    Lake Lanier death: Man electrocuted after jumping into "haunted" water
    https://www.newsweek.com/lake-lanier-death-man-electrocuted-after-jumping-haunted-water-1816241
    A man died from electrocution on Sunday after jumping into Lake Lanier, a destination that has built a reputation among some as "haunted." Lake Lanier is located in Northern Georgia, situated next to Gainesville and roughly 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. A manmade reservoir opened to the public in 1956, the lake has gained a reputation as one of the deadliest bodies of water in the United States, with over 700 deaths reported across its nearly six-decade history.

    Charging interest on student loan debt is actually a good thing

    Don’t be fooled — cutting interest rates is just another way to accomplish debt forgiveness, this time through the back door. (won't someone think about the starving debt collection agencies?)

    Ukraine faces the deadly threat of land mines as Russians retreat
    https://www.reuters.com/graphics/UKRAINE-CRISIS/LANDMINES/myvmgnqbavr/index.html/
    As Ukrainian forces slowly push ahead with their 2023 counteroffensive after more than a year of shifting battle lines, the country’s military and civilians face a deadly problem: land mines, potentially hundreds of thousands of them, scattered across roads, buried in fields and concealed in devastated cities. There are new, advanced types that can sense movement or destroy vehicles from hundreds of meters away. Most common, however, are older, simple weapons that were produced in the tens of millions and fill the armories of both the Ukrainian and Russian militaries. Reuters interviewed four humanitarian demining organizations and two military experts and examined technical surveys by mine-clearance groups of unexploded ordnance in Ukraine to reveal mine contamination so vast that it is most likely unprecedented in the 21st century.

    Bunkers, sniper rifles: Deepening sectarian war in India dents Modi's image
    https://www.reuters.com/world/india/bunkers-sniper-rifles-deepening-sectarian-war-india-dents-modis-image-2023-07-28/
    A one-mile stretch of a highway in the lush green foothills of India's Manipur state has become the symbol of a vicious sectarian conflict that has killed over 180 people since May and severely dented the strongman image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bitter fighting between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribals is in the remote northeast of the country but it has lasted for almost three months, a deep embarrassment for Modi as he prepares to host a summit of G20 leaders in September and contest a general election next year. There have been past tensions between the two groups, but violence erupted in early May after the state high court ordered the government to consider extending economic benefits reserved for the Kuki tribals to the Meiteis. Street protests spiralled into armed conflict and now, rival gunmen have dug into bunkers and outposts along the highway and in other places in Manipur, and regularly fire at each other with assault weapons, sniper rifles and pistols. Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes because of the fighting, villages have been set on fire and many women sexually assaulted, residents and media reports say. The Meitei-dominated state police are seen as partisan while army troops have been ordered to keep the peace but not to disarm fighters. There is no sign of any early resolution.
