		<description><![CDATA[There are benefits in saying THANK YOU....]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was on a visit to Nigerian Agip Oil Company at Rumeme Port Harcourt  Nigeria in 2006. Beside the entrance of this great firm was a blind man  that was being led by a little child. The blind man was singing and  begging for alms from people as they walked down the street. I have  always seen blind people singing and begging but this day I saw what I  had always heard from comedians. The song this blind man was singing  was:</p>
<p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><strong> &#8220;Anya m abuo ahuwo ebube gi Chineke, </strong></i><br /> <i><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I mewo, I mewo</strong></i><br /> <i><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anya m abuo ahuwo ebube gi Chineke,</strong></i><br /> <i><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Olu aka gi di mma.&#8221;</strong></i></p>
<p> The song is translated:<strong> God, my two eyes had seen your glory/wonders,  thank you because your handiwork is good</strong>. Friends, I was challenged  because at that time even now, I have not thanked this God enough. If a  blind man could see God&#8217;s wonders, how about you that have your eyes  complete? How about you that He clothes and feeds? How about you that He  protects from the harm of the enemies? When I considered my rate of  indebtedness, I put my thanksgiving in writing so that the whole world  will know how much this God should be appreciated. Have a view of this  to learn how to show appreciation to this great God: <a href="http://authspot.com/poetry/showing-appreciation/" target="_blank">http://authspot.com/poetry/showing-appreciation/</a> Probably you might think it is a waste of time saying thank you to this  God. There are benefits loaded just for saying THANK YOU LORD. Have a  view of seven (7) of these benefits here: <a href="http://relijournal.com/christianity/seven-benefits-of-thanksgiving/" target="_blank">http://relijournal.com/christianity/seven-benefits-of-thanksgiving/</a> For this reason, open your mouth now and say thank you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever been in like, you could have encountered what actually seems like to generally be blinded because of it. People like had a desire so that you can create the item. Shakespeare in addition talked about in several with her works of which Enjoy is actually sightless, as well as Addicts can not see. Can blinded love produce unlimited mistakes along with regrets?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Pragmatically  communicating, Adore can pick to be impaired, although devotees shouldn&#8217;t be. In  their strict impression, your philosophy that will appreciate is sightless will  not and also whether it does, must not occur however the selling point of  everybody who will be trying to find love.</p>
<p>This emotional errors spur from your cardiovascular system plus almost all of  you experienced the idea available as one technique an additional. However the  problem remains. We all believe of which love will be presenting, however will  it be blinding in addition? Or in other words, the techniques inside thought i  would close their particular view against the world. Without&nbsp;<a href="http://buzzmax.ca/" target="_blank">Long distance calling plans</a>&nbsp;doubt, devotees  choose to get blinded. For the basic belief that all kinds of really like,  Agape, Philia, Eros in addition to Storge are usually because, probably the most  pure emotional impulse of Man. When appreciate can go beyond in the evening  border of standard pressure, people the idea just about impossible to go out of,  and so the risk of detrimental human relationships boosts.</p>
<p>Now think this through, if perhaps appreciate is impaired from the 1st area  we will not waste material a great deal time and energy developing a beneficial  feeling. Disgusting routines will be &#8216;camouflaged&#8217;. We can&#8217;t enable these  displayed till after from the romance. This is when really like seriously gets  to be sightless. Most likely simply mom&#8217;s fascination with the youngster is &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://buzzmax.us/" target="_blank">Long distance calling plans</a>&nbsp;actually blind. After all, nobody else other than our women will love us for  your bothersome properties and practices straight from birth? Indeed it will be  on the list of roughest checks actually to your close ones to talk to your  legitimate do-it-yourself surface area. Although suppose these people accept  everything about yourself? The correct answer is good. Appreciate turns impaired  with this juncture.</p>
<p>Factually, people in really like aren&#8217;t blind all the time. These people  reply to very difficult facts, adverse impact and in many cases symptoms of  marriage breakdown for instance disloyality plus betrayal. Probably this is the  little bit of relaxing information for the people aiming along with searching  for an idea of love. This is when your mind finally makes a decision in order to  engulf the emotions on the cardiovascular along with sharing with that to halt.  I actually consider it any &#8216;wake-up phone &#8216;for your love-hopeful area.</p>
<p>So simply what does it tells you? Individuals will find chasteness of  affection and issue imperfection? Enjoy is usually a figurative make a  difference individuals your life of sophistication or perhaps certain features  the first is purchasing for. Husband and wife obtain fascinated by actual  characteristics and wonder previous to advancing to another achievable stage.  Computer system courses the main reason contemporary romantic relationships have  reached instances too sensitive to maintain. Love of his life, without a doubt,  is difficult to come by. A person who seems to be great to you today&nbsp;<a href="http://buzzmax.ca/Call-Pakistan.aspx/" target="_blank">Pakistan</a>&nbsp;may be  unfinished years around the marriage. However seriously isn&#8217;t appreciate  supposed to be impaired? Unsurprisingly the effect with &#8216;blindness&#8217; demonstrated  improved with the growing old of your energy. We can&#8217;t direct or receive love;  truly moves by natural means if it should. Bare in mind ahead of adore window  blinds you actually, it&#8217;s going to take 2 halves to form a single overall.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blindness</p>
<p>I saw it coming, destroying everything on the way, it was big and anonymous, it didn&rsquo;t have a defined shape or conscious, it just existed and was everywhere. I could not breath, I was so scared I could not move or react, my voice was shaky and I could not defend myself. Slowly I started to get blinded, a dark cloud appeared in front of my nose, I could not see clearly the objects in my surroundings and the cloud went far beyond my eyes and covered my conscious. How could I see it in first place? Where did it come from? Why everyone here had it?</p>
<p>I suddenly wake up and turn to see what time it was in my clock when suddenly I lost part of my vision since the green light of the alarm shook me. The image of that amorphous object was still in my mind and it burn even stronger in that moment where the green light shocked me. My eyes got better after a while and I could see the time, 2:00 AM. I was still scared about all what happened in my dream and could not concentrate enough to fall asleep again. I have had this dream since I have memory and it always scares me to the point I only sleep a few hours a day, I decided to sit in my bed and every night and write details that may explain what this dreams are. I started to write when suddenly I remembered when I was small, I used to go and talk with the girl next door. I remembered that situation since she had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen and the blindness in my dreams remembered me about those eyes. Her eyes where blue and the color was so intense that one could not look her directly at her eyes for a long period of time without blinking. We used to play in the sand box at the park near our houses and we used to be friends. Her name&hellip; it&rsquo;s not important, I just remember those eyes and that when we grew up she started to lost the color in her eyes. What seem estrange was the fact that I was the only one that believed that her eyes where losing their color, the other guys didn&rsquo;t notice it. Slowly, she started to get away from our friendship to the point I cannot recognize her any more.</p>
<p>The words matched with the paper of my diary where I have had write those details of my dream. It&rsquo;s still uncertain why I have this dreams, a details that seem important about my dreams is that apparently everyone start without any sight and I start to get blinded by that darkness. I decided to start scanning my room for details as if my problems where somewhere hiding inside those four walls. I saw my television, it have made me so happy for so long but as it make me happy it makes me blinder, every single piece of light that passes through my eyes is nothing against what I actually see. I remembered that one commercial I saw few years ago where they displayed an abstract painting with apparently no sense at all. The only thing I remember is that during that year I went every two days to Burger King even though I didn&rsquo;t liked the burgers they made. Two years later I studied more carefully the commercial I constantly saw in television and suddenly in the background I saw some shades in the orange sky, it was not easy to see since the colors of the background and of the shade where pretty similar, but there it was, the phrase that made me eat garbage for so long, it said &ldquo;I LOVE BURGER KING&rdquo;. I could not believe all that time I lived in a shadow, all the things that could have been better than those burgers but then, suddenly the image of those eyes came to my mind. The relation was clear as water, those eyes should have been a shadow, I couldn&rsquo;t recognize easily but that was there, but a shadow of what?</p>
<p>I turned off the light and the shadow of my hand in the paper disappeared. Then, for having a shadow, there must be an object that creates it or something else that can make it. I turned the light again and remember that her character changed too, then, the shadow in her eyes was caused by her character? Or maybe the intensity of the color was caused by her character? A dualistic idea, it was the light in her eyes or the lack of light that was caused by her character?</p>
<p>I took a book that I had in a table next to my bed and went searching for an answer. I found something that could help, it was the ideal of dualism stated by Parmenides of Elea that didn&rsquo;t just accept the idea of two opposites but also the idea that those opposites where divided into one positive and one negative term. He stated that things like the light, the idea of what is hot and the being where positive while the darkness, the idea of what is cold and not being where negatives. Then I realize that since her character changed, the positive component of her character that was when she was young was the one that gave the color to her eyes while the character she developed was the negative that made her eyes turn lighter and lighter.</p>
<p>I felt glorious since I just solved that issue my mind gave me but still I didn&rsquo;t know what my dreams where like they were. I turned and took a look at my clock, 2:00 AM. The light didn&rsquo;t shock me this time, but then the answer came to me as the other issues where solved. The blindness was caused by the negative change that took my friend into a stranger, that same anonymous mass that is everywhere is the one that attacked my friend and now I could see more than before, that same thing that she lost and that apparently I could recognize more than she could.</p>
<p>She lost something of extreme importance, something that made the human something different from the rest of the animals, something special and unique. That something was herself. The feeling of that cloud entering to me came again, when it came, it didn&rsquo;t make the person completely blind since in the dreams I couldn&rsquo;t see clearly the objects but that was just an effect of something much worst, the lost of the self, that was caused by the same shadow, by the same immutable cloud, the same in all directions and that didn&rsquo;t just make you go and eat burgers but also make you lost the power of the self, the power of taking your own decisions, the power of believing in what you want, the power of creating was lost, it was replaced with a treaty, accepted by everyone like in a contract where one didn&rsquo;t read the small letters, like when you don&rsquo;t know something but you still need to make a decision on what you want. That treaty is the easy path to having a life, a path full of laziness in where one just accept what the amorphous cloud wants one to do, a path in where one accept all the terms that society gives, been global.</p>
<p>Now I could understand why I could see it and the reason was not complicated, I could see it because the clouds didn&rsquo;t went beyond my eyes, I had still the power of the self and could understand everything now, everyone had it because they accept the treaty while they grow up and just decide to don&rsquo;t care about what can they be, they are just anonymous as the cloud, and that cloud was not created, it existed from the moment society developed, it was the image of the weakness of humanity to develop as a social network of individuals, it&rsquo;s the invention of a easier and accepted treaty where everyone just followed the same basic principles and where everyone could live in harmony. But then it flashed again in front of my eyes. I saw it coming, destroying everything on the way, it was big and anonymous, it didn&rsquo;t have a defined shape or conscious, it just existed and was everywhere. I could not breath, I was so scared I could not move or react, my voice was shaky and I could not defend myself. I turned and saw the clock, 2:01 AM. Slowly I started to get blinded, a dark cloud appeared in front of my nose, I could not see clearly the objects in my surroundings and the cloud went far beyond my eyes and covered my conscious. And that was the last time I had that dream, but it was the beginning of the reality of that dream.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Discusses how the blind dream.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank"></a>For most people, dreaming is an intensely visual experience. Visual imagery is nearly always present in the dreams of sighted people, and their dreams are usually in color. Auditory sensations occur in more than half of their dreams, but only a small percentage involve taste, smell, and touch.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"></a>Blind people who lost their vision after about age 5 continue to have visual imagery in their dreams. They see new friends, places, and things in their dreams, not simply memories they&rsquo;ve retained since before they lost their sight. The fact that dreams do not reflect people&rsquo;s current visual impairment reveals that the dreaming brain does not simply reproduce perceptions (albeit in a new narrative), but actually constructs things that have never been experienced while awake.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"></a>In contrast to people who lost their sight later in life, people completely blind since birth (congenitally blind) or shortly thereafter lack the rapid eye movements usually associated with dreaming. However, they do dream, and they tend to describe their dreams in the same visual language as a sighted person. When asked to elaborate, it becomes clear that the &ldquo;pictures&rdquo; in their heads have been created through prior experience with other senses. In dream reports made by congenitally blind people, more than half of the sensory references are to touch, smell, and taste. The rest of the sensory references are auditory.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"></a>In one study, a congenitally blind woman described a dream about sitting at a table in a nice restaurant. She knew she was at a table through kinesthetic sense&mdash;the sense mediated by feedback from organs in the muscles and tendons. She knew it was a nice restaurant because she felt the thick carpet and heard the quiet atmosphere. She had an image of the table because she had previously felt tables. Similarly, a congenitally blind woman in another study described being in a room with a device that looked like an ATM. She said she knew what it looked like from prior experience touching the buttons on an ATM.</p>
<p><a target="_blank"></a>Studies that have compared the composition, organization, and themes of the dreams of blind people and sighted people have found few differences. Blind people reported more dreams in which they had a misfortune occur during locomotion or transportation, and dreams about their guide dogs, consistent with the notion that there is continuity between dream content and waking experiences.</p>

range of laser.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>have heard or seen, even blind people with disabilities are able to drive<br />the road? Yes, it seems that it will soon become a reality, that is shown.</p>
<p>Imagine the recent efforts to create and valuable time for the students of Virginia Tech,<br />who designed a vehicle can be driven by a blind person with a disability.</p>
<p>Vehicles short, soil type with errors that are equipped with a detector<br />range of laser, an interface to voice commands, and other systems that meet the <br />driver that is visible next to them.</p>
<p>To ensure this project is the best project, not just a record of the design alone. Because ultimately,<br />is constant and is proving to be a pilot with disabilities who are blind, but it is an <br />unfortunate no knowledge of what you are going and later, the car of the home team. And, of course, I hope that this noble project continues work later in the production of vehicles that are appropriate and useful to everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When helping others, be sensitive to and respectful of the other person&#8217;s feelings. If you were in need of assistance, you&#8217;d want others to remember that you&#8217;re still a competent person &#8211; you just need a helping hand. Remember this next time you see someone who looks like she might need help crossing the street, whether she&#8217;s elderly, blind, or disabled. Ask yourself: Does this person need my help? Does this person want my help? Try following these simple steps for guidance.</p>
<p><strong>1.Stand a few feet away from the person you think needs help. </strong>Everyone wants her personal space respected. Even if she can&#8217;t see you, she can smell you, hear you, or sense that you are there. If the person is blind and using a guide dog, be sure not to pet the dog. You may be aching to nuzzle its neck, but this dog is working and should not be distracted.</p>
<p><strong>2.Offer your assistance.</strong> Be straightforward. Say, &#8220;Would you like some help crossing the street?&#8221; If she says no, that is her prerogative. Be polite.</p>
<p><strong>3.If the person would like help, ask her how you can best assist. </strong>Don&#8217;t make any assumptions about what would be useful. Never grab the person&#8217;s arm. She might just want you to walk beside her or carry her bag.</p>
<p><strong>4.When you are safely to the other side of the street, ask if she needs any further assistance. </strong>You may ask, &#8220;Are you all set?&#8221; The person may appreciate assistance carrying heavy bags to her home. If the person is blind, she may want you to describe potential hazards in the vicinity or provide additional support.</p>
<p>As additional information, only individuals who are blind may carry white canes. In most countries, the law requires drivers to yield the right of way when they see a blind person&#8217;s extended white cane.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The story of Helen Keller is about the indomitable human spirit that says, &#34;You can!&#34;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helen Keller was born in 1880 as a normal healthy child, but contracting scarlet fever left her to be blind and deaf at 19 months. She became a difficult child, yelling and throwing tantrums. When she was five, her mother engaged Anne Sullivan to coach Helen.</p>

<p>Miss Sullivan herself had been blind, but had regained her sight through surgery. She finger-spelled the names of familiar objects into her student&rsquo;s hand. Helen  enjoyed this &ldquo;finger play,&rdquo; but she didn&rsquo;t understand until the famous  moment when Sullivan spelled &ldquo;w-a-t-e-r&rdquo; while pumping water over her  hand.</p>
<p>One day Anne led Helen to the water pump and pumped water on her hand. She spelled the letters W-A-T-E-R as the water ran over Helen&#8217;s hand. She did this over and over again. At last it dawned on Helen that the word &#8220;water&#8221; meant the water which she felt pouring over her hand. This opened up a whole new world for her. She ran everywhere asking Anne the name of different things and Anne would spell the words in her hand. This was the key which unlocked the world for her.</p>
<p>The following video has a rare footage of Sullivan and Keller. In this footage Sullivan shows the way how Helen Keller learned to talk.  The final line of this footage, &#8220;I am not DUMB now!&#8221; is very  touching.</p>

<h4>Helen&#8217;s College Education</h4>
<p>By 1890, Keller was living at Perkins Institute along with her tutor Sullivan. She had already mastered Braille and learned how to use a typewriter. At Perkins, she learnt Greek, French and Latin.</p>
<p>She did very well in the next year&rsquo;s entrance exams and was finally  admitted to the class of 1900. During her years in college, she wrote  her memoir, &ldquo;The Story of My Life&rdquo;.</p>

<p>In 1904, she graduated from Radcliffe College with a honours Bachelor of Arts degree, helped by Anne Sullivan who was always by her side, interpreting lectures and class discussion to her.</p>
<h4>Helen Keller&#8217;s Campaigns</h4>
<p>Helen then dedicated her life to public service. She started on her extensive fund raising campaigns for the American Foundation for the Blind using her new home as a base.&nbsp;</p>
<p>She traveled around the world, visiting many famous personalities such as the Emperor of Japan, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill etc, effectively helping to raise public awareness on the issues faced by the disabled. She delivered many  lectures to improve the conditions for the blind and  deaf-blind. She  spoke out for women&#8217;s rights and pacifism.</p>
<p>Anne died in 1936. To commemorate the death of her friend, Helen started to work on Anne&rsquo;s biography, only to lose it to a fire in 1946 when it was almost completed. She rewrote it again and in 1955, published &ldquo;Teacher : Anne Sullivan Macy&rdquo;.</p>
<p>On June 1, 1968, after Helen died peacefully in her sleep, she was buried next to Anne at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.</p>

<h4>Keller&#8217;s Famous Quotations</h4>
<p>Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.</p>
<p>Security is mostly a  superstition. It does not exist in nature. Avoiding danger is no safer  in the long run than outright exposure.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a terrible thing to see, and have no vision!</p>
<p>We can do anything we want to do, if we stick to it long enough.</p>
<p>While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.</p>
<p>What I am looking for is not &#8220;out there,&#8221; it is in me.</p>
<p>Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.</p>
<p>Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.</p>
<p>Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A  laser hand held device, like the movie Star Wars light swords so powerful  and can blind or burn the skin of a person suddenly is for sale on the  Internet.</p>
<p>The  device, with a radius of 1,000 times more powerful than the solar  radiation at ground level, marked by the manufacturer as &#8220;the most  dangerous laser ever created.&#8221; For  this reason, consumer protection authorities are worried about the  marketing model III Spyder Pro Arctic issued warnings against its use.</p>
<p>Along  with the possibility that the blind, to burn a person and cause cancer,  the creator of the product in Hong Kong, Wicked Lasers, admits a moment  of penetration of such a laser beam into the cockpit of a plane can  spark a disaster. In addition, any device is not particularly cost prohibitive, it can be purchased abroad, for an amount less than 200 euros. Even the manufacturer&#8217;s website stated: &#8220;The phrase&#8221; extremely dangerous &#8220;is an understatement of a watt of power of this ray.<br /><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/09/27/lasere_1.jpg" alt="" /><br />Because  lasers are manufactured in Asia, and where laws do not prohibit their  sale to the general public, institutions regulating the commercial  standards of other countries that do not have to stop selling them via  the Internet.</p>
