-- another shocking news from Japan!
Yesterday, DeafDigest mentioned that Mamoru Samuragochi,
the well-known "Japan's Beethoven" admitted to copying
musicals from other composers. It was also learned that
he was never late-deafened! He was telling people that
he was late-deafened, but people that worked with him
on musicals, said he was never deaf at all! This
Japanese musical scandal continues!
-- deaf misery in extremely hot weather
What is Deaf Misery in extremely hot weather?
We all hate Hot Weather, no matter if we are deaf or
hearing. But for a certain group of deaf people,
extremely hot weather is hated! Why? An Australian
advocate of the deaf, said that Cochlear Implants
are very uncomfortable to wear in these hot
weather days - example - 110 degrees!
-- ADA allows unauthorized interpreters
The ADA requires authorized, certified interpreters
at all times, and cannot force the deaf to use
friends or family members to serve at interpreters
for them. There is one exception - that ADA
will allow unauthorized interpreters, If there
is an emergency that threatens the safety of everyone,
and if an authorized interpreter is not immediately
available, then it is OK to use an unauthorized
interpreter. Of course, the unauthorized interpreter
must step out when the authorized interpreter
shows up!
