Bowling originated in ancient Egypt over 3200 years ago where a British anthropologist discovered objects used for bowling in a child's grave. It later spread to Germany and then the United States in the 1800s. A bowling lane is 42 inches wide and 60 feet long from the foul line to the pins. The game involves rolling a ball down the lane to knock down 10 pins within 2 tries per frame over 10 frames. There are typically no officials as the electronic scoring and foul line monitoring make judgments unnecessary, with bowlers and coaches policing themselves.
The document discusses proper use of hand tools for computer system servicing.

APM Webinar hosted by the Thames Valley Branch on 14 March 2024.
Speaker: Jade Matos Carew, Head of Digital, Accessibility and Usability, The Open University
What is digital accessibility? (Spoiler: it’s making sure we design and develop websites, systems, and digital content and experiences which are accessible by everyone – including disabled users.) This webinar was held on 14 March 2024.
We took a look at the principles behind it and why it’s vital (and often overlooked) in today’s organisations. We thought about how it can benefit staff, clients and customers, and how ensuring best practice in digital accessibility can act as a strong foundation to help to foster an inclusive and diverse organisational culture. We also considered the practical challenges which are faced when embedding best practice in digital accessibility into ways of working, and how applying change management principles can provide an effective toolkit for approaching and assisting with this.
The Equality Act (2010) broadly protects certain characteristics, including the rights of disabled people so that everyone can have equal access to participate in society. This includes online and digital spaces, and it’s therefore vital to make sure that our organisations, services, digital content, and ways of working are set up in the right way to accommodate the needs of a diverse audience so that everyone can feel included and engaged. This includes considering best practice in a wide range of contexts – from the documents you make and use, the websites you build, the development cycles you follow, to the IT solutions you procure, and the online meetings you host. Good digital accessibility is more than just meeting our legal obligations, it’s the right thing to do. Without an inclusive approach, you could be at risk of excluding people, whether that’s team members, or potential customers.
There are principles, standards, and best practice which we need to follow, and these can often take a certain amount of time, effort, and expertise to interpret, but you don’t have to be an expert to get to grips with the basics. The journey to becoming more accessible is exactly, that – a journey rather than a quick fix. There are ways in which you can embed good digital accessibility into ways of working sustainably and effectively by following small steps to ensure the change management process is as smooth as possible.

These slides were prepared for a workshop on inclusive teaching in Higher Education. Aims: To discuss what you would like inclusion to mean at your university; to raise awareness of the different types of visible and hidden disabilities; to explore inclusive communication and interaction with respect to various types of disability; to brainstorm ways in which staff and students can work together in partnership to foster greater inclusiveness.
This document provides an overview of disability awareness training for cultural institutions. It discusses why institutions should make themselves accessible, including the institutional, economic, and legal perspectives. The economic perspective notes that about 19% of Americans have a disability, representing a large potential market. It also discusses how disability is defined, moving from a medical model to a social model focused on the interaction between individuals and their environment. The document outlines communication strategies for accessibility, including people-first language, and accommodations for different types of disabilities.

Big Talk From Small Libraries 2021
February 26, 2021
http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk
The document provides information on training and technical assistance from the SERVICEandINCLUSION organization regarding inclusion of people with disabilities. Topics covered include person-first language, the definitions of disability, qualified individual, and reasonable accommodation under Section 504 and the ADA. Guidelines are presented for creating a welcoming environment and ensuring equal access for individuals with disabilities.
This 90-minute session is an interactive training designed to educate professionals on how to effectively communicate and feel comfortable while interacting with customers and staff who have disabilities. Also includes need-to-know ADA info for employers.
This document discusses empowering individuals by adapting activities and environments to their needs and preferences. It defines empowerment as giving service users control over their own lives. This can be done by adapting activities and environments to promote involvement and meet physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs. Examples given include modifying facilities for wheelchair access and providing materials adapted for individuals with disabilities. The document stresses the importance of considering an individual's likes and dislikes, as it makes them feel respected when their preferences are met rather than having decisions made for them. Adapting activities and environments promotes independence, self-esteem, involvement in life, and overall well-being.
Assignment #5:
DISABILITY CULTURE PLUNGE
20 points
Overview:
A culture plunge can be defined as exposure to a culture that is different from our own and, in this class specifically, the culture of disability. For some of you, you may already identify as being familiar with disability culture. If so, you will need to explore an arena of disability culture that you are not as familiar with. For many of you though, this may be your first time interacting or being involved with the disability community. Either way, we are very excited to read about your experiences! It is normal for you to feel nervous, intimidated, or even fearful about this assignment, but we hope that this experience proves to be valuable and memorable and that the impact will transcend beyond your time at school.
You are required to engage with individuals who identify as being a part of the Disability Community. You are expected to be respectful and thoughtful with the different organizations and people you come across.
This is not an opportunity for you to be inspired by an individual's ability to do “day-to-day” tasks. It is an opportunity for you to discover how people with disabilities must adapt their lives in order to integrate into their communities. You will be expected to discover what actually “disables” them and what provides them with access. You will discover or enhance your understanding of human connectedness.
Although you may be serving your community at your disability culture plunge event, this is not for the purpose of community service credit. The purpose is to immerse yourself into a culture with which you were previously unfamiliar and to learn from the people of that culture.
As this is a college level course, the expectation is for you to take the ideas we present in class and see how those concepts apply to people who live this experience daily.
Important criteria for culture plunges as described in the course syllabus are:
· The majority or a large proportion of people there identify as someone who is disabled
· This must be a type of experience you’ve never had before
· The plunge takes place after this course begins (credit cannot be given for past experiences)
· You must be focused on qualitative interactions and not on taking notes
· Although the event may be a charity-based event, you are not there out of charity, but out of intrigue and interest in getting to know people with disabilities as equals
· The plunge lasts at least one hour
Ideas for Valuable Culture Plunge Opportunities
You can reference Blackboard for some DCP examples. You are also encouraged to find local organizations in the community that are not listed.
· Disability and LGBTQIA + organizations
· Disability and the farming community
· Homeless population and the variety of disabilities represented
· Adults with developmental disabilities
· Mental Illness and different ethnic groups
· Deaf and hard-of-hearing community
· Adaptive sports opportunities

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

13. 13
Requirement 1a
What is meant by person-first language?
Emphasis on who someone IS first, without defining
them by their disability. (p.8-9)
Say this: Instead of this:
Person with a cognitive delay A retarded or slow person
Person who has a seizure
disorder
Person who has fits
Person with autism Autistic person
People without disabilities Healthy, normal
Person with disabilities Handicapped person
14. 14
Requirement 1a
WHY person-first language?
Don’t say this: Because:
Retarded or slow
person
“Retard” is an outdated and insulting word with multiple
meanings, and cognitive ability has nothing to do with
someone’s speed otherwise
Person who has fits “Fits” is an outdated and insulting word with multiple
meanings.
Autistic person The person is more important than the diagnosis and
should not be defined by it
Healthy, normal Someone who has a disability can still be completely
healthy and live a normal life
Handicapped person
(usually not ok)
A disability is a limiting condition. A handicap is a
restriction or disadvantage. People with disabilities are not
handicapped unless a barrier is in their way.

• Even if it’s the first thing you notice, don’t stare.
• Smile and say hello like always, unless a change is
