Re: [AI] Accident at Hyderabad
There is one simple law of the road applicable universally. You were provided with a break which you should have known to apply in such situations, before coming on to the road.

Re: [AI] Information Request
I never said a word against Ayurveda. But putting the discussion in to the original context about astrological and numerological causes for blindness, I still have a different opinion and I am surprised that so many blind people think that way. More interestingly karma doctrine, expressed here on the list, is still unchallenged by any mail. You are blind as you committed some sins in your previous birth, seems to be an accepted view. Interesting. I have nothing more to say. Regards - Original Message - From: "P.

Re: [AI] towards 2020
Unconsciously is perhaps the right word. We unconsciously use one of the available senses like smell, sound and touch, there is no scope for a 6th sense here. If you have seen the movie "The Phantom of the Opera" you will notice that this 6th sense is not exclusively linked with the disabled persons. The main protagonist, the phantom, is a sighted person who has spent almost all his life in a dark building. He manages so well in the dark that he is never arrested, never bumps in to things and can always avoid traps set to capture him. He is supposed to have some magical power, but it is not so. - Original Message - From: "P.

Re: [AI] Information Request
As far as my opinion is concerned, and I believe that is also the majority opinion, the causes for blindness are purely medical. Numerological and astrological reasons have nothing to do with it. In the past, even I have made some accurate predictions on the basis of what I knew of numerology about a person's life, it is purely unscientific. We should not encourage such researches, they might be counterproductive in strengthening some stereotypes. - Original Message - From: "Prashant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 10:58 AM Subject: [AI] Information Request > Dear List members > > This mail may seem off topic but since Accessindia is the only source of > reaching to a large number of VI persons, I am sending this information. > Members, please send all your responses and queries only to the email > address given below. > > > > A Numerologist is conducting a research on the astrological aspects of > visual impairment.

Re: [AI] Accident at Hyderabad
(Accident *by* a blind person?) seems to be an error. While there is no particular reason to suspect this, there is no reason to accept this result of your inquiry. This is for the first time we are being told that a victim of an accident had alcohol in his blood. Generally the suspect is tested for alcohol level in the blood to see if it is a case of drunk driving. Now let the victim be punished for drunk walking? We generally hear of somebody being run over by a vehicle, if your sources are authentic then the unfortunate victim did not die on account of the collision with the vehicle, he was found in the pit, isn't it? If someone has to be held responsible for such things, let it not be the powerful one. Let the money change hands. This is what matters today, money, or some other kind of power like being close to the administration or the politicians, isn't it? So we look for the softest target for accountability. Kill your fellow MP and blame the nuxalites, who are outlaws and therefore, can't speak for themselves legally. The question again is why was there a pit open and unbarricaded, for the alcoholics to jump in to it? We must think again, the case is weak, or the victim *was* weak. - Original Message - From: "harish kotian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 3:22 PM Subject: [AI] Accident at Hyderabad > Hello all > > Regarding the unfortunate accident by a blind person who succumbed to an > accident after falling into a pit dug for built for constructing a flyover > at Hyderabad. > > I made some enquiries about it.

Re: [AI] towards 2020
I remember of bumping in to the cycle-rickshaws despite the cane. They are designed that way, your cane moves under the rick and your chest hits the back of the rick. (and some time you hear "zara dekh ke) isn't it interesting? I also remember of falling in to a pit dug by mtnl close to Stephens college. that too despite the cane. In fact, in an familiar area, where you are very confident, if there is a new activity , like digging or a parked car in front of your college entrance where it has no business to be, the cane mostly fails to defend you. - Original Message - From: "P.

Re: [AI] Nice suggestion but:
I remember someone told me about such a plan for teachers' union at the national level during Access India conference. If the organization is already there, why start a new one? But someone will have to mail to inform that the plan did materialise. Personally I don't see any use of yet another organization and that too at the national level. Moreover the organizations lose momentum or turn individual centric so I did not show much interest that time, and my opinion hasn't changed yet. But it's a negative opinion and I wish any such organization well. - Original Message - From: "Dr. Vipin Malhotra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 10:43 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Nice suggestion but: > > Dear BV. > Its a nice idea! > We have so many organisations for visually challlenged > persons but not for > teaching fraternity at large! > With regards, > Vip > > Dr. Vipin K.

[AI] management related material
Hi all. in the forgotten past some of you have written to me privately for management related books. I generally don't like when I am unable to arrange for an e-text of a book. When it comes to management related books I don't think there is much material available in the electronic format, at least I don't have any. I recently discovered a long lost friend and also that he is part of some firm which makes such books available online. They have contract with firms like McGraw hills and god knows who else and they have soft copies of all the important books, even those which are not going to be put on the web. I can try to obtain soft copies of such books, if they are not available elsewhere. Please write to me off list and name some important books. If they are easily available now, please let me know off list so that I don't have to take a favour.

Re: [AI] Should you change to Vista? If so, at what cost
2 things that are great about the new Operating system are the voice recognition and support for surround sound system. Another thing which personally I like is in the list of programs in add/remove programs in control panel, you can move to the desired program by pressing its first letter. You can use vista with jaws if you change start menu and view to classic style. But without 1 gig ram, you shouldn't think of moving to vista.

If so, at what cost Should you change to Vista? If so, at what cost Anand Parthasarathy New operating system software comes with a pre-loaded starter edition - Photo: Special Arrangement VAST VISTA: A choice of three consumer versions of Windows confronts buyers. Bangalore: Three versions of Windows Vista confront buyers. That is not to say that PC owners - at last count there were about 50 million of them in India, 9 out of 10 being users of an earlier Windows version - know quite what to do now. This is partly because Microsoft, while asking us to say `wow!' at all the new features, has been rather coy with practical details - like who must upgrade, who would be better off upgrading - and how much it is all going to cost. Launch event The main launch event in Mumbai was replete with Bollywood `masala' - but scant on earthy details such as how much each of the confusingly plentiful `avatars' of Vista will set us back in rupees. Here's some help: There are three consumer versions of Vista that one can buy off the shelf - and a fourth called Starter Edition that is special to India: It will be only be sold pre-installed on entry-level PCs marketed here. The three `shrink wrapped' versions range from the Home Basic, for those who browse the Net, write letters and e-mails - and do little else with their PC. If your PC has multimedia attachments that allow you to watch movies, play music and play graphics-rich games, the Home Premium version is for you (It corresponds roughly to what was called Windows XP Media Centre Edition). For those who want to mix business and pleasure - the full suite of office functionality as well as infotainment features - there is Windows Vista Ultimate. But, you still need to separately install the latest version of the productivity suite, Microsoft Office 2007, to get most of the common business features. Basic hardware Microsoft says the basic hardware required is a modern chip (that is 800 MHz or faster); 512 MB of memory, 20 GB of hard disk and a graphics processor with what is called DirectX 9. This might just work for the Starter edition - but except allowing you to search both your desktop and the Internet with a click or two, it will miss out on most the features that take Vista beyond the old XP. Our take: If so, why bother to upgrade? For the Premium and Ultimate versions, Microsoft recommends 1 GB of memory and a graphics card with at least 128 MB of its own memory. It also suggests at least 40 GB of hard disk. All three versions will take up about 15 GB of your disk space. After trying out the evaluation editions, we think users will need at least 2 GB of RAM to (as a famous petrol slogan of yesteryear went) ``fill up and feel the difference.'' The difference is mainly the much-touted Aero effect where 3D combined with a translucent `glass' effect has all your pages and open applications seeming to stand up in a see-through file on the screen. All versions boast of extremely user-friendly `parental controls' to monitor kids' surfing - and enhanced security features against junk mail (spam) and malicious mail - but it is too early to say how effective they are. And be warned: you still need to install a third party anti-virus software - unless you like to live dangerously. Key question Now the key question: Which Vista will work on your present PC? Microsoft has created a special download called Vista Upgrade Adviser at www.windowsvista.com, which examines your hardware and software and recommends what will work best for you. When I tried it on my AMD Athlon XP 2400-based PC currently running Windows XP, it suggested I could go in for Home Premium but it warned that my Xerox laser printer and Nero software for a Samsung Combo CD-DVD drive might not work. It has no issues with my HP deskjet printer. Common peripherals This is likely to happen with a lot of common peripherals. Our feedback is that the problem will bug many users for at least 6-8 months more since there are hardly any accessories or PC devices that include a Vista driver today. So finally: Who should upgrade? If you are currently running a version older that XP - like Win 98 - then you have no choice since you are stuck with a `dead' version: You might as we
[AI] interesting news recruiters seek disabled students
Recruiters Seek Disabled Students "Untapped" pool of potential employees called on to fill posts By Jimmy Tobias January 30, 2007 As Fortune 500 companies continue to diversify their offices with different types of top-tier students, candidates with disabilities may prove to be the next target audience. Last week, PepsiCo - the parent company of Pepsi, Frito-Lay and Tropicana - visited the University specifically to recruit students with disabilities, both physical and mental, for employment positions. The recruitment effort, which included a dinner and formal presentation, was facilitated by Morris Street Partners, a New York-based organization that currently has projects with PepsiCo and Merrill Lynch and aims to increase the number of disabled persons in the corporate workplace. To help companies draw in students with disabilities, Morris Street Partners hosts events that are just like standard on-campus recruitment ones but are exclusive - and tailored - to disabled students. Last week's initiative was PepsiCo's first disability-focused recruitment project with Morris Street Partners, said PepsiCo Director of Executive Staffing John Delpino, who heard about Morris Street Partners through a disabled executive at PepsiCo. After deciding to "get [their] tail wet," Delpino said, PepsiCo officials deemed the disabled a "very important population" and decided to go after it. And those students taking advantage of Morris Street Partners' services are singing the company's praises. "The idea behind the company is inspiring," said College freshman Julie Gutowksi, who does marketing for the company on campus. "Hopefully, [it] will take hold on college campuses, as well as in the business world," she said. Gutowksi began working at Morris Street Partners after attending one of their recruitment sessions last semester with Merrill Lynch. One Wharton senior, who is currently utilizing Morris Street Partners' services - and who refused to disclose her name because of the sensitive nature of her own disability, an auditory- processing disorder that impairs hearing - is currently in the early stages of recruitment at PepsiCo. She called Morris Street Partners' work "very insightful," adding that, "as long as the disability does not affect [the person's] performance as an employee," why not hire them? Still, officials at Morris Street Partners say they are not offering these services just for the sake of being considerate. "It is not about being nice - it is about being smart," said Susan Lang, the CEO of Morris Street Partners. Lang added that the non-profit organization approaches its work from a business perspective. Rich Donovan, who started the organization last March, added that "Morris basically aims to bring disabled individuals into the market economy." Donovan, who has cerebral palsy, called the disabled a significant national minority and pointed out that "this is something that hasn't been attempted before in a meaningful way." Morris Street Partners is active on five campuses and is in contact with 15 others. It will return to campus next year with a new, although not-yet-chosen, name. Career Services, which typically organizes on-campus recruitment events, advertised this event, but most of the planning was done by Morris Street Partners themselves, Barbara Hewitt, associate director of Career Services, wrote in an e-mail.

Dear list and Srinivasu. Sorry Srinivasu. I am bringing it back to the list as there is no point our discussing this problem between you and me. The person/persons who can solve the problem will have to know the problem to take any action towards solving it. Pasted below are 2 mails which should have been written on the list earlier. I didn't realize that Srinivasu wrote to me off list. First one is mine followed by the one it is a response to. The problem remains that apparently some mails are not reaching me.

This dramatic bouleversement shocks the audience into nervous laughter. Picking himself up, the blind man bitterly confides to the stunned audience that he is "amazed at how different from the man before this pitiless rascal was" (Kenny, 1989, p. 211); the double-edged irony forces the audience to laugh again in spite of itself. The blind man's conduct throughout is a model of decent if naive human behaviour - no 'disability model' is required; but the sighted audience is confronted by its own recognition that other people's trust and vulnerability may evoke sharply contradictory responses in oneself.

Re: [AI] Legal opinion required
The number of sick leaves vary from job to job. Some people are legally allowed to fall sick more often than others without having to forego their salary. . Isn't it weird? It is one of the ways the government pampers its employees, in other words, the government employees pamper themselves. It may be useful in some cases, but the provision is mostly misused very often. Generally the appointment letter mentions the number of sick leaves you are allowed. And since they are part of the terms and conditions of your job, any discrimination can be legally challenged. - Original Message - From: "fayaz Pasha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 7:37 PM Subject: [AI] Legal opinion required > Hi friends, > > I have a few questions which possibly legal experts on the list can > answer: > > 1.

So why should you have 6-8 months? Further, we developed multiple tests during these modules. Tests, as you are aware, are crucial for assimilation of knowlege. Further, our criteria is - a working knowlege of English, typing speed of 25 words per minute & have passed std 6. We have easily handled students with a rural background & most students had been motivated enough to brush aside the difficulties of hearing an american accent while they could barely speak the language. The course content includes office management skills. The results have been very encouraging. Your prerequisites are tougher & the course longer. Would you like to review these requirements ? Could you also please send your postal address? with best wishes yours sincerely Col P Kapoor General Secy.

Use of the word in an informal setting is all right, however, I am with Vetri in the request that some formalities be observed on a public platform like this list, where, even when you are replying a message, you are addressing every member.

Re: [AI] Issues on the CIEFL campus. Re: an introduction
A lot has changed since. Now UGC makes it mandatory to put some funds for the equipments for accesissebility. The best places to go to will be the VC office and the librarian's office. Even the department can help. JNU professors used to arrange funds for expensive reading machines in some cases when there was no concept of computers earlier. Contacting JNU and DU libraries won't help, contacting UGC will. However, while meeting the VC at CIEFL you can refer to JNU and DU, where it can be easily proved, at least in the case of JNU, where they have one computer on every 2 students. At least one computer equipped with Jaws and Kurzweil softwares has to be there in CIEFL too. I know the university is very well equipped. A couple computers can easily be reserved for the visually challenged. - Original Message - From: "Vetrivel Murugan, Adhimoolam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 8:04 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Issues on the CIEFL campus.

Re: [AI] girl needs help
I don't know the genesis of this information. But sounds not quite accurate. Percentile cannot be the basis of deciding on a cut off, moreover, percentile varies from paper to paper and category to category. If I found the right thing the following information should throw more light on it. They consider PWD as one category, which is legally not allowed. Please read the following, if someone can draw some conclusions from it. GDPI[1].pdf Indian Institute of Management Bangalore This document provides information related to the candidates who applied to the Post Graduate Program ( PGP) 2007 at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore ( IIMB). It summarizes the profile of all the applicants to the program in comparison to the profile of those who have been short- listed for the group discussion and interview on certain dimensions that are used in the selection process. The excerpt below from the CAT Bulletin indicates the parameters used in the selection process at IIMB. " Candidates are short listed for the interview on the basis of their performance in the Common Admission test ( CAT), their scholastic record and relevant work experience. . The CAT score is but one of the inputs at every stage of the selection process. It is possible for a candidate with a lower CAT score to be selected for interview and group discussion, and to be offered admission in preference to a candidate with a higher CAT score on account of better performance in other criteria mentioned above." Accordingly, this document reports the comparative information on performance in the Common Admission Test ( CAT) 2006, past scholastic performance and relevant work experience. In addition, it also summarizes some demographic dimensions of the applicants and those short- listed that are of general interest to applicants. Out of the total of 176600 candidates who appeared for CAT 2006 held on November 19, 2006, 171709 have applied for PGP. 2007 at IIMB. Among them 1065 have been short- listed for the group discussion and interview stage: 707 in the General, 104 in the OBC, 147 in the SC, 79 in the ST and 28 in the PWD categories.

Re: [AI] girl needs help
Very true sir. It is so surprising that we have apologists for mainstream and IIM's amongst us. Reservation is primarily needed to bring social justice and give the forgotten and neglected ones their well deserved right. Let me remind the list of a case in bihar when an SC candidate got just one mark out of 500 in a pre-medical test and he got through. No doubt there were concerns against such practice, but then their legitimacy is again a moot point. Here the question is that of a girl who has done quite well in the exam. and medical profession should have been much discriminatory (thinking from the perspective of the champions of so called propriety), than management where you are taught to ... well, whatever. . Let me also answer Asif's mail and request people not to get deluded by such mendacious claims as, "we don't find suitable candidates." Let us read suitable as sighted. The suitability criteria is one of the oldest ploy and very suitable for these institutions. The Reservation should be considered literally and applied properly. Out of 1200 seats 12 should be "reserved" for the visually challenged. Reserved means that no one else should get admissions on those seats. If no visually challenged available, "no suitable candidate" as they put it, then those seats should be kept vacant under the law. Once that thing is clear to them, all the candidates will be suitable. In all such institutes like IIM there are seats reserved for Foreign students and in their case "suitability" does not matter much, as also in the case of quota seats. What matters is money. Let me also add that just because some visually challenged candidates were accepted in a particular institute in the past, does not mean that the acceptability level will not go down. The policy have changed with the managements. And as the reservation for OBC's is strictly imposed, there will be reduction everywhere in the acceptability of the differently abled. The managements will definitely like to have control on some seats. Visually challenged being the softest targets, they will be the worst sufferers. The organizations must get ready for the battles to come. There is another cause for concern. The Supreme Court has always maintained that the reservation cannot cross 50% limit. After the reservation for OBC's becomes applicable, how is the government going to reconcile with this problem is anybody's guess. (on this particular matter, those with legal knowledge might correct me). Coming to an earlier mail by Subramani. IIm Bangalore, like many other institutes, might be under an illusion that 3 % seats should be reserved for differently abled. They perhaps need to be told how the reservation is distributed among various categories. And always remember, first seat goes to visually challenged. Now if you read the PWD act, it would seem to be applicable only to the jobs not in the institutes of higher/lower learning, but the court has made it clear that it also applies to the latter case. Another thing. Do file a complaint in the office of commissioner of disabilities. But do not trust the office too much for action. It will neet to be done at individual level. The commission is a toothless body. Moreover, in the past we have found from a former employee of the commission that the current commisioner is not favorable to the blind. The latest example to prove my point is a case where I myself and Mr. Nikhil Jain, Sambhavana president, had a long and not so friendly argument with the commissioner on his ruling on case we filed in the office. Our interpretation of the PWD act happened to be different from his. I told him on his face that we are not satisfied and we will go to court. Some of the individuals pooled in resources and did go to court, won the case. As far as I remember the court also passed strictures against the commission, even though we did not make commission a party to the case. coming now to Vaishnavi's case. She, and whoever talks on her behalf, must talk tough, file in a complaint in the commissioner of disabilities office, also write to HRD ministry. Read the PWD act and related cases properly, ask for information under the RTI act. Tell them repeatedly that 12 seats are reserved only and only for visually challenged. And first reserved seat belongs to the visually challenged no matter what the IIM and its apologists think, she must get the admission.

Re: [AI] happy Louis Braille birth day
Very well said. Happy birthday Louis Braille. Let us also wish Access india the same? Isn't it Access India anniversary today?

This day comes every year and reminds us about the great person who challenged the existing social attitude towards the visually disabled persons prevalent at that time. He invented Braille and provided us the possibility of self learning. Braile is not merely a script but it is a way of life for visually chalenged persons. I have grown in strength with braille. It has prvided me the muchneeded individuality and sense of belongingness to myself and the society. So today i once again thank that great mesiah: the God who built the world of hopes and aspirations for the person with visual disability.

Re: [AI] Which is best scanner today?
Try if USB 4100 by Umex is still available. The problem with scanners is they disappear from the market irritatingly fast. USB 4100 is inexpensive and gives very good results, at least it used to, till the time i could use it. Another favorite is Perfection v100 (Epson) It is very good and fast, but not sure if it is available in India. I was also impressed by the features of bookedge 3600 (plustech) scans a page in 4 seconds. but it is very expensive. Since, I couldn't find it any of the local stores and there was no return policy on it if purchased online, I couldn't try it. These days all in one machines are in vogue, and very often they are cheaper than the stand alone scanners, don't ask me why. I am using photosmart 3140 (HP) it can scan, print and photo copy. Good results but takes a little more than 10 seconds per page. Keep in mind that these days very often packaging does not include USB cable. Make sure you have a USB cable before leaving the shop.

Re: [AI] Bad News
I sincerely wish it wasn't true. My fingers fail me to write an obituary for a person who had low vision but who was highly visionary. He was an intellectual with serious ambition to work in favour of blind students without making much noise. He remained on several committees formed by University of Delhi and was a major force in changing the mindset of the University authorities towards the blind. Despite significant vision loss, he could read print. Hence it will be erroneous to think that he built an audio book library for himself. He took help from his students in the university to record books in general interest and he had a great collection of professionally recorded books. He donated his entire audio book library to the DU braill library. Meeting him used to be a great experience. Memories of various rendezvous with him are still vivid in my mind. With me, he always was in an infotaining mood. He was a classicist and could recite large chunks of poetry from memory. I got to know this when once I complained to him, "teaching poetry without Braille is impossible." He said, "why not memorize them." Then he started reciting and I could not help marveling at his capacity to memorize and remember things at such an old age. I didn't realize for a long time that he was a fan of Cricket. Significantly dejected and wanting to talk to someone nice, I called him up one evening. After 40 minutes of talk he perhaps had enough of it and exclaimed, "Tara, Why are you not listening to the match?" I asked him what was there in it and that we were anyway going to lose the ask being more than 320 and India already 5 wickets down for less than 70 runs. He assured that India was to win that match. That was the match that made Md. kaif and Youvraj Singh heroes in the world of cricket. Once he asked me for my biographical details for a book he was about to publish in which the lives of some great blind people were to be described. I declined stating that I was neither great and nor I was going to be. My reasoning to him that greatness leads to isolation, was so untrue in the context of his life. It is agonizing to believe that the great soul has left us. Prof. Sena may not physically be with us anymore, he will live with his books, his memories and his inspirational lectures. His soul hes left us, he has left us a spirit to live with, the spirit of hardwork and perseverance to be successful despite obstacles. With a very heavy heart I bid farewell to the great man.

Re: [AI] A Burning Issues(replies)
Hi. Below is the remainder of the report as promised. . The labor market does not adequately accommodate disabled women, nor are there sufficient laws to prevent and punish harassment - either sexual harassment or harassment on the basis of disability. According the United Nations, only one quarter of women with disabilities worldwide is in the workforce. They are twice as unlikely to find work as disabled men. In the United States, disabled men earned 55 percent more than disabled women in 1994-95. . There are reports of high rates physical and sexual abuse against disabled women and girls living in institutions for the disabled. In some countries, disabled women living in institutions are abused at twice the rate as those living in the community. . In Africa, where the myth that having sex with a virgin can cure a person of HIV/AIDS, women and girls with disabilities are targeted for rape because they are presumed to be asexual and thus virgins. . The combination of discrimination on the basis of gender and disability results in low literacy rates for women and girls with disabilities and low rates of school attendance. UNESCO estimates that the overall literacy rate for persons with disabilities worldwide is 3 percent, and for disabled women and girls it is 1 percent. One source says that less than 2 percent of children with disabilities are attending any form of schools, but no gender breakdown of that number is available. In the U.S., disabled women are five times more likely than non-disabled women to have fewer than eight years of schooling. Particularly for girls who do not attend school, information on reproductive health is less available, leading to the unsurprising result in the U.S. that young women with disabilities are significantly more likely to be mothers three to five years after leaving school than non-disabled young women. Studies in the U.S. also show that disabled students experience higher rates of sexual harassment in schools, and disabled girls face higher rates than disabled boys. . Disability benefits are lower for disabled women than for disabled men in some countries, such as Canada. These benefits are tied to work and earning histories, thus penalizing women who face discrimination in the labor sector and lower wages than men. list end Although human rights abuses against women and girls are rampant, they are largely ignored. Justice systems fail to accommodate disability, making it difficult for women to prove abuses of their human rights. For example, some courts will not entertain allegations of sexual violence brought by blind women, because of supposed difficulties in identifying the perpetrator. In terms of donor attention, bilateral assistance to address the needs of disabled people is rare, and poverty reduction strategies often ignore both the issues of disabled people and issues of gender. Background on the Draft Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities Since 2001, there has been serious movement toward an international treaty on disability rights. The General Assembly adopted resolution in 2001 which established an ad hoc committee to work on such a treaty. By July 2005, the ad hoc committee has had five major meetings and has produced a draft treaty covering a wide variety of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. The ad hoc committee's sixth meeting takes place from August 1-12, 2005. In terms of women's rights in the draft convention, they are addressed in many of the articles (e.g., ones dealing with statistics and data collection, equality and nondiscrimination, violence, work, participation in political and public life, education, health care, privacy and family issues, and social security.) There is also a proposal that there be an additional article specifically on women's rights to highlight the fact that disabled women suffer distinct discrimination from disabled men. The United Nations " Enable" website has comprehensive information on the drafting process for the disability treaty. The language of the current draft of the treaty must be drawn from four different documents that reflect the status of negotiations on various articles. They key documents are: List of 4 items . The original draft convention from January 2004, which proposed language for Articles 1-25. . A series of suggestions from member states on the treaty as a whole, set forth in the 3rd ad hoc committee report from May-June 2004. This document includes proposed article 15bis specifically on women. . The 4th ad hoc committee report from August - September 2004, which summarizes the member states' basic agreement on Articles 4-7(4). . The 5th ad hoc committee report from January-February 2005, which summarizes the member states' basic agreement on articles 7(5)-14(bis). list end Regards original message > Here is a bit for those who want to work more in this
Re: [AI] A Burning Issues(replies)
Here is a bit for those who want to work more in this field. Women and Girls with Disabilities Human Rights Watch is committed to promoting the human rights of all persons, and is supportive of the movement toward codification of a specific international human rights treaty on disability rights. We are concerned that the current draft of the treaty does not yet adequately protect the human rights of women and girls. This website and the linked documents provide background on this issue and suggest improvements for the treaty. List of 3 items . Background on Abuses of Disabled Women's and Girls' Rights . Background on the Draft Comprehensive and Integral International Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities . Human Rights Watch letter outlining concerns about the draft disability treaty list end Background on Abuses of Disabled Women's and Girls' Rights Approximately 300 million women around the world have mental and physical disabilities. Women constitute 75 percent of the disabled people in low and middle income countries. Women with disabilities comprise 10 percent of all women worldwide. Women are more likely than men to become disabled during their lives, due in part to gender bias in the allocation of scarce resources and in access to services. When ill, girls and women are less likely to receive medical attention than boys and men, particularly in developing countries where medical care may be a considerable distance from home. They are also less likely to receive preventive care, such as immunizations. Due to social, cultural and religious factors, disabled women are less likely than men to make use of existing social services, including residential services, and it is estimated that disabled women worldwide receive only 20 percent of the rehabilitation. A study in the Asia Pacific region found that more than 80 percent of disabled women had no independent means of livelihood, and thus were totally dependent on others. According to the World Health Organization, girls with disabilities may be more readily institutionalized than boys. Disabled women and girls face the same spectrum of human rights abuses that non-disabled women face, but their social isolation and dependence magnifies these abuses and their consequences. Women and girls with disabilities fare less well on most indicators of educational, professional, financial, and social success than their non-disabled female and disabled male counterparts. In some countries, laws overtly discriminate against disabled women and men, including by barring them from marrying if they have any form of mental disability. Even where the laws are not discriminatory, disabled women and girls face a host of abuses at the hands of their families, communities, and the state. Though definitive data is rare, there is some evidence that disabled women and girls face higher rates of violence and discrimination than non-disabled women. List of 8 items . Disabled women's sexual and reproductive rights are grossly abused. They experience forced sterilization; forced abortion due to discriminatory attitudes about their parenting abilities; and denial of information about reproductive health and contraceptives. When seeking reproductive health care, disabled women often face abusive treatment at the hands of physicians who do not understand their particular circumstances. A study in the U.S. showed that women with disabilities were significantly less likely to receive pelvic exams than non-disabled women. . Disabled women also face limitations on their rights to marry and found a family, and often lose of custody of their children. In some countries, it is almost impossible for disabled women to adopt children. . Disabled women face high rates of violence, both at the hands of family members and of personal assistants. Their dependence on their caregivers makes it even more difficult for them to pursue a remedy than for non-disabled women. Even where shelters are available for survivors of domestic violence, they are rarely accessible for disabled women. Research indicates that the violence faced by disabled women may be more chronic and severe, and takes some unique forms, such as withholding of essential care and medication. It seems also to be more prevalent: surveys conducted in Europe, North America, and Australia have shown that over half of disabled women have experienced physical abuse, compared to one-third of non-disabled women. In the United States, children with disabilities are almost twice as likely to experience sexual abuse as non-disabled children.

But again the question is, is it a proper forum to rays such issues? Though our parliament is competant to make laws for whole of the territory of india. But it can not alter the basic structure of our consitution. Likewise, the basic structure of this group here is to discuss issues related to accessibility.

Re: [AI] another case of discriminatory practice by the airlines
Exactly. The airport is not our university canteen to be visited frequently. No matter how good one's mobility, it is virtually impossible to move about in the airports for a blind person on one's own. This airline is going to be in serious trouble if it can be proved that a third person was disturbed by the airline staff for not accompanying her to the airport.

Re: [AI] Examinations using pc
That's what we do, balance the western excesses. I said that university arbitrarily decide on the extra time. Delhi university allows 1 3rd extra time (1 hour to be more precise for 3 hour exam). JNU provides 50% extra time for the entrance exams. In the US you can get double of normal time even for a test like GRE. But the standard is 50 % extra. I will try to fish out the UGC circular in the matter.

Thanks for clarity but the motive is not yet clear. I do respect your respect for the law of the list. I however, regret your insensitivity towards the socially relevant issues concerning blind men and women and also that of the conventions of the list. We all break laws sometimes and you have yourself done it recently by raising your objections on the list. Just to refresh your memory, you yourself have been part of discussion threads which did not have anything to do with access technology. Why such a move towards 'propriety' now? Are we smelling a sabotage tactics there? Will you please give any example when someone was banned from the group while raising issues directly concerning the blind? You are right that forming a group is very easy these days. It, however, always has been easier to hit a delete key if you thought the message was not relevant or useful to you.

Re: [AI] A Burning Issues(replies)
Let us try to answer some of them. 1. Can the sexual harassment of women in general and visually impaired women in particular be comprehended in isolation from the larger structural and cultural variations such as caste, class, gender, race, the state and other forms of social communities? answer. Not really. However, since the blind women is a very small minority in the vast multitude, with some issues not effecting their sighted counterparts, there has to be an independent consideration for this problem. Long back we have entered the age of smaller narratives, today there is not one grand truth, there are several small truths/ narratives. There is not one universal feminism there are several branches. The way western style feminism cannot and should not subsume the issues facing the women from east, the blind women in India can and should start a separate discourse. A feminist discourse not lead by the award seeking recognition hungry elite group but by the ones at the grass root level. 2. Should we reduce the gender discrimination within the visually impaired community to the existing dominant social attitude that considers man and woman as the two opposing categories? Answer. That is not possible. The two opposing categories are the victim and the predator (can even can be replaced with have's and have not's). In some cases, the exploitation of the women can even be happening under the supervision of women themselves. 3. While talking about various institutions for the visually impaired women it is absolutely essential to ask the question: What kind of institutions are available for women and who controls them? Answer. Who controls them is a bigger and more important question. If an organization is controlled by a pleasure seeking or money minded person, there are possibilities of ugly dealings. To actually find about the person/s who control them may be quite difficult sometimes. 4. Should the awareness campaign be confined only to the sensitization of women? Isn't it essential to realize the fact that it is men in general and visually impaired men in particular need to be told that women are not just the readily available sexual objects, rather they are also active human beings who deserve a meaningful and respectable human life with dignity? Answer. Both. However, more often it is the men who need to be sensitized. Complicity of some women in such shady stuff cannot be ruled out, however, the ultimate beneficiary is a male. 5. Shouldn't it be necessary to extend any such awareness campaign beyond a few handful of English speaking audience? Answer. It really is. That is where the limitation of the computer technology comes. It cannot be done by Access India, however, it can be done by Access Indians. 6. Can such awareness campaigns be materialized without the support of certain institutions like the state, advocacy groups, NGOs, and activist movements? Answer. I have made my views on this clear in an earlier mail. Without them you can have a report of academic interest, nothing more than that. Now a question from me. Can men be a voice for blind women? My answer is no. so I must shut up.

Re: [AI] A Burning Issue
You are agreeing with what viraj hasn't said. Nowhere he maintained that women from this group should express their opinions about the issue, it is up to them and they are well with in their rights to maintain a silence. What he is trying to do is draw the attention back to the issue of the organizations meant for blind women being in fact against them. Some previous mails turned the focus of the discussion more towards women than the organizations. It seems to be in the interest of the organizations. To say that women should learn the martial arts is kind of divesting those organizations from their responsibility.

Re: [AI] A Burning Issue
I agree. But when a student writes a report even if well supported with accurate data but not supported by any relevant organization, it remains a mere study. The chances that it makes a difference in policies of the government or organizations, is very slim. Smriti is a research fellow, working on a topic related to blind, keeps in touch with me for guidance, it was just a suggestion with a kind of warning of isolation to her to conduct a study in the matter . I again wish her luck if she works on the topic. It might ultimately be quite useful. - Original Message - From: "Harish Kotian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [AI] A Burning Issue > Hello Tara Prakash > I differ with you that is merely of accademic interest. > If that be the case, all forms of exploitation can be reduced to that one > line.

Anjali. I no longer like such studies, I have been part of several such studies conducted by leading institutions like School of Planning and Architecture, IIT and IIMC, and I decide finally to discourage all such disabled based studies unless they are not restricted with in the confines of the book shelves. However, since you have asked I will suggest you to look for Access India archives. You will find a long discussion on this topic when the list was on free list.

Re: [AI] A Burning Issue
So why don't you initiate the discussion? it is a burning issue, agreed. But what makes you think that there are not enough laws to prevent such a despicable thing? There are several instances to prove that organizations supposedly working for the disabled, exploit disability and disabled to maximum extent. It requires courage to say and do such stuff. It will make in to a good study, should you decide pursuing it. But be prepared for isolation in this field. Ultimately it remains the matter of academic interest, nothing more. Is there any organization which claims to be a voice of the disabled and has more than 50 % of the disabled employees? How many organizations are there which can claim they have a written rule that 3 % of the seats will be reserved for the disabled according to our constitution? I am not trying to sidetrack the issue you raised but expecting something significant from NGO's in this regards is expecting a little too much. They themselves don't practise what they preach. Unless things have drastically changed recently, with the exception of NAB, none of the major organizations employ disabled readily. You can start collecting data and publish an interesting study.

Re: [AI] Help.
The person in this particular context wants books in the cassette form. Blind Relief Association recording studio is a great repository for books containing these topics. Again i cannot trust my memory too much but you can try the following phone number to ask about the availability of books. 011-2436-1376 AICB Rohin can also be contacted. Again a number from a faulty memory. 011-2705-0915. NAB Delhi, surely has such books in English but I am not sure if they are still maintaining the cassettes. But you can check with them. The number surely is 011-2610-2944 You can ask on the list particular authors prescribed in the course. People belonging to these organizations are members of the list and s time permits, they might be willing to check the availability of the specific books. BB Chaudhary is one who writes Political Science and History books keeping the curricula in mind, covering as many topics as possible. his books will surely be available.

The voice quality is quite good. it has a toggle key to move from skype connection to regular phone connection. It gets signals from USB enabled device. Once the VOIP is legal everywhere, the regular phone service providers may need to pack up. - Original Message - From: "Vikas Kapoor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Access India" Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 5:04 PM Subject: [AI] Skype Handset Sheds the PC > Skype Handset Sheds the PC > > Nov 27, 2006 > > A Danish company has begun selling a cordless telephone handset that works > with Skype and doesn't require a personal computer. > > The DualPhone 3088's base station connects to both a broadband Internet > connection for Skype > Internet telephony > calls and a traditional analog landline connection for making calls over > the public switched telephone network. > > The maker, RTX Products, says its the first such handset that can connect > with Skype without the need for a personal computer to manage the calls. > The only > requirement for use is that the Internet connection is "always on." > Connections that time-out after a period of no use are unsuitable, > according to RTX. > > However, several > vendors have introduced > cordless handsets so Skype users need not be physically tethered to their > PCs. > > Handset Specs, Price > > The handset has a color display on which the current Skype status of > contacts is displayed.

I know several people who have memorised entire 18 chapters of the "holy" book and mantras are chanted from memory and not read.

This term first appears in the Code of Hammurabi, an ancient set of laws from the near east, in 1700 BC. [1] It is also referenced in ancient Greek writing of the 7th century BC. It continues to be used to refer to deaf people, mainly within a historical context, to indicate deaf people who cannot speak, or have some degree of speaking ability, but choose not to speak because of the negative or unwanted attention atypical voices sometimes attract." > Rather than confusing these terms, the ideal situation will be to educate > the society to use the words like blind and dumb only in their original > sense.

There is nothing derogatory about these words > unless we start making them so. I beg to differ. Here is the word dumb in wiktionary: " 1. Unable to speak; lacking power of speech. His younger brother had been born dumb, and communicated with a self-taught kind of sign language. 2. (informal, pejorative) Describing something, especially a person, that is extremely stupid. You big dumb oaf! You can't fix an engine by hitting it with a hammer! 3. (informal) Describing something unintellectual. Harry had a dumb, brainless job moving boxes from one conveyor belt to another. 4. (figurative) Pointless, or serving to create more problems than it solves. This is so dumb! We're just driving in circles; we should have asked for directions an hour ago. " You will note that definitions 2, 3 and 4 are all negative. As opposed to this, "mute" in wiktionary has the following definitions: " 1. A person who does not have the power of speech. 2. An acting part where no speaking (and in opera, no singing) is required. 3. In music, an object for dulling the sound of an instrument, especially a brass instrument. 4. One refusing to speak; 5. An undertaker's assistant; 6. The deadening of an appliance's or musical instrument's volume; 7. In falconry, a mute is a hawk's or falcon's droppings. 8. In wine making, mute, from the French, is the grape juice from pressed grapes kept aside in chilled stainless steel tanks and used at later stages of wine making by adding to the dry wine base to achieve the desired residual sugar level in the final product. (Usually spelled "muté " in this case and pronounced "mju:te".) " Please note that definitions 1-4 and 6 have something to do with the non-production of sound, none of which are negative. 5, 7 and 8, I would wager, were unknown to us all before now. While I would be delighted if the world stopped using many words in negative ways, I am not holding my breath. Until that happens, I prefer to use a word that is equally short, more precise and less negative. Just my $0.02...

Re: [AI] mute, instead of dumb?
Deaf and mute? It will need getting used to. Rather than confusing these terms, the ideal situation will be to educate the society to use the words like blind and dumb only in their original sense.
