Also, my biology teacher smoked in the classroom. Your $75 donation can give a displaced family fuel for heating and cooking, or support determined and brave women with emergency cash to purchase things like flashlights, food, and blankets or secure shelter. However, the number one priority is food, and they need all the help we can muster to funnel in resources to keep these people alive.Įquipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Together with partners, CARE is opening safe spaces for women and girls, which provide the most necessary counseling, training, and qualification for women. They have also begun to work actively to restore homes and provide psychological assistance to civilians who are impacted by the trauma of war. Keeping women and girls as the focus, CARE is working to support locally-led women’s organizations in Ukraine through grants, logistical support and expertise to rural grassroots led women’s organizations to help them deliver humanitarian assistance such as accommodation, advocacy around women’s rights and equality, relief items and relocation services.

And we need to see them because we created them." - David Jay That's rude.'" "I take these pictures so that we can look we can see what we're not supposed to see. In a National Public Radio interview about his project, Jay said, "You can imagine how many times each of these men and women have heard a parent tell their child, 'Don't look. We wish we could still be with them, but it wasn't 'in the cards.' Then we get up, remember the good times, and thank God for whatever we have left." Image by David Jay/ David Jay Photography. I asked Nicholas for his permission to post these images and this was his response: "The only thing that I want to pass on is this: Losing limbs is like losing a good friend. We took these pictures this past weekend in the swimming pool at Walter Reed Medical Center. 12, 2011, he was severely injured by an IED while on a foot-patrol in Panjwaii, Afghanistan. Factors other than age or atrophy seem to determine aqueductal CSF flow.Image by David Jay/ David Jay Photography. The present technique avoids underestimation of aqueductal flow, and therefore reveals higher aqueductal velocity and flux values than previous studies. Phase-contrast measurements were significantly related to flow-void on modulus MR images, but not with ventricular size or cortical atrophy. For all controls together, the averaged peak velocity was 4.2 ± 1.5 cm/s in rostral and -7.8 ± 4.9 cm/s in caudal direction for the flux it was 0.16 ± 0.10 cm 3/s in rostral and -0.29 ± 0.19 cm 3/s in caudal direction.

Aqueductal velocity and flux in old controls was higher than in young controls, but the differences were not significant. Phantom studies confirmed that the technique was accurate. A high-resolution gradient echo technique and an oblique imaging plane, perpendicular to the aqueduct, was used to avoid volume averaging. Cine phase-contrast MR imaging was used to study pulsatile CSF flow in the aqueduct in 11 young controls (mean age 30 years) and 9 old controls (mean age 69 years).
