Young People Get Their News from TikTok. That’s a Huge Problem for Democrats. (CJR) Democrats are doing the most awkward TikTok dance. The House’s attempt to force TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the social media behemoth to an American entity has put Democrats from President Biden on down in a tough spot. Most are now on record backing a bill that could shutter a fast-growing platform that’s most popular with the young voters they so badly need. TikTok users aren’t just kids mindlessly scrolling dance videos. Roughly one-third of Americans aged 18–29 regularly get their news from TikTok, the Pew Research Center found in a late 2023 survey. Overall, TikTok claims 150 million American users, almost half the US population.

Russia Builds New Asia Trade Routes (Bloomberg) Russia is pressing ahead with construction of two new transport corridors linking Asia and Europe, seeking to weaken sanctions over its war in Ukraine at the same time as Middle East turmoil is disrupting global trade. The shipping and rail networks via Iran and an Arctic sea passage could strengthen Moscow’s pivot toward Asian powerhouses China and India and away from Europe. They have potential to embed Russia at the heart of much of international trade even as the US and its allies are trying to isolate President Vladimir Putin over the war. The routes could cut 30%-50% off transit times compared to the Suez Canal and avoid security problems plaguing the Red Sea as Houthi rebels attack international shipping over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

An ISIS Terror Group Draws Half Its Recruits From Tiny Tajikistan (NYT) The mother of one of the suspects in the bloody attack on a concert hall near Moscow last month wept as she talked about her son. “We need to understand—who is recruiting young Tajiks, why do they want to highlight us as a nation of terrorists?” said the mother, Muyassar Zargarova. Many governments and terrorism experts are asking the same question. Tajik adherents of the Islamic State—especially within its affiliate in Afghanistan known as the Islamic State Khorasan Province (I.S.K.P.), or ISIS-K—have taken increasingly high-profile roles in a string of recent terrorist attacks. Over the last year alone, Tajiks have been involved in assaults in Russia, Iran and Turkey, as well as foiled plots in Europe. ISIS-K is believed to have several thousand soldiers, with Tajiks constituting more than half, experts said.

India’s Lok Sabha Election (1440) The world’s largest democratic elections begin in India today as nearly 1 billion voters head to the polls. Over the next six weeks, voters will determine the composition of the 543-member Lok Sabha, the lower house of India’s parliament responsible for nominating a prime minister. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party are seeking a third consecutive term against a coalition of parties called the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. A simple majority of 272 seats is needed to rule for the five-year term—BJP won 303 seats last election. Economic concerns, particularly inflation and unemployment, are chief issues among voters. Modi, 73, is favored to win and maintains a 75% approval rating, particularly due to his government’s welfare programs and infrastructure projects.

Nearly half of China's major cities are sinking, researchers say (Reuters) Nearly half of China's major cities are suffering "moderate to severe" levels of subsidence, putting millions of people at risk of flooding especially as sea levels rise, according to a study of nationwide satellite data released on Friday. The authors of the paper, published by the journal Science, found 45% of China's urban land was sinking faster than 3 millimetres per year, with 16% at more than 10 mm per year, driven not only by declining water tables but also the sheer weight of the built environment. With China's urban population already in excess of 900 million people, "even a small portion of subsiding land in China could therefore translate into a substantial threat to urban life," said the team of researchers led by Ao Zurui of the South China Normal University. Subsidence already costs China more than 7.5 billion yuan ($1.04 billion) in annual losses, and within the next century, nearly a quarter of coastal land could actually be lower than sea levels, putting hundreds of millions of people at an even greater risk of inundation.

Iranians both nervous and relieved after narrow Israeli strike (Washington Post) An uneasy calm settled over Iran on Friday as residents took stock of Israel’s pre-dawn strike in the central province of Isfahan. The attack, which was narrow in scope, appeared aimed at de-escalating tensions, analysts and officials said, after a massive Iranian missile and drone attack against Israel last week. But Iranians in Isfahan, which hosts sensitive military and nuclear facilities, said the strike was a reminder of how close the country has come to an all-out war, after years in which Israel and Iran fought mainly in the shadows. Iranian officials and state media downplayed the attack, dismissing the strike as insignificant and saying the explosions reported in Isfahan, more than 200 miles south of Tehran, were from Iran’s air defenses intercepting drones. Israel has made no official public comment on the strike, and the primary target remained unclear. In Isfahan, a city famed for its ornate Islamic architecture, residents said life continued normally on Friday but that the streets were quieter than usual. The city is the third-largest in Iran with nearly 2 million residents.

Soldiers who lost limbs in Gaza fighting are finding healing on Israel’s amputee soccer team (AP) When Ben Binyamin was left for dead, his right leg blown off during the Hamas attack on the Tribe of Nova music festival, the Israeli professional soccer player thought he would never again play the game he loved. “When I woke up,” the 29-year-old said, “I felt I was going to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.” Then Binyamin learned about a chance to be “normal” again: Israel’s national amputee soccer team. “It’s the best thing in my life,” said 1st Sgt. Omer Glikstal of the team’s twice-weekly practices at a stadium in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan. “It’s a very different game than I used to play, but in the end, it’s the same,” he said. Amputee soccer teams have six fielder players who are missing lower limbs; they play on crutches and without prosthetics. Each team has a goalkeeper with a missing upper extremity. The pitch is smaller than standard. At team practices, the Israeli players are undeterred by the absence of an arm or a leg. “We all have something in common. We’ve been through a lot of hard and difficult times. It unites us,” said Aviran Ohana.

Israel blames Gaza starvation on U.N. (CBS News) Under pressure from the U.S. and other allies to flood the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid, Israel insists it’s doing everything it can, and it blames the United Nations for the starvation of thousands of Palestinians in the war-torn enclave. In a Wednesday morning social media post, the Israeli government said it had “scaled up our capabilities” and it included a video clip showing hundreds of white containers that it said were loaded with aid and waiting for collection inside Gaza. The United Nations says it’s not just about getting food into Gaza, but distributing it once it reaches the territory. U.N. aid agencies say those operations have been severely hindered by the almost total destruction of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure. Many roads have been blown up, along with health, water, sanitation and food production facilities. Humanitarian workers do what they can. The demand to fill bowl after bowl at emergency food distribution points is never ending. Still, a third of children under the age of two in Gaza are currently acutely malnourished, according to the U.N. children’s charity UNICE.

Drought Pushes Millions Into ‘Acute Hunger’ in Southern Africa (NYT) An estimated 20 million people in southern Africa are facing what the United Nations calls “acute hunger” as one of the worst droughts in more than four decades shrivels crops, decimates livestock and, after years of rising food prices brought on by pandemic and war, spikes the price of corn, the region’s staple crop. Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe have all declared national emergencies. It is a bitter foretaste of what a warming climate is projected to bring to a region that’s likely to be acutely affected by climate change, though scientists said on Thursday that the current drought is more driven by the natural weather cycle known as El Niño than by global warming. Its effects are all the more punishing because in the past few years the region had been hit by cyclones, unusually heavy rains and a widening outbreak of cholera.

A Little Bit of Dirt Is Good for You (NYT) Scientists have long known that a little dirt can be good for you. Research has suggested that people who grow up on farms, for instance, have lower rates of Crohn’s disease, asthma and allergies, likely because of their exposure to a diverse array of microbes. In the 1970s, scientists even found a soil-dwelling bacterium, called Mycobacterium vaccae, that has an anti-inflammatory effect on our brains, possibly both lowering stress and improving our immune response to it. When we’re touching soil or even just out in nature, “we’re breathing in a tremendous amount of microbial diversity,” said Christopher A. Lowry, a professor of integrative physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder. A recent Finnish experiment found that children attending urban day cares where a native “forest floor” had been planted had both a stronger immune system and a healthier microbiome than those attending day cares with gravel yards—and continued to have beneficial gut and skin bacteria two years later. It’s not just good for kids; adults can also benefit from exposure to soil-dwelling microbes, Dr. Lowry said. So this spring, make a little time to go outside and get grimy.

How US-Indian NISAR Satellite Will Offer Unique Window on Earth

A Q&A with the lead U.S. scientist of the mission, which will track changes in everything from wetlands to ice sheets to infrastructure damaged by natural disasters.

The upcoming U.S.-India NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission will observe Earth like no mission before, offering insights about our planet’s ever-changing surface.

The NISAR mission is a first-of-a-kind dual-band radar satellite that will measure land deformation from earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes, producing data for science and disaster response. It will track how much glaciers and ice sheets are advancing or retreating and it will monitor growth and loss of forests and wetlands for insights on the global carbon cycle.

As diverse as NISAR’s impact will be, the mission’s winding path to launch — in a few months’ time — has also been remarkable. Paul Rosen, NISAR’s project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, has been there at every step. He recently discussed the mission and what sets it apart.

How will NISAR improve our understanding of Earth?

The planet’s surfaces never stop changing — in some ways small and subtle, and in other ways monumental and sudden. With NISAR, we’ll measure that change roughly every week, with each pixel capturing an area about half the size of a tennis court. Taking imagery of nearly all Earth’s land and ice surfaces this frequently and at such a small scale — down to the centimeter — will help us put the pieces together into one coherent picture to create a story about the planet as a living system.

What sets NISAR apart from other Earth missions?

NISAR will be the first Earth-observing satellite with two kinds of radar — an L-band system with a 10-inch (25-centimeter) wavelength and an S-band system with a 4-inch (10-centimeter) wavelength.

Whether microwaves reflect or penetrate an object depends on their wavelength. Shorter wavelengths are more sensitive to smaller objects such as leaves and rough surfaces, whereas longer wavelengths are more reactive with larger structures like boulders and tree trunks.

So NISAR’s two radar signals will react differently to some features on Earth’s surface. By taking advantage of what each signal is or isn’t sensitive to, researchers can study a broader range of features than they could with either radar on its own, observing the same features with different wavelengths.

Is this new technology?

The concept of a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar, or SAR, studying Earth’s processes dates to the 1970s, when NASA launched Seasat. Though the mission lasted only a few months, it produced first-of-a-kind images that changed the remote-sensing landscape for decades to come.

It also drew me to JPL in 1981 as a college student: I spent two summers analyzing data from the mission. Seasat led to NASA’s Shuttle Imaging Radar program and later to the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission.

What will happen to the data from the mission?

Our data products will fit the needs of users across the mission’s science focus areas — ecosystems, cryosphere, and solid Earth — plus have many uses beyond basic research like soil-moisture and water resources monitoring.

We’ll make the data easily accessible. Given the volume of the data, NASA decided that it would be processed and stored in the cloud, where it’ll be free to access.

How did the ISRO partnership come about?

We proposed DESDynI (Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of Ice), an L-band satellite, following the 2007 Decadal Survey by the National Academy of Sciences. At the time, ISRO was exploring launching an S-band satellite. The two science teams proposed a dual-band mission, and in 2014 NASA and ISRO agreed to partner on NISAR.

Since then, the agencies have been collaborating across more than 9,000 miles (14,500 kilometers) and 13 time zones. Hardware was built on different continents before being assembled in India to complete the satellite. It’s been a long journey — literally.

More About NISAR

The NISAR mission is an equal collaboration between NASA and ISRO and marks the first time the two agencies have cooperated on hardware development for an Earth-observing mission. Managed for the agency by Caltech, JPL leads the U.S. component of the project and is providing the mission’s L-band SAR. NASA is also providing the radar reflector antenna, the deployable boom, a high-rate communication subsystem for science data, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder, and payload data subsystem.

Space Applications Centre Ahmedabad, ISRO’s lead center for payload development, is providing the mission’s S-band SAR instrument and is responsible for its calibration, data processing, and development of science algorithms to address the scientific goals of the mission. U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, which leads the ISRO components of the mission, is providing the spacecraft bus. The launch vehicle is from ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, launch services are through ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre, and satellite mission operations are by ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network. National Remote Sensing Centre in Hyderabad is primarily responsible for S-band data reception, operational products generation, and dissemination.

A Farmer's Guide to Land Measurement in India

Measuring the agricultural land accurately is important for effective farming, land management, and property transactions. In India, where traditional and modern measurement systems coexist, understanding how to measure land correctly can help farmers, landowners, and buyers make informed decisions. This guide provides a clear overview of various measurement methods, from traditional units like bigha and katha to modern technologies such as GPS and GIS. If you’re looking to buy land, assess your property, or optimize your farm’s layout, this guide will help you navigate the complexities of land measurement in India, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in all your agricultural endeavors.

Traditional Measurement Units

Bigha: The bigha is one of the most widely used traditional units, the size of a bigha varies from state to state. For example, in Punjab and Haryana, one bigha is, for the most part, identical to 0.25 hectares (0.62 segments of land), whereas in Uttar Pradesh, it can range from 0.25 to 0.33 hectares (0.62 to 0.82 areas of land).

Katha: The states like Bihar, West Bengal, and Assam primarily use it. The size of a katha can vary, but it is generally around 1361.25 square feet in Bihar and 720 square feet in Assam.

Acre: An acre is a well-known unit in both traditional and modern contexts and is equal to 43,560 square feet or approximately 4047 square meters. It is still commonly used in many parts of India.

Hectare: The hectare is widely used in modern contexts and equals 10,000 square meters or 2.47 acres.

Gunta: It is primarily utilized in southern states such as Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. One gunta is identical to 1/40th of a segment of land, or 1089 square feet.

Kanal: It is utilized in northern regions such as Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. One kanal is equivalent to 5445 square feet, or 1/eighth of a land segment.

Marla: The marla is also used in northern states alongside kanal. One marla is typically 272.25 square feet (in the traditional definition) but can vary; it is often used in Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh.

Cent: This is common in southern states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu. One penny is equal to 1/100th of a piece of land, or 435.6 square feet.

Modern Measurement Standards

Square Metre (m<0xC2><0xB2>): The square meter is the base unit of area in the Overall Course of Action of Units (SI). Metropolitan readiness, land trades, and government records primarily use it.

Hectare (ha): A hectare is identical to 10,000 square meters (or 2.47 segments of land). It is the most commonly used unit for measuring large tracts of agricultural land globally and in India. The hectare is particularly significant for checking out and storing up land areas across different regions and settings.

Acre: One parcel of land is equivalent to 43,560 square feet, or approximately 4047 square meters.

Despite not being included in the SI system, the land segment remains widely used in India and globally, particularly in rural areas and more settled land records.

Square Kilometer (km): Used for measuring very large areas, typically for regional planning, forest land, and large agricultural estates. One square kilometer is equivalent to 1,000,000 square meters, or 100 hectares.

Tools and Techniques for Accurate Measurement

Total stations combine electronic distance measurement and transit functions for precise land surveying, with data easily transferred to computers. GPS development offers precise region assessments using satellites, making it ideal for massive extension audits.
