The next DSA conference is at Windy City (Chicago) .. It is terrible to be deaf. This is the attitude exhibited by the residents of Dadhkai, a village hidden in the remote section of India. This tiny village consists of 47 families, and each one has at least a deaf member. This has been going on since 1931. Why the high incidence of deafness? Interbreeding. And said a village resident: The birth of a child is a very happy occasion, meant to be celebrated. But here the birth of a child leads to harassment not only for the parents but for the entire village The village needs a massive attitude adjustment! .. Leon Lim is a promising deaf artist, out of Malaysia, but attending graduate classes at New York University.

ANOTHER DEAF WOMAN AT THE HALL OF FAME Last week DeafDigest mentioned four deaf women that have been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY. There is one more. It is Helen Brooke Taussig, a pioneering physician and cardiologist. Her discovery with a heart operation procedure has saved many lives. A FAMOUS SINGER USES SIGN LANGUAGE One famous singer uses sign language at home. He is not deaf, and his wife is not deaf. Then why does he use sign language to communicate with his wife? Because he wants to save his voice for singing; he is afraid that if talks too much, it will hurt his voice. DeafDigest does not know if he signs in ASL or with gestures and body language! - for ASL News version, please click on: http://deafdigest.com/videos/video-singer/ (for your convenience, video links are posted on top of each DeafDigest edition) LOSING VALUABLE DEAF HISTORY Few years ago a deaf man, who lived in Washington, DC, died of old age. His hobby was Deaf History. He went to the Gallaudet library all the time to research many books and many magazines for his deaf history work. When he died, all of his deaf history knowledge, information and facts went with him to his grave. Why? He wanted his work to be a secret and did not want to share his work with others! It is a shame. - for ASL News version, please click on: http://deafdigest.com/videos/video-secret/ (for your convenience, video links are posted on top of each DeafDigest edition) THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD Is there such a thing as the "Best Job in the World?" Ben Southall, not deaf, will begin a new job that is for 6 months only as the caretaker of the Hamilton Island. He will be paid $121,000 for his work. What about the deaf? DeafDigest editor knows of a deaf person who hated his regular job. He hated it so much that he would often skip work and stay home. He became friends with a wealthy man, a senior citizen, who was not deaf. This senior citizen needed a full time chauffeur to drive him around few times a day. One thing led to another, and the deaf man took an early retirement from his hated job to take the new job as chauffeur. The Best Job in the World for him? You decide! ONE THING A FORMER TEACHER DID NOT TELL A while back DeafDigest listed "10 Things They won't tell you" - which was in reference to secrets professionals know but won't share with the public. A DeafDigest subscriber was offended. Well, many years ago, DeafDigest editor, as a kid, attended an oral school for the deaf in New York City. Sign language was forbidden (though many of deaf kids signed on the sly). The editor had a teacher who was a Coda, and was a fluent signer, and he was very lipreadable in the classroom. Many years later, the editor bumped into the old Coda teacher at Gallaudet where he was attending a workshop. Naturally in sign language, there was a conversation and the old teacher said: I was easy to lipread, but I do not always speak that way. I made it a point to always slow down when I speak. But if you watched me speak away from the classroom, you would not understand a single word I would say. DeafDigest editor never forgot that comment! And so, it becomes the 11th thing that we are not being told. JUST DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY IN INDIA Newspapers in India are forever calling the deaf as deaf-mute or deaf-and-dumb when printing stories about them. Anyway, Mirakle Couriers, a parcel delivery company in India, hires deaf couriers. Each delivery has a message pasted on top. The message says: Delivered and sorted by deaf adults Is it that really necessary to tell the world that it is so amazing that a deaf person could deliver parcels? Or maybe there is a reason - bias against the deaf in India is so overwhelming, that the public needs to be constantly reminded that the deaf can do anything, except to hear? TALES FROM FORMER DEAF PIZZA DRIVERS (series to be run on a weekly basis until list of tales run out) I worked at one store where tips were bad. To get more money in tips, I applied for a job at a different store where tipping was much better. The manager, upon learning I delivered pizzas at the poor-tipping store, practically rolled down the red carpet, welcoming me into his store! The tips were great at the new store. If you are a former Deaf Pizza Driver and have an interesting tale, please share it with: mailto:barry@deafdigest.com .............................................................. .............................................................. For postings, announcements and employment ad rates, please email mailto:barry@deafdigest.com for Special Notes, please go to the bottom of this section .............................................................. .............................................................. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? DWD DWD means Driving While Deaf, part of the jargon the cops use. This describes deaf drivers that are stopped on a traffic violation and then play-act "me dumb, me deaf" in hopes of getting out of a traffic ticket! .............................................................. .............................................................. 31st World's Largest ASL Silent Weekend in 2010 Signing Greeting Cards ASL and Interpreting DVDs Registration for this year's 30th Silent Weekend is closed with over 600 attending.

Hot DeafNews boring, but important! Several deaf organizations are exulting over the selection of Julius Genachowski, as the new FCC chair. Past chairs have been great to the deaf; other past chairs have been disappointments. Just stay tuned! .. DeafLibrary Page of the Week http://deafdigest.com/hate random comments we hate to hear (on a rotating basis, a different DeafLibrary Page topic will be featured every week) .. Deaf Picture of the Week: "We've having a communication problem" - Bulbul, 1990 http://deafdigest.com/ (just scroll down on the screen until you see the picture) The picture was hung on the walls of the Women's Rights National Historical Park, Seneca Falls, NY. While the picture is not deaf-related, as intended by cartoonist Bulbul (first name is not known), it is definitely deaf-related from a deaf person's point of view. DeafDigest editor never heard of Bulbul; her web site is at: http://www.bulbul.com/ .. Question of the week: Q, Why Netflix Doesn't Offer Subtitles or Closed Captions? A. Netflix said they have to figure out a way to let individuals turn the words on or off. There is an issue of English subtitles on foreign language movies as opposed to English subtitles on English speaking movies. DeafDigest says it is a cop out! send your questions to mailto:barry@deafdigest.com the most interesting questions may be answered in future DeafDigest editions. Thank you. .. Wish List of the Week: that all future decisions made by new FCC chair Julius Genachowski be pro-deaf .. DeafHistory - Looking Back: Year 1947 - deaf telecommunication issues were: - radio (no captions) - hearing aids - talking motion pictures (no captions) - TV (no captions) - photography - walkie-talkie (no digital readouts) The more things change the more things remain the same! .. Deaf and the Money: $400 - the cost to rent a minor league baseball stadium to play one game. A school for the deaf baseball team played a game against a hearing high school at a minor league baseball stadium. Said the school baseball coach: worth every cent! .. DeafNumbers of the Week: Year 1984 - 21 deaf employees Year 2009 - 140 deaf employees at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center at Tinker ..
