SCAN WITHOUT SCANNER ??? ! ! ! ...

Dear Professionals, can you imagine scan a document without a scanner? You may not believe, Yes you can… now, with the help of your digital Camera? Still you not believe. Let us see how? Till now we are utilizing our Digital camera for taking photographs and some other purpose. Other than taking photos you can also scan your documents, photographs, Books, White and Black boards, your visiting cards, what ever the image you have in your digital camera. All you need it one software i.e. Snapter, is a software that will help you use a digital camera as a mobile scanner. This software automatically crops, stretches, flattens, and converts photos of documents, whiteboards, posters, business cards and receipts into more portable images. Wherever you are, either in Conference, Class room or in Library just take a snap and run it through the Snapter, images looks like as been scanned through the flat bed scanner.
Software free versions also available. But for the first 14 days it will work. After that also it will work in functional, but it will add light watermark on your images. If it is not good enough for your documents, then you have to buy software. Visit
http://www.atiz.com/buy/ . Free version is also good enough for you. Now let me ask is it believable? or not? Now you imagine when you are in friends house, if you find any book or magazine wishing to scan it and save it for later. On the spot, is it possible to bring any scanner and make scan? It is not. Take out your digital camera or your digital mobile wave it and run the image through the OCR Software and save it. To down load visit http://snapter.atiz.com/ .
Enjoy the images.
Thank you.

UGC JRF = entry-level IAS

UGC decided to increase the scholarship amount for JRF by 35 to 40%.
Now researchers get money almost equivalent to basic pay of Rs 20,800 per month — of entry-level Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officials and assistant professors.

UGC also decided to hike scholarships for women pursuing post-doctoral fellowship by about four times.
Now women without research experience will get Rs 25,000 (which was Rs 6,000 earlier) while those with experience will get Rs 30,000 per month as against Rs 8,000 earlier.
The commission, earlier this month, decided that junior research scholars will now get Rs 16,000 per month (Rs 12,000 earlier) for first two years and Rs 20,000 (Rs 14,000 earlier) for the next three years.
The physically challenged researchers will get an escort allowance of Rs 2,000 per month along with the scholarship.“The scholarship amount has been enhanced so that scholars don’t leave mid-day to join teaching,” UGC chairperson Sukhdeo Thorat said.
The new amount of scholorship to be available to 6,500 researchers every year (doubled as compared to last year) — will be applicable from the new academic year 2009-10.
Only students who have cleared the National Eligibility Test will be eligible for the scholarships. The proposal to enhance the scholarship was taken after a recommendation by RP Aggarwal, Higher Education Secretary in the HRD ministry. “The fellowship amount should be increased to 50 per cent subject to the condition that it is less than initial pay for a fresh appointee as assistant professor,” Aggarwal had told UGC in letter on July 30.
With this, the UGC is looking to meet the demand for faculty with requisite research credentials and PhD degrees.
