ABSTRACT
In the area north of Castaic from the Golden State Freeway to Lancaster and points east, about 2 1/2 inches of rain fell in the affected area, portions of which were covered with golf ball-sized hail. Rainfall records for Oct. 15 were set in Palmdale (0.94 of an inch) and Sandberg (0.65 of an inch), breaking the previous records of 0.04 of an inch and 0.15 of an inch. Udayagiri Rural/Varikunta Padu on October 17, 2015 around 8h35mPM in the night the Earth trembled for a few seconds. Saturday Oct. 17, morning in the cities Amalapuram, Ambajipeta 6cm, and Bhimavaram 3cm rainfall was recorded.
Typhoon Koppu, known as "Lando" in the Philippines, reached Casiguran in Luzon's Aurora province at 1 a.m. local time Sunday 18th, morning (1 p.m. Saturday ET).

On 21st to 24th Oct it was a sweltering weather in Visakhapatnam and the blazing RED SUN rise was noticed that lasted till the evening SUN set. Kiwi, fruit of Arunachala Pradesh, is anti-oxidant, is rich in vitamin C and has a lot of minerals. Kiwi is a perennial fruit and grows throughout the year. Apart from various types of kiwis that grow in the wild, the state grows four main varieties - Monty, Hayward, Bruno and Allison.. Wednesday, Patricia was a tropical storm off Mexico with 65 mph winds that forecasters expected to intensify rapidly. In fact, one forecast gave it a 97 percent chance of getting stronger fast. But it strengthened so quickly that many were surprised. By 4 a.m. EDT Friday Patricia's winds were a record for hurricanes: 200 mph. A derailed freight train Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015, near Corsicana, Texas, about 50 miles south of Dallas. The train derailed because a creek overflowed and washed away the tracks.
Patricia and a separate storm system dumped roughly nine inches of rain around downtown Houston, The higher reaches of Kashmir valley continued to receive snowfall on 23rd Oct, for second day while Himachal Pradesh’s popular tourist destinations Shimla and Manali were lashed by rains on Monday, pushing down the temperature by several notches. The temblor struck at around 2:10 p.m. (5:10 a.m. ET) and occurred in remote area of the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan around 28 miles south-southwest of Jarm.

INTRODUCTION
Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain and hail in the area north of Castaic from the Golden State Freeway to Lancaster and points east. About 2 1/2 inches of rain fell in the affected area, portions of which were covered with golf ball-sized hail. Rainfall records for Oct. 15 were set in Palmdale (0.94 of an inch) and Sandberg (0.65 of an inch), breaking the previous records of 0.04 of an inch and 0.15 of an inch, both set in 1935, according to the National Weather Service.
16th and 17th October 2015
The two days are very hot in spite the sky is partly cloudy, and the sweltering heat felt by people, youngsters were able to withstand the changing weather pattern but the older generation is feeling the pinch of it. Through out India it was almost the same weather.

Dodging Earth Systems large Solar Flares:
The Colaba Observatory in India found the most
powerful Solar Storm ever recorded in 1859. The solar storm allowed observation
of auroras at latitudes as low as Madrid and even in Caribbean Sea. The storm
knocked off all telegraph system facilities all over Europe and North America.
Another large solar storm took place in between October (29 Oct 2003) and
November 2003 known as Halloween Storm that affected Sweden and South Africa
where several transformers were burnt.

Super Typhoon Koppu Makes Landfall in the Philippines
Typhoon Koppu, known as "Lando" in the Philippines, reached Casiguran in Luzon's Aurora province at 1 a.m. local time Sunday morning (1 p.m. Saturday ET). There were reports of power outages and even before the storm hit, its outer bands drenched the country's east coast with heavy rains. Powerful typhoon Koppu ploughed into the north eastern Philippines before dawn on Sunday destroying homes and displacing 10,000 people and whipping up coastal surges four metres (12 feet) high. On an average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year. The category four typhoon, with central destructive winds of 175 kph (109 mph), made landfall around 1 a.m. (1700 GMT). Once a mega-storm, Patricia inflicts little damage on Mexican coast, weakens and moves inland. The weather in Visakhapatnam very cloudy with a mild Sun on Sunday 18th Oct.

WINE ARUNACHALA PRADESH: 23 Oct 2015
Apart from various types of kiwis that grow in the wild, the state grows four main varieties - Monty, Hayward, Bruno and Allison. The fruit is mostly grown in the state's West Kameng and Lower Subansiri districts. With 1,500 metres above sea level being the ideal altitude to grow the kiwi, a hectare of land can produce six to nine tonnes of the fruit annually. "Around 5,000 metric tonnes of the fruit are grown in around 4,000 hectares of land. Since much of this is new land, it will take at least five years for production to reach its full potential". Kiwi is anti-oxidant, is rich in vitamin C and has a lot of minerals. "Kiwi is a perennial fruit and grows throughout the year. Harvesting is done around October-November."

Hurricane Patricia became the strongest storm ever measured on the planet
early Friday, with experts warning it could trigger 40-foot waves along
Mexico's coast and "life-threatening" flash flooding. More than 7
million residents were told to prepare for the "worst-case scenario"
as Patricia was expected to race ashore on Mexico's Pacific coast late Friday
afternoon or early evening. The tourist magnets of Puerto Vallarta and
Manzanillo were directly in the Category 5 storm's projected path. Packing 200
mph winds, the U.S. National Hurricane Center described Patricia as the
"strongest hurricane on record" in the Atlantic and eastern North
Pacific Basins.
24 Oct 2015
The category five hurricane is expected to make landfall in the next few hours, with winds of 305km/h (190mph).Mexican authorities have begun evacuating residents ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Patricia. Patricia will make landfall in the western state of Jalisco, home to the resort town of Puerto Vallarta, which could lie directly in its path. Mexicans are awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Patricia, a category five storm and the strongest ever recorded in the Americas. At 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday, 21st Oct, Patricia was a tropical storm off Mexico with 65 mph winds that forecasters expected to intensify rapidly. In fact, one forecast gave it a 97 percent chance of getting stronger fast. But it strengthened so quickly that many were surprised. By 4 a.m. EDT Friday Patricia's winds were a record for hurricanes: 200 mph. Patricia is being fuelled by near-record warm 87-degree Pacific waters at the surface that ran warm unusually deep.

DALLAS TRAIN DERALED Oct 24th, 2015.
A derailed freight train Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015, near Corsicana, Texas, about 50 miles south of Dallas. The train derailed because a creek overflowed and washed away the tracks. Patricia and a separate storm system dumped roughly nine inches of rain around downtown Houston, but forecasters expected the last band of showers to begin leaving Sunday afternoon. Near Austin, the soaking helped firefighters contain the last of a long-simmering wildfire that had burned 7 square miles and destroyed nearly 70 homes.

KASHMIR REELING IN SNOWFALL
Since Friday 23rd Oct 2015
The higher reaches of Kashmir valley continued to receive snowfall for
second day while Himachal Pradesh’s popular tourist destinations Shimla and
Manali were lashed by rains on Monday, pushing down the temperature by several
notches. The national highway that connects Manali to Leh was temporarily shut
down due to snowfall. Work to reopen the entire 475-km stretch was on and may
get completed in two to three days. The Jammu-Srinagar national highway 1-A was
also closed following landslides in Jammu’s Ramban district. Many places in
Kashmir, including the famous ski-resort of Gulmarg in north, continued to
receive snowfall for the second day. More than two inches of snow had
accumulated in Gulmarg resort till 5.30 pm on Monday. Snowfall on Sadna Top and
Rajdhani Top in the north and Sintham Pass in the south has also snapped road
links to Karnah and Gurez border towns and the Kishtwar town. Snowfall on
Zojilla Pass blocked the Srinagar-Leh National Highway two days ago. The
highway connects the Kashmir Valley with the cold desert Ladakh region of the
state. Snowfall in Pir Ki Gali area of the ancient Mughal Road also suspended
the surface link between the valley and Rajouri district in Jammu on Friday.

EARTHQUAKE IN PAKISTAN
On 26th Oct 2015 at 2h30m PM.
The temblor struck at around 2:10 p.m. (5:10 a.m. ET) and occurred in remote area of the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan around 28 miles south-southwest of Jarm. The agency later revised its magnitude from a preliminary 7.7 to 7.5. Witnesses reported a series of aftershocks. Death toll might reach 300.
A massive Earthquake of magnitude 7.7R (The Hindu, revised later as 7.5R)
shook North India on Monday, Oct 25th, around 2h30m PM. It shook north
India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kashmir Chief minister ran for cover amidst an
ongoing state function. Quake stayed there for more than 2 minutes! Many
structures damaged in the Chenab Valley’s Rajouri district. It was very massive
in Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. Strong
tremors reported in Pakistan. Quake felt with mild tremors in Jaipur, Jodhpur
and Sikar. Created panic in Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat,
Sonepat, Gurgaon, Rohtak, Faridbad, Panchkula, Fetahabad, Sirsa, and Bhiwani. The epicentre was Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan
and it occurred 213 km deep in the earth centred at 82 km southeast of Feyzabad
and 254 km northwest of Kabul in Badakhshan province. Delhi metro rail services
halted for 15 minutes after Earthquake. At least 12 girls were killed in a
stampede to flee their school building in Takhar (falling down under the fellow
running students), just west of Badakhshan province, with 1450 houses
destroyed, where the quake epicentre was located. The earthquake was exactly six months after
the Nepal earthquake of 25 April. Soft sediments across the Indo-Gangetic plains, felt the energy released in the Earthquake equivalent to about 50 Hiroshima atomic bombs. The felt area was quite large area of the Earthquake shake, due to efficient transmission of the earthquake waves that passed through the soils with the said soft sediments. They the waves got trapped and eventually amplified. So ground shaking intensity of order of four and five on MM intensity scale were reported traversing from the north-western part of India. Essentially the sediments have amplified the intensity of impact. .
A major earthquake has hit Afghanistan, northern Pakistan and parts of India, early reports suggesting it has caused extensive damage in mountainous areas. Power was cut across much of the Afghan capital, Kabul, where the quake was felt for about 45 seconds. Rescue officials said at least 28 people were known to have died in northern tribal areas, 20 in the north-west, three in Gilgit-Baltistan and one in Pakistani Kashmir. Two women were reportedly killed in a house that collapsed in Swat. In Pakistan, fears immediately focused on communities in mountainous and isolated parts of the north, which were already vulnerable to landslides after two days of unseasonably heavy rain and snowfall. The initial magnitude 7.5R quake on Monday afternoon was followed by seven aftershocks, measuring as high as magnitude 4.8R. The latest aftershock came just before dawn on Tuesday. Thousands spent the night outdoors in near-freezing temperatures reluctant to go back inside for fear of aftershocks, Pakistani media reported

Slash-and-burn practices across the archipelago have created a haze that has blanketed much of Southeast Asia in recent months. The death toll from a smoky haze hanging over much of Indonesia was almost double the previous figure as the crisis from widespread forest fires worsens, the government said Wednesday." As of this morning, there are 19 people who have died from the effects of haze."

CASSINI AT ENCELADUS SATURN MOON
On Wednesday, 28 Oct., Cassini will storm through a jet of water vapour and frozen particles erupting from the south pole of Enceladus, one of Saturn's many moons. The spacecraft will zoom within 30 miles of the pole, providing the best sampling yet of its underground ocean. Cassini will be traveling 19,000 mph, so it should take just an instant to penetrate the plume.

BEYOND DUST INFRARED REVEALS MILKYWAY OBJECTS
Analysing data from the survey, the astronomers found 655
candidate variable stars of a type called Cepheids. These stars expand and
contract periodically, taking anything from a few days to months to complete a
cycle and changing significantly in brightness as they do so. All of the 35
classical Cepheids discovered are less than 100 million years old. The youngest
Cepheid may even be only around 25 million years old, although we cannot
exclude the possible presence of even younger and brighter Cepheids. The VVV
survey is observing the central parts of our galaxy in five near-infrared
bands. The total area of this survey is 520 square degrees and contains at
least 355 open and 33 globular clusters. [1] The VVV is multi-epoch in nature
in order to detect a large number of variable objects and will provide more
than 100 carefully spaced observations at different times for each part of the
sky covered. A catalogue with about a billion point sources including about a
million variable objects is expected. These will be used to create a
three-dimensional map of the bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. [2] The dust clouds
in interstellar space absorb and scatter visible light very effectively and make
them opaque. But at longer wavelengths, such as those observed by VISTA, the
clouds are much more transparent, allowing the regions beyond the dust to be
probed.
LIGHT HAS ANOTHER SPEED
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson of
SEAS have done just that, designing the first on-chip metamaterial with a
refractive index of zero, meaning that the phase of light can travel infinitely
fast. Light doesn't typically like to be squeezed or manipulated but this
metamaterial permits you to manipulate light from one chip to another, to
squeeze, bend, twist and reduce diameter of a beam from the macroscale to the
nanoscale. But light has another speed, measured by how fast the crests of a
wavelength move, known as phase velocity. This speed of light increases or
decreases depending on the material it's moving through. In a zero-index
material, there is no phase advance, meaning light no longer behaves as a
moving wave, traveling through space in a series of crests and troughs.
Instead, the zero-index material creates a constant phase -- all crests or all
troughs -- stretching out in infinitely long wavelengths. The crests and
troughs oscillate only as a variable of time, not space. This uniform phase
allows the light to be stretched or squished, twisted or turned, without losing
energy. A zero-index material that fits on a chip could have exciting
applications, especially in the world of quantum computing. We designed and fabricated an on-chip
integrated metamaterial with a refractive index of zero in the optical regime.
Light refracts perpendicular to the facets of a prism made of this
metamaterial, directly demonstrating that the index of refraction is zero.
US TOILETS TO TAP WATER TO BEAT DROUGHT
Snowmelt from
the Sierra Nevada a key source of drinking water for the state California, is virtually
gone. Imported water from the Colorado River and ground water are alsoin decline.
California’s Orange County purification plant, largest in the world, treats 100
million gallons a day, enough for 8,50,000 people. Expansion to bring it to 130
million gallons a day. Water goes through micro-filtration to get rid of tiny
organisms, then it is purified by reverse osmosis, finally UV light zaps any
remaining particles. ISS uses equipment to recover the crew’s urine, breath
vapor and sweat to produce water for coffee or brushing teeth. Texas also faces
a severe drought. Potable reuse could yield 350 billion gallons per year to
meet eight million Californian requirements.

MEDICAL MIRACLE: AUTOTRANSPLANTATION OF LIVER
The surgeons extracted a patients liver, aged 24 years, preserved it for hours, removed the blockades and under developed hepatic blood vessels and the reconstructed them with artificial grafts and finally transplanted the same liver back into the patient body. Stat-run Osmania General Hospital surgeons made the desperate ditch attempt and made the Budd-chiari Syndrome on the youngster. After a fortnight the patient made a perfect recovery. Dr.Ch.Madhusudan and Dr.C.G.Rahuram performed the operation.
