Gallaudet How Architecture Changes For The Deaf

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Curbed's feature on DeafSpace at Gallaudet University campus for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and staff.





WASHINGTON -- Vox: We live in a world made for people who hear. But what would our cities looks like if they were designed for the Deaf? DeafSpace is an emerging approach to design and architecture that is informed by the unique sensory experience of those who don't hear. In conjunction with Curbed's feature on DeafSpace, we visited Gallaudet University to see what DeafSpace looks like in action:

People who hear might not realize what role sound plays in everyday life. If you want a passerby's attention, you shout his name. If a professor needs to explain a math problem, it's not a problem to talk while writing concepts on the board.



But people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing depend on different senses to navigate everything from social interactions to academics. The concept of DeafSpace uses that experience to inform the design of environments.



Gallaudet University - a school located in Washington, DC, and the world’s only institution of higher education for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is in the process of modifying the historic university’s campus to create a more inclusive environment for the Deaf student body.



Hansel Bauman, the architect behind DeafSpace, has redesigned parts of Gallaudet's campus around five basic principles: space and proximity, sensory reach, mobility and proximity, light and color, and acoustics. DeafSpace is the project that has grown up around Bauman's work and is quickly gaining recognition both inside and outside deaf communities.



On our recent visit to the campus we sat down with Derrick Behm, a former student who now works in the Office of Campus Design and Planning. He walked us through some of the background of the DeafSpace project while also giving us a demonstration of how these concepts play out in action, which you can see in the video above.



For a more in-depth look into the history, traditions, and design elements driving DeafSpace, read Amanda Hurley's feature about DeafSpace on our sister site Curbed. SOURCE

Alexander Graham Bell - Theft Of The Century

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Alexander Graham Bell of history's most famous inventor, but shockingly his most famous invention was stolen.



WASHINGTON DC -- If you answered Alexander Graham Bell, then you, along with millions of people around the world have been misinformed. In 2002, even the US Congress succumbed to the nagging truth and “changed its mind” on the issue, according credit to the real inventor and declaring that the original telephone was in fact invented by Antonio Meucci, a penniless Italian who did not speak a word of English and could not afford to patent his discovery.



Alexander Graham Bell? He was just a successful patent applicant and some would say, THIEF.



According to the US Congress, Bell was a cunning opportunist who took all the credit for a more brilliant scientist’s work. The House of Representatives voted to recognise mechanical genius Antonio Meucci as the father of modern communications, following a protracted battle by historians and Italian Americans.



From Monopoly to the lightbulb, AllTime10s brings you 10 famous inventions stolen from other people.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


The real invented of the telephone, Meucci, born April 13, 1808, had been working in Cuba in the 1830s, developing methods for treating illnesses using electric shocks, when he discovered the ability of sound to travel through electrical impulses. He later moved to Staten Island to follow up on his discovery. In 1860 which was 16 years before Bell claimed to have invented the telephone Meucci demonstrated his teletrofono in New York, but could not afford the $250 required to register a patent.



Bell, who took an interest in Meucci’s invention, convinced him to share his research material. They shared a lab together and Bell had full access to Meucci’s materials. Bell made good and clever use of Meucci before coming up with his own “invention” and applying for a patent in his own name. Meucci duly protested, but lacking connections, was unable to convince anyone that Alexander Graham Bell had stolen his ideas. Under general patent laws, then and today, Bell should have credited Meucci and agreed to share royalties with him.



Beset with debt, Meucci could not afford the $10 fee for maintaining the patent caveat and temporarily gave up pursuit of Bell in 1874. Two years later, Bell, uncontested by Meucci, was granted ownership of the patent. Interestingly, another contender, Elisha Gray, had also submitted a patent for the telephone some hours before Bell, but due to a technicality, Bell was the registrant whose application won.



Meucci finally decided to sue Bell, charging him with fraud in the Supreme Court. The case looked rather promising for Meucci, but unfortunately, before any proceedings could begin, Meucci died on October 18, 1889.



In 2001, the United States Congress took the extraordinary decision of doing justice to Meucci, passing a resolution officially according recognition to Meucci as the real inventor of the telephone, stating that “if Meucci had been able to pay the caveat after 1874, no patent could have been issued to Bell.” The US Congress further stated that given all the facts of the patent disputes between Gray and Bell, under no terms should Alexander Graham Bell have been awarded the patent for the telephone by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 1876. Alexander Graham Bell was posthumously stripped of his dubious honor as the inventor of the telephone.



“Justice” was finally served - well, sort of.



In effect, the Congressional resolution served only as a declaration and did not technically annul or modify the patent which Bell received in 1876. The resolution was also subsequently followed by another legislative declaration upholding Bell’s priority and his status as the inventor (patent holder) of the telephone.



Credit where credit is due:



Both Antonio Meucci and Elisha Gray should be credited with successfully inventing telephones in the United States before Alexander Graham Bell did so in 1876. Others who performed pioneering experimental work with electrical voice transmissions over wires included Thomas Edison, Innocenzo Manzetti, Charles Bourseul and Johann Philipp Reis. The telephone as we know it today, is largely based on improvements made by Thomas Edison on the original design which was not Bell’s but Meucci’s. Source.



All Lies: The history of Alexander Graham Bell was a professor of elocution at Boston University and tutor of Deaf children while pursuing his own research into a method of telegraphy that could transmit multiple messages over a single wire simultaneously, a so-called "acoustic telegraph". Bell formed a partnership with two of his students' parents to help fund his research in exchange for shares of any future profits by which does still exists these today for instance, cochlear implant, hearing aid and oral that exploitation from Deaf and Hard of Hearing children to adult that suffering from audism and oppression by the Alexander Graham Bell Association is a "Thief" from the Deaf community's souls (Culture).



Former Deaf and Hard of Hearing students are victims by Alexander Graham Bell Association.

This MADNESS must be stopped!

National Geographic - What It’s Like To Read Lips

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: National Geographic - "What It’s Like To Read Lips" This eye-opening video beautifully depicts what it’s like to be Deaf.





Have you ever tried to hear what a person was saying based on the way they move their lips?



It’s a well-know that many of those who are Deaf converse through lip-reading. But have you ever stopped and thought about just how hard that can be?



In a video produced by Little Moving Pictures, one woman, Rachel Kolb, perfectly articulates what it feels like to experience a world that you can’t physically hear.



The video shows a range of people speaking about every day experiences. Each story is subtitled. But as their stories continue, the subtitles begin to blur until they completely vanish and the audio fuses out until the video is completely silent – with only lips moving on the screen.



The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.



But as people talk faster, the lips become pretty much impossible to read – seriously giving us an in-depth look into what those without the ability to hear have to focus on every day.



Rachel also highlights the fact that speech is not just movements of the lips and sound. It is accents, it is people’s mumbles, the way some may cover their mouths when they talk – the list is endless. All things that many of us unknowingly take for granted.



Rachel describes lip-reading as ‘putting together a puzzle without all the pieces’.



She said: ‘There have been times when I’ve questioned why I even try to lip read.



‘To wade through this swamp, when I could just use sign language.’



She compares the use of sign language to being in a different world – a world filled with ‘rich expression and culture.’



But for Rachel, when lip-reading works, she feels something that she thinks sign-language cannot offer her all of the time. ‘When I focus on one legible face, and launch into a conversation, something clicks.



‘Right then, I feel something extraordinary. Human connection.’ Source

Deaf Man Receives Note From Starbucks Barista

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Starbucks employee's kind act for Deaf patrons goes viral on social media in the United States.





LEESBURG, VA -- ABC News: A Virginia man's Facebook post is creating some internet buzz after he shared a note from a Starbucks employee who offered a kind gesture.



Ibby Piracha, who is Deaf, told ABC News through an interpreter that he was surprised Friday morning to be greeted by the familiar barista with sign language.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.




"I usually use my phone and I'll text them what I want to order," Piracha of Leesburg, Virginia, said. "She was saying she looked on YouTube because she had a lot of customers that came in using text. I was very surprised she was willing to learn sign language and it shows she respects Deaf people ... she's an inspiration."



Piracha, 23, said the female barista handed him a note that read, "I've been learning ASL just so you can have the same experience as everyone else."



Piracha posted a picture of the kind words to Facebook, where it received over 2,000 “shares.”



"I was very shocked to go in there one day and have her sign a little bit and I kind of smiled, thinking about it and I even told the Starbucks manager, 'You know, I was very impressed by your employee."



The manager at the Starbucks where Piracha received the note told ABC News that while he could not comment on this particular incident or name the employee, he confirmed Piracha's account.



“We are proud that our store partner employee is taking this initiative to learn American Sign Language to better assist and serve her customers,” a Starbucks spokeswoman told ABC News. “We always love to hear stories of meaningful connections between our partners and customers.”



Piracha said he hopes his Facebook post gets the message across that "the hearing world and the Deaf World are trying to communicate."



"I definitely want people to understand that Deaf customers can have a really great review," he added. Source

Police Uses Sign Language Saved Deaf Teen Life

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Raleigh police officer uses sign language to talk Deaf ratchet teen off bridge in North Carolina, Mom says:





RALEIGH, NC -- WNCN-TV: A Raleigh police officer used sign language to talk a Deaf 16-year-old off the Rock Quarry Road bridge over I-40 on Tuesday, according to the officer’s father and witnesses at the scene.



The mother of a Deaf teen says a Raleigh police officer saved her daughter’s life after he used sign language to help talk her off a bridge.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


Maria Daley says she was “terrified and didn’t know what to do” as her daughter was standing on a bridge over Interstate 40 Tuesday afternoon.



She says she’s grateful for the officer who used sign language to communicate with her 16-year-old daughter until she came down off the bridge.



“If the officer had not been there, she probably would have jumped,” said Daley to WNCN. “Normally when the police are called, none of the officers know sign language. I’m very excited someone was out there to communicate with her.”



Raleigh police blocked all lanes near Rock Quarry Road starting around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. The girl came off the bridge around 4:45 p.m. She was unharmed, police said, and was being evaluated at a local crisis center.



Daley says her daughter “got upset and said she was going to hurt herself” after Daley took away her phone. Daley later found a note left for her saying she was going to the bridge.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


Daley says she was trying to protect her daughter by taking the phone away after she caught the teen using anonymous messaging apps on her phone, such as Kik. The popular messaging app has been linked to a growing number of child sexual abuse cases.



The officer has declined to be identified and the Raleigh Police Department says they have no American Sign Language training program. The officer learned how to sign on his own, police say.



One of the North Carolina Department of Transportation cameras picked up the officer making gestures to the girl. Witnesses tell WNCN they saw the officer communicate with the girl by sign language for about 30 minutes.



“It’s good that he knew sign language, I feel like more people need to learn it,” said witness Sean Day. “It shows that he had a lot of patience and he didn’t let whatever he had on his mind interfere with what was going on.”



Daley hopes the powerful moment will encourage more people to learn sign language, leading to more shared connections and maybe saved lives. Source

"We thought about all the Deaf students who are isolated, and we thought, 'Why not get them all together, and we could have instructors who are Deaf, so they could have direct communication?'"Roach said.



For the participants, communication makes all the difference.



"Well, Will was teaching me, and it's really nice to talk to other Deaf people here. That's really the best part," said one of the campers.



Officer coordinator and instructor Cara Frank knows how important this camp is first0hand. She was born Deaf.



"It really has a special place in my heart," she said. "Just having another role model that you can relate to growing up, it's really key. And that's what this camp is about."



Everyone we talked to said they will absolutely be back next year.

Deaf Man Murdered By Ratchet Caretaker In Texas

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News - Texas ratchet woman fatally shoots Deaf man who knocked on her door and leaves note on his body saying "sorry."



SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Raw Story: Texas woman shot and killed a Deaf man who apparently frightened her by knocking at the door and she left an index card next to his body with the word “sorry” written on it.



Michelle Chase called police about 10 a.m. Sunday to report the shooting, and officers found the man’s body along with the cryptic note outside her apartment door.



The 49-year-old Chase initially denied killing 50-year-old William Farr, who police said showed no obvious signs of trauma or foul play.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


An autopsy on Monday revealed Farr had been shot in the chest with a small-caliber bullet.



Chase admitted to police that she shot Farr, who was Deaf and communicated with a computer tablet, on Saturday night because he scared her by knocking on her door.



“He was a nice little guy,” said neighbor Florida Paul. “I didn’t know him that well. He couldn’t hear so he really couldn’t talk he just made noises, strange noises.”



The neighbor said Farr did not live at the apartment complex but frequently visited a woman who did.



Paul said the man had showed up at her own door a couple of weeks ago with multiple stab wounds to his forehead, but she refused to open the door and instead called 911.



“All I saw was like 10 holes in his forehead and blood gushing out, you could barely see his face,” the neighbor said. “But I wouldn’t open my door, because I didn’t know if whoever did that was behind him, and I’m on oxygen, I can’t fight.”



Police did not offer any details about that previous incident or say whether it was connected to Farr’s shooting death.



Chase told police she stayed with a family friend after the shooting and went to a store the next morning, before returning home to pick up clothes for church.



She told police that she called 911 after seeing Farr’s body on the sidewalk outside her door. The video report posted online by WOAI-TV. Source

New Classroom Technology Helps Deaf Students

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: RIT on TV - New classroom technology helps Deaf and Hard of Hearing RIT students.





ROCHESTER, NY -- WHEC-TV: New technology is being used at Rochester Institute of Technology to help students learn and communicate in and out of the classroom.



The new technologies include voice recognition apps, video remote-interpreting and captioning services, just to name a few. This is technology that students say is changing the way they're communicating both in an out of class.



To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.


The ability to fully hear is something some of these RIT students do not have, but the ability to communicate is something they do, and it just got a whole lot easier.



“The world is becoming more accessible to Deaf people,” says Rico Petersen, Assistant Dean and Director of the Department of Access Services. “Typically they might not know sign language, or they might prefer English instead of sign language, so we have a provider that is trained in specialized software. They go into class and type live what is being said.”



It starts with captioning services for entire classrooms - lectures scrolling on a screen in front of the students in real time. The technology can even be brought out of the classrooms and into the lives of the students at home, or with friends thanks to the Ava app, making group face-to-face conversations that much easier. People looking to download the AVA app can email Hello@ava.me and ask how to sign up or get more info.



Even for those one-on-one studying sessions, new video remote interpreting, or VRIS used.



“It's much easier and more clear using your expression and so forth rather than writing back and forth,” says Bryan ward, RIT gradute.



With 130 interpreters on staff and more than 4,000 hours of interpreting done a week at RIT, this new technology is needed. “It really is having an impact on the Deaf world because it makes access easier to come by,” says Peterson.



The entire Deaf community has access to this new technology. Professors say there are still some situations where interpreters work best, but the new technology is simply a way to make every-day actions easier. Source

CBC - The Current Launches Pilot Project For Deaf

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Transcripts, sign language radio docs aim to help Deaf audiences 'be part of a larger conversation'





TORONTO -- CBC Radio and current affairs show The Current are starting a pilot project to help improve the accessibility of public radio for an estimated 1.3 million Canadians who are Deaf or Hearing Impaired.



Beginning Monday, CBC will post text transcripts of the show - Canada's No. 1 radio interview program - online daily for audiences to read, print and share.



A wide variety of listeners, from post-secondary students and professors to new citizens learning English to engaged listeners, regularly contact The Current to request program transcripts.



The public broadcaster also pledges to film one American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted radio documentary from the The Current and post it online each month.

The project is possible through the help of a grant from the Broadcasting Accessibility Fund.



"This is a first for CBC Radio and unique in Canadian media," Heather Conway, CBC's executive vice president of English Services, said in a statement.



"By forging a deeper connection between traditional radio and the digital sphere, CBC is leading the way in providing all Canadians with unprecedented ways to access vital, distinctly Canadian radio conversations." Read The Full Story
