Whether a professional performer or a dappling yet devoted hobbyist, we’d love to feature you!

 

If you’re interested in being featured, please reach out to Board Member Elizabeth Rouse at elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com <mailto:elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com>  to express your interest no later than end-of-day on May 31, 2023.

Message-ID: <CAPLp=dcAMMWgeDJDd64cgDy-+VQNOxgi5qK3kCFrXvzG2kaKOA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello, NABS members and supporters!!!

Who would have thought it would be so simple to assist blind pupils today?
Anyone, blind or not, has the ideal chance to assist our students, having
an impact on young people all over the country.



The 7th annual NABS Walk-A-Thon is now open! This enjoyable and simple
effort will center on raising money for our organization, which offers
blind students a variety of resources, including mentoring, advice on how
to succeed in high school and college, funding attendance at leadership
seminars, and sending national student leaders to events that will empower
our youth.



What do you need to do? Please join us by taking part in this program that
focuses exclusively on walking—something that most of us do every day! Each



The event's specifics are shown below. If you have any questions, get in
touch with NABS Board Member Hunter Kuester at hunterkuester2 at gmail.com.



When: From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM Central Standard Time on Monday, July 3,
2023. As long as you're prepared to check your steps at the start and end
of each day, you can participate anywhere in the globe, but we hope you'll
join us in Houston, Texas, for the National Convention of the National
Federation of the Blind.



How: Checking the Health app on your iPhone or installing a step-tracking
program that translates steps into miles walked is all it takes to become
involved. Feel free to track your progress using a fitness wearable or just
your smartphone if you choose.



How do you solicit donations? You will be prompted to share your page on
social media after registering. Your relatives and friends will learn about
your plans on July 3 in this post, along with your motivations. We ask for
commitments of about $5 to $10 per mile when soliciting funds, but
obviously all sponsorships and donations are welcomed and appreciated.
Sharing freely and frequently on social media is the key to success!



The nicest part is that we are not requesting that your day be altered.
Simply sign up, share your page, and start walking to fulfill your role.



More specifics are coming!

We greatly appreciate it in advance. Let’s take a walk!

Seabiscuit


 

In the early 20th century, as America enters the automobile age, Charles S.
Howard opens a bicycle shop in San Francisco. He is soon selling
automobiles, becoming the largest car dealer in California and one of the
Bay Area's richest men. In the wake of the Great Depression, Canadian John
"Red" Pollard's family is financially ruined, and he is sent to live with a
horse trainer. Years pass and Pollard becomes a jockey, but amateur boxing
leaves him blind in one eye.

 

After their young son is killed in an automobile accident, Howard's wife
leaves him. He obtains a divorce in Mexico, where Pollard is struggling to
make his mark as a jockey. Howard meets and marries Marcela Zabala. When he
acquires a stable of racehorses, he hires itinerant horseman Tom Smith as
his trainer. Smith convinces him to buy a colt called Seabiscuit. Though a
grandson of the great Man o' War and trained by the renowned James E.
Fitzsimmons, Seabiscuit is viewed as small, lazy, and unmanageable. Smith
witnesses Pollard's similarly temperamental spirit, and hires him as
Seabiscuit's jockey.

 

Under Smith's innovative training, Seabiscuit becomes the most successful
racehorse on the West Coast and an underdog hero to the public. Howard
issues a challenge to Samuel D. Riddle, owner of the East Coast champion and
Triple Crown-winning racehorse War Admiral, but Riddle dismisses California
racing as inferior. In the prestigious Santa Anita Handicap, Seabiscuit
takes the lead, but Pollard's impaired vision prevents him from noticing
another horse surging up on the outside. Losing by a nose, Pollard admits
his partial blindness to Smith.

 

Howard declares that Pollard will remain Seabiscuit's jockey, and rallies
public support for a match race with War Admiral. Riddle agrees, on the
condition that they race with a rope and bell instead of a starting gate.
With Seabiscuit at a disadvantage, Smith trains the horse to break fast at
the sound of the bell. As the race approaches, Pollard severely fractures
his leg in a riding accident. Informed he may never walk again, let alone
ride, he recommends that his friend and skilled jockey George Woolf ride
Seabiscuit, advising him on the horse's handling and behavior from his
hospital bed.

 

The highly anticipated "race of the century" draws a sellout crowd, with 40
million more people listening on the radio. Seabiscuit takes an early lead
until the far turn; following Pollard's advice, Woolf lets Seabiscuit look
War Admiral in the eye before surging ahead, and Seabiscuit wins by four
lengths, delighting the nation. A few months later, Seabiscuit injures his
leg. Pollard, still recovering from his own injured leg, tends to the horse
as they both heal. When Seabiscuit is fit enough to race again, Howard
brings him back to the Santa Anita Handicap, but is reluctant to allow
Pollard to ride and risk crippling himself for life. At the urging of Woolf
and Marcela, Howard relents.

 

Pollard, using a self-made leg brace, finds himself and Seabiscuit facing
Woolf in the race. Seabiscuit drops far behind the field until Woolf pulls
his horse alongside Pollard, allowing Seabiscuit a good look at his mount.
With Woolf's encouragement, Seabiscuit surges ahead and passes the others.
Heading for the finish line several lengths ahead, Pollard explains that the
story of Seabiscuit is not merely of three men who fixed a broken-down
horse, but that Seabiscuit fixed them and, in a way, they fixed one another.

Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022)


 

In 1983, 19-year-old Whitney Houston is being coached by her mother Cissy
while leading a church choir in New Jersey. A professional singer herself,
Cissy pushes her daughter to be better, though being hard on her at times.
Whitney finds solace in a friendship with Robyn Crawford, which turns
romantic, and they later move into their own apartment, much to the chagrin
of Cissy. One night, Cissy and Whitney are set to perform at the Sweetwaters
nightclub. After spotting producer Clive Davis in the audience, Cissy feigns
sickness and encourages Whitney to open the show. Whitney performs "The
Greatest Love of All", which impresses Davis, who immediately signs Whitney
to Arista Records.

 

He books her for her first major live performance on The Merv Griffin Show,
where she gives a performance of "Home". Soon afterwards, Whitney releases a
highly successful debut album, and sets up her production company, Nippy
Inc., run by her overbearing father and self-appointed manager, John. When
Whitney wants to hire Crawford as a personal assistant, John refuses due to
their personal relationship and tells the pair to date men, to Robyn's
dismay.

 

After recording a love song with Jermaine Jackson, the two start a sexual
relationship, which angers Robyn. After a fight, Robyn breaks down and
Whitney ends their romantic relationship, but remain close friends. In 1987,
Whitney releases her sophomore album and its leading single, "I Wanna Dance
with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", which makes her a crossover success. However,
she is accused by a radio show interviewer of selling out and not sounding
"black enough", to which Whitney angrily defends herself.

 

Attending the Soul Train Music Awards in 1988, Whitney is met with
protesters at the red carpet and her name is booed after singer Anita Baker
announces her as one of the nominees for Best Music Video. Whitney meets
singer Bobby Brown and the two start to date; eventually, Bobby proposes to
her in their limousine, and she accepts. Shortly afterward, Bobby informs
her that he impregnated his ex-girlfriend, leading an enraged Whitney to
storm out of the limousine, but they quickly reconcile.

 

In the early 1990s Whitney is at her peak, performing the "Star Spangled
Banner" at Super Bowl XXV and acting in the film The Bodyguard, and going on
tour, performing "I Will Always Love You" at a stadium in South Africa for
newly inaugurated president Nelson Mandela. Following a miscarriage, she
later marries Bobby and has a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. One night,
Whitney returns home to find Bobby gone and her credit card missing. When he
returns the following morning, the two argue, resulting in her throwing him
out of the house and using drugs to cope.

 

In 1998, Clive meets with Whitney to discuss her not releasing a new studio
album in over eight years, despite releasing seven major singles and
starring in three films. Inspired by her tumultuous relationship with Brown,
Whitney records the ballad "Why Does It Hurt So Bad", despite rejecting it
several times before. Later, she confronts her father about spending too
much of her money on expensive gifts, leaving her near broke, and then
discovers that he has been negotiating a new $100 million contract with
Arista behind her back.

 

Later, dealing with insomnia, Whitney goes to Clive's hotel room and asks
him to show her potential songs. Upon finding one she likes, a new studio
album is released. She also informs Clive that she is going on tour (to
stable her finances), and Clive warns her about burning out. She dismisses
his worries. The following tour is exhausting, and leads to Houston having a
mental and physical decline in which she descends to drug addiction,
damaging her voice and reputation. Davis urges her to enter rehab, but she
refuses.

 

Near the tour's end, Robyn and Bobby argue, after the former attempts to get
Whitney to return home and end the tour. In the end, she chooses to continue
the tour, leading to Robyn leaving Whitney's life. Before leaving, she later
tells her that her father is dying in a hospital. There, Whitney is
confronted with a $100 million lawsuit from John's company. She cuts ties
with her father, even refusing to attend his funeral. Cissy finds her
daughter in a drug-induced haze and orders her to rehab by a police order.
Eventually, Whitney sobers up, reconnects with daughter Krissy, and divorces
Brown.

 

In 2009, Houston attempts a comeback with a new album and performs one of
its tracks on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Following the performance, Clive
visits Whitney and she tells him that she is interested in going back on
tour, but Clive advises her to rest. But she goes on with the tour, which
proves disastrous and prompts walkouts due to her performance. In February
2012, Houston arrives at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles to perform "Home"
at a pre-Grammy party. Her bassist Rickey advises her to call it off and
rest, but she refuses. At the hotel's bar, she and the bartender reminisce.

 

In her hotel room, a tearful Whitney begins running bath water and sings
"Home" to herself while reminiscing about her life and career before dying
suddenly. In a flashback, Houston sings a medley of "I Loves You, Porgy",
"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", and "I Have Nothing", which is met
with a standing ovation.

Palmetto Zoom Event


 

Be sure to join our Sports and Rec Division for "Get Fit Sessions" every
Tuesdays at 5:30 PM and Saturdays at 9:00 AM on the below Palmetto Zoom
platform!

 

The National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina Sports and Recreation
Division is a proud division of the National Federation of the Blind. We
know that blindness is not the characteristic that keeps us from achieving
our health, wellness, and athletic goals. The Sports and Recreation Division
serves as a community around sports, recreation, health, and wellness.

Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are two of the biggest health concerns
across the United States. Both are more prevalent among blind individuals.
The Sports and Recreation Division works diligently to raise awareness of
health concerns related to exercise, nutrition, and wellness. We serve as a
network of experts to help blind people break down barriers to full
participation in sports, recreation, and exercise. We are also a great
source of support for gyms, community recreation programs, and others in the
health and wellness arena who want to make their services more accessible to
the blind.

>From the seasoned blind sports and recreation participant to the blind
person who is considering beginning an exercise, sports, or wellness
regiment this is the community for you!

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

A Message from Stacie Leap

“Hello Federation family! Thank you to everybody for all your well wishes,
positive thoughts, and prayers as I went through a big medical emergency. I
ended up with a bad case of pneumonia that ended up affecting a lot of my
already existing health conditions. I am slowly regaining my health and
slowly taking on responsibilities. This past month has helped me reflect on
my health and I will be taking more time focusing on my health instead of
pushing it off to the side. I thank those who called, texted, and showed up
to help. I really, really, really appreciate all of you!”

BlindSquare is the world's most widely used accessible GPS-app developed for
the blind, deafblind and partially sighted. Paired with third-party
navigation apps, BlindSquare's self-voicing app delivers detailed points of
interest and intersections for safe, reliable travel both outside and
inside. Open the doors to enhanced independence with BlindSquare.

 

How does it work?

 

After determining your location, BlindSquare gathers information about your
surroundings on Foursquare and OpenStreetMap.

INTERESTS

 

Algorithms determine what information is most useful to you such as popular
cafes, post offices or libraries.

NAVIGATION

 

Shake your device to hear your current address and details about the nearest
intersection and venues around you.

BlindSquare will track your destination and periodically announce the
distance and direction you're headed.

Mark your position if you'd like help finding your way back later.

FILTERS

 

Filters can be applied to provide only the information you're looking for so
you're not overwhelmed by details on your surroundings.

FAVORITES

 

Mark your saved places and Foursquare venues as Favorites and BlindSquare
will always notify you once you reach them.

Favorites will be saved in iCloud and synced to all iOS devices for device
consistency.

VOICEOVER

 

BlindSquare uses Acapela voices in many different languages to announce
information about your environment even when your device is tucked away for
a hands-free experience.

SOCIAL MEDIA

 

If you enjoy using Foursquare independently, authorize BlindSquare too
access your account so you can check into your favorite venues by simply
shaking your device.

Share your check-ins on Facebook, Twitter, or keep them private if you wish.

LANGUAGES

Is there a way to be able to use JAWS to navigate on zoom, without the other participants hearing it? When I launch a meeting, other people can hear when I navigate with JAWS, and it would be good if only I heard it.

Subject: [NABS-L] JAWS and Zoom

Hi,
Is there a way to be able to use JAWS to navigate on zoom, without the other
participants hearing it? When I launch a meeting, other people can hear when
I navigate with JAWS, and it would be good if only I heard it.
Ian

Hello Ian,
I'd like to echo what has already been said. I use headphones. If you
don't want to, you could always mute yourself while you're doing
something with Jaws and unmute to speak, unless you want to speak and
perform functions on the computer at the same time? If so, headphones
are your best option.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

Subject: Corrected Links Attend Jury Trial in Los Angeles May 23-25

Dear Federation Friends,

Come join us May 23-25 in Los Angeles for an important legal advocacy event.
I and many others will be watching the jury retrial of the Los Angeles
Community College District.  LACCD refuses to resolve our concerns about
ongoing discrimination against blind community college students, illustrated
by its past treatment of Roy Payan and Portia Mason.  The trial begins on
Tuesday, May 23 and is expected to last for three days.

I, blind college students and interested members will be attending to show
support and observe the trial.  Each morning at 9:00 a.m. PT, on
Tuesday-Thursday, May 23-25, we will gather in front of Courtroom 10A, 10th
Floor, 350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, California 90012.  I will also be
visiting with folks during the breaks to discuss the case and what is
happening in the trial.  I expect we'll be going out to lunch and dinner
together on May 23 and 24.  I don't get many opportunities to spend time
with our Southern California family.  Please make a point to come say hello
and advocate for our blind students.  All are welcome to come for one or all
days.  College students, particularly students interested in law and digital
accessibility, won't want to miss this rare opportunity to see the justice
system in action.

Please call or text (916) 382-0372 on May 23 if you have questions or
concerns.  You may also contact local chapter presidents and our student
division president:
Michael Richardson michaeljr66 at yahoo.com <mailto:michaeljr66 at yahoo.com> ;

Information about the issues in the case can be found in this preliminary
ruling on appeal.

 Spring Fundraiser!

Greetings from the Missouri Association of Blind Students,

 We're thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with The DotShop, a renowned brand that shares our vision of empowerment and our values, hopes and dreams.  Together, we've launched a meaningful campaign to support blind students across Missouri and we're inviting you to contribute to our fundraiser.

The initiative, titled "Hope is in things Unseen", centers around two beautifully crafted products - a sturdy tumbler and a comfortable t-shirt, both designed to symbolize the resilience and potential of blind students.  Each item features a powerful Braille inspired design, incorporating the word "Hope", to serve as a reminder of the strength and potential that lies within each of us, seen or unseen.  By purchasing one (or both!) of these items, you will not only own a product that exudes style and purpose but also contribute directly to strengthening the lives of our blind students across the state of Missouri.  The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards educational resources, advocacy efforts, sending our students to the bustling NABS regional student seminars, and numerous initiatives, all aimed at uplifting and empowering our students.

Now, more than ever, your support can make a significant difference.  Fundraiser purchases are available until June 3, 2023; get yours now here <http://dotshopusa.com/MOABS-fundraiser>!

The Missouri Association of Blind Students

Calling all performing artists! From 3 to 103, we want to hear from you!

 

An upcoming Scene Change podcast episode, one of the official representations of the NFB’s Performing Arts Division, will be dedicated to the presence of performing arts in our lives, featuring artists from every age and stage of life. We would love to explore the role that art has played in the lives of some of our members, whether the art was discovered in the early years of youth or as a hobby later in life. Whether a professional performer or a dappling yet devoted hobbyist, we’d love to feature you!

 

If you’re interested in being featured, please reach out to Board Member Elizabeth Rouse at elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com <mailto:elizabethrouse.nfb at gmail.com>  to express your interest no later than end-of-day on May 31, 2023.

 

Please don’t delay in reaching out as we’ve got a few plans up our sleeve, which may include recording live from the 2023 National Convention in Houston, and we’ve got scheduling to do in that case…

 

For more information, reach out to Elizabeth using the email above, and thanks in advance for your time and interest! 😊

Hey hey nabs fam!
Can you believe that national convention is just a few months away?
January 1st was the beginning of a new membership year in NABS, meaning that all prospective members both new and returning need to fill out our membership application as well as pay $5 in annual dues to be considered for active membership during the current calendar year. If you haven’t completed this process yet, it’s not too late!
 Anyone that would like to vote or run in our elections during the 2023 NABS business meeting, must obtain active membership status in NABS no later than Sunday, June 25.
As an added bonus, anyone who obtains active membership in NABS between January of this year  to June 25 will be automatically entered into a raffle for the chance to win a nap‘s Tumblr at convention!!   You can read more about how to obtain active membership status on our website:

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

Can you please circulate this to NABS for any students in the Los Angeles
area?

Dear Federation Friends,



Come join us May 23-25 in Los Angeles for an important legal advocacy event.

I and many others will be watching the jury retrial of the Los Angeles
Community College District. LACCD refuses to resolve our concerns about
ongoing

discrimination against blind community college students, illustrated by its
past treatment of Roy Payan and Portia Mason. The trial begins on Tuesday,

May 23 and is expected to last for three days.



I, blind college students and interested members will be attending to show
support and observe the trial. Each morning at 9:00 a.m. PT, on
Tuesday-Thursday,

May 23-25, we will gather in front of Courtroom 10A, 10th Floor, 350 W. 1st
Street, Los Angeles, California 90012
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/350+W.+1st+Street,+Los+Angeles,+California+90012?entry=gmail&source=g>.
I will also be visiting with folks during

the breaks to discuss the case and what is happening in the trial. I expect
we'll be going out to lunch and dinner together on May 23 and 24. I don't
get

many opportunities to spend time with our Southern California family.
Please make a point to come say hello and advocate for our blind students.
All are

welcome to come for one or all days. College students, particularly
students interested in law and digital accessibility, won't want to miss
this rare

opportunity to see the justice system in action.



Please call or text (916) 382-0372 on May 23 if you have questions or
concerns. You may also contact local chapter presidents and our student
division

president:

NABS,

Have you ordered your MIssouri swag yet that directly benefits Missouri Association of Blind Students? I know, I know, you were probably just looking for a link that was lost in the mist of hundreds of other emails. Let’s make sure that you have the link to our fundraising page so you are Abel to place your order now!

Introducing our initiative, "Hope is in things Unseen," which revolves around two beautifully crafted products: a sturdy tumbler and a comfortable t-shirt. These items are more than just accessories; they symbolize the resilience and potential of blind students in Missouri. Each design features a powerful Braille-inspired motif with the word "Hope," serving as a reminder of the strength and potential that lies within each of us, seen or unseen.
By purchasing one (or both!) of these products, not only will you own a fashionable and purposeful item, but you will also contribute directly to strengthening the lives of our blind students across the state. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards vital educational resources, advocacy efforts, and sending our students to the vibrant NABS regional student seminars. Your support will empower these incredible young individuals and help them achieve their dreams.

http://dotshopusa.com/MOABS-fundraiser


Now is the perfect time to show your support and make a significant difference. Our fundraiser purchases are available until June 3, 2023, so don't miss out! Join us in spreading hope, empowering blind students, and rocking some seriously cool merchandise.

The

Hi All, 

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 

 

In 2021 Kayleigh Joiner joined us at our NFB of SC State convention for a
presentation about Turning Obstacles into Opportunities. Kayleigh has given
us permission to share this via the National Federation of the Blind South
Carolina podcast. Kayleigh tells her story about learning Braille and the
obstacles she encountered throughout her life in which she overcomes!
Kayleigh has a message near the end of her presentation for all of us about
learning Braille! 

 

Below is a direct link to the above podcast. We hope you will subscribe to
the "National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina" podcast!

Hi all,

I don’t know if this question has been brought up on here before, but if it
has, sorry for the repeat
I don’t know if it’s me, being technically incompetent, or is it the
accessibility of the thing I’m using, but I am seeming to have a really
hard time signing a PDF with Adobe
I have DC at the moment, but I am wondering if there is another Adobe like
program that works better for filling and signing pdfs with screen readers

Thanks,

Nesma

Everything Everywhere All at Once

 

Rating R

Run Time 2 hours and 19 minutes

Evelyn Quan Wang is a middle-aged Chinese American immigrant who runs a
laundromat with her husband, Waymond; two decades earlier, they eloped to
the United States and had a daughter, Joy.

 

In the present day, the laundromat is being audited by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS); Waymond is trying to serve Evelyn divorce papers in an
attempt to get her attention so they can talk about their marriage; Evelyn's
stern and demanding father (referred to as Gong Gong, Cantonese for
'maternal grandfather'[15]) is visiting for her Chinese New Year party; and
Joy is dealing with depression[16] and has a strained relationship with her
mother, which also includes Evelyn's reluctance to accept that Joy is a
lesbian as well as Joy's relationship with her non-Chinese girlfriend Becky.

 

At a tense meeting with IRS inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdre, Waymond's body is
taken over by Alpha-Waymond, a version of Waymond from the "Alphaverse."
Alpha-Waymond explains to Evelyn that many parallel universes exist because
every life choice creates a new alternative universe. The Alphaverse, led by
the late Alpha-Evelyn, developed "verse-jumping" technology, which enables
people to access the skills, memories, and bodies of their parallel selves
by performing bizarre actions that are statistically unlikely.

 

The multiverse is threatened by Jobu Tupaki (Alpha-Joy), whose mind was
splintered after Alpha-Evelyn pushed her to extensively verse-jump; Jobu
experiences all universes at once and can verse-jump and manipulate matter
at will. She has created a black hole-like "everything bagel" topped with
everything,[17] which appears as a toroid singularity[18] that could destroy
the multiverse.

 

Evelyn is given verse-jumping technology to fight Jobu's minions, who
converge on the IRS building. She discovers other universes in which she
made different choices and flourished, such as becoming a kung fu master and
film star; she also learns of Waymond's plans with the divorce papers.
Alpha-Waymond believes that Evelyn, as the greatest "failure" of all Evelyns
in the multiverse, has the untapped potential to defeat Jobu.

 

Gong Gong is taken over by Alpha-Gong Gong, who instructs Evelyn to kill Joy
to stop Jobu from using her to enter Evelyn's universe. Evelyn refuses and
decides to face Jobu by gaining powers through repeated verse-jumping.
Alpha-Gong Gong, convinced that Evelyn's mind has been compromised like
Jobu's, sends soldiers after Evelyn. While they fight, Jobu locates and
kills Alpha-Waymond in the Alphaverse. As Jobu confronts Evelyn in her
universe, Evelyn's mind splinters, and she collapses.

 

Evelyn uncontrollably verse-jumps alongside Jobu across bizarre and diverse
universes. Jobu reveals she does not want to fight at all, but that instead,
she has been searching for an Evelyn who can see, as she does, that nothing
matters, while killing the Evelyns that do not agree with her. She brings
Evelyn to the everything bagel, explaining that she wants to use it to allow
herself and Evelyn to truly die. Upon looking into the bagel, Evelyn is
initially persuaded, and acts cruelly and nihilistically in her other
universes, hurting those around her.

 

As Evelyn is about to enter the bagel with Jobu, she pauses to listen to
Waymond's pleas in her universe for everybody to stop fighting and to
instead be kind, even when life does not make sense. Evelyn has an
existentialist epiphany and decides to follow Waymond's absurdist[19] and
humanist[20] advice, using her multiverse powers to fight with empathy[21]
and brings happiness to those around her; in doing so, she repairs her
damage in the other universes and neutralizes Alpha-Gong Gong and Jobu's
fighters.

 

In her home universe, Evelyn reconciles with Waymond, accepts Joy and
Becky's relationship and tells Gong Gong of it, and talks with Deirdre after
Waymond convinces Deirdre to let them redo their taxes. Jobu decides to
enter the bagel alone while, simultaneously in Evelyn's universe, Joy begs
Evelyn to let her go. Evelyn tells Joy that even when nothing makes sense
and even though she could be anywhere else in the multiverse, she would
always want to be with Joy. Evelyn and the others save Jobu from the bagel,
and Evelyn and Joy embrace.

 

Some time later, with the family's relationships improved, they return to
the IRS building to refile their taxes. As Deirdre talks, Evelyn's attention
is momentarily drawn to her alternative selves, before she grounds herself
back in her home universe.

Manchester By The Sea

 

Run Time 2 hours and 17 minutes

Run time R

Lee Chandler is a depressed and asocial janitor who lives alone in a
basement apartment in Quincy, Massachusetts. One day, he receives a phone
call informing him that his brother Joe, a fisherman who lives in
Manchester-by-the-Sea, has suffered cardiac arrest; Joe dies before Lee can
make it to the hospital.

 

Lee insists on being the one to tell Joe's teenage son Patrick about his
father's death. While making funeral arrangements, they are reminded Joe's
body cannot be buried until spring as the ground is frozen. Lee makes plans
to remain in Manchester, living in Joe's house until the delayed burial.

 

When Lee meets with Joe's attorney he is shocked to discover Joe named him
as Patrick's legal guardian. Flashbacks reveal that Lee once lived in
Manchester with his then-wife Randi and their three small children. One
night after hosting a raucous party, an intoxicated Lee forgot to put the
screen in front of the fireplace, leading to a house fire that killed his
children. No criminal charges were filed against him, as the police ruled it
a tragic accident. However, at the station, a guilt-ridden Lee stole an
officer's gun and attempted to shoot himself dead, before being subdued. Lee
and Randi subsequently divorced, and he left town. He is reluctant to commit
to the guardianship, as it would require him to move back to Manchester.

 

Plans are begun for Patrick to move to Boston with Lee but Patrick has
strong ties to the Manchester community and stubbornly objects. Lee commits
to staying until the end of the school year. Patrick wants to live with his
estranged mother Elise, who still lives in the area. Lee is opposed to this
as her history with alcoholism led her to abandon her family, but Patrick
decides to reconnect with her over lunch.

 

Elise has committed to Christianity and sobriety with her fiancé Jeffrey,
but during an awkward meal with them, Patrick finds he is unable to connect
with her. He is further unsettled when Jeffrey emails him and insists on
being an intermediary in any future communication between them. Lee's
positive comments about Elise's sobriety lead Patrick to believe his uncle
is trying to get rid of him, assertions Lee denies.

 

In response to this strain in their relationship, Lee takes steps to
possibly extend his stay in Manchester and seeks to spend more time with
Patrick. Over time, they re-establish their bond, despite conflicts over
Joe's boat, Patrick's girlfriends, and their future living arrangements.

 

However, staying in Manchester is still painful for Lee, as he is surrounded
by reminders of his past. One day, Lee runs into Randi with her newborn
child. A sobbing Randi expresses remorse for her treatment of Lee during
their divorce and asks him to have lunch. He deflects her apology, feeling
that he does not deserve it. When she insists they reconnect and pleads with
him not to "just die", Lee is overwhelmed with emotion and has to leave
before he breaks down.

 

Distraught, Lee gets drunk at a bar, picks a fight with strangers, and is
knocked out. He wakes up in the living room of Joe's friend George and
breaks down in tears. At home, Patrick shows his uncle deference after
seeing his battered state and pictures of his deceased children. Lee
arranges for George and his wife to adopt Patrick so that he can remain in
Manchester while Lee takes a job in Boston. When Patrick asks Lee why he
cannot remain in Manchester, Lee says that he "can't beat it."

 

During a walk after Joe's burial service, Lee tells Patrick he is searching
for a residence in Boston with an extra room so Patrick can visit whenever
he wants. In the final scene, Lee and Patrick go fishing on Joe's
refurbished boat, which Patrick has inherited.

Subject: [NABS-L] Reminder* Join Our "Hope is in things Unseen" Fundraiser:
 Empower Blind Students in Missouri Today!"
Message-ID: <77C85DDB-DE8B-4C48-9ABF-69F08B4072F6@nfbmo.org>

All!

Have you ordered your MIssouri swag yet that directly benefits Missouri Association of Blind Students? I know, I know, you were probably just looking for a link that was lost in the mist of hundreds of other emails. Let’s make sure that you have the link to our fundraising page so you are Abel to place your order now!

Introducing our initiative, "Hope is in things Unseen," which revolves around two beautifully crafted products: a sturdy tumbler and a comfortable t-shirt. These items are more than just accessories; they symbolize the resilience and potential of blind students in Missouri. Each design features a powerful Braille-inspired motif with the word "Hope," serving as a reminder of the strength and potential that lies within each of us, seen or unseen.
By purchasing one (or both!) of these products, not only will you own a fashionable and purposeful item, but you will also contribute directly to strengthening the lives of our blind students across the state. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards vital educational resources, advocacy efforts, and sending our students to the vibrant NABS regional student seminars. Your support will empower these incredible young individuals and help them achieve their dreams.

Now is the perfect time to show your support and make a significant difference. Our fundraiser purchases are available until June 3, 2023, so don't miss out! Join us in spreading hope, empowering blind students, and rocking some seriously cool merchandise.

**Private voting is a right, it should not require sight.**



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

Hi Nesma, 
I will be following your thread with interest, since I'm wondering the same thing.
Something I recently learned is that if you are filling out a document directly from an email attachment, Adobe will not always want to save the changes. Instead, you have to save it into another folder on the computer first.
