hello during the coronavirus outbreak

Say no to a handshake, give up high fives, refuse kisses on the cheek and 
definitely avoid hugging.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/03/the-end-of-the-handshake-saying-hello-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak
All around the world people are changing their daily habits at work and at home 
to reduce the risk of contracting the coronavirus and prevent it from spreading.

Here are some of the ways that habits are changing around the world.

China
In Beijing, the capital of the country where the outbreak began, red billboards 
tell people not to shake hands but to join their own hands together in a sign 
of greeting.

Loudspeakers tell people to make the traditional gong shou gesture (a fist in 
the opposite palm) to say hello.
France
Newspapers have been filled with advice over how to replace handshaking – a 
daily formality for the French at work and kissing on the cheek, a regular 
greeting habit in France even between people who have only just met.

Lifestyle expert Philippe Lichtfus, who has been widely cited in the media, 
insists that handshakes are a relatively recent development in human history 
that began in the Middle Ages.

He says simply looking into a person’s eyes can suffice as a greeting.

Australia
Brad Hazzard, the New South Wales health minister, advised people not to shake 
hands and instead give each other a pat on the back. “I won’t say don’t kiss” 
he said, “but you could be exercising a degree of care and caution with whom 
you choose to kiss.”

Brazil
The Brazilian health ministry has recommended that citizens not share the metal 
straws traditionally used to consume the caffeine-rich South American drink 
mate, also known as chimarrão.

And a kiss – even if it is not on the mouth – is totally advised against.

Germany
In a sign of the times, Germany’s interior minister Horst Seehofer rebuffed 
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s attempt to shake hands with him on Monday, smiling 
and keeping both his hands to himself.

They both laughed and Merkel threw her hand up in the air before taking a seat.

Spain
The outbreak could also hit one of Spain’s most cherished traditions – the 
kissing of sculptures of the Virgin Mary in the week leading up to Easter.

With just a month to go before the week starts, the ritual could be banned. “It 
is one of the measures that is on the table,” said national health official 
Fernando Simon.

During the holy week, the faithful queue up to kiss the hands or feet of 
sculptures of Mary and the saints, seeking their protection.

Romania
Romania’s Martisor festival marks the beginning of spring when talismanic 
strings and flowers are handed out, often from men to women.

But the government has passed on a message to people urging them to hand over 
the flowers and talismans without the accompanying kiss.
“Let’s give the flowers but not the kiss,” said Nelu Tataru, state secretary at 
the health ministry.

Poland
In Poland, one of Europe’s most Catholic countries, the faithful are allowed to 
take “spiritual communion” instead of consuming the communal bread – or the 
host can be taken in the hands rather than the mouth.

The faithful are also asked not to dip their hands in the holy water when going 
in and out of the church and instead make the sign of the cross.

Iran
In Iran, where 66 have been killed by the coronavirus, a video has gone viral 
showing three friends meeting, hands in their pockets and two of whom are 
wearing masks, tapping their feet against each other as a greeting.

A similar video in Lebanon shows singer Ragheb Alama and comedian Michel Abou 
Sleiman tapping their feet against each other while making kissing noises with 
their mouths.

UAE
The United Arab Emirates, as well as Qatar, are advising citizens to stop the 
traditional “nose to nose” greeting. The UAE also said that people shouldn’t 
shake hands anymore or kiss. Greet each other “by waving only”, it said.

Rules 304-306 provide for free postage of Blind literature, as far as I 
remember. Please mention exactly "Blind Literature" on the

envelope. Refer to rules 304-306 while talking to the postmaster.

Hi Mr. Amiyo

Recently I have posted some study material to one of my friend through
registry couple of weeks ago.
I have written down on envelope:
This is study material for blind persons. please don't press it or
damage anyway.
But still post office charged for it.
my query is, do we need to separately mentioned to post officials
verbally that it is free of cost or what?

We should do something about it now.

Dear Listers,

Greetings of the day
Can anyone on the list help me with the information on international
postage on free literature for blind from India?
Is there any such provision? What is the supporting evidence
(document) for the same?
I know that there is a provision in in-land posting for free
literature for the blind. If somebody having the practical experience
in the subject matter, kindly give me the opportunity to get in touch
with you for the desired help.
Thanks in anticipation

   Dear Anirudh,

Try using the ABBYY FineReader. It is an optical character recognition
application developed by ABBYY. The program allows the conversion of image
documents into editable electronic formats. In particular, Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Rich Text Format, HTML, PDF/A,
searchable PDF, CSV and txt files. I have not used it personally but have
found people recommending it.

Hope this helps

[AI] Janni Lehrer-Stein writes in the NyTimes: What It’s Like to Use Facebook When You’re Blind

2020-03-02 Thread avinash shahi
For years, scrolling through my newsfeed was frustrating and
confusing. Then facial recognition came along.
Imagine scrolling through Facebook with all the images blacked out.
You can read your friends’ jokes and their commentary on the links
they share. But vacation photos? Visual memes? A video of an old
school friend’s anniversary party? All of these visuals, with their
rich details and subtexts, are concealed from view.

Looking for more business news? We can help.

Yes
For years, that was essentially my experience on Facebook, and it
remains that way for me on other social media platforms and the
internet at large. You see, I am blind. I rely on a screen reader to
use my computer — it reads the words in text out loud. Since a screen
reader recognizes only words and numbers, photographs, diagrams and
other images are often inaccessible.

Three years ago, my life on Facebook transformed. Now my screen reader
tells me that I am “looking” at a photograph of my sister, standing on
a beach in Hawaii, enjoying a colorful sunset, or that my children are
together at their favorite cafe, sharing brunch and smiling at each
other.

This change occurred thanks to a technology that usually gets negative
attention in the press: facial recognition.

I wanted to explore Facebook from its earliest days, just like
everyone else. But without accessibility tools, I could understand
very little of the content posted by other users. I was frustrated.
Fortunately, I knew Elliot Schrage, then Facebook’s vice president of
communications and public policy, because our sons attended the same
school. Elliot agreed to meet with me and I told him all about what
it’s like to be a blind Facebook user and how the platform could do a
better job of including people with disabilities. He assured me that
Facebook was on it.

And it was. In July of 2011, Facebook established an accessibility
team. Nonetheless, access during those first years remained very
limited. I could hear only that my newsfeed contained “photos.” There
was no way for me to understand what the pictures were about. My time
on Facebook was both enticing and frustrating. I wanted to understand
and appreciate everything that my Facebook friends shared, but I
couldn’t.
In 2016 Facebook introduced “automatic alt text” technology to help
identify objects. This feature uses artificial intelligence to sense
standard outlines of common objects, like people, dogs and trees, and
then speaks their generic label. Instead of hearing only “photo” when
my cursor scrolled down my newsfeed, I could then understand that the
photo contained a picture of something like “two people, indoors” or
“trees and flowers with blue sky.” This kind of description allowed me
to guess what the picture might be about, but still largely excluded
me from understanding its content and context.

Alt text created even more questions for me. Who were those people in
the picture? What kind of trees, what color flowers? While it was a
step in the right direction, alt text would never describe the images
flooding my newsfeed every day sufficiently to let me participate
fully in Facebook.

Then, a breakthrough: Facebook introduced facial recognition for
photos in January 2017. This feature identifies many of the subjects
in photographs while allowing users to opt in or out for privacy
reasons. A scroll through my Facebook newsfeed today identifies by
name most of the people contained in the photographs. Rather than
guessing who the subject of a picture is, I hear the names of my loved
ones.
While sighted users may take these details for granted, this
technology allows me to understand both context and content, the
nuances of smiling faces and the brilliance of colorful sunsets, even
though I cannot actually view them. Without facial recognition
technology, I would never know that my daughter posted candid pictures
from her wedding, or that my niece proudly displayed photos of her
son’s first steps. I can now enjoy these details that make up the
fabric of our lives and participate in a meaningful way.

Unfortunately, Facebook is the only major social media platform to
embrace facial recognition for accessibility purposes. Other social
media sites use automatic alt text technology. Instagram is one of
many sites that even let users write and post their own “alt text”
descriptions. But it’s not enough: Every site on the internet should
use facial recognition. This would allow blind and low-vision users
full entry to everything that the web has to offer.

If Facebook can do it, so can other sites — especially Instagram,
which is owned by Facebook. The internet relies on photographs and
images for everything from social interaction to commerce. The
internet must be fully accessible to everyone.

That said, I do not approve of uncontrolled deployment of facial
recognition technology. I understand and support communities pushing
to limit the use of facial recognition by government, including
immigration and law

Re: [AI] ANDROID VOICE ASSISTANT

2020-03-02 Thread PRAMIT BHARGAVA
Hi,

TalkBack is the default screen reader on the Android devices except for
Samsung. Default screen reader for Samsung devices is Voice Assistant.
WIth the Samsung devices you can side load TalkBack and can use either
Voice Assistant or TalkBack.
The difference between the two is basically the Gestures.

Hope this helps

Pramit
