Is this just the audio or does it have the visual as well for the movies?

Hey all,

Audio Vault that Emma mentioned just does audio with no visuals. The file formats for most are in MP3, so watching with sighted people might be a bit of a challenge unless they want to sync up the video through a streaming service. Good luck!

I've got a large described movie collection and it is a lot of fun to
upload several described movies in mp3 format to say dropbox, then add
them to voice dream reader and listen to them on my iPhone.  I usually
listen to audio books from bard or audible, but described movies are
also fun.  Also, guys, don't forget about bookshare as well.  Since
I'm not in college at the moment, I recently renewed my bookshare
membership for $50 and now I have access to bookshare's massive
collection of ebooks.  Again, voice dream reader comes through.  I can
add bookshare books to voice dream reader and listen to them using any
enhanced apple voice, or purchase various acapela, Ivona, or Neospeech
voices. The app is also very easy to use.

Subject: [NABS-L] Register Now! NABS 2020 Walk-A-Thon Link is Live!
Message-ID: <CANGwUJPUbapEwABgQTVTVY35GHXM3c2Pq5xSBigsC+55j7PxnQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hey everyone!
The National Association of Blind Students is proud to announce our 4th
annual NABS Walk-A-Thon! If you support blind students, believe in the
future of blind students, or benefit from our organization, please register
 by visiting:
https://go.rallyup.com/nabs2020
This fun and easy effort will focus on raising funds for our organization,
which provides many resources for blind students, including mentorship,
guidance on success in high school and higher education, sponsoring
attendance at leadership seminars, sending national student leaders to
events to empower  our youth, and so much more.
What are we asking of you? Please join us by participating in this
initiative, just involving walking…something that is routine to most of us!
Each day, our leaders and members are motivated to do more, jump higher,
and reach for the stars to pave the path for future blind students. Come
along for this journey, whether attending 2020 National Convention or not.
See below for details about the event, and contact Kyle Garcia with any
questions (mailto:kgarcia2432 at gmail.com).
When: Thursday, July 16, 2020 from 12:00AM - 11:00PM Central Standard Time.
You can participate anywhere in the world, as long as you are willing to
review your steps at the beginning and end of the day.
How: Participating is as simple as looking at your iPhone Health app or
downloading an app that records steps and convert them into miles walked.
How do you raise pledges? Once signed up by visiting
https://go.rallyup.com/nabs2020
you will be asked to share your page to social media. This post will inform
your friends and family about what you plan to do on July 16 and why you
are doing it. When seeking donations, we encourage pledges of around 5
(five)-10 (ten) dollars per mile, but, of course, any
sponsorships/donations are encouraged and appreciated. Social media is the
outlet to success, so share widely and often!
The best part is that we are not asking you to change your day up or, if at
convention, miss the fun that National Convention provides. Your role is as
simple as sign up, share your page, and then walk!
Oh, and did we mention that the person who raises the most money wins a
CASH prize?!?!
Don’t pass up this exciting and fun opportunity. Register today and show us
all your competitive side.
Thank you so much in advance…let’s go walk!
Elizabeth

Good afternoon,
Does anyone know if national convention is Going to be canceled. I am looking for a room mate. I have a room booked from Wednesday to Sunday. I am not sure if many people are coming because of the virus. I am a temporary employee so I don’t know if my boss will let me take an entire week off. I can ask the hotel if i can extend or i will cancel my room. 
Thanks,

Nothing yet, but I hope a decision is made soon. I would like to see it not canceled altogether but become some kind of virtual convention, or at least have a virtual option for attendance.
Here’s hoping.

Subject: [NABS-L] Interviewers and Interviewees Needed for the It's My Job
 Podcast
Message-ID: <5e854869.1c69fb81.aff6e.aed1@mx.google.com>

Hi Everyone,

I recently received an email from one of the associations for the ACB or American Council for the Blind saying that interviewers and interviewees are needed for the It's My Job Podcast. I don't really know much about it. However, I think it's hosted by Dr. Rebecca M. Sheffield. Basically, she's looking for blind students from kinder through 12th grade who would be interested in interviewing blind people in a wide range of jobs. To find out more about it, you can send a message to Dr. Sheffield at rebeccamsheffield at outlook.com or email askitsmyjob at gmail.com for more information. Please spread the word to those who may be interested in participating in this podcast.

Be well, 
Piper

I understand that there are a lot of people who want convention to go
forward in a virtual way but many of you make it seem like it is so easy to
setup and execute. It would take a lot of manpower, a lot of money, and
with a little less than 3 months, I am not sure if that is possible.

Good very late evening everyone. I strongly believe that if it can be held at all to it must be held in person pursuant to our Constitution and our national Federation of the blind traditions. I sit on the board of one of the divisions we have business to transact the summer. I also believe it is important to have at all possible spend time with our friends across this country. While a virtual convention sounds like a wonderful idea I doubt that it would be possible to pull off with 3000 people. In other words if at all possible keep it real that’s my line.

Your friend in the national Federation of the blind Maurice Mines.

I understand that there are a lot of people who want convention to go forward in a virtual way but many of you make it seem like it is so easy to setup and execute. It would take a lot of manpower, a lot of money, and with a little less than 3 months, I am not sure if that is possible.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


March 30, 2020

Stuck at home?  Let's Go Shopping!  Attend this online event that 
brings together small businesses and the customers who need them.


Henderson, NV - Laura Legendary, owner of Elegant Insights Braille 
Creations, has organized an all-day, online accessible experience for 
seniors and consumers with disabilities called "Let's Go 
Shopping!"  On Saturday, April 4th, from 7 AM PT to 7 PM PT, shoppers 
will be able to call or connect to the Zoom platform to shop for 
gifts for Easter, Passover, Mother's Day, graduations, or any 
upcoming gift-giving occasion.  With millions of people in 
self-isolation, getting out to shop is all but impossible for those 
with limited mobility.

People with disabilities, seniors, and those in rural areas with 
limited bandwidth or lack of access to help from their children, 
in-home health care provider, or personal assistant may find 
navigating web sites to go shopping online difficult.  "People with 
print or cognitive disabilities who would normally have access to 
assistive technology through their workplace, or a care worker who 
they rely on to accomplish shopping tasks may now find themselves cut 
off, thanks to the need to remain at home.  As a result, they may 
find online shopping to be cognitively burdensome," says 
Legendary.  "My goal with the Let's Go Shopping event was two-fold: 
Not only to give micro businesses a boost, but to bring a virtual 
shopping mall to customers," says Legendary, who is blind. "Besides, 
we could all use a little retail therapy about now."

Attendees will access the live online mall using the Zoom Video 
Conferencing platform.  Zoom has been a lifesaver for students and 
parents who need to connect with teachers and colleagues.  Zoom 
enables users to sign in using a desktop, laptop, smartphone app, or 
even their landline telephone.  Brent Harbolt, of The Harbolt 
Company, one of the participating vendors, has donated the Zoom room 
for the event.  "Let's Go Shopping is an opportunity for me to reach 
new customers who are looking for gadgets to make their life a little 
easier, provide product descriptions, and directly answer people's 
questions in real time," says Harbolt.

All of the small business owners participating in the "Let's Go 
Shopping" event have a disability.  Vendors include A T Guys, Patti 
and Ricky, GuideLights and Gadgets Inc., Elegant Insights Braille 
Creations, Hartgen Consultancy, and more.  Shoppers will be able to 
purchase artisan crafted dolls, home fragrance and beauty products, 
independent living aids, adaptive apparel and accessories, ceramics, 
and braille jewelry.

Elegant Insights Braille Creations is a distinctive, handcrafted 
collection of jewelry and accessories, made in the USA, and embossed 
in braille.  Founded in 2011 by Laura Legendary, Elegant Insights 
jewelry is meaningful, unusual, accessible, and inclusive.  We bring 
out the beauty of braille.

Of course I hope that we have the regular convention, but at this point, they should start at least making plans to have a virtual convention, it could get to the point where it’s too late and then they don’t have anything planned and then we have no convention. They have to have some forethought into this.

Good afternoon NABS family,

 

During these trying times and added moments of anxiety, boredom, or too much stress, we must appreciate what we do have. Not to sound too cliché, but we’ve got a family right here. To that end, the NABS Board is excited to announce our weekly Zoom chats on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays…EVERY SINGLE WEEK UNTIL THE END OF MAY!!! Think book club, free yoga, chill nights, and so much more! Exciting, right? Read on…

Hi, this is Maura. I'd be happy to get involved and help you guys out. Hannah, I would be happy to be an amateur  interpreter if you would like that. I know braille well and can keep up with conversations pretty easily. Please let me know privately through this email address if you'd be all right with it.

Hi Kathryn,
I think this is a great idea, with most of us, if not all, being at home due to the pandemic. it gives us something to do and a way to stay connected with one another when not busy with schoolwork.

> As we all work on ways to isolate, one concern is how we as blind persons can safely grocery shop while maintaining social distancing. There are a number of options available for those who are skilled with technology, such as online delivery from Smiths or Sprouts, or using apps such as Instacart or Postmates.  However, not everyone is comfortable using such technology. One long-time Federation member today alerted me to another option, specifically GoGoGroceries.

> GoGoGroceries is available from GoGoGrandparent, the ride sharing service that connects riders with Uber and Lyft through a regular telephone. While GoGoGroceries is more expensive, it is an option for those who are unable to order online or through a smartphone. You also do not need to be a grandparent. Tonia and I have signed up for GoGoGrandparent just in case our smartphones were ever forgotten, lost, or stolen. I have used GoGoGrandparent once, and it works well.

Message-ID: <CAMZTybcPL0N=FbqRWbH6w2ria_ZqAxyrjGJOVCEUPMO=WDUhqA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,
   My name is Lizzy and I am a high school senior who is legally blind. Due
to our current situation, all of my classes have moved online with daily
assignments. As I begin using my computer more and more I am realizing that
I should probably be using a magnification software or screen reader to
make it easier to access and not have to bend over and look so closely. I
am aware that Freedom Scientific is providing home licenses for their three
Softwares. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations on any of these
Softwares for a low vision user? I have some experience with ZoomText, but
was wondering if anyone had insight on Fusion if it was better or worse for
a low vision user or if anyone had good resources on how to best use either
of these Softwares. I have shied away from them because I haven't been able
to figure out how to use them fluidly to benefit me in the classroom.
Thank you,
Lizzy

Hi Emma,
    That’s great that your interested in Braille! I am also working on increasing my Braille skills. A great resource is the Hadley School for the Blind. They provide braille lessons from finger sensitivity all the way through contracted braille. Here is the link to their class page. https://hadley.edu/showCourseListing.asp?program=ACE
There are multiple lessons in each class. With exercises to explain and go over the material and then an assignment to send in the mail with a reading and writing portion. It’s a great program and its free.
I hope this helps,
Lizzy

Hi Emma,

I've been using braille since grade school. If you need any tips or have questions about braille, feel free to write to me. My email address is plangkau4 at gmail.com  Besides the Hadley School for the Blind, another resource that you can try is Braille Bug from the American Foundation for the Blind or AFB. Besides learning about the braille alphabet, there are also interactive games on the site that teach you how to spell words and write numbers in braille. As you play the games, there is a braille alphabet chart at the bottom of each game page that give you dot combinations for letters, numbers, and so on in case you need to refer to a cheat sheet. In these kinds of games, that's perfectly okay to do. A cool thing I like about it is that whenever you submit your game answer, Braille Bug will tell you by audio whether or not you got the answer right. If you get an answer right, you move on to the next question or level. If not, she tells you to try again. Let me know if you want more information or tips. I hope you find this suggestion useful.

Best, 
Piper

Subject: [NABS-L] Computer software for low vision users

Hi Everyone,
  My name is Lizzy and I am a high school senior who is legally blind. Due
to our current situation, all of my classes have moved online with daily
assignments. As I begin using my computer more and more I am realizing that
I should probably be using a magnification software or screen reader to
make it easier to access and not have to bend over and look so closely. I
am aware that Freedom Scientific is providing home licenses for their three
Softwares. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations on any of these
Softwares for a low vision user? I have some experience with ZoomText, but
was wondering if anyone had insight on Fusion if it was better or worse for
a low vision user or if anyone had good resources on how to best use either
of these Softwares. I have shied away from them because I haven't been able
to figure out how to use them fluidly to benefit me in the classroom.
Thank you,
Lizzy

Hi,I apologize...I am not sure why when I sent the message that it put my name, NIcole, as part of the link.  I am again pasting the link below but am not going to put my name afterwards, so as to not have the same issue again.

Are you a PC or MAC user at home? If you are a Mac user the magnifier app built into Mac OS is perfectly serviceable for the majority of tasks for myself. Zoom text and other packages also can work well if you have the proper computer specs.

Hi,
This likely means that your authorization has ran out. Is your JAWS 
authorized? Otherwise it runs for 40 minutes before it stops.

Thanks,

Hi Lizzy,

If you have a Windows computer then there are two screen readers that you
can use namely
NVDA (free) / JAWS free till June 30th. If you have a MacOS then you can
use Voice Over that's
Apple pre-installed screen reader.
For Windows screen reader make sure that your system has either 4 GB of RAM
or more so that there is no lag.
All screen readers are fairly compatible. So with the one that you feel
most comfortable with.

Pramit

  Good evening students! This is Adriana again with another question
regarding Braille Displays and computers.
  I have a Braille Trail Reader from APH, and I'd like to pair it to my
computer. I do know that I need a USB cord, and I need to download a
specific software. Can anyone please tell me what I can do to pair it?
Thank you in advance!
Have a blessed evening!

Two questions here, who makes this display? If it’s one of the major display manufacturers you can go to their website and download the drivers depending on what operating system you have, Windows, Mac, or Linux.

The methods of pairing your display to the computer will also vary by which version of Windows you are using. And what the software to your display will allow.
 Finally, what screen meeting program are you using? Is it JAWS for Windows, or is it Nvda, or is it a program not being mentioned here.

Based on your answers we can figure out how best to give you suggestions on the way forward.

 Hello, now I understand what your predicament is better. It appears that the software to your device is proprietary. Here’s what I suggest one since your software is proprietary there’s no guarantee that it will work with JAWS. So you may have to contact Vaspra  technical support. Or help on this one. Because I’m not sure that that display is listed in their displays that they support. The same would be true if you  use Nvda. The other strong suggestion here is to read the manual that comes with this device. While reading the manual take note of any special instructions that are in the manual regarding Bluetooth pairing, and compatibility with mainstream screen reading software for Microsoft Windows. I hope this helps?

  The information was very helpful thank you. So I’d have to contact the company? know that the Humanware Brailliant is listed under the compatible Braille displays. Since I also happen to have one of those, (but I honestly prefer my Braille Trail Reader), what can I do in order to pair the Brailliant?  

Thank you,

Adriana,

Great to see you on this list! I dug around the web and haven’t found any direct download links from APH directly for APH’s braille Trail but it’s highly likely that JAWS already may have support for this display built right in. Head to Braille under options menu within JAWS,, >> add braille display and try looking under there to see if you see any APH products listed. 
Did the display happen to come with any USB flash drive or CD? Those tend to contain appropriate screen-reader drivers for the display. I’m happy to do more searching and point you to the right direction. If you need further help feel free to reach me off list! :)

Take care,
Seyoon

Good morning students,

 

It is with a heavy heart that I share the below announcement. While we won’t be in-person together this year, it gives us that much more of a reach in bringing as many blind students to our virtual events this summer than ever before. Our national student leadership stands by our national leadership in recognizing this is the safest course of action for the health and security of our members and non-members alike. It also gives us a unique opportunity to spread the love of our organization to new heights, stripping financial implications and other barriers of in-person attendance.

 

Rest assured, NABS leadership is actively planning how we can make these virtual opportunities as interactive, fun, engaging, and energizing as our in-person festivities!

 

So much more information to come, but do reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas on how we can make the NABS 2020 components of our national convention as invigorating as always!

 

Love,

Kathryn Webster, President

> Week 1 – Thursday, April 16: Small great things-Jodi Piccoult
>                 Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years' experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she's been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don't want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?
> Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy's counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other's trust, and come to see that what they've been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.
> With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn't offer easy answers. Small Great Things is a remarkable achievement from a writer at the top of her game.
>  
>  
> Week 2 – Thursday, April 23: The Glass Castle-Jeannette Walls
>                 A tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave the author the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
> Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.
> Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town -- and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.
> What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
>  
> For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story.
>  
>  
> Week 3 – Thursday, April 30: Little Fires Everywhere-Celeste NG
>                 In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned--from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
> Enter Mia Warren--an enigmatic artist and single mother--who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
> When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town--and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
> Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood--and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
>  
>  
> Week 4 – Thursday, May 7: Lock In-John Scalzi
>                 Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
> A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome," rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" - someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.
> But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery - and the real crime - is bigger than anyone could have imagined. The world of the locked in is changing, and with the change comes opportunities that the ambitious will seize at any cost. The investigation that began as a murder case takes Shane and Vann from the halls of corporate power to the virtual spaces of the locked in, and to the very heart of an emerging, surprising new human culture. It's nothing you could have expected.

> Week 5 – Thursday, May 14: Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood- Trevor Noah
>                 The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime New York Times bestseller about one man’s coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.
>  
> Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
> Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
> The eighteen personal essays collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

>                 The incredible life story of Haben Girma, the first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, and her amazing journey from isolation to the world stage.
> Haben grew up spending summers with her family in the enchanting Eritrean city of Asmara. There, she discovered courage as she faced off against a bull she couldn't see, and found in herself an abiding strength as she absorbed her parents' harrowing experiences during Eritrea's thirty-year war with Ethiopia. Their refugee story inspired her to embark on a quest for knowledge, traveling the world in search of the secret to belonging. She explored numerous fascinating places, including Mali, where she helped build a school under the scorching Saharan sun. Her many adventures over the years range from the hair-raising to the hilarious.
> Haben defines disability as an opportunity for innovation. She learned non-visual techniques for everything from dancing salsa to handling an electric saw. She developed a text-to-braille communication system that created an exciting new way to connect with people. Haben pioneered her way through obstacles, graduated from Harvard Law, and now uses her talents to advocate for people with disabilities.
> HABEN takes readers through a thrilling game of blind hide-and-seek in Louisiana, a treacherous climb up an iceberg in Alaska, and a magical moment with President Obama at The White House. Warm, funny, thoughtful, and uplifting, this captivating memoir is a testament to one woman's determination to find the keys to connection.

> Week 1 – Thursday, April 16: Small great things-Jodi Piccoult
>                 Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years' experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she's been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don't want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?
> Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy's counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other's trust, and come to see that what they've been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.
> With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn't offer easy answers. Small Great Things is a remarkable achievement from a writer at the top of her game.
>  
>  
> Week 2 – Thursday, April 23: The Glass Castle-Jeannette Walls
>                 A tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that, despite its profound flaws, gave the author the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
> Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.
> Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town -- and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.
> What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
>  
> For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story.
>  
>  
> Week 3 – Thursday, April 30: Little Fires Everywhere-Celeste NG
>                 In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned--from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
> Enter Mia Warren--an enigmatic artist and single mother--who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
> When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town--and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
> Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood--and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
>  
>  
> Week 4 – Thursday, May 7: Lock In-John Scalzi
>                 Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
> A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome," rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" - someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.
> But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery - and the real crime - is bigger than anyone could have imagined. The world of the locked in is changing, and with the change comes opportunities that the ambitious will seize at any cost. The investigation that began as a murder case takes Shane and Vann from the halls of corporate power to the virtual spaces of the locked in, and to the very heart of an emerging, surprising new human culture. It's nothing you could have expected.
>  
>  
> Week 5 – Thursday, May 14: Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood- Trevor Noah
>                 The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime New York Times bestseller about one man’s coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.
>  
> Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
> Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
> The eighteen personal essays collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

> Week 6 – Thursday, May 14: Speak-Laurie Halse Anderson
>                 The first ten lies they tell you in high school.

> From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school.

Fellow blind students,

I got something published with an online news service called the Daily Kos. It's about the accessibility issues that blind college students are facing with online instruction due to the pandemic.

Here it is:

Hey Adriana!

Apple changed the landing page to go directly to the Windows Store for
iTunes, but I personally don't think it integrates well. Here's a direct
link to the iTunes for Windows .exe file.

https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64

Hope this helps!

Message-ID: <SN6PR03MB4447E016F90C43CC8DBF2208BAD20@SN6PR03MB4447.namprd03.prod.outlook.com>

Hello All,

I am not always the best when it comes to technology. And I have very little experience using any of the Google applications.

I recently received an email from someone who wants to send me a google hangout calendar invite to talk with me. However, I am not quite sure what this process looks like or how accessible or user friendly this might be for me.

So can anyone help explain how Google Hangouts or Google Meetings work so I can participate in my conversation with this person? Is this a platform similar to Zoon where you can simply dial into a meeting with a phone? Or is it better to use an app on my iphone or computer? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

If a person you are planning on connecting with has your contact info, such as your email address, you’ll likely receive an invitation which includes a calendar invite to join the google hangout. Most email clients will automatically input any calendar invitations, and any relevant details, such as an instruction to join the meeting are within the invitation itself. What are you c currently working with, your device, email program?

Hope this helps!

Take care

Hi Elizabeth:

Google Meet is certainly not an ideal platform from an accessibility
platform, and I really wish the person you are meeting with had chosen to
use Zoom. Unfortunately, my college is firmly entrenched in the Google
universe, so at times I also have to use Google Meet and do the best I can
with what I have.

>From my experience, your best bet is to download the Google Meet app on your
iPhone. When you get the invitation, there will be a direct link you can
click on which will open the app and take you into the meeting. Note that
the app has a bug which causes VoiceOver to talk through the earpiece rather
than the speaker, so you have to put the phone to your ear to hear it. From
the screen you land on when you click on the direct link, you have to double
tap on "join meeting," at which point you will be in. As you might imagine,
the easiest way to get into a meeting is to open the email on your phone.
Otherwise, you will have to write down the meeting ID and enter it manually
into the app.

To answer your second question, there is a way to dial in on the phone as
you would with a traditional conference call. The phone number and meeting
pin will also be in the invitation you get, so you will have to write down
that information and dial it in. Unfortunately, Google Meet doesn't have the
"one-tap mobile" option that Zoom has--one of the many advantages Zoom has
over Google Meet. I hope this helps you get started.

Stay safe!

Chris

Hello family,
I want to make this short, but I want to explain the issue properly, so please read carefully :-)

I was able to get a part-time job as a consecutive interpreter on the phone. Here's the problem. I do not use braille, I can only type on my computer using voice over. Typing notes while using voice over and while you're on the phone is very difficult.
The notes must be very brief because the interpretation is consecutive and quick. Voiceover cannot be overheard on the phone because that's unprofessional, and I cannot type quickly enough and then go back over the sentence so that my computer would read the note for me to remember the smaller details and then make the interpretation. The company wants me because I am perfectly fluent in both languages that they need, so they are hanging on to me. I've already failed one assessment because of this issue. I have another assessment in three weeks. Can anybody help? Can anyone give me any pointers on how to take brief notes using voice over without losing my mind? Does anyone have any experience doing this?
Blessings

Hello Ayoub,

I use JAWS as my screen reader, but I am sure these suggestions should work for Voice Over on a MAC computer as well.

First, if you are not already using a headset for the phone, then I would suggest using one. This would allow you to use the computer more freely as you are typing.

Second, there should be options as to how the computer announces things as you type them. In JAWS you can select an option that allows you to hear the characters, words, character and words, or none as you are typing on the computer. Perhaps you can adjust these options to see what works best for your situation.

Finally, practice typing things as you are listening to them in real time. There are countless things you can find online. Or something as simple an audio book could work. I would suggest starting with something that is familiar to you and then progressing to something similar to what you would be doing for the job.

Lerning new skills and adopting to change can sometimes be challenging. But a little hard work, creative problem solving, and practicing a new skill are all things that can be done in any situation.

I hope you can find a strategy for success that works for you.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Subject: [NABS-L] Your advice and expertise is deeply appreciated

Hello family,
I want to make this short, but I want to explain the issue properly, so please read carefully :-)

I was able to get a part-time job as a consecutive interpreter on the phone. Here's the problem. I do not use braille, I can only type on my computer using voice over. Typing notes while using voice over and while you're on the phone is very difficult.
The notes must be very brief because the interpretation is consecutive and quick. Voiceover cannot be overheard on the phone because that's unprofessional, and I cannot type quickly enough and then go back over the sentence so that my computer would read the note for me to remember the smaller details and then make the interpretation. The company wants me because I am perfectly fluent in both languages that they need, so they are hanging on to me. I've already failed one assessment because of this issue. I have another assessment in three weeks. Can anybody help? Can anyone give me any pointers on how to take brief notes using voice over without losing my mind? Does anyone have any experience doing this?
Blessings

Hi Andrew,

I have a Fire stick and it's very accessible. The benefit of going
with Amazon is not being tied down to Apple's ecosystem of apps and
services. If you have other devices connected via HDMI you can switch
to them with Alexa after setting it up. Hope this helps.

HI  Elizabeth,

You can simply copy the meeting link and paste it into a new tab on the

Also make sure that your email is opened that has the meeting link.
You can also connect through your phone and download the Hangouts Meet

I am wondering when is it a good time to disclose my disability.
I am starting an internship this summer and have been exchanging emails

I am wondering does anyone have any advise in how/when to go about this?

Hi Haoran thanks for your message. My name is Roanna Bacchus, and I am totally blind. When I had my two internships during college, I disclosed my blindness during the interview process. You can either disclose your disability in the form of a letter or simply state what accommodations you will need to do your job. I would recommend that you bring any assistive technology that you use to your interview, and to the internship. Be as open and honest as possible about your needs.

Sincerely,

Roanna Bacchus

Hi. Able to login into the cisco forums. But when I try to post, a topic,
they have a stupid select a board link, then a mouse over tree view / combo
box. So how to then select that with jaws, or nvda. Not able to post, keeps
telling me to select a board to continue.

Any one come across this one and how to fix.

Not able to post a topic. Have tried jaws, nvda, windows narrator, tried
chrome, edge, ie, firefox and the same or similar issues when I login. Have
notified cisco, and the forums, see if they will fix this issue if not, how
to get them to make this more accessible. One of the more serious or poor
combo box issues with a form or a forum.

Subject: [NABS-L] Food for Thought: How to Articulate NFB Philosophy to a
 Younger Audience
Message-ID: <00cd01d61c69$cfe232e0$6fa698a0$@comcast.net>

Something has been bothering me lately, but it's not the Corona Virus.

 

To start off, I'm very pleased to see what the Student division has done.
I've noticed your Nabs Now podcast, and I appreciate how you've done an
excellent job of speaking to college students and young professionals. While
I'm no longer a student, I appreciate those of you who are producing the
podcast. Most students today are likely to use You Tube or a podcast to find
answers to their questions, and you've raised questions that students need
to address. Your last podcast on STEM really is an encouragement to any
college student dealing with math and science, and your tips on dressing
professionally could benefit anyone.

 

So here's what's bothering me.

 

Some years back, there was an attempt to write an issue of our Parents
division magazine aimed directly at elementary, middle and high school
students. I didn't discover it until later, and while I thought it did a
good job,it was a one-time thing.

 

Since that issue, times have changed, which leads me to wonder if it's time
to revisit this idea. While most of you are college students, I'd hate for
elementary to high school students to be left out.

 

I also recognize that many children's titles that deal with blindness are a
mixed bag. Most have some good points, but since they're fiction, it's easy
for the old stereotypes to sneak in. Plus, with the advent of new
technology, some can date quickly.

 

The only children's book I've seen that doesn't give in to the old
stereotypes is Running with Roszel, written by Michael Hingson and a
co-author. Some dialog is fictionalized, but the story at its core is on
target when it comes to blineness. That book is the exception when it comes
to children's books.

 

I still enjoy our kernel books and anything our organization puts out, and I
believe parents and kids can, and do, read them.

 

But I'm also troubled by a trend I sometimes see in other fields: the need
to write literature that is directly aimed at kids, or that makes heavy
adult content "kid friendly," by trying to adapt adult concepts and explain
them in ways kids can understand. I'm not talking about sexual content here,
but just concepts that can be explained to an adult audience, but may be a
challenge to explain to a younger audience unless the writer can do it in
ways kids can relate to.

 

But I have mixed feelings about this, since I know that if you deliberately
aim low, kids won't be challenged, but you also don't want to go over the
heads of a young audience. My research shows that any author who writes
something "just for kids," with no adult interest, fails.

 

I also recognize that kids need to hear how their peers are helping each
other to believe in our message and apply it.

 

Not long ago, I happened on The Dream Big podcast at

 

www.dreambigpodcast.com <http://www.dreambigpodcast.com> 

 

The young host started this show because her parents often shared
motivational podcasts while the family commuted to and from school. She was
concerned that while the messages were OK, the hosts were targeting adults,
not children. She asked her parents if there were any podcasts on personal
growth and self development that were targeted for kids, but they found
nothing. She started her own, and it's been going strong since October of
2016.

 

While her main audience is children, adults, too, enjoy it. I believe she
has it right, since the host challenges both children and adults to dream
big.

 

So here's my burning question. Is it time for our organization to model what
this young host did: create media targeted to a young audience, but that can
also be enjoyed by adults?

 

I realize this can be a challenge, but I also realize that our philosophy
needs to be presented by fresh voices. I like the idea of podcasts and/or
You Tube videos because most young people might view or listen to a video or
podcast, but depending on their age, they might or might not read an
article.

 

I also recognize that this can complement and re-inforce what students learn
at our BELL Academies or at our programs that teach science nonvisually. I
also view them as one additional tool to reach our young people, and as a
complement to our other publications and direct mentoring.

 

So is there really a need in our organization for such targeted media for a
younger audience? Is there really a gap here? If there is, how can we start
to fill it? If not, is there something going on that I don't know about that
may already be filling this gap? I may be totally off base here, but that's
OK. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi Cricket,

Would you please get this out to all of your members. I think they'll
enjoy the experience.

Our Summer Experience Camp 2020 is Going Virtual!
A Free Program at Leader Dogs for the Blind

We are going virtual with our free camp experience this summer! With
camper safety in mind, we have cancelled our traditional Summer
Experience Camp for 2020. Going virtual allows us to open camp to
teens 14 and 15 years old in addition to our standard ages of 16 and
17 years old. Many aspects of our camp adapt well to this platform,
including exploring mobility options like guide dog travel, building
leadership skills and relationships with peers. Camp dates are

Subject: [NABS-L] Getting Involved and Violin Performance
Message-ID: <5eab079a.1c69fb81.2b6d4.18c4@mx.google.com>

Hi all, 
  My name is Julia LaGrand and I am a high school sophomore from Michigan. I joined this list about a month ago on the recommendation of a friend/mentor, and am wondering about how I can get more information about NABS and get more involved. Besides a brief exposure several years ago, I haven't done anything NFB or NABS related, and don't know a ton about either. 
  Also, I am wondering if there are any current or former college students on this list who are majoring or have majored in  music performance. I am a serious violinist and I intend to study in college, but I have a lot of questions about how best to do this as a blind individual, and would love to get in contact with someone who has already gone down this road. 
Thank you so much,
Julia LaGrand

Hi Julia:

Welcome to the NABS list! I'm so excited to hear that you want to learn more about the NFB and get involved with NABS. If you want to find a way to get involved in the student division, I would recommend contacting your state's student division president. I knew who the Michigan student division's president was while I was on the NABS Board, but I'm not sure if he still holds that office. If you go to www.nabslink.org, you can find contact information for your student division president as well as your state affiliate president, either of whom can get you connected and help you find a place to get involved.

I'm also very excited to see another fellow musician on this list! We have plenty of musicians in the Federation, some of whom have studied music in college. I'm a music minor, but my emphasis is in vocal performance, so that might not help you much as a violinist. However, Leslie Hamric, a Board member of our Performing Arts Division, is a professional cellist and violinist who studied at the Eastman School of Music in Illinois. She also teaches private lessons remotely, so she would probably be a great person for you to contact. Please email me off-list at cnusbaumnfb at gmail.com if you are interested, and I'll connect the two of you. I would also suggest checking out our Performing Arts Division and joining the Perform-talk and/or Music Talk lists, both of which can be found at nfbnet.org.

I hope these resources help you. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions or if there is anything I can do to help. Again, welcome to the Federation! 

Chris Nusbaum
