Deaf Advocacy

Owning a dog that has no hearing can be both a rewarding and educating experience. Owning a dog that has good hearing and sight can often lead us into being a little lazy, when it comes to establishing effective patterns of communication between us and our pet. For the most part we struggle through with a few voice commands and maybe the occasional hand signal, that often change depending on the situation. Fortunately, in a lot of situations our dogs learn to navigate their way around our impromptu communication style and, begin to 'catch on' to what it is we want from them. Owning a deaf dog however is a different story; many owners of deaf dogs testify to how much their lives have changed since...

When hearing loss strikes, whether it is a gradual onset process or sudden deafness, several emotional stages will follow. Knowing what these stages are and how they might affect you or your loved one will help you understand the process and move through the various stages more easily. What are these stages? Actually, there are five stages here, much as there are five stages in the grieving process. Some experts point out that there are other similarities here, as the person losing their hearing is actually grieving for their lost faculty. Stage One: Denial Denial is the first stage of the process, just as it is with many other traumatic experiences. Losing one's hearing is certainly a traumatic...

The bone anchored hearing aid (or Baha) is a surgically implanted system for treating hearing loss. The system uses direct bone conduction, where sound is conducted through the bone rather than through the middle ear and has been used successfully since 1977. FDA approval in the United States came in 1996, allowing its use as treatment for conductive and mixed hearing loss. The Baha has three main parts. There is an implant, an external abutment and a sound processor. These three parts work together to enhance natural bone transmission and provides a pathway for sound to enter the inner ear that bypasses the external auditory canal and middle ear. The implant consists of a tiny titanium piece...

Hearing problems are quite common after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) because the inner ear is directly connected to the central nervous system. Ringing in the ear (tinnitus) and hearing loss are two of the most widely reported side effects of a traumatic brain injury. Some other hearing problems that may occur following a brain injury include hyperacusis (normal situations seem very loud); difficulty filtering one set of sounds from background noise; and auditory agnosia (also called pure word deafness). Auditory agnosia is a condition in which the person is unable to recognize the meanings of certain sounds. Following a TBI, hearing problems can occur for a number of reasons, both mechanical and...

Dalmatian health issues should not keep you from owning this wonderful breed of dog as they are still extremely healthy dogs as well as very loyal and protective companions. They make excellent guard dogs and terrific family pets. In fact, several experts have claimed them to be almost people like in nature as they absolutely love to be around people and families. Dalmatians are classified as a non-sporting breed primarily because they have a wide variety of talents. In fact, their sense of smell is so strong and defined, that they were used both in World Wars as well as in Vietnam to guard our troops and alert them. Their keen sense of smell also makes them excellent tracking dogs as well as search...

These are the most popular questions that owners ask in regards to the causes of dog deafness. There four different types of genetic defects that affect deaf puppies. The first gene error involves the piebald gene. This is a pigmentation gene, which determines the colour of the dog's coat. The increasing amount of white, in a dog's coat and head increases the likelihood of deafness. The piebald gene is common in the Bull Terrier, Boston Terrier, Samoyed, Greyhound, Great Pyrenees, Beagle, Bulldog, Jack Russel Terriers, Dalmatian...

There are two main types of translators: translators who work with anything written or published, and interpreters, who listen and translate a voice as it is being spoken. Translators may work on software, internet related materials or a variety of documents, including legal, business-related, technical, or “literary” texts, and is generally paid by the word. Interpreters are normally paid by the hour at business conferences, courts or government proceedings. Simultaneous interpreting is probably the most difficult discipline of translation as the interpreters need to be highly trained and fluent to interpret the voice of the speaker in real time. While translators can find their profession very...

Translation Equipment (or to use its more correct names: simultaneous interpreting equipment or simultaneous interpretation equipment) is used in conferences and meetings to convey the voice of an interpreter to the listeners. You've probably seen pictures of the United Nations where the delegates each have a little earpiece – that's translation equipment. Specifically, that's the earpiece attached to the receiver. Here's how it works: At the back of the room (or in an adjacent room) a team of interpreters sits in a sound-dampening booth, listening to the presenter through headphones. They do the hard part: they simultaneously listen and interpret what they hear into another language. Their voice...

The following are 7 sure-fire steps for legal professionals such as attorneys, solicitors, lawyers and barristers wanting successful dealings with an interpreter. Step One Always, always use a qualified, professional and experienced interpreter. A friend's girlfriend who speaks Spanish and lived in Chile for 6 years is not good enough. Even if she has a degree in the Spanish language it does not make her an interpreter. Yes, she would be convenient and cheap, but it could result in evidence thrown out of court, poor communication and downright messy results. Professional interpreters are qualified linguists who do this for a living and understand how to do it well with standards, ethics and due...

We live in an era of unusual disruption of cultures, lives and businesses by technologies. As a little boy, I listened to folklore under the moonlight in my south eastern part of Nigerian village. The elders told the stories of justice, bravery, honor and humanity. There was no cellphone and there was no distraction. Life was under a predictable pattern especially in the evenings when boys and girls will wait in turns to play under the moonlight and receive moral education carefully orchestrated in the stories told by the elders. Every child belongs to the village and parents are nothing but stewards. As we trekked miles to fetch water and firewood for the family cooking, we enjoyed the songs of the...

The need for language translation is felt by numerous companies in different industries. This is especially true for those companies in the corporate world, insurance business, healthcare industry, academic institution and even government agencies. With globalization taking effect, many business companies have become multinational with their presence felt in different countries. There are situations where you have to deal with foreign clients, business partners, customers etc. For example, when you arrange a business meeting you have to hire the service of a language translator as few of the participants may not speak English. Though some companies staff translators and interpreters, it will prove...

e found that most software companies like to promote how easy it is to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD when using their software. Although their products do make this process very easy, I have found that the final video on DVD is worse then the original VHS tape. After trying several common VHS to DVD software products I became frustrated that I could not achieve the original video quality of the original VHS tape. DVD technology surpasses VHS tapes by a long shot and in my mind there is no reason why there should be any degeneration of video quality after the transfer. After much trial and error and hundreds of hours spent I have written this article. This article reviews three (3) popular software...

In the world of interpretation you basically have two modes or types of interpretation. They are simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation. Simultaneous is sometimes also called simultaneous translation or conference interpretation. The most common form of interpretation is consecutive interpretation. In this type of interpretation a speaker says something and then pauses while the interpreter interprets what they said into another language. Then the interpreter stops and the speaker continues with the rest of his or her statement. This pausing is the reason that it is called "consecutive", meaning, one after the other. In situations in which there is more than one person having a...

Interpretation has always been a crucial tool to bridge language gaps and to facilitate effective communications. Whether to use the consecutive or simultaneous interpreter will depend on the requirements of the client. First, let's see the major differences: Simultaneous interpretation The interpreters sit in a sound-proof booth, listen to the speaker through interpretation headsets and interpret on a real-time basis from the source language to the target language. This requires high levels of concentration and it is recommended to have a pair of interpreters to alternate every 15-30 minutes. Simultaneous interpretation is usually ideal for events with a large number of participants broadcasting in...

Interpretation is of two types: simultaneous and consecutive. The term ‘simultaneous interpretation’ is self-explanatory. In it, the interpreter speaks simultaneously, translating to the target language while listening to the original message in the source language. In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter listens to chunks of the message in the original language and interprets at intervals. For this, the interpreter may either take notes (in notations or short forms) so that long passages may be interpreted accurately, or may rely on memory to interpret shorter messages. In a practical context, consecutive interpretation takes place when the interpreter does not have all of the text, but...

If you have just become aware that you have undergone some hearing loss or you have just become able to do something about your condition, you will need to be able to evaluate the different kinds of hearing aids. The National Association For The Deaf and your audiologist will be able to give you some guidance, but it is always best to be able to do your own research as well. Assuming that you are not going to want an ear trumpet, there are three main options: analogue, digital or hybrid hearing aids. The analogue hearing aid is the least expensive of the three and it operates by picking up the sound with a microphone and amplifying it into your ear. Then there is the half-way house hybrid which is...

Children's Charities of America is an organization that was started in the form of unstructured charity groups to benefit children based primarily in America. These charity groups came together and organized joint projects for fund-raising purposes in the mid 1960's. In 1965, Victoria Memorial Hall was used as a venue by the charity groups to host Christmas Fair, which was their very first to organize. The success of this fair drove these charity groups to realize their need to move from working in their unstructured arrangement to form an organization that was more formal. The organization was finally inaugurated in 1966 through the great dedication of the deceased Mr. Francis Thomas the...

On returning home one evening, from a very pleasant social occasion, with people who were in high positions in the land, I said to my wife, "This would be such a lovely world if it were not for sin!" One of the saddest sentences in the entire Bible is to be found in Genesis Chapter 6 and at verse 6. God is sorry that He made man. That was one sad and tragic situation, but it happened to be true! God's emotions have been touched and hurt. He created man, and placed man in the world to enjoy it and to be in control, but things have gone terribly wrong. When certain situations get out of hand, we tend to say - 'O boys will be boys' - or - 'let bygones be bygones'. God does not act like that in the...

"I know God loves me because he gave us our family, sister, mom, dad and dog Sam," says Jeff, age 9. Jeff, I'm glad you mentioned Dad before your dog Sam. "God made me so that I could run, jump and play," says Megan, 9. "He gave me a very lovable and obedient dog." Megan, when you and your dog run, jump and play, do you ever cross paths with Sam? You'll probably find him right beside Jeff. Sometimes, I wonder if God created dogs to teach us about unconditional love and loyalty. Cats -- well, that's some other lesson. Let's get down to basics. Preston, 11, says he experiences God's love "because I get up every day, and I am able to see and move all my body parts." How many of us thank God for body...

Recently I have the privilege to see a movie that I had long since forgotten. See if you don't agree that you can benefit from its lesson. The year was 1962. The movie was The Miracle Worker with Patty Duke as Helen Keller and Anne Bancroft as her teacher Anne Sullivan. This moving drama about Anne Sullivan's struggle to communicate with the deaf and blind Helen Keller is a timeless story of persistence and dedication. As the story unfolds, think about your home based business and how this story relates to you. After an unknown childhood illness, Helen Keller was made deaf and blind by the experience. By the time her teacher Anne Sullivan was hired by her family to deal with her disabilities, Helen...

Do you ever find in life that some things are hard to see and accept? After a two year 'delay' Paul finally arrives in Rome. We read all about in Acts Chapter 28, and after only three days, he is hard at work, using every available opportunity open to him. Paul called for the Jewish leaders in Rome. Why the Jews? He begins first with those who should be able to understand - those of his own background - those who believed in God. He had done this in all the various centres which he has visited over these past twenty or so years. He needed to know the position of the Jewish leadership. This was his method, and it remained unchanged, even after all that they had said about him and against him...

Why it is that so many are deaf and blind to the reality of reincarnation? Why is it that so many have memory of previous lives? How come children are often born with skills they exhibit from infancy and which they have not learned in this life? Why is it that we can visit places we have never been and yet know everything about it? Why are some people more able to experience spiritual things while others deny the existence of any higher being? These are not just questions out of the blue but things that have puzzled me since my own reincarnation. When born with full memory of what it is like to be between lives and to know the Spirit in a way rarely known to others it was my task and my duty to find...

During the holidays most families are spending quality time together, shopping, ice-skating and, of course, children harassing their parents about getting them the latest and greatest toy. It is a special time of year that engenders feelings of hope, happiness and belonging. We are reminded that family is an essential part of our lives and the blessings that come with being part of one. So it is no wonder that during the holidays it can be quite challenging for families going through a divorce. Joyce Brothers once said, "For some reason, we see divorce as a signal of failure, despite the fact that each of us has a right, and an obligation, to rectify any other mistake we make in life." The first...

Christian singles believe that the best thing in this world is to love and to be loved in return. This is the most wonderful possession that money can never buy. However, most people who experienced loving yet failed say they will never love again. This is wrong. It is all because they have loved a wrong person. What Christian singles have experienced can never be called true love because when we say true love, this means an everlasting relationship God has really planned to happen. Break ups and broken relationships should never be perceived as negative thing. It should not be seen as failure and misery but it should serve as a blessing that it is a sign that we haven't yet found the partner God...

16 useful tips for maintaining a healthy spouse relationship [1] Live the law of love. Refrain from saying unkind or negative things... It is most often when a partner harbours hate and revenge deep inside their heart for a certain period of time that widens the gap of misunderstanding. I do feel that sometimes angry or unkind words are spoken when someone is angry or provoked. I presume that these wrong remarks are said without a true intention. Angered phrases never make any sense! Nobody dares say that he or she can remain calm when provoked. To remain unprovoked is really a skill that all of us have to learn. [2] Assume the best of each one another.... No comparison please. This is one of the...

Twenty eight year old Staffordshire housewife Kate Knight has been found guilty of attempted murder after a botched attempt to poison her husband Lee left him partially paralysed, deaf and blind. Cold-hearted Knight administered anti-freeze to her husband's wine on their seventh wedding anniversary. He became unwell shortly after drinking the wine and spent 16 weeks in a coma and hospitalised for a total of six months. He is now registered deaf and blind, has some paralysis and has permanent damage to his kidneys requiring dialysis three times a week. He has also recently had cochlear implants installed to help him communicate more easily. Knight planned the attempted murder for some months before...

When I first heard this I laughed - a perfect marriage, the counselor said was only possible between a blind woman and a deaf man, where the blind wife cannot see the inadequacies of her partner and the deaf man cannot hear her constant grumbling. You and your spouse could have played deaf and blind during your courtship days when both of you dreamt of a perfect relationship. As is evident, today the dream has turned into a nightmare and you are desperate to save your marriage. If the above anecdote made any sense to you, you would have perhaps understood where the fallacy lies. And your marriage is not the only one that has got into trouble for this reason. Hundreds of people make this mistake of...

The Nightmare of Tora-Tora I 1975, in Pasil, Sulu, Philippines - The sky was clear, cloudless and crystal-like. The blazing heat of the sun glittered on the riverbank. But a brief rain shower forced Pindatun and I to stay under  the Wanni tree. Then in a while, an awesome rainbow became visible. “Abdel…Abdel!" A familiar voice echoed from a distance. It was not unusual to hear  babuh Insih calling me that way. Her voice disturbed the flocks that were taking time on top of the Buwahan trees. It was louder than before. “Abs, you are called. We will just continue hunting for birds later in the afternoon," Pindatun suggested. “But I guess it’s not yet time to eat,” I exclaimed.  “Maybe...

The Blind Boys of Alabama have few contenders within the gospel music industry, neither for their longevity spanning, over five generations, nor their contribution to gospel music in general. Their music embodies the black experience in the second half of the twentieth century in the United States. Clarence Fountain, the band's long-time lead vocalist was blind from the age of two and was later sent by his parents to Talladega Institute for the Deaf and Blind near Birmingham, Alabama in 1937. There, he soon joined the school choir and in 1940 formed the Happyland Jubilee Singers with his fellow blind school friends. This group was a forerunner of the Blind Boys of Alabama which was formed in 1948. A...

Production for the film began in November of 2007 and concluded in February of 2008. The film begins with a CIA internal memo being typed across the screen. It states that a man named Arlington Steward has recovered from severe burn wounds and is...

Do you feel like a victim of your circumstances, or are the Master of your Fate? Another way of asking this question is - are you REACTIVE or PROACTIVE? Do you tend to take responsibility for your life - or do you tend to blame other people, things, circumstances if things don't go right for them. Everyone has things that go wrong in their life - it's your response to it, that will determine the effect that the event will have on your life. Helen Keller, who was born Deaf and Blind, did and said many inspirational things in her life, one of which was, "So much has been given to me, I have no time to ponder over what has been denied." She had enough wrong in her life to spend a life time bemoaning...

Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters are the smallest members of the family of Russian Dwarf Hamsters. They are called Robos for short, and any adjective such as short, little, tiny or diminutive is the right way to describe them. At maturity, they measure only two inches in length, approximately the size of a human thumb, and weigh about a half of an ounce. ORIGINS These creatures come from the steppes of Mongolia's Gobi Desert and northern China. They dig steep tunnels that run anywhere from two to six feet underground. Their name comes from the man who first described them in 1894, V.I. Roborovski, an officer in the Russian army. It was only in modern times that Roborovski's namesake was brought to the...

I'm a divorced mother of 3, and I'm always looking for ways to make good money without having to slug it out in the nine to five jungle. I'm typically one of those extremely skeptical people, who totally doesn't believe that there's a way to "get rich quick on the internet". Those ebooks that are so very prevalent online these days are merely a way to make their authors rich, selling us regurgitated useless internet money making "information". Others tell you how to make tons of cash if you;a) Want to live out of your car for a few months or years, orb) already have a trillion dollars to throw into the real estate market. Reinforcing the old saying that "It takes money to make money". One day, while...

I remember as a kid growing up and attending school with a kid who had no arms and one fake leg. His name was Chris and I will never forget him. He attended school with me and my brother and had a strong personality, outside of his handicap he was really a pretty normal kid. He attended most of the same classes and had many of the same friends. But thinking back on his existence, he had to overcome way more obstacles than myself and most other kids at our school. Chris is just one story of many. Recently one of my upline contacts in a network marketing business I was involved in, was very successful and he was blind. We have all probably either heard or seen the movie, "Door to Door" with William...

Prologue Democracy in India - Different viewpoints- [Democracy is viewed as the damsel in distress] For those who have a vested interest in the democratic system of governance SHE is the holy cow! The Marxists to this day believe, SHE cannot deliver the goods. Nevertheless they do contest and get elected to indulge thereafter in back-seat driving so as to undermine HER through techniques handed down to them by their Guru Karl Marx. Naxalites on the other hand seem to be blissfully unaware of the fact communism wherever tried out has miserably failed to deliver the goods. Their behavior reminds one of Sir Winston Churchill's definition for a fanatic. Quote: 'A fanatic is one who cannot change his...
