“She is my driving force,” was the phrase with which Sebastián Inalaf referred to his nine-year-old daughter Milagros, who was born without legs or arms.; However, his disability was never an impediment to fulfilling his dreams. Her father, 33, has been canoeing since he was 12, but on one of his trips home, to San Antonio Oeste, city of Río Negro, and with a medal in hand, she made a comment that would mark the beginning of something. unexpected: “Dad, I want to win medals too”. From that day on, he became her legs and she became her driving force and without realizing it, today they are an example of improvement. In dialogue with THE NATIONtold their moving story.

At Mili’s request, Sebastián evaluated how he could make his little girl’s dream come true.. “We were looking for a way back and just training for an international regatta in Río Negro, I signed up for a marathon to push myself more. I remember that in that race there was a man who ran in a wheelchair and there I said ‘this is the way, I came right here to be able to do it and fulfill his dream,’” he began.
One Fifth Of Requests For Free Flemish Sign…

One fifth of the requests for a free Flemish sign language interpreter remained unanswered in 2023. That’s what De Zondag writes. The shortage of Flemish sign language interpreters continues to increase year after year.
Deaf and hearing-impaired people are annually entitled to a number of L-hours (living situation), O-hours (education) and A-hours (labor), during which they can use a sign language interpreter free of charge. The Flemish government has set aside a budget for this.
However, supply cannot keep up with demand. Last year, the Flemish Communication Assistance Bureau for the Deaf (CAB) received requests for approximately 130,000 interpreting hours. Of these, only 104,283 hours were completed, which means that an interpreter could not be provided in a fifth of the cases.
There are several reasons for this uneven growth. For example, there has been a shortage of interpreters for years, while the demand is increasing year after year. In addition, the government only works with people who have completed a master’s degree, a course that is far from popular. Furthermore, the compensation is also too low and there is competition with better paying bodies, such as the VRT and the federal government.

A political party’s plans and ideology matter to the people. He also pointed out that its symbol will only be useful for a short period of time.
“I firmly believe that the people will not accept the decision of the Election Commission. We have approached the Supreme Court against this decision. The Election Commission has not only tampered with our symbol but has also handed over the party to others. This party has been cheated from its founders and nurturers and given to someone else. This has never happened before in this country. Sharad Pawar said.
NCP was formed by Sharad Pawar in 1999 after breaking away from Congress. Last week, the Election Commission recognized the NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar as the official faction in Maharashtra. The commission informed that they can use the party’s name and ‘clock’ symbol. The decision of the commission came after 6 months of hearing.
Out of the total 87 representatives of the party,
Self-Driving Car Set On Fire In San Francisco
Videos posted online showed several people initially breaking the windows of the driverless robotaxis. They then set it on fire using a firecracker. This tweet is disabled
The Waymo robotaxi stalled on a street blocked by a crowd during Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown on Saturday evening. The car was traveling without passengers.
San Francisco became a unique test case for self-driving taxis last year. Waymo and General Motors subsidiary Cruise received permission from a California regulator this summer to offer their driverless transportation services throughout the city. The city administration and numerous residents were against it.
- Robotaxis in San Francisco:
Cruise’s cars have been idle since an accident in October. At that time, a pedestrian was hit by a conventional car with a human behind the wheel and thrown in front of a Cruise robotaxi. The driverless car braked, but the woman got stuck underneath it. The cruise car then attempted to automatically pull over to the side of the road. The woman was dragged several meters. Critics saw their assessment confirmed that the technology was not safe enough. General Motors changed management of Cruise after the accident and only wants to gradually bring the vehicles back on the road.
Cuba Sharply To STAN: Minister For The EU…
#Cuba #sharply #STAN #Minister #abolished
The government is halfway through its rule. At the end of last year, you blamed her for not being able to communicate. Do you think it has improved yet?
Unfortunately, just today I saw a new poll and the government is still only trusted by 17 percent of people. This is not enough and shows that the five-coalition government still fails to convince the electorate of its actions, even though they may often be good and necessary.
The coalition has completed its first conciliation procedure, in which the parties have defined their space after STAN appointed the minister’s representative for the euro…
It is not good when the government acts in a disjointed manner. People want her to have a leader who communicates clearly for her. Government coalitions generally have a problem with unity, and this coalition of five was brought together more by the fight against Andrej Babiš than by programmatic agreement. That makes it all the more complicated, and the problem will get worse as the elections approach.
Now the Mayors movement got the idea to make a campaign by talking about the bad communication of the government.
Nikki Haley Defended By President Biden As Trump…
President Joe Biden recently came to the defense of Nikki Haley’s husband, Maj. Michael Haley, after former President Donald Trump made personal attacks against him over the weekend. During a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump questioned the whereabouts of Maj. Haley, who is currently serving an active duty deployment in the Horn of Africa for the South Carolina Army National Guard.
Trump’s remarks seemed to imply that Haley’s absence could be attributed to marital challenges or difficulties. However, it is crucial to approach this situation with sensitivity and refrain from making assumptions about someone’s personal life based on their spouse’s absence.
The Importance of Supporting Service Members
In moments like these, it is essential to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices military families make as they serve our country. Deployments can be emotionally challenging for both service members and their loved ones left behind.
A Balanced Perspective
In today’s polarized political landscape, where personal attacks are often used as ammunition against opponents, let us take a step back and reflect on how we discuss individuals’ personal lives in public forums. It is vital that we maintain a respectful tone when engaging in political debates or discussing public figures.
