Re: [AI] Man ends life to help brother regain vision but in vain

2007-11-22 Thread Suresh Sambandhan
Hi Friends,

I heard a lot of Rotary clubs and Lions' club help
visually impaired persons, especially some doctors are
ready to help.  Taking one's life is not a solution to
solve the problem.

Thanks

 Man ends life to help brother regain vision but in
 vain
 
 Chennai (PTI): An auto-driver here committed suicide
 in order to donate his eyes to his partially blind
 younger brother, but his sacrifice went in vain
 as the cornea was found medically unfit for
 transplantation as it could not be removed in time.
 
 Upset over his brother Karthik (24) losing his sight
 steadily due to a nervous disorder, Ravikumar (26)
 out of immense love for him ended his life by
 hanging
 himself at his house in a north Chennai locality on
 Tueday afternoon, police said.
 
 Please give my eyes to my brother after my death,
 Ravikumar had written in the suicide note.
 
 Tragically for him, his cornea could not be removed
 in time as the suicide note was noticed only late in
 the night, about six hours after the death, they
 said.
 
 Unfortunately for Ravikumar he was not aware that
 his brother's chances of regaining the sight were
 remote even with transplantation as Karthik's
 connecting
 nerves in the eyes were damaged, police quoting
 doctors said.
 
 Yet, when the body was taken to the Kilpauk Medical
 College to find out whether it was still possible
 for the eyes to be useful, the doctors there
 expressed
 their helplessness.

 Hello!
 All the mobile which you have mentioned are surely compatible with talks!
 so hence you can go ahead buying any one!
 Nokia 3230 Cost is surely less than 1.
 N 70 N70 Music N 72 Are second generation phones!
 N 73 is third generation phone!
 Since the third generation phones are write now the latest technology!
 They
 may be more expensive than second generation phones!

 Regarding the cost of talks!
 You can contact saksham at


 [EMAIL PROTECTED]


 and they will provide you with all the necessary details!

 As per my Knoledge,
 Standerd talks key will cost you rs. 3800.
 And premium talks key will cost you Rs. 4800.

 Hope this helps!
 many thanks!

Subject: [AI] My initial experience with Vista


 Hi everyone,

 I have to very firmly say that Vista certainly has lots of features
 and one has to spend a bit of time in making it accessable. Initially
 I had trouble with the intercept manager, but I managed to fix it and
 it is working great. And Yes! I don't see the system being slow at
 all. In fact it is much faster than XP in many ways. Just to give you
 an example, one can get files transfered with the speed of almost 4MB
 per second and it's really the better speed to what I was used to
 before. However one has to really spend lots of time in working around
 security issues since many of our programs are not recognized and
 henceforth considered insecure.

For an isolated blind man in love with a married
woman, there are many other ways to find fulfilment in
a real relationship, writes Lesley Garner

Dear Madam,

I am 23 years old and blind. My family background is
difficult, so I no longer live at home but I still
feel the need to be taken care of.

Table with 2 columns and 2 rows


All by myself: Isolation doesn't have to be difficult

All by myself: Isolation doesn't have to be difficult

table end

My real problem is that I have fallen in love with a
lady who is 10 years older than me - however, she is
married. I asked a counsellor how I could free
myself from her.

He advised me to tell myself that she is nothing more
than an image in my mind. But that doesn't work when I
am alone in my room at night or when I hear
her voice. I want an emotional support.

Yes, I am blind, but what to do with the human heart
and all its emotional and physical needs? Sometimes I
think that I will not be able to cope without
a faithful partner. I have no family support and
living alone is depressing. Can you please suggest
what I can do? Rajiv, India

Dear Rajiv,
advertisement
MDMDGNESUNEU/Telegraph_300x250_Exclu_UK

I can tell that you are a resilient person because,
although you tell me that you are blind and live apart
from your family, you believe your real problem
to be that you have fallen in love with an unavailable
woman.

Many people would think that your greatest problem is
your handicap, but you have over-ridden that to focus
on the hell of being in the grip of an unattainable
passion.

My heart goes out to you. At 23, the needs of the
heart and body are intolerably urgent. The only
advantage of age and experience when it comes to
relationships
is that over time you earn the knowledge that one does
fall out of love.

One does survive. A broken heart does mend and set
itself up to be broken all over again. Or, better, it
mends and is offered to somebody who is worthy
of it and who is in a position to offer a whole heart
in return.

There are things you can do about this. We are all
vulnerable to the sparks of infatuation, but it is up
to us whether we fan them into a flame or not.
This woman is not a source of happiness for you but a
painful learning experience.

I doubt this is of any comfort, but the agonising
feeling of falling hopelessly in love with the wrong
person is something that millions of us endure. If
we let it, it simply makes us more human.

I can quite understand that this is harder for you
than it might be for other people of your age because,
in your condition and in your social circumstances,
you have so little to distract yourself from your
obsession.

You have fallen in love from a position of loneliness
and unhappiness and this makes you much more
vulnerable when forming relationships. Of course, it
is harder to turn your thoughts away from the object
of your desire when you spend so much time alone. It
is this social isolation, and not your unrequited
love, that I think is your real problem.

The good news is that there are things you can do to
relieve the isolation. This, in turn, will help you
make new friends, release yourself from your hopeless
love and find a better one.

Your letter has made me think of and find out about
all sorts of problems that I hadn't considered before.
It made me think about the opportunities for
love and match-making that are open to the visually
impaired.

It made think about the opportunities for independent
living and working that might be available to you. It
made me think about what life in India could
be like for someone in your condition who is not
getting support from their family. In short, it sent
me on to Google.

I see no reason why your cry from the heart for love
and companionship, the most fundamental human longing,
should not be answered. I have no statistics
for India, but in America nearly 50 per cent of
visually impaired people are married.

I found visually impaired people posting themselves on
dating websites. The joy of the internet is that
people who find themselves isolated in real life
can reach out and find others to communicate with via
social networking sites. That is the first step to
relieving your isolation.

Even if some of the people you communicate with are in
other countries, they can still provide relief from
the loneliness. You may be alone but you have
access to a computer with software that converts
what's displayed on-screen to speech.

That is a huge advantage. Despite the explosion in
social networking available through your computer,

 FARHAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi  All,

 Just wanted to let you all know first, that the final release of JAWS 9
 is now slated to go live on Monday at noon (east coast time). The CDs
 for anyone with an SMA will also all be shipped no later than Wednesday
 November 21 so they will begin to arrive next weekend for most people.
 We will be posting updated information about the final changes for JAWS
 9 along with a FAQ section on the Freedom Scientific web site Monday
 morning so please watch there for details.

 Just a couple of comments for the most obvious questions:
 If you have been participating in the Public beta cycle and you are
 entitled to get the final release because of the SMA, then you should be
 able to use the Check for Updates feature and install the final
 release that way. If for some reason, the Check for Update process does
 not work as expected for you, we suggest that you please just download
 the full version from the web and install it that way.

 If you are not entitled for JAWS 9 yet, but you have been using the
 public beta version over the past couple of months, we suggest you
 download the Demo Version of the JAWS 9 final release and install it
 over top of the public beta version before December 1, when the beta is
 set to expire. The Demo version will post on Monday at the same time as
 the release version.

 We would really like to thank all of you who participated in the beta
 process. The feedback from you was fantastic and we know that it
 resulted in many improvements to the final release making JAWS 9 a huge
 success. We are looking forward to following up the successful JAWS 9
 release with MAGic 11, Openbook 8, and of course, the PAC Mate OMNI
 release during the next month or so. Please watch our web site for all
 the details as we gear up for a very exciting 2008.

[AI] Improve your mobilityLeader dog for blind.

2007-11-22 Thread sriram kalyanaraman
Hi,
   
  I have been off radar of access india for some time now. Hope you are all 
doing fine.
   
  There is a programme 
for leader dogs for the blind, being organised by Blue Cross and 
KarmayogChennai (an NGO). 
   
  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:
   
  1. Would you be interested in owning a leader dog, that will improve your 
mobility?
   
  2. If interested, what do you think the benefits would be for you.
   
  3. If you are not interested, please indicate why you are not interested?
   
  A write-up about this programme is given below for your information. 
   
   
  Karmayog—a NGO with difference
   
  Karmayog is a Non Government Organization formed in Mumbai, India, few years 
back with the objective of addressing the social problems such as Corruption, 
helping the needy, exchange of ideas for betterment of downtrodden. It is a 
purely a voluntary organization which was started by some of the old students 
of IITs and other prestigious institutions who are well placed in their 
professional and personal life. The primary objective of Karmayog is helping 
the needy. 
   
  The thrust areas of service of Karmayog are Anti Corruption, Blood Donation, 
assistance in regards to Right to Information for the citizens of India, 
helping the needy in case of natural disasters. Karmayog works in partnership 
with Mumbai Municipal Corporation [BMC], Anti Corruption Bureau [M-PAC] of 
Maharastra Government, Educational Focus Groups which are working towards 
satellite based and web based education and training programmes for rural 
youth. 
   
  It works on the principals of exchanging ideas through e-mail groups, 
meetings on specific issues, Joint Venturing with other NGOs and Governmental 
Departments and agencies to address the social issues of India. It also makes 
it known to philanthropists, members of Karmayog Group some specific needs for 
helping the needy and poor. One of the major thrust areas of service is the 
service to people whose physical and mental needs are different than normal 
human being. 
   
  Recently, in June 2007 Karmayog started its Chennai chapter which has grown 
in strength with 5 months of its formation and have already done meaningful 
service to the needy through its members and by association with other NGOs. 
The coordinator for the Chennai chapter of Karmayog is one Mr. Raj Vardharajan 
who is a professional Engineer with post graduate qualification and who has 
worked in multi nationals and overseas countries including USA for over 40 
years. 
   
  To name selected and notable members of Karmayog, Chennai chapter, one can 
cite

[AI] Unemployment up among the disabled in India.

2007-11-22 Thread Sudhir R (NeSTIT)
rediff.com

November 22, 2007 10:16 IST

A World Bank report has found levels of unemployment increasing among disabled 
persons in the country.

The study commissioned by the Government of India and based on a sample of 
2,000 households in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh says that employment rate among
people with disability (PWD) fell from 42.7 per cent in 1991 down to 37.6 per 
cent in 2002.

The five percentage point difference results in part from the different sample 
as people with mental illness and retardation were not counted as PWD in
the 47th round but were in the 58th round, where they were the PWD sub groups 
with the lowest employment rates.

However, the finding of a reduced employment rate among PWD between the early 
1990s and the early 2000s holds even when mental illness and mental retardation
people are omitted from the 58th round sample.

Excluding MI and MR, the study says that the employment rate of PWD still 
stands at 39.6 in 2002 i.e. 3.1 percentage points lower than in 1991. This 
compares
to a fall of only 1.1 percentage points for the general population (from 58.6 
to 57.5 per cent) between 1993 and 2000, the report points out.

The report finds no explanation for this decline in employment rates over a 
decade among people with disability. Says lead author Philip O'Keefe: We are
still looking for answers for this one. I feel better reporting and better 
awareness about the matter could explain the figures partly.

The report, People with Disabilities in India: From Commitments to Outcomes, 
concludes that further research is needed to understand the determinants of
the decline in the job rate of persons with physical and sensory disabilities 
between 1991 and 2002, particularly to assess if it results from changes
in the demographic composition of the population with disabilities, in the 
increased severity of disability or factors in the labour market and society.

The report goes on to say that fall in the employment rates of PWD relative to 
the general working age population during the 1990s is almost universal across
the country except Sikkim. But the extent of the relative decline varies.

States like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra exhibit small falls in the 
PWD/non PWD employment ratios, while others like J K, Bihar, and Assam have 
seen
large falls in the relative employment position of PWD.

A further aspect of the unfair gap between the employment rates of the PWD and 
the general working age population is the variations between the two in the
levels of education.

The study says that the gap in employment rates between the two is more 
pronounced for those with the lowest levels of education in both periods. The 
gap
in employment levels has widened for all education levels, the study shows.

For the illiterate PWD population, their employment rate was 64 per cent of the 
of the general illiterate population in the early 1990s. This fell sharply
to 47 per cent by the early 2000s. Not only have PWDs lost out in employment 
terms in 1990s, but those likely to be the poorest have lost out proportionately
more, the report says.

He could divert all his thoughts little by little to something more

grow?), animals (Giraffe sleeps only for fifteen minutes a day!). News 
(business, politics, science and technology, accessibility!, sports,

one purpose of doing all this is just to divert himself from thinking
about 
her. Later on, after all this, he should do a careful analysis of his 
infatuation, love, whatever towards her, and then, concentrate about 
building up the new relationship (if only necessary), with others. The
main

 For an isolated blind man in love with a married

 My real problem is that I have fallen in love with a
 lady who is 10 years older than me - however, she is
 married. I asked a counsellor how I could free
 myself from her.

 He advised me to tell myself that she is nothing more
 than an image in my mind. But that doesn't work when I
 am alone in my room at night or when I hear
 her voice. I want an emotional support.

 Yes, I am blind, but what to do with the human heart
 and all its emotional and physical needs? Sometimes I
 think that I will not be able to cope without
 a faithful partner. I have no family support and
 living alone is depressing. Can you please suggest

 I can tell that you are a resilient person because,
 although you tell me that you are blind and live apart
 from your family, you believe your real problem
 to be that you have fallen in love with an unavailable
 woman.

 Many people would think that your greatest problem is
 your handicap, but you have over-ridden that to focus
 on the hell of being in the grip of an unattainable
 passion.

 My heart goes out to you. At 23, the needs of the
 heart and body are intolerably urgent. The only
 advantage of age and experience when it comes to
 relationships
 is that over time you earn the knowledge that one does
 fall out of love.

 One does survive. A broken heart does mend and set
 itself up to be broken all over again. Or, better, it
 mends and is offered to somebody who is worthy
 of it and who is in a position to offer a whole heart
 in return.

 There are things you can do about this. We are all
 vulnerable to the sparks of infatuation, but it is up
 to us whether we fan them into a flame or not.
 This woman is not a source of happiness for you but a
 painful learning experience.

doing fine.

  There is a programme
for leader dogs for the blind, being organised by Blue Cross and 
KarmayogChennai (an NGO).

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

mobility?

  2. If interested, what do you think the benefits would be for you.

  3. If you are not interested, please indicate why you are not interested?

  A write-up about this programme is given below for your information.

back with the objective of addressing the social problems such as Corruption, 
helping the needy, exchange of ideas for betterment of downtrodden. It is a 
purely a voluntary organization which was started by some of the old students 
of IITs and other prestigious institutions who are well placed in their

 Just wanted to let you all know first, that the final release of JAWS 9
 is now slated to go live on Monday at noon (east coast time). The CDs
 for anyone with an SMA will also all be shipped no later than Wednesday

 We will be posting updated information about the final changes for JAWS

 morning so please watch there for details.

 Just a couple of comments for the most obvious questions:
 If you have been participating in the Public beta cycle and you are
 entitled to get the final release because of the SMA, then you should be
 able to use the Check for Updates feature and install the final
 release that way. If for some reason, the Check for Update process does
 not work as expected for you, we suggest that you please just download
 the full version from the web and install it that way.

 If you are not entitled for JAWS 9 yet, but you have been using the
 public beta version over the past couple of months, we suggest you
 download the Demo Version of the JAWS 9 final release and install it
 over top of the public beta version before December 1, when the beta is
 set to expire. The Demo version will post on Monday at the same time as
 the release version.

 We would really like to thank all of you who participated in the beta
 process. The feedback from you was fantastic and we know that it
 resulted in many improvements to the final release making JAWS 9 a huge
 success. We are looking forward to following up the successful JAWS 9
 release with MAGic 11, Openbook 8, and of course, the PAC Mate OMNI

 the details as we gear up for a very exciting 2008.

persons in the country.

The study commissioned by the Government of India and based on a sample of 
2,000 households in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh says that employment rate among
people with disability (PWD) fell from 42.7 per cent in 1991 down to 37.6 per 
cent in 2002.

The five percentage point difference results in part from the different sample 
as people with mental illness and retardation were not counted as PWD in
the 47th round but were in the 58th round, where they were the PWD sub groups 
with the lowest employment rates.

However, the finding of a reduced employment rate among PWD between the early 
1990s and the early 2000s holds even when mental illness and mental retardation
people are omitted from the 58th round sample.

Excluding MI and MR, the study says that the employment rate of PWD still 
stands at 39.6 in 2002 i.e. 3.1 percentage points lower than in 1991. This 
compares
to a fall of only 1.1 percentage points for the general population (from 58.6 
to 57.5 per cent) between 1993 and 2000, the report points out.

The report finds no explanation for this decline in employment rates over a 
decade among people with disability. Says lead author Philip O'Keefe: We are
still looking for answers for this one. I feel better reporting and better 
awareness about the matter could explain the figures partly.

The report, People with Disabilities in India: From Commitments to Outcomes, 
concludes that further research is needed to understand the determinants of
the decline in the job rate of persons with physical and sensory disabilities 
between 1991 and 2002, particularly to assess if it results from changes
in the demographic composition of the population with disabilities, in the 
increased severity of disability or factors in the labour market and society.

The report goes on to say that fall in the employment rates of PWD relative to 
the general working age population during the 1990s is almost universal across
the country except Sikkim. But the extent of the relative decline varies.

States like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra exhibit small falls in the 
PWD/non PWD employment ratios, while others like J K, Bihar, and Assam have 
seen
large falls in the relative employment position of PWD.

A further aspect of the unfair gap between the employment rates of the PWD and 
the general working age population is the variations between the two in the
levels of education.

The study says that the gap in employment rates between the two is more 
pronounced for those with the lowest levels of education in both periods. The 
gap
in employment levels has widened for all education levels, the study shows.

For the illiterate PWD population, their employment rate was 64 per cent of the 
of the general illiterate population in the early 1990s. This fell sharply
to 47 per cent by the early 2000s. Not only have PWDs lost out in employment 
terms in 1990s, but those likely to be the poorest have lost out proportionately
more, the report says.
