You're banned! At The Rim She swore at an idiot now banned, how many of us have been taunted to do that! The poster needs to ID trhe site as one to avoid. We need deaf and HoH to know we aren't' going to tolerate these people their sites or their 'Trump democracy'. When you see some of the stuff that is posted then see someone has been banned for something pretty harmless it ... Fri, Jan 15 2021 The Deaf Way to endorse abuse. At The Rim It has to be said the isolated nature of the 'Deaf' communities, and some accepted 'norms' borders on real neglect of women's rights to their detriment. There is almost an incestuous nature of the communal makeup where a dearth of females can mean they get 'passed around' the deaf menfolk, women may feel that is still their choice to choose a partner, but that 'ch... Thu, Jan 14 2021 I need an ID, so what am I? At The Rim I know it might sound silly, but i don't know anything about hearing loss etc, so now there have said I've got mild-moderate hearing loss does this get classed has partiality deaf??? , I'm really sorry if it's a daft question To be or not to be seen, appears to be your question. I don't envy the poster wondering what on earth his 'classification' is, just pick 'n... Wed, Jan 13 2021 Kids, can YOU design a cure for deafness? At The Rim (Now all we need is a cure for the negatives...). A global competition inviting children aged 6-12 to create an invention for people with hearing loss closes this coming Sunday 17th January. The annual, worldwide search from leading provider and inventor of hearing implant systems, MED-EL, invites youngsters to create their very own design which will impr... Tue, Jan 12 2021 Lost to deaf culture. At The Rim And nowhere else to go? Why hearing loss awareness has failed worldwide, and people unable to find their place in the world are hosting unrealistic expectations of integrating with someone else's culture, adopting another language, and living another person's lifestyle. It doesn't happen, does it? So you live a life of frustration instead? All you can do is ... Mon, Jan 11 2021 There is no Deaf community. At The Rim Only deaf communities. At least this buries the myth of all deaf sign and all deaf together, doesn't it? We are as discriminating as any hearing person is. It also explains in practical terms why deaf inclusion is entirely relative, it doesn't rely on education or even signed support. Current issues are that everybody is being enabled to exclude by right of th... Mon, Jan 11 2021 The Deaf Cure, yes or no? At The Rim It is surprising there are still huge distortions being aired by Deaf signers online regarding the 'Cure' or indeed, any form of alleviations on deafness or hearing loss. A lot in this video is actually misleading, and incorrect. One contributor was annoyed an option to ascertain in the womb of a child had Down's syndrome, or deafness etc, there isn't an accurate ... Sun, Jan 10 2021 Cultural awareness a myth? At The Rim We note there are still certain deaf areas insisting deafness and sign language solely belongs to them, only deaf people can sign and only certain deaf are actually that. When the world was young, the born deaf or those with nil useful hearing ended up in an institution or deaf school apart from everyone else, which allowed a culture of sorts to be honed in isolat... Sat, Jan 09 2021 Happy birthday CEEFAX! At The Rim Lots of older deaf people in the UK will remember when CEEFAX was launched on this day 1978 and how it influenced awareness and access for 1,000s of isolated deaf people, (who recently opposed the removal of its text services on the BBC). Here, we see someone who has actually established a similar version. A software engineer has recruited a team of dedicated v... Sat, Jan 09 2021 Selective Listening. At The Rim No, not 'hears when he wants to..' but asking why recorded sound or live sound output via listening equipment like TVs, radios, etc don't have a more selective sound 'edit' option as a norm? There has been a growing interest in addressing sound output on TV's. Because of the variances in what we can hear and follow via sound, it is suggested we lobby TV manuf... Fri, Jan 08 2021 The future of hearing healthcare.. At The Rim How do you see the future of hearing health care? This is a difficult question, but one that Ida Institute is tackling in its Future Hearing Journeys project. In December, Ida organized two online innovation workshops with stakeholders from around the world to examine the trends that will affect hearing health care. I was pleased to participate and represent... Thu, Jan 07 2021 Democracy has failed... At The Rim The US Congress certified Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election, hours after Trump supporters stormed the building in an attack that saw four people die. Lawmakers resumed the session after police managed to remove the mob, which had been encouraged by President Trump in a bid to overturn his defeat. SOURCE Sad that across the pond in the USA, democra... Thu, Jan 07 2021 Half of deaf children get no support. At The Rim To be scrupulously fair hearing children are suffering too, covid isn't just affecting those who can hear. One in two deaf children in England are not getting necessary specialist teaching support since returning to school in September, The Independent can reveal, amid warnings that pupils with hearing loss are at risk of falling behind. Before the pandemic, about... Sun, Jan 03 2021 Amen to that At The Rim SONGS OF PRAISE Who would true signing see, Let him come hither; BSL will our constant be, Come wind, come weather There's no discouragement Shall make the BDA relent It's first avowed intent To worship Paddy. Who so beset us round With signed English stories Do but themselves confound; BSL the more is. No orals can us fright, We'll si... Thu, Dec 24 2020 Deaf taking a 'STAND' At The Rim The thing about demanding realism is that it also requires an image of people will pay to see, and the suitability for the part offered. I'm deaf but obviously cannot apply for an actor's job because I am unqualified for it. The consensus of opinion is diversity and rights WON'T automatically mean you can get a job beyond your capability, but it has always been th... Wed, Dec 23 2020 Beyond the 'Hive' At The Rim Oops ATR on the defensive as Deaf defending their ID insist being deaf is all and there is no individual just a 'HIVE' of some kind? Obviously 'Just' being deaf isn't enough.... you have to play follow the leader as well. So OK WHO do I have to talk to? #1 Doesn't the person come first not the disability? I'm myself first and foremost deafness is just one realit... Mon, Dec 21 2020 Did Boris really stop BSL being used? At The Rim In a response [published below] apparently not. Regular readers will know ATR published a link to BSL signed coronavirus proceedings during the very first public announcements on TV in March/April this year, (See the proof above), subsequently publishing links to other sources, but charities chose to not look, and ignore the evidence. ATR offered the BDA social me... Sun, Dec 20 2020 Deafies complain about hearing actors At The Rim Playing deaf people.... not everyone agrees. #1 In the book when Nick meets Mother Abigail in his dreams he can talk and hear fine so a deaf actor would not work. Funny though as well how Larry Underwood is white in the book but black in this version yet no uproar from anyone about that. #2 I think it would be easier for the director to convey his wishes to a h... Sat, Dec 19 2020 Veni, Vedi, Vici! At The Rim (A bit of the Latin to make this blog look more educated than it actually is). It is based on a recent Xmas letter response sent o along suffering relative. Hola fellow sibling! As you rightly pointed out on your recent recycled Xmas missive, Wales is in the doo-doo at present, but as you will know welsh people tend to not be told anything so we have en... Fri, Dec 18 2020 EU last handout to promote signed access. At The Rim The issue is really will they use the access it may provide? or still maintain their status quo? Or refrain of outrageous claims the UK has 87,000 daily BSL users? (Which won't get any of it because we have left the EU and it looks like no deal is possible). We don't know the 'Irish' situation but the UK part (Northern Ireland), has never received any... Sat, Dec 12 2020 My least favourite things. At The Rim If music truly be the food of love, then for god's sake up the volume a bit. My least favourite things. Deafhood on deaf blogs, Audism on web sites, Confusing viewpoints, on rights and empowerments, Facebook meanderings, deaf twittering strings These are the least of my favourite things..... Blogging and Tweeting, and vlogged sign language My mode i... Thu, Dec 10 2020 UK Welfare dept offers signed access. At The Rim Deaf claimants and those with hearing loss can now access British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters across all Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) helplines and services. The Video Relay Service, rolled out for Universal Credit in April, has been extended to all its 62 benefit-related lines and services. The Video Relay Service allows users to make BSL interpreted... Mon, Dec 07 2020 Post covid deaf communities. At The Rim I wonder what deaf are doing with all these clubs closed and social interaction limited at present? I think covid has to refocus deaf priorities and its near-total reliance on other deaf for a social life has to change. Even when covid is tamed there won't be much of a deaf norm to go back to. E.G. Small clubs may never re-open, larger ones will have to opera... Sat, Dec 05 2020 ASL/BSL and English At The Rim As a deaf person myself, we all deaf people who live in the US using two languages 24/7. The first language is ASL (American Sign Language) and the second language is English. We are ”switching our brain” daily and 24/7 for two different communities: hearing and deaf because hearing is using the English language and deaf is using ASL. ATR: It does appear the ... Fri, Dec 04 2020 Deaf elitism (II) At The Rim Deaf elitism is a fact, and its got a whole lot worse the last 15 years as they utilise access and equality law to do the exact opposite for their own area. A right to blame others for their being deaf and a right to isolate themselves as a culture, whilst blaming that too on hearing 'not being able to, or refusing to sign for them.' and all with nil proof to back i... Thu, Dec 03 2020 Cause 4? At The Rim A newish venture of a socially driven private area raising funds for charity (After they realised just give and others can make a decent living by pocketing 5% of all that is raised and charities cannot be bother to rattle tins at people any more). Ensuring members DON'T dictate how a charity is run is far better, given the RNID raises and does more than any of them... Thu, Dec 03 2020 I could have gone deaf, what's that like? At The Rim I have been deaf 50 years I don't have a sign name why? lol Do I need one? Mon, Nov 30 2020 COMMUNICATION At The Rim Bit more common sense and practicality here which identifies the fact most deaf and certainly the majority with hearing loss, don't actually use sign language, but have other means and needs to follow. The danger is quoting statistics of hearing loss and confusing that with the minor statistic of deaf people and an equally smaller area of those who rely on sign lang... Mon, Nov 30 2020 Contacting your internet provider. At The Rim Apparently, there are still internet services providers who don't know there are users who can not hear. The census of official advice is to use text relay systems in the UK, but providers are refusing to take those calls and demanding others act for deaf people. E.G. demanding a voice call response this was what they asked of ATR who had an issue with his provi... Fri, Nov 27 2020 Support Bubbles At The Rim The UK has agreed on a Xmas support bubble: The big question we have to ask ourselves 'Is there a possibility I am taking an unwanted Xmas present home to my next of kin? a lethal covid infection? and if it is better we stay away until it is safer?' Much criticism has emerged already that post-Xmas/January we will inevitably see a 3rd wave higher than before, is... Wed, Nov 25 2020 Life and Deaf in Covid. At The Rim Life & Deaf in Covid from Film Oxford on Vimeo. The ongoing assumption is deaf are all good lip-readers but the signers really do not rely on lip-reading. Clear masks present issues in that they aren't protection from COVID, so apart from risking yourself, you are asking others to as well. The pandemic means you may well be asking someone to risk their lives so y... Tue, Nov 24 2020 Letters down under At The Rim Hola! Just the usual post to ask how you are managing there in these covid-ridden times, now the bush fires are out, the wildlife and beach bums and barbie fellowship are being a bloody nuisance again? I suspect you have probably read the UK is in a worse state than before, but you know us, what's new? we don't listen to advice ever so nothing much has changed ... Tue, Nov 24 2020 Are deaf people good signers? At The Rim If Some controversy on social media where suggestions deaf were not all perfect signers was reported as an 'attack' on deaf people. Quite often we can read deaf stating 'I don't sign that way..' or, 'that isn't the same sign I use..' some gets passed off as regional but a lot are signs deaf have acquired from others who may have made then up suit. Language evolves ... Mon, Nov 23 2020 English COVID Advice. At The Rim I wonder if the signs actually exist to cover the details of what she said? Like Boris and Co, the charts and details explaining those must go over the head of deaf people too. Are they just following 'stay home' and 'stay away from others'? Do they understand the tier systems? If they do explain it to the rest of us? What is the sign for Field Epidemiolo... Sat, Nov 21 2020 Face Mask misery. At The Rim ‘Months of face mask misery’ ahead for deaf people as only a quarter of the public know how to communicate with them The UK’s 12 million deaf adults and 50,000 deaf children have “months of face mask misery” ahead because three in four people don’t know how to communicate with them, new research suggests. Although lots of different communication techn... Fri, Nov 20 2020 Young deaf mute girl gang raped.. At The Rim Earlier this year, on 16th March 2020, BACA reported on the dithering police that failed to take action after a 17-year-old Christian teenager whis both deaf and mute, was kidnapped from her home, then forcibly married to a Muslim neighbour under a sham Islamic marriage. Police at Sanda Police Station, Lahore failed to take action despite registering a F... Thu, Nov 19 2020 Being Deaf managing COVID At The Rim Deaf have really noticed that where the choice to mix with peers is limited and poor access via covid they lack the skills to interact with hearing. This is a problem that has always existed with deaf they move from deaf education to the deaf community and then when that is difficult, suffer via lack of skills or confidence to interact with the rest of society. ... Thu, Nov 12 2020 Dept of Education and the care plan for deaf. At The Rim Does it empower support by right? by practicality? or by cost? Systems tend to only provide support at the very basic level to meet the rules. I'm more interested in what qualifications the deaf need to enter further education? or university? since, Uni's complained deaf were enabled entry but lacked even the basics of English to follow their chosen course? Even... Wed, Nov 11 2020 Mainstream versus deaf schools At The Rim The government has to take into account everyone's view in that 9 out of 10 parents of deaf children are hearing, and legally responsible for their own children, and also, that state policy is inclusion via mainstreaming. There seem to be dual campaigns running, (1) Parents (And many deaf themselves), are demanding more support for deaf children in mainstream an... Tue, Nov 10 2020 25 years of struggle, was it worth it? At The Rim This week marks 25 years of the inauguration of the UK Disability Act. Is there a cause to celebrate it? ATR was one of the very few (The only one deaf), who attended the launch in Manchester of the campaign for it at Manchester University. I found the launch a real eye-opener to the deaf world, although I was (and still), profoundly deaf at the time and sup... Mon, Nov 09 2020 Mainstreaming deaf children doesn't work? At The Rim ATR getting in the neck for supporting the mainstreaming of deaf children. The ATR stance is that specialised schooling for all deaf children that is just FOR deaf children had a history of chronic failure that killed aspiration and academic advance for generations of the deaf. Even if, it founded a culture and language of sorts, it failed them educationa... Sun, Nov 08 2020 New re-brand, same old?
At The Rim Since WHEN, has the RNID been the home of deaf culture? It removed all its social media contact, closed down its 'open forum' and feedback site, shut down regional contacts, (How does that make the RNID more accessible?), and recently sold off areas of its deaf support and environmental aid arms. It will be interesting to see if they allow constructive criticism... Fri, Nov 06 2020 |
