State Updates All updates are printed below as they were received from their senders. Arizona: Greetings from your Arizona students. The new year has officially been welcomed with January business out of the way, and February underway. Following a very challenging but still very productive Washington Seminar we are proud to report that we were able to send 9 Arizonians to our nations capital including two of our students division board. Along with our advocacy work on Capital Hill we are working hard to continue our advocacy work locally during our Phoenix Seminar. Finally the students division is organizing a students seminar with a theme of "Transitioning". We are going to have break out sessions, presenters, and a panel to discuss everything from transitioning from high school to college, college to the work place, training facilities to the work place, and even some health and wellness, and NFB philosophy. We are working towards 50 student participants from all over Arizona. Thank you all for taking the time to read our state updates and lets go live the life we want. Colorado: Now that our Broncos have won the superbowl, we have winners for our NFL playoffs pool fundraiser. Congratulations to Richie Flores from Texas for coming in second place, and Karen Rogers from Colorado for a first place win! The division is planning an informative student seminar for April where we plan to talk about many topics related to being a successful blind student. We are also starting to plan a membership outreach event in Boulder, in order to reach out to new students. With the NFB's Colorado Center for the Blind close by, we are able to work with them in many ways, including mentoring and education at the Colorado School for the Blind, working with younger students in Denver to facilitate fun activities that teach skills and positive philosophy, and speaking to the center students on different topics important to blind students. We are experiencing membership growth and looking forward to what is to come! Maryland: The Maryland Association of Blind Students continues to focus our energy on membership growth and rebuilding. To begin this process, our Membership/Communications Committee held our division's first membership call on February 20. In this call, participants got a chance to meet the current MDABS Board, learn about our committees and the work they do, and share their ideas with our leaders. Though attendance was a bit lower than expected, we were able to introduce a few enthusiastic new members to the work of the organization, in which they were eager to get involved. Our Board is also beginning to make plans for a student seminar focused on independent living skills, to be held in early May. Stay tuned for more information on this seminar as we get logistics worked out. Massachusetts: MASSABS is excited to report that 5 of the 8 NFBMA members in attendance at Washington Seminar were students, two of whom were there for the first time including Meaghan Roper and Dylan Hedtler Gaudette, President Precious Perez also endured 7 flight cancellations to make it. Our state convention is Feb. 26-28 in Boston and we will be electing a new board. We are very excited to have Kathryn Webster as our NABS Rep. In addition, we have 50/50 raffle tickets for sale that are already up to about $250 in prize money and climbing. If you want to buy some, contact Derek Manners at derekmanners at gmail.com and he can take your order via PayPal. Finally, we will be auctioning off some 3D printed items as well as some fudge and cookies made by our talented baker, Secretary Meaghan Roper. New Jersey: In January NJABS raised about 200 dollars conducting a raffle at the NFBNJ holiday party put on by the state affiliate. NJABS is also planning our first seminar with the newly elected board. NJABS is also working with PABS to put on this seminar. It should be a great collaboration and we are looking forward to a great event. Texas: The Texas Association of Blind students in conjunction with the Texas Parents of Blind Children will be holding our annual youth conference in Dallas, April 8-10. The conference is for Parents of blind children, blind students, and related professionals to come together during this exciting weekend to network, learn, and have lots of fun! We will have exhibits, a reception, an open TABS board meeting, a joint session for parents, students, and professionals, a formal luncheon, breakout sessions for students and parents, a recreational trip, and more. We are pleased to welcome Jeannie Massay from Oklahoma as our national representative. This is always an exciting time here in Texas, and this year will not be any different.

A huge thank you to President Riccobono for combining the reception and the NABS Café into one event; and for the match from National in order to get more than 20 students who would otherwise have not attended due to financial burden. Chris will send thank you emails to each presenter from our NABS meeting. We made great connections with various affiliate leaders and student leaders; and thank you for joining us in Washington DC! State Updates Hindley: Alaska does not have a student division, but Hindley keeps them in the loop. Attending a few conference calls. Vermont is harder to keep in touch with. Garret: Garret is working closely with California, Colorado, and Arizona. Arizona is going to have a student seminar on April 9. Colorado is having a student seminar next week. There is a new student president in Arizona as of this week. Garret is helping states build relationships with affiliate leadership. Chris: Maryland had their first membership call of the year last night. Michigan is doing well with their new president; working on a seminar. Illinois is having a student seminar this spring. Difficulty contacting New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Michael: Working closely with Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette with Maine. Nevada and Ohio are working closely with Michael. South Carolina is doing well. Oklahoma is having a student seminar in conjunction with the Oklahoma affiliate. Mid-Year Review/Moving Forward Communications: NABS Notes: going well. Let Hindley know if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns. NABS Notes have been effectively blasted across our database, discussion list, and master list. Social media: Doing a solid job. NABS Notes and blog posts are broadcasted on social media. Chris and other board members need to do more blindness articles to trigger discussions. Chris should work on putting out more NABS updates on social media. Get photos and captions to Chris while we are NABS Repping at various State Conventions. Slate blog posts: They are becoming more and more consistent. We are posting at least once a month. We would love for more ideas or articles to post. We should revamp the student division spotlight post for different states once a month. Kathryn will look into creating a comment section for the blog. Fundraising: Have done a great job! We still have our GoFundMe page. Kathryn will post an update that advertises NABS from an organization standpoint, more so than the one initiative to raise money for Wash Sem. We are awaiting the $240 from the Applebee’s fundraiser and the amount for the Chipotle one in California. Kathryn is going to coordinate a 5-k walk/run at Wake Forest to raise money toward National Convention expenses. We could look into grant writing if money gets tight in the future, but we are doing very well as of right now. Membership: We have our scholarship membership call on Sunday, February 28 at 7pm eastern. Join Scholarship Committee Chair Patti Chang to get all of your questions answered! NABS Reps: Kathryn will be in Massachusetts this coming weekend; Bre in Alabama the following weekend; And Michael in Idaho at the end of April.

Thanks for reading, and we’ll be back in March. 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. NABS Notes February 2016 The National Association of Blind Students -- A proud division of the National Federation of the Blind.

My instructor for biology 1040 uses an online plattform called sapling in order to post assignments for extra credit. I was able to create an account, and purchase access to the class for this semester. However, when I attempt to open an assignment to complete it, I am unable too. I asked one of the other guys on my floor who was familiar with sapling, and he told me that it doesn't run on mac. I did some research, and found that it will work just fine with safari on Mac, but I need flash player in order to access the assignments. I installed flash player, and went through the steps shown online in order to enable the flash player plugin with safari. I am still unable to access my assignments. Should I install windows on my mac? Or, have any of you ever used sapling with the Mac? I am using a Macbbook air and running the latest version of OSX.

My name is Kennedy Stomberg, and I am a biology student at student at Coe College. I have used the software, and here is what I can tell you. Installing windows on your computer will probably not help, I am having the exact same problems, and I use windows. It is honestly gotten to the point where I have had to hire an assistant to help me with assignments on Sapling. You mentioned that these assignments are extra credit? I recommend that you talk to your professor, and explain the situation. Then you should ask if there's another way to get the extra credit. Because honestly I don't think that the software is worth it. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, about the software or about biology in general. I am happy to help!

The problem that I am facing is that JAWS often stops speaking in the middle of a sentence even when I press the keystroke to make it work in the say all mode. Further, in Firefox, it repeatedly loses focus and I have to constantly keep pressing alt-tab to bring it back into the window that I am working in. Strangely, this problem doesn't appear in IE. The say all problem, however, isn't limited to Firefox. Any thoughts?

You would also use italics for table and figure numbers. If your methods section has several layers of subheadings, you would italicize the third level and below, but in a college research paper, you probably won't need to worry about that. So I think it's just the journal or book title and volume number in the reference list, and on the table and figure numbers. Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

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.

You can also use insert f1 key combination to make jaws read your margins, font or running head etc. When you press insert f1, jaws reads you the formatting features of the documents. It brings a new window that you can navigate by word or line. It becomes a readable area. I use it to grade my student’s papers for the APA formatting as well as checking my hws. You can also use insert pluss F to read formatting, and the font information. Insert F key combination will also tell you whether it is bolded italicized etc. Please feel free to ask anything that you are not clear. Justin also told us how to make the running head before so you can access it as well. 2016-03-01 20:18 GMT-07:00, Arielle Silverman via nabs-l : > It's just the letter r, lower-case and italicized. > Arielle > > On 3/1/16, Christina Moore via nabs-l wrote: >> That does help. >> Do you know the symbol for correlation?

I am very new to Excel and while I have had some classes on it, they only covered basics such as budgeting Etc. I am currently trying to figure out how to have JAWS read charts and graphs and to label charts and graphs. Every time I am on a chart or graph, I find that JAWS does not say anything and so I am unsure how to interact with the chart or graph and label the parts I need to label. If anyone knows where I can find a free very useful resource on Excel with JAWS, please let me know. If you know how to do this, please share those tips too. Thanks.

Excel charts usually have a sheet associated with them that contains the actual data. You can try opening the chart and then pressing control-page up or page down to see if there is a data sheet associated with the chart. If you are the one creating the chart from scratch, you will create the data worksheet first, insert the chart and then you can click on an axis to label it. I think it may be worthwhile to recruit a reader for jus 15-20 minutes to help with the labeling.

There's not an accessible way that I know of to label specific sections of the chart. The question I ask is: how is the chart situated? With Excel, you can place the chart on its own chart sheet, or you can embed the chart or graph in the same worksheet as your data. If you have any questions, please email me at: kidbrailler at aol.com, and I'll help you as best as I am able.

If you are the one creating the chart from scratch, you will create the data worksheet first, insert the chart and then you can click on an axis to label it.

You can add axes titles by going to the chart tools design tab on the ribon, click the add chart elements button, (this should be the first option once you reach the lower ribon section. When you click this button, a list of options will appear. Arrow down, until JFW anounces: "Axis titles submenu." In the same way, you can add your own axis by following steps similar to the ones I described above. This will require sighted help.

I don't know if that is still the case with newer versions of Excel or if a sighted person needs to click the chart element you want to label. Generally when I create charts, I use sighted help anyway to make sure that the axes are visually scaling correctly so that differences in the heights of columns are apparent. I prefer to enter the data and then ask a sighted person for ten minutes of help making a chart. The sighted helper doesn't necessarily need to be an Excel whiz but should know the basics-even a family member or friend over the phone could help you if you email your paper to them. That said, if someone has figured outhow to make an Excel chart completely independently that was acceptable to a sighted instructor or other audience, I'd love to learn.

To label some graphs and insure the spacing is right, you need sighted assistance. I was taught that you can make simple charts by filling out some dialogue box; forgot which ribon its under. But, you cannot label everything; for pie charts, you need to draw arrows with a mouse that point to your labels. So, its semi accessible. I would use a reader if at all possible for some of it.

Does the thought of inventing a summertime camp experience that makes the extraordinary ordinary make you restless to work with a like-minded team? Then perhaps this summer you might want to join our spirited camp in the rolling Napa foothills and have some fun while doing a whole lot of good. Since 1950, LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired has hosted thousands of blind youth and adults in summertime camp sessions at our lovely 311-acre camp we call Enchanted Hills. Just minutes from renowned wineries and world-class recreation opportunities, the wooded camp offers all the usual summertime activities from swimming to horseback riding, from sports to art. But beyond the summertime fun is a powerful agenda – to increase the self-confidence and self-respect of campers who may often have no other time in the year to meet blind friends and role models who are successful and living an actualized life. Your job will be to make sure campers grow in their own potential while at the same time have a summer experience which is powerfully fun and engaging. We’re looking for people who know how to build camp spirit and contagiously involve all campers to try new activities, sports and blindness techniques. You may not be required to know much about blindness when you start, but we expect that you will quickly learn much about the can-do spirit and techniques which all successful blind people use. So whether your background or interest is in education, psychology, rehabilitation, crafts or sports, if you think you can bring your spirit and knowledge to bear on inventing the best camp ever, we want to hear from you. Camp counselors are part of a 20-person counseling team. We’ll train you, feed you and put you up in good quarters and you’ll finish work on July 31st with roughly $1,400 in your pocket for the six weeks of service. Most counselors have such a profound experience that they often complete the summer wondering why they need to be paid at all.

Riccobono officeofthepresident at nfb.org (410) 659-9314 Dear Fellow Federationists, There are a number of time-sensitive items below. News: March Presidential Release: The March release has been posted to the presidential releases page, https://nfb.org/presidential-releases. Amazon Agreement: We signed an agreement with Amazon wherein they agree to collaborate with us on improvements to their educational content, platforms, and applications, and meet with us on an ongoing basis to review progress and exchange ideas and feedback. Initial results of this collaboration are expected this year. Space Available Legislation: We continue to see movement in our Space Available legislation. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) has introduced S. 2596: the Disabled Veterans Access to Space-A Travel Act. This is the companion bill to H.R. 2264, which will allow all 100 percent service-disabled veterans to access the Space Available Program. Senator Tester (D-MT) was an originating cosponsor. Please encourage your senators to cosponsor S. 2596. The Power of Love: The ebook version of The Power of Love: How Kenneth Jernigan Changed the World for the Blind is now available from iUniverse, Amazon, and other booksellers for $9.99. Ridesharing Dialogue: Ridesharing apps like Lyft and Uber are providing access to safe, reliable, and affordable transportation to many of our members. However, we continue to have difficulty with the accessibility of the apps, and are working to address the discrimination against guide dog users. In order to begin a dialogue with the major providers, we hosted focus groups of blind users of the Lyft and Uber apps during our 2015 National Convention. We are seeking to have an ongoing dialogue with our members who use the service in order to provide real-life user feedback to these companies in order to foster greater accessibility and accountability. We will start with monthly calls, and will be establishing a listserv for ongoing interaction. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please send an email to Jerniganinstitute at nfb.org with the subject line “Ridesharing Focus Group.” 6 Dot Dash: Our fourth annual National Federation of the Blind 6 Dot Dash will be held on Sunday, June 5, at 8:00 a.m. at the NFB Jernigan Institute. The NFB 6 Dot Dash is our annual 6K race that helps raise funds to support the programs and projects that help blind people live the lives they want. Please encourage your family members and friends to register as runners, virtual runners, race team members, or to simply make a donation by visiting https://nfb.org/dot-dash. NOPBC Call: Please join host Melissa Riccobono for our next National Organization of Parents of Blind Children family information call on Wednesday, March 16, 8:00-9:00 p.m. eastern. Call in: (712) 770-4010; access code: 869-131. I will join the call to give my perspective on the value of the national convention for all members of families of blind children. We will also be joined by a parent of a blind child who will share her experiences as a newcomer to the national convention in 2015. Reminders: Summer Internship Program – Deadline Approaching!: As we continue to raise expectations of and for the blind, we realize that we must actively work to empower the next generation of dynamic leaders and innovative thinkers that will dream, develop, and implement the next ground-breaking project or program that changes the lives of all blind people. We seek to accomplish this goal through our National Federation of the Blind Summer Internship program, a unique learning experience that can only be directed by the National Federation of the Blind.

If it's any consolation, no one can actually see electricity flowing through something, so these ideas are pretty abstract for your sighted peers as well. I had some trouble with it, myself, when I first took second semester physics and was introduced to Electricity and Magnetism. One thing that helped me a lot was actually just talking about the ideas with someone who has heard about them before. They don't necessarily have to be an expert, as long as they're willing to listen actively to your description of the idea and ask you questions and basically have a conversation about it the way you would have a conversation about a book or current events. This really helped me figure out exactly what I was not quite understanding and gradually build my own understanding as I explained things to my friend and asked and answered questions about it. The more you talk about an idea, the more it starts to feel natural to you. You might have to combine your talking with research/review of your notes and textbook to fill in any gaps you find in your understanding. Physics isn't like other subjects where reading and listening and memorizing are enough. You can't memorize how an electron works. If you try to, you'll never really feel like it makes sense. To fully understand Physics, you have to engage with it. Talk about it. Question it. Play with the ideas the way children do. If you have any questions or if you're in need of further assistance, you're welcome to e-mail me off list. I am also a professional Math and Physics tutor and would be happy to help you work thought these ideas and make sense of them via pone or Skype if you're interested.

I imagine you would probably still be eligible with the right visa, but Anil can tell you for sure about that. You may want to try calling him at the national center: 410-659-9314. When I was there we stayed in the courtyard rooms which are like spacious dorm rooms (furnished single rooms). We had to buy groceries and prepare our own meals using their kitchen facilities. There's a grocery store in walking distance or a short cab ride away. There is typically a group of interns there at the same time (in my summer we had six). The interns socialized together a lot during free time. We also socialized with some of the young adult staff. You are, of course, free to explore the city on your own too. The inner harbor is close by and is a fun place to hang out. When I was there, public transit was OK but not great. We used a lot of cabs. It may have gotten better since I was there.

Justin Salisbury interned at the JI in 2014. His email address is president at alumni.ecu.edu. He, I'm sure, would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and of course provide much insight into what Baltimore is like. Also, Jeremy Capati interned there last summer. His email address is capati at ramapo.edu. Finally, Hindley Williams of the NABS Board was a 2015 interned and loved the experience. You can reach her at hbwilliams16 at gmail.com. Congratulations on taking the first step toward a great internship this summer!

First, I think that it is important that the list remain all-inclusive. This means, an individual ought not to ever feel as if they are incapable of participating in the discussions, which we all have. Secondarily, I believe that you have provided numerous numbers of posts, which have contributed to answering individual questions. As such, you have contributed to the success of individuals, which is priceless, and, something that I think is an independent reason for you to continue your involvement. Finally, and most importantly (as a philosophy major), I think it is crucial that there exists differing opinions. If everyone always agrees with one another, there exists no room for development or innovation. Only through a comparison of antithetical views (lacking dogmatism, of course), can we discover the truth function of our claims, and then transition into a more perfect view. If everyone agrees with one another, then, we will only observe individuals always preforming the same actions, even if there exists a better alternative. I hope to see more posts from you in the future.

We all have different opinions on everything, if we didn't the world would be a boring place. The problem comes not by you but by people who are to hard headed to understand and grasp your point. These people will always be like that and nobody can change their mind except them. Don't worry about offending others because somebody somewhere, will always get offended by something. Just give your thoughts and let them be. Don't fight or argue with others who will not understand. As a music major and song writer I see this all the time. While some of my collegues have different opinions on my music. That's their opinion and they are free to express it. However, I can decide on how I want to take their opinion.

Our goal with this study is to validate two instruments that will measure reasons why people with visual impairments are (or are not) active. In this study, we focus on factors such as ones intention to be active, attitudes toward activity, and perceived control of being active. These are constructs derived from the Theory of Planned behavior. The reason we are focusing specifically on individuals with visual impairments is that typically, researchers will use instruments that may not have been previously tested for people with visual impairments that may not be applicable.

I am glad to hear that people appreciate the emails I post to the NABS email list. However, they usually take a considerable amount of time and effort to create. I do my best to create meaningful responses to the questions that other people pose on this email list, and I feel as though I did not receive this in return when I posed my question to the email list. Although, I probably was not in the best frame of mind when I posted my question to the email list, so I probably could have worded things differently that may have provided better results. My class this semester has proven to be rather challenging for me for reasons besides my blindness, and I simply feel the need to shift my priorities so I can focus more on other things that are important to me in my life. I hope you can understand.

First, I think that it is important that the list remain all-inclusive. This means, an individual ought not to ever feel as if they are incapable of participating in the discussions, which we all have. Secondarily, I believe that you have provided numerous numbers of posts, which have contributed to answering individual questions. As such, you have contributed to the success of individuals, which is priceless, and, something that I think is an independent reason for you to continue your involvement. Finally, and most importantly (as a philosophy major), I think it is crucial that there exists differing opinions. If everyone always agrees with one another, there exists no room for development or innovation. Only through a comparison of antithetical views (lacking dogmatism, of course), can we discover the truth function of our claims, and then transition into a more perfect view. If everyone agrees with one another, then, we will only observe individuals always preforming the same actions, even if there exists a better alternative. I hope to see more posts from you in the future.

As a blind person I believe there are other factors in my life that impact my intention to be active, attitudes toward activity, and perceived control of being active. it seems to me that your study is neither willing to include or exclude any of these factors in your research. Therefore, I am not quite sure how any conclusions can be made based solely on blindness on intention to be active, attitudes toward activity, and perceived control of being active when other factors are neither included or excluded from your study. If blindness is not being isolated from other factors that impact what is being measured , then how will you know that blindness is the factor that is measured in your results, and not the result of some other factor that is simply a part of a blind person's life? For example, if a blind person also has a physical condition that causes chronic physical pain, how will you know the results from your study stem from the fact this person is blind rather than someone who experiences chronic physical pain? It seems to me that both of these factors would impact a person's intention to be active, attitudes toward activity, and perceived control of being active. Based on what I understand about your research, I am not quite sure how your study would be able to tell the difference between two different factors such as blindness and chronic physical pain.

Also, I very much agree with your points about many aspects of life influencing one's intentions or perceived control toward physical activity. Each of your points below about the influence of someone with chronic physical pain is also valid. I do not dispute any of your claims. We are very much on the same page with many of the things that you bring up, and I may not have clearly described the purpose of this survey validation study. There are currently many instruments available that measure conceptual reasons why people are active (again, like one's intentions or perceived control). However, none have been constructed with individuals with visual impairments at the focus, so many have questions that may not be applicable. Because of this, we want to develop an instrument that will look at these constructs. This is not to say that just a visual impairment would impact physical activity or those different intentions. Rather, we are determining whether this instrument will measure those constructs in a valid and reliable way. I hope this makes sense, and again I thank you for your message. Please email me further if I can answer any further questions. Justin A.

Don't worry, though. This has nothing to do with the phone crashing or freezing, but rather a storage issue. The other afternoon, while I was charging my phone, it was first off due to the battery percentage being nearly 0%. When the phone came back on, VoiceOver launched using a different voice than I use. I normally use Alex, but that time it started up with Samantha, which I believe is the default rotor voice for American English. This is the first part of the problem, since when the phone shut off automatically, it has always remained at Alex. Anyway, I didn't know what else to do, so I decided to delete Alex and re-install him. However, although the re-installation was successful, I got a message saying that the storage was almost full. I believe that that's probably because the file for Alex is one of the biggest on the Iphone (869 M.G). and probably larger than any apps. I deleted a few apps that I don't really use, but when I did that, it was still a lot less space than it was previously. Before the deletion, my phone was at 0 bytes, and afterwords, it was only at 14 megabytes. I'm really concerned because, even though I can use my phone, I'm afraid that I can't install any more apps. So I have two questions for you guys: 1. Is there any way to make it so that my phone is at its original storage space from when I deleted Alex? 2. Is there any way to make it so that Alex is your default language and dialect as well as the default rotor language? If not, what can I do to change the voice from Samantha back to Alex in case this problem happens again? I thought I might have changed voices with the rotor before, but haven't realized how I did it. For the first question, I am considering backing up my phone to iTunes on my windows computer, but am worried that if I do that, I will loose all of my apps, music, and settings that I changed. I hope that you can help me to solve this rather frustrating issue. Thanks in advance and have a good weekend, Sami Pdds. I appologize in advance for going off-topic, but I just received my grade for my first test for my college class as part of my blindness training that I took last week. I got a 94. Thanks again.

However, I still do not understand how a tool can be created to measure how blindness impacts conceptual reasons why people are active when it does not appear as though blindness is the only independent variable influencing the results this tool is meant to measure. Therefore, I do not understand the purpose of your research study. I think it is great to see researchers interested in studying various aspects of blindness. However, it frustrates me when I see researchers fail to understand that the lives of blind people are more than just about blindness. It seems to me that if a research study focuses on blindness that other independent variables that could influence the outcome of a research study should either be eliminated or accounted for in the research study. This is what I see when reading research studies on other subjects, and I do not believe it should be any different when researching aspects of blindness. Warm regards, Elizabeth From: Justin Haegele [mailto:justin.a.haegele at hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2016 5:06 PM To: National Association of Blind Students mailing list Cc: Elizabeth Mohnke Subject: RE: [nabs-l] Research Participant Recruitment - Online Survey - Win $50.00 (last reminder) Good evening Elizabeth, And I thank you for your feedback about the study. Also, I very much agree with your points about many aspects of life influencing one's intentions or perceived control toward physical activity. Each of your points below about the influence of someone with chronic physical pain is also valid. I do not dispute any of your claims. We are very much on the same page with many of the things that you bring up, and I may not have clearly described the purpose of this survey validation study. There are currently many instruments available that measure conceptual reasons why people are active (again, like one's intentions or perceived control). However, none have been constructed with individuals with visual impairments at the focus, so many have questions that may not be applicable. Because of this, we want to develop an instrument that will look at these constructs. This is not to say that just a visual impairment would impact physical activity or those different intentions. Rather, we are determining whether this instrument will measure those constructs in a valid and reliable way. I hope this makes sense, and again I thank you for your message. Please email me further if I can answer any further questions. Justin A.

It seems to me if someone is trying to research whether or not someone is capable of physical activity, it seems to me that there needs to be some way to measure this capacity. If blindness is not being used as the only independent variable, and if other independent variables are not being considered, then how exactly is this research study measuring the capacity of physical activity? If I were to participate in this research study as a blind person who suffers from chronic physical pain, how does this research study determine that my capacity to be physically active is the result of my blindness rather than my chronic physical pain? Since there does not appear to be any way to determine this from the research study, I am not quite sure how this research study considers the impact of blindness on the capacity of physical activity. And if the purpose of this research study is to determine if any bias exists regarding validity measurements of physical activity and blindness, what measures are being used to determine this bias? Are there previous research studies using the typical validation measurements of physical activity by blind people that this research study will use to determine the bias? If not, are there plans for future research studies using the typical validation measurements of physical activity by blind people to determine this bias? If so, there is no indication of this in any of the research study materials.

There are a myriad of reasons that the general public engage in active lifestyles. There are plenty of people who can see who deal with chronic pain etc. It sounds as though the researcher is attempting to eliminate biases found in standard tools that may exclude people who are blind and then establish the validity of those new tools. > On Mar 12, 2016, at 11:37 AM, Elizabeth Mohnke via nabs-l wrote: > > Hello Justin, > > > > Thank you again for taking the time to respond to my message.

It won’t take long, but to be sure you have all required documents ready, you’ll want to prepare before the deadline. *Thursday, March 31* is the deadline to apply. Get all the info at: https://nfb.org/scholarships including the *application checklist*: https://nfb.org/scholarship-submissions-checklist and, of course, the *online application*: http://scholarships.nfb.org/ or, print application (PDF download link): https://nfb.org/images/nfb/documents/word/2016-application-form.docx * IL SCHOLARSHIPS:* Our state affiliate too, offers scholarships each year to help you reach your academic goals and redefine blind success in your career. Check out our *state scholarship page *at: http://nfbofillinois.org/?page_id=97 *March 31* is the deadline for state scholarship applications also, but again, it’s best to prepare sooner (just like finals, but not nearly so scary). * IL INTERNSHIPS:* If you want a way to get to your academic goals (with a great accolade and some income to cover college costs) plus kick-start career success at the same time, apply for an NFB of IL internship. *The Deadline* for applying is anytime, but you will need to submit the application at least 6 weeks before beginning an internship. The benefits start as soon as you do, and an internship experience can give you a great edge in your career that will take you far. Info can be found at: http://nfbofillinois.org/?page_id=100 * SPRING SEMINARS:* On *Friday, April 15 through Saturday, April 16*, the NFB of IL is bringing back our ever-popular Spring Seminar Series. This year’s theme is *“Curriculum and Beyond”*. Friday is the seminar for *Teachers of the visually impaired (CPDU’s available too)*. Saturday is both the seminar for *parents* of blind children plus the concurrent seminar for blind *students*. *The Chicago Midway Marriott*, is the place where these all-day seminars will be. Please check out this link with all the information and details about the exciting things happening at this years’ seminars: http://nfbofillinois.org/?page_id=598 *Registration ends March 31*, and you can register at this link: http://nfbofillinois.org/?page_id=579 * BELL ACADEMY:* If you are not a blind student, but you have a young blind student of your own, you’ll be glad to learn that IL, will again be a state offering the NFB’s acclaimed *Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL) Academy *in 2016, and this year, we have two: *BELL-Chicago* will be Monday, July 25 – Friday, August 5 (8:30a – 3:30p), at the Chicago Lighthouse. *BELL-Springfield*, will be Monday, July 11 – Friday, the 15th, day and overnignt. Both programs for school-aged blind kids, include meals, field trips, and most importantly fun activities to better their Braille and blindness skills (which is linked to greater skill, achievement and success throughout life). Either site costs only $50 (which is truly, a phenomenal value). Find out all about BELL at: https://nfb.org/bell-academy and *after March 15*, you can register at that link as well. By St. Patrick’s day, I hope you not only have shamrock’s on your mind, but have Bell’s on too. If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this message, feel free to share this with those you believe would benefit from this information, and thank you.

Enchanted Hills Camp is a beautiful place to work during the summer. We're looking for youth who are blind or who have low vision to join us during our summer sessions and get some excellent work experience. The Enchanted Hills Camp Counselor in Training Program (CIT) focuses on developing blind/low vision leaders in an integrated environment through job exploration and work based learning experiences. Training takes place through discussion, observation and practice under the supervision of the administrative staff at camp. Most importantly a successful applicant will developed a strong work ethic that they can apply to any leadership experience. You'll finish the summer with a strong line for your resume and friends for life. This program is designed for blind participants or participants with low vision who are 16-24 old and are serious about improving their leadership skills by learning to work with children and/or adults in a rigorous camp setting. The importance in this training program is the hands on experience CITs will gain by working with campers and with the EHC counseling staff. CITs, upon completion of the Enchanted Hills Camp CIT program, will be better prepared to work with adults, their peers and children of all ages, interests, and abilities. Participants will also walk away with self-advocacy skills, increased social and independent living skills, plus new friendships. We encourage applicants with a variety of previous camping experiences to apply. CITs are registered as campers and therefore receive no financial compensation. Food, lodging and bus transportation from our pick-up sites are provided at no cost. Space is limited and interviews will be conducted to choose the best possible candidates for the program. Expectations of CITs Adhere to the policies established in the Staff Handbook Be a positive role-model for campers Communicate blindness-positive philosophy Demonstrate independent travel skills Demonstrate a strong work ethic Develop conflict resolution skills Develop leadership skills Meet daily with supervisor in a group setting for evaluation Provide a safe and healthy environment for campers Read from suggested best practices reading list prior to summer assignment Support the mission of the camp CIT Responsibilities Assist counselors and Area Leaders with management of campers Promote Independence Motivate campers to use non-visual techniques Participate in the development of program activities designed specifically for blind campers.

First, my school uses Canvas and it is fairly accessible but there are documents that have to be submitted on Canvas and then my instructor leaves comments on the document on Canvas. I have not been able to figure out a way to read these comments with JAWS. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this? Also, I hear it is possible to read comments in MS word, and wondering how to do that, i tried going to the review tab but that didn't work. My last question is about equation editor. Is it possible to use equation editor with JAWS or some other screen reader? I have to use it for classes. Thanks!

I waited a long time to update to the latest version, and when I finally did in January I experienced severe lagging. I think they are trying to fix it, but I'm not really sure what the problem is. Sometimes it's fixed for days, and then it comes back again. I have found that restarting my iPhone 6 does usually help now. It's very frustrating though, isn't it?! I never had this problem on my iPhone 6 until January… I'm sure they will try to fix it hopefully! I don't use a braille display with my phone, and as far as I can tell it just happens randomly, on various apps and on the home screen like you said. Sorry I'm not more helpful besides just restarting your phone!

One book I frequently cite is Jim Omvig's Freedom for the Blind: The Secret is Empowerment (2002). Ronald Ferguson's 2001 book, "We Know Who We Are" is also a good source. Google either of these titles to get the full citation.

This is Helga! How are you? I'm now currently attending a University, but I went to my college before transfering to my University! Regarding your question, It all depends how the disability services is in each college! For instance, my disability services of my college was not so so good since i needed to fight a lot for my rights and so on! But my Professors were great! So what you need to ddo is ask the questions to the school you are planning to! You know ask to the disability services! Questions like what kind of accommodations do yu provide? Is your webistes accessible? And the most mportant things is tht you neeed to tell them how you liketo study? You know if you use braille, audio and so on. It all depends how you study,or if you have multiple disabilities. I was trying to find in the Mailing list page f there is a Missisipi students mailing list so that you can ask questions, but I couldnot find it! Feel free to contact me off list i fuyou want to talk about this ok? One qestion, where do you live now? And hav eyou consider attending to the community collleges where you live? Just wondering! I look forward in Hearing form you soon. Thanks and God bless! Helga Schreiber Member of National Federation of the Blind and Florida Association of Blind Students.

However, recent updates to the app have made it quite inaccessible in that you cannot choose the courses of your choice; you can only choose courses by specialization. Also, many of the buttons in the app are unlabeled. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could share some pointers as to how they use the app in the most optimal manner. Also, on a related note, can someone suggest an accessible app for pursuing EDX courses?

Thanks for info! The topic of me moving to the US (my Dad and I got to talking of my future last night, something I cant talk with my Mom unfortunately) came up again, and he left me for homework to begin investigating; fortunately or unfortunately I'm of those who begins to see things kind of hard and gives up! anyway My goals of working over there are, taking advantages of my Psychological knowledge, and apply that to blindness technology (performing tech evaluations, writing up reports recommending this or that piece of equipment for such person depending on their abilities, psychological profile etc); maybe going and teaching the use of the recommended technology to the person who got it etc. Is this a crazy idea? does such job field exist over there? What is required to study for such a job, and how long is the course of study? And where is the best place to work in such a field? Small cities, large ones? My moving options until now are Brownsville/McAllen (the Rio Grande Valley) San Antonio/Austin or houston. is it true that one can use Taxis called Paratransit that charge a bit less for ride, and where is it more common to have such Taxi service? Small cities, large ones? Apartments and such are their living facilities for the blind or some sort of arrangement, not to be frowned upon or be treated like kids, but to start getting used to living on my own? My dad says that he'd sale everything and at least while I get things straightened out, be with me for a time; then spacing out the visits etc. Lots of questions I know, but well let's hope things this time do get going! Several months back I posted this topic, but for X or Y things kind of got on StandBy, but taking my Dad's word this time, I'm kind of getting excited/nervous!

Message-ID: <084c01d186a5$35fa58a0$a1ef09e0$@gmail.com> Happy Friday NABS! Time is running out! The National Federation of the Blind National Scholarship program is accepting applications until Thursday, March 31! Are you legally blind? Do you reside in the United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico? Are you pursuing or planning to pursue a full-time, postsecondary course of study at a U.S. institution in the 2016 scholastic year? Are you available to attend the entire NFB National Convention in Orlando, Florida from June 30-July 5, 2016? Are you eager to meet Federation leaders and network with some of the brightest, most passionate mentors out there? If you said yes to all of these questions, then we strongly encourage you to apply to our 2016 National Scholarship Program! To recognize achievement by blind scholars, the National Federation of the Blind annually offers blind college students in the United States and Puerto Rico the opportunity to win one of thirty merit-based, national-level scholarships ranging in value of $3,000 to $12,000. All scholarships awarded are based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership. Visit our website at www.nfb.org/scholarships to begin your application! Remember: applications, along with all necessary documents, must be submitted no later than March 31, 2016. Please note that you must get your affiliate president to write you a reference letter, so don't wait any longer to reach out! If you are new to our movement, you can find your affiliate president's contact information at www.nfb.org Furthermore, you must submit a 700-word essay, two letters of recommendation, proof of legal blindness, and application form. This opportunity is immensely rewarding and I encourage each of you to apply! As Chairperson Patti Chang would say: the only way you have no chance of receiving one is if you don't apply. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the NABS Board members or Chairperson Patti Chang at pattischang at gmail.com with questions. Have a great weekend; and good luck!

I can of course do that on my personal email accounts, but I want my emails to be able to address each person by their personal name (e.g., Dear Sarah, Dear John, etc) >From my understanding, doing so on my personal email at its respective platform (e.g., AOL or gmail) would be difficult. I will probably have to send one email at a time, which would be extremely time-consuming and inefficient.

State Updates All updates are printed below as they were received from their senders. Alabama: In January, the Alabama association of Blind Students held a Luncheon to revitalize the student division. At the luncheon, elections were held. The board members are as follows. President: Anna Walsh; Vice president: Jessica Williams; Secretary: Grace Anderson; Treasurer: Leslie Dixon; board member: Tripp Gulledge. In March, AABS held several student events at our NFB state convention. A business meeting was held and dues were collected at that meeting. We conducted a student luncheon where a panel of experts discussed several important things pertaining to college readiness. During the convention, AABS conducted two fundraisers. The first was a 50/50 raffle, and the second was a horse race. Both were reasonably successful. In the future, AABS hopes to grow as a student division and get involved in student issues on the national level. Our next meeting will be in April. Plans are underway for more fundraising events and we are always trying to think of ways to reach out to other blind students across Alabama. Connecticut: CTABS is gearing up for a well-attended National Convention with a unique fundraiser. We have been planning engaging conference calls by inviting national leaders to share their professional and personal experiences with us. We are working closely with the affiliate to plan another great State Convention this coming November. CTABS is eager to develop young leaders into mentors for incoming students! As we begin planning a regional student seminar, we are open to ideas, suggestions, and contributions from any northeast states! Please contact Kathryn Webster at kathrynwebster.nfb at gmail.com . Massachusetts: Hey Nabsters! This is Kristina Vu, MASSABS’ new board member, bringing you an update on what’s going on in Massachusetts. We just wrapped up a very successful state convention, where we had a record breaking attendance of thirty-nine students! Our weekend was jam-packed with student activities from karaoke night to legislative updates. We also elected a new board. Here are their names and positions: President Syed Rizvi, First Vice President Precious Perez, Second Vice President Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, Secretary Meaghan Roper, Treasurer Steven Max-Faults, and Board Member Kristina Vu. We are already looking forward to our spring social, which will be held on Saturday, April 16, at Wheelock College, in Boston. We will have food, fun activities, and federation updates! With a great new board, a growing membership, and such a great start to the year, MASSABS is excited to continue building the federation! North Carolina: After a great student seminar in January with knowledge on social security and financial planning, we are beginning to think about National Convention. While we aim to bring as many students as possible to Orlando, we also want students to learn, grow, and engage in our philosophy. Next month, we are hoping on having a special guest speaker to discuss training at our national centers. Stay tuned! Ohio: Greetings from the great state of Ohio. Ohio is very excited to be in the process of rebuilding it's student division. On March 5, a national Federation of the blind scholarship application seminar was conducted in the city of Columbus. During this scholarship workshop, leaders of the national Federation of the blind of Ohio discussed with potential scholarship candidates the value of the Federation, and the importance of changing perceptions of there cited counterparts. In Ohio, we are very excited to be part of building the Federation, and we very much look forward to sharing exciting news about Ohio with you soon. Tennessee: TABS is having our meeting at our state Convention will be held April 1-3 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at the Clarion Inn, 2227 Old Fort Parkway. Texas: The Texas Association of Blind students in conjunction with the Texas Parents of Blind Children will be holding our annual youth conference in Dallas, April 8-10. The conference is for Parents of blind children, blind students, and related professionals to come together during this exciting weekend to network, learn, and have lots of fun! We will have exhibits, a reception, an open TABS board meeting, a joint session for parents, students, and professionals, a formal luncheon, breakout sessions for students and parents, a recreational trip, and more. We are pleased to welcome Jeannie Massay from Oklahoma as our national representative. This is always an exciting time here in Texas, and this year will not be any different.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at bbrown at nfbtx.org . Virginia: Virginia students are fast at work planning our first-ever student seminar. As a student division with representation from nearly all age groups, we aim to make an inclusive environment to all. In May, we plan to partner with the Virginia School for the blind to engage in NFB history, philosophy, and membership development as we work with national leaders. We also are planning our annual Blowout, involving great partnership with our affiliate to bring in younger students. We hope to have a solid turnout at National Convention.

I'm looking to sell a Juliette Pro embosser. It is in great working condition and has only been used a handful of times. I'm asking $2,500 for it, or best offer. I'm cutting the price almost in half simply because the machine is six years old, but it has not been used in several years. I've tested the embosser and it still works great. However, I need to sellit to raise funds for my wedding and honeymoon and for a new computer. It would be a good embosser for a student, library, or even a school. It's a workhorse of a machine! Anyone interested in this Juliette Pro embosser can contact me at herekittykat97 at gmail.com with their offer.

Message-ID: <56F92EB1.6040707@gmail.com> Hi guys Yes I know I've asked here before,but more and more my decision to moving to the US is becoming more prevalent, but I've got the most important question of How easy/hard is to revalidate my Psychology degree and other Diplomas like Humanistic Counseling etc? My parents spent money on my education here, in Mexico, and now to think that I'd have to start all over again? spending another ten years studying, so when I graduate I'll be like 50? Aren't there any tests I could take to validate my studies here in Mexico if I move to the US? I studied from Elementary through high school in the States, and returned here to Mexico because of circumstances outside of my control where I studied my Psychology Major, and other graduate work in Humanistic Counseling etc. I know this would be off-topic since this is a psychology and human-services-orientated list, but my goal if I move to the States again, would be to get into the access Technology field, applying what I learned in Educational Psychology courses (evaluating the client in terms of its profile/abilities and other psychological factors to determine what tech is the best for him/her) thus what would my course of revalidation and study have to be? Lately Psychology by itself has gotten kind of boring to be honest with you guys, or might it be because I haven't found the joy in? I like yes to give one on one sessions and all, and also maybe someday get into Group Therapy, but technology especially blindness-related, has become a passion! thus if I could maybe make a difference in someone's live by this job? -- Enviado desde mi lap Gerardo J Corripio Flores Psicólogo, Terapéuta Reiki Saludos desde Tampico, Tamaulipas México From ALewis at nfb.org Mon Mar 28 14:54:29 2016 From: ALewis at nfb.org (Lewis, Anil) Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 14:54:29 +0000 Subject: [nabs-l] FW: White House Internship Program and D.C.

You need to use JAWS with FireFox and set up screen reader mode through Google (plus configure a few other settings) for it to work optimally. It may help you to search the web for Google drive accessibility. Once you configure the settings, they will stay for you so that you do not have to reset them every time you log on. It is helpful to have JAWS with the virtual cursor off (jaws key plus z twice quickly will turn it off for all applications which is what you want). Hope this helps to some degree. I’m in a bit of a rush right now but feel free to write me off list or reply to this thread for more assistance.

Press alt-control-z when you open a document to insure screen reader accessibility is on. You edit the doc the way you would any other. When commenting, I ask collaborators to be ok with turning on email notifications for comments. This means comments are emailed to you and you can reply to them with email rather than navigating the comments list which I have found to not be very accessible. If anyone has further comments on commenting in Google apps accessibly, I'd love to learn. At a higher level, Google Drive is the interface where your folders and files are organized. You can press enter on a box that can be organized in a list or grid fashion, and you can choose in the settings whether you want it to be ordered with recently-viewed files first, alphabetical, etc. I tend to prefer seeing recently-viewed files first since first letter navigation does not work in this box. You can right click on files to download them, share them, rename them, etc. I find this to be very helpful rather than opening the document and navigating the menus for similar options. If you download from Drive, it will download the Office equivalent, pdf files from google docs, powerpoints from slides, and excel or csv from sheets. I am not sure what happens when you download from Drive onto a mac. For keystrokes to use any specific app, Google something like "google docs keyboard shortcuts" and you'll get a pretty comprehensive list. Several keystrokes are 3 and 4 key combinations and quite cumbersome. The file menu for example can be accessed with alt-shift-f. I tend to write long passages in word and paste them into docs if I am working on something where the workload has been clearly divided. If your screen reader is laggy (something that happens to me), insure your Firefox is updated and refresh the screen. I have found that with slides, I have to do this quite frequently, so again, if someone has further advice on this, please reply. If you want to create a new file or folder, open the parent folder you want to store it in and shift tab from the box of folders and files a couple of times to find the new button. Once you press enter on it, you will get a list of options, to create a folder, upload a file, or create file types like docs, slides, sheets or forms. Again, I haven't configured anything to work with JAWS and right now, JAWS will not read the list of things to create. If the parent folder is shared, and if you create anything other than uploading a file, you will have to tab to the ok button on a pop-up confirming that you are ok with the newly-created thing being shared with everyone with whom the parent folder is shared. If someone shares a file or folder with you, you will probably get an email alerting you. Press the "open" link on this email. You can then tab or shift tab and press an "add to my drive" button. I do this because if you don't, the next time you try to access the folder or file through Google Drive, you will first have to change the "my drive" setting to "shared with me." You can do this by pressing enter on "my drive", arrowing down, and pressing enter on "shared with me." But I prefer everything in one place which is why I suggest you "add to my drive" everything that is shared with you which you will have to view or edit more than once. I hope this is a bit helpful if scattered.

As far as the other check you can get advice from a tax preparer on that, but the general rule is that If your taxable income is under $600 you don't owe tax on it. > On Mar 29, 2016, at 9:47 PM, Vejas Vasiliauskas via nabs-l wrote: > > Hi All, > I receive a small income from SSI as well as a monthly check as a student from LCB. > Is there any paperwork that I will need to do my taxes?

In recent weeks I have noticed that Word seems to be putting the cursor in random places, regardless of where I route it with the cursor routing buttons on my Braille display. For example, even when my display shows the cursor in the place I want it to be, when I start editing I find that my phone's cursor is actually on a different line of text. This usually ends up screwing up the entire document, causing me to either do a lot of time-consuming editing or switching to my computer (if available) to complete the rest of the document. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my iPhone, my Braille display or the Word app, but I have tried to replicate the problem in other apps and have not been able to do so. So, I'm thinking it's a bug in the Word app. Has anyone experienced the same problem? If so, have you found a workaround or can you suggest another wordprocessing app? Currently our school is using Office 365 as our tool for sharing documents between teachers and students, and to my knowledge Word is the only iOS app which connects directly to OneDrive. If necessary, however, I may need to download another app and work out another arrangement for getting assignments to and from teachers. Any insights on this would be appreciated. Thanks, as always, for your support!
