DeafDigest - 16 January 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - January 16, 2019 -- The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk How busy is the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk? It averages 550 calls per day from the deaf and the disabled, asking for assistance on these Microsoft products and software.   -- an unusual owner of a small town coffee cafe Seth Hill, who owns the Tarot Cafe in Watertown, NY, is somewhat unusual. One night every week he hosts ASL lessons and it is open to the public. Purchase of a cup of coffee is not required. How many business owners would host these ASL classes on a weekly basis? Not too many, DeafDigest thinks so.   -- big time actress turns down a fake-deaf role DeafDigest praises Jameela Jamil, a well known British actress. She was offered a fake-deaf role in an upcoming movie and turned it down. She said that this deaf role should go to a more deserving deaf actress. Actors and actresses, desperate for roles would accept any role. Not Jameela Jamil!   Deaf jobs – latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 01/13/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
