  • POLICE HUNTING WESTERN TOURISTS SEEN BATHING NAKED IN RIVER<br />
<br />
Police were today hunting two western tourists who sparked outrage after bathing NAKED in Thai river.<br />
<br />
The pair were seen for two consecutive days skinny dipping in the Pai river next to a resort in Mae Hong Son, near the border with Burma. <br />
<br />
They were splashing around in the cool water and scrubbing each other's bodies in front of bemused locals.<br />
<br />
A furious onlooker called police - who sped to the idyllic spot on motorbikes but the couple had already disappeared.<br />
<br />
A local resort owner disgusted by the public nudity shared the pictures online where they went viral - causing outrage among locals.<br />
<br />
The resort owner, who did not want to be identified, said: ''This was disgusting. I called the police but they were were too late and the pair had already left on a motorbike. <br />
<br />
''And that is not all. Some foreigners are walking down the main street in Pai in bikinis. I know it is a tourist area but there are temples all around there. <br />
<br />
''Someone needs to talk to them and tell them to cover up and show some respect.''<br />

A general view of the Lancang River is seen from the air  in Jinghong, Yunnan Province of China. The Lancang River is the longest river flowing from north to south in China. It takes its source from the Zhaqu of the Guangguori Peak of Tanggula Mountain Range in Qinghai Province, China. It is called the Lancang River after it reaches Changdu. The river runs south until it leaves China at the Nanla Bayout of Yunnan Province and therefrom changes its name from the Lancang River to the Mekong River. The river finally empties into the Pacific Ocean in the south of Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam.<br />

  • Mocona Falls A 3 km Waterfall That Runs Parallel to The River<br />
<br />
Iguazu Falls may be the most popular waterfalls in Argentina, but Mocona Falls take the crown for the most unique. Mocona does not follow the normal downward and forward trajectory that most waterfalls do. Instead, it runs along the length of the river with water spilling off the side into a gorge. At 3 km long, it is perhaps the only waterfalls in the world to run parallel to the river rather than perpendicular.<br />
<br />
Mocona Falls, also known as Yucumã Falls, is located in the Uruguay river, in the province of Misiones, in Argentina, 337 kilometers from the city of Posadas and 322 kilometers from Iguazu Falls. Since the Uruguay river acts as a natural border between Argentina and Brazil, this unique geological feature is shared by both countries. The name Moconá means “to swallow everything” in the Guarani language and is used mostly in Argentina. Yucumã means “the big fall” and is popular in Brazil.<br />
<br />
An unusual feature of the Uruguay River is the presence of a submerged canyon or trench at the bottom of the river channel. The canyon, which is believed to have formed during the Ice Age, when the climate was drier and the river was narrower, is up to 100 meters deep and 15 - 30% of the width of the river. The canyon is only visible in two places, one of which is the Moconá Falls.<br />
<br />
The falls itself are not visible for 150 days a year when the river is full. During this period, the falls become more like rapids. When water level becomes low and falls below the edge of the canyon, it starts spilling into the now exposed canyon, and the Mocona Falls is formed. Depending on the volume of the water dragged by the Uruguay River, the height of the falls varies from five to seven meters. The width of the waterfall is also subjected to water volume ranging between 1,800 meters and 3,000 meters wide.<br />
<br />
The area where the Moconá falls are located is considered a Provincial Park which include the Yabotí Biosp

  • The Stunning Beauty of Braided Rivers<br />
<br />
Most rivers flow in one broad channel of water, but some rivers split into lots of small channels that continually split and join each other to give a braided appearance. These are called braided rivers.<br />
<br />
Braided rivers are usually wide but shallow. They typically form on fairly steep slopes and carry large amount of coarse-grained sediments. When the river’s flow decreases, these sediments get deposited on the river bed leaving behind small temporary islands of sands that cause the river’s channel to split. Aside from a steep gradient and abundance of sediments, a variable water discharge rate is essential to their formation. Consequently, braided rivers exist near mountainous regions, especially those with glaciers. Braided channels are also found in environments that dramatically decrease channel depth, and hence channel velocity, such as river deltas, alluvial fans and peneplains.          <br />

<br />
According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the homeless population of Los Angeles and L.A. County has increased as much as 20% in the last year, and leads the nation in homeless unsheltered living, at nearly 70%.<br />
Homelessness here has grown substantially since the last El Niño, which dumped 30 inches of rain on Los Angeles during the winter of 1997-98, authorities say. Recently, the Los Angeles City Council declared a state of emergency on homelessness and called for $100 million to help address the growing crisis. The Los Angeles River flows through Los Angeles County, from Canoga Park in the western end of the San Fernando Valley, nearly 48 miles southeast to its mouth in Long Beach. Homeless people live along much of its length, with many located generally east of Downtown L.A., making their homes in and around the river, under overpasses or alongside rail lines and industrial wastelands. Those people - many dealing with disability, mental health and criminal justice issues - living in tents, improvised shelters and live-in vehicles, have increased 85% in the same period. Causes include high unemployment, low wages and escalating rents, coupled with gentrification and elimination of SRO hotels and cheap rooms, a last option for many. An estimated 800 people live in LA’s riverbeds and storm drains, which will be deluged with powerful torrents when El Niño storms arrive in early 2016. Although the Sheriff’s Department and LA’s Homeless Services Authority have made numerous visits to warn residents, many see no compelling reason - or options - for moving. Most are not the transient homeless we are used to seeing but have set up semi-permanent living quarters in the LA River, which with its sweeping concrete vistas and city skyline sunsets may soon become both a beautiful and dangerous place to call home.<br />

In Alaska every year the grizzly bears come to the rivers when the salmon are running up river to spawn.  Each bear has its specific spot in the river and they learn how to fish from that spot. (there are battles of who gets the prime spots with naturally the larger bears winning out).  I was at Brooks Camp on the Katmai peninsula watching this spectacular event for a few days and this particular bear had snagged the prime spot on top of the waterfall.  He stood there basically still waiting for the fish to come to him.  As the fish swim upstream some just pick the wrong spot to jump and hay presto....end up jumping right into the waiting bears mouth!  You need a lot of fish jumping for this to occur so lots of misses before he got one and a skilled bear to stay in that spot on the slippery rocks above the falls without going over.  Some of the other spots the bears picked include what I called the washing machine...just below the falls where a particular bear would sit and dunk its head into the melee and come up with a fish...amazing how it did it.<br />

According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the homeless population of Los Angeles and L.A. County has increased as much as 20% in the last year, and leads the nation in homeless unsheltered living, at nearly 70%.<br />
Homelessness here has grown substantially since the last El Niño, which dumped 30 inches of rain on Los Angeles during the winter of 1997-98, authorities say. Recently, the Los Angeles City Council declared a state of emergency on homelessness and called for $100 million to help address the growing crisis. The Los Angeles River flows through Los Angeles County, from Canoga Park in the western end of the San Fernando Valley, nearly 48 miles southeast to its mouth in Long Beach. Homeless people live along much of its length, with many located generally east of Downtown L.A., making their homes in and around the river, under overpasses or alongside rail lines and industrial wastelands. Those people - many dealing with disability, mental health and criminal justice issues - living in tents, improvised shelters and live-in vehicles, have increased 85% in the same period. Causes include high unemployment, low wages and escalating rents, coupled with gentrification and elimination of SRO hotels and cheap rooms, a last option for many. An estimated 800 people live in LA’s riverbeds and storm drains, which will be deluged with powerful torrents when El Niño storms arrive in early 2016. Although the Sheriff’s Department and LA’s Homeless Services Authority have made numerous visits to warn residents, many see no compelling reason - or options - for moving. Most are not the transient homeless we are used to seeing but have set up semi-permanent living quarters in the LA River, which with its sweeping concrete vistas and city skyline sunsets may soon become both a beautiful and dangerous place to call home.<br />

  • Is this mystery rock a dinosaur or just a hoax?<br />
<br />
Fisherman in Siberia claim to have found the remains of a 150 million-year-old dinosaur or reptile in a river.<br />
<br />
Their boat supposedly bumped into the head of the crocodile-like rock, which was apparently confirmed by scientists to be an ancient lizard or even a dinosaur.<br />
<br />
The discovery was made by fisherman from the Wild North Fishing Club were travelling by boat down the Ruta-Ru River in the Yamal Peninsula of northern Russia.<br />
<br />
Their boat struck something that they initially thought was a boulder, but on closer examination had a somewhat more familiar appearance.<br />
<br />
Paleontologists are now heading to the river in Siberia to verify the potentially significant discovery.<br />
<br />
Club chairman Yevgeny Svitov said: ‘It was hard to miss, because the boat driven by my colleague Oleg Yushkov had bumped against it. When he looked to see what it was he found this huge head.’<br />
He said that they photographed it and when they got back they emailed the picture to the Zoological Museum of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia.<br />
<br />
Their scientists came back to them to say that they believed it was the fossilised remains of a lizard that had lived about 150 million years ago, reports The Siberian Times.<br />
<br />
The Institute's head Pavel Kosintsev said that it was not the first report of fossil discoveries in the region but it was the first photographic evidence that the rumours were 'true'.<br />
<br />
He said all the indications were that there is possibly a wealth of similar fossils in the area.<br />
<br />
‘We have dispatched an expedition there to investigate the remains and secure them for future study,’ he said.<br />
<br />
‘At this stage though it's difficult to be precise about exactly what the find shows.’<br />
<br />
The institute is confident that the remains have significant scientific value and they are hoping to recover them before the spring thaw washes them away.<br />
<br />
However, speaking to MailOnline other experts expressed their
