SAN FRANCISCO nike vapormax flyknit homme pas cher , May 24 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have come up two new modified toy car designs for children with disabilities, so as to encourage them to explore, play and engage in physical and social activities.


While independent movement has been linked to a wide range of developmental benefits in young children, the new cars were developed under the umbrella of the "Go Baby Go" program at OSU, which provides modified nike vapormax flyknit femme pas cher , ride-on toy cars to young children with disabilities so they can move around independently.


"Movement and socialization are very often combined early and continually as children develop," noted Sam Logan, an assistant professor of kinesiology in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at OSU and leader of the Go Baby Go program.


A modified version of the original Go Baby Go car, the sit-to-stand car encourages the child to stand up in order to activate the switch that makes the car move. It is designed to help build the physical skills of pulling up to stand, bear weight and balance nike vapormax plus blanche pas cher , while also fostering more interaction with peers.


The "Throw Baby Throw" car, which uses a toy pitching machine to throw foam balls, provides a way for children who have upper extremity limits to participate in throwing, a fundamental motor skill, while also facilitating socialization.


Featured in a technical report published recently in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI nike vapormax plus noir pas cher ,"both of these devices are designed to encourage movement and social interaction, which are critical developmental skills for all young children," Logan was quoted as saying in a news release from OSU on Wednesday.


Modified toy cars are an inexpensive way to help toddlers with mobility issues get around, experts say. Power wheelchairs can be costly and typically aren't available for children until they are older, and may not always be an option for children who are expected to eventually be able to walk.


The goal of the new designs is to find more ways to encourage children with disabilities to move nike vapormax plus homme pas cher , play and engage with their peers from a young age. "We encourage families, clinicians and teachers to embrace a 'right device, right time, right place' approach that takes into account each child's specific needs and abilities," Logan said. "Whatever typically-developing kids do should be the gold standard for all children nike vapormax plus femme pas cher , including those with disabilities."

LONDON, June 5 (Xinhua) -- An ethnic Chinese journalist is hailed a hero Monday after it was revealed he had used his martial arts skills to tackle two of the knife-wielding London terrorists, who attacked a pub doorman.


Geoff Ho nike vapormax pas cher chine , enjoying a night out at a bar, thought he was intervening in a brawl when he saw an attack taking place as they attacked pub doorman.


A video film showed him staggering away clutching his throat after he was stabbed in the neck.


Before realising he had been involved in the horrific act of terrorism around the London Bridge area, Ho said on his social media site: "Don't know whether it was stupid or noble to jump in and break up the fight outside the Southwark Tavern, but two a***s trying to do over the lone bouncer on the door isn't happening on my watch."


He was rushed to hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment, but has been left unable to speak because of his serious injuries.


Ho nike vapormax pas cher junior , who works as business editor in London's national newspapers, the Sunday Express, is now in intensive care after being stabbed.


Ho tweeted Monday: "Thank you every one for the best wishes. I got out of surgery yesterday and am on the mend."


His own newspaper reported that Ho selflessly intervened as the knife-wielding terrorists attacked a bouncer in the doorway of the Southwark Tavern, in Southwark Street.


The Express said he was later seen walking calmly towards an ambulance escorted by a police officer holding a makeshift bandage to his neck.


Reports described Ho as a martial arts expert specialising in Kung Fu and Kickboxing.


Friends of the hero had worried about his safety when Ho appeared to go missing. Later, one friend Isabelle Oderberg said on her social media site: "We have found Geoff. He is in intensive care."


Another friend Gary Robinson said: 'Geoff update is that he is stable but can't talk. He is a true hero. He took on the terrorists when three rushed in stabbing people nike vapormax pas cher homme , using his martial arts, he fought them off.


"One missed him, the other stabbed him in the throat (and possibly stomach). He was hurt protecting others."


Robinson added: "He is in intensive care but 'doing well' according to the doctor. Unbelievable bravery. God speed your recovery. Geoff Ho, proud to call you my friend."


Sunday Express editor Martin Townsend said: "Geoff Ho is an absolutely first class reporter and a fine and decent man and our thoughts are with him and his family at this time. We are all hoping and praying for a speedy recovery."


Ho's office is five minutes walk from London Bridge where Saturday night's terror attack happened.


A van was deliberately driven into pedestrians on London Bridge and then three men with knives attacked people in the area of nearby Borough Market, killing seven and injuring almost 50 others nike vapormax pas cher femme , including Ho.


The three terrorists were gunned down and killed by armed cops responding to the attack.
