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 more similar to a conventional lamp that it might replaceStandard and halogen incandescent bulbs are much less efficient than LED and compact fluorescent lamps and have been banned in many jurisdictions because of thisMOCK Q401- FRAMED FROM The Hindu Q Consider the following statements :1 Origin of Bitcoin is virtually anonymous amp is not monitored by any Central bank or Government2

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

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

polystyrene is clear hard and rather brittle It is an inexpensive resin per unit weight It is a rather poor barrier to oxygen and water vapor and has a relatively low melting pointPolystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics the scale of its production being several million tonnes per yearPolystyrene can be naturally transparent but can be colored with colorants Uses include protective packaging such as packing peanuts and CD and DVD cases containers such as clamshells lids bottles trays tumblers disposable cutlery5 and in the making of modelsPolystyrene is very slow to biodegrade and is therefore a focus of controversy among environmentalists It is increasingly abundant as a form of litter in the outdoor environment particularly along shores and waterways especially in its foam form and also in increasing quantities in the Pacific OceanPolystyrene is chemically very inert being resistant to acids and bases but is easily dissolved by many chlorinated solvents and many aromatic hydrocarbon solvents Because of its resilience and inertness it is used for fabricating many objects of commerce It is attacked by many organic solvents which dissolve the polymer Foamed polystyrene is used for packaging chemicalsLike all organic compounds polystyrene burns to give carbon dioxide and water vapor Polystyrene being an aromatic hydrocarbon typically combusts incompletely as indicated by the sooty flamePolystyrene is generally non-biodegradable Polystyrene is commonly used in containers for food and drinks The styrene monomer from which polystyrene is made is a cancer suspect agentAnother Japanese study conducted on wild-type and AhR-null mice found that the styrene trimer which the authors detected in cooked polystyrene container-packed instant foods may increase thyroid hormone levelsWhether polystyrene can be microwaved with food is controversial Some containers may be safely used in a microwave but only if labelled as such67 Some sources suggest that foods

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

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

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

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

When I was first exposed to financial modeling in the late 1970’s I thought I had died and gone to heaven What could be more interesting and fun than something involving business and overflowing with math That involved light programming of a computer Where you could represent a business by a series of equations Load up history to provide a solid basis to demonstrate that the model works Make assumptions about the future and examine the impact instantly Provide real insight into the drivers of profits and cash flow Improve decision making when the stakes are high This is the financial modeling I grew to love and adore Back then there was a problem though and that was the expense of developing and running financial models Financial modeling languages had just come into being and you could rent time on big mainframe computers to use them Popular modeling languages back then included Profit II from Service Bureau Corp and IFPS from Execucom I learned a product called FCS while working in the Washington DC sales office of Comshare one of the smaller computer timesharing firms Customers would reach what we called the ouch point of timesharing usage This is when the model is so successful that the bill grows large enough to be noticed by senior management I had customers spending as much as 10000 per month for corporate planning models or investment decision models We used to joke about the 1000 carriage return for customers who ran Monte Carlo simulations which ate up CPU cycles then faster than a millennial changing radio stations during a short drive to the storeThis was the idea behind Ferox Microsystems: that financial modeling is great but there had to be a cheaper way to get it done Well – that’s the idea I like to tell people The reality is that when I left Comshare in late 1979 and bought my first personal computers – a Radio Shack TRS 80 that depended on cassette tape for storage and then luckily an Apple II with real floppy disk storage – I didn’t think the PC’s were powerful enough to handle a fully featured financial modeling language I just wanted to fulfill my lifelong dream of starting my own company and being my own boss I figured maybe I could do something simple like accounting software for small companies I was 25 years old at the time and of course didn’t know diddly-squat about what accounting software needed to do There were lots of things I didn’t know but I had a newly arranged 6000 second mortgage and a working wife – so at least I had a little runway I figured it was about 6 months when I first started off It never got up that high ever again! Such is the life of an entrepreneur Almost 40 years later I still have the same working wife and a different second mortgage But what a journey in between!What happened in the early days is something I know now to call a Pivot in modern day startup parlance I was doing some financial modeling on a consulting basis to help keep the cash flowing in the early days and kept hearing from customers can’t you find a cheaper way to do this I had been digging into the Apple II and learned to program in Pascal A stroke of brilliance on Apple’s part was the way they integrated the language Pascal with its own operating system that took care of memory management Without a lot of technical skill you could write programs too big to fit in memory and Apple Pascal would take care of loading into memory only that code needed to run at the time My early foray into earning money from my Apple II was to write a Pascal program to do cash flow projections and calculate an internal rate of return for a dog kennel expansion This was for a CPA friend of mine and his dog kennel client who worked for a Comshare customer but did book-keeping and tax work on the side He knew about the value of financial modeling to do budgeting and evaluate investments but also knew the cost was way out of reach for his client I took on the project to learn and earn at the same timeThe nice thing about using a financial modeling language vs a general purpose programming language is that it is much easier to make changes Also the number of lines of code you need to write to accomplish a given task is much less with a financial modeling language Back in the 70’s and 80’s a financial modeling language was considered a ‘higher level language I think we called it a 3rd generation language – with the first generation being assembly language and the second generation being general purpose programming languages such as Fortran COBOL or PascalSo to use a general purpose programming language on a micro-computer to do financial modeling meant that you saved a lot in computer costs but at the expense of your time This was driven home to me about the 14th time my CPA friend asked me to add just one more column to the final report I figure I earned all of 50 cents per hour on this particular projectBut the real benefit was that I had to code up many elements needed by a modeling language – such as the ability to format numbers with commas and decimal points use brackets around negative numbers calculate financial functions such as the Internal Rate of Return I had created some of the building blocks of a financial modeling language I reached a point where I decided to go full bore and see if I could prove to myself that it was feasible to develop a modeling language to run on the Apple II computer I was off to the races to develop what I now know to call an MVP or Minimum Viable Product This was a race against time Every hour spent developing the product was an hour I couldn’t sell and chipped away at my shrinking runway of small business survivalIn the Spring of 1980 I got to the point where I felt I had something to show and decided to put on an open house in my fancy new digs – the basement of a four story office building in Falls Church Va We learned to keep flashlights in our desk drawers at all times in the event of a power outage When the lights went out it went pitch dark I was down to my last 500 by the time the event was scheduled I invited my Comshare friends as well as several Comshare customers Even the bank manager from next door attended I forget his name but he figures prominently in this startup story before too long I enlisted my mother and father to help with the preparations as well as the event itselfAnd no we did not have to deal with a power outage In fact the open house was a resounding success I had three very strong expressions of interest from Comshare customers and a bank manager who assured me his bank could provide financing What could possibly go wrongIt turns out a lot But a lot went right as well And I found that financial modeling has been a constant in my career A tool for delivering high value to customers who need help understanding the complexities of their companies and exploring tough decisions Who plan to use the models over a long period of time to make plans and monitor performance against plan For me personally financial modeling has been a godsend Financial models have helped me guide my enterprises through tough times and good I’ve been able to get the peace of mind of looking forward with confidence and not just backward with frightFast forward to the present I’ve landed as the CFO of Issuetrak a company of 40 people my brother Hank founded 25 years ago I still can’t seem to get away from financial modeling I’m getting ready to update the Issuetrak Corporate Planning model with May actuals and re-forecast the rest of the year It’s kind of poetic justice that I now am the customer and not the vendor I can see what it is like to use a complicated model over a long period time – and how important it is for the model to change and grow with the business I plan to use this deep well of real world experience in the latest incarnation of SurvivalWare my financial modeling toolOK back to the Ferox open house in 1980 and the bank manager from next door Not only did I get strong expressions of interest from prospective customers but the Marriott Corporation committed to buying the software if I could provide them the hardware for 30 days to prove it worked With the printer monitor and extra disk drives we were talking 5000 or to make it happen The bank manager said no problem and I arranged to deliver the setup to Marriott on a Friday On a Thursday I got a call from a sheepish bank manager The loan committee had turned down my lousy 5000 loan I had to scramble big time and ended up convincing a computer dealer to sell me the equipment with 30 day terms The software worked Marriott became my first customer and life was good But to this day I have an attitude about bankers |

The war on terror as seen by Washington and a complaisant US media is the ultimate money and power machine requiring a huge military and intelligence commitment that is endless and not confined to any part of the world As terror has no capital city or national identity the war against it cannot end through capture and surrender As it is a secret war it can be waged using unconventional methods without regard for the deaths of civilians who are seen as sheltering the terrorists guaranteeing that the blood of the innocent will produce new generations raised hating America The bleeding will continue forever and everywhere as long as there are terrorists justifying government intrusion into the lives of the citizens at home and huge and unsustainable budgets to wage the war worldwide It is George Orwell’s dark vision of 1984 turned into reality Tyranny and bankruptcy will be the war on terror’s legacy |

-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

We are grateful to the Washington Post the New York Times Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries |
