Re: [AI] query regarding indian railways ID card

[Kotian, H P]

Dear Umesha

You should carry any of the documentation, anyone which is taken as a valid 
address proof document which carries the addresses you want to show.

The nearest office should be taken as from your present address.

If they are refusing, ask them to give it in writing and if possible record the 
conversation.

Harish.

Dear friends,
I faced another problem in Bangalore railway division office. my permanent 
address is in the Hassan district which belong to mysore division. but, I am 
working in Tumkur which belong to and is very near to bangalore division. when 
I approached the office through my friend, they told that I have to get the 
card from Mysore division. in the circular of the railway board dated 
18-3-2015, there is no such condition. in the first para of the procedure, it 
is said to approach the nearest division office. but, they are refusing the 
application.
what can be done for this?
I got my concession certificate done in bangalore. if I go to Mysore, my 
certificate will be refused as per the above circular as it is got from the 
place outside the jurisdiction of Mysore division.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/science/a-game-of-tennis-tests-notions-of-blindness.html
 WATERTOWN, Mass. — Dan Guilbeault was 3 when doctors
 discovered a
 tumor called an optic glioma pressed against his optic
 nerves. He
 continued to play the sports he loved — basketball,
 baseball and
 football — until he lost most of his sight at 11.
 
 Now he is 19 and almost completely blind, and his favorite
 sport is tennis.
 
 When he first heard about tennis for the visually impaired,
 his
 reaction was “No way!” he said. “I was skeptical.”
 
 So were faculty members at the Perkins School for the Blind
 here, when
 a sighted student from nearby Newton proposed it nearly two
 years ago.
 But Perkins, known for athletic innovations like adapted
 fencing,
 decided to offer what are believed to be the first blind
 tennis
 classes in the country.
 
 Like tennis for sighted people, the game requires speedy
 court
 coverage and precise shot-making. Blind players rely on
 their ears to
 follow a foam ball filled with ball bearings that rattles
 when it
 bounces or is struck.
 
 “Your ears have become your eyes,” said Dr. Robert
 Gotlin, director of
 orthopedic and sports rehabilitation at Beth Israel Medical
 Center in
 New York City.

 Sejal Vallabh, a 17-year-old high school junior in Newton,
 encountered
 the sport during a summer internship in Tokyo and then
 proposed the
 program at Perkins. She set up a volunteer organization,
 Tennis
 Serves, which introduced the sport last year at Lighthouse
 International in New York and the California School for the
 Blind in
 Fremont.
 
 As blind tennis grows in the United States, where the Census
 Bureau
 estimates that 1.8 million people over 15 have “severe
 difficulty
 seeing,” it is testing popular notions of the limitations
 of
 blindness.
 
 “I want to show that it is possible for blind athletes to
 play
 tennis,” Ms. Vallabh said. No one believes it, she said,
 “until they
 see it for themselves.”
 
 The most important adaptation is the ball, which is larger
 and made of
 foam, wrapped around a plastic shell that holds the ball
 bearings.
 
 “It sounds like bells ringing,” said Emmanuel Ford, 10,
 who has
 cerebral palsy and is learning to hit tennis balls at
 Lighthouse.

 Other adaptations include a smaller court with a badminton
 net lowered
 to the ground, string taped along the lines and junior
 rackets with
 oversize heads. Players with some sight get two bounces,
 the
 completely blind three. Only one set is played, and an
 umpire calls
 the lines.
 
 The first sound-adapted tennis ball was designed in 1984 by
 Miyoshi
 Takei, a blind high school student in Japan. Now, about 300
 players
 compete in tournaments there; blind tennis is also played in
 China,
 South Korea, Taiwan, Britain and Russia.
 
 During matches, Mr. Takei, a 16-time national champion who
 worked as a
 massage therapist for older people, mostly hit flat,
 aggressive
 strokes, but lobbed the ball on defense to regain court
 position.
 Sometimes he lunged or dived for shots. (He died last year,
 at 42,
 after falling in front of a train.)
 
 His widow, Etsuko, who is also blind, said he saw the
 “court in his
 mind and he knew where he was standing, where the ball was
 flying and
 bouncing.” By listening, she said, “he could control the
 ball very
 well.”

coverage and precise shot-making. Blind players rely on their ears to
follow a foam ball filled with ball bearings that rattles when it
bounces or is struck.

“Your ears have become your eyes,” said Dr. Robert Gotlin, director of
orthopedic and sports rehabilitation at Beth Israel Medical Center in
New York City.

Sejal Vallabh, a 17-year-old high school junior in Newton, encountered
the sport during a summer internship in Tokyo and then proposed the
program at Perkins. She set up a volunteer organization, Tennis
Serves, which introduced the sport last year at Lighthouse
International in New York and the California School for the Blind in
Fremont.

As blind tennis grows in the United States, where the Census Bureau
estimates that 1.8 million people over 15 have “severe difficulty
seeing,” it is testing popular notions of the limitations of
blindness.

“I want to show that it is possible for blind athletes to play
tennis,” Ms. Vallabh said. No one believes it, she said, “until they
see it for themselves.”

The most important adaptation is the ball, which is larger and made of
foam, wrapped around a plastic shell that holds the ball bearings.

“It sounds like bells ringing,” said Emmanuel Ford, 10, who has
cerebral palsy and is learning to hit tennis balls at Lighthouse.

Other adaptations include a smaller court with a badminton net lowered
to the ground, string taped along the lines and junior rackets with
oversize heads. Players with some sight get two bounces, the
completely blind three. Only one set is played, and an umpire calls
the lines.

The first sound-adapted tennis ball was designed in 1984 by Miyoshi
Takei, a blind high school student in Japan. Now, about 300 players
compete in tournaments there; blind tennis is also played in China,
South Korea, Taiwan, Britain and Russia.

During matches, Mr. Takei, a 16-time national champion who worked as a
massage therapist for older people, mostly hit flat, aggressive
strokes, but lobbed the ball on defense to regain court position.
Sometimes he lunged or dived for shots. (He died last year, at 42,
after falling in front of a train.)

His widow, Etsuko, who is also blind, said he saw the “court in his
mind and he knew where he was standing, where the ball was flying and
bouncing.” By listening, she said, “he could control the ball very
well.”

An expert on orientation and mobility for the blind, William R.
Wiener, dean of graduate studies at the University of North Carolina,
Greensboro, said that sound localization “is so important when blind
people navigate the world,” and added, “Listening to the ball,
locating where it is and swinging at it probably helps you with the
sport and also with your mobility.”

Blind tennis is made possible, scientists say, by the adaptability of
the human brain — which appears to repurpose its visual area, the
occipital cortex, to process sound and touch in response to blindness.


A series of studies discovered activity in the visual cortex when
blind test subjects read Braille, and found that a blind woman could
no longer make sense of the raised dots after suffering an occipital
stroke. Another study, of sighted subjects who were blindfolded,
showed that the occipital cortex began processing tactile and auditory
information within five days.


“How it works is not a mystery,” said Melvyn A. Goodale, director of
the Brain and Mind Institute at the Univers

 Can you give an indicative list of topics on which we can write?  I
 think everyone writing on the entire PWD act might not be easy.  We
 can divide into sections like education, employment etc.  Is this in
 lines with your concept?

 Also, should it be specific to states?  I may be interested in writing
 about employment in banking which is not a state specific subject.
 Would you accommodate topics like this?

Citi Bank in past had a clickable element which Jaws was not able to

Re: [AI] Needed volunteers: “Twenty-years old and journey ahead”

[avinash shahi]

Ajay, What I conceive is to have the impact analyses of the PWD Act on
blind people in different states. When we uniformly use disabled
category it excludes many and over-represents others. We have to
accept the reality that blind, mentally-ill and the hearing impaired
people are the most marginalized among the categories recognized under
the Act. Therefore if we use popular usage disabled denoting all
categories it would not provide us real picture. Danish, excellent I
want you to write from Punjab. State-policy adopted by the states
could be analysed. And NGO representatives could also share their
experience of working in the rural and semi-urban districts. We have
found one volunteer from Tamil Nadu. I wish we will have volunteers
willing to collaborate from other states as well. I will soon contact
people working in north-eastern states to bring them on board. It will
be worth-doing exercise please pitch in. our community will be highly
benefited. We have ample months we could extract info by filing RTIS
if recquired.

 Dear All

 I’ve conceptualized an ambitious but workable plan to interrogate the
 two decades of the PWD Act 1995. It envisages a focused approach to
 evaluate the working of the Act for the blind in all 29 states in the
 country. It further envisions grassroot commentary and critical
 scrutiny produced by the writers residing in the respective states.
 Initially, all articles will appear as blogs later they will be
 reproduced in the form of booklet. The series will commence from 24
 November 2015 and would continue till 22 December 2015 historic day
 when the Act was passed in 1995). I am in touch with web-developers
 who can design our blog-website. Interested, commited and enthusiastic
 people could write if they want to investigate and contribute to this
 project which could also be leveraged for better evidence-based
 policy/lobbying/exicution with the respective state governments later.
 All submissions will undergo editorial scrutiny and suitable editing
 will be done. Editorial team will consist of blind
 researchers/activists/NGO-specialists. Note: this project is
 restricted to understanding blind people’s lives  cause disability is
 a broad terminology and one can not do justice to the aim of the
 project. The whole exercise is voluntary and working language will be
 English. however-those who want to contribute in Hindi-and other
 regional languages, their works will be translated. those interested
 could e-mail to shahi88avin...@gmail.com or call on 9717230779.
