-- deaf-owned business ranked in the top 1 percent
DeafDigest mentioned a while ago that a new
deaf-owned business proposes to upstage its
competitors in the weight training field.
Gripbell is currently ranked among top one
percent as compared to hearing run start-ups.
What is Gripbell? Look at the picture:

-- tale of Deaf Child Signs
As mentioned in DeafDigest, Bowie, a town in
Texas, refused to install Deaf Child Signs,
saying there was no money for it whereas
other nearby towns have these signs. To
the rescue is the Bowie Rural Fire
Department coming up with the money. In
just few minutes these volunteer firemen
took out their wallets and threw their
money in a hat. Everyone is happy except
the very embarrassed Bowie town council.
-- deaf jurors in demand in Detroit
For years courts have avoided using the
deaf as jurors. This barrier was not cracked
until sometime in the late eighties. Now
the city of Detroit have welcomed the deaf
as jurors. They said the deaf readily
accept jury duty whereas hearing people
try to avoid it. Plus they're good a studying
body language to see testimonies are
truthful or just lies! This is just in
Detroit; not sure if it runs true for
other cities.
