ABSTRACT
DETAILS
UPAMAKA THE KOTCHERLAKOTA DIVINE HILL
The two mothers termed as PEDDAVIDA and CHINNAVIDA, of the Kotcherlakota family are enshrined there as per the utmost presumption of Ramayamma (Died: 1927) and Peramma garu (1904-1971). The daughters Dr. Rama Leela, Dr. Vijaya Vani and Dr. Lalithakumari; (all from USA) of Prof K R Rao and Mrs. Peramma Garu, and their sons K. Amarnath (with his children) and present author visited the place on up the hill.
Erratic rain
falls world over caused miserable plight of people for food and shelter. Worst
are those migrating due to wars in Arab countries. Telangana,
Rayalaseema, North Karnataka, Vidharba, Marathawada, Middle Maharashtra state
recorded enhanced high temperatures of the season. With Maharashtra
staring in the face of one of the biggest water crisis in recent decades. The
wreckage of a ship from the fleet of the celebrated 16 century Portuguese
explorer Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) has been discovered off the coast of Oman,
archaeologists said on Tuesday. A discovery that included the recovery of
an incredibly rare coin, many other items of immense value. The Esmeralda
sank during a violent storm near al-Hallaniyah Island in the Indian Ocean in
May 1503, On 23 March the sky observation programme has been held by
me to observe the penumbra Lunar Eclipse from 6:52 PM to 7:24 PM and
several interesting snap shots using the canon IXUS 130 camera and as well
a Lumia camera were obtained. Tangmarg in Kashmir was under snow on
Thursday 17 March 2016. Temperature dropped
at J&K after snowfall and rain on 18 March 2016. It rained consecutive
second day. Srinagar-Jammu high way closed as it was blocked by landslides.
Gulmarg received seven inches of snow in 24 hours lost, (18 March).
The Kashmir again was under snow on this year.
Heat-Waves are more frequent than
last year. Pacific Ocean near Earth's equator the excess of 0.5 C results in El
Nino. Presently it is about 1,5 C excess. Dry weather is also a reason
of excess temperature. MARATHWADA DROUGHT report on 25 March 2016
reveals that only 5% water in Marathwada
dams exist, as drought worsens ahead of summer season. Over 2300 water tankers
in operation to supply water to Beed, Latur and Osmanabad districts.The system
3C 273 Quasar, which is 2 billion ly away, revealed a temperature hotter than
10 trillion degrees at the centre of Galaxy by a joint telescope on Earth and
Space combination! It is a challenge, to know the physical processes at 100
billion degree. India
and countries around it are covered by Gravity Waves on the 29 March 2016.

The wreckage of a ship from the fleet of the celebrated 16 century Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) has been discovered off the coast of Oman, archaeologists said on Tuesday. National Geographic called the 500-year-old shipwreck the oldest ever found from the Europe's Golden Age of Exploration, a period when European nations sought to uncover global sea trade routes. Da Gama established the Indian trade route in 1498 when he sailed around Africa and through the India Ocean.The 500-year-old wreckage of Portuguese ship piloted by an uncle of explorer Vasco da Gama has been found off the coast of Oman, archaeologists said Tuesday, a discovery that included the recovery of an incredibly rare coin, many other items of immense value. The Esmeralda sank during a violent storm near al-Hallaniyah Island in the Indian Ocean in May 1503, killing commander Vicente Sodre and all those aboard.

SCHOOL KIDS MIDDAY MEALS
With Maharashtra staring in the face of one of the biggest water crisis in
recent decades, a law and order problem has arisen in the parched Marathwada
region, threatening to snowball into social conflict. Last week, the police
were called in to deploy and organise tankers under their protection after
furious residents of Dongargaon village refused water supply from their dam to
nearby Latur city. Eleven villages, including Dongargaon, are denying the city
water from the Dongargaon dam, justifying the move on grounds that their plight
was no better. Eventually, a team of 25 water tankers, under the vigilant eye
of the police were pressed into service to draw water from the dam and ferry it
to Latur. In September last year, Latur’s residents received water supply
barely once a month. With the ravages of indiscriminate urbanisation wreaking
havoc with the groundwater table of Western Maharashtra, which traditionally
receives heavy rainfall. In the 540-odd villages across 13 talukas in Pune
district, the groundwater levels have alarmingly plummeted to 1 m, as per a
recent report by the Groundwater Surveys and Development Agency (GSDA). In more
than 100 of these villages showed depletion of the water groundwater level to
more than 3 m. This acute water scarcity has stunted the growth of the Rabi
crop with eight of the 12 Tehsils of Pune district reporting 40 per cent less
than their normal sowing. The State Government’s intentions to divert water
from Pune’s dams to parched areas like Latur mean imminent water cuts for the
city’s residents, contrary to the Mayor’s assurances. The primary bone of
contention in water disposition is the 6.77 TMC water left in the Bhama Askhed
dam in Khed taluka in Pune district. The urban areas of Pune, Solapur and
Daund, have staked claim on this precious stock of water, while the State
Government has hinted that it might supply arid Latur and other parts of
water-bereft Marathwada with this reserve stock.
J&K Temperatures
Temperature dropped at J&K
after snowfall and rain on 18 March 2016. It rained consecutive second day.
Srinagar-Jammu high way closed as it was blocked by landslides. Gulmarg
received seven inches of snow in 24 hours lost, (18 March) Srinagar recorded
1.9 C, minimum and maximum at 4.3 C, which is 10 notches below normal. It
recorded 28 mm rainfall in Pahalgam, 23.2 mm at Kokernag, 25.4 mm at Quazigund,
and 14.2 mm at Kupwara. Next two days widespread rains would occur. Avalanche
prone areas warned for today and tomorrow.
SUPER STARS IDENTIFIED IN R136
CLUSTER
Located in the
Tarantula Nebula within Large Magellanic Cloud about 1.70,000 light years away
nine monster stars with masses over 100 times the Sun identified. Luminous stars
radiate in UV light outshine Sun by a factor of 30 million. These emerge from merger
of less extreme stars in close binary systems. Frequency of massive mergers to account
for massive stars is debatable.

40 C, Ramgundem, Nandigama, 40 C, Gannavaram 39 C recorded.
The sun stroke killed 15 people in AP.
Nalgonda Zillah about 8 people lost life. Medak, Khammam, Palamuru, Kurnool,
Vijayanagaram, and Ananatpur deaths due to heat wave occurred and two died in
the sleep in the night after day’s work in fields.
Heatwaves blowing Nizamabad, Medak,
Karimnagar, Hyderabad, Prakasam, Nellore, Rangareddi, Nalgonda, Khammam, Mahabubhanagar,
Godavari, West Krishna, Guntur, and Warangle
on Monday 21 March 2016.
MARCH 22, 2016
Astronomers see supernova shockwave for first time: ABC Science::22 March 2016: 12:42 AM: They spotted the shockwave around the smaller of the two stars — a red supergiant over 270 times the radius of the Sun and 750 million light years away. As the star ran out of fuel it began collapsing and compressing on its central core.
Heatwaves
for another two days would occur in AP. Godavari Zillah to Nellore and in
Telangana Medak, Rangareddi, Mahbabunagar, Adilabad, Nalgonda, and in Kammam, heatwaves
sustained on March 22. Anantpur, Kurnool recorded 43 C, Nandigamma 42 C, Hyderabad,
Nizmbad, Ramgundem 41 C. Jangameshwaram 41 C, Nellore and Gannavaram 40 C. In
two days in Hyderabad recorded two degrees excess. Monday 21 March, 39 C but on
Tuesday it was 41 C in Hyderabad. On Tuesday 13 died, about 9 in AP and 4 in
Telangana.

with only Kerala state graced by showers.
In
AP, Karnataka and Telangana, the interior parts of Tamil Nadu experiencing temperatures
of the order of 40 C, at just the beginning of the summer. Gulbarga known as
Kalaburagi hit a 44.7 C, and one third of the districts in Karnataka have
witnessed above 40 C. Ananatpur and Nanidigamma in AP, Khammam
in Telangana registered 43 C.
Hyderabad 41.2 C, Bhubaneswar recorded 42.2 C, and interior parts of Tamil Nadu
like Salem and Karur touched 40 C while Vellore touched 41.1 C. Experts feel
that that the movement of dry westerly winds and the western disturbances have
blocked the cool north-westerly wind that made the AP, Telangana and Karnataka
as hot. The radiation of the Sun is more due to the absence of clouds. Above
normal temperatures due to the clear sky and it is not due to equinox.
23 March 2016
The sun is mild today at Visakhapatnam and we havn't felt so intense heat of the Sun and the wind from the ceiling fan blowing is not hot at all. The last five days it was invariably hot. The RED glaring Sun in the evening was a great spectacle and the author found at Visakhapatnam, Kailasanagar, the clouds have obstructed the full blown SUN in the evening and dispersed lot of the RED colour of the setting Sun. It was a very enchanting sight since last few days there were no clouds atoll covering the Visakhapatnam sky.

Children bunked school to help parents to collect water supplied, once in eight days, about 200 litres, to upkeep a family. Latur in Maharashtra state was worst affected this year, in spite 16 lorry loads transported water. Rich people some how manage but the public of this 5 lakh people suffer a lot. Draught is running over months here. Nation's attention is unable to solve the problem!.
March 24, 2016
Sunstroke killed ten people in Nellore and Kadapa
on Wednesday, 23 March 2016. Gales from the Sea
allowed formation of clouds in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday morning so temperatures fallen down by one to two degrees less. In Nallamalla forest area, all the streams and small flows dried up, with 42 C, and in Rudravaram subdivision many wild animals died due to absence of drinking water and excessive heat. Dry weather would continue for another two to three days. Compared to five years data reveals excess heat this summer, in Telangana and AP. The heat-waves would continue in Telangana for another two days. This year Heat-Waves are more frequent than last year.
Pacific ocean near Earth's equator the excess of 0.5 C results in El Nino. Presently it is about 1.5 C excess. Dry weather is also a reason of excess temperature.
EIGHT CRORE PEOPLE INDIA
Deprived of safe drinking water about 75,777,997 people in India according to WaterAid, and the country registers about 1.4 lakh child deaths annually due to diarrhoea. It tops China, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Congo. WHO specifies 50 litres of water per person per day. Open defecation the number stood at 564 million in 2015, of which 524 million live in rural areas, main cause of infections spread that effects the children mostly.
LATUR MAHARASHTRA
Latur
big dry for four years, is seen as an ecological disaster, and all the workers
left the city and people are seeking water supplied once in eight days for
survival. Ground water fallen from 63 ft in 1974-75 now it went down to 800-900 ft
below. Between June and October last year it received 398mm rain, normal being
455-755 mm. 50,000 bore wells across 6-7
sq. km have dried up.
ANDHRA PRADESH
In
Macherla, Narasaraopeta, Sattenpalle, Gurazala, Vinukonda and Chilakaluripet village
tanks are all dry. KRMB decides to release 4.5 tmc ft from Nagarjuna Sagar
reservoir, but not more than 3.5tmc ft would reach since 1tmc ft goes waste
through evaporation and seepage losses. Not seen the situation turn so bad in
the last 15 years feels a person from Vinukonda. Both Prakasam and Guntur
facing water problem. Mercury soared new highs. Release from Nagarjuna Sagar
doesn’t meet needs of Guntur and Prakasam districts. Scorching heat claimed
nine lives in two Telugu states on Thursday, 24 March. About 20 students
attended a coaching centre at Kodiginahalli in Parigiri mandal in Anantapur
district were hospitalized, due to dehydration and giddiness and one of them
died, district administration closed down the centre.
MARATHWADA DROUGHT report on 25 March 2016.
Only 5% water in Marathwada dams as drought
worsens ahead of summer season. Over 2300 water tankers in operation to supply
water to Beed, Latur and Osmanabad districts. Water tank trains arranged for Latur
ferrying water from the Ujani Dam to Latur. Wednesday 23 March 2016 report.
TAMIL NADU HISTORY
Untold story of TN uprisings in Palayakkarar extension of Vijayanagar
rule (during 1750-1857) in a collection of papers by CPR Institute of
Indological Research, presented during a national seminar in 2015.The poligar
revolts 1798-1805, and the Vellore revolt of 1806 involved several forts said a
scholar Balaji a contributor to the book. Kattabomman’s Panchalakuruchi Fort 500
feet long and 300 feet wide built with mud, destroyed by Major Bannerman with
the villagers easily driven away. In 1730AD Veera Mangal Velunachiyar, born to
Sellamuthu Sethupathy and Sakandhimuthal of Ramnad Kingdom, was the first queen
who raised the banner of revolt against the English before Jansi Rani of North
India.

27 March 2016
For two days 26 and
27 March the dry weather prevails in Andhra and Telangana, with temperatures by
about two degrees less. Heat Waves affecting the Rice, Maize, and other crops
and withering away. On Friday 25 March, the weather was very hot and dry. Rayalaseema and Telangana facing severe
summer weather last two days compared to Andhra.
VISAKHAPATNAM COAST MIGHT DISAPPEAR
Ocean level in
Visakhapatnam increases by about one to one and half meter height it would
destroy the entire beach coast. Krishna and
Godavari may be filled with salt water upsurge in future. Ocean levels might
raise to seven meters i.e., about 23 feet causing disappearance of several
countries by 2300. The 976 meters coastal line in India about 400 meters would
be subjected to the cut. Airport in Vzag is only 3 meters high. One town is
only 3 meters high. MVP colony, and Lawason Bay colony are only 5 meters high. One
meter raise would destroy 490 hectares submerged in sea water. Port, HPLC, Cormandal, BPC, IOC plant, Shipyard, and other land marks and factories survival would be
difficult. Jalaripeta, and Appughar areas would be submerged and salt water
would accumulate into the interior of Earth.
VISAKHAPATNAM 18 March 2016
V K Lakshmi Gayatri
reports Visakhapatnam is no more a summer paradise, with mercury touching 35 C
it was sizzling. Hudhud cyclone in 2014, divested big trees and none have grown
up now and mostly withered away dead. Araku, Lambasingha, Paderu, Ananthagiri
and Hukumpeta have no much variation in weather pattern. Even in the evenings
there was no cool wind. Weather is very dry and hot. The real summer is yet to
set in. Many tourists return with tired limbs. Temperatures touching 34/35 C,
has become common.
WATER PROBLEM
Koilsagar farmers on warpath for water with withering crops
on one side and the thirst of lakhs of people on the other. Severe water
situation in Mahbubnagar. Forcibly opened valves of Koilsagar project (designed
for 50,000 acres now provides only 12,000 acres), to get water in their fields.
Currently water level stood at 12ft, and level up to 3feet would be enough to
meet the drinking water needs.
The
greater Hyderabad requires 550-600 MFD per day. Only 365 MGD is being supplied
currently. With nearly one lakh bore-wells went dry. The water shortage would
be more acute this summer as water levels plummet.
UV RADIATION
UV Radiation
Index very high in TS, right now it stands at 12(high-risk) compared with last
year’s March reading at 9. Polymorphic light eruptions, actinic dermatitis and
sunburn are some of the effects due to UV rays. Maximum risk is from 12 noon to
3 PM and people should drink lot of fruit juices. UV indices are not available
for several cities in the states of Andhra and Telangana.
SCHOOL KIDS MIDDAY MEALS

The confluence of north-westerly winds from Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh blowing clock-wise fashion in coastal region and southerly winds which come from the Bay of Bengal blow in anti-clockwise direction would result in thunderstorms in next few days. {News Mach 28, 2016}. This results in the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and thunder storms in AP.
High
winds battered Britain and western France Monday, wreaking havoc with flight
schedules, ferry transport across the English Channel and closing the Port of
Dover. Passengers reported frightening attempts to land at London's airports in
extreme high winds as Storm Katie caused some 130 flights at Gatwick and
Heathrow airports to be diverted or cancelled. The
Port of Dover was closed by the winds and rough seas Monday morning and ferry
services linking France and Britain were suspended. The port has since reopened
but ferry companies are reporting delays as vessels are slowed by heavy
weather. Roughly 100,000 homes in Britain have been left without power as winds
of up to 106 mph (170 kph) hit parts of the country. France's meteorological service warned of a "very
unsettled" situation, issuing wind or wave alerts for 10 coastal areas and
warning of gusts of up to 140 kph (85 mph) in exposed coastal areas.

have a sonar array fitted to the ship structure below the waterline. The sonar
functions as the ship's underwater eyes and ears.The sonar dome is a structure
fitted over the sonar array so that its electronics and sensors are not exposed
to surrounding hostile environment and has to be structurally sound as well as
acoustically transparent.
Scientists have discovered that a highly promising group of materials known as hybrid lead halide perovskites can recycle light – a finding that they believe could lead to large gains in the efficiency of solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are a particular group of synthetic materials which have been the subject of intensive scientific research, as they appear to promise a revolution in the field of solar energy. As well as being cheap and easy to produce, perovskite solar cells have, in the space of a few years, become almost as energy-efficient as silicon – the material currently used in most household solar panels. By showing that they can also be optimised to recycle light, the new study suggests that this could just be the beginning. Solar cells work by absorbing photons from the sun to create electrical charges, but the process also works in reverse, because when the electrical charges recombine, they can create a photon. The research shows that perovskite cells have the extra ability to re-absorb these regenerated photons – a process known as “photon recycling”. This creates a concentration effect inside the cell, as if a lens has been used to focus lots of light in a single spot. Lead-halide perovskites have emerged as high-performance photovoltaic materials. We mapped the propagation of photo-generated luminescence and charges from a local photo-excitation spot in thin films of lead tri-iodide perovskites. We observed light emission at distances of ≥50 micrometers and found that the peak of the internal photon spectrum red-shifts from 765 to ≥800 nanometers. We used a lateral-contact solar cell with selective electron- and hole-collecting contacts and observed that charge extraction for photo-excitation >50 micrometers away from the contacts arose from repeated recycling between photons and electron-hole pairs. Thus, energy transport is not limited by diffusive charge transport but can occur over long distances through multiple absorption-diffusion-emission events. This process creates high excitation densities within the perovskite layer and allows high open-circuit voltages.

The Western Disturbance is presently marked over Jammu and Kashmir and adjoining region. Another Western Disturbance is approaching Western Himalayas. Its induced cyclonic circulation is seen over central Pakistan and adjoining areas. An upper air cyclonic circulation is seen over North Odisha and adjoining Jharkhand. Another trough is running from South Chhattisgarh up to North Interior Karnataka across Vidarbha and Marathwada.

SUNKEN ISLANDS
The first island to have been claimed by the rising seas was
Lohachara island in the delta region of the Sundarbans – where the rivers Ganga
and Brahmaputra meet and empty out into the Bay of Bengal. Once home to 10,000
people, this Indian island was only found to be missing in 2006, when
researchers saw that it had vanished from satellite images. If the sea level rises by even 3ft, the
Maldives will be submerged. Venice continues to sink, at an average of 1-2 mm every
year. The Arctic tundra, home to Arctic foxes, polar bears, musk oxen,
caribou, snow geese, Gray wolves and a ariety of wildlife, has warmed almost
twice as fast as the rest of the world.
DENSE MINERALS OF EARTH’S CRUST
The last of a group of dense minerals that make up much of Earth’s
crust and upper mantle has been found tucked inside a meteorite that slammed
into Australia 135 years ago. The newly discovered mineral, a variety of "Majorite", is potentially abundant in sinking tectonic plates and could help
illuminate the behaviour of the deep Earth, its discoverers say. Each identical
component of this mineral contains 32 magnesium atoms, 32 silicon atoms and 96
oxygen atoms arranged in a distorted cube. Natural samples of MgSiO3 tetragonal garnet, the mineral’s scientific
moniker, had eluded scientists since the mineral was first artificially
produced in 1985.

NEW
PHYSICS AT SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE.
Earth-Space telescope system
with highest resolution helped unveil hot Quasar 3C 273, 2 billion ly away from
Earth, propels jets, nearly at speed of light, in the Milky Way. These jets
emit Radio Waves. The Radio-Telescope has 160,934 km across helps to study new
physics. The system revealed a temperature hotter than 10 trillion degrees at
the centre of Galaxy! It is a challenge, to know the physical processes at 100
billion degrees. Radio-Astron project scientist said result is a significant challenge
to current understanding of Quasars. Pub. Astrophysical Journal Letters.
