Bishnu further wrote that Kerosene oil should be made Kerosene Oil Should Be Made Available to Customers Throughout The Month: Bishnu available to the customers throughout the month. While other ration items included in PDS are supplied daily except on holidays, it is not the case with kerosene. It has been observed that villagers travel for distances upto 20 kilometers by paying bus fares but they are forced to return as there is no kerosene available at the fair price shops. These villagers never return to avail their quota and this has given rise to black marketing of Kerosene Oil. As far as the distribution of Kerosene is concerned, it was noted that the CCS Ltd. did not have sufficient quantity of drums to store Kerosene. The directorate had also issued a notice to CCS Ltd. but it seems that the direction has not been adhered to, MP wrote. The CCS Ltd. normally draws its quota by the 3 rd week or 4 th week of every month which creates the scarcity situation. Bishnu further said that he already had a discussion with Jadwet Trading Co. and Sheik Trading Co. who are the dealers of Kerosene Oil and have agreed to supply the fuel to the FPS & CCS Ltd. by the first week of every month. The Member of Parliament therefore reminded the Director Civil Supplies to check on the irregularities in supply of Kerosene oil and to ensure that the fuel is made available to the public throughout the month.

Heard working leads youyour goal.

ISRO should be upfront with

its difficulties

It does seem that India’s first lunar mission mighthave to be cut short. Chandrayaan‑I, which is currentlyorbiting the moon, is said to have been “handicapped”by the overheating of its star sensor. The star sensor isused for determining the orientation of the spacecrafton the basis of its distance from stars. A spacecraft mustbe kept at the right orientation to ensure that its camerasand other recording equipment remain focused on thelunar surface. The failure of the star sensor would affectthe spacecraft’s data collection. With Chandrayaan‑I’ssuccessful launch nine months ago, India joined an eliteclub of nations that have inserted a vehicle into the lunarorbit. What made  India’s  achievement  a matter  ofsignificant pride was the fact that it had been completedat  a  fraction  of  the  cost  that  other  countries  haveincurred  on  similar missions.  The  successful  launchadded luster to India’s already formidable reputationin the field of space technology.

ISRO officials have said that the snag has been fixedand that the “health of the spacecraft is now normal.”Besides,  scares  and  setbacks  are  routine  in  spacemissions. They have also claimed that Chandrayaan‑Ihas  completed most  of  its work,  having  reportedlyachieved 90 per cent of its objectives. ISRO officials havein  fact  said  that  they  might  consider  endingChandrayaan‑I’s  two‑year mission  a  year  ahead  ofschedule.

If  the  claims  that Chandrayaan‑I’s  objectives havebeen achieved are indeed true, then aborting the missionhalf‑way  through  its planned  schedule will  not  be  afinancial loss.

What  is  worrying  however  is  that  the  claims  ofhaving achieved most of the objectives might just be aspin.  If  this  is  so,  the mission  has  not  been  fullysuccessful. While this is disappointing, it does not makethe mission a failure. Chandrayaan‑I has provided Indiawith valuable data about  the moon’s  surface already.Moreover, work on Chandrayaan‑I is an important steptowards  India  realising  its  ambitions  of  landing  aspacecraft and then a man on the moon. Every lesson itlearns  from  Chandrayaan‑I  will  be  a  valuablecontribution  towards making  future  space missionssuccessful. It is imperative therefore for ISRO scientiststo  be  objective  and  upfront  in  their  assessment  ofChandrayaan‑I’s achievements and difficulties. How itdeals with  these  troubles will  determine  its  futuresuccesses in this direction.

California, July 21: Astronomers say Jupiter has apparentlybeen struck by an object, possibly a comet.

Images taken by NASA early yesterday show a scar inthe atmosphere near the south pole of the gas giant.

The  images,  taken  by  the  space  agency’s  infraredtelescope in Hawaii, come on the 15th anniversary of anothercomet strike.

In 1994, Jupiter was bombarded by pieces of the cometShoemaker‑Levy 9.

Scientists  at  NASA’s  Jet  Propulsion  Laboratory  inPasadena captured the new images after receiving a tip froman amateur astronomer the night before.

Found: Reason behind different

sizes of raindrops!

London,  July  21: The mystery  why  raindrops  come  indifferent sizes has puzzled scientists for years. Now, a teamin France claims to have finally cracked it — it’s all due toair resistance.

For their study, researchers at Aix‑Marseille Universityfilmed a single falling drop of water — about six millimetresin  diameter — with  a  high‑speed  camera.  In  fact,  theyrecorded  how  air  resistance  caused  it  to  deform  andeventually break up.

Air  resistance  causes  a  raindrop  to deform as  it  falls,and  eventually  to  fragment.  The  large,  round drop  fell,gradually flattened out and, as it got wider, “captured” theair in front of it to form the shape of an upturned bag.

This bag  finally “inflated” and burst  apart  into manysmaller droplets ‑ all within six hundredths of a second.

This happened because drops were too large and heavyto remain intact, according to the researchers.

Each large, heavy drop accelerates as it falls and “has todisplace the air molecules” on its way down, explained thestudy’s lead author Emmanuel Villermaux. “This producesthe air resistance or drag.”

At a certain speed, the number of air molecules — andtherefore  the  intensity of  this  drag —  is  greater  than  thesurface tension holding the round drop together, so the dropstarts to deform.

“When it bursts, the fragments match exactly what wefind in raindrops. This is a precise, quantitative explanationfor their distribution and size,” Mr. Villermaux told ‘BBCNews’.

The study has been published  in the  ‘Nature Physics’journal.

Pak accepts reality, to sign truce

with ICCKarachi,  July 21: Realising  the futility of  insisting on hosting 2011 World Cup matches here, Pakistan is set  to accept  theInternational Cricket Council’s decision to move the matches out of the  trouble‑torn country. “A formal truce between thePCB and ICC is expected to be announced on the World Cup issue after a meeting between the heads of the two bodies inDubai on July 28 or 29,” a well informed source in the board said on Tuesday.

“In effect, PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt has now accepted that there is nothing more he can do to get back the World Cupmatches as the arguments and case of the ICC and the other joint hosts of the tournament are very strong for moving thematches out of Pakistan,” the source said. He said despite spending thousands of dollars on paying legal fees of the law firmin London to prepare a case against the ICC and fight for getting back hosting rights of the World Cup matches, the PCB nowhas decided to go for a settlement with the ICC.

England players surge in ICC rankings after

Ashes victoryDubai, July 21: England captain Andrew Strauss on Tuesday returned to the top‑20 of the ICC Test Rankings for batsmenafter leading his side to victory in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s with a hundred in the first innings. The 32‑year‑old left‑handeder, who also achieved some personal landmarks this week such as crossing the 5,000‑run mark and scoring his 18thTest century during the match, has gained seven places in the latest rankings and now occupies 14th position.

Strauss’s team‑mate Kevin Pietersen slipped out of the top‑10 following the second Test, allowing South African JacquesKallis to be back in the rankings, which is still headed by India’s Gautam Gambhir, followed by Younus Khan of Pakistan insecond place and Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara in the third.

Australian Michael Clarke’s heroics in the second innings have been recognised in the latest rankings as he gained twoplaces  to sixth position, overtaking his captain Ricky Ponting in  the process. Strauss’s opening partner Alastair Cook hasgained three places in the rankings and has returned to the top 20 at the expense of Australia’s Michael Hussey who droppedto 22nd place.

Another Australian  to  suffer  in  the  latest  rankings  is  opening batsman  Simon Katich who  loses  three  places  to  17thposition, level with VVS Laxman of India.

Ronaldo will come back one day, hopes

FergusonLondon, July 21: Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson feels that Cristiano Ronaldo could still make a return to OldTrafford one day. The 24‑year‑old, Ronaldo, joined Real Madrid for a record 80 million pound deal and Ferguson said that thePortuguese striker still has lot of time to make a return to Manchester later in his career.

“He may come back, you never know. Sometimes it happens that way. He loved United. If you look back at the six yearshe had with us, he never missed training,” Ferguson was quoted as saying by The Mirror. “That’s one of the things he hasabove all other players ‑ he was never injured, he always played. And his best is yet to come. He’s only 24. He came to theright club at the right part of his career.

“He could have gone to Real Madrid, Barcelona or other clubs. But he came to the right one and appreciates that. It wasalways his intention to make his move,” he added. Ferguson admitted that Ronaldo’s absence is a huge loss and it would bechallenge for the team to overcome it.

“He’s the best player in this world by absolutely miles, streets ahead of Lionel Messi, and Kaka.” He went on to add thatin  Ronaldo’s  absence, United will  have  to  play  in  a  different way.  “We will  be more  compact, with  a  different  shape  inmidfield. We will have an increasing maturity in players like Darren Fletcher (left), and Owen Hargreaves will come back, soI don’t think we’ll be bad,” he said.
