Apple brings Everyone Can Code to schools serving blind and deaf students nationwide
This is something or one of the many things I love about Apple, how they team up with leading educators for blind and deaf communities to bring accessible coding to their schools. Personally, having moderate to severe hearing loss, from birth and living with bilateral digital hearing aids (which I love by the way), I know that this is so important!

Apple’s WWDC 2018 Kicks Off Today – What To Expect…
Today, at 10 am pacific Time, UK 6 pm, we’ll be tuned in to find out what Apple has up their sleeves and we can’t wait!

Mobile Photography – Xiaomi Mi 8: Challenging the Best – SmartPhone Review – DxOMark with Kevin Carter
Some of you may know, many of you do not know, my husband Kevin Carter is a photographic technical expert and journalist. He works at high level imparting his knowledge, never compromising his journalistic objectivity, it’s one of the many things we share (Sociologist Michael Schudson suggests that “the belief in objectivity is a faith in ‘facts,’ a distrust in ‘values,’ and a commitment to their segregation”). As well as that, he’s an editor for DxOMark and he’s just completed his latest report which includes an in-depth analysis of the Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone camera. Its resulted in an overall score of 99 points, the Mi 8 offers some improvements…
