  • Chalk up

    A Hindu holy man or Naga Sadhu laughs as he leaves a Langar or free kitchen at Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna River during the Maha Kumbh festival in Allahabad, India. The significance of nakedness is that they will not have any worldly ties to material belongings, even something as simple as clothes. This ritual that transforms selected holy men to Naga can only be done at the Kumbh festival. (AP Photo/Kevin Frayer)

  • Silver screen

    Herring worth billions in exports are seen floating dead in Kolgrafafjordur, a small fjord on the northern part of Snaefellsnes peninsula, west Iceland, for the second time in two months. Between 25,000 and 30,000 tons of herring died in December and more now, due to lack of oxygen in the fjord thought to have been caused by a landfill and bridge constructed across the fjord in December 2004.

The announcement that was made Friday stated that the entire project, initially comprising 12 hotels and six casinos, is to be finished by 2023 at an estimated cost of €€22 billion.
