UK Hotels Not Ready
A survey of more than 200 London hotels shows at least 10% do not have procedures or equipment to help deaf guests in case of an emergency. Only 13% have flashing alarms, according to Action on Hearing. One receptionist claimed the hotel said the facility didn't have responsibility to do anything different for deaf guests than it does for other guests. The UK's Equality Act of 2010 requires businesses to make "reasonable adjustments" in order to ensure that hotels are accessible to everyone. Find out more about the survey and what can be done to secure hotels here.

CrimePush
Gallaudet officials are hoping a new app will make it easier for students to report crime without having to verbally communicate. The free app, created by a Washington, DC developer, allows you to easily gather evidence for the police. Because CrimePush uses Internet service through a wifi connection instead of cell phone service, it should work in metro stations as well as on the street. It can be set to alert local police or other officials, such as university public safety officers. You can download CrimePush here. Here's a video report about it from WUSA-TV (no captioning).

Ways to Practice Your Signing Skills
Although you may feel that you are making some progress, sometimes it is easy to get rusty or run out of ideas for how you can improve your signing skills. Rather than repetitive activities, why not try something new and have fun at the same time?
The more straightforward ways would be to watch ASL videos online or practice your ASL skills with a friend. For those that would like to try something that involves more risk-taking, consider attending deaf social events or become a tutor to someone just learning how to sign. This way you not only improve your skills, but have the bonus of interacting with others in the community and making important connections as well.
One of the best and most entertaining ways to improve your signing ability is to try your hand at signing songs. Many of us are surrounded by music in our daily life, perhaps the next time you hear a song you might challenge yourself to sign it on the spot. Please do not try this method while driving though J. Good luck and enjoy finding other new and interesting ways to test your skills.
