"Appoquinimink High Students Among Thousands of Delawareans Standing Up to Challenge"

MIDDLETOWN, DE — At first sight, it appeared to be just another school day on Wednesday at Appoquinimink High School as hundreds of students shuffled through the hallways traveling from their regularly scheduled classes to the auditorium for an assembly.
The students, representing all four grade levels, quickly filed to their chairs in an orderly fashion. Once seated, they soon realized that this was not going to be just another “regular” presentation as their peer, Julia Hensley, stood up to the dais and introduced Lt. Governor Matt Denn.
“It’s not complicated,” Denn immediately told the audience. “I think we are beyond using the R-word. And I hope and expect it’s just not acceptable around here.”
The assembly was one of several held throughout the state as part of the annual Spread the Word to End the Word campaign. In its sixth year in Delaware, the day is an opportunity for students and staff in schools at all levels to encourage others to stop using the word “retard” and all forms of it.
“When you use it, it’s like calling someone stupid,” Ryan Taylor, whose sister has Down syndrome, explained to students. “Just last summer, my sister was called the R-word at the pool by some 40-year-old man who didn’t even know her. He judged her based solely on her appearance.”
The crowd sat mesmerized as Ryan, with his sister, Jordan, standing alongside him, talked about her having a job working with legislators in Dover, reinforcing the importance of not judging people on looks alone, but instead treating everyone with respect and dignity.
More than 80 public and private schools statewide, from preschools to universities, joined schools in every state across the nation in a global movement of mutual respect and human dignity. Every school participated in a banner-signing event during lunch periods or at some point in the day, while others supplemented the banner activity with other school-wide initiatives, including hosting assemblies like the one held at Appoquinimink High.
“I think this is very important,” said Melinda Tartaglione, a teacher whose son has an intellectual disability and attends Middletown High. “Even though it’s just one little word, society doesn’t always think about how hurtful it can be. This was a very positive message.”
Students enjoyed watching a short, entertaining video that reinforced an earlier message about how it’s not always the leader that impacts a movement the most, but rather the first person willing to follow the lead.
“I certainly won’t ever use the word,” junior Julia Barba said after seeing the clip. “I never did before but certainly never would now.”
“Today’s presentations just made it clear that all of us are really the same,” junior Maddie Reynolds pointed out. “And that everybody deserves the same amount of respect.”
The final speaker ended her presentation with a question: “Are you brave enough to stand up for change?”
She then followed that up with a challenge: “Stand up, be brave, and join the movement.”
And when the applause died down marking the end of the assembly, hundreds of Jaguar students stood to do exactly that.

These days pedestrians have a tough time on the road. This differently-abled person had a difficult time crossing the road. Even though the traffic signals on the road favored him, people dint stop and the vehicles kept plying on the road. He crossed the road finally when the road looked deserted. Traffic rules could be obeyed at least for the sake of showing concern for these differently-abled.

National Cherry Blossom Festival Bronze Plaque 1912 First Cherry Blossom Plantings Washington DC April 11th 2010
At this site on March 27 1912 Helen Herron Taft and the Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese Ambassador, planted two Yoshino cherry trees on the northern bank of the Tidal Basin, about 125 feet south of what is now Independence Avenue, SW. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the first lady presented a bouquet of "American Beauty" roses to Viscountess Chinda. Washington's renowned National Cherry Blossom Festival grew from this simple ceremony, witnessed by just a few persons. These two original trees still stand several hundred yards west of the John Paul Jones Memorial, located at the terminus of 17th Street, SW. Situated near the bases of the trees is a large bronze plaque which commemorates the occasion.

Behindertengerechte Beleuchtung lässt sich durch Smart Home LED Technologie ohne großen Aufwand realisieren. Der technische Fortschritt bei der LED Beleuchtung ermöglicht es nun, einen wesentlichen Beitrag in Sachen barrierefreies Wohnen zu leisten. Wie kann nun die Smart Home Beleuchtung Menschen mit einem Handikap unterstützen und das Leben durch Installation einer behindertengerechte Beleuchtung vereinfachen?
Das Smart Home Konzept findet immer mehr Einsatz in Bereichen, bei denen es um barrierefreies oder altengerechtes Wohnen geht. Die einfache Form der Steuerung der LED Beleuchtung ermöglicht Menschen, die in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkt sind, die Beleuchtung per Smartphone oder Tablet, oder sogar per Sprache zu steuern.

Einfache Steuerung der Beleuchtung als Erleichterung für behinderte und alte Menschen
Dabei geht es nicht nur das Ein- oder Ausschalten von Licht, sondern auch um die Steuerung der Lichtfarbe oder die Dimmung des Lichtes. Auch die Automatisierung von wiederkehrenden Aufgaben ist mit der Smart Home LED Beleuchtung möglich. Wie das Ganze im einzelnen funktioniert, möchten wir Ihnen im folgenden Abschnitt beschreiben.
Installation und Einrichtung einer behindertengerechten Smart Home LED Beleuchtung
Es gibt im Grunde keine speziellen Installationsanforderungen an eine behindertengerechte Beleuchtung mit der Smart Home Technologie.
Die Installation der Smart Home Beleuchtung gestaltet sich recht trivial. www.lichted.de/led/behindertengerechte-beleuchtung-durch-...

The boys hang out in the workshop in the SCAD school for differently-abled children called Anbu-Illam. The workshop makes a lot of prosthetics for people without limbs, both at the school and in the villages. It is one example of the good work that SCAD is doing to help the people of Tamil Nadu.

16 May 2023, Kakuma, Turkana County, Kenya: Teacher James Lobalu, himself from South Sudan, engages with Wuor Gai – a 24-year-old refugee from South Sudan – during a fourth grade class at Peace Primary School in the Kakuma refugee camp. Gai is blind, but joins regular classes with other students as the school is applying a concept of inclusive education for students with different impairments, as a way of breaking stigma around disabilities. Holding Gai's hands, Lobalu exemplifies rhythms involved in drumming. Run by the Lutheran World Federation, Peace Primary School provides education for close to 4,000 students aged 6-60 across grades 1-8. The school currently supports two parallel curricula, and as not all refugees at Kakuma refugee camp have had access to education during their childhood, some now undertake primary school education as adults.

My friend Marie asked me to make a screen-printable design for the summer camp she works at. Here's how it might look on a T-shirt.

Aren't we all brothers and sisters on this planet Earth? I don't need a religion to tell me to treat others as I would like to be treated. That's the Golden Rule. I'm saddened that Henry's still on the street. You deserve better than this, Sir.
Here's some more pics of Henry here:
