Re: [AI] Sign of the times
Yes Shiv, it will be quite a challenge but I guess that would be the same if a hearing and speech impaired person visited Dining in the Dark. I would love for someone in this group who has learnt sign language and has interacted independently with the hearing and speech impaired to share their experiences- challenges and ease.

Staying on for main course? Tell the steward you want the guinea fowl inside out by making a 'T' with your index fingers, and then the number 8. If that's exactly what Rohit Patil ends up bringing to your table 20 minutes later, without you having uttered a word, it's because the restaurant's service staff of 27, all hearing and speech impaired, have been training to have their service down to pat for the last 14 weeks. Owned by Anuj Shah and Prashant Issar, the 80-seater offers a pan-Indian menu in a fine-dining setup where a massive wall pays homage to traditional cooking techniques with framed brass ladles and ancient scrapers. Inside the kitchen, dessert chef Mahesh Chinde carries his disability lightly on his shoulders as he puts together a portion of sitaphal panna cotta. The idea to keep sign language as the mainstay of service at their first establishment (the duo insists it's one of 21 they plan to roll out in India, and possibly abroad) came to Issar when he came across Signs Restaurant staffed by deaf waiters in Toronto's Yonge and Wellesley area. Issar, whose 20-yearlong of hospitality experience, including an association with London's Masala Zone and Michelin-starred Amaya as GM, says he realised that the hearing-and-speech impaired not only make for focused talent with little to distract them, they almost always are competent non-verbal communicators. He insists they have been hired for their ability, not disabilities. We wished to present Indian food creatively while helping develop employable skills, he says. All picked from Chembur's Rochiram T Thadani School for Hearing Handicapped and the National Society for Equal Opportunities for the Handicapped (NASEOH), the staff has been trained by Dr Reddy's Foundation and Clyde Castellino, MM's head of training. For this assignment, Castellino had to learn Indian Sign Language from scratch. Shah considers it a valuable investment, arguing that hiring the disabled is not part of the firm's CSR; they make up their core resource. And so, animated faces, dancing eyes and flying fingers are an everyday thing at MM. Issar's arrival is indicated by air-drawing a tattoo on the forearm; Shah, by his spiked hair; Castellino, by an earring, and 21-yearold hostess, Baljeet Kaur, whose family of five is speech-and-hearing impaired too, by her curls. Not just the staff, the eatery also encourages guests to indulge in gestures. Their imaginative menu carries simple 2-step sketches of signs next to corresponding dishes that customers can follow. A simple gesture glossary also helps indicate nuances of taste, including salt and spice. It gets even more interesting when choosing meats. The fingers must flutter if you crave fish or mimic a hen's beak for a portion of chicken. For the more officious meetings, the manager is happy to present you with a printed set menu, and no, it's not uncouth to point-and-order here.

[AI] 11-Year-Old Visually Challenged Boy Becomes Tamil Channel News Anchor
11-Year-Old Visually Challenged Boy Becomes Tamil Channel News Anchor Close on the heels of introducing a transgender as a new anchor, city-headquartered Tamil channel Lotus News today presented a visually challenged boy as a news reader, claiming it was the first in the world. Eleven-year-old Sriramanujam, born blind at birth, read the special news live with the help of Braille for 22 minutes, while his anxious teary-eyed parents watched. The news he read included the follow up of the Nepal earthquake and the Mahinda Rajapaksa trial. Channel Chairman, GKS Selvakumar told PTI that the main purpose of introducing the visually handicapped boy was to promote and create awareness on eye donation among the public, So that such talented people get their vision back and achieve their goals. At present he has been tasked with reading special newseekly and after some time, Sriramanujam would become a permanent daily news reader, he said. Sriramanujam said being blind, he wanted to achieve something in life and chose the TV medium, so that many people could see him reading the news. A fifth standard student of Government School at Uliyampalayam on the outskirts of the city, Sriramanujam, hailing from Palani, said he went through these news items six times before going live. I was scared in the first two minutes but then it was business and I read it fluently, he said. Asked what his ambition was, he said he wants to become a Collector.

Re: [AI] NVDA better again
hi, Let us be clear. 1. NVDA is a screen reader is by VI person for VI person. 2. Jaws is a commercial product. Hence, NVDA is like a food cooked in kitchen by the mum. It may be not so tasty or salty in some cases. But one should not complain the cook mum, instead try to assist her. Jaws is a like a food of a restaurant. If so not tasty, one must complain because he/she has to pay for it. If cracked jaws is used, that is a type of theft. One should not compare the stolen food of a restaurant and the cooked at home. No One should understand that contribute means only involvement in the development By pointing the weakness, asking new features, etc. any VI person can contribute nvdA. Some Difference between nvda and jaws is understandable. Each item has its own uniqueness. You feel a difference in shirt and t-shirt or in a coat and a sweeter. However, their functionality is the same. Please do not compare in terms of this key stroke or that. Visualize the performance, functionality and users' friendliness. These are the key points of evaluation.

Re: [AI] NVDA better again
Let us not dispute over which application is better. Everybody has a choice and we should respect it. If one wishes to work with NVDA it is very good. And if one wishes to continue with Jaws, there is no harm. It is the matter of priorities and preferences. Anything which comes free, depends upon the volunteers who develop it. So we cannot fix things in NVDA as quickly as in Jaws. Jaws has a cost involved into it. Those, who can bare with the cost, or can get the alternative crack versions, would continue with it. No doubt, it has many functionalities which NVDA is yet to develop. But for those, who cannot spend money and also are against cracks, would adopt NVDA, as it has immense possibilities in the years to come.

It's incredibly accurate. Does it handle crooked pages too? Is it cross platform and device agnostic? Is it free? I use a variety of free online OCR tools like newocr.com. Or upload to Google Docs and use its inbuilt OCR tech. But between the pagewise pasting, cursory checking and tables, I sometimes think it would be faster to just type the whole thing! I wish we could work out a system to coordinate efforts so as to prevent duplication. Any ideas?

[AI] Fwd: Memorial meeting of Masudur Rahman Baidya
Dear all, Forwarding an email which is self explanatory - hope some of you who are in Kolkata and surroundings can attend the condolence meeting. Those who are are not aware of Masudur's achievements, can read the news copied below (Source PTI) the forwarded mail. With regards Shampa Sengupta Fwd : Dear friends, As you are aware Masudur Rahaman Baidya, who being a double amputee made Bengal and India proud by crossing the English Channel in 1997, died at young age of 46 on 26th May 2015. It was a privilege for us to have him with us as Vice-President of our organisation. A memorial meeting is organised to pay tribute to him at Pratibandhi Village,147 Barakhola, Mukundapur, Kolkata - 700 099 on Saturday 2nd May, at 4.30 p.m. Shri Somenath Chatterjee, former Speaker, Lok Sabha our Founder President, will be present along with several other eminent personalities in this meeting. We request you to join us to this memorial meeting. Thanking you, Sailen Chowdhury President Paschimbanga Rajya Pratibandhi Sammilani Kolkata: India swimmer http://zeenews.india.com/tags/india-swimmer.html Masudur Rahman Baidya, the only man with amputated legs to cross the English Channel in 1997, died this morning after a heart attack, according to family sources. The 46-year-old was not keeping well for a couple of days. He was suffering from vomiting and loose motion this morning as his family in Topsia rushed him to a nearby hospital. He had a major heart attack and doctors put him in ventilator. Doctors tried their best but he passed away within one hour, his sister Monira Rahman told PTI. Masudur is survived by his mother, wife, and two daughters aged six years and three years. A double amputee below the knee, who had conquered the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar in 2001 and the Palk Strait in July 2010, was very popular and Indian cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar was one of his admirers. The Indian icon had visited him in December last year while inaugurating Rabindra Swimming Pool and Anushilan Kendra at Lalkuti in Rajarhat. Saluting Masudur's feats, Tendulkar had said: They are the real heroes and their life is like an inspiration to all of us and he was seen inquiring about Baidya's achievements of being the only man with amputated legs to cross the English Channel and Strait of Gibraltar. Masudur's story is more reel-like as he showed amazing dedication and perseverance to pursue swimming after being run over by a goods train at an age of nine. The accident meant his both legs had to be amputated and he spent one and half years in different hospitals and the boy from Ballavpur village of North 24 Parganas amazed everybody with his strong determination and grit. His body would bend downward from below the waist in the water but he did not give up till he could swim. It is absolutely possible for persons with physical disabilities to do things better than normal people. But you have to be dedicated to your cause, he had said.

Re: [AI] NVDA better again
No, we don't critize JAWS. We just favour NVDA. We are not concerned with what JAWS does or does not. We are just happy that NVDA does all these with asking for any money.

NEW DELHI: Now a person with disability or any other person will be able to
upload pictures and status of accessibility of buildings and public spaces
via an app on the portal to be created by the ministry of social justice
and empowerment.
The ministry is creating the dedicated portal for the disabled where they
can directly forward their grievances for action.
The Centre's ambitious Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan)
will start from seven states - Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Assam,
Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Haryana- from this year envisaging a nation-wide
awareness campaign towards universal accessibility for all citizens
including persons with disabilities.
According to senior officials of the ministry, it has created a dedicated
program management unit, steering committee and other sub-committees in the
ministry with representation of professionals and experts to create media
strategy and media planning, conduct awareness workshops for sensitization
of all key stake holders as identified and creation and dissemination of
educational booklets for spreading the awareness. The next stage is to sign
MoU with various ministries and state government agencies for their role
and responsibilities for the campaign. This nationwide flagship campaign is
aimed at achieving universal accessibility for Persons with Disabilities
(PwDs).
According to 2011 census over 2.2% of the population is disabled, while the
erstwhile Planning Commission estimated that 5% of the population of India
is disabled. According to WHO 8% of the Indian population is disabled.
The meeting had representatives from national institutes (visual, hearing
and physically handicapped) and office of chief commissioner for persons
with disability. State government officials and representatives from
ministries like labour, social welfare, health, sports and youth affairs,
urban development, civil aviation, rural development and ASI, Delhi Metro
and CPWD, were also present.
In line with Nothing about us, without us, the steering committee had
representation from disability sector which includes Svayam, Samarthyam,
Enabling Unit of the University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi
University and National Association for the Blind giving critical inputs.
While the plan is to achieve a barrier free environment for the PwDs in
next five years, the initial impetus is on capacity building and awareness
campaign.

Re: [AI] Reg: Can VI become Telecom Engineer
Hi venkatesan, I have colleagues who are telecom engineers. Most of them spend time on a terminal prompt configuring devices. Yes, a blind person can do this easily. As for education, it should be possible given the right accommodations. I cannot comment further on that aspect. Today, your best bet is to get a job with one of the telecom equipment providers such as Cisco, Nokia, NSN etc. The problem is growth. Yes, you are a telecom engineer but what after that? There are a few operators here with loads of engineers. The same applies to the OEM(s). A lot of telecom equipment is rapidly becoming IP based so a strong knowledge of networking fundamentals is essential. Again, this is not a problem for a blind person. Have you considered interning at a telecom Original equipment manufacturer? If you can do this, it should give you a better idea of what is involved.

Re: [AI] Guns Licence!
Interesting query. Would be keen to hear experiences. As far as I know, in Delhi, the procedure includes filling up an application form which has to be submitted with affidavit medical certificate by a doctor seeking following information: Affidavit - about date of birth, educational qualification, annual income, statement that you are medically fit to handle weapon, Skills to handle weapon, nominee details, history of any criminal case or other legal cases if any, availability of suitable arrangements for keeping the fire arms in safe custody and to avoid access of children to the weapons and why do you need the weapon. Medical Certificate has - height, weight, age, eyesight, BP and deformity- particularly in hands and a general statement that the applicant is in good mental physical health and is free from any physical deformity. I see as per this procedure, the persons with blindness get stuck at two places - the medical certificate where eye sight is asked and the certificate from doctor free from any physical deformity. The form otherwise doesn't seek information about blindness except that you have skills to handle the weapon. Any experiences? On 1 May 2015 at 13:19, P.
