BLOW BY BLOW BY MODERN CIVILIZATION: UP FLOODS: SUICIDE: THROW OVERBOARD ALMOST THE WHOLE OF THIS MESS.

Re: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/floods-in-assam-is-nothing-new-says-v-k-singh/
“Flood condition is nothing new to Assam. I have been dealing with floods in Assam since 1970 onwards,” Singh said at a press conference here.
But the government is and has been callous over decades.

Dealing with floods is after the fact. Preventing floods is the requirement. For an answer to this lying and collecting dust and debris and lives lost because of the government sleeping over the recoms See

Science and GM Crops

See Meena Menon: Hindu Aug 6 2014:
Proper caution needed for GM crops: Javadekar
It is obvious that Shri Javadekarji is fundamentally mistaken about the true state of affairs on the ground regarding GM Trojan Horse! It is real public interest science which has come out and said that GM trials cannot be allowed. The science that Javadekar is speaking about is specialist nonsense, not science. Please be creative and not be presumptous and blurt out what some people have learned by rote. At this rate, the present government cannot be trusted to deliver for the good of all life.The left hand of the government does not know what the right hand is doing! The proper way of life as enunciated in the sara of the Gita: There is true knowledge and things are rigidly interconnected in nature and there is one changeless life in all the lives.In the separate there is the one inseparable. There is imperfect knowledge on which GM Trojan Horse will result and cannot be wished away: The existences are separate and non interacting and that is the truth! Practice before you administer and practice the truth. Science has pronounced GM is poison and stop it. Nature knows best and tinkering with it and to see whether the game change works is witchcraft and the trials will continue ad infinitum!

A Peep into Bird Hits to Airliners: Glaring Lacuna in meeting people's safety while in air

Re: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/424655/192-people-jetblue-flight-escape.html

*All 192 people on board a JetBlue flight headed to New York had a lucky
escape when the plane's left engine caught fire while taxiing before
takeoff at San Juan airport in Puerto Rico.*
Bird hit the engine while take off, said Jet Airways according to a newspaper report.

Now look at the thin safety basis on which modern jetliners seem to be designed:

INTERNATIONAL BIRD STRIKE COMMITTEE
IBSC25/WP-IE1
Amsterdam, 17-21 April 2000
JET ENGINE CERTIFICATION STANDARDS

Abstract
The ability of modern jet engines to ingest birds and continue to operate is
largely misunderstood or not contemplated at all in the aviation industry.
Currently there is not one jet engine operating in the world that is certified to
ingest one large bird (goose, swan, stork, pelican, vulture, etc) and continue to
operate. Ingestion of smaller birds is on a sliding scale of small proportion.
The effort to harmonize bird ingestion rules between the FAA and JAA has
failed. Controversy erupted in recent certification meetings regarding the
database being used to certify engines. Additionally, should only rotating
engine parts meet certain standards, or all engine parts exposed to impact
meet standards? None of the work done by or papers presented to IBSC
regarding bird ingestion are used in developing certification standards.
Flightcrew members do not know, nor are they required to know, how fragile
their engines are. Airport bird control personnel cannot appreciate the
importance of their work unless they understand the small number of birds the
engines can ingest and continue to operate. The industry needs education on
the importance of strike avoidance due to the thin safety margin provided by
engine ingestion standards.
