DeafDigest - 17 December 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - December 17, 2019 -- trying to explain live interpreter What is a live interpreter? An interpreter said a live interpreter means interpreting in person and also on relay (both VRI and VRS). If an interpreter is not live, then VRI and VRS would have no interpreters in front of the camera!   -- not good news for agency helping the deaf The Minnesota Chemical Dependency Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Individuals is slated to close for good this coming February. It had been in existence for 30 years. Same old reason - lack of funding.   -- adult deaf person not allowed to buy beer A supermarket cashier refused to allow an adult deaf person to buy beer! It took place at Loblaws, a supermarket chain in Canada. Hard to believe? Yes!     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 12/15/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
