#latest current affairs questions and answers

[libellule-ao3]

Hello lovely, how are you? 🖤

Hope you had a good start into the year.

For the latest ask game can I have 1,4,16 and 28

Stay amazing ✨️

Hello,🖤

Thank you for your questions. I hope life is treating you well.

the last sentence you wrote:

"Evelyne doesn’t answer, knowing every word could become a weapon turned against her. " (Lullaby for Cursed Seeds)

4. A story idea you haven’t written yet:

Mathilda Weasley’s mission in Japan when she was still working for the Ministry. It’s during this mission that she meets Chiyo Kogawa. I imagine them having a romantic affair throughout their shared mission, as sincere as it is passionate, which ultimately comes to an end in the name of their respective duties. No, no, no, I don’t like angst.

Unfortunately, the plot ideas I currently have for this scenario feel too simplistic to do justice to their respective skills, beyond the romance I imagine for them. 🙂

16. Favorite place to write:

My terrace or the living room. But honestly, I’ll write anywhere.

28. Your least favourite part of the writing process:

Editing, without a doubt. 😅 I spend hours rereading, modifying, trying to refine, condense, and check the grammar & vocabulary. And yet, I always end up finding things that are wrong—verb tenses, pronouns, my dialogue. And I often feel very frustrated not being a native English speaker and having to search for the right idioms.

Thanks again for your asks. Take care of yourself, Queen!✨️🖤

SpaceTime -- A brief history SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff��� on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

The Republican Party platform, released ahead of this week’s Republican National Convention, contained many capitalized words—“American Patriots,” “Migrant Invasion,” “God’s Good Grace”—but none of them were “Taiwan.” It was a striking departure from the party’s track record of support for the island and left many guessing where former U.S. President Donald Trump stands on Taiwan heading into a potential second term.

Trump filled in that blank on Tuesday with characteristically blunt comments published in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek.

In the interview, conducted in late June, he cast doubt on future U.S. support for Taiwan. Asked whether the United States would come to Taiwan’s defense in the event of a Chinese attack, he answered rather elliptically, saying, “Taiwan. I know the people very well, respect them greatly.” He then added, “They did take about 100% of our chip business,” referring to high-end semiconductors, the vast majority of which are currently made in Taiwan. 

Trump went on to suggest that the answer would be conditioned on whether defending Taiwan would be a good deal economically for the United States. “Taiwan should pay us for defense. You know, we’re no different than an insurance company,” he said. “Taiwan doesn’t give us anything.”

Taipei’s representative office in Washington defended the island’s own efforts in a statement to Foreign Policy, saying, “As the threat of military coercion increases, Taiwan is doing its part by actively strengthening deterrence capabilities with the support of the United States under the Taiwan Relations Act.”

Trump’s comments undoubtedly set off new concerns in Taipei, but he has made statements in a similar vein over the past two years. 

In an interview with Fox News last summer, he said, “Taiwan did take all of our chip business,” when asked whether the United States would protect the island. And in several interviews in recent months, he has stuck closer to the traditional U.S. position of “strategic ambiguity” on defending Taiwan (unlike U.S. President Joe Biden, whose administration maintains an official policy of strategic ambiguity but who has personally said on numerous occasions that the United States would defend Taiwan). 

Like his recent comments, Trump has framed strategic ambiguity in transactional terms. In an April interview with Time, when posed the typical question about defending Taiwan, he said, “I wouldn’t want to give away any negotiating abilities by giving information like that to any reporter.”

While Trump’s latest remarks aren’t new per se, as his poll numbers climb higher and the November presidential election draws nearer, they highlight a critical open question: What might Trump’s approach to Taiwan look like in a second term? The answer hinges on whether Trump’s own America First mentality would dominate over the agenda of the China hawks in his national security orbit who are staunch defenders of Taiwan.

Looking back to his presidency offers some clues. Trump was inconsistent on Taiwan—he famously took a call from then-Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen as president-elect, breaking long-standing U.S. norms. But then he quickly tacked back to the typical U.S. talking points, recognizing the so-called “One China” policy in a subsequent call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Many of his top foreign-policy advisors were China hawks and Taiwan supporters, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; National Security Advisor John Bolton; Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger; Peter Navarro, the director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy; and Randall Schriver, the assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs. During the course of his administration, they successfully pushed for more support for Taiwan, including the sale of F-16 fighter jets to the island, previously deemed to be too controversial. And at the very end of Trump’s presidency, Pompeo went as far as to cancel the rules barring direct communication with Taiwan.

“I think in the first term, you had a lot of people around Trump who were friendly with Taiwan [and] very skeptical about China,” said Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. “It’s not clear, though, that that was Trump’s own personal view.”

Trump’s national security team in a second term would likely be more mixed on Taiwan, as several of those former key players have since distanced themselves from Trump, including Bolton and Pottinger. Voices such as Elbridge Colby, a principal at the Marathon Initiative and former Trump official who is thought to still be in Trump’s good graces, have called for a pivot from Ukraine to Taiwan, while others may fall closer in line with the Trump isolationist impulse. 

“I think that’s the core tension within the Trump circle,” Cooper said. Which direction the administration might swing depends on Trump himself and his level of involvement. Trump has already proposed launching a new trade war with China, and he is likely to be very involved in shaping economic policy toward China overall, but it is unclear how directly he would engage in Taiwan policymaking.

If Trump’s own views were to prevail in a second term, Taiwan would likely be in for a rocky four years trying to prove its worth to the president. “Contrary to what some analysts argue, there isn’t an Indo-Pacific exception in Trump’s version of ‘America first,’” Hal Brands, a political scientist at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, argued in a recent essay in Foreign Affairs.

Under the Trump-centric Taiwan foreign policy, several scenarios could unfold. On defense, Trump spoke critically of Taiwan treating the United States like an insurance company in his conversation with Businessweek, but his comment that Taiwan “should pay us for defense” suggests he may mostly be interested in securing a higher premium for U.S. support. 

What kind of payment would Trump be looking for? During his presidency, Trump called for South Korea and Japan to cover a much higher share of the costs for U.S. bases in both countries, but very few U.S. troops are stationed in Taiwan. Taipei already buys billions of dollars’ worth of weapons from Washington, but Trump might consider cutting off new foreign military aid to Taiwan approved under Biden. He would also likely push for Taiwan to increase its military spending, up from 2.6 percent of its GDP today, as his former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien suggested recently. 

On chips, the Taiwanese government has pushed back on Trump’s claims of unfairness. In an interview with Foreign Policy this month, Alexander Yui, Taiwan’s representative to the United States, said, “Between Taiwan and the U.S., we’re partners in terms of that industry. … The United States is very good at chip design, and we’re very good at manufacturing.” He also referenced the three massive semiconductor factories that Taiwanese tech giant TSMC plans to build in Arizona.

However, Trump’s repeated comments begrudging Taiwan’s semiconductor dominance suggest that he is unsatisfied with the status quo and may push for more domestic chip manufacturing. “Trump has made it clear—he’s going after chips,” said Jason Hsu, a former Taiwanese legislator who is now an Edward Mason fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. “TSMC could bear the consequences of Trump’s political rhetoric.”

A final scenario that some experts say could unfold if Trump were to dominate Taiwan policy and take it in the most transactional direction is that he could trade Taiwan’s future away in some kind of grand economic bargain with China. The terms of such a deal and its likelihood are far from clear, but experts point to Trump’s past remarks in private diminishing Taiwan’s significance as a sign that such a scenario might be possible.

But Taiwan has some “aces up its sleeve” to head off worst-case scenarios under a Trump administration, argued Craig Singleton, the director of the China program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 

“Taiwan’s major semiconductor investments in important battleground states, like Arizona, and its substantial military hardware purchases highlight the island’s strategic importance,” Singleton said. “Taiwan also enjoys steadfast bipartisan backing on Capitol Hill, which could prove helpful in navigating choppy diplomatic waters.”

Was doing an Aggie with some friends and it got out of hand. But! Now I have a line up of my current BG3 custom party. Girl squad supremacy.

A divorcee, a house wife, and a bottle of pepto bismal walk into a bar…. Oop I mean wake up on a nautiloid.

OC info under the cut.

Anathema is a high elf wizard. Well, she will be. She’s only scraping by because Wizard 101 was a mandatory class during her secondary school years. She’s about 350 years old, just discovered her scumbag politician husband has been covering up his affairs by trading his mistresses souls to a devil in exchange for political influence. Naturally, she found a contract with her name on it as well. The poor thing was running away when the Mindflayer’s caught her.

She’s an archivist who keeps plants as a hobby. Deathly afraid of any and all animals. 10/10 stands on chairs when she sees a mouse. Naturally she’s romancing Halsin.

Epione is a grown up street rat. Unbeknownst to her, she’s a cambion born from Mephistophole’s latest plot to overthrow Azmodeus. He’s trying to collect a whole bunch of divine soul sorcerer’s for some nefarious reasons, and ended up making an elite force of off spring in the process. There are 7, naturally based off the seven deadly sins. Epi’s oldest brother decided he didn’t want to participate in his dad’s messed up plans anymore, so when he was sent to collect her after her mother died in child birth… he delivered her to an orphanage instead. Her wings were cropped by the headmistress there for better or worse. She ran away when she was about 7 and lived on the streets of Baldur’s Gate ever since. She doesn’t know much about where she came from, but she’s trying her best. This is an insanely condensed version of the story XD. Chaotic little cinnamon roll, wild magic sorcerer who’s going to eventually get a few levels of bard so that she can have vicious mockery and cutting word.

Epi is about 226. She’s intended to be the chaotic good that balances out Astarion’s chaotic bad.

Neriah is the answer to the question “what if Molly Weasley were a dnd character.” She’s happily married, the mother of 8 children, and a crochet connoisseur. Legally adopting all the companions. Being kidnapped by Mindflayers has provided her the first day off she’s had in 26 years. She began looking at it like a bit of a vacation. Up until she realized she’d have her hands full just as badly with the companions, if not worse considering she raised her children with manners. She’s a paladin, and I’ve yet to decide if she’s going to be oath of devotion (with the oath being focused on her returning to her children) or oath of vengeance (with it being focused on ripping off the heads of those who thought they could separate her from her kids.)

Neriah is a half elf, and she’s about 85.

Krystal, I am so glad you reblogged this, because I loved this set of questions and wanted it to get circling. Apologies if I ask you several…

For the Bookish Asks: A, C, H, T, U, V, and Y

I’ll never forgive you for this, Marta 😜 kidding!! Thank you so much for the ask! This really did look fun so I’m thrilled to answer so many!!!

A Author You've Read The Most Books From

Probably Stephen King. I started reading him my freshman year in college and by the time our first was born in ‘97, I’d read pretty much everything he’d written up to that point.

C Currently Reading

Does fanfiction count? 😜 but seriously, I guess you could say I’m currently reading When He Was Wicked, Francesca Bridgerton’s book by Julia Quinn, since I’m adapting it to a CS fic…

H Hidden Gem Book

So, I went back to my homeschooling days for this one. In the Reign of Terror by G.A. Henty. We only read a few of his books when the kids were growing up and they were all wonderful, but this was our first one we read aloud and it was just phenomenal !!! All of his books followed a young person living during momentous times in human history. This one was set during, you guessed it, the French Revolution. HIGHLY recommend.

T Three Of Your All-Time Favorite Books

The first two are easy peasy… It and The Stand, both by Stephen King. From the first time I read them to when I started having kiddos and no time, I read them both at least once a year. It’s now been well over 2 decades since I read either one and I could probably give you a pretty detailed description of what happens in each and every chapter.

For the third, I really don’t know… but I’ll list several that I LOVE that jump immediately to mind.

The Horse and His Boy C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia Book 3, takes place during the reign of the Pevensies in Narnia.

The Lord of the Rings J.R.R. Tolkien yes, it counts as 1 book, sorry, not sorry…

The Viscount that Loved Me and An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn. Anthony and Benedict Bridgerton’s stories, respectively.

And finally, Nora Roberts O’Hurley’s series, that, as you know, inspired my A Family Affair fic series. I read the series, except Trace’s story (the older brother), before I was married, and when I found the last book, it rekindled my love for the entire series and it held a very special place in my heart all these years.

U Unapologetic Fangirl For

Bridgerton series

V Very Excited For This Release More Than Any Other

If you’d asked me that about 9mos ago, my VERY LOUD and EXCITED answer would have been the Special Edition release of the Bridgerton series in hardback that Chris ordered for me for Christmas, which also answers your last question. But, since you didn’t ask me that 9mos ago 😜 and it’s been so long since I’ve bought any real-hold-in-your-hand-book, I don’t really have an answer for you. Sorry?

Y Your Latest Book Purchase

See above.

Thank you again for all these, Marta!!!

Send me a bookish ask

[forlix]

hiik! idk what to actually type but i just feel really bad after reading your reply to the latest ask, it’s like ‘when one of the nicest person gets mad’ like you were sooo right for doing that!! i don‘t blame you for actually getting mad! you are human after all, but it‘s just . . i‘ve been following you & your works for a couple of months & i‘ve never actually noticed you acting like that &! again, i ain‘t trying to say that you‘re wrong or anything!! you were very right & you handled it well!! but really, are you okay? idk – like i mentioned, i‘m just worried, this recent thing with skz has me disappointed & angered as well & i really like how vocal you are abt it! but stillllll! yeah, that‘s what i wanted to say & alsooo!! i love you & your energy sm!! <3 hope you‘ve a great day!! ❤️✨

fbsndhsjdj thank you so much for saying all of this. i was a little nervous about my answer in hindsight but i kept reminding myself i wanted to respond that way at the time and i should trust my instinct. regardless it feels so nice to receive a lil external validation too, so thank you :’) it was very frustrating to read that ask, especially bc so much information about the current state of affairs is available not only all over social media but also. on my literal blog

to answer your question tho, i am okay? sort of. i’m neurodivergent so i can never love things a normal amount and just the idea of my relationship with skz undergoing any sort of negative change has made the last week feel so dreary and dark. i’ve been in one of the worst headspaces in a long time 😞 i miss them and shit fucking sucks but i think i am slowly and surely resurfacing now that things are starting to quiet down. thank you for checking on me; i hope you’re doing okay as well, in spite of your disappointment and anger. you’re certainly not alone in your feelings 🤍

seriously, thank you for this ask hehe u have no idea how much of a weight your words have lifted off of me. i love you too! have an amazing rest of your sunday.

I didn’t say it’s only Israel, but they sure have been critiqued of pink washing a lot of times.

— Israel has been carpet bombing Gaza quite literally, MULTIPLE BLOODLINES HAVE BEEN KILLED OFF, THEIR ENTIRE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IS ABOUT TO GO EXTINCT, EVERY ARCHITECTURE IS BEING DESTROYED, HOSPITALS BOMBED, SCHOOLS BOMBED, UNIVERSITIES BOMBED. BAPTIST HOSPITALS BOMBED. UN HOSPITALS BOMBED. EVERYTHING IS BEING BOMBED TF!?

There are literally multiple WOMEN AMD MEN ON THE GROUND OF GAZA who have been reporting horrifying images of what’s going on, they are literally starving Gaza, you think these Palestinian reporters are lying and pulling evidences of bombed areas out of their asses?

CHILDREN ARE GETTING AMPUTATED WITHOUT ANY ANESTHESIA, WOMEN ARE GIVING BIRTH IN HORRIFIC CONDITIONS. PEOPLE ARE BEING SHOT AT FOR NO REASON.

Israel has been illegally building illegal settlements in Palestine, and occupying the place, IT HAS BEEN CRITIZED BY MANY INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS.

TADA 💖💖💖💖. EVEN THE UN FUCKING AGREES.

This article shows the dire situation in Gaza and also condemns KHAMAZ good grief,

"Occupied Palestinian Territory", hmmmm that’s weird ?

And about the Blockade?

And let me guess, all the Muslim countries are horrible places for women :( they are so so oppressive and so mean and so barbaric.

Quick search= "Current estimates conclude that the number of Muslims in the world is around 1.8 billion. Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, they speak hundreds of languages and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds."

You think Muslim women can’t get educated in Palestine? Indonesia? Kuwait? Qatar? Pakistan? Malaysia? Saudi Arabia? Uae? Morocco? Egypt? Jordan? Lebanon? And so many other countries?

You think MUSLIM COUNTRIES DONT HAVE EDUCATION FOR WOMEN?! Maybe Afghans sure, but have you truly even meet Palestinian women? A Muslim woman?

Why tf would they go to Israel for that?

There are literally thousands of highly educated, intelligent, bravely working MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN WOMEN IN PALESTINE AND GAZA WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR VOICED AGAINST THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION.

THERE ARE LITERALLY MUSLIM WOMEN REPORTERS, DOCTORS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN PALESTINE.

Good grief and the last line?

If it weren’t for Israeli occupation, Hamas wouldn’t exist.

Just block me man.

The Doomsday Clock serves as a metaphorical gauge indicating humanity's proximity to worldwide disaster. Managed by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, it is not an actual timepiece but a metaphor for existential threats like nuclear war, climate change, and emerging technologies. The best atomic digital clock may provide precise time, but the Doomsday Clock measures the world's danger levels. Since its creation in 1947, the Doomsday Clock has been adjusted multiple times. Each year, experts discuss global risks and determine if the Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight or further away. The 2025 update placed it at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. Many wonder, "what does 89 seconds mean?" It signifies an unprecedented level of risk due to ongoing global crises. The Doomsday Clock live updates can be followed on the Doomsday Clock website live, where the latest threats are analyzed. The question "what happens if the Doomsday Clock ends?" has no definitive answer, but theoretically, it would symbolize global disaster. The Doomsday Clock update 2025 reflects a dangerous geopolitical climate, making many ask, "how many minutes to midnight Doomsday?" As of 2025, it is 89 seconds to midnight. The Doomsday Clock design remains iconic, influencing culture and media, including the Doomsday Clock comic series. Many discuss its presence in literature, with the Doomsday Clock complete collection available at bookstores like Doomsday Clock Barnes and Noble. Understanding what is midnight Doomsday Clock helps people grasp the urgency of global threats.   History and Evolution of the Doomsday Clock The Doomsday Clock was initially positioned at seven minutes before midnight in 1947. It was designed by Martyl Langsdorf and introduced by the Chicago Atomic Scientists, a group involved in the Manhattan Project. Since then, the Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight or farther, depending on global conditions. One of the most significant shifts occurred in 1953, when the Doomsday Clock was set at two minutes to midnight after the U.S. and USSR tested hydrogen bombs. The furthest from disaster was in 1991, at 17 minutes to midnight. However, recent years have seen a disturbing trend: in Doomsday Clock January 24 2023, it moved to 90 seconds to midnight, and by 2025, it reached 89 seconds. Many wonder, "who sets Doomsday Clock?" The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Science and Security Board makes the decision based on geopolitical events, climate change, and emerging threats. The Doomsday Clock TV Tropes page explains its significance in popular culture, including its connection to the Doomsday Clock Superman vs Dr Manhattan storyline. The Doomsday Clock getcomics discussions often reference how Doomsday Clock how it works relates to real-world fears. While some ask, "is the Doomsday Clock valid?", its symbolism remains powerful. Even though the atomic clock is used for measuring precise time, the Doomsday Clock tracks existential risk. With each Doomsday Clock update, concerns grow. The next Doomsday Clock to be set in Chicago will reveal if conditions have worsened. Understanding what time does the Doomsday Clock say helps gauge global stability, making its adjustments a critical moment in global affairs. Doomsday Clock’s Role in Current Global Threats The Doomsday Clock serves as a warning about rising global threats. Experts analyze factors like nuclear conflicts, climate change, and technological dangers before deciding if the Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight. In Doomsday Clock January 24 2023, it was set to 90 seconds to midnight, reflecting tensions from geopolitical events such as the war in Ukraine. The latest Doomsday Clock update 2025 placed it at 89 seconds, raising concerns about escalating risks. Many people check Doomsday Clock live updates to stay informed. The Doomsday Clock website live provides insights into the reasoning behind these adjustments. People frequently ask, "why is the Doomsday Clock set at 90 seconds?", reflecting widespread concerns about global uncertainty. Despite being symbolic, the Doomsday Clock design remains influential. It has inspired media, including the Doomsday Clock comic and its famous Doomsday Clock issue 5. The Doomsday Clock complete collection is widely available, including at Doomsday Clock Barnes and Noble. One common inquiry is, "what is the Doomsday Clock set at 2024?" Before the 2025 update, it was 90 seconds to midnight, already an alarming position. The Doomsday Clock TV Tropes page discusses its cultural impact, while the Doomsday Clock absolute edition appeals to collectors. The next Doomsday Clock to be set in Chicago will likely bring new debates. With ongoing conflicts and technological risks, many ask, "when does Doomsday Clock update?" Given past trends, it is adjusted annually, making future predictions a subject of widespread discussion. Scientific and Political Criticism of the Doomsday Clock The Doomsday Clock has sparked debate among scientists and policymakers. While some see it as a crucial warning system, others question, "is the Doomsday Clock valid?" Critics argue that it lacks a precise formula and is influenced by subjective factors. Cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker criticized the Doomsday Clock design, calling it a "political stunt" rather than a scientific metric. He noted inconsistencies, pointing out that during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Doomsday Clock was set further from midnight than in calmer years. Meanwhile, conservative media outlets claim it pushes a specific agenda rather than objective risk assessment. Despite this, many still monitor Doomsday Clock live updates. The Doomsday Clock website live provides detailed reports, and bookstores like Doomsday Clock Barnes and Noble offer historical collections. The Doomsday Clock comic has also influenced public perception, with the Doomsday Clock complete collection keeping the discussion relevant in pop culture. The debate extends to nuclear policy. Some scientists believe the atomic clock with second hand provides more tangible data on global timekeeping than the Doomsday Clock, which is more of a symbolic gauge. However, given recent events, including the Doomsday Clock update 2025, supporters argue that it remains a necessary reminder of global threats. The next Doomsday Clock to be set in Chicago will likely face renewed scrutiny. Some question, "when does Doomsday Clock end?", but there is no definitive answer. Instead, it continues to serve as a visual metaphor, prompting discussions on whether humanity is moving toward safety or catastrophe. Cultural Impact and Media Representation of the Doomsday Clock The Doomsday Clock has influenced various aspects of media and pop culture, appearing in literature, comics, and television. One of the most notable references is in the Doomsday Clock comic, which explores its themes through fiction. The Doomsday Clock complete collection is widely available, including at Doomsday Clock Barnes and Noble, where fans can explore its symbolic storytelling. Beyond comics, the Doomsday Clock TV Tropes page documents its influence on movies, video games, and books. The visual representation of Doomsday Clock design has been used in films and documentaries to symbolize imminent catastrophe. The iconic Doomsday Clock picture has been reproduced in news articles and public discussions about global risks. With each Doomsday Clock update, the world reacts. The Doomsday Clock live tracking has gained popularity, and many follow the Doomsday Clock website live to monitor changes. The concept even extends to fan theories and alternative media, with some speculating, "when does Doomsday Clock end?" This ongoing debate keeps its relevance alive. Recent adaptations have expanded its narrative reach. The Doomsday Clock Superman vs Dr Manhattan storyline integrates the symbolic clock into superhero lore, further cementing its place in modern fiction. Additionally, Doomsday Clock issue 5 remains one of the most discussed releases, particularly for its connection to real-world anxieties. As global tensions rise, people question, "what time does the Doomsday Clock say?" and "how many minutes to midnight Doomsday?" The Doomsday Clock update 2025 showed it at 89 seconds to midnight, reflecting growing concerns over global security. Whether viewed as a scientific warning or a cultural phenomenon, its impact is undeniable. The Role of Atomic Clocks and Timekeeping in the Doomsday Clock Unlike the best atomic digital clock, which provides precise time, the Doomsday Clock is a metaphor for existential threats. However, both rely on accurate calculations. The atomic clock is used for scientific measurements, ensuring precise synchronization, while the Doomsday Clock evaluates global risk. The Doomsday Clock design was created to visually communicate urgency. Unlike an atomic clock with second hand, which follows absolute time, the Doomsday Clock is adjusted based on expert assessments.

The RAS exam is divided into three stages: Preliminary, Main, and Interview (Personality Test). Each stage has unique demands and challenges.

Preliminary Exam:

General Studies Paper I (GS-I): Covers history, geography, polity, economy, science, and technology.

Paper III: General Studies (Science, technology, international relations).

Paper IV: General Hindi and English.

Paper V: Rajasthan’s History, Culture, and Geography.

Interview/Personality Test: The final stage to assess your communication skills, personality, and knowledge.

2. Develop a Detailed Study Plan

Preliminary Stage:

Build a Strong Foundation: Focus on conceptual clarity. Use NCERT books for subjects like history, geography, and science, as they are great for basics.

Current Affairs: Make daily reading a habit. The Hindu or The Indian Express are good choices. Focus on national, international, and Rajasthan-specific news, government schemes, and policies.

Mock Tests: Regularly take mock tests for GS-I and GS-II to understand the exam pattern and enhance time management. These will also help you identify areas to improve.

CSAT: Practice logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and decision-making regularly using previous year papers and mock tests.

Main Exam:

Deepen Your Knowledge: Go beyond basics and specialize in topics like Rajasthan’s history, culture, and geography, as they hold significant weight in the exam.

Answer Writing Practice: The Main exam is descriptive. Practice writing clear, concise, and structured answers. Time yourself to simulate exam conditions.

Past Papers: Solve previous year papers to understand the types of questions asked and identify key topics.

3. Stay Updated on Current Affairs

Current affairs play a critical role in both the Preliminary and Main exams. Focus on:

Daily News: Stay updated with newspapers and magazines. Pay attention to key national, international, and state issues.

Government Schemes: Make sure you’re aware of government policies, schemes, and reports like the Economic Survey, particularly those affecting Rajasthan.

Magazines: Read Yojana, Kurukshetra, and Rajasthan Patrika for in-depth knowledge of national and state-level issues.

4. Subject-Specific Strategy

Rajasthan’s History and Culture: Use books like Rajasthan Ki Sanskriti by R.P. Sharma and Rajasthan Ki Itihas by Dr. K.K. Aziz to master the rich cultural and historical landscape of Rajasthan.

Geography: Focus on both Indian and Rajasthan geography. For Rajasthan, study physical geography, state boundaries, rivers, and climate. Rajasthan Geography by G.C. Leong is a good resource.

Polity and Governance: Study Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth for a deep understanding of the Indian Constitution and Rajasthan’s governance.

Economy: Focus on Indian Economy by R.G. Gupta for national issues, and give extra attention to Rajasthan’s economic challenges.

Set Goals: Break your preparation into daily, weekly, and monthly targets. Track your progress and make adjustments as necessary.

Stay Focused: Minimize distractions during study hours. Keep your phone away and focus solely on your preparation.

6. Practice Answer Writing and Revision

Revision: Revise regularly to ensure long-term retention of what you’ve studied. Set up a revision cycle every 2–3 weeks.

7. Healthy Lifestyle

Physical Activity: Regular exercise will help maintain your energy levels and improve focus.

Balanced Diet and Sleep: Proper nutrition and sufficient sleep are essential for peak mental performance.

Breaks: Take short breaks during study sessions to refresh your mind and prevent burnout.

9. Stay Motivated

Positive Mindset: The road to RAS is long, but a positive attitude and perseverance are key.

Focus on Your Goal: Remind yourself daily of your goal — to serve in the Rajasthan Administrative Services.

Avoid Comparisons: Each person’s pace is different. Focus on your preparation, and don’t compare yourself to others.

10. Final Tips for Success

Understanding Over Memorization: Focus on understanding concepts deeply rather than rote memorization.

Mock Tests: Take as many mock tests as possible to improve speed, accuracy, and exam temperament.

Interview Preparation: Prepare for the interview by staying updated on current affairs and practicing communication skills.

Consistency: Consistent, disciplined effort is key. Stay committed to your study plan and take it one step at a time.
