Verse 5 takes in Ptolemy I Suter of Egypt (king of the South) and Seleucid I Nicator (king of the North). Verse 6 happened in about 252 BC when Antiochus II married Berenice, the daughter of Ptolemy.
"Antiochus II (Theos). Antiochus II, who reigned 261-247 BC, continued the struggle with the Egyptians, but finally made peace by marrying Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus of Egypt." Collier
"Berenice. d. c.246 BC Daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his sister Arsinoe II; (Berenice married) (c.252) Antiochus II Theos and persuaded him to renounce (his) former wife Laodice and her children; after (the) death of Antiochus, (Berenice) was killed by supporters of Laodice, thus provoking her brother Ptolemy III Euergetes into (a) Third Syrian War against Laodice and Seleucus II." Infopedia
Verses 7 & 8 are historically correct in the revenge that Ptolemy III took on the king of the North for the murder of his sister Berenice.
"PTOLEMY III (282?-221 bc ), called Ptolemy Euergetes ("benefactor"), king of Egypt (246-221 bc ), the son of Ptolemy II. He reunited Cyrenaica and Egypt, invaded the Seleucid Kingdom of Syria to avenge the murder of his sister and her infant son, the heir to the Seleucid throne, and established Egyptian naval predominance in the Aegean Sea. Ptolemy III was a liberal patron of the arts and added to the collection of the Alexandrian library. His rule marked the height of Egyptian power, prosperity, and wealth under the Ptolemies." Infopedia
Verse 9 tells us that the king of the North would not like Ptolemy III for ransacking his kingdom. Therefore Seleucus II turned on Egypt and invaded it. But he was not successful. Because of a revolt by his younger brother, Antiochus Hierax, he had to withdraw.
"Seleucus II Callius (r. 247-226 b.c.). With Antiochus II's son, Seleucus II, a new factor, dynastic strife, enters the history of the dynasty. When the king, at war with Egypt, appointed his younger brother, Antiochus Hierax (the Hawk), viceroy of all Asia Minor north and west of the Taurus Mountains, Antiochus revolted. With the Gauls as allies he inflicted a severe defeat on Seleucus at Ancyra (modern Ankara) in about 236 b.c. and forced him to cede the western half of his empire." Collier
In Verse 10 we are told that his sons "will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood and carry the battle as far as his fortress." In history, we have the fulfillment of this prophecy.
"ANTIOCHUS III, called The Great (242-187 bc ), king of Syria (223-187 bc ), the son of Seleucus II and brother of Seleucus III (r. 225-223 bc ), whom he succeeded. He was the most distinguished of the Seleucids. Having made vassal states out of Parthia and Bactria, he warred successfully against the Egyptian king Ptolemy V and in 198 bc obtained possession of all of Palestine and Lebanon." Infopedia
"Antiochus III, c.242-187 BC, succeeded to the throne of the SELEUCIDS in 223, when the kingdom was controlled by a powerful minister and rebellion was spreading in Iran. He defeated the rebels, rid himself of the minister, and conquered much of Phoenicia, Syria, and Palestine from the Ptolemies of Egypt." Grolier
But the king of the South, "Ptolemy IV won (a) decisive victory over Antiochus at Raphia (217);" Infopedia
War after war continued between the dynasties of the houses of the Ptolemies and the Seleucids. During this time we take a little break from the wars that are going on between these two rivals and see one going on that involves the Jews.

Ape Out, the long-awaited zoo breakout sim from indie developer Gabe Cuzzillo and publisher Devolver Digital officially arrives on Nintendo Switch in early 2019.
Everything about Ape Out is utter chaos, from the drum-centric jazz soundtrack to the endless gore the rampaging gorilla leaves in its wake. Players essentially make their way through corridors and hallways destroying anyone who gets in their path. Knock out guards with your bare fists, or use humans as a shield against armed guards with guns. You can even set yourself on fire and ignite your enemies if you're feeling especially creative.
It's all terribly violent, but the game's got some serious style, aided by very hip, minimalist artwork from QWOP creator Bennett Foddy. If you're looking to try something a bit different, Ape Out could very well do the trick.
Ape Out launches on the Switch eShop on February 7, 2019.

Oilfield services provider Schlumberger N.V (NYSE: SLB – $81.61) reported second quarter results that declined year-over-year, but was able to beat consensus forecasts on earnings and met on revenues. The company also said it reduced its workforce by another 8,000 in Q2, bringing its total reductions to 16,000 for the year. Chairman and CEO Paal Kibsgaard said that market conditions "worsened further in most parts of our global operations" in the latest period, but "in spite of the continuing headwinds we now appear to have reached the bottom of the cycle." Schlumberger further streamlined its overhead, infrastructure and asset base in the second quarter which led to a $1.9 billion non-cash impairment charge for fixed assets, inventory and multi-client seismic data. The company said it will also book $646 million in restructuring charges in Q2 for the workforce reduction. For the quarter, SLB reported adjusted earnings of $0.23 per share, compared with the prior-year period's $0.88 and two cents ahead of Street views. Revenue was $7.2 billion, down 20% from $9 billion in the same quarter last year and compared to the consensus estimate for revenue of $7.1 billion.
Wall Street is nevertheless looking past the hard times. The bounce in oil prices since the beginning of 2016 has helped Schlumberger's stock price come off its February lows. Relative to its peers in the energy services space, France's SLB has the strongest exposure to the Eastern Hemisphere, which is viewed as a positive, although friction in Russia and Iraq could provide some localized headwinds. Over the remainder of 2016, I don't expect shares to rally much unless oil prices suddenly rebound. Over the longer-term, however, the shares' recovery potential to 2019-2021 is attractive, and may especially suit conservative investors given the stock's solid finances, relatively strong cash flows and a dividend yield of 2.5%.

If you're seeing a mismatch in your browser experience somehow, then' I'd suggest first clearing your browser's cache and cookies. If that doesn't help, then try using a cacheless browsing window (FireFox private window, Chrome incognito, etc.), then an entirely different browser.

Heat star Jimmy Butler was back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing Miami's past two games for personal reasons.
Butler didn't travel with the team for Monday night's game. He also didn't play Saturday night when the Heat routed the Cavaliers 124-105 in Miami.

Miami is 36-21 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Every time i read the stories, I just want to take them all in and love them. Cassi and Ben are so sweet, I can't believe people do things like they do… Someone at the HRN bunny bash told me that Ben was considered a problem bunny before we took him in, you'd never know it! He's the sweetest thing!

Buy this shirt: https://ewshirt.com/product/margot-for-it-shirt/
Time itself becomes unsettling and unfamiliar, an amorphous blur that is also fragmented in new, staccato ways: pockets of time when I squeeze in work, the Margot For It Shirt in addition I really love this minutes before the sun is up when the park feels empty enough to run in. Is today a home day? my four-year-old asks. He's still fuzzy on what days constitute the weekend, so this is the term we've adopted in our house to explain whether or not he has to rush to school.
It's not, I explain, except we will be staying at home, like we have for the Margot For It Shirt in addition I really love this past several days, and will do for some time to come. He looks at me like I'm confused. Surely this cannot be the case, his squinting eyes say. By Brooke Bobb By Emma Specter By Kristen Radtke The advice that has been circulating on the internet is right: A schedule is essential. We cling to it—that lone sheet of paper that sits on our dining room table like a talisman from the land of offices in skyscrapers, corporate cafeterias, and laser printers. They have nowhere to go, nothing to do. And yet I hustle us through breakfast. We're running late, I say as the clock approaches 8:30, and the children, retaining the mad metabolism of the normal work week or just reflecting back my frazzled energy, scramble. It's important, I feel, to keep on track, though the stakes—what will happen if we derail this schedule—feel both paramount and inconsequential.

Chapter 10. Surround sound
We have in the earlier sections, looked at analog and digital reproduction of music first and foremost in the form of ordinary stereo/hi-fi sound. But the really big development lies in the segment multi-channel sound and Home Cinema. Where you can work with several channels of digital sound, which can be compressed and stored in different ways.
Digital advantages
Digital sound systems have great advantages compared with the analog. First and foremost, it is much easier to store tracks precisely and safely. If you have a digital version of the music, then it is very easy to distribute completely identical copies. Analog media like LP records and cassette and VHS tapes inevitably lose some of their quality.
The music industry made early use of digitizing with the normal audio CDs, which replaced LP records. These audio CDs contain a stereo sound with only two channels, right and left. Stereo sound has been used since the 1930s, and within the area of analog sound, it gives the best quality of sound.
But the electronics industry wanted to make even better systems than those in stereo. With a stereo system the source of sound is usually in front of the listener. If you place several loudspeakers all around a person, then it will give new options for sound reproduction (see also page 3). Due to the development of special multimedia chips for DSP (Digital Signal Processing) in the second half of the 1990s, things got moving in earnest within the digital sound and video industry. These small DSP devices are found today in all DVD players, in sound cards, in mp3 gadgets, etc. And with them it became possible to create a digital surround sound.
What is surround sound?
When you increase a sound system from two to, for example, six loudspeakers, then the sound signals will reach the listener from all sides. This makes it possible to program the sound so that there is a completely different feeling of space. This form for sound reproduction is recognised from cinemas, where loudspeakers are put in many places in the locality and where you can, for example, hear the sound of a train move through the audience.
For use in the home, surround sound is used for:
The absolutely most widespread of these is seen in the Home Cinema systems, which will probably be used as stereo systems in the home more and more in the future.
Spatial effect with 5.1 sound
The most widespread form for surround sound consists of a so-called 5.1 sound which is often illustrated with this symbol:
There are five main channels for sound plus an extra bass channel in a system with 5.1 sound. The six channels are distributed as below:
The films soundtrack is encoded so that the main characters speech comes out of the centre channel. The rest of the sound and music is encoded with spatial effect to the four front and back channels. Finally, the LFE channel works either as a subwoofer or for special effects such as earthquakes and such like.
With a Home Cinema sound system (as in Figure 29 on page 3) you can reproduce the soundtrack of a film with the same effects and the same spatial effects as is heard in a cinema. The system consists of in all 6 loudspeakers, which should be placed in the room as in the arrangement in Figure 54.
The LFE loudspeaker functions also as a subwoofer so it can be put anywhere:
Figure 54. Theoretical arrangement of a 5.1 sound system, where the centre channel should be placed near the television.
Dolby Digital
The American company Dolby Laboratoriums has worked with professional sound for more than 30 years, and their norms and standards are widespread within the electronics and entertainment industries.
In 1997, the multi-channel sound system Dolby Digital was introduced onto the mass market (that is to say, all of us ordinary users), and it is used for sound, for example, on absolutely the majority of DVD players. We are talking about a digital and compressed sound format, which can give a multi-channel sound with a quality, which equals mp3.
The compression principle is called AC-3. It works almost in the same way as mp3 and as Sonys ATRAC by removing unnecessary data from the soundtrack. With Dolby Digital, the soundtrack of a film can be encoded in a number of qualities like, for example, 5.1 sound with a bit rate of, for example, 448 Kbps. You can settle for a stereo or mono sound, if the film involved is an old film, which is to be reproduced on DVD. These sorts of sounds are called Dolby Digital 2.0 and 1.0.
Figure 55.The DVD box always contains information about the sound system. The example on the left has a 5.1 sound, the one the right has a stereo sound.
So Dolby Digital sound is encoded with AC-3 and, therefore, is decoded similarly. What is smart with the system, however, is that it is compatible with normal stereo and mono.
In practice, this means that if you connect a DVD player to an old-fashioned mono television, then all the sound is gathered in a common channel quite automatically, even though the sound is encoded in the 5.1 format. You can also get the sound in stereo. If you have a Home Cinema system, then you will get the full Surround sound. Some players have a circuit called TruSurround, which can encode 5.1 sound into a stereo signal with an artificial spatial effect.
The big system
A Home Cinema system can be built up in many different ways. Common, however, for them is the fact that there has to be both decoders and amplifiers/loudspeakers for all the channels:
Figure 56. The different components that are part of a Home Cinema system.
A lot is happening within the development of Home Cinema systems in these years. New products are put on the market every week. Most DVD players have built-in Dolby Digital decoders, but require a connection to a surround amplifier, so that the sound can be amplified up to the loudspeaker system. More and more integrated systems are coming onto the market, which will probably be one of the big sales successes in the coming years. Her e you can get lots of functions built together in the same box:
An integrated player like this can work both as a DVD and stereo system, but can also play normal CDs, mp3 files and much more. The only thing missing is that manufacturers can find out how to build in a MiniDisc.
If the system also includes a complete set of loudspeakers, then we are talking about a Home Theater In a Box (HTIB) (see Figure 29 on page 3). The biggest problem with these complete sets is that the loudspeakers are not always of a good quality and that is a shame. Because, with good loudspeakers, a Home Cinema system could both be a compact and a versatile hi-fi-system with a high-class sound.

Long before the introduction of legal distillation of whiskey in Texas, pioneers were making whiskey illegally, known as white lightning. Laws from the late 1800s forced many establishments to close and this was before the passage of the national Prohibition law in the 1900s. Many of the earlier laws were made by local jurisdictions who were allowed to decide if they were "wet" or "dry."
According to the Texas Distilled Spirits Association,the first distiller permit was granted by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in 1995. Thirteen or so years later the Commission issued only 11 more licenses. By 2016 more than 90 licenses have been issued to distillers in Texas.

Here's your chance to get to know the main characters in HIGH SPIRITS
So, what's HIGH SPIRITS all about?
1944 – ALEC EDWARDS' world was opened up when he fell in love with JEAN FRANCIS. From the quiet confines of his orderly museum where everything was catalogued, labelled and recorded, he had been propelled into the chaotic realms of romantic attachment. This was during the Second World War, a time of air raids, bombings and rationing. Then the 'worst' happened. Alec and Jean were in the museum after hours when the air raid sirens went. Alec, ever the vigilant curator, was loathed to leave his precious collections out of its case and vulnerable and insisted on finishing the job. Jean is less than impressed and a dispute ensued and just as she is in the middle of delivering a right royal ear bashing when the bomb lands…..
It's 70 something years since the bomb fell and the museum is staging an anniversary exhibition. Part of the original bomb, which caused extensive damage to a wing of the museum is going on display, alongside objects relating to the life and work of Alec. BETHAN ANDREWS is at her wit's end. As the curator of the museum she is leading on the exhibition but there is one small problem – Alec's life was dedicated to the curation and collection of objects and little is known in the museum about him personally. The museum's board of trustees has insisted on the anniversary being recognized so in desperation she puts out a public plea for help via the local paper. PATRICK HARMAN, Alec's great-great nephew, responds.
In the meantime, the local rag has pricked up its ears. Alerted by Bethan's call for help, a reporter has unearthed a long forgotten tale of ghostly lights and apparitions in the museum; of dead curators seeking their lost treasure. This led to the wealthy but totally batty BASTIAN HEDGES, the producer of the global phenomenon The Ghost Doctor ©, to bribe the Trustees with a big fat cheque, in return for filming his Midsummer Special in the museum.
Patrick arrives with his grandfather, POP, a cantankerous old man, at the museum with memorabilia. Much to Bethan's horror, she realizes that she and Patrick have crossed paths before as students, in particular at the Student Summer Ball, when Bethan threw her principles to the wind and had a drunken night of passion with Patrick. She is relieved when he appears not to recall her at all. However, she shouldn't relax. He is just being a gentleman and not letting on! For him, rather than being a blur of alcohol and regret, he rather liked her but then the cold light of day dawn and Bethan was in denial. Now they are thrown back together.
What none of them could realise is…the ghost stories are true; the curator does haunt the museum. The day the bomb dropped, it did more than just damage the wing, it killed Alec and Jean and they've spent the past 70 years watching the world go by aided and abetted by a much older ghost, that of POL, an eleven-year-old girl from the Iron Age.
The stage is now set for some ghostly intervention and for love to conquer all.
In this post, we're going to meet JEAN FRANCIS
What is the name of your character?
Meet Jean Francis Born, lived and died in Plimpton Market, a town set in the rolling South Downs.
When and where is the story set?
The story begins during the war with the prologue to set the scene as to how Alec and Jean met and fell in love before their untimely demise. It then moves onto the present day and picks up on the characters that work in the museum – Bethan, Patrick, Sal, Billy, and Seth. Unbeknown to them, their every move is being observed by three very mischievous ghosts.
What should we know about her?
Jean loves life. She's only 21 and had a job as a secretary in the law firm of Clipper, Clipper and Boughton. She likes to go to the Roxy on a Saturday night and dance, although it's not what it was before the war! She enjoys putting on a special dress and doing her hair for a night out. She's from one of the prominent families in Plimpton Market, although they have been somewhat snubbed due to a scandal decades before.
She doesn't take to dying very easily (well, who does?) and feels lost and out of place in the museum – which by her own admission, she'd never stepped foot in prior to her courtship with Alec.
What is the main conflict?
It's taken Jean some time to adjust to eternity especially as Alec revels in being in his beloved museum 24/7. Her transition has been helped by the presence of Pol and gradually she began to view the museum as her home into which she welcomed visitors –even if those visitors couldn't see her.
She often wonders about her relationship with Alec and whether she would have managed his proclivities if they'd lived. Sometimes, she wishes she could move on.
What are her personal relationships like and how do they shape her character?
Jean had been brought up in the knowledge that her family, although with a stain on their reputation due to the affair of an ancestor, were something in the town. Her parents were of independent means, although her father expected both her and her sister, Violet, to earn a living. She'd been given the job of secretary on the back of her father being a member of the local Freemasons lodge so she'd never really experienced hardship
Her relationship with Alec came as a surprise to her friends and was frowned upon by her family who hoped that one of the daughters would marry into one of the still socially respectable families and thus restore their own reputation by association.
Alec really wasn't the type that one would image Jean being attached to but there you go – love is blind!
Seventy-something years have not dulled her love of Alec but revealing herself to Bethan opens her world up far more than if she had lived and given her something to hold onto.

Salem Police Locate Third Suspected BombSalem-News.com
(SALEM ) - Salem area bomb teams have responded to a third report of a suspicious explosive device today. Police Lt. Debbie Baker says the device was located by a passing motorist at Woodside Drive and Jon Mart in South Salem.
Baker says their police bomb team disrupted this one, which is a term used when officers try to breech the bomb. "Sometimes they explode, sometimes it goes better."
She says law enforcement in Salem is very concerned. This is the third suspected bomb found in Salem today, and so far none of them appear to be fake.
Referring to the latest explosive device, Baker confirmed that it appeared to be real, "It had all the makings of it."
While nobody wants to be overly alarmed, Baker stresses that people do need to operate with an extremely high level of caution. "If anybody sees anything that looks suspicious they need to back away from it, warn other people to do the same and call us."
She says this is the third confirmed bomb located in Salem today. While the devices that were located are sent to laboratories for analysis, they should be viewed as real explosive devices.

I hope parents take the time to educate there children about suspicious looking devices and to not touch them. Kids are so curious and my fear to have a child pick one up. :(
Albert Marnell August 11, 2006 4:30 am (Pacific time)
The reason Chris is that the international allied intelligence fiction creates a chain reaction. Hysteria breeds hysteria. These are just copy cat fake threats. If further helps perpetuate the myth that we are in danger by terrorists. When the reports about the phony arrests came out yesterday, it gave the Republicans just what they want and the Tony Blair people the same thing. Fear and support for the occupation has diminished. Read the writings of Josef Goebbels the propaganda minister during the Third Reich 1933-1945. The German theaters were filled with newsreels and films like Triumph of the Will by Leni Refinstahl. Our own government has learned from experts like Mr. Goebbels how to manipulate the minds of the public. The greater the fabrication and the greater the presentation of the lie or fabrication, the more people will stand by it as if it is God's word. My older brother taught me this when I was 12 and he was 14. I was shocked and disgusted but I saw him use it to his advantage in the University that we both attended (I graduated, he did not.) He would tell the professors anything to get what he wanted, I was felt embarassed. He told the professors that my mother had cancer when he needed extra time to study for an exam, he told another professor that he had problems with his testicles, these were all PH.Ds and he was just a teenager and young adult. They all believed his stories for years until one day he came up in a conversation in the cafeteria and they started to exchange stories. For years this kid (at that time) had all of these intellectual academics fooled. They then told him and his girlfriend that they better get off of the campus as soon as possible. The lying gave him such power, power over professors and other people in the university. If the incident in the cafeteria did not occur because it was just a random happening, he would have been able to lie his way to the top.

Conversation Tips for Hearing People and People with Hearing Loss
Communication between hard of hearing and hearing people can be challenging, but can be accomplished in a way that is comfortable for everyone.
Tips for hard of hearing people
- Let others know that you have a hearing loss
- Ask for help if you require it and tell other people what you need
- Ask for repetition or clarification if you need it - don't let anyone brush you off by saying, "It's not important" - if it was important enough to say the first time, it is important enough to say a second time
- Plan who you want to interact with in social settings and suggest a quieter place where you could carry on a conversation
- Come earlier to lectures or group events so that you can find seating close to the front where you can get a good view of the speaker. In some cases, you may be able to contact the organizers of an event and ask them to reserve seating
- Learn speech reading skills. Some organizations run classes in lipreading
Hard of hearing people are often frustrated because they miss words and have difficulty trying to follow conversations. They also become frustrated when people do not accommodate their hearing loss by not making the effort to speak clearly or refusing to repeat what they have said .
People with hearing loss require a high level of focus in order to be able to catch sounds, read lips, decipher gestures, and watch body language to piece together conversations.
According to Hearinglikeme.com, a person makes approximately 13 to 15 movements per sound when they speak. They also say that trying to discern speech is like try to read "letters printed on falling snowflakes." Also, letters that sound similar also look alike on the lips when spoken such as b, m, and p.
Tips for hearing people
The following suggestions can help hearing and hard of hearing people communicate effectively with each other.
Manage the environment: Reduce or eliminate distractions and noise in the environment such as radios, music playing, or television. Take a second look around the room. Are there noisy machines there that you tend to filter out? The quieter, the better.
Also make sure that there is no bright light behind you that might be distracting for the hard of hearing person, such as sunshine streaming through a window. Good lighting, on the other hand, can help the hard of hearing person to see you clearly.
Let the hard of hearing person choose where he wants to sit or stand. The hard of hearing person knows the best whay to maximize hir ability to follow conversations in the room.
Sometimes special occasions such as holiday celebrations and family dinners can be abuzz with loud conversations and background noises. A hard of hearing person will struggle to follow conversations in these situations. Ask those attending to speak one at a time. This helps the hard of hearing person to focus on whoever is speaking and lipread, if needed
Get the person's attention before talking. A hard of hearing person may be startled if someome just starts a conversation, so it is best to get their attention first. Some acceptable attention grabbers are lightly touching a person's arm or shoulder or waving a hand. Deaf people also use attention-getting behaviors such as stomping their feet to cause vibrations, or turning a light switch off and on.
Ask the person for her full attention. Ask her to stop whatever she are doing. It is hard to carry on a conversation with someone who is cleaning or checking her email on a computer.
Resist the temptation to lean in towards their ear. Leaning in may make the hard of hearing person uncomfortable, self-conscious, and violate his personal space. Stand a normal distance away. If the person wears hearing aids, the optimum sound reception spot is 3 to 6 feet away from the listener.
Face the person when you are talking. Many hard of hearing people use lipreading to fill in the gaps in conversations. Look directly at them and maintain eye contact. Use facial expression and gestures to clarify your meaning.
Explain the topic that you will be discussing if you are opening the dialogue. This helps the listener to fill in the gaps he may not catch. Let him know when you transition to a new topic. Also be open to allowing the hard of hearing person to initiate the conversation.
Speak at a normal pace. Slow down if you tend to talk quickly. Keep in mind that a person with hearing loss needs intense concentration to follow a conversation and lipread. This process is exhausting.
Don't shout. Instead, speak clearly in a normal voice and with a normal expression on your face. Avoid dropping the volume of your voice at the end of your sentences. Shouting may cause the shape of your mouth to become distorted, making it more difficult to read. The listener may misinterpret the increased volume as anger.
Pet Peeves of people with hearing loss
Hard of hearing people don't like it when people:
- Think that that hearing loss is equal to loss of intelligence
- Assume that because the person can hear that their voices that words will automatically be understood - hearing loss or hearing aids may distort the way words are heard
- Take for granted that the hard of hearing person can follow a casual conversation
- Are impatient and won't take the time to repeat things or say things such as "never mind." This response makes the listener feel devalued
Don't repeat yourself. Determine if the person has understood you. When in doubt, rephrase what was said with more context. Don't stop trying. The hard of hearing person will be curious and become frustrated if you shrug and tell them it "wasn't important" or say "it's not important." The person may find it helpful if you write down a few words or phrases.
Don't cover your mouth so that the person can see your lips. People with moustaches or beards are harder to lipread. Don't have anything in your mouth while speaking.
Be patient. The conversation will take longer than a normal chat.
Have a sense of humor: Carrying on a conversation can be very intense for everyone. Don't be afraid to chuckle now and then or to laugh at your mistakes.
Your hub presentation here is outstanding Carola and it just proves to me what kind of person you are. Just looking at some of the other titles on your hallowed hubpage as well and I can tell you are a kind, sensitive, intelligent and caring person.
I wear hearing aids so I know all about deafness and now at my age of 55 I feel I am losing my hearing even more as I get older.
Thank you for this wonderful article which moved and touched me and it's so very nice to meet you my fellow Canadian - my name is Colin and I live with my two cats Little Miss Tiffy and Mister Gabriel at lake erie time ontario canada 8:23pm which is an hour away from Hamilton.
I will post and link your well researched article here to my FB page for all to see and read
Thanks for these very useful tips. You gave good information and easy instructions. Voted Up and Useful!
Thank you so much for writing this hub. When I was growing up, I had a friend who hearing impaired. She could understand what people were saying, if we looked at her and talked properly. She could also read lips. She taught me some sign language.( some of it was nasty:) I can't remember it now.
This is a fantastic hub.
Voted up.
Thank you for outlining the steps to helping conversation be successful for the hard of hearing. Although I only know a few people in this category right now, I'm sure I will soon know more as I am entering the "senior" age group!

My sister, her Golden Retriever Jack and I stayed for a wonderful week at this cute beach house. Close to the beach and a short walk to town. Jack couldn't get up the stairs so my sister slept downstairs on the couch which she said was very comfortable. I slept in the bedroom above the bathroom and the bed was really comfortable. It has tons of kitchen utensils, plates and glasses so you didn't have to do dishes everyday! The shower was a little odd and the door locks were hard to figure out but we would stay again. Thank you for letting us stay at your cute beach house. Hopefully we'll make a yearly trip.

We had a great time at this property at Stinson Beach. The location is perfect: the house is just a few yards from the beach with a private access lane to the beach. The beach and house are dog friendly so my pitbull Hazel also confirms her excellent quarters. The outside garden hose was perfect for making Hazel totally sand-free after her daily romps in the water. All the appliances worked fine, including the TV and Internet. The house was spacious and the two winding staircases to two separate bedrooms was interesting. We arrived in a record heat wave and the management promptly brought us a very useful electric fan, but after 2 days we no longer needed it because the cool ocean breeze brought relief to the heat wave. Every night we heard the wonderful sound of the surf. If you like the sun, the sea, mountains and redwoods, this is the place to be. We'll be back soon I hope.

My wife and two young children had a great weekend here. Very comfortable. Great beach access. Nice walk into town either on the road or on the beach. Just right for us.

This property is charming. However if you arrive in cold weather it is good to know a few things. The switches with red lights are for the heater. But is it loud like a train coming through. Property is sticked with wood but the fire lighter was empty. Looked everywhere for matches with no luck until the next day they were behind a bowl on top of the refrigerator which I did not see until I had already been to town to purchase some. Most of the space heaters did not work. So it was a cold first night because I did not know about the heater and could not get the fire going. Just a little additional information would have been helpful. Proximity to the beach is great and enclosed yard is great.

The location of this house was perfect! The neighbors were very friendly!
There were a few problems with the rental.
1. The bathroom sink has a clog it barely drains.
2.The bathroom
has problems! The shower curtains were so filthy I had to take them down . I also had to clean the shower before We used it. It was very dirty. The shower head really needs to be replaced it is really bad. The bathroom
Really needs a remodel the floors are wood and are buckling up. I think there may be mold in the bathroom due to the bad shower setup. The hand held shower head is broken. The heat lamp is burned out. The heater blower looks like a fire hazard it is rusty and full of lint and dirt. Most of the towels were all stained and really worn out.
2. The wood bed base up in the loft is broken so you sink into a hole.
The loft really needs a good vacuuming it was really dusty. There is also a lot of clutter that needs to be thrown out.
3. The living room cushions on the furniture is really dirty. We covered them with sheets to sit on them.
4. The kitchen: The stove has a broken metal piece that always fall off while cooking. The vent on the stove is full of grease. All the pots and pans were dirty. The nonstick pots and pans have all peeled and are not usable. I had no pans I could use during my stay. There isn't a blender in the kitchen. The Refrigerator water and ice taste really bad, the a Refrigerator needs a service it is full of dirt in the vents. The lights are full of bugs.
5. The deck and outdoor areas: When we arrived the deck was full of tree debree. There was tree debree all over the decks looked really neglected. The plants are barely alive.
We love working with Oceanic Realty so I hope this note does not offend you. I just thought you would appreciate knowing all the things needing attention in this vacation rental. I would want to know if it was mine.
Thank you very much!

We were a family of 6 (2 adults, 4 children, plus a Boston Terrier) who stayed 3 nights in August. We thoroughly enjoyed this cozy home & quiet neighborhood....the decor, the patio & the proximity to the beach. The kids all enjoyed sleeping in the loft. It felt like we had our own private beach as this side of the Stinson Beach is primarily for the locals. Enjoyed walking all the way to Bolinas Lagoon. Saw 2 whales, dolphins, sea lions, etc. Rented wet suits for the kids who had a blast boogie boarding. We would definitely go back!

This rental was perfect for us at the very last minute. My dog had just died and we needed to get away to Stinson and Oceanic was very helpful in helping us do that. I especially liked the comfy couch and your walks to town and the beach.

This was an enchanting weekend - I love Stinson and visit from the east bay as often as possible. Joaquin Patio is a gorgeous place to be I didn't want to come home. Being able to stay on the beach and enjoy a full moon walk home from a most enjoyable meal at the park side. Love it! Love it! we hope we can come back.

Katie N from San Rafael, CA recommends this vacation rental
Comfortable house for a small family (two adults, 1 kid and a dog). Nice patio area in the backyard. There are two spiral staircases so if you have issues climbing stairs, this probably isn't the place for you. Taking a shower in the bathtub (enclosed by a shower curtain) was a little awkward but not a deal breaker. The proximity to the beach is fabulous.

Great little beach cottage. Close to the beach, quiet cul de sac. Wonderful back deck for dinner and hanging out. The beds are doubles so they are a bit small for tall folks but we managed fine. My teenager loved the back bedroom where she could hang out in her own space. We have stayed in Stinson Beach many times and would definitely consider renting this place again.
