Plus, you may need support with social interaction, education, employment and leisure activities. You must be offered psychological and emotional support, information and any other help you or your family may need. In addition, you should have the opportunity to connect with other partially sighted people. Low vision services must be available at an early stage. They must be provided by a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team of low vision professionals, at a venue that is accessible and easy to reach. Low vision services have to be free of charge or low cost. EBU promotes the implementation of these standards for low vision services in Europe, based on best practice and on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Joan- My name is Joan, I am 68 years old, and the condition I´ve got now is sort of classed as degenerative Myopia. I´ve lost the central vision in my left eye. I can still manage to read, and to see letters. I was a very confidnt, out-going person, before my sight got bad, very independent. A really nice lady told me all the different options I had and different things I could have to help me. It´s given me back a lot of confidence. Assistive technologies Joan- The first thing I learned, was to e-mail. That was one of the things that I wanted to do. I can write letters, but it’s not enjoyable anymore. So that was, wonderful. And as I say, you´re meeting people, it´s a social thing as well.
Budgets improve resources allocation, because all requests are clarified and justified. PROPOSED SYSTEM: The main objective of this project is to reduce the congestion when data transfers between source and destination. When data transfers between source and destination may be chances of occurrence of congestion and also it monitor when congestion occurs. If so that has to be intimated or warned to the user. In this System, using several algorithms viz. Leaky bucket algorithm and Virtual scheduling algorithm congestion can be avoided. Virtual scheduling algorithm monitors the congestion occurrence, when congestion occurs it intimates or warns user and simultaneously intimates when the router is free and data transferred successfully to destination. This system can be implemented in a real network to control the traffic occurred in a network. User can get to know the status of the router whether router is busy in controlling the inflow and outflow of data to transfer data to the destination. Fig. 4. Budget Formulation CONCLUSION: Budgeting allows you to make long- and projections about your financial situation, prevent crises, get the most out of your money, plan for major life changes and enjoy peace of mind. Budgeting systems - ranging from a simple notepad and pen to online financial management software - are available for all needs and preferences.

Factors out of control of the web designer and site owner are the visitor’s modem speed, bandwidth, etc. The critical factor that is the control of web designer is the content and design of the page. Large graphics or a large number of small graphics on a single page is the cause of long download times. Graphic images should be created at the lowest possible resolution so that the visitor can clearly see the picture, art or icon but so that the graphic file is only a few kilobytes in size. Page personalization features also affect a page’s downloading time. Page personalization requires information for dynamic page creation, sound files, animated banner ads, etc. To decrease page download time, these features should be avoided or used sparingly (carefully). A good mark by which to judge speed and responsiveness of the website is the 12 second rule: Every page on the website should appear within 12 seconds; if visitors have to wait longer than that for a page to appear, they will likely stop the transfer and move on to the competition. A variation of the 12 second rule is the 4-second rule, which says that something should appear in the visitor’s browser in 4 seconds or less. Even if downloading the whole page takes slightly longer than 12 seconds, if visitors can see something happening they will be unlikely to halt and move on. Colors and Graphics The key to effective use of and graphics is to design the site to match the expectations of the target audience. Financial services sites tend to use formal colors such as green or blue with simple charts to illustrate the text but not many pictures. Sites directed at female audience tend to feature lighter colors with many pictures. Game sites have flash effects and highly animated graphics.

Use the number (II) and the station number (iii) as a single five digit number IIiii (with leading zeroes). Example: upper air station 57816 would be represented by 20002 World Weather Watch Marine Platform (moored or drifting buoy, platform, etc.) 0 - platform for which the identifier was in use on 1 July 2016. Any other positive number - to distinguish between different platforms that used the same identifier at different times. Use the region/platform number combination A1bwnbnbnb Examples: the data buoy would be represented by The World Weather Watch list of data buoys lists two buoys with identifier 13001. The buoy most recently used at the time WIGOS station identifiers were introduced is allocated and the second is issued identifier (note - the Issue Number is different from
data buoy operators, fishery managers, navigation managers, and other relevant stakeholders. Objective: Explore opportunities for increasing the ability for rapid response to data buoy incidences Establish relationships between DBCP and key stakeholders to facilitate information exchange and increase awareness and allow for rapid response to data buoy incidences. This could include hosting a series of webinars on data buoy vandalism or participating in capacity-building efforts in target areas to share and promote the resources available. This could also include conducting a pilot study on an alert network for reporting data buoy incidences (observed intentional or unintentional) to allow for rapid response. Goal III: Identify key stakeholder groups and enhance education and outreach efforts to those stakeholders Outcome: Increase awareness of data buoy vandalism issues key stakeholders through strategic and effective partnerships. Objective: Identify stakeholder groups that have an interest in data buoy vandalism issues There are multiple stakeholders that have already engaged in activities to address data buoy vandalism. However, there are opportunities for re-engaging with those partners and/or identifying new partners with a particular focus on regions with the highest incidences of vandalism. This will inform the development of education and outreach materials that are most relevant to the communities in that region. Objective: Promote cooperation between and among data buoy operators, fishery managers, navigation managers, and other relevant stakeholders Promote educational and outreach cooperation regionally and internationally which could include developing specific initiatives with governmental or intergovernmental partners (i.e., RFMOs, ICGs, TOWS, International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA)) to help educate stakeholders on the benefits of data buoys and the impact of data buoy vandalism on coastal communities. This could also include increasing the outreach efforts related to existing governmental or intergovernmental initiatives. Objective: Explore opportunities for engaging with new partners to address data buoy vandalism There has been a lot of work on raising awareness of data buoy vandalism among data buoy operators and among fishery managers. There could also be opportunities for working with non-governmental partners and/or local

Almost all topics in mathematics can be taught using CRA. Students do not have to progress through the concrete to get to the representational and abstract phases. Students often work at the concrete and abstract or representational and abstract phases simultaneously. Brief Description: With CRA, students work with hands-on materials that represent mathematics problems (concrete), pictorial representations of mathematics problems (representational), and mathematics problems with numbers and symbols (abstract). The teacher explicitly bridges the connection between the concrete, representational, and abstract representations of the mathematics problems. Addition example: Concrete: Students work with plastic bears to understand addition of 2 and 4. Representational: Students count pictorial representations of bears to understand addition of 2 and 4. OR Abstract: Students add 2 and 4. 2 + 4 = __ Division with fractional answers examples (adapted from Witzel & Riccomini, 2009): Concrete: Students use manipulatives (i.e., craft sticks and paper cups) to divide 9 sticks into 3 cups “Let’s divide nine sticks into three cups. How many sticks do we have per cup?” Representational: Students draw a picture that represents 9 tallies being divided into 3 groups “Let’s divide nine tallies into three groups. How many tallies do we have per group?”
