                              It's known for its hot, dry summers and short, cool winters but not this year as Iraq was hit by a torrential rain and ice storm which led to meltdown in the war-torn country.  A frozen river of ice water is seen raging through the desert as these Iraqi men watch on in disbelief. The region - renowned for its arid climate - has been hit by ice storms, strong winds and heavy rain in recent days leading to the Iraqi government declaring a state of emergency. Emergency services may have experience of sand storms but they were left unprepared for the sudden onset of the icy downpour which left hospitals and governmental institutions swamped and buckling under the strain of demands. Iraqi residents reported hailstones the size of golf balls which rained down causing icy streams to feed into the swollen Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The clip shows huge chunks of ice moving at speed as the river of hail sweeps through a flat desert landscape. This is the second major freak weather episode to hit the country of Iraq since the summer.

                           NASA recently released a study suggesting that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is gaining more ice than it is losing, a finding that, at first blush, seems to contradict the idea of global warming. So, how can Antarctica be gaining ice mass in a warming world where ice sheets are collapsing and the melting is predicted to increase sea levels across the globe? It turns out that the two phenomena, a growing ice sheet and warming-related melting, are not mutually exclusive.

MOUNT EVEREST GLACIERS
                 Ponds on the surface of the Khumbu glacier in the Himalayas have expanded and joined together to form larger bodies of water. Climbers need to cross the glacier, including the treacherous Khumbu Icefall, to climb the mighty peak. The accelerated meltdown of glaciers in the region is causing concern against a backdrop of rising global temperatures. Scientists say the warning is the first of its kind for Khumbu, although other glaciers in the Himalayas have seen an increase in the number of lakes formed. Such newly formed glacial lakes can overflow causing flooding, and with it loss of life and damage downstream.

CANADA STONE BELLS 2000 years ago
                               The stones when rung rings out real music, they are present in Canada Montana area. Basalt rocks contain more iron the reason why they give out music when hit. Also the way in which they were assembled in the Congregates results in the musical tones when hit, but separated individually they won't give out the musical tones. About 2000 years ago these rocks were used for BELLS to produce the sounds.

SHOMPEN WOMEN OUTNUMBER MEN

                                    Kolkata:1st Nov 2015: Spoken language in Andaman & Nicobar Islands is known as Shompenese. The Shompen population would be between 200 and 300.  The Pandanus (a tropical plant found in the islands) whose fruits resemble the woody pineapple, is the staple food of Shompen. Four different groups in Nicobar Islands. But there are different subgroups. Compared to the number of men in the Shompen tribe, there are fewer women. Shompen distinct from four other PVGTs of A & N Islands, Jarawas, Great Andamanese, Onges and Sentinelese are the only tribe with Mongoloid features. The others have Negroid features.


El Nino surprise: Copiap: Nov 1st

            Chile's Atacama desert, the most arid in the world, this year bloomed, in the Huason region, with Yellows, Reds, Purples and Violet-Whites and other explosion of thousands of species of flowers, with intensity not seen in decades, in the past 40 or 50 years. El Nino hit particularly hard this year causing unusual rain fall in the world's driest desert. Report by a British E. Zannahand.   
  


HOUSTON (AP)

                   The death toll rose to six in Texas as more bodies were recovered on Saturday 28 Oct, after another band of strong storms and heavy rain spawned three tornadoes and dangerous flooding in the waterlogged state.It was the second day of turbulent weather in Texas, where at least four people died Friday in flood waters in central Texas. The storms and suspected tornadoes, which forecasters say were caused by an upper-level disturbance from Mexico, socked an already-sodden swath of Texas that was still drying out from the remnants of Hurricane Patricia.




CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)

                   Saturn's geyser-spouting moon Enceladus has a new portfolio, thanks to the Cassini spacecraft. NASA released its latest close-ups of the little icy moon Friday. The preliminary unprocessed views are from Cassini's flyby of Enceladus on Wednesday. The spacecraft zoomed right through the ocean world's erupting jet of water vapor and frozen particles. The U.S.-European spacecraft skimmed within 30 miles of the south-pole to get a good dousing.

China to launch satellites to probe DARK MATTER 

                                        A series of satellites would be launched by China, including a retrievable one, to probe DARK MATTER. The first of four satellites would be launched at the end of this year. It would observe the direction, energy and electric-charge of high-energy particles in space, in search of DARK MATTER. It would have widest observation spectrum, and highest energy resolution of any DARK MATTER  probe in  the world.

INDIA'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME
                     First stage heavy nuclear reactors fuelled with natural Uranium would produce plutonium. Second stage uses first stage Plutonium with natural Uranium. This would transmutes into more plutonium, with sufficient stock, thorium introduced to fuel cycle to convert it into uranium 233. In the final stage a mix of thorium and uranium fuels the reactor.
                     Thorium Technology: 1. Produces far less waste than present-day reactors.2. They burn up highly radioactive and long lasting minor actinides 3. the miniscule waste i.e., generated is toxic only for three to four hundred years. 4. Thorium reactors are cheaper since they have higher burnup. 5. Thorium reactors are more  proliferation-resistant and environment friendly than present rectors.  Stage 1 Heavy water reactors fuelled by natural uranium produce plutonium. Stage 2. Fuelled by a mix of plutonium and naturally uranium with sufficient stocks thorium is introduced to convert it into U-233. Stage 3. Mix of thorium and uranium fuels the reactors. Thorium transmutes to U-233 which powers the reactor.

Mystery of Voyager 1's Journey into Space Solve
 November 02, 2015 14:08 IST
                This means that while Voyager 1 did cross the heliopause in 2012, it is still travelling through this "muddied" magnetic field region and won't reach the "pristine" region of interstellar space until at least 2025, researchers said. "Our analysis confirms two things for the first time: that the centre of the IBEX ribbon is the direction of the interstellar magnetic field and, secondly, that Voyager 1 is now beyond the heliopause.

                  Despite the go-ahead from the centre to extend National Saffron Mission in Kashmir by two years, the growers in the saffron town here are worried complaining sharp decrease in its production this year. The growers said the total production this year has fallen to just 15 to 20 per cent of that it was two years back though it has slightly improved as compared to last year. Farooq Ahmad Dar, a grower here said he could not dig his fields properly this year due to the heavy downpour which resulted in sharp drop in the production. "In comparison to last year, the production has increased 5 to 7 per cent but overall scenario is quite grim. Most of the farmers agreed that last two years have seen dip in production due mainly to impact of the floods. Saffron produce fell down from 3.13kg per hectare last year to 2.50kg hectare this year. In 1996 hectares 5707 were cultivated. About 90 bore wells were sunk but need to be connected as yet. About 253 tube wells planned to irrigate Saffron land in Pulwama and Budgam districts.

A POT MAKER IN INDIA
                The pot maker in India is an ancient art and disciplined activity to replicate the Universal Creation, especially practiced during the time of Deepavali (Diwali) symbolic of destruction of the evil in the Universe. Enjoyment of the festival is also a reflection of the Universe with its splendour and infinity. The sparkling, vibrant with thunder and enormous sound of crackers and the  sky rocketing of various kinds of displays definitely points to the variety of happenings in the vast majority of Galaxies and the distant Quasars. The festival remained in India since ancient times and the epics do definitely describe the happenings of the life and its splendour in the Universe. There are two aspects intermingled, one is the pot making by the CREATOR known in India as a KUMARI, the second is the people at homes in India, to prepare the GLOWING DEEPALU with the oil and the Cotton buds embedded in the pot makers muddy crucibles, of special kind with a dive resembling, the Lord Shiva worship material. The glowing lights, in the small earthen pots, that decorate the entire house with the purpose of dissolving away the DARK, and presenting the Intellect, Knowledge and the Wisdom. which are representative of the Ganesh, Lakshmi and Sarasvati deities. The recent find of water, throughout the universe is a clear representation of Hindu philosophy that unfolds, a greater perspective of ancient thought. (I owe to my mother Mrs. Kotcherlakta Peramma Rangadhama Rao who instilled in me these thoughts in my school days during the year 1947).

EUROPE SHIVERING UNSEASONAL COLD
                                   Many parts of Europe are shivering due to an unseasonal cold snap which has gripped Poland, Germany, parts of Austria, Scotland and wales. Snow flurries are grounding flights and trapping hundreds of motorists In fact, temperatures in Scotland and Wales over the weekend reached record lows and were reported to be colder than the North Pole. The icy weather has disrupted flights, with Scotland being the hardest hit region on Monday as snow played havoc at three of its main airports: Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. Hundreds of motorists were trapped in their cars in Scotland and had to spend the night in a sports hall. Heavy snowfall and Arctic temperatures also caused travel chaos in Germany, where 125 flights were cancelled at Munich airport on Monday and many more delayed. In Poland many areas were covered in snow, causing traffic snarls and delays for commuters. The unusual weather has been caused by high pressure over Greenland and low pressure in the Baltic, forcing cold winds from the north-east across Europe.

Puducherry and its suburbs recorded 13.3 cm rainfall in the 24 hours ending 8:30 am on Monday. Low lying areas were inundated. Te deep depression crossed north Tamil Nadu near Puducherry at a maximum wind speed of 55 to 75kmph. It would pass through Tiruvannamalai and Husar, the surrounding areas would receive rain on Tuesday 10 November. Heavy to heavy rainfall due to the depression occurred at Anatapur, Kadaph, Krishna, Guntur, Nellore and praksham of coastal Andhra. It’s raining in Visakhapatnam since the 
.morning around 7am
TIRUPATI


         12cm rainfall lashed Tirumala, the abode of Sri Venkateswara, on Monday 9  November, due to deep depression in Bay of Bengal, which crossed the coast at Puducherry down south. Since Sunday night Tirumala, Tirupati and other areas of Chittoor district along with Nellore district was thrown out of normalcy. Ghat road disrupted by rock falls and emergency teams helped to remove the obstructions. Tirupati, Tiruchanoor, Chandhra giri, Srikalahasthi, Satyavedu and Madanpalle many low-lying areas covered with rain water and inundated. Tirumala recorded 12.1cm, Satyavedu 7.98cm, Puttur 6.88cm, Kduru and Kadappa 6.8cm, Shrikalahasthi 6.54cm, Nagari 6.44cm, Udayagiri 6.42cm, Pakala 6.34cm, Thottambedu 6.22cm, Tada, Sullurpeta, SHAR 5.74cm, and Tirupati 5cm recorded the rains. Ongole recorded just 1cm rainfall. Avanigaddha recorded 2cm rainfall.
Several people happy water bodies became full and for another 200days the waters would suffice. This would continue for next 48 hours in coastal districts of Andhra. All the seven hills were totally drenched due to rains. Chittoor and Nellore received maximum rainfall.

100% conversion of energy to light
            The colour of the converted light may be green, greenish yellow, pale red and wavelength may vary from 510nm to 670nm. Synchronous flashing is observed in species of firefly such as Pteroptyx malaccae in South East Asia and Photinus Carolinus in North America. In synchronous flashing thousands of fireflies blink precisely at the same time and with the same frequency. It is a definite wonderful show of nature. It may be seen in mangrove forests of South-East Asia round the year and Green Smoky Mountains of USA during June. In India, synchronous species of firefly Photinus pyralis may be found in Kaziranga National Park in Assam. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 50, No. 6 (Dec., 1990), pp. 1645-1662 Published by: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. A firefly blinks so the others are stimulated to do so, and some adjustable signal makes all the fireflies to fall in line with the rhythm of the group, when synchrony spreads throughout the group until all are flashing together. Amazing that it is 100% energy conversion to light emission!
