Monkey Helper
Various definitions exist for a service animal. The Americans with Disabilities Act defines the term as "dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities". Dogs are the most common service animals, having assisted people since at least 1927. Regulations regarding service animals vary by region. For example, in Japan, regulations outline standards of training and certification for service animals. In the United States, service animals are generally allowed in areas of public accommodation, even where pets are generally forbidden. Other laws like the US Fair Housing Act and the US Air Carrier Access Act recognize the role of an animal in assisting a disabled owner. Various laws and policies may define "service animal" more expansively, but often do not recognize or specially accommodate emotional support animals. Definitions The international assistance animal community has categorized three types of assistance animals: # Guide animals, w ...

The range of capuchin monkeys includes some tropical forests in Central America and South America as far south as northern Argentina. In Central America, where they are called white-faced monkeys ("carablanca"), they usually occupy the wet lowland forests on the Geography of Costa Rica, Caribbean coast of Costa Rica Geography of Panama, and Panama and deciduous dry forest on the Pacific coast. Etymology The word "capuchin" derives from a group of friars named the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, an offshoot from the Franciscans, who wear brown robes with large hoods.

Seizure Response Dog
A seizure response dog (SRD) (also known as seizure dog) is a dog demonstrating specific assisting behaviour during or immediately after a person's epileptic seizure or other seizure. When reliably trained such dogs can serve as service dogs for people with epilepsy. Tasks for seizure dogs may include, but are not limited to: * Find someone to help * Activate an emergency response system * Stimulate a person to help them "wake up" after a seizure * Use body weight to keep the person in a specific position * Act as a brace to help the person up * Retrieve a phone or medication * Physically remove the patient from an unsafe situation (i.e. middle of a street) A dog demonstrating specific behaviour ''prior'' to a person's epileptic seizure is also referred to as ''seizure alert dog'' (SAD). Reports suggest that some dogs can be trained to anticipate epileptic seizures. However, this ability has been questioned. Seizure response and seizure alerting behaviour may spontaneously deve ...

South Korean Won
The Korean Republic won, unofficially the South Korean won ( Symbol: ₩; Code: KRW; Korean: 대한민국 원) is the official currency of South Korea. A single won is divided into 100 jeon, the monetary subunit. The jeon is no longer used for everyday transactions, and it appears only in foreign exchange rates. The currency is issued by the Bank of Korea, based in the capital city of Seoul. Etymology The old "won" was a cognate of the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen, which were both derived from the Spanish-American silver dollar. It is derived from the hanja (, ''won''), meaning "round", which describes the shape of the silver dollar. The won was subdivided into 100 ''jeon'' (), itself a cognate of the Chinese unit of weight mace and synonymous with money in general. The current won (1962 to present) is written in hangul only and does not officially have any hanja associated with it. First South Korean won History The Korean won, Chinese yuan and Japanese yen were ...

Brasília Metro
The Federal District Metro (Portuguese: ''Metrô do Distrito Federal'', commonly called ''Metrô DF'') is the rapid transit system of the Federal District, in Brazil. It is operated by ''Companhia do Metropolitano do Distrito Federal'' and was opened in 2001. Currently, Federal District's Metro has 24 stations on two lines, and it runs for . The metro covers the Federal District's main cities at west. Its main problem is the sheer distance between many stations (caused by overall low density, suburban profile for such system), making it only a small part of the transit system of the Federal District and mostly an intercity service, with exceptions in Brasília and Ceilândia. The administrative region of Águas Claras is well-served by the system, making it one of the fastest-growing areas of the Federal District and the most dense. All this is possible thanks to the Signaling and Traffic Control and Automatic Protection System for Trains, which allow the regularity of the inte ...
