[AI] getting the listeners' status of my podcast

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Friends,
How are you all?  Hope all are well and in good spirits. It is long
time I posted something to this group.  My doubt is, I use the Anchor
podcast to upload my podcast.  Earlier I could get the listeners'
statistics through the "your podcast" menu through the phone.  But one
month ago, I changed my phone to samsung galuxy M31. Now, I am unable
to  get it and so, I am unable to know the listener's statistics
through the phone.  The statistics is available in the Anchor podcast
website.  Any solution?  Hope I am clear in my doubt.

Thanking you in advance,

Renuka.

[AI] language in accessibility android in galuxya 5.

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Friends,

I am Renuka. It has been a long time since I have posted anything to
the AI.  Today I approached you for a solution which I am facing.
As I have mention I am using galuxy A5 with talkback android
accessibility sweet.  For the last one weak, the language, which I
have set to UK English automatically changes to another language llike
Brazil or Assamis, and every time I have to restart the phone, setting
the language to UK English.  Today onwards, This solution too doesn't
work.  I had reinstalled the android accessibility sweet, but in vain

A speedy reply is appreciated.


Renuka.

Re: [AI] Disclosing or not disclosing the visual impairment

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

It depends on your perspective.  If you have accepted your disability,
you can face these odd situations boldly.  When I became blind at the
age of 27, I also faced such situations, but, when I accepted my
state, I could face all these with a smile.  Rather, I enjoy these
type of questions.

Hi friends.

A good news.  I have been promoted from the Section Officer to the
Assistant Registrar.  I am the first 100% visually challenged
Assistant Registrar in the University of Calicut.  Ihad to get through
 the departmental tests to get promotions and I wrote the tests with
the help of a scribe and this too was a first one  in the Calicut
University's history.  I have been directed to continue in the same
section, since the ddfs system, through the file movements are going
in this university is not at all accessible to a visually challenged
and they could not find any competent as well as interested person for
the work which me and my colleagues are doing now.  (converting books
into DAISY)

Today's Paper
A differently enabled company

Updated: December 16, 2017 05:09 IST

[A differently enabled company]
5 directors of Handicrops Divyanga Impex are wheelchair-bound

For the first time in India, a company has been set up with the sole
objective of supporting differently abled artisans, by differently
abled persons. Handicrops Divyanga Impex, which was formed in Palakkad
recently, has eight directors, of which five are wheelchair-bound.

“It is an organisation run by the differently abled with the help of
the public to encourage self-employment. It will assist people with
disabilities and their families, individually or in groups. It will
help them access skill development programmes, and financial and
material resources,” said Lekha S. Kumar, a member of the company’s
social media supporters group.

K. Ranjini of Kilimanoor in Thiruvananthapuram is one of the company’s
beneficiaries. Now in her late thirties, she has been bed-ridden for
years due to spinal muscular atrophy. A talented water colour artist,
she is now happy that her hobby of making paper pens will get the
backing of a public limited company. The pens she makes lying in bed
will be sold across Kerala.

“I now feel that making paper pens could become a permanent source of
income that could help me support my family. It will no longer remain
just a hobby. These pens also help the environment as they are a
better alternative to the non-biodegradable plastic pens,” Ranjini
says.

100-odd members

Handicrops already has more than a hundred members like Ranjini, most
of whom work from home, making paper pens, LED bulbs, paper bags,
umbrellas, handmade soaps, jewellery, and other handicrafts. The
company plans to make devices such as electric wheelchairs, and
efforts are on to enrol more people into its fold.

According to the office-bearers, anyone who cares for the welfare of
the differently abled can take shares in the company, with the minimum
investment being Rs. 10,000, while the ceiling is Rs. 5 lakh.

For instance, Ashraf Haneefa from Alappuzha had always been
sympathetic to the cause. He has embarked on a mission to teach 100
physically challenged individuals how to make cloth bags.

Appeal issued

On Wednesday, he issued an appeal on social media asking friends to
donate used cotton saris and churidars for use in his training
programme.

Handicrops plans to develop its own brands. Its focus now is on paper
pens and umbrellas, having received orders for 50,000 pens. Half a
dozen units in Kasaragod, Kozhikode, and Thiruvananthapuram, owned by
differently abled individuals, will be brought under the company
banner.

[AI] Para-athlete stopped from boarding flight

Para-athlete stopped from boarding flight

Updated: July 19, 2017 07:29 IST


[Suarna NAtional Award]

National treasure: Para-athlete Suvarna Raj being awarded the 2013
National Women Excellence Award.
Airline officials told Survana Raj it would take too long to scan her wheelchair

Medal-winning Indian para-athlete Suvarna Raj has alleged that she was
not allowed to board her Delhi-Udaipur IndiGo flight on Tuesday after
officials told her that there was “not enough time to scan her
wheelchair” and that it was “not their fault that she was wheelchair
bound”.

“I reached the domestic terminal of Indira Gandhi International
Airport at 12.45 p.m. The boarding time was 1.25 p.m. It takes just
five minutes to scan the wheelchair, but here I faced a long delay,”
Ms. Raj told The Hindu.
‘Only in India’

“While other passengers boarded the plane, I was denied entry. I
explained to them about how important it was for me to go. However,
the officials said that it was not their fault that I’m wheelchair
bound. They told me my wheelchair had to be scanned and their was no
time for that,” she said.

Ms. Raj had won two medals at the Thailand Para Table Tennis Open
2013. She was also awarded the National Women Excellence Award the
same year.

The athlete said that she never faced such issues at international
airports: “Most of the time I have to face such discrimination in my
own country”.

Ms. Raj said that she was going to Udaipur to attend a meeting on
smart cities. “I have to board an alternate flight at 7.40 a.m. on
Wednesday. The meeting is at 9.30 a.m. Sadly, I will reach there only
by 10 a.m.”
She arrived late: IndiGo

“The government should ensure that scanning machines are physically
handicapped-friendly,” she added.

Head of corporate communications at IndiGo, Ajay Jasra said: “Ms. Raj
missed her flight 6E 751, DEL-UDR, on Tuesday as she reported late to
the airport at 12.54 p.m. The counter closed at 12.44 p.m. Since she
is a para-athlete, IndiGo booked her on another flight at no
additional cost.”

“She seemed very happy and even clicked a selfie with us when we
provided her the alternate flight,” he added.
Not the first time

This is not the first time that Ms. Raj has faced such difficulties. A
month ago, the para-athlete faced harassment on the Nagpur-Nizamuddin
Garib Rath Express where she was allotted an upper berth despite
having mentioned her disability when booking her tickets.

As she could not access the berth and her request for a lower berth
was ignored by the TTE and fellow passengers, she was forced to sleep
on the floor of the train.

 You can set the delivery settings yourself wether to be daily or in a

What are those films?  I cannot recollect any such film.  In Malayalam

realistically though.

Hi all,
My problem is solved.  Thanks everyone who helped to solve it.
Actually, I didn't press nvda+f2 before pressing alt +ctrl+up arrow.
That is why the command did not work.  Thanks again.

Re: [AI] strange problem in gmail

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Hi Sangeetha,
Thank you for resolving my problem.  I did as you said and the problem
was solved.  Thank you again.  I have another quiery.  i.e., the
display in my lap top often gets upside down and it is very much
annoying for the sighted people when they see it, it makes no
difference to me though.  What is the command for getting this problem
right.  I had been told that windows+alt+right arrow will solve this
problem, but it didn't work. What mistake I have done?  Please help.

Renuka.

[AI] strange problem in gmail

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Hi friends,
I am facing a strange problem in navigating through the emails from
yesterday in my lap top.  i.e., when I open my gmail, instead of the
user name field, it directly goes to the inbox without typing the user
name and password.  But, the real problem is that, the navigation is
not possible with the short cut commands. (x and u) I signed out and
tried to reopen the gmail, but the user name field is not being
displayed.  Only the password field could be seen and I am unable to
type the user name.  I closed the gmail and reopened, but, the earlier
problem of going directly to the inbox persists.  Any solution?  This
problem does not exist in any of other computers.

[AI] daisy and windows 10

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Hi friends,
I am using windows 7 in my desk top for producing daisy books and it
is working fine.  Now, I want to upgrade it into windows10.  But, in
my lap top, I am using windows 10 and it is very slow as far as
editing through obi.  Has anyone experienced such a thing? If so, is
there any solution for it?

Looking forward for your speedy reply.

Re: [AI] Any accessibility features in new Rs. 500 and Rs. 2000 currency notes?

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

I also felt some dots on the bottom of the note, but it was nothing,
but simply dots.  Moreover, according to the t v reports, the picture
of the head  of Mahatma Gandhi was tactile, but it also was not to be
found.

[AI] Garden with a vision

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

MALAPPURAM, August 12, 2016
Garden with a vision

The Speaker opens it blindfolded

Assembly Speaker P. Sreeramakrishnan threw open a touch-and-feel
garden of aromatic herbs for the visually impaired at the University
of Calicut on Thursday.

Inaugurating the garden, blindfolded, Mr. Sreeramakrishnan exhorted
universities to bolster the creativity and quest for knowledge of
students.

The garden, with six dozen aromatic plants, is the first of its kind
in the country. It gives information on the plants by means of Braille
and audio. Mr. Sreeramakrishnan also released the reports of
Environmental Audit and Gender Audit by handing over their copies to
Vice Chancellor K. Mohammed Basheer and P. Abdul Hameed, MLA,
respectively.

Mr. Hameed inaugurated a Carpology section set up inside the garden.
It has more than three dozen seeds and dry fruits. Dr. Basheer
inaugurated a Cacti and Succulent House set up nearby. M. Sabu,
taxonomist in charge of the garden, explained its uniqueness.

[AI] HC questions denial of job to visually-impaire

HC questions denial of job to visually-impaired

Special Correspondent

The Kerala High Court on Monday quashed the stipulation of the
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) that a
visually-challenged person was ineligible to apply for regular LPG
dealership.

Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque issued the verdict, disposing of a writ
petition filed by P. Baby of Kanjirampara, Thiruvananthapuram,
challenging the HPCL rejecting his application for dealership.

The application was turned down on the ground that Baby was totally blind.

Violation of Art. 14

The court observed that the stipulation violated Article14 of the
Constitution (equality before law).

A visually-impaired person can carry out any function like an
able-bodied person without causing impediments, it pointed out,
adding: “Though a blind person cannot see, he / she could sense the
activities around with the insight vision.”

Though a blind person cannot see, he / she could sense the activities
around with the insight vision.

[AI] Enabling the visually challenged to live their football dreams

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

KOCHI, May 11, 2016
Updated: May 11, 2016 01:43 IST
Enabling the visually challenged to live their football dreams

M. P. Praveen
The academy is being planned as an incubator, where inmates will be
given football and vocational training.
The academy is being planned as an incubator, where inmates will be
given football and vocational training.
India’s first football academy for the visually challenged to come up
in Kochi by year-end

Their vision may be impaired, but their dreams need not be.

As visually challenged footballers imagine their own Lionel Messi and
Christiano Ronaldo acts, support is in the offing to light up those
dreams. A football academy for the visually challenged, claimed to be
India’s first, is likely to turn operational in Kochi by the end of
this year. The primary goal is to build a national squad capable of
qualifying for the 2024 Paralympics. The academy will be run by the
Kerala Blind Football Federation.

Last September, the Indian blind football team had a crack at
qualifying from Asia for the Rio 2016 Paralympics. The eventual
qualifiers Iran and China trounced India and the country ended up with
a devastating five straight defeats.

“We are already in talks with a few pan-India corporate houses for
support. The academy is being planned as an incubator, where the
inmates would be given both football and vocational training – the
latter to enable them to pursue an independent life,” said Sunil J.
Mathew, sporting director of the Kerala Blind Football Federation, an
initiative of the Kochi-based Society for Rehabilitation of Visually
Challenged (SRVC).

The academy would need an initial investment of around Rs. 50 lakh for
the first year. Its operations would be scaled up in due course,
depending on corporate support and the demands of potential
beneficiaries.

Initially, a batch of 20 talented young players, including those who
have already played for India, would be admitted to the academy.

[AI] Equipping the disabled to meet emergency situations

Equipping the disabled to meet emergency situations

Programme will focus on training people with different types of disabilities

The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority is taking up a novel
initiative to equip persons with disabilities to cope with natural
disasters and other crises.

SDMA has approved a project to strengthen emergency response
capabilities with emphasis on the differently abled and include them
in the disaster preparedness and response mechanism. The programme
will focus on training people with different types of disabilities
like physical, intellectual, visual, speech and hearing in emergency
response.

All over the world, during times of natural disasters and other
crises, persons with disabilities have often remained ‘invisible’ to
relief operations and excluded from assessments, relief, and
evacuation measures, says the concept note. The response to their
basic needs is often not adapted and their specific needs ignored.
They are also at a higher risk of abuse and violence and disasters
take a toll on their physical and psychological health.

Those with physical impairments can be at risk during evacuation if
assistance is not available and individuals with cognitive impairments
may struggle with understanding instructions that must be followed in
the event of a disaster while the visually or hearing disabled may
have difficulty communicating during the emergency, it notes.

State-level consultation

A State-level consultation is being organised here on Wednesday to
work out the training strategy and identify resource persons. NGOs,
experts and representatives of various government departments and
agencies will discuss the preparation of a training module for people
with different kinds of disabilities.

In the second phase, district disaster management authorities will
organise trainings and refresher programmes at the district level. The
concept note also proposes mock drills, communication materials, and
action-oriented behavioural changes to equip the disabled.

According to a census carried out by the Social Justice Department in
2015, there are 7,93,937 disabled persons in Kerala, constituting 2.3
per cent of the total population. The report shows that 9.87 lakh
households in the State have disabled people.

 Dear List,


 Wish to share a great experience I had attending first ever
 "Entrepreneurial Idea Award" for persons with visual impairment by
 Voice
 Vision, Mumbai on 3rd April 2016.


 This event not only awarded 3 best ideas but what I like most is a full
 batch of 60 students of MBA course of Somaiya Institute of Management
 Studies and Research (a knowledge partner of this project) got well
 sensitized about persons with blindness through this unique project.
 There
 were 10 V I participants who presented their ideas with team of 6-8
 management students with each V I to present business idea with ROI and
 break even. At final stage three ideas got selected by eminent juries
 from
 financial sector, handicapped finance corporation and corporate
 leaders.
 Management course professors were equally involved in this project.


 Kudos to Sushmeetha Bubna for developing this concept and empowering 3
 V
 I
 persons to start their own enterprise with the help of corporate
 sponsor
 offering subvention loan and a cash prize.


 Regards,

 Prashant Naik

Friends,
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the courses should be for the +1,+2

learn maths for these courses.

[AI] Here’s a sports complex with a vision

Here’s a sports complex with a vision

Chief Minister to inaugurate the first-of-its-kind facility for the
blind at Keezhmadu near Aluva on January 16

Mention the words ‘practice session’ and it conjures up image of
players in coloured clothes, photo-op for fans or the air of pre-match
excitement. And if you were at the cricket stadium near Aluva, which
currently hosts the practice sessions of a national team, your
applause would resound a lot louder when the players stepped on to the
ground.

For, this is a different class of the Indian cricket team, preparing
for the upcoming Asia Cup in Kochi at the sprawling ground at the
School for the Blind campus at Keezhmadu, near Aluva.

With neatly trimmed lush green grass and a deep brown pitch at the
centre, the stadium forms part of a sports complex — a
first-of-its-kind facility for the blind, in Kerala.

Chief Minister Ooommen Chandy is scheduled to inaugurate the facility
at a brief function to be held here on January 16.

The complex also marks the diversification of the school — a
pioneering institution in the rehabilitation of the visually impaired
— into sports promotion and management. As part of its foray into
sports, the school organised a south India-level chess tournament in
November last year, in which about 100 players from various States
took part.

According to the school management, the facility currently comprises a
50,000-sq. ft cricket stadium and a sports hostel with a capacity to
accommodate 80 persons.

“The objective is to draw talented blind sportsmen from all across the
country and give them training in their respective fields. We will
hold sport events and training sessions for them round the year,” said
T.S. John, secretary of the Kerala Blind School Society, which runs
the institution.

On completion, the complex will embrace separate facilities for
various other sports events such as volleyball, basketball and other
indoor games. Set up with assistance from various agencies, the
stadium cost around Rs.35 lakh while the state-of-the art sports
hostel was established by renovating an old building at the location.

Set up with eight students and one teacher in 1962, the school
currently accommodates 80 students and 25 teaching and non-teaching
staff. About 30 per cent of its students comprise those suffering from
multiple disabilities of vision.

[AI] Instilling independence in them

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Instilling independence in them

Staff Reporter


Tiffany Brar
Tiffany Brar

It’s the first floor of a nondescript building at Ambalamukku here. A
woman in the small reception speaks about her visually challenged son
who is pursuing his postgraduation through distance mode. A couple of
minutes into the account, tears well up in her eyes. But reassurance
is close at hand. Tiffany Brar, 29, who is visually challenged, runs
the Jyothirgamaya Foundation, a non-profit organisation that motivates
and trains the visually challenged in various aspects, thus bringing
them into the mainstream.

Ms. Brar, through her foundation provides the visually challenged
training in computers, including use of the Internet and social media,
English communication, and importantly mobility training. This
involves learning how to use a stick or a white cane, how to find
one’s way on the road, cross roads, travel in public transport, the
indoor environment, and so on. Confidence building sessions too equip
them to venture out alone and get things done, Ms. Brar says.

The course, which is free, may go up to two months, but there is no
fixed duration, she says. Only seven or eight trainees are accepted in
a batch to provide individual attention. In 2012, Ms. Brar had led an
initiative of Braille without Borders where she volunteered to take
learning to blind children by setting up a mobile blind school. But
she soon realised that she could cover only a certain area in a day
and train not more than two children if she was to spend at least a
couple of hours with them, especially if it involved travelling to
places such as Parassala and Neyyattinkara.

The lack of continuity led her to decide to visit the houses of only
those who had no avenues to come to a centre started by her. For
others, there is the residential course. A new batch will kick off in
the first week of January.

Accommodation and food are provided, she says. The centre was started
nine months ago, and Ms. Brar hopes to receive more enquiries with
time. Ms. Brar is currently working on bringing out the foundation’s
newsletter. Website: www.jyothirgamayaindia.org. Ph: 0471 6546548,

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has for the first time
published guidebooks and brochures on the monuments of north-east
India in Braille.

The four publications, which are in Braille, include a guidebook on
the monuments of Sivasagar in Assam and brochures on monuments of
Sonitpur district and four maidams (tombs) of the Ahom Kings at
Charaideo in the same State.

Eight monuments of Tripura, including the Bhubhaneshwari Temple, and
the rock carvings of Unakoti are featured in the fourth brochure.

“This is our first attempt to bring out Braille publications in north
east India. The book on monuments of Sivasagar is also is also the
first-ever guidebook to be published by ASI in Braille,” Milan Kumar
Chauley, superintending archaeologist of Guwahati Circle, told The
Hindu on Wednesday.

Of the 80 archaeological monuments in north-east India, the
publication covers 30 prominent archaeological sites. Of them, 18 are
at Sivasagar, eight in Tripura and four in Sonitpur.

The guidebook and the booklets were released as the part of World
Heritage Week celebrations of the ASI’s Guwahati Circle by Governor of
Assam P. B. Acharya at Raj Bhavan.

The publications are part of efforts to make the archaeological sites
accessible and barrier-free for physically and visually challenged
persons. Ramps and pathways for the physically and visually challenged
are also being worked on, ASI officials said.
Distributed free

Mr. Chauley said that the booklets were printed at the government
press in Guwahati and those interested can collect them free of cost
at the monuments or the headquarters of ASI’s Guwahati Circle.

The monuments in the booklets are of the medieval and late medieval
periods. The four maidams (tombs) of the Ahom Kings at Charaideo was
enlisted in the tentative list of World Heritage Sites in April 2014.

[AI] problem in obi

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Hello learned friends,
When I was converting a book into DAISY, the error message, "error in
converting: the audio string is not in correct format" appeared.
Earlier, when this problem occured, I merged the file into a new
project, and it could be successfully converted into DAISY.  But,
today, when I tried to do it again with another file, the error
message "the audio format does not match and cannot merge" appears.
My question is
1. How do we find out the correct format in an obi project.
2. In the above mentioned problem, how do I correct the format.  I am
using obi 3.5.  This problem occured only once earlier.  This is the
second time.  Please don't ask to do the project again.

Thanks only after getting the correct answer. (smiles)
Renuka.

NBut sir, the file can be imported.  The problem is, after doing all
the editting and putting the meta data, it is unable to convert the
file into DAISY.  The error message is shown there.

[AI] Fwd: KFB[Y] Providing 'Sight' to the Visually Impaired

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Subject: KFB[Y] Providing 'Sight' to the Visually Impaired
To: kfbyouth

KOZHIKODE:

Utilising their technological and scientific skills, the students of
National Institute of Technology, Calicut (NITC), are paving a path of
self-reliance for the less affluent  who cannot explore the world on
their own.
The students have developed the working model of a smart ‘Blind man’s
stick’ to guide the visually impaired on the obstacles along their
path.
The smart stick model developed using sonar technology will be
manufactured and supplied to the visually impaired students of a blind
school by the NITC students as part of their social initiative
‘Aavishkar’, an integral part of their annual technical fest ‘Tathva’
to be held this month. The students are also preparing audio books
associating with the ‘DAISY book project’ of the Kerala State Youth
Welfare Board and Kerala Federation of Blind Youth Forum to enrich the
visually challenged community with the audio content of literature and
other books.
“Inspired by a model of smart walking stick developed by the students
of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, we developed the ‘Blind
man’s stick’ at a very low cost. While the model developed at Delhi
IIT incurred a cost of Rs 3,000, we were able to make ours at just Rs
1,000. We have  developed a model using steel and PVC pipes to explore
the technology. After acquiring a licence for the model, we will be
bringing modifications to its looks and will be manufacturing a
minimum of 80 such smart sticks in the next semester to supply it to
the visually challenged students of a special school.
The school is yet to be identified,” said Aavishkar team head Nihal
Latheef, a third year student. The walking stick they developed works
on sonar technology. It sends ultrasound waves and senses the presence
of objects by reflecting the sound waves back. The stick vibrates
whenever any obstacle such as walls, trees, etc. is found on the path.
It will work both in indoor and outdoor modes, giving warning about
the close obstacles in the indoor mode and even about distant objects
in outdoor mode.

“The year 2015 being the ‘International Year of Light’, this year’s
Tathva is also focusing on the theme and we thought of lighting up the
lives of those who are deprived of light through Aavishkar,” said
Nihal.
“Exploring the skills and technologies we acquired from the college
for the benefit of the society is what we aim through Aavishkar.  We
have also installed a solar water heater at ‘Daivadhan’ old age home
in Koothuparamba, Kannur. While the heater was bought using the fund
raised from students, we ourselves assembled it and did the plumbing
works there. We are also setting up a biogas plant at the old age
home,” said Naval Bin Yousuf, a team member of Aavishkar.
The students have already prepared 30 audio books for the DAISY
project and will be delivering a total of around 60 such books.

Re: [AI] Peculiar request for scribe

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

In my opinion, first of all, convince the authorities about her
problem and with the help of the school authorities find a suitable
scribe as early as possible Then she will be able to perform her exams
with the best of her ability.

[AI] Telangana first State to make IT parks differently abledfriendly

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Telangana first State to make IT parks differently abledfriendly

Telangana will soon be the first State in the country to make its IT
and ITES buildings differently abledfriendly. In a firstofitskind
initiative undertaken by the NASSCOM Foundation, 175 companies based
out of two IT parks in Hyderabad will go for retrofitting their
buildings to suit the needs of differently abled employees. This would
mean that companies will have common areas including cafeterias,
restrooms, cubicles and elevators with facilities to aid their current
and prospective employees who are differentlyabled. From entry and
exit gates that have ramps to placing biometric devices at accessible
heights and washrooms that have handles for wheelchairbound people,
retrofitting is expected to ensure inclusive work environments. Also,
efforts are on to make websites of these companies accessible to such
persons by including voice features among others. Accessibility audit
In this direction, the NASSCOM Foundation is already conducting
accessibility audits in the parks at Madhapur and Nanakramguda where
companies including Wipro, Accenture, Oracle, Microsoft, LT Infotech,
HCL, TCS, Deloitte, CA Technologies and Cyient are based. While the
Foundation has entered into talks with other States, Telangana is the
first to implement the audit and accessibility surveys, officials
confirmed. First process While around 25 companies have already been
audited, 100 more are to undertake internal audits in the coming year.
Officials at the NASSCOM Foundation said the first of the multistage
process was expected to be completed in one year. The process is
expected to increase the percentage of differently abled employees in
these companies within a span of five years. In place of eight to nine
companies that had pledged to hire such personnel three years ago, now
there are 40 to 45 of them who are actively planning to hire persons
with disability. Among these are prominent banks and IT companies,
said Rumi Mallick Mitra, vicepresident of the NASSCOM Foundation.
Currently, on an average, differentlyabled persons constitute just one
per cent of the workforce in most companies in the sector.

Re: [AI] First cousin marriages in Pakistani communities leading to 'appalling' disabilities

 5:33PM BST 07 Jul 2015

 CoCouples who are getting married should be forced to have a DNA test
 first to ensure they are not cousins amid growing concern about incest
 within Pakistani communities, Britain's first Asian peer has claimed.


 Baroness Flather, a former Tory who now sits as a cross-bencher, said
 in the House of Lords that it is absolutely appalling that first
 cousin marriages in Pakistani communities are leading to so much
 disability among children.


 She said: There are a lot of first-cousin marriages in certain
 communities, particularly among Pakistanis who come from the Pakistani
 Kashmir area. We know so much about DNA now, but there is so much
 disability among the children, which is absolutely appalling.


 You go to any such family and there will be four or five children, at
 least one or two of whom will have some disability. That is absolutely
 unacceptable, and if we cannot do anything about it, is it fair to the
 children?


 Baroness Flather, a former barrister who was born in the Pakistani
 city of Lahore when it was part of India, said: Never mind the
 parents — it is not fair to the children that they should be allowed
 to become disabled because of a social practice. It is a social
 practice which does not belong in today’s age, when we know so much
 about DNA. There should at least be some rule which says that you must
 have a DNA examination before your marriage can be registered.


 First-cousin marriages, which are are legal in the UK, are practised
 within Britain’s Pakistani community, as well as among some Arab and
 African families. Medical data previously suggested that while British
 Pakistanis were responsible for 3 per cent of all births, they
 accounted for 30 per cent of British children born with a genetic
 illness.

 The noble Baroness Flather also raised concerns about Sharia law,
 under which women struggle to get a divorce.

 She said: I know I am probably talking about Muslims, but we now have
 this business of sharia marriages. It is appalling that the man can
 get a divorce by just asking for it, while a woman may have to wait
 years, and may still not get it. She can get a British divorce, but
 not a sharia divorce.

 Noble Lords may ask, “Why does that matter?”, and I asked that of
 those women. They replied, “It means that we can’t go to Pakistan”.

 If they go there, the husband can come and take the children away, no
 matter what age they are. In any case, the husband can take the
 children from a sharia marriage when they are seven. All marriages
 should be automatically registered in this country. It is not fair to
 the women that some British women — they are British women when they
 come here — are treated in a different and unacceptable way from
 others.


 On 6/13/15, Ekinath Khedekar ekin...@gmail.com wrote:
 Thank you for a very important article Avinash.

 You may have noticed upon any celebratory email from disable marriage
 gathering by any organisation, I ask a question if they are going to
 or have sensitised participants about genetic risks of such marriages.

 Till date, I have never received reply in affirmative. It is very sad.

 I hope you will keep your eye on such blind marriages literally. To
 re-iterate, nothing wrong if couple suffering with genetic disorders
 knowingly take a risk to go for children. That is their personal
 choice, but organisations have a moral and a professional
 responsibility to make their participants know about this factor.

 Cheers






 On 6/12/15, avinash shahi shahi88avin...@gmail.com wrote:
 This article is very productive and enlightening. The casuistry
 provided by the author for avoiding such marriages is quite
 convincing. We have several families where more than one-persons
 acquire disability due to genetic antecedent. And the most of such
 cases are presumably found in muslim families and in the south Indian
 states. It would be great if somebody attempts to write  a paper
 highlighting the social profile of families consisting of more than
 one disabled people.

Friends,
One of my friends has polio in both legs and she is a wheel chair
user.  But the certificate given by the  doctor shows only
50%disability.  According to him, 100% disability means one is bed
ridden.  Is it true?  Is she eligible for 100% disibility certificate?
 Could anyone give a clarification?

[AI] A fresh chapter in learning with ‘Vaikhari’

A fresh chapter in learning with ‘Vaikhari’

Staff Reporter

The book to shortly hit social media forums
A snapshot of the audio book ‘Vaikhari.’
A snapshot of the audio book ‘Vaikhari.’

In a creative attempt to draw the attention of youngsters to the world
of Malayalam literature, the students of the Madappally Government
Vocational Higher Secondary School have come out with a new audio
book, Vaikhari , which will shortly hit all the social media platforms
for gifting a new learning experience.

Teachers and students, who worked behind the idea, say the audio
magazine will feature all the important classical works in Malayalam,
especially poems.

Weekly updates

Lessons targeting students in Class X across the State, too, will be
included in ‘Vaikhari,’ which will be updated every week. Coordinators
of the project say the lessons in the audio book will be highly
helpful for the visually challenged students in Kerala.

All these lessons are recorded in the voice of the students. The
lessons which are now in audio format will be first uploaded on the
Youtube to make it available for all learners in Kerala.

Plans are also there to post it in Facebook, Twitter, and all other
new media platforms to change the initiative to the level of an
infotainment. To avoid Copy Right Act violations, works those do not
come under the act will be initially considered for uploading. The
first book comprises five well-known stories in Malayalam.

According to programme coordinators, the audio book is the effort of a
15-member team including students and teachers under the headship of
the National Service Scheme unit.

It will be released by writer Shihabudheen Poithumkadavu on Monday.

Re: [AI] Writer guidelines

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

My suggestion is to allow to bring our own scribe without insisting on
qualification, and strengthening the invigilation to avoid mal
practice.  This is for not only UPSC exams, but all other exams, where
a scribe is needed.  Allowing to write the exams in braille or in the
computer will be a pro blind suggestion.

Renuka.

 On 6/17/15, Kotian, H P hpkot...@rbi.org.in wrote:
 Dear Kanchan
 I am now reffering to point 4: if we have to specifically talk about UPSC,
 we can take a call on education qualification. However, the fallout shall
 be
 on the general guidelines on scribe. In the past, we had mulled upon
 various
 cinereous and we came to a conclusion, specifying educational
 qualification
 would pose detrimental to the interest of the blind candidate. To
 illustrate, consider that accountancy and book keeping is introduced in
 class13, now if we go by the rule the scribe should be junior by at least
 1
 year, they would not be aware how to post the entries even though the
 candidate isdictating properly, again, the blind candidate has no idea at
 all how the scribe has gone about. Here, the scribe is not at fault, for
 he
 has no idea at all how the posting should be made and the blind person has
 to wrongly suffer as a result. This cannot be acceptable by any means.

 Technology has been an enabler for blind persons to take up newer avenues
 which was not possible earlier, therefore, the general scribe guidelines
 should factor in all such scenarios.

 If we relent to one body, then, other body shall pick it up and we shall
 be
 on a perpetual loop. Again, any concern that the scribe would superceed
 the
 answer by the candidate can be encountered by using videography etc. At
 any
 rate, the number of disabled candidate is not as large to stop UPSC to
 consider it. Video recording is commonly available on all present
 generation
 mobile phones. It is not a serious issue at all if one is willing to look
 into it.

 Again, Braille printer is just like any other printer and UPSC can
 consider
 to purchase one and not outsource it. These are not real issues at all but
 mere excuse to shirk decision. Paper leakages are not caused by this
 avenue
 and the commission need to focus on areas where leakages take place and
 not
 cry foul against disabled persons. UPSC cannot consider itself a supra
 body
 and it is well with the constitution and laws of the land.

 1. Yes suprevision and invijulation   are our defences .
 2. On alternate formats there cannot be a compromise.
 It may take a while for the Examining Authorities to conduct exams on
 computers but in due course they must provide this option along with the
 braille option. Of course never forgetting the original scribe route.
 3. Choosing our own writer should not be compromised.

 The above 3 I think we all agree upon.
 4. I would like you all to consider the issue of writer
 qualifications.Please look at the representations atthe the end of my last

 Most of you will agree that there is some amount of prompting by scribes
 etc.
 Lets come out with a workable solution so that no honest hardworking VI
 suffers at any exam.
 5. I am toying with the thought of saying that the vi dont need seperate

[AI] problem in reading The Hindu

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Hi friends,
For some days, I am facing difficulty in reading The Hindu news paper.
i.e.,  Though ther site is opening, a message, aboet:blank appears
and I am unable to navigate through the links.  Sometimes, after
moving the pages backwords or forward, this is solved, but, not
always.  I am using ubuntu 14.04 version and this problem is only for
The Hindu neews paper.  Any suggestion to solve this problem?

Thanks only after solving the problem. (smiles)

Renuka.

Re: [AI] Challenges in Learning How to Play the Guitar

Hello,
The only way out is strict practice.  When I was learning valin, I
used to practise for three hours a day.  As for the notations, they
were recorded and I got it by hearted first, after that I tried to
play them.

 1.Rahul  Count your frets and strings. Get the position of each chord in
 your mind eg. C major will have C,E,G,c. Try only 3 note chords first-eg.
 C,E,G then bring the fourth note into place.
 2. Bhavya - you must not move your fingers off the neck of the guitar. your

 thumb must be correctly placed. Then when you shift chords you have to move

 one finger at a time. Never lift your full hand off the strings. Keep your
 fingers pressed near the fret but not on it.
 3.  Its delicate work. Go to a good teacher especially of the old school
 and
 learn the correct technique.

 Hi,
 Regarding getting your position on the right fret, it will come with
 practice.
 Adding a question to the thread, do you all face issues in shifting
 between chords? Any specific tips or advice for quicker and smoother
 shifting of chords? I play lead fine, but despite quite some practice,
 am not at a satisfactory level with playing chords. I'll keep trying
 and practising for now...
 Any tips would be appreciated.

 songs
 at all. Try to sing yourself by playing guitar. Secondly, in order to

 the notation or cord, , Braille provides the extra code, by using this
 Braille code, you may able to write the notation.

 Subject: [AI] Challenges in Learning How to Play the Guitar

 Hi All,

 I know this has been discussed before to some extent, but I couldn't
 find
 anything that specifically addresses my concerns. I have recently
 started
 taking guitar lessons and am facing 2 main challenges:
 1. I am struggling to acquire a precise idea about the position of my
 fingers with reference to the fret board. More specifically, I often
 inadvertently skip strings or frets and have to make a concerted effort
 to
 get the finger positioning right. As a result, I take a lot of time to
 get
 from one note to the other which one cannot afford to do while playing a
 song. Second, what is the best way to record all the notations of
 chords,
 songs and scales? Any tips would be invaluable.


 Best,
 Rahul

Re: [AI] benefits for blind in LIC policy

I don't think there is any extra benefit for the visually challenged
other than the ordinary people by taking the LIC policy.  Correct me
if I am wrong.

 Wow! I have similar experience, but I don't see random light, I often see
 imaginary scenes that are based on what I expect. I too have no light
 perception.

 I am able to imagine total darkness when my brain thinks that it is dark.

 That could be partly because I lost my eyesight gradually.

 I am not sure if this is off topic.

 For your information. Appended is today's BBC News article.

 Seeing with Sound - The vOICe

 Do blind people really experience complete darkness?

 By Damon Rose BBC News, Ouch.

 BBC journalist Damon Rose completely lost his sight as a child, but he says
 his world isn't pitch black. So what exactly does he see?

 It's often assumed that blind people experience complete darkness, but in my
 experience this is far from the truth.

 I appreciate this is going to sound odd coming from a blind person but when
 people ask me what I miss most about not being able to see, my answer is
 always darkness.

 Let me explain. I am one of a very small number of people who have no sight
 whatsoever. I'm properly blind. A total as we used to say at school.

 I lost my sight 31 years ago thanks to ill-advised surgery, and on my blind
 person's registration certificate it has three, now very faded letters -
 NLP, no light perception.

 The logical assumption is that when sight is snuffed out, a person must be
 left in darkness. If you dive under the bed covers you can't see anything at
 all. If you close your eyes then everything turns to black. So, blind equals
 black? It make sense, right? Apparently not.

 Though I've had the cord cut between my eyes and my brain, it seems that the
 world has not turned black. All metaphors, similes, analogies, and literary
 flourishes about blindness and darkness should henceforth cease to be used
 because I'm saying it's far from dark. It is, in fact, quite the opposite.

 So what replaces 3D technicolour vision once it's gone? The answer - at
 least in my case - is light. Lots of it. Bright, colourful, ever-changing,
 often terribly distracting, light.

 How do I even begin to describe it? Let me have a go. Right now I've got a
 dark brown background, with a turquoise luminescence front and centre.
 Actually it's just changed to green... now it's bright blue with flecks of
 yellow, and there's some orange threatening to break through and cover the
 whole lot.

 The rest of my field of vision is taken up by squashed geometric shapes,
 squiggles and clouds I couldn't hope to describe - and not before they all
 change again anyway. Give it an hour, and

 suggest you to install an add-on called add block plus which inhibits all

 you will definitely accumulate a pleasant browsing and accessibility

[AI] Stem cells in eye can restore vision, say scientists

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

HYDERABAD, December 12, 2014
Stem cells in eye can restore vision, say scientists
T. Lalith Singh
print   ·   T  T
inShare

In what promises to be an alternative to corneal transplantation in
treating blindness caused from damage to cornea, scientists from
city-based L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) in collaboration with
U.S. scientists claimed to have discovered potent stem cells in the
eye that possess the ability to restore lost sight.

The findings have been published in the journal, Science Translational
Medicine on Thursday. Speaking to journalists, Sayan Basu, LVPEI
consultant corneal surgeon and scientist, said he along with other
scientists at the laboratory of Prof.James L.Funderburgh, Professor of
Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, tested
stem cells obtained from human eyes on an experimental model of
corneal scarring.

We found that when these stem cells were applied to damaged cornea
they healed and became clear again within four weeks of treatment,
Dr. Basu said.

These stem cells also appeared to have induced healing beyond
immediate vicinity and suggested they produce factors that promote
regeneration and not just replacing the lost tissue, he said.

Using stem cells could change the existing paradigm of treatment
corneal blindness through transplantation, which not only needed
sutures but also entailed a donor and the list of waiting recipients
running long.

Dr.Basu hopes the new finding would change this as the stem cells
could easily be obtained from the patients with corneal scarring and
then used therapeutically in the same person's eyes.

This is achieved by simply layering the cells over the damaged areas
with biological adhesive called fibrin glue, he explained.

[AI] what happened to the Hindu news paper?

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Friends,
When I opened the Hindu news paper today, the news cannot easily read,
due to the interuption of unwanted advertisements.  Have any of you
experienced this?  If so, could you suggest any solution?

Renuka.

[AI] Standing tall in the face of adversity

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

Today's Paper  NATIONAL  KERALA
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, November 5, 2014
Standing tall in the face of adversity

Kaavya Pradeep Kumar


Visually challenged student bags Young Achiever Award
In award glory:J. Shahjahan, captain of the Kerala University Blind
Cricket team.
In award glory:J. Shahjahan, captain of the Kerala University Blind
Cricket team.

As far as fielding positions in cricket are concerned, J. Shahjahan
prefers standing at 'short.' You know, where Gautam Gambhir normally
stands, he said, a comparison he often draws to help those not so
well-versed with cricket parlance. This is a place uncomfortably close
to the batsman, one that even the fittest of players would not be too
thrilled to serve. But this 26-year-old captain of the Kerala
University Blind Cricket team is.

Mr. Shahjahan, whose indomitable spirit for the game has also found
him a place in the State-level team for the visually challenged, is
one of the five recipients in the country of this year's Young
Achiever Award instituted by the Amway Opportunity Foundation. The
award was introduced in 2013 by the Corporate Social Responsibility
wing of Amway India with the objective of identifying and supporting
efforts of youth who are differently abled and belong to financially
underprivileged backgrounds. He will receive the award at a function
to be held in Chandigarh on November 8.

The National Association for the Blind in Kerala nominated his name
for the award.

Born partially sighted, his condition worsened with age. But it has
not been a deterrent to Mr. Shahjahan's efforts to succeed. It is not
just the joy of playing that gets this 'all-rounder' out on the
cricket pitch at the university hostel here, but the fact that it has
proven really uplifting for everyone in his team, nearly all of whom
have had to deal with condescending, discriminatory treatment all
their lives.

Even if they get to seriously practice only once a month, it is
something they excel in. If we could, we would get out on to the
pitch everyday but any tournament we participate in or any practice we
arrange has to be carried out using our own money. We have never had
sponsors to support us, said Mr. Shahjahan.

It is not our physical capabilities that have frustrated us, it is
the system, he said. Mr. Shahjahan's two role-models in the game are
barely recognisable names -- A. Manish and M.T. Manoj, who excelled in
the national team for the Blind Cricket World Cup held in Islamabad in
2006.

Mr. Shahjahan is currently pursuing MA Malayalam at University College here.

[AI] Scheme to check blindness under review

[Renuka Warriar Edakkunni]

NEW DELHI, October 18, 2014
Scheme to check blindness under review
Special Correspondent
Harsh Vardhan
Harsh Vardhan

With 30,000 fresh cases of blindness being reported in the country
every year, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Harsh Vardhan
has announced a review of the National Programme for Control of
Blindness (NPCB).

A Centrally-funded scheme, the NPCB was launched in 1976 to reduce the
prevalence of blindness. However, the rate has not shown appreciable
difference even after 28 years, the Minister noted in Bangalore on
Thursday.

The Rapid Survey on Avoidable Blindness conducted during 2006-07
showed a reduction in the prevalence of avoidable blindness from 1.1
per cent in 2000 to one per cent in 2006. The NPCB has now targeted to
bring down the prevalence of blindness to 0.3 per cent by 2020 from
the present level of one per cent. While he is pushing for the full
utilisation of funds earmarked for the NPCB for the 12th Plan period
(2012-17) with the State governments, the Minister is also seeking the
help of non-government organisations to promote eye donation. There
are many lapses on the part of both donors' families and eye banks in
implementing the wishes of a donor. Often the bereaved family members
forget to call the eye banks. At other times, the collectors fail to
turn up on time, he said at a function.

Appreciating the concept of 'vision ambassadors' -- volunteers who act
as link between donors and eye banks -- being followed in Bangalore,
the Minister said it should be replicated.

India has the largest burden of global blindness -- about 3.5 million
with 30,000 new cases being added each year.

[AI] Initiating them into the world of light, self-reliance

Braille Vidyarambhom organised in city for the visually challenged
Writer Balan Pootheri inaugurating the Vidyarambhom ceremony organised
for the visually challenged at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology
in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.
Writer Balan Pootheri inaugurating the Vidyarambhom ceremony organised
for the visually challenged at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology
in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.

In the background, a computer voice could be heard while a large,
diverse group of participants interacted with one another, had tea and
tried their hand at cooking sambar. It was a Vidyarambhom ceremony
unlike any other.

On Friday, when cultural centres and religious institutions across the
city observed the ritualistic ceremony initiating children into the
world of letters, 'Accessible Vidyarambhom' for the visually
challenged organised by the Chakshumathi Charitable Trust at the
Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (RIO) stood out from them. The
trust has been organising the Braille Vidyarambhom since 2012.

Life skills

This programme offers a new beginning to those who have lost their
sight due to an illness and to children born without the sense of
sight. This time, Chakshumathi went beyond helping children punch
their first words using a Braille pad. It focussed on initiation into
skills such as mobility, communication, cookery and workplace
rehabilitation that need to be carefully built as a back-up for adults
who lose their sight, which invariably damages their self-confidence.

Besides helping children trace words on rice grains, they were helped
to type out 'Om Hari Sri...' on a laptop, which was read out loud by a
screen-reading software. This exercise was carried out by all
participants, some as young as three and a few above 80 years of age.

Chakshumathi specialises in assistive technology for the visually
challenged and the programme sought to impress upon the participants
that they did not need to rely on another person to read and write.

Inspiring tale

Writer Balan Pootheri who inaugurated the programme stressed the
importance of growing independent and not letting the condition govern
one's actions. He lost his eyesight when he was studying for his
master's degree in Malayalam literature and yet published over 125
books so far.

Sreenidhi, 11, afflicted with cerebral palsy with visual impairment,
came all the way from Kannur for the programme. He was quite
proficient in using screen readers and voice recognition software to
effectively use a computer, said Ram Kamal, managing trustee of the
organisation.

Most of the participants are regulars at Chakshumathi's rehabilitation
centre at the RIO, set up around four months ago.

 Dear friends,
 For nearly month I could operate the computer, since I was bed ridden

 At four places-left ancle, leg, hand and face-minor hair line crack
 were there.  So I think I have missed a lot from here. . If I asked
