[AI] Dolphin Vision
Fri, Apr 30 12:25 PM London, April 30 (ANI): A four-year-old blind boy named Jamie Aspland uses echolocation to see - just like dolphins. Jamie makes clicking noises with his tongue that makes him virtually know where things around him are lying. It's amazing, his 39-year-old mother Deborah says, Since learning the skill we can walk to the park and Jamie no longer has to hold my hand. Jamie - a twin who was born blind - was taught the revolutionary technique by a US expert t. Deborah says that Jamie became an expert of the technique after taking just three lessons, reports The Sun. Jamie is one of the few children in the world who have been taught how to copy dolphins by Californian Daniel Kish, who is himself blind. Kish names his echo-location skill as flash-sonar. It provides one with information of a fair amount of detail at distances of dozens of metres. Working with Jamie and his family was terrific. He he was very responsive, he said. Knowing Jamie can be safe and will understand what is happening, where the traffic is and what's around him, will really help, Deborah said.

[AI] Campaign by Citizens Against UID
Dear Friends, Last few days there had been a lot of discussions on the newly proposed UID and its usefulness on our list. Most of us believed that the inclusion of the aspect of disability in the UID could be very useful because of its multi-purpose utility. However, I came across an article in Counter Currents, an online newsletter which gives a completely different picture. Its a campaign by the citizens against UID. I thought that it would be nice if you could have some discussions on that article's point of view. So I am pasting below the article. Please go through it and give your critical appraisal. Regards, Dr. A.Rambabu Please Endorse: Citizens Against UID By Citizens Against UID 29, April, 2010 Countercurrents.org Kindly endorse the campaign against Unique Identification Number (UID), government of India's effort to give a number to every Indian citizen like they do to cattle before they are led to the slaughter house. It's kind of racial profiling which can be abused in a country like India where they use the census data to butcher people in riots ( remember the Gujarat pogrom). It's a violation of one's privacy, human rights and a threat to democracy. And they are tagging it with the ongoing census. There is a great threat that the information collected through census can be passed onto the UID authority, which is headed by a corporate CEO. It can be easily stated that it's not the Maoists the 'greatest internal threat' to Indian democracy, but the UID is. Please endorse this statement and pass it on to your friends and relatives who value Indian democracy.Please endorse the statement by clicking here We, representatives of people’ movements, mass organizations, institutions and concerned individuals including all the undersigned strongly oppose the potential tracking and profiling based techno-governance tools such as the Unique Identification number (UID) by the Government of India and the manner in which legitimate democratic processes have been undermined through this. The proposed UID project seems to be perched on an anti-people perspective and violates a number of basic rights guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution of India including Articles 14, 15, 17, 19 and 21 viz., the Rights to equality, dignity, privacy, expression and the right not to be discriminated against, The project seems to be aimed at profiling people by pooling in biometric and retinal data pertaining to an individual and could be potentially discriminatory in a country where caste identity is the most predominant socio-political marker. Further, it is a travesty on the dignity and privacy of individuals. At another level, given the fact that more than one third of our population live below the substantial level called “poverty line” and without literacy numeracy, a large section of our population would find itself unable to handle this number in a meaningful way and thus face the danger of virtually stripped of their citizenship and thereby the very legitimacy of their existence on the land of this country. This project which has been launched at a budgeted cost of INR 1900 Crores for the year 2010-2011 in a country where the Government has officially declared that 400 million of its citizens are living below poverty line is , thus an insult to the dignity of the Peoples of India. The project headed by a person of the rank of the Union Cabinet Minister, whose appointment was not transparent and a staff overhead of more than 100 is also working under the most non-transparent processes and we fear that the decisions are made and influenced by vested private and corporate interests who have had a record of anti-people and anti-democratic activities. There is no wide public discussion on the feasibility or desirability of the project. It is in this context that we have serious objections to the way the decadal census process is being used to pitch the UID process and no discussion on this has happened in any of the democratic forums including the Parliament, which also transgresses n the right to dignity and privacy of individuals and their choice to opt out of the UID process. If the UID continues to be tagged with the Census process – we would also consider boycotting the same. It is a matter of great concern that the powers that be have deliberately kept silent on the inter linkage between the UID and current mode of census In this situation it is not clear which decisions are being made by the private sector or
Re: [AI] Disclosing disability in CV
I endorse to your opinion, Shadab. Generally the employers specify the vacant position for persons with disabilities. HR officials manage the database in some organizations in case they have any disabled employee. So it barely matters to disclose the disability in CV. Another fact is that there are very a few companies where the disabled employees are hired directly by the employers in India. And even if they wish to appoint the disabled workers, they clearly mention about it, as I have said in above line. So it is self-explanatory for both the side, employers and candidates that only persons with disabilities may apply for the mentioned position. More often than not, private employers call the applicants for the interview through any organization or consultancy. In this process, employers are already informed about the disability of the candidate.

Re: [AI] Disclosing disability in CV
My personal experience is that not mentioning the disability in CV/Resume may not give an opportunity to the potential employer to decide whether to call the candidate for the interview in the first place. There's no point in going to an interview and failing due to the interviewer not being aware of your disability. Not every employer may be able to provide you with vision aids at workplace. Mentioning about your disability, on the contrary, helps a willing employer to prepare for including a differently abled candidate in the work-force. I had been selected at four different places (not willing to point out on the list) in the initial stage of my career and then rejected simply due to those employers not being able to grasp that I can work comfortably with a little adjustments to the screen display. Yes, those days I was not aware of screen readers and even if I were, they seemed not in a position to acquire it in their organizations. After such unfavourable experiences, I decided to include my disability in my Resume. When I was called for an interview from Mphasis, my current employer, I first enquired whether the HR person calling me knows that I am visually challenged. His consent helped me know that I would not have to face a failure due to disability and I went for the interview. Its good to disclose what you are right in the first place. Of course, this may invite some bias but that's inevitable. Best Regards, Zujar...

Re: [AI] Disclosing disability in CV
friends, I agree with shadab. To write disability in resume is like hara-kiri. I can safely say with my experience that if we will mansion disability in our resume 99 out of 100 employers will reject our application. At the same time if we do not write we have at least chance to prove our talent with laptop or other things. I don’t see any crime in hiding disability. Though Rajesh sir and other intelligent people think better than me. I have just expressed my views. Thanks.

Re: [AI] your precious advices required for laptop
Hello, If you are so particular of XP, Windows XP home preloaded or Doss based netbooks and notebooks are also available in the market. While purchasing doss based netbooks you should check for availability of drivers for windows XP. Jaws 11 supports windows 7. There may be some issues with jaws, they may be solved in the later versions. Some of the non techies of our accessindians also successfully operating windows 7. You can attach external DVD writer to netbook when it requires. Confirm with techies once more as I am non techy.

Re: [AI] net book
Go for a netbook if you want portability. if you are not going to carry the computer around then you may invest in a laptop which has more processing power and storage. I have recently purchased a Samsung N210 and Samsung N140 for myself. I have shifted most of my work to the netbook. Samsung is believed to have the best keyboard among the netbooks.
