-- picture of deaf beer brewer in action
Ken Fischer's hobby is beer brewing. He takes his
hobby seriously, making trips to Europe to tour
these famed European breweries. Here is a picture
of him brewing his beer at an Italian brewery:

-- only one internet relay provider remaining
this is not good news for deaf people that prefer
to use internet relay. The message from Purple is this:
As a result of FCC action, IP-Relay is forced to cease
providing this service to our customers effective
November 14, 2014. If you would like to use IP-Relay
after this date, you will need to port your text
ten-digit number to Sprint, the only remaining provider.
If Sprint closes their IP relay, then there will be
problems among non-signing, non-speaking deaf.
-- two nations propose to co-host the 2021 Deaflympics
Could two nations, that don't get along with each other,
possibly co-host peacefully the 2021 Deaflympics, some
nearly six years ahead? Iran and Armenia have made
that proposal with the Deaflympics governing body.
Both nations are different from each other politically
and culturally - and so, DeafDigest is concerned if
this joint effort can be done peacefully?
