[AI] Information about RSS
Hi friends I have collected this information from the Site stated below http://www.it-director.com/info/rss_feeds.php What is RSS? An RSS feed is a summary of the most recently updated content on a website, with links to go directly to any content you're interested in reading in greater detail. If you don't currently use RSS, you will probably be used to visiting several different websites to check whether they have been updated with new content you're interested in. With RSS, you would let a program check those websites automatically, see at a glance a summary of the latest stories on each, and read more on any of them with just one click. There are several ways of receiving RSS feeds, and the technology is moving forwards and adapting very quickly. The main method is to download a program called a 'reader' or 'aggregator'. You can then set up this program to receive RSS information and browse headlines and story summaries without opening a full connection to the originating website. Alternatively, some newer web browsers offer similar functionality already built-in which will detect whether the website you are viewing offers an RSS feed and will then let you create a constantly-updated list of links in your 'bookmarks' menu. How to set up RSS If you're new to RSS, you can set yourself up to start using RSS feeds in two easy steps: list of 3 items 1. Firstly, you need to download and install a piece of Feed Reader software. There are many to choose from but all do the basic essentials that you'll need to get started. After that, like any software, it's just about personal preference as to which one you prefer using. To begin with, we'd recommend choosing a free feed reader from the 2. Once your reader software is downloaded and installed on your computer, you will be prompted to add feeds to it that you want to check. Look for the "Add Feed" option in the reader software and click on it. You will then be asked for the "Location" or "URL" of the feed. Simply cut and paste any RSS address from our list below. You'll only need to add the feed to your reader once; it will then remember the address and fetch new articles whenever the feed is updated. 3. The feed reader program will then check for the latest stories in the feed and update your software accordingly, depending on your settings, the software should then automatically check for updates at regular intervals. -- Bes Regards Mohith B.

[AI] Banking facilities to the visually challenged
Dear Rajesh and all The highlights of the salient points emerging out of the circular are: 1 RBI recognises the reasons put forth by the banks not giving us banking services as a discriminatory practise. 2 RBI considers the problem to be widespread and not an isolated incidence and hence the need of the circular 3 RBI considers the blind compenent enough to possess all the legal rights to contract These are by no means insignificant and we are now armed with a good club to take on the discriminatory and whimsically practises by the banks. When last year I had met officials of IBA and 2 departments at RBI, they were not aware that the blind persons were getting a raw deal. It was good that our members made complaints to the 2 departments and brought the realisation amongst the officials that the problem was not isolated. Kanchan's magic spell and Sam's backup support made this all this possible. Despite this circular, if the banks continue to act whimsical, we should not buckle and take it to its logical end. We have moved in a long way forward and there should and there be no looking back. Harish.

Re: [AI] your thoughts on braille
Yes, there's no substitute for braille like there's no substitute for hard and smart work. Moreover, it would be a foolish idea to differentiate braille from modern, and 'cutting edge' technology, as both have till now, and will perform a front-foot contribution to our growth in the days to follow.

Re: [AI] Information about Ultra cane
good morning sir here is the info about it hoe that it would be useful thanks UltraCane the next generation of mobility aid UltraCane the next generation of mobility aid UltraCane gives you the confidence to stride forward, knowing where the obstacles are ahead.A mobilityaid that gives you enough informations about your surroundings to help you make decisions quickly and naturally! The ultrasound equipment and sensors are built in the handle of the cane. Two small buttons are connected to the two sensors and will show any obstacles by vibrations (which also differ to indicate the distance). The two sensors point in differnet ways, ensuring that obstacles right in your way are as well indicated as obstacles in your head and chest area (like the rear view mirrors of a bus for example). With the UltraCane, you have the opportunity to benefi t from information in a meaningful way. Its reliance on touch, rather than beeps, as a source of information for you means that you are free to listen to all the other sounds in the area. You will fi nd yourself building up a spatial map, and becoming aware of your surroundings and any dangers there, at a subconscious level. In other words, with no effort at all. After a short period of teaching your brain will recognise what the new stimuli mean. You'll be able to switch on the UltraCane and use it, just as you would an ordinary long white cane, providing a greater source of information about your surroundings. UltraCane is extremely easy to handle and will only need a short training period. The folding cane itself is covered with refl ective foil, withstands considerable use and folds into 4 pieces. It can be customised to suit your style and height and you can choose from different lenghts from 110 cm (43 in) to 150 cm (59 in) and can be equipped with your preferred tip.

Re: [AI] banking facilities to the visually challenged
The cases of denial by banks I have heard are mostly not because someone is blind, but because one can't sign. I know several blind persons with all those facilities only because they could sign.

Re: [AI] Bingo! We have it from the horse's mouth.
Hello Nafisa, Thank you very much for the information you have sent to the group members. It's indeed a good news for all the visually impaired persons.

Re: [AI] your thoughts on braille
Hi Adding to the thread, a Braille keyboard does not exclude us from the mainstream, in the other hand it is inclusive in scope, for the keyboard output gets into the common bus and is accessible to all. Basically the Braille keyboard requires just 6 keys and about 10 keys to use it more efficiently. Even then it can actually be a small device. The status of Braille is somewhat like the morse code, on the decline but still kicking lively, driven by passion.

[AI] a biodata of one of our members
Here is a brief bio data of one of our members, Mr. Rajan R. R. He is too timid to post his bio data and so, I am doing this proud job on behalf of him . Renuka. A BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OF THE CANDIDATE HIGHLIGHTING HIS STRUGGLE AGAINST THE DISADVANTAGE CREATED BY HIS DISABILITY. I was born on 5th December 1962 as a seeing child became visually impaired in the year of 1969, when I was studying in the second standard. I was admitted in the Govt. School for the Blind Kasargode and passed secondary education (SSLC) in 1982. I successfully completed Pre-Degree from Sir. SAID College Kannur and BA in History from Payyannur College Kannur. I have also successfully completed 'Diploma in Teaching the Blind' in1985 from Blind Boys Academy (BBA), Sree Rama Krishna Mission Asramam, Narendrapur, West Bengal. PROFESSIONAL I worked as Guidance and Counselor 1987 - 1988 under Department of Social Welfare, Govt. of India. I was posted as Assistant Teacher in the Schools for the Visually Impaired Students at Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram for the period from 27/07/1988 to 15/06/2004. On promotion I have worked as the Headmaster in the Govt. School for the Blind Olassa, Kottayam for the period from 16/06/2004 to 27/07/2005. Then I was promoted as Deputy Director, Office of the Director of Public Instruction, Thiruvananthapuram. Now I am working as Deputy Director IEDC in the above mentioned Office in which I am the first blind person reaching into this highest post in the history of Kerala and may be in India too. During the period of my career I have gained my Masters Degree in Political Science and B.Ed in Social Science. I have also received the under mentioned Awards. 1. State Award for the most efficient Physically Disabled Employee, Govt. of Kerala for the year 2002. 2. National Award from the Excellency President of India for the year 2004 - Given in Public Recognition of valuable services to the community as a Teacher of Outstanding Merit. 3. Award on an appreciation and recognition of the meritorious and selfless service in professional and social field from the Rotary International. As a Social Worker, I was elected as Secretary of Kerala Federation of the Blind for two tenures. I was the State President of the Students and Teachers Forum of the same organization which is the self help movement of the Visually Impaired in Kerala. It may be noted that this organization has been selected as the best organization in India for dedicated service for the Blind. I have conducted many eye camps all over Kerala, Integrated Education Camps, Vocational Study Camp for Disabled, survey of the disabled, medical camps, seminars and medical camps for the disabled, Blind welfare celebrations throughout the State during the last 26 years. Most of the camps were for physically disabled students. At present being the Deputy Director, I could conduct a survey and identified 47725 students with 40% and above disability. Moreover all these students have been given financial assistance as per guidelines from M.H.R.D. Such attempts and assistance were very few and rare earlier. Having faced the hardship of a handicapped student I was able to sensitize similar hardships faced by the disabled students and this enabled and motivated to me to strike hard and work for obtaining help to the challenged students. Now I have been nominated by the State Government as one of the Directors of the Kerala State Handicapped Persons Welfare Corporation. Journalists, Press Media, Channels, AIR, My Higher Officers, Colleagues and Administrative staff have given me maximum support to work in the field of Education and Rehabilitation and prevention of Disability. I have attended many workshops for the disabled in the out of State and Kerala and attended Academic courses under DPEP and SSA. As part of improving my efforts I have now completed M.Phil in Political Science also. I ensure that with my ability and talent I will dedicate my life and service for the uplift of the disabled community, especially the students and youth. Details of outstanding professional achievements I have an experience of 19 years as Teacher, Headmaster in special school and Deputy Director of inclusive education for the disabled children. During my career I have visited uncountable number of houses especially in the poverty level to find out the disabled children to help them to reach the main stream. Some of my students are now working as lecturer in Universities, and Teacher in Schools etc. I had taken maximum effort to conduct parental awareness programme, eye camps, guidance and counseling and also admitted hundred of blind children in special schools. As an officer I could achieve a lot now, more than 48,000 disabled st
Re: [AI] banking facilities to the visually challenged
Rajesh and others, Just like to clarify the whole matter. I met Mrs. Usha Thorat, Deputy Governor and Kaza Sudhakra, Cheif General Manager on Monday 2nd June and discussed the entire matter with them in detail. It took nearly 2 hours.Mrs. Thorat read out the draft circular and I suggested some modifications. We also discussed the problem with currency notes and coins. The RBI understands our problems and is working towards resolving them one at a time. This circular is just the first step. Any visually challenged person can show this circular to a troublesome bank manager and demand his rights. I too know that unless the procedure is spelt out the banks will still give us trouble. I am drafting the details on the issues that I had raised in my mail last week. I am meeting Mr. Sinor ,Chairman of Indian Banks Association, on Monday 9th June and shall revert to this group after the meeting. If I get a chance i will circulate the memorandum tomorrow or on Monday for your comments. Thanks to all who have suffered at the hands of the banks and those who have given me their inputs.

[AI] banking facilities to the visually challenged
Surely, the development is positive and we must congratulate ourselves for it. However, I do not see any reason for jubilance for a multiplicity of reasons: firstly, it has taken long long time to come, 45 days mentioned in CCPD judgment have long since been over! Secondly, it is merely a brief circular stating perfunctorily what is contained in several petitions without delving into the spirit of matter. Thirdly, seeing the scant respect for laws and bye laws in our country, I can only hope to cite it as a source of my demands being supported on paper by the regulator! and derive moral comfort from it!!! Fourthly and importantly, it merely contains the general statement of providing all the banking facility and eschews any detailed guidelines for various facilities, refering to IBA guidelines in pursuance of CCPD judgment which are, to say the least, archaic in nature. Fifthly, it has the potential to create contradictions between what it purpotedly gives and mode of realization for which it refers to earlier guidelines, adding to already prevalent confusion. For instance, it says that banks have to provide cheque books including third party cheques, which is explicitly [or at least interpretatively] denied in ccpd judgment. The true remedy lies inenumerating detailed guidelines for availing facilities, and we must keep on pressing for it. RBI/IBA has to issue fresh guidelines in light of present circular. The battle is far from won. Yes, the circular must be praised for recognizing legal equality of visually impaired persons, but, alas, there is many a slip between the cup and the lip!! The era of individual banks following their sweet will in denying/allowing their facilities to VI, has to be ended, and the present circular is a small step towards it, which has to be followed to its logical conclusion. I remember chairman of LIC having proclaimed a few days ago, that the primier insurance agency does not at all discriminate in giving insurance to disabled including blind May This circular not proove to be one more such tentalising illusion! We must work to have it implemented and letter and spirit for which universal and fresh guidelines are the need of the hour!!!

Re: [AI] your thoughts on braille
Hi all, This is my personal feeling on issue of using Braille. In era of technology and internet; assistive technology empowers us to communicate with our peers, colleague, friends, family members, etc. instantly and enable us to remain competitive with the sighted community. Assistive technology breaks barrier of acquiring and sharing information. Braille is mostly used as mode of internal communications and assistive technology enables you to communicate internally and externally. Today technology enable me to carry out bank transactions, read newspaper and magazines, plan my vacation, choosing out my favorite restaurants and of course booking my film ticket without the help of sighted assistance. However; I don't want to totally discount Braille. I strongly feel that Braille also plays a vital role such as marking your CD, files, tactual map, notes while giving presentation where laptop is not feasible, etc. I am not a very fast and good Braille reader but I certainly wish that my Braille skills was also fine tuned. Assistive technology would be more and more advance as years would pass by and prove very liberating but definitely not would be able to replace Braille or completely vanish Braille.
