PATWARI EXAM 2008 RESULT
23 April : World Book and Copyright Day
23 April: A symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.
The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia where on 23 April, Saint George's Day, a rose is traditionally given as a gift for each book sold. The success of the World Book and Copyright Day will depend primarily on the support received from all parties concerned (authors, publishers, teachers, librarians, public and private institutions, humanitarian NGOs and the mass media), who have been mobilized in each country by UNESCO National Commissions, UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations, Associated Schools and Libraries, and by all those who feel motivated to work together in this world celebration of books and authors.

Footprints in the Sand : A beautiful Poem
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the lord. And across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One set belonged to me, and the other to the lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. And I noticed that many times along the path of life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me so I questioned the lord about it.
One set of footprints in the sand
Lord, you promised me you'd hold my hand
Tell my why in the troubled time I looked back and I would find
One set of footprints in the sand
Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there's only one set of footsteps. I don't understand why in times I needed you most you should leave me. And the Lord replied, My precious, precious child, I love you. And I would never, never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I was carrying you.
One set of footprints in the sand
Oh yes, at last I understand
Through every storm he carried me now I praise the lord each time I see
One set of footprints in the sand
One set of footprints in the sand

POLLUTION
Pollution is the release of environmental contaminants.
The major forms of pollution include:
• Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common examples include carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight.
• Water pollution via surface runoff and leaching to groundwater.
• Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
• Radioactive contamination, added in the wake of 20th-century discoveries in atomic physics. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment.)
• Noise pollution, which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar.
• Light pollution, includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.
• Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash or municipal solid waste.
• Thermal Pollution, is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence
Sources and causes
Motor vehicle emissions are likely the leading cause of air pollution. China, United States, Russia, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions; however, Canada is the number two country, ranked per capita. Principal stationary pollution sources include chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries,[1] petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, large animal farms, PVC factories, metals production factories, plastics factories, and other heavy industry.
Some of the more common soil contaminants are chlorinated hydrocarbons (CFH), heavy metals (such as chromium, cadmium--found in rechargeable batteries, and lead--found in lead paint, aviation fuel and still in some countries, gasoline), MTBE, zinc, arsenic and benzene. Ordinary municipal landfills are the source of many chemical substances entering the soil environment (and often groundwater), emanating from the wide variety of refuse accepted, especially substances illegally discarded there, or from pre-1970 landfills that may have been subject to little control in the U.S. or EU.
Pollution can also be the consequence of a natural disaster. For example hurricanes often involve water contamination from sewage, and petrochemical spills from ruptured boats or automobiles. Larger scale and environmental damage is not uncommon when coastal oil rigs or refineries are involved. Some sources of pollution, such as nuclear power plants or oil tankers, can produce widespread and potentially hazardous releases when accidents occur.
In the case of noise pollution the dominant source class is the motor vehicle, producing about ninety percent of all unwanted noise worldwide.
Effects on human health
Pollutants can cause disease, including cancer, lupus, immune diseases, allergies, and asthma. Higher levels of background radiation have led to an increased incidence of cancer and mortality associated with it worldwide. Some illnesses are named for the places where specific pollutants were first formally implicated. One example is Minamata disease, which is caused by organic mercury compounds.
Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Ozone pollution can cause respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, throat inflammation, chest pain and congestion. Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, mostly due to contamination of drinking water by untreated sewage in developing countries. Oil spills can cause skin irritations and rashes. Noise pollution induces hearing loss, high blood pressure, stress and sleep disturbance.
Regulation and monitoring
To protect the environment from the adverse effects of pollution, many nations worldwide have enacted legislation to regulate various types of pollution as well as to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution
International Efforts :
The Kyoto Protocol is an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), an international treaty on global warming. It also reaffirms sections of the UNFCCC. Countries which ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases. A total of 141 countries have ratified the agreement. Notable exceptions include the United States and Australia, who have signed but not ratified the agreement. The stated reason for the United States not ratifying is the exemption of large emitters of greenhouse gases who are also developing countries, like China and India.
Perspectives
The earliest precursor of pollution generated by life forms would have been a natural function of their existence. The attendant consequences on viability and population levels fell within the sphere of natural selection. These would have included the demise of a population locally or ultimately, species extinction. Processes that were untenable would have resulted in a new balance brought about by changes and adaptations. At the extremes, for any form of life, consideration of pollution is superseded by that of survival.
For mankind, the factor of technology is a distinguishing and critical consideration, both as an enabler and an additional source of byproducts. Short of survival, human concerns include the range from quality of life to health hazards. Since science holds experimental demonstration to be definitive, modern treatment of toxicity or environmental harm involves defining a level at which an effect is observable. Common examples of fields where practical measurement is crucial include automobile emissions control, industrial exposure (eg OSHA PELs), toxicology (eg LD50), and medicine (eg medication and radiation doses).
"The solution to pollution is dilution", is a dictum which summarizes a traditional approach to pollution management whereby sufficiently diluted pollution is not harmful. It is well-suited to some other modern, locally-scoped applications such as laboratory safety procedure and hazardous material release emergency management. But it assumes that the dilutant is in virtually unlimited supply for the application or that resulting dilutions are acceptable in all cases.
Such simple treatment for environmental pollution on a wider scale might have had greater merit in earlier centuries when physical survival was often the highest imperative, human population and densities were lower, technologies were simpler and their byproducts more benign. But these are often no longer the case. Furthermore, advances have enabled measurement of concentrations not possible before. The use of statistical methods in evaluating outcomes has given currency to the principle of probable harm in cases where assessment is warranted but resorting to deterministic models is impractical or unfeasible. In addition, consideration of the environment beyond direct impact on human beings has gained prominence.
Yet in the absence of a superseding principle, this older approach predominates practices throughout the world. It is the basis by which to gauge concentrations of effluent for legal release, exceeding which penalties are assessed or restrictions applied. The regressive cases are those where a controlled level of release is too high or, if enforceable, is neglected. Migration from pollution dilution to elimination in many cases is confronted by challenging economical and technological barriers.
SOLUTION
The most satisfactory long-term solutions to air pollution may well be the elimination of fossil fuels and the ultimate replacement of the internal-combustion engine. To these ends efforts have begun in the United States, Japan, and Europe to develop alternative energy sources (see energy, sources of), as well as different kinds of transportation engines, perhaps powered by electricity or steam. A system of pollution allowances based on trading emission rights has been established in the United States in an attempt to use the free market to reward pollution reductions, and the international sale of surplus emission rights is permitted under the Kyoto Protocol (see below). Other proposed solutions include raising electricity and gasoline rates to better reflect environmental costs and to discourage waste and inefficiency, and mechanical controls on coal-fired utility plants.
In 1992, 150 nations signed a treaty on global warming at the UN-sponsored summit on the environment in Rio de Janeiro. A UN Conference on Climate Change, held in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, produced an international agreement to combat global warming by sharply reducing emissions of industrial gases. Although the United States abandoned the treaty in 2001, saying it was counter to U.S. interests, most other nations agreed that year on the details necessary to make the protocol a binding international treaty, and the necessary ratifications brought the treaty into force in 2005.

RISAT 2 INDIAN SPY SATELLITE
ISRO today successfully launched two satellites RISAT 2 (Radar Imaging Satellite) and ANUSAT (Anna University Satellite) by PSLV C12 (Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle) from SDSC, SHAR, Sriharikota at 6.45 am. RITSAT 2 can conduct surveillance 24X7 in all weather condition and helps to keep watch on terror camps. It also helps in disaster management and mapping of natural resources. Although its mainly a surveillance satellite but neighbouring countries are watchful of it spying capabilities. US and other countries are said to placed such satellites in space in past and at one point of time there were dangers of star wars but disintegration of USSR has melt down the cat race. India needs such satellite because of cross border terrorist activities and to have a watchful eyes on terror camps, this satellite can help in to an extent in that field.
RISAT -2 (Radar Imaging Satellite)
RISAT-2 is a Radar Imaging Satellite with all weather capability to take images of the earth. This satellite will enhance ISRO’s capability for Disaster Management applications.
Satellite Specifications
Altitude 550 km
Inclination 41 deg
Orbit Period 90 minutes
Mass 300 kg
ANUSAT (Anna University Satellite)Altitude 550 km
Inclination 41 deg
Orbit Period 90 minutes
Mass 300 kg
ANUSAT (Anna University Satellite) is the first satellite built by an Indian University under the over all guidance of ISRO and will demonstrate the technologies related to message store and forward operations. It is a micro satellite built by Anna University, Chennai.
Satellite Specifications Altitude 550 km
Inclination 41 deg
Orbit Period 90 minutes
Mass 40 kg
PSLV-C12 (Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle)
It weighs about 230 tonnes at lift off. It may be recalled that PSLV in its core alone configuration had launched AGILE and TECSAR during 2007 and 2008 respectively. This is PSLV’s 15th mission. PSLV is a four-stage launch vehicle employing both solid and liquid propulsion stages. PSLV is the trusted workhorse launch Vehicle of ISRO. During 1993-till now, PSLV had fifteen launches of which fourteen were consecutively successful. PSLV has repeatedly proved its reliability and versatility by launching 30 spacecraft (14 Indian and 16 for international customers) into a variety of orbits so far. It may be recalled that during its previous mission on October 22, 2008, PSLV had successfully launched Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which is now exploring the Moon from lunar orbit.

IPL 2 is Here and OLD is Gold for IPL teams
A few months ago no one can think of that IPL will be organised outside India with such pomp and show but its all about money and Money can buy anything in this materialistic world. some people can do anything from wearing biknis to avoiding Sari's. It not stops at that only the chairman of IPL telling FIFA to learn how tournaments should be organised, really he is right because after Indian government's refusal to provide security cover to players and organiser it become very difficult to get it ogranised and also attract spectators but Mr Modi has done both very effectively, kudos to him. This is what business all about.
The opener between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Superstars was balanced equally after Mumbai's batting but the last few overs of Chennai batting can't gather enough run to avoid the defeat. Master blaster Sachin's inning will surely shivered the opposition because if its Sachin's day no one can stop him and so happen today, he takes the man of the match award for his calculated innings.
In the second match the defending champion Rajasthan Royals bowled superbly to restrict Royal Challengers to a score of 133 and it seems Rajasthan Royal can easily achieve the target but what happened is the nightmare for Rajasthan Royals as they bowled out in the sixteenth over for 58, the lowest total of IPL and second lowest of Twenty20. Anil Kumble is the star of the match who took five wickets and at no time from the begining of the inning Rajasthan Royals seems to settle down. The most unhappy person today will be yes you guess it right Shilpa Shetty, the co-owner of Rajasthan Royals. She had done everything from dancing to shooting commercial for her team to cheer them up but it seems White Mischief cheered their team well in the end. Once again the old horns of Indian Cricket played a major role in both the matches, Sachin in the first match and Dravid and Kumble in the second match.
The opener between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Superstars was balanced equally after Mumbai's batting but the last few overs of Chennai batting can't gather enough run to avoid the defeat. Master blaster Sachin's inning will surely shivered the opposition because if its Sachin's day no one can stop him and so happen today, he takes the man of the match award for his calculated innings.
In the second match the defending champion Rajasthan Royals bowled superbly to restrict Royal Challengers to a score of 133 and it seems Rajasthan Royal can easily achieve the target but what happened is the nightmare for Rajasthan Royals as they bowled out in the sixteenth over for 58, the lowest total of IPL and second lowest of Twenty20. Anil Kumble is the star of the match who took five wickets and at no time from the begining of the inning Rajasthan Royals seems to settle down. The most unhappy person today will be yes you guess it right Shilpa Shetty, the co-owner of Rajasthan Royals. She had done everything from dancing to shooting commercial for her team to cheer them up but it seems White Mischief cheered their team well in the end. Once again the old horns of Indian Cricket played a major role in both the matches, Sachin in the first match and Dravid and Kumble in the second match.

Piratebay Team found guilty in file sharing
In a landmark judgement by Swedish court the team of piratebay.org including the founder of the site to one year jail sentence and a fine of £2.4m (30m Kroner) although one of the guilty Peter Sunde Kolmsioppi refuses to pay up the £2.4million and said that 'I'd rather burn my stuff than pay the fine'. All four defendants were accused of ‘assisting in making copyright content available’. Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, Carl Lundström, this case thus may be a historic landmark in the file sharing business as its said that piratebay has a daily traffic of whopping 22m.Set up in 2003 by Piratbyran, although it seems the site is here to stay and even if it will be closed then there are lots of other site which are not located in Sweden so they keep on running unless closed by some other court cases. and run by individuals from last five years, the site provides link to various copyrighted and other stuff in a manner its like a search engine of bit torrent.
An interesting event that takes place while hearing is that Professor Roger Wallis appeared as an expert before court and he was questioned on the link between the decline of album sales and filesharing. Wallis told the court that his research has shown that there is no relation between the two. When court asked whether he require any reimbursement for travelling allowance the professor only said that you can send my wife some flowers. What happens later was more surprising, hundreds of piratebay users send flowers to her wife and its still pouring in. Read whole story here.
The issue of piracy is so delicate that despite various measures by industry its still not curtailed. The reason may be varied high cost of the products or soething else its here and lets see how the future unfolds.

McCullum Promoted, Dada Out of Captaincy
Dada Saheb Phalke award to Manoj Kumar
Manoj Kumar, the actor and director of various Hindi movies will be felicitated with Dada Saheb Phalke award for the year 2007.The Dadasaheb Phalke Award is an annual award given by the Indian government for lifetime contribution to Indian cinema. It was instituted in 1969, the birth centenary year of Dadasaheb Phalke, considered the father of Indian cinema.
The award for a particular year is given during the end of the following year along with the National Film Awards. The Bombay High Court had directed the Directorate of Film Festivals of India (DFFI) to consider uncensored films for the competition, a case which DFFI contested and won in the Supreme Court in late 2006. The case had delayed announcement of the award for 2006, which was announced in the middle of 2008.
MANOJ KUMAR :
Manoj Kumar was born in Abbottabad, a town of the North-West Frontier Province, British India. Abbottabad is now located within the borders of Pakistan. His original name was Harikishan Giri Goswami. When he was 10, his Gosain Hindu family had to move to India owing to partition. They settled in Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan.
After graduating from Hindu College, University of Delhi, he decided to enter the film industry.
Career
As a youth, he admired Bollywood superstar Dilip Kumar, and decided to name himself Manoj Kumar after Dilip's character in Shabnam (1949).[citation needed]
After making a little-noticed début in Fashion in 1957, Manoj landed his first leading role in Kaanch Ki Gudia (1960) opposite Sayeeda Khan. Piya Milan Ki Aas and Reshmi Roomal followed, setting the stage for the Vijay Bhatt-directed Hariyali Aur Raasta (1962) opposite Mala Sinha. Kumar then appeared with Sadhana in Raj Khosla's Woh Kaun Thi (1964), and reunited with Vijay Bhatt and Mala Sinha in Himalaya Ki God Mein (1965).
The patriotic hero
Kumar's image as the patriotic hero started with the 1965 film Shaheed, based on the life of Bhagat Singh, a martyr in the struggle for India's freedom. After the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri asked him to create a film based on the popular slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kissan (Hail the soldier, hail the farmer).[citation needed]
The result was Kumar's magnum opus and his directorial debut, Upkaar (1967). In it, he played both a soldier and a farmer. The film was also noted for the famous song Mere Desh Ki Dharti, written by Gulshan Bawra, composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and sung by Mahendra Kapoor. Upkaar was a hit and won Kumar his first Filmfare Best Director Award.
After dabbling in various roles in the late 1960s, Manoj returned to patriotic themes in Purab Aur Paschim (1970), in which life in the East and West are juxtaposed. In 1972, he starred in Be-Imaan (for which he won the Filmfare Best Actor Award) and directed and starred in Shor (1972). The latter, opposite Jaya Bhaduri, was not a huge box office success, but it did feature the memorable song Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai, a duet by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh, which was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
Later career
The mid-1970s saw Kumar star in three hit films: Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974) was a social commentary featuring an all-star cast including Zeenat Aman, Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan that won him his second Filmfare Award for Best Director; Sanyasi (1975) had Kumar and Hema Malini in the lead roles of a religious-themed comedy; and Dus Numbri (1976) also gave Kumar and Hema top billing. In 1981, Kumar reached the peak of his career when he got the opportunity to direct his idol, Dilip Kumar, as well as star in Kranti, a story about the struggle for Indian independence in the 19th century. Kranti was the last notable successful film in his career.
After Kranti, Kumar's career began to decline. Many of his films failed at the box office, including 1989's Clerk. He quit acting after his last film appearance in the 1995 film Maidan-E-Jung. His son, Kunal Goswami, tried to revive the patriotic theme, and was directed by Kumar in the 1999 film Jai Hind which was a flop. Kumar was awarded the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award that same year.
Kumar's acting trademark, a hand covering the face, was very popular, though it has also been the target of satirists. In 2007, the Shah Rukh Khan film Om Shanti Om featured the lead character pretending to be Manoj Kumar so as to sneak into a movie premiere, by holding his hand over his face. Kumar filed a lawsuit, which was settled out of court.[citation needed]
Politics
Like many other Bollywood stars, Kumar decided to enter politics following his retirement. Before the 2004 general election in India, it was announced that he had officially joined the ranks of the Shiv Sena.
Personal life
Kumar is married to Shashi Goswami (originally from Jodhkan, Sirsa district, Haryana). His brother Rajiv Goswami, and son Kunal Goswami, also entered the film industry.

Clash of Titans : Rajasthan LS Elections
The stage has been set up for the big fight in Rajasthan after BJP announces the final list of its candidates with some surprises as Dr Dashrath Singh was not the frontrunner in Jhunjhunu while there were differences in the party over Col. Bainsla 's candidature but it seems Col. Bainsla joined the party only after assurance of party ticket although he denies any such promises.
The important seats where all eyes will be there are that on Ajmer seat where Sachin Pilot is contesting against Kiran Maheshwari of BJP after his old constituency Dausa get reserved so he has to overcome the tag of outsider. The one vote loss of Congress state President in assembly election is also in a tough fight against the BJP seating MP V. P. Singh from Bhilwara, he is trying to correlate himself with the constituency and it will be a matter of prestige for him to get better result after losing the assembly election and hence CM chair become a mirage for him. After the sudden demise of Girdhari Lal Bhargava, the Jaipur seat is up for grabs and congress seems to give a tough fight in the form of Mahesh Joshi who is contesting against former state minister and seating BJP MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari. The Gurjar Meena Belt will surely seems to be heating up after Kirori Mal Meena can't get the support of Congress and Col Bainsla joins BJP and contesting from Tonk-SawaiMadhopur against Union Minister Namo Narayan Meena.
Congress fielded five women candidates while BJP gives only three tickets to women candidates. The state has 25 seats with four reserved for SC and three for ST. Its seems BSP which earlier seems to gain considerable votes is lagging behind after its six MLA's switched loyality and joined Congress party just before election. So as usual the fight in Rajasthan seems to be between two parties only with Congress seems to gain due to its party being in power recently after legislative election. I request you to use your voting rights and take part in the biggest parliamentary election of the world afterall it's the matter of your well-being.
