Yellowstone National Park is the pride of the United States. It's an untouched wilderness. It’s overflowing with scenic landscapes. And its colourful hot pools and geysers attract tens of thousands of visitors every year. But underneath this beautiful — but thin — skin is a lurking monster. An enormous pool of magma sits high in the Earth’s crust. It’s been calculated to contain about 250 billion cubic kilometres of molten rock. What lurks beneath ... Yellowstone National Park.

Conditions are set to deteriorate with the potential for a November temperature record that’s stood for 125 years to be broken in Melbourne tomorrow. The Victorian capital had been forecast to reach 34C today and Thursday but a reassessment by forecasters has suggested it could now approach 40C tomorrow. Overnight on Thursday in Victoria could be “oppressive,” said the Bureau of Meteorology. Total fire bans are in place across much of South Australia with catastrophic fire conditions, the most severe bushfire rating, in place around Adelaide. Adelaide could shatter its all-time November record as temperatures get set to reach 42C today and elsewhere in South Australia records are going to tumble. Temperatures are expected to spike in Murray Bridge to 44.2C, the highest for a November day on record, and in Victor Harbour, 41.7C, 0.4C higher than its record.

Conditions are set to deteriorate with the potential for a November temperature record that’s stood for 125 years to be broken in Melbourne tomorrow. The Victorian capital had been forecast to reach 34C today and Thursday but a reassessment by forecasters has suggested it could now approach 40C tomorrow.

Total fire bans are in place across much of South Australia with catastrophic fire conditions, the most severe bushfire rating, in place around Adelaide. Adelaide is set to reach 42C today ahead of the front. Expect dust haze and winds of up to 45km/h which could exacerbate any bush fires. But on Thursday the maximum could drop by as much as 20 degrees to a mere 25C. It's set to be an absolutely blistering day across southern Australia today.

TRPs have a better affinity for Karti Chidambaram and his alleged timely assistance to INX Media, the company Peter and Indrani once ran, than the more recent murder of a 25-year-old woman.Rediff.com A baldish, bespectacled, advocate repeatedly attempted to interrupt proceedings in the Sheena Bora murder trial on Monday, March 5, in CBI Special Courtroom 51 at the city civil and sessions court, south Mumbai. He was ultimately successful. The cross examination of police Inspector Ganesh Dalvi, who allegedly first arrested the Mukerjeas' driver Shyamvar Pinturam Rai and brought him to the Khar police station, north west Mumbai, in August 2015, was underway. This elderly lawyer first made repeated trips to the legal clerks' desk, next to the judge, seeking certain information. After that he began to persistently hover behind Sudeep Pasbola, Indrani Mukerjea's trial lawyer, as he interrogated Dalvi. Judge Jayendra Chandrasen Jagdale noticed him too, but, with a laugh, ignored him for a … [Read more...] about Karti Chidambaram raises interest in the Sheena Bora trial
