Re: [AI] Need your assistance
I feel no one could connect the mental capabilities with the physical possibilities. In Bangalore, for instance, there are about 750 traffic accidents a year, many of them are fatal. The fact is, all of them are involving persons with fantastic sight and none of them involve either low vision or blind. Of course people immediately point out none of the blind persons or low vision persons drive, but my question is why should persons with good eye sight should die in traffic accidents? The fact here is not about sight, but about seeing. People who can physically see need not have the mental agility to observe and react, while persons who cannot see take precautions to observe and react even though they cannot see. This suggests not having vision makes a person more careful and sensitive to the environment than the others. So physical possibility of being observant, careful and focused are natural traights that come with blindness. This is what many figure out as intelligence, but without connecting them. As a result, while they believe we are intelligent, they cannot think this would directly impact the way we live. Also, this is an example of how certain ideas are so strongly ingrained in people that it is harder to change. Most people are made to think and believe that a person who ccan't see needs help, is usually dumb (about his environment and surrounding), physically indefensible and has to be cared for and pitied over. This, as people grow up, becomes part of their thought process and shows up each time they deal with a blind person.

[AI] When MBAs aspire to become clerks
Members of the list appearing for bank exams may have noticed how competitive they have become. This article illustrates why. It also talks about the unemployability of a good many of the graduates that our educational system produces. Geetha When MBAs aspire to become clerks November 12, 2009 11:19 IST There are 300 applicants for each clerical post at SBI [ Get Quote ], mostly engineers/MBAs, for a job that just requires a Class 12 qualification, says Shyamal Majumdar. The server of State Bank of India (SBI) crashed last year when two million candidates applied for 20,000 clerical posts. The written examination had to be conducted over four shifts as the bank just could not find enough venues where the tests could be held. A year on, the country's largest bank faces an even bigger dilemma. It has 11,000 clerical posts on offer, but has received 3.4 million applications. That's about 300 applications for every vacancy. SBI is conducting the entrance test on three Sundays, in two sessions (morning and afternoon) across 83 centres. The exercise is estimated to cost at least Rs 65 crore (Rs 650 million), which will be taken care of by the money obtained from application fee. SBI needs the clerks for its ambitious branch expansion programme. The bank can afford the luxury of being extremely choosy - a vast majority of the candidates who have applied for the Rs 8,000-a-month job are engineering graduates and MBAs, even though the job specified only Class 12 as minimum qualification criterion. It's not that there aren't enough suitable jobs for good-quality engineers and MBAs. There are countless stories of how leading Indian companies are visiting engineering and MBA colleges in interior parts of the country to add to their basket of employable graduates but are returning empty-handed. The main problem is that of employability. Studies have indicated that only one in four graduates from India's colleges is employable. A Nasscom study found that India still produces plenty of engineers - 400,000 a year. But most are deficient in the required technical skills, fluency in English or ability to work in a team and deliver basic oral presentations. As a result, those engineers or MBAs who manage to become SBI clerks may still consider themselves lucky. Listen to what Sandip Mukherjee (name changed) - he is an engineering graduate from one of the middle-rung private institutes in Kolkata [ Images ] - has to say. He came to Navi Mumbai [ Images ] to join a windmill company which has its headquarters in Europe. The quality of the job, however, he says, was only slightly better than that of a security guard. Mukherjee, who was lucky enough to find another job within four months, says his ex-boss had asked him to prepare a project report on the security system in the company's godowns. Apparently, the company suspected that a lot of pilferage was taking place in one of its godowns. The engineer was asked to station himself in the security office to figure out the lacunae in the system. One of his observations was that some people left the godown unchecked during lunch hour when the security guard would go to the canteen to bring food. Impressed with this finding, the boss then asked him to find out whether this was happening during tea break or at dinner time also, or whether the security guards went to the toilet often, leaving the gate unmanned. I didn't pursue engineering to observe people's tea and toilet habits, Mukherjee wrote in his resignation letter. Companies say this mismatch between qualification and quality of job is inevitable in a country where everybody and his uncle is either an engineer or an MBA. The quality of teaching in most of the second-rung institutes is poor and companies often have to pay through the nose to train them. Indian Institute of Technology alumni have repeatedly expressed serious concern over the mushrooming of engineering colleges that are being run as business ventures by contractors, builders, coal dealers, brick-kiln owners and sweetmeat sellers. In Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] alone, 250 such engineering colleges have come up in the last decade with an intake of about 60,000 students. Two years ago, an assessment of the country's higher education system by the University Grants Commission (UGC) found that as many as 25 per cent faculty positions in universities remained vacant; 57 per cent teachers in colleges did not have either an M Phil or PhD; and there was only one computer for 229 students, on an average, in colleges. The assessment was conducted on 123 universities and 2,956 colleges across India - an estimated 60 per cent of these institutions were private, the rest government-run. Now, look at a couple of rungs further down in the job market pyramid. India's vocational training institutes produce six million students every year. That's a minuscule number considering that an estimated 88.5 million people in the

Re: [AI] How to get back a permanent deleted mail?
If you deleted the message via outlook express or windows mail, then it is possible that your message could have reached trash and you could simply perform a search and recover the deleted message. However if you have deleted from the trash, then I am afraid that the message is lost for ever. In any case if I were you, I would just perform a mail search to see if the message could be some how found. Vetri.

BitLocker To Go Encrypts Portable Flash Drives in Windows 7 The BitLocker feature was introduced in Windows Vista and allowed you to encrypt the content of your hard drive.

Next you will be prompted to store the recovery key which is used in the event you lose your password or smartcard. If you store it as a file make sure that it is not on the same drive that you’re encrypting. After the key has been saved as a file or printed you will see a confirmation message.
