Smooth highway inside dense trees giving fresh cold air that nostrils could feel started giving me excitement about our trip. We had just passed Siliguri, a small city of West Bengal. I could see army barrack and choppers on both side of the road. The hot air was slowly cooling down as our vehicle started to approach towards the hills. A few hours later, we were on "Rangpo Bridge" the entrance gate of Sikkim. There we had to take pass (visa) to visit the state. The visa process was very simple since we were from neighboring country Nepal. They kept a copy of our citizenship certificate and gave us the passes to visit. We reached hotel at around seven in the evening where we had already done reservation. We checked in and since we were tired, we all went to bed that day. First day Th. . .
It's a Tuesday night and you're in bed with your laptop, your iPhone buzzing from the nightstand.

The survey found that almost 35% of adults get less than seven hours of sleep per night, the recommended minimum amount to reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Ana Krieger, medical director of the Weill Cornell Center for Sleep Medicine, says carving out the time for adequate sleep during the wor. . .
Since its creation, we have learned about the Islamic State from its enemies. Its story has largely been told by those fighting the group in Iraq and Syria, traumatized civilians who have escaped its brutal rule, and the occasional defector. That is about to change. This is the story of Abu Ahmad, a Syrian operative for the Islamic State who witnessed the group’s lightning expansion firsthand and spent months among its most notorious foreign fighters. In this series of three articles, he provides unique insight into how Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s political scheming paved the way for the Islamic State’s expansion into Syria, al Qaeda’s efforts to stem the group’s rise, and the terrifying weapons in the arsenal of the self-proclaimed “caliphate.” Some names and details h. . .
Eric Martin is still processing his big news. The 29-year-old marketer from York, Pennsylvania just became a millionaire thanks to a smart investment inJet.com, which Walmart is buying for more than $3 billion. Early last year, Martincompeted in Jet's "Insiders" referral program, ultimately spending about $18,000 to cinch himself the top prize of 100,000 shares of common stock.

Messaging could be the next big thing. If it is, Line is perfectly positioned to ride the trend to untold riches. The app has four to five times the number of monthly active users as Facebook in Japan and is similarly popular in Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia. David Gibson, an analyst at Macquarie Research, thinks the company's stock price will shoot up 32% higher on the Japanese markets. The main attraction isn't even the crazy popular messaging app, but rather it's the ad platform behind it. "Our report is differentiated from others in the market because we met with six major ad agencies to understand their attitude to the LINE Ad Platform," Gibson said in a note to clients. The biggest markets for mobile ads in Japan are Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo Japan. These markets are. . .

A newly released study shows that regular drinkers are less likely to die prematurely than people who have never indulged in alcohol. You read that right: Time reports that abstaining from alcohol altogether can lead to a shorter life than consistent, moderate drinking. Surprised?
