Bers Tufts University, USA Abstract / This article describes an eight-month pilot study in which 19 pediatric post-transplant patients at Children’s Hospital Boston, ages 11 to 15, used a computer-based psychosocial inter- vention developed on the Zora 3D multiuser environment. Zora provides tools to create an online virtual city and populate it with houses and personally-meaningful objects. Users can communicate with each other via real-time chat and participate in open-ended guided activities to create a social network of peers. Preliminary results support the idea that innovative technologies can help adoles- cent patients to create a support network of peers when face-to-face interactions are impossible. Key Words / children’s virtual community / health care / multi-user virtual environment / online games / real-time chat Introduction New media is having an impact in the way children learn, play and communicate. From video-games to virtual tutors, from I-pods to on-line shopping, today’s children are immersed in a culture in which computers and the internet are vastly used for most of their needs (Subrahmanyam et al., 2001). Most recently, these needs have also started to expand to health care.

    Low Vision Treatment Setting High Standards of Care for Low Vision www.neoretina.com Thousands of Indians suer from low vision. Are you one among them? Low Vision is a condition of visual impairment that cannot be corrected through glasses, medicines or surgical treatments. The condition is often characterized by partial sight, blurred vision, tunnel vision or blind spots. Low vision impacts both adults and children but mostly occurs among adults above 60 years of age. Losing the ability to perform basic activities: drive, read, watch or view, etc. can make one feel shut o from living a normal life. What causes low vision? Generally, the low vision condition is caused by eye diseases or health conditions such as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Cataract, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Stargardt's Disease (juvenile Macular Degeneration) and Glaucoma. Eye injuries, congenital disabilities and brain damages are some other causes. The chances to restore eyesight due to low vision are unlikely, but it can be managed with proper devices and vision rehabilitation. How do you know if you have low vision? A person with low vision condition has poor eyesight, where he is unable to perform routine duties, despite regular glasses, medicine, and surgery. Commonly individuals with low vision can have diculty in: Reading and writing Using a Computer/Tablet or watching Reading trac signals, Television name boards, etc. Spotting switches, dials or other Recognizing familiar faces mechanical controls Neoretina: Comprehensive & Technologically Enhanced Centre for Low Vision Treatment Neoretina Eyecare Institute, Hyderabad oers world-class treatment in the management of the low vision and other eye conditions.

Alexander the Great is supposed to have made a dive in a primitive diving bell, Roger Bacon described men walking on the seabed in 1240, and in 1535 Guglielmo de Lorena developed the first true diving bell (3).

  • The Use of the Bow No

    The Use of the Bow No

    Sermon #1694 Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit 1 THE USE OF THE BOW NO. 1694 DELIVERED AT THE THURSDAY EVENING LECTURE, BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. “And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher).” 2 Samuel 1:17, 18. THE translators have acted very properly in inserting the words, “the use of,” for that is what the passage means. But if you read it without those words, the sense is still the same— “He bade them teach the chil- dren of Judah the bow,” that is to say, how to use the bow. In modern times, critics have said that by the expression, “the bow,” is meant the song which David composed. And to sustain their notion, they quote from the Koran of Mahomet in which they tell us that there is a certain chapter called, “the Bow,” and, therefore, David called his song, “the bow,” as if so late an instance of oriental usage was at all to the point. I declare that there is nothing whatever in Scripture to justify the state- ment that the words, “the bow,” can be applied to David’s lament! No doubt, some of the Psalms have titles given to them, but there is never an instance of a Psalm being quoted by its title. It is quoted by its number, never by its name. I accept the passage as our learned transla- tors understood it—David bade them teach the children of Judah the bow.
