DeafDigest - 18 March 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 18, 2021 -- scammed out of $36,000 USA dollars Scammers or even Deaf Scammers are everywhere. We hate these scammers but it won't go away. Just recently the Finnish Sports Association of the Deaf (Finland) was scammed out of 30,000 euros by scammers that pretended to work as security guards in a bank. 30,000 euros equals nearly $36,000 in USA dollars.   -- small business vs big business From the Deaf Training point of view what is the difference between Small Business and Big Business? If the employer wants to give employees training in ASL, the Big Business can afford to hire an interpreter with a Power Point. Small Business may find hiring an ASL interpreter too expensive for them! This was what one owner of a Small Business said.   -- interpreter's nightmare What is an interpreter's nightmare? Having to invent a new sign for a word that was never interpreted in the past? No - all interpreters deal with it. Then what is the nightmare? Because of the pandemic, the interpeter faces the camera with no audience in front of her eyes! The interpreter had no way of knowing if the deaf audience understood and appreciated her signs. Fortunately for that interpreter, she got responses from Facebook and emails, all of them positive!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 03/14/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
