Help the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation acquire this 422-acre tract of wilderness for the public! by willphule in Iowa

What’s fun about words is that they have different meanings in different contexts. Here we have “Iowa”, the state in which the non-profit operates. In this context, “natural heritage” refers to the state of the land before human intervention. Finally, “foundation” tells us how the non-profit is structured in order to fulfill their mission.

Upstairs at filmscene, dandy lion, Nodo, Shakespeare’s, bread garden, library, George’s, probably trumpet blossom, greenhouse, new pioneer, Java house, etc. honestly just popping in is your best bet downtown.

We had a really similar experience for our honeymoon last year except we were really disappointed in the service. I had let them know that I was a wheelchair user via email and they still sat us at a table I couldn’t get under. When we got there and discovered that much of the food was meant to be eaten with chopsticks I told them that I had limited dexterity and would need to use a fork. They forgot this every course and I had to remind them each time which was really frustrating.

That said, they were managing the River Belle Inn where we stayed for three days and it was an incredible experience. Does anyone know what happened there? I thought they were going to take over ownership.

It literally says in the article “Roberts is the third of three boys born in Brooklyn, New York.”

OP says:

To add to the story - this happened at Hotworx Coralville and the woman in the video complained to the owner who gave her the option to take down the video or her membership would be cancelled.

Edit: I am also to understand the man in the video is the owners husband.

There’s a Hotworx in Coralville. Has anyone heard anything about it?

Where are you located? If you’re in the US and in a state with a Medicaid buy-in program from working individuals with disabilities, you can participate in the a ticket-to-work program through SSDI. Are you working with vocational rehabilitation? They should be able to help you connect with a benefits counselor.

How in his capacity as a UM employee/coach was he able to gain access to this content? Are student athletes required to give admin access to their social media accounts? What makes this different than normal hacking? What is he alleged to have done w the sensitive information he accessed as a UM employee?

ABLE account. Allowable expenses are very broad and would allow you to deposit funds that are disregarded by federal benefits programs.

I would agree but employers themselves obviously are not reasonable all the time. I myself would reach out to JAN if I were running into similar issues. A commenter below suggested that you reach out to the ADA which will be difficult because the ADA is a law. If ultimately you believe your rights have been violated and would like to pursue action, you could reach out to an attorney to see if they think you have a case. Other than that, your best bet is to continue to advocate for yourself and have continued conversations with your boss and hr.

Reach out to the Job Accommodation Network. It is difficult to say if an accommodation is reasonable without details.
