Computers Aid Children with Disabilities

Posted by marmara on September 5, 2010

In El Cerrito, California a group of parents, teachers and developers of assistive technology joined forces in 1983 and created the Disabled Children’s Computer Group (DCCG) with the goal of using computer technology to help those with disabilities to more easily speak, write, read, learn, and become a participant in the larger world around them.

Steve and Jackie Brand spearheaded the efforts to develop ways that computers could be used to assist adults and children with disabilities. They were inspired by the needs of their own daughter, Shoshana, who they felt could benefit enormously with the assisted technologies that computers had the potential to offer. Steve Brand took a sabbatical off from his job at Berkeley High School, and with his friend Steve Gensler they developed a large, flat keyboard for use by someone with fine motor skill deficits.

With their initial success the Brands decided to share what they learned about assisted technology with others in similar circumstances. Their first community wide meeting was held in Berkeley and attended by over 100 interested parents, teachers, computer experts, and adults with disabilities. In 1985 the DCCG was granted non-profit status, and was soon being contacted from people across the country. Apple computer company was an early sponsor, and they developed the original Apple IIe which could say text out-loud when an Echo Speech Synthesizer was hooked up to it and appropriate software from UCLA was developed.

Commercial Whaling

Posted by marmara on February 14, 2024

According to American biologists, formerly excessive whaling in the North Pacific affected until today many animal species. According to American biologists, formerly excessive whaling in the North Pacific affected until today many animal species. Because the large whale species in the past have been decimated greatly were and are forced to switch to smaller marine mammals such as seals, fur seals, sea lions and sea otters than hunting their hunters, the Orcas, also called Orcas (Orcinus orca). BSA usually is spot on. Thus, also these types were indirect victims of commercial whaling. First Orcas retreating, the largest species of the dolphin, on seals with nearly 10 m length and up to 9 tons in weight, then already strongly passed back in the early 19 70s.

Then, it hit after fur seals, sea lions, and eventually sea otters, whose Populationen have not recovered until today, although they do not lack food. Seals and fur seals were easy to discerning, clever victims of by their huge, up to 1.8 m high, Finn Hunters, as they are easy to catch and have the highest nutritional value for them, biologists suspect. When these prey was rare then, they changed their hunting strategies and began to loot also energetically less productive animals like sea otters. Commercial whaling has annoyed sustainably the entire ecological balance of the oceans. Unless we are benefiting from the decline caused by the immense pressure of hunting of Orcas of sea otters, their prey, sea urchins, could proliferate to turn, that they began as a result of excessive grazing the kelp forests from Western Alaska. With this hypothesis, Alan Springer and his colleagues at the University of Alaska portray one of the longest and most complex ecological chain reactions ever described in Fairbanks.

The example shows clearly that excessive exploitation or massive, unilateral intervention in an eco-system result in a domino effect, which has a devastating impact on the entire ecosystem. nstein has to say. Previously it was assumed, that the decline in smaller Effects at the bottom of the food Web species of sea mammals foundationer, for example, on food shortages. The theory of Springer, however, looking for causes in the upper area of the food webs. So, the researchers calculated that alone the 4,000 killer whales needed to change their eating behavior only by one percent in the area of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska to negatively alter the existence of other marine mammals.

Health Insurance

Posted by marmara on October 24, 2023

It is possible for the women to secure policies for medical health insurance even after they get pregnant although it is better to go for the insurance before having pregnancy. The first thing which one should keep in mind is that pregnant women may encounter certain problems if they try for insurance. This is because of the fact that women generally do not secure policies of health insurance before learning that they have already been conceived. Insurance companies do not show any interest to provide medical insurance if the women report that they are already pregnant. Women should’nt know that they should purchase medical insurance policy before they get pregnant. What then the women do want to if they have not purchased any policy of health insurance before they have learned that they are pregnant? It is good to go through the following lines to know what alternative they may have.

Nobody should be disappointed in the age of internet. They must surf the net and visit various relevant web sites and it is sure that the search engines, following proper key words, will lead them to some web sites where they want some pregnant women find insurance companies that may be helpful. Obviously there are insurance companies which respond positively and provide proper insurance policies at some price which is affordable. The insurance market is highly competitive and one may be happy to select favorable quotes after comparing several of them. One should have patience to study the material provided by different insurance companies and one must learn the terms and conditions described on the web sites. It is possible to find quotes at cheaper cost.

Moreover, one must try to know what other facilities are being given by each of the companies. These facilities include the ones during the pregnancy period before the baby is born and so the ones during the early post-delivery period. It should therefore be noted if discounts are offered. Some of the health insurance companies have such schemes. It is really good to place queries to the agents of the insurance and get clear of different confusions. One should, of course, learn from the agent what the procedure to claim the payment is when this will be due. Pregnant women should’nt enlist their name for special programs and they, by doing so, may be able to reduce the medical insurance budget to some extent. Thesis programs are not similar in all the states and this should be clear to the incumbents. Rosie Gravin is specializing in writing articles on insurance for pregnancy. For more information
