ABSTRACT
Aug 1, 2018: Scientists discover 348-year-old radioactive molecule in space. astronomers have detected a radioactive molecule, believed to be spilled from a stellar explosion that occurred in the 17th century. A new star was last seen from Earth in 1670. The molecule, an isotope of aluminium monofluoride requires extremely powerful telescopes to witness what remains as it spins around 2,000 light years from the Earth. 01 August 2018, 09:19 AM: Scientists discover 348-year-old radioactive molecule in space. astronomers have detected a radioactive molecule, believed to be spilled from a stellar explosion that occurred in the 17th century.

At least with an hour of rainfall, the three circular rings have been covered. I could follow them since the flash of lightning was distinctly visible and also the thunders were very hefty. Almost three circular rings have happened and its the first time I could sense this phenomenon may be it was happening all the time whenever such heavy showers of rain occur in Visakhapatnam. What is more fascinating is that a lightning flash occurred near to my residence and I could see the flash of light through my bedroom window falling down on to the road, but a servant said it fell in the hospital area. Perhaps it was multiple flashes. It was the first time in my life to notice the "flash of lightning" through my window, but it just passed on to the ground with no immediate destruction or damaged to the people on the road.

Aug 01, 2018, 09:23 AM IST: In a recent study, researchers have generated a model that provides a clear view of the geologic processes that occurred about 50 million years ago, when the Indian and Asian tectonic plates collided under the Tibetan plateau. According to Xiaodong Song, a geology professor at the University of Illinois and co-author of the new study, "The continental collision between the Indian and Asian tectonic plates shaped the landscape of East Asia, producing some of the deadliest earthquakes in the world." Song and his colleagues reveal that the upper mantle layer of the Indian tectonic plate appears to be torn into four pieces that dive under Asia, each at a different angle and distance from the origin of the tear.
01 August 2018, 09:19 AM: Scientists discover 348-year-old radioactive molecule in space. astronomers have detected a radioactive molecule, believed to be spilled from a stellar explosion that occurred in the 17th century.

August 4, 2018; 3:04 pm: New York: The extrasolar object, about a dozen times more massive than Jupiter, is located some 20 light-years from Earth. This object is right at the boundary between a planet and a brown dwarf, or ‘failed star,’ and is giving us some surprises that can potentially help us understand magnetic processes on both stars and planets. ‘Rogue’ extrasolar planetary-mass object detected. The object was originally detected in 2016 as one of five brown dwarfs the scientists studied with the VLA to gain new knowledge about magnetic fields. The strange object, called SIMP J01365663+0933473, has a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s, according to the study published. an independent team of scientists discovered that SIMP J01365663+0933473 was part of a very young group of stars. Its young age meant that it was in fact so much less massive that it could be a free-floating planet, only 12.7 times more massive than Jupiter, with a radius 1.22 times that of Jupiter.

Aug 5, 2018, 11:07 am IST: Record-breaking Bluebird jet boat floats again after 51 years. Campbell had already set eight land and water speed records when he attempted to break his own 276.3 mph (445 kph) water-speed record on January 4, 1967 on Coniston Water in northwest England’s Lake District. The jet-powered Bluebird roared past 300 mph (482 kph) before it vaulted into the air, flipped and crashed into the lake, breaking in two and killing the 45-year-old Campbell. It was 34 years before divers managed to raise the Bluebird’s wreckage from the bottom of 150-foot (45-meter) deep lake in March 2001.
Aug 15, 2016: Dutch designer Jalila Essaïdi has been able to recycle cow manure and turn it into several materials including the bio-textile. The eco-friendly fabric is called Mestic. Using a new technique she can make plastic, textile and paper out of cow dung. The designer presented her own clothing line named Mestic made with animal excrement. Essaidi has her own laboratorium at Strijp-T in Eindhoven, het BioArtLab. She is already well known for her bulletproof skin, for which there has been worldwide interest. Making Mestic involves first treating manure at its farm of origin, which requires separating the urine from the feces, a process Essaidi's team is still working on. Once the right components of the waste are extracted, they're taken to the lab to chemically break them down into high-grade bio-plastic and cellulose pulp. With these raw materials, almost anything is possible, from plastic plates to couture dresses. Essaidi and her team are working toward creating a product that can be extruded through a 3-D printer, and they're even planning to build a bridge out of manure-based material.

8 Aug 2018: Intense waves spotted coming out of Jupiter's moon Ganymede The "chrous waves" are a million times more powerful than they are on Earth, and could have disastrous effects on spacecraft. On Earth, listening to electromagnetic waves around the planet is something like the soft chirpsing of birds in the morning, which gives chorus waves their name. They can cause spectacular polar lights but can also create "killer" electrons that can damage spacecraft. The scientists found waves around Jupiter's moon that are a million times more powerful than they are down on our planet, and yet more that are 100 times more intense around Europa. The discovery was made using the Galileo Probe spacecraft, which undertook a comprehensive survey of Jupiter's wave environment.
Aug 8, 2018 10:19 IST: Russian meteor found made of diamond-like alien material never seen on Earth. The material is hard, almost as hard as a diamond that has never been seen before on Earth. Researchers say that 98 percent of the meteorite is made up of kamacite, an alloy of iron and nickel. This alloy is made of nearly 90 to 95 percent iron and about 5 to 10 percent nickel. It is formed in space and only found in its natural state in meteors, notes a report by LiveScience. The remaining 1 to 2 percent of the Uakit meteorite was found to be made of about a dozen minerals that are known to have formed only in space. The composition of this meteorite suggests that it was formed under the extreme heat of well over 1,000C, say the researchers. On further study, researchers found the uakitite as minuscule grains in the rock, no larger than 5 micrometers, less than 25 times the size of a grain of sand. The quantity of Uakitite was so small that scientists could not even accurately put together all of its properties.
Mathematical inspiration: Central Asia was a world center of learning for centuries, and Khiva was no exception. Abū ‘Abdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā Al-Khwārizm, a Persian scholar born around 780, is sometimes called the “grandfather of computer science” and is credited with popularising the use of the decimal point. In fact, the word “algebra” comes from his algebraic mathematical treatise, called Hisab al-Jabr w'al-muqabala (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and alancing). His legacy can be seen in the statue erected in the west gate.
Aug 09, 2018: 15 dead in Kerala rains. Idukki district remained the worst affected with 10 deaths, of which five from one family lost their lives after their house caved in due to a mudslide.

10 Aug, 2018: In the afternoon from 2:55PM to 3:25PM it rained heavily in Visakhapatnam. But again from 4:05 PM to 5PM it rained with thunders and I have noticed that the thunder lightning was moving in a circular fashion around the Maharanipeta Hilly region possibly also the Siripuram Hill. An unusual rain scenario, rotating about three times, around Maharanipeta, Siripuram area, via the coast back to Maharanipeta and a Reddish flash of extended lightning over 50 feet at the end. At least with an hour of rainfall, the three circular rings have been covered by the thunders and lightning. I could follow them since the flash of lightning was distinctly visible and also the thunders were very hefty. Almost three circular rings have happened and its the first time I could sense this phenomenon may be it was happening all the time whenever such heavy showers of rain occur in Visakhapatnam. What is more fascinating is that a lightning flash occurred near to my residence and I could see the flash of light through my bedroom window falling down on to the road, but a servant said it fell in the hospital area. It was an extended lightning spread over a sleeky length of about 50 feet. Perhaps it was multiple flashes. It was the first time in my life to notice the "flash of lightning" through my window, but it just passed on to the ground with no immediate destruction or damaged to the people on the road. It was a little reddish but not definitely white as a lightning would appear. I don't think that I have closed my eyes since it was so sudden and mesmerizing me. In fact, people busy there on the road, who have felt it but no mishap. It is an amazing flash of light I could slashing down into the earth at my window, inside the tube light, flashed hardly a microsecond, and I felt they got all damaged. But now that at 5.55PM when the power was on I am surprised that no damage at all. Possibly it was a flash of lightning from the thunder it went into the Earth in multiple forms over a width of about 50 feet. Heavy rain on Friday, brings Visakhapatnam, 7.2cm, Peda Waltair, Maddilapalem received 6.5cm to 7cm, Vijayawada 6.4cm, and Guntur 5.9cm and other agency areas to a grinding halt.

Fig.1 Raising sea waves to 100 feet Bermuda Triangle
Bermuda Triangle mystery revealed, making it gasping that 100 feet raising sea waves, extending from Miami to Puerto Rico and Bermuda, total area about 4,40,000 mile in North Atlantic near Florida. Rouge waves were observed first by satellites off South African Coast in 1997. In India, an oil tanker has disappeared off Mumbai in 1976. Storms from three different directions meet to create conditions for a rogue wave. These are from North, South and additionally from Florida. In 1918 USS Cyclops went missing in this area. Large storm waves of 100 feet height could have wrecked the fateful ships. Currents and wind allow extreme storm waves to form. These waves cannot be predicted beforehand by seafarers.

August 4, 2018, 07:50am ET: Our universe is teeming with invisible light. Beyond the visible spectrum, space is a colorful mess of radio signals and microwaves fired off by flaring "suns," collapsing stars, crackling magnetic fields, roiling dust clouds and seething black holes. Then, there's the light nobody understands, mysterious, ultra-strong sparks of energy zipping billions of light-years across the universe from unknown origins, for unknown reasons. Puzzling pulses like these are sometimes called fast radio bursts (FRBs), because they may last just a few milliseconds. On the morning of July 25, one such burst of mysterious energy whizzed past a new array of radio telescopes nestled in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, registering one of the rarest radio frequencies ever detected.

This object is right at the boundary between a planet and a brown dwarf, or ‘failed star,’ and is giving us some surprises that can potentially help us understand magnetic processes on both stars and planets. ‘Rogue’ extrasolar planetary-mass object detected. The object was originally detected in 2016 as one of five brown dwarfs the scientists studied with the VLA to gain new knowledge about magnetic fields. The strange object, called SIMP J01365663+0933473, has a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s, according to the study published. an independent team of scientists discovered that SIMP J01365663+0933473 was part of a very young group of stars. Its young age meant that it was in fact so much less massive that it could be a free-floating planet, only 12.7 times more massive than Jupiter, with a radius 1.22 times that of Jupiter.

05 August 2018, 01:31 PM: Although strontium isotope ratios alone cannot distinguish between places with similar values, this connection suggests west Wales as the most likely origin of at least some of these people. While the Welsh connection was known for the stones, the study shows that people were also moving between west Wales and Wessex in the Late Neolithic, and that some of their remains were buried at Stonehenge. The results emphasize the importance of inter-regional connections involving the movement of both materials and people in the construction and use of Stonehenge, providing rare insight into the large scale of contacts and exchanges in the Neolithic, as early as 5,000 years ago. The recent discovery that some biological information survives the high temperatures reached during cremation (up to 1,000C) offered us the exciting possibility to finally study the origin of those buried at Stonehenge,

Images from across Europe and parts of Asia show hot and bothered people dunking their feet in buckets of ice and wading into the sea as sweltering temperatures put some areas on red alert. Two-thirds of France is on an orange heatwave alert after temperatures soared in Europe. Temperatures are expected to cross 40C in the country, leaving people hot and bothered. In Nice, people are standing in fountains to cool off from this scorching heat. The ongoing heat wave has lowered water levels of rivers in Germany. In one instance, dangerous World War II munitions have been exposed near the Elbe river due to the lowering of the levels. The German national weather agency said unusually warm temperatures began in April, the warmest April on record. May was also a record-breaker, while June and July remained exceptionally warm. July was the driest in 60 years and the fourth-warmest on record, tying 2010. London too is sweltering in this heat wave. UK's weatherman has said that the summer heat wave is being caused by high pressure over the UK and warm air flooding in from Europe. There are major concerns over the heat as 220 people have been admitted to hospital due to sunburn over the last two months alone. he heat has also resulted in forest fires in places such as Sweden and Finland. Finland's August average is 19C but temperatures approached 30C this week. People fill bottles with water at the Barcaccia fountain in Spain Square as temperature soars throughout the country, in Rome, Italy. Italy too is in the grip of the first extended heat wave of summer, with the government placing 12 cities on 'red alert' for heat-related health risks. Many other cities in the country were placed on an orange or level 2 alert. People cool off at a weir of the Berounka river in the village of Dobrichovice, near Prague, Czech Republic. The heatwave hitting Prague is affecting not only residents but also the animals in the zoo. The city is helping by watering down the streets, while the zoo has its own protocols for animals that are not native to warm climates. July 31 was the hottest day so far of the year in the Czech Republic, with 37.6 degrees recorded in Řež near Prague. A man sits in an alley of a slum area during a hot day in Seoul, South Korea.

6 Aug 2018: Ancient and rare blue crystals from the dawn of the solar system help confirm that the new-born sun was violently active, a new study reports. Astronomers previously found that stars are typically incredibly energetic very early in their evolution. Scientists had suspected the same was true of the sun after it was born about 4.6 billion years ago. The sun was very active in its early life, it had more eruptions and gave off a more intense stream of charged particles.Aug 15, 2016: Dutch designer Jalila Essaïdi has been able to recycle cow manure and turn it into several materials including the bio-textile. The eco-friendly fabric is called Mestic. Using a new technique she can make plastic, textile and paper out of cow dung. The designer presented her own clothing line named Mestic made with animal excrement. Essaidi has her own laboratorium at Strijp-T in Eindhoven, het BioArtLab. She is already well known for her bulletproof skin, for which there has been worldwide interest. Making Mestic involves first treating manure at its farm of origin, which requires separating the urine from the feces, a process Essaidi's team is still working on. Once the right components of the waste are extracted, they're taken to the lab to chemically break them down into high-grade bio-plastic and cellulose pulp. With these raw materials, almost anything is possible, from plastic plates to couture dresses. Essaidi and her team are working toward creating a product that can be extruded through a 3-D printer, and they're even planning to build a bridge out of manure-based material.

8 Aug 2018: Intense waves spotted coming out of Jupiter's moon Ganymede The "chrous waves" are a million times more powerful than they are on Earth, and could have disastrous effects on spacecraft. On Earth, listening to electromagnetic waves around the planet is something like the soft chirpsing of birds in the morning, which gives chorus waves their name. They can cause spectacular polar lights but can also create "killer" electrons that can damage spacecraft. The scientists found waves around Jupiter's moon that are a million times more powerful than they are down on our planet, and yet more that are 100 times more intense around Europa. The discovery was made using the Galileo Probe spacecraft, which undertook a comprehensive survey of Jupiter's wave environment.
Aug 8, 2018 10:19 IST: Russian meteor found made of diamond-like alien material never seen on Earth. The material is hard, almost as hard as a diamond that has never been seen before on Earth. Researchers say that 98 percent of the meteorite is made up of kamacite, an alloy of iron and nickel. This alloy is made of nearly 90 to 95 percent iron and about 5 to 10 percent nickel. It is formed in space and only found in its natural state in meteors, notes a report by LiveScience. The remaining 1 to 2 percent of the Uakit meteorite was found to be made of about a dozen minerals that are known to have formed only in space. The composition of this meteorite suggests that it was formed under the extreme heat of well over 1,000C, say the researchers. On further study, researchers found the uakitite as minuscule grains in the rock, no larger than 5 micrometers, less than 25 times the size of a grain of sand. The quantity of Uakitite was so small that scientists could not even accurately put together all of its properties.
Mathematical inspiration: Central Asia was a world center of learning for centuries, and Khiva was no exception. Abū ‘Abdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā Al-Khwārizm, a Persian scholar born around 780, is sometimes called the “grandfather of computer science” and is credited with popularising the use of the decimal point. In fact, the word “algebra” comes from his algebraic mathematical treatise, called Hisab al-Jabr w'al-muqabala (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and alancing). His legacy can be seen in the statue erected in the west gate.

Fig.5 Human-Elephant conflict in Odisha
due to fodder shortage.
Human-elephant Conflict Escalates to a New High in Odisha as Fodder Shortage Drives Herds into Villages. It is possible that the elephants, who have entered villages for stored food like paddy inside huts, are still hungry and may attack in frustration.thanks to the rapid dwindling of fodder and drying up of water bodies in the core areas in the state. Large-scale tree-felling and the unplanned industrial activities in the forest vicinity have also pushed the elephants to nearby villages for the search of food and water in the state, causing serious problems for both human and elephants. The conflict has become acuter recently, as 14 elephants were killed by various reasons including disease, train mishaps etc. since April. Thirty-five human-elephant encounters have taken place during this period, resulting in loss of lives of 26 villagers, an all-time high casualty in the state.

10 Aug, 2018: In the afternoon from 2:55PM to 3:25PM it rained heavily in Visakhapatnam. But again from 4:05 PM to 5PM it rained with thunders and I have noticed that the thunder lightning was moving in a circular fashion around the Maharanipeta Hilly region possibly also the Siripuram Hill. An unusual rain scenario, rotating about three times, around Maharanipeta, Siripuram area, via the coast back to Maharanipeta and a Reddish flash of extended lightning over 50 feet at the end. At least with an hour of rainfall, the three circular rings have been covered by the thunders and lightning. I could follow them since the flash of lightning was distinctly visible and also the thunders were very hefty. Almost three circular rings have happened and its the first time I could sense this phenomenon may be it was happening all the time whenever such heavy showers of rain occur in Visakhapatnam. What is more fascinating is that a lightning flash occurred near to my residence and I could see the flash of light through my bedroom window falling down on to the road, but a servant said it fell in the hospital area. It was an extended lightning spread over a sleeky length of about 50 feet. Perhaps it was multiple flashes. It was the first time in my life to notice the "flash of lightning" through my window, but it just passed on to the ground with no immediate destruction or damaged to the people on the road. It was a little reddish but not definitely white as a lightning would appear. I don't think that I have closed my eyes since it was so sudden and mesmerizing me. In fact, people busy there on the road, who have felt it but no mishap. It is an amazing flash of light I could slashing down into the earth at my window, inside the tube light, flashed hardly a microsecond, and I felt they got all damaged. But now that at 5.55PM when the power was on I am surprised that no damage at all. Possibly it was a flash of lightning from the thunder it went into the Earth in multiple forms over a width of about 50 feet. Heavy rain on Friday, brings Visakhapatnam, 7.2cm, Peda Waltair, Maddilapalem received 6.5cm to 7cm, Vijayawada 6.4cm, and Guntur 5.9cm and other agency areas to a grinding halt.

She first told me to watch the bright meteors splashing on earth and said they carry with them the new life to be born on earth eventually. The brighter the meteors the vivid and intelligent people would be born. The recent finding of water on Mars interior and on Asteroids supports the speculation of life worldwide distributed randomly! It would be a good idea to capture the livingness in Asteroids and revive the late life!!! *******************************
