Mercer County Human Services wins grant to improve county service access for the hearing impaired

MERCER COUNTY — The Mercer County Office of Aging has been awarded the Open Communication Access grant from the State of New Jersey.

The Open Communication Access Grant will be used to fund the installation of hearing induction loops in public spaces. These spaces will include: The Mercer County Board of Social Services, The Mercer County Office of Aging, The County Connection, and The Mercer County Administration Building. In addition, two pilots will be conducted at the Library and the County Commissioner Hearing room.

Hearing induction loops allow people with hearing loss to easily participate in public spaces, simply by turning on the ‘t-coil’ switch on their hearing aids and cochlear implants. The larger spaces will have this technology hardwired, while smaller spaces will have portable kits as needed.

Upon receiving funding, a competitive RFP will be issued and a vendor will be secured. We expect the implementation to be completed by July 2024.

“As a legislator, I always championed accessibility initiatives,” said Mercer Executive Dan Benson, “I am proud of our staff here in Mercer County for securing this competitive grant to ensure we can provide quality services to as many residents as possible.”

“The Open Communication Access grant provides a wonderful opportunity to help us expand services to the hearing-impaired community,” said Deputy Administrator Taraun Tice McKnight “We are constantly looking for state and federal programs that will allow us to fund similar initiatives that expand services for Mercer County residents.”

Learn how to overrule negative thoughts with impactful ‘flipology’ method from life coach

SUGAR LAND, Texas — Is the key to happiness simply the ability to think about the world differently? Life coach, author and speaker Rob Cross suggests, “It’s not about what happens to you but what happens in you.”

 

“We’re all just stuck in a rut because of what we make things mean in our minds,” Cross said in a recent interview. “Your thinking is where it all starts. Flipping your thinking changes your life.”

 

In his transformational book Flip Your Thinking: To Ignite Your World, Cross shares the refreshingly simple yet radical approach to life he calls “flipology” to challenge readers to question their perspectives on 36 widely held assumptions that prevent people from having the lives they deserve.

 

“Your mind is so powerful that it not only shapes your perception of things, but it also convinces you that it’s the truth,” Cross said. “That becomes your reality. You alone determine what you make things mean.”

 

Cross’ quirky and relatable “flips” — My choice to forgive you sets ME free, not you; Love stays when I let it leave and leaves when I make it stay; To be heard I need to talk less — will have readers wondering if they’ve been viewing life backward and upside-down all along.

 

“I’m going to invite you to FLIP IT!” Cross quipped. “On the other side, you’ll have more love, more peace, and more business than you can shake a stick at!”

 

From how people define professional success to how they approach personal relationships, readers will discover that their circumstances today are outward displays of their inward thoughts and beliefs. So if life isn’t going according to plan, a crash course in flipology might be in order.

 

“It’s time to assign new meanings,” Cross said. “Garner the power of your thoughts. Real and lasting change starts by flipping your thinking before engaging your feet! If not, you’ll simply keep running in circles.”

 

A powerful “how to do life” read, Flip Your Thinking is packed with everyday fresh perspectives divided into four key categories: Flip What You Make Things Mean; Flip Your Approach to Life; Flip Your Choices; and Flip Your Destiny.

 

“I challenge you to approach this book as if you really don’t know everything you think you know,” Cross added. “Be open and curious. Be willing to question how you’ve been looking at things and how you’ve defined things. If you don’t like what you see in life, stand up and change your view. Gaining a new perspective can literally save your life. Happy flipping!”

 

About the Author

Rob Cross considers himself a regular guy who sees things outside the boundaries of conventional teaching. In college, he fought and scratched like a cat in a bathtub during those monologues, distancing himself from what he believed were confining definitions and structures. Cross uses his knack for taking life’s everyday challenges and whittling them down to simple, achievable solutions to make a positive and transformative impact on each and every one of his readers. He is also the author of Flip Your Mornings: Kick-start Each Day on Purpose!

‘Nocturnes’ review: A hypnotic documentary about moths unfolds to also reveal climate change concerns

Co-directors Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan craft an observational Indian nature doc that makes its case poetically and powerfully.

 

 

The nature documentary is inherently preservationist, but Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan’s “Nocturnes” offers environmental persuasions not through verbal arguments, or even an aesthetic appreciation.

 

Rather, its meditative, hyper-fixated approach to process — as seen through the eyes of seasoned lepidopterists — proves so hypnotic that any appeals or augments the movie makes are deeply felt before they’re intellectually understood. The pieces snap into place eventually (which is to say, the “why” of studying moths and their patterns), but the “how” is foregrounded so forcefully and poetically throughout that viewers will likely come to care about these creatures, and this field of study, well before they understand the very real and pressing reasons they should.

 

In northeastern India, bordering Bhutan, scientist Mansi and her indigenous assistant Bicki (belonging to the local Bugun tribe) partake in the nightly ritual of suspending a cloth sheet and illuminating it with bright lights in the middle of the forest. Slowly, but surely, hundreds of moths flock to this makeshift station, resting along the sheet’s checkered grid pattern so Mansi can observe, photograph, and eventually measure them.

 

Between her frequent voiceover and her instructions to Bicki, the audience learns a great deal about Mansi’s practice. We even meet an elderly man who appears to be her mentor, hinting at the depth of this scientific tradition, though there’s something intentionally stilted about her delivery. Mansi is not an actor, after all, but she’s given the role of one, both in her narrations, as well as in some of these interpersonal conversations. These appear to be staged for the camera, but contain thoughtful discussions and nuggets of truth, despite this docu-fictional appearance, and with the help of Nainita Desai’s heavy, wistful score, they become, in their own way, melodic.

 

However, more than via any of Mansi’s words, the movie’s arguments are made through images, silences and the sounds of nature. Fluttering wings and the echoes of trilling insects make up much of the serene soundscape, whether during close-ups of the moths — their texture, their patterns, their vibrating movements when they sit still are all intriguing to observe — or during wide shots of the scientists’ setup glowing in the darkened forest, drawing us toward it, not unlike the moths themselves.

 

These nighttime scenes are provided with ingenious contrast during intervening mornings, made up largely of establishing shots of green mountainsides and nearby communities, captured from afar. Cinematographer Satya Rai Nagpaul films these clarifying scenes through morning fog, giving them an ethereal quality as morning prayers ring out like harmonized insect hums, but the camera rarely approaches human beings or settlements.

 

Instead, it observes from a distance, as though it were performing an anthropological study too, and in the process, it creates intrinsic aesthetic connections between the lives of people and the lives of moths, hidden away from us, in ways we need to lean forward to observe and understand. Long before Mansi delivers a lecture on the specifics of her studies and their overlap with global climate change, the moths feel monumentally important, and deeply connected to us.

 

Dutta and Srinivasan have effectively reverse-engineered an aesthetic approach from the basic concept at the heart of these entomologic studies, with sheets painted in light as the central object of allure for the moths, and for the audience. Humans have been around a mere fraction of the time that moths have — despite their individual life spans of less than a week — and for an even smaller portion of our existence, light projected onto fabric at 24 frames per second has monopolized our collective attention. “Nocturnes” takes full advantage of this for an altruistic cause, resulting in a documentary that is immediately, powerfully, and above all cinematically convincing.

New tea store, Bardo Tea, opens in Portland’s Concordia neighborhood

Ravi Kroesen and Veronika Vogler have opened Bardo Tea’s first retail location this month.

 

PORTLAND, Ore. — Bardo Tea today announced it has opened its first retail location in Portland’s Concordia neighborhood.

 

Bardo Tea’s brick-and-mortar store offers a full line of high-quality single-origin teas and premium blends for retail and wholesale purchase, curated teaware, small batch-produced incense from Asia, and lifestyle products for the fashion- and health-conscious.

 

Going beyond the classic boutique model, Bardo Tea’s structure boasts three segmented spaces—all designed for a distinct and superb tasting experience that accentuates the nuance and complexity of each tea.

 

Kroesen explains, “The purpose of Bardo Tea is to change the mold. From the moment you step into the space, you’ll be welcomed by a converted carriage house split into three rooms—each providing a unique tea drinking experience with teas served in high-end teaware to honor each sip. No milk, sweeteners, or additives. Just tea and water.”

 

Kroesen—who worked as Smith Tea’s Head Teamaker for five years—has spent over two decades in the tea industry, traveling throughout the world to learn from and connect with tea growers, processers and experts.

 

Veronika Vogler, long-time mindfulness facilitator and co-founder, remarks, “At Bardo, we encourage you to take time and be present with the tea you are drinking,” she shares.

 

“As the leaves unfold, you go on a journey. You sit with the clay pot, the boiling water, the tea leaves, and you recognize that it all communicates. The flavor of tea deepens with every pour, and over time it unlocks that language.”

 

Vogler has integrated tea with meditation for the last decade, focusing on tasting teas mindfully over the course of multiple steeps.

 

About Bardo Tea:

Bardo Tea is a Portland-based retail and wholesale tea supplier. Offering a wide variety of high-quality teas and teaware, Bardo weaves the story that connects the soil to the farmer, the tea, and the cup. Bardo Tea commits to working toward equal representation by supporting women’s roles in tea beyond the picking of the leaf by actively building relationships with female tea farmers and supporting them as tea growers.

A BlackCat ransomware gang website shows takedown notice; the UK NCA denies involvement, experts suggest an exit scam after an alleged UnitedHealth payment 

—  A website used by hackers responsible for a breach at UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N) has been replaced by a notice saying it has been seized by international law enforcement.

 

Reuters:

 

 

WASHINGTON, (Reuters) — The hackers responsible for the breach at UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N), opens new tab appear to have pulled a disappearing act on Tuesday, leaving their cybercriminal associates in the lurch and replacing their old website with a bogus statement from law enforcement.
The corporate logo of the UnitedHealth Group appears on the side of one of their office buildings in Santa Ana, California, U.S., April 13, 2020. REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights
The U.S. insurer disclosed on Feb. 21 that Blackcat hacking gang – also known as ALPHV – had perpetrated a cyberattack on its technology unit Change Healthcare, causing disruptions across the U.S. healthcare system.

 

A message posted to Blackcat’s website said it had been impounded “as part of a coordinated law enforcement action” by U.S. authorities and other law enforcement agencies. Among the logos of non-American agencies involved were those of Europol and Britain’s National Crime Agency.
The FBI declined comment and Europol did not return messages, but a National Crime Agency spokesperson said: “I can confirm any recent disruption to ALPHV infrastructure is not a result of NCA activity.”

 

Blackcat has not responded to Reuters requests for comment in several days.
Security experts said the law enforcement denial and other clues made it look like the hackers had simply decided to shut up shop.
“This appears to be a classic exit scam,” said researcher Will Thomas. In an exit scam, hackers pretend to be knocked out of commission only to quietly pocket their partners’ money and start over under a new name.

WARREN, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Tevogen Bio Holdings – Tevogen (Nasdaq: TVGN) Chief Information Officer and Head of company’s Artificial Intelligence Initiative, Tevogen.ai, Mittul Mehta, has taken strides to emphasize the importance of proactive talent development for biopharmaceutical sector to allow rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).
