Over time, it's also likely that other existing or potential clients of your Matterport Tours will ask about ADA compliance.“Under the current law, there is an incentive for plaintiff’s lawyers to file ADA access lawsuits: hotels may be required to pay a disabled person’s attorney fees even if the hotel agrees to correct any problems right away," says FindLaw.Even if you do not have enterprise clients such as a major hotel brand or cruise line brand, this is a "must watch" WGAN-TV Live at 5 show.Here are questions that I anticipate asking Steve:1.

ADA (The Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance means making your service or product accessible to people with disabilities and it was amended to include websites in 2008. Hotels are increasingly aware that non-compliant websites make them potentially liable for lawsuits and fines, and many have implemented standards to comply.Up until now, there was not a streamlined solution to make virtual tours compliant. BCS has created a solution. Introducing an embedded player which not only provides AA compliant virtual tours, but also can be used for older virtual tours you already have in your catalog. Also, as an added bonus your search engine optimization will be amplified.See a list of past and current lawsuits on the ADA website that includes many hotels and resorts.BCS Has an Exclusive Player that Adheres to Accessibility GuidelinesBCS exclusively provides our custom ADA compliant virtual tours that adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning and neurological.BCS offers a solution which directly adheres to the “WCAG 2.0 guidelines 1.2 for time-based media: providing alternatives for time-based media”. This includes “audio and/or video combined with interaction”. The accessible alternative version of our ADA compliant virtual tour contains:✓ Alternative Pre-Recorded Video Guided Virtual Tour✓ Transcript✓ Audio Description (Prerecorded)✓ Live CaptionsAll of the above is delivered in a custom-built embedded player that hosts both media items.

Listen to this dialogue between Ada and Jackie as Jackie helps Ada buy a new phone. See if you can pick out the 4 IELTS vocabulary words as you listen. Dialogue Part 1 Ada: Hi there! I’ve just moved here from the United Kingdom...so obviously my UK phone doesn’t work anymore. I’m looking to get a new SIM card so that I can use my mobile phone here in America...or I might even be open to buying a new device altogether, depending on how much it would cost. Is that something you could help me with? Jackie: Yes, of course! We do offer some plans that are SIM card only, depending on whether the device you’re using is compatible with our company’s SIM cards. Would you prefer a SIM card only plan, or do you think maybe it’s time for a new phone? Ada: Are the SIM card only plans cheaper? Jackie: Well yes. Since you aren’t paying for the price of a brand new mobile phone, the SIM card only plans tend to cost less…though we do have a couple of deals going on right now that would allow you to get a pretty great phone for much cheaper than they would normally cost brand new. Ada: Okay, I’ll think about it. Can you tell me a little about the SIM card only plans that you offer?  Jackie: Sure, but before we get started, why don’t you let me have a look at your phone, and I can tell you if it will be compatible with any of our SIM cards. Unfortunately if it’s not compatible you’ll need to get a new device in order to use our cards. Ada: Yeah, no problem, here’s my phone.   Jackie: …Oh yeah, this mobile is pretty old. Let me just check in back and see if we have any of the older SIM cards left in stock. Ada: Okay, thanks.   Jackie: …I’m sorry. I don’t think we have anything that is compatible with your current phone. On the bright side, maybe it’s time for an upgrade! Would you be interested in seeing some of the newer devices that we have available? Ada: Yeah sure, why not. Jackie: Great, let’s start with this one...So this is the XC-500, and it’s got all your standard smartphone features, plus a high definition screen. And the developers have made some huge innovations with the voice recognition technology – basically you can set it up to respond specifically to your voice. So that’s pretty cool. Ada: Yeah, that’s neat.   Jackie: ...And then this is the Edge 5 Series, which is also a great device. It comes with a stylus and a physical keyboard, if you prefer a more revolutionized Blackberry-style phone. But see here: there’s still a touch screen and all that good stuff. Ada: Oh neat, yeah I never quite got the hang of typing on touch screens, I think my fingers are too big or something. Jackie: Yeah, the touch screens tend to be very sensitive – which obviously is an amazing innovation considering that touch screen technology really only became available in the last ten years...but some people definitely still prefer physical keyboards. Ada: Okay, great. Are there any other phones that you would recommend? Jackie: Is there anything in particular that you’re looking for in a mobile device? Ada: Well if I’m going to be buying a new phone anyways, I would love to get one that has a really good camera – preferably one that can do high definition video. I do a lot of photography and video recordings with my current phone, and I’ve noticed that even though the picture quality is pretty good when there’s enough light, the video always turns out really pixelated and low quality. Do you have any affordable devices that have cameras specifically made for video?  Jackie: Oh, I know just the thing…Okay, so this is the G5-Pro. This phone just came out a few weeks ago, and it’s totally revolutionized the way that we take videos using mobile devices. Basically the main problem facing phone developers has been that there isn’t enough storage space on the devices to store high definition videos. So it’s not even a matter of the quality of the camera lens…there just isn’t enough space on the phone. But with the G5-Pro, they’ve made some major innovations to how we store data. Basically everything is uploaded immediately to the cloud, so space is no longer an issue. Anyways, if you’re looking for a phone with a good video camera, this is the device for you! Ada: Wow, that sounds like just what I’m looking for! Jackie: Amazing. And more good news – this phone falls under a promotion we’re doing right now, so if you sign up for a plan with us that includes this device, we’ll give you fifty percent off for the first six months! Ada: Okay, that sounds really good, I’d definitely be interested in doing that.   Jackie: Do you want me to go over some of the different phone plans with you, and we can figure out which one best suits your needs? Ada: Yeah, absolutely! Midroll Before we find out which phone plan Ada will choose, let’s pause for a word from Magoosh.  Do you want a great IELTS score?

Dialogue Part 2 Jackie: Okay, so we have three different types of mobile phone plans for the G5-Pro. All the plans have slightly different features, but the biggest difference is the amount of data you’ll be getting – and obviously the price of the plan. Do you have an idea of how much data you use in a month? Ada:  Hmm, not really. Even though I have a smart phone, I don’t think I’ve had a phone plan that included data before. I would just connect to the WiFi if I wanted to use any of those features. Jackie: Do you want to stick with a no-data plan? Or would you be interested in trying out a plan with a little bit of data? Ada: I mean…if it’s affordable then it would be great to have a plan with data. Especially for stuff like the GPS. It’s such a hassle to have to look up the maps ahead of time. And I’m sure I’ll be getting lost a lot since I’m new to this area.  Jackie: Yeah, the GPS is a great feature. And being able to look up maps while on the go will really revolutionize the way you get around. Plus, the good news is that the GPS app actually uses relatively little data. So even if you use the GPS on a daily basis, you probably wouldn’t need a plan with more than one gigabyte of data a month. Ada: [laughs] Yeah, I have no idea how much a gigabyte is. Jackie: Don’t worry, most people don’t. So one gigabyte of data would allow you to send or receive about 1,000 emails or browse the Internet for about 20 hours every month. Ada: Wow, that’s a lot! Jackie: Yes, and that’s actually the smallest amount of data on a monthly plan that we offer – besides no data of course. Ada: What’s your plan with the most data? Jackie: Our plan with the most data offers 16 gigabytes worth of data. So that’s 320 hours of Internet browsing a month. It’s actually an amazing deal, because it only costs $10 more than our next largest data plan, which is only 4 gigabytes a month.  Ada: How can people even use 16 gigabytes in a month…that’s like…what, ten hours a day? No one could possibly be on their phone that much. Jackie: Well it’s actually easier than you think. Say, for example, you are downloading files, or streaming video…those kinds of activities require a lot more data than just scrolling through Facebook. But you’re right, 16 gigabytes is a lot of data. What we’ve found is that most people who go for this plan actually are using their phones as mobile hotspots for their computers and other devices. Ada: What does that mean? Jackie: Well, a mobile hotspot is basically a secure WiFi network. But instead of the WiFi coming from a box that’s installed in your house and connected to cables in the ground, the WiFi is coming directly from your phone, using your data plan. Ada: Wow, so you’re saying that I could connect my computer to the Internet through my phone anywhere that I had phone service? Jackie: That’s right! Mobile hotspot technology has totally innovated how we connect to the Internet, especially for people who work on their computers. Whereas before now you would have to go to a library or coffee shop to work, with this data plan you can access the Internet from almost anywhere you want! Ada: Okay, that actually sounds really amazing. How much does that plan cost per month? Jackie: It’s $50 per month, but with our promotion it would only cost you $25 a month for the first six months. Ada: Wow, that’s such a good deal! Sign me up!   So how did you do? Did you hear and understand all of the vocabulary words?

Celiac disease is grossly underdiagnosed in the United States in large part because the medical community is operating on outdated information about the condition. And despite the recommendations of the National Institute of Health back in 2004, we have yet to implement a mass screening for celiac disease, and health care providers remain alarmingly uninformed. The Gluten Free RN is taking steps to remedy the situation by sharing the basics for medical professionals. Today she covers the WHO’s definition of celiac disease, how our understanding of the condition has change over time, and some common misconceptions about celiac disease. She also explains the top symptoms, recommended testing for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and the neurological nature of the disorder. Listen in to learn what health care providers need to know about this undiagnosed epidemic, the complex web of health issues that may result from undiagnosed celiac disease, and why it is important to have a high index of suspicion and include celiac testing on every differential diagnosis. Help your patients go gluten-free and collect something other than autoimmune disorders!  What’s Discussed:  The standard of care in the US Providers should have diagnosed at least 1% of patients with celiac disease Undiagnosed for 70 years, must overcome to prevent further pain and suffering The goals of Nadine’s consulting business Works with facilities to protect celiac patients Ensure compliance with ADA How the media portrays the gluten-free lifestyle Dissuades people from adopting diet (program sponsors influence messaging) Negative headlines How our understanding of celiac disease has changed over time The recommendations of the 2004 NIH consensus meeting regarding celiac disease Mass screening (meets WHO criteria) Education for health care providers The World Health Organization criteria for mass screening Early clinical detection essential Condition is common Screening tests highly sensitive and specific Effective treatment available Untreated condition leads to complications The autoimmune disorders associated with undiagnosed celiac disease MS Type 1 diabetes Lupus Rheumatoid arthritis Sjögren’s Vitiligo The WHO definition of celiac disease Characterized by hypersensitivity to gluten Prevalence currently estimated at 1:1,000 worldwide Screening trials suggest prevalence of 1:100 Results in weight loss, diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies Caused by villous atrophy May present as extraintestinal manifestations or remain clinically silent Why celiac disease can’t be ruled out with a single test Can be triggered at any point HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes indicate genetic predisposition Misconceptions about celiac disease in the US medical community Thought to be digestive disorder, but really neurological Can present with seizures, numbness, constipation, balance issues, celiac cerebellar ataxia How skin issues are a reflection of what is going on internally Epithelial skin is same tissue as inside How damage to the small intestine leads to multiple health issues Increased permeability of intestinal wall Leaky blood brain barrier Leaky blood vessels Leaky lungs and skin The classic symptoms of celiac disease Chronic diarrhea Malabsorption Extreme weight loss Malnutrition What celiac disease looks like in children Diarrhea, constipation General abdominal pain Failure to thrive Falling off growth chart Short stature Learning disabilities ADD, ADHD, ODD Autism Skin issues (eczema, cirrhosis, acne) Delayed puberty Dental problems Anorexia, obesity Bed wetting The prevalence of celiac disease in older adults 30% of people diagnosed with celiac disease are over 60 Potential signs of celiac disease in the aging population Dementia Alzheimer’s Vision, hearing loss Urinary problems Cancer diagnosis (especially bowel cancer) Ataxia Arthritis Hair loss Fatigue Osteoporosis Anemia The elements that get into your blood stream as a result of villous atrophy Toxins Heavy metals Undigested food particles Yeast, fungus Parasites, other harmful bacteria Top symptoms of celiac disease Chronic anemia Fatigue Muscle, joint pain Depression, irritability Thyroid disorders Infertility issues GI problems (from mouth to rectum) Migraine headaches Psychiatric disorders Seizures Dermatitis herpetiformis Down, Turner or Williams syndrome Cardiomyopathy The effects of gluten on the brain Anger Depression, anxiety Learning disabilities Lethargy Insomnia Brain fog Schizophrenia Dyslexia Populations affected by celiac disease Any age, race, gender 3 million people all over the world Study of healthy blood donors in Mexico found unexpectedly high prevalence of tTGA positivity Now recognized as common disease among Middle Eastern and North African populations 1:7 Americans suffer from non-celiac gluten sensitivity (43 million people) The findings of an economic study by Columbia University Non-diarrheal presentations now most frequent Celiac disease grossly underdiagnosed in US Average delay in diagnosis is 4-11 years for adults in North America Significant improvement in quality of life when patients diagnosed and treated appropriately The importance of ensuring that medications are gluten-free Nadine’s recommendations around nutrition for celiac patients Gluten- and dairy-free Ideally Paleo Super-good high fat Things to consider re: the results of a celiac panel A positive test guarantees intestinal damage Include total IgA and IgG 70% produce a false negative Additional tests that offer valuable information Fecal fat score (ask for #, over 300 indicates malabsorption) Complete blood count Comprehensive metabolic panel Vitamin D3 level (below 40 ng/ml is critically low) Vitamins A, E & K levels Vitamin B6 & B12 levels MTHFR gene test Magnesium RBC test Zinc level Iodine level B9/Folate level Ferritin level Iron level Thyroid panel Bone density test Lipid panel ANA test (autoimmune issues) ESR test CRP test Surprising facts around celiac disease contrary to conventional wisdom Only 15% of celiac patients have chronic diarrhea 39% of celiac patients are overweight Shampoos, cosmetics and airborne gluten affect patients with gluten intolerance and celiac disease Super-good high fat diet is essential for celiac patients   Resources: NIH Consensus Statement “Where Have All the American Celiacs Gone?” in Acta Pediatrica Montana Gluten Free “Economic
