Georgia haven't made things easy in their recent games against Ireland and having derailed Scotland's Euro 2016 hopes, Saturday's opponent's feel they're due something against the Boys in Green. Alastair Watt answers some of our questions from Tbilisi as the Republic's World Cup bid hits crunch time.
What is the view in Georgia of the campaign to date?
There wasn't much expectation when the group began, albeit this was a fairly kind draw with no heavyweights in the group. This is the first campaign under Slovakian Vladimir Weiss, and given his relative success with his native country at the World Cup in 2010, it was hoped that Georgia might muster a 4th placed finish. That doesn't look likely now and, even though they should have more points than they do, failure to win any of their matches (two of which were against Moldova) means it's a pretty gloomy outlook.
Georgia should have beaten Wales away. Is there a feeling the table perhaps doesn't reflect the performances?
The performance in Cardiff was one of Georgia's best in the last decade. It was then very disappointing that, in front of over 40,000 in Tbilisi, they couldn't build on that against Moldova with whom they drew 1-1. There is certainly a strong case that Georgia should have earned more from every game in this group so far, but when you don't have a decent finisher it might be an issue of quality rather than luck that's let them down.
Ireland have won eight times in eight games against Georgia but we've often gotten lucky? Do Georgia feel they are due a win at home?
There's no doubt that Georgia are due at least a draw against the Irish, having given as good as they got in the last three matches anyway. In addition, even though Georgia consistently finish 4th-6th in qualifying groups, they do tend to put a spanner in someone's works. As a Scotsman, I know this only too well. I think Georgia will get one win from their remaining games but I think Wales are a more likely victim than Ireland.
Georgia are coming into the game on the back of two friendly wins but a draw against Moldova, how would you assess the current state of the Georgian game?
Football in this country is going through a transition. The GFF, under former Bundesliga veteran Levan Kobiashvili, are working hard to clean things up after years of mismanagement which saw a lot of people abandon the national team and league. Match-fixing has been a long-standing problem but stiffer penalties are hoped to stifle that. Like most nations of its size in Eastern Europe, the domestic crowds are sparse and their teams' results in European competition are poor. All of Georgia's representatives fell at the first hurdle in Europe this summer. Rugby is threatening to overtake football as the nation's most popular sport, if it hasn't done so already.
Who have been some of the standout performers and who are the ones to watch?
Vako Qazaishvili has been one of the standouts in the last 2-3 years. He's an attacking midfielder who contributes frequently with goals, including one against Scotland two years ago which gave Ireland a big lift in Euro 2016 qualification. At club level, he's had an odd year. Having excelled at Vitesse Arnhem, he made a slightly surprising move to Legia Warsaw where he made very little impact. This summer he joined San Jose Earthquakes which seemed premature for a player in his mid-20s. Time will tell whether that move rekindles his career. Otherwise, Jano Ananidze is something of a Peter Pan figure, and seems to have been around for a long, long time yet is just in his mid-20s. He had the best season of his career last season, winning the Russian league and finally finding some decent form for the national side, scoring a screamer against Austria in Tbilisi.
Georgia have a very difficult end to the group playing Ireland, Austria, Wales, and Serbia. What would be deemed a positive from these games?
Four points would be a good haul and avoiding bottom spot.

Nigel has been a magician and performer for over 20 years now. In that time, he has carved out a reputation as one of the best, most professional and (most importantly) entertaining acts out there. It doesn't matter how big, how small, how scripted or how spontaneous it is – if it involves magic, he can help.
He has performed all over the world, from multi-million pound corporate events to the most intimate of private parties, entertaining everyone from the Queen to Robert DeNiro. He's also made over 50 TV appearances.
Nigel's performances show how traditional magic benefits from his nonconformist approach - his wit and warmth only make the impossibility of his magic even more compelling. If you have a preconceived idea of what a magician is, you'll change it.
"Nigel was incredible and everyone was blown away by his tricks."
"Nigel Mead was superb – I think he is the act we need to beat for the next event!!! Put your thinking cap on Ben….I think he will a tough act beat but I have no doubt you will pull something out of the bag for us…no pressure!"
"Nigel Mead I think was the star of the show, he was a fantastic entertainer, very funny and mingled well with us before & after his performance, can you find out from him when his show on ITV2 is as I'm going to get everyone to watch it."

La sustitución de la válvula aórtica es un procedimiento por el cual la válvula aórtica defectuosa del corazón de un paciente se sustituye por una válvula cardíaca artificial. La válvula aórtica puede necesitar ser sustituida porque:

 La válvula tiene fugas (insuficiencia aórtica, también conocida como regurgitación aórtica)
 La válvula se estrecha y no se abre completamente (estenosis aórtica)

Los métodos actuales para la sustitución valvular aórtica son: la cirugía a corazón abierto, la denominada cirugía cardíaca mínimamente invasiva (MICS por sus siglas en inglés "minimally invasive cardiac surgery"), la sustitución valvular aórtica quirúrgica (SAVR) y la sustitución valvular aórtica transcatéter (TAVR).

El cardiólogo debe evaluar si un paciente podría beneficiarse de la reparación de la válvula cardíaca en lugar de su sustitución.

Historia
A finales del decenio de 1940 y principios del de 1950, los primeros enfoques quirúrgicos para tratar la estenosis de la válvula aórtica tuvieron un éxito limitado. Los primeros intentos fueron las valvotomías, (es decir, cortar la válvula mientras el corazón está bombeando).  Hufnagel, Harvey y otros desarrollaron una prótesis de válvula de bola colocada en la aorta torácica descendente (heterotopía) para tratar la estenosis aórtica, pero tuvo complicaciones desastrosas. Más tarde, con la innovación del baipás cardiopulmonar, la prótesis de válvula esférica se colocó ortotópicamente (es decir, en el mismo lugar que la válvula aórtica original). Esta primera generación de prótesis valvulares era duradera, pero necesitaba un tratamiento intenso con anticoagulantes, y la hemodinámica cardíaca se veía comprometida. A mediados de la década de 1950, Bahnson y otros desarrollaron una prótesis de una sola cúspide. A principios de 1960, Ross y Barratt-Boyes utilizaron aloinjertos. Las válvulas protésicas de tejido fueron introducidas en 1965 por Binet en París, pero se degeneraban rápidamente debido a que el tejido no estaba suficientemente preservado. Carpentier solucionó este problema introduciendo válvulas porcinas con stents preservados con glutaraldehído

Anatomía, fisiología y fisiopatología

La válvula aórtica es semilunar (en forma de media luna) con tres cúspides. Separa el corazón de la aorta. Cada cúspide está unida a la pared aórtica creando un seno; un seno de Valsalva. Los orígenes de las dos arterias coronarias están situados en dos senos de Valsalva, cada uno nombrado según la arteria coronaria que abastecen. Las cúspides están separadas por comisuras. La cúspide posterior está a continuación de la cúspide anterior de la válvula mitral (el tejido se llama cortina aorto-mitral).  La válvula aórtica se abre durante la sístole, la fuerza que la impulsa a abrirse es la diferencia de presión entre la contracción del ventrículo izquierdo del corazón y la aorta. Durante la diástole cardíaca (cuando la cámara del corazón se agranda) la válvula aórtica se cierra.

La estenosis aórtica normalmente es el resultado de la calcificación de las cúspides. Otras razones de la estenosis son la válvula bicúspide (algunos pacientes sólo tienen dos cúspides en la válvula aórtica en lugar de las tres habituales) y la estenosis aórtica reumática (ahora rara en Occidente). La obstrucción a nivel de la válvula aórtica causa un aumento de la presión dentro del ventrículo izquierdo del corazón. Esto puede conducir a la hipertrofia y, en última instancia, a la disfunción del corazón. Mientras que los rayos X y el ECG pueden indicar una estenosis aórtica, la ecocardiografía es el procedimiento diagnóstico de elección. Los hallazgos de los EE. UU. también ayudan a calificar la gravedad de la enfermedad. En casos de estenosis aórtica sintomática severa, se justifica la sustitución de la válvula aórtica (AVR por sus siglas en inglés) . En los casos de estenosis aórtica asintomática pero grave, se deben tener en cuenta más factores.

La regurgitación aórtica, por otro lado, tiene muchas causas: la degeneración de las cúspides, endocarditis, válvula aórtica bicúspide, dilatación de la raíz aórtica, trauma, trastornos del tejido conectivo como el síndrome de Marfan o Ehlers-Danlos conducen a un cierre imperfecto de la válvula durante la diástole, por lo tanto, la sangre regresa desde la aorta hacia el ventrículo izquierdo del corazón. La regurgitación aórtica aguda (causada por endocarditis, disección aórtica o trauma) termina en edema pulmonar, debido al aumento agudo del ventrículo izquierdo (LVEDP) que no tiene tiempo para adaptarse a la regurgitación. La insuficiencia crónica, por el contrario, le da al corazón tiempo para cambiar de forma, lo que resulta en hipertrofia excéntrica, que tiene efectos desastrosos en el miocardio. El ultrasonido es aquí también el mejor método de diagnóstico, ya sea transtorácico o transesofágico.

Indicaciones para la cirugía

Pautas para la sustitución de la  válvula aórtica
A medida que se dispone de datos a largo plazo sobre la supervivencia y la calidad de vida de las personas tras la sustitución de la válvula, se han elaborado directrices basadas en pruebas para la sustitución de la válvula aórtica. Estas directrices ayudan a los profesionales de la salud a decidir cuándo la sustitución de la válvula aórtica es la mejor opción para un paciente. Dos conjuntos de pautas ampliamente aceptadas que utilizan los cirujanos y los cardiólogos son las que dictan la Asociación Americana del Corazón y el Colegio Americano de Cardiología, Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease, y la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología y las de la Asociación Europea de Guías de Cirugía Cardio-Torácica para el tratamiento de la enfermedad cardiaca valvular.

Estenosis aórtica
La estenosis aórtica se trata sustituyendo la válvula aórtica para evitar angina, síncope o insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva. Las personas con estenosis aórtica severa son candidatas para el reemplazo de la válvula aórtica una vez que desarrollan síntomas o cuando su función cardíaca se ve afectada. Algunas personas con estenosis aórtica asintomática también pueden ser candidatas para el reemplazo de la válvula aórtica, especialmente si aparecen síntomas durante las pruebas de ejercicio. Los pacientes con estenosis valvular aórtica moderada que necesitan otro tipo de cirugía cardíaca (es decir, cirugía de derivación de la arteria coronaria ) también deben ser atendidos por el equipo quirúrgico si la ecocardiografía revela problemas cardíacos significativos.

La estenosis aórtica de bajo gradiente con disfunción ventricular izquierda concomitante plantea una pregunta importante al cirujano y al paciente. La ecocardiografía de esfuerzo (es decir, con infusión de dobutamina) puede ayudar a determinar si el ventrículo es disfuncional debido a la estenosis aórtica, o porque el miocardio ha perdido su capacidad de contraerse

Insuficiencia aórtica
Muchas personas con insuficiencia aórtica a menudo no desarrollan síntomas hasta después de haber tenido la enfermedad durante muchos años. El reemplazo de la válvula aórtica está indicado para síntomas tales como la falta de aliento, y en los casos en que el corazón ha comenzado a agrandarse (dilatarse) por el bombeo del mayor volumen de sangre que se filtra a través de la válvula.

Tipos de válvulas
Hay dos tipos básicos de válvula cardíaca de reemplazo: válvulas de tejido (bioprotésicas) y válvulas mecánicas.

Válvulas de tejido
Las válvulas cardíacas de tejido generalmente están hechas de tejido animal (heteroinjertos) montado sobre un soporte de metal o polímero.  El tejido bovino (vaca) es el que se usa con mayor frecuencia, pero algunas están hechas de tejido porcino (cerdo).  El tejido se trata para evitar el rechazo y la calcificación (cuando el calcio se acumula en la válvula de reemplazo y esta deja de funcionar correctamente).

Ocasionalmente, se utilizan alternativas a las válvulas de tejido animal: homoinjertos aórticos y autoinjertos pulmonares. Un homoinjerto aórtico es una válvula aórtica de un donante humano, recuperada después de su muerte o de su corazón si se está sometiendo a un trasplante de corazón.   Un autoinjerto pulmonar, también conocido como el procedimiento de Ross, consiste en extraer la válvula aórtica y reemplazarla por la válvula pulmonar del propio paciente (la válvula entre el ventrículo derecho y la arteria pulmonar). Luego se utiliza un homoinjerto pulmonar (una válvula pulmonar extraída de un cadáver) para reemplazar la válvula pulmonar del propio paciente. Este procedimiento se realizó por primera vez en 1967 y se utiliza principalmente en niños, ya que permite que la válvula pulmonar del propio paciente (ahora en posición aórtica) crezca con el niño.

Las válvulas de tejido pueden durar de 10 a 20 años. Sin embargo, tienden a deteriorarse más rápidamente en pacientes más jóvenes.  Se están investigando nuevas formas de preservar el tejido durante más tiempo. Uno de estos tratamientos de preservación se utiliza actualmente en una válvula de tejido cardíaco disponible en el mercado. En estudios realizados con ovejas y conejos, el tejido (llamado tejido RESILIA™) tenía menos calcificación que el tejido de control. Sin embargo, aún no se dispone de datos sobre la durabilidad a largo plazo en los pacientes. [31]

Las válvulas de tejido vienen con stent o sin stent. Las válvulas con stent vienen en tamaños desde 19 mm a 29 mm. Las válvulas sin stent se suturan directamente en la raíz aórtica. La principal ventaja de las válvulas sin stentes es que limitan el desajuste paciente-prótesis (cuando el área de la válvula protésica es demasiado pequeña en relación con el tamaño del paciente, lo que aumenta la presión dentro de la válvula)  y pueden ser útiles cuando se trata de una raíz aórtica pequeña. Su desventaja es que lleva más tiempo implantar válvulas sin stent que las válvulas con stent.

Válvulas mecánicas
Las válvulas mecánicas están hechas de materiales sintéticos, como el titanio o el carbono pirolítico.  Son más duraderas que las válvulas de tejido, típicamente duran 20-30 años. Sin embargo, el riesgo de que se formen coágulos de sangre es mayor con las válvulas mecánicas que con las de tejido. Como resultado, las personas con válvulas cardíacas mecánicas deben tomar medicamentos anticoagulantes (diluyentes de la sangre), como la warfarina, durante el resto de sus vidas, lo que las hace más propensas a las hemorragias. El sonido de la válvula puede oírse a veces (a menudo en forma de clics) y puede ser perturbador

Selección de la válvula
La elección de la válvula es un equilibrio entre la menor durabilidad de las válvulas de tejido y el mayor riesgo de coágulos de sangre y hemorragias con válvulas mecánicas. Las directrices sugieren que la edad del paciente, el estilo de vida y la historia médica deben ser considerados al elegir una válvula. Las válvulas de tejido se deterioran más rápidamente en los pacientes jóvenes y durante el embarazo, pero son preferibles para las mujeres que desean tener hijos porque el embarazo aumenta el riesgo de coágulos de sangre. Típicamente, una válvula mecánica se considera para pacientes menores de 60 años, mientras que una válvula de tejido se considera para pacientes mayores de 65 años

Procedimiento

Procedimiento quirúrgico

El reemplazo de la válvula aórtica se hace convencionalmente a través de una esternotomía media, lo que significa que la incisión se hace cortando a través del esternón. Una vez que se ha abierto la membrana protectora alrededor del corazón (pericardio), se canula al paciente (canulación aórtica mediante una cánula colocada en la aorta y una canulación venosa mediante una única cánula venosa auricular insertada a través de la aurícula derecha. El paciente es puesto en una máquina de baipás cardiopulmonar, también conocida como máquina de circulación extracorpórea. Esta máquina respira por el paciente y bombea su sangre por todo su cuerpo mientras el cirujano reemplaza la válvula del corazón.

Una vez en el baipás cardiopulmonar, el corazón del paciente se detiene (cardioplejía). Esto se puede hacer con un catéter de infusión cardioplégica tipo Y colocado en la aorta, desaireado y conectado a la máquina de baipás cardiopulmonar. Alternativamente, se puede insertar una cánula retrógrada cardioplégica en el seno coronario. Algunos cirujanos también optan por colocar un respiradero en el ventrículo izquierdo a través de la vena pulmonar superior derecha, porque esto ayuda a prevenir la distensión del ventrículo izquierdo antes y después del paro cardíaco. Cuando el montaje está listo, la aorta se cierra con una pinza cruzada para detener el bombeo de sangre a través del corazón y se infunde la cardioplejía. El cirujano hace una incisión en la aorta unos pocos milímetros por encima de la unión sinotubular (justo por encima de la ostia coronaria, donde las arterias coronarias se unen a la aorta), un proceso conocido como aortotomía. Después de esto, la cardioplegia se administra directamente a través de la ostia (agujero).

El corazón no se mueve y el cirujano quita la válvula aórtica enferma del paciente. Se extirpan las cúspides de la válvula aórtica y se extrae el calcio (desbridamiento) del anillo aórtico. El cirujano mide el tamaño del anillo aórtico y ajusta una válvula mecánica o de tejido del tamaño apropiado. Por lo general, la válvula se fija en su lugar con suturas, aunque hay disponibles algunas válvulas sin suturas. Si la raíz aórtica del paciente es muy pequeña, las suturas se colocan fuera de la raíz aórtica en lugar de en el anillo, para ganar algo de espacio extra.

Una vez que la válvula está en su lugar y la aorta se ha cerrado, el paciente se coloca en posición Trendelenburg y el corazón se desairea y se reinicia. Se retira al paciente de la máquina de baipás cardiopulmonar. Puede usarse el ecocardiograma transesofágico (un ultrasonido del corazón hecho a través del esófago)  para verificar que la nueva válvula funciona correctamente. Normalmente se colocan cables de marcapasos, para que el corazón pueda ser controlado manualmente en caso de que surja alguna complicación después de la cirugía. También se insertan tubos de drenaje, para drenar los fluidos del pecho. Estos se retiran generalmente dentro de las 36 horas siguientes, mientras que los cables de estimulación se dejan generalmente en su lugar hasta justo antes de que el paciente sea dado de alta del hospital.

Hospitalización y tiempo de recuperación.
Después del reemplazo de la válvula aórtica, el paciente generalmente permanecerá en una unidad de cuidados intensivos durante 12 a 36 horas. A menos que surjan complicaciones, el paciente puede irse a casa después de aproximadamente cuatro a siete días. Las complicaciones comunes incluyen alteraciones del ritmo cardíaco ( bloqueo cardíaco ), que generalmente requieren la inserción permanente de un marcapasos cardíaco.

La recuperación del reemplazo de la válvula aórtica toma alrededor de tres meses si la salud del paciente es buena. Se aconseja a los pacientes que no levanten nada que pese más de 5 kg durante varias semanas, y que no hagan ningún tipo de levantamiento pesado durante 4-6 meses después de la cirugía para evitar daños en el esternón. A menudo los pacientes son remitidos para participar en la rehabilitación cardiopulmonar, que optimiza la recuperación y la función física en pacientes con cirugías cardíacas recientes. Esto se puede hacer en un entorno ambulatorio.

Resultados
La cirugía suele aliviar los síntomas de la enfermedad aórtica que llevó al paciente a la sala de operaciones. La curva de supervivencia de los pacientes que se someten a reemplazos de la válvula aórtica es ligeramente inferior a la curva de su correspondiente población sana del mismo sexo y de la misma edad. La hipertrofia severa del ventrículo izquierdo (preoperatorio) es un factor que contribuye a la morbilidad.

Se estima que el riesgo de morir como resultado de la sustitución de la válvula aórtica es del 1 al 3%. La combinación del reemplazo de la válvula aórtica con el injerto de baipás de la arteria coronaria aumenta el riesgo de mortalidad. Los pacientes mayores, así como los que son frágiles y/o tienen otros problemas de salud (comorbilidades), tienen un mayor riesgo de experimentar complicaciones. Los posibles problemas incluyen infarto/fallo cardíaco, arritmia o bloqueo cardíaco (típicamente requiere la inserción permanente de un marcapasos cardíaco), sangrado mediastínico, accidente cerebrovascular e infección. Las complicaciones tardías incluyen endocarditis, eventos tromboembólicos (coágulos de sangre), disfunción de la válvula protésica y fuga paravalvularia (sangre que fluye entre el borde de la válvula protésica y el tejido cardíaco).

Desajuste paciente-prótesis
Cuando se trata de un anillo aórtico pequeño, el cirujano puede verse obligado a insertar una  prótesis de válvula aórtica pequeña, con un orificio demasiado pequeño en relación con el tamaño del paciente. Esto se conoce como desajuste paciente-prótesis. Aumenta la presión de la sangre que fluye a través de la válvula y puede afectar negativamente a los resultados. Se han utilizado varias técnicas y válvulas sin stent para evitar este fenómeno.

Procedimientos menos invasivos
Desde finales de la década de 1990, algunos cirujanos cardíacos han estado realizando procedimientos de reemplazo de la válvula aórtica utilizando un enfoque denominado cirugía cardíaca mínimamente invasiva (MICS). Utilizando este enfoque, el cirujano reemplaza la válvula a través de una incisión en el pecho más pequeña (6-10 cm) que la de una esternotomía media. La MICS normalmente implica tiempos de recuperación más cortos y resultados cosméticos más atractivos.

Reemplazo valvular aórtico transcatéter
Otra alternativa para muchos pacientes de alto riesgo o ancianos es el reemplazo valvular aórtico transcatéter (TAVR, también conocido como TAVI, implante de válvula aórtica transcatéter). En lugar de quitar la válvula existente, esta técnica lleva una nueva válvula al lugar de la válvula existente. La válvula de reemplazo es plegable y se lleva hasta el sitio de la válvula existente a través de un tubo llamado catéter. El catéter se puede insertar a través de la arteria femoral en el muslo (abordaje transfemoral), o utilizando una pequeña incisión en el tórax y luego a través de una arteria grande o lde a punta del ventrículo izquierdo (abordaje transapical). Para el posicionamiento de la válvula se utiliza la fluoroscopia y el ecocardiograma transtorácico TTE.  Una vez que la válvula de reemplazo está en su lugar, se expande, empujando las valvas de la válvula vieja fuera de su sitio.

Las directrices sugieren la TAVR para la mayoría de los pacientes mayores de 75 años, y el reemplazo quirúrgico de la válvula aórtica para la mayoría de los pacientes menores de 75 años. En última instancia, la mejor opción de tratamiento es una decisión basada en muchos factores individuales.

05/27/2022: Kyrgyzstan signs an opaque contract with a small chinese company – Denis Lavaud –
The Kyrgyz government has set up a new state government company to revive the country's industry, and on May 27 signed a contract with a small new Chinese company. This 200 million dollar contract (which could go up to 1 billion, subject to conditions), aims to develop renewable energies, e-commerce, artificial intelligence and the development of military drones, eco-farms and hydroelectric power stations, according to Kyrgyzindustria, the Kyrgyz state company in charge of this project and this cooperation.
This partnership nevertheless raises some questions: the Chinese company in question, Guangdong Xinjin Energy Development, was created in March in Macau, and has only a relatively modest budget (100 million Yuan, or 15 million dollars), and has never participated in the development of large-scale projects.
Kyrgyzindustria is a joint stock company, the sole owner of which is the government. Its capital amounts to 118 million dollars (1 billion som). Akylbek Japarov, the president of Kyrgyzstan and joint head of the project, sees it as a means of reviving the country's industry, renewing it, and making it a long-term creator of specialists in the industries concerned.
"Having a single shareholder in the person of the State is a guarantee, for citizens and investors, that the company develops rapidly while minimizing the risks", declared Akylbek Japarov at the launch of Kyrgyzindustria.
However, the company is subject to a privacy law, which creates civil doubts within the company. No report makes it possible to verify under what conditions the funds are allocated, while the group is led by a politician cited in a corruption case.
05/29/2022: Tajikistan and Iran put an end to their "cold war" – Denis Lavaud –
On May 29, Emomali Rahmon visited his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi, during an official stay in Tehran. The two countries, which have had contentious relations since the 1990s, now show a common desire for cooperation.
Tajikistan, which has relied on Russia for its protection for these same years, has seen a large withdrawal of Russian troops on its territory since the launch of the war in Ukraine. Like the other countries of Central Asia, Dushanbe now tends to diversify military and commercial cooperation treaties, so as not to sink with the recent isolationism of its great northern partner.
Although Tajikistan accuses Iran of supporting the opposition in the country since the 90s and the fall of the USSR and until the year 2020, the two countries have shown, since 2021 and the coming to power of Ebrahim Raisi, of a wish for relaxation. The Iranian president thus made his first official trip, in August 2021, to Tajikistan, to attend the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
Last month, the head of Iran's armed forces, Major-General Mohammad Bagheri, visited Dushanbe to initiate talks on bilateral security cooperation, as well as to visit an Iranian drone construction center. The Tajik government now seems to be reversing its hostile position towards the country, which it accused in 2016 of supporting the opposition leader (considered in Tajikistan as a terrorist) Muhiddin Kabiri, whom Tehran had invited to the "Islamic Renaissance" conference organized by the Persian state.

Second graders get presidential at OLA
SAN BERNARDINO—Where else can you get a photo opportunity with George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Abraham Lincoln among other illustrious presidents, or First Ladies Jaqueline Kennedy, Louisa Adams and Martha Jefferson? Only at Our Lady of the Assumption School in San Bernardino.
OLA's second grade class, under the expert guidance of teacher/tour director Jennifer Houghton, presented to parents and students a Presidents Day rendition of past leaders of our country. Students prepared a brief presentation for peers and parents and dressed as their president of choice. Mrs. Houghton also encouraged students to dress as presidents' wives, if they so chose, as the ultimate influencers of their time. The students researched their chosen personality, dressed in clothes appropriate for their character, and filled the room with presidential knowledge.
"The second graders really got into the personalities of their people," Mrs. Houghton remarked, noting the excitement of the students. "Dressing the part made it come alive for them."
The second graders gave their presentations several times throughout the day.
"I like having a day off," remarked Marley, donning Jaqueline Kennedy's signature pill box hat as part of her costume, "but showing all the big kids how we're the presidents is great, too."
A practical STEM project for Riverside sixth graders
RIVERSIDE—Sixth graders at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Riverside did a Science-Technology-Engineering-Math (STEM) project on Textile Pollution in which they repurposed their old flannel pajamas by making them into hand warmers
Holocaust survivor offers sobering message to junior high students
The Holocaust would seem to many junior high students to be a lesson learned in history books, a horrific tale from the past.
But for about 600 Catholic school students in the Diocese it came vividly to life when they listened to the story firsthand from survivor Jacob Eisenbach on January 29. The 95-year-old retired dentist spoke for about an hour at St. Francis de Sales Church in Riverside. The parish school hosted the talk as part of Catholic Schools Week activities, and 13 other schools sent their seventh and eighth graders to see and hear a part of history.
University of San Diego opens pipeline for local Catholic high school students
SAN BERNARDINO—Thanks to our historic tie to the Diocese of San Diego, students at the four Catholic high schools in the Diocese of San Bernardino now have a clear path to attend the University of San Diego.

Zantiqa font by 4th february is the latest work by Sergey Tkachenko. Zantiqa is a high contrast bold typeface with very versatile use in headlines, logos, posters or book & magazine covers. It is designed with very specific geometric serifs which are a little more wider than expected and thus create the illusion of two horizontal lines – one above and another below the word. Another great feature is the belance between inner an outer shape of the glyph – inner parts are rectangular while outer are always rounded. Zantiqa is font with great personality and a lot of potential in use and we also expect to see it developed in multi-weight font family and reveal its true power. Supports western and cyrilic diacritics and excellent cyrillic alphabet. Excellent choice to improve your identity in only 19 bucks!

Perhaps I'm late to the scene but thrifting through Instagram, I found this gem: YUUL YIE, a Korean footwear brand established in 2010 with a taste for the unusual in an eye popping style echoed through its pumps, boots, sandals and slippers that don't sacrifice comfort. They're the kind of footwear / accessory when and where if you needed a quick fix for an outfit, would instantly ante up a look with its classic details and subtle lines.
The brand made its way into the foreign market since 2011 with most sales generated in Tokyo when it arrived at select shop 'Wall' in the Laforet Department Store located in none other than the heart of the youth sub-culture streets of Harajuku, even on Japan's EC titan, ZOZOTOWN. After attracting a legion of followers in Asia, YUUL YIE gradually began being taken notice in the west appearing in well-known e-retailers such as Amazon, Luisaviaroma, Shopbop, Vestiaire Collective etc. Founder and designer, Sunyuul Yie discusses her brand ethos and expanding brand presence.
SVT: Has footwear always been in the back of your mind before establishing YUUL YIE and what is it that you want others to know you for?
Sunyuul: I had a hobby of collecting unique vintage shoes, jewelry such as earrings, rings, bracelets ever since my school years. Looking through my collection, I definitely acknowledged what I like and shoes were what I loved the most. There isn't a certain way that I'd like to be perceived by others, but simply, YUUL YIE represents my values, world view, and perspective therefore how people feel or talk about YUUL YIE is how I'm being seen.
SVT: Where did you learn your craft? Can you tell me your experiences such as where you've interned, worked for or which schools you've been to.
Sunyuul: Majored in women's fashion design in Esmod Seoul. Graduated with honors and had plenty of work opportunities as a designer, however I decided to work in an agency where I could source and buy from foreign brands since I wanted to have experience in various countries. Thanks to this, I was able to communicate with many designers from all over, observing what they did in their ateliers.
Since then, I got a proposal of starting a shoes design from a senior who was working in the footwear industry and I accepted without hesitation. I never studied footwear design before and basically taught myself while I was learning at the factory.
SVT: Your footwear seems draw from architectural inspirations, especially the heels which reminds me of a pillar that's supporting the body. Did you have a background in architecture?
Sunyuul: Ironically never studied architect and don't even know much about it. However, I'm always into sculptures and I follow a number of artists through SNS for inspiration. I am more into three-dimension rather than two-dimension and I go for abstract works in place of realism.
Shoes are almost like a small scale sculpture made out of leather, nail, adhesive, hammer and solid hardware. Contrary to the garment, they need to hold the center of gravity in order to support body balance with the heels as its core or pillar. I love creating new combinations from the tip of the shoes all the way to the heels as a sculpture piece to maximize the visual effect. Shoes after all, are what we prioritize, therefore function and comfort is our principal.
SVT: Which collection have you done so far that you'd say represents YUUL YIE?
Suunyul: YUUL YIE has different themes each season, but above all, one of the latest collections called "Oyster" I'd say definitely expresses YUUL YIE most. In my opinion, the public noticed the brand's design philosophy and identity through the "Oyster" collection.
SVT: I see that you're stocked at a few EC. When did the brand really start to take off and how did you expand your presence?
Sunnyul: YUUL YIE has been gradually got through to the foreign market since 2011. Sales mostly happened in Tokyo, Japan. Henceforth, we can't figure out exactly when but it was around 2016 when we had favorable responses from global buyers. It was that time since that YUUL YIE's identity presence grew more than ever and was when the signature heel design, 'Y' was created. The bold and modern design incorporates art and commerciality therefore, generated positive feedbacks from foreign markets. Additionally, another factor that impacted our expansion is that the brand itself wasn't affected much by the trends and our approach to a bolder design.
SVT: Any collaborations coming up in the near future and plans of expansion?
Sunnyul: I do research constantly to think about items that can be present within the brand. For instance, jewelry, bags, and perfumes are the areas that I'm concretely planning. One of YUUL YIE's most biggest characteristics is 'colour sense' so that I am also thinking about a cosmetic line. Starting from 2020 RS, YUUL YIE will present a jewelry and bag line that I'm extremely excited about in presenting the new objects in an alternative way.

eToro wallet adds XRP via eToroX Ltd based in Gibraltar
By Jackie Anderson7th January 2019 News
Shortly before the end of 2018, eToro announced that the eToro wallet now supports XRP. For a limited period through to the end of January 2019, no fees will be charged for both XRP wallet creation and XRP coin transfer. The eToro platform allows clients to trade cryptoassets, and the eToro Wallet now allows clients to transfer supported cryptoassets beyond the eToro ecosystem, sending and receiving directly via blockchain and also converting between cryptoassets. At the moment, supported currencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum and, now, XRP. The eToro security system's strict security protocol only permits transfers from the platform to the wallet and not from their wallets back to their eToro portfolio.
The eToro Wallet is provided by eToroX Ltd., a subsidiary of eToro, set up with the aim of further defining and executing eToro's vision using blockchain and the development of cryptoassets. eToroX will continue to provide an evolving crypto product range in addition to the infrastructure that supports the growth of tokenised assets.
eToroX Ltd. is regulated in Gibraltar, having recently been granted a DLT licence by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission, the jurisdiction's regulator. eToro group has been diligent in pursuing regulation, believing that this will allow for better security and trust for clients and for a greater worldwide adoption of cryptoassets.
Yoni Assia, Founder and CEO of eToro commented is quoted on the company website as stating: "We are proud to say that we are among the first companies in the world to obtain a licence for cryptoassets and one of very few regulated companies in the crypto space. Just as eToro has opened up traditional markets for investors, we want to do the same in a tokenised world and the creation of eToroX will help us do this."
Doron Rosenblum, Managing Director of eToroX, added: "We believe that a strong system of regulations will support the mass adoption of blockchain technology, including cryptoassets. We don't need to reinvent the wheel to regulate blockchain. While blockchain brings some unique challenges to regulators, we can protect users and help support new ideas by applying the same fundamental principles as we have in other financial markets."
Cryptocurrency Education essential says eToro survey

Thanks, for your interest. I hope you enjoy the blog. Assuming you are a Bolivia fan, which players should I be looking out for in Venezuela?
Mexico is going to be superior against Iran in Copa America. Not only because of all the talent coming from mexico, for example the mexican players that are now playing Europe, but because 8 great players from the #01 most recognized team, CHIVAS are going to be playing in the Mexico team.
It's quite difficult to find information on Copa America 2007 in Europe. I would like to know more. copaamerica.co.uk is doing a good job in the UK but that seems to be it. Any advice?

Die Gouverneurswahlen in den Vereinigten Staaten 2022 fanden am 8. November 2022 in 36 Bundesstaaten und in den drei Außengebieten Guam, Nördliche Marianen und Amerikanische Jungferninseln statt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Zwischenwahlen 2022 (auch midterm elections genannt), bei denen auch das Repräsentantenhaus, ca. ein Drittel der Senatoren sowie weitere Amtsträger und viele Parlamente der Bundesstaaten gewählt wurden.

Ausgangssituation
Von den 36 Gouverneuren stellten die Republikaner vor der Wahl 20, die Demokraten 16. Die Gouverneure in den meisten Bundesstaaten haben eine vierjährige Amtszeit, Gouverneure in New Hampshire und Vermont haben nur eine zweijährige Amtszeit. In einigen Staaten gilt eine Beschränkung der Amtszeit auf zwei oder drei Wahlperioden. In den meisten der 36 Staaten stellten sich die Amtsinhaber der Wiederwahl. In 4 der 20 Bundesstaaten mit republikanischen Gouverneuren (Arizona, Arkansas, Maryland und Nebraska) durften diese aufgrund einer Amtszeitbeschränkung nicht erneut antreten, in einem weiteren – Massachusetts – hatte der republikanische Gouverneur bekanntgegeben nicht erneut anzutreten. In 3 der 16 Bundesstaaten mit demokratischen Gouverneuren (Hawaii, Oregon und Pennsylvania) durften diese aufgrund einer Amtszeitbeschränkung nicht erneut antreten. Vor der Wahl gab es insgesamt 28 republikanische und 22 demokratische Gouverneure. Die Vorwahlen fanden je nach Bundesstaat zwischen März und September statt.

Einschätzungen zur Hauptwahl
Vor der Wahl galten laut Experten und Prognoseseiten wie Real Clear Politics 18 der 36 Gouverneursposten als potentiell umkämpft (Vorsprung der jeweiligen Kandidaten lag im Umfragedurchschnitt bei weniger als 10 Prozentpunkten).

Dies waren: Alaska (R), Arizona (R), Georgia (R), Kansas (D), Maryland (R), Massachusetts (R), Michigan (D), Minnesota (D), Nebraska (R), Nevada (D), New Mexico (D), New York (D), Oklahoma (R), Oregon (D), Pennsylvania (D), South Carolina (R), Texas (R) und Wisconsin (D) – wobei den Demokraten aufgrund der Rücktritte der populären republikanischen Amtsinhaber Larry Hogan und Charlie Baker die gewöhnlich demokratisch wählenden Bundesstaaten Maryland und Massachusetts so gut wie sicher waren (in den beiden Staaten hatten die demokratischen Kandidaten etwa 30 Prozent Vorsprung auf die Republikaner). Andererseits galt die demokratische Amtsinhaberin Laura Kelly im konservativen Bundesstaat Kansas als stark gefährdet.

Von den 18 potentiell umkämpften Staaten galten – zusätzlich zu Maryland und Massachusetts – 9 als besonders umkämpft (Vorsprung der jeweiligen Kandidaten lag im Umfragedurchschnitt bei weniger als 5 Prozentpunkten): AZ, KS, MI, MN, NV, NM, OK, OR und WI.

In Florida, wo sich am Anfang des Jahres noch ein knappes Rennen abzeichnete, konnte der republikanische Gouverneur Ron DeSantis seinen Vorsprung vor der Wahl auf 10–15 Prozent ausbauen.

Da bei Halbzeitwahlen für gewöhnlich die Partei des amtierenden Präsidenten verliert, rechneten viele Beobachter mit einer demokratischen Niederlage und Sitzgewinnen der Republikaner. Aufgrund des Urteils des Obersten Gerichtshofs zu Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen hatten sich die Umfragen während des Sommers aber zugunsten der Demokraten geändert, deren Wähler durch das Urteil motivierter waren. Lagen die Republikaner in den Umfragen im Frühjahr noch vorne, war das Rennen im Sommer weitgehend ausgeglichen. Seit Mitte Oktober konnten die Republikaner allerdings wieder zulegen und lagen in Umfragen in mehreren entscheidenden Bundesstaaten wieder vor den Demokraten. Politische Experten führten dies auf die hohe Inflation bzw. Lebenshaltungskosten und die Unzufriedenheit mit Präsident Biden zurück, die vor den Wahlen die Abtreibungsthematik erneut überlagerte.

Siblings: Is this behavior normal?
Vicki is the mother of a son with autism and a daughter from whom she has learned so much about sibling issues. She supplied the following article in which she covers the key points of sibling issues. This is not a summary of the speech she gave at the Symposium, but it covers the same issues.
To understand issues that may arise between siblings and the brothers or sisters with disabilities, we must first look at sibling relationships in general. Our siblings know us better and longer than anyone else we will ever know. Our parents will know us about 40 to 60 years, and we won't share everything with them. As a matter of fact, if you're like me, there will be quite a few things they will never know, or you would still get a spanking.
Sibling relationships, on the other hand, can last up to 80 years. Our siblings are the people we experiment on with our new found talents (like lying, and the left jab or karate kick we saw on TV last night, OR our first batch of cookies, and the discovery of makeup). We laugh, we cry, we fight, we celebrate, we mourn, and we share our deepest thoughts, feelings, secrets and fears with our siblings because of the bond that is there from the beginning. They are our first social network, and we learn how to interact with others through our interaction with them.
Do we always get along with our siblings? No way! Do we always love them? Yes. Do we always know that we love them, or they love us; or are there times in our relationship that we are sure we hate them or they hate us? Do our siblings embarrass us or we them? The answer to all these questions is generally - yes! Siblings and our family are the foundation on which we build our self-concept and our people skills. They are the gauge by which we measure our successes and our failures.
Now let's talk about the relationship between siblings and their brothers or sisters with disabilities. The relationship and all the emotions are the same with one difference. The disability has a way of magnifying all emotions, especially guilt at feeling any negative emotion like embarrassment, anger, jealousy and resentment. The research states that about half the siblings feel that having a sibling with a disability was the worst thing to happen to them, and half feel it was the best. So, how, you might be asking yourself, do I know if there is a problem, and how do I solve it? Each child and situation is different, so there is no one way to tell if a problem exists.
Some identifiable warning signs are listed below.
Depression: change in sleeping or eating habits, a sense of helplessness or hopelessness, continued irritability, has a difficult time concentrating or making decisions, may withdraw from social situations, doesn't seem to have any fun any more, and is negative about themselves or talks about hurting themselves.
Anxiety: worries a lot, an increase in energy level without purpose, cries easily when frustrated, problems sleeping, worry about the health of family members, may have lots of headaches or stomachaches, and may be a perfectionist.
If you notice several of these that last two weeks or longer, you should discuss it with your pediatrician or a mental health professional.
Each child is an individual and will display signs of stress, confusion, embarrassment, jealousy, resentment, anger, loneliness, guilt and fear in a different way. Tom may become verbally and/or physically aggressive if someone teases him about his brother, but Ann may become introverted and shy. When there is a crisis at home, grades may go down and bad behavior may go up. Watch, listen, ask questions, talk to them, their teachers and their friends. Generally be involved and show an interest in their lives, so it will be easier for them to come to talk to you about their feelings and any issues or questions.
This brings up the question of how much to tell their teachers about the sibling with the disability. If there is a crisis, and the teacher is not aware of issues in the family, they cannot help you watch for symptoms that the student is having a problem. I can't stress enough the importance of keeping teachers informed and using them as resources.
Now, let's say you think there might be a problem. We all want to believe that we are the parent, and that our children will come to us if they have a problem or question. However, many children don' t know what to ask or how to ask it. They may feel that if they ask, it will make their parents feel bad, angry, disappointed or sad. The one thing they don' t want to do is add to the problem or situation.
The key to improving any relationship is communication. The best way to show that it is okay to talk about feelings is to model that behavior. Children may not always do as we say, but will generally do what they see us do. Let them know that negative feelings are not bad but are normal. Feelings are not good or bad - they are just feelings and we don' t have a lot of control over them. We can only control how we react to them.
Be open and honest. Spend special time with each child. Remember fair in the eyes of a child is much different than fair by adult standards. Evaluate the expectations you have of each child, and don' t forget to let them just be kids once in awhile.
Siblings need to talk about their feelings in a safe environment. That environment is viewed as safe using their eyes not ours. This means that it may not be at home or with friends, but with peers who are going through the same thing. Check with agencies in your area to see if there are any sibling support groups or workshops you and the child can visit. If not, look into starting one.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased.
In a large bowl or the bowl of you mixer add the sugars and melted butter and mix well until creamy.
Add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda and salt to the bowl and beat on low speed until well incorporated, for about 30 seconds.
Add the flour to the bowl and mix until crumbles form. Note that you could mix your flour with the salt and baking soda, but I don't find that it makes a difference at all.
Add the chocolate chips to the bowl and use a spatula to mix them in to the dough.
You can use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out cookie balls or use your hands to roll out the dough into balls, up to you how big you want your cookies. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet. This recipe yields around 50 cookies, so if you can only bake one tray at a time, place the remaining cookie dough in the fridge until ready for the next batch. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until just barely golden around the edges of the cookies. DO NOT OVER BAKE.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to wire rack to finish cooling or enjoy eating them.
Why melt the butter: Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 to 40 seconds until it's almost entirely melted but not hot. I find that if you just use softened butter the cookies will not spread enough, this way melted butter will give you the perfect cookie every time.
Dough too sticky: If you find that the dough is too sticky, add a little bit more flour. You should be able to form it into a ball with your hands but still easy to handle.
How do I store them: Store them in an airtight container, and they will stay soft and chewy for about 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature. You can also freeze them in an airtight container, or wrap them in individually, then place them in an airtight container.

How to Develop for Web Accessibility
Last Edited January 25, 2018 by Garenne Bigby in Accessibility Testing
The international standard for making web content accessible to those with disabilities is called the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG for short. These requirements are known as the "success criteria". Here, you will find some of the most basic considerations that will aid you in getting started with developing content that is accessible to those with disabilities.
Identify the Page Language and Language Changes
You should aim to indicate the primary language of each page by using the lang attribute within the html tag, such as <html lang="en"> and use this lang attribute for specific elements when the language of the element is not the same as the rest of the page.
Successfully complying with this will make sure that a content developer has provided information within the web page that a user agent needs in order for text and linguistic content to be presented correctly. Conventional user agents and assistive technology will be able to present text more accurately when the language of the page has been identified. Screen readers will be able to load the pronunciation rules, and visual browsers will be presenting scripts and characters correctly. When there are several languages used within a web page, the default text-processing language will be the language that is used the most.
When done correctly, this will help those who use technologies like a screen reader to convert text into synthetic speech. It will also aid those who have difficulties reading written material fluently and accurately—due to language, learning, or cognitive disabilities. Additionally, those who rely on captions for interpreting synchronized media will reap the benefits of clear language identification.
Associate a Label on Every Form of Control
You should aim to use a "for" attribute on the <label> element that is linked to the id attribute in the form element, or you can use WAI-ARIA attributes. In some certain scenarios, it would be necessary to visually hide the <label> elements, but for the most part, case labels are indeed needed to help the reader to understand all of the required input.
When done successfully, the content authors will have placed labels or instructions that denote the controls in a form so users will know exactly what input data is expected. These labels will also indicate data formats for fields, particularly when they are not in the normal format or if there is a specific set of rules for the form. It is also possible for the content author to make a set of instructions available to those individuals with disabilities when the instructions are longer than normal and tedious. The intent is not to clutter the page with unneeded information, but provide vital cues and instructions that will be beneficial to those who have disabilities. Too little instruction can be just as hindering as too much instruction.
Clear labels and instructions are beneficial in many ways. When associated with input elements, they can be spoken by a screen reader when that field is in focus, and users that have impaired motor skills benefit from a larger clickable area, since the label will activate the control. When examples of expected data formats are given, users with language, cognitive, and learning disabilities are able to give information in the correct way. When required fields are clearly identified, those who use only a keyboard will be able to navigate the form and provide all of the information that is needed.
Utilize the ALT Text for Images
You should be making sure that the alternative text used for images is added to every functional and informational image. You may use an empty alternative text tag like alt="" for images that are decorative, or you may opt to include them in the CSS. Text alternatives are generally provided by those who are responsible for the written content.
The intent of this when done successfully is to allow information conveyed by non-text content to be accessible through the use of a text alternative. Primarily, text alternatives are used to make information accessible because they can then be furnished through other sensory modalities, like auditory, visual, or tactile in order to match the needs of the individual.
Thinking of this success in a more specific way, text alternatives are beneficial to those who struggle with perceiving visual content—they may use assistive technology to read text out loud, convert it to braille, or have it presented visually. These alternatives may also help those who have a hard time interpreting the meaning of media like images, drawings, or photographs. Text presentations aid those who are hard of hearing or have difficulties understanding audio information.
Avoid and Correct User Mistakes
Aim to give clear instructions, notifications, and error messages in order to help the users to complete the forms on your website. When an error does occur, you should be able to provide understandable explanations, suggest corrections, and help the user to find out where the problem is. The format should be as forgiving as possible when processing their input, for instance aim to accept phone numbers that include spaces, but delete spaces when needed.
Ideally, this will make sure that a user will be aware that an error has occurred, and they will be able to tell what went wrong so that they can correct the error. The error message needs to be as specific as possible, whether it is indicating an unsuccessful form submission, or anything of that nature. You should aim to indicate the fields in which an error occurred in a way that the user can perceive it. Those who use screen readers will not be able to see that there was an error until the screen reader encounters the indicator. It is possible that they will abandon the page if they think that the form simply is not working. The identification and description of the error may be combined with programmatic information that user agents or assistive technology will use to identify the error and then provide the necessary information to the user.
When used successfully, it will help those who have learning, cognitive, and language disabilities to understand the meaning of the icons and other visuals. It will also give information about input errors within the text will allow users that are blind (or colorblind) to observe the reaction of the error.
The Code Order Should Reflect the Reading Order
Be sure that the order of the elements within the code is a match to the logical order of the information that is presented. You can check this by removing the CSS styling and then review that the order of the content will make sense.
The intent for this criteria is to be able to provide a user agent with an alternative representation of the content while still preserving the reading order that is needed so that the meaning is understood. It is important to ensure the possibility to program at least one sequence that makes sense for the content.
When done correctly, this will help users who rely on assistive technology that reads content out loud. The meaning of the content in the default presentation needs to be the same when the content is presented in spoken form.
Convey Meaning and Structure with Markup
Use the appropriate markup for all headings, tables, lists, and elements like that. HTML5 will provide more elements like <aside> and <nav>, in order to structure the content in a better way. The WAI_ARIA roles will be able to give additional meaning, like role="search" that would identify a search functionality. If you are not familiar with this aspect, you should work with content writers and designers so that you will have consistent meanings throughout the content.
The reason for these guidelines is to make sure that the information as well as relationships that are implied by auditory or visual formatting are saved when the format of the presentation changes. Sighted users are able to understand structure and relationships through visual cues—headings are large and bold, list items are bulleted or numbered, form fields are in groups, and so on. When these structures and relationships are determined through programming or available in text asserts that the information that is important for comprehending the data will be able to be understood by all. Auditory cues can be implemented as well—a change in voice pitch or rate of speech could emphasize important text, and things like that.
When implemented successfully, users with various disabilities will be able to adapt the content to their own needs and will gain access to the valuable information.
Non-standard Interactive Elements Should be Given Meaning
Employ WAI-ARIA in order to provide information on the function and state for a custom widget, like a custom button. For instance, role="navigation" and aria-expanded="true". More code is required to apply the behavior of these types of widgets, like expanding or collapsing content, or how the keyboard controls a widget.
All interface components should be provided with state, role, and value information so that they are compatible with all assistive technologies.
Avoid the Use of CAPTCHA When Possible
Interestingly, CAPTCHAs create problems for a significant amount of individuals. There are several other means of verifying user input being put in by a person that are simpler to use like an automatic detection and interface interaction. If it is absolutely necessary for CAPTCHA to be used, make sure that it is fairly simple to understand and does include an alternative to individuals with disabilities. This can be done by not requiring a CAPTCHA for users that are authorized, providing access to an actual person in customer service who is able to bypass the CAPTCHA, or provide more than just two ways to solve the CAPTCHA.
Interactive Elements Should be Keyboard Accessible
Determine the keyboard accessibility when designing interactive elements like media players, menus, collapsible elements, and mouse over information. You will use tabindex="0" in order to add an element that would not normally receive focus, like <span> or <div>, into the navigational order when being used for interaction. You should use scripting to capture and respond to events triggered by a keyboard.
This will ensure that content may be operated through the use of a keyboard or keyboard interface, this allows content to be operated by people with no vision, or those who use alternate keyboards. Many actions that are performed with a pointing device may also be done with a keyboard, but there is a small fraction of actions that is done only with a pointing device. It should be noted that the designer of user input should be taking into account that some users will rely on a website having keyboard accessibility features
When done correctly, those who have low vision, those who are blind, or those who have difficulties using a mouse will be able to successfully navigate a website and use the content contained within. The content should still function in the way that it was intended in the accessible environment, and will not interfere with any of the assistive functions when displaying content. For example, a drawing program should still allow users to size, rotate, position, and draw objects using the keyboard.
The Code Should Be Written to Adapt to the User's Technology
Utilize responsive design that will help the display to adapt to different zoom states as well as viewport sizes—like mobile devices and tablets. When a font size is increased by more than 200%, do not use horizontal scrolling and prevent content from being clipped. Employ progressive enhancement to aid in making sure that the core functionality and content is accessible regardless of what technology is being used to access it.
In short, this ensures that text can be scaled either up or down to be able to be read by those with mild visual disabilities, without using assistive technology. All content on the page should be able to scale, but text is the most important. Successful use of this will allow the content to be scaled up to 200%, but beyond that is acceptable as well.
