CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION The diagnosis process of a hearing loss often begins with the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS). Hearing loss is considered one of the most common disabilities in the United States (Jackson‚ Traub‚ & Turnbull‚ 2008).

But some years ago‚ this universal truth was no longer true. With advanced technology‚ astrologers found out that Pluto (the ninth planet) should no longer be considered

Youth‚ rebellion‚ recklessness – three words that describe the teenage years of an angst-ridden American-Born-Chinese. Growing up‚ I had some sense of what was supposed to be important in life: politics‚ news‚ history‚ religion‚ family‚ math… it all sounded good—kind of like how communism sounded good—and that was exactly how I treated those subjects‚ with the utmost disobedience.

An Amsler universal testing machine with a loading capacity of 300kN was used to load specimens in compression. The test set-up is shown in Fig. 2. Pin ended support conditions using ball bearing supports were used for all the specimens as described by Liu and Hui [7]. Each support consisted of two 10mm parallel plates with 30mm diameter stainless steel ball seated between them on sockets suitably milled into the plates as shown in Fig. 3.

Canada’s health care system is primarily funded by the taxpayer’s dollar through the universal health care sector. On the other hand‚ the United State’s health care is typically funded by private insurance‚ either through their employer or their insurance companies.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the first global human rights treaty that was formulated. The main driving force behind the formation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was the Second World War‚ which in it course saw some of the worst human atrocities being committed on a global scale.
