It was off the hook had over 700 resumes within a few weeks. I want to say having this job change your wife has completely turned around changing face of workplace diversity on Sunday. I will say the name Twiggy is to bring back memories, not just of a certain fashion model, but of a fabled time as well.

This morning Twiggy looks back with our Martha Teicher years ago was the most famous model in the world face the name the 5/16 on much older woman now and I look back, it amazes me that I lose it really because it was bonkers what happened when the 60s ended the Sunday morning Twiggy today. Then it's time for some good clean fun.

I think dancy can play wash work for social John McCain will be laid to rest the US Naval Academy Cemetery comes after the nation bid it's farewell Saturday at the national Cathedral in Washington were a host of prominent Americans on the center including two former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Those who spoke came to the national Cathedral at Sen. McCain's request that we asked him to sit right side-by-side. But as each ascended the pulpit words were there nation with America.

John McCain has no need to make great again because America was always great is God make gather here to American great real Nazi rhetoric from men never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege. He suffered and served McCain's tone, tenor, and even his temper was so by those who sought all. After all, what better way to get the last laugh and make Georgia I say nice things about the national office back in the day he could frustrate me and I know you say the same thing about me, but he also may be better. That's the feeling John McCain is a principal leader.

So much of our politics or public life public discourse seems small in me politics that pretends to be brave and tough. But in fact is more John called on us to be bigger than that call on us to be better than one of his books ended with the words and I moved on. John has moved on, he would probably not want us to dwell on. But we are better for his presence among us world is smaller for his departure and we will remember him as he was unwavering on Dan on something bigger than party renovation money or fame or power. Some things risking everything's best showed us that all were paid from our Sunday morning, September 2, 1969, 49 years ago today.

The day a bank in Rockville center, New York introduced the new face of bank. It was an automated teller machine media operated by cards with magnetic strips widely considered to be the very first of its, those days most banks What can be known as bankers out usually 9 AM to 3 PM Monday through Friday, which of course guaranteeing congestion at the teller window. I was in the teller line.

One day Bill wanting to cash a check to get some money.

The ATM was the brainchild of Don Wetzel recalled his moment of inspiration for our Bill Giese back in 1995 Don Don me to be a better way of doing and so the ATM was born advertisements ballyhooed machines advantages trying to win over resistant customers who prefer dealing with human teller so that everyone was one over by the cash contractions.

Don Wetzel himself told Bill that day is a matter of fact, my life is never used any of other people use the course today for ever more complex and cutting edge transaction in honor of your invention is for ATM Pioneer Don Wetzel.

He was honored by the Smithsonian Institute, 19. Every employee likes to hear someone say the words.

Good work, not just around Labor Day.

But to be a truly valued employee, you first have to be higher which for one group of often underrated folks has been quite a challenge.

Until now 27-year-old Christopher Paul thought he had it all figured out when it came to looking for a job so all of these are all the people he said resumes to yes whoa get a detailed spreadsheet each and every position he applied for many at least 600 but despite his degree in computer science from California Polytechnic State University. He went to years barely a nibble when you get pretty discouraged. My gosh, my morale really start had dropped towards the that there were days where I would either party thought allocations at all are simply not apply anything. He had the smarts for most jobs. He was a former spelling bee champ Christopher struggles with social and communication skills because he's also autistic. Precise numbers are hard to come by. By some estimates, at least 80% of adults with autism are unemployed, even other IQs are often well above average call at night and dreams sometimes their job skills can present themselves in unique way.

Christopher its videogame ability to recognize patterns as acute attention to detail both hallmarks wanted make this please and they are the same skills. He was hoping would impress prospective employee pewter program but he always had to get past that was a challenge to any of those interviews, a time where you just wanted to tell somebody what I know my social skills maybe aren't quite what you expect, like I know I can do this job and I know we can do a really good job if you give me a chance. Yes you never said most the time.

No, because why I just wasn't comfortable come across as desperate Microsoft. However, there was no need to hide his looking for the talent pool that really hasn't been topped Jenny Flory is the chief accessibility officer really is and lost a lot of tension on the table that sent to us that we were missing out we are missing out on an opportunity to bring talent and so the way it sounds like this was almost a business imperative. Hecate people with disabilities are a strength and a full second nature.

In this company, myself included, Flory was profoundly deaf communicates by reading lips and working with an interpreter. She helped create a hiring program for Microsoft in 2015 sites yeah designed to better identify candidates with artistic talents instead of the traditional job interview focusing so heavily on social skills will base the company has replaced it with a vetting process that lasts for weeks and teambuilding exercises like this demonstration called the marshmallow champ being able to watch a candidate in that environment opposed to sitting across the table interviewing them makes all the difference in the world at three different every day in any company annual you can be asked to work with someone else to think about a problem I challenge they're not as self-conscious that they are being observed for a job doing Pat, it's Moscow's after Christopher went through a similar unconventional interview process back in 2016. Microsoft quickly hired as a software engineer like all the is manager printer well since he was immediately impressed by Christopher's out-of-the-box thinking are faced with problems solutions.

Those are some and always calibration of insights and have a creative mind always bring something new to the team, which is exactly why you that's what you're looking for an idea of it's catching on last year 50 big-name companies, including J.P. Morgan for Ernst & Young came together for a summit on how to bring more autistic adults into the workforce. We know it SAP that innovation really happens at the edges.

It was hosted at the Silicon Valley campus of German software maker SAP. SAP was one of the first large companies to reach out to the artistic community. It started its autism network program five years ago and since then he's hired 140 people on the spectrum with the goal of hiring more than 600. I have been in this industry for close to 30 years and I can tell you is probably the single most rewarding program that I have been involved with Velasco heads the program. The biggest surprise for him.

He says has been the variety of candidates apply very quickly without getting restless from people that have degrees in history and literature in graphic design attorneys hold wide array of jobs are really thinking that people without is only good at certain jobs. This which ended up discovering as they get older they are good at just about every role they're expected to perform in those roles just like anyone and everyone speaks English and Mike's rescue for examples hired three years ago and works in cybersecurity and SAP's office outside Philadelphia. We were visiting, because I was helping my get ready for a long stent at the company world headquarters in Germany. If you would've told me six years ago that we would have an employee who was openly autistic in the company going on a business trip to Germany for four months, I would've have not believed I'm still looking to the document. Almost everyone is been surprise, he said he points to 26-year-old Gloria Mendoza, you should see some of the videos I had when I was a child I was not very socially skilled with the other kids not showing interest with other people displaying some of the challenging behaviors that a child in the autism spectrum would have when she was beginning to worry so much because I never thought she would sell electric her parents, Rosario, and Henrique Mendoza help get Gloria years of speech and occupational therapies as well as access to top doctors. Gloria made huge strides in her childhood but her parents were still concerned about how autism might affect her future about the life aquatic is independent. She made it through both high school and college back she got to degrees from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania one in music is a beautiful singing voice and another sign and yet year after graduating hundreds of resumes later. She still couldn't find a job until she applied to SAP. Probably the best part about working here is that I can use the skills which I have studied whilst being among people that understand who I am and Helen different from everybody else. SAP put Gloria through five weeks of training which included working on her social skill. George is now in something called digital business service now. Are there any more. Further questions or incidents you want me to where she deals directly with customer was the one dream they really want. Probably that I can be really up there in my department earning a lot of money and still keeping the friends that I have friends or mostly coworkers in the autism program and they try to get together regularly.

This is how you place never really had that many friends when I was younger and having this wide variety of friends that understand makes all the difference for me. How so because I can express myself in ways that people and it turns out that a lot of people have common interests, as I do see people's retention rate of about 90%. Autistic employees are that maybe the fact that there just set adrift in the workplace will each participant in the program is assigned a mental from within the company's are like an on-site guardian angel said he felt pretty comfortable and good to go.

So far Gabby Robertson calling as a cousin spectrum volunteered to work with Gloria. It's just that the rewards of getting to be friends with these colleagues have autism.

Not something you get your typical corporate day-to-day experience. Chris Microsoft also has mentors lunch Melanie karma seen on works with Christopher as a personal connection as well.

She has a son who's autistic. What if you take away from this whole experience personal hope. I think that this program gives hope to the autism community gives hope to parents like me and gives hope to people like my son that a company can and will look past their differences and see their gifts and and let them contribute to society just like everybody else, is now independent living on his own in a high-rise apartment something he's always wanted to ask how much are you making doing pretty good. Yes give her magic to be making as much money no honestly, I would've been happy with like half.

Moneymaking now the car drives himself first time he says looks forward to arriving in a place he's accepted for who you shuffle the deck. He knows there are still challenges ahead. Given a chance to prove his worth. Since Christopher is given him optimism. He never if other kids or young adults or adults with autism are watching this what you put your message. Don't give up and make sure it's always in high.name in the middle no shoot for the stars every time you never know what might happen before there were podcasts there was television.

Remember, see what's new under the sun every Sunday morning. The artwork of the great painter Vincent van Gogh is left one Florida family starstruck not to mention almost homeless department has their story just Gretzky and Nancy Nam Hauser of Mount Dora Florida say it was the strangest thing they notice their 25-year-old autistic son ship kept opening the same art book kept turning to the same page and kept staring into the same starry night and to comfort him, and that there is not a whole lot that helps. We have to capitalize on whatever we can use which is why they hired someone to paint a huge starry night inspired mural on the wall in front of their house ship loved the city did not last year. This citation showed up at the door. It said graffiti is prohibited.

And until the van Gogh was Van God.

The family could be fined as much as $250 a day, up to the value of the house with a prank.

And then I thought it was in the stake so they asked the code enforcement officer, which is what we have to do to fix this and she said the wall has to match the house you know she meant for you to repaint the wall to match the house. We followed the instructions they did follow the instructions today. The wall definitely matches the house. But despite their cynical compliance, or perhaps because of it. The couple's legal problems only intensified. Next, the city said the mural needed to come down for a second reason violated a sign ordinance sign that was their new argument. This is a sign to sign Mount Dora Mayor Jerome, a violation of the sign ordinance based on the fact that had squiggly.

It had squiggly's quickly find that for as one of the circle probably have van Gogh did a lot of this is what the family was up just like which is why even though they knew their son would be disappointed. Nancy Lubec almost painted it over and surrender white and the turning point for you I think was when young girl her allowance to help us to fight to keep even if it was in the house so be it. The Lubec especially the mural had become a First Amendment issue, and eventually the city sought that way to. Last month the mayor conceded and publicly apologized to the benefit of all concerned. Today those once scorned, squiggles are now a tourist attraction with people visiting from around the world. Why do you think people are drawn to some of them went to crazy people are willing to call us. Why freedom of speech on full display under the sun splashed starry night coming soon obituaries a podcast on matters of death and life from Mo Rocca clean fun musical sort is what, Nitin found a recent journey is not, although one is all that I have like washboard music Festival is a chance to celebrate the small-town small business located is home to the last washboard manufacturer left in America. I just don't want to keep going as long as we can. We just want to keep it alive.

All of Jackie Barnett has always had a thing for machinery and old traditions, Ohio in 1980 was working as a seamstress. She got a call about a business opportunity that might be right up her alley. A friend in Columbus called us and said is this really neat business, close down and we think he has been shed look at and we asked him what it was and he said washboard company and unlike anybody acid wash the Columbus washboard company was founded in 1895. Keep in mind washboard.

Once everyone from housewives at its peak, the company was shifting over units that was selling washboard light of the country they would be trains coming into the back of the factory picking up large shipments of washboard's everybody used them and then a newfangled machine came along and changed everything.

You know finding our electric washing machine close were dated water seem like too much work, so one by one American washboard factories went out of business. Barnett couldn't resist the opportunity to buy the last one last, but after she took over the business in 1999 and moved to Logan. She started noticing customers had no interest in washing you have any idea what percentage are being purchased for musical use.

We believe about 40%. Washboard is a musical instrument is believed to have originated on southern plantations. When slaves would make music with whatever tools were available in the 19 Thirties Way to mainstream musical acts washboard playlist simple. Avoid hurting your finger, there are washboard as an instrument can also contain a laundry list of accessories that wash and promote ice cream cart alarm bell test.

That's all washboard. Hank makes his living as a full-time washboard musician, although he says he does not do it for the money. No, no, I don't have a washboard shape. What are the reactions you get the thing that we start planning. On and I thought that's a good thing to do. Clearly Jackie Barnett agrees genomics boards with stainless steel stand up to more rigorous playing lately but she still makes washboard washing sometimes for soldiers overseas so we everything including instructions on how to washboard one at no charge to the soldiers. It's all done with donation company also gives popular for visitors to see was like for this site is one of these days when I have to use them again.
