One of his friends was traveling to UK via Dubai. Unfortunately he was carrying a packet of Khas Khas which is a commonly used spice in some Indian curries and sweets. Khas Khas is also known as poppy seed which can be sprouted to grow narcotics (afeem etc.). This innocent person did not know that recently the laws in UAE and other Gulf countries have been revised and carrying Khas Khas is punishable with minimum 20 years of imprisonment or even worse with death penalty. Currently, the person is in a jail in Dubai for the last two weeks. His friends are frantically trying hard for his release but are finding that this has become a very very serious case. Lawyers are asking huge fees amounting to AED 100,000 even to appear in the court to plead for his innocence. Please forward this email to all you know specially in India. They should know the seriousness of this matter and should never ever carry even minutest quantities of the following items when traveling to Gulf countries: 1. Khas Khas whether raw, roasted or cooked. 2. Paan 3. Beetle nut (supari and its products, e.g. Paan Parag etc.) The penalties are very severe and it could destroy the life of an innocent person. * -- -- Click for exclusive coverage on the New Bajaj Pulsar 220 the fastest Indian bikehttp://www.zigwheels.com/Features/Bajaj-Pulsar-220-DTSi-Special-Coverage/Pulsar_20090623-1-1 __._,_.___ Reply to senderhttp://in.mc1373.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=chanchat_...@yahoo.co.insubject=A+Very+Serious+Warning...+Awareness!!!| Reply to grouphttp://in.mc1373.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=58...@yahoogroups.comsubject=A+Very+Serious+Warning...+Awareness!!!| Reply via web posthttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/58NDA/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxdHU5OXU0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MDIzNjUEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDc3NjI0BG1zZ0lkAzIwMDA1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTI4MzQyODU2OA--?act=replymessageNum=20005| Start a New Topichttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/58NDA/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlaWQzajhjBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MDIzNjUEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDc3NjI0BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTI4MzQyODU2OA-- Messages in this topichttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/58NDA/message/20005;_ylc=X3oDMTM2Ymhkc3JnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MDIzNjUEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDc3NjI0BG1zZ0lkAzIwMDA1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTI4MzQyODU2OAR0cGNJZAMyMDAwNQ--( 1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Grouphttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/58NDA;_ylc=X3oDMTJlcDBxbXViBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI0MDIzNjUEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDc3NjI0BHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTI4MzQyODU2Nw-- MARKETPLACE Get great advice about dogs and cats.

I am fine, thank you sir, The actual problem is that to where from get Hindi fonts? And the second thing is that I wish Lekha make read the scanned Hindi documents and as per the discussion, there is no OCR which recognizes Hindi characters. And besides, I think making changes in the option mentioned by you in control panel, enables us to type and then read Hindi contents through the programmes such as SAFA. Isn’t it?

Re: [AI] formula for prime numbers
I don't think there is any universally accepted mathematical formula for prime numbers. Many mathematicians tried and failed, because their formula didn't work with all the prime numbers. But it is very easy to generate prime numbers by computers. It is difficult to decide by any formula whether a large number is prime or not. So, I advice you to take the help of computers in case of large numbers.

nothing for me here working perfectly fine: how much of R.A.M they are using? as per my knowledge 2 G.B is required to run the O.S so a RAM of above 3 or 4 G.B is recommended. usually this problem occurs when memory that can be utilized is less. using on the dell note book win 7 64 bit O.S studio with Core i 3 processor and 4 G.B of RAM DDR2 without any problem. further solutions could be disable arrow feature which kills lot of resources it is simple and easy. set a classic theme of windows. try disabling gazettes that are running unnecessarily. disable unwanted processes from MSCONFIG. reduce the programs running in start up. disable your anti virus firewall to know whether it is blocking JFW.exe files if so set a ruling in your firewall to unblock it note: for unblocking a program refer to your anti virus manual. defrag your hard drive to improve system performance and jaws support.

Re: [AI] Examinations
Dear Rajesh bhai, Kanchan and others, I haven't tried to put my point across on Age limitation of Scribe against any suggestion or thought but I wanted to raise my own suggestion pertaining to eligibility criteria of Scribe. Following are some more points to be suggested from my end. 1. If the Visually Impaired candidate appearing in the exam like Music, the Writer should be from same stream. In Jan 2010, one of my friends in Delhi appeared in the exam conducted by Kendriya Vidyalay Sangathan for the post of Music teacher for Primary level. he was provided with the Writer who was studding in 9th standard and having no knowledge of Music. As a result, the child was not able to understand what the candidate is dictating him. It has happened since writing of Music has some special symbols, notations and so on. Secondly, the Candidate had to taken two exam in the same day and the Scribe was much tired seating and writing two exams one by another. By sharing this incidence, I just want to convey that such problems will always arrive if a Child of 9th Class writes an exam of higher level for the longer hours. The exam was indeed for the primary level teacher but we all know that the syllabus of such kind of examinations will not be as simple or easy as class 5th examination. hence, the Scribe should be only one standard junior to the standard of the Examinee. No matters whether Exam is being conducted for the primary, TGT, PGT or UGC level. According to me, my friend would have got the Scribe of Graduation level since he was already Post Graduate. 2. Some time the Examination Centre provide us the Writer whose writing skills are not that good. this is also not acceptable to me. If I am seating for the exam, I am not suppose to tell him the spelling of each word, or symbols and other writing manners in the exam. In this way, my entire time will waste in dictating him the spelling and all. At least the Scribe should have the genuine knowledge and idea to write an exam. Someone very rightly said that if the Centre is ready to provide us the Scribe, the Candidate should be allowed to meet his or her Scribe at least 24 ours before the exam taking place. I would say it even before 48 hours. so if the Candidate is not satisfied at the comfort level with his Scribe, he can request the Authority to change the Scribe. I know another lady who was appearing in the NET Exam. The Scribe was arranged by UGC only and again he was not found up to the mark. The Scribe had no idea about how to write that paper and his entire concentration was in talking about Scribe Fee to be given by UGC. he again and again used to complain about the lesser amount to be given from the Centre. The Examinee tried to make her Scribe understand to just to focus on writing the Exam but the Scribe was constantly trying to show his strain and tiredness saying that the Money is given to me is not sufficient. at the end of the Exam, when the Candidate asked the Scribe whether any Question is left, he said: No madam, nothing is left. You do not be worried. But after the Exam, the Candidate was shocked to know that her Scribe has left a Question of 40 Marks on Sociology! What I mean to say that we are talking about the qualification of Scribe, I am unhappy to observe this pathetic condition of Scribes writing the exams for the VI people. I am sorry to say but a Visually Impaired Candidate cannot afford to lose anything just because of silliness of his Scribe. if this is the case, you never know if I am telling my Writer to Write Delhi, and he writes Mumbai instead. so, above example also compel us to have doubts on the loyalty and honesty of the Scribe. I therefore, request you all to think about all these aspects while drafting the norms. regards, Amit Bhatt - Original Message - From: Asudani, Rajesh rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Examinations Dear Amit Nobody, to my knowledge, has tried to include age limit or so for scribes in suggestions given here.

[AI] Discrimination against blind and other disables in admission of B.Ed courses.
Dear Access Indian friends, I take this opportunity to bring to your notice one more example of state sponsored discrimination against PWD in implementation of theory of equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation. I also wish to have your comments and suggestions to initiate the appropriate action. Actually one month back, on the behalf of NFB, Karnataka I filed a RTI application to all the B. Ed colleges of the state for seeking the correct informations about status of reservation of seats for blind and other disables in B. Ed courses. In response to these applications what I have been informed according to that the persons with more than 75% disability are not allowed to seek admission in B. Ed courses in Karnataka. One of the colleges has informed me that they don't give the admission to blind in B. Ed courses because they have no facilities to teach them. Looking forward for you expertise comments and suggestions on the matter. With regards, Gautam Agarwal President, National Federation of the Blind Karnataka Branch Bangalore.

Re: [AI] Discrimination against blind and other disables in admission of B.Ed courses.
No such discrimination exist in Kerala for admission. But recently the government is discouraging the appoinment of the blind teachers saying that the teaching method has been changed and the blind would find it difficult to follow the new method.

Re: [AI] Examinations
Best way is to vehemently resist imposition of scribes and find and take one's own scribes. NGOs may pitch in if aspirants are not able to find on their own But, authorities imposing scribes in the name of helping the blind is not acceptable to me. Love marriage is always better than arranged, even if it fails, merely because choice was my own, and spouse was not thrust upon by somebody -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amit Bhatt Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 3:35 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Examinations Dear Rajesh bhai, Kanchan and others, I haven't tried to put my point across on Age limitation of Scribe against any suggestion or thought but I wanted to raise my own suggestion pertaining to eligibility criteria of Scribe. Following are some more points to be suggested from my end. 1. If the Visually Impaired candidate appearing in the exam like Music, the Writer should be from same stream. In Jan 2010, one of my friends in Delhi appeared in the exam conducted by Kendriya Vidyalay Sangathan for the post of Music teacher for Primary level. he was provided with the Writer who was studding in 9th standard and having no knowledge of Music. As a result, the child was not able to understand what the candidate is dictating him. It has happened since writing of Music has some special symbols, notations and so on. Secondly, the Candidate had to taken two exam in the same day and the Scribe was much tired seating and writing two exams one by another. By sharing this incidence, I just want to convey that such problems will always arrive if a Child of 9th Class writes an exam of higher level for the longer hours. The exam was indeed for the primary level teacher but we all know that the syllabus of such kind of examinations will not be as simple or easy as class 5th examination. hence, the Scribe should be only one standard junior to the standard of the Examinee. No matters whether Exam is being conducted for the primary, TGT, PGT or UGC level. According to me, my friend would have got the Scribe of Graduation level since he was already Post Graduate. 2. Some time the Examination Centre provide us the Writer whose writing skills are not that good. this is also not acceptable to me. If I am seating for the exam, I am not suppose to tell him the spelling of each word, or symbols and other writing manners in the exam. In this way, my entire time will waste in dictating him the spelling and all. At least the Scribe should have the genuine knowledge and idea to write an exam. Someone very rightly said that if the Centre is ready to provide us the Scribe, the Candidate should be allowed to meet his or her Scribe at least 24 ours before the exam taking place. I would say it even before 48 hours. so if the Candidate is not satisfied at the comfort level with his Scribe, he can request the Authority to change the Scribe. I know another lady who was appearing in the NET Exam. The Scribe was arranged by UGC only and again he was not found up to the mark. The Scribe had no idea about how to write that paper and his entire concentration was in talking about Scribe Fee to be given by UGC. he again and again used to complain about the lesser amount to be given from the Centre. The Examinee tried to make her Scribe understand to just to focus on writing the Exam but the Scribe was constantly trying to show his strain and tiredness saying that the Money is given to me is not sufficient. at the end of the Exam, when the Candidate asked the Scribe whether any Question is left, he said: No madam, nothing is left. You do not be worried. But after the Exam, the Candidate was shocked to know that her Scribe has left a Question of 40 Marks on Sociology! What I mean to say that we are talking about the qualification of Scribe, I am unhappy to observe this pathetic condition of Scribes writing the exams for the VI people. I am sorry to say but a Visually Impaired Candidate cannot afford to lose anything just because of silliness of his Scribe. if this is the case, you never know if I am telling my Writer to Write Delhi, and he writes Mumbai instead. so, above example also compel us to have doubts on the loyalty and honesty of the Scribe. I therefore, request you all to think about all these aspects while drafting the norms. regards, Amit Bhatt - Original Message - From: Asudani, Rajesh rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Examinations Dear Amit Nobody, to my knowledge, has tried to include age limit or so for scribes in suggestions given here.

Re: [AI] Examinations
Dear all, the problem of a scribe is common to all VI people who are student or appearing for one or other exam (either for job etc.) I know one person, who is a graduate from very reputed college in Delhi and speaks very fluent, impressive, correct and intelligent English. but, when he is told to type a paper, he even don't know the spelling of that and other so simple words. . this was because he studied from audio material and with the help of readers and got high colours with the help of a intelligent scribe. This draws very bad image for VI person as it shows VI persons got pass in high colours due to the efficiency of good scribe ( although opposite cases are also there). I say, why we depend on good or bad writer? why we depend on his/her (writer) understanding or knowledge of spellings? When we use JAWS or Talks to access machines or informations by our own without any scribe, then, why we need a scribe to evaluate our capability and academic knowledge? We should have a simple and single law to use a computer (desktop/laptop) to appear any exam and, diagram and figure questions should be replaced with equally weighted theory questions. one practical difficulty appears in my mind that how examiner will respond to the computer typed answer sheets because it is clear from the answer sheet that this is of a VI candidate ( he could be too liberal or too rigid). bye Sandeep G Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Examinations
hello madam, my views are as follows: first of all to reduce dependability of vi candidates on scribes for appearing in exams, where ever possible use of assistive technology must be laid amphysis. for eg., few management exams are now conducted on line. as these are computer based exams, it is very practical to make use of jaws or other screen readers. such exams also overcome the hinderence of bias by examiner towards Vi candidates either too libral or too harsh as pointed by one of our friend. these technological advancements must be accomodated. secondly, There should not be any stringint rules to be complied with while arranging for a writer. in place of it, invigilator in charge should be very dedicated towards his/her duty because many times i came across people who take a very good writer and they themselves dont do anything other than sitting and in place the entire paper is solved by the scribe. such practises are dubious raising serious questions on the capability of entire vi community. people tends to develop a mallaicious tendency towards us. most of the time invigilators are not found on the duty or sitting there and engaging themselves in some other chores. they should be very alert and see that upto what extent scribe is assisting the candidate. is candidate herself is answering questions or they are ansered by writer? this practice also act as a partiality against other vi candidates. writer should be always from the same field or must be assosiated with the subject concerning the examination for which a vi candidate is appearing. writer must be in no case be arranged by the body conducting exams. this must entirely lie in the domain of vi candidate appearing for exam. questions of pictorial presentations must in every case be replaced by theoritical questions. in many examinations there is no such provision like in management exams. these exams have complex data to be interpreted. as i am aiming at CAT, FMS, XAT, SNAP etc. inclusion of screen readers will be a very cozy step in this direction. hope my opinions will add to this bettle against present dogmas. regards swasti Mathur Sandeep Gautam wrote: Dear all, the problem of a scribe is common to all VI people who are student or appearing for one or other exam (either for job etc.) I know one person, who is a graduate from very reputed college in Delhi and speaks very fluent, impressive, correct and intelligent English. but, when he is told to type a paper, he even don't know the spelling of that and other so simple words. . this was because he studied from audio material and with the help of readers and got high colours with the help of a intelligent scribe.

Re: [AI] Examinations
hello! my observations here: 1. if writer must belong to the same field, i am a bank employee, on my promotion exams, should i possess my colleague to write my papers? 2. what about those blind candidates, who don't know computers. we always discuss about highprofile exams like cat or other. what about that blind person, who passed only 12th standard and appearing on the exams like shiksha karmee or shiksha mitra. where he is trying to get a fixed salary job of rs.7500/-. in such exams, some centres are given far of places from the urban areas. where, there is no electricity. 3. some of sighted people also take notes and copy their answers in exams. like swasti observed about writers regarding blind candidates. 4. who will negotiate the matter with the authority? the NGOs and organisations for the blind have no consensus at all. some of them support special schools, but, some of them are forcing government to send the blind students to the so called integrated education system. the difference is same regarding Braille teaching and writers. you can read the entire matter reported on jigyasa published by AICB in July-august 2010 addition. 5. what is the business of NIVH? even they can not print and deliver their own publication regularly. the employees and authorities of NIVH are enjoying the money of government. to sum up, i would like to say that it should make employed mandatory that a blind person, will possess scribe to appear examinations, whether it is offline, online or written on hardcopy. if blind person is a student, then a writer should be one standard lower then the blind student, but, he or she does not belong to the same faculty. if a blind person appearing on competitive exams, then writer's qualification should be minimum 12th standard. but, there should be no criteria of percentage. - Original Message - From: Swasti Mathur swastimat...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Examinations hello madam, my views are as follows: first of all to reduce dependability of vi candidates on scribes for appearing in exams, where ever possible use of assistive technology must be laid amphysis. for eg., few management exams are now conducted on line. as these are computer based exams, it is very practical to make use of jaws or other screen readers. such exams also overcome the hinderence of bias by examiner towards Vi candidates either too libral or too harsh as pointed by one of our friend. these technological advancements must be accomodated. secondly, There should not be any stringint rules to be complied with while arranging for a writer. in place of it, invigilator in charge should be very dedicated towards his/her duty because many times i came across people who take a very good writer and they themselves dont do anything other than sitting and in place the entire paper is solved by the scribe. such practises are dubious raising serious questions on the capability of entire vi community. people tends to develop a mallaicious tendency towards us. most of the time invigilators are not found on the duty or sitting there and engaging themselves in some other chores. they should be very alert and see that upto what extent scribe is assisting the candidate. is candidate herself is answering questions or they are ansered by writer? this practice also act as a partiality against other vi candidates. writer should be always from the same field or must be assosiated with the subject concerning the examination for which a vi candidate is appearing. writer must be in no case be arranged by the body conducting exams. this must entirely lie in the domain of vi candidate appearing for exam. questions of pictorial presentations must in every case be replaced by theoritical questions. in many examinations there is no such provision like in management exams. these exams have complex data to be interpreted. as i am aiming at CAT, FMS, XAT, SNAP etc. inclusion of screen readers will be a very cozy step in this direction. hope my opinions will add to this bettle against present dogmas. regards swasti Mathur Sandeep Gautam wrote: Dear all, the problem of a scribe is common to all VI people who are student or appearing for one or other exam (either for job etc.) I know one person, who is a graduate from very reputed college in Delhi and speaks very fluent, impressive, correct and intelligent English. but, when he is told to type a paper, he even don't know the spelling of that and other so simple words. . this was because he studied from audio material and with the help of readers and got high colours with the help of a intelligent scribe.

Re: [AI] Examinations
Well, now computers should be taught right from the school. When there's something is available, our students must learn and adopt. Even for sighted childre, computers are taught right from 1st std. Why not for blind students when it gives more independance? Sadly, most of the NGOs themselves do not aware about the advancement of technology. Of course a student should learn Braille to learn spellings and enjoy reading.

This draws very bad image for VI person as it shows VI persons got pass in high colours due to the efficiency of good scribe ( although opposite cases are also there). I say, why we depend on good or bad writer? why we depend on his/her (writer) understanding or knowledge of spellings? When we use JAWS or Talks to access machines or informations by our own without any scribe, then, why we need a scribe to evaluate our capability and academic knowledge? We should have a simple and single law to use a computer (desktop/laptop) to appear any exam and, diagram and figure questions should be replaced with equally weighted theory questions. one practical difficulty appears in my mind that how examiner will respond to the computer typed answer sheets because it is clear from the answer sheet that this is of a VI candidate ( he could be too liberal or too rigid). bye Sandeep G Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with
