Getinge – where sustainability is more than a word
Sustainability means meeting today's needs without jeopardizing the ability to meet the needs of future generations. Sustainable development must combine ecological sustainability, financial and social sustainability.
Environmental responsibility
For Getinge, this means that greater profit should never be at the expense of destroying the environment or the health and well-being of people. We thus work continuously to minimize our environmental impact in the best way possible. In 2008, the Getinge Group initiated a systematic effort to establish efficient and sustainable environmental and climate work, through measures such as updating the Group's environmental policy and formulating the Group's environmental objectives. In 2009, this work continued and the Group has established regular internal reporting of environmental performance.
Environmental policy and targets
The overall environmental objective and policy of the Getinge Group is to contribute to a sustainable society. We therefore strive to minimize our environmental impact by optimizing energy consumption, not only in our own production and transports, but also by developing energy-efficient solutions for our customers. We have, for example, adopted the principles of EcoDesign in our new product and process development, in order to optimize the use of natural resources. We are also committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our waste handling and our emissions to air.

Oct. 14 marked the seventh anniversary of Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire's arrest shortly after she attempted to run for president against Rwanda's military dictator, President Paul Kagame. The Brussels-based International Women's Network for Democracy and Peace commemorates Oct. 14 as Ingabire Day, a day of solidarity with Victoire Ingabire and all political prisoners. I asked Claude Gatebuke, Rwandan genocide survivor and founder of the African Great Lakes Action Network, to explain Victoire Ingabire's message.
August 24, 2016
BlockReportRadio.com interviews Claude Gatebuke of the African Great Lakes Action Network, about the 20th anniversary of the invasion of the Congo by Rwanda and Uganda on behalf of the western world. We talk about genocide, child soldiers, mass rapes, mineral extraction, slavery, and more. We also talked about the role Hillary Clinton, Uganda Pres. Museveni, Rwandan Pres. Kagame, and the African Union have played in this conflict, which has killed more people than any other war except WWII. Please tune in for more at BlockReportRadio.com.
November 10, 2015
The Block Report speaks with our correspondent Claude Gatebuke, also of the African Great Lakes Action Network, about the politics in the African Great Lakes region. We discuss Rwandan President Kagame attempting to extend his reign for a total of 40 years, Rwanda working for Western powers, tension between Burundi and Rwanda, political prisoner Victoire Ingabire, the role Tanzania has played as a stabilizing factor and more.
February 26, 2015
Over the weekend the organization Friends of Victoire hosted an international webcast to strategize about how to free Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Ingabire has become an icon of freedom, democracy and peace since returning to Rwanda in 2010 to attempt to stand for the presidency against incumbent Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
April 17, 2014
Twenty-four years after the Ugandan invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, both the history of the four-year war that followed and realities of life on the ground in Rwanda today are fiercely disputed. Claude Gatebuke survived the violence and founded the African Great Lakes Action Network (AGLAN) to promote truth and reconciliation in Rwanda and the rest of the Great Lakes Region of Africa.
December 16, 2013
While Rwandan President Paul Kagame was in South Africa to pay his last respects to Nelson Mandela, the Rwandan Supreme Court upheld the conviction of imprisoned opposition leader Victoire Ingabire and extended her sentence from eight to 15 years. As she left the courtroom, Ingabire gave her usual thumbs up salute and urged her supporters not to be afraid, because, she said, time and history are on their side.
December 5, 2012
Over the last 16 years, more than 6 million lives have been lost in Congo – and the major perpetrators of those atrocities have been U.S. allies Rwanda and Uganda. The majority of victims have been children under the age of 5. Subsequent U.S. administrations have provided aid to the Rwandan and Ugandan regimes. The U.S. remains one of the top two donors of aid to Rwanda today.

July 21, 2012
The State Department announced today that the U.S. "has cut this year's planned military assistance to Rwanda amid concerns that the government in Kigali is supporting rebel movements in neighboring Congo," according to the Washington Post. A three-year campaign by advocates for peace in the Congo and an end to the plundering of its mineral riches culminates successfully in today's announcement. They have been pressing for implementation of the only law sponsored by then Sen. Obama allowing denial of aid to Congo's neighbors that destabilize the Congo.

They had machetes and guns and all kinds of weapons and they ordered us to dig our own graves. Two young men came and negotiated for us; they wouldn't give up until the militia just got tired of negotiating and left us alone and let us go. I was 14. I felt like I was going to get chopped up into pieces. I felt like I was going to be one of those people screaming for help with no hope of getting help. But good people came to our rescue. The truth will be turned on its head by having Paul Kagame, a genocide perpetrator, speak about genocide denial and genocide prevention.
December 4, 2011
Kagame jails and kills people in Rwanda and is sending his agents to pursue people in Europe and here in the U.S. for the crime of simply saying that not only Tutsis but also Hutus died in 1994. One young man who is now under attack as a "bad" survivor is Claude Gatebuke.

Universities and school officials that partner closely with major criminals, especially those who kill, rape and molest children, would do well to heed LaVar Arrington's advice. Let today be a start to protect the victims, instead of the perpetrators.

Tomorrow Kagame will appear as one of Bill Clinton's featured speakers in a plenary session of the Clinton Global Initiative, an annual gathering of the global elite. At the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative, Clinton presented Kagame with a Global Citizenship Award.
August 25, 2010
A nationwide coalition of U.S. activists is calling on President Barack Obama to intensify pressure on the government of newly re-elected Rwandan President Paul Kagame. They want Obama to immediately terminate all military assistance and freeze the $240 million scheduled for Kagame's undemocratic regime.

Herschel Walker at 48, wants to play at NFL again after retiring in 1997By Angel Cuala on Jan 26, 2011 in Sports, United States •
Herschel Walker, 48, a noted professional American football player since 1986 and won the 1982 Heisman Trophy but retired in 1997, recently announced his plans to play at National Football League (NFL) again, according to US sports news sites on Monday.
Photo credit: MMAJunkie.com
Walker, who will turn 49 this coming March 3, said on Monday that he wants to make a comeback as NFL player, who now into MMA and won his debut fight on Jan. 30, 2010 after stopping Greg Nagy in the third round.
"I've told everyone that at 50 I might try football again to show people I can do that. I want to be the George Foreman of football, come back and do that one more time." Walker revealed that day during a conference call to promote his upcoming MMA fight on Saturday.
"The two teams I would come back to play for are Minnesota or Atlanta," Walker said. "It would probably be Atlanta because that's home for me." Walker said, adding that he is now in better shape now than he was during his early 20s, playing football.
Herschel Walker's next MMA fight will be against the 27-year old Scott Carson for Strikeforce in San Jose, California, and will be shown via Showtime at 10 p.m. (ET).
During his NFL days, Walker played for Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants, and wore a Jersey 34.
Herschel Walker has not been playing football professionally for 13 years.

Honesty, Branding, and Businessmen
I'm putting together a YouTube channel for a project I've been working on. I had planned on releasing it on a friend's channel, but after some consideration, we decided it would be best not to. This resulted in an immediate panic on my part. I realized that if I created my own channel, it would have to be named, and might require a blurb or two, something defining who I was and what I was doing here.
I like writing. I love to tell stories, sometimes I like to blog or write an essay, and occasionally I make a foray into the wonderful world of poetry and spoken word. I would like to turn that into a career. Over the years that task has seemed either daunting or a matter of course, depending on how optimistic I was when I woke up that morning. But it's always involved a plethora of very different projects, not all of which fit together into a coherent picture. I have all sorts of plans and dreams and castles in the air, and asking me to actually sit down and say what I'm about as a writer, asking me to boil all that down into a simple self-definition, asking me to actually get down to it and brand myself—asking me to do that is a little intimidating.
"What?" I think, "You mean I actually have to start somewhere?
My friend was amused, and probably didn't quite get the panic. He's more of a get-it-done type, less prone to worry. So he gave me a book about branding called Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk, who is a very successful businessman. And I have to be honest, thinking about writing as if it were a business feels a bit cheap to me. A little cynical. I'm not here to make money, I'm here to communicate! To tell stories! To make art!
But Vaynerchuk is not cynical. This is a guy caught up in the sheer fun and creativity of business. The subtitle of his book is Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion. He wants everybody to make a living not just doing something they can live with, but doing something they enjoy. And Gary Vaynerchuk made a point about business that caught my attention.
The best way to brand yourself, the best way to market your product, is to be honest. Customers value sincerity. Consumers want someone they can trust. An honest businessman catches your attention. You know who he is and where he stands. He doesn't pretend to be something he's not, and that's attractive. He's not trying to deceive you or manipulate you, he's here because he's passionate about his product and he wants to share that passion. The fact that he can make a living off of it is simply the beauty of passion meeting opportunity.
There are two lessons I got out of that, and the first is rather obvious: businessmen are not money-hungry, soulless, vampires. They are people doing what they love. Yes, they market things, they target consumers. Yes, they do whatever it is they do in exchange for money. But if you could make a living doing something you enjoyed, wouldn't you jump at the opportunity?
The current cultural climate is not friendly to businessmen. When I was younger, I was insulated from that by living in a community of free-market types and blue-collar workers. I was taught respect for people who worked hard to get a job done and to earn a living, and I was taught to be thankful for an economic system that allowed the people on the bottom to work their way to the top. But for the past four years, the circles I've run in have not had the same values. "Big business" is that thing that exploits poor people, colludes with the government, and destroys the environment. And because I run in artsier circles at least some of the time, business is that thing people do when they no longer have the courage, the drive, or the inspiration to live life creatively.
See, people are funny. We can talk all day about not judging a book by its cover, about not being prejudiced. Pretty much everyone agrees that you should give people the benefit of the doubt and actually get to know them before passing judgment on them. But in practical application, we rarely do this. The people in my life who shout the loudest and proudest about tolerance are often the first to mouth off about businessmen. And, sometimes, I buy into their preconceptions.
But in Vaynerchuk I was confronted with the fact that people who market and sell stuff for a living aren't just suits who sold out. They can be passionate, creative, and honest. And it's Vaynerchuk's emphasis on honesty that catches my attention. If you deceive your customers about yourself or your product, for a while you may see some success. But over the long run, they won't trust you, they won't stick around, and they certainly won't recommend you to their friends. Market deceptively, and you're just another guy selling just another version of the same old product. Market honestly, and you're a guy I know and trust, a guy I will buy from. Honesty pays off.
That's the other lesson I got out of that book: Honesty pays off. In a world of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and blogs like this, we all have the opportunity to put on a different face, to pretend to be someone we're not. This is an age-old temptation. People lie about themselves and put on airs in order to impress others.
But the funny thing about this is that it doesn't work. We can all tell a phony. And we all know that if you spend the day pretending to be someone you're not, in the evening you have to come home and live with who you really are. After all the witty tweets and well-written blog posts and carefully doctored Pinterest photos, you have to live with your own fears and anger and insecurity, your clumsiness, thoughtlessness, and failures. Lie in public, bask in the likes and retweets, but eventually you have to shut off the laptop and be yourself.
Honesty feels dangerous. Letting people see your strengths, your good side, that's easy. But letting them see your weakness and your wounds, the places where you are damaged or weird or just don't measure up, that's terrifying. It opens you up to insults, to shaming, to exclusion. It's terrifying.
But honesty is refreshing. We trust an honest person; someone who doesn't have it all together, and doesn't pretend to. We trust his opinion, because we know he's not just putting on a show. We admire his courage, because we know he passed through fear to obtain it. We admire his strengths, because we feel for his weaknesses. We can sympathize. An honest man is someone you can trust, and in an age of phonies, that's refreshing.
Put on airs, and men will trust you only until you fail. Be sincere, and men will trust you despite your failures.
Lessons from a marketing guru: Honesty is the best policy.

Film Screenings / Programs / Series
May 11 – May 15
The Seventh Art Stand is an act of cinematic solidarity against Islamophobia. In May 2017, participating movie theaters and community centers across the U.S. will show films from the countries affected by Islamophobia and the proposed travel ban. The Network of Arab Alternative Screens (NAAS) joins U.S. theaters in this coalitional effort to elevate the cinemas and stories of our friends and fellow filmmakers abroad. We believe it is crucial to build a tradition of sharing more stories, voices, and faces on our screens.
Here at Anthology we'll be showing at least one film from each of the seven countries on the proposed travel ban, including special screenings of Abbas Kiarostami's CLOSE-UP, in memory of this giant of world cinema who sadly passed away in July.

Hype is an interesting phenomenon. As human beings we should know better because we've seen hype fail us over and over again. Even when a book, movie or show is good it can still leave a bitter taste when it doesn't live up to expectations. I should know better.
My expectations were really high for The Martian and it didn't help that I had the book sitting on the shelf for over an year. I also delayed watching the movie because I really wanted to read the book beforehand… and then all the positive reviews of the movie just added on top of that.
I also delayed reading The Martian because… chemistry isn't my strongest subject. I read the first thirty pages and was afraid that my lack of knowledge would hinder my enjoyment (which was silly since I liked what I read so far). So be advised my dear reader, I don't know if the science is sound and if that matters to you then I would check with Neil DeGrasse Tyson (I'm pretty sure he live-tweeted his viewing of the movie).
That being said, after I read it, I never felt like the science in the book held me back, even though most of my chemistry knowledge comes from Breaking Bad.
With all the science going on the plot of The Martian is pretty straightforward. Mark Watney is accidently left behind on Mars after his crew had to make an emergency evacuation off the planet. To their credit the crew thought Mark was dead, which sadly means for Mark that NASA and everyone else on Earth thinks he is dead as well. Unable to contact Mission Control, Mark is now faced with the realization that he will be stuck on Mars for years.
Thankfully my ass will never be on Mars, because if I were in this story it'd be over right about now. Mark Watney, on the other hand, uses his skills (being a botanist and a mechanical engineer) along with his creativity and sense of humor to tackle everything that Mars sends his way.
Which is a lot. I don't think Mars likes Earthlings. Personal grudge?
What's interesting about the writing is that The Martian's style is completely different from last week's book, All the Light We Cannot See. The writing is direct, to the point and only elaborates when explaining how Mark is going to get out of a situation. Weir doesn't waste time on flowery images and gets right to the nitty-gritty.
I won't give any more details since I don't want to spoil anything. I think everyone should give this book a try, not only because the protagonist is amazing, but it's strangely uplifting. Not only does science and creativity win the day, but it shows how the Human Spirit TM has the ability to triumph over insurmountable odds.
Score: Nine Duct Tape rolls… because they are magic.
In The Margins:
- I'll be watching the movie on Saturday, so if you're on Twitter watch out for my live tweets!
- The review for the movie will be out on Tuesday. Just in time for me to have watched two of the nominations for Best Picture (better than last year).

St Vincent's Healthcare Group say it is due to "controversy and misinformation"
A review is to be carried out into the status of the new National Maternity Hospital.
The chairman of St Vincent's Healthcare Group, Jimmy Menton, says it is due to "controversy and misinformation" regarding the project.
The Elm Park campus, where the new facility is to be built, is owned by religious group the Sisters of Charity.
Health Minister Simon Harris has come under severe pressure since it emerged that sole ownership will handed to the group once the hospital is built.
The minister had claimed the group would receive no financial gain from the new hospital - and pledged to ensure the facility will remain entirely independent in terms of its clinical, operational, budgetary and financial operations.
An agreement was signed in November 2016 providing for the corporate and clinical governance arrangements for the new maternity hospital.
In a statement, St Vincent's Healthcare Group say: "That agreement was publicly endorsed and welcomed by both the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, and the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, at a press briefing that evening in Government Buildings."
But it adds: "In view of the controversy and misinformation that has arisen in recent times regarding the project, and the views expressed by the Minister for Health and other members of the Oireachtas, the board of St Vincent's Healthcare Group will review the status of the project in light of the current situation.
"Pending this review, the board does not intend to make any further comment."
In response, the Department of Health say Minister Harris outlined his position "very clearly" and remains fully committed to the project.
His department say the minister "is confident that the criteria which he has identified will be met as the project proceeds, subject to planning approval, through the various development stages.
"Further stages of the process involve the minister discharging his duties with various parties by putting in place appropriate legal mechanisms.
"This will include arrangements to secure the State's interest, which apply in all capital projects on voluntary hospital sites to protect the State's investment."
It says the minister himself will formally sanction these arrangements.
The statement from the Department of Health reiterates: "The clinical, operational and financial independence of the new hospital as provided for in the agreement will also be copperfastened in new legal arrangements."
Health correspondent with the Irish Times, Paul Cullen, told Newstalk Drive it appears intervention from Minister Harris has rubbed some people up the wrong way.
"My feeling is that St Vincent's have played hardball right through the negotiations - they're negotiating from a position of strength in that they own the location for the hospital.
"The sentiment even before this, but certainly now, is that they would happily walk away from this - and that would mean that no maternity hospital would be built in the foreseeable future.
"That's how serious this is, and it's also serious for the minister as well because they clearly see that the minister's intervention was an attempt to unpick the agreement that was reached last November".
Earlier, the chair of the Oireachtas Health Committee Dr Micheál Harty said it was not important who owns the hospital, telling the Pat Kenny Show: "I think who owns the hospital is not the issue.
"It is what happens within the hospital that is the issue - and I think there has to be obviously clinical and operational and financial governance within that hospital that has to be independent.
"I think that there needs to clarity [...] if the Sisters of Charity for instance came out and definitively stated that they would not have any ethical involvement in the running of the hospital that would clarify the issue very quickly.
"In relation to the hospital it has to have a secular ethos, it cannot have an ethos that is run by one religious body."
Nearly 80,000 people have signed an online petition against the ownership, and a protest was held outside the Department of Health on Thursday.
There have also been calls for a Dáil debate on the issue.

Schindler's List Movie Quotes
History's forgotten chapter that's ugly from one side and beautiful on the other featuring Oskar Schindler is what the movie Schindler's list is about. The movie has monochromatic composition. I don't know whose decision that was and what was the reason, but it was a good decision, because it made the movie more intense and let it catch more depth. There's a lot we can learn from Oskar Schindler as a person and as a businessman. Schindler's List is a biography, drama and historical movie. It was released in 4th February 1994. The run-time of the movie is 3 hrs 15 minutes. Liam Neeson playedRead More →

High Starter Magazine
Please follow the link to our 2017 High Starter Magazine to discover all we have been doing in the last year.
Mr Bulcock took a small group of Year 8 High Starters to a medical taster day at the University of Leeds recently on 14 December. The students were given the opportunity to participate in workshops on dentistry, medicine, healthcare and psychology. The day was very informative and the students were able to meet students and lecturers and learn about university life as well as discovering more about careers in healthcare. The dentistry workshop was a particular hit with students getting hands-on experience as the photograph shows.
November 2017
We had great fun launching the Year Seven High Starter programme with a visit to the Harrogate Climbing Centre on 29 November. The session focused on both teamwork and communication skills. The students worked together and had to communicate effectively in order to keep each other safe. Communication was also important in helping the climbers get higher by pointing out any hand holds they might have missed. The students had a great time at the centre before coming back to school where they were given a brief talk on what it means to be a High Starter at St John Fishers.
November 2017
On 13 November, a group of 25 Year 9 High Starters spent a fantastic day at Oxford University to learn more about life at this prestigious place of learning. After a cold and early start we arrived at Brasenose college where we were given a tour and invited to ask questions of a number of current Oxford students. Our students were then given the opportunity to talk to Dr Joe Organ, Schools and Publications Officer before dining in the beautiful surroundings of the college hall. In the afternoon we met with some of our former pupils who are currently studying in Oxford. One of the Year Nine's commented ' The trip has made me more determined to work hard as it will benefit my future.' Another said, ' It was very informative and the people were lovely and welcoming. We got to interact and not just be talked at.'
April 2017
In April, a group of twenty five Year 10 High Starters were invited to visit the University of Cambridge and to stay in Fitzwilliam College. We received a fantastic welcome and were very well looked after with great accommodation and lots of excellent food! The students learnt a great deal about the application process and were given a tour of Fitzwilliam and our link college St Catharine's. We enjoyed an entertaining lecture on veterinary science and even managed to squeeze in a guided punt on the river Cam where we learnt all about the history of the university. The students were very positive about the whole experience and only sorry that they could not stay for longer.
February 2017
On 7th February, 2017, a handful of High Starters from Year 8 and 9 attended a Philosophy workshop with University of Manchester lecturer, Nicola Mulkeen. The pupils got to engage with Philosophy at degree level; encouraging them to use higher level thinking skills to unpack global issues and further question issues they are exposed to on a daily basis.
The pupils involved were keen to debate and challenge one another, as well challenging the politics of world leaders and current ethical issues. They enjoyed expressing themselves and sharing their thoughts in a safe space.
There will be opportunity for these pupils to work with Miss McHugh to establish a P4C group so that they can share their new skills with the rest of the school.
January 2017
On 30th January, twenty five of our Year 8 & 9 High Starters had the opportunity to take part in a debating workshop run in school by the English Speaking Union. The ESU is a unique educational charity dedicated to helping people realise their potential through giving them the skills and confidence in communication to articulate their ideas and share them with others. We were joined for the day by a mentor who trained the students to express and critically evaluate ideas and share them with each other.
The students learnt the principles of parliamentary debating in the morning, as well as working on their style and delivery and in the afternoon took part in a mini-debate. They discussed questions such as whether the state visit of Donald Trump should go ahead and whether non-essential cosmetic surgery should be banned.
Feedback from the students was very positive and we are planning to start a KS3 debating group with the help of our Sixth Form debaters.
November 2016
Twenty four Year 9 High Starters accompanied by Dr Langstaff and Mr Fox visited Brasenose College, Oxford on 4th November to find out more about life at this prestigious university. We were met by Joe Organ, the Schools Liaison Officer who gave us a talk about the college and the university and introduced us to a group of current students who were able to answer all our questions. We were then given a tour of the college before lunch 'in hall'. In the afternoon we visited University College and Mr Fox's alma mater, Keble. A real highlight of the day was meeting former SJF students Sam Smith, Stella Kremer and Alessandra Martorana who shared some of their experiences with us. Hopefully this trip will inspire more Oxbridge success stories in the future!

High Starters News
Classics Visit from Leeds University
In March, the Year 12 Ancient Historians enjoyed a visit from the Classics Department of Leeds University. Two current undergraduates gave a general talk on studying Classics at Leeds and this was followed by an academic taster session led by Maria Haley, a PhD research student in the Department. Maria's talk introduced some of the modern presentations of Sparta from cinema and video games and the students then analysed them against historical sources. Our visitors were very impressed with the students' knowledge and enthusiasm!
Latin News
Six of our Ancient Historians are so keen that they have requested an after-school beginners Latin class! Mr Richards leads the group assisted by Dr Langstaff and they are both delighted at the opportunity to refresh their own knowledge. No doubt this will be very useful for the students who are all considering undertaking degrees in Classics and related subjects. 'Noli cedere cognoscere!'
Year 7 – Leeds Festival of Science
As part of Leeds Festival of Science a group of mathematically minded Year 7 students were given the opportunity to investigate an area of Mathematics not usually studied until A-level. Students were introduced to Graph Theory and were shown how it can be used in various applications such as the algorithms used by Facebook to find "People you may know" and how SatNavs can find you the quickest route from A to B. The session was challenging but the Year 7's tackled the tasks with enthusiasm.
Year 11 – Maths Inspiration
Mathematics can, by some, be perceived to be boring and students often ask "When am I ever going to use this?" Admittedly, for some the answer may be "Never", but we wanted to show our students just how mathematics can be used. We took a group of Year 11 students to the West Yorkshire Playhouse for a "Maths Inspiration" event. This consisted of three speakers who each spoke to the audience about how they use mathematics in their jobs; from using statistical tests to find out whether drugs are as effective as they may initially appear to be, to designing sports stadiums. The students got fully involved in the event, with some going up on stage to join in various activities, and we even had to wait around at the end so that they could get their calculators signed by the speakers.
Year 10 – Maths Feast
A group of eight Year 10 students took part in the Further Maths Support Programme (FMSP) Year 10 Maths Feast this week at Bootham School, York. The Maths Feast is an enjoyable and challenging team competition testing mathematical, team-working and communication skills. The competition involves a variety of rounds, or courses, including fast-paced relays, family-favourite Countdown and a challenging comprehension round (this year's was on complex numbers, a topic studied in A-Level Further Maths). The teams worked with enthusiasm and put in their best efforts throughout the day, and although neither of our teams won the event one team did earn a prize for the best performance in the Countdown round.
Team A: Will Pritchard, Aidan Miller, Eimear Griffin, Rosa Fattorini
Team B: Liam O'Neil, Tom Dolan, Owen Davies, Matthew Horsfall
Team Maths Challenge
In April, four of our students ventured over to The Mount School, York, to compete in the UK Mathematics Trust's Team Challenge Regional Final. Cameron Mackinnon (Y8), Aga Oledzka (Y8), Charlotte Holmes (Y9) and Matthew Ball (Y9) took part in the fast-paced day of maths challenges, ranging from cross-numbers to frantic relay races, competing against 28 other schools from across the region. The team worked exceptionally well in all of the challenges, demonstrating excellent teamwork, mathematical ability and sportsmanship. The team placed a very respectable 10th against some very strong competition!
Individual Maths Challenges
The UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT) is a registered charity whose aim is to advance the education of children and young people in mathematics. The UKMT organises national mathematics competitions and other mathematical enrichment activities for 11-18 year old UK school students. Over 200,000 students from around the UK entered the Challenge with the top 6% receiving a gold award, the next 13% receiving silver, and the next 21% bronze. Earlier this term some of our Year 9, 10 and 11 students took part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge and they performed extremely well. Our students managed to achieve 4 gold awards, 16 silver awards and 30 bronze awards.
Every year several thousand students sitting the Junior Maths Challenge are invited to sit the Junior Kangaroo papers. We are extremely pleased to have three of our Year 8 students qualifying for this paper: Cameron Mackinnon, Sammy Kelly and Sophia Lubiecki.
Congratulations to everyone who achieved an award and those who qualified for the follow-up paper.

Congratulations to Felicity Graham who was recently awarded a Certificate of Merit in the Fitzwilliam College Ancient World/ Classics Essay competition. Felicity produced a 2,500 word essay on the question 'What can we learn about family relationships in the ancient world?' Dr Sara Owen, Admissions Tutor and Director of Studies in Classics at Fitzwilliam congratulated Felicity on a 'great achievement' and invited her to Cambridge to receive her certificate. Well done Felicity!
Science & Technology Day at York University
Fifteen Year 8 students achieved great success in the York Science and Technology Challenge Day held at the Department of Computer Science at the University of York on 23rd May. The event was designed to give an enjoyable insight into higher level science and technology as well as providing an opportunity for students from different schools to work together in teams. The students participated in three different activities: a medical diagnostic session, an E-FIT activity working with police imaging software and a Vehicle challenge which involved designing, building and racing a simple electric vehicle. Two of the three activities were won by teams including St John Fisher students and Lara Allen, Sophia Lubiecki and Cameron Mackinnon were part of the five member team who were awarded with the trophy for the best team overall. These students will now progress to a Challenge Final at the beginning of next year. Congratulations to all involved and good luck in the Final!

The Feminist Guide to Everyday Acts of Empowerment: Part 2
Continued from Part 1
- Having important life goals and ensuring those around you support them: Part of empowerment is deciding how you want to live your life, what you want to achieve, and then going after those ambitions rather than doing what others want or what you think you should be doing according to cultural norms. Having healthy relationships means that your partner, family members, and friends support your goals and the things in life that are important to you. It may be helpful to write down your goals and why they are important to you to remind yourself to stay strong if you ever feel discouraged. While a goal of creating world peace is admirable, you are more likely to achieve your goals when they are SMART: specific, measureable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.
- Cultivating and maintaining supportive female friendships, trusting and supporting other women: Women are socialized to distrust, antagonize, compete with, and dislike other women – to align themselves with men and give their time and energy to them. This can make cultivating and maintaining supportive relationships with other women, or even politically organizing with them, difficult or challenging, but ultimately one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. If you're looking to make female friends you can post an ad on craigslist or Meetup, you could join a club, craft, sport, or volunteer group, or try to make friends through your school, job, or faith community. For many women it takes a lot of work to overcome the internalized misogyny that is preventing them from having fulfilling friendships or working together with other women. If this is something you struggle with, try to keep the following tips in mind: Support is a two-way street – try being the friend you'd like to have. Avoid things like talking about other women behind their back and name calling (even if it seems endearing) like bitch or slut. Engage more in celebrating other women's successes, being emotionally supportive, and giving other women the benefit of the doubt and not rushing to judgement.
Politically speaking try to avoid horizontal hostility and identity politics – you don't have to agree 100% with someone to show solidarity and build coalitions for common causes. Learn about the cultures of women who are different from you by reading books and watching documentaries, but don't assume this makes you an expert. If you're offering political support to women of a different race, class, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. than yourself, make sure you do so respectfully – ask how you can be involved if at all, don't presume to speak for the group or assume authority, don't interrupt or talk over others, insert your own opinions, start arguments, or derail conversations, and avoid power struggles and cliques – in short, let the group decide what their objectives are and what your role will be in them and respect their rules, conditions for participation, and code of conduct. If you have concerns about the group bring them up privately to leadership and respect their response – if asked to leave the group do so with maturity and equanimity. Avoid airing dirty laundry about other women or groups – public critiques should be respectful, grounded in feminist analysis, and aimed at principles, not personal attacks.
- Being able to control your reproduction: Physical, intellectual, psychological, spiritual, and financial autonomy are all essential for personal empowerment. Pregnancy, labor, and birth can be taxing or stressful for women in all these areas, therefore, you should have the right to decide if and when to have children and how many. In the US there are many options for controlling your reproduction including hormonal contraception, e.g. the pill, ring, implant, shot, or some intrauterine devices (IUDs), non-hormonal contraception, also called barrier methods, e.g. condom, sponge, diaphragm, or cervical cap, fertility awareness method, also called natural family planning or rhythm method (there are free apps you can use to track your menstrual cycle), and abstinence. In the US, if you're interested in hormonal contraception, many are free or low-cost if you have Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance due to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA also mandates that your annual gynecological exam that is required for a birth control prescription to also be fully covered by your insurance provider. If you do not have insurance many community health programs offer low- or no-cost exams and other preventative care appointments.
At your annual exam your doctor will take a swab of your cervix to check for abnormal cells, a procedure called a pap smear, test you for certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (but not necessarily all of them so if you suspect you may have been exposed make sure to ask your doctor to test you), often will do palpation exam of your breasts, and sometimes will check your iron levels or other lab work. The exam shouldn't be any more painful than a little discomfort so if your doctor is causing you pain you have the right to ask them to stop the exam. Your doctor should also be explaining everything they're going to do before they do it and answer any questions you have.
The office will call you in a few days to tell you the results of your pap smear. If they detected abnormal cells it is most likely because you have been exposed to a strain of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and they will ask you to come in for a biopsy of your cervix. If the biopsy results are positive for certain strains of malignant HPV they will go over your treatment options. If you're sexually active it is important to get your annual pap smear because if left untreated some types of HPV can lead to cervical cancer, but it's important to note that most women who have their abnormal cells treated do not go on to develop cancer and are able to maintain healthy cervical tissue.
Although not viable as a long-term contraception method, if you have a lapse in your birth control that results in unprotected sex you can get "the morning-after pill," or emergency contraception (EC), over the counter and take it within 72 hours to prevent pregnancy. EC usually costs between $35-60, with the generic version being less expensive than the brand name version, Plan B. If your local pharmacy only has Plan B, there is a $10 coupon you can get on their website, which also has information about how it works, side effects, and an FAQ. If you have health insurance, you may be able to use it to purchase EC so ask a pharmacist for help if this is an option for you. You can also order a generic version of EC to have on hand in case you need it.
If you find yourself with an unwanted pregnancy you can obtain either a surgical or medication abortion to terminate the pregnancy. If you are in a country in which abortion access is restricted or illegal you can contact Women on Web or Women on Waves for help. In the US although Planned Parenthood is the most well known abortion provider, there are various local providers as well. Every state has its own laws pertaining to abortion services so make sure you call your local clinic and make an appointment as soon as possible – they usually won't be able to see you for a few days, so you have time to think about it and change your mind if you want, but the longer you wait the fewer options you have.
NOTE: It is imperative that you call an actual abortion clinic and not a "crisis pregnancy center." These are intended to confuse you and they are frauds. When you show up for your appointment, instead of counseling you they will try intimidate you, sometimes traumatically, into deciding not to have an abortion. They will tell you misinformation about abortion causing breast cancer, suicidality, or infertility [it doesn't]. They will tell you that they will help you and provide you with financial and material resources for you and your baby [they won't]. At an actual clinic they will give you accurate information and resources for adoption or prenatal care if you do end up choosing not to terminate the pregnancy and they will provide you with respectful, supportive care without trying to coerce, shame, or scare you.
Being able to control your reproduction also means being able to make choices about your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum if you find yourself with a wanted pregnancy. If this is the case, firstly congratulations! And secondly you should know that you also have a number of rights as a pregnant, birthing, and postpartum patient, including the right to privacy, to choose your midwife or physician, choose your birth setting, information about benefits and risks of procedures, drugs, tests, or treatments, to accept or refuse any of these and to have your choices honored, to change your mind or withdraw your consent at any time, receive care that is appropriate for your cultural or religious background, communication in your preferred language, have family members or support persons of your choice present, freedom of movement during labor, and uninterrupted contact with your baby.
For many women childbirth can be a fulfilling and empowering experience, but for many women, it can leave them feeling traumatized if they experienced induction, poor pain relief, feelings of loss of control, high levels of medical intervention, not being listened to, lack of information or explanation, lack of privacy and dignity, poor postnatal care, or previous trauma, among other factors. For this reason many women opt to hire a birth doula to assist with various aspects of emotional support, physical support, education, and advocacy during childbirth. Doulas can help you make a birth plan with all of your preferences that will be given to the medical staff assisting with your labor and delivery. Whether you decide to hire a doula or not, make sure you take childbirth classes if it's your first pregnancy to prepare you for all of the different things that can come up during labor. Many women suffer injuries from childbirth that go overlooked or undertreated by their doctors. If you have lingering postpartum pain or other health issues and your doctor doesn't take them seriously make sure you find a healthcare professional who does.
- Learning self-sufficiency skills: Learning to be self-sufficient can be one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. The more skills you learn and master the more time, energy, and money you can save – plus you get the satisfaction of a job well done that can be a major confidence-booster. At the very least if you do choose to hire someone, your increased knowledge of the skill or trade will help you know whether they're doing good work at a fair price or whether they're trying to rip you off. Some areas of self-sufficiency skills include: automotive, bicycle, and other vehicle repair/maintenance, home repair/maintenance and remodelling, farming/gardening, trapping/hunting/animal raising, butchering, fishing, weaponsmithing/repair, food preservation, radio operation, knot-tying, pest-control, sewing/weaving/knitting, cooking/baking, woodworking/carpentry, plumbing, computer programming, accounting/bookkeeping/tax preparation, survival skills, first aid, foraging, electronics repair, and welding. A lot of community colleges will offer these kinds of classes at a low cost so introductory-level mastery is can be easily accessible. You may also be able to find local craft or trade groups that offer classes or lessons, or you may be able to volunteer somewhere in exchange for learning the skill. And if nothing else there are always YouTube videos, library books, and the trial-by-error learning process.
- Being physically fit and strong: Being physically fit and strong not only helps you escape and survive potentially dangerous situations, but also builds up your confidence and self-esteem, which plummet for most girls when they hit puberty. The keys to maintaining good physical fitness are to make it a part of your everyday life, make a commitment to prioritizing it, and make it something you enjoy doing. This could be a group sport or activity or something you do on your own. There are many women's sports, cardio, weightlifting, and strength training classes or groups that you can find for free or low cost through your local YMCA or parks and recreation department. There also lots of books, apps, websites, and videos you can utilize for individual training. You don't need an expensive personal trainer or elaborate equipment to get started – you just need the motivation.
Part of physical fitness is also ensuring that you maintain a healthy weight, diet, and relationship with food. If you have an eating disorder or are underweight it is imperative that you seek treatment because if left untreated could become a life-threatening condition. The good news is that most women who seek treatment for their eating disorders recover and go on to maintain healthy a weight and relationship with food. As with other mental health issues, there is no one-size-fits-all path to recovery – make sure you try various treatment options until you find one that works for you. If you need to lose weight, whatever diet, meaning nutritional program, you decide on make sure you research it thoroughly so that you're not setting yourself up for failure. Don't engage in temporary, or "crash," diets just to lose weight because that usually means you will gain back the weight after you stop dieting, commonly referred to as "yo-yo dieting." Your diet should be something that you can easily fit into your lifestyle over the long term and shouldn't require drastic changes or cumbersome restriction. Don't get obsessed with a number on a scale – let your body find the weight that feels naturally comfortable and that will also keep you healthy.
Try to learn as much as you can about nutrition, your body's needs, and how to heal your relationship with food, which may require professional assistance from a psychologist, therapist, or dietitian. Many dieticians will offer free consultations and many insurance plans will cover follow-up visits with a small co-pay, so if you're overwhelmed with where to start or what nutritional program is right for you, it may be a good idea to make an appointment to talk about your options. Many communities will offer free weight-loss classes or support groups as well. Once you develop a nutritional and fitness plan, there are many free apps and websites you can use to help you stay on track and reach your goals.
- Rejecting feminine grooming rituals and beauty practices: As documented by feminist theorist Sheila Jeffreys, socially prescribed feminine grooming rituals and beauty practices – that are so pervasive as to be rendered "natural" – have numerous harmful side effects for women both physical and psychological. Thus rejecting these social mandates is critical for personal empowerment. Feminine clothing such as dresses, bras, spanx, and high heels are often restrictive and uncomfortable – they can prevent you from running or fighting, and can cause damage to your spine or feet. Likewise, shaving or waxing your underarms, legs, and pubic hair, cosmetic surgery, eyebrow threading, waxing or plucking, hairdressing and coloring, manicures and pedicures, anti-aging treatments, and makeup can be expensive, painful, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. All of these beauty practices are psychologically restrictive as they send the message to your subconscious [read: socialization] that your primary function is to be looked at, to be a passive decoration, rather than to be one who acts upon the world: to be an object rather than a subject. Imagine all the things you could accomplish if you used the time and money it takes to conform to societal standards of femininity to instead do something that really fulfills you as a multifaceted human being!
Think about it: there's a reason that only one half of the population is asked to electively self-harm in such a way, is told that their natural bodies aren't good enough, while the other half is allowed to be comfortable and free from elaborate and expensive grooming rituals. Spoiler alert: it isn't because it's beneficial to women – it's for the benefit of men and men only. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself, you cannot choose to participate in femininity "for yourself" because it never was and never will be for you. It may make you feel good about yourself temporarily but only because it feels good to be validated by society and by patriarchy. However, that is only a superficial feeling – true self-esteem and confidence come from loving – and wearing – your natural face, your unsupported breasts, your lumpy belly, your unshaven legs, underarms, and pubic hair, your wrinkles, your gray hair, your natural nails, and from wearing comfortable, practical clothing.
- Taking off your hijab when it's against the law: My Stealthy Freedom is an online social movement that allows women to protest compulsory hijab laws in countries like Iran by sharing photos of themselves with uncovered hair. These brave women are not only empowering themselves but also working toward the liberation of all their fellow countrywomen.
Although this guide has covered a lot, don't think that you need to try to tackle everything in it all at once. To start, pick something that seems the most interesting to you or that you could benefit the most from. As you find yourself mastering these everyday acts of empowerment, make sure you share these skills with other women through education and support. And no matter what, remember to stay strong on your feminist journey!

Europress offers a range of high quality press tools for the fast assembly of industrial piping systems. Using a jointing method instead of welding, the press fit system allows for quick and easy assembly of components.
Our press tools are a cost-effective alternative to hot tools and require no hot work permits or naked flames. They are reliable, with built-in safety features that ensures a clean, consistent press for excellent results.
The use of our press tools can greatly reduce the amount of time needed for installation — up to 10 times faster than conventional Tig welding techniques.
You can use our press tools and fittings both wet and dry — there is no need to drain your pipe contents completely, making it faster and easier to complete repairs for existing pipework systems.
All of our press tools are manufactured to conform to the highest industry standards.
Pressing Process
The pressing process requires pipe press tools. The type of jaw attachments varies according to the type of fitting and the diameter of the pipe. We offer a wide range of pressing tools, including:
- Electromechanical — This type of press tool is battery or main powered (18V or 240V). It is suitable for the full range of pipe diameters.
- Electrohydraulic — This type is suitable mainly for larger diameter pipes, ranging from 76.1 mm to 108 mm.
The Europress system is compatible with a wide variety of press tools, provided that they are equipped with an approved M-profile jaw. Kindly consult with our technical department to verify if your press tool is suitable for the Europress system.
The engineered profile of the jaws transfers the thrust from the tools into radial compressive force.
Take a look at our range of pressing tools below.
Why Choose Europress?
Europress tools have been designed to facilitate fast and easy assembly of industrial pipework systems with press fitting. This method produces a reliable, secure and long lasting seal, promising a high level of quality that you can depend on. Unlike welding, which can present a risk of fire, press fitting provides a safe alternative while also reducing installation time. Europress tools are also ideal for creating pipe systems in compact spaces, where the traditional welding method may be too dangerous.
For any further information give our experts a call.
Kova Clamps
Kova clamps assist when mounting pipes, clamping strongly around them to produce correctly supported pipework, especially when multiple lines are used for a neat and clean installation.
Kova clamps have a natural vibration dampening characteristic which is important when installing pressure piping to reduce vibration and noise and to absorb shock. Kova clamps are a well proven industry standard design available in a range of configurations and series. Kova clamps can be mounted by a range of formats – welded, bolted, rail or strut mounted and stack mounted. The standard body material is polypropylene but polyamide, aluminium, steel, stainless steel or POM are also available.

Air conditioner covers for winter-proofing your unit
Here we are after our first freezing temperatures of the year and we're talking about air conditioning again; well it's for good reason.
With air conditioning covers, people tend to cover the entire unit with the cover and that's kind of a bad thing because it makes a nice little home for rats and rodents and things that can chew your wires.
The best covers costs around $50 and only cover the topmost portion of the unit.
If you ever notice on air conditioning units if you start to get a little bit older, it's the very top on the unit that rusts away and starts to make it look kind of junky.
This helps prevent that from happening, plus if you've got any leaves in the vicinity, that's the first place the leaves are going to want to fall into is right inside the air conditioning unit.
With a custom cover, you can keep your air conditioner protected, looking good, and make sure you don't have anything that's going to mess it up.
It's got some clips that comes with it, so you just take the clips, in case it's a windy day, you clip it right on there, and make sure it doesn't fly away in the wind; and it's just as easy as that.
So now, we're all set for the winter season; snow, rain, ice can hit us, we're protected.
Just don't forget to take it off before you use the AC again next spring.

"I'm going to have to move my bees out of this pesticide strewn valley this year".- Maybe the people who live in the house just before Marilla Trailhead will be of help... I saw a man there the other day cuttingfrom the woodlot. You've paid such close attention to them. Bad Fields vs Good Fields: Proper stewardship of the gift Father has given us is a quiet testimony that will be rewarded in time to come... rejoice! I am blessed by your example and hope to pursue Father to help me in areas of my life that need more close attention to tender loving care rather than reckless waste. Truly the seed of Christ is valuable, worth preserving, much in the same way you are seeking to learn what grows best here... I can't wait to have our own fresh ground whole wheat flour for natural leaven!
A big thanks son!

The pace you are thinking of is still to close I will have to take the hives at least two miles from here to make a difference. maybe Larry's pastures up the road this would be the best for me so I could walk there to check up on them. Or I was thinking of asking Steve and Rebecca if I could set the hives up at their place.

On July 29, President Obama announced the outline of new clean car standards covering cars and light trucks through 2025, which will amount to the single biggest step this country has ever taken to end our addiction to oil and tackle global warming.
In conjunction with our national federation, we helped convince the Environmental Protection Agency to set smart new limits on the amount of smog-forming carbon pollution that new coal-fired power plants can emit – an important victory for the 92,000 adults and almost 22,000 children in New Hampshire who suffer from asthma, which is exacerbated by smog.
More than 800,000 of us called on the Environmental Protection Agency to close loopholes in the Clean Water Act. And in May, they answered by finalizing a rule to restore protections to the more than 20 million acres of wetlands, 60% of streams, and drinking water for 117 million Americans.

The state Gambling Commission reversed course Thursday by cracking down on game machines that have multiplied in recent months at bars and card rooms in Washington.
State lawmakers pressured the commission to consider banning the "Group 12" or "nudge" machines, saying at least 400 of them have appeared since the commission approved them last year.
The commission stopped short of a ban — while keeping that option on the table — but voted to forbid bars from giving gift cards as prizes. Gift cards can be redeemed for food, alcohol and other games and some bars give customers change in cash.
"That absolutely is not what we intended," Chris Stearns, chairman of the commission.
Stearns said the rules now specifically allow food and nonalcoholic beverages among the merchandise that can be given as prizes.
The commission also restricted prize tickets from being used to replay the machines, and restricted the numbers of the machines at each 21-and-older establishment where they are allowed.
Distributors of the machines opposed the changes and say expansive permission for merchandise prizes will help sometimes-struggling bars persuade customers to stay and return. One industry group has filed a $15 million claim against the state that could be prelude to a lawsuit.
