[AI] TRAI lowers termination charges; mobile tariffs to come
The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Monday, March 9, 2009 : 1645 Hrs National TRAI lowers termination charges; mobile tariffs to come down New Delhi (PTI): Telecom regulator TRAI on Monday slashed termination charges by 33 per cent, a move which would result in bringing down the mobile tariffs for consumers. Termination charges are paid by one operator to another on whose network the call ends. The regulator has reduced the termination charges on local calls to 20 paise a minute from existing 30 paise. The new operators such as Datacom, Unitech, Shyam-Sistema and Loop Telecom among others were demanding 0-10 paise per minute termination charge whereas the existing GSM operators were opposing any reduction in the charges, fearing there revenue would take a hit. The international calls made overseas to India are going to be costlier as the regulator has increased the termination charge for incoming international call to 40 paise from existing 30 paise per minute.

Re: [AI] Element of List in HTML
Hi, You can find more information about navigating web pages with in Jaws Help Topics. 1. Focus on the JFW window and press F1. 2. Down arrow to locate Using the Internet with Jaws. This is a treeview, so if you know how to move in it, you shouldn't have any problem. 3. Right arrow once to open the book. 4. You can go through all the topics by pressing enter on a particular topic and then pressing F6 to reach the text. You can hit F6 again to reach treeview, or use the link within the page to go to the next page. Now, for your questions. Can the element of list be navigated using the tab key? Only if the list is made up of links, or if the tab order is specified. Lists generally have textual elements, so its not possible. However, you can use I to move to the next item within the list and shift+I to move to the previous item. And when we hear, 'Extended select list box', can we navigate the page using the letter 'L' and 'I'? Yes. But, you need to turn forms mode on to navigate the extended select list box. And, if the forms mode is on, you can jump to a specific item using the first letter of an item. For example, in a select language list box, you can turn forms mode on, and then press E to directly land on English. In some web pages, we need to switch to forms mode to view the items in the list. Under such cases, when the letter 'I' is pressed, would Jaws read out the list item? I expect so.

The NGO, which took the initiative, claims that the portal is the first of its kind in the country. The website www.eyeway.org provides information on eye disorders, services, education, rehabilitation, parenting, legal provisions, recreation and career guidance to the blind people. The website has been specially designed to create awareness among the visually-impaired people on issues related to them. The problem with the blind people is not their blindness, but the thinking and attitude of their families, the society and of themselves, said George Abraham, head of the NGO Score Foundation, during the launch of the website here on Wednesday. The portal is dynamic and has special accessibility features such as choice of background, font colour, text only options and dynamic search functions. It has three sections - informs, inspires and includes, for the wholesome information requirements of the blind. The website enables the user to navigate with the help of magnification and talking software. The software has been bought at a cost of $800 from the US. We are continuously researching for information that is inspirational and empowering visually impaired people, besides looking for opportunities of reaching out to more and more people, said Abraham, who is also the chairman of Association for Cricket for the Blind in India. The NGO also runs a radio programme in Hindi, which broadcasts from 30 stations of All India Radio. There is also a helpdesk at the foundation that receives calls related to various issues that concern the blind people. There are over 16 million blind people in the country and a further 28 million are with low vision.

[AI] value able information
MAKES ONE THINK DOESN'T IT? VALUABLE INFORMATION: Advice from Snopes Here is a nice little tidbit of information that came my way this morning. So if any of you are wondering why I didn't return something to you that said something like 'if I don't get this back I'llor, 'See how many flowers you can get back', or ' Forward this to 10 people in the next 5 mins. or something bad will happen to you', etc. The following is why I don't send them back. Advice from Snopes.com http://snopes. com/ 1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to '10' of your friends, or sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mails to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers. 2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is, is a way to get names and 'cookie ' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor (PLEASE) by sending this information to them; you will be providing a service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future! If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound! You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT in the long run. Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's don't make it easy for them! Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed sig nature and full address of the person signing the petition.

Re: [AI] Member's Gender.
Sorry, this was sitting in my Draft Folder, so just posting it today. Hello Amaiyo, Good thread you picked up for name clarifications. I too am confused over a lot of East Indian names and paticipants of AI. And Shadab, assumably a male himself, seems to be even more confused as he has addressed me as Ms Amarjit in his mail of below. No, dear Shadab, this Amarjit is a male Amarjit, but I mentioned I had two female cousins who too were named as Amarjit. And, Amaiyo is right about Punjabi and particularly Punjabi Sikh names being used interchangeably for both genders. However, one can always distinguish the gender as Singh is used by the Sik males and Kaur is used by Sikh females. More and more Sikhs nowadays are reverting to using distinctive names e.g. Powar, Pawar, Paur, Gill, Dhillon, Cheema, Aurora, Dhaliwal, Saini etc. etc. (the list is endless) Since some last names were connected to the Hindu caste system, the tenth and last Guru of the Sikh faith, Guru Gobind Singh ji, wanted to create equality and uniformity in the Sikh faith and bestowed the name Singh for all males, or meaning lion, and Kaur for all females, or meaning princess. Most committed Sikh still continue to stand steadfast to ending the last name as Singh e.g. Indian Prime Minister, His Excellency, Manmohan Singh and His good wife as Gursharan Kaur. Comingto the name Kiran, we had two family friends while living in Africa, and one had his daughter named Kiran and the other had his son named as Kiran. These names are used interchangeably. Pretty hard to distinguish untill antefixed by Singh or Kaur. Well, so much about Sikh/Punjabi names.

Hello, I have changed the subject line for focussing on the last thread. First, let me tell you that I am a man. Names may be confusing at times. Names like Kiran and Kanchan may be both male and female names in India. It depends on the language and custom of the particular region. As far as my name is concerned, if I spell my name as Amiya, it becomes equivalent for both male and female names in Bengali. So I always spell it as Amiyo. Amarjit in Bengali sounds a male name. So, she must not be offended if somebody is confused, and I am sure, she is not. I have seen that Punjabi people do not distinguish between male and female names. We, Bengali people, are used to calling girls by names ending with an aa or with an ee sound. I appreciate the Sikh Punjabi tradition of using same type of names for boys and girls and indicating a girl's name with a Kaur. Best regards, Amiyo Biswas.

They are hard enough even for JAWS to pronounce let alone distinguish the gender. ha ha! Had Ms Sharma not introduced herself as a female, I too might have been compelled to assume her to be a he.

The Hindu News Update Service News Update Service Thursday, March 5, 2009 : 1615 Hrs Health Eyeway.org to guide the blind and their families New Delhi (IANS): A website to create awareness among the blind and people with low vision has been launched here. The NGO, which took the initiative, claims that the portal is the first of its kind in the country. The website www.eyeway.org provides information on eye disorders, services, education, rehabilitation, parenting, legal provisions, recreation and career guidance to the blind people. The website has been specially designed to create awareness among the visually-impaired people on issues related to them. The problem with the blind people is not their blindness, but the thinking and attitude of their families, the society and of themselves, said George Abraham, head of the NGO Score Foundation, during the launch of the website here on Wednesday. The portal is dynamic and has special accessibility features such as choice of background, font colour, text only options and dynamic search functions. It has three sections - informs, inspires and includes, for the wholesome information requirements of the blind. The website enables the user to navigate with the help of magnification and talking software. The software has been bought at a cost of $800 from the US. We are continuously researching for information that is inspirational and empowering visually impaired people, besides looking for opportunities of reaching out to more and more people, said Abraham, who is also the chairman of Association for Cricket for the Blind in India. The NGO also runs a radio programme in Hindi, which broadcasts from 30 stations of All India Radio. There is also a helpdesk at the foundation that receives calls related to various issues that concern the blind people. There are over 16 million blind people in the country and a further 28 million are with low vision.

Hi AccessIndians, But even Adobe Reader lets you save PDF files to Text files. I'm just curious to know why listers are finding it necessary to find alternative PDF to Text conversion software. Just look under the File Menu in Adobe Reader untill you seeSave As Text File. Now, I want to know if there is a free PDF maker out there on the web somewhere.
