A Harmony of Hypocrites... At The Rim Probably the easiest way to win a game is to ban the opposition but!! A healthy discourse of opposites is essential in a democracy, it would be extremely boring and wrong for everyone to agree anyway, more feedback online to those challenging the Deaf status Quo (or even any status quo). Is there no room now for a personal view online any more? The major ... Wed, Apr 14 2021 · 10 hours ago The Sound of Metal At The Rim So why are sign users complaining one of their actors didn't get the part? simples, they weren't qualified, it was about the deafened NOT the 'Deaf'. It's a breakthrough film in that actual deafened were included, more please, let's have real diversity. I am unsure the sop to sign was necessary... Some reviews: In the 2020 drama Mogul Mowgli, co-writ... Tue, Apr 13 2021 Another chestnut. At The Rim Nothing like another old chestnut to herald same old is there? The deaf don't understand access or inclusion Rob, or they would not be supporting charities trying, and failing to supplement the NHS and undermine deaf rights e.g. You would have thought SignHealth folding, the RNID dumping deaf care homes, the BDA desperate to get trustees, ANY trustees, who can k... Mon, Apr 12 2021 Access Frustration At The Rim Deaf community BSL access frustration from Sheffield Live on Vimeo. It would seem so many BSL deaf are still making issues of their own access, I have never needed to queue up at a GP counter and struggle to make an appointment, I do it all via email. Even arranging BSL support for my partner, the only issue I have is a diagnosis by remote (Video relay etc), I don'... Mon, Apr 12 2021 How NOT to teach deaf awareness At The Rim Deaf Awareness Workshop from Jennie on Vimeo. Farcical, amateur, and basically a pointless excersize. Too many DIY deaf 'teachers' spoiling it for everyone else, and they don't say this awareness ONLY applies to just one area of deaf people, has nothing to do with hearing loss, and really, not identifying those either. Unless 'Deaf' get a grip on these DIY lesson... Sun, Apr 11 2021 Frustration, Anger what can I do? At The Rim Ye olde daily obstacles of those with hearing loss, of course, walking away is the last thing you should do, that cements their ignorance as OK. However it does pay to be fore-armed when you venture outside your usual isolation, so take a phone with an app on etc, ensure people know what you want, write it down if you have to, don't give up, or you will never raise ... Fri, Apr 09 2021 SENSUS At The Rim Bit of a false start the census here I had a visit from a foetus (!) telling me off they hadn't seen my census response and next visit he is bringing the heavies with him. I told him they usually send you a letter with a password on it so you can do it online, and sadly due to our postie recently being savaged by the local cat, we hadn't had the letter with accompan... Thu, Apr 08 2021 Deaf awareness from Channel 4. At The Rim Deaf Awareness Campaign Channel 4 from Clare Price on Vimeo. Work in progress evidently... Wed, Apr 07 2021 Is deafness a disability? At The Rim I think 'Deaf'perceptions are! Social media HoH-wise definitely NOT agreeing with cultural followers or their view! Deaf? Obsessed? #1 What’s wrong with being disabled? Our society sees disability as lesser or a negative thing and this needs to change. I’m deaf and I am disabled, not by my ears, but by society. If all children learnt makaton/sign langua... Sun, Apr 04 2021 Whys ubtitles don't cut it.. At The Rim Subtitles are an essential aid just as clear speaking is, the problem is two-fold, (1) learning issues within the deaf community, and (2) misguided opposition to acquiring literacy in the host country language, via 'rights'. If ignorance is a right, a real step backwards. I am not aware of Polish sign language, but do know the British version lacks considerable d... Sat, Apr 03 2021 Relay Systems: a good or Bad idea? At The Rim Hard of Hearing media also with issues of access to health systems in the UK, following the issues with demise of the BSL health relay systems due to lack of funding, there are now concerns video relay funding for HoH will follow the same route. Covid has decimated fundraising for the deaf and HoH and shoe-string charity support is now viewed as part of the issue to... Fri, Apr 02 2021 Canvassing the deaf youth vote. At The Rim Lowering the voting age in Wales was a Labour party idea who are struggling to maintain control in Wales after 22 years having a free run, but who now are facing real opposition from other parties after an abysmal performance the last 10 years, because focus groups infiltrated the party, only intense hatred of conservatism has kept them there, but the smart ... Fri, Apr 02 2021 BDA. Lacks Inclusion and diversity. At The Rim So what's new? it is run like a secret society of some kind anyway with legal threats over members who publish what they get up to, they won't print their rules for anyone to see either. It must be the ultimate irony they are now lacking in BSL and ethnic access, the only reason they exist, but they have excluded hard of hearing and non-signers for 50 years. You a... Thu, Apr 01 2021 Don't support SignHealth! At The Rim It's what they are saying too. BSL users now must demand the NHS fulfil its legal obligation to enable deaf and HoH to access its health provision. After all, the NHS was created in 1948, that the deaf and HoH are still relying on badly funded and biased charities for access after 70 years, is the reason SignHealth has now found itself in this position and deaf st... Thu, Apr 01 2021 BDA and RNID lied about BSL? At The Rim The Charity Claims The Government official survey. The British Government survey declares charitable statistics on BSL usage and support demands are unproven, even sheer guesswork or hype. Although the survey is 4 years old has there really been a huge explosion of people being born deaf since? Not so, health stats don't support that either! SOURCE Wed, Mar 31 2021 The Deaf/deaf community At The Rim Deaf Community from Shelly Thach on Vimeo. A conundrum given the 'deaf' don't have one! Sadly yet another video on the community that is at odds with their own belief and definitions, encompassing yet again EVERYONE who aspires or claims deafness to be part of this 'community' whose membership varies depending on who goes online with it and if they sign or not. ... Wed, Mar 31 2021 The Health experience At The Rim Perhaps a real reason for only professionals that are neutral should be supporting the deaf signer. This experience only suggests the carer was poor, but it may well have been a patient's relative doing the same thing. The underlying issues are that the deaf persist in using untrained and biased support from families and friends, and then 'surprised' by the deaf p... Tue, Mar 30 2021 FX-322 (You'll belive the deaf can hear). At The Rim A cure first mooted in the UK in 1994, we are still waiting. Tue, Mar 30 2021 A question of access... At The Rim [I bet they were up all night ensuring no capital D was seen lol]. What does accessibility mean to you? We’re most familiar with the term in relation to accessing products, services and environments. It’s important to people with disabilities. But what is involved in making something accessible? Over the last 50 years, there have been significant changes to m... Mon, Mar 29 2021 What deaf need on their CV.... At The Rim You can laugh (Or not) at what random searches produce in regards to the deaf, it can be anything from building a greenhouse to (As we see above), baking a cake. I am unsure what modus Google uses for its search options, but the one above was to find out what the UK Confederation of Business Industries has in the way of accommodating a deaf employee. I'd ... Fri, Mar 26 2021 Employing the deaf... At The Rim Any deaf turning up unable to lip-read effectively, or read questions, don't have the support they need with them, have little chance of finding it easy to get any job, as explained, this isn't discrimination and employers have a right and a need to know who they are employing and what qualifications they have, along with details as to how the employee can work or ind... Thu, Mar 25 2021 SignHealth: We need more BSL-NHS money. At The Rim James Watson-O'Neill liked your reply It is the NHS job, not charity, who aren't able to replace the NHS access, get real. Their CEO seems to disagree, he tweeted yesterday and stated BSL access to the NHS isn't a charity job at all and it is unviable to assume ANY charity let alone his, can or should supplement what is, a deaf right to the NHS in sign language or... Thu, Mar 25 2021 Covid, the NEW deaf 'Norm'? At The Rim For those of us desperately hoping as we get vaccinated to buggery, and don our clear masks in the forlorn hope that will work for us, they will revert to ye olde deaf clubs and systems of 2019, they may well be in for a rude shock and awakening. Covid says no. For deaf to socialise they need their clubs open, but many lack the means to ensure covid rules are... Wed, Mar 24 2021 The Money Pit At The Rim In March 2020, as lockdown came into effect and services across the country switched to phone consultations, Deaf people needed a solution fast to address this new barrier to healthcare in the UK. The Deaf health charity SignHealth launched a free on-demand 24/7 remote interpreting service called BSL Health Access, in partnership with the company, InterpreterNow, ... Mon, Mar 22 2021 D/d and now G/g? At The Rim When is all this stuff going to stop? The daft messages are going out everywhere. Culture and sign being a money-spinner and 'Job for the Boys' and more for their very obvious reliance on help to do it. It's a self-perpetuating reliance on being a charity case, except they suggest it is 'empowerment' instead, but the image is not what others see and their emanci... Sat, Mar 20 2021 How to write in BSL At The Rim Here is the BSL ABC, good luck trying to write or read reference books written with that! How does 'SIGN SOLUTIONS' expect to enable deaf who cannot write or read plain English or, the BSL version and its grammar? (Perhaps the clue is in what they do, i.e. sell a BSL interpretation service!). Surely translating text to sign does little to enable deaf to read and ... Fri, Mar 19 2021 Learning sign for the Deaf. At The Rim Our social media is awash with mean wells and amateurs giving out sign lessons, most of which progress no further than the ABC of a few numbers who are sadly encouraged by deaf to 'carry on the good work' ATR says make it stop basically, too many are being encouraged to skip vital aspects hearing needed for sign to work for them, or aware it won't for non-signing deaf... Thu, Mar 18 2021 They work for you At The Rim At least some do! [Lilian Greenwood Nottinghamshire MP putting the deaf juror access in proper perspective, and apparently adopting the BDA hype (Where does that charity get its figures from?), and downgrading the hearing loss ones via NDCS and RNID statistics in the process.] First, clause 164 paves the way for deaf people to sit as jurors in England... Wed, Mar 17 2021 BSL Bill (Wales) may not proceed. At The Rim ATR has received information from the welsh assembly regarding clarification of online BDA and other UK deaf blog and social media claims, Wales has adopted a BSL Bill, this is not true. Dear ATR. We’ve received a response from Welsh Government regarding your query. Please find below. A British Sign Language (BSL) Bill has not been formally introduced or passed b... Mon, Mar 15 2021 The planet's most discriminated against. At The Rim The price of inclusion? the acceptances of diversity? the Human Rights conundrum? Maybe we should start marching against people who support the above view. Since when do minorities rule us all? Mon, Mar 15 2021 R U Having and Identity crisis? At The Rim What’s an Identity Crisis and Could You Be Having One? Are you questioning who you are? Maybe what your purpose is, or what your values are? If so, you may be going through what some call an identity crisis. The term “identity crisis” first came from developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson. He introduced the ideas of adolescent identity c... Mon, Mar 15 2021 Deaf Culture according to Wiki. At The Rim Language acquisition by deaf children: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Language acquisition is a natural process in which infants and children develop proficiency in the first language or languages that they are exposed to. (so if they are exposed to oral and speech they will acquire that?). The process of language acquisition is varied among deaf chi... Mon, Mar 15 2021 Caption Call At The Rim Also for mobiles and free for those with hearing loss. Step 1: Are You Eligible? Our no-cost service is for people with hearing loss who need captions to effectively use the phone. Request our service to see if you qualify or talk to your audiologist. Step 2: Request Service If you have hearing loss and need captions, fill out our simple online form. We'll... Sun, Mar 14 2021 Deaf Access and the NHS. At The Rim Deaf Access during COVID-19 Booklet in BSL from DeafCOG on Vimeo. Sadly another negative in omitting captioning/subtitles or a narrative, so many deaf signers still will struggle to follow. The assumption every signer has the same level of signing ability is a bust also. Sat, Mar 13 2021 Can any deaf person be a juror? At The Rim No, there are numerous rules that prevent the deaf from being a juror (Guide below taken from official UK Government sites). Whilst BSL users may now be jurors this also means lip-readers and text users can also, the new guide doesn't priorities the sign user alone and is part of the general inclusion of disabled people. Good luck ensuring interpreters remain neut... Thu, Mar 11 2021 Learn to lip-read online.. At The Rim I find captions invalidate lip-reading personally. There is clear evidence sign language and lip-reading is unable to 'compete' with text. Courses and classes are too random in the UK e.g. to make lip-reading effective or viable. Most learners don't get assessed first to see if the capability is there TO master lip-reading and class make up is reliant ON ... Wed, Mar 10 2021 Wales Hasn't passed a BSL Bill At The Rim After ATR raised concerns on deaf social media at 4 leading UK hearing loss charities claiming Wales had opted for a BSL Bill, they are now apologising for not reading it was just a proposal, not a vote on accepting a Bill. NRDCP accepted they incorrectly (Thank you), put on Twitter Wales had adopted a BSL Bill. Can the BDA et al now stop misleading the pub... Tue, Mar 09 2021 Calling Our Bluff. At The Rim 'All Deaf people sign' 'All deaf people belong to a deaf culture' 'All deaf people are different..' [Only ONE of these statements is true, can you guess which?] How the Hard of Hearing do it..... Bluff? not to be encouraged, ARE hearing people bluffed erm... maybe not! Let's ask them! A poster priding themself on fooling hearing most of the time.... Mon, Mar 08 2021 Toward an inclusive society. At The Rim Including deaf who don't want inclusion is the West's issue, rather than inclusive, deaf rights determine it becomes EX-clusive and thus relative and runs somewhat unevenly alongside in a parallel fashion. Integration is not a part of deaf inclusion. Inclusion is not viewed the same way as most understand it, with the deaf having their own limited version of it and ... Sun, Mar 07 2021 Does the music go on after deafness? At The Rim It is important you identify which deaf you are talking about. Born deaf have very limited access to music and predominantly tend to go for music or output that has strong percussive input, like drums, bass and similar, because of vibrational access, obviously, the voice and many other instruments operate at frequencies they cannot access. Pop music has a greater fo... Sat, Mar 06 2021 Getting a job being deaf.
At The Rim The thing about making a living on youtube is deaf are not pitching IN the mainstream face to face with hearing people, so a bit of a cop out really, deaf are still isolated still working for themselves still not included in mainstream workplaces. Don't make too much of being deaf, plug your abilities, no employer wants 'the lecture', it will kill your CV and job... Fri, Mar 05 2021 |
