The Earth-watching craft is ready with a high power camera and the instrument called MODIS — acronym for “Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. After every one to two days MODIS helps capture a full image of Earth’s surface.

Started this Wednesday and have continued to multiply and spread the fires raging throughout San Diego driven by strong winds, dry conditions and temperatures of above 100 degrees.

San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said in an interview that “As a native San Diegan, I have never seen the Santa Ana winds — also called ‘the devil winds’ — in the month of May,”

Probably, what afraid you more is a ground-level video taken a fire tornado bouncing forth from one of the glows a rare incidence when large fires meet dangerous wind instability.

The cancer is cure-able by the engineered measles virus. In future the possibility is high that cancer would consider as curable disease like fever or malaria.

The claim is on the basis of a research by the Mayo Clinic, where the team vaccinated two cancer patients with “the highest possible dose” of an engineered measles virus. As past studies already confirmed that virus is capable of killing myeloma-infected plasma cells while frugal the normal tissue.

Both patients responded well to the treatment and showed decreases in bone marrow cancer and myeloma protein. Stacy Erholtz, one of the patients, experienced complete reduction her cancer cured for six months.

Study’s coauthor Stephen Russell said that, “Viruses naturally destroy tissue and the measles virus appears to cause cancer cells to group together and “explode” which not only destroys them but also helps alert the patient’s immune system to their presence”.

Perhaps the second patient didn’t show the complete recovery but the biotherapy was still effective in targeting and treating sites of her tumor growth.

According to Russell, “The ultimate goal for this therapy is “a single-shot cure for cancer”. The research is for serving the mankind and might change how we socialize and lives would be more risk free but a lot more work has to be done to progress the dealing for other cancer victims.

Philippine Scientists Discover New Species of Metal-Munching Plant that is capable of absorbing metal without dying or poisoning itself. This plant came out of a species named Rinorea niccolifera, according to the scientist, this species can be used for the purpose of cleaning the soil that have been polluted through metal harvesting. There are 300,000 known species of plants on earth capable of absorbing large amount of metal through roots; they are called vascular plants and one out of 450 known species of hyper accumulator plants. The author of the study and researcher of this plant is Professor Edwino from the University of Philippines.

According to Professor Fernando the Rinorea Niccolifera’s leaves can take in more than 18,000 parts of nickel of n per million this rate is a thousand times more than what any other known plant species can absorb while being safe, beside this plant can also be harvested for the metal it takes in by absorbing.

Rinorea Niccolifera believes that he can remove heavy amount of metal that is hazardous to the echo system with the help of these plant. This plant can also be useful for people and can play significant role for those who work in mining industry. During a press conference the researchers said that, there is an area in the western part of Luzon Island in the Philippines there they found this species. This area is well known for the nature of its soil, that it contains heavy amount of metal. This plant has earned relevant environmental credentials while being an interesting and helpful new scientific discovery.
