A brief look at some of the momentous happenings in March.
Have a headache? Take an aspirin. This drug was patented on March 6, 1899, by two German researchers. On March 7, 1854, Miller patented a very different invention: the sewing machine.
Rrrring! Rrring! Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, was born in Scotland on March 3, 1847. He made the first telephone call in March, many years later (March 10, 1876).
Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1879. March was his lucky month, too. His theory of general relativity was published on March 20, 1916. Another famous publication was Wolfgang Pauli's exclusion principle on March 21,1925.
Uranus was discovered on March 13, 1781, by William Herschel. His less famous sister, Caroline, conducted all the tedious calculations necessitated by their joint observations and was responsible for reducing their data and transcribing it for publication. She also put together two catalogues, discovered many comets and nebulas on her own, and became the first professional female astronomer.
You know about Magellan, of course, but who completed the world's first non-stop circumnavigatory flight? Captain Gallagher, on March 2, 1949.
Other notable dates: Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity on March 1, 1896. The artificial heart was used for the first time on March 8,1952. The first laser was patented in 1960 on March 22.
On March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower was inaugurated. The tallest tower of its time, it wasn't universally liked. Some wanted it pulled down!

Social Women
I like to tell u about a women, who have a good care on our society.
I used to see a woman, every day near our house, every morning she used to sweep the entrance of every shop. When walk on the road, if she finds any stones or paper or any garbage in the road, she pick up and put it on the dustbin. Many people will walk on the road but on one will think to pick the waste paper and put it on the dust bin. Up to 6.pm we used to play with our friend in the street next to our house. When the time come 6.pm many children’s will gather on the front of a Ganesh temple near our house with there school bags, we also go there to watch what they are doing in front of the Temple. I used to go there to see what they are doing in front of the temple, I was surprised, because the women who I saw picking papers on the road is teaching lessons for the kids near the temple. She also used to advice us to go and study in your home. On every Friday my mom used to take me to that Ganesh Temple. In every temple I have see only male priest, but in that temple this women was a priest. I wonder to see that temple, because the temple will be very clean and her decoration for lord Ganesh will be very beautiful.
After watching her activities, I asked my mom about her. Who is that women
My mom told me that every one call her mame, she is a widow and good educated. Mom told that she has worked as a teacher in a school, some years back. One day she had felled down and wounded in her head, so some times she used to get fix & sworn, because of this her school has dismissed her, she argue with the school for re-return but they dint take her argue and send her out. But she dint worry and sit, she like to use here education to students, so she took a pledge to take her education to the students who are poor and cant go to school with there family problems. So she started teaching the poor children’s in the temple, who are living near the temple. She teaches the students without getting money form them, because all of them are very poor kids. She also works as a priest in a Pillaiyar (Ganesh) Temple near our house. We don know where she is staying, but the people in our area call her and give food every day. My moms also some times give her food and she also used to help my mom for taking water, putting kolam (drawing in flour) and sweeping our gateway. After some day, some gang people did problem and , said not to allow her to do poojas for god. so they spread wrong words like she was mentally affect so we should not allow her inside the temple. After these incidents she stopped her priest work, but she dint stop teaching lessons for the kids. I our area some people gave her space to take lessons for kids. Two years back when she was waking on the road she got fix and sworn that time a car hit her, and she died. She dint have any relatives or kids, so our area people have gathered and done her final ceremony. She has a good care on our society, and likes to keep our country very clean and does many help for our area people. I don’t know why the got is taking such a good people to him.

Giant Cat
This massive moggy weighs a staggering 15kg (2st 5lb) and has a 24inch waistline. He is so cat-astrophically overweight his owners have to ROLL him across the floor at home in Qingdao, China. They say their nine-year-old pet became obese because he chose to eat meat rather than fish from takeaways. This cat eats 2kg food every day.
But amazingly, this chubby chap is some way off beating the record for the world’s flabbiest feline. That honour belonged to an Australian puss called Himmy, who tipped the scales at 22kg (3st 6lb).

Bird Flu in India
eBy the by our Jo has singed an beautiful song Visit here
After flurry many countries, finaly the Bird Flu has arrived to India. In space of less than a year, the lethal strain of bird flu known as H5N1 has swept out of its strongholds in eastern Asia and spread swiftly to Russia, Europe, Africa, and West Asia. On Saturday, laboratory tests confirmed that the virus had arrived in India with an outbreak that killed 100’s of chicken in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra. For more than two years, the virus has ravaged poultry and caused human illness (and death) in many South-East Asian countries. Between April and June 2005, large numbers of wild water birds at Qinghai Lake in western China perished after being infected by the virus. By July-August, outbreaks involving the virus were reported from Mongolia, Siberia, and Kazakhstan. The virus reached Turkey, Croatia, Romania, and Greece by October. Ukraine reported outbreaks in November 2005.
The virus was infecting chicken and humans in northern Iraq by January this year. Earlier this month, Nigeria became the first African nation to report the virus, with an outbreak at a large commercial poultry farm. This month, many European countries, Egypt, and Iran found wild birds infected with H5N1. Migratory birds have often been blamed for spreading the virus. This perception has grown as the H5N1 viral strains involved in recent outbreaks, including in Nigeria, have been found to be very similar to the one found at the Qinghai Lake. At least some species of migratory waterfowl are now thought to be carrying the H5N1 in its highly pathogenic form and introducing it to new areas along their route, says the World Health Organization in its fact sheet on avian influenza.
Some months back I haveWritten that Bird Flu will attack India? Now it attacked India.
In India, the source of the infection that led to the outbreak in Nandurbar district is not clear. Bird migrations into the country were over by around November. If migratory birds had brought the virus, one would have expected outbreaks well before this. Moreover, such outbreaks ought to have occurred at places further north that the birds would have reached earlier. The wild birds would now be preparing to return to their spring breeding grounds. The Bombay Natural History Society's (BNHS) members and staff have been monitoring some 26 wetlands across the country on a fortnightly basis and had not reported any suspicious illness among wild birds. But now that H5N1 has arrived in India, the danger is that the virus could rapidly spread to poultry flocks across the country and beyond. Bird flu viruses can be readily transported from farm to farm by the movement of live birds, people, and contaminated vehicles, equipment, feed and cages, according to the WHO fact sheet on avian influenza. Highly pathogenic viruses such as the H5N1 can survive for long periods in the environment, especially when temperatures are low, it adds.
Although the Central and State Governments acted as soon as the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory at Bhopal confirmed the H5N1 infection in poultry in Nandurbar district, the outbreak is reported to have started a couple of weeks ago. If so, it is possible that the virus has already been carried out of the region in the course of the commercial trade in poultry. The massive cull and quarantine that has been ordered may not then suffice to stop the spread of the virus. The Indian helath Minister Anbumani has said samples of bird flu virus in humans, sent for re-confirmation to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Reference Laboratory in Hong Kong. The government said, all action are taken, there is no need to panic, If any have symptoms like fever or cold, immediately go to doctors. The neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal… have banned for importing Birds and Chicken. All vehicle coming form Maharashtra have been check and then only allowed to other states.
