A collaboration between healthcare solutions provider, Novartis, and Pear Therapeutics has been announced that aims to develop digital therapeutics for patients with schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Digital health collaboration
The companies will work together, drawing on Novartis' expertise in biomedical research and clinical development and Pear Therapeutics' experience in digital therapeutics design and implementation, to develop new treatments for MS and schizophrenia that better address the full burden of the illnesses.
In particular, the companies will partner in advancing the clinical development of Pear's digital therapeutic for patients with schizophrenia — Thrive. This prescription digital therapeutic is used in conjunction with medication to treat patients and provides real-time patient monitoring and support through a patient-facing smartphone app and clinican-facing web interface.
"Psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases place a heavy physical, mental and economic burden on patients and their families," said Dr Jay Bradner, president of the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research. "With widespread adoption of digital devices, prescription digital therapeutics could potentially play an important role in future treatment models for a range of diseases with high unmet medical need."
"We look forward to working with Novartis, an organisation known for excellence in biomedical science, to develop much needed treatments for patients suffering from schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis," commented Dr Corey McCann, PhD, president and CEO of Pear. "Novartis shares our vision for prescription digital therapeutics that work alongside drugs to deliver superior patient outcomes. We believe this collaboration further supports the clinical viability of prescription digital therapeutics as an emerging treatment modality and we are poised to execute on that opportunity."

If you are considering buying real estate, then these helpful tips and tricks will definitely make an impact on your buying decisions. Just by using these valuable resources can save you money and time. You will discover many secrets that real estate agents do not want you to know.
The value of residential real estate is influenced by educational opportunities – that is, the kind of schools near a house will affect that house's price. Schools of any sort in close proximity are a plus, but the condition and reputation of the schools are also factors. Schools that parents love will boost a nearby house's value more than schools that parents consider troubled.
In order to buy a new home wisely, you should carefully inspect the property you wish to purchase. If you notice any problems, make note of them and discuss them with the seller. The more things you can get them to fix prior to the sale, the better. This will add value to the home and save you from costly repairs down the road.
Know the maximum amount that you want to pay for a home or that you can afford to pay for a home. Getting a pre-approval from a lender can help you know how much this is. Just because you got pre-approved for a certain amount does not mean that you have to buy a house for that much.
Start your plan for buying a home a year or more before you start the physical home buying process. You will want to take this time to make yourself more attractive to prospective lenders. Get a copy of your annual credit report, and review it for any discrepancies. Lenders will look at your debt to income ratio closely. So if you are holding a lot of debt try paying off a few of these accounts before looking for a mortgage.
When purchasing a home, respect the seller's priorities. Doing so can help you to negotiate a deal that works for everyone. A seller may not be willing to budge on price, but might help with closing costs or settle on a different closing date. Working together can be advantageous for everyone.
To save money on your financing when you buy real estate have all of your conversations with the mortgage broker documented by having everything done through email. By requiring that everything is in writing this way there will be back up in case they want to change the rate or terms at a later date.
Don't trust your own numbers. Have a trusted financial advisor look over them as well, to ensure that you have not overlooked or excluded anything that may prove quite important. Having someone else crunch the numbers not only increases their accuracy, but also improves the confidence level you will have when purchasing your home.
Stick to your gut. You know a good decision when you see one and you know a bad decision too. Your instinct can tell you a lot about whether or not something is right for you. Use that intuition when it comes to real estate purchases. If something doesn't feel right, don't push it. There is a lot of money at stake.
If you are considering purchasing a foreclosed home, ask your lender about foreclosure brokers. Most lenders that provide loans on foreclosed homes also have an agent that they work with to show and sell the homes. These realtors are used to working with foreclosed homes and with that lending instituion, which will speed the process of finding and buying your home.
Now that you have learned about using these tips to your advantage, you will be able to get a better real estate deal. No matter what type of real estate property you are looking at, just by using these tips will enhance your buying potential and help you to save money.

This event is targeting business, user experience, and hi-tech college and university students in the Fraser Valley, but is open to anyone over the age of 18 who wants to get involved.
Starts at 5PM on Friday, March 22nd, and wraps up at 5PM the next day. Yes, it is an overnight event, including a midnight Halo FFA tournament to keep the adrenaline going!
The event is happening in Building A at UFV Chilliwack
There are no limits on the projects, as long as it is driven by hi-tech. Some examples would be software, video games, hardware, robotics, internet-of-things, artificial intelligence, and cryptocurrencies. With that said, no equipment is provided, technical participants are expected to bring the tools they plan to work with. Projects using hardware and robotics may choose to work partially offsite outside of the education and mentorship hours to access equipment if needed.
No problem! We will start the event off by playing match maker between people and teams, and teams and business ideas. If you have an idea you want to explore, bring it to the table. If you have an existing team, you are more than welcome to enter as a team. Ideal team sizes are typically 3 to 5, but existing teams may be any size.
Any and all levels of experience are welcome. Everyone will learn from the experience.
Although each team will be allowed to follow its own path, you will be given a recommended process to follow. This process is based on the first parts of the Market Validation program, as run by various venture accelerators in BC.
We have also put together a panel of experienced entrepreneurs, business development experts, and technical experts to help you throughout the event. These mentors will be available Friday evening and Saturday morning.
Since it is perfectly valid to build solutions on top of existing open source material, it is also valid to start building on top of an existing code base that one or more team members may bring to the table. However, the whole point of the Startup Hackathon is that teams use this time to pivot and iterate, both the business plan and the technology. Whatever you start with, isn't likely to remain the same by the end of the event.
You bet! The first placed team will win:
We have a panel of all-star judges to select the winning team, plus input from our mentors. Each judge has a different business and industry background, and have been selected to apply the judging criteria to each team. The judging criteria closely matches the expected outcome from the recommended process described during the education block and will be emailed to all registered participants on Thursday March 21st. The five judges are as follows:
This category is for team building and is not-competitive. Each existing company (has revenue stream from existing product(s) or service(s)) will be given the opportunity to present their project to the public during the final presentations in order to raise awareness and gain valuable feedback. If you have formed a company but are still pre-revenue you are able to compete with the other teams.
Invite your family and friends to be the first to see what your team created! All members of the community are welcome to come and cheer on all teams, and potential investors are encouraged to chat with the teams after the awards.
In order to keep the adrenaline running there will be a Halo Free-for-All Tournament at midnight! Each team will nominate one individual to compete for them, and it will all be decided by one single game on the map Truth. The gaming equipment will be provided, and the game will run on a local LAN server. You are welcome to bring your own controller and you NEED TO bring your own headphones or earbuds. The wining team will get a caffeine run provided by Wisebox and a $100 gift card for Original Joe's.
Registrations are right below and close end-of-day on March 19th... If you are late, we would still love to have you join us; but please don't delay, register today! Registration costs $10 plus GST, and includes snacks and drinks throughout the event. Bring your own meals, or order them in. Note that due to the competitive nature of this event, it required a minimum of 16 registered participants by March 19th in order for us to run it: Please do encourage your friends to join you :)

abracadabra it's a platform
Macromedia have announced that they'll start referring to Flash as a platform. Seems to be getting linked alot for a move that at the end of the day is pretty much just a marketing initiative. (Not to say it isn't a wise move – bound to help in the flash as a web application technology initiative).
Probably the tidbits on the upcoming Flash Player that are part of the platform overview pdf are helping to generate some of that excitement.
As well as the announcement that Macromedia have joined the Eclipse foundation and are planning a RIA development tool in the form of an Eclipse plugin. It seems that it will be a replacment for FlexBuilder. Atleast to begin with – some comments in Sho Kuwamoto's blog could lead one to believe that they are considering something similar for (non-Flex) Flash application development.

More than 90 percent of people diagnosed with glaucoma today will retain useful vision (blindness is rare).
In certain cases however, it may not be possible to control the glaucoma well enough to retain useful vision. This is often where the condition has been diagnosed at the late stage, treatments have been ineffective, or where the person with glaucoma has had difficulty taking the prescribed medications.
If your vision has deteriorated to an extent where you have difficulty carrying out normal daily tasks, much can be done to help you to use your remaining vision effectively. You should contact your ophthalmologist to find out about low vision aids.

In Pennsylvania, there are laws that make it so anyone who commits certain crimes will have their ability to wield firearms taken away. Marros Law Office understands that your gun rights are important and will work with you to see what can be done about restoring them.

in the workplace, when you've been asked not to talk about something, why is it that someone invariably keeps asking about it? yesterday, i got an email about meeting with administration about switching grade levels for next year. they wanted me to loop up to third grade. i won't be truly looping, since i doubt that i'll get my entire class again. that'd be far too much time with some of them (and not enough for others!) i was asked also to not discuss the move with anyone until letters came out to everyone with their tentative grade level assignments today. no problem. since i agreed to that, i feel like i've lied to at least five coworkers when they've asked if i got an email or had a meeting. the cat's out of the bag now, the letters are out, and i have to deal with the rumor outbreak and emotional mess it might cause with my current grade level. it feels almost deceptive, and there really was no way for me to respond to their questions without at the very least admitting that i'd had a meeting, which not everyone had! grrr...
where do professionalism and personalism intersect in the workplace? moreso in a school, i feel the line between the two gets blurred often and readily as most of the people who go into teaching tend to be cut from the same mold. with that much in common, it's easy to become friends with coworkers, even if we don't interact too much outside of school. i have a hard time dealing with these personal relationships as i don't have a whole lot in common with too many teachers at my school. i never have. sure, we have similar interests here and there, but middle-aged married/divorced mothers aren't in my usual entourage. it explains why i've sought out the younger teachers or the few men at this school as friends, or why i always befriended the interns in florida.

Feeling good about ourselves is something we all struggle with to some degree. With so many unrealistic beauty standards thrown our way by the media, it's hard enough to deal with our own personal battles with our insecurities. But Tanya Burr is out here doing a service to all us ladies once again, and the things she has to say on body confidence are seriously inspiring.
For last week's Sunday upload, Tanya did a good ol' Q&A, answering all of our Twitter questions and offering up answers about whether her and Jim would ever consider getting Martha Moo a playmate, how many children she'd like and her fave lipsticks rn.
She also dedicated a lot of time when asked what her top tips for body confidence were, noting it was a topic matter she was very passionate about and which needs to be discussed more. And, it turns out, here tips were pretty damn incredible.
1. "Don't focus on having a figure that is totally unobtainable for you."
2. "Accept yourself and get to know your body. Don't fixate on the bits you hate; love and be kinder to yourself."
3. "Know that most people aren't going to be worrying about the way that you look. They are going to be far more concerned with themselves and not even noticing anything that you're worrying about."
4. "Know that everyone is different. Everyone's bodies are different, no one's is exactly the same, and if they were it would be boring. It's our imperfections that make us beautiful as well."
5. "Move more and really get to know your body. Do some kind of getting out there and exercising, even if it's running around the park with your dog."
We feel so inspired and grateful after watching Tanya's video and strongly suggest you watch it in full to see her more in depth explanations for each of her tips. You won't regret it.
Have you seen the video already? What did you think? If you have any body confidence tips to add, tweet us @maximumpop.

Instead of dying down, the craze for autonomous vehicles is at an all-time high. While people from across the globe are eagerly waiting to get their hands on an autonomous car, scientists have already gone a step further. We have already come across autonomous vehicles which are compatible on land and also in the sky. For the first time, a ship without the need of operating crew will float on the surface of the sea. Norway is the country which made a breakthrough in technology and came up with the autonomous ship. According to the announcement, this ship will be capable of sailing independently by the year of 2018.
The ship dubbed as Yara Birkeland is the first of its kind to be absolutely autonomous. Shipping executives Tesla of the Seas are in-charge of this project. This autonomous ship is currently undergoing development which is estimated to get over by next year. This ship will aim to bring out basic cost of transportation of various materials. A single trip by a cargo ship is an expensive affair as it needs at least 25 crew members along with thousands of gallons of fuel. Along with this, it is harmful to the environment as it causes pollution and uses up a lot on conventional fuel. This ship might seem to be pricey at first but it will reduce the travel cost in the long run.
Advantages of this autonomous ship
Apart from being fully autonomous, this ship will also be completely electric. This means that the carbon emitted from such huge ships in tremendous quantity into the air and the sea water will come down drastically. The autonomous ship will have the capacity of carrying 100 shipping containers. Its first trip will be 37 miles long to transport fertilizer from its place of production to the Port of Larvik situated in Norway. This journey is designed in such a manner to remain in domestic waters as the International Maritime Organization will not jot down regulations for autonomous international shipping till the year of 2020.
This autonomous ship will tentatively cost around $25 million. This price is three times more than that of a usual ship. Despite its high price, it will be cheaper than the traditional ships without the expense of fuel and crew members. If everything goes as planned, this electric ship will substitute 40,000 truck drives annually. It will also result in 90 percent lower operating cost.

The Near Coherence of Filters Principle does not imply the Filter Dichotomy Principle
and Shelah. [MdSh:894]
Transactions American Math Soc, 2009
We show that there is a forcing extension in which any two ultrafilters on omega are nearly coherent and there is a non-meagre filter that is not nearly ultra. This answers Blass' longstanding question (cite[3]) whether the principle of near coherence of filters is strictly weaker than the filter dichotomy principle.

Leblanc holds the record!
William Leblanc has finally become the best archer in life of the Inouk in a season ! "Will The Thrill" has registered two goals on Friday night in Montreal-North, in a victory surprisingly ditch the face yet sad Arctic, which has six small wins after 43 games.
The Inouk have won 4-3 in a shootout. Leblanc scored two goals, his 56th and 57th, before making the difference in the shootout by being the only player to thread the needle. He has also amassed a password.
"The question of the record is finally set !, has sighed the one that well surpasses the mark of 55 goals set in a season by Érik Longtin in 2014-2015. Honestly, I'm happy, I'm happy and I'm proud of. The Inouk are a large organization of junior AAA and I am proud to find myself in the book of the history of the franchise. And if you allow, I would like to say thank you to my teammates, who have had their big say in my success. "
The last few weeks have not been easy for Leblanc, who had the pressure on the shoulders. But he will now be able to move on to something else.
"I'm relieved, that's for sure. I felt a little less pressure since I had tied the record and I feel it even less after tonight. It's done, it's done and it's good. "
About the match, "The Thrill" will say that this was not a walk in the park, far from it.
"We ran out of opportunism, but it is also stumbled upon a guardian [Cedric Lariviere] that didn't know. But hey, we won… "
Patrice Bosch was more direct, even more scathing in his comments.
"The guys thought it would be easy and they almost have to play a nasty turn. We have not played a big game and we will say, we were lucky. "
All the same, Bosch has had good words for William Leblanc.
"He played a good game and it deserves what happens to him. It is impressive what he has done this season. "
76 shots !
The Inouk have made 76 shots on Cedric Lariviere, certainly, a top this season in the junior hockey League AAA. At the other end, Hugo Duteau has been put to the test 20 small time.
"Lariviere has been good, it is true, but it was far from being fire all dangerous ", took over Bosch, clearly dissatisfied with the performance of his team.
Louis-Philippe Denis (he added two assists and now has 30 goals) scored the other thread for Inouk-time regular.
The Inouk (33-11-1) will be in Gatineau on Sunday afternoon.

Amber is fossilized pine resin, is ancient and valuable, like an antique.
Particularly strong is the demand for amber with insects inside, due to its ability to preserve the characteristics and the DNA of the bodies trapped.
"Amber is like a time capsule created by nature itself," said David Federman, author of Consumer Guide to Colored Gemstones.
"It has helped palaeontologists reconstruct life on earth in its early stages. More than 1,000 extinct species of insects have been identified in".
Already the Stone Age man imbued amber with supernatural powers and used it to wear and to worship. A stone which I keep 'its value and meaning to the Assyrians, Egyptians, Etruscans, Phoenicians and Greeks.
The Greeks called it "electron" meaning "created by the sun": the mythology has it that Phaeton, son of Apollo, convinced his father to allow him to drive the chariot of the sun across the sky for a day, but it went too close to the ground incendiandola.
To save the earth, Zeus struck Phaethon with a thunderbolt and he died when he fell from the sky. The mother and sister turned into a tree to their pain. Their tears, dried by the sun, became Amber.
The Romans sent armies to conquer and control the producing areas. The Emperor Nero was a great connoisseur of amber. In his time, he wrote the Roman historian Pliny, the price of an amber figurine, used to make jewellery, earrings and necklaces, was greater than that of a slave in good health.
The Features
E 'a fossilized resin from various species of plants. Amber is from golden yellow to 'golden orange, but it is also green, red, purple and black. From transparent to translucent, occurs in small nodules or masses with irregular shapes.
It becomes electrically charged when rubbed with a cloth and can attract small particles.
It has a hardness of not very high, at 2.5. The main sources of amber on the market today are the Baltic States, Russia, Mexico, Lebanon and the Dominican Republic.
Amber has a strong detoxifying power not only physical but also psychological. Is very useful for severe depression, as its use absorbs negative energy and cancels it.

Six Organs Of Admittance - Burning The Threshold
In preparing for the first album of Six Organs of Admittance music since 2012's Ascent, Ben Chasny had a think about what he'd be saying in his own tongue for the first time in a half-decade. As ever, a head-full of ideas were driving him to think and speak music as a spirituality superimposed onto a reality, with the ghosts of both whispering at each other. In the end, what sits in our listening ears is the sound of communion. Burning the Threshold brings a wealth of Six Organs-styled lightness into one of his sweetest musical meditations yet. With a spacious acoustic sound stage, Burning the Threshold may actually more resemble 2011's Asleep on the Floodplain or 2005's School Of The Flower. All of this is speculative, comparative, unverifiable – but our sense of what is true tells us that nobody plays acoustic music quite like Six Organs of Admittance, and that furthermore, nothing sounds so much like Burning the Threshold as Burning the Threshold. Ben is in a particularly expansive mood this time around, singing and playing with all the thoughts affixed to a quiver of potent melodies launching forth and arcing out through dimensions, seeking infinite space. This space radiates out from the album's first single, Taken By Ascent, a seven minute plus burner that engulfs the surrounding realm with empathetic waves. Featuring the thrilling vocal accompaniment of Haley Fohr, the massive drumming of Chris Corsano, and flourishing keys of Cooper Crain, Taken By Ascent exemplifies Six Organs of Admittance's furvid push into new and thrilling territory with Burning the Threshold.

What Is the Fashion Revolution?
Guest Blogger: Anna from STRUCKBLOG
An Eastward Journey
This blog post was written by Kate Fisher, Co-owner/Creative Director of Synergy. She is currently visiting India and Nepal, working with our manufacturers and checking in on our factories.
It was very sweet to be back in Pushkar after 7 years. It felt like a pilgrimage for me, back to a place I know so well, where I spent so much time growing up and into myself as a devotee of life and of the sacred, and learning to lay the foundation of my business. It was my training ground in business , buying in the markets, working with tailors, and learning how to design clothing, a business school and fashion design school all rolled into a beautiful gypsy village in the desert of Rajasthan. It captivated my young adventurous freedom loving spirit. There I learned the art of international commerce and about a sacred and simple life that exists in the quiet beauty of the village of Pushkar, with the holy waters of the lake as the crown jewel of the desert, where I went for my daily morning oblations and prayers, and brought fresh flower garlands and ghee to my favorite deities. It is the kind of place where when you return everyone stops you on the street and greets you and welcomes you in for chai and remembers exactly how long it has been since you were there last. It is a village I came to every year for 15 years, where I formed deep friendships and connections to the people, the culture, the deities, and spirits of the lake and village.

The Organic Promise
Guest Blogger: Katie Jo
We are humbled on a daily basis by the women who wear Synergy Organic Clothing while doing incredible things. This post is the first in a series of guest blog spots written by inspirational women who kick butt while wearing Synergy!
Hi everyone! My name is Katie Jo and I'm a climbing instructor from Southern California. This past Saturday I reached a pretty big climbing milestone by successfully climbing a 5.13a sport route, a difficult achievement I never imagined would be possible when I first began climbing five years ago. The only things I could picture then, were my feet slipping, the rock crumbling, and myself, tumbling into open space. Though I grew up with a mountaineering father and always felt drawn to the mountains and crags, I was also terrified of heights! My first time sport climbing outside, I was so scared of falling that I cried at every bolt!
But along with the opportunities to be outdoors and the supportive community it provides, this same fear, is one of the big reasons why I have come to love climbing so much. It's a sport that never ceases to challenge, both mentally and physically. Climbing presents constant obstacles, teaching you to focus, trust in yourself, think of creative solutions, and be completely in the moment in order to overcome. Along the way, the rock will crumble, your feet will slip, and you'll take plenty of falls, but I have come to realize that these are only opportunities to get back up, to work a little harder, to reach a little further. And when you reach the anchors of your most difficult route, it's pretty incredible to realize that you are capable of things you never imagined!
Climbing has made such a positive impact on my life and for this reason I love sharing it with others. I'm very grateful to Synergy for their support and for giving me an opportunity to write about this amazing sport. If anybody out there has any questions about climbing, please reach out via IG (@katiejo.myers) or my blog (katiejo.wildc.net). I would love to hear from you!In this shoot Katie is wearing our Native Summer Bra and Basic Capri Pants

The media anointed Stephen Curry as the NBA's Most Valuable Player last season, something players did not agree with.
James Harden obviously sides with his peers, insisting that he's the League's best player, and maintaining that the 2014-15 MVP belonged to him.
Harden finished with averages of 27.4 points, 7.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds and dragged the Houston Rockets all the way to the Western Conference Finals, where they were eliminated by Curry and the eventual champion Golden State Warriors.
Per NBA.com:
"You don't think I can do more?" Harden asks. "Just wait. I'll show you." […] "I am the best player in the league. I believe that," he said. "I thought I was last year, too."
"I know I was the MVP," Harden said. "That's 100 percent given all the things that happened last season. Credit the Golden State Warriors for an unbelievable year. They had an unbelievable team, coaching staff, everything. But that award means most valuable to your team. We finished second in the West, which nobody thought we were going to do at the beginning of the year even when everybody was healthy. We were near the top in having the most injuries. We won our division in a division where every single team made the playoffs. There's so many factors. I led the league in total points scored, minutes played. Like I said, I'm not taking anything away from Steph, but I felt I deserved the Most Valuable Player. That stays with me."
"To be honest, I thought I had more in the tank when I went out onto the court that night," he said. "But it was a long, tiring, beat-down season … Playing the most [total] minutes in the league, dealing with so many injuries every single day … It's a wear-and-tear. It's a grind. It was so frustrating, because in that Game 5 I turned the ball over 12 times. I pride myself on creating opportunities to score for my team. So those 12 possessions, instead of getting a shot for myself or one of my teammates, I'm giving an extremely talented Golden State offensive team extra possessions. And you just can't do that in the playoffs. […] So that's what my offseason has been all about — better conditioning and better preparation for this time."

China has been taking flak for its relatively small contribution to the international aid effort in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan. It's pledged about $1.7m so far compared to much larger amounts from the US, Japan and European countries. One possible explanation for this is the escalating dispute over maritime borders between Beijing and Manila, although the slow bureaucratic gears in China may also responsible. But if China wants to be seen as a global – or even regional – power, the argument goes, then it should be contributing more to global public goods, such as humanitarian aid. But does China see itself as a global power and how do the Chinese view their integration into the global economy and their new-found international influence? Here's a review I've written of leading sinologist, David Shambaugh's latest book which unpacks Beijing's impact on the world

Nuclear war called off in Korea – time to relax?
Something quite significant happened this week– though you may have missed it.
It seems the US military doesn't think there will be nuclear war with North Korea.
A few weeks ago, you could have been forgiven for thinking we were on the brink of something similar to the Cuban Missile crisis of 1962. Pyongyang was threatening a nuclear strike on America and the US – in an unusual move – publicly announced nuclear-capable stealth bombers were taking part in joint military exercises with South Korea.
But then this Monday, unreported by most media, the US Army commander in the Pacific, Lt. Gen. Francis Wiercinski, said he thought 'the current cycle of provocation (by the North) has come to its end point'.
Things have probably quietened down because the joint exercises are over and the leadership in the North feel they've achieved whatever it is they set out to do.
For instance, also this week, the North Korean Defence Minister was replaced . Although we don't know for sure why he was given the push, there's speculation it's part of efforts by the isolated communist state's young leader, Kim Jong-Un, to consolidate his hold on power. Kim is the grandson of the North Korea's founder, Kim Il-sung; but at only 30 he'd had very little time to build a power base of his own when he inherited the leadership on the sudden death of his father, Kim Jong Il, 18 months ago. Indeed, many North Korea watchers attribute the recent nuclear sabre-rattling to Kim's attempt to build support inside the corridors of power in Pyongyang by appearing strong and martial.
Whatever the reason, the North has also removed missiles it had deployed on its east coast near the border with the South.
So we can breathe a sigh of relief then? Continue reading

At Sunny Days, we support children with developmental delays and disabilities reach their complete possible and live enriching lives. For children with autism spectrum problems, a systematic system referred to as the Image Exchange Communication Technique (PECS) has been created and has gained growing acceptance as a beneficial tool for enhancing communication skills. Young children who are deemed eligible will have assessments performed to establish the specific requirements of the kid.
Option technology" substitutes for functional impairments related to a disability (eg, adapted power wheelchairs for youngsters who have quadriplegia). The physician or therapist who prescribes or recommends a VOCA or assistive devices in common have to also accept responsibility for ensuring that the child and all caregivers obtain proper training and monitoring for the use of the device. Assistive technology, like AAC systems, can be thought of as low-tech, mid-tech, or higher-tech.
There are images and descriptions of some assistive technology that I discovered about even though undertaking analysis for the project. Objective 1: Utilizing assistive technology Jenny will be capable to realize the time. Behavioral objective two: Justin will understand the time limit for each activity in class day-to-day four out of 5 occasions with help of at least 1 assistive tech.
This webinar will support you realize what is required to qualify for assistive technologies services and typical legal issues the Disability Law Center has addressed regarding assistive technologies. Communication skills are ranked as the concern of highest priority for adults with physical disabilities and, for that reason, need to be of paramount value for youngsters with impaired communication and their families. This write-up outlines the significance of the use of technologies for students with disabilities. I believe that as lengthy as little ones use technology moderately, they control technologies.
The toy has six games for young children to play, that contain music, animals, letters, e-mail, and so forth. If a low-tech remedy solves a certain difficulty, then more sophisticated technology may possibly not be needed presently (but might be in the future). For youngsters who have visual impairment, three-dimensional objects that can be felt might be substituted for photos. Aids include standers and devices that help youngsters in preserving a selection of positions. Software can teach the exact same lessons the rest of the students are receiving, whilst providing diverse methods for kids to respond. Though such electronic devices may be the very best answer for a specific dilemma, they represent only the larger finish of the spectrum of technologies. It also gives some suggestions about to get a far better understanding of the various technologies by renting various AT devices from applications that give them.

Knowing how the parts of a car alarm work can help us better understand what an alarm system can and can't do for us.
However, when you hear a car alarm going off, it is usually due to improperly adjusted impact sensors. The impact sensor is the most common and most problematic sensor. This is a device that senses vibrations which could be caused by someone attempting to break in. These impact sensors have an adjustable sensitivity setting. Often, these sensors are left with the sensitivity set way too high. This condition can cause a car alarm to go off, for example, if another car drives past or if someone bumps his or her car door lightly. To ensure your car alarm's impact sensor is set properly, remember this rule. It should take a good hard slap to set off the alarm. If the alarm goes off by just bumping your car, the impact sensor requires adjustment. It is necessary for equipment installers to ensure that every impact sensor is not set to sensitive, since this will cut down on the number of false alarms.
The next most common sensor in car alarms is the door sensor. These door sensors trigger the car alarm if any door is opened. This can include the hood and trunk as well, depending on the installed alarms configuration. Door sensors can even be used to protect removable car stereos. Some high-end car alarms also come with optional proximity sensors. A proximity sensor is a device that monitors for motion within its range. If you get too close to the vehicle, the proximity sensor will trigger the alarm. There is also an option where this sensor can be used with a verbal warning. The intruder is given a 10 to 15 second period to back away from the car before the alarm sounds. These talking alarms can really startle an innocent bystander!
There are a few sensors that are still relatively new to the market. The first one is the audio sensor. This sensor monitors for the noise of someone breaking or attempting to break a vehicle's window. The other one is a temperature sensor. This one is triggered by a sudden increase in temperature inside the car, which is normal when someone enters a car, especially in a colder environment.
It is important to understand what happens when a car alarm is set off. Most everyone is familiar with the loud siren and flashing lights. All car alarms, when engaged, disable the vehicle's starter. This is the primary defense against car thieves. If they can't start it, they can't steal it. Most car alarm systems also come standard with a tilt sensor. This causes the alarm to sound if someone tries to tow the vehicle while the alarm is engaged. This won't prevent it from happening, but it will draw attention to what is going on. Some car alarms also send an alert to the vehicle owner through a small paging device. This way, the owner can respond to the alarm even if he or she is out of audible range.
Hopefully, by addressing the problem with impact sensor sensitivity setting and discussing some of the primary ways an alarm system can help keep a car from being stolen, we as a society can begin to better appreciate what car alarms are capable of doing for us.

The editorial page is my favorite section of the paper. One can read the editorial opinion of the newspaper on a wide range of issues. One can see the editorial cartoons that satirize and lampoon issues and people in creative ways. And you can read the letters-to-the-editor. Some people write in once in a lifetime; others write in more frequently. Many are political: lauding Bush or attacking Bush. Condemning or defending the American presence in Iraq…
There is nothing wrong with civil disagreement of opinion. It's both interesting and entertaining to watch (and maybe be involved with) the back and forth in the paper. However, I am increasingly concerned with the ease in which people get "mishistory" into print.
In less than a one week period (November 8-13), there were three letters-to-the-editor that misrepresented the facts in order to disseminate the authors' opinions. To have an opinion based upon fact is respectable. To twist history or omit history to achieve a subjective agenda is harmful. When "mishistory" is disseminated, it gives credence to the letters' contents. After all, if it's in the paper, then it must be true, right? The editorial staff of any paper receives so many letters, that many cannot be printed. This I know. Unfortunately, when "mishistory" is printed and is left unchallenged –then some may be swayed. When such letters involve xenophobia, people can be hurt.
For example, Patrick Clark ("French wages of sin," 11/13/05) suggests that the rioters in France are "the same groups that we have been engaged within Iraq for the last several years." Point of fact: the rioters are Algerian-French citizens who are complaining about unemployment and racism. Yes, many are Muslim, but no they are not Iraqi-Sunni nationalists fighting against a government that they believe to be imposed and nor are they radical fundamentalists who purport to support a religion whose very teachings they violate.
Luckily, after I began writing this piece, Naomi Herzfeld had a letter printed in the paper which corrected Clark's ignorance:
French riots about poverty, not religion
01:00 AM EST on Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Did Patrick Clark consult anything except his prejudices when he claimed, in his Nov. 13 letter ("French wages of sin"), that the French rioters are fanatic Muslim terrorists, "the same groups" as those in Iraq? Does he also believe that every Irish Catholic who commits violence is a member of the IRA?
Read your newspaper, Mr. Clark. The rioters are native French citizens, angry at a government that keeps them living in slums, lacking educational and employment opportunities, treated like second-class citizens because of their immigrant descent.
I don't condone their violence, but these men are no more religious terrorists than the African-Americans who rioted in Watts and Los Angeles under similar conditions.
The only thing the French rioters have in common with Islamic extremists is that they call God by the same name — as do a billion peaceful, hard-working people throughout the world.
Let's go with the facts, not bigoted stereotypes.

About Joseph Purpura
Father Purpura has held other positions over the past forty years as well including Spiritual Advisor, Orthodox Camp Director, and Pastoral positions. As part of his work teaching youth, Father Purpura has traveled across North America to train other adult youth workers on best practices and strategies for working with young people.
At the moment Father Purpura teaches as Professor of Youth Ministry for the Antiochian House of Studies. Father Purpura has also taught as an Adjunct Professor of Youth Ministry at Holy Cross Orthodox School Of theology and at Saint Vladimir's Seminary. The course that he teaches provides an in-depth look at the different ministries that students will one day be a part of. It also examines best practices of Orthodox Youth Ministry throughout the United States and Canada to help students understand how to relate to youth and aid the Church in forming ministries that attract young people.
Becoming an Orthodox Priest
From the time that he was a child, Father Purpura knew that he wanted to be an Orthodox priest. He enrolled in St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary immediately after graduating high school. During his time in the seminary, he also earned his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Iona College. After being assigned to work in Connecticut, Father Purpura earned a Master's Degree in Sacred Theology from Yale University. In 1999 Father Purpura earned his Doctor of Ministry from Pittsburgh Theological School. His final Doctoral Project was titled "Moral and Ethical Issues Confronting Orthodox Youth."
Across the years one of the most important lessons that Father Purpura has learned is that all young people have the ability to become leaders and excel regardless of the mistakes that they may have made. Often young people who are labeled "bad" are in fact suffering in some way. Father Purpura enjoys assisting young people on their path of learning from their mistakes and becoming more involved in the Church.
The Very Rev. Dr. Joseph F Purpura presented the Invocation to a crowd of about 1,700 people attending the 2011 CADCA Awards Luncheon on Thursday, February 10, 2011. Fr Joseph served as the Chairman of the Department of Youth and Parish Ministries.

Hello everyone! Today I'm bringing to you the 3rd and final Etude House Pink Bird post of the month, and this time on skincare! I'm quite excited to share this one with you guys, because it's on a line of products I've been using and loving for a little over a year now – the Soon Jung skincare line! I'll be reviewing the pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser, pH 5.5 Relief Toner, 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm, and Moist Relief All In One Gel.
The Soon Jung line was created specifically for those with sensitive skin, and contains 90%+ naturally-derived ingredients, leaving out common irritants like fragrance, artificial color, and parabens.
.。゚☆ pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser ☆゚。.
The pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser claims to be a mild, "weakly acidic formula" designed to cleanse your skin without stripping it and leaving it taut and dry. It contains Panthenol (related to Vitamin B5) for hydration, and Madecassoside (derived from the Centella Asiatica plant) for its supposed skin-healing properties.
Above you can see the full list of ingredients, also available here on CosDNA. Etude House claims the ingredients in this are 98.9% naturally derived!
The product is dispensed in an easy to use pump format. I find that one pump distributes more than enough to wash your face. My only qualms with the packaging are that for some reason the bottle always ends up feeling really tacky from slight leakage. This makes me think it might be leaking from the lower seam of the bottle (which I only just found out can be screwed open😅), so make sure it's screwed tightly shut and put it in a separate ziploc bag if you travel with it just in case!
Like a few of the products from the line, this cleanser comes in both a large version (150ml) and a small version (70ml). I've finished the smaller bottle last month after using it for several – a little goes a long way with this!
The texture comes out as a fluffy foam when you pump it into your hand (my hot studio lights melted it a bit so it got really runny😅), and feels quite light when rubbed onto your face. I find that this isn't strong as I like as an nighttime 3rd cleanser (makeup remover -> cleansing oil/balm -> this cleanser) on makeup-heavy days, but this is perfect as a morning cleanser/for days I wear little to no makeup. It's as gentle and soothing as it claims to be, and my skin feels soft after using it instead of stripped like it does with most cleansers.
While I prefer something a little more heavy-duty for nighttime cleansing, this works very well as a daily product that does a great job of cleansing my skin without irritating it or leaving it raw!
The cleanser retails for 7,000KRW for the 80ml size, and 11,000KRW for the 150ml size.
.。゚☆ pH 5.5 Relief Toner ☆゚。.
Etude House claims the pH 5.5 Relief Toner contains 97% natural ingredients and is meant to soothe, hydrate, and repair sensitive or damaged skin.
Because of its soothing properties it's the perfect toner for people who struggle with sensitive skin after being out in the sun, or if you get chapped, irritated skin in cold climates! I saw a review online that suggested putting the toner in the fridge and using it at the end of hot days, and I've really been enjoying using it that way. It feels so cooling and refreshing, and my skin drinks it up!
Full list of ingredients here.
This one comes in a whopping THREE sizes, 80ml, 180ml (above), and 350ml. The bottle is big at 180ml, so I'm quite curious to see how enormous the 350ml one must be 😂. I've previously gone through a bottle of the 80ml one in the past, but don't have a picture for comparison since I finished it quite a while before I finished the other products I've used in this post, for a reason I will explain below.
In order to get the product out you just shake it over your hand, which is a great for sanitary reasons, but I always find I end up getting more than I actually need because of it. This formula is also akin to water, so it's easy to end up with product waste if you're not careful! As long as you're careful when shaking it out you shouldn't have any problem with it😊.
The toner retails for 8,000KRW for the smallest 80ml bottle, 13,000KRW for the 180ml bottle (pictured), and 23,000KRW for the 350ml bottle.
.。゚☆ 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm ☆゚。.
The 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm contains 92% natural ingredients, and employs a low-irritant cica, an ingredient that is also derived from the Centella Asiatica (mentioned above) that's used to repair the skin barrier. It also supposedly helps with skin irritated from pollution and other damaging elements in the air.
Full list of ingredients on CosDNA here.
This one also comes in two sizes – 15ml and 40ml. I wish I could show you a better size comparison, but if I unravel the tube it'll split😅. As you can see, it's well-loved! I use this on all areas where I'm experiencing a break out or rash. I also apply this every night to my jawline where I have rough texture and redness from my keratosis pilaris, and I can 100% say that this really helped me with that! I've yet to discover something that can get rid of it completely, but this really helps calm down the redness and improve the texture of it for me. With how long this lasts and how effective and affordable it is, I will definitely be repurchasing this!
The 15ml size is 7,000KRW, and the 40ml size is 17,000KRW.
.。゚☆ Moist Relief All In One Gel ☆゚。.
The Moist Relief All In One Gel seems to be a newer addition to the line, as I could not find much information about it online in English. This is also the only one of the bunch I hadn't tried before!
This is apparently meant to act as a toner, emulsion, and essence in one, and can be used on any area of the body that needs some extra care and soothing. It also fights against the effects pollution has on your skin, which has been a big problem in Korea for the past few years.
Full ingredient list can be seen on CosDNA here.
I'd never used a multi-use skincare product quite like this, and experimented with different methods of application. On the first day I tried it by itself in the morning after washing my face, topping it with moisturizer and sunscreen. I found that with that method it wasn't enough hydration for my skin throughout the day and I got oily on my t-zone pretty quickly, which isn't something that normally happens to me.
On the next day I tried using my regular cleanser, toner, essence, and then this with sunscreen, using it to replace my regular emulsion/face oil step. That worked much better, and I found my skin felt nice and hydrated throughout the day.
It has a very thick, gel-like texture that spreads very easily over your skin.
It absorbs incredibly quickly into your skin, and leaves absolutely no sticky or wet residue at all! One thing I love about the Soon Jung line is how lightweight everything is – my skin just drinks the products up! Because of how quickly it absorbs I have found myself reapplying a thin layer once or twice during the day when my skin is feeling particularly irritated (which is a lot lately with how bad the air is here from all the wildfires!), and my skin feels cool and refreshed immediately after application.
At 12,000KRW for 120ml, where very little product goes a LONG way, I feel like this is a great product for those who suffer from sensitive, easily-irritated skin like I do! If that isn't you, I'd say you can skip it because I find it doesn't work great as a replacement product in my skincare lineup, and instead is best suited for targeting specific problems. Like the toner it's another great one to keep in the fridge for instant soothing over irritated areas! I also like using it after washing my face after going to the gym, since sweat always makes my skin itch and burn😝. Having said that, I probably wouldn't repurchase it because while I do like it, I find it basically has the same effect on my skin as using something like an aloe gel (eg. the Holika Holika 99% Soothing Gel), albeit better absorbing and much less sticky.
.。゚☆ Final Thoughts ☆゚。.
This line of products is seriously Holy Grail status for me. Another one I didn't mention in this review, the 10-Free Moist Emulsion, has completely changed my skin and is my favourite hydrating emulsion of all time! I've gone through a bottle and a half of it, and will 100% repurchase it again and again when I run out. Out of this bunch of products I reviewed, the Cica Balm is another fave since it really helps to calm down my keratosis pilaris and other skin issues. The cleanser is also a great affordable daily cleanser that goes such a long way, so I can see myself repurchasing it to use as my morning cleanser once I'm finished with this gigantic bottle. The toner is a give or take kind of situation for me, not because it's a bad product by any means, but because I'm so in love with my Klairs Supple Preparation toner that I feel like nothing will replace it at this point😩.
The line is so popular in Korea that various products from it have won several beauty awards, and it was recently featured as the best of the best on Director Pi's ranking of 56 products from Etude House! They also expanded the line recently to include even more products which I'm keen to check out because of my good experience with the ones I've already tried!
Have you tried anything from this line? If you haven't, does anything catch your eye? I'm not a huge skincare junkie because my skin is so finicky that once I find something I like I tend to stick with it, so I'm glad I found several of my HG in such an affordable line of products!
Phew, and that's it for this round of Pink Bird posts! Etude House is experimenting with a new format where instead of doing just 1 review a month we do 2, but this review was a "special mission" that I couldn't say no to once I saw what it was on😅. I'm still getting products together for my color series, so look forward to that! Thanks for stopping by, and until next time~ (`・ω・´)ノ

If you've never seen Stewart Lee perform standup, what are you doing reading this? He is quite simply the greatest comedian working today. Come back when you've spent hallf the day following the link below and the subsequent links it will give you.
Part of what makes Stewart Lee such a good comedian is his ability to take a point and thread it through 90 minutes of material, a lot of it needs to be viewed in context of the whole piece. This makes it hard to show clips of him and is possibly the reason that he is not more successful, in our current culture of talking heads, panelists and "duck house" jokes. This is partially solved by his BBC show, Comedy Vehicle, 6 half hour sets, which is not only the smartest comedy the BBC has commissioned in a long time, but has also been commissioned for a second series.
Amazon.co.uk – Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle
A quick look at what's available could lead you to think that Stewart has only been around for 10 years or so. Even looking at his home page you see his DVD's from 2001 onwards. The truth is he has been around for about 25 years, doing Edinburgh shows, small tours, and most famously, working with Richard Herring (also excellent, and also touring/putting out DVD's) on TV shows including Fist of Fun and This Morning with Richard not Judy. Stewart helpfully provides download for these otherwise unavailable shows on his site here.
To the book:
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I pre-ordered this book. I guessed it was an autobiography from the title, and I was half right. What I got was not what I expected, but as is so often the case, infinitely better than what I was expecting. What Stewart has done is take the story of his life while he was being sued for blasphemy after "Jerry Springer: The Opera", and how this bought him back to comedy and how he came to perform the three (to date) DVD's he has and dissect them, until they are laid bare before you. These bits sit between full transcripts of the three DVD's.
Now, Stewart Lee is known for not being afraid to throw a joke and then laboriously dissect what was wrong with the joke and why it isn't funny. This is where he gets his laughs and it is brilliant to see.
When I started the book and realised what he was doing, the thought of someone dissecting and explaining his dissection and explanation of jokes was a bit off putting. I needn't have worried. What we have here, is not only a story of how a failing career re-started itself and came to what it is today, but a deep insight to the thought processes and reasons for what he has done. The transcripts of the DVD's (as well as the narrative parts of the book) are heavily annotated (I think there are more footnotes than actual transcript) and this is where the real insight is. He will tell you where he gets an idea from, why he's phrased something very precisely, when and why he has lied or exaggerated, and loads of backstories and anecdotes.
For someone like me, the book is like a handbook, how to do comedy. From what I have seen on twitter and elsewhere on the internet, it would seem that most comedians in the country are poring over this book and loving it. It's also very funny, adding another layer of funny over three already brilliantly funny DVD's. It's a bit like a directors commentary on the DVD, but as it's written there is space to really deeply get into the subject.
You can buy the book here.
Stewart is currently touring, info and dates here.
