-- Two BIG deaf birthdays celebrated at almost same time
For the past several months Gallaudet has been promoting its
150th anniversary to take place in 2014, which is not too
many months ahead. And now this - NTID is going to celebrate
its 45th anniversary. Happy anniversary, Gallaudet and NTID!
-- how did Matt Hamill perform last night in Brazil?
Matt Hamill, the deaf ultimate fighter, fought Brazilian
Thiago Silva last night. Matt lost - the judges voted
30-27, 30-27, and 29-27 against him. Matt said it was
a bad fight that he had to reduce weight, saying it
was his fault for going overweight in the first place,
and that he realized he has disappointed his fans.
- a deaf person wants to become a flight attendant
Could a deaf person become a flight attendant? DeafDigest
has not known of any deaf person that has become a flight
attendant. This is not to say they cannot. Anyway Shuki
Assouline, a deaf Israeli wants to become a flight attendant
but the nation's Civil Aviation Authority and also the
El Al airline both said no. They are saying it is for
safety reasons why a deaf person cannot become a flight
attendant. Shuki is not giving up, though.
