DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, July 11, 2015 morning
-- a store invents a sign language gesture
Asda stores is a supermarket chain in Great
Britain. A famous trademark with that
chain is "pocket tap." The actors in the
TV commercials tap their pocket with
their hand. This tap is automatically
identified with these Asda stores.
And it has become part of the British
Sign Language! When a deaf person taps,
his friends know he's going to shop
at that store for groceries!
-- a mysterious death of a deaf athlete
DeafDigest mentioned that Yana Budyukina,
a deaf Russian soccer player, was killed
in Brazil earlier this week. She loved
life, much more than just soccer,
especially traveling. She has visited
Germany, France, Thailand, India, China,
Sweden, Switzerland and Spain. She was
hit by a car while walking through a road
tunnel, a dangerous path according to
local Brazilian drivers. Why the tunnel
walk? It will always remain a mystery!
