Maria, 40, has found herself in a difficult life situation.
At early stages of pregnancy, the woman contacted MAMA+ staff for support. She learned about the project at the City AIDS Center. She told to MAMA+ staff that she had had an HIV-positive status confirmed since 2003 and was on ARV therapy. In the past, she had experience of using drugs. Besides, she had a previous conviction. The woman was willing to give birth to children, but was in need of psychological and social support.
Having learned about Maria's pregnancy, her partner left her, and her retired parents became her main and only income. While pregnant, the woman actively participated in training events on parenting and child development issues, received individual consultations on resolving psychological, social and legal concerns, complied with recommendations of the MAMA+ staff members, and took the therapy regularly. By the delivery, she had everything prepared for her children, including a crib and babies' clothes.
In June, Maria gave birth to two wonderful daughters Katya and Ira. The girls were born prematurely, weighing 1,600 and 1,880 grams respectively, and were placed in a children's hospital. Meanwhile, Maria was expecting an examination and a surgical operation on a uterine neck. At the examination, the doctors revealed focal points of TB infection, and the woman was hospitalized in the TB clinic.
Presently, Maria is taking a long-term course of treatment. Katya and Ira after gaining weight (2,300 and 2,600 grams respectively), were discharged from the children's hospital and are now in care of their grandmother – Maria's mother. She finds it hard nursing two children: they need special care, regular visits to medical specialists, physical therapy and special nutrition.
MAMA+ staff provide Maia's mother with assistance nursing the girls, as well as support Maria. Katya and Ira are in acute need of special baby formula. As the girls were born prematurely, they are facing serious health problems.
Maria is looking forward to doctors' permission to return home and stay with her children. The woman believes that she will get better, find employment, and all problems will be resolved. Meanwhile, MAMA+ staff members continue to provide the family with assistance.
Dear Friends, We would like to update you on the stories of our clients, as well as successes achieved by the staff of the MAMA+ Project due to your support.
Marina and KolyaThe MAMA+ project staff first encountered with Marina at the maternity hospital. The woman had given birth to a wonderful son who was named Kolya. At that moment Marina was keeping her diagnosis secret for her family members.
The woman phoned to the MAMA+ social worker shortly after her discharge from the hospital. The project staff found that she was keeping her HIV status undisclosed to her family, which made it difficult for her to explain her frequent visits to medical institutions with Kolya, as well as ARV therapy intake, to her relatives. During the project's first visit to the family, the woman started to work actively with MAMA+ psychologist in order to accept and disclose her diagnosis. Marina was provided with consultations on the needs and developmental specifics of a child under one year of age. As she experienced deprivation of her parental rights to her first child in the past, she was afraid the situation would repeat and kept much in herself. In such a stressful situation, she began to abuse alcohol.
In a short while, the same happened to Marina's baby Kolya. First, the child was placed in a hospital. Then, by agreement with the child protection agencies, Kolya was put in a babies' home until his mother resolved her problems with alcohol abuse.MAMA+ and city social service staff joined their efforts to develop a plan of assistance for the client. Marina visited her son regularly, bringing baby formula and napkins.
Marina and her husband received a course of anti-alcohol therapy. Kolya's father found official employment. The project staff assisted the family in collecting all the required documents for the child, and prepared a separate package to register for children's allowances. Due to MAMA+ support, Marina was able to overcome her fears and disclose her diagnosis to her husband.
On April 29, 2014, the child was returned to the family from the babies' home. Presently, Marina is attending the MAMA+ Center actively with Kolya. The family united in their fight for the child.
We are grateful to all GlobalGiving participants, as this is due to your support that we were able to strengthen this family and prevent orphanage placement of the child. The timely assistance, including the provision of baby formula, baby care supplies and other things, was crucial for this family in such a difficult period of their life.
We would like to update you on one more story and hope to support Anna and her family with your participation.
Anna and MityaIn April, + was contacted by a woman with a request to help her family. Anna, 33, is 32 weeks pregnant. Also, she has a son from her first marriage. The woman has past experience of injecting drug use, through which she contracted HIV. After her mother died several years ago, Anna stopped using drugs and began to plan a second child.
In February 2014, the family's apartment was damaged by fire, and Anna with her child, her husband, and her husband's parents are currently sharing a room in a residential hotel. Their damaged apartment needs renovating.
On May 27, 2014, Anna gave birth to her son Mitya. It was a premature birth, and the child is currently in the hospital under medical care and monitoring. The boy needs special feeding formula, treatment and continuous care.
The family is planning to renovate their apartment and move there after Mitya's discharge from the hospital. Presently, the only breadwinner for this family is Anna's husband. The family needs support in purchasing baby goods: a crib, a carriage, clothes, hygienic supplies, baby formula and medication.
Children's Day at the MAMA+ Center DTC has a tradition of organizing events on the Children's Day at the MAMA+ Counseling and Daycare Center. On June 4, volunteers of Estee Lauder's brand •• participated in the holiday for mothers and children. Professional •• makeup designers told the women of the specifics of applying makeup and beauty care, as well as engaged them in a holiday makeup session. The young visitors of the MAMA+ Center were also involved. Using face paint, DTC volunteers transformed the children into fabulous beasts. Together with the volunteers, the kids drew portraits of their beautiful mothers, using real lipsticks and eye-shadow apart from water colors.
The holiday culminated in a short photo session and a tea party. The women were gifted M•A•C festive packages. Due to joint efforts of •• makeup designers and DTC volunteers, that summer day became a real beauty holiday for MAMA+ clients. We are happy to share pictures of this event with you.
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to tell you about improvements in the lives of our clients, which took place thanks to your participation, as well as present a new family enrolled in the MAMA+ Project in acute need of support.
Updates on our clients' stories We have already told you about Zhanna and her son Artyom, as well as Anastasia and her little daughter Lyuda.Zhanna is still in the hospital, taking her treatment course. At the end of 2013, Artyom's father obtained his parental rights, collected a package of documents and took the boy from the babies' home. The child is currently living with his family. Due to timely preventive treatment, Artyom was not infected with HIV. This case is another confirmation of the fact that professional support is essential for a family in a difficult life situation.
Anastasia is still facing challenges. However, the main news about her is that her little Lyuda's health status has stabilized. The mother is trying to maintain this status through timely escorts of her daughter to the doctor, massage therapy and care. Anastasia attends biweekly medical case conferences at the MAMA+ Counseling and Daycare Center.As we have mentioned above, a new family had enrolled in the MAMA+ Project: Varvara and her children Vera and Nikita.
Varvara, 25, is 20 weeks pregnant. She has two children: her daughter Vera one year and four months old, and her son Nikita four years old. Varvara learned about her HIV-positive status at a prenatal clinic during her third pregnancy. She was referred to the project by the AIDS Center. The woman contracted HIV from her partner after giving birth to her second child. Unaware of her HIV status, she used to breastfeed her daughter Vera. When the girl attained 18 months of age, she was tested HIV-positive and her diagnosis was confirmed. The project staff members provide support to the woman at this difficult period of her life, taking care of her daughter (they escort the woman to the AIDS Center, arrange medical examinations and tests for Vera, and provide her with special baby formula).The woman was examined and tested to select a therapy in account of her pregnancy. Presently, Varvara visits healthcare institutions, receiving preventive therapy. The father of her expected baby (her partner) does not provide the family with any support. Varvara is currently living with her children. The family's quality of life is unsatisfactory. Varvara's relatives do not support her because of her HIV status. When she was a girl, she was in care of her grandmother; her parents were deprived of their parental rights. Varvara's grandmother lives too far from her and is unable to provide her with any support. Varvara cannot be employed as she is raising two young children and is currently pregnant. She lives in a small room of a communal apartment together with her children. She often clashes with her neighbors, with whom she is in conflict.Presently, Varvara is in need of a bassinet, a crib, babies' clothes and other things, babies' formula, and other goods of prime necessity.
I heard about MAMA+ center but I knew nothing about it before coming to "Doctors to children" organization. And I realize that this center is the only place, the only home you can go when you diagnosed with HIV and your life is ruined.
Imagine, you are a young woman, pregnant and left by your boyfriend. And accidentally you were diagnosed with HIV... What you should do? Where you should go? Who would you tell about your diagnose? Usually young women think their life is over and the only thing they can do is to abandon the child and leave him in orphanage. It is because medication from HIV is very expensive, because HIV means no job, no husband, no family, no life... In the world and in Russia particularly there still exist strong ban of people living with HIV, fear and stigma. Person HIV + is still abandoned by government and community. Imagine that situation when you have a baby... In other hand there are centers like MAMA+ for women HIV positive where they can get support and care, where they can be understands and helped.
In St.Petersburg there are several centers MAMA+ under care of "Doctors to children" organization. Its unique place for those who were abandoned and turned out in difficult life situation. MAMA+ has psychologists, social workers, qualified volunteers and facilities like kindergarden and social dormitory. Women can attend HIV school for mothers and learn how to take care of a baby being HIV+. The major thing of these groups is to help woman understand that she can be a mother no matter of her diagnose. To abandon the child and leave him in orphanage is not the right way. Its very important especially for Russia.
Nowadays MAMA+ centers work together with maternity welfare centeres in policlinics and hospitals to identify HIV+ women in difficult life situations and help them.
This experience is successfully replicated in another big city like Ekaterinburg.
To date, the boy's health status has improved. His mother's everyday care and love have brought good results – the neurologist no more confirms ICP. The doctor marked improvements in the child's psychomotor development. The boy has become more active and communicable. After the New Year's celebration, the mother and the child are preparing for hospitalization for scheduled monitoring and treatment of Maksim's main disease. The boy's mother has also decided to manage her own problem: she is attending peer support groups at a rehabilitation center. Maksim accompanies her at every session. The woman has also improved relationships with her family members: she is no more in conflict with her father who could not understand her behavior and problems related to the disease. Maksim's mother is still facing financial hardships, with all the money spent mainly on provision of care to the child (diagnostics, treatment, specialized monitoring). Kristina's main source of support is her parents. They provide her with material assistance for raising her older children. The MAMA+ Project provides the family with psychosocial assistance, limited material support, as well as diapers, baby formula and clothes.Presently, Maksim needs warm winter clothes and jumpers.

Posted Thursday, January 9, 2014 --- 4:43 p.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee police have arrested a 17-year-old boy in the theft of a thumb drive containing information about thousands of city employees and their spouses.
Mayor Tom Barrett announced Thursday that the stolen thumb drive has been recovered.
While additional analysis is ongoing, Barrett says there is no evidence that the information on the drive was accessed.
The thumb drive, a laptop computer and a computer bag were inside a car stolen from a Dynacare Laboratory employee in October. The car and laptop were recovered in November.
Police recovered the stolen thumb drive from a home Monday.
The suspect faces possible charges of receiving stolen property and bail jumping. Authorities are investigating how he got the thumb drive.

Great product
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets Everything was very professional and magnet itself was high quality. My pictures looked a little small compared to the preview that I saw. They were too far away. I was short on time and didn't order a preview one like I should have. Everyone who got one loved it! I will order again for sure!

Two men arrested for robbing Stop and Go Market in Manchester
MANCHESTER - Two men are under arrest for robbery after a convenience store customer was shot in the chest with a pellet-style gun Christmas Eve.
According to witnesses, two men attempted to rob the Stop and Go with what initially appeared to be a handgun.
A detailed description of the robbers and their clothes quickly lead police to arrests of William Eldred, 29, of Somerville, Mass., and Joseph Haywood, 27, of Manchester. Police located the men south of the store in the rear of 21 Hospital Ave.
The clerk told police the men had first tried to buy beer but did not have enough money, they returned wearing masks, brandishing a gun and demanding cash. The clerk turned over the money, police said, and a robber shot the customer in the chest. The clerk and customer were ordered to the ground and the robbers fled.
Eldred and Haywood are charged with theft and two counts of falsifying physical evidence. Haywood was arrested on unrelated warrants from Hooksett and later charged with theft.
Eldred was initially arrested for disorderly conduct when he became belligerent, shouted obscenities and caused a disturbance in a crowded neighborhood.
During booking, a CO2 cartridge was found on Eldred. According to police, his belligerence continued with threats to kill police officers and resisting efforts to contain him in a cell. Eldred was Tasered by police and charged with criminal threatening.
A search at Haywood's 13 Hospital Ave. residence revealed BB pellets discarded in a toilet bowl and clothing e in a washing machine consistent with the descriptions provided at the scene.

Coal seams of the Walbrzych formation, Intrasudetic Basin, Poland: inferences on changing depositional environment
ABSTRACT The petrological composition of coal seams of the Walbrzych Fm. was studied, and depositional conditions were reconstructed on the basis of both coal and clastic sediment analysis. Coal of this formation is of medium- to low-volatile bituminous rank; vitrinite reflectance Ro max ranges from 0.8 to 2.0% and volatile matter content from 29 to 16%.The coal seams of the Walbrzych Formation contain mainly banded coal; bright and dull lithotypes occur sporadically. The amount of banded and banded dull coals increases towards the top of the formation at the expense of banded bright coal. Consequently, vitrinite and vitrite content tends to decrease upwards. Peat deposition in the lower part of the Walbrzych Formation occurred predominantly in a telmatic forest zone. The mires were located between interdistributary channels on a delta plain, and they were probably ombrotrophic. In the upper part of the Walbrzych Formation, swamps were the primary sites of peat deposition. Abandoned channels were favoured as peat deposition sites for seams where increases in seam thickness are associated with increases in coarse clastic content below seams. Continuous peat deposition in overbank zones is postulated for seams wherein decreases in seam thickness are associated with increases in coarse clastic content. Where no relationship between seam thickness and coarse clastic content beneath the seam exists, the swamp may have encroached into overbank and channel zones rapidly. Changes in the environment of peat deposition may be related to tectonic activity along the basin margins during the Namurian.

Article: Peat-forming environments of Westphalian A coal seams from the Lower Silesian Coal Basin of SW Poland based on petrographic and palynologic data[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The petrographic and palynologic compositions of coal seams of the Żacler formation (Upper Carboniferous, Westphalian A) from northwestern and southeastern part of the Lower Silesian Coal Basin (LSCB) were examined. Coals studied are highly volatile bituminous coal, where Ro ranges from 0.91% to 1.09%. Seam 430 from the northwestern part of the basin contains high vitrinite percentage with rather low inertinite and liptinite contents, while percentage of mineral matter is variable. This petrographic composition is associated either with a predominance of Lycospora in miospore assemblage, or with a miospore assemblage of mixed character. The abundance of Lycospora reflects vegetation composed of the arborescent lycopsids while the mixed miospore assemblage is connected with diverse palaeoplant communities, namely, arborescent lycopsids, calamites and ferns. Seams 409 and 412/413 from the southeastern part of the LSCB are rich in inertinite and liptinite, while the vitrinite content is moderate. Their characteristic feature is the occurrence of a diagnostic crassisporinite (densosporinite). Amount of the mineral components in these coals is very low. Densosporites and related crassicingulate genera are main components of these miospore assemblages and were produced by herbaceous and/or sub-arborescent lycopsids. These petrographic and palynologic features were the basis for distinguishing three maceral–miospore associations: an arborescent lycopsid and mixed associations, occurring in the seam 430 and a herbaceous and/or sub-arborescent lycopsid association which was recorded in seams 409 and 412/413. The first two assemblages are interpreted as having been deposited in a planar rheotrophic mire, whereas the herbaceous and/or sub-arborescent lycopsid association is thought to have developed in an ombrotrophic, domed mire.International Journal of Coal Geology. 01/1999;

save on non-essential costs like overlapping training, supply and administrative structures. This had elicited some resistance from Canadian soldiers, but over time, they accepted it — mostly. The unified administration and training ultimately worked out after initial teething troubles, but the idea of trying to create a single service identity and uniform with no distinction between army, navy and air force never really caught on with the troops. Gradually, the services reasserted some of their former identities, with Maritime Command regaining the use of naval rank titles after a few years, followed by the readoption of separate dress uniforms for the (still lower-case) army, navy and air force in the 1980s (though the new Distinct Environmental Uniforms were more of a palette swap of the Unification uniform with some differences in detail rather than a return to the services' former uniforms). By the 2000s, the terms "Canadian Navy," "Canadian Army" and "Canadian Air Force" started creeping into semi-official use for recruiting posters, websites and such, in place of the official Maritime Command, Land Forces Command and Air Command (which had never been popular with servicepeople or gained much recognition with the public). Then in August 2011, the names of the elemental commands were changed back to the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy, and Canadian Armynote . Reactions were just as mixed as after unification: the return to tradition led some to rejoice, while others complained that it reinforces our connection to the British monarchy (which is seen as being detrimental to national identity). Either way, most civilians don't really care, accountants are annoyed at having to spend more money updating all the stationary, while many servicepeople are just happy to be able to officially call themselves Army, Navy and Air Force again within the unified structure of the CF, royal titles or not. History Until the 1860s, Canada was defended by British soldiers, in addition to any ad hoc militias formed by its own citizens. By the 1860s, however, the cost of maintaining a standing army in Canada was taking a toll on both Britain's treasury and Britain's patience. One of the major factors that led to Confederation was in fact the need for a stronger defense of the North American colonies, something which had become painfully apparent in the Fenian invasions coming from the U.S. After Confederation, fencible regiments were developed throughout the rest of the 19th century, until when Canada sent its own military units in the Boer War. A national navy would follow in 1910, motivated in part by the need to save British resources for its naval competition with Imperial Germany. World War One was when the Canadian army began Taking levels in Badass, as it turned in an impressive performance at places like Passchendaele, Ypres, and of course Vimy Ridge, a performance that was integral to Canada's development both as a nation and on the world stage. The "Hundred Days Offensive" is sometimes called "Canada's Hundred Days" as the Canadian Corps was used as "The Shock Army of the British Empire" in the attacks the pushed the Germans back over the Hindenburg Line. Canadian soldiers later made their Badass Army reputation clear in World War IInote and the Korean War. Since then, though, they are usually deployed in UN peacekeeping, and that made some Canadian soldiers unhappy. Currently serving with their U.S. allies in the War On Terror in Afghanistan, they also served in Bosnia and the First Gulf War. To this day the Canadian forces have a reputation for punching above their weight and can be downright scary in joint-forces training exercises. Organization Since the British monarch is also the Canadian monarch, Queen Elizabeth II is also (technically) the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Forces. However, since Canada is a sovereign nation, the Governor General — who is the Queen's representative — carries out most royal duties in her name. In practice, both are no more than figureheads, and all military decision making either goes to Parliament or the Department of National Defence. In spite of the unification, the Canadian Forces still possesses highly distinct military branches, all with their own separate roles and duties. In addition to the usual ground, air, and naval components, there is also Canada Command (analogous to the Northern Command in the States), Expeditionary Force Command (which coordinates almost all actions outside of the country), Special Operations Command (in charge of elite commando and counter-terrorist teams), Operational Support Command (handles logistics, medical care, and policing duties) and the Information Management Group (which specializes in electronic and cyber warfare). Aside from these primary forces, there's also the Reserve Force, which is split into a number of sub-components like the Primary Reserve and the Canadian Rangers. Another British-like note is the regimental system in the Army. Although the Canadian Army doesn't encourage the extreme loyalty to "The Regiment" that the British Army does, the system of named regiments with strong identities is strong in Canada and soldiers are proud of their regimental histories. As is the case in the United States, service is voluntary and more or less follows the same rules. Conscription has been introduced in the past, but is almost impossible to bring into the picture; the last two times it's been tried during the World Wars, rioting ensued (mostly by French-Canadians in Quebec) and the party in power got voted out. Today, with separation a definite option, the federal government even mulling over using conscription would be enough of a provocation for Quebec to immediately declare independence. Then again, the idea of conscription would probably elicit the same reaction in the rest of Canada as well. Equipment One interesting trait of the Canadian Forces is that they've done very good work with at times very crappy equipment. In World War I, the first Canadian troops were sent into combat with rifles that tended jam in mud or even disassemble when fired, and poorly stitched boots that tended to fall apart at the slightest wear. Yet in spite of these difficulties, Canadians still pulled off Crowning Moments of Awesome at places like Vimy Ridge and Ypres. More recently, the Canadian Forces had to make do with antiquated junk like the Sea King helicopters (that required up to 24 hours of maintenance for every one hour of flight time), although they continued to serve in the first Gulf War and in the Yugoslavian conflict. Good years or bad, the Canadian military has tended to use their own variants of equipment used by the Americans or British, possibly with modifications to better suit geographical or personnel requirements. However, some equipment (such as the LAV III armoured vehicle or the McMillan Tac-50 anti-materiel rifle) is standard-issue in the Canadian military, and otherwise unavailable or in limited use in those two countries. The current standard issue weapon is the C7 Rifle, an M16 variant which is modified for better reliability and is commonly equipped with the C79 optical sight. It is supplemented by the C8 Carbine, carbine version similar to the M4. The backbone of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps is the LAV III, a 8x8 wheeled armoured vehicle derived from the Swiss MOWAG Piranha, which is also the base for the US military's LAV-25 and Stryker-series. When the Cold War came to a close, it was decided that existing Leopard C2 battle tanks would have been replaced by up-armoured LAV III variants armed with 105mm guns, on the premise that lighter, air-mobile vehicles would be better at responding to low-intensity combat environments that were predicted to define the future of warfare. However, the invasion of Afghanistan and the extensive guerilla warfare that took place in the aftermath proved that heavy armour was still very much needed, which led to the German Leopard 2 being acquired on loan from the Bundeswehr, and later purchased surplus from the Netherlands. In the air, the CF-18 (derived from the carrier-based US F-18 Hornet) serves as the primary fighter craft of the Royal Canadian Air Force. With most airframes having accrued thousands of flight hours during their thirty years of service, the Canadian military is understandably looking for replacements. Currently, the leading and most controversial contender is the US F-35, which has caused some political problems, both because of the cost (which had been grossly understated by the party in power) and ongoing developmental issues that have plagued the aircraft for years. When not bumming rides off of its allies (as was often the case during the early years of Afghanistan operations), C-130 Hercules and a handful of C-17 Globemasters provide transport capabilities. At sea, the Canadian military has fifteen surface combatants and four submarines (more on them later), in addition to roughly two dozen support vessels, namely minesweepers, support tankers, and patrol boats. It also utilizes aircraft for a variety of supporting roles, though they are operated by a separate air force division. Although larger and more capable than many other naval forces in other countries, the Royal Canadian Navy is actually quite small, given the fact that the country is surrounded by three major oceans and has by far the largest coastline in the world. Many Canadians bemoan the lack of presence of the Canadian military in fiction, having to endure being compared to their rivals to the south. This is mostly true, but it is just about the same for a large number of other countries and their militaries as well. Seriously, however, in any case Canada is attacked by an outside enemy like the Russians with Rusting Rockets, their numbers, less than a hundred thousand full time troops and paid reservists, wouldn't be enough to stop them. So that, along with the fact that a very large portion of Canada's population lives along the U.S.-Canada border, is why the cooperation between the U.S. and Canadian Armed Forces is important, and NORAD is just one visible proof of that. On the other hand, Canada is also in a nifty defensible position where the entire population, numbering only 34 million, could virtually vanish into the Arctic - and very few militaries in the world would be equipped to follow them. You see, General Winter does not just fight for the Russians. The Canadian armed forces contributed heavily to the creation during World War II of the 1st Special Service Force, also known (and appears in the movie entitled) The Devil's Brigade, the ancestor to most North American special service forces. Note that the chinook is the name of a mountain wind that can cause drastic temperature changes, most commonly happening in the Pacific Northwest, so the phrase "Canucks with Chinooks" might in Real Life be mistaken as referring to Calgary (In the U.S., it's more commonly called a foehn wind, or a Santa Ana in Los Angeles).The Canadian Forces, as they are known today, were formed by the unification of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy, and Canadian Army into a single command structure in 1968 to
