[AI] Re : Problem with sound card
hi ravi paul, Did the problem start recently or was it always there from the start. At this point there could be two reasons 1. If the problem was from the start then resetting the jumper settings on the sound card would solve the issue. 2. If it was a recent occuring then the speakers has a problem with the volume control IE the resistance coil inside the unit has to be replaced To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Writing style, No more discussion please
This type of discussion has no meaning particularly in long way, although some practice of healthy debate might be possible. But, we should focus mainly on welfare of Visually Chalenged persons in all time and we should remember this bitter and real fact that most of us have passed from very backward standard of education and even though today also, many of us are facing lots of problems for getting proper education at all level, specially in computer education at school level. So, it would be better for us to focus on only basic objectives of AccessIndia.

Re: [AI] Writing style
In my opinion, there is very close link between writing style and understanding because if our understanding is not good, we can't improve our writing style. One another thing is: non of us has mastery in area of writing style from starting, it does healthy after getting experience of various type of expressions and presentation of our views on different aspects. Therefore, we should courage new members for expressing their views frankly, although if they do serious mistake, then we should guide them personally not publicly. Another most important thing is: we should avoid ourselves from unnecessarily defending to anyone because god has given enough mind to everyone and if any person use this positively, the capacity of his / her thought will be progressive and matured.

Re: [AI] problem with the sound card and the sound quality
Hi Ravi Device drivers are pretty specific to that device for best performance. You cannot substitute it for some generic drivers. Regarding your problem, the speaker may not be good enough to stand higher amplitude. If you are using a built in speaker on a desktop or laptop, you may not get great sound quality. External speakers with amplifier usually does a better job. Headphones again sound great, but I think it is not a good idea to tax your hearing, if you can avoid using a headphone.

Re: [AI] Invitation for seminar “Inclusion and Exc lusion: Exploring Issues and Practices”
dear sir, the concept note is just below the signature in our first post. we have pasted it below the message as attachments are not allowed in the group posts. once again i am putting the concept note here as below. - prashant naik THE CONCEPT NOTE: St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and Liverpool Hope University, U.K. are jointly hosting an International Colloquium on "Inclusion and Exclusion: Exploring Issues and Practices" This one day colloquium initiates an international research partnership designed to explore common interests in the many aspects of inclusion. We understand inclusion to be that movement which seeks to diminish barriers to participation in community, culture and curriculum for all, regardless of social class, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, language, sexuality and so on. Considering the number of marginalized groups in our society, the question of inclusion into the mainstream is a relevant issue for discussion. This programme is for members of the teaching community and others working in the field and will be held on Wednesday 27th February 2008, from 9 am to 5.30 pm. A working lunch will be served. The morning session is a theoretical exploration of some of the contested territories and ideologies of inclusion and the challenges and opportunities it represents to our societies. There will be paper presentations followed by discussions. The afternoon session, by contrast, is a practical, hands-on experience, focused on a specific area, viz. inclusion for the 'differently abled' students, in mainstream college education. The format will be an experiential learning workshop, designed to sensitize educators, and to help them cater to the needs of these students. At the end of the day, there will be a discussion to consolidate the learning and to bring out the links between theory and practice. To register for this international programme, send in the following details (name, college/organisation and personal contact number and email) to Genevive at the XDP office, by 20th February 2008. You can call or send an email. Telefax: 22617677 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The registration fee of Rs.200/- is to be paid when you come for the programme on 27/02/2008. Participation certificates can be collected at the end of that day itself. We look forward to an enthusiastic response from the teaching staff of your Organisation. Dr. Frazer Mascarenhas S.J.

Please find the concept note and a tentative programme schedule pasted below this message. If any of you are interested, please reply by email to the contact address given, or call the numbers given. The registration fee of Rs.200 is to be paid on the day of the programme. Participation certificates will also be given on that day itself. The Programme is to be held on 27th Feb 08 from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. We hope to see you there and do feel free to circulate this amongst others who may be interested. Regards,Neha Trivedi Project Officer XRCVC THE CONCEPT NOTE: St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai and Liverpool Hope University, U.K. are jointly hosting an International Colloquium on “Inclusion and Exclusion: Exploring Issues and Practices” This one day colloquium initiates an international research partnership designed to explore common interests in the many aspects of inclusion. We understand inclusion to be that movement which seeks to diminish barriers to participation in community, culture and curriculum for all, regardless of social class, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, language, sexuality and so on. Considering the number of marginalized groups in our society, the question of inclusion into the mainstream is a relevant issue for discussion. This programme is for members of the teaching community and others working in the field and will be held on Wednesday 27th February 2008, from 9 am to 5.30 pm. A working lunch will be served. The morning session is a theoretical exploration of some of the contested territories and ideologies of inclusion and the challenges and opportunities it represents to our societies. There will be paper presentations followed by discussions. The afternoon session, by contrast, is a practical, hands-on experience, focused on a specific area, viz. inclusion for the ‘differently abled’ students, in mainstream college education. The format will be an experiential learning workshop, designed to sensitize educators, and to help them cater to the needs of these students. At the end of the day, there will be a discussion to consolidate the learning and to bring out the links between theory and practice. To register for this international programme, send in the following details (name, college/organisation and personal contact number and email) to Genevive at the XDP office, by 20th February 2008. You can call or send an email. Telefax: 22617677 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The registration fee of Rs.200/- is to be paid when you come for the programme on 27/02/2008.

[AI] Music on the net: Groundbreaking software developed
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Thursday, February 14, 2008 : 1140 Hrs Sci. & Tech. Music on the net: Groundbreaking software developed New York (PTI): You like a certain song and want to hear other tracks like it, but don't know how to find them? Well, don't fret. Ending the needle-in-a-haystack problem of searching for music on the Internet is a new audio software. A team of international researchers developed the groundbreaking audio software that could help music lovers jump to the hidden beats the new Mpeg-7 specification will automatically extract and classify audio signals. According to the researchers, such metadata, as it is called, can be used to tag audio files so they can be more accurately picked up by search engines equipped to handle this kind of information. "Such software would be useful not only for delivering a new generation of musical instruments, but also for designing special effects for cinema and TV, or for the management of databases in specific applications, such as sounds of animals, engines and boats," lead researcher Vinet said. Vinet, who is scientific director at the Paris-based Institute for Music/Acoustic Research and Coordination (IRCAM), was part of the team that included researchers from universities in Spain and Israel, along with companies such as Oracle and Sony. The EU-funded project was called Cuidado. The packages they developed consisting of a music browser, an online sound palette and sound authoring software can analyse and index sound according to the digital patterns displayed by each particular song. To do this, the researchers developed a number of techniques for capturing specific qualities from audio files, such as timbre, energy and rhythm. This system goes far beyond the methods used online by the music industry. -- To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] An energy-efficient microchip with myriad uses
Date:14/02/2008 URL: http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/seta/2008/02/14/stories/2008021450051500.htm Sci Tech An energy-efficient microchip with myriad uses Embedded medical devices based on such chips will consume only a tenth of the current power Commercial applications could become available in five years or, perhaps, even sooner A cell phone dying at a crucial moment, a digital camera that warns of low power at a perfect photo opportunity or a laptop inopportunely running out of juice - many of us have had such vexing experiences firsthand. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas Instruments (TI) have designed a chip, ten times more energy-efficient than existing ones, to keep portable devices going longer. Because of the lower power consumption, the batteries of these mobile devices and vital medical implants do not have to be recharged or replaced as frequently as they are now. Although users tend to be excited by new features on gadgets, every additional feature - like the ability to watch video clips or take snapshots on a cell phone - puts a burden on the battery's limited power. Clearly, a new approach to chip design was in order because saddling such portable devices with bigger and better batteries can only take us so far. In such devices, the key to turn down power consumption was the voltage, says Anantha Chandrakasan, Director of MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories and the Joseph F. and Nancy P. Keithley Professor of Electrical Engineering. The longevity of the battery comes from the chip's lower voltage requirement. The operating voltage for circuits on a chip is typically 1 volt but the new chip can operate at just 0.3 volts. An important feature of this new chip's design is a high-efficiency DC-to-DC converter - akin to an in-situ step-down transformer - that slashes the input voltage to one third of its strength. Huge implications Traditionally, the circuits on such chips have been optimised to operate at a supply voltage of around 1 volt. Scaling down the supply voltage has huge implications. Memory and logic circuits had to be redesigned to operate at 0.3 volts, a voltage low enough to disrupt the chip's very functionality, says Chandrakasan, the leader of the chip's re-architecture team. Besides, the team also had to overcome the variability inherent in chip manufacturing. At this lower supply voltage, variations and imperfections in the silicon chip could throw the electronic circuit out of whack; in the binary system what was registered as 1 could become 0 and vice versa. Designing the chip to minimize its vulnerability at the new voltage was a huge challenge. The team demonstrated an ultra-low-power version of TI's MSP430, a widely used microcontroller. "These design techniques show great potential for TI's future low-power integrated circuit products and applications including wireless terminals, battery-operated instrumentation, sensor networks and medical electronics," says Dr. Dennis Buss, chief scientist at Texas Instruments. Networking devices Portable and embedded medical devices, such as hearing aids and retinal implants, communications and networking devices based on such chips will consume only a tenth of the current power. A person who now watches short clips on a cell phone, for instance, can view longer videos without the need to recharge. There could also be a variety of military applications in the production of tiny, self-contained sensor networks that could be dispersed in a battlefield. Eventually, in medical devices the idea is to make the power requirement so low that they could run on 'ambient energy' - using the body's own heat or movement to provide the requisite power. The ultimate goal is to design a generator on a chip, eliminating the need for a battery, says Chandrakasan.

We refer to your letter No. F.3/6/2007-SCT (B) dated 6th November 2007 in the captioned matter. In this connection, we have to advise that the scribes are allowed to help the persons with visual/locomotive impairment to read the question paper and write the answers relating to concerned examinations. Until July 2007, we had allowed scribes on following terms and conditions to assist the visually/locomotor impaired candidates in terms of guidelines issued by the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Disabilities vide letter no. 27– UP(38)/C.C.D/2000/5751 dated 10.05.2000 (Annexure 'A')– 1.. Scribe/Writer must be on grade junior in academic qualification from the candidate. 2.. Scribe/Writer should be one possessing 50% or less marks. 3.. Scribe/Writer should be from academic discipline other than that of the candidate. 4.. Scribe/Writer should be arranged by the candidate at their own cost (discretion has been given to the examining authority). In the meantime, we received a notice from the Dy. Chief Commissioner, In the Court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons With Disabilities on a complaint filed by the National Association for the Blind (Annexure 'B'), wherein the Court took cognizance of raising of the limit for scribes to 60% by some Banks. Earlier, the complainant had requested us to raise/liberalize the criteria on the basis of their letter no. EMP:SVK/2007/64 dated May 15, 2007, wherein they provided us with a copy of Court Order No. PIL No. 129of2003 and Maharashtra Government directives vide circular no. 06-07/2951 dated December 20, 2006 (Annexure ‘C’). The following guidelines have been laid down by the Maharashtra Government therein relating to qualification of a scribe- a) It is desirable that the candidate and the scribe are from the same stream. b) In case the candidate avails the services of his/her own scribe/writer, the scribe/writer should be one grade junior in academic qualification than the candidate if from the same stream. However, this condition shall not apply if the scribe/writer is from a different stream. c) No other restriction should be imposed on the selection of a scribe/writer. It would appear-from the order that the above guidelines are mainly for academic examinations involving streams like Arts, Science and Commerce etc. and are applicable for tests conducted by Maharashtra Government and not for All India tests like our recruitment examinations. On the complaint of National Association for the Blind, the Commission also directed the State Bank of India to appear before it (Annexure 'B'). We appeared before the Commission and put forth our viewpoint and also made our submissions vide our letter no. CRPD/AB/2007/243 dated August 01, 2007 (Annexure 'D'). However, on the advise of the Commission (Annexure 'E'), the Bank agreed to raise the marks stipulation to 60% as an interim measure. In this matter though the Commission has not directed us on any issue in its record of proceedings dated 18th October 2007, we are of the view that our recruitment examinations are of the nature of competitive examinations, which generally covers all streams of educations and it is essential that the scribe possess lesser marks than the candidate. As the minimum graduation marks are usually fixed at 50-55% for SC/ST/PWD candidates, it was appropriate that the scribe should not have more than 50% marks. Secondly, as per the complainant, it is very difficult to get scribes/writer with marks of 50% or less. We do not agree with this. We still strongly believe in the Commission's earlier directives, cited above. The persons with impairment need scribes who can clearly read the question paper arid write the answer as directed by the candidate. For this, the scribe/writer need not be highly qualified. A class X/XII/Intermediate/graduate passed candidate, who is fit and alert, is sufficient for this purpose. This was the substance of our argument placed before the Commission. Submitted for your information. Yours faithfully. General Manager En
Re: [AI] Policy for Examination
I believe the 50% limit (that has been arbitrarily raised to 60%) is completely discriminatory and we should argue to get this removed. The SBI contention to me sounds arbitrary to the extent of being paradoxical in the sense that they believe 50% marks is bad enough that the scribe would not be unduely able to help the candidate while 50% is good enough that the scribe can sufficiently address all the requirements of a scribe. where did this 50% bar come from? different examining bodies have different marking schemes for different educational levels and subjects. e.g. 50% is average marks in arts but even 85% is not good enough in mathematics in class X. The fact that this is suggested by the CCD is all the more unfortunate because CCD would be considered the most scientific source of disability related guidance. However, this 50% guidance is not related to a disabled person. It is related to the ability of an able bodied person acting as the scribe. This guidance, if at all, should come from an education board based on scientifically collected data. I noticed in the RBI guidelines, this limit is not present. The RBI on the other hand places the condition of one and the same scribe to be used for all exams. This again is arbitrary. If preventing cheating is the motive, then an invigilator should be provided (which is already done I guess). These guidelines are wrong in their very intent. The guidelines should be aimed at solving the problem of enabling people with disabilities to integrate with the main stream. These guidelines, on the other hand, intend to set up barriers against cheating and fraud, which is an important but completely different problem. The cheating and fraud guidelines should be a separate broader circular that is mostly common to all candidates. my 2 cents -Manish -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pamnani Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 3:43 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Policy for Examination This is the view of State Bank of India.

If you want to pick one up to make life easier, but find yourself wondering, What type of system do I need? How fast should it be? How much will it cost?, check out our buyers guide, which navigates the tricky terrain of buying a new laptop. A laptop thats light as air Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs holds the MacBook Air, which measures 0.16 inches at its thinnest point, with a 13.3-inch LED backlit widescreen display, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Price starts at Rs 96,100 Pic/AFP Photo For Small Entrepreneur out of home professional Pick> General-purpose laptop Why? Its a catch-all term for mid-range, mainstream laptops. These systems are equally comfortable in the home office and small business environment. What they are about: General-purpose laptops dont cost the earth, have the ability to perform serious office tasks, such as e-mail, spreadsheet work, and work on documents, and have systems that dont get bogged down while multi-tasking. What to expect: They tend to cost from Rs 45,000 to Rs 55,000, and they typically weigh between 2 to 3.2 kg. What to look for: A dual core processor, Microsoft Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional operating system, 512 MB memory, minimum 80 GB hard drive, a mid-range card graphics card, like the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 or 950 GM, dual layer, dual-format DVD/RW optical drive, and a 14.1 to 15.4-inch widescreen. Our pick: Compaq Presario C713TU MRP: Rs 40,550 For Fequent Flyer/mobile Worker Pick > Ultraportable laptop Why? If you are stuck driving in a car all day, or are in air more than your office chair, a 1.5 to 2 kg sturdy ultraportable is perfect. It defies gravity by integrating every laptop component into the smallest frame possible, has a smaller keyboard and smaller screen, but is still efficient enough to do word processing, e-mailing and web surfing. What to expect: Your selection of components is usually limited to low voltage processors, integrated graphics and fewer connectivity ports. They also tend to be expensive, and can cost anything over Rs 55,000. What to look for: Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, 512 MB to 1 GB memory, 40 GB to 80 GB hard drive. Look for laptops with the latest integrated graphics, such as the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 and the 950 GM. You should get at least a combo DVD/CDRW drive. A 12.1-inch screen display is the perfect size. Anything smaller is a strain on the eyes and anything bigger will sacrifice the weight. Two USB ports, a VGA port for external displays, and a Firewire port are musts. Extras: Fingerprint reader, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for added security, additional hard drive protection (accelerometer and rubber protection), and integrated cellular options, like EDGE. Our pick: Sony VAIO VGN-FZ25G or Sony VAIO UX MRP: Rs 69,990 and Rs 99,990 respectively For Fresher Pick > a value laptop Why? Value laptops are inexpensive, hence easy on the wallet of first-timers, and can be configured similarly to last years hot models. What they are about: A Rs 20,000 laptop can search the Web and send e-mails just as well as a Rs 90,000 laptop. What to expect: Value laptops are defined by price. Specifically, they are sub Rs 25,000, tend to be on the heavier side (over 2.25 kg), and a little ho hum in design. What to look for:Intel Core Duo or AMD Turion 64 X2. Dont settle for an Intel Celeron or AMD Sempron processor, Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, 512 MB or more memory, 60 GB hard drive, if available. Ask for an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 or 950 GM card, a combo DVD/CDRW drive, 14.1-inch or larger display. Three to four USB ports, a Firewire port and VGA ports are standard. Our pick: ACER 4315 MRP: Rs 27,000 For Corporate Climber Pick > Business laptop Why? Business laptops are conservative in style and have added security, such as better hard drive protection and TPM security. What they are about: If your job involves commuting between boardroom meetings and offsite locations, their tougher metals and lighter cases will help. What to expect: Business laptops are highly configurable. They can cost anything over Rs 35,000, depending on your requirements. What to look for: Either an Intel Core Duo/Core 2 Duo or AMD Turion 64 X2 processor, Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, 1 GB to 2 GB memory, and a 60 GB to 80 GB hard drive. The display screen should be 12.1 inches or more. Matte screens are preferable. Extras: Fingerprint readers are standard.

[AI] problem with the sound card and the sound quality
Hai mates, I have got a problem. The problem is regarding sound and the quality of it. I use a driver called "real tek AC97". The sound is rather unclear specially while listening to music. I am not quite sure if you can get me, but it sounds as if the speeker has reached its maximum volume despite me not turning the volume to the highest level. one of the questions is why does this happen. the other question is can the driver be changed. and does changing the driver help? hoping you will be able to find an answer, Thanking you in advance regards Ravi Paul To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Writing style
Hai people, I first of all learnt that we should have high standard of english to be a member of this list. While I realise that one needs to communicate clearly, I didn't realise that one would be appalled if a person would commit a mistake. I never knew people would be so discouraging about other's language while calling for a change in the standard of language them self. I think the simple sollution for the language problem is that those who can understand the language should reply and those who cant, should restrain from answering. regards, Ravi Paul On 2/14/08, Ravi Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hai people, > I must first admit that I never knew that we need great english to be > a member of this list. > > I truely > > > On 2/14/08, Rajesh Asudani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > please scrape out rubbish! > > > > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Khem chand > > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 1:04 PM > > To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in > > Subject: Re: [AI] Writing style > > > > hello good after non and happy well in times day forall access india's > teem > > i will be vary aknodge > > - Original Message - > > From: "Viraj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: > > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 9:55 PM > > Subject: Re: [AI] Writing style > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > Please note that nowhere in its guidelines this list emphasises on any > > > particular standard of language to be maintained.

This is the view of State Bank of India. State Bank of India kanchan Central Recruitment & Promotion Department, Corporate Centre, Tulsiani Chambers 1st Floor (West Wing), 212, Free Press Journal Marg, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400021. Tel. No.: 91 - 022 - 2282 O427. Fax: 91 - 022 - 2282 0411. E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under Secretary to the Govt. of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Financial Services, Jeevan Deep, 10, Parliament Street, New Delhi-110001. No. CRPD/AB/2007/891 Dated: November 14, 2007 Dear Sir, Notice of Hearing U/S 63 of The Persons With Disabilities Act 1995 Case No. 3929/2007. We refer to your letter No. F.3/6/2007-SCT (B) dated 6th November 2007 in the captioned matter. In this connection, we have to advise that the scribes are allowed to help the persons with visual/locomotive impairment to read the question paper and write the answers relating to concerned examinations. Until July 2007, we had allowed scribes on following terms and conditions to assist the visually/locomotor impaired candidates in terms of guidelines issued by the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Disabilities vide letter no. 27– UP(38)/C.C.D/2000/5751 dated 10.05.2000 (Annexure 'A')– 1.. Scribe/Writer must be on grade junior in academic qualification from the candidate. 2.. Scribe/Writer should be one possessing 50% or less marks. 3.. Scribe/Writer should be from academic discipline other than that of the candidate. 4.. Scribe/Writer should be arranged by the candidate at their own cost (discretion has been given to the examining authority). In the meantime, we received a notice from the Dy. Chief Commissioner, In the Court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons With Disabilities on a complaint filed by the National Association for the Blind (Annexure 'B'), wherein the Court took cognizance of raising of the limit for scribes to 60% by some Banks. Earlier, the complainant had requested us to raise/liberalize the criteria on the basis of their letter no. EMP:SVK/2007/64 dated May 15, 2007, wherein they provided us with a copy of Court Order No. PIL No. 129of2003 and Maharashtra Government directives vide circular no. 06-07/2951 dated December 20, 2006 (Annexure ‘C’). The following guidelines have been laid down by the Maharashtra Government therein relating to qualification of a scribe- a) It is desirable that the candidate and the scribe are from the same stream. b) In case the candidate avails the services of his/her own scribe/writer, the scribe/writer should be one grade junior in academic qualification than the candidate if from the same stream. However, this condition shall not apply if the scribe/writer is from a different stream. c) No other restriction should be imposed on the selection of a scribe/writer. It would appear-from the order that the above guidelines are mainly for academic examinations involving streams like Arts, Science and Commerce etc. and are applicable for tests conducted by Maharashtra Government and not for All India tests like our recruitment examinations. On the complaint of National Association for the Blind, the Commission also directed the State Bank of India to appear before it (Annexure 'B'). We appeared before the Commission and put forth our viewpoint and also made our submissions vide our letter no. CRPD/AB/2007/243 dated August 01, 2007 (Annexure 'D'). However, on the advise of the Commission (Annexure 'E'), the Bank agreed to raise the marks stipulation to 60% as an interim measure. In this matter though the Commission has not directed us on any issue in its record of proceedings dated 18th October 2007, we are of the view that our recruitment examinations are of the nature of competitive examinations, which generally covers all streams of educations and it is essential that the scribe possess lesser marks than the candidate. As the minimum graduation marks are usually fixed at 50-55% for SC/ST/PWD candidates, it was appropriate that the scribe should not have more than 50% marks. Secondly, as per the complainant, it is very difficult to get scribes/writer with marks of 50% or less. We do not agree with this. We still strongly believe in the Commission's earlier directives, cited above. The persons with impairment need scribes who can clearly read the question paper arid write the answer as directed by the candidate. For this, the scribe/writer need not be highly qualified. A class X/XII/Intermediate/graduate passed candidate, who is fit and alert, is sufficient for this purpose. This was the substance of our argument placed before the Commission. Submitted for your information. Yours faithfully. General Manager Encl: as above. \\ABHlJEET\avijit\Clcrical Rect\Commission.doc2 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER FOR DISABILITIES (

[AI] Six Mobile Devices Based on S60
Six Mobile Devices Based on S60 News Staff At the ongoing Mobile World Congress, Nokia, LG, and Samsung have together announced six new mobile devices based on S60 third edition. Nokia has announced four devices, including the Nokia N96, N78, Nokia 6220 Classic, and Nokia 6210 Navigator. Meanwhile, LG Electronics and Samsung have announced one device each: the LG-KT610 and the Samsung G810. First the successor to the Nokia N95, the dual-slide N96, is optimized for video and television, and packs a 2.8-inches screen, 16GB of internal memory, and support for high-quality videos in a wide range of formats. It is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008. The N78 is a multimedia computer, and combines music, navigation, and photography with mobility. Expected to start shipping during the second quarter of 2008, the device is designed to take advantage of the new suite of services, including Music Store, Maps, and Share on Ovi, which was also announced at the event. The Nokia 6220 Classic is a full-featured device that combines a 5 mega pixels camera with A-GPS functionality. Users can take high quality images and videos which can be snapped, tagged, edited, and shared online, phone-to-phone, or even viewed on TV. The list of four phones also includes the Nokia 6210 Navigator, which is the company's first GPS-enabled mobile device with an integrated compass for pedestrian guidance. It packs Nokia Maps 2.0, also announced at the event, and includes full voice- and visual- turn by turn guidance at no extra cost. The Nokia 6220 Classic and the 6210 Navigator are expected to start shipping in the third quarter of 2008. Of the remaining two S60 devices, the LG-KT610 is a GPS-enabled candy bar with a 2.4-inches VGA flip screen holding a PC-like Qwerty keypad; while the Samsung G810 is a multimedia device featuring a 5 mega pixels camera and Wi-Fi connectivity among others. Both the LG-KT610 and the Samsung G810 have HSDPA connectivity at 3.6 Mbps, allowing users to enjoy multimedia features at higher data download speeds. With the launch of the six new devices, the total number of S60 devices launched has increased to 73. Nokia claims that S60 software built on Symbian OS has already shipped on more smart phones than any other platform. Over 150 million S60 devices had cumulatively been shipped by the end of January 2008, and over a third of these are S60 3rd Edition. 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox.

[AI] (Tech Dose of the Day) Google Web Toolkit
Google Web Toolkit contributor : Baskar P from Media&Entertainment Vertical Initiative Team (MphasiS Software Services) What is Google Web Toolkit? Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java development framework that lets you escape the matrix of technologies that make writing AJAX applications so difficult and error prone. With GWT, you can develop and debug AJAX applications in the Java language using the Java development tools of your choice. When you deploy your application to production, the GWT compiler translates your Java application to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. Here's the GWT development cycle: 1. Use your favorite Java IDE to write and debug an application in the Java language, using as many (or as few) GWT libraries as you find useful. 2. Use GWT's Java-to-JavaScript compiler to distill your application into a set of JavaScript and HTML files that you can serve with any web server. 3. Confirm that your application works in each browser that you want to support, which usually takes no additional work. Components:- The major GWT components include: 1. GWT Java-to-JavaScript Compiler Translates the Java programming language to the JavaScript programming language. 2. GWT Hosted Web Browser Allows the developers to run and execute GWT applications in hosted mode (the app runs as Java in the JVM without compiling to JavaScript). 3. JRE emulation library JavaScript implementations of the commonly used classes in the Java standard class library (such as most of the java.lang package classes and a subset of the java.util package classes). 4. GWT Web UI class library A set of custom interfaces and classes for creating widgets. Features:- Dynamic and reusable UI Components: programmers can use pre-designed classes to implement otherwise time-consuming dynamic behaviors, such as drag-and-drop or sophisticated visual tree structures, Simple RPC mechanism, Browser history management and Support for full-featured Java debugging. GWT handles all cross-browser issues for the developer such as JUnit integration, Easy internationalization, etc. The developers can mix handwritten JavaScript in the Java source code using the JavaScript Native Interface (JSNI). Support for using Google APIs in GWT applications (initially, support for Google Gears) Open-source. The developers can design and develop their application in a pure object-oriented fashion, since they're using Java (instead of JavaScript). Common JavaScript errors (such as typos and type mismatches are caught at compile time. JavaScript that the GWT compiler generates is quite obfuscated or very difficult to read, which provide the application with some security and protection of proprietary material. A number of libraries are available for GWT, by Google and third parties. These extend GWTs features. Criticism:- GWT compiles JavaScript and HTML from Java bytecode. This model will in most scenarios create much larger JavaScript and HTML than what is possible to achieve with solutions where the JavaScript Widgets handcoded from before and is thought of rather as an API than as a "compiler result". An alternative way of creating an Ajax framework with "no-JavaScript pain capability" is to think of the browser as a purely rendering mechanism for predefined widgets and send messages from the server to those widgets and vice versa. Available Widgets:- As of version 1.4 (August 2007), GWT offers several widgets: HTML primitives (Button, Radio Button, Checkbox, TextBox, PasswordTextBox, TextArea, Hyperlink, ListBox, Table etc.), PushButton, ToggleButton, MenuBar, Tree, TabBar, DialogBox, Panels (PopupPanel, StackPanel, HorizontalPanel, VerticalPanel, FlowPanel, VerticalSplitPanel, HorizontalSplitPanel, DockPanel, TabPanel, DisclosurePanel), RichTextArea, SuggestBox (auto-complete). Many common widgets not found in the GWT have been implemented in third-party libraries, such as GWTiger, GWT Widget Library, GWT Component Library, Rocket GWT, GWT-Ext etc. Further References Google Web Toolkit: http://www.openajax.org/whitepapers/Ajax%20and%20Mashup%20Security.html#Mashups Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Web_Toolkit Why delete messages?
