Troop 111 enjoyed art in the outdoors and hiking together this fall! STEM got science? Engineering is Fun! Troop 217 Junior Girls from Longreach explored through the Engineering Journey this fall. When thinking about a Take Action project, they decided they wanted to create a video on why they think Engineering is fun. They hope to share their story to inspire other girls to explore engineering. 4 GIRL Stories SHARING THE LOVE ACROSS MAINE Troop 2403 in Gorham happily raised their hands to work on handmade Valentine cards for the healthcare workers at Maine Medical. They made 76 cards to give the nurses and doctors to boost their morale and strength to keep on saving lives while risking their own. Brownie Girl Scout, Astrid from Troop 907 took the initiative and made Valentines kits to distribute to her troop so they could all make Valentine cards to send to Maine Hospice through the Hearts for Hospice initiative. Look how fun and creative these Valentines are! Kasey Jordan and Lily Philbrook of Troop 422 spent two meetings making 150 valentines for two local Rehabilitation Homes in Ellsworth, Courtland Rehabilitation and Seaport Rehabilitation, as well as Seaports Assisted Living Facility. Each resident received a card and a carnation. 5 Considerate and Caring... Always Living the Girl Scout Law When Troop 1168 found themselves with extra cases of cookies at the beginning of pandemic, they offered their network the opportunity to purchase cases to be donated to healthcare professionals. Still finding themselves with leftover cookies and observing their teachers, bus drivers, and other staff working so hard to make their new normal as safe and comfortable as they could, the girls made the decision as a troop to treat the hardworking teachers and staff at Helen Thompson Community School in West Gardiner. Christmas bags were filled with a package of cookies, a pencil, eraser, and a thank you Christmas card from the troop. They donated 54 packages and hope to make this a recurring event each year! Way to go girls! On October 31, in celebration of Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday, Troop With 2020 causing so many 1008 put together “birthday bags” that included cake mix, frosting, cake uncertainties, Girl Scout Troop 2024 of pans, candles, plates, and napkins. The girls had fun creating a spread- Rising Star discussed what they could out assembly line to put together their supplies in colorful gift bags. At do to help their community and decided the next meeting, some of the troop safely met at a local food pantry to to put together Christmas boxes for take a tour and deliver the bags to be passed out to those in need of some families in need. They reached out to birthday cheer. the school district in Enfield to identify families in need with young children. They were able to put together 3 boxes full of goods and buy gifts for all the children, helping 3 different families. The girls were so thankful that they were given the opportunity to help members of their community in such uncertain times. Well done, Girl Scouts! Thanks to the support and donations from our Gorham community and beyond, the Girl Scouts from Troop 618 were able to donate more than 900 masks to students and staff across Gorham Elementary schools. The girls collected donations of material, handmade masks, and received donations from members of their community throughout the summer and fall. Masks were sewn and delivered following all COVID precautions. 6 In November, Troop 111 invited girl- empowerment book illustrator Alexandra Bye to speak to the girls, since they had been talking about helping refugees, a girl- led idea! They had a zoom meeting with Alexandra, all getting to know each other, and she linked their interests to careers the girls might be interested in someday. She talked about the importance of speaking up for others and using our voices. She encouraged them to feel confident in their talents. It was a wonderful experience! From this, the girls then collected items that Catholic Charities of Portland needed for refugee families. They collected and delivered more than $1,000 worth of items - toothbrushes, pillows and blankets, towels, mittens, baby gear, cleaning supplies, etc. The girls learned so much about helping others in need during this time, as well as what it means to help people of all colors and cultures. Troop 111 had also earned so much money from their Fall Product Sale that they had a celebration and also brainstormed more ways to give back to their community. They voted on their ideas and supporting people experiencing homelessness was the top choice! Through a wonderful process of goal setting, the girls brainstormed what they thought was needed and chose the amount of money they wanted to spend. The girls then put together the packages individually and delivered them to a local shelter. It was a great activity to teach girls about community, being there for others, giving what you can when you can, as well as being grateful for what you have. Beautiful job, Girl Scouts! GET TO KNOW THE GIRL SCOUT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) encourages girls to Discover themselves, Connect with others, and Take Action to make the world a better place.

    The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien The Things They Carried First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

  • Delta-Notch Signaling: the Long and the Short of a Neuron’S Influence on Progenitor Fates
    Journal of Developmental Biology Review Delta-Notch Signaling: The Long and the Short of a Neuron’s Influence on Progenitor Fates Rachel Moore 1,* and Paula Alexandre 2,* 1 Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King’s College London, London SE1 1UL, UK 2 Developmental Biology and Cancer, University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London WC1N 1EH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (P.A.) Received: 18 February 2020; Accepted: 24 March 2020; Published: 26 March 2020 Abstract: Maintenance of the neural progenitor pool during embryonic development is essential to promote growth of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is initially formed by tightly compacted proliferative neuroepithelial cells that later acquire radial glial characteristics and continue to divide at the ventricular (apical) and pial (basal) surface of the neuroepithelium to generate neurons. While neural progenitors such as neuroepithelial cells and apical radial glia form strong connections with their neighbours at the apical and basal surfaces of the neuroepithelium, neurons usually form the mantle layer at the basal surface. This review will discuss the existing evidence that supports a role for neurons, from early stages of differentiation, in promoting progenitor cell fates in the vertebrates CNS, maintaining tissue homeostasis and regulating spatiotemporal patterning of neuronal differentiation through Delta-Notch signalling. Keywords: neuron; neurogenesis; neuronal apical detachment; asymmetric division; notch; delta; long and short range lateral inhibition 1. Introduction During the development of the central nervous system (CNS), neurons derive from neural progenitors and the Delta-Notch signaling pathway plays a major role in these cell fate decisions [1–4].

  • Sister Maura Therese Power, RSM Sisters of Mercy of Auburn, California
    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVE Vol 7 Father John E Boll No 2 Sister Maura Therese Power, RSM Sisters of Mercy of Auburn, California Maura Therese Power was born on October 8, 1937, in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. She and her twin brother John Joseph were born to Denis Power and Philomena Freeley. Two days later, Maura and John were baptized at the Cathedral in Killarney. In addition to her twin brother, she has an older brother Gerard and a younger sister Noreen. The last born child was Catherine “Riona” who died at the age of seven, having lived with Down syndrome. BEGINNING THE EDUCATION PROCESS All the children of the Power family began their education at age four at the Mercy Convent School in Killarney. After each child received First Holy Communion, the boys went to the Presentation Brothers School and the girls continued with the Mercy Sisters. FAMILY FORCED TO MOVE TO DUBLIN Maura’s father Denis worked in Hilliard’s Department Store. When labor disputes arose in the mid-1940s, Denis lost his job at the store and was forced to go to Dublin to look for another position. He secured a new job in Dublin and the family moved to Dublin in 1949. Since this was right after the end of World War II, life was difficult for everyone in Europe as well as the Power family in Ireland. After arriving in Dublin, the family settled in Clontarf along the coast in a new house that Maura’s father was able to purchase. She began secondary school with the Irish Sisters of Charity on King’s Inn Street.
