short story
Want to know the horoscope for the week (2.22-2.28)?
Last Sunday, Mercury resumed its transit, which was the end of the first wave of watery retrogrades for the year. Did you feel a sudden sense of relief? During the period of the water retrograde (since 1.31), we have experienced a lot of repetitions, unexpected events, and even things that have refreshed our outlook, especially teamwork, friends/lovers who may have had a lot of unpleasantness, or even felt a bit distant and unreliable. Next, it will all be adjusted and alleviated. Let's say goodbye to the lethargy of life after the New Year.

The school that created a city for the blind
At the age of eight, Leon Portz was gradually losing his eyesight due to a congenital condition when he was given his first computer. By the age of nine, he had figured out how to speed up the machine-generated voice that read out websites and other electronic texts, allowing him to grasp the information faster. He now listens to texts at five times the standard speed, which is unintelligible to an untrained ear.
