[AI] Thai air - unhelpful
Hi guys, I am travelling alone to Fuket on Thai air this friday. As always , on an international flight, I called their customer service and informed them that I would be needing an escort to the aircraft and back. To by surprise and dismay they are saying that I cannot travel unescorted. On my insistance, they said that they can give a wheelchair/escort upto the aerobridge and I will have to go up the ramp on my own or with a fellow passenger. This is the first time I am travelling Thai air alone and am shocked at their service. I have travelled on European airlines alone and have never felt this way. What do you guys suggest I should do?

[AI] Blindfolding sighted to sensitize causing more harm than good
https://longmoreinstitute.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/teaching-the-sighted-about-blindness-in-a-way-that-doesnt-suck-leave-your-blindfolds-at-home/ Teaching the Sighted about Blindness in a Way that Doesn’t Suck (Leave your Blindfolds at Home!) Posted by esbeitiks in Uncategorized For years, well-intentioned teachers have used simulation activities to teach sighted people about blindness. You put on a blindfold, stagger around a building for a few minutes, and typically rip the blindfold off at the end with a newfound gratitude that you aren’t one of those poor, tragic blind people. Understandably, blind people have criticized this educational “tool” for causing more harm than good, when all it simulates is the first few moments of seeing nothing. Who wouldn’t be completely traumatized by being thrown into the world without learning the many alternative ways of doing things? After taking a tour of the state-of-the-art San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired that will open June 10, I am excited to report that new options are coming, (and you can leave the blindfold at home!). Just teach your students about the design and access features in this new building, and maybe if you’re really lucky, like I was, you too can take a guided tour with project manager Elizabeth Freer (sighted) and project architect Chris Downey (blind). This lesson will leave sighted folks with a stronger grasp of how blind people navigate the world and how really smart design to minimize barriers might make doing it even easier in the future. The building is located at 1155 Market street. LightHouse bought the entire building, but will occupy the top floors 9-11 and rent the other spaces. Here’s what happens when blind people have the clout and the resources to call the shots with an appreciation for beauty and a sense of playfulness. From floor to ceiling, the project team has worked eighteen-hour days to ensure that the building’s design incorporates what can only be described as an aesthetic of blind and low vision users. Different textures on the floor distinguish between highly trafficked paths and workspaces. Lights and sounds direct people towards exits and determine what direction they are facing (as 95% of blind or low vision people see light). Acoustic designs throughout provide important cues, from how to operate the audio-visual equipment to what else is going on in the community space. Chris Downey holds white can and wears hardhat next to Elizabeth Freer, also in hard hat, as they both talk to one of the building workers. A brief pause on the tour while Chris and Elizabeth test the sound of the newly installed fans in the training kitchen. Another obstacle: safety from fires vs. the need to minimize all background noise. And it isn’t all utilitarian. Wood on the handrails and the edges of tables are satisfying to touch, just as the floor texture was also chosen so that cane tips had a pleasant sound and feel for users getting from one of the plush small offices to one of the many open areas to share coffee and converse. Together, every detail lets visitors know that they’re in the center of a very happening place to be. As blind architect Chris Downey put it for San Francisco magazine, “We wanted to convey the idea that this is an exciting place and promote a sense of possibility as opposed to the idea of fear.” I won’t spoil all the building’s secrets before their big launch, but the whole experience blew me away (and luckily for me, I will get to visit this space often as the Longmore Institute partners with the LightHouse to run Superfest: International Disability Film Festival). After the tour, Longmore Institute Director Catherine Kudlick remarked, “I was near tears at a few points. It really feels like the dawn of a new era for blind folk!” But even better yet, the design team didn’t limit their focus to blindness and considered all forms of access, for example, for Deaf people, wheelchair riders, little people, the needs of families. At the Longmore Institute, we know how challenging this can be from our efforts to maximize access while designing the “Patient No More” exhibit. Competing accommodations can be difficult to negotiate, but the art of striking the right balance is so very worth it when it succeeds, bringing different disability communities together. So, educators who feel that impulse to teach your sighted students about blindness, look to the SF LightHouse instead! When the building opens, sighted visitors will see people new to blindness training alongside old hands updating their tech and cooking skills. They’ll see blind staff people working in nearly every aspect of operations, including Executive Director Bryan Bashin. As Paul Longmore once said, “Prejudice is a far greater problem to overcome than any impairment; discrimination is a bigger obstacle than any disability.” Here’s to replacing those traditional simulations of blindness that leave participants feeling sad

Re: [AI] Regarding Inclusive Education and Special School.
bhyavya you are bright and extraordinary so please do not only consider your example when discussion is regard to inclusive and special education. this is a great topic. we wish to have views of masses and not just affluent. this is a good healthy discussion so do not take every post is against and for you with your response for every sentences in the text. and also bhavya please do not criticize and promote ngos. there are very young organizations and others serving blind since many decades. there are rich organizations serving only affluent and others serving masses with their reach across india. you are very very young but others list members here are having great experience and understanding of ground reality. when you discourage braille and promote only laptop consider power issue once you are out of metros and unavailability of basic facilities in families/schools having blind child. you have put across your views.

Re: [AI] Fwd: SimplEye - We are all ears!!
I agree to haresh sir. product development should be done with proper testing by real users. unfortunately recently many many programmers, IIT people, have launched devics, apps but they are all limited or not really useful. these people never consult properly with blind. I remember somebody mentioned accessible chesss board what is it? where it is? it was mentioned blind organizzation helped? and so many other android apps. one good success story is of I I t Delhi smart cane. they did good testing with blind group of people. we need usable products not just symbolism development in the name of blind for publicity. Simple eye is a really good concept. we need better understanding or someone should explain it properly. at present we are lost on how to use it efficiently and is it replacement for talk back or it is a partial product? please help and provide info on simple eye. tsincerely ajay On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Kotian, H P hpkot...@rbi.org.in wrote: Hi Pleasure to have you in the list. Glad that you are amongst us to listen to our woes. To start with, our problem is to understand what this app can do and its features. Secondly to know the gestures to drive it fully without sight. I think, for this, it is necessary to have a podcast which gives in detail how the various tasks can be done entirely by gestures without looking at the screen. For this, you need to train at least 1 blind person who can do the recording. Another point to consider is that the app should be fully compatible with Talkback and there should not be any conflict how various tasks are done by Talkback. Let us know in which city your developers are based where we can get a blind volunteer to get trained up. It is very much necessary to work this project up having our close participation in the lifecycle of this product. As a concept, I liked this product but I am afraid, I could not do much with it so far.

Through groups like yours, organisations in network, direct conversations with users and on social media, we learnt a lot of feedback about the launcher. I understand that the simplicity and Braille typing are the most appreciated features of the app and request for more features is the most common demand. I wish to share that we are an India based company, with all design, development and testing being done here. Hence, we prioritized India for our product launch. And now that we are hearing so much about our product, we want to make sure we include all your suggestions in product upgrades and make sure you get absolutely the best experience and nothing less. Our intention was to start with a basic platform and make it super-useful with your help. I see we are on that path. To this end, I am covering some of the requests below: - Application Quit bug: we noticed application wasn't quitting properly and was reopening on some phones. We have corrected this and new version is available for download. - Braille Keyboard gestures: most users were very fast in typing but found space and delete gestures as speed breakers, we have improved this (and other gesture) and it will be available soon after Diwali. - Braille Keyboard as a separate app: I know many of you loved the idea of having this keyboard in your android launcher. We have taken this up too, and it will be available by end of October. - Also, as a bonus, we are adding Navigation feature in the launcher. You will be able to use this to locate yourself, hear the direction on compass, search for locations and step-by-step navigate to them, and save destinations and markers on way. Friends, I again want to emphasise that we are closer home than you think! We will be happy to upgrade our app to better suit your needs so thank you for your suggestions and keep them coming.

Now lets see the issues in perspective- 1. We have a problem with texts not reaching the students in time for the academic year.So the government has budgeted for improvement of old braille presses and setting up new ones. Great laudable initiative. a. Has anyone amongst us spoken about the quality of reading by our so called braille teachers? Unless we demand quality education from both inclusive and special schools we are not going to go further. The basics of education for a blind child is braille and I am sorry to see the condition of braille reading in this country. For this we can blame our teachers and for the bad quality of teachers we can blame the NGOs to some extent, who train and certify such teachers. Who is going to bell this cat? The problem of material may soon get over because of this budget but then who is going to use this material and who is going to decipher it for our young ones? b. I cannot comment on the financial issues of running a braille press because I have never gone into that area with any NGO. there are many who can comment on this issue. c. The quality of material churned out by these Braille presses- I cannot comment from my own knowledge but I am told by many people who use these presses that the quality is not so good now because the proof reading is not good enough. d. The issue of distribution, merging with technology and widening the reach of these presses others who deal with these matters can fill us in with. 2. Notes with Braille marking-great initiative on paper This has been in the pipeline for quite a while. a. The possibility of actually being able to distinguish marks whether braille or raised numbers or some tactile indicators depends upon the paper used and on how we use the notes.Therefore I think it is a great initiative but may not result in much. RBI is going to come out with Rs. 10 notes in plastic-maybe that can be a test case for the tactile markings. b. The number of persons with congenitle blindness is reducing because of better nutrition, eradication of smallpox etc. The number of late blind is increasing for various reasons including the fact that people are living longer and may get age related diseases so the kinds of users is changing. This does not take away from the fact that braille is important but acceptance of universal design is important too. We must also focus on the other 3 items mentioned in the budget-all these have been on the anvil for a while. Also we

Copying a letter below which is self explanatory. Court of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities Ministry of Social Justice Empowerment Case No: 118/1092/12-13/R 528 Dated: 24.01.2013 To The Joint Secretary (Marketing) Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shastri Bhawan New Delhi. Sub:Complaint of Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma against discrimination in distribution of LPG gasagency. Sir, I invite your attention on the above subject enclosing a copy of petition/representation dated 23.01.2013 received from Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma. 2. Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma's complaint is in respect of discriminatory treatment being meted out to persons with blindness in the matter of allotment of LPG gas agency. 3. Para 6.2.2(b) I of your Guidelines regarding Selection of regular LPG Distributors says that completely blind persons are not eligible to apply for distributorship of LPG gas agency. The brochure is being enclosed herewith for ready reference with the complaint of Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma. 4. It goes without saying that this kind of treatment runs counter to the spirit and purpose of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. More particularly in the face of the fact that there exists instances where completely blind persons are successfully running and managing LPG agency. 5. Section 59 of the Act mandates the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities on his own motion or on application of any aggrieved person or otherwise to look into the complaints inter-alia, with respect to matters relating to deprivation of rights of persons with disabilities. 6. In the above view of the matter, the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Govt. of India has directed as follows:- (a) The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas may please submit the comments in respect of the matter within 30 days of receipt of this communication. (b) Please ensure that persons with disabilities are not deprived of their legitimate rights. Yours faithfully, Encl: A/a. Sd/- (S.S. Sinha) Dy.

Re: [AI] Disibility certificate
Thanks for all the suggestions. But These guys had come to JJ hospital Mumbai, after being refused at Jalgoan Civil hospital, and they were redirected back. Matter of jurisdiction was the reason given. What is the disability upon which a certificate has to be given? Does this vary from state to state or hospital to hospital? These guys, due to their economic and educational background, are not in a position to forcefully argue with the hospital authorities. Hence if the relevant portions of the PWD act etc can be given it will help them a lot. thanks Arvind Bhartiya On 4/24/12, Asudani, Rajesh rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in wrote: Then too, Vamshi, authorities insist the certificate should be issued by authorities where you are domiciled, they even insist on district sometimes.

Re: [AI] kind attention legal experts: disability certificket to dixlexic?
Dear Prateek, There are designated bodies who evaluate the problem and issue certificates in that regard. In Mumbai there is the Maharashtra Dislexic Association (MDA) which does the necessary testing and issues the report/certificate. This is accepted by all schools here. This includes the state board, I C SE , as well as CBSE. Some government hospitals also do the same. The sion and Nair hospitals are authorised for this in Mumbai.

It may be stated that blind passengers fall in the category of incapacitated passengers who do not require any medical clearance or special forms and only require special assistance at the airport or in embarking/disembarking. In view of the above, all the airlines are directed to formulate a detailed policy for carriage of disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility including blind and publish the same on their respective website. All the airlines are also directed to make the same available at different airports and also sensitize their employees in this regard.

Re: [AI] Now listen to Kama Sutra anywhere, anytime
Dear Rajesh, Pasted below is the article as it appeared in the Times of India today. Imagine having to read out an instruction from Kamasutra while trying to get the move right – difficult right? This age-old flaw has now been taken care of, by releasing the world’s most famous sex manual in the form of audio books. Now all you have to do is listen to the audio to get your moves right. Beautiful Books, of London, has commissioned actor Tanya Franks to read aloud from the treatise, including its most notorious chapter, On Sexual Union, which describes 64 different ways of making love. The books can be downloaded for 8.99 dollars. Kamasutra is based on ancient Hindu philosophies and was first translated into English in 1883 under the guidance of Victorian explorer Richard Burton. Now there’s no need to feel embarrassed by reading a copy of this wonderful and important book in public – simply download it on to your mp3 player and liven up your commute to work, The Guardian quoted Simon Petherick, the managing director of Beautiful Books, as saying. When I was asked to read the Kamasutra I felt nervous and excited at the thought of it,” Franks said. “When we finally did it I was completely relaxed and we had a great time. The only thing missing was the cigarette afterwards, she added.

Dear Amar, I have some policies with HDFC and Gics taken a few years back and i am paying additional premium. Recently there was a case filed by a disabled person petitioning that since the disabled are less mobile and take extra care while moving out their chances of meeting with an accident are infact lower and thus no extra premium should be charged.

Dear All, I often see that a single mail is composed, which has to be sent to multiple persons. Best example can be greeting messages. Now what I see is that though there are multiple addresses in the mail to whom the mail will be sent, but when I open the message, I only see my address. Same applies to other persons. So to conclude, though there are many addresses in that single mail, but one can only see his or her address in the 'to field'. The object behind this is to respect everybody's privacy. So any solution or any suggestion on how to protect everyone's privacy by not disclosing others's email addresses, while sending mail to masses is welcomed. In this case, two things are not possible for me. To send everyone individual mail. and Last but not the least, not to send the mail itself to anyone! :) Regards, Amar Jain.

The list of candidates along with their serial number, name, party name and symbol in Braille was hung for VI to read. All the buttons on the EVM were labeled, unlike last elections when only half of the buttons contained the labels. However, they insisted on filling up the form for escort which was done in the past, but we succeeded in convincing them we were casting our vote totally independently and so no need for such a form. Finally, due to presence of journalist accompanying us, and good sense of a few poll employees, they were convinced about non requirement of the form.

[AI] For the benefit of RP patients
Here's why we should be on the RP Registry. Information about the Indian Retinitis Pigmentosa Registry Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a term given to a group of hereditary retinal diseases that are caused by a multiplicity of genetic defects leading to a slowly progressive retinal damage. Night blindness, progressive visual field defects, and visual impairment are common symptoms of the disease. RP and allied diseases usually strike early in life, leaving otherwise healthy individuals significantly vision impaired or blind for life. The current worldwide prevalence of RP is considered to be about 1:4000, while recent studies in India have indicated that prevalence in India is possibly 10 times higher than in the western world. There is presently no cure for this disease, although progress in fields of stem cells, gene therapy, cell transplant and artificial visual prosthetics including a retinal implant appears promising. Some of these clinical trials are currently on-going elsewhere in the world, and are likely to come to India soon. Registry or a database is a collection of patient information, usually kept at a central repository. This information can be either collected from the patients themselves, or is requested from physicians, other healthcare providers or hospitals/clinics/nursing homes, or any other medical facility. The web-based Indian RP Registry will help evaluate epidemiological factors related to RP, thus highlighting and drawing attention to the enormity of the problem in India as well as its social and economic consequences. The data collection and analysis will help policy planners and advocacy groups to set priorities and allocate resources judiciously. The registry will also keep patients informed about various treatments for RP, and allow patients a chance to interact with other patients. With the information available, referring physicians would be able to better manage their RP patients, while maintaining continuity of the patient-physician relationship. This patient database will allow access to authorized people, with highest security measures in place to prevent unwelcome intrusion. Patient confidentiality will be strictly respected. The main objectives of the registry are: Obtain current and future prevalence of RP at the national and regional level in India Conduct epidemiological clinical research studies Dissemination of information about new treatment/s to patients, and act as important resource for conduct of clinical trials Disseminate information for planning early detection programs Respond to national and local concerns about the disease Provide information to citizens, legislators, and health professionals To obtain a better correlation of the clinical course of RP to specific genetic variations Collect clinical data and the impact of RP on Quality of Life (QOL) Better understanding of the relationship between clinical parameters such as visual acuity and visual field loss impact on the person’s daily activities Policy planners require solid estimates of disease prevalence to determine the likely benefit of these and future therapies If you are a RP patient, or have a family member, or know someone who does, please forward this information to that person. Please ask the person/s to answer the questions that are given below in an email, or at least to inform at the email retinain...@gmail.com, so that we can either try to call you to get the information, or try to send you a hard copy of the form for you to fill and send back. Please do not forget to give us the contact phone number and the address of the person.

[AI] virtual library - download 2.5 million e books - free

NEW DELHI: You may be sitting with a laptop in your Noida apartment, surfing the net in a New York library, or just browsing in a Cape Town cybercafe - anyone anywhere can attend this book fair. Of course, you can't run your finger over their spines or quickly scan the synopses on their back covers - these books have neither. But a few mouse clicks is all you need to access them. For a month starting Saturday, over 2.5 million books will be available for free download at a virtual book fair - the fourth eBook Fair sponsored by a number of e-libraries including Project Gutenberg, The World Public Library and Internet Archive. The links to the collections will be worldebookfair.com. According to Roberto Gorrieri of the World Public Library, the first three 'fairs' averaged one million downloads per day and a sizable section of the traffic was from India. ''My guess would be about 1/4 of all downloads were done from there. The most popular titles were technology related titles,'' he told TOI in an email interview. No surprise as technical books, especially the imported ones, cost a bomb. But it is not just the techies or casual readers who download. Even humanities students have become intimately familiar with the world of e-texts. Recently, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed a plan to do away with text books altogether and push for the use of ebooks in schools. For graduate students in India, there are more texts - some of them notoriously difficult to find in stores - and less time to procure them. Sappho's poetry, prescribed in MA English course is one example; Kesari Mohan Ganguly's translation of Karnaparva, is another. Alberti's On Painting was found and circulated online. ''Etexts are much easier to access and are far cleaner than photocopies,'' says Sakshi Chopra who completed her MA in 2008. Later, for BEd, she used etexts of John Dewey's Democracy and Education and Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Nandita Dubey, a final year history student, used etexts for her dissertation on Shahjahanabad. To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Cynics that we pride ourselves to be have to now adopt a new tact.So get out of being arm chair critics and commentators. Elections are around the corner and we all must vote. How you vote is not my concern but vote you must. Yes I am disabled so it is difficult for me to vote- getting someone to go with me to the booth, reading the names of the candidates, actually voting and then answering the questions of others and a bunch of other difficulties instead of enjoying my holiday. However if you dont go see what damage you will do: 1. The Bombay, Jharkhand High courts andthe Supreme court have ordered special facilities for the disabled. So please use them and dont waste them. 2.The Election Commission has constantly taken a stand that there are not many disabled who vote so we have to prove the EC wrong. this helps in making the facilities better for the next elections. 3. You are part of the numbers that make up a class so if we are a big class we get privileges in due course. Ensure that it is recorded that you are disabled when you vote. 4. If you want to be part of Society and you want to be treated as a part then do what everyone should be doing-voting. 5. We are educated and the part of the educated middle class that should rule but with our own apathy we lose our clout. Therefore we get the government we deserve. There may be several other reasons which I cant seem to remember this early in the morning. This year I hope not to hear from anybody on accessindia that they have not voted. Whats the point in being cynical about others including the government isnt it time we face ourselves and tried to push ourselves on this front as well.

Re: [AI] Elections
voting is real simple. visit the booth , take sighted help along, fill a simple form for the disabled, excersise your voting rights, and thats it. so go and vote On 2/20/09, Subramani L lsubram...@deccanherald.co.in wrote: I had been voting in Chennai, until I relocated to Bangalore.

Cynics that we pride ourselves to be have to now adopt a new tact.So get out of being arm chair critics and commentators. Elections are around the corner and we all must vote. How you vote is not my concern but vote you must. Yes I am disabled so it is difficult for me to vote- getting someone to go with me to the booth, reading the names of the candidates, actually voting and then answering the questions of others and a bunch of other difficulties instead of enjoying my holiday. However if you dont go see what damage you will do: 1. The Bombay, Jharkhand High courts andthe Supreme court have ordered special facilities for the disabled. So please use them and dont waste them. 2.The Election Commission has constantly taken a stand that there are not many disabled who vote so we have to prove the EC wrong. this helps in making the facilities better for the next elections. 3. You are part of the numbers that make up a class so if we are a big class we get privileges in due course. Ensure that it is recorded that you are disabled when you vote. 4. If you want to be part of Society and you want to be treated as a part then do what everyone should be doing-voting. 5. We are educated and the part of the educated middle class that should rule but with our own apathy we lose our clout. Therefore we get the government we deserve. There may be several other reasons which I cant seem to remember this early in the morning. This year I hope not to hear from anybody on accessindia that they have not voted. Whats the point in being cynical about others including the government isnt it time we face ourselves and tried to push ourselves on this front as well.

Today we'll learn how to auto-delete their psychotic emails from your Gmail account. Rather than a Block button like many email clients have, Gmail has a powerful Filter feature which you can use for all sorts of purposes, but for today's lesson we'll use a filter to automatically delete messages from a specific (and likely obnoxious) person. Filtering Emails in Gmail If you are reading one of the emails from the extremely annoying person you wish you had never met, you can click the Create a filter link right next to the search boxes up near the top of the page… If you chose Filter messages the From box will automatically be populated with the person's email address, though you can write in their email address, or even their name. I'd go with the email address, and then click the Next Step button. On this screen, you can click the Mark as read checkbox, and then click on the Delete it checkbox. This will send their messages automatically to the trash can. Clicking the Create Filter button will make this filter active, and you'll find it listed under Settings \ Filters in case you want to edit or delete it. You'll notice that the message isn't permanently deleted, as it will sit in the trash can for 30 days until it empties automatically. Somehow that seems appropriate if you are open to any patch ups in future,,, maybe? :) regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!! www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

I am using the program and it has saved me a lot of running around with taxi drivers. I have also been able to verify where they are going and to question them regarding the route they are taking. It just gives you that much more control. You can of course use the program while walking too. You can also add favorites such as your house, your friend's house etc and other places that are not on the map. The maps though are quite comprehensive at least for Delhi and Gurgaon. If you want to reduce your data usage, you can download the maps from http://access.mywayfinder.com. Note: India is a separate region so do not click on asia when on this site. The favorites are stored on the wayFinder server so, even if you change your phone, you can synchronise them to the new phone by choosing the relevant option from the favorites dialog. Also, in terms of licensing, if you change your phone, you just enter your activation code on the new phone and you are done. The licensing model is user based and not phone based.

VoiceOver and Window-Eyes are screen reading software for blind and visually impaired users.

From Apple: Block quote start The new iPod nano (4th generation) — the world's most popular music player — introduces spoken menus that let visually impaired music lovers browse and select songs without viewing the screen. Instead, you'll hear a synthesized voice speaking the names of menus, songs, and artists. To take advantage of spoken menus, you will need: List of 4 items • iPod nano (4th generation) • iTunes 8 • Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later • Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3 or later) list end Block quote end Not only is this great news for blind consumers but this is great news for consumers who have a hard time reading small text.

Though it is not directly concerned with the Visually Challenged but is still worth reading. I dont know when we will have such laws in India. Kanchan U.S. Says Many Apartments Violate Law on Disabled - NYTimes.com The New York Times Printer Friendly Format Sponsored By choke/choke_88x31 August 19, 2008 U.S. Says Many Apartments Violate Law on Disabled By CHARLES V. BAGLI Facing potential lawsuits by the federal government, developers and landlords in New York City may need to spend tens of millions of dollars to renovate more than 100,000 apartments built since 1991 to comply with federal housing laws barring discrimination against tenants who use wheelchairs, real estate industry officials say. For 20 years, residential developers have complied with a city law requiring them to ensure that all the apartments they build are accessible to disabled tenants. Considered path-breaking legislation when it was enacted in 1988, the city law essentially meets the federal requirements of the Fair Housing Act, developers and city officials say. But the United States attorney's office in Manhattan has sent letters to about a dozen of the city's most prominent landlords and their architects saying that some of their buildings were not accessible to persons with disabilities, which would constitute discrimination under the Fair Housing Act. The recipients included Related Companies, the Durst Organization , Rose Associates, Rockrose Development and Silverstein Properties. The letters said that doors were not wide enough, and that kitchens and bathrooms were not big enough to allow someone in a wheelchair to maneuver. Also, the letters said, tenants could not install grab bars to lift themselves in or out of a tub, because the walls had not been reinforced. The federal prosecutor's office, which began sending the letters in January, has asked owners for meetings, building inspections and all the records of the design and layout of the apartments in specific buildings. Until recently, the real estate industry had hoped that the matter would quietly go away. But last week, the United States attorney's office filed a lawsuit against one of the recipients, AvalonBay Communities, and its architects, charging them with discrimination against disabled people by failing to provide sufficient access at Avalon Chrystie Place, a building on the Lower East Side with 361 apartments. Now other landlords and developers - virtually everyone who has built an apartment house in New York City since 1991 - fear they may be next. Along with city officials, they assert that compliance with what is known as Local Law 58 satisfies the standards set by the Fair Housing Act. This is not limited to these 12 or 13 buildings, said Steven Spinola, president of the Real Estate Board of New York , the industry's powerful lobbying arm. If there's a decision that Local Law 58 does not meet the criteria for apartments' being accessible, you could easily argue that every building built since 1991 wasn't built in accordance with the federal guidelines. Mr. Spinola estimates that 100,000 rental apartments have been built since 1991, as well as thousands of condominiums. The cost of renovating bathrooms and kitchens, one developer said, would be astronomical. Another said that his company was already redesigning apartments for future buildings in ways that would eliminate foyer closets to provide more room for entryways. City officials, who had scheduled a meeting with federal prosecutors for the day after the suit was filed against AvalonBay, promptly canceled it, furious that they had not been notified. In light of the U.S. attorney's lawsuit, we postponed our meeting so we could assess the matter, Martha Mann Alfaro, a deputy chief in the city's Law Department, said in a statement. However, we anticipate having productive discussions with the U.S. attorney. Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for the United States attorney, Michael J. Garcia, declined to comment, saying the office did not confirm or deny the existence of current investigations. Edward M. Schulman, general counsel for AvalonBay, said the company's housing was fully accessible to persons with disabilities. Our buildings have been constructed in compliance with New York City's Local Law 58, he said. We are at a loss to understand why the federal government is suddenly viewing New York City's Local Law 58 as deficient and unsatisfactory. This year, the landlords and architects enlisted the Bloomberg administration to help push back the federal prosecutors. And the Real Estate Board hired a former federal prosecutor, Sarah L. Shudofsky, to represent them. Jonathan Durst

[AI] right to informationn goes online
Hello! friends, our right to information has gone online and can be of immense use to us. read on for details : Filing queries under the Right to Information (RTI) Act has become a matter of minutes with the Central Information Commission (CIC) launching an online system for submission of appeals. The new system was started last week. Now all Internet and tech savvy RTI users can file their complaints and appeals online,. The RTI Act was passed by parliament in 2005 for promoting transparency and accountability in the functioning of government departments. Every department has a public information officer (PIO) to whom RTI applications can be submitted. However, if the user does not get the information or receives incomplete information, he can file first an appeal with the appellate authority within the same department. In case the applicant still remains unsatisfied, he can file a second appeal to their respective information commission. Now, the applicants will just have to log on to the website of CIC (www.cic.gov.in) and click on the 'RTI complaints and appeal' link, which will provide them with an application form. Filling of the form is very easy. The user has to just fill mandatory fields like name, address, citizenship status, ministry, department or public authority that the appeal is against and whether the complainant is below the poverty line,. The applicants can even upload documents related to their complaint. i don't know how accessible this site would be, since i have not visited it. all the best. arvind bhartiya Join Access India convention: For updates on it visit: http://accessindia.org.in/harish/convention.htm Registration is now open!
