നമ്മുടെ കുട്ടികള്‍ വഴി തെറ്റി പോവാതിരിക്കാനായി പാരന്റല്‍ കണ്ട്രോള്‍ സോഫ്റ്റ്‌വെയര്‍
ദിവസവും ഫേസ്ബുക്കിലുടെ പലരും ചോദിക്കുന്ന കാര്യം ആണ് വീട്ടിലെ കുട്ടികള്‍ ഇന്റര്‍ നെറ്റിലുടെ അശ്ലീല സൈറ്റുകളില്‍ എത്താതിരിക്കാന്‍ എന്ത് ചെയ്യാന്‍ പറ്റും എന്ന്. നമ്മള്‍ ഏതൊക്കെ രീതിയില്‍ ബ്ലോക്ക് ചെയ്തു വച്ചാലും അതെല്ലാം പൊളിച്ചടുക്കാന്‍ മിടുക്കര്‍ ആണ് ഇന്നത്തെ പിള്ളേര്‍ . നമ്മളെക്കാള്‍ അറിവ് അവര്‍ക്കായിരിക്കും കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിന്റെ കാര്യത്തില്‍ . കുട്ടികള്‍ വഴി തെറ്റുന്നത് തടയാന്‍ Parental Control Software എന്ന പേരില്‍ നിറയെ സോഫ്റ്റ്‌വെയറുകള്‍ നെറ്റില്‍ കിട്ടാനുണ്ട്. അതില്‍ നല്ലത് എന്ന് തോന്നിയ ചില സോഫ്റ്റ് വെയറുകള്‍ ഇവിടെ പരിചയപ്പെടുത്താം. ചിലതെല്ലാം കാശ് കൊടുത്തു വാങ്ങേണ്ടവയാണ് എന്നിരുന്നാലും നമ്മുടെ കുട്ടികളുടെ കാര്യത്തിനു ആയതു കൊണ്ട് കുറച്ചു കാശ് മുടക്കുന്നത് തന്നെയാ നല്ലത്.

Net Nanny
40 യു എസ് ഡോളര്‍ വില വരുന്നുണ്ട് ഇതിന്റെ വില. ഇവിടെ ക്ലിക്ക് ചെയ്തു ഡൌണ്‍ ലോഡ് ചെയ്യാം.
k9 web protection ഇത് ഫ്രീ ആയി തന്നെ ഡൌണ്‍ ലോഡ് ചെയ്യാം. ഫ്രീ ആയി ഡൌണ്‍ ലോഡ് ചെയ്യാന്‍ ഇവിടെ ക്ലിക്ക് ചെയ്‌തോളു.
ഗൂഗിള്‍ വഴിയെല്ലാം സേര്‍ച്ച് ചെയ്യുമ്പോള്‍ കുട്ടികള്‍ അറിയാതെ അനാവശ്യ വെബ് സൈറ്റുകളിലേക്ക് എത്തി പെടാതിരിക്കാനും വളരെ നല്ലതാണ് ഇത്.
ഇത്രയൊക്കെ ആണെങ്കിലും കുട്ടികളുടെ ഉള്ളം കയ്യില്‍ ഒതുങ്ങുന്ന മൊബൈലില്‍ അവര്‍ക്ക്‌ ആവശ്യമുള്ളതെലാം കിട്ടുന്നുണ്ട്. കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് മൊബൈല്‍ വാങ്ങിച്ചു കൊടുക്കുമ്പോള്‍ ഈ കാര്യം കൂടെ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുക. കഴിയുന്നതും കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് ഇന്റര്‍ നെറ്റും ക്യാമറയും എല്ലാം ഉള്ള മൊബൈല്‍ വാങ്ങിച്ചു കൊടുക്കാതിരിക്കുക.

Ministry of Communications and lT
Department of Posts

New Delhi-11001 ,
Dated 18th April, 2014.
To
All Chief Postmasters General/ Postmasters General.
Subject:-
Filling up the vacancies in Higher Selection Grade-t (HSG.I) in Post
Offices (POs) and Railway Mail Service (RMS) Offices- Reg.
Sir/Madam,
I am directed to say
that the existing Recruitment Rules in brief provide to fill up the
posts of Higher Selection Grade-l (HSG.l) in Post Offices (POs) and
Railway Mail Service (RMS) Offices in postal Circles as under:-
i. HSG.I in POs: (i) The existing Recruitment Rules, 1976 of HSG.I in POs and amended
vide Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 1980 provide for filling up
(a) promotion from HSG.ll General line officials with three years regular ervice and
(b) promotion from
Assistant Superintendent of Post Offices with two years regular service,
in the ratio of 50.50 - odd post exsting on the date preceding the
Recruitment (Amendment) Rules, 1980 going to general line,
(ii) All posts created after commencement of Recruitment (Amendment)
Rules, 1980 are to be filled up f promotion of HSG.ll official with three years regular service In the grade.
ll. HSG I in RMS
offices: The Recruitment Rules, 1976 initially provided for filling up
the posts of HSG.I in RMS offices by promotion of HSG.ll officials in
RMS offices with 3 years regular service in the grade, which were
further amended in the year 1993 as per which 43 out of 111 sanctioned
posts are earmarked for being filled up by promotion of Asstt. Supdt. of
Railway Mail Service (ASRM) with 3 years regular service,
2. Earlier
DOP&T had not allowed to fill up the. posts in HSG.I by promotion on
regular basis as they observed that (i) the posts of HSG-I and ASPO
carried same pay scale therefore, the promotion of ASPO to HSG-I was not
in order particularly, when they noted that the ASPOs, after their
promotion were permitted to go back to their parent cadre and (ii) the
RRs had become obsolete. Therefore, the Circles were advised not to fill
up the posts in HSG-I in Post Offices (POs) and Railway Mail Services
Offices (RMS Offices) by regular promotion pending amendment of the
Recruitment Rules (RRs) but subsequently allowed on more than one
occasion to fill up the posts in H$G-l in POs & RMS offices by
promotion of HSG. ll officials on adhoc basis.
3. The
Directorate initiated the process of amendment of the Recruitment Rules
of HSG-I in consultation with Department of, Personnel & Training
(DOP&T) and Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), In the meantime,
references had been received from various Circles explaining
difficulties being faced by them in the absence of filing up of the
posts in HSG-I or regular basis and continuation of ad-hoc arrangement
for past many years.
4. The matter
was taken up with DOP&T, bringing to their knowledge the
difficulties being faced by the Circles in the absence of regular
incumbents and also the concern of such officials who could not be
promoted on regular basis. Thus, DOP&T was requested to allow this
Department to fill up the posts of HSG-I on regular basis. DOP&T
have now opined that the promotions may be made on the basis of the
existing RRs. However, the DOP&T has not clarified as to whether the
ASPOs could be 'promoted' to HSG-I, for which a separate reference is
being made to DOP&T. Pending the same, the Circles ale advised tg
proceed further in holding the DPC for promotion of HSG-ll Officials in
Post Offices and RMS Offices only to FISG-I on regular basis as per the
provisions of the RRs.
5. The Circles
are advised to convene the DPCs for promotion to HSG-I on regular basis
latest by 30.04.2013 and issue the promotion orders by 06.05.2013.
Thereafter, a report may be furnished to the Directorate by Fax to Shri
Raj Kumar, Director (Staff (Fax No 23096103) by 10.05.2013 intimating
the completion of the said exercise and number of officials thus
promoted to HSG-I and the number of posts remained vacant if any, for
want of eligible officials,
Yours faithfully,
(Alka Tewari)
Assistant Director General (SPN)

എഴുതിയത്: സി.പി. രാജശേഖരന്‍
ഹിന്ദുപുരാണങ്ങളില്‍
പുരുഷനെ സ്വാധീനിച്ച് കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ നടത്തിയിരുന്ന പ്രധാന ചില
ദേവനര്‍ത്തകിമാരുടെ പേരുകള്‍ അറിയാതെ ഇപ്പോള്‍ ഓര്‍ത്തുപോവുകയാണ്. പണ്ട്
ദേവാസുര ചരിത്രത്തിലും ധാരാളം സ്ഥാനാരോഹണങ്ങളും സ്ഥാനചലനങ്ങളും
നടന്നിട്ടുണ്ട്. ദേവന്മാരേയും അസുരന്മാരേയും അന്ന് ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതല്‍ വശം
കെടുത്തിയിരുന്നത് സ്ത്രീകളോടും അധികാരത്തോടും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന
മോഹവ്യാമോഹങ്ങള്‍ തന്നെയാണ്. കനകവും കാമിനിയും എല്ലാക്കാലത്തും
പുരുഷാധിപത്യത്തിന്റെ കള്ളത്താക്കോലുകളായി പ്രവര്‍ത്തിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ആ
കാലത്ത്, ദൈവീക ശക്തിക്കു പരമ പ്രാധാന്യം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന ആ കാലത്തുപോലും,
സ്ത്രീശക്തിയും അവളുടെ കുടിലബുദ്ധിയും ഭരണത്തേയും അധികാരത്തേയും
പണാധിപത്യത്തെയുമെല്ലാം അട്ടിമറിച്ച കഥകളാണ് പുരാണങ്ങളിലൂടെ നാം
വായിച്ചെടുത്തത്.
ദേവരാജാക്കളും അസുരന്മാരും അന്ന് ഭയപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നത് അവരേക്കാള്‍ ആര്‍ജ്ജവവും ഊര്‍ജ്ജവും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന മനഃശ്ശക്തിയേയും ആ മനഃശ്ശക്തിയ്ക്ക് ഉറവിടമായ തപശ്ശക്തിയേയുമാണ്. ഋഷികള്‍ക്കും മുനിമാര്‍ക്കും വശമായിരുന്ന തപശ്ശക്തിയും ജ്ഞാനദൃഷ്ടിയും ഈശ്വരന്മാര്‍ക്കുപോലും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. എന്നാല്‍ പുരാണകഥകളില്‍ നിന്ന് നാം ഊഹിച്ചെടുക്കേണ്ടത് അതായത് ദേവന്മാര്‍പോലും വിചാരിച്ചാല്‍ നടക്കാത്ത കാര്യങ്ങള്‍ തപസ്വാദ്ധ്യായികളായ മുനിമാര്‍ വിചാരിച്ചാല്‍ നടക്കുമായിരുന്നു. അസുരന്മാരെ തോല്‍പിക്കാന്‍ ദേവകള്‍ക്ക് ബുദ്ധി ഉപദേശിച്ചിരുന്നതും മഹാഋഷികളും മുനീശ്വരന്മാരുമായിരുന്നു. അതുകൊണ്ടു തന്നെ ഋഷികള്‍ക്കും താപസന്മാര്‍ക്കും അന്ന് നല്ല ഡിമാന്റായിരുന്നു. അവര്‍ ശപിച്ചാല്‍ ശപിച്ചതു തന്നെ, അനുഗ്രഹിച്ചാല്‍ അതും ഫലിയ്ക്കുന്ന കാലം, മാത്രമല്ല കായിക ശക്തിയുള്ള അസുരന്മാരേക്കാളും ദൈവികമായിക ശക്തിയുള്ള ദേവന്മാരേക്കാളും പ്രബലരായിരുന്നു, മന്ത്രശക്തികൊണ്ട് എല്ലാം നശിപ്പിയ്ക്കാനും പുനര്‍ജനിപ്പിയ്ക്കാനും കഴിവുണ്ടായിരുന്ന, ഋഷികളുടേയും മുനീശ്വരന്മാരുടേയും സ്ഥാനം. മാനുഷവംശത്തില്‍ വന്നുഭവിച്ച ഈശ്വരാവതാരങ്ങളായ രാജാക്കന്മാരും ഈ ഋഷികളെ ഭയക്കുകയും മാനിയ്ക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്നു.
അത്രകണ്ട് നിസ്തുലശക്തിയുണ്ടായിരുന്ന മുനിമാരേയും ഋഷീശ്വരന്മാരേയും നിഷ്പ്രഭരമാക്കാന്‍ അസുരന്മാര്‍ക്കോ ഈശ്വരന്മാര്‍ക്കോ കഴിയുമായിരുന്നില്ല. അത്തരം സന്ദര്‍ഭങ്ങളില്‍ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഋഷീശ്വരന്റെ ശക്തിയില്ലാതാക്കാനും അന്ന് ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരുന്ന ഒറ്റമൂലിയായിരുന്നു സുന്ദരികളായ അപ്‌സരസ്സുകളില്‍ ചിലര്‍. സ്ത്രീയുടെ മുമ്പില്‍ ഏത് ബ്രഹ്മചര്യവും സന്യാസവും തപശ്ശക്തിയുമെല്ലാം കെട്ടണഞ്ഞുപോയ ചരിത്രമാണ് എല്ലാ മതപുരാണങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്നും നാം വായിച്ചെടുത്തിട്ടുള്ളത്. വിശ്വാമിത്രന്‍, അംഗിരസ്സ്, അഗസ്തി തുടങ്ങിയ മുനീശ്വരന്മാരേയും, ഇന്ദ്രന്‍, ബ്രഹ്മാവ് തുടങ്ങിയ ദേവന്മാരേയും ഈ അപ്‌സരസ്ത്രീകള്‍ അക്കാലത്ത് കുറച്ചൊന്നുമല്ല മുതലാക്കിയിട്ടുള്ളത്. മറിച്ചും, ഈ സ്ത്രീകളെ വച്ച് അധികാരവും പ്രമാണിത്തവും പ്രതാപവും ഉണ്ടാക്കിയെടുക്കുകയും നിലനിര്‍ത്തുകയും ചെയ്ത ചരിത്രവും പഴയതാളുകളിലുണ്ട്.
ഇതാ പുരാണം കേരളത്തില്‍ ആവര്‍ത്തിയ്ക്കുന്നു. ഇവിടേയും അധികാരക്കസേരകള്‍ പിടിച്ചെടുക്കുവാനും പിഴുതെറിയുവാനും പലതരം സ്ത്രീ ‘രത്‌ന’ങ്ങളെ ഉപയോഗപ്പെടുത്താന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയതായി, സമീപകാല ചരിത്രവും വാര്‍ത്തകളും നമ്മോട് പറയുന്നു. പഴയകാല രംഭതിലോത്തമമാരും ഉര്‍വ്വശിമേനകമാരും ശപിയ്ക്കപ്പെട്ട് ഭൂമിയിലേക്ക് വന്നതായും പുരാണേതിഹാസങ്ങള്‍ സാക്ഷിപ്പെടുത്തുന്നുണ്ട്. അതായത് അവരുടെ സന്തതിപരമ്പരകള്‍ ഭൂമിയിലെ ഏറ്റവും ചെറിയ ഇടങ്ങളിലൊന്നായ കേരളത്തിലാണ് തെറിച്ചു വീണിട്ടുള്ളത് എന്ന് പുതിയ ചരിത്രവും നമ്മെ ബോധ്യപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. പെണ്ണിനെവച്ച് വിലപേശുകയും പെണ്ണിനെ മുന്നില്‍ നിര്‍ത്തി യുദ്ധം ചെയ്യുകയും പെണ്ണിന് വേണ്ടി കിട മത്സരം നടത്തുകയും പെണ്ണൊരുമ്പെട്ട് തന്നെ ചരിത്രവും, ഭൂമിശാസ്ത്രവും കിളച്ചു മറിയ്ക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നത് ഈ കൊച്ചുകേരളനാട്ടില്‍ ഇപ്പോള്‍ നിത്യസംഭവമായിരിയ്ക്കുന്നു.

The
supervisor would have to change this attitude towards people first. The
staff under him must be perceived as human beings with feelings and
needs. They are not autonomous within complex work machinery. One of the
greatest needs of to-days worker is to have a feeling that he is in

purpose in life and the need to a do a job well Most important is to sit
with each worker and chalk out common objectives and agreed norms to
achieve them . This gives workers a security as to what is expected of
them. When he has met his objectives he certainly has a feeling
achievement. This feeling of achievement is the greatest motivatior.
