Sign use at Portsmouth Festival At The Rim More terps aiming for stardom lol. Sun, Aug 25 2019 · 14 hours ago Deaf Census At The Rim Seems deaf in Africa were caught out with their deaf census just as the UK was. The primary issue is asking the right questions regarding the deaf/disabled/hard of hearing etc. Actually, NO question was asked regarding hearing loss and nobody defined deafness. The UK approach was obviously, an utter and biased shambles with BSL campaigners insisting on just o... Sat, Aug 24 2019 Videophone Counseling: Who Benefits? At The Rim Videophone Counseling: Who Benefits? featuring Sharon introducing the concept of online/virtual counselling.

Thu, Aug 22 2019 Deaf 'too old' to get Interpreter help. At The Rim Hundreds of deaf Australians are being denied thousands of dollars to pay for sign language interpreters because they’re too old to qualify for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. So-called ‘deaf elders’ claim it’s a clear case of age discrimination and say it’s contributing to worsening loneliness and depression within their community. “She’s ... Thu, Aug 22 2019 Deaf man saves 7 lives by listening. At The Rim A deaf man says he has stopped seven people killing themselves by listening like no one else can.

One night, he was walking along the promenade in the West Sussex town when he saw...

Tue, Aug 20 2019 Google sign language AI turns hand gestures into speech At The Rim The tech firm has not made an app of its own but has published algorithms which it hopes developers will use to make their own apps. Until now, this type of software has only worked on PCs. Campaigners from the hearing-impaired community have welcomed the move, but say the tech might struggle to fully grasp some conversations. In an AI blog, Google research eng... Tue, Aug 20 2019 SALE SALE SALE! At The Rim A (lengthy), postscript to a plea on social media for more Hard of Hearing awareness, and concerns those areas are being sidelined by deaf culture. What are HoH to do to counter? or even to highlight their needs? Some suggestions emerge.... Counter fake news from deaf cultural activists? "We don 't know what the answer is or if the HoH has one to ask. The o... Tue, Aug 20 2019 Social Media views contd... At The Rim Hearing Impaired Badges & Pins. "I never saw a valid reason for advertising my hearing loss with badges and cards etc. In the UK a hearing loss group created the 'I am hard of hearing please face me, speak clearly..' cards and badges, the deaf community panned it. They said 'this makes us targets and doesn't include sign language..'. this lack of inclusion and unit... Sun, Aug 18 2019 UK's Corbyn pleads for selection. At The Rim A letter sent to fellow MP's and to different political parties, begging them to elect him as UK Prime Minister because his own party and the Electorate won't vote for him. His dates are wrong too. Sun, Aug 18 2019 The BDA Saga: A petition to sack the board. At The Rim On this social media the truth is slowly emerging. An open message to what remains of the BDA membership. Calls for the entire removal of the executive. It is a pity the person organising the petition didn't feel confident enough to air the contents of it herself, and the petition actually fails to include WHY the petitioners want the board removed.When you reque... Sat, Aug 17 2019 Arts: BSL plan for next 6 years At The Rim Delivering our British Sign Language (BSL) Plan 2018-2024 from The Glasgow School of Art on Vimeo. 'Shared values of disruption?' that would be about right! Do they never check their own titling? Should not inclusion include all deaf people? or is the equality law only for BSL people in Scotland? Sat, Aug 17 2019 9 Useful apps for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. At The Rim Google Live Transcribe Google's recent release Live Transcribe uses ASR technology to offer real-time transcription of speech into text. The spoken text is picked up by a phone microphone and delivered to an android phone screen using wifi or another network connection. This can be useful for people who are deaf and attending conferences or lectures, for example... Sat, Aug 17 2019 Trustees wanted RSVP here... At The Rim Seems the BDA mass trustee resignations fiasco and the Lancashire deaf charity closure, has at least focused this BSL area in declaring 'It's ok to disagree'. Be good if it happens, but who SELECTS the trustees? the people who don't want criticism? Charities for the deaf have never been in such disarray. Is this the result of culture before support? Fri, Aug 16 2019 Myths on deaf culture At The Rim Word to the wise, don't use predictive/google text e.g. 'death culture' lol Thu, Aug 15 2019 SSHL left me deaf in a day. At The Rim Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL) affects one in six people every year but is often misdiagnosed - when this occurs the effects can be irreversible.

Thu, Aug 15 2019 Lip-reading II: VIdeo learning. At The Rim Hard of Hearing poster suggesting they don't work, at least in the UK. "Online videos are useless. They suggest learning in situations that are never real to us. A lot of videos use TEXT to explain what was spoken to assist learners, I was never sure if that helped or not, as I waited for the text explanation because initially, you don't read 85% of what is said,... Wed, Aug 14 2019 Under-Achieving deaf in the UK. At The Rim Deaf children across England are struggling at every stage of their education because of ‘a lifetime of being left behind’, according to a Deaf Children’s Society. The charity issued the warning after its new analysis of the Department for Education’s 2018 exam results for pupils up to the age of 19. It showed that just 44% of deaf pupils achieve two A-leve... Tue, Aug 13 2019 Differences between Auslan and BSL At The Rim Wonder HOW they communicate via using their first language only.... and to those who don't sign? Do they use their second language then? I'd want real proof of bilingualism. New Zealand e.g. has a variation of Auslan which has ASL influences in it. Perhaps the genuine signing is coming from native Australians and Maoris? The rest is influenced from elsewhere... Mon, Aug 12 2019 Interviews with deaf experts. At The Rim I thought only we were experts on our own issue... How can the WFD support sign language advocates in western areas like the United Kingdom where such areas are very poorly supported BY deaf sign users and who cannot keep Deaf trustees to advocate for them? Obviously, the lesser included deaf in areas like India and the southern Americas, Asia, are breeding ground... Mon, Aug 12 2019 Di Marco wrong? And biased? At The Rim Weekly round-up on HoH social media. This item was critical of Nyle Di Marco's recent video about deaf discrimination. #1 "This man is deaf and uses sign language. This is not the same as HOH or a cochlear implant recipient. Without workable aids, communication with hearing people is way more difficult. I have a profound loss and underwent CI surgery but it did... Mon, Aug 12 2019 An eyeful of psychology At The Rim The issue is the still-mooted myth that deaf people are bilingual when very few actually are, or, at best only bilingual on basics of speech. The other issue is a lack of actual technical signs, or, deaf people's ability to understand those. People deaf who demand access to videos containing technical data and difficult terminology will be au fait with that anyway.... Sun, Aug 11 2019 Apps that support the deaf At The Rim Have they one that slows down the banner text? Sun, Aug 11 2019 British Deaf Association in disarray At The Rim ATR asked Who next? Now we know, it's Tessa Padden. Chaos as calls for an EGM to get answers as to why trustees are all resigning, but are getting ignored by the BDA governance. A petition is circulating demanding an EGM with a 'warning' not to put names on it for fear of being bullied, with one ex trustee suggesting fellow BDA members will turn on each oth... Sat, Aug 10 2019 HoH clubs. At The Rim A BSL video by a BSL representative uncaptioned and about Hard of Hearing clubs. Why don't Gloucester use actual HoH people? given most do not sign at all, let alone watch BSL video output and use clubs for quite different reasons to deaf people? It looks like and is a promo for deaf BSL people. Let the hard of hearing do own adverts, please. Such imaging dist... Sat, Aug 10 2019 Subtitling for all. At The Rim 'Washroom', 'toilet' 'powder room' 'loo'? your choice! Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón’s masterpiece Roma was greeted with critical acclaim and three Oscars at the 2019 Academy Awards. But, even as Cuarón was basking in the spotlight, he was outraged at the way Netflix had decided to subtitle the film for Spaniards. The movie was shot using Mexican Spani... Sat, Aug 10 2019 Deaf community introduction project At The Rim Neatly avoiding the pros and cons of oral V sign-based education, and inclusion /mainstream approaches? Let's not even start with the deaf politic view! It would seem the USA educational system is choice-based, rather more than need-based. A deaf school choice needs to be considered really carefully because of life-long implications of formative year education as ... Fri, Aug 09 2019 Jobs, and Surveys At The Rim We saw a recent publicity blurb from the AOHL asking people what they need to keep a job if they have deafness or hearing loss. "We need you to tell us what support you need to thrive in the workplace. Take our survey now..." This assumed they HAVE a job and 63% do not. It also offers a link to 'survey monkey', ATR won't include, we wonder who is making a mon... Wed, Aug 07 2019 Explaining sound to a deaf person. At The Rim Explaining Sound To A Deaf Person from Joana Pimentel on Vimeo. Incoherent vid and who is it aimed at? Can't be hearing to raise awareness, can it? Would born deaf be interested at all? Next video, explaining to hearing what sign is all about (Again not using captions or narrative). I'm sure they will get that too. You can understand an audio description hel... Tue, Aug 06 2019 Being deaf isn't a death sentence. At The Rim People get offended when I don’t answer them because they don’t know I’m deaf. That’s why my Granny Sue piped up, “She didn’t hear you.” I swivelled around, hospital linoleum squeaking underfoot, to face the nurse discharging my grandmother after a scary kidney infection. “Sorry,” I pointed to my hearing aids. “Even with these things, I can’t... Tue, Aug 06 2019 It's NEVER too ealry for speech Therapy. At The Rim Narrative: People often ask me, “How early is too early for speech therapy?” The answer sometimes surprises them.

At The Rim Battle joined on social media opposing the cultists and promoters of BSL in the UK and the ridiculous and uninformed claims of both its use and effectiveness as an access medium. Is the real upsurge of sign awareness, based purely on the money and jobs it can create? and not, on its practical use for deaf people? It isn't an inference-based setup, is it? It's...
