Global warming dispute resolved

A little island in the Bay of Bengal, who for ages cost the matter of a regional challenge between India and Bangladesh, vanished below the waves, say Indian scientists.

The solitary soil southern of the river Hariabhanga was known to Indians as New Moore Island, while the Bangladeshis Talpatti shouted South Island.

Recent satellite images display that the completely island is below water, according to the School of Oceanographic Studies in Calcutta.

Scientists add that other nearby islands could as well melt as the growing sea level.

Swallowed by the sea

The Noticiero correspondent in New Delhi, Mick Me reports that there was never a lasting settlement on the island now defunct, which-even in its heyday, was never more than two meters above sea level.

In the past, even so, the regional dispute led to the dispatch of Indian Naval Forces ships and the temporal deployment of a contingent of Border Protection Forces of that nation.

“What these two countries could not accomplish after years of negotiations has been cleared by global warming,” said Prof Sugata Hazra, School of Oceanographic Studies of Jadavpur University in Calcutta.

Whoever wishes to travel to her now, he said, need to decide what to do in a submarine.

Professor Hazra said that their studies indicate that water levels in this part of the Bay of Bengal have risen much quicker in the last decade than they had in the previous 15 years.

He forecasts that within the next decade other islands in the Sundarbans delta area will continue to New Moore, or Talpatti South, beneath the waves.

“We will increasingly displaced persons in the Sunderbans as more surface is submerged islands,” the scientist.

As Well in Mexico

A similar case happened with an island in the Gulf of Mexico that is described in cartographic written documents of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Red Island is viewed in different maps of the time, though not always in the same place, and in later hundreds there have been several sightings.

The island could change the limits of the regional waters of Mexico in an region rich in oil.

However, never been able to make the exact position of the island, or confirm their existence and, if in fact existed, as was that disappeared.

Hillary Clinton acknowledges responsibilities in Mexico

Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa, Secretary of State and U.S., Hillary Clinton, on Tuesday reaffirmed the shared out responsibility of their countries in battling the organized crime and drug trafficking, after the festivity in Mexico Metropolis for a gathering of Advanced Level Group of the Merida Initiatory.

Hillary Clinton pronounced in a joint conference with her Mexican counterpart that her nation assumes responsibility for its part in the drug war and recognized that the demand for drugs in the United States and illicit trafficking of weapons fire violence of the cartels in Mexico.

“We know the demand for drugs and arms purchases made to facilitate the violence in Mexico,” said Hillary.

The U.S. Secretary of State also told that her nation backups “strongly bold campaign launched by Mexican President Felipe Calderón, in the war against drug traffickers, and recognise the sacrifice of the men and women of the armed forces and police forces.

She also thanked the support of Mexico after ten days ago killing three people, including two U.S. nationals-linked to the United States consulate in Ciudad Juarez.

“Our hearts are broken by the murders in Juarez,” said Clinton, adding: “The posters are bringing the fight to civil society and it threatens economic development.

Clinton traveled to Mexico accompanied by a group of security officers senior administration of Barack Obama, among which are the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.

They create “mantle” of invisibility in three-dimensions

Scientists create the first device to make an invisible object in 3-D.The “mantle”, whose details are published in the journal Science, can hide an object using light with a wavelength close to that of light visible to humans.The aircraft had been previously developed to hide objects of light traveling in the same direction, but from any other angle the object remained visible to humans.Now managed to make the invisible object in three dimensionsAs scientists express Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, this is an initial but important step  toward true invisibility cloaks.According to the Noticiero said Professor Tolga Ergin, who led the study, the mantle is based on the concept that it is possible to “convert” the space with a material.Profesor Tolga Ergin and his team designed a photonic metamaterial that can influence the behavior of light rays.”You can think of any type of processing you want to perform and create a material that simulates the transformation,” explains the scientist.The base design was proposed by Professor John Pendry of Imperial College London, who also participated in the study.”He proposed the theoretical design of an object hidden behind a package and have that lump go away,” explains Professor Ergin.”It’s like a carpet in a mirror. When you hide an object under a package and it appears in the mirror and see a distortion in the reflected image,” he says.”If we put the mantle on the lump it does bend light so that the distortion disappears. And you have the impression that you are seeing is a mirror plane,” he adds.Bypass lightThe strategy, he adds the scientist, is to change the speed and direction in which light travels through the material, or change the refractive index of the material.The researchers managed to do this using a polymer made of tiny glass rods.”By changing the thickness of the rods can be changed by the air ratio polymer” explains Dr. Ergin.

Clinton Israel must “show their commitment” to peace process

Hillary Clinton, said United States and Israel is unbreakable ties yet, despite the friction arising from the issue of Jewish settlements. However, he noted that both Israel and the Palestinians must show their commitment to the peace process.

Last week, United States vice president, Joe Biden, has condemned an Israeli plan to build more houses in the settlements, the government announcement of Joe Biden as Benjamin Netanyahu visited the country.

The issue raised tensions in Jerusalem, where on Tuesday there were violent clashes between Palestin and the Israeli police.

The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said that among nations always had disagreements and, in the case of Israel and the U.S. had already expressed their displeasure.

“We do not agree at all with any of our international partners. And with respect to the announcement that was made when Vice President Biden was there in Jerusalem we expressed our dismay and disappointment”.

Demands to Israel

The Middle East special envoy for the U.S. , George Mitchell, postponed his visit to the region Tuesday as part of the growing tensions between Washington and the government of Israel on Jewish settlements.

Mitchell had agreed a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres to discuss issues related to peace talks with the Palestinians.

Clinton said that Senator Mitchell would return to the region.

“We are committed to achieving a two state solution … That’s the goal. But I think we’ll see what happens in the coming days, and we are very interested in Senator Mitchell’s return to the region and the proximity talks begin .

The Noticiero correspondent in Jerusalem, Petter Sams, says the United States has expressed confidence that the indirect talks between Palestinians and Israelis are carried out.

However, before George Mitchell appears, United States wants to hear Israel’s formal response to a series of demands put to him last Friday.

Sign in these is the cancellation of plans to build 1.600 new homes in disputed territory in East Jerusalem.

For his part, Netanyahu has rejected the imposition of limits on the expansion of settlements, saying his government has every right to build in those areas.

Between a Rock and a Hard

The Noticiero correspondent says that Israeli Prime Minister is caught between a rock and a hard place.

If Netanyahu gives budge, would face the right wing of his government and his credibility would be questioned. But if they make concessions, it would be very hard to see how the peace talks, backed by U.S. power and prestige-can take place.

The lack of progress in negotiations is a factor that has ignited the feeling in the Palestinian villages, one is called by some officials that the people defending the Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount.

On Tuesday, hundreds of them clashed with Israeli police in East Jerusalem in protest against the new Jewish settlements and the reopening of a synagogue.

Palestinians threw stones and burned tires in the mean time police responded with stun grenades as the disturbances spread to different parts.

“Day of Wrath”

Violence flared in several areas, including

Silwan, Wadi al-Juozas, al-Eisaweyah,Qalandia, Shu’fat refugee camp , Ras al-Amud and near the al-Aqsa mosque.

Israeli police reported that 3,000 troops had been deployed throughout the city to control the situation.

The reopening of the synagogue, which according Hurva was destroyed in the Israeli bombing of the Jordanian forces for more than six decades, has also inflamed tensions

The Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Tuesday a “day of rage” against the measure.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Fatah movement of President of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, declared: “The synagogue will be the prelude to violence and extremist religious fanaticism.”

Technique that allows “read” thoughts

British scientists say they managed to “read” the thoughts of healthy volunteers using a brain scan.

Researchers at the University of London showed participants several short films and later were able to predict which of them were thinking the volunteers.

The study, published in the journal Current Biology, offers new information on how memories are recorded.

And we are getting closer, say experts, to create some sort of device to detect that a person is thinking by watching his patterns of brain activity.

For long term research also could help develop treatments for memory loss, say the authors.

Studies in the past had shown that brain scans can predict simple thought processes as distinguishing between colors, objects or places.

But remember past events is a more complex process, researchers say.

More complex

With brain scans scientists at the University of London and had managed to tell where a person was located in a virtual reality room.

The new study was based on that finding, but went much further. The scientists analyzed what is called episodic memory.

“In our previous experiment were analyzing basic memories, as the location of a person in an environment,” explains Dr. Eleanor Maguire, of the Wellcome Trust Center for Neuroimaging, University of London, who led the study.

“But it’s much more interesting to analyze the” episodic memory “, memory processes that are far more complex experiences people including information on where we were, what we were doing and how we felt about it,” he adds.

In the experiment the researchers asked 10 volunteers they looked three short films of people engaged in activities of daily living, such as depositing a letter in the mail or littering in a basket.
