LUCKNOW: A visually challenged news-reader in an electronic channel. One with hearing impairment in a newsroom or a boardroom...
Even
those blessed with the highest degree of optimism, will find it tough to conjure up a scenario which could become a reality within next three years. The dream project of Mayawati government -- a university for the disabled -- slated to take off in July 2009, hopes to open a whole new world to the marginalised section by providing them with the perfect professional launching pad.

The courses offered include graduation, post-graduation, diploma or doctorate in humanities, music, computer, science, information technology, vocational training, science and technology, commerce, management and mass communication, to the disabled.
The segment, as per the charter, shall form 50% of the minimum strength in an academic session, though the number can be as high as the demand. The brochure guarantees a disabled-friendly campus with specialised facilities. While other supportive aids -- wheel-chair, crutches, tricycle, hearing aids, walking sticks, even fabricated limps will also be on the house for candidates.

According to official estimates, 2% of the total population in the state is handicapped. This number works out to be 35 lakh, says deputy director in the department of handicapped welfare, SK Shrivastava. The reserved quota for disabled in the Dr Shakuntala Mishra UP Handicapped University (DSMUPHU) has beneficiaries from four categories of disabilities -- orthopaedic, visual, hearing and mental disabilities, he said. The university, he said, with its unique features is expecting a big draw from not only Indians but students from neighbouring countries as well.

Guidelines issued to the UP Rajkiya Nirman Nigam, the body entrusted with the task of constructing the university and hostels in over 71 acres on Mahona road, are most specific. The entire constructed space will be barrier free with handicapped friendly features like ramps, special lifts with audio and visual signals for each floor, special toilets with doors wide enough for a tricycle to pass, lower latches and sinks, and corridors having a running length for parallel rods for support. Even hostels, apart from four hostels exclusively for the physically challenged, have been designed in a similar manner to enable the physically challenged freely visit and interact with their normal counterparts, the officer said.

The first lesson we want for handicapped students here is adaptability and assimilation with the normal segment. This explains why the university provides for admission of normal students as well, even though the first priority is disabled candidates, said Shrivastava.

The state government proposes to rope in experts from National Institute for Orthopaedics Handicapped, Kolkata, National Institute for Mentally Handicapped, Hyderabad, National Institute for Visually Handicapped, Dehradun and National Institute for Hearing Handicapped, Mumbai for coordination, cooperation and expert advice, Shrivastava said. In fact, the university could also have faculty drawn from these institutes, he hinted. This apart, in times to come DSMUPHU also proposes to set up its own Braille press on Mahona road to cater to the visually challenged students, he added.

Once again, my PLN (personal learning network) has alerted me to something VERY interesting. (Thanks, @AngelaMaeirs!) A google search wiki.

Imagine if you could perform a search, arrange the results according to the way YOU want them, and even leave yourself notes about the sites you've found. You can even remove sites from the list. There's more, too. Check out that blog post above and watch that demo video.

Very nice!!

The power is within YOU its you who can change. The moment when you are clear about it, circumstances get eased. Because at this moment the confusing inside you does not. Try to find time for the 'self' talk talk talk talk talk be clear, stop getting carried away with fluttery talks. If these talks move you from within then you are not happy from within. Because you are not stable! You are always on the move changing yourself. Get grounded realize yourself and your potential. Be brave and move ahead.

The power is within YOU and you can make the difference.

For love,
Anand

Замечаю за собой цикличность работоспособности и мотивации-
то землю носом рою, по 10-12 часов работаю, то нападает лень и потеря концентрации, и тогда я тусуюсь у компьютера без толку (для работы)

интересно, чтобы сказал великий Павлов об этом или Маркс.

Почему, когда вода близка к закипанию, ничего не происходит, кроме появления пара, а если подогревается молоко, то оно поднимается и °убегает°?

Мои интерес отнюдь не эстетический, и закон подлости тут не причем, просто интересно что там в молоке такого???
