Il Reichsgau Vallonia (in tedesco: Reichsgau Wallonien, in francese Gau du Reich Wallonie) fu una unità di suddivisione amministrativa tedesca (Reichsgau), pianificata e di fatto mai realizzata, nel 1944 dai nazisti nel territorio della precedente Amministrazione militare del Belgio e della Francia settentrionale (nell'attuale Belgio).

Comprendeva le province francofone di Hainaut, Liegi, Lussemburgo, Namur e l'arrondissement di Nivelles, nell'allora provincia del Brabante (oggi parte della provincia separata del Brabante Vallone).

I watched (and shared) a video a few days ago on on "the internet of things", the idea that the internet is moving from a collection of documents on servers, to a network of things (computers, mobile phones, room thermostats, even curtain openers) that all talk to each other and share information. You want to pay for your parking, no problem, just pull out your mobile (it knows where you are) and it will allow you to pay for your parking to electronically. Handy if you need to top up the meter without having to return to your car.
This fashion for sharing has me wondering, do we think enough about what we share?


In metal buildings, Cold-formed steel is often used to provide lateral support to the walls. Light gauge steel is typically used to make structural and non-structural wall and roof framing due to its high strength and its true, straight, and light weight characteristics.
Exterior Wall Applications – Steel wall framing sections are often used as the structural members in domestic and commercial buildings. This type of construction allows for many different types of cladding, giving freedom to design.
Interior Wall Applications – Steel wall framing sections are used in partition walls, shaft walls, ceilings and duct enclosures, and many other areas in the construction industry. Stud wall framing is a common wall system with studs that connect to the top and bottom plate (tracks); nogging is used to brace and provide a fixing point for wall sheeting. Steel framing sections are used for structural and non structural applications.


C.H.I. Overhead Doors recently introduced Accents Planks to the Windbreaker and Impact Series.
C.H.I. developed the Windbreaker Series garage doors to protect against high wind conditions while the iSeries Impact Approved doors have strength designed to withstand direct collision of projectiles and other wind-borne debris at high speeds.
Accents Planks, a wood grain finish available on micro-grooved models 3216P and 3285P, is available in four options: Cedar, Mahogany, Dark Oak, and Light Oak. The company notes that the clean, simple lines of the micro-grooves allow this door to easily blend in with traditional or contemporary styles, making it very versatile.

In general, Egypt does not require any proof of vaccinations upon entry; the only exception is for travellers arriving from yellow fever infected areas.
Malaria is a deadly disease and is prevalent in Egypt. Expats who will be spending time in rural Egypt, the Nile Delta, and Western Desert Oases are recommended to take anti-malarial tablets prior to departure. Presently, the country is going through a crisis that involves civil unrest and acts of terrorism due to the riots and military presence in most major cities.
Expats who are planning to visit Egypt despite the present situation are advised to immunize themselves against hepatitis B. Immunization should be given at least two weeks before departure for travelers over one year of age.
Routine vaccinations should be updated which include influenza, chicken pox, polio, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus). As a rule, routine vaccinations are immunizations given even if an individual does not travel. Other recommended vaccinations are for hepatitis A and typhoid.
Inoculations can change on short notice; it is important to regularly check Egypt travel advice prior to departure. As the political situation in the country is unstable, most embassies have issued travel warnings for tourists and expats to take note of when visiting Egypt, advising them to be very cautious.

Uber Insiders Are Finally Allowed to Sell. They're Dumping the Stock.

Uber Technologies ' lockup period expired Wednesday, which means early investors could finally sell their stock. It seems they did just that.
Uber stock (ticker: UBER) was down 3.6% to $26.99 in recent trading, a 42% decline from its closing high of $46.38 on June 28.
The stock on Wednesday set a record intraday low at $25.58, and was on pace for a fifth consecutive trading day of declines. The stock already set a closing low at $28.01 on Tuesday, meaning any decline at close would be a new low.
Around midday, around 91 million Uber shares had been traded at a volume-weighted average price of $26.68, according to FactSet. That trails only its May 10 IPO, when 186.32 million shares traded hands, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Uber's average daily volume is 11.19 million. About 763 million shares were subject to the lockup.
The company's current losing streak began in the lead-up to third-quarter earnings. The stock fell to a record low Tuesday despite the quarterly net loss and revenue beat, reported after the market closed Monday. But underlying metrics, like bookings, monthly active platform consumers, and trips, disappointed.
Barron's suggested investors exercise caution on Uber and its rival Lyft (LYFT) before each went public earlier this year. We reiterated this view in June, when Uber rallied back to its $45 IPO price. Though both companies have big aspirations of becoming the future of transportation, that future is clouded by huge losses and competitive threats.

Does arthritis pain stop you from exercising, pursuing the hobbies you love, or even from enjoying quality time with your family? You're not alone. Arthritis affects more than 50 million Americans, and it's the most common cause of disability today. One of the worst things about arthritis is that its effects are often progressive. With each passing year you might find it harder and harder to live without pain and to enjoy full mobility. Physical therapy with an experienced physical therapist can help you feel and move better, now and for the rest of your life. Contact our office now to get pain relief for arthritis.
Your family physician or medical specialist typically diagnoses arthritis by taking a comprehensive medical history, performing a physical examination, and analyzing urinalysis and blood test results.
There are many different kinds of arthritis, but the two most common types are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, which is also called degenerative arthritis, the cartilage within your joints is damaged. In rheumatoid arthritis, which is also called inflammatory arthritis, your immune system turns on itself to start attacking your joint lining. Damage can include both cartilage and bone destruction over time.
Heredity: if your parents, siblings, or other immediate relatives suffer from arthritis, you're more likely to have it yourself.
Age: the odds of arthritis increase as you age.
Obesity: when the body has to support a lot of extra weight, it puts major strain on weight bearing joints.
Joint injury: previous joint injury leaves your joints more vulnerable to developing arthritis.
Infection: both bacterial and viral infections can have residual effects that contribute to arthritis.
No matter what the cause of your arthritis, there is hope. Your physical therapist can help you live a full life again.
Although there isn't currently a cure for arthritis, there are highly effective solutions for arthritis pain and mobility issues. While medication can help with pain, it's only temporary relief that does nothing to solve your long term issues.
Physical therapy is a powerful and non-invasive way to get pain relief for arthritis as well as freedom from your other symptoms — all without medication. To get the best possible outcome, physical therapy should begin as soon as you're diagnosed with arthritis. This can help ensure that your symptoms don't become debilitating in the long term.
Physical therapy helps with arthritis in many ways. Your therapist will help you strengthen your body while still protecting your joints using a customized exercise plan. If you need a medical device like a walker, you'll learn the best usage techniques to guard against injury while still growing stronger. When your body is strong and your joints are properly protected, you'll experience less symptoms and have a lower chance of injury.
Your physical therapist also helps with natural pain relief. You'll use effective pain relief methods such as heat application, cold pack application, and ultrasound therapy. You'll have some of these pain relief treatments here at our facility, and you'll also learn how to perform natural pain relief treatments like heat application at home as needed. Your physical therapist will make sure that you have the tools you need to feel your best.
Arthritis pain, stiffness, and mobility problems don't have to rule your life any longer. Our physical therapy team delivers expert evaluation, customized treatment programs, and great results. We are available the location of San Dimas, CA. Get arthritis pain relief with physical therapy. Contact us for more information.


Dedham Vale's stout oaks, weeping willows, wildflower meadows and meandering rivers are well known to many who have never been there, thanks to landscapes painted by 18th-century artist, John Constable. Many of his most famous works, such as The Hay Wain, The Cornfield and The Leaping Horse, depict the characteristic lowland countryside and charming villages of the Stour Valley, and you stroll through many of the paintings' settings on this walk.
Constable studied nature rather than artistic principles, often painting outside rather than working from sketches. Instead of enhancing and stylising his works in the manner of most contemporary artists, he sought to capture the exact colours of the countryside and fleeting effects of light and shade (which he used the Italian word chiaroscuro to describe).
Dedham Vale is as beautiful as it looks on canvas. Some of the finest lowland landscapes in the country – splendidly English without looking like they belong on a chocolate box – are now preserved within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Start in Dedham, where Constable went to school.
This serene village has remained untroubled through generations of change and periods of poverty.
It's a showcase of architectural styles, tucked in a vale near Colchester. Buy a picnic from Courtyard Café and strawberries from the grocery shop, before strolling to the River Stour.
Take a short detour and follow the river west to the scene of the painting Dedham Mill. Return to the bridge, and continue into a meadow, now following the river east. Oaks stand proud along the riverside path, cattle graze amid wildflowers, and couples row haphazardly past.
Leave the river at Fen Bridge, following Fenbridge Lane north. Here, Constable painted The Cornfield. At a road turn right, and pause to lean over wooden gates as you stroll towards Flatford, enjoying panoramas reminiscent of the painting Stour Valley and Dedham Church.
Follow the Stour Valley Path across fields to Cattawade Marshes picnic area, where the River Stour ends and the sea begins. Over lunch, observe the difference between the saline and freshwater flora, and keep a look out for birds such as redshank, lapwings and oystercatchers. Clouds and trees are mirrored perfectly in the calm water – Constable was famous for his depictions of reflections and light on cloud.
Once you return to Dedham, have a look in the Art and Craft Centre and finish with a cream tea at the Essex Rose.
Dedham and the Stour Valley are easy to reach via A-roads – the village lies just off the A12 near Colchester. Nearby Manningtree has a train station, and it is possible to start the circular walk from here instead of Dedham.
Houses a free exhibition on Constable and his work.
Pick up a homemade takeaway picnic from this café before starting your walk. You can buy a punnet of English strawberries from the High Quality Grocery Shop further down the street.
Once owned by Constable's father, the Granary has featured in many of Constable's paintings. It's now a museum and B&B.
Hire a row boat from Flatford and find your own picnic spot along the banks of the River Stour. Open daily, Mar-Oct, £6 per hour.

Q: Are there alternative to using intellipoint? Are there alternative to using intellipoint?

A: There is a small project called MouseHook which aims to be an IntelliPoint replacement. It is still under development though so it's not quite perfect, but usable in it's current state nonetheless :)

A: AutoHotKey for mouse button redefining.
I forgot what else the Intellipoint gives me, but its probably nothing of value. :-)
Here is a quick script to redefine some mouse buttons. See the Mouse and Hotkeys documentation for complete details.
;; This is an AutoHotKey script. This line is a comment

;; Forces the unconditional installation of the mouse hook.

#InstallMouseHook

;; By default, override key input for all applications.
;;
;; XButton1 and 2 should correspond to the shoulder buttons.
;; XButton1 will input Enter key

XButton1:: SendInput {Enter}

;; XButton2 will input Backspace key

XButton2:: SendInput {Backspace}

;; Also can set per application.
;;
;; For Windows Command console windows (cmd.exe)
;; (they can be referenced programmatically using
;; "ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass"),
;;  XButton1 will input the textual contents of
;;  the current clipboard.

#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
  XButton1::SendInput {raw}%Clipboard%
#IfWinActive

;; The previous line is necessary to reset Hotkey definitions
;; back to all applications.

The above was tested on a Windows XP "Computer Administrator" account. :-p I believe it should work in Windows 7 as well.
Also, tested with a device with the "HID-compliant mouse" driver.
(BTW, this should be better than MouseHook because the latter does not seem to be open source or documented. I tried out MouseHook, but configuration is very difficult if you don't know what scan codes you want to use and if you don't know the syntax of the XML file. I was able to duplicate the above settings though, so it seems functional.)

A: It depends on what features of Intellipoint you need. I use button mapping and http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm is just great for it! It even works in the UAC'ed process, when Intellipoint does not!

Myers v. Myers: Executor may not run estate as his personal business
The Georgia Supreme Court handed down the probate case of Myers, Executor v. Myers, today.
In some ways, the case is an unremarkable example of an executor using an estate as a cash cow for his personal expenditures and, among other things, granting himself
$53,000 in executor's fees while so doing.
The case books are littered with such fact patterns. Perhaps the most important take-away from Myers is the holding that an executor may not continue to run a single-member-LLC business in the estate, when that LLC's operating agreement calls for its dissolution upon the death of a member.
This is particularly useful information for the estate practitioner, because nearly all form operating agreement forms call for exactly this. Yet, it is common enough for an executor to continue to run and fund an estate business for months after a decedent's death. According to the Supreme Court today, so doing may be grounds for the executor's removal.
Full text of the opinion follows after the "read more" break.
Probate court deadlines - In re Estate of Loyd
On Tuesday, the Court of Appeals of Georgia handed down its opinion in In re Estate of Loyd.
The details of that case are fairly mundane in the world of probate litigation. A will was challenged on grounds of undue influence by a disinherited nephew of the deceased.
This blog post is primarily to highlight the take-away from the case for would-be challengers to a will: you may still have rights even if a deadline to object to a will has passed, but the probate court has discretion to limit those rights.
In Loyd, the caveator (objector) to the will filed a late caveat, less than a week past its due date. He was in default, as it is known in our law. This situation can be cured. But, unfortunately for him, the caveator waited ten months before filing his motion to re-open his default as a matter of right.
The Court of Appeals made short work of the issue. The probate court had denied the motion to re-open default, and the Court of Appeals said simply that it had the discretion to do so.
James Brown trustee in contempt battle
The estate of Georgia singer James Brown, who died in 2006, has been plagued by trouble almost even before the testator's death.
Recently, reported Forbes magazine, owing to court disputes and problems getting income streams from estate assets, the estate faced some $20 million in debt as against $14,000 in cash and other holdings.
The Augusta Chronicle reported, furthermore, in January that an irrevocable trust established by Brown to benefit children's charities has been fleeced at least to the tune of $373,000 by its former trustee, David Cannon.
Presently, Cannon is battling a contempt charge in the South Carolina Supreme Court for failure to pay restitution of this amount, plus attorney fees and penalties.
Working against Cannon in his efforts to argue the fees and fine are excessive is the fact that he owns a $1 million home in Honduras purchased, in large part it would seem, with funds from the Brown trust.

In re Estate of Tarpley - the high price of executor misdeeds
Not infrequent is the case in which an executor of an estate or relative of a decedent begins to parcel out estate property before granted authority by the court.
In a recent case handled by this firm, the son of the decedent began giving furniture and heirlooms to grandchildren long before the will was found and probated. Fortunately for that son, the matter was settled before the son was could be sued for his misdeeds.
Explaining why family members of a deceased do this is not hard: they "know the deceased wishes" or are "just doing what's fair."
In the case of In re Estate of Tarpley, just handed down by the Court of Appeals, the high price of doing this is made manifest. In it, an executrix and sole heir of an estate sold an automobile belonging to the deceased for $12,000 before probate was complete. Later, and after the will was overturned for lack of testamentary capacity, the executrix found herself trying to cover up what was an improper disposition of estate property.
Before the appeal was finished in Tarpley, the executor (since removed from office) owed the estate $96,433.73 in compensatory and punitive damages.
About half of this damages award was overturned on appeal; nevertheless because of the Georgia law regarding executors de son tort, damages in the case of bad actors in estates can be quite harsh.
The full text of the case follows below. Click on the "read more" link.
Case report: Royal v. Blackwell & breach of fiduciary duty
In Royal v. Blackwell, handed down by the Georgia Supreme Court on July 5, 2011, the court held that a lawsuit for an executor's breach of fiduciary duty was not moot, even though all parties except the executor had settled the case and the money that had been improperly distributed by the executor was returned to the proper party.
Executors of wills owe a strict duty to the estate, and the very fact that the executor had breached that duty, the Court explained, gave rise to damages, even if the breach had been corrected.
The judge of the trial court in the case had awarded attorney fees against the executor. The Supreme Court overruled this part of the lower court's decision, stating that it was for a jury to decide whether a party to a case has committed one of the acts that give rise to ground for awarding attorney fees.

Disinheriting and leaving unequal shares
The Wall Street Journal posted this about leaving unequal shares of your estate to your heirs.
Among the advice given by the columnist is a recommendation to write one's reasoning for unequal estate shares in a will. Similarly, one could write a letter of intent.
Experience in a litigation setting shows that such clauses and documents rarely carry much weight in court. The reason is that they are typically drafted by the law office preparing the will. If the testator lacked the capacity to make a will, the court will often think, then yet another piece of paper the lawyer drew up does little to add to that capacity.
Practical experience shows that the single best way to leave unequal shares in your will is to tell your children (or other heirs) you're doing it and why. Nothing leads to estate fights quicker than surprises in a will. Similarly, a child that has had months or years to digest the fact that he is receiveing a lesser share (and who has heard "why" straight from the testator) is much less likely to file a suit.
Second to this is some recording or document that demonstrates capacity. A handwritten note or letter; a video tape; a recording of the conversation with the lawyer; or (in extreme circumstances) examination by a physician competent to evaluate mental health are all ways to head off an estate fight before it begins.
Lessons from the Huguette Clark Estate
This blog hosted a write-up of the estate of Huguette Clark, the hundred-millionaire heiress to the fotune of a Michigan copper baron here.
Well known Chicago estate planning attorney Joel Schoenmeyer, author of the blog Death and Taxes, derives some lessons from the Clark estate (or more precisely the Clark estate plan) in an excellent article here.
As stated in my previous post, the Clark estate was rife with warning signs that a dispute could come after the testatrix' death. Schoenmeyer distills the typical signs of a looming will contest into a few points in his article. Paraphrasing, these are
1. There are potential questions about the testator's mental capacity.
2. The testator has strained relations with his closest relatives.
3. The beneficiary of the will plays a role in having it written.
4. A non-relative fiduciary (e.g. the drafting attorney) is a beneficiary of the estate.
Schoenmeyer adds some advice to would-be estate planners on how to cover their legal anatomy when the above warning signs are present. To which, from arduous experience, I can add only my "amen."
Tanner Pittman, LLC is experienced in preparing estates that do everything possible to ward off potential will contests and, when the need arises, to defending estates from contesting "heirs."
Facebook evidence in estate and probate litigation
This firm has already seen one case where the client sought to proffer Facebook evidence. Given the prevalence of that website as a medium of communication, it will only be a matter of time before Facebook evidence becomes an issue in probate and estate litigation.
Facebook comments and statuses are classic examples of hearsay evidence, but they generally may fall under one of several hearsay exceptions (notably, statements of party-opponents in probate litigation).
It is interesting to see the way in that Facebook evidence is being sifted by the country's appellate courts. Though not a Georgia probate law case, the case of State v. Eleck is one in which the appellate court agreed to exclude Facebook conversations as evidence, despite that they were crucial to the state's case. As part of its reasoning, the Connecticut Court of Appeals cited the "general lack of security of the medium," the implication being that someone else could have broken into the alleged declarant's Facebook account and posted the messages.
Chicago evidence law Professor Colin Miller disagrees with the appellate court's reasoning in an excellent blog post here. My sympathies are with Mr. Miller. In an age where the majority of a person's communications in a day may actually be by electronic means, it should be left to a jury to decide the likelihood that a particular communication was the result of alleged "hacking" into the declarant's account.
At Tanner Pittman, LLC, we combine adroit knowledge of trial skills and evidence law with expertise in estate planning and probate to bring value to our clients in will and estate contests.
UPDATE: The only Georgia case that seems to deal heavily with the use of Facebook evidence is the criminal stalking case of Placanica v. State. That case, however, does not set forth any new law regarding the admissibility of such evidence.
Copper heiress' $400m+ estate likely to result in lengthy litigation
Huguette Clark, whose copper-baron father died in 1925, died in New York recently, leaving a will that devises most of her property to charities, gives a substantial gift to her lawyer and accountant, and completely disinherits all of her family members, reports MSNBC.
As if this alone didn't make the estate rife for a fight, Joel Schoenmeyer notes in his "Death and Taxes" blog that the attorney, who was also named co-executor of the will, cut off Clark's relatives from contact with her in 2005. Meanwhile, the accountant co-executor . . .yeah - he's a convicted sex offender, of the distributing-lewd-materials-to-minors stripe.
Norman v. Gober - ad terrorem and standing to contest a will
On March 7, the Supreme Court handed down the case of Norman v. Gober, in which it was held that a grandson had no standing to challenge the will of his grandmother, despite claims that the decedent was the victim of undue influence and that one of the co-executors was unfit to serve as a fiduciary.
The reason? The grandson "lacked standing." Standing to challenge a will, the Court noted, is determined on a case-by-case basis, the general rule being an "interested person" in the estate may challenge, but a "stranger" may not.
How is a grandson not "interested" in an estate that could eventually pass to him (after his parent's death)? The Court decided the real party who would benefit from the challenge was not the grandson, but his mother. Contrariwise, the Court found that the grandson would actually be harmed by a successful challenge. Stretching the common law rule on point slightly, it therefore decided the grandson lacked standing.
Careful reading between the lines in this case reveals that the whole affair probably didn't pass the high court's "smell test." The challenger of the will, the grandson, was actually assisted in the suit by his father. One read of this case would be to assume the mother and father of the challenger were estranged, divorced, or separated, and that the father saw more support to his son in a benefit to the mother. Another might be that the mother didn't want to challenge the will because of its in terrorem clause, disinheriting any contesting beneficiaries.
A safe bet is that the challenging grandson's lawyers were pretty surprised he didn't have standing to contest the will, as he seemed to meet the common law definition of an "interested party" and not that of a "stranger." But the case does serve the laudable role of closing off to some would-be will challengers a way to conduct an end-run around ad terrorem clauses. This is not surprising: too-clever-by-half legal strategies tend to fail, and perhaps they should. My take-away is that I'm glad Georgia wills (particularly in terrorem clauses) can't be defeated by the clever device of "well, then we'll just get our son to sue."

Eloquence is Overrated…and Exhausting
March 11, 2021 advocacy, daily grindaccents, deaf academics, eloquence, hard of hearing academics, sign languageThe Mind Hears
–Hi there. I'm Sara, and I'm almost deaf.
As folks with hearing loss, we have been trained to speak clearly so that we mask our deafness and can be accepted to be as capable as the hearing. While people associate academic brilliance and intelligence with eloquent elocution, we know that this correlation isn't true. Linguistic bias exists.
The recent social narrative surrounding President Biden's stuttering reminds me of The King's Speech in which Colin Firth plays a tortured King George VI dealing with the emotional rollercoaster only a profound stutter and pressure of public speaking could bring. To me, speaking eloquently seemed like an impossible request. Of course, Firth does so in a crescendo-like, climactic, Oscar-winning performance that had me rolling my eyes. But it also made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I do understand the rewards of accomplishing the task, but is it all worth the physical, mental, and emotional stress?
Is eloquence overrated?
Literacy abilities are equated with intelligence: both what kinds of literacies we have and the expressions of those literacies. This is problematic. For example, Standardized White English is reinforced as the societal norm in classrooms, the media, on exams, in cultural narratives; consequently the "good" English speaker is centered in the academic sphere – the person who is articulate, eloquent, and has native or near-native English fluency – marginalizing a vast swath of experiences.
Below are reflections from two deaf The Mind Hears readers that capture the emotional and mental tension of performative eloquence. Their experiences also honor, in a small way, the progress we can make towards a broader and more inclusive definition of what it means to be articulate.

Hello, I'm Sara – without an H, thanks — and I was born profoundly deaf in 1985. I learned language through lipreading for the first four years of my life. I still missed out a lot because I was not overhearing conversations or listening to Sesame Street (I liked Mr. Rogers better; at least I could read his lips). Once I was implanted in 1989, there was a period of intense audio therapy before I started kindergarten. Then I continued with speech therapy until I graduated from high school in 2004. While those therapies are no longer part of routine, my mishandling of the spoken and written English language haunted me throughout college and early years of graduate school.
Like Sara, I internalized that the notion of articulateness, including a strong grasp of my native language, signified intellectual intelligence. I received this messaging when I had to take all those standardized exams, including from the Department of Education and College Board (including AP and GRE), where the rubrics were clear. Phrases such as "well written" and "sophisticated thinking" confounded me. I knew I was smart; I read well above my grade level but somehow I could not spout the "right" words or formulate sentences that could make sense to others.
My own speech pattern further hampered my ability to deliver the way people like the Obamas or George Clooney could. I hated public speaking of any sorts because they were always graded on my ability to speak clearly, pronounce every word correctly, and slow down. Coming from a family of New Yorkers with their rapid fire conversations, it hurt me that I was not allowed to blend in my own family either. Where was I supposed to fit in within the educated, middle-class American ideal of "articulateness" and get an A+ in that?
All that changed when I went abroad to study German and Hebrew and research in various countries where English was not the native language or where English accents were different from my own (Australia and the UK in this case). I found that no one cared how I spoke so as long as I was understandable, which meant slowing down and pronouncing words clearly as they were doing. Since I was doing the same in German and Hebrew, this practice eventually influenced how I spoke English. Every time I returned to the United States, I carried this practice with me and native English speakers responded more positively than before. (Still, every now and then, I get asked if I'm from Germany…)
After these experiences, I have more or less given up striving to fit ideal standards as imagined by bureaucrats in the Department of Education and the College Board, because we are living in a globalized world where English is the most widely used language, spoken in diverse manners. We are all intelligent but in our own unique ways.

I feel like deaf/HoH folks get socialized early to fit in, to pass, because often the reaction if we say "what?" is being treated as if we are not intelligent…which is kind of a double bind because we can get stuck in situations where we have no idea what is going on and get caught in it.
When I started high school, I joined Model UN because a friend was in it and I wanted to prove I could do it. I had to rely on my partner to relay what everyone was saying. There wasn't a whole lot of time to communicate, so often she would say "Talk about this issue and why it's bad because –" That worked fine because I was comfortable ad libbing, and it actually went really well — we got an honorable mention, which was kind of amazing with it being our first conference. But at the same time the award felt kind of empty — it felt like I was just a mouthpiece and not making any of the decisions or critical thinking because I wasn't receiving the information I needed to do so. I had a mind and was looking for conversation and reciprocity, not empty, performative acts of speaking so the experience was frustrating. I quit after that first conference. Ironically my hearing friend and debate partner was really angry about me quitting – the fact that it was inaccessible didn't really seem to register with them.
The isolation and lack of access that I experienced as child and teenager because of my good speech is part of what pushed me towards learning American Sign Language (ASL) as an adult: It supported the conversation and connection that I craved, both with signing deaf communities and deaf mentors, but also with the hearing communities I interact with through my advocacy, my work, and going about my daily life. If you sign, people immediately get it — Oh, she's deaf — and they are more willing to do things like write stuff down or use gestures for basic communication. I've found that as an English and ASL user it has been easier to get hearing academics to think more concretely about accessibility and inclusion, which is desperately lacking in academia. Signing has also made me a better self-advocate when I do speak; my experiences with signing Deaf mentors has pushed me to be more assertive and less patient with hearing attitudes and behaviors that are inaccessible or blatantly discriminatory.
Because of the intersections of my privilege — being a white academic — and my particular deaf experience – having reading as my primary access point to language and learning, plus clear speech – I've largely been able to dodge people's prejudices about speaking "good English" and intelligence. The flipside of that coin has been how it renders my deafness invisible. My speech has often fooled hearing people into thinking I understand more than I do; how could a person profoundly deaf speak so well?
A Way Forward
As we wrote this together and I read about Sara and Alma, one theme became clear: spaces such as The Mind Hears where we can converse are small but integral to understanding the deaf experience beyond ourselves. Adapting to adaptations while being unexpectedly advantageous or savvy feels ironic, but listening, really listening to others' narratives can offer new ideas for advocacy.
Understanding unfamiliar accents

-Ana
I wrote this post on an airplane coming back from an international conference I attended in Thailand. Because of the distance involved, participation at this meeting was pretty light on scientists from North and South America, but had a lot of participants from Europe (primarily the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Belgium) and Asia (primarily Thailand, China, Japan, Taiwan, but several other countries too). It was a wonderful conference: great venue, warm hosts, cutting-edge talks, great food, new people to meet, and some fun sightseeing thrown in. It also brought with it the usual challenges of trying to understand talks and poster presentations and network with important scientists in noisy settings. But this conference also brought home a specific problem that has stymied me throughout my career: understanding unfamiliar accents.
Deaf/HoH academics who depend on oral communication will likely be familiar with the problem that, even in an optimal hearing environment, we better understand those who speak like we do. Unfamiliar or "foreign" is relative, of course. I speak English and Spanish, but, due to the particularities of my upbringing, my best shot at hearing/understanding Spanish is with people who speak Colombian Spanish, or even more, the version of Colombian Spanish spoken in and around Bogotá (indeed, that is the accent I speak with – immediately recognizable to most Latin Americans). My Argentinean and Mexican friends can attest to how obnoxious I can be asking them to repeat themselves. Likewise, for English, I fare best with a northern Midwestern US type of English; Australian, British, Indian and many other accents will leave me floundering. I imagine that the same is true for other deaf/HoH academics, but with different versions of their language they are most used to.
Scholarly research, of course, is a global venture, and it is wonderful that many luminaries in my field hail from around the world. I'm already incredibly lucky that most professional communication is conducted in English, a language I happen to know. But, while hearing people can be quite understanding of my communication difficulties in suboptimal environments, it seems cruel (and professionally unwise) to tell colleagues that I can't 'hear' them because of their accents—especially because many such colleagues have worked hard to acquire their English skills, thus going the extra mile to ensure communication. Because of globalism, the problem with understanding unfamiliar accents goes beyond conferences and professional networking. Many of my undergraduate and graduate students are also from various international locations. I am heartbroken every time I feel that my difficulty understanding my students negatively affects my ability to mentor them.
I have not found ideal strategies to deal with the challenges of unfamiliar accents. Every accent becomes a little more familiar with constant exposure, so I do understand my graduate students (with whom I communicate almost daily) better as time goes by. But it never stops being a challenge, and I sometimes have to resort to written communication in our one-on-one meetings. Since the undergraduates I teach change each semester, I don't have similar opportunities to become familiar with their accents. For conferences and professional networking, I imagine that real-time captioning would be the ideal solution; but such a resource is not available at all conferences (though it should be!) and is generally not an option for networking. I've been excited by the recent advances in speech recognition software, such as that demonstrated by Google Slides, and wonder both if the technology can accommodate a range of accents and, if so, if it could ever become a portable "translator" for deaf/HoH individuals (I know some portable translator apps exist, but haven't tried them and don't know the scope of their utility; perhaps some readers can share their experiences?). I'm also curious whether unfamiliar accents are ever a challenge for deaf/HoH academics who rely on sign language interpreters. What other strategies have deaf/HoH academics employed to help navigate the challenge of unfamiliar accents in a professional setting?

Q: Не сохраняются настройки в Isolated Storage Здравствуйте, хочу сделать изменение шрифта в FixedHtmlTextBlock. И решил создать 2 разных Data Template, один по умолчанию (с размером шрифта 20), а другой будет выбираться в настройках (с размером 25). Проблема следующая: когда сохраняю увеличенный шрифт то при переходе на другую страницу и обратно - шрифт сохраняется увеличенным, а когда закрываю приложение и захожу снова, то настройка увеличенного шрифта не сохраняется.
Получение настройки:
public Section1Detail()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    // Размер текста
    if (IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings.Contains("TextSize"))
    {
        Container.ItemTemplate = (DataTemplate)(IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings["TextSize"]);
    }
}

Сохранение настройки:
Container.ItemTemplate = (DataTemplate)this.Resources["Large"];

IsolatedStorageSettings settings = IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
if (!settings.Contains("TextSize"))
{
    settings.Add("TextSize", Container.ItemTemplate);
}
else
{
    settings.Remove("TextSize");
    settings.Add("TextSize", Container.ItemTemplate);
}
settings.Save();

A: В IsolatedStorageSettings можно сохранять только объекты сериализуемых типов. DataTemplate таковым не является. Поскольку вам нужно сохранять размер, то использование DataTemplate еще и несколько излишне. На вашем месте я бы сохранял в настройках сам размер как число.
P.S. Да, и при добавлении настройки достаточно вот так писать, все эти проверки и Remove не нужны:
settings["TextSize"] = textSize;

Federal bump stock ban could make you a felon. What you need to know

If you own a bump stock, you could soon become a felon.
The Justice Department has effectively banned them by reclassifying them as machine guns. Which means anyone who owns one must either destroy or surrender the device before March 26.
And if you don't destroy or surrender it, congratulations. You're now breaking federal firearms law.
After Las Vegas, where a madman used a bump stock during his shooting spree that killed dozens and injured hundreds, there was a nationwide push to get rid of the things.
President Trump declared that he would ban them without congressional action and directed the Justice Department to figure out how.
Their quick and dirty solution was to reclassify bump stocks as machine guns using an existing law: The National Firearms Act of 1934. That means no new bump stocks can be manufactured.
And all the existing bump stocks – as many as 520,000, according to department estimates – are now illegal for civilians to own.
Doesn't matter if you bought it legally. If you keep it in working order beyond the deadline published in the federal register, you're now a felon.
How did the rule change?
Machine guns have long been defined as "any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."
Gun-rights advocates argued vehemently during the rule's comment period that bump stocks don't turn semi-automatic rifles into machine guns. They allow the firearm to slide back and forth under pressure from the shooter, bumping the trigger against the shooter's finger to rapidly speed fire.
MORE: Here's the difference a bump stock makes when firing a rifle
And no, that doesn't change the fact that the rifle still shoots one projectile every time the trigger moves.
That's why the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has said for years that most bump stocks are not subject to the NFA Act.
Gun groups are suing
But the Justice Department now says that was a mistake. It performs verbal gymnastics on words like "automatically" and "trigger pull" to back up its claims that bump stocks really do turn semi-automatic rifles into full-auto ones and that – yes, seriously – the shooter's finger and arm are part of the mechanism that makes this miraculous change.
Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has long pressed for more gun control, noted in an op-ed that "(t)he administration's position hinges on a dubious analysis claiming that bumping the trigger is not the same as pulling it."
As expected, gun groups are challenging the rule in court. One of the lawsuits was rejected, but groups have vowed to appeal.
Because to them, this isn't just a matter of saving bump stocks, which many consider to be an impractical novelty. It's about minimizing what else could be outlawed by these new interpretations.
What does that mean for me?
In the meantime, bump stock owners have some uncomfortable decisions to make.
The department won't pay you for destroying your bump stock, though it estimates the loss of property will cost more than $100 million. It notes that any such appropriation would have to be made by Congress (as if that's going to happen).
You could hold off on the hatchet and wait to see how the lawsuits shake out. Or ignore all of this and keep your bump stock hidden in a closet.
But remember: Nothing is grandfathered. Either you comply or potentially face a felony if you're caught with what you purchased legally.
The ATF suggests you surrender your bump stock at one of its offices, so they can destroy it. Or you can do the deed yourself (I'm not kidding: There are detailed directions on its website for making your bump stock inoperable. Heaven forbid you try to destroy the thing and still go to prison for doing it incorrectly).
That's not fair, you say?
Well, fair is rarely part of the gun debate.

How this multi-million dollar Brisbane export business started from a chance encounter in a car in China

A chance meeting in China three years ago started a multi-million dollar beef export industry.
David Foote, the managing director of Australian Country Choice, one of Australia's largest privately-owned beef businesses, had been visiting a dairy in Chengdu, China's fifth-largest city, as part of trade mission during Australia week.
He was picked up by a car whose driver had very good English.
It turned out the driver, Ming Yang, had spent three years studying at Queensland University. He also liked the beef he was eating while gaining a degree.
On the way back, Yang told Foote: "I studied in Brisbane."
And the conversation went from that to business possibilities.
"Can I sell Australian beef?"
Foote said yes. "These are the rules. Do it this way and we'll be successful."
Yang now has a string of butcher shops, importing 100 tonnes a month, and Australian Country Choice has a growing export market.
While beef isn't traditionally a meat of choice in China, younger Chinese are eating it more and more as the middle class grows.
Australia's reputation for safe and clean food also helps.
"Basically it's gone from a business of nothing to a business of great substance, within a two year period," says Foote.
Australian Country Choice is a paddock-to-plate operation, part of the Lee family business started in 1958. It does everything from growing the cattle and processing it and moving it all the way to the supermarket shelves — in this case an exclusive supplier to Coles Since 1972.
The company is the fourth largest cattle owner in Australia with 1400 staff, 207,000 cattle and 5.8 million acres of farmland. About 84 animals are processed each hour and a carton of meat every three seconds.
Walk into a Coles supermarket on the eastern seaboard and you have a two in three chance of walking out with meat from Australian Country Choice.
The expert market
The export market provides balance to the seasonal patterns of Australian consumption of meat.
"Australia is really fortunate that, seeing the Southern Hemisphere and Asia being our closest destinations, we have opposite climates," says Foote.
"So our summer is their winter and winter their summer. Barbecue items in June, July, outside of Queensland, aren't that popular in Australia. It's more slow cook or roasts.
"Whereas we're in full barbecue season in the Northern Hemisphere. So there's a really complimentary balance that we maintain our full supply and we just shift the locations with the cuts in mind with the seasons."
And in Asia offal is popular.
"Our neighbours and near neighbours do like to eat their animal from the inside out," says Foote. "And we like to eat it from the outside, in. So, it's a really happy fit," Foote said.

Australian beef sells particularly well in Chengdu and much of that comes from brand Australia.
Even products that are packed in Thailand but sourced from Australia have a higher market value and acceptance.
"The association to Australia in food, is number one in China," he says.
And Australian Country Choice has scale and reliability created from its long association with Coles.
"We don't close, we're here all the time. Our volumes are very, very consistent and our product quality is unparalleled in its consistency," he says. "That's what you have to be when you're supplying a retail supermarket chain.
The next wave of entrepreneurs

David Foote is conscious of the youth of China.
"I'm in business with people who are younger than my children," he says. "Potentially disconcerting but you got to understand they are the generation that are developing China in business. They are supported by the family but they are the go-getters."
Some of the next wave of entrepreneurs are already at universities around Australia.
Ming Yang's business story all started in Brisbane.
Foote argues Brisbane is a wonderful location to be in the export beef processing industry.
It's got Australia's second-highest shipping frequency. There are major with flights to Asia and the nearby Gold Coast is a magnet for tourists.
"It's frequented by the customer base we're trying to look for," he says.
And in the middle of the year — June, July, August — it's hot and steamy in Asia but full sun, blue skies and 24 degrees in Brisbane.
Looking for a steak
Foote says Australian consumers are lucky when it comes to steak.
"I think the Australian consumer is really lucky, it's actually really hard to get a bad steak in Australia now," he says.
Putting aside specialty steaks, the best meat, with the most consistent quality, is in the supermarkets.
"I know the work that goes behind the selection of the 6,000 animals that come in here and the rigger that supplied to only let those through to the consumer that are eligible to go through," he says.
"The eating quality of your average, supermarket steak will generally far exceed the eating quality of other retail steaks.
"Industry over last 10 years has developed some wonderful systems to basically the superior eating quality or from our position, equally importantly, to identify the less than acceptable eating quality products."

DeSantis Signs Bill Addressing 'Fatherhood Crisis'
By The News Service of Florida on April 13, 2022 14 Comments
By Ryan Dailey, The News Service of Florida
TALLAHASSEE — As state leaders take on what they are calling a "fatherhood crisis" in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill that will provide about $70 million to bolster programs aimed at equipping dads with parenting resources and helping foster youth.
The measure (HB 7065) received bipartisan support during the 2022 legislative session, passing unanimously in the House and Senate.
Under the bill, the state Department of Children and Families will be directed to contract for the creation of the "Responsible Fatherhood Initiative." The initiative will be geared toward providing information on effective parenting and will include a media campaign that "may include appearances by and involvement from public figures and influencers."
A significant portion of the money earmarked for the program, about $32.6 million, will go toward funding grants aimed at assisting fathers. The grants will be targeted at issues such as helping fathers find employment, manage child support obligations and transition from a period of incarceration. The measure also accompanies funding in the state budget for grants that "provide evidence-based parenting education specifically for fathers."
The law also increases a stipend, from $1,256 to $1,720, for young adults who previously were in the foster care system and are attending postsecondary schools.
DeSantis said the measure will have "huge ramifications" for helping young Floridians reach their potential.
"If you look over the last many decades, one of the worst social trends has been the decline of fatherhood. And we do have, in many instances, a fatherhood crisis in this country. The fact of the matter is when you take kids who do not have a father present during their upbringing, the chance of them dropping out of school, getting involved in trouble with the law, having other difficulties, increases dramatically," DeSantis, the father of three young children, said during a press conference in Tampa on Monday.
The measure also aims to boost collaboration between the state Department of Children and Families and Department of Juvenile Justice to better serve children who are "dually involved" with both systems, meaning they receive services from both agencies.
Republican lawmakers and House Speaker Chris Sprowls, who made the measure a top priority during the session, flanked DeSantis at Monday's event, which took place at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice facility.
"If you look at every social study there is on this topic, whether it is suicide rates or depression or dropping out of school, everything you can think of, mass incarceration — one of the greatest common factors that unites those people is an absent father in their life," Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, said.
Tony Dungy, a Tampa sports icon who is a former head coach of the Buccaneers and an inductee into the NFL Hall of Fame, also joined the governor to endorse the new law.
Dungy works with the nonprofit group All Pro Dad, which provides parenting information and hosts events. Dungy said the measure signed by DeSantis will be "such a big help" to fathers in Florida and the agencies that help them.
In the record $112.1 billion budget (HB 5001) for the fiscal year that begins July 1, All Pro Dad would receive $1.2 million for literacy and family engagement programs and another $1.92 million to promote adoption and foster care. DeSantis has not received the budget from lawmakers yet.
The literacy program got $1.2 million for the current fiscal year that ends June 30, and the adoption effort received $650,000. Two years ago, the totals were $700,000 for the literacy efforts and $650,000 to promote adoption services.
After highlighting funding and the various programs the bill he signed Monday aims to benefit, DeSantis said the onus is on fathers to be present in their children's lives.
"We're putting our money where our mouth is. We're here showing the importance of this. But you've got to be willing to do the right thing and be present in your child's life. You're not a man by leaving your kids hung out to dry. You need to be there," DeSantis said.

You people who want to blame thos problem on black people are pretty racist. (FYI–I'm white, so don't start with more racist remarks.)
Most of the people collecting welfare are white. There are virtually whole states of poor white people, like WV, who are on assistance. Most Republican states, especially in the South, are the poorest in the nation. (And yet they STILL vote for Republicans who want to cut their food stamps. Go figure.)
No one in this state has kids for a living. I believe "welfare" here is a whopping $200/month, while max unemployment is $275/ week. I'm sure food stamps aren't much better. I'm sure all that was adequate in, like, 1970.
Meanwhile, the average rent is now over a thousand dollars. And almost 50% of households with kids are headed by single moms. And these moms are working 2 and 3 jobs to stay alive. Give them the money for ACTUALLY RAISING THESE KIDS instead of wasting it on more dead ends.
No doubt, this is some kind of scam for kickbacks to Republican companies just like everything else in this state Republicans run.
Edward Lyle says:
Limit unwed mothers who apply for entitlement programs to the number of children they have at the time… if they have more kids, that's on them. Also, require unwed mothers who apply for entitlement programs to produce verifiable information on the baby-daddy(s)… no info, no entitlements. Then garnish the wages, seize personal property, and even disburse Social Security dollars of the baby-daddy to the mother to care for the child(children)… thus lowering the amount of tax dollar entitlements (including SS) that baby-mamma and baby-daddy get.
If baby-daddy and mama die poor souls on the street for lack of SS, so be it… we needed it to care for YOUR responsibility(s).
… problem on it's way to being solved
Lena, I see your angle. You are correct. Some of these men would probably never benefit the child in any way. However, you must admit that in our African American families that having children out of wedlock is a profession, and it is profitable. Rewarding irresponsible parenting is killing us, one and all.
Thomas Sowell put it bluntly, and I write from memory so I'm not quoting, but you can look it up.; Most black children (78%) were raised in two parent families in 1960. 30 years later, after the civil rights act and the liberal welfare state took hold we found that 66% of black children were being raised by a single parent. Namely, a single mother.
The toxic message of victimhood was spread by liberals to address the "legacy of slavery" to retain control over minorities. Factually, liberals have wreaked more havoc on blacks than slavery ever did.
Thomas Sowell is an extremely educated and intelligent national treasure. He is also a Black man.
The paid (welfare) destruction of the family structure is the reason for the continued cycle of poverty. We need to support the two parent family structure.
Having said that DCF is an illegal agency that has NO jurisdiction over families and children. Title 42 states: "(d) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing any Federal official, agent, or representative, in carrying out any of the provisions of this Act, to take charge of any child over the objection of either of the parents of such child, or of the person standing in loco parentis to such child."
DCF receives federal funding
How about not paying for having single parent children but pay more if two parents are in the house hold.
A Skeptic says:
@Pat,
Somehow, black culture has evolved (devolved) to where there's enormous pressure on young, single, black women to have babies even when there isn't a husband or fiance in the picture.
I don't know how we change that, but we must. Paying young women to raise a dad-less child isn't working….
77 percent of black babies are born out of wedlock according to wikipedia. The vast majority of local arrests are black. And the prisons are filled with black people. I argue the problem stems from their lifestyle and what they see as normal. So we throw money at the problem and tell ourselves it isn't their fault.
It is time to cap welfare benefits and build more jails and prisons.
The breakdown of the family, especially the black family, is all part of the Democrat long-term strategy. Recall LBJ's comments regarding the 1965 Civil Rights Act — "I'll have those n****** voting Democrat for the next 100 years". And Democrat policies have ensured that so many millions are dependent upon government money to exist. (Pew Research and The Hill have some excellent articles on this.)
The U.S. leads the world with the dubious honor of having the greatest percentage of children growing up in single-parent households, with the vast majority of those households led by single moms. The rate is about 3 times what it was in 1960, before that civil rights legislation, and about 10 times what China's is.
And what about the former Boys Clubs of America? Where young boys could gather with other young boys and have adult male supervision around them? They were sued out of existence, force to be co-ed and can no longer give the kind of male leadership to boys that they cannot get at home.
We did this to ourselves. Any effort to correct it should be appreciated.
Everyone knows what the real problem is, but are intimidated out of stating the truth. As I've stated before, and will again…
No matter how much money you throw at it… you can never solve a problem you refuse to acknowledge.
The Govorner's program will benifit fathers in Leon County 100% more than Sheriff McNeil's " hire a friend – do nothing – hey hey look at me I care around election time – border line criminal – unethical BS."
Thanks Governor and dueces on you local in the tank for corrupt public officials Sheriff.
But thats just my opinion.
You have every right to think the Sheriff is good and the Govorner is bad…but then why are you reading this? Get your trifiling @ss back to CNN!!!
@ Lena,
You state…
"This is an insane waste"
The insane waste is the hours and money spent on the Trump impeachment driven by the Crazy Train of Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, and Schiff. They drove us right into World War 3, Inflation, election fraud, corruption, immorality, supply chain interruptions, and the China bio-weapon.
You are hilarious attempting to dishonor one of the most decent elected official's in modern times.
I bet you voted for Gillum.
Another ridiculous Repiblican waste of time and public funds.
How many men are going to step up and pay child support and be good dads because an "influencer" told them so? This is going to be just as successful as the 1980s Reagan "Say no to drugs" program. Are we now a drug-free society? Oh, please.
This is an insane waste.
Why doesn't anyone make sure the RESPONSIBLE single moms actually get paid fairly? That's why many kids live in poverty.
"Dad" will not show up, and, in many cases where there are abusive and addicted dads, they SHOULDN'T show up. Kids are better off without them.
I want everyone to take a few seconds and reflect on how close we were to having Andrew Gillum as our Governor. Then I want you to get down on your knees and thank almighty god for Governor DeSantis.
Here is a free consult…"
"Fatherless homes are an epidemic".
Governor DeSantis … An elected official who recognizes the problem and takes action to fix the problem.
In Leon County the Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil and Mayor FAILEY failed to recognize the problem; they form committees to search for an answer that involves hiring their campaign managers pretending to be on task. They endow their special interest groups without recognizing there is a problem and give away $27 million Blueprint infrastructure funds to fix Stadium seats.
Ron DeSantis is the Best Governor, elected official and citizen in the nation!
Here is another way to helping fathers to be present in their Son's lives. There are Studies out there that say if the Father is Incarcerated there is a very good chance that the Son will soon be Incarcerated as well. Let them be assigned the same Prison Cell.


I'm trying not to let it eat me up. I know it'll be difficult and emotionally painful, but I don't want it to rule me.
It's funny, I picture myself dancing again. I picture myself bending down to pick up moss, walking through grass down to the water line. I can see myself functioning w just part of my leg and foot but I don't know if I'll ever get over the loss. I don't think I'll cry everyday for years or anything, but I can't see me "getting over it". I think the pain of this loss will stay but that the depression associated with it will fade into the background. I've been told only a few times, "don't be depressed, it won't change anything." Of course that's not helpful. So far I've been spared more stories about how people have it worse than me. Again, not helpful. So what do you say to someone who faced amputation? What sort of things are helpful to say? I'd say to listen more than you speak. I'd say that stories about overcoming should not be shared unless asked for but that telling the person they have your full support is better than any overcomer story.
I need time to grieve, to be angry at everyone, including strangers because you have two feet. It pisses me off that I don't and I'm angry at people who do. Go figure, my anger is wide and encompasses strangers going about their healthy business walking on two legs when I'm not! I can't believe it. I can't believe I'm angry with strangers. In the beginning, I suppose all who have lost a part of themselves will deal with anger issues. I just hope to keep it under control.
I don't want to be consumed by depression and I want to keep my anger under control.
I'm out of my depth on this one. There are so many unknowns. Often my sight is limited and I can't see the bigger picture, just a nub. It makes me wonder how I'll ever dance again. I can see myself look for frogs at the creek, search for and pick up moss, but how will I do it in real life? I don't know how I'm going to do it. I hope I surprise myself and can do more than I realize. Like the song says, "I hope you dance", I hope so. I really hope so.
The unknown can be frightening. I pray that hope finds you and carries you along this painful journey.
