Top stories about the deaf:
There was a story that AI (artificial intelligence)
could come up with an almost-perfect video of
“fake” interpreter signing to a deaf client. This
is not great because AI is not perfect and interpreters
are almost perfect!
………..
What is wrong with high-definition TVs? A story
said that there is so much information crammed
on our screens. As a result, captions get smaller
and the corner showing sign language interpreter
get smaller and smaller. This means a huge
magnifying glass in front of the TV set.
……….
Another name for see-through masks?
Smile Masks! This idea was being discussed
by a group of the disabled in Massachusetts.
…………….
A job coach, working with the deaf, said:
Their First Challenge: Getting A Meaningful Job
A meaningful job means a job that is not
considered menial and just an entry-level
and a dead-end with no future prospects.
………………
Do hotel chains welcome owners of Harley
motorcycles? One chain did – sponsoring
“We hear you” as a theme.

This week’s ASL video in youtube
DEAF HISTORY RESEARCH FRUSTRATION
For example – in Year 1900, a deaf writer
writes a Deaf Story, but information is not
complete and is little vague.
Year 2017, a Deaf History Researcher
finds that old 1900 story and is very
frustrated because of incomplete and
vague information.
Happens all the time in Deaf History
and Hearing History

This week’s ASL video in youtube
A BASKETBALL REFEREE THAT LAUGHS HARD DURING TIME OUT
You are watching a basketball game at Gallaudet
University.
During a timeout, a hearing fan shouted something
at a hearing referee.
The hearing referee suddenly looked at the hearing
fan and laughed very hard.
Why did the hearing referee laugh very hard? We
will never know.
