Riots between two ethinic group In Assam India

Rioting between Bodo tribes people and Muslim settlers has raged for days. 
26 people died and more than 50000 people left their houses in 
Earlier, hundreds of men armed with spears, clubs and rocks attacked an express train passing through Kokrajhar, injuring several passengers. In another incident, several people suffered bullet wounds and others were injured in a stampede when police fired to disperse a gang of 400, a senior police official said. 
Soldiers and federal paramilitary troops patrolled Kokrajhar town and outlying areas on armoured vehicles mounted with machine guns. The government said more security reinforcements were travelling to the region. 
In defiance of an overnight curfew, rival mobs spread to rural areas and neighbouring districts overnight, targeting hamlets along river banks and in the jungle. Some 500 villages have been destroyed by arson.

Bodo tribes shot at Muslim villages close to the border with Bhutan on Monday night, a senior police officer who asked not to be named told Reuters. He said no casualties had been reported.

Assam's chief minister, Tarun Gogoi, told TV network CNN-IBN that he hoped the situation would be under control within two days. He said some 30,000 villagers have fled their homes and taken shelter in relief camps, but local officials said the numbers were at least twice that.

Today Nag Panchami

People all across the country on Tuesday celebrated the Hindu festival of Nag Panchami worshipping the serpent god and goddess.
Devotees thronged religious places like Nag Daha, Tau Daha, Pashupatinath and Nag Pokhari in the Capital to worship the serpent god. Shiva temples were also favoured places for veneration as snakes are considered dear to him.
Nag Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day of the moonlit-fortnight in the month of Shrawan (between July and August).
This is the time when serpents come out of their holes that get inundated with rainwaters to seek shelters, posing a danger to man. This is why snakes are worshiped on this day.
This festival that falls in the rainy season is believed to counter the increased possibility of snakebites during this time.
Meanwhile, people also paste the portraits of snakes using cow dung on the either side of the entrance to their houses to mark Nag Panchami .

U.S. mobile operators AT&T

Leading U.S. mobile operators AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have announced a new mobile payments service called Isis, which will allow customers to make payments using their mobile phones. This morning, the company announced its chief executive position has been filled by Michael Abbott, a former GE executive who spent nearly a decade focused on strategy, marketing and product development at his former company.

According to the statement Isis released today, its focus will be on building a mobile payments network that uses "smartphone and near-field communication (NFC) technology to modernize the payments process." The service will be released over the next 18 months in key geographic markets.

Highest Resolution Images

The highest-resolution images ever taken of the Sun’s corona were just released by NASA. The solar corona is the million-degree or so outer atmosphere. The 16-megapixel images, taken in the extreme-ultraviolet wavelength of light, were captured by NASA’s High Resolution Coronal Imager,  which was launched on a sounding rocket on July 11th. The Hi-C telescope is capable of five times more detail than the next-best observations by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
“Even though this mission was only a few minutes long, it marks a big breakthrough in coronal studies,” said Smithsonian astronomer Leon Golub (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), one of the lead investigators on the mission.
Understanding solar activity and how it affects Earth’s environment was the main scientific objective of Hi-C, “which provided unprecedented views of the dynamic activity and structure in the solar atmosphere.”

Huge Greenland Glacier Ice Sheet Breaks Off

I’m sure this is not what global warming naysayers want to hear, but an iceberg about twice the size of Manhattan has just broken off of a Greenland glacier, Petermann Glacier.
This was actually predicted by scientists last Fall, but as you should well know by now, scientists are just money-hungry, greedy, lying rascals who will say anything to get attention, so they can’t be trusted…. Well, that’s what some people think, at least.
What’s the basic result of this new development? As Nathan noted earlier today, this moves the front end of Petermann Glacier ”farther inland than it has been in 150 years.” It also moves us one step closer to an ice-free Arctic.

Anyone well aware of this topic will know that these things happen, naturally, but that humans are accelerating the rate of such occurrences and such changes. One of the to concerns of human-caused global warming is the actual rate of warming. This is one of the things that makes it and the resulting climate changes so destructive and concerning.
Another major concern is that these types of events create feedback loops that could eventually make global warming unstoppable. And could lead to temperatures that humans simply cannot go outside in. In other words, cannot live in.
But anyway, time to get back to checking Facebook for fun cat and dog photos, right?
