When you reach the junction with Hwy 93, turn left. One block down is a light at Treeline road, turn right here. We are just down the road on the right hand side!

in International, International Friendly, Predictions
Rússia vs Chile: Preview & Prediction
On Monday, June 5, Russia managed to make a good match against Hungary at the home of the rival, and won 3-0. An amazing performance for a team that had five times in the five previous friendly matches.
Signal also of the disposition of the athletes that dispute one of the vacancies in the final convocation for the competition of the Confederations Cup. The Russians are in Group A of the tournament and will debut on June 17 against New Zealand. The key also includes Portugal and Mexico.
This Friday's game will present a more difficult opponent forcing athletes to display even better football if they want to stay in the tournament group. Thirty athletes were summoned for the friendly matches, seven of them to be dismissed. Are they:
Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA), Marinato Guilherme (Lokomotiv), Andrei Lunev (Zenit), Aleksandr Belenov (Ufa).
Defender: Viktor Vasin (CSKA), Ruslan Kambolov (Rubin), Fedor Kudryashov (Rostov), Georgiy Dzhikia, Spartak Ilya Kutepov, Roman Neustädter (Fenerbahce, Turkey), Andrey Semenov (Terek), Roman Shishkin .
Socks: Yury Zhirkov, Igor Smolnikov (both from Zenit), Yury Gazinsky (Krasnodar), Denis Glushakov, Dmitry Kombarov, Roman Zobnin, Aleksandr Samedov (both from Spartak), Mario Fernandez, Alan Dzagoev, Aleksandr Golovin Aleksandr Erokhin (Rostov), Aleksey Miranchuk, Dmitry Tarasov (both from Lokomotiv).
Attackers: Aleksandr Bukharov (Rostov), Artem Dziuba (Zenit), Maxim Kanunnikov (Rubin), Dmitry Poloz (Rostov), Fedor Smolov (Krasnodar).
Chileans are in a similar situation. They fight to secure a place in the team that will compete in the Confederations Cup for being Copa América champion. The final group will only be set after the friendly against Russia on Friday and against Romania on 13 June.
In the first preparatory game, Chile acted at home and bid farewell to their fans with a quiet 3-0 win over Burkina Faso. It was a test designed to adapt the team to an African opponent, as will occur in the Russian tournament. The Chileans will make their first participation in the Confederations Cup against Cameroon on June 18. They are in group B that still has Australia and Germany. After three matches, the top two finishers advance to the semi-finals.
Coach Juan Pizzi, who had a limited group in the first friendly, should be able to count on all his players this Friday. The athletes who work abroad are considered almost correct names for the Confederations Cup match. They are: Claudio Bravo – Manchester City (England), Mauricio Isla – Cagliari Calcio (Italy), Enzo Roco- Cruz Azul Fútbol Club (Mexico), Eugenio Mena – Sport Club do Recife (Brazil), Paulo Díaz-Athletic Club San Lorenzo (Argentina), Gary Medel-FC Internazionale (Italy), Francisco Silva-Cruz Azul Fútbol Club (Mexico), Charles Aranguiz- Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Felipe Gutiérrez – Sport Club Internacional (Brazil), Arturo Vidal – Bayern Munich Germany), Pedro Pablo Hernández- Real Club Celta de Vigo SA D (Spain), Martín Rodríguez- Cruz Azul Fútbol Club (Mexico), Marcelo Díaz- Real Club Celta de Vigo SAD (Spain), Alexis Sánchez – Arsenal FC , Eduardo Vargas- Tigres UANL (Mexico), Nicolas Castillo- Pumas de la UNAM (Mexico) and Edson Puch-Necaxa (Mexico).
The fight for the remaining five spots must be filled by the athletes who play in the local football. They are: Johnny Herrera-Universidad de Chile, Cristopher Toselli-Catholic University, José Pedro Fuenzalida-Catholic University, Guillermo Maripán- Catholic University, Gonzalo Jara- University of Chile, Jean Beausejour- University of Chile, Felipe Mora- University of Chile, Yerko Leiva-Universidad de Chile, Leonardo Valencia-Palestino, César Pinares-Unión Española, Ángel Sagal-Huachipato and Gabriel Suazo-Colo Colo.
Rússia vs Chile: Direct Matches
This will be the first time that Chile has faced Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. While the Russians led the pack, the teams made six games, four of which ended with Russian victories. There was a draw and only a Chilean success, just at the 1962 World Cup when, as host country, scored 2 to 1.
Rússia vs Chile: Betting Tips
1X – Odds: 1.55
Over 2 goals – Odds: 1.65

Home / Ministries of Dr. Margarett / Conferences / Magnificat Speaker on Evangelization
From the Catholic Globe newspaper, Sioux City, IA, March 2017
Dr. Margarett Schlientz shared a message of evangelization and living an effective Christian life with more than 40 people at the Magnificat meal held March 10 at Resurrection Church held in Pocahontas.<br ?–>The evening was filled with prayer, song, food and the presentation by Dr. Schlientz.
"I thought the night went great ", said Julie Storr, coordinator of the Magnificat of Northwest Iowa. "I love it when God has a plan — His timing is perfect. Dr. Margarett's visit to our diocese was a blessing to many"
Magnificat of Northwest Iowa–Mary Lindoer of Knots chapter–meets quarterly for a meal and a speaker. The chapter's other officers are Deb Troshynski, assistant coordinator and Michelle Leiting, secretary/treasurer.
"Every day every member of the Magnificat is prayed for", said Storr. when talked about being a member. "Who doesn't need that kind of insurance plan?".
Dr. Margarett was guest speaker for the evening. She has an MA in theology and spirituality and a doctorate in psychiatric nursing. She is a spiritual director, retreat director and consultant to dozens of religious communities and dioceses.
Together with Msgr. John Esseff she cofounded the Pope Leo XIII Institute in Mundelein, IL. Dr. Margarett has led retreats and taught numerous workshops throughout the world leading both clergy and laity in spiritual direction healing and deliverance and Ignatian spirituality.
She also serves as a consultant and instructor at the Institute for Priestly Formation (IPF) summer program for Seminarians at Creighton University where she was awarded the Our Lady of Guadalupe Award for her services to IPF.
Dr. Margarett offered 10 points to lead to "authentic spiritual renewal, a keen sense of mission and an effective evangelization".
She moved from goals to discipline of renewal to tools of evangelization.
"The first is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the second is a relationship with the church. Our Christian life must be defined and motivated first and foremost by a personal love of Jesus Christ" said Dr. Margarett. "How do you love the Church no matter what the mess the church is in? You never give up on it no matter what. This point is simply another side of the first point. It has to flow out of that personal relationship with Jesus Christ".
The other points revealed by Dr. Margarett are;
A different way of living morally Christ-like ethics
Different attitudes, responses and emotions
Spiritual Reading
Knowledge of Scripture
Traditions and customs
Skill of detachment
"The goal of evangelization is for us to speak in a way that enables others to hear not us but Christ". She said to better explain the last point: "For this to happen, detachment from our prejudices, preferences and opinions is essential".
"Dr Margarett's talk is so important" said Julie Storr. "She has given us tools and now we are back to the twelve Apostles times three or four. We have to go out and make new Christians for the world".
Prayer Intentions
The attendees were asked to write down prayer intentions. At the conclusion of the evening, Fr. Paul Bormann, spiritual advisor, prayed over the intentions. The talk was recorded and is available on this website.

Retooling to meet COVID-era limitations, Fidgety Fairy Tales releases 'Chicken Little' on video
Fidgety Fairy Tales, a traveling children's acting troupe sponsored by the Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health, performs well-loved stories with a mental health twist.

A still from the video production of Fidgety Fairy Tales' "Chicken Little."
Fidgety Fairy Tales
These days, many people find themselves acting like Chicken Little, running in circles, terrified that the sky is going to fall on their heads. For Matt Organisak Jenson, that strange truth felt particularly fitting when he and his musical collaborator, Marya Hart, sat down to adjust their latest production, a musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale "Chicken Little," to fit COVID-challenged times.
Matt Organisak Jenson
It didn't take long for Jenson and Hart, the creative masterminds behind Fidgety Fairy Tales, a traveling children's acting troupe sponsored by the Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health (MACMH) that performs well-loved stories with a mental health twist, to realize that the little chicken's story was perfectly suited for today's reality. They realized that classic tale, which features a central character struggling to come to grips with her rampant anxiety and dangerously catching catastrophizing, would be a perfect way to help young audiences cope with their own and others' mental health challenges.
The only problem was that statewide stay-at-home orders meant that the Fidgety players, a group of young actors ages 10-18, would have to put their in-person rehearsals and performances on hold. In the face of such major obstacles, many directors would cancel the show — or at least shelve it until the pandemic passed. Jenson and Hart felt that wasn't an option.
"We knew we needed to figure out how to stage this show because the story felt like really important information to get out to our audiences right now," said Jenson, MACMH's director of arts and youth engagement. "We didn't want to wait. We just had to figure out a way to get the production out there so people could see it."
The Fidgety actors and directors were already halfway through the rehearsal process when the state went into shutdown mode. After some intense brainstorming, Jenson and Hart decided to create a video puppet show voiced by troupe members. They figured this was a zero-contact way to safely stage the show.

Switching from a live musical to a more static video took some adjustment, Jenson admitted. "We'd already staged a lot of the story as we were working on it, so it was hard at first to let go of what we thought it looked like on stage, to let the video be its own thing."
The creative challenge of restaging a performance to meet the needs of the times turned out to be a good way for Jenson to channel his own anxieties.
"It's felt like a good thing for me because it's meant that we had to learn a lot of new things," he said. "Somebody once said, 'You feel better when you're learning,' and I agree. It is a way of coping with anxiety just to feel like you are learning and growing. Reimagining this show forced me to do that."
The first thing that needed to happen to make the new production of "Chicken Little" a reality was that the Fidgety crew had to get together and rehearse. Face-to-face wasn't an option, so Jenson scheduled a series of Zoom rehearsals and brainstorming sessions. He and Hart then sent follow-up emails to individual actors with critiques and direction.
"Fortunately we had already done a lot of the music rehearsal before everything happened," Jenson said. "We were about 80 percent of the way there already."
Because COVID restrictions meant that the cast couldn't gather in one place to film a live version of the show or even record their performances, Jenson asked actors to record themselves reading their individual lines and then email the files to him.
"They all went into their closets so they had good acoustics for recording their lines," he said. Jenson then uploaded the individual recordings and compiled them with puppetry that he filmed himself.
The whole process felt like going out on a tightrope. Jenson and Hart both have years of experience working with live actors at the Children's Theatre Company, and they'd been working the same way with Fidgety Fairy Tales for over a decade. It would've been easy to simply cancel the show, but Jenson knew he owed it to the actors and the audience to keep it going.
"At first it felt like it was a scary switch," he said. "Then it became, 'Let's make this the best thing it can be with the time that we have and the limitations we have. What can we learn?'" He taught himself how to use the video editing software Adobe Premiere Pro and blended all of the pieces into one seamless 15-minute show.
The day before the video was launched on YouTube, the cast got together on Zoom to watch the final product. It wasn't exactly a traditional opening-night celebration, Jenson said, but the young actors' enthusiasm was catching and inspiring.
"Being on the Zoom call with all of them was just wonderful," he said. "Their energy is so great. When they get to be together, even if it is just on a screen, they're so excited to see each other. It's a wonderful energy to be around."
Zada Basford-Hammond
Ruby Karason, 15, plays the role of Chicken Little. The Minnetonka High School sophomore said that she was disappointed to hear that Fidgety's live shows would have to be canceled, but when Jenson told her about the plans to shift the play into a puppet show, she was all in.
"Our only two options were to either make a video with puppets or to not do it at all," Karason said. "We all wanted to do the play, so we all pitched in and we made a puppet show video. It ended up being really good."
Zada Basford-Hammond is in sixth grade at Anthony Middle School in Minneapolis. In her role as Therapist Wherapist, she is the one live actor in the video. She recorded her part at home with the help of her parents.
When Basford-Hammond saw the video in its final edited form, she was thrilled. She said that she had worried a bit that it might not all come together, but in the end the other actors, with the guidance of Hart and Jenson, created a great show despite the limitations.
"It's puppetry and acting and singing and lovable characters," Basford-Hammond said. "I think it will be a lot like the face-to-face performance."
Fidgety season continues
There are still two more shows scheduled for this season of Fidgety Fairy Tales. Next up is "The Tortoise and the Hare," which focuses on depression and how to boost your mood with nature. The third show, "Old Mother Hubbard," looks at lasting trauma from food insecurity.
"It is interesting that we had scheduled these three stories before everything changed," Jenson said. "They all feel pretty relevant to the times right now."
Jenson said that he and Hart want each show to have a unique look and feel. He assumes that for safety reasons all shows will have to be on video for the time being, so he's committed to making sure that they stand out from each other.
"The Tortoise and the Hare," for instance, will be done in an "animated storybook" style, much like the PBS show "Reading Rainbow." The parts will be read and prerecorded by the actors and edited to accompany a series of illustrations created by Fidgety graduate Gracie Borell, a St. Paul high school senior who is starting a fine arts program in the fall. The production is scheduled to premiere June 22.
"Each show is going to have a little bit of its own flavor," Jenson said. "We are going to keep playing around with the format. We want to experiment with the form and discover other fun ways to tell a story besides a live show."
It's still not clear when the Fidgety actors will be able to come together again to practice and perform. Jenson said that though he understands that living day-to-day may be the healthiest option for everyone, that's a tall order for a performance-based group that usually bases its existence on scheduling practices and live shows.
"Right now it feels like there is so much unknown so it is really hard to plan," he said. As stay-at-home orders continue to relax in the state, he and Hart have considered the possibility that someday in the future the small group of actors will begin performing shows for small live audiences.
"I think one of the things that our show has going for it is that we are a small group," he said. "There are times when we perform for hundreds of people but also times when we perform to groups of 20 or 30. Our shows are is really scalable. And there is something wonderful about doing smaller performances: The discussions that follow are often really important."
'A really nice, relieving experience'
Members of the Fidgety troupe said that being part of creating the video performance felt like a welcome break from their quarantine routines. While Karason said she felt sad about not being able to see her fellow actors or perform for a live audience, she welcomed the challenge of creating a new kind of show.
"I did like doing it," she said. "It was fun to experience something different." While she's used to performing for live audiences and traveling the state to raise awareness of mental health challenges, she was happy that Jenson and Hart came up with a way for to continue to the group's mission: "It still felt like we were helping our audiences. I think this is another way to raise awareness for people who can't make it to our shows."
Before "Chicken Little," Basford-Hammond, who has been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety, explained that she appeared in three other Fidgety Fairy Tales performances: "'Puss in Boots,' which was about autism; 'The Ant and the Grasshopper,' which was about ADHD; and 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' which was about anxiety." Those shows were performed in schools, churches and community centers.
She said she likes being part of Fidgety because of its mission — and because many of the other actors in the group also live with mental health concerns. She thinks that shows like theirs can help both kids and adults feel more comfortable being open about their mental health, and that feels important.
"It's been very, very nice to know that a lot of the other people in these plays also struggle with mental health disorders," Basford-Hammond said. "It's been nice to be in a community where it is accepted. There is no weirdness about it. It's given me the ability to talk about it a lot more."
With their musical scores, humor and dancing, the Fidgety plays also do a good job of making mental illness feel less intimidating.
"With our plays, we are trying to help children understand that it is not bad to have a mental health disorder and there is nothing wrong with that," Basford-Hammond said. "They want to have a more child-friendly understanding of it and turn it into something fun."
Karason said that recording her lines solo felt strange at first: "You don't know what the other people are saying before your line. That makes it harder to react. You just have to go by the script and how it tells you to do it. It was a fun challenge."
The Zoom rehearsals and opening-night gathering also added a bit of normalcy to the actors' temporarily upended worlds. They miss the routine of getting together with their fellow actors, and these opportunities helped remind them that they are still out there, just waiting until the day they can meet in person again.
"It's been really fun to join on the Zoom calls and to record things," Basford-Hammond said. "I've been feeling a little like, 'Where did everybody go?' So it's been a really nice, relieving experience."
New options for youth expression
Beyond the reworked Fidgety Fairy Tales performances, MACMH has also created two new ways for young people to address mental illness with art. Coming out of the nonprofit's partnership with the Minnesota Department of Human Services (MDH), Youth Move MN is a chapter of Youth Move National, an organization devoted to uplifting the voices of young people who have lived experience in various social systems, including mental health, juvenile justice, education and child welfare. The new projects, a podcast focused on mental health created by Minnesota youth and a monthly online arts magazine called "Youth Voices of Experience," were launched earlier this month.
Jarrett VanderPoel
"We have youth all over Minnesota sending in artwork and podcast segments talking about their experience with mental health," Jenson said. "People are being very honest and vulnerable about their experiences."
The young artists featured in the launch issue of "Youth Voices of Experience," are between the ages of 12-22. After their art was selected for publication, they were paired with an adult mentor artist who helped them craft their artist's statement.
Jarrett VanderPoel, 18, is a senior at Cloquet Area Alternative Education Program. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), mild schizophrenia, ADHD and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), he's explained that he's "grown up in foster care," and since 2017 he's lived in an adult group foster home in Cloquet.
A visual artist, VanderPoel submitted some of his work to "Youth Voices of Experience" after a teacher told him about the opportunity. Four of his pieces, all manifestations of different symptoms of BPD, appear in the June issue.
Jarrett VanderPoel's drawing the current issue of "Youth Voices of Experience" magazine.
"With BPD there are chronic feelings pf emptiness and boredom and an unstable sense of identity," VanderPoel explained. "One drawing addresses how when you have BPD you feel like you are on a roller coaster. Sometimes you are upset. Sometimes you feel normal. Every 20 seconds it is a new emotion. It makes a lot of relationships hard. I don't have people in my life that can understand that I'm not doing it to be difficult. I'm doing it because of my mental illness. I want other people with BPD to not feel alone."
Providing promising young artists like VanderPoel with an opportunity to get their work out into the world is another way to spread understanding of mental illness and how it impacts the lives of so many Minnesotans, Jenson said.
"The artists we worked with on this first issue are all really amazing and willing to be vulnerable in their work and how they talk about it. I think it's going to be really helpful for adults to see a youth's perspective on their experiences."
That's exactly what VanderPoel hopes will happen.
"The arts are very therapeutic," he said. "I hope when I make art people can see themselves in it and maybe they can understand the struggles of somebody with my kind of issues. Sometimes you can't say what you're feeling but with art you can show what you're feeling."

"[The gospel] in the hand of the Holy Spirit…is a fire which penetrates, warms, softens, quickens, purifies, and comforts the heart. It is a light which assimilates (2 Corinthians 3:18) and truth which sanctifies (John 17:17). It is also the 'law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus' which, by making believers 'free from the law of sin and death,' brings them under the law to Christ (1 Corinthians 9:21). The design, too, of the ordinances of the gospel is that sinners may be converted to the love and practice of holiness, and that saints may enabled to abound more and more in every good word and work."

In her latest song, "Shake it Off," the country/pop artist Taylor Swift wrote, "...the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate." While I am sure that Ms. Swift was not referring to some peoples' recent comments about Apple's commitment to accessibility when she wrote the song, the basic idea behind that particular phrase still applies.
When Apple's iOS 8 operating system was released in September, it included a number of accessibility bugs for blind and low vision users. These bugs ranged from very minor (VoiceOver did not remember one's typing preference when upgrading from iOS 7) to very annoying (the screen did not always auto-scroll to follow VoiceOver focus). To date, some of these bugs have been fixed—and some of them have not. And while I do not know when the bugs I would like to see fixed (mainly, the issues with Braille Screen Input) will be addressed, I have full confidence that they will be addressed—and that Apple is as committed as ever to making its products accessible to everyone.
Upon the release of iOS 8, I read a lot of comments from people who were, naturally, upset by the number (and severity) of the bugs in the new operating system. Generally, these comments took one of two forms: "iOS 8 is really buggy. All new software has bugs, and I really hope Apple addresses these bugs as soon as possible. That said, I really like the new features of iOS 8 and will put up with the bugs until they're fixed."; or "iOS 8 has too many accessibility bugs; I'm staying on (or downgrading to) iOS 7.1.2 until some of these issues are worked out."
And then there was a third type of comment: "Apple does not care about accessibility! They must stop treating their blind customers like second-class citizens!"
While I can understand being frustrated with the number of accessibility bugs in iOS 8—I myself was quite discouraged—the logic behind the "Apple does not care about the blind community!" reasoning is totally beyond me, mainly because the available evidence just does not support any conclusion of the sort.
When iOS 7 was released, it contained several accessibility bugs for blind and low vision users—some of them rather serious. While Apple did include a VoiceOver sensitivity fix in iOS 7.0.3, a majority of the issues introduced in iOS 7 were not addressed until the release of iOS 7.1—nearly six months after the public release of iOS 7.
In contrast, Apple has already made significant progress towards addressing the accessibility bugs in iOS 8. In iOS 8.1, which was released just over a month after iOS 8, Apple fixed a number of accessibility bugs for blind and low vision users; iOS 8.1.1, which came out a couple days ago, brought with it even more fixes. Two months into the life-cycle of iOS 7, the hope of iOS 7.1 (and all the bug fixes it would bring) was just a faraway dream.
Though the argument could certainly be made that iOS 8 got out the door with too many serious accessibility bugs—and that the iOS 8 release supersedes any of Apple's more recent efforts—it's worth remembering that all users, not just those who are blind or who have low vision, experienced a higher number of bugs with iOS 8. If iOS 8 does in fact contain more bugs (I'm still not sure how such a thing would be objectively quantified, anyway), and if sighted users alike are also experiencing serious issues, should we expect that our needs would be prioritized over those of other groups of users? I don't know about you, but I would be more than a little uncomfortable with the idea.
To those who say Apple is not committed to the accessibility of their software, my question is this: what would one call Apple's recent efforts to correct the issues in iOS 8? Would a company who is uninterested in accessibility push major VoiceOver bug fixes in seemingly insignificant iOS point updates? For that matter, would an uninterested company even care to fix accessibility bugs at all?
The unfortunate reality is that people who are bound and determined to vilify Apple will do so, regardless of whether the company makes great efforts or does nothing at all. Apple could push a pair of updates out tomorrow that fixed 99.9% of the accessibility issues users are experiencing with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and still there would be some who would complain that not enough was being done. And while I think an open, constructive discussion about accessibility issues is a very good thing, I am really getting tired of the constant negativity directed towards Apple.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that blind and low vision users should take the "We should just be grateful Apple includes VoiceOver at all" attitude. On the contrary, I feel that such an attitude leads to complacency and ultimately benefits nobody—least of all the person using the access technology. I think all users who are affected by accessibility bugs need to report them through the proper channels, and that honest, constructive discussions need to be had whenever software is released that has accessibility issues.
With that said, however, all of the vitriol (vs. constructive feedback) some have directed towards Apple's Accessibility Team—especially in the last two months, when their efforts to improve the experience for blind and low vision users have shown in tangible ways—is neither helpful nor productive.
So, is your glass half empty, or is it half full? When it comes to Apple's accessibility efforts, my glass is definitely half full.
I totally agree with Michael. I am so very tired of all the negative comments concerning the so called lack of concern for accessibility. I for one have had nothing but great success with Apple, their products, and the tech support. If more people would channel the force behind all these negative comments, and just tell apple what the problem is, if they truly have a problem, and then, it will be fixed, instead of just griping and complaining all the time, the world would be a lot better place.
Michael all I can say is I totally agree with you, glass half full on this side as well.
To all the moaners, go try Android Talkback for a week and then come back crying for your iOS device with its buggy VO.
BTW I think since iOS 6 I never got a update with a show stopper VO bug, I never whent ooooh no I have to make a plan to get back the previous version because this makes my device unusable, oh and I am a early adopter, I usually keep hitting refresh untill the update aperes on my screen as soon as it's launched.
I agree with this blog post. I've used android before, and it was a nightmare. When I got my iPhone, I thought to myself, 'finally! I can actualy, you kow, be productive with my phone!' So yes, my glass is half-full on this one.
About one month ago I became a iOS-user when I bought a used iPhone 5s. Before that I have used the Nexus 4 and I really have to say Apple did an awsome job with voiceover. It seems like parts of the blind community aren't aware how much better accessibility is on the apple-side of things.
I totally agree that things could be a lot wors. Just imagine not having your iPhone with you when you are in a new area. I for once am thankful for what Apple did and will do in the future for accessibility.
I basically agree with the original post and, to some extent, with the plethora of "amen" posts that follow. Where I get off the bus is when the comments metamorphose from pointing out the truth of the assertion that blind and sighted alike are subject to the growing pains of a new operating system version to the "Apple has done more than anyone else toward accessibility so we should go easy on them" set of posts. I don't buy it. Sloppy programming is sloppy programming and, perhaps more importantly, negligent testing for bugs is negligent testing for bugs. Why should all of us expect that somehow we should be less prone to what Apple apologists call "hate mail" than are members of the sighted public? Shouldn't we expect the same range of comments as we would see in other forums? To expect otherwise tacitly assumes that we are not human.
I know of one person who went from an iPhone to an Android phone. I haven't asked her why but it is enough to note that the phenomenon exists. I suspect she resented the iron control Apple has over app updating which, while a protection, is viewed by some as an unwarranted "Big Brother" exercise.
My view is this: Michael Hanson is correct that it is en exercise in unintelligent speculation to conclude that Apple doesn't care about accessibility. I would go further, however: I don't think we can truly evaluate whether Apple cares (morally-speaking) about accessibility or whether such mindfulness is driven by the need to keep and garner contracts that involve Federal government aid and regulation. Indeed, as long as we achieve accessibility, the exact why Apple fulfills our wishes is none of our business and shouldn't be part of our evaluation IMO. We are not Apple's CEO or Board of Directors or other governing bodies so we can't legitimately evaluate the current thinking within the company.
I think Apple was absolutely asinine to bring out iOS 8 as buggy as it was. However, Apple is doing a good job at correcting accessibility bugs. I think that's about all we can legitimately say.
When accessibility was first introduced into I-devices, it had some bugs but generally worked well since Apple tailored it to a specific fixed OS, i.e., that for the 3GS. Is it any wonder that as the OS has evolved, there haven't been some rough edges? that said, though, I get an impression that accessibility isn't integrated into iOS development as tightly as we might wish. but it's an impression.
Perhaps we should simply let people post, figuring that some anger is inevitable but not letting said anger cloud our judgment. This IMO is how Apple Accessibility is going to have to approach this also. I do not see how we can do anything else as those who are bitter will not be persuaded by counterarguments and those who are greatful no matter what are also not persuadable.
Yep ... Apple is commited and is doing a great job.
But manyy of these bugs nmight be detected by tests, and not by hard tests but instead by simple tests.
So ... something has changed. They are aparently less careful with bugs. I suspect this probably has something to do with time to marketing and I am pretty suure this did not affect only the blind / visually impared comunity, as many other people had issues with the whole OS, regardless of voiceover or anyy other assistive technology usage!
So while we have to respect Apple for its commitment (moral or not) ... we have to keep an eye on the issues.
I have recently read some very disturbing comments on another website concerning Apple's commitment to accessibility. One blogger has castigated Apple for allowing its accessibility to ddteriorate.
While many blind people have been leaving Windows behind and moving to the Mac, this blogger has decided to go back to Windows. This blogger also called Apple's accessibility sloppy. Such negative comments seriously discourage people from even finding out about and exploring Apple products. Such comments are are detrimental, injurious and certainly not constructive.
Nothing is perfect. I'd like Apple to strengthen its commitment to accessibility. The company needs to adopt stricter accessibility standards and tighten its testing procedures. However, we should always remember that because accessibility is built into Apple's operating systems, bugs are always present throughout these systems. Accessibility is only one factor. Within accessibility, VoiceOver and Zoom aren't the only issues of concern.
Apple needs to clean up long-standing accessibility bugs. The company needs to work with its disabled customers to significantly improve accessibility.
Finally, after thinking about this for some time now, I agree with the U.S. National Fgheration of the Blind that all apps must be fully accessible in order for Apple to accept them. True, that's a hard-line position, but it needs to be taken. While all apps are not practical for blind people to use, such as those that depend entirely on vision, they need to be accessible for other disabled people.
Hi Michael. First off, wel done blog post, i agree 100% I'm using 10.10.1 a new release of Yosemite, and they haven't fixed one of the in my mind, silly bugs they let slip through, the "New Line selected." When pushing the shift key down for any typing whatsoever. I find it completely annoying, but I still will use it happily. I'm pretty sure Apple has their plates full, they had an Os an iOs and the new apple watch to think about. And to be frank, if that doesn'thave accessibility beyond the high contrast and maybe zoom features for low vision, I won't complain about it. I'm sure they were pushed to the breaking point making evrything set, oh they had Apple pay, forgot that, so isn't it a bit naieve to think ti will be perfect? The typing prefference not set kind of drove me nuts, I still used it. When it got fixed I may or maynot have done a cartwheel. :) If we don't keep politely reporting bugs, and we don't shell out the hundred bucks to be beta testers, realistically, how are the company execs going to know? The simple answer is they won't. With all that in mind, I'll keep updating, and when my phone is able to be upgraded, wait. I like seeing what stores keep launching apple pay. Oh side note, the first beta of 8.2 was released yesterday. Please don't killme for that, I only mention it so you get the idea that i'm sure this is coming up soon.
This is the kind of comment that left behind so many things.
I aknowledge the fact that not everyone is into software development or computing engineering and that for those people it might appear as if bugs were not reported they could not be known by anyother form or maner. This is wrong.
I know the blogger who has been a hard guy with Apple and, for the most part, he has his reazons. One of the points statted by him is that what were called st*pid bugs could be easily caught by authomated tests. I supose this is a rightt statement.
A well made authomation test process, and bilieve me the most important and prominent IT corporation in the world as of now a days has full conditions of implementing such process, would catch a lot of the reported bugs.
The more complex ones also could be caught by authomated tests I supose. Some nasty stuff such as misspronuntiation of words by many sinthetic voices could be easily discovered by asking a single person of each language to try listening to simple texts, or by requesting the voices supliers to do it and once it was not done to request the supliers to correct imediately their voices.
So many things might be done with almost no efort. And, when such simple and easy ttests are not perfornmed (I supose they are either not done or that their results were not taken in consideration given the bugs we have) it does generally mean that things are changing and this let's me with some flags set.
#11 How is Blogging About Switching Back to Windows Injurious?
With all due respect, how is making factual statements about wanting to switch back to Windows injurious? If we're thinking of the same blog post...I found his commentary to be both very informative and very refreshing. In particular, his attention to detail and provision of very specific ways in which the accessibility experience could be improved really helped the articles to go beyond the typical "There are accessibility bugs" type of piece.
As I said in my original post, I think honest and productive discussions need to be had about serious accessibility issues, be it on iOS, OS X, or any other platform. If the experience of using VoiceOver on a Mac has deteriorated (I wouldn't know firsthand, as I'm exclusively a Windows user), that sort of thing needs to be addressed.
What I said is that alleging that Apple's accessibility is deteriorating and sloppy is injurious. Saying that one is giving up the Mac for Windows indicates to prospective customers that using a Mac doesn't cut it for blind people.
"Saying that one is giving up the Mac for Windows indicates to prospective customers that using a Mac doesn't cut it for blind people."
What, exactly, is wrong with a user stating that a piece of software does not work for them? If a piece of software doesn't cut the mustard, then it doesn't cut the mustard. There's nothing injurious ("Causing harm to one's reputation; slanderous, libelous, invidious" (Wiktionary)) about a factual statement that software does not work for their particular use case.
Would I be slanderous for stating that I don't use OS X because I find the concept of interaction (and how VoiceOver presents onscreen information in general) to be too confusing?
#14 Things I've learned with 8!
I agree with Michael. I have been frustrated and even angry. I hate playing the (blind) card. For the fact, I don't want to exclude myself. For me, I've always prided myself on adapting.
With release, I really feel it wasn't ready for release. Which had nothing to do with accessibility. My sighted friends have been just as frustrated.
There were some very severe accessibility bugs. Many still exist in Safari. But, it was my choice to update. Can't fault Apple for that. I'm well aware of consequences with release of future releases.
I also have found progress. When emailing accessibility team, you get general response. If you call and report, they will tell if it's been reported. If you're nice, they will tell you if its on the critical escalation list.
Couldn't agree more with everything said in this blog post.
Perhaps it's my age, and lets just say I'm getting up there, but I am still amazed at how far technology has advanced. I have access to devices that would have seemed preposterous, let alone impossible, when i first started working with technology. Back then, I didn't mind getting down and dirty to make something work. From setting SCSI device numbers, to flipping DIP switches, and entering hard drive geometry, it came with the territory. These days, I'm not nearly as patient, and I just want technology that lets me do the stuff I need to do. I don't want to jump through hoops to make stuff work. I don't want to mess with the tech. I have other things to do.
My Apple stuff works. Sure, there are little things that give me a bit of frustration, but I'd rather just use something, than have deep access to settings and options. I'm not saying Apple knows best, but I am saying I like being in the sandbox.I appreciate what Apple has done to put a device in my pocket that does things I could have only dreamed of only a few short years ago. I'll take the comparatively minor issues not to have to deal with all the other things that the device has helped with.
So I'm in the glass is almost full, and I'm not even thirsty camp.
#17 Does Apple still care about accessibility???
for anyone even to ask this question undermines their knolage on the reality of accessibility on main stream products.
Yes, I am first to admit that iOS 8 has had more bugs than previous releases, but this is not specific to Accessibility and anyone to even suggest that Apple doesn't care about accessibility simply needs a serious reality check.
Can anyone name me one company or product which is developed by a large mainstream company which has accessibility out-of-the-box and which works as well as iOS? I'm not talking about companies making dedicated products at silly high prices.
Does any other large company has a dedicated channel for reporting accessibility bugs which responds with a ticket for each and every bug reported? I also know from experience that its not just an automated robot because where they can't replicate the bug, they do ask more questions.
Has any other mainstream company removed a product from their portfolio just because it wasn't accessible? Apple just recently did just that.
Does any other company provide products design such that the user experience gap between disabled and none disabled persons is minuscule?
If people cannot be helpful and constructive then they should think twice before writing such twaddle.
Since purchasing my iPhone couple of years ago I truly feel liberated, since it has simply enabled me to do things that I would have not even dreamt about before iPhone.
Anyone who would even consider moving back from a Mac to Windows has simply not given themselves an opportunity to experience and enjoy the worlds finest.
In fact, I am actually running windows from my Mac and guess what, it actually runs a lot better and smoother than any other laptop I have tried in the past and it also gives me more battery life than any other laptop I have tried before.
If anyone is being put off upgrading to iOS 8.11 because of comments regarding bugs, then please allow me to put your mind at rest. Yes, there are bugs, but the overall experience is a lot richer.
Hi! I can understand the frustration of people who are not happy with all the bugs in IOS 8, or in previous versions of IOS come to that, but, as far as I'm concerned, such frustration doesn't justify the statement by some people that Apple have given up on accessibility. That's why I agree with what has been said in the blog post above. Speaking for myself, I chose to get an iPhone in 2011 because the Nokia phone with Mobile Speak installed on it which I had before that no longer worked and I wanted something I knew would also be accessible: as it turned out, I feel that the iPhone is the best mobile phone I've ever had, being accessible out of the box, unlike Symbian phones where we had to install screenreaders such as Talks or Mobile Speak. I have never had the chance to try using an accessible Android phone, nor a Mac come to that, so I can't compare the iPhone with Android or the Mac with my Windows computer. I admit I agree with the opinion that Apple may have rushed the release of IOS 8 for commercial reasons before it should have done, so that there were bugs in IOS 8 which shouldn't have been there, but I'm pleased that Apple has released updates to at least try and correct some of the bugs, and the fact that there is a beta of IOS 8.2 already available to testers probably means that Apple is planning another bug-fixing update at some point. I personally believe there is no such thing as a perfect operating system, either for computers or for mobile phones, and it's definitely true that bugs in any OS can cause frustration to its users, but I definitely don't think Apple has given up on accessibility, definitely not on the IOS side anyway, and probably not on the Mac side either, even though I have no personal experience of the latter.
I totally agree with this blog post, and with those of you commenting that Apple does a good job. I had been hearing and reading only negative things about VoiceOver and Apple's products in general, so I was therefore less than optimistic about switching from Windows to Mac. That is, until I walked into an Apple store in my area with my parents and a sister just after Christmas last year. I'm not going to detail my whole purchasing experience because I've already done that elsewhere on here. What I will say though, is that I'm glad I listened to my instincts and my family and friends. This is my first Mac computer, and I have to commend Apple for doing a great job. For one thing, they have included VoiceOver and their other accessibility features in their core operating system. Just that fact alone in my opinion is a great selling point. But in addition, I've found VO to work really well. Yes there are some bugs, but none of them are show-stoppers for me. I think it's just a really bad idea to say that Apple doesn't care about accessibility because they certainly do and it shows. Look at what Tim Cook said about Apple's ROI. That alone should speak volumes about Apple's commitment to accessibility. If some people don't want to use their products, that's fine but don't ruin it for those of us who do want to use them. Enough said. So I guess my glass is half full, and I'm thirsty for more.
I feel really glad to have an apple device. I fully agree with Michael. I think If apple was not committed to accessibility, would they bring more features to improve accessibility like they did in IOS8? I recall the recent example of an apple TV update in which they have made some features accessible which were previously not accessible. Good job apple! keep it up!
I just wanted to make one point regarding accessibility at Apple: it isn't just VoiceOver. Accessibility is Zoom, contrast settings, switch control, hearing aid compatibility, guided access, color inversion, and all the other parts of iOS and OS X that aren't VoiceOver but are still the responsibility of the accessibility department at Apple.
In the latest OS X release, not much was done with VoiceOver or Zoom, though the much-wanted arrow key navigation for VoiceOver was added. However, according to what I've read, switch control got a huge update and is now far easier to use than it was. My thought, therefore, is that the people working in accessibility have a finite amount of time to implement new features, and sometimes one aspect of their area of work will have to take a back seat to a different area. Another example of this is in iOS: it might be that some bugs in VoiceOver got through because engineers were spending a lot of time making the massive update to Zoom.
I'm not saying Apple is perfect, or that the large number of iOS8 and OS X 10.10 bugs are not a problem. If bugs aren't being caught, perhaps Apple could hire one or two more people to work in accessibility. What I *am* saying is that we all, myself most definitely included, need to keep in mind that although we rely on VoiceOver, others rely on Zoom, others on Switch control, others on display settings, and on down the list. Apple has to keep all these assistive items updated and moving forward, and there are only so many hours in the day.
Unfortunately, Nuance owns all of the voices except for Alex. Therefore, there is nothing Apple can do about programming or output problems in most, if not all of the voices VO uses. Saying that, any other screen reader manufacturer that depends on expressive voices has the same problem. If VO has problems with a voice pronouncing a word or phrase, all other screen readers will have the same problem.
Using automated tests could probably find a large part of the bugs in existence. However, making the claim that Apple never used automated tests or unit testing is as ridiculous as saying that Apple could care less about disabled users. How do we know that Apple did or didn't? Anyone making this claim: have you worked on the IOS 8 development cycle or OSX 10.10 development cycle ? Can you produce factual reports available for public comment that proves that Apple did or didn't use certain stages of the app development lifecycle? Remember, we are not taking Apple to court. We are not the judges sitting on the bench ready to hand Apple a life sentence in prison because they "miserably failed" at making VO and accessibility 150% perfect from beta 1. Lets use our critical thinking and logical thought processes to give Apple what is rightfully theirs.
If OSX doesn't work for some, it doesn't. There is nothing wrong with OSX, but it doesn't fit the style or productivity of a particular user. Personally, I do not use a MAC because the productivity factor does not exist. Of course, there is Numbers, Pages, and Keynote, but they lack features needed for my college classes. On the other hand, if Microsoft came out with the new Office for MAC, and it was accessible, I would jump. However, I am pretty much stuck in the Windows world. Again, there is nothing wrong with Windows, and there is nothing wrong with OSX.
Apple does care about accessability, maybe not as much as I'd wish they did, but at least they seem to care more than Google does. With IOS, Voice Over is built in, but with Android, Talk Back has to be downloaded and installed. So IOS devices are accessable out of the box while Android devices require help from a sited person to download and install Talk Back before it is accessable.
So my cup is half full and I'm hoping it will be filled up with stuff I like.
What bothers me is everyones reaction to this blogger who has a negative opinion of Apple. It shows a lack of tolllerance for opinions that differ from yours and that you'd support censoring them.
He has a right to his opinions and a right to voice them. If you disagree with his opinions, either ignore him, or leave a comment to his blog post voicing your own opinion.
Don't support suppressing what he has to say, down that path lies censorship and darkness.
I'm not an android user, not because I don't like it or anything like that. I've just not thought about it, I have an Iphone myself, but to the poster saying talkback has to be downloaded. I think that's not true. I'm quite sure you make a sertain shape on the device and talkback turns on. I could be wrong though but I've herd that's what you did.
Unfortunately, Nuance owns all of the voices except for Alex. Therefore, there is nothing Apple can do about programming or output problems in most, if not all of the voices VO uses.
This is wrong. If you buy a piece of software and it does not work as expected you as a customer go and either ask for the version that worked back or make pressure to your suplier to get it corrected.
Apple certainly does have bargain power to do it. Thhere are other supliers and there are other voices from nuance that work as expected. If you are the seller of something, you're responsible for that thing. If you aquired supliers that do not find the right expectations, that's your problem.
Saying that, any other screen reader manufacturer that depends on expressive voices has the same problem. If VO has problems with a voice pronouncing a word or phrase, all other screen readers will have the same problem.
How nice would be a dictionary then .... inn fact this is what FS has been doing cinse ages and ages ago, using dictionaries to correct some english US eloquence pronunciation problems or using dictionaries to adjust stuf.
Using automated tests could probably find a large part of the bugs in existence. However, making the claim that Apple never used automated tests or unit testing is as ridiculous as saying that Apple could care less about disabled users.
- Being made, reporting problems that are, in turn, not being taken in concideration at this time.
How do we know that Apple did or didn't? Anyone making this claim: have you worked on the IOS 8 development cycle or OSX 10.10 development cycle ? Can you produce factual reports available for public comment that proves that Apple did or didn't use certain stages of the app development lifecycle?
I can not,. But I can use evidence about how stuf is or is not working that ***** point out ****** to a senarious that really set me some flags on. Again, one does not need to participate in a development cicle of something to find bugs. And one does not need to be there to see that, if even simple bugs were not corrected on time, things have a greater probability of being changing somehow. This said I don't claim and never did .... that Apple is not commited to accessibility and nor that its development cicle is this or that. I am only the equivalent of an old man that, looking at the sky and seeing that it's getting darker and darker in the middle of the day decides to go home before the storm takes him outside. This is how things work. I recomend and will keep recomending Apple products, I own Apple products, I use Apple products and I am happy with things I have, but I am looking ahead and saying that evidence might show that something is changing.
Remember, we are not taking Apple to court. We are not the judges sitting on the bench ready to hand Apple a life sentence in prison because they "miserably failed" at making VO and accessibility 150% perfect from beta 1.
Lets use our critical thinking and logical thought processes to give Apple what is rightfully theirs.
The critical thinking and logical thoughts I have force me to just stat that I have some flags on.
What other people do is their problem. I do myy homework and that's why I can say based on my own experience what I think.
I have had the opportunity to use Android as well as IOS and it is truly a personal preference whether you pick one over the other. I do prefer IOS for a few personal reasons. I say this due to the comment above about downloading TalkBack.
TalkBack is in the settings similar to VO. No downloading required. Depending on which android device you get the shortcut will be different or someone will have to turn it on for you. Once it's on you have many options to what type of shortcut you prefer to use.
I have a 4S and haven't updated it to IOS 8 so I don't know about all the bugs that are present but, using a Galaxy S5 with TalkBack personally made me miss my IPhone. It is truly a personal experience.
I know individuals who are blind and bash Apple and others who bash Android but, I feel having options is what's most important. Coming from the sighted world to the blind, options make all the difference and I see no need to bash one or the other. Just use and love what you have. I remember when neither one was an option.
Everything needs to be updated and VO and TalkBack are no exception. It's how you voice your opinion or suggestions that make all the difference.
To be honest, I wonder if Apple has individuals who are actually using voiceover 24/7. I ask this because some of the bugs are pretty hard to miss unless you are a sighted person who only turns voiceover on sometimes.
Calling Apple Accessibility results in getting a sighted rep who knows about voiceover, but is mainly unfamiliar with the majority of the bugs mentioned.
If Apple hired, say, blind individuals who use voiceover 24 hours a day (have to), I am sure that some of these bugs would be noticed. However, getting a few people calling here and there complaining about something lends to the idea that either they think the bugs are isolated issues, do not know how to fix them, or are unaware they exist.
Specially when it comes to mac OS it's clear that someone sighted is trying to do their best to arrange things the best possible way but without really using the reader.
Simple things like the icon sound being played always before the reading happens * before not at the same time * points that they need perhaps understand better how stuf works for blind people.
I mean .... if they are incredbly awesome this way I imagine where they would be if they have a little more guidance on some topics. It probably was gonna be hundreds of light years from the competitors.
I do agree that Apple needs to have a nice size team of blind and VI individuals testing VO before it comes out to make sure there are less bugs. People with vision just don't use VO like a blind person would. They can also have more blind people have access to the beta versions and give back feedback before the public release.
Your opinion is beautiful, and well stated.
I also was surprised by such anger directed at a company that has from an accessibility point, done much for us.
It seems people have a need to bite the hand that feeds, while eating the provided.
My glass is about 2 thirds full, and I understand that although I'd like improvements for this or that, that same change has to accommodate everyone, not just the visually impaired. This development takes time.
It is a feat when a company is able to do this with such grace.
It helps apple to fix problems with accessibility by reporting to them instead of just vent. With this in mind, I need to tell apple that safari has issues with playing web pages that have Flashplayer. I am able to see a TV program in my PC by using IE but not safari. Keep reporting issues to apple and remember that any program develop by humans will have bugs. It happens and it will happen when iOS 9 next year comes.
Lack of support for Flash is not a bug; it's a choice Apple has made.
I agree with you. I am just too much in awe of how accessible the iPhone is and the wonderful stuff I can do on my phone. While my other blind comrades are still struggling with their android phones filling up mailing lists with their numerous questions which never crossed my mind with the iPhone.
Yes, I have complaints too. But I think it's better to report them with adequate information to apple instead of venting my frustration on some blog. Like for example 2 finger double tapping to end the call takes forever to end the call on my 5S and leaves you with uncertainty if the call actually ended. This frustrates me everyday but I know the next fix will take care of it. The predictive typing has totally swept me off my feet. It's simply the best thing to happen on the phone sighted or not. The positives of the phone negate the negatives by a huge margin.
I would like to give my opinion on Apple's commitment to accessibility again, since I just upgraded to Yosemite over the weekend. I have found some minor issues with VO in this latest release, but I still stand by what I said in my previous comment on this blog post. Yes, I think Apple is still as committed to accessibility as ever. These bugs are once again by no means show-stoppers for me, and I've no doubt Apple will fix them soon. One bug I've found is that when capitalizing a letter, VO says "new line, selected." The other is the double-speaking and/or repetition of characters when navigating with the left and right arrow keys. I've only seen this with some voices thus far, and I'm curious to see what happens with the other voices. I'm having a problem with iCloud, but it sounds like it's on my end and not the fault of Apple. I like the improved Alex voice, and I'm currently playing around with the other voices to see if there've been any additional changes. I don't speak or understand Hebrew, but it's neat that we now have a Hebrew voice.
I bought a macbook pro in 2013 and tried it for a month or so, but didn't like it. SO put windows eight on it an now have windows eight point one.
Even though I don't like the mac much, I can say that apple have tried and tried again when it comes to access for everyone.
Iphones, amazing, macs amazing for those that use them and like them. Me? I'm just so used to windows I guess.
The thing is, people will complain about anything given the chance to do so. give someone the chance to complain and they will.
We have VO for Ios and mac, NVDA and Narator for windows and orca I think it's called, for lynix. There are so many free screen readers out there these days, it's shocking, but in a great and wonderful, amazing kind of way, that makes me sit back and think of what we didn't have five or even ten years ago that we do now.
I just want to give my opinion on Apple's commitment to accessibility. First of all, While I have had some issues with VoiceOver, I have to give the accessibility team a big shoutout. There products have really changed my life. I think they've done a phenominal job in making there products accessible to everyone. when it comes to reporting an accessibility bug to Apple, it should be done in a way that doesn't seem rude or negative. Getting angry at Apple and saying that they don't care about accessibility will not solve anything. If Apple didn't care about accessibility, they would've most likely stopped making there products accessible a long time ago. It's okay to get frustrated, but remember. No operating system will ever be perfect. There will always be bugs... I think Apple would be more open to fix accessibility bugs if people told them in a nice way what the problem is. That's just my opinion.
If they didn't care about accessibility, why did they put in VoiceOver then? That's the point, they put in VoiceOver for a reason, and that reason is to help blind and visually impaired people be able to use the iPad and iPhone like sighted users can. And the bugs? That's normal, updates to software usually always have bugs, and those bugs get improved. Same things apply to apps. Bugs will be there, no matter what, it just takes an amount of time to fix this. I'm sorry this made you guys think I'm angry, but I'm not. I'm just explaining, that's all.
OK. We know apple is doing the best with voiceover. Yes. they can do more about fixing problmes and hope they work on it in iOS 9.3 which may come out next week. Also they are a business who work with the US government need to meet rule regarding accessibility or lose the contract from them. So they are not doing just to be nice and kind. I like apple and will be getting iPhone 7 this year.
This question shouldn't even be asked. If I walk into a Microsoft store and ask for help using an aspect of Windows, the average Microsoft employee will be saying "Huh? Blind people can do that?" Whereas, with Apple, every employee at least has a basic knowledge of accessibility.

Keystone Light is grabbing 2017 by the 'Stones.
First, the brand brought value to consumers with the introduction of the 15-pack.
That move helped position Keystone Light as the No. 9 growth brand in the country, according to Nielsen. Sales volume is up 0.5 percent and share is up 0.1 points in the four weeks ended March 25, the data show.
And now Keystone Light's launching a refreshing new look.
The packaging features brighter blues, bigger mountains and a can that plays up the "Stone" nickname.
On the secondary packaging, the mountains form a repeating pattern that create an instant visual display when stacked together.
To get behind the new design, Keystone Light is kicking off new radio spots, out-of-home advertising, and social and digital media.
MillerCoors will use "this modernized look across every touchpoint to create a refreshed and bold brand experience," Ashley Selman, vice president of brand marketing, economy and emerging brands, said at the MillerCoors Distributor Convention last month.
Keystone Ice and Keystone Premium also are getting new packaging, with bold black and red designs, respectively.

Chanel's two pop-up boutiques in Paris located in the Marais district on rue Vieille-du-Temple within landmark mansion known as the Hôtel Amelot de Bisseuil.
One of the boutiques covers 127 sqm showcasing ready-to-wear and accessories that headlined by the Coco Cuba resort collection that was unveiled in Havana last May meanwhile the other one is smaller covering only 37 sqm being entirely dedicated to shoes.
Chanel is operating a cluster of fashion boutiques around its historic Rue Cambon flagship and twin units on each side of the Avenue Montaigne.


Holoscenes is a multi-platform artwork colliding the human body with water. The work includes performance installation, video, photographic, and print components. The Anthropocene Suite is a quartet of projections featuring multiple performers carrying out a series of everyday behaviors while animated by several thousand gallons of water in an aquarium-like sculpture. Their behaviors are transformed by these ceaseless mini-floods.
Holoscenes is driven by the concern that our troubled relationship to water will become the central issue of the 21st century.
Lars Jan was an Artist in Residence at the Center for the Art of Performance at UCULA, where he worked on the development of Holoscenes for several months. A special installation of Holoscenes was commissioned by LENS (Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies) in collaboration with CAP UCLA and the Fowler Museum for the launch of LENS at Earth Now: Earth 2050, the UCLA Luskin Inaugural Symposium on 26 October 2016.
