Dear Chikodinaka,
As this Holiday Season comes rushing at us, I wanted to slow down and take a special
moment to let you know that I am thankful for all of you and all that you do.
I am thankful for so many things that have happened for me over the last three and
half years. I am glad to take the time with this newsletter to catch you up and 
to tell you about some exciting times. As I write this we are starting a brief vacation
so that Karen and I have a chance to reflect and just take time to breathe a bit.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you take time over the next month
to slow down and think about all the things that you have to be thankful for and
 the many things that you have to celebrate in your own lives.
Mike

ROSELLE'S DREAM FOUNDATION
As many of you know I started Roselle's Dream foundation to connect blind students
and employees with technology that could help them in performing tasks. Recently,
I had the opportunity to begin work with a new foundation through a company called
Aira Tech Corp. The Do More Foundation has a goal of using artificial intelligence
to help blind and low vision people gain access to visual information that can help
us better perform any task we wish to accomplish.
This Tuesday, November 27th, is a special day called Giving Tuesday, where people
are invited to make contributions to their favorite charities. I invite you to visit

WE'RE BACK
It has been a few years since I have corresponded with all of you through my newsletter
from the Michael Hingson Group. There is a lot of truth to Alexander Graham Bell's
adage that "when a door closes a window opens". Even when a door doesn't close more
than one window can open. The cross ventilation can stir up all sorts of challenges
which one must address in one way or another. Let me take a moment to catch you 
up.
To read more about our journey http://michaelhingson.com/2018/11/24/were-back/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AIRA
I am saving the best new open window for last. In March 2015 I received an email
 from Larry Bock, a gentleman who said that he was representing a company called
 Aira tech Corp. As he explained it, Aira was a new company that had developed a
 unique and innovative product for blind people.
The product consisted of smart glasses with a high resolution live streaming camera
built into them, an app that would run on any smart phone and live agents around
 the country. The way the product would work is that a blind user could activate
 the app on their smart phone which in turn would activate the camera in the smart
glasses which in turn would transmit any images seen by the camera to agents through
the Internet. So, if I were wearing the glasses wherever I looked what my camera
 saw would be sent to the agent who would then describe the streaming video images.
The agents were trained by Aira to describe these images and thus provide visual
 information that otherwise would not be available to me because I couldn't see 
it. To read more about Aira, please head over to my blog at MichaelHingson.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ixeNULcIz1BPSNx4WlAiB4oU2EhA4p3czDOpbon5GTn6-fLDv_xDSv8jnO9L2EUD5Rc3Yiso1pjjUIyZCROdpsg972cteWgQp19GRRLPCD5jDUGl65TfoGPnt89uq3DM-_iO1m2VclWH_ZpwGFbLr0nfTFpUYZhQCP7Kk1WvsfiGJbQlHDOKW87O5cdhHtxy_tRtrIkWpYgahn1Gw_mPj0E_Gs8DXn1W&c=7-8jLbNhwTBp2fcGtX-hJITZ-tdVU-Pn7_W90BrCj002xMYK60H5Zw==&ch=9RvAjPMX_vfwUeW7ovgRXT5SUg3pELoJaXKeuBEjJjHT7XjZd_wScA==]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AIRA ACCESS
Aira is a subscription service. This means that on a monthly basis people who wish
to subscribe to the service and use it anywhere pay a fee based on the amount of
 time they anticipate using Aira that month.
There are no long-term contracts which means that Aira users, (we call them explorers),
can change their Aira planet will adding or reducing the amount of time they plan
to use Aira that month. The problem is that with the extremely high unemployment
 rate of employable blind people, (between 65% and 70%), even with the incredible
value Aira brings to our lives the service is just not affordable. One-way Aira 
is working to address this is by introducing a concept called Aira Access.
To find out more about Aira access go to my website  MichaelHingson.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ixeNULcIz1BPSNx4WlAiB4oU2EhA4p3czDOpbon5GTn6-fLDv_xDSv8jnO9L2EUD5Rc3Yiso1pjjUIyZCROdpsg972cteWgQp19GRRLPCD5jDUGl65TfoGPnt89uq3DM-_iO1m2VclWH_ZpwGFbLr0nfTFpUYZhQCP7Kk1WvsfiGJbQlHDOKW87O5cdhHtxy_tRtrIkWpYgahn1Gw_mPj0E_Gs8DXn1W&c=7-8jLbNhwTBp2fcGtX-hJITZ-tdVU-Pn7_W90BrCj002xMYK60H5Zw==&ch=9RvAjPMX_vfwUeW7ovgRXT5SUg3pELoJaXKeuBEjJjHT7XjZd_wScA==]

Testimonials
To Whom It May Concern:
If you are looking for a lecturer who can grab the attention of an eager audience
through personal
anecdotes and powerful stories, that teach life lessons and are inspiring, moving,
entertaining, and amazing, then Michael Hingson is the type of speaker for you.
Mike's incredible story of going down seventy-seven floors on the World Trade Center
that fateful and devastating day of September 11, 2001, aided by his guide dog, 
Rosselle, and surviving, is a feat in itself.
This story teaches the importance of cooperation in desperate situations, courage
in the face of danger, and both human and animal instinct when it comes to surviving
the worst.
Mike will also talk about growing up blind, and how he was able to navigate through
his life, while keeping a positive view, even though others would consider his challenges
"impossible to live through."
Michael will teach you that, what is considered a "handicap" will not hold you back
from anything, and that the true handicap is the idea of having limitations that
 we or other people think they have.
Michael is an excellent and compelling speaker for all kinds of audiences, as well
as a joy to work and arrange lectures with. We enjoyed having him speak at Adelphi
University this past September.
We strongly recommend him for your school/organization.
Sincerely,
Anastasia Marchelos, Lectures Chair for Adelphi University Student Activities Board

Dear Mike,

Words  cannot adequately express how inspiring your visit and  presentation were
 to me and to our entire staff. Your story, humor and  experience as a contributing
and participating member of the  community-who happens to be blind-help everyone
 to better understand and  appreciate the capabilities of individuals who are blind
and raises  expectations for our
wonderful students. I look forward to our future collaborations.
Also,  Mike, the "treats" you and Africa so kindly provided served to affirm  to
 my staff just how good and kind you are. Little wonder your book  and presentations
are inspirational to all.

Best personal regards,
Charles E. Young
President
Hadley School of the Blind

To whom it may concern:

I am the Chair for a Reno Nevada nursing educational offering entitled Excellence
in Critical Care.
This yearly conference caters to a diverse group of medical professionals across
 all patient age groups
that  require inpatient critical care. Michael was both our keynote and  closing
 speaker for our 2013 event and he did a remarkable job.
The  exit surveys overwhelmingly stated that Michael did not merely meet his  course
objectives, he exceeded them. Comments included things like "he  really changed 
my perception of not only blind people, but anyone we  call handicapped" and "when
he spoke of reading in the dark it reminded  me of my cousin. My mom used to get
 upset when my cousin visited because  she might be in the basement in the dark"
 and "he was worth every penny  of whatever you paid...."
