Serving Up Sign Language
2008-02-29 18:24:00 In the six years I spent waiting tables, during high school and college, I encountered every kind of customer. Some are kind, rude, friendly or generous. Some tables need very little attention, while others need extra help. March is Deaf History Month, which encouraged me to think back to a particular customer. He was a regular at the restaurant where I worked, and he was deaf. The first time I served him, I was warned first by another server: “He’s deaf. When you walk up he’ll hand you a piece of paper with his order. Just take it and put the order in. He’s an easy tip.” I remember thinking how sad it would be to be treated that way; to have my server not say “hi” or look me in the eye. I walked up to his table, I looked him in the eyes, and signed an “h” and an “I”. Though my knowledge of signing was limited to a two day session in elementary school, it proved to be enough. It was an inefficient way to take an order, but he spelled out each word fo...

New vocabulary of sign language to help deaf pupils become hands-on with sc
2008-01-21 11:09:00 Teachers and language specialists in Edinburgh have created a new vocabulary of sign language that would revolutionise the way science is taught to deaf students in schools. The new vocabulary incorporates more than 250 signs for scientific terms and can be accessed over the Internet by teachers, interpreters and pupils. Terms like “photosynthesis”, “density” or “bacteria” are explained by on-screen tutors using simple but descriptive gestures that helps in understanding them clearly. Rachel O’Neill, a lecturer in deaf education at the University of Edinburgh said that deaf children needed such expressions. “The scientific vocabulary for deaf children has developed simply because we needed it,” Times Online quoted her, as saying. “People realised that there weren’t enough deaf teachers in schools and that finger spelling doesn’t work for complex subjects. You have to b...

Ford?s new design language to arrive in six years
2007-11-14 04:55:00 Ford's new design language to arrive in six years Ford's recent announcement that it will move toward a unified global design theme has many enthusiasts jumping for joy, but design boss J Mays has made it clear the changes won't be happening in the immediate future. Instead, look for the first cars to be ready for the 2014 model year. Mays told Automotive News development of the new design theme was moving along "extremely well." He said he is "so pleased" with the work done so far by Peter Horbury and Martin Smith. However, he also pointed out it will take about six years for the new look to reach showroom floors. That means the first cars featuring Ford's all-new look will arrive as 2014 models. That's a pretty reasonable timeframe as far as typical development goes, but it might come as a disappointment to some Ford lovers who are unhappy with the "Bold American" styling used on U.S. cars or the "kinetic" design used on...

Future Toyota Hybrids to Share Design Language
2007-10-15 23:53:00 Future Toyota Hybrids to Share Design Language Future Toyota Hybrids to Share Design Language With sales having surpassed the 1,000,000 unit mark for total hybrids sold worldwide, Toyota can happily lay claim to producing the most highly-shifted hybrid range. Although while marketing for the Prius has been unspeakably successful amid raised consumer environmental awareness, other members of Toyota's green range have suffered. In America this year to date, the Prius has outsold the hybrid model Camry by three to one, selling some 140,000 units compared to the Camry's 40,000. A hybrid version of Toyota's Highlander 4x4 arrives in showrooms this month, but with ever-increasing hybrid editions, the need for a unified design direction is clear. Faced with such a problem, having declared their intention to introduce a number of all-new hybrid models to the market nearer 2010, Toyota Chief Designer Wahei Hirai lays out his intentions in an interview with Automotive News.

Light of the World American Sign Language Part 10
2007-08-16 07:03:00 Here is the final clip! Very powerful clip! It talks about various religions and mentions specific religion by name. One of the religions mentioned here is the Catholic religion. I must say I do agree with most, if not all of the content in this clip for this reason, and this alone...the Word of God. Now, those of you offended by this clip or my agreement with it. I have this to say, I do my very darnest to live by the truth of God's Word, and the truth is (you don't even have to look in the Good Book to know this) that we live in a society divided and deceived by Satan. So please, no angry comments, unless you have a point or opinion to share respectfully. (preferably supported with scripture) Here are the scriptural references:John 14:1-3; Matt. 28:18; John 14:6; Romans 10:8-9; Deuteronomy 27:15; 1Peter 5:7; Matt. 25:23 God Bless!After posting this clip I found a wonderful post called "There's Something About Mary" in reference to the Roman Catholic Church.

We can only imagine the horrors that Christ has suffered prior to his death!This is a sobering clip for me! In the midst of this life how easy is it to forget what exactly has been done for us! When we are stomping our feet and shaking our fists at God for not giving us whatever we think we deserve, we lose sight, we forget the humiliation, the horrid suffering of His, that overwhelms and swallows our insignificant, selfish ambitions! My heart aches for the pain He endured for my sins! He did it for us for the joy of our fellowship.Do we dare withhold it? Something so simple for hefty price! I'm going to do something that I don't normally do...I'm not going to list any scripture for this clip. We all know that this is a true event, this event is the very reason why we call ourselves CHRISTians!For those of...

2007-08-03 19:26:00 Once again, I must state that I'm not too fond of the graphics in the background. The only beef I have with these clips is that there are no exact references to scripture. I have found those exact references and have listed them here for anyone to study on.You will see in the clip a reference to God dialogue with an angel to see if your name appears in the "Book of Life". I find it questionable if the Word states that, I will seek that out with prayer and guidance. I can't lend my support to this clip fully, but I do like how it defines the basics for anyone seeking basic understanding. If you are seeking and have questions, I would welcome them, contact me.Click on "Read More" to see exact references to scriptureI've tried my best to list the references in the order that they appear in the clip.Romans 3:23Romans 3Luke 12:15-21Hebrews 9:26-28Isaiah 64:6Revelation 20:10-15Matthew 12:36Revelation 212 Peter 3:9Subscribe to Confessions of an Unchurched Believer by Email

BBC Sign Language takes on new meaning
2007-03-21 18:24:00 I said what?A BBC children's TV presenter has been accused of getting his sign language embarrassingly wrong. CBeebies character Mr Tumble - aka presenter Justin Fletcher - aims to greet hard-of-hearing tots by signing: "I'm happy to see you." But angry parents say the BBC is mixing up its signals and broadcasting something much more offensive. Jamie Miller, who works for the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, says he was stunned when he watched Something Special with daughter Kate, five. Mr Miller, 32, from Northallerton, North Yorkshire, said: "The signs for 'happy' and 'f***ing' are quite similar but it was an awful mistake to make. "Katie, who is learning sign language, asked what the gesture meant. I didn't know what to tell her." The BBC denied making a mistake and said they were using Makaton signals which are different to British Sign Language. But RNID spokeswoman Kate Sidwell said: "Makaton is used more for children with learning difficultie...

Baby Sign Language
2007-03-11 20:32:00 By Kay Green Baby Sign, the teaching of sign language to hearing babies. Why? When? How?I have always had an interest in sign language since knowing my deaf aunt and uncle as a little girl. I myself know a little sign for worship at church. I read about the new idea of teaching sign to hearing babies and immediately knew I would like to do that with Haley. My adopted daughter will be 1 year old on Tuesday.I admit I did not teach sign to me 3 teenagers when they were babies. However with baby number 4 in my home with me at age 40, there are a lot of things I do differently this time around.Sign language for babies uses a different part of the brain than speech. Studies have shown that these babies who learn sign are less frustrated because they can express their wants and needs. It also says that these babies are actually ahead, not delayed, in speech development. Babies are able to do many signs before they can speak the words.Our babies all do some signs without us even thinking ab...

Sign language on your cellphone
2007-02-14 17:40:07 The University of Washington and Cornell University are working on a video compression software able to transmit sign language using cellphones. The Mobile ASL (American Sign Language) project, supported by the National Science Foundation, will change the current situation of more than one million deaf or hard of hearing Americans that cannot use the very basic of a cellphone (via textually). Technically, the project team is designing new ASL encoders that are compatible with the new H.264/AVC compression standard using x264. In short, those new codecs nearly double compression ratios of MPEG-2, the compression used on DVD for example. The result is showed in pictures, it will be a video compression metric that takes into account empirically validated visual and perceptual processes that occur during conversations in ASL. The project is great and could open new development for all. For example, imagine a video client for cellphones that only transmits moving part of a video. You s...
