Sign Language With Cats Video Goes Viral

VIDEO [CC] - Kim Silva teaches Deaf cat and two others in sign language has gone viral on the social media.



TECH TIMES - In the cats vs. dog debate, many pet owners believe dogs are superior because they know how to perform tricks. But never let it be said that cats can't learn a thing or two.



Take for example this one woman who taught her cats how to communicate by using sign language. Signing cats? Yep, this is probably one of the best cat videos we've seen in a while.



Kim Silva, a retired teacher from the American School for the Deaf, wanted to adopt a cat after losing her feline friend in 2009. Silva and her husband John fell in love with a white Siamese cat named Bambi on Petfinder who was Deaf.

Since the couple, who are both hard of hearing themselves, already have two cats, Silva decided to teach her pets sign language so that they all would be able to communicate with her when Bambi would arrive at her Connecticut home from a rescue shelter in Texas.



"Guess I missed the kiddies so I began teaching the kitties," Silva says.



Silva started teaching her two cats named Bobcat and Bear sign language, which resulted in opposite outcomes. Bobcat learned the language quickly, going from a cat who only communicated with other cats to becoming an extrovert who loves showing off his skills. Bear, on the other hand, was older and since you can't teach an old dog new tricks, he did not pick up the skills at all...

Eurovision Sign Language Interpreter Is A Web Hit

VIRAL VIDEO: Sweden's Eurovision finalist was chosen at the weekend but for many it was the bespectacled 48-year-old who signed the songs for Deaf people who stole the show.



Sweden's Tommy Krangh's silky dance moves quickly became a huge hit on social media with millions watching his video on Facebook and YouTube.



It takes a lot to steal the show from the notoriously flamboyant Eurovision entries, but this Swedish sign language interpreter's energetic moves and expressive gestures have managed to do just that.



Tommy Krångh has become an overnight sensation in Sweden after putting on the performance of his life, interpreting pop singer Magnus Carlsson's attempt to enter Eurovision.

But while Carlsson's upbeat tune may have failed to impress audiences in the Scandinavian country, being voted ninth out of 12 entries vying to represent at the annual competition, many are now calling for 48-year-old Krångh to take the stage for Sweden in Vienna this May.



The video of Krångh's exuberant interpretation has been shared thousands of times in Sweden, and across the world.



The delighted interpreter has told Swedish newspapers he was 'thrilled' with the reaction and has been 'love-bombed' on Twitter by people who enjoyed his energetic performance, even getting the odd marriage proposal.



'It´s been absolutely amazing,' he told MailOnline. 'I´ve been love-bombed from a thousands of people. People are even proposing to marry me. This is something I could never imagine.



'It's a once in lifetime experience after being a signer for so many years. I love that sign language gets so much attention at the moment.' ... Read more: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2997019/Swedish-TV-signer-hilarious-interpretation-country-s-Eurovision-wannabe-sweeps-web.html

Canadians React To Ottawa Shooting Racism

VIRAL VIDEO [CC] - Actor punched in face while making Nathan Cirillo-inspired anti-racism video in Hamilton, Canada.



HAMILTON, ON - It’s a sucker-punch that would have drawn a suspension if it was in a rink, but Canadians seem to have little issue with an actor in a “social experiment” being socked for his overt racism against Muslims.



In light of the killings of two Canadian soldiers, filmmaker Omar Albach wanted to make a video to see how Canadians would react to racism against Muslims. The results, although highly-edited, suggest Canada’s reputation as a welcoming, multi-cultural nation might be deserved.



“This is based on the events that happened in Ottawa,” York University student Omar Albach says at the beginning of the YouTube video called “Canadians React to Ottawa Shooting Racism.” “We’re going to see if people feel safe to be around Muslims or people who look like Muslims.”

Turn "Closed Captioned" On

In the YouTube clip, actor Zakaria Ghanem is dressed in a traditional Muslim gown and is then berated by follow actor Devin Giamou in front of the unsuspecting public in Hamilton, the hometown of slain soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.



In one instance, Giamou walks up to Ghanem, who is in line for the bus, and tells him to get another ride, suggesting he could have a bomb. Giamou is immediately rebuked by a middle-aged man in line.



“You can’t stereotype and judge people by their clothes,” the man says. “Or their nationalities or anything else, you know what I mean? What happened there was an incident of fanatics.”



In another scene, a young woman says the Ottawa shooting was “awful and tragic but I don’t think that’s any reason to persecute someone because of what they are wearing ...

Walking in NYC as a Deaf Woman

VIRAL VIDEO [CC] - Ten hours of silent walking in Manhattan to pretend as a Deaf woman.



NEW YORK CITY - The silent woman receives rape threats after recording 10 hours of harassment in New York. Actor Shoshana B Roberts recorded all the catcalls and remarks she got from passersby as she walked for 10 hours through New York.



An actor who recorded 10 hours of catcalls and remarks from passersby in New York City has received rape threats in response to a video detailing the harassment, the advocacy group that commissioned the video said on Tuesday.



In a two-minute video, actor Shoshana B Roberts was told to smile, told, “Somebody is acknowledging you for being beautiful, you should say thank you,” and comments were made about her clothes and appearance.

At one point in the video, which has been viewed nearly 10m times in fewer than 24 hours, a man walked alongside her silently for five minutes.



Another followed her, while offering to give her his number.



“The rape threats indicate that we are hitting a nerve,” Hollaback director Emily May told Newsday. “We want to do more than just hit a nerve though, we want New Yorkers to realize – once and for all – that street harassment isn’t OK, and that as a city we refuse to tolerate it.”



Hollaback!, an international group that has been fighting street harassment since 2005, said people were reporting threats to YouTube, where the video is hosted, and that the website was taking them down.



There were more than 100 instances of verbal street harassment recorded during the 10 hours. “This doesn’t include the countless winks, whistles, etc,” the video says. SOURCE

Sign Language Interpreter Goes Viral During Ebola Press Conference

VIDEO: [CC] - Sign Language interpreter goes viral during De Blasio Ebola press conference in New York City.



NEW YORK - Video of the sign language interpreter during Mayor Bill de Blasio's news conference on New York City's first Ebola case.



While Mayor Bill de Blasio and health officials were giving updates on New York City’s first Ebola case Friday, the focus turned to another person in the room, the sign language guy.



The signer, who was seated to the right of the mayor, was enthusiastically signing throughout the press conference. It appeared as if he was talking to another signer who was seated in the audience.



Some even questioned whether he was a legitimate sign language interpreter. The Twitterverse soon noticed and tweets started taking the Internet by storm.



Within minutes of his TV appearance on Friday, people across the country had taken to the social networking site to express their delight at his efforts.

Turn On "Closed Captioned"

Although some people questioned whether the interpreter was legitimate, others said he appeared to be translating the Mayor's and health officials' comments via a signer in the audience.



During the conference, de Blasio commented on Dr Spencer, who went bowling in Brooklyn, rode the subway and walked the High Line before he was admitted to Bellevue Hospital Center on Thursday.



Despite Dr Spencer's activities, he told listeners: 'I want to repeat what I said last night: There is no cause for alarm,' according to CBS New York.



'New Yorkers who have not been exposed to an infected person's bodily fluids are simply not at risk. It's crucial to emphasize, it's not an airborne disease, it's not a casual contact disease.'



It comes as Dr Spencer's fiancée, Morgan Dixon, has been allowed to leave Bellevue Hospital Center in New York to return to the couple's home in Harlem.



With a pink scarf wrapped tightly around her face, Miss Dixon was pictured stepping out of an unmarked police car and walking quickly into her apartment this evening.



The 30-year-old, who has not yet shown any signs or symptoms of Ebola, is now under mandatory quarantine for 21 days, the virus's incubation period.



Meanwhile, Dr Spencer, 33, is currently undergoing treatment and remains in a 'stable' condition in isolation at the Manhattan-based hospital, which he was admitted to with a 100.3-degree fever.



According to the latest figures from the World Health Organization, the Ebola death toll is now 4,922, bringing the total of confirmed and suspected cases of the virus to 10,141.



Symptoms of Ebola include a fever, a headache, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle and joint aches and in some cases bleeding. These appear two to 21 days after exposure to the disease, the CDC said. Source

ASL Lyrics Interpretation Video Clip Goes Viral

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Beautiful soul signing "U" by Gareth Emery to her Deaf friend at TomorrowWorld 2014 video clip goes viral.



The American Sign Language (ASL) lyrics interpretation to her Deaf friend at the festivals which was on camera and posted a video clip on the internet that went viral by attention of the media.



In most ways, Keelin Lambert and Monica Frederick’s friendship is like any other. The former college roommates regularly go to dance music festivals and concerts, even as Keelin lives in San Diego and Monica in Chicago. Keelin brought Monica to her first rave at Electric Daisy Carnival in 2013 and the two became hooked on the scene, particularly on trance. The two met in Atlanta last month for TomorrowWorld and fully immersed themselves, even camping on-site during the three-day fest.

"The most beautiful thing I saw at TomorrowWorld 2014 hands down !! This lovely soul (Keelin) is signing "U" by Gareth Emery to her Deaf friend (Monica) on the right! It gives me chills every time I watch it!! I was so inspired that I couldn't help but cry! The Instagram clip I posted of this video has already touched the hearts of so many people.. Quite unexpectedly! And I'm glad! Way to go, ladies! You deserve every bit of love being sent your way!" -Sage Sappho



While Bryan Kearney played his remix of Gareth Emery “U” during his set on the TranceAddict stage, Keelin did what she often does for Monica during festivals: She translated the lyrics for her into American Sign Language (ASL).



Another fan, Sage Sappho, saw this and shot a short video and shared it on Instagram late last week. Emery saw it, shared it, and the video went viral. “If 15 seconds could ever sum up the spirit of electronic dance music, this would be it,” Emery captioned the video. ...

Couple's Sign Language Car Singalong Goes Viral

Video of an American Sign Language interpreter, and fiancé, signing interpretations of popular songs becomes an online hit.



The car signalong video of Tina Cleveland, an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, and her fiancé, Paul Sirimarco, have a highly entertaining road trip tradition.



While most families resign themselves to playing "I Spy," "21 Questions," and, in moments of sheer desperation, "Slug Bug," Tina and Paul are having a blast "singing" along to songs in ASL.



A video of the couple signing along to "You're The One That I Want" was uploaded to YouTube Thursday and features them dancing along as the "Grease" soundtrack pipes into the background.

"Hey everyone! I am an ASL interpreter and Paul is an amazing fiancé who learns signs so we can do song interpretations together."



In a post on Facebook, Cleveland declared, "Our road trips are anything but normal."



"Being able to share music through sign language (and dance) is honestly what my little heart lives for," she added in another post. "Also, hearing people saying they want to learn ASL is sooooo awesome! Do it!!!" Source
