DETAILS

September 1, 2017 / 10:21 AM / an hour ago: MEXICO CITY: Tropical Storm Lidia lashed the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula with heavy rain and high winds as it barreled through the popular tourist resorts of Los Cabos on Thursday evening, Late on Thursday, Lidia was about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Cabo San Lucas, blowing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (105 kph), and moving north-northwest.

Sept 1, 2017: In an era of dire climate records the US and South Asia floods won't be the last from the US to India and China, human impact on the climate is likely to have made droughts and storms more severe – and the trend is only set to continue.
Sept 2, 2017: Simhachalam received 13.6 cm and other areas received 10 cm within two hours, rainfall. Downpour started on Wednesday night with thunderstorm till early hours of Thursday 31  August 2017. Venkatadhrinagar  108.5mm, M. V. P. colony 101.2mm, Madhavadhara Vuda colony 98.75mm while Narava received 104.5mm rainfall. Sunit Bhattachrjee explodes the Visakhapatnam city received 78.1mm and 60.2mm on August 29 and 30.

 Friday 01 September 2017 at 09:53,  UK:  Giant X-ray camera takes photos of atoms: 

The laser camera has started operating in its underground facility stretching 3.4km beneath the German city of Hamburg. An X-ray camera so powerful it can capture images of individual atoms and make movies of chemical reactions has begun operating today. The X-Ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) can flash 27,000 laser beams per second; each one a billion times brighter than that of conventional X-Ray sources, as X-rays have a wavelength of 0.8 nanometres, almost 500 times shorter than visible light. The powerful X-ray laser is generated from an electron beam directed through a special superconducting linear accelerator. In a 2.1km-long section of tunnel, the electron pulses are accelerated to near-light speed before entering a tunnel containing a 210m stretch of X-ray generating devices. It is here that the 17,290 permanent magnets with alternating poles, known as undulators, interact with the electron pulses. These undulators are used to bring the electrons into a "slalom" course and with every change of direction the electrons release extremely short-wavelength X-ray radiation, which intensifies along the length of the undulator stretch. 
Friday, September 1, 2017 - 06: A slight intensity earthquake of 3.4 magnitude on the Richter scale rocked Assam's Sonitpur district Thursday night. The earthquake took place at 11:27 pm and its epicentre was located at latitude 26.6 degree north and longitude 92.7 degree east.

2 Sept 2017: The US President will make his second visit to the storm-ravaged region on Saturday, travelling to flood-hit Houston, Texas, and Lake Charles, Louisiana.

September 2, 2017, 7:41 PM IST: Tropical Storm Lidia Lashes Mexico's Baja California; 4 Dead: Authorities said the death toll could rise over the weekend as emergency crews surveyed the damage in villages with ramshackle homes. The storm was centered about 70 miles (115 km) east-southeast of Punta Eugenia and was heading northwest at about 12 mph (19 kph). Lidia earlier spread rains over a broad swath of Mexico including the capital, where it was blamed for flooding.

Sept, 2, 2017: Tirumala had heavy rainfall on Saturday from 10 AM to 12 hours non-stop and temple nearby places and festival streets completely covered with water. Many pilgrims  suffered a lot. 

HISTORY OF INDIA

A cache of Roman gold and silver mintage as “eight coolie-loads”, at 20,000 coins per porter. Clearly India’s appetite for precious metals–and cash-only trade—go back a long way! The sheer abundance of coins (Vellalore in Tamil Nadu has yielded the most so far) shows that the balance of trade was in India’s favour—said to be to the tune of 60 million sesterces in Nero’s time! The Roman world imported 120 items from here, including pepper, indigo, sandalwood, muslin, beryl, ivory, glass beads, peacocks and even the famed south Indian ‘ukku’ steel. India wanted only 30 items, including coral, horses, wine and olive oil. In ancient times, the wine growing region for Rome was Tuscany, thanks to the Etruscan culture. So it is very possible that 2,000 years before “Super Tuscans” arrived in India, wines made from ancestors of the modern Sangiovese grape, tickled the palates of the ancient Indian elite. And perhaps olive oil—probably sourced from the Roman colonies of Hispania and North Africa—was massaged into many an aristocratic Indian limb at the time! Not only did South Indian rulers sent delegations to Roman emperors from Augustus and Trajan to Hadrian, Constantine and Justinian, there is evidence in Sangam literature that there were large communities of Roman merchants in places like Madura. All of which points to extensive links between India and Rome that began with trade but possibly deepened into something more permanent, at least for some of those foreigners.:

LIGHTNING DEATHS:
1. Sept. 2, 2017 6:31BST: France: A tent at the Vieux Canal festival in the northeast town of Azerailles was struck by lightning. A woman in her sixties and a 44-year-old man were said to be in serious condition after being directly hit by the lightning and suffering from burns in France.

                                                     Fig.4  Hurricane IRMA slams Caribbean.

Hurricane Irma Barrels Toward Caribbean, Southern United States: In preparation for the storm, the government of economically struggling Puerto Rico declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard on Monday. A Category 4 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale means sustained winds of 130-156 mph (209-251 kph) with "catastrophic" outcomes, including uprooted trees and downed power lines, water and electricity outages, and significant property damage causing uninhabitable conditions. Irma also threatens the U.S. East Coast and Florida, which declared a state of emergency on Monday night. The hurricane center expects Irma to reach southern Florida on Saturday. Irma, a Category 5 storm, made its first landfall in the Caribbean early Wednesday. The storm has maximum sustained winds of 185 mph, putting it near the highest on record. President Donald Trump declared emergencies in Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, while authorities in the Bahamas said they would evacuate six southern islands. Irma's path couldn't be precisely predicted. It is expected to pass near Puerto Rico sometime Wednesday, then move toward the Florida coast over the weekend. Southeast Florida could be in the eye of the storm by Sunday morning. Irma's sustained winds of 185 mph inched toward the highest on record.

SOLAR STORMS: The Solar storms that produce the Northern Lights may have been to blame for last year's stranding of 29 sperm whales on beaches in the UK and other countries around the North Sea. The high-energy particles released towards the Earth during a Solar storm "deform the Earth's magnetic field". These particles also produce the famous Northern Lights - and can interfere with communications systems, satellites and cause power blackouts. A few weeks before the whales washed up, a Norwegian measuring station near Shetland recorded changes in the magnetic field intensity and inclination in the area.

A tornado hit the aqua ponds near Akiveedu village of West Godavari district creating panic among people of the surrounding areas. The tornado, which appeared around 5.30 pm on Tuesday has lasted for over ten minutes. It's whirlwind covered nearly entire aqua ponds situated 2 km from Akiveedu village and lasted for ten minutes. Due to the tornado, huts on the ponds got damaged and fish crates flew all over the place due to water rising in a whirlpool. The village was hit by tornado only last week. Surprisingly neither IMD nor APSDRS were not aware of the incident before it's happening. If the tornado hit villages, causalities and damage to properties could have been more, fear villages. This is the third time tornado is hitting the area. Last week, tornado damaged a few huts on the fish ponds. Some villagers have captured the tornado on video.  Earlier last year during this season, tornado has hit the Akiveedu area. Tornadoes are now become common to the rice bowl district of Andhra Pradesh.

At least 15 dead as magnitude 8.2 quake rocks Mexico.  A powerful 8.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Mexico late on Thursday, killing at least 15 people and triggering a tsunami alert in what the president called the quake-prone country's biggest one in a century. The quake hit offshore in the Pacific at 11:49 pm (0449 GMT), about 100 km (60 miles) from the coastal town of Tonala, in far southern Chiapas state. It was a major earthquake in scale and magnitude, the strongest in the past 100 years. Tsunami expected in 3 hours time. The epicentre was 123 km (76 miles) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan in the southern state of Chiapas, at a revised depth of 43 miles. The quake struck at a depth of 69.7 km. A tsunami warning has been issued for Mexico, EL Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama. Initial waves between 0.3 to 0.7 metres (one to 2.2 feet) have been reported at Mexico’s Salina Cruz, Puerto Madero and Huatulco cities. Waves as high as three metres (almost 10 feet) could strike Mexico’s coast.

It is simple a linear process, the measurements should be perfect. For making wine, the jackfruit  bulbs are cut into small pieces, boiled and then ground. Sugar syrup is made separately and set aside. For every 2 kg of bulb, use about 500gms of sugar. After adding warm water, 3 litres, to the ground bulbs, sugar syrup and yeast is added for fermentation. This concoction is then kept in a mud pot at a dark place for 18 days. Finally, the top part of the liquid is filtered out for the wine. The CFTRI directed to use some minor corrections and adjust to improve the final product.

Incoming Pacific typhoon Doksuri, which is racing to the south of Hong Kong for a landfall over Vietnam, would make a qualitative change to the Indian monsoon during what is normally its last fortnight of active life.

15 Sept. 2017: Heavy rain and wind lashed Vietnam`s central coast Friday as Typhoon Doksuri made landfall, prompting mass evacuations as officials predicted it could be the most powerful storm in a decade.Trees were torn down and local authorities cut power in some areas to avoid accidents as residents who remained in their homes hunkered down.  The storm clocked 165 km per hour (102 miles per hour) winds before it reached the coast.
