(Online Course) Essay Writing Skills Improvement Programme: Essays on Philosophical - Geography may remains the same, history need not (2010) Posted: 30 Aug 2012 01:11 AM PDT Part E - Essays on Philosophical & Quotation based issues Geography may remains the same; history need not. (2010) India and Pakistan, as Atal Behari Vajpayee remarked famously in 1998, can alter their history, but not their geography. That sentiment has been voiced by other Indian and Pakistani leaders since. It is born of the wisdom that enmity between two countries with a shared boundary can only take both along a mutually undermining path and there must be a commitment to finding peace and cooperation. Only sustained engagement over the long term can bring these. Such engagement is possible only when both sides stop treating every episode as a make-or-break event. When Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Yusuf Raza Gilani agreed that their Foreign Ministers should meet to find ways to bridge the "trust deficit," it was clear that the road ahead would be difficult. The talks between Foreign Ministers S.M. Krishna and Shah Mahmood Qureshi are seen in this perspective. Dear Candidate, This Material is from Essay Study Kit for Civil Services Main Examinations.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: PIB - Biomass [A Storehouse of Clean Energy] Posted: 30 Aug 2012 12:40 AM PDT Press Information Bureau Biomass - A Storehouse of Clean Energy Agriculture continues to be the main source of livelihood for a large part of population in the country. Biomass, thus, is readily available widely across the country, thereby, overcoming regional limitations. Biomass, which implies biological material from living or recently living organisms, can be used as an important source of energy. It is a renewable and carbon natural source of energy. Biomass resources in India are estimated to be about  565 million tonnes per year. It includes agriculture residues and forest residues. Agriculture residues result from crop harvesting and processing. They include rice husk, bagasse, sugar cane tops and leaves, groundnut shells, cotton stalks and mustard stalks. Forest residues result from logging and wood processing. They include small trees, branches, tops and un-merchantable wood left in the forest. The surplus biomass resources available for power generation annually are about 189million tonnes, which could support roughly 25 GW of installed capacity. Further, co-generation plants provide both heat energy, used in the mill, and electricity, which is typically sold to the grid. It is estimated that about 15 GW of electricity generating capacity could be achieved through adding cogeneration capabilities in various industries including sugar mills, breweries, textile mills, distilleries, fertilizer plants, pulp and paper mills, and rice mills. In addition, there exists a potential of setting up 12 million family type biogas plants. A. Types of Biomass Biomass includes three distinct categories: Solid Biomass, which includes tree, crop residues like rice husk, bagasse, coconut shells, jute waste, etc. and animal and human waste. Biogas which is obtained by anaerobically digesting organic material to produce combustible gas methane. Liquid biofuels which are obtained by subjecting organic materials to one of various chemical or physical processes to produce usable combustible liquid fuels.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Sci & Tech Issues - Has The Earth’s Sixth Mass Extinctional Ready Arrived. Posted: 30 Aug 2012 12:28 AM PDT Science and Technological Issues Has The Earth's Sixth Mass Extinctional Ready Arrived? With the steep decline in populations of many animal species, from frogs and fish to tigers, some scientists have warned that Earth is on the brink of a mass extinction like those that occurred only five times before during the past 540 million years. Each of these 'Big Five' saw three-quarters or more of all animal species go extinct. In a study published today (March 3) in Nature, University of California, Berkeley, paleobiologists assess where mammals and other species stand today in terms of possible extinction, compared with the past 540 million years, and they find cause for hope as well as alarm.

(Online Course) Pub Ad for IAS Mains: Chapter: 12 (Financial Administration) - Monetary policy (Paper -1) Posted: 29 Aug 2012 03:07 AM PDT Paper - 1 Chapter: 12 (Financial Administration) Monetary policy Monetary policy is the process by which the government, central bank, or monetary authority of a country controls (i) the supply of money, (ii) availability of money, and (iii) cost of money or rate of interest, in order to attain a set of objectives oriented towards the growth and stability of the economy. Monetary theory provides insight into how to craft optimal monetary polics. Monetary, policy is referred to as either being an expansionary policy, or a contractionary policy, where an expansionary policy increases the total supply of money in the economy, and a contractionary policy decreases the total money supply. Expansionary policy is traditionally used to combat unemployment in a recession by lowering interest rates, while contractionary policy involves raising interest rates in order to combat inflation. Monetary policy is contrasted with fiscal policy, which refers to government borrowing, spending and taxation.

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: Yojana Magazine - Credit Rating Posted: 28 Aug 2012 11:07 PM PDT Yojana Magazine Credit Rating What is Credit Rating? Answer: A credit rating evaluates the creditworthiness of an issuer of specific types of debt, specifically, debt issued by a business enterprise such as a corporation or a government. It is an evaluation made by a credit rating agency of the debt issuers likelihood of default. Credit ratings are determined by credit ratings agencies. The credit rating represents the credit rating agency's evaluation of qualitative and quantitative information for a company or government; including non-public information obtained by the credit rating agencies analysts. Credit ratings are not based on mathematical formulas. Instead, credit rating agencies use their judgment and experience in determining what public and private information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular company or government. The credit rating is used by individuals and entities that purchase the bonds issued by companies and governments to determine the likelihood that the government will pay its bond obligations. Are Credit Ratings and Credit Scores the same? If not, what is the difference between the two? Dear Candidate, This Material is from Our Study Kit of Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012 .

(Online Course) Contemporary Issues for IAS Mains 2012: The Hindu - Holy grail of Particle Physics Posted: 28 Aug 2012 10:56 PM PDT The Hindu Holy grail of Particle Physics Q. Write a short notes on Large Harden Collider. This was achieved through the introduction of a hypothetical particle called Higgs — after Peter Higgs who proposed it — and an associated force. With the advent in 2009 of the highest energy accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, which opened up a new energy domain, hopes of discovering Higgs have been high. Two entirely independent experiments at CERN, ATLAS and CMS, have seen an excess of events that are attributable to Higgs. By summer, these experiments had excluded vast regions of mass where Higgs could exist, leaving just a narrow window. The latest results, announced on December 13, have squeezed the window further to around 125 times the mass of a proton. Since two independent experiments have arrived at the same conclusions, these are tantalising  signals — but not good enough to be called a discovery. At present there is just about one per cent chance of the excess being due to fluctuations in the background. The golden rule for discovery in particle physics is that such a c hance should be less than one in a million. A definitive statement on the existence or non-existence of Higgs requires more LHC data running through 2012. If Higgs does not show up even then, there will be an upheaval in the current understanding of the sub-atomic world, with the crucial question on the origin of mass remaining unanswered. But that, as we have seen before in the history of physics, is only likely to throw up even more revolutionary ideas.
