Re: [AI] Recruitment of v.h. by Maharashtra Govt. a deception.
It seems, there is no uniform rule all over the country. In West Bengal similar things happened a few years ago. Now it is very difficult to obtain a certificate even if you are totally blind. You have to go to the hospital several times to get a date for necessary medical test and to go through a host of formalities. False certificate is still possible perhaps, we need not mention how.

Regards, Lisa http://www.touchgraphics.com/rocket.htm Interactive 3D Touch Rocket Model As part of its Phase 2 SBIR grant from the National Science Foundation, Touch Graphics is exploring a new technology for making museum exhibits more accessible for blind and low vision visitors. We are creating a touchable model of the Hall’s Rocket Park; the park includes two actual artifacts from the US space program from the 1960’s: a Mercury spacecraft set on a Titan rocket booster, and a Gemini capsule set on an Atlas booster. The model, set in a prominent position inside the museum, next to large windows with a view of the actual rockets, will allow visitors to interact through a combination of listening, looking and touching. The company has commissioned a new electronic device that is capable of detecting when a person touches any one of 54 discreet metal parts on the model; this information is sent to a computer, which then plays back identifying audio information on the part that was touched. Additionally, the exhibit provides historical overview information on the space program, and will even include an alphabetical index of the parts of the model, from which the user will select something of interest, and then have his or her hand coached to the place on the model where that part can be found. The Rocket Model has been shown publicly at the 2005 Association of Science and Technology Centers conference in Richmond, Virginia, USA, and at the National Center for Tactile Diagrams 2005 Conference in Birmingham, England. _ Search from any Web page with powerful protection.

[AI] Skype on Your Smart Phone
Skype on Your Smart Phone Oct 18, 2006 Skype software compatible with the Symbian mobile phone operating system will hit the market by the end of the year, despite rumors that Skype had halted development of the product, an executive said during the Symbian Smartphone Show in London. Hopefully before Christmas we can satisfy a lot of questions about where Skype is on mobile phones, said Eric Lagier, head of mobile development at Skype, today. Recent reports describing the development of the Symbian product as delayed or derailed aren't true and Skype plans to introduce a client that will run on Symbian phones by the holiday season, he said. Complicated Development, Pricing Symbian runs on the vast majority of smart phones, including Nokia's high-end phones as well as some handsets from Sony Ericsson and Samsung. Skype has been discussing the development of the Symbian-based product since last year and Symbian fans have been clamoring for its release but Skype has largely resisted discussing a release date for the product. Skype software for Symbian phones would allow mobile phone users to make Voice over IP calls over Wi-Fi networks, if the phone supports Wi-Fi, or over 3G (third-generation) networks. Presumably the Skype calls would be less expensive than other mobile calls, but Skype has been vague about pricing for end users. Because mobile operators charge their customers to access 3G networks to make some VoIP calls, Skype would ask for a share of that revenue, said Lagier. The process of developing the mobile Skype software has been challenging, he said. People are happy with how their mobile phones work, he said. As such, Skype is compelled to create an application that is easy to use and has the same quality as regular mobile voice calling, he said. Some mobile operators have resisted the idea of mobile Skype, which could compete with their own voice services, pledging to block the VoIP service . But others have embraced the idea. Earlier this year Hutchison 3 Group announced that it would start testing a mobile Skype offering with the intent of rolling out a commercial service in all of its markets. So far, those trials show that the usage pattern of mobile Skype customers is different than PC customers because they aren't bound to their PCs, Lagier said. Skype has already introduced a client for some mobile devices that run Windows operating systems. http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/pcw_news/webtelephonyandconferencing/article;c=1303;c=1370;c=1370;aid=127528;pos=showcase-lg;tile=2;sz=336x280;ord=49793489; Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

Re: [AI] Recruitment of v.h. by Maharashtra Govt. a deception.
well, in the first place, may I tell you that, it is a fraude to obtain a disability certificate like this and there are provisions for penalties in law for such persons!. this is an exception. whereas in ordinary cases the certificate of doctor cannot be questioned, here in matters of disability, if the certificate is obtained by false representation in order to take benefits of disability (word benefit is a common usage and I'm neither choosing it nor disputing it for the moment) but the fact of the matter remains that such person is liable to punishment. secondly, there are ways that false representations of disability can be brought to notice to uncover the reality. as to the advertisements for employment, only those jobs which have been identified as suitable only for partially blind and where totally blind are excluded can be reserved only forpartially blind and not otherwise. I mean, jobs which are suitable for both blind and partially blind/ low vision have to be provided for in this manner in the advertisement otherwise it will be illegal and can be challenged. I think this is enough for the time being. regards n - Original Message - From: Amiyo Biswas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 01:02 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Recruitment of v.h. by Maharashtra Govt. a deception.

Re: [AI] Skype on Your Smart Phone
Hi everybody can anyone tell me what is skype and how to use it. how to make it competible with JAWS? Vikas Kapoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Skype on Your Smart Phone Oct 18, 2006 Skype software compatible with the Symbian mobile phone operating system will hit the market by the end of the year, despite rumors that Skype had halted development of the product, an executive said during the Symbian Smartphone Show in London. Hopefully before Christmas we can satisfy a lot of questions about where Skype is on mobile phones, said Eric Lagier, head of mobile development at Skype, today. Recent reports describing the development of the Symbian product as delayed or derailed aren't true and Skype plans to introduce a client that will run on Symbian phones by the holiday season, he said. Complicated Development, Pricing Symbian runs on the vast majority of smart phones, including Nokia's high-end phones as well as some handsets from Sony Ericsson and Samsung. Skype has been discussing the development of the Symbian-based product since last year and Symbian fans have been clamoring for its release but Skype has largely resisted discussing a release date for the product. Skype software for Symbian phones would allow mobile phone users to make Voice over IP calls over Wi-Fi networks, if the phone supports Wi-Fi, or over 3G (third-generation) networks. Presumably the Skype calls would be less expensive than other mobile calls, but Skype has been vague about pricing for end users. Because mobile operators charge their customers to access 3G networks to make some VoIP calls, Skype would ask for a share of that revenue, said Lagier. The process of developing the mobile Skype software has been challenging, he said. People are happy with how their mobile phones work, he said. As such, Skype is compelled to create an application that is easy to use and has the same quality as regular mobile voice calling, he said. Some mobile operators have resisted the idea of mobile Skype, which could compete with their own voice services, pledging to block the VoIP service . But others have embraced the idea. Earlier this year Hutchison 3 Group announced that it would start testing a mobile Skype offering with the intent of rolling out a commercial service in all of its markets. So far, those trials show that the usage pattern of mobile Skype customers is different than PC customers because they aren't bound to their PCs, Lagier said. Skype has already introduced a client for some mobile devices that run Windows operating systems. http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/pcw_news/webtelephonyandconferencing/article;c=1303;c=1370;c=1370;aid=127528;pos=showcase-lg;tile=2;sz=336x280;ord=49793489; Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

Re: [AI] Recruitment of v.h. by Maharashtra Govt. a deception.
Hello, This is reallb a grave problem. Infact the problem lies in the PWD act which does not differentiate totally blind from the person with low vision inn terms of category. I have brought this drawback to the notice of the ministery of social justice and empowerment. This bias trend is also visible in the recent recruitment by UPSC in civil services. This indeed throws a light upon the mental block these people sitting at highest echelon carry. We stil need find a change in the mind set of people who make policy decision. We all meed to make effort in this regard. Nikhil Jain On Thu, 19 Oct 2006 rajesh asudani wrote : Hi Anjali It is the penultimate Para of your mail which precisely applies to Maharashtra situation.
