-- most deaf-friendly pub in Scotland
"Behind the Wall" is the name of a pub in Falkirk, Scotland,
located between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. This
pub just won Scotland's Top Independent Pub honor. The
pub management tries to make their pub a pleasant experience
for Scots and tourists that want to enjoy themselves. How
is it deaf-friendly? This pub has hired interpreters for
the deaf! We do not find too many pubs that are deaf-friendly
except for watering holes near Gallaudet and NTID.
-- an unusual social worker
A social worker has an important role. They help clients
deal with problems and issues - such as housing,
medical needs, family problems, employment problems, etc.
Gallaudet offers a degree in Social Work so that these
graduates can work with deaf clients. But what about a
deaf social worker with hearing clients! Impossible?
Well, Jason Maloney, a Gallaudet graduate, was a former
social worker that dealt with hearing clients -
drug addicts and alcohoholics and those with mental health
issues.
-- a future surfing champion
Kieran Grant, a deaf teen from Jacksonville, Florida, is
one of the world's most promising young surfers. He has been
in major surfing championship events across the world,
finishing high in these events and even winning one event.
Sometimes ESPN will show these surfing events, and if so
maybe Kieran will be in the program.
