BBC NEWS | Education | Cambridge students 'plagiarising'
There is a need to re define the very idea of plagiarism. There was a time, just two or three years back when Wikipedia was considered a poor source of information. Now, again and again, we find that there are reports that the articles are virtually lifted from Wikipedia. When Wikipedia came into being, there was lot of criticism. It was promoted as a step towards democratization of knowledge.
In case of Google, when they came with the idea of print.google.com, they faced the cases in court. Now when they they have become books.google.com, they have settled the cases and even they had started with the idea of democratization of knoweldge and supported an economy which works along with free availability of information which could be converted into knowledge by the ability of the person who uses that information.
Now, this news report is referring to a problem in a centre of knowledge which is considered to be the ultimate temple of knowledge.(at least, for this blogger from India, it is like that. May be hangover from colonial period.). But I will again insist that there is need to review the availability of information through new technology. There is a need of new paradigms.

G-174 to bleed India (TOI)
India has 174 terror groups, Manipur alone has 40-India-The Times of India
It is quite an interesting report of Times of India. The Newsgroup has counted 174 terror groups in India covering eight states. In North, it is only Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, which are on the list. The rest of the states belongs to the seven sisters states of India.
It is quite an informative report. It is believed that it is comprehensive and near to complete list.

Reuters has a category of blasts identified with Assam blasts October 2008
CHRONOLOGY - Major attacks in India since 2003 | Top News | Reuters
The typical thing about this report is that it begins with the term that "some of the major blasts". It suggests that there is a category of blasts which had been maintained by the news agency and in light of the Assam blast it has found the list published as more relevant.
Surprising?

Playing Cyber Sherlock Holmes on R&AW
An article in The Tehelka on R&AW has appeared as a special report in the issue Vol 5, Issue 43, Saturday 1, Nov
ember 2008. It is highly damaging to the confidence of the citizens of the country if the report given in the article is true. The magazine can not be accused of demoralizing article. It is a reality which they have reported as a part of their duty. The R&AW department has remained in news in recent times for all the
wrong reasons. It is, I believe, the fortune of the wing as it is to be called, that general public do not have any perception about the existence and activities of this wing. But, the reputation which it has built by recent news reports is such that no organization could cherish such an image.There are many issues and aspects taken up in the article in the The Tehelka. One issue which attracted the attention of this blogger was the report that there is more detail available on Wikipedia than what is being denied through RTI. On a simple search on RAW, the assertion proved to be perfectly true. There is not only such information which could be called sensitive and detailed and exclusive, but there are enough references to show that they can be taken as authenticated.
The Wikipedia article on R&AW gives a good and comprehensive detail on the intelligence wing. The range and dimensions of the activities of R&AW as covered in the article is really amazing. No doubt, that the article in the Tehelka has not wrongly identified that the Wikipedia article is replete with more deeper information than what is being denied under RTI as may have been tried by the investigator of the magazine and Major General V K Singh. It seems that it is a true case. The use of aircrafts, the area of operations are such information which, I can imagine could have been denied in RTI but they are available there.
In the discussion section, one can locate that how the name of the R&AW was empahsised over and above the acronym RAW. It is surprising to see that in the Indian Media, one generally comes across the term RAW instead of R&AW. In the article of Wikipedia, the editors are very particular that R&AW is used in the titles of every section. Even the article in the Tehleka has used the title “RAW and Rudderless” and no where in the body of the article, the magazine has cared to use R&AW.
If the general public or any reader, who has read this post upto this point, does not find interest in it then he or she may try to remember the sexual harassment case of R&AW officer Nisha Bhatia before the office of PM. I am sure that it will raise the interest of the reader. Now when the country is over occupied with the stories about the MNS versus Biharis, and Bomb blasts, it may not interest them. However, if they just ask one question, that if the Bomb blasts continue to take place in the country and every time the link is either directed to Bangladesh or Pakistan then why do the country intelligence not put a check on them? If it interests the reader then, I take the privilege to continue to tell that this article directed my path on some research over internet. I have come across some of the exclusive posts and blogs on this aspect that it really becomes a web mole activity. Instead of giving my own version, I suggest that one should use http://www.images.google.com/ with the search term Ashok Chaturvedi, Nisha Bhatia, V. K. Sood, R. N. Kao and then some general search on Wikipedia on MI5, CIA, Mossad, ISI and finally same terms on Blogsearch.google.com. One may try technorati also. One has to show some patience then I assure you that you will enjoy working as a cyber Sherlock Holmes.
On the whole the result of the searches and the article of Tehelka are really disheartening.

Nursopotality should be given edge over Hospitality Industry
Cabinet panel nod for 19 new hotel management institutes-India-The Times of India
The Title is Cabinet panel nod for 19 new hotel management institutes-India-The Times of India
After the Jet Airways episode, in which, the government was exposed for its weak knees, now such a type of decision of the cabinet seems to be a crude joke.
The Airlines are definitely a part of Hospitality Industry. But, the Cabinet does not have considered different modalities which had already shown its glimpses.
The government should first learn about nursing the industry. It should first learn from some institute some Nursopotality.
BTW what is Nursopotality? OK forget it.

Lalaji, Read Hard Times by Thomas Hardy
Jet says sorry, takes back all sacked staff-India Business-Business-The Times of India
I have no enmity with Jet or Respectable Shri Naresh Goel. It is also not the question of the episode which had taken place with employees of Jet Airways in the name of rationalization and cost cutting in an corporate identity. The issues here are much more than Manager Accounts, Manager HR and Managing Director capabilities.
First of all, thanks to God that this nightmare of Jet airways employees had ended within 48 hours with its gravity accentuated to the level to which I believe that the whole country had become involved.
There are issues that how the corporate world need to respond to the changing economic scenario. There is need to decide some basic norms concerning employees and employers. The corporate world must understand that it had acquired existence only when some norms and systems were made to take some implicit and explicit places. It came to existence when some rules were established and kings and emperors had assured that they would be followed and the joint stock holders would be given protection. At that time, the employee did not have that status which today a skilled and educated employee holds. Today there are processes which a capitalist may buy but in order to run those processes in order to earn proft, he does not have any knowledge or capability. He should consider himself to be totally illiterate. However, he can make money only when the skilled workers rent his (yes I say rent it) or her skills to the corporate heads. The corporate does not have right of its might. It is now a collective responsibility to earn profit. If the heads know more economics then they better first reduce the bill of their own kitchen before hitting at the empoylees whom they recruit as per their own highly cerebral decision making capabilities. An the owners, who happen to have a lottery of becoming rich that they can speak english by pledging it to their dead emotional anchors, that they are mere card players and nothing more than that. It is luck and comedy that they have become rich and they should learn that they do not hold the worth the parking gate before a community built building.

RTI Commissioner Debits Penalty to the Salary Account of Disobedient
The Hindu News Update Service
A SAI officer, who took RTI lightly, was made to pay penalty out of his salary.
However, a question arises, how far is such a penalty justified? It has been adopted by Consumer Courts also. People are very enthusiastic at such judgements. However, there is a question of accountability on the part of all of us. How far we perform our duties nicely in capacity of our role in our organizations. On the other hand, as a citizen, how far do we perform are duties?
There is a need to reframe such type of punishments. It should not be only the dealing officer, but whole of the office should suffer it. Everybody should learn that they have to work as a team and perform as a team.
Any how, it is merely a view. Any Cyber naughty mole who visits here may join in comment section.

Nano Can be Ping Pong
Now Tatas face Congress wrath at Sanand over Nano project- Economy-The Sunday ET-Features-The Economic Times
The harrasment of Shri Ratan Tata is going too far.
TATA group has manufacturing facilities in China also. After meeting the two Ms he will not like to talk to the third M that is Madame Sonia. He is a business man and nothing can stop him from doing business.
The Indians will be foolish if they persist with such an approach. They did not care to object to the survitude for 1000 years when they were first conquered by Turks and then by Nordic race. Now when they are free, they are harrassing their own people ejecting from one place to other. They did not object when ethnic cleansing was carried out against Kashmiri Pandits but they find social issues every time some Indian tries to work on some sensible lines.
It will not be surprising if tomorrow it is announced that now the lakhtakia will be called Ping Pong and manufactured in China and sold in India at half the present rate. Glee.

Crime Investigation: A Mockery that can be played with Impunity
Back from the 'dead',missing techie surfaces after 3 months
What actually is the crime detection and reporting?
A DIG level officers lustily tells that how a criminal minded father took whiskey and then killed her daughter. The Media creates so much commotion when crime goes undetected.
Every TV Channel has a Crime related every day feature which it itself publicise.
However, now comes this report that how Meghna Subedar has come alive. When Her father showed doubt no body cared to listen him. Now, she is back. Even She has to do lot of explanation. In any case, Crime detection and investigation are not being treated rightly.
Now, this scientific reporting has further crippled it. The police officers now behave like half back MBBS who do not look at the patient but at the test reports and then shout at the peek of their ability that they are scientific.

Community Help In India
Alternate Heading: Sivojit Paul the youngest recipient of liver transplant in India.
The Liver transplant was carried on seven month Sivojit Paul in Kolkota at Apollo Indraprastha Hospital, which is to be the youngest recipient of liver transplant in India. Secondly, his operation is a case wherein social security was provided by community contribution to pay the expenses of the operation.
The operating surgeon was Subash Gupta. The child suffered from a condition called biliary atresia, a condition in which a duct linking the liver to the small intestine is missing. In case of the child, a surgery was carried out earlier wherein the link between the liver and small intestine was created. However, even then the liver was gradually destroyed. As a result, his bilirubin level continued to rise impairing the health of the child. Therefore, he required a liver transplant.
The transplant among children suffering from conditions like biliary atresia is generally carried out at the age of one year.
The donor in his case is Indrajit Paul. His mother is Munmun Paul.
The operation is important from another angle as the expenses of the operation was borne by community cooperation of Kolkotta. The Tabla Player Bickram Ghosh and Vocalist Lopmudra Mitra performed in Kolkata for raising funds for the operation of Sivojit Ghosh.
The youngest child to be operated upon for Liver Transplant condition was 19 days old but that operation was performed outside India.

Book Reading Climate!
Dan Abbe of Book Search Support Team of Books Google dot com believes that it is the warm climate of summer which is more appropriate time to read. He knows that in cosy environment inside the house during the winter can also be a good idea for reading. However, he finally believes that it is the summer which is the best time to read.
I quote,
“I do think summer is the best time to read a book. Some might say it would be winter, because you’re inside so much, but I’m not so sure about that. Something about heat makes it even more pleasant to read: coldness demands motion, or at least bundling up, but the paltry effort required to turn a page is suited to a warm day.”
Dan, Come to India in June/July months to Northern regions. You will learn about the right climate for reading. By sitting in Mountain View or region around that, you may enjoy the leisure ideas from Japan. But it was in India that Buddha got enlightenment and it was not in the summer season.

Bhajji suffers from Curse of Bhadon Pathar Chauth
Bhajji should apologise for Ravana act, says Akal Takht-India-The Times of India
Bhajan Singh, the cricket player had expressed his sincere desire some days back that he would try to shed his bad boy image. It showed as if the boy was really innocent and expressed his resolve with sincerity.
However, it seems that the controversies are not going to spare Bhajji of Jalandhar.
May be Jalandhar itself is a cursed place because as per mythology, the King Jalandhar, son of Samudra had once audaciously expressed morbid motives for which he was punished by Lord Shiva.
Secondly, there seems to be every possibility that Bhajji had seen Bhadon Pathar Chauth moon which was on September 3, 2008 this time. That can be the only reason. It seems that every year, he had been repeating that mistake. If it is true than it means that Bhajji is in habit of watching the moon. Why does this bachelor look at the Moon?
He must consult some astrologer. But no, even that is not allowed as per the tenets of his faith which he professes.
He should STOP LOOKING AT THE MOON.

You will smell something burning after reading the following.
Web contributors ''are attention seekers not altruistic'' - Health – Lifestyle – MSN India
Kindly read the above report. It is a small report and you would not have to spend much time to read.
You will start smelling something burning by the time you are done with the report.
Alas, even the Hewlett Packard is involved in such a type of activity. I am using their products. But I never knew that they can be in impolite activities.
Wikipedia is now having its own life. It is an idea which has come true. At one time, even I had criticized and doubted the authenticity of the contents. Even many people, who are established scholars, had done the same thing. But I believe now many of them are using it and adding to it without telling it to the world. They are not paid and MSN they do not mind.
I remember that how the MSN once roped in Aamir Khan with great fanfare on net to grab the attention of the netizens when Mangal Pandey had been released in order to promote their blog service. I believe, now Aamir has his own website with a blog on it.
When I started, I never cared to check how many people had visited me. By the way, do they have this as a right of monopoly to adopt the practices of a successful business and consider that ethics and morality have to be sincerely followed by others. And if others do not do that, they are the self proclaimed moral police. They believe that morality is for others and profits are for them.
Well, I can not write on it further as the clip on msn report is replaying itself and disturbing me.
It is indeed a Cyber Mole type of news. I think I should now state some aim for this blog.

The above report gives the detail that how Indian Military army had killed fifteen militants in high reaches of Chhamar Sar, nearly 15000 ft above sea level. Maj Gen VSS Goudhar, who headed the operation explained that they took benefit of the images provided by Google Earth.
It is pertinent to note here, that Ministry of Defence of Government of India has strongly objected to the images of the defence installations that could be accessed through Google Earth.
The moral of the story is that one should learn to absorb the technology. There is no benefit in showing opposition and reluctance. The right approach is learn it and absorb it to best use in your own field of activity.

Punjabi Concept of Management
The Hindu News Update Service
This report defies categorization. It is an alarming news. It is an amusing news. It is sight catching news.
The news has a background. It is now on record that for the last two years Punjab is not receiving the migrant labourers. The migrant labourers are vital to Punjab economy.
The Punjabi farmers had been adopting different methods to lure the migrants to their field. I remember that even regional English Newspaper like The Tribune always carried special report during Kharif and Rabi crop that how the Ludhiana Railway station was inundated by the Bihari Labourers. Gradually, the content changed. It started showing Punjabi Farmers standing at the Ludhiana Station to allure the Biharis to their field.
Now, last year, it was found that National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) had turned out to be a culprit. This year may be the floods will hold back many working hands. But, the Punjabis have some incentive to those who would come down to their fields for Rabi crops. They are being offered free Cell Phones. Now Bhaiya would be able to talk to Bhaiya Ranis to use the slangs of Punjabis. They had been earlier giving the incentives of free Bidies, Shekar, Tobacco pouches, and typical punjabi pass time and guessed it right the booze and poppy husks. Now, they are becoming technical also. I believe that it is not the real story. Any how, it is being issued by PTI and the secretary of Ministry of Rural Development is being quoted in the report. May be the secretary, probably from punjab, making it interesting for drab official meeting.
