It's also consistent with the launch of the previous year's model which have been debuting around the same time.

Below we have summarized some of the reviews about the features of the car exterior and interior 2018 Volvo S60. The car is expected to be a comfortable car for the ride by the community.
With most automotive companies incorporating groundbreaking modifications and designs to their new models, it seems that the S60 model is going to be the main weapon from the Volvo family in 2018.
Volvo has made huge strides over the years with the S60 as the new innovative Inscription models have given it a breath of fresh air. With rumors on the 2018 Volvo S60 specs and features already coming in it seems like Volvo has no intentions with stopping anytime soon. This is great news for consumers as with a redesigned interior, more legroom in the back seat, and a sportier ride is on the way.
Volvo enthusiasts have already witnessed some breakthroughs and revamp in the S90 model and in the new 2018 Volvo S60 model- new rear window sunshades, an upgraded rear parking system, and Thor's hammer LED insignia will be noticed in its headlight clusters.

One of my new favorites books is also a new release this year. We Don't Eat Our Classmates is about a dinosaur named Penelope Rex who is nervous about her first day of school. When she finally arrives one first day, she realizes her classmates are CHILDREN and she eats them because children are delicious. After being ordered to spit them back out, she has a few more hiccups before she finally learns her lesson and makes friends.
There are so many great lessons to pull from this book. The values of grit and resilience are evident throughout. Penelope has a hard time controlling her impulses, as most children do (especially those with special needs) and she makes the same mistake more than once, but she keeps trying. Eventually, she is able to form friendships. You can create lesson plans around finding similarities and differences, cause and effect, main story and sequencing, etc. etc.
We went with a simple dinosaur craft, had the kids name their dinosaurs and present to their peers. This year we are really working on encouraging independence (the older grades used the schedule as a checklist) and developing narrative skills.
This book is definitely a new favorite on our bookshelf. The pictures are engaging and the story is exciting for a read aloud. The JAR schedule has been posted in English and Spanish. Unfortunately, this book doesn't have a Spanish companion, but we found lots of Dinosaur books in Spanish that could be used for a read aloud. Books like:
¿Cómo son buenos amigos los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs Stay Friends?) (Spanish Edition)
¿Cómo dicen estoy enojado los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs Say I'm Mad?): (Spanish language edition of How Do Dinosaurs Say I'M MAD!) (Spanish Edition)
¿Cómo aprenden los colores los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?): (Spanish language edition of How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?) (Spanish Edition)
¿Cómo eligen sus mascotas los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs Choose Their Pets?) (Spanish Edition)
Como comen los dinosaurios? (How Do Dinosaurs…) (Spanish Edition)
The kids enjoyed the story almost as much as they enjoyed making their own dinosaurs. The level of prompting needed for this craft will vary depending on the class and functioning level of students. My 4th and 5th grade 12:1:1 class was able to independently make their dinosaurs with minimal prompting. My first grade 12:1:1 needed to be guided through each step but we assigned a student per number and collected data by using each student interaction as a trial (asking and answering questions.)
Hope you enjoy this activity. Please comment down below if this post inspires any lesson plans.

Mark Duffy believes his time with the Blades has seen him play the best football of his career.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's home encounter against Millwall, the experienced midfielder feels he's developed and improved with age.
He remarked: "Undoubtedly I'm playing the best football of my career, I've played at this level previously, but usually with teams struggling at the wrong end of the table.
"But here, it's been nothing but success and progression really, right back to when I joined in League One, long my it continue.
"I used to be an out and out winger, who liked to get crosses into a box.
"Now I roam across the pitch and pick up balls in different areas and I'm enjoying my football now more than ever before."
Duffy added: "You always want to play but each game is different. Sometimes you don't play because of tactical reasons, sometimes you might not be playing well.
"But whatever the decision is you must accept it and not sulk about it, it's not about individuals, it's about the whole squad, the whole club really.
"Because if we get promoted it benefits everyone involved, so it's not about any one individual."

Where to Travel in India?
Sep 24, 2006
Someday soon, I'm going to travel to India. I have many friends that live in India or that are originally from India and I've always wanted to see parts of the country.
That said, my international travel experience is paltry at best. So I turn to my trusty internet skills to start investigating the potential destinations and where I might stay when I get there.
Inasra, which is the combination of two words Indian + Asra, which loosely translates to Indian Shelter, offers hotel and lodging information on hotels in cities all over India.
The City of Alleppey located in Kerala offers six very interesting looking hotels. The River Side Retreat is a family guest house operated by the owner's family, which looks great in the picture above.
Or if you want European luxury in a Kashmir setting there is the Hotel Broadway in Srinagar.
Or maybe if you are looking to try an interesting setting in Goa but you are looking for an American branded hotel (for some reason ;) There is The Holiday Inn Resort Goa. Quick jibe about The Holiday Inn aside, this is a five star resort located on Mobor beach.
They all look fascinating to me, however, I've always held the desire to travel to the Kahsmir so for a vacation that will probably win the day. For business, I'll probably end up in Bangalore first!

Spectacularly perched on the rock escarpment overlooking the Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach, the design is expressed as a composition of two pavilions with dynamic zinc roofs floating over a crisp, white, monolithic base. The pavilions are connected through an ephemeral gallery hall sharply lit throughout the day through a series of seamless skylights.
The two pavilions respond to the natural topography of the site, stepping down from the street concluding with stepped timber platforms and a cantilevering garden hovering over the Fairy Bower Pool and Marine Parade. All rooms have breathtaking views and access to sunlight and ventilation.

El-Rufai's son Bashir versus Bukola Saraki's aide Onoja Ilemona is the latest fight in town.
A Twitter fight between the Kaduna state governor's son and an aide of the Senate President occurred, which was triggered when Ilemoma alleged he had a video showing Governor El-Rufai allocating plots of land to his family members when he served as Minister of the FCT during ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo's regime.
Bashir immediately responded to the above tweet, daring him to share the video if he was truly the son of his father!
Then it started! The ending was shocking!
…and then this came out:
Which politician, please? We will leave this question for you to comment below and answer.

Greeley woman: Dogs mistreated; Owner, officials: They're just fine
June 1, 2004
A rural Greeley woman who was arrested last weekend by sheriff's deputies said she was trying to rescue dogs because of mistreatment.
But the owners of the 13 pit bulls that were taken said the dogs have been treated well.
And such is the saga of the pit bulls of Nunn, in what has become a morass of accusations and counter-accusations.
Cindy Meeker, who lives northeast of Greeley on Weld County Road 64, said she believes the 13 dogs were being trained for fighting and had been mistreated. So last Thursday, she and four friends went
to the farm northwest of Nunn and took custody of the dogs.
However, Weld County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Margie Martinez said the animal control officers had checked

the dogs in the weeks before and found no evidence of fighting or mistreatment. "None of the dogs had scars or were underfed," Martinez said. "They just didn't look like fighting dogs."
Meeker operates as an all-breed dog rescuer and felt she didn't need the owner's permission to take the dogs to what she believes was a safer place — her own kennel.
But dog owners Tom and Rita Stalnaker of Pierce and Weld sheriff's deputies disagreed. Meeker was arrested for investigation of felony theft.
Stalnakers said they raise the pit bulls for sale, getting as much as $1,500 for a purebred puppy. Tom Stalnaker also said he entered one of the dogs in a pulling competition a couple of weeks ago.
In addition, the owner of the farm where the Stalnakers kept the dogs, Judy Hobart, said she had nothing to do with the dogs or the alleged rescue. Meeker said she had Hobart's permission to take the dogs, since the Stalnakers were behind in rent payments. But Hobart denied that Tuesday, saying she was never concerned about the dogs or the rent, because she knew the dogs were fed and watered regularly. She also said she knew the Stalnakers were going to pay the rent as soon as they got an expected check.
The battle is certain to end up in court, because Meeker plans to use the rescue of the dogs and what she claims as evidence of dog fighting to defend her theft charges.
In addition, both Meeker and the Stalnakers claim the other stole from them. "They came here to my house with the sheriff's deputy and told him they were taking the dogs and some of their equipment back," Meeker said, "but they took a lot of my stuff, too."
At the opposite end, the Stalnakers said their trailer northwest of Nunn was broken into by Meeker and her four friends, and some of their belongings were stolen.
Meanwhile, the dogs have been returned to the Stalnakers. They are keeping several of them at their home in Pierce. Others are being cared for by friends.

Optimism Following Oral Arguments in NLRB Recess Appointments Case
Posted @ Wednesday, January 15, 2014 3:05 PM by Donna Puglisi
Files in
ABC News,Legislation,Politics & Policy,GA - NLRB
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Jan. 13 in the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recess appointments case (Noel Canning). The oral arguments centered on a lower court ruling that held President Obama's early 2012 recess appointments of three members to the NLRB were unconstitutional. More background information on the Noel Canning case and ABC National's involvement can be found on the
ABC website
An attorney who represents both ABC National and the ABC-led Coalition for a Democratic Workforce, Josh Ulman, attended Monday's oral argument and observed that the tone and nature of the questioning suggests that the Supreme Court Justices have serious doubts about the federal government's position. "While it is hard to predict case outcomes based on oral arguments, after today I am even more optimistic that the Court will rule to uphold the lower court's decision in Noel Canning," said Josh Ulman. Read the questions posed by the Supreme Court Justices
If the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the Noel Canning decision, the ruling could invalidate all decisions issued under the terms of the unlawful recess appointees.

A discount tire company is having a sale on snow tires. If the price of an individual snow tire was $45.00, what is the new price if you only have to pay 60%?

The new price would be $27.00
We can rewrite this problem as what is 60% of $45.00?
"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 60% can be written as

One thing I've mentioned before is how much responsibility falls upon my wife and I to make sure our little daughter gets the best care and makes the best progress she can. In the end her wellbeing is up to us, not any of the tremendous doctors or educators who assist us. And at our house almost all of that responsibility falls on my wife.
She graciously gave up her career in favor of caring for our child and has dedicated herself to that purpose ever since. I help as much as I can, but I'm off at work a lot of the time. Meanwhile she's making sure our little one makes it to all of the doctor's appointments, therapist appointments and school classes. She gives her the exercises and playtime she needs each day to get stronger. She's responsible for her medications and putting in her hearing aids. I could go on and on.
Suffice it to say that the credit goes to my wife for all of the progress our little daughter has made. Sometimes she gets down because she doesn't think she's doing enough or that our daughter's progressing well enough. The truth is, our little one is making great strides because of the dedication, organization and plain old hard work of her mother.
Being the care giver for such a needy little person is really tough, but my dear wife does it well. I try to help any chance I get, but in the end I'm forced to just stand back in awe at the love and care she gives our daughter. I have every reason to be grateful.

Portrait Understanding Anal Cancer: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis And Treatment throughout Anal Cancer Stages
The Anus
The anus is the opening of the body at the lower end of the bowel. Anal canal is the tube that connects the bottom of the large intestine( rectum) and anus to the outside organization. As food is accepted, surpass from the gut into the small intestine. Then passage from the small intestine into the large intestine( colon ). The massive bowel absorbs irrigate and liquid from accepted nutrient. The persisting waste material through the entrails after known as feces or stool. Feces are stored under the rectum, the final 6 inches of the digestive system. From there, the latter are out of the body through the anus as a bowel movement.
Anal Cancer
Anal canal is about an inch and a half long. The inside blanket( "ve called the" mucosa) consists of several types of cadres. Learn a little about these cadres helps in understanding the different kinds of cancer that develops in many areas of the anal canal. Glands and pipes( tubes heading from the glands) are found under the mucosa. These glands start mucus, which acts as a lubricant.
Anal canal moves from the rectum to the anal edge( where the canal encounters the outer skin on the anus ). About midway down the anal canal is the dentate course, which is where the majority of members of the anal glands vacate into the anus.
Cells in the anus( the rectum) and part of the canal near the anus rectum determined like a small editorial. Most cadres near the centre of the anal canal and all over the dentate row shaped like a cube and are announced transitional cells. This area is called the transition zone. Below the dentate direction are flat( squamous) cells. At the anal rim, squamous cells lower anal canal blends with the skin outside the anus. This scalps all over the anal verge( announced perianal skin or anal margin) is likewise composed of squamous cadres, but also contains sweat glands and hair follicles; lining of the anus is not lower. Anal canal cancer( above the anal boundary) and cancers of the anal perimeter( below the anal boundary) are plowed very differently.
Anal canal is surrounded by a sphincter, which is a circular muscle that induces grime from going out relaxing during defecation.
Anal Tumors
Many types of tumors can develop in the anus. Not all tumors are cancerous- a benign( non-cancerous ). There are also some expansion originating as harmless but more occasion can develop into cancer. This is called a pre-cancerous case. This section discusses all types of abnormal growth.
Benign tumors( non-cancerous) anal
Polyps: Polyps are small, rutted, or mushroom-like expansions that develop on the mucosa or really under it. There are several types, depending on the cause and location.
Inflammatory polyps develop due to swelling from hurt or infection.
Lymphoid polyps are caused by an overgrowth of the lymph material( which is part of the immune structure ). Small nodules of lymph material in the bottom coating are typically present in the anus.
Hypertrophied anal papillae are harmless emergences of connective tissue covered by squamous cadres. They are just ordinary papillary enlargement, which is a small bend of mucous found in the dentate word. Hypertrophied anal papilla too announced fibroepithelial polyps.
Skin labels: Skin tags are harmless expansions of connective material covered by squamous cadres. Skin calls are often mistaken for hemorrhoids, but they are not rightfully hemorrhoids.
Condylomas: Condylomas( likewise announced warts) are the expansion occurring outside the anus and lower rectum below the dentate front. Sometimes condylomas can be found merely above the dentate text. They are caused by infection with human papilloma virus( HPV ).
Other benign tumors: In rare cases, harmless tumors can originate in other tissues of the anus. It includes:
Adnexal tumors- usually harmless raise which started in the whisker follicles or sweat glands in the outer scalp of the anus. This tumor stays in the perianal scalp and does not grow into the anus.
Leiomyomas- evolving from smooth muscle cells
Granular cadre tumors- develop from nerve cadres and are composed of the representatives of cells that contain countless minuscule recognises( particles)
Hemangiomas- start in the cells stringing the blood vessels
Lipoma- ranging from fatty cells
Schwannomas- develops from the cadres that extend nerve
Potentially pre-cancerous anal conditions
Some changes in the rectal mucosa are harmless in their early stages, but may subsequently develop into cancer. A common period for this condition is potentially pre-cancerous dysplasia. Some warts, for example, contains an area of dysplasia can progress to cancer.
Dysplasia occurs in the anus is also known as anal intraepithelial neoplasia( AIN) and the anal squamous intraepithelial lesions( SIL ). Depending on how the cells examine under a microscope, AIN( or anal SIL) can be is split into 2 groups: low-grade and high-grade. Cells resemble low-grade AIN under normal cadres while the cadre in high-grade AIN inspects something much normal. Low-grade AIN often disappear without management. It has a low fortune of turning into cancer. High-grade AIN are less likely to leave without care. Considered, high-grade AIN could eventually become cancerous, so it needs to be watched closely. Some cases of top-grade AIN need to be treated.
Carcinoma in situ
Sometimes abnormal cells on the surface seam of the anus looks like cancer cadres but have still not been grown into one of the deeper mantles. This condition is known as carcinoma in situ,( pronounced" in SY-too "), or CIS. Another figure for this condition is Bowen's disease. Some doctors see this as a very early word of anal cancer and others consider it the most advanced the different types of AIN, which is considered a pre-cancer but not a true-life cancer.
Invasive anal cancers
Squamous cell carcinomas: Most anal cancers in the United States are squamous cell carcinomas. These tumors originate from the squamous cells that string the anal boundary and most of the anal canal.
A cell of invasive squamous cell carcinomas has spread beyond the surface to the deeper coatings of the coating. Squamous cadre carcinomas of the anal margin( perianal scalp) dealt with at squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp elsewhere in the body.
Cloacogenic carcinomas( likewise announced basaloid or transitional cell carcinomas) is sometimes listed as a subclass of squamous cadre cancer. They develop in transition periods zone, too called the cloaca. These cancers seem somewhat different under a microscope, but they behave and are analyse like other squamous cell carcinomas of the anal canal.
Adenocarcinomas: A small number of rectal cancer known as adenocarcinomas. It can develop in cells that row the upper part of the rectum near the anus, or a gland situated below the anal mucosa that exhaust their secretions into the anal canal. This anal adenocarcinomas, treated in the same way as rectal carcinomas.
Adenocarcinomas can also start in apocrine glands( a type of sweat glands in the perianal scalp ). Paget's disease is a type of apocrine gland carcinomas that spread through the surface blanket of the scalp. Paget's disease can affect the bark anywhere in the body, but most commonly affects the bark of the perianal sphere, vulva, or heart. This health should not be confused with Paget's disease of bone, which is a different disease.
Basal cell carcinomas: Basal cell carcinomas is a type of surface cancer that can develop in the perianal skin. These tumors are much more common in the field of bark exposed to sunlight, such as the aspect and mitts, and account for only a small number of rectal cancer. They are often dealt with at surgery to remove the cancer.
Malignant melanoma: This cancer develops from cadres in the scalp or anal lining that do the brown tint announced melanin. Simply about 1% to 2% of anal cancers melanomas. Melanoma is much more common on sunlight uncovered parts of the body. If melanoma is found at an early stage( before they have grown deep into the bark or spread to the lymph nodes) they can be removed by surgery and the mentality( prognosis) for long-term survival is good. But because they are hard to see, most anal melanomas are found at a later stage. If possible, the entire tumor is removed by surgery. If all of the tumor can be removed, salving is probable. If the melanoma has spread too far to be removed altogether, other therapies may be given.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors: It is a rare anal cancer is more commonly found in the stomach or small intestine. When this was discovered in the early stages, they are removed by surgery. If they have spread outside the anus, they can be treated with dope regiman.

Texture packs for Minecraft PE could not be divided into any kind of groups and the reason for this issue is extremely simple – they are all unique. In addition, their main advantage is ability to change game world slightly. The simplest example is Pony Madness, which turns familiar villagers, buildings and blocks into fairy creatures, that live in the everlasting spring and happiness. Moreover, other texture pack can turn your world into scary swamp; other one can only change the icon of sun. Their possibilities are almost endless. However, we took a shot to create some kind of hierarchy, depending on the value and popularity. Let us begin!
On the lowest level, there are Minecraft PE texture packs that were created for the low-end devices. They have low screen resolution, look extremely blocky and does not look good on tablets or laptops on android (yeah, this kind of geeky combination do exist). However, looking good is not their purpose. Their main goal is to give players who are not able to buy new smartphone an opportunity to experience the game and enjoy it. As you may know, according to statistics, android devices users are not fond of updates, so the creators of this kind of texture packs do the great thing – they help people to enjoy favorite game no matter what.

Wednesday is gradually becoming a black letter day for residents and visitors to Barga Vecchia who would like to have a coffee at some point during the day. In the height of the summer season, it is not really a problem finding a place to sit down and eat or enjoy a drink but during the winter months it can get slightly more difficult.
November now seem to be the worst month of the year for services as many places shut for a well earned rest after the long summer season.
The bar outside the main gates run by Paolo Gas, which is famous being, more or less always open and the last to close, is shut for their annual holidays.
Inside the walls, the Altana is shut on a Wednesday, so too inexplicably just further down the road, is the Gelateria, so no coffee there either.
Piazza Angelio, which has been a hive of activity right through the summer from Easter onwards, is now almost deserted as Riccardo from L'Osteria has shut up shop and gone off to holiday in sunnier climes* He will be back the first week in December.
In Piazza Salvo Salvi the situation is no better with Capretz shut as Beppe and Laura take a well earned rest apparently on a cruise ship around the Mediterranean sea and the unofficial cultural centre of Barga – Aristo's is shut on a Wednesday.
Further in to Barga Vecchia we find the Verdeluna, the restaurant specialising in food from Puglia, Sicily but not today as they too are shut till December.
All in all, Wednesday in November is a disaster.
Once upon a time all the bars had staggered days off so that a situation like this could be avoided …. so what happened ?
Maybe things will get easier for the coffee drinkers as the winter progresses and we move into the new year … hmm, maybe not, anybody remember last year ?
*sunnier climes ? he was last seen in a bar in Cardiff in Wales before leaving to tour England by car all the way up to Scotland … anybody any idea what the weather is like in Wales this week ?

The automation industry is growing rapidly and is incorporating new technologies every day. More industrialists are using automation systems in their industries to get better output with greater efficiency.
With the introduction of automation components such as actuators, sensors, etc. new methods and technologies have been incorporated in the industries to adopt advancement.
Pneumatic valves have also evolved since the invention of the motorized compressor more than 2 centuries ago (1799).
Pneumatic valve is one of the most important automation components for any industrial system and new methods need to be incorporated to adopt their advancements.
Below we have mentioned two important aspects to adopt advancements in pneumatic valve industry:
1. ISO Standard
Standardization of automation components and other tools help to maintain consistent quality. This, in turn, increases customer satisfaction and make the products safe, reliable and of high-grade quality.
International standards also help industries to reduce the cost of manufacturing by synthesizing better mode of operation, smarter use of technology, minimization of waste and reduction of errors.
Using international standards, ISO, OEMs can decrease downtime issues and hence, can get better efficiency.
2. Fieldbus
Fieldbus is an industrial computer-network protocol used for real-time distributed control. The distributed control system is crucial for complex systems like an assembly line.
The distributed control system requires a multi-level hierarchy to operate and control. In this hierarchy, there is generally an HMI, Human Machine Interface where a user/admin can monitor or operate the process.
Then comes the middle layer, PLC which is connected to HMI via non-time critical communication system like ethernet. PLC is further connected to the third layer which is Fieldbus.
Fieldbus helps to connect multiple automation components like actuators, sensors, pneumatic valves, etc.
Before Fieldbus technology, only a few components could be attached to PLC and it resulted in using long tubes and a lot of cables.
With the introduction of Fieldbus, the number of cables required reduced which helped in faster communication between components and sharply reduced the cost.
But Why Do You Need To Adopt These Advancements?
Technologies and machines for industrial automation are evolving rapidly. One great example of this is industrial systems. Instead of tedious labor work, industrialists can now use robotic equipment and machines to automate their production cycle. Automation has seen widespread rather very quickly in the last couple of decades. The direct result of this can be seen in the precise and accurate designs and build quality of the end product.
These evolved and better technologies need advancements so users can properly use these machines. Because using simple cables and tubes even with these advanced technologies is not going to yield better results.
The reason being, the power consumption will increase, cost of production will go up, etc. with poor technologies advanced machines can not be handled properly and this is the reason why you need to adopt advancements.
Evolution in machines and technologies is a necessity which can not be ignored and that is why new methods have to be adopted for these advancements.
In the above paragraphs, we explained two most important methods you need to adopt for advancements in pneumatic valve industry. If you feel like they can help you then do incorporate these methods for better efficiency.

This is the final article on a series about health disparities. Take a look through our blog to see related articles by NARIC staff.
There are a variety of projects funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) that deal with health disparities, people with disabilities, and minorities. We would like to introduce you to a few of those projects. Our NIDRR Program Database includes more than 1,500 current and completed projects. We conducted several searches through the online database to find the latest research from NIDRR. These three current projects focus on "health disparities":
- Health Care Disparities in Access and Utilization among Individuals with Disabilities, University of Maryland at Baltimore County (H133G090133).
- The UMHS/AACIL Rehabilitation Research Training Program, University of Michigan (H133P090008).
- Health and Health Care Disparities Among Individuals with Disabilities, University System of New Hampshire (H133A100031).
These four projects conduct research on issues facing minorities with disabilities.
- Advanced Training in Translational and Transformational Research to Improve Outcomes for People with Disabilities, The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois (H133P110004).
- The New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center, Boston University Medical Center (H133N060024 see also H133N110019).
- Disability Among Racial and Ethnic Minorities, University of California – San Francisco (H133F40010). This project has completed its research activities.
- Improving Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening for Women with Intellectual Disabilities, University of North Carolina (H133G090124).
We also recommend visiting the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Secondary Conditions in the Rehabilitation of Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury to learn more about their work with people with spinal cord injuries in the Latino and African American communities in the Washington, D.C. region.

Waterproof Clothing
Waterproof or water-repelling clothing for adults tends to be expensive. They are not always cheap for children, but they can be an essential commodity in a rainy county or on a property that has a lot of open areas. Some parents just do not want permanently pressed clothes to get ruined by rain. Whatever the case, childrens waterproof clothing can be found online for much less than retail in stores.
More information on childrens waterproof clothing
The first solution is a simple polyester poncho or rain jacket for kids. With a hood, it completely covers the upper body and part of the lower body. Since the lower legs are the most bearable part of the body to get wet, a rain jacket can suffice for small stints in the rainy outdoors. A poncho is a more expansive solution that has space to accommodate a backpack. It is frequently used on hikes.
A thin jacket is an adequate protection in cool or summer weather, but rain in winter is tough to deal with. Water is unpleasant enough to deal with through clothes, and winter rain will freeze children and adults alike. A better rain jacket has insulation between two waterproof layers. These jackets can cost around $100 for even a child, but they can be well worth the price tag.
Thicker clothes, in general, tend to be more durable, and this is equally true for children's winter jackets. The disadvantage is that kids outgrow them if they are small, but it can be well worth protecting a child in a region with particularly nasty weather. A waterproof winter jacket is also appropriate for keeping out snow, so it could be an adaptable winter solution.
For protecting the lower body, trousers and rain pants are also available for youth. Fishermen will be familiar with rubber or plastic trousers, and similar gear is available for kids as small as toddlers. A simple and inexpensive solution is to cover the lower body with over pants that are expansive enough to hold jeans or sweatpants.
Full bodysuits are available for both children and adults, although they are much more convenient for kids. Adults can easily unzip these full-body suits and remove them while the chore is more difficult for adults to do alone. If the weather is bad, then a single piece suit could be the solution for wet and cold weather.
An impermeable barrier can be surprisingly warm because it holds in sweat and so the body cannot cool through perspiration. This is quite uncomfortable if compelled to work outside even in cool and wet weather. Fabric that is able to repel water from the outside but allows perspiration to breathe outwards is a bit more expensive but is excellent for extended periods of activity outdoors.
A variety of solutions are available, and parents should consider the activities of the child as well as the costs of the equipment. A spacious plastic jacket mixes well with a cotton t-shirt and a long sleeve shirt because of the increased insulation and moisture retention. More difficult environments require better solutions.

SCOTT D'AMORE AND Don Callis know that if Impact Wrestling were a house on sale in the real estate market, it would be, to say the least, a "fixer-upper."
Sixteen years after being co-founded by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett, the former Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has been rebooted more times than an old laptop. Along the way, the TNA initials were dragged through the mud like few other promotions in wrestling history.
Early last year, Canadian media company Anthem Sports and Entertainment became the latest gambler willing to bet that it could right the TNA ship. After a few of its own missteps, Anthem decided to put the newly branded Impact Wrestling in the hands of two fellow Canadians with extensive wrestling resumés that included past stints in TNA.
In D'Amore, Impact found a former wrestler, manager, agent, trainer, and promoter who was a key part of TNA during its most successful period about 10 years ago.
Similarly, Callis wore many hats during his wrestling career, which included stints in ECW, WWE, and TNA as a manager and announcer. After being away from the sport for more than a dozen years, he was lured back last year as the voice of New Japan Pro Wrestling's American television series.
Anthem is counting on Impact's co-executive vice presidents to be the dream team that transforms a badly damaged brand into a vibrant, relevant, and competitive wrestling force. But this house needs a lot of work, and in this interview with PWI Senior Writer Al Castle, Callis and D'Amore go over their blueprint for the ultimate wrestling company remodel.
Castle: I guess I'll start with Don. One of the reasons I was particularly interested in talking to you is that you've been involved with two organizations that have been in the news a lot as of late—Impact Wrestling and New Japan. Are there any lessons that you've learned from your affiliation with New Japan that you're looking to apply at Impact?
Callis: I think everyone could learn something from New Japan. If you look at what New Japan does, it's a fairly simple formula. You happen to have, on top, some of the best wrestlers in the world. And you put them in matches. And they have great matches. It's not exactly rocket science. But they run a very tight ship. And I think what there is to learn is, if you look at the progression of storylines, everything tends to make sense. I think they do a great job of making you forget about a guy who, maybe, you really want to see. And then when they slide that guy back into the title picture, I think it creates a lot of excitement. There's so much bad creative and bad booking out there that sometimes, if you just make things logical and not insult people's intelligence, you can solve half the problems. I also think, if you look at what New Japan does, it's very similar in one respect to what I learned from Paul Heyman in ECW: You put talent in the best situation for them to succeed. You don't put talent in a situation where they're not able to deliver, or it's out of character. That sounds like simple stuff, but in the '90s, Paul was the only one doing it. And New Japan has done a good job of it. And that speaks to maximizing talent and getting the most out of them for the company and for themselves.
Castle: As I understand it, you were largely out of wrestling and were lured back to work for New Japan. And if you're going to work in wrestling, I imagine that's something of an easy decision to make because it's a super hot product with a lot of things clicking. Then you get the call about Impact Wrestling, in some ways the total opposite: a brand that's really struggled over a lot of years. Was that a harder decision to make?
Callis: I think it was a harder decision in the sense that coming to take the job in Impact and working with Scott and Ed [Nordholm, Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports and Entertainment] was going to mean changing my life. I had a full-time job. I had a very successful career in international trade. The New Japan job I was able to do using my holiday time. So it wasn't a radical change in my life. This job involves having to leave my job that I had left the wrestling business for 13 years ago, that I had earned an MBA for, and to relocate my family to Toronto. So this was a much harder decision in terms of it being a very uprooting kind of a move. But as far as them struggling, frankly, that appeals to me. I like the fact that Scott and I are in a position creatively where we can start to rebuild this thing. Anyone can come in and take over a red-hot company and just keep the lights on. I've seen what's gone on here in the past, and that we inherited that legacy—both good and bad—as a challenge and an opportunity.
Castle: Do you see it as an advantage that you had been out of the business for so long? Some people would look at that and say, "What can a guy who hasn't followed the business bring to the table?"
Callis: I'm not locked into any talent. I hadn't been around TNA since I retired from there in 2004. So I don't have any preconceived notions. I'm not bringing any particular booking style or loyalties to what I'm doing. I'm looking at it with completely fresh eyes. And I think that is an advantage both for me and for the company, optically, to be able to say, "We're bringing a guy in who hasn't been part of this." There are people who would suggest that there had been a lot of failed, false starts. So the fact that Scott had been gone from Impact, and I had really been gone, I think really helps us in terms of people looking from the outside and saying, "Okay. This is not just talk. This really is going to be different."
Castle: Scott, the one thing I think is really interesting about the contrast between the two of you is that, in Don, you've got a guy who, working in New Japan, brings the perspective of "what it could be," versus you, who can bring the perspective of "what it once was." How much do you think Impact could learn not only from what other companies are doing, but from what it did itself during better times?
D'Amore: There was a time when we were a product that was pretty highly praised and well thought of. We were doing things with a different approach and trying to showcase some things that weren't being done in other places. Then there came a time, I think, in this company's history when we started straying away from what we should have been and started trying to become what some people thought we should be in order to compete with WWE. I think the lesson to be learned is that we need to be our own entity. We need to be different. We need to be the best us that we can be, and that we can't take the same approach that others have taken. In 2018, we need to worry not about what's going on outside of our house, we need to worry about what's going on inside of our house and just making sure that we're putting out the best product we can. That means not worrying about others, other than, as you've seen, going out there and opening the borders and having more of an attitude of inclusion of other products and promotions. That's obviously not something that has been done a lot in the wrestling business.
Castle: What's kept that from happening so long? You can understand why WWE, as the juggernaut that they are, wouldn't be interested in working with other promotions. But I think people have wondered for years, if not decades, "Why aren't some of these smaller groups working together?"
D'Amore: I think a lot of it is an antiquated style of thinking. I think a lot of it is just sheer ego. Everyone wants to think that they're better than everybody else and that they don't need somebody else. But in today's environment there is, more so than ever, an opportunity for talented performers to go out and have a life outside of WWE that involves a creative freedom and a lifestyle that they could never enjoy there or, in the past, anywhere else—and also be able to earn a good living. The talent is more empowered and they are going to choose who they want to work with. They don't want to be beholden to just one master. So the idea of having groups that work collaboratively certainly is appealing to the talent.
Castle: I know it's not "TNA" anymore, but those letters, for so many fans, represent a lot of bad things. Is the reality that there is a lot of baggage there and a lot of damage that needs to be undone?
D'Amore: It was shocking to me to find out the amount of ill will that had developed with TNA. I mean, it was with other promotions, it was with talent, and it was with fans. And I think, on all sides, people felt that TNA had misled them, lied to them, and not delivered on their promises. So, certainly, if there's a situation where we could have started a new company and had the distribution and financing in place to do something that was maybe completely un-TNA related, there could be an argument made that it would be an easier path to hoe. But, the reality is that, despite everything else, as a company Impact Wrestling still has good viewership around the world and still has a revenue stream that's unmatched with the exception of a couple companies out there. It's going to be slow and it's going to take time, but if Impact Wrestling goes out there every week and tells a wrestling fan that it's going to deliver on something, and it does, and promises a performer something, and then follows up and delivers that, and has promotional partners that it treats with respect, then I think, over time, that attitude and perception of Impact Wrestling will shift.
Castle: What are some short-term, realistic milestones that you can accomplish in the next year or so?
Callis: I think there are two paths we're looking at. I think there's the incremental path—the small victories. Let's eliminate stupid stuff. Let's eliminate the stuff that was ticking people off. Let's inject some logic. Let's slowly build a talent roster. Where we have legacy talent that we've allowed to move on, let's introduce that new talent—the Brian Cages of the world, Austin Aries, wrestlers that people are excited about. Those are the incremental steps. The big picture is, look, you made the point, but you didn't put it like this: The brand has not been cool. And we all know that if we create a great product with compelling storylines and excellent talent, and we have an open environment, working collaboratively with talent and with other promotions, we all of a sudden are breaking paradigms of the wrestling business. That will then make us cool and give us a buzz. It may not happen that quickly, but by the fall, by the end of the year, we both want real buzz around Impact Wrestling. The way people talk about New Japan Pro Wrestling and get excited about it as a cool promotion, I want people to talk about us like that. And I think we are on that path.
D'Amore: One of the things that me and Don talk about is rebuilding a connection with fans. And part of that is getting back out there in front of wrestling fans. We had two events recently in Ontario, Canada, where both nights were turn-away crowds. We didn't run massive arenas. We ran small, intimate venues. But there were two buildings that were packed as much as they could be packed with wrestling fans who paid their hard-earned money to come support Impact Wrestling. They're investing their money by buying tickets, and there's going to be an emotional investment by having that interaction with the talent. That's something that WWE, because of their size, can never do. We can give them a more personal, interactive feel.
Castle: In the past, Impact has been criticized for relying too heavily on WWE talent. Scott, you've talked about the need to go back to the years when Impact was creating more stars or finding stars from different regional promotions. It looks like you guys are doing a mix of the two right now. You've got some guys who are recognizable from the past—guys like Alberto El Patron and Johnny Impact. But then you've also picked up guys like Brian Cage. Where is the sweet spot there? Is there room for both?
D'Amore: Yes, absolutely. I think the important thing is that we don't look to bring people in and do business with them because they're ex-WWE people. We bring them in because they fit the style and vision and culture that we're looking to develop. So, while we certainly are always going to look for the next AJ Styles or Samoa Joe or Bobby Roode or Eric Young—the list goes on and on of people who got their first real break and opportunity with TNA—there's always going to be a place for a Sting. There's always going to be a place for a guy like Christian, who walked away from WWE making a conscious decision to be part of something different. So if there are people who fit the style and the mindset of what we're looking for, we're going to welcome them and look to do business with them, regardless of their background.
Callis: We'd even open the door for a guy like Chris Jericho if he wanted to come to Impact.
Castle: I don't know that you could pay for a Chris Jericho. That dovetails with the next topic I wanted to discuss. Can you talk about the challenges of working with a much smaller budget than Impact had in 2010—when you were there, Scott—and you had the backing of a big oil conglomerate out of Texas? As I understand it, Anthem is doing its best to support Impact, but I imagine the well doesn't go as deep as it once went. Does it hamstring you at all? Or does it create a positive challenge?
D'Amore: If the approach to things from a financial perspective were the same here as they had been in the past, I don't think I would have been interested in coming on board. Because, despite what you said—pun intended or not—about the depth of the well with Panda, the fact was that this company was not financially successful at many points. Even during its most successful periods, when it came to top-line revenues, its bottom-line revenue was still not good. So, what we have here with Don and myself joining Anthem Sports and Entertainment is people who know how to operate a business as a business. We have people who are focusing on operating within the envelope that exists, while we look to grow and expand that envelope. That, to me, certainly is a challenge, but it's an exciting challenge. Having a blank checkbook, as people have had in the past, and not necessarily here, that doesn't necessarily lead to success. If a company went out of business with Ted Turner's checkbook, then what's to say that any checkbook is going to make it successful? It's not.
Castle: For fans that maybe once upon a time did check out TNA but have dropped off over the years—and there's evidence that there's a lot of those—what would you say to them, if you could speak directly to them, about why they should come back?
D'Amore: I think that if you're a wrestling fan out there and you stopped watching Impact, you made a conscious decision not to support a product. And I think that the company probably did some things to earn that distrust you have. So we're not asking you to give us your trust back. We're asking you for an opportunity to sample what we're doing and see if we can slowly, day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month, earn and build that trust. And we will get it, because we have a great team from the post-production team, production team, front office staff, and a great roster of talent that are all rolling up their sleeves to work very hard knowing that we have to go out every single night to overcome the obstacles that we have because of the history to earn people's trust.
Callis: I'll take a little more radical approach. I don't feel like we have to say anything to those fans. I think that, by the end of the year, we are going to be a product that people are going to be going out of their way to see. It's going to be destination programming. And we're not going to have to ask for it. I just think we're going to get it. And that may sound a bit brash, if I have my executive hat on. But if I and Scott and Ed and the team did not believe we could be the best, then we have no business in this position.

We reported yesterday that a delegation from the United Arab Emirates is currently in Montenegro trying to improve the relations between the two countries. The first step was made today — representatives of both sides, dr Andrija Lompar (Montenegrin minister of traffic) and Sultan Bin Saed Al Mansuri (UAE's minister of economy) signed a very important contract. Both countries actually opened their sky to one another. That means that Montenegrin air companies can fly to UAE as much as they want, and companies from UAE can fly to Montenegro as many times as they want. This is very positive for Montenegro, especially because two probably most prestigious air companies in the world, Etihad and Emirates, are from the United Arab Emirates and they will probably make new routes and fly from UAE to Montenegro. Montenegro benefits from this in two ways: 1. Etihad and Emirates are world's best airlines. As soon as their passengers see Montenegro in the offering, they will want to come. 2. Dubai is a huge air hub with many companies flying there and from there. Having a direct connection from Montenegro to Dubai will be enormously positive for Montenegrin citizens and expats who want to come here or go somewhere.
"The contract is actually based on various liberalizations and security and simply connecting these two countries," said Lompar.

George Clooney has revealed he gave Ben Affleck some advice on taking on the Batman role: "Don't do it".
Clooney played Gotham City's caped crusader in Joel Schumacher's 1997 film Batman & Robin, which also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, and was panned by critics.
The 58-year-old star, whose career recovered from the critical drubbing, told The Hollywood Reporter it changed the way he approached roles.
"Schwarzenegger was paid, I think, 25 million dollars for that, which was like 20 times more than I was paid for it, and, you know, we never even worked together! We worked together one day. But I took all the heat," he said.
"Now, fair deal; I was playing Batman and I wasn't good in it, and it wasn't a good film, but what I learned from that failure was, I had to rethink how I was working. Because now I wasn't just an actor getting a role, I was being held responsible for the film itself."
Fifteen years later , the actor joined forces with Affleck to jointly produce the 2012 historical drama Argo.
It meant when Affleck signed up to play the DC superhero in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Clooney was able to offer him some advice based on his own experience playing the Dark Knight.
"I actually did talk to him about it," Clooney said.
"I said: 'Don't do it'. It was only from my experience, which is, you know…".
He added: "He did great, though."

by Allen Wyatt
(last updated June 30, 2020)
Word allows you to format your documents in many different ways. One of the ways you can format the characters within your document is through the use of font styles. The phrase "font styles" is easy to confuse with "character styles" and "paragraph styles." In Word, these latter two phrases refer to styles you can define to indicate how characters and paragraphs should look. Font styles, on the other hand, are not style definitions at all; they are variations of a font that indicate different ways that font can appear. While you can define a character or paragraph style, you cannot define a font style at all.
You probably already know that you can use different fonts for displaying characters. Each font typically comes with a number of styles in which it can be displayed. For instance, if you format a character as bold, then you have specified the Bold font style.
If you want to see the available font styles for a particular font, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Font dialog box.
You should note that different fonts have different font styles available. The most common font styles are Regular, Italic, Bold, and BoldItalic. This is not the limit, however, and not every font will include these four. Indeed, the styles available for a particular font are entirely up to the font designer.

Do you remember the time you called your friend and got no response? Calls were unanswered, emails ignored, and missed calls were not returned. Maybe they are just busy – you know their schedule. Then you wonder if this "silence" is intentional or unintentional. Maybe they are upset with you regarding something. Maybe its nothing to worry about at all. Everything is fine. Whatever the case, it troubles you considerably.
That Eerie Feeling
There are times when our prayers seem to go nowhere. The lack of response from God troubles our hearts more than anything else. We wonder if God has forgotten us. We consider the possibility that God is angry with us. Surely there must be a reason for this divine silence.
What's the purpose of His silence?
Sometimes, God's silence allows us time to think and to learn. That divine silence allows us to experience – for a brief time – what it is to live without God's guidance. It can be an eerie feeling, like the "calm before the storm." But quickly we realize that God's voice is truly essential.
God also waits in silence for our response, for our obedience. In essence, "the ball is in our court." He has done a tremendous work in our hearts, and now it is up to us to obey. God waits in silence since it is "our move" now. Certainly it is a divine silence of expectation.
Here is the scary part of God's silence
The most dangerous form of God's silence is when he allows us to have our own way. He has spoken to us on numerous occasions, but we have failed to obey. We've had our own agenda, and we wonder why God is disturbing us. So God steps back and allows us to live and experience life without his guidance. Although this may seem like a favorable option for a time, we soon run into danger. We continue in our own way until we realize that what we needed all along was his voice.
God is not angry with us
In his silence, he simply waits for our return. God is not angry with us. Many fail to return to God thinking that he is angry with them because of their lack of obedience. They wonder if God will accept them back. Rather than being angry, he is like a hopeful parent waiting for the children to return home where they belong. No matter how late it is, he is waiting, ready to open the door.
God's silence – for any reason – is his choice. Job experienced that in his own life and he responded: "When he is quiet who can condemn? When he hides his face, who can behold him, whether it be a nation or a man? (Job 34:29)
Our obligation
Although we don't have the option to question God regarding his silence, we have the obligation to return. We return not for his benefit, but for our sustenance and future. That eerie divine silence may mean several things, but certainly we are to learn the lessons of life and quickly return to him.
How have you responded to God's silence?

In 2011, HughSJ and his older brother, along with two other programmers, set out to make their first indie game.
With tactical combat and fully destructible environments, Brigador is a real-time isometric mech game. They even went as far as creating their own engine, so they could build the game exactly how they pleased and give players a wide variety of ways to play.
Five years of development took its toll on the brothers, as evidenced by these photos, and when the game was nearing completion, they realized an entirely new hurdle:
Getting reviews
HughSJ had been demoing the game at conventions for two years, working with a PR firm for one, and sent out hundreds of emails to garner attention.
The result?
Twelve days after Brigador released, the game hadn't even earned enough reviews to warrant a metacritic score — meaning the game had less than 4 reviews.
Five years of development for only a handful of copies sold.
A Year Later
It's been nearly a year since the game's release. The reviews on Steam now number in the hundreds and several major sites have also given it a strong thumbs-up. Is it all thanks to the article on Reddit?
HughSJ's honest account about creating an indie game turned a faceless developer into a relatable human being. In the post, he was dedicated, passionate, and funny – qualities that easily transferred over to his game. It was excellent marketing, whether that was the intention or not.
StellarJockeys have since released the Up-Armored Edition, so it seems their determination hasn't run dry yet. But what about the hundreds of other indie developers to pour years of their lives into creating an innovative game, only to have to fly under the radar and fall flat?
Some says it's a numbers game. Make enough and eventually you'll build up a reputation and get noticed. User Thyrork suggested that a website specifically catered to discovering hidden indie gems is desperately needed.
Whatever the solution, it's a rough world out there for indie developers, where the stress is high and the payoffs are few and far in between.

Tragic events happen over the world all of the time, obviously we can't help with all of them, but we could still help with very large ones. Foreign spending and Foreign aid will almost always likely benefit out country in the end. Good relations and just helping out the others will be very important.
There was a time when humanitarian issues within the confines of a nations borders were only the concern of that nations leaders. With the expansion of media and the almost instant dissemination of information around the world, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the happenings within the borders a national matter.
A person who is being tortured or harmed by their government is a person no matter where they live. It is cruel and inhumane to ignore the plight of a person just because they aren't from our country or exactly like us. Not everything should boil down to politics and "how can this help us?"
Yes, governments must step in to protect human rights and help to resolve humanitarian crises. It takes a powerful movement to stop these types of situations, and the efforts of those affected may not be sufficient to ensure resolution. When human rights or lives are threatened, government must take action, even if they themselves are not directly impacted by the situation.
In humanitarian crises, it is the responsibility of all people to provide what aid they can, regardless of 'interest'. Protecting the basic rights and safety of humans is a responsibility not to be left to a single country or said country's allies - it must be taken on by all. The bystander effect all too often leads to tragic circumstances that could have been prevented or ameliorated.
Too many wars have already been waged under the flag of "humanitarian purposes". NATO has forced it's way into many countries. No one blinks an eye at the the forced labor camps in China and N.Korea. Or the organ harvesting/ genocide of Chinese prisoners. The double standard is just off the scale. Countries need to learn to either form coalitions to help each other in times of need, or learn to help themselves.
Thousands die from mal nutrition and hunger in FIRST world countries, yet these same governments send billions to a trade partner for "aid", rather than help its own citizens. I understand sending building blue prints and "how to's" on building essentials like wells, irrigation, and farming to developing worlds.. But sending them just straight cash without oversight? Alas, tis the world we live in.

ABC Organic Gardener Magazine wins!
ABC Organic Gardener Magazine wins!
One hundred and thirty of this country's best and brightest horticultural media professionals were on hand to celebrate gardening's glamour night at the Horticultural Media Association's bi-annual awards ceremony, held this year at the historic Royal Melbourne Hotel.
The industry-voted awards recognise writers, photographers, educators, publications, researchers, and broadcasters who have demonstrated exceptional creativity in communicating the benefits and joys of gardening to the community.
ABC Organic Gardener magazine was awarded the Magazine Laurel from a field of finalists that included Gardening Australia and Your Garden magazines. Judges cited Organic Gardener's winning attributes to be its "contemporary style and balance", praising Editor Steve Payne for "a valuable publication, with engaging content for 21st century gardeners".
Steve Payne accepted the award on behalf of his team saying, "It was a great honour and a fantastic acknowledgement of the creativity and hard work put in by everyone throughout the whole production process: from the expert writers and photographers to design, pre-press and printing.
"I love that we can put together a magazine with in-depth advice on how to garden organically, but throw into the mix cutting-edge environmental issues and organic lifestyle stories that appeal to a diverse range of readers," he said.
