    The Tour d’Azerbaidjan reached its conclusion in the capital Baku on Sunday. The 144km route of the fifth and final stage comprised a dozen laps of a 12km circuit in the city centre. It ended in triumph for Lithuanian national team rider, Tomas Vaitkus. "Winning is always nice," enthused Vaitkus, who ended five years without a stage victory. "I showed with this victory, that I'm still capable of getting results and that I know how to finish first."

    In second place was Belgium's Sean de Bie of the Leopard-Trek team, with Stan Godrie from Rabobank Development crossing the line in third.

    The stage result didn't affect the top of the general classification, as Ukrainian Sergiy Grechyn of Torku Sekerspor finished as overall winner. "This victory is very significant," said Grechyn at the post-event press conference. "It's an honour to come the first in a race of this standard and class. I'm very glad that I managed to defend the blue jersey."

    Local team Synergy Baku Cycling Project also finished among the honours, with their German rider Christoph Schweizer claiming the green jersey as the Tour's best sprinter, while his Irish team-mate Connor McConvey took the King of the Mountain's red jersey. Meanwhile, Bakhtyar Kozhatayev of the Continental Team Astana was convincing winner of the violet and white jersey as the best young rider of the Tour.

• Ranthambore tiger sent to Sari Ranthambore tiger sent to Sariska reserve

  • From: marklarson
  • Description:

    The Sariska Tiger Reserve received one more tiger when experts from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) were able to tranquilize and shift a feline from the Ranthambore National Park Easytoursofindia.com to raise Sariska’s total number of the big cats to eight - six adults and two cubs.
    

    ST-2 gave birth to two cubs last August ending speculation about the success of the first tiger relocation in June 2008. Wildlife Park officials have been targeting two young tigresses, orphaned by the death of T-5 in Ranthambore National Park, for shifting.

    The new tigress in Sariska has been named B-1 after Rajasthan Minister of Wildlife and Forest Bina Kak. At two years old, the tigress has been released in the park and killed its first prey, which is a good sign said officials. The National Tiger Conservation Authority has given permission to shift two tigresses from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve.

• Various Tibetan Funeral Ways Various Tibetan Funeral Ways

  • From: tibettravel
  • Description:

    When referring to Tibetan funeral service customs, sky funeral would enter into the mind for anyone because mist burial may be the most mysterious ritual if anyone is outside Tibet. Most visitors are curious about the exotic sky burial way when travelling in Tibet. Actually, other varieties of funeral ways may also be practiced around Tibet, as well as inhumation, cremation, water burial, woods burial, stupa funeral, cliff funeral, stone coffin funeral and multi-person funeral, etc. Inhumation Inhumation may be the earliest funeral service practice around Tibet. In olden days, inhumation prevailed around remote areas of Tibet and took your ruling position during the Tubo Kingdom span. It possessed evolved at its top and come to be the noblest funeral service practice should the Tubo Kingdom has been also 100 % flourish. These days, we could still locate some brilliant royal tombs associated with Tibet Kings and royalties. In case you are interesting around Tibetan inhumation, you possibly can make a Tibet trip to Qonggyai Region of Shannan Prefecture to arrive at the Tombs associated with Tibetan Kings. However having decline on the Tubo Kingdom, inhumation is definitely gradually taken for a humble funeral way mostly for expended of contagious disease or perhaps accident or for your outlanders, who will be considered as impure but not qualified to get celestial funeral or h2o burial. Mist Burial Around Tibetan Buddhism, it is definitely believed of which sky funeral or celestial funeral represents his or her wishes to visit to heaven. It may be the most popular way to get commoners deal with the expended in Tibet. In the event you make a Lhasa trip having Drigung Til Monastery, you'll possess a chance a discover the mist burial internet site there. Every time a Tibetan dies, the corpse is definitely wrapped around white Tibetan fabric and turned to a corner on the house to get three or perhaps five days to weeks, during which usually monks or perhaps lamas are usually asked to read your scripture aloud to ensure the souls could be released via purgatory. The dead is carried on the burial site using a lucky day time. Meanwhile plenty of cypress branches will be burned for making smoke in order to attract condors to eat our bodies. If your vultures arrive and eat our bodies, it ensures that the expended has no sin and that his/her soul went peacefully on the Paradise to get Tibetans feel that the condors within the mountains about the celestial funeral platform are usually "holy birds" and only eat the human body without targeting any smaller animals regional. Any stays left by holy birds should be collected way up and burnt as you move the Lamas chant sutras in order to redeem your sins on the dead, for the reason that remains could tie your spirits to this life. Many tourists setting up a tour in Tibet could watch accomplishing this of a sky funeral. But they are not allowed to accomplish it for the reason that strangers aren't allowed to go to the wedding ceremony for Tibetans believe it'll bring detrimental efforts on the ascending on the souls. So visitors should adhere to this personalized and prevent such events. But visitors can observe a mist burial on Langmusi within the border associated with Gansu and Sichuan if they make an Amdo Tibet Trip. H2o Burial Water burial is known as a derivative on the sky funeral in Tibet. Its placement is two-fold around different areas of Tibet. Celestial funeral prevails around central Tibet and water funeral is thus just for the weak people in this area. Conversely, in your marginal areas of Tibet, especially at the deep valleys around Southern Tibet where you'll find few vultures obtainable, water funeral becomes the primary way for your local folks. They do not think associated with it as being inferior in celestial funeral, since both are to get dedication on the deities, whether inside air or perhaps under h2o. Thus, people there do not eat species of fish. Do adhere to their custom after you do a Tibet trip to this area. Stupa Funeral Stupa burial may be the holiest funeral service practice around Tibet. Only lavish Living Buddhas and few noblemen could be qualified. Stupa is really a Tibetan Buddhist spiritual monument as well as a sacred funeral site. It can be reserved to get Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama or perhaps the Residing Buddha. Whenever they pass absent, their bodies will carry out antiseptic medication, mummification or perhaps preservation, then reside on the inside of the gold or metalic stupa to get worship. After you travel in Tibet, you will observe many stupas around monasteries associated with Tibet. Woods Burial Tree funeral prevails around Nyingchi Prefecture and it is mainly applied for aborted children. The process is usually to clean our bodies with sodium solution, then location it in to a wooden fabric, cask or perhaps bamboo gift basket, and take it in forested place north-facing within the mountain, and hang using a great woods, so additional children on the family will be free from being wounded again. Cliff Funeral Cliff burial is principally practiced around southern Tibet. Every time a person dies, the body will be coated having ghee or perhaps milk, and treated having salts and perfume, then sealed within a small cube-shaped wood made crate. The funeral site is generally selected around places a long way away from our habitation, especially inside cliffs standing aside associated with torrential lake valleys. Setting up a Tibet trekking tour, you can receive a possible opportunity to find a cliff funeral site around remote areas from the main path. The Tibetan funeral service customs happen to be greatly stimulated by Tibetan Buddhism, Bon Religion along with the nonparallel natural and national environment.

    This is a photo of a White Faced Capuchin Monkey that we came across while hiking in the Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica.

The White Faced Capuchin Monkey decided he didn't want it to go to waste so he took the banana and peeled it and then sat at our table and ate the banana next to us. It was so funny.
