NASA plots daring flight to Jupiter's watery moon NASA is plotting a daring robotic mission to Jupiter's watery moon Europa, a place where astronomers speculate there might be some form of life. The space agency set aside $15 million in its 2015 budget proposal to start planning some kind of mission to Europa. No details have been decided yet, but NASA chief financial officer Elizabeth Robinson said that it would be launched in the mid-2020s. Robinson said the high radiation environment around Jupiter and distance from Earth would be a challenge. When NASA sent Galileo to Jupiter in 1989, it took the spacecraft six years to get to the fifth planet from the sun. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute astronomer Laurie Leshin said it could be "a daring mission to an extremely compelling object in our solar system." Past NASA probes have flown by Europa, especially Galileo, but none have concentrated on the moon, one of dozens orbiting Jupiter. Astronomers have long lobbied for a mission to Europa, but proposals would have cost billions of dollars.

Top techs behind moviemaking get their star turn Respect decision of EC, fully Tata Housing to invest Rs.1,200 crore from Academy prepared for elections: Congress NEW DELHI: Tata after retirement thought of sitting at From the inventors of the pneumatic car flipper to the software developers who replaced clay modeling with digital sculpture, dozens of behind-the-scenes cinematic innovators turned out to receive recognition from the film industry. Two weeks before the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handed out its Scientific and Technical Achievement Awards for the visual effects behind groundbreaking films such as "Avatar", "Life of Pi" and "Gravity". While the Academy Awards on March 2 will reward films released in 2013, the yearly scientific and technical awards honor contributions to filmmaking for innovations that developed over years and even decades. This year, the Academy gave certificates or plaques to 52 individuals for 19 scientific and technical achievements, and two golden Oscar statuettes as well as a medal of commendation. Joshua Pines, who got his award for color correction technology, called it "the Winter Olympics for geeks". One of the first awards of the night went to the men behind the pneumatic car flipper used in films including "Independence Day" and "Total Recall". As films moved off movie sets and into real places such as downtown Los Angeles, they had to develop a method to safely and reliably launch cars. "We had to know exactly where cars were going to land when we launched them," said prize winner John Frazier. Awards were also given for the flying camera that can be programmed to whizz through a house with exact precision and for the Helicam miniature helicopter camera system. Hosted by actors Michael B. Jordan and Kristen Bell, star of mystery drama "Veronica Mars", the ceremony saw many awards for digital filmmaking software, such as deep compositing, which allows image layering and gives depth to the final film. Another winner, Eric Veach, earned a scientific and engineering award for his research years ago that has helped transform computer graphics lighting used in films including "Gravity".

NEW DELHI: Commenting on the announcement of poll dates by the E l e c t i o n Commission (EC), Information and Broadcasting Minster Manish Tewari said that he respected the decision of the election commission and that the Congress was completely prepared for the upcoming polls. "We respect whatever decision has b e e n t a k e n b y t h e E lect io n Commission. If we think there should be some change, we will talk to them, but the tradition is to follow whatever
decision has been taken," said Tewari. "This election will be a clash between two visions; secularism and pluralism represented by the Congress and sectarian communal vision. Congress leader Raj Babbar said that he welcomed the decision of the commission and hoped that the elections take place in a peaceful manner. "It is the decision of the election commission, and I hope that the elections take place in a peaceful manner. We are fully prepared and are confident to win the upcoming elections," said Babbar. Earlier in the day, the Election Commission announced the schedule for Lok Sabha polls 2014.
Manmohan Singh: He ended with where he began New Delhi The seven-nation Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Te c h n i c a l a n d Economic Delhi Cooperation should hold special significance for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he returned to New Delhi from its third summit over two days in Myanmar's spanking new capital of Nay Pyi Taw. It was with the first summit of BIMSTEC, as the regional grouping is abbreviated, in Bangkok in July 2004 that he began his first overseas visit as prime minister after taking over the reins two months before. It was again at this forum's summit that he marked what would, perhaps, be his last official overseas visit as India's premier. In the interim, he himself played host to its leaders at the second summit in New Delhi in November 2008, resulting in his attendance at all the three apex-level engagements this forum has seen thus far. Having travelled far and wide during his two terms as prime minister and having earned more praise as an economist-statesman overseas than within his country, the
forum that marked his entry to the high table of global geopolitics should have an added significance. But on a more serious note, the regional forum should hold much importance for Manmohan Singh, as also for the high hopes it today raises to significantly address the demands and aspirations of the people of India's eight northeastern states, who often complain of neglect by New Delhi. He should know this better as it was from Assam that he was first elected to parliament in 1991 as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house, and went on to win four more terms in 1995, 2001, 2007 and 2013, which should last till 2019 beyond his current tenure as prime minister. Each of these eight states Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh - shares a land boundary with one or more of the forum's members, comprising India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka. The development of land routes alone can significantly connect these eight states - and India, in a larger context with the rich and developing nations of East Asia, which has been a crucial factor in India's much-flaunted Look East policy.
H o u s i n g Development Company, a unit of Tata Group, said it will invest Rs.1,200 crore in 12 projects in eight major cities in India by 2018. Addressing a media conference here, managing director and chief executive officer of Tata Housing Brotin Banerjee said the company targets a market share of 25 percent by 2018 in senior living segment. Ta t a H o u s i n g u n v e i l e d i t s expansion plans for the senior living brand "Riva Residences". "Gone are the days when Indians

He said the company received over 4,000 inquiries from various locations in the first month of the launch of Riva p r o j e c t a t Bangalore. "The expansion in this segment is a socially conscious decision by the company along with our mission to create projects basis the needs and requirement of our consumers," Banerjee added.

aerodynamics of flying snakes has found that whirls of wind, the little vortices surrounding it, give them an extra lift. Animal flight behavior is an exciting frontier for engineers to both apply knowledge of aerodynamics and to learn from nature's solutions to operating in the air. Flying snakes are particularly intriguing to researchers because they lack wings or any other features that remotely resemble flight apparatus. Before you envision flying snakes raining down from the sky, the ones involved in this study are small-about 1 meter in length and the width of your thumb-and live in the lowland tropical forests of Asia and Southeast Asia. Virginia Tech Assistant Professor Jake Socha, renowned for his work with flying snakes, recently teamed with Boston University and George Washington University researchers to explore snakes' lift and wakes using computer simulations. Previously, experiments in a wind tunnel had returned an unexpected finding: the snake's shape is not only good at generating a force of lift, but it also gets an extra boost of lift when facing the air flow at a certain angle. "After experiments uncovered this, we decided to use computer simulations to try to explain it," Lorena Barba, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the George Washington University, said. So much of the aerodynamics of animal flight-especially that of flying snakes-remain a mystery. Scale is important, but also the manner in which flight is achieved. "Rather than fixed wings, animal fliers have flapping wings," Barba said. "In the case of gliders, their small scale means they're always in a flurry of whirling winds. By understanding how they can be graceful and efficient under these conditions, we can in turn use that knowledge to create small flying machines that are equally graceful," she said. Whirls of wind can be particularly useful: these little vortices "can give flying snakes an extra lift," Barba noted. "The shape of the snakes in flight-which is a flattened version of its shape at rest-gets help from little vortices around it," she added. The research is published in the journal Physics of Fluids.

Madhuri Dixit: I don't have friends in Bollywood MUMBAI: Being in the industry for around 30 years, it is well expected that Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit, who is gearing up for GULAAB GANG, must be having a bunch of friends from the industry to hang out with. But the dainty actress quite surprisingly, and rather shockingly admitted that she doesn't have any close pals from the industry to fall back upon! Elaborating further, she said, "Well, I don't have friends in Bollywood, 'the 4.am friends' so to say...nothing like that, because everybody is so busy in their own lives. Everybody is busy doing movies either outdoors or in the
interiors. But I am sure other actors must be having their own set of friends." "I remember when I started out, I never went to parties and all. Where partying is a norm in Bollywood, I used to feel uncomfortable and out of place. I used to enter from one door saying 'hello' to everyone and leave from the next door. So, I don't have enough friends within the industry, but I definitely have pals outside of it, who I am comfortable with and enjoy their company, "she added in the same breath. But isn't networking and having friends important in today's scenario? "I wasn't networking when I was offered GULAAB GANG or DEDH ISHQIYA. That came to me on the strength of my abilities, because I have talent to play these roles. And filmmakers know that when I do a film, I am very committed to the role. I am well-disciplined. So my reputation precedes me and that's why makers come to me with the scripts. And not because they are my friends," said Madhuri with a puckered brow. Also starring Juhi Chawla, GULAAB GANG is all set to hit the screens on March 7, 2014.

Putin cools tensions in Ukraine, Kerry in Kiev
Dr. Dilip N. Pandit editor@aiita.org MOSCOW: Stepping back from the brink of war, Vladimir Putin talked Bonobos, like tough but cooled tensions in the Ukraine crisis in his first comments since its president fled, saying that Russia has no intention "to fight the Ukrainian humans, keep time people" but reserved the right to use force. As the Russian president held court in his personal residence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kiev's fledgling government and Moscow agreed to sit down with NATO. to music - study Although nerves remained on edge in Crimea, with Russian troops firing
Some animals, like humans, can sense and respond to a musical beat, a finding that has implications for understanding how the skill evolved, scientists said. A study of bonobos, closely related to chimpanzees, shows they have an innate ability to match tempo and synchronize a beat with human experimenters. For the study, researchers designed a highly resonate, bonobo-friendly drum able to withstand 500 pounds of jumping pressure, chewing, and other ape-like behaviors. "Bonobos are very attuned to sound. They hear above our range of hearing," said Patricia Gray, a biomusic program director at University of North Carolina in Greensboro. Experimenters beat a drum at a tempo favored by bonobos roughly 280 beats per minute, or the cadence that humans speak syllables. The apes picked up the beat and synchronized using the bonobo drum, Gray and psychologist Edward Large, with the University of Connecticut, said at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "It's not music, but we're slowing moving in that direction," Large said. Related research on a rescued sea lion, which has no innate rhythmic ability, shows that with training, it could bob its head in time with music, said comparative psychologist Peter Cook, who began working with Ronan the sea lion while a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Scientists suspect that the musical and rhythmic abilities of humans evolved to strengthen social bonds, "so, one might think that a common ancestor to humans and the bonobo would have some of these capabilities," Large said. The addition of sea lions to the list suggests that the ability to sense rhythm may be more widespread. Gray and Large said they would like to conduct a study on whether bonobos in the wild synchronize with other members of their species when they, for example, beat on hollow trees.
warning shots to ward off Ukrainian soldiers, global markets catapulted
higher on tentative signals that the Kremlin was not seeking to escalate the conflict. Kerry brought moral support and a $1 billion aid package to a Ukraine fighting to fend off bankruptcy. Lounging in an arm-chair before Russian tricolor flags, Putin delivered a characteristic performance filled with earthy language, macho swagger and sarcastic jibes, accusing the West of promoting an "unconstitutional coup" in Ukraine. At one point he compared the U.S. role to an experiment with "lab rats." But the overall message appeared to be one of de-escalation. "It seems to me (Ukraine) is gradually stabilizing," Putin said. "We have no enemies in Ukraine. Ukraine is a friendly state." He tempered those comments by warning that Russia was willing to use "all means at our disposal" to protect ethnic Russians in the country. Significantly, Russia agreed to a NATO request to hold a special meeting to discuss Ukraine on Wednesday in Brussels, opening up a possible diplomatic channel in a conflict that still holds monumental hazards and uncertainties. While the threat of military confrontation retreated somewhat Tuesday, both sides ramped up economic feuding in their struggle over Ukraine. Russia hit its nearly broke neighbor with a termination of discounts on natural gas, while the U.S. announced a $1 billion aid package in energy subsidies to Ukraine.

Megacities of Indus Valley may have Tufail Majeed prays for Alma's collapsed due to extreme drought conditions growth at Pilgrimage to Makkah LONDON: A new study suggests that "megacities" of the Indus Valley region of Pakistan and north-west India may have collapsed because of an ancient episode of climate change. Investigation demonstrates that the Bronze Age 'megacities' of the Indus Valley region declined during the 21st and 20th centuries BC and never recovered - because of a dramatic increase in drought conditions, the Independent reported. The research, carried out by the University of Cambridge and India's Banaras Hindu University, reveals that a series of droughts lasting some 200 years hit the Indus Valley zone - and was probably responsible for the rapid decline of the great Bronze Age urban civilization of that region. The findings correlate chronologically with drought evidence found over recent years by other scientists who have examined deposits
from the bottom of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman as well as stalactites from caves in North east India and southern Arabia. It's now thought likely that the droughts at around that time were partly responsible for the collapse not only of the Indus Valley Civilisation, but also of the ancient Akkadian Empire, Old Kingdom Egypt and possibly Early Bronze Age civilizations in Greece. The scientists studying the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization obtained their new evidence from a dried-up lake bed near India's capital New Delhi which is just 40 miles east of the eastern edge of the Indus Valley Civilisation. They detected the climatic conditions by examining isotopic evidence from the shells of snails that had lived between 6500 years ago and 1500 years ago. The new research is reported in the journal Geology.
