Re: [AI] Swami vivekanand's speech.
Actually first recording in India was done by Shashi Mukhi in Kolkata in 1903. At 10:20 PM 09-10-09, you wrote: 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.

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.

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, regards. ashish - Original Message - From: prateek aggarwal prateekagarwa...@gmail.com To: accessindia accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 6:44 PM 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?

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 ?

Re: [AI] distributing books
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. -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amar Jain Sent: 10 October 2009 04:04 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in 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.

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, regards. ashish - Original Message - From: prateek aggarwal prateekagarwa...@gmail.com To: accessindia accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 6:44 PM 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.

Re: [AI] Swami vivekanand's speech.
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.

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.

[AI] Microsoft offers free virus protection
The Hindu : Sci-Tech / Internet : Microsoft offers free virus protection 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. To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
