ABSTRACT
                        US president thanks Indian PM for the critical role played by him on leadership, to historic success of Climate Change Summit. US is switching all its motor vehicles to run on Electricity, rather than fossil fuels. Not all Brahmins could be priests or were allowed inside the SANCTUM SANNCTORUM of temples, and only those who had mastered the AGAMAS could become Archakas. There are two kinds of Agama texts on, Agama and Tantra the former practised in Saivite and Vaishnavite temples and the later in Sakthi temples. A rare tornado hit Sydney on Wednesday with destructive winds above 200kmph and cricket ball sized hail, bringing down temperatures, trees and power lines, sheering off roofs and walls and causing flash flooding in the city. Emergency crews picking up the pieces after 72mm of rain dumped on the east on December 17, 2015 at 6:08am. Saturday it rained with force around 7PM, and gained force around 9PM. Till the evening the city had normal weather of low sun light, but evening suddenly the clouds gathered and it rained. 50bn solar masses, would have to be, for its outer edge to keep a disc, from forming calculations reveal, for a black hole. 
    Bacterium from the Bay of Bengal Sea, found to degrade plastic and assimilate the harmful substance with the soil. It degraded 90% phenol, 56% cyanide and 50% COD reductions in just two days, said Dr. Ambica. 
  The 8:29 PM lift off, on Monday 21 Dec 2015, after nine Merlin engines passed an automated health check, four hold-down clamps release the FALCON 9 booster for lift off. At 8:30PM MACH 1: The FALCON 9 rocket reaches the speed of sound. At 8:31PM the FALCON's first stage separates from the second stage moments after MECO. At 8:33PM BOOSTRACK BURN: The first stage booster ignites its engines for a "boostback" burn after using cold gas thrusters to flip around and head back. At 8:39PM SEC01, the second stage of the FALCON 9 rocket shuts down after reaching an orbit. At 8:44PM PAYLOAD SEPARATION: the 11 Orbcomm satellites, mated to three, dispenser rings on top of the FALCON 9 second stage, begin deploying at set intervals. At 8:47mPM RE ENTRY BURN: Another firing of the first stage engines further slows down the falling booster to set up for touch down. At 8:49mPM: LANDING BURN: A final landing burn with one of the first stage's MERLIN engines guides the booster to a touchdown at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral. A mild tremor shook several places in 

Srikakulam district on Thursday 24, December 2015 evening around 5h56m PM. New 

Yorkers on the Christmas Day left winter coats, sported T-shirts as mercury hit 21C.

Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments independently outlined existence of a new

particle that broke up into TWO photons or gamma particles, The photons pair up to

750 GeV energy. 20 tornadoes hit Mississippi on Wednesday. The rising water from the swollen river is expected to hit Memphis on Jan.3. 2016.

OBAMA THANKS INDIA PM
                US president thanks Indian PM for the critical role played by him on leadership, to historic success of Climate Change Summit. US is switching all its motor vehicles to run on Electricity, rather than fossil fuels. 

BRAHMIN ARCHAKAS
              Not all Brahmins could be priests or were allowed inside the SANCTUM SANNCTORUM of temples, and only those who had mastered the AGAMAS could become archakas. There are two kinds of Agama texts on, Agama and Tantra the former practised in Saivite and Vaishnavite temples and the later in Sakthi temples. 
                      
                  A nod by the Supreme Court on Wednesday. 16 Dec 2015, on appointment of Archakas, as per Agama, treatise relating to its functioning, as ny deviation violates freedom of religion. Agamas are treatises on matters like construction of temples, installation of idols and conduct of worship of Deity. Any deviation from the age old custom would be an infringement of the freedom of religion.

Sydney storm: 
                A rare tornado hit Sydney on Wednesday with destructive winds above 200kmph and cricket ball sized hail, bringing down temperatures, trees and power lines, sheering off roofs and walls and causing flash flooding in the city. Emergency crews picking up the pieces after 72mm of rain dumped on the east: December 17, 2015 6:08am.  The Bureau of Meteorology recorded rainfalls of up to 72mm at Rose Bay in the past 24 hours, while further south at Kurnell copped 80mm during the tornado. There were abnormally strong winds reaching over 200km/h in parts of the city. December 25 will see storms in Sydney and rain in Melbourne,  with only Adelaide and Perth to enjoy sunny weather this year.

18 December 2015
               The Visakhapatnam has chilly weather, in the morning to-day when fog nicely settled very the city, but day times, the Sun was blazing especially in the afternoons, supporting the idea of global temperature enhancement due to the pollution by almost 2 C degrees.

   NEW PARTICLE OF MASS 750 GeV


            Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments independently outlined existence of a 

new particle that broke up into TWO photons or gamma particles, The photons pair 

up to 750 GeV energy. This is the measure of mass of the particle that decayed. The 

mass of a PROTON is only 1 GeV. Both the teams presented data on December 15, 

2015 at a meeting held in CERN at Geneva.

 Srinagar and North Eastern States: Weather Change

                       There was a huge respite in cold conditions, in some places in Kashmir with the minimum temperature in Srinagar settling above the freezing point for the first time in the last 10 days. The temperature in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, increased by nearly six degrees from the previous night's minimum temperature of minus 5.6 degree Celsius and settled at 0.1 degree Celsius. The tourist resort of Pahalgam, which serves as a base camp for the annual Amarnath Yatra in south Kashmir, as the mercury there settled at a low of minus 2.1 degrees Celsius compared to the previous night at minus 7.2 degrees Celsius. The famous ski-resort of Gulmarg recorded minus 10.0 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature in Kupwara in north Kashmir went up by over four degrees from the previous night's minus 4.5 degrees Celsius to settle at zero degree Celsius. He said Kokernag town in south Kashmir recorded the minimum temperature of minus 1.5 degree Celsius, while Qazigund settled at a low of minus 2.2 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature in Leh, the frontier region of Ladakh, increased by nearly five degrees from the previous minus 15.1 degrees Celsius to settle at a low of minus 10.2 degrees Celsius. The north-eastern states of India have witnessed a rise of two degree Celsius temperature.

AMERICA TORNADOES                  

         Local media reports described how the powerful storm system roared across Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas over the past two days leaving close to a dozen people dead.   As many as 20 tornadoes hit Mississippi on Wednesday, with one twister causing most of the damage, according to the National Weather Service. More than 8,000 homes were left without power after buildings collapsed and trees were uprooted. Search parties were dispatched for several missing people and volunteers helped in a cleaning operation ahead of the Christmas holidays. After an EF-1 tornado struck the south Indianapolis suburb of Greenwood, television stations showed pictures of damage including a portion of a roof blown off a veterinary office.  December 24, 2015 at 7:05 AM.

             Storms killed 14 people, feeding on unseasonal warm air left communities n Illinois to Alabama in the south as Christmas reached its crescendo. More than dozen tornadoes in six states, but with Mississippi  hardest hit, with seven people reported dead there. Scores of homes destroyed and people are left in tears.  Rare December Tornados flattened homes in Texas, bringing death toll to 29 in days of storms tearing across southern US. Would continue next few days. In Mississippi 17 were killed, on Wednesday in Garland, Texas. In Alabama heavy raining continued on Thursday, 23 December,  when a twister struck at 6h45m PM(0045 GMT Sunday).

                In the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, nearly 1,800 families in dozens of towns had been forced to leave their homes. Heavy rain began to fall in the region on 18 December, swelling the Uruguay and Quarai rivers. South of the Brazilian border, in Uruguay, thousands of people have been made homeless in the past few days. At least two people have died in the floods, which have mostly affected the provinces of Entre Rios, Corrientes and Chaco. 



UK flood hit

           North UK drowned forcing hundreds of people to leave their homes. Amount  

of rain was unprecedented. 400 people were evacuated in Yorkshire and Lancashire 

with police drafted to flood response.   



UNUSUAL CHILLI WIND IN VISAKHAPATNAM


                
                      Morning hours from 2AM, to-day 26 Dec 2015, chilly winds have struck 

Visakhapatnam, and it became necessary to wear woollen clothes to protect oneself. 

It was cloudy with minimal sunlight on the last four days at Visakhapatnam, though 

was not raining, possibly a forerunner of the sudden gust of strong blowing wind on

the morning of 26 Dec 2015. Is it related to the  American Tornadoes?


EARTHQUAKE  on 26 Dec 2015


       Tremors felt in North India after earthquake struck at 12:44AM in the Afghanistan-

Tajikistan border region. Earthquake at a depth of 203.5km with epicentre 280 km in 

north east of Afghanistan capital Kabul. In India tremors felt in Chandigarh, Srinagar, 

Jaipur, Delhi and national capital region. Also tremors in Islambad, Lahore and Kabul.




ROSES BLOOM IN NYC: CHRISTMAS DAY

             Record warmth beats the winter chill of 2015, with New Yorkers on the

 Christmas Day left winter coats, sported T-shirts as mercury hit 21C even though 

the skies were over cast. An uncharacteristic warm winter has flower beds sprung to

life, a very unseasonal sight. Daffodil bulbs in suburban gardens sprung up tender 

green periscopes. Roses in city parks showed their plumage against Christmas tree

backdrops. It is unusual to smell, the fragrance of a viburnum in December, at NYC 

Botanical Gardens.


COLD WAVE SWEEPS NORTH INDIA

               Leh region in Jammu and Kashmir recorded minus 16.2C on Friday,  25 

December 2015. Delhi 5.5C, chilled the Dal Lake, Kargil minus 15C, Churu in Rajastan 

recorded 0.4C, Amritsar minus 0.3C, Chandigarh shivered at 3.4C, Ambala and Hisar 

5.2C, and  in Himachal Pradesh cold wave continued.


1500-yr-old Viking site    

            Norway Airport, beneath an ancient, a settlement was found. It is just 13 

football pitches size, covering an area 91,000 sqm extracted Jewellery, animal bones, 

and a shard from a green glass goblet, and remains were in good condition, due to 

the soil in the area having low-acidity.    



GOLD COINS OF HAN DYNASTY


            Number of gold coins and plates, 378 in total from a 2000-yr-old Han dynesty 

tomb in East China were unearthed. Findings include 20 thin plates, about 22cm long

and 10 cm wide. Gold coins weigh about 250g  unearthed in Nanchang city. Generals 

were rewarded with 50,000 kg of gold and a prince left 1,00,000 kg of gold at his 

death. Han dynasty dates back to 206BC-24AD, the tomb belongs to Liu He, 

grandson of Emperor Wu. The present author comments the wealth possibly due to 

trade with India, which in those days had valued money in the form of Gold. 


Last Four Days severe Winter

               Winter chill people are facing, since last four days beginning with a thud of 

chilli winds around 2 AM, morning on Friday, 25 Dec. Thick fog settling on Sunday

running stalls, tea stalls, and snacks centres. 



DEC 28 2015, 3:01 PM ET 
              As many as 58 million of California's large trees are at risk due to the ongoing drought, according to a new study and, researchers say that means big changes may be ahead for the state's forests even if El Nino does drive increased rainfall in the coming year. Using imaging tools on board the Carnegie Airborne Observatory, an ecologist and a team from the Carnegie Institution for Science surveyed forests affected, by the drought that's been ongoing since 2012. Their research, which shows how California's forest canopies have lost water over time. 
DEC 30 2015, 11:39 AM ET
                  LONDON: Wide spread flooding across northern Britain has turned streets into raging torrents, forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes and destroyed many historic buildings including a bridge dating back to 1700. A devastating storm on Wednesday packed winds gusting up to 70mph and brought heavy rain to areas already struggling to cope with their wettest month on record.
Computer model:
                     Projections earlier this week suggested that the air temperature at the pole, which is currently shrouded in 24-hour darkness, could reach 5C, rather than the usual -30 to -35C, according to Mashable. This would make it milder than much of Canada and the US.
  

USATODAY 8:48 a.m. EST December 31, 2015
                         Heavy rain has turned Missouri's Meramec River into a nightmare for thousands of people outside of St. Louis. VPC. Some communities already hit and high waters threaten levees on The Mississippi River is expected to crest in down town St. Louis Thursday at 43.7 feet, nearly 14 feet over flood stage. The rising water from the swollen river is expected to hit Memphis on Jan.3.  

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

             The author is indebted to Late Prof. K. R. Rao  D.Sc.(Madras) D.Sc.(London) for his concern of Nature and eventualities that inspired the author, to monitor the awesome peculiarities of Nature. The research yielded lot of information on phenomenal events of changes of weather and the world over the peculiar happenings. I regard the sudden rain on 19 Dec 2015, as something different, astounding weather with unusual cold.
