Manitoba Swimmer At Deaflympics

VIDEO [CC] - Manitoba's swimmer at Deaflympics. Thomas Osborn, The Kelvin High School student will represent Canada at the 2013 Deaflympics July 26-Aug. 4 in Sofia, Bulgaria.



WINNIPEG - Thomas Osborn lives in three worlds. Deaf, hearing and underwater. It's in the water world he is reaching heights never imagined by him or his family when his hearing, on a continuous decline since birth, completely disappeared at age 10.



The Kelvin High School student will represent Canada at the 2013 Deaflympics July 26-Aug. 4 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He's one of just six swimmers on Team Canada for the international multi-sport games, which is sanctioned by the International Committeee of Sports of the Deaf. (Deaf athletes are not eligible for the Paralympics so this is their Olympics.)



"There's a running joke with athletes who swim is that the pool is a second home," said Thomas, a member of the Manitoba Marlins Swim Club. "Our group spends over 25 hours (per week) training. Swimming has given me a lot of achievements, I'm proud of that, and I am hoping to achieve even more."



The youngest child and only son of Carolynn and DeWayne Osborn, Thomas will compete in five events at the Deaflympics the 400-, 200-, 100- and 50-metre freestyle events and the 200-m individual medley.

"It's amazing to me, for him to get to the level he is at in swimming, given what he's had to overcome," DeWayne said.



"We're very proud of all the things he's accomplished," Carolynn said. "You don't always get what you want in life. You play the hand you were dealt. So that's the hand we've been dealt, that's the hand he's been dealt, and I think he's played it remarkably well."



A friendly, polite, confident young man, with an easy smile, Thomas turned 17 on Sunday, the day he left for Bulgaria. Read more at http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/water-world-216880051.html

Deaf Granny Hears Granddaughter For The First Time

VIDEO: Deaf granny hears granddaughter laugh for the first time after cochlear implant is turned on. The "Today" show cameras catch the moment Sarah Campbell, 57, first hears her granddaughter's giggle.



The Pennsylvania woman has had hearing problems since childhood, and went completely deaf around five years ago. This is the tender moment a granny heard her baby granddaughter laugh for the very first time after doctors turned on her cochlear implant. Sarah Campbell, 57, had suffered hearing problems since childhood and went completely deaf around five years ago.



But, as the “Today” show cameras rolled on Tuesday morning, the nation watched as she heard the her tiny 1-year-old relative giggle with excitement. "I'm hearing her! Woo! Baby! She was laughing, I think," she told audiologist Michelle Montes as host Matt Lauer stood by.



The Norristown, Pennsylvania, native struggled to work and interact with people and constantly needed new and updated hearing aids.

Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania inserted the implant a receiver and stimulator placed on her inner ear bones to act as a microphone three weeks ago. Read more at http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/deaf-granny-hears-granddaughter-time-article-1.1407507#ixzz2a0ClynBf

British Columbia's Bree Sproule off to Deaf Olympics with Team Canada.



OYAMA - For most of her young life, volleyball player Bree Sproule has been a rarity in the small community of Oyama, British Columbia.



She's the only deaf person in Oyama, the northern-most point of Lake Country. She was the only deaf player on her school and club volleyball teams and the only deaf kid of six siblings, born and raised in Oyama.



But over the past year Sproule, 19, has been hanging with people much like her. She has completed her first year at Gaulladet University in Washington, DC, the world's only university specifically for Deaf people where she was a member of the women's volleyball team.



And last week she departed with 10 other Deaf volleyball players as part of Team Canada that will take part in the 22nd Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria. Close to 4,000 Deaf people from 84 countries will be competing.



"It's really exciting, I've never been to Europe before," said Sproule through her interpreter, her sister Brooke. "It's going to be a new experience for me. I'm really excited to see the different culture and to learn about the history. It's going to be really fun to be with the team because we are all going to be together and there is going to be a lot of Deaf people there."

Deaf Woman Survivor Southwest Airlines Crashed

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf Southwest Airlines passenger recounts ordeal. Southwest flight reveals terror on the tarmac as nose landing gear suddenly collapses and plane with 150 people comes to a fiery skidding halt.



NEW YORK - Boeing 737-700 was bound for New York from Nashville, Tennessee. Southwest Airlines Flight 345 carried 144 passengers and six crew members - New Yorker Aidan Mack, who is deaf - one of the passengers. NTSB looking into cause of Southwest landing gear collapse.



Aidan Mack captured a similarly terrifying scene from her seat aboard the plane, filled with 144 passengers and six crews members. Her video shows some passengers beginning to panic after they were shaken by the hard jolt with no warning.



Ms Mack's story is even more incredible because she is deaf. She struggled to understand what was happening and fought panic - because she was unable to hear any of the announcements in the cabin.

'For me, it was just frantically trying to figure out the situation by watching the body language and the expressions of my fellow passengers, but I was really quite unique in that situation and all alone,' she told the TV station through sign language.



Ms Mack's video footage shows some panicked passengers stand and scream after the crash-landing. Most, though, remained calm. Read more at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2374338/Southwest-Flight-345-Boeing-737-crash-lands-LaGuardia-nose-landing-gear-collapses.html

How German Sounds Compared To Other Languages

VIDEO [CC] - Experience how awfully harsh German sounds in comparison to other (more beautiful?!) languages!



The humorous video goes viral on YouTube. Ever notice how Germans sounds so severe? The German language is very intense, full of harsh vowels and long, hard-sounding words. Now that doesn't make it bad, per se, just different than say English, Spanish, French or Italian. Non-German speakers often describe it as “harsh,” “angry” and “guttural.”



This reputation is used to hilariously good effect in the videos below, which translate the same word into multiple languages, ending with German. P.S. All 'actors' are native speakers. Check it out new video "How To Speak German Lessons."To see just how different, watch and learn from the humorously-educational.
