DeafDigest - 25 September 2020

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 25, 2020 -- no one forgets a Deaf Legend Beethoven passed away 193 years ago. Yet music-lovers and non-music lovers all know who he was. Very few people are well-remembered so many years later after their deaths. Beethoven is in that group of well-remembered select few!   -- Deaf Man Cave; Hearing Man Cave There was a big story in the newspapers about Hearing Man Cave inside a hidden and forgotten utility room deep inside, under these Grand Central (NYC) railroad tracks. It is illegal and these three employees have gotten away with it for years until they were caught. Deaf Man Caves at some Deaf Organizations and at some Deaf Schools? In a way, yes. There have been tales over the years of these secret (and illegal) Man Caves at these Deaf Sites. DeafDigest editor actually saw one such Man Cave - but that was years ago.   -- Judge's ruling ordering the White House is flawed A U.S. district judge in DC ordered the White House to use ASL interpreters at all Covid-19 press conferences. A win for the deaf? Hope so because this ruling only applies to Covid-19 briefings and not to all other non-Covid-19 briefings. And what happens if White House stops these Covid-19 briefings? This is scary.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 09/20/20 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
