............ i wanted a perfect ending.........!!!!!!!!!! Gilda Radner ......... http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/uncertainty

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity."
― Gilda Radner

Librarianship is a noble profession

Suma Chitnis’s M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture : A Sociological Narrative worth reading! A Review

Suma Chitnis’s M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture : A Sociological Narrative worth reading!

A Review

Rajashekhar Devarai

10/26/2011

This is a reflection of a practicing librarian on M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture delivered by sociologist Suma Chitnis at Cuttuck. Citation : Suma Chitnis/Lessons from the field (M.N.Srinivas Memorial lecture delivered at Indian Sociological Society Conference at Revenshaw University, Cuttack 02-12-2010), Sociological Bulletin 60(2), May-August 2011.

For over 15 years or so I have been a life member of Indian Sociological Society. I get news letters and Sociological bulletins regularly wherever I happen to be. Inspite of undoubted interest in the discipline of Sociology I opted to be a Librarian some 26 years ago. But my fascination for sociological imagination has not faded to this day. I would not read every thing that is published in Sociological Bulletin, but venture to read, glance atleast some papers now and then. So for long I have opted to call myself as a student of Sociology. My feed back to Sociology? Nothing except reading Sociology now and then and publishing two papers (reviews) on Sociology of Library profession.

Any way coming to the lecture delivered by Prof.Suma Chitnis I have heard of her as a Sociologist, as a researcher on, “Teaching as a profession.” Anyone coming closer to the studies on professions draws my attention and more so if it happens to be a sociologist. Prof.Ambarao Uplaonkar (Gulbarga) used to talk about professor Suma often.

Prof.Suma starts her lecture by acknowledging M.N.Srinivas as a profound scholar, an excellent researcher and a great teacher and mentor. Incidentally I happened to work on the bibliometrics and informetrics of writings / publications of Srinivas. It was my privilege to get a brief biography and list of papers and other publications personally from him. Unfortunately I could not communicate / send him a copy of the published paper. After retirement from active service the many an academician / academic administrator become more matured, contented and worth emulating. Hats off, at the age of 78 Suma delivered such a thought provoking personal and touching lecture. She has recalled her experiences as a researcher, Teacher and Administrator at Mumbai University, Tata Institute of Social Sceinces, SNDT and Tata Endowment. A life worth lived indeed. At the outset the lecture looks a narrative but deep down it is indeed an eye opener for younger sociologists and professionals. She is so frank, fair, energetic and simple in what she said. Hope I will make it to meet her once at Mumbai where she lives now. It is quite unfortunate that I happen to be at Bhubaneswar and could not make it to participate in the Indian Sociological Society Conference at Cuttack. I could have had the privilege to hear her lecture live. Hats off madam, be happy, keep lecturing for many more years. Jai Sociology.

Suma Chitnis's M.N.Srinivas Memorial Lecture : A Sociological Narrative worth reading!

A Review

Rajashekhar Devarai

10/26/2011

Any way coming to the lecture delivered by Prof.Suma Chitnis I have heard of her as a Sociologist, as a researcher on, "Teaching as a profession." Anyone coming closer to the studies on professions draws my attention and more so if it happens to be a sociologist. Prof.Ambarao Uplaonkar (Gulbarga) used to talk about professor Suma often.

Pass the CPC Exam

So you have completed your medical coding training. You have big plans to make a career in the medical coding field. Smart move! Your next step is to take either the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) exam or the Certified Coding Specialist-Physician Based (CCS-P) exam.

Tottering with Your Health

In order to develop a healthy lifestyle you must examine your relationship towards bad habits.

Then you must have the will and determination to make changes.
The key elements to instilling a healthy lifestyle are:

* avoiding smoking of any kind,
* curbing or cutting out alcohol consumption,
* following a daily exercise program,
* making healthy food choices, and
* practicing good sleeping habits.

Smoking is the most detrimental vice a person can have, because it has been proven to be one of America's leading causes of death. The U.S. Surgeon General, has determined that cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for heart disease and cancer.

There are certain measures which have been helpful in the aid to quit smoking. They are:

* nicotine chewing gum,
* nicotine skin patches,
* hypnosis,
* acupuncture,and
* relaxation methods such as yoga and meditation.

To date over fifty million Americans have quit. Set a specific day to quit and add yourself to this number.

A diet rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, protein, nutrients and plenty of water is what all of us should be eating. Unfortunately due to the enormous chains of fast food restaurants, clinical studies have determined that one in three adults in the United States is considered obese. Even more shocking is the fact that one out of every five children in the United States is overweight! According to a recent study published in the journal "Obesity": "86% of American adults will be overweight by the year 2030."

I was not born here but I am a Naturalized American Citizen. As many Naturalized Citizens often do, I intended to marry a girl from back home. When I wanted to get the K1 Visa for my Fiance and myself I tried it the hard way. I asked people in my neighborhood. I looked online, I tried to get information from non immigration-law attorneys. Then I seeked council with an immigration law attorney; then another one for a second opinion.

The Whole process was a Nightmare for me. I wish I had been better prepared for the situation, but unfortunately I was NOT. I eventually did not marry my fiancee. Not because of the K1 process but for other reasons completely :-( I can say however that this process brought further stress to our relationship… I want to save you that stress, trust me, I know it's not your fault that there is so little information out there.

Anyway, after all the knowledge I acquired regarding the K1 Visa; I thought to myself that people should be better informed about this K1 Visa Process. I've done my research over the years and am now able to guide you through better decisions in getting the right kit for your fiance visa.

knock 10 strokes off your game in two weeks

If you're anything like me you have endured the highs and lows of golf. You've had moments of elation coupled with moments of frustration so strong that you literally feel like crying.

A few years ago that's exactly what I was like. I had reached a stage with my golf that I couldn't break 100 and one horrific round showed a score of 110. At that stage I made a pact with myself - I either give it up all together or go all out to shoot par...

... in just 365 days...

The story of how I broke par in one year has been well documented throughout the world. It has become an internet golfing forum phenomenon as well as being featured in nearly every major golfing magazine and the golf sections of the newspapers. Todays Golfer - the largest circulation golf magazine in the UK - thought the story so incredible that they featured it twice and over a total of six full pages.

My book "Dream On" (inspired by the words of Sam Torrance who spoke to my playing partner about my challenge) has been the number one best selling golf book in the UK for months. It will be released in the US (and hopefully South Africa) in Spring and we are currently in negotiation with a major fiulm company about the film rights.

But "Dream On" is simply the story of the highs and lows of the year...

My intention was to chronicle the challenge in a hopefully entertaining fashion that can be enjoyed by golfers and non golfers alike. It is not a detailed break down of the techniques that I used to take these 33 strokes off...

Why You Need to Do a Background Check

You may think, like most of us, that your friends, family, and acquaintances are just who they say they are; but are they really? While it may seem less than optimistic to consider that your most trusted contacts may have alternate lives or past histories of negative behavior; it could very well be that they are deceiving you. This is why using a background check is so crucial.

So, let's say that you have no question in your mind that your friends, family members, and other acquaintances are on the up and up…but are you really? I mean, without running a background check, you can never be sure. Though it would be nice to be able to trust anyone who comes into your sphere of contacts-you have to always ensure that you are protecting yourself and your family from possible danger. You can better your chances for safety with a background check.

First, let's take a look at what exactly a background check. It sounds so official, expensive, and time consuming; but is it really? Well, it used to be, as it was used mainly by public sector institutions exclusively-like the police and court system-but with technology and use, a person wanting to get background information on a person, can do so in a matter of seconds; and all they need is a full name. As regards expense, depending on what resource you use to do a background check, locating this information can be much less of an expense than you might think, and just as qualitative as a company that offers the same amount of information for triple the price. Moreover, as regards time and energy trying to uncover background information on your own, using a reliable background check service to run your search saves an infinite amount of legwork traveling to criminal court jurisdictions and law enforcement institutions that have the information you need.

What kind of background information can you find from one of these background checks? It all depends on the resource you use to conduct your search with. At our site, http://www.backgroundcheck360.com, you can get a one stop comprehensive background check on an individual; so this means, you can reference all significant types of background information that would be vital to arm yourself with, such as:
Personal records (address history, phone numbers, alias/maiden names, social web search, date of birth, relatives, email addresses, spouses/roommates locators, etc)
Criminal history (state/nationwide criminal records check, arrests, warrants, convictions, incarcerations, felonies, misdemeanors, DUIs and criminal driving violations)
Court Records (civil filings, civil actions, bankruptcies, liens and judgments)
Property Records (owner titles, property information, phone numbers, mortgage records, house purchase/value, possible neighbors)

So, you save time, money, and energy; and find out what your contacts have really been up to. For all you know, they could have criminal histories, negative behavior, or not even be who they claim as an identity. While in many cases, a background check will come up with nothing on your friend, relative, or new acquaintance; for the possibility that it might; isn't it worth it-especially where the commitment takes only a couple seconds and is completely confidential? For your safety and that of your loved ones, it most definitely is.

Why I'm Enthusiastic About the Hair Loss Blueprint

There are a lot of extremely expensive hair restoration programs in the world today which promise almost magical cures with a few applications of some new patent salve or medical procedure. These chemicals seldom grow a single blade of hair on your scalp, instead damaging the follicles and draining your pocketbook until you finally give up in disgust and look elsewhere for a cure. Months of payments produce only temporary gains or none at all, and leave you with the same bald pate as before you tried the latest gimmick.

I always view new hair restoration ideas with a jaundiced eye, and it takes a lot of convincing before I'll believe that there's merit in a program. Sure, I've tried quite a few myself, but I never found the "miracle cure" for baldness – until now.

Probably, this new cure is working for me, and will work for you too, precisely because it isn't put out by some huge pharmaceutical company that has no interest in producing results, just teasing you along to extract months of payments from you. Instead, it's a program from a regular guy who has no interest in selling you ongoing doses of products.

The Hair Loss Blueprint is a one-time purchase – that's right, all you need to do to succeed is buy the Blueprint itself for $37, and then follow its recommendations as closely as possible, treating your hair with massages and inexpensive products you can buy at any grocery store. I was tired of spending endless amounts of money on ineffective cures, so the Hair Loss Blueprint's up-front approach grabbed my notice right away. I'm very glad that it did, and you will be, too.

Not only does the Hair Loss Blueprint really work to get your hair back – whether you're just seeing a receding hairline, or have been bald for years – but it does so with a minimum of expense for you! What you need to put into it is a little work, caring for your scalp, stimulating growth, and continuing the program while your hair grows back. Like most things that really work, it depends on you – and once you've tried it, you'll agree with me that the effort you put into the cure is worth it many times over.

Why Choose Renewable Wind Energy

Renewable wind energy is the fastest growing source of power of any renewable energy sources and technologies. With renewable wind energy, the flow of air turns wind turbines to create electricity. As the speed of the wind turning the turbines increases the amount of power the turbine produces increases as well. In areas where winds are strong, renewable wind energy is a smart choice for providing power to homes and businesses.

Even if you don't live in a windy area, you can still supplement your current electricity supply by utilizing renewable wind energy. The best part is by using do-it-yourself guides; even the least skilled handymen can build their own windmills and start using renewable wind energy to lower their electric bills each month. However, if you do live in a particularly windy area you can feasibly generate an abundance of electricity from renewable wind energy systems.

It is also conceivable to build several wind turbines to power your renewable wind energy system. Most of us have seen the pictures of the wind farms being built to supplement power to whole cities. This is a little much for a homestead, but even small dwellings can benefit from multiple smaller wind turbines. In many states, it is possible to sell the excess electricity you generate from your renewable wind energy system back to the utilities companies.

The very best part of integrating a renewable wind energy system into your home or business is the environmental impact. Renewable wind energy produces little to no pollution, no harmful greenhouse gases and no methane or carbon dioxide-which contribute to global warming. And of course the savings those homeowners can realize after their initial investment in renewable wind energy.

It is definitely worthwhile to learn more about renewable wind energy. By building your own wind turbines you can add needed dollars to your pocket and help the environment at the same time. Renewable wind energy. Free power from the wind. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

Who Are Your Neighbors, Anyway?

All of us have them-neighbors-that is. We borrow their lawn mowers, have our kids play together, and probably have them keep an eye on our houses when we are out of town; but do you really know your neighbors? While most of give our neighbors a trust and solidarity just out of proximity to them, few of us are really aware of who they are and what their background is. This could be dangerous for you and your family. How? Let's take a closer look, at why you need a background check on even the most seemingly harmless neighbors.

First, while you would probably hate to think that Sally from the neighborhood watch or Tim from your football bbqs is a criminal-or was-it's important to realize that everyone has to live somewhere-and this includes criminals. So, while they may seem to carry on just as normal as you and your family; this doesn't mean that they don't have dark pasts of criminal activity of varying designs.

Second, criminals come in two kinds: ones that have been caught and penalized and those who have been able to elude law enforcement and punishment-thus far. Both types could be living next door to you, and most often-recognizing them can be more complicated than you would think. Those released from prison or acquitted from a court case could-and probably do-have the same criminal intentions that made them commit whatever crime they committed in the first place. So, this said, they will probably do it again-and you could be their victim.

Third, criminals and people with treacherous pasts come in a wide variety of kinds. So, while you may have seen on tv that you should be wary of all men that live alone, and spend a lot of their time indoors-know that criminal history is not limited to this stereotype. In fact, many criminals know the stereotype, and in order to fly in under your radar; create lifestyles that look like your normal neighbors and friends.

Fourth, though you may wave hello on your way out in the morning, trade tools, or let your kids play at their houses; how much of their current and past information do you really know? For all you know that perfect family down the block, could be hiding a past of criminal activity-with or without the full knowledge and participation of all family members. So, Todd two houses down, could be a sex offender that wasn't charged or Jill from the next street over could have an alias. Most of us automatically offer our trust to people living in our neighborhoods for the simple fact that we know where they live; but that doesn't mean that they aren't potential or past criminals.

Lastly, while you may want to give unconditional trust to your neighbors-offer them personal information about your home, kids, and schedules; it is with the people closest to you, that you are taking this chance on. So, while hoping for a neighborhood of upright citizens and friends is nice; it is not realistic, and it is downright careless with that of your family and friends.

All these factors in mind, you probably think that running a background check takes too much time, money, or that your neighbors will find out. It doesn't. It used to be that background checks on individuals were expensive, took a few days, and a lot of energy-as they were used exclusively by law enforcement and criminal justice agencies. Today, there are services that merely require a full name and a couple seconds of your time, literally, to conduct a search for criminal background information on the neighbor of your choice. Our access service at http://www.backgroundcheck360.com offers one stop resource for running background checks on your neighbors, that is fully comprehensive to all sorts of information that would be important that you know about them. Inform yourself: you have no excuse not to: not money, energy, or time.

Who are Your Kids Hanging Out With?

Any idea who your kids are hanging out with? While you may think just by getting names and numbers, that you are safeguarding your kids-this is hardly enough to know who's company they are in and if they are safe. This is why using a background check is in your best interest-and also, that of your kids.

As parents, we all do our best to keep our kids away from bad influences-both young and old-but chances are, you may not be doing all that you can to this end. Why, you may wonder? There are two reasons: crime is rampant and we offer trust to our children's' associations too quickly and unequivocally. First, crime is a common occurrence in almost every community in America, and therefore, the odds of it touching you and/or someone you know is pretty good-at least in one shape or another. This said, it is preventable to a certain degree through the act of informing yourself of who is in your network of contacts-and most importantly, who's in your children's' contacts.

Friends
If you're children are of school age, the chances of their friends having criminal histories or anything negative in their past thus far, is pretty slim-but this is not to say that they do not have older friends who do have criminal histories. These could easily be kids a few years older than them, a neighborhood chum, or another contact that they spend a lot of time with. While you would hope that these older friends would have only the best interest of your child in mind, you can't always assume that they do. This is where performing a quick-it takes seconds-background check on these people, can allay any fears you may have about them; or find out the negative truth, and safeguard your kids from their company.

Mentors
Another kind of person that spends a lot of time with your children may be possible mentors. These could be other kids' parents, teachers, or friends' siblings that they look up to; but just because they look up to them, does not mean that you should trust them with your children's' safety and wellbeing. They could very well be murders, thieves, or sex offenders; and though you would hate to think it for a second, it is your child's wellbeing we are talking about-and therefore, safety before presumption should always be protocol.

Friends' Parents
If you are like every other parent on earth, there has been a time or thousands when you have had to trust that your child's friend's parent was on the up and up, and able to watch your child and keep them safe. Most of us require only an address, a phone number, and basic background details on the parents and home before allowing our kids to play there. While this should be enough to prevent any sort of danger for our children; it isn't, as even the most normal seeming parents' can have criminal backgrounds. This is where, again, running a comprehensive background check in a matter of seconds; saves you the health and wellbeing of your child.

We all strive to be the best parents we can be-to keep our children safe at all costs; but as is normal life-we cannot be there every second to prevent danger. With this in mind, we can greatly minimize its occurrence by conducting regular background checks on those spending time with our children. See for yourself: at http://www.backgroundcheck360.com, you can conduct an easy and comprehensive search for background information with just a full name. In seconds, you can reassure yourself of the safety of your children in other peoples' hands.

What to Know Before Purchasing Home Solar Electricity

Getting home solar electricity is more affordable today than 10 years ago. In fact, many state governments are currently offering tax rebates to persons that choose to convert to home solar electricity. If installing a photovoltaic system to supply your home solar electricity is too far out of your financial abilities, there are also programs available to purchase your utilities from an accredited green energy supplier. Green energy suppliers offer only utilities fueled by renewable resources, such as solar electricity, hydroelectricity and wind generated electricity. However, if you made the decision to switch to solar electricity for your home it is important to determine your electricity needs before you start shopping.

The first thing to determine is how much power you will need from your home solar electricity system. Different arrays and solar panel set-ups offer different wattage outputs. Take the time to determine your average daily electricity usage. You want to achieve a number that includes the entire year and affords for the different amount of energy used during winter and summer months (more lights, heaters, air conditioners).

When shopping for the right photovoltaic system to supply your home solar electricity definitely research the quality of the product. A product offering 13% efficiency and a lifetime warranty will be far more valuable than the panel offering 15% efficiency and a one-year warranty. Ask neighbors, friends and even strangers currently using home solar electricity, to learn more about the differences in systems. Sufficient time should also be spent interviewing installers and researching manufacturers as well.

A final decision needs to be made as to what kind of system you would like to use to supply your home solar electricity. There are generally three types of solar panel systems used to supply home solar electricity. The first type is a grid-tied system in which your solar panels are tied into your current power meter. You are using both electricity supplied by your panels and your supply is then backed by electricity from your electric company. The second available solar panel system for supplying home solar electricity is a grid-tie with battery backup. With this system you are collecting electricity from you panels, filling your batteries for emergencies and then the excess is sent back to the electric company through your meter. The final system is a stand-alone system. Very similar to the grid-tied system with battery backup except that you are completely disconnected or maybe never connected to a major utility provider for your area.

Once you educate yourself on providing your home solar electricity, you are probably ready to start shopping. Remember that converting to home solar electricity is an investment and you will reap the rewards over time. And don't forget the pride you will have with reducing your carbon footprint by converting to home solar electricity.

What is the Hair Loss Blueprint?

Just recently, browsing the Internet, I found mention of a new hair restoration guide called the Hair Loss Blueprint. As someone who has a personal interest in hair restoration products, and who wants to help out other people who are having problems with a receding hairline or out and out baldness, I decided to scrutinize this so-called "Blueprint" further. What I discovered was so impressive that I want to share it with you and all my other readers – because it may well be the key to transforming your life for the better!

You can start the Hair Loss Blueprint in the confidence that it actually produces the results advertised. Your hair will come in fairly thinly at first, but as the re-activation of your follicles takes hold, the hair growth will become denser and you will soon have a full head of hair in place of the combed wisps – or smooth pate – that you see in the mirror every day now.

You will need to get used to the idea that you have no ongoing purchases of medicine or office treatment from a doctor when you start the Blueprint plan. Everything you get from the author is received immediately, and it is then up to you to implement it. This guide is, in effect, a one time purchase, consisting of the advice and information that you need to carry out the natural, safe, and highly useful steps that will turn around your hair loss fast and effectively.

Since you don't need to keep buying products from the Blueprint's writer, this method is a lot thriftier than most of its competition. On top of that, it comes with a two month money back guarantee – if you don't see results within two months, then your purchase price will be refunded, assuming you've made a good faith attempt to use the advice contained in the guide.

It may seem hard to believe that you will not need to buy any extras other than a few simple ingredients from the grocery store to start growing abundant hair again, but that is the beauty of the Hair Loss Blueprint system. I highly recommend making use of it yourself, taking control of your own hair's future, and growing back your hair while saving plenty of money that would otherwise be used on futile chemical gimmicks.

What Causes Skin Moles?

Skin moles are growths on the skin, often round or oval-shaped with a dark color. The color may however vary to different shades. Some skin moles are flat while others are a bit raised from the skin.

A skin mole is caused by the melanocyte cells in the skin. These cells produce melanin and are responsible for the color of the skin, eyes and hair. It is formed when melanocyte cells do not spread thought the skin but grow in clusters.

Usually melanocyte cells grow normally and so the growth is usually benign. However in certain cases the melanocye cells may start to grow in an abnormal way, which may result in melanoma, a cancer of the skin.

Skin moles are very common. Most of them are present at birth while others appear as the person grows older. Some may also disappear with age. Their main causes depend mainly on:

- Heredity
- Exposure to sunlight
- Hormonal changes
- Age

They may become darker.

The principle reason for this is too much exposure to sunlight. Heavy exposure to sunlight during childhood and the teenage years highly increases the chances of developing new skin moles or that current ones increase in size. Sun beds and tanning saloons can also increase their growth.

Our genes determine many factors. If your parents have plenty of skin moles, probably you will have a lot too. Further more a history of skin cancer in your family also increases the risk that a mole may grow or develops into a cancerous growth.

Hormonal changes also make them to grow or new ones to appear. This may more commonly happen during pregnancy, the menopausal stage and during teenage years.

Generally as we get older, some tend to disappear.
