Dear Rajesh Well, I beg to differ, just because a paper is written in Braille, it is expected the paper would be evaluated by VI or it is expected the evaluator is expected to learn Braille. Braille is certainly an option and the importance of Braille should not be undermined. How to deal with Braille paper is an operational issue to be dealt with the authority. Certainly the practical way out is to get it transcribed by a person knowing Braille. Sighted or blind. I would go further to state we should write in Braille to authorities to ensure the importance of Braille as a medium. I am unsure if a Braille document can be considered as a legal document although I reckon there should be no bar in it.It should be interesting to know the legal status of Braille. Audio Recording is good, However, it would make the candidate and the scribe very conscious. Let us not make a blind person treated like a criminal.If the scribe does not read well it will still not make the things better as no extra marks would be given for the wrong answer. If for any reason the authorities could not arrange for recording or if the recording did not come through will, some hypper intelligent babu would penalise a blind person for it. You never know.

[AI] Now, hone your skills via web
The Hindu, September 9, 2010 Now, hone your skills via web Staff Reporter CHENNAI: An online e-learning portal - www.careerstrokes.com - that aims to motivate students and young professionals and provide them with career enhancement skills was launched on Monday. A business venture of the former Indian cricket captain, Kris Srikkanth, the website has 12 modules that contain pre-loaded lectures on a variety of topics that include leadership skills, stress management, communication skills, decision-making and negotiation. We have made the website rich in terms of graphics and visual content and all live lectures will be webcast from the studios, he said. There will be five live classes a month, including at least one by Mr. Srikkanth. He said the teaching approach would be based on translating the concept of cricket for an easy understanding of complex management problems. In a country like India where cricket is nothing less than a religion, citing real time analogies from the world of cricket to explain the issues of life would go a long way, he said. What we learn in classes and what we do in real life is different, said Mr. Srikkanth. Online learning with webinars, online discussions with experts, interviews with successful managers, theme-based learning and customised audio-visual interactions will be part of the programme, Mr. Srikkanth said. A 24-hour help line to assist people with their problems, archives to webcast the missed sessions and a help desk have also been facilitated in the site for the registered members, he added. Mr. Srikkanth said that tie-ups with job portals and universities to cater to the problems faced by students and professionals are being looked at. An online cricket coaching site and an online forum to teach mathematics and science will be launched soon. Regards The world is not to be narrowed till it will go into the understanding . . . but the understanding is to be expanded till it can take in the world. - Francis Bacon (Rajesh Asudani) Assistant General Manager, Reserve Bank of India Nagpur 09420397185 O: 0712 2806676 Res: 0712 2591349 Notice: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: [AI] Examinations
There has to be a sepret exam center for the visually challenged candidates in state level.

Re: [AI] (no subject)

[AI] Sharing steps to send files using drop box...
Hi friends, Hope you all are rocking! As I wrote the steps to send files using drop box, for some of my friends, so sharing with you, thinking it would be of help to someone. So those of you who knows, sorry for this mail. In dropbox, we have 2 main options to share files: 1. Sending someone a file using public folder. 2. Sharing files with someone using share folder option . Now, 1st let's throw a light on Sending someone a file using public folder option: Note: Please remember, that using this option, you can send only 1 single file. For sending multiple files, you have to send it as a zipped file. Steps: If you go to my documents, you will find an icon my drop box . Open it and you will find public folder. Open this public folder and paste your desired file in this folder. Now it will start uploading To check it's status of uploading, press insert+f11 to open the system tray icon and check with down arrow keys dropbox, or just press letter D, and mister jaws would say something like, dropbox 1 file uploading... Once it is uploaded, it would say, dropbox all files up to date . Once it's done, go to my dropbox/public folder, and keep the cursor on your file which you are uploading. Here, press the application key, and open dropbox sub menu, and then finally, hit enter on copy public link option. Now go to your desired place, or the Email which you are sending and just paste the link there, and you are ready to go! Now about share folder option: 1st trying to throw a spot light on this option: share folder option gives us freedom to share a folder between computers. So any file kept in this folder, will be available in both the computers. Aha! remembering the awsome movie, 3 ediots , toe demo kar kay bataana chaahta hoo. Imagine, we are sharing a folder named, Krishna . Now, go to your my dropbox, which will be in my documents by default, and create a folder, and name it as Krishna. Now copy your desired file which you want me to send, and paste it into Krishna folder. It can be any file, text or an audio such as a Krishna bhajan etc... now, once it finishes uploading, go to my dropbox, keep cursor on that Krishna folder, press application key on that folder,and with down/up arrow keys, keep cursor on dropbox sub menu and press right arrow to open it, or simply press D to reach there, and open it with right arrow. Now with up arrow key, hit enter on share this folder... option . Now the dropbox web page will be opened... Once it's been loaded, look for Enter recipient email addresses here . Under this you will find an edit box saying, Enter recipient email addresses here edit. So enter the person's Email address to whom you want to share this folder with, in this edit box, so according to our example, bhavesh.dha...@gmail.com After entering Email address, there will be a heading stating sending a personal message to that person. So if you wish to write a note, you can write in that below given edit box. Now, you are ready to fly this krishna folder across 7 seas, all over to Dubai, so just hit enter in the below button saying,share folder button . So now, I will get an Email, as well as you will get a confirmation mail. So I have to just click the link given in that mail, so the dropbox web page will be opened, and I have to accept it from the web page. once i do this, automatically, it will start downloading in my laptop, and once downloading is finished, I will see Krishna folder in my dropbox, and inside it, the melodious bhajan in your melodious voice! (smiles) Aha! seems you are tired reading all this right? Okay not boring you more, and shutting down! Sorry if any errors. Bye, God Bless, keep laughing! If you don't get time to pray, try to make people laugh! For gossips, feel free to catch me on: Skype: bhavesh.dhanak Yahoo Messenger: bhavesh.dha...@yahoo.co.in Windows Live: bhavesh.dha...@hotmail.com To drop an Email: bhavesh.dha...@gmail.com With Smile and thanks from Bhavesh Dhanak.

Re: [AI] Examinations
Ok mam. fine. but, if the visually challenged will be allocated different different center it'd be a very probalmatic to implement the reforms that we're trying to bring. So the one amendment can be taken into account in this regard. the center has to be with other candidates but all the visually challenged candidates shal be allotted the same center. it would definetly ensure that all the guidelines would be known to the examination authority, and they'll raise the less objection about the scribe. they'll also aware about the problems of visually challenged candidates very well, and it will ensure the conduct of free and fair exams.

Re: [AI] examination
Hi friends, I'm strongly opposed to the concept of a common center. In my opinion, we should make sure that the VI candidate is allotted the center nearest to his house. Even in a city like Mumbai, there will not be more than say 50 VI candidates for a major examination like graduation. Thus 1 or maximum 2 centers would be designated as VI centers. One would be significantly at a disadvantage if the common center is far away from his/her house thereby requiring long commute. In the exam days, surely none of us would want to spend say 4 to 6 hours in travelling. So lets ensure that the center is nearest to the place of residence of a VI. To solve the problem of improper application of rules and regulations, I had suggested to have a designated person appointed by the examination authorities with his all contact data made available on the website and in the permission letter. Such person should have the authority to direct the center in charges to take necessary action to ensure that the examination is conducted properly and necessary relief is provided to the VI where necessary.

[AI] Your questions answered
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED Expert computing advice Chris Byers tackles readers' hardware and software conundrums UPGRADE ADVICE NEEDED Q I upgraded my PC with a new CPU and hard drive, copying across the contents of the old drive with the help of a disk-copying utility. When I boot up I now see a screen asking which operating system (OS) I'd like to use, but I have only one installed. Richard Perez The imaging process has unearthed an older copy of Windows that's been upgraded or overwritten. A hidden boot.ini file tells the computer which version of Windows to use if it finds more than one. Because it doesn't know which OS you want to use, it needs to ask you each time. Right-click Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery. Select your OS from the drop-down menu under 'Default operating system'. Change the option next to 'Time to display list of operating systems' to 5 seconds. Reboot and ensure the PC starts up correctly. Revisit the Startup and Recovery panel and untick the box next to 'Time to display list of operating systems'. Your PC should now boot into your chosen version of Windows without prompting. For more information on the boot.ini file, visit tinyurl.com/yzzfxg. FULL-DISK WARNING Q I reorganised some files on my Vista Home Basic PC and am now receiving a full-disk warning. The drive has two 67GB partitions. I moved 40GB of files to D, leaving 31GB on C. I unsuccessfully attempted to delete the Winsxs file, which hogs 12GB. I've also removed 3GB of programs. But every time I reboot, the capacity used on C is still 31GB. Doug Pyburn A basic installation of Vista will gobble up 15GB of drive space before you've even installed any software or downloaded any patches, service packs or Windows Update files. It's also possible that your pagefile (virtual memory) is set too large, or you have a faulty program generating masses of temporary files or a disk error. Windows hibernation files can also grow very large, so make sure you're turning off the PC using the Shut Down option rather than Sleep. Don't delete any content from the Winsxs folder. This holds important files that are required for the correct operation of Windows and your installed software. Let's do some housekeeping and clear up what we can. Download and run CCleaner ( ccleaner.com). You'll need to close your web browser first. Next, move your pagefile to another partition. The pagefile can grow and grow if it isn't kept under control. Right-click Computer, Properties, Advanced System Settings, Performance, Advanced, Virtual Memory, Change. Highlight your second drive partition and tick the 'System Managed Size' option. Next, highlight your C partition and select 'No paging file', Set, Ok. Finally, reboot the machine. Now let's shrink or delete the hibernation file. Go to Control Panel, Folder Options, View and select 'See hidden files, folders and drives'. Clear the option to 'Hide protected hidden operating system files', then click Apply. Next, double-click the C partition in Computer and jot down the size of the hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys files (you may need to hover the cursor over it or right-click it and choose Properties). To delete the Hibernation option, go to Start, All Programs, Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt and select 'Run as administrator'. When the command prompt box opens, type powercfg -h and press Enter. You may have to manually delete the hiberfil.sys file, however. To shrink the hibernation file, open the command prompt and type powercfg -h -X (where X is the percentage of the original size - for example, powercfg -h -75 reduces the file to 75 percent of the original) and press Enter. The smallest you can go is 50 percent. Windows Update files are another disk hog, but you'll need to stop the Automatic Updates service before you can delete them. Right-click Computer and choose Manage, Services and Applications, Services. Right-click Windows Update and select Stop. Navigate to C:\Windows and delete the SoftwareDistribution folder. It will be recreated (but empty) the next time you reboot the PC. Remember to restart Automatic Updates afterwards. You should also check your drive for errors, since the 'free space' information reported may be incorrect. Right-click the C partition in Computer and choose Properties, Tools, Error Checking. Tick the 'Automatically fix file system errors' option, press Start and reboot when prompted. To complete the cleanup process, defragment your drive. Click Start, Search, type disk and select Disk Defragmenter. Choose the C drive, then 'Defragment disk'. SOUND OF SILENCE Q Following a clean reinstallation of Windows, the volume control built into my laptop no longer works. I reinstalled the Launcher, but it hasn't fixed things. Acer expects me to pay for updated drivers. Anon You're on the right track, since hardware controls on Acer laptops rely on software as well as drivers to
[AI] MS OFFICE 2010
With Microsoft Office 2010 and Office Web Apps soon to be released, CARRIE-ANN SKINNER offers time-saving tips and tricks for all versions of the productivity suite Work better in Office 2010 Microsoft Office 2010 is expected to go on sale in the next month or so. Available in beta since late 2009, Office 2010 introduces new tools that improve the efficiency of the notoriously bloated productivity suite. These include the ability to preview paste options and edit images within a Word document; create Sparkline charts in Excel - tiny graphs within a cell that summarise data in preceding cells; and broadcast a PowerPoint presentation without first setting up a web meeting. Outlook also gets a revamp, with the ribbon interface first introduced to other Office programs in the 2007 suite looking likely to make email management easier. You'll be able to view threaded conversations, too. But the biggest change of all is the introduction of Office Web Apps. This online dimension to the suite is Microsoft's nod towards the cloud. Using this, you'll be able to view, edit and share Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote documents online. You don't need to have Office 2010 installed to use Web Apps; documents can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection and in any web browser. This first iteration of Web Apps will have limited functionality, but it's a move we're happy to see Microsoft make. The online version of Word will offer basic functions such as printing documents, copying and pasting text, inserting images and hyperlinks, creating tables and spellchecking. Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote will have even fewer features. Another provision for working online sees Office 2010 integrating the Windows Live SkyDrive storage service, offering up to 25GB. Microsoft has promised a free Office 2010 upgrade voucher to those who buy Office 2007 between now and 30 September. Editions purchased with an educational discount are excluded from this offer. For new users, Office 2010 will cost ukp109 for a Home and Student three-user licence, ukp239 for a Home and Business two-user licence and ukp429 for a Professional two-user licence. Here, we look at time-saving tips for all versions of Office. Plus, we show you how to get Office 2010 now. USE MICROSOFT WORD MORE EFFICIENTLY START It can be irritating to copy and paste text from the web into a Word document and find that hyperlinks remain intact. Right-clicking each link and choosing 'Remove Hyperlink' can be time-consuming if you have multiple instances; instead, select all the text (Ctrl, A) and press Ctrl, Shift, F9. 2 It's possible to increase font sizes by double-clicking to select the text you want and then choosing from the options available in the ribbon toolbar. A faster method is to hold down Shift and use the arrow keys to select the text, then press ] to increase or [ to decrease the font size in 1pt increments. 3 Shuffling paragraphs around using normal cut-and-paste methods can be fiddly. To save time, place the cursor anywhere within the paragraph you want to move. Press Alt, Shift and the Up arrow to swap the paragraph with the one above it or Alt, Shift and the Down arrow to move it down. 4 Tables can be tricky to edit and format. To release the text, highlight it, choose the Table tab and click Convert, Table to Text. When you've finished editing, separate your columns with Tab breaks and click Convert, Text to Table. You'll be presented with options to adjust the width of columns and rows in the table. 5 If you want to create a document with some parts invisible to some readers, the Hidden text function is ideal. Select the text you want to hide, then click Format, Font and select 'Hidden'. To view it, click Tools, Options, View and tick 'Hidden Text'. To print the whole document select Options, Print and select 'Hidden Text'. 6 Microsoft Office comes with a number of document templates; if you can't find what you need, more can be downloaded from tinyurl.com/4oraj. Alternatively, create your own. To save a document as a template, choose Save As and select Document Template in the 'Save as type' field. J HELPFUL DOWNLOADS Xobni Xobni is a free add-on that runs in a sidebar and makes it easier to find messages, contacts and anything else in Outlook. Emails between you and each of your contacts are shown as threaded conversations, listing every message and file exchanged. Stat fans will enjoy Xobni's running total of how many messages you've exchanged, along with more inconsequential information. xobni.com Kopf Outlook Attachment Remover Outlook can quickly become very bloated, storing all its data, including messages and attachments, in a single .pst file. This results in the email client loading and running more slowly, and may even lead to system crashes. Kopf Outlook Attachment Remover reduces the size of your .pst file by moving attachments to a less crowded home

Hi Bhavesh, Thank you very much for the steps. Though I know the first task, I have never tried the second task. Now it's clear. But my doubt is after the folder is shared, can both the parties share information, or the person who has created the folder can only share the information and the person with whom the folder has been shared can only be a mere user of the information? -- G.

As I wrote the steps to send files using drop box, for some of my friends, so sharing with you, thinking it would be of help to someone. So those of you who knows, sorry for this mail. In dropbox, we have 2 main options to share files: 1. Sending someone a file using public folder. 2. Sharing files with someone using share folder option . Now, 1st let's throw a light on Sending someone a file using public folder option: Note: Please remember, that using this option, you can send only 1 single file. For sending multiple files, you have to send it as a zipped file. Steps: If you go to my documents, you will find an icon my drop box . Open it and you will find public folder. Open this public folder and paste your desired file in this folder. Now it will start uploading To check it's status of uploading, press insert+f11 to open the system tray icon and check with down arrow keys dropbox, or just press letter D, and mister jaws would say something like, dropbox 1 file uploading... Once it is uploaded, it would say, dropbox all files up to date . Once it's done, go to my dropbox/public folder, and keep the cursor on your file which you are uploading. Here, press the application key, and open dropbox sub menu, and then finally, hit enter on copy public link option. Now go to your desired place, or the Email which you are sending and just paste the link there, and you are ready to go! Now about share folder option: 1st trying to throw a spot light on this option: share folder option gives us freedom to share a folder between computers. So any file kept in this folder, will be available in both the computers. Aha! remembering the awsome movie, 3 ediots , toe demo kar kay bataana chaahta hoo. Imagine, we are sharing a folder named, Krishna . Now, go to your my dropbox, which will be in my documents by default, and create a folder, and name it as Krishna. Now copy your desired file which you want me to send, and paste it into Krishna folder. It can be any file, text or an audio such as a Krishna bhajan etc... now, once it finishes uploading, go to my dropbox, keep cursor on that Krishna folder, press application key on that folder,and with down/up arrow keys, keep cursor on dropbox sub menu and press right arrow to open it, or simply press D to reach there, and open it with right arrow. Now with up arrow key, hit enter on share this folder... option . Now the dropbox web page will be opened... Once it's been loaded, look for Enter recipient email addresses here . Under this you will find an edit box saying, Enter recipient email addresses here edit. So enter the person's Email address to whom you want to share this folder with, in this edit box, so according to our example, bhavesh.dha...@gmail.com After entering Email address, there will be a heading stating sending a personal message to that person. So if you wish to write a note, you can write in that below given edit box. Now, you are ready to fly this krishna folder across 7 seas, all over to Dubai, so just hit enter in the below button saying,share folder button . So now, I will get an Email, as well as you will get a confirmation mail. So I have to just click the link given in that mail, so the dropbox web page will be opened, and I have to accept it from the web page. once i do this, automatically, it will start downloading in my laptop, and once downloading is finished, I will see Krishna folder in my dropbox, and inside it, the melodious bhajan in your melodious voice! (smiles) Aha! seems you are tired reading all this right? Okay not boring you more, and shutting down! Sorry if any errors. Bye, God Bless, keep laughing!

Re: [AI] Examinations
in CBSE board rules for scribe are very linient. they dont compel neiter to have writer from different field or subject nor have any upper or lower percentage limits. a very simple rule which is to be followed is that writer should be in a standard less than the candidate is appearing for exam. candidates are permited to bring there own writers. a minor loophole exist there that scribe should not be in blood relation with candidate, implying sibling of vi candidate could not be writer of the candidate. this in my view is not in any way problematic issue as there are many people around us who fulfill above norms. why not to have such flexible rules for all exams which are simple to be abide with? madam, lets not focus on making all exams computer based. i agree that there are many technical issues involved in doing so. i know it will be a troublesome step for many as technology has not maneuvered all around india. i too hold antagonistic views for making all exams computer based for vi candidates. but, it is really easy to make use of screen readers in those exams which are already computer based thereby reducing dependability on scribe. what's the harm in doing so when our vi folks will become independent?

Re: [AI] Examinations
According to me, there should be no rules regarding the qualifications of the writer whatsoever. The only golden rule should be strict invigilation and nothing else. A scribe one year lower also causes a No. of problems in technical and professional examinations wherein the technicalities of the question or the diagram etc. cannot be properly explained to the candidate by him/her as he/she has absolutely no ideas. -Kartik On 9/9/10, Swasti Mathur swastimat...@gmail.com wrote: in CBSE board rules for scribe are very linient. they dont compel neiter to have writer from different field or subject nor have any upper or lower percentage limits. a very simple rule which is to be followed is that writer should be in a standard less than the candidate is appearing for exam. candidates are permited to bring there own writers. a minor loophole exist there that scribe should not be in blood relation with candidate, implying sibling of vi candidate could not be writer of the candidate. this in my view is not in any way problematic issue as there are many people around us who fulfill above norms. why not to have such flexible rules for all exams which are simple to be abide with? madam, lets not focus on making all exams computer based. i agree that there are many technical issues involved in doing so. i know it will be a troublesome step for many as technology has not maneuvered all around india. i too hold antagonistic views for making all exams computer based for vi candidates. but, it is really easy to make use of screen readers in those exams which are already computer based thereby reducing dependability on scribe. what's the harm in doing so when our vi folks will become independent?

[AI] Blindfolded, they Experienced Disability
Blindfolded, they experienced disability Published: Thursday, Sep 9, 2010, 2:22 IST By Mihika Basu | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA Imagine working, boarding a bus or even shopping blindfolded. This is exactly what students and professionals experienced at a sensitisation workshop-cum-exhibition organised by the Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC) at St Xavier's College on Wednesday. The two-day event, Antarchakshu, focused on three aspects: education, transportation, routine activities and accessible consumer products. No amount of lectures can make one understand ground realities. The experiential learning process is aimed at sensitising people about the lives of the visually challenged and will give people a deeper understanding of the problems faced, said Sam Taraporevala, XRCVC director. From getting a taste of the hazards on our roads and accessibility problems, to learning skills required for identifying, travelling and boarding a bus, around 580 participants went through the experience blindfolded. Let alone the right infrastructure, we don't even have the right attitude towards disability in India. The workshop should make people aware of the needs of disabled, said Arun Sehgal, visiting professor at the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies. Several participants said the best feature was the two BEST buses which were stationed inside the college. I learnt how difficult it is for the visually challenged to board our buses, let alone identify whether it's the correct one or not, said Zeenat Motiwala, student of the Bombay Teachers' Training College (Colaba). Around 130 student volunteers guided the participants as they tried to shop, walk through hurdles, and assemble circuits, among other things. Some participants were nervous and insecure since they couldn't see anything, said Henna Khemani, a student-guide. Ravi Thakur, a visually challenged Xavier's alumni, said the target audience this year was not just students, but professionals, academicians and corporates. Visually challenged professionals from various fields de-briefed the participants. People should realise that we are equally capable, said Thakur, who works with the National Association for the Blind. http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_blindfolded-they-experienced-disability_1435551 Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Examinations
You very well said Rajesh bhai!! Although thought of using Braille in the examination was also in my mind for a while but if we deeply analyze it's practical aspects on the ground level, it is not wise to use Braille. Using Braille means that the team to evaluate or check the papers will be deputed separately. There is a huge possibility of increasing such problems. Along with you I would also say that making so many norms in order to use a Scribe is unnecessary. it is quite enough that the Writer should be one class junior than the VI Candidate. I even do not see any logic of using the Scribe who has less marks than the applicant when the Scribe is already one standard lower than the examinee.

[AI] Breakthrough: sensors that can convert thoughts into speech
Breakthrough: sensors that can convert thoughts into speech London, September 8, 2010 IANS A mind reading machine has edged closer to reality after scientists found a way of converting thoughts into words. Researchers were able to render brain signals into speech for the first time, relying on sensors attached to the brain surface. The breakthrough, which is up to 90 percent accurate, will be a boon for paralysed patients who cannot speak and could help read anyone’s thoughts ultimately, reports the Telegraph. “We were beside ourselves with excitement when it started working,” said Prof Bradley Greger, bioengineer at the Utah University who led the project. “It was just one of the moments when everything came together. “We have been able to decode spoken words using only signals from the brain with a device that has promise for long-term use in paralysed patients who cannot speak. I would call it brain reading and we hope that in two or three years it will be available for use for paralysed patients.” The breakthrough came when the team attached two button-sized grids of 16 tiny electrodes to an epileptic’s brain’s speech centres, says the journal of Neural Engineering. The patient had part of his skull removed for another operation to treat his condition. Using electrodes, the scientists recorded brain signals in a computer as the patient repeatedly read each of 10 words that might be useful to a paralysed person: yes, no, hot, cold, hungry, thirsty, hello, goodbye, more and less. Then they got him to repeat the words to the computer and it was able to match the brain signals for each word 76 percent to 90 percent of the time. The computer picked up the patient’s brain waves as he talked and did not use any voice recognition software. Because just thinking a word is enough to produce the same brain signals, Prof. Greger and his team believe that soon they will be able to have translation device and voice box that repeats the word you are thinking. Besides, the brains of paralysed people are just as healthy and produce the same signals as those in physically-fit people - it is just they are blocked by injury from reaching the muscle. Researchers said the method needs improvement, but could lead in a few years to clinical trials on paralysed people who cannot speak due to so-called “locked-in” syndrome. “This is proof of concept,” Prof. Greger said adding: “We’ve proven these signals can tell you what the person is saying well above chance.” Source: www.thehindu.com Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

As I wrote the steps to send files using drop box, for some of my friends, so sharing with you, thinking it would be of help to someone. So those of you who knows, sorry for this mail. In dropbox, we have 2 main options to share files: 1. Sending someone a file using public folder. 2. Sharing files with someone using share folder option . Now, 1st let's throw a light on Sending someone a file using public folder option: Note: Please remember, that using this option, you can send only 1 single file. For sending multiple files, you have to send it as a zipped file. Steps: If you go to my documents, you will find an icon my drop box . Open it and you will find public folder. Open this public folder and paste your desired file in this folder. Now it will start uploading To check it's status of uploading, press insert+f11 to open the system tray icon and check with down arrow keys dropbox, or just press letter D, and mister jaws would say something like, dropbox 1 file uploading... Once it is uploaded, it would say, dropbox all files up to date . Once it's done, go to my dropbox/public folder, and keep the cursor on your file which you are uploading. Here, press the application key, and open dropbox sub menu, and then finally, hit enter on copy public link option. Now go to your desired place, or the Email which you are sending and just paste the link there, and you are ready to go! Now about share folder option: 1st trying to throw a spot light on this option: share folder option gives us freedom to share a folder between computers. So any file kept in this folder, will be available in both the computers. Aha! remembering the awsome movie, 3 ediots , toe demo kar kay bataana chaahta hoo. Imagine, we are sharing a folder named, Krishna . Now, go to your my dropbox, which will be in my documents by default, and create a folder, and name it as Krishna. Now copy your desired file which you want me to send, and paste it into Krishna folder. It can be any file, text or an audio such as a Krishna bhajan etc... now, once it finishes uploading, go to my dropbox, keep cursor on that Krishna folder, press application key on that folder,and with down/up arrow keys, keep cursor on dropbox sub menu and press right arrow to open it, or simply press D to reach there, and open it with right arrow. Now with up arrow key, hit enter on share this folder... option . Now the dropbox web page will be opened... Once it's been loaded, look for Enter recipient email addresses here . Under this you will find an edit box saying, Enter recipient email addresses here edit. So enter the person's Email address to whom you want to share this folder with, in this edit box, so according to our example, bhavesh.dha...@gmail.com After entering Email address, there will be a heading stating sending a personal message to that person. So if you wish to write a note, you can write in that below given edit box. Now, you are ready to fly this krishna folder across 7 seas, all over to Dubai, so just hit enter in the below button saying,share folder button . So now, I will get an Email, as well as you will get a confirmation mail. So I have to just click the link given in that mail, so the dropbox web page will be opened, and I have to accept it from the web page. once i do this, automatically, it will start downloading in my laptop, and once downloading is finished, I will see Krishna folder in my dropbox, and inside it, the melodious bhajan in your melodious voice! (smiles) Aha! seems you are tired reading all this right? Okay not boring you more, and shutting down! Sorry if any errors. Bye, God Bless, keep laughing!

Braille is certainly an option and the importance of Braille should not be undermined. How to deal with Braille paper is an operational issue to be dealt with the authority. Certainly the practical way out is to get it transcribed by a person knowing Braille. Sighted or blind. I would go further to state we should write in Braille to authorities to ensure the importance of Braille as a medium. I am unsure if a Braille document can be considered as a legal document although I reckon there should be no bar in it.It should be interesting to know the legal status of Braille. Audio Recording is good, However, it would make the candidate and the scribe very conscious. Let us not make a blind person treated like a criminal.If the scribe does not read well it will still not make the things better as no extra marks would be given for the wrong answer.

But if we want to use it just because some of the candidates are taking the help from their Writers, then use of Computer also seems to be futile and helpless to stop the cheating in the examination since Computer will be very useful to correct the spelling mistakes specially for those who are not that good in English spellings while writing a subjective Paper. I think currently the main theme of our on going discussion is Criteria and eligibility of Scribe, not about the Candidate whether he or she is honestly answering the papers or not. so better if we do not deviate from the original topic and do not discuss about cheating and copying in the exam. Otherwise this will be a endless debate and our motive of preparing the correct guidelines on Scribe eligibility will not be fulfilled, however, the problem of cheating will be remained there unless the Invigilator is very active. I would again say that how can you stop the sighted applicants who copy in the exam? So what my purpose is to say that doing swindle during the examinations is not our problem but the problem lies on the part of Invigilator and related authority who conduct the examination. As far as taking the Exams through Braille is concerned, the idea is good but then I would again say the time needs to be extended for writing the exams since practically writing Braille takes more energy as compare to use the pen and Braille cannot be faster than the print in writing in case of use of simple Braille-Slate. Yes, brailor can indeed be a very useful tool to overcome with the problem of speed but, now question is raised about how to arrange the Brailor, who would afford for those who cannot buy it and there are many such problems involved in the use of Brail script during the examination. So better if we continue with the use of Scribe.

[AI] Blind concession in AC 2 tier apart from Rajdhani
Hi All, Just want to know that is there any concession for the Blind in AC 2 tier apart from Rajdhani Train. Somebody told me that blind are elgible for railway concession both in AC 2 and AC 3 tier. In AC 2 tier the concession is 50% and in AC 3 tier the concession is 75%. When I am clicking on the railways website I can locate the concession for AC 3 tier and not for AC 2 tier. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: [AI] exams.
Not only that, there are some students who are not very conversant with braille, since they've learnt computers from the very beginning. We should keep all the possibilities in mind.

A student appearing in the tenth standard exam will have to write 80 90 pages which is a thing next to impossible.

But my concern is if one braille dot will be here and there or missing the dot makes lot of complication. Knowingly unknowingly it will happen. So many of us knows braille very well but still, some time less pressure it happened. - Original Message - From: Vgem Vadagam vgemvada...@yahoo.co.in To: rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in Cc: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 10:54 PM Subject: [AI] exams. sir, we be proud to use brl. as this the only unique script in the world. acg. to their accent it can be read by any vc. no such script is available for sighted except devanagari. for exams. braillers may be used. computers may be used.

Re: [AI] Blind concession in AC 2 tier apart from Rajdhani
Hello, Yes, railway confer concession to persons with disability and one attendent( can be a family member) travelling with him/her also gets the benefit. But to avail this reservation, it is necessary to carry a disability and concession certificate. Don't have much idea, but I think, if you want to avail the benefits then you have to book the ticket from the counter as the certificates are required for proof, and it cannot be booked online. Don't know the latest rule for booking the ticket, if any.

hello, no any concessionin full a c train like rajdhani, shatabdi, but you can take benefit in other trains, you have to go to book tickets at the special counter of handycap with original railway concession certificate and its photo copy. even during travelling also, it's necessary to keep railway concession sertificate and blind sertificate. - Original Message - From: Swati Sinha swatisinh...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 10:35 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Blind concession in AC 2 tier apart from Rajdhani Hello, Yes, railway confer concession to persons with disability and one attendent( can be a family member) travelling with him/her also gets the benefit.
