Re: [AI] Land Rights for the Disabled
I have heard about cases in Karnataka where a blind girl marrying on her will was denied of her share in the parent's property and was told she wouldn't given anything. Because the husband was willing to give up any claim over the property, the girl didn't insist on getting her share. IAR (International Agency for Rehabilitation), who have recently started marriage counseling and a marriage bureau for the VH and those with other disability, know about this case, in case someone is interested.

Re: [AI] Documentary
Very true indeed. I always welcome a person trying to walk me through a place, even if I am extremely familiar with it, because otherwise, we won't be getting to know the person at all. Besides, in a place where we are the only person with disability, it's always better to behave normal -in the sense that we shouldn't be excluding ourselves from the rest of the people. Sometimes, those who come to help us become our good friends and even confidants.

However, this type of things seem commin all over the world. If it is about humorous things, oh, yes, I have a lot and they are all quite good. The ideea of a documentary on the point is really good, as long as it doesn't follow the general tendency of media to make hearts melt and eyes waterry. We, I think, have had enough of this. We are all aware of what we are and, sometimes, people's mentality, good or bad, is due to us also, we like it or not. It is our fault that, instead of explaining people how they can be more efficiant for us, we just become aggresive and do not even wish to communicate properly while we are offered for help. It is our fault that, even if not needed, we do not manage to accept a help which might make the one who is offerring it, happy and comfortable. Of course I do not mean to hurt anyone, but, the more we seet and protest against ignorance of society, without trying to understand that people can't know us as they simply haven't deel with such situations of having around a blind, the deeper the gap between blind and sighted would become. What about trying to understand this thing, like lack of knoledge, knoledge that we can bring by talking only and making things clear for the one who helps, educated or not, he or she has the right and maybe the wish to learn how to be useful. Of course, it might be embarracing, that is there, but for everything we have to pay a prise, and, the situation is that, we have to give it, in order to be understood and integrated properly.

Re: [AI] Land Rights for the Disabled
I don't think any act so far has any specific provision or reference regarding land rights of disabled persons. It will be appretiated if somebody from a legal background can interveen at this juncture.

[AI] Inputs on latest access tech and devices...
Dear friends, We have been offered an opportunity to make a presentation on the latest developments in access technologies and devices at an important global event coming up at Kochi in the first week of August, 2006. The presentation will be during an IT seminar conducted as part of the multi-day event. Since we are yet to receive the formal invite from the organisers, details like time available, other papers/speakers and the profile of the expected audience is as yet unclear, though opinion leaders from all walks of life in Kerala, including non-residents, are expected to be present with the attendant media glare. This is a good opportunity for us to not just create awareness about access technologies and gadgets, but, more importantly, send a clear message that visually challenged persons can be very productive and efficient and should be considered for employment in non-traditional areas also. Kerala, for all its literacy and good healthcare infrastructure, lags behind other states when it comes to providing equal opportunities to the visually impaired, both in terms of training and employment facilities and this event can hopefully trigger some developments in this direction. I would like to personally request each member of Access India to share with us whatever documents / presentations / web references they might have in their possession that would help us prepare the presentation. Updates on the status of various research initiatives into developing Indian language screen readers, OCR software, innovative devices (like those developed by Webel, Satvir etc), devices used by persons with multiple disabilities, etc would be highly appreciated. It would also be topical to provide some inputs on blind persons working in sun-rise sectors like IT, ITES etc or practising mainstream professions hitherto considered beyond the pale in non-metro locations in India, if such a list has been compiled. Please do not hold back your inputs assuming that I would be as updated as you are on the subject as a member of this august forum. (smile) Kindly send me your inputs at my email id, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ASAP. Credits will be duely given to original work by individuals / organisations at every stage. Looking forward to receiving your help and co-operation for this most significant task as yet handled by our little self-help group in Kerala, Thanks and regards R Sudhir M : 98 472 76 126 To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

This movie will not exceed five minutes. I am planning to divide this movie in two parts: The first part will be about how people tend to make blunders. For example when a friend of mine asked for assisstance to cross the road, a woman dragged him by his collar instead of allowing him to hold her arm. The second half will show the correct way to assisst etc. So I would like to hear of incidents which have taken place with any of you as it would be a great help to me.

Re: [AI] why do we need toolbars
Tool bars provide the functionality of the respective sites on top of Internet Explorer. For example, if you have the Google tool bar, you always have a google search box in Internet Explorer under the menus. The idea is that you can start searching from any site without going to the google site. The problem however is the lack of accessibility to these tool bars. I am not aware of any means to set focus to the tool bar and navigate through the available buttons. So, I don't use them. If I want, I can always go to the Google site and start searching.

Re: [AI] (ACCESSIBILITY: Hi-tech aid for blind on a roll)
has anyone downloaded Thunder and tried it out? Your comments please. George - Original Message - From: "Suresh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "accessindia" Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 10:05 PM Subject: [AI] (ACCESSIBILITY: Hi-tech aid for blind on a roll) Peterborough Today (UK) Friday, July 21, 2006 ACCESSIBILITY: Hi-tech aid for blind on a roll By Sarah Gunthardt A CITY company has successfully launched the world's first free-talking computer software - Thunder - which is likely to be a storming success for blind and partially sighted people worldwide. Thunder was launched by Screenreader.net, run by blind city couple Margaret and Roger Wilson-Hinds, from their home in Orton Wistow, Peterborough. The pair, who have been running Choice Technology, which specialises in products for blind and partially-sighted people since 1992, were runners-up in Peterborough Enterprise Centre's first-ever competition to find the region's Best Business Idea for 2006. They are delighted to have achieved their ambition to launch the software, which will help bring computers and the internet alive for the blind and partially-sighted. The Thunder screenreader turns a normal PC into a talking computer by reading out loud what's on screen. It will enable them to listen to internet sites, shop on-line, hear their e-mails and, with the software reading out to them as they type, they will be able to create letters and other documents with ease. Screenreader.net is a not-for-profit community interest company, which developed the software in partnership with Manchester-based Sensory Software Ltd. The software was launched at the Sight Village Exhibition in Birmingham this week. Mr Wilson-Hinds said: "At Screenreader.net, our mission is to deliver free talking software worldwide so that blind people everywhere can benefit from the computer, the web, and e-mails. "We see the talking computer as the modern Braille - providing a gateway to learning, work opportunities and a measure of financial freedom and independence." Thunder is set to create a real storm as talking computer software is currently available, but at a price, with the cheapest system, Windows Eyes costing about £380, and the most widely used system, JAWS, costing £800. Thunder is entirely free to individuals, with multi-user packages available to organisations for an annual subscription, which also includes training. Thunder has already received the backing of a number of organisations, including the National Blind Children's Society, the Royal Blind Society and New Zealand Association for the Blind. Chief executive of the Royal Blind Society Graham Booth said: "This is a simple, easy-to-use product that's going to bring huge benefits to blind people and greatly enhance their quality of life. "We wish Screenreader.net every success with this exciting and important venture."

Re: [AI] Documentary
Hello, I tried my best not to interfere, as I am from a different cultural background. However, this type of things seem commin all over the world. If it is about humorous things, oh, yes, I have a lot and they are all quite good. The ideea of a documentary on the point is really good, as long as it doesn't follow the general tendency of media to make hearts melt and eyes waterry. We, I think, have had enough of this. We are all aware of what we are and, sometimes, people's mentality, good or bad, is due to us also, we like it or not. It is our fault that, instead of explaining people how they can be more efficiant for us, we just become aggresive and do not even wish to communicate properly while we are offered for help. It is our fault that, even if not needed, we do not manage to accept a help which might make the one who is offerring it, happy and comfortable. Of course I do not mean to hurt anyone, but, the more we seet and protest against ignorance of society, without trying to understand that people can't know us as they simply haven't deel with such situations of having around a blind, the deeper the gap between blind and sighted would become. What about trying to understand this thing, like lack of knoledge, knoledge that we can bring by talking only and making things clear for the one who helps, educated or not, he or she has the right and maybe the wish to learn how to be useful. Of course, it might be embarracing, that is there, but for everything we have to pay a prise, and, the situation is that, we have to give it, in order to be understood and integrated properly. Apart of rights, we all have obligations towards the society, and, I think, opened and patient communication is one of them. Regards, Adina How about never?

[AI] Documentary
Hi Jatin, What about the following situation: 1. When you ask someone at the bus stop what bus is coming they invariably reply by asking where you want to go hardly ever do they reply with the bus number. sometimes you have to ask many times to get the correct answer. For women especially it isnt safe to let people know where they are going. Of course this point is useless unless you know where you want to go and the bus number. 2. What about when you go to a government office and the man you want to deal with insists that you sit somewhere far because you have a problem. Your escort is then asked what you want and the poor escort has to run between you and the man. The government official is being nice to you thinking that you cant stand because you are blind. The remedy is to stand right there and dont allow yourself to be led away. 3. I will end this mail with my most horrifying one about people being so kind that they arrange the cutlery on the table just when you have understood where the glass of water is kept. Jatin if you make this humerous you could do well at Malhar. I spent many happy hours at Malhar during college days and I am glad you are participating. I hope the other visually challenged friends are going to participate even those who are not at Xaviers. Make the documentary well and maybe one day you will go to the Oscars.

[AI] Wi-fi music player gets serious
Wi-fi music player gets serious Jul 25, 2006 A wi-fi music device developed for audiophiles will offer better audio output than CD players, says its maker. Transporter is being billed as the world's first network music player for lovers of pure sound. The $1,999 (£1,079) player is aimed at people who encode music using so-called lossless formats, such as Flac or Wav. Many people who rip their CDs onto a computer use formats such as MP3, AAC or WMA - all of which compress the audio, losing quality in the process. Digital music files stored on a computer can be streamed over a wi-fi network to Transporter, which plugs into an amplifer and speakers. Patrick Consson, from US manufacturer Slim Devices, said: "Audiophiles are investing a lot of money to rip their files at more than simple 128kbps MP3." He said many people did not realise what a compromise they were making when ripping CDs into formats such as MP3. "People have not been trained. MP3s are stuff you listen to at the gym. "Audiophiles do not see digital music as throwaway music - which is what digital music has become to some people." The strength of the Transporter lies in its digital to analogue converter (DAC), the chip which converts digital information into the analogue sound that emerges from an amplifier and speakers. Mr Consson said Transporter was using a "miracle DAC" typically found in devices costing up to $10,000. Slim Devices said Transporter's DAC is of a higher quality than those used even in expensive CD players, resulting in better audio performance. "We want people to take advantage of good file formats," he said. Flac and Wav are the favoured formats of many digital audiophiles because they retain all the information on a CD when converted or transferred into digital or non-physical form. There are also lossless version of WMA and iTunes also includes a loss encoder for making perfect digital copies of the songs on CDs. "The digital audio market is an evolutionary process. A good healthy chunk of our business is with audiophiles," said Mr Consson. Slim Devices' core product line is the Squeezebox, a $299 network wi-fi music player aimed at a developing mass market. "We have had one product for all seasons. We needed to better match our customers' needs. "Wireless music is not quite mass market. It has not taken off yet but the audiophile market has." Slim Devices estimates that 20% of its near 50,000 customers are audiophiles. "Transporter sounds better than most CD players. This surpasses even the most exotic CD player," he said. Ultimately, the quality of the sound the customer eventually hears will be determined by the amplifier and speakers being used. Mr Consson said: "Lessons we have learned with this product will trickle down to our mainstream products. "We are an audio company. We are audio geeks." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5212396.stm Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

[AI] Analysis: Microsoft Bets Big on Vista Security
Analysis: Microsoft Bets Big on Vista Security Monday, July 24, 2006 SAN FRANCISCO -- Microsoft's Vista developers can't catch a break these days. After years of warnings from security researchers that old code in Windows was creating security risks, the software giant decided to rewrite key parts of the operating system. The result? Last week, Symantec published a report suggesting that all of this new code will introduce new security problems. "The network stack in Windows Vista was rewritten from the ground up. In deciding to rewrite the stack, Microsoft has removed a large body of tried and tested code and replaced it," Symantec wrote, noting that it found vulnerabilities in the Windows Vista networking software. "Despite the claims of Microsoft developers, the Windows Vista network stack as it exists today is less stable than the earlier Windows XP stack," said Symantec after examining a beta release of the software. The two major hacker/security conferences of the year start next week in Las Vegas: Defcon and Black Hat USA . After years of being blamed for countless security problems, Microsoft may be in a no-win situation. "You get beaten up if you modify the old code; you get beaten up if you write new code," says Russ Cooper, a senior information security analyst at Cybertrust. "The historic complaint against Microsoft has been that their code is bloated with all this legacy stuff. Rewrite it, and now, 'this is too new; this is untested.'" The fact that Symantec was able to discover flaws in a beta release should not raise eyebrows, Cooper says. "There's a reason products are put into beta, and it isn't because people just want to see the default colors change," he says. If customers do not ultimately see Vista as a more secure product than its predecessor, however, it will be a disaster for Microsoft--on an epic scale. Over the past few years, the company has literally reinvented the way it produces software, instituting a new set of software development practices known as the Security Development Lifecycle. It has retrained developers, built a suite of automated security testing tools, and, most remarkably, invited scores of independent researchers to have unprecedented access to early versions of Vista. "Vista is really the first release of the operating system to go through our Security Development Lifecycle from beginning to end," says Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Security Technology unit. "That's fundamentally a different way of looking at building security into the platform." Microsoft has gone to great lengths to publicize its Security Development Lifecycle, which was used in the development of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and SQL Server 2005. Company executives say that the strict development guidelines used for XP SP2 played a big role in eliminating the widespread worm virus outbreaks that seemed so common just three years ago. The emphasis on security is perhaps best illustrated by an event that Microsoft executives have declined to discuss in detail: the recent slip in Vista's ship date. Last March, Microsoft grabbed headlines by announcing that Vista would not be available in time for the 2006 holiday shopping season, as expected. Microsoft never gave specific reasons for the miss, but it was a major setback for a product that had already been five years in the works. Microsoft immediately reorganized the Platforms and Services division responsible for the delay, putting a new executive, Steve Sinofsky, in charge of Windows development. Privately, several sources familiar with Vista's development say that concerns over Vista's security caused the widely publicized slip in the product's ship date. In fact, T-shirts reading "I caused Vista to slip" soon became a common sight at Microsoft's Building 27, home to the Secure Windows Initiative group. The group is responsible for securing Microsoft's software. "The shirt became very popular on campus," to the chagrin of management, says one source who asked not to be identified. Fathi isn't saying how much money the company has spent on making Vista secure, but judging by the contract work available for penetration testers--hacking professionals who specialize in poking and prodding systems to unearth vulnerabilities--it hasn't come cheap. Though Microsoft will be sponsoring a Vista track at this year's Black Hat hacker conference, many of the most prominent Windows security experts are now under nondisclosure agreements, according to Jeff Moss, the show's director. "They've hired pretty much all of the bright people," he said. "So the number of speakers who can actually go out and publicly talk about Windows Vista security has rapidly dwindled." For Fathi, this is a good thing. "We believe that we have the largest group of penetration testers ever assembled," Fathi says. "It's costing me a lot of moneyIt's worth every penny of course."

[AI] yet another arbitrary law making
Friends, Sure it is not a new thing for the rank and file of railway authorities to harass the disabled by coming up with arbitrary and ingenuous piece of legislative figments. However, this time, I was told to produce the original blindness certificate issued by civil surgeon along with the certificate for railway concession normally issued, even though the two are signed by literally same doctors. This happened in my recent nagpur visit and under the pretext of a circular demanding the same in wake of increased fraud in availing the said concession. On my demand the said circular was produced for my perusal which I did with the assistance of my sighted wife, but it turned out to be an injunction against accepting certificates by a particular Calcutta based doctor named ravindra XYZ who was found issuing fake certificate. Based on this, railway baboos have started demanding original blindness certificates along with railway concession certificates! Despite my protests, I was issued the ticket as a matter of favor, strictly on the condition that I produce the said original certificate within half an hour. I did not do, of course, as I did not have time even to take up the matter at higher level. Some days ago, I suppose chairman railway board was called to Delhi High court. At least, we may petition him to advise his staff to refrain from such an arbitrary law making. Rajesh. To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Replying directly to sender
Hi friends, If we recall some days ago a member had posted a way to configure jaws 7 to directly reply to the original sender in cases of mails posted on mailing lists in MS outlook with a single key stroke. Using that method I had associated a key command for the script (ctrl +shift+ a) but the script does not work. Whenever I press the key command jaws announces "cannot retrieve the sender's address" Your help is required to solve the issue.

[AI] AI BAD EXPERIENCE IN THE INTERVIEW
It's very illogical. One can take or return you from giving job-returning one without interviewing does befit an educated. You should look for possibilities of legal assistance in this case. Those who have done so could not see beyond your eyes. They should be brought to books to activate their potential perception. Though Getha has given the best suggestion one could give, this may also be added for consideration as something should be done to knock the doors open which close on the grounds of lacking awareness & overriding ignorance.
