Re: [AI] Request for books on astrology
Hello Naresh g, I have never tried Kundli light, but I still have found that Kundli.pro is quite accessible. All you have to do is, that, after filling in the particulars of the native [Jaatak],tab on till you reach the language combobox. Select English instead of Hindi and press f 11. If my memory is correct, now you have to tab on till you reach Basic Details. Here press g for general predictions. Mostly first page of general predictions describes only the planetary positions, whereas from page 2 onwards, you can find the general interpretations. Now press Num Pad Minus to activate the Jaws kerser, and press ctrl + Home key to reach the top of the document. Now you can go on reading with the JAWS Kurser. But all this is from a layman's point of view. We have a practising visually challenged professional astrologer in the form of Dr. Anuj Varma from Saharan Pur. I am sure he can help you more precisely. Heartiest regards. Yogesh.

[AI] Legal Implications While Starting A New Internet Radio Channel
Hello friends, inspired by some Pakistani friends, some of my Indian V I friends are also planning to start a new internet radio channel of their own. They want to run this channel on a purely non comercial basis, and hence do not plan to include any advertisements or political news in their brodcasts. They simply wish to run it in order to gain first hand experience in the field of internet brodcasting. Apparently, the main focus of their brodcasts would be Music of various types. But they want to know whether there are still any legal implications for this purpose? I mean, do they still have to take some prior permission from the government? Please clarify.Regards.Yogesh. Ps. While I am composing this mail, my JAWS has suddenly st opped working. So please excuse me for any spellin or formatting errors. Thanks.

[AI] Uploading Raag Madhuwanti
Hi all Music loving friends, As we grapple with the hot weather along with some burning issues regarding disability and assistive technology, here I come to try to refresh and relax you through some heavenly Music. thanks for your enormous response to my last uploading of some rare collections of Classical Music recordings by some Immortal Indian Musical stalwarts. This time I am uploading raag Madhuwanti in 3 different renditions; 1. by Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia on flute, 2 by Bhaarat Ratna Late Ustad Bismilla Khan on the shehnai, 3. [Especially for foreign friends]: raag Madhuwanti played on keyboard and some other electronic instruments and set to Disco beat by Charanjeet Singh. The download link is:-- http://www.sendspace.com/file/ghnb5s Dear friends, I am sending this mail to the list only in order to reach out to the maximum number of interested friends and students. But, kindly do remember to post your valuable feedbacks, queries and other related mails only to my personal I D and not to Access India. Please help curtail the traffic on the list to the maximum possible extent. Especially for the new members, please do't hit Ctrl + r in order to reply to this mail. Instead, hit enter on my following personal I D: yogesh.sharma...@gmail.com. For the serious students of Indian Classical Music and all other interested friends, here are some brief introductory notes. brief introductions: 1. Raag Madhuwanti: it is a very famous and fascinating melody of Indian Classical Music, which is best suited to be performed and listened to in the 3rd quarter of the day, [in between 1 to 4 p m]. Supposing it is being played in the C Major scale of Western Music, Raag Madhuwanti would use E Flat and F Sharp along with all other Natural Notes. The notes D and A are generally avoided in the ascending order or the Aaroha, while they are used freely in the descending order of notes [the Avroha]. 2. Flute: this is a very famous Indian Wind instrument. It is also known as one of the most ancient Indian wind instruments. It is made from a hollow piece of bamboo, with one round hole at one end for the blowing purpose, and some other round holes near the other end, for the purpose of producing different notes by covering and uncovering them with the fingers. In Hinduism, The flute is also respected for being the favorite instrument of Lord Krishna, who enchanted not only the human beings, but also the animals, birds and nature with his Divine Music. 3. Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia: Pt. Hariprasad is one of the living legends in the field of Flute playing. He is the most famous disciples of Mrs. Annapoorna Devi, the prodigal daughter of the legendry Late Ustad Allaudden Khan, who had mastery over a number of Indian Classical instruments and also Indian Classical Vocal Music. 4. Shehnai, it is one of the most difficult Indian wind instruments, and is generally associated with auspicious and joyous ceremonies in traditional Indian culture. It is usually played in group, with one artist leading the recital, and others providing him their melodious support. This group also includes one or two artists, who play the base notes on Sur Shehnai, a type of Shehnai witch is meant for the base notes only. For rhythm, the group is generally accompanied upon the Tabla and Khurdak, the traditional drums or the rhythm instruments of Indian Music. the khurdak, an instrument with the less resonant sound, is played especially with Shehnai only. 5. Ustad Bismilla Khan: This legendry artist of Shenai haled from the ancient Indian city, Varanasi or Banaras, which is respected as one of the main centers of Indian art and culture. Ustad Bismilla Khan was responsible for establishing Shehnai as a respectable instrument in the Classical Music concerts, whereas earlier it was generally played on the gate to the ceremonial grounds or the house where some auspicious ceremony like Marriage was being performed. Hope these introductoryy notes would be helpful, and not sound too long or boring. So, enjoy the Music, and also don't forget to dropme some lines of your valuable feed back. Heartiest regards.

Execute basic TV operations such as change channel, adjust volume, etc. To use TV Speak you need a computer running Windows (Windows 7, Vista or XP), a TV tuner card, and a TV antenna cable adapted for digital terrestrial television (either portable or that plugs into a TV socket). The tuner will make the connection between your computer and the TV antenna. One side of the tuner has a USB port to plug into your computer and the other side has a plug to connect to the antenna. In other words, the TV antenna cable is connected to the TV tuner, which in turn is connected to the PC via a USB port. In this way you can watch TV through your computer and you don’t actually need to use your television screen. However if you wish you can direct the audio and video output of TV Speak to your TV monitor and use a wireless keyboard to control the TV. TV Speak is a product that Code Factory has been developing in partnership with ONCE, the Spanish national association for the blind. When you install TV Speak for the first time, it will automatically work for 30 days for free. Once the demo expires, you will be asked for a license number.

[AI] About Ad Ons in Internet Explorer
Hello dear friends, hope you all are doing great! a few days back I posted a query about ad ons, but surprisingly, got no replies from any friends till now. Maybe I could not make myself clear in my previous mail. Hence this time I shall try to be more specific. Friends, mostly when we start Internet explorer or Firefox, we are generally prompted to press the space bar in order to allow installation of certain tool bars, which the computer addresses as ad ons. but on the other hand, some times, we even get a message warning us that some ad ons may not work well with screen readers. Now how can I decide which ad on would work best with Jaws, and which one is going to cause problems? Also please specify whether it is actually useful to install any add on in the first place? I am using Windows XP professional, sp 3, internet explorer 6 and JAWS 10. Hope this time you will definitely oblige with your quick and expert advice! Heartiest regards. Yogesh.

Re: [AI] [bsftb] Request for Internet Explorer Vs Problem While Downloading
Hello dear computer wizards, thank you very much for making Internet Explorer 8 available to me so easily. I have downloaded and installed it successfully. But after restarting my computer, when I started it for the first time, I got a message from Google, saying: an other programme tried to change your settings, but it was prevented from doing so by Google. On the next tab, it gave me the change option, which I did not use. I was even prompted by Internet Explorer 8 to opt for certain changes, but I pressed enter on ask me later option. But, still, when I headed for my favorite Music site, www.mp3hungama.com, firstly it took rather long time to open. Again when I pressed enter on the download link for a song, I again heard the clicking sound, and the curser stayed just where it was. I tried pressing the application key and pressing enter on save target as and open options, but again nothing happened. As you may be remembering that I was facing the same problem with Internet Explorer 6, when some friends advised me to upgrade to Explorer Version 8, as some sites have stopped supporting the earlier versions of I. E. But I am surprised how this problem traveled over even to I. E. 8. Interestingly, I E. 8 is not opening any pop up windows even when the pop up blocker is already turned off. I hope I. E 8 has no issues with the capacity of the ram. So here I am, again waiting for your expert guidance. Hence please oblige at the earliest. Regards. Yogesh.

[AI] Strange Thing On Desktop
Hi friends, very good evening to all of you! Sorry for coming up with one query after the other. But I never expected such a strange thing to happen. I am using Windows XP SP 3 with Jaws 10. I have turned off the Jaws auto start option, and always use a hot key to start JAWS. I also have N V D A installed on my system, but I use it very rarely. Apparently, I use an other hot key to start N V D A. Everything was going normal for about 3 months, until This evening when I switched on my desktop. As usual, I pressed the Jaws Hot key to start it, but, Jaws would not start after pressing the Jaws Hot Key. I pressed the hot key again, but again nothing happened. I restarted the system, and again the same thing happened. I pressed Jaws hot key about three times, each time after a gap of approximately 3 minutes, and ultimately started N V D A. At last I tried to turn of the system from the start menu, but, to muy surprise, Jaws suddenly started in 3 windows, and N V D A also started talking at once. As all the 4 voices started talking at the same time, I ultimately switched off the system, and restarted it again! This time Jaws is talking normally, but, to my surprise, the Dropbox I con has disappeared from my system tray! Although Dropbox I con is very much there on the desktop, but as I press insert + f 11 to check the status of the files I uploaded on to dropbox this morning, the system tray is showing Jaws For Windows instead of Dropbox. So, may I request my learned friends toKindly explain what is wrong with my Dropbox and how can I remedy it? Hope you will again oblige with your earliest expert guidance.

[AI] Law schools test to go disabled-friendly this year
Hi friends, Here is a piece of good news for the LAW Aspirant V I Youth, courtsey Mr. Prateek Agreval:-- Law schools test to go disabled-friendly this year prateek aggarwal prateekagarwa...@gmail.com May 02 02:15PM +0530 ^ Hi members, the following sounds like a great news for law aspirants. Perhaps it may help some of you. --- Law schools test to go disabled-friendly this year - The Times of India Mathang Seshagiri, TNN | May 2, 2011, 12.47am IST http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Law-schools-test-to-go-disabled-friendly-this-year/articleshow/8137883.cms BANGALORE: The largest-ever law school exam that decides admission to nearly a dozen national schools across India will turn disabled-friendly this summer. Additional time to crack the two-hour exam, option of bringing one's own scribes along with instruments for problem-solving and a question paper sans any visual reasoning to aid the blind are some of the key features of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) policy of candidates with disabilities to be implemented from this year. The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata which is organising the fourth edition of CLAT, will allow disabled candidates who are hearing/vision impaired to bring their own scribes or have the CLAT committee pick a scribe for them. The scribe must be one educational class junior to the candidate and must also not be someone pursuing a law degree. The scribe will also give a declaration stating that he/she will not in any way help the disabled candidate answer any question in the paper, apart from the regular duty of reading out the paper and pencilling the correct answer. Thus far, there has been no consistent CLAT policy on the issue of scribes. While some CLAT-conducting law schools permitted candidates to bring their own scribes, others did not. We, therefore, decided that we must adopt a detailed policy that would aim to balance the concerns of disabled candidates as well as to ensure a fair conduct of the CLAT examination. Also, we realised that it was important to grant disabled candidates the option of bringing their own scribes. Often times, it so happens that externally provided scribes do not work well with the disabled candidate, and this has a detrimental impact on their examination, MP Singh, CLAT 2011 convenor, told TOI. Disabled candidates taking the May 15 exam will get 40 additional minutes to complete the under-graduate entrance test and 60 minutes for the post-graduate test. The question paper itself is being given a makeover to make it friendly for the differently-abled. We've decided that we will not have any visual reasoning questions in the logical reasoning section, since this unfairly prejudices visually impaired candidates who are not able to see the visuals in the question. We've also decided to permit them to bring their own instruments for helping with sections such as maths, which might require the use of Taylor Frames, for visually impaired candidates, said Shamnad Basheer, professor at WBNUJS and part of the CLAT committee. --- 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] Fw: Slate Article: Fix Your Terrible, Insecure Passwords in Five Minutes
- Original Message - From: Jaswinder Singh To: undisclosed-recipients: Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 8:53 PM Subject: Slate Article: Fix Your Terrible, Insecure Passwords in Five Minutes an article from . Fix Your Terrible, Insecure Passwords in Five Minutes A foolproof technique to secure your computer, e-mail, and bank account. By Farhad Manjoo Posted Friday, July 24, 2009, at 7:05 AM ET It's tempting to blame the victim. In May, a twenty something French hacker broke into several Twitter employees' e-mail accounts and stole a trove of meeting notes, strategy documents, and other confidential scribbles. The hacker eventually gave the stash to TechCrunch, which has since published notes from meetings in which Twitter execs discussed their very lofty goals. (The company wants to be the first Web service to reach 1 billion users.) How'd the hacker get all this stuff? Like a lot of tech startups, Twitter runs without paper—much of the company's discussions take place in e-mail and over shared Google documents. All of these corporate secrets are kept secure with a very thin wall of protection: the employees' passwords, which the intruder managed to guess because some people at Twitter used the same passwords for many differe! nt sites. In other words, Twitter had it coming. The trouble is, so do the rest of us. Your passwords aren't very secure. Even if you think they are, they probably aren't. Do you use the same or similar passwords for several different important sites? If you don't, pat yourself on the back; if you do, you're not alone—one recent survey found that half of people online use the same password for all the sites they visit. Do you change your passwords often? Probably not; more than 90 percent don't. If one of your accounts falls to a hacker, will he find enough to get into your other accounts? For a scare, try this: Search your e-mail for some of your own passwords. You'll probably find a lot of them, either because you've e-mailed them to yourself or because some Web sites send along your password when you register or when you tell them you've forgotten it. If an attacker manages to get into your e-mai! l, he'll have an easy time accessing your bank account, your social ne tworking sites, and your fantasy baseball roster. That's exactly what happened at Twitter. (Here's my detailed explanation of how Twitter got compromised.) Everyone knows it's bad to use the same password for different sites. People do it anyway because remembering different passwords is annoying. Remembering different difficult passwords is even more annoying. Eric Thompson, the founder of AccessData, a technology forensics company that makes password-guessing software, says that most passwords follow a pattern. First, people choose a readable word as a base for the password—not necessarily something in Webster's but something that is pronounceable in English. Then, when pressed to add a numeral or symbol to make the password more secure, most people add a 1 or ! to the end of that word. Thompson's sof! tware, which uses a brute force technique that tries thousands of passwords until it guesses yours correctly, can easily suss out such common passwords. When it incorporates your computer's Web history in its algorithm—all your ramblings on Twitter, Facebook, and elsewhere—Thompson's software can come up with a list of passwords that is highly likely to include yours. (He doesn't use it for nefarious ends; AccessData usually guesses passwords under the direction of a court order, for military purposes, or when companies get locked out of their own systems—systems administrator gets hit by a bus on the way to work, Thompson says by way of example.) Security expert Bruce Schneier writes about passwords often, and he distills Thompson's findings into a few rules: Choose a password that doesn't contain a readable word. Mix upper and lower case. Use a number or symbol in the middle of the word,! not on the end. Don't just use 1 or !, and don't use symbols as repla cements for letters, such as @ for a lowercase A—password-guessing software can see through that trick. And of course, create unique passwords for your different sites. That all sounds difficult and time-consuming. It doesn't have to be. In Schneier's comment section, I found a foolproof technique to create passwords that are near-impossible to crack yet easy to remember. Even better, it'll take just five minutes of your time. Ready? Start with an original but memorable phrase. For this exercise, let's use these two sentences: I like to eat bagels at the airport and My first Cadillac was a real lemon so I bought a Toyota. The phrase can have something to do with your life or it can be a random collection of words—just make sure it's something you can remember. That's the key: Because a mnemonic is easy to

[AI] An Other Piece Of good News
Hello friends, I am pasting here a mail from an other mailing list. I always believe and maintain that we are ever closer to regaining vision lost due to retina related problems, thanks to the efforts of Doctors and Scientists all over the world. Here is another piece of good news, which I just picked up from the online version of The Hindu: Medicine Research London,, April 14, 2011 Algae genes could restore sight in blind IANS Share · print · T+ The retina is where the nerve cells convert light into electrical and chemical signals that are sent to the brain down the optic nerve. File Photo. The retina is where the nerve cells convert light into electrical and chemical signals that are sent to the brain down the optic nerve. File Photo. Blind people may regain their sight thanks to a light sensitive gene taken from algae. Chemists believe they may be able to replace damaged cells in the retina with similar ones found in algae. The technique has worked in mice and now scientists believe they can begin human trials within two years. The idea is to develop a treatment for blindness, Alan Horsager at the University of Southern California, the Telegraph reports. Algae are non-parasitic plants without roots, stems or leaves. They contain chlorophyll and vary in size from microscopic forms to massive seaweeds, living in fresh or salt water or moist places. Some serve as food source. More than a million people in Britain suffer from vision problems caused by a damaged or malfunctioning retinas. The retina is the business end of the eye, where nerve cells convert light into electrical and chemical signals that are sent to the brain down the optic nerve. Algae need to be sensitive to light so they can seek out sunlight for photosynthesis and it is the cells they use to do this that scientists hope to use to replenish damaged equivalents in the human eye. It involves injecting the gene into the retina. Early tests showed that blind mice were able to see light again after treatment and that the effect appears to be permanent. It's good on paper, and it is clear they are heading for a clinical trial with the information they are gathering, said Pete Coffey, at University College London. Regards, Yogesh.

[AI] Fw: As disasters spread, so do online scammers [Newsletter Comp Version]
Hello friends, here is a warning mail that I received from a good friend of mine. Although the topic is not directly linked with computer accessibility for the V I, yet its contents contain the informations that should be known to every indivisual, especially the V I persons. So, here it is for your information:-- - Original Message - From: Jaswinder Singh To: many-conta...@mailcatch.com Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 10:31 PM Subject: Fwd: As disasters spread, so do online scammers [Newsletter Comp Version] -- TOP STORY As disasters spread, so do online scammers By Jan Bultmann The outpouring of generosity from people all over the world following the earthquake in Japan has been accompanied by a profusion of donation scams. These scams no longer prey on the simply gullible but have moved to less obvious ruses such as malicious websites that use clickjacking and drive-by attacks. Natural disasters bring out extremes of human behavior. Workers at the devastated Japanese nuclear power plants place themselves in harm's way trying to protect other people from explosions and radiation poisoning. Military and social services staffers work days without sleep under horrifying conditions. And in response, strangers around the world ask how they can help, what they can do, what they can send. Unfortunately, predators also respond, seeking to exploit the suffering and generosity of others for personal gain. Online donation scams are not new, but they became really evident in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Most of those scams were e-mail–based phishing, also known as 419 scams. The least sophisticated claimed to be from victims; they explained complicated and peculiar circumstances leading them to write e-mails asking individuals for money. More advanced phishing scams imitated the look and feel of reputable charities' Web presences. Thanks to the increasing efficiency of spam filters, e-mails such as these reach fewer users today — and most Web users have learned to recognize and discard them quickly. Since 2005, online scams have grown in sophistication. So it should be no surprise that, in the wake of Japan's crisis, donation scams are harder to spot. Clickjacking and drive-by threats don't depend on our charitable impulses — they target our interest in the unfolding events, using such common sources as news photographs, links to YouTube videos, and information updates. Since March 11, 2011, scores of domain names have been registered — names containing terms such as Japan help, tsunami, or nuclear disaster, according to a Forbes report. Often, these URLs are similar to the Web addresses of popular sites or are based on common misspellings. These malicious sites are also heavily seeded with now-familiar search terms (Japan, tsunami, nuclear disaster, radiation, Japan help, and so on) to draw the clicks of (or clickjack) people searching for information. This practice is known as search engine optimization poisoning. A TrendMicro blog shows a search return list that reportedly includes fake sites. Sometimes the scams are relatively innocuous; scammers register these bogus Web addresses as a way to earn money through advertising or delivering traffic to online survey sites. But others are far more dangerous. Clicking malicious drive-by sites, for example, can easily result in an infected PC. Search-engine companies watch for these sites and eliminate the dangerous ones as quickly as possible. But so many have appeared in the aftermath of Japan's disaster that even Google is having difficulty keeping up with them, reports Bojan Zdrnja at Internet Storm Center. PC users can also be directed to drive-by sites through links circulated on Twitter, Facebook, and other social-networking sites as well as in discussion forums. Wall posts, IMs, and messages represent themselves as containing links to newly uncovered disaster videos that might be tsunami simulations, doctored images, and worse. As Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, wrote on the Sophos blog: Facebook users are being tricked into clicking on links which claim to be raw CNN footage of the Japanese tsunami by cold-hearted scammers — as part of a plot to earn money by driving Web traffic to take online surveys. The videos, which in the examples seen by Sophos exist on a website called spinavideo, purport to be footage of the horrifying tsunami which hit parts of Japan on Friday. Clicking the link takes users to a spoof website that looks like YouTube. Users are tricked into agreeing to 'Like' the page on Facebook, which spreads the scam even further on Facebook. But misdirection to online surveys and likejacking, as Cluley

Hi Fen, I think the better option for you would be to get the Bible recorded in DAISY Format and copy paste it on the memory card of your handset. Then you can hear it with help of the software called DAISY To Go. That way you will also be able to navigate while reading. I am sure our worthy friends would definitely be possessing Bible in DAISY Format, and would be happy to upload it for you. Best of Times. Yogesh.

Hope it is useful for you also! Warm regards. Yogesh. - Original Message - From: jaswinder singh To: singh.jaswinder...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2011 10:14 PM Subject: Fwd: Personal security baseline TOP STORY Windows Secrets personal security baseline By Jan Bultmann Frequent Internet users get mixed messages about data privacy. We worry about data miners and identity theft but put our life stories up on Facebook. Here are some basic steps to enhance your personal security. Are we confused or just careless about our privacy? On the one hand, we hear plenty of stories about the data-mining and aggregation techniques used by companies and various governmental agencies around the world, as well as by criminals seeking to use social engineering to trick people out of money or processor power. At the same time, social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn — which many people see as legitimate and benign — ask for more and more information about our past, our employment, and our interests. With almost every iteration of these sites, the Internet presses more deeply into our privacy. You have good reason to think twice before filling out every field your social-networking site presents to you. In case you forget the varieties of Internet perils out there, here are reminders of what's not in your interest when some people get their hands on your data. After that, to cheer you up a little, are 10 tips on how to protect your privacy. A flourishing black market for personal data You undoubtedly know that cybercriminals gather personal data to steal identities and money. Users can suffer damage to their personal credit and even jeopardy to their physical safety. But you might not know that most cybercriminals sell your data to other criminals. Criminal networks exchange huge databases of personal information that can be used for everything from scamming credit-card companies to creating botnets — networks of personal computers that have been compromised and are controlled remotely and secretly. Botnets can be used to launch denial-of-service attacks, for example, without the computer owners ever knowing anything is amiss. Criminals also use personal data to assemble elaborate social-engineering scams, in which they might impersonate you online to gather information from others you know or to trick your online acquaintances into clicking dangerous links that lead to spoofed websites. Most of us know such scams dupe people into downloading viruses or spyware onto their computers, but it still happens — frequently. Online information is searchable. Powerful Internet search engines and data-crunching tools make it easy for criminals to build a full profile of you, even if the information about you online is distributed over many different social networking sites or posted by many different people. It doesn't hurt to remember that any data published online is there forever. Depending on the privacy policy of the company holding the data, your formerly private information might ultimately be seen by anyone on the Internet. Personal data can get online a number of different ways. a.. You shop or do business on the Web. Any time you set up an online account, buy goods online, register for contests, take part in surveys, download free software, or simply surf the Web, you provide data to businesses, governments, and other organizations. Businesses use your personal data to verify who you are when you complete a transaction. They also record your preferences so that they can deliver personalized content or special offers. A business's retention of your personal information also allows it to offer you conveniences: you don't have to enter your shipping address again and again. b.. You exist: therefore, you have official records. Records maintained by government agencies are searchable. For example, photos of your house (and a statement of its value), your birth certificate, and copies of your signature might all be easily available. Professional associations or nonprofits might reveal your full name, workplace, and donation history. c.. You freely participate in social-networking sites. You or your friends might post enough information on social-networking sites for criminals to assemble a fairly complete picture of your life. Ten tips for data privacy Here are tips for how to protect your personal information. a..

[AI] Getting Aquainted With Indian Classical Music
Hello dear friends, since many friends on various lists want me to upload something in Hindustani Classical Music, I thought I'd better give a brief introduction to it before uploading any album. Apparently, this introduction is meant for those friends, who need to be acquainted to Indian Classical Music. Dear friends, there are 2 systems of Music in India--namely, the South Indian or Karnatak Music and the North Indian or Hindustani Music. As is obvious from the names, the Karnatak Music is popular in South Indian states, such as Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh and Chennai., whereas the Hindustani Music is prevalent in the rest of India, and even Pakistan. Although both these systems of Music follow the same basic principles, still there is quite a bit of difference between the two. Since my field is Hindustani Music, I would basically talk about that only. Friends, in Indian Music, the term Rhythm is synonical to 2 terms: 1. Lai: the continuous or definite speed of time. 2. Taal: the fixed circle which is meant to measure Lai and make it interesting. for example, if you listen to the fixed Tic Tic sound of an old fashioned clock, you may call it Lai. But you may not like to listen to it for long. But when there is a circle of say four beats, and that circle is repeated again and again, you would begin to like it. Now this circle is called Taal. 3. Matra: this is the basic unit to measure Lai. Roughly speaking, you may call it Beat. Mostly, different taals are based on different number of Matras. For example, Taal Kaharva is based on a circle of 8 Matras or beats, while Dadra has 6 beats. The most popular taal of Indian Classical Music, the Teen Taal has 16 beats. Thus, in Indian Music, the continuous flow of equal Matras or beats is called Lai, and a circle based on a particular number of beats is called talls. 4. Shruti: Shruti is a minute pitch or a microtone, which the human ear is capable of recognizing. Theoretically, there are 22 Shruties in Indian Scale of notes. 5. Swara: the term Swara refers to the Musical Notes. Basically, these notes are 7 in number. As we know, in Western Music these 7 notes are roughly known as C, D, E, F, G, A and B. Similarly, in Indian Music, they are called Shadaj, Rishabh, Gandhar, Madhyam, Pancham, Dhaivat and Nishaad. These 7 notes are better known by there shorter names or nick names, such as Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha and Ni. In Western Music, when a particular note changes its pitch slightly on to lower side, it is called Flat Note. Likewise, when it attains slightly higher pitch, it is called Sharp Note. The original pitch of a note is called Natural Note. Likewise, in Indian Music, Natural Note is called Shuddha Swara, Flat note is called Komal Swara and thee Sharp Note is called Teevra Swara. Unlike Western Music, in Indian Music the notes Sa and Pa [C and G] can never change their pitch, since they are regarded as the Basic Notes. The four notes that can attain a Komal status are Re, Ga, Dha and Ni, [D, E, A and B]. Similarly, only the note Ma [F] is allowed to attain a slightly higher pitch in order to attain Teevra Status. 6. Raag or Raga: when a group of 5 to 7 notes is governed by certain rules to make it attractive and pleasing to the ears, it is called Raga in Indian Music. In raga, notes are governed by a definite system, and you can make different Musical compositions in the same Raga following that system. These compositions would then be regarded as based on the same Raga. Following the same rules, you can improvise freely in that particular Raga. 7. Composition: Indian Musical compositions are basically divided in to 2 parts, out of wich the main part is called Sthaee, which is repeated most frequently in the performance. The second part or the stanza is called Antra. 8. Improvisation: Indian Music provides artists with utmost freedom to improvise and show their creativity. Indian artists are even allowed to make any desired changes in the traditional compositions. That is why they are not required to follow any written notation while performing. To reproduce a particular composition, they usually rely on their memory. Indian Musical Improvisation is basically divided in to the following parts: [A] Alap: the slow improvisation of the notes of a raag is called Alap. It can be either brief or detailed depending on the desire of the artist and the performing time at his disposal. [B] Behlava: Behlava means the small and spontaneous rhythmic pieces of improvisation, after which the artist comes back to the basic composition in the most artistic manner. [C] Taan or Tora: the fast rhythmic improvisations are called Tans in Vocal Music and Toras in Instrumental Music. They are generally performed in a rhythmic pattern faster than the rythm of the main composition. [D] Tihai:

[AI] Low Cost Accessible GPS Options
Hi friends,Here is an informative article regarding latest GPS systems,[the first one in a series of articles] which might interest many of you:-- Warm regards. Yogesh. Low Cost Accessible GPS Options - Part 1: Introduction written by Alena Roberts It used to be that you would have to stop and ask for directions if you got lost, but thanks to GPS systems this is no longer necessary. Unfortunately, main stream stand alone GPS devices are not accessible to the blind, and up until recently, accessible GPS options were too expensive for most blind people to purchase. With Apple's iPhone and Google's Android phones featuring out-of-the-box accessibility, there are now multiple low cost accessible GPS applications available. For the next few weeks I will cover what I think are some of the best GPS options for both of these platforms. There are three applications on the iPhone that can be used either by themselves, or together to help the blind arrive at their destination. These include Navigon, Sendero LookAround, and Skobbler. Navigon is a full GPS solution. Its features include turn by turn navigation, virtual navigation of route, POI (Point of Interest) selection for destinations, and much more. Sendero LookAround helps the user learn their current location, their nearest cross street, nearest POI's, and compass direction. This application was also designed with the blind in mind. Finally, Skobbler is a turn by turn GPS option that uses an open source map instead of maps loaded on the phone. Although this application is free, it is missing many features present in the other two applications, but could still be useful in certain situations. Although accessibility on the Android platform is not as good as the iPhone, they are making some great progress. On Android phones there are two applications that the blind can use to help them navigate. WalkyTalky gives spoken walking directions, and intersection explorer allows you to virtually navigate before venturing out. Both of these are free in the Android Market. Next week I will go into more detail about the iPhone applications. Happy travels.
[AI] [The vOICe] Seeing into the future, Second Sight Argus II $100, 000 retinal implant to go on sale in Europe
Hi friends, As we all have been praying and hoping, after reading the following article I feel that we have come at least one step closer towards the fulfillment of our combined ultimate wish! Warm regards. Yogesh. Seeing with Sound - The vOICe http://www.seeingwithsound.com/winvoice.htm Seeing into the future. Medical technology: The first commercial retinal implant is about to go on sale. It may be crude, but so were the first cochlear implants, 26 years ago. December 9, 2010. THAT it is possible to have a phone conversation with someone who is deaf shows just how far cochlear implants have come. Today?s devices, which are routinely implanted, can stimulate the auditory nerve across a broad range of frequencies. This allows users to hear and understand speech in noisy environments, without needing to lip-read, and even to hear and appreciate music in many cases. But the earliest cochlear implants could do none of this; instead they merely provided some basic sounds to assist with lip-reading. Nevertheless, when they first received clinical approval, 26 years ago, they were hailed as a medical miracle. Now retinal implants are at a similar point, as the first such device is about to be granted clinical approval in Europe and will then go on sale. The device, called the Argus II, is by no means a cure for blindness, says Robert Greenberg, the chief executive and co-founder of Second Sight, the company in Sylmar, California, that developed it. It is intended for use by people who have lost their sight as a result of retina-wasting diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, and like the earliest cochlear implants it is designed to provide only some basic sensory assistance. But despite its limitations all 30 of the people who have received the Argus II as part of clinical trials can, at the very least, now see changes in light levels and detect objects. This means that they can navigate around obstacles, find doorways, see parked or moving cars and look at someone?s head when talking to them. A handful of them can even read large print. For the researchers who have spent many years developing these devices, and for the hundreds of thousands of blind people who stand to gain from them, the approval of the Argus II will mark an important turning-point. ?The blind community have been waiting for this for decades,? says Lyndon da Cruz, a consultant retinal surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, who has already implanted seven of the devices as part of the trials. ?It?s almost unbelievable that it?s coming to market,? he says. ?Very few people would have expected that there could be an artificial retinal device on the market by 2011.? To get this approval Second Sight had to show that the benefits of the device outweighed the potential risks, says Dr Greenberg. The principles behind retinal implants are well established, he says. But it is one thing to build a prototype to demonstrate these principles and quite another creating a device that can be implanted for long-term use. There are several different ways to build a retinal implant, but all of them use the same underlying mechanism. By electrically stimulating remaining healthy nerve cells in the retina using an electrode, sensations of light can be elicited in the person?s visual field, thus mimicking the action of light-sensitive photoreceptors that were damaged by disease. The more electrodes you have, the more dots the person sees (the Argus II has 60). And so if you place enough of them in a rectangular array, and zap them according to signals fed wirelessly from a camera mounted in a pair of spectacles worn by the subject, blocky images start to take shape. A number of research groups have demonstrated this over the past couple of decades, but until now none has managed to develop a retinal-array interface that could be left safely in the body, says Mr. da Cruz. The problem is not simply that the interface might pose a risk to the patient?the device must also be robust enough to survive within the harsh environment of the body. Dr Greenberg likens it to designing a television set that can be thrown into the sea and will not only continue to work but will do so for decades to come. Second Sight has succeeded by building on several decades of research into implantable devices and other neural interfaces, such as pacemakers and cochlear implants. The Argus I, Second Sight?s first experimental prototype, actually used a signal processor originally designed for cochlear implants. (It had just 16 electrodes, was implanted in six patients and was never intended for market.) The company was founded in 1998 by Dr Greenberg and Sam Williams, an American philanthropist and engineer who suffered from retinitis pigmentosa and was frustrated by the slow pace of public research efforts. Sadly Dr Greenberg?s co-founder died in 2009, just a year short of realizing his goal of creating a commercial retinal implant. But he

[AI] Query Regarding Retina India Mail
Hello dear friends, I just forwarded a mail from Retina India regarding Jean Therapy For Age Related Macular Degeneration. Hope you find it informative. Now I have a strange problem regarding this mail. As I try to copy its contents in to M S Word and press Insert + Down Arrow to read it, my P C curser starts reading the copied matter in a strange accent. But when I use JAWS kerser to read it, then JAWS reads it in its original accent without any problem. I even tried to copy the contents of some other mails in to M S Word, and there I faced no such problem. I fail to understand as to why JAWS behaves strangely especially in case of this particular mail! I am using Windows X P Service Pack 3 and M S Office 2000 along with JAWS 10. Hope my learned and experienced friends will oblige with an early reply. Thanks in advance. Warm regards. Yogesh. e mail: yogesh.sharma...@gmail.com Mobile: 09988293833.

[AI] Fw: URGENT: Questions to the Committee
Respected Madam, a few months back, in reply to an other mail forwarded by you, I posted some suggestions of mine to be forwarded to the members of the aforesaid committee, but, although a copy of that mail of mine got through in to Access India, I got no reply regarding whether my humble suggestions reached their destination or not. Hence I am forwarding my old mail once again:-- - Original Message - From: Dr. Yogesh Sharma To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 9:05 PM Subject: Fw: URGENT: Questions to the Committee - Original Message - From: Dr. Yogesh Sharma To: bvda...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 8:14 PM Subject: URGENT: Questions to the Committee Respected Madam, reference your mail forwarded by Ms. Vaishnavi Jayakumar, I wish to present my viewpoint on the following:-- Point 10. Safe and healthy work conditions--Protection from Harassment and Redress of Grievances:-- It has been found in many instances in different states as well as in union territories that although special officers have been appointed with the designation of commissioners For Disabilities, yet mostly persons appointed to this position are generally either noncompassionate to the disabled persons whosoever approach them with their problems, or those officers are not fully aware of their powers, duties and responsibilities. In most of the cases it has been observed that these so called commissioners don't even bother to resolve the problems of the disabled in the stipulated period. Instead, they are more bothered about pleasing their seniors in order to obtain more influential positions. Hence it is recommended that a suitable and influential line of help and co-operation should be available to the disabled persons in case their grievances are not redressed at the commissioner level. Point 13. Offences and Penalties:-- Which wrongful acts would you want explicitly punished in the Act? These days, the most dreadful and hateful social crime generally committed against disabled youth is normal girls marrying working disabled boys only to desert them later and flee with all their jewelry and other valuables; and not only that, later on filing legal suits against their disabled husbands in order to grab hefty sums as lifetime maintenance. There should be a strong and vigilant law in favor of the disabled boys so as to protect them from this blatant social injustice! At least 7 years of imprisonment and a fine at least upto 5 lacks should be imposed on the defaulter wives in such cases. What are your suggestions on creative sanctions other than fine and imprisonment which should be used to obtain conformity with the law? In my humble opinion, the defaulters should be sentenced to work in some good organizations striving for the welfare of the disabled. Still, if the culprits are found not complying with their duty sincerely, then the soul punishment should be rigorous imprisonment. Hope the above mentioned views will find a sutable place in your drafts, and later on, the act itself. Regards. Yogesh Sharma.

Hi friends, I would feel highly obliged if you will find some time to satisfy some curiosities of mine regarding the i pot and its utility. My queries are are as under: 1. Is there any utility of i pot other than listening to music or daisy books? 2. If listening to Music and DAISY books is the only purpose served by i pot, then what is the difference between an i pot and a DAISY book player like ANGEL? 3. Which is a better alternative out of a Multi media mobile, a DAISY player an i pot and why? I am asking these questions since my own personal knowledge about DAISY player and i pot is quite elementary. Hence I await an early reply from all learned friends.

[AI] Fw: [blindCity] Driverless Cars: The Future of
Hi friends, Although write ups on this subject have been posted to the list earlier as well, still this one seems interesting to me, and hope you would like it also. - Original Message - From: TS Negi To: sayeveryth...@yahoogroups.co.in ; blindc...@yahoogroups.com ; gklch...@gmail.com ; kapil0...@gmail.com ; vikram.ra...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 5:55 PM Subject: [blindCity] Driverless Cars: The Future of Driverless Cars: The Future of Independence How often have you heard people over sixty say that they can no longer drive after dark? How many accidents have been caused by aging drivers with failing vision or people becoming distracted behind the wheel? With a rapidly aging population and dwindling budgets for public transportation, viable transportation solutions for people with disabilities will be in great demand and will become a necessity. With new technological developments, driverless cars may be the solution to the problem. By utilizing GPS, the cars would be able to map out routes and special sensors would detect when objects are in front or back of the car. Each car would have accessibility in mind for aging and disabled drivers. Braille, large print, or talking software would be included so that any driver could successfully operate the vehicle. For security purposes, cars could require a personal code or password, which would allow only certain drivers to operate the car. The car's computer would ask the driver for a destination and the rest could be taken care of by speed-sensing radar and unique software. If there was oncoming traffic, the computer would know to slow down so that accidents would no longer occur. Just imagine the sense of freedom getting in to your own car and it driving you to your desired destination. Our aging population would be spared yearly eye exams to prove they can still drive. The worry of being totally dependent on family members or para-transit would disappear. It would break down barriers; no longer would we use the excuse in applying for jobs, of I cannot get there. The NFB, Naas, Google, and car-makers are seriously working to develop a driverless car in the U.S. and across the globe. Moreover, everyone, disabled or not, would benefit from these cars. The issue of distracted driving will become irrelevant. Drivers will become passengers as they sit back listening to music, conducting business, or surfing the internet while being transported to their destination. In 2070 and beyond, these cars will be common and accidents will be rare, because all cars will sense all objects behind and in front of them. They will be everywhere, and as common computers are now in 2010. This invention will give everyone a now-undreamed-of sense of independence. What an exciting future for our children and grand children. I do hope to see the start of this new revolution in my lifetime.

After approximately every ten minutes, on pressing Insert + t, Jaws only says title is. and I have to press Alt + tab to move the focus back to the download field. But, after the download is 20 to 30 percent complete, Jaws suddenly says 85 percent, 98 percent, 99 percent, 100 percent in quick succession, and the download stops somewhere in between. Kindly explain as to why it happens and how can I remedy it? I am using Windows xp service pack 3 and Jaws 10. Awaiting an early reply from all learned friends, Yours, Yogesh.

In both these instances, after my complete medical check up, the civil surgeon clearly wrote in my fitness certificate, the candidate has been found fully fit except his visual impairment, which is in no way a hindrance in the due performance of his duties as a lecturer.

Google tests self-driving car All, I was just very excited by what this might mean for blind and partially sighted people! Google tests self-driving car The internet giant is extending its reach with research into a car that drives itself. By Bill Berkrot, Reuters, 11 Oct 2010 at 08:28 Google, the world's largest internet search engine, has been tinkering with engines of another sort and come up with some futuristic results - a car that drives itself. Google, in a posting on its official blog, said it had developed the technology and been busy testing a fully automated car that would take the controls out of the hands of distracted drivers, leaving them free to text, eat or apply make-up to their heart's content. Our goal is to help prevent traffic accidents, free up people's time and reduce carbon emissions by fundamentally changing car use, Google said on its blog. The automated cars use video cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to see other traffic, as well as detailed maps to navigate the road ahead. The futuristic autos have already been tested on the heavily trafficked California roadways - including highways, bridges and busy city streets. They have even navigated San Franciso's famed Lombard Street, a tourist favourite known as the nation's most dramatically winding address. All in all, our self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles, Google said. All of the test runs have had a driver behind the wheel just in case. The driver can take over as easily as one disengages cruise control, Google said, adding test drives had also included a trained software operator in the passenger seat to monitor the software. Google said it believed its self-driving cars might one day cut by half the more than one million traffic fatalities suffered each year. For those ready to shell out hard-earned cash for one of the first self driving autos, Google said the project is very much in the experimental stage providing only a glimpse of what transportation might look like in the future. It remains to be seen whether Google investors, who have been concerned by the company's spending, will applaud its automotive aspirations. The company missed Wall Street's earnings estimates in the second quarter and is due to report third quarter results later this we [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: a..

Subject: {Retina India Connect} Google provides the visually-impaired with
two new sets of Android Eyes
hi mates,
posting here after quite a lot of days.
hope the following should interest you, it looks promising to me.
Google provides the visually-impaired with two new sets of Android Eyes
---
Google has released two new Android applications designed to help the
blind and visually impaired with walking directions, pairing Google
Maps with GPS
navigation technology. The applications are
WalkyTalky
(from Google's Eyes-Free Project) and
Intersection Explorer.
Here's how Google describes them:
WalkyTalky
WalkyTalky is an Android application that speaks the address of nearby
locations as you pass them. It also provides more direct access to the
walking directions
component of Google Maps. With WalkyTalky installed, you can:
• Launch WalkyTalky to specify a destination,
• Either specify the destination by address, or pick from favorites or
recently visited locations,
• And in addition to spoken walking directions,
• Hear street addresses as you walk by.
These spoken updates, in conjunction with the walking directions that
are spoken by Google Maps help users navigate the physical world as
efficiently as
they navigate the Internet.
Intersection Explorer
Using this application, users can explore any neighborhood on Google
Maps via touch.
• Intersection Explorer starts off at the user's current location.
• One can change the start position by entering an address, to do
this, press menu and click on new location.
• Once the map has loaded, touching the screen speaks the streets at
the nearest intersection.
• Moving one's finger along a compass direction, and then tracing a
circle speaks each street at that intersection along with the
associated compass direction.
• Presence of streets is cued by a slight vibration as one traces the
circle.
• Lifting up the finger when on a street moves in that direction to
the next intersection, speaks the distance moved, and finally speaks
the newly arrived-at
intersection.
Intersection Explorer sounds like a way to preview the landscape,
before you actually get there.
Both apps are free, and are in the Android Market now.
cheers!
prateek agarwal.

Re: [AI] There is noone who is listening to classical music? or
Dear Neelima and other friends, I am deeply touched by Neelima's thought provoking mail about the immense value and everlasting significance of Indian Classical Music.[sorry for reading this mail today only]. I even read Mr. Pradeep Banekar's informative tributary mails about Late Pundit Putraj Gavai, who, inspite of being visually challenged and having a flood of obstacles in his tedious path, not only went to gain perfection and world wide acclaim for his immortal Music, but even paved the way for hundreds of visually challenged curious aspirants to learn and perfect this Divine Art under his own guidance and also to follow the path shown by their Grate Guru! [I am sure all of you have read my late reply to Mr. Pradeep Banekar's Mails also]. As regards the so called DJ designed music of today,it is definitely a pass time and stands nowhere when compared to our own Heavenly Music, which, right from the Vedic Times till today, has been successful in blessing its lovers with Param Aananda; and not only that, even helping them to connect their souls with the all mighty [The Nirakaar Par Brahmma]. It is a real pity that we Indians learn to value and respect our own culture and heritage only after the Westerners start to recognize and follow it first! Otherwise we always take pleasure in making crude imitations of Western culture and posing ourselves to be ultra modern. Maybe most of you would be amused to know that A. R. Rehmaan's Oscar Winning composition, Jai Ho [from the movie Slum Dog Millionaire], which has actually been copied from the much revered Western composer, Mozart's Symphony 40, is quite similar to our very own Raag Bhairvi, a melody which is being sung and played in Indian Classical Music for centuries. So, Neelima, on behalf of all my friends in Access India, I assure you that although there are a lot of Indian Music lovers on the list, but I fail to understand why they always prefer to remain silent about it. Once again I express my sincerest thanks to my friend Pradeep Banakar for enlightening the list about the immortal contributions of Pundit Puttraj Gavai not only for the Music World in general, but also for the V I community in particular.

Re: [AI] Pandit Puttaraj Gavai the leading light of music passed Away
Although I and my younger sister have read this mail quite late, yet our hearts go all out to pay a solemn tribute to Pandit Puttaraj Gavai, a historical legend of modern time. It is a grate loss to the Music world in general, and also a disgrace to media as well as our limited knowledge that we have come to know of such a divine and never-tiring scholar and reformer so late! May his soul rest in heaven and his grate endeavors be carried forth with all the sincerity and dedication by his successors! Immortal personalities like Pandit Gavai are a colossal example for most of us, since they teach us to be recognized not by our disability, but by our capabilities and our sincerity towards our aims and objectives in life. His immense knowledge as a scholar as well as his immense capabilities as a performer shall always make us bow our heads in reverence to this super human being of modern age! Last but not the least, our sincere thanks to our friend, Mr. Pradeep Banekar for enlightening us about the greatness of this noble soul! Yogesh and Nimita Sharma.

[AI] Fw: Guidance Required For Uploading Files
Hi friends, I think this mail did not get through in to Access India. So I am posting it again:-- - Original Message - From: Dr. Yogesh Sharma To: accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 11:41 PM Subject: [AI] Guidance Required For Uploading Files Hello dear friends, Some time back I uploaded a folder of approximately 680 M B in volume containing some Musical collections. I sent the concerned link to so many Music-loving friends. But some of our friends are not able to download it since they are using G P R S connection and are not able to access any computer having JAWS. Now they want me to upload the collection in smaller capsules. Kindly clarify whether it would be helpful to them if I divide the same folder in to smaller parts and upload them on to Dropbox again? if not, then how can I help them? Thanks and regards. sincerely yours, Yogesh.

Friends, our college is organizing a very special function on this day, for which I need the Hindi non-film song, Asatya Ke Andheron Se Hame Gyaan Ke Ujaalon Ki Ore Lae Chalo.

Re: [AI] Problem with downloading files from DropBox
Dear Govind, Right now I am downloading your first book,; Angels And Demons. It is working fine. Ofcourse it did not work when I clicked on the link in your mail itself, but it worked fine when I copied the link from your mail and pasted it in the address bar of Internet Explorer. Thank you very much for the links. Here I think I must specify that initially I was using Internet Explorer 6, but it upgraded itself automatically from net to Version 8. Regards.

Re: [AI] help needed arjjently to my n72
Dear Timy, I also have the same problem in my Nokia 3230 handset. According to some of my techy friends, it usually happens when the phone memory of your phone is overburdened. According to some people, your handset can be started with the help of a software called Flash. But that process is risky and it can also result in making the handset totally dead. Generally this problem does not get resolved without formatting your handset. But in that process all the data that you have stored in your mobile gets deleted. If you have taken the backup on to your memory card, it is very fine. Otherwise I am afraid you have to lose your data. To format your handset, do the following:-- 1. Take out the battery, sim card and memory card from your phone. 2. now Insert the battery only. 3. now press the star key and the green key with your right hand and the number 3 key with your left hand. 4. While pressing all these keys, press the power key with your thumb. 5. Your set will start and Nokia will be displayed on your screen. Don't release any key. Keep pressing all these four keys until your screen shows the word formatting. Ofcourse you will have to take sighted assistance in this process. 6. After formatting is displayed, release all the keys. wait until Your screen turns blue gradually. 7. After the formatting is complete, your screen will show Insert sim card. That means the formatting is complete. 8. Now pull out the battery once again, insert your sim card, memory card and the battery. 9. Switch on the mobile. It will start normally. Set the date and time. 10. press the menu key and scroll down to the Talks folder. 11. Here press the joy stick to select it. It should start speaking again and start reading the license agreement. Don't bother. Just press the options key and select manual registration. Now scroll down once and enter the serial key of Talks. 12. Press Okay and it should say :talks has been installed and enabled successfully. If there is some problem, feel free to contact me on the details given at the end of this mail. All the best.

Re: [AI] question on how to retreve data from a crashed hard disk
Dear Austin, There can be many interpretations of the hard disk getting crashed. For example: 1. there can be too many bad sectors in the hard disk, which render it unworthy of use. 2. The small diskettes inside the hard disk have been damaged, or their movement is hampered. 3. Windows doesn't start, and hence you can't know as too what is the condition of the data that it contains. 4. Window can not be re-installed. 5. The partitioning of the hard disk is lost and it doesn't show any particular drive or drives. 6. You are hearing some sounds from it. So, first tell us what symptoms you are witnessing. Only than can the remedies be suggested. Regards. Yogesh.

Re: [AI] info needed for blue tooth
Dear Prof. Jassal, I think you must be wanting to transfer your files from the computer on to the memory card of your mobile rather than on to the phone memory, as the phone memory has a rather limited space. the best way to transfer files from computer on to mobile is through memory card reader. You can get a decent memory card reader at a cost of merely Rs. 50 to 70 from any shop dealing in simple electronics or mobile accessories. All you have to do is to pull out your memory card from the handset and plug it in to the appropriate slot available in the card reader. The card reader has to be plugged in to the U S B port of your system. If everything falls in perfect place, you immediately hear a message from JAWS stating various options available as to what you want to do with the card. You can just proceed on as you like. Hope it helps. Regards, Yours, Yogesh Sharma. e mail: yogesh.sharma...@gmail.com Mobile: 09988293833. Residence landline: 01612433833.

Re: [AI] mobile with talking software
Hi Jignesh, I too second Dr. Padmanabham's view regarding E 63, since it is decidedly better as compared to C 5 with regard to talks support. Although I have not used it personally, but I am pasting here the mail buy Mr. K. Nageshwarya, who is using it. However, I would advise you to examine it personally before purchasing it. Regards, Yogesh. I've been using Nokia E63 for the last 7 months quite successfully. Those who have typing and/or computer knowledge can master it quickly. Chr key, function key, edit key, delete key, ctrl key are some of the useful keys in the handset. Besides, built-in accessibility features such as Voice Aide and say caller's name are also worth noting. There're one touch keys for emailing, reading new messages, calendar, contacts, etc. I make good use of the dictionary. But there're some problems with the arrow keys. [From: K.

[AI] Difference Between IPhone, Smart Phone, 3 G S and 4 g Phones, Apple Phone and Windows Mobile
Dear learned friends, Although we have been reading a lot about the modern high-tech mobile handsets, yet I would feel obliged if you will please satisfy my following queries about the above mentioned types of latest mobile handsets:-- 1. how do the windows mobile, 3 G and 3 G S phones, IPhones and Smart Phones differ from one an other? I mean is it only the brand name or some extra features which differentiate them? 2. Are all these touch screen phones? if yes, what is the position of their screen reader support? are all of them screen reader friendly? 3. Which one is the best out of all these high-tech mobiles and why? 4. Are all of them available in India? if yes, what is their approximate price range? 5. How far are their advanced features supported by Indian service providers? 6. Given the present scenario, what can be the specific reasons for a V I person to switch over from a normal mobile to these advanced handsets? A detailed and point by point reply would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sincerely yours, Yogesh Sharma. e mail: yogesh.sharma...@gmail.com Mobile: 09988293833.

Re: [AI] Pls Advise - Case of Shalini Sethi from Delhi
Dear friends, I fully agree with Akhil that it is not only Shalini's problem, but it can happen to anyone of us at any time in any form! so this matter can not be ignored or avoided by simply remaining silent over it! firstly, I would advise Shalini to collect some documentary proof of her efficiency as a bank employee. It can be in any form--may be some letters of gratitude or recommendations from some of her regular clients in bank, because maybe her opponents have some documents [Although false] against her. As suggested by Subramani and Akhil, it can be very effective to publicize the injustice done in Shalini's case including the callousness on the part of Commissioner for Disabilities. Contacting some TV news channels and appearing in interviews through them would definitely help a lot. Giving written representations to local politicians can definitely help, since the M L A.s or M.P.s can definitely give the culprits a nice doze of jolts and force them to behave themselves. Lastly, resorting to court for justice also can not be ruled out. Since Vaishnavi has presented full documentary details of the case, I would request our friends from the Legal Fraternity also to give their valuable comments and suggestions, regardless of whichever part of the country they are from.

Re: [AI] Naming aCD
Dear Jeevraj, Regarding naming a CD through Nero, what happens in my case is that when I type a different name for a CD instead of My Disk, and try tabbing down to the burn button, I find that Back Button is highlighted instead of Burn Button. To correct that, I have to cancel the whole process and repeat it again without renaming the CD. Only then can I reach the burn button through tab. Is there any remedy for that?
