Meet Achilles, the Deaf Russian cat predicting this year's soccer World Cup results.
SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia -- As football fans rush to calculate the winning probability for each team in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Achilles the 'psychic' cat will be using his cat sense to predict the results.
Achilles, a resident of the Hermitage museum in Saint Petersburg, is currently in full training mode, studying the teams heading to Russia to compete in the world's biggest football championship.
According to his veterinarian Anna Kondratyeva, Achille's deafmess makes him a better prognosticator than other cats because "he's absolutely unbiased, he's Deaf to any comments from the fans so he probably feels with his heart and a special cat sense."
Achilles will only be predicting the games played in Saint Petersburg.
"He will make his predictions the morning of the game. For breakfast, we’ll put two identical bowls in front of him with cat food and a little flag of the countries playing."
So whichever bowl Achilles eats from -- that's the country that will win.
The white cat with blue eyes wasn't chosen at random, he has a history predicting football games.
Last year, he determined the results of the confederation cup matches played in his hometown. He guessed without a single error the winner for each game, including one that ended in a draw said Kondratyeva.
When Achilles isn't training he enjoys kicking balls in the long corridors of the Hermitage museum and posing for pictures outside in the gardens.
The organizers of DGM control protest applied for a permit to marching from Gallaudet University to the U.S. Capitol, the live-stream footage event is being filmed and led by the DGM staff, Suzy Wallace in Washington, D.C.
The DGM is an organization that pushes for Deaf rights, such as an end to discrimination in jobs and education and to provide equal access as facilitate an historical nationwide civil rights event to bring awareness to the Deaf community and to issues with access to communication, educational barriers and employment for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing in the United States.
Achilles, meanwhile, purr-fectly predicted Germany’s win over Chile in last year’s Confederations Cup final, by choosing to rest in the little cat house marked with a German flag.
The Hermitage cats’ press secretary says Achilles, who was born Deaf, can foretell anything.
But can he paw-sibly fare better than Paul the octopus, who correctly wrapped his tentacles around seven German victories and Spain’s championship at the 2010 World Cup?
Deaf signing choir leaves judges speechless on Ireland's Got Talent.
DUBIN, Ireland -- A choir with seven Deaf members and two Hearing singers are set to wow the audience and judges on Ireland's Got Talent this weekend.
The Deaftones are a choir from Holy Family School of the Deaf in Dublin and among the members are three sisters, two of whom are Deaf and one who is the only hearing member of her family.
They tackle Ed Sheeran's Photograph on the show with the two hearing girls singing and the eleven Deaf members signing.
The group range in age from 13-39 years old and they experience music in a variety of different ways, including sensing sound through vibrations and lip reading.
"They all hear music in different ways," explains their teacher Shirley Higgins. "Some of them hear the music and the words, some of them hear just the music, and some of them hear nothing at all."
Deaf Choir Deaftones performs John Lennon´s "Imagine" - Semi-Final 2.
The choir began seven years ago and recently brought the two hearing members on board, because "we wanted to show how hearing and Deaf communities can mix, how they live in two worlds and how they can be the same as anyone else."
Five sports are featured at the event, including basketball, bowling, curling, ice hockey, and volleyball.
Action began Wednesday morning and goes until Saturday and features around 175 athletes.
No Closed Captioning Provided.
“We want people to know that Deaf people can definitely be involved in high-level sports competition,” Ross Lavallee, a member of one of two Manitoba Deaf curling teams at the event, said.
The winning men’s and women’s curling teams will represent Canada at the 2019 Deaflympics, while the hockey competition will be used to scout players for Team Canada at the Deaflympics.
Former Winnipeg Jets player Jim Kyte is taking part in the five-team hockey tournament along with eight members of his family.
"NFL 2018" - More stuff their lips could have said, just in time for the Super Bowl.
MINNEAPOLIS -- If you’ve been on YouTube in the past few years, you’ve seen a 'Bad Lip Reading' video. The premise is simple voice actors narrate what it looks like people are saying. The channel’s videos about the National Football League are some of its funniest and this year’s is no exception.

There’s some dang gold in there, you really just have to watch it to get the whole effect, but Cam Newton bragging about owning a zamboni, and Jay Cutler asking Derek Carr to scratch his back.
Of course, a basketball one would be difficult because none of these things would be particularly out of the ordinary for the NBA. So for now, let’s just enjoy the hilarity of this video and just in time for the Super Bowl, too!
A Quiet Place is directed by John Krasinski, who also stars in the film. Screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods began writing A Quiet Place in January 2016, and by March of 2017, Paramount Pictures bought their spec script.
