ABSTRACT
HUDHUD effect felt in Amarkantak too on the 11th
Oct around 7h30mPM but severity was on early morning of 14th, an old tree at a
Park at Kosa centre uprooted in ward no.10, many roads blocked due to fallen
trees. City Panchayat staff swung into action to clear the roads. High velocity
winds with heavy rainfall lashed the area for entire 24hours. Dense fog was witnessed on the early morning
with many trees uprooted the town gripped in Darkness for hours after oak trees
at Shree Kalyan Sewa Ashram fell down on the main supply lines. Dr. Lalitha
Kumari MD (USA) was forewarned most surprisingly, by a group of monkeys on the evening, around 3PM to 5h30mPM on the
11th Oct 2014 and she bewildered what they want to communicate
banging her door and she really was alarmed. HUDHUD effect is a phenomenal purely gusty circulating winds, with
little rain and with a graceful movement. It knocked out all big trees that
made Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram and Srikakulam as a tree less area. It is
a circulation different from the concept of earlier circulation theories, in
spite it originated in Pacific Ocean. It
travelled 2600km including 1150km on land about eight days of its life from
Oct.6th. In East Uttarpradesh over land it dissipated on Land.
Copper plates with inscriptions in a dialect of
Malayalam, that were in custody of the Kovilakom for centuries since 775AD, as
they contained details of the land owned by the family. The plates, each
14-inch long and with a width of two inches, together weighed around two kg,
handed over to the State Archaeological Department. Japan plans to start the
Nuclear Plants that were disabled due to super-tsunami cyclones and earthquakes
impact. A swarm of earthquakes in a sparsely populated area of far northwest
Nevada that began on July 12, 2014, has increased in intensity over the past
several days. A charity in Delhi runs a programme for visually challenged
people they collect flowers from outside temples, which are turned into paint
and then sold for a profit.

My mother
Late Srimathi Kotcherlakota Peramma (Rangadhama Rao) always purchased the Banaras
saris for the occasions of important events at home in Narasimha Ashram. She
was a very religious mother, of the family and observed with utmost dedication
the Sivarathri and Karthika
Pournuima very devotedly.
Dr. D B R K Murthy, (Mobil No.09440127724)
was quite cordial and showed me just two pieces of equipment of Prof. K R Rao.
He narrated his struggle to safe guard the place of Prof. K. R. Rao’s research
work in the downstairs room and also the entire optical laboratory, with three
‘dark’ very big rooms, used for his dedicated optical and spectroscopy
experiments.
INTRODUCTION
UNBELIEVABLE HAPPENING
HUDHUD effect felt in Amarkantak too, on the 11th
Oct evening from 7PM, an old tree at a Park at Kosa centre uprooted in ward
no.10, many roads blocked due to fallen trees. City Panchayat staff swung into
action to clear the roads. High velocity winds with heavy rainfall lashed the
area for entire 24hours. Dense fog was
witnessed on the early morning with many trees uprooted the town gripped in
Darkness for hours after oak trees at Shree Kalyan Sewa Ashram fell down on the
main supply lines. Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) was forewarned continuously most
surprisingly, by a group of monkeys on
the evening, around 3 PM to 5h30m PM on the 11th Oct 2014 and she
bewildered, what they want to communicate banging her door, and she really felt
alarmed. At 5h30mPM when she boarded the car, to leave Amarkantak Hilly region
residence, she found the Monkeys clapping
and jubilant. At 7h30mPM at the railway station, with no power she found
the driver of the vehicle, she travelled bewildered. The entire station, as big as the Visakhapatnam, platform was full of
people who slept the night side by side The heavy rain took over, around 7PM on
that day while traveling; she found many trees were swinging and about to fall
down. I was unable to communicate, on phone with her, for all the four days
starting from 11th. Luckily
she reached safely and boarded the train at PENDRA Station, to leave for Kasi,
around midnight around 1h15mAM or so, where at Kasi, she undertook the ceremony
of her late husband on the 13th, but on the 14th night
there also at Varanasi, she felt the HUDHUD effect. She left Varanasi on 14th
night by a train in the night at 10 O’ Clock to reach Vijayawada.

Note:
HUDHUD effect is a phenomenal purely gusty circulating winds, not hit Visakhapatnam
since last 140 years, with little rain fall, with a graceful movement,
water picked from the Bay of Bengal and is a defiant current theory of El Nino
etc build of the Sea. Strong circulating winds, of a massive and huge uplift,
caused evaporation and a loss of latent heat from the Bay of Bengal. Its circulation different from
the concept of earlier circulation theories, in spite it originated in Pacific Ocean. Its path in India was intriguing since it
struck Visakhapatnam coast, a rare phenomenon, and it moved over to Nepal via
Amarkantak (11th), Varanasi (14th) and Bihar state. It knocked out all big trees that
made Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram and Srikakulam as a tree less area. All the
communication towers have fallen down together with many blown out electric
poles and wires scattered over roads. It travelled 2600km including 1150km on
land about eight days of its life from Oct.6th. In East Uttarpradesh over land
it dissipated on Land. It caused 40cm of
rain recorded in Visakhapatnam Airport,
Waltair recorded only 20cm rain, and Elamanchaili recorded 47cm highest. Trees that withstood the gales are
the neem, jamuna and neradu. The Badam
tree the first developed its leaves within just five days.
DEVI NAVARATHRI PUJA 2014
Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD, USA has been visiting Amarkantak
since 2005, for the Navarathri celebrations and for performing the ancestral
obeisance. At that time there were only 500 devotees visiting but now in 2014
the number has gone to more than 1200.
At the Temple of Narmada River during the Navarathri season
of 2014, Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) performed the Shri Durga Saptashati recitation on 25th morning, of all the
700slokas of pure Sanskrit in perfect tone, to the bewilderment of local
pundits and pujarees, (whose recitations are corrupt due to Hindi innotations),
both in the morning from 6 - 10 O’clock and again in the evening from 4 - 8PM
daily, till 2nd Oct. 2014, on all the days of Navarathri in SANSKRIT
written down by her.
This year Navarathri celebrations were exceptional that
lasted, only for eight days since Dasami and Ekadashi combined as just one day
in Hindu Calendar and was performed, from 25th September to Oct. 2nd
night only.
Dr.
Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) performed, on 23rd morning Oct. 2014, from
6.30 to 8AM on the NEW MOON day, the yearly ancestral obeisance ritual, at
Narmada River, at Amarkantak, shore in the names of late Kistappa (Shri K.
Ramakrishna Rao, Chief Engineer APSEB), Simham (Dr. KVNRAO USA), Dr. Rama Leela,
Shri Amarnath (Civil Engineer P&W Andhra), Kalyani Amarnath, Rangadhama
Rao, Srimathi Peramma Rangadhama Rao, Kamala (wife of MVS Rao, father of Kalyani), Jaji Sheshachalam (sister of Dr. Krishna of
USA), and her own husband Shri Late J Murthy. She has been doing this since
2005 i.e., almost now 10 years.

MARS DATA
November
5, 2014 11:38 IST: Mars
rover Curiosity has discovered the first mineral match from the Martian
surface. The sample, which was taken from a target called “Confidence Hills”,
had more haematite content than any rock or soil sample previously found during
the two-year-old mission. The new sample is only partially oxidized and
preservation of magnetite and olivine indicates a gradient of oxidation levels.

the
Mangalyaan
At
06h57m IST the MOM being inside SOI of Mars, was falling at a speed of 4km/s.
At 7h17m AM at a height of 1,847km from surface of Mars it was falling at a
speed of 4.68km/s. With a MOI burn of main LAM, the liquid engine and eight
smaller thrusters 22N fired for 24minutes and 14sec (to attitude control) reducing
the velocity to 1098.7meters per second. At 7h46mAM after 1388.67sec the engine
shut down automatically as accelerometers sensed delta-v of 1099m/s had been
achieved. This led to place Mangalyaan
into highly elliptical orbit near point 421.7km and farthest point apoapsis at
76,993.6km, around red planet at 07h30mIST on 24 September 2014. Haze limb of
Mars photographed from altitude of 8,449km on that Day.

the nature
of dark matter and dark energy
New research offers a novel insight into the nature of dark
matter and dark energy and what the future of our Universe might be. Scientists
have found hints that dark matter, the cosmic scaffolding on which our Universe
is built, is being slowly erased, swallowed up by dark energy. Researchers in Portsmouth and Rome have found hints
that dark matter, the cosmic scaffolding on which our Universe is built, is
being slowly erased, swallowed up by dark energy. The findings appear in the
journal Physical Review Letters, published by the American Physical Society. In
the journal cosmologists at the Universities of Portsmouth and Rome, argue that
the latest astronomical data favors a dark energy that grows as it interacts
with dark matter, and this appears to be slowing the growth of structure in the
Cosmos.
POSITRON FRACTION
AMS
experiment collaboration team hinted possible existence of positrons of
magnitude 275GeV, possibly due to the annihilations involving dark matter
published in September Physical Review Letters. The other source of positrons
is the PULSARS.
NEW INK TUNED TO CHANGE COLOR
Chinese
researchers claim designing an ink that changes color from bright green to
yellow or red when exposed to ethanol vapors and can also return to original
color. Its use can thwart counterfeiters and produce colorful items of display
and utility. The Colloidal Photonic Crystals that are bleach resistant remain
very expensive.
BENGALURU Infosys technologies
The market is booming, and
proving to be very lucrative, with the industry expected to be worth an
estimated $12bn by 2015. Adam Shaw meets the founder and chairman of Infosys
technologies, an Indian company that was founded with just $250, but now has
offices in 33 countries and employs 128,000 people. Technology in India is taking off, and this is most evident in Bengaluru,
where a third of its work-force is based and expects
billion dollar business.

MODI ON BANARASI
SARIS
Assured market of Banarasi saris through quality and
technology upgrade. Modi in the November first week described weaving sector as
second only to agriculture in providing maximum employment opportunity through
low investment. There's no gap between owners and workers. They all work like a
family without discrimination on the ground of caste and community. Every
mother wishes her daughter should wear a 'Banarasi sari' on her wedding. My mother Late Srimathi Kotcherlakota
Peramma (Rangadhama Rao) always purchased the Banarasi saris for the occasions
of important events at home in Narasimha Ashram. Both her eldest son and the
third son’s marriages and as well, the three daughters had the pleasure of the
sacred silk saris from Banaras, a personal gift by the Grand Lady and the first
women representative Visakhapatnam’s Municipality.
Modi recalled how he accompanied with Ranade to Mount Abu three
days observing his perseverance for his life mission and picking up lessons. He
was such a perfectionist that at times those who worked with him found it
difficult to get his level said Modi.

STEELPLANT: SHIVA TEMPLE
The
temple contains inscriptions of 12th century A.D. and during Sivarathri and Karthika Pournuima devotees glorify it with lightning of hundreds
of lamps. Applikonda beach in this area is magnificent sea resort.
HAM RADIO: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
The HAM radio band
offers the best solution for PhoneSat, and it allows a crowd sourcing of ground
stations. Because of its low altitude, any citizen with a 70-meter band
receiver, or a snazzy new SDR setup and a license to transmit can participate
by recording the signal as the satellite passes overhead and submitting the
audio file. HAM radio was used by a lone
person on the day of cyclone HUDHUD by a military
person on the top of Kailas Giri in Visakhapatnam on the Sunday 12th
Oct, 2014.
specialist neurons: 9 November 2014
Each of the roughly
8,000 taste buds scattered over the tongue is capable of sensing the full suite
of tastes. The brain has specialist neurons for each of the five taste
categories, salty, bitter, sour, sweet
and (the savory taste of
meat) umami, US scientists have discovered. The Columbia University team showed
the separate taste sensors on the tongue had a matching partner in the brain. The cells were beautifully tuned to
discrete individual taste qualities, so you have a very nice match between the
nature of the cells in your tongue and the quality they represent [in the
brain].
They
found a "hard wired" connection between tongue and brain.
cognitive functions
Humans’ bodies contain
trillions of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Most are harmless, but the findings
of this research show that there some microbes can have a detrimental impact on
cognitive functions, while leaving individuals healthy. The study’s findings
were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
SPACE CREW RETURN AT 0358
GMT ON MONDAY AFTER 165 DAYS
A three-man
multinational crew of astronauts returned to Earth Monday aboard
a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, after spending 165 days working together at
the International Space Station. ISS commander, Russia's Maxim Surayev, his
American colleague Reid Wiseman and German Alexander Gerst from the
European Space Agency touched down at 10:58 pm Sunday (0358
GMT Monday 10 Nov. 2014). The three men smiled broadly from reclining
chairs as medical personnel tended to them amid patches of snow on the
barren steppe just northeast of Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, where they landed.
While in space the crew traveled more than 112.7 million km.
Rosetta probe
If the Rosetta probe can get into
just the right position around Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasi-menko, on
Wednesday, Nov 12, 2014 it will eject the Philae Lander on to a seven-hour
descent to the surface of the 4km-wide icy object. Panels would work, one hour
each day. A small thruster holding pressurized gas to hold lander down somewhere
in “landing Ellipse” immediately on arrival at comet’s surface didn’t operate. Two
harpoons which were to be fired on touchdown to anchor the lander also didn’t
function. It landed in a cliff shadow
after bouncing twice, to rest on the comet’s four kilometers wide body and
stable producing data that would last for 64 hours of Solar panels supply. It
landed on two legs on the comet with shadow of Sunlight that instead of
operating till March would end up in few days time. They published on Thursday
Nov.13th the first picture. Signals took 28 minutes to travel between orbiter
and Earth. Washing machine sized vehicle just weighs 1 gram on the comet.
DIGITAL RELIEF FOR
PENSIONERS
Greatest
relief to pensioners Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched on Monday November
10, 2014, The Aadhar based “DIGITAL LIFE CERTIFICATE” for pensioners with
department of electronics and IT developed software to record pensioner’s
Aadhar number and biometric data from his mobile or computer by using a
biometric reader. The data to be uploaded to the central database, on a
real-time basis that would enable access the “DIGITAL LIFE CERTIFICATE”. The software would be given to pensioners at
no extra cost that can be operated on personal computers and on smartphones.The
digital certification will do away with the requirement of a person having to
submit a physical life certificate in November each year in order to ensure
continuity of pensions credited in his account.
global temperature
Calculations reveal
that every 10C rise in global temperature, would lead to an increase
in the frequency of lightning strikes by 12%. An electromagnetic pulse occurs
every time a lightning strikes in the world. Each lightning strike produces a
powerful electrical discharge that sparks a chemical reaction and which in
turn, produces a "puff" of greenhouse gases called nitrogen oxides.
OBSERVATIONS

employed in Bangalore. Their work is very noteworthy.
CHILLY
WEATHER
The weather at Visakhapatnam was
very cloudy that covered the Sun, but with no threat of rain at all. Since
Nov.1st the Sun is under the clouds with chilly weather in the night
but occasionally suffocating, as all the trees in Visakhapatnam were damaged or
broken down. During the time from 11AM to almost 3h30mPM the Sun was dazzling
with heat in spite of the winter month of November 2014 during the days from 1
to 4.
Nov 2014 news
A set of copper plates with inscriptions
in a dialect of Malayalam, which prevailed in central Kerala about 775 years
ago, were handed over to the State Archaeological Department by the inheritors
of the Chazhoor Kovilakom at Shoranur, near
here, recently. Known in archaeological
and lexical studies as Cheppedu, these copper plates represent a year in which
Malayalam emerged independent of Tamil and Sanskrit. Most of the words inscribed on the cheppedus are still in currency in
Palakkad, Thrissur, and Malappuram districts. The plates were in custody of
the Kovilakom for centuries as they contained details of the land owned by the
family. The plates, each 14-inch long and with a width of two inches, together
weighed around two kg.

7 at 8:30 PM: The Washington Post
The Agriculture Department on Friday approved
the first genetically modified potato for commercial planting in the United
States, a move likely to draw the ire of groups opposed to artificial
manipulation of foods. The Innate potato, developed by the J.R. Simplot Co., is
engineered to contain less of a suspected human carcinogen that occurs when a
conventional potato is fried, and is also less prone to bruising during
transport.
On
Friday 7 Nov the Visakhapatnam had a full sun shine in the morning unlike the
days from 1 to 6 November.
The State government on Friday launched the
scheme for installation of grid-connected solar panels on the roofs of
residential, commercial, educational and industrial buildings. It has been
planned to generate 200 MW of solar power through the scheme.

Meteorologists at weather agency
SMHI said that Northern Sweden could expect heavy snowfall on Tuesday and
temperatures as low at -20C. The snow will hit Ångermanland, Härjedalen,
Jämtland and Västerbotten, as a low pressure system heads north. Snow is expected to hit Stockholm and other parts of
Southern Sweden late on Wednesday, Nov. 5th night, a low pressure is moving in
across Northern and Central Sweden. From Wednesday, temperatures could drop to -10oC
in Lappland, with even colder weather predicted for the northern mountain
region. This winter’s
first snow has fallen in Southern Sweden. The warning covers much of central
and Southern Sweden and says that 1 to 5 centimeters of snow could accumulate
during the day.

A swarm of earthquakes
RENO,
Nev. A swarm of earthquakes in a sparsely populated area of far northwest
Nevada that began on July 12, 2014, has increased in intensity over the past
several days. This activity is located about 40 miles southeast of Lakeview,
Ore., and 40 miles northeast of Cedarville, Calif. During the past three months
the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological
Survey and seismic networks in Washington and Oregon, has recorded 42
earthquakes larger than Magnitude 3, and about 550 earthquakes larger than
Magnitude 2. Three Magnitude 4+ events have occurred since Oct. 30, with the
largest event of the sequence, Magnitude 4.6, at 11:23 p.m., Nov. 4, 2014
(PST).`Nov 7th 178 earthquakes recorded.
Data on 9th Nov 2014
November 8, 2014 12:49 IST: Comet
flyby caused intense meteor shower on Mars:
NASA on Friday said comet Siding Spring, which buzzed past Mars on October
19, caused an intense meteor shower and added a new layer of ions, or charged
particles, to the ionosphere. The effect of the comet on the Martian atmosphere
was detected by two NASA spacecraft, including the MAVEN mission and a European
spacecraft. The numbers suggest a Martian would have seen many thousands of
shooting stars per hour, possibly enough to be called a meteor storm, so it
must have been a spectacular event that night on Mars. The comet travelled from
the most distant region of the solar system called the Oort cloud and made an
approach within 139,500km of the Red Planet. The ionosphere is an electrically
charged region in the atmosphere that extends about 120km several hundred km
above the Martian surface. They call this comet encounter an once-in-a-lifetime
event, but it is more like once-in-a-million years. Spacecraft made first direct
measurements of Oort cloud comet dust.

The
deep depression over Central Bay of Bengal remained practically stationary and
lay centered at 0300 hours UTC of Friday 7th November, 2014 over
Central Bay of Bengal near latitude 14.10 N and longitude 86.90
E, about 750km East-Southeast of Ongole, 560km Southeast of
Vishakhapatnam and 730km East-Northeast of Chennai. It would move westwards
towards the Andhra Pradesh coast and weaken gradually into depression while
reaching near the coast Nov 9.
Thunders and lightning
occurred from the night of 8th Nov to the morning 11AM on 9th
Nov. In the morning on 9th it rained with a high of 25°C. In the afternoon it
rained with a high of 26°C. It rained on this day. An upper air circulation,
with a low-pressure system, extending to 3.1km above mean sea level, on Sunday
till 5h30mPM caused Visakhapatnam to receive a rain fall of 2mm. Kalingpatnam
recorded 0.4mm, Ongole maximum of 8mm rainfall, while Machilipatnam received
only 5mm rainfall.
VIJAYANAGAR TRIP AND
MAHARAJA COLLEGE
Made
a trip to Vijayanagaram, with Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD(USA) and myself on Nov 13th,
spent two and half hours at Maharaja College CA to view the place of Late Prof
K R Rao’s research from 1923 to 1925 for D.Sc. (Madras). Current, the Head of
Department Physics, Dr. D B R K Murthy, (Mobil No.09440127724) was quite
cordial and showed me just two pieces of equipment of Prof. K R Rao. He
narrated his struggle to safe guard the place of Prof. K. R. Rao’s research
work in the downstairs room and also the entire optical laboratory, with three
‘dark’ very big rooms, used for his dedicated optical and spectroscopy experiments.
Fig.10c shows the simple yet magnificent apparatus used by Prof K R Rao to
complete his D.Sc. (Madras) work at Optics & Spectroscopy Laboratory and
Fig.10c and Fig.10b show the equipment used by him. He has used lot of Hilger
and Perkman Elmer Instruments imported from UK, most have now been swindled
away for profit and money gains, they
were procured by him with meager amounts, he could save, from money accumulated
by his effort of private tuitions to youngsters.

On
10th and 11th Nov 2014 weather at Visakhapatnam was hot
with good Sun shine. On 12th Nov
the sky overcast with clouds it was only a mild Sun that prevailed in
Visakhapatnam, even in Muralinagar there was no wind and very sultry. By
afternoon around 2h45mPM it started raining at Muralinagar with sky completely
over crowded with heavy clouds. It continued with no rain but very cloudy late
night. It rained at few places in coastal districts and some parts of
Telangana. Tuesday i.e., Nov 12th, low pressure over south-west
