[A deaf child listened] It was a warm day in the early summer of 1814. A young clergyman, whose name was Thomas Gallaudet, slowly sat down on the steps in front of his house in Hartford, Conneticut. He had just walked from downtown to his home on Prospect street, only a short distance, but he felt tired. For a while he watched his younger brothers and sisters playing a game of tag on the lawn with some knee, he thought how nice it would be to run over the green grass as they did. Even as a child he was not well enough to enjoy running and jumping like other children. All at once, at the edge of the lawn, he noticed a little girl who was not taking part in the game. She looked about eight or nine years of age and was wearing a neat pink dress. What caught his attention was her strangely blank expression. She just stared at the commotion aroud her. She didn't appear ill, however. Why didn't she play with the other children? Thomas called out to his brother Teddy. As the nine-year-old Teddy hoped onto the steps, Thomas questioned him about the little girl in the pink dress. "Ho, she is Alice from down the street - Dr. Cogswell's daughter." Teddy said. "She's deaf. she can't hear or speak. She doesn't even know that her name is Alice." Teddy ran back to the laughing children, and Thomas walked across the lawn toward Alice Cogswell. On the way, he bent down to pink a tiny violet in the grass. He held it out to her. She took it warily, but she let Thomas hold her hand and lead her to the steps, where they both sat down. Alice rubbed the violet softly over her eyelids and then held it under her nose. Thomas looked down at Alice. She was pretty child with long, curly blond hair, and nothing seemed wrong with her. Who could have gussed that she lived without words in a silent prison?
Suddenly he had an idea. Putting his hat on Alice's head, he smiled at her. He picked up a stick and drew the letters H-A-T in the earth. Then he took the hat and put it directly above the letters. A beginning, he asked himself, or a wasted effort? Alice giggled, a strange high sound. Waving the violet he had given her in the air, she dropped it into a pocket in his waistcoat. Once more he smiled at the child. Catching her eye, he pointed straight at the hat. Then he pointed to the letters. Carefully he retracted the letters H-A-T with the stick. Then he pointed again at the hat. This time Alice tapped her shoes on the steps and wiggled her fingers. She must have thought, Thomas later wrote, that they were playing a game. First he would do a trick, then so would she. How could teach her? By late afternoon Thomas Gallaudet and little girl Alice Cogswell were good friend. Having younger brothers and sisters, Thomas felt at ease with children. Also, because his poor health had kept him apart from other children, he had a feeling of kindship with this child who could not hear. At first Alice must have wondered why he kept touching his hat and pointing to the drawing in the earth. Then her wondering and her delight with Thomas must have at least let a door open just wide enough for her to see the link between the H-A-T and the object that the smiling man had put on her head. Alice suddenly grabbed the hat and pointed to the word drawn in the earth. She tapped the hat and jumped off the steps in excitement. H-A-T and hat? The link had been made. Leaping to the ground, Thomas swung the child into his arms. His tiredness was gone. What an incredible day! He wanted to shout. Now Alice looked at her new friend. She frantically pushed the stick into Thomas's hand and began thumping her fists on her own shoulders. Me? Me? Me? she seemed to be saying.
Again Thomas smiled. With the stick he started to write in the earth a alarge letter A, the very first letter of Alice Cogswell's name.
That evening, Dr. cogswell seemed unable to believe what had happened. He adored his daughter - Thomas could see that - and he spoke of the scarlet fever that had robbed her of her hearing at the age of two. The words that she had known she forgot. By the time she was four, she was judged a deaf-mute - unable to hear or speak - and was thought incapable of understanding. Dr. Cogswell had never accepted this judgement on his daughter. He didn't believe she was mentally impaired. He was certain that intelligence lived within his child, even if it lived under lock and key. But Cogswells had hesitated to send Alice to one of the few European schools for the deaf. Her helplessness frightened them, and they had tried without success to educate her themselves. But now, Dr. Cogswell saw that young Mr. Gallaudet had wrought some kind of miracle in one afternoon. He exclaimed with joy, "We don't have to send Alice to an European School! She won't have to live in ignorance!" Then he turned to Thomas and expressed his hope that he would communicate to help Alice and become her teacher. By supper, Thomas had left Dr. Cogswell's house with two French volumes entitled "Theory of Signs", written by a French priest, the abbe Sicard.
The next morning Thomas took Alice for a walk. Excitedly she raced from object to object, looking to Thomas for the words. He spelled each word to her with his fingers, as he had learned from the books Dr. Cogswell had given him. Tomorrow he would begin teaching her signs that created an image. The sign for baby, for instance, was made by rocking the right hand with the left arm as if holding a baby. Many signs, however, were less obvious. The word lonely was indicated by drawing the right index finger down across the lips, with the palm facing left. From then on Thomas spent his weekends preaching in New England churches and his weekdays teaching Alice Cogswell language spoken by hand and not by mouth. His younger brothers and sisters soon joined in, practicing the signs and finger alphabet, and applauding Alice when she learned a new word. She learned almost twenty words a day, each word urging her further through the door and beyond the wall that had kept her apart. People often stopped to watch the group of children tracing pictures in the air.
In April of 1815, Thomas was asked to speak at an evening meeting of Hartford merchants and educators at Dr. Cogswell's home. Alice had advanced so rapidly that her father wanted Thomas to describe his teaching. There were 84 deaf-mutes, the doctor said, in Connecticut alone; thousands more across the country were either deaf or hearing-impaired. No school yet existed for these unfortunate children. Perhaps Thomas would inspire the men at the meeting to found such a school.
That evening Thomas explained to his audience how Alice had learned to make her fingers speak in a silent language. She could understand nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and she could even put sentences into past, present,and future tenses. At nine o'clock, a sleepy Alice in flannel nightgown and cotton slippers was carried into the room by her father. She sat on a rug by the fireplace. Thomas stopped beside her and tapped her hands. Gently his own fingers asked his student to tell the ten gentlemen ofHartford how she felt about learning words. Shyly she smiled. Alice's right hand rose, opening like a flower on its stem. The little finger of her right hand touched her chest to indicate herself, and then her index finger, with her palm up, made a clockwise circle. She tapped her forehead and curling her thumb beneath the first joint of her middle and index finger, Alice lifted her index finger and placed her hand in front of her forehead. Thomas kissed the top of her head and turned to the men to translate. I always want - understand, she had said. A vote was taken, and all the ten merchants and educators agreed to try to collect enough money to open the first school in America for deaf students. As he was leaving, Thomas stopped suddenly and clapped his hands in two sharp bursts of sound. Surprised, the men turned to look at him Thomas explained that two claps was French sign language for the word school. "Clap with me" he invited the men. Echoing behind him came a series of double handclaps on behalf of the deaf.
Funny thing...I've seen others post this and they are attacked viciously. Apparently it is now intolerant and bigoted to be straight and proud in this up side down,politically correct society we live in. I invite everyone who is straight and unashamed to post this on your wall.
I smell the sarcasm from here! :D I live in the northern part! Which ironically, is the rich part of Belgium, thanks to the way we are positioned! We have a diamond bank, and we have the second biggest haven of Europe! Quite impressive that you know so much about a small country like mine! Especially because you're from Asia! I woudn't think Asians care that much about European culture, I even heard some Asians don't know Europe exists, but that all white people are American, am I right ? :D
政治、宗教に踏み込むのは良くないが ベルギーの歴史的成り立ちをさらに勉強するのが良いかも。 北部は経済的に豊かなんでしょ。 Which ironically, is the rich part of Belgium, thanks to the way we are positioned! 南部と北部、皮肉を込めればどっちが豊かなんだろ、幸せな事に私たちは（北部に）住んでる。 と言ってる。 フランス語が難しいというのもフランス語圏の人達とつきあうのが難しいと言外に言ってるのかもしれない。
お願いいたします。 yes, but we had a meeting with HR and she made herself look like a fool because she was getting after me for something they even thought I didn't do wrong. So, they have more ammunition if they want to get rid of her now. It's just a matter of time. I'm sending out resumes in the meantime to make myself feel better.
>>114>>118 Which ironically, is the rich part of Belgium, thanks to the way we are positioned! 「thanks to 〜」 の意味は「〜のおかげで」だから、ここのwhichは疑問視ではなく関係代名詞にしか読めないや。 「皮肉なことに北部は、位置関係のおかげで、ベルギーの豊かな地域なんだ。」
お願いします。意訳OKです。 If I could begin to be, Half of what you think of me, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love. When I see the way you act, Wondering when I'm coming back, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love like you.
Working upon traditionally established concepts, most of which come from the field of industrial economics such as installed or excess capacity, is a sensitive issue when pursued from a different viewpoint. In particular, focussing on industries such as wind power, where the non-used capacity of production surpasses the lack of market demand, is even more exciting. This complexity therefore deserves brief clarification. Commonly, installed capacity is defined as the set of resources that are available to firms producing goods or services. This could be part of a strategy to mitigate the effects of demand uncertainty or it could even be a market competition strategy.
For wind power players, none of these strategies is, in fact, attractive. Lack of demand, or demand uncertainty, are far from being severe problems to these players. Indeed, they have priority in the dispatch of the electricity to the grid. Therefore, it is worthwhile noting that the electricity generated from renewables has priority access to the grid as a result of EU Directive [1], and consequently market demand is not a constraint in using installed capacity. This framework, jointly with the guaranteed prices over long-term contracts, makes the second strategy pointless. This means that unused wind power installed capacity is a consequence of the absence of wind, which is the main production input, rather than lack of electricity demand or competition behaviour strategy. Moreover, another specificity of electricity is the great difficulty (if it is even possible) of storage, unlike most other goods and services. In short, idle capacity rather than excess capacity is the object of analysis.
Once the specificities of wind power installed capacity have been clarified, two possible options arise to analyse this issue: (i) focus on the share of installed wind capacity, which is effectively used (capacity factor); and (ii) focus on the share of installed wind capacity, which is idle. Unlike other authors, such as Boccard [2] and Yang et al. [3], who follow option (i), our insight was towards option (ii). The motivations for this choice are threefold. First, the paper is focused on explaining the installed capacity in wind power that is not actually used. As such, it seems to us appropriate to work upon idle capacity instead of upon the capacity that is really used. Second, for the policymakers, guidance is more attractive in order to understand the factors that are enhancing idle capacity so that it can be avoided. Third, from the economic point of view, economic inefficiency concerns, i.e. the opportunity cost of investments. These investments are not even used over long periods. This in- efficiency should be reduced or even eliminated. As stated above, the planned excess capacity is a well-known practice of strategic behaviour within the markets, which is vastly studied in the context of industrial economics. But the excess capacity is also economically inefficient. This inefficiency is of particular concern in capital intensive industries such as wind power, where the majority of costs are capital costs. In short, our option brings more read- ability to the results and enriches the debate and discussion.
The biggest danger to many animals is people.people want the animals for their fur,or for their meat,or they want to sell the animals as pets.Giant otters live in the Amazon rainforest. They are about 2 metres long,and they sleep in deep holes by the river. Giant otters live in family groups,and a group of otters will eat more than 30,000 fish a year. There are only about 100 giant otters now,because people wil pay a lot of money for their beautiful,thick fur. In the 1960s,people killed more than 60,000 giant otters in Brazil.
おねがします。 I really don't like the fact that I can't turn the buzzer off on my dryer. Seriously. Why do I need the buzzer when the dryer is so loud I can hear that it has stopped? I'm going to disable it tomorrow.
To this day, our social health depends upon our ability to rethink our collective understandings in the face of our own growth pressures as well as lessons coming from an ever-changing world.
The solutions that most theorists propose make the problem seem more tractable than it is. Because their solutiosn requirethe rejection of rival theories, they discount much of the disagreement that gives rise to the problem in the first place.

長文すいません。 Firms are cashing in on the success of Japan’s women’s soccer team ahead of the World Cup final, offering everything from dolls dressed in Nadeshiko kit to uniforms for dogs. And for fans of a certain kind, there’s even branded toilet paper. Nadeshiko, as the team is called, faces off against the United States in the Women’s World Cup final on Monday. Blue replica uniforms have long been a requisite when rooting for the national team. Tokyo-based Famous Co., which makes canine outfits, has given the trend a twist by making frilly ones for female dogs. It started making them during the Women’s World Cup in 2011, in which Nadeshiko quickly garnered laurels and a national following. The president of Famous, Sanae Muto, said there had been requests before the tournament for Nadeshiko dog outfits, but the company was unsure the investment would pay off. “Their popularity was not high, so we were kind of hesitant,” she said. As the team advanced, customers started asking if there were Nadeshiko uniforms for dogs and the firm came to realize there was a business opportunity, Muto said. It now makes frilly tutus, perfect for any Japanese pampered pooch. She said the Nadeshiko dog outfits are not exactly hot items in between World Cups. But as the season approached this year, more stores placed orders, so it prepared 20 times more than it produced in 2011. Tokyo-based toy-maker Tomy Co. released a limited-edition Nadeshiko Japan model of the popular Licca doll series in May.

What may be most interesting, however, is that near the critical point a gel can be described in a universal mathematical language that seems to apply to all critical phenomena, even in the most disparate physical systems.

I can't stop crying. I can't go on any longer. It's just too painful to see everyone moving forward in life and full of hope and happiness While I'm still stuck at the same place, forever. I'm far behind everyone and never can catch up. Compared to them, I'm so worthless and garbage, there's nothing good about me. I had been holding onto the hope of being able to be "normal" someday but now it turned out to be nothing but a false hope, I should give up everything and put an end to this painful sad lonely life. Because what's the point of living when all you can feel is just pain and hopelessness? So goodbye. thanks for everything mother. You're the only thing that kept me from throwing myself in front of train. I love you so much! I don't have nothing to say to my sister and father because they don't care about me and so I don't care about them either. So yeah. That's all I need to say. Bye
