EnChroma® glasses to enable guests with color vision deficiencies to see the vibrant, colorful collages of Eric Carle
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is the first art museum in Massachusetts to offer eyewear by EnChroma to visitors with color vision deficiencies, or “color blindness.” Beginning March 1, guests with color vision deficiencies can borrow special EnChroma glasses from The Carle to experience the Museum’s picture book art in clear, vibrant color for the first time. Eight pairs of eyewear are available, including glasses for both children and adults, indoor and outdoor use, and pairs adapted to fit over eyeglasses, through the EnChroma Color Accessibility Program™.
“Eric Carle said his painted papers were like his palette. His collages began by painting tissue paper with bright, acrylic paints, creating colorful patterns across each paper. And by partnering with EnChroma we can now offer glasses to color blind guests so they can better view those vibrant colors and designs, not only in the colorful collages of Eric Carle and other works in our collection, but outside appreciating nature in Bobbie’s Meadow,” said Courtney Waring, director of education.
One in 12 men (8%) and one in 200 women (.5%) are color vision deficient, which affects an estimated 13 million in the United States and 350 million worldwide. While people with normal color vision see over one million shades of color, those with color vision deficiency only see an estimated 10% of hues and shades. As a result, colors can appear muted, indistinct, and difficult to discern.

“The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and other works by Eric Carle, are some of the most iconic and colorful in children’s literature,” said Erik Ritchie, CEO of EnChroma. “And now, with the help of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, their color blind visitors will be able to fully enjoy his and other artist’s picture book illustrations in vivid color.”
Special optical filters in EnChroma glasses help color blind people perceive a wider range of colors and to see them more vividly and distinctly. A study by the University of California, Davis, and INSERM, the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research, demonstrated the effectiveness of EnChroma glasses. A separate recent study in the scientific publication Eye-Nature also highlights the benefits of the glasses.
EnChroma Color Accessibility Program™
EnChroma is the leading advocate for accessibility for those with color blindness. Nearly 200 public institutions—including libraries, schools, universities, national parks, gardens, tourism bureaus—participate to help color blind visitors more fully experience colors in art, nature, and overcome obstacles to learning. EnChroma donates a pair of glasses for every pair an organization purchases. EnChroma also provides materials for institutions to educate the public or teachers, students, and parents about color blindness and its effects. Organizations interested in joining the program can email accessiblity@enchroma.com.
More information can be found at enchroma.com. Additional media materials can be downloaded here. Photos of three color blind people trying the EnChroma glasses at the Eric Carle Museum on February 27 are available for media here.

“The war has created an influx of newly injured people in need of physical rehabilitation and mobility aids, and those with pre-existing mobility impairments need continued access to services and supplies,” said Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s Ukraine Country Director, Natalia Melnychenko.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 01, 2023
Momentum Wheels for Humanity, a global organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with physical disabilities, has announced a formal partnership with Ukraine’s Ministry of Health to enhance the accessibility and quality of rehabilitation care for injured and disabled Ukrainians.
With the signing of a memorandum of understanding on February 7, 2023, Momentum Wheels for Humanity and the Ministry of Health are taking concrete steps to build up the systems and workforce needed in Ukraine to provide long-term quality rehabilitation services and assistive technology (AT), including wheelchairs, prostheses, orthoses and a range of other mobility and daily living aids. The formal partnership builds on their long-time collaboration to ensure that Ukrainians with disabilities have access to essential care for their health and well-being.
Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s Executive Director, Kate Selengia, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating, “This partnership solidifies Ukraine’s commitment to its most vulnerable population. We will continue to work tirelessly to improve and increase Ukraine’s available rehabilitation services, ensuring that more people in need across Ukraine are able to access the services and products they need to recover from injury and to live as independently as possible.”
Viktor Liashko, the Minister of Health in Ukraine, expressed enthusiasm for Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s past contributions and ongoing commitment to support, stating, “Through its work in Ukraine, Momentum Wheels for Humanity has demonstrated its unique competencies in the area of AT and rehabilitation. Momentum Wheels for Humanity has positively impacted Ukraine’s rehabilitation sector, and we appreciate their contributions and partnership.”
Momentum Wheels for Humanity has worked in Ukraine for over 25 years, and since 2014 has supported the Ministry of Health to develop and strengthen rehabilitation services within the national health system through technical assistance and workforce development activities, including training, policy advisement, and in-depth capacity building within health facilities.
“The war has created an influx of newly injured people in need of physical rehabilitation and mobility aids, and those with pre-existing mobility impairments need continued access to services and supplies to ensure their health and safety,” said Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s Ukraine Country Director, Natalia Melnychenko. “In partnership with the Ministry of Health, and with our implementing partners, we are supporting the development of specialized rehabilitation services, providing humanitarian aid for persons with disabilities, and partnering with hospitals and universities to educate the next generation of physical and occupational therapists.”
Currently, Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s work includes establishing an assistive product distribution and training hub in Lviv that will address the unmet need for assistive products. The hub will store and dispatch wheelchairs and other assistive products to its network of partner health facilities and serve as a space for product demonstrations, service provision, and training. In partnership with the Ministry of Health, Momentum Wheels for Humanity will provide training and products to establish AT clinics within health facilities throughout western and central Ukraine.
Since the start of the conflict, gaps in capacity to provide rehabilitation to patients with spinal cord injuries have become more evident. Momentum Wheels for Humanity is working with the Lviv Territorial Medical Union Hospital (TMU) to establish a dedicated spinal cord injury unit, including providing technical guidance on setting up and equipping the unit and building the capacity of multidisciplinary teams of rehabilitation professionals and peer mentors working with spinal injury patients at TMU and other health facilities in Ukraine. Momentum Wheels for Humanity is also partnering with universities and government hospitals in Lviv, Kyiv, Lutsk, Ternopil, and Ivano Frankivsk to develop and enhance clinical education programs for physical and occupational therapists, which are critical to building a pipeline of qualified rehabilitation professionals.
Momentum Wheels for Humanity’s programs are generously funded by USAID, USAID’s Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance through Project Hope, and the Christian Blind Mission (CBM).

Named ‘Ralph-E’ after the company’s founder, Ralph Braun, the refurbished 1961 postal Jeep bridges the company’s history of innovation to the future of personal accessible travel.
Braun didn’t realize it at the time, but his personal invention was the foundation of the automotive mobility industry and would revolutionize accessibility for people with mobility challenges around the world.
INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)
March 01, 2023
When Ralph Braun purchased an old postal Jeep in 1966, he had one goal: find a way to make it both accessible and drivable from his battery-powered scooter. Braun lived with muscular dystrophy, and the disease was gradually stealing his strength. He needed a way to get himself and his battery-powered scooter – also his own invention – to and from his job at a local factory in his hometown of Winamac, Indiana. The result was the country’s first wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
Braun didn’t realize it at the time, but his personal invention was the foundation of the automotive mobility industry and would revolutionize accessibility for people with mobility challenges around the world. In 1972, Braun founded The Braun Corporation (today known as BraunAbility), and 50 years later his company is the global leader of automotive mobility solutions.
To recognize its 50th anniversary, the company issued an internal challenge: build a mobility solution that both honored the BraunAbility’s legacy of innovation and incorporate the future of mobility technology.
The answer to the challenge was Ralph-E, a reimagining of the original postal Jeep engineered with modern mobility equipment. The team located a 1961 Jeep identical to the original chassis, a rare Willy’s FJ-3 “Fleetvan.” The Jeep’s gas engine, fuel system, steering and suspension were removed, and the new custom frame was modeled after the original. The reengineered vehicle includes:
Ralph-E’s name and exterior design came from a company-wide competition, and submissions were voted on by long-time BraunAbility employees, some of whom were founding members of the company. Ralph-E is a nod to the company’s founder and the ‘E’ represents the electric drivetrain. The paint scheme reflects the original postal Jeep’s colors and includes former logos from Ralph’s company and a ghosted image of Ralph in the side windows.
Ralph-E will spend time displayed at the company’s headquarters in Carmel and Winamac, IN and is available for appearances at automotive mobility shows throughout 2023.
About BraunAbility
BraunAbility is the world’s leading manufacturer of mobility transportation solutions, including wheelchair accessible vehicles, wheelchair lifts and seating, storage and securement products. Founded nearly 50 years ago by Ralph Braun, an entrepreneur who spent most of his life in a wheelchair, the company has grown into the most well-known and trusted name in the mobility industry, bringing independence to millions of individuals across the world. BraunAbility is a wholly owned subsidiary to Patricia Industries, a division of Investor AB Group. Visit http://www.braunability.com for more information.

“Are we living in a world of wickedness that is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah? Is it possible that the United States of America has plunged from the greatest nation on the planet with endless opportunities for American dreams to a country that rivals the evil and adulterous ways of Nineveh?” Dr. Debra J. Dean often questions if the world today is as bad as it was when Noah built the ark or when the tower of Babylon was being built.
“Jesus Come Revive America: Forgive Us for We Have Sinned” (published by Archway Publishing) is a user-friendly approach to reading the Bible, understanding historical events, and practically implementing the Bible’s teachings in today’s world. It incorporates archeology, anthropology, geography, history, philosophy, sociology, and theology to help Americans prepare for the next Great Awakening. Here, Dean expands on the lives of regular people like Esther and Gideon, along with the Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ, to highlight how they were bold and courageous. In doing so, she reveals how people can apply the same zeal for God today as they prepare for revival and learn to live a holy lifestyle.
“This book will explain the issues I have personally faced as a Christian American woman. It will also share stories of others that quietly, fearfully, and reluctantly shared with me. Stories that need to be shared with a broader audience in the hopes of redirecting the course of religious freedom for our once great nation and most importantly, hope for the soul of each person that they may choose an eternity in heaven instead of suffering forever in hell,” Dean says.
When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Dean answered, “I pray this book will give you hope for the future, courage to be bold, and a sense of compassion for all people. I hope it will give you a sense of all sides of the issue and a heart to seek understanding. I also hope it will somehow unite people across the globe and bring civility to the nations. And, most importantly, I hope it will give rise to a rebirth of Christianity throughout the world, a spiritual revival of people deciding to live for Christ and seek their eternal home. An awakening that we desperately need.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/806740-jesus-come-revive-america

I was inspired to write this book because my words did not align with the Bible’s standards for Christians
CHICAGO (PRWEB)
March 01, 2023
Author Zachary Wayne Lavender helps Christians mature in the area of taming the tongue with A Restless Evil: Dental Danger ($12.49, paperback, 9781662867101; $5.99, e-book, 9781662867118).
What does it mean to take control of your tongue? Taking his cue from the book of James, Lavender expounds on the theme of restless (uncontrolled or unrestrained) tongues and the importance of words.
“I was inspired to write this book because my words did not align with the Bible’s standards for Christians,” said Lavender.
Zachary Lavender’s training was helmed by some of Chicago’s finest in choral, church, and vocal music. In addition, he has done extensive training in voice pedagogy at Roosevelt University/Chicago Musical College under the guidance of Mr. Robert Long and Ms. Ruth Ann Bishop. Throughout his fifty-year tenure as a church musician, Lavender has built a reputation for developing singers and musicians to perfect the church’s music ministry. He has continued to hone his skills as a composer, conductor, teacher, musician, and author.

CHAPTER 2
“Music has a way of removing all gaps and boundaries of separation between cultures, generations, and denominations. … The things that separate us from one another don’t seem as important when we are in God’s presence together,” said Sabrina Harrison, Co-Founder of AMEN Church and TRUE Music.
DALLAS (PRWEB)
February 28, 2023
AMEN Church — an urban nondenominational congregation in Dallas founded by local entrepreneurs and Christian worship leaders Dr. Field and Sabrina Harrison, hosted AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 2, a free worship night open to the Dallas community, on Sunday, February 26, 2023, at the Echo Lounge. The Harrisons are the Founders of several successful businesses and faith-based charitable organizations including, MINT dentistry, AMEN Church, and TRUE Music.
AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 2 was AMEN Church’s second worship event of the year featuring Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum-selling singer and songwriter Dante Bowe, along with Nate Diaz, Evvie Mckinney, and Aaron Moses. These worship nights, referred to as chapters, are held monthly to establish unity as a community through creative artistic expression. The performance song list included: Blood of the Lamb, Holy Ghost, I Can Do All Things, You Are, I Love Your Presence, Show Me Your Face, Forever Yours, and Hero.
AMEN Church hosts worship nights open to the public each month in partnership with TRUE Music, an independent music label pioneering new approaches to the signing and development of recording artists and songwriters.
“Musicians, songwriters, and artists are a dominant force in shaping culture,” said Sabrina Harrison, Co-Founder of AMEN Church, TRUE Music, and MINT dentistry. “Music has a way of removing all gaps and boundaries of separation between cultures, generations, and denominations. Through worship, we are all reminded of God’s goodness and strength in our lives. The things that separate us from one another don’t seem as important when we are in God’s presence together.”
Dante Bowe headlined the event. The artist, in partnership with Dr. Field and Sabrina Harrison, is the Co-Founder and CEO of TRUE Music. He has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Vogue.com, and BET. With TRUE Music, Bowe has recently released a new genre-defying single and anthem, Hide Me. “Hide Me was created in the middle of a storm,” says Bowe. “God revealed to me that He is in control and is the strong one in the middle of my weakness. And, through it, I’ve found a stronger Dante!”
The Hide Me single is an introduction to Bowe’s solo, cross-genre album scheduled to be released later this year entitled PRESS PLAY on his new TRUE Music record label. “I want this album to touch lives and bless people to the point where they can feel good again, have fun again, and feel a sense of freedom and peace,” said Bowe. AMEN NIGHTS CHAPTER 3 will take place in late March 2023. Admission is free, and all are welcome. For more information, go to http://www.theamenchurch.com.
