볼티모어의 소요상: Images of the Unrest in Baltimore

On Monday afternoon, April 27, 2015, the funeral for Freddie Gray took place in Baltimore, Maryland. Gray died last week from spinal injuries suffered while in Baltimore Police custody. After the funeral, against the wishes of the Gray family, some peaceful demonstrations took place, but other protests became violent, devolving into chaotic clashes, and resulting in numerous injuries to police officers, smashed storefronts, burned cars, and widespread looting. Governor Larry Hogan has declared a state of emergency, activating the Maryland National Guard, and the scheduled baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox has been postponed.

폐허가 된 네팔: The ruins of Nepal

ALAN TAYLOR

Nepalis started fleeing their devastated capital of Kathmandu on April 27 after Saturday's earthquake killed more than 3,700 people and toppled entire city blocks. The United Nations has launched a massive aid operation, but severed communications and landslides in the Himalayan nation pose formidable challenges. Residents of Kathmandu are in need of almost everything - shelter, fuel, food, medicine, power, news, workers, and more. People are searching for lost loved ones, sorting through rubble for their belongings, and struggling to meet their families' needs. The earthquake was the worst to hit the South Asian nation in over 80 years, strong enough to be felt across parts of India, Bangladesh, Tibet, and Pakistan.

당이 함유 된 양조주의 경우 체지방으로 축절 될 위험이 높지만,

도수가 높은 증류주는 알코올 성분이 체내에서 쉽게 열로 바뀌면서

저장되지 않기 때문에

다이어트에 도움이 된다.
