There were a great many performances and art shows of various kinds at Deafway II. These deaf German comics were hilarious, I crying from laughing so hard. Their whole performance was done in the universal modes of communication, and very few props. They were extremely skilled in the use of facial expression, body language and mime. It was a fantastic show!

La linguistique française
Que sais-je?
Presses universitaires de France
“Que sais-je?” (literally "What do I know?") is a series of books published by the Presses universitaires de France (PUF). The aim of the series is to provide the lay reader with an accessible introduction to a field of study written by an expert in the field. As such, they are a good example of "haute vulgarisation" (high popularization). The phrase "Que sais-je?" is taken from the works of French essayist Michel de Montaigne.
Begun in 1941 by Paul Angoulevent (1899-1976), founder of the Presses universitaires de France, the series now numbers over 3,900 titles by more than 2,500 authors, and translated in more than 43 languages. Somes titles have sold more than 300,000 copies (namely by Piaget). Each year, 50 to 60 new titles are added to the collection, which comprises ten different series. As such, it easily constitutes the world's largest running 'encyclopaedia' in paperback format. The range of subjects is truly encyclopaedic, covering everything from chanson de geste and Homer to gastronomy and free will. Not all subjects are academic--they may include current topics, such as violence in sports or personal coaching. The presentation of information is varied and may consist of an introduction to a subject, a detailed essay on a school of thought, or an analysis of current events. As of 2004, more than 160 millions copies had been sold worldwide.
“I was born hearing but became deaf at two. I was lucky; my family learnt sign language when I was seven. My partner is deaf and when we had our daughter the deaf community said that she won’t speak well if we use sign language with her. But we didn’t follow what they said, and use sign language and she is now bi-lingual in two languages, English and BSL. Signing is a language like any other.
The most frustrating thing is the perception of deaf people. When the hearing test is done early on and if they find hearing loss, it’s always ‘I’m sorry’. It’s shown as a negative straight away, and that perception is carried forward. Deaf people often get patronised. They’re told they can’t do this and that. I want to change that. We’re just people like anyone else. I want people to know about the positive aspects of being deaf - one that comes with it’s own culture and creative language.”

You get a phone call, best friend Chelsea is up for the weekend. But, you can't go over and spend time with her. Can't have all those good moments you constantly live for, you have to stay home, you have to miss out, because growing up means you have to make sacrifices. The pile of work you have to do tells you that if you go out and have fun you'll get nothing done. I end up having to stay home, even though I do spend some time working on art pieces and the day goes all as hoped for. I know I'm missing out on something. I know I'm missing out on some of those amazing conversations I always have with this wonderful red headed girl Chelsea. I wish you never had to move away. Then again, I've been so busy, it probably would have been like this all the same. The distance still kills.
You get a phone call, best friend Chelsea is taking a train home soon. Gonna walk around town and take her to get her train. I know I should stay home, I still have lots of work to do. But I already stayed home this hole weekend. I've spent all Sunday agonizing, procrastinating, and hoping some conclusion would come to me. I spend all Sunday and all Saturday night trying to avoid something and make sense of it and hurt no one, keep everyone happy. My heads going a million times a minute. It's one thing one minute, something different the next. So I tell tell you I'll be over in ten minutes, get on some clothes, and run over to your house. We walk in a rush to the train station. I didn't even know we had a train station, look at that it's just down my street. I wish I could get on that train with you. I'm smiling like crazy because I just want you to feel how much I love you. I want to radiate the energy. We give you a hug, say cya later, and you're off and on the train. It's all so fast. I wish you never had to go. I spot you in your seat on the train and run to you stand close to the train, your window. Behind me Erin is yelling at me, getting mad, telling me to move, c'mon, I'm not supposed to stand here. I don't give a fuck. I stand there and sign language that I love you, then you do the same. It breaks my heart. It's been so long since we've had a conversation, a real one. You're trains moving now. Erin's yelling behind me to get back. I stand there for a second, watch you go and then come back. You tell me that it was dangerous for me standing there, I say I don't care. My eyes start to water as were walking. I wish you never had to leave. On the way to the train station you talked about palmistry, you're studying it. My hand, you said my hand was the water hand. It means that you're extremely emotional, that you feel everything. That, well, that's right on.

The Monastery of St. Anthony the Great is located in the Valley of Kadisha or Qadisha, specifically the Valley of Qozhaya, in
Northern Lebanon. According to the Oral Tradition, St. Anthony (251-356) called "the Great", founder of the monastic life, never visited Lebanon. However, his disciples lived in the caves in Qozhaya, and their prayers and way of living filled the valley with a unique spiritual fragrance. Today the Monastery’s monks and its hermit (living in the Hermitage of Our Lady of Hawka) continue the tradition by offering their lives and prayers to God. Father Antonios Chayna, the Hermit of Saint Boula Hermitage, passed away on January 3, 2009. One of Qozhaya’s caves, named after St. Anthony, is considered miraculous for the numerous miracles witnessed onsite.
