The US President, Joe Biden stated that he is looking forward to his trip to India for the G20  summit, which will take place from 9 to 10 September in the National Capital. He will also get involved in a one-to-one meeting with PM Modi on September 8. The US President’s tour to India will commence on September 7. Last week the White House declared that the US President will ‘reassert US allegiance to the G20’ and will also talk about a spectrum of matters, including the social consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war.  While talking to the reporters, Biden said, “I am disgruntled, but I am going to get to meet him (Xi Jinping),” indicating the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum meeting that is to take place later this year in San Francisco. 

Authorized sources approved last week that Xi will miss the conference in New Delhi. Indian authorities don’t consider that the absence of any leader from a summit like the G20 is a reflection on the host. Chinese Authorities confirmed that Xi Jinping will skip the event instead the Chinese PM Li Qiang will attend the summit. Along with China, Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin will also be skipping the summit in Delhi. However,  French President Emmanuel Macron, US President Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida,  Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will all be a part of the event.

At the closing of the summit,  Brazilian President Lula will receive the baton of the G20 Presidency from PM Modi, following which Brazil will formally accept the G20 Presidency from December 1. The G20 member countries include around 85 per cent of the world’s GDP, over 75 per cent of international trade, and about two-thirds of the global population. The group includes  Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Argentina, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, the US, and the European Union (EU).

In a momentous turn of events, Dr. Arvinder Singh, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Arth Group in Udaipur, has ascended to the 33rd spot on Crunchbase’s leading list of Top-50 global influencers.

The number of wallets available on Shiba Inu’s new layer 2 blockchain, the Shibarium network, passed 1 million, rapidly increasing since the revamp. The achievement, announced in a Sept. 3 blog post by the Shibarium team’s official Shibarium team, indicates at least the number of wallets that were added since Shibarium’s launch in August. 28. This is just two weeks following it was announced that the Shibarium network went into operation — even with some technical glitches.

According to Shibarium, the Shibarium blockchain Explorer, around 100,000 transactions had occurred at 5:04 am UTC on September. 3. The highest volume of 132,000 transactions was recorded in August. 25.  Although network activity has increased, it is still unclear if the value-locked (TVL) of the Shibarium network is yet to increase in response. As of the time of this publication, the Shibarium’s TVL is only $1.06 million, which suggests that users are deploying tiny amounts of capital to the network.

In their blog article, Shibarium developers noted that they are currently working with various third-party bridges that can assist investors in transitioning other tokens to the blockchain. The team also announced plans to cancel the governance contract governing its token Bone (BONE). It stated that they’re looking to add additional validators to the network over the following months.

As of September. 1st, Shibarium users are in a position to utilize Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bone (BONE), Leash (LEASH), as well as several other tokens through Shibarium. Shibarium network to lend, borrow or stake tokens for reward points. While Many Shiba Inu holders had been hoping for a dramatic increase in the value of the different Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens following the announcement of Shibarium, the general price movement for SHIB, BONE and LEASH tokens hasn’t shown the expected increase.

Although it saw some modest increases in the days leading up to the announcement of Shibarium’s price, SHIB has since sunk just a bit more than 20 per cent since its failed launch on August—16, as per the data provided by CoinGecko. The values for the other Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens have not performed as well. BONE’s price BONE has dropped 15 per cent over the last 14 days, while LEASH has slid 14.2 per cent within the same period of time.

Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamil Nadu CM Mk Stalin said he was ready to face “whatever lawsuits they file” against him on his “eliminate Santan Dharma” comment, which the BJP also criticized. Udhayanidhi, Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports in Tamil Nadu, stated to the media on Sunday and said, “I am repeating that I only criticized Sanatan Dharma and said that Sanatan Dharma should be eradicated and I will hang tough on my statement” 

Udhayanidhi also slammed the BJP for spreading ‘fake news’ after the spokesperson of the BJP called his statement ‘inciting for a riot’. “The BJP is afraid of the INDIA bloc and they are trying to ‘distract’ attention ” he added. On September 2nd, while addressing the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers and Artists Association in Chennai.

In the common parlance of TN “ Sanathana Dharma” means Caste Hierarchical Society. Why is that everyone who is batting for “SD” comes from the privileged segment who are beneficiaries of the “Hierarchy” There was no call for “Genocide” against anyone, this is a mischievous spin.

— Karti P Chidambaram (@KartiPC) September 3, 2023

Udhayanidhi Stalin made a statement, “Sanatan Dharma should be ‘eradicated’ asserting that it is against equality and social justice. Some things cannot be fought against, they should be eliminated. Mosquitoes, dengue fever, malaria, and corona cannot be opposed. They should be eliminated. So should Sanatan.” which sparked a political debate. Union Minister, Amit Shah smashed the INDIA bloc for disrespecting the country’s culture, history, heritage, and Sanatan Dharma. 

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also condemned Stalin’s remarks on Sanatana Dharma and said, “We organized Kashi Tamil Sangamam just a few days ago, and Lord Vishwanath is celebrated in every village in Tamil Nadu. ‘Sanatana’ is endless, and it is not affected by these political statements.”

“Few people are acting childish saying I was calling for genocide while others are saying that Dravidam should be voided. Does that mean DMKians should be massacred? When Mr. Modi states the idea of ‘Congress Mukt Bharat’, does that mean Congress politicians should be killed? What is Sanatan? Sanatan means nothing should be modified and all are permanent. However, the Dravida model calls for transformation and all should be equal.” Udhayanidhi said justifying his statement. Supporting Udhayanidhi, the Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Sunday tweeted,

Apple is all set to add a new product to its iPhone lineup, the much-awaited iPhone 15 is expected to launch on 12 September 2023. The American tech giant is known for producing premium products that give best-in-class performance, and ultimate camera quality. Apple is preparing to present a total of four new models in identical sizes to the iPhone 14 models, including two 6.1-inch iPhones and two 6.7-inch iPhones. 

What to expect from the new iPhone 15?

One of the 6.1-inch iPhones will be the usual iPhone 15, while one of the 6.7-inch models will be an iPhone 15 ‘Plus’, succeeding the iPhone 14 Plus, which Apple brought back after the iPhone 8 series. The other 6.1 and 6.7-inch iPhones will be higher-end, better performance, and more pricey ‘Pro’ models. As with the iPhone 14/14 Pro range, the best attributes will be saved for the iPhone 15 Pro models to make the extra price worth it. 

Rumors so far indicate that we can hope for a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port on all of the new models as suggested by the EU, and Dynamic Island is going to be available for all of them. IPhone’s notch which has been its design statement since the iPhone X  might now be removed from the new iPhones as they adopt the Dynamic Island.

New colors

Recent rumors indicate the iPhone 15 models will be available for sale in blue, a coral shade that is a cross between pink and orange, white, black, and green/yellow. Blue and coral will be the latest colors for this year, with yellow/green, black, and white returning as basic shades in the lineup. 

Apple’s Launch Event

Talking about the launch event, sources have confirmed the date of launch to 12th September 2023. The launch event would occur at the  Pacific at Steve Jobs Theater, Apple Park at 7:30 pm (IST). The iPhone pretty much always goes on sale on a Friday, in the week following the event. The following iPhones and watches will be open for pre-orders on Friday, September 15, and the products will appear in Apple stores on Friday, September 22. Apple will certainly reveal its products on Friday of the week after the keynote. A piece of probable bad news for Apple fans here is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could be shelved, because of rumored production issues. However, unless this hold is three weeks or more, Apple will inform its unveiling at the same time, but with a different pre-order and shipping date. 

The Apple fans are surely excited to have a look at the new iPhone and experience the premium quality that the brand offers. The launch of the new flagship from Apple will surely excite the fans, also sparking the old rivalry between Samsung and Apple. The smartphone market will surely see some more flagships and competitors for Apple’s iPhone in the upcoming months ahead of the launch. 

After the success of the first two meetings in Patna and Bengaluru, the opposition parties organised a third meeting in Mumbai ahead of Lok Sabha Elections 2024. In the first meeting, only 15 parties were involved, now their number has increased to 28. On Monday,  September 1 the meeting started with the presence of several prominent parties such as Congress, Trinamool Congress, Janta Dal United, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal, National Congress Party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Communist Party of India, and others. The meeting’s mission was to draw a roadmap to the 2024 Union Elections. The alliance came up with a new slogan “Judega BHARAT, Jeetega INDIA!” whereas the motto in the last meeting was “United we Stand.” 

The INDIA bloc announced a central coordination committee consisting of 14 members from its political parties. The alliance also passed a resolution to jointly contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and said seat negotiations between member parties would begin immediately. The 14-member coordination panel of the bloc includes Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, NCP leader Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, RJD leader and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav, Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the AAP. MP Raghav Chadha, DMK leader TR Baalu, Samajwadi Party Javed Khan, Janata Dal-United National President Lalan Singh, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, CPI leader D Raja, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party senior leader Mehbooba Mufti. A member of the CPI(M) will be announced soon.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray announced major decisions in Mumbai. The opposition group contests the 2024 elections with the following decisions: 

• Contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections together as much as possible.
• Arrangements for the distribution of seats in various states will start immediately and will be completed at the earliest. 
• Organise public events as early as possible in various parts of the country on topics of interest to the general public. 
• Coordinate communication and media strategies and campaigns on ‘Judega BHARAT, Jeetega INDIA’ in various languages. 

On the one hand, when the opposition is trying to strengthen its alliance, the Government of India called a special Parliament session of 5 days, starting on 18 September. Some members of the alliance predicted that the government might be in a hurry for upcoming general elections. Other political experts claimed that the government will bring the much-awaited UCC or One Nation One Election bills.  

After the huge success of the Chandryaan-3, India’s historical mission to the moon, ISRO has announced its space mission to the Sun.

Major Objectives of Aditya-L1 

• The major science objectives of Aditya-L1’s mission will be 
  • The study of solar upper atmospheric (chromosphere and corona) dynamics
  • Chromospheric and coronal heating
  • Physics of the partially ionized plasma
  • Initiation of the coronal mass ejections
  • Flares
• The Mission will also observe the in-situ particle and plasma environment providing data for the study of particle dynamics from the Sun. 
• The mission will also help in understanding the physics of solar nimbus and its heating mechanism. 
• Studying the diagnostics of the coronal and coronal loops plasma: Temperature, velocity, and density. 
• Development, dynamics, and origin of CMEs. 
• Identifying the sequence of processes that occur at multiple layers (chromosphere, base, and extended corona) which eventually lead to solar eruptive events will also be a major purpose of the mission.
• Magnetic field topology and magnetic field sizes in the solar corona. Factors affecting space weather (source, components, and dynamics of solar wind).

All this will give a greater advantage in monitoring solar actions and their impact on space temperature in real-time. The suits of Aditya L1 loads are anticipated to deliver the most important information to comprehend the issue of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare, and flare activities and their properties, dynamics of space weather, propagation of particles and fields, etc. 

On August 23, India became the first nation to safely land a spacecraft in the moon’s south pole area. The mission is proceeding, with ISRO stating its rover had verified the presence of sulfur, iron, oxygen, and other elements on the moon.

Protocol and architecture evolution is a continuous process in computer science and technology to improve performance, efficiency, and scalability. This article delves into the transition from L2 Cache to L3 Cache  enhancements, highlighting the key differences, advancements, and real-world examples demonstrating these changes’ significance. 

Understanding L1, L2, and L3

L1 Cache: The L1 cache is the primary cache directly integrated into the CPU core. It has the quickest access time but is the smallest in size. Its primary function is saving frequently used instructions and data, reducing latency when accessing critical information.

L2 Cache: Between the L1 cache and main memory, the L2 cache is larger. It has a larger capacity than the L1 cache and can store more data. The L2 cache aims to bridge the speed gap between the L1 cache and slower main memory, improving overall system performance.

L3 Cache is a shared cache that serves multiple CPU cores. It has a higher capacity than the L2 cache and is shared by all cores on a multi-core processor. L3 cache aids in memory access latency reduction and data sharing between cores.

Stages of Evolution

Introduction of L1 and L2 caches: The evolution of CPU caches began with the introduction of L1 and L2 caches. These caches improved CPU performance significantly by reducing the time spent waiting for data to be fetched from main memory.

L3 Introduction: With the introduction of multi-core processors, there was a need for efficient data sharing between cores. This resulted in creating the L3 cache, which could be shared by multiple cores, thereby improving inter-core communication and overall system efficiency.

Advancements of L3 over L2

Capacity: Compared to the L2 cache, the L3 cache has a larger capacity, allowing it to store more data that can be accessed quickly by multiple CPU cores. This is especially useful in multi-threaded applications where different cores require access to different data sets. Sharing: The L3 cache is shared by multiple CPU cores, allowing for improved communication and data sharing between them. When cores need to access data that isn’t in their private L1 and L2 caches, this reduces latency.

Reduced bottlenecks: L3 cache acts as a buffer between the CPU cores and main memory, reducing memory access bottlenecks. This reduces the number of memory access requests the memory controller must handle. Real-world Intel Core Processors are a prime example of how L3 protocol improvements over L2 protocols have significantly impacted performance. The L3 cache in these processors is shared by all cores, allowing for faster data exchange and improved parallel processing.

Consider the following scenario: multiple CPU cores are working on a video editing task. The L3 cache stores frequently used video frames, effects, and other data, allowing each core to access them quickly without repeatedly fetching the same data from the main memory. This effective data sharing results in more fluid video rendering and faster task completion.

Conclusion:

The transition from L2 cache to L3 enhancements has improved processor performance and multi-core efficiency. The L3 cache has become a critical component in modern CPUs, with larger capacities, data-sharing capabilities, and reduced memory bottlenecks. Further optimizations and innovations in cache hierarchies will likely emerge as technology advances, continuing the trend of improving computational capabilities.

The Union Ministery of Urban Development notified the Wakf Board to vacate 123 properties including the Jama Masjid, on 22nd August. The Jama Masjid was assigned to the Wakf Board at the time of the Manmohan Singh government. The action was taken after the ministry, in February this year decided to take control over the 123 Wakf board possessions including mosques, dargahs, and cemeteries, based on the report of a two-member panel.

According to the two-member commission under the leadership of retired Justice S P Garg, the report claimed that no representation or objection was received from the Delhi Wakf Board as stated by the Land and Development Office (L&DO) of the union ministry. Adding to this the L&DO letter said, “From the above facts, it is obvious that the Delhi Wakf Board does not have any stake in the properties that are listed, neither they have any interest in the properties nor they have filed any objections or affirmations. It is, therefore, decided to vindicate Delhi Wakf Board from all affairs related to ‘123 Wakf Properties’.” 

The Delhi High Court instructed the Union government to carry out a physical inspection of 123 properties, possession of which is being asserted by the Delhi Wakf Board in May. The decision aroused a sharp response from Amanatullah Khan, an Aam Aadmi Party MLA and board Chairman who said that the decision induced widespread stress, fear, and grievance among the Muslim society. 

Wakf in India is as old as the early days of the Delhi Sultanate when Sultan Muizuddin Sam Ghaor reserved two villages in favour of the Multan’s Jama Masjid and its management was given to Shaikhul Islam. As the Delhi Sultanate and later Islamic regimes prospered in India, the count of Wakf properties kept on increasing in India.

There was a case made for the dissolution of Wakfs in India in the latter half of the 19th Century when a dispute over a Wakf property landed at the Privy Council of London during the reign of the British Raj in India. The four British judges preceding the case characterized the Wakf as “a perpetuity of the worst and the most destructive kind” and declared Wakf to be invalid. 

However, the judgment by the four magistrates was not welcomed by the Indians and the Mussalman Wakf Validating Act of 1913 held the institution of Wakf in India. Since then, no attempt has been made to restrain Wakfs, moreover, after the Armed Forces and Indian Railways, the Wakf Board is now the 3rd largest land owner in India. Political vote banks have dictated that the organization of Wakf has only been stronger after independence. 

The Wakf Act of 1954 enforced by the Nehru government gave a pathway toward the centralisation of Wakfs. Central Wakf Council of India, a regulatory body was established in 1964 by the Government of India under the Wakf Act of 1954. This prominent body controls the work under different state Wakf boards which were formed under provisions of Section 9(1) of the Wakf Act, 1954. The Wakf Act was made even more advantageous to Muslims in 1995 which as Advocate Dave highlighted, is an overriding law and there are no legislative powers over it.

On 31st August, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Prahalad Joshi announced through his Twitter that, “The Special Session of Parliament is likely to be summoned between September 18-22 and it will be having five meetings.” The Lok Sabha Secretariates have been silent about the agendas to be discussed in the special sessions, they have only revealed that the session might commence in the old parliament building while ending in the new one. According to the sources, one of the anticipated agenda for discussion could be the Union Civil Code. 

The Uniform Civil Code is a proposal in India to develop and execute individual laws of citizens that apply to all nationals equally irrespective of their religion, gender, and sexual orientation. At present, the personal laws of different communities are governed by their holy scriptures. The five-day-long special session may include a discussion on the BJP’s contentious commitment to the introduction of the bill.  Another anticipation on the agendas that are to be discussed in the special session includes One-Nation One-Election. 

PM Modi has always encouraged the argument of side-by-side elections across the state assemblies and the Lok Sabha. A conversation could be held on One-Nation One-Election, which means that polls for the Lok Sabha and all state assemblies all over India will be held simultaneously, with voting presumably taking place around the same time. This may also result in the preponement of the General Elections 2024 which were to be held in May 2024 and can now take place in December or January. 

On Monday TMC leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee said that she is worried that the BJP might conduct the Lok Sabha polls early in December 2023 or in January 2024. Later the next day, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar supported Mamta Banerjee’s assertion that the Bharatiya Janata Party might hold the Lok Sabha elections in December this year and stressed the need for the opposition parties to stay united.  On the day after the announcement of the special session, the centre has reportedly formed a committee guided by ex-president Ram Nath Kovind to examine the chances of much-talked-about One-Nation One-Election.

The particular session will also take place at the time of several major achievements, including India becoming the host of the G20 Summit that will be held in Delhi and the landing of the Chandryaan-3. In addition, the session will also take place after the Supreme Court’s decision on the conduction of the election in the union territory of Jammu Kashmir. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the judgment on when to conduct elections in the former state lay in the hands of central and state election bodies, despite multiple requisitions questioning the government’s scrapping of Article 370 in J&K.
