VIDEO: Moviegoers finally see 'The Interview' after Sony's surprise online release.



LOS ANGELES - The news came hours after Sony Pictures Entertainment released ‘The Interview’ on a number of streaming services Wednesday in the U.S and Canada. Sony’s controversially cancelled its screenings of The Interview earlier this month after the company was hacked in an attack the FBI linked to North Korea.



Late Wednesday evening, Vancouver-born Seth Rogen, one of the film’s stars, tweeted that the full-length movie can be viewed on Xmas day: "The people have spoken! Freedom has prevailed! Sony didn't give up! The Interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it on Xmas day!."



Sony says ‘The Interview’ will be available to stream for $5.99 on Google Play, YouTube Movies, Microsoft’s Xbox Video and a separate Sony website.



It’s an unprecedented release strategy for a film that’s caused much international intrigue. “It has always been Sony’s intention to have a national platform on which to release this film,” Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton said in a statement Wednesday. He goes on to say that Sony reached out to a number of streaming services last Wednesday to arrange the film’s online release.







“We never stopped pursuing as wide a release as possible for ‘The Interview,’” Lynton said. “We chose the path of digital distribution first so as to reach as many people as possible on opening day, and we continue to seek other partners and platforms to further expand its release.”



Sony Pictures recently reversed its decision to pull the film from U.S. theatres in the face of widespread criticism after it bowed to threats of terrorism. ‘The Interview’ will now be screened in about 200 U.S. theatres, down from the original 3,000-theatre release schedule.



The satirical film stars James Franco and Seth Rogen as journalists who become embroiled in a CIA plot to assassinate a fictional version of Kim Jong Un, dictator of North Korea.



Sony scrapped its plans to release ‘The Interview’ earlier this month after hackers threatened large-scale terrorist attacks against the United States if the film went public.



The same hacker group leaked a slew of sensitive Sony emails obtained in a cyberattack earlier in November. Those leaks included damning emails written by top Sony executives, early digital copies of Sony theatrical films, secret franchise plans for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and an early script for the upcoming James Bond film ‘Spectre.’



Sony reversed its decision on Tuesday after a number of independent theatres said they would screen the film regardless of consequences.



Americans are trumpeting the film’s release as a victory for free speech. Tickets reportedly sold out within hours at several independent theatres slated to screen the movie Christmas Day ... Read more http://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/the-interview-released



The Interview


In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show 'Skylark Tonight.' When they discover that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the most unlikely candidates, to 'take out' Kim Jong-un.

VIDEO: Deaf toddler can’t stop giggling when he hears his mother's voice for the first time.



Toddler Ryan Aprea, two, was born at just 25 weeks and suffers from impaired sight and hearing. He had a cochlear implant fitted into his ear in November which is allowing him to hear sounds for the first time and the youngster couldn't stop laughing every time he heard his mother Jennifer speak.



As his mom Jennifer told Storyful, baby Ryan was born three months prematurely and spent his first seven months of life in hospital. Around the time he was due to come home, he was diagnosed as being profoundly Deaf. An ideal candidate for a cochlear implant, his parents didn’t delay in taking action to increase his chances of being able to communicate with them. His giggle upon hearing his mother’s voice for the first time.





The moment when a young boy with severe hearing difficulties heard his mother's voice for the very first time has been captured in a heartwarming video clip, which shows the youngster dissolving into a fit of giggles every time she speaks.



Entrepreneur Jennifer Colson Aprea, from Huntington Beach, California, posted the clip of her two-year-old son Ryan on her company's Facebook page on Monday, revealing that her son had successfully been fitted with a cochlear implant which is enabling him to hear sounds for the first time in his life.



'We're heading home and it's all good news after the mapping and activation,' the mother-of-two, who founded cloth diaper brand Spray Pal, wrote.



'His brain is definitely receiving sound. The audiologist programmed the device at three different levels and we will gradually increase them throughout the week ... Read more: HERE

VIDEO: [ASL] - Believe it or not...



There are over 70 million Deaf people in the world. Many of them are either Deaf from birth or became Deaf before learning the spoken language.



This fact has serious implications for the education of Deaf people. To be Deaf means to not hear or comprehend speech and language through the ear.



Communication for a person who cannot hear is visual, not auditory. To deny sign language to Deaf people is tantamount to denying them their basic human rights to communication and education.







Video Description/ English Summary: The video has two points, (1) that the World Federation of the Deaf estimates that 80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all. (2) How does this make you feel? Isn't this a shocking, disgusting, and infuriating statistic? So what do you plan to do about it?



1 - "80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all." If you have your Paddy Ladd's "Understanding Deaf Culture: In Search of Deafhood" near you, grab it and flip to page 44. Alternatively, at the end of this very paragraph there's a link that will take you to the WFD article that the citation in the book is from: http://wfdeaf.org/databank/policies/policy-visions-and-goals-for-access-to-adult-education-for-deaf-people

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO [CC] - UPDATE: A man is arrested for murder 55-year-old Deaf woman in Alabama.



MOBILE, Ala. - Mobile police have arrested Myles Xavier Smith for the shooting death of a 55-year-old woman named Dawn Lee.



The crime happened outside her home in the Onderdonk housing community off Shelton Beach Road. News 5 spoke with a woman who called police minutes after the shooting happened.



Carrie Hudson says it was around 3 o'clock Wednesday morning when a neighbor woke her up. "He said Dawn been shot. He says I heard a gun shot and when I came to the door she was laying in the street," Hudson said.



Although Lee's front door is taped with a warning sign that reads "Beware of Gun," Hudson says she doesn't know why Lee was targeted. "She's a nice lady. I don't even know why she was out at three in the morning," she said.



Turn "Closed Captioned" on.


Hudson says Lee's apartment door was locked and her car was parked in its usual spot. She also says many of the residents in the housing community are hearing impaired. "We all look out for each other. Anybody that dies here dies from natural causes never anyone getting shot. This the first we heard of," she said.



Mobile police say Smith is also responsible for a shooting at ITT Tech earlier this year. Smith allegedly got into an argument with another student and shot him in the arm. That case was bound over to the Grand Jury and Smith was actually out on bond when today's shooting happened. He's now charged with murder and possession of a controlled substance. ...

This topic must be one of the most difficult for Deaf school administrators, often caught between a rock and a hard place with students, parents, their personal beliefs, traditions and concerns about student safety and performance in Cuba.



There are many ways to consider the usefulness, purpose, intent and effects of dress codes. If school communities are genuinely worried about girls and boys then they need to examine the stereotypes that permeate their own policies around the country of Cuba.

VIDEO: Hockey world mourns a legend Jean Beliveau, one of the greatest players to ever skate for the Montreal Canadiens, has died at the age of 83.



MONTREAL - Joseph Jean Arthur Béliveau was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played parts of 20 seasons with the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens.



Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Béliveau passed away at the age of 83 on Tuesday night, the team announced. He earned the nickname Le Gros Bill​.



But both on and off the ice, Béliveau was better known for his skill, sportsmanship and a gentlemanly air that very nearly made him Canada's Governor General in 1994.



At the time, his recurring heart problems and concern for his recently widowed daughter and her small children kept him from accepting the offer.



"Like millions of hockey fans who followed the life and the career of Jean Beliveau, the Canadiens today mourn the passing of a man whose contribution to the development of our sport and our society was unmeasurable," team owner Geoff Molson said in a statement posted on the Canadiens' website.







"Jean Beliveau was a great leader, a gentleman and arguably the greatest ambassador our game has ever known," Molson added.



One of the finest centres who ever played, Béliveau helped lead the Montreal Canadiens to an unprecedented five straight Stanley Cups during the 1950s and 1960s - 10 in all over a nearly 20-year career.



"I always enjoyed the playoffs," Béliveau said. "I enjoyed playing in it. Everybody, not only the players, but management, the fans, maybe the press, everybody is so much more nervous. So I enjoyed every game."​



When he retired in 1971, he joined the Canadiens' front office as an executive and goodwill ambassador. As a result, his name appears on the Stanley Cup a record 17 times, a feat unlikely to be duplicated. ... Read more at CBC Sport News

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf baby becomes first person in Britain to have her sign language name that means smiley face legally recorded on her birth certificate.





LONDON - A Deaf couple have become the first people in Britain to record their baby's name in sign language on her birth certificate.



Theatre director Paula Garfield, 47, and her partner Tomato Lichy, 39, from Wembley, north London, wanted to record Hazel's name in British Sign Language (BSL), but said they were initially told by their local Brent Register Office that it was impossible.



Now their personal name for four-year-old Hazel, a reference to her smiling face, has pride of place on her birth certificate - as UbOtDDstarL.



Hazel's sign name, like many others, is not simply the letters H-A-Z-E-L spelt out.



Instead it is a made-up combination of symbols which, when taken in context, describes her personality in a way only her parents and friends can fully understand.



Hazel's sign name is written as UbOtDDstarL, which represents a combination of hand movements.







The U represents the chin, bO means a 'baby O' made with the thumb and forefinger, tD means 'hands facing the signer', Dstar means 'the handshape opens' and L shows the shape of the hand.



Put that together and it makes a small O shape held at the chin, which then opens into an L shape.



Ms Garfield told MailOnline she had a battle of up to nine months with the Register Office. The issue was finally sorted around four years ago, but the case has had little publicity.



'My daughter's sign name is what it is because her first expression was a smile,' she said. 'There's no way to translate it perfectly into English.



'But we went to the register office and they said it was "ridiculous, you can't register a sign name, don't be silly". So we got in touch with a solicitor, who said the law allows people to have their name on a birth certificate "in their own language".' ...

VIDEO - Sex offences claim at Donaldson's school for Deaf children in Scotland.



Donaldson's schoolLINLITHGOW - Police are looking into claims sexual offences were carried out at the national school for Deaf children.



Donaldson's School in Linlithgow has been given a week to come up with a plan to deal with serious concerns about the way the school is being run.



Police are also assessing allegations. It is understood they relate to claims of serious sexual offences and how some people at the school responded to them. The school said it was unable to comment at this time.



A spokesperson said: "This is a sensitive matter and with internal investigations ongoing, we are unable to comment on the names, job titles or any other specifics of this case".







BBC Scotland understands some allegations are historical in nature.



Insufficient progress: Donaldson's is a grant-aided special school (GASS) supported by the Scottish government.



Local authorities from all over Scotland and the north of England refer pupils there and fund their placements. The notice calling for an improvement plan within a week is the first of its kind to be issued for 15 years.



A report from Education Scotland last year criticised leadership at the school - and a follow up report said insufficient progress was being made putting things right.



The school has stressed its first priority is always the safety and wellbeing of pupils and a new principal was recently appointed. Work is underway to come up with the improvement plan before the deadline. Source
VIDEO [CC] - Deaf people should be treated as equal and not discrimination.



This video to educate for hearing people which apparently to stop treating Deaf and Hard of Hearing people as second-class citizen. The business corporations or small companies often denied the job applicants which Deaf and HOH feels treated as less important than those of other people in the same society.



We don’t hire Deaf people here.”

“I’m sure you can do lots of things. But this is not the job for you.”

"The next time you come in here, bring an interpreter.”

“I think you people would rather work with people of your own kind.”



Unfortunately, when Deaf and Hard of Hearing people look for work, they may encounter employment discrimination. Prospective employers can discriminate, either openly or subtly. This discrimination happens because of either overt prejudice, or because of ignorance about deafness and hearing loss. For example, an employer may errenously think that a Deaf employee will need an interpreter all of the time.







Deaf People Can Do Anything Except Hear!



The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 ("Amendments Act" or "ADAAA"), is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities include those who have impairments that substantially limit a major life activity, have a record (or history) of a substantially limiting impairment, or are regarded as having a disability.

The last several days, some Deaf and Hard of Hearing uploaded the video about the Marriage Equality after the National Association of the Deaf shares the video "#MarriageEquality" which lead the controversy of the marriage between adults with animals or underage. Ridiculous!



Most of the United States of America population including straights and LGBT will not accept or allowed anyone taking advantage of animals or underage. They'll go to prison. The real argument is consent is required. Can animals consent to marriage? NO!



Can underage consent to marriage? Of course not! The parents of underage will not allowed it. They also talked about LGBT not be able to have children and they will be the end of their generations. Not really. It is not that LGBT don't know about it if they realized they're gay and have relationship with their lovers. They knew that when they have relationship with their lovers. They can adopt or have someone carry their babies.







Some lesbians like the straight females go to sperm bank to pick a donor and they can have babies. It's not the end of their generation .



The vloggers' arguement have flaws. It's senseless since all of them are anti-LGBT just like what some conservative Republicans talked about. It's plain stupid!

SAN DIEGO (ABC News) - A lifeguard rescued a service dog that became stuck in mud at Dog Beach in Ocean Beach Wednesday.



Just after 5 p.m., a woman told authorities that she was walking the dog which belonged to a quadriplegic veteran when the animal somehow broke free and ran away. The dog, a German wirehaired pointer named Rita, then became stuck in a muddy area of the beach.



"It was up to her neck and it was terrifying," said Joey Riley, the veteran's caregiver. She was signing to the 12-year-old dog, which is Deaf.

"As I stepped, my feet would sink down into the mud so I backed up so that I didn't get into the same situation as she did," said Riley.



It was a situation she was well aware had killed a man a year earlier, who became trapped when the tide washed in. Lucky for Rita, help arrived in the form of a lone rescuer, San Diego Lifeguard Chuck Davey.



"I was able to get the front paws onto the board and then I had to dig down into the organic matter and pull the dog up onto the board," he said. Using a surfboard, he was able to free the dog from the thick mud. Riley made her way to the animal and was able to call it over. No injuries were reported. Source

ASL VIDEO: Deaf young woman bullying victim - Not Deaf Enough ?!



Deaf blogger Janelle J White also known as Janelle Joy amazed at the responses she have gotten from her vlog on Facebook.



Janelle more amazed at the comments made by those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, who's comments are borderline bullying. She have been called many names, told to kill herself, and told that she is a disgrace to Deaf and Hard of Hearing people all because she dislike being DEAF.







It is time to stop all discrimination and how better to set a good example for the hearing world than to focus on how we treat each other. It is time to stop inner-culture discrimination. No limits starts with you Janelle Joy Hate Being Deaf Today.

Deaf Facts - Charlie Swinbourne: The 10 annoying habits of Deaf people!



Deaf journalist Charlie Swinbourne also known as The Limping Chicken, editorially of the United Kingdom’s independent Deaf News and Deaf Blogs website as well as being a journalist and an award-winning scriptwriter. Swinbourne writes for the Guardian and BBC Online, and as a scriptwriter, penned My Song, Coming Out and Four Deaf Yorkshiremen.



Swinbourne published the article ‘The 10 annoying habits of hearing people’ went viral and broke all records on this site, a number of people wrote in asking the editor when they would be doing a Deaf Version.



At first, Swinbourne dismissed these suggestions – Deaf people aren’t in any way annoying, are they?

So, without further ado, here are the 10 annoying habits of Deaf people. It’s only fair.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO [ASL] - Statistics Report - What we know about the data on college sexual assaults in the United States.



This article focuses on the hot news out there on the internet about Gallaudet University being No. 1 on the list with highest numbers of rape reports.



For Gallaudet, a college for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the answer might simply be that campus officials speak sign language. As one Gallaudet offical told Emily Shire at The Daily Beast: “Our students are more likely to go somewhere on campus and report assault than go to a hospital because they have direct access to someone who speaks American Sign Language.”



Ricky Taylor also known as Ridor9th's vlog explains about the Judicial Affairs & Honor Codes in colleges & universities, plus Gallaudet's community at large. Plus, Taylor was sexually assaulted, too in 2002. Not many people knew of that as well - only 8 or 10 knew the truth.







WASHINGTON POST - The rise in reported sexual assaults on campus may be attributable to more awareness and, importantly, better procedures. College rankings are a pernicious business particularly so if you’re looking at sexual assault statistics.



Thanks to the 1990 Clery Act, colleges are required to report data on campus crime every year, including the number of incidents (or attempted incidents) of rape or sexual battery. But it’s pretty obvious that this number depends not only on the prevalence of sexual assault on campus, but also how diligently the college handles allegations of rape. As Nick Anderson reported recently, there are pending investigations at 89 colleges over how these schools dealt with reports of sexual violence.



A quick glance at the colleges with the most per-capita reports of sexual assault shows that they tend to be small, liberal arts colleges. (We’ve averaged the data for 2011 and 2012 to get a smoother picture.) It’s possible that Gallaudet, Grinnell, and Reed are the most sexually violent campuses in the nation, but it’s more plausible that these campuses have cultivated an environment where survivors feel more comfortable speaking out ...
