                                         Fig.1  Giant Blue Hole with Coral Colonies

The giant blue hole in the Great Barrier Reef is a home to stunning healthy coral colonies. Gaskell discovered a giant blue hole in the famous reef and recently he dived 65 feet down into the hole and found out stunning healthy coral colonies. This is a rare discovery, especially, when the environmentalists said that one of the natural wonders of the world was severely damaged by the climate change. This hole was deeper and almost perfectly circular. We dived down to just over 20m yesterday, before hitting bare sediment, that slowly sloped towards the centre. Again it was great to see big healthy coral colonies.
31 Oct. 2017:  The Congress Party on Tuesday hailed the Uttar Pradesh Government's decision to introduce NCERT books in Madrasas across the state.
1 November 2017: Reuters:- From January to September, the curtailment for wind power across China dropped 6.7 percentage points from the same period last year to 12 percent, while wasted solar power fell 3.8 percentage points from a year ago to 5.6 percent. Despite some improvement, the amount of electricity that failed to connect to the grid remains significant in the western parts of the country, with almost a quarter of solar and a third of wind power lost in Gansu province. The government has set targets for the amount of renewable power that should reach the grid to resolve the problem of energy going to waste, one of the country's biggest challenges in its clean energy campaign.  Installed renewable power capacity reached 630 gigawatts (GW) by the end of September, with hydropower capacity at 339 GW, wind power at 157 GW, solar power at 120 GW and biomass energy at 14.23 GW.

November 1, 2017. At least 13 people  were killed when an electricity transformer exploded outside a wedding ceremony in western India. Dozens of guests had assembled for the ceremony outside a family home in the western state of Rajasthan when the transformer exploded, spewing hot oil and metal shards. Four people died on the spot. We are ascertaining the cause of the blast several others were being treated for severe burns after the disaster.
November 1, 2017: India clears $3.2 billion purchase of naval choppers. November 1, 2017: Washington, Of these 20 “new” worlds, many orbit stars not unlike the Sun. Of these, the planet with the longest orbit has a whopping 395 Earth-day year, while the shortest circles its star in 18 Earth-days. Other habitable planets found around much smaller stars typically have much shorter “years” than what was found within this Kepler data. The planet with a 395 Earth-day “year,” called KOI-7923.01, seems at first glance Earth-like. With a star similar to our own, and a location within the habitable zone, scientists agree that, of these 20 discovered planets, this candidate is the most likely to have liquid water and support significant life-forms.

November 2, 2017: This Thangka restorer is the force behind an isolated monastery museum in Ladakh. Matho Monastery in Ladkah is home to a rare collection of 600-year-old Thangka paintings and a potpourri of artefacts from the trans-Himalayan region. Founded in 1401 by Lama Dugpa Dorje, the Matho Gompa (monastery) is the only one in Ladakh that belongs to the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism. Located 26 km southeast of the city of Leh, the gompa is popular among tourists for its annual Oracle Matho Nagrang Festival, held on the 14 and 15 days of the first month of the Tibetan calendar. On the day of the festival, the monks come down to the village dressed in elaborate gears and masks, and two among them are said to be possessed by “rongtsan” or oracles who predict the future of the villagers.

November 03, 2017 10:22: 10 hours of relentless rain drowns Chennai. Torrential overnight rains for about 10 hours brought Chennai and neighbouring districts of Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur to a grinding halt, paralysing normal life completely.

4 Nov. 2017: There was a heavy wind in the night from about 1 AM to early morning up to 7 AM. Gravity waves have been observed in the morning around the Sunrise time. Due to strong surface winds from the North-East direction speeds reaching 45 to 50kmph were along the city Visakhapatnam. Through out the day the low wind has persisted.
4 Nov. 2017: Great pyramid in Egypt has a large void in the middle of the pyramid where it laid in for 4500 years untouched. Discovered above 30 meters from the Grand Gallery, has 50 meters long eight meters high and around a meter wide. Completed in 2550 BC. Image of inside pyramid were made using particles fired from space. Cosmic particles penetrate the rockin. Cosmic ray detectors (Muons) detected, placed within the great pyramid picked up subatomic particles, as they passed through the layers of stone, allowing mapping the interior without breaking the walls. What is in side this cavity possibly precious artifacts.
4 and 5 November 2017: Rains lashed Chennai, on Thursday night with a heavy downpour recorded as 30cm fall and Friday morning from 8.30 AM to 11.30PM between 8cm to 20cm. Nungambakkam and Meenambakkam received 6cm rainfall each. In 2015 November 16, it rained 24.6cm,and November 24,1976 recorded 45.2cm.
5 Nov.2017: Nellore and Chittoor expected to have heavy rains but in isolated places. A fresh low-pressure area is likely to develop over Andaman Sea by Nov.7. This is the one existing in addition to the two low-pressure areas in southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu over Gulf of Siam and Malay Peninsula coast. Throughout the day the low wind has persisted. Cloudy weather in Visakhapatnam sustained since the morning with heavy clouds.

Australia NOVEMBER 20, 201711:32 AM: New Caledonia struck by massive earthquake. A MASSIVE earthquake measuring 7.3 has struck off the coast of New Caledonia at a shallow depth of 10 km, and 82 km to the east of the lightly populated Loyalty Islands triggering a widespread tsunami alert. Hazardous tsunami waves from this earthquake are possible within 300 km of the epicenter along the coasts of Vanuatu and New Caledonia. The agency says waves as high as 1 meter above the high-tide mark are forecast to hit New Caledonia and smaller waves are expected in Vanuatu. It says the actual size of the waves will vary depending on the coastline, with barrier reefs reducing wave height, and warned that the initial wave may not be the largest. Powerful earthquake on Iran-Iraq border kills over 400 and injures many.MORE than 400 people have been killed and many injured after a powerful earthquake hit the border of Iran and Iraq.

Fig.6 A lost interstellar asteroid has entered the solar system after wandering between the stars for hundreds of millions of years, scientists believe. The dark red object named Oumuamua, is about 400 meters (1,312 ft) long, scientists reported in the journal Nature. It is the first space rock from outside the solar system ever observed by astronomers. A telescope in Hawaii designed to spot Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) spotted the asteroid on 19 October as a faint point of light moving in the sky. Moving at 95,000 km per hour (59,030 mph), Oumuamua was at first thought to have travelled from the bright star Vega, 25 light years away in the northern constellation of Lyra.
But Vega was nowhere near its current position 300,000 years ago, when its journey would have started.

Arunachal Pradesh, the land of rising sun, is seemingly at the receiving end from across the border. Siang river, considered the lifeline of the state, is turning black and muddy at various places and locals suspect China's role behind this phenomenon.

ABSTRACT
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today (16 October) commissioned the indigenously-built anti-submarine warfare stealth corvette INS Kiltan at the Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam.16 Oct. 2017: Hurricane Ophelia: Strong 80-miles-per-hour winds are likely in coastal areas of England, Wales and Ireland, when Hurricane Ophelia is expected to reach the British Isles towards its tail end. The Category 3 storm will bring high temperatures of around 25C. The Mango trees were sunk in the hole 17 Oct. 2017: formed in Gudevadlapalli in Kadapa Zillah on Tuesday. 17 Oct. 2017: Mild Tremors in Jeedipalli: A few days ago similar tremors were experienced that lasted only few seconds. Four villages felt tremors in Beluguppa and Uravakonda with damages to houses and roads.17 Oct. 2017: Srisailam was recorded as 2,21,196 cusecs at 1 PM on Oct. 17, when eight crest gates of the project were open for 10 feet height each and discharge continued about 4 hrs, Last one closed at 6 PM on Oct 19, dropping inflow recorded at 49,500 cusecs at 9PM.20 Oct. 2017: Sibang, Aceh (ANTARA News): An earthquake measuring 5 on the Richter scale jolted Simeule district in the Indonesian westernmost province of Aceh. The earthquake which struck the district at 4:43 a.m. West Indonesia Standard Time (WIB). The epicentre of the earthquake was located at 2.56 degrees northern latitude and 95.83 eastern longitude at a depth of 25 km, and some 23 km southwest of Simeulue.  22 Oct. 2017: Slow light: When light travels through a medium, the refractive index reduces the speed of the light. By adjusting the refractive index light can be slowed down to almost a walking pace. Research shows nanotechnology with slow light can be useful to processing and opto-electronics. 22 Oct. 2017: Activated Jamun powder can be reused up to five times by heating it to 50C to remove fluoride from water [Published in Jour. of Envir. Chem. Engineering]. 22 Oct. 2017: Saudi Arabia: Hundreds of huge and mysterious stone structures have been found on old lava domes in a remote desert in Saudi Arabia, discovered around 400 such mysterious stones. The structures dating back thousands of years are located in the volcanic field of Harrat Khaybar, north of Medina in Saudi Arabia. The formations are called the "gates". The longest gate was 1,600 feet long. Most were between 160 and 500 feet long. They were angular and wheel-like structures over lava field or harrat. There were walls of stones stacked about 3 feet height. They have been built about 3000 to 9000 years ago by Nomadic tribes. Oct.23: The typhoon, with an atmospheric pressure of 950 hectopascals at its centre and packing powerful winds of up to 198kph, hit the Shizuoka prefecture on Honshu island. Mie prefecture was also hard hit, with the powerful storm dumping 700 mm of rain through the same period, which also caused extensive flooding in parts of Nara prefecture. Oct 24, 2017:Nashik and Pune regions which supply a major chunk of green vegetables to Mumbai have been hit by the heavy rainfall in the past few days, Vegetable prices soar due to poor supply & unseasonal rainfall in Mumbai. Price raise of vegetables in Visakhapatnam since 24 Oct.. October 24, 2017 18:35: Strong 6.7 Earthquake Hits Indonesia, No Tsunami Warning. The quake hit East Nusa Tenggara province about 318 km northwest of the provincial capital Kupang at a depth of 549 km. October 24, 2017 19:56:The unseasonal heat this year in the month of October has also deterred a lot of domestic tourists who could have otherwise visited Agra in the first couple of weeks of October, especially in the long Diwali weekend. 25 October 2017: BANGKOK (AP) After enduring relentless tropical heat by day and torrential downpours at night. 26 Oct 2017: ROME The Italian cities of Milan and Turin have been hard hit by smog in recent days, with officials reporting spikes in the concentration of fine particulate matter in the air and pressing for more measures to curb emissions. Oct 27, 2017, LONDON: A 'swarm' of earthquakes will hit Britain and Europe on a day in November due to a major cosmic activity, a researcher has warned. November 19 will witness a series of quakes hitting the continent which would be felt in all major European centres including London.October 28, 2017 01:29 IST: The Washington Post: Space Rock From Another Star Is Spotted In Our Solar System: The asteroid is about 400 meters across and moving at a clip of nearly 27 miles a second. October 28, 2017: Typhoon Saola brings heavy rain in southern Japan. The storm came less than a week after Typhoon Lan left five dead, one missing and scores injured. Saola was moving 60 km southwest of Okinawa’s capital Naha at 11 am local time, packing gusts of up to 162 km per hour. Margasira Sudha throyodasi 1 December 2017 till Palguna Sudha Vidhiya on 17 February 2018 the Shukra Moodam persists. Important Magha month also Moodam encircled. Moodam implies the graham nearing the Sun would loose its internal power. This is known as Astangan Dosham. Jupiter and Venus (Guru and Shukra stars) cannot be seen in the sky. This period is known as Moodam or Moudyam. In this period wells digging, Lake formation works, Yagalu, Devata prathistalu, Marriages, Upanayana, New house entry, Birth hair removal and other important Subha festivals should not be performed as the Vedic Priests assert. 30 Oct.2017: Lightning storm blazed across Queensland skies. There were over 176,000 lightning strikes overnight, with more expected on Monday. Queensland's bureau has warned of more "severe thunderstorms", "damaging winds and large hailstones". The sky was electric for hours, certainly more than usual storms. October 31, 2017: Chennai, IIT-Madras students have fabricated 45 robots to simultaneously clean an area of 750 square feet for over 15 minutes on Sunday.

16 Oct. 2017, Monday: Hurricane Ophelia: Strong winds likely in the UK and Ireland by Monday. Strong 80-miles-per-hour winds are likely in coastal areas of England, Wales and Ireland, when Hurricane Ophelia is expected to reach the British Isles towards its tail end. The Category 3 storm will bring high temperatures of around 25C. The storm strengthened to Category 3 when it passed through the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic. It is the first hurricane of this category to reach this far east in the ocean. Ophelia is currently moving through the Atlantic Ocean with sustained winds of 115 miles per hour. When it reaches the United Kingdom and Ireland, it is likely to be reduced to just an area of low pressure.  LAHINCH, Ireland: Schools and hospitals were closed in Ireland on Monday and people were warned to stay indoors as Tropical Storm Ophelia threatened to lash the country with its worst weather in 50 years. Ophelia made landfall at around 7 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET) and was expected to move across Ireland during the day before moving towards western Scotland overnight.

formed in Gudevadlapalli in Kadapa Zillah on Tuesday 
     In Goodavanadalapalli  Mango garden a big hole 20-feet depth and 30 foot width, formed in which two mango trees were sunk, with one totally dispeared in the hole and another almost sunk with only the upper portion visible. Kadapa Zilla Chintakommadinne Mandal people were agitated. In 2015 near the Nayanori school a big hole that sucked inside  a water tank. After that Peddamusalreddypalle Buggamaleswar Temple nearby about 26 places, holes have formed GSI said the under earth water flows responsible for these formation of holes and instructed to villagers to vacate them. But people havn't responded. 
17 October 2017 07:48, UK, Tuesday:  Parts of the UK are braced for gusts up to 70mph after the  killer storm left three people dead in battering Ireland and thousands without power. Pictures showed roofs being torn off buildings and flooding on coastlines, and fire services reported scores of trees being felled and power lines being blown down on Monday.  Winds of up to 118mph were recorded as the former hurricane ripped through the island and headed towards Britain. Huge waves strike the harbour wall and lighthouse at Porthcawl, south Wales. A motorist drives through sea foam whipped up by Ophelia in Holyhead, Wales.  Parts of England have experienced an unusual side effect from Storm Ophelia: a blood red sun. The former hurricane's powerful winds have pulled air and dust up from southern Europe and Africa.

17 Oct. 2017: Mild Tremors in Jeedipalli: A few days ago similar tremors were experienced that lasted only few seconds. Four villages felt tremors in Beluguppa and Uravakonda with damages to houses and roads. The Ground water department said it is a consequence of rapid extraction of water from the reservoir during the months leading to summer.  Also rapid recharge of the water table in less than two weeks by 4-meters.
17 Oct. 2017: Srisailam was recorded as 2,21,196cusecs at 1 PM on Oct. 17, when eight crest gates of the project were open for 10 feet height each and discharge continued about 4 hrs, Last one closed at 6 PM on Oct 19, dropping inflow recorded at 49,500cusecs at 9PM.

19 October 2017: Under the influence of the well-marked low pressure region, East and West Godavari, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam distrcts are likely to witness isolated heavy rainfall in the next two days and scattered rainfall for the next five days, while Rayalaseema may remain dry.
Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 19:  The warm pool of waters is making the depression in the West-Central Bay of Bengal (off Andhra Pradesh coast) to travel towards the Odisha coast. The raised sea-surface temperatures that also aids convection (evaporation and cloud-building) will allow it to strengthen further into a deep depression, a India Met Department (IMD) has forecast. HEAVY RAIN, HIGH WINDS: Meanwhile, the developing storm would bring heavy to very heavy rain over Coastal Odisha and heavy at isolated places over interior Odisha and North Coastal Andhra Pradesh today.
Heavy to very heavy rain is also forecast for Gangetic West Bengal and the North-Eastern States while thunderstorm and lightning is likely for a wide swathe of area in East and North-East India.
The area likely to be affected include Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and the rest of the North-Eastern States.
Friday, 20 Oct. 2017: Soon after the cross-over of the deep depression that heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely along the Coastal Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal. It will be heavy at isolated places over interior Odisha, Jharkhand, hills of Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and the rest of the North-Eastern States. Squally winds with wind speeds reaching 45- to 55 km/hr and gusting to 65 km/hr are forecast along and off the Odisha and West Bengal coasts with warning extended to fishermen for the second day.
20 October 2017: PM Modi's appreciation of Hema Malini a Rajya Sabha member: Hema-ji has distinguished herself as one of the leading Indian actors of our times. Her cinematic brilliance has spanned several films through the various decades. Her many roles have connected and endeared her to a wide range of cinema lovers. The efforts of Hema-ji to popularise Indian classical dances, particularly among youngsters, are deeply commendable, it is gladdening to note that the biography on Hema-ji also covers her early years and how she gained a foothold in the film industry through hard work and dedication. Hema-ji has also been an active BJP member for many years. She has served diligently in the Rajya Sabha and is currently serving in the Lok Sabha. I have found her extremely sensitive towards the development aspirations of the people of Mathura, her constituency. 
October 20, 2017: Depression-triggered heavy rainfall, gusty surface wind likely in Odisha. The Depression over coastal Odisha moved northward and lay centered at 0530 hrs IST of today, the 20th October 2017 over coastal Odisha near Latitude 20.8º N and longitude 86.5º E about 25Kms west of Chandbali. The system would move nearly Northwards for some time and then North-Northeastwards and weaken gradually into a Well marked low pressure area during next 24 hrs.
20 Oct. 2017: Sibang, Aceh (ANTARA News): An earthquake measuring 5 on the Richter scale jolted Simeule district in the Indonesian westernmost province of Aceh. The earthquake which struck the district at 4:43 a.m. West Indonesia Standard Time (WIB).

Oct 27, 2017, 23:10 PM IST: LONDON: A 'swarm' of earthquakes will hit Britain and Europe on a day in November due to a major cosmic activity, a researcher has warned. November 19 will witness a series of quakes hitting the continent which would be felt in all major European centres including London.  A stellar body known as Brown Dwarf is claimed to be “pulling at the Earth’s tectonic plates” triggering tremors and volcano activity around the world. It is the same activity which has caused recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Bali, California and the Canary Islands, the UK's Express reported. The Brown Dwarf, also known as the Black Star, is believed to have huge gravitational influence and is “pulling and squeezing the Earth. “Global seismic activity reaches a peak in the second two weeks of November moving into December 2017. “The predicted backside alignment quake event is scheduled for November 19, 2017, when the Earth passes behind the Sun relative to the Black Star”. 
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, OCT 27: The North-East monsoon has set in over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala and adjoining Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh bringing heavy rain at some places. Rainfall occurred at most places over Kerala; at a few places over Tamil Nadu, Coastal Karnataka, and South Interior Karnataka and at isolated places over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and North Interior Karnataka during the 24 hours ending Friday morning. Punalur in South Kerala recorded an isolated heavy 15 cm during the 24 hours. In Tamil Nadu, the districts of Madurai, Erode, Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, Sivagangai, Tirunelveli, and Kanyakuari saw moderate to heavy rainfall. A persisting circulation over South-East Tamil Nadu had pumped in moisture from the South-West Bay of Bengal to drop rain over the southern parts of the Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Forecasts for the next three-four days suggest heavy rain mainly over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. The situation may take a significant turn after November 1 with the prospect of a storm forming in the Bay of Bengal, the precursor to which will have been lobbed in from the Gulf of Thailand.

                Severe storms have brought heavy rain and a spectacle of lightning to Australia's Queensland, with lightning bolts ripping across the night skies for hours. There were over 176,000 lightning strikes overnight - with more expected on Monday. Queensland's bureau has warned of more "severe thunderstorms", "damaging winds and large hailstones". The sky was electric for hours, certainly more than usual storms. The storm damaged a number of houses and left thousands without power. The turbulent weather had photographers and storm chasers glued to the skies, with many capturing stunning shots of the lightning strikes. It would erupt in bursts, lighting up the entire sky, then calming momentarily before continuing the electric display." In Brisbane the storm lasted for around three hours throughout Sunday evening, but stirred again in the early hours of the morning.· Thousands left without power after 10,000 lightning strikes hit Brisbane as a vicious thunderstorm crashes through Queensland's south-east. 4,500 homes in Brisbane were left without power due to severe storms. Hail has fallen in south-east Queensland as a large storm front sweeps across the region. Golf-ball-sized hail was reported at Petrie, north of the city, as the storm passed through on Monday afternoon.
