Re: [AI] Help requested to make Opera accessible
Hello, Sorry for the delayed response. Got your point. I could visualize that this software may not be accessible by default. I believe, it's developed by Oracle. I'm posting your question to a global accessibility mailing list called "WebAIM" will copy you on it.

Re: [AI] Lets debate: Blind schools tieing with Restaurants: Charity on the fry spooks special schools
Absolutely. Unfortunately, people think people with disabilities are just oor and that's the reason anyone who wishes to donate food, choose disability organization as one of the options. Because this is how the models were created. In the past and even now, organizations do display "Donate" - this automatically means of charity. Instead, we should move to a model like "Partner" with us or something like social investment. On the other hand, those organizations who encourage public to donate food to their inmaptes, I'm unsure if they really care about quality of food and do they have good medical support in place.

[AI] Lets debate: Blind schools tieing with Restaurants: Charity on the fry spooks special schools
Very authentic reporting by the Hindustan Times. All mentioned in the report is sacred truth. Lets face it. Can Radio Udaan do a show on charity and disability in India? it would be interesting to have discussion over the issue. Lets not run away from the harsh realities where governments fail and people in the society take on the responsibility to feed millions. http://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-newspaper/charity-on-the-fry-spooks-special-schools/story-Rf8XshvfGOL4UyYr3GoZcO.html NEW DELHI: Charity feasts go up every festival season in a blind rush to earn good karma. But the good luck buffet was never easy on the stomach of the feasters. Indigestion: Neha Kumari, resident of an andh vidyalaya or school for the blind in Lajpat Nagar, has this single word to explain the after-effect. “Having eaten eight samosas since morning, I now have acidity. If you are doing a story for the newspaper please write they shouldn’t bring samosas.” The same plea was heard at residential schools for blind children. “People bring us food, especially during shraads, Navratras and Diwali. But they get the same food, mostly fried,” says Anil Chauhan, who works with a hostel for blind girls in Sant Nagar. But healthy karma is close at hand. Many residential schools for blind children have tied up with neighbourhood restaurants, where anybody planning to donate a meal to them can go and choose a package. Depending on the eatery, people can treat 10 people for about Rs 1,500, or pick an unlimited thali at Rs 900 a plate at a nice restaurant. They can even order a la carte, after discussing the menu with those they plan to treat. “They can pick a deal with a restaurant and pay for whatever number of people they want to feed, according to their budget. And we decide what we want to eat,” says Rajiv Kumar, a blind Delhi University graduate who is on many donors’ speed dial. Kumar earns his bread from a small dhaba he runs with two sighted friends near a school for the blind. “While I am looking for a job, I started this dhaba. Now, I directly bring the donors and visually impaired people here for lunch or dinner,” he says. Restaurants too are happy with the arrangement as it guarantees pre-booked business. “We need to be informed at least a day in advance about how many tables have to be booked, for how many people, and the menu,” says Mahender Singh, who runs a small eatery close to Sewa Kutir in Outram Lines. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] Fwd: [SayEverything] 25 Common Internet Scams to Avoid
The computer revolution, like all revolutions, has brought as much bad as it has good, but it's here to stay. Therefore, as painful as it may be, it's necessary to wise up to the fact that many nefarious people are using the internet to con you. So here are 25 of the most common internet scams, designed to fool you into handing over your money or private details. Fortunately, simply being aware of these scams, and the modus operandi of these modern criminals, is enough to fortify and protect yourself from them. 1. The Nigerian conThis is a very common scam. You receive an email saying a rich Nigerian nobleman has died, or perhaps a foreigner with no heirs has died here, and all you need to do is help the emailer by letting them move the money to your account for safe keeping. For this you will be handsomely rewarded, they say. At some point the emailer will ask you for money, for bank fees, or something like that. Don't reply to any email that promises you money.2. The natural disaster scamSome scammers take advantage of high profile disasters they have seen on the news. They will often set up a fake website, or email you with a request for a charitable donation to the cause, pulling on your heartstrings. Always check to see if the charity is real. Don't take their word for it.3. The 'your friends were robbed' scamFrequently people have received messages from friends' email addresses saying they have been robbed. The friend asks for money because they are all alone in a strange country with nothing. The email account has been hacked by malware, though. If you send any money it won't be going to your friend. Ask your friend to call you so you can hear their voice.4. The 'please click on this greeting card' scamDuring holiday season some scammers post fake greeting cards all over the internet, but not with a spirit of good will. If you click on the link it will tell you to update your media player. This update is actually a virus. Don't accept software updates from emails.5. The Craigslist scamA common scam used on popular website Craigslist involves a buyer offering you triple the price of the item you put up for sale. They send you a cheque and ask you to use it to cover the delivery costs on your end. Unfortunately after you send the item, the cheque bounces and you are left with nothing.6. You have been pre-approved - Click here for your credit card!The word pre-approved should send alarm bells ringing. But if not, you need to know that this scam will ask you to pay an annual fee upfront. Then you will never hear from the credit card company again. 7. An email ransomSo much information about many of us is available online, particularly through social media. Therefore someone with a cold heart can use this information to write you a ransom email, claiming your relative has been kidnapped, and you will only see them again if you pay up. This unfortunately does happen, but almost always, it is a barefaced lie. You should call your relative to make sure they are fine, to put your mind at ease. 8. Buy gold (and silver)These people are often told that gold and silver make the best investment. So, if a company you have never heard of contacts you saying this, beware. They will ask for a deposit by credit card and a wire transfer for the purchase. Often, elderly people are taken in by this wicked scam. Only make investments via reputable companies and talk to an accountant if possible. 9. Take our surveyA lot of surveys on the internet are genuine marketing tools. Some, however, are designed in order to steal your internet passwords, bank details and internet history. Watch out for this. If you don't want to take a survey, try to close the window on your browser. 10. The scammer who loves youMany men and women have been taken in by exotic strangers' professions of love, and poverty. If these adorable new friends start asking for money they probably are not for real. Always exercise caution when making friendships online.11. The 'fake festival' scamA lot of young people have been taken in by the promise of tickets to a unique festival. The tickets get paid for, but the event does not exist. Do some research before you attend a festival. Does anybody else know anything about it? How did it go last year?12. Hacked Facebook accounts of people you trustJust like emails, Facebook accounts can be hacked. So you may receive a message from someone you know requesting money or something like that. Always call the person on the telephone - not via the Facebook account - to verify the request. 13. Fake bank SMS messageThis is known as smishing, when a fake text message will appear in your inbox, purporting to be from your bank, they may claim you are required to enter your details. If you do, some criminal has just got them. Do not respond to a message from a bank. Call the number on the back of your bank card and sp

[AI] Daily Eyeway Alerts
Dear All: Greetings from theNational Eyeway Helpdesk Please, follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- Blind persons cannot identify currency notes : NAB tells Bombay High Court. The Bombay High Court on Tuesday asked Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to file reply within four weeks in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) highlighting the difficulty faced by blind persons in identifying currency notes and coins. A division bench headed by Chief Justice Manjula Chellur, while hearing a petition filed by National Association for the Blind (NAB), asked the central bank to submit its response within a month and allowed the petitioner to file a rejoinder within two weeks of RBI filing its reply. Joaquim Rapose, secretary of NAB, filed the PIL through lawyer Uday Warunjikar seeking directions to RBI to include features in coins and currency notes so the blind could identify them easily.

[AI] How love blossomed: ‘We’re making beautiful memories together’: A love story
Abha Khetarpal Maurya is the President of Cross the Hurdles, a counsellor for people with disabilities and an award-winning disability rights activist. She was one of the four protagonists on the National Award winning documentary Accsex, in which she spoke candidly about living as a woman with a locomotor disability. http://blog.sexualityanddisability.org/2016/10/making-beautiful-memories-together-love-story/ Recently, Abha celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary. In a conversation with Sexuality and Disability, Abha shared the story of her relationship with her now-husband, and spoke about the barriers that continue to stop people with disabilities from freely pursuing romantic and intimate relationships. How did you meet your husband? Our story is ultimately about love…love that knows complete acceptance and complete surrender, that promises to grow old together, that does not hesitate to compromise, that is not ashamed of deformities, that does not judge. I met my husband on a social networking site four years ago. Gradually we became friends. We used to talk for hours via chat or on the phone, and eventually began to like each other. I think what he liked the most about me was my honesty, my inner strength and independence. It was his simplicity that attracted me towards him: he did not even know how to flirt! We started meeting in person, and my family also liked him. Being a disability rights activist and a speaker, I had to attend conferences and workshops, and he began to take me to these events. He was the one who proposed via email that the two of us should be in a relationship. I still remember, it was on the morning of the 1st of January in 2013 that I received his email. To my surprise, he was afraid that I might turn down the proposal. As far as my feelings are concerned, I really can’t express them in words. Despite obstacles, we kept our love and mutual respect alive and managed to navigate our relationship for three years. Since we had been friends first, it was easier for both of us to understand each other. Our emotional bond grew stronger with time. A year ago, we decided to settle down as husband and wife. This wasn’t easy for us because of expectations from our families and society at large. Some said this was a sacrifice on his part. Others doubted him. Those who believed in karma credited my good deeds. (Perhaps they were the same people who thought of my disability as a result of bad karma from a past life.) Everyone was awestruck by the fact that I had a non-disabled, single, good-looking man as my husband! For me, ours is an ‘inter-ability alliance’. Like any other couple, we fight, and have good and bad times, but we are committed to being with each other for the rest of our lives. We laugh together and spend time together for hours, but we also give each other space. With our love, our passion, our intimacy, and the way we look at each other, we’re making beautiful memories together. Have your families been supportive of your decision to be together? We were really good friends before we got into a romantic relationship. My parents were alright with us being friends. I must confess that I never disclosed to them that we were in love, as I knew they would suddenly get apprehensive about the whole thing. When we decided to get married, my parents were happy because they already knew him, and they trusted that he didn’t have any issues with my disability. Unfortunately, I still don’t have the blessing of his family, as they do not want their son with have a wife with a disability. I don’t blame them for this, but I am hopeful that they will accept me at some point in my life. What’s it been like to go out together? Before we got married, we never dated – or I should say we never could date – in the conventional sense of the term. Just the thought of being together, even for a few hours, was enough. Before we went out, we would Google wheelchair-accessible places in Delhi – from public parks, to malls, to restaurants. This gave me the chance to do some sightseeing around Delhi and go to its accessible markets. In our country, privacy is unavailable to persons with disabilities. When I went to public places with him, people assumed that he was my brother, my cousin, or at the most my friend. How can a girl in a wheelchair have a boyfriend? We are objects of curiosity, and are subjected to all kinds of staring and gazing. When we are out on a date, all our moves are scrutinised, since we are not considered to be sexual beings. The worst challenge was to see the embarrassment in my parents’ eyes. They were frightened of being asked questions about why their daughter was going out with a ‘stranger’. The car was the only place we could hold hands. My parents had made it clear to me that I had to be home before dark – not because they didn’t have confidence in me, but because they were worried about my safety. Before you two met, had you and your family ever t

Zamir Dhale, a young deaf and blind boy, was trying to feel the vibrations on his throat as he spoke. Dhale’s inability to communicate led Mehta to speak to Fernando Botelho, a visually-impaired software developer from Brazil. “We decided to try using Morse code in SMS,” says Mehta, president of Bidirectional Access Promotion Society (Bapsi), a non-governmental organization (NGO). Bapsi was established in 2009 by Mehta and his partner Vickram Crishna in New Delhi. Bapsi’s aim was to increase public awareness on the potential of telecommunications, broadcasting and Internet as well as to enable maximum access at the lowest costs. Bapsi supports the “information poorest”, people who have limited access to information because of their disability and information is not presented in a user-friendly way. For example, the Morse code generally replaces letters with long and short sound or light signals. But, for children like Dhale, who have multiple disadvantages, it would have to include the sense of touch. The team at Bapsi started working on the Vibration Series in 2012. With the help of Anmol Anand, an intern at Bapsi, they created applications that would help deaf-blind people communicate, using vibration as a medium, on their phones. Of these, PocketSMS (an SMS app that uses vibrations as in Morse code to read text), Narangi (a slate for deaf and blind children, where once the sketcher traces his or her drawing, it vibrates) have already helped improve lives. Bapsi is a winner in the inclusion & empowerment category of the mBillionth Award South Asia 2016, organized by the Digital Empowerment Foundation for the Vibration Series project. Mehta, an Indian Institute of Technology alumnus, is a software writer, teacher, disability activist and human rights activist, while Crishna is a technologist, human rights and personal privacy protection activist. Bapsi has been able to attract some institutional support—$20,000 from the International Development Research Centre for Bapsi’s SKID project and a grant worth $21,000 from the Information Society Innovation Fund for the Vibration Series. Mehta explains that Bapsi is not looking at fund-raising right now. “Technology moves so fast. In 14 months, the project might not even be relevant,” he says. The other challenge lay in the financial aspect of the target audience, or those who suffer from more than one disability, such as deaf-mute, blind-mute etc. Mehta found out that a severely disabled person in the US, on an average, spends $20,000-25,000 a year on technology—beyond what most families can afford in India. It is probably the reason why Mehta and Crishna, through many Right to Information (RTI) petitions, could not find a single deaf-blind person in the education system in India, in spite of half-a-million deaf-blind people in the country. “When we started with the project, we wanted to understand things such as the demographics, where are they, and how educated are the parents,” says Mehta. The growing popularity of smartphones has changed a lot of things for disabled people. Earlier, a disabled child would be conscious of taking a text-to-speech device out to a public place. “But now, it is not a stigma to be carrying access technology anymore,” he says. Bapsi’s applications are free to download from the Google Play Store. “Our distribution is worldwide, but we don’t know who our clients are,” says Mehta, who is soon going to start teaching open source software at Sharda University and hopes to take the project forward with its help. The other challenge lies in the fact that parents want to send their special needs children to regular schools. Bapsi’s role increases from just designing the software required to teaching the caregiver how to use the software. The NGO has been working on developing technology that would allow a normal school teacher to teach a class of disabled persons. Bapsi is looking at developing technology that is much cheaper—around $500-1,000 for the entire class and will approach the government once there is a prototype. Mint has a strategic partnership with Digital Empowerment Foundation, which hosts the Manthan and mBillionth awards. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
