ABSTRACT
                     A new crystalline material Cesium Bromide and conventional nitride phosphor. Kaust researchers fabricated these devices for optical conversion in visible light communications. The TiO2-doped photo-catalyst degraded reactive black-5 and methylene blue in about one-and-half-hours and 60% of methyl orange in two hours by using visible light from the Sun Shine with only 3% UV radiation. With solar concentrator the degradation process was hastened.The epicentre was 10 km (six miles) from the city of Chivay, capital of Caylloma province, according to the Geophysical Institute of Peru. Two aftershocks hit Monday morning. The quake caused damage throughout an area of Arequipa called the Colca Valley, and several villages have been cut off. A moderate 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Peru.The circular ring around the Sun on Wednesday 17 August 2016 around Mid-Day. The Red and Green rings are visible in the photo of Solar circular rings captured in Visakhapatnam RK beach with others faint. Visakha Agency Anantagiri, Haritha Hill resort bloomed, these flowers of Rakhi. They are also known as Kaurav-Pandava pushpalu. A 17 MeV vector gauge boson X that is produced in the decay of an excited state to the ground state, Be*8→Be8 X, and then decays through X→e+e−. The X boson mediates a fifth force with a characteristic range of 12 fm. Gujarat scientists feat, with solar concentrator the degradation process was hastened, that reactive black-5 and methylene blue degraded within five minutes, while methyl blue degraded completely in about 20 minutes. An earthquake measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale hit Delhi and its surrounding areas a little before 3 pm on 22 August. The earthquake was measured at a depth of 16 kms. Typhoon Mindulle made landfall at the city of Tateyama, 80km south of Tokyo, at around 1330 AEST on August 22. It took at least 4 minutes for the Earth Quake of Myanmar (was near Chauk, at a depth of 84 km) impact on Visakhapatnam suburbs on Wednesday 24 August, that was felt at 4:08 PM. As reiterated by Skymet Weather, a fresh low pressure area has developed in west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast. The system has already started affecting the weather over coastal parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In wake of this, most parts have recorded mainly moderate showers, with few places recording heavy rains as well. In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Karaikal recorded 58 mm of rain, followed by Ongole 36 mm, Tuni 29 mm, Cuddalore 17 mm, Narsapur 16 mm, Bapatla 15 mm, Chennai 14 mm, Machilipatnam 8 mm and Trichy 9 mm. A series of medium-intensity tremors rocked parts of Himachal Pradesh this morning, following which panic-stricken people rushed out of their homes in Shimla and Kullu districts. Tremors were felt thrice, at 6.46 AM, 7.05 AM and 9.02 AM. Their magnitude was measured at 4.6, 4.3 and 4.2 on the Richter scale respectively. The epicentre the quakes was in Kullu at a depth of 10 km. A moderate earthquake measuring 4.4 on Richter scale jolted parts of coastal areas in Saurashtra region on Saturday afternoon. The officials said no damage or any casualty was reported from any of the places hit by the tremors.  According to the Institute of Seismological Research (ISM) in Gandhinagar, the epicentre of the earthquake was 50 km in Arabian Sea from Mangrol town in Porbandar district. The first earthquake struck at 12:23 pm while tremors were felt in many places a few minutes later on 12.30 p.m. The origin of the tremors was also located in the mid sea near Mangrol.  The third tremor was of much lighter 1.6 intensity, centred 31km from Bhachau in Kutch district.  The places which were jolted includes Junagadh, Gir Somnath, Jetpur, Dhoraji and parts of Rajkot district. Flood situation of Bihar worsened with toil touching 153 in Bihar, and 45 Maida villages were hit on the Saturday 27 August. About 12 more panchayat areas are inundated. Population of 34.69 lakh in twelve districts were affected. Rising Ganga waters submerged 45 villages with at least 5,558 families of four blocks were inundated. Every state must organise competitions for skills in the ancient ART and CRAFT of India, and winners must be projected on state records. Agences France-Presse: Updated: August 29, 2016 17:12 IST More than 300 wild reindeer have been killed by lightning in southern Norway, Mild earthquake hits Nepal: PTI; Aug 28, 2016, 07.55 PM ISTKATHMANDU: A mild earthquake measuring 4.0 magnitude on the Richter scale has jolted Nepal's western region on Sunday. The epicentre of the tremor was located in Bajura district, about 600 km west of Kathmandu, The tremor, recorded at around 6 PM yesterday, was said to be a fresh one. August 30, 2016, 9:54 AM IST: the typhoon comes on the heels of two others that hit Japan in the past nine days, resulting in two deaths, the cancellation of hundreds of domestic flights and disruptions to train services.  August 30, 2016 15:34 IST: This August 28, 2016 NASA satellite image shows Hurricane Lester(R) (13E), Tropical Storm Madeline  (14E). In the night at 20:13 PM on 31 August 2016 it is raining in Visakhapatnam, though it was very hot in the morning. Also the drinking water from Taps is also considerably between 11 AM to evening 16 PM.

2G/s internet data speed
                          New crystalline Material of nanocrystals of cesium lead bromide roughly 8 nanometers in size, incorporating conventional nitride phosphor respectively emitting blue and red lights excited by blue laser light, together give warm white light.Optical processes in these crystals occur at a time scale of 7 nanoseconds. White light generated limits to about one hundred million bits per second, that can be modulated 40 times faster. Kaust researchers fabricated these devices for optical conversion in  visible light communications. 
EARTHQUAKE PERU SUNDAY 
                           The epicentre was 10 km (six miles) from the city of Chivay, capital of Caylloma province, according to the Geophysical Institute of Peru. Two aftershocks hit Monday morning. The quake caused damage throughout an area of Arequipa called the Colca Valley, and several villages have been cut off. A moderate 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Peru killed at least nine people and left 40 injured, crushing villagers under rubble and blocking roads, late Sunday  August 14 night. The quake knocked down about 50 homes and cut off roads and power in the southern Arequipa region.

VISAKHAPATNAM
                  On both days 16 and 17 August the weather was sweltering hot, an unusual thing in month of August for the people in the town. Tap water happens to be sufficiently hot flowing down from the terrace located water head observed on all the two days.


STRONG RAINS IN US  16 August 2016
          TORONTO: About 1,500 Americans floating down a river that separates the United States from Canada had to be rescued from the water when strong rains and winds sent them illegally into Canadian territory, 

HAWKING RADIATION: 17 August 2016

                Particles that are now called Hawking radiation, his idea was that if a particle (and its antimatter mate) appeared spontaneously at the edge of a black hole, one of the pair might be pulled into the black hole while the other escaped, taking some of the energy from the black hole with it, which would explain why black holes grow smaller and eventually disappear. The experiment consisted of creating an entangled pair of phonons sitting inside a bit of liquid that had been forced (via laser) to move very fast and then observing the action as one of the pair was pulled away as the liquid began to move faster than the speed of sound, while the other escaped, the fluid was a Bose-Einstein condensate of Rubidium-87 atoms. After repeating the experiment 4,600 times Steinhauer became convinced that the particles were entangled, a necessity for a Hawking radiation analogue. His findings do not prove Hawking's theory to be true, of course, but they do appear to add a degree of credence that other researchers have thus far not been able to achieve.

Protophobic X Boson: Fifth-Force
Published 11 August 2016.
                    Protophobic Fifth-Force Interpretation of the Observed Anomaly in Be8 Nuclear Transitions: Jonathan L. Feng, Bartosz Fornal, Iftah Galon, Susan Gardner, Jordan Smolinsky, Tim M. P. Tait, and Philip Tanedo: Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 071803;  ABSTRACT Recently a 6.8σ anomaly has been reported in the opening angle and invariant mass distributions of e+e− pairs produced in Be8 nuclear transitions. The data are explained by a 17 MeV vector gauge boson X that is produced in the decay of an excited state to the ground state, Be*8→Be8 X, and then decays through X→e+e−. The X boson mediates a fifth force with a characteristic range of 12 fm and has milli-charged couplings to up and down quarks and electrons, and a proton coupling that is suppressed relative to neutrons. The protophobic X boson may also alleviate the current 3.6σdiscrepancy between the predicted and measured values of the Muon’s anomalous magnetic moment. Received 3 May 2016. The Hungarians were attempting to find “dark photons,” indicative of dark matter that is thought to make up 85 percent of all matter. The scientists detected a particle 30 times heavier than an electron. Feng’s team, instead of the “dark photon” the Hungarians found a “protophobic X boson.” The existence of this particle is what could indicate a fifth force of nature.
GUJARAT SCIENTISTS FEAT 
          A nanocomposite was found as an excellent photo-catalyst to degrade industrial dyes in a single-step process. More than 500 tons of no-degradable dyes textile colour wastes are generally disposed of in natural streams. The TiO2-doped photo-catalyst degraded reactive black-5 and methylene blue in about one-and-half-hours and 60% of methyl orange in two hours by using visible light from the Sun Shine with only 3% UV radiation. With solar concentrator the degradation process was hastened, that reactive black-5 and methylene blue degraded within five minutes, while methyl blue degraded completely in about 20 minutes. Nano-composite can be used about six times with degradation efficiency remaining 97%. Paper from CSMCRI in the Journal of RSC Advances asserts Dr.Meena.
THE QUEEN'S STEP WELL
             Beyond a primary water source, stepwells were used as civic structures, they provided a respite from heat, a place to socialize, and in many cases, functioned as subterranean temples, with intricate carvings of deities. These days, few stepwells are in use. The majority of them are derelict, filled with trash and abandoned. There are a few more known exceptions. Rani-ki-Vav (the Queen's Stepwell) in Gujarat for example, was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014.

19 August 2016:Nine killed as flood fear grips Rajasthan
                   District collector SP Singh said around 200 mm rainfall was recorded in Chhabra, Atru and Kawai areas since Friday while around 250 mm in Chhipabarod region. Due to overflowing Parvati, Parwan, Andheri and other rivers, flood water entered several villagers, prompting authorities to declare high alert for low lying areas. Around 25 villagers in Chhabra, Chhipabarod, Kawai and nearby areas were rescued on Saturday using helicopters. Around 15 people were rescued using boats. Over a dozen villages have been turned into islands in the region following heavy rainfall since Friday 19 August 2016. Meena said gates of Lahsi Dam in Chhipabarod were opened to discharge excess water, which created water logging. Low-lying areas in Manohar Thana area of Jhalawar district also got waterlogged due overflowing Parwan river. Over 300 mm rain has been reported in Manohar Thana since Friday.

22 August 2016
          An earthquake measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale hit Delhi and its surrounding areas a little before 3 pm today.The earthquake was measured at a depth of 16 kms. The more shallow an earthquake is, the bigger its likely destruction. The epicenter was Chhajiawas in Haryana.
Typhoon slams into Tokyo area: AUGUST 22, 20164:25PM
           A powerful typhoon has made landfall near Tokyo, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the Japanese capital and surrounding areas. Tens of thousands of residents were urged to evacuate their homes in Tokyo and in neighbouring prefectures as weather authorities warned of mudslides, flooding, swollen rivers and high waves in the regions. Some areas, including the cities of Ome and Iruma, saw a record rainfall of about 100mm per hour, local media reported. Typhoon Mindulle made landfall at the city of Tateyama, 80km south of Tokyo, at around 1330 AEST. More than 100 train services and 425 flights were cancelled because of the bad weather conditions, broadcaster NHK reported. As of 1400 AEST the ninth typhoon of this season was at Tateyama, travelling north at 20 km/h, with maximum sustained winds of 126 km/h and gusts of 180 km/h, the agency said. Rainfall of up to 250mm was forecast for the Kanto region and up to 200mm for the island of Hokkaido and the north-east by Tuesday noon. Meanwhile, Typhoon Kompasu weakened to a tropical depression overnight after making landfall at the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

11 August at 9:28 started Krishna Pushkaram
              Kanya Rasi entered into Brihaspati, at 9h28m on the 11 August, and Krishna Pushkaram initiated and ended at 9h28m on Tuesday 23 August, for a period of twelve auspicious days. Notably, for the entire year the "Pushkaradu" resides in Krishna River. After that the Pushkara in Cauvery River waters in Kerala State would begin.  We have 12 sacred rivers in India and all these twelve rivers is associated with a zodiac sign, and the river for each year’s festival is based on which sign Jupiter is in at the time. Well when comes to this Krishna river which is also called as Krishnaveni, Krishna Pushkara lasts as long as Bruhaspati (Jupiter) remains in the Kanya (Virgo) zodiac sign.

UK at 22:24, Wednesday 24 August 2016 
                    A two-year-old girl who was swept into the sea at Newquay with her father last week has died. McKayla Bruynius died at Bristol Children's Hospital on Tuesday night. Mrs Bruynius had also been swept into the sea and sustained minor injuries. Two other children in the family had managed to scramble onto rocks. The family are from Croydon in south London, and were on holiday in the area.

EARTH QUAKES IN INDIA
Fig.3 EARTH QUAKE IN INDIA OF 6.8R
struck with tremors in Bengal, Bihar, Jarkhand, 
Patna, Guwahati, Tripura and Assam.
                      6.8R earthquake that struck in Myanmar at a depth of 84 km, with tremors in Bengal, Bihar, Jarkhand, Patna, Guwahati, Tripura and Assam, with epicentre in Myanmar, was near Chauk town, with offices in Kolkata were evacuated since the tremors lasted almost 10 sec. Swayed high-rise buildings in the Thai capitol of Bangkok. Metro services in Kolkata briefly stopped. They describe it as horrible shaking. The epicentre was more than 500 km from the Indian Border. It shook buildings in Myanmar's capitol city Yangon and in other towns and cities. They quake was also felt in Bangladesh to the west of Myanmar.  National centre for seismology a unit of Ministry of Earth Sciences said the quake occurred at 4:04 PM. 
                       YANGON, Myanmar (AP) Damaging 185 ancient Buddhist pagodas in the former capital of Bagan, a major tourist site. Pagan, has more than 2,200 structures, including pagodas and temples constructed from the 10th to the 14th centuries. Many are in disrepair while others have been restored in recent years. We felt quite heavy shaking for about 10 seconds and started to evacuate the building when there was another strong tremor. The quake was felt in a half dozen states in neighbouring India, where people rushed out of offices and homes at several places. It caused buildings to sway in Bangkok, Thailand's capital, several hundred km (miles) to the east. There were no reports of damage in either country.
                       
                        The magnitude 6.8 quake was centered about 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of Chauk, an area west of Bagan. It was located fairly far below the Earth's surface at a depth of about 84 kilometres (52 miles),    
  
At 4:08 PM WEDNESDAY 24 August 2016
                    Visakhapatnam suburbs like Madhavadhara, Venkojipalem, Akkayyapalem, Muralinagar, Marripalem, Narasimhanagar, in the evening around 4:08 PM felt the Earth mild Tremors for just a few seconds on the Wednesday, 24 August 2016.

INDIANAPOLIS: At least eight tornadoes ripped through Indiana on Wednesday, 24 August reported, causing minor injuries but damaging several homes. More than 18,000 residents were without power Thursday morning, more than 17,000 of those were in Kokomo, which weathered the worst of the storm damage.

ITALY 
Fig.4 Italy devastation of an Earth Tremor that occurred
 on 24 August 2016 at 3.35 AM at Accumoli hard hit
                 At least 260 people died in a powerful earthquake of 6.1R struck at 3.35 AM, (0136 GMT) in Italy early on Wednesday on 24 August 2016 with many people buried in rubble. It leveled many buildings, dislodged dust, smelled strongly of gas, and plaster, people wondering whether the town isn't here any more. People felt long swaying followed by aftershocks.  The quake struck towns and villages in the mountainous heart of the country. The town 110 km away from Rome, one of the worst hit by far. The centre of Amatrice was devastated with entire palazzos razed to the ground. Accumoli near Rieti, was also hardest-hit town.   Almost 39 after shocks continued as strong as 5.1R. 
               The recent earthquake in Italy, followed by the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, emphasize the need for mobile hospitals to care for victims of such disasters. There are many surrounding towns also affected by the earthquake in Italy, which was felt 100 miles away in the city of Rome. Last night, I woke up with a sound that sounded like a bomb.
                               After all, it was created by the same complex forces that gave birth to the mighty Alps beginning three-quarters of a billion years ago. The shorthand explanation is that while Italy is politically part of Europe, geographically it's an extension of the African tectonic plate, one of the major sub-layers of the Earth's crust that have floated and skittered into one another for hundreds of millions of years.
 ITALY AND MYANMAR
                   Italy lies near the fault line that exists between Eurasian and African tectonic plates. This area along the Apennine Mountains is tectonically and geologically complex. The Eurasia plate moves towards the northeast with respect to Africa at a rate of approximately 24 mm per year. Likewise, Myanmar lies to the east of the Sunda Trench, another hot spot for quakes. Both Italy and Myanmar are situated near areas where plates come together, and each has seen major earthquakes in the past.                        

25 August 2016   
                   It rained in Visakhapatnam for about an hour from 4 PM to 5 PM though it was sultering heat in the morning, but cleared in the afternoon around 2 PM. It also rained in Rajahmundry (it rained one hour), Vijayanagaram zillah (Rambadhrapuram, Dhattirajeru, Gajapathinagram, Bondapali, slight rain), Srikakulam (Hiramandal heavy rain), Prakasham zillah it rained slightly, West Godavari zillah totally it rained, Eluru, Tadepalligudem, Bhimavaram it rained, East Godavari Metta and agency areas it rained slightly, Jaggampeta, Gandepalli, Prattipadu, Kirlampudi, Eleswaram, Gangavaram Y. Ramvaram, Rajavominghi, Addathigala mandals it rained for an hour, while in Korukondala mandals six villages it rained vigorously, Krishna zillah received 14.4 mm other four mandals had sparing rins, while in Guntur zillah lost two days had rains continuously. 55 mandals Thursday till 8 AM about 18.8 mm rainfall was registered.
                  One tiller died due to fall of a thunderbolt.  Temperatures from 38 C slumped in the evening to 32.9 C. Since lost one month temperatures were around 38 C. Rayalseema had no rain.  

25 August 2016: 
                 The system, which MIT compares to a sponge, can heat water to 212 degrees under just the heat of the sun, and could be used for applications like sterilizing medical tools in settings without electricity. It even works on cloudy days, and a key point is that it does not need mirrors or lenses to help focus the sun’s energy.

CONJUNCTION VENUS AND JUPITER Aug 27, 2016
Fig.5 CONJUNCTION OF VENUS AND JUPITER 
ON 27 August 2016

                     During the August 2016 conjunction, Venus is emerging from behind the sun (superior conjunction).  Venus is only 22 degrees from the sun, setting 56 minutes after the sun, and before Nautical Twilight.  Jupiter is nearing its solar conjunction which is caused more by the earth’s revolution than Jupiter’s orbital movement.  The two planets are about 450 million miles apart, although they appear about 7′ (7 minutes= 0.10 degrees, much less than a full moon diameter) apart. All five bright planets were visible in the early evening, in early August. You might still catch all five if you look soon after sunset. Mercury and Venus follow the sun below the horizon before nightfall at northerly latitudes. They stay out longer as seen from Southern Hemisphere.
