Bad Lip Reading - "Interrogating Zuckerberg"

Watch the hilarious 'Bad Lip Reading's "Interrogating Zuckerberg", tension mounted during Mark Zuckerberg's congressional hearings.

On April 10th and 11th, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was grilled by Congress for 10 hours total, in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Sight of the 33-year-old techie in the Senate and the House without his gray hoodie inspired more memes than it did debate, with the booster seat Zuckerberg used earning the most jokes.

How Deaf Drivers Can Be Safe From Police

After Deaf man is killed by cop, here's how hearing impaired drivers can be safe in the United States.

NEW YORK CITY -- The recent fatal shooting of a Deaf driver by a police officer in North Carolina has raised questions about safety for hearing impaired motorists.

Jennifer Labriola, the principal of the New York School for the Deaf who drives to work each day, told Inside Edition through a sign language interpreter that if a hearing impaired driver is pulled over, "you tell the police officer you're Deaf and 'I need to write this down.' You point to your ear."

WFD - Over 70 Million Deaf People In The World

WATCH: Over 70 million Deaf people in the world... believe it or not.

There are over 70 million Deaf people in the world. Many of them are either Deaf from birth or became Deaf before learning the spoken language.

This fact has serious implications for the education of Deaf people. To be Deaf means to not hear or comprehend speech and language through the ear.

Communication for a person who cannot hear is visual, not auditory. To deny sign language to Deaf people is tantamount to denying them their basic human rights to communication and education.

Video Description/ English Summary: The video has two points, (1) that the World Federation of the Deaf estimates that 80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all. (2) How does this make you feel? Isn't this a shocking, disgusting, and infuriating statistic? So what do you plan to do about it?

1 - "80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all." If you have your Paddy Ladd's "Understanding Deaf Culture: In Search of Deafhood" near you, grab it and flip to page 44. Alternatively, at the end of this very paragraph there's a link that will take you to the WFD article that the citation in the book is from: Read The Full Info.

Deaf Seahawks Inspires Young Deaf Twins

FLANDERS, New Jersey -- Nine-year-old twins Riley and Erin Kovalcik were born with a genetic condition that left them partially Deaf. Last week, they saw a TV commercial featuring the Seattle Seahawks’ Derrick Coleman.

The Seattle Seahawks' Derrick Coleman makes fans' dream come true with tickets to the Super Bowl.

"I thought it was very touching because I didn’t think there was any athlete that actually could play that could be exactly hearing impaired like me and Erin," Riley says. "Like, I mean, seriously!"

"I saw the Duracell battery commercial. I remembered him saying he was bullied, and I was like, 'What? How is he a football player? I mean, he's really strong, but how does he let them bully him?'" Erin says.

Riley herself was picked on in school and was told not to play sports - a warning she ignored. After the Seahawks won last weekend, Riley picked up a pencil.

"Dear my inspiration Derrick Coleman," she says, reading her letter. "I know how you feel. I also have hearing aids. Just try your best. I have faith in you."

Their father Jake tweeted a picture of the letter, hoping Coleman would see it.

"I just wanted him to know how much he's doing for Deaf kids and little kids and all kids with disabilities," Jake says. "It doesn’t matter that you're deaf. It doesn't matter that you may have some other disability. You can be exceptional too."

That night, the Seahawks re-tweeted the letter. It's been shared and re-tweeted 2,700 times... Read The Full Story.

Sony New Subtitle Glasses For Deaf Moviegoers

Sony ‘subtitle glasses’ could be a hit with Deaf moviegoers, Sony’s entertainment access glasses utilizing unique holographic technology.

The movie industry’s transformation to digital technology has created an opportunity to efficiently deliver closed caption data to movie patrons. This coincides with large demand from people with hearing difficulties to watch movies more easily and enjoyably.

Sony has therefore developed entertainment access glasses utilizing its unique holographic technology: the STW-C140GI Entertainment Access Glasses with Audio and, as part of this solution, the STWA-C101 Data Transmitter. When wearing this stylish and lightweight see-through eyewear, users can see closed caption text seemingly superimposed onto the movie picture that they’re watching on screen - it’s a natural subtitle-movie experience.

In addition, as the captioning glasses’ receiver box is equipped with an audio assist function, this solution is useful not only for people with hearing difficulties but also for people with visual impairments - both can enjoy movies far more than ever before... READ MORE.

Visit Sony for more details: HERE.

invisibleCAPTIONS - A presentation of our newly innovative product. Please share this video with every single person on the planet you know!

I realize that many of you have many great questions- we are currently working on our own website and we will be posting updates and answering some questions on our Facebook page so please stay tuned and check out more information there. Our transcript for this video can be viewed here.

Cinema subtitle glasses give promise to Deaf film fans - People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing have long complained that going to watch a film can be an unsatisfactory experience, with subtitled films on at unsociable times and often suffering from technical problems.

But a solution could soon available in the form of special glasses which allow the wearer to see subtitles directly in front of their eyes, giving them the freedom of choice afforded to hearing people. Graham Satchell reports.

Cinemas are letting Deaf people down.

Subtitled screenings are unreliable and hard to find, but digital technology means cinemas now have little excuse, Imagine the following scenario. You go to the cinema, buy your ticket and your popcorn and after taking your seat, sit through 20 minutes of trailers and adverts before the start of the film. But, as the opening scene begins, you realise the sound's not working, and you can't understand a thing.

The cinema staff run around fiddling with wires before deciding they can't fix it and, with that being the last screening of the night, you toddle off home with an apology and a free ticket for a future show. You'd feel gutted, wouldn't you? I mean, how often does that happen? Maybe if you were a glass half-full kind of person you'd figure that you were unlucky – you caught them on a bad night.

For Deaf people, the chain of events I've described isn't just a one-off – it's happened to nearly every deaf cinema-goer I know. Except it's not the sound that goes missing, it's subtitles. Which we need to understand the film. Right now, Deaf film fans have very little trust left in cinema chains, and many people I know have stopped bothering; they prefer to watch DVDs... READ MORE.

Deaf People May Have Trouble Reading

A new reason for why the Deaf may have trouble reading, health report.

Deaf people may have no trouble communicating words through American Sign Language, or ASL. But studies of ASL users show that the average Deaf adult reads at the level of a nine-year-old. The explanation has always been that this is because they never learned to connect letters with sounds.

But a recent study shows that Deaf readers are just like other people learning to read in a second language.

Linguist Jill Morford led the study. She says: "The assumption has always been that the problems with reading were educational issues with what's the right way to teach reading when you can't associate sounds with letters. But what we're finding is that all this time we've been ignoring the fact that they're actually learning a new language." Ms. Morford is a professor at the University of New Mexico and part of a research center at Gallaudet University in Washington.

Most students at Gallaudet are Deaf; the center studies how Deaf people learn and use language. Professor Morford says signers are like English learners whose first language uses a different alphabet. She says: "Anyone who has a first language that has a written system that's very different than English, like Arabic or Chinese or Russian, knows that learning to recognize and understand words in English is much more challenging than if you already speak a language that uses the same orthography. "The orthography is the written system and spelling of a language. Of course, with signers, their first language has no written system at all, just hand gestures.

Gallaudet professor Thomas Allen explains what effect this has on reading. He says: "There's a silent hearing going on ... when a hearing person reads a word. When a deaf person reads a word, there's not. They see the word and there's some kind of an orthographic representation.

And some of the research in our center has shown that when Deaf readers read an English word, it activates their sign representations of those words." Signers can face the same problems as other bilingual people. Their brains have to choose between two languages all the time. Take the words "paper" and "movie." Their spelling and meaning are not at all similar. But, as Professor Allen points out, the signs for them are. To make the sign for paper," he says, "you hold one hand flat and you just lightly tap it with a flat palm on the other hand, and you do that a couple times and that means paper." Movie is very similar, except the other hand "lightly moves back and forth as if it were a flickering image on a screen."

How To Hypnotize A Deaf Person

New method how to hypnotize a Deaf person.

How to hypnotize a Deaf person, this is kind of funny, but it's a genuinely effective method used to hypnotise people who are completely Deaf. Turn it up. Anyway it's real and does actually work.

Just as a count down works with progression, or a relaxation verbal induction takes the person progressively through a process, so does the light electric pulsing of the Csta. It gives a light shock that slows down and gently takes the person into a form of trance. Visit https://FreeHypnosisTrainingOnline for more information.

Cop Kicks Deaf Man In The Face During Arrest

Cop kicks legally Deaf man in the face during arrest in Canada.

COLD LAKE, Alberta -- A YouTube video of an Alberta RCMP officer kicking Richard Claybert in the face has sparked an investigation and caught the attention of the province.

According to a statement released by RCMP, three officers from the Cold Lake detachment responded to complaints of a noisy party in a parking lot of a community hall early Saturday, Sept. 22.

While responding, one of the party organizers asked for police assistance in clearing the crowd. An intoxicated man refused to leave and two officers began the process of putting the man under arrest while the third officer continued crowd control. According to Metro Edmonton, it was the third time police were called to the hall that night.

RCMP have identified the man being arrested as 21-year-old Richard Claybert.

In the grainy, shaky footage posted to YouTube, Claybert appears face-down on the ground while two officers attempt to handcuff him. Onlookers taunt and yell at the officers and you can hear one man shouting "Seven-11 for the rest of your life, man. Seven-11," although it is not clear whether it is coming from a bystander or an officer... Read The Full Story.

Kansas Budget Cuts Are Bad News For KSD

Kansas budget cuts could mean bad news for the Kansas State School for the Deaf.

OLATHE, Kansas -- A mandate to cut the budgets for Kansas state agencies could be bad news for a school in Olathe, Kan., that's been helping children since 1861.

In the kindergarten classroom at the Kansas School for the Deaf , kids are learning to communicate using their hands instead of their voices. They are immersed in American Sign Language.

Like the 140 other students at the school, they will be immersed in Deaf culture during their years here, learning to cope in a hearing world.

Mary Grove is a KSD senior. She's been a student here since she was 4 years old. "This is my second home, you know, and the people here are my family,’' she said.

Sarah Churman Book Excerpt: Deaf Woman Describes Hearing For First Time

Sarah Churman's 'Powered On' details her life's journey and offers unique insights from the perspective of a woman who has experienced both sides of a disability.

LOS ANGELES -- Sarah Churman, 29, was born with a tiny fraction of her hearing. Last year she had surgery to implant a new device, The Esteem, into each ear. Her mother-in-law cashed in her retirement to part of the $60,000 bill.

Before Sarah and her husband, Sloan, left for the hospital to have the surgery, Churman's mother-in-law made one request of her son: film Churman's reaction to hearing for the first time. The 90-second clip has gone viral, having been viewed more than 14 million times.

Churman tells her story in a memoir titled "Powered On," which will be released soon by Indigo River Publishing. Here is an excerpt... Read The Full Story.

Deaf Art Community - I'M POSSIBLE

Deaf Art Community Jogja group hip hop bisu tuli from Indonesia.

“In nature there’s no blemish but the mind, none can be called deformed but unkind” (William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night Act III Scene IV)

Never has God created imperfect people, or what-is-so-called ‘disabled’. People who call them as disabled are the most cruel people. God created people with the highest perfection and having the same right to develop their potentials to gain wealth.

Until these days, the lives of disabled people and Deaf people in Indonesia are still marginalized both structurally and culturally. There is injustice to get their rights for education, jobs, health, social, culture, law, access for information, and public facilities use. In other word, there is discrimination toward disabled people in the society. Attitudes towards disability are quite bad in Indonesia, and there is a lingering association of impairment with wrong-doing.

Most people are embarrassed about disability, and Deaf children are sometimes hidden away, especially in rural areas. Some of the Deaf people in the organisations we work with say their parents let them come to meetings in the hope that they will ‘become normal’ by forbidding them from using sign language. Faced with negative attitudes like this, Deaf children often grow up to have low self-esteem and little self-confidence.

Too many people are busy with their own importance; trying to get more money, chasing better carriers, and thinking to get higher positions, or even cheating for their own sakes as they have forgotten their surroundings that need their hands.

Through this paper, I would like to invite people to step into the proud of, emergent DEAF-WORLD and learn about its language, values, history, and concerns and to see a ‘real world’ surround us, but might have not been seen or heard by our very own eyes & ears to ‘open’ other people’s eyes to see a Deaf community that is considered as a minor-marginal-community in Indonesia as disabled people, while not many people realize that Deaf community is not disabled people but they see themselves as ‘language minority group’ who are fighting to get their right of sign language as their first mother tongue language.

Through our presentation, we will guide all of you to have a wonderful journey tour into the Deaf world in Indonesia, their Deaf culture, sign language, Deaf education and their life. We will have it through our interactive workshop, to give you an opportunity to experience a little of what the works is like for a Deaf person.

In everyday like, Deaf people try to overcome barriers to communication in an environment that is designed to meet needs of hearing people. We hope that this workshop will provide a valuable insight into the life of Deaf people.

By attending the workshop, you will gain a better understanding of how to communicate with deaf people (communication strategies), how to be Deaf like is, some basic Indonesian sign, how Deaf enjoy the music and culture art in theatre. Indonesia News video clip: Deaf Art Community Jogja.

Ban On Bulk SMS Hits Deaf People Hard

Ban on bulk SMS hits Deaf people hard the nation of India.

NEW DELHI, India -- The Government of India's blanket ban orders on limiting the number of SMSes may have been rational in terms of its bid to stop miscreants from sending bulk sms that spread panic. But there's a whole new segment that finds the clock stops as soon as the smses stop.

The most inconvenienced by this order are the 1.8 million hearing & speech impaired citizens of the nation. It began as a move to stem the exodus of North Eastern citizens... arising out of rumours being spread by certain vested interest groups.

The government in an effort to stop these messages initiated a ban on more than 5 sms from any pre-paid number for 15 days. Amidst criticism and growing public outcry the govt increased the limit to 20 sms a day. A Deaf person would require to send anywhere between 100 to 250 sms' per day to carry on with their basic activities... Read The Full Story.
