Supporting mothers means supporting the children born to them also”…. This is a common wisdom at LECDEN-KENYA, first promoted in 2007, when during a group therapy counseling session, a lady stood up and asked the Directors the saddest question ever to be discussed at a group therapy session -“what happens to our children when we can no longer get the benefits of treatment, as is the obvious with HIV infection?
A lot of advancements have occurred and this wisdom may no longer have a lot of justification, especially because of life-prolonging ARVs. The fact, however, remains that women still succumb to HIV infection in great numbers and more children are being orphaned. Kenya is now home to over 1.5- 2.0 million orphaned children, mostly due to HIV & AIDS complications. Many orphans face devastations of untold proportions, are neglected, abused and at times, have to take on adult roles at such tender age as 10 years, fending for themselves and for their younger siblings
Prevention among the youth in schools
LECDEN-KENYA recognizes the need to continually engage with the youth in and out of schools to strengthen their understanding of HIV & AIDS and to foster positive behaviour change. To this extent, LECDEN conducts several sensitizations in selected primary schools since the year 2005, and formed more 5 AIDS clubs in primary schools in Nairobi, Makueni, Siaya and Homabay . Our community educators also continue with supportive interactions with AIDS clubs that were formed earlier in Nairobi.
Besides the AIDS clubs, LECDEN-KENYA was able to train 5 orphans in skills of tailoring and on how to support behaviour change communication in schools. These interventions have been able to promote a culture of discussing HIV/ADS in schools and demystified HIV infection. Through the AIDS clubs, a great transformation in thinking, perception and understanding of the pupils, their teachers and their parents has occurred.

"Support is so vital when you are trying to make the transition from a victim to a survivor of domestic abuse. Having DVAC in place when I was fighting for my children and myself would have made such a difference," said Christi Adams (in photo), a survivor of domestic violence.

The photo shows the tools I used to hold a 2x4 against the ceiling of my garage. I was attaching 2x4s to the ceiling to make it easier to hang things and brace things (like free-standing shelves).
The picture was taken part-way through the process of pressing the board to the ceiling. I was acting alone. Based on something I saw in a magazine, and heavily influenced by my make-it-as-complicated-as-possible philosophy, the method I used was this:
1. Mark location on ceiling for the 2x4 ceiling board (hereafter referred to as "ceiling board").
2. Nail two small string cradles to the ceiling near the ends of the proposed position of the ceiling board. The ceiling board will hang temporarily in these cradles.
3. Insert one end of the ceiling board into one cradle, then the other end into the other cradle. Result: the ceiling board is hanging in the two cradles about two inches (5cm) below the ceiling.
4. Place two clamps within easy reach of each end of the ceiling board. They will be used later.
5. Grab two other boards: a pre-cut board that is almost as long as the floor-to-ceiling distance and a short board. These, clamped together, will act as temporary supports for the ceiling board. Stand on a stool under one end of the ceiling board, holding the two supports together vertically.
6. Keeping the supports pressed together, move the short board upward as far as possible, elevating the end of the ceiling board. Clamp the two supports together. RESULT: the very end of the ceiling board is pressed against the ceiling. The other end of the ceiling board is still lying in its cradle.
7. Repeat the raising process at the other end of the ceiling board. RESULT: this end of the ceiling board is now pressed against the ceiling, but the other end is still a bit loose.
8. Return to the first end of the ceiling board, loosen the clamps, repeat the raising process, and re-clamp the supports. RESULT: this end of the hanging board is tight enough against the ceiling to require no more raising.
9. Return (again) to the second end and repeat the raising process there. RESULT: the ceiling board is pressed tightly enough against the ceiling to allow drilling of pilot holes for the screws that will attach the ceiling board to the ceiling.
10. Drill holes, install screws, remove the hanging cradles and supports.
The process is tedious to say the least. But it worked: I attached four 2x4s to the ceiling in this manner. After this work was finished I realized I could have simplified this process by using my stepladders as bases for holding the 2x4s in place. One can buy devices called "third hands" (often used by carpenters and drywall installers) to hold things in place, but I am too cheap to shell out $50 for a tool that gets little use.
I am in a rare fit of industriousness in the garage. That's why I've been inactive on Flickr lately. The goal is to create a better working environment on my side of the garage and enough additional storage space that we can park my wife's Jeep in the garage again.
An increase in financial support for nursing and midwifery students with dependants to help parents and carers into the workforce has been announced by the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
An extra £3m is to be invested in supporting those with children or dependants, helping up to 1000 of our most in need students, while the Nursing and Midwifery bursary is to be protected.
The First Minister made the announcement during a visit to the School of Health and Social Care at Edinburgh Napier Univesity where she meet staff and nursing and midwifery students,
German Wehrmacht Officer uniform 1935 - 1945
In 1935 the Heer introduced a new service tunic for officers and senior NCOs. This was broadly similar to the other-ranks tunic, but differed in detail: the collar was of a taller, more pointed rise-and-fall type, the shoulders were padded, the sleeves had deep turnback cuffs, there was no internal suspension system or grommets for belt hooks, and there were two ramp-buttons at the back of the waist to support the belt.
Since officers had to purchase their own uniforms, many of these tunics were either tailor-made or produced by gentlemen's clothiers, and if purchased for service dress for the most part used high-quality wool gabardine (Trikot), doeskin or whipcord. For this reason the officers' Dienstrock did not undergo the cost-saving changes which affected the enlisted M36, and kept its green collar and scalloped, pleated pockets throughout the war. After the Army authorized wearing the collar open with a necktie in 1943, some officers' tunics were made with fixed lapels like the Luftwaffe Tuchrock.
Trousers were either slate-grey (later field-grey) Langhosen, or breeches worn with high boots. Generals and General Staff officers wore wide trouser-stripes of scarlet or carmine-red, respectively.
Although the M35 remained the regulation service-dress uniform, soon after the outbreak of the war, officers in combat units of the rank of regimental commander or below were ordered to wear the more practical (and less conspicuous) other-ranks uniform for frontline service, and save the "good" uniform for walking-out, office and garrison wear; some of these EM tunics were privately modified with French cuffs and officer-style collars. Nonetheless, many officers ignored regulations and wore the Dienstrock at the front, sometimes even with breeches.
South Carolina National Guard's 43rd Civil Support Team from West Columbia, S.C. along with Soldiers from the 1-118th Infantry Battalion from Mt. Pleasant, S.C. were tasked to launch an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Raven, to capture real-time video imagery of the flooding and potential for additional impact areas as flooding continues in Conway and Myrtle Beach, S.C. along Hwy 501, Sept. 21, 2018. This is their fourth aerial reconnaissance mission this week in support of flooding that continues to affect many areas of the Carolinas. Such missions must be coordinated and approved by the Secretary of Defense, with these being the first time a UAV was used in direct support of relief efforts caused a natural disaster. South Carolina National Guard Engineers and Transportation Corps are placing sandbags along the highway to ensure roadways remain passable and communities are not cut-off on the main route to highly populated Myrtle Beach, S.C. They have laid nearly three miles of barrier protecting a mile and a half of road with sandbags and flood barriers to keep the road open from flooding. There are approximately 2,200 South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, 40 Airmen, 100 State Guard on duty as well as 28 Soldiers and Airmen from Pennsylvania and Alaska National Guard, 8 troops from the New York National Guard, 100 Tennessee National Guard assisting response efforts from the impacts of Hurricane Florence.

Social advertising of CF "LA BEAUTY" in support of people sick with a rare disease systemic scleroderma (sclerosis).
These are the 8 gauge copper wires installed. These will support the reels and keep them off the bottom of the tank. The ends are filed flush with the outside of the tube. This is one of the photos from some film washing tanks. I finished the first one then began thinking about it and decided to try a second design. This one is with galvanize pipe instead of copper so that is cheaper, they are still over $25 to build though.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.
