Vaidehi Bhargava

The La Niña effect is a climatic phenomenon characterized by the cooling of surface ocean waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator. It is part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, which significantly influences global weather patterns. During La Niña, trade winds strengthen, pushing warm water towards Asia and allowing colder water to upwell along the equator near South America. This cooling has far-reaching impacts on weather, ecosystems, and economies worldwide.

Impact of La Niña on Global Weather

La Niña tends to cause colder winters in parts of Asia and North America and wetter conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia. In contrast, it can lead to drier weather in regions like the southern United States and South America. The phenomenon typically lasts 9–12 months but can persist for multiple years, as seen during the rare triple-dip La Niña from 2020–2023.

La Niña’s Effect on India

For India, La Niña usually brings above-average monsoon rainfall, benefiting agriculture but sometimes causing floods. However, its impact on winters is a mixed bag. La Niña is often associated with colder-than-normal winters in northern India, as the phenomenon encourages the flow of cold air masses from the Arctic and Eurasian regions into the Indian subcontinent.

Will India Face Its Coldest Winter in 2024-25?

India is currently transitioning from a prolonged La Niña phase to an El Niño-dominated year, as El Niño conditions have developed in late 2023. However, the residual effects of La Niña may still influence early winter patterns. El Niño winters in India are usually warmer, but the presence of other factors, like the Arctic Oscillation and snowfall in Siberia, could lead to sharp cold spells in northern India. Thus, while the winter may not be the coldest, parts of India could still experience intense cold waves, particularly in regions like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

Broader Implications

The interplay of La Niña, El Niño, and other climatic drivers highlights the complexity of weather forecasting. A colder winter may increase energy demand, impacting costs, while agricultural regions could see changes in crop yields. Understanding La Niña’s effects can help policymakers, farmers, and industries prepare for these shifts.

In conclusion, while India may not face its coldest winter this year, regions could still experience colder-than-usual spells, making La Niña’s legacy significant even as it fades into the background.

Giraffe populations are declining at such an alarming rate — from habitat loss, poaching, urbanization and climate change-fueled drought — that US wildlife officials announced a proposal on Wednesday to help protect several of the species, the first time the animal would receive protection under the law.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing many giraffe species as either endangered or threatened. It’s the first time the long-necked mammals, native to Africa, would receive federal protections under the Endangered Species Act.

Declaring a species “endangered” is the most severe level of threat under the law, indicating the species is at immediate risk of extinction. Meanwhile, a species is labeled “threatened” when it is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.

“Federal protections for giraffes will help protect a vulnerable species, foster biodiversity, support ecosystem health, combat wildlife trafficking, and promote sustainable economic practices,” US Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams said in a statement. “This action supports giraffe conservation while ensuring the United States does not contribute further to their decline.

The three subspecies of northern giraffe officials are proposing to be listed as endangered include the West African, Kordofan and Nubian giraffes, whose populations have plummeted by roughly 77% since 1985, from 25,653 to 5,919 individuals.

In response to declining giraffe populations caused by poaching, habitat loss and climate change , the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing federal protections for several giraffe species.

After reviewing the best available scientific and commercial information, the Service proposes listing all three subspecies of northern giraffe from west, central and east Africa as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The Service also proposes listing two giraffe species from east Africa as threatened with tailored protections through a 4(d) rule.

The Service proposes the following listings:

West African, Kordofan and Nubian giraffes as endangered.
Reticulated giraffe as threatened with a 4(d) rule.
Masai giraffe as threatened with a 4(d) rule.

U.S. officials hope the move will help clamp down on the poaching of giraffes by restricting the import of their body parts and products such as rugs, jewelry and shoes made with them, which are contributing to their declines.

The proposed rule, if finalized, will benefit giraffes by:

Reducing illegal hunting and trade of giraffes by requiring permits for import into the U.S.
Increasing funding for species conservation in its range countries, research efforts to address conservation needs and U.S. and global awareness about the decline in giraffes.
Providing limited financial assistance to develop and manage programs to conserve giraffes.

Do you know about this Charan Temple in Jaipur?

EBNW Story

November 26, 2024, 3:27 PM

Khushi Sharma

Jaipur is one of the few cities having many heritage temples. Records from the mid-1940s indicate there were more than 600 temples within the walled city area of Jaipur. Some of these temples were constructed many centuries ago with the royal patronage. This manifests in their architectural style, layout, and placement at the prominent sites in the city. Temples like Garh Ganesh and Charan Mandir are two such historic temples commissioned by Jaipur royalty; both predates Jaipur city. While Garh Ganesh overlooks the city from a hillock, Charan Mandir, on the other hand, towers over the hills of Nahargarh Fort. It provides panoramic views of the surrounding areas.

Maharajah Sawai Mansingh I who ruled from Amer Fort built this temple. He was a devout follower of Lord Krishna. As per the local legend, Lord Krishna appeared in Maharajah Sawai Mansingh’s dream and instructed him to build a temple in Ambica Van. The region surrounding Amer Fort and Nahargarh Fort was once called Ambica Van (forest). It’s being claimed that Charan Mandir has Charan Chinha (foot marks) of Lord Krishna.

Charan Mandir is just not the usual temples we that we find in the neighborhood around us in terms of architecture and layout. Its layout is unusual with a huge tower attached to the temple complex and fortified walls on its perimeter. The temple complex also has a large water storage tank.

Where is Charan Mandir located?

The temple is located on the way to Nahargarh Fort. Notably it is located in middle of Nahargarh Reserve forest. There is only one road connecting it to rest of the city.

Places to visit near Charan Mandir

Here are some places to visit (tourist spots) with their respective distances from the temple so that the mapping plan for reaching there remains easy and flexible for you

Nahargarh Fort (2.2 KMs from Charan Mandir in Jaipur)
Jaigarh Fort (4.2 KMs from Charan temple in Jaipur)
Amer Fort (8.7 KMs from Charan Mandir in Jaipur)
Gaitore ki Chhatriya (9.9 KMs from Charan temple in Jaipur)
Hawamahal (12.4 KMs from Charan Mandir in Jaipur)

Charan Mandir Jaipur Timing

The temple opens for devotees with sunrise and closes by sunset. As the temple is located between the forest areas it is advised to avoid visiting temple during dark.

Reason to visit Charan Temple

Apart from the religious significance of the site the forest is natural habitat of many species of wild animals and birds. Although, during the visiting hours the chances to spot a wild animal is low but the site is promising of beautiful bird watching point. Also, Charan Mandir offers one of the best views of sunrise in Jaipur. But, during sunset the sun sets behind the huge walls of temple so it gets difficult to watch the view. But the view of Nahargarh Forest from top of the minaret of temple is certainly refreshing

How Does Math Relate to the Life Cycle of Periodical Cicadas?

Dimple Arora

November 26, 2024, 3:02 PM

In a rare and fascinating natural event, two broods of periodical cicadas—Brood XIX from the southeastern United States and Brood XIII from the Midwest—have emerged together for the first time in over 200 years. Adding to this marvel, Australian greengrocer cicadas, which follow a seven-year cycle, have also synchronized their appearance, an alignment that takes a staggering 1,547 years. Beneath this biological wonder lies a profound connection between math and nature, particularly the role of prime numbers in the life cycles of cicadas.

The Prime-Driven Life Cycle

Periodical cicadas spend the majority of their lives underground, emerging only every 13 or 17 years for a brief period to mate and reproduce before dying. This peculiar timing, rooted in prime numbers, serves a vital evolutionary purpose.

Prime-numbered life cycles minimize overlap with predators whose life spans typically range from 2 to 7 years. For example, a cicada emerging every 12 years would encounter a 2-year predator every six years. In contrast, a 13-year cycle only overlaps once every 26 years, greatly reducing predator encounters and enhancing survival odds.

The Role of Mathematics

The mathematical concept of the lowest common multiple (LCM) underpins this survival strategy. By adhering to prime-numbered cycles, cicadas minimize synchronization with predators and even other cicada broods. This reduces interbreeding between broods, preserving genetic diversity and ensuring the resilience of their populations.

For instance, Australian greengrocer cicadas (7-year cycle) and American cicadas (13- or 17-year cycles) rarely emerge together due to the LCM of these numbers—1,547 years. The last recorded synchronization of these species dates back to 477 AD, coinciding with the decline of the Western Roman Empire, adding historical intrigue to this phenomenon.

Mathematics in Nature

The interplay of math and biology extends beyond cicadas. Prime numbers frequently appear in other contexts, such as the design of mechanical gears, where a prime number of teeth reduces wear and ensures smoother operation. Nature’s reliance on mathematical principles highlights its intricate design and adaptability.

The Ecological Significance

Brood XIX and Brood XIII cicadas are ecological marvels, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, aeration of soil, and providing food for predators during their emergence. Meanwhile, greengrocer cicadas exemplify how prime-numbered cycles operate on a global scale, with their synchronized appearance alongside American counterparts offering a glimpse into nature’s mathematical precision.

Key Insights

Brood XIX: A 13- or 17-year cicada brood from the southeastern United States, contributing to unique ecological dynamics.
Lowest Common Multiple (LCM): Explains rare alignments of cicadas and their predator avoidance strategies.
Greengrocer Cicadas: Australian species with a 7-year cycle, demonstrating the significance of prime numbers in survival and synchronization.
Genetic Preservation: Prime-numbered cycles reduce interbreeding among broods, ensuring genetic diversity and population resilience.

A Natural and Mathematical Marvel

The rare overlap of cicada broods across continents underscores the beauty of nature’s complex design, where biology, ecology, and mathematics intertwine. As the buzzing chorus of cicadas fills the air after centuries, it reminds us of the hidden patterns that govern the world, offering a deeper appreciation for the wonders of life and the mathematical principles that sustain it.

Netherland Special Series: Prachee Van Brandenburg Bespeaks Story of Her Sojourn of Resilience and Building Bonds Across Cultures and Continents…!

Dimple Arora

November 26, 2024, 2:09 PM

Life has a way of weaving the unexpected into a narrative of purpose and transformation. A young girl, facing the traumatic times brought to fore by the Gulf War in 1990, scripted a story of building foundation of an extraordinary life across continents after facing a tsunami effects coming out of war. From navigating the complexities of Dutch law and politics to building bridges between India and the Netherlands, Prachee Van Brandenburg speaks the story of resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of growth.

Her sojourn starting as a temporary stay in the Netherlands evolved into a lifelong journey filled with milestones: mastering a foreign language, excelling in international law, serving in Dutch civil service, and making history in local politics. Along the way, Prachee became a trailblazer for women of Indian origin, championing diversity, fostering collaboration, and inspiring others to embrace cultural exchange.

She speaks story of a woman who turned challenges into opportunities, by blending heritage with her adopted home to create a legacy of meaningful impact.

At the age of 16, a twist in global events changed the trajectory of this young girl’s life forever. The First Gulf War in 1990, triggered by Saddam Hussein, forced her to leave her boarding school in Bahrain, located on an American Naval Base, and return to the Netherlands. At the time, her father was working with a Dutch company in Riyadh. Reflecting on that period, she acknowledges that, had the war not occurred, her life might have followed a very different path, far from the Netherlands where she ultimately built her home.

Back in the Netherlands, she completed the final year of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Although she initially considered studying in the UK after graduating, she chose to remain in the Netherlands—a seemingly small decision that would profoundly shape her future.

A Journey into Law and Language

Enrolling in Leiden University to study International Law, she saw it as a temporary phase, intending to leave after graduation. However, opportunities to move in kept coming and going however she decided to stay. This decision brought new challenges, particularly mastering Dutch, which was essential for her studies. While she spoke this language fluently, her experience abroad left her unprepared for the complexities of writing, especially in the legal field.

Specialising in Air and Space Law, she began her career with a brief stint at the university before joining the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Water Management. Here, as a negotiator, legal advisor, and senior policy officer, she drafted high-level documents for Parliament and navigated international negotiations, including representing the Netherlands in ministerial delegations to India. Working in a predominantly male and hierarchical environment, she overcame cultural barriers, balanced expectations, and built a strong professional network over her 13-year tenure.

A Global Perspective

After leaving civil service, she sought to give her children a chance to experience life abroad. The family moved to India for a year and later to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During this period, she embraced the role of a “trailing spouse,” taking a semi-sabbatical from work while continuing to learn from new cultures and experiences.

In 2014, she returned to the Netherlands with her sons to care for her terminally ill mother. This challenging period taught her resilience and deepened her respect for single parents. Her journey took another significant turn in 2018 when she entered Dutch politics, standing for local elections in Leiderdorp. She became the first Maharashtrian woman elected to a Dutch municipal council and now serves as a party leader for D66, holding a second term. Politics brought its own linguistic challenges, requiring her to further refine her Dutch language skills.

In 2023, she ran for the Dutch Senate as the 14th candidate on the D66 nationwide ballot. Although her party lost seats, the campaign was a valuable experience, allowing her to connect with a diverse array of people and ideas.

Building Bridges Between India and the Netherlands

Beyond politics, she runs her consultancy and works tirelessly to strengthen ties between India and the Netherlands. As Vice-Chairman of the India Dutch Financial Corridor (IDFC), she has played a key role in launching initiatives like the TiE Amsterdam chapter and Women Entrepreneurs Connect (WEC). WEC focuses on connecting Indian women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders, fostering collaboration and amplifying their visibility on international platforms.

A Life of Balance and Reflection

Her professional achievements are complemented by her contributions to Diversity & Inclusion programs, personal coaching, and cross-cultural training. Despite a busy schedule, she cherishes moments of tranquility, finding pure bliss in reading a book under the sun with a cup of chai in hand.

For her, learning Dutch was not just a linguistic challenge but a gateway to understanding Dutch culture, its people, and its perspectives. Starting with children’s books and daily soaps, she discovered that a small effort in understanding a language could open doors to deeper connections.

Looking to the future, she is committed to growing her business, fostering India-Netherlands collaborations, and giving back to the communities that have shaped her remarkable journey.
