Bi. Keynote works well . Microsoft also released a new bada of office 2016
which works good, but keynote would be your best bet. Try the bada though.
A website called applevis.com is awesome with Mack stuff ! Hope that helps .

Hello,
The Office 16 release is rather good, I have not tried powerPoint, but I have used Word and it's not too bad.
Your best bet is KeyNote. I don't think AppleVis has any mac tutorials on KeyNote.
Thanks.
God bless.

Message-ID: <556d0372.878b440a.15aa.ffffeecd@mx.google.com>

Hi, Today my braillenote froze several times today.  Half the 
time it freezes in the middle.  Usually it will freeze at 71 and 
I would need to try again.  Or it will go to 63 and it gets stuck 
there and I have to reset.  This was a bug in keysoft 9.3.1 which 
was fixed in keysoft 9.4.1.  Now with keysoft 9.5, the bug 
returns.  What could the problem be?

Subject: [nabs-l] NABS List Guidelines
Message-ID: <CALAYQJD4RFXcrK7bE0tKbdgL04i3ndBh2+Fpugs7PHVT3xZZww@mail.gmail.com>

NABS List Guidelines

1.	 Be respectful.
A. This Listserv is a great forum in which we can all express our
opinions. Sometimes we will disagree. However, when responding to a
post, always be respectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and
personal attacks and  degrading comments will not be tolerated.
B. All posts must be appropriate for a wide audience, including
readers younger than 18 years old. Profanity and sexual content will
not be allowed.
C. Remember that all list messages appear on a public archive. Please
respect other people’s privacy by not posting details about their
lives or experiences. Even if you post about somebody without using
their name, their identity can be discovered. Also remember that if
you post your phone number on list, others could access it via a
Google search.

2.	Reducing List Clutter
A. Please stay on topic. This list is about blindness and issues
related to being a blind student or job-seeker. Posts about religion
or politics, advertisements, queries asking to add list members on
social media, or any other posts unrelated to blindness are not
allowed, as they create too much list clutter unrelated to the list
purpose. The exception is that advertisements for blindness programs
and announcements about blindness-related research projects are
permitted. The moderators and NABS board reserve the right to close
down any discussion that is off-topic.
B.	Please respect readers’ time by consolidating your ideas into one
or two messages per day instead of posting many short replies to a
topic. Rule of thumb is to post in a way to further the conversation,
instead of just saying “I agree”.
C.	When you would like to write someone off list or offer to connect
with someone by Skype or social media, do so privately. You do not
have to write one liners to every person you’d like to email off list.
If you develop a conversation with that person, that’s great, if they
feel they do not want to respond that is their right too.
D.	If an off-topic message appears on the list, please do not respond
to it. Instead, please either delete it or forward it to a list
moderator. Single off-topic messages create much less clutter than
long threads debating whether or not the initial post is appropriate
for the list.
If you send a message the moderators feel is off-topic, you will
receive an off-list request not to send any more messages of this
kind. If you disagree with the moderator’s ruling, feel free to reply
and make your case, and we will be more than happy to listen. But the
list committee has final authority regarding what is and is not
appropriate for the list. Repeated violations of the guidelines could
result in disciplinary action from the list owner, including list
removal.

I'm guessing that it's exactly that--a software bug that has 
returned.  If it keeps getting stuck try taking the battery out 
for five-ten minutes and replacing it--that helped when I had 
that problem, though it was with an earlier version of Keysoft.

Hi, Jahmal,

Due to the higher than average attendance for this convention the
Rosen Center rooms are filled and will likely not clear up much.  I'm
not saying they won't at all, but there are an awful lot of people
trying to get to the 75th convention.  The Rosen Plaza, the hotel
nearby that is also a Rosen property, has also filled up.  The NFB has
worked out deals with the Red Roof Inn and the Clarion Hotel, which
are also nearby.  You might have better luck booking a room at one of
those two hotels instead of trying to find one someone else has
vacated at the Rosen Center.

All this information is located at nfb.org/convention

Hope this helps,

Subject: [nabs-l] family problems dealing with blindness
Message-ID: <CAGcQ9RZXFChLmQw+ccxpr4PcqKQF5mRzNJ12=i2hGHwqBNmY3w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all  I  just have been having family difficaulties i have documented
them as a whole it may not look blindness right away but i get into that
later in the message though.

 this happened a month ago in april this happened. but anyway my parents
and i got into bit of a cafuffal and things. i got bit jumpy or whatever
but that is all but anyway my dad all of a sudden tells me to get out of
the room very sternly. anyway i did not leave the room but anyway he then
threatened to call the police on me. i still did not leave the room until
he said he ment what he said about that threat. this was couple hours
before i was going out with a close friend. but anyway when she came just
before we left my mom said my dad wanted to talk to my friend. We just told
her we did not have time to talk and we left she said she had a gut
instinct that something was not right or was going to happen or something
like that before she got to my place i was just pretty scared my friend
said she couldn't blame me for being scared as she would be to if that was
said to her. I felt everything from a evil presence to anything else in
that house. My dad can be the type who does raise his voice and shut people
down instead of listening to them things like that. I been babied and
things by my parents and things. my dad treats me like a kid just his tone
of voice when he asks things do you know what a porcky pine is for example
it was like he tells me stuff i already know. my parents tend to treat me
like i have a disability and things i will state here that i don't consider
blindness a disability only an impairment. but my parents treat me like i
can't do anything and things like that he tends to concentrate on blindness
both parents do that is and does not think on the abilities. my parents are
just very controlling when it comes to these things and it just gets me
down and things. he has said to me when i told him to stop treat me like a
blind man his return fraise is this well you are blind and things like
that. again i don't consider blindness a disability i consider it an
impairment only. i just end up feeling very discouraged and feeling down
and things like that. i end up feeling hopless and i feel like i am very
iceolated and i feel very trapped at home as i am not aloud to do what i
want to do and things. i just am very tired of my parents in fact i feel
down because of being so trapped and things. my parents don't listen or
anything to me and when i tell somebody mom or dad how i feel they snap
back at me very quickly that is why i can't go to them.  I am finding that
they have their set way of what they want to do or want me to do for
example things like that.  I am 28 years old there has been things i feel
that have not been shown to me my parents are not grounded in  nfb
philosaphy they may say a blind person is capable   on the other end there
is this mind set they are not showing me that not showing me that i am
capable.   I know everybody has not been through these type of experiences
but there seems to be fair number that have had trouble with parents that
are in the blind community.

First, you mentioned that you're 28. But are your parents still your legal guardians? If they are, they can still set rules and expect you to follow them. Even if they're not, it sounds as though you're living with them still; so they still make the rules of the house. Do either of your parents hit you, push you, or anything like that? Or do they call you names and insult you?
I understand being frustrated with parents treating you differently because of blindness. If you have any friends who aren't family members, it can help to vent to them.

Have you tried moving out? About going to school? What about going to a Voke rehab place in your area? You need to do something. I was fortunate enough to have loving and caring family but understood that my blindness was not an invitation nor did they tell me it was and told me that I could do anything that I set my mind to.

Thanks,
Aaron

Sound advice from those who have replied so far.  Think of what you
could do to help make your situation better.  Can you go to school, a
training center, work more hours if you're already working or look for
a job if you're not?  It's my experience that family members who baby
a blind person lose their ability to do that when they logically don't
have a reason to.  It makes them look strange when they're babying
someone who is doing their own thing the way they want and is
successful at that.  Many people in the blind community find their
parents lighten up considerably once they start college and live
independently away from home.  This was my experience as well so I
definitely advocate for finding ways to do more on your own outside of
the house to squash those feelings of being trapped while
demonstrating you can be independent.

If your parents are being physically or emotionally abusive that is a
different conversation though.  That's really something only you can
evaluate as none of us on the list know the extent of the problem.
The other thing to consider is what was already said; if you live in
someone's house, parents or not, it's their rules that count.  I don't
always follow all my parents rules at college, but I have to go back
to them when I am home for the summer and extended breaks in spite of
the fact that I'm an adult too.  Unless you pay rent and for some of
the groceries and such it's difficult to have a leg to stand on there
at least for most families.

For talking to them about babying you have you considered finding a
neutral mediator?  That would be someone who isn't necessarily on
either side but who can help keep the conversation on track and civil
between everyone.  Mediators can be great for these sorts of things.

Hope this helps,

Hi Randrew I'm really sorry to read about your family problems.  
I agree with you that blindness is only an impairment.  I am 
still working on some blindness related tasks with the help of my 
family.

Afternoon, Roanna, and everyone,

         Rona, I hope this isn't annoyingly nitpicky but my problem 
with describing total blindness as an impairment has always been, 
that I have nothing to even be impaired  in the first place, with 
cancer having laid claim to both ocularly seeing organs, before the 
age of 2.Besides, I love my blindness, wouldn't be interested in 
seeing ocularly, should it be available.

Greetings NABS!!
The National Association of Blind Students is
planning a lot of exciting events at national convention. However we as a board can’t do all of it ourselves.
So we would very much appreciate your help in making our 
activities a success this year!
Where we would most appreciate your assistance is in three areas
1: marshalers for the NABS meeting on Monday July 6 from 6:00-7:00 P.M...
They are the few, the proud,   the people who make sure you know where the action is.
They help you find the right line to stand in.   Without them, we don't know how the night might go.
Five to ten people are needed for the NABS meeting.

2.
.  Assistance in staffing our table located in the exhibit hall.
Here you will be partnered up with a NABS board member selling   NABS
items and handing out NABS literature.  The schedule for tabling looks
like this: 
Monday, July 6:

11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. 
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. 
3:00p.m. – 5:00 p.m. 
Tuesday, July 7:
8:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. 
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. 
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. 
3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M. 
Wednesday, July 8:
12 noon – 1:45 p.m. 
6:00 P.M. – 8:30 P.M. 
Thursday, July 9:
12 noon – 1:45 p.m. 


As you can see, we have ten shifts, so if you contact me with your
preference, I will be more than happy to get you scheduled in!

3. Staffing the NABS Monte Carlo night fund raiser. This is a great
opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with us in putting together
one of our most successful events that we do.  For this we will need: 
Individuals who can work an early shift (7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.  Those
individuals will be asked to either
a. Marshal.
b. Set up for the event
c. Deal card games( blackjack, poker, holdem and other such games)
We will also need Late shift workers (9:30 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.)  Those
individuals would be asked to: 
a. deal card games (blackjack, poker, holdem and other such games) 
b. Assist with event clean- up and playing chip counting.

Please let me know what time(s) you are interested in working 
(exhibit hall, Monte Carlo, Business meeting or all three). If Monte Carlo, please let me
know what job you would like to take on, if you would like to deal and
what games you would like to deal (blackjack, poker, or other
such games).
This is a great opportunity for you to meet the NABS board, and us to
get to know you.  This is also an equally great opportunity for you
to meet a lot of new people and have some fun at the same time.
                If interested in volunteering to help with any of these exciting events, please contact me and specify your preferences. I can be reached at codyjbair at yahoo.com or (970)673-6998. Please also provide a contact phone number at which you will be able to be reached at during convention.

Thanks and I look forward to working with you at convention!

I agree with Kaiti Shelton.  You are not the only person to deal with this
type of situation. I perceive it was a family feud or a scuffle. My advice
to you would be that you need to separate and make the best of the
situation. Contemplation and procrastination will not help the situation.

Please remember to not let family get in the way of your own problems.

Live in the future and make it beautiful.

Hope you solve those family problems, Andrew.

Best of luck.

Jimmy Hulme

Here's my take on your situation. You are legally an adult at 18. Your parents no longer have legal obligation to provide for you once you reach the age of 21. You are fully responsible for your life and have all of the rights afforded to you as any other adult. You are 28 years old. You are a legal adult. I'm hoping I'm not the first to tell you that.
To be honest, I would get myself out of such a situation. You do not have to live in that environment. You can leave if you so choose. I don't believe your parents are going to change their rules or expectations. You have to step up and create your own opportunities. 
I don't know what your living situation is but, I do know if it is really that bad you can get out of it. If you feel for whatever reason you are not ready to live independently there are programs and organizations that can help you.
Based on the information you provided, I do not see your current situation improving. 
I'm sorry I'm quite direct in my response. I hope you find a solution that works for you.
Bridget

Subject: [nabs-l] voiceover speed issue
Message-ID: <556fb6bb.9129370a.5a34.ffffb47c@mx.google.com>

Hello NABS friends,

    Today, I updated my iPhone 5S to the latest version of IOS. A 
little late in the game, I know, but better late than never, 
right? Anyway, after the update completed, VoiceOver began 
talking extremely fast. I have a hearing difficulty, so I keep 
the speaking rate at 40% so I can always understand what 
Voiceover says. I went under settings, general, and 
accessability, but the speaking rate was still at 40%. I raised 
it and lowered it, but the speed of VoiceOver remained constant. 
I tried resetting the phone by turning it on and off, but that 
didn't work. I thought I'd see if any of y'all had any ideas 
before I tackled Apple tech support. Any help is appreciated.

Yours,
Sophie

Hi Andrew. Sounds like you are going through a difficult situation.
Know that you are not alone and there are many blind young adults who
have experienced similar issues. I have been living away from my
parents' home since I began college at age 18, and living in a
separate state from them since age 23. While I have a good (not
perfect) relationship with my folks now, I think if I had to live in
their home things would be much worse, for reasons similar to what you
have described. I agree with Bridget that as a legal adult, you could
benefit greatly from finding a separate living arrangement, especially
if you can also move to an area with better public transit, job
opportunities, etc. I would recommend making a written plan for steps
you can take to find a new living situation, such as college
admission, finding a job or even living with a friend or relative who
supports your autonomy. You may want to enlist support from a rehab
counselor or perhaps even a social worker or mental health counselor
to find out what your living options are. Then, calmly present your
plan to your parents (perhaps in writing). Hopefully they will support
your decision to move out on your own.

Hey! Sophie! This is Helga. I have an iPhone 5, and I have IOS 8.3. I can

questions, you can call me today ok? And I also recommend you to follow 
Joseph request about joining his list! I look forward in hearing from you 
soon. ThanksThanks so much and God bless!

Have you tried a hard reset?  You can do this by holding down the home
button and lock button for a while.  The instructions say to hold them
till the apple shows up, but since obviously that's not always readily
apparent to us you could ask someone to tell you when the apple
appears or just hold the buttons for about ten seconds.  That's
usually the time my IPhone takes to reset itself.

If that doesn't fix the problem then I'd go ahead and call Apple,
though in my experiences resets like this work pretty well.

Hope this helps,

Anyway, after the update completed, VoiceOver began talking extremely fast. I have a hearing difficulty, so I keep the speaking rate at 40% so I can always understand what Voiceover says. I went under settings, general, and accessability, but the speaking rate was still at 40%. I raised it and lowered it, but the speed of VoiceOver remained constant. I tried resetting the phone by turning it on and off, but that didn't work. I thought I'd see if any of y'all had any ideas before I tackled Apple tech support. Any help is appreciated.

Fellow Federationists,

This is to announce that the agenda for the 2015 national convention is now online in either Word or accessible PDF format. Judging from the cursory look at parts of the agenda which I have done last night and early this morning, this convention will truly live up to its promise as an unforgettable and historic experience worthy of the milestone we are celebrating there. To download the full agenda in Microsoft Word format, please visit the following link:

See you in Orlando,

Dear Students,

I hope you are having a wonderful start to your Summer vacations.  
I have a suggesttion for the Nabs guidelines that I'd like to 
share with you.  I'd like to see a guideline about how long 
students can stay on the list after they have graduated from high 
school or college.  Some of the students who have graduated are 
great mentors and role models for the oneyer blind students on 
this list.  Let me know what you think of this idea.

I believe you can stay on the list as long as you want. The list does not filter out those who are not in school. It is for students and those interested in issues related to them. 
Hope this helps.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Message-ID: <030001d09ed8$dee8d5f0$9cba81d0$@gmail.com>

Good morning,

 I've been a member for quite some time now but haven't posted but read a
fair bit. I am a fairly busy woman, so dn't always get a moment to write but
enjoy all the great posts, and saw this and had to put in my two cents
worth.

I was once a student, graduating back in 2008 with an Applied Business
Technology certification alongside my adult Dogwood diploma (adult high
school graduation). I currently haven't been successful in my area in
searching for a job in my area of study; however, have been running my own
small business plus volunteering for two non-profits; Canadian Cancer
Society and mainly at the Canadian Red Cross Society. I recently changed
departments with RC to go into disaster management, where I've been bitten
with the "bug". I'm in the research phase to find a suitable post-secondary
institution, mainly via on-line, for certification in Emergency / Diisaster
Management. I am potentially looking at the Fall of 2016 to go back to
school. With my volunteer experience at RC, my supervisor (and many others)
have questioned why I've not been hired within the organization with my vast
background. I live in a rural city in Northern BC at this time, living
independently with a guide dog. I am deafblind but very highly functioning
so do not fit into the mold within the disability, and have gone out of
regular "mold" so to speak, to find interest outside disability-related
positions, and here I am *grin*

I am quite active in other areas besides the volunteer work I do (especially
with DM I'm on call, plus, as a family joke, "You can never be late for
work." As I actually live beside my office! Previous to my switch I was
doing reception and then moved up to doing volunteer resources in the Health
Equipment Loan department covering a large territory. Due to changes in the
volunteer management model, my job had to change.

So the program I graduated with from college didn't necessarily help me in
the career path, but it helped in some aspects in the work I ended up doing
and have and soon to be doing. I am 33 years old and finally found the path
that should help lead to a career that I want to be in, especially
considering my supervisor's long-term plans she hints to me...

Off to start the day, have a meeting with my supervisor this morning prior
to her leaving for two weeks with me being on-call to deploy volunteers
during disasters while she is away, so she is putting everything into my
capable hands alongside the paid team member (who can only do it after work
hours) and awaiting to hear my sister's newborn (she's been in labor since
yesterday). I tend to hlead a fairly non-boring life including reading and
lurking and reading in most lists, especially dog, cat and pet-sitting
related email groups to stay on top of anything health and behavior related
to keep me educated for running my business, plus I run several fB groups
and email groups (mainly GDB-related).

So in an answer to this, no, I don't think this is a plausible rule as we
are all mature students and there are times, like myself, who graduate and
at times want to pursue other avenues and go back to school again at a later
date... that's putting a bit of a restriction and it is likes inviting to
mentor all age groups; high school to even seniors (my mother actually went
back to school when she was 60!). Just my own two cents worth, even from
someone who barely has time to write such a lengthy post! *grin*

Every one stay safe and have a wonderful day,

Roanna,
The NABS list is a public list administered by NFBNET. While it is
interest specific, it is public, so anyone can subscribe, which is how
all NFB lists are set up. The guidelines are merely that, guidelines
to make sure that subscribers get the most out of the list.
Thanks!'

Mary

 Hello NABS friends,

   Today, I updated my iPhone 5S to the latest version of IOS. A 
little
 late in the game, I know, but better late than never, right? 
Anyway, after
 the update completed, VoiceOver began talking extremely fast. I 
have a
 hearing difficulty, so I keep the speaking rate at 40% so I can 
always
 understand what Voiceover says. I went under settings, general, 
and
 accessability, but the speaking rate was still at 40%. I raised 
it and
 lowered it, but the speed of VoiceOver remained constant. I 
tried
 resetting the phone by turning it on and off, but that didn't 
work. I
 thought I'd see if any of y'all had any ideas before I tackled 
Apple tech
 support. Any help is appreciated.

 Yours,
 Sophie

Hi,
not a good idea to restrict how long people can stay. As Mary said, it’s a 
public list for anyone to join, and I'd rather it stay that way.

Dear Students,

I hope you are having a wonderful start to your Summer vacations.
I have a suggesttion for the Nabs guidelines that I'd like to
share with you.  I'd like to see a guideline about how long
students can stay on the list after they have graduated from high
school or college.  Some of the students who have graduated are
great mentors and role models for the oneyer blind students on
this list.  Let me know what you think of this idea.

I could be wrong, but I also think membership in the constitution is
stated to be open to students, parents, and anyone else interested in
educational opportunities and issues facing blind students.  A change
to membership for the list would not have to be made in the guidelines
but the constitution itself if this is indeed the case, so I don't
think those who wish the list membership to remain as is need to
worry.  :)

Hi Star grants and scholarships for graduate school should be 
available at your college's financial aid office.  Financial aid 
funds can be used for tunition fees and books.

Most grad programs should be providing you funding.  Especially 
at the Ph.D. level, you should be getting most of your tuition 
waved if your in a relatively highly ranked program.  In addition 
there are foundations like the Ford Foundation that provide 
scholarships.  I would suggest talking to professors and academic 
advisors in your field, and I would also suggest looking at the 
websites of the professional organizations in your field--they 
often have information for people trying to enter the field.  
Without knowing what you're going to grad school for, I don't 
think we can provide more advice than that.

Hello everyone, I have a question for you all. If I would like to attend the NFB convention would my commission counselor have to pay for it, or is this something my parents would have to pay for? I really want to go to the NFB convention.
I've never gone there before.
I'd so love to go.

I just want to run it by my commission counselor first if that's necessary.

Salutations on behalf of the performing arts division. As we are now less
than 30 days from what will without doubt go down as one of the most
memorable conventions of all times we write to you; to let you know about a
conference call that will be taking place on Monday June 8th.

This year, the Performing Arts Division has a number of events planned in
anticipation of the 75th anniversary celebration. We would love the
opportunity to share the details of these events with you and would love to
hear your ideas and any suggestions you might have. Please join us Monday,
June 8, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time as we begin to count down to what promises
to be a phenomenal convention. We are extraordinarily excited to share with
all of you and look forward to hearing your voices on the call. Call in
information is as follows. Shortly before 7:30 Monday June 8th please Dial: 

712-4 32-3900.

We very much appreciate the opportunity to share just a few moments during

Warmly,

Jordy D. Stringer,

President, Performing Arts Division, National Federation of the Blind

Phone: (317) 643-1890

e-mail: nfbpad at gmail.com

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Hi, your parents would have to pay for you to go.  Your rehab
counselor would not pay for it.  I've never been to any NFB
conventions, but they do sound very cool.  I'd love to check out all
the assistive technology.

Let me clarify. The locational rehabilitation counselor will normally pay once for you to go as it relates to your vocational, i.e. work goal. At least that's what I've known all my life. :-)

You beat me to the punch. This is correct. In fact I'll be talking a little
about how this works during the Performing Arts Conference call happening
Monday June 8. 
As far as getting a VRC to consider it for this year's convention, it's very
unlikely that they would be able to do the paper work necessary to get you
there in time. 
That's something to consider for next year. 
Best,
Jordy D. Stringer

Good Morning,
 there are a few ways you can try to get to  a national convention.
 someone has already touched on voc rehab as an option.
 your  state affiliate or local chapter might have funds to assist members in going to national and state conventions. 
 the NFB has a  scholarship  set aside which is funded by members of the organization  that has been set up to assist first time convention participants to experience all of what convention iss.  I am sure that there are a few people on the list that have made good use of that fund and can tell you how valuable it is.
  NFB  Training centers take their students to national convention as a part of their training.
 Finally people do pay their own way. If you can save the money, you can pay for a flight and share room costs with two to three other folks. this helps greatly with the expense and honestly, If you are really  taking advantage of  the opportunity to be at  convention you’ll only  be in your room just long enough to sleep, shower , change , etc.
 hth

I personally have never heard of the state paying for convention, so
unless you can get a grant specificly  to attend from somewhere, it
would be a personal  expense

Though it wouldn't get you there this year (convention is only a month away,) there are also grants available for first-time convention attendees from the NFB itself. On the national level, you could apply for the Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship. State affiliates and local chapters often save money in their treasuries to assist members in attending the national convention. You could get in touch with your state President next year to see what's available.

You can also apply for the nfb scholarship if you qualify. They give you anywhere from 3000 to 12000 dollars, which can be very helpful.

In addition there are foundations like the Ford Foundation that provide scholarships.  I would suggest talking to professors and academic advisors in your field, and I would also suggest looking at the websites of the professional organizations in your field--they often have information for people trying to enter the field.  Without knowing what you're going to grad school for, I don't think we can provide more advice than that.

As others have said paying for convention is a personal expense.  
If you'd like you can listen to the convention via live stream on 
the internet.

Aside from the NFB scholarship program which is wonderful for other
reasons besides the money, I think Google can be your best friend when
looking for scholarships.  I've found most of the other scholarships
I've applied for that way, and there are also sites that should pop up
specifically dedicated to listing scholarships.  I think one is called
scholarship zone, for example.  International Scholarship and Tuition
Services, Inc. is another good one, though the last time I applied for
one of the scholarship applications they hosted the forms were not
accessible with a screenreader.  ISTS hosts applications for major
corperations like Tylenol and Visine, though I don't think the latter
has a scholarship program anymore.

Good luck,

Massachusetts has state money allocated for people to attend conventions/conferences. 

You should definitely ask voc rehab and do some googling. You never know what the government thinks they should spend money on.

Hi,

Though I did not receive Jernigan Funds, the stipent given to
first-time convention attendees (because I won a scholarship that same
year), I can say that the application is completely painless and
straightforward.  The application period has passed for this year, but
for future reference the deadline is typically around April 15th.

I'd suggest getting in contact with your affiliate president and
explaining that you really want to go.  A lot of affiliates, including
Ohio where I'm from, are trying to bring the largest contingents they
can because this is the 75th convention.  There might just be
something your affiliate president could do to help you out.  Perhaps
the affiliate has funds, he/she can put you in touch with someone who
has a spare place in their room, and/or they know of someone who is
driving down or someone with a flight you could try to get on with.

The other thing you could do if this year's convention isn't an option
is to start fundraising for next year.  If you start now and put
together some meaningful fundraisers you should at least be able to
cover airfare or something.

Hope this helps,

 Facilitator for our Employment Immersion Program
Message-ID: <2B462D39CA57B147A4C4B61F9FC1959D53950F@email.rrlh-sf.local>

POSITION: Employment Facilitator

JOB PURPOSE:
The LightHouse Employment Immersion initiative is not a generic program like those available elsewhere to sighted jobseekers.  Our program puts special emphasis on connecting blind jobseekers with the actual experiences of blind employees.  This position will introduce blind jobseekers to blind mentors, coordinate peer discussion, identify and schedule outside blind-positive speakers and generally produce an immersive experience rich in blind-positive stories, workplace examples, and people. The task of instilling pride, confidence and blind community support is central to this position.

The second purpose of this position is to ensure that blind and visually-impaired participants are provided practical, accessible and required training and support for their job search and application process.  The Employment Facilitator will work closely with the Jobseeker Coordinator to ensure that timely encouragement and support is given to participants during formal class sessions and the subsequent job search phase.

The Employment Facilitator will coordinate and teach standard aspects of career exploration, job search, interviewing, networking and job-carving.  This position will develop and maintain a system to keep every class participant accountable for specific actions throughout their enrollment in the program.

QUALIFICATIONS:
Education or equivalent: A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience that parallels the needs of the department, such as vocational counseling, teaching or a work history supporting the disability community.

Experience: Five years' experience with blindness or low vision, in either a service organization or via extensive personal experience with the needs of blind jobseekers.  A history of public speaking, giving presentations or workshop facilitation helpful.

Other: Ability to be productive with large e-mail flows; strong proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and Internet research tools essential.  Working knowledge of accessible technology very helpful.  Demonstrated skill in writing and evaluating lesson plans, and providing constructive criticism.  A history of successful diversity integration in group settings.  Position requires strong organization, communication flexibility and interpersonal skills; ability to work collaboratively; capacity to handle multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.  Some aptitude in a language other than English always appreciated.

ACCOUNTABILITIES:

JOB FUNCTIONS

The Employment Facilitator provides both classroom and individual instruction; employment and job search preparation; and supports the placement activity of blind and visually-impaired students.

IN CLASS

The Employment Facilitator assists students in developing and refining their résumés, conducting job searches, and teaching blind-specific strategies for interviewing successfully.


·        Leads workshops, 1:1 training and occasionally participates in student retreats.

·        Assists students to develop transferable job-search skills, such as creating résumés, cover letters, networking and discovering unconventional job leads.

·        Assists students with technical issues during class.

·        Assigns and evaluates student homework and projects.

·        Identifies and introduces blind jobseekers to community mentors, informational interview sources and working blind people.

PROGRAM PLANNING AND OPERATIONS
The Employment Facilitator will have lead responsibility in developing curriculum and workshops, documenting and updating the syllabus, devising employment strategies, networking and attending employment-related community events.

Develops program curriculum with a concentration on assembling a compelling library of readings, videos, podcasts and other resources with strong narratives about blind people in the workplace and how they got there.

Designs innovative class sessions, periodic social jobseeker events, and after-hours online and in-person activities to ensure that the program is:

·        Intense and immersive.

·        Fun and engaging.

·        Connecting each jobseeker with others that have similar aspirations.

Designs and updates the curriculum so that each jobseeker is accountable for 40 hours per week of class, active job searching, networking and non-passive activities.

·        Encourages and supports student job search activities.

·        Assists with strategizing and filling out job applications.

·        When required, escorts students to interviews and other job-related activities.

·        Visits work sites to assess the need for post-employment support.

·        Analyzes and writes reports for any job modifications needed to create an accessible and productive work environment.

·        Assists the Employment Development Manager in outreach and presentation activities as needed.

·        Refers to and collaborates with other departments to assist students in learning about LightHouse training, social and recreational opportunities.

·        Establishes and maintains active referral relationships with the Department of Rehabilitation and other community partners.

·        Assigns and performs training and other services within the parameters of written Authorizations, and bills within the scope of those authorizations.

Dear Students,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their Summer 
vacation whether you're taking college classes or just relaxing 
with friends and family.  Last week I had the chance to read the 
letter that Justin Salsbury wrote in this month's Braille 
Monitor.  I have a question for all of you.  What is a typical 
day like at the Nfb headquarters? Hope to hear from you soon.

Rona,
  I will gladly give one of the interns your email, to let you know more info. There are currently four, and I'm sure they would love to elaborate on their first week of working in the center.
Best,

Hi,

I'm going to high school next year, and at least one of the courses uses
Canvas a lot. Is it accessible? What problems have you found with it?

Hi Anna.  I used canvas a couple years ago when I took an online
science class for my associates degree.  It did take me a couple days
to figure out canvas, but I was able to use it.  If  remember
correctly, I had to go to the bottom of the page on the site to find
where my quizzes and tests were located.  It will take a little
getting used to, but I'm sure you can do it.  I'm sure your instructor
will help if needed.  My science teacher sent me a couple assignments
via email, and I just sent them back to her as attachments.  I forget,
there was one thing that I couldn't do with canvas, but I forget what
it was.  Good luck.

 and Performing Arts General Meeting
Message-ID: <SNT152-W83812BEA776D8D159AFFB1A8B10@phx.gbl>

 
Hello,
 
I will do my best to keep this brief.  I am new to this list service and blindness in General.  I've only been using a screen reader for about 3 years now, I lost my vision slowly to RP, and Macular Degeneration.
 
I am a Canadian law student attending classes at Osgoode Hall, in Toronto, Ontario.  I'll be starting classes in September.
I am also interested in funding for school, and adaptive technology.  
 
Both the NFB Scholarship and the Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship were mentioned, but I don't know how to apply for either one.
 
In addition to funding for school I would like to attend this years convention.  As I am going into first year classes I feel this would be the best time for me to go.
 

Is there a way to get a scholarship from the NFB for attending the convention? - or any other funding for that matter?
I have been trying to find funding through the local service clubs such as the Lions and the Rotary clubs.  Unfortunately without much success.  I applied for funding through the Canadian Federation of the Blind (CFBB) but because I included in my application the need for total funding, which they were not in a position to provide to any one, my name was removed and I received no funding So, now I am still looking for funding to cover the total costs instead of just a partial amount.
 
And David - if I can go I would willingly be your roommate.
 
Lastly, the performing Arts General Members meeting is scheduled for Monday June 8th at 7:30pm. - What time zone is that?
 
If anyone would like to answer these questions privately, instad of on the general mailing list, my personal email is bluezinfandel at hotmail.com
 
Thank you.

Hi Ben,
 welcome to the list!
 On funding:  the window for applying for the  National Academic scholarship through the Nfb is closed.  The same is the case for the Kenneth Jernigan first time attendee scholarship.  it is a good idea to try to look for  financial assistance through those avenues sooner rather than  later in future.
 our national scholarship program is typically awarded to thirty students who are planning to study in the US, so if you were not planning on studying  in the US then that might not be the best course of action.
  unfortunately I don’t know much about  possible funding options that you  haven’t already looked into, but there are many many more people on this list who probably do.
 I believe the performing arts  membership meeting’s start time is consistent with the US eastern time zone.

Hi Ben,

Darian is right about funding.

As for the Performing Arts Division meeting, the general membership
meeting is actually on Tuesday, July 7 at 1:00 PM ET.  The meeting on
the Monday night is a specific seminar for people who are interested
in producing music.

The NABS meeting is also that Monday night I believe.  I hope you can
make it to the convention, if not this year, then next!

Hi Anna,

I tested Canvas for my job at my university last fall, so not all my
impressions  may be useful.

I found it to be difficult to use, and not all of the functions were
accessible.  I believe that once you get used to the layout you will
be ok, but it was strange, and I remember that the options that appear
at the top of every pages on the web as links didn't always appear at
all or in the same place when I was on Canvas.  That meant that I was
far less productive when trying to get to know it.

I believe that doing homework, tests, etc will be easy enough, but
there are some functions that may not be accessible.  There is a group
of university professionals working to make Canvas more accessible.

Good luck!

I know that when I used canvas, it really depended on if I were using
firefox, or internet explorer.  I think firefox was the browser I
couldn't use canvas with.  It has been quite a while since I used it,
I forget.  Good luck.

Hello,
My University just finished making the transition from Blackboard to
Canvas ( it has been available for two semesters). I have used Canvas
for two semesters now and I would say it is about 80 percent
accessible. When uploading files such as papers and the like, it is
quite accessible. However, there are some features that are not and
there is even a disclaimer that says that it is not accessible to
screen readers. I do have my qualms with Canvas, but for the most part
I can work through the cumbersome nature of Canvas.

Hi, today I paired my new streamer to my iphone.  When I select 
fm, musc, or telicoil, the hearing aids take no effect.  If a 
sighted person uses it, it does take effect.  I have a 
sransmitter that plugs into the streamer and I can't play music 
through the streamer.  If I hit defaut, the hearing aids will 
stop streaming all together.  Is there a way I can make the 
chanhes take effect.

Hi Anna thanks for your message.  The Canvas system is accessible 
with Jaws and on an IPad.  There is a free canvas by instructure 
app that you can download from the Apple appstore.  The only 
problems I've found are that quizzes cannot be completed on the 
IPad and Canvas is not accessible on the BrailleNote family of 
products.

I absolutely love Canvas and I haven't found anything on the platform
that is inaccessible. I think firefox works best with the platform,
and the IT people dedicated to web accessibility at my school even
recommended that firefox be used with it. When I started as a freshman
3 years ago, we had to use blackboard vista and Canvas is leaps and
bounds beyond anything blackboard could do in terms of accessibility.

When you are on the home page of Canvas and all subsequent pages,
there are lists of items at the top of the page that you use to
navigate to what you want like discussions, assignments, quizzes,
grades, etc. If you are enrolled in multiple classes, you can find the
list at the top of the page as well. The cool feature of Canvas that I
really like is that it will open pdf's, power points, and other
documents right in the webpage if you don't want to download it to
your computer. Sometimes, I will do this because it will actually read
better than if I open the pdf or ppt using the programs on my laptop.

HTH,
Minh

Message-ID: <CAJcYH6-sBkHM9-zq335pbDofUcS3Eb-9XO17Nro2yFr5nWyBNw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
This Friday's seminar sounds like it's the place to be! Shame I don't
live in America, hee hee!

I'm getting in touch because
 I’ve been frustrated many times over the last couple of years by
 companies selling products online. It’s mainly the lack of
 accessibility in relation to their websites and digital products which
 gets to me.
 I have a product idea which will make mainstream companies more aware
 of us as an important community that spends money online. I’d really
 value your help and if you complete the survey within seven days, I’ll
 post the results of the survey to the list. There’s an awful lot we
 can do with this survey:
 *I want to help my local advocacy group make their case that there’s a
 lot of money that companies are missing out on as a result of their
 ignorance about us as a consumer group.
 *The Radio station I work at, (Insight Radio), would be able to make
 this a focal point, drawing over 100000 people’s attention to
 accessibility issues as something they can make a difference in.
 *Given that 2015 is the 800th anniversary of the signing of The Magna
 Carta, it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to get some press
 attention.  (The Freedom from Discrimination Act).

 What I have to say will only be news worthy if enough of us take
 action. By doing this, we will make these companies sit up and take
 notice but the more of us who respond, the better!

 Here’s the link:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YmbOxm4_jPOBOpN6GOyCWzeK_HgUANrgJkVlForV_JU/edit#

 I know it may appear as two lines but if you paste it into a fresh web
 page, it will open properly.

 By the way it is a 10 minute survey, (with thinking time included),
 and I filled it out myself with a Braille stopwatch so I can say that
 with experience, hee hee!
 Thank you again,
 Sandra.

Hello NABS friends,

I'm going t Europe in a couple of weeks! A few days ago, I called 
Humanware to see what type of converter I would need for my 
braillenote apex. For the mPower, you had to get a whole separate 
cord. The Humanware tech support person told me tha for the Apex, 
all that was needed was a prong adapter. My mom is kind of anal, 
so she's making me double check if a Type C prong adapter will 
work for the braillenote abroad. I don't want to sound like an 
idiot by calling Humanware back with the same question, so I was 
wondering if any of y'all have experience with this. Input is 
appreciated.

Yours,
Sophie

This depends on where in Europe you're going.  The Uk, Germany, 
and Switzerland all have different shaped plugs, and that's just 
countries I happen to know about.  There are combination adapters 
that look like a cube with different plugs on the sides that 
should give you everything you need, or some online research 
about where you're specifically going should tell you what the 
adapter you need there is called.  There isn't anything special 
about the Apex charger, so whatever your average traveler from 
the U.S. uses to adapt their tech will work for you.

It also depends on whether or not the adapter for the note taker is able to handle plugs with both 110 V and 220 V currents   This comes standard with all laptops, and it means that you would only need a physical adapter. If this is not available, you would have to not only have a physical adapter to fit in the wall, but you would also have to have a voltage adapter.

It is much simpler need ingjust a physical adapter. In Latin America, you can pick these up for very cheap in your corner electronics store. Not sure how it is in Europe.

The Apex adapter can handle 220.

It also depends on whether or not the adapter for the note taker 
is able to handle plugs with both 110 V and 220 V currents   This 
comes standard with all laptops, and it means that you would only 
need a physical adapter. If this is not available, you would have 
to not only have a physical adapter to fit in the wall, but you 
would also have to have a voltage adapter.

It is much simpler need ingjust a physical adapter. In Latin 
America, you can pick these up for very cheap in your corner 
electronics store. Not sure how it is in Europe.

Per China: You would have to check the voltage and the type of adapter
you might need per the messages Karl and Justin have posted.  You
might need to pick up one or both of these but with anything you might
need to buy it should work.

Message-ID: <CADFycPYM+mFrGvhpqR2bd6_t0dY7TVTqTBNBWrKXwet32rvkcA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I am planning to buy a new laptop and am confused between two
machines: Dell Inspiron 3148 and 7348. My confusion stems from the
fact that the former runs on an I3 processor, whereas the latter runs
on an I5 processor. While I have been able to acquire a fairly
detailed understanding of the differences between these two on the
basis of some online research, I would be extremely grateful if any of
you could speak to the differences between these 2 processors from the
standpoint of a JAWS user. More specifically, I am a law student and
use my laptop for reading a lot of documents, using MS Office, email,
social networking and am acquired to use highly advanced MS Word
functions like track changes and footnotes all the time. Further, I
have to work with multiple applications like Adobe Reader, MS Word and
a web browser simultaneously. I am really frustrated with the
performance of the machine that I currently have, as it runs on a Dual
Core processor and merely has 2gb RAM.
While I am really keen to go for the Inspiron 7348, it is a lot more
expensive than the 3148 which is why I am not sure which one I should
choose.
Any concrete suggestions would be immensely appreciated.

Best,
Rahul

The i5 processor will be a lot better. I have one with the latter and it is very sluggish and slow. The more gigabytes of RAM you can get better performance out of.the machine

Hi Sophie thans for your message.  Whenever I travel with my Apex 
I always take the charger for it.  I'm not sure what type of 
converter you will need for taking it abroad.

forward to connecting with you all soon.

Warmly,

Jordy D. Stringer,

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams.

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Without knowing the specs of either, in general, the i5 would be 
better than the I3, newer, faster etc.  However, as important, or 
more important is adequate memory, that is primary problem with your 
2 gig machine.  I would consider 4 to be the absolute minimum with a 
screen reader, 8 or 16 if you run a lot of tasks, and machine is 64 
bit.  A 32 bit machine can't address above 4.

Hello:
I'll second what david said mostly.
You'll want at least 8 gb, 16 is probably overkill. My tablet has 8
and I do some fairly intensive work.
I3 is pretty cheap but you will not get the same performance. Having
seen the size of some law books, you'll want more processing power to
parse and read them. I recommend the i5. This will also help Jaws and
make everything generally faster.
Also as david said, you will need a 64 bit system. It's generally
quicker and will allow you to address higher than 3.something gb ram
(PAE included).

HTH,

Subject: [nabs-l]  Maths course.
Message-ID: <CAJcYH68ykekjNoZLoMQMOd7WsdwSkKFcEWWKs2ifcXxWbLitPQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
I've never been great at maths. It was taught rather visually when I
was at school although there were Braille resources; graph paper, wiki
sticks, Cubi-Rhythm etc. Anyway, I've decided to do something about
it. Does anyone know where I can access a maths course that's aimed at
visually impaired people? Preferably something that doesn't rely on
visual cues or imagery. An audio course or electronic course? Baring
in mind that I don't live in America.

Thanks again,
very best wishes,
Sandra.

Hi. You could try a course from the Hadley School For The Blind. I'm not sure if they are in other languages. That's great you're looking for a math course. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Subject: [nabs-l] Experiences with American Airlines
Message-ID: <00e401d0a3dd$4142ef70$c3c8ce50$@gmail.com>

Hello All,

 

Next week my mom and I will fly out to California to participate in the
National Braille Challenge competition. Due to the circumstances of this
particular trip and the family vacation which proceeds it, we have to fly
American Airlines rather than our usual Southwest. This change of airline is
naturally a cause for some degree of concern and curiosity on my part.

 

As has been the case with many other blind people, I have not experienced
any issues which stem from my blindness or my use of a white cane when
flying Southwest. Though I am often required to hand over my cane in order
for them to pass it through the mettle detector at security, I have always
gotten it back promptly and have had no trouble carrying it on the plane
with me. Southwest's staff have been in general very accommodating. However,
this will be my first time flying American. What experiences-positive or
negative-have you had when flying this airline? Has the staff been helpful
without being overly so? Have you faced any discrimination problems with
this airline? I believe the Federation has had a contentious history with
American due to their past discrimination against blind passengers during
the 1980s and early 90s. However, I recognize that this may have changed in
recent years. I look forward to reading any insights you can share.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris Nusbaum

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations for blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Chris,
I flew from Austin, Texas to New York City roundtrip at two points in
2013. Each Occurrence the flight staff were very helpful and treated
me with dignity and respect. I hope that your upcoming experience with
American Airlines was as pleasant as mine was.

Best

Hi, everyone, 

I'm writing with some information about a fun opportunity to strengthen or augment your independence and travel skills. The Road Lies Ahead is a fun and interactive perceptual mobility workshop led by Daniel Kish. You may have heard of Daniel and his echolocation techniques called flash sonar, and he is also a certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist. Through a variety of games and activities the program will teach you and your brain to listen to your surroundings in a new way. In addition to  the listed activities in the attached curriculum we will be bringing back two original games invented at last year's pilot program. One is somewhat like capture the flag using sound beacons and water pistols we call Black Ops, and the other is a blend of soccer and tag which is like an adapted version of Quidditch. The pilot program was very fun in addition to being educational. Please see below for more information. Hope to see you there.

Hello again,
 
Thank you for your responses. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend either meeting; however I think I can make the one scheduled for 1:00pm EDT on Tuesday July 7.  What is the telephone number and access code for that?
 
I am interested in producing music.  I hope we can discuss this at the meeting.
 
As I am planning to study in Canada perhaps the NFB scholarship is not an option.  I am still researching funds that I would be eligible for if anyone has any ideas...
 
  It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to this year's convention after all. Perhaps, I could apply for the Kenneth Jernigan First Time Attendee Scholarship to go next year.  How do I apply for that one? and, What is the deadline?

Hi,

The application for Jernigan funds typically involves an essay and a letter from an affiliate president, though you might have to see if someone from the Canadian NFB or a state affiliate president would handle your case. It's not bad at all. The deadline is typically April 15th, and is announced a few months prior in The Braille Monitor, our monthly publication which you can read for free online. 

Hope this helps,

Hello,

I have just signed up to take a graduate level writing course in the fall semester. The professor has sent me the syllabus and he has his students use the my comp lab website to work on their writing skills. Does anyone know if the site is accessible with JAWS? I have looked at it as much as you can without logging in. There are extensive instructions for using it with ZoomText, but not really anything about JAWS.

Thanks for your help.
Kendra

Two things, the security scanning is run by a federal agency, not 
airlines, so there should be no difference.  Personally I think we 
should be agreeable about having our canes scanned, we as blind 
people don't want to be seen as a henderence to security.

As to your second concern, there are good stories and horror stories 
with each airline, including Southwest.  Overall, there are probably 
better and worse, but part of the problem is the individual 
inconsistency.  With any large organization, it is hard to  train 
everybody well, and have people act in the same way, interpret things 
the same way etc.

Chris,
I will second what Dave said. You can have great experiences with airline staff, or terrible experiences with airline staff, and I don't really think that's very attributable to the specific airline you are using. Incidentally, when I deal with airport/airline personnel, I find that my experiences are either very positive, with employees who treat me better than most people do… Or very terrible, with employees who treat me much worse than most people do. It tends to either be one extreme or the other, very rarely just middle of the road. This has been my experience, anyhow,
Best,
Kirts

Message-ID: <95F90B5C-3477-4266-9E38-F9F5718AEF4F@gmail.com>

Hi All,

I hope this message finds you well. I have an iPhone 6 with iOS8 as the operating system. I have recently started noticing that VoiceOver doesn't work as smoothly as it ought to at crucial junctures and becomes slow and unresponsive.
More specifically, it often becomes completely silent on the receipt of a new call or immediately after disconnecting a call. It also acts sluggishly on some webpages. Why could this be happening, and what can I do to fix it?
Also, is there a better way to disconnect calls than pressing the end call button which can sometimes be time-consuming. In iOS7, you could disconnect a call by locking the screen, but that doesn't seem to work in iOS8. Any thoughts?

Best,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

I don't know about the acting sluggishly part, though I would 
suggest going into the app switcher and turning off all your apps 
and then turning the phone off and on again.  As for hanging up, 
the two finger double tap both accepts and hangs up calls.  It's 
really a quite useful command because it starts and stops 
anything you have going on including videos, music, etc.

Best,
Karl

Dear Students,

I'd like to give you an update on my independence.  This week I 
found my way from the library to the parking lot to meet my dad 
all on my own.  On Tuesday morning I found my way from the 
parking lot to the library all on my own.  When I entered the 
main entrance to the library I found the couch that I sit on and 
made myself comfortable until it was time to go down to my 
volunteering position.  This is another small step towards 
improving my independence.

Hi, I have 8 hiden appointnesss on my braillenqe apex.  In 
addition to "You have no future appointness scheduled," I get  
"The next alarm is scheduled to ring today at 12 30 pm.  When I 
check the planner there really is 0 appointments.  When I go to 
the planner utility I get "8 records can be restored, orriginal 
database reported 8 records copy repaired planner over existing 
planner?" I hit yes.  Then it asks "Do you wish to back up your 
old planner before replacing it?" I hit not for no.  I get "Could 
not copy planner files, please check you have enough free space 
on your flath dibbk, or press reset with 1-2-3 and try again." I 
had free space and did a1-2-3 reset and it still says that I have 
appinttments in the planmer.  The next option is a flsh disk 
ermat.  But I will loose everyshing.  Is there a way to bypass 
this?

Hi All,
Due to unfortunate events, my original roommate is not able to attend convention this year. Please let me know if you or someone you know needs a roommate from July 5th to the 11th. Just so you are aware, I am a nineteen-year-old guide dog user.
Email me off list with any questions you may have.
All my best,
Lizzy

Good afternoon,            Could anyone suggest a magnifier app. When reading print, I typically use a dome magnifying glass, so I would prefer an app that does not require distance from a paper for clarity and magnification.

If you are using an iPhone they are two that I would highly recommend. Vision assist and visor.

Good afternoon,

 

I have been contacted by a blind student who is interested in pursuing a
master's degree. She has to take the PRAXIS 1 and 2 tests to gain admission
to the program she is interested in. She is wondering if there are any other
blind students who have taken the PRAXIS 1 and/or 2 tests who would be
willing to share their experiences and offer suggestions on managing the
text. Any leads on accessible practice materials would also be very much
appreciated. If you are willing and able to help, please just send me a
message and I will put you in touch.

 

Thanks,

 

Sean

Hey Hindley, is it too late?  I missed noon because of work. 

Massabs will be selling NFB happy 75th birthday buttons for our convention fundraiser. 

We had two Jurnigan Fund winners, Meaghan Roper and Dylan Hedtler-Gaudetre, and we will have 4 first time convention attendees in Orlando next month.

Dear Students,

Today during my volunteering hours I had the opportunity to 
attend a webinar that discussed untiversal design for learning.  
One of the things so the speaker discussed was the 
student-teacher relationship.  As blind students how did you work 
to create a good relationship that your TVI's and regular 
teachers? Hope to hear from you soon.

Message-ID: <55811974.7040201@gmail.com>

     Hello. My name is Jessica Hodges and I recently discovered this 
list. I will be going in to twelfth grade, and am going into College and 
high school courses next year to try and get some college credit. Any 
questions are welcome, I am happy to help however I can. However, I also 
have one question for the list. Higher math is required to get somewhere 
in university, and this is always something I have struggled with. In 
doing research, it has appeared that a braille sense would help greatly 
in this, as it eliminates a step between doing a math assignment and 
turning it in. It would also allow me to be able to do math portably. 
Does anyone here know of a way to get one? I have asked my state 
organization, and they are willing to help, but not until the end of 
next year. My school has flatly refused, and college is looking into 
trying to get one but I wouldn't be able to take it off the college 
campus. The Braille sense would also reinvigorate my interest in reading 
braille, which has petered out as I have come to rely heavily on 
electronics, as well as making mathematical and scientific equations 
easy to manipulate and understand. This would also improve spelling 
errors which would make me a more productive typest. I don't mind 
waiting until spring of next year, but I feel that it would be really 
useful in my school career. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Jessica.

Hi Jessica,
  I certainly do agree that voc rehab is who you want to ask when you  are exiting high school.
 I feel like this is probably something that  can be  asked for in an   IEP if you haven’t done one for your final year just yet.
  keep the questions coming and we’ll do our best to keep the answers coming.
 Welcome to the list!

Hello, thank you for your responses. I am planning on asking for one after high school, but I am planning on going into pre-calculus next year, and could really use it before a leave high school. Also, I have already asked my school district for one, and they have told me it was not an option. If anyone is trying to sell a Braille sense do please let me know, as I am looking for one.
Thank you for all of the welcomes and trying to help me with this difficulty.
Jessica

It could also be an option to try and find a different type of notetaker, like a braille note.

Hi Jessica. Can you get the school to put their reasons for refusing
the Braille Sense in writing, and find out what they want you to use
instead? Was this discussed at your last IEP meeting? If not, you may
want to organize another IEP meeting to talk about your accommodations
for precalculus and argue that a Braille notetaker would be the best
choice. If you are 18 years old you can organize the meeting yourself.
If not, ask your parents to set up a meeting or at least to get a
written statement from your TVI about why you are being denied the
technology.
Arielle

Hi. They claim it is too expensive and say that the brailler works just 
as well. I would reorganize an I E P, but school is already over for me 
this year. I am 18, so if necessary I can reorganize another meeting. I 
have asked everyone I can think to ask, and they are aware of the 
problem. But it doesn't  look optimistic. I have been told its 
impossible due to cost on several occasions, though they are trying to 
help me lobby it through to my organization.

Jessica.

So legally, they're not allowed to say that cost is a reason not to
give you one. I wonder if there is anywhere in your state where the
school could borrow a Braille Sense for you since it's just for one
year. What state are you in?
I would argue that using the Brailler is very cumbersome since the
work would end up on multiple Braille pages. Does your TVI transcribe
your Braille work or how does your teacher grade it?

Typically, I read my answers out to someone, and she transcribes them into print. It is cumbersome to say the least, especially as they will not have access to this next year. The college is looking into trying to find a Brailleest, I don't know if they have one or not. I live in Washington state. My school has looked into borrowing one, but the place they typically lend things from doesn't have one. Thank you so much for trying to help me, I really appreciate it

Subject: [nabs-l] Braille note apex BT 32 for sale
Message-ID: <8FD1649A-A500-47C7-8770-E3F9FE838FB1@gmail.com>

Hey guys,
I have a braillenote apex BT 32 for sale. I have sendero gps license along with a 32gbSD card. It also has a leather carrying case. Everything works fine and the braille cells are fine. I am asking $2.010 this includes shipping to you. A brand new unit would cost $5.000 more than 50% of the iriginal price. 


Thanks,
Aaron

Dear Students,

I hope you are all having a wonderful Father's Day weekend.  I 
wanted to share another update on my independence.  This week I 
ordered and paid for my own food at the Chick Fil A on the UCF 
campus.  I used my ID card to pay for the food.  I also walked 
from the parking lot to the library and found the seat where I 
usually sit each day.  These are small steps toward improving my 
independence.

Hi Jimmy,

Do you know if my comp lab is accessible with JAWS? I am taking a writing course next semester and the professor requires use of this tutorial site to help improve skills.

Thanks,
Kendra

Hi Petras,

Phone numbers should be written with a plus sign, then the country code, then a space, then the area code in parentheses, then a space, then the prefix (first three numbers) a dash and then the last four numbers.  For example: +1 (555) 555-5555.  Hope that helps.

Good afternoon,
Typically, one would put the area code then a hyphen then the next three numbers then a hyphen and finally the last four digits of your phone number. Keep in mind, spaces are not needed.
Best,
Kathryn

You don't need any of that on an iPhone. You don't even need it on most smart phones. That's all just formatting to make phone numbers easy for people to read. To send a text, just type the number out digit by digit. No hyphens. No parentheses. No spaces. Just the numbers. The phone knows what to do with it. If you fuss with all the formatting, you're more likely to make mistakes and fail to send your message. 

Best,

Jamie

It depends on what you're trying to do.  If you're talking about
inputting the numbers in the to field of your text message, you 
just put in the numbers without any spaces or hyphens or 
anything.  An IPhone will format it with the area code in 
parenthesis then a space and the first three digits followed by a 
hyphen and the last four digits, but you don't have to worry 
about that.  If you're texting a number for your friend to read 
in the body of your message, just plain numbers would probably be 
best for them to save to their contacts, but if you want to make 
it pretty put in hyphens.  If this is a friend you're texting, I 
would also suggest saving the number in your contacts and then 
just texting him from there instead of messing around with the 
number when you want to write a text.

 Hi Petras,

 Phone numbers should be written with a plus sign, then the
country code, then a space, then the area code in parentheses,
then a space, then the prefix (first three numbers) a dash and
then the last four numbers.  For example: +1 (555) 555-5555.
Hope that helps.

Hi, today I needed to do a force-shutdown.  Then I got this
error: "Windows didn't shut down successfully, would you like to
turn it on in safe mode? Í am blind, but jaws doesn't even say
it? I hit enter.  Then the fan just spins at a high speed and
scren stays black.  I usually have to do many additional
force-shut dowss to get it back on.  Whth is it doing that
sometimesen

Our setting is a few minutes from the Detroit metropolitan Airport (DTW) and housing will be at the Doubletree Hotel in Dearborn.  Thanks to generous grant support there is no charge for this week of fun and science.  Everything is first-class.

Please feel free to contact them there and catch their enthusiasm for acquainting blind youth with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.  Attached is the application form and more details for the Sensational Adventures in Summer Science program.  The target group is middle and high school aged students.  Please return applications ASAP to one of the two addresses in the cc field of this email.  Phone numbers for more information are on both attached documents.

Petras,

If you're typing the phone number into the "to" field of a text message, you need only type the numbers themselves. For example: 4435472409. If you are writing a phone number into a text, email, etc, the instructions provided by Ryan and/or Kathryn will apply. In the latter case I usually write the area code in parentheses, followed by the exchange, then a hyphen, then the last 4 digits. For example: (443) 547-2409. Please note that the number I'm using in both examples is my own.

HTH,

Chris Nusbaum

No, it's all phones.  Putting the numbers in the to field of a 
text is exactly like dialing someone's number.  You wouldn't put 
spaces or dashes or any other weird things in between the numbers 
when you dial, so you don't do it in the to field either.  is

Not unless it's an international number. If it's another US number, the +1 will be filled in already.

Message-ID: <5589b15d.c280460a.55cf.22e8@mx.google.com>

Hi, my toshiba windows 7 wont turn on unless it's plugged in.  I 
didn't ev use it for a whole year and my battery appears to be 
acting up.  If I unplug it, I am able to turn it on without the 
charger.  After a day, the battery is dead and cannot turn on.  
The battery is really again 95 percent or igher, doesn't matter 
what percentage.  If I use it after almost a day passed by, the 
system will crash in the middle of what I'm doing and will need 
to be plugged in.  This isn't safe if it was installing an 
update.  It also would be a problem, because I could be syncing 
my phone, then it turns off in the middle.  Please help!!!

You can just type in your model on Amazon and the word battery and buy a new battery. Or you could just use your laptop as a desktop plugged into the wall with the battery removed

Well, it seems to run well with the battery with normal use.  But 
it will shut down.  It will shut down 24 hours from unplugging 
the adapter.  If it was off, then it's dead.

You can just type in your model on Amazon and the word battery 
and buy a new battery.  Or you could just use your laptop as a 
desktop plugged into the wall with the battery removed

Basically you need a new battery if you want to get substantial use of
it without being connected to the charger.  Batteries decay when they
don't regularly go through their decharge and charge cycles, such as
from lack of use or from being plugged into the charger too much.  If
you don't want to buy a new battery to use it like a normal laptop the
other option as Syed pointed out is to use the computer like a desktop
and keep it plugged into the wall without the battery in the computer.

I'm saying that the laptop works for the entire day.  But the 
next day it's dead.  So I need to charge it every 24 hours.

It still sounds like a bum battery.  Whether it works for a day or
not, the normal discharge and recharge cycle is off.  Unless you want
to deal with the hassle of always recharging your battery like this,
which I guess you don't since you posted about it, getting a new
battery that will work properly is probably your best option.

Subject: [nabs-l] I'm graduating from high school tonight!
Message-ID: <0NQG0078RMS3X5W0@vms173019.mailsrvcs.net>

Hi all,

I hope everyone's having a great end of semester and are enjoying 
your summer!

I just want to let you guys know that I've just come to an end of 
my senior year of high school, and will be graduating tonight.  
I'm really  looking forward to the  ceremony, and am also excited 
about moving on, with blindness training and then going to 
college to study foreign languages (while also at the same time a

Hi all,

I hope everyone's having a great end of semester and are enjoying your
summer!

I just want to let you guys know that I've just come to an end of my senior
year of high school, and will be graduating tonight.  
I'm really  looking forward to the  ceremony, and am also excited about
moving on, with blindness training and then going to college to study
foreign languages (while also at the same time a little sad to be leaving
school and all the nice people there).  
I'm also really glad because tonight I will be getting one of the highest

Subject: [nabs-l] Seeking Advice on BrailleNote Apex Issue
Message-ID: <8D27D2B205FC5F0-BB0-FD06A@webmail-vm129.sysops.aol.com>

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an advice on BrailleNote Apex cleaning.
My current device has been used about 2 years now. In the two years, I 
haven't had it get checked or cleaned. So far the software has been 
running without much noticeable problem.
Only a few potential problems that stand out to me are keys not being 
as smooth and inconsistency in Braille display in terms of how strong 
dots are. However, it is not to the point I am having a difficult time 
reading.
Since it is summer break, I do not need to use Apex as much as when I 
am in school, so I am considering to send it in for cleaning to 
Humanware.
If anyone is knowledgeable and/or have experienced similar situation, 
would you say that sending it in for cleaning and diagnostics can 
prevent future problems?
The worst case scenario for me is BrailleNote Apex suddenly having 
problems that hinder my full usage in the middle of a school year.
Again, I am just trying to see if sending it in for now when I don't 
have much significant problem with the device would be beneficial and 
preventive measure for future problems.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best,
Miso  Kwak

Hi Miso.  I'd suggest, if you can aford the price, sending in your
apex for cleaning and checking would be a great idea.  It would not be
good if in the middle of your school year when you really needed it
that something very wrong were to happen to it.  The price would be
even higher, and you'd also be without your apex for at least 2 to
three weeks while it was getting looked at.  Hope this helps.

It would be wise to clean it during Summer vacations when you

Miso,
This would be a smart idea.  I usually try to send mine in every 
two years during the summer, even if there aren't any significant 
problems.  You're right that it is likely to break down during 
the year, and then you won't have it for about a month.

Subject: [nabs-l] Seeking Advice on BrailleNote Apex Issue

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an advice on BrailleNote Apex cleaning.
My current device has been used about 2 years now.  In the two 
years, I
haven't had it get checked or cleaned.  So far the software has 
been
running without much noticeable problem.
Only a few potential problems that stand out to me are keys not 
being
as smooth and inconsistency in Braille display in terms of how 
strong
dots are.  However, it is not to the point I am having a 
difficult time
reading.
Since it is summer break, I do not need to use Apex as much as 
when I
am in school, so I am considering to send it in for cleaning to
Humanware.
If anyone is knowledgeable and/or have experienced similar 
situation,
would you say that sending it in for cleaning and diagnostics can
prevent future problems?
The worst case scenario for me is BrailleNote Apex suddenly 
having
problems that hinder my full usage in the middle of a school 
year.
Again, I am just trying to see if sending it in for now when I 
don't
have much significant problem with the device would be beneficial 
and
preventive measure for future problems.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best,
Miso  Kwak

Hello Bobby,
I know of one service that offers a very good payment plan for purchasing a Mac.
If you go to www.simply.ca, give them a call, you can discuss payment options. They service both Canada and the U.S.

God bless.

I'm really  looking forward to the  ceremony, and am also excited about moving on, with blindness training and then going to college to study foreign languages (while also at the same time a little sad to be leaving school and all the nice people there).  I'm also really glad because tonight I will be getting one of the highest high school diplomas that you can get here in the state of New York.

Hi all,
 I just wanted to throw something out there for the sake of  discussion.
 I saw a note in my inbox from a blind person about an event they are taking part in. The event is not so important here as is something he said in the note that got me thinking.
 The person suggested in his  note that the white cane  with it’s   black rubber grip and  red tip is a “national symbol of blindness”.
 In your view, is this accurate? inaccurate? is there a symbol? multiple symbols?
 Thanks for humoring  me. 
  Take care,
    Darian

Darian no, I don't see this as being particularly accurate… There is no symbolic Way to represent all of, or even the majority of blind people in America.

I definitely think the white cane with the red tip is a symbol of 
blindness. Not all blind people use canes, but I think it's fair 
to say that most do, and a symbol doesn't have to apply to every 
single person. If a sighted person is walking down the street and 
sees a white cane, he/she automatically thinks, "Blind person." 
That's what a symbol is--an image or object that makes one think 
of something else.
     In my opinion, the white cane symbolizes more than just a 
lack of vision. To blind people, it symbolizes independence. It 
symbolizes our freedom to, in the words of the NFB, live the life 
we want. The same could be said for things like braille and guide 
dogs.

I think there's something to the idea of it being a symbol.  It's
why the NFB has a "White Cane Fund" after all, and it's why the
Lions raise money by handing out little plastic canes (don't take
this as an endorsement of the latter).  Of course, many blind
people don't use canes, but there are plenty of Americans who
don't like apple pie too.

I love the fact that the cane is a national symbol of story kindness

Hi, everyone,

I am so sorry my last message on this topic didn't go through.  I
received the message shortly before leaving the country and tried to
get it sent out in a hurry.  I don't know why the attachments didn't
show up as they should have, but here they are.  I appologize for any
inconvenience and thank you for your patience, as now I'm finally
reunited with my computer and can fix the issue.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me.  I can answer
from the perspective of a counselor in last year's pilot program and
as a student of other Blind Vision Inc. and World Access for the Blind
partnership projects.  Brunhilde Merk-Adam is the administrative head
of the program and should be contacted for applications and any
questions you might have for her.  Her email is included in these
materials.

Thanks, and I hope to see some students this message might reach there!

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

Greetings on behalf of the performing Arts Division, we hope this note finds
you well!

Prepare to dance! In anticipation of the 75th anniversary ball Come join the
Performing Arts Division in a swing dancing lesson! You'll learn the history
of swing along with a few easy steps. It is a partner activity so we will
need a variety of people to make this a success! No dance experience
necessary - all are welcome! It will be held on Tuesday, July 7th from
2:30-4:00 in Salon 14.

We look forward to celebrating this convention with you. 

For questions e-mail: nfbpad at gmail.com with the subject line, (swing dancing
lesson) 

Best,

Katelyn MacIntyre, Elizabeth Muhammad

expectations of blind people because lo expectations create opsticals
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

This sounds like an issue with Bookshare—perhaps the page is down or there is a problem with the server. I would email Bookshare support and report the error.

To prepare for returning to school, I faithfully read all my 
summer reading books. Also, my teachers often send me a list of 
textbooks and, in the case of my English teacher, reading books 
that we'll be using throughout the year. I download all of these 
from Bookshare if possible over the summer. I've heard of people 
meeting with their teachers in the summer, but I just wing it. I 
introduce myself on the firt day of school, and over the next 
couple of weeks, I gradually explain how they can help me be 
successful in their class. I prefer not to do all this explaining 
in one sitting so as not to overwhelm them with new information. 
Usually, teachers are a bit nervous about teaching The Blind 
Girl, but (I'm not trying to brag here) I do pretty well 
academically and have a mostly easygoing personality, so they get 
comfortable around me within the first two or three weeks.

Hi all,

This is regarding a virtual accessible file conversion project that a
few of us are working on. To make the correct decisions, we need to
understand the current situation of accessibility and user
preferences, and would really appreciate if you could complete this
short survey located at http://goo.gl/forms/ZIZQ0gUpbC. We hope to get
your perspectives.

If you would like to know more about the project, feel free to reach out.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I email all my professors to get book list and syllabus if it is ready. I
make sure all of my books pdfs have either been secured from the publisher
or scanned in before the semester starts. I meet with someone from building
operations and have electric extensions run to my seat. I use a magnilink
cctv connected to my laptop to see the board and it kills my battery in an
hour so I need electricity. I will usually meet with my professors prior to
the semester starting to arrange receiving PowerPoint slides in advance of
the lecture and so they make sure any in class assignments are large
printed for me. I discuss testing and together we decide whether testing in
class in large print will work or if I need to test at DSS and use the
CCTV. I found the CCTV option the best for the 3 years of Calculus and many
of the programming classes. The large print provided isn't sufficient to
tell a parenthesis from a curly brace.

The national center folks tell me that this arrangement will continue. The general sessions, board meeting and banquet will be streamed on the Nfb website. No word on the nabs meeting so far as I am aware.

Hi Miso thanks quite your message.  You do not need to send your 
Apex into Humanware to have it cleaned.  You can clean the 
braille display using a paper towel and Isopropyl rubbing 
Alcohol.  The rubbing alcohol takes out the dust that's on the 
display from your fingers.

Message-ID: <0NQN000T6UWJ4C80@vms173025.mailsrvcs.net>

Hi all,

The convention streaming also airs on an app called iBlink Radio.  
Some of you may have heard of it.  It's an app for the IOS 
operating system that broadcasts related to technology and 
anything else blindness-related, including the convention 
streaming.  I know because I actually listened to some of last 
year's banquet via iBlink Radio.  I won't be able to this year, 
though, because we'll be in Spain and the banquet will be late at 
night (six hours ahead of UddS.  Eastern Daylight time).  I'm 
just writing to let you know of another way you can access the 
streaming directly.

I've never listened to the stream on the NFB's website, but I'm 
guessing that downloading iBlink Radio from the Apple App Store 
and accessing it from there is easier to do, since all you have 
to do is open the app and choose to listen to the stream, which, 
I believe, is one of the first options displayed.  Correct me if 
I'm wrong here, but I suppose that to stream via the NFB's 
website is more complicated, as you probably have to click on 
several links and open various webpages to get to the stream.

I just thought I'd let everyone know of a simpler (at least for 
me) way to access the convention stream.

Have a wonderful time at convention, whether you're listening to 
it or attending!

Sami

Hello All,

Someone asked a question on tonight's membership conference call about
online streaming for national convention. If for some reason you are not
able to attend the national convention, and would like to listen to parts of
it online, please visit https://nfb.org/convention-streaming-schedule. This
page has all the information you will need for listening to the online
stream.

However, please note this does not include the NABS business meeting. There
was no discussion about online streaming for the NABS business meeting
during the membership conference call. So please keep an eye out for any
further announcements regarding the NABS business meeting. I am sure if
online streaming or recording becomes available for the NABS business
meeting that an announcement about it will be posted to the email list.

Anyway, I hope this information helps those who are not able to attend
national convention.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Message-ID: <024001d0b214$458bbc20$d0a33460$@gmail.com>

Good evening Federation family!!!

 

                With one week until the 75th Anniversary of the National
Federation of the Blind, get ready for the National Association of Blind
Students' fund-raiser that everyone can be apart of!

During Exhibit Hall hours, NABS will be hosting our first-ever Penny Wars
fund-raiser!

Now, you may be asking yourself, what are penny wars?

Basically, the National Association of Blind Students will have five buckets
set up at our exhibit hall table, B25.

Each bucket will have Braille labels on the bucket, titling which division
said bucket corresponds to. 

The five divisions who will be battling for the buck are: the Lawyers,
Merchants, Parents, Travelers, and Performing Arts divisions. These proud
and strong divisions will be competing head-to-head to win the penny wars.

 

HOW IT WORKS:

Federationists will throw SILVER change and dollars into their favorite
division's bucket, while throwing pennies in the bucket of the division they
hope to beat.

After each day, NABS leaders will count each bucket and provide updates,
DEPENDING ON LOGISTICS. The final tallies will be announced Friday, July
10th.

The winning division will receive 50% of all proceeds collected, while the
National Association of Blind Students will take home the other half.

 

THE SCORING:

Pennies are worth -5, so they will negatively impact any division that
receives them.

Nickels will count as five points, dimes as ten, quarters as twenty-five,
single dollars as 100 points, and so on.

 

Get ready for a heated competition between five incredible national
divisions!

 

Questions?

Feel free to contact Candice Chapman, Kathryn Webster, or Derek Manners.

 

Brace yourself for an unforgettable Convention and don't forget to stop by
the NABS table during Exhibit Hall hours!!!

 

Love,

Kathryn Webster

Subject: [nabs-l] Online Streaming for National Convention

Hello All,

Someone asked a question on tonight's membership conference call about
online streaming for national convention. If for some reason you are not
able to attend the national convention, and would like to listen to parts of
it online, please visit https://nfb.org/convention-streaming-schedule. This
page has all the information you will need for listening to the online
stream.

However, please note this does not include the NABS business meeting. There
was no discussion about online streaming for the NABS business meeting
during the membership conference call. So please keep an eye out for any
further announcements regarding the NABS business meeting. I am sure if
online streaming or recording becomes available for the NABS business
meeting that an announcement about it will be posted to the email list.

Anyway, I hope this information helps those who are not able to attend
national convention.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth
