Toronto Public Library is conducting a program allowing users to access light therapy lamps at two branches, Malvern and Brentwood.

Light therapy lamps are designed to imitate spring and summer light levels as a way to treat the "winter blues"or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression with symptoms that include fatigue, anxiety, weight gain and sleep disorders.

The places to use it.

The branches participating in the program are Malvern and Brentwood. These lamps are placed in the branch for use in the library. Each location has two lamps, available on a first-come, first-served basis. The lamps cannot be taken out of the library.

The reason to provide it through the library.

Research by the Canadian Mental Health Association suggests that 2-3% of the general population of Ontario have SAD and another 15% have a less severe experience.

Light therapy lamps can be expensive for most people to purchase. This service provides all Torontonians with the opportunity to use light therapy if they need it.

The use of a light therapy lamp.

Turn the lamp on and sit, read or work in front of it for 20-30 minutes. For sensitive users, gradual exposure is recommended. Sit about 2 feet away. Face the lamp and allow the light to shine on your face but not directly in your eyes. Do not stare directly into the light. Adjust the angle of the lamp to suit your position.

The effect of the light therapy.

Light therapy is considered to be safe. Side effects are rare and if they occur, they are usually mild and can include nausea, headaches and/or eye strain. There are no known long-term side effects of light therapy. If you experience discomfort, stop using the lamp and contact your doctor.

The light therapy lamp should not be viewed as a cure, and other measures including staying fit, sleeping well and eating healthy are also very beneficial for treating the symptoms of mood disorders. Use of the lamp is at your own judgement. Toronto Public Library is not responsible for any health issues related to the use of the lamp.

36. Who might be recommended to use the light therapy lamps?

Many people traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the 50th Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. the 2017 show had many examples of"smart home"devices."Smart home"technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes.

One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell. You may get informed even when you are halfway around the world that someone come and you can unlock the door for them very easily.

Another use of smart home technology is being able to watch what is taking place in your home wherever you are. Devices can even let homeowners look in on dogs, cats or other pets when they are away.

For heating or cooling, there is a smart thermostat. This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks or flooding."We're trying to catch it with just a few drops before it becomes a real big problem,"said Mike Sale of iDevices.

While most of the devices can be controlled from anywhere, they also work in the same way when you are at home. Some devices, like Amazon's Echo and Google Home, even let you use voice commands to talk to them.

A concernfor many homeowners is the possibility that someone else, might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking."So they've spent time working on the Patriot Missile and others, and we spend an awful lot of time ensuring that our products are both safe and safe from attack."

Many of these devices at the Consumer Electronics Show were available before, but now they communicate better and can learn to repeat behavior and habits. All of thein can be bought separately,many for less than $100. With such devices, our future homes will become homes thinking for themselves.
