Through our sponsorship scheme and girls' clubs we decided to look at all the reasons a girl may struggle at school. The reasons were many, but one that stood out was that many girls were taking time off school every month through a lack of access to menstrual pads.
We looked into what the girls were using when menstruating and found that whilst some used anything from rags to leaves most used fabric torn from an old 'chitenge'. (See Traditional Methods). This fabric was often dislodged or leaked so, to save embarrassment and ridicule, girls will stay at home from school. For those rare few who do attend school insecurity makes them reluctant to stand up in class to answer questions and they live in dread of being asked to come to the front of the class. Many of the male teachers we spoke to were unaware of the girls' predicament.
In 2013 we started giving away lots of different designs of pads to local women and girls of various ages and backgrounds. Some were school girls, some were office workers, others were mothers of many, and a few were female scouts spending time in the bush searching for poachers. By taking care to listen to their comments during the trial we designed a pad that was comfortable and safe to use . . . and then we held more trials to check we'd got it right.
We also listened to traditional cultural beliefs and taboos and discovered that all women and girls are united in the need to be discreet when it comes to washing and drying their traditional menstrual cloths and this belief is no different when it comes to menstrual pads.
Without exception women and girls would try to dry their pads indoors and out of sight with many putting them under their bed. But pads dried this way can often take a long time to dry, increasing the chance of bacteria developing, resulting in an unpleasant smell or even an infection.
Early in 2015 several local women were taught simple sewing techniques and shortly afterwards started producing pads. Designs were reworked and refined and eventually we produced pads for sale. We also worked on the problem of drying pads and came up with a great solution - our exclusive 'secret washing line'.
All our female staff use Ufulu pads meaning that we have constant feedback on how well the pads are performing. So far there's been no complaints, but with leaps and bounds being made in the technical fabric industry we like to try new ideas as well as look at different designs for different purposes. One thing that is consistent is our quality of fabric and sewing standards.

If you're looking for camper trailers for sale, you'll have no shortage different types to choose from. Even if you've decided what type of model you want to buy, there are still quite a few things to keep in mind.
Should I Choose Hard or Soft Floor Camper Trailers?
If you've been looking at camper trailers for sale and have decided to buy one, you're going to be faced with an important decision - whether to buy a hard or soft floor camper trailer.
When searching for off road caravans, there are various factors and considerations you should include in your search. Many different aspects can contribute to a successful purchase, but more importantly, there are aspects that can result in an unhappy purchase.
The most important part of caring for your trailers starts before you even setup. Having a departure checklist in your head such as the one I use below can save hundreds of dollars in lost or damaged items. It's a simple, no cost tip that everybody should use.
It's funny to think that everybody knows a dog is man's best friend, but when you want to take your best mate camping, it's not very easy to find places where your dog will be accepted.
Camping will never be camping without building a fire. Even if you own one of our awesome camping trailers, you will still need to build a fire for the evening affairs.

Here, at our online community, you will discover the many ways in which St. Charles Catholic High School is unique among secondary schools in the River Parishes.
We are excited and thank you for taking the first step in learning about our spiritual life, academic institution, sporting successes, and our committed faculty and staff. With only a few clicks you can witness firsthand why and how St. Charles Catholic High School continues to progress as the spiritual and academic leader of the River Parishes.
In 1948, our school was formed in Destrehan, Louisiana, and in 1978 moved to its current location in LaPlace. While many things have changed, the standard of excellence in education continues to grow as we move forward with technological advancements and the utilization of innovative teaching methods. Our students participate in a one-to-one iPad program, utilize wireless technology in the classrooms, and incorporate best learning practices into homework assignments and projects.
Spiritually, our students participate in such activities as World Youth Day, the March for Life in Washington D.C., as well as class retreats at the beginning of each school year. A dedicated team of senior students serves as a "Peer Ministry Team" to the feeder schools in the River Parishes conducting spiritual retreats for those students in grades 5 through 8. Our students also participate in service opportunities within the community including Relay for Life, vacation bible school, and our Thanksgiving meal program by which we, as a school, deliver hundreds of meals to needy families on Thanksgiving Day.
I would like to extend an open invitation for you to visit our campus at any time to be witness to the great things that are happening within our classrooms, on our sporting fields, and in our greater St. Charles community. Our patron saint, St. Charles Borromeo, served as a proponent of education, and as such, is fitting for our school. Through his intercession we will continue to be successful.
Thank you again for your interest in St. Charles Catholic High School! Please check back often for Comet news and successes. May God bless you!
Courtney P. Millet, Ph.D.

This was where Eliza grew up, and where we got married, too -- so to say it is a special spot for us is certainly an understatement. Vermont's green mountains are one of its biggest draws, and on top of that, the food and beer are unparalleled. The idea of farm to table eating seems like it started in Vermont -- having grown up on a small dairy farm, it seems like the obvious, and perhaps only way to eat. The beer is made with such pure water and ingredients that it can make a fan out of even those who don't exactly love beer (ahem, Eliza...). Of the four seasons in Vermont, we can think of reasons to visit during all, but summer, fall, and winter are for sure the most popular times for visitors, especially those looking to get outside. This is truly our home away from home and can only highly recommend a visit.


Bodycam footage of an incident in April showed a Chicago police sergeant shooting a suspect and rescuing a hostage.
Chicago, IL – Chicago's Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) has released bodycam footage of a hostage situation in April that ended with police shooting and wounding the suspect (video below).
The incident occurred at about 6:20 p.m. on April 11 when Malvais dragged the woman into a bathroom in the basement of her home on West Washington Boulevard, and held her hostage at gunpoint, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The bodycam video began with an officer talking to Malvais from an upper level of the home, trying to de-escalate the situation. There is no video initially.
"Just let her go. You're making it hard," the officer told the suspect.
"We got a hostage downstairs. Sarge, he's got a gun. He's got a hostage," the officer explained to his official a second later.
"Let her go," another officer yelled at Malvais in the video.
"C'mon I can make it easy for you… it ain't worth it man, I'm telling you. Come on man, please… just let me see the weapon man – make it easy. This ain't the way to go man," the first officer continued trying to talk Malvais down, but then a gunshot can be heard on the video.
"Shots fired, shots fired!" he yelled, as several officers begin making their way downstairs into the basement, where the video showed the victim had begun screaming.
Then the video showed Chicago Police Sergeant Joseph Menoni standing in the threshold of the bathroom, pointing his weapon.
The arrest report said that was when the sergeant saw the victim on the bathroom floor, and Malvais crouched in a bathtub, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Sgt. Menoni said he saw Malvais raise his arm and point his pistol at him so he shot him, according to the arrest report.
Four gunshots can be heard in the video as the officer made his way inside the bathroom, where Malvais was holding his terrified and screaming hostage.
Several officers crowded into the bathroom after Sgt. Menoni, and assisted him in arresting the suspect as he moaned in pain.
In the meantime, the hostage was able to escape from the basement to the safety in the midst of the chaos of police trying to drag the suspect out of the bathtub and arrest him, WBBM reported.
Malvais was arrested and transported to a local hospital for treatment, the Chicago Tribune reported.
He was charged with multiple felonies that included attempted murder, aggravated battery, home invasion, aggravated kidnapping, armed robbery, and unlawful use of a weapon, according to Cook County court records.
Malvais pleaded not guilty to the charges, and was being held without bail in the Cook County Jail, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Kudos to all the officers involved.
The nerves and courage of LEOs who walk into situations like this!
If I was that hostage I would be be sending those RESCUERS on a cruise, a seat at my dinner table for life....LEOs you are always in my prayers. Thank you for what you do.

First time for timeless Captives
Some theatrical themes are timeless. Heroics, intrigue and the search for love and money are returned to again and again in movies and plays. For whatever reason, stories that explore these basic emotions and experiences continue to ring true for audiences.
The Captives, written by nineteenth century author and playwright Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, is such a story. Bulwer-Lytton lived during the Victorian period, when the frenetic pace of the new mechanical age created nostalgia for simpler classical times. The playwright adapted the Roman comedy by Plautus to the Victorian stage, and put a new spin on the archetypal roles of hero, heroine and villain.
The Captives has never been played, and was recently rediscovered in a British archive by University of Calgary professor Dr. Barry Yzereef who decided to put on a production.
Cast member Katherine Pakarnyk believes audiences today can identify with the characters of The Captives.
"These themes are timeless because the root emotions stay the same. They draw the audience in," said Pakarnyk, a fourth-year Drama major, who plays the innocent heroine Alcetis. Despite Alcetis' stereotypical role as an innocent beauty, Pakarnyk describes the character as a strong woman who stands up for herself.
Graduate student Donovan King plays the evil Sisyphon. Sisyphon attempts to outwit Alcetis' good-natured uncle, and take his fortune and daughter. King enjoys the challenge of playing such a colourful character.
"Sisyphon is melodramatic, and very indulgent. He loves food and money," said King. "Villians are fun to play. I'd rather play this role than the young romantic character."
The U of C cast is also invited to perform at the Bulwer-Lytton 2000 Conference in Hertfordshire, England, the playwright's ancestral home. This is the first time the U of C Drama department will be involved in an international project, and both King and Pakarnyk feel it will give positive exposure and experience to the department.
"Some universities do exchanges like this on a regular basis," said King. "It's good for establishing contacts, and for exposure to other cultures. It will widen horizons for the future."
Pakarnyk hopes audience members will allow themselves to be "taken away on the journey" of the story. She cited a good dynamic between the members of the production as the reason she thinks it will be successful.
"This play has been lots of fun for the cast; the process was enjoyable. I hope the end result will be too."
Before the July performance in the U.K., the production will play at the Reeve Theatre from May 25-27.

Dustin Lance Black (pictured), the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk, has teamed up with Coca-Cola to create a series of short films about anti-bullying.
The campaign starts with the film, available to see on Coca Cola's YouTube channel, entitled "El SMS (The Text)." The film, which is roughly eight minutes long, tells the story of two best friends and how one accepts the other when he finds out his friend is gay.
"For Coca-Cola to take a pro-diversity, pro-equality stance creates a lot of goodwill in the LGBT community," Black said to Adweek."It's heartwarming for the LGBT community to see that a global brand would embrace this community because, let's be honest, there are places in the world that know about Coca-Cola where it is still a death sentence to be gay."

Choosing which method of transport to travel to and from work can be difficult in a country where the weather is notoriously unpredictable. The only thing worse than being stuck in traffic on a blazing hot summer's day is cycling through the wind and rain during a blustery autumn morning. So why cycle to work?
When developing fitness and conditioning programs for both athletes and everyday recreational exercisers, traditional training protocols have often focused upon splitting the body into distinct 'parts' and exercising muscle groups separately and independently of each other in order to achieve results. Yet as our knowledge of the human body has continued to evolve, a much newer way of thinking looks at addressing the body as a whole, training the body for better movement and mobility - thereby ensuring a stronger and more resilient body.

Anyone involved in soccer knows that flexibility is one of the primary components of fitness. We all know you should stretch before and after practices and games. But old methods still might permeate so it is time to move forward. Ten years from now there will be a whole new set of new understandings and training methodologies to work from. That being said, many principles seem to have staying power.
How does stretching affect an athlete's performance?
Stretching has been thought to prevent injury and improve athletic performance. Unfortunately, what most people do not know is that isolated stretching immediately before exercise may impair a person's strength and power and has no effect on injury prevention.
Interval Training - HIIT or Miss?
The Work to Rest method uses a set time interval for the work period and a set time interval for the rest period. Ratios are determined, and the athlete or client rests for one, two or three times the length of the work interval before repeating the next bout.
From past experience, I have noticed extremely better fitness results from learning to love what it is that you do. For some people, this could mean simple written/routine free-weight exercises, starting with chest and ending the week with arms. For others, it is about hopping on that bike and/or treadmill and running 5 miles a day. So how can you get fit and enjoy the experience?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- What's the greatest comeback by this year's Boston Celtics, who won their first championship in 22 years with their victory Tuesday in Game 6 of the NBA Finals?
It's not overcoming a 24-point deficit in Game 4 last Thursday night. It's not even the turnaround from a team that won only 24 games last season to this year's NBA-best 66 game winner.
None of this would have been possible without a change in the team's ownership a few years ago.
In many ways, the team's low point wasn't last year's miserable season but the 2000-01 season. Nearly one in five seats at Celtics games were empty. Boston fans and the Gaston family, the team's long-time owners, both appeared to be losing interest in the Celtics.
But a year later, the team was sold to a group of investors led by Wycliffe Grousbeck for $360 million. And the team's on-the-court success this year is all about some of the smart moves made by the new owners.
I recently talked to Rick Gotham, the Celtics president, about how he got the team back on track. He said investing in marketing, rather than just expecting fans to come to games out of loyalty, was key.
"The onus is on the business people to go out and get people into the building," he said.
And the marketing efforts worked even before the team started winning again. The Celtics won only 33 games in the 2005-2006 season but attendance increased nearly 6% from the prior season. Last year, despite the team's woes, attendance was essentially unchanged.
This year, not surprisingly, all of its games were sold out.
Trying to build the fan base may not get the attention on the sports pages that player and coaching decisions do. But it is clearly just as important.
"We spent a lot of time analyzing who is buying our tickets and why and that has paid us back," Gotham said.
He added that without the strong ticket sales during the losing seasons, the Celtics would not have been in the financial position to add big-dollar players Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Both were instrumental in helping get the Celtics to their championship this year.
"You don't see many 24-win teams able to go out and spend on players the way we did this past summer. That's because we've been able to run a strong business in the face of some not great seasons," he said.
The Celtics had added pressure to keep fans happy since other Boston teams were busy winning championships. So from a business standpoint, the Celtics compete more against the Red Sox and Patriots than other NBA teams.
"If your team is not winning at that level, it definitely creates some competitive pressure," he said about Pats and the Sox. "You have to give [fans] a good reason to come and see you."
Of course, the Celtics remarkable turnaround may be more of the exception than the rule in a sport with salary caps.
But the Celtics' success is a great example of what can happen when management treats the fans as customers that need to be satisfied and not as a captive audience that will be there no matter what.
It also shows that when franchises respond to losing seasons by investing in the team, rather than slashing payroll, they are more likely to profit down the road.
"Winning is without a doubt the best marketing we can get," Gotham said.

The 2008 Parramatta Eels season was the 62nd in the club's history. Coached by Michael Hagan and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the National Rugby League's 2008 Telstra Premiership.

Summary
After being billed at premiership contenders by several prominent betting agencies, including TAB SportsBet, the Parramatta Eels failed to impress in the 2008, a season that could only be described as a huge disappointment. The Eels finished 11th in an inconsistent season marred by Jarryd Hayne's controversial shooting incident in the pre-season. Despite the poor performance by Parramatta, CEO Denis Fitzgerald stressed that Michael Hagan's position as club coach was not in danger. Michael Hagan resigned as coach on 21 October 2008, citing family and health reasons for his decision.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
In today's podcast we look at a few public company announcements.
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Acreage Holdings, Inc. (CSE: ACRG.U) (OTCQX: ACRGF) today announced they have entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the arrangement agreement dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, between Canopy Growth and Acreage.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Acreage pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act, contingent upon the occurrence of changes in U.S. federal law to permit the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions to closing as set out in the Arrangement Agreement.
Acreage and Canopy Growth entered into the New Agreement to better align the terms of the Plan of Arrangement with broader market and economic factors, provide Acreage shareholders with an initial up-front payment in connection with the modification of Canopy Growth's rights, including the extension of the term, and give Acreage shareholders the ability to participate in upside potential upon the Triggering Event.
KEY TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS:
Provides Up-Front Cash Payment. Canopy Growth will pay Acreage shareholders and certain convertible security holders an aggregate of US$37,500,000 (approximately US$0.30 per Existing Share (defined below) on an as converted basis, with the final amount to be received by each holder determined based on the number of Existing Shares into which all of the eligible securities are convertible at the close of business on the record date for the distribution).
Attractive Valuation Premium. Acreage shareholders' new Fixed Shares (defined below), each of which represents 70% of an Existing Share, will be entitled to receive 0.3048 of a Canopy Growth Share (defined below) for each Fixed Share held, representing a premium of approximately 120% to the June 24, 2020 closing price of the Existing Shares (defined below) on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").
Provides Potential Upside with Floating Shares. Acreage shareholders will be entitled to participate in the long-term value created by Acreage, and in the U.S. cannabis industry generally, as a result of the Floating Shares (defined below) which Canopy Growth may acquire in the future upon the occurrence or waiver of the Triggering Event at a price based upon the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price of the Floating Shares on the CSE relative to the trading price of the Canopy Growth Shares on the NYSE at that time, subject to a minimum of US$6.41 per Floating Share.
Alignment with Economic and Financial Market Conditions. Considering the challenging economic environment and increasingly tighter and volatile financial market conditions, particularly for cannabis companies, Acreage determined that the New Arrangement represents the best available prospect that is compliant with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to maximize potential value for Acreage shareholders.
"The United States is going to be a core market for Canopy Growth and this New Agreement solidifies our path forward with Acreage," said David Klein, Chief Executive Officer of Canopy Growth. "I am excited to bring our relationship with Acreage back to centre stage in our U.S. strategy and look forward to a time when the laws in the United States permit us to finalize this transaction as we march toward bringing our exciting beverage products to the US."
Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQX: KHRNF) announced that it has entered into an agreement with Nimbus Health, a leading German distributor of medical cannabis products. Khiron branded EU GMP medical cannabis will soon be available in Germany for prescription by doctors and dispensation in pharmacies.
Tejinder Virk, President of Khiron Europe, commented: "This is a major milestone for our company. Following our recent entry into the United Kingdom, the expansion into Germany will greatly benefit patients who still suffer from inconsistent supply. Khiron is now well positioned to service this rapidly expanding market in Germany."
The supply of EU GMP medical cannabis to Germany will be fully supported by the Company's global medical education team, led by Dr. Maria Fernanda Arboleda, Khiron's International Director for Medical Services. Dr. Arboleda is an Anesthesiologist, Pain and Palliative Care Physician. She completed a Spine-Regional Anesthesia Fellowship at the McGill University Health Center and a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Supportive Cancer Care and Medical Cannabis, at the Department of Oncology, McGill University, and at Sante Cannabis, a leading specialized cannabis clinic in Canada.
Franziska Katterbach, Managing Director & Chief Legal Officer for Khiron Europe based in Frankfurt, commented: "Germany continues to be the European leader in medical cannabis, with other countries observing and adapting to the German regulatory model. The market is also differentiated with its large proportion of patient prescriptions fully reimbursed through insurance."
One World Pharma Inc. (OTC: OWPC), a U.S. based, fully licensed, pure-play hemp and cannabis ingredient producer in Colombia, announced that the Company has commenced the selling of its characterized and registered seeds in Colombia.
One World Pharma has executed seed purchase agreements with three different Colombian growers and has begun shipments of seeds already. The agreements represent sales to entities growing both outdoor and in controlled environments.
One World Pharma previously announced that the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) has approved the results of the seed characterization tests conducted by OWP of three non-psychoactive genetics in two sub-regions of the country. The approval established OWP as one of the few legal sellers of characterized hemp/CBD seeds for the Cauca and the Andina regions of Colombia, inclusive of greater Bogota and its surroundings. Additionally,
One World Pharma is now allowed to sell its seeds in international markets.
"While just the beginning of our entry into the revenue phase for One World Pharma, these agreements are a significant benchmark in the execution of our business plan," stated Isiah Thomas, CEO and Vice-Chairman of One World Pharma. "Our first seed sale transactions affirm our trusted, licensed position in the Colombian marketplace and pave the way for future agreements and revenue."
"We are intent on leveraging our position and quickly moving forward to continue our growth and expansion," added Thomas. "The scale of our production and the expansion of our ingredient portfolio for commercial sale are also accelerating."
WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V:WMD) (OTCQX:WDDMF) reported record preliminary unaudited revenues of $12 million(1) for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The Company will report record sales growth representing the first full quarter of integration with Starseed Holdings Inc. ("Starseed") following its acquisition in December 2019.
WeedMD will file its first quarter 2020 financial results after market on Tuesday July 14, 2020 and host a conference call with management the following day.
"Driven by Color Cannabis brand recognition, customer acquisition initiatives and a substantial sale of our outdoor-cultivated biomass, our first quarter 2020 net revenues of $12 million represents record-high sales from all channels – an increase of 325% quarter-over-quarter," said Angelo Tsebelis, CEO, WeedMD. "With the benefits of our fully-integrated business model, scaled-up cultivation and production capabilities combined with our strong distribution channels, WeedMD is uniquely positioned for continued growth and a clear path to profitability. We are looking forward to sharing more during our conference call in July."
The Company will host a conference call with management on Wednesday July 15, 2020 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results.
The call will be hosted by Angelo Tsebelis, CEO and Lincoln Greenidge, CFO. Management will be available for analyst and media questions following opening remarks.
GrowLife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT), one of the nation's most recognized indoor cultivation product and service providers, today released the following letter from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Marco Hegyi.
Dear Shareholders,
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss some pertinent updates on what we are seeing in the market as well as our perception of the rapidly expanding demand for consumer CBD products. As we previously announced, GrowLife has been fully operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in order to serve our customers across the country with our leading line of hemp clones and commercial cloning products. The spring season is a very important time for hemp farmers and with cloning becoming more of the standard in CBD-rich hemp cultivation, it was imperative that we meet the demand for our products without delay. I am happy to report that our operations have continued to support the expanding demand for our products.
I am also pleased to share that demand for both cannabis and CBD products remains extremely high. While a delay in FDA approval for CBD and other cannabinoid-based consumer packaged goods has stalled further mainstream adoption, the demand for CBD products as 'dietary supplements' is higher than ever. On the legal Cannabis industry side, which was recently deemed an essential business, demand is still strong and the price per pound has stabilized if not increased, as in Colorado where it is over $1,000. As a result, demand for EZ-CLONE systems across the country remains higher than ever, especially this quarter. We are so excited by these trends and without getting into the specifics, I can share that I remain greatly confident in GrowLife and the EZ-CLONE business, especially in the areas of sales and operations.
On a more technical note, I wanted to address the on-going fluctuations and pressure we are experiencing in the market. As most people know, the market continues to see unprecedented swings and volatility. These market conditions, paired with some unexpected selling, has caused us to see a slide in the valuation of the company. While this is disappointing, the fundamentals of the company remain strong. We believe the market is undervaluing the Company based on its sales performance and we are well positioned to continue to capitalize on the expanding CBD-rich hemp market through our cloning equipment and proprietary hemp clone businesses. In spite of the COVID-19 situation, we have taken the necessary precautions as an essential business serving the demand of the industry, and continue to operate in a healthy manner with all our employees making solid contributions. I am prouder than ever in our team, suppliers and customers. I look forward to sharing the results of these efforts in our upcoming Q2 filings, which we expect to be filed on-time pending any further delays due to the pandemic.
We will continue to update you all as much as possible in the coming days and weeks. We appreciate our long-term shareholders, employees, and customers for their continued belief in our company. We hope everyone stays healthy and safe, and most importantly, positive through these historic times.
Marco Hegyi

Rosandra N. Kaplan, MD, investigator, Pediatric Oncology Branch, Head, Tumor Microenvironment Section, National Cancer Institute, discusses the treatment of pediatric patients with solid tumors.
Although osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma are rare malignancies in the general cancer community, they are common in pediatric patients. Solid tumors are especially hard to treat in pediatric patients, as they are aggressive, Kaplan says. Additionally, these tumors often metastasize and can be locally recurrent.
Current treatments for these solid tumors often fail, so investigators are developing new therapies, such as immunotherapy, which look promising, Kaplan says. Recently, a trial with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting the GD2 antigen—which is a receptor on osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma—was deemed safe, but not yet effective. Kaplan says that investigators are interested in creating a second-generation CAR T cell to better target GD2.


Remove the exterior trim and the old window from the wall of the house.
Measure the window opening to ensure that the new window will fit properly. It may be necessary to trim back a small portion of the siding to accommodate the aluminum flashing and nailing fins which are attached to the perimeter of the new window.
Using a building wrap, such as Tyvek, cover the edges of the window opening and any exposed wall sheathing, making sure to overlap the existing building wrap by several inches.
Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the window opening, making sure that the window's nailing flange and flashing will cover the caulk, creating a weather tight seal.
Lift the window into the opening, keeping in mind that it may require several people to lift the window and hold it in place until some temporary wood supports can be installed.
Make sure that the window is level and plumb, installing wood shims where necessary.
Nail the window into place using 2-inch roofing nails.
Once the window is secure, remove any temporary supports.
Cover the nailing flange with self adhesive flashing tape, starting with the bottom, then the sides, and finally the top. Overlap the corners, making sure that water will shed off the wall without penetrating the flashing tape.
Install the exterior trim pieces and caulk the seam between the window and the trim, and the trim and siding.
Installing the window correctly is necessary for a weather-tight fit. If you do not understand how to install garden windows, then hire a contractor to help with the project.

Q: Why does current flow direction matter in welding? In DC welding, there are two configurations - direct current electrode positive (DCEP) and direct current electrode negative (DCEN). When the electrode is negative, the current flows from electrode to the workpiece. When the electrode is positive, current flows from workpiece to electrode.
It is said that in DCEN, 1/3 of the arc heat is produced in the electrode, and 2/3 at the workpiece.
Why is there such a difference? Why does the current direction matter here? I would intuitively assume that current is current and the direction it flows through the arc does not matter.

A: The motion of the molten metal droplets is different with polarity.
If the wire is negative, with the target is positive, then when the droplet separates from the wire, it will have an excess of mobile electrons. Immediately the electrons will move toward the positive target but still on the droplet. This forms a dipole. The negative end toward the positive target, and the positive end toward the negative wire, so there is an attractive force to both the target and the wire. The target wins because the droplet has a net negative charge.
If the wire is positive and the target is negative, the mobile electrons are almost completely removed from the wire. When the droplet separates from the wire it contains no (few?) mobile electrons so the dipole cannot form. The droplet is net positive for both the wire and the target, so it is pushed by the wire and pulled by the target. This polarity has more force propelling the droplet.
Which is better depends on the application. I suspect that for overhead welding the positive wire would better counteract gravity.
There are sevearal welding techniques. This answer may not apply to all. (Short circuit welding for example).

Tears of joy at Hinchingbrooke as nearly all students passed their GCSEs
Published: 12:29 PM August 23, 2012
NEARLY all Hinchingbrooke School students have got at least five passes in this year's GCSE results.
Almost 99 per cent gained A*-G grades, up from 97 per cent last year.
There was a drop in students gaining five A*-C grades at 73 per cent, down from 76 per cent last year.
Ceri Allwright, Sophie Hodgson, Ross Salisbury, Gemma Talbot and Saffron Usher all gained eight or more A* grades. Miss Allwright didn't drop a mark in any of her three science courses.
Miss Usher got the highest point score, based on all her GCSE results, with 807 - nearly double the school average - with 14 GCSE or equivalent exams.
Fourteen-year-olds Angel Howarth and Greg Goodwin received their first GCSE results, with an A* and an A in media studies respectively.
Greg said: "It was really good to get them as I was really nervous. It's all good practice for next year when we have more exams.
Despite the successes the school posted English results that were eight per cent down on last year and maths results were down by 10 per cent.
Charlotte Gaskin, 16 achieved two As, three Bs and three Cs with a merit in ICT which earned her a place in the Sixth Form.
She said that she was just "emotional, very emotional."
Twins Beth and Josh Lloyd-Braiden, 15, both received brilliant results with Beth achieving five As, one B, one C and three Ds. Josh gained six A*s, four As and 5 Bs.
Beth said: "I'm really pleased, I'm able to go on to Sixth Form now," while Josh was "unbelievably ecstatic" with his results.
Kaitlyn Maher said she didn't expect to receive six A*s and five As and will study maths, chemistry and biology when she goes on to Year 12.
Her parents Karen and Kevin, who watched Kaitlyn open her envelope, said they were "delighted and relieved with her results".
Happy Molly Holohan received eight Bs, one C and one A, and told The Hunts Post: "It's over and done with. I'm happy to move on".
Talia Bleakley was pleased with her seven Cs, one B, one D and one A.
Year 10 student, Tom Carter achieved an impressive two A*s and three As in his module results. He said: "I couldn't sleep last night and I have been bracing myself for this day for weeks. I'm just so happy."
Zoe Newman, 16, got all Cs and above which allowed her to get into Hinchingbrooke Sixth Form.
Some students won't be picking up their results today, including Miss Hodgson, instead they are in Malawi building classrooms and houses to improve the educational environment of students in the African country.
Acting headteacher Di Beddow confirmed the school was querying 40 of its students results in Maths after the revelations that exams were marked down backed by the Government.
She said: "It's particularly disappointing if there are some political games going on and where we were having students who were getting Bs throughout then got a U to take their mark down.
"The students, and teachers, have worked their socks off over the past five years we were expecting some great grades in these areas but we are disappointed with the way this has been handled."


In India, it's very easy to thrive on a vegetarian diet. In India where milk is considered sacred , It's really challenging to be on a vegan diet. People think you are weird if you tell them that you don't consume milk and milk products.
Thanks to Peta. Peta is showing people the torture cows endure to produce milk. During my recent visit to India, I did not come across even a single vegan. But, I did see some youngsters thriving on a vegan diet in India when I visited Peta's website Petadishoom . Visit PetaDishoom if you plan to visit India to know more about vegan food items.
Thank you for visiting and leaving lovely comment. Keep visiting. You can find mostly vegan recipes..

by Cathy Boyd Byrd | posted in: Calling, CBByrd Testimony | 0
On March 26, 2012 I wrote about being asked to serve on the board of a local ministry and the surprise I felt in seeing my name in the minutes, being referred to as "Reverend Cathy Byrd" for the first time. As a commissioned deacon, I am allowed, even encouraged by the Order of Deacons, to use that title, as the role of clergy is one that a provisional deacon pursuing ordination is expected to live into. In April 2014, in the midst of some career changes, my status and role as clergy was challenged by several people outside of the Methodist Church, then even by some within my own congregation who don't understand the Methodist process for clergy training and equipping and the role of a deacon. After discussions with pastors in my church and others, feeling the need to explain myself to people who should know my heart and reasons for using a clergy title, I wrote the following explanation.
Several people have asked me and others at Lynn Haven UMC about my use of the title "reverend". Here is an explanation regarding my professional use of this title and its reflection of a particular calling and purpose on my life.
We all know that words mean something. However, there may be those who do not understand the meaning of "reverend" in the same way that those who have been called to a vocation in ministry do. Frankly, too, there has been recently an effort to challenge the pastoral authority that the UMC has given me by some who deny the validity of women in ministry or desire to call into question the ministry to which I am called. At one point, it required a letter from our UMC District Superintendent Gary Daniels to some who denied my call to and authority for ministry. It is not uncommon for women in ministry to encounter resistance to their vocation in ministry and usually by those who come from a theological posture that is different from that of the United Methodist Church which has sanctioned women in ministry since John Wesley granted the first license to preach to Sarah Crosby in 1761 .
When I made the decision to return to graduate school for counseling and psychology, after working in lay counseling for 10 years, first as a facilitator of a women's depression impact group from 1998 to 2004, then as a trained Celebrate Recovery leader beginning in 2004, I knew that I was called to the ministry of spiritual and emotional healing. It appears that the tremendous growth in programs and practitioners in the field of Christian counseling in the last twenty years reflects the church's understanding of the need to reclaim its historic role in healing ministry. I told Dr. George Horvat, my graduate school advisor, that I did not want to pursue state licensure as a licensed mental health counselor because of the constraint that such licensure places upon one to refrain from intentional, proactive evangelism and use of Scripture and faith principles to do directive counseling from a Biblical perspective. He, also a Christian, said that the Lord would guide me into my role and credentials as a counselor and that I should follow that guidance.
The time and education required to me to qualify to counsel from a state licensed perspective or from a religious ordained perspective in the Methodist Church are similar:
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Christian Counselor in the Methodist Church
60 graduate semester hours in counseling/psychology
1000 hours internship included in academic work
100 hours practicum included in academic work
30 graduate semester hours in theological studies at an accredited seminary
Commissioned/licensed as deacon in counseling/education
2 years residency under supervision
2-3 years or longer in residency under supervision
State license as licensed mental health counselor
Ordination to Order of Deacons-counseling and education
Additionally, I have paraprofessional certification in Christian Education through a UMC program with Columbia College, recognized by the Alabama-West Florida Conference to which I belong.
As I looked at the time, academic hours, and supervision requirements, the two routes were similar in demands, but the equipping through the second route to counseling credentials, through the Church instead of through the Florida State Board of Licensure, more closely matched what I believed expressed my calling by the Lord. I have been in the ministry candidacy program for deacon ordination since September 2008, fulfilling the requirements of the United Methodist Church's Discipline in pursuit of the privilege of counseling under its authority in the name of Jesus Christ.
Use of the title "reverend" is simply an acknowledgement of that calling and my submission to the Church's requirements for the privilege to do what I've been called to do under its authority. Using it before my name is no different than using "LMHC", Licensed Mental Health Counselor, as a suffix after one's name, indicating my vocational equipping. Some appear to have interpreted it as prideful exalting of myself to a position to which I am not entitled. My choice to refer to myself professionally demonstrates my compliance with the Church's requirements for Christian counseling education and training, according to the Discipline.
"Reverend" shows that I chose a Christian vocational route instead of a State secular route. MS shows that my equipping is in the field of psychology instead of with a Masters in Divinity (MDIV) and the CRSS shows that I am under a lesser credential to the State Board of Certification (instead of the Board of Licensure) as a Certified Recovery Support Specialist, a step below Certified Addictions Counselor or Certified Addictions Professional. That certification was achieved by having the required academic hours in counseling and completing 2000 hours in training under supervision in a qualified addictions care facility, which I completed in 2008 with the 14th Judicial Circuit DUI School. While lay people won't necessarily know what has gone into this designation or what the various components mean, it accurately expresses what I have been called to do and what the Church will permit me to do under its authority and with accountability to the Church. Addictions professionals and other authorities who work among our clients will recognize the designations.
As a provisional Deacon now in the final stages of candidacy before ordination, which is a lifelong designation conferred by the Church, I am advised by the Order of Deacons to "live into my calling" and begin operating within the activities of the role that will define the rest of my life. Use of the title "reverend" is part of that orientation of my life and states how I intend to operate professionally as a counselor. I am happy to try to help others understand this process and role. This is an effort to help educate people about the Deacon role within the United Methodist Church to which I am called. This is part of my job, as much as my service to my own church's staff and congregation and to the community.
In addition to this issue of the authority granted by the Church, there are several other reasons why my use of the pastoral designation is significant. I am often required to operate in an advocacy role for women or their children with the judicial system, civil authorities, juvenile protection service personnel, healthcare facilities, and other authorities. The sensitive nature of the information that is sometimes involved requires that my credentials be clear, my understanding of my ethical and legal responsibilities be well defined, and that my clients' confidentiality be protected. Pastoral standing provides my clients state and federal protection against disclosure of pastor-client confidential information and enables me to operate professionally in certain court-ordered roles, such as probationary supervision and supervised parental visitation with children under the care of the Department of Children and Families.
Also, with my missional calling among people who have often demonstrated a lack of respect for civil and moral law, personal property rights, and their own or other's boundaries, it is generally observed that, because of at least some fear of God or early life training, they will respect the mantle of spiritual authority that they observe in one who has a calling by God on her life. Because of my use of "reverend" and their knowledge that I operate in my role as a counselor under God's authority, they will often grant me the authority and permission to serve them or their family. My motives are less suspect and my ability to express spiritual authority when necessary is respected. When "reverend" is present, prayers are sought, counsel of the Word is received, and hope is fostered. It is a blessing to represent Christ to some who have felt unworthy of His attention and love. My title is not honorary or for my benefit; it is entirely for the benefit of those whom I desire to comfort and serve, signaling to them in no uncertain terms why I am there and in whose name I serve.
I hope these thoughts about my title and what it means to me, to our United Methodist church, and to those whom I serve will help others better understand my role as clergy. I trust that these reasons for the use of the "honorific" title will be received not as self-serving and prideful, but will be understood in the context of how I understand God's calling on my life to a specific purpose and to a specific people. It is not, primarily to those who understand "reverend" in a particular traditional way that confers honor to those who wear it, but it is for the benefit of those who are in desperate need of the care and comfort that the title defines and which I am called to bring to a hurting world.
I trust that this perspective will help provide understanding of my credentials as a provisional deacon.
Reverend Cathy Byrd, MS CRSS
Christian Recovery Counselor and Educator
Now, just this past week, I was checking out with a purchase at a local department store. I needed the clerk to check on something and call me later. To make things easy, I gave her a business card for Titus 2 Partnership, Inc. ministry with my name, "Rev. Cathy Byrd, MS CRSS". She instantly warmed to me and began to talk to me about her daughter, for whom she sought prayer. The daughter is 21 years old and has struggled with depression since early in her teen years. We talked for a while and she said she wanted to call me to talk further. This is a case, where just the individual knowing that I am clergy changed my role in her life……from customer requesting assistance to someone able to offer her encouragement and hope.
I have been told by some elders in the UMC that I don't need ordination to do what I do. Perhaps not. I certainly can continue to do what the Lord has called and equipped me to do without the official sanction of the church. But it is my position that the UM Church needs to have me and others like me who are called to the ministry of spiritual education/formation and emotional healing through counseling and teaching, ordained to the Order of Deacons or to the Order of Elders, to minister to hurting people in this world, to connect them to Jesus Christ and the fellowship and ministry of the church. The deacon's role is defined by "connecting the church to the world and the world to the church." That has been my passion for years. And even my passion has been questioned by some within the church who don't understand what I do and why.
Jesus told us that following him would subject us to persecution and ridicule. I expected that and have encountered it at times. However, it was not expected to arise from within my own church, my own congregation, or my own workplace where people were thought to be desiring to bring others to a saving knowledge of Christ. I thought we were all working toward the same goals.
I have mostly dropped the use of the title "Reverend" in correspondence and elsewhere, as I do not wish to be perceived, as some have suggested, of using it out of pompous pridefulness or in order to present myself as something I am not, even though it is quite legitimate for my ministry status and role. Having had those business cards made at a time when this was not yet such an issue, I simply kept them and have been using them occasionally when a business card seemed necessary. And this incident this week at the department store confirms what I had said in April when I was called in and asked why I was using this clergy designation title. People relate differently to someone whom they perceive as having the mantle of spiritual authority. And though my authority is essentially nonexistent among people within the Methodist church or in society at large, it is there, nonetheless, by virtue of God's calling on my life, with certain people in the world ….. those whom God brings into my life for the purpose of having me minister to them and they respond to my identified role as clergy with relief, hope, and expectation that I will bring Christ's Word to bear on their circumstances. And I try to do that.

Benzyne is an example of the group aryne, which consist of a triple bond.
It is a high-energy intermediate formed during the elimination-addition reaction that occurs between chlorobenzene and either NaOH (at high temperature) or NaNH2.
Because of the triple bond, the sp2 hybrid orbitals are extremely weak, making benzyne highly reactive. This means that the sp2 orbitals along with the other p orbitals overlap poorly. Moreover, because the triple bond consist of a region that is electron dense, benzyne only lasts as an intermediate in most reactions. The mechanism in which benzyne partakes in is typically elimination-addition reactions. Elimination results in the intermediate compound (benzyne), while addition results in a newly formed compound.
Remember that the triple bond is poorly overlapped at the orbital level, and thus is highly reactive. Almost all reactions with this intermediate will occur at the triple bond.

The Netherlands is quite famous its typography and design. Travelling around the country, one will notice how it seems every aspect of life has been controlled and manipulated in some way. My theory is this stems from the basic foundation of the country – how the land is literally man made and reclaimed from the sea. Little is left in its natural or default state giving the place a very special quality.
On my last trip to Den Haag, during the Robothon conference, I was struck by this "ultra designed" feeling everywhere. Avidly enjoying photography, one of my new hobbies is collecting images of house numbers. Den Haag is the 3rd major city in my collection (the first to be posted here, others will follow) and it is incredible. There is such a wide variety of numbers and styles, almost every house or building is unique.
Sit back, enjoy, and get inspired by these Dutch numbers!


MILWAUKEE — After Jonathan Schoop hit a fly ball to left field to end the top of the 10th inning of the Orioles' 7-6 victory Monday, he came back into the dugout and was angry.
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy, part amused and part flabbergasted by what the 22-year-old rookie was thinking, asked Schoop what was going on.
One of the reasons the Orioles like the young second baseman is his competitiveness. They also love how seriously he takes his job, despite spending just three months of his career in the majors.
So Hardy just shook his head at how Schoop could hit two homers in two at-bats to help spur the Orioles' comeback Monday and then be upset that he didn't do it again in his next plate appearance.
Schoop entered Monday with three homers in 144 at-bats and a paltry .215 batting average. His three hits — two solo homers and a single — pushed his average to .228 for the season.
It was the first multihomer game of his career.
Schoop had struggled at the plate recently, not hitting a home run since May 7, and at one point going 11 games without driving in a run. But Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Schoop's attitude — and his defense — has been tremendous.
When asked about his reaction to Hardy after the 10th inning at-bat, Schoop laughed.
