Co w praktyce oznacza dostępność instytucji kultury i sztuki? Jak galerie i muzea powinny się przygotowywać do realizacji postulatu otwartości dla wszystkich, także osób ze specjalnymi potrzebami? O tym, przy okazji ogłoszenia wyników II edycji Ogólnopolskiego Programu Dotacyjnego Artystyczna Podróż Hestii, którego hasło „Czas otwarcia” podkreśla kwestie otwartości, rozmawiamy z Anią Żórawską, prezeską Fundacji Kultury bez Barier i członkinią Rady Doradczej programu APH. Zgłoszone projekty musiały, oprócz pomysłu na wystawę, proponować konkretne działania na rzecz osób niepełnosprawnych ze względu na różnorodne ograniczenia: ruchowe, słuchu, wzroku, sprawności intelektualnej. Oprócz diagnozy stanu zapewniania dostępności przez instytucje kultury, rozmawiamy także m.in. o tym jak otworzyć instytucję na uczestnictwo osób neuroatypowych.

One of the most debilitating aspects of dementia is the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) that impact nearly 90% of patients. These symptoms significantly diminish the quality of life and functional abilities of those affected. To combat the most severe of these symptoms, antipsychotic medications are often prescribed, but not without possibly harmful consequences. A new study sheds additional light on these detrimental consequences. Guest Authors:  Melissa C. Palmer, PharmD, BCPS, BCPP and Jessa Marie Koch, PharmD, APh, BCPP Music by Good Talk

According to its website, “BrailleBlaster™ is a braille transcription program developed by the American Printing House for the Blind to help transcribers provide blind students with braille textbooks on the first day of class.” It uses markup from source documents to automate formatting, and provides “tools to make advanced tasks quicker and easier.” Although it is “Designed primarily for editing textbooks that meet the specifications published by the Braille Authority of North America,” the adoption of Unified English Braile in most English-speaking countries makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications in many parts of the world. It is free of charge and compatible with virtually all braille embossers. On Tuesday 20 February 2024, we were delighted to be joined by two representatives from APH to introduce us to BrailleBlaster and demonstrate some of its features: Willow Free is the Tactile Technology Product Manager and based in the United States Michael Whapples is the Lead Developer of BrailleBlaster and based in the United Kingdom

Saturday, 8 June 2024   And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him. Acts 28:8   The Greek, even if a tad clunky, more literally reads, “And it was, the father of Publius – afflicted with fevers and dysentery – who, lying toward Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him” (CG).   In the previous verse, Luke noted that there was a portion of land where the first of the island, Publius, lived. He invited Paul and others to stay with him for three days. Remembering that, it now says, “And it was.”   The Greek word egeneto is used to show the transition from one thing to another. In this, we can see that the divine hand is guiding the events of the matter. This transitional thought is then explained by Luke with the words, “the father of Publius – afflicted with fevers and dysentery.”   Publius has brought Paul, Luke, and whoever else was with them into his house. At some point, it was relayed to them that Publius' father was sick. The word translated as “fever” is in the plural. This plural use of “fevers” is believed to indicate a recurrent fever.   As such, it was a malady that afflicted him regularly. Along with his fevers, he had a case of dysentery. It is a word found only here in the New Testament, dusenterion. Luke is giving a precise medical diagnosis of the situation.   Ellicott notes that the plural “fevers” in “combination with dysentery would, according to Hippocrates, who also uses the plural form (Aph. vi. 3), make the case more than usually critical.” In his situation, it says using multiple participles which makes the narrative quite exciting, “who, lying toward Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him.”   It is carefully noted that as soon as Paul entered, he prayed. At the same time, he laid hands on the sick man. All of this was done in a carefully recorded way to show an absolute connection between Paul's actions and the man's healing.   This is especially noted by Luke to show that Paul had subordinated himself to the Lord. It is likely that this was stated here to show the contrast to the claim in the previous account just a couple of verses earlier that he was called a god by the locals.    This verse parallels the account of Peter in Acts 9:32-35. For further insights concerning this, refer to James 5:14, 15. Also, notice the very close sequence of events in this account of Paul's snake bite and then healing of this man in comparison to Mark 16:18.   In the previous verse, Publius was first noted in the Bible. Now, he is seen for the second and last time. This is actually noteworthy because in just a couple of verses, it will say that the duration of their time on Malta is a full three months.   Life application: We are told here that Paul prayed, laid hands on the sick man, and he was healed. The next verse will speak about more healings. By incorrectly taking these verses in a prescriptive manner, many have assumed that we too have been given such powers without any limits at all.   They claim healing over others as if they have a right to demand things from the Lord, or as if they are divine conduits for the powers of healing to flow through them. This is completely contrary to what is actually the case. It is presumptuous and it is a sinful attitude.   Paul was unable to heal himself and several others as is clearly indicated in his epistles. And more, Scripture never indicates that we have been given the apostolic powers of healing.   Rather, we have been given the intelligence to produce medicines. Also, societies have developed institutions to educate people to be doctors and nurses. We have likewise been given the honor to pray for the healing of others. If it is in the Lord's will to respond favorably, He will. But we should never claim such things as if we have the authority to tell the Spirit how and when to heal.   Use reason and intelligence when you pray for yourself and others. And, if you really want to be a part of the healing of others, go to school and learn how to do so. You can have a lifetime of positive effects on others, both physically and spiritually if you are willing to put forth the effort.   Lord God, thank You for our doctors, nurses, and others who are in the business of healing others. And thank You that we can also come to You for healing when it is in Your will to respond. May we never accuse You in our hearts when others get sick and die, knowing that this is a fallen world. In Christ, however, we have an eternal hope of life and health ahead of us! Amen.

A little bit of kumbya goes a long way when you have to present to a joint Parliamentary committee, asking them to help save your struggling business model. Hello darlings - Robbo is out sick this week, so Rob and Molk welcome back super-sub and producer to the stars Abbey to the podcast! Also, despite all the encouragement we've returned in simultaneous video and audio format with the livestream. You allegedly wanted it - we finally did it!Livestreamed every Tuesday night in season from 8pm AEDT/7pm AEST/etc., you can watch live on the TV Blackbox Facebook page or YouTube channel. We'd absolutely love it if you joined in - as many did - by commenting on the livestream and we've included just a sampling in the episode to help punctuate our conversation. We're so glad so many of you turned up again.For those with the songs of Taylor Swift still ringing in their ears, here's the big topics of the week (as decided on by us)...It was a unique day in the Australian TV landscape where pretty much every executive in the country to do with free-to-air TV - ABC MD David Anderson ; SBS MD James Taylor; Commercial FTA CEOs James Warburton, Mike Sneesby, and Beverley McGarvey; Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany; Fetch CEO Scott Lorsen; and a bunch of others - all fronted up on a joint Parliamentary enquiry to offer their submissions and answer questions on the proposed Prominence legislation. It's serious business and not an easy solve - if the legislation doesn't happen, will it kill Australian FTA TV? Didn't they do that to themselves already?! (If you missed it and want to check the entire day's submissions and questions, you can watch it all here on the APH website. It's actually mostly interesting for almost all of it.)The tragedy of the death of Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies has hit the Australian media industry hard.

Soul food has its roots in the culinary traditions of Black Americans and African diaspora communities in the southern United States, and it plays a crucial role in preserving Black history. But given the impact of racism and colonialism in the US food system on Black people, what should soul food look like today? In this week's episode, Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter joins Melanie and Evanna to talk about his book The Spirit of Soul Food: Race, Faith, & Food Justice, which unpacks the connections between food injustice and racial injustice. They discuss how decolonizing soul food offers a way to reclaim culinary history and human dignity for Black communities; the importance of advocating for a more equitable food system and future while upholding the values of compassion, love, justice, and solidarity for the marginalized; and what a movement toward Black food sovereignty might look like. Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter's research, teaching, and activist interests are in Black, womanist, and environmental ethics, with a particular focus on race, food, and nonhuman animals. His publications include The Spirit of Soul Food: Race, Faith, & Food Justice; “Blood in the Soil: The Racial, Racist, and Religious Dimensions of Environmentalism,” in The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Nature; and the coedited volume The Future of Meat without Animals. In them, he explores the intersectional oppressions experienced by BIPOC, nonhuman nature, and animals. He's an Associate Professor of Theology at the University of San Diego and Lead Pastor of The Loft at Westwood United Methodist Church. He's also on the board of directors of Farm Forward, an anti-factory farming nonprofit. Evanna mentions The Food Empowerment Project's Chocolate List. Christopher mentions the book Afroism by Aph and Syl Ko. Visit Christopher's website and check out his book "The Spirit of Soul Food: Race, Faith, & Food Justice".

From the 2023 NFB Convention in Houston Texas, Blind Abilities podcast host Simon Bonenfant spoke with Greg Stilson, Head of Global Innovation at American Printing House for the Blind (APH). Greg first takes listeners through the new Monarch Tactile Display. This braille display is a partnership between APH, Humanware, and the NFB. Greg also gives an overview of APH's other offerings such as the Mantis and Chameleon braille displays, and the low-vision magnification devices such as the Juno and Jupiter  as well as the Matt Connect Android Tablet.   Additionally, Greg discusses the recently released Code Jumper, and Road to Code a set of tools designed to help blind people learn how to code. Greg closes the interview by talking about his personal journey through blindness and technology and how his experience is an asset to his current work at APH.   Read More

It is really crucial that many of you join us because we are going to explore an issue that will become increasingly important over the next few years. During the ACB convention just completed the Braille Revival League sponsored a session that allowed those who were there to at least get to touch a new device that is being developed by the American Printing House for the Blind and Humanware. The device is called the Monarch and is the latest in a series of devices that will eventually make the inclusion of tactile graphics in education a commonplace. Starting this Fall devices will be made available to teachers who agree to train in their use. At our presentation and in other places, APH has said they would like to see these devices in the hands of all blind students in the United States. The devices will allow braille reading and, eventually, audio reading. They will allow tactile graphics to be created. APH already has a library of such graphics but it appears that there will need to be the production of lots more "pictures" that are not too intricate for people who are blind to understand the representation the Monarch can bring. Clearly a decision has been made that children who are blind, if properly introduced to the subject, can comprehend and benefit from tactile graphics. Is this true? Can people born without vision understand pictures? The issue is broader than just these machines! Museums, art galleries and art classes are trying to create tactile representations of great art. There are audio descriptions of great art that attempt to explain why a painting or a sculpture has appeal. How effective have these efforts been? Audio description, the electronic depiction of pictures in the class room and perhaps even a discussion of whether the absence of vision makes understanding the visual arts impossible are all parts of the question of people who are blind "seeing" pictures. Where do you stand? Do people with partial vision have the ability to bridge the gap? Can totally blind people who lose their sight later help us understand the many questions that surround making the visual comprehensible? We need your opinions and, after the program is over, we need your continued involvement in coming to terms with one of the newest and most innovative options to emerge for people who are blind.

Simple yet Savvy: Principles to Navigate Business TransitionsOur episode today featured Amy Kiefer, President of Automotive Parts Headquarters, or APH.  Amy was hired by APH just 6 months ago as the company's first non-family member President! The company is over 100 years old and in its 3rd Generation, so that says a lot about the value the owners believe she brings to the table. Amy's background spans several years involving a variety of roles, from Private Equity, to ESOP to Family Business, and all aligned with her unique skills in bringing strategy and execution with a fresh perspective on what matters most. Her "simple, yet savvy principles" are not your typical methods for implementing and accomplishing objectives, although there's a process for that. However, they are principles that strongly impact her work as a leader, thinker and growth strategist, and are the bedrock for how she operates in her role. They are:RespectAppreciationTrustFor Amy, these principles are integral to fostering new relationships, growing existing ones and utilizing strong, consistent communication in her organization. When these principles are lived out by key decision makers, the company not only grows but flourishes, and in more ways than just what lands on the P&L. Amy says that establishing these principles has made all the difference for her especially when changes and pivots are required in order to continue a growth trajectory. We're living in some uncertain times, so having respect, appreciation and trust as the foundation for making decisions provides a certain peace of mind that allows for clearer thinking, planning and implementing. You can find Amy here - Have a listen to the interview now! Thank you to our show sponsors!  Sunbelt Business Advisors and Trust PointAre you ready for your best exit?

Jonathan Lucus visits the SnapCast to talk about NSITE, placing individuals who are blind or have low vision in great jobs, and partnering with corporations to make it easier to hire, onboard, and retain these individuals.  They offer training programs for workers who are seeking to get into (or back into) positions in IT, finance, HR... NSITE also works directly with businesses to assure that their new hire is a good fit and that they are seamlessly incorporated into their workforce. Many blind/low vision job candidates are well-qualified for a position, but are overlooked at a time when businesses are struggling to fill important positions. This attitude of “too difficult to incorporate someone who is blind or low vision into our workplace” really needs to change, because with technology today, it simply isn't true. It throws up barriers to employment for an employee It is important to remember that the benefits of hiring a DEI candidate who has a disability goes well beyond meeting an internal DEI goal. In today's world, diversity is a competitive advantage. Diversity of thought is incredibly important. Different lived experiences, different perspectives, different ways of working – these are all critical points in a workplace no matter what industry a company is in. Partnering with some of the best organizations in the business to assure that our classes are accessible for those who are blind or low vision such as APH, Google, Baker Communications, and Cisco. We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon. We welcome your questions and feedback via The Nonprofit Snapshot website.
