Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

UPLOADING PRINT MEDIA JOB ADVTS

(Dated 27-11-05)

Abhi

Naukri.com's

"Jobs In Print" Service

Deccan Herald — 117 (26 Oct to 25 Nov) (email ID avl.)

Indian Express — NO display

It is quite possible that thousands of jobs getting published in print-media (Newspapers), never get uploaded on job-sites. (Except Times of India $\rightarrow$ Timesjobs).

And very few copies of leading METRO newspapers manage to reach medium/small towns. And those copies that do find their way to small towns, reach homes of people who are NOT looking for jobs!

This means, these jobs remain "inaccessible" to small-town jobseekers!

This is what makes such (print-media) jobs, a "SCARCE CONTENT"

("Killer Content" by Mai Lan Tomsen).

According to author Mai Lan, it is

Such "scarce content" that differentiate successful from unsuccessful websites.

If your website offers a CONTENT that no other website offers, people will visit your site by thousands.

Apparently Naukri has realized this. But they seem to have tied up (so far), only with

  • Deccan Herald
  • Indian Express

Could it be that other major newspapers, publish/upload their print media job-adverts on their OWN sites? I don't know. But it can take oneday to find out! May be I will do it.

But, keep in mind that someday soon, we should create on IndiaRecruiter a page/form, called

"Job Post for Newspapers"

Where they can enter/upload jobs printed in their hardcopies. This feature/offer may even attract them to subscribe/register for JAS.

[URGENT]

(Abhi)

Pl. download—then try on any sample "resume" and see whether it is capable of generating a "NEW" version of same resume.

If it does, then we have hit a jackpot!

If it does, we will immediately pay-up $ 29.95 to upgrade to PREMIUM edition.

This can be a fantastic tool (if it works), in helping candidates WRITE (really REWRITE) their existing resumes!

Cut & Paste | Fraudulent students are pinching research papers from the net. There is even a paraphrasing software that edits a stolen paper to make it look different. Piali Banerjee reports

WORLD WIDE THESIS

A student term paper that was originally about the post-graduate student's paper on nanotubes was word perfect, except the thoughts were too good to be true. A few minutes and a Google search later, the truth emerged: the entire paper had been downloaded from a website. ... A part of a typical day in the age of teachers in the Information Age, when students have access to a few billion pages on the internet. Today, professors of university physics departments across Mumbai cite plagiarism as a growing problem as far as evaluating adoption. A professor of IIT Powai even estimates that "near-about 50 percent" plagiarised material directly from the internet for term papers/projects.

Julie Ryan of George Washington University cites a particularly potent personal experience of catching a student who plagiarized an entire term paper from the Internet. Finding the paper too sophisticated for the student, Ryan had done an AltaVista search hunting for similar language. It took only five minutes to find that the entire paper was taken word for word an online journal article by Ross Arson, a distinguished Californian university professor.

... It isn't only essays, even in a competitive environment like programming, cut-and-paste plagiarism is rampant. A final year project submitted by a computer science student in a Mumbai college recently had an exact match in a paper on the IIT Powai website. ... "Whenever I ask students to cite their views, they download reports from the internet," says Michelle Philip, head of department, English, at SIES college. ... "The biggest trap of all that professors have access to is the internet. Nowadays, before teaching a course, I access all related websites and information that students have about this for the reference. This makes it difficult for them to plagiarise."

Philip contacted a creative writing programme at Watson College, where, she says, "creativity is truly about hiding one's sources, because the once plays submitted as "original work" is now a stick to be written by students," she says. "We had to pay the author for a head of plagiarism." This year I asked the students to create one-act plays using scientific words," says Philip. "So they had to do original work."

Professors agree that the university's regulations and honor agreements that aren't generally available in the majority of our folks students to explain Kant's philosophies they'll find papers on-line on copy and will they need to them to compare two papers on Kant's philosophy... will copy in copies of the two papers along with their key pages-they'll have to write by themselves.

While many universities worldwide are trying to curb the detection of plagiarism and punish offenders severely, Indian colleges are still lenient. The maximum penalty is a reduction in grades or an oral before the plagiarised parts of the paper. "Our punishments aren't enough," says the students says professor Hemant Narwari, KK college. "However, the tears are at best too. We give lower grades to greedy to mess up the original, appeals them to stick plagiarised reports thus failing to encourage original writing."

Priti, a student who was to George Washington University exchange programme, talks about the anti-plagiarism rules in US colleges.

"Every assignment was run through a software to check the text of plagiarism, every time," she says. "Anyone who is plagiarising was suspended."

Some colleges also devise junior ways. Sharit Bhowmick, sociology professor, Bombay University, for instance, recently received an MPhil thesis on education labour, for example. He asked the students to write all pages of the thesis in an effort to distance himself from his own writings.

Plagiarism from the internet cuts across all literary forms. Professors reveal that students download well-known poems from the Internet and submit these to colleges magazines as their contribution.

... Sometimes, they aren't so little known. A college magazine recently ran the poem, A Road-Side Life, submitted in a name a corner of tenderness soothing the pain, apparently authored by a student who was unaware that many of us have read it on the Net.

If technology offers cheating opportunities, it offers checks too. Detection software can beat sites like cheater.com that offer readymade term papers on various subjects. Plagiarism software can be easily used to check potentially plagiarised documents by analysing the syntax of sentence construction, language, and grammar. Source Document Analysis Software is another sophisticated weapon that checks the essays against documents on the Internet. Plagiarism detectors that were given on any words on our website, such as Source Document Analysis Software, developed at the University of California, Berkeley, is an internet service that detects plagiarism in computer programming.

On the other hand, there a tool which can paraphrase a nature, to make it look original. paraphrasing software is a different technique, the process is similar to cheating techniques that whose solution, professors say, doesn't lie in the checking, it lies in human integrity.
