Reprint KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION FOR COMPETITIVENESS IN "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives". – James Madison. The growth and equity have engaged the global intelligentsia through out the history of mankind culminating into major issues, schools theories and perspectives. The third dimension i.e., The Knowledge Dimension (more often spelt out as knowledge and innovation dimension) explicitly stated as a growth driver, a decade ago or so is triggering for a paradigm shift in our thinking. "Knowledge and Innovation for Competitiveness in The report acknowledges This study on Reprint sustainability with reference to growth and development. Never the less, the contents, policy guidelines and development imperatives spelt out in the report are useful to all policy makers, academics , researchers, business people and all others concerned world over. Academically speaking, the report fills the gap in research with regard to relations between micro economic inputs such as Health and Education and Macro Economic outputs such as Growth and Development in the domains of Global Political Economy. The Knowledge Initiative (so emphatically pursued in this bench marking report) by and large continues to percolate continuously into micro and macro issues and concerns of human life and society locally and globally. Let this review be concluded with the authors own words, "We hope that this volume will contribute to Brazil's efforts to analyze its strengths and weaknesses and chart an effective way forward, for itself and for other middle-income nations.

"I should continue to be grateful and thankful to so many" : February 06, 2009 : Friday Rajashekhar Devarai Write up inspired by Deborah Norville. The new Science of happiness and good health : Thank you is the operative phase/Deborah Norvill.- Readers Digest, February 2009, 50(2), 62-70pp. The write up is an extract from the Author's work : "Thank you power." It is so coincidental that I pick up Readers Digest Feb 2009 issue for a casual reading. I very well know how valuable it is to read RD as often and as regularly as possible. Thank you RD for introducing me to Deborah and there by couple of psychologist. I firmly believe that basically as an individual in society I have always valued the grace, the help, kind wishes, warm support, a lovely pat, a kind look and a timely advice (in the times that were hard to digest and face by the near and dear ones). I trust myself and I firmly believe that I have thanked all those kind and graceful people from time to time since my childhood. I am really proud of myself for being grateful to people who showed their concerns towards me directly and or indirectly. Ø How can I forget my parents who reared me up and dreamt big about me? Ø How can I forget my uncles and aunts who poured their unconditional love and affection towards me? Ø How can I forget my two grandma's who were overwhelmed just to see me and feed me all the time? Ø How can I forget my uncle who taught me swimming and what not. How can I forget that moment when I received a gift of new clothes that were brought from Gangtok by my uncle? Ø How can I forget my father patting me and even after failing miserably in the exams. Ø How can I forget my teachers who trusted me in advance. Ø How can I forget my friends who extended their helping hand in times of hardships. Ø How can I forget my teachers and friends who talked to me in english and made me speak english. Ø How can I list the people who cared me who supported me, who groomed me, who held me high, who treated me as one of them. … when actually I was no one? It is a futile attempt on my part to remember all those great soul who matter a lot for shaping my personality. The list is endless. The ideas expressed by Deborah are quite acceptable. Indeed the psychologist works cited in the write up viz David Patrik Columbia, Robert Emmons, Michael McCullough are valuable in this regard. According to Emmons, "gratitude is a demanding quality, a rigorous quality. It is a discipline, an exercise. According to Emmons gratitude may not come easily, but it can be developed in the following ways : Ø Record your Thanks Ø See the patterns Ø Catch the boomerang Ø Seize the moment Thank you Basava for giving me an opportunity to read papers like this, thank you ... for blessing me for making so many kind people around me. Thank you .... for gracing me to be grateful to you, my parents, my small family, my dear, dear and intimates, divine souls close to my heart and soul, my relatives, my friends my bosses and my colleagues. If at all I have impacted people around me, it is only because I have not left any stone unturned to thank them, respect them and revere them. If at all I am powerful it is only because I don't get tired in thanking. Bless me Basava/.......to keep me busy in thanking and respecting others.

February 3rd 2009 A reflection of a Librarian on "A matter of trust/Arun Maira.-Times of This educative centre page article by Management consultant Arun is educative and sensitizing. It is specially useful to commoners and non-finance-non economists to grasp a minimum of understanding about concepts like : recession, global meltdown, global slowdown, global meltdown etc. The much valued freedom that the business need, the extent of accountability and responsibility that is required of them towards government and society are well brought out in the paper. A reasonable and significant ethical level of conduct on the part of businessmen; transparency and required flexibility of rules and guidelines on the part of Government and a trust and belief of people towards both Government and Business work towards building sound global economies. As brought very well by Arun business which always wanted less and less interference by government, now wants their unquestioned and unlimited support both in terms of finance and moral backing. It is true, these troubled times need fundamental changes in the ways governments function, in the way businesses function and in the way people empower and trust governments and business. Are we all to move forward towards a disciplined flexibility and a reasonable balancer between freedom and equity. What do we think about this as librarians? Directly or indirectly, to a more or less extent we too are business, a different servicing business. Apart from asking more and more in terms of salaries and perks and of course budgets; we need to learn the economics of financing of the libraries, our duties and accountability towards all stake holders , I mean the institution we serve and the government and people at large. As librarians let us learn more and more lessons of being sensitive, responsible and accountability and lateral thinking, at these troubled and hopeless times. Shall we pledge to be out of the box, shall we restart ourselves to prove our social relevance and indispensability. We have come of age. Let us re-affirm ourselves, and continue our age old affinity with knowledge and its power. Rajashekhar Devarai Librarian blog : http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com
