Hello everyone,

I'm writing to share information about an online course that I absolutely loved. It's called "Global Disability Studies," and it is offered for undergraduate, graduate, and professional education credit. I took it from the same professor, also online, in the summer of 2022. It is offered by the University of Vermont. 

This course is being offered again in summer 2024, still online. The professor did a wonderful job teaching about global cultures, especially African cultures, and disability. She's a disabled woman from Ghana, a country in Africa, and most of the course modules were about disability in African contexts. The course used a lot of guest speakers, probably more than half of the class meetings, and they were typically leaders in disability rights or disability services in different parts of the world. 

It can be really challenging to find a good course relating to disability and diversity, and I think this one was excellent. It can count for undergraduate, graduate, or professional credit. I have sometimes taken courses in the summer time at another university other than my primary university; if I got approval ahead of time, I was allowed to count those courses toward my degree. 

Check this out if it might be right for you. Reach out to the professor if you like. She's super approachable and encouraging. 

Aloha,

Justin

Wonka


 

Run Time 1 hour & 56 minutes

Rating: PG

 

Willy Wonka,

an aspiring magician, inventor, and chocolatier, arrives in Europe to
establish his chocolate shop at The Galéries Gourmet. Burning through his
meager savings, he is coerced to stay at Mrs. Scrubitt's boarding house by
her henchman Bleacher and, despite orphan Noodle's warning about the fine
print, signs a contract because he is illiterate. To pay them off, Wonka
introduces "hoverchocs", chocolates that make people fly, facing opposition
from three rival chocolatiers who call the Chief of Police to confiscate
Wonka's earnings for disrupting trade and selling without a chocolate store.

Unable to pay the expensive fees imposed on him by the contract, 

Wonka is captured and forced to work in a launderette for Mrs. Scrubitt

alongside five other captives, including Noodle. Learning of a "Chocolate
Cartel" plot involving the rival chocolatiers, he makes his escape with the

help of Noodle; while he promises her a lifetime supply of chocolates, she
promises to teach him how to read. Wonka tells Noodle that his affinity for

chocolate stems from his late mother, and also alludes to the theft of his
chocolates by an enigmatic little orange man. The Cartel leaders meanwhile
bribe

the sweet-toothed Chief by providing him with his own supply of chocolates,
inducing him to force Wonka to leave town.

To produce his signature chocolate, Wonka and Noodle travel to the local
zoo, milking Abigail the giraffe. Together with the other launderette
workers,

they embark on a chocolate-selling crusade to alleviate their debts while
using tunnels underneath the city to evade the police. The persistent thief
of

Wonka's chocolates is unmasked as an 

Oompa Loompa

named Lofty, who reveals that the Oompa Loompas seek retribution for the
cocoa beans Wonka originally took from Loompaland under Lofty's watch. Wonka

captures Lofty, but Lofty dupes Wonka into freeing him; he tricks Wonka into
letting him strike him with a frying pan and snatches a jar of chocolate
before

disappearing.

Using the funds raised from selling chocolates, Wonka and the launderette
workers open Wonka's dream chocolate store. The Chief and the Cartel, who
are

now unable to arrest him since he has a legitimate shop, expose him to
Scrubitt. Infusing his chocolates with 

Yeti

sweat, Scrubitt incites chaos among the customers, leading to the
destruction of Wonka's store. Wonka reluctantly agrees to the Cartel's offer
to leave

town by ship to pay off everyone's debts. Because of this, all of the
workers are released from the launderette except Noodle; Cartel leader 

Arthur Slugworth

pays Scrubitt to keep her there indefinitely. Wonka deduces that Noodle and
Slugworth are related, before he and Lofty are forced to jump off the boat,

as it is rigged to explode. After rescuing Noodle, Wonka and the group
devise a strategy to obtain the Cartel's incriminating account book.

Using Abigail as a distraction, Wonka and Noodle infiltrate the Cartel's
base, where they are confronted by the Cartel. Slugworth discloses that
after

the death of Noodle's father, his own brother Zebedee, he falsely reported
Noodle as deceased to her mother, Dorothy, and gave her to Scrubitt in order

to eliminate her claim to the family fortune. Held at gunpoint, Wonka and
Noodle are nearly drowned in a vault of chocolate, but Lofty rescues them.

Wonka and Noodle expose the Cartel's misdeeds to the authorities and the
public. They release the Cartel's chocolate reserve through a fountain,
laced

with Wonka's unique ingredients, ruining the Cartel's enterprise. The Cartel
meets their downfall, and the police arrest the corrupt Chief. The public

revels in tasting Wonka's chocolate fountain, and Wonka unwraps the last
chocolate bar his mother had given him, discovering a golden paper with a
message

stating that "The secret is it's not the chocolate that matters, but who you
share it with." He splits the bar into six pieces to share with his friends

before reuniting Noodle with her mother Dorothy Smith. He then settles his
debt with Lofty and finds an abandoned castle for sale to start building his

own chocolate factory, with Lofty as his tasting chef.

Wonka's friends return to their old lives. Scrubitt and Bleacher attempt to
eliminate the evidence of sabotaging Wonka's shop, but they are arrested for

their complicity in the Cartel's scheme.

 


Titanic


 

Run Time 3 hours & 15 minutes

Rating: PG 13

 

In 1996, aboard the research vessel 

Akademik Mstislav Keldysh,

Brock Lovett and his team search the 

wreck of RMS Titanic.

They recover a safe they hope contains a necklace with a large diamond known
as the Heart of the Ocean. Instead, they find only a drawing of a young nude
woman wearing the necklace. The sketch is dated April 14, 1912, the same day
the Titanic 

struck the iceberg

that caused it to 

sink.

[Note 2]

After viewing a television news story about the discovery, 

centenarian

Rose Dawson Calvert contacts Lovett, identifying herself as the woman in the
drawing. Hoping she can help locate the necklace, Lovett brings Rose aboard

Keldysh, where she recounts her experiences as a Titanic passenger.

In 1912 

Southampton,

17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater, her wealthy fiancé Caledon "Cal" Hockley
and Rose's widowed mother Ruth board the Titanic. Ruth emphasizes that
Rose's marriage to Cal will resolve the family's financial problems and
maintain their upper-class status. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson, a poor young
artist, wins a third-class Titanic ticket in a poker game. After setting
sail, Rose, distraught over her loveless engagement, climbs over the stern
railing, intending to commit suicide. Jack coaxes her back onto the deck and
they develop a friendship. Jack soon admits that he has feelings for Rose.
When Cal and Ruth object, Rose rejects Jack's attentions, but returns to him
after realizing she has fallen in love.

Rose brings Jack to her state room and requests he draw her nude, wearing
only the Heart of the Ocean. They later evade Cal's servant, Lovejoy, and
have

sex in a 

Renault Towncar

inside the cargo hold. On the forward deck, they witness the ship's
collision with an iceberg and overhear its officers discussing its
seriousness. Cal

discovers Jack's sketch and an insulting note from Rose in his safe, along
with the necklace. When Jack and Rose return to warn the others about the
collision,

Cal has Lovejoy slip the necklace into Jack's pocket to frame him for theft.
Jack is confined in the 

master-at-arms'

office. Cal puts the necklace into his own overcoat pocket.

With the ship sinking, the crew prioritize women and children for
evacuation. Rose finds and frees Jack, and they make it back to the deck,
where Cal and

Jack urge Rose to board a lifeboat. Intending to save himself, Cal lies that
he will get Jack safely off the ship and wraps his overcoat around Rose. As

her lifeboat is lowered, Rose, unable to abandon Jack, jumps back onto the
ship. Cal grabs Lovejoy's pistol and chases Jack and Rose, but they escape.

Cal realizes the necklace is still in the coat he gave Rose. He poses as a
lost child's father to board a lifeboat.

Jack and Rose return to the deck. The ship's stern is rising as the flooded
bow sinks; the two desperately cling to the stern rail. The upended ship
breaks

in half and the bow section sinks. The stern slams back onto the ocean,
upends again and sinks. In the freezing water, Jack helps Rose onto a wood 

transom panel

among the debris, buoyant enough only for one person, and makes her promise
to survive. Jack dies of 

cold shock,

but Rose is among six people saved by the one returning lifeboat. 

RMS Carpathia

rescues the survivors. Rose avoids Cal and her mother by hiding among the
steerage passengers and giving her name as Rose Dawson. Still wearing Cal's

overcoat, she discovers the necklace tucked inside the pocket.

In the present, Rose says she heard that Cal committed suicide after losing
his fortune in the 

1929 Wall Street crash.

Lovett abandons his search after hearing Rose's story. Alone on the stern of
Keldysh, Rose takes the Heart of the Ocean, which has been in her possession
all along, and drops it into the sea over the wreck site. While she is
seemingly asleep in her bed,

[17]

her photos on the dresser depict a life of freedom and adventure inspired by
Jack. A young Rose reunites with Jack at the Titanic's 

Grand Staircase,

applauded by those who died that night.

 

 


A Star Is Born


 

Run Time 2 hours & 15 minutes

Rating: R

 

43-year-old Jackson "Jack" Maine, a famous 

country rock

singer privately battling an 

alcohol

and 

drug addiction,

plays at a concert. His primary support is Bobby, his manager and older
half-brother. After a show, Jack goes out for drinks and visits a 

drag bar

where he witnesses a tribute performance to 

Édith Piaf

by 31-year-old Ally, who works as a waitress and singer-songwriter. Jack is
amazed by her performance, and they spend the night talking to each other,

where Ally discusses her unsuccessful efforts in pursuing a professional
music career. Ally shares with Jack some lyrics she has been working on, and
he

tells her she is a talented songwriter and should perform her material.

Jack invites Ally to his next show. Despite her initial refusal, she attends
and, with Jack's encouragement, sings "

Shallow"

on stage with him. Jack invites Ally to go on tour with him, and they form a
romantic relationship. In 

Arizona,

Ally and Jack visit the ranch where Jack grew up and where his father is
buried, only to find that Bobby had sold the land, which was converted into
a 

wind farm.

Angered at his betrayal, Jack attacks Bobby, who subsequently quits as his
manager. Before doing so, Bobby reveals that he did inform Jack about the
sale, but Jack was too drunk to notice.

While on tour, Ally meets Rez, a record producer who offers her a contract.
Although visibly bothered, Jack still supports her decision. Rez refocuses

Ally away from country music and towards 

pop music.

Jack misses one of Ally's performances after he passes out drunk in public;
he recovers at the home of his best friend George "Noodles" Stone and later
makes up with Ally. There he proposes to Ally with an impromptu ring made
from a loop of a guitar string, and they are married that same day at a
church ministered by a relative of Noodles.

During Ally's performance on 

Saturday Night Live,

Bobby reconciles with Jack. Later, Ally and a drunken Jack fight over Ally's
growing artistic success. Jack criticizes Ally's new image and music, as her
success appears to be outpacing his recent decline in popularity. At the 

Grammy Awards,

where Ally is nominated for three awards, a visibly intoxicated Jack
performs a tribute to 

Roy Orbison.

Later in the evening, Ally wins the 

Best New Artist

award. When she goes up on stage to receive her award, a still-inebriated
Jack staggers up to her, where he publicly 

wets himself

and passes out. Ally's father, Lorenzo, berates a semi-conscious Jack while
Ally attempts to help Jack sober up. Jack joins a 

rehabilitation

program shortly thereafter. While recovering in rehab for about two months,
Jack discloses to his counselor that he tried to commit 

suicide

at age 12. He also mentions that he has hearing problems due to
progressively worsening 

tinnitus.

Jack tearfully apologizes to Ally for his behavior. While returning home,
Jack admits to Bobby that it was he whom he idolized and not their father.
Ally

asks Rez to bring Jack on her 

European

tour, but Rez refuses, prompting Ally to cancel the remainder of the tour,
so she can care for Jack. Later, while waiting at their home for Ally, Rez

confronts Jack and accuses him of nearly ruining Ally's career, stating that
Jack will certainly relapse again, and explains how "embarrassing" it is
that

she is married to him. That evening, Ally lies to Jack and tells him that
her record label has canceled her tour, so she can focus on her second
album.

Jack promises he will come to her concert that night, but after Ally leaves,
he hangs himself in their garage.

Grief-stricken and inconsolable after Jack's suicide, Ally is visited by
Bobby, who tells her that the suicide was Jack's own choice. The closing
scenes

reveal a flashback of Jack working on a song about his love for Ally, which
he never finished writing. Ally sings this song as a tribute to Jack,
introducing

herself for the first time as Ally Maine.

Reply-To: Performing Arts Division list <perform-talk at nfbnet.org>


I am not sure if this is an appropriate place for this request, but I believe that this is an issue that any current or former blind or visually impaired student can relate to and recognize the importance of.

My fellow College Success mentees and I recently and abruptly learned that Envision would be suspending the college Success Program and all of its activities. This is a program that links blind and visually impaired college students with empathetic blind and visually impaired mentors who can guide and support us through college and post-graduation career planning. It’’s a fantastic program that has helped so many students by giving us a safe place to receive guidance from those who have already faced and surmounted similar challenges and support from fellow students who share the same journey. While they have said that their intention is that the program will be suspended for only a few months, we are not sure if the program is coming back. And while the letter stated that they will be assessing and reevaluating the program, we are  also concerned about the fact that they are doing so without the consideration and input of the mentees who are affected the most by changes.

This suspension has essentially and suddenly left mentees without guidance in the middle of the school semester. Those of us who were being supported in our career development, have also been similarly impacted.

We are also not sure if our mentors will be kept on following changes to the program and so are concerned about who will be mentoring us in the future, and if they will even identify with us as blind individuals.

In order to address our concerns, what we consider to be a complete lack of consideration, and the potential threat of   Them implementing a program that refuses the input of the mentees it is proposed to support, my fellow mentees and I have written a group letter and have made it into a petition. We  are asking anyone we can to support us by signing and sharing the letter via Change.org.

So, if you are comfortable and can sympathize or empathize with our concerns, we would be so grateful if you could  please sign and share with any family, friends, coworkers, and organizations who may be sympathetic to our cause. I will include the link below. The letter included in the petition explains in further detail, our love for this program and our mentors as well as  the actions we hope to be  taken.

Hi All,

Writing a quick note to vouch for this program and its impact. Put simply,
the mentorship which I have received through the College Success Program
has been integral to my success at university. Additionally, I Would not
have applied for the NFB scholarship or become involved in the Federation
if it were not for the encouragement and support of my mentor. It is a
great asset to many, and its closure would have a profound impact. For this
reason, your support would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Noah

To: <nabs-l at nfbnet.org>


I am collecting information from students who are blind or have low vision
about barriers and experiences they have encountered in studying chemistry.
(At the end of this e-mail, I have provided information about myself.(
Would you please strongly and thoughtfully consider providing responses to
the below questions? After I review initial responses, I will issue a
survey to help categorize responses and collect more information



You may respond to me directly and / or to the whole NFB NABS listserve.
You may use the following e-mail: adagostino at ndm.edu

Thank you.

Alfred T. D’Agostino, PhD.

Emeritus Professor of Chemistry

(FYI, I am blind and non-visually conduct my work and professional
activities. I am interested in promoting changes in how chemistry is taught
to students who are blind or have low vision, and in promoting advances in
adaptive/ assistive technologies in chemistry instruction)



1( Would you please describe your First-hand account of the barriers you
have encountered in your study of chemistry at the college / university
level. That is, in the in-person and online / virtual environments, and
especially in the laboratory.



2( In considering your experience in taking chemistry courses and
laboratory in any setting), what method, tool, innovation, would have
helped you learn chemistry more effectively?





Alfred T. D’Agostino, Ph.D. - Professional Biography



Outreach in Non-Visual Accessibility

Dr. Alfred D’Agostino’s personal and professional activities overlap his
interest in promoting accessibility in science lab instruction for blind/
low-vision (BLV) students. Dr. D’Agostino non-visually conducts his
professional activities; he completed the C.O.R.E. Program at Blind
Industries and Services of Maryland (and is currently a member of the Board
of Trustees). He is a reviewer for Journal of Blindness Innovation and
Research. He is a member of the Digital Accessibility Advisory Board at his
institution. Dr. D’Agostino has given many professional talks on the topic
of accessibility for the blind; including Communicating in equations and
formulas: Symbolic representations and challenges in the online environment
to the Maryland Distance Learning Association, and a plenary presentation
to the CLEAR International Symposium on Practical Approach to Accessible
Chemistry Instruction for Blind and  Low-Vision Students.  In 2021, he
published Accessible Teaching and Learning in the Undergraduate Chemistry
Course and Laboratory for Blind/ Low-Vision Student in the Journal of
Chemical Education. He has facilitated ‘hands-on’ chemistry experiments for
college students and adults at   National Federation of the Blind’s
Louisiana Center for the Blind and at the Colorado Center for the blind
using ‘speech-enabled’ probe ware. He has supervised undergraduates in his
general education courses  in service-learning projects on hands-on
chemistry experiments with blind school-age children. In 2016, Professor
D’Agostino held a Symposium at the Biennial Conference on Chemical
Education titled “accessible instruction and participation in the
undergraduate science course for students with vision impairment or loss”
and he presented “Making General Chemistry laboratory accessible to
blind/low-vision students” at the 2018 conference during the Symposium on
Addressing Underrepresented Groups in STEM. He hosted “Including the Blind
in Chemistry: Making Instruction Accessible” symposium at BCCE 2022. At
conferences where he presents to faculty colleagues, he highlights the
access technologies (including tactile graphics) that can assist BLV
students in doing independent work in the least restrictive learning
environment.



Impact in Higher Education

Alfred T. D’Agostino, Ph.D. served as a full-time faculty member for
23-years at Notre Dame of Maryland University. In June 2017, he was awarded
the rank of Emeritus Professor of Chemistry upon retirement. he was
Chemistry Department chairperson (15 years), and Biology Department
Chairperson (2 years) and he has served multiple times on all major
academic and governance committees over a 40-year career in academia at
several universities including University of South Florida (two PH.D.
students), University of Maine and Rutgers University. Professor D’Agostino
has taught chemistry to non-science majors, students in radiological
science and pharmacy programs, nurses, and to majors and graduate students;
his specialty areas are in physical and analytical chemistry, including
research in surface science and interface analysis. As a teacher, he uses
active teaching and facilitated learning practices and methods. He has used
POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) in his courses including
the physical chemistry classroom and laboratory; he has used
service-learning in his general education chemistry course and has directed
undergraduate research as an ACS REU co-PI. His scholarship is in the areas
of pedagogy and learning assessment - his investigations have involved the
relationship among instructional methods, assessment instruments, rubrics,
learning mode and outcomes in chemistry courses. Professor D’Agostino is
continuing his teaching and study interventions at Community College of
Baltimore County – projects include how online student interaction can be
used to improve problem-solving skills and how student metacognition
feedback may be used to assist students in improving study habits. He is
also engaged in the Teaching Squares program and in the Student Success
Center. Some of his recent and upcoming presentations have been at
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Commons, Biennial Conference on
Chemical Education Maryland Distance Learning Association, AFACCT, MCSC and
MAALACT. Presentations have included Communicating With Formulas and
Equations: Symbolic Representations in the Online Environment.   He has
given roundtables and workshops on improving science writing using group
interaction and peer review, outcomes assessments and collaborative
learning. Professor D’Agostino participated in workshops on reflective
teaching and on the use of education cards to inform teaching at
International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
conferences.



Experimental Research

Dr. D’Agostino’s  research has been in the areas of surface science and

 Committee!
Message-ID: <CABj7WGbu--AjN45poDBEuqmvCmDgG4aOB_sN4ECVfVcVHGEV9g@mail.gmail.com>

Good evening NABS Fam,

The Advocacy Committee would like to announce and invite you to our
upcoming Public Speaking Workshop! This will be a two part series happening
this Sunday April 21 and the following Sunday April 28, both via Zoom at
5pm Eastern, 2pm Pacific. The first workshop will cover the basic skills of
public speaking as well as provide a brief period for people to practice
what they learned. The second session will be a more focused practice
session where participants will also have opportunity to receive feedback
to help continue to improve their skills.

We do ask that all participants fill out our brief registration form so
that we can plan accordingly for how many participants to expect as well as
a few other logistics. There is no cost, and registration is open to all.

Registration form link:

Good afternoon to all. I am writing to get some advice and/or resources for job hunting. I have a couple of friends that either have their own business, or they have no work experience. They want to do something with customer service on the phone or assistive technology or accessibility consultation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We have two job-related lists on nfbnet.org, job-listings and job-discussions.

To subscribe send mail to job-discussions-subscribe at nfbnet.org or 
job-discussions-subscribe at nfbnet.org and leave everything blank.  The 
first just has listings, the second allows for questions, discussions etc.

You can also go to www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/ and find the two 
lists with all others. Fill out form, you have five minutes to fill 
out form, and submit to server before it times out.

Hi Mariya,
I am going through the same thing, trying to find jobs in the same things.
I have been on Linked-in, Indeed, and have been applying, but have been
rejected. Maybe you might find something on those websites. I'm trying to
find something remote, however the jobs list mostly sends job postings that
are in person, so that is not helpful for me.
I would like ideas from anyone else about not only finding jobs, but how to
be convincing enough to have an interview.
That is the hardest part of the process at this time, making it past the
application process.
If those websites are not helpful for you, I would suggest reaching out to
connections you know in your field, asking them if they might know someone
who needs employees with your experience, and then contacting them and
sending your resume. Hopefully they will look at your resume in the stacks
of resumes they already have.
Thanks

Hello Dear NABS Members,
My name is Zeynep Yilmaz, a PhD candidate in the Counselor Education and
Supervision program at the University of Arizona. As part of my degree
requirements, I am conducting a dissertation study titled "The Development
and Validation of the Counselor Disability Competence Scale." I kindly
request your consideration in participating. Upon completion of data
collection, you will be eligible for a drawing for 10 (ten) $20 Amazon gift
cards in appreciation of your participation and time. All counselors,
regardless of subspecialty or prior experience with this population, are
welcome to participate. My hope is that this study will not only help to
understand the current state of knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and skills
among counselors and counseling students in working with clients with
disabilities but also to inform the creation of resources for counselors to
assist them in being able to provide more effective and affirming
counseling services. As collecting data from a large sample is challenging,
your support would be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to participate
yourself, I would be thankful if you could share this message with other
counselors in your network. Below, you can find more details and the
participation link if you're interested in taking part.

Eligibility
To be eligible to participate in this study, you must:
• be 18-years old or older; and
• be enrolled in a graduate-level counseling program in the United States
and have completed at least two full-time semesters and one practicum
experience in the program; or
• have graduated from a master-level counseling program; or
• currently be work as a practicing counselor.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you can
withdraw at any time without any penalty.
If you agree to participate, it will approximately take 15-20 minutes to
complete the study. Upon completion of data collection, you will be
eligible for a drawing for 10 (ten) $20 Amazon gift cards in appreciation
of your participation and time. Following completion of the survey, you
will be prompted to move to a new page where you can enter your e-mail
address if you would like to be included in the gift card drawing. Entering
this drawing will be optional, and your e-mail will not be matched with
your answers.
Survey Link: If you are interested in participating, please click on the
following link:

Additional Information and/or Concerns:
The University of Arizona IRB has approved this research (Protocol
#2106956002)
For questions, concerns, or complaints about the study you may contact the
principal investigator, Zeynep Yilmaz at zyilmaz at email.arizona.edu . You
may also contact my adviser, Dr. Linda Shaw at lshaw at email.arizona.edu.
Please feel free to share this study opportunity with others. I appreciate
your time and consideration!

Good morning,
My name is MaKenzie Love, and I am a high school student who is looking to
attend college and pursue a degree in either secondary education or a
teacher of the visually impaired (TVI). I would love to hear from someone
who is either currently majoring in education or who is planning to major
in education in the future. If you would like to reach out to me, please
send me an email directly to love.makenzie07 at gmail.com. I look forward to
hearing from you soon.
Thank you,
MaKenzie Love
