-- reason stage performers hate interpreters
We have heard stories of stage performers (actors,
comedians, singers) hating interpreters. Even
some of them have physically pushed the interpreters
off the stage. Why? Many perfomers have huge
egos and want audience attention on them, and
not on interpreters. This is what one comedian,
himself that welcomes interpreters, said! A

-- a police-warning device
Do we need police-warning device? There was a
National Invention Convention and Entrepreneurship Expo
that took place recently. One of the proposed
inventions was a police-warning device. It is
a bracelet that blinks lights when a police
officer is nearby. This is a puzzle. If we are
doing nothing wrong, then why would a nearby
police officer scare us?
-- a deaf child separated from his hearing mother
There are horror stories of migrant children separated
from their parents. One such story involves a
deaf child taken away from his hearing mother.
An attorney working with the hearing mother said:
Her son is deaf, so they can't communicate.
That means a short voice telephone call is
impossible.
Very sad!
