Vencer Cotton may not have his sight, but he does have his skills and tool to help him get though everyday life. “I started using a cane at 5 and started using braille a couple years later,” Cotton says. Now, thanks to technology, Cotton gets even more help, especially when it comes to shopping. Cotton uses the video call-based service called Be My Eyes, which uses a volunteer helper on the other end, to assist him in shopping for specific items. The help on the other end of the line helps Cotton navigate stores to find the items he needs. The app hosts a network of over a million volunteers in 150 countries. It’s used by more than 100,000 people living with blindness or visual impairment. It's free to sign up to be a helper, and it’s free for people, like Cotton, to use if they need visual help. “They're very helpful for identifying packages or items in your cabinet or expiration dates on perishables in your refrigerator,” Cotton says. Cotton uses the app at least twice a week to help him while he's on the go. Rather than asking someone at the store for help, Cotton says this makes him feel more independent. It also helps him connect with people in a beneficial way for all. “Technology can in fact bring us closer together, rather than making us be farther apart,” he says.There are other paid versions of apps with similar capabilities, but Be My Eyes is free! Volunteers are needed. If interested in signing up, visit 1456

A federal grand jury is investigating Harvard University's fencing coach after he sold his Massachusetts home in 2016 to a wealthy businessman whose son was actively looking to apply to the school, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.US Attorney Eric S. Rosen, who is leading the nationwide college admissions scandal investigation, sent a subpoena to the Needham Board of Assessors in April, asking the town for years of documents and records related to the property, the source confirmed.The source also confirmed details of the subpoena's cover letter."Pursuant to an official investigation being conducted by a federal Grand Jury in the District of Massachusetts of suspected violations of federal criminal law, you are directed to furnish to the Grand Jury the documents described in the attached subpoena."In 2016, coach Peter Brand sold his home in Needham, Massachusetts, for almost twice what a tax document said it was worth. Harvard is conducting an independent review of that transaction.Jie Zhao bought Brand's home for 9,500, according to the deed. At the time, he had a son on the Harvard fencing team and one in high school, the Boston Globe reported.However, a municipal lien certificate indicates the home was worth just under 0,000. Zhao sold the property about 17 months later at a loss of over 0,000.Following the sale of his home in Needham, Brand purchased a condominium in Cambridge.Zhao's lawyer, William D. Weinreb, told the Globe on Tuesday, that they're "not aware of any criminal investigation."Brand's lawyer, Douglas S. Brooks, told CNN Tuesday evening, "We have not received any inquiry from the US Attorney's Office or any other law enforcement agency, and we are unaware of any such investigation. To be clear, Coach Brand unequivocally denies any wrongdoing."Brand was appointed as Harvard's head fencing coach in 1999, moving from a role at Brown University. He emigrated from Israel to the US as a teenager and has coached the Harvard team to unprecedented success, according to Harvard's website."Harvard's rise to the top of intercollegiate fencing has been nothing short of meteoric since Brand has been at the helm of the program," his Harvard profile reads.In previous interviews with the Boston Globe, Zhao has denied anything unusual about his property purchase and insisted that he bought the property as an investment and as a favor for his friend, the coach.According to the Globe, Zhao has two sons, one who was admitted to Harvard as a fencer in 2017. The other son, also a fencer according to the Globe, graduated last year.In April, 2627
