THE ICEMAN

The Iceman – Confessions of a Mafia Hitman (2002) and The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer (1992) are HBO produced documentaries of the mafia hitman, Richard Kuklinski.

After years of silence, The Iceman speaks. In two interviews a decade apart, Richard Kuklinski, a notorious top enforcer for the Gambino crime family, tells his unusual and gruesome story. Raised on—and immune to—violence, he kept his unorthodox job and tactics a secret from his adoring family. In 1986, after a long investigation, Kuklinski was betrayed by “the only man I didn’t kill” and is serving multiple life sentences. Starring: Richard Kuklinski

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY

A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet’s surface or crust, which allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates  coming together.
By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth’s crust (called “non-hotspot intraplate volcanism”), such as in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America

NIAGARA

Niagara Falls are one of the most exciting places in the world. They are considered as one of the most amazing wonders of the nature. They can be found on the border between United States and Canada, near Buffalo.
Their beauty and their massiveness can look pretty frightening, sometimes. Niagara Falls are showing us how nature sometimes can be extremely wild and beautiful in same time. These waterfalls are also known as one of the main sources of the energy in Northern America. The very first hydroelectric power plant was built here by Nikola Tesla which lead to a revolution in use of the electric power.
This place is known by its pretty variable weather where you can experience all four seasons of the year in only one day. This fact gives Niagara Falls some special beauty. If you decide to visit this place expect to have some beautiful sights there, similar to the following photos.
