Top Gun

United States Naval Aviator Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and his Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) Lieutenant Junior Grade Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, stationed in the Indian Ocean aboard the USS Enterprise, fly the F-14A Tomcat. During an interception with two hostile MiG-28s,[a] Maverick missile-locks on one, while the other hostile locks onto Maverick's wingman, Cougar. Maverick drives it off, but Cougar is so shaken that Maverick defies orders to land and shepherds him back to the carrier. Cougar resigns his commission. Maverick and Goose are sent in his place by CAG "Stinger" to attend Top Gun, the Naval Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar.

Before the first day of instruction, Maverick unsuccessfully approaches a woman at a bar. He learns the next day she is an astrophysicist and civilian Top Gun instructor, Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood. She becomes interested in Maverick upon learning of his inverted maneuver with a MiG-28. In Maverick's first training hop, he flies below 10,000 feet (3,000 m), breaking a major rule of engagement, to defeat instructor Lieutenant Commander Rick "Jester" Heatherly. Maverick and Goose also buzz the control tower when specifically told not to do so. They are reprimanded by chief instructor Commander Mike "Viper" Metcalf.

Privately, Jester tells Viper that while he admires Maverick's skill, he is not sure if he would trust him as a teammate in combat. In class, Charlie objects to Maverick's aggressive tactics against the MiG-28, but privately tells him she admires his flying; they begin a romantic relationship.

On training Hop 19, Maverick abandons his wingman "Hollywood" to chase Viper. As a result, first Hollywood and then Maverick are defeated in a demonstration of the value of teamwork. Jester tells Maverick his flying is excellent, but criticizes him for leaving his wingman. Maverick’s rival, Lieutenant Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, calls his behavior "foolish", "dangerous" and worse than the enemy, to which Maverick responds “I am dangerous”.

Maverick and Iceman, the leading contenders for the Top Gun Trophy, chase an A-4 in Hop 31. As Iceman has trouble getting a lock on the A-4, Maverick pressures him to break off so that he can move into firing position. However, Maverick's F-14 flies through Iceman's jet wash and suffers a flameout of both engines, going into an unrecoverable flat spin. Maverick and Goose eject, but Goose fatally slams into the jettisoned aircraft canopy.

The board of inquiry clears Maverick of any wrongdoing, but he is shaken and guilt-ridden, and considers quitting. He seeks advice from Viper, who flew with Maverick's father in the Vietnam War-era air battle where he was killed. Contrary to official reports faulting Mitchell, Viper says he died heroically. He tells him he can succeed if he regains his self-confidence. Maverick chooses to graduate and congratulates Iceman, who has won the Top Gun Trophy. Iceman, Hollywood, and Maverick receive immediate deployment orders to deal with a crisis situation; they are sent to the Enterprise to provide air support for the rescue of the SS Layton, a disabled communication ship that drifted into hostile waters.

Aboard Enterprise, Iceman and Hollywood are assigned to provide air cover, with Maverick and RIO Merlin on standby. Iceman expresses his concerns to Stinger about Maverick's mental state, but is told to just do his job. Iceman and Hollywood are pulled into a dogfight with what first appear to be two MiGs, but turn out to be six. After Hollywood is shot down, Maverick is scrambled. He goes into a spin after encountering another jet wash, but recovers. Shaken, he breaks off, but then re-engages and shoots down three MiGs. Iceman destroys a fourth, and the remaining two MiGs withdraw. Upon their triumphant return to Enterprise, the pilots share their newfound respect for one another. Finally confident and able to let go of the guilt caused by the training accident, Maverick later throws Goose's dog tags overboard.

Offered the choice of any assignment, Maverick chooses to return to Top Gun as an instructor. He and Charlie reunite at a bar in Miramar.

Top Gun Maverick

More than 30 years after graduating from Top Gun,[a] United States Navy Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is a test pilot. Despite many achievements, repeated insubordination has kept him from flag rank;[b] his friend and former Top Gun rival, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, now commander of the Pacific Fleet, often protects Maverick. Rear Admiral Chester "Hammer" Cain plans to cancel Maverick's hypersonic "Darkstar" scramjet program in favor of funding drones. To save the program, Maverick unilaterally changes the target speed for that day's test from Mach 9 to the final contract specification of Mach 10. However, the prototype is destroyed when he cannot resist pushing beyond Mach 10. Iceman again saves Maverick's career by assigning him to the Top Gun school at NAS North Island for his next assignment, but Cain tells Maverick that the era of crewed fighter aircraft will soon be over.

The Navy has been tasked with destroying an unsanctioned uranium enrichment plant, located in an underground bunker at the end of a canyon, before it becomes operational. It is defended by surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), GPS jammers, and fifth-generation Su-57 fighters as well as older F-14 Tomcats. Maverick devises a plan employing two pairs of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets armed with laser-guided bombs,[c] but instead of participating in the strike, he is to train an elite group of Top Gun graduates assembled by Air Boss Vice Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson.

Maverick dogfights his skeptical students and prevails in every contest, winning their respect. Lieutenants Jake "Hangman" Seresin and Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw—son of Maverick's dead best friend and RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw—clash: Rooster dislikes Hangman's cavalier attitude, while Hangman criticizes Rooster's cautious flying. Maverick reunites with former girlfriend Penny Benjamin, to whom he reveals that he promised Rooster's dying mother that Rooster would not become a pilot. Rooster, unaware of the promise, angrily resents Maverick for dropping his Naval Academy application—impeding his military career—and blames him for his father's death. Maverick is reluctant to further interfere with Rooster's career, but the alternative is to send him on the extremely dangerous mission. He tells his doubts to Iceman, who has terminal throat cancer. Iceman advises that "It's time to let go" and reassures him that both the Navy and Rooster need Maverick.

After Iceman dies, Cyclone removes Maverick as instructor following a training incident in which an F/A-18F is lost. Cyclone relaxes the mission parameters, so they are easier to execute but make escape much more difficult. During Cyclone's announcement, Maverick makes an unauthorized flight through the course with his preferred parameters, proving that it can be done. Cyclone reluctantly appoints Maverick as team leader.

Maverick flies the lead F/A-18E, accompanied by a buddy lazing F/A-18F[d] flown by Lieutenant Natasha "Phoenix" Trace and WSO Lieutenant Robert "Bob" Floyd. Rooster leads the second strike pair, which includes Lieutenant Reuben "Payback" Fitch and WSO Lieutenant Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia. The four jets launch from an aircraft carrier, and Tomahawk cruise missiles destroy the nearby air base as they approach. The teams destroy the plant, but the SAMs open fire during their escape, as anticipated. Rooster runs out of countermeasures, and Maverick sacrifices his plane to protect him. Believing Maverick to be dead, the others are ordered back to the carrier, but Rooster returns to find that Maverick ejected and is being targeted by an Mi-24 attack helicopter. After destroying the gunship, Rooster is shot down by a SAM and ejects. The two rendezvous and steal an F-14 from the damaged air base. Maverick and Rooster destroy two intercepting Su-57s, but a third attacks as they run out of ammunition and countermeasures. Hangman arrives in time to shoot it down, and the planes return safely.

Later, Rooster helps Maverick work on his P-51 Mustang. Rooster looks at a photo of their mission's success, pinned alongside a photo of his late father and a young Maverick, as Penny and Maverick fly off in the P-51.

 Student Seminar!!!
Message-ID: <CAFXV1qVZn0a=jHPfVq_NFN4FmmKq2+yYsCREWPa5RT8ZsdkF2g@mail.gmail.com>

NABS,

In a city teeming with life… with an eclectic culture and thriving with
art… brimming with luscious gardens and tumbling waterfalls…. blind
students gather with a purpose—to form friendship and connection, family
and community. Join us this spring, in the city of roses, in Portland,
Oregon!!!


The time has come! On behalf of the National Association of Blind Students
Pacific Seminar Planning Committee and National Federation of the Blind of
Oregon, I am incredibly excited to welcome you to the official announcement
for the NABS 2023 Pacific Regional Student Seminar, “Capable and
Confident”.

When: May 19th - May 21st, 2023

Where: Radisson Hotel Portland Airport: 6233 NE 78th Ct, Portland, OR 97218
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/6233+NE+78th+Ct,+Portland,+OR+97218?entry=gmail&source=g>



Confidence in ourselves and confidence in others shape almost every aspect
of our lives, whether it be in our everyday social interactions or in our
long-term career goals. Oftentimes, however, blind students are bogged down
by low expectations from schools, workplaces, loved ones, and perhaps most
consequentially, from within. No matter where you are in your journey, this
seminar is all about 1) strengthening your foundation for self-confidence
as a blind student through skill development and information sharing, 2)
fostering confidence in blind peers by staying rooted in shared lived
experiences, and 3) raising expectations/confidence of those who may not be
allies of blind students yet. Throughout the weekend, you'll be part of an
authentic community that values independence, competence, and self-love, as
we engage with powerful speakers and impactful activities. You'll have the
chance to network with peers and mentors who have redefined what it means
to be blind and who will challenge you to do the same. This seminar is more
than just about learning - it's about getting comfortable with the
uncomfortable and challenging yourself to reach new heights.

The registration link for our event is below, and we invite you to get
registered anytime between now and the closing of our registration window
on May 1st, 2023; however, we would like to point out just a few things
before you let excitement get the best of you.

Each attendee is responsible for a $100 registration fee, payable to the
National Federation of the Blind of Oregon, which will cover meals
throughout the weekend as well as administrative expenses necessary to
support this event. We encourage you to proactively reach out to your
vocational rehabilitation agency and/or National Federation of the Blind
state affiliate to help offset this expense. This fee is due by the time
registration closes on May 1st. Until we receive both your registration
form response and this fee, your spot is not guaranteed. You can complete
your payment at the below link:

https://www.nfb-oregon.org/home/nabs/nabs_credit_tran.php

 We will not be assigning roommates for this event. We are more than happy
to support you in finding a roommate if you require assistance, which you
can indicate on the registration form linked below; however, if you do not
either take the initiative to procure a roommate or reach out for
assistance, you will be responsible for the hotel expense of $109 +
applicable taxes and fees for each night of the event. To reserve your
room, please call the Radisson Hotel Portland Airport at (971) 361-3971,
and mention the National Federation of the Blind for the seminar group
rate.

Hello everyone, me and some other students from my college are participating in the Arkansas Governers Cup.  This is a state wide competition where college students present business Ideas and receive feedback for their ideas.

All I need from you is for you is to take a quick survey and if posable share it with all the Blind people you know. The more blind people take it the better.
Survey:

Announcing the New
AAPD Fall Internship Program
[image: Group photo of interns and alumni at AAPD's 20th Anniversary in
front of an AAPD backdrop]
The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) announces our
new Fall Internship Program. Over the past 20 years, we have hosted over
450 interns with disabilities through our Summer Internship Program.
*The goals of the internship program are to:*
1. Build leadership and advocacy skills,
2. Get work experience, and
3. Connect with the Disability community.
In 2022, AAPD did a long-term evaluation of the program. We learned about
the large, positive impact of the Summer Internship Program.

Past interns:

   - Had more confidence at work,
   - Went on to have meaningful employment,
   - Developed their disability identities, and
   - Made strong connections with other disabled leaders.

The evaluation recommended expanding the program and its impact. With the
support of Arconic Foundation, we are excited to start a new Fall
Internship Program in Fall 2023.
Arconic Foundation President and Treasurer, Ryan Kish shared, “Many young
people have benefited from this unique and valuable internship. We are a
long-time supporter of this program and are proud to support its expansion.
As it grows, more students will be further prepared and empowered to shape
their futures.”

Hello everyone, me and some other students from my college are participating in the Arkansas Governers Cup.  This is a state wide competition where college students present business Ideas and receive feedback for their ideas.

All I need from you is for you is to take a quick survey and if posable share it with all the Blind people you know. The more blind people take it the better.
Survey:

Hi Bryson,



I believe this is the third time now you've posted the exact same information on here in just a matter of 2-3 days. There is really no need to post the exact same information more than once, especially if people have already filled your survey out when you first posted it on here; if people don't want to fill it out, that's purely at their discretion. Spamming the list in an attempt just to make more people fill out your survey really isn't going to work I'm afraid.



All that being said, I'm not a list moderator, but I would strongly recommend you stop cluttering the list with your survey. If you want to send out a follow-up later with how the survey is going/with any results, that's fine, but please stop sending the exact same information repeatedly in a matter of hours and days, and cluttering the list as such.



I hope I've made myself clear here, and hope you understand where I'm coming from.



Thank you for your understanding,

Hello Sami, the content of the email is the same however the survey in it is different. This survey is just product that Blind people use and how you would categorize them.
Thank you for letting me know about how everything looks the same I'll be sure not to copy and paste going forward.
Have a great day!

> Learnability and usability of the accessible visualization system that our research team developed
> Future directions towards more accessible data visualization system and data science education.
> Participants’ personal information and data such as name and email collected from the user studies will be systematically removed from the final results.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the

Hey hey NABS,

I hope you’re crushing those midterms!! This is just to inform you all that the content creation committee will not be meeting this month this upcoming Sunday, Mar 12. That’s due to our special content creation workshop taking place at 1 PM eastern, presented by the one and only Sam from “The Blind Life”. 

If you’ve already registered to attend the workshop and paid your registration fee to secure your spot, thank you. As a reminder, that’s $5 for existing NABS members, and $10 for non-members. 

We hope to see you at 1 PM EDT for this exciting workshop.

Take care,

Hello Performers!
Do you ever wonder, how do you express yourself on stage? How can blind people authentically learn and create facial expressions, gestures, and body movement so we compete with our sighted peers? What tips and tricks have you learned to engage your audience and tell your story while performing? To discuss all these questions and more, join the National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division for our upcoming membership call all about facial expressions, gestures, and being comfortable in your body on stage. All are welcome, whatever your acting proficiency! We will hear from three experienced blind actors in varying stages of their careers, Madie Hendrix, Cristina Jones, and Katelyn MacIntyre, and there will be plenty of time for questions and to share your own ideas.

Thursday, March 30, 8 PM, Eastern, 5 PM, Pacific.

For over 100 years, the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually
Impaired (MABVI), has been committed to supporting individuals living with
visual disabilities. We teach strategies for doing the activities that may
have previously relied on vision to accomplish. There is no one right way to
live with visual disability/blindness. Our goal is to help our program
participants to find ways that work for them and to provide them with the
support they need on their journey.

 

Job Description:

 

The MABVI per diam Adjustment Counselor (AC) is an exciting opportunity for
a Master's Level Social Worker or an individual with a Master's Degree in a
related field to contribute in a powerful, passionate way within a well
established and creative environment. The Adjustment Counselor will conduct
phone meetings with referred participants to provide individual, couples, or

Good evening Federation Family,

Thank you so much to all that supported us, in our “Raise the dough” St.
Patrick’s day Pizza party! I’m happy to report it was a great success and a
ton of fun :) The best part being, it isn’t over yet…


Our Little Caesars take home Pizza boxes are officially live! A great way
to support FABS by having a family pizza party at home. FABS receives $6 a
box, so feel free to share far and wide. This event will only be open for a
month so get ‘‘em while they’re hot. Ships directly to the customer when
the order is placed.

Accessible Pharmacy Podcast!

 

We would like to thank Andy Burstein with Accessible Pharmacy for joining us
for a presentation for all about the services in which Accessible Pharmacy
offers! Below is more information about Accessible Pharmacy  and above my
signature is a direct link to listen to the National Federation of the Blind
of South Carolina podcast! 

 

Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA!

 

below is that "we are able to show aggregate outcome improvements of 33%!"
We are actually in the process of developing a study with a government
agency to formally document the outcome inc\provmenets but we're not ready
yet. (we actually think the number may be higher!)

 

Patient Education & Support

Medication Management

Diabetes Management

Clinical Pharmacist Consultation & Access

Genomic Testing

Extreme Simplification

Cost Containment

We built our company by launching Accessible Pharmacy Services for the
Blind: a comprehensive, home delivery pharmacy service specializing in the
needs of the blind, DeafBlind and low vision community and their families.
We were founded by blind and sighted experts in the areas of accessibility,
technology and medicine and we are the only provider of its kind.

 

We do everything for you: we will coordinate all of the details with your
doctor and insurance provider including helping to keep costs as low as
possible. Simply call us for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit
for you.

 

In 2023, we are expanding and launching Accessible Pharmacy Services for
refugees to assist refugee settlement experts provide medication management
solutions to refugees. Refugees across the country will be able to improve
their health outcomes and live healthier lives.

 

Accessible packaging, home delivery & labeling options are all FREE!

 

We work with our patients to try different packaging solutions in order to
maximize compliance and the healthcare benefits. Prescription medications
can be combined with over-the-counter medication, vitamins and supplements
including The Accessible Pharmacy Brand.

 

Presorted in a disposable pill organizer with weekly or monthly options.

Individual packets - just like Pill Pack

Howdy, Wonderful Students, \

Oh, how long it has been. This is Nikhil Dadlani, the secretary of the 
California Association of Blind Students, or CABS. I hope that all of 
you are thriving in school and have grand plans for your spring break!

As April approaches, so does a very unique CABS fundraiser, our CABS gram.

Basically, you have the opportunity to listen to the CABS team embarrass 
itself through two  distinct recorded tracks. To hear this top of the 
line art, it will cost you $8 for one of the grams, and $15 if you would 
like to buy both. We will be officially releasing the content on April 
1st, and we would love it if you all would support CABS and its many 
efforts by listening to our unique craft!

Please note: a recorded teaser will be arriving soon, so stay tuned!

I can't wait for all of you to hear our wonderful toons!

Have an excellent week!

-- 
Best Regards,
Nikhil Dadlani

Are you in the mood for some goofy fun through customized music? Would you
like to send a special someone a gift they'll remember for the ages? Do you
want to embarrass CABS leadership and myself? Well, order a CABS Gram today!

The CABS board and I have composed two, dare I say, smile-inducing
parodies, which you can have sent to a special someone of your choosing.
We've written, sang, and recorded our own lyrics; but we've even left room
for you to include your own custom message in our songs! Check out the
teaser and order form below, and send your special someone a CABS Gram
today! Orders will close on March 30.

The deadline is fast approaching to apply for a National federation of the Blind of Minnesota 2023 Joyce and Tom Scanlan scholarship, but there is still time. Applications are being accepted until April 15.

This year we will be awarding two scholarships, each for $2,000, to qualified applicants. In addition to the monetary award, winners will have the opportunity to attend the Annual Convention of the National Federation of the Blind during July 1-6 at our expense in Houston, Texas, this year. At the convention, scholarship winners will have the chance to meet other blind students from throughout the country and gain valuable insights into succeeding as blind people. Additionally, both winners are required, at our expense, to attend the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota convention in the fall, dates and location still to be determined. The scholarships will be presented at the banquet of this convention.

Candidates must be students who are legally blind and attending a post-secondary school full-time or part-time in Minnesota. In order to apply for a scholarship, complete the online application at https://nfbmn.org/scholarship-program or use the attached application. Be sure to include the additional required documents and send them to scholarships at nfbmn.org. A Microsoft Word version of this information and application can also be requested through the same email address.

The following documents must also be supplied:

1.      Personal essay from applicant - NFB scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic excellence and community/campus service and leadership. In your essay, discuss your academic and career goals as well as your academic, community, and/or employment experiences. Tell us about yourself and why you are a deserving recipient of the scholarship. Since the awards are restricted to legally blind people, the committee will also be interested in the techniques you use to succeed as a student who is blind. If you are a part time student, tell us how your part time status supports your educational goals.
2.      Two letters of recommendation - you can send these via email to scholarships at nfbmn.org
3.      Transcripts - current official transcript from institution now attending and transcripts from all other post-secondary institutions attended. If you have not yet completed one year of college study, submit a transcript from the high school you previously attended.

Interview with Committee Member: All applicants will be contacted by a member of the scholarship committee shortly after the application deadline. A telephone interview will enable you to tell the committee more about yourself and your goals for the future.

Your application, essay, letters of recommendation, and transcript(s) must be received by April 15, 2023.

If you or anyone else should have any questions regarding these awards, please contact the Scholarship Committee, at scholarships at nfbmn.org or call us at 612-872-9363.

Additionally, the National Federation of the Blind offers 30 national scholarships each year. This is a completely separate program with a separate application process. The application deadline for that program is March 31, and arranging for an interview with our state president before the national deadline is required. If you would like more information about the national scholarships, visit http://www.nfb.org/scholarships

To learn more about us and what we do here in Minnesota, please visit http://www.nfbmn.org

  Dear NABS,

My name is Dana Ibrahim

I am an Egyptian student residing in Egypt, and I have been blind since
birth.

With the help of my parents and some NGOs in Egypt, I received early
intervention and proper rehabilitation.

I was able to learn both literary and music braille, as well as the use of
assistive technology (I.E. screen-readers, talking graphing calculators,
and braille displays.)

I know that the NFB requires that I reside in the U.S., and I know that I
have to be 18 by July 5th, but please consider my request.

I truly, really need this scholarship; I am living in a country where
accessibility is practically non-existent.

I need to study in the U.S. because I have no options here in Egypt
regarding studying in an accessible school; blind people are not allowed to
study STEM courses at school, and even if they are, there are no
accommodations whatsoever.

I need near-full financial aid due to the high cost of studying abroad and
inflation rates that are rapidly rising; 1 U.S. dollar equates to about 32
Egyptian pounds.

I am sure that the NFB scholarship can offer me so many opportunities that
will help me truly make a change to the blind community.

Thank you so much in advance.
Sincerely,
Dana Ibrahim

 I am not on that committee, but I think what you’re requesting is possible if you are selected. You would have to attend university in the states starting this fall. You would have to be able to go to Houston for the national convention. If both of these are true, then definitely apply but you have only less than a week now. Maybe I will meet you in Houston and best of luck with studies.

Hi Dana,


I myself am from Dubai, where accessibility is almost non-existent as well
and I had no concept of independence until I found out about the Louisiana
Center for the Blind and was fortunate enough to attend. One way you can
get help with your goal is to attend one of the NFB training centers, get
training in various skills and they should help you in getting to college.

Salam Dana,
Hope you are well. I am on the NFB national scholarship committee, and I am also originally from Palestine. As long as you will be studying in the United States this fall, and as long as you meet the other criteria, you are welcome to apply. This scholarship is based on merit though, and financial need is not one of the factors for consideration. Please also note that you have to be 18 by July 1, 2023, not July 5 as you indicate. Good luck!

Hello,
It was just one problem.
I turn 18 on September 23.
Would it be possible to apply?
Also, if not, can I apply next year?
This means, however, that I will be 19 in September 2024.
Is there an age limit for these scholarships?
Thank you,
Dana

Salam Dana,
Hope you are well. I am on the NFB national scholarship committee, and I am also originally from Palestine. As long as you will be studying in the United States this fall, and as long as you meet the other criteria, you are welcome to apply. This scholarship is based on merit though, and financial need is not one of the factors for consideration. Please also note that you have to be 18 by July 1, 2023, not July 5 as you indicate. Good luck!

Hi Dana, if you don’t turn 18 until after July 1, 2023, you would not be eligible this year. There is no upper age limit so it would be OK to apply any year after you turn 18.

Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced changes in Outlook and if they
can't find the button to attach files. I'm not sure why outlook was
changed, but the attachment button is somewhere on the top of the screen,
which I've been trying to get to. Usually, the attachment button is right
below the Discard button, but I have no idea where it is.
Can someone who has used outlook let me know how to find it?
Thanks

In outlook, please try to locate the attachment button inside the Insert
button

Are you missing the entire toolbar or just the button? If just the button,
right click the toolbar and select Customize. Find the attach button in the
dialog box that opens and drag and drop it back on the toolbar. If the
entire toolbar is missing go to View on the Menu Bar and select Toolbar

You could also copy the document from where it is on your computer and paste it into the body of an email and it should appear where attachments go. I do hope this information is helpful.

Good Morning,

You can use the short key alt plus N and then arrow down.  It takes you directly to the attach button.

Kat's short cut is also a great way to do it.  Just go to the document you are wanting to attach and do control plus C to copy, then once you are back in the body of the email do control plus V to paste it.  You can shift tab to make sure it pasted the correct document.

Hope this helps!


Sincerely,
Jamie K. Richey

Message-ID: <0A2B006D-4B65-4B95-879D-A194DD66648D@gmail.com>

Hi everyone, 
I recently sent in my BrailleSense 6 for repair, for some issues it has been having. I got it back today, and the original issues seem to have been resolved, but the cursor routing buttons are not working. I have tried rebooting the device, but they still aren't working. I looked through the settings to see if there was any way I could reactivate them, but they still don't work.
I have emailed HIMS and will hear back hopefully tomorrow, but I was wondering in the mean-time if anyone else has had this issue with their cursor and if they were able to fix it. 
Thanks, 
Vejas

Vejas,
You've probably already tried this, but I ran into something similar, 
except all my keys weren't responding, so let's try a trick I was given 
by hims support over the phone.
On the front of the sense 6, is a switch, this is the locking switch, 
it's on the very left hand side of the front edge.
Slide this switch all the way to the left, the sense 6 will either 
speak, braille, or both, the message, depending on your settings, all 
keys locked.
Then slide that same switch back to the right, and the sense 6 will 
either speak, braille, or both, depending on settings, the message, 
unlocked.
Does this resolve your issue?

I'm copying the nabs list back into this thread because apparently it's 
a Tuesday and my initial response didn't go their as well.
OK, fine, it doesn't want to be that simple?
Technology on a Tuesday.
First, make sure you have a current backup of your flash disk.
You can do this from utilities and the backup/restore flash disk option.
Next, go into setup, and select Initialize braille sense options
This will restore the software back to factory settings.
You'll get a message asking if you want to initialize braille sense 
options, tell it yes.
You'll be told initializing settings, system will reboot.
Once this is done, and the system reboots, you'll get the tutorial, feel 
free to exit it with space+E.
This should, in theory resolve any underlying software issues and if the 
world is nice to us all, your cursor routing keys should work as 
expected.
If not, I'm out of ideas, and hims'll have to help you from here.

Hi Shane,
Thanks for your email. Unfortunately, the world isn't very nice, or, at least, not on this particular Tuesday evening. I tried initializing the settings already, but sadly, still the same problem.
I've sent HIMS an email, and will call them on Thursday if they don't get back tomorrow.
In any case, I really appreciate you trying to help, and you were able to help me with my computer settings last month. Even the vendor emailed me back today and told me to contact HIMS. Still, if anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate it to give them a try. 
Thanks, 
Vejas

Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced changes in Outlook and if they can't
find the button to attach files. I'm not sure why outlook was changed, but
the attachment button is somewhere on the top of the screen, which I've been
trying to get to. Usually, the attachment button is right below the Discard
button, but I have no idea where it is.
Can someone who has used outlook let me know how to find it?
Thanks

Hi All,
Just a quick update on my BrailleSense 6 cursor routing buttons. HIMS gave me some troubleshooting steps which unfortunately did not work. I will have to send it in again. Apparently when they tested it everything was working fine, but they are unsure if something might have happened in transit.
And thank you to Shane for trying to trouble-shoot.
