ABSTRACT
Of Dance, Mathematics and Science lectures by demonstrations revealing how one connect dance with geometry and algebra presented by the Bharatanatyam exponent Rajeswari Sainath. She was in Visakhapatnam and her recent discovery is the study of neuro-biology of dance and how neurological circuits affect the MRI scan. Cotopaxi volcano sent ash waves shooting more than 5km in the sky on Friday, 14th August, with a fine gray powder. 17th August 2015: Acharya Dev Vrat who became first Governor of Himachal Pradesh, took the oath of the office in Sanskrit which highlighted his Gurukul moorings. On a single day it rained 74.5cm at Masinram on Wednesday, 19th August 2015, the highest record to date over the previous Chirpunji last three days 150cm and June total rain 478cm.

FLORIDA FLOODS ERIKA STORM
The governor of Florida
declared a state of emergency Friday ahead of Tropical Storm Erika, which has
killed at least 20 people as it rakes the Caribbean. Gov. Rick Scott said the
storm constitutes a "severe threat." It is forecast to hit Florida on
Monday 24th August, but it's not clear how strong the storm will be. "We've got
concerns all across the state now because it's going to be coming clear across
the state," Scott told reporters. He spoke soon after forecasters said
ERIKA was likely to strike the southern tip of Florida before traveling north
of Tampa. Erika may not be a tropical storm by then. The National Hurricane
Centre said in a 5 p.m. Friday forecast that it is expected to weaken over the
next 48 hours, and could be downgraded to a tropical depression by Saturday 29th August.
The storm was bringing heavy rains and winds to the Dominican Republic and was
95 miles west-southwest of Santo Domingo, the Hurricane Centre said. Maximum
sustained winds were 50 mph.

TWIN NEBULAE COLORED 26th August 2015
These cosmic clouds are enormous jets of star stuff, streaming off into space at speeds in excess of 600,000 miles per hour. The two stars in this pair each have around the same mass as the Sun, ranging from 0.6 to 1.0 solar masses for the smaller star, and from 1.0 to 1.4 solar masses for its larger companion. The larger star is approaching the end of its days and has already ejected its outer layers of gas into space, whereas its partner is further evolved, and is a small white Dwarf. Within the wings, starting from the star system and extending horizontally outwards like veins are two faint blue patches. Although these may seem subtle in comparison to the nebula’s rainbow colours, these are actually violent twin jets streaming out into space, at speeds in excess of one million kilometres per hour. This is a phenomenon that is another consequence of the binary system at the heart of the nebula. These jets slowly change their orientation, precessing across the lobes as they are pulled by the wayward gravity of the binary.
An amalgam of ghostly greens, blues and reds burst forth from the centre of a bright white light, diamond-like in shape. The green emissions split off into opposite directions, forming two lobes shaped like butterfly wings. Inside, they house kaleidoscopic jet streams. As the lobes extend outwards into the vastness of space, the colours fade against the black. The Twin Jet Nebula, or cosmic butterfly, is the subject of a new photo captured by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It lies in the Ophiuchus constellation and is 2,000 light-years away.
EPILOGUE
The author feels that the weather phenomenon world over during the week from Saturday 22nd to Friday 28th August is really peculiar with the sporadic Heavy Rains, Earthquakes, bird migrations, colossal human strikes, agitations, political up-heave's and sporadic acts of animals indicative of world order disturbance involving human life and as well of other living creatures. The week is particularly significant of the world-wide disturbance of unprecedented nature.
USA DROUGHT 2015
Dt.31st August 2015: OKIEVILLE, Calif. (AP): People living in this
dusty neighborhood called Okieville at the heart of California's Central Valley
know the harsh reality of drought. Many of their wells have dried up, so some
neighbors rig lines from house to house to share water from the remaining wells
deep enough to hit water. Others benefit from state drought relief that pays
for trucked-in water to fill tanks. Miles of the nation's most productive farms
surround Okieville, a neighbourhood of about 100 homes named for refugees who
came west from Oklahoma during the 1930s Dust Bowl, but many residents come
home at night after working in the fields and wonder if they'll be able to take
a shower or flush their toilet. Despite these challenges, people in Okieville
are proud to call it home. Rather than moving out, they're coming together.
WATER DEPLETION AT 26 Villages
of Northern Barrow
More than 3.5 trillion tons of
water have melted off of Alaska's glaciers since 1959, when Alaska first became
a state, studies show, enough to fill more than 1 billion Olympic-sized pools. The
crucial, coast-hugging sea ice that protects villages from storms and makes
hunting easier is dwindling in summer and is now absent each year a month
longer than it was in the 1970s, other studies find. The Army Corps of
Engineers identified 26 villages where erosion linked to sea ice loss threatens
the communities' very existence. Permafrost is thawing more often as the ground
warms, so as the ground oozes, roads, pipelines and houses' foundations tilt
and shift, sometimes enough to cause homes to be abandoned. In far northern
Barrow, the upper part of the ground is 7 degrees warmer than it was in the
late 1950s and getting closer to the melt point in the summer, data shows. And
scientists fear the thawing permafrost will unleash large amounts of trapped
greenhouse gases and speed up worldwide warming.
