INTRODUCTION
March 2012 last two days Report

The low depression has brought the maximum temperatures down by two three degrees during March 29 night and 31 March 2012. However, the effect of the depression has moved away from Visakhapatnam, it rained about 2cms in Pattikonda and in Erragondapalem, Arogyvaram, Pamidi, Nadyala, and Khambam, and in other parts of the state, it rained just 1cm. The Mulakalacheruvu and Tripuranthakam it showered hailstones causing several birds to die. Especially on Saturday 31 March 2012 early morning, the hailstorm has occurred in Chittoor zilla. Madanpalli revenue division Mango, Bopayyi, Tomato, and other industrial crops are affected. Ryots have lost of Crores of Rupees. In Mulkalacheruvu nearly 100 Ramachilakalu birds died. In Praksam district, the gales have destroyed crops in Tripuranthakam, Peddadornala, Pullalacheruvu, Yerragondapalem, Kambama, Adanki and Pangalure along several Mandals. On Friday 30 March 2012 midnight, the gusty winds destroyed Banana, Sugarcane, Boppai and the Lemon crops.

April 2012 First fortnight  Report

In Malaysia, Bornia island (Dweepa) large amounts of Sunnapurai is found, more than the worlds production and these date back to about 34000years ago when movement of human beings in these caves has occurred.

EARTHQUAKES

An Earthquake rocked Kashmir Valley at magnitude 5.2R on Saturday morning at 9.46AM the Natural Disaster Centre reported. The epicenter was in Hindukush region of Afghanistan, No causalities’ reported. Another Earthquake rocked the Japan on Sunday 1 April 2012 and recorded as of intensity 5.9R scale, no details are available.

Monsoon

Monsoon showing decreasing trend in April 2012 in annual rainfall in the next few decades said the former Director of IMD, India while delivering at the Science and Communications at Cochin University on Friday. Some 2000 cattle in Nanoor, Jainoor and Kerameri mandals worst affected. Livestock sent to Bela mandal where the Penganga flows along the border. The cattle will be camping in village on the banks of the Penganga River for next two months. About 300 water troughs created have become useless in Adilabad district. About 170 tons of fodder seed, half of it made available free and remaining subsidized. As many as 500 acres of fodder plots developed under MBEGS.

INTERNET REPORT FROM INDIA

About 8 to 10 users fail to do internet for more than 24 hours. Average Indian stays connected to Internet by about 8.4 hours a day. 12.9 hours a week online users spend a week browsing the Web about 9.7 hours a week on social network and 6.1 hours a week checking emails. Leading Edge firm quotes 48% women and 52% men used Internet in February with a sample size of 500 of age group 18-64. An average of 2.8 devices for person is used. About 40% said their financial information as most important. About 35% persons valued their online accounts including email and social network information.

Telltale Story

The April 3, 2012 Proc. Nat. Acad. of Sciences of America published burned sediments and bone fragments in wonderwork cave in Northern Cape province SA, with excellent preservation of Ash material and angular shaped bone fragments. Using, Micro-morphology, Molecular Analytical techniques heat-treated (transformation) to identify clay minerals and bones. Another cave sample gave data of discoloration black, grey, and white suggesting bone fragments heated, resulting in charring and calcinations at more than 400degC. Bushes and grass used as the fuel to generate the combustion. Fire used about one million years ago by humans. See the figure given in Fig.3.

Rain in Andhra Pradesh

From Vidarbha via Telangan, Rayalseem and to South Madras State weak upper trough has brought in heavy hailstorm rain in Karimnagar. On Wednesday 11 April 2012, Boyinapalli, Gangadhara Mandal and Metapalli town and many villages many crops were affected due to eduru winds and untimely rain over 200 acres of Rice, 90 acres of mango cultivation. Due to this 50lakhs of Rupees, loss was registered. In the yards the yellow powder brought for sale and kept in the yards especially in Metapalli market, were affected to the tune of about a loss of one 600 quintals out of a crore of rupees 30 thousand quintals total yellow powder crop. Because of this, about 12 lakh rupees were lost. However, the weather has registered a rise in temperature in Nizambad 42 Ramgundem, Tirupathi, and Kurnool about 41, Hyderabad and Anantpuram about 40 deg C was registered. There were rains in Visakhapatnam from Thursday 5 April 2012 resulting in the high temperatures and in Agency area Thunder showers, Lightning, Thunder Bolts and Hail stones rain destroyed Mammidi, Cashew nut crops, Banana, and Tamrind cultivation. In Paderu, Araku, Chintapalli, Anatagiri and G. Madugula and other areas received Hailstorms. In Srikakulum district due to winds there was loss of crops and in the evening of 6th Thursday April 2012 the rain was heavy. Meliyalliputti Hail storm was devasting. Pathpatnam there was moderate rain. Seethampeta, Bhamini and Tekkali mandals experienced slight rain. Vizianagaram Zilla and Salur peta there was moderate rain. By evening at 3.00pm, the weather became cool and there were rains. However, in Visakhapatnam, it rained in the Morning with strong winds from 3AM and on Friday 6 April 2012, it showered Hailstones in several places, with heavy winds a bit unusual in the city. The wind speed was about 80km and in the evening at several places for about 20m, the Hails have fallen. In Vijayawada National Highway the Hailstones accumulated and in Salur about 500 acres, Makkuva Mandal about 200 acres and in Pachipenta palem 300 acres banana crop fell down considerably. In Nalgonda Zilla Bhuvangiri, Mandal Veeravalli village had heavy Hailstorm with winds. The crop about to come for a cutting has fallen down in about 150acres of land in Veeravalli. The Mahbuboobanagar Zilla Kothur nagar, Midgel and Nagarkurnool and in Medak district Nangunur and other palces Mango crop were damaged. On Friday at Chintapalli, it rained about 4cms.

The effect of brown cloud and valiant gales of the wind seems to be a phenomenon. Cumulonimbus clouds form in the months of June and May but their formation in month of April seems to be a peculiarity that is occurring around a height of 8kms in the sky. Due to the Sunstroke, two people died on Saturday ramulamma 65tears old and each one in Warangle and at Karimnagar. On Sunday morning, ippalgudem Gazzal Soshakka aged 45 died due to sunstroke. Due to Thunderbolt Mahaboobunagar zilla, two people died on Sunday evening PG student Ramesh who took shelter under a tree and Thadur mandal Cherlaitkyalaku ryte Suryapakala chandrayya 42 died due to sunstroke while working in the farmland.

Rain showers would continue with gales in Uttar coastal Andhra until Monday night in Visakhapatnam from east Uttar Pradesh via Madhya Pradesh, Vidharba, Telangana, and Uttar Karnataka passing over South Tamil Nadu. Rains occurred in Hyderabad on Sunday night with thundershowers and accordingly it is raining in Orissa, West Bengal, Chattisgad, Jharkhand, and in Eastern states. Nadendla Parvatigiri area Cotton crop has not yielded crop, so two ryots killed themselves due to unbearable loans.

SUN

The Methane of the Sea is not responsible for the heat of the Earth as for a new study from USA.About 5.5 Crores of years the Earth orbit changes have brought the temperature rise of about five deg C as per the acidic rock manifested stones. Afterwards it reduced. Again, for twice this has happened. Since the Pole, places overheated by about a temperature that melted the snow due to time dependent changes on filling up of the material of the snow. As a result, heavy carbon dioxide released as per the scientist. The Methane released was not concomitant with the increased temperature changes of the environment. The temperatures sustained for about 10,000years as per Yale University scientist Mark.

Sun heat recorded as 42 deg C in Nizambad and in Telangana, it has recorded more than 3degC temperature.

The India Entrepreneurs feat

The Indian students have demonstrated the vehicle that would drive simply by air in April 2012. The vehicle carries a tank pressurized with air that reaches a pneumatic system, achieves about 30kms, drives for about 10kms, and bears a load of 120 Kg. The design is by Ushakiran and Nandakumar from Vellore Chennai.

IMAGES AND FINDINGS

The important finding made by the author is that Gravity Waves observed to passby Visakhapatnam during the few days of 6th to 8th April 2012. The rains termed as Cumulonimbus clouds occurring up in the sky need to be careful gauged to understand the existence of Gravity Waves. The observation would certainly completely modify the views expressed by some scientists of weather observations at Visakhapatnam. The distance of about 8kms need to be gauged and ascertained since the Gravity Wave occurrence is a study not much reported or analyzed in India. See all my previous publications.

On 9 April 2012, the Sky at Visakhapatnam overcast with clouds and distant gloomy scenario that prevented record of any star.

SANSKRIT

An important news item that does not find a prominent place in India newspapers is the fact that Sanskrit Language being much neglected. “Adarsha Educational Institutes” in the coming month are to appoint Bhasa Pundits but Sanskrit language, eliminated and this noticed by some Sanskrit Pundits as a grave mismatch of Language preferences. Mr. Sadana Narasimhachari from Alwal in Secunderabad has lodged a protest. Prime Minister P V Narsimha Rao has initiated a Sanskrit school in Tirupati.

Monsoon Rain Movement

The author is lucky to capture the movement of Monsoon rain clouds via Visakhapatnam from the South-West to Northeast and a single photo No.8 shows the white cloud moving gracefully. It dates from 9 April 2012 and until the late evening of 11 April 2012. The mass movement of clouds throughout the night and day time is amazing over several days. The Gravity waves detected on 8 April 2012 around 4.30 and 4.31PM. Similar waves observed on 12 April 2012 on morning around 8.30hours and 8h31mAM.
 

The surprising thing that the rain lashed at Visakhapatnam between 2h15m to 4h15mPM on the Friday 13 April 2012 and the movement of clouds observed as being towards the Araku Valley area, since the clouds happened to be very low lying and extremely dense. The movement of clouds opposite to that of the observations made on the previous days i.e., from 8 to 12 April 2012.

Earth Quake in Indonesia Sumatra &
Tremors in Coastal India

Earthquake twice struck Indonesia Sumatra Islands around India Time 2.08h of Indonesia time around Wednesday 11 April 2012 afternoon with several as many as seven quakes in different parts of the country. The intensities ranged from 8.5 to 8.2 on Richter scale. About 29 countries alerted. A light Tsunami struck around 2.15p.m and was withdrawn around 6.00pm. 80cms wave moved on to Ache province, with no loss of life or otherwise, but Banda Ache people felt the tsunami for about 5 minutes. People in Bharat, Sri Lanka, Australia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia people ran for shelter.

Many coastal cities recorded the earthquake from 2.00pm to 2.5pm on 11 April 2012. The sea waves rose from 10cms to 45cms and the oceans have incursions into land by about some meters.

Author’s great success is the record of Gravity Waves both at the beginning of the Earthquake and again at its end on 12 April 2012. One important thing to notice is that the Gravity Waves precede the Earth Tremors miles away.

Some earthquakes list is as follows. In Russia 9R 4 Nov 1952, no deaths reported. 8.8R Chile 27th February 2010, 600 died. 8.8R Ecuador 31 January 1906 more than 1000people died. 8.7R Alaska America 4 February 1965 no deaths reported. 8.6R Sumatra, Indonesia 28 March 2005 about 1300 died. 8.6R Tibet 15 August 1950 about 780 died. 8.6R Sumatra Indonesia 11 April 2012.

The author is lucky to record an unusual cloud movement and Gravity Waves on the 12th April 2012 morning around 9AM. He has photographed it. See photo frame No.9 below. There was a heavy rain Kurnool on Wednesday 11 April 2912 with gales.

A BRIEF REPORT OF RAIN

Vizag: Midday from 2 to 2.30pm the big houses vibrated. Again in the evening around 4.30pm similar earthquakes felt. Krishna Zilla: Vijayawada afternoon from 2.21pm to 4.20pm earth has tremor three times. Srikakulum: at 2.20pm tremors felt school closed. Vambay colony felt the most with cracks in the house walls. Nellore Zilla: Chillkur, Kota, Kavali, Aluru, Bunderpeta, and Vakadu bay of Bengal sea waves very excessive. The staff at the Space research centre ran for safety. Prakasam Zilla: Ongole for about 30secs the earth tremor felt. Sea at around 5.30pm the waves were intense. East Godavari Dist: Kakinada devadaya branch walls felt cracks. Uppada and Anthrvedi sea waves were very intense. Vijayanagara Zilla: Slight earth tremors. Tirupati: From 2 to 4pm twice the small vibrations were felt. However, they lasted for 4-5secs. Srikalahasti and Renigunta the tremors were felt when people ran onto the roads. Guntur Zilla: Tenali, Guntur, Amaravathi, Bapatla and Tadepalligudem midday around 2.15pm the tremors felt. Bapatla mandalam krupanagar and adavipallepalam about 100 fishermen caught in the Sea. West Godavari Zilla: Eluru, Talapudi, Jangareddigudem and Palakol areas felt mild tremor. In Narsapur mandal, the peddaminivasalanka (the Salt lakes) upputeru farms inundated with seawater. Mogultur people took precaution. Traverse waves felt faraway places produced due to the surface waves of Earth Tremor causes a lateral movement of particles in the Earth’s medium. It’s thought as a strike-slip the fractured crust slides past each other laterally with movement a few meters apart. In addition, the 7.2R Earth tremor at 20.5kms from surface off the West Coast of North Sumatra was also due to strike-fault. The first of 8.6R (corrected by NASA) followed by 6.6R and 8.2R as well on the 11 April 2012. The second transverse wave occurred at 4h13m. This type of Earthquakes does not produce vertical Tsunami. Two multi-storied buildings in Kolkata came very close on Wednesday. Kolkata recorded first at 2.17pm after 9minutes the quake has hit the city.

Plant Material

These, especially corns do send sound signals and use volatile chemicals to communicate with each other. Regular clicking occurs at 220Hz. Mr. Gagliama of WNA. USA should be complemented of this research. Mr. Jagadish Chandra Bose from Kolkata, a contemporary of Bose (particles fame) already researched on a report of this kind in India and published it against people who do not eat meat.

Cooling an Electronic Device

NC state university scientists have discovered that copper-graphene composite attached as a thin film to an electronic device using also the Indium-Graphene interface would cool the device.

Award

Mr. Siddhartha Kaur MBBS from BJ Medical College, Pune was awarded a prize by a Computer Specialist to do Ph.D., on genetic epidemiology of Cancer in public health division and primary care on the World famous Specialist Gates University of Cambridge Scholarship.

An observation
The weather in Visakhapatnam was phenomenal during this month of April 2012 in the sense that heavy cloud movements occurred during the occurrence of the Earthquake in Sumatra Island and on the Friday 13, April 2012 the Sun was very intense since the morning. While, on the evening of 12th April 2012 there was a heavy cloud show overcastting the sky at Visakhapatnam that continued till late night but with no shower at all. The 13 April 2012 started with a big bang of sun’s heat I thought weather has changed. All of a sudden around 2.15PM, the heavy clouds and thunder took over the sky and there was lot of lightning.
THURSDAY MEXICO EARTHQUAKE

There was an earthquake in Mexico in Michovakyan state about 65km deep and at 7.0R intensity as per Geological Survey of USA. In a month, this is one of the third Earthquakes to recur in Mexico.

KERALA STATE

Dhanikudam city in the Kerala State of India experienced an Earthquake of moderate intensity of 3.2R.

Varieties of Seeds Display

Paatha Vittanala Pandage an exhibition of age-old varieties of seed, rice, pulses, millets and fruits, organized in the village Killoguda 7kms away from Araku valley, Visakhapatnam District. Girijan farmers preserve the quality of seed for generation. They organize a festival annually on the 11 April.

What surprised me most is that the Agency area has shifted from Araku Valley to about 7kms away to the interiors of the India land. What I want is that protection of the agency rights to all the backward areas even before the well to do and cunning people occupy these lands and convert them as urban areas or as sightseeing vandalism.

Earthquake in Maharashtra and Gujarat Latest
Mumbai reported that Western Maharashtra State, Konkani and neighboring regions of Mumbai have felt slight Earthquake vibrations on Saturday 14 April 2012 at 10.30AM with in Western Maharashtra State the intensity as 5R. The Shutters and Buildings have swung due to the Earthquake. Koyana Dam about 10Kms away Goshtwadi village after an hour at 11h50m another quake of 4.4R recorded. Quake affect felt at Mumbai several parts and in Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Pune, Ratnagiri, Sindudurga zillas. In Gujarat, various places experienced at 8h55m on 4.1R magnitude earthquake felt with the epicenter located at Kutch region. Afterwards the 2.9R quakes felt. The atomic nuclear research centers and NPCIL etc found to be safe.

HEAVY RAINS IN HIMACHAL PRADESH
In Shimla and several places, adjoining on Saturday there was heavy rain. In the mountains, it there was snow. Saloni, Mandi and Dharmasala felt heavy rain. The Girijan lands of Kinnouri and Lohallal snow has fallen.

SIGNIFICANCE

Significant findings of the Gravity Waves existence over the first fortnight of  April 2012 is very fascinating. Unfortunately these are coupled with the Earthquakes happenings over the India Continent. Many photos obtained by me are worth studying further to know the pattern and system of the Gravity Waves occurrence. I wish the people who undertake this work would acknowledge me.

CONCLUSIONS

There was an earthquake in Mexico in Michovakyan state about 65km deep and at 7.0R intensity as per Geological Survey of USA. In a month, this is one of the third Earthquakes to recur in Mexico. The 13 April 2012 started with a big bang of sun’s heat I thought weather has changed. All of a sudden around 2.15PM, the heavy clouds and thunder took over the sky and there was lot of lightning. Author’s great success is the record of Gravity Waves both at the beginning of the Earthquake and again at its end on 12 April 2012. One important thing to notice is that the Gravity Waves precede the Earth Tremors miles away. Many coastal cities recorded the earthquake from 2.00pm to 2.5pm on 11 April 2012. The sea waves rose from 10cms to 45cms and the oceans have incursions into land by about some meters.
