You may have a look at the Rupee Checker I designed.
More details are at: http://www.prashant.myehome.in/down.html
This is available from Saksham at nominal cost.
XRCVC had helped in the designing of a note counting machine with talking
features. You may contact them for it.

Re: [AI] Problem with a messaging app in iOs of Apple i4

I assume it is a problem with regional and language options. you can go into 
the settings, regional and language options and see whether english has been 
selected or not. I personally uncheck the predictions as well. It will keep 
on anoying with unwanted predictions. If that is not the case, I recommend 
you to go for a simple reset.

Subject: [AI] Problem with a messaging app in iOs of Apple i4



Dear Members,

I am facing an unfathomable problem while texting people from the
contacts as follows:

Please not that I am trying to plain text using messaging app on Apple i4 
ios

1. The easiest mode is for me is to click on 'more info' button of the
missed call and then by pressing send message button, type out the
message and send it to the missed caller.
But in this case, while typing, I hear something like 'data' instead
voice over prompting 'space'.
2. Similar thing happening when I am trying to text him by opening the
'messages' app and finding his contact and then sending him the text.
But absolutely the same problem as mentioned in method 1.

Additionally, when I look back at the messaging app to see if the
message chat is created, I only see the message first line and not his
contact name.

My take is that it is composing the text as an MMS message. And still
not getting delivered.
How do I deal with it?

Please guide

Vivek, Well the DoPT will not have any more options after this dismissal.
They have already tried before two separate benches with no positive
results for them.

They should come out with a memorandum revising their earlier Memo soon.
And if they don't, we all need to get in to some serious action by
inundating them with innumerable petitions to the PM, Concerned Ministers
of DoPT and Social Justice seeking suitable action!

 *'Disabled should get reservation in promotion'*
 Dhananjay Mahapatra, TNN | Feb 28, 2015, 03.33AM IST

 NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday said the government could not 
 deny

 quota in promotion to those who were appointed to a post under the
 reservation policy for the physically handicapped.

 A bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and A K Sikri rejected the Union
 government's plea to set aside a high court decision ordering that 
 those

 appointed in government service through physically handicapped quota
would
 also be entitled to reservation while getting promoted.

 Arguing for the Centre, attorney general Mukul Rohatgi said there were
four
 categories of civil services and if a person had availed the 
 reservation

 benefit in getting a job, it would be unfair to extend the reservation
 benefit yet again to him while considering him for promotion to the
higher
 category of service.

 The bench was not convinced. It said, Why confine the reservation
benefit
 only to the entry level and not for promotion. If a person is

Hi Neeraj,

It is absolutely necessary for women to have an exclusive group.  We
had a group of that kind in Retina India by name of Women of RI.  I
publicised it on AI.  However not many people joined that time.  Let
us hope it succeeds this time.  My best wishes to the team working on
this.

[AI] This is a good news.

2015-02-27 Thread SriPriya
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday said the government could not deny quota 
in promotion to those who were appointed to a post under the reservation policy 
for the physically handicapped. 

A bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and A K Sikri rejected the Union 
government's plea to set aside a high court decision ordering that those 
appointed in government service through physically handicapped quota would also 
be entitled to reservation while getting promoted. 

Arguing for the Centre, attorney general Mukul Rohatgi said there were four 
categories of civil services and if a person had availed the reservation 
benefit in getting a job, it would be unfair to extend the reservation benefit 
yet again to him while considering him for promotion to the higher category of 
service. 

The bench was not convinced. It said, Why confine the reservation benefit only 
to the entry level and not for promotion. If a person is disabled, he is always 
disabled. So, as long as the disability continues, he should continue to get 
reservation benefits. We feel that these disabled persons should have 
reservation not only at the entry level but also at the time of promotion. 

The law provides for 3% reservation to physically challenged persons in 
government service. After a long adjudication process on a public interest 
litigation, the apex court had directed governments to implement the quota for 
disabled and fill the vacancies including backlog. 

On October 8, 2013, the SC in a landmark order had directed the Centre and 
states to implement within three months an 18-year-old law mandating 3% 
reservation for such persons in government jobs. 

The 1995 Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights 
and Full Participation) Act came into force on February 7, 1996 providing a 
minimum 3% reservation in government establishments to the extent of 1% each 
for persons suffering from blindness or low vision; hearing impairment; and 
locomotor disability or cerebral palsy. 

The reservations will be implemented by all government departments, public 
sector undertakings and government companies at the Centre and states, 
enlarging opportunities for persons with disabilities eligible for benefits 
under the law. 

Rejecting the AG's arguments, the bench of Justices Dattu and Sikri said, 
Don't give a restrictive meaning to reservation by confining it to the 
appointment level. Disabled persons should be empowered to compete with normal 
people in promotion. 

When the AG argued further against grant of reservation benefits in promotion 
to disabled persons, the bench cut it short by telling him that persons 
belonging to Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes got the benefit of 
reservation both in appointment and promotion.

Yes I have seen light till I was in my early teens. No I cant make out if 
there is light on or off iin the room or even  sunlight. I have slept many 
times in rooms when I have been travelling alone or at home alone with 
lights on. My neighbors have called out to me to switch on or off the 
lights as the time of day may be.
I know it is the inner light that I see. Some days, I see a very bright 
white light in the middle reagon of my forehead glowing like a flame of a 
deea or candle!  Like the shape of a standing up eye.

However, in my case, I do not see anything.
I cannot experience light/darkness.
Though I can tell a lot about the light as a form of energy, I cannot 
experience it.

Dear Preeti, have you ever seen external light.
I mean, can you tell if there is or is not a source of light available?
If somebody switches off the lights, can you feel the difference or not.
If the bright light you refer to is not  from an external source, it is 
nothing but the imagination of your mind.
Because, if you can see the light even after you close your eyes, it is 
not through some external source but through your internal matabolism.

In that case, doctors would not agree that you see the light.

Hi I too am totally blind but I seem to see very bright white light all 
the time, day or night, eyes open or closed, and this light comes through 
a kind of very dirty small wire  mesh. Sad that I can't see any colors! 
Interesting that others also see something! I could see somethings, large

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.

Hi,
I'd preferably like to purchase one from India itself.
A table clock wouldn fulfill my needs, I need a wristwatch.
Thanks for your suggestions though.

If you are looking the same in India, then get in touch with Saksham.
They definitely had a table clock with stop watch, not sure of a watch
which has stop watch as well.

Otherwise RNIB has some watches which would meet your requirements.
Not sure if they are good for rough use.

Hi Vikas, Vamshi
As such, these Phillips shavers really lasts a very long time. The design
is
such, it does not require replacement of the blades. There is no other
expenditure really.

On some model, it is possible to clean even the blades, while on other
models, you require special tools to do so and it is done at their 
service

station.

Unfortunately, the blades are not standardised across their model and as 
a

result you cannot swap parts if you have other models.

If the battery is built in, this would be a factor for it to break down
early.
You can consider PQ202 Phillips shaver
It is light, small and has a removable batteries. The motor has a good
tork. You can use a rechargeable battery. It is very easy to clean it up
and
I had got for Rs. 1,111 on Snapdeal. The price may be different now.

The placement of the battery is non conventional. It is a matter of 
getting

used to.

I would recommend this model.

This does not have a trimmer. Actually, it is not necessary to have a
trimmer. I find the electric shavers takes less time to shave compared to
the traditional rasors.

Dear Bhushan and others,
We started this discussion about electric shavers for facial use which was 
fine and no one had any objection to that.
But when some members started querrying about the same for the pubic area, 
that was certainly awkward.
And that is why some members are objecting to such a thread and rightly 
so.

Let us respect the views of others.
And as was rightly pointed out, the answer to such private querries can be 
easily found by a little googling.


I started this querry and would like to thank everyone for their valuable 
responses about the facial electric shavers.
I too did some research  and have come to some conclusion which suits my 
needs, wich I would like to share.
The Philips Aqua touch and Norelco rotary  shavers are good for medium and 
light  beards.
But if one has a thick growth, then the top-end foil shavers do a better 
job.
Ofcourse  these are expensive but since my work requires  me to have a 
clean shave every other day, I dont mind investing on a good shaver.

So after a thorough research, I've decided to buy the following shaver:
Braun 799 CC electronic foil shaver.
This is a wet and dry shaver, fully water proof and it comes with a 
cleaning machine, so one need not worry about cleaning the blades.

Its for around 25k in India.

A similar model viz. Braun 790CC is equally good but it is only for dry 
use and not fully water proof.

This is for around 20k.

But if you have any relative or friend coming down from the U.S, you can 
get the 799CC model for around $280 and  the 790CC model for around $200.


I had a relative who just came down from the U.S and got the Braun 799Cc 
model and I must say its a fantastic electric shaver.
Within 4 minutes I have a clean shaven face and it takes care of the 
hardest of stubbles.
I understand its quite pricy but if you are looking for a top-end shaver, 
I would recommend it.


Thanks and regards,
And let us please respect the views  of others and not make others feel 
uncomfortable with private querries which can be easily googled out,

Sincerely,
Rishi.

Subject: [AI] sanitary napkin vs tampon? threading, plucker, or waxing? 
oops

or only electric shavers?

Dear all,

Greetings from Mumbai.

i have  read the very interesting discussions going on on this list, and i
would request someone to provide me with the guidelines of the list again-
it seems we are pushing boundaries each time.

In a very recent eenthusiastic thread active on the list i can only say 
that

it is shocking how couple of points could be related to blindness or
accessibility:

-what should be done first, trimming or  shaving

-how much time does a shave take

-if someone has a hard growth or a soft one

-how to clean the blade

-getting rid of the pubic hair



the first one or two exchanges were okay or could be directly/indirectly
related to accessibility but seriously the 37 others that followed?

these are only a few out of the many objectionable contents.



As a woman i can and will share my idea that this list suddenly seems like
an electronic space invader. for those who dont know who space invaders
are, let me tell you. they are those men who share a two seater bench with 
a
woman and take up three quarters of that seat/bench. now why do i say that 
?

because the gendered discussion going on this list reflects a very strong
patriarchal attitude and male hegemony. i can see how objections by women
were royally ignored.

it is not about personal is political but about the boundaries of a said
list and where i choose to be. if Access India decides that the boundaries
have changed and they are okay with gendered discussions and personal
matters that concern the blind then just for a minute reflect on this.

Women will absolutely bring up the accessibility of a sanitary napkin vs
tampon. i am sure menstrual issues  are of great concern to blind women. 
if

toilet habits of men are okay being discussed here so should be that of
women. and of course we will too indulge into enlighting discussions of
whether waxing is more doable than  self threading, and elaborate on how
frequently will we have to do the hair removal, or which method will leave
our skin soft and not let it go dark.



well, i really cant miss out on personal is political. we could bring up 
sex

positions on this list, because blindness leaves many people apprehensive
about not having seen sex positions earlier and lack of that impacting 
their
sexual lives. i work on gender, sexual rights, and disability so 
definitely

this wont make me shy away.



the point is that please tell us what is access India all about and some 
of
us will be happy to decide whether or not we want to be in this space and 
of
course others may choose to be here with full awareness of what can come 
up

and will be acceptable. of course some others like me will start utilising
the newly pushed boundaries!

Happy to comply.
