Re: [AI] RSS agrigator
aren't you comfortable with the inbuilt RSS feature in Firefox? I ask as I find it largely comfortable and accessible; I don't know, however, what advantages RSS aggregator have over the inbuilt feature in a few of the browsers. Could you tell me a few of them? Obviously there should be greater control in those software?

Re: [AI] I'm Blind--and I'm a Good Mother
How true it is about the assumption that someone with disability cannot be leading a normal life. One of the questions I have to tackle is how, despite being blind and therefore incapable of reading anything printed, I remain a writer. Well, the logic of that beats my wit and I had to pause for a long moment to explain how I work. Funny but also frustrating since it is hard to demystify certain strong assumptions.

Kindly spare time to read this message in which, I explained my struggle for justice for several years, still justice not done to me. I here by giving history of struggle for justice. My name is sudarsanan. I am visually impaired person (partially blind) and aged about 42 years. I completed my diploma in mechanical engineering in 1991 and diploma in refrigeration and air conditioning in 1997. I suffered genetic problem of retinitis pigmentosa in both eye during the period of End of 1980's (on set of disability is from 1983 as per medical panel report of vocational rehabilitation center for handicapped by govt of India photocopy of report with me). They issued ID card in 1993. I registered as a partially blind in special employment exchange for handicapped in 1992. I took technical teaching line as an instructor (junior training officer) to teach in mechanical related trades like A/C mechanic, fitter, turners extra in private ITI. This private ITI is approved by director general of employment and training, New Delhi, under union ministry of labour. I am working in this type of different institution from 1994. This post comes under the group C. In December 8, 2000 government of Tamil nadu announcing the recruitment of 237 junior training officer post in government run industrial training institutes by diploma holders on the basis of seniority in employment exchanges. This was published in THE HINDU newspaper on 9-12-2000. As per equal opportunities of people with disability act 1995 they should give 3% for handicapped persons that is 1% for ortho 1% for hearing impaired 1% for visually impaired which means two posts must be allocated for visually handicapped persons. I approached the appointing authority of above said post director of employment and training through the letter in 9 January 2001 and approaching state commissioner for disabled for help. Disable commissioner recommend my name for the post through his letter to appointing authority (copy of that letter is sent to me). But they didn't respond to me so, I sent advocate notice to him and district employment officer for handicapped. After that they stating that allotted 6 post for physically handicapped is sponsored up to 1985, your seniority comes only 1992 because of that you are not considered for sponsoring. But they didn't answer how many visually handicapped persons appointed? So I approach madras high court for justice by filing writ petition in 2001 History of First writ petition dismissal on 2001: It was dismissed because of the technical ground that petitioners not challenge the lack of seniority reason of the government side reply so that writ petition is not sustainable and petitioner given liberty file another writ petition. Following is the main lines in the judgment. Though the petitioner has filed the above writ petition seeking to issue a writ of mandamus directing the first respondent to include the petitioner's name in the list of the eligible candidates for providing employment as Junior Training Officer in Government Industrial Training Institutes as per the announcement published on 9.12.2000 in 'The Hindu' dated 9.12.2000, the petitioner's request had already been rejected by the respondents on certain grounds. Hence, the petitioner without challenging that order, cannot sustain the prayer sought for in this writ petition. The petitioner is at liberty to challenge those orders by filing a separate writ petition. Giving such liberty, the writ petition is dismissed In view of my financial position, I'm not able to file another writ petition. In such situation one advocate firm comes to help me with the help of that firm I filed second writ petition in 2003, before filing second writ petition another advocate notice is send, it clearly ask how many visual impaired persons are appointed. History of second writ petition dismissal on 2004 It was again dismissed on petitioner does not able to clear what statutory provision, the petitioner have, irrespective of seniority employment officer side bound to sponsored him? Following is the main lines in the judgment. The impugned order is put in issue by the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner is entitled to preference under section 33 of the persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full

I usually prefer VLC for video playbvacks and as my mate Amar has rightly pointed out that it does have some accessibility issues with Jaws, there are few control keys which are pretty much adequate for normal playbacks, such as: Ctrl + right arrow = Forward Ctrl + left arrow = rewind Spacebar = Pause/play S = Stop Ctrl + up arrow + volume increase ctrl + down arrow = volume decrease Note :- The keys for volume up and down dont work with Jaws activated , so that gets a bit tricky but apart from that I find VLC much stable than WMP.

All said and done, I cannot appreciate the point of handicapped or more appropriately disabled coach being placed at anywhere else than in the middle of the train, and more so it being not vestibuled The coach being placed always on the engine side is impractical as railways can hardly be expected to shunt it every time. Besides, on the engine side, there is no guard. The deployment of police force thing also is not appealing to me, as it is hardly feasible to employ RPF personnel in a non-vestibuled coach placed at extremes. If the coach is in the middle, say, in train of 24 bogies, if it is vestibuled at 12/13 position, then it will be possible for patrolling RPF personnel to keep a vigil on it. Besides, it can be easily located and boarded by disabled passengers as being in the approximate middle position. Even if unauthorized passengers are likely to board it as if feared, they can be easily shifted to other coaches as the coach is vestibuled, and help can be easily obtained to do so even by pulling the chain. If the coach is in the extremes as is the case, unauthorized passengers still board it, and they are mostly with general ordinary tickets. You can do nothing about it as no help is forthcoming in an unconnected coach.

Hi Harish, the suggestions are very valid and I thank you for the same. The same are being included in the demands. Hi Rajesh, the point is well taken and will surely be included. The reasoning that was given was of Railways from their point of view of perceptible implementation issues. The disability sector has always been opposed to any exclusionary practices - more so for those who have no mobility impairments. Even those with mobility impairments have been asking for inclusive services but often when it is a general coach, the physically disabled get marginalized so the reserved exclusive half coach was considered as an option. The point is taken in its right spirit and is well in sync with the prevailing moods and philosophy of inclusion! regards 2009/11/9 Asudani, Rajesh rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in All said and done, I cannot appreciate the point of handicapped or more appropriately disabled coach being placed at anywhere else than in the middle of the train, and more so it being not vestibuled The coach being placed always on the engine side is impractical as railways can hardly be expected to shunt it every time.

EG. Kolcutta metro. 4 Especially again in suburban trains the platform should be in line with the floor level of the trains. 5 There should be tactile markers leading to bridge and exit gates. 6 In automated announcement systems, it should also announce the station name eg.

Re: [AI] no worrys
You said max background, if it is a typo then probably it means mathematics background. As you have done graduation already, you can go for MCA. But you will have to take IGNOU's 1 year course for mathematics, it is perhaps called ppc. I don't remember the full form for it. You would also need to do one of the IGNOU's certificate programs about basic computer knowledge. Maths in PPC is of the same level as plus 2, so before you decide, make sure that you are familiar with basic mathematical concepts. Generally, your knowledge level should be of class 10th. By class 10th level I do not mean you should have studied at class 10th, but you should know the concepts and be able to solve questions at that level. Plus do some introspection to find out if you really have interest and aptitude for programming. Programming is mostly a solitary activity with intense focus.

Re: [AI] I'm Blind--and I'm a Good Mother
I think the way we take this also matters. We are the subject matter experts about screen readers and other assistive devices, but visually dependent people are not. So it becomes our responsibility to spread awareness about such technologies. True, it is tiring but who else can do this task? We have to devise creative ways to do so and stil accept the fact that it is a never ending process. One very effective way could be to embed such messages in movies / TV serials, but as of now they don't go beyond Braille. For example, the movie Fanaa could be a good platform,, but we get to know about such movies only when they are released. In one TV serial one of the character becomes blind, but they could only thing of Braille. She was cured very soon so nothing could be done.

I hope many blind parents of this group--both present and future will enjoy reading this article. I'm Blind--and I'm a Good Mother (By Amie Slavin. From The Guardian, U.K., (c) Aug. 8, 2009) Hard labor, as a lifestyle choice, has more to recommend it than I could have guessed. From those first few hours of holding Sophia, my firstborn, curled on my forearm learning to breastfeed, to the most recent round of pre-breakfast Ride a Cockhorse, bouncing two fine ladies on my tired knees, I have been a fan. But I always knew that parenting would present different challenges for me, compared with more mainstream mothers, because I have been blind since 1997. The practicalities of bringing up children without eyesight are not, for the most part, nearly as hard as you might think. Changing nappies isn't especially difficult if you're used to doing everything by touch. There's no mystery about it. I don't explore fecal matter with my fingers, neither do I leave my baby half-cleaned. I simply use a combination of touch and smell to determine how cleaning is progressing, and if it gets out of hand and I begin to lose the will to live, well, 10 minutes suffices for a bath and change of clothes: foolproof. Feeding is also achievable, if slightly more exciting. In the early days of weaning, I would collect a spoonful of food with my right hand while lightly resting my left hand on her right shoulder. In this way I could monitor the position of her head and use my thumb to assess the in (and especially out) flow. I didn't aim the spoon directly in but used my fingertips to detect her mouth and its degree of openness. Next would come the lightning transition from obliquely hovering spoonful to precisely administered tasty mouthful without jabbing the gums, touching the soft palate or twanging the lips or tongue. Running my household is more complex, yet still not impossible. Recently, for instance, while sorting laundry, I flicked the corner of a duvet cover into Sophia's abandoned water cup, tipping it on to the floor. I reached for the kitchen roll and knocked over a brand new bottle of multi-surface cleaner which, defying its sealed status, sloshed its contents liberally over the kitchen's cork tiles. Throwing kitchen roll onto the spilled water, I set about wiping up the surface cleaner. My wonderfully helpful (and terrifyingly valuable) new guide dog instantly joined in, diving first into the surface cleaner (to my panic) and then, on my rebuff, seizing the water-soaked kitchen roll and dancing off with it. Flustered and swearing by now, I chased and caught the dog and paper, sending one from the room and the other to landfill; mopped up the surface cleaner, recaptured my laundry and began to congratulate myself on a household crisis averted. Brimming with competence, I

[AI] How much is your identity worth?
Personal and financial details change hands for just pennies in the online underworld. Delve into the murky depths of cybercrime in our special report by Jim Giles HOW curious. Early this year my bank sent me a replacement credit card. I hadn't asked for one, and the bank did not elaborate except to refer vaguely to security issues. I still don't know why my card was replaced, but I have a hunch: a massive electronic heist at a New Jersey-based company called Heartland Payment Systems. Heartland acts as a middleman between retailers and credit card companies, and processes about 100 million transactions every month. At some point in March 2008, a group of hackers is believed to have broken through the firm's cyber-defences. They installed software that, for about four months, secretly relayed credit and debit card details to an external computer. It is likely that tens of millions of cards were hacked. Like many other people, I initially missed the news about Heartland - perhaps because it was announced on the day of Barack Obama's inauguration. But my belated discovery made me wonder what would have happened to my credit card details if they had been stolen. So I called internet security company Team Cymru, based in Burr Ridge, Illinois. A few weeks later, cybercrime experts Steve Santorelli and Levi Gundert introduced me to a sprawling criminal underworld so large and pervasive that no one can control it. This underworld is surprisingly easy to access. It consists of a network of online chatrooms and web forums where stolen information is openly traded, along with off-the-shelf software tools needed to pull off just about every kind of online scam going. This is an economy that is worth billions of dollars, says Dean Turner of the security company Symantec in Calgary, Canada. It's highly organised. Everything that criminals need is available for sale. It was not always like this. In the early days, criminal hacking required advanced technical skills. But organised crime has moved in and the black market has become a service economy where anybody can buy a career in cybercrime. As soon as Santorelli and Gundert log me onto a chatroom, messages start to appear. cinch: I got fresh hacked UK cvv2's My guides explain. This means that a criminal by the name of cinch* is selling stolen British credit card details. CVV2 means he or she has the full credit card numbers, expiry dates, billing addresses and the three-digit security codes on the back of the cards - all the details you need to make a purchase at most online retailers. These will cost you anything from about 50 cents to $12 depending on the card's credit limit, where it comes from and how many you want to buy. Gundert says that cinch or an associate probably obtained these details by hacking an online retailer or an intermediary like Heartland. Web retailers routinely employ tough electronic protection, but hackers are frighteningly adept at finding and exploiting holes in their defences. Once hackers are in, they can scoop up credit card details and start selling them. The retailer may never know its defences have been breached. Symantec estimates that almost a third of all adverts in the underground economy are for credit card information of some type, (see diagram). While I've been talking to Santorelli and Gundert, a new, more sinister message has appeared: loopz: Uk US Dump Track 1 Track 2 Loopz is selling dumps - CVV2s plus all the information encoded in the card's magnetic stripe, known as Track 1, or that stored in the chip that is built into many European cards, which is called Track 2. Dumps are more valuable. Access to these details allows criminals to print cloned credit cards and shop almost anywhere. The card-printing equipment costs $20,000 to $30,000, but is available legally. If that investment is too great, traders can email the details to criminal specialist printers who will run off cards and return them by mail for just a few dollars per card. I send a message to loopz asking about price and availability. Minutes later I get a reply: he has 10 dumps and wants $15 for each. That seems ridiculously cheap for details that could potentially be cashed out for thousands of dollars. A few months back, loopz might have been asking several times that. But supply and demand shape this market, just like any other, and recently prices have slumped. It is impossible to say why, though the economic slowdown is probably not the cause: credit card fraud, says Turner, is a recession-proof business. Santorelli's guess is that the market has been flooded with information stolen from Heartland. As in any transaction, however, let the buyer beware. Anyone who took loopz up on the offer would probably have come away empty-handed. Santorelli says that 9 out of 10 traders in the chatroom are rippers - con artists who take the money and run. To combat this, many chatroom operators impose a ratings system not

[AI] DiversityInc's Top 10 Companies for People with Disabilities!
subject: DiversityInc's Top 10 Companies for People with Disabilities What makes a company a great place to work for people with disabilities? An inclusive culture that values people and allows them to be open about who they are. A workplace that accommodates people's needs so they can maximize their talent and skills. A marketplace that reaches out to people with disabilities and values them as customers. Methodology: To determine this list, we relied on answers to the 2009 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity survey, specifically: questions on having active recruitment programs for people with disabilities; having a strong employee-resource group for people with disabilities; and having certain work/life benefits, such as flex time, telecommuting, caregiver assistance, and leaves of absence. We also looked at the websites of the companies to see what content/images they have about people with disabilities. Here are the DiversityInc Top 10 Companies for People With Disabilities with a reason why each one made the list. -- 1. IBM Corp. has been at the forefront of hiring, retaining and promoting employees with disabilities and is expanding its efforts globally. The company also has been the most outspoken opponent of genetic testing for employees and has been clear and vocal in its values-driven mission. 2. Ernst Young has a world-class AccessAbilities employee-resource group that is charged with helping the firm unleash the full abilities of all our people, according to the company. Its members meet monthly through a conference call and have Abilities Champions who make sure disabilities-awareness messages and educational material are part of communications, meetings and events. About two-thirds of AccessAbilities members do not have disabilities themselves. 3. Cisco Systems provides excellent benefits for people with disabilities and for employees who are caring for people with disabilities, including an on-site health center, an on-site pharmacy, healthcare incentives, job sharing and alternative career tracks for people with long-term family-care issues. 4. Procter Gamble's People with Disabilities Task Force is a national leader in accessibility in workplace accommodations, recruitment, retention, training and partnerships with organizations such as Career Opportunities for Students with Disabilities. 5. Kaiser Permanente, with the help of its strong Persons with Disabilities employee-resource group, is a national leader in culturally competent healthcare and in workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities. 6. SC Johnson has first-rate employee-resource groups, including Abilities First Business Council, Elder Care Giver Support Group and Parents of Special Needs Children Support Group. The Johnson Abilities First Business Council was established in 1995 as a support group for people dealing with disabilities in the workplace and now is a key advisory group that helps the company meet its business objectives. 7. Aetna's new AetnAbilities employee-resource group is proving a strong and valuable asset. The company also has a Caregiver group and is an advocate for ending cultural disparities in healthcare. 8. Starwood Hotels Resorts Worldwide has excellent benefits for people with disabilities, including sign-language courses and work/life counselors. Philanthropic donations include the New York School for the Deaf. 9. Sodexo's employee-resource group for people with disabilities, Sodexo Organization for disAbilities Resources (SOAR), helped create a self-paced and interactive e-learning module on disability awareness for employees. SOAR spearheaded events and webinars with the National Organization on Disability to recognize and promote National Disability Employment Awareness Month (in October). 10. KPMG has first-rate benefits, including shared leave, shared backup care, flexible hours and job sharing. The company's Disability Network employee-resource group provides guidance on and raises awareness of workplace issues that affect KPMG partners and employees who have a disability or who have a child or other dependent with disabilities. ## (By Barbara Frankel, copyright DiversityInc) source: taken from MATILDA ZIEGLER MAGAZINE October 2009 Issue. __ Please feel free to pass your comments, feedbacks new ideas to the below menntioned contact details.
