Something very important... will be discussed in the coming days...

#UrbanDevelopment #BLR
Can anyone guess what this is about ? :)
Yes. Many of you got it right.

This picture is indeed a Braille code at a public transport station.

As part of our #UrbanDevelopment #BLR discussions this week, we will now be looking at how ACCESSIBLE Bengaluru really is.
Firstly, i would humbly request the visually / physically / mentally challenged followers of this handle to actively participate in this conversation.

This is everything about you and the city's attitude towards you.

Living abroad, every day i notice what's lacking back home!
Be it Public transport, Medical assistance, Education, Living, Entertainment, Laws & Rights etc etc... Many countries across the world have been putting a lot into word and practice in terms of facilitating barrier-free living for those who have special needs.

#accessibility
#Accessibility is an OCEAN>.. To get a better perspective and easily understand the topic at hand, let us now watch something that best describes the issues many of the special needs people face and the solutions at hand.

Part 2 of the video:



#Accessibility #Bengaluru #Japan
Accessibility is not just about addressing Motor disabilities.

Accessibility is immensely required in all our digital solutions too.

In all the talk of "Digital India"... How many government services websites or applications are "accessibility ready" ?
WEB ACCESSIBILITY-

ENSURES websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them. More specifically, people can: perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web.
Web accessibility ensures the applications and websites have the below principles inbuilt:

÷Keyboard friendly navigation
÷Reduced scrolling and mouse movements
÷Alt text for images
÷Safe colours; easy to view
÷Easy form filling
÷Responsive design
÷No automatic media
Etc...
Another form of #accessibility

Of course...This is a different kind of #accessibility ..Or the lack of it 😒

"Ministers.... ಎಲ್ಲಿಧಾರಪ್ಪಾ!?

Hello Bengaluru. Today I'm going to discuss about another pertinent topic.

I work as a technology and business consultant in Singapore & from time to time I also work on Management consulting projects.

On one of those occasions, I decided to work for a school project.
This organization was a public-private entity. They have schools all over Singapore and almost 12k students study in those centres.

The students were predominantly middle class. 80% of them were Chinese and Malays. 15% Indians. 5% others.
The school was looking to expand it's chain and enroll more students. They were looking at the future and had a very broad plan drafted to get there.

My job was to ascertain their old, legacy processes, study them and re-engineer into new, swift, efficient ones.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Something very important in Congress's manifesto that no one is talking about- Foriegn Policy Stance.
It is clearly mentioned in bold that congress will bring back the policy of NON-ALIGNMENT back.
A thread-
It is clearly mentioned in bold that congress will bring back the policy of NON-ALIGNMENT back. India under congress have historically followed this policy. Things changed when incumbent government shifted to the policy of MULTI-ALIGNMENT.
Almost every Modi hater has this one point that Modi travelled a lot during his tenure. Of course he did!You know why?
Because his predecessors followed this non-alignment nonsense which lead to isolation of India on an international level. India didn't have any strong partners.

After work, Shane took the trolley downtown, There was still a place or two down there he hadn't been banned from.
He was easily a block away when he saw the crowd, and heard the shouting.
#vss365
Assembled loosely on the corner was a group of well-dressed people. Some were holding signs, some were passing out literature. One fellow was saying something to people as they passed by, struggling to be heard over the traffic.
Protesters? Shane wondered.
#vss365
Too late, Shane realized one of the crowd was addressing him.
"Can I give you something to read?" The man pushed a small pamphlet into Shane's hand. He didn't seem angry at all.
"What are y'all protesting? What's this all about?"

Something very important to your success as an entrepreneur is your

Positioning

I don't think many people truly understand this

It's kind of abstract

So here I will try to explain it in more concrete terms
The best comparison of positioning I can think of is "frame" in terms of game/social settings

It's not you, it's how you present you

How you think of things

How you MAKE other people think of you
In terms of business, positioning isn't you or your offer

It's how people PERCEIVE you and your offer

It's your status, your influence, your POSITION in the marketplace compared to competitors

Something very important is happening. Since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford so bravely came forward to tell her story of assault at the hands of Brett #Kavanaugh, many #RhodeIsland women have written me to share their own personal stories of survival.
I get mail every day about the various policies debated in Congress. But I have never had mail like this. This is bigger than the fight over a court nomination.
I’ve heard from women of different ages and backgrounds, some who have held their secrets for years. Those I quote have given me permission, even encouraged me, to share their words. For privacy, their names and other identifying information has been removed.
