Deaf Protest Rally At The White House In D.C.

VIDEO [Signed] - Information updates on the Deaf protest at the White House in Washington, District of Columbia.





WASHINGTON - Deaf protest rally will be held on September 5th and 6th 2015 at the white house in Washington DC. The protest is all about unemployment, discrimination, civil rights and language barriers in the United States. Here's the information of the location, time, meet, trip, and employment statistics.



The White House announces a new location for the protest area at the Ellipse Park, instead the Lafayette Square due to the renovation. Up to 20,000 Deaf people gathering at the park at 10 am - 4 pm - as seen on the map: Here.



This is an explanation on the base of erroneous information on the percentage of Deaf unemployment. Reading and understanding statistics are complicated. It's imperative to be critic of any research or papers with numbers: 2014 Disability Statistics Annual Report.





Gallaudet Report - There are some statistics investigating the employment rate of working-age individuals with hearing loss in the United States. The statistics for 2013 are made available in the Disability Statistics Compendium, specifically Table 2.3. The data within Table 2.3 is based on data from the 2012 American Community Survey from the Census Bureau.



Deaf Protest Rally Free Ride - Group bus trip: Meet at New Jersey Association of the Deaf Campus by 5:30 am and leaving at 6 am to Lafayette Square Park in Washington D.C. Watch Video in ASL.



Please mark on your calendar to remind the date - September 5th and 6th 2015, and it will be at the White House in Washington DC. Be safe!

Deaf Worker Lawsuit BioLife For Discrimination

Deaf News: Deaf worker whose job offer was rescinded wins bias appeal.





Business Insurance - Deaf employees are allowed to use alternate alerting devices to perform their job, says an appeals court that reversed a ruling Monday in favor of a Deaf job applicant who had a job offer rescinded after being offered the position.



Kelly Osborne filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, Wyoming, against BioLife Plasma Services, a blood collecting facility located in Cheyenne that operates under Deerfield, Illinois-based Baxter Healthcare Corp. Ms. Osborne’s case stated the company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits employers from discriminating against a qualified individual on the basis of disability.



Ms. Osborne, who is Deaf but can read lips, applied for a plasma center technician position that required monitoring the donor area’s plasmapheresis machines that remove blood from a donor, separate the plasma and return the red blood cells to the donor. The machines emit audible alarms when something goes wrong. She was offered a position, but BioLife’s human resources department determined Ms. Osborne was not qualified, and the offer was rescinded, according to court documents.



The District Court decided May 30, 2014, that Ms. Osborne did not identify reasonable ways that she could monitor the donor blood machines using other methods to alert her and granted summary judgment to BioLife... Read more: http://businessinsurance.com/article/news

Deaf & Blind Get Behind The Wheel

VIDEO [CC] - Motor-racing is not for the faint-hearted. But when you are Deaf and Blind, it takes on a different dimension.





LODZ - Motor-racing is not for the faint-hearted. But when you are Deaf and Blind, it takes on a different dimension.



All 19 drivers who took part in this unusual race on the tarmac of the Lodz Airport in central Poland earlier this month were hearing and visually impaired.





But like Helen Keller - the American author, activist and lecturer who was the first Deaf and Blind person to graduate from college - they are pushing the envelope of their disabilities.



Mateusz Kotnowski of Poland's Deaf and Blind Aid Society explained: “Of 19 participants, 12 had never driven a car before, while seven used to drive before they became disabled.



“Some are completely Deaf and Blind. Those who can still see or hear a little wear masks and helmets to ensure an equal playing field for all,” he said.



Each participant had to complete two timed laps of the circuit while under the watchful eye of a co-driver. First, though, they had two days of training to get a feel for the steering wheel.



Three driving schools volunteered a parking lot, five cars and a handful of instructors - who first had to work out a language based on touch to communicate with the drivers... Read more: http://iol.co.za/motoring/motorsport/these-racers-are-deaf-and-blind

This Is How You Make An All Deaf Music Video

VIDEO [CC] - They may not be able to hear, but Deaf people still take great pleasure from music.





The Daily Beast - As Justin Jones entered a Rockaway-bound subway train on Tuesday night, there was an unusually vibrant scene: as a speaker blared the heavy beats to one of summer’s catchiest pop songs, a group of teens and young adults danced, laughed and sang--or rather, signed--their hearts out.



This enthusiastic group wasn’t disrupting the daily commutes of New York residents to raise money. The actors, who were mostly Deaf, were helping a young girl become comfortable with who she was.



A camera panned each of their faces. The director yelled, “Cut!”



Justin was standing on the platform of a once-abandoned station in Downtown Brooklyn that had been converted into the New York Transit Museum in 1976 while simultaneously offering a filming location for Hollywood blockbusters.



On Tuesday, the 1960s-era car served as the set for the Deaf Professional Arts Network’s (D-PAN) as a visit to the set of the Deaf Professional Arts Network’s latest music video shows.

Ukrainian Triumphs At Miss Deaf World 2015

VIDEO: Natalia Belan, 18, of Melitopol, Ukraine is the winner of the 2015 Miss Deaf World competition.





Kyiv Post - Natalia Belan is one special woman. It’s not just that the 18-year-old is a beauty, and the winner of a Miss World beauty contest held in Prague last month. It’s that she also happens to be Deaf.



The native of Melitopol in Zaporizhzhya Oblast won the Miss Deaf World competition in the Czech capital on July 19, fending off close competitors from Belarus and Vietnam. The competition this year was a special one as well – the jubilee 15th year of the event, which was first held in 2001.





“I had an excellent impression of the competition – everyone performed at the highest level,” Belan told the Kyiv Post.



This isn’t the first time the Ukrainian woman has been a winner: She studied at the Kamenka boarding school for Deaf children, which is famous at home and abroad for its dance group, which has won numerous competitions. Belan herself is a keen dancer, and is especially fond of oriental styles of dance.



On the way to her victory in Prague, Belan first won the Ukrainian Society of the Deaf UTOG’s regional beauty contest in Zaporizhzhya, and then went on to win the national competition Miss UTOG 2015. After that, she went on to represent Ukraine at the world and European finals of the competition, in which Ukraine has traditionally done well, Belan said.



In fact, Ukraine has pretty much dominated the event over the past 15 years, taking the top spot in the founding year 2001, then again in 2003, 2009, and now in 2015. Ukraine also came second in 2006, and took third in 2002, 2004, 2007, and 2012. Ukraine also won Miss Deaf Europe in 2012 – a competition that has been held since 2009....

Deaf Man Arrested For Bomb Threat Hoax

VIDEO: Exclusive: Deaf West Virginia man was arrested in Lubbock, Texas for Statue of Liberty bombing hoax in New York City.





NEW YORK POST - A Deaf West Virginia man was arrested in Texas on Wednesday for calling in a fake bomb threat to blow up the Statue of Liberty which forced the evacuation of more than 3,200 people from Liberty Island back in April, authorities said.





Jason Paul Smith, 42, called 911 from his iPad on April 24 and said his name was “Abdul Yasin,” that he was an “ISI terrorist,” and threatened that “we” are preparing to “blow up” the Statue of Liberty, court papers state.



Abdul Yasin is the last remaining fugitive charged with the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, according to court papers.



Smith goes to a school for the Deaf and Blind, and allegedly made the 911 call using a service that lets hearing-impaired people make phone calls.



The iPad registered to Smith made other 911 calls, including two in May 2015 from somebody who identified himself as “Isis allah Bomb maker” and who threatened to attack Times Square and kill police officers at the Brooklyn Bridge, according to the Manhattan US Attorney.



Smith could face up to five years behind bars for making the hoax call. He’ll appear Wednesday afternoon in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. Source

Football League Hires First Deaf Head Coach

Deaf News: Football league hires first Deaf head coach in Riverside, Ca.





RIVERSIDE - The Press Enterprise - Marcus Chmaj is an expressive football coach. To get his point across, he gets close. He crouches. He grimaces. The boys, all 7 or 8 years old, stand attentive, watching his every move.



The boys watch him closely because they can’t hear him speak. That’s because Chmaj can neither speak nor hear. “I use a lot of body language and gesturing,” Chmaj says through a sign language interpreter. “They pick it up faster that way.”



Chmaj, pronounced “Sshmahj,” is the first Deaf head coach in the history of Riverside’s Orangecrest Junior All-American League.



The league first reached out to the Deaf community a few years ago, said league President Danny Cisneros, to “bridge the gap” between those who can hear and those who can’t.



Now team rosters include about a dozen deaf players, two of whom play on Chmaj’s team and one of whom is Chmaj’s son Donovan, 7.



Sometimes Chmaj, 35, communicates by writing in a notepad or typing into a note-taking app. Occasionally Aaron Chase Molina-Milbourne, 24, a Riverside City College sign language student, volunteers as translator.



In ten years of coaching football, basketball and soccer, mostly at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, this is Chmaj’s first time at the helm of a hearing team... Read more: http://pe.com/articles/chmaj-deaf-football.html

Reality Television Needs More Deaf Talent

VIDEO: Even though our reality is full of individuals who are Deaf/HoH, only a handful of this population has been given an opportunity to join the cast of a reality TV show.



Huffington Post by Lydia Callis - Cycle 22 of America's Next Top Model premiered last week and one contestant, Nyle DiMarco, really captured viewers' attention. Not only is he charming and, as Tyra Banks herself said, "finneeeee. DiMarco is the very first Deaf contestant to compete on ANTM, and he quickly became a fan favorite.



Based on the overwhelmingly positive audience reaction, it's worth asking the question once again: Why don't we see more #DeafTalent representation in mainstream media?





According to a 2005 Gallaudet University survey, approximately 13 percent of U.S. citizens are Deaf/HoH -- which is roughly one out of every eight people. Even though our reality is full of individuals who are Deaf/HoH, only a handful of this population has been given an opportunity to join the cast of a reality TV show. They don't fit into the "reality" that producers are trying to create, and that is a shame for all of us.



Over the past few years, we have seen a small number of Deaf/HoH personalities get the chance to shine on reality TV. Actress Marlee Matlin made it all the way to the final episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, raising over a million dollars for charity. On hit CBS show The Amazing Race, Deaf competitor Luke Adams traveled the world conquering many challenges and ultimately came in third place.

Deaf Lebanese Contemporary Dance Performance

VIDEO: English Subtitles - Deaf Lebanese choreographer Pierre Geagea’s project combines dance with sign language.





StepFeed - Pierre Geagea, a Lebanese choreographer and contemporary expressionist dancer, has created a special kind of performance that fuses the grace and fluidity of sign language, with the emotional depth of modern dance.



Geagea says the idea for” Mother Tongue” came when he thought of “mixing contemporary ballet with expressionism and sign language.” This was his first step in taking the essence of dance being a form of communication to a whole new level.





The 34-year-old, who was born Deaf, spent his childhood unable to hear or speak. In his mid-teens, after strenuous effort and endless sessions of speech therapy, he learned to read lips. Donating to Pierre Geagea’s fundraising campaign site: Projects Mothertongue



Geagea says that dance helped him communicate when he lacked the ability to speak. “When I was around 10,” Geagea told Beirut.com, “I didn’t know much about dance but I used to love Michael Jackson”.



This was a performer who inspired him, and he immediately found dance to be a form of self-expression and a source of strength... Read more: https://stepfeed.com/more-categories/culture/deaf-lebanese-choreographers-project-combines-dance-sign-language

Deaf Boy With A 'Bionic Ear'

VIDEO: 'Bionic ear' Deaf boy hear his family for the first time goes viral.



CNN - In many ways, Caiden Moran is an average five-year-old boy. Running around his front yard, climbing trees and playing with his brother, the only difference you might notice is the small device on the side of his head.





"Caiden was born, and before we left the hospital we did the newborn hearing screening. And he had failed, so we came back a week later, did the test again, failed again," said his mother Danielle Moran.



Caiden was born profoundly Deaf, with no cochleas an inner part of the ear that converts sound to nerve impulses and sends them to the brain. At the time doctors confirmed baby Caiden was deaf his father Tommy a member of the U.S. Navy had been deployed to Hawaii.



"I was sad," he said. "I didn't know anybody who was deaf, I didn't know sign language, I didn't know how to be a good dad and raise a Deaf child."



Because Caiden had no cochleas, a cochlear implant would be of no help. Instead, his parents learned sign language, assuming it would be the only way their son could ever communicate. Then, by chance, Danielle heard about a potential solution an auditory brainstem implant (ABI).



An ABI consists of a microphone and transmitter on the head, which convert sounds from the outside world into electrical signals. Those signals are transmitted to an internal receiver made up of electrodes, implanted on the brainstem. The auditory neurons are stimulated directly in the brain, bypassing the inner ear completely... Read more: http://cnn.com/2015/08/17/health/bionic-ear-auditory-brainstem-implant/index.html

Tianjin Explosion and Aftermath Video Compilation

RAW VIDEO: Explosion in Tianjin, China 12/08/2015 - Dozens Dead, Areas of Chinese Port City Devastated.





CNN TIANJIN, CHINA - You can see the devastation everywhere: in the hollowed-out shells of buildings, in the anguished faces of relatives, in the parade of scorched cars.



But what set off the terrifying explosions that ripped through warehouses containing hazardous chemical materials, shooting fireballs across the sky and shaking buildings more than 2 miles away?





Hours later, amid the destruction in this northern Chinese port city of more than 13 million people, the cause of Wednesday night's blast remained unclear.



A chemical odor hung in the air Thursday. Fires still burned in the thinly populated waterfront industrial district where the explosions went off. And the grim toll kept mounting.



Tianjin Explosion From Car Dash Cam - The massive explosion in Tianjin was caught on camera from a car's dash cam, showing both explosions. You can see the shockwave from the first explosion and then people running away followed by a much larger shockwave from the second explosion just seconds later.
