Download Free Study Materials In Letter From Editor The first edition of snippet in the year 2018 was very productive about 28 questions were directly from our work. The attempt has been made to increas the coverage and make this years Snippet more comprehensive Snippet-365 has been prepared keeping in mind Civil Services Prelims Exam, 2019. Several topics have been chosen based on the type of questions asked by UPSC from nonstatic portion of syllabus in last four years. Here, it needs to be clarified that it is not merely a current affairs notes. It has certain issues covered which were not much in news but can be asked. It not only covers major important happenings in the last year but also includes important happenings beyond last one year. Also emphasis has been made to provide concise material from the static part which were in news. Efforts have been made to cover all those topics, which have very high probability of being asked. The topics, which have little chances, have been omitted to save the effort of students. We believe there is no point in investing too much of energy in mugging up everything under the sky, because it has dual risk. First, in the process of remembering a lot of things, one may miss on the most important things. Second, it’ll eat away vital time that can be given to static portion. Also this note has only that information, which can be asked in an objective kind of test. So, ‘why’, ‘how’, ‘what next’ kind of things have been avoided. Only objective and factual information has been put. At the same time, the note covers a topic comprehensively in the sense that several relevant aspect related to a topic is also covered. At some places, certain “related topics” from static portion has been mentioned. These topics have a high probability of being asked. So, students must revise them once while studying this note. We sincerely hope that Snippet-365 helps you clear the Civil Services Prelims – 2019. All the Best !

This sub-section covers both domestic and international organizations. 2. Economy and Social Development: In this section a holistic coverage of all the basic concepts as well differents concepts in news have been covered. 3. Polity: It has been tried to avoid static part, which is available in standard text book, even if they were in news. Supreme Court judgments are also not asked in PT. So, they have also been avoided to save time of students. 4. International Relation: This section is prepared with a view to provide holistic perspective of International happenings. It covers major international events alongwith static part- Organisations, Groupings and Treaties. Organizations - UPSC frequently asks about organizations. We have extensively covered National and International Organizations including various UN bodies. Some of the national organizations have been included to help in comparative stduies. Index, Ranking and Reports: Various rankings which were in news or which are released by renowned Indian and International organizations have been covered. Some less significant one have been omitted as UPSC focuses on familiar ones. 5. Science and Technology: This section covers certain important technologies, which were in news. Some very technical things have been avoided as UPSC doesn’t ask them. Space mission have been given extensive coverage. 6. Government Schemes: This section has also been comprehensively covered. After this extensive coverage, it is believed that students won’t need to look after any other source for government schemes. It has been observed that apart from the schemes, certain important projects are asked by UPSC. We have put them together under one section 7. Defense Capability of India: This section covers Defense and security related aspects like missile capability, aircraft carriers etc. The coverage is comprehensive. 8. Miscellaneous Themes of Preliminary Examination: In recent years, UPSC is asking certain unconventional themes like committees, certifications, ratings etc. We have tried to capture certain trends. 25B, 2nd Floor, Pusa Road, Old Rajendra Nagar, Metro Pillar Number 117 • Tel. : 011-49274400, 9205274743 ENVIRONMENT NOTES BIOFUEL • A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels like coal and Petroleum. • First Generation Biofuel- They are produced directly from food crops. Crops such as wheat and sugar are the most widely used feedstock. They have caused to food vs fuel debate. • Second Generation Biofuel- They are produced on marginal crop lands unsuitable for food production. They are produced from non-food crops such as wood, organic waste, food crop waste and specific biomass crops. For example-Jatropha. Thus, it overcomes over food vs fuel debate in first generation biofuel. It is also aimed at being cost competitive in relation to existing fossil fuels and increasing Net energy gains. • Third Generation Biofuels- It is based on biomass of specially engineered energy crops such as algae as its energy source. The algae are cultured to act as a low-cost, high- energy and entirely renewable feedstock. Algae will have the potential to produce more energy per acre than conventional crops. • Fourth Generation Biofuels- These are aimed at producing sustainable energy and also capturing and storing carbon dioxide. This process differs from second and third generation production as at all stages of production the carbon dioxide is captured which can be then geo-sequestered. This carbon capture makes fourth generation biofuel production carbon negative rather than simply carbon neutral, as it is ‘locks’ away more carbon than it produces. Sources of Ethanol and Bio-diesel are: Ethanol Bio-Diesel Sugar cane, Soy, Sugar Beet, Sweet Sorghum, Jatropha curcas, Castor bean, Corn, Cassava Rapeseed, Soybean National Policy on Biofuels - 2018 • The Union Cabinet has approved National Policy on Biofuels – 2018. Salient Features: i. The Policy categorises biofuels as “Basic Biofuels” viz. First Generation (1G) bioethanol & biodiesel and “Advanced Biofuels” - Second Generation (2G) ethanol, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to drop-in fuels, Third Generation (3G) biofuels, bio-CNG etc. to enable extension of appropriate financial and fiscal incentives under each category. ii. Farmers are at a risk of not getting appropriate price for their produce during the surplus production phase. Taking this into account, the Policy allows use of surplus food grains for production of ethanol for blending with petrol with the approval of National Biofuel Coordination Committee. iii. Damaged food grains like wheat, broken rice, Rotten Potatoes, unfit for human consumption may be allowed to be used for ethanol production. iv. Provisions for viability gap funding for setting up of 2G ethanol Bio refineries BIOREMEDIATION • Bio remediation is a treatment that uses naturally occurring organisms to break down hazardous substances into less toxic or non-toxic substances. When bioremediation is done using living plants, it is called Phytoremediation 25B, 2nd Floor, Pusa Road, Old Rajendra Nagar, 1 Metro Pillar Number 117 • Tel. : 011-49274400, 9205274743 • Oil zapper : it is essentially a cocktail of five different bacterial strains. It feeds on NOTES hydrocarbon compounds present in crude oil and converts them into CO2 and water. • Pseudomonas putida : it is the first patented organism in the world. It is a genetically modified organism that has the ability to degrade organic solvents. Thus, it can also be used to clean petro-chemical contamination of water. Bioremediation related technologies: • Bio venting: an in-situ remediation technology. It enhances the activity of indigenous bacteria and simulates the natural in situ biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil by inducing air or oxygen flow into the unsaturated zone and, if necessary, by adding nutrients. • Bio leaching:- extraction of metals from their ores through the use of living organisms instead of using harmful chemical substances such as cyanide etc., • Land farming: ex -situ bioremediation treatment process that is performed in the upper soil zone or in bio treatment cells. Contaminated soils, sediments, or sludges are transported to the land farming site incorporated into the soil surface and periodically turned over (tilled) to aerate the mixture • Composting: Aerobic bacteria and fungi decompose the organic matter into compost used as fertilizer. Output includes heat, carbon dioxide, and ammonium mainly. The process is speed up by adding composting worms - this is called vermiculture • Bio-augmentation - is the practice of adding cultured microorganisms into the sub- surface for the purpose of biodegrading specific soil and groundwater contaminants. • Bio-stimulation- modification of the environment to stimulate existing bacteria capable of bioremediation.

These include the develop- ment of a network of pilgrimage centers, the renaissance of medieval pilgrim routes, the unflagging popularity of pilgrimages on foot as well as new forms using bicycles, canoes, skis, scooters, rollerblades and trailskates; along with riding, Nordic walking, running and so on. Related to pilgrimages, there is a growing interest in so-called ‘holidays’ in monasteries, hermitages and retreat homes, as well as a steady increase in weekend religious tourism. Religious tourists and pilgrims are attracted to shrines by mysteries, church fairs and religious festivals, in addition to regular religious services and ceremonies. Keywords: religious tourism, pilgrimages, shrine, pilgrim routes, Camino de Santiago (Way of St James). 1.

  • Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design
    Difference and Repetition in Redevelopment Projects for the Al Kadhimiya Historical Site, Baghdad, Iraq: Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design Of the college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning 2018 By Najlaa K. Kareem Bachelor of Architecture, University of Technology 1999 Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning, University of Baghdad 2004 Dissertation Committee: Adrian Parr, PhD (Chair) Laura Jenkins, PhD Patrick Snadon, PhD Abstract In his book Difference and Repetition, the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze distinguishes between two theories of repetition, one associated with the ‘Platonic’ theory and the other with the ‘Nietzschean’ theory. Repetition in the ‘Platonic’ theory, via the criterion of accuracy, can be identified as a repetition of homogeneity, using pre-established similitude or identity to repeat the Same, while repetition in the ‘Nietzschean’ theory, via the criterion of authenticity, is aligned with the virtual rather than real, producing simulacra or phantasms as a repetition of heterogeneity. It is argued in this dissertation that the distinction that Deleuze forms between modes of repetition has a vital role in his innovative approaches to the Nietzschean’s notion of ‘eternal return’ as a differential ontology, offering numerous insights into work on issues of homogeneity and heterogeneity in a design process. Deleuze challenges the assumed capture within a conventional perspective by using German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s conception of the ‘eternal return.’ This dissertation aims to question the conventional praxis of architecture and urban design formalisms through the impulse of ‘becoming’ and ‘non- representational’ thinking of Deleuze.

  • Harpreet Singh
    FROM GURU NANAK TO NEW ZEALAND: Mobility in the Sikh Tradition and the History of the Sikh Community in New Zealand to 1947 Harpreet Singh A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, The University of Otago, 2016. Abstract Currently the research on Sikhs in New Zealand has been defined by W. H. McLeod’s Punjabis in New Zealand (published in the 1980s). The studies in this book revealed Sikh history in New Zealand through the lens of oral history by focussing on the memory of the original settlers and their descendants. However, the advancement of technology has facilitated access to digitised historical documents including newspapers and archives. This dissertation uses these extensive databases of digitised material (combined with non-digital sources) to recover an extensive, if fragmentary, history of South Asians and Sikhs in New Zealand. This dissertation seeks to reconstruct mobility within Sikhism by analysing migration to New Zealand against the backdrop of the early period of Sikh history. Covering the period of the Sikh Gurus, the eighteenth century, the period of the Sikh Kingdom and the colonial era, the research establishes a pattern of mobility leading to migration to New Zealand. The pattern is established by utilising evidence from various aspects of the Sikh faith including Sikh institutions, scripture, literature, and other historical sources of each period to show how mobility was indigenous to the Sikh tradition. It also explores the relationship of Sikhs with the British, which was integral to the absorption of Sikhs into the Empire and continuity of mobile traditions that ultimately led them to New Zealand.

  • The Restoration of Sanctuaries in Attica, Ii
    THE RESTORATIONOF SANCTUARIESIN ATTICA, II The Structure of IG IJ2, 1035 and the Topography of Salamis J[N a previousarticle ' I offered a new study of the text and date of this inscrip- tion. That study has made possible a treatment of the significance of the document for the topography of Attica, particularly Salamis. As I hope to show, both the organization and the contents of the decree, which orders the restoration of sacred and state properties which had fallen into private hands, offer clues to help fix the location of some ancient landmarks. THE DECREES There are two decrees on the stone. The first ends with line 2a, to which line 3 is appended to record the result of the vote. A second, smaller fragment of the stele bears lettering identifiable as belonging to this first decree; 2 since it shows traces of eight lines of text, the decree can have had no less. The maximum length of the original would be about twenty lines, as more would imply an improb- ably tall stele.3 The text of this first decree is too fragmentary to permit a firm statement of its purpose, but one may venture a working hypothesis that it was the basic resolution of the demos to restore the properties, while the second decree was an implementation of that resolution. In support of that view I offer the following considerations: 1) The two decrees were apparently passed at the same assembly, as may be inferred from the abbreviated prescript of the second one; ' 2) although the second decree was probably longer, the first was more important; a record was made of the vote on it but not of the vote on the subsequent resolution; 3) since the second decree clearly provides for the cleansing, rededication and perpetual ten- dance of the sanctuaries, the only more important item possible would be the basic 1 G.

  • A Shinto Shrine Turned Local: the Case of Kotohira Jinsha Dazaifu Tenmangu and Its Acculturation on O'ahu
    A SHINTO SHRINE TURNED LOCAL: THE CASE OF KOTOHIRA JINSHA DAZAIFU TENMANGU AND ITS ACCULTURATION ON O'AHU A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RELIGION MAY 2018 By Richard Malcolm Crum Thesis Committee: Helen Baroni, Chairperson Michel Mohr Mark McNally ABSTRACT This project examines the institution of Hawai’i Kotohira Jinsha Dazaifu Tenmangu in Honolulu as an example of a New Religious Movement. Founded in Hawai`i, the shrine incorporated ritual practices from Sect Shinto customs brought to the islands by Japanese immigrants. Building on the few available scholarly studies, I hypothesize that while Hawai`i Kotohira Jinsha Dazaifu Tenmangu takes the ritual conduct, priestly training, and the festival calendar from a Japanese mainland style of Shinto, the development of the shrine since its foundation in 1920 to the present reflects characteristics of a New Religious Movement. Elements such as the location of the shrine outside of Japan, attendee demographics, non-traditional American and Hawaiian gods included in the pantheon, the inclusion of English as the lingua-franca during festivals and rituals, and the internal hierarchy and structure (both political and physical) lend to the idea of Hawaiian Shinto being something unique and outside of the realm of Sect, Shrine, or State Shinto in Japan. i Table of Contents Introduction Local Scholarship Review, the Hawaiian Islands, and Claims…………………………………….1 How do we define

    Tour Report Visit to Bodh Gaya and Patna by Hon’ble Members Smt. Spalzes Angmo and Shri H.S. Hanspal from 30th December, 2009 to 3rd January, 2010. In view of the recent protest held in Delhi against the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee Act of 1949, a team of National Commission for Minorities consisting of myself and Shri H.S. Hanspal went on a tour to Bihar from 30th December, 2009 to 3rd January, 2010 to assess the situation on ground and also to review the implementation of the Prime Minister’s 15 Point programme. We reached Patna on 30th December, 2009 and were received at the Airport by Mr. Abul Hasan CEO, Bihar State Sunni Wakf Board and Mr. Sohaib Ahmed, Deputy Secretary, Minority Welfare Department. At Patna, a meeting was held with representative of Minority Commission’s Members and various Muslim groups Maulana Rahman Qasmi, Chairman Bihar State Haj Committee, Maulana Ezaz Ahmad, Chairman, Madarasa Board Shri Naushad Ahmad, Chairman Minorities Commission, Dr. Dileep Sinha, Vice Chairman, Minorities Commission and NGO’s were present who presented their grievances regarding non – implementation of the various schemes meant for minorities. It seems there were no schemes for lending loans for education. There was delay in scholarship distribution. The Buddhists representative monk Ven. Mahanama Bhante brought forth the major grievances of the Buddhist community regarding the amendment of the Bodh Gaya Temple Management Committee Act of 1949 which violated the right of religious freedom and stated that no other religious institution in the country was allowed to be run by people not professing the faith to which the institution belonged.
