DCN Lab - Adele Diamond Home Page. Brief Biosketch. Adele Diamond is the Canada Research Chair Professor of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She is a member of the Royal Society of Canada and was recently recognized as one the 1. Diamond is at the forefront of research on . Executive functions include 'thinking outside the box' (cognitive flexibility), mentally relating ideas and facts (working memory), and giving considered responses rather than impulsive ones, resisting temptations and staying focused (inhibitory control, including selective attention). She has made discoveries that have improved treatment for two different medical disorders and discoveries that have impacted education, improving the lives of millions of children. Her work has shown that executive functions can be improved even in the very young. Adele Diamond was educated at Swarthmore (B. A., Phi Beta Kappa), Harvard (Ph. D.), and Yale Medical School (postdoc). Amsterdam Neuropsychological Tasks ProgramsThe Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is an IQ test designed to measure intelligence and cognitive ability in adults and older adolescents. The original WAIS (Form I) was published in February 1955 by David Wechsler, as. The following is a complete list of tests reviewed in the Mental Measurements Yearbook series, from the 9th MMY (1985) through the present. Click here for ordering information. Also, individual test reviews may be obtained. Her many awards include an honorary doctorate (Honoris Causa) from Ben- Gurion University, the Bronfenbrenner Award for Lifetime Contributions to Developmental Psychology in the Service of Science and Society, named a . EFs include being able to 'think outside the box' and see things from other perspectives (cognitive flexibility), mentally relating different ideas and facts to one another (working memory), and giving a considered response rather than an impulsive one, resisting temptations, and staying focused (inhibitory control, including selective attention). These abilities are crucial for problem- solving, creativity, and reasoning, and for success in all life's aspects. One goal of the lab is to examine fundamental questions about how PFC and EFs are influenced by biological factors (such as genes and neurochemistry) and by environmental factors (including detrimental influences such as poverty or stress and facilitative ones such as interventions). For example, the lab examines ways in which unusual properties of the PFC dopamine system contribute to the exceptional sensitivity and vulnerability of PFC and EFs to environmental and genetic variations that have little effect elsewhere in the brain, and how at least some of these effects are different in men and women. One unusual aspect of the DA system in PFC is a relative dearth of DA transporter proteins, the best way for clearing away released DA. This has many interesting and practical consequences. One of those relates to attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We predict, and are testing, that physicians prescribing the correct dose of psychostimulants for controlling hyperactivity in patients with ADHD are prescribing too high a dose for patients. Physicians decide on the optimal psychostimulant dose for a child with ADHD by asking the child. The parent bases his/her answer on the child. No one tests the child. We offer a markedly different perspective from mainstream education in hypothesizing that focusing exclusively on training cognitive skills is less efficient, and ultimately less successful, than also addressing youths. Our hypothesis is that besides training the skill(s) of interest, it. Researchers and educators tend to focus on one aspect of a person in isolation. For example, efforts to study or to improve cognitive skills (such as EFs) or academic performance are generally done ignoring whether participants are happy or sad, lonely or healthy. Yet sadness, stress, loneliness, or poor health causes one. Conversely, EFs are better when one feels emotionally and socially nourished and healthy. Social and/or emotional aspects of, or adjuncts to, a program to improve cognitive skills might be key to whether and/or how much that program succeeds. We hope our research might fundamentally change the approach and underlying assumptions (i. We expect to show that focusing exclusively on training cognition might not be the best way to improve cognition; emotional and social factors might be key to whether cognition improves. Traditional activities that have been part of all cultures throughout time (e. EFs (requiring focus, concentration, and working memory), make us happy and proud, provide a sense of belonging, and help our bodies develop. Recently we have turned our attention to the possible roles of music, dance, storytelling, traditional martial arts, positive sports, yoga, mindfulness, and even circus for improving executive functions, academic outcomes and mental and physical health. In the 1. 98. 0s,Adele Diamond. As a graduate student, Diamond realized that for 5. Developmental psychologists called it . Diamond & Goldman- Rakic, 1. Diamond & Goldman- Rakic, 1. This established the first strong link between early cognitive development and the functions of a specific brain region. That gave encouragement to others that rigorous experimental work addressing brain- behavior relations was possible in infants. It also fundamentally altered the scientific understanding of PFC early in development; clearly it was not silent as accepted wisdom had held. Even though PFC is very immature early in life and takes a very long time to develop, it can already subserve elementary versions of the highest cognitive functions during the first year of life. Diamond went on to facilitate many of the earliest collaborations between developmental and cognitive scientists, on the one hand, and neuroscientists on the other. In the 1. 99. 0s, Diamond. Diamond identified the biological mechanism causing EF deficits in children treated for PKU. No one had ever done anything like that. Again, the answer lay in integrating two fields. Researchers and clinicians working on inborn errors of metabolism had noticed that children . Neuropharmacologists studying the mesocortical dopamine system in rats had shown that if there is only a modest reduction in the dopamine precursor, tyrosine, PFC is selectively affected. Since Phe and tyrosine compete to enter the brain, a modest elevation in the Phe to tyrosine ratio in blood would result in a modest reduction in the amount of tyrosine reaching the brain . They were thereby able to demonstrate the mechanism causing the deficits that had so confounded those working in inborn errors of metabolism, and to demonstrate that the deficits could be prevented by stricter dietary restrictons. Midway through, Diamond learned that the dopamine system in the retina shares the same unusual properties as those that cause PFC to be sensitive to reductions in available tyrosine too small to affect other brain regions. To be consistent, she had to predict that retinal function would also be adversely impacted in children treated for PKU, so she ventured into vision science to investigate that together with pediatric optometrist, Dr. Sure enough, her team identified the first visual deficit reported in children treated for PKU .

Why on earth were they not impaired on these 3 tasks? But again she was unwilling to let the inconsistency remain uninvestigated. Those investigations uncovered that while self- ordered pointing depends on PFC, it is not sensitive to the level of DA in PFC and hence is not affected in children with PKU. Those investigations also led to a line of research, adding techniques in molecular genetics to her arsenal, leading to: 3. In the 2. 00. 0s, Diamond. The best way to clear released DA is with the dopamine transporter protein. PFC is unusual in that it has very little dopamine transporter. Unlike other brain regions, PFC has to rely on the catechol- o- methyltransferase (COMT) enzyme to clear DA. For persons of European origin, they are as likely to have a version of the COMT gene that codes for a fast- acting COMT enzyme, leaving less DA in PFC (i. Their results challenged accepted notions that since DA is important for some PFC- dependent cognitive functions, it is important for all (since as predicted, COMT genotype was unrelated to self- ordered pointing performance). The differential sensitivity of distinct cognitive abilities to specific neurotransmitters opens up possibilities for targeted pharmacological interventions. Diamond. Estrogen down- regulates COMT gene transcription; the COMT enzyme is 3. COMT enzyme clears DA more slowly, leaving more DA around longer in PFC). Diamond and her team hypothesized that women may have higher baseline levels of DA in PFC (a more optimum level) and males. That would be consistent with disorders of too little DA in PFC (e. ADHD) being more common in males and disorders of too much DA in PFC (e.

Drywall Textures: Popcorn Texture. Popcorn texture or acoustic drywall texture is applied on ceiling and can be the best way to hide finished drywall defects. Popcorn texture is mixed with water to expand small chips of polystyrene, allowing the drywall to look like cheese or popcorn. Popcorn textures have Styrofoam as well as other materials added to the drywall mud mixture to create the puffy appearance. A large nozzle is used on the spray gun to spray popcorn texture because of the . It was one of the most used forms of finishing during the 1. Popcorn texture is really hard to remove, so if you plan to apply it and remove it later, think it twice. How to Remove Popcorn Texture. Do you need to patch a drywall hole and have a popcorn ceiling? This tutorial will show you how to do it. It's a simple DIY project. How to Spot Repair a Popcorn Ceiling. The textured finish of popcorn ceilings can be difficult to match after making a repair. Small discolorations or surface scrapes can be covered easily. Larger ceiling damage areas require. ![]() Enjoy the Homax Products 5 oz. Popcorn Ceiling Patch 5225, tube contains acoustic ceiling texture with polystyrene chips at The Home Depot.
People are usually more interested in removing this type of drywall texture from their ceilings than they are in new application. Acoustic popcorn textures sprayed before 1. Materials containing asbestos must be removed only by a trained and licensed professional. Begin by scraping the popcorn texture, to remove the painted layer. After the paint has been removed, apply water to the texture to soften it. Popcorn texture in its natural state will absorb water and will be easier to remove the texture. Scrapping popcorn texture will generate dust, so be sure to cover or remove all furniture from the room. If the room has carpet flooring, cover it with a plastic barrier and craft paper over it. There are specific products on the market to be placed directly over the carpet and will serve as plastic barrier. Once all the texture has been removed, a new finishing surface could be applied. Be careful when removing popcorn texture and try not to scrap the drywall surface, where the popcorn was applied. If the surface has been altered be sure to patch it before applying other drywall finish. If removing the popcorn surface creates you additional problems, I might suggest to install a new layer of drywall over the existing texture, but be sure to use screws long enough to penetrate existing surfaces and penetrate in the rafters or joists. How to Apply Popcorn Texture. Spraying popcorn texture requires the use of a special texture sprayer. The texture covers the entire surface with a thick layer therefore it will cover many imperfections in the drywall finishing. Cans of spray texture have written on them the recommended coverage rates however you may want to estimate more material as these cans usually do not cover quite as much as expected. Fill and patch any imperfections in the surface using spackle and then apply a coat or primer with a roller. The primer should be allowed to dry for at least four hours. Prepare the surface and the room where the surface will be applied by covering wall, floors and furniture with plastic sheets or drop cloths. Wear appropriate PPE before applying popcorn texture. Mix the product that is going to be applied. Mix inside a big pail using a paint mixer attachment to achieve a nice blend. The mixture is ready when it's the consistency of thick porridge. Fill the equipment going to be used and start the compressor. Practice by applying on an old piece of drywall to see how it might look like. Spray the mix onto the ceiling and keep moving the nozzle to avoid oversaturating the area where the mix is being applied. Use multiple light coats and allow the texture time to dry between coats. If you spray the texture on too thickly, it will drip off the ceiling. Once the texture is applied it may be painted using an airless paint sprayer. Popcorn Texture Alternatives. If you decide not to use Popcorn drywall texture, be sure to look at Santa Fe texture or skip trowel texture. These two textures might be the ones, accepted as substitute textures and are widely used among construction professionals. However, there are several other textures that you should consider and analyze before selecting popcorn texture. Making Windows XP Start Faster. Speed Tips and Tricks for Windows XP Startup.

Master Your DSLR Camera, Part 1: Program Mode. Editor: When photographer and reader Scott D. Feldstein offered to write a tutorial on how to put your digital SLR camera to good use this holiday season, we couldn't pass it up. Our new Canon's dial never budged from Auto mode. The good news: Your photos have improved! You know they could be even better. It's as if you've been creeping around the neighborhood in a new Mustang using only first gear. ![]() AEB settings by camera model - EV Spacing and number of auto-bracketed frames, as well as burst rate and maximum EV range with AEB.It's time to take control, hit the highway, and learn what you can do in program mode. In auto mode your camera makes just about all the decisions for you. Sure, you frame the subject and push the shutter release button, but you never have to think about things like exposure or whether you need to use a flash; the camera handles all of that for you. Most of the time it does a pretty good job, even if the results are a little less than artistic.
Switching to program mode, however, allows your camera to make some decisions for you, but also puts three things in your control: the flash, the ISO value, and the white balance. Let's start! Put the camera in program mode by turning the mode dial to . The flash will never pop up and fire automatically, no matter how dark the scene is. Instead, you'll have to pop it up yourself if you want to use it. So when should you use it? Volumes could be written about that subject, but the main thing I want you to understand is this: Learning how your camera works lets you avoid using the flash in borderline light situations, but also lets you use it to enhance some well- lit scenarios. Here's what I mean. Sometimes the best situations to use a flash are ones in which it will never fire automatically, such as this outdoor portrait of my gorgeous fiance. The light from the flash eliminated shadows from her face while adding a pleasing catchlight to her eyes. To try this technique yourself, pop up the flash manually by pressing the flash button located on the left side of the flash/viewfinder hump as shown. Conversely, one of the worst situations to use a flash, aesthetically speaking, is one in which it's virtually guaranteed to fire automatically: taking pictures of people in indoor light. Play with the camera controls found in the 'Creative Zone' of an EOS. Try your new skills out at home with a Canon EOS DSLR. See the images you snapped, review the settings you used and get some tips for. The harsh and unflattering light from the flash may cause your subject to look like someone who has just risen from the dead, while their surroundings may become too dark to make out at all. To avoid the flash in program mode, don't do anything. It will fire only when you invoke it manually by pressing its button, so just don't press it. But how do you take a picture in low- light situations if you don't use the flash? If you do nothing to compensate for the lack of flash, your photos may be dark and/or blurry. What can you do to avoid this? Plenty. ISOShutter speed and aperture size are the two key factors that effect how much light gets inside the camera, but we won't be talking about them today. In program mode the camera is still choosing these settings for you. But no matter who is choosing the settings, sometimes shutter and aperture adjustments alone are not enough to pull off a flash- less shot in indoor light. By raising the ISO value, however, you can actually make your camera more sensitive to light, thus requiring less of it to make the correct exposure. It stands for International Standards Organization. Go figure.)Press and hold the ISO button (1) while simultaneously rotating the command dial (2). You should see the ISO value changing in the LCD status screen (3). For your indoor flash- less shot, try raising it to at least ISO 8. You can go to 1. 60. You may find ? Sometimes you don't want the look of the flash, sometimes it's intrusive, still other times it can't be used anyway. In these cases you have to ask yourself: Is dealing with some noise better than not getting the shot? Using a flash in this birthday party shot would have killed the moment. Instead I went to ISO 8. White Balance. So you've taken control of the flash and dealt with a low- light situation by increasing the ISO setting. There is one other cool thing that program mode allows you to fiddle with: white balance. You may never have thought much about it, but in addition to the fact that there is usually more light outside than inside, the color of the light also differs. Daylight tends to be bluer, whereas tungsten bulbs tend to be yellower. This is usually no problem, as your camera is pretty adept at compensating for these differences automatically. If, however, you notice your photos taking on a weird color cast, the camera isn't doing a good job and it's time to take matters into your own hands. Press and hold the white balance button (1) while simultaneously rotating the command dial (2) as shown. You will see various icons in the LCD status screen (3) such as a light bulb, the sun, a cloud, and a fluorescent bulb. I bet you can guess what kind of light each of these settings is for. Try the one that best describes your circumstances. Many people especially like using the cloudy setting outdoors. This one is a little harder to set, but it can really be worth it. You may want to consult your camera's manual for the exact method, but the general idea is that you choose the manual setting using the white balance selection process described above, then take a picture of something completely white. Many pros carry around white cards for just this purpose, but I find that any piece of white paper folded up and jammed into your camera bag works just fine. Whatever you choose, completely fill the frame with white so that no other color enters the picture at the edges. After setting the white balance with that shot, you can proceed to shoot as many pictures as you like in that environment and be sure that the colors will be accurate. Conclusion. Congratulations! As Obi- wan famously said, you've taken your first step into a larger world. If it ever seems overwhelming, remember this: Auto mode is always there to fall back on. Besides, switching into program mode doesn't mean you have to do all of the things discussed here. If you simply want to adjust the ISO for changing light conditions, that's fine. You may not need to touch the flash or shift out of automatic white balance. Speaking of white balance, don't forget to set it back to automatic when you're done messing around. There's nothing worse than happening upon a great subject and snapping away for five minutes, only to discover later that all your shots are a lovely shade of deep blue because your white balance was set for a completely different environment. You should also remember to lower the ISO value when you leave a low- light situation. Automatic white balance and a low ISO value are usually good settings to walk around with. After a while this will become second nature. Next time we delve into more camera modes, as well as aperture size and shutter speed. Until then, happy shooting! Scott D. Feldstein lives in Wisconsin with his two children and works in e- learning at Marquette University. He is also a part- time photographer, part- time teacher and full- time nerd. Chapter 5: Depression Era Further Defines Movement (1. The depression changed the way Americans viewed social welfare. Always before, assistance to the needy fell under the scope of charity and the government was not in the business of running charities. The depression, which impacted Americans of all races and socioeconomic standing, created a different understanding of welfare. Once viewed as a handout for those who were unable to help themselves, millions of Americans recognized that unbridled capitalism could result in severe economic downturns that left very capable people unable to provide for themselves or their families. The New Deal ushered in sweeping changes that reflected the public’s demand for government to assume many of the functions previously left to charitable organizations. This change, one of the most revolutionary in American history, allowed charities .

State departments of public welfare still were in their infancy, and federal assistance was not forthcoming in the early years of the depression. Thus, most association member agencies, even if they had not provided financial relief previously, tapped their own limited funds to assist destitute clients. Agencies were struggling just to keep their doors open. In fact, between 1. Trattner, The Free Press, New York, 1.

In addition, the federal government must institute reforms to prevent the causes of this crisis. Leaders from the association, member agencies and social workers testified before the U. S. Congress, and the association advised on local and state welfare programs. In 1. 93. 1, at the request of the president’s Organization on Unemployment Relief, the association created the Department of Special Studies and issued monthly bulletins on unemployment relief methods and other emergent issues. When Franklin D. Roosevelt became president in 1. New Deal social welfare programs to combat unemployment and poverty. With the exception of the short- lived Freedmen’s Bureau created to aid former slaves, this was the first time the federal government had accepted responsibility for the social welfare of its citizens. The New Deal programs created, for the first time, a public safety net for those grappling with extreme poverty, unemployment, old age, and physical disabilities. By 1. 93. 3, the federal government had created the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Civil Works Administration, and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). FERA provided federal funds for relief and established public assistance offices in each state. It also required local relief administrators to employ at least one trained social worker, heightening visibility and appreciation of professional social work in towns nationwide—and straining demand for personnel already in short supply. The landmark Social Security Act was enacted in 1. It included contributory social insurance and public assistance for specific groups such as dependent children of single mothers, the aged, blind, and disabled workers. Federal funds were provided for state and local public health services. Although it was widely criticized for not going far enough—particularly for not including health insurance—the Social Security Act and its 1. Fundamental Change in Social Service Role. With the creation of a public safety net for welfare relief, the role of voluntary agencies was fundamentally altered. Both the public and private sectors grappled with shifting boundaries and new roles.“The collapse of voluntary institutions during the Great Depression and the rise of the federal welfare programs under the New Deal are rightly seen as watersheds in the relationship between charity and welfare . Welfare was to be delivered by public institutions, which allowed charities to offer and promote specialized therapeutic services.” (The Limits of Voluntarism: Charity and Welfare from the New Deal Through the Great Society, Andrew J. F. Morris, Cambridge University Press, New York, 2. Linton Swift, who succeeded Francis Mc. Lean as general secretary of the newly renamed Family Welfare Association of America (FWAA) in 1. His 1. 93. 4 treatise, “New Alignments Between Public and Private Agencies in a Community Family Welfare and Relief Program,” redefined the role of voluntary family service agencies. He acknowledged—even welcomed—the public sector’s assumption of responsibility for the financial safety net. The voluntary sector, Swift wrote, would push on to . The FWAA held regional round tables and other meetings in the following years to enable representatives of both public and private agencies to exchange ideas and think strategically about the goals they should be setting.“Rather than seeing the expansion of welfare as zero sum, where voluntary agencies were the losers, many charities viewed increasing public responsibility, particularly for maintaining a financial safety net, as a relief . This, in turn, led them to become defenders of the welfare programs that helped make it possible for them to offer these new services.” (The Limits of Voluntarism: Charity and Welfare from the New Deal Through the Great Society, Andrew J. F. Morris, Cambridge University Press, New York, 2. With the explosion of new relief programs and the infusion of funds, there was an immense demand for social services. Requests for field service and training from the FWAA increased tremendously as local agencies rose to the challenge of unemployment and relief needs. Both the FWAA and local agencies loaned professional staff to help develop public relief programs. ![]() Many agencies lost their top executives to public programs. The shortage of professional staff was acute in both public and private organizations. Even experienced workers were new to the specialized demands of relief administration. The FWAA was especially concerned about maintaining and improving service standards amidst the rapid transformation of relief programs from voluntary social organizations to public agencies. Monsky continued, “It is important that we insure and preserve the maintenance of standards and continued scientific treatment of the programs. The progress of social work must not be retarded. There must be no set back from the standards attained in the past decade.”Improvement and maintenance of such standards, the association believed, was achieved through comparison and evaluation, exchanging ideas with sister agencies, and constant experimentation. The FWAA’s field service, research, and publications arms and personnel service mobilized to strengthen member agencies. The FWAA’s five regular field workers were augmented by an emergency field program and additional field workers, funded through a 1. Carnegie Corporation. Through consultation within the National Social Work Council, the program was closely coordinated with that of the American Public Welfare Association and other national agencies. Field work varied from a day to several weeks, with field staff offering guidance on problems of organization, relief administration, cooperative relationships with local and state organizations, staff development, and other issues. Staff at the FWAA headquarters focused on collecting and reporting practices and trends, answering inquiries from the field, and general distribution of research, case records, and publications, including The Family, which would aid local agencies in their relief work. Association publications also were distributed to about 3. The FWAA staff assisted member agencies in conducting surveys and studies to enhance services. In 1. 93. 1, for example, a worker from the FWAA national office was lent to a member agency to survey unemployment relief needs and resources. The survey was then presented to the governor for use in legislative action and welfare programming. FWAA obtained a grant to cover the work so it cost the local agency nothing. FWAA also focused on professional development and training. Institutes and regional meetings were increased, bringing together agency staff to focus on casework skills such as intake, investigation, treatment, and supervision. Agency executives gathered in inter- city conferences to discuss broader relief topics. The association worked closely with schools of social work to develop casework, supervision, and leadership curricula. As the central membership organization of more than 2. FWAA had long served as a clearinghouse for field training, vocational guidance, and placement. The FWAA partnered with the Joint Vocational Service of New York to make these services available to all member agencies. FWAA and local agencies alike offered field training to social work students. A specific field service was developed to aid members in public relief development. The FWAA also worked in partnership with other local and national groups that shared an interest in family life. These partnerships included the American Association of Social Workers, the National Social Work Council, the National Junior League, the National Conference of Social Work, and the National Committee on the Care of the Homeless and Transients. New Opportunities for Service. The FWAA surveyed its membership in 1. It learned that members agreed that the provision of food, clothing, and shelter for those in distress had passed from the realm of private philanthropy into that of public obligation. They believed that private funds were “insufficient to scratch the surface” of relief needs. |
