The King of pop Michael Joseph Jackson or MJ born on August 29, 1958 has recently reported dead on June 25. He is said to die of Cardiac Arrest at the age of 50.
He was an American recording artist and entertainer. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the “King of Pop” in subsequent years, four of his solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995), while his 1982 Thriller is the world’s best-selling record of all time.
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as “Beat It“, “Billie Jean” and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as “Black or White” and “Scream” made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era. Jackson’s highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.

International Atomic Energy Agency has declared to help UN to curb Malaria. Every year Malaria claims thousands of deaths worldwide. Actually, female mosquitos spread the Malaria bacteria to human; the male mosquito are not the peddlers of the bacteria.
IAEA plans to spread the unharmful male mos
quitos turned impotent by the controlled-atomic radiation. This is how they wont help females to multiply their population and control Malaria.
IAEA is going to test this method in northen Sudan.
Pre-historic Bacteria found in Greenland
•June 24, 2009 • Leave a Commentवैज्ञानिकों को ऐसे बैक्टीरिया या जीवाणुओं को सक्रिय करने में सफलता मिली है जो कि कम-से-कम 1,20,000 वर्षों से निष्क्रिय पड़े थे.
पूरा किस्सा ये है कि ग्रीनलैंड में ड्रिलिंग के दौरान क़रीब तीन किलोमीटर की गहराई से निकाले गए हिमखंड में दो अलग-अलग प्रजातियों के जीवाणु मिले थे.
हिमखंड के काल के हिसाब से दोनों जीवाणुओं को भी कम-से-कम एक लाख 20 हज़ार वर्ष पुराना माना गया.
सामान्य जीवाणुओं से क़रीब 50 गुना छोटे आकार के इन दोनों जीवाणुओं को बहुत ही धीरे-धीरे सामान्य माहौल में लाया गया. इस प्रक्रिया में महीनों लगे.
एक बार सक्रिय होते ही बैंगनी रंग वाले इन जीवाणुओं ने अपना कुनबा बनाना शुरू कर दिया. यानि पूरी तरह सामान्य जीवन जीने लगे.
इस चमत्कारिक प्रयोग की रिपोर्ट इस हफ़्ते एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय विज्ञान जर्नल में छपी है. इस अध्ययन की अगुआई करने वाली वैज्ञानिक जेनिफ़र लवलैंड-कर्ट्ज़ के अनुसार इस शोध से इस संभावना को बल मिलता है कि मंगल ग्रह या बृहस्पति ग्रह के चाँद यूरोपा के अति-ठंडे माहौल में भी कोई-न-कोई सूक्ष्म जीव मौजूद हो सकता है.
