The days when he would pop up, unannounced, in your bed in the morning, Burger King's King character has never actually spoken a single word, preferring to let his creepily silent visage speak for him. But now, to celebrate National <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language" target="_blank">American Sign Language</a> Day, the King is speaking up by signing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rkiwXm46S4k" width="500"></iframe></div><br /><br />And he's asking BK fans to come up with an official sign for the Whopper sandwich. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/whoppersign" target="_blank">#WhopperSign</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/burger-kings-asl-for-deaf-community.html" title="Burger King's Whopper Sign"><img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHQK0kqTuYQ6t3PCwC3EKoZe-ZvqAVRrujWJpq9K_vCh9HkOGFiW4jNr6V_MKjA6yVKnirwSqZ5CfNvkxDak3wZREYNhMXG-Ax7n51HFNt4-bWwxKj2DI5IVvXfdI0J2sEFUSoh_zr6wuI/s400/asl-whopper-burger-king.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />"The Burger King brand is built not only on including everyone, but celebrating everyone," Fernando Machado, the fast-food chain's svp of global brand management, said in a statement.

Her story is beautiful. She was born with a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss" target="_blank">hearing impairment</a>, but she has not let that control her life. Her goal was to be a dancer…she just wanted to dance!<br /><br /><br /><br />Schools and Teachers told her she would never dance because she couldn’t hear the music but…she can feel the music. We can use her as an example for when people tell us we can't do something…you can prove them wrong, if you work at it!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wEsSelxH1yw" width="500"></iframe></div><br /><br />In the 1970s, <a href="http://www.sk-ii.com/" target="_blank">SK2</a> scientists began a fervent quest to uncover a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality for every woman.<br /><br /><br /><br />Across land and sea, they sought for the answer. Despite researching a myriad of possibilities, the secret they were looking for long eluded them.<br /><br /><br /><br />It was only by happenstance that the scientists eventually found themselves in a simple sake brewery where they chanced upon the soft and youthful hands of aged sake brewers. The breath-taking sight was the inspiration of the skincare miracle they would eventually uncover – a destiny of beauty was finally within reach. <a href="http://www.640toronto.com/syn/73/68697/tross-deaf-dancer-proves-naysayers-wrong" target="_blank">Source</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Follow SK2 on Social Media:</b><br /><br />SK-II Facebook - <a href="https://zh-tw.facebook.com/TWSKII/" target="_blank">https://zh-tw.facebook.com/TWSKII</a><br /><br />Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/changedestiny" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/hashtag/changedestiny</a><br /><br />Change Destiny By SK-II - <a href="http://www.sk-ii.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sk-ii.com</a>

Music moves us all. Deaf people just experience it differently.<br /><br /><br /><br />Martin Garrix recently teamed up with 7UP to present an event unlike any other. In cooperation with Fake Love, Martin Garrix and 7UP created a concert for the Deaf that utilized a variety of tactile experiments and features to give participants the experience of feeling their music. See more at <a href="http://7up.com/music" target="_blank">http://7UP.com/music</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kvIpVSA81Bw" width="500"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.</span></div><br /><br />Attendees were treated to walls covered in speaker cones that they could feel and interact with, as well as padded flooring that vibrated throughout the body. Visuals were paired to water experiments that the music itself brought to life, creating a completely seamless and encompassing audio/visual experience. Some attendees were also fitted with Subpac-like backpack systems that conveyed bass throughout the body.<br /><br /><br /><br />Many who attended had been Deaf since birth, and this was the first kind of experience built around their needs to such an extent. The truly emotional video is available to watch now – just a warning, have some tissues ready. <a href="http://www.youredm.com/2016/03/18/martin-garrix-7up-team-concert-deaf/" target="_blank">Source</a>
