Congratulations to:

Patrick Gilbert, Diane Campbell-Mitchell, Lauro Esquilona III, Karen Frantz-Fry, Patsy Ray, Katrina Snider, Saisha Khanna, Cindi Maurice, Cynthia Turcotte, Tracey Christilles, and Wendy Schilling who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:

?Gallaudet University, the Washington, D.C. institution for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, is looking for new and innovative ways to teach American Sign Language. While online video conferencing tools are helpful to reach remote learners, the technology has limitations for ASL users. To address this, researchers at Gallaudet are exploring the potential use of what type of technology in ASL instruction to beam life-size ASL instructors into classrooms from anywhere in the world?

Answer: HOLOGRAMS

This week's trivia question: 

The first person with a double above-the-knee amputation to climb this mountain recently returned pledging to dedicate the rest of his life to helping people with disabilities. Hari Budha Magar, a former Gurkha soldier who lives in Britain, reached the peak of this mountain stating, “My main aim for the rest of my lifetime is going to be working to bring awareness about disability”. As a soldier in a Gurkha regiment in the British army, Magar lost both his legs in Afghanistan when he accidently stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2010. What mountain did Hari Budha reach the peak of as the first person with a double above-the-knee amputation?
