This mystery is the worst nightmare for a scientist.It baffled many science enthusiasts as a lot of flights and ships went missing at this place. <\/p>
The major reason for the disappearances of aircraft and ships are due to the formation of craters.The particular area may not be an exact triangle but it offers explanations on the basis of width and depth of craters.The craters found near Puerto Rico are 800 m wide and 450 m deep.It is believed that these create massive burps of methane to originate from the bottom of the sea.\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458062244475","data":"56e843aba6da1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458062255313","data":"
Scientists also explained the reason of how craters leak through seabed and reach the water above.Due to the existence of craters, water mixes along with the gas to escape which in turn will sink ships.Similarly, planes also catch fire as methane gets excited.Recently they have also found about \u2018ghost\u2019 ships in which people were found dead due to asphyxiation caused by methane. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458062279897","data":"56e843cd2cc8e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458062288113","data":"
Scientists are yet to explore whether methane gas explosions can really swallow something as huge as an aircraft.Hope they also find a solution to overcome this disappearance. <\/p>

The night before first day of my college as a Fresher was like having bad case of nerves. The first day of orientation was kind of boring with all the monotonous speeches but I had no choice but to sit and listen. I did not really wanted to go to college but something inside me told me that I should and it would be for my best.<\/i><\/p>
26th September 2013, that day was not just first day, it was the start of my journey. I had entered a hall with tables,chairs,people eating and writing assignments. I soon discovered that it was Cafeteria. My dad and I ate something as we were hungry travelling 210 kilometers from our hometown.I was a bit nervous and scared that I got lost trying to find out my classroom I was supposed to attend. Finally I entered in.I came across many unknown faces. For a couple of days, it was very frightening, fear of ragging, seniors,new teachers and everything new. I was exposed to a different style of learning. It was nothing like my school life, felt silent for a few days. It looked so empty even though there were many around me. I imagined vivid pictures of what college might be and I thought college life would be filled with parties and fun but nothing was like I expected. <\/i><\/p>
Our block laboratories and library increased my interest. I used to go, sit in the library when I felt alone. Our hostel was farther away from campus and getting ready by 830, waiting for bus and returning by 430 was all turned to my routine works. We were ragged by our seniors very badly that they asked us to dance,sing,act,mimic etc in the hostel. But later when I imagined of those days it was really a kind of fun. The thing I noticed in the very first year was Work load. College life schedules are difficult to balance. I was baffled to see some of my mates watching movies during class hours. But everyone I saw was literally scared about Chemistry class and everyone used to sit still and the class was as silent as graveyard. We looked bright on the Interaction day which was our first party in the college. Our entry added grace to the otherwise dull party.<\/i><\/p>
I chose civil but I was not comfortable with some subjects in my second year. But anyways managing this was better than crying over programming which I was very weak at. <\/i><\/p>
Now formed a gang of girls where I started deep conversations and I shared deep things. Second year was a bound free life. Nobody was there to see who is bunking and where they are etc. The crazy thing was, We all went out of the class, when class was going on, telling sir that 'it was our movie time so we have to leave'. The best time we all spent together was during our Survey Camp. We were divided into groups and started working in the field for about 8 hours a day.We had fun late nights, telling stories, dancing, those precious moments I will never forget. During boring lectures, there were many ways to pass our times. We wrote paper notes,used to hide our laughter, used to look at clock to find how many minutes are left, daydream, sleep and what not! As months went by, I stayed till late nights,finish late minute assignments,xeroxing and collecting notes before exams and everything. But when results were out,I flunked an exam. But eventually everything went smoothly. <\/i><\/p>
We worked very hard for two days to make and present our model on HOOVER DAM. It was all a failure, we did not win the competition. This was our saddest moment. Later we paid to attend 5 days trip to different places where we could enhance our technical knowledge. When we were packing for our trip, my friends never forgot to get things to eat, the essentials and the whole caboodle. When you are touring, the feeling of having been there before thrills us and it did. And after the trip, we were really zapped out. <\/i><\/p>
The final year is about to come and we will all depart soon. Cant imagine the day where we should all have to part away. College life is not only about getting good education but also it is a place to make memories last forever. Good moments will get over in a flash and they will be worth remembering for our entire lives.. <\/i><\/p>"}]
The world's most expensive city to live in is Singapore. In the Economist Intelligence Unit's bi-annual ranking it held the title for the past three years The Singapore city is ahead of Zurich and Hong Kong. These two states are tied for second place and are followed by Geneva and Paris.\nThe survey was carried on 133 cities which measured the cost of 160 daily items and services from food and toiletries, to the price of transportation and utility bills.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458050552090","data":"56e81642ba4fe"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458050482162","data":"
It is clear from this survey that Singapore's living costs were pushed up by heavily taxed goods and services, such as car ownership and alcohol.\nThe report measured transportation in Singapore at about 2.7 times more costly than that in New York. Cars in Singapore are more expensive, at about $153,000 for the average car than that compared with $22,000 in New York.\nDespite the high cost of owning a private vehicle they also imposed high taxes to discourage car ownership. It is estimated that about 45% of households in Singapore own at least one car.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458050561930","data":"56e8164ddf24a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458050479716","data":"
The average price of a bottle of wine in Singapore was $22.39, higher than that in Hong Kong and New York.\nStill, Singaporeans can perhaps take some comfort in knowing that the cost of living here is headed downward a little. It's 10% cheaper compared to New York as a benchmark, as it was a year ago in the same survey. The EIU noted that Singapore offers roughly the same value as New York for basic groceries, where Seoul is 33% more expensive, and it's 26% costlier in Tokyo. Singapore kicked Tokyo off the list in 2013 and it became the worlds expensive city to live in. The main reason behind this is heavy taxes which are imposed on the items. The property costs are also increased to great extent which made the state more expensive.<\/p>"}]
Have you ever wondered whose is the statue at the SR Nagar? If so what might be the reason behind the statue unveiling there? here you go.. we take you to the history of Umesh Chandra <\/p>
Chadalavada Umesh Chandra was one of the most reputed police officers in the history of Andhra. He is called as the 'Kadapa Tiger' by the police department Now We have to know little things about this tiger <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458039628088","data":"56e7eb6796541"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458039597788","data":"
Umeshchandra was born on 29 march 1966 at Pedapudi, Guntur district of AndhraPradesh studied at Hyderabad, Begumpet. He graduated (B.A)from Nizam College in 1987 and M.A. In economics from Osmania university in 1989. He was a university topper and a gold medallist in the graduate and postgraduate examinations. \n\nHe was selected for Indian police service in 1991 and underwent training in the national police academy, Hyderabad. <\/p>
Umeshchandra began his I.P.S training in the Warangal district, a district which is notorious for Naxal violence. His honesty, integrity, fairness and zeal for work was recognized by one and all, gaining him the reputation as an excellent officer. After his training, Umesh Chandra was posted in the same district as A.S.P (rural). He continued his onslaught on the Naxalites and was very successful in apprehending many of them. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458039648188","data":"56e7eb7ba9b4b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458039560889","data":"
His seniors were impressed with his work ethic, professionalism, and care towards the people of the district. He was very affectionate to the common man. He started a highly successful public awareness campaign entitled \"janajaagruti\". \n\nUmeshchandra's bravery and intelligence impressed his senior police officials. He was next given the task to look after the crime rate in Pulivendula. Many poems and songs were written in his praise during his short stay of three months. He was publicly honoured for his efforts in bringing peace to the area. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1458039719101","data":"56e7ebb6177bb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458038964316","data":"
The government of AndhraPradesh recognized in Umesh Chandra the extraordinary ability to quickly identify and eliminate the root cause of any problem. The government chose him to bring order to the chaotic district of Kadapa and promoted him to the superintendent of police. He accepted the challenge and started work in his earnest way. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1458040042779","data":"zPi4tF5Upyk"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1458039490538","data":"
In 1997 June, the Umesh Chandra was appointed for Karimnagar. He served in Karimnagar till 1998 April. This district had the most number of active Naxalite gangs. Normal life was a dream. Corrupt and vested interests worked for the hand in glove with the Naxalites in exploiting the people of the district. On the Naxalite front, Umesh Chandra started planning and executing covert operations with meticulous detail. He put together a close well-knit group of officers and constables that he could trust to get the job done. His reputation of a fair, yet strict administrator helped convince several Naxalites to surrender. <\/p>
Umeshchandra was assassinated on 4 September 1999 when his car stopped at a traffic light. Four Naxalites opened fire on him, his driver and his gunman. His driver and gunman were shot at point blank range and died instantly. On that day, he did not carry his weapon. While chasing a couple of the Naxalites, the Naxalites sensed that he did not carry a weapon and turned back and fired at him twice. He collapsed on the road, at which point they shot him point blank. Umesh Chandra's statue was unveiled on September 4, 2000, in the same traffic intersection where he was assassinated a year before.<\/i><\/p>"}]

Anil and Pamela Malhotra were alarmed by witnessing the situation of forests when they visited India to attend the funeral of Anil's father. <\/p>
Especially the river pollution and deforestation in Haridwar shook them, they couldn't understand the detachment of the locals towards the issue. <\/p>
So, they have decided search a land, after coming up short in North India, the couple began searching southward.<\/p>

A new type of 'super polymer<\/b>' has been created by the scientists that could transform the healthcare and clothing industries.\nThe polymer can lift 1,000 times its own weight.

3. The small segments called crystallizers set themselves in the same direction in small arcs, or domains. These crystallizes fix the material into a temporarily deformed shape.<\/p>
4. As the number of crystallizes grows, the polymer shape becomes more and more stable, and so it is more difficult for the material to revert back to its initial shape. <\/p>

Shooting stars make a spectacular sight in the night sky. I saw one last week, when I was out star-gazing with a couple of friends. None of us seemed to be able to trace the history behind shooting stars and wishing upon them<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457961744203","data":"
For starters, shooting stars are misnomers. These streaks of light are actually broken little pieces of rock and dust, which, when close to the Earth, enter its atmosphere at blinding speeds, and heat up, glow and burn down. Apparently, on any given night, a shooting star should be visible every 10-15 minutes. This holds especially at the time just before dawn, when we face the direction in which the Earth moves. The frequency of shooting stars increases at certain times of the year, when the Earth passes through a region particularly crowded with dust and rocks (Meteor shower).<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457961764548","data":"56e6bbd5b802f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457961769481","data":"
Legend has it that wishing upon a shooting star makes the wish come true. It is believed to have originated in Europe, when Greek astronomer Ptolemy, around AD 127-151, wrote that the Gods occassionally, out of curiosity, even boredom, peer down at the earth from between the spheres, and stars sometimes slip out of this gap, becoming visible as shooting or falling stars. Since the Gods are already looking at us at such a time, they tend to be more receptive to any wishes we make!\n\nThe Greeks, however, fathomed shooting stars to be rising or falling human souls, while Jews and Christians believed them to be fallen angels or demons. Aristophanes, a Greek playwrite, had a more fancy imagination. According to him, shooting stars were \u201csouls of poor people, drunkenly walking home after they had dinner at a rich star.\u201d\n\nEven contemporary culture is abound with superstitions related to shooting stars. In Chile, for instance, when you spot a shooting star, you must pick up a stone in the same moment, while making a wish. (Quick thinking, I must say.) If you\u2019re in the Phillipines, you must tie a knot in your handkerchief instead. (Too bad if you don\u2019t carry one around.)\n\nPersonally, I became familiar with the wishing-upon-a-shooting-star-concept because of a Bollywood movie! (No prizes for guessing.) The first time I saw a shooting star was a year ago, at Tioman in Malaysia. It was a fascinating sight, but I can\u2019t remember what I had wished for, so I can\u2019t claim if it came true! It\u2019s too soon to tell the fate of the wish I made upon the shooting star I saw last week, but I shall use it as evidence in accepting or refuting the legend.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1457961903110","data":"56e6bbc2a5738"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1457961792038","data":"
Tips for the next time you go star-gazing:<\/p>
\n\nKeep a wish handy, always.\nRemember Murphy\u2019s law. The moment you look away from the sky, a shooting star will appear.\nThe moment you see a shooting star, you will impulsively point at it and scream \u2018Shooting star!\u2019 Keep that for later. The wish must come first. <\/p>"}]
