Re: [AI] 2, 000 people with disabilities to get jobs in IT, BPO firms
Certainly my English would improve if keep reading these posts. This post going to be long as boss is not there in the office. Anyway, friend Srinivasu I sincerely respect your action oriented arguments. If you like, I can share at least 3 young VI individuals who are desperately looking for employment. TO start with only 1 of them looks to me employable with pay. I completely Agree with Kanchan mam’s argument. One being challenged must have extra to offer. I was forced to start working with out any pay when other college peers partied & had wonderful teenage life. After 4 or 5 months of hard work and learning I had started contributing to that small firm and payment started of Rs. 1500. This is not long back only in Jan 2005. I believe that has paid me off. I finished off as the 2nd highest superior in the same firm in 2009 and today I am working with Reliance ADA group at a respectable position and... But journey hasn’t been that glorious. I faced each problem that has been discussed here. Have cried and every moment made my self competitive, better than able bodied peers around me. If I was not blind I would have been placed on the very first day from my B school campus, but was lucky to at least get placed on the 10th day. So lucky were not my other VI friends who were better than me. So Mantra is keep trying and importantly raise the bar in interpersonal skills, professional knowledge and give results and just grab any opportunity comes your way, . One of these guys who are looking job for last 8 odd months has stubborn salary demand and remains static in his English skills, knowledge etc. and he says he is trying. 8 months in my opinion is a good enough time to show some improvement. Problem is “chalta hain or chal jayega” attitude. Anyway, I take this opportunity to acknowledge XRCVC & Enable India’s efforts to not just give employment to Vis, but to make them employable which In my opinion the very bottom line problem, very very challenging.

Re: [AI] Retina India South India regional conference on inclusive education
I wonder how many experts of such conferences are either partially or totally blind. If such conferences deal with only people having low vision, then I am afraid that they are neglecting a considerable percentage of the visually challenged population Please clarify me if I am missing something here, but the impression I get from the forwarded message is that the south-Indian conference conducted on November 26th was focussed only on issues specific to low vision population. If my impression is correct, then I am afraid that I have to agree with the reservations expressed by many members of the forum on Retina India. So I guess the million $ question is how inclusive is this organization when it comes to the general development of visually challenged persons in India? Vetri. On 07/12/2011, Vamshi.

[AI] Retina India South India regional conference on inclusive education
South India Regional Conference on Inclusive Education The South India Regional Conference on Inclusive Education organised by Retina India on Saturday November 26, 2011 at The Presidency College, Chennai, discussed the issues and concerns in implementing inclusive education, particularly in the context of children afflicted with retinal disorders or any retina related conditions. Experts who participated in the conference spoke on the concept of inclusivity and how it is enshrined in the laws and conventions. The morning sessions, viz, explaining Inclusion as a concept, Low Vision aids and parents perspective, provided teachers the idea of inclusion. Ms Rajul Padmanabhan, Director Vidyasagar and Ms Vaishnavi Jayakumar, Founder The Banyan, spoke respectively on how inclusion has impacted the planning of our educational system and social attitude towards persons with disability. Ms Deepti Bhatya, Deputy Director of Vidyasagar also spoke on how inclusion is a win win situation for children and society at large. The session on low vision aids and accessibility described the various devices used in a classroom context which would help children access study material and learn on their own. Dr Krishna Kumar and his colleague Ms Sarika, who spoke on the session explained about various low vision aids through videos and how they can be accommodated in schools. Parents session, moderated by Prof Kalyanaraman, saw an emotional recollection of a parent’s struggle in finding a school for her son, who has now educated and become a lawyer. In the afternoon session, a string of role models, Mr Vijayakumar a Lawyer, Mr. Sriram a Research Scholar with IITM, Ms Abinaya a RJ, Mr. Sriram a Lecturer with Presidency College Chennai, who have come through the inclusive education system, explained to teachers how their own schools have managed them and what they could learn from inclusive environment. The overwhelming message was that an inclusive education environment is conducive for overall growth of children with visual challenge. During the final session, which was an open forum and moderated by Mr. L Subramani, teachers spoke on the challenges in implementing inclusive education and the wish that conferences such as SIRCIE to be conducted in their own cities. Retina India, while explaining the reasons for focusing on inclusive education, also agreed to work with the teachers who attended the conference from Chennai, Ongole, Tiruchi, Coimbatore etc to help them spread the message of inclusion amongst their fellow teachers and also speak about it in their schools. This is the first step in creating a platform for inclusive education in which Retina India would work with schools and take efforts to create model schools in different regions. -- Vamshi.

[AI] Fw: keyboard -users What is the Difference Between Malware, Virus, Rootkits, Spyware, Worm and Trojans
Taken from another list a very informative post. Whenever your computer starts acting weird and makes it difficult for you to work on, the first thing that comes to you mind is whether a virus has affected your computer. Some of those times, your fears might turn out to be true. Hence it helps to know about these enemies of your computer and get a basic understanding of how they work. That could help you deal with them in a faster & better way. Malware is any malicious program or software that's designed to exploit a computer user. Malware is basically an umbrella term covering computer viruses, worms, Trojan, spyware, rootkit etc. Some of 'em attack the computer programs and files while others attack users confidential data. Let's have a detailed look at their mode of operation. What is a Virus Just as a biological virus replicates itself in a human cell, a computer virus replicates itself in computer memory when initiated by the user. Not only they replicate themselves but may also contain some malicious codes which can affect your files, your operating system or even your master boot records thereby making your computer start slow or not boot at all. There are different types of viruses, some affect the system adversely and leave it completely unusable while some are just written to annoy the user. Disabling task manager or desktop wallpaper is one of the most common ways that virus creators employ to irritate users. As a virus always needs a human action to initiate itself, in a computer most of them attach themselves to an executable .exe file because it knows eventually the user will double click on it to run it and that's all it needs to infect the computer. Yes, unfortunately, most viruses are inadvertently initiated by the computer users themselves and hence it is important that when you install and run programs, you know beforehand that you got them from a trusted source. What is a Worm Practically a worm is an evolved form of a virus. Like virus, worms too replicate and spread themselves but it happens on a bit larger scale. Also, unlike virus, a worm does not need a human action to replicate and spread and that's what makes it more dangerous. A worm always seeks for network loopholes to replicate from computer to computer and thus most common way of intrusion are emails and IM attachments. As the infection is network-based, a good firewall along with antivirus is necessary to control worm attack. Also, this means that blindly downloading email attachments or clicking the links friends share with you in a chat window isn't recommended. Double-check before you do that. What is a Trojan Horse Trojan horse or simply Trojan is a bit interesting. Trojan horse is a program that appears useful by pretending to do certain things in foreground, but in reality they are working silently in background with the only objective of harming your computer and/or stealing valuable information. Let me explain this metaphorically. Suppose you are the CEO of a company and there's an employee in your firm you think is a valuable asset because of some initial success he gave your company. In reality the employee is working for your competitor and destroying your company from within. Now these kinds of employees can be considered as a Trojan horses if you consider the company as your computer. Most common way to invite a Trojan horse to your computer is downloading malicious software like keys, cracks, free illegal music, wares etc from an unknown source. Thus the best way to stay away from Trojans is by making sure you install software from trusted sources. What is a Spyware Spywares are also malicious computer programs that can be installed on computers but unlike any of the above they don't harm your computer in any way. Instead, they attack you! Once installed on a system they run in background and keep on collecting user's personal data. These data can include your credit card numbers, passwords, important files and many other personal stuff. Spywares can track your keystrokes, scan and read your computer files, snoop IM chats and emails and God knows what else. Therefore again it's always advisable to download and install software from trusted sources. What is a Rootkit Rootkits are computer programs that are designed by attackers to gain root or administrative access to your computer. Once an attacker gains admin privilege, it becomes a cake walk for him to exploit your system. We have already discussed rootkit in detail previously and you can have a look at it for in-depth knowledge.

Re: [AI] 2, 000 people with disabilities to get jobs in IT, BPO firms
thanks Rajesh very well put. The difference from my time and now is that in the old days we got no money for working with a law office but now they pay something even though it may be peanuts and now there is a chance for VI to practise commercial law and sit in office and work on the computer thus relying less but not eliminating the need for a sighted assistant. The problem for a VI is how does he get in and then prove his worth as a junior. Once you get in and prove some worth then you get paid well these days. In my time even as Advocate assistant or Solicitor Assistant you could not live on the salary received therefore there was no choice but to start your own practise or go to a job. Now the salaries are good without the headache of infrastructure costs. Yes knowledge is required but you got to first convince at an interview and then show your skills at the computer. Litigation is tough and tougher for a VI and definitely not remunerative till you have some years of standing. The pressures are more now and the speed of output has increased. therefore the time to train a VI is something that puts people off. Unfortunately those who want to take up this profession first finish their studies and then ask questions. They have lost 5 years in the bargain. Also when I tell them that they have to know computers well, I get a reluctance and resistance to detailed learning. We have to overcome our disability so that it only remains an impairment.

Has good computer knowledge 3. Knows the subject at a level which can be called above average, 4. is from economically well-off family to enable her/him to be without income for a considerable time, Otherwise not. These are the conjunctive requirements and not disjunctive. This is the harsh reality which should be explained to any prospective lawyers. I could not practice despite fulfilling clearly the requirement No. 3, as I did not fulfill requirements 1 and 4. Requirement 2 was inapplicable in our days -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Pamnani Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 7:47 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] 2, 000 people with disabilities to get jobs in IT, BPO firms I agree that jobs are very difficult for the visually challenged in the corporate sector but I do think being self employed is also very tough. I have been getting emails and calls from youngsters who want to join law and I really dont know what to do.How to explain to people how tough it is to survive and how to get them an entry into the profession? Most of the visually challenged prospective lawyers have : a. finished law degree without working while they study so they have no experience while their peers have worked atleast during 4 vacations. Its so tough to get an internship and if you dont get one you dont have experience after college so no employer wants you. its really a catch 22 situation. b. not adequate knowledge of screen readers-most people who call me say they know computers but most of the time they know very little. They cant type fast nor is their research skill honed nor do they know how to deal with track changes. Again if the visually challenged lawyer would know these skills then he could be marketed and someone would give him a chance.Knowledge of computers more than your sighted peers would be a marked advantage and may to some extent mitigate the effect of the impairment. c. lack of knowledge of braille- d. No superior knowledge of the subject. e. no sighted help to read papers I agree that I should not be compared with my able bodied peers but how does someone convince a professional to allow someone to sit in his office? How does a client get convinced enough to trust you with his matter? Forget about the law and give me the practical solutions.
