MPSC examination schedule for 2012

Mumbai,: The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has announced its schedule for various examinations in the year 2012 on its website. The MPSC has taken the step to improve its functioning. They are following the footsteps of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which declares the examination schedule on its website.   

The upcoming move of the MPSC will certainly help students to prepare for their examinations well in advance. The MPSC has provided the tentative schedule of the preliminary and the main examination on its website, http://www.mpsc.gov.in. The MPSC official said that notice says specific dates will be notified and the examination shall be conducted only if government requisitions for the post are received in time.

The MPSC had published the schedule of examination of the combined civil services, police sub-inspector, sales tax inspector, assistant, Maharashtra engineering services (Group B) and Maharashtra agricultural services, civil judge junior division and judicial magistrate (first class), Maharashtra engineering services (Group A) and Maharashtra forest services.

The MPSC is the principle administering authority for conducting the civil service examination for government jobs in the state. Besides the civil services examination, it also conducts many other examinations and carries out the selection process of candidates for recruitment in different departments. 

NB Pasalkar, a MPSC member told to the media person that publishing the time-table will help candidates plan their schedule. He also emphasized that we are fully committed to make the MPSC examination transparent. The commission will make its functioning more supportive, effective and informative for the student and competitors.

NASA discovered the First Earth-size Planets Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f

NASA's Kepler mission  December 2011 discovered the first Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star 231outside our solar system. The planets, called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, but they are the smallest exoplanets ever confirmed around a star like our sun.

The discovery marks the next important milestone in the ultimate search for planets like Earth. The new planets are thought to be rocky. Kepler-20e is slightly smaller than Venus, measuring 0.87 times the radius of Earth. Kepler-20f is a bit larger than Earth, measuring 1.03 times its radius. Both planets reside in a five-planet system called Kepler-20, approximately 1000 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.

The Kepler space telescope detects planets and planet candidates by measuring dips in the brightness of more than 150000 stars to search for planets crossing in front, or transiting, their stars. The Kepler science team requires at least three transits to verify a signal as a planet.

The Kepler science team uses ground-based telescopes and the Spitzer Space Telescope to review observations on planet candidates the spacecraft finds. The star field Kepler observes in the constellations Cygnus and Lyra can be seen only from ground-based observatories in spring through early fall. The data from these other observations help determine which candidates can be validated as planets.

To validate Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, astronomers used a computer program called Blender, which runs simulations to help rule out other astrophysical phenomena masquerading as a planet. 

Kepler-20e orbits its parent star every 6.1 days and Kepler-20f every 19.6 days. These short orbital periods mean very hot, inhospitable worlds. Kepler-20f, at 800 degrees Fahrenheit, is similar to an average day on the planet Mercury. The surface temperature of Kepler-20e, at more than 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, would melt glass. The Kepler-20 system includes three other planets that are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune. Kepler-20b, the closest planet, Kepler-20c, the third planet, and Kepler-20d, the fifth planet, orbit their star every 3.7, 10.9 and 77.6 days. All five planets have orbits lying roughly within Mercury's orbit in our solar system. The host star belongs to the same G-type class as our sun, although it is slightly smaller and cooler.

The system has an unexpected arrangement. In our solar system, small, rocky worlds orbit close to the sun and large, gaseous worlds orbit farther out. In comparison, the planets of Kepler-20 are organized in alternating size: large, small, large, small and large.

Rajya Sabha approved the Bill to add more Scheduled Tribes to List

Rajya Sabha of Indian Parliament  passed the bill the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2011 to amend the list of Scheduled Tribes and add more tribes from North-Eastern India. 

The bill includes six more tribes namely Thangal, Zeme, Mate, Inpui, Liangmai, Rongmei from Manipur and substitutes Galo in place of Galong in the list of Scheduled tribes in Arunachal Pradesh.

At present, 26 communities exist in the list of Scheduled Tribes in Arunachal Pradesh, which includes Galong as well. The Lok Sabha had passed the Bill on 19 December 2011.

Steve Jobs to be posthumously honoured with a Grammy Award

The Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences on 21 December 2011 chose Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to be posthumously honoured with a Grammy award for his contribution to music technology. Jobs  is to be honoured as a creative visionary. He is one of 11 people who will be honoured with special awards.

 

Jobs, who died on 5 October 2011 of pancreatic cancer, will receive a Trustees Award on 13 February 2012 for helping create products that transformed the way music, TV, movies and books are consumed. Apple Computer Inc first received a Technical Grammy Award in 2002 for contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.

 

Bandleader and composer Dave Bartholomew, recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder will also receive the award along with Jobs.

 

The academy also picked the Allman Brothers, Glen Campbell, Diana Ross and Brazilian pianist/singer/guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim as recipients of Lifetime Achievement Awards. Jobim was known for composing The Girl from Ipanema, a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s which won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965.

 

Trumpeter Wayne Jackson, saxophonist Andrew Love of the Memphis Horns, country legend George Jones, and the late Gil Scott-Heron were also named as recipients.

 

German sound-technology firm Celemony and the late audio engineer Roger Nichols, who worked with artists including Ross, Placido Domingo, James Taylor and Stevie Wonder, were also recognised with Grammy Technical Awards.

 

The Trustees Awards are given to people who make a contribution to music beyond performance.

 

The Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences also chose seven performers to receive Lifetime Achievement Awards: The Allman Brothers Band, Glen Campbell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, George Jones, The Memphis Horns, Diana Ross, Gil Scott-Heron.
