A telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) is a device for text communications via telephone lines. It is used by people who cannot use a regular telephone due to a hearing or speech disability. A TDD is usually the size of a small laptop computer that includes a keyboard and small screen. By typing the message, a TDD user is able to send a message to another TDD device. 1, record 1, English, - telecommunications%20device%20for%20the%20deaf

The Antarctic Treaty System is the whole complex of arrangements made for the purpose of regulating relations among states in the Antarctic. At its heart is the Antarctic Treaty itself. The original Parties to the Treaty were the 12 nations active in the Antarctic during the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58. The Treaty was signed in Washington on 1 December 1959 and entered into force on 23 June 1961. The Consultative Parties comprise the original Parties and a further fourteen States that have become Consultative Parties by acceding to the Treaty and demonstrating their interest in Antarctica by carrying out substantial scientific activity there. 2, record 9, English, - Antarctic%20Treaty%20System
