Fabregas, Eboue injury worries for Gunners
LONDON, April 1 (Reuters) - Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas and full back Emmanuel Eboue are doubtful for next week's Champions League quarter-final, second leg against Juventus in Turin after coming off injured against Aston Villa on Saturday.
'The negative side of the game today is that we got two injuries that we wouldn't want to have at the moment,' Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said after watching his team thrash Villa 5-0 at Highbury in the Premier League.
'First is Eboue with a groin problem. The second is Fabregas with a foot problem. Both are 40-60 for Wednesday night.'
Exciting Spain teenager Fabregas only lasted 16 minutes before being replaced by Abou Diaby, who went on to score his first goal for the club, while Ivory Coast international Eboue was substituted after 67 minutes.
'His (Fabregas's) foot has blown up. That's not a good sign. It can be a vein that has exploded or it's coming from a bone we don't know. Eboue did his groin because he played like (former Brazil great) Garrincha on the right side and didn't stop going forward.'
Arsenal hold a 2-0 lead over Italian champions Juventus as they bid to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time where they would face either Inter Milan or Villarreal.
Wenger also reiterated that he was confident that Thierry Henry, who scored twice in Saturday's win to narrow the gap with fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur to two points, would stay at Arsenal. His contract expires at the end of next season.
Asked if the France striker was irreplaceable, Wenger said: 'In the sense that if you ask me to buy another one I have a problem. He's the best, when you have the best why replace him?
'I'm still 100 percent confident he'll stay. We all want him to stay here and the rest is up to him.

Taylor Henry received his bachelor's degree in English and Philosophy from Spring Hill College and his graduate degree in Mass Communication from the College of Communication and Information Sciences at the University of Alabama.
Taylor Henry worked as a journalist with WWL-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana between 1981 and 1986. Afterwards, Henry worked for WDSU-TV, New Orleans. During his tenure with WDSU-TV Henry was named a defendant in a criminal court case regarding his exclusive interview with Frank Smith, who was accused of arson. The interview resulted in federal prosecutors issuing a subpoena for the unaired portions of the recorded interview to use as evidence against Smith. Henry and WDSU-TV successfully fought the subpoena, though the case was eventually overturned by the United States 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that reporters enjoy no privilege protecting them from legally compelled disclosure of nonconfidential information in criminal cases—leading some to refer to it as an important First Amendment case. Henry has also worked as a correspondent for CNN in both Los Angeles and Tokyo, News Director at KNOE-TV in Monroe, Louisiana, and served as Executive Producer of News for WGNO-TV, New Orleans from 2008-2009.
While Henry was News Director at KNOE-TV, the station won a 2008 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for its 4-part series, “Names, Ranks & Serial Plunder: the National Guard and Katrina,” about Louisiana National Guard troops who looted New Orleans stores and homes they were deployed to protect during the 2005 Hurricane. Henry was credited as the producer, reporter and writer of the series.
In 2011, after serving on Capitol Hill as Communications Director for Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA) and United States Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Henry joined the Catholic Archidiocese for the Military Services based in Washington, D.C., where he is Director of Public Affairs and Media Relations.

Living Democracy Citizenship Award: Juanita 'Lady' Wright
The idea for New Life Worship Center’s Summer Educational Empowerment Program began last summer as Juanita ‘Lady’ Wright was dropping off USDA-provided lunches to Roanoke children during her lunch break. Wright, a member of New Life and recently retired social worker, enjoyed spending her break dropping off lunches to schoolchildren who weren’t able to make it to one of the designated drop sites like New Life, but she felt the church could do more.
She imagined building programming in the hours before and after lunch deliveries that would address more than just the children’s physical needs. Over the next year, that dream grew as she was joined in her efforts to get SEEP off the ground by collaborators like Marilyn Whitlow, a fellow former social worker, and Gwyn Adamson, a local accountant.
On June 1, the Summer Educational Empowerment Program opened its doors at New Life Worship Center, and, thus far, it has been a tremendous success, with more than 46 children having attended the program in its first five weeks.
Both Wright and Whitlow said they believe that their backgrounds in social work were integral to the foundation of the program. “Once you’re a social worker, in some ways you’re always a social worker. It changes the way you view the world. You learn to observe situations, and you try to make decisions that make people’s lives better,” said Wright.
Both ladies say that this program is a natural extension of their time as social workers. “I’ve always worked with kids [as a social worker], and it’s just like I never stopped,” said Whitlow.
Just as integral was the notion that any program they created needed to address ‘the whole child’— physically, socially, educationally, and spiritually. A typical day at the SEEP reveals this holistic emphasis: the children play outside before participating in a Bible devotional. After more outside playing time, the children head back inside to take part in math, science, or reading lessons, depending on the day. After lunches arrive, the children eat and visit until the program ends for the day.
This comprehensive approach was crafted with the children’s futures in mind. Wright said that addressing the children’s character during the SEEP was a vital component of the program because it was their character that would help them to be successful in the future.
“I believe that in today’s culture character is so important. One of our assignments is to give the children words like respect, discipline, integrity, and maturity to look up, and they return with the definitions so that they can learn these words and how important the concepts are,” Wright said.
She added that they try to stress practicing The Golden Rule and respecting others and also discuss parts of school life like bullying. “Above all, we try to teach them about self-worth,” said Wright. Referencing Psalm 139:14, she said that the children are wonderfully and fearfully made, and she wants them to realize just how much they are loved by God, by their families, and by their communities.
Their efforts have already paid dividends with the children who regularly attend the Empowerment Program, held every Monday through Thursday morning.
Wright and Whitlow said that they see marked improvements in each of their four areas of interest— socializing, education, physicality, and spirituality. “We have a lot of kids really come out of their shells [at SEEP]. Kids who had trouble socializing are now sharing better and playing better than when they arrived,” said Whitlow.
Educationally, Wright said she also believes that the program is helping children retain the information they learned during the school year. “Educational programs during the summer are really important because they help the children stay focused and not lag behind when they come back to school,” she said.
Wright and Whitlow also recall how amazed they were that the children were thrilled to play with a rope and some swings. They take pride in the children being physically active rather than plugged into a computer or video games. They also mentioned how beneficial it is that the children are participating in regular Bible studies so that they can grow in their faith as well.
Considering their remarkable achievements so far, Wright and Whitlow said that they plan to hold the SEEP next summer as well. “We were almost a little surprised by how many children have come, especially considering that our only advertising was word-of-mouth,” said Wright.
Indeed, the program has been so successful so far that the only alterations that the ladies are planning are those that allow them to accommodate more children. “I don’t know of anything in the program that I’d change other than maybe more teachers,” said Whitlow. “We never imagined it would be anything like this. Now that we know how big it is, we also want to apply for some grants to help support the program,” Wright added.
An incredibly humble person, Wright insists that her work is just part of her civic and religious duty. “I just saw something that seemed like it might need to be addressed and did it,” she said.
Perhaps she’s right, but I think there’s more to it than mere duty. I think the world needs more Lady Wrights— faithful civic agents who work diligently to make their communities a better place. Unfortunately, these agents often don’t get the praise or recognition they deserve, but they are vital to a community’s success.
By recognizing their efforts, perhaps we can encourage others to follow their example and to come alongside these servant-leaders. Even if Wright and the other leaders of SEEP are ‘just doing it’ because they are trying to fill a need, Roanoke and the children of the Summer Educational Empowerment Program are better for the work they’ve done, and, to me, that’s what community engagement is all about.

Ready-to-use for application in fluorescence microscopy procedures. With increasing age, the autofluorescent pigment lipofuscin accumulates in the cytoplasm of many cell types, including neurons. The presence of lipofuscin granules can complicate the use of fluorescence microscopy in the central nervous system because of its broad excitation and emission spectra, which overlaps with those of most commonly used fluorophores. The Autofluorescence Eliminator Reagent will reduce or eliminate lipofuscin-like autofluorescence without adversely affecting other fluorescent label in sections of human, monkey or rat neural tissue as well as other tissues.
Fluorescence immunohistochemistry counterstain.
1.After immunofluorescence histochemistry, the sections are immersed in PBS for 5 min.·
2.Sections are immersed in 70% ethanol for 5 min.·
3.Sections are immersed in Autofluorescence Eliminator Reagent for 5 min.
4.Sections are immersed in three changes of 70% ethanol for 1 min. each time.·
5.Sections are mounted using an antifading solution (e.g. DABCO, non-xylene-based).
Note: Reagent will block all fluorescence if incubation is too long; length of incubation time and number of 70% ethanol washes can be altered and optimized for various tissues and fluorescent antibody probes. In some instances the reagent can be applied prior to immunofluorescence, however in most cases better results are obtained when used as we direct above (use after immunofluorescence procedures are completed).
Optimal time of incubation with the Autofluorescence Eliminator Reagent should be determined by the end user for each sample.
Absorption maximum: 595-605
Liquid in 70% ethanol containing no preservatives. Store at room temperature in the dark.
Storage and Stability
When stored at room temperature, this reagent is stable up to the expiration date printed on the label. Do not freeze or expose to elevated temperatures.

This white marble mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century as a memorial for his beloved wife. Its exquisite beauty, intricate carvings, and stunning symmetry make it a must-visit destination.
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, Agra Fort, also known as the Red Fort of Agra, is a massive fortress constructed by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century. The fort’s architecture is a fusion of Islamic and Hindu styles, and it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until the capital shifted to Delhi.
Located around 40 kilometers from Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is a well-preserved ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century, it served as the capital of the Mughal Empire for a short period. The city showcases a blend of Mughal, Persian, and Hindu architectural elements and houses several beautiful structures like the Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and Panch Mahal.
Often referred to as the “Baby Taj,” Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb is a mausoleum built for Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who served as a minister in the Mughal court. This exquisite marble tomb is known for its intricate inlay work and delicate carvings, similar to the Taj Mahal, making it an architectural gem.
Situated across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal, Mehtab Bagh is a beautiful garden complex offering stunning views of the Taj Mahal. It is a popular spot for visitors to relax, take photographs, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere while admiring the Taj Mahal from a distance.
Sikandra is the final resting place of Emperor Akbar. The tomb is a magnificent blend of Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain architectural styles. The red sandstone structure showcases intricate carvings and is set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens.
Apart from these prominent attractions, Agra also offers various local bazaars and markets where visitors can experience the vibrant culture, shop for handicrafts, marble products, and indulge in delectable Mughlai cuisine.
Please note that due to the dynamic nature of tourism, it is always recommended to check the current status and accessibility of these places before planning your visit.
7. Akbar’s Tomb Agra
Akbar’s Tomb in Agra is a magnificent mausoleum that serves as the final resting place of the Mughal emperor Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar. Located in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, the tomb is an architectural masterpiece and a significant historical site.
The construction of Akbar’s Tomb began during Akbar’s reign, and it was completed by his son, Emperor Jahangir, after Akbar’s death in 1605. The tomb complex is spread over a vast area and is surrounded by beautiful gardens, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.
The main structure of the tomb is built on a raised platform and is constructed using red sandstone. It follows a blend of architectural styles, incorporating elements of Islamic, Hindu, and Persian design. This fusion of influences is characteristic of the Mughal architectural style seen in many other structures of the era.
The tomb building is five stories high and features intricate carvings, delicate marble inlays, and decorative patterns. The ornate detailing showcases the craftsmanship and artistic brilliance of the Mughal artisans. The structure is topped with a white marble cenotaph, or a symbolic tomb, of Emperor Akbar.
Inside the tomb, the central chamber houses the cenotaph, which is surrounded by finely carved screens and inscriptions from the Quran. The actual burial chamber of Akbar is located below the cenotaph, in a crypt that is not accessible to the public.
The tomb complex also includes other structures such as a mosque, gateways, and pavilions. These additional buildings were used by the caretakers of the tomb and served various purposes related to the maintenance and administration of the site.
Akbar’s Tomb is a popular tourist attraction in Agra, drawing visitors from around the world. Its architectural grandeur, historical significance, and the peaceful ambiance of the gardens make it an important part of Agra’s rich cultural heritage. The site offers an opportunity to learn about the Mughal era and appreciate the architectural marvels of that time.
When visiting Akbar’s Tomb, one can explore the well-maintained gardens, admire the intricate craftsmanship, and soak in the historical and cultural significance of the monument. The site provides a glimpse into the legacy of Emperor Akbar and the Mughal Empire, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those interested in Indian architecture.
8. Jama Masjid Agra
Apologies for the confusion earlier. I must correct my previous statement. There is indeed a Jama Masjid in Agra, India. Here’s more information about it:
Jama Masjid Agra, also known as the Jami Masjid or Friday Mosque, is a historic mosque located in the heart of Agra. It is situated opposite the Agra Fort and close to the Agra Fort Railway Station. The mosque was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who is famous for constructing the Taj Mahal.
Built between 1644 and 1656, Jama Masjid Agra showcases a fusion of Islamic, Persian, and Mughal architectural styles. The mosque is constructed mainly using red sandstone and boasts intricate marble inlays and delicate carvings. The grand entrance gate, adorned with beautiful calligraphy and decorative elements, leads visitors into the mosque complex.
The Jama Masjid Agra is one of the largest mosques in India, with a capacity to accommodate thousands of worshippers during Friday prayers. The main prayer hall features a large central courtyard surrounded by a colonnade with arched openings. The courtyard has a central ablution tank for ritual cleansing before prayer.
The mosque’s main prayer hall is crowned with three elegant marble domes, flanked by two towering minarets on either side. These minarets offer a panoramic view of the Agra cityscape and the nearby iconic monuments.
The interior of the mosque is adorned with beautiful Quranic inscriptions and intricate designs. The prayer hall houses the mihrab, a niche indicating the direction of Mecca, where worshippers face during prayer. The pulpit, or mimbar, is another significant feature of the mosque, from where sermons are delivered during religious gatherings.
Jama Masjid Agra holds religious and cultural significance for the local Muslim community and attracts visitors from around the world. It not only serves as a place of worship but also as a historical landmark that reflects the architectural brilliance of the Mughal era.
Visitors to Agra often include a visit to Jama Masjid to appreciate its grandeur, soak in the serene atmosphere, and learn about the rich cultural heritage of the region. The mosque stands as a testament to the artistic prowess and religious tolerance prevalent during the Mughal rule.
Best Time To Visit Agra
The best time to visit Agra is during the winter season, which spans from October to March. Here’s a breakdown of the different months and their characteristics:
October: The beginning of October marks the end of the monsoon season in Agra. The weather starts to cool down, and the city experiences a transition from humid to pleasant conditions. It’s a good time to visit if you prefer fewer crowds and want to explore the attractions comfortably.
November to February: These months constitute the winter season in Agra, offering the most favorable weather for tourists. The days are mild and sunny, while the nights can get chilly. Average temperatures range from 8 to 25 degrees Celsius (46 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), making it comfortable for outdoor activities and sightseeing. It’s the peak tourist season due to the pleasant weather, and the city can get crowded, particularly around major attractions like the Taj Mahal.
March: March marks the beginning of spring in Agra, and the weather remains pleasant with slightly warmer temperatures. It’s a good time to visit if you want to avoid the peak tourist season crowds. The days are still comfortable for sightseeing, although the evenings may start getting warmer.
It’s important to note that Agra experiences extreme temperatures during the summer months from April to June, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). The scorching heat can make outdoor exploration uncomfortable and strenuous. Similarly, the monsoon season, from July to September, brings heavy rainfall and high humidity, which can hinder sightseeing activities.
To make the most of your visit, it’s recommended to plan your trip during the winter season when the weather is pleasant, the skies are clear, and you can comfortably explore the attractions in Agra, particularly the iconic Taj Mahal. However, do keep in mind that the peak tourist season during this time may result in larger crowds, so it’s advisable to plan your itinerary accordingly and book tickets in advance to avoid any inconvenience.

Broccoli & Cheddar quiche
This will be saved to your scrapbook
You can also add it to one of your existing cookbooks
320g shortcrust pastry sheet
Plain flour, for dusting
1 tsp nigella seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
200g pack Waitrose Duchy Organic Tenderstem Broccoli, trimmed
3 British Blacktail Free Range Medium Eggs
200ml Waitrose Duchy Organic Semi-Skimmed Milk
100ml double cream
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
100g Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar, grated
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Lay out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Fold it in half widthways, sprinkle with the nigella seeds, then roll it until large enough to comfortably line a 23cm loose-bottomed, fluted tart tin.
2. Carefully line the tin with the pastry, nigella seed side facing outwards. Trim the edges so the pastry overhangs by 1cm and prick the base all over with a fork. Line with a large circle of baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake the pastry for 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans and bake for another 10 minutes, or until light golden all over. Trim the overhanging pastry from the tart case with a sharp serrated knife.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and gently sweat the onion for 5-6 minutes, until starting to soften. Put the broccoli in a large mixing bowl, halving any thicker stems lengthways first. Cover with just-boiled water from the kettle and set aside for 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli, roughly chop ½ of it and add to the pan with the onions. Fry gently for another 4-5 minutes. Set aside the remaining broccoli.
4. Whisk the eggs, milk and cream together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the onion mixture, parsley and ¾ of the Cheddar. Season. Pour the egg mixture into the case, arrange the reserved broccoli on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and set. Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
Cook’s tip Take the pastry sheet out of the fridge 15 minutes before you want to unroll it. If it becomes too soft to work with at any point, pop it back in the fridge for 10 minutes to chill and firm up.

AFTER an extensive study of the commercial vehicle aftermarket, Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Kumar Saha identified some key trends:
- Economic uncertainty will continue raising the average age of vehicles.
- There will be growing consolidation in the independent aftermarket, rising importance and prevalence of the OES channel, and a strengthening regulatory environment.
- Fuel-efficiency, emission-reduction, and soft technologies (safety, telematics, etc) will drive growth opportunities.
- Fleet budget restraints, the growing complexity of components, and repair work will lead to a polarization in maintenance practices.
“If there's one thing that will separate the winners from the also-rans in this market, it will be technical preparedness,” Saha said. “The fact that advanced technologies will drive the future of the trucking industry may sound like a cliché, but technical-knowledge management, or lack thereof, remains the 1000-pound elephant in the room. So I have three words for you: Feed the elephant.”
In “Revenue Streams in a Hyper-Competitive Market,” Saha said that without a steady increase in trucks on the road, there won't be much of a market to fight over.
And he said that the good news is that there were 6.4 million Class 4-8 trucks in operation in 2010 — with Class 7-8 trucks accounting for two-thirds of the truck population — and growth is projected to be fairly consistent, with total trucks estimated at 7.1 million by 2017.
The rising average age of vehicles is an opportunity for service, but low vehicle growth limits the aftermarket potential.
Market drivers through 2017: improving OE parts quality means they last longer, resulting in a lower replacement rate; the surge in verticalization of OE components will have an overall restraining impact on the aftermarket by hurting competition; advanced technologies are driving up operating costs for repair facilities; value-priced replacement parts from Asian manufacturers are driving down the market, lowering the barrier for entry and eating into profit margins of North American manufacturers; a rise in component complexity; stringent emissions, idling, and safety regulations; growing freight tonnage; rising average age of commercial vehicles due to delayed purchasing trends; and an increase in new truck sales in 2010-2011.
He said component revenues in 2010 were $14.75 billion and are estimated to be $21.1 billion in 2017.
“What will drive this growth?” he said. “Components such as tires, brakes, and chassis systems will deliver stable revenue streams because of tightening safety regulations and fleet concerns over vehicle downtime caused by crashes or safety violations.”
Looking at the competitive landscape, channel winners will leverage proprietary parts, diagnostic, technician, and repair capabilities.
“Consolidation of distributors and shops will level the playing field for HD specialists,” he said. “Automotive distributors will gain share through increased HD expertise and customer service expertise.
“Independents still hold about 60% of the market. However, the overall independent-channel forecast is to lose market share, primarily because of the inherent weakness of smaller market players.”
Competition to increase
He said the commercial vehicle aftermarket gained 2% in outsourced services between 2008 and 2010 and is likely to gain about 5% more by 2017. An increase in service contracting will heighten the competition between OES and independent channels.
“The number of smaller truck fleets is forecast to increase at a faster pace than large truck fleets,” he said. “These fleets do not have on-site repair facilities, thus driving more business to OE and independent participants. Long-haul fleets are expected to do more of their maintenance in-house. Conversely, urban fleets will drive heavily to outsource their maintenance programs.
“Class 4-8 truck repair and maintenance channels are finding it increasingly harder to attract skilled technicians because of the complex and dirty nature of the work. Dealerships are expected to grow their skilled technician numbers in the short and medium term because of their ability to offer higher wages and training. The rising complexity of components and adoption of advanced technologies puts technician knowledge management issues at the center stage.
“Despite the slight economic recovery, fewer shops are providing the level of training that they historically provided. In 2010, 55% of independents offered formal training services versus 87% of dealerships. Rising OES market share creating greater pressures on independent repair facilities to upgrade their knowledge and skills. Technician training is emerging as a new and potentially rewarding revenue stream for the service and maintenance industry.”
Saha said growing adoption of advanced technologies in telematics, advanced safety, and powertrains will have a long-term impact on aftermarket.
“CSA 2010 and braking-distance regulations will drive the demand for air-disc brakes and larger drum brakes, while impending active and passive tire pressure monitoring Systems (TPMS) and Hours of Service will drive the adoption of EOBR (Electronic On-Board Recorders), and although ESC (Electronic Stability Control) regulations may come into effect beyond 2013, its impact on the aftermarket will be negligible since these systems generally last for the entire lifecycle of a vehicle.
“The big giant dollar sign belongs to aftertreatmemt. The market is expected to grow from $530 million in 2010 to $2.9 billion in 2017.”
He said prognostics and diagnostics “continue to be the darkhorse of the trucking industry.”
“Ignore them at your own peril,” he said. “Prognostics is a major revenue growth opportunity to all corners of the truck industry. For OES, it will allow dealers to address potential defects more quickly, giving greater customer satisfaction, and also stay connected with customers throughout the lifecycle of the truck and reduce warranty cost on certain parts or negotiate with the supplier of that system. For independents, it reduces inventory costs and helps proactive warehouse distributors and HD specialists increase their service business. For fleet owners, it reduces downtime and gives peace of mind.”
How to ensure that revenue streams continue flowing at a steady pace? Saha had strategic recommendations for aftermarket participants:
Differentiate between premium and value lines to target diverse vocational needs and develop synergies with larger independent participants to explore private label opportunities.
- HD specialists
Invest in advanced diagnostic capabilities, capitalize on knowledge of safety and chassis components, and develop a long-term strategy for aftertreatment components.
- Smaller independent operators
Align business operations with HD specialists or parts networks, and target smaller fleets for service contracts.
- OE channel
Leverage knowledge of proprietary and advanced technologies, offer competitive menu pricing, and reduce turnaround time.
- Auto warehouse distributors
Leverage automotive customer service and program groups, and attract technicians from existing automotive pools and retrain them for HD maintenance.
- Truck stops
Focus on safety-related unscheduled repair categories as well as tire-repair opportunities and grow infrastructure for DEF replenishment.

Many parents already know that coloring pages help develop their children's artistic abilities. They may not be familiar with the ways that using coloring pages can help their little ones to improve their skills towards writing. As children practice coloring, their abilities to stay within the lines improve over time. This focused ability to control the pencils or crayons precisely is an important part of being able to hold a writing instrument still and steady for when it is time to draw the letters of the alphabet. Artistic abilities are cultivated and strengthened in children who do well at coloring pages. Besides this, they will find it easier to start writing their alphabet letters when the time for this comes.
Parents can also encourage their children to color such pages over internet only. Coloring pages massively enhance your children artistic abilities and promote imaginative creativity amongst them. Parents may think that when their child colors the best, he is done with it, but is not correct. Your children require a lot of practice to gain and master the coloring skills. So go for them today!
There are so many online printable coloring pages that you can have a blast offering them to your children. Perhaps you don't have children of your own but you often have friends and family that come over with their young ones. You don't want the kids to be bored at your house. Allow them to pick some coloring sheets that you can print for them. Have crayons and other supplies on hand for them and they will feel very welcome in your home.

In order for a child to be happy and develop well, the role that parents play is extremely critical. They are the children’s first heroes and friends. Children learn most of their first lessons and concepts of the world around them from their parents. This is why parents should understand the ways to put their children’s creativity and mental abilities to positive use. Among the easiest ways to do this is through encouraging the children in coloring at a young age. Children who begin coloring at an early age have fewer mental problems than those who don’t. They are also better writers and artists, have fuller imaginations, and learn important life lessons and values more easily. Children who have a strong and active imagination possess a powerful tool that will serve them well throughout their lives. Coloring books and coloring pages are a terrific tool for getting started in accomplishing this task. This is because such coloring pages develop and encourage the creativity lying latent in the child. Children are able to imagine how a picture might look in different color combinations, and this simple act has the power to create a strong and flexible mind.

Lauren Ritter has been sharing her liminal style of music with every corner of the world for over a decade. She has toured the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and won’t stop until she’s played her first Space X party on Mars. Ritter’s groove-driven, emotive, minimal house has made her a powerful favorite of the dance music elite and a 7-year resident of ReSolute NYC. Her introspective, stripped-down compositions have been a stargate to underground dance music for veterans and newcomers alike. An archivist and researcher at heart, Ritter’s versatility stems from a record collection that spans decades and embraces the strange and arcane. Her 2015 and 2016 All Day I Dream releases quickly became a favorite among fans and critics, being described as “hypnotic,” “mesmerizing,” and “a bittersweet headrush.” Swoon and the title track Lark have since been featured on several BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes, expanding her reach well beyond the underground. However, it’s her live sets that treat fans to the esoteric spirit of dance music.There are concrete plans for a 2019 release. However, the label and specifics are under lock and key.

Adding fluoride to New Tecumseth’s water supply won’t be on the municipal ballot in the upcoming election unless 10 per cent of the residents on the town’s water supply sign a petition.
In September, council voted to stop fluoridating Tottenham’s water supply and asked staff to draft a report on how to put the question on the ballot for the upcoming Oct. 27 municipal election.
At the committee of the whole meeting last night, staff gave council four options to move forward on how to ask the public about fluoridation.
Council voted in favour of leaving it to at least 10 per cent of the electors on the town’s water supply or who can be hooked up to the town’s water supply to sign a petition. If the town receives a petition, at that point council would have to put the question to the electors before or at the next municipal election.
Tottenham Coun. Jim Stone has led the push to end fluoridation in Tottenham for years.
“There is so much evidence that fluoride is harmful, I don’t think we should have it on the ballot,” Stone said.
Alternatively, Mayor Mike MacEachern defended his original argument for allowing the residents to decide whether or not to fluoridate the water.
“When they voted for this they all got reasonably educated with regard to fluoridation and decided whether or not they wanted it in their system. For us to unilaterally take it out wasn’t fair to those people that had educated themselves enough to make that decision,” he said.
The Fluoride Act doesn’t require a plebiscite.
CAO Terri Caron explained that if you ask the fluoridation question and the majority of voters say yes, it’s binding and has to be added to the system.
The act does not state, however, how long the process must be done for.
“Subsequently, if there’s a decision later taken to remove it, the act provides for the process for that and it does not include a mandated going back to the electors,” she said.
Up until the process was stopped in the fall, Tottenham’s water had been fluoridated since 1973, when residents voted in favour of it during an election. Alliston and Beeton are on a different system and haven’t had fluoride in the water.
The remaining three options presented to council March 24 on how to move forward with fluoridation are to put the question on the ballot, put the question to the electors outside of an election process, or consider an alternate process for public consultation.
Council can still change their minds on how to proceed at its council meeting Monday, March 31.


Ice Cube lashed out at “Saturday Night Live” for mocking him during its Halloween episode cold open about working with Donald Trump.
The last episode of the popular NBC sketch show before the 2020 election opened with Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden reading a parody of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” and featured appearances by Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton, Mikey Day’s Nate Silver, as well as Ice Cube and Lil Wayne, played by cast members Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd, respectively.
As Biden read from the story, he noted that the rappers are planning to vote for Trump before the camera panned to show them standing beside him wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats. The duo noted that they will cast a vote for Trump because, as wealthy celebrities, they’re worried about their taxes going up under a Biden presidency.
ICE CUBE CLAPS BACK AT SCARBOROUGH, MAKES PLEA FOR BLACK AMERICA: ‘WE REALLY NEED HELP’
“f— you SNL,” the real-life Ice Cube tweeted in response to the clip. “Trying to reduce me to greed.”
In the sketch, the two rappers noted that Trump has been working with them on his Platinum Plan for the Black community in America.
“If you’ve got a Platinum Record, you can plan on him doing a photo op with you,” Thompson says as Cube during the sketch.
The real-life rapper apparently took issue with the notion that he’s supporting Trump in an effort to pay fewer taxes. In fact, during a recent appearance on “The Daily Show,” he refused to endorse either Trump or Biden, reasoning that the second he does, the issues presented in his “Contract with Black America” would go out the window and he’d be lumped in as just another celebrity endorser.
ALTERED PIC OF ICE CUBE, 50 CENT IN ‘TRUMP 2020’ HATS GOES VIRAL
“I want to keep our issues top-of-mind and at the forefront of everything. So, you know, it’s politics; the Trump campaign put out those headlines, but you’ve got both sides putting out headlines. You’ve got celebrities on both sides with headlines,” he explained. “You know, campaigns try to use political footballs in any way they can. At the end of the day, American people are smarter than that. American people are going to look at all of the facts and go and vote for the person they believe can win and do a better job.”
Ice Cube summed up his thoughts on the subject of working with Trump by noting that anyone who thinks working with him on behalf of the Black community makes him an outright Trump supporter is incorrect.

“I knew whoever did and tried to use me like that would be mistaken because I was going to come out and tell the real,” he concluded. “I’m going to always speak the truth and that’s the problem. I understand the game. I don’t mind people taking shots at me because I talk to both sides of the aisle, but always believe this is a non-partisan issue. I’ve been saying ‘bipartisan’ but it’s really a non-partisan issue. No matter what side of the fence you’re on, it’s time for both sides to come together and solve this problem.”

In his “Contract with Black America,” Ice Cube asks politicians for banking, police and prison reform; elimination of all Confederate statues; federal funding of “baby bonds” starting with $1,000 at birth, among other reforms to support the Black community in order to earn the “support of the Black vote.”

Visit lbetting.co.uk how to sing-up at ladbrokes
Under the auspices of the Institute of graphic arts of Oaxaca, the library for the blind "Jorge Luis Borges" project has been developed, says Freddy Aguilar, especially since Oaxaca is a State with numerous cases of blindness and there is very little attention from the education authorities.
Oaxaca is the spiritual reserve of Mexico. Not only because its mountain ranges have been a natural wall against the invader and the foreign predator.
Or because the treasure of our most essential identity is kept in its bowels.
The northern Sierra of Oaxaca is an exceptional place. A real niche, not only ecological and natural beauties, but mainly by its human and cultural wealth. But one of the unsurpassable "jewels" of this corner of the State is without a doubt Capulalpam de Mendez.

EXPLORA UNVEILS EXPLORA EL CHALTEN IN ARGENTINIAN PATAGONIA
Twenty-room lodge within Los Huemules Natural Reserve to offer explorations across expanses of forest, mountains, glaciers, and lakes ** Opening December 15, 2021 **
Experience the wilds of southernmost South America with all the senses and from a whole new dimension at Explora El Chaltén, Argentinian Patagonia. Set to open on December 15, 2021, Explora’s newest address is a destination with comforts all its own for explorations within Los Huemules Natural Reserve, a private 14,300-acre spread devoted to the preservation of native flora and fauna in the hushed heart of the Electrico Valley at the entrance to Campo de Hielo Sur.
Surrounded by ancient forests, rushing rivers, and towering mountains, Explora El Chaltén is nestled just 10 miles from the town of El Chaltén within a natural amphitheater of rock, mountains, and ice, providing stunning and near-endless expanses for travelers to get out, get moving, and explore deeply. As at every Explora destination throughout the continent, there will be plenty of bespoke opportunity for all of the above, with more than 30 available explorations mapped and designed by Explora for immersive outdoor activities of all levels and for all the senses, including hiking, overland trips, rock climbing, and even ice hiking over long stretches to areas well beyond typical attractions. Activities will always be adaptable to individual needs, with Explora’s own guides available to customize explorations to the abilities and interests of travelers.
Of course, even “typical attractions” are breathtaking to behold in Patagonia, with rolling rivers, turquoise lakes, forests of lengas, ñirres and coihues trees, and vast ice fields surrounded by skyscraping Andean peaks.
At Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, for instance, guides and travelers will head for views of shimmering glaciers through the valleys of Laguna de Los Tres, Laguna Torre, and Pliegue Taumbado, all within the shadows of Mount Fitz Roy and Mount Torre. Full-day hikes will include luxurious lunch picnics amidst 360-degree views of mountainous nature.
More than 25 kilometers of marked trails within the Los Huemules Reserve are available to Explora guests. From there, even the Cagliero Glacier can be explored, a gateway to the Southern Ice Fields, the world’s third-largest freshwater storage after Greenland and Antarctica.
Breathing the purest air at Lago del Desierto, fragrant forest walks will lead to Cerro Vespignani and its eponymous glacier, with a profound story of territorial conflict between Chile and Argentina to set the scene. Founded in 1985, the remote trekking haven helped strengthen Argentina’s claim to the territory.
Explora will also offer optional explorations for an additional fee, including a walk over the Cagliero Glacier and a full-day exploration to Perito Moreno Glacier in El Calafate. The latter includes transfers, time spend with gauchos, lunch, and navigating by vessel in front of the Perito Moreno glacier, all in the company of an expert guide. The excursion is a stunning way to experience these natural wonders and ice formations.
The more adventurous can join the Explora rock-climbing school, which offers three different levels, including an introduction to the discipline.

Without an immune system, our bodies would be exposed to attack by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more. It is our immune system that keeps us healthy as we move through a sea of pathogens. This vast network of cells and tissues is constantly on the lookout for invaders, and once an enemy is detected, a complex attack is mounted.
Immune system – Characteristics
The immune system is spread throughout the body and involves many types of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues. Fundamentally, it can distinguish our tissue from foreign tissue: oneself and another not. Dead and defective cells are also recognized and eliminated by the immune system.
If the immune system encounters a pathogen, for example a bacterium, virus or parasite, a so-called immune response occurs. White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They circulate in the body in blood vessels and lymphatic vessels that resemble veins and arteries.
White blood cells look for pathogens. They are stored in different places in the body, which are known as lymphoid organs. These include the following:
- Thymus: a gland between the lungs and just below the neck.
- Spleen: an organ that filters blood. It sits in the upper left part of the abdomen.
- Bone marrow: It is found in the center of the bones and also produces red blood cells.
- Lymph nodes: small glands located throughout the body, linked by lymphatic vessels.
Immune system – Leukocytes
There are two main types of leukocytes:
These cells surround and absorb pathogens and break them down, effectively feeding them. There are several types, including:
- Neutrophils – These are the most common types of phagocytes and tend to attack bacteria.
- Monocytes – These are the largest types and have several roles.
- Macrophages – patrol for pathogens and also kill dead and dying cells.
- Masts – They have many jobs, including helping heal wounds and fending off pathogens.
Lymphocytes help the body remember previous invaders and recognize them if they attack again.
Lymphocytes begin their life in the bone marrow. Some remain in the marrow and become B lymphocytes (B cells), others go to the thymus and become T lymphocytes (T cells). These two types of cells have different roles:
- B lymphocytes: produce antibodies and help alert T lymphocytes.
- T lymphocytes: they are a type of white blood cell that are responsible for cell-type immunity.
Immune system – Function
B lymphocytes secrete antibodies (pictured) that stick to antigens.
The immune system needs to be able to differentiate itself. It does this by detecting proteins found on the surface of all cells. Learn to ignore your own proteins or self-proteins at an early stage.
An antigen is any substance that can elicit an immune response. In many cases, an antigen is a bacterium, fungus, virus, toxin, or foreign body. But it can also be one of our own cells that is defective or dead. Initially, a variety of cell types work together to recognize the antigen as an invader.
The role of B lymphocytes
Each B cell produces a specific antibody. For example, one could make an antibody against the bacteria that causes pneumonia, and another could recognize the common cold virus.
Antibodies are part of a large family of chemicals called immunoglobulins, which play many roles in the immune response:
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG): marks microbes so that other cells can recognize and treat them.
- IgM: is an expert in killing bacteria.
- IgA: gathers in fluids, such as tears and saliva, where it protects the entrances to the body.
- IgE: protects against parasites and is also responsible for allergies.
- IgD: remains attached to B lymphocytes, helping them to initiate the immune response.
- The antibodies lock onto the antigen, but they don’t kill it, they just mark it for death. Death is the work of other cells, such as phagocytes.
The role of T lymphocytes
There are different types of T lymphocytes:
- Helper T cells (Th cells): coordinate the immune response. Some communicate with other cells, and some stimulate B cells to produce more antibodies. Others attract more T cells or cell-feeding phagocytes.
- Killer T cells (cytotoxic T lymphocytes): As the name suggests, these T cells attack other cells. They are particularly useful for fighting viruses. They work by recognizing small parts of the virus on the outside of infected cells and destroying the infected cells.
Your skin is the first layer of defense against external pathogens. Everyone’s immune system is different but, as a general rule, it becomes stronger during adulthood as, at this time, we have been exposed to more pathogens and have developed more immunity.
That is why adolescents and adults tend to get sick less often than children. Once an antibody has been produced, a copy remains in the body, so if the same antigen reappears, it can be treated more quickly.
That’s why with some diseases, like chickenpox, you only get it once the body has a chickenpox antibody in storage, ready and waiting to destroy it the next time it arrives. This is called immunity. There are three types of immunity in humans called innate, adaptive, and passive:
We are all born with some level of immunity to invaders. Human immune systems, like those of many animals, will attack foreign invaders from day one. The first line of defense against pathogens is the skin and mucous membranes of the throat and intestine.
This answer is more general and not specific. If the pathogen manages to bypass the innate immune system, adaptive or acquired immunity is activated.
Adaptive (acquired) immunity
This protection against pathogens develops as we progress through life. As we are exposed to diseases or get vaccinated, we build a library of antibodies against different pathogens. This is sometimes known as immune memory because our immune system remembers previous enemies.
This type of immunity is “borrowed” from another source, but it does not last indefinitely. For example, a baby receives antibodies from the mother through the placenta before birth and in breast milk after birth. This passive immunity protects the baby from some infections during the first years of his life.
Immunization presents weakened antigens or pathogens to a person such that the individual does not get sick, but still produces antibodies. Because the body stores copies of the antibodies, it is protected if the threat reappears later in life.
Immune system – Disorders
Because the immune system is so complex, there are many possible ways it can go wrong. The types of immune disorder fall into three categories:
These arise when one or more parts of the immune system do not work. These can be caused in a number of ways, including age, obesity, and alcoholism. In developing countries, malnutrition is a common cause. AIDS is an example of an acquired immunodeficiency.
