[AI] Email programme like outlook express in windows 10 please.
Hi Dear friends, Wanted your suggestion as to which email programme I can use which is very similar to outlook express. Untill now I was using Outlook express in windows xp with jaws and was very comfortable using it. But since I'm migrating to Windows 10 and I doubt if outlook express is in windows 10, can you all suggest me an email programme which is similar to outlook express, in terms of its features, layout etc? Outlook express would download all my emails from Gmail's inbox and keep my Gmail's inbox clean and empty. So I believe I'm basically looking for a replica. And now I have switched to NVDA. So I would highly appreciate if you all could kindly suggest an email programme similar to Outlook express and compatible with NVDA. Or perhaps any email programme that is simple and easy to use with NVDA. Many thanks in advance, Sincerely, Rishi.

[AI] AICB: Expanding employment opportunities in the banking sector for the visually impaired
From: Anil Aneja To: 'Muthu Selvi' Cc: 'J. L. Kaul' Sent: Monday, 9 November 2015 7:57 AM Subject: Draft for access India and media regarding pandiyan grama bank. As you may be aware that for many years now, AICB has been striving hard to augment employment opportunities for the visually impaired in all sectors, but particularly in the banking sector. It was our case against the Punjab National Bank, way back in 1999 which paved the way for many visually impaired persons to be appointed as officers in various banks. A recent initiative of ours relates to creating employment opportunities for the blind and the low vision in a large segment of banks, called the regional rural banks where non-reservation of vacancies for the visually impaired often goes unnoticed. These banks are set up under a separate Act and advertise a large number of vacancies, and often ignore the visually impaired. As a number of complaints had been received by us in this respect, AICB recently filed an Public Interest Litigation against one such bank in Tamil Nadu, the Pandiyan Grama Bank which had advertised 180 vacancies in the clerical cadre and 214 vacancies in the officer scale 1 cadre, but not provided any reservation for the visually impaired. Our Secretary, Ms. Muthu Selvi, herself a bank officer, worked hard on this case and even argued the matter in the Madras High Court along with our lawyers. It was a difficult cased for many reasons. First, for nearly 36 years, this bank has not employed any blind person and 2, by the time the case came up for the first hearing, the results had already been declared. But we continued to press. The result is there for all to see: the Madras High Court directed the bank to reserve four vacancies for the visually impaired and appoint eligible and available persons. Two visually impaired persons have already received their appointment orders. The significance of this case rests in the fact that, due to this judgment, now no regional rural bank will be able to ignore reservation provisions for the visually impaired in its recruitments. This in turn will result in a large number of vacancies being available for the visually impaired because, as regional rural banks often do not provide reservations for the visually impaired, there would be a huge backlog. Also, now more visually impaired persons will be seen working in banks in the rural areas which, in turn will lead to more inclusion and sensitization. In case you come across any such cases of discrimination against the blind, please feel free to contact us. Dr. Anil K.

Re: [AI] About Projector.
I have been using Axaa technologies' PICO P300 and this is really helpful. You can attach with laptop and your iPad and iPhone as well, provided you have VgA cable. It is truly portable and I am not sure about its availability in the Indian market. Thank You.

Re: [AI] About Projector.
hi all, There is portable projector in market of Nepal. I have no idea about India. It is a Chinese product. It's size is very small which can be kept at pocket. It is like a remote of a TV. One can attach/detach the folding tripod stand as required. It has its own office system and just for presentation, the computer is not required. The data can be stored at the memory card and play. Small size chargeable battery can run it. However, if desired, one can play it on line and control from laptop too. The system is specially designed for field level presentation where there is no electricity. The model which my office has purchased last year cost about 35000 Indian rupees. Note: the built in system of the projector has no accessibility feature. For VI person, Connection of laptop is a must. But For the sited one the pocket size projector is sufficient. The need of detachable tripod stand is place specific. If no table/desk is available, then it is required otherwise not. On 11/8/15, Dr. G.

[AI] Windows 10 and classic shell
Hi Today I tried using the classicshell programme. For those who have been using XP for a long time, the tool will certainly help them. Even otherwise, usability experience gets enhanced by using this. Although the system that I tried on had modest configuration, even then, there was no significant delay or lag using this. Although the time I used this was for a very short time, It is certainly a option to consider for those who are contemplating to move to Windows10 and who are a bit nervous. It also has the Win7 option for those who want that feel on the desktop. However, I tried with the classic style and I am impressed with it. Although you don't loose anything in terms of functionability of Win10 you get the ease of use of the old style desktop layout. You can get this from classicshell.net This is a freeware and I tried using both NVDA and Jaws. It worked equally well with them both. Harish.

Re: [AI] Modi to distribute gadgets to visually-impaired in Varanasi
Dear members A few areas of concern 1. Most likely The mobiles will not be based on latest operating system. 2. Smart Cane training has not been imparted to earlier receipients. The manual of the cane says that the user must be knowing the proper cane techniques. Its not suitable for Village like environment. Maximum population of visually challenged resides in rural area. I have seen students removing the upper part in lucknow and using it. They keep the cane in switched off mode. Users in the group are requested to correct me if I am wrong. 3. Plextalk vachak says that it is for low vision as well. I dont know who is that person in india reading 11 point font on that small display. The most important question is after the new apps and increased accessibility in android phones, do we need a separate device for books. Daisy2go was a revolution and what ot started should be taken forward by new android devices.

Re: [AI] Modi to distribute gadgets to visually-impaired in Varanasi
Truly wonderful! He is distributing iPads and smart phones too. I hope he also ensures that all Govt websites become accessible, the way Govt delivers digital content becomes accessible, further he invests on good quality digital training. Mere distribution of gadgets is good but does not really do very much for the Nation. Digital communication from the MSJE and CCPD's office is far from being accessible. Ask Advocate Amar Jain about his experience with the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Believe me we blind people do not count. We are only worthy for free distribution and charity as far as major section of the Govt is concerned. Mr Modi would do really well if he would use his power and clout to change the way the Govt approaches us blind people. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Avichal Bhatnagar Sent: 08 November 2015 18:20 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

Re: [AI] Suggestions for purchasing rist watch
Hi Mohib, This reminds me of the watch that my father bought for me in my tenth standard which had black background with bold white hands and numbers, and no other design. My friends used to tell me that they could see the time in my watch from even back bench. Later on when the watch stopped working, I used the same dial by changing the machine inside. That was a Titan made one. On 11/8/15, Mohib Anwar Rafay wrote: > Hi friends, I am a low vision person. , I am fond of wearing rist > watches.

[AI] Suggestions for purchasing rist watch
Hi friends, I am a low vision person. , I am fond of wearing rist watches. So far I am wearing one rist watch from Maxima. My question is directly from those who wear watches, can you suggest me any good watch having black dial with silver or white handles, so that I could see the handles of the watch easily. I have brouzed several watches, but main problem is being faced in its dial, as the handles of the watch are not very much distinguishable from its background.

Re: [AI] Delhi roads set to become disabled-friendly
The very first thing that can be done in this direction and that does not need any funds is that unauthorized encroachment from the pavements should be cleared. Most of the footpaths have been enchroched by shopkeepers, Paan walas, hawkers etc. Secondly, unauthorized parking is another problem which can be addressed to without any funding. Exciting Offers to Grab Vedprakash Sharma -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2015 2:19 PM To: accessindia Subject: [AI] Delhi roads set to become disabled-friendly Roads in Delhi are all set to become disabled-friendly if all goes as planned, with the Delhi government preparing a detailed report. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/delhi-roads-set-to-become-disabledfriendly/article7856990.ece As the first step, the Chief Secretary has directed the three municipal Commissioners to identify routes in areas under their jurisdiction where fresh installations are needed. The civic bodies have been asked to focus on penalising violators in the existing disabled friendly parking lots and put up fresh signages. “Halting of vehicles for a few seconds at T-points is likely to be made mandatory for motorists. We are also looking into strictly adhering to box-type parking lots at several locations. A couple of roads will also be made one-way,” said a senior government official. The first session of brainstorming for the project took place on Wednesday, when Chief Secretary K.K. Sharma convened a high-level meeting of the Urban Development Department, civic bodies, Public Works Department, New Delhi Municipal Council, Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Muktesh Chander and a battery of experts, including eminent architect and urban planner K.T. Ravindran. In the meeting, it was also decided that focus will primarily be on roads that are not under the PWD. “The PWD has 60-feet wide roads and making changes on such roads is relatively easy. The real challenge is going to be roads that are narrower. These fall under other agencies. Footpaths will have to be built on these roads, as many do not even have them. Here on, all pathways shall be disabled-friendly,” said another official, adding that the municipal commissioners and traffic police will hold a meeting soon to discuss the modalities. Welcoming the move, Sminu Jindal, founder of Svayam, a non-government organisation that promotes dignity for people with reduced mobility, said: “The government is finally focusing on the true essence of inclusive growth. Such facilities are not only required for the differently-abled, but also for senior citizens, children, pregnant women and those injured. Take the survey done by the Delhi Traffic Police for instance. According to it, 45 per cent pedestrian deaths occur due to lack of continuity of footpaths.” She also added that the first act of the authorities should be to make pathways pedestrian-friendly. “There should be easy kerb-cuts. Bikers should be stopped and penalised for riding on pavements. Previously too pathways were made with proper slopes. However, bolsters had to be put up in the end to keep motorists out. Hence, enforcement is more important than all the planning,” she added. Public Welfare Department Minister Satyendra Jain had recently announced a plan to reclaim roads under the Department. According to the PWD’s plan, 10 prominent Delhi stretches are now a part of a pilot project which, at a cost of around Rs.5,000 crore, seeks to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users get preference, in that order, over car users who comprise a little over one per cent of the total road users in the Capital. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Roads in Delhi are all set to become disabled-friendly if all goes as planned, with the Delhi government preparing a detailed report. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/delhi-roads-set-to-become-disabledfriendly/article7856990.ece As the first step, the Chief Secretary has directed the three municipal Commissioners to identify routes in areas under their jurisdiction where fresh installations are needed. The civic bodies have been asked to focus on penalising violators in the existing disabled friendly parking lots and put up fresh signages. “Halting of vehicles for a few seconds at T-points is likely to be made mandatory for motorists. We are also looking into strictly adhering to box-type parking lots at several locations. A couple of roads will also be made one-way,” said a senior government official. The first session of brainstorming for the project took place on Wednesday, when Chief Secretary K.K. Sharma convened a high-level meeting of the Urban Development Department, civic bodies, Public Works Department, New Delhi Municipal Council, Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Muktesh Chander and a battery of experts, including eminent architect and urban planner K.T. Ravindran. In the meeting, it was also decided that focus will primarily be on roads that are not under the PWD. “The PWD has 60-feet wide roads and making changes on such roads is relatively easy. The real challenge is going to be roads that are narrower. These fall under other agencies. Footpaths will have to be built on these roads, as many do not even have them. Here on, all pathways shall be disabled-friendly,” said another official, adding that the municipal commissioners and traffic police will hold a meeting soon to discuss the modalities. Welcoming the move, Sminu Jindal, founder of Svayam, a non-government organisation that promotes dignity for people with reduced mobility, said: “The government is finally focusing on the true essence of inclusive growth. Such facilities are not only required for the differently-abled, but also for senior citizens, children, pregnant women and those injured. Take the survey done by the Delhi Traffic Police for instance. According to it, 45 per cent pedestrian deaths occur due to lack of continuity of footpaths.” She also added that the first act of the authorities should be to make pathways pedestrian-friendly. “There should be easy kerb-cuts. Bikers should be stopped and penalised for riding on pavements. Previously too pathways were made with proper slopes. However, bolsters had to be put up in the end to keep motorists out. Hence, enforcement is more important than all the planning,” she added. Public Welfare Department Minister Satyendra Jain had recently announced a plan to reclaim roads under the Department. According to the PWD’s plan, 10 prominent Delhi stretches are now a part of a pilot project which, at a cost of around Rs.5,000 crore, seeks to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users get preference, in that order, over car users who comprise a little over one per cent of the total road users in the Capital. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Interesting read: Advertising and the differently abled
In her book Are They Selling Her Lips?, Carol Moog writes, “Back in 1974, Foote, Cone & Belding’s advertising, developed for Levi Strauss & Company’s 501 jeans, included a man in a wheelchair in one of its genuinely engaging, musically excellent, shamelessly imitated, sales-soaring ‘501 Blues’ commercials. In the spot, young people are dancing, jogging, playing double-dutch and here’s this guy happily popping a wheelie in his chair...” http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/vY7NR2nL948fOtSAgcdHuJ/Advertising-and-the-differently-abled.html Probably for the first time in advertising history, a disabled man was featured in an ad, not as an oddity or in an apologetic manner, but as a person like any of us, having the time of his life, on his wheelchair. Interestingly, reports tell us that the term “differently abled” was coined by the US Democratic National Committee around the mid-1980s, and The Los Angeles Times reported in 1985, “In a valiant effort to find a kinder term than handicapped, the Democratic National Committee has coined differently abled. The committee itself shows signs of being differently abled in the use of English.” In the US, the term in use till then was handicapped and across the Atlantic the term was disabled. The new term differently abled has gained momentum and today we are seeing a growing sensitization of normal people to the issues facing the differently abled. Coming to India, here too, a man in a wheelchair had a stellar role in the Raymond ad done during the early 1990s. A dapper young man, in a suit, probably foreign returned, goes looking for his long-lost friend, only to find him on a wheelchair. After a moment of disappointment, the ad filmmaker lets the human emotion of togetherness take over—the two friends are then shown laughing and enjoying themselves on Mumbai’s Marine Drive, with our hero being pushed along at top speed on his wheelchair by his recently returned friend. The Hero brand of motorcycles used Pankaj Kapoor in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a blind father who guides his son towards buying a Hero Splendor motorbike; the blind father being used as a metaphor for the blind faith that millions of motorbike users have in the brand. Then there was a Tata corporate film in which we see a group of young boys playing football in the rain, with one of the teams having a polio-afflicted boy, in crutches, as the goalkeeper. The ad ends with the differently enabled goalie diving to save a sure goal, and the match, for his team. In the last few years, Indian ads have started celebrating differently abled consumers with full gusto. Several of the ads one has seen over the last few years are not apologetic about disability. One of the biggest efforts was probably the deaf national anthem done for Big Cinemas. Crafted to perfection, the national anthem, performed by the deaf and dumb children, brought alive the fact that you can be differently abled yet have the same pride and joy for one’s country. In the past 18 months alone, numerous ads have used differently abled characters to deliver their sales message. The Nescafe ad featuring a stammering stand-up comic was one such stellar effort. Lux used a blind photographer to showcase film star Katrina Kaif’s beauty. Vatika hair oil used the issue of hair loss associated with chemotherapy to create empathy with its core consumers: even if you lose all your beautiful hair, you still don’t lose your inner beauty, especially if you have friends who stand beside you. The use of differently abled characters by regular brands has had a strong effect on health insurance brands. While they have traditionally stayed with happy days kind of advertising, of late they have also started to present the real challenges of debilitating illnesses. HDFC Life ran an ad early this year where a loving father is helping his daughter, who wears an artificial limb on one leg, to realize her dream to become a dancer. It was a throwback to the real-life case of dancer-turned-actress Sudha Chandran (see her play her real-life role in the Telugu film Mayuri, remade in Hindi as Nache Mayuri). In its latest campaign, HDFC Life has used real world cancer survivor Lisa Ray to say, “Fighting cancer isn’t easy. Financially preparing for it is.” While our advertising has made some small moves, as a society we have a long way to go in sensitizing the general populace about the differently abled. Recently, the Xavier’s Resource Center for the Visually Handicapped conducted the Antarchakshu Workshop, a sensitization and awareness workshop aimed at creating a preview for the sighted into the world of the visually challenged. Those of us who were in the workshop came out of it with a somewhat different view of the visually challenged. The term differently abled was coined to take the stigma associated with the terms employed earlier. The differently abled tell us that they don’t need our charity, sympathy or pity; they ask for our understanding. That is no
