Deaf Actor Cast As Superhero In DC's 'Titans'

WATCH [CC] - Deaf transgender actor Chella Man talks being cast in 'Titans' as Jericho for DC universe series.

LOS ANGELES -- DC’s “Titans” has found its Jericho. Deaf activist, artist and model Chella Man, who’s transgender, has been cast in the role, portraying the mute superhero who uses sign language to communicate with his teammates.

Man told HuffPost that Jericho has a special significance for him as a Deaf individual who regularly communicates using sign language.



“Jericho’s primary mode of communication hits close to home,” Man said via email. “I rarely saw sign language authentically represented on screen growing up, so this incredible opportunity has made my heart soar.”



“Titans” cast Man for its second season. Jericho, the superhero son of villain Deathstroke, can possess anyone he makes eye contact with.



Man’s involvement in the series is a win for representation. According to the Ruderman Family Foundation, 95 percent of characters with disabilities are depicted by able-bodied actors in television. The significance of his casting isn’t lost on him. He said it’s “imperative” to cast actors with disabilities for disabled characters.



“Individuals with disabilities have long been misrepresented and underrepresented by all industries,” he wrote. “Casting disabled actors/actresses for disabled roles will aid to authentically represent and deconstruct stereotypes built around our identities.”



Man said that he doesn’t feel any of his traits are limitations and that with his acting, he can exhibit that.



“Take it from a Deaf queer, Jewish person of color who has always dreamed of being a superhero and has now been granted that exact opportunity,” he said.

US Education Budget Cuts For Gally & NTID

Betsy DeVos' Education Department budget cuts to Special Olympics, Gallaudet University and National Technical Institute for the Deaf.

WASHINGTON -- Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday defended deep cuts to programs meant to help students and others, including eliminating $18 million to support Special Olympics, while urging Congress to spend millions more on charter schools.



"We are not doing our children any favors when we borrow from their future in order to invest in systems and policies that are not yielding better results," DeVos said in prepared testimony before a House subcommittee considering the Department of Education's budget request for the next fiscal year.



It was the first time that DeVos, a wealthy former Michigan Republican Party chairwoman and school choice advocate, had been called before a Democratic-led panel in the U.S. House to explain President Donald Trump's spending priorities.



While proposing to add $60 million more to charter school funding and create a tax credit for individual and companies that donate to scholarships for private schools, DeVos' budget proposal would still cut more than $7 billion from the Education Department, about 10 percent of its current budget. President Trump proposed a $4.7 trillion overall budget this month with an annual deficit expected to run about $1 trillion.



It calls for eliminating billions in grants to improve student achievement by reducing class sizes and funding professional development for teachers as well as cutting funds dedicated to increasing the use of technology in schools and improving school conditions. In many cases, DeVos said the purpose of the grants has been found to be redundant or ineffective.



In the case of the $17.6 million cut to help fund the Special Olympics, a program designed to help children and adults with disabilities, DeVos suggested it is better supported by philanthropy and added, "We had to make some difficult decisions with this budget."



"Do you know how many kids are going to be affected by that cut?" asked U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisconsin, while also pointing out a recent report by a nonprofit group that concluded the U.S. government has spent as much as $1 billion on charter schools that never opened or they closed because of mismanagement or other reasons.



@BetsyDeVosED is making serious cuts to special education programs Americans rely on like the Special Olympics, special education grants to states, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, & Gallaudet University.



@MarleeMatlin - Please RT. The benefits of Special Olympics, which I have seen first hand as volunteer are IMMEASURABLE. DeVos proposal to cut their funding will adversely affect thousands with developmental disabilities. Don't let this happen! I support SpecialOlympics.



DeVos has been a longtime supporter of charter schools - independently run, publicly funded schools that typically aren't as closely regulated as traditional schools - and school choice for public school students, arguing that parents should be able to put their children into the schools of their choice and that funding should follow them.



Many public school supporters have argued that government support of charter schools and private schools can undermine traditional schools, which educate most students.



U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., who is chairwoman of the subcommittee that held the hearing, called the budget proposal "cruel and reckless," saying it "will hurt the middle class and low-income families that most need our help."



"How can you support this budget? I mean that genuinely," she said. "As secretary of the Department of Education, how can you support, even boast, about taking 10 percent away from our teachers and students?"



It's unlikely that any of the major reductions, or any major proposals to boost school choice, are headed towards passage, however. Even with the Republican in the majority in the U.S. House the last two years, most of DeVos' strongest proposals for cuts or spending were turned back. Now with Democrats in the majority, they are far less likely to gain traction.

As a linguistics major, Chia Wei was already learning Sign Language before she knew that Amni was Deaf and the rest is history. This video as much as enjoyed meeting these girls and hearing their story in real life." Drew Binsky said.

Deaf Voters: Capitalism Versus Socialism

WATCH [CC] - Why do Deaf Americans prefer socialism over capitalism, they could turn the United States into another Venezuela.

Decades after Capitalism seemed to have triumphed over Socialism, politicians are once again arguing about the merits and drawbacks of these opposing economic systems. Why are we still having this debate?



Andrew Puzder, former CEO of the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr., explains the misconceptions that keep the debate alive.

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

Capitalism versus socialism. We can sum up each economic system in one line:



Capitalism is based on human greed. Socialism is based on human need.



Right?



No. You're wrong!



So wrong, it’s exactly backwards. And Andrew Puzder will prove it to you.



Been on Amazon lately? Each of the thousands of products Amazon offers represents the work of people who believe they have something you want or need. If they’re right, they prosper. If they’re wrong, they don’t.



That’s how the free market works. It encourages people to improve their lives by satisfying the needs of others. No one starts a business making a thing or providing a service for themselves. They start a business to make things or provide services for others.



Puzder speak from personal experience.



When he was the CEO of the company that owns Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurant chains, they spent millions of dollars every year trying to determine what customers wanted. If customers didn’t like something, we changed it-and fast, because if they didn’t, our competitors would (pun intended) eat them for lunch.



The consumer-that’s you-has the ultimate power. In effect, you vote with every dollar you spend.



In a socialist economy, the government has the ultimate power. It decides what you get from a limited supply it decides should exist.



Instead of millions of people making millions of decisions about what they want, a few people-government elites-decide what people should have and how much they should pay for it. Not surprisingly, they always get it wrong. Have you ever noticed that late-stage socialist failures always run out of essential items like toilet paper?



RELATED: Deaf Voters: Why Trump Won



Of course, this isn’t a problem for those who have the right connections with the right people. Those chosen few get whatever they want. But everyone else is out of luck.



Venezuela, once the richest country in South America, is the most recent example of socialism driving a prosperous country into an economic ditch. Maybe you think it’s an unfair example. I’m not sure why, but okay. We’ll ignore the fact that leftist activists celebrated it as a great socialist success right up until it wasn’t.



But what about Western European countries? Don't they have socialist economies? People seem pretty happy there. Why can’t we have what they have-free health care, free college, stronger unions?



Good question. And the answer may surprise you.



There are no socialist countries in Western Europe. Most are just as capitalist as the United States. The only difference-and it’s a big one-is that they offer more government benefits than the U.S. does.



RELATED: The Ugly Truth About The Democratic Party



We can argue about the costs of these benefits and the point at which they reduce individual initiative, thus doing more harm than good. Scandinavians have been debating those questions for years. But only a free-market capitalist economy can produce the wealth necessary to sustain all of the supposedly “free stuff” Europeans enjoy. To get the “free stuff,” after all, you have to create enough wealth to generate enough tax revenue to pay for everything the government gives away.



Without capitalism, you’re Venezuela!



Andrew Puzder.

The Pune Police on Monday resorted to lathi-charge to disperse a crowd of Deaf students who were staging a demonstration in Pune, resulting in 35 of the students getting injured in the incident. The cops also detained around 170 activists working for the Maharashtra Deaf Association but later released them.

Nearly 11,000 hearing-impaired youths from across Maharashtra had gathered outside the Social Welfare Commissionerate in Pune near the police commissioner’s office, pressing for their long-standing demands. Among other things, the students were demanding the right to quality education, prevention of fraudulent distribution of disability certificates to able-bodied individuals and provision of trained interpreters for deaf students, reports said.

The police action against the protesters, most of whom were students, was widely criticised by opposition political parties, with many slamming the BJP government for the state of affairs. Meanwhile, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered the Pune police commissioner to submit a detailed report on the matter by Tuesday morning, as per reports.



The Pune Police had said that it had decided not to proceed with the FIR process against the protesters and hence no FIR was filed. On the other hand, the cops have reportedly claimed that around 7 to 8 policemen had also suffered injuries during the protest... Read More: Times Now News.

The Indian Head Shakes Explained

WATCH: A full explanation of the Indian Nod and its varied meanings.

The Indian Head Shakes also known as Indian head wobble, Indian head bobble, or Indian head wiggle. This video is not intended to be offensive to anyone. The video is meant to showcase a religious societies and cultures in India.



What is the Indian head bobble? If you've ever been to India, or spoken with an Indian person, then you may have noticed that their heads move in various directions during conversation. More than a million people have watched a YouTube video which pokes fun at the ways people in India shake their head.

As a foreigner coming to India, it can be very confusing to understand what it means when people are bobbling their heads around.



Indian head shake refers to a common gesture found in South Asian cultures, most notably in India. The motion usually consists of a side-to-side tilting of the head in arcs along the coronal plane. A form of nonverbal communication, it may mean "Yes", "Good", "maybe", "OK" or "I understand", depending on the context.

The Indian Nod: Have you ever wondered what the Indian Head Nod (Shake) was all about? Here's the video to explain what it is all about!

Disturbing 'Momo Challenge' Hoax Spreads

WATCH [CC] - Disturbing and creepy, the ‘Momo Challenge’ isn’t a viral danger to children online, but it sure is viral.

People across the world are spreading awareness about 'Momo Challenge'.



If you’re a parent of a young child, chances are that someone on Facebook has sent you an alarming post about the “Momo challenge,” a game illustrated by a disturbing photograph of a woman, in which participants are blackmailed into completing increasingly dangerous tasks.



Maybe that post says that Momo is the latest “trend.”

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

Momo was perfectly tuned to set off alarms in the mind of any parent: There’s something online that you don’t know about, and it’s about to kill or traumatize your child. Just one problem: There’s little evidence to confirm that the Momo challenge is real. Although multiple deaths are often attributed to the challenge in warnings about it, none has been confirmed.



The panic over Momo followed a familiar pattern established by other supposedly viral “challenges” - the condom challenge and Tide pod challenge, for example that caused a lot of hand-wringing but few, if any, documented injuries.



The viral spread of this kind of story may say less about the danger these challenges pose to young people and more about the fear that the Internet inspires in parents... Read More: Washington Post.



The Momo challenge is a Hoax:

But the online culture and financial rewards that made it seem feasible are scary.



Everyone worries about their kids.



My kid is two; from the moment he was born (and probably during the few months before), each time I heard about something bad happening to a child, I went into a panicky, sickened research mode, frantically searching for confirmation that the absolute worst had happened and could happen again.



Kidnappings, Monstrous Priests, Car Crashes, Obscure Diseases, Keisuke Aisawa’s Surrealist Sculpture Mother Bird,... Wait,,, What!?

Aisawa, who works for a company that makes puppets and props for horror movies, made an especially scary sculpture of a bug-eyed bird lady monster that was displayed at a commercial art gallery in 2016; it made its way onto Instagram, then to the bowels of Reddit (which at that point was mostly bowel), to Kim Kardashian’s 129 million-follower Instagram, and today you probably know the sculpture as Momo, the horrible creature who tells teenagers to kill themselves on YouTube (originally WhatsApp)...
