Problems Needed for Research Study.
Individuals who are totally blind with recurrent sleep or napping problems
are needed for a survey and/or clinical study. For each completed survey, a
donation of $25 will be made to organizations that support people with
blindness. Participants in a clinical study will be compensated for their time
and effort and will receive study medication, study-related medical evaluation
and transportation at no cost. Sleep problems and napping occur in some
individuals who are totally blind. This can be caused by the lack of light
needed to reset the “body clock”. The result is recurrent sleep problems
similar to jet lag.
Individuals may qualify for the survey or the clinical study if they:
• are between 18 and 75 years of age
• are totally blind
• have recurrent trouble sleeping at night or experience daytime sleepiness
or napping

1. Nature's Finest Bounty Offers Organic Coffee, Seeks to Showcase Products
Made by the Blind
Nature's Finest Bounty is a new website offering both premium organic coffee
and an opportunity for blind and visually impaired entrepreneurs. The coffee is
available in ten flavors and is available in both whole bean and ground form.
Money raised benefits the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan. In
addition, the site is looking to sell products made by blind entrepreneurs
ranging from preserves and soaps to music and artwork. For more information on
this, email marywurtzel@xxxxxxxx The website is linked from this post.
2. RFB&D Changes Its Name, Again
First it was Recording for the Blind. Then in 1995, the name was changed to
Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic to reflect the serving of additional
communities. But now, the mention of any sort of disability has been removed,
and the nonprofit is simply known as Learning Ally. "Our members have expressed
loud and clear that they don’t wish to be labeled or typecast with a specific
‘disability.’ They just want the same opportunities to succeed that others
enjoy. Our new name goes to the heart of supporting their desire to learn and
achieve," commented President and CEO Andrew Friedman. The name was selected
after months of research and focus groups, and is accompanied by anew website
at learningally.org. Learning Ally serves over 300,000 individuals with
learning differences and reading disabilities. Fun fact: The original
incorporated name for Learning Ally was National Committee for Recording for
the Blind.
