[Ai] Parenting Blog - A Ten Year Old Thinks Aloud On Making Indian Currency Accessible For The Blind.

[payal jethra via Ai]

Hi All,

Sharing a blog from a parenting website that I write for. Happy Reading!

A Ten Year Old Thinks Aloud On Making Indian Currency Accessible For The Blind.
Payal Jethra

“That was a 200 not 20 rupee note we handed to the man at the
provisional store,” says the ten year old.” As he sat sipping
chocolate milk after their return from the grocery store that Saturday
evening. “Are you sure about that, Sweetheart?” inquired his mother,
“There were two two-hundred rupee notes in my wallet this morning, I
am positive. At the grocery store I swiped my debit card and I’m
always aware of bank notes that I carry along, at least I have been
pretty sure of myself up until these newly introduced notes have made
cash transactions perplexing for me.” Said Payal as she picked up her
coffee to join her ten year old for an evening snack by the window.
The duo had shopped for groceries and stopped at a provisional store
outside the store to pick up a 10 rupee dairy milk chocolate for each
one of them. That would have amounted to 20 rupees, but Payal ended up
paying 200.
“Yes, I am pretty sure, Mom. I remember now that you mention it and I
feel like I ought have been around you while you settled the amount
with him for I just remember glancing at the note as I stepped out of
the shop to peep into some comic books at the neighbouring store. Mom,
this makes me feel aweful. We never had this challenge earlier. I’ve
always watched you handle cash comfortably.” He moved closer to give
her a hug, his eyes moist with tears.
“Mom, I want you to have 100% eye sight. Either that or I wish to do
something about the sizes of the newly introduced currency notes.”
Payal works with a reputed public sector bank in Mumbai. Her son
Nihaar has grown up “money smart” because of his visits to his
mother’s place of work which happens to be a bank branch where he has
had a good look at cheque deposit machines, cash recycle & ATM
machines and had some fun counting bundles of notes after banking
hours.
He has watched his mother plan their finances, budget and spending
plans for the month, grocery shopping and clothes and accessories.
Paying bills, school fees, quarterly society maintenance have been
transactions she carries out via accessible internet banking sites.
Digital currency still remains inaccessible though the blind can use
computers and apps using assistive technology.
 Nihaar’s mother  has always been “money wise” carefully keeping a
count of denominations in her wallet; five hundreds, hundreds,
fifties, twenties and tens, with coins of different denominations in a
separate coin pouch in a systematic manner which allows her to
independently handle cash by comparing and measuring sizes of
denomination of bank notes. She feels having to ask for assistance is
embarrassing and defines her by her disability. It’s nowhere near as
easily accessible as it is for a sighted person to differentiate
between banknotes. With the introduction of the new currency notes,
the blind face some genuine inconveniences in identifying various
currency notes in circulation including the newly introduced ones.
Nihaar has been observing how his Mom feels the size, both length and
width to identify and count notes. However, the width of all the new
notes is the same (66 MM) which compels her to identify the notes only
based upon length.
Coins too have been inaccessible for the blind for a while now. The
length of the newly introduced bank notes has been reduced drastically
making it extremely difficult for her to perceive. Variation of
minimum 10 MM in length and in width between each of the notes is
essential for the blind to be able to differentiate and identify.
the variation in width between the Rs. 200 note and the Rs. 20 note is
just 1 MM and length just 3 MM.
The bleed lines on all the relevant notes are too light to feel and
are of no help in identifying the notes. An average blind person
cannot feel the bleed lines readily and they get blurred with repeated
use. Relying on only the bleed lines is also not a practical solution
to count bundles of notes as the blind person has to feel every note
in the bundle.
Coexistence of old and new currencies makes it very confusing and
complex to count.
“Mom, I wish to understand who designs and makes new currency notes in
our country?” The little boy is eager to want his mother and the blind
community handle coins and bank notes with identifiable features.
“The Reserve Bank of India and Finance Ministry make decisions on the
introduction and designing of currency in India, Beta.” Informs his
mother.
“Maybe I could share ideas on how this issue of sizes can be fixed.
I’ve been good in the Maths lesson on Measurement. Can ATM machines be
recaliberated to accept currency notes with variying thickness for
different denominations, Mom, can notes of differing thickness be a
way for the blind to differentiate various denominations?” inquires
the eager ten-year old as mother and son discuss dimentions of the
new 100

It’s not to complicated to migrate to windows 10 from Windows 7. Happy to help

Dear All,
Greetings from the National Eyeway Helpdesk!'
Please, follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts:


1. News-
This Diwali, too, they will give light to others.
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, October 9
This Diwali again, Institute for the Blind, Sector 26, is ready with
its brand of candles and lamps, assembled by blind students.
 For the last 20 years, the institute has been selling them. “We do
not put any stall. But every year, customers have been coming to the
school. The scale has risen in the last few years,” said secretary BD
Sharma. He said, “The school is able to make a sale of Rs 2.5 lakh on
Diwali.”
 “The rate is much cheaper as compared to the market. Our wax is of
higher quality and finishing is good,” said Joint Secretary Prem
Girdhar.  The school with the help of its Class IV employees makes
candles and blind students help in packing them. In earthen lamps,
students help in inserting wick.
 Different shapes of candles are available, including those which can
float on water and are in shape of animals. Wax balls are sold which
can be fixed on gates.   The school purchases wax from the Sangrur’s
oil depot. Source:

Project Vision’s `Walk For The Blind, Shillong On Oct 12.
                SHILLONG: On account of World Sight Day, 2017, the
Project Vision, North East will organize “Walk for the Blind,
Shillong” on October 12 with the primary objective to raise awareness
on eye donation. “Over 500 people are expected to attend the walk and
50 blind people will also participate”, Bhanwar Nain Singh Didan,
President Blind Walk Shillong 2017 told reporters on Monday during a
press meet.  The rally will be flagged off from Shillong Club and the
route will be from the venue to Police Bazaar and back. The rally will
seek to allay the myths related to eye donation.    Didian added that
every community-Christian community, Rotary Club, Lions Club,
Ramakrishna Mission etc., are extending their support to the campaign.
Project Vision, an organisation that works for the blind, highlighted
that the World Health Organization (WHO) report in 2010 indicated that
India is home to the largest number of blind people which accounts to
15 million persons. The organisation raised the agenda of eye donation
so that three million blind people could get the gift of sight through
corneal transplant, which can be accomplished only through eye
donation. Project Vision is a ‘global movement’ to eliminate corneal
blindness from the world in 10 years with its goal to make eye
donation a globally accepted norm and practice, to provide affordable
eye care facilities for the rural population.  Deepa L Khonglah,
Faculty of Bansara Institute of Ophthalmic Sciences (BIOS) informed
that corneal blindness is the third leading kind of blindness in the
world. Source:

Re: [Ai] strange message from Outlook 2016 when opening links in mails

[Payal Kapoor via Ai]

i have begun using Chrome on Ajay's suggestion and find it simple
enough to want to know more.
however, i am trying to understand how can i add other accounts that i
use on Gmail? or how can i switch accounts from one to the other?
i know that it is a gmail thing but somehow seemed simpler when i did it on FF.
thanks.

Re: [Ai] need guidance to buy a accessible smart TV.

[Arjun Malhotra via Ai]

There were certain typos in my previous mails and hence replying again.
You can go for either Amazon Fire Stick or Apple TV 4. Both are
accessible. You will get Voice view on Amazon fire TV and Voiceover on
Apple TV. I have both the devices and can confidently say amazon TV
provides quality accessibility support which is closer to Apple. So
its your call now. Amazon Fire TV price is 1/4th of Apple's offering.
