Ban On New Diesel SUVs, Luxury Cars Above 2000 cc In Delhi Till March 31

The Supreme Court today banned the registration of diesel SUVs and cars above 2000cc in the national capital till March 31, saying the decision will not affect the common man.

The top court also ruled that diesel commercial vehicles registered before 2005 will not be allowed to enter Delhi. Entry of commercial vehicles, which are not Delhi bound, has also been banned, with the court ordering the traffic police to draw up alternate routes - trucks usually take National Highway 1 and National Highway 8 that take them through the capital. A green tax charged for trucks entering the city has also been doubled.

All taxis in the national capital have also been ordered to switch to CNG by March 31 2016.

The Supreme Court's decision came in response to a clutch of petitions including one on banning diesel vehicles in some cities in the face of alarming pollution levels in the country.

"Rich people can't go round in SUVs polluting the environment," the court had strongly remarked yesterday. It had also slammed car dealers arguing against a National Green Tribunal order banning registration of diesel cars, saying, "People's life is at stake and you are interested in selling cars."

Last week, the Tribunal had directed that no new diesel vehicles will be registered in Delhi. The tribunal had also said that the central and state governments must stop buying diesel cars in Delhi. These will be interim steps till the next date of hearing on January 6, the green court had said.

Last week, Chief Justice TS Thakur had called the pollution level in the national capital "embarrassing" and had asked for immediate solutions.

Around 23 per cent of the cars registered in Delhi are diesel. Diesel cars can legally emit 7.5 times more particulate matter than the petrol versions and produce more toxic nitrogen dioxide. Diesel emissions are also cancer causing, says the World Health Organization

Kerala CM asked to stay away from PM Modi's function; upset Congress may raise 'insult' issue in Parliament

 A day after Kerala Chief Minister Oomen Chandy was first invited and then asked to stay away from an upcoming event at Kollam to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi could generate heat in Parliament on Monday as Congress is expected to raise the matter in the house.

"The chief minister was first invited and then the organisers told him it that would be better if he can keep away from it. People of Kerala want to know, who are these forces behind the organisers who asked the chief minister to keep away from the function," AK Antony, a senior Congress leader, told reporters here.

Also, top leaders of the Congress party have condemned the organisers` move to first invite the chief minister and then asking him not to take part.

PM Modi is scheduled to arrive in Kerala on his first visit to the state after taking over as Prime Minister. On December 15, he will unveil the statue of R Sankar at Kollam.

Sankar was the former Kerala chief minister and also president of the Congress party.

He was also the top leader of the powerful Sree Narayana Dhama Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam.

The programme has been charted out by SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellapalli Natesan, who last week floated a new political party, which is all set to become the ally of the BJP-led NDA.

Meanwhile, reacting to this episode, Chandy said that he was eagerly waiting to attend the programme.

"Shankar is a former chief minister and former president of the Congress party and the protocol also is such that when the prime minister is in the state, the chief minister should take part but since the organisers who invited me requested me to stay away, I am not taking part," the chief minister said in a release here.

Chandy, however, said that he will be in Kochi on December 14 to receive Modi and he will also be there at the airport here to see him off and also meet him along with the entire cabinet.

HAVE A SMOCK GIRLS & SPOIL YOUR CHILD LIFE TOO.......

Asthma Risk in Children Rises by Over Two Times When Mother Smokes

The chances of a child to suffer from asthma rises by 2.1 to 2.7 times if the mother is a smoker. The same translates to 1.2-1.9 times when the child has a father who smokes. In the study published in the current issue of Journal of Asthma, Dr Bharat Bhushan Sharma, Associate Professor, SMS Hospital, and author of the article said that the risk of asthma increases with passive smoking.

"The chances of having asthma increases by 2.1 to 2. 7 times when mother of the child was a smoker. However risk for getting asthma rises by 1.2-1.9 times when the child's father was a smoker," he said and termed it as an alarming finding.

The lead author, Dr Sheetu Singh, Assistant Professor, Institute of Respiratory Diseases, described that pollution and passive smoking cause asthma and the risk of developing the condition increases when traffic pollution level near the house is high. She said that when heavy vehicles pass by frequently or almost for the entire day near the residence, the risk of getting asthma increases from 1.2 to 1.7 times.

"The traffic pollution levels were also analyzed during the study period in the same cities and it was found that the PM10 levels (which indicate the number of particles with size below 10m) were higher than the permissible limit in all the 8 centers in which the national air quality surveillance was conducted," Singh said.

"India was a part of the study conducted in over 100 countries all across the world and Jaipur was one of the centers. The Indian data were recently analyzed and published in the Journal in which 93,016 children of two age groups (5-6 years and 13-14 years) participated," she said.

Describing the data as frightening, Dr Virendra Singh, President Indian Chest Society said that traffic pollution should be controlled by better public transport system, banning entry of heavy traffic in the city and removing truck and bus repair shops from residential localities.

"Children should not be exposed to cigarette smoke and awareness should be generated among parents that smoking in presence of children increases the risk of asthma," he said.

He also claimed that this was the first Indian study documenting increased risk of asthma when either parent was a smoker.

History of Mysteriously Disappear: Bermuda Triangle.

           
                  The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

LEGEND OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.

William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest,” which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area’s aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public’s attention until the 20th century. An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship,” U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops’ sister ships similarly vanished without a trace along nearly the same route.

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned. Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.”

A floating post office

Tourists to Jammu and Kashmir now have another attraction - a floating post office on the Dal Lake in Srinagar, the first in the country.

Sachin Pilot, Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology(IT), and Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, inaugurated the floating post office on Monday.

"This innovation by India Post will be a boon for the tourists visiting the lake," Pilot said in a statement.

Besides offering normal services, the place will also have a philately museum and a shop that will sell postage stamps and other products.

"This is the first such post office in India. It has been made as a tourist focus post office on a huge house boat and will provide a unique and tourist-friendly service to the people of Kashmir and to tourists from across the world," John Samuel, the state's chief post master, told.

Samuel also said that the special feature of this post office is that letters posted from here will carry a special design which will have the picturesque sceneries of Dal Lake and Srinagar city.

"These pictures will reach wherever these letters will be posted and will promote Kashmir as a tourist destination across the world," he said.

Pilot also launched two special postal covers on the Dal Lake.

"It is a befitting tribute to the lake, which is one of the most famous and often quoted symbols of Kashmir, and often referred to as the crown of Kashmir," he said.

Pilot later launched a special mail van service from Srinagar to Shopian district.

The postal department currently has 1,693 post offices in Jammu and Kashmir.

Odd-Even Formula for Cars From 8 am To 8 pm, Says Delhi Government

NEW DELHI:  The odd-even rule for cars in Delhi will be implemented from January 1, between 8 am and 8 pm, the Delhi government announced today after a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Transport Minister Gopal Rai said odd-numbered cars would be allowed on odd dates, like January 1, 3 and 5, and even-numbered cars on even dates. On Sundays, all cars will be allowed.

"We will assess the system on January 15 and then further action will be taken," Mr Rai said.

The minister said no decision has been taken on whether to leave women and disabled out of the ban. It is also not yet clear whether two-wheelers will be part of the formula.

The odd-even formula has been described by Mr Kejriwal as a necessity to reduce the number of cars on the roads of Delhi, which is battling with severe levels of air pollution.

Mr Rai said the list of those exempt from the ban would be announced in a few days.

The government will hold a series of meetings this month with other departments like traffic police to work out more details.

Some 200 areas across the capital will be monitored for the impact of this plan.

EARTHQUAKE IN TAJIKISTHAN

 A powerful earthquake measuring 7.2 magnitude struck Tajikistan today, shaking buildings as far away as in New Delhi and other parts of north India.

The tremor hit at 7:50 GMT (13:20 IST) some 109 kilometres (67 miles) west of the town of Murghob at a depth of 28 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said. The epicenter was located in a remote area, some 345 kilometres east of the capital Dushanbe, it added.

A spokesman for Tajikistan's Emergencies Committee said it had no information so far on any casualties or damage from the quake. The quake did not affect Russian military bases in Tajikistan, RIA news agency reported, citing Russia's defence ministry.

In India, tremors were felt in the National Capital Region (NCR) and also in parts of Kashmir, including Srinagar. There were no reports of loss of life or damage to property.

The quake was also felt in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, northern parts of Afghanistan as well as some areas in Pakistan.

In October, a powerful earthquake of 7.5 magnitude centred in Afghanistan, killed nearly 280 people.

The earthquake shook north India with tremors that lasted almost a minute. Hundreds rushed out of shaking buildings and remained on the streets for some time, fearing aftershocks.

GINGER DESTROY CANCER

What Is A Cancer?

In shoat we can say it is a deadly disease. 

Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.

Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.

When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors. 

Ginger Destroys Cancer More Effectively than Death-Linked Cancer Drugs

 Studies held on september 2015 reveal ginger contains a pungent compound that could be up to 10,000 times more effective than conventional chemotherapy in targeting the cancer stem cells at the root of cancer malignancy. A new study published in PLoS reveals a pungent component within ginger known as 6-shogaol is superior to conventional chemotherapy in targeting the root cause of breast cancer malignancy: namely, the breast cancer stem cells.

Ginger, a cousin spice of super anti-cancer substance turmeric, is known for its ability to shrink tumors. Astoundingly, it is even more effective than many cancer drugs, which have been shown to be completely ineffective and actually accelerate the death of cancer patients.

Commonly consumed across the world in small doses among food and beverage products, the medicinal properties of ginger far surpass even advanced pharmaceutical inventions. The subject of one study based out of Georgia State University, whole ginger extract was revealed to shrink prostate tumor size by a whopping 56% in mice.

The anticancer properties were observed in addition to ginger’s role in reducing inflammation as well as being a rich source of life-enhancing antioxidants. But what about cancer drugs? Could this simple spice really topple the advanced pharmaceuticals that are often touted as the ‘only option’ for cancer patients by medical doctors? It turns out that cancer drugs are not only severely ineffective at permanently shrinking tumors, but they actually make tumors larger and kill the patient more quickly.

More specifically, the tumors have been found to ‘metasize’, meaning they come back bigger and stronger than their original size. What’s more, the ‘metasizing’ was found to be very aggressive. According to scientists Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, the premium priced drugs were little more than death sentences for many patients.

              “Whatever manipulations we’re doing to tumors can inadvertently do something to increase the tumor numbers to become more metastatic, which is what kills patients at the end of the day,” said study author Dr. Raghu Kalluri.These are the very drugs considered to be the scientifically proven solution by mainstream health officials. Meanwhile, ginger presents virtually no side effects and has been used as a food product by many cultures for countless centuries. Instead of creating super tumors, whole ginger extract was shown to exert significant growth-inhibiting and death-inductory effects in a spectrum of prostate cancer cells. Over 17 other studies have also reached similar conclusions on ginger’s anticancer benefits, with the spice being shown by peer-reviewed research to positively impact beyond 101 diseases.

WHY FLOOD IN CHENNAI !!

Chennai floods is not a natural disaster, it is solely man-made! 

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MUST BE YOUR NEXT QUESTION?

If there are trees, plants and open areas around, rain water will be absorbed by the Earth, but if we continue to build concrete jungles, flooding should not surprise you. 

Chennai claimed to be Monsoon ready even before it set in. The Corporation of Chennai ensured more than 6,200 metric tonnes of silt from the 1,860 km-long water drain network was removed. 

 The problem not only lies with the inefficiency of the civic body but also the unplanned and improper development of the city.

Chennai's original terrain consists of many lakes and marshes which now is covered with innumerous buildings. Over 5,550 hectares of wetlands in the IT Corridor of Velachery, Pallikaranai and Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) have been developed into commercial real-estate because of which the rain water has nowhere to go and thus, settles instead on the road. There are areas in Chennai which are flooded even during normal Monsoon season.

The capital city of Tamil Nadu is going through inevitable growth and the situation will remain the same. The only way to stop the flooding is to cut on the construction process which has made Chennai populated and which acts as a hindrance to settling down of water. A cautionary plan that goes well with the original geography of the city needs to implemented by the state government when the officially recognized 'disaster zone' is to saved from the doom.

CAUSE FOR Chennai floods::::::::::::::-

1. Filling up lowlands without proper planning, little space for stormwater to drain and heavy encroachment of the river banks was one major reason for Chennai floods.

2. Illegal constructions, mostly multistorey apartments and huge industries, played the next big part in making way to the floods.

IS video shows kids killing 6 Syrian men

The Islamic State group has released a video where children, recruited by the jihadists, are seen killing six alleged supporters of the Bashar Al-Assad regime in northeast Syria.

The unverified video was titled "To the children of the Jews" and show five children shooting to death five men and a sixth boy beheading a another.

The more than 14-minute footage begins with images of a training session in the middle of a desert, of the "cubs of the caliphate", as the IS calls children and teenagers recruited into their ranks.

A trainer says five of the children have won a competition "to establish the limits of God to the apostates who are trapped in the annulment of Islam" and predicts the caliphate cubs will free Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and "raise the banner of the Prophet over the White House in America and in the heart of Tel Aviv".

The video was released on Thursday night by the information office of IS in the Al Jair province, one of the administrative divisions of Syrian territory established by the jihadists and covering part of the province of Deir ez-Zor (northeast).

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the place where the murders took place is the citadel of Rahba in Mayadin village, the main bastion of the IS in the east of Deir ez-Zor.

According to data published by the observatory in July, IS has recruited more than 1100 children in Syrian territory since the beginning of this year.

Jihadists proclaimed a Caliphate in Syria and Iraq, where they seized northern and central parts of both countries at the end of June 2014.
