Both teams are in the "Power" group of the eight-team event. All eight teams are receiving $1 million for their name, image and likeness (NIL) collectives, but placing fourth or higher in the tourney in order will net them anywhere from $1.1 million to $1.5 million. The Aggies (4-1) opened the season with a three-point loss at UCF, but since then have won four straight, all in convincing fashion. Texas A&M upset then-No. 21 Ohio State 78-64 on Nov. 15 at home in College Station, Texas. Then the Aggies crushed Southern 71-54 last Wednesday, when Wade Taylor IV led the way with 17 points and six assists. All of Texas A&M's wins have been by double digits. The Aggies and Ducks (5-0) have split the two previous meetings against each other. Until March 2022 in an NIT second-round game, they had not met since the 1970-71 season. Texas A&M tied the overall series with a 75-60 win at home in 2022. The only player on the Ducks' current roster who played in that game was 7-foot senior Nate Bittle, who has been one of Oregon's best players so far this season. Bittle's 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game lead the Ducks so far this season, and the big man also averages two blocked shots per game. Texas A&M guard Zhuric Phelps, a transfer from SMU, leads the Aggies in scoring at 16 points per game. Taylor adds 14 points per game. The Aggies could be the best defensive team the Ducks will have seen this season. A&M is allowing teams to shoot only 36.6 percent in games. Head coach Buzz Williams and his staff are hoping the team gets better at taking charges on defense, as the Aggies have just one so far this season. "I guess the thing that you work on most is verticality around the rim," Texas A&M assistant coach Steve Roccaforte told KBTX television. "‘Hey, once you get there, if you try and take a charge, it's going to be a block. Just jump as high as you can, stay vertical, try to go chest-to-chest. Make it a hard shot.'" Oregon is coming off a 78-75 win at Oregon State, the Ducks' first road game of the season. The Ducks trailed by 10 points at halftime but, as they have in several games this season, they found a rhythm on offense in the second half and came up with a comeback win. Bittle's 23 points and 14 rebounds led the way. Jackson Shelstad had 15 points and Jadrian Tracey and Keeshawn Barthelemy both added 10. "We started rebounding the ball a little better. Nate really got it going inside and our guys got him the ball," Oregon head coach Dana Altman told the school's athletics website. "He had a heck of a game." --Field Level Mediafc188.ph 。

Louis Braille lost his sight in childhood, but that didn’t stop him from reshaping the lives of millions. At just 15, he developed the Braille system, enabling blind people to read, write, and access education. This tactile script represents independence, allowing users to participate fully in the world. Braille is more than dots on paper; it’s a bridge to knowledge, careers, and creativity. From books to signage, it ensures blind people can navigate life with dignity. Yet, even today, access to Braille materials remains limited in many parts of the world. While digital technology has expanded options for the blind, Braille remains essential for literacy and empowerment. Braille Day serves as a call to action, reminding governments, organisations, and people to ensure that this fundamental tool reaches everyone who needs it. A blind person once told the writer that society has long misunderstood disabilities, often seeing them as barriers rather than differences. He added that blind and visually impaired people frequently face stereotypes that underestimate their abilities. “We are often perceived as helpless or less capable, when in reality, many excel in fields as diverse as music, technology, law, and sports.” Think of legendary figures like Stevie Wonder, a musical genius, or Helen Keller, who became an author and activist despite being both blind and deaf. Their achievements highlight a universal truth: disability does not equate to inability. What people with disabilities often lack are not skills or talent but opportunities and equitable access. The responsibility lies with all of us to change this narrative. By focusing on abilities rather than limitations, we create a world where everyone’s potential can shine. The first step is dismantling biases and recognising that people with disabilities are talented, resourceful, and capable of extraordinary accomplishments. Why kindness matters Being kind to differently abled people isn’t about pity or charity—it’s about empathy and respect. Disabilities can present challenges, but they don’t define a person. Kindness bridges gaps and fosters understanding. It’s the small gestures—a helping hand, accessible communication, or simply treating someone with dignity—that make a world of difference. Kindness also involves advocating for inclusivity. Accessibility isn’t just about building ramps or installing Braille signage. It’s about designing systems, spaces, and experiences that allow everyone to participate equally. From inclusive education to workplaces that embrace diversity, kindness must be reflected in actions as much as words. Differently abled people often develop remarkable skills that others overlook. Blind people, for example, may have heightened auditory or tactile senses, enabling them to excel in music, craftsmanship, or science. Many also bring unique perspectives to problem-solving, finding innovative ways to tackle challenges. Their stories inspire, but more importantly, they demand respect and equality. These talents don’t stem from disability itself but from determination, resilience, and creativity. Society benefits when it provides platforms for these talents to flourish. Creating a more inclusive world The key to a kinder, more inclusive world lies in understanding and acceptance. This starts with education—teaching children that differences enrich our communities rather than divide them. Celebrating Braille Day in schools and workplaces can spark conversations about inclusivity and the contributions of differently abled people. We must also push for systemic changes. Governments and organisations need to prioritise accessibility, whether that means producing more Braille books, improving public infrastructure, or enforcing inclusive workplace policies. While progress has been made, much work remains to ensure that differently abled people enjoy the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Living by example Change begins at the individual level. Challenge yourself to break out of preconceived notions about disability. Learn about the barriers differently abled people face and consider ways to make your environment more inclusive. Be mindful of language—terms like “differently-abled” or “people with disabilities” emphasise personhood over impairment. Listen to their experiences, support their endeavours, and celebrate their successes. Whether it’s a colleague excelling at work, an artist showcasing talent, or a neighbour navigating life with grace, acknowledge their contributions without condescension. Braille Day isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s a chance to ponder on how far we’ve come and how much farther we need to go. It’s a celebration of human ingenuity and resilience, embodied by Louis Braille’s legacy. It’s also a call to action—a reminder that we must continue building a world where everyone has the tools to thrive, regardless of ability.
