    Anyone need/want a hearing aid?

    From what I understand, a BTE can be more powerful for cheaper cause the parts inside can be made slightly bigger, but a BTE can also be programmed for any level of loss.

    Disability for obesity related health problems

    I can agree that some people may be poor as a result of poor choices, but to say all poverty is the result of poor planning is absurd.

    Disability for obesity related health problems

    Not everyone can afford an elite education, and only a select few who apply get accepted, financial aid or a scholarship. Not everyone wants to be a doctor or a lawyer. So it is every person's fault that their parents couldn't send them to Harvard, or that their passion just happens to lie in a...

    Is being deaf a disability or not?

    Once the person adjusts, though, it's no longer a disability. If they never adjust, then it remains a disability to them.

    Disability for obesity related health problems

    1) Where are these food pantries located and how easy are they to get to? 2) How many are there in relation to fast food places? 3) Is there any sort of requirement for eligibility? 4) If they do offer food, do they provide enough food per person/family to live on exclusively?

    Disability for obesity related health problems

    :wtf: Bad planning isn't the only reason people are poor. THere are some people out there who are poor because they didn't plan well. I know a few of those kinds of people myself, the kind of people that blew away their money on drugs and then couldn't make rent. But there are also poor people...

    Disability for obesity related health problems

    Not only that, but much harder to access. Where I live, there is one farmer's market half an hour away that runs once a week from 9 AM to 3PM. Most people work within that window of time. There's also a McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell all within 5 minutes walking distance of my house, all...

    How Jewish tradition marginalized the deaf

    There's a lot of Jewish Deaf people. Marlee Matlin and Shoshannah Stern come to mind. Not all Jewish people are ablist. Like the article says, some Jewish organizations interpreted their services and even started schools for the deaf.

    Help me out: I need a CD (certificate of depositexpert

    Not sure where to add the APY. Maybe do two calculations, one with 5 compounding periods and the APY rate and another with 60 and the regular interest rate. It's too late for me to think any more but hopefully someone else will pitch in.

    Help me out: I need a CD (certificate of depositexpert

    Oops you're right about the 5 years. :giggle: T = 5 So does APY count as annual compound interest?

    Help me out: I need a CD (certificate of depositexpert

    The formula for simple interest is: F = P ( 1 + R / N ) ^ ( N * T ) Where : F = final amount P = initial amount = 1000 R = interest rate = .0327 N = number of compounding periods = 60 (assuming it compounds monthly) T = Time ( in years ) = 10 Don't know what ARP rate is but if you tell me I...

    Identification of signers in Retail stores?

    Good idea in situations where it might not be obvious, like a flight attendant on a plane. You might not know a passenger is Deaf and they would much more likely see your badge given the small space of an airplane. In a retail store, you could probably gauge if someone's Deaf and speak and sign...

    DOD Asks: How Would You Feel Showering With Gays?

    Even in that case, does the military have any grounds to oppose a child from a previous relationship? Just pointing out that there are ways for same-sex couples to have kids, so the issue of housing a same-sex couple with kids would come up. To answer the original question about whether gay...
