Stroke: Speech and Language Problems - Topic Overview
Some people have speech and language problems after a stroke. These problems may involve any or all aspects of language use, such as speaking, reading, writing, and understanding the spoken word. Speech and language problems (aphasia) usually occur when a stroke affects the right side of the body. Trouble communicating can be very frustrating. When you talk to someone who has had a stroke, be patient, understanding, and supportive.
The following are tips for helping someone who has speech and language problems:
Silent Stroke: What You Need to Know
Have you had a stroke? How could you tell? A stroke is a sudden stop of blood supply to part of the brain. Some people have strokes without ever knowing it. These so-called silent strokes either have no easy-to-recognize symptoms, or you don't remember them. But they do cause permanent damage in your brain. If you've had more than one silent stroke, you may have thinking and memory problems. They can also lead to more severe strokes.
Read the Silent Stroke: What You Need to Know article > >
- Speak directly to him or her—not to a companion, even if that person is an interpreter—and speak in second, not third, person: "How are you feeling today?"
- Maintain eye contact.
- Speak slowly and simply in a normal tone of voice. People who have speech and language problems are not deaf.
- Give him or her adequate time to respond.
- Listen carefully.
- Focus on what the person is saying, not how he or she is saying it.
- Don't fill in with a word or sentence unless you are asked.
- Ask the person to rephrase or repeat something if you do not understand.
- Put the person—not the impairment—first.
- Limit conversations to small groups or one on one. Large group conversations may be difficult for your loved one to follow.

The additional review "adds a new level of rigor to the DHS contracting process," officials wrote.
The new procedure is among several initiatives to improve efficiency at the department that began in March.
Among the efficiency review initiatives, DHS is moving to acquire enterprise software licenses, track fleet usage electronically and redeploy refurbished IT equipment, said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Also, the department is conducting an assessment of all full-time and part-time employees and contractors to improve management.
Over the next 60 days, the department will begin increasing usage of blanket purchase agreements for office supplies, implementing energy efficiencies at DHS facilities and standardizing and consolidating employee trainings and orientations.
Cost savings achieved through the efficiency review initiatives in fiscal 2009 include:
--Immigration and Customs Enforcement estimates it will recover more than $1.7 million by reducing the number of conferences it holds, and using government facilities for them. ICE said it will save $93,000 by reducing printing and distribution of its annual report.
--The Transportation Security Administration will convert its workforce satisfaction survey to Web-based delivery use its in-house resources to create it, to save $111,000.
--Customs and Border Protection and ICE have introduced voluntary conversion of bi-weekly leave and earnings statements from paper to online, generating $250,000 in savings annually.
--Office of the Inspector General will reduce training and planning activities to save $66,000.

The National Information Exchange Model's usefulness extends far beyond its origins in justice and law enforcement.
I think the focus should be on large business contracts over $1 million.
Let's see if this new drive towards efficiency has a negative impact on small business contracting within DHS. I, for one, would like to see that statistic when it's all said and done.

Work detailsAmong the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix (1998)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Realistic fiction,Population police have a law that only allows families to have 2 kids and no more. Luke happen to be the 3rd child born in the family and has had to spend his whole life hiding in the house due to fear of being seen. If the population police find out about Luke they would take him away and possibly kill him like all the other 3rd children they have found. Luke gets new neighbors and soon discovers that there is another 3rd child living there. He sneaks over to her house and they soon become friends and they start talking about starting a rally with all the other 3rd children to over throw the rule. It was alright. Sad and scary. Perhaps the series improves later. Luke has never been to school, much less even ventured outside where his neighbours could see. Luke is a shadow child, an illegal third child in a world where families are only allowed two children. However, when he breaks the rules and meets another shadow child, they decide fight back. An engaging and fast-paced read that looks at what the consequences of regulating families and controlling population could be. I was shocked at the lengths the authorities will go to to stamp out third children in this novel. A book recommended for grade 6-7 readers. A YALSA Best Book for YA top ten. among the hidden wasn't the best book but it was good. I liked all the suspense in the book. Among The Hidden was an amazing book, loved the suspense loved the thriller and I loved the characters and all of the dialogue just the whole entire book was amazing. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (2)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689824750, Paperback)Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside. Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to? (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:31:12 -0400) In a future where the Population Police enforce the law limiting a family to only two children, Luke has lived all his twelve years in isolation and fear on his family's farm, until another "third" convinces him that the government is wrong.

What type of TV aerial to buy?
Likes # 0
Posted January 2, 2012 at 10:20AM
Hi Folks
I am thinking of buying a widescreen TV for my bedroom (approx. 24 inch). However, I haven't bought a TV for a long time (approx. 15 years), so wanted some up to date information.
If I do go ahead and buy the TV, would I need to buy a separate aerial? I presume this would be called an internal aerial?
Also, wouldn't it be better if I get the lead from the external aerial (on top of the roof), and attach it to the back of the TV?

Better if you attach to the external aerial
I have one connected in a bedroom to a loft aerial but get occasional freezes and that's in a good reception area.
A good site to give you lots of info on aerials and connections to various TV equipment is Jim's Aerials

If you are in the London area it is having transmitter change-over in April when the analogue is disappearing and digital altered. Things may alter then so only make major changes after that date.

I have (at 74) installed two external digital tv aerials on my roof. A good aerial is about £30 and do ensure cable is well connected, If you are very close to a transmitter a loft aerial may suffice.If your existing signal is good you could get a splitter so a bedroom socket could come from the downlead from the outside aerial - a straight splitter or a signal boost type. If you have a good signal a simple splitter may suffice.

tullie. Sorry , in my post I meant normal aerials , not specifically digital.I have two as it is easier than a splitter due to the geography of my house.

Clearly there is no such thing as a digital aerial because an aerial responds to the RF carrier regardless of the form of modulation. However, I believe the term is loosely used to describe an antenna with adequate bandwidth to receive all Freeview channels. In some areas narrow band aerials were fitted for analogue and are not appropriate for reception of all digital channels. Hence being told one needs a digital aerial is just a way of saying that a different model is required. It does not necessarily mean that one is being encouraged to buy something which is unnecessary.

You have missed loads of TV in the 15 years...
Your existing external ariel would be best, as long as it points in the right direction, just compare it with nearby ones...

Inscribed Angles - Concept
Brian McCall
Brian McCall
Univ. of Wisconsin
J.D. Univ. of Wisconsin Law school
Brian was a geometry teacher through the Teach for America program and started the geometry program at his school
Inscribed angles are angles whose vertices are on a circle and that intersect an arc on the circle. The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the intercepted arc and half the measure of the central angle intersecting the same arc. Inscribed angles that intercept the same arc are congruent.
Inscribed angles are different from central angles because their vertex is on this is on the circle so if I were to draw in two radii which would form a central angle aoc there's a special relationship between the central angle and this inscribed angle when they share the same intercepted arc from a to c and that special relationship is written in these two equations. First one says that this inscribed angle abc is equal to half of this central angle aoc. Another way of saying that is in terms of the intercepted arc. If we have an intercepted arc ac its measure is going to be twice as much as the intercepted arc. If I had to flip that around, this is going to be half of the intercepted arc.
The second key thing about inscribed angles are when they intercept the same arc so here we have one inscribed angle its vertex is on the circle and I have two endpoints, one right here and one right here, and if I were to pick a random point somewhere on this circle and draw in two chords to where the endpoints of the other inscribed angle are so now we've created two inscribed angles that have the same intercepted arc. If they have the same intercepted arc then they must be congruent, so that's going to be helpful when you're trying to problem solve when you have inscribed angles and remember the other key thing is that an inscribed angle is equal to half of it's central angle and half of the intercepted arc.

its hard to focus when the teacher is really really really goodlooking"
i like how it took you 3 minutes and 8 seconds to accomplish what my teacher couldn't in 3 days"

I wrote this today before English, any comments are welcome ^^ I was mostly inspired from a..bumper sticker I saw, "Well-behaved women, seldom make history"
A ghost;
Always moving amongst the shadows.
Eyes and soul untained by worldly pressures.
She looks up, meeting the gaze of one who has spoken her name.
He looks around, then focuses his gaze away.
She goes without notice, too afraid to speak out.
Again she sees the face, of the one who called her name.
She goes to speak,
But remembers she is not know, and continues on,
So she lives, and so she dies.

This stuff kicks butt! Work really well on plastic and smooth parts. Did a really good job taking ground in mud off of my white/clear woods tank on my KTM. Also does a good job on cleaning baked / caked on mud that seems to always stick to radiator hoses and head pipes. Not perfect but waaaaay better than Simple Green or others.

Work to replace the N.C. 16 bridge over Interstate 40 in Conover may begin as early as Feb. 27.
N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) awarded a $3.1 million contract to replace the bridge to Blythe Development Co., of Charlotte. Work to replace the old bridge in its existing location is expected to be completed by Nov. 15.
All lanes of I-40 will remain open during construction, except during short periods of time at night when new girders are set.
The bridge was built in 1957, and transportation officials have deemed it both functionally obsolete and structurally deficient.
Pennsylvania groundhog Punxsutawny Phil saw shadows this morning, and he's predicting six more weeks of winter.

Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his oak stump in central Pennsylvania this morning to find shadows awaiting him.
The result of the 126th annual Groundhog Day tradition predicts six more weeks of winter. Although since winter has been unusually mild in western North Carolina, that might not be such a bad thing.
The announcement Thursday morning drew groans from more than 18,000 people assembled at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, a city about 65 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Finishing their high school careers where they started them together, Maiden quarterback Matt Johnson and running back Will Jenkins signed their National Letters of Intent on Wednesday.
Johnson joins the first-ever recruiting class at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, while Jenkins signed to play for Fayetteville State University next season.
In 2011, Johnson ran for 1,789 yards, threw for another 1,077 yards and scored 30 offensive touchdowns (22 rushing TDs, eight passing). On defense, he collected 41 tackles (31 solo) and intercepted one pass.
Five Catawba County football players made their college choices official during Wednesday's National signing day.
Foard lineman Tanner Fleming, Bandys lineman Travis McCorkle and Hickory quarterback Kyle Johnson signed.
Fleming, who is 6-2, 280 pounds, decided to play for the Air Force in 2012. He had a solid senior season defensively for the Tigers, racking up 80 tackles, including 25 for a loss, and 12 sacks.
Fleming also blocked 12 kicks, including three in Foard's season finale against Hickory, and forced two fumbles.
Lenoir-Rhyne football coach Mike Houston announced 23 recruits signed for the 2012 season on Wednesday.
Twelve players in the class are North Carolina natives, but the class also includes players from Georgia (eight), South Carolina (two) and Texas (one).
Signings include nine offensive and defensive linemen, including Placid Ajoku, Callan Gillison, Lucas Hayes, Chris Phillips, Logan Reach, Jacob Slagle, Bryan Veazey, Nathan Benfield and Ben Carrion.

Barbara Seitz McCombs, 97, of Newton, died Jan. 31, 2012, at Abernethy Laurels in Newton. The McCombs family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
Catherine B. Kidd died Jan. 31, 2012, after a long battle with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. A memorial service will be at a later date.
After sitting vacant for more than a year, Catawba Valley Community College's old student bookstore has new life.
Shelves that were recently empty are now filled — not with books, but with granola bars, crackers, Rice Krispies Treats, even canned soup and vegetables.
It's a snack bar, and the best part is it's free.
Buc's Cupboard officially opened on the first floor of CVCC's Student Services building this week, giving all students access to a food pantry that requires no fees or money from students.
Claremont is moving full steam ahead.
Over the past several years, things have changed in Claremont. After seeing plants and jobs leave the area like the rest of Catawba County, the city has eyed recent successes that it wants to continue in the future.
New businesses like the Claremont Florist, O'Cup restaurant and Claremont Hardware and Supply, have filled formerly vacant storefronts, and the city's business park is busy with new partners.
New WiFi access downtown and planned updates to existing parks have also connected the community.
