Possabilities Summer Youth Recreation Program 2018 Youth Rec Summer Program Brochure The programs offered listed in this brochure are inclusive. While the Youth Rec program is designed for youth who have disabilities, the camps/classes that your child may choose from are the same that are offered for all children in our community. PossAbilities provides extra support for your child to have successful, fun experiences with their peers without disabilities. Our goal is to help your child to explore new interests, build skills, make new friends and have fun. Contact: Robyn Befort, Program Director 208-6248 [email protected] Dates: June 11 - August 10, 2018 (Closed July 4th). There will be limited staff available August 13th – 24th. Registration for those weeks will be sent out around August 1st when staff know when they will be returning to college. We will only be offering POSM REC activities during this time. LEARN. PLAY. GROW. FOR LIFE. Registration will start March 12th. The deadline for registration for summer programming is April 27th. We want to make registration for summer programming as easy as possible but do request that registration be done in person rather than via phone or e-mail. There is annual paperwork that will need to be completed along with the program registration. If your child has a case manager, he or she must be included in this meeting as there are forms they must also sign. Participants will have a $500.00 limit for camp registration fees. That is not to say that the child cannot attend more camps if desired, but that PossAbilities will only be responsible for $500.00 in registration fees. If a child wishes to attend more camps, the family is welcome to pay privately for the additional registration fees. The fees are listed by the camp description. POSM REC activities are also always an option. For Participants registering for a half day of services, the morning must end by 12:00 and the afternoon must start at 12:30 or later. We will not provide transportation to Adaptive Park and Rec day camps. We have a set amount of staff available each week. Once they have all been scheduled with children, the registration for that week will be closed. Registration is based on a first come, first serve basis. STATEMENTS REGARDING BILLING – SUMMER PROGRAMMING 2018 Hours that are not attended but scheduled will be billed directly to the parent/guardian rather than to the Participant’s funding source. Participants will be billed for all hours scheduled regardless of attendance with the exception of: I. Hours that a Participant is sick. II. Hours that have been cancelled by May 11, 2018 Note, when only partial hours are cancelled for a particular camp (for example, if a child attends JETS Camp on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday but has an appointment on Wednesday so does not attend) parent/guardian will be billed for the fee charged by the camp for those hours regardless of when the partial hours were cancelled as PossAbilities is responsible for paying the full amount of camp fees (for the example given above, the parent/guardian would be charged $21.50 which is the daily rate for JETS camps). Transportation: Transportation will not be billed on days that a Participant does not attend. Transportation will be billed to the parent, however, if PossAbilities’ staff arrives to pick up the Participant because no notification of absence was given. Summer school for the Rochester school district is scheduled for July 9-27, Monday-Friday.

Not long ago, our knowledge of dinosaurs was based almost completely on the assumptions we made from their internal body structure. Bones and possible muscle and tendon attachments were what scientists used mostly for reconstructing their anatomy. The rest, including the colours, were left to the imagination… and needless to say the skins were lizard-like and the colours grey, green and brown prevailed.

  • D Inosaur Paleobiology
    Topics in Paleobiology The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientifi c understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms. This book provides a contemporary review of dinosaur science intended for students, researchers, and dinosaur enthusiasts. It reviews the latest knowledge on dinosaur anatomy and phylogeny, Brusatte how dinosaurs functioned as living animals, and the grand narrative of dinosaur evolution across the Mesozoic. A particular focus is on the fossil evidence and explicit methods that allow paleontologists to study dinosaurs in rigorous detail. Scientifi c knowledge of dinosaur biology and evolution is shifting fast, Dinosaur and this book aims to summarize current understanding of dinosaur science in a technical, but accessible, style, supplemented with vivid photographs and illustrations. Paleobiology Dinosaur The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, Paleobiology and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Stephen Brusatte is a vertebrate paleontologist and PhD student at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History. His research focuses on the anatomy, systematics, and evolution of fossil vertebrates, especially theropod dinosaurs. He is particularly interested in the origin of major groups such Stephen L. Brusatte as dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. Steve is the author of over 40 research papers and three books, and his work has been profi led in The New York Times, on BBC Television and NPR, and in many other press outlets.

  • Dino Osaur Revo on Disco Olution to Overy
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Katherine Nelson: 310‐975‐5975 August 15, 2011 [email protected] BAD TO THE BONE: DINOSAUR REVOLUTION TO PREMIERE SEPTEMBER 4 AND 11 ON DISCOVERY CHANNNEL On September 4 and 11, the four‐hour DINOSAUR REVOLUTION will present dinosaurs like you’ve never seen them before – combining the artistic and storytelling talents of the world’s most renowned dinosaur illustrators with the most up‐to‐date discoveries about dinosaurs, their culture and behaviors. DINOSAUR REVOLUTION makes its world premiere on Discovery Channel Sunday, September 4 and Sunday, September 11 from 9‐11PM ET/PT each night. Executive produced by award‐winning producer Erik Nelson (Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Grizzly Man), DINOSAUR REVOLUTION is rich in dramatic, pulse‐pounding and humorous storytelling – told via gripping, colorful vignettes and minimal narration. Vividly illustrated by an A‐team of animators and illustrators – including Dave Krentz (Disney’s Dinosaur, John Carter of Mars), Ricardo Delgado (Dark Horse Comics’ Age of Reptiles), Iain McCaig (Star Wars Ep. 1, 2, 3) and Pete Von Sholly (The Mask, Darkman) – the series drops viewers directly into the Prehistoric era to showcase dinosaurs in all their living, breathing glory. As DINOSAUR REVOLUTION illustrates, dinosaurs were far more active, complex and colorful than ever imagined – more like birds than sluggish reptiles. The series transports viewers to various points of place and time to highlight a host of new behaviors, including exotic mating dances (Gigantoraptor, a dinosaur resembling a 17‐foot tall turkey), the inner workings of T‐Rex’s nuclear family (Tyrannosaurus Rex, who was anything but dull and slow), and the underwater birthing of a huge marine reptile Mosasaurus.
