At last we got success to protect the geological treasure of kutch which
we are trying to protect and reserve for research since last 7years.
though Local government and Gujarat government geology department could
not succeed to do so and local public leaders failed to identify the
reality and necessity despite the presentation and writing to them and
local news and ETV news.
Scientist succeeded to convince the central government and Gujarat
government to do so.

Subject: Reservation of the treasured land area of fossils of KUTCH for
the
Geological research interest of the University of KUTCH.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Kutch is very rich area of geological science, not only for the minerals
of the
land but also the fossil rich area of KUTCH gives name as "GOLD MINE OF
GEOLOGY". 80% of the types of known fossil types of the world are
available only
in KUTCH and also very rare type of soft body fossils are also available
in some
of the following fossil rich area.
Our observations suggested that if such areas are not protected than
some trader
mentality people will steel those and vandals will destroy such treasure
which
are useful for the research work of the geology and kutch University
will loose
such a treasure of the educational interest.
So we request the government and the concerned geological departments to
take an
appropriate earliest action to reserve such an area mentioned below for
the
purpose of the Kutch university geological research purpose.
As Balasinor is decided as a fossil reserved area for the dinosaurs'
fossil
land, Kutch has multiple varieties of fossils along with rare type of
fossils
and those needs protection from steeling mentality traders and vandals.
Area of the RANN of the Kutch (also area near ANJAR - Kutch) known for
dinosaurs' fossil is under the Military and BSF protection from such
traders and
vandals but following area needs the further protection as reserved
fossil land.
Areas covered for the reservations:
Area of the KHATROL range of the mountain 5 Km south of BHUJ extending
from EAST
- WEST (Kukma, LAHER to LANKI - BHARASAR) covering mountain range of the
area of
the following - LAHER, GANGESHWAR - Gunavari River area, Tapkeshwar and
JADURA
mountain area, Bharapar sanatorium and SADATA, Bharasar and LANKI
mountain area.
Amongst those the Gangeshwar mountain area and Gunavari River area is
very rich
with millions of fossils of variety of types of fossils including the
rare
variety of the soft body marine fossils. So it needs particularly an
attention
to protect it with an earliest action by the Government of the GUJARAT
state.
Types of the fossils available in the area:
Marine fossils : multiple varieties of ammonites and other cephalopods
soft body
fossils. Eg. Octopus soft body fossils.
Belemnites,
Fish and jelly fish fossils,
Turtles and Turtle egg Fossils,
Crocodilians,
Sea shells - Shankhs and chips,
Coral and coral rift fossils,
+ wood fossils and Grass and vegetation fossils,
Pre Jurassic Egg hatcheries.
353 Proposed Research project for a 15 km long Volcanic dykes of
gangeshwar dome area in the KHATROL range hills of KUTCH.
... 15 KM long volcanic dyke is visible naked and on satellite view,

Dear friends of Kutch, Geology, Science and History,
Proposed Research project for a 15 km long Volcanic dykes of gangeshwar
dome
area in the KHATROL range hills of KUTCH.
Looking back to the geological history of the KUTCH after the uplift of
the land
of the Khatrol hills from the sea bed (fossils of Ammonites and
belemnites) the
khatrol range around the Gangeshwar dome is further lifted by the
volcanic
uplift to form the Gangeshwar dome area. present time a 15 KM long
volcanic dyke
is visible naked and on satellite view, extending from the Tapkeshwari
hill
across the Gangeshwar and Gunawari river region to Reha Chakar area. We
can
visualise 3-4 major displacement along the Volcanic dyke area as a sign
of major
tectonic activity later on not only that but a collapse of mountain hill
area on
the NE side of the dyke as seen in photographs. Recently Gujarat
university is
ready to accept a PHD report on the subject of Ground research of the
Dyke area
of Gangeshwar - Gunawari region of the Khatrol range hills of KUTCH.

Dear friends of Maths, Science and Vedics,
Every thing is very regular and rhythmic on the Earth and universe –
Multiverse in the Space and so the earth and the life on the Earth has
survived so long and will survive so long till the Earth and the Sun
will survive in the Space.
Nothing dangerous is happening so quickly (every alternate years or so)
on the Earth eg – weather destruction , volcanic , tectonic or
Tsunami which can create such a destruction to destroy the life on the
Earth so need not to be worried of every alternate years and so nothing
to bother of years in series of 2, 4, 6, 8, ….2N.XN and so on But
still is happening very rhythmic and regularly
Let us take an example – say if the weather destruction patterns is
destroying every few years than it may happen in series of 1w, 2w, 3w,
…. Xw and so on. Though we need to keep long records of the weather
pattern . eg CO2 records, temperature highs, freezing earth , etc
Similarly earth quake patterns may be in series of multiples f some
numbers according to study and predictions that the earthquake id
overdue and can happen any time in Tibetan plate. But do not know when.
The Earth quake in Anjar happened in 1956 and followed in the region in
2001 with a rhythmicity of multiples of the 45 years which is again a
multiples of 5x9 series . But we do not have complete record of such in
the region but 1819 earthquake was approximately about 3X45=135 years
back (1956-1819=137)
So the series may be in the patterns of like this - 1Eq , 2Eq 3Eq
….XEq and so on .
Similarly Volcanic patterns may be like this pattern – 1Vo , 2Vo 3Vo
….XVo and so on .
Similarly Tsunami patterns may be like this pattern – 1St , 2St 3St
….XSt and so on
Those mathematical series patterns gives us figures of multiples of the
some digit numbers means NONE of those patterns have the Prime numbers
in those series patterns.
Similar way the Space patterns are also happening very regularly in the
series patterns eg meteor showers, So the series may be in the patterns
of like this - 1Me , 2Me 3Me ….XMe and so on.
Asteroid impact is also regular eg destructions of the Dino. In KT
period at about 65 mn years interval and so geological period are also
showing this pattern of the 65mn , 130mn and 195mn years pattern, let us
say in the form of KT period follows in the series of So the series may
be in the patterns of like this - 1KT , 2KT 3KT ….XKT and so on
and or is due any time ?
So what is the importance of the series of multiplications of the
different time patterns? Series do not have the PRIME NUMBERS but itself
can form the series of its own. So prime numbers time interval is the
survival time from any such natural disastrous and space destruction
time patterns. So as to survive the life on the Earth and the Earth in
the Space.
Lets have the look at the planetary aspects of the major planets and
influence believed in astrology but in the form of astronomical data.
Jupiter time interval is 12 years and Rahu Ketu – crossing points in
space planes of the planetary orbits. Which is 18 years and patterns of
Saturn is 30 years. All have one common number component of the 6 and we
break that is the multiple of two smallest consecutive prime numbers. eg
2x3=6. – but the series formed by the no 6 has none of the prime
number in the series.
If any one believes in that respect or not that's not a matter but
mathematical series do say the rhythmical – and prime numbers are
never encountered in those series.
There are more strange about the number of six which man believes or not
does not make any difference to the mathematics. And 6 is a special
pattern of the series in planetary aspects and much more and so net
prime number is 7 to form the week – 7 days of the week.
Let us study the numbers 6 and so we can take in to consideration of no
6 importance over and above the planetary aspects and days of the week
and 2x3=6 multiple of the of two smallest consecutive prime numbers
Many do not consider 6 as a happy number and if we give that number to
any one may be unhappy as with number 13 though is the prime number.
6= 2x3 (six has characteristic of its component 2 as a perfect digit)
Six includes 2 so include all characteristics of divided by two. As in
the series numbers are multiples of 2. and also as the six has
component 3 which is part of digit 9 as well (3x3=9) so as to give the
characteristic of max digit 9 and its series. And power of 3s gives that
characteristic to six as being that's component.
Six has 1, 2, 3, as their part 1x2x3=6 and inverse of 1/1 +1/2+1/3+1/6=
2 gives its characteristic of its component digit 2.
Powers ot six eg square of 6=36 and onwards , 3=6=9 max digit character
because of its component 3 , 6x6x6 = 216 , 2+1+6=9.
Thus six gives characteristic of both of its component 2 and 3 so in the
form of the mixture of both of its components characteristics as 2s and
3s like as the ARDH NARISHWAR SHIVE FORM.
Also all the prime numbers follows one pattern related to six that
either prime number +1/or -1 makes them multiple of six as P+_1=N6 eg
7-1=6 , 13-1= 2x6 , 97-1=16x6, 73-1=6x12, and also 71+1 =6x12. also
1291-1= 6x215 and 1361=1 =227x6.
To avoid the frequency of the destructive events and the planetary
aspects of six and its series and also multiple of next prime number 7
series –The Prime number itself has the advantage of the survival
and the regeneration intervals.
Let us see now the statistical part of the chances of the frequency of
the meteor/asteroid impact to the Earth to destroy the life on the
Earth.
Most studies has suggests that the chances of the destruction of the
life on the Earth by the impact of the meteor/asteroid is just a 1% in
50 centuries so as a 1% in 5000 years and so approximately 500 000 years
life on the Earth will have drastic impact. But that's a just
approximate not accurately.
Now lets have a look to the Mathematical and science part of the
Vedic's. Smallest time interval for life destruction is given in the
form of KALIYUGA as a 432000 years which is more accurately figured than
rounded figure of 500 000 years.
Now MahaYuga is 10time of KALIYUGA as a 432 000 which is 432 0000 years.
And if we make a mathematical series of such Mahayugas it will be as
1MY, 2 MY 3 MY …NxMY and so on.
Hear 15MY = 15 x 432 0000 =648 00000 =64.8Mn years which is more
accurately close to the KT period series of 65mn approximate years of KT
boundary period.
The Geological time interval of such approximate 65mn years of the KT
periods also has the series, pattern of the 65mn , 130mn and 195mn
years. this patterns may form the series of - 1KT , 2KT 3KT ….XKT
and so on but will avoid the PRIME numbers to destroy the life totally
and will allow the life to regenerate and survival of the some form of
the life on the Earth from all forms of the disasters on the Earth and
from the space as well.
So the regeneration of the life should follow the period of Prime
numbers interval and that has been explained in the mathematical form of
MANAVANTAR – WHICH IS IN THE FORM OF SUCH MAHAYUGAS OF 71 Mahayuga =
1MANU – Manvantar period.
Eg as per Vedas life on the earth is expected to last further 2.16 bn
years as an Andromeda galaxy will collide with our milky way to generate
billions degree temperature to make destruction and regenerations of new
stars and galaxy formations. (this period will be NxKT periods of
intervals as all manvantar period finish at this stage and these are
multiples of KT period intervals as stated before).
So the remaining period of 2.16Bn years are divided in 500 mahayugas and
that's divided to 7 manavantar periods of 71 mahayugas. (past period
not counted) as a whole period of 4.32Bn years are divided in 1000
mahayugas and that's divided to 14 manavantar periods of 71
mahayugas.
Here 71 Mahayuga period is Prime number period to avoid all events of 2,
3, 5, 6, 7 and all KT period intervals of 15 Mahaygas as explained
before as well as series of planetary aspects of multiples of six and
its series and also that of 7 next prime numbers series.
Trigonometry and Pythagoras: Prime numbers has also rules of Pythagoras
formation and only prime numbers can do that and none of the others.
Eg triangles of the sides with prime number dimension only can form new
form of the rectangular triangle . see following examples and carry on
forward to find new.
4, 5 and 3 (P)
12, 13 and 5 (P)
24, 25 and 7 (P)
60, 61 and 11 (P)
84, 85 and 13 (P)
94, 95 and 17 (P)
X=?, Y=? and 19 (P)
Similarly Coding and decoding in the Deciphering process of the secrete
codes and internet security and hacking security all involves the PRIME
Numbers in bigger and multiple forms. eg
1757051 = 1291 prime number key 1(prime KEY P) and x 1361(prime KEY q)
Prime number key 2 and that's locks the key functions as security in
transactions and security processes
Video demonstration of the experiments of 4 hours in five lecture
series of University of Oxford - academic to explain the mysteries of
the world of numbers- are available from the oxford University

Mountain range spotted on Titan
[0] [0]
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/06/sci_nat_enl_1166000943\
/html/1.stm> Titan's Sierras are the biggest mountains yet seen on the
moon [0]
[0] More details
The Cassini spacecraft has spied the tallest mountains yet seen on
Titan, Saturn's major moon.
The range is about 150km long (93 miles), 30km (19 miles) wide and about
1.5km (nearly a mile) high.
The feature was identified by the probe on a recent pass, using a
combination of radar and infrared data.
Dr Bob Brown, one of the scientists behind the discovery, said it
reminded him of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the western US.
"One could call them Titan's Sierras," the University of Arizona-Tucson
researcher added.
The mountains lie south of the equator. Scientists told the American
Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting that the range was probably as hard
as rock, but made of icy materials.
The mountains appear to be coated with layers of organic, or
carbon-rich, material. This could be methane "snow".
Impact story
Titan is smothered in a thick photochemical haze, so Cassini must use
instruments other than its optical camera system to see features such as
these mountains.
Dr Brown, who leads Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer
(Vims) team, said a theory was now emerging to explain how the range
formed.

You can think of Titan as the Earth in deep freeze
[http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/img/v3/end_quote_rb.gif]
Dr Rosaly Lopes, Nasa JPLIt was likely they grew as material welled up
from below to fill the gaps opened when tectonic plates pulled apart, he
explained. This is similar to the way mid-ocean ridges are formed on
Earth today.
Dr Brown said the mountains were close to a circular feature which might
be an ancient impact basin. He speculated that it was possible a space
collision in Titan's past had kicked off the whole process.
"The energy released in the impact was probably large enough for the
impactor to punch through the crust of Titan which then caused tectonic
disruption in the area, and that these [mountains] occurred some time
afterwards.
"If there is anything to this idea, if this is an impact basin, we ought
to see something exactly opposite in the geology on the other side of
Titan at what we call the antipode; and we haven't seen that yet."
Like Earth
Close to the mountains, Cassini's instruments also detect clouds. It is
probable these are forming when the atmosphere is pushed over the
elevated region by winds.
The spacecraft's flyby on 25 October has obtained a wealth of new data.
As well as the mountains and clouds, the probe saw more detail in the
great dune fields that cover the world and spotted what appears to be an
icy volcanic flow.
[Cassini] Cassini has been investigating Saturn and its moons since
2004Scientists are fascinated by Titan because its chemistry may tell
them something about the early Earth.
From the few impact craters seen on the surface, scientists know it must
be a very active world. There are channels that are probably being
carved by liquid methane; it has volcanoes that spew ices; winds are
eroding features and depositing material in distant locations.
"You can think of Titan as the Earth in deep freeze," said Dr Rosaly
Lopes, Cassini radar team member at the US space agency's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.
"It has a lot of the geological processes that Earth has. In fact, it is
more Earth-like than anywhere else in the Solar System. But the surface
is very cold; it's about minus 178C."
Becoming clearer
British scientist Professor John Zarnecki was a principal investigator
on the Huygens lander which Cassini put on Titan in January 2005.
He said the moon continued to amaze.
"It is incredible to think that all those kilometres away there is a
moon which contains so many similar geographical features to those found
here on Earth.
"Huygens gave us a panoramic snapshot of the surface of Titan which we
continue to anaylse. When coupled with the results from Cassini's flybys
of Titan, we are really beginning to build up a detailed picture of the
make-up of this intriguing moon."
Cassini-Huygens entered into orbit around Saturn on 1 July 2004. The
mission is a co-operative project of Nasa, the European Space Agency
(Esa) and the Italian Space Agency

Dear friends Of Science and Astronomy,
Water flowed 'recently' on Mars : Nasa says it has found "compelling" evidence
that liquid water flowed recently on the surface of Mars.
Gullies like this could have been cut by water, Nasa says
The finding adds further weight to the idea that Mars might harbour the right
conditions for life. The appearance of gullies, revealed in orbital images from
a Nasa probe, suggests that water could have flowed on the surface in the last
few years. But some scientists think these fresh gullies could also have been
cut by liquid carbon dioxide (CO2). The latest research emerged when Nasa's Mars
Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft spotted gullies and trenches that scientists
believed were geologically young and carved by fast-moving water coursing down
cliffs and steep crater walls. Scientists at the San Diego-based Malin Space
Science Systems, who operate a camera aboard MGS decided to retake photos of
thousands of gullies in search of evidence for recent water activity. Two
gullies that were originally photographed in 1999 and 2001, and imaged again in
2004 and 2005, showed changes consistent with water flowing down the crater
walls, according to the study. In both cases, scientists found bright,
light-coloured deposits in the gullies that were not present in the original
photos. They concluded that the deposits - possibly mud, salt or frost - were
left there when water recently cascaded through the channels. Other scientists
think it possible that gullies like this were caused not by water but by liquid
carbon dioxide. One of the reasons for favouring CO2 was that computer models of
the Martian crust indicated water could exist only at depths of several
kilometres. Liquid carbon dioxide, on the other hand, could persist much nearer
the surface where temperatures can drop as low as -107C.
Prospects for life
We're now realising Mars is more active than we previously thought, and that
the mid-latitude section seems to be where all the action is Phil Christensen,
Arizona State University
Oded Aharonson, an assistant professor of planetary science at the California
Institute of Technology (Caltech) said that while the interpretation of recent
water activity on Mars was "compelling," it was just one possible explanation.
Aharonson said further study was needed to determine whether the deposits could
have been left there by the flow of dust rather than water. Deciding what was
responsible for the features is a pressing question that has important
consequences for the likelihood of life on Mars. Scientists have proposed that
reservoirs of liquid water could exist beneath the Martian surface, providing a
habitat for microbial life. "This underscores the importance of searching for
life on Mars, either present or past," said Bruce Jakosky, an astrobiologist at
the University of Colorado at Boulder, who had no role in the study. "It's one
more reason to think that life could be there." Mars Global Surveyor abruptly
lost radio contact with Earth last month. Attempts to locate the spacecraft,
which has mapped the Red Planet since 1996, have failed, and scientists fear it
is lost. Nasa's Mars rovers, which landed in 2004, have sent scientists back
equally strong evidence that liquid water flowed on the surface in ancient
times, based on observations of alterations in ancient rocks. "We're now
realising Mars is more active than we previously thought, and that the
mid-latitude section seems to be where all the action is," said Arizona State
University scientist Phil Christensen, who was not part of the current research.

Dear friends of Archaeology and science,
Archaeologists are attracted to the places of the name with Kotada - kotadi,
There are about more than hundred archaeological sites in Kutch (Harappan /
Indus / sarasvati ). amongst Dholavira and Kuran Moti are well-known and some
are Khedoi , Lakhapar and kali Ramvav near RAMVAV in Rapar. Jhura Kotadi,
Meghpar GadhWARI wadi, Sukhpar Bajariyo nearZadko - Zadki, Surkotada ,
MadKotada, RaparGADH, and so ....on. archaeologists are attracted to the places
of the name with Kotada - kotadi eithet it may be a Kotada - kotadi of Dholavira
or kotada jadodar,Kotada bhadli, Kotada sangani, kotada Roha, Kotada Bhadli,
Kotada mad, Kotada chakar or any kotada/ kotadi and also to the GADH eg GADHWARI

Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
Humans show big DNA differences http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6174510.stm
DNA comparisons: Gains (green), losses (red), the same (yellow)
Scientists have shown that our genetic code varies between individuals far more
than was previously thought. A UK-led team made a detailed analysis of the DNA
found in 270 people and identified vast stretches in their codes to be
duplicated or even missing. A great many of these variations are in areas of the
genome that would not damage our health, Matthew Hurles and colleagues told the
journal Nature. But others are - and can be shown to play a role in a number of
disorders. To date, the investigation of the human genome has tended to focus on
very small changes in DNA that can have deleterious effects - at the scale of
just one or a few bases, or "letters", in the biochemical code that programs
cellular activity. And for many years, scientists have also been able to look
through microscopes to see very large-scale abnormalities that arise when whole
DNA bundles, or chromosomes, are truncated or duplicated. But it is only
recently that researchers have developed the molecular "tools" to focus on
medium-scale variations of the code - at the scale of thousands of DNA letters.
Big factor
The double-stranded DNA molecule is held together by chemical components called
bases Adenine (A) bonds with thymine (T); cytosine(C) bonds with guanine (G)
These "letters" form the "code of life"; there are about 2.9 billion base-pairs
in the human genome wound into 24 distinct bundles, or chromosomes Written in
the DNA are about 20-25,000 genes which human cells use as starting templates to
make proteins; these sophisticated molecules build and maintain our bodies
This analysis of so-called copy number variation (CNV) has now revealed some
startling results. It would seem the assumption that the DNA of any two humans
is 99.9% similar in content and identity no longer holds. The researchers were
astonished to locate 1,447 CNVs in nearly 2,900 genes, the starting "templates"
written in the code that are used by cells to make the proteins which drive our
bodies. This is a huge, hitherto unrecognised, level of variation between one
individual and the next. "Each one of us has a unique pattern of gains and
losses of complete sections of DNA," said Matthew Hurles, of the UK's Wellcome
Trust Sanger Institute. "One of the real surprises of these results was just how
much of our DNA varies in copy number. We estimate this to be at least 12% of
the genome. "The copy number variation that researchers had seen before was
simply the tip of the iceberg, while the bulk lay submerged, undetected. We now
appreciate the immense contribution of this phenomenon to genetic differences
between individuals."
Evolving story
A microscope will show up the biggest code abnormalitiesThe new understanding
will change the way in which scientists search for genes involved in disease.
"Many examples of diseases resulting from changes in copy number are emerging,"
commented Charles Lee, one of the project's leaders from Brigham and Women's
Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, US. "A recent review lists 17
conditions of the nervous system alone - including Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease - that can result from such copy number changes." Scientists
are not sure why the copy variations emerge, but it probably has something to do
with the shuffling of genetic material that occurs in the production of eggs and
sperm; the process is prone to errors. As well as aiding the investigation of
disease and the development of new drugs, the research will also inform the
study of human evolution, which probes genetic variation in modern populations
for what it can say about their relationship to ancestral peoples.

Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
Comments : - Why a nature in human and animals too have a tendency to suck or
lick the part of injury /pain as a natural reflex to relive pain and also saliva
has not only cleaning activity but also antibacterial activity as well as
antibody protections. (Will soon be published NEXT in line) Not only that but
the Human brain is also producing natural painkiller opiorphin which is six
times more powerful than morphine, and when a person is given a placebo as a
control test it may be that pain is relieved by opiorphin released by the human
brain.and so all placebo test for the control / or compare testing will be
invalid as we never understood the brain opiorphin activity and we just compared
control testing with placebo and other pharmaceutical products. It may be that
person having a trust -faith in any alternative drugs or treatment may be having
that opiorphin natural painkiller reliving the pain and so we say TRUST GOD he
will do all well.
Natural-born painkiller found in human saliva
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn10514-naturalborn-painkiller-found-in-huma\
n-saliva-.html
a.. 22:00 13 November 2006
b.. NewScientist.com news service
c.. Andy Coghlan Saliva from humans has yielded a natural painkiller up to six
times more powerful than morphine, researchers say.
The substance, dubbed opiorphin, may spawn a new generation of natural
painkillers that relieve pain as well as morphine but without the addictive and
psychological side effects of the traditional drug.
When the researchers injected a pain-inducing chemical into rats' paws, 1 gram
of opiorphin per kilogram of body weight achieved the same painkilling effect as
3 grams of morphine.
The substance was so successful at blocking pain that, in a test involving a
platform of upended pins, the rats needed six times as much morphine as
opiorphin to render them oblivious to the pain of standing on the needle points.
Anti-depressive angle
"Its pain-suppressive effect is like that of morphine," says Catherine Rougeot
at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, who led the research. "But we have to
test its side effects as it is not a pure painkiller," she says. "It may also be
an anti-depressive molecule."
Rougeot and colleagues discovered that opiorphin works in nerve cells of the
spine by stopping the usual destruction of natural pain-killing opiates there,
called enkephalins.
Opiorphin is such a simple molecule that it should be possible to synthesise it
and produce large quantities without having to isolate it from saliva, Rougeot
explains. Alternatively, it might be possible to find drugs which trigger
patients' bodies to produce more of the molecule themselves.

Dear friends Of Science and Astronomy,
Return of the Leonids - The timing favors western Europe, Africa, Brazil
and eastern parts of North America
On Sunday, Nov. 19th, Earth will pass through a stream of debris from
comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. The result: a shower of Leonid meteors.
"We expect an outburst of more than 100 Leonids per hour," says Bill
Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville, AL. This
pales in comparison to the Leonid storms of 2001 and 2002, when sky watchers saw
thousands of meteors. Even so, a hundred per hour would make the Leonids one of
the best showers of 2006.

The problem is, you have to be in the right place at the right time to see
them.
Earth's encounter with the comet dust is going to be brief-"possibly no
more than a few hours long," says Cooke. Forecasters differ on when the outburst
will occur. Estimates range from 0445 UT to 0630 UT on Nov. 19th (11:45 p.m. on
Nov. 18th to 1:30 am EST on Nov. 19th). The timing favors western Europe,
Africa, Brazil and eastern parts of North America: map.
Cooke urges observers to find the darkest possible skies. "These Leonids
are going to be faint." Why? "The stream contains very small grains of comet
dust. Small grains make faint meteors--it's as simple as that."
The mid-November region of Earth's orbit is littered with debris from
Comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every time the comet visits the inner solar system (once
every 33 years), it lays down a new stream of dust, pebbles and rock. This
creates a sort of "minefield" for Earth to navigate every November.
Not all of these debris streams are alike. For example: "A Leonid stream
we hit in 1998 was full of rock-sized debris. They made brilliant fireballs when
they hit the atmosphere," recalls Cooke. "The stream we're hitting this year is
just the opposite. It's mostly fine dust."

plot at nearly right angles, so they resemble 2D clouds rather than 3D
filaments. Credit J. Vaubaillon. [More]
Debris streams are segregated-dusty vs. rocky-by the force of sunlight.
Consider the stream directly ahead of us: "It was ejected from the comet in
1933," says Cooke. "At first, the debris was a mixture of many sizes." But as
years passed, the smaller particles diverged from the larger ones. Radiation
pressure-the delicate pressure of sunlight itself-pushed the light dust onto a
collision course with Earth. Heavier rock-sized fragments resisted the pressure
and lagged behind.
Perhaps in some future year we'll encounter the larger debris from 1933
and receive an overdue display of fireballs. How would they get here? "Nudged by
Jupiter," suggests Cooke. Jupiter's gravity is strong enough to alter the course
of heavier fragments. Indeed, by guiding debris toward us, Jupiter is indirectly
responsible for many bright Leonid displays in the past.
But this is 2006. So prepare for an outburst of faint Leonids.
Extra: Don't believe everything you read. While meteor forecasters have
done a splendid job predicting Leonid outbursts in recent years-sometimes
"nailing the peak within minutes"-they could be wrong in 2006. The outburst
might happen at an unexpected time or it might be better than expected. Cooke
urges enthusiasts everywhere to keep an eye out for Leonid meteors the nights of
Nov. 17th - 19th. "The best time to look," he says, "is just before local dawn
when the constellation Leo is high in the sky."

Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
New machine to scan the brain http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3681938.stm
A new and powerful brain scanner has been unveiled by a team of scientists at
Nottingham University. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/6126526.stm
New £1.3m MRI scanner at hospital
The scanner can help diagnose a range of conditions
A Pembrokeshire hospital is to get a new £1.3m scanner which can examine
the brain, spinal cord and joints, and investigate cancers and strokes.
The scanner at Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest will replace services
currently provided at Werndale Hospital in Bancyfelin.
It follows September's announcement of a new £8.75m accident and emergency
centre at Withybush.
The scanner has been funded by the Welsh Assembly Government.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners use powerful magnets and radio
waves to produce cross-section images of bones, muscles, joints, blood vessels
and nerves without using X-rays.
This new scanner will ensure that people in Pembrokeshire can
receive scans closer to home
Health Minister Brian Gibbons
Withybush carries out more than 1,200 scans a year under a contract with
Compass Healthcare at Werndale Hospital which requires patients to undertake a
46-mile round trip.
Pembrokeshire & Derwen NHS Trust said the new scanner would eliminate the
need for patients to travel outside the county for scans.
The trust said it would provide better images for earlier diagnosis and
reduce the need for invasive surgery.
Trust chief executive Keith Thomson said: "This new MRI facility will be a
major boost towards improving the quality of service and care offered to local
people, helping to modernise services to meet the changing needs of patients
into the next century."
Health Minister Brian Gibbons added: "The NHS in Wales is facing the
largest-ever capital investment programme since the creation of the National
Health Service in 1948.
"Investment levels have risen from the £110m spent in 2004-05 to £309m for
2007-08.
"This investment is needed to help deliver our vision of a world-class
health service in Wales by 2015."

From: KutchScience Cell transplants 'restore sight'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6120664.stm
Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
The cells connected up with other parts of the retina
Cell transplants have successfully restored vision to mice which had lost
their sight, leading to hopes people could benefit in the same way.
UK scientists treated animals which had eye damage similar to that seen in
many human eye diseases.
They were able to help them see again by transplanting immature retinal
stem cells into their eyes.
UK experts welcomed the study, published in the magazine Nature, saying it
was "stunning" research.
This is a stunning piece of research that may in the distant future
may lead to transplants in humans to relieve blindness
Professor Andrew Dick
University of Bristol
If the results can be translated into a treatment for human eye disease,
it could help the millions of people with conditions ranging from age-related
macular degeneration to diabetes.
Once the cone and rod photoreceptors in a retina are lost, they cannot be
replaced.
While treatments are being developed which might prevent or delay the loss
of these cells, scientists are also seeking to help those already affected.
It is thought the retina is one of the best places to try out cell
transplant therapy because photoreceptor loss initially leaves the rest of the
wiring to the brain intact.
But previous attempts to transplant stem cells, which can turn into any
kind of cell in the body, in the hope that they will become photoreceptors have
failed because the cells were not developed enough.
Harvest
In this study, funded by the Medical Research Council, scientists from the
University College London Institutes of Ophthalmology and Child Health and
Moorfields Eye Hospital transplanted cells which were more advanced, and already
programmed to develop into photoreceptors.
1 - Early stage retinal cells are taken from a newborn mouse
2 - They are transplanted into the retina of a mouse which has lost
its sight
3 - The cells implant and connect with existing cells in the eye,
restoring some sight to the mouse.
The team took cells from three to five-day-old mice, a stage when the
retina is about to be formed.
The cells were then transplanted into animals which had been genetically
designed to have conditions which meant they would gradually lose their sight -
either mimicking the human disease retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular
degeneration.
The transplants were successful; the photoreceptors implanted and made
electrical connections to the animals' existing retinal nerve cells - key to
allowing them to see again.
Tests showed that the mice's pupils responded to light and that there was
activity in the optical nerve, showing signals were being sent to the brain.
Dr Jane Sowden, one of the study's leaders, said: "Remarkably, we found
that the mature retina, previously believed to have no capacity for repair, is
in fact able to support the development of new functional photoreceptors."
'Not false hope'
To get human retinal cells at the same stage of development, however,
would involve taking stem cells from a foetus during the second trimester of
pregnancy.
But Dr Robert MacLaren, a specialist at Moorfields Eye Hospital who worked
on the research, said they did not want to go down that route.
He said the aim now would be to look at adult stem cells to see if they
could be genetically altered to behave like the mouse retinal cells.
There are some cells on the margin of adult retinas that have been
identified as having stem cell-like properties, which the team says could be
suitable.
Dr MacLaren stressed it would be some time before patients could benefit
from such a treatment, but he said that at least it was now a possibility.
"Everyday, I sit in my clinic and have to tell patients that there's
nothing I can do.
"I don't want to give patients false hope. But at least now, if I see a
young patient, I can say that there might be something within your lifetime."
Dr Stephen Minger, a stem cell expert at King's College London, said: "I
think this is important, superb research - it clearly shows that the host
environment is important in directing the integration of transplanted cells."
But Andrew Dick, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Bristol,
added: "As with any basic research we have to be careful not to overhype.
However, this is a stunning piece of research that may in the distant future
lead to transplants in humans to relieve blindness."

Subject: Stem cell jabs for heart patients -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6121868.stm
Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
A pioneering cardiac trial is to see patients who suffer heart attacks given
injections of their own stem cells within the following five hours.
Preliminary evidence has suggested that bone marrow stem cells can be used to
repair the damage to the heat muscle inflicted during a heart attack. And that
could help prevent subsequent heart failure, which is more of a threat than the
initial attack itself. The trial, run by St Barts Hospital in London, will
involve up to 100 people. The project is the first to be funded by the UK Stem
Cell Foundation. Heart attacks kill 108,000 people in the UK each year, and
there are currently estimated to be 660,000 heart attack survivors. It is
estimated that heart attacks cost the UK economy around £7bn a year. Over the
last decade, the use of primary angioplasty, a technique to clear the blocked
arteries of patients who have had a heart attack, has helped to reduce the risk
of death in the immediate aftermath of an attack. However, the risk of death
from long-term complications, such as the onset of heart failure, remains high.
If we can demonstrate improvement in the quality of life of patients then this
will be a significant step forward in the treatment of heart disease - Dr
Anthony Mathur
Combining techniques
The new trial, which plans to recruit 100 patients, will combine primary
angioplasty with a stem cell injection to try to combat both problems. Stem
cells are immature cells that have the potential to become any kind of tissue in
the body. Professor John Martin, who has helped design the new trial, said:
"Taking heart attack patients to centres where their blocked coronary artery can
be opened immediately has led to significant increases in survival and decreases
in the damage to heart muscle. "Previous studies in the heart have shown that
stem cell delivery to the heart is safe. "We will show whether it works in acute
heart attack. Our study combines the two new ways of treating heart attack
victims for the first time." Heart attack patients brought to the London Chest
Hospital and the Heart Hospital, also in London, for direct coronary
intervention will be recruited for the study.
Patients shouldn't get the impression there is a panacea around the corner -
Professor Peter Weissberg
Few complications
Following primary angioplasty, a stem cell sample will be taken from the
patient's own bone marrow. Once the cells have been prepared, patients will
receive the sample into the previously blocked artery. Dr Anthony Mathur, who
will also play a key role, said: "If we can demonstrate improvement in the
quality of life of patients then this will be a significant step forward in the
treatment of heart disease. "Because the stem cells are taken from the patient
themselves there are minimal ethical issues surrounding this procedure. There is
also less likelihood of rejection complications." Professor Peter Weissberg,
medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said stem cell therapy had the
potential to offer new hope to patients with cardiovascular disease. But he
added: "This trial is unlikely, on its own, to determine the future treatment of
heart attacks - and patients shouldn't get the impression there is a panacea
around the corner. "The trial is likely to give us more information - but there
is a long way to go."

Subject: HIV gene therapy 'shows promise'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6120042.stm
Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
HIV gene therapy 'shows promise' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6120042.stm
Gene therapy is complex and would be a totally different strategy for HIV
treatment -Roger Pebody Terrence Higgins Trust
HIV attacks immune cells
Preliminary tests suggest HIV infection can be treated using a disabled version
of the virus itself.
University of Pennsylvania researchers treated five patients, who had not
responded to drugs, with disabled HIV. It carried added genetic material that
blocks HIV reproduction and as a result HIV levels in the patients' blood either
stabilised or decreased. The research raises the prospect that gene therapy
might provide an alternative to antiretroviral drugs. The long-term
effectiveness of the drugs is under threat from the growing problem of drug
resistance. Researcher Dr Carl June said: "Gene therapy has long been discussed
as an alternative treatment for HIV. "The goal of this trial was safety and
feasibility and the results established that. "But the results also hint at
something much more." The patients selected for the trial had failed to respond
to at least two antiretroviral regimens of drugs.
Own cells
They were given a single infusion of their own immune system T cells that had
been removed from their blood, purified and genetically modified to carry the
manipulated version of HIV. Each patient received around 10 billion T cells -
between 2% and 10% of the total number in an average person. The disabled HIV
gene used by the researchers was modified to carry an antisense RNA molecule,
which scrambles the process of reading genetic information and is designed to
sabotage the process HIV uses to reproduce itself inside infected cells. Viral
loads of the patients remained stable or decreased during the nine month trial -
and one subject showed a sustained dramatic decrease in viral load. T-cell
counts remained steady or increased in four of the five patients. The
researchers were able to detect the modified cells in patients for months, and
in some cases years after the infusion. However, they warn that the trial was
very small, and said patients would be monitored for 15 years to assess
long-term effects.
Dr Bruce Levine, who also worked on the study - published online in Proceedings
of the National Academy of Science - said: "Just because this has produced
encouraging results in one or two patients doesn't mean it will work for
everyone. We have much more work to do." Dr George Schmid, a specialist in HIV
at the World Health Organization, said it could take many years to determine
whether the technique was safe and effective, but he said the results were
"encouraging". Roger Pebody, of the charity Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "Gene
therapy is complex and would be a totally different strategy for HIV treatment.
"Although in its early stages, this research seems to indicate that this
approach may be safe and the results are hopeful." Edwin Bernard, editor of the
journal Aids Treatment Update, said gene therapy was likely to be a
labour-intensive, expensive treatment designed for individuals, and so not
available to the vast majority of people with HIV/Aids who live in developing
countries. He said new drug treatments currently under development might provide
an alternative.
Wider applications
It is hoped the approach could be adapted to tackle other diseases. The
researchers believe the use of viruses like HIV, lentiviruses, may prove
particularly effective in gene therapy. Lentiviruses are especially effective at
infecting T cells, and also infect non-dividing or slowly dividing cells,
raising the prospect that they could be used to target neurons or stem cells.
They also insert themselves into the DNA of cells in such a way that may make
them safer and able to produce more long-term effects than other potential gene
therapy vectors, such as adenoviruses. The researchers are now recruiting for a
second trial of the treatment - dubbed VRX496. This time it will be tested on
patients whose HIV load is already well controlled by existing drugs. The hope
is that these patients will be able to stay off their antiretroviral drugs,
which do have significant side effects, for an extended period.

Dear Docs, Medicos and friends of Science and Genetics,
Plan to create human-cow embryos http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6121280.stm
You may begin to undermine the whole distinction between humans animals and
humans - Calum MacKellar
Why create chimeras?
UK scientists have applied for permission to create embryos by fusing human DNA
with cow eggs. Researchers from Newcastle University and Kings College, London,
have asked the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for a three-year
licence. The hybrid human-bovine embryos would be used for stem cell research
and would not be allowed to develop for more than a few days. But critics say it
is unethical and potentially dangerous. Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris - a
member of the Commons Science and Technology Select Committee - said: "If human
benefit can be derived by perfecting therapeutic cloning techniques or from
research into subsequently-derived stem cells, then it would actually be immoral
to prevent it just because of a 'yuck' factor." Stem cell research is one of the
most promising areas of medical science. It is this ability which scientists
want to harness to treat diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, strokes and
Alzheimer's Disease. To do that, they need to have access to thousands of
embryos for research.
Short supply
The problem is that human eggs for research are in short supply and to obtain
them women have to undergo surgery. That is why scientists want to use cows'
eggs as a substitute. They would insert human DNA into a cow's egg which has had
its genetic material removed, and then create an embryo by the same technique
that produced Dolly the Sheep. The resulting embryo would be 99.9% human; the
only bovine element would be DNA outside the nucleus of the cell. It would,
though, technically be a chimera - a mixing of two distinct species into one.
The aim would be to extract stem cells from the embryo when it is six days old,
before destroying it.
If human benefit can be derived by perfecting therapeutic cloning techniques or
from research into subsequently-derived stem cells, then it would actually be
immoral to prevent it just because of a 'yuck' factor - Dr Evan Harris
The quality and the viability of stem cells would then be checked to see if the
technique had worked. The scientists also plan to examine the way the cells are
reprogrammed after fusion to see if there are useful processes they could
replicate in the laboratory. Lead researcher Dr Lyle Armstrong said: "If we can
learn from the egg cell how to make embryonic stem cells without having to use
an animal egg at all then some day we may be able to cure diseases such as
Parkinson's disease, or better still some of the age-related diseases which are
creating such a burden on society." Dr Stephen Minger, from King's College
London, said: "The current state of the technology is such that literally
hundreds of human ooctyes (eggs) from young women will be required to generate a
single human embryonic stem cell line. "Therefore we consider it more
appropriate to use non-human oocytes from livestock as a surrogate. "We feel
that the development of disease-specific human embryonic stem cell lines from
individuals suffering from genetic forms of neurodegenerative disorders will
stimulate both basic research and the development of new medicines to treat
these horrific brain diseases."
'Undermining humanity'
Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, head of developmental genetics, National Institute
for Medical Research, said: "This is a very rational step: to learn what you can
using animal eggs, which are readily obtainable, before moving on to valuable
human eggs when or if this becomes necessary."
HAVE YOUR SAY
What are diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's if they are not
undermining human dignity? - Paul Kemp, Munich
Send us your views
But some will argue the end does not justify the means. Calum MacKellar, from
the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, said the research undermined the
distinction between animals and humans. He said: "In the history of humankind,
animals and human species have been separated. "In this kind of procedure, you
are mixing at a very intimate level animal eggs and human chromosomes, and you
may begin to undermine the whole distinction between humans and animals. "If
that happens, it might also undermine human dignity and human rights."

'Dear friends of science and ASTRONOMY,
2006 Transit of Mercury will not be visible in India except most eastern
states of INDIA.
2006: Mark your calendar: On Wednesday, Nov 8th, the planet Mercury will
pass directly in front the Sun. The transit begins at 2:12 pm EST (11:12 am PST)
and lasts for almost five hours. Good views can be had from the Americas,
Hawaii, Australia and all along the Pacific Rim: visibility map.
What will it look like? A picture is worth a thousand words:
Image credit: Larry Koehn. Click to view the Sun's full disk.
During the transit, Mercury's tiny disk-jet black and perfectly round-will
glide slowly across the face of the Sun. Only a speck of the Sun's surface is
actually covered, so the Sun remains as dangerous as ever to look at. But with a
proper filter and a little imagination, the Transit of Mercury can be a
marvelous experience.
There are many ways to safely observe the Sun, e.g., through eclipse
glasses or by means of a pinhole projector. In this case, nothing beats a
telescope equipped with a sun-safe H-alpha filter. H-alpha filters are narrowly
tuned to the red glow of solar hydrogen. They reveal the Sun as a boiling
inferno, cross-crossed by dark magnetic filaments and peppered with sunspots.
Warning: The sight of Mercury navigating this starscape could be mind blowing.
Teachers, call your local astronomy club and ask if they have such a solar
telescope. Amateur astronomers love to show off the heavens, and someone will
probably volunteer to bring their 'scope to your classroom for the transit. (You
can also view the transit online at the SOHO web site--no telescope required.)
Right: Mercury, photographed by Mariner 10. [More]
Here's something to think about while watching the transit: Mercury is
fantastically mysterious. More than half of the planet is unknown to us. When
Mariner 10 flew by in the mid-70s, it managed to photograph only 45% of
Mercury's cratered surface. What lies on the other side? More craters? Or
something totally unexpected? You're free to speculate, because the next
spacecraft to visit Mercury, NASA's MESSENGER probe, won't enter orbit until
2011.
One of Mercury's greatest secrets is the mystery-material at its poles.
Radars on Earth have pinged Mercury and received a strong echo from polar
craters. A favorite explanation is ice. While Mercury's daylit surface heats up
to 400o C, the temperature in deep, dark polar craters dips below -200o C. If an
icy comet landed in one of those craters (or made one of those craters), the
comet's ices, vaporized by impact, might re-freeze and stick around. As skeptics
like to say, however, "it's just a theory," one of many that MESSENGER will
check.
Another puzzle is Mercury's wrinkles. Geologists call them "lobate
scarps." Like wrinkles on a raisin, the scarps are thought to be a sign of
shrinkage. Mercury may actually be collapsing in on itself as its massive iron
core cools and contracts. To check this idea, MESSENGER will map Mercury's
magnetic field, which springs from the core. If the core is collapsing, the
collapse may leave telltale signs in the planet's magnetism. MESSENGER will also
look for lobate scarps on the uncharted side of Mercury to see if this is truly
a global phenomenon.
The answers are years away. Meanwhile, we watch and wonder, and Nov. 8th
is a good day for that.

Curry spice 'help for arthritis' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6090460.stm
Dear Docs, Medicos and Friends of science
Turmeric adds flavour and colour to curries and other foods
Every thing slowly slowly is coming back to oldies goldies and back to the
Nature.
Extract of a spice used in curry could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoporosis, US research suggests. Turmeric has been used for centuries in
Asian medicine to treat inflammatory disorders and its extract can be found in
western dietary supplements. Now lab work by University of Arizona researchers,
in Arthritis & Rheumatism, shows just how the spice's curcuminoid extracts have
a therapeutic effect. Experts say new drugs may be found, but eating more spices
is unlikely to work. The researchers said clinical trials were needed before
turmeric supplements could be recommended for medicinal use.
Turmeric extract
Earlier work by the University of Arizona team showed turmeric could prevent
joint inflammation in rats. In their latest study, they set out to find exactly
what ingredient in turmeric was having the anti-inflammatory effect. They
prepared extracts from the rhizome, or root of the turmeric plant, and compared
them against the commercially available products that contain turmeric extracts.
Results of tests in animal models of arthritis are not always reproduced in
human rheumatoid arthritis.
Dr Ann Barton, Manchester University
A version of turmeric extract that was free of essential oils was found to most
closely match the composition of the commercial supplements. And it was this
extract, containing curcumin, that was most effective at blocking the onset of
rheumatoid arthritis in the rats. The extract appears to work by preventing a
protein that controls when genes are switched on or off from being activated in
the joint. Once the protein known as NF-KB is activated, it binds to genes and
increases the production of inflammatory proteins, which attack the joints. Dr
Janet Funk and her colleagues believe their findings also suggest turmeric
extract could treat other inflammatory disorders, including asthma, multiple
sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease. The extract also blocked a pathway in
the body linked to bone loss, suggesting it could treat osteoporosis as well.
Future work
Professor Robert Moots, professor of rheumatology at Liverpool University and
spokesman for the Arthritis Research Campaign, said people with arthritis will
have to wait to see if the study results in new treatments. "It will come as no
surprise if naturally occurring compounds have a drug-like effect," he said. "I
do not think there is any evidence that countries that eat a lot of turmeric
have a lower frequency of rheumatoid arthritis. So simply eating more spices is
not likely to be effective clinically.
"What is more likely is these results will lead to the targeted development of
new compounds." Dr Anne Barton, senior lecturer and honorary consultant
rheumatologist at the University of Manchester said: "The findings are
interesting but should be interpreted with some caution at this stage. "Results
of tests in animal models of arthritis are not always reproduced in human
rheumatoid arthritis. "As the authors point out though, there are a number of
successful drug therapies that have been developed from plants."

Dear Docs, Medicos and Friends of science
Heavy mobile use 'damages sperm' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6079782.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3681938.stm
Heavy use of mobile phones may damage men's fertility, a study has suggested.
Researchers found those men who used a phone for four hours or more a day had
fewer sperm and those they had moved less well and were of poorer quality. The
Ohio study involving 364 men was presented to the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine in New Orleans. But a UK expert said it was unlikely the
phones were to blame, as they were in use and not near the testes, and it may be
being sedentary was the cause. The team from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in
Ohio tested the sperm of 364 men who were being treated at fertility clinics in
Mumbai, India, with their partners. It was found that the heaviest users, those
who used their phones for more than four hours a day had the lowest average
sperm counts, at 50 million per millilitre (ml) and the least healthy sperm. Men
who used their phones for between two and four hours a day averaged sperm counts
of 69 million per ml and had moderately healthy sperm. Those who said they did
not use mobile phones at all had the highest average sperm counts, of 86 million
per ml, and their sperm was of the highest quality seen.
'Used without thinking twice'
Dr Ashok Agarwal, who led the research, told the New Orleans conference the
study did not prove mobiles damaged fertility, but said it showed more research
was warranted. "There was a significant decrease in the most important measures
of sperm health and that should definitely be reflected in a decrease in
fertility, which is seen worldwide. "People use mobile phones without thinking
twice what the consequences might be. "It is just like using a toothbrush, but
mobiles could be having a devastating effect on fertility. "It still has to be
proved, but it could be having a huge impact because mobiles are so much part of
lives." He suggested radiation from mobile phones might harm sperm by damaging
DNA, affecting the cells in the testes which produce testosterone or the tubes
where sperm is produced. But a British expert cast doubt on the suggested link
between mobile phone use and infertility in the men studied. Dr Allan Pacey,
senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: "This is a
good study, but I don't think it tackles the issue. "If you're using your phone
for four hours a day, presumably it is out of your pocket for longer. "That
raises a big question: how is it that testicular damage is supposed to occur?"
Dr Pacey, who is honorary secretary of the British Fertility Society, added: "If
you are holding it up to your head to speak a lot, it makes no sense that it is
having a direct effect on your testes." He added that people who use phones for
longer might be more sedentary, more stressed or eat more junk food, which might
be more likely explanations for the link found in the study.

Geologists discover 'impact' crater in Rann of Kutch
http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=102452
PTI
New Delhi, Oct 23: Indian geologists claim to have discovered a possible impact
crater in Kutch district of Gujarat dating back to the Vedic period.The crater,
suspected to have been formed by the impact of an extra-terrestrial object, is
seen as a circular feature near Luna village in the northwestern Banni Plains of
the Great Rann in Kutch district.The site -- the third in the country after
Lonar in Maharashtra and Ramgarh in Rajasthan -- is located about a kilometre
away from a human settlement belonging to the Harappan period and may have found
reference in ancient Sanskrit texts, which mention the "impact of a burning
extraterrestrial object" in western India some 4,000-5,000 years ago.
"While most other recognised craters are located within hard rocks, this
possible impact crater has special significance as it is located within an
extremely low-lying flat terrain comprising unconsolidated soft sediments, and
its appearance is unconventional and deceptive," geologists Mr R V Karanth and
Mr M S Gadhavi of the M S University of Baroda said reporting their discovery in
`Current Science', a magazine published by the Current Science Association and
the Indian Academy of Sciences.The geologists, along with Mr P S Thakker of the
Space Applications Centre, surveyed the crater and found a dense growth of a
variety of Acacia plant species in the inner part of the rim. Villagers claim
the growth of the wild thorny plants was a recent phenomenon, about three or
four decades old.
The circular crater measures 1.2 km east-west and 1.2 km north-south and forms a
shallow depression filled with sediments and the lowest point of which is hardly
two metres above the mean sea level, they said.Several lumps of dark and heavy
objects -- irregular in shape and having spherical cavities -- recovered from
the rim crater's rim were strongly attracted to hand magnets, the researchers
said.The objects, after a petrographic study, were classified into three
categories viz -- completely dark and opaque, completely transparent and
isotropic and those obtained from areas comprising both dark-opaque and
transparent-isotropic materials.Under a microscope, polished dark-opaque
(category-I) samples exhibit thin shimmering lines that apparently resemble
"Neumann lines" commonly observed in iron-nickel meteorites, they said and
called for an "appropriate" analysis of the samples.
The transparent and isotropic samples can be compared to "tektites" formed on
account of melting and immediate solidification into glass of the material of
the impact site due to enormous heat generated, Mr Karanth said.After finding
meteorite-like objects and suspected "tektites", the researchers are now
planning to launch a search for high-pressure minerals.They have called for a
detailed study of the site, including references to it in ancient Sanskrit texts
to ascertain whether the crater led to the wiping out of the Harappan
civilisation, which flourished between 3000 BC and 1500 BC.The findings reported
by Mr Karanth, Mr Thakker and Mr Gadhavi are preliminary and detailed study of
the samples recovered from the crater rim is in progress.

Subject: Gadh Of Guntali and its civilisation 2500BC
Dear friends of Science, Astronomy, Archaeology, and History ,
Guntali Gadh is situated near Deshalpar Village of Nakhatrana. Guntali Gadh area
is surrounded by the river channel and river area. had a nice views of the area
of the Gadh (Zarukha Bari - windows of the GADH) but the recent earthquake has
destroyed all those ancient structures and we can see only ruins of the area and
need to make a search for the every aspect of the history if we wish to see the
proofs of those history of the Place. Deshalpar village is established nearby
the actual OLD Deshalpar (Guntali) Village which is on the river bank area north
of the present village. Though the area has been encroached by other means
before few centuries ago, but still the evidence of old settlements are seen and
ancient potteries found in the area is dating back to 2000BC - 2500BC.
History: At the end of the seventh century the Arabs conquered Sindh. Samma
Rajputs of the hindu clan settled in Kutch. Some of the chiefs also settled in
Sindh and were allowed by the Arabs to be independent rulers there. In the early
ninth century the chief of that clan was Lakho Ghuraro, who had two wives.
After the death of Lakho Ghuraro his eldest son Unnad succeeded, but Unnad's
step brother Mod and Manai plotted against him and killed him. Later on Mod and
Manai conspired to kill their uncle Vagam Chavda and declared themselves the
kings of the area. That time Patgadh was under the rule of seven brothers of the
Sandh tribe "Seven Sandhs", who threatened to avenge the murder of Vagam. Later
on Mod and Manai killed the seven sandhs and became the masters of the city and
of its dependant territories.
Presently under Excavation Guntaligadh was an Ancient Port - Desalpur \ Guntali
gadh LATITUDE 23o27'N LONGITUDE 69o10'E is under Excavation located on the bank
of the Great Rann or the Little Rann of Kachchha, which were once a part of the
sea, are examples of such ports. Thus, remote sensing data shows that most of
the places mentioned in literature which are believed to be the ports were
indeed ports in the past. Thus it is possible to find out or confirm the
location of old riverine ports or seaports using satellite data.
Visiting the area of Old Guntali Gadh area (Picture section 1-Top Left :Gadh Of
Guntali ) is very interesting. Not only for the history of the Guntali Mata and
the History of Manai and Mods and the revenge of those as explained in the
History of the last millennium. But also for the Megalithic Samadhi Culture of
the area which was followed since before and going back to the 2500BC. (Picture
section 2 -Top Middle: Megalithic Culture) and also we can find plenty of the
ancient black and red coloured potteries of that time.
As History of the Mods and Manais, they were attacked and killed when they were
praying in the Shiva temple just out side of the GADH area which was covered by
the water canal around the GADH area. Area of the underground Foundation stones
of that Old Shiva temple was found nearby and in the front of the Gadh. (Picture
section 4 Middle Left: Old Shiva Temple Foundation). we also traced the place of
the ancient Shiva Ling was buried underground which is showing the channel of
water of NAMAN of Shiva Ling Abhishek. (Picture section 5 Middle Right: Old
Shiva Ling Placed). Which was then dig out from the place where it was buried
underground and placed nearby with a STHAPAN VIDHI by making a stone walls
around to form a stone temple area as in (Picture section 7 Lower Right: Old
Shiva Re-Placed here). seven MANAYI brothers were killed here by Mod brothers
and their seven Padiyas are preserved there in the area near by the Shiva temple
place where they were killed while praying the Shiva in that temple. (Picture
section 3 Top Right: Manai Padiya & 6 Lower Left: Manai Padiya Carvings)
There are five civilisation places Near by the area around the Guntali Gadh. 1)
Deshalpar Guntali just few kilometers North of Guntali Gadh on the road to
ancient port of LUNA in RANN of Kutch, 2) Todiya is on the off road of the High
way of Lakhpat. 3) JATAWIRA is place in the hill area of north of Nakhatrana and
west of the Guntali Deshalpar. 4) Sukhpar (Aral wadi) in Nakhatrana Aral area
is North of Nakhatrana on the road of Dhirnodhar going to the Chari Dhandh area
to the north in the Rann area of the kutch. 5) Kotada BHADLI nearby the
LAKHIYAVIRA is west of Nakhatrana and the Dhirnodhar. Tropical of cancer passes
in the foot hills (Dharmashala) of the Dhirnodhar Hills and crosses all this
areas of ancient civlisations around this area. that's the reason why this area
has all these ancient civilisation establishments. That is the real scientific
and astronomical reason of the area having the ancient civilisation clustered in
this area. As from this area from where the tropics of cancer passes gives the
clues of geographical positions where Astronomy study and measurement starts.
and that's the reason why Kutch have more than hundred of Ancient Saraswati
civilisation are situated and most ancient civilisation in the world start from
HERE in the KUTCH. MARUDA (+15000 BC) is even older than DHOLAVIRA which is
+3500BC. The MARUDA TOAKAR, most ancient port of Gujarat is the Most ancient
PORT and civilisation in the world and is in the RANN of the KUTCH and in the
past it was surrounded by the waters of Saraswati rivers but now in the middle
of the salt of the present RANN of the KUTCH.
