Behrakis Grand Hall
The Drexel University Department of Psychology is pleased to announce our next Colloquium Series speaker:
Jean King, Ph.D.
Dr. Jean King holds a doctorate in Biology/Neuroscience from New York University. She has published over 60 original scientific papers in highly respected scientific journals, over 10 chapters in books and review articles in major neurophysiology journals, and is an editor of the New York Academy of Sciences Publication, "Roots of Mental Illness in Children". She has been a scientific consultant for the NSF and NIH as well as the Veterans Administration. Currently, she serves as Associate Provost of Biomedical Science Research, Professor of Psychiatry, and Director of the Center for Comparative NeuroImaging at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Her research aims to build and expand excellence in comparative neuroimaging (all species from mice to humans) through promotion of translational research approaches focused on the understanding and treatment of disease processes, with particular emphasis on stress-induced mental health disorders.
Colloquium Presentation:
It is known that there is a higher prevalence of substance use (e.g., nicotine and marijuana) in disorders like Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We believe that gaining an understanding of how these substances impact both the structure and function of the brain may better position us to identify therapies to treat these complex co-morbidities. To this end, our lab utilizes multi-modal imaging techniques to probe the impact of drugs on brain neuroplasticity in both preclinical models and humans with/without ADHD.

TravelPod Member ReviewsBEST WESTERN Premier L'Horset Opera Paris
This is not your typical Best Western, if you have Best Western points I suggest you use them here. Other then the fact the hotel letterhead has the Best Western logo on it, you wouldn't know it.
The Best Western L'Horset Opera is a small boutique hotel with a bar area, a small free continental breakfast for guests, elevator and nice size rooms. Our room was clean, new bathrooms and beds were comfortable. It can be difficult to find a boutique hotel with king size beds however this hotel does offer them.
Its located in a small alley close to the theatres, luxury stores, cafes and the Louvre Museum.
This is a higher priced hotel but worth the money for the comfort it provides.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Premier L'Horset Opera Paris
Great Hotel & Location
Thanks to all the previous trip advisor reviews we stayed here and loved it! The kind staff at the hotel were exceptional. They truly made our stay enjoyable. This was my 5th time to Paris and by far the best place I've stayed.
The location was perfect for walking to almost all the major sites and great for shopping. We did not take the metro due to pick pockets and recent events in London so location was important to us.
We stayed on the non-smoking floor(6). The room was very small but quite adequate. The bathroom was very nice, recently remodeled.
Be sure to eat at the Grand Cafe, an upscale brasserie, near the hotel. The seafood, onion soup, and desert were very good.
Definitely one to return to.
The rooms are quite small and the bathroom a bit cramped but that is usually the way with Paris hotels. However, it was very clean, the beds very spacious considering the size of the room (at least 6' wide!) and when we were in Paris the temperature was about 32 degrees Celsius but the air conditioning in the room worked marvellously. Also the air conditioning wasn't too noisy so it was ok to have it on it's middle setting all night which ensured a very good night's sleep. Some hotels have air conditioning which will only work while you are in the room but here it was left on all day.
Our room was on the top floor (level 6) and at the back so the view was of the back of another building but that did mean it was quiet. The continential breakfast is a little uninspiring but not bad. The lifts are quite slow. The staff are friendly and helpful and were happy to look after our bags on our last day in Paris. Check out is by noon, but we left our bags safely behind reception from about 10 - 4 on the last day so we could do some sightseeing unemcumbered.
Although it is very centrally located we did find that it seemed a long way to walk anywhere but I think that was mainly due to the heat and unsuitable shoes! I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles, but it doesn't make for ideal sightseeing weather.
If you like professional, helpful, reliable, sterile and impersonal, then this is the hotel for you. We will definitely return to this hotel soon.
Stay here!
I echo the opinion of other reviewers about the splendid condition and the great location of this hotel. But what really impressed me was the friendliness and the helpfulness of the staff. They are always smiling! Their advice and directions helped make our very first visit to Paris a memorable one. Stay here.
Lovely hotel
This is a lovely hotel and we enjoyed our stay here. The staff were not very friendly, but the pretty room and great location made up for this. The rooms were not overly big but were cute, the breakfast was not nice but this didn't matter with lot's of cafes in the area.
Great Hotel, Location and Excellent Staff
Good hotel.
In a nice neighbourhood - close to Metro (Opera), shopping (Gallerie), Louvre, Champs Elysees etc. We were able to walk to all the major attractions.
The staff was very helpful and conversed in good English.
WiFi access (with extra charge) and FREE breakfast that was very good.
Nice clean room.
Great Location, Friendly Staff, Small Room
This was my first trip to Paris and we stayed only one night, but we found this hotel to be perfect for our purposes. Only 2 blocks from the Metro and in a great neighborhood for walking, we would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful (we speak no French).
The room we had would be small for a long stay with large suitcases, (typical for large cities) but it was very clean and newly renovated. The only drawback was the "king" bed was actually two twins pushed together. I would recommend getting a room on the street as the interior rooms simply look into a dark space between the buildings.
Nice hotel
We booked this hotel on Expedia. Nice hotel, very good location (quartier chic) small but nice room with wifi connection, helpfull staff (we speak french). Very good 3* hotel for the price in Paris. october 29 to nov 3.
Nicely located, quiet with nice service
This was our first trip to Paris at the tail end of a business trip (April 2004). We chose the hotel because we had Best Western points that came with our air package. We spent 4 days and enjoyed it very much. The rooms are small but clean and well appointed. Location was very nice at one block from the Opera house and was very convenient for picking up the red bus for touring. The Louvre was an easy walk and many shops for brousing. Many restaurants nearby to choose from. The complimentary breakfast was nicely appointed and the staff was eager to please. We changed rooms to one that looked over the front street so that we could see what was going on (though the street was a side one and actually not much was going on). The first room offered faced the back of another building so it was quieter but not as interesting. I suspect that rooms are of different sizes so you may want to ask for a larger one at check-in. We are fairly particular about cleanliness and service and usually stay at more luxurious hotels but this one was very nice and we would recommend it.
Great hotel, great location, great staff.
Stayed again at hotel l'Horset Opera for a Weekend in Mid October. Excellent location near the Opera Garnier and Louvre Museum, just steps away from all of the department stores and the fashion boutiques. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our recently renovated room was clean and comfortable, had air-conditioning, and Internet wireless connection.
The whole staff is very detail-oriented. The man at the front desk helped us plan many tours and made reservations in very nice and good restaurants.
There is a metro station (Opera station) conveniently at 2 minutes walk from the hotel, which will take you anywhere in Paris in a matter of minutes. Very convenient for the Roissy bus from Charles de Gaulle Airport, which stops at Place de l'Opera.
Also, there is a RER stop right there, and several different metro stops on many of the major lines within a few blocks, thus I've always found this to be the connected area of Paris. Great for business travel!
I highly recommend this hotel and we are planning to go back next month for christmas shopping!
Loves the Hotel L'Horset Opera
This small but private hotel in the Opera area, near Galleries Lafayette was a great place to stay. It provided a convenient and quiet location. Our recently renovated room overlooked a seldom used one way side street yet was minutes from shopping or a short walk to the Louvre. Our ample continental breakfast included a variety of cheeses, fruits and other choices. The room service was limited, although they would deliver the same breakfast to your room at no additional charge. Limited restaurant service here but we planned to dine out anyway. My husband had a few problems getting the WiFi system to work but eventually got his internet connection. The Roissy bus from Charles DeGalle comes directly to the back of L'Opera Place, a few blocks away. This is a great weekend away spot. Because its relatively new, it wasn't listed on any of the other Tripadvisor spots. It should be on them as a wonderful option. We would go back in a minute!

Some of my Collection - Thought I would share
This is some of my collection and hoping for lots of blooms on many of my seedlings.
Just trying out my Photobucket acct. for multiple photo's.
This is my Somalense (sold as, still out until I see a flower)
Thank you. Lots of enjoyment here.
Mark, it would be a cold frame structure raised off the ground by 3 1/2' with mesh floor. I have a greenhouse (unheated) also, but trees close by are starting to block some of the light. Can't take them down.
This mini greenhouse is on south east side of house and gets sun all day long. Like to have roof on, because then I control when and with what they get watered with. I keep quite a few on both decks also.
I don't have room in my greenhouse Marie, but if I did I would snaffle some of yours in a heart beat. These things are crazy. I keep saying no, but somehow I keep starting more. What can I say. Crazy, He!.
I wish it where easier for me to send plants to many of my friends here on GW from here (Canada).
Many moons ago a friend gave us so many plants or cuttings and now the sharing and giving is my time to give back. This is the part of gardening that makes it so special to me.
You are all very special to me.
Thanks, Rick
Wonderful collection, as others have said, so clean and healthy. Interesting to see you have some outdoors. As you are in Canada you must be on a similar latitude to me, 53 degrees north, but you have warmer summers I think. They are obviously responding to the care you give.

Hey guys, this one just became available to drink and am stoked on how it turned out! So much so, I thought I'd share(my first time), any feedback is welcome.
This brew has really nice bitterness and is a bit sweeter then your average IPA, but I think that pairs nicely with the lower ABV(4%), perfect session IPA. Aroma is sweet, with lots of passion-fruit notes from the galaxy hops and and a bit of orange, if you look for it. I reckon flavor is well rounded and finishes nicely. Mouth feel is a bit 'watery' and head lacked a little, but overall really happy!

you going to need you car to go to La croisette , little bit outside the night life of Cannes
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I stayed here during the Cannes Film Festival and it was an excellent hotel. The rooms were expensive but very nice. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and the overall service was excellent. During the film festival the hotel offers a special all day free shuttle to and from the festival. It's great!
The only bad things are for some reason the centrally controlled high-tech air conditioning system does not really cool down the room adequately. And the drinks by the pool were outrageously expensive and the bartenders were not very skilled at making drinks. My margarita was terrible!
But overall I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay here again.....

Historical Traveler Reviews Novotel Cannes Montfleury
Très bon hôtel, petits déjeuners excellents !
Nous avons log� � cet h�tel lors d'une visite de la France en mai dernier. L'h�tel est tr�s tr�s moderne et les chambres sont tr�s jolies bien qu'un peu petites. Les lits sont excellents et les salles de bains sont propres. La meilleure partie est le restaurant qui sert des superbes petits d�jeuners et des d�ners encore meilleurs avec plusieurs sortes de pains fran�ais. Les plats principaux sont paradisiaques. C'est un endroit vraiment tr�s agr�able. Le seul inconv�nient est que cet h�tel est loin de la ville mais l'h�tel propose une sorte de navette.
Vivement recommand�.
Un bon hôtel loin de la foule
J'y ai pass� 5 nuits en ao�t 2005. Je suis d'accord avec le commentaire du 8 juin 2005, la chambre �tait propre, mais petite, idem pour la salle de bains. Le personnel �tait serviable. Les menus �taient limit�s au restaurant et la climatisation ne pouvait pas �tre r�gl�e en dessous de 23,5 degr�s C. Mon seul reproche est que j'ai �t� choqu� de devoir payer 8 euros chaque jour pour louer un transat � la piscine de l'h�tel.
Le parking souterrain gratuit �tait un plus. La ville est � 10 minutes � pied.
J'y retournerais volontiers.
Great hotel excellent breakfast!
We stayed in this hotel as part of a tour of France last May. The hotel is very very modern and the rooms are very nice although a little small. The beds are excellent and the bath rooms are clean. The best part is the restaurant which serves great breakfast and even better dinner with many different types of french made breads on offer. The main dishes that the restaurant have is just heaven. This is an exceedingly nice place to stay. Its only drawback is that its far from town but the hotel does have a shuttle service of sorts.
Higly recomended.
Good hotel away from the crowds
Stayed for 5 nights in Aug 05. I would agree with the comments from the guest posted June 8 2005, Room was clean but not large, bathroom similar. Staff helpful. Limited restaurant menu and a/c that does not go below 23.5 C. Only gripe was having to pay 8 Euros to hire a sunbed by the hotel swimming pool every day during July and August, which was a shock. Underground parking fee of charge was a bonus. 10 mintes walk into town.
Would stay there again
Pretty good stay
Recently stayed there for 9 nights during the Film Festival. Was expecting a horrendous stay, based on previous reviews...and was quite surprised how good it was.
The room was fresh, comfortable, and decent sized...not luxuriously large....bathroom was updated, but small. Overall it was comfortable. It was quiet, and for the Festival time, an oasis in a noisy town.
Gripes: limited menu restaurant, A hotel bar that closes at 12:30am....
room a/c that couldn't go below a certain hotel pre-set that was ok, but not chilly.
The front desk was helpful, the shuttles into town were reliable..and the walk back uphill not too difficult.
The rates were on the high side ( 300 euros a night), but consistent with Cannes hotels for the Festival. Wireless internet was fairly expensive, but available.
Have stayed at this hotel many times over the last few years when it was owned by the Radisson and now Novotel (Accor) group. My experience of the hotel has always been fantastic. The rooms are of a good size with balcony looking over the pool or the mountainside and offer all the facilities that a hotel of this rating provides. The pool area is excellent, clean and quite although at peak times can get busy. Location of the hotel is superb, up in the California hills which is very peaceful with the main promenade of Cannes only approx a 10mins walk. Staff have always been friendly and helpful.
The resturant has an excellent setting near the pool but have only had breakfast at the hotel which can be expensive.
On my last vist the booking was double booked and no a room was not available. After being sent to another hotel, the all suites (not impressed), went back and were offered a sea view room at another hotel in there chain the Sofitel. Now thats another story...........superb.
Best buffet breakfast we've ever seen!
Stayed B and B for long weekend. Well satisfied with Hotel and rooms.Hotel staff very attentive, breakfast superb. It was out of town, but hotel minibus was frequent and reliable. Taxis on Sunday. We will certainly return, and will use same hotel group when in Nice soon.
Stayed here however between booking and going changed from Radisson to Novotel - I can see why.
Very tired needs major refurb.
Rooms small and dingy.
Bed uncomfortable.
Food poor.
Staff young but try.
Pool shared with residents from appartments - noisy!
Main resturaunt closed
Away from all amenities
Extras expensive
Peaceful Splendour
We stayed at the Radisson in Cannes last month and found it to be a lovely hotel. As you would expect with the world renown hotel chain, everything was as it should be. The hotel is situated away from the main hustle and bustle of the town, but in reality this means that its perfect for a peaceful getaway, and it doesnt take long to walk down to the shops/restaurants on the promenade anyway. AND they have parking! For hotels in France, this hotel is way above average.PetaMar-2003

The data shows that learners whom have growth mindsets do better in school. But how do we know which learners have growth mindsets and which have a fixed mindset. PERTS (the Project for Education Research that Scales from Stanford) has a mindset kit (in beta form) that is available at no cost. In it you will find lessons that you can use with your learners. The website states that the mindset kit is a "free, online resource designed to help educators and parents learn about adaptive academic mindsets, learn practices that promote these mindsets, and download activity ideas."
You will also find a survey that you have learners take (and you will receive a report with the final score).
Are you interested in teaching your learners about growth mindset? This is a great tool, and they welcome feedback as they will continue to add resources to this site. Take some time to explore this site.
Beth Dichter's curator insight, March 20, 5:25 PM
We often hear of growth mindset and fixed mindset. Is there also a creative mindset? Jackie Gerstein suggests that there is a creative mindset in this post. Why? If a mindset is defined as "ideas and attitudes with which a person approaches a situation" there is a list of "ideas and attitudes" that may be part of a creative mindset. The visual above provides Gerstein's list of some items she considers important for a creative mindset. The list is also below.
* Believes in one's own creativity
* Embraces curiosity
* Suspends judgement - silences the inner critic
* Tolerates ambiguity
* Persists even when confronted with skepticism and rejection
* Taps into childlike imagination; a child's sense of wonder
Each of these is described in more detail and links to additional resources are provided. There is also a short discussion conditions necessary to facilitate creative mindset in a classroom.

Anything that gives students a chance to ask their own questions is a good idea in my opinion. When the questions invoke critical thinking, it's a double bonus! Also, writing these questions on any pre-made box would work. No need to be crafty with scissors and tape.

* Videos
* Quizzes
* Fun Facts
* Galleries
and coming soon a section called My Space.

Beth Dichter's insight:
ProCon is one of my favorite websites. The mission of the site is to promote 'critical thinking, education, and informed citizenship by presenting controversial issues in a straightforward, nonpartisian, primarily pro-con format." There are 52 controversial topics that are available, and they have just released 20 lesson plans. Seventeen of the lesson plans are skill- based and three are content-based. The lesson plans are geared to learners in grades 5 - 12. Below is a list of two skill-based lessons and two content-based lesson, along with the grade levels.
Skill-Based (material quoted from site):
* Critical Thinking Quotes - Engage students in a metacognition exercise about critical thinking and also practice research and informational writing skills using ProCon.org's collection of critical thinking quotes. Grades 9 -12.
* Main Ideas of Visual References - Use charts and graphs on ProCon.org to engage students in a visual literacy exercise. Grades 6 - 8.
* Exploring Controversial Issues in Literature - To introduce a novel, use ProCon.org to help students build background knowledge and examine the novel's controversial issue(s). Grades 5 - 10.
* Drug Ads Over Time: Analyzing Historical Images - Use ProCon.org's Gallery of Drug Ads to give students an opportunity to practice ad analysis and recognize how methods and messages have changed over time. Grades 5 - 10.
To access the 52 issues that have detailed information and provide references (and links) to the materials used click on the Home page and you will find topics in Education, Elections & Presidents, Health & Medicine, Media & Entertainment, Money & Business, Politics, Religion, Science & Technology, Sex & Gender, Sports, and World/International.

Looking for recommendations for specific culture
Hi - there is so much information out there about roses that I am willing to read through but before that I need some guidance on what would do best for me. I am not familiar enough with them yet to know if this would even work for me, but it's worth a shot at least.
I am looking for a rose that would be happy in full sun for about 12 hours in summer (from 6am to 6pm when the house starts to block it). I am in zone 5 and it gets hot in my backyard. It would have to go in a pot that housed a large tomato plant last year so the pot has enough room. I would prefer something that is completely winter hardy here, or if I have to something that is easily overwintered. Also, something that is pretty disease resistant as this would be my first rose plant.
If I am surprised and there are actually a lot that would be happy with the above, I love something with fragrance and the bigger blooms the better. But I suspect there aren't that many that would be happy with me so those are far from being requirements.
Thanks for your help!
There are lots of roses that would be very happy with you! Roses love sunshine, the more the better! Heat can sometimes be a problem but in your zone that will probably only happen a few days a summer. It's not like you're in the tropics or the desert where the angle of the sun can be blistering for weeks. I usually have maybe 3 to 5 days where my roses can get a little sun burnt each year. And if the rose is potted you can always move it into some shade on those days. You can grow most any rose in a pot so that isn't a problem either. You can even winter a rose in a pot in your zone and since you're looking at just one the garage or shed would be the easiest way. See we're hitting all your requirements!
Now on to what you might like. I would suggest Julia Child. It's a lovely sunny yellow rose that blooms all the time, has a nice fragrance, is winter hardy and has pretty good disease resistance as well. The plant gets about 3 feet by 3 feet for me, has a nice bushy plant structure with glossy dark green leaves. Bloom size is about 3 inches and they last quite well both on the plant and cut in a vase.
I'm sure others will have different suggestions too but this is one I think would be good for a beginner since it seems pretty self sufficient and easy to grow and will give you the blooms you're looking for. It also should be fairly easy to find locally since it's newer and quite popular.
As for how to grow that rose in a pot, I've put a link here to another recent thread where I explain how I do mine and several others do too. If you do a search on here about growing roses in pots I'm sure you'll come up with dozens more ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: growing roses in pots
Thanks much!
I'm happy to hear that they should do good for me. Overwintering in the garage is very easy and am glad it is so, as that opens up more possibilities for me. I actually saw the Julia Child rose and thought it was a beaut so I'm glad to see it as a recommendation!
The Romantica Roses might be a possiblity. I don't grow them in a pot, but they are wonderfully colorful, with gorgeous fragrance and blooms.
They get blackspot in my organic garden, but this has not dimished blooming or vigor.
Yves Piaget, Liv Tyler, and Frederic Mistral are lovely roses.
For Hybrid Teas: Perfume Delight, Sheer Bliss and New Zealand have wonderful fragrance,do well in a cold zone.

... Massive ravines and turquoise blue riverlets at the base. We managed to find our way over the causeway into Venice. Hello Italy!!! OMG! The hotel parking was a great intro to the Italisn way of life! We had to go in the exit- yes that's right ! Boom gate ? Don't worry just pull over, cause a massive traffic jam!

Somehow we managed to get lost for a while and ended up on a tiny road that took us into Italy and then turned to dirt.

She wasn't confident navigating today's mountains on her own so she'd asked if she could tag along with us as she was heading for the same hotel. She's a relatively slow rider, so it meant I had a slow ride too for the afternoon, but it allowed me ...

Gallery: Ferrari Confirms New Hybrid System for Its V12 Models
Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa recently confirmed rumors that the car company is working on a new hybrid system for its future supercars. The recent buzz has been that Ferrari would release a new hybrid by 2015, but now it's rumored that all future Ferrari's V12s will at some point adopt the new hybrid technology. The new hybrid system will ensure that Ferrari's V12 models continue to meet CO2 targets.
Ferrari's Amedeo Felisa recently spoke to Autocar and confirmed that the upcoming V12 hybrid will be "the first in a new generation of V12s. We will roll out new technology that is there first and foremost to introduce a green factor to our cars and ensure that we can keep our product where it is in terms of CO2."
In 2010 Ferrari unveiled the 599 HY-KERS, which was a concept Ferrari that was powered by a new hybrid system. The concept was powered by a V12 engine and a compact electric motor coupled to a dual-clutch seven-speed F1 transmission. The electric motor put out 100 horsepower, since at the time it was Ferrari's goal to offset every kilogram increase in weight by a gain of at least one hp.
A production version of the hybrid system is expected to first be used in the next Enzo. "I'm not saying when, but it is possible that this technology will be on all Ferraris. It has been designed to fit all our future architecture, and if we go ahead it will be fitted as standard. It is not the sort of thing you offer as an option," stated Felisa.

Back in 2008, Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, wrote here that on campus, the word "sustainability" was moving away from its normal English meaning (prudent use of resources with the needs of future generations in mind) toward a usage with heavy ideological baggage: "sustainability" (definition 2) – a condition that arises when capitalism and hierarchy are abolished; individuals are made to see themselves as "citizens of the world;" and a new order materializes on the basis of eco-friendliness, social justice, and new forms of economic distribution.
On Thursday in New York City, NAS released a 260-page report on how far the new version of sustainability has spread, particularly on campuses: credentials can be earned in 1,438 distinct college programs and its message now extends to such unlikely subjects as English composition, mathematics, art history and psychology—all without any transparency on what is happening or why sustainability is being pushed so hard on students who should be examining and debating ideas on their own, not guided or nudged toward a pre-packaged ideology.
Rachelle Peterson of NAS, co-author of the report with Peter Wood, said the movement "represents a significant shift away from giving students access to rational and moral knowledge that prepares them for wise, conscious choices, ands toward training operations that elicit automatic responses."
Under the argument that true sustainability requires an end to social oppression, the report says, the movement embraces identity politics, calls for the overthrow of patriarchal systems and misogynist bias, the virtual elimination of extraction of energy from fossil fuels, an end to industrial development in the underdeveloped world and a return to subsistence of near subsistence standards of living. The need to overthrow capitalism, though not supported by all, is common and much discussed theme in the movement.
At the release of the report, Peter Wood called Continue reading

Foreign travel advice North Korea
On 2 March 2015, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) announced the measures it had introduced in response to the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa had been revised. Under these new measures:
anyone entering the DPRK from Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali and Cote d'Ivoire will be subject a 21-day quarantine
anyone entering the DPRK from other countries won't be quarantined, but will be placed under medical observation for 21 days by the Pyongyang friendship hospital
If you intend to travel to the DPRK, you should contact your sponsor or tour company for further advice. There have been no reported cases of Ebola in DPRK.
In recent months, the political situation in North Korea has been relatively calm, although the situation could change quickly. On 10 October 2014, activists in South Korea released balloons near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) border containing anti-DPRK leaflets. The DPRK responded by firing at the balloons, prompting an exchange of fire between South Korean and DPRK military. This has not been occurring in areas open to tourists in North Korea. See Political situation.
British nationals resident in or travelling to the DPRK who are not with tour groups should inform the British Embassy in Pyongyang about their travel plans prior to, or on arrival.
You can't enter or leave North Korea through the border with South Korea without special permission.
The British Embassy Pyongyang can provide only limited consular assistance to those visiting parts of the DPRK outside the capital Pyongyang due to restricted access.
Flooding is common in the rainy season (July to August). See Natural Disasters.
There is a low threat from terrorism. See Terrorism
Very few British nationals visit North Korea and those that do are usually part of an organised tour. Most visits are trouble-free. However, the North Korean authorities have arrested other legal visitors, including 3 US citizens during recent years.
Take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before you travel.

An Independent School for Children
Kindergarten through 6th Grades
Silverwood School was founded in 1984, upon the belief that children are inherently curious, creative, fun-loving, and generous. The mission of the school is to foster these tendencies, and that is what happens every day at Silverwood. We believe that the elementary years are the most important time in a child's life, the time when they can find a love of learning and build a strong foundation which will last the rest of their lives.
An especially committed and loving group of teachers encourages interactive and interdisciplinary approaches to learning, paying special attention to the needs of each child. In the classroom, on the playground, or on a field trip, Silverwood students and teachers work together to understand our world and each other, to grow as individuals, and to contribute to the larger community beyond Silverwood.
Silverwood School is a member of the Washington Federation of Independent Schools, and is approved by the state of Washington.
