Karnataka Medical Research Foundation

From an e-mail:

I AM EXTREMELY happy to inform you about the launch of my own Medical Research Organization, named KARNATAKA MEDICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION. It was officially launched on 4th Feb 2008, and brought to public notice through a press conference on 1st April 2008. We have now begun full scale operations.

The Foundation is established with the vision to carry out indigenously relevant medical research and establish a network to conduct transitional medical research. This foundation will also provide quality guidance and motivation for aspiring researchers particularly for medical students and basic life science students. Our foundation will focus on research required to evolve Health science pertinent to India. It is responsibility of every Indian to solve problems in our country and take it forward. Western countries, which we are dependent on will not help us solve our health problems unless it is of a gain to them.

I have established this foundation on ideology of true SOCIALISM and will follow the principles of HIND SWARAJ of Mahatma Gandhi.

I Invite you to visit our website http://kmrf.in and provide your valuable feedback.

THE STORY BEHIND

I conceived the idea of this foundation 1.5 years ago.Since then I have been establishing a base to begin this venture. With just 5 years of medical research experience on hand, i have taken a bold step to establish such a foundation at this young age. With a clear progressive vision and attitude I trust I would be successful in this venture. Set backs in medical research career, personal life and UG life pushed me to establish something new and different. Infact this had to be a reality 6-8 months back, but due to set back in personal life, the launch had been delayed. The anger against ruthless and inhuman globalisation policy of India (manmohan singh) and support to it by majority of educated India has partly fueled the ideology and mission behind this foundation.

I have a unique structure in place with very little democracy in the foundation.

Though launched to the scientific community in FEB i am bringing this to public notice including my family members now. Thus far, response from the scientific arena, government and peers have been positive. I have already secured valuable collaborations, internationally. I hope in years to come, we would be able to make significant contribution to health science and MOTHER INDIA.

Many thanks for all your support and encouragement thus far.

Perl script to change CVS Root in a directory tree

We moved our CVS to a different machine and our CVS Root thus changed. On Windows, if you use TortoiseCVS (at least), then it creates a CVS folder inside each folder of your repository and each of this CVS folders has a file called Root which has the CVS Root string. Now, I had to update each of these few hundred files with the new CVSROOT string. Perl (v5.8.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on my system) to the rescue:

use File::Find;
find(\&wanted, "$ARGV[0]");
sub wanted
{
if($_ eq 'Root')
{
open(fp,">" . $File::Find::dir . "/" . $_);
print ">" . $File::Find::dir . "/" . $_ . "\n";
print fp "$ARGV[1]";
close(fp);
}
}


Pass the base folder name as the first argument and the new CVSROOT as the second argument.
