The humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean in the middle of the 2016 Pulitzer for photography

The refugee crisis in the Mediterranean is an issue that unfortunately continues to fill the news pages. It is easy to imagine that some of the journalistic works of the most important photo mold the year there are many who have told just this humanitarian emergency.

I had already seen as the World Press Photo had triumphed a shot that had immortalized their way across the border to some migrants. Even the Pulitzer prizes have followed the same path and the two winning works in photographic categories went to photographers of the New York Times Mauricio Lima, Sergey Ponomarev, Tyler Hicks and Daniel Etter in the section and in the Breaking News Photography Photography Staff to Thomson Reuters team , which had treated the same theme in their shots.

The shots are united by different sections and tell many phases of the difficult path of people who have fled their country. The overcrowded boats, fathers who are trying to rescue the children after the vehicle overturning, the march to the borders of Europe, the rejections of the police, border crossings of entire families under the barbed wire and, unfortunately, even the photos of those who do not have it done and are now dead bodies from the sea on the beaches of the Greek islands.

In the field of photography it was also awarded the Jessica Rinaldi Boston Globe work in Feature Photography section for the story in pictures of the difficult life of an American child of Maine, in search of her way after suffering violence by close family members.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
