NUI Galway Host Free Family Events for National Engineers Week
Monday, 20 February 2012
NUI Galway is calling all wanna-be-engineers to participate in a week of events and activities from 27 February to 4 March as part of National Engineers Week. As part of the line-up NUI Galway's Ryan Institute and College of Engineering and Informatics will host a free family-event. Taking place at St Nicholas Church in Galway City on Saturday, 3 March from 11am to 5pm, Connecting our Lives promises to be a great day out for everyone, with activities to suit all ages. Speaking about engineering and Engineers Week, Professor Gerry Lyons, Dean of the College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway, said: "Engineering is an exciting profession. Everything around you has been engineered in some way, yet you may not see the engineers behind the scenes. Engineers take maths and science from the lab to invent, design, and build things that matter. By dreaming up creative and practical solutions, engineers are changing the world all the time. Come and explore engineering through cool, fun and exciting demonstrations, meet with practicing engineers and IT specialists, learn about robotics, mobile phone apps, sports engineering, building design, renewable energies, medical implants and much more." At the one day family event, visitors will be able to take part in hands-on experiments, workshops, and demonstrations. Each activity will explore the engineering behind many aspects of our lives including sustainable building and living, transport, water pollution and treatment, and electricity. There will be puppets and a lego-build area especially for the young visitors and a display of antique engineering equipment to make the grown-ups feel at home. Highlights of the event will include a K'Nex Bridge Building Contest, an Eco-House Design Challenge, a Renewable Energy Demonstration Station, Water Treatment experiments, Robotics and more. Speaking about the Connecting our Lives event, Professor Colin Brown, Director of the Ryan Institute for Environmental, Marine and Energy Research, said: "Every aspect of how we live is connected by Engineering, and it's an area that is becoming more and more important as we are looking to a future where we need to think about how we can build, live and play more sustainably. Each year this event is sure to be a good pick for a fun, family-friendly day out, with visitors walking away with a much better understanding of the role of Engineering in our lives." Connecting our Lives is part of National Engineers Week, which aims to showcase the diversity of engineering and to celebrate the role of engineers in Ireland. Other NUI Galway events being hosted during National Engineers Week include guided tours of the recently opened €40million Engineering Building at NUI Galway and a series of free lunchtime concerts provided by the staff and students of the College of Engineering and Informatics. The event will also provide an opportunity for secondary school pupils to meet practicing engineers and IT specialists at the 'Explore Engineering and Technology' event, a show called 'It's all done with Mirrors' for primary school pupils which explores the science and technology behind many self working magic tricks, as well as many more events during Engineers Week. All of these events are free of charge. For more information on these and other events visit www.engineersweek.ie.

Risks of Social Exclusion for Rural Older People Explored in New Report
Monday, 20 February 2012
A new report from NUI Galway finds that while growing old in rural areas can be a positive experience, there are also a number of factors which may lead to older people experiencing social exclusion. The report, 'Social Exclusion and Ageing in Diverse Rural Communities', from NUI Galway's Irish Centre for Social Gerontology is the first of its kind on the island of Ireland. It takes an in-depth look at exclusion for older people living in rural settings across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The report identifies five areas where older people living in rural areas can be excluded. These domains of exclusion are: (1) social connections and social resources; (2) services; (3) transport and mobility; (4) safety, security and crime; and (5) income and financial resources.The report, which was launched today (20 February) at NUI Galway by Ireland's Minister of State for Disability, Equality, Mental Health and Older People, Kathleen Lynch TD, and Northern Ireland's Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, Michelle O'Neill MLA."Our findings suggest that an older person's experience of exclusion across these domains is influenced by such factors as individual disposition, life transitions, place characteristics, and macro-economic forces. It is this influence that determines the depth and extent of exclusion experienced. We came across many older people living in what would appear to be difficult circumstances, but a sense of belonging and keeping connected in their communities helped to maintain their quality of life," explained one of the authors of the report, Professor Eamon O'Shea, of NUI Galway's Irish Centre for Social Gerontology (ICSG). Older people in the study were generally happy with their lives and with where they lived and were optimistic about the future. However, it was clear to the authors how service depletion, weak social connections and older people's low expectations can be significant issues.In response to the research, Minister Lynch TD said: "This most informative study on social exclusion and ageing in diverse rural communities in Ireland will be of great importance to planners and policy makers, service providers and community workers – North and South – in planning and implementing intervention strategies that target loneliness and social isolation in rural areas. This research is a welcome contribution to European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, and provides valuable insights into the lived experiences of older people. It tells us of the great diversity within the older population as a whole in Ireland and the very valuable contribution of older people to society. The research reminds us that good communities, good neighbours and attachment to place make life better – irrespective of personal circumstances." Minister O'Neill MLA welcomed the publication of the cross-border document stating: "As Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, and as a rural dweller, I am acutely aware of the difficulties facing many people living in our rural communities and particularly the elderly. This all-island research report on Social Exclusion and Ageing in Rural Communities highlights those many difficulties so that informed action can be taken. I congratulate the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology and the Healthy Ageing in Rural Communities (HARC) Research Network for this work."Minister O'Neill went on to say: "Later this week I will be formally launching the 'Tackling Rural Poverty and Social Isolation' framework which provides a package of some £16 million over the next four years to help the most vulnerable rural dwellers facing poverty and social isolation."The research calls for more innovative ways to support local areas to assist and engage older people in rural society and presents recommendations in order to assist in this task and to reduce the potential for older people to be excluded in rural communities. Speaking at the event, Dr Kieran Walsh of the ISCG said social exclusion is a complex phenomenon: "With this work we are closer to understanding how it can affect older people's lives in rural communities. For instance, a person who experiences a transition into ill health, and who has recently moved to a remote community, may find it more difficult to establish social connections. Alternatively, an individual with ill health who has developed a capacity for coping and who lives in a place with a strong sense of community may have less difficulty in maintaining social connections. Or, indeed, a person may be socially included, but be excluded in terms of service access."Professor Scharf, Director of the ICSG, added: "With the ageing of our rural communities, and the increasingly difficult economic climate, we must be aware of how the diversity of people and places can intersect to produce both inclusion and exclusion."Dr Roger O'Sullivan, Director of the Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI) - funder of the research, commented: "People who live in rural areas and experience exclusion are often invisible to society and this is particularly true for older people. With the launch of this report today those developing policy and services now have substantial evidence at hand to help make rural Ireland a good place to grow old."The report authors were Dr Kieran Walsh, Professor Eamon O'Shea and Professor Tom Scharf, from the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at NUI Galway. The research was completed in collaboration with the Healthy Ageing in Rural Communities (HARC) research network (www.harcresearch.com), which is a cross-border interdisciplinary initiative involving NUI Galway, Queen's University Belfast, Rural Community Network and FORUM Connemara.-ends-

Compact Imaging Reaches Agreement on Research Collaboration with Irish Universities
Thursday, 16 February 2012
National University of Ireland Galway, University of Limerick to Provide Biophotonics Expertise, Gain Stake in Emerging Silicon Valley Technology CompanyCompact Imaging (CI) today announced an innovative research collaboration with National University of Ireland Galway and University of Limerick.The two-year agreement, in the scientific field of biophotonics, specifically optical coherence tomography (OCT), will explore and further develop CI's novel technologies. OCT is an imaging technique similar to ultrasound, but employing light rather than sound.The project will combine National University of Ireland Galway's globally-recognised body of OCT research in medical and biological imaging with CI's development and intellectual property in the area of multiple-reference OCT. The focus will be on Compact Imaging's MRO™, multiple-reference OCT, architecture.CI is an early stage technology company focused on the rapidly expanding market for non-invasive optical imaging, measurement and analysis. The Company's MRO™ technology makes possible very small (cell phone size), low-cost, robust OCT-based devices for these applications. CI, based in Silicon Valley, holds a portfolio of US patents covering multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MRO™).The collaboration makes the extensive scientific research capabilities of National University of Ireland Galway (NUI Galway) and University of Limerick (UL) available to CI. The agreement has been led by and supported by Galway University Foundation and University of Limerick Foundation. The agreement will lead to the University foundations receiving equity in CI. Additional financial details are confidential, for commercial reasons.NUI Galway's Professor Martin Leahy will direct the research efforts. Professor Leahy is Chair of Applied Physics at NUI Galway, Scientific Director of the National Biophotonics Imaging Platform Ireland (NBIPI) www.nbipireland.ie and Director of the University's Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging Laboratory (TOMI) http://tomi.nuigalway.ie."Physics has delivered extraordinary advances in almost every facet of modern life," said Professor Leahy. "From the humble thermometer and stethoscope to X-Ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET and radiotherapy, our health has been transformed by these advances. Photonics promises to bring healthcare to the next level, as it is the only means to see cells and molecules in small, accessible, low cost and safe imaging systems."Compact Imaging's multiple-reference OCT technology has the potential to harness all these advantages, delivering solutions to health and security markets with a distinct edge," added Professor Leahy. "Our proprietary MRO™ technology has a broad set of biological imaging and measurement applications in fields from medical to security," said Don Bogue, CEO of CI. "By embarking on this collaboration with Professor Leahy and the laboratories at National University of Ireland Galway, Compact Imaging gains access to outstanding research capability with a group that has the right scientific expertise and research focus to move MRO™ well beyond where our startup-level resources would otherwise allow. We expect that this collaboration will accelerate our development and delivery of small low-cost solutions to a variety of markets," he said.The underlying imaging technology, optical coherence tomography (OCT), was first commercialised more than a decade ago for use in ophthalmic and medical diagnostic imaging. CI's MRO™ is a very different architecture from that used in conventional OCT systems. The architecture enables design of small form factor (cell phone size), low cost devices ideally-suited both to integration with large multi-purpose instruments for office or clinic use and to higher volume mobile or remote applications."Leveraging knowledge to support innovation is an important part of the mission of universities. For NUI Galway and UL to partner in this way with an emerging company in Silicon Valley is a very exciting development. NUI Galway is delighted to be part of this collaboration which brings mutual benefit to all partners – academic and commercial," said Dr Jim Browne, President of NUI Galway.Speaking about the alliance, UL President, Professor Don Barry said: "This alliance and this pioneering commercial agreement highlight what can be achieved with some innovative thinking from supporters of the University. It demonstrates ways in which commercially astute universities and their foundations can benefit through creative collaborations with industry."-ends-

New Discovery in Fight against Huntington's Disease
Wednesday, 22 February 2012
Researchers at National University of Ireland Galway have made a significant scientific discovery in the fight against Huntington's disease. The novel findings are published today (21 February) in the online, open access journal PLoS Biology. Huntington's disease is an incurable, inherited, neurodegenerative disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbances, and severe mental deterioration. It affects over 100,000 people worldwide, with another 300,000 likely to develop symptoms in their lifetime. There is currently no way to halt progression of the disease, and available treatments are designed only to manage the symptoms.The new research identifies specific enzymes called HDACs, or histone deacetylase complexes, as positive agents for the mutation that underlies Huntington's disease. When HDACs are active, they exacerbate the disease-causing mutation in cells, possibly contributing to the severity of the disorder. The new research found that blocking these HDACs with experimental drugs greatly reduced the risk of further mutation."Ongoing mutations in the brain of Huntington's patients are thought to drive progression of the disease," said Professor Robert Lahue of National University of Ireland Galway's Centre for Chromosome Biology, and lead author on the new research paper. "Our discovery suggests that inhibiting HDAC function slows down the mutation process, and thereby could slow disease progression. A key finding of the research was to pinpoint specific HDACs for selective inhibition."Several laboratories in the United States of America are currently testing new HDAC inhibitors in laboratory models for efficacy and safety in related fields. Professor Lahue and his research group hope to work with these labs to evaluate the effect of HDAC inhibitors on the mutational process. "Huntington's is a particularly cruel disease, as it is passed from parent to child, often with increased severity or earlier onset," Professor Lahue adds. "With modern genetic testing, people can now establish whether they received the mutant gene from their parent, but then they live a waiting game for the onset of symptoms, which usually appear around the age of 40."Professor Lahue emphasised that the HDAC inhibitors are still experimental, and that their development to potential drugs is still some way off. "It is very exciting that basic research at National University of Ireland Galway, funded by Science Foundation Ireland, has created a new possibility for helping Huntington's patients and their families."The findings may also have implications for research into certain other neurological disorders, such as myotonic dystrophy type I, a type of muscular dystrophy caused by the same sort of mutation as seen in Huntington's.-ends-

New Platform to Gather Views on EU Policy
Wednesday, 22 February 2012
Researchers at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) in NUI Galway are leading a European Union, multi-million euro initiative aimed at government transparency and giving citizens a voice in creating policies.The project, entitled 'Puzzled by Policy', has now launched as an online platform, with the focus on immigration in the EU. The website is customised for Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain, profiling users based on national and European immigration policy.The Puzzled by Policy platform allows users to graphically compare their views on immigration with national and EU immigration policies, as well as with the opinions of relevant stakeholders. Users are then encouraged to join discussions on particular aspects of immigration policy they feel strongly about.The platform is also available in English and discussions can be automatically translated into any language. To ensure accessibility to all users, the Puzzled by Policy widget can be embedded on any social media site, blog or website.The Puzzled by Policy project aims to help end the detachment and disillusionment of citizens in the policy making process of the EU by improving information resources and tools.Current ways of informing citizens and allowing them to participate can be difficult to access, time consuming to use and yield little results. Experts at DERI are deveoping IT tools to acquire, share, reuse and process vast amounts of relevant data from multiple and divergent information sources.DERI's Deirdre Lee, who is leading the Puzzled by Policy Project, comments:" DERI is providing the models, technologies and tools for more effective and efficient public administration systems. This is all part of a larger move toward eGovernment, which embraces the world wide web for better governence. eGovernment offers the ability to transform not only the way in which most public services are delivered but also the fundamental relationship between government and citizen."With over 140 researchers, DERI is one of the world's leading international web science research institutes, established as a CSET in 2003 with funding from Science Foundation Ireland.Its researchers have a specific focus on the Semantic Web and Networked Knowledge, which provides the framework to link information in a way that allows us to use, analyse and retrieve this information more efficiently.-ends-

Older Women Lose out in Pension Provision
Friday, 24 February 2012
New research looks at older women workers' access to pensions Fewer than one in three female pensioners in Ireland receive the maximum contributory pension and two-thirds rely on the non-contributory pension, leaving many women disadvantaged in later life, says a new report today. The report Older Women Workers' Access to Pensions: Vulnerabilities, Perspectives and Strategies was written by Dr Nata Duvvury, Dr Áine Ní Léime and Aoife Callan of NUI Galway, and Dr Linda Price and Mark Simpson of Queens University Belfast, with funding from the Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI). The research highlights the issue of gender inequality in pension provision in Ireland, north and south. It underlines the vulnerability of older women and examines the factors that contribute to lower pension incomes among women, including level of labour force participation and time spent caring for dependants. The report also looks at strategies used by older women and finds many depend on partners' or husbands' incomes for a secure future, even though they may well outlive them as women tend to have longer life expectancies. Inez McCormack, who was the first female president of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, will officially launch the report at the National University of Ireland Offices in Merrion Square today: "This report comes at a crucial time in light of the changes to pensions recently announced in the Republic of Ireland[i] and Northern Ireland. It makes the issue of women and pensions visible – a crucial step towards the state living up to its obligation to protect the most vulnerable with regard to social security, which is a human right." Key findings: Older women workers experience limited access to pensions because of low pay, poor conditions of work and their primary role in caring. Women account for only 27% of those receiving the maximum contributory pension. Women are likely to be involved in non-pensionable employment and/or in seasonal, part-time and short-term contracts, making it difficult for them to contribute regularly to pensions. Reliance on partners' income is common, but is a risky strategy in the event of separation, divorce, widowhood, illness or redundancy. The economic crisis, with the imposition of the government levies and charges, has further reduced women's ability to pay into pensions. Typically, women were not aware of the importance of personal pension provision until quite late in life or in situations of change such as husband's job loss or family disruption. For some women who could afford to contribute to private pensions, the failure of the banking system resulted in significant losses to the value of their pension funds. Dr Nata Duvvury, co-Director of the Global Women's Studies Programme at NUI Galway, one of the lead investigators of the report commented: "Women are often the holders of low pay and part-time jobs which will dramatically affect their ability to build pensions. With the economic crisis, this particular group in society is being put under even more financial pressure and the long-term result looks set to be financial insecurity in older age." Roger O'Sullivan, Director of CARDI, said: "Gender inequality in pension incomes is an important issue affecting many tens of thousands of older people in Ireland, north and south – and the number of women aged 65+ will rise by more than half a million in the next 30 years. This research underlines the gender gaps in the pension systems in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and makes an important contribution to understanding how such gaps might be closed by policy makers to ensure all older people can enjoy a secure and healthy old age." Dr Áine Ní Léime, co-principal investigator at the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at NUI Galway, commented: "While pension policy in Ireland, north and south, has begun to address some of the obstacles to women's access to pensions, there is a clear need for a coherent approach across the policy areas of employment, taxation and social welfare, as well as pensions to ensure that women have an adequate income in later life." Dr Linda Price, Lecturer in Spatial Planning, who led the research at Queen's University, Belfast commented: "The life course approach taken in the research has led to an appreciation of the continuing impact of gender relations, caring responsibilities and fragmented and often low-paid employment on women's ability to retire in our society in an era when popular conceptions are that gender equality has been achieved." -ends-

50 Years in the Making - President Higgins Returns to Alma Mater to Launch Autism Centre
Friday, 24 February 2012
The Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research at NUI Galway to be launched by Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland, 50 years after he enrolled as a mature student President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins will make his first official visit to NUI Galway to launch its new Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research on Friday, 24 February, 2012. The visit takes place 50 years after he was initially enrolled as a mature student at the University. The Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ICAN) is dedicated to ensuring improvements for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families not only through scientific research but also through education and providing services to the community. Co-funded by Galway University Foundation, the Centre is the first centre of its kind outside North America that uses an integrated approach to the delivery of postgraduate education, research and the delivery of autism support services. NUI Galway's Dr Geraldine Leader is the Director of ICAN: "A diagnosis of autism can have a devastating effect on a family. The lack of autism services in Ireland places an enormous burden on parents. Yet parents and families are the true advocates for those diagnosed. Our Centre aims to support families by training highly-skilled practitioners in the management and care of persons with ASD, conduct research that will provide practical solutions for parents and by providing support services for families." Dr Leader added: "Neurological disorders such as autism affect individuals and their families across the life span. Our centre aims to target many of these challenges by conducting research into social and communicative deficits, adaptive behaviour needs, restricted interests and repetitive/challenging behaviours." Autism is a complex disorder that inhibits a person's ability to communicate, form friendships and relate to the outside world. It is characterised by restrictive and sometimes repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests and activities. It may also be accompanied by behaviour problems. The prevalence of autism is on the rise. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 110 children will be diagnosed with autism. Among boys the incidence is 1 in 70. Although there are no comparable studies on autism in Ireland, it is believed the prevalence is similar to that found in the US. Ita Fitzgibbon, is the parent of a 12 year old son with autism and Chairperson of Abalta Special School Galway, said: "Abalta has a very strong relationship with the MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis in NUI Galway, providing placements to many students on the programme, each year. Our school has seen the benefits of receiving the very best expertise first hand and the impact it has had on the lives of our students and their families. There is a lack of understanding of autism in Ireland and it is only through research that we can hope to generate a greater awareness of this condition. The opening of ICAN at NUI Galway will bring leading international experts together to use their knowledge, insight and research to enhance the lives of those affected and touched by autism in Ireland. This centre will help those diagnosed with autism in Ireland to reach their potential and achieve their goals." ICAN offers both an MSc and PhD programme in Applied Behaviour Analysis at NUI Galway. These programmes are preparing students to become highly skilled practitioners in the care and management of ASD and related neurodevelopmental conditions. Students are making an important contribution to services as they are placed in either Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention programmes that are home and school based, ASD Units within mainstream schools, special schools and adults services. Neurological disorders such as Autism affect individuals and their families across the life span. Our centre aims to target many of these challenges by conducting research into social and communicative deficits, adaptive behaviour needs, restricted interests and repetitive/challenging behaviours. A major international conference recently hosted by NUI Galway, Autism Speaks and the American Ireland Fund, highlighted new technologies and practical strategies for managing challenges faced in schools for helping children on the autism spectrum. Key international experts in the field discussed treatment of associated medical conditions and presented the latest research on early signs of autism and the use of medication for people on the autism spectrum. President of NUI Galway, Dr Jim Browne, said the establishment of this new centre highlights NUI Galway's commitment to autism research and underscores the translational dimension of the University's work. He said, "This Centre will be a landmark for those concerned with ASD. Students will benefit from research-led teaching at a centre which is affiliated with the best international centres in this field. The Centre's outreach programme will ensure that the latest research and educational strategies will reach those families living with ASD. I believe that the launch of this Centre by President Higgins will be an important landmark for families affected by autism." ENDS For further information visit www.nuigalway.ie/ican 50 bliain ag teacht – Filleann an tUachtarán Ó hUiginn chuig a Alma Mater chun Ionad Uathachais a sheoladh Seolfaidh Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D. Ó hUiginn an tIonad Éireannach um Thaighde ar Uathachas agus ar Néar-Fhorbraíocht in OÉ Gaillimh, 50 bliain i ndiaidh dó féin clárú mar mhac léinn lánfhásta. Tabharfaidh Uachtarán na hÉireann, Micheál D. Ó hUiginn, a chéad chuairt oifigiúil ar OÉ Gaillimh chun an tIonad nua Éireannach um Thaighde ar Uathachas agus ar Néar-Fhorbraíocht a sheoladh Dé hAoine, an 24 Feabhra 2012. Tagann an chuairt seo 50 bliain i ndiaidh dó féin clárú den chéad uair mar mhac léinn lánfhásta san Ollscoil. Tá an tIonad nua Éireannach um Thaighde ar Uathachas agus ar Néar-Fhorbraíocht (ICAN) tiomanta feabhsúcháin a chinntiú do dhaoine aonair a bhfuil neamhord ar speictream an uathachais (ASD) ag gabháil dóibh agus cúnamh a thabhairt dá dteaghlaigh. Déanfar é seo ní hamháin trí thaighde eolaíoch ach trí oideachas agus trí sheirbhísí sa phobal a chur ar fáil. Tá an tIonad á chómhaoiniú ag Fondúireacht na hOllscoile, agus is é an chéad ionad dá leithéid é taobh amuigh de Mheiriceá Thuaidh a úsáideann cur chuige comhtháite maidir le hoideachas iarchéime, taighde agus seirbhísí tacaíochta uathachais a sholáthar. Deir an Dr Geraldine Leader, comhalta foirne in OÉ Gaillimh agus Stiúrthóir ICAN: "Nuair a fhaigheann teaghlach amach go bhfuil uathachas ag gabháil do dhuine acu is féidir leis tionchar uafásach a bheith aige orthu. Cuireann an easpa seirbhísí uathachais atá ar fáil in Éirinn ualach mór millteach ar thuismitheoirí. Ach is tuismitheoirí agus teaghlaigh a sheasann an fód dóibh siúd le huathachas. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an Ionad seo tacú le teaghlaigh trí oiliúint a chur ar chleachtóirí a bhfuil ardscileanna acu maidir le daoine le ASD a bhainistiú agus aire a thabhairt dóibh. Tabharfar tacaíocht do theaghlaigh freisin trí thaighde a dhéanamh a thabharfaidh freagraí praiticiúla do thuismitheoirí agus trí sheirbhísí tacaíochta a chur ar fáil do theaghlaigh." Chomh maith leis sin dúirt an Dr Leader: "Bíonn tionchar ag neamhoird néareolaíocha cosúil le huathachas ar dhaoine aonair agus ar a dteaghlaigh i rith a saoil. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an ionad seo díriú ar go leor de na dúshláin seo trí thaighde a dhéanamh ar easnaimh shóisialta agus chumarsáide, riachtanais iompraíochta oiriúnaitheacha, leasanna srianta agus iompraíochtaí athchleachtacha/dúshlánacha." Is neamhord casta é an t-uathachas a chuireann bac ar chumas duine cumarsáid a dhéanamh, cairde a dhéanamh agus tuiscint a bheith aige ar an domhan mórthimpeall. Bíonn pátrúin shrianta agus uaireanta athchleachtacha iompraíochta, leasanna agus gníomhaíochtaí i gceist le huathachas. Is féidir go mbeadh fadhbanna iompraíochta i gceist chomh maith. Tá forleithne uathachais ag méadú. Sna Stáit Aontaithe, measann na hIonaid um Ghalar a Rialú go mbeidh páiste amháin as gach 110 páiste diagnóisithe le huathachas. I measc buachaillí, is buachaill amháin as gach 70 buachaill a bheidh diagnóisithe le huathachas. Cé nach bhfuil aon staidéar comparáideach ar uathachas in Éirinn, creidtear go mbeidh na figiúirí mórán mar a chéile is atá sna Stáit Aontaithe. Dúirt Ita Fitzgibbon, a bhfuil mac 12 bhliain d'aois aici a bhfuil uathachas ag gabháil dó agus atá ina Cathaoirleach ar Scoil Speisialta Ábalta, Gaillimh: "Tá caidreamh thar a bheith láidir ag Ábalta leis an gclár MSc in Anailís Iompraíochta Fheidhmeach in OÉ Gaillimh, agus tagann mic léinn ar shocrúchán oibre chugainn gach bliain. Feiceann scoil sin againne na buntáistí a bhaineann leis an saineolas is fearr a fháil ar an láthair agus an tionchar a bhíonn aige sin ar ár scoláirí agus a dteaghlaigh. Tá easpa tuisceana ar an uathachas in Éirinn agus caithfear taighde a dhéanamh ionas go mbeidh feasacht níos leithne ag daoine. Le hoscailt ICAN in OÉ Gaillimh tabharfar saineolaithe idirnáisiúnta le chéile chun a n-eolas, a léargas agus a dtaighde a úsáid chun feabhas a chur ar an saol dóibh siúd a bhfuil uathachas ag gabháil dóibh in Éirinn. Cabhróidh an tIonad seo leo siúd a bhfuil uathachas ag gabháil dóibh in Éirinn a bpoitéinseal agus a spriocanna a bhaint amach." Cuireann ICAN clár MSc agus clár PhD in Anailís Iompraíochta Fheidhmeach ar fáil in OÉ Gaillimh. Tá na cláir seo ag cur oiliúna ar mhic léinn go mbeidh siad ina gcleachtóirí ardoilte i gcúram agus i mbainistiú ASD agus riochtaí néarfhorbartha lena mbaineann. Tá mic léinn ag cur go mór le seirbhísí mar go mbíonn siad ag obair ar chláir Luathdhian-Idirghabhála Iompraíochta atá bunaithe sa bhaile nó sa scoil, nó in Ionaid ASD laistigh de scoileanna príomhshrutha, scoileanna speisialta agus seirbhísí d'aosaigh. Bíonn tionchar ag neamhoird néareolaíocha cosúil le huathachas ar dhaoine aonair agus ar a dteaghlaigh i rith a saoil. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an ionad seo díriú ar go leor de na dúshláin seo trí thaighde a dhéanamh ar easnaimh shóisialta agus chumarsáide, riachtanais iompraíochta oiriúnaitheacha, leasanna srianta agus iompraíochtaí athchleachtacha/dúshlánacha. Ag oll-chomhdháil a chuir OÉ Gaillimh, Autism Speaks agus an American Ireland Fund i láthair le déanaí, tarraingíodh aird ar theicneolaíochtaí nua agus ar straitéisí praiticiúla chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar na dúshláin a bhíonn i scoileanna chun cabhrú le páistí ar speictream an uathachais. Labhair príomh-shaineolaithe idirnáisiúnta sa réimse faoin gcóireáil a úsáidtear do riochtaí cosúla leighis agus chuir siad an taighde is déanaí i láthair maidir le luathchomharthaí uathachais agus úsáid chógais ar speictream an uathachais. Dúirt Uachtarán OÉ Gaillimh, an Dr Jim Browne, go léiríonn bunú an ionaid nua seo tiomantas OÉ Gaillimh do thaighde ar uathachas agus leagann sé béim ar an ngné aistritheach d'obair na hOllscoile. Dúirt sé, "Is áit cheannródaíoch a bheidh san Ionad seo do dhaoine a mbaineann ASD leo. Gheobhaidh mic léinn buntáiste as an teagasc taighde-bhunaithe san ionad a bhfuil baint aige leis na hionaid idirnáisiúnta is fearr sa réimse seo. Cinnteoidh clár for-rochtana an Ionaid go mbeidh an taighde agus na straitéisí oideachasúla is déanaí ar fáil do theaghlaigh atá ag maireachtáil le ASD. Creidim gur ócáid cheannródaíoch a bheidh sa seoladh seo a dhéanfaidh an tUachtarán Ó hUiginn ar an Ionad seo do theaghlaigh a mbaineann ASD leo." CRÍOCH

SAN ANTONIO - Brice Butler isn't being cocky when he says it. He's just being truthful.The Norcross senior, who is rated as one of the top prep wide receivers in the country, is used to being the best player on whatever football field he steps on. He's used to being the superstar. The guy. The one who evokes fear in opposing cornerbacks. But after a week in San Antonio practicing for today's U.S. Army All-American Game, he realized what's in store for him when he officially makes the jump from Region 7-AAAAA to Division I-A. "It's a big difference going from playing against defensive backs from like Collins Hill to coming out here and playing these guys," said Butler, whose East team will battle the West today at 1 p.m. on NBC. "Everybody's fast. Everybody has good technique. "And it's just a little different because the game is faster." He hasn't been overwhelmed by the difference though. According to all reports, Butler has been one of the best receivers on either team. He has caught virtually everything thrown his way and his precise route-running ability and large frame has made him a difficult matchup for all of the East team's cornerbacks in practice. So now some All-Americans have experienced the same pain those defensive backs at Collins Hill, North Gwinnett, Duluth and the Forsyth County schools were forced to endure for the last two years. "It's given me a glimpse of the kind of guys I'll be going up against once I get to college," Butler said. "Guys are strong. I'm used to being able to push guys around a little bit, but you can't really do that here. You have to use good technique against these guys. You have to run your routes correct and get off the ball and separate. "If you don't do that, they're going to make a play." More often than not, even against other All-Americans, it's been Butler making the play however. The fact that he has fared so well in Texas shouldn't really be a surprise. He did commit to Southern California after all, and the Trojans have proven to be pretty solid talent evaluators over the last decade. If the Rose Bowl champions spend all that time and all that money recruiting a kid from the other side of the country, odds are he's going to be a pretty special player. "He runs great routes and he has great hands," said Terry Smith, an assistant coach for the East team. "But probably the best thing about him is his willingness to learn. He listens to constructive criticism and is very coachable." Smith gave an example of a play during Thursday's morning practice. "We had him running a corner route and he took an inside release," Smith said. "He still beat the kid, but it was kind of a tougher coverage. We made an adjustment and the second time he ran it, with the adjustment, he beat the kid pretty badly." Butler wouldn't mind doing that a few more times today. Not only for his future fans out in Los Angeles, but for his current ones back in Norcross. "I need to have a pretty good game (today)," Butler said. "Everything right now looks pretty good and I just hope everything works out ... and I'll be able to show off the blessings God gave me."

NY, other states scrimp on Civil War anniversary
ALBANY, N.Y. - ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War just months away, New York's government has failed to scrounge up a single Yankee dollar to commemorate a conflict it played a major role in winning.
New York isn't alone. Other states saddled with similar budget woes are unable or unwilling to set aside taxpayer funds for historic re-enactments and museum exhibits when public employees are being laid off and services slashed.
Even South Carolina, where the war's first shots were fired upon Fort Sumter in April 1861, has declined to provide government funding for organizations planning events.
Virginia and Pennsylvania appear to be leading the way in efforts to plan, promote and stage Civil War commemorations.

1HOPE1BOAST Conference
- Religion & Spirituality
- 4646 South Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, CA, 63127
Tested By Fire Conference
One Hope One Boast
Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 6:00 PM - Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:30 PM (PDT)
In 1 Corinthians 3, the apostle Paul tells us that we must be very careful about how we build on the "foundation…which is Jesus Christ." Why? Because "the Day" will test and disclose the nature of each person's work by fire:
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 1 Cor. 3:11-13
When the fire of the Day of the Lord comes and increases in intensity, it will quickly become evident whether our lives, our families, and our churches had been built with "wood, hay, or straw," materials that get burned up in fire because they cannot, by virtue of their very nature, withstand the heat; or whether they had been built with "gold, silver, and precious stones," materials that come through fire not destroyed, but refined.
Fire is coming to the church; fire is coming to the world at large. What do the Scriptures say this "fire" will look like? Why is God going to send the fire? When the fire arrives, what will Jesus be looking for in the hearts of His people and in the life of His Bride? The hour is urgent, the Day of the Lord is at hand, and however uncomfortable these questions may inherently be, we sweep them under the rug to our own peril.
We invite you to join us at this conference as we seek Biblical clarity on these issues, and then bring them before our Lord in prayer.
This Daniel Training Network conference is a gathering of people with a focus on making our boast in the cross and our hope in the Day of the Lord.
ONE BOAST, MESSIAH CRUCIFIED: "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and, and I to the world" (Gal. 6:14). What would motivate a human being to embrace such utter foolishness?
ONE HOPE, ETERNAL GLORY: "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" (Rom. 8:18).

California Vehicle Registration - How to Register your Vehicle
California law requires that motor vehicle owners must register their vehicle with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) before taking it on the road. Both new and second-hand vehicles must be registered, regardless of whether they are purchased from a dealer or an individual. In addition, new California residents who have registered their vehicle in another state must register their vehicle in California. The initial vehicle registration must be done in person, and registration renewals must be done annually, either in person, online or by mail.
If you have purchased a used vehicle you must register it within ten days of the purchase date to avoid late registration fees. If your car is new to California, you must register it within 20 days of the entry date to California to avoid late fees. The following are further resources to help with your specific needs whether you are doing your California vehicle registration for the first time, renewing or replacing your existing registration:

California Car Registration Fee Calculator
California car registrations fees vary depending on a number of factors including the make and model of the car, the date of late registration, traffic tickets, etc. DMV.com's car registration fee calculator can help you figure out how much it will cost to register your vehicle.
The California Vehicle Code
The California Vehicle Code is important for anyone registering their vehicle since it contains all the rules and regulations that drivers and vehicles are subject to while on the road.
California Car Registration Plates
This article is an overview of license / car registration plates. It covers the regulations for displaying and mainting your plates as well as information on vanity, disability and vintage vehicle plates.
California Custom Car Registrations
There are different procedures for registering a custom or vintage car in the state and you can find that information in this article.
If you are registering a motor vehicle in California for the first time, you must complete the following steps:
- All vehicles in California must be insured. When you register your vehicle you must provide proof of insurance. The easiest way to do this is to obtain auto liability insurance.
- Collect the necessary paperwork. If you bought your vehicle from a dealer, then the dealer will have sent the necessary paperwork to the California Department of Motor Vehicles. In all other circumstances you will need to collect the following additional papers:
- A completed Application for Vehicle Title or Registration, signed by all registered owners.
- If you do not need to change ownership of the vehicle, collect the last registration certificate and a copy of the last issued out of state title.
- If you do need to change the ownership of the vehicle, make sure that you have completed the Change of Title for the vehicle.
- If you have newly purchased the vehicle, make sure that you have the Bill of Sale.
- For cars less than ten years old, you must also have an Odometer Disclosure Statement signed by both yourself (the buyer) and the seller.
- If your vehicle is not new, you may require a smog certificate.
- Make an appointment to visit your DMV center, making sure that you explain that you require a vehicle inspection.
- Once your vehicle has been inspected, you can submit your paperwork and order your license plates. These will be sent to you in the mail and must be fixed to your vehicle as soon as received.
- You are entitled to a tax reduction for a portion of the registration fees called the Annual Vehicle License Fee.
- Remember that CA Auto Insurance is needed to legally operate all vehicles in California.
REGISTRATION FEESWhen registering your vehicle at a California DMV office, you will be required to pay the California car registration fee. Registration fees vary depending on whether you are registering your vehicle for the first time, if you require special license plates and so on. Use the DMV.com CA Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator to find out exactly what you will need to pay.

i bought a car on 3/11/11 i havent had money to transfer it under my name but i do have insurance, ill be going tomorrow to the dmv. does anyone know appx how much the fees will be? or how long i had since the first day i bought the car to transfer it under my name?
I bought a used car in 7/2010 and took my personalized plates from my old car. The dealership said the car I was purchasing was registered thru 2/14/2011 and that I wouldn't have to pay registration fees until then, but I told them I wanted my personalized plates on the new purchase. They charged me registration fees, but registered the car without my personalized plates. I've been driving around with my personalized plates thinking they registered them, but they didn't. Now I'm being charged late fees for not registering the new purchase before 2/14/2011, and I can't seem to find out how to not pay double registeration fees for registering it under the used car's license and then registering it with my personalized plate. And the website says you can't register in person, only online.
Any suggestions?
I would like to by a used truck that has not been registered in many years. Do I need to pay past registration to register it up to date? Do I just pay non op for those years not registered?
If you have not had it set up as non op prior to the last known payed registration
you will have to pay for the registrations for those years, heres the thing its only if you
have had the vehicle on the road during that time so if you had any tickets or somthing that could be used to say you did have the vehicle on the road then you are toast.
If you claim to have never moved the vehice out of storage let's say then you could fill out a affadavte saying you have not driven the vehicle LOL.
my nephew got in an accident, found out his check to the insurance company had bounced , had to have his car towed away & put in impound.
Will he be denied vechicle registration when he is able to buy another car in
the state of California ?
He will be required to prove he is insured to register the new car.
I will be working in California for 1 year coming from out-of-state. Do I need to register my vehicle and get a California drivers license for that year? I will be leaving California and returning to my home state with my vehicle.
You would at the least go to the DMV and let them know what your plans are.
My son wants to purchase a used vehicle from a private party, the vehicle has not been registered in 10 years, what does he do?
I have been given a vehicle in NY from a deceased relative. The insurance & registration on this NY vehicle have expired. I intend to fly to NY and drive this vehicle home but NY only gives a 30 temp registration. I am 70yrs old and I need more than 30 days to get this vehicle home. Is there a way for me to get a CA registration while the vehicle is in NY?
Am I allowed to register a car for my husband or does he have to be there himself?
Yo compre un carro y ya esta pagado perdi el titulo y ahora lo vendi al yonqe tengo la registracion valida y esta a mi nombre pero esta tambien el nombre del dealer donde lo compre es por eso qe me piden el titulo pero no lo tengo qe puedo aser alludenme por favor
Tienes que ir al departamento de motor vehiculos y darlo de alta. Ocupas un comprobante que el carro no esta en tu posesion. Con un recibo de lugar que se lo llevo, pienso que seria bastante. Y les dices que el vehiculo ya no esta en tu posesion. Y lo puedes dar de alta. Pero tendrias que ir primero al DMV. Suerte!
ignorant inbred fool.
I can't belive there is a person that needs help and all u people can do is name them ignorants and fools! u people really need a life! And wat does "Go Back To Europe" mean? Bunch of Fools that don't know how to think of someone that needs help! Bola de Pendejos!!!!!
You are a horrible person.
that spanish it say = You have to go to the department of motor vehicles and discharge. You occupy a proof that the car is not in your possession. With proof of what took place that I think it would be enough. And I say that the vehicle is no longer in your possession. And you can be discharged. But you should first go to the DMV. Suerte!
I had renewed my registration. While I was waiting in the mail for the sticker and registration, I sold my car. Can that registration (in California) be canceled and applied to a new car?
no refund, if you paid before the registration expiry then you can ask the DMV for refund.
A city recently contacted me about unpaid parking tickets from two years ago. I know that I paid them. Dont you have to pay them before you can register your car? Where can I find record of these payments?
Had a car non-op for over a year. Car had a new engine installed last week. Call State Farm insurance and let them know that the car has been repaired and I needed to drive it to get a smog cert. Went to the DMV with copy of Temporary Auto Identification Card for insurance and old registration. After waiting for hours I told the lady that I needed a one day driving pass to get the state required smog done on the car. Was told by the DMV lady I could not because the car registration had been suspended. Yes that is why I was here, to get it re-registered. But first I had to get a ONE DAY driving pass to not be illegally driving in the state. Showed that the car now has insurance and just need the pass to get it smogged!. She said can't help you computer says it is suspended. Yes it was non-op and insurance had suspended it over a year ago. I am showing her the insurance ID card and she still says the computer says suspended. So how do I get a ONE DAY pass to get it smogged??? She says go home and do it online with this site. I went to the registration page and entered the info. It says suspended go to DMV site?? If the DMV office cannot accept the insurance letter from State Farm insurance what am I supposed to do on this site??????????????????????
I have a repaired car sitting in a shop waiting to be picked up and no one at the DMV seems to know what to do??? Man this is so frustrating
Any help from anyone at the DMV would be nice.
solution: You will need someone else drive with you to the SMOG shop_ DMV's IQ is 2.5 out of 10
tow it to smog check duh
If they will give you another temp? you may only be able to get one per year,
but i think you can get a one day move permit if that helps.
pay the reg fees, take it to smog check with your incomplete reg.
If you get pulled over show them the incomplete reg that shows you just paid it and explain your on the wayt to get the smog to complete.
been pulled over 3 times in this situation and every time i was let go immediately with a warning because showing them that told them i was doing everything possible with in the law to take care of the issue.
The law is clear the Report Of Deposit of Fees you have is not a valid registration.
And you can not drive in California without a Valid registration so consider it the cops choice.
sorry but it's just a frustration story after another and it never ends. It's mind buddling how some of these people that were hired by DMV to help the public and paid for by your tax money and yet are poorly trained or can't even understand them. Some of them spoke with heavy accent, I got frustrated and left.
if the person at the window is unable to help you - you can ask to speak to a manager or supervisor to help you out. If a person has an accent that you are unable to understand you can ask to them to speak slower and do not leave unless you understand. Do be put off, be patience and pleasant. They are workers, citizens just like you- they have families like you.
i have the same issue going on, after waiting in the office for an hour and a half the lady tells me my reg is suspended and I need to get insurance verified. I held up my proof of ins and said here you go you can verify that this car is now insured. I asked why she couldnt do it. She told me "we dont have the manpower to do that". THAN WHY ARE YOU SITTING HERE!! I wanted to yell at her. I mean really? All she had to do was LOOK at the document I was giving her.
Anyhow she gave me this website amd told me that I could probably get the confirmation number she needed and come back within the same day. I said ok, so I just come back to this window once I have it? No, she says, I have to stand back in line. AHHHHH!
I sold an enclosed trailer, that was registered in Indiana, to a gentlemen about a year ago. I did'nt think to have him sign a release since it was an older trailer and not worth much. Well, here it is almost a year later and i've deleted his phone number from my phone and all text messages from him inquiring on the trailer, thinking everything is ok...well it's not. I recieved a letter in the mail from the city of Oceanside parking enforcement with a hefty fine on this trailer of $540. I call the number listed and they simply said i have to send them a copy of the release and when i told them i didnt have him sign one, they said i had to contact DMV about it. So now what do i do, i dont know where to begin and i certainly dont want to get stuck paying on a trailer that i sold that long ago.
i want to know how much it will cost me to change the title of a car i just bought to my name?
if it is a gift from parents or with same last name you will pay 15 to 20 dollars,other wise you will have to pay the sales tax on the purchased price plus 15 to 20 dollars
My mother just passed away. She has a vehicle with a loan on it. The bank said we should try and sale the car because she owes less then what the value of the vehicle is. However I am not sure how to go about changing the title with a lein still on the vehicle? Anyone ever do this? I have a dealer who will buy it because it is in good condition and low mileage but they said the title has to be in my name.
The loan must be satisfied before the vehicle can be sold. DMV will not allow a vehicle to be registered that has a lien on it. I know this for a fact because I just tried to donate a vehicle. The new owner went to DMV to register it, but was turned away because the records show it still has a lien on it. The lien MUST be satisfied/cleared/released by the lien holder. Otherwise, DMV will not allow the vehicle to be registered in another name until the lien holder has released the vehicle.
I want to move a car to our second home in Mississippi from CA. But I can't keep in aCA tag on it becuse I would have to bring it back for Smog TEST. Do I get a MS tga and still keep my CA drivers License?
how do i cancel my registration
I have a 1999 Grand Am that I blew up the valves and would of cost more to fix it. How do I get this car out of my name?
I have a question and thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
My Mom passed away last month and the title of her car was in her sole name. We have a buyer for the car. I am the executor of her estate and will. Can I sign the Pink Slip and transfer the title to the buyer and then attach a copy of the Death Certificate and Her Trust/Will documents showing my Power of Attorney. I would hope I can accomplish it this way instead of having to reregister into my name and then only to wait for a new Pink Slip and then turn around and sign it. We will be delayed with this buyer?? Thanks.
I have a truck with registrations suspended due to the inability of not showing proof of insurance. As of Jan 13. Now I no longer drive it but when I wanna re register the truck will o
I be penalized? Is there a way to place it on non operational online???? Your assistance with this concern will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
i have a 1992 truck i got a nitice of suspension my name is maria victoria elizarraraz

Respond to Review of ZiZi's Take Out
by hoffmans2
Review: This is the most filling vegan food I've ever had. I am NEVER able to finish what I get, even if it's just one wrap! Occasionally, they offer a weekend brunch special featuring tofu scramble, veggie ham, grits, and blueberry pancakes. It is totally worth it! The carob shake is delicious. The sweet tea is amazing. The 'crispy chicken' wrap usually hits the spot. They also have an amazing salad called the Spicy Tofu Salad. That's a great choice for those who are naive about eating realistic faux meat products.
