TROUBLE-IN-SCHOOL (Episode 6)

Episode 6 "You should be held as a collaborator, if you withhold any information to the police. Think well, and don't say that Tom or Dick is your friend," the policeman said and paused. The mention of Tom sent jitters into Tom. Tom felt goose pimple all over him. However, on a second thought, he realised that the man was talking about Tom, dick and Harry, a common language meaning everybody. "If the school bus driver is here, let come him out, "the policeman ordered. There was a hum of dread among the students. In their minds, the mention of the driver was enough to condemn the man. The school driver was a mean looking man with a mouth like that of a mouse. He had a dark serious facet face which made him look like a wicked man. He walked out, fear written all over him. He was shaking like a leaf torn by the wind. "Come with us." the policeman hissed, watching the man shiverring like an epileptic. They dragged him violently inside the principal's car. The principal quickly got into his car and out towards the main gate of the school with them.

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K.

MIT scientists makes use of terahertz waves to read closed books

some Scientists, have invented a new technology that can read the pages of a closed book, an advance that may help archaeologists look into antique books without touching them. Researchers, including Ramesh Raskar from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S, tested a prototype of the system on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. “The Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch,” said Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at MIT. He said that the system could be used to analyse any materials organised in thin layers, such as coatings on machine parts or pharmaceuticals. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology developed the algorithms that acquire images from individual sheets in stacks of paper, and interprets the o...
