For eight-year-old Toby. who is deaf, watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless, becau so many of them don't have sign language versions. "We have subtitles but it goes too fast,"his dad Jarod Mills said. But now, Toby has some help thanks to an app developed by a 17-year-oldstudent, Mariella Satow, who created a signing app called SignUp.
She got the idea when she was teaching herlf American Sign Language（ASL）—one of hundredsof sign languages ud across the world. Mariella wanted to watch TV shows to help her learn, and shewas disappointed to discover how few had signed versions. It's taken a year for Mariella to develop thetechnology, with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.
The app is available in the US as a browr extension—with an interpreter appearing in a box oncethe film starts playing. It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment, becau that's where Mariellathought she could help the most children. Jarod, who works at a school for deaf children, says it was"exciting" watching Toby u Mariella's invention. He says, "Kids are getting information like anyhearing child does."
Deaf people in the UK face many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV. "A hearing person can go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there's a suitable viewinga time we're free," says 27-vear-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff. She has learned British Sign Language（BSL）, and is comfortable using subtitle
s when watching TV shows and films. But she feelshaving an interpreter would make things "more inclusive", especially for someone who might strugglewith subtitles. Stacey and Toby aren't the only people to be welcoming Mariella's app. It's now gotthousands of urs.
Stacey says a UK version of an app like SignUp would make films and TV "more accessible" for thedeaf community. Mariella is up for the challenge—and hopes to make a British Sign Language version of her app for other streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. "There are more than 300sign languages ud worldwide, so it'll take a lone time to get all of tho versions out," she says.

闭嘴英文怎么说
汉字宫全集播放Three very strong women — my mother, my grandmother and Melinda — derve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kindly teacher and librarian I’ve never written about publicly before, also had a huge influence on me.
Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she pasd away, I had an opportunity to thank her for the important role she played in my life, arousing my passion for learning at a time when I easily could have gotten turned off by school.
When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, becau I had some big defects (缺陷初中英语单词记忆), like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a comically messy desk. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wing and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the
book?” she would ask. “Why? What did you learn?” She genuinely listened to what I had to say. Through tho book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.
territorialTeachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve assigned. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much more knowledge to share. I just needed to ask. Up through high school and beyond, I would often ask my teachers about the books they liked, read tho books when I had some free time, and offer my thoughts.

Looking back on it now, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give some credit to the dedicated teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
