Vamshi 9949349497-Original message- From: sujith kumar Sent: 13/07/2012, 3:10 pm To: accessindia Subject: [AI] Request for responses against the injustice. Respected members, This is regarding the Complaint about Kerala PSC’s Last Grade Servant suitability test and rank list for the visually challenged. I applied for the post of last grade servant in Thrissur district in Kerala PSC (Category no. 508/2009). As I am a partially blind person (75% disability), I requested for a scribe, and wrote the exam with the help of the scribe allowed for me. I secured 73 marks in the written exam and thereby attained a place in the special probability list for physically handicapped, published by the Thrissur District PSC office. As a result, I received a letter from Psc to attend the certificate verification and suitability test on 09.05.2012 in the District PSC office, Thrissur. PSC conducted the suitability test by way of giving news paper to read, and I failed to do it. On 29.06.2012, KPSC published the rank list for the same by dropping me. Thus, I have been denied the right to be in the rank list. If I will be in the rank list I will be in the 4th place among the blind persons in the rank list. Now the marks of last candidate in the partially blind category in the rank list is minus 1. Even though I had acquired 73 marks, I was denied the place in the rank list and thereby also the job opportunity, because of the “unsuitable for the post” statement result of the suitability test. The recruitment is for the various departments of the Kerala Government with a very large number of vacancies. Also at the same time, 5 persons with 100% disability and 2 persons with the same percentage of disability in Trivandrum and Kottayam districts respectively have been included in the rank list. A point to be noted is that, as the process of “newspaper reading” was not applied for the suitability test in the other districts other than Thrissur, as a result, larger number of persons having 90% disability was included in the rank list. So, when persons with 100% disability and persons having negative marks were included in the rank list, I, instead of scoring 73 marks and having 75% disability was neglected from the list. Due to this injustice shown towards me, I decided to file a case in the court and have approached a lawyer for helping me to obtain the rights. The lawyer has informed that most probably by Tuesday (July 17th), the case will be filed in the Kerala Administration Tribunal. So, dear members, if you have any informations regarding these type of cases and judgments or if you have any documents or government orders regarding this matter please do mail or inform me ASAP. I had also faced the similar problem in the suitability test of LD clerk post a couple of months ago. So, if there are any other ways also for availing justice, please do help me! Once again I am requesting to all the members to please respond to this mail with suitable suggestions and informations! With thanks and regards, Sujithkumar E.N Mob:

Then open Start menu all programs baraha x baraha direct. Note: 'x' here stands for the version here. Now you should be able to see Baraha direct Icon in your System tray (usually Bottom right corner of your video display unit / monitor) Jaws users can use 'Ins+f11' for bringing up the system tray Icon list. Click the right mouse button on Baraha direct Icon, A context menu will be popped, then navigate to 'Malayalam' 'Malayalam' is a sub menu, in Malayalam sub menu, choose the Item 'Unicode' and hit enter. Note: at any time, if you want to switch back to English, press 'f11' and press the same key to switch to Malayalam. Now press 'f11' to switch back to English, open word, set the font to either 'Kartika' or to 'arial Unicode Ms' and again press 'f11' and start Typing in. The typed text will be displayed in Malayalam. The keyboard layout is phonetic, thats to say, lik typing in English. Eg: if you Type malayALaM it will be displaied as Malayalam in Malayalam Alphabets. Hope this clears your doubt.

[AI] Fw: Georgie, a smartphone app for the visually impaired, now
Hi all, hope all are doing fine pasting below article, which get from another site. Regards Wahid -- Forwarded message -- Georgie, a smartphone app for the visually impaired, now available Applications, News, By Chris Parsons | Jul 13 2012 | 2:44 pm | 3 Comments Addressing the smartphone market for the visually impaired is an ongoing task. Over the years, there have been plenty of advancements in this area with the introduction of numerous applications, voice technology and on screen accessibility features but now a new entrant into the market is seeking to help folks as well. Screenreader, a not-for-profit company, has now introduced the Android based Georgie app in the U.K where there 1 in every 30 people suffer from some sort of visual impairment. Using existing Samsung phones like the Samsung XCover and Galaxy Ace 2, picked specifically to be easy to use for blind users, Georgie offers a whole new experience by allowing for such things as managing contacts, using speech input to send text messages and tag previous routes or hazards (like potholes or low hanging branches) using navigation apps. Georgie is available for purchase on the Google Play Store in a number of different packages. The base package with all features is available for £299 with additional feature sets available for £149. You can look at the full press release below or check out the source link for video on how Georgie works on devices. Source: ScreenReader World's first smartphone for blind people available today Georgie, a smartphone designed for blind people, by blind people, is launching today to transform the lives of the almost 2 million people in the UK living with sight loss. Developed by not-for-profit social enterprise Screenreader and available through exclusive partners Sight and Sound Technology, the new smartphone includes apps built specifically to help blind users navigate day-to-day obstacles like catching a bus, reading printed text and knowing their exact whereabouts in unfamiliar areas. Tasks more commonly associated with smartphones like using Twitter, reading text messages and taking a picture have also been updated to be much easier to use and accessible to visually impaired people for the first time. Georgie is available from £299, or the unique features are available to download as an app for anyone with an existing Android smartphone from £149. Founded by blind husband and wife team Roger and Margaret Wilson-Hinds, Screenreader had a clear idea about how a smartphone should be for visually impaired users, so enlisted Alan Kemp as Chief Technical Officer to bring the idea to fruition. Georgie, named after Margaret's first Golden Labrador guide dog, is the work of 18 months of development and testing, working closely with the blind community for their feedback. Georgie makes use of Google's Android operating system and existing Samsung phones like the Samsung XCover and Galaxy Ace 2, picked specifically to be easy to use for blind users. The large buttons on an uncluttered screen, voice feedback whenever the screen's touched and an innovative way to select the desired option also make the basic functions of the phone easier to use for visually impaired people, as well as those unfamiliar with modern technology. I was able to send my very first text just earlier this year thanks to Georgie said Screenreader co-founder Roger Wilson-Hinds. It's exactly that type of digital experience we want to make easily available to people with little or no sight. More than that though, it's also going to help solve every day problems for blind people so they can be more confident about navigating the real world and become independent. Glenn Tookey, CEO of Sight and Sound Technology added Companies like Apple and Google have done a good job of adding accessibility tools to smartphones, but Georgie is the first smartphone solution developed with the visually impaired in mind. For that reason Georgie offers relevant features which, coupled with our expertise in offering customer support to the blind community, makes for a really exciting, well supported product that we're proud to exclusively distribute. Out of the box Georgie comes with features to let users dial a number with the voice assisted touchscreen, manage contacts, use speech input to send text messages and tag previous routes or hazards (like potholes or low hanging branches) using the navigation apps. A variety of additional apps are also available for purchase and bundled into three different packages, Travel, Lifestyle or Communicate, to add more functions to support different aspects of daily life that blind people may currently find challenging. These bundles are available for £24.99 each and include the following extra features: · Travel o Near me - find places of interest - everything from bus stops and cafes to the local zoo o Buses - know when the next bus is arriving and when to get off o Weather - forecasts for

[AI] Chennai to host Chess Olympiad for blind
Thaindian News www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/chennai-t Chennai, July 14 (IANS) The 14th IBCA Chess Olympiad for the Blind will be held here Aug 9-19. It will be the first time Asia will host the event. After the successful conduct of the 11th Individual World Chess Championship for the Blind 2006 in Goa, the International Braille Chess Association (IBCA) Congress awarded this event to India unanimously. The last edition at Heraklion in Greece saw a total of 164 players from 34 countries take part. The traditional powerhouse of chess, Russia, took the gold with Ukraine and Spain clinching the silver and bronze medals. World champion Viswanathan Anand has been a morale booster to the Indian blind team. Anand's positive initiative helped the Indian team to take part in the IBCA Chess Olympiad in Greece. Charudatta Jadhav, general secretary of AICFB, said Friday: Anand's support gives me huge motivation and inner strength to initiate ambitious programmes to take chess for the blind at next level in spite of several adversities. Impressed by the blind team's work, Anand said: I have interacted with many visually challenged players and I can say honestly that these players have a special talent. I am really happy to see them so motivated. What has struck me is their love for chess. I have found that they are preparing intensely for the championship and are not shying away from hard work. I think they are quite motivated and feel deep down that they will be successful. Anand thanked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalaithaa for extending support to the team. The blind chess player from Chennai, Srikrishna, could take part in the world blind event in Greece, thanks to the timely support of the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Thirtyone countries have confirmed their participation, including 25 International Masters, five International Woman Masters and 120 FIDE rated players. The championship will be a team event, comprising nine rounds and a match between two teams will be played on four boards. Each team will field a maximum of five players, the fifth player being the reserve. In addition to the gold, silver and bronze medals to the top three ranked teams, similar medals are at stake for the best three individuals on each of the five boards. International Arbiter R. Anantharam, the only A grade International Arbiter in India, is the chief arbiter of the tournament.

[AI] That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker
By PETER MAASS and MEGHA RAJAGOPALAN THE device in your purse or jeans that you think is a cellphone — guess again. It is a tracking device that happens to make calls. Let’s stop calling them phones. They are trackers. Javier Jaén Benavides Most doubts about the principal function of these devices were erased when it was recently disclosed that cellphone carriers responded 1.3 million times last year to law enforcement requests for call data. That’s not even a complete count, because T-Mobile, one of the largest carriers, refused to reveal its numbers. It appears that millions of cellphone users have been swept up in government surveillance of their calls and where they made them from. Many police agencies don’t obtain search warrants when requesting location data from carriers. Thanks to the explosion of GPS technology and smartphone apps, these devices are also taking note of what we buy, where and when we buy it, how much money we have in the bank, whom we text and e-mail, what Web sites we visit, how and where we travel, what time we go to sleep and wake up — and more. Much of that data is shared with companies that use it to offer us services they think we want. We have all heard about the wonders of frictionless sharing, whereby social networks automatically let our friends know what we are reading or listening to, but what we hear less about is frictionless surveillance. Though we invite some tracking — think of our mapping requests as we try to find a restaurant in a strange part of town — much of it is done without our awareness. “Every year, private companies spend millions of dollars developing new services that track, store and share the words, movements and even the thoughts of their customers,” writes Paul Ohm, a law professor at the University of Colorado. “These invasive services have proved irresistible to consumers, and millions now own sophisticated tracking devices (smartphones) studded with sensors and always connected to the Internet.” Mr. Ohm labels them tracking devices. So does Jacob Appelbaum, a developer and spokesman for the Tor project, which allows users to browse the Web anonymously. Scholars have called them minicomputers and robots. Everyone is struggling to find the right tag, because “cellphone” and “smartphone” are inadequate. This is not a semantic game. Names matter, quite a bit. In politics and advertising, framing is regarded as essential because what you call something influences what you think about it. That’s why there are battles over the tags “Obamacare” and “death panels.” In just the past few years, cellphone companies have honed their geographic technology, which has become almost pinpoint. The surveillance and privacy implications are quite simple. If someone knows exactly where you are, they probably know what you are doing. Cellular systems constantly check and record the location of all phones on their networks — and this data is particularly treasured by police departments and online advertisers. Cell companies typically retain your geographic information for a year or longer, according to data gathered by the Justice Department. What’s the harm? The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, ruling about the use of tracking devices by the police, noted that GPS data can reveal whether a person “is a weekly church goer, a heavy drinker, a regular at the gym, an unfaithful husband, an outpatient receiving medical treatment, an associate of particular individuals or political groups — and not just one such fact about a person, but all such facts.” Even the most gregarious of sharers might not reveal all that on Facebook. There is an even more fascinating and diabolical element to what can be done with location information. New research suggests that by cross-referencing your geographical data with that of your friends, it’s possible to predict your future whereabouts with a much higher degree of accuracy. This is what’s known as predictive modeling, and it requires nothing more than your cellphone data. If we are naïve to think of them as phones, what should we call them? Eben Moglen, a law professor at Columbia University, argues that they are robots for which we — the proud owners — are merely the hands and feet. “They see everything, they’re aware of our position, our relationship to other human beings and other robots, they mediate an information stream around us,” he has said. Over time, we’ve used these devices less for their original purpose. A recent survey by O2, a British cell carrier, showed that making calls is the fifth-most-popular activity for smartphones; more popular uses are Web browsing, checking social networks, playing games and listening to music. Smartphones are taking over the functions that laptops, cameras, credit cards and watches once performed for us. If you want to avoid some surveillance, the best option is to use cash for prepaid cellphones that do not require identification. The
