Spain won the World Cup for the first time when they beat Netherlands 1-0 after extra-time thanks to a goal by midfielder Andres Iniesta.

This match is also remembered for the number of players booked for fouls committed. English referee Howard Webb showed 14 yellow cards (2 yellow cards to Heitinga) in a bruising encounter - a record for the final - and sent off Dutch defender John Heitinga  in extra time.

Netherlands had to play with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of extra time when John Heitinga was sent off for hauling down Iniesta on the edge of the box.
 
Moreover, Spain's 1-0 extra time victory over Netherlands in the World Cup final on Sunday left them with a probably unwanted record of the fewest goals ever scored by the winners of the tournament.

Spain scored just eight goals in their seven games in South Africa, three less than the previous record low of 11 -- shared by Italy in 1938 (four games), England in 1966 (six games) and Brazil in 1994 (seven games).
Spain also became the first team to win the World Cup after losing their opening match.


Now the final standing of the Countries in the World Cup is:
1. Spain
2. Neteherlands
3. Germany
4. Uruguay

  Germany rounded off an impressive World Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over a stubborn Uruguay on Saturday in a playoff for third place.


Furthermore this world cup is also remembered for lacklustre show of the stars like Rooney, Ronaldo, Kaka and the birth of new stars like Inestia, Forlan, Thomas Mueller, Robben, Sneijder etc.
Uruguay's Diego Forlan  won the best player of the tournament award. Forlan took 23.4 percent in the "Golden Ball" poll organised by world soccer body FIFA  and voted for by journalists. Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder was second with 21.8 percent and Spain's David Villa  third on 16.9 percent.

Mueller took the "Golden Boot" award given to the top scorer, using assists and number of minutes played as a tie-breaker. The German was also named Best Young Player.

As well as winning the World Cup, Spain also took the FIFA Fair Play Award. Their captain Iker Casillas won the "Golden Glove" prize for best goalkeeper.

Octopus Paul the Saint.

But the most dramatic thing is the prediction of the Octopus Paul. The oracle octopus correctly predicted Spain would win the World Cup by picking food out of a box with Spain's flag on it -- choosing it over the food in a Netherlands box.

Whole world will watch players like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Xavi Alonso, Dani Alves, Lucio, Nicolas Anelka, Samuel Eto, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Lukas Podolski etc. And Coaches like Diego Maradona, Dunga, Fabio Capello.
But we are missing players like David Bekham, Rio Ferdinand, Balack due to injury also.

This is the first World Cup that does not include any teams that are qualifying for the first time, although two of the qualifiers (Slovakia and Serbia) have previously appeared only as parts of former competing nations. Slovakia was previously part of Czechoslovakia, and Serbia has competed as part of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.

The opening cermony will be held on 11 June,2010. And after that first game will be played between
host South Africa and Mexico and second game will be between Uruguay and France.

With the start of the first game of  'Bafna Bafna'(nick name of South African Team), it will signal the beginning of what many hope to be the opportunity for not only South Africa but Africa as a whole.
Long seen as the poorest cousin in the world, hosting the biggest sports event in the world illustrates just how far the 'dark continent' has come.

National Advisory Council (NAC) is likely to be reconstituted with a constellation of individuals with formidable reputations to steer the social agenda of UPA's 2nd Term.

NAC , headed by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi , will retain four members from previous NAC - Aruna Roy, Jean Dreze, NC Saxena and AK Shiva Kumar.

And the six new members will be - Agriculture scientist MS Swaminathan , Madhab Gadgil, coordinator of social security at NGO SEWA Mirai Chatterjee, Muslim civil rights activist Farah Naqvi , Planning Commission member and economist Narendra Jadhav, technocrat V Krishnamurthy , Dilip Joshi and former IAS officer and social activist, Harsh Mander.

• M S Swaminathan       AGRICULTURE
• Harsh Mander             PROPONENT OF BILL AGAINST COMMUNAL VIOLENCE
• Farha Naqvi               MINORITIES AND EDUCATION

Now 5 days are left. Every candidate has some planning for that.
There are some general guidelines to be followed:

• Never learn new things during these days as they will confuse  .
• Try to take min. 6 hrs sleep daily.
• Drink plenty of water daily.
• Made adequate enquiry about your centre of exam. If possible take prinout of the map from google maps.
• On the day of exam take a bottle of water with glucose.
• Always check your UPSC admit card before leaving for the exam.
• Also you must have 2 pencils (HB) , rubber, sharpner and two ball point pens.
• Make arrangements of your lunch as at some places market are very far away. And it is not advisable not to eat during the break.
• As the questions in the Preliminary examination are objective in nature, intelligent guesswork may be used to answer questions when you don’t know the precise answer. While solving the paper you may take three rounds. In the first round solve the easy questions. In the second round may be taken up statement and reason. The third round can have the tough questions where the intelligent guesswork may be applied.
• Just keep in mind that the exam has negative marking, so if you do not know about the question at all try to avoid that qustion for the last. Try Law of elimination and still no clue are there then completely avoid that question. 
• Avoid discussion on the previous paper during the break. Just give yourself ample time to rejuvinate for the next paper.

And in the last Best of Luck for the Exam.

Aadhaar

The ambitious Unique Identity Project of Indian Government is rechristened as "Aadhaar" on Monday, 26 April, 2010.

In this project all citizens will get a unique 16-digit identity number. This project is headed by Nandan Nilkeni (Infosys fame) with Unique Identification Authority as the concerned authority.

The new logo, with a sun in yellow and a fingerprint in the centre, was also made public at a seminar organised by the UIDAI here.

UIDAI Director General R S Sharma said the first 16 digit number would be rolled out by February next year.

Nilekani said the project was aimed at the under privileged and the poor who are left out of the government's social schemes because of lack of identity proof.

R Chandra Shekhar, Secretary, Department of Information Technology, said, "AADHAAR is the first identity project which is aiming at the poor and marginalised. Earlier all such schemes use to cater only to security but AADHAAR caters to both."
