Seismic engineers and government planning departments use these values to determine the appropriate earthquake loading for buildings in each zone, with key identified structures ( such as hospitals, bridges, power plants ) needing to survive the maximum considered event ( MCE ).

Software such as Boxee, GB-PVR, SageTV, MediaPortal and Beyond TV support the use of Windows MCE and other remote controls.

Deaf sign languages make use of spatial relationships, facial expression, and body positioning, while MCE tends to be a linear and purely manual communication system, not to be confused with a language.

Some opponents of MCE note that the use of MCE often occurs with an attempt to deny or replace the natural languages of the deaf community, which are seen as retarding the child's chances of acquiring of ' good English '.

Cued Speech is unique among forms of MCE in that it does not use borrowed or invented signs in an attempt to convey English.

CASE, one of the more recently developed forms of MCE, combines the grammatical structure used in Signed English with the use of concepts rather than words, as is done in ASL.

Many models of TDDs ( Telecommunications Device for the Deaf ) still have a built-in acoustic coupler, which allow more universal use with pay phones and for 911 calls by deaf people.

In these cases, scammers use TRS, a US federally funded relay service where an operator or a text / speech translation program acts as an intermediary between someone using an ordinary telephone and a deaf caller using TDD or other teleprinter device.

The scammer may claim they are deaf, and that they must use a relay service.

They selected " naturally spontaneous and easy signs in common use by deaf people of different countries " to make the language easy to learn.

Subsequently, it was developed informally by deaf and hearing interpreters, and came to include more grammar — especially linguistic features that are thought to be universal among sign languages, such as role shifting and the use of classifiers.

British Sign Language ( BSL ) is the sign language used in the United Kingdom ( UK ), and is the first or preferred language of some deaf people in the UK ; there are 125, 000 deaf adults in the UK who use BSL plus an estimated 20, 000 children.

Many thousands of people who are not deaf also use BSL, as hearing relatives of deaf people, sign language interpreters or as a result of other contact with the British deaf community.

The Let's Sign BSL and fingerspelling graphics are being developed for use in education by deaf educators and tutors and include many of the regional signs referred to above ...

* Video relay service and video remote interpreting ( VRI ) services also use a third-party telecommunication service to allow a deaf or hard-of-hearing person to communicate quickly and conveniently with a hearing person, through a sign language interpreter.

Electronic mail and online chat have reduced the need for deaf and hard-of-hearing people to use a third-party Telecommunications Relay Service in order to communicate with the hearing and other hearing impaired people.

Research literature shows that no matter whether deaf people use sign language, speech, or assistive technology like the hearing aid and the cochlear implant prosthesis, the majority of deaf adults eventually marry another deaf person and join the deaf community to share in the rewards of the language and culture.

In 1984, UNESCO accepted sign language for use in education of deaf children and youth.

Fourteen deaf and cognitively impaired adults participated in the pilot study, and all were able to learn to use manual signs ; improved behaviour was also noted.

A study by Johns Hopkins University determined that for a three-year-old child who receives cochlear implants can save $ 30, 000 to $ 50, 000 in special-education costs for elementary and secondary schools as they are more likely to be mainstreamed in school and thus use fewer support services than similarly deaf children.

Alexander Graham Bell attempted to teach the deaf to speak through the use of two devices-the phonautograph, created by Édouard-Léon Scott ’ s, and a manometric flame.

Few states make effective use of their existing vocational education programs or funds for the purpose of attracting new industry.

They therefore reject the state, seeing it as an aggressive entity which steals property ( through taxation and expropriation ), initiate aggression, are a compulsory monopoly on the use of force, use their coercive powers to benefit some businesses and individuals at the expense of others, create monopolies, restrict trade, and restrict personal freedoms via drug laws, compulsory education, conscription, laws on food and morality, and the like.
