While every day we enjoy playing or surfing with our smartphones and tablets such as Iphone, Ipad and Ipod and as well some of Android smartphones and tablets to watch some movies, to read some books, surf the internet or to play games and we love using them. Most of people now owns these devices and use them daily but Navy in United States soldiers are not allowed to have tablets or such on their fleet in submarine due to their restrictions and we know when they are out on the submarine somewhere in the middle of ocean, they don’t have much entertainment that we do except some of them have DVD player that all of soldiers watch some movies on the fleet and DVD is starting to get old and so is paperback for reading and same goes with CD because almost everyone is turning to digital especially myself and everyone that I know except very few people who I know prefer old fashion things and I do too but only few things that’s old fashion such as VHS and cassette which I am almost sure that a lot of people doesn’t even know what they are especially the young people. Soldiers love to read some books, while due to restrictions they are not allowed to have devices to…

The first and well-known university for deaf and hard of hearing Gallaudet University marks 150 years and is celebrating for it ever since the day the 16th president for United States of America signed a bill titled 13th amendment to the constitution on April 8th, 1864 that the senate approved of to end the slavery and had the moment to sign a bill of interest to senate committee on the district of Columbia and educators in the nation’s capital. Which that authorized Columbia institution for the deaf and dumb and the blind to award degrees in the liberal arts and sciences. This is one of the reason I am very proud America that resided in United States of America for more than twenty-seven (27) years and that the bill is very important to deaf and hard of hearing especially giving them the same rights that hearing (people who can hear) have in United States of America. That same bill that happens to be America with Disabilities Act (ADA) that’s being used today that every deaf and hard of hearing use as their right. If it weren’t for Lincoln Abraham then it’s very possible that we may not have the bill that deaf and hard of hearing rely on for our rights today which is ADA, that is our rights to…
I would like to make a quick article on here to say that I pray for every one of you who has been stabbed have speedy recovery and get better. This morning I was reading some news and came across an article on CNN about a suspect stabbing other students with knives, it’s unbelievable what some of the people are becoming today especially ever since Sandy’s Hook school shooting. Starting from Sandy’s Hook school it has increase in violence in schools all over in America which is quite saddening and I do hope that this problem to be solved soon as possible especially if installing some kind of devices and hiring securities to make sure everyone’s safety when attending to their school. The news article that I was reading about Pennsylvania school stabbing can be found here: After Pennsylvania School Stabbing, authorities and community ask: Why? Now onto a different subject but still about the increasing violence and crimes in school. Ever since Sandy’s hook elm school shooting, it has increased in killings or attempted murders in different schools and as well army bases with a weapons but remember that the weapons isn’t what kill or injury them it’s the people that kills or injury other people and a lot of people don’t understand that owning some weapons can save…
I am a bit of late on this news about politics but again I don’t usually write a lot about politics because I am not into politics, only I am into if something that’s important for everyone to know or something important that I knew it could affect anyone’s life or business. In this case, a bit of business. I was reading an article on Google news for my morning news as usual to see if anything good going on or if something that I should know and I am technology news fan so at the most of the times I only read news about technology and very rarely politics news. The other day, two days ago I decided to read the politics news out of boredom and something had gotten my attention. The news from Google titled “Google claims 84% of online news are hacked by governments”, something like that title would catch my attention and of course it has caught my attention obviously, considering that I am a blogger and a bit of journal and have some friends who own known blogger websites. Government has targeted major online news such as CNN, MSNBC (I think that’s what it called?), Fox and few others and they said that they are also targeting bloggers and will go after smaller bloggers…
I stumbled upon a article that wrote by Fox News that upsets me more than anything. The title of the article says “Feds try to eliminate housing for the deaf”. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) who granted to pay 2.6 million in funds to build a complex named Apache ASL Trails that has 75 units for deaf and hard of hearing to live in back in 2005 but now they changed their mind and are wanting to force the deaf and hard of hearing residents to move out and be homeless. Apache ASL Trails is located in Arizona, the senate of R-Ariz are fighting to put a stop in HUD to force the deaf and hard of hearing residents to move out and make them homeless, but HUD are quite powerful especially their lawyers and are willing to be inhumanity because all they care about is for themselves and not anyone who residents in Arizona especially the deaf and hard of hearing. Over five hundred thousands of dollars from state taxpayers and the apartment’s developer has put in to fight HUD, and National Association for the deaf (NAD) has jumped in the action to fight HUD and bought in more lawyers, several people are fighting against HUD to try to put a stop for them from forcing about…
There is deaf news where they give the news all around in the world for only deaf and hard of hearing to watch the video about the news they have up to date or read the update news they have. Today one of the news on deaf news has the title that stated “Congressman hires deaf interns” and that caught my attention because my belief is that all deaf or hard of hearing are equal to hearing people but sadly, often they are not recognized as much as the hearing people are in America especially when it come to important things such as career, politics and among others. That is what makes me ill is that often a lot of people who think that deaf or hard of hearing people cannot do what the hearing people can do, that has been a heated debate going on for several decades. Same way as men vs women for driving, comparing their skills and such. Same concept as deaf/hard of hearing vs hearing which is quite unfair as it should be equally because only difference between deaf and hard of hearing vs hearing is that deaf and hard of hearing cannot hear, that is it as it does not change how their brain works because they do have same brain as the hearing…
I have come across a video on YouTube that are quite interesting about the deaf holocaust in Germany along with Nazis in world war two (WWII) and decided that I should embed a video in this post so that every one of you can watch the history about the deaf holocaust and the nazi in Germany at the dark time, it has subtitle/closed captions for every one of you to get the idea what the narrator are saying in the video and as well for deaf or hard of hearing people to understand what the narrator are saying in sign language who signs in Germany Sign Language (GSL) which is quite interesting, it is quite long video so be sure to grab some popcorn and a cup of coffee or soda and pull the chair in and sit and play the video to watch or if you have device or TV that has internet app on TV, then press watch later button and then go to YouTube app on your device on the TV then you will be able to watch from there instead of watching it on the computer. Hope you enjoy the video and if you are interested in to get know more about it then do some search and you will get numerous researches to learn about…
