-- deaf man racing the bulls
A big tradition in Spain is the annual Pamplona
Bull Run. Brave men run ahead of the bulls
hoping they won't be gored. These runners come
from everywhere in the world just to participate
in this annual tradition. A deaf man running
with the bulls? Yes - Sergio Colas participates
in the run every summer. He says his deafness
is an advantage because he is not bothered by
the noise, with bothers these hearing runners.
See a picture of him running ahead of the bulls
in middle of the crowd:

-- future of loud music
What is the future of loud music, which causes deafness
among musicians and music fans? According to Timbeland,
a recording artist (real name Timothy Zachery Mosley),
the future is vibration, not sound! Hearing people
going for vibrations? Timbeland is pushing for
this movement - and said the deaf can benefit the
most from vibrations!
-- Skype to provide Business captions
Microsoft is installing real time captions in the Skype
For Business software. It will be in a test beta
version for the time being. Part of the prss release

The feature may also be a boon to hearing-impaired users,
who will now be able to get live captions from feeds that
are sent over Skype Meeting Broadcast
As with other types of live captions, DeafDigest is
always concerned with possible garbling of actually
said words.
