Note: THE KARAKORAM HIGHWAY
The attributes of this unbelievable roadway, the Karakoram Highway, extending from Pakistan to China, is fast becoming recognized as the 8th man-made wonder of the world. Known informally as the KKH, it is the highest paved international road in the world. I would not like to have to drive this road in the daytime, let alone at night. Yikes!!!
At its peak, near the China/Pakistan border, it is considered to be one of the world’s hardest alpine climbs. The Karakorum Highway connects China and Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range via the Khunjerab Pass. Its maximum elevation is 4,693 meters (15,397 feet) above sea level.
810 Pakistani and 82 Chinese workers lost their lives in landslides and falls while building the highway.
The route of the KKH traces one of the many paths of the ancient Silk Road and has a total length of approximately 1,300 Km. (800 miles). 887 Km. (551 miles) in Pakistan and 413 Km. (257 miles) in China. It was started in 1959 and completed 27 years later in 1986.

The Senate late Monday approved a mammoth package of emergency economic relief, government funding, and tax cuts, sending one of the largest pieces of legislation ever approved by Congress to President Trump for enactment.
The legislation was the product of intense negotiations over the past two weeks and was introduced as a 5,593-page bill earlier on Monday. The Senate passed the bill with a 92-to-6 vote at 11:42 p.m., about two hours after the House easily passed it. The bill reflected a growing unease in Washington about the spike in coronavirus cases and deaths and recent signs that the economy is weakening markedly. Nine months after the pandemic upended the U.S. economy, government leaders are still scrambling to try to contain the carnage exacted on millions of households and businesses in every U.S. state.
Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris, who is still a senator from California until next month, was among the bipartisan group of lawmakers to vote on the bill.
“Yes, there is more work to do, and it will cost some money, but it will protect jobs and, most importantly, it will meet the needs of the American people — to crush this virus and to do so in a way that brings us all into the future in a very safe way,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said.

This weekend, it happened again: more mass shootings in America. This time, gunmen in an attack in Odessa and Midland, Texas, and another in Mobile, Alabama, shot dozens of people, with at least several reported dead.
Already, the shootings have led to demands for action. “How many of @JohnCornyn@tedcruz constituents must die before they do something?” the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence tweeted, referring to Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both Republicans who have resisted stricter gun laws.
But if this plays out like the aftermath of past mass shootings, from Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 to Las Vegas in 2017, the chances of Congress taking major action on guns is very low.
This has become an American routine: After every mass shooting, the debate over guns and gun violence starts up once again. Maybe some bills get introduced. Critics respond with concerns that the government is trying to take away their guns. The debate stalls. So even as America continues experiencing levels of gun violence unrivaled in the rest of the developed world, nothing happens — no laws are passed by Congress, nothing significant is done to try to prevent the next horror.
