An estimated nine million people rock climb in the United States. Millions more take part in the activity in the world. Some do it just for personal satisfaction ,many compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many methods and protective devices that can enhance a climber’s safety.
Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to push themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by with their fingers or toes.
There are several kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes and attach devices from the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up. They also connect their ropes to the devices. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.

This means over a million women and girls suffer violence even after almost 70 years of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Violence against women is the biggest war around the world. Domestic violence, of course, is the most painful of them all because you are being violated by those who are meant to love, cherish and protect you. This is revealing because it lifts the veil on the ugly side of families, the much revered of institutions, which socializes us and instills values in us. In order to be safe, women are advised not to go out, but the fact is that the family is the most dangerous place for women and girls.

Sample Transcription 3 She says Flynn asked her to send the document to him. This was because she was expecting some senior officials visiting Washington from Russia. At this point, there was a move towards trying to increase co-operation in Russia in the field of counter-terrorism, as it had currently emerged that those involved in the 2013 Boston bombing had been known to the Russians. Lokhova says both Flynn and his assistant provided their emails, looking backward to using the postcard to break the ice when the Russian officials arrived in Washington. Claims she was asked to travel to Russia and act as his translator, Lokhova said, are not true. Show Answer She says Flynn asked her to send the document to him.

Sample Transcription 4 Reflux occurs when totally digested food and acid flow back from your stomach into your oesophagus, causing the telltale burning sensation in your chest. It can resemble a heart attack — hence it’s called heartburn. Normally, a muscle that acts like a valve within your stomach and the oesophagus (called the upper oesophageal sphincter, or LES) prevents the backwash of food from the gut. But when the LES is overwhelmed by pressure for your belly, it causes a reflux. If this condition becomes chronic (twice a week or less), it’s called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD can further cause symptoms such as a chronic cough, sore throat, hoarseness and chest pain. Severe acidic reflux can injure the oesophagus, causing ulcers and strictures (narrowing of the oesophagus) and even oesophageal cancer.

Sample Transcription 5 A woman who was charged with disorderly conduct for laughing during the confirmation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been found guilty and could punished up to a year in prison. Desiree Fairooz have been convicted for laughing early in Mr Sessions’ confirmation hearing after Alabama Senator Richard Shelby said that the future attorney general’s record of “treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and nicely documented.” She has been convicted alongside two many protesters who had donned Ku Klux Klan costumes during the confirmation. Those two protesters could also face up to a year in castle.
