Please distribute this flyer to anyone and everyone who may be interested. As you'll notice from the flyer, in case you haven't heard already, the registration is open, and we need to get people signed up! I am deeply grateful to the student leaders who have been stepping up to make this seminar possible. We use the Hawaiian word "laulima" to say that many hands make light work.

It is seeking ideas, experiences, and stories from advocates like you. This dialogue will continue until June 14. Please pass on this information to your state student division and urge your members to submit comments. The National Federation of the Blind opposes the payment of subminimum wages based on a worker’s disability, and our members have been active at the state and federal level to end this practice. Our continued advocacy has already led a growing number of states to pass legislation or policies that prohibit the payment of subminimum wages. Likewise, the NFB supports the passage of the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R. 873/S. 260), a pair of federal bills calling for the phase out of subminimum wages over a six-year period. Here is the announcement from the US Department of Labor, including the link to submit your comments: May 28, 2019 The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), through its ePolicyWorks initiative, is hosting this national online dialogue to gather perspectives on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Please share your ideas, individual stories, and personal experiences illustrating the impact of Section 14(c) on the employment of people with disabilities. The goal of this online dialogue is to capture perspectives about Section 14(c) based on individual input from those "on the ground." Information gleaned from the comments will then be summarized to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national levels. The Section 14(c) National Online Dialogue https://14cdialogue.ideascale.com/ Thank you all for your leadership and participation in our movement! Aloha, Justin Justin M.

Message-ID: <4B188C91-3725-4F66-AEB8-A830D3C9D3FD@gmail.com> Hey, everyone! I hope y’all are having a great weekend.                 Being that a lot of us just finished our Spring semesters, I know the last thing we want to hear about is classes, assignments, professors, and exams. However, I’ve been contemplating taking some online courses this Summer, to both get some necessary credits out of the way and also get exposure to classes that my school does not have.                 Does anyone have experience with taking online courses? I have held back on registering because I want to make sure that the materials will be accessible (I’ve made inquiries about this). These courses are not from the school I attend during the year, so their practices are unfamiliar to me.                 Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My suggestion would be to contact the disability office, as well as the specific professor (if known at the time of registration). Another thing I've done with regular classes in the past that do not yet have a professor listed is to ask someone who has taught or run the course previously. Usually, materials do not change too much. Department heads also can tell you what materials may be required for the course that year. Of course, I've only done this with in person courses, but I'm assuming that coordinators may have similar info.

You're saying it "doesn't matter" to you. Is somebody asking you to create this site? If so, perhaps you could ask them to have a couple more people building the site with you so that it's not overwhelming? The part that I, and probably many others, are confused about is: Why are you trying to create new Web sites every so ofwithen? Wouldn't it be better to just stick to one platform, and update that? I think that in general you should also give more detail about the site in your original emails.

First, if you are building a site for someone that's great, but why are you posting this here? This looks like a very personal local project. What good would a bunch of blind students from around the country/world do by signing up to your site? Secondly, if you are building this for an organization, it might be wirth considering using a professional setup and something like Drupal/Wordpress, getting their own domain (that web url is not very understandable), and doing something that doesn't include adds. I realize this is your first effort, but it's worth moving forward on. Finally, I touched on this before, but just because you're upset that people don't understand what you're hoping to gain (and perhaps could have said it better), we are not the reason for the pressure on you, and when you're asking people to log in and provide information, people are quite entitled to ask questions.

You can use the following information to attend: Dial 712-770-5197 Access Code 265669 Additionally, as everyone should have seen a little over a week ago, in my email below, we are in the middle of an amazing opportunity to get the US Department of Labor to hear our voices about subminimum wages for workers with disabilities. Unfortunately, most of the responses are coming from the workshops. We need to make sure that they hear from us, too. We only have until June 14! You don’t have to be the world’s expert on the topic to make a difference. You just have to say what you think. Here’s what I want for each and every one of us: When we graduate with our degrees and enter the workforce, no employer should have the option to pay us less just because we have a disability. This two-tiered system is broken, and it leads people to continue thinking that we are automatically less productive because we are blind. All we are asking is that the same laws that protect people without disabilities should protect people with disabilities, as well. We are not asking for special treatment; we are rejecting it. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to our national office if you need help with this. Every voice makes a difference. Talofa, Justin Justin M. Hideaki Salisbury he/him/his Board Member | National Association of Blind Students A proud division of the National Federation of the Blind (808) 797-8606 president at alumni.ecu.edu | www.nabslink.org From: Justin Salisbury Sent: Friday, May 31, 2019 10:40 PM To: National Association of Blind Students mailing list Subject: Legislative Alert: the US Department of Labor Wants to Hear from You Greetings Fellow Federationists: This week, the US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announced the opening of a National Online Dialogue about the use of subminimum wages. It is seeking ideas, experiences, and stories from advocates like you. This dialogue will continue until June 14. Please pass on this information to your state student division and urge your members to submit comments. The National Federation of the Blind opposes the payment of subminimum wages based on a worker’s disability, and our members have been active at the state and federal level to end this practice. Our continued advocacy has already led a growing number of states to pass legislation or policies that prohibit the payment of subminimum wages. Likewise, the NFB supports the passage of the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R. 873/S. 260), a pair of federal bills calling for the phase out of subminimum wages over a six-year period. Here is the announcement from the US Department of Labor, including the link to submit your comments: May 28, 2019 The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), through its ePolicyWorks initiative, is hosting this national online dialogue to gather perspectives on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Please share your ideas, individual stories, and personal experiences illustrating the impact of Section 14(c) on the employment of people with disabilities. The goal of this online dialogue is to capture perspectives about Section 14(c) based on individual input from those "on the ground." Information gleaned from the comments will then be summarized to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national levels. The Section 14(c) National Online Dialogue https://14cdialogue.ideascale.com/ Thank you all for your leadership and participation in our movement! Aloha, Justin Justin M.

This doesn't seem to help anyone but the person needing it, and that's fine, but do preface this if you want to get more information. Most importantly, where is this information going, what is it doing/how is it being used, etc. On 6/10/2019 6:01 PM, Itto Outini via NABS-L wrote: > ttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMPc1qij72Ebs1dLRPwE4YLVkNFHMoVhZ3J9q_q-W06_e9Gg/viewform > > > Please fill out this survey to help the blind.

My research is on the impact of Facebook groups on the blind and visually impaired. The aim of my research is to investigate how Facebook has helped blind and visually impaired people overcome the daily challenges they face. This research will help the blind and visually impaired to better maximize the benefits of other technology and media in different aspects of their lives and activities.

I love Uber and have mostly had very positive experiences. But I was just wondering if anyone has had an issue with the "message driver" function on the Iphone app. There is a text field for writing the message. Below that, there's a "type your message here" button, but no send button. Pressing enter (with a Braille display) doesn't work, as it would with iMessage, and just proceeds to the next line of the message. Has anyone found a work-around to this prproblem?

Message-ID: Good afternoon students, I hope you are all having a fun, enjoyable, and productive summer. National convention is only a month away, and I for one am excited for our family reunion. I hope you are looking forward to our NABS events at convention as much as our board is. However, we cannot do what we do without the help from our members. Below, please find a brief summary of volunteer positions. If you are interested in volunteering at any of these events, please contact Syed Rizvi (syedrizvinfb at gmail.com) and Nina Marranca (ninam0814 at gmail.com)directly by June 25 at 11:59pm eastern standard time. We are eager to reunite with our members and meet new members in our Federation family in just a month! Marshalls: do you have a loud voice and enjoy meeting new people? If so, marshalling is perfect for you! Your duty as a marshaller is to point people in the direction of the event taking place. For example, by saying "Student Networking this way!" We will need marshallers for Student Networking, our NABS Business Meeting, and our Carnival being co-hosted with the American Action Fund as we celebrate their one-hundredth year. Pre-registration and registration: we are in need of volunteers to help us prior to our business meeting on Monday evening. You will be tasked with crowd/line management and the registration of business meeting attendees. Booths and carnival games: are you ever nostalgic for your childhood experiences at carnivals? Fear not, the American Action Fund and NABS are here for you. We need your help in setting up carnival games and booths for convention attendees on Tuesday evening. Exhibit table: are you exceptionally persuasive and great with people? If so, we are in need of your talent. NABS will be selling T-Shirts and water bottles at our exhibit table, and we need you. This is a wonderful way to meet people as you simultaneously support NABS in the process. We hope you will consider volunteering a few hours of your time at the 2019 convention of the National Federation of the Blind. Thank you in advance for helping our events run as smoothly as possible.

I’m going to share a little bit of the backstory as I have heard it, not because I want to throw shame on anyone, but because I want our members to understand that we may be doing better than we realized. As many of you know, we have also been doing a lot of advocacy to improve accessibility in many areas. Ironically, this Online system that we were supposed to be using to submit our comments was not accessible to many people with different types of disabilities. Thus, it wasn’t that lots of people with disabilities were not trying to speak out against the practice. It was that the system was literally rigged in a way that we couldn’t speak up. I will not engage in any kind of conspiracy theory, and I encourage people to avoid that even if it may be an instinct. Thankfully, now that we have engaged in the right kinds of conversations with people at the US Department of Labor, they have decided to extend the deadline so that more people can participate, and accessibility barriers are being addressed. In summary, there is no reason to be discouraged by the amount of arguments in favor of the practice because the people with disabilities who are speaking out against it simply may not appear right now in the online system. Since we don’t know who is and who is not, it is vital that we do speak up, every single one of us. So, let’s all go and make our voices heard! In the Hawaiian concept of Laulima, many hands make light work. Mahalo!

You can use the following information to attend: Dial 712-770-5197 Access Code 265669 Additionally, as everyone should have seen a little over a week ago, in my email below, we are in the middle of an amazing opportunity to get the US Department of Labor to hear our voices about subminimum wages for workers with disabilities. Unfortunately, most of the responses are coming from the workshops. We need to make sure that they hear from us, too. We only have until June 14! You don’t have to be the world’s expert on the topic to make a difference. You just have to say what you think. Here’s what I want for each and every one of us: When we graduate with our degrees and enter the workforce, no employer should have the option to pay us less just because we have a disability. This two-tiered system is broken, and it leads people to continue thinking that we are automatically less productive because we are blind. All we are asking is that the same laws that protect people without disabilities should protect people with disabilities, as well. We are not asking for special treatment; we are rejecting it. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to our national office if you need help with this. Every voice makes a difference. Talofa, Justin Justin M. Hideaki Salisbury he/him/his Board Member | National Association of Blind Students A proud division of the National Federation of the Blind (808) 797-8606 president at alumni.ecu.edu | www.nabslink.org From: Justin Salisbury Sent: Friday, May 31, 2019 10:40 PM To: National Association of Blind Students mailing list > Subject: Legislative Alert: the US Department of Labor Wants to Hear from You Greetings Fellow Federationists: This week, the US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announced the opening of a National Online Dialogue about the use of subminimum wages. It is seeking ideas, experiences, and stories from advocates like you. This dialogue will continue until June 14. Please pass on this information to your state student division and urge your members to submit comments. The National Federation of the Blind opposes the payment of subminimum wages based on a worker’s disability, and our members have been active at the state and federal level to end this practice. Our continued advocacy has already led a growing number of states to pass legislation or policies that prohibit the payment of subminimum wages. Likewise, the NFB supports the passage of the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R. 873/S. 260), a pair of federal bills calling for the phase out of subminimum wages over a six-year period. Here is the announcement from the US Department of Labor, including the link to submit your comments: May 28, 2019 The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), through its ePolicyWorks initiative, is hosting this national online dialogue to gather perspectives on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Please share your ideas, individual stories, and personal experiences illustrating the impact of Section 14(c) on the employment of people with disabilities. The goal of this online dialogue is to capture perspectives about Section 14(c) based on individual input from those "on the ground." Information gleaned from the comments will then be summarized to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national levels. The Section 14(c) National Online Dialogue https://14cdialogue.ideascale.com/ Thank you all for your leadership and participation in our movement! Aloha, Justin Justin M.

Since we both have these concerns, I again ask what we can do about it. What would a time management tool kit look like for a blind/visually impaired college student? It is true that for many in the blind community, their smart phone has become the best tool for planning out their day, week or month. I'm thankful for the calendar apps on my iPhone. So, let's ask ourselves. What are the specific concerns you face as blind college students? Can this material be put together into a package that can be placed on the Student Division web site? Can we do a blog post, podcast, or article about this topic. If there is the need for a program or module like this, I'd like it to be made available in forms like this. I'm not sure if the student division is still doing conference calls. If they are, and they're archived, that can help. However, if not, could a podcast, blog post or article address these issues? Also, Kendra, I think you've hit on another concern I've seen: lack of tech training. In an ideal world, I'd love to see a tech training center in every state, but that's not bound to happen. I believe that what you're looking for, if I've heard you right is for someone to give you step-by-step detailed tutorials on how to use various pieces of tech, much like what we see on the Apple Vis site. You also want to see these trainers give specific nonvisual directions so you can follow the steps in the sequence. But back to time management and the issue of college burnout. Can we put something together to address this issue? Thanks. _______________________________________________ NABS-L mailing list NABS-L at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/justin.williams2%40gmail .com _______________________________________________ NABS-L mailing list NABS-L at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/awildheir%40gmail.com From sflinder775 at access.alamancecc.edu Thu Jun 13 16:15:58 2019 From: sflinder775 at access.alamancecc.edu (Selvin Linder) Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2019 12:15:58 -0400 Subject: [NABS-L] Letter Message-ID: Dear Students: Thank you to all of you who helped me on how to interview.

However, why not use an application that can read it in EPub for you without having to do all that. There is an app called bookshelf by vital source which primarily has books in EPub format. It is free to download and all you have to do is create an account for free which will allow you to download books directly from the site, and you will be paying for them but they will be 80% less than a traditional college textbook any day. So the payment for your books will be worth it. I have never had accessibility issues with this kind of format in that app. Also, if you have this book from a different source you can import it into the app to read.

The question is where did you get the book from originally? If you got it from BookShare you can go to your account and click on the book itself where it says available like the status, and because you have bookshelf installed, you can easily import it from there. You should be able to do that with other software as well. I’ve only done it through BookShare so that’s all I know.

However, why not use an application that can read it in EPub for you without having to do all that. There is an app called bookshelf by vital source which primarily has books in EPub format. It is free to download and all you have to do is create an account for free which will allow you to download books directly from the site, and you will be paying for them but they will be 80% less than a traditional college textbook any day. So the payment for your books will be worth it.

I'm not here to say whether or not this is the case, but you're acting like you can just file a form and sue a company. It generally takes hundreds of thousands of dollars, multiple lawyers, a lot of time, and most importantly very solid proof. So, if you want to file a lawsuit against a multi-billion dollar international company, get your wallet out and find a lawyer near you. They only charge a few hundred dollars an hour or so, nothing to worry about. Enjoy!

Also, they may have hired people and lost them, or simply just not taken the post down. Reapplication is always a great idea, but you're trying to take this to another extreme. Please remember what I said about reviews and how that will help (or harm) you, specifically. I'm not saying that you shouldn't fight, I had various jobs along my job search just refuse to interview me when they found out I'm blind. It's a very discouraging feeling, but sometimes you have to pick your battles, and most importantly you have to remember that you have a lot more to lose than a company.

I've just started interning at a disability law office and there are three reasons why I think it's just not worth it: 1. You may lose lots of money if you don't win. 2. Much of your energy will be spent on the lawsuit. It might be really draining and there are many more positive ways to use your energy. 3. You are likely, for the rest of your life once you sue, to experience animosity with a company and its employers. So if you want to re-apply in the Fall, the chances of getting hired will be better if you don't do it. Also probably best not to write the bad review. It's obviously your decision, but be careful!

We are lucky that the deadline has been extended to June 21, so let's make sure that we take full advantage of this extension. This effort will be the focus of Sunday's call. You don’t have to be the world’s expert on the topic to make a difference. You just have to say what you think. Here’s what I want for each and every one of us: When we graduate with our degrees and enter the workforce, no employer should have the option to pay us less just because we have a disability. This two-tiered system is broken, and it leads people to continue thinking that we are automatically less productive because we are blind. All we are asking is that the same laws that protect people without disabilities should protect people with disabilities, as well. We are not asking for special treatment; we are rejecting it. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to our national office if you need help with this. Every voice makes a difference. Yours in Federationism, Justin Justin M. Hideaki Salisbury he/him/his Board Member | National Association of Blind Students A proud division of the National Federation of the Blind (808) 797-8606 president at alumni.ecu.edu | www.nabslink.org From: Justin Salisbury Sent: Friday, May 31, 2019 10:40 PM To: National Association of Blind Students mailing list > Subject: Legislative Alert: the US Department of Labor Wants to Hear from You Greetings Fellow Federationists: This week, the US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announced the opening of a National Online Dialogue about the use of subminimum wages. It is seeking ideas, experiences, and stories from advocates like you. This dialogue will continue until June 14. Please pass on this information to your state student division and urge your members to submit comments. The National Federation of the Blind opposes the payment of subminimum wages based on a worker’s disability, and our members have been active at the state and federal level to end this practice. Our continued advocacy has already led a growing number of states to pass legislation or policies that prohibit the payment of subminimum wages. Likewise, the NFB supports the passage of the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act (H.R. 873/S. 260), a pair of federal bills calling for the phase out of subminimum wages over a six-year period. Here is the announcement from the US Department of Labor, including the link to submit your comments: May 28, 2019 The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), through its ePolicyWorks initiative, is hosting this national online dialogue to gather perspectives on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Please share your ideas, individual stories, and personal experiences illustrating the impact of Section 14(c) on the employment of people with disabilities. The goal of this online dialogue is to capture perspectives about Section 14(c) based on individual input from those "on the ground." Information gleaned from the comments will then be summarized to provide ODEP an overview of Section 14(c) at the state and national levels. The Section 14(c) National Online Dialogue https://14cdialogue.ideascale.com/ Thank you all for your leadership and participation in our movement! Aloha, Justin Justin M.

Jaws should not freeze during the scan. Microsoft generally makes the most efort among antivirus vendors to make their products accessible, which is why the only antivirus that is completely usable with screen readers is defender.

I hope your summer has been going well and you have been staying cool, relaxing, and enjoying yourselves. National convention is upon us with many exciting events, but first, please spare a moment to check out this month’s blog post from Tony Gebhard from Michigan. This month’s outreach theme is all about health, fitness, and sports. Happy reading! Note: there will be a link that will take you to the blog post on our website and the blog is copied and pasted below for your convenience. Link: https://nabslink.org/content/june-2019-blog-post-art-our-playing-field-tony-gebhard From the Editor: Tony Gebhard is a born musician, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, travel junky, aviation nerd, and is all about mental health advocacy. He has been involved actively with the Federation since 2017 when he attended his first state convention in Michigan. Tony will be attending school in the fall and he will major in marketing. He has a deep passion for journalism and capturing those who feel lost or without a voice. He has two published albums and currently sings and plays guitar for a metal band based in MI called Lost In Hope. Tony is always open to meeting new folks in the Federation and is working closely to bringing out the best in any individual. The Art of Our Playing Field by Tony Gebhard. Whether you’re focusing on an intensive game of goal ball, while scraping up your knees from catching quite the fast serve on defense. Making a strong effort to hit that auditory ball during a beep baseball game, or running a 5k until your lungs go crazy!There’s athleticism in our blood waiting to be exploited by our mental power and perseverance. How do we center ourselves in really diverting from the excuses and stepping onto a field or track with confidence? Let’s figure it out together. First things first. Not everyone is going to strive to be number one on a team, in a sport, or hobby. However, taking those few moments to recognize our progress and give that long awaited pat on our backs is essential for making ends meet in our minds. It doesn’t stop there, though. Sports amongst our blind and visually impaired community exist and there’s endless other options into putting ourselves in our own version of bootcamp. To strengthen, exercise, and push for that self esteem boost that we’ve longed for. I’ll take just one second to express: I’ve tripped over roots on hikes, run into teammates on soccer fields, broken toes while trying to reflex to blocking a ball from our goal zone. What I’m trying to get at is failure is a part of growth. Sweat, doubt, muscle pain, excuses, and other forms of resistance are the very essence of what will determine our next rep in a set or finish during a workout goal. You’re a hero. Failure exposes our version of progress and realism in being a human being. I believe in you. Feeling hurt or having pushback means we have some work to do. We wish somewhere on this green earth that there was an antidote that turns us into Iron Man, but that isn’t the case, my friends. Wouldn’t that be dope, though? Where to start on this journey… The question asked when getting passed that initial anxiety. Ten push ups in the morning, ten at night. How about a lap around the block where you live? A nice 20 minute stroll on the treadmill. A local visit to a gym nearby to survey the potential equipment. As blind people, an orientation at a gym can be a nightmare at first. Especially if its floor is layered with rows and rows of different machines. Some of my exposures to a few Planet Fitness locations were disastrous. I get it. The last thing we want is to be constantly grabbed and or bombarded with redirections. Yet, to name a couple, Aira works wonders for guided navigation by a well-trained agent who can assist with ambient description and even on-screen navigation for some of those touch-oriented machines on the floor. Yet, Aira requires a paid subscription. So, next in line is Be My Eyes. Both options are available on iOS and Android. Options exist, friends. We all struggle day to day with keeping up with our classes work, hobbies, and hardworking endeavors. A boost, wise word, motivational speech, or some kick in the pants is all we need to get ourselves in action. No shame, self-hatred, self-judgement, none of these things are necessary. Love yourself and what it is you do. You’re worth the breath that comes through those lungs each day. Significant purpose lies in your hands and heart. If you feel as though you do not know yours right away, welcome to the flock of many others who are binding time and space just to seek their own. We’re in this together. What is it that makes you feel whole? Do you play a sport? An instrument? Participate in a school junction? We insist that you share with us over Facebook, Twitter, or email. Use the hashtag #MyHeartsPurpose to signify that pride of feeling of belonging. Thank you for reading and let’s go build the Federation and let’s rock this universe until it collapses at our feet.

The Georgia Association of Blind students is having our next conference call about extracurricular activities that students can participate in to have fun and develop meaningful connections. We have someone talking about participating in sports, and are looking for someone else to talk to us about how they participate in theater. Many blind students are not expected to perform on stage in productions because teachers and directors are concerned about the amount of movement involved, dancing, falling off the stage, and a myriad of other reasons. Many blind students are afraid of learning the dances, getting facial expressions right, and do not know how to navigate without looking blind on stage. If anyone has experience in this arena, we would love to hear from you. Our conference call will be Saturday, June 29 at 8:00 PM. If you are available and willing to speak about your experience with performing arts, please reach out. Thanks.

National convention is less than a month away, and we are excited! We hope you are looking forward to our NABS events at convention as much as our board is. However, we cannot do what we do without the help from our members. Below, please find a brief summary of volunteer positions. If you are interested in volunteering at any of these events, please contact Syed Rizvi (syedrizvinfb at gmail.com) and Nina Marranca (ninam0814 at gmail.com) directly by June 25 at 11:59pm eastern standard time. We are eager to reunite with our members and meet new members in our Federation family in just a month! Volunteer position descriptions are below: Marshalls: do you have a loud voice and enjoy meeting new people? If so, marshalling is perfect for you! Your duty as a marshaller is to point people in the direction of the event taking place. For example, by saying "Student Networking this way!" We will need marshallers for Student Networking, our NABS Business Meeting, and our Carnival being co-hosted with the American Action Fund as we celebrate their one-hundredth year. Pre-registration and registration: we are in need of volunteers to help us prior to our business meeting on Monday evening. You will be tasked with crowd/line management and the registration of business meeting attendees. Booths and carnival games: are you ever nostalgic for your childhood experiences at carnivals? Fear not, the American Action Fund and NABS are here for you. We need your help in setting up carnival games and booths for convention attendees on Tuesday evening. Exhibit table: are you exceptionally persuasive and great with people? If so, we are in need of your talent. NABS will be selling T-Shirts and water bottles at our exhibit table, and we need you. This is a wonderful way to meet people as you simultaneously support NABS in the process. We hope you will consider volunteering a few hours of your time at the 2019 convention of the National Federation of the Blind. Thank you in advance for helping our events run as smoothly as possible.

Please send me an email off-list if you want to chat. Also, have you gotten in touch with our Performing Arts Division and/or our Blind Musicians Group? Both organizations have a number of members who have performed at all levels of musical theatre, from amateur to professional. For your purposes, I'm thinking particularly of Julie McGinnity, Katelyn MacIntyre and Leslie Hamric. I'm the Co-Chair of the Musicians Group, so I would love to connect you.

Have you checked out the tactile watches from Bradley? They are different than traditional braille watches. There have two small spheres that travel around two circles on the watch. There’s one on the outside, and one surrounding a circle on the inside. One represents the hour, and one represents the minute. You can feel the position of the spheres to get the time. I don’t have one myself, but I know someone who really likes it. Here is a link to their website: https://www.eone-time.com/ Hope this helps, Jonathan Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 19, 2019, at 09:23, Ian Perrault via NABS-L wrote: > > Hi, > The last few Seiko Braille Watches that I've had, after about a year, they seem to stop working.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <77F6F196-7C5E-4DF0-B4CF-77BEB7666F34@gmail.com> Hi Nina, I think this is a great topic. I think the most interesting question I was ever asked, simply for being out of the ordinary, was what the term "sighted" means. I used to think that the word "sighted" tends to be common knowledge, and I still do, because I've only ever been asked by one person. Of course, I know that it's quite possible that others may not know either, but just don't ask. The most interesting question addressed to my parents about my blindness (my brother and I are both blind) was "How old were they when you got them?" The person asking the question had assumed that because we were both blind but our parents were sighted, then we were adopted. My parents responded by joking about the times of the day we were born. We also commonly get asked if we're twins, although I think this may not necessarily have to do with our blindness because our ages don't match our heights.

We are looking forward to sharing what NABS has been up to in the past year and what we hope to accomplish in the year to come. I heard through the grapevine that there are a few surprises in store that you will not want to miss! We highly encourage you to pre-register to expedite the process. Those who do not pre-register will need to wait in line much longer than those who did pre-register in advance. The National Association of Blind Students Board is eager to see you all very soon for our family reunion. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or concerns. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekQ-nnC9QQf8uJX8fRdE25X2J4fQ6WUs054JYWCktJ4Wg0mg/viewform Best, Kenia Flores Kenia Flores Furman University '20 Departments of Politics & International Affairs and History 2nd Vice President | National Association of Blind Students President | North Carolina Association of Blind Students (704) 476-6629 Kenia.flores at furman.edu From matthewhgip at gmail.com Thu Jun 20 02:10:08 2019 From: matthewhgip at gmail.com (Matthew Gip) Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 21:10:08 -0500 Subject: [NABS-L] Register for the 2019 Pacific Regional Student Seminar!

It takes a little bit to figure out how it works but once you do it's great. You can't accidentally change the time when you're checking it, and you don't have to worry about the catch to the lid breaking (which kept happening to me). I had my watch for four years without a problem (aside from getting the battery replaced a few times). I recently had a problem, and their customer support was great. They had it repaired and sent back to me within two weeks and no charge. I've never liked talking watches because they're disruptive in situations like classes or meetings where you want to be quiet. I'll probably never get an apple watch for that reason. But the Bradley solves all my problems with Braille watches, and it's also apparently really cool looking and stylish. Happy to answer other questions about it. In case you're interested in other ideas, I've recently heard of a Braille smart watch called the Dot Watch that sounds pretty cool, but I don't know too much about it beyond the fact that it exists.

Have you checked out the tactile watches from Bradley? They are different than traditional braille watches. There have two small spheres that travel around two circles on the watch. There’s one on the outside, and one surrounding a circle on the inside. One represents the hour, and one represents the minute. You can feel the position of the spheres to get the time. I don’t have one myself, but I know someone who really likes it.

What braille watches do you have, that may be more reliable? Or how do you tell the time? I mean, I guess that you could pull out your phone, but if you're in a meeting that wouldn't be good. I just don't want to get a new watch, then next year have this happen again. > Ian > _______________________________________________ > NABS-L mailing list > NABS-L at nfbnet.org > http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org > To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L: > http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/jrzobek%40gmail.com _______________________________________________ NABS-L mailing list NABS-L at nfbnet.org http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/jameyanne%40gmail.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com From ALewis at nfb.org Fri Jun 21 12:48:10 2019 From: ALewis at nfb.org (Lewis, Anil) Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 12:48:10 +0000 Subject: [NABS-L] Paid Student Feedback Opportunity with McGraw-Hill Education Message-ID: McGraw-Hill Education has been working on accessibility for their online homework programs and would like to gather feedback from college students regarding the usability of online assignments.

Yesterday I came across a blog written by Heather Avis, a Mom from Southern California. She has three adopted children, two of whom have Down Syndrome. Just like the blind community, Heather's daughter Macyn has been excluded from participating in normal everyday activities. As I read this blog, I thought about the many ways that blind people have been excluded from society. I have been rejected from jobs and denied braille menus at restaurants. My family allows me to participate in all of the activities that we do together. In my opinion, when an individual with a disability is excluded from society, their family is also excluded. In one of her blog posts, Heather wrote about a dress rehearsal for a dance recital that her daughter was participating in. During the rehearsal, some of the spots that the girls had to stand in were changed. Just like other individuals with disabilities, Macyn was thrown off when this happened. She must know exactly what is going to happen during an event.   On the day of the rehearsal, Macyn had a difficult time and refused to perform her dance routine. Eventually, the director of the dance studio stepped in, and Macyn still refused to dance. Her Mom took her outside, and they walked around for a while. After they sat down in the audience to watch the other dancers, Macyn decided that she wanted to perform her routine. All of the other girls in Macyn's dance class joined her for the routine, and this brought her Mom and the instructor to tears. This story shows that disabled individuals can be included in society. How have your families worked to include you in society? How can the general public allow us to participate in society? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Yesterday I came across a blog written by Heather Avis, a Mom from Southern California. She has three adopted children, two of whom have Down Syndrome. Just like the blind community, Heather's daughter Macyn has been excluded from participating in normal everyday activities. As I read this blog, I thought about the many ways that blind people have been excluded from society. I have been rejected from jobs and denied braille menus at restaurants. My family allows me to participate in all of the activities that we do together. In my opinion, when an individual with a disability is excluded from society, their family is also excluded. In one of her blog posts, Heather wrote about a dress rehearsal for a dance recital that her daughter was participating in. During the rehearsal, some of the spots that the girls had to stand in were changed. Just like other individuals with disabilities, Macyn was thrown off when this happened. She must know exactly what is going to happen during an event. On the day of the rehearsal, Macyn had a difficult time and refused to perform her dance routine. Eventually, the director of the dance studio stepped in, and Macyn still refused to dance. Her Mom took her outside, and they walked around for a while. After they sat down in the audience to watch the other dancers, Macyn decided that she wanted to perform her routine. All of the other girls in Macyn's dance class joined her for the routine, and this brought her Mom and the instructor to tears. This story shows that disabled individuals can be included in society. How have your families worked to include you in society? How can the general public allow us to participate in society? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

A couple questions the children asked me were how do I eat, and how do I get dressed. A few years later I went to an Elementary school music class to play the guitar for the students. A couple questions I was asked, were how long had I been playing the guitar, and did I go to a music school to learn how to play the guitar. Interestingly enough, that time no student asked me any question relating to my blindness at all. One girl named Korah asked me did I know how to play any bluegrass. When I told her I did, she was very excited when I also told her that I knew of a couple songs with her name in them. I had a lot of fun that day.

The tool that I recommend is the Draftsman from APH. My professors drew circuit schematics for me. I eventually learned how to draw them on my own, and I demonstrated my work in that fashion for homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. I also had to become somewhat familiar with numbers, imaginary numbers, upper case letters, and a few other raised print symbols because I never really found a way to label my schematics in braille on the fly. Fortunately, if the curriculum is only Computer Science, I don't believe complex circuits are something that the student will have to worry about. Also, I would request 1:1 time with my professors if there were drawings that involved more than just the essential raised print symbols I learned. Then, the professor would just emboss Braille labels (since we had access to an embosser) and stick them on the drawings for me to evaluate. The particular courses that might yield some concern in Computer Science because of the drawings are courses on Computer Architecture and Digital Logic. If it's a Computer Science and Engineering curriculum, the student might have to worry more about challenging circuit drawings. If it's a full-fledged electrical Engineering curriculum, there will definitely have to be some planning ahead for what might arise. Not only with circuit drawings, but also with dealing with physical hardware. I hope this was somewhat helpful.

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to advise all of you that in additional to the NFB live streaming options for listening to convention for those who can't attend, which you can find at https://www.nfb.org/livestream we at 195 The Globe are providing additional streaming options for those who would like to listen on a mobile device or smart speaker. What does this mean? It simply means that we are relaying what is broadcast on the English stream to you, so you can hear it on a smart speaker or mobile device of your choice on our music channel. Where we were the main source of coverage last year, this year we're relaying what is brought to you at the Board Of Director's Meeting, the general sessions and banquet. The above nfb.org page has all the main stream links for English and Spanish. So during the times of the board of director's meeting, the general sessions and banquet, you can ask google, alexa or any smart speaker you have to play 195 The Globe on Tunein, and it will work. And yes, Alexa works this time! Grin. In addition, you can search for 195 The Globe on the google play or ITunes stores and download our app for listening purposes, and to see what else we offer in the way of programming. For anyone wanting to use our app, I'll be providing a brief VoiceOver demonstration on The Blind Side's first hour with Chris Nusbaum, which can be heard Tuesday night at 8 PM eastern, then again Thursday morning at 11 AM eastern at http://www.195theglobe.com/listen In addition, a downloadable link to this mp3 demo will be provided to you for those who can't listen. One thing that I will provide for those unable to attend at the beginning of each general session stream is that I will read you the agenda for that particular session before it begins, so you know what's being covered when. Lastly, I'd like to thank President Riccobono and the NFB for allowing the globe to provide this additional resource to you so you have more ways to listen to the happenings in Vegas. What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas now! Please email ddunphy at 195theglobe.com if you have any additional questions/concerns/thoughts.

It was more useful for when I had math my second semester freshman year. However, I still have the accommodation for extra time, and still have it in case I need it.

I often had readers which meant exams took longer, or there were sometimes tech things. Maybe half the exams I've taken (or maybe more) I didn't need it or only needed a few minutes over, but having the accommodation doesn't hurt anything.
