Hi Kristina,
I have never used this program, but may have some tips. Is this 
high school or college? Do you know the Nemeth code?

Hi Everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. By way of introduction, I am a
23-year-lawyer from India who happens to be blind since birth. On
account of the accessibility barriers that the blind have to face in
India, I have mostly relied on sighted assistance all my life to get
most things done. I have had access to personal aides who've helped me
with mobility, organizational stuff, cooking, etc. I went to a local
college in my hometown for my undergraduate education, and used to
stay with my family during this period. Further, I used to stay with
very well-resourced relatives when I would travel to a different town
for my internships who could meet all my needs. So I've never really
had to truly fend for myself.

I will now be moving to Oxford for my postgraduate education. This
being the case, I was wondering if you could help me understand how I
might be able to deal with the following challenges:
A. Mobility - I will be provided O and M training when I move to
Oxford, but I am wondering what the best way of getting to a
particular location is. While I am reasonably able to get from place a
to place b (though not adept at stuff like road-crossing), I struggle
with orientation i.e. figuring out how to find my desired location. In
this respect, is committing all routes that one has to frequent to
one's memory the best solution, or should one focus on other things
like GPS applications?
B. I also need help with organizational stuff such as locating objects
that I may have misplaced, matching clothes, etc. Are there any
particular techniques that you use in these matters? I hear that
there's a device using which you can ensure that the object that
you're looking for starts emitting a beep, making it possible for you
to locate it by this sound. Have you tried it?
C. While I will have access to meals, what would be the best way for
me to learn how to cook some basic things?
D. Are there any other talking devices that you use which help you on
a regular basis?

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
First, what an exciting opportunity - academically and otherwise!!

I am also a 23 year-old who is preparing to move 2600 miles away from
my family for graduate school.
Here are a few tips I would like to share:
A. Mobility: I usually commit to memory rather than using a GPS
application, especially within a fixed space such as high school
campus and college/university campus. I went to a high school where I
had to go from one building to another in order to change my classes
during the day, and I never used a GPS on my campus. I learned about
the location of each building (e.g., math and science building,
performing arts building, etc), memorized them and went from one class
to the next.
Same for my undergraduate school - the campus was much bigger, but I
did not rely on any GPS apps or devices.
However, when I was off-campus for getting groceries, going to eat a
restaurant etc I used GPS apps such as Seeing Eye GPS and Google Maps,
because I could not commit to memory the entire town of my
undergraduate school. I just learned the names of big streets and how
they are layed out.
Whichever method you choose to use, I would advise you to start paying
attention to environmental cues such as tactile feedback from your
cane, auditory feedback, and even sometimes olfactory feedback. For
instance, when I am walking down the street and smell something
delicious, I know I am nearby a restaurant.
Another general tip I would share is that don't be afraid to ask for
help. I stop someone and ask for directions or ask them to explain
nearby landmarks frequently, especially when I am new to an area.

B. Organization: I memorize how my clothes feel... For instance, I
know this shirt I have that has a little pocket on the top left is a
blue shirt, and this skirt that has kind of a thick cloth is magenta
and goes well with certain tops but not with others.
I know some blind folks who use plastic tagging system to help group
clothes, if that is something you want to explore.
Lately I have been also utilizing apps such as Be My Eyes and Aira to
ask a sighted person if a particular clothes combination is a good
idea or not.
I also utilize Braille labels often. For instance, I would braille Ibu
for ibuprofen and stick the label on the ibuprofen bottle.

C. Cooking: I don't know how comfortable your folks would be and don't
know the culture around this in India, but if possible, start helping
around in the kitchen at your family home. Start something simple such
as washing fruits and vegetables, cutting them, mixing up with
dressings, etc.
If you use them commonly, getting used to equipment such as microwave,
rice cooker and toaster would be useful also.

D. Miscellaneous apps: I like Seeing AI app as it has ability to
distinguish currency, read product label, long text, short text,
describe pictures etc.

All the best,

Miso

Hi Rahul thanks for your message. I would suggest that you contact the local agency for the blind before you move to Oxford University.

Hey Roanna, I am so glad that you are going for this endeavor. I am going to 
Embry Riddle down here. If you want, while you are down here, I can help you 
with strengthening your skills as I need to learn the city myself.

Message-ID: <CAOF1yXEq1g-Uj9cd9wPD3GcNb=ZesDHXr01U6RvwfuPTNLdikw@mail.gmail.com>

hello all,

I hope that you are all doing well tonight. well, I need some help
and, maybe some of you can help me out on this. I purchased msoffice
360 last year online and, I got a email that it will be renewed in
july which is fine but, I will have to update my debt card info since
I used that to purchase it with that card. so,, I went to open up the
link through the email that I got a few days ago and, so I did it
but,, I will have to update my card info soon.

anyway, Iopened up word tonight to write a word document and, when it
went to do this it directed me a nonlicence vversion of it which was
through the interent which is through Microsoft edge not internet
explorer even though that's the web browser I use and prefer. so, I
tried fixing the problem by reinstalling the product in fixing it in
my downloads folder on my documents. well, it didn't solve the
problem. so, I then did the install theproduct from that site again
and, no such luck. so, how do go back to getting my original version
of msoffice 360 which I orginally purchase last summer to what I had
before? or, should I send this message to Microsoft as well too or not
or what should I do to fix this problem?



thanks,
amy

Dear Students,

It gives me great joy to report that I will be participating in the
Independent Living Skills program at the Rehab Center in Daytona Beach,
Florida. I will be learning to cook, clean, do laundry, shop for groceries,
budget, manage money, and complete other household tasks. Each participant
in this program stays in there own suite. Each room is equiped with a
talking book player and a desktop computer.

Roanna,

I am hoping to clarify a few things for those on this list.  From what you
have said, I assume that you are going to get support from the Florida
agency to attend the Daytona center and that you would not have gotten
support to attend the Louisiana Center for example and that this is the cost
problem you referenced in an earlier post.  Is that right?  If so, others
should know that some states support sending their customers to training in
other states, including our training centers.  To my knowledge, our training
centers are pretty competitive in terms of the cost.  It can be an uphill
battle in some states, though, to get funding to leave the state for
training but even then, there are strategies one can use if that is what one
wants to do.

Since you mentioned cleanliness and professionalism twice, I have to ask if
this came from touring other centers and finding that not to be the case?  I
would be surprised if most training centers are not clean and have staff
that exhibit professionalism.

Finally, to get back to your original note, what are the issues regarding
leaving your family to go to training that concern you?  I gather your
parents are on board already since they accompanied you on the tour of the
Daytona Center.  I am probably not that different than many others on this
list in that I don't know your family situation.  Therefore, it is hard to
offer any sort of useful advice?  I believe that getting some training, no
matter which center you attend, is very important for your future and I am
glad you are doing it.  As one who has experience with one of our training
centers here in Minnesota, BLIND Incorporated, I believe that our centers
have something special to offer, but also respect that you have made a
choice and am glad you are moving ahead.  Please let us know specifically
what issues concern you about leaving your family for training as was
expressed earlier.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Subject: [NABS-L] msoffice help!

hello all,

I hope that you are all doing well tonight. well, I need some help and, maybe some of you can help me out on this. I purchased msoffice
360 last year online and, I got a email that it will be renewed in july which is fine but, I will have to update my debt card info since I used that to purchase it with that card. so,, I went to open up the link through the email that I got a few days ago and, so I did it but,, I will have to update my card info soon.

anyway, Iopened up word tonight to write a word document and, when it went to do this it directed me a nonlicence vversion of it which was through the interent which is through Microsoft edge not internet explorer even though that's the web browser I use and prefer. so, I tried fixing the problem by reinstalling the product in fixing it in my downloads folder on my documents. well, it didn't solve the problem. so, I then did the install theproduct from that site again and, no such luck. so, how do go back to getting my original version of msoffice 360 which I orginally purchase last summer to what I had before? or, should I send this message to Microsoft as well too or not or what should I do to fix this problem?



thanks,
amy

Hi Steve thanks for your message. Today I received an email from my Dbs counselor. She is beginning the referral process for me to participate in the Independent Living Program at the Rehab Center. I am so excited about participating in this program. Sixteen years ago when my parents and I first toured the Rehab Center, it was nothing like it is now. One concern I have about leaving my family is how I will cope while I am away from them. I know it will be a heard adjustment but I am excited about this training. Another concern is that I will fall into my old habits if I come home on the weekends. My family can come and visit me because the Center is an hour away from home.

Hello Rahul, 
My name is Neel Sheth, I’m a 21 year old undergraduate student studying microbiology from South Carolina in the United States. My parents are actually originally from India, so I think I’m somewhat aware of the accessibility challenges unique to India that you mentioned. Firstly, with regards to mobility, as long as you are comfortable using a cane, learning how to cross streets independently should be easy enough with the right amount of practice. I attend a university about 214 km from my home town, so I live there during the academic year, and during the summers I take online classes through my university online. When I first started, I only did a couple of days of mobility, I just walked with different friends to and from classes, and learned the campus by using this method. 
With regards to organization, I usually have a particular place for everything when moving into a new location, and for consistency, I do my very best to keep all of my things where I first put them. I’ve lived in three completely different locations all three of my previous academic years, so that is really the only method. With regards to clothes, I usually where neutral colors, so matching clothes isn’t a problem. however, the method I use for distinguishing between regular t-shirts and t-shirts with my university’s colors is by the fact that t-shirts in my university’s colors usually have some type of design. Additionally, I tare off the tags from the back of t-shirts with my university colors. 
With regards to cooking, what are you comfortable with? Have you ever helped in the kitchen before? I ask this since when ever family from India come to visit, they are always surprised at the admittedly few thins I can cook. I’d recommend starting with learning to cut vegetable, and progressing from there.

Hey guys, I have a question about NVDA. First, does it work on Mac. Second, is there a website or a podcast or YouTube channel or anything that gives instructions on keyboard just chairs? Like instructions on the shortcuts and how do use it?
Thank you

And video does not work on the Mac. And VA is it Windows-based screen reader. The screen reader you would use if you want to Mac is voiceover which is apples built-in screen reader and you don’t have to install.

 Hi Roanna,

First of all, congratulations on this new endeavor! I know you'll 
do great in this new chapter in your life.

Second, what do you mean by going back to old habits? WHEN I did 
my training two years ago, I also attended a censer that was i an 
hour from my house.  I took advantage of this by going home every 
weekend.  Of course was partly due to the fact that my mother had 
to drive me to my piano lessons, which were also an hour away, 
but still, it was nice to spend time with my family during the 
weekends while attending training during the week.  If you're 
really worried, I would try and practice the skills you're 
learning while you're at home for the weekend.  In my case, for 
by stance, I actually attended a center for people who are blind 
and hard of hearing.  While I was there, I learned how to change 
the batteries in my bearing aids, which I never knew how to do 
before.  Every Sunday night, just before my mother would 
accompany me back to the center, she'd have me practice doing 
this on our kitchen table.  I'm not sure what you're going to 
learn, but if, say, you're going to cook, clean, and do laundry, 
I would suggest you have your parents have you practice those 
skills.  Going home for the weekend is really a great thing, 
because it allows you to spend a couple of days the your family 
and sakes the overwhelming pressure of your training off during 
that time.

I hope this helps.

Sami

Congratulations, I’m glad you’ve chosen the path towards taking charge with confidence and self reliance. I am proud graduate of the Colorado Center for the blind. If you want to know anything about the center give me an email back.

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.

Subject: [NABS-L] It's Official: 195 The Globe To Provide Coverage And
 Streaming Of Events At This Year's National Convention
Message-ID: <CA+Wnc9TmfrrdSBBb6LTjYey5i2bOu3P26s=ZxKycBB7AODnt7A@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings All!
I am writing in because I have some exciting news to share regarding
this year's national convention coverage.
As you know, over the past few years, there has been an online stream
provided of the general sessions, banquet, and board of directors
meeting for people to check out, especially those who aren't able to
make the national convention.
There will be a stream this year, too, but there's an exciting
announcement I'd like to share about this.
It is my pleasure to announce that 195 The Globe, an online radio
station, has partnered with the National Federation Of The Blind to
provide convention coverage this year from Orlando Florida.
 The events that 195 The Globe will be covering from convention are:
 All general sessions
 The board of director's meeting
 The banquet
 The Performing Arts Division talent show/showcase of talent
 Plus other special interviews and coverage to be announced.
The announcement was officially made on The Blind Side this week. You
can hear the recording of the announcement by going to
http://www.195theglobe.com/nfb18/StreamingCoverageAnnouncement.mp3

 The fact that the globe, which is always streaming 24/7, is covering
the convention this year will make it easier for you to listen to the
convention stream if
 you are unable to attend, since the globe is available not just
 through the standard media players, but on Tunein and OOTunes. You
can even ask alexa or google to play 195 The Globe on Tunein, and
that's another way for you to listen to convention coverage too!
 Please watch social media, the #nfb18 hash tag, and other lists for
 more information and times for these events to be streamed during this
 year's national convention.
 Thanks to President Riccobono and members of the national office for
 giving us this opportunity to provide top of the line coverage of this
 year's convention.

 If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact either
David Dunphy at
ddunphy at 195theglobe.com
or our program director, and the man handling interview coverage, etc,
Chris Nusbaum at
cnusbaum at 195theglobe.com
 You may also contact any member of the globe management team by calling
 951-456-2324
 or visiting us on the web at

 Sincerely,
 David Dunphy, station owner, 195 The Globe, Welcome To The Radio Revolution

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if any of you have used the Sonocent Note Taker and how accessible/accurate you found it to be. If not, what's the most effective note-taking solution that you've deployed for college classes?

Best,

Hi Rahul. Do you have an iPad or some kind of Apple device, if so, you can see if the place where you’re going to can get you a Braille display that you can hook up to your device using Bluetooth and you can read your books that way. The Braille display that I have is called the Handitech display.

hello all,

well, I was trying to download a file from blind mice move vault but,
I don't have a sendspace account anymore. I had last year which I paid
for it monthly by using my debit card but, my debit card expired and,
now I can't download the files or upload files faster even though I
have a high speed internet connection but, not a server for that mean!
 so, do I need to reenter my account information and, contact
information even though I have  user name/email address and, a
password for that account so, I can download files from people and,
from blind mice mart faster than the normal speed which in using
sendspace is free?  I was just curious....



thanks,

If you already have an account with sendspace, you just need to log on and
pay for the upgrade you want.

Students,

 

I am excited to announce that our preregistration form for our annual
business meeting is live! You won't want to miss the 2018 NABS business
Meeting, which takes place on the 4th of July from 7-9pm, with
preregistration beginning at 6pm. 

 

This year, there will be music, there will be prizes, and there will be fun!
With so many student events at Convention this year, the NABS board is
excited to make our business meeting shorter, more exciting, and
enlightening. You won't want to miss out on the excitement that comes with
NABS. Please send me suggestions, ideas, and questions; but make sure to
join us at 6 so you can grab a good seat!

 

To preregister, visit:

Hi Harry,

I was able to get to the registration document from the URL provided.

What might have happened in your case is that your E-mail program truncated
the URL.

Please try using the following URL. If this still doesn't work, please
check to see if the URL is being split into two lines in your E-mail.  You
may have to piece it together in your browser's address bar to get it to

Subject: [NABS-L] ReCaptcha Accessibility
Message-ID: <5b1ab2bf.1c69fb81.eacfc.2178@mx.google.com>

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has had any success filling out a form 
with a Re-Captcha, either with a laptop or a phone.  I find that 
the audio challenge option can be blurry, and at other times 
doesn't always play.
I also think that I might have read or heard that the NFB is 
working with or trying to work with Re-Captcha on accessibility, 
but I don't know for sure.
Any thoughts or experiences to share would be great.
Thanks,

Hello All,

It appears as though some people are encountering a problem opening the long link for the NABS business meeting pre-registration. So here is a shorter link that can be used to register for the NAVS business meeting. I hope it helps those of you who have encountered a problem opening the longer link.

Register for the NABS business meeting by visiting https://tinyurl.com/yc8pxz7d

I hope everyone who attends national convention this year has a great time in Orlando!

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Vejas, when I use the audio challenge option, are usually replay it a couple of times to make sure that I heard it correctly, or if I did not understand it, I just request a Nother one and usually the second time of replaying the new challenge, I decode what is said and I put in the words. I’m not sure how far the NFB has gotten with accessibility guidelines for that though that is a good question.

Janae, I just checked the NFB Web site, but all I see is the notice that the agenda will be posted before June 15. Have you seen it?

Hi Abbee,


Could you please be more specific as to the title and author of the Braille
AP Physics textbook that you need?

Perhaps you can buy one from Amazon instead of borrowing one. Please check
out the National Braille Press, BARD, or Bookshare to see if your textbook
that you are looking for is available for download or purchase. In some
instances, you could search for your course on efollett and see if you
could rent your textbook for less money while you are waiting for the one
that you want to arrive. Otherwise, please feel free to contact the book
publisher.

Hope that helps

Hi NABS,
After nearly ten years, I am at very long last graduating with my
undergraduate degree this coming June 20. I wanted to thank NABS for all
your support over the years, and for answering all of my questions in the
early days. I was so excited to find a group of blind students who were
super-motivated and ready to take over the world. I remember I got in
trouble from a moderator for writing too much in one day... so much was my
enthusiasm.

Many of those whose names I saw repeatedly have since graduated or
unsubscribed, but there is still a great community here and for that I am
grateful.
I wish you all the best in the future (though I will still remain
subscribed), and congratulations to all who are also graduating this year!
Sarah

Hi Amy,
You won't have to create a new account if Sendspace still has your
information, but you will have to update your payment information for your
new debit card for your account. You shouldn't have to create a new password
or anything.
I hope this helps,

hello all,

well, I was trying to download a file from blind mice move vault but,
I don't have a sendspace account anymore. I had last year which I paid
for it monthly by using my debit card but, my debit card expired and,
now I can't download the files or upload files faster even though I
have a high speed internet connection but, not a server for that mean!
 so, do I need to reenter my account information and, contact
information even though I have  user name/email address and, a
password for that account so, I can download files from people and,
from blind mice mart faster than the normal speed which in using
sendspace is free?  I was just curious....



thanks,
amy

I’d advise the call recorder app on AppStore, you may need to pay a few dollars for extra storage depending on how long the interview is. You can also use the voice memos app which is free.

Hi NABS!
I hope everyone is having a good summer.
I was very excited to look over the agenda for this year’s national convention, but also mildly panicked at the impossibly huge number of fun events, all of which I want to go to. My question is, is there a way to import these events into Calendar, whether that’s iOS or Google, without typing everything out? I know that there will be braille agendas, but I also know that I am going to need an extra layer of organization. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Best
Mausam

Dear Students,

As many of you may know, I will be participating in an Independent Living
Skills program this Summer. How long do I have to wait to receive funding
to attend an in-state facility? I am anxious to find out if my referral has
been received by the Rehab Center staff.

When I went to BLIND Inc, I didn’t have to wait very long for funding to go through, at most it was a month. But you can ask your counselor for that information, because with everybody’s case it’s different. By the way, did you get my other email, about me offering Extra assistance with improving your skills while you are going to the program? Considering the fact that in that email, I said that I’m attending Embry Riddle down here, and I would love to explore the city more and spend time with another BLIND person in the area.

Howdy NABSters

 

I come to you with a request . I am teaching some students at BLIND, Inc and
I have gotten them interested in registering for the NABS mentoring program
and the board meeting. Unfortunately, they can not find the link to register
for the program on the website. Is the program registration closed? Is there
a way that we can get 5 more students signed up?

 

Thanks in Advance

 

Robert

But you can ask your counselor for that information, because with everybody’s case it’s different. By the way, did you get my other email, about me offering Extra assistance with improving your skills while you are going to the program? Considering the fact that in that email, I said that I’m attending Embry Riddle down here, and I would love to explore the city more and spend time with another BLIND person in the area.

Hi,
I'm trying to convince my VR counselor to fund the unlimited plan for AIRA. I've sent a letter, and they have to check if my request fits the Rehabilitation Services Administration Standards. Do you know what the standards are, or how to easily find them? Because it would be good to know what they are, to make sure that this isn't just a bureaucratic excuse that they always say!

Message-ID: <CA+RstY0iXhVayi-wg1n1M84kYoGFDGvY6b0Or+QM4qvYYndJQA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a question regarding note-taking during college lectures and
tutorials. I live in Australia, so apologize if there are differences
between Australian and United States colleges, but I hope you will
still be able to provide me with useful information.

Currently I am in high school, and to make notes during class, I use a
braille notetaker connected to a laptop computer as a braille display.
When taking notes in class, I do not receive any speech feedback from
my screen reader. I will be unable to use this system at college
because the desks are not large enough to accommodate both devices.

I know that I could take notes by just using my braille notetaker, but
I worry that, although I am able to type braille relatively quickly, I
am unable to reach the typing speed that I would have when using a
QWERTY keyboard. I know that I could also take notes just using a
laptop computer with an ear bud in only one ear so that I will be able
to hear what the lecturer is saying, but I worry that I will struggle
to listen to both my screen reader echoing the text that I have typed
as well as the new information the lecturer is providing.

I am wondering what systems college students such as yourselves employ
for notetaking. What have you tried? What has worked well? What has
not worked so well for you? I am open to all opinions and advice as I
have other assistive technology products as well.

Theodore

Hi Theodore,

That’s a great question to be asking. There are many different systems people use, but personally, I have found it relatively easy to use only my laptop. I type very fast and accurately, so in actuality, I keep the volume on my computer very low and don’t much listen to it while typing, and just make sure to proofread my notes afterwards, so that most of what I am hearing is the lecture. You might also try keeping your braille display in your lap and your laptop on the desk so that you can still use both.

Looking forward to hearing others’ suggestions here.

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

In both high school and college, I used a laptop with a focus 40 Braille display. I place the Braille display on top of the front part of the laptop covering the mouse pad, and that way the combination takes up no more room than just using a laptop. I bring ear buds as well for when I want to listen to the speech. Personally though, I have found using a Braille display critical. I just don’t find it nearly as efficient to use speech exclusively, particularly for courses such as math and chemistry.

Hi Theodore thanks for your message. When I was in college, I used a tape recorder to record the class lectures. Because I often had Monday Wednesday or Tuesday Thursday classes, I was able to listen to the lectures during the week. I used my BrailleNote Apex to take notes on class lectures. While in class, I turned the speech off, so no one heard what I was writing.

Hey Theodore,
That's awesome you live in Australia!
I just finished my second year of college and have used my Braillenote to write. I think that you should use whichever tool you felt most comfortable.
I also think you should check with your Disability Services. Mine allows me to have a notetaker for classes which I am having more trouble or need help understanding. The notetaker is a student in the class. They'll take notes for you, but you'll still have your own notes so you'll have a double set. The notetaker then uploads the notes online, which can be downloaded at any time.

Good afternoon.


I have one earbud in that goes to my laptop, and I listen to lecture, 
and am able to do such. I also have a human notetaker who is paid to 
take notes to give to me. I though have weird issues sometimes  due to 
some other medical issues, so this is a great help. My notetaker can 
also get everything off the projector/board that the professor doesn't 
necessarily read off too.

Hi,
My husband and I both use Perrla. While one does not manually format papers, but instead allows the program to do so, it definitely saves time and accessibility headaches. The online version is most recommended for use with assistive technology.

Best wishes, Miranda

Fellow Students,

 

With the 2018 National Convention upon us in just over two weeks, the NABS
Board is diligently working to ensure our students have a seamless and
enjoyable Convention experience. As many of us know, the National Convention
is a time where our membership decides who should be among our national
leadership. First and foremost, this is a thoughtful process and one that
deserves much care and consideration. As we know, any member who is blind
can be considered for a National Student Division board position. These
roles should be taken seriously, with the understanding that significant
energy, time, and commitment is put into our NABS Board duties. I also want
to note that our NABS Board is willing and eager to chat with any student
interested or potentially interested in seeking a national leadership
position. I love communicating with rising leaders in our movement who are
ready and excited to take the next step on their journey in the National
Federation of the Blind. I welcome any of you to reach out and start these
conversations.

 

We put a strong emphasis on transparency in the nominating process. This
year, I am excited to announce that our 2018 Nominating Committee Chair is
Michael Ausbun, the First Vice President of NABS. Michael's support,
understanding, commitment, and love for the National Federation of the Blind
and the National Association of Blind Students is admirable. As President, I
am thrilled to appoint Mr. Ausbun to this important leadership role and am
confident that he will execute the duties with grace, patience,
thoughtfulness, and trust. 

 

As chair, Michael will work with a team to suggest future NABS leaders that
may serve our membership. This means Michael will present the committee's
recommendations to the membership during our annual business meeting on the
Fourth of July. It is not up to Michael and  the committee to elect our
leaders; it is up to you! The Nominating Committee serves only to assist the
membership by putting forth capable candidates who have proven their passion
for our work. The recommendations offered are given a great deal of
consideration with varying perspectives. This process is for the benefit of
our organization and one that warrants questions and voices. I encourage
those who are interested in running for a position to speak with Michael
prior to National Convention, as his insight is invaluable. I also suggest
students communicate with me; as I would love to learn more about your
vision and ideas for NABS.

 

Regardless of anything, any dues paying blind member of NABS has an
opportunity to be considered for our national board. This year, we have five
positions up for election - President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice
President, Treasurer, and Secretary. These five positions are 2-year terms,
beginning at the close of this year's National Convention. As all of you
know, I love NABS with all of my heart and am excited to see what this
year's Convention has in store for us.

 

Please reach out via call or text, any time!

 

See you in two weeks!

 

Love,

Kathryn

 

Kathryn C. Webster

President | National association of Blind Students

hello theordore and all,

this is a good question indeed and, thanks for posting this to the
list. as for notetaking in college I have used many tools in my
toolbox but, I mainly used the following. I have used a notetaker but,
I also have tried taping my notes by using a tape recorder which
didn't work out very well but, I mainly used a notetaker which was at
first the voicenote qt but, I decided to go and, mainly switch to a
laptop with jfw on it which has worked out well for me! I am able to
have one earbud in my ear and, then type with it in my ear while the
other ear i'm able to hear the professor. so, use whatever tool you
wish to use for taking notes in class!



good luck,
amy

Message-ID: <DCF06A08-8A6F-404F-9E23-18604599C9AA@gmail.com>

Hello dear NABS members and other Federationists. My name is Mariya Vasileva, and I have been a part of the Federation since the age of 13. Some of you on this list, if not most of you, no me from various Georgia state conventions and other state conventions in other states including a few national conventions during the years. I am writing to you all because I’m putting myself in the nominating position for secretary for the national board. I feel that I will be a very good candidate for this, because when I was a part of the Georgia Association of Blind Students a few years ago while I was in high school, I was  secretary for one year and I had very good experiences with it. Due to this experience, I have been given the opportunity to take minutes and do other secretarial tasks when needed. I am very excited and ready to give this beautiful organization my all with this position because I feel that we can do more for ourselves as students and members. This can be done and more with a board that has the love, hope, and determination to make anything possible.

I use an IPad with VoiceOver and a bluetooth keyboard to take class notes in a Pages document specific to the course in question. I turn VO down to the lowest volume so as not to disturb others, and I type as I listen to the lecture.

hello all,

well, I have some sad news to tell you all unfortunately, I will not
be able to attend convention this year in Orlando! I tried the

luck in finding a roommate from one of the nfb net lists that i'm on.
I did get one response in that perspect but, it didn't workout imo…
so, I will miss the final year it will be in Orlando! oh well it was
due to personal issues in my life. I will be of course listening to it
through either my laptop or my alexa through amazon.

i'm sorry for this and, I hope that you all jhave a wonderful
convention for those of you are going to be there!  I will miss you
all! especially for some of the events that the national office are
going to held!

Hello.
In recently examining some papers on Ebsco, I realised that the citation section of the page is different from usual. I used it regularly for school, but now that I am using for some collaborative research, I am seeing that when I get to the citation section, with JAWS it is only saying the words citation Instruction but not showing a link of the citation optionsand no citations at all.
Has anyone had this issue with citation of articles on Ebsco? If so, are there any ways in which you have overcome this challenge?
Thanks:
Rilind.

Hi Theodore,

That?s a great question to be asking. There are many different systems people use, but personally, I have found it relatively easy to use only my laptop. I type very fast and accurately, so in actuality, I keep the volume on my computer very low and don?t much listen to it while typing, and just make sure to proofread my notes afterwards, so that most of what I am hearing is the lecture. You might also try keeping your braille display in your lap and your laptop on the desk so that you can still use both.

Looking forward to hearing others? suggestions here.

In both high school and college, I used a laptop with a focus 40 Braille display. I place the Braille display on top of the front part of the laptop covering the mouse pad, and that way the combination takes up no more room than just using a laptop. I bring ear buds as well for when I want to listen to the speech. Personally though, I have found using a Braille display critical. I just don?t find it nearly as efficient to use speech exclusively, particularly for courses such as math and chemistry.

Hi Theodore thanks for your message. When I was in college, I used a tape recorder to record the class lectures. Because I often had Monday Wednesday or Tuesday Thursday classes, I was able to listen to the lectures during the week. I used my BrailleNote Apex to take notes on class lectures. While in class, I turned the speech off, so no one heard what I was writing.

Hey Theodore,
That's awesome you live in Australia!
I just finished my second year of college and have used my Braillenote to write. I think that you should use whichever tool you felt most comfortable.
I also think you should check with your Disability Services. Mine allows me to have a notetaker for classes which I am having more trouble or need help understanding. The notetaker is a student in the class. They'll take notes for you, but you'll still have your own notes so you'll have a double set. The notetaker then uploads the notes online, which can be downloaded at any time.

Good afternoon.


I have one earbud in that goes to my laptop, and I listen to lecture, and am able to do such. I also have a human notetaker who is paid to take notes to give to me. I though have weird issues sometimes? due to some other medical issues, so this is a great help. My notetaker can also get everything off the projector/board that the professor doesn't necessarily read off too.

Hi,
My husband and I both use Perrla. While one does not manually format papers, but instead allows the program to do so, it definitely saves time and accessibility headaches. The online version is most recommended for use with assistive technology.

Best wishes, Miranda

In both high school and college, I used a laptop with a focus 40 
Braille display. I place the Braille display on top of the front 
part of the laptop covering the mouse pad, and that way the 
combination takes up no more room than just using a laptop. I 
bring ear buds as well for when I want to listen to the speech. 
Personally though, I have found using a Braille display critical. 
I just don?t find it nearly as efficient to use speech 
exclusively, particularly for courses such as math and chemistry.

 Hi Theodore,

 That?s a great question to be asking. There are many different 
systems people use, but personally, I have found it relatively 
easy to use only my laptop. I type very fast and accurately, so 
in actuality, I keep the volume on my computer very low and don?t 
much listen to it while typing, and just make sure to proofread 
my notes afterwards, so that most of what I am hearing is the 
lecture. You might also try keeping your braille display in your 
lap and your laptop on the desk so that you can still use both.

 Looking forward to hearing others? suggestions here.

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

Hi Theodore thanks for your message. When I was in college, I 
used a tape recorder to record the class lectures. Because I 
often had Monday Wednesday or Tuesday Thursday classes, I was 
able to listen to the lectures during the week. I used my 
BrailleNote Apex to take notes on class lectures. While in class, 
I turned the speech off, so no one heard what I was writing.

Hey Theodore,
That's awesome you live in Australia!
I just finished my second year of college and have used my 
Braillenote to write. I think that you should use whichever tool 
you felt most comfortable.
I also think you should check with your Disability Services. Mine 
allows me to have a notetaker for classes which I am having more 
trouble or need help understanding. The notetaker is a student in 
the class. They'll take notes for you, but you'll still have your 
own notes so you'll have a double set. The notetaker then uploads 
the notes online, which can be downloaded at any time.

Good afternoon.


I have one earbud in that goes to my laptop, and I listen to 
lecture, and am able to do such. I also have a human notetaker 
who is paid to take notes to give to me. I though have weird 
issues sometimes? due to some other medical issues, so this is a 
great help. My notetaker can also get everything off the 
projector/board that the professor doesn't necessarily read off 
too.

Hi,
My husband and I both use Perrla. While one does not manually 
format papers, but instead allows the program to do so, it 
definitely saves time and accessibility headaches. The online 
version is most recommended for use with assistive technology.

Best wishes, Miranda

Hi There,
I go all-Braille for my notes in class. I use a Pac Mate Omni with the speech muted and type either in contracted or uncontracted Braille (I use the latter for French and math). I transfer my notes to my PC for sharing or editing, but start with the notetaker. I'm not sure if this would help you, if you're worried about notetaking speed. I have used an app called Smartrecord on my iPhone to record lectures for later review, but I often found relistening to lectures to get better notes was a tedious process. I hope you've found some tips here helpful. All the best in your studies!
Sarah

Due to this experience, I have been given the opportunity to take minutes and do other secretarial tasks when needed.

You can perhaps consider Brailliant 14 or Refreshabraille 18 or
similar small models of braille display. You would be compromising the
length of the braille display but it will take up less space.

hello Jessica and all,

well, this is a new feature that the radio station in conjunction with
the national office and, also through the nfb is something which is
new and, sounds awesomwe too!  as for the skill for listening to this
stream or any other radio stations in your area or throughout the usa
just tell alexa the station name like for example tell it alexa play
195theglobe and, it will play it for you!  also, as for yourparticular
radio station that you listen to in your home state or other states
that you have visited at or also have lived in like I lived in
Michigan and, I have a few radio stations that I use to listen to in
Michigan and, I just tell alexa the call name for that particular
radio station and, it's call numbers too!  because, the same call name
or numbers are somewhat the same so, use the above for both! it really
does work! I found this out when I first found out about alexa last
spring through my sister who has both the echo and the echodot and,
she showed me how to use it or if you also need any help in using it
you can go to the amazon alexa ap on your smart phone or go to the
their web site at  www.amazon.alexa.com which I believe is the link
for that site. I could be wrong on that. if so then let me know
okay...

I hope that I was able to answer and also help you out on this! take
care and, I will talk to you all soon!




hugs,
amy

Hi Jessica:

195 The Globe is part of the TuneIn Radio directory, so our station can be heard using the built-in TuneIn skill. To play the station during convention or at any other time, you need only say, "Alexa, play 195 The Globe on TuneIn." Simply saying "Alexa, play 195 The Globe" has worked for me as well. There is no need to enable an additional skill. If you have any further questions, please email me at cnusbaum at 195theglobe.com.

Thanks for listening,

Chris

okay, chris I gave the same advice to her too but, also thanks for the
clarification on it too!  the tune in ap for the alexa for amazon is
for doing all of the radio stations through them. but, chris gave the
right version of it even though I gave it too but, in a more direct
and professional manner. so, cudos to chris on this!  thanks again
and, I will talk to you soon!



hugs,
amy

hello all,

I hope that you all are doing well.. for those who will not
beattending convention this year in person and, who have amazon alexa
or would like to have a way to set it up if you decide to purchase one
for yourself for someone else you can do the following to set it up by
either doing it through by downloading the amazon alexa ap through
your iPhone or your smart phone. if you don't have a smart phone or
are having problems with the ap you can set it up through the web site
at
https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#welcome

and, that should assist you on how to use it and, also to set it up
through your wy fie connection/internet connection via high speed
ofcourse…


and, ofh I almost forgot to mentioned if you are havingproblems at all
and, need some tech support with using it or in setting it up if you
are having difficulities the amazon disabilities customer service
number is a very good resourse to use. you can call them
at1-888-283-1678


I hope this information will be of helpful for you all! take care all and enjoy!

Message-ID: <CAOF1yXG51=YcMFL166+q3nh4Agpt-BjsHGJR7=DXoc7kg4gEdg@mail.gmail.com>

hello all,

well, I have had my amazon alexa for almost a year and, I love both of
them! I have used the tune in ap and the I heart radio ap feature for
listening to my favorite radio stations in the usa here in co and also
in mi too!  I know that you need to set up a membership for panadaora,
spotify, and serious xm which I didn't know that you could do for
playing music for them. so, here's my question on this when setting up
accounts for both spotify is it free and accessible like panadora or
do I need to pay for this account like you have to do for seriousxm?
in setting up the accounts for panadora and spotify on line is
accessible with jfw and, is both them also accessible to also use
online besides alexa too?


just my thoughts on this topics and, I would greatly appreciate all of
your opinions,advice, and suggestions on this topic!



thanks,
amy

Hello, 
Spotify and Pandora are both supported with the Amazon Echo. Unfortunately, you need paid subscriptions in order to use them with the Echo. There is a Student discount for Spotify, and Pandora's One subscription, which is required, is around 4 dollars or so. Signing up is completely accessible on iOS and the web.

hello,

thanks for that information. I knew that they were both a part of the
echo but, now I know that you have to pay a subscription to use them.
I will set up the accounts for them asap!  and, i'm also glad that the
web sites for them are also accessible too!  thanks again for the
advice and, I will talk to you soon!



hugs,
amy

TACTILE ART EXHIBIT AT CONCORD UNIVERSITY ISSUES CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ATHENS, W.Va. – Organizers of an art show scheduled for this fall at 
Concord University are issuing a call for submissions. Artists from 
across the region are invited to submit their work for possible 
exhibition in “The Feeling of Art: A Tactile Multimedia Art Experience 
Part 2”.
“The Feeling of Art” is a touchable art exhibit designed to allow 
everyone, including those who cannot see, an opportunity to enjoy art in 
a new way. The show will be displayed in the Arthur Butcher Art Gallery 
Oct. 8 – Oct. 12, 2018 with a reception planned for Thursday, Oct. 11 
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The gallery is located in the Fine Arts Center on 
Concord’s Athens, WV campus.
Professional artists, students, professors, children and members of the 
community are invited to submit art for the exhibit.  Work from 
preschool to adult artists will be eligible in any medium. All artwork 
submitted in the show must be durable and safe enough to be touched.
Dr. Lauri Reidmiller, Associate Professor of Art, and Concord student 
Keri L. Svendsen, organizers of the exhibition, stated, “Our objective 
is to create a tactile art show that is accessible to all audiences. 
Everything in this show will be able to be touched and experienced 
regardless of sight. We hope to further the development of accessible 
art and cultural opportunities in our community.”
This exhibition will be fun for adults and children alike, they said. It 
will give everyone the opportunity to get up close and personal in a 
unique gallery event. The reception on Oct. 11 will be free and open to 
the Concord University community and the general public. Earlier that 
morning area school children will attend the show.
The upcoming October show is the second tactile art exhibit that 
Reidmiller and Svendsen have hosted on behalf of Concord University. The 
first was held in March 2016.
Following the success of the inaugural event, Svendsen is looking 
forward to increasing the number of works on display with this fall’s 
exhibit. “We had 45 pieces in the last show and we want to make this 
bigger,” she said.
There is no fee to enter. The deadline for entries is Sept. 1, 2018.

Dear friends! I’m sure you’re all excited about the upcoming convention! I wanted to reach out to you all to see if any of you have experience the same frustrating issues that I have. My University uses an insurance company called Gallagher Sherance. Every year, we are required to go to the website and fill out our insurance information purchased by insurance, or fill out a waiver form. All of this is very difficult to navigate and is not very accessible. Also, many times they require additional documentation to be uploaded. This part of the website I have also found an accessible. I know that Gallagher insurance is used by other universities around the country. Have any of you experienced the same problem? If so, please reach out to me by phone or text at 901-483-1515 or feel free to send me an email. I have spoken to the national office about this and Tim elder. We are trying to determine of other students at other universities are having the same problems. Thank you so much!

Subject: [NABS-L] College Major Help
Message-ID: <5b2a7b8f.1c69fb81.79cc9.661f@mx.google.com>

Hi All,
I've just finished my sophomore year of college.  So far, I've 
really enjoyed my experience.
I am part of the College of Liberal Arts, which encompasses most 
of the non-STEM subjects such as English, history and psychology.  
When I first began my freshman year, I declared an English major, 
and was hoping at the time to become an English professor.  
However, now my focus has changed, and I am narrowing down 
between two options: VI teacher and rehabilitation counsellor.
My school does not have specialized programs for either of these 
(understandably, considering that I'm now the only blind student 
attending), but I have heard that you can still finish an 
undergraduate in another major before getting a Master's in 
either of these at another school.  I anticipate that I will 
probably need to change my major from English if I want to 
continue at my current school, but I'm not sure of this, nor am I 
sure which major to swieatch to.  If anyone could help in regards 
to the appropriate undergraduate major, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Vejas

Hello Shannon,

Thank you for posting this message regarding volunteer opportunities for NABS at national convention. I sent an email off list regarding my availability to volunteer for NABS at national convention. I hope you received my email.

However, I have a couple of questions in regards to the volunteer opportunities listed in this email. First, this message states that Marshallers are needed for the NABS business meeting starting at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, July 4, 2018. However, the agenda for national convention states that registration for the NABS business meeting starts at 6:00 pm. So I am wondering if you would want Marshallers to be in place for when the registration for the NABS business meeting begins.

Second, I noticed the time slots listed to volunteer to work in the exhibit hall does not include the time slot on Friday evening from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and the last lunch time slot on Saturday from 12:00 pm to 1:45 pm. Does this mean these time slots have already been filled and do not need any volunteers? I just want to clarify this for those who may be interested in working these time slots.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Vejas,
I think there is no right or wrong choice here, especially if you are
thinking of becoming a TVI or a rehabilitation counselor.
Perhaps psychology would be helpful for entering the teaching or
counseling field as Psychology teaches you a lot about learning,
behavior, how people think etc. That being said, I know people who
have studied English or people who have studied chemistry before they
got their master's to become a TVI.
My advice would be to study what you enjoy, and find ways in which
that major can give you transferable skills for your graduate studies.

Miso

Great questions Elizabeth,
NABS will not be participating in those particular time slots, as for the the request for marshallers at 6PM, we will request volunteers to arrive at least 10- 15 minutes prior to their shifts; however, we may not ask the marshallers to begin until a little before the start of registration.

Does this mean these time slots have already been filled and do not need any volunteers? I just want to clarify this for those who may be interested in working these time slots.

Hello fellow students,
I have a question about blind square. Could some of you who use it share your experiences? Is it good? Do you have suggestions for any other walking GPS for the blind?
Thank you

Hello, 
BlindSquare is pretty good. I use it when it comes to traveling in unfamiliar areas. My favorite when it comes to the accessible GPS apps is Nearby Explorer by APH. It not only tells you what's around you, but also gives you turn-by-turn navigation.

Blind square is great for letting you know places of interest such as businesses and  landmarking, but it does not give you detailed directions of travel. I prefer nearby explorer

I prefer blind square in combination with nearby explorer or Google maps or Apple Maps

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.

My orentation and movilitty teacher was obsessed  with blind square.
I have used it for many years, but have decided to transition  to
using near by explorer  by APH.
Things i liked about blind square
* etells you what direction a point of interest is away  from you in
several modes, clock face, cardinal , degree,  and left/right.
Places were organized by catagory for easy finding. for example, if
you are looking for a building on campus  you can go under the college
and university catagory.
things i don't like
no turn by turn directions.
not good when you want to share points of interest with others that
have the app.
doesn't have all of the transit information that near by explorer  has.
I hope this helped.

I've used BlindSquare but I never quite got the hang of it. Nearby Explorer
sounds great, but is there a demo version? That's a lot of money and I'd
like to try it before I buy it.

What is the best turn by turn app?  I've heard of 4 squared. 

Does that work?

Aloha students,

This evening we will be joined by the great John Zamarra as he answers all of your toughest Vocational Rehabilitation related questions.  We’ve noticed an increase in questions over the past month pertaining to VR, how do you justify going to a training center?, Will VR pay for private school, What if I go to a school out of state?, what is WIOA and how could it impact me?, and so much more.
John is equipped with the experience and knowledge to answer all of these burning inquiries, and we hope you take full advantage of his expertise.

Again, the call will begin promptly at 8PM Eastern, call 712-770-5197, code:265669

We hope to see you there.

We are staying at the Rosen center, as it Is a little quieter and offers access to the trolley and international drive. Last year, the Rosen hotel offered a free car service for convention attendees going between hotels, and I am hoping they do the same this year. I called them today, and they do not have any information about this as of yet, but I will check back in a couple more weeks to confirm it. Anyway, if you are looking to save a little money by rooming with someone, please consider contacting me.

Hello students,

 

I am proud to announce that I am running for the position of secretary of
our national student division.

I have been involved in the Federation for just over a year, and during that
year, I had the honor of learning from some of the most dynamic and
enthusiastic leaders in the student division. They taught me about our
philosophy, opened my mind to greater possibilities, pushed me to reach my
full potential, and spurred my inspiration to rebuild the Connecticut
student division. I would like to give back to NABS and all of the students
who have had an impact on my individual growth by instilling the same
independence, confidence, and perseverance in others.

While compiling the NABS Notes for the past few months, I have had the
pleasure of getting to know so many of you an observing all of the exciting
projects within your state divisions. I am impressed with your dedication,
creativity, and positive outlook. 

As the president of the Connecticut Association of Blind students and
secretary of the Massachusetts Association of Blind Students, I have
witnessed first-hand the power of effective collaboration and mentorship.
Additionally, I serve as an Accessibility Services Peer Mentor at Mount
Holyoke College, where I assist students with disabilities in the transition
to college and eliminate access barriers that appear on campus. 

I am asking for your vote for secretary during our annual NABS business
meeting in Orlando. I hope to apply the ideals of collective action,
community, and mentoring at the national level. It is vital that we all
network with one another in order to create a comprehensive list of
problem-solving strategies, so that no one has to endure struggles alone. As
secretary, I would support NABS in their continued efforts to empower blind
individuals with the determination to live the lives we want. We are not
victims to our disabilities!

Of course this goes without saying, but you definitely have my vote. I won't get all mushy and emotional, so instead I will just say that you deserve this more than anyone. #MelissaCarneyForTheWin!

Message-ID: <5b32674b.1c69fb81.18ce8.fc7e@mx.google.com>

Hi All,
I am trying to set up Whatsapp on my iphone 8 independently.  I 
downloaded the app without any problems, but before I can get 
started I need to enter my phone number, and I'm very confused as 
to how to do that.  There are two text fields, but it's not clear 
which field I should use.  The second text field has the number 1 
on it, which I'm assumed is the country code.
I tried entering my number in the first text field, but couldn't 
hit the Done button.  If I use the second text field, it says 
"invalid country code." Does anyone know how the phone number 
fields work?
Thanks.
Sincerely,

Melissa, 

I have known you for quite some time now and I have noticed that you are not only a genuine, kind, and sincere friend, but you are also a very hardworking, diligent, and passionate leader that shows tremendous and fantastic leadership. You are always willing to help assist when people have questions or comments and you are not afraid to jump in to give them a hand in helping them. I am also very impressed on how awesome you did after tirelessly compiling the list of the NABS Notes the past several months. With that said, Melissa, you have my vote and support for the position of secretary for the National Association of Blind Students. There is no one else that deserves this amazing opportunity and you will have a phenomenal experience. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you will achieve this goal of yours.

Hello students,

 

I am proud to announce that I am running for the position of secretary of
our national student division.

I have been involved in the Federation for just over a year, and during that
year, I had the honor of learning from some of the most dynamic and
enthusiastic leaders in the student division. They taught me about our
philosophy, opened my mind to greater possibilities, pushed me to reach my
full potential, and spurred my inspiration to rebuild the Connecticut
student division. I would like to give back to NABS and all of the students
who have had an impact on my individual growth by instilling the same
independence, confidence, and perseverance in others.

While compiling the NABS Notes for the past few months, I have had the
pleasure of getting to know so many of you an observing all of the exciting
projects within your state divisions. I am impressed with your dedication,
creativity, and positive outlook. 

As the president of the Connecticut Association of Blind students and
secretary of the Massachusetts Association of Blind Students, I have
witnessed first-hand the power of effective collaboration and mentorship.
Additionally, I serve as an Accessibility Services Peer Mentor at Mount
Holyoke College, where I assist students with disabilities in the transition
to college and eliminate access barriers that appear on campus. 

I am asking for your vote for secretary during our annual NABS business
meeting in Orlando. I hope to apply the ideals of collective action,
community, and mentoring at the national level. It is vital that we all
network with one another in order to create a comprehensive list of
problem-solving strategies, so that no one has to endure struggles alone. As
secretary, I would support NABS in their continued efforts to empower blind
individuals with the determination to live the lives we want. We are not
victims to our disabilities!

Hi all,

I'm wondering what suggestions anybody might have for creating readable
maps. - I go to a number of public events where there are a lot of trails
and paths that are not marked out in a form I can access. Many times the
event will have a program with a map, but even then the map they provide is
not detailed enough. I find that people are also not great at getting the
information correct, someone will say east and someone else will say west. 

I was thinking about maybe using a gell pen, or perhaps one of those 3d
pencils, but haven't used either. I was also thinking about maybe just using
my stylus to make a series of dotted lines. Has anybody here faced a similar
challenge and what solutions do you find work best.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks, I really appreciate the work. I also forgot to mention that I was the president of the Georgia Association of blind students the year after my secretary position, it was during my senior year. So that gave me a boost as to how things are run, and I can’t wait to hopefully serve in that position.

Some of you on this list, if not most of you, no me from various Georgia state conventions and other state conventions in other states including a few national conventions during the years. I am writing to you all because I’m putting myself in the nominating position for secretary for the national board. I feel that I will be a very good candidate for this, because when I was a part of the Georgia Association of Blind Students a few years ago while I was in high school, I was  secretary for one year and I had very good experiences with it. Due to this experience, I have been given the opportunity to take minutes and do other secretarial tasks when needed. I am very excited and ready to give this beautiful organization my all with this position because I feel that we can do more for ourselves as students and members. This can be done and more with a board that has the love, hope, and determination to make anything possible.

All:
I recently served as Vice President on the Massachusetts association of
Blind Students board; one of the goals was to bring new students who
were hard-working, and dependable in so that we could have an easy
transition and our work would be picked up. Melissa was one of those
that we started bringing in to help us plan events, and she was always
dependable, hard working and had great ideas that we could work with and
use to move forward. Her enthusiasm and dedication was great to have,
and I was happy to know that she was elected and would be Secretary of
MASSABS.

I know that Melissa would be a great asset to NABS and look forward to
her contributions in the future.
Thanks,
Ty

Hi there,
I set up WhatsApp some time ago, so my memory isn't clear on how it went. Have you tried putting your full phone number, including the +1 for North America, into that second field? Maybe both with and without the actual plus sign?
I'm sorry I can't be more specific.
Sarah

Subject: [NABS-L] Help Setting Up Whatsapp on Iphone

Hi All,
I am trying to set up Whatsapp on my iphone 8 independently.  I
downloaded the app without any problems, but before I can get
started I need to enter my phone number, and I'm very confused as
to how to do that.  There are two text fields, but it's not clear
which field I should use.  The second text field has the number 1
on it, which I'm assumed is the country code.
I tried entering my number in the first text field, but couldn't
hit the Done button.  If I use the second text field, it says
"invalid country code." Does anyone know how the phone number
fields work?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Vejas Vasiliauskas

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the reply. I figured it out somehow after playing around with it... to be honest I can't remember exactly what I did but it worked.

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our research mission.



NRTC Employment Transition App User Testing

Dear Parents and Students,
The National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision is developing a mobile app to help parents and youth focus on employment. The app will provide information and resources to support families in fostering their children's independence and success from an early age. The app is for use by parents of children who are blind or visually impaired, ages 4 to 24, and by young people who are blind or visually impaired, ages 16 to 24.
The NRTC is seeking parents and young adults to test usability of the app at the National Federation of the Blind's 2018 National Convention. Participants should be computer or smartphone users. Parents should have a child who is blind or visually impaired between the ages of 4 to 24 or close to that age range; students should be between the ages of 16 to 24. Testing times will be scheduled on Wednesday, July 4 through Saturday, July 7.
User testing will take approximately one hour, and participants will receive compensation of $50 in cash for their participation.
If you are attending the 2018 National Convention and are interested in participating in the app user testing, please contact researcher Dr. Karla Antonelli at kantonelli at colled.msstate.edu<mailto:kantonelli at colled.msstate.edu> to provide your contact information and to reserve a study time. Only a small number of testing time slots are available, so please sign up early.
You may also go online using the link below to provide your contact information for this and future testing opportunities regarding the app.

Subject: [NABS-L] Support VABS: Win Free Uber Rides!
Message-ID: <004601d40f0d$abb5b1f0$032115d0$@gmail.com>

Good Afternoon Everyone

 

Are you pumped? We are days away from the family reunion we have been
anticipating. The 78th NFB National Convention will bring together a myriad
of affiliates, members, divisions, and families that have a week to update
each other of efforts in their areas, socially connect, and just as
importantly, grow their divisions, chapters, and affiliates through
fundraising efforts. The Virginia Association of Blind Students will not
disappoint, with a fundraising effort that we all can appreciate. Throughout
the week of convention, and the days leading up to it, you can catch a VABS
member in the halls of the Rosen Shingle Creek to buy a very important
raffle ticket. We will be raffling off three $50 uber gift cards. These
three drawings will take place on July 4,6, and 8 at 10pm on each day. 

 

Not attending convention this year? No problem!! Like our affiliate and
organization, the opportunities do not stop if you don't attend the
convention. VABS will accept payment and ticket orders via cash, check, Cash
App, or Venmo. You do not have to be present if your ticket is pulled and
you can still receive your uber gift card either in mail or directly to your
app if you are not in Orlando. If you are present at convention, a VABS
board member or officer will locate you and deliver your gift card in
person. 

 

 

The price for VABS raffle tickets are $5 for one ticket and $10 for 3
tickets. We look forward to connecting with all of you at convention. 

 

P.S. VABS is now accepting raffle ticket orders for the July 4th drawing.
Please contact me at 804.801.7674 or rob.parso3389 at gmail.com for more
information or a purchase.

Since Michael Hingson was gracious enough to do an interview about
Aira, what it means for those going to convention, at the request of a
few on this list, I am posting the following:
Hi All!
The convention madness is in full swing; people are packing, doing
that last minute shopping, making final preparations, and soon, many
of us will be headed to Orlando Florida for the next NFB convention.
And for those who can't attend, 195 The Globe is partnering with the
NFB to provide you coverage of the board of director's meeting,
general sessions, banquet, etc.

#nfb18 this year, join me tonight for a very special and fun Djd
Invasion Send Off To Convention show on Friday, June 29, 2018 starting

Whether you're doing that last minute packing or just want some Friday
night fun, tune in to this special send off party to hear...
Fun and upbeat music
Being that Orlando is home to the happiest place on Earth, we'll have
a few sets dedicated to some Disney songs.
Your requests, especially if they are for songs that make you feel

in which he talks to us about what you can expect from Aira at this
year's conventions, a specific partnership with Lyft at this year's
NFB convention, and how a new partnership and the guest access program
will allow you to try out Aira for free during convention week!
This is going to be an energizing show, and one to get you feeling
good for convention if you're going, or happy that it's the summer
time if you're not.

Hi guise,
As I am trying to do last minute packing, I realize I have a big
problem. I found out that my roommate baled on me, and I need a
roommate for the convention to  reduce costs. I realize that you have
roommates  already, but just thought I would ask because I have to
figure this out as soon as possible.
If you are interested please email me at taylorarndt99 at gmail.com
Thanks
