[AI] Brainstorming in Ahmedabad to make India disabled-friendly
Brainstorming in Ahmedabad to make India disabled-friendly TNN | Sep 16, 2015, 12.09 AM IST AHMEDABAD: Central government officials and over 250 representatives of state-based advocacy NGOs gathered at Ahmedabad Management Association on Tuesday to discuss Accessible India campaign for persons with disabilities (PwD). The campaign will be launched on International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3. Mukesh Jain - joint secretary of department of empowerment of PwD, ministry of social justice and empowerment - who interacted with NGO representatives, told TOI that the campaign has three major aspects: built environment, transportation facilities and information and communication technology. "Our aim is to implement the framework which is already in place. This requires all public buildings to be disability-friendly complete with Braille signs, ramps and lifts. Second aspect is to standardize transport such as buses, trains and even airplanes. Third and most important aspect is the use of information and communication technology where government websites should have facilities like audio options and bigger fonts," said Jain, who is visiting various states to disseminate information and invite suggestions for the campaign. He said the purpose of his visit was to include NGOs in the process. "Gujarat has some excellent organizations such as BPA (Blind People's Association) that is working in the field for decades. Experience of such organizations would help us immensely in forming the framework," said Jain. The event was organized by the BPA and CBM Germany. Welcoming the move, Geeta Sharma, programme coordinator with Unnati Organization for Development Education, said that when they started advocacy for accessibility a decade ago, a few people had idea about it. "Today the scenario has changed. With proper implementation of the initiative that covers education, employability and accessibility, I believe we would be able to empower the PwD," she said. Nandkishor Parikh of Society for Welfare of Mentally Retarded said, "Over 90 per cent facilities for the disabled are in cities. Identification of disability and addressing it by parents and family is the first step towards inclusivity," he said. सादर / With thanks & Regards राजेश आसुदानी Rajesh Asudani सहायक महाप्रबन्धक AGM बाजार आसूचना ईकाई MIU भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक Reserve Bank of India नागपुर Nagpur 0712 2806846 President VIBEWA Co-Moderator VIB-India A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and laughter.

Re: [AI] zotero accessibility
Dear muruganandan, since JAWS is not a open source, the ZOTERO team may not be able to test the Zotero application running jaws. if that is the case, one of us can test it for jaws and give feedback. we have many technical experts in the list. They also repeated that Zotero was too small a project to make proper accessibility checks. checking accessibility is not the big issue. we have accessibility testers. they have to develop the accessible version. Hope most of the options that are accessible with NVDA will be accessible with JAWS. no, here there is a substantial difference between the 2. the jaws is not able to intercept the screen display elements and screen text. You may also install the Zutila Ad-on which gives some more keyboard options for using Zotero options... where can I get it? I couldnot get it googling it. moreover, the problem is not of key commands. it is regarding reading. jaws is not at all reading the text displayed on the screen. we can neither use jaws cursor, nor develop jaws scripts. you may read through these discussions at the Zotero forum additionally: I will go through when time permits and get back. thank you very much Umesha On 9/16/15, muruganandan.k wrote: > Dear sir, > > since JAWS is not a open source, the ZOTERO team may not be able to > test the Zotero application running jaws.

[AI] Regarding an interesting device for mobility called AUSION:
Guys, I am posting an article here, do read it, and check there website at, http://innohub.co.in/ for further details. A new device created by a team of researchers in India could help blind people use echolocation as they move about, or determine their distance from obstacles in their path through sound. (Photo : Timothy Krause | Flickr) Blind people often find different ways of exploring their surroundings, and some use echolocation, which involves bouncing sound waves off objects nearby to determine where they're located. The ability to do this naturally, however, is quite rare. A new device, called Ausion, which has been developed by Innovation Hub Technologies, could help make it easy for blind people to echolocate. The device is small and lightweight, coming in at only 95 grams, or 0.2 pounds. It looks somewhat like a bulky mobile phone, and makes use of earbuds to alert the user where different objects are located. The device, when activated, can alert the user of the distance to objects nearby, and uses different musical notes to indicate how far away objects are. The different notes include sa-re-ga-ma-pa, or the notes from the Indian version of solfège, a system for singing notes (the Western version of solfège is do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti - think The Sound of Music). "The messages are coded as musical notes and the blind person only needs to get trained on how the device works," said Vinod Deshmukh, one of the creators of the device, in an interview with the Bangalore Mirror. "We wanted it to be simple and easy to use." Deshmukh leveraged his career experience as an RD engineer at Wipro, along with his work at the company's design center in Silicon Valley, and his work at Mindtree, an IT consulting firm. Co-founder SN Padmanabhan also worked at Wipro and Mindtree. The device has two sensors at the front, and is used similar to how someone uses a flashlight - the peron using it simply points it in the direction they want to walk. It has a total of four switches on the side, with two being for volume control, one being for auxiliary power, and the last being to switch the device on or off. The on/off switch can also be used to set the range, with the maximum range being 10 meters, or 33 feet. Because tonal differences reflect how far an object is, they can also reflect if there is a pothole nearby, for example. The team behind the device worked closely with teachers and students at schools for the blind, working for over a year to create a prototype that could be tested in real life. Now that it is being put to work in the real world, the team has received positive feedback from almost 30 people who have been testing the device. The team will continue to get feedback from participants in the future. The device has also now entered production, with IHT having commissioned 500 units. It will cost 3,500 rupees, or around $55, and will be first distributed through different social organizations and schools in Bangalore. The company plans a wider release in August. Source: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/70373/20150720/small-device-will-help-blind-people-echolocate.htm I have personally used this device for 2 weeks, I find it interesting. apart from mobility, I use it to find where exactly is the glass on the table, instead of having to search on the entire table etc. without a cane, I was able to successfuly walk indoors. yet to try outdoor navigation. so do try it. regards, Vidhya.

Re: [AI] zotero accessibility
Dear sir, since JAWS is not a open source, the ZOTERO team may not be able to test the Zotero application running jaws. They also repeated that Zotero was too small a project to make proper accessibility checks. Hope most of the options that are accessible with NVDA will be accessible with JAWS. Since I have NVDA alone as my screen-reader, I am not able to tell you how much it is accessible with JAWS You may also install the Zutila Ad-on which gives some more keyboard options for using Zotero options... you may read through these discussions at the Zotero forum additionally: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/35225/accessibility-for-blind-and-visually-impaired-people/ https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/46933/how-far-zotero-is-accessible-with-screenreaders-for-the-blind/ https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/40450/screen-reader-accessibility-keyboard-shortcuts/ On 9/15/15, Umesha S E wrote: > Friends, > sorry for the late reply. > to muruganandan, > what about accessibility for jaws? can't we expect it in near future? > because jaws is widely used screen reader due to historical reasons. > > to silpa and george, > while doing research and presenting the papers in academic > conferences/seminars, publishing articles in journals (subject related > periodicals), submitting Ph.D. thesis, or writing books, we have to > consult several sources of information. it is custom (and some times > rule) to make references to sources thus consulted. there are > established standerds for making these references to information > sources like books, journal or newspaper articles, thesis or reports. > the task of gathering the reference information for all of the sources > we consult and managing them and writing them in our Ph.D. thesis or > article can some times be a laborious thing. these reference manager > softwares exist in order to ease this task. > > hope my description answered your questions and not excessive. feel > free to ask any clarification. > > Umesha S.

[AI] w.r.t. google drive and drop box,
Hi, greetings of the day, I am facing a strange issue with installing drop box and google drive... Earlier approx a year back when I installed drop box I was able to use it easily. There was an icon named drop box on my desktop and when I clicked over it a folder opens with my files uploaded on the drop box. But now when I instal I get the icon on my desktop but when clicked it never opens. Even after downloading and installing the latest version I face the the same issue Have anyone experience this issue and what should I do for it to work as earlier. And the other issue is with google drive where after getting through the series of links from the gmail account to the download page of drive but the download link for drive has no response over being clicked... I tried with the older version to instal which I downloaded more than a year back and it's of no use... If anyone has the downloadable link for google drive or the instalable app please share... Both Drive and dropbox were working well on my laptop untill I was to format my thinkpad for some issue... Thanking you in anticipation...

Re: [AI] Request for supporting me to fight against the injustice done to me in EFL University
Priyanka, "when I asked him write something in favor of me," what to write? when I said to talk to your superviser, it means you have to ask him what best can be done in your interest and whether he can do something in your favour. Amar Jain, I think the PhD course work will be for only one semester. so, the cluase you said regarding next semester may not apply to this case. Umesha S. E.

Re: [AI] zotero accessibility
Friends, sorry for the late reply. to muruganandan, what about accessibility for jaws? can't we expect it in near future? because jaws is widely used screen reader due to historical reasons. to silpa and george, while doing research and presenting the papers in academic conferences/seminars, publishing articles in journals (subject related periodicals), submitting Ph.D. thesis, or writing books, we have to consult several sources of information. it is custom (and some times rule) to make references to sources thus consulted. there are established standerds for making these references to information sources like books, journal or newspaper articles, thesis or reports. the task of gathering the reference information for all of the sources we consult and managing them and writing them in our Ph.D. thesis or article can some times be a laborious thing. these reference manager softwares exist in order to ease this task. hope my description answered your questions and not excessive. feel free to ask any clarification.

Re: [AI] Interesting read: Is it wrong to imply disabled people are not "normal"?
Sometimes, our commentators and scholars make too much of nothing. In the present case, the word "normal" means "average" "common" or "adhering to a set standard". When a doctor checks the fever of his patient, and says that the temperature is normal, should the patient protest and say that his temperature is not abnormal. Exciting Offers to Grab Vedprakash Sharma -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2015 6:27 PM To: jnuvision ; accessindia Subject: [AI] Interesting read: Is it wrong to imply disabled people are not "normal"? Iain Duncan Smith has been criticised for calling non-disabled people "normal". Why does the word make people angry? http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-ouch-34197074 The Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, said in the House of Commons while defending the government's record on getting disabled people back into employment that "we are looking to get [the employment rates of disabled people] up to the level of normal, non-disabled people who are back in work." Disabled and non-disabled people were quick to react to the implication that people with disabilities are not "normal". On Twitter such comments as "none of us are normal" and "diversity is normal" have opened up a conversation about what normality is and whether or not it should ever be used to describe those with disabilities. The word itself is derived from the Latin "normalis" meaning a right-angle corresponding to a set square or carpenter's tool. George Walkden, a historical linguist from Manchester University says that later it became more linked to conforming to a set of standards and in the 16th Century it evolved further to mean ordinary. A tweet saying Image caption People on Twitter have questioned whether "normal" even exists "The use of the word implicitly divides people into two groups - with abnormal, the currently used antonym, carrying negative connotations," Walkden says. "The problem is that those who have been classified as not normal have a problem with it, it creates a sense of 'them' and 'us'. "It's very context-dependent and doesn't mean the same things to everyone, it's all about who and when. If I say a normal chair has four legs then that's OK." Another connotation of normal is that it should be something we strive towards which, Walkden says, in the case of many disabilities, is cruel because it is referring to things that can not be changed. While many wouldn't bat an eyelid at using the word "normal" to describe non-disabled people, wheelchair user Mik Scarlet says he has encountered it his entire life. "Normal just shouldn't exist anymore because I don't think anybody can really define what it is," he says. "If we can get past this idea of normal then we can be truly equal and nobody would need to be described as such. "I meet so many young disabled people who say they just want to be normal, that's all they want, and actually I think anybody who strives for that has missed the point of life, really. For me it is much better to see yourself as not normal and different because that is just more interesting." But Pipa Riggs, a blind woman from Scotland has a different opinion, maintaining that Duncan Smith was technically correct in his use of "normal" to describe non-disabled people. "Based on the fact we are seen as 'disabled' infers we are not as able as the majority," she says, "and another way of describing a majority is as 'normal' so I think he was justified in his usage," she says. Mik Scarlet in his music studio Image caption Mik says he doesn't want to be "normal" Dr John Hughes, a GP in Manchester says that the medical definition will vary greatly from a social usage of the word and it is important that doctors have a standardised view of what "normal" means. "In medicine there are normal ranges for most things, blood tests, heart rate etc and anything outside of what is the normal range is considered abnormal," he says. At its most basic level, Hughes says, "normal" is defined by doctors as having two arms, two legs and a healthy set of organs and mind. But, he adds, nuances do still exist and doctors will have their own, individual view of what "normal" is. "Take autism and Aspergers which are on a very wide spectrum and you will find that psychiatrists often have a much lower threshold than GPs of what may constitute those conditions. And then look at the terminology often used around autism, that somebody can have 'high functioning autism' placing them closer to what we believe is the 'normal' way a brain should be." Hughes says that doctors ultimately tend to use themselves as a benchmark for what is "normal", so the word is certainly up for interpretation in the medical profession too. Ian Macrae from the website Disability Now (who is blind) says Duncan Smith was using a subjective term in an objective way. "I view everything about me as n

Re: [AI] Request for supporting me to fight against the injustice done to me in EFL University
first of all, well written subject . I have roughly checked your university's act, and the ordinances. Without necessarily treating it as a legal advice: 1. In case of project works, or other assignments such as course works, right of re-evaluation is not available. 2. You can apply for re-evaluation of the term end paper before commencement of the next semester. 3. If that option is gone, then you practically have no way then to wait for their official letter, and then to appeal to executive council which can over-turn the decision of the vice-chancellor and controller. 4. If that also fails, then file a RTI asking the university to provide the names of the students who have been given second chance in the course works, although that seems discretionary looking at the ordinance. And take it to Court. The above suggestions are subject to any other ordinance or regulation or notification which may have a modificatory effect and the same may not be available on the website of the university.
