DeafDigest - 26 October 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - October 26, 2021 -- deaf mechanic's unusual method Yesterday's DeafDigest mentioned a deaf mechanic that solves engine problems that hearing mechanics couldn't. Here is another one - a deaf mechanic that worked with diesel engines. He was high in demand by auto repair shops in Midland, Texas and around West Texas. He would use a broomstick with the brush cut off. One end would touch the vibrating engine; the other end would touch his cheekbones! Tracking down the problem, he would immediately get the engine fixed.   -- Prime Minister tries to push interpreter away Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's Prime Minister was giving a speech at a press conference, and in the process, tried to push the interpreter out of the way, but the interpreter resisted. This Prime Minister then issued an apology but the damage was done.   -- ASL-speaking emergency alert devices Do emergency alert devices use ASL? There is a new such device that is being used in Austin, Texas and Travis County. It is called the Accessible Hazard Alert System. Does it show captions for the benefit of many, many deaf people that don't use ASL? It was not mentioned in their press release.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 10/24/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
