Indian Government Sites Not Yet Fully Disabled-friendly – Now Who Wil
2009-09-11 09:43:00
The Indian Government passed the Disability Act in 1995, which among other things mandates that public information should also be provided in a disabled-friendly format to those Indian citizens who might have a need for it. With increasing proliferation of the Internet, electronic accessibility of information has become extremely crucial. In February this year, the government finally ensured that 50 of its websites shall be made disabled-friendly in order to make accessibility easy. The guidelines to ensure that a website is disabled-friendly is not a long list. Just a few important factors need to be ensured, like: Including the ‘ALT’ attribute for all images so that visitors who have problem viewing the image can easily listen to the ALT text using speech synthesizers Ability to know where the link is pointed at, without having to read the surrounding text Use of a consistent style to identify hyperlinks which is not solely based on color Use of frames to be avoided ...

Disabled Travels
2008-09-20 09:27:00
This is a guest post by Jean Rasbridge, a disabled traveller who works for a UK Power Chair company.I recently had a very pleasant stay with family who are working in elegant Qatar - I had been apprehensive about the journey itself, as well as travelling to a totally new country where I could not even say "Good Morning" ( I am ashamed to say). However I need not have worried, my fears about a non-disabled friendly trip and reception were unfounded.I travelled from Terminal 3 at Heathrow, and was escorted from the check in desk by very friendly airline staff, to a quiet waiting area, and when the flight was called was accompanied again to boarding. My travel Power Chair was put into the hold after I was ensconced in a front seat, and the journey passed smoothly. On arrival my son had arranged for an amazing service! A lift brought the chair to the door of the plane, and I was then met by a member of a Visa handling service called Al Maha, and taken to a charming area where I...

Hey, Barry, what about ‘disabled’ do you not understand?
2008-09-15 12:47:00
“1982. John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t,” says a voice-over in the ad against shots of a Rubik’s Cube, a disco ball, a massive cell phone and an old computer. “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class. After one president who’s out of the touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.” Responding to the ad, McCain’s online outreach manager Patrick Hynes shot back: “The ad is a joke. After they hyped it so heavily in The New York Times I can only assume nervous Democrats are embarrassed for the Obama campaign.” That from the left-leaning “Wired” this morning. Leaving aside the idea that Presidents don’t use such things because of security concerns,  there&r...

Figgins could be headed back to disabled list
2008-05-27 15:42:00
The Los Angeles Angels took Chone Figgins off the disabled list six days ago, but they might have to put him back on it. Figgins played one game before aggravating his right hamstring injury, and he has not played in the five games since. That missed time would count if the Angels put him back on the disabled list, so they could activate him as soon as June 6. "We're going to have to make a decision in the next couple days," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's making progress, but we're into day five now, so he'd have to make some significant progress in the next couple days."In April, the Angels led the American League in runs. In May, with their leadoff hitter out most of the month, they rank eighth. Scioscia said what was originally a hamstring strain is now "a little stiffness" in "a little different area."
