So, in April of 2005, I heard that Apple had included VoiceOver, their screen access solution, as a part of their latest version of OS X, called, Tiger. Frankly, it has simply come with the territory that I had to become much more familiar with the nuts and bolts of the operating system and applications and their interactions with the operating system, and not a case of me trying to brag or boast. I have conducted my daily business tasks and my personal hobbies via a computer, and, to be honest, I have to say that my proficiency in utilizing a computer is probably more advanced and technical than most sighted folks by necessity more than by choice. All along, I dealt with the unexpected and frustrating crashes, the constant concerns for security, viruses and spyware, and all of the other insane elements of using a Windows computer that folks have seemingly just come to accept as the “norm”. Simultaneously, I made the jumps from Windows 95 to Windows 98 to Windows ME to Windows 2000 and then Windows XP (I won’t touch Windows Vista at this point at all). Well, Window-Bridge became JAWS for a while, which eventually became Window-Eyes for my screen access use as the years passed and screen reader technology progressed. I won’t try to convince anyone that it was an easy or smooth transition, yet I persisted and slowly became more and more comfortable with the whole experience to the point in which I was soon giving technical support help to customers. Slimware Window-Bridge was my screen reader of choice, which I literally learned at the same time as Windows 95 completely on my own without training. At that time, it happened to be Windows 95, and after all the horror stories I had heard and warnings from other blind people about trying to use a GUI, I was extremely uncomfortable and apprehensive. In 1996 or so, I reluctantly took the leap from DOS and command line computer use to Windows. Below are some of my reflections on this subject, which I hope might help or assist, or, at the very least, give encouragement to current or future switchers. Reading about the common problems and difficulties and, of course, successes encountered by new Mac users has prompted me to think about my own personal experiences involved in learning VoiceOver and the Mac. This is, in no way, an attempt at a tutorial or any kind of technical document. Note that this article was originally written shortly after the release of OS 10.4 and the birth of VoiceOver.Īs blind users investigate or actually make the switch from Windows to the Mac, there has been a lot of discussion about the aspects of this change on the blind Mac users email lists. Making the Jump Out of Windows: My Experience as a Switcher to the Mac This page will offer general commentaries or non-specific posts that still pertain to accessibility on the Mac or iDevices which might not directly relate to any specific topics covered in the other pages on this site.

Redskins: RG Tony Bergstrom left with a knee injury. Redskins punter Tress Way threw a 7-yard pass to Jehu Chesson on a fake punt on fourth-and-2, but Johnson followed with three straight incomplete passes and Way had to punt. The 19 plays were the most in a drive against Washington since 1999. The nearly 12-minute drive by Philadelphia was the longest in the NFL since the Browns had a field-goal drive that lasted 12:01 against the Chiefs in 2015. It was Philadelphia's first shutout since a 27-0 win over the Giants on Oct. The Redskins hadn't been shut out since losing 24-0 to the Rams on Dec. Rasul Douglas intercepted Johnson on the first play from scrimmage. "They did what good teams do and took care of business," Johnson said. Josh Johnson, making his third start for the Redskins after Alex Smith and Colt McCoy sustained season-ending injuries and Mark Sanchez was ineffective, was 12 of 27 for 91 yards and one pick. Sudfeld hit Agholor on a catch-and-run TD to extend the lead to 24-0 in the fourth. On the previous play, Foles had a chance to break the completion record but misfired on a pass to Agholor. Foles was 10 of 10 on the drive and the Eagles converted three times on third downs and once on fourth-and-1.įoles connected with Nelson Agholor on a 6-yard pass to make it 17-0 late in the third quarter. He tossed a 2-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery to cap a 19-play, 87-yard drive that took 11:49 in the second quarter, giving Philadelphia a 10-0 lead.

"It just wasn't a good enough year for us," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. The Redskins (7-9) lost six of seven after leading the NFC East at 6-3. Philadelphia's defense held Washington to only 89 yards total offense. The Eagles dominated the Redskins, controlling the ball for 43:19. He set a franchise record for yards passing in a game with 471 in a 32-30 comeback win last week against Houston.

"It was exciting," Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. They watched the final minutes together in the locker room and then celebrated. Some players noticed the score while others didn't. I wanted to stay focused on winning this game." "I looked away," Foles said about seeing the Bears-Vikings score on the scoreboard. Philadelphia fans filled FedEx Field, sang "Fly! Eagles! Fly!" and chanted "Let's Go Bears!" There were several thousand empty seats and Redskins fans could only cheer for the Vikings to spite Eagles fans. Sudfeld fired a 22-yard TD on his only pass.

She is not an option for first-time dog owners. She has been shuffled around in homes where she was not given much guidance. Maple can be very sweet, however, know that she will need to adjust to new adopters, learn about her new home, & be given direction/training & attention (only 1.5 years old) to ensure wanted behavior. She has NOT been around many other dogs, therefore, she would do best as a single dog or with a home willing to take time with v-e-r-y slow introductions to a new doggie sibling. She does love respectful children & will snuggle in bed with them. A fenced backyard is a must if you don't walk. She is very strong, so the adopter has to have good arm/hand strength (strength workout if not). She will bark & chal lenge strangers, so leash greetings are best. Maple claims her property, home & people so is an excellent watchdog. Therefore she would do well with a family who works from home or is home most of the day. If left out, she entertains herself in creative redecorating ways, if you get my drift. She does well if the baby is gated in a room when you leave but for short time periods. She doesn't like crates (breaks out of them), lawnmowers, weed eaters, or being left alone. Her fall favorites are being outside, belly rubs, tennis balls (one throw & they are hers to run with), chew toys, people and naps (she snores!) Maple has some things she doesn't like as well (don't we all?). Her name is Maple- as in syrup and she has the right coloring to be true to her name.

Sidetalk has been there to document a lot of it. Such was life in the manic days of late 2021 in New York City as COVID restrictions loosened, vaccines were boosted, and the town’s 20-somethings were making up for 18 months’ worth of lost time. The joke, or shtick, in the video, is simple but effective: New York Knicks fans are sick-wicked and insane for a historically dismal team that went on to finish 11th place in the NBA’s Eastern Conference after that opening night high. Is not Cuvier the greatest poet of our century? Certainly Lord Byron has expressed in words some aspects of spiritual turmoil but our immortal natural historian has reconstructed worlds from bleached bones.” “Have you ever plunged into the immensity of space and time by reading the geological treatises of Cuvier? Borne away on the wings of his genius, have you hovered over the illimitable abyss of the past as if a magician's hand were holding you aloft? As one penetrates from seam to seam, from stratum to stratum and discovers, under the quarries of Montmartre or in the schists of the Urals, those animals whose fossilized remains belong to antediluvian civilizations, the mind is startled to catch a vista of the milliards of years and the millions of peoples which the feeble memory of man and an indestructible divine tradition have forgotten and whose ashes heaped on the surface of our globe, form the two feet of earth which furnish us with bread and flowers.A season and a quarter later, the video, created by the YouTube channel Sidetalk NYC, has 2.3 million views. It all began with Sidetalk, the brainchild of NYU students Jack Byrne and. “…the rising movement of romanticism, with its characteristic idealism, one that tended toward a black-and-white view of the world based on those ideas, preferred for different reasons that women remain untinged by “masculine” traits of learning.

Or you can just use good ol’ curl it works really well! If you go with Axios dont’ forget to pass the configuration option withCredentials: true, this will allow the client to send cookies along when doing CORS requests. If you are using a web frontend library like Axios, then your browser’s developer tools should be enough: The two most popular ones seem to be Postman and Advanced Rest Client I tested both of them and I can say liked neither -at least on their Chrome app incarnations- as one didn’t display cookie info, and the other didn’t send declared variables on POST requests. You might need to get a REST client so you can try out your API endpoints.

For this reason, the AADA recommends that sunscreen be worn at all times of the day, year-round. It’s important to note that on cloudy days, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays are still able to penetrate the skin. The philosophy behind high SPFs-like 80 or 100-is mixed, but all skin care experts agree that SPF 30 is the minimum to protect your skin from damage. The number beside SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, represents how effective the sunscreen is at protecting the skin against sunburn. It also notes to use a sunscreen that is water resistant with SPF 30 or higher. The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) recommends use of sunscreens that offer broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. And sunscreen’s emulsion-the lotion or cream-is what helps to carry the active ingredient and keep it on your skin. UV reflectors-oxides like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide-work to block UV rays. UV absorbers take in the UVA and UVB rays and convert them to low levels of heat. According to Yale Scientific, the active ingredient features mineral or chemical particles that work to reflect and absorb UV radiation, respectively. It consists of two primary components: an active ingredient and an emulsion. Enter your magical savior: vegan sunscreen. According to the World Health Organization, one in three cancers diagnosed is a form of skin cancer.īut skin cancer is also among the most preventable cancers. When the UV rays penetrate cells’ DNA, the skin is more susceptible to skin cancer. Too much exposure to the sun’s radiation damages cells, which leads to discoloration and premature aging. The sun does emit UVC rays however, although they are the most dangerous, they are absorbed by the ozone. No wonder it just makes us feel good!īut sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) radiation that features different types of sun rays, namely UVA and UVB rays. Exposure to the sun helps to increase the production of serotonin, a mood-boosting chemical in the brain. And studies have even linked vitamin D deficiency to depression. Vitamin D also promotes a healthy immune system. It helps the body to convert cholesterol to vitamin D-a fat-soluble vitamin that’s crucial for building strong bones and teeth. Moderate exposure to sunlight certainly has its benefits. We have offerings for every skin type, too, so go ahead and find your new beach bag staple! The truth about sunscreen With a much-too-anxious nod to our favorite season approaching, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to vegan sunscreen-because cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly is the way Mama Earth intended. Sunscreen is essential to any skincare routine year-round (yes, you can get sunburned on a cloudy day), but it’s especially important during the summer months. The sun is responsible for life on Earth-and, oh, how we yearn for a bit of her warmth and glow. A year of looking at the same four walls has most of us craving some quality time with that big, fiery star in the sky. |
