What's more relaxing than a healthy dose of pilates ... and puppies?A pilates studio in central New York is now offering 'Puppy Pilates', a class where for , you can do pilates while playing with puppies.While exercising with furry friends should be enough for most animal lovers, this unique pilates class comes with a good cause. All of the proceeds will be going to Clear Path for Veterans' Canine Program. The program trains dogs to become service animals for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Terri Todd, the owner of Precision Pilates in Fayetteville, and a mother of three, said the response has been "fantastic." The studio will hold two sessions on October 27.Her own son, Ryan Woodruff, is a US Marine Corps veteran and the Canine Program director at Clear Path for Veterans. He said the overall cost to raise and properly train a puppy to become a service dog is at least ,000."You will never find a soldier that can afford that kind of investment," Todd told CNN. Clear Path for Veterans covers all costs to train the dogs, however, they rely on donations to keep the program running.Woodruff, an infantry rifleman who was deployed to Iraq twice before being honorably discharged in 2009, said his program's focus is training service dogs. These dogs are trained to aid veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries or military sexual trauma."We have done scientific research showing that our training model significantly reduces symptoms associated with PTSD, decreases stress, increases self-compassion, and improves their overall quality of life," Woodruff said.The Canine Program is currently training eight dogs and will receive five more in February. Once the dogs become certified service animals, they are matched with veterans who adopt them when they're around 18 months old.Veterans also have the option to train their own dogs for 6 to 12 months with the Canine Program. However, not every one of those dogs become service dogs.Woodruff says he was inspired to work with service dogs for veterans because of his own dog, Harley."She changed my life and helped me discover my passion for dog training," Woodruff said. "She lost her life in a terrible accident and I continue to do the work I do in honor of her and what she taught me." 2293

Tyson Hellmich recently became the new owner of a "smart house" in a "smart community."“The technology, obviously, was a huge part of our decision. Every house gets one-gig internet, and that’s nothing we’ve ever experienced before,” Hellmich said.From high-speed internet to automated coffee makers, smart homes are popping up throughout the country. And just how smart the home can be depends on how much you want to spend.“The smart home features are highly dependent on your own investment,” Hellmich said.There’s also technology outside of the home that’s part of the community. Irrigation sensors can detect when grass needs to be watered, and streetlights are used to alert the community of a significant weather event or safety hazard.“They have a little LED light on top of each one of them that can change colors,” Hellmich said.The definition of a smart community depends who you ask.“A smart community is really an innovative community looking for new technologies and partnerships with folks like Arrow to solve problems in a different way,” Colorado Smart Cities Alliance Executive Director Tyler Svitak said.Using the latest technologies, Svitak says these communities can tackle problems that arise with transportation, air quality, water conservation and energy efficiency. For example, in the case of a water main break, people used to not know the main had burst until their street was flooded.“Now we can predict that before it happens by putting sensors underground, and monitoring that leakage over time to prevent that water main break from happening in the first place,” Svitak said.There aren’t a lot of metrics on the number of smart communities already in place across the nation.According to Svitak, the term was coined in 2010 and really started to explode in 2016, when the federal government gave cities million to spend on smart technology.“It’d be hard pressed to find a major city or a mid-sized city not working on smart solutions,” Svitak said.The most critical part of a smart community is connectivity.Walker Hinshaw is the COO of Lumiere, the technology provider for a smart community in Colorado called Sterling Ranch. He says "fiber" is the technology being used to connect everything in these new communities, making internet speeds faster than ever.“Fiber’s really that passive component in the system, so as the electronics get better and better, we’re going to be able to have faster and faster speeds out here,” Hinshaw said.As technology improves, smart city enthusiasts believe life can get better, too.“Developers are realizing that there’s a huge return on investment for residents to better monitor their water or their energy, or improve the safety of their community by making sure the police can respond more quickly to an incident," Svitak said. "Maybe there’s even a camera that’s able to detect a traffic accident before anyone can pick up the phone and dial 911.” Hellmich believes it’s the future of housing and he’s looking forward to witnessing how it changes day-to-day life.“As technology progresses, it’s inevitable for it to make its way more and more into our homes,” Hellmich said.  3172
