Shilpa-Raj baby named Viaan

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty and husband-entrepreneur Raj Kundra held a quiet naming ceremony for their newborn son. The child, only 17 days old, was named Viaan Raj Kundra.

The priest advised the parents that the child’s name should start with the letter ‘V’ since it’s an auspicious alphabet for the baby, going by his birth chart. The star kid’s naming ceremony was held at Shilpa and Raj’s Juhu pad, and was attended by family only.

Shilpa’s parents, Surendra and Sunanda, sister Shamita, and Raj’s parents, Bala Krishnan and Usha Rani Kundra were present. Shilpa and Raj have been married for three years and the couple confirmed the pregnancy news in December last year.

After the baby's birth, Raj had expressed his happiness on Twitter.

Giant hairy spiders bite Indians

Giant hairy spiders bite Indians

Large biting spiders have sparked panic in remote northeast India, but health authorities fear primitive treatment of the bites' painful swelling may be more dangerous than the spiders themselves.

Two people died in Tinsukia district after witch doctors used razor blades to drain the wounds. It's not known if the victims died from spider poison or from the attempted treatment. Local magistrate Kishore Thakuria said the victims were cremated before autopsies could be done.

Another seven bite victims have been treated with antibiotics against infection after they also tried themselves to drain their wounds, said Dr. Anil Phapowali at the local Sadiya town hospital.

The hairy spiders were noticed about a month ago across Tinsukia district's grassy plains and dense jungle forests north of the Brahmaputra River.

Ecologist LR Saikia at Assam's Dibrugarh University said it may be a previously unknown species of tarantula. The spiders are roughly the size of a person's thumb.

"It looks like a new species. We haven't been able to identify it," he said Tuesday. Officials cannot use anti-venom in treating bite victims until the species is identified.

Meanwhile, villagers are keeping lamps on at night and standing guard against spiders entering their mud-and-thatch huts. There are about 100,000 villagers, mostly poor rice farmers, living in the area cut off from roads by the river.

Officials say the spiders are now also showing up south of the Brahmaputra.

Venus transit

A transit of Venus across the sun takes place when the planet venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth (or another planet), becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the Solar disk. During a transis, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun. The duration of such transits is usually measured in hours (the transit of 2012 lasted 6 hours and 40 minutes). A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon. While the diameter of Venus is more than 3 times that of the Moon, Venus appears smaller, and travels more slowly across the face of the Sun, because it is much farther away from Earth.

Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena. They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years. The periodicity is a reflection of the fact that the orbital periods of Earth and Venus are closesto 8:13 and 243:395 commensurabilities.

The last transit of Venus was on 5 and 6 June 2012, and was the last Venus transit of the 21st century; the prior transit took place on 8 June 2004. The previous pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. The next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125.
