Since we began working on this topic more than ten years ago, our position on this legislation has evolved. As you know, reliance on technology is not limited to just colleges and universities, it has spread into the greater public sphere. This is a fact that was made all the more clear during the pandemic when the use of websites and software became an everyday part of life to attend courses, communicate with classmates, stay connected with family, friends, employers, doctors, and communities in general. For that reason, we have chosen to shift our focus and support to the recently introduced Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act (S. 4998/H.R. 9021). Like with AIM High, the National Association of Blind Students will play a key role in gaining greater support for these bills. We need your help by building the support in Congress for this legislation in the final months of the current Congress (117th) and in the upcoming 118th Congress. We believe the Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act examines the issue of accessibility in a stronger way than the previous version of AIM High in the 116th Congress. The National Federation of the Blind was contacted by Senator Elizabeth Warren's office a few months ago regarding the reintroduction of AIM High. The text would have, as we understood it, very few and minor edits from the 2019 version. Senator Warren's education staffer began reaching out to the various organizations who originally collaborated with the National Federation of the Blind to see what our positions on the bill were. Because of our focus shift to the more comprehensive and all-encompassing Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act, the National Federation of the Blind has decided to remain neutral if Senator Warren does introduce AIM High again. This means we will not oppose AIM High, but we will not actively advocate for it either. As previously mentioned, we believe the Websites and Software Applications Act is a stronger way to accomplish the goals of AIM High, and we are hoping other organizations will support S. 4998/H.R. 9021. We greatly appreciate the work that NABS has and will continue to do on gaining support for the legislative priorities of the Federation! Justin T.

Bob has a brother named Buck. In contrast to the Russells' upper middle class lifestyle, Buck lives in a small apartment in Wrigleyville, drinks, smokes cigars, earns his living by betting on rigged horse races, and drives a dilapidated 1977 Mercury. Buck also finds himself at odds with his girlfriend of eight years, Chanice. She wants to get married and start a family, but Buck is reluctant to do so as he loves his lifestyle. To quell her dissatisfaction, Buck has grudgingly accepted a new job at her tire shop. At 12:02 AM, the family receives a phone call from Cindy's aunt in Indianapolis informing them that her father has had a heart attack. They make plans to leave immediately to be with him. After hearing the news, Tia, bitter about being forced to move, accuses Cindy of abandoning her father. Bob suggests asking Buck to come and watch the children, to which Cindy objects as she considers Buck a bad influence and a failure. Cindy suggests asking their neighbors the Nevilles for help instead while also shooting down the idea of their neighbor Marcie watching them, but Bob finds they are holidaying in Florida. Buck cheerfully accepts the job when Bob calls him. When he informs Chanice that he cannot start his job yet due to the family emergency, Chanice assumes Buck is trying as usual to lie his way out of working. Upon arriving, Buck deals with Cindy's cold demeanor towards him and finds himself cropped out of Bob and Cindy's wedding picture. Nevertheless, he quickly befriends Miles and Maizy, but Tia is brash and hostile as they engage in a battle of wills. When Buck meets Tia's cocky obnoxious boyfriend Bug, he warns her that Bug is only interested in her for sex and repeatedly thwarts her plans to sneak away on dates with him. Over the next several days, he deals with several situations in comedic fashion, including taking the kids to his favourite bowling alley, making enormous pancakes for Miles' birthday, removing the drunk Pooter the Clown from the property, berating assistant principal Anita Hoargarth about Maizy's behavior in class, and handling the laundry when the washing machine does not work. Eventually, Tia exacts revenge on Buck for meddling in her relationship by tricking Chanice into thinking that Buck is cheating on her with Marcie. The next day, Chanice comes over to confront Buck about what she heard, but is furious to find Buck dancing with Marcie in the living room. Chanice leaves him. The following weekend, concerned after Tia sneaks out to a party, Buck decides to go looking for her rather than attend a horse race which would have provided him with enough money for the entire following year. He calls and begs Chanice to watch Miles and Maizy as he searches for Tia. At the party, thinking that Bug is taking advantage of her in a bedroom, he forces the door open by drilling out the lock, but walks in on Bug forcing himself on another girl. After he finds Tia wandering the streets, she tearfully apologizes to him and acknowledges he was right about Bug. Buck then reveals Bug, bound and gagged with duct tape, in the trunk of his car. After intimidating him, Buck lets Bug out of the trunk to apologize to her. When Bug is finally released, he threatens to sue Buck and retracts his apology, but flees in fear after Buck strikes him with a golf ball. At home, Tia helps Buck reconcile with Chanice by admitting her lie and tells Chanice that Buck would be a good husband and father. Buck also agrees to start his job at the garage, and he and Chanice reunite. Cindy's father recovers and she and Bob return home from Indianapolis. Upon entering the house, Tia surprises her mother with a hug. The entire Russell family says farewell to Buck and Chanice as they leave for Chicago, with Buck and Tia exchanging a loving wave goodbye.

It Chapter 2 Twenty-seven years after its initial defeat, Pennywise returns to Derry, Maine in 2016, and kills a man named Adrian Mellon by biting his heart out after he and his boyfriend are brutally assaulted in a hate crime by locals after visiting a carnival. Mike Hanlon, the only member of the Losers Club who remained in Derry, calls the other members, Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris to honor the promise they made 27 years earlier to kill Pennywise if he came back. All of them return to Derry, except for Stanley, who kills himself out of fear of the creature. At a Chinese restaurant, Mike refreshes the Losers' memories before Pennywise itself reveals the news of Stanley's suicide to them. Richie and Eddie decide to leave until Beverly reveals that she has had psychic visions of their deaths should they fail to fulfil their oath. Meanwhile, It kills a young girl named Victoria at a baseball game after luring her into a trap. Mike shows Bill, via a drug-induced vision, that the Native American "Ritual of Chüd" can stop It for good. Mike explains that the ritual requires items from their past to be sacrificed. Bill goes to the storm drain where Georgie was killed and recovers his paper sailboat. Beverly retrieves Ben’s love letter from her childhood home before being attacked by It in the form of a demonic elderly woman named Mrs. Kersh. Richie goes to an abandoned arcade where he finds a game token and encounters Pennywise, who confronts him on his hidden homosexuality. Ben returns to the town’s high school, while Eddie recovers an inhaler from a pharmacy and is attacked by the Leper. Meanwhile, Henry Bowers, who was arrested for killing his father, is freed from a mental hospital by It. Bowers viciously attacks Eddie at the Losers’ hotel, before attacking Mike at the library; Henry nearly kills Mike, but Richie kills him before he has the chance. The Losers then rejoin Bill—who just failed to save a young boy named Dean from being eaten by It—at the Neibolt House, and talk him out of facing It alone. With their memories now fully restored, the group descends into a cavern beneath the sewers, with Mike providing a rock from the Losers' fight with the Bowers Gang as they perform the ritual in the remains of the meteor that brought It to Earth. The ritual traps the Deadlights, It's true form, in a sealing jar, but a giant red balloon emerges from the jar, and explodes, revealing It as a giant Pennywise-spider hybrid. The creature pressures Mike into revealing that It killed the Natives originally performing the ritual because their fears overtook them, a fact Mike had hidden from the Losers. It attacks the Losers and places Bill, Ben, and Beverly in individual traps, which they escape once Bill releases his guilt over being indirectly responsible for Georgie’s death, and when Beverly realizes Ben was the one who wrote the love letter to her. Mike stands up to the creature, only to almost get eaten, but Richie manages to distract It, getting caught in It's Deadlights in the process. Eddie saves him, but is fatally impaled. After Eddie explains how he made It feel small earlier, the Losers confront Pennywise on how they’ve overcome their fears, and are no longer scared of the entity, causing It to shrink. Mike rips out It's heart, which he and the Losers crush with their bare hands, finally killing It. Richie and the others rush to see Eddie but find out he has died from his injuries. The Losers are forced to leave Eddie's body, while It's cavern implodes, destroying the Neibolt House. The remaining Losers return to their old swimming area and wash off from their confrontation with It, and join hands to comfort Richie as he mourns for Eddie. It's demise has also caused the scars on their hands to disappear. After the Losers part ways, Ben and Beverly get married, Richie returns to the kissing bridge where he had once carved his and Eddie's initials, Mike decides to move out of Derry and start a new life, and Bill begins writing his new story before receiving a call from Mike as he leaves Derry, learning that Stanley sent them all posthumous letters. The letters reveal that Stanley was too scared to face It, and that his suicide was intended to strengthen his friends against It. He asks the remaining Losers to "live life to the fullest potential," as a red balloon floats in the sky in the background. Cast Jessica Chastain as Beverly "Bev" Marsh: The only female member of the Losers Club, who was abused physically and sexually by her father and bullied at school over false rumors of promiscuity. Beverly has become a successful fashion designer in New York City while enduring an abusive marriage to Tom Rogan but later divorces him and marries Ben. Sophia Lillis as Young Beverly Marsh James McAvoy as William "Bill" Denbrough: The resourcefully determined former leader of the Losers Club who hunted down and defeated It in the summer of 1989. (Bill was primarily motivated by vengeance, because It killed and ate his younger brother, Georgie.) He swore that he and the other Losers would return to Derry if It resurfaced. As an adult, Bill is a successful mystery novelist in Los Angeles whose works are often criticized for having the same lame endings. Jaeden Martell as Young Bill Denbrough Bill Hader as Richard "Richie" Tozier: Bill's bespectacled best friend and fellow member of the Losers Club, whose loud mouth and foul language often get him into trouble, who also has secret romantic feelings for Eddie. As an adult, Richie becomes a successful stand-up comic in Chicago. Finn Wolfhard as Young Richie Tozier Isaiah Mustafa as Michael "Mike" Hanlon: A member of the Losers Club who fought against It. As an adult, Mike is the only one to stay in Derry and becomes the town librarian. The only one who remembers everything that happened in the previous film, he summons the other Losers back to Derry when It resurfaces. Chosen Jacobs as Young Mike Hanlon Tristian Levi Cox and Torian Matthew Cox as 4-year-old Mike Hanlon Jay Ryan as Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom: A member of the Losers Club who fought against It, was bullied as a child for being overweight and had a crush on Beverly. As an adult, he is an attractive and successful but lonely architect living in upstate New York and running his own company called Hanscom Architecture. Jeremy Ray Taylor as Young Ben Hanscom James Ransone as Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak: A member of the Losers Club, a hypochondriac and victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. As an adult, Eddie is a successful risk analyst for an insurance firm in New York City and is married to Myra, who is very similar to his over-protective mother Sonia. Jack Dylan Grazer as Young Eddie Kaspbrak Andy Bean as Stanley "Stan" Uris: A pragmatic member of the Losers Club who aided in the battle against It in 1989. As an adult, he becomes a founding partner of a large accounting firm in Atlanta and is married to a woman named Patty Blum. Wyatt Oleff as Young Stanley Uris Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Dancing Clown: An ancient predatory creature from another dimension brought to Earth millions of years ago by a meteorite. It awakens every 27 years to feed on the fear of children that it kills. Pennywise is It's favorite and primary guise, although It is shown to take many in order to instill fear into It's victims. It was overpowered and seriously wounded by the Losers Club in 1989, forcing It into premature hibernation. This defeat motivates it to rebuild its strength and kill the Losers once they return to Derry. Other guises of It include Joan Gregson as Mrs. Kersh, an apparently sweet and gentle elderly woman, actually a monster, who lives in Beverly's childhood home; Javier Botet as Hobo, a leper who encountered Eddie at the 29 Neibolt Street house, and also as The Witch, the monstrous form of Mrs. Kersh; Jackson Robert Scott as Georgie Denbrough, Bill's late younger brother; and Owen Teague as Patrick Hockstetter, a young hoodlum who was eaten by Pennywise in the sewers in 1989. It also briefly appears without clown makeup, under the alias Bob Gray (also Skarsgård).

I know that legally, all shools in the U.S. have ot accept students with disabilities, but which schools actually have good accommodation services is something that is determined thugh experience. So, what are some good schools with good accommodation services for someone who wants to pursue a STEM major? I am hoping to double-major in either computer science or exercise science amd music, so anything with good accommodation services is crucial. I know that I can contact the office of disability services, but asking around is better for me. Thank you so much in advance.

I do think being mindful of the quality of disability services is really an important factor. That said, since there are so many different universities in the U.S., and each university has different strength and shortcomings, I think it is perhaps a useful exercise to come up with a list of schools you are interested in, based on your academic interests and other qualities. Then investigate the disability supports and services available at those institutions. For what it is worth, I am currently studying at University of Wisconsin-Madison; my experience with the disability services here has been positive for the most part here, and I do think the university has good programs for computer science and kinesiology. It also has a school of music on its own, and I am aware that there was a blind student who di dher doctoral studies at the music school here many years ago. I am also aware that SUNY Brockport has a professor who works a great deal with blind youth on physical education, though I have no experience at all with the university's disability services.

I hope the last month of the semester is not getting too intense for most of us. If there is any advice y’all can take from me, please do not take 18 credits in one semester. I thought I wised up but I went and took the risk again this semester. Anyway, please view below a posting for cohosts needed for an NFL and sports talk YouTube channel podcast. On behalf of the team over at the Real Sports YouTube Channel: The Golden Truth Podcast, covering all things NFL, is taped every Friday evening. The Golden Truth Podcast is in need of a cohost alongside host Oscar Montiel. The team at the Real Sports YouTube Channel is looking for someone knowledgeable in all things NFL, open and willing to provide honest, potentially controversial opinions on all things NFL, and willing to dive into heated debate, surrounding various players, teams, coaches, managers, owners, etc. ideally, to land a spot on this week‘s Friday evening episode taping, please reach out to Oscar Montiel, ( oscarjmontiel37 at gmail.com), no later than this Wednesday evening. However, if there is an interest in cohosting for future episodes, please feel free to reach out to Oscar Montiel, (oscarjmontiel37 at gmail.com), at some point quite soon for a test run taping. Bring all your NFL knowledge and uncensored opinions to a loaded, dynamic, and often times laugh inducing conversation on all things professional football. With many thanks and much respect.

I am in a social work class where we are working with a practice client, and we have to use certain assessment tools with them as well as keep a case file. I have a digital case folder in Google Drive so that my professor can give me feedback directly on my assignments similar to how she handwrites feedback for the sighted students. One of the assessment tools is for the client to create a genogram, which the client did on paper. However, my professor wants me to scan the genogram so I can put it in my digital case folder, and she wants me to scan it independently due to confidentiality. I am hoping that someone here has some ideas. I have an iPhone, Mac Air, and BrailleNote Touch, and I believe that my campus also has scanners but I’m not sure how accessible they are since I’ve never had to use them. I love KnFB Reader, but I’m not sure how helpful it would be since I’m not trying to convert anything into text. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ideal candidates that I am searching for must have extensive NFL knowledge, the willingness to debate me on certain controversial NFL topics at times. Having some soccer knowledge is also a plus, because there will be times where I will discuss soccer. My next show is scheduled for this Friday night, so if you are interested please reach out to me by no later than this upcoming Thursday. If you know anyone please send this message along and feel free to email me back if interested.
