The "death zone" is the area on the mountain above 26,000 feet, where low oxygen levels can cause impaired judgment, severe altitude sickness and death after an extended period of time. The mountain’s summit is 29,032 feet.  "On May 21st, at 4:40 AM, Daniel Paterson successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest — a monumental achievement and a testament to his strength and determination," his partner, Becks Woodhead, wrote on a crowdfunding page this week.

CAITLIN CLARK FINALLY GETS FIRST WNBA WIN AFTER PAIR OF CLUTCH 3S IN FRONT OF STAR-STUDDED L. A. CROWD. (PHOTO).

 Caitlin Clark finally gets first WNBA win after pair of clutch 3s in front of star-studded L.A. crowd Caitlin Clark was in unfamiliar territory to start off her WNBA career, as her Indiana Fever lost its first five-straight games. For context, Clark lost just five games in the entire 2023-24 college season with the Iowa Hawkeyes (they went 34-5). The Fever will have to win 33 straight games to match that (this would have to stretch into the league's playoffs, and Iowa's record includes postseason games), but at least now, their skid is over, and much of it is because of Clark. Clark hit two clutch threes, including one with less than a minute to go, to help Indiana take down the Sparks in Los Angeles, 78-73, in front of a crowd of 19,103 at Crypto.com Arena. Indy trailed by as many as 11, but after losing by just three entering the final quarter, they started the fourth on a 16-6 run to take a six-point lead. L.A. then cut their deficit to three, but with 2:27 left, Clark dril...

 Electricity tariffs to crash with time - Minister Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu has said that the pain that came with increased tariff in the country is a temporary phase which would pass.  While presenting his ministerial scorecard in Abuja on Friday, May 24, Adelabu said electricity distribution companies (DisCos) are now responsive to their duties because the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has improved on its oversight over them. He added that the electricity tariff will crash over time just like telecoms tariffs. Adelabu said;  “It might look expensive at the moment, I am optimistic that these tariffs will go down. We know how much we were buying SIM cards when telecoms first came. We know how much we were buying the telephone sets. But gradually, it scaled off. “Generation, transmission and distribution, these prices will also go down. So, it is a temporary hardship and it will lead to permanent gain.” The power minister further revealed that...

 Sanusi defies court order, mounts throne as Emir of Kano The 16th Fulani Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has mounted the palace seat, receiving royal greetings. This development comes in spite of a joint security agency in Kano State declaring that they are upholding a court order that prohibits the reinstatement of the monarch. Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, who came out from the Emir’s inner palace to the outer palace, where traditionally Emirs receive their subjects and conduct court sittings, was cheered by hundreds of his supporters as he majestically rode a horse. The state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, earlier told newsmen that “nobody can change their position on the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II because they did it legally.” He said, “The so-called court order banning them from reinstating Sanusi was not officially submitted to them, and as at the time they did the reinstatement, it was after working hours, which shows that anything coming from the court ...
