Today's Topic – Black Box (Flight Data Recorder)

This edition of Knolls of the Day explores the vital role of the Black Box in aviation safety. Officially known as the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), this device stores crucial flight information and cockpit conversations, helping investigators determine the cause of air crashes. Despite its name, the black box is painted bright orange to aid visibility during search and rescue operations.

Understanding the science and importance of black boxes enhances your grasp of GS3: Science and Tech and its real-world applications in safety, engineering, and disaster investigation.

Cut the Crap

Today's Topic – Urbanization and India’s Transit Woes

PDF Download Link – go.forumias.com/cutthecrap165

This edition of Cut the Crap discusses the growing urbanization challenges India faces on its path to becoming a developed nation by 2047 (Viksit Bharat). With only 63 out of 458 cities having formal bus services, and merely 1.2 buses per 1,000 people (vs China’s 6), India’s public transit infrastructure is struggling. Despite rising vehicle sales and investments, only 37% of urban residents have easy access to public transport—well below global peers like Brazil and China. A robust and equitable mobility system is key for sustainable urban growth and workforce productivity.

Today’s Topic – Tulare Lake: The Vanished Lake Returns

Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, has reappeared in California's San Joaquin Valley. After decades of disappearance due to irrigation projects, the lake has made a dramatic return, triggered by a series of intense atmospheric river events and heavy snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.

This revival is not just an environmental occurrence but also holds deep cultural significance for the Tachi Yokut tribe, reconnecting them with their ancestral lands and traditions.
