Re: [AI] Swami vivekanand's speech.

Actually first recording in India was done by Shashi Mukhi in Kolkata in 1903.

Hello,

I once saw the cd. Is it possible that Swamiji Vivekananda's speech 
was recorded when recording was at an early stage? And if so, why 
was it not published so long? As far as I know, the first-ever 
recording in Kolkata was done in 1906. Swamiji died in 1902. If we 
take for granted, the recording was done abroad, he returned from 
his tour of America and Europe in 1897. Perhaps our friends studying 
or teaching history may enlighten us better.


I shall download it, of course. Thank you for the upload.

Re: [AI] distributing books

2009-10-10 Thread Amar Jain
Intellectuals,

Would not comment on laws and other things which you are discussing.
I had a talk with an author recently, and the same question was put forth in 
front of me. How will you ensure that our E-copies are not going to used for 
distributing via piracy related sources?

Good question, I understand their rights too, so uptill now the only solution 
which I know is like this. Here comes the development or technical part of my 
mail.

Every publisher has its own website which enables us to place order. Now we get 
e-copy via whatever mode. Some of them send us the link to download, or some 
send in cd.
Now question of protection.

What I saw that one of the institute for law entrance koachings, (Prime Tutor 
www.primetutor.com),
was distributing the solutions of all the previous years papers of major 
colleges in software form.

What they did was they took our machine's number, then generated a user name 
and password by which we can access the software.
Drawback of this system: After you format system, You have to request them 
again for generating user name and password.

I am not saying that still piracy can not be done say what if person after 
entering into software coppies the data and paste it someware for distribution?

But generally people won't do that provided that they have the zeal to pay 
money if its afortable.
So what if publishers develop some system like this for PDF or Documents?
I think this is the only way to secure such documents.
Regards
Amar Jain.

no, we can not and must not do this, following laws of our own interior? 
well I think it is the most dangerous thing, because then no one will follow 
any law. and situation will go out of hand. when we talk about not following 
laws that does not limit us to books only. that can endanger your right to 
live also, so this path should not be adopted. I think first of all we 
should start an awareness campaign like right to read we should take part 
in such awareness activities, and secondly help each other by providing 
books, but we should also take care that books should stay in Visually 
impaired community. I know this is very difficult and next to impossible but 
I think until nothing happens we have no other choice. and please note 
distributing books freely is not going to create awareness but it will 
create a bad image for us. so need of this time is to create awareness in 
publishers and talk with ministers and government officers. take care,

Subject: Re: [AI] distributing books


I don’t know where this  thread  is onwarding to us, as the matter
being so sensitive and more then 1000 listers and their 10 views,
seems  that it’s enough for anyone to get boggled.
I’m wondering why we are still in contention on the legality  and
illegality  of books sharing, as we all somewhat concur about the
errors in our existing laws.
dear  intellectuals, can’t we just forget about the laws created by
state and follow the laws of our interior in this matter.
I agree to subramani sir, that if it really wounds the hearts of
authors, let them come with objections.
And, if it doesn’t, we have two options left I.E. either to continue
with the same process or  to redirect ourselves to the old era of
gawky life.
Rajesh sir,, hundred percent agreed that Authors and publishers are
not at all going to feel the need for making the materials accessible
until they feel a pinch in their pockets by mass distributions of
their copyrighted works amongst the disabled.

The problem is, that even though the books are converted and shared on
a good large basis now, yet I  don’t remember any author standing
against it.
Seriously, I want this message to reach to the right ears and let them
resist it. for sure they can resist only if they having better
alternative, which means agreeing to provide accessible coppies to us.

I’ve no problem if the publishers and authors agrees to provide
accessible coppies on their  original prize,  but as the delhi seems
too far from now, let’s continue the same and waite for that golden
day.
 In fact, let’s enlarge the sharing, so that we can at least make them
awake first.

As per is giving the responsibility of distributions to major welfare
organization is concern, can you guaranty that the blind  persons who
have  received the books won’t share it with any non print disables?
Ok, let me confess here, I’ve already shared a number of programming
books with my cited counterparts.
Then? who guaranties the  legal distribution?
About the Gandhi, if  I’m correct, he has affirmed “work by your own”
and theory of “ramrajya” which meant to follow your own

to use the standard view, internet explorer is the best.
or else it will keep disturbing.
to use  standard view using the firefox, you have to the older
standard view, by clicking on the link, called older version.
it'll be difficult to find it, since firefox jaws will keep disturbing you.

   Folks,



 I wish to bring to your urgent attention the case of a Govt employee
 from Kerala's Health Dept, who went blind recently, facing termination
 and not knowing  how to proceed.  He lost his vision recently and is
 facing harassment from his colleagues at the Primary Health Centre that
 he works in, including not being permitted to sign on the roster.



 He used to take his wife along to the office for assisting him, but,
 even this has not been permitted.  The DMO has been telling him to
 present himself before a Medical Board to prove his physical fitness and
 take voluntary retirement if and when his disability is proved.



 He has given representations to the Commissioner for PWD at
 Thiruvananthapuram, but, there has been no response.  When the DMO was
 shown the relevant clauses of the PwD Act, he was told that the
 protection available to a person acquiring a disability while in service
 will not be applicable to his cadre (I understand he works as an
 assistant at the PHC). .



 Now, he has been asked to present himself before the Medical Board next
 Tuesday.  On earlier occasions, he has avoided this by taking sick
 leave.  This time, he is in a dilemma as the pressure is mounting on him
 to accept his disability and quit.



 It may be noted that he has not yet  gotten himself a disability
 certificate and hence theoretically  not yet a disabled person as per
 his official records.



 Pls share your views on the courses of action available to him,
 including for the immediate term.



 The moot question is, can he present himself before the Medical Board
 and let himself be declared disabled (or as they would term it,
 physically unfit for work) ?  Is it time for him to challenge the
 departmental harassment in Court ?  Or, should he wait for response from
 the CPWD, considering he gave his representation only a month back ?



 Looking forward to your advice at the earliest...



 Thanks and rgds

Re: [AI] distributing books

2009-10-10 Thread Dinesh Kaushal
Secured PDF is not accessible for now.

We can use acrobat reader to read ordinary pdf files, but when we want to
read secured pdf files, we would need something called AdobeR Digital
editions, which is not accessible. Alternatively We need to use acrobat
reader v7, which does not work properly on vista. Then there is a problem
that some authors disable text to speech in their secured PDF files.
Probably, they do not understand its use so they disable it as a safeguard.

One solution is that publishers adopt EPub format which has digital rights
management as well. But I don't know which software can be used to read such
files.

The best solution would be to target large ebook publishers such as Amazon,
since their scale is large, they would have to provide properly accessible
book readers. Currently, Amazon's kindle reader is expensive (Rs. 13000),
but with time the cost should go down. Kindle also has text to speech which
is not great, but it should improve with time. if one purchases Kindle, one
would instantly be able to purchase any book out of 2 lakh books. And the
time for all this? They claim a minute. But there is a caveat. An author may
choose to disable text to speech function, as some of the authors think that
their audio book sail could have a hit due to text to speech function. May
be with time, Amazon would come up with a method that text to speech can not
be disabled for print impaired readers. 

In the long run, large scale readers will trump the efforts of special need
solutions. So our best bet could be to make sure that these readers are more
and more accessible. Another point, ebooks are cheaper than hard copies as
of now.

Subject: Re: [AI] distributing books

Intellectuals,

Would not comment on laws and other things which you are discussing.
I had a talk with an author recently, and the same question was put forth in
front of me. How will you ensure that our E-copies are not going to used
for distributing via piracy related sources?

Good question, I understand their rights too, so uptill now the only
solution which I know is like this. Here comes the development or technical
part of my mail.

Every publisher has its own website which enables us to place order. Now we
get e-copy via whatever mode. Some of them send us the link to download, or
some send in cd.
Now question of protection.

What I saw that one of the institute for law entrance koachings, (Prime
Tutor www.primetutor.com),
was distributing the solutions of all the previous years papers of major
colleges in software form.

What they did was they took our machine's number, then generated a user name
and password by which we can access the software.
Drawback of this system: After you format system, You have to request them
again for generating user name and password.

I am not saying that still piracy can not be done say what if person after
entering into software coppies the data and paste it someware for
distribution?

But generally people won't do that provided that they have the zeal to pay
money if its afortable.
So what if publishers develop some system like this for PDF or Documents?
I think this is the only way to secure such documents.

Amar Jain.

no, we can not and must not do this, following laws of our own interior? 
well I think it is the most dangerous thing, because then no one will follow

any law. and situation will go out of hand. when we talk about not following

laws that does not limit us to books only. that can endanger your right to 
live also, so this path should not be adopted. I think first of all we 
should start an awareness campaign like right to read we should take part 
in such awareness activities, and secondly help each other by providing 
books, but we should also take care that books should stay in Visually 
impaired community. I know this is very difficult and next to impossible but

I think until nothing happens we have no other choice. and please note 
distributing books freely is not going to create awareness but it will 
create a bad image for us. so need of this time is to create awareness in 
publishers and talk with ministers and government officers. take care,

Re: [AI] Swami vivekanand's speech.

2009-10-10 Thread Amiyo Biswas

Hello,

I made a little more enquiry about it. Gauhar Jaan was the first to record a 
song in Kolkata 1902. It does not clarify my doubt though. Swami Vivekananda 
died in June, 1902. Is it plausible that somebody arranged recording of 
Swami Vivekananda's speech in Chicago in 1893 or later someone recorded his 
speech in Kkolkata before his death in 1902?


One of our friends on this list, Mr. Arup Chakraborty, informed me over 
phone that, according to Shankari Prasad Basu, a noted biographer of 
Swamiji, wrote that his voice was recorded by a maharaja (probably of 
Mysore) in his private studio in wax record. But that record is not 
available any longer. I also don't understand, if Swamiji's speeches were 
recorded, why did not anyone publish it within 100 years of his death?


Please write to the Listener's Club for information. I hope, the voice is 
genuine. I only want to make sure.


Best regards,
Amiyo Biswas.

was done in 1906. Swamiji died in 1902. If we take for granted, the

in 1897. Perhaps our friends studying or teaching history may enlighten us 
better.

Berlin, October 11, 2009

DPA
AP Microsoft logo is seen on the new France branch office of Microsoft in 
Issy-Les-Moulineaux,next to Paris. File Photo: AP
Microsoft has created an anti-virus pogramme for free download: Microsoft 
Security Essentials.

Along with virus protection, the programme also works to keep other cyber 
threats from ever accessing a computer, such as spyware and Trojan horses. 
Downloads are available at www.microsoft.com.

Registration is not necessary.

German computer magazine c't reviewed an advance copy of the programme. It 
looks like this programme offers good basic protection, said the magazine's 
Daniel Bachfeld. A final say depended upon the performance of the version 
ultimately released.

This is not the world's first free anti-virus programme. AVG Anti-Virus and 
AntiVir from Avira are already available. Bachfeld says AVG's programmes also 
warn users away from suspicious websites.

But not every function offered by an anti-virus programme is actually needed. 
For example, most contemporary browsers already block phishing sites.
