Volunteering in the Rehabilitation and Health Clinic in Hveragerdi. This friendly little community sits on top of a highly active geothermal field which provides heat for hundreds of greenhouses where fruits, flowers and vegetables are produced throughout the year. Even bananas grow in these greenhouses! The name Hveragerði means "hot springs garden". Geothermal energy is Hveragerði’s lifeblood, and you probably won’t find such a natural wonder in the middle of a populated area anywhere else in the world. Nearby you will find an even more geothermally active site: Gufudalur, the lovely "Steam Valley" behind the town. This whole valley is full of hot springs, geysers, mud pots, fumaroles and steaming vents.
Main activities include but are not limited to: Agriculture (cultivating soil, planting, raising and harvesting crops), Horticulture (growing fruits, vegetables and plants), Renovation around the property. During winter, the work might include snowplowing.
The nature of the work depends largely on weather conditions, which can change quickly. Working hours are usually from 8 am to 3 pm with a coffee break in the morning and a one-hour lunch break.We will give special focus on global warming and workshops about climate change will take place in the late afternoon. Humanity must act in a more environmentally friendly way. The main goal of this project is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the project participants. Within the project, we will learn about green energy, sustainable householding, waste treatment, nutrition, the effects of consumption and lots more. If we want to change something, develop solutions or inspire others, we must understand the issues and tasks first. Take part in this promising project and spring into action against climate change!

We learn and improve skills when we practice them. Practice can be done by physically repeating the task or by imagining task performance using a process called motor imagery (MI). Some of the evidence supporting motor imagery as a method for learning and practicing skills is that practice using motor imagery leads to the improved performance of a skill compared to no practice at all.
However, we are not sure how learning and practicing using motor imagery works and if the type of motor skill matters. It could be that certain motor skills are more effectively learned using motor imagery than other motor skills are. Luckily, brain activity can be measured and there is evidence to support that higher levels of measured brain activity suggest more motor learning is occurring and lower levels of measured brain activity mean less motor learning is occurring. The purpose of the current study is to examine if brain activity differs between different types of motor tasks when performing motor imagery. The information gathered in this study will further our understanding of how we learn motor skills and will help us design better training programs for sports, work skills, and rehabilitation.

Hi. I know this is a long shot but I really could use some financial help. I am a 30 year old single female, and I always work two jobs, and still feel like I never get ahead, paying bills, and student loans is what is killing me the most.
If anyone out there has any money they can spare, even a little bit will go a long way. I don't feel comfortable meeting up with anyone in person, not right away for sure, but I would be open to chatting and wherever that leads...I am pretty easy going, open minded, and friendly...easy to talk to, good vibes...could really use some help getting through some tough times...
Thank you.

We are conducting an online research study to better understand how physical distancing is impacting people’s mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. While isolated from others, many people are using smartphones to keep in touch and engage with others. With the use of a special app, we can begin to understand how people are saying socially connected through calling, messaging, and app usage. Understanding healthy social behaviour during the pandemic can help minimize the negative consequences of physical distancing. We are looking for people to join our study!
Who can Participate? We are looking for people aged 15 years and up to participate in the study. You do not need to be diagnosed with a mental disorder to participate in the study. Everyone is welcome!
Will you be reimbursed for your time? Participants will receive $40 for filling out the questionnaires and working with our app for one month. We will ask participants to fill out questionnaires again after three months. So, if you complete the study you will receive $60.

We are looking for people born between 1946-1965 to take part in a study of leisure, work, and life transitions. While many baby boomers have begun to retire, others are unable to retire or are choosing not to retire for a variety of reasons. If this sounds like you, we want to learn from you. As a participant in this study, you will be asked to participate in an online blog with others in your generation by sharing your experiences and perceptions of leisure, work, and your decision not to retire. Your participation would involve 4 sessions per year for three years, each of which is approximately two weeks. You will be asked to log on to the blog about 5 times in each session. You can create new posts and/or comment on the posts of others. If you volunteer to participate, you will be contacted by a researcher to help you set up an account and get comfortable navigating the blog. In appreciation for your time, you will receive a $50.00 gift card annually. For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study, please contact: Rebecca Genoe Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at 306-585-4781 or Email: rebecca.genoe@uregina.ca. This study has been reviewed and received approval through the Research Ethics Board, University of Regina.

Study Title: How do you feel about Covid-19?
Eligibility Requirements: Seeking individuals who are 17 years or older who can read and write well in English to partake in a two-part study. This study examines the psychological and behavioral responses to Covid-19 and examining the potential benefits of expressive writing on processing and coping with challenges posed by Covid-19.
Study description: The objective of this two-phase study is to examine the relationship between personality characteristics and life circumstances on coping responses to the 2019 Coronavirus (Covid-19). For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask questions about participants’ current life circumstances (e.g., employment status and type, how they are currently affected by Covid-19), their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression), how they cope with negative life events or challenges, and how they feel about the future. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily online expressive writing activities for fourteen consecutives days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing three follow-up online questionnaires (2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program). Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.
Duration: The first phase of the study will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. For the second phase of the study, each writing entry will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete with the exception of the first session, which will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Each follow-up survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete.
Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges caused by Covid-19.
Compensation: The opportunity to win one of four 50$ money orders. Each writing session completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw.
Contact: If participants have any questions about our research, they are encouraged to contact the research assistant (Kheana Barbeau, kbarb006@uottawa.ca).

Hi Thanks for checking out this ad.
I'm looking for someone to help me build and manage a campsite. I can cover bed and board initially and then pay a wage once it is up and running.
I have been working in my spare time for the last 2 years and throughly enjoy it. but I have other things that I have to prioritize my time on so I'm looking for someone to help me. It it really isn't far off being open as I can see the site needing more of my time when it is open than I can afford to give.
So I'm looking for someone who would enjoy working in the woods with me and also alone. Is creative, independent and able to think for them selves but also follow a plan. Attention to detail is a must and ideally a do anything attitude.
This position is to help build and manage the site. So management skills would be beneficial and being good with your hands too.
I can help train, coach and teach you. To be honest anyone who wants to help I am happy to teach.
The site is 25 - 30 minutes outside of the Halifax, on the way to Peggies Cove.
