A Woman Says Something Nice About Steven Seagal

Here’s something you see about as often as Kate Gosselin choosing her kids over the spotlight: A female, former employee of Steven Seagal has gone on record with nice things to say about the actor. When contacted by TMZ, Sonam Choezom – who served as Seagal’s nanny in 1996 – said Seagal offered to move her ailing father from Nepal to the America, while employing Choezom as his babysitter so she could afford her dad’s health care bills. Sonam said she is “very surprised” by the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen because the actor was “always very nice and respectful” to her. He never once tried to touch her vagina for ” a second to see what it felt like .” Seagal could definitely use this kind of good news. While his attorney denies all claims, more allegations have surfaced against the actor this week: Ex-wife Kelly LeBrock said she will release “many shocking things” about her former husband in an upcoming book. The granddaughter of music legend Ray Charles, Blair Robinson , filed a document that accused Seagal of harassing her in 2004. Movie critics have wondered whether Seagal actually marked for death in the 1990 action flick Marked for Death .

What’s the Agreed Height of Mt. Everest?

There has been a long-running disagreement between China and Nepal regarding the height of Mount Everest. The highest mountain is transversely located between the border of China and Nepal. The two countries have finally agreed on a solution that the world’s highest mountain should be recognized as being 8,848m tall. Previously, China argued it should be measured by its rock height, but Nepal said it should be measured by its snow height which will be four meters higher. Both counties recognized each claims. This means that it could either be 8,844m (measuring its rock height) or 8,848m (measuring its snow height.) The first measurement was made in 1856. The widely-accepted height of 8,848m was first recorded in 1955 by an Indian survey. Instead of measuring the rock beneath it, it measured the mountain’s snow cap. Some geologists claim that the estimates made by both countries over the height of Mount Everest could be wrong, because the mountain is said to be continuously growing. An evidence of this claim is the shifting continental plates that gradually push India beneath China and Nepal What’s the Agreed Height of Mt.
