text: content Iron supplementation reduces fatigue in premenopausal women Friday, July 13, 2012. The results of a trial described online on July 9 in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) reveal a significant benefit for iron supplements in iron-deficient (but nonanemic) premenopausal women who experienced fatigue. Reduced iron levels are common among women of childbearing age; however, consuming too much iron increases free radical damage, which has been linked to a number of diseases. Dr Bernard Favrat of the Department of Ambulatory Care and Community Medicine at the University of Lausanne and his associates enrolled 198 women aged 18 to 53 for the current double-blinded, randomized trial. Participants were limited to those who had deficient serum ferritin levels of less than 50 micrograms per liter and hemoglobin levels above 12 grams per deciliter. Subjects were divided to receive oral prolonged-release ferrous sulfate containing 80 milligrams elemental iron or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. Fatigue was evaluated at the beginning and end of the study, and blood samples were analyzed for hemoglobin, ferritin and other factors at baseline and at 6 and 12 weeks. Hemoglobin, ferritin, and other factors increased after 6 weeks among women who received iron and continued to be improved at 12 weeks, in contrast with the placebo group, for whom some values declined by the end of the study. "We found that iron supplementation for 12 weeks decreased fatigue by almost 59% from baseline, a significant difference of 19% compared with placebo, in menstruating iron-deficient nonanemic women with unexplained fatigue and ferritin levels below 50 micrograms per liter," the authors report. "Iron deficiency may be an under-recognized cause of fatigue in women of child-bearing age," they write. "If fatigue is not due to secondary causes, the identification of iron deficiency as a potential cause may prevent inappropriate attribution of symptoms to putative emotional causes or life stressors, thereby reducing the unnecessary use of health care resources, including inappropriate pharmacologic treatments." American ginseng combats cancer-related fatigue A study reported this week at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting held in Chicago reveals the finding of Mayo Clinic researchers that high doses of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) help reduce some of the fatigue experienced by up to 90 percent of men and women with cancer. In a study funded by the National Cancer Institute and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Debra Barton, PhD of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center and her associates administered capsules containing 2,000 milligrams American ginseng or a placebo in divided doses daily for two months to 340 patients who were undergoing or had recently completed treatment for cancer. Sixty percent of the participants were breast cancer patients. Although little improvement was seen at four weeks, those who received ginseng had less general and physical fatigue than the placebo group by the end of the study. No difference in self-reported side effects was observed between the two groups. "After eight weeks, we saw a 20-point improvement in fatigue in cancer patients, measured on a 100-point, standardized fatigue scale," Dr Barton remarked. Compounds in ginseng known as ginsenosides help regulate cortisol (a hormone released during stress) and reduce cytokines involved in inflammation. Future research conducted by Dr Barton will examine the effect of ginseng on fatigue-related biomarkers. "Cancer is a prolonged chronic stress experience and the effects can last ten years beyond diagnosis and treatment," Dr Barton remarked. "If we can help the body be better modulated throughout treatment with the use of ginseng, we may be able to prevent severe long-term fatigue."

Results may vary. Vitamin D3 1000 IU, 250 capsules Item #00251 Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by humans in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. But, due to the winter season, weather conditions, and sun block, the body's ability to produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited. All of these factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound effects on human immunity. These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems. Life Extension Mix Capsules Item #01654 Published scientific studies document that people who eat the most fruits and vegetables have much lower incidences of health problems. Few people, however, consistently eat enough plant foods to protect against common age-related decline, and commercial multivitamins do not provide all of the vital plant components needed to maintain good health. Life Extension Mix™ has been upgraded to include a rich source of anthocyanins from maqui berry and a rich source of proanthocyanidins, tart cherry. These potent plant-derived antioxidants promote cardiovascular wellness, support comfortable muscle and joint function, and support blood sugar levels already in normal range and have been added at no additional cost.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
You always wanted one! by Dobermann on 07/14/2011. Trim: 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, Owned 8 years.
Pros: Handling is as good as most race cars. Brakes are very good , with little fade. Steering is easy , not like the point and shoot of a C-3. The real story is the LS1 engine. With 350 ft pounds of torque and 350 horsepower, it is easy to think that you have the best of both worlds. A 49/51 weight balance, with a good deal of interior room, and a true sense of driving a world class sports car. This C-5 is the best Corvette that I have ever owned.
Cons: Wind and road noise is higher than it should be. The stereo system is more than enough to solve this little problem. In my case, I really enjoy the windows down, and listen to the exhaust as I go through all six gears.
Overall review: I rate this car overall as the best buy for the money, of any sports car. Great looks, with performance to go head to head with any other make of sports car. It makes you wish that you owned one sooner than later. To compare this car with any other car that I have ever owned, would be unfair. But to think of what I have missed over the years is truly unforgivable. I hear alot of my friends say things like, "I used some cylinder heads off of a Corvette" or " It has brakes just like a Corvette", or " It corners like a Vette", when refering to there cars that they have modified for performance. Which is all good and well, but why not just get the real deal? I have spent alot of money over the years on muscle cars, hot rods, race cars, ect. All to chase the elusive four taillights that always seemed just out of reach. Now they chase me.

Fifth graders at Gudith Elementary in Brownstown Township recently scurried out of the classroom to look for creepy, crawly critters.The bug hunt is a unique way of keeping track of water quality, and it has a big, technical name -- benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring.So what does it mean? Students hunt for bugs that crawl or slither on the bottom of the river, can be seen without a microscope and have no backbone. The more that are found, the better the water quality.The kids dug through muck taken from a nearby drain, then they put the bugs in ice cube trays for counting."They absolutely love it. They get their hands into the science. They get to see that we can test the water by seeing what bugs live in there," said teacher Rebecca Matzo."They can see what true scientists do and how our planet is surviving and discovering what bugs mean and how we need them."The Wayne County Department of Public Services coordinates these hunts with 13 schools and more than a dozen locations. They have been doing it since 2004.The data collected is important to all of us because these tributaries eventually lead to the Detroit River. Things like storm water runoff, pollution and illegal dumping affect the bug count in our drinking water."We are one of the few schools that have a water source by us, so they can come out and test right here," Matzo said.It turns out the preliminary results from the bug hunt show the water quality in that area is poor. We're told the weather and other factors could be to blame. Scientists will now try to figure out and correct the problem.Click here to see the full report.

Secretary Mark Gottlieb says this is a case of his department living within its means. Gottlieb says the department is not happy to be proposing the delays.

Over the course of the last few years, governments, policy makers and social scientists have rekindled an interest in the study of inequality. Inequality has come into focus again at the same time as the gap between rich and poor in many western nations has begun increasing after a long period of convergence. The pressures faced by welfare systems also threaten non-income mechanisms of equalization, in education, access to childcare, or health provision.
Yet, even as social scientists have developed tools to diagnose inequalities and their multiple consequences, there is much less attention to how inequalities are created, reconstructed and reinforced over time, and to how societies come to accept some inequalities as 'natural' and others as unjustifiable and immoral.
The Inequality, Social Science and History Research network will over the next two years bring together innovative historians and social scientists interested in (a) debating how the historical and social sciences can share ideas and develop new methodologies to approach the question of inequality over time, and; (b) developing and sharing groundbreaking work on inequality in historical perspective not just across disciplinary boundaries, but also beyond academia, seeking to contribute historical depth to contemporary debates.
In particular, the network is guided by the following interdisciplinary questions:
How can new understandings of fundamental categories (the social, the economic, the political) help us analyse the processes that are implicated in the production and reproduction of inequalities?
How does materiality – spaces, objects and instruments - participate in the production and transformation of inequalities, for instance through commodities, space and technology, as well as the body itself?
What is the relationship between the state, governmentality and inequality in historical perspective?
How are attitudes towards acceptable and unacceptable inequality created, reproduced and transformed?
In what ways can we engage with the production of inequality beyond the boundaries of the nation-state, both internationally, between states, and transnationally, as inequalities between individuals and groups across nations?
Can the concept of inequality help articulate established analytical categories such as race, class and gender, in new and fruitful directions?
More broadly, and through its involvement with non-academic participants, the network will develop channels and outputs through which long-term perspectives on equality and inequality can inform contemporary debates about the nature and political use of such concepts.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Chemotherapy Undertreatment Common in Obese Cancer Patients
Many obese cancer patients receive inadequate doses of chemotherapy and this is one reason why they have higher rates of cancer recurrence and death, experts say.
In order to correct the problem, the American Society of Clinical Oncology has adopted guidelines promoting full, weight-based chemotherapy doses for obese patients, the Associated Press reported.
Doctors should use a patient's size to calculate chemotherapy doses, but often fail to do so with those who are obese, the report said. One reason is concern about how much chemotherapy an obese patient can bear, but research shows that larger people cope with chemotherapy better than smaller people.
Studies suggest that as many as 40 percent of obese cancer patients receive less than 85 percent of the right doses for their size, according to the AP.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology's new advice should be viewed as right-sizing cancer care, said Dr. Gary Lyman, a Duke University oncologist who led the guidelines panel.
"There's little doubt that some degree of undertreatment is contributing to the higher mortality and recurrence rates in obese patients," he told the AP.
There is a problem with obese cancer patients receiving inadequate chemotherapy doses, said Dr. Richard Pazdur, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's office of cancer drugs.
"By minimizing the dose, or capping the dose, we have been undertreating patients," he told the AP.
The issue affects a lot of patients, as 60 percent of Americans are overweight and more than one-third are obese.
Alzheimer's Prevention Study Gets $33 Million Grant
The U.S. government said Wednesday that it has given a $33.2 million grant to a study that will test if a drug can prevent Alzheimer's in people at greatest risk for developing the most common form of the disease.
The grant was awarded to researchers at the Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix. The clinical trial will focus on the late-onset form of the disease, which affects the vast majority of the 5 million Americans estimated to have Alzheimer's, The New York Times reported.
The study will include people ages 60 to 75 who do not have any symptoms of the disease, but do have two copies of a gene known to greatly increase the risk of developing it.
This is the largest federal grant ever awarded to test a drug specifically designed to prevent Alzheimer's in people without symptoms, said Laurie Ryan, program director for Alzheimer's disease clinical trials at the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, The Times reported.
The government on Wednesday announced a total of $45 million in grants for Alzheimer's research.

Day 73/100
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Part 1)
Isn't this a gorgeous building? It opened in 1995 and was designed by the famous architect I.M.Pei, also known for his glass and steel pyramid at the Louvre, the J.F.K Library, and the John Hancock tower.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's mission is to preserve the history of the people who have shaped the music industry and much of western culture over the past half century. Thanks to two very generous ladies at the Rock Hall, I finally went to this museum for the first time last night. I can't believe that I've waited so long - I'm itching to go back so that I can slowly go through the entire museum! I saw Heart (the first women of rock!) live as well as the new Women Who Rock exhibit. It was an amazing experience, but I'll say more about that tomorrow. Thanks so much, Margaret and Reena =)

Braised Lamb Neck Fillet
A rustic dish from the south west of France where the famous cassoulet comes from. The best time to do this dish is June/July when the beans and pulses are fresh. If you are using fresh beans, reduce the cooking time by half (that means adding the beans at the same time as all the other ingredients).
It is also an excellent dish and even tastier towards the end of the year when the lamb becomes mutton. This dish can beprepared 1 day in advance. As an alternative flageolet or coco beans can replace the butter beans.
Ingredients Required
|2 tbsp
|Unsalted butter
|1 tbsp
|Olive oil
|4 x 300g
|Lamb or mutton neck fillets, sinews trimmed
|2 pinches
|2 pinches
|Freshly ground black pepper
|Tomatoes, ripe, cut in quarters and then in half
|Garlic cloves, peeled, crushes
|Butter beans, soaked overnight is 1L cold water
|Bacon, smoked, streaky, rind removed
|Garlic sausage skinned and roughly chopped
|4 pinches
|1 pinch
|Freshly ground black pepper
|Bouquet garni (2 bay leaves, 6 sprigs thyme, 1 sprig rosemary, 6 sprigs parsley)
Cooking Method
- Preheat the oven to 110ºC.
- Season the lamb fillets with salt and pepper.
- On a medium heat in a large frying pan 24cm heat the butter and olive oil until it begins to foam. Sear and colour the lamb fillets for 8 minutes turning every 2 minutes to achieve reach a deep golden brown.
- Transfer the lamb to a large casserole dish (24cmØ x 10cm); reserve.
- Spoon the fat from the pan and add 100g water, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the caramelised juices. Pour these juices over the lamb fillets.
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, bouquet garni and the remaining 750g water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to simmering point, cover and cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, add the drained butter beans, bacon and the garlic sausage. Cook for a further 1 hour at the same temperature. Taste and correct the seasoning.
- Serve directly from the oven to the table.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Fred Jackson never gave up on his pursuit to make it in the NFL, and now the Buffalo Bills running back has the lengthy contract to prove it.
Buffalo Bills
2008 Statistics:
Carries: 82
Yards: 571
Touchdowns: 3
Jackson signed a four-year contract extension on Wednesday as both a reward for his perseverance and his ability to provide the Bills' run game a valuable one-two punch behind starter Marshawn Lynch. It's a particularly significant deal for someone who played at Division III Coe College, spent a few years playing in the U.S. Indoor Football League before finally breaking into the NFL on Buffalo's practice squad in 2006.
"I traveled a road that not a lot of people take or will take," Jackson said. "I'm happy that I took the road, because I'm appreciative for being here and being able to have had the success that I have had."
Though the financial details of the contract were not immediately available, the extension is considered far superior than the one-year $460,000 tender the Bills offered Jackson to retain his rights this offseason. Jackson declined the offer in a bid to negotiate a long-term deal, and was pleased with the results.
"It let's me know where I stand with the team," Jackson said. "I thought it would be done a lot sooner than it actually was. It wasn't, but we're here now. I could just focus on playing football now."
He's coming off a solid second season with the Bills, in which he had 888 yards from scrimmage -- including 571 yards rushing -- with three touchdowns in 16 games, including three starts. Jackson's stock rose during his rookie season in 2007, when he supplanted rookie fourth-round pick Dwayne Wright as the team's backup.
Jackson's performance led to the team releasing Wright the following offseason.
Jackson will get the opportunity to do even more as he'll compete with newly signed veteran free agent Dominic Rhodes to start this season in place of Lynch, who'll miss the first three games while serving an NFL suspension.
"I'm excited about it and looking forward to the opportunity," Jackson said, while noting he'd prefer Lynch wasn't suspended. "I'm heading into the season knowing that I'm going to be the guy that they're going to be leaning on."
Free agent linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa was scheduled to visit with the Bills on Wednesday, but the team had no update on whether he had arrived in Buffalo. A six-year NFL player, Tinoisamoa was released by the Rams in a surprising move last week, as he had led the team with 104 tackles last season.
The Bills are in the market to improve their linebacking corps to play alongside returning starters Paul Posluszny and Kawika Mitchell.

As the owner of a custom mill shop that works exclusively for Baud Builders in Narragansett, R.I., I'm always on the lookout for ways to deliver the highest quality woodwork as expediently as possible.
On the new-house project shown in this article, for instance, I took on trim installation for 58 windows. Although the house had both double-hung and casement windows, they were all getting the same trim treatment — making it the perfect opportunity to use a measuring and cutting system I've developed over the years.
You might look at the fabrication work involved here and wonder, "Why bother? Why not just buy the material and turn a pair of carpenters loose for a couple of weeks?"
The reason is that there are advantages to my method that you won't get with conventional site carpentry. Most important is the quality of the installation: The parts fit together quickly and accurately, with no joints opening up down the road.
Also, we can get to work on the trim even before the wallboard-and-plaster phase starts. Site installation takes a few days, rather than weeks. And even if you're not fitted out with a millwork shop, most of the tools and techniques I describe are totally transferable to the job site.
The design for the trim includ-ed nominal 1-inch-by-4-inch square-butted side casings, a 1-inch-by-6-inch head casing with a 3/8-inch parting bead along its inner edge, and a 5/4 sill with a 1-inch-by-4-inch apron.
Window trim kits ship to the site in three pieces: the jamb extensions with sill, side casings, and parting bead attached; the head casing; and the apron.
Pine extension jambs were supplied with the window order and were 5/8 inch thick.
I drew the components at full scale and included a 3/16-inch-deep relief plough on the back of the casing material to accommodate irregularities in the skim-coat plaster walls. The trim was to be painted, so we specified the stock in poplar. We ordered the material custom-milled from a local molding supplier and had it delivered to the shop.
At the job site, I measured each window, noting the interior distance between the head and sill and between the side jambs, and assigned each a number that denoted size and type; this job had five casement sizes, numbered 1 through 5, and five double-hung sizes, numbered 6 through 10. Then I labeled each window with a piece of masking tape stuck to the glass.
I recorded each window's number, type, jamb interior width and height dimensions, quantity, and any special considerations such as proximity to a corner or another window or door unit. And — as always — I took digital photos of details, including all combination configurations; these would give me a reliable visual reference back at the shop.
Digital photography provides a foolproof record of special site conditions. This printout has been marked up for concise shop reference.
Next, I had to determine a standard width for the extension jambs. I first gauged the distance from the window jambs to the face of the wall studs by scribing a scrap of wood. I ended up with a series of lines that averaged 2 7/16 inches. I added 9/16 inch for the thickness of the gypsum board and plaster skim coat, which resulted in a final "standard" jamb extension width of 3 inches.
Each window trim package had nine individual pieces — extensions, head, bead, stool, and casings. With 58 windows, that meant I had a total of 522 pieces to process.
Since one of my primary concerns is efficiency, from this point on I made no further use of a tape measure, other than to transfer the site measurements to a master layout stick.
On this job, my layout stick was a length of 1-by about 2 inches wide and slightly longer than my longest trim dimension. I clamped it to an auxiliary bed on my chop saw with a stop block under the clamp.
Here, the author's layout stick is clamped to an auxiliary fence on his chop saw.
Colored lettering matches the layout stick to the white offset stick, which provides the lengthening dimensions for reveals, stock thickness, and overhangs.
With a stop block clamped at the appropriate layout mark, the author can cut side extension jambs two at a time.
When I use a layout stick, I don't set the end flush with the saw blade. That's because there are several offsets to take into consideration: the reveal between the window jamb and the extension jamb; the reveal between the extension jambs and the casing; the overhang of the parting bead beyond the side casings; the stool horns that extend beyond the apron; and the thickness of the side extension jambs, which rest on top of the sill piece.
To keep track of these differences, I make a pair of "offset sticks," one for the casements and one for the double-hung windows. These hold the marks for the various offsets.
I cut a small reference kerf on the correct side of each offset line to avoid error, aligning it with a kerf cut into the auxiliary bed of the miter saw.
I hold the offset stick against the bed, with the saw kerf properly aligned, then slide the layout stick till it bumps the offset stick. I clamp the layout stick to the fence, then place the stop block on the correct line for whatever component I'm cutting.
Color-coding provides a quick way to sort and keep track of all the parts during assembly and installation.
For example, here I used a red marker to label the casement head and apron layout marks, and a green marker to label what I call the legs, or side components. I used blue and black markers to label the comparable double-hung marks.
Every component receives a label.
As I cut each component, I lay out the pieces side by side, facedown on a worktable. Once I'm done cutting, I label the identical pieces with the appropriately colored marker; I do this all at once, across their backs.
Breaking the whole process down into the smallest repetitive steps, rather than treating a single component to two or three operations one piece at a time, is key to saving time and eliminating confusion.
This is the order of my cutting operations:
• Rip the jamb stock slightly on the heavy side and gang-feed it on edge through my planer to take it to a uniform finished width of 3 inches.
• Cut extension head jambs to length
(I cut several extra pieces to serve as spreaders during jamb assembly).
• Rout a 3/8-inch-wide groove in the head jambs to receive the parting bead.
• Cut extension side jambs to length.
• Cut stool stock to length.
• Cut head casings to length.
• Cut aprons to length.
• Cut parting bead.
Note that I don't cut my side casings to length yet. I wait until I've assembled the extension jambs, sill, and parting bead to double-check the exact dimension.
A routed groove in the extension jamb head will receive the 3/8-inch-wide parting bead, making a strong, self-aligning connection between the two parts
For this particular project, I first assembled the extension jamb sets.
Three-piece extension jamb sets are laid out on the table for assembly, six at a time.
Polyurethane hot-melt adhesive provides a strong 30-second bond between parts, allowing accurate and secure alignment.
Trim-head screws add strength to the glued joint.
Completed jamb sets are stacked to one side, awaiting the next assembly step.
Holding the pieces down against the worktable to align the edges and square up the joint, I glued the sides to the head with a couple of spots of Titebond HiPurformer (Franklin International, 800/669-4583, www.titebond.com). This polyurethane hot-melt adhesive has a 30-second set time and a bond strength of 1,360 psi after 24 hours.
I also drove a couple of 2-inch trim-head screws in at each end for good measure.
Next, I milled the bullnose profiles on the sill and parting bead with table-mounted routers. I own enough routers to dedicate individual tools for each bit. Since the routers have custom polycarbonate bases attached, I can simply drop them into a matching recess in the tabletop. When I'm done with one bit operation, I switch routers.
Rounding the end grain on a piece of trim tends to break the grain out, so I always profile the ends first, then the edges. A zero-clearance fence reduces grain blowout, and a good exhaust port prevents chip buildup between the cutter and stock. Chips interfere with the cutting action and cause irregular milling.
The author's shop-made router fence has a built-in dust port to reduce chip buildup.
A hold-down is screwed to the fence to control the stock feed, while front and rear stops on the end-milling sled help prevent grain tear-out.
After rounding all the ends, the author sends the long edges through the router table. This sequence wipes out any minor tear-out that may have occurred during end-milling. Dual feather boards ensure absolute stability.
To make the fence, I began by carefully pushing it straight across the running bit, freehand. Then I glued it to a square of 3/4-inch MDF that I'd drilled with a clearance hole for the bit. Finally, I hot-melt-glued the MDF to the router base. The MDF base allows me to use a stock sled made from the same material to guide the workpiece across the cutter during end milling.

Jason Smith,
Amassed through a life of collecting, the Edwin Shearin Railroad Memorabilia Collection covers 50 years of railroading in America. With the help of friends and family, Edwin Shearin compilied the various pieces of railroad memorabilia held within this collection.
The latter half of the twentieth century was a turbulent time for much of the United States railroads. With an increase in automobile and airplane traffic, America's railroad industry saw a marked decrease in rail traffic. Icons of the era like the California Zephyr and Twentieth Century Limited would complete their final runs. This era of railroading was captured in the song "City of New Orleans," penned by Steve Goodman and made famous by folk singer Arlo Guthrie in 1972. Rail traffic, which was at its height during the Second World War, declined sharply over the next 40 years. In 1959, the Interstate Commerce Commission approved the merger of Virginian Railway and Norfolk & Western. This merger ushered in the modern railroad mergers and consolidations. In 1968, the Pennsylvania Railroad merged with New York Central to create Penn Central, which would declare for Chapter 7 bankruptcy two years later on June 21, 1970. This era was punctuated in 1971, when President Richard Nixon along with Congress created Amtrak, via the Rail Passenger Service Act.
This collection is divided into five series. The first series contains publicity pamphlets distributed by various railroad companies marketing their freight and passenger train lines. The second series contains small time tables given to passengers from various railroad companies for their passenger trains. The third series contains miscellaneous information about the United States' railroad industry, and the fourth series contains two volumes of national timetables for all train travel in the United States and Canada. The fifth series contains photographs, cards and postcards, and printed material depicting locomotives and railcars used by railroad companies around the country. The contents of series five may have originally been mounted in an album.
This collection is divided into 5 series:
Containing pamphlets for passenger and freight trains, this series covers named trains throughout the United States.

Over 500 women took part in a day-long celebration in Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu to mark International Women's Day. The function was attended by elected women representatives, SHG members and other women.
The women took part in sessions on legal literacy relating to the Domestic Violence Act, Dowry Act and how to access free legal aid from the government. The District Judge and Project officer of the Women's Development Corporation participated in the event. Several women came forward to share their struggles and stress the importance of legal knowledge for women.
The highlight of the day when the ex-president of the Elected Women's Federation of Tamil Nadu shared her experiences of the struggles she had to face in her 10-year term as president and highlighted the need for women to show solidarity to each other. SHG members came forward to express their solidarity with women leaders in panchayats. There was also discussion about the need for an increase in the reservation for women in panchayats from the current 33% to 50%.
