Hey access indians,
As you know, mr. l. subramani had to do a webcast on proof reading and
editing last week, but it could not be done due to some problems at
the 11th hour.
I’m glad to announce that all things have been set up for doing this
webcast this week.
It will be done either  june 5th (Saturday night) or june 6th (Sunday
morning) according to your convenience.
Interested people are requested to please respond quick on what would
be the most suitable time for you to listen this live webcast?
You can write to me personally on

“Proofreading is vitally important, hard to do well, and tedious as
hell.” -Brian Clark.
Proofreading traditionally means reading a proof copy of a text in
order to detect and correct any errors. Modern proofreading often
requires reading copy at earlier stages as well.
Whether you are writing a magazine article, a college essay or an
email to a client, getting your text free of mistakes is essential.
Having an erroneous article, essay or e-mail may sabotage your task,
frustrate your client, or even may cause you deduction in marks. Is
there any way out that may make your writing perfect and error free?
In the words of Mark Twain, "In the first place God made idiots," he
once wrote. "This was for practice. Then he made proof-readers.". So,
are proof readers made by god? May be yes, but it’s even possible for
people like you and me to learn the art of proof reading and editing.
All that’s required is a passion to learn, interest in reading and
writing, and above all, an expert who can teach all the concepts with
patients. If you having a passion and interest, then an expert wants
to teach you.
One of the india’s premier journalists, mr. l. subramani presents an
exclusive webcast about how to do proof reading and editing.
Mr. l. subramani is a visually impaired person himself,but his
excellence and expertise always proves him better then his sighted
counterparts.
Join mr, subramani for learning the core concepts of proof reading and
editing in an exclusive online webcast.
before you join the webcast, we recommend you download the zip file
that contains 3 important documents.

  Airliner Black Boxes
  --



  [image: untitled 2.bmp]

  The "black box" is a generic term for two recording devices carried aboard
commercial airliners. The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) records a variety of
parameters related to the operation and flight characteristics of the plane.
The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) records the voices of the flight crew,
engine noise, and any other sounds in the cockpit. All large commercial
airliners and certain varieties of smaller commercial, corporate, and
private aircraft are required by law to carry one or both of these boxes,
which generally cost between $10,000 and $15,000 apiece. The data these
devices provide is often invaluable to experts investigating the events
leading up to an accident. The recovery of the boxes is one of the highest
priorities in any mishap investigation, second only to locating survivors or
recovering the remains of victims. FDR information is also often used to
study other aviation safety issues, engine performance, and to identify
potential maintenance issues.

[image: cockpit-voice-recorder.jpg]
*Example of a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)*
 Despite the nickname "black box," the FDR and CVR are actually painted a
bright high-visibility orange with white reflecting strips to make them
easier to spot at a crash scene. The meaning of the term black box itself is
somewhat unclear. Some suggest it refers to the black charring that occurs
in a post-crash fire while others believe the color black is a reference to
the deaths often associated with an accident investigation. The design of
modern black boxes is regulated by a group called the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO). The ICAO determines what information the black
boxes must record, over what length of time it is saved, and how survivable
the boxes must be. The ICAO delegates much of this responsibility to the
European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) that maintains
a document called the Minimum Operational Performance Specification for
Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems.
Black boxes first began to appear in the 1950s and became mandatory during
the 1960s. These early devices used magnetic tape for data storage, much
like that used in a tape recorder. As the tape is pulled over an
electromagnetic head, sound or numerical data is recorded on the medium.
Analog black boxes using magnetic tape are still present aboard many planes,
but these recording devices are no longer manufactured. Newer recorders
instead use solid-state memory boards, called a Crash Survivable Memory Unit
(CSMU), that record data in a digital format. Instead of the moving parts
present in older recorders, solid-state devices use stacked arrays of memory
chips similar to a USB memory stick. The lack of moving parts eases
maintenance while reducing the chance of a critical component breaking in a
crash. Solid-state recorders can also save considerably more data than older
magnetic tape devices and are more resistant to shock, vibration, and
moisture.

[image: fdr-egyptair990.jpg]
*Magnetic tape from within the FDR of EgyptAir 990 that crashed in 1999*
 Whatever the medium used to record the data, the purpose of the black boxes
is to collect information from various sensors aboard an aircraft. The
Cockpit Voice Recorder, for example, saves sounds from microphones located
on the flight deck. An area microphone is typically placed in the overhead
instrument panel between the pilots, and an additional microphone is located
in the headset of each member of the flight crew. These microphones pick up
conversations between the flight crew, engine noises, audible warning
alarms, landing gear sounds, clicks from moving switches, and any other
noises like pops or thuds that might occur in the cockpit. The CVR also
records communications with Air Traffic Control, automated radio weather
briefings, and conversations between the pilots and ground or cabin crew.
These sounds often a

and system failures.
Analog magnetic tape recorders are required to store four audio channels for
at least 30 minutes while digital solid-state devices are required to record
for two hours. Both types use continuous recording such that older
information is written over as new data is collected beyond the maximum time

In case of Information Technology - where ever possible using open
sourse products like ORCA and LINUX etc.. could be an good solution.
to this problem. Not only using open sourse products but promoting
them and contrubuting to their developement in what ever way possible
will help everybody.

Re: [AI] Moderator: Re: PNB CREDIT CARD FACILITY TO BLIND CUSTOMERS

[Rahul Gambhir]

Hello all,

This Circular is a result of a 6 months long crusade held between PNB,
and banking ombudsman. Last year I filed a complaint with RBI banking
ombudsman office.
In March 2010 PNB communicated through a letter to me that they will
come out with a policy on the subject matter till 31st may.

Last month PNB communicated through a letter to collect a global
credit card, and requested to close the complaint from  BO office.
This credit card is similar to a normal VISA card but an additional
feature is that they have prefixed my passport size photograph on the
card.
The amazing part of the story is that card has been issued to me on
thumb impression.

PNB has provided me with all the banking services, internet banking,
debit card, and now this credit card, but all of the products took
more than a year to be issued as all of the times I had to nock the
dors of reserve bank .

I am relief to know that now PNB has come out with a circular and
fulfilled its commitment to banking ombudsman.

Thanks
Rahul Gambhir

 So, I can read my statement online.
 I wonder why  PNB does  not require that I have a functioning Personal
 computer with screen reader installed on it and with active internet
 connection! and also that I ensure nobody spies on me when I use such a
 gadget to read my statement!

 And, yes, even if I don't have a voice-enabled mobile and ask anyone to
 read out the messages, they cannot know anything but the amount of
 transaction and date thereof.
 It is not possible to forge card details from it.


 My friends, give up the habit of "My country, write or wrong", and do
 not justify any arbitrary conditions merely because your own institution

 prescribes them, or they are high-sounding technological gadgets which
 we want to make compulsory.

Re: [AI] Fw: [SayEverything] Products for the Blind are tooExpensive

[Mukesh Sharma]

Hello,

In todays economy, not only demand and supply govern the market but the
factor like  need of the service, quality of the service, user base of the
service, expertise to provide the service etc. govern the price of product
and services.

Though, from a social justice perspective, the AT products should be equally
priced if not cheaper. 

The total cost of software (windows, office, antivirus, spy ware) exceeds
the cost of hardware, isn't it a good example of imbalance pricing? But in
this case people have option to go with open source and free app. Similarly
we are coming up with free / open source AT apps.

Consider the example of cold rink, the manufacturing cost is not that much
but it is priced high not because if it is priced reasonably, it would be
impossible to fulfill the demand but factors other than demand and supply.
Medicines are another example of imbalance pricing.

Thanks
Mukesh

[AI] Legal capacity & Unterlassene Hilfeleistung

[V. Jayakumar]

This is not reassuring news what with current focus on competence / legal
capacity / guardianship / advance
directives.
The facts are unimportant except to the parties concerned. The larger issues
I feel require our attention.

>From a *media pov*: Very few facts, so many spins. Shouldn't focus be more
on what mechanisms there are in
placefor the
very many senior citizens in the same situation. A
system can fail only if it exists in the first
place
.

>From an *NGO pov* - Maybe it's time India looked at a Good Samaritan
provision in the
law.
Arguably if people wanted to help an 89 year old person living alone with no
family / support system in sight, what should they do if resources are
limited and person unwilling to move to an assisted living facility? Wouldn't
inaction be a worse
'crime
'?

>From a *mental health / disability* pov - Sick / incapacitated / impaired
mental capacity. Are the specific needs of senior
citizensbeing
addressed in current mental health / disability reform? Are senior
citizens being included in the drafting process in the first place?

P.S. Reading over what I've said, I can clearly see my bias towards the
NGO's situation - so be it. Every story deserves at least 2 perspectives! -

NGO official arrested for cheating,
forgery
The D B Marg police,Mumbai on Wednesday 16th Dec arrested a manager attached
to Dignity Foundation,NGO working for senior citizens on charges of cheating
and forgery.

The police was tightlipped about the case. “We have arrested Hemang Desai,
manager (security service) of the NGO on charges of cheating and forgery,’’
said inspector Anil Sardal of the D B Marg police station, without giving
any more details.

A senior police officer said the court has asked them to investigate the
case. He, too, refused to elaborate on the case.

Dr Sheelu Srinivasan, chairperson of Dignity Foundation, rubbished the
police allegation and said that Desai was framed in a false case. She
suspected that the manager is being harassed by the police for helping a
senior citizen. “We have been helping an 87-year-old man, Hoshi Wadia, who
had deposited Rs 90,000 with us. We have spent Rs 45,000 in his case and
have a record of all the expenses with us,’’ she stated.

According to her, Wadia had given Dignity Foundation a lot of powers to act
on his behalf and they were taking up his case for justice. “We have also
appointed a nurse to take care of Wadia,’’ she said.

The head of Dignity Foundation, Sheilu Srinivasan, was released by the
police on bail on Monday after allegations that her group fraudulently
obtained power of attorney from an 89-year-old resident of Opera House to
administer property worth crores of rupees.



Srinivasan has been named in a complaint, filed at Girgaum metropolitan
court in September last year, that says equity shares worth Rs 6.5 crore
owned by H S Wadia were sold by a man named Mehernosh Palia, who had
influenced him to become co-owner of the shares.

D B Marg police station said that using the power of attorney, an amount of
Rs 1,24,000 was transferred from Wadia’s bank account to Srinivasan’s
Dignity Foundation.

While investigations do not show whether the NGO was involved in the sale of
the shares, police say that a manager of the Dignity Foundation, Hemang

Dear Madleen,

It is nice to hear that your husband is an Indian. In this way you are the
daughter in law of this country, being an Indian your husband is our
brother, do you know the wife of the brother is called Bhabhi in India.  So
would you and your husband allow us to call you Bhabhi?. 

There are endless opportunities in India to do the voluntary work as per
your interest and convenience. I am very much interested to know the socio
economic status of blind people in U.K, German and other European countries.
An informative note on this shall be highly appreciated.  

With regards,

Gautam Prakash Agarwal

Subject: [AI] Introduction from a new member!





Hello All,

I
just joined the list, and I thought I would write and introduce myself. My
name
is Steven. I'm a blind college student from New York. I am studying
Psychology,
but I also like history and literature. My hobbies are reading, listening to
music,
hanging out with friends, traveling and learning new things. I would like to
make some new friends on here! 

 

My
ancestors are Indian, and I've always wanted to visit the homeland. I would
really like to come to India and volunteer in a school for the blind. Does
anyone have any advice for me? I kind of saw myself going to Mumbai because
it's
Mumbai, but I really don't mind where I go. There are just so many schools
all
around India. Also, I don't speak any Indian languages (only English and
French). Do you think this would be a problem? Please help if you can. But
also, I would just like to get to know everyone!

 

Thanks,

Steven

Re: [AI] a problem in the spell check in ubuntu

[Arpit Jain]

Hi!

Open office is default application which comes preinstalled with
Ubuntu and I guess you must be using the word processor of the same.
I'm afraid that not many are using Ubuntu on Ai, but what I can
suggest is that you can try going through the documentation of that
word processor, may be it could be of some use or this can be a bug
with open office as well..
May be someone already using Ubuntu can come forward and explain this issue..

Dear Satguru
It asks for starting and finishing points.
Now, if they are labeled on Google maps, writing names suffices:
For example:
Reserve Bank of India, Nagpur etc.
However, not all points we want are so labeled.
Hence, we may enter their gps coordinates, once we know them.
When we start gps, it announces coordinates of the place we happen to be at.
The most common starting place that we use is our own home, so we may enter 
it as starting point.
Any place once visited, is available as gps coordinates if we care to not 
them.
And yes we may use gps coordinates in either starting and finishing points, 
or we may enter them one as name and another as gps coordinates.
For instance if I wish to find the way from my home to RBI Nagpur, and 
download and use the checkpoint file for it, I may enter as follows:
Starting point:
N21.1750 E79.0835
destination point:
Reserve Bank of India Nagpur India

So, we may ente3r input in any of the two ways, and get the file.
Hope this helps.

Yes, and you can download loadstone checkpoint files by keying in starting
and destination points from:
http://groute.loadstone-gps.pl
Then save those files in checkpoints folder of loadstone and use them by
loading the relevant file when navigating that route.
It is helpful.
I have brought several errant drivers on the right path by doing so, and
even without it by simply noting coordinates from loadstone.

  Airliner Black Boxes
  --



  [image: untitled 2.bmp]

  The "black box" is a generic term for two recording devices carried aboard
commercial airliners. The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) records a variety of
parameters related to the operation and flight characteristics of the plane.
The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) records the voices of the flight crew,
engine noise, and any other sounds in the cockpit. All large commercial
airliners and certain varieties of smaller commercial, corporate, and
private aircraft are required by law to carry one or both of these boxes,
which generally cost between $10,000 and $15,000 apiece. The data these
devices provide is often invaluable to experts investigating the events
leading up to an accident. The recovery of the boxes is one of the highest
priorities in any mishap investigation, second only to locating survivors or
recovering the remains of victims. FDR information is also often used to
study other aviation safety issues, engine performance, and to identify
potential maintenance issues.

[image: cockpit-voice-recorder.jpg]
*Example of a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)*
 Despite the nickname "black box," the FDR and CVR are actually painted a
bright high-visibility orange with white reflecting strips to make them
easier to spot at a crash scene. The meaning of the term black box itself is
somewhat unclear. Some suggest it refers to the black charring that occurs
in a post-crash fire while others believe the color black is a reference to
the deaths often associated with an accident investigation. The design of
modern black boxes is regulated by a group called the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO). The ICAO determines what information the black
boxes must record, over what length of time it is saved, and how survivable
the boxes must be. The ICAO delegates much of this responsibility to the
European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) that maintains
a document called the Minimum Operational Performance Specification for
Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems.
Black boxes first began to appear in the 1950s and became mandatory during
the 1960s. These early devices used magnetic tape for data storage, much
like that used in a tape recorder. As the tape is pulled over an
electromagnetic head, sound or numerical data is recorded on the medium.
Analog black boxes using magnetic tape are still present aboard many planes,
but these recording devices are no longer manufactured. Newer recorders
instead use solid-state memory boards, called a Crash Survivable Memory Unit
(CSMU), that record data in a digital format. Instead of the moving parts
present in older recorders, solid-state devices use stacked arrays of memory
chips similar to a USB memory stick. The lack of moving parts eases
maintenance while reducing the chance of a critical component breaking in a
crash. Solid-state recorders can also save considerably more data than older
magnetic tape devices and are more resistant to shock, vibration, and
moisture.

[image: fdr-egyptair990.jpg]
*Magnetic tape from within the FDR of EgyptAir 990 that crashed in 1999*
 Whatever the medium used to record the data, the purpose of the black boxes
is to collect information from various sensors aboard an aircraft. The
Cockpit Voice Recorder, for example, saves sounds from microphones located
on the flight deck. An area microphone is typically placed in the overhead
instrument panel between the pilots, and an additional microphone is located
in the headset of each member of the flight crew. These microphones pick up
conversations between the flight crew, engine noises, audible warning
alarms, landing gear sounds, clicks from moving switches, and any other
noises like pops or thuds that might occur in the cockpit. The CVR also
records communications with Air Traffic Control, automated radio weather
briefings, and conversations between the pilots and ground or cabin crew.
These sounds often allow investigators to determine the time of key events
and system failures.
Analog magnetic tape recorders are required to store four audio channels for
at least 30 minutes while digital solid-state devices are required to record
for two hours. Both types use continuous recording such that older
information is written over as new data is collected beyond the maximum time
limit.

 The Flight Data Recorder collects data from a number of sensors to monitor
information like accelerations, airspeed, altitude, heading, attitudes,
cockpit control positions, thermometers, engine gauges, fuel flow, control
surface positions, autopilot status, switch positions, and a variety of
other parameters. Most parameters
