While the elders wracked their brains to make a good guess, the children brimming with curiosity declared it was a gift by the aliens.
Gurgaon: A rumble in the sky and a loud thud a few seconds later shook villagers in Fazilpur Badli yesterday, leaving them wondering what had happened. Rajbir Yadav was in a wheat field when a "large rock" made its way to the ground, forming a one-foot crater. Was it a missile, a bomb or a meteor?
A terrified, befuddled Mr Yadav sprinted to the village head, another villager, Sukhbir Singh, said. The news spread like wildfire and a few minutes later, a large number of the villagers had circled the frigid "rock", which later turned out to be human poop.
"It is a white, holy stone gifted by the aliens," a child exclaimed. "Jaadoo" from the film "Koi Mil Gaya" had one, he said. Others conjectured it was a rare mineral or a celestial object, sneaked a few pieces into their homes and stowed them in the fridge, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Pataudi, Vivek Kalia told news agency PTI.
A few people approached the district administration, and a team comprising officials from the Meteorological department and the National Disaster Management Authority was formed under Mr Kalia.
The team found the "celestial gift" the whole village was talking about the entire day was "blue ice", a term used for frozen toilet waste leaking from aircraft, Mr Kalia said.
"It appears to be human waste disposed off mid-air by an aircraft. The forensic team sent a sample to a lab in Bhondsi to ascertain what it is. The report will be out by Monday," he added.

The forces of nature are rapidly creating a sizeable isle off the coast of North Carolina.
Not so fast, Mr. Twain.
A geologist might argue this is simply a matter of collecting materials in one place and rearranging them somewhere else. But be assured human beings and Mother Nature are in the terra firma business big time.
China has been using an amalgam of sand, rocks and concrete to build islands in the South China Sea. Seven of them, in fact, according to a recent story in Newsweek. Citing U.S. government sources, the magazine reported 3,200 new acres are high and dry.
This isn’t an exercise in Construction 101, either.
Closer to home, the forces of nature are rapidly creating a sizable isle off the coast of North Carolina.
True, this process of give-sand/take-sand has occurred since the dawn of creation. But here is a major exception.
The thing only sprouted from the Atlantic in April, yet it’s big and getting bigger — to the point it already has a name: Shelly Island, due to abundant seashells. A story about this chunk appeared in the June issue of National Geographic.
“Even for this place, this new formation is of a scale rarely seen,” wrote Craig Welch. “The crescent-shaped spit is close to a mile long. At its widest point, the island reaches a football field or more across."
Happens here in East Tennessee, too, courtesy of TVA.
As any pleasure boater, water skier, fisherman or duck hunter can attest, islands regularly arise when lake levels drop — and often quickly. Every year, a number of outboard motors get nicked, whacked, dinged and sometimes destroyed when the operator, uh, “discovers” one of them.
Your Uncle Skipper speaks from experience. One winter afternoon some 40 years ago, I donated a hunk of metal from a 20-horse Mercury to Fort Loudoun Lake. The hell of it is, I knew this rocky mound was about to emerge; I just wasn’t paying close enough attention.
Amazing how the bill from your friendly local marine dealer can make you perk up and take notice.

Science is under attack at the very moment when we need it most. President Donald Trump’s March 28 executive order went much further than simply throwing a lifeline to fossil fuels, as industry-funded congressional climate change–deniers have done in the past. It intentionally blinded the federal government to the impacts of climate change by abolishing an interagency group that measured the cost of carbon to public health and the environment. Now, the government won’t have a coordinated way to account for damages from climate change when assessing the costs and benefits of a particular policy.
With that in mind, Trump should read the landmark “2020” report now published by Mission 2020, a group of experts convened by the former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The report establishes a timeline for how we can ensure a safe and stable climate. We don’t have much time — 2020 is a clear turning point.
If emissions continue to rise beyond 2020, the world stands very little chance of limiting global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the threshold set by the Paris Agreement, and a temperature limit that many of the world’s most vulnerable communities consider a threshold for survival. We have four years to bend the curve of global greenhouse gas emissions toward a steady decline.
The good news is, we’re already moving in the right direction. Global carbon emissions have plateaued, and are projected to remain flat over the coming years, thanks to China’s widespread economic transformation and the global boom in renewable energy production. The 2020 climate turning point is within reach.
But, as the authors of the report reveal, the bad news is we aren’t moving fast. Thankfully, there is a range of actions that, if achieved, can deliver a safe future. The study shows that by 2020, renewable energy must beat out coal in all major energy markets. Countries must commit to electrifying the transportation system, and transmission infrastructure must be built out to host efficient, low-carbon energy systems. Deforestation must be reined in, and the restoration of already degraded land must be well underway. All of the Fortune 500 companies that represent heavy industries must have committed to the Paris targets, and their emissions-reduction plans must be in effect. And, finally, capital markets must double investment in zero-emission technologies.
Around the world, more and more politicians are listening to scientists. Nearly 200 heads of state adopted the Paris Agreement in December of 2015, and 136 have since ratified the deal in record time. Leaders in China and India have redoubled investments in renewables, and investors across the developed world are walking away from coal. And last fall, all 197 parties to the Montreal Protocol adopted a critical amendment that will phase down Hydrofluorocarbon, a particularly potent greenhouse gas.
Even in the United States, where public concern about climate is high but doubt of the scientific consensus on climate change has also spiked in recent years (I should know, having recently testified to the climate change–denying chair of the House Science Committee), and where the new Administration wants to stop funding climate science, many politicians are redoubling their commitment to climate action. From mayors of major cities to Congressional Republicans to the Defense Secretary, serious policy responses are being debated.
The only way to avoid dangerous climate change, and to keep the 1.5 degree Celsius target in play, is to step up our ambition by 2020, and deliver emissions reductions across all sectors. Only by drawing down global carbon emissions, by making sure that they drop steadily from 2020 forward, can we ensure that the world avoids the worst fates of climate change.
Science has no political affiliation and shouldn’t be a political issue. Chemistry and physics don’t care who is president or which party runs a parliament. No politician should ignore the warnings of scientists, economists and military leaders, and argue against health, increased stability and economic prosperity — all of which depend on how the world responds to climate change.
There is no denying it: 2020 will be a very important year.
St. Johns County Commissioners, who learned Monday that JEA rates here could rise because Jacksonville's police and fire pension funds are broke, will decide today what to do.
If the JEA must pay up to $40 million a year to the city, it could be forced to raise electric, water and sewer rates for thousands of its customers in St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties.
County Attorney Patrick McCormack plans to brief the commissioners on the issue and ask them if they want to adopt a position statement.
"The (commission) has taken note of the proposed plan to use JEA revenues for the city's pension fund," McCormack said. "JEA revenues pay for pension funds of other city of Jacksonville employees who have no relationship to utilities."
JEA has 30,747 water customers, 20,711 sewer customers and 14,680 electricity customers in St. Johns County.
He said Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown's office believes JEA won't have to raise rates to help that city's firefighter and police pension fund.
"But," McCormack said. "You're (not) going to siphon off $40 million a year and not increase rates."
A Florida Times-Union story by Nate Monroe suggested that JEA pay an additional $40 million a year - a total of $560 million over 14 years - to help the pension funds.
"Brown's proposal does not call for - and he insists it would not require - JEA to raise rates to help the city with its pension problem," Monroe's story said.
On Monday, Nassau County officials said they had authorized a resolution indicating opposition to that solution but it wasn't yet completed. Nassau County Attorney David Hallman will present that resolution at 9 a.m. Wednesday in Yulee.
JEA services 5,914 water customers and 4,680 sewer customers in Nassau County.
In Clay County, the company services 3,393 home and business water customers, 3,139 sewer customers and 4,558 electric customers.
St. Johns County Commissioner Cyndi Stevenson, whose District 1 in the Northwest contains mostly JEA customers, said she's opposed to the increase of the utility's rates.
"We have had this conversation with JEA before, but they are (owned by the city of Jacksonville and) not in charge of their own destiny," she said. "Even though St. Johns customers are paying the same rates as everyone else, we're already subsidizing the city of Jacksonville's general government."
For years, St. Johns and JEA had a contract requiring JEA to pay the county a certain percentage of its gross revenue just for doing business here.
Payments were to be made every 10 years. The last payment was more than $1 million.
But Stevenson said that arrangement has been altered so JEA made small payments more frequently.
"I don't think JEA will be very happy to pass on a rate increase to its customers," she said.
Analysis of Hubble observations of the massive globular cluster NGC 2808 provides evidence that it has three generations of stars that formed early in the cluster's life. This is a major upset for conventional theories as astronomers have long thought that globular star clusters had a single "baby boom" of stars early in their lives and then settled down into a long, quiet middle age.
"The standard picture of a globular cluster is that all of its stars formed at the same time, in the same place, and from the same material, and that they have co-evolved for billions of years," said team member Luigi Bedin of ESO in Garching, Germany, the European Space Agency, and Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, USA. "This is the cornerstone on which much of the study of stellar populations has been built. So we were very surprised to find several distinct populations of stars in NGC 2808. All of the stars were born within 200 million years very early in the life of the 13-billion-year-old massive cluster."
Around the time of the millennium it was Starbucks. Back then, if an estate agent was instructed to sell a home within a bean’s throw of one of the coffee brand’s new locations, it was mentioned in the property details – a sign of an area with house prices as frothy as a latte.
A decade later, it was Waitrose. Savills said homes near one could carry a 25 per cent premium, but then the supermarket chain expanded to 350 stores including some at motorway service stations, making them less of a draw to the aspirational house buyer. Now another brand – celebrating its 100th birthday – is becoming the benchmark of a fashionable area: The Ivy.
Quite aside from increasing consumption of Ivy specialities such as burrata with asparagus and truffle chicken brioche rolls, one consequence of these new restaurants and cafés is that local estate agents are suddenly rewriting their brochures to show off the new brand.
“Many of our buyers have moved from London and abroad, so having an internationally recognised eatery demonstrates that Cobham is an upmarket area that can offer a similar lifestyle,” says Nathaniel Bracegirdle of Knight Frank’s office in the Surrey commuter town, where an Ivy brasserie opened on Thursday.
Knight Frank has calculated five-year price movements of homes in areas where Ivy cafés or brasseries have recently opened or are about to launch. Predictably, the price rises are bigger than the fattest club sandwich. Increases between May 2012 and May 2017 range from 31 per cent in St John’s Wood, north-west London, to more than 60 per cent in Richmond, the City and Tower Bridge.
Properties in Cobham have grown in value by 33 per cent over the last five years, while prices in Marlow in Buckinghamshire, where The Ivy Marlow Garden opened this week, have increased by 49 per cent.
If you dismiss this as estate agency whimsy, think again. While many of us are more concerned with raising a deposit and securing a mortgage when purchasing a home, other buyers are not shy about insisting on being near the best brands.
“With the new Soho Farmhouse private club branch opening in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, a lot of potential buyers for country homes want to be no more than a 20 to 30-minute drive away,” says Camilla Dell of Black Brick, a buying agency for high-end clients.
Philip Harvey of Property Vision, says a perfect combination of brands for demanding clients could include a Sweaty Betty sportswear shop, a Juice Smith juice bar and boutique cinemas such as the Everyman and Curzon.
“Once upon a time a Waitrose would have been top of a buyer’s wishlist,” Harvey says. “Now, Londoners moving out have far higher expectations from their local high street.” But not everyone is convinced, however. Some sense a rebellion against the onward march of global retailers hand-in-hand with growing house prices.
Buyers are attracted by the cumulative effect of these clusters of shops and restaurants, rather than the individual brands, says Simon Barnes of the property consultancy H Barnes & Co.
This might be particularly true of the first-time buyer market. Research by Savills shows that younger diners who are under 34 are particularly quick to try new restaurant brands when they open locally compared to older customers.
They then share reviews on social media, which is considered a marketing boon for casual dining names such as Shake Shack and Meat Liquor, and, no doubt, the more upmarket cafés and brasseries of The Ivy Collection.
The industry that services fire extinguishers at shops, offices, restaurants, manufacturing plants and many other businesses across the city is plagued by unscrupulous firms that scam customers, The Post has learned.
A number of the 51 companies licensed to test, refill and inspect extinguishers misrepresent themselves and dupe customers as they battle for shares of the multimillion-dollar market, Fire Department officials and industry insiders say.
Worse, in some cases they could jeopardize workplace safety, said Jim Kelty, supervising fire marshal at FDNY’s Manhattan Command.
Kelty said fire marshals are investigating one firm but declined to name the company. Others, he said, “are definitely on our radar” because of accusations they’ve chiseled customers.
Insiders say that a common tactic involves rogue firms calling businesses and pretending to be from the customers’ regular service provider.
The extinguisher company books an appointment with the customer, then shows up to check on the canisters. Afterward, it presents a bill – often for much more than what the regular provider charges.
In 2000, the FDNY began requiring extinguisher service firms to be certified, but scrutiny of the industry is lax. No firm has been prosecuted or sanctioned, despite complaints to the Fire Department from customers who feel they’ve been ripped off.
Among those calling for action are the reputable extinguisher companies.
“We run into this problem about once a week,” said Mildred Munich, office manager at Active Fire, a firm started by her family in 1942.
“I don’t know if what these firms are doing is illegal, or if it’s just considered competition,” said Munich. “But in many of the cases I know about, it’s definitely misrepresentation.
“If there’s a fire, and a person delays calling the Fire Department while they reach for an extinguisher, and that extinguisher hasn’t been serviced correctly, you’ve got serious, potentially deadly consequences.
Hard work, low pay and miserable conditions.
College is supposedly he time of your life. Take a moment to appreciate it.
These days it’s sometimes tough to stop, breathe and appreciate what’s going on around you. We know, it’s tough for us too. But with midterms coming it’s incredibly important that we do appreciate these moments.
It has been hectic here in The Torch’s office since the term began. We know — things are rough for everyone right now.
Ever since the recession a few years back it seems like everyone is doing the jobs of at least two people. For some reason stores continue to have only one checkout lane open, despite having throngs of customers waving cash in the faces of overwhelmed clerks.
Bureaucracy remains backed-up as bean counters, stamp stampers, and data enterers now seem to have more papers than ever piled up in their in-bins.
Teachers feel the stress as enrollment continues to drop and Lane’s budget continues to crunch. Students struggle to graduate before they rack up so much debt that they can’t pay it off. Lane as an institution started shifting policies, such as requiring a new form for unsubsidized loans, in response to the fact that so many of its students were defaulting on their college loans that the school was in danger of being sanctioned by the government.
Everyone is working harder. Tempers are shorter, and work days are longer. We don’t eat right, we don’t exercise enough, and we don’t take care of ourselves like we should. Worst of all, some days it seems like we’re on autopilot.
It’s cool, you and us; we’ve both got stuff going on. Ourselves? We’ve got four issues out now, the first four this group of people put out together, that we’re very proud of.
We know you have stuff going on too. Maybe you like to spend time with loved ones. Maybe you write little stories to pass the time. Maybe you love to crusade against the man. Maybe you’re in a field of study that fascinates you. Maybe you’re studying to be the man. Maybe you’re a little like us; masochistic workaholics.
Take some time, and appreciate the good things. Appreciate your kid, who somehow went straight from toddler to goth … or is it emo? Appreciate your significant other who puts up with you when they probably shouldn’t. Appreciate the hard-won opportunities ahead of yourself.
It won’t solve everything, but it’ll help. We’re four weeks into the term, and those midterms are just around the corner.
Get caught up with what you need to, but take a day this weekend or next and really reflect. That could mean yoga, it could mean a night at the bar with friends, or it could even mean a trip to see relatives. Whatever it is, find something that appeals to what you’re doing why you’re doing it, then regroup.
You’ll be happier for it, your work will be better, and you’ll be far more likely to survive the rest of the term.
Police officers across Virginia are planning an effort to enforce traffic laws, particularly seat-belt and child-restraint use.
