Hi. Does any one know where I can get a free student e-mail address. My
school does not give out .edu.au addresses for students, only staff.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Perhaps you could make a new free email address and designate it  school…

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.

hello all, well, as the subject says it all I will not be attending
national convention this year. I couldn't find a roommate or, it
wasn't a good fit for finding a roommate for convention. so, I'm not
going... I was going to go at jthe last minute but, since someone had
a room at the hotel and, I contacted them and, it was taken! it breaks
my heart that I won't be there but, I will be listening to the stream
on nfb.org and, also the stream for the nabs seminar on kjsc radio. I
will definitely will be there next year!  so, I'm going to use my
voucher from southwest airlines to go and visit my girlfriend who is
sighted in Michigan either the week of the 16th-20th of augustor
sometime in august... I hope thatyou all have a good summer... hugs,
from amy

Subject: [nabs-l] Question for Fitbit Users
Message-ID: <5957ce1d.910d620a.608ff.7464@mx.google.com>

Hi All,
I've had a Fitbit for 2 years, although have been only using it 
consistently for the past month to provide context.  I also use 
the Fitbit app on the Iphone and try to remember to check it once 
or twcce a day.
I was wondering when you know to charge your Fitbits.  When I 
plug mine in (and I know this because my parents are sighted and 
have seen it), it's supposed to light up, but it stays black for 
quite a long time, before I am finally able to reset it.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Vejas,

Typically, when you sink your Fitbit to the app you will receive an email letting you know your battery is low. As for checking when it's charging, I recommend continuing to sink it to the app. It will update and you are able to  check if the battery is low, medium, or high. Hope this helps!

I couldn't really understand a lot of this message, but when I looked at
these at one point they were priced way way higher than buying something
from other places would've been. Just something to keep in mind if
you're looking for a reasonable price range, or if you don't care if
your cane is 90 different colors. Even if you're looking to go
decorative, I've seen people do some really cool stuff with electric
tape and charms they got from places like Amazon and the like.
HTH,

Revolution canes are also pretty good. They have different tips, but I really don't remember having to change mine much.

Hi All,
On Friday, I have to go to my college to take an AccuPlacer exam. I’m just wondering, how accessible is the test? I know it is web based, so hoping it is usable. If you have taken it, was it a good experience?
Thanks,
Cullen

Hi,
Honestly, i did not have a good experience with my revolution folding cane. It worked fine for about 8 months, and then I had issues folding it. I ended up getting many splinters from the metal used on the cane. I have gone back to an Amputech folding cane, and it is working well for me. plus, they are quite a bit more affordable than the revolution canes.

Hi Cullen,
I took the accuplacer my senior year of high school, 2016, as part of a dual credit class I took. i did not take the online version, because the college I took mine through had a braille version and a transcriber who graded it. The math itself is mostly algebra with some geometry thrown in. If the exam is through the ALEKS testing service online it should be pretty accessible. A new version of that software just came out a few months ago.

I've never had any real problem with ambutech folding canes.  They
work very well.  I'll probably be getting a new cane soon just to have
as a back up cane for the one folding cane I already have.

It really depends on the accessibility that the college has. What forms of accessibility are you familiar with?

I can either take the test in Braille, or using technology if it works with a screen reader.

Message-ID: <CA+3U9s4gx7h=yreQthR4v62ukmDYMOWYwJgNMCpZp--vnT7c2g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Hope this message finds you well!  I tried clicking on the link to
pre-register for the NABS Business meeting and got the following
message:

The form NABS Business Meeting Preregistration is no longer accepting responses.
Try contacting the owner of the form if you think this is a mistake.

I'm not sure what this means, but I am unable to fill out the form
because of this message.  I wanted to send this message in case others
have experienced this issue.

Thanks,

Justin Young

Hi There!
I'm sending this out to invite anyone from a division or group that
will be involved at this year's convention who might want to come onto
my yearly pre convention radio show airing tonight in Hour 3 to make
any announcements about convention matters. The show is at 7 PM
eastern, so you'd be able to come on at some point during the 9 PM
hour. That's 9 PM eastern, 8 central, 7 mountain and 6 pacific. If you
want to call in, email me at
ddunphy at cocenter.org
so I know to expect you, and read below for show times and information
for listening in and such. It's a fun night of pre convention prep,
music and energy, so read below for the show notes. And I hope you'll
be part of tonight's fun:
Hi All!
With the NFB convention approaching, I like to do a yearly pre
convention send off party, where we celebrate the arrival of summer,
and through positive music and an upbeat night of fun, we get you
ready fo trek to Orlando and all its insanity. And our party airs
tonight!
Tune in to the party, starting at 7 PM eastern (6 central, 5 mountain
and 4 pacific) to the show, and you'll experience the following...
During tonight's show, among other things, we'll...

Highlight how KJSC Radio will be covering the convention
Play music that's very up in energy either cause of the beat, positive
lyrics, or both
We'll be doing a 4th of July set/presentation
With the convention being in Orlando, we have some disney songs to
throw out from past movies and more. And you never know when Mickey
Mouse might appear to announce one of the songs playing..
We take your requests, so if there's a song that will brighten your
day, we'll play it, too!
Allow for special presentations people might want to give about
convention events if needed such as the one we're airing in the second
hour, when we'll be hearing a presentation on I See Music, and the
role they'll be playing during convention


We'll give you the opportunity to interact with us throughout the show...
And you never know what else will happen...
It's a fun way to celebrate the arrival of summer, and a way to get
your spirits up for the convention coming!
The fun begins at 7 PM eastern (6 central, 5 mountain, and 4 pacific)
tonight on KJSC Radio.

All:

 

Since the NABS Board is only aware of one 1st vice presidential  candidate
seeking said position, the NABS Board has decided to cancel the open forum
scheduled for this evening. Michael Ausbun is seeking this position next
Tuesday during our annual seminar and business meeting in Orlando, Florida.
I am very much looking forward to seeing you all in one week!

Good-morning all,

I will be taking a class at school this year called foundations of computer
science. We will be using a software called scratch. I was wondering if
there is an accessible version of this software?

Thanks,

Nesma

I do not believe scratch is accessible. I remember trying it out a few
years ago because I hoped to teach a course with it.
Thanks,

hello ashely and all, as to your questions in using utube it's
somewhat accessible with jfw. I haven't used it since 2013 or 2014.
but, I was able to create a account with it but, there is a caption
and, my dad had to do the captia for me to have the account created.
but, as for searching for channels, making comments, or doing other
things in utube it
's very accessible with jfw. what version of jfw are you using? and,
what version of windows that you are using on your pc either windows 7
or windows10? asfor uploading up videos to utube I have never done
that feature but, I believe that you don't need any wequipment for
doing but, I could be wrong... I'm sure that someone else on this list
can answer that questions for you... well, that's all for now take
care and, I will talk to you soon.     hugs, amy      p.s. you don't
have to have a gmail account to sign up for it. when I signed /created

Youtube has improved quite a bit as far as accessibility is concerned, and the captchas now have an audible choice.

No problem.  Last year, I was able to set up my husband's account for him.

Another thing I found out that I really like regarding Youtube and Android.  After touching the sliders for volume or progress through a video, you can move forward and backward using the volume buttons on your phone.  Very convenient!

a case with dvr or your state services for the blind in your state? if
so then they can pay it for you. when I lived in Michigan in 2000 my
commission for the blind councelor purchased it for me but, never
purchased any updates for me. so, when I lived in Colorado I belive in
2008 she purchase version k1000 for me. as to your second question in
getting ssi yes, you have be at least 18 but, I don't know about the

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know if any of you guys who went to a training center have gotten jobs at the summer camps they offer. How would i apply to be a counselor at these camps. After I'm done training at the Louisiana center for the Blind, I'd like to be a camp counselor during the summer.
Also are there other camps I could apply to. I'm from Georgia, and the only camp i know of is the Georgia lions camp for the Blind.
Thanks

There used to be a summer camp sponsored by the lions and services for the
blind in Wyoming on Casper Mountain.

There also used to be one in I believe Woodland Park, Colorado, and they
used to partner with the Cierra Club, with the end-goal of climbing Pike's
Peak.  You might check with the National Lions clubs for list of camps if
there is one.

hello briana and all, that's awesome news that you want to be a summer
councelor for the nfb centers. have you mentioned this to pam allen
about this? if not then I would find out who the director for lcb is
and, tell them that you are interested in working for the summer
programs that the center offers... as for the 2 other center that the
nfb offers you should go to the web sites to find out who the director
for their youth services is and apply. here is the information for the
2 other centers.   blind inc www.blindinc.org coloradocenter for the
blind www.cocenter.org   as for the lions club camp in geoorgia that
you mentioned I would contact them as well and, tell them that you are
interested in being a summer councelor for the summer and apply!  I
hope this advice and information was helpful and, I wish you good luck
in working for these camps next summer or in the future!     hugs, amy

these are all awesome ideas and suggestions for making the nabs
student success kit... I totally agree with you what said about
Elizabeth's commentsabout comments that this is indeed a fundraiser
that nabs is holding and, if she wants purchase it is her privledge
and prgrative in doing so.... yes, you can purchase a thumbdrive and,
get these files in whatever format you prefer... I knew of this
fundraiser one year at convention but, I didn't purchase it due to
personal reason which was a shame!   well, that's my thoughts on this
thread I hope that someone on the nabs boards support these
ideas/suggestions and works with you on this fundraiser project!
hugs, from amy

hello david, well, I don't know what to sayon this matter with the
thumbdrives for nabs and, your frustrations with this fundraiser. I
don't know if I want waste my time in purchasing this product
myself... what a way for not having someone on the nabs board to
disrespect you and not communicate you! that's disgraceful imo....
especially when it comes to dealing with someone's paypal/bak account.
I hope that you get this problem fixed and, I hope that you get what
you got at convention from nabs. take care and, I will talk to you
soon!

Amy,
You are replying to a post from 2016. Just an fyi, I think the nabs 
fundraiser to which you speak of is over.
They might do it again this year at convention.
Not sure. However, I believe they already sold all thumb drives.

these are all awesome ideas and suggestions for making the nabs
student success kit... I totally agree with you what said about
Elizabeth's commentsabout comments that this is indeed a fundraiser
that nabs is holding and, if she wants purchase it is her privledge
and prgrative in doing so.... yes, you can purchase a thumbdrive and,
get these files in whatever format you prefer... I knew of this

personal reason which was a shame!   well, that's my thoughts on this

ideas/suggestions and works with you on this fundraiser project!

hello david, well, I don't know what to sayon this matter with the
thumbdrives for nabs and, your frustrations with this fundraiser. I
don't know if I want waste my time in purchasing this product
myself... what a way for not having someone on the nabs board to
disrespect you and not communicate you! that's disgraceful imo....
especially when it comes to dealing with someone's paypal/bak account.
I hope that you get this problem fixed and, I hope that you get what
you got at convention from nabs. take care and, I will talk to you
soon!

Hi, I am exclusively on Apple products now, so I could only advise on iTunes.  I think it has become a lot more accessible as of late, which I really like. You can call or get in touch on here if you want more specific information or tips on its use.

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.

Has anyone studied abroad for graduate-level credit 9Master’s or doctoral study)? If so, how was your experience? How was your search for funding? Did you do anything special to arrange for blindness and health-related needs? Did your program require you to apply for health insurance, and if so did you encounter difficulties due to preexisting conditions?

hello cricket and all,

well, I certainly have been out of the loop here on the nabs land...
that's awesome that you are going to recreate the nabs brochure... the
brochure came out in 2004 when a friend of mine who was from Michigan
and, was a student himself and, was going to college at u ofm which is
the university of Michigan. he got many copies of it in print and
braille. and, after that it never went to the nabs web site to be put
up on it!  I got a copy of it in print and, I love it!  I'm glad that
you are going to update it and, put it in many formats to be put up on
the nabs web site... as soon as it gets up on the nabs web site can
someone let me know!

thanks again and, keep up the great work in nabs!



hugs always,
amy

hello Helga,
that's great that your friend from florida wants to attend college in
Tennessee. to obtain that information tell your friend to go to the
nabs web site and, then go to the state student divisions link on the
home page and, then on that page she will find all of that information
which is listed alphabetical order. I hope this information is helpful
so, you can give it to your friend... take care and, I will talk to
you soon!


hugs,
amy

understand you reasons for stepping from the board and, i do respect
you as leader in both nabs and in the federation... you certainly have
done a great job for the division and, i commend you on that! i too am
a leader here in the federation when i lived in Michigan and when i
moved to Colorado in 2003 where i have served on 2 committes in the
Denver chapter where for 2006-2007 i was the chapter newsletter editor
and, in 2004-2005 i served as the vp for the Colorado association of
blind students but, was never elected but, i continued to be a leader.
  i hope that we can stay in touch you can always call me at
303-588-7725 or you can email me at amieelsabo at gmail.com   again, i
wish you good luck in life and, i lookforward to hearing from you
soon!     hugs, amy

Amy, these messages are a year old. I am rather confused.  Btw, please be very careful about posting your personal phone number on a public email list. When you reply to these messages, your post goes to the entire list membership.

Subject: [nabs-l] Summer camp jobs after my training at LCB Brianna
Message-ID: <595ca311.6facdf0a.70ad6.6a57@mx.google.com>

Hi Brianna,
Usually announcements come out on the NFBnet general list around 
January for places like CCB, Blind Inc., BISM etc.  Sometimes you 
have to email the person in charge and seek further information, 
sometimes there's a website where you can just go through the 
application process.  And yes, you can definitely apply with 
state services to see if you get anything there as well.  We have 
quite a few students on this list who have worked at Training 
centers both NFB and state-run.  So let us know if you have any 
more questions.  Pro-tip, start looking for these jobs and 
prepping your resume/cover letter around December/January, they 
usually do interviews in early to mid March.
Best,
Lizzy

Hi,
I need to find a few textbooks.
I have the isbn numbers, but Googling them, and searching other sources, yields no helpful results, and sometimes nothing at all.
What can I do?
Where can I go to get these books?

Thanks,

Hi Jessica,
Are you looking for Braille or audio textbooks? Are these for 
college?
If I can't find a textbook on Bookshare, I'll buy a print copy, 
then have DSS scan it.  The PDF's are then put on my USB stick by 
chapter.  BARD is a good web site for audio books.
You could also hire a reader.  At my DSS they find the reader by 
department, although the DSS staff are also very willing to read 
something for me (as long as I can let them know in advance, of 
course).
Hope this helps,
Vejas

I search learning ally's site for them first. You can search by title; 
usually works for me or ISBN.
Have you also tried amazon? Sometimes using the ISBN yeilds results of 
audiobooks.

Good luck

I Don’t Like Learning Ally, I’ve Tried Amazon, But Didn’t Get Any Good Results. My Bookshare Membership Has Expired. I Don’t Think They Have The Books I Need anyway.

You can look for them on book share, learning Ally, or the e-book works with voiceover on the Kindle app. Remember, sometimes the ISBN number is different if it's in an audio version so maybe just search the title and author and addition number. Hope that helps.

I Don’t Like Learning Ally, I’ve Tried Amazon, But Didn’t Get Any Good 
Results. My Bookshare Membership Has Expired. I Don’t Think They Have The 
Books I Need anyway.

Subject: [nabs-l] Replying to Old Posts and Threads
Message-ID: <01a201d2f5da$6bb70d80$43252880$@gmail.com>

Hi Amy and All:

 

Over the past few days, I've noticed a lot of replies to posts in threads
which have long since run their course. In some cases, these posts have been
in response to threads which originated a year ago. I totally understand the
reality of personal issues which take us away from our email for a
while-indeed, such circumstances have come up in my life. However, I would
also like to remind everyone that we try to avoid unnecessary clutter by
keeping posts as relevant and current as possible. So, I'm respectfully
asking that we refrain from replying to messages which are not current or
which are part of threads that are several months or years old. A general
rule of thumb I try to follow is only replying to messages posted up to two
weeks ago, unless the thread in which they are posted is still getting new
posts in it. This helps all of us to keep our list as relevant and
clutter-free as possible. If you have any questions about this, please feel
free to reach out. I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer, and I
look forward to seeing many of you in less than a week!

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

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 bak.

hello chris,

first of all I want to apologize to my cross posts here on the list
which were were very old indeed. I know that I should've unsubscribed
from all of my nfbnet lists when I was going through my personal/
medica issues but, I forgot! things like that happen to us all in our
lives. I do respect you as a leader in this organization and, also in
the federation and, if I offend you or anyone here on this list I do
apologize! I didn't want to do that to you all! again, except my
sincere apologizes and, I will talk to you soon!



sincerely yours,
amy

Message-ID: <CAOF1yXETQyCTYDYnNo64f2wxN-JmsXKtxkinsQbstsdZTOii-Q@mail.gmail.com>

hello lizzie and all,
I know that lizzie posted here comments about this thread today and, I
was going to comment on this thread and, I deleted it into my trash
folder so, it's now my turn to give my two cents worth on this topic.

yes, the information that lizzie posted here on the list is correct.
in January and in the spring of that year the youth services will post
something for the 3 nfb centers looking for people to be councelors
for their summer programs and, they even do that at Washington seminar
too. they did when I went to Washington seminar in 2003 at the nabs
seminar but, i could be wrong here... so, someone on this list needs
to clarfly on this thought since I haven't been back to dc since I
have lived in Colorado due to financial and personal issues. as a
matter of fact I was going to go to dc but, it didn't workout for me
to find a roommate since I had a plane voucher from amarican airlines
that I had to use up!

as for bism they posted about working for their summer program in the
spring of that year or sometime in the mid of june. I know that
personally because in the summer of 2006 I had the opportunity to be a
summer councelor for their summer program which was called wings which
stood for winning independence in gaining success which is now
independence 2017 or whatever year it is. unfortunately, I had to
resign from this position because I was physically and verbally abused
by 2 of the girls I was taking for in my apartment. It was very
difficult for me to deal with this matter and, it took me a long time
to move on with my life personally and professionally. so, if you want
to learn more about bism and, contact the youth services director or
the director of bism go to their web site at www.bism.org

again, thanks for youer interest in being acouncelor at one of our nfb
center and, I wish you good luck in obtaining that summer job!

I was hoping that someone could tell me how to connect I-tunes on a PC to store and run an existing music library from an external drive. The information I found online is for MAC and not PC. I'd be grateful for your help.

Hi, Jessica--

There should be plenty of time at this point to submit requests on
Bookshare for your titles. They typically can produce a raw scan (if
mentioned in the request) within a couple weeks.

Also, if you send me some examples, I can see if I am able to find
them anywhere.

Best of luck!

Hi Jessica,
In addition to Bookshare or Learning Ally (assuming you're in the US), you could also check your local public library for audiobooks or ebooks. You could also contact the publishers directly to see if they'll give you an accessible digital copy. Often these are in pdf, so depending on the subject area their accessibility will vary. If you are a current student, your accessibility office should be able to ask on your behalf if necessary, as some publishers will not give books directly to students over copyright concerns.

I do have some clarifying questions for you though to make sure we can give you the best help:
1. What format(s) are you looking for? (Braille, large print, audio, etc.)
2. What subject(s) are these texts for? If it's a STEM subject you'll have more difficulty, but if it's humanities or text-based social sciences you should be able to find several options.
3. Where are you located? Some repositories of books are only available to citizens of certain regions. NLS for instance is only available to US citizens; ACE is only available to residents of my home province of Ontario in Canada.

I hope this helps,
Sarah

Subject: [nabs-l] Accessible Menstruation Tracking Apps
Message-ID: <595e7c1d.4f146b0a.6427b.2038@mx.google.com>

Hi friends,
This is kind of a forward post given I haven't been on this list in awhile,
but I'm hoping someone can provide insight.

Has anyone found an accessible menstruation tracking app, ideally connected
with iOS's Health Kit? I'm using iOS 10 with iPeriod, but it is not fully
accessible (too many unlabelled buttons) and not connected to Health.
Ideally I'd like to export my data from iPeriod and drop it into a connected
app, but none I have tried has proper labelling of buttons. Has anyone else
had better luck? I'm running iOS 10 on an iPhone 7.

Thank you,
Sarah

Hello:
Have you looked at applevis? They would probably have some options under
health.

Message-ID: <CAOF1yXGg_YBvHdJ4waRtfzNjK0r-t1P0gNdm816XjjbXribkWQ@mail.gmail.com>

hello all,

i hope that you are all doing well and, enjoying your summers so
far... for those of you who are going to be at convention next week i
hope that you all have a wonderful convention. i too among some of you
won't be at convention due to many personal issues that i have
mentioned here on these lists.

anyway, i haven't seen at all the agendas for both the performing arts
division and, also for the nabs meeting to both that will be at
convention next week and, as a matter of fact the nabs meting will be
streamed thanks to my friends at kjsco radio. so, i was wondering if
the presidents could paste or send as a attachment the agendas for
their meetings here on the lists?



thanks a bunch and, i will talk to you all soon!



hugs,
amy

yes, I know the information for both of the division meetings in in
the agenda which is on the nfb's web site but, I'm looking for the
exact agenda for each of the divisions on what is going to be
presented at their meetings... so, can the presidents for those
divisions post their agends to these lists?



thanks,

A lot of times, the agendas for the individual division meetings aren't prepared ahead of time. Often, you don't even know until you actually come and see the agendas. It's very casual.

It is easier on you and NABS to pay with PayPal, but you can definitely pay
the $5 in the preregistration line!

Thank you for the message. Do you have to pay through PayPal, or can you
just pay the five dollars at the door? ?

Subject: [nabs-l] 250-word submission for free one year service of Aira
 glasses due today at midnight!
Message-ID: <079601d2f735$2f471280$8dd53780$@gmail.com>

Announcement to all incoming college freshman or current college students:

 

Today, Friday, July 7, submissions for the chance at winning a one year
subscription to Aira is due to me tonight at midnight!

Please read message below; and get those 250 word submissions in!

 


The 2017 Larry Bock Award


Aira, with the help of NABS, is providing two college students with a 1-year
subscription to Aira services!

 


Overview


One of Aira's founders was the entrepreneurial guru and lifelong student
Larry Bock.  Larry passed away in late 2016 and we're honoring his legacy by
announcing the Larry Bock award. We're looking for students who exhibit
Larry's passion for trying new things and constantly expanding their range
of capabilities.  This is your chance, not only to win a game-changing
prize, but also to provide input that will literally help Aira shape
services enhancements. 

 


What is Aira?


Aira is a service for blind and low-vision people that provides immediate,
time-relevant access to visual information about surroundings or items at
the point-of-need by fusing technology and human interaction.

*        Smart glasses that capture video, GPS data and other sensor inputs
of the user's surroundings

*        Broadband network to remotely connect the user with a visual
assistant---we call them "Agents" (human or software)

*        Trained agents utilizing a dashboard that displays camera
information as well as a range of other sources and feeds that enable
real-time interaction to inform the user of what is in their immediate and
adjacent surroundings and environments. These might include access to
restaurant reviews and locations, current transportation schedules, alerts
to weather or construction along routes and other relevant and time
sensitive information. 

*        Software that enables agents to access and provide deep and robust
location-specific information to the users to help them navigate, select and
locate venues, locate their seat at sporting events, read signs or take
other actions that further enhance their independence.

Today, students on college campuses join blind or low-vision business
people, veterans, and others who are using the Aira services to
independently navigate cities, malls or attractions, master transportation
systems, shop, and learn more about the surroundings and environment. Aira
aims to integrate students into the mainstream of campus life and the
college experience in a way never before possible.

Aira strives to further enhance independence anytime and anywhere for the
blind or low-vision.

You can learn more at  <http://www.aira.io/> www.Aira.io

 


Eligibility Requirements


*        College students (age 18 & over) or recent grad (graduated in May
17')

*        In line with our Do More theme, participants should be passionate
about trying new things and constantly expanding their range of capabilities

 


Selection Process


In order to be considered, Students must submit a 250-word response,
explaining how one uses technology and would use Aira to enhance
independence.   

This response can take any direction, so be creative! To get your mind
wandering,

*        Briefly describe one or more challenges.

*        Tell us how a visual assistant service may benefit you.

*        Tell us what autonomous features --- those that do not require an
agent's assistance or service integrations (such as Uber or Amazon) --- you
might innovate or add to the enhancement of  independence, improve the user
experience, or enable a breakthrough capability for blind people.

 

You can learn more about the solution and services at  <http://www.aira.io>
www.Aira.io

Think both inside and outside the box!  Share your innovative spirit!  Your
insights help guide our offering.

Submissions must be sent to Kathryn Webster, national student division
president, at nabs.president at gmail.com <mailto:nabs.president at gmail.com>  by
Friday, July 7 at midnight EST. Please attach the file, including your name,
birth date, state, email address, and phone number, as well as the 250-word
response.

 


Next Steps


Five entries will be selected for the final round. If you provide one of the
top entries, we will ask you to do a 3-minute pitch during the 2017 National
convention. On Wednesday, July 12 from 8-10pm, in conjunction with the NABS
Olympics event, the top five students will have an opportunity to woo our
judges! Within the three minutes, we want you to intrigue us, inspire us,
and make us see how well-deserving you are of this award. Students will know
by Sunday, July 9th if they have been selected as a finalist.

 


Announcement of Winners


On Saturday, July 15, during the National Federation of the Blind Annual
Banquet, the two recipients will be announced and awarded the Larry Bock
Award for their talent and curiosity as a lifelong student.

Dear Blind Students,

The National Association of Blind Students seeks to emulate the operations
of our national, state and chapter boards. In this pursuit, we have formed
a nominating committee. A group of geographically diverse student leaders,
who will slate students for our national board, who they determine are best
suited to progress this proud division forward in its endeavors. The
leaders who are slated are studied and can be trusted by our members to
serve sincerely and professionally. Nominations can still be presented from
the floor. The elections will not be a popularity contest, and will rather
hope to appoint the best person for each available position. The slate will
be announced at the annual business meeting. After the elections, it is
expected that our membership fully supports our leaders and no notions of
contest will linger. It is due to this support that our organization has
been able to be so efficient and successful in its aims. It is important to
not allow politics to bog us down.

If there are any questions regarding this matter please feel free to
contact me:

hello Katherine,
thanks for posting this information the list and, yes I know that it
was first posted here on the 2nd of june in which people should've
done this ahead of time. oh well! anyway, I have a suggestion for next
year's seminar for nabs why not pt the link/form for doing
registration on the nabs web site? it would give students who aren't
on this list a opportunity to preregister a head of time besides you
posting the link to do it on the list. that's just my suggestion for
doing preregistration for next year. anyway, take care and, have a
good seminar I will be listening on line through my laptop!



hugs always,
amy

 Preorders  Still Available
Message-ID: <auto-000085763693@mailfront2.g2host.com>

Hey there.

A T Guys is excited to be returning to the Rosen 
Shingle Creek for this year's convention. I 
wanted to share a few convention specials and new 
items that we'll have at our booth, which is 
A-19, along the left wall of the exhibit hall..

We have several new products including:

The Micro-Speak Talking Digital Voice Recorder. A 
simple recorder with voice prompts, a 
rechargeable battery, and 4GB of memory. Connect 
to a computer to copy your files, or just play 
them directly on the unit. $54.95
The E5 Wireless Smart Speaker. You've asked us 
for a louder and more powerful speaker and we now 
have it. Not only is the E5 very loud, it 
supports Bluetooth, Airplay, Spotify Connect, 
Internet radio presets, and even most functions 
of Amazon Alexa. Order Amazon products, play 
Jeopardy, or listen to Kindle books with Alexa. 
You do not need an existing Amazon Echo to use 
this feature. This stereo speaker also has a line 
in jack and base and treble knobs. Start your next party for $129.99.
The O6 Life Remote for VoiceOver. A small and 
discrete dial which you can use to control 
Voiceover, just by turning it or pressing a 
button. Swipe, double tap, or control the rotor 
from one simple dial. It's a new kind of wearable 
that we're excited to debut at convention. $99

Also, we have some items on sale.
Save $10 on the Aftershokz Trekz Bone Coonduction 
headsets, now $119.95. Listen to your music or 
phone without covering your ears. The Trekz are 
lighter and more flexible than previous models. 
We also have a new titanium wired model for $59.95.
The Bluetooth Multimedia Remote. Control music, 
BARD books, and more wirelessly up to 30 feet away. On sale for $29.95.

More cool stuff:
The Matias full-size Bluetooth keyboard pairs to 
up to 4 devices at once and features up to one year of battery life. $99
The SoundPod is a simple Bluetooth speaker that 
can fit in a pocket or purse. Also has a MicroSD 
card slot and can operate as either a Bluetooth or wired speaker. $49.95

We have much more including headsets, our 
vibrating pocket watch, Quantum bar code scanner 
for the computer, and other cool gadgets.

You can save time by preordering, even from your 
hotel room, and picking up items at booth A-19. Use coupon NFB17.

Subject: [nabs-l] An Announcement and a Thank You
Message-ID: <0a7e01d2f7aa$7ed7d260$7c877720$@gmail.com>

Dear NABS Family:

 

I hope all of you are having a wonderful start to your weekend, and that
those of you who will be joining us in Orlando are having a stress-free
packing experience. I can't wait to reunite with so many of you in a few
days, and to celebrate the progress NABS has made in our first 50 years.
With your help, I know we can make our golden anniversary convention the
best one yet for NABS!

 

As we approach our national convention, I would like to share with you an
announcement which will have an effect on my role in the leadership of our
organization. For the past two years, I have had the distinct honor of
serving on the NABS Board, where I have work alongside amazing leaders like
current President Kathryn Webster, immediate past President Sean Whalen, and
all the wonderful Board members with whom I have served. This has been one
of the greatest blessings of my life, and I will always treasure it.
However, after much personal reflection and consultation with my mentors and
friends, I am choosing not to run for reelection at this year's business
meeting.

 

Firstly and most importantly, I am doing this because I will be starting
college in the fall, and I feel it is crucial for me to focus primarily on
my studies as I make this transition. It would be unfair to NABS if I were
to suddenly shirk my responsibilities while I adjust to college life, while
still expecting our members to consider me worthy of a Board position.
Moreover, I have chose not to run again because I recognize that, during
this year, I have not lived up to the standard which is and should be
expected of a Board member. My lack of work on behalf of NABS was largely
caused by my focus on my training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind.
Even so, I cannot presume to ask to be trusted again with a position for
which I have not worked. Indeed, there are many hardworking off-Board
leaders who have generously picked up much of the work I left behind, and I
believe they should be given the recognition they deserve. Finally, I have
made this decision recognizing my need to focus my attention on my state's
student division, of which I serve as President, as we prepare to go into a
transition of leadership. For this reason, I feel it is in the best interest
of NABS that I take a step back from national leadership at this time.

 

I would like to close by expressing my gratitude to you, the members of the
National Association of Blind Students. Whether it has been in-person, over
the phone or in emails, I have been able to talk with many of our members
across the country over these past two years. Through those dialogues, I
have discovered the rich talent, inspiring dedication, and boundless energy
we have in this organization. Every day, you have reminded me of why we in
the Federation do what we do, and you have inspired me to keep going even
when the work gets tough. Please be assured that each of you holds a special
place in my heart. Please also be assured that this is in no way a step back
from NABS. I intend to do all that I can to support our leaders and to build
the Federation through our student division. Our cause marches on, and I
intend to march with it! So, thank you so much for your support of me over
the years, and, more importantly, your support of the organization we love.
I look forward to stepping into my new role in NABS and beyond.

 

With gratitude for your unwavering support, and excitement about the future,
I remain,

 

Yours in the movement,

 

Chris Nusbaum

Cory:

At present the names of members of the nominating committee are being kept
confidential in order to avoid unnecessary politics or pressure. However, I
would imagine that they will be recognized at convention. If you have
further questions, Syed would be the point of contact.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Dear Blind Students,

The National Association of Blind Students seeks to emulate the operations
of our national, state and chapter boards. In this pursuit, we have formed a
nominating committee. A group of geographically diverse student leaders, who
will slate students for our national board, who they determine are best
suited to progress this proud division forward in its endeavors. The leaders
who are slated are studied and can be trusted by our members to serve
sincerely and professionally. Nominations can still be presented from the
floor. The elections will not be a popularity contest, and will rather hope
to appoint the best person for each available position. The slate will be
announced at the annual business meeting. After the elections, it is
expected that our membership fully supports our leaders and no notions of
contest will linger. It is due to this support that our organization has
been able to be so efficient and successful in its aims. It is important to
not allow politics to bog us down.

If there are any questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact
me:

Respectfully,

Your 2nd Vice President

Syed Rizvi

Dear Chris,

I couldn't have said it any better than Jonathan did, and I couldn't be
prouder to call you a friend. I look forward to our friendship growing
exponentially while in Orlando, and I equally look forward to fully
supporting you on your continued journey, both in and outside the
federation.

Furthermore, I believe you will climb high in the Federation's leadership--
both in NABS and otherwise--and I will go to great lengths to support you on
whatever path you elect to pursue.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Cory:

At present the names of members of the nominating committee are being kept
confidential in order to avoid unnecessary politics or pressure. However, I
would imagine that they will be recognized at convention. If you have
further questions, Syed would be the point of contact.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [nabs-l] Introduction of NABS Nominating Committee

Dear Blind Students,

The National Association of Blind Students seeks to emulate the operations
of our national, state and chapter boards. In this pursuit, we have formed a
nominating committee. A group of geographically diverse student leaders, who
will slate students for our national board, who they determine are best
suited to progress this proud division forward in its endeavors. The leaders
who are slated are studied and can be trusted by our members to serve
sincerely and professionally. Nominations can still be presented from the
floor. The elections will not be a popularity contest, and will rather hope
to appoint the best person for each available position. The slate will be
announced at the annual business meeting. After the elections, it is
expected that our membership fully supports our leaders and no notions of
contest will linger. It is due to this support that our organization has
been able to be so efficient and successful in its aims. It is important to
not allow politics to bog us down.

If there are any questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact
me:

Email- syedrizvinfb at gmail.com

Phone- 4132503523

Respectfully,

Your 2nd Vice President

Syed Rizvi

Subject: [nabs-l] An Announcement and a Thank You

Dear NABS Family:

 

I hope all of you are having a wonderful start to your weekend, and that
those of you who will be joining us in Orlando are having a stress-free
packing experience. I can't wait to reunite with so many of you in a few
days, and to celebrate the progress NABS has made in our first 50 years.
With your help, I know we can make our golden anniversary convention the
best one yet for NABS!

 

As we approach our national convention, I would like to share with you an
announcement which will have an effect on my role in the leadership of our
organization. For the past two years, I have had the distinct honor of
serving on the NABS Board, where I have work alongside amazing leaders like
current President Kathryn Webster, immediate past President Sean Whalen, and
all the wonderful Board members with whom I have served. This has been one
of the greatest blessings of my life, and I will always treasure it.
However, after much personal reflection and consultation with my mentors and
friends, I am choosing not to run for reelection at this year's business
meeting.

 

Firstly and most importantly, I am doing this because I will be starting
college in the fall, and I feel it is crucial for me to focus primarily on
my studies as I make this transition. It would be unfair to NABS if I were
to suddenly shirk my responsibilities while I adjust to college life, while
still expecting our members to consider me worthy of a Board position.
Moreover, I have chose not to run again because I recognize that, during
this year, I have not lived up to the standard which is and should be
expected of a Board member. My lack of work on behalf of NABS was largely
caused by my focus on my training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind.
Even so, I cannot presume to ask to be trusted again with a position for
which I have not worked. Indeed, there are many hardworking off-Board
leaders who have generously picked up much of the work I left behind, and I
believe they should be given the recognition they deserve. Finally, I have
made this decision recognizing my need to focus my attention on my state's
student division, of which I serve as President, as we prepare to go into a
transition of leadership. For this reason, I feel it is in the best interest
of NABS that I take a step back from national leadership at this time.

 

I would like to close by expressing my gratitude to you, the members of the
National Association of Blind Students. Whether it has been in-person, over
the phone or in emails, I have been able to talk with many of our members
across the country over these past two years. Through those dialogues, I
have discovered the rich talent, inspiring dedication, and boundless energy
we have in this organization. Every day, you have reminded me of why we in
the Federation do what we do, and you have inspired me to keep going even
when the work gets tough. Please be assured that each of you holds a special
place in my heart. Please also be assured that this is in no way a step back
from NABS. I intend to do all that I can to support our leaders and to build
the Federation through our student division. Our cause marches on, and I
intend to march with it! So, thank you so much for your support of me over
the years, and, more importantly, your support of the organization we love.
I look forward to stepping into my new role in NABS and beyond.

 

With gratitude for your unwavering support, and excitement about the future,
I remain,

 

Yours in the movement,

 

Chris Nusbaum

Subject: [nabs-l] NABS Board Elections clarifications
Message-ID: <18EDA1BF-DBBB-4337-B749-8CA9E277CF3D@gmail.com>

Dear Students,
I wish to clarify perhaps a misunderstanding. The formation of the nominating committee was in pursuit of diminishing destructive petty politics within our division. Yes, nominations are accepted from the floor, but this is not the ideal manner in which to run. It is more appropriate to at least inform our division president prior to elections.

Is there, or will there be, a formalized process for running for a NABS
board position? I do not intend to run; however, believe this is vital
information for individuals seeking to serve the NABS Division to be aware
of, should they elect to pursue a leadership role.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Dear Students,
I wish to clarify perhaps a misunderstanding. The formation of the
nominating committee was in pursuit of diminishing destructive petty
politics within our division. Yes, nominations are accepted from the floor,
but this is not the ideal manner in which to run. It is more appropriate to
at least inform our division president prior to elections. Again, I fully
trust, as should you, the judgement of our leaders in their ability to form
a slate that will be best for the organization's success.
Cordially,
   Syed

Thank you Cory,
Yes it would be good form to at least inform our president more than 48 hours before elections.

Cory,

They follow roberts rules of order. Nominations are sought three times from 
the floor. The nominating committee will announce up front who is running. 
If someone is nominated from the floor, that person has to accept the 
nomination and be there to represent themselves.

At least at my chapter meetings, if no one else is nominated, someone says, 
"I move that nominations be closed and that blank be elected by 
acclimation." Then someone seconds that request and the vote proceeds.

I hope Shikha can run and she is accepted by the nominating committee. 
Otherwise, she can nominate herself from the floor or have a friend nominate 
her.

Good luck Shikha!

Ashley

Dear Chris,
I just want to join the others in acknowledging the service and
leadership you have given NABS. I also commend you for showing
self-awareness and humility in recognizing when it is time to step
aside or to change your role. As you know, there are many different
ways to serve the Federation, and I believe that recognizing how you
can best serve is a vital and underappreciated aspect of good
leadership. It is often difficult, but important, to be able to admit
when we may have fallen short of expectations, so I commend you for
having the courage to do so.
It has been a pleasure watching you grow up since you first joined the
NABS listserv on the heels of my presidency in 2011. Although we have
not yet interacted face-to-face much, I have always enjoyed your
thoughtful posts here on the listserv. Now that I am officially a
Maryland resident, I look forward to working with you in the Maryland
affiliate, and if you ever want to get the perspective of a past NABS
leader as you work through your state student division business, don't
hesitate to reach out.

Cordially, Arielle

chris,
I want to say I'm proud of you for making this transition. It takes a lot of

Best,

I will listen too as long as I have power and a good internet connection. We 
have storms in the DC area which may interfere with connections.

Good luck to all in the show. Thank you to those who are streaming it.
Will it also be recorded?
Last year, David  Dumphy also rebroadcast it on his show and I liked that 
since I tuned into the  rebroadcast.

Thanks.

Hi all,
     It was nice seeing you all at convention. I am a little late to this, but I just installed the latest software update for the iPhone. I find the new Voiceover sounds when you lock your phone very annoying. Also, I have Touch ID, and now they changed it so you have to press the home button instead of just placing my finger on it. When I forget, it makes another annoying sound. I turned Voiceover off and none of these sounds happened, so it is clearly a Voiceover thing. After some research, I realized that the only way to rectify this is to turn sound affects off under Voiceover settings. I do not like doing this because I like the noises for flicking and double tapping. I have sucked it up and just turned sound affects off. However, if anyone else is annoyed by this, please email accessibility at apple.com <mailto:accessibility at apple.com>. I also left feedback with someone from Accessibility by phone, but she recommended email as well. I have also heard that contacting Customer Relations is good. Everyone that does not like these changes should use as many avenues as possible to let Apple know our thoughts. We should also let each other on this list and on online forums what we think. Thanks all, and I am hoping I am not opening a can of worms with this feedback and this message.
Best,
Mikayla

Hello!
Do you have any particular specs in mind? Size, additional features, etc.?
I'm afraid I haven't looked at talking watches in years so am probably not
particularly helpful. I did find these search results though: there are
certainly more options now than there were back in the day.
Braille Superstore: http://www.braillebookstore.com/Talking-Watches
MaxiAids: https://www.maxiaids.com/talking-watches
Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/talking-watches

I hope this is somewhat helpful.

Hello,
Unfortunately the only solution for getting rid of the specific sound effects is the one you already discovered. However, you can make it to where you do not have to press the home button down to unlock your phone. Go to settings>general>accessibility>home button, and turn on "rest finger to open".

I hope that everyone here is doing well and, for those of you who were
at cobvebtion this past week I hope that it was good one for you all!
well, I have a problem and, I need some help here. besides being blind

2003 in Louisville I passed all of the pamphelets about this rare
syndrome which was done bty a woman who lives in Hawaii. well, the
pamphlet was done in 2007 and, a few weeks ago I went to download and,
I tried using jfw by reading it in msword with converting the pdf into
ms word. I couldn't read it all! i tried reading it in notepad and, it
read in Chinese! so, i called the webaster of this and, she would send
me a copy of it in txt format and, i gave her my ccurrent email
address. i also asked her to send me glossey of this pamphlet and, i
gave her my mailing address here in Colorado. i haven't received a
thing from her! imo she didn't want to do a thing for me which is
rude, disrespectful and, not professional!  so, yesterday i downloaded
the latest of adobe acrobat reader dc and, it sstill didn't read it

I would suggest checking out Blind Mice Mega Mall. What are you looking for in a watch? Is fashion an important factor? What features do you want? Examples include, ability to change the voice, volume control, multiple alarms, and spoken date.  Also, have you considered either a Braille or smart watch?

Dear NABS:

 

It was great to meet those of you that were at the just-concluded annual
convention of the National Federation of the Blind. I'm glad that, while
there, I paid to become a member of NABS!

 

The National convention invigorated me and energized me more than I ever
have been to get involved in the efforts of the NABS Division -whether it be
writing letters in support of our priority legislation, or involving myself
in any other matter (including putting together letters of opposition
regarding the legislation we do not support) necessary to further the work
of NABS.

 

I look forward to engaging with each and every one of you to, in addition to
the above, go build the Federation!

 

Please feel free to reach out (and I, too, will reach out) if there's
anything I can do to be of assistance!

 

Sincerely,

 

Cory McMahon

Hi Amy,
Could you please send the link to the list so we can see what you mean? It sounds like it might be a scanned image rather than text, so converting to MS Word with an online converter or similar might not work so well. If you send it to me I can try using Kurzweil to create a more accessible version.
Thanks,
Sarah

I can't remember the brand I have, but I can tell you what features I
wanted.

* the ability to set alarms

* an hourly chime, which means the watch tells me the time every hour

* talking date

The talking watch I have tells me what to do when I go to set the modes like
hourly chime. Whn setting a mode, the buttons that don't work when I set a
particular mode don't talk, which is very helpful.

Try running it through robobraille. It's an OCR service and works better
than Kurzweil IMO.

Hi Emma,

Perhaps this is a solution to your question. Pages 14 and 17 seem to
explain moving back and forth between languages and changing speech rate
and so forth.

OCR Language—on Image Capture screen swiping right from Batch Mode. The
KNFB Reader app is able to recognize and read printed materials in several
languages including: ● English, ● French, ● German, ● Dutch, ● Italian, ●
Spanish, ● Swedish, ● Norwegian, ● Portuguese, ● Danish, ● Finnish, ●
Turkish, ● Polish. To select an alternative text recognition language,
double tap the OCR language button and use the language picker to select
the desired language and double tap the done button to return to the image
capture screen. Please note that you can limit the number of shown
languages on the picker in the settings.

 Students board

Fellow Students:

 

It is my honor, with great excitement, to introduce the 2017-18 NABS Board.

President: Kathryn Webster

1st Vice President: Michael Ausbun

2nd Vice President: Syed Rizvi

Treasurer: Cody Beardslee

Secretary: Chelsea Peahl

Board Member 1: Shannon Cantan

Board Member 2: Tarik Williams

Board Member 3: Luke Schwinck

Board Member 4: Bryan Duarte

 

As we embark on this next year of NABS, we are seeking involvement, input,
and ideas from our membership. Each of you are the building blocks to our
village; and our work could not progress without your efforts. Once
committees are assigned, an announcement will be distributed to our
membership. Stay tuned!

 

I must take a moment to thank those leaders who have completed their
leadership position in NABS. Thank you to Bre Brown, Chris Nusbaum, and Vee
Gaspa for the eagerness and commitment to our movement. I know that the
energy and love you will continue putting into our organization will remain,
as a formal title means nothing when it comes to getting things done. A
special shout out to the immediate past 1st Vice President of NABS. Bre
Brown has been my rock, our supporter, and our friend. I am so gracious for
her leadership and exemplary attitude. As she shared with us during the
annual meeting last Tuesday, she is a life-long leader in the Federation,
and her leadership will not cease at the student level and beyond.

 

We are geared up for an exceptional year; and all of our new NABS leaders
want to get to know you. 

 

Love in our movement,

The 2017-18 National Association of Blind Students Board of Directors

Dear President Webster and all,

First, congratulations to the newly-elected board; I'm truly confident in
your leadership, and look very forward to what's in store.

Second: I have a confession: I cried during President Webster's speech last
Tuesday, and I'm crying now (hoping no one is seeing me do so.) You see...
It is often discussed in the Missouri affiliate that our affiliate is a
family, and when attending my first National Convention (with many, many
more to come) it did not take virtually any time at all for me to come to
the realization that the Federation is truly a family at the National level,
too. (I notice this through e-mail to list-survs, and personal interaction
with each other.)

In the interest of complete honesty and transparency, there were many times
this past week during which I felt alone because I wasn't sure how to
integrate and make friendships at the National level without interrupting a
conversation (which turns people off.)

While I had difficulty with my in-person integration into the National
movement this year, I look forward, as I believe I articulated last night,
to being an active member of NABS, assisting in any way I can.

I truly look forward to what the upcoming year brings.

Thank you for indulging me.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Thank you for introducing the board. That was a nice thank you you gave to Bre. She has truly done a lot for our organization. I look forward to hearing when committees are assigned.
MikaylaYou are so right, a formal title does not mean anything when it comes to getting work done. Congratulations to all.

hello cory and all,
I too want to express my sincere congratulations to the new board for
nabs. I'm glad that you came to convention this year cory and, that
you found the federation on a national level and, I hope to see you
next year in Orlando. as for not coming to Orlando I listened to the
stream of the nabs seminar on kjsco radio and, I thought that chris
did a awesome job in doing the mc for the event! chris you are awesome
and definitely we will meet next year in Orlando. so cudos to chris
and, his awesome job!  I hope to meet many of you on this list and,
also in meeting you all in person next year at Washington seminar or
national convention. I'm here for you all! take care and, I will talk
to you all soon!



hugs always,
amy

hello cory and all,
I too want to express my sincere congratulations to the new board for nabs.
I'm glad that you came to convention this year cory and, that you found the
federation on a national level and, I hope to see you next year in Orlando.
as for not coming to Orlando I listened to the stream of the nabs seminar on
kjsco radio and, I thought that chris did a awesome job in doing the mc for
the event! chris you are awesome and definitely we will meet next year in
Orlando. so cudos to chris and, his awesome job!  I hope to meet many of you
on this list and, also in meeting you all in person next year at Washington
seminar or national convention. I'm here for you all! take care and, I will
talk to you all soon!



hugs always,
amy

Hello,
 I posted about this before, but I will be giving my presentation on
 assistive technology in front of the entire company. I do not know
 when I am presenting, but I need to be prepared to present any time
 since the next event is coming up in a couple weeks. I have a question
 I was hoping someone could help with. I have a portable copy of Nvda
 on a flash drive. I was hoping to use that since I can plug it in to
 the computer in the room, but I cannot use my Brailliant when I am
 running Nvda from the flash drive without installing the usb driver on
 the computer. Our computers don't have Bluetooth capability; otherwise
 I would connect via Bluetooth. Does anyone have any suggestions on how
 to work around this? I don't think I could effectively give the
 presentation without the braille display. I no longer have my apex, so
 using a note taker will not work. If anyone has ever given a
 Powerpoint without a braille display or knows of a way I can still use
 my Brailliant while running Nvda portably, please let me know. Feel
 free to write me off list at piano.girl0299 at gmail.com. I look forward
 to hearing from you.
 Kind regards,
 Kelsey Nicolay

Kelsey, 
Your best bet is going to be to write your notes out in hardcopy Braille and rehearse so that you know when the slides switch. You could use a slate and stylus or a Perkins Brailler if you have one. This is about the only way to accomplish what you want without a way to hook up a Braille display to the computer. You don’t want to be tied to headphones during your presentation, so hardcopy Braille will be the best way.
Hope this helps,
Aleeha

Friends, several blind people have been recipients of scholarships in these programs and have been able to study overseas and learn foreign languages, etc, because of these opportunities. Please sign the petition and ask your legislators to vote for continued support of this program. As a language professor, I cannot say enough about the value of this type of study for students and faculty. We cannot afford to lose this support.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Kelsey,
Would it be possible to bring your own laptop for the presentation?
This way you will be able to   use the assistive technology set-up
that you are most comfortable with. Many sighted presenters I know
request to use their own laptops to give talks even when there is
already a computer in the room, so I believe that this is fairly
common practice. Just a thought!

Kelsey, I use JAWS.  What I did was got my laptop set up in the front
of the room.  Then, I put in some earphones, I think I only used one
ear, and left the other out, but either way, I plugged in earphones to
my PC, then I just used page down, or space bar to maneuver through
the power point. Make sure you get some ear phones with a longer cord
so you have a little play and you can move around comfortably

I love hand-outs virsus powerpoints because, with a powerpoint, I feel like
I'm frequently wondering about information which I'm concerned isn't
adequately described; therefore, would echo the suggestion articulated
below.

Sincerely,

Hi,
I hope everyone has had a great convention.
The CABS conference call is tomorrow at 8.  We have a new number to call.
That number is 5157391031.  The access code is still 958093, as before.
Hope to see you there,
Vejas

Friends, several blind people have been recipients of scholarships in these
programs and have been able to study overseas and learn foreign languages,
etc, because of these opportunities. Please sign the petition and ask your
legislators to vote for continued support of this program. As a language
professor, I cannot say enough about the value of this type of study for
students and faculty. We cannot afford to lose this support.

Thank you for your support.

The braille method would work also.  However, you'll have to figure out a way to  control the powerpoitn presentation.  Remember, you are presenting for your fellow professionals, so you got to find a comfortable and fluid way ot execute.  Use braille if you can, or if you need to, but you've got to find a way to be able to control your powerpoint.  
I'm only giving you what I did which worked for me.

Kelsey,
Your best bet is going to be to write your notes out in hardcopy Braille and rehearse so that you know when the slides switch. You could use a slate and stylus or a Perkins Brailler if you have one. This is about the only way to accomplish what you want without a way to hook up a Braille display to the computer. You don’t want to be tied to headphones during your presentation, so hardcopy Braille will be the best way.
Hope this helps,
Aleeha

Hello students!

We came away from convention with the determination that will fuel us
for the next year, as we seek to improve the lives of blind students.
In particular, the last few months have been pivotal for CABS, as we
grow our membership and undergo various other organizational changes.
As such, it is now more important than ever that we continue reaching
out to prospective members, as well as others who can help us with
outreach.

Additionally, we are approaching another California convention, and
CABS has great things in store! If you can't come join us, keep up
with our activities on Facebook and Twitter, and share this email and
the links to our social media pages with your friends.

Our next conference call will be on Wednesday, August 16 at 8:00
Pacific, which is 9:00 (Mountain), 10:00 (Central), and 11:00
(Eastern). Please join us if you are able to... We look forward to the
insight you are sure to bring!

Tyler:

I may be a bit biased, as I am a staff member of KJSC Radio and therefore delight in any promotion our station receives. However, I must point out that the guidelines of all NFBNet lists, including this one, allow for posts related to the activities of the Federation and our divisions. Under this provision, I think this post would absolutely be appropriate, as it concerns KJSC's coverage of an NFB-sanctioned event (the talent show) at the NFB national convention. Also, our first promotional email announcing the streaming of the NABS meeting and the talent show was posted by Dave Andrews to the NFBNet Members List, which means that it was sent to all members of most of our lists. This list is so strictly moderated that each post must go through Dave before it is posted. So, though I'm no longer on the NABS board and don't have the authority of a moderator, I would see these as sufficient grounds to deem this promotion appropriate. If one of our moderators objects to this, please don't hesitate to let us know and we (KJSC Radio) will refrain from posting our promotions here in the future.

hello david and all,
thanks for always postinbg this announcement for the talent show to be
aired on the station tonight! I will try to catch the first part since
I missed the first part of it when it aired on the night of it but, I
was late in tuning in because my kitty decided to play on the computer
and, hit down the arrown on it so, I had no sound on my computer for
the entire day!  so, also chris thanks for clarifying to the other
person on the list on the announcement about this show tonight! if he
doesn't want tolisten in or interested in finding out the performing
arts division or the talent show that's his privledge and providage...
so, that's my food for thought on this!  so, take care all and, I will
talk to you all soon!



hugs,
amy

Matthew and Cricket,
Do you mind emailing me the preregistration link? I went to the NFB of
California website and there is no link to preregister under the
conventions page. A friend of mine and I from Texas want to attend
your convention ( I grew up in California).

Thanks

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,

Someone will post a link to the pre-registration page on a bunch of the email lists at some point in the near future. I will at some point this evening. I just need to get to a computer. We welcome all students that are interested. And just everyone in general, regardless of your state.

Best,

Hi all,
In a few weeks, I'll be heading to Costa Rica and I would like zip line there. I was wondering how, as a blind person, do you stop yourself at the end?

Hi Kaley:

I went ziplining when I attended LCB. Typically, you don't have to stop yourself. You should be able to tell when it is slowing down though. It's a lot of fun. Does that make sense?

I hope you enjoy it.

Best regards,
Mikaela

Hey there!

As requested, here is the pre-registration link for the NFB of
California 2017 state convention! We welcome you all, regardless of
what state you live in. This year is all about releasing that which
holds you back... So don't let state lines be the boundary that keeps
you from attending! We hope to see you all there! This year is
particularly pivotal for CABS, as we undergo significant changes in
leadership, as well as in other areas of importance. Come join us as
we celebrate long-time leaders and welcome new ones.

http://www.nfbcal.org/nfbcnew/2017/06/2017-state-convention-pre-registration/

All the best,
Your friends at CABS

Hi All,
Yes, I realize convention just ended, but I was wondering what information we have about next year? Do we have a possible date, and do we know which Rosen hotel? I’m just wondering, already excited for next year.

hello cullin and all,
thanks for your interest in finding out about national convention.
unfortunately, I wasn't there but, some of the nabs members who were
there will tell you more when national will be at next year. but, if
not then check the braille monitor in January of 2018 where they will
put out the convention bulletin where they will tell the name of the
hotel, the dates, and how you can make your hotel reservations. the
hotel fills up pretty quick and fast so, make your hotel reservations
asap so, can you can get a room at the hotel. I did this in 2015 and,
it worked out great! so, I would recommend to do that!  I hope that
your experience at national convention was a success for you and, if
not then there's next year!  well, that's all for now take care and, I
will talk to you soon!




hugs,
amy

Hello all,

Last semester I was denied accommodations for a math class. When I contacted the national Center, I was advised to file an official complaint with my college. However, I found it rather difficult to complete the complaint form on my own, and the national office was not willing to provide any assistance in  helping me Phil out the complaint form. So I have not done anything to follow up with the lack of accommodations I received last semester as I had a difficult time keeping up with my classes when I got sick during the second half of the semester.


I would like to be able to continue taking classes so I can complete my degree even though I've been told that it will most likely not mean anything. However, I am not quite sure how to go about receiving the accommodations I need for my math classes. Since I do not know Braille very well, or how to make a computer read all of the math symbols, I have found that using a reader for my math classes works the best for me. However, last semester my disabilities office provided me with a reader Who was not qualified to read math, and would not allow me to use any other reader besides the one they had a sign to me including my own reader, so I was forced to drop my math class due to a lack of accommodations.


I am not completely sure where to go from here in terms of being able to receive the accommodations I need for my math classes. I have been told that the dean of students would like to talk to me. But I am not completely sure what to say to her, and I do not feel comfortable meeting with her on my own. The college has a past history of being rather hostile and aggressive towards me. So I do not feel comfortable meeting with people at my college on my own when I am not completely sure  what the purpose of the meeting is supposed to be.


Anyway, if there is anyone out there Who would be willing to help me receive the accommodations I need for my math classes, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you off list. I feel as though I have not had much success in contacting individual people, so I thought I would send out a mass email to see if this might help me find someone who is willing and able  to help provide me with some advocacy assistance and receiving the accommodations I need for my math classes.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Unfortunately, our national office does not have the resources to help all individuals file complaints, but I may be able to help you find some local assistance. It would be helpful if you let me know what school you are attending, and in what state? Have you reached out to your local affiliate for help?
Have you asked anyone in the DSS office to assist you file the complaint?

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. I have already tried contacting various leaders within my state affiliate and local chapter as well as various people on my college campus without much success. Since I was not successful in receiving any advocacy assistance from any of these individuals, I thought I would send out a mass email seeking advocacy assistance from others as contacting people individually is rather tedious when these efforts do not proved to be successful.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I have already tried contacting various leaders within my state affiliate and local chapter as well as various people on my college campus without much success. Since I was not successful in receiving any advocacy assistance from any of these individuals, I thought I would send out a mass email seeking advocacy assistance from others as contacting people individually is rather tedious when these efforts do not proved to be successful.

Hi Larry,

Is Elizabeth in Michigan?  What college does she attend?  I am sure we can get her assistance if we can find out the facts.

Thanks.

Most sincerely,

Hi Elizabeth,
I commend your efforts to pursue a college degree despite some obstacles 
facing you. We met briefly at the Virginia state convention years ago, but 
you may not remember me which is okay.

I'm glad you reached out to us. I assume the NFB leaders may not help you as 
they have a lot on their plates both with NFB, their own work, and any 
personal family stuff they do. I've been ignored by state leaders too or it 
may take a long time to receive responses.

I feel your pain about accomodations. While I do not have the exact issue, I 
was also denied accomodations in classes. Most of the time the accomodation 
sought was accessible copies of visuals such as powerpoint slides or charts. 
Usually, I eventually got them, but this was too late in the semester to be 
useful. I've also received accessible textbooks late through the disability 
office and this put me behind my reading for the class.

I used a combo of large print and a reader for math. I know you need a 
qualified reader.
Please contact me off list. I will be out of town  a week. However, when I 
return,
I am happy to be in touch. I would like to  speak to you about this. I can 
help you research places in your area which might be of help. One advocacy 
group comes to mind is the American Civil Liberties Union which has chapters 
in every state.
Also, I am happy to speak to college staff and officials for you as well 
once I have more details.

Sorry you are going through this. I don't know how to reach you off list. 
You can contact me at bookwormahb at earthlink.net.

Ashley

Subject: [nabs-l] Seeking advocacy assistance for college accommodations

Hello all,

Last semester I was denied accommodations for a math class. When I contacted 
the national Center, I was advised to file an official complaint with my 
college. However, I found it rather difficult to complete the complaint form 
on my own, and the national office was not willing to provide any assistance 
in  helping me Phil out the complaint form. So I have not done anything to 
follow up with the lack of accommodations I received last semester as I had 
a difficult time keeping up with my classes when I got sick during the 
second half of the semester.


I would like to be able to continue taking classes so I can complete my 
degree even though I've been told that it will most likely not mean 
anything. However, I am not quite sure how to go about receiving the 
accommodations I need for my math classes. Since I do not know Braille very 
well, or how to make a computer read all of the math symbols, I have found 
that using a reader for my math classes works the best for me. However, last 
semester my disabilities office provided me with a reader Who was not 
qualified to read math, and would not allow me to use any other reader 
besides the one they had a sign to me including my own reader, so I was 
forced to drop my math class due to a lack of accommodations.


I am not completely sure where to go from here in terms of being able to 
receive the accommodations I need for my math classes. I have been told that 
the dean of students would like to talk to me. But I am not completely sure 
what to say to her, and I do not feel comfortable meeting with her on my 
own. The college has a past history of being rather hostile and aggressive 
towards me. So I do not feel comfortable meeting with people at my college 
on my own when I am not completely sure  what the purpose of the meeting is 
supposed to be.


Anyway, if there is anyone out there Who would be willing to help me receive 
the accommodations I need for my math classes, I would greatly appreciate 
hearing from you off list. I feel as though I have not had much success in 
contacting individual people, so I thought I would send out a mass email to 
see if this might help me find someone who is willing and able  to help 
provide me with some advocacy assistance and receiving the accommodations I 
need for my math classes.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

FACS deals more with baking or the Colaneri arts or interests that are more at the familial level if you will. psychology is the study of the mind, and it's behaviors in certain contexts.

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.

Family and consumer science focuses on family and community systems, and psychology focuses on the brain and its development on a micro level.

Michael is right about AIM not being used much, but my experiences were
somewhat different.  Older versions of AIM were not always easy to use but
were accessible.  However, sometime last spring, AOL made a change that
prevented version 7 of AIM to no longer work with the AIM server.  They
required an upgrade to a newer version, I believe version 8, and I found
that version to not be accessible at that time.  I used AIM very little and
gave up on it at that point, and it is possible that there have been newer
versions of AIM that corrected the problems I encountered.  However, unless
AOL has really backed down, the older versions of AIM won't work on the
newer servers.  If someone has more recent experience, though, I would
certainly be interested to hear what they have found.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I just went zip lining in Costa Rica a few weeks ago and have also been other places. It depends on how the line is set up. Some places have a set up where the guide can actually brake for you. At the place I went most recently, the guides shook the line when it was time to start braking. They did this for everyone, not just for me. 

Have a great time in Costa Rica.

Best,
Greg

Hi Guys,
I have recently looked into this as well, and found that version 8.0 isn't
accessible with JAWS.
Thanks,

Hi all,

As others have said, the latest version of AIM is unfortunately not
accessible at all with JAWS. Although very few people use AIM these
days, I did use AIM 7 to access Gchat on a regular basis so was
frustrated when AOL blocked all older versions of the software. If
anyone has suggestions for other accessible instant messengers that
can integrate with Gchat I would most appreciate it. I have been using
the instant messenger on my Braille Note Apex, which is not very
reliable. Thanks!

Hello All!
By request, here is the link to download this year's NFB 2017 Showcase
Of Talent.
Since there were some issues grabbing this file last year when the
2016 show was put up, you have two links with which to choose. So if
the first one doesn't work, try the second.
Download link1 For This Year's 2017 Showcase Of Talent:
https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/sr8huk

If the above link gives you problems, use this one to grab the file:
http://djdrocks.online/NFBPADTalentShow-2017.mp3

Enjoy the talent show download, and email me at
ddunphy at cocenter.org
if you have any questions or problems.
As a side note, if you're interested in the replay of the Nabs
(National Association Of Blind Students) meeting, that will be
replayed at 8 PM eastern on KJSC Radio
http://onj.me/kjscradio
for those who would like to listen to that tonight.

As someone pointed out, near the end, you slow down, and seem to go 
uphill a little.  That tells you that you are near end.  You can put 
your feet up a little, so they touch first, although probably isn't 
necessary. I did it once in Costa Rica, and there were people on the 
platform, where you end, and they grabbed me.  They know how to 
handle tourists.

Like many things, I worried about it a little, and it didn't turn out 
to be that big a deal!

to be more specific

psychology is the study of the brain and behavior on the individual 
level. We look at group stuff some, but the big focus is on the 
individual. I'm a psych major if you have more questions.

Hi everyone, for those of you who attended Louisiana Center for the Blind, how long was it before Mrs. Allen contacted you and your counselor to start training. I've sent all of the paperwork in, but that was three weeks before convention. The reason I'm asking is because I'm weighing my options. I'm thinking of either taking some online college courses and volunteering in my community while I wait or applying to either Bism or Colorado Center For the Blind.
Look forward to your responses
Brianna

Hi Brianna:

I was in touch with Pam Allen the entire time I worked on receiving funding from vocational rehab and applying to attend the Center. You should email her. She is great at responding quickly. Please feel free to email me off list if you have any more questions.

Best regards,
Mikaela

to be more specific

psychology is the study of the brain and behavior on the individual level.
We look at group stuff some, but the big focus is on the individual. I'm a
psych major if you have more questions.

Well they were close for the last week. So I suggest if you have Mrs. Alan's contact information to send her an email just to see what your status is. They will be back in the office tomorrow.

Good News! I have completed my Ph.D. and have accepted a tenure-track professor position with West Chester University. Thanks to all who have participated in my previous research as well as this ongoing policy project. I need more participation for this policy project and would be grateful for any assistance. Again, the current state of the DOJ all but ensures the issue of online accessibility of commercial websites will not be resolved legislatively at any point in the near future. The Winn-Dixie decision was huge, but could take years to resonate.



This research focuses on the consumer behavior side of the issue and how opinions on these policies impact future purchasing decisions. The survey should take about 10 minutes and you will be entered in a drawing to win a $300 Amazon gift card. The project has been approved by the university’s IRB, and you may contact me with any questions (acohen2 at wcupa.edu). Thank You!

Good afternoon.  With me, it depended on a few things.  Pam is quite
busy with a few things, so sometimes it takes her a bit longer to get
to new applicants.  I have found that a healthy doce of remember me?
kind of works if used sparingly.  The best advice I can give is just
to reach out via email and ask about the status of your application.

Hi,
Have you indicated when you want to start training? I started in September of 2015 and Pam knew I wanted to start around then. There were also 7 other students that started around the same time I did, so she still has to probably figure that out for this year.
Her email is pallen at louisianacenter.org. As a general rule, I think it's better to email or call/text a person first before putting it out on a public forum--you don't want to make the person feel bad.

Brianna:

As an LCB alum, I'm so excited that you're considering training at LCB! I
would advise you to do the volunteer or college work you are planning while
you go through the process of starting training. When Pam contacts your
counselor about starting training, a long and sometimes arduous process is
touched off which involves all the paperwork required for your rehab agency
to fund your LCB program. This can sometimes take several months, so I would
encourage you to use the ideas you have to be productive while the red tape
is sifted through. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any
questions or need any guidance as you begin this journey!

Best of luck,

Chris

Hi everyone, for those of you who attended Louisiana Center for the Blind,
how long was it before Mrs. Allen contacted you and your counselor to start
training. I've sent all of the paperwork in, but that was three weeks before
convention. The reason I'm asking is because I'm weighing my options. I'm
thinking of either taking some online college courses and volunteering in my
community while I wait or applying to either Bism or Colorado Center For the
Blind.
Look forward to your responses

Subject: [nabs-l] NVDA lag issues
Message-ID: <5E3A0EC7-FAB8-45C1-9751-41379865CFA1@gmail.com>

Hey everyone, 

I use NVDA in my office to run accessibility tests on a program we're building and for the last week my colleague and I have been having major lagging issues with NVDA. I don't see any updates available but we're both running NVDA on Windows 10 on PCs with 8GB RAM and spend half our days re-booting from a cold start just to get the screen talking again. I'm not a regular NVDA user otherwise and I'm wondering if any daily users are experiencing similar problems? Any tips would be greatly appreciated since it's slowing our progress. 

Thanks,

Meaghan

Meaghan,

I don't know if these suggestions will help, but here they are.  First,
Windows 10 does some checking and downloading that sometimes is initiated
when it starts up.  You might try rebooting your computer as you have
already done, but then just waiting ten minutes or so before starting
serious testing.  I am not saying you always need to do that, although
waiting a minute or two after booting is not a bad practice.  Windows
Defender also scans your system periodically and that can have an effect.  

The second thing I would suggest is to try a different speech engine in case
the speech you are using is being affected by something.  

A third suggestion is to try closing NVDA and starting Narrator when you
have a problem to see if Narrator is affected.  If Narrator is running all
right, that points a finger at NVDA.  If you have any other screen readers,
check performance out with them as well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Folks,

In the past month or so, my system, using JAWS, slows down markedly.
Occasionally I have to reboot.  I have thought that the issues might be
coming from my Windows backup program, or from Excel.

You might try the NVDA "resource monitor" add-on for some insight?

Hi Steve and Louis,

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we are not using JAWS because we run
these tests for the largest markets and that's for users running NVDA. If
it were up to me we'd be using JAWS, though. Thanks for the help; I'm
hoping it works.

Best,

Meaghan

Hi Elizabeth,
I hope you are doing okay. It sounds like you've had a rough term and I am
so sorry to hear this. I know you need practical solutions, but I think it
is only fair of me to acknowledge your challenges first and tell you that
you will get through this, hopefully with some happy memories in addition to
your accommodations woes.

As to your degree "not meaning anything", I would disagree. Your degree is a
great accomplishment, especially given the challenges you've faced. You can
feel proud of yourself that you have come this far and will soon finish. Not
to mention the greater opportunities available to you with any higher
education.

Anyway, enough with my rambling. I can't provide NFB-based solutions, but I
feel your pain regarding math-related accommodations. So many schools are
unused to blind people taking these subjects that they don't know how to
handle it. They're also often not usually fans of math themselves, so don't
understand how and why the right readers etc. are so important. All that
being said, there are definitely options out there.

Just so I can give the most useful suggestions (I am finishing a degree in
economics so have had to take many math-related courses in university over
the years), what is your vision like? If Braille isn't an option, do you use
a screen reader? Or do you use magnification instead. Obviously a reader is
ideal, but if you wanted to access material in other forms, having a
computer-based solution is an idea.

Also, have you considered talking to your instructor(s) directly? I know
that this can be intimidating, but they might know a graduate student who
could act as a reader, or they might work with you to come up with a
solution everyone can live with. They're most familiar with their course
content, so can have a sense of how things could be altered if and where
necessary.

Please feel free to write me off list if you wish, but let us all know how
things are going so we can support you as a team.

All the very best,
Sarah

Subject: [nabs-l] Seeking advocacy assistance for college accommodations

Hello all,

Last semester I was denied accommodations for a math class. When I contacted
the national Center, I was advised to file an official complaint with my
college. However, I found it rather difficult to complete the complaint form
on my own, and the national office was not willing to provide any assistance
in  helping me Phil out the complaint form. So I have not done anything to
follow up with the lack of accommodations I received last semester as I had
a difficult time keeping up with my classes when I got sick during the
second half of the semester.


I would like to be able to continue taking classes so I can complete my
degree even though I've been told that it will most likely not mean
anything. However, I am not quite sure how to go about receiving the
accommodations I need for my math classes. Since I do not know Braille very
well, or how to make a computer read all of the math symbols, I have found
that using a reader for my math classes works the best for me. However, last
semester my disabilities office provided me with a reader Who was not
qualified to read math, and would not allow me to use any other reader
besides the one they had a sign to me including my own reader, so I was
forced to drop my math class due to a lack of accommodations.


I am not completely sure where to go from here in terms of being able to
receive the accommodations I need for my math classes. I have been told that
the dean of students would like to talk to me. But I am not completely sure
what to say to her, and I do not feel comfortable meeting with her on my
own. The college has a past history of being rather hostile and aggressive
towards me. So I do not feel comfortable meeting with people at my college
on my own when I am not completely sure  what the purpose of the meeting is
supposed to be.


Anyway, if there is anyone out there Who would be willing to help me receive
the accommodations I need for my math classes, I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you off list. I feel as though I have not had much success in
contacting individual people, so I thought I would send out a mass email to
see if this might help me find someone who is willing and able  to help
provide me with some advocacy assistance and receiving the accommodations I
need for my math classes.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

what to say to her, and I do not feel comfortable meeting with her on my
own. The college has a past history of being rather hostile and aggressive
towards me. So I do not feel comfortable meeting with people at my college
on my own when I am not completely sure  what the purpose of the meeting is
supposed to be.


Anyway, if there is anyone out there Who would be willing to help me receive
the accommodations I need for my math classes, I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you off list. I feel as though I have not had much success in
contacting individual people, so I thought I would send out a mass email to
see if this might help me find someone who is willing and able  to help
provide me with some advocacy assistance and receiving the accommodations I
need for my math classes.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Steve and Louis,

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we are not using JAWS because we run
these tests for the largest markets and that's for users running NVDA. If it
were up to me we'd be using JAWS, though. Thanks for the help; I'm hoping it
works.

Best,

Meaghan

Hello NABS Friends,
I just got a BrailleNote Touch a couple of days ago and am loving it so far! But I'm having a bit of trouble downloading books from Bookshare. I select DAISY format and pres the Download button. But when I go to find the book in the Downloads folder or Victor Reader folder, I don't find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: <CAMuaAOKVp8Jq8g6cm1BO+2cbc5pBLor77kEjSHnVQMGuCEk1MA@mail.gmail.com>

Howdy Nabsters,
I hope that you are all doing well. I have decided to take on a second
Master's Degree program in Social Work. The University that I am
currently enrolled in does not offer a Master's Degree in Social Work
with a  focus in Counseling. Therefore, I am going to apply to the
University that I received my BSW in. My other MSW Degree will be
focussed in Disability Rights Advocacy.

This University requires that I take the GRE, so I was wondering if
anyone who has taken it has any studying techniques advice. I do have
several study guides, but if there is anything that has proven to be
beneficial for you, I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you in advance,

Jonathan Franks BSW
Treasurer
Texas Association of Blind Students
Graduate Student
Master's of Social Work Program

-- 
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 Jonathan,
I'm a fellow GRE taker for this fall! Woohoo!
I took it back in 2011, but those scores are no longer good for current grad
school applications.
Anyway, some tips at least for the verbal section. I found the Cracking the
GRE by the Princeton Review to be the most comprehensive and helpful study
guide. Aside from the strategies the book discusses, honestly, knowing words
is the most helpful trick. 
I created flashcards for myself, and added about fifty each week, the word
on the front and the definition in the back. I'm not sure how good your
Braille skills are, but using one of the 5 by 8 index cards worked really
well. Then I just took them wherever I went, and whenever I had  even a
second I'd take a look. The Princeton Review has a series of Word Smart
books, which are available through Bookshare, definitely get the latest
edition and learn as many as you possibly can. 
For the math, I suggest getting a tutor. I found that the techniques the
Princeton Review book provided were quite good, but inaccessible if you
can't see diagrams. So working with someone who can describe the technique
and then figuring out how you can make it work for you would probably be
helpful.
Last, find and take as many practice tests as you can. Bookshare has a
number of books that are made up of just practice tests. You can find
practice questions online as well, and definitely take advantage of the ETS
brailled practice test. It's only one, but it really helps with getting an
idea of how they draw out the math diagrams, graphs etc.
I understand that Kaplan also has quite a good study guide, but I can't
speak to it directly. As I said though, no matter what guide you use, learn
many many words, figure out the strategies that work for you personally, do
practice tests, and you'll breeze right through the day of the test. 
Please contact me directly if you'd like to chat further.
Thanks.
Mary

Howdy Nabsters,
I hope that you are all doing well. I have decided to take on a second
Master's Degree program in Social Work. The University that I am currently
enrolled in does not offer a Master's Degree in Social Work with a  focus in
Counseling. Therefore, I am going to apply to the University that I received
my BSW in. My other MSW Degree will be focussed in Disability Rights
Advocacy.

This University requires that I take the GRE, so I was wondering if anyone
who has taken it has any studying techniques advice. I do have several study
guides, but if there is anything that has proven to be beneficial for you, I
would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you in advance,

Message-ID: <F681D810-2743-4AE8-9652-D9FB7EC23223@gmail.com>

Hi all Apex users still out there,
I have run into a new problem with Keymail. I don't know if this may have to do with the fact that the Apex is getting older, and  Google keeps giving out new updates. 
But I have 4 email accounts and there are 2 accounts which I can't check using Keymail. I get a response saying "pop error, auth login required" with an IP address but no direct link to click on.  I can access my accounts on the phone  and on the Gmail website no problem, just not with Keymail. I've already tried resetting and re-entering the information, to no avail.  Sometimes when I try to check on Keymail and get the error, I get an email on my recovery email saying that Google attempted to stop an account break-in. Anyone been through this?
Thanks,
Vejas

Hello federation family,
My name is shikha desai, and i am a senior at Georgia State University. My major is social work. My dream is to get my master degree in social work in Marylamd. I have found out that salsberry university, morgan state, and university of Maryland are the three colleges in Marylamd which offer a MSW. The problem is that these three colleges are super expensive. Should I still apply for these schools? Or should i listen to my parents and get my msw at the same college that i am currently attending? I am not sure what to do because I just got a new vr counselor and I don't think vr will pay for grad school. My parents want me to go to grad school at the school i am currently attending so they can help me. I don't know how I will be able to pay for grad school if i do get accepted to one of the colleges in Marylamd. Sorry for the long message. 
Thanks,
Shikha.

Hi, Shikha.

If a Master's degree is required in order to work in a particular field (as it is for social work), you can make a case with VR for payment for graduate work. Your vocational goal should be to be a social worker. You cannot work in this job without a Master's degree.

In terms of whether to follow your parents' advice, it is always wise to apply to more than one graduate school. If more than one school accepts you, you can choose the one that is best able to meet your needs. If only one accepts you, then your choice is very clear.

HTH.

hello chicqa,
that's wonderful that you want to pursue your degree ibn social work
in th Maryland! my sister has her associates and her ba in human
services and, she wants to pursue her passion in that field! as for
pursuing your dreams for going out of state to college you should
uruse your dreams! many students here on this list and, also myself
had to leave their home state to pursue their dreams and go to
colleges for their ba or their ms degrees. as for dvr not paying for
that that's impossible! if you want to pursue this dream go for it! if
you decide to do this do you have family in Maryland? if not then you
need to stay with your family if you are close to them. I know
personally family is close to me so, that's why in the summer of 2003
I movedto Colorado where I lived with my sister until this year. dvr
can't stop your life if you decide to stay in ga, then you have the
right to fighit it! many of us here on this list will help you fight
it and, also get your statee affiliate president in the nfb involved
as well too! I know garrett scott myself anfd, I know that he would be
a great source for assistance!  well, that's all for now if you ever
need to chat then you can always email me off the list at
amieelsabo at gmail.com

well, that's enough from me take care and, I wish you luck in your decisions!



hugs,
amy

Hey everyone 
I got a part time job at cafe wing hut on campus. I was wondering how do you guys use a register as a blind person and know the person's number on the reciet. I am scared and worried about this job. I am not worried about cleaning and taking calls. 
Is this job hard to do as a blind person because i am not sure if the register is going to be touch screen.
Also is it ok to ask the person who is giving me cash to ask what dollar bill they are giving.
Thanks,
Shikha.

Shikha:

This may be a shot in the dark, but you might check with your manager to see if the cafe uses the Square app to process payments. Though I have never played with the app myself, I have noticed that more and more restaurants, especially those of the fast food and lunch counter variety, are using apps like Square and Apple Pay to scan credit cards, keep track of payments, etc. I've heard that it's a very accessible app to use, so this would probably be a good option for you. As for the register itself, more and more of these are unfortunately being made in the form of inaccessible touch-screen kiosks. You could check into the brand of the register and see what you can learn online about its accessibility, or coordinate with cafe management and your DSO to come up with a plan for making it work for you. Finally, I don't see anything wrong with asking a customer to tell you what bills he/she is giving you. When I get cash back for a purchase, I often ask the cashier to tell me how much change they are giving me and which bill is on top. I don't see anything wrong with this going the other way. However, you may want to confirm this with an EyeBill or the Money Reader app just to make sure you are getting the right amount of cash.

Congratulations on landing the job!

My boss look for a job somewhere else. The register is an old model and you need to see to do the job. It is not fair!!

The manager said the register is an old model and it can not speak. He said you can not work here anymore since the job description is to take people's order. 
Thanks for everyone's help. 
Thanks,

hello all,
I hope that you all are doing well this evening... anyway, do you any
of you remember the toll free service called tell-me? well, it's back
but, it's through a long distance number. a colleague of mine who
lives in Minnesota now who use to live in Michigan just where I'm
originally from. well, she finally came to visit me last august which
was shocking! and, she told me of this service. so, here's the number
for it if you all want to use it and, also put it into your contacts
on your cell phones... it's 1-408-752-8052.

anyway, it's just food for thought... take care all and, happy listening!



hugs,
amy

Amy,

Can you just tell us what this number is for exactly? I'm sure 
there are some people out there (myself included) who have never 
heard of this service, so I think, since you've persuaded us to 
save this number into our cell phones, you should just tell us 
what exactly this is.  I think that when convincing people to do 
anything like this, that everyone should keep in mind that this 
is a public listserve with lots of people on it, and so 
therefore, not everyone subscribed may have heard about whatever 
you're telling people about, so a brief description of it can 
really help.

I hope you take my advice into consideration, and enjoy your 
Sunday!

Thanks,

Sami

It's a place where you can find news, weather information, etc.  
It's been a long time since I used it though.

Amy and All,
Tell-Me used to be a 1800 number which was free, and meant you could check it whenever you wanted without the call being charged. I've looked up the area code that it is now, and it is NOT a free code. I just thought I'd let everyone know, and suggest that it should be used in moderation.

hello all,
I hope that you all are having a good evening so far! anyway, I had to
reload iTunes back onto my laptop because when I deleted parts of the
software it didn't work so, I hade to reinstall it again! well, I have
decide to use it as my media player for playing my music on my
computer from my cd collection which I have ripped onto my computer
and, also from friends collections. well, I went to my amy grant
folder on my music folder and, then I clicked on the album titled
house of love which I wanted to hear and, then I selected all of the
songs that were in that album folder and, then I hit enter to listen
to it and, it skipped to other songs instead of the first one in the
album. I went to fix this problem in the settings I believe nd, I
couldn't find it! so, here's my question how do I go about and, set
the settings to do this and, what keys by using jfw do I do this to
play this album in order? please let me know how this is done by using
iTunes on a computer instead of using a ciphone since I don't have one
because of my rare syndrome I have major fine and gross motor issues
so, I don't have a Iphone or any of the apple products!  thanks again
for all of your help and, I will taljk to you soon!

Hi Amy,
From within iTunes, press alt-;c to get to the Controls menu. From there, use the up and down arrow keys until you hear "Shuffle, submenu". Open this submenu with the right arrow key, and use the up and down arrow keys until you hear "Off". Press enter. Your songs should now hopefully play in order.
I hope this helps,
Sarah

Hi Shikha,
I'm so sorry this didn't work out! Surely there must be a way..

To the list - doesn't the US have its Vending Facilities Program? How do
these individuals operate cash registers? Could they provide some guidance
to Shikha or the campus café manager?

The manager said the register is an old model and it can not speak. He said
you can not work here anymore since the job description is to take people's
order. 
Thanks for everyone's help. 
Thanks,


Shikha.

see if the cafe uses the Square app to process payments. Though I have never
played with the app myself, I have noticed that more and more restaurants,
especially those of the fast food and lunch counter variety, are using apps
like Square and Apple Pay to scan credit cards, keep track of payments, etc.
I've heard that it's a very accessible app to use, so this would probably be
a good option for you. As for the register itself, more and more of these
are unfortunately being made in the form of inaccessible touch-screen
kiosks. You could check into the brand of the register and see what you can
learn online about its accessibility, or coordinate with cafe management and
your DSO to come up with a plan for making it work for you. Finally, I don't
see anything wrong with asking a customer to tell you what bills he/she is
giving you. When I get cash back for a purchase, I often ask the cashier to
tell me how much change they are giving me and which bill is on top. I don't
see anything wrong with this going the other way. However, you may want to
confirm this with an EyeBill or the Money Reader app just to make sure you
are getting the right amount of cash.

Hi Shikha:

I would make a case to your VR agency about why you need to get a masters degree. They can help you pay for it.

Also, I would choose a program which feels best to you. Sometimes it's difficult to make a decision when other people are pushing you in a certain direction, but ultimately you will be happier if you choose. I have experience advocating for myself with VR. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Mikaela

Sometimes it's difficult to make a decision when other people are pushing you in a certain direction, but ultimately you will be happier if you choose. I have experience advocating for myself with VR. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or concerns.

I have found out that salsberry university, morgan state, and university of Maryland are the three colleges in Marylamd which offer a MSW. The problem is that these three colleges are super expensive. Should I still apply for these schools? Or should i listen to my parents and get my msw at the same college that i am currently attending? I am not sure what to do because I just got a new vr counselor and I don't think vr will pay for grad school. My parents want me to go to grad school at the school i am currently attending so they can help me. I don't know how I will be able to pay for grad school if i do get accepted to one of the colleges in Marylamd. Sorry for the long message.

Convention Wrap-Up

The national student division’s 50th anniversary celebration has come and gone, yet the excitement and energy is more vibrant than ever before. NABS was proud to serve on the 2017 National Convention Host Committee, along with four affiliates: Washington DC, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Arizona. We helped coordinate an NFB Luau, along with the hospitality suite and those responsibilities that come with the host committee’s efforts. NABS kicked off the week with a networking event with music and fellowship. The following night, we hosted our annual seminar and business meeting with speakers from all over the world. Congratulations to Michael Ausbun, Cody Beardslee, Chelsea Peahl, Shannon Cantan, and Luke Schwinck for being elected to the national student board. To bring in some fitness and friendly competition, we implemented an annual walk-a-thon with Dustin Cather of Illinois spearheading this effort. On Wednesday night, the NABS Board, under the guidance of the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee, coordinated NABS Olympics, an event that brings our NFB divisions and centers together to showcase their individual purposes and to promote their missions. This event flourished with success, and will definitely be back next year! NABS was fortunate enough to receive support from our national president to financially assist students in attending banquet. To continue our theme of 50 years of progress, we focused on getting one student from each state to attend banquet. Thank you to President Riccobono for his endless support for our students. The 77th annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind glowed with success for our Federation. Over 250 students were in attendance from nearly all 52 affiliates. Our fundraising efforts were overwhelmingly positive, bringing in over $5,800 in profits to the national student division. We could not have put on such an incredible week without our membership both at the state and national levels. As we begin gearing up for Washington Seminar, we need your help. First and foremost, put Washington Seminar in your personal budget, get involved at your state level, and help us build the National Federation of the Blind!
 
 
Rideshare Testing Program:

The NFB is seeking feedback from Lyft or Uber customers who have service animals or who travel with individuals with service animals. Your feedback will be used to assess how successfully Uber and Lyft are implementing new driver training requirements and policies regarding drivers’ obligations to transport riders with service animals, as per the companies’ settlement agreements with the NFB. If you use Lyft or Uber and have a service animal or travel with someone who has a service animal, your help with this testing process is critical. Please see

NABS Blog Post:

From the Editor: The National Federation of the Blind awards 30 scholarships to outstanding students in the classroom, in the community, and beyond. We are proud of these academically talented, yet exquisitely diverse individuals, for raising the expectations of blind people across the nation. Below, we will hear from five exceptional scholarship recipient s, as they share some personal sentiments proceeding the 2017 National convention. Note: Scholarship applications open on November 1, 2017 and close on March 31, 2018.

Andrew Sydlik

I was overwhelmed and transformed by my first NFB convention. As a Ph.D. student at the Ohio State University, I have been studying American literature from a Disability Studies perspective. Disability Studies reflects the NFB's philosophy that the obstacle to success is not one's disability, but society's prejudices and barriers. I came back to school after 10 years working in the nonprofit sector because I still had not come to terms with my blindness, and I wanted to learn about those who had come to think more critically about society's attitudes towards blindness and other disabilities. I discovered the wonderful world of Disability Studies and disability rights, in which the NFB has played a huge role. I also felt that the administrative work I was doing, while valuable, was not quite as intellectually or politically challenging an dsatisfying as the kind of work I wanted to do. Although I have come a long way in the last five years, from feeling ashamed by my white cane to feeling empowered by it, I was forced to confront all the internalized stigma and doubt I still had about blindness at the NFB conference. I've always thought of myself in terms of limitation rather than possibility, and having met all the amazing and accomplished people at the convention, I realize even more fully that this does not need to be so. And hearing collectively the diverse and impressive range of work that the NFB does, I know the opportunities available are virtually boundless. I plan to continue my involvement with the NFB, at the local, state, and national levels as much as possible. And after earning my doctorate, facilitated generously by the support of the NFB and their donors, I see two career paths, either of which will involve my desire to spread the message of disability awareness, acceptance, and rights. I will either continue in academia as a professor, informing students about the misconceptions and prejudices towards blindness and other disabilities. The other path involves entering the disability nonprofit sector, bringing my disability awareness and writing skills to disability services or advocacy work. Whatever I do, I will work hard to make other blind and disabled people know that they can live the lives they want.

When I applied for the 2017 NFB scholarship, all I knew was that if I won, I would get a chance to attend the National Convention in Orlando, Florida. No words can sufficiently describe the excitement I felt when Mary Fernandez, one of the members of the scholarship committee, gave me a call and notified me that I had been chosen as a finalist. It was like a dream come true. I thought to myself, that someone would finally help to pay the expenses for me to visit another state of the beautiful country I have come to love so dearly. When July rolled around, I realized though my trip 2 to Orlando would not be a vacation. I was quite certain it would be an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I felt like I had been le d to a whole new world. Never before had I seen so many blind people with so many canes and guide dogs confidently and independently on the move at such a big hotel like Rosen Shingle Creek. The week was packed with meetings and activities. At first, I was both scared, lost, confused, and overwhelmed. I wished there was a way I could just take the money and fly right back to Arkansas. As time continued, my fears were replaced with happiness. I gradually understood fully what some people meant when they told me I will gain so much more from my first NFB convention than just a scholarship. I bonded with mentors as well as friends who saw the potential in me and believed in me more than I'd ever believed in myself. I discovered some divisions such as NABS, Sports & Recreation, and a few others that I want to be a part of. Growing up in Vietnam where society still has very low expectations for people with disabilities, my heart burst with joy when I got to meet and talk with several blind persons who are successful in all kinds of professions. From now on, I definitely know what I am going to tell my Vietnamese friends if they ask me what kinds of jobs do blind people in America do. I admire the wonderful work the National Federation of the Blind does and the great diversity it has. I wish to bring back to my home country the knowledge I have acquired, so that someday blind people there can also live the lives they want. I am much honored to have had the opportunity to be a scholarship finalist, and I am really grateful to those who have worked so hard to put on such a wonderful convention.

Being a Home Management teacher at the Colorado Center f or the Blind, I was excited to attend the convention not as a CCB staff member, but as a scholarship finalist. I was also excited with the prospect of receiving mentorship from so many members of the organization. I recently returned to college at The Metropolitan State University of Denver to stud y Nutrition and Dietetics and was so honored to be selected as a finalist. I received the news that I was a finalist and shortly after underwent major brain surgery and woke up with new physical deficits that I had never experienced; low blood pressure, poor balance, and no function of my right arm and hand now posed new challenges. How was I going to be able to get through convention and also be able to absorb and receive everything that I knew would be offered? Because of these health complications, the thought of not attending the National Convention for the first time since I became a member nine years ago made me realize how much I need this charge eve ry year, to be with and share these beliefs with members from all over the country. The National Federation of the Blind met my worries of my new challenges with the same attitude that they have on blindness that anything can be overcome. Prior to the convention, I received the encouragement and support that I needed to feel confident that I could attend convention with all of my new health concerns. The week provided me with life changing mentorship, a fresh perspective on my purpose in the organization, and I believe actually aided in the process of my recovery. Mentally and emotionally, the National Federation of the Blind convention was just where I needed to be. I am excited to pursue my dreams of higher education while being filled with passion for the National Federation of the Blind.

Convention week was a week full of firsts for me. My first time flying completely alone; my first 3 NFB convention; my first time being surrounded by so many successful blind people (and let's not forget the abundance of sweeping canes). Walking through those hotel lobby doors, I had to stop and take it all in. From checking in to finding my room to finding the people I was supposed to meet, every experience boosted my confidence because I was doing it all independently. By Wednesday, I had the layout of the hotel figured out, and i t was truly a proud moment when I got to the meeting room by myself. Other than raising my self-confidence though, the convention helped me to realize how involved the NFB is in issues that directly affect me, as well as issues I didn't even know were issues. My awareness was most definitely increased. The resolutions meeting was truly eye opening. I didn't know there was still so much left to accomplish. Convention was also full of fun activities like the NABS student Olympics, karaoke, and a performing arts panel, just to mention a few. Though this was my first convention, I sincerely believe it won't be my last.

Sophie Trist

I'm a Louisiana native. In the summer of 1997, I was a year old, and I'd already undergone several surgeries. My parents had tried to restore some vision in my right eye, but by then, it was pretty clear that I would be totally blind. That's when they found out that the National Federation of the Blind was holding its annual convention in New Orleans. They went to meet other blind people and see what resources the NFB had to offer. I don't remember that first convention, but my parents were inspired by the Federationists they met there, and they raised me with the belief that if I had determination and good blindness skills, I could turn my dreams in to reality. As a kid, I attended student seminars and summer programs at the Louisiana Center for the Blind. I didn't personally engage with NFB philosophy until I attended the STEPP program in 2013. There, I met students who had faced accessibility barriers in their education and learned about the ways blind people are discriminated against. A few months before the program began, I took a trip to Disney World with my eighth grade class and took advantage of the fast passes available to disabled people. One of the STEPP instructors told me something that still resonates with me to this day: "If blind people want the same rights as our sighted peers, we must accept the same responsibilities." I'm a Federationist because I want equality. I've never had to struggle for my education, but I want to advocate for those who have. That's why I am proud and honored to be an NFB scholarship winner.
