Among elephant remains some 500,000 years old at a Lower Palaeolithic site in Revadim, Israel, professor Ran Barkai of the Tel Aviv University and colleagues recently analysed 'hand axes' and 'scrapers', replete with animal residue. The research, published recently in PLOS ONE, represents the first scientifically verified direct evidence for the precise use of Palaeolithic stone tools - to process animal carcasses and hides.

கூடா நட்பு


உலக நிகழ்வுகளை அலசி அசை போடும்,
ஊக்கம் நிறைந்த எலியும், தவளையும்,
நீண்ட நாள் நண்பர்கள், ஒன்றாகவே இருப்பர்,
நீங்கி இருக்க முடியாத நெருங்கிய நட்பு!

“அணு ஆயுதங்களால், உலகுக்கு மிகுந்த
ஆபத்து”, என்று கேட்ட இவ்விரு நண்பர்கள்,
செய்வது அறியாமல் திகைத்து நின்று பின்,
சேர்ந்தே இருப்போம் என்று தீர்மானித்தனர்.

உறுதியான ஒரு கயிற்றை எடுத்து வந்து,
உறுதியாகக் தங்கள் ஒவ்வொரு காலை
சேர்த்து கட்டினர், மனம் மிக மகிழ்ந்தனர்;
சேர்ந்து இருவரும் ஒன்றாய் இருப்பதாலே.

நேரம் சென்றது, தவளையின் உடல்
நீரின்றி வறண்டு காய்ந்து போனது.
நீரை நோக்கி தவளை தாவியது.
நீரில் மூழ்கினால் இறந்துவிடும் எலி.

எலி ஒரு புறமும் தவளை மறுபுறமும்,
எக்கி இழுக்கவே இரண்டும் அரண்டன.
அணு யுத்தம் என இரண்டும் மிரண்டு,
ஆளுக்கு ஒரு பக்கம் இழுக்கும் போது;

வானில் வட்டமிட்டுப் பறந்த பருந்து,
வானளவாகிய மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தது.
மின்னல் போல கீழே இறங்கி, அந்த
பின்னிய கயிற்றை எடுத்துப் பறந்தது.

இருபுறம் தொங்கும் இரண்டு நண்பர்களும்
இனிய உணவாயினர் அந்த பருந்துக்கு.
"கூடா நட்பினால் கேடே வரும்”, என்று
காட்டிடவே உயிர் துறந்தனர் இவர்கள் .

நல்ல நண்பர்களே நன்மைகள் புரிவர்.
அல்லாத நண்பர்களால் கேடே விளையும்.
நல்ல நண்பர்களையே என்றும் நாடுங்கள்,
நலம் பல பெற்று வளமுடன் வாழுங்கள்.

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
 விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

[h=3]Astronomers set to scour sky with infrared detector to search aliens | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis[/h] Astronomers will scour the sky with infrared detector to search extraterrestrial intelligence from other worlds. The NIROSETI team has created an infrared detector inside the dome at Lick Observatory that would scan the sky for pulses of infrared light. It also takes less energy to send the same amount of information using infrared signals than it would with visible light. Charles Townes, the late UC Berkeley scientist whose contributions to the development of lasers led to a Nobel Prize, suggested the idea in a paper published in 1961.

In this context, Panneerselvam recalled the passing of an unanimous resolution in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on December 5, 2014 urging Centre to advise Karnataka not to proceed with construction of two new dams at Mekedatu.
