JUNE 2014 Weather Report and
the News Significant
ABSTRACT
Three 1000 year old
statues smuggled out of Cambodia in 1970 after hacking off from their bases,
during a civil war, being returned away from auction
houses, from USA. “Rohini Karthe” from 25 May morning up to 6p.m on June 7, 2014
gave an intense heat wave in Andhra region in spite of the one hour heavy
showers on 1 June and on 3 June evenings that only added to the sweltering
heat. “Mrigashirarasi” from morning 3AM on 9 June gave a respite from the
scorching Sun. But from 10 June to 14 June the scorching Sun troubled people
and on 15 June morning there was no supply of Curd in the milk booths at
Maharanipeta, though the day was cloudy but no rain. The swirling pattern in
the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) caused by gravitational waves and detected by the
BICEP2 telescope. PSLV launched on 30 June around 9h52m A.M. Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle–C2 almost 44.4meters tall dedicated as gift from India to our
neighborhood that launched five satellites one each from France, Germany and
Singapore and two from Canada. Around 20 minute launch mission turned to be a
good success. Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi watched the launch. He praised
the cost-effective launch and complimented our Indian Space Program.
INTRODUCTION
BRAIN INSIDE THE SKULL
Several thousand
basic tasks of conscious and subconscious brain life proceed all under the
coordinated control effort of roughly 86billion neurons and an equal number of
governing cells all inside the human skull. Genetic activity points to the
wiring among the neurons rather than genetic activity within the cells.
Combined Solar Devices
Carbon nanotubes
absorb sunlight which converts the entire solar spectrum to heat. This heat
then flows into a photonic crystal made up of silicon and silicon dioxide. When
it achieves 10000C it begins to glow, emitting photons of a
wavelength that exist matched with the photovoltaic cell kept below generating
electricity. Process of light into heat and then back heat into light is a
novel step but it needs to achieve sufficient efficiency.
Higgs Particles decay to Fermions
Direct decay of 125GeV
Higgs boson into fermions, such as pairs of W, Z and photons, declared in
Nature Physics on line. Website note of ATLAS also reported a similar
observation. Higgs gives coupling by decay fermions, in addition to the weak
gauge bosons. Higgs going into tau-anti-tau and as well into b--anti-b has been
thought. The Standard model fails to explain why the Higgs Boson mass is light
enough to have been observed at the LHC.
MIGRATORY BUTTERFLIES’
The North
American yellow-and-black monarch butterfly migrates every winter from Southern
Canada to Mexico in search of milkweed to lay eggs, and it is now found, Nature
Communications, that like many birds and sea turtles are aided by inclination geo-magnetic
compass. Proteins called CRY in the butterflies’ antennas that activate this
inclination when UV fell on it.
CAR HEAD LIGHTS
R8
LMX car model uses lasers and a video camera. Once the car is above 37mph speed
the integrated system keeps a watch on the road and monitors.
COLLISION THEORY-
CREATION OF MOON
German scientists claim that a massive collision between Earth
and a planet, given a name “theia”, created Moon some 4.5Million years ago.
Studying rock samples from Moon they found a distinct chemical signature of the
original planet-sized object. It centered on measuring the ratios of isotopes
of oxygen, titanium, silicon and others. They contradicted the existing
theoretical models and hence the new theory.
Noctilucent Clouds
The first Noctilucent
Clouds (NLCs) of the northern season were noticed on May 24th before
sunrise the telltale electric-blue ripples over
Kiel. Ground-level sightings
followed soon thereafter--first on May 30th and then on June 3rd in
Germany.
Harvest of Solar Energy
Rare phenomenon of a
chemical reaction responsible for propelling microscopic crystals to leap
distances up to hundred times, of their own size, when exposed to Ultra Violet
light has been suggested as a possible harvest of Solar Energy.
ASTRONMERS DISCOVER ROCKY EARTH
It weighs about
17 times Earth, termed Kepler 10c circles about its Sun in about 45 days. It is
situated about 560Ly away in constellation Draco. It has positive indications
of life!
METAL MEDICINE
Constitution of body is
studied before administering the drug. Rasa Medicine (a branch of Ayurveda)
treatments are affordable compared to Ayurveda. 12 metals are used which include Iron, Zinc, Lead, Tin,
Mercury, Brass and Bronze plus minerals and gems plus corals like conch shells,
pearls, oyster and toxic herbs says mother, Dr.K.P.Krishanaprabha, of the
Doctor Shaslkumar Nechiyil. (Graduated from Kottakkal Ayurveda College, Kerala)
The bhasmams are purified and metals and minerals are used in minute dosages. Karalmanna in Palakkad district with a 300
meter walk down a Main road has the Siddesitionalwara
Drugs. Leela purifies mercury in a traditional stone grinder, Safiya makes
Vanga bhasmam, deft hands of women beside her prepare Kaseesa bhasmam, with
bright blue flames in a corner worker Manikandan says we are producing
Sidhamakaradwajam which cures neurological complaints. (News in Sunday express

METAL FROM SPACE
Devandhra
Mewari (dmewari@yahoo.com) (2014, p.28 June Dream 2047) observed in Hindi writing that 15000 years ago a meteorite fell in
Chinga river valley at the border of Siberia and Mongolia and a statue of Buddha
about 24cm high and weighing 10.6Kg was made around 1000 years ago in Tibet. They
called the “Iron Man”. See Fig. A. This statue was seized by Ernest Schafer
(who travelled the Himalayan land to know the origin of the Aryan race) prior
to Second World War, from Tibet and reached Germany. The statue is made of iron
and nickel and has a Swastika mark. Below the belt there was a dagger. In 2007 it was put on auction and it disappeared from view.
There is a verse in Athar-Veda praying for protection from
meteorites and meteors.

EARTH’S LARGEST WATER RESERVOIR
It exists 643km
in a mantle rock, underneath North America. May not be in familiar liquid water
form but its ingredients are bound up in the rocks. Plate tectonics possibly
hold the water to exist at such great depths.
Rotorua in New Zealand
Geo-thermally heated pools, pink and white terraces of
Rotorua in Taupo Volcanic zone and (stone) jade, mineral rich mud offers a
glorious spa experience in this country. Terraces protecting the pools were
razed down in 1886 with Mount Tarawera eruption, but the water retained its
potential medicinal value to cure skin and joint conditions. Smoking geysers
spouting steam at will but you can take home the magical water, packaged mud in
the form of soaps, scrubs, bath salts, and mud packs etc. Scientific activity
to wow at supervised public and private baths to “ahhh” about them. Each bath
contains 70kgs of rich geo-thermal mud a little smoothed over your body while
people soak in the pool. After 20 minutes in mud, a dip in sulfur rich water in
an adjacent bath. Smell of sulfur is strong but doesn’t affect you. Temperature
is 400C that help skin spores to open up, and facilitates
exfoliation. Locals are the Mori Tribe flourishing in the process.
OBSERVATIONS
CAMBODIA RECEIVED 1000YR STATUES
Three 1000 year
old statues smuggled out of Cambodia in 1970 after hacking off from their bases, during a civil war,
being returned away from auction houses, from USA.

in civil war of 1970 Cambodia.
The Visakhapatnam
The Visakhapatnam received
its first one hour rain with thunder and lightning on 1 June 2014 evening
around 5h30PM. Again there was a rain on the 3rd night but lasted
few minutes only. In spite of the rains the heat of the summer season extended
to 20 days of June month is formidable.
Monsoon shifted towards
sea instead of land, resulting in the hot weather in Visakhapatnam, with the
monsoon should strike on 9 June but not certain till to-day 24 June. No
rainfall in the nine coastal districts of AP.
MONSOON PROGRESS & NORTH HEAT
WAVES
Monsoon to hit
Kerala on the Friday 6, June 2014, and may set over Tamil Nadu and Bay of
Bengal during the next 24 hours. Jaipur hottest in 33 years at 46.30C,
Allahabad at 46.10C and Delhi touched 44.70C. Heat wave
is gripping north. Faizabad, Lucknow, Bareilly, Moradabad, Jhansi, Agra and
Meerut divisions are reeling under heat wave. It continued unabated with
temperatures of 48.20C in Uttar Pradesh Bandah district on Wednesday
11 June, 47.30C in Agra, and Delhi at 43.60C.
NORTH INDIA HEAT
WAVE
Capital reached the 470C mark and climbing the
highest since 200m. Palam Airport recorded 47.20C on Friday and heat
wave soaring between 46 to 48.40C all over north in Patiala,
Haryana, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Allahabad. The May 30 storm damaged in the
North, several Electric poles resulting in Power cuts are over 7 to 8 hours a
day.
ROHINI KARTHE
The evening of Saturday June 07, 2014 gave a relief of the intense
Sun’s heat of the period from 25 May to June 07, 2014. The period is regarded
in Hindu Astronomy as a ROHINI KARTHE of (about 15 days) the hottest days of
the year. It ended with the beginning of Mrigashira Rasi at that time. June 8
(Birth Day of Late Kotcherlakota Amarnath B. Sc. (Special, Physics) B.
E.(Civil) M. Tech (Soil Mechanics) father of Dr. K. Suhasini, Assistant
Professor in USA) is relatively cool and nice. In the evening of 8 June it was
scorching heat till late night.
Mrigashira
Rasi
Mrigashira Rasi brought the rains and on June 9 at 3AM the heavy
monsoon rain struck Visakhapatnam and it rained with lightning and heavy
thunders up to 4.30AM. Up to night the cloudy rainy weather continued with no
Sun light at all during the day.
The Hot
Days
Formation of a cyclonic storm Nanauk in Arabian Sea and moved
luckily to Oman coast. The southwest
monsoon was rendered inactive due this cyclone. So, on 10 June 2014 the SUN’S heat has been
felt with the full Sunshine throughout the day, except for two hours in the
evening when cold breeze delighted the people. 11 June began with cloudy
weather in the morning but the blazing sun began by 8AM it subsided in the
evening around 6.PM. The Sunny days would be for another three days till Friday
13 June when Monsoon rains may reach Visakhapatnam. The 12 June heat wave
started around 10.AM and unbearably hot it was. Scorching summer Waltair,
Visakhapatnam recorded 40.40C the highest in three years. The
humidity was lowest at 47% due less moisture content. 13 June early morning was
pleasant with the clouds and cool weather. Prediction of Monsoon was not that
much promising since the night rain was just a shower on the 12 June. On the 14
June to 16 June there was no respite from Sun’s heat.
FINALLY
RAINS.
On 15 June 2014 there was a heavy blowing gales rain that made
even motorists to stop. It rained an hour from 2h30mPM from Zoo area up to
Madhurwada in Visakhapatnam but as soon it stopped the Sun shown brighter and
weather became sultry.
17 June till 3PM it was very hot though cloudy and for about an
hour around 3 to 4 PM it rained heavily with thunder and lightning. It cooled
the city in Maharanipeta area. Also on 18 June the morning is very cloudy. By
afternoon it became very hot and on the 19 June the hot weather prevailed
though the sky was relatively cloudy.
Rituals
for Rain performed
Simhachalam hills V.L.N. Swamy temple rituals were performed on
Thursday 19 June to appease the rain Gods and indeed there was rain in the
evening around 5h.30m PM for an hour with 0.5mm rain. The program of rituals
would continue till 21 June. Dark clouds covered both Telangana and Andhra
region on Thursday. But, the major
cities Vijayawada, Tirupati and Nellore continue to be under grip of heat wave
with temperatures around 400C. 20 and 21 June it was relatively hot.
The weather in Visakhapatnam was a
rainy day on June 22, 2014 with a slight rain in the morning from 3 AM to 4 AM
but till 11 A M it was all cloudy and fine weather.
The Tirupati devasthanam did three
days puja for rain and of course, it rained on Thursday 26 June.
HEAT WAVE
IN ANDHRA
Fig.3. Heat Wave in AP 12 June to 19 June 2014
Up to 5h30mPM on Monday 23 June the temperatures at Kakinada
41.2, Nellore 40, Vijayawada 40.3, Machilipatnam 41.3 and Ongole 40.5 were
recorded. Surprisingly four Rayalaseema
districts including Kadapa, Ongole, Kurnool and Anantapur received from June 1
to 23 a rainfall of 55.3mm as against average of 45.8mm. Last week they
recorded only 2.7mm instead of 18mm. June 15 to June 20 the district Srikakulam
registered maximum temperature of 420C. Rs 1L compensation paid for
heat stroke deaths in Srikakulam.
For the last two weeks the heat wave conditions exist in AP.
Schools closed on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 also. Visakhapatnam became cool
on Thursday 26 with cloudy weather but no rain. 18 deaths total due to heat in
Visakhapatnam. Death toll in Srikakulam was 38. Vijayanagaram death toll is
127. EG district recorded 5 deaths. Guntur
no respite from heat wave and rain fall for June was 94%below normal. Death
toll was 79. Prakasam district recorded 42 degrees temperature and in Chittoor
and Nellore schools functioned normally since temperature were normal.
26 June and 27 June happen to be sensational cool days with cloudy
weather throughout the day in Visakhapatnam and people also enjoyed the beach
shore. Upper air cyclonic trough in the North Bay of Bengal lowered
temperatures and would continue next 24 hours on Thursday. In the night it
rained in Visakhapatnam. But 27 June afternoon it became pretty hot though
weather was cloudy till late night. Cold weather conditions and rain prevailed
in the state on Friday and expected that from July 1, under the influence of
Monsoon. Incessant rain havoc in Guwahati, Assam state, with 8 killed on Friday
27 June. The 28 June in Visakhapatnam
was very cloudy but no rain. In the evening it was a very pleasant weather. The
28 June in Visakhapatnam was very cloudy but no rain. In the evening it was a
very pleasant weather.

29 June was partially cloudy weather with no rain. A powerful
Earthquake struck oat far South Atlantic Ocean in the inhospitable South
Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) which in turn is part of a British overseas territory. region around
0752GMT 5:52 a.m. local time. 30 June began with
cold cloud covered sky in Visakhapatnam till late night. Weather is pleasant to
freely move around in the city.
Department of Conservation staff on Raoul Island have
escaped uninjured following a magnitude 7.2 earthquake off the coast of the
island this morning. The earthquake was 5km deep and occurred around 7.20am,
73km southeast of Raoul Island, according to the US Geological Survey. Raoul
Island is part of the Kermadec Island arc, which sits around 800-1000km off the
coast of the North Island.
The National rainfall average was deficient by 42% in June in
India according to Skymet, a private forecasting agency, making it 12th
instance in last 113 years.
El Nino’s Complex
Link
How El Nino shapes up and it’s
forecasting still remains a challenging problem. The interplay between Monsoon
and El Nino not clearly understood. It is not as yet clear to-date what sort of
El Nino would evolve whether Central or Eastern Pacific. Indian Ocean Dipole
(IOD) when positive affects the Eastern equatorial Indian Ocean off Sumatra in
Indonesia becomes colder while western tropical part of Ocean near Africa coast
becomes Warmer. A negative IOD reverses and hampers the monsoon. Forecasting monsoon without depending on
predictability of El Nino is important. Some people in Andhra believe that till
the Radha-Sapthami Day, 29 June 2014 the Monsoon would be lingering.

Finding Gravitational Waves – a misnomer
Harvard Group at BICEP2 telescope
observed a twist in the polarization of ancient light according to David
Spergel this twist is due to the dust present in the Milky-Way and outside it.
This ultra-fine dust can absorb star light and re-emit it as “Infra-Red rays or as Radio-Waves” and
due to their uneven shape could twist the light. The same effect of twisting the polarization of light
can be produced due to when light curves around massive objects.
Colliding Plasma
regions
These may have same density, temperature and strengths of
magnetic fields, but with different orientations, then symmetrical reconnection
begins and the topology of magnetic field changes. These observations of the
Sun seem to be new.
GEO-THERMAL HEAT
This is the cause of Thwaites Glacier the rapidly
changing outlet of Antarctic Ice Sheet, is being eroded by the Ocean, and now
newly found from below by Geo-thermal heat.
Haruko Obokata
She believes (June 3) that the breakthrough research of a
new way of reversing the adult cells into pluripotent stem cells using slightly
acidic conditions as a stressor. The STAP cells had the ability to form both
embryonic and placental tissues. The authenticity of STAP cells was questioned.
Also Japanese media opposed the observations. Plagiarism and duplication of
images and inability of others to replicate the study findings became a big
issue. The research work in two papers given to the Nature was withdrawn.
ROMAN COINS FOUND KOTTAYAM
The Roman Silver small-minted minted coins, each 3.7gms and about 2cm
in diameter, identified as Denarius of Augustus, and other as of Denarius of
Tiberius, more than 2000 years old recovered. And many precious artifacts as
palm leaves of texts on Ayurveda, a few Chola coins, and more than 1200 Chinese
coins dating from 1 to 15 century were recovered in Kerala. North Paravoor
resident mining the Periyar river bed found a golden vase with a long neck
weighing seven sovereigns but he took to a jeweler melted it and made a gold
chain for his wife. Only UK British
Museum that launched a Portable Antiquities Scheme in 1997 in Kerala and Tamil
Nadu seem to be successful.
THREE ICE HALOS
On June
21st, Jun Lao of Mason, Ohio, saw three "ice halos," at once
they formed when sunlight shown
through ice crystals in high clouds around 4 P.M. EDT in the greater Cincinnati
area. These multiple halos were caused by pyramidal ice crystals.

INDUS
VALLEY CIVILIZATION
The
first urban civilization in the world that flourished, in the north-western
part, in the vast plains of River Indus, and its tributaries thrived from
2600BC to 1900BC with a population of five million with well developed cities,
sewage systems, metallurgy techniques, trade system, and many other
mathematical and technical successes and a script that couldn’t be deciphered.
Climate change as per researchers at BHU and Univ. of Cambridge revealed that
series of droughts over 200 years, resulting in sudden disappearance of
civilization in 1800BC to 1700BC.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The author is greatly indebted to Late Prof K. R. Rao, D.Sc.
(Madras) D.Sc. (London) for his continuous zeal in promoting the outstanding
research work at Andhra University, Waltair covering the entire
Electromagnetism Spectrum from Cosmic Rays to the Radio waves during the years
(1932 - 1972) of his unselfish and devoted research in several branches and
exceptional devotion in care-taking the youngsters to achieve glory and
comfortable positions at several institutions in India and especially abroad.
It was his initiation and support that the Andhra University
launched Space Physics studies as soon the first Russian Rocket launch of human
being went up in the Sky.
