"I HAVE AN ALBINO CHILD, WHAT DO I DO?. . ."

From the article, BLACK MOTHER, BLACK FATHER, WHITE CHILD, WHO IS TO BLAME?, it has been well established that albinism isn't a curse, neither is it a taboo. Have that behind your mind.

If this breaks your heart, I'm so sorry, but I just have to say it anyways. There is NO cure for albinism. HOWEVER, there are things you can do to help your child.

HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO. . .

Albinism comes with a lot of other health issues, like, eye problems (e.g poor vision, squinting eyes, nystagmus, etc), skin problems, and other allergies might be involved too.
Also NOTE!!!

Due to the lack of the melanin pigment in their skin, they are at increased risk of sunburn and skin cancer, which are caused by sunlight damaging the skin.

About the eye problems, it is strongly advised that you take the child for regular visit to an optician or ophthalmologist. They are in the best position to examine and profer the best solutions to whatever the case may be.

Also, make sure you prevent the child from going out when it is very hot and the sun is at its strongest (between 11am and 3pm). And you can always wear them clothes that cover up their skins well. 
 

 
And most of all, LOVE YOUR CHILD. S/he needs so much of care, attention, and affection from you.

BUT YOU NEED TO HELP YOURSELF TOO. . .

If you have a history of albinism in your family, or you have a child with the condition, you are advised to go for genetic counselling.

Genetic counselling is a service that provides support, information and advice about genetic conditions.

Genetic testing can be used to find out whether a person is carrying a specific genetic mutation (altered gene) that causes a particular medical condition.

An adult or child diagnosed with albinism may also be referred for genetic counselling to discuss how the condition was inherited and what the chances are of passing the condition on.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
