The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) of Michigan will again take to the streets of Lansing on Thursday, May 20, to protest what it feels is an atmosphere of cover-up, secrecy, and intimidation by Patrick Cannon, director of the Michigan Commission for the Blind. FOX 13’s Tom Curran begins a new series called On the Journey highlighting disabled business owners. His first subject is Lou Fioritto of Braille Works. An ongoing study by Mathilde Beaulieu-Lefebvre, a graduate student from the Université de Montréal Department of Psychology, has debunked the myth that the blind have a more acute sense of smell than the sighted. Vision loss simply makes blind people pay more attention to how they perceive smells. It would appear that seeing a remake of every genre of film is unavoidable. This time we go back to 1981 to see the movie about Greek mythology titled Clash of the Titans. Blind movie critic Jay Forry tells us if the remake meets the hype. List of vision related charities that are working to imporve the lives of visually impaired people worldwide. Did you know that 75% of all visually impaired people worldwide could have their conditions corrected, and live a more comfortable and meaningful life as a result? Primpo Co., Ltd. will introduce its revolutionary new cane product for the visually impaired, “iSonic”, at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair. The “iSonic” model can detect obstacles within a range of 25 degrees horizontally and 50 degrees vertically with an integrated supersonic sensor. Researchers continue to search for methods of preventing and treating blindness. A new study in the Journal of Archives of Ophthalmology shows that a single serving of fish per week is associated with a reduced risk of incident early age-related macular degeneration, a disease that is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people older than 60. The macula, a part of the retina that allows central vision, deteriorates in this condition. Braille can provide independence to people who are blind or visually impaired. Tim Burton is the latest director looking for a pay-off with his high budget adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice in Wonderland. This had to have been one of the hardest books to translate into film and I thought Tim Burton would have thrown something new into the mix. Unfortunately, there is nothing original, nothing for the head to think about, and nothing for the heart to cry about; just a lot of computer graphics for the eyes. (And that’s nothing for a blind movie critic.) Had I not been familiar with the characters from this well-known tale, I would have had an even harder time following this disjointed story. |
