  • Spread the Word 2016 | Issue 1 | Vol 64 Vol MESSAGE
    MESSAGE Vol 64 | Issue 1 | 2016 Able spread the word the spread through theBody ofChrist Enabling the Disabled Letter from the PRESIDENT Revealing Brokenness When Jesus and His disciples come upon a blind man in John chapter 9, his disciples ask Jesus who had sinned to cause this man to be born disabled. They wanted to know if it was the man’s or his parents’ sin that made him blind. But Jesus’ response is surprising and profound. Jesus tells His disciples — and us — that a disability is not the result of someone’s sin; rather, it is an opportunity for God's work to be revealed. According to the United Nations, roughly 15 percent of the world’s population — an estimated one billion people — live with some sort of disability, and nearly 80 percent of them live in the developing world. That means that the world is overflowing with opportunities for God’s work to be revealed. Across the globe, people with disabilities face increased levels of discrimination and decreased levels of education and employment, but our missionaries have seized this as an opportunity to share Christ’s love. From a ministry to disabled refugees who have fled the war in eastern Ukraine to a school for disabled children in South Africa, God is revealing His love in amazingly beautiful ways. As you read through this issue of Message, I hope you will be inspired by the way God takes what seems to be broken and uses it for His glory, and I pray that God will also work in each of our areas of brokenness to reveal Himself.

His family had been saddlemakers for generations. At the age of three, he wounded an eye while playing with some tools in his father’s workshop. He turned out to be a lively, inquisitive child, characteristics which his family nurtured even after his blindness became permanent and total. After attending his village school, he entered the ROYAL INSTITUTION FOR THE YOUNG BLIND in Paris at the age of ten. This was housed in the former St. Firmin seminary at N° 68 rue St. Victor. These buildings, no longer standing, were located where N°° 2, 4 & 4 b rue des Écoles are now to be found. It was a cold, damp, uncomfortable, unhealthy place, ridden with tuberculosis, which Louis Braille was to die of.

Examples of applications are given, including its use by computer programers, students, taxpayer service representatives, and news broadcasters. The machine is, for blind users, a braille counterpart of the familiar teletype page printer used by the sighted. TACCOM, a wireless signalling device for the deaf blind, is also described. Making use of a radio-activated pocket-size vibrator, TACCOM is reported to permit remote paging of deaf blind pErsons and give them a number of ancilliary capabilities such as the sensing of ambient sound and light cues and communication of simple messages from a distance.

Word count (exclusive of appendix and bibliography): 83,423 words Abstract This study examines historically the provision of literature to Britain’s blind community. It addresses issues relevant to present debates on the blind person’s right to equality of access to information, and the state’s responsibility to ensure this. Changing perceptions of blindness and blind people’s needs are traced through hitherto neglected primary sources, including institutional records, government reports, conference proceedings and journals. The legacies of individuals who invented reading systems and of institutions and associations that shaped attitudes and practice are evaluated.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Where Silence has Lease Acknowledgements First I would like to thank the members of my thesis committee Artemis Alexiadou, that she has agreed on supervising this rather exotic topic, and Diane Wormsley for her support and undertaking the long journey to Germany. I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who have substantially contributed to my interest in braille and working with children who have a visual impairment, these are Dietmar Böhringer from Nikolauspflege Stuttgart, Maggie Granger, Diana King and above all Rosemary Parry, my braille teacher from The West of England School and College for young people with little or no sight, Exeter, UK. My special thanks goes to students and staff at The West of England School, the RNIB New College Worcester and the Royal National College for the Blind, Hereford for participating in the study. Further to those who helped to make this study possible: Paul Holland for enabling my numerous visits to The West of England School, Ruth Hardisty for co-ordinating the study, Chris Stonehouse and Mary Foulstone for their support in Worcester and Hereford and to Maggie Granger and Diana and Martin King for their friendship and for making things work even if braille was the most important thing in the world.
