From Noel.Nightingale at ed.gov Tue Dec 7 18:33:27 2021 From: Noel.Nightingale at ed.gov (Nightingale, Noel) Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2021 18:33:27 +0000 Subject: [blindLaw] Justice Department Secures Agreement with Hy-Vee Supermarket Chain to Make Online COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Accessible for People with Disabilities - Department of Justice - December 1, 2021 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-secures-agreement-hy-vee-supermarket-chain-make-online-covid-19-vaccine Justice Department Secures Agreement with Hy-Vee Supermarket Chain to Make Online COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Accessible for People with Disabilities Office of Public Affairs Department of Justice December 1, 2021 The Justice Department today announced that it has secured a settlement agreement with Hy-Vee Inc. that will help people with disabilities get information about COVID-19 vaccinations and book their vaccination appointments online. The Hy-Vee supermarket chain has more than 280 stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Today's resolution is the department's second agreement on this critical issue, following a November 2021 announcement of its settlement with Rite Aid Corporation. Hy-Vee's COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Portal, currently located at www.hy-vee.com/my-pharmacy/covid-vaccine, was not accessible to some people with disabilities, including those who use screen reader software and those who have a hard time using a mouse. For instance, people who used screen readers would not hear the questions on the medical screening forms, and people who used the tab key instead of a mouse could not select available appointment times. "Individuals with disabilities must be able to get potentially lifesaving healthcare like COVID-19 vaccines on equal terms, without sacrificing their privacy or independence," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Ensuring that people with disabilities can schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments the same way that people without disabilities can is not only a public health necessity, but a key civil rights issue under the Americans with Disabilities Act." Under today's settlement, Hy-Vee will make content about the COVID-19 vaccine, including the forms for scheduling an appointment to get the vaccine, conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.1, Level AA. WCAG is a set of voluntary industry guidelines for making information on a website accessible to users with disabilities. Hy-Vee also must regularly test the pages of its website about vaccine scheduling and information and quickly fix any problems that keep people with disabilities from being able to use these pages. This matter was handled jointly by the Disability Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires public accommodations like drugstores and grocery stores to provide individuals with disabilities with full and equal enjoyment of goods and services, such as vaccines. The ADA also requires public accommodations to ensure effective communication with people with disabilities, including by using auxiliary aids and services like accessible technology.

Several problems with this quote. First, the clot shot, or stroke poke if you prefer, is not a vaccine. It is a gene modification therapy, utilizing a product that has never before been used on humans. Second it is not "potentially life saving", as this Frankenscience poison will kill more people than it ever saves in the end. It has already killed more 16 to 30 year olds than were killed by Fauci's NIAID funded biological weapon known as SARS Covi 2. I recommend that those not jabbed spend time doing serious investigation on the fraud being perpetrated upon the world before spending any time figuring out how they can get their Frankenshot.

Several problems with this quote. First, the clot shot, or stroke poke if you prefer, is not a vaccine. It is a gene modification therapy, utilizing a product that has never before been used on humans. Second it is not "potentially life saving", as this Frankenscience poison will kill more people than it ever saves in the end. It has already killed more 16 to 30 year olds than were killed by Fauci's NIAID funded biological weapon known as SARS Covi 2. I recommend that those not jabbed spend time doing serious investigation on the fraud being perpetrated upon the world before spending any time figuring out how they can get their Frankenshot. Finally, where is Clark's concern for my privacy and independence when it comes to her boss' mandate that I take a Frankenshot that I know is harmful and deadly and which I have no intentions of taking? Just my 2 cents worth.

The Hy-Vee supermarket chain has more than 280 stores in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Today's resolution is the department's second agreement on this critical issue, following a November 2021 announcement of its settlement with Rite Aid Corporation. Hy-Vee's COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Portal, currently located at www.hy-vee.com/my-pharmacy/covid-vaccine, was not accessible to some people with disabilities, including those who use screen reader software and those who have a hard time using a mouse. For instance, people who used screen readers would not hear the questions on the medical screening forms, and people who used the tab key instead of a mouse could not select available appointment times. "Individuals with disabilities must be able to get potentially lifesaving healthcare like COVID-19 vaccines on equal terms, without sacrificing their privacy or independence," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Ensuring that people with disabilities can schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments the same way that people without disabilities can is not only a public health necessity, but a key civil rights issue under the Americans with Disabilities Act." Under today's settlement, Hy-Vee will make content about the COVID-19 vaccine, including the forms for scheduling an appointment to get the vaccine, conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.1, Level AA. WCAG is a set of voluntary industry guidelines for making information on a website accessible to users with disabilities. Hy-Vee also must regularly test the pages of its website about vaccine scheduling and information and quickly fix any problems that keep people with disabilities from being able to use these pages. This matter was handled jointly by the Disability Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires public accommodations like drugstores and grocery stores to provide individuals with disabilities with full and equal enjoyment of goods and services, such as vaccines. The ADA also requires public accommodations to ensure effective communication with people with disabilities, including by using auxiliary aids and services like accessible technology.

Also if I am simultaneously editing unless I am clearly the lead on the doc and need to be making final decisions then I will definitely leave suggesting mode on (editing with that on takes a bit of getting used to). Side-note for the link above, it says that live edits panel doesn't show edits made by collaborators using suggesting mode.

She was his everything. By Petula Dvorak Columnist Yesterday at 4:27 p.m. EST Three months of the Blue Sky planner from Staples are nearly full now. Appointments and numbers, people and times, every box and every line something she once kept in her head for him. Rhonda Weiss had a memory “like a computer,” said her husband, Allen Hirsh, 74. “I would just have to say: ’I have an appointment,’ and she would remember it and remind me of it.” The day after Weiss’s death — on Oct. 19, from brain cancer — Hirsh began filling up the planner, thinking about how much his wife of 34 years had done for him every day. And the small tasks he did for her. There he was, helping her with the occasional button, doing the cooking, driving her everywhere — a helpmate in life for an extraordinary woman who had been blind since shortly after birth. It was only after her death that Hirsh discovered more about just how extraordinary she was. Weiss kept much of her 41 years as an attorney at the U.S. Department of Education and swashbuckling disability rights advocate to herself, Hirsh said. She helped shape and enforce some of the primary legislation, laws and regulations used to help students with disabilities in every city across America, but didn’t bring that work home with her. “It’s bittersweet, you know,” Hirsh said. “Because there was so much she did I didn’t even know about.” “No one had the depth of knowledge that Rhonda did,” Nancy Deutsch, one of her colleagues, said at her funeral in late October. “No matter the topic, she knew the statutory language, the legislative history, the regulatory language, the regulatory history and all the policy documents by heart,” Deutsch said. “While all of us were fumbling around, in the early years, through our papers and files and in the later years on the computer, Rhonda would immediately know exactly what we were looking for.” The crowd gathered that day laughed in recognition as Deutsch mimicked a moment they all clearly knew, when Rhonda perfectly quoted a letter the department had sent a dozen years ago. She was right every time. Even by Washington standards, Weiss’s résumé was impressive, with undergraduate and law school degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from Bryn Mawr. She was born in December 1950 in Philadelphia, two months prematurely. “For the first month, I was placed in an incubator where I received supplemental oxygen continuously,” Weiss said in a recent speech about her bumpy and difficult journey through an American education system that had little concern for students with disabilities. That oxygen therapy was later found to cause retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which still impairs eyesight in about 14,000 premature infants every year. “That was the standard of care at the time for premature infants,” Weiss said. “Stevie Wonder, who was born in May of 1950, received the same treatment.” She remembered the babyish Braille storybooks her teachers found for her. The tangled reel-to-reel audiotapes of recorded books. She spent a childhood with a voracious appetite for learning in a desert of support for children with disabilities. “Our family doctor told my parents I expected too much of myself,” Weiss said. And a counselor once told her “that I should not compare myself to other children. That sent a very painful message.” She was placed in classes too easy for her, then was marveled over when teachers saw the ways her mind overcame obstacles. “I was treated like a wonder from another planet, because I was able to do math problems in my head and was not shy about class participation,” Weiss said. She was inspired to fight for kids like her, joined disability rights protests in Philadelphia and Washington in 1977, and headed to law school. After law school, she moved to Washington, where she began her career with the Department of Education. And she met Hirsh. “It was a blind date, actually,” Hirsh said, with the perfunctory laugh he probably gives every time he tells the story. He didn’t know what to expect when they met. She ate most of her restaurant meal with a fork and knife, he remembered. But occasionally, she used her hands, which were covered in burn scars from years of cooking on a gas stove by herself. Weiss dazzled him with her serious mind and academic passion. He loved that he could take care of her. He wanted kids. She was unsure. He told her that he would be the kind of husband who helped. “I cooked every night,” he said. “I cooked and shopped.” Their kids are now 29 and 27, and they listened to their mom read to them from the Braille edition of Harry Potter on long drives in a dark car, as fast as anyone could read with their eyes. She could also read Hebrew Braille. She sang beautifully and was a force at the Fabrangen Havurah in Chevy Chase. “She was the major breadwinner,” he said. “The large majority of males are challenged when a spouse is making more money than they are. I may have been guilty. But that’s it.” His beautiful wife was known as a sharp dresser, and he still doesn’t understand how she could pick out an outfit by touch and do her makeup without a mirror. “We’d go to urgent care when she bumped into things and hurt herself. Some people would say. ‘It must be so hard,’ ” he said. “And I would tell them it’s not hard. I am completely crazy about this woman. She’s beautiful, she’s smart, she’s wonderful — it’s not that hard.” From dlmlaw at sbcglobal.net Wed Dec 15 01:57:52 2021 From: dlmlaw at sbcglobal.net (dlmlaw at sbcglobal.net) Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 19:57:52 -0600 Subject: [blindLaw] For those of you who knew Rhonda Weiss, blind attorney In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <003901d7f157$2c09af80$841d0e80$@sbcglobal.net> Dear Ms. Nightengale: I did not know Rhonda.

Rhonda Weiss had a memory “like a computer,” said her husband, Allen Hirsh, 74. “I would just have to say: ’I have an appointment,’ and she would remember it and remind me of it.” The day after Weiss’s death — on Oct. 19, from brain cancer — Hirsh began filling up the planner, thinking about how much his wife of 34 years had done for him every day. And the small tasks he did for her. There he was, helping her with the occasional button, doing the cooking, driving her everywhere — a helpmate in life for an extraordinary woman who had been blind since shortly after birth. It was only after her death that Hirsh discovered more about just how extraordinary she was. Weiss kept much of her 41 years as an attorney at the U.S. Department of Education and swashbuckling disability rights advocate to herself, Hirsh said. She helped shape and enforce some of the primary legislation, laws and regulations used to help students with disabilities in every city across America, but didn’t bring that work home with her. “It’s bittersweet, you know,” Hirsh said. “Because there was so much she did I didn’t even know about.” “No one had the depth of knowledge that Rhonda did,” Nancy Deutsch, one of her colleagues, said at her funeral in late October. “No matter the topic, she knew the statutory language, the legislative history, the regulatory language, the regulatory history and all the policy documents by heart,” Deutsch said. “While all of us were fumbling around, in the early years, through our papers and files and in the later years on the computer, Rhonda would immediately know exactly what we were looking for.” The crowd gathered that day laughed in recognition as Deutsch mimicked a moment they all clearly knew, when Rhonda perfectly quoted a letter the department had sent a dozen years ago. She was right every time. Even by Washington standards, Weiss’s résumé was impressive, with undergraduate and law school degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from Bryn Mawr. She was born in December 1950 in Philadelphia, two months prematurely. “For the first month, I was placed in an incubator where I received supplemental oxygen continuously,” Weiss said in a recent speech about her bumpy and difficult journey through an American education system that had little concern for students with disabilities. That oxygen therapy was later found to cause retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which still impairs eyesight in about 14,000 premature infants every year. “That was the standard of care at the time for premature infants,” Weiss said. “Stevie Wonder, who was born in May of 1950, received the same treatment.” She remembered the babyish Braille storybooks her teachers found for her. The tangled reel-to-reel audiotapes of recorded books. She spent a childhood with a voracious appetite for learning in a desert of support for children with disabilities. “Our family doctor told my parents I expected too much of myself,” Weiss said. And a counselor once told her “that I should not compare myself to other children. That sent a very painful message.” She was placed in classes too easy for her, then was marveled over when teachers saw the ways her mind overcame obstacles. “I was treated like a wonder from another planet, because I was able to do math problems in my head and was not shy about class participation,” Weiss said. She was inspired to fight for kids like her, joined disability rights protests in Philadelphia and Washington in 1977, and headed to law school. After law school, she moved to Washington, where she began her career with the Department of Education. And she met Hirsh. “It was a blind date, actually,” Hirsh said, with the perfunctory laugh he probably gives every time he tells the story. He didn’t know what to expect when they met. She ate most of her restaurant meal with a fork and knife, he remembered. But occasionally, she used her hands, which were covered in burn scars from years of cooking on a gas stove by herself. Weiss dazzled him with her serious mind and academic passion. He loved that he could take care of her. He wanted kids. She was unsure. He told her that he would be the kind of husband who helped. “I cooked every night,” he said. “I cooked and shopped.” Their kids are now 29 and 27, and they listened to their mom read to them from the Braille edition of Harry Potter on long drives in a dark car, as fast as anyone could read with their eyes. She could also read Hebrew Braille. She sang beautifully and was a force at the Fabrangen Havurah in Chevy Chase. “She was the major breadwinner,” he said. “The large majority of males are challenged when a spouse is making more money than they are. I may have been guilty. But that’s it.” His beautiful wife was known as a sharp dresser, and he still doesn’t understand how she could pick out an outfit by touch and do her makeup without a mirror. “We’d go to urgent care when she bumped into things and hurt herself. Some people would say. ‘It must be so hard,’ ” he said. “And I would tell them it’s not hard. I am completely crazy about this woman. She’s beautiful, she’s smart, she’s wonderful — it’s not that hard.” _______________________________________________ BlindLaw mailing list BlindLaw at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindlaw_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for BlindLaw: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/blindlaw_nfbnet.org/dlmlaw%40sbcglobal.net From Noel.Nightingale at ed.gov Wed Dec 15 16:54:04 2021 From: Noel.Nightingale at ed.gov (Nightingale, Noel) Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:54:04 +0000 Subject: [blindLaw] Justice Department Secures Agreement to Improve Web Accessibility for Public Transportation Users with Disabilities - U.S. Department of Justice - December 14, 2021 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-secures-agreement-improve-web-accessibility-public-transportation-users Justice Department Secures Agreement to Improve Web Accessibility for Public Transportation Users with Disabilities in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois Office of Public Affairs U.S. Department of Justice December 14, 2021 The Justice Department announced today that it has entered into a settlement agreement with the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) to resolve alleged violations of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the agreement, the MTD must make its website and mobile applications accessible for users with visual and manual impairments. Public transportation users rely on the MTD's website and mobile applications to plan trips, check arrival times, and find fare information. The agreement requires the MTD to conform its website - www.mtd.org - and mobile applications to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.1, Level AA. WCAG is a set of voluntary industry guidelines for making information on a website accessible to users with disabilities, particularly those with visual and manual impairments. Additionally, the MTD will invest a minimum of $100,000 to improve its services for passengers with disabilities. "Equal access to public transit systems is critically important for the independence of people with disabilities and is required by law," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "This settlement brings us one step closer to realizing the ADA's promise of equal opportunity for all people regardless of disability status. The Department of Justice will continue to vigorously enforce federal law to root out discrimination against people with disabilities." "This agreement reflects the MTD's longtime commitment to serving individuals with disabilities," said U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Harris for the Central District of Illinois. "We appreciate the MTD's cooperation throughout the investigation and its commitment to quickly make its website and related tools fully accessible. Roughly 30 years after being enacted, the ADA continues to be a very important law protecting the rights of all individuals living and working in our community and its provisions remain relevant as technology and the needs of individuals with disabilities evolve." This matter was handled jointly by the Disability Rights Section of the department's Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua I. Grant of the Central District of Illinois. Title II of the ADA requires state and local governmental entities like public transportation providers to provide individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from their services, programs and activities.

Message-ID: Hello Friends. I am so excited and sad, I am done with half of my law school career. It has been a struggle and blast at the same time. Anyway, I am making the move from Windows to Mac. and need a good braille display because footnotes are not going away anytime soon and I am taking Trial Advocacy next semester. Are there any litigators here? How do you go about cross examinations and exhibits? Would you say that using a braille display makes a difference when public speaking? I also need one for exam prep, it is so hard to listen to my notes/computer and listen to what my study group wrote in our practice exams. while sitting in the Communal area. Not fun.
