Seedless Mangoes..!!!! Yes Indian Scientists did it

Here it is.................
Named "Sindhu"

 

Indian scientists have developed what could be the ultimate delicacy - a seedless mango which is finely textured and juicy, with a rich, sweet and distinctive flavour when mature.

Seedless mango is developed from hybrids of mango varieties Ratna and Alphonso.

Originally developed at the regional fruit research station of the Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth at Dapoli in Maharashtra's Konkan region, has thrown up good fruiting on a three-year-old plant this year. It generally grows in bunch and the fruit matures in the middle of July. 

What makes our arms, legs fall asleep......!!

This is definitely a strange sensation -- we get up out of seat, and all you feel from one foot is an uncomfortable tingling. Or we wake up in the middle of the night, and we can't move arm at all. And then, as body part "wakes up," the strange tingling intensifies.
 Just what is going on here?


Usually, we feel this familiar sensation after we've been putting pressure on part of body -- sitting on a foot, sleeping on an arm, etc. When we apply this pressure for a prolonged period of time, actually cut off communication from brain to parts of body. The pressure squeezes nerve pathways so that the nerves can't transmit electrochemical impulses properly. 

                                                 Nerve impulses carry sensation information from nerve endings in the body to the brain, as well as instructions from the brain to the parts of the body. When interfering with this transfer by squeezing the nerve pathways, we don't have full feeling in that body part, and brain has trouble telling the body part what to do.

This pressure can also squeeze arteries, stopping them from carrying nutrients to body cells. Without these nutrients, the nerve cells may behave abnormally, which can further interfere with communicating bodily sensations.

 Once do move your foot, stretch legs, or roll over off arm, the nerve impulses begin to flow properly again. But we don't regain feeling right away, however. 
There is a certain amount of re-adjustment time before the nerves transmit impulses correctly again. This increases the intensity of the tingling, causing the familiar "pins and needles" sensation.

The tingling may be followed by a more uncomfortable burning sensation, before our body part finally returns to normal. This happens because the nerves in our body are made up of separate long nerve cells that carry different sorts of impulses. These nerve fibers have different surrounding structures. Some nerve fibers have thicker "insulation" around them and so take longer to begin transmitting impulses properly after they've been squeezed. The fibers that transmit pain and temperature information are relatively thin, so we feel the tingling situations pretty quickly.

IB blacklisted the Greenpeace India........for causing loss of GDP

 By Ali Abbas:

Greenpeace India The organization works on global issues of utmost importance like climate change and global warming, chemical free agriculture, saving our last remaining forests, defending ocean and stopping yet another nuclear disaster. It promotes renewable energy and community driven solutions.

India is experiencing a new wind of change. Development seems to be the word of the moment. Many people are in the illusion that PM Modi will wave his magic wand and in the next few years we will be transformed as a nation at par with USA and the European countries. 

Ever since the new government was formed, development has become synonymous to nationalism and whosoever questions the real cost and beneficiaries of development is being viewed as less national. In some cases even anti-national and a threat to the economic security of the country. One such organization which is highlighted profoundly in the report for the loss of GDP is Greenpeace India.


The author had volunteered the Greenpeace India.......these are his views

More than an organization, Greenpeace is a movement, which believes in people before profit. It promotes the idea of sustainable development with equal concerns for nature, wildlife and people. 
Its work is backed by concrete scientific research and promotes meaningful alternative solutions.
Ever since Greenpeace India started campaigning in 2001, it registered its first major victory in 2004 when Supreme Court’s monitoring committee on hazardous waste fined Hindustan Liver Limited (HLL) with 50 crore for damages caused to environment by its mercury thermometer factory plant in Kodaikanal. HLL was also asked to set up health clinics for people to recover from the effects of mercury poisoning.

To promote energy efficiency in the country, Greenpeace ran a campaign called “Ban the Bulb” in 2006. Massive awareness efforts were made to let people know about energy efficiency and to replace incandescent bulb with CFLs to reduce energy consumption. After three years of campaigning, the government launched “Bachat Lamp Yojana” by subsidising CFLs for the general public hence saving energy.

Standing alongside farmers and their rights, Greenpeace has been campaigning against the controversial and MNC controlled Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Greenpeace India brought the debate into public sphere by highlighting scientific evidences and examples from other countries. In the year 2010 after several rounds of public consultations, the then Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh put the commercialisation of BT Brinjal on an indefinite moratorium.

Apart from these, regular efforts were made to expose environmental crimes in the country and Greenpeace lobbied for rules that favour protection and preservation of environment by demanding polluters pay policy.

What makes Greenpeace’s voice stronger in India or elsewhere is its financial independence. Greenpeace never accepts funding from governments, political parties or corporates. All its donations are carefully scrutinized and its balance sheet is uploaded on the website every year. Its funding sources are public. All its funds are received via bank transactions hence making it transparent, unlike political parties whose funding sources are not known.

The only people to be threatened by Greenpeace campaigning are the greedy corporates, for whom maximization of profit means everything and care for the environment means nothing. For those intelligent people, a proverb says, when the last tree is cut, when the last river is poisoned, when the last fish is dead, we will realize that we can’t eat money.

Great.........US Pilot Ordered Pizza For all Passengers

 

Domino's pizza manager Andy Ritchie has taken a lot of orders, but never one quite like this: to feed an entire plane full of hungry, delayed passengers, stuck on the tarmac.

"It was about 10:30pm on Monday when the pilot of the Frontier Airlines flight called in", said Ritchie, manager at the pizza chain in the western US city of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The pilot wanted to feed all 160 passengers and crew to make up for the delay, so Ritchie and his two employees whipped up around 35 pizzas and sent them to the plane.

The plane was en route from Washington when it was diverted to Cheyenne while it waited for bad weather to clear in Denver, US media said.

The plane, which was already hours behind schedule, sat on the ground at the small airport for about two hours, and there was no food on board.

Eventually, one passenger told a Denver affiliate of Fox, the pilot made an announcement.
"He said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, Frontier Airlines is known for being one of the cheapest airlines in the US, but your captain is not cheap,'" Logan Marie Torres recounted to the news station.

"' I just ordered pizza for the entire plane.'" Ritchie confirmed that it was the pilot who paid by credit card for the order, which was several hundred dollars, though he could not specify whose card it was. omino's pizza manager Andy Ritchie has taken a lot of orders, but never one quite like this: to feed an entire plane full of hungry, delayed passengers, stuck on the tarmac.
