theory highlighted by the Dada Bhai Naoroji A Abuse of trade practices by the merchants of the ruling race B Ill-gotten money taken from the princely rulers amp remitted to EnglandC Unrequited exports from IndiaD Gluttish from Indian markets with british manufactured goods Ans CDadabhai Naoroji’s work focused on the drain of wealth from India into England through colonial rule One of the reasons that the Drain theory is attributed to Naoroji is his decision to estimate the net national profit of India and by extension the effect that colonisation has on the country Through his work with economics Naoroji sought to prove that Britain was draining money out of India Naoroji described 6 factors which resulted in the external drain -Firstly India is governed by a foreign government -Secondly India does not attract immigrants which bring labour and capital for economic growth -Thirdly India pays for Britain’s civil administrations and occupational army -Fourthly India bears the burden of empire building in and out of its borders -Fifthly opening the country to free trade was actually a way to exploit India by offering highly paid jobs to foreign personnel -Lastly the principal income-earners would buy outside of India or leave with the money as they were mostly foreign personnel In Naoroji’s book ‘Poverty’ he estimated a 200–300 million pounds loss of revenue to Britain that is not returned Naoroji described this as vampirism with money being a metaphor for blood which humanised India and attempted to show Britain’s actions as monstrous in an attempt to garner sympathy for the nationalist movement When referring to the Drain Naoroji stated that he believed some tribute was necessary as payment for the services that England brought to India such as the railways However the money from these services were being drained out of India for instance the money being earned by the railways did not belong to India which supported his assessment that India was giving too much to Britain FRAMED FROM WIKEPEDIAQ37 Who among the following are the members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association 1 India2 Australia3 Indonesia4 MalaysiaSelect the correct answer

: Fluorescent coating is often used in these bulbs to add brightnessA halogen lamp also known as a tungsten halogen quartz-halogen or quartz iodine lamp is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed into a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogensuch as iodine or bromine The combination of the halogen gas and the tungsten filament produces a halogen cycle chemical reaction which redeposits evaporated tungsten to the filament increasing its life and maintaining the clarity of the envelope For this to happen a halogen lamp must be operated at a higher envelope temperature 250° C 482° F1 than a standard vacuum incandescent lamp of similar power and operating life this also produces light with higher luminous efficacy and color temperature The small size of halogen lamps permits their use in compact optical systems for projectors and illumination The small glass envelope may be enclosed in a much larger outer glass bulb for a bigger package the outer jacket will be at a much lower and safer temperature and it also protects the hot bulb from harmful contamination and makes the bulb mechanically

consider the following statements :1 It is a greenhouse gas mitigation technology which produces negative carbon dioxide emissions2 BECSS works by involving the process of pyrogenic carbon capture and storage PyCCS or biocharSelect the correct answer using the codes given below :A Only 1B Only 2C Both are correctD Both are incorrectAns A-Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage BECCS is a potential greenhouse gas mitigation technology which produces negative carbon dioxide emissions by combining bioenergy energy from biomass use with geologic carbon capture and storage1 The concept of BECCS is drawn from the integration of trees and crops which extract carbon dioxide CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow the use of this biomass in processing industries or power plants and the application of carbon capture and storage via CO2injection into geological formations2 There are other non-BECCS forms of carbon dioxide removal and storage that include technologies such as biochar carbon dioxide air captureand biomass burial3 and enhanced weatheringAccording to a recent Biorecro report there is 550 000 tonnes CO2/year in total BECCS capacity currently operating divided between three different facilities as of January 2012In the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC BECCS was indicated as a key technology for reaching low carbon dioxide atmospheric concentration targets8 The negative emissions that can be produced by BECCS has been estimated by the Royal Society to be equivalent to a 50 to 150 ppmdecrease in global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations9 and according to the International Energy Agency the BLUE map climate change mitigation scenario calls for more than 2 gigatonnes of negative CO2 emissions per year with BECCS in 205010 According to Stanford University 10 gigatonnes is achievable by this dateAccording to the OECD Achieving lower concentration targets 450 ppm depends significantly on the use of BECCS13An alternative to BECSS is pyrogenic carbon capture and storage PyCCS or biochar14 Which are superior in order to fix carbon in a more stable way: solid C for longer times Carbon dioxide

producing a protective immunological response DNA vaccines have potential advantages over conventional vaccines including the ability to induce a wider range of immune response typesSeveral DNA vaccines are available for veterinary use Currently no DNA vaccines have been approved for human use Research is investigating the approach for viral bacterial and parasitic diseases in humans as well as for several cancersApplicationsNo DNA vaccines have been approved for human use in the United States Few experimental trials have evoked a response strong enough to protect against disease and the technique’s usefulness remains to be proven in humans A veterinary DNA vaccine to protect horses from West Nile virus has been approvedFirst-Generation Vaccines Attenuated and inactivated vaccines are identified in the first generation which use a primary method in their production Attenuated pathogens full organisms or inactivated bacterial toxin which are effectively immunogenic are used in making these vaccines2nd Generation Vaccines:-The second generation vaccines were created in order to minimize the risks of having the pathogen revert to a dangerous formThe way these vaccines work is that they do not contain the whole organism but rather subunits Subunits may consist of the toxins that the pathogen create if they are bacterial Another example of subunit vaccines are those that only contain protein sections of the pathogen such as an acellular formA great example of a 2nd generation vaccine is DTaP The vaccine contains diptheria toxoid tetanus toxoid pertussis toxoid as well

the farmer Which of the statements given above is/are correct A Only 2B 2 amp 3C 1 amp 2D 123Ans DThe Niti Aayog has released a three-year agenda for the Centre Of the several things it has touched upon one is agriculture with a focus on doubling farmers’ income The think-tank has recommended reforms in the APMC Act and tenancy laws and tweaks to the eNAM electronic National Agriculture Market It has also suggested ‘Price Deficiency Payment’ system to address the gaps in Minimum Support Price MSP based procurement of cropsWhat is itUnder Price Deficiency Payment farmers are proposed to be compensated for the difference between the government-announced MSPs for select crops and their actual market prices For crops such as rice and wheat where it is effective now MSP announcements will continue For other targeted crops price deficiency payments will be made However it has to be noted that there may be a cap on the extent to which the Centre will bridge the gap between MSP and market priceNiti Aayog has said that the farmer may be entitled to the difference up to say 10 per cent To avail this benefit eachfarmer would have to register with the nearest APMC mandi and report the total area sown The subsidy may be paid via Direct Benefit Transfer DBT into the farmer’s Aadhaar-linked bank accountWhy is it importantThe key benefit from the price deficiency payment is that it will reduce the need for the government to actually procure food crops transport and store them and then dispose of them under PDS The difference between the support and market prices can instead simply be paid in cash to the farmer Price deficiency payment can also keep India’s bill on food subsidies under check believes Niti Aayog India’s food subsidy schemes have frequently come under the WTO scanner Even in the meeting held in March this year there were questions raised on the minimum support price programmes for wheat sugarcane and pulses by the US EU and AustraliaThese countries see

and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide1 Carbon sequestration involves long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to mitigate or defer global warming It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases which are released by burning fossil fuels artificial capture and sequestration of industrially produced CO2 using subsurface saline aquifers reservoirs ocean water aging oil fields or other carbon sinksCarbon dioxide may be captured as a pure by-product in processes related to petroleum refining or from flue gases from power generation5 CO2 sequestration includes the storage part of carbon capture and storage which refers to large-scale artificial capture and sequestration of industrially produced CO2 using subsurface saline aquifers reservoirs ocean water aging oil fields or other carbon sinksBiosequestration or carbon sequestration through biological processes affects the global carbon cycle Examples include major climatic fluctuations such as the Azolla event which created the current Arctic climate Such processes created fossil fuels as well as clathrate and limestone By manipulating such processes geoengineers seek to enhance sequestrationPeat bogs are a very important carbon store Wetland soil is an important carbon sink 145 of the world’s soil carbon is found in wetlands while only 6 of the world’s land is composed of wetlandsOcean iron fertilization is an example of such a geoengineering technique23 Iron fertilization24 attempts to encourage phytoplankton growth which removes carbon from the atmosphere for at least a period of timeNatural iron fertilisation events eg deposition of iron-rich dust into ocean waters can enhance carbon sequestration The iron rich feces causes phytoplankton to grow and take up more carbon from the atmosphereWhen the phytoplankton dies some of it sinks to the deep ocean and takes the atmospheric carbon with it By reducing the abundance of sperm whales in the Southern Ocean whaling has resulted in an extra 200000 tonnes of carbon remaining in the atmosphere each year’Seaweed grows very fast and can theoretically be harvested and processed to generate biomethane via Anaerobic Digestion to generate electricity via Cogeneration/CHP or as a replacement for natural gas Ideal species for such farming and conversion

Monday morning at daybreak Started for Washington 1
Este 17 de junio día del padre salvadoreño El 9 de enero de 1972 murió mi padre Alejandro Hurtado Ramos a la edad de 63 años fue un hombre que se acompañó de mi madre y se casaron hasta en el año 1957 cuando todos sus hijos ya eran mayores Tuvieron 7 hijo dos pequeños que murieron después de haber nacido mi hermano mayor Alejandro murió en un accidente de tránsito y mi hermana Marta falleció cuando tenía 68 años Al recordar a mi padre me doy cuenta de la importancia de haber tenido la suerte de tenerlo a mi lado ya que junto a mi madre formaron una familia donde supieron educar a sus hijos con amor y disciplina La importancia del padre debe ser reconocida dentro de la familia y especialmente por la mujer que debe reconocer en el hombre su presencia y la ayuda económica que le brinda a sus hijos Las organizaciones feministas manejan un dicho para desvalorizar al hombre que dice: “No es padre el que cría sino al que topan en la procuraduría” Esta manera de desprestigiar al hombre como padre de familia no debe continuar para evitar discusiones entre el hombre y la mujer ya que en el problema del reconocimiento a los hijos la mujer es la única que sabe perfectamente quien es el padre de la criatura cuando ha habido engaño de la mujer Tanto el padre como la madre tienen los mismos valores y son los hijos los que saben identificar lo que representa en sus vidas el amor del padre y la madre La idea de celebrar el día del padre ocurrió en 1909 cuando una mujer llamada Sonora Smart Dodd de Washington propuso la idea de celebrar el día del padre Esta mujer quería homenajear a su padre quien era un veterano de la guerra civil llamado Henry Jackson Smart que enviudó cuando su esposa murió durante el parto de su sexto hijo y a partir de ahí se hizo cargo de criar a sus niños cumpliendo rol de padre y tratando de cumplir el de madre y como el señor Smart había nacido el 19 de junio ella- su hija- propuso el día de su cumpleaños como día del padre Es así que el primer país donde se celebró el “Día del Padre” fue en Washington Estados Unidos el 19 de junio de 1910 El presidente Calvin Coolidge de Estados Unidos que gobernó del 2 de agosto de 1923 al 4 de marzo de 1929 instauró el 19 de junio del año 1924 como el Día del Padre y en 1964 el presidente Lyndon Johnson firmó una proclamación que declaraba el tercer domingo de junio como el Día del Padre en Estados Unidos Posteriormente la celebración se extendió a Europa América Latina Asia y África como una manera de homenajear a los padres y reconocer su papel en la crianza y la educación de sus hijos En El Salvador hace varios años la Asamblea Legislativa había decretado el 17 de Junio como día del padre pero no tenía asueto ni el padre ni la madre y fue hasta el 28 de noviembre del año 2012 que la asamblea reconoció esa fecha- 17 de junio-como “Día del Padre” pero con asueto nacional y remunerado El DECRETO DICE: “Que los padres de familia son los encargados del fortalecimiento de los valores principios y cumplimiento de los derechos y obligaciones de sus hijos dentro de la sociedad y son los propiciadores de su desarrollo afectivo emocional espiritual e integral por lo tanto la importancia que tiene el reconocimiento de la figura paterna a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad radica en la participación activa que tiene en su rol dentro del núcleo familiar Art 1 Declárase el 17 de junio de cada año DIA DEL PADRE con asueto remunerado en reconocimiento al esfuerzo y dedicación que brindan a sus hijos en su crecimiento y desarrollo integral Es así que desde el 17 de junio del año 2013 en El Salvador el Día del Padre es asueto nacional remunerado luego que así lo estableciera la Asamblea Legislativa en noviembre de 2012 La tarea difícil de un papá se complica cuando no tiene trabajo y también al darse cuenta que su hijo varón es homosexual De la misma manera sucede cuando descubre que su hija es lesbiana Son casos difíciles que un padre debe resolver y igualmente sucede cuando el hijo se involucran en las pandillas y tanto la madre como el padre en este caso tiene resultados inmediatos por ejemplo que el hijo o la hija les ayudan con dineros mal habidos producto de las extorciones o del robo En estos casos es cuando el Estado por medio de sus instituciones debe ayudar a la familia para que esta no se desintegre y por esa razón tanto el papá como la mamá deben tener responsabilidad para solucionar los problemas en la fafamilia ¿De dónde han sacado las feministas que una mujer sóla con hijoses mamá y papáLa mujer es solamente mamá y el papá de la criatura o la abandonó se separó o la mujer ocultó el nombre Felicidades en el día del padre 1

But for many years I knew none of this My personal reading choices lie elsewhere Yep I dutifully did as I was psychologically conditioned by the word-on-the-street and avoided reading a Dan Brown book Seen the movies But never read the books In fact I was one of the few who really enjoyed the film ‘Da Vinci Code’ directed by Ron Howard With the obvious understanding that the core plot was essentially bullshit Very entertaining bullshit but pure BS in any case The film of ‘Angels amp Demons’ looked promising but underwhelmed and wasn’t really very engaging and in the end degenerated into a mess of plot contrivance and bad Computer Generated Imagery And I got through around 20 minutes of that embarrassing shaking camera NASA-like-stress-test that calls itself a movie ‘Inferno’ before walking out nauseated To this day I still have no idea what it was about or how it ended and I could care lessSo back to ‘Origin’ after my third pass saw it at a Wal-Mart I got curious and later Googled ‘Origin Dan Brown Review’ First thing that got my attention: book critic ‘Ron Charles’ with the Washington Post referred to ‘Origin’ as “moronic” Several hits down I found another review wherein book critic Beejay Silcox with The Australian simply quoted the Washington Post’s “moronic” accusation in its entirety with: “Another thriller so moronic you can feel your IQ points flaking away like dandruff” declares The Washington Post” 1

FRAMED FROM THE HINDU Q383 In Context with the “Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage BECCS” consider the following statements :1 It is a greenhouse gas mitigation technology which produces negative carbon dioxide emissions2 BECSS works by involving the process of pyrogenic carbon capture and storage PyCCS or biocharSelect the correct answer using the codes given below :A Only 1B Only 2C Both are correctD Both are incorrectAns A-Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage BECCS is a potential greenhouse gas mitigation technology which produces negative carbon dioxide emissions by combining bioenergy energy from biomass use with geologic carbon capture and storage1 The concept of BECCS is drawn from the integration of trees and crops which extract carbon dioxide CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow the use of this biomass in processing industries or power plants and the application of carbon capture and storage via CO2injection into geological formations2 There are other non-BECCS forms of carbon dioxide removal and storage that include technologies such as biochar carbon dioxide air captureand biomass burial3 and enhanced weatheringAccording to a recent Biorecro report there is 550 000 tonnes CO2/year in total BECCS capacity currently operating divided between three different facilities as of January 2012In the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC BECCS was indicated as a key technology for reaching low carbon dioxide atmospheric concentration targets8 The negative emissions that can be produced by BECCS has been estimated by the Royal Society to be equivalent to a 50 to 150 ppmdecrease in global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations9 and according to the International Energy Agency the BLUE map climate change mitigation scenario calls for more than 2 gigatonnes of negative CO2 emissions per year with BECCS in 205010 According to Stanford University 10 gigatonnes is achievable by this dateAccording to the OECD Achieving lower concentration targets 450 ppm depends significantly on the use of BECCS13An alternative to BECSS is pyrogenic carbon capture and storage PyCCS or biochar14

technique for protecting against disease by injection with genetically engineered DNA so cells directly produce an antigen producing a protective immunological response DNA vaccines have potential advantages over conventional vaccines including the ability to induce a wider range of immune response typesSeveral DNA vaccines are available for veterinary use Currently no DNA vaccines have been approved for human use Research is investigating the approach for viral bacterial and parasitic diseases in humans as well as for several cancersApplicationsNo DNA vaccines have been approved for human use in the United States Few experimental trials have evoked a response strong enough to protect against disease and the technique’s usefulness remains to be proven in humans A veterinary DNA vaccine to protect horses from West Nile virus has been approvedFirst-Generation Vaccines Attenuated and inactivated vaccines are identified in the first generation which use a primary method in their production Attenuated pathogens full organisms or inactivated bacterial toxin which are effectively immunogenic are used in making these vaccines2nd Generation Vaccines:-The second generation vaccines were created in order to minimize the risks of having the pathogen revert to a dangerous formThe way these vaccines work is that they do not contain the whole organism but rather subunits Subunits may consist of the toxins that the pathogen create if they are bacterial Another example of subunit vaccines are those that only contain protein sections of the pathogen such as an acellular formA great example of a 2nd generation vaccine is DTaP The vaccine contains diptheria toxoid tetanus toxoid pertussis toxoid as well as the acellular version of pertussisAs with the issues with the 1st

With reference to the Price Deficiency Payment Scheme consider the following statements :1 It is proposed to cover all the oil seeds for which minimum support price is notified2 It does not involve any physical procurement of the crops3 All the payments will be done directly into registered bank account of the farmer Which of the statements given above is/are correct A Only 2B 2 amp 3C 1 amp 2D 123Ans DThe Niti Aayog has released a three-year agenda for the Centre Of the several things it has touched upon one is agriculture with a focus on doubling farmers’ income The think-tank has recommended reforms in the APMC Act and tenancy laws and tweaks to the eNAM electronic National Agriculture Market It has also suggested ‘Price Deficiency Payment’ system to address the gaps in Minimum Support Price MSP based procurement of cropsWhat is itUnder Price Deficiency Payment farmers are proposed to be compensated for the difference between the government-announced MSPs for select crops and their actual market prices For crops such as rice and wheat where it is effective now MSP announcements will continue For other targeted crops price deficiency payments will be made However it has to be noted that there may be a cap on the extent to which the Centre will bridge the gap between MSP and market priceNiti Aayog has said that the farmer may be entitled to the difference up to say 10 per cent To avail this benefit eachfarmer would have to register with the nearest APMC mandi and report the total area sown The subsidy may be paid via Direct Benefit Transfer DBT into the farmer’s Aadhaar-linked bank accountWhy is it importantThe key benefit from the price deficiency payment is that it will reduce the need for the government to actually procure food crops transport and store them and then dispose of them under PDS The difference between the support and market prices can instead simply be paid in cash to the farmer Price deficiency payment can also keep India’s bill on food subsidies under check believes Niti Aayog India’s food subsidy schemes have frequently come under the WTO scanner Even in the meeting held in March this year there were questions raised on the minimum support price programmes for wheat sugarcane and pulses by the US EU and AustraliaThese countries see India’s procurement subsidies as trade-distorting In recent years the government has been

2 amp 3D 123Ans DCarbon SequestrationCarbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide1 Carbon sequestration involves long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to mitigate or defer global warming It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases which are released by burning fossil fuels artificial capture and sequestration of industrially produced CO2 using subsurface saline aquifers reservoirs ocean water aging oil fields or other carbon sinksCarbon dioxide may be captured as a pure by-product in processes related to petroleum refining or from flue gases from power generation5 CO2 sequestration includes the storage part of carbon capture and storage which refers to large-scale artificial capture and sequestration of industrially produced CO2 using subsurface saline aquifers reservoirs ocean water aging oil fields or other carbon sinksBiosequestration or carbon sequestration through biological processes affects the global carbon cycle Examples include major climatic fluctuations such as the Azolla event which created the current Arctic climate Such processes created fossil fuels as well as clathrate and limestone By manipulating such processes geoengineers seek to enhance sequestrationPeat bogs are a very important carbon store Wetland soil is an important carbon sink 145 of the world’s soil carbon is found in wetlands while only 6 of the world’s land is composed of wetlandsOcean iron fertilization is an example of such a geoengineering technique23 Iron fertilization24 attempts to encourage phytoplankton growth which removes carbon from the atmosphere for at least a period of timeNatural iron fertilisation events eg deposition of iron-rich dust into ocean waters can enhance carbon sequestration The iron rich feces causes phytoplankton to grow and take up more carbon from the atmosphereWhen the phytoplankton dies some of it sinks to the deep ocean and takes the atmospheric carbon with it By reducing the abundance of sperm whales in the Southern Ocean whaling has resulted in an extra 200000 tonnes of carbon remaining in the atmosphere each year’Seaweed grows very fast and can theoretically be harvested and processed to generate biomethane via Anaerobic Digestion to generate electricity

5th was the first regiment to arrive in Washington 1
We left our camp a little before daybreak on the morning of the 20th and started for Dranesville on a foraging expedition We got as far as Difficult Creek when began throwing skirmishers out in front of our regiment As company A and our company K are the two flank companies we were thrown out on the left of the pike Company A near the road and my company on the left of the former We started through the woods on quick time I was the only officer in our company that day The Capt was in Washington and the other Lieut was at home on leave of absence As I said before we started through the woods on quick time for some three miles when we came out into a large clearing I was about one mile from the regiments on a double quick I started my skirmishers on a full run in order to keep in advance of the regiments and we kept this up for four miles Some of my men gave out and fell back on the reserve that was coming on It was pretty severe but we had to do it After getting within a half a mile of Dranesville there were some twenty shots fired at us doing no damage we kept on I was now in an open field and just about to enter a pine thicket when I discovered something wrong in there I passed the word along the line of skirmishers to halt which was done immediately I then looked in the woods again and saw one regiment of infantry and one of Cavalry laying there not more than five rods from left hand man while a Sergeant was not more than 20 paces from myself I then passed the word along the line again to rally on the road and on the Regiment When the Rebels observed this they opened fire on us with muskets and shot one of the men through the arm this however did not frighten him much He followed us We got on the road and meet the Regiment We were then ordered across the hill to support the left-our Battery The balls were now flying like hail from the rebel infantry When they saw us try to cross the hill they opened their large guns on us The shells and canister poured upon us After getting near half way across two of my men fell One was shot through the side and the other in the leg They crawled behind a small bank near the pike as we had no time to lose going over there When I got a little further a piece of shell struck me on the leg tearing off one of my pantaloon legs and scratching my leg slightly We got a little further when two more dropped that had got in my company strangers They died in a few minutes: but we got across and now came our time for operation Our Battery opened on them and the Rebels were soon laying in all kinds of shapes Some with no heads on some with no arms no legs and some you could not tell what they were We soon silenced their battery We then made a charge on them through the woods I must admit they can run faster than we can by a good deal but they could not run out of sight of our balls The woods were full of them There was one spot were we could scarcely get over the dead and wounded rebels Our loss was 10 killed and 30 or 40 wounded The Rebel loss was severe There were 170 rebels buried the day after the fight and we brought in some 40 of them wounded and 14 prisoners All in all it was a complete victory for Uncle Sam Our wounded are doing well in the hospital are in good spirits and express themselves anxious to have another chance at the rebels soon In our Regiment their were three killed and thirteen wounded of which three belong to our company The Bucktail Regiment our Regiment and the 9th suffered the most The 10th and the 12th I believe did not lose a man as they were not in the hottest of the fire 1
