Deaf Man with Frozen Deer He Rescued from Lake
// Neatorama
Vimeo user cj uploaded a video from a deaf family friend who encountered a young deer that had fallen into a frozen lake. After pulling the deer out, he pulled out a camera to tell the story -while the deer stood by!
Redditor ceejface (cj) provided a translation of the sign language.
I was driving along when I see this deer struggling to survive. I felt obligated to help her, so I pulled over, trekked through the woods, and crawled out onto the ice. I used a rope to pull her out. I am so glad she is safe. Now we need to find her mom.
[pets deer] I will call her Miss Ice River. She must be so cold. I am so happy that she survived. Farewell.
That was followed by a discussion on the difference between one-handed and two-handed sign language, as the guy had to use one hand to hold the camera. -via Uproxx

Astronaut dials the wrong number from space, surprises Earthling [feedly]

Astronaut dials the wrong number from space, surprises Earthling
// The Verge
Picture this: it's Christmas Eve, and for some reason you weren't able to reunite with your family. Maybe you had to work, maybe your flight was canceled. You've been waiting for them to call you so you can talk to them all on speaker phone, so when the phone rings you rush to answer it. Giddy with anticipation, you expect to hear a Christmas cacophony — but instead you hear the voice of a lone man. He asks, "Hello, is this planet Earth?"
Great, a prank call. Who even makes those anymore? What's next, a question about Prince Albert?
Hi, can I please speak to I.P. Freely?
But when your disappointment wears off, it's replaced with surprise — the man calling you is Tim Peake, one of the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, and he just made a simple mistake on a cosmic scale.
Last night, this actually happened — Peake calling the wrong number, that is. While random citizens contacting the station via radio isn't necessarily new, a misplaced call coming from the other side is a bit more rare.
And yet, this wasn't even Peake's first phone mishap on the station, even though he's only been there less than a month. Earlier this week he attempted to call his parents in the UK, but they had left the house during his downtime. Peake had to leave a voicemail:

Watchdog names Clinton most corrupt politician of 2015 [feedly]

Watchdog names Clinton most corrupt politician of 2015
// Personal Liberty Digest™
As corrupt public officials go, Hillary Clinton is in a league of her own. That's according to a Washington ethics watchdog that just named the Democratic presidential front-runner as the top ethics violator of 2015.
The nonpartisan Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) placed Clinton at the top of its worst ethics violators of 2015 list after finding "overwhelming evidence" she abused her official position as secretary of state.
FACT is calling for various federal investigations into Clinton's unethical behavior, much of which has been uncovered by the ongoing scandal surrounding her State Department emails.
"Those emails remained hidden from the public until earlier this year when it was discovered that Secretary Clinton conducted government business on her private email server and a judge ultimately ordered that she turn over and the State Department release the emails," FACT noted in a statement.
FACT believes that some of those recently released communications raise questions about whether Clinton gave special State Department access to a private mining company with ties to her son-in-law,
The watchdog says Clinton has displayed similarly corrupt behavior on the campaign trail.
The group has asked the IRS to investigate whether Clinton violated State Department rules when her family foundation made payments of nearly $350,000 to her failed 2008 campaign to rent Clinton's email list after she failed to secure the Democratic nomination. At the time of the transactions, Clinton's State Department position prohibited her from doing certain types of fundraising on behalf of the campaign.
FACT is also requesting the Federal Elections Commission investigate the current Clinton campaign after it received an email list of 4 million potential supporters from a pro-Hillary super PAC. The list, according to FACT, constitutes an in-kind donation, which federal election laws prohibit candidates from accepting directly from PACs.
Clinton's political corruption could also ensnare top Senate Democrats if FACT is successful in getting the Senate Select Committee to launch an additional investigation into whether Clinton campaign aides conducted political business in official Senate offices where campaign activities are prohibited.
"Elected officials are sent to Washington to follow and uphold the law and so they need to be held to the highest standard of ethics. Even the appearance of impropriety can quickly erode public trust, and Mrs. Clinton is in a league of her own," said Matthew Whitaker, FACT's executive director, in a statement.
While Clinton is by far FACT's most corrupt official of 2015, seven other politicians also made the list for activities that violated the public trust in the past year. They include: Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.); Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.); Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.); failed Senate candidate Joe Sestak, a Pennsylvania Democrat; Rep. Frank Guinta (R-N.H.); Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.); and Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.).
