captioning (with accuracy), USA swept much of
the honors, beating out competitors from many
other nations. This means our realtime captions

-- irony in Austin, Texas
Austin, Texas has been praised as a great place
for the deaf. Yet there have been complaints
that Austin town hall meetings that are not
captioned. It was a Texan, President
George H.W. Bush that signed ADA into law.
And current Texas governor Greg Abbott
uses the wheelchair. Austin is the capital
of Texas and should be a pacesetter for
the needs of the deaf and disabled in
the state, beyond the city limits!
-- a big shock with the Deaflympics
2017 Summer Deaflympics is now history,
and deaf athletes are now focusing on
the 2021 Summer Deaflympics. The big
shock - it is taking place in Dubai!
This nation is the most hated one among
these Middle East nations because of
alleged human rights violations. And
there is another thing - intense heat,
with temperatures capable of reaching
125 degrees.
