Machine Learning
Definition: Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on enabling computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed for specific tasks.
How it Works: It involves training algorithms on large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions or decisions. For instance, a machine learning model can analyze past financial data to predict future stock prices.
Applications:
• Self-driving cars
• Image and speech recognition
• Personalized recommendations (e.g., Netflix, Amazon)

Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav, inaugurated the Advanced Facility for Pashmina Certification and Next Generation DNA Sequencing Facility at the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a revolutionary technology that enables the rapid and high-throughput decoding of entire genomes, analysing millions of DNA sequences simultaneously.
This allows researchers to gain deeper insights into genetic diversity, evolutionary relationships, and population health

Challenges of India’s GST rate structure
“COMPLEX GST”:
C - Complex Classifications
• Example: Different tax rates for popcorn based on whether it’s salted, pre-packaged, or sugar-mixed.
O - Overlapping Distinctions
• Example: Tax differences between cream buns and regular buns, or frozen parathas and rotis.
M - Multiple Tax Slabs
• Example: India has four or more GST slabs compared to most countries with one or two rates.
P - Power (Discretionary) of Bureaucrats
• Example: Excessive authority due to the system’s intricacy, leading to potential misuse.
L - Lack of Uniformity
• Example: Different rates across similar products create confusion for businesses and consumers.
E - Ease of Doing Business Affected
• Example: Complex tax structures make compliance more challenging for enterprises.
X - Excessive Compliance Burden
• Example: Businesses struggle to navigate and adhere to varied tax rates and regulations.
G - Global Comparisons Unfavorable
• Example: India’s multiple tax slabs are out of sync with simpler global systems.
S - Systemic Inefficiencies
• Example: Complexity hampers the overall efficiency and implementation of GST.
T - Taxpayer Confusion
• Example: Ambiguities and distinctions leave taxpayers unclear about applicable rates.

🔆La Niña?
✅La Niña is a phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) that occurs when sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean become cooler than usual.
✅It is the opposite of El Niño, which brings warming in the same region. Both phases significantly influence global weather patterns.
🔆How La Niña Affects Global Climate?
✅India: Promotes normal to above-normal monsoon rainfall, leading to better agricultural yields.
✅Africa: Causes drought-like conditions in certain regions.
✅Atlantic Ocean: Intensifies hurricanes.
✅United States: Southern states receive increased rainfall during La Niña.
📍La Niña and India’s Climate
Winter Effects:
✅Colder Winters: La Niña winters tend to bring colder nights in northern India but with slightly higher daytime temperatures.
✅Wind Speed and Pollution:
Higher Wind Speeds help disperse air pollution, improving air quality.
✅Lower Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) may trap pollutants closer to the ground, worsening pollution.

🔆Manganese:
✅Manganese is the fifth-most abundant metal on earth that exists in the form of oxides, carbonates and silicates.
✅It is present in water, soil and rock as a naturally occurring component.
Properties
✅It is too brittle to be of much use as a pure metal. It is mainly used in alloys, such as steel.
✅Its minerals are widely distributed, with pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) and rhodochrosite (manganese carbonate) being the most common.
✅It somewhat resembles iron in general chemical activity.
✅It oxidizes superficially in air and rusts in moist air.
✅It is obtained by reducing the oxide with sodium, magnesium or aluminium, or by the electrolysis of manganese sulfate.
✅Its ores are primarily found in Australia, South Africa, China, Gabon and Brazil.
✅It is essential for the growth of plants and is also involved in the assimilation of nitrates in plants and algae.

Gaia BH3 - Massive Black Hole:
✍️ Astronomers have discovered a massive Black Hole in our Galaxy, named “Gaia BH3”.
✍️ It’s the 2nd-closest known Black hole to Earth. It is 33 times heavier than the sun and the most massive black hole of stellar origin in the Milky Way, surpassing Cygnus X-1.
✍️ Stellar black holes are formed as a result of the collapse of a single star.
✍️ Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape, making it difficult to spot them.
✍️ They are formed when a massive star collapses in on itself at the end of its life, creating an incredibly dense object with a gravitational pull that is so strong that it warps space-time around it.
✍️ Supermassive Black Hole masses ranging from millions to billions of times that of the sun, found at the centres of most galaxies including our own Milky Way galaxy.
