Thank you, Adam, for teaching the symbols using ASL and some Libras - I feel fortunate to have been able to provide my new Zoom account.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">I am also happy to use other software too, for small meetings with SignWriting and DanceWriting users around the world. I have tried Google Meet, Zoom and the newly-enhanced Skype, and they all provide the possibility of automated spoken language captions on the screen, which helps with international meetings. Someday we will hopefully have captions for sign language too - I know that is coming ;-)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Other work this week: I am in the process of cleaning up my old web sites.

Every year I added more web pages. Well … now we have thousands of out-of-date pages that need to be either taken down or cleaned to become relevant for today. I enjoy web design, although I never had training for it. I use Adobe DreamWeaver software, which helps me a lot.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">There are new developments around the world, in both SignWriting and DanceWriting this past week.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">A new development in Brazil is coming next message.
