Bring the man to me at once. 

The king ordered the guard to bring the man to him at once.

The king did not want any more talk about the hilsa­fish because it was the season for hilsafish and no one could stop talking about it for even five minutes. He was getting annoyed with all the talk about hilsa­fish.

After he had bought the fish, Gopal reached the palace and told the guards that he wanted to see the king. When the guards did not let him in, he began to dance and sing loudly. When the king heard this, and also the comments of the people watching the man sing and dance, he asked for the man to be brought before him.

I accept the challenge, Your Majesty. 

Gopal told the king that he accepted the challenge.

There was once a play which became very successful. A famous actor was acting in it. In the play his role was that of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in a castle for twenty years. In the last act of the play someone would come on the stage with a letter which he would hand over to the prisoner. Even though the aristocrat was not expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that the letter be written out from beginning to end.

The old farmer was a kind person. He loved his dog as if it was his own baby. He fed it with fish with his own chopsticks and all the boiled rice it wanted. He was patient and kind to everything that had life, and often dug up a sod on purpose to give food to the birds.

The daimio rewarded the farmer for making an old withered cherry tree blossom once again. Like the farmer, his greedy neighbour also sprinkled ashes over a withered cherry tree. However, the result this time was different. The tree did not blossom, while the wind blew the dust into the noses and eyes of the daimio and his wife. This was the reason why the greedy neighbour was punished

(i) The spirit of the dog asked the farmer to cut down the pine tree over its grave, and make from it a mortar for rice pastry and a mill for bean sauce. The farmer did so. Some time close to the New Year, the farmer wanted to make some rice pastry. When the rice was boiled, his wife put it into the mortar and he pounded the mass into dough. When the pastry was ready for baking, the whole mass turned into a heap of gold coins. Similarly, when beans were ground in the hand­mill, gold started dropping from it like rain and in a few minutes, the tub under the mill was filled with gold. 

(ii) Informing the farmer about how his wicked neighbours had burned the handmill, the spirit of the dog asked him to take the ashes of the mill and sprinkle them on withered trees to make them bloom. The old man did so and found to his delight that the words of the spirit were indeed true. The bare cherry tree in his garden sprouted blossoms when a pinch of the ashes were sprinkled on it. Later, he was rewarded by the daimio for making an old withered cherry tree blossom once again

The greedy couple borrowed the mill and the mortar to make a pile of gold.

When the old couple became rich, they lived comfortably and were generous towards their poor neighbours. 

The old farmer and his wife loved the dog as if it was their own baby. 

This training course disseminates the 5 elements of effective communication: the sender, language, environment, the receiver, and feedback. All of these elements contribute to sending and receiving a concise, clear message.

Connecting to nature on a farm might be just the sign you need to make the lifestyle change you want. According to Best Life, seeing a farm in your dream signals "a self-reliant nature," meaning you are a deeply independent person who might be craving even more freedom and wide-open spaces than usual.

Farmers actually need a happy life, with no problems....this is actually what they dream

Bits and bytes are the basic building blocks of memory.

Volleyball digging is essential for having a successful defense. The job of a volleyball digger is to prevent the ball from hitting the floor after being spiked by the opposing team. To dig, the volleyball players must anticipate the spike and be prepared to quickly dive in any direction.

A very effective way of controlling air pollution is by diluting the air pollutants. The last and the best way of reducing the ill effects of air pollution is tree plantation. Plants and trees reduce a large number of pollutants in the air.

Plastic waste.

The soil particles carried by water from the source of supply.

(a) Respiration and combustion

(b) Glycolysis and Krebs cycle

(c) Aerobic respiration and fermentation

A compound called Ethidium Bromide stains DNA, which on irradiating with UltraViolet, fluoresce and gives orange light. Hence, DNA fragments appear as orange band in the presence of Ethidium Bromide and UV.

In a gene cloning experiment, first a recombinant DNA molecule is constructed, where the gene of interest is ligated to the vector, [The step would not be affected] and introduced inside the host cell (transformation). Since, not all the cells get transformed with the recombinant/plasmid DNA, in the absence of selectable marker, it will be difficult to distinguish between transformants and non-transformant, because role of selectable marker is in the selection of transformants.

No, a pension account cannot be opened in any branch of any bank. There is a list of public sector and private sector banks in each State in which a pension account may be opened. For latest information about the list please visit the website of Central Pension Accounting Office,

The reasons are as follows:

 (i) DNA sample that was loaded on the gel may have got contaminated with nuclease (exo-or endo-or both) and completely degraded. 

 (ii) Electrodes were put in opposite orientation in the gel assembly that is anode towards the wells (where DNA sample is loaded). Since DNA molecules are negatively charged, they move towards anode and hence move out of the gel instead of moving into the matrix of gel.  

(iii) Ethidium bromide was not added at all or was not added in sufficient concentration and DNA was not visible

b) The study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs 

In case of liver disorders accompanied by a decline in micro somal enzyme activity the duration of action of some drugs is Enlarged.

c) Hydrolysis 

d) Distribution of drugs in the organism 

Acetylation processes proceeds in the second phase of bio transformation.

b) Time of drug absorption

d) Less lipid soluble

a) Renal tubules 

b) Transformation of substances due to oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis

d) Hydrophilic substances 

d) All of the above

[Hint : Phenol. (0.2% solution antiseptic and 1% solution disinfectant)]

[Hint : Compound (i) acts as a surface agent because its one end is hydrophobic while the other end is hydrophilic in nature.]

[Hint : (i) Those in which cationic part of the molecule is involved in cleansing action. E.g., cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide.
(ii) Those in which anionic part of the molecule is involved in cleansing
action. E.g., sodium laurylsulphate.
(iii) Which do not contain any ion in their constitution. E.g., Lauryl alcohol ethoxylate.]

Most drugs when taken in doses higher than recommended may cause harmful effects and
sometimes, may even lead to death. Hence, a doctor should always be consulted before
taking any medicine.
