# Women on Web

Women on Web (WoW) is a Canadian non-profit organization that facilitates online access to medical abortion, known for its international online abortion service accessible in multiple countries. The organization was founded by Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, a Dutch physician, in 2005.
The Women on Web helpdesk provides information and support in 16 languages, including Arabic, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Turkish. Their medical team provides online medical consultations and facilitates the delivery of abortion pills by mail.
Self-managed medical abortion is done with mifepristone and misoprostol at home during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Mifepristone and misoprostol terminate the pregnancy by inducing an abortion that resembles a miscarriage with a 97% efficacy rate during the first 60 days of pregnancy. A 2008 study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology found that women are capable of self‐administering mifepristone and misoprostol at home without a doctor physically visiting them, provided proper information and instructions are given.

## Online abortion service

Women on Web has supported over 100,000 people to access safe abortion with pills. People can request the abortion pills via their website by filling out an online consultation. After the medical team has reviewed the consultation, their multi-lingual help desk will contact the person to inform about the next steps. Typically the abortion pills are shipped in 24-48 hours after the consultation has been submitted. The delivery of pills may take 1-3 weeks but in the US the delivery is 2-5 days.
Since February 2022 Women on Web has provided abortion pills in advance of unwanted pregnancies: "With the help of this new service, women can request abortion pills in advance and take them as soon as they discover they are pregnant. Women on Web's medical team will prescribe the abortion pills to people who are not yet pregnant but who anticipate that they may need them in the future".

## Research

Several scientific studies on the outcome of abortions and the experiences of women who have used the Women on Web service have proven that abortion via telemedicine is safe, highly effective and acceptable to women. This has been confirmed by the World Health Organization which has recognized that abortions done with the help of Women on Web are considered safe.
Women on Web has also researched data from women in countries where abortion is not legally restricted to highlight the barriers in access to safe abortion services. Research from countries such as the UK, the Netherlands, Hungary and the USA has shown that women face obstacles to access abortion services when these services are only available in clinics or hospitals.

## Censorship

Women on Web’s websites are censored in several countries, but there are ways to access their online consultation for abortions even if the main website is unavailable. Women on Web maintains several local language websites to circumvent online censorship and expand access to their service.
# Nurse Licensure Compact

The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement that allows mutual recognition (reciprocity) of a nursing license between member U.S. states ("compact states"). Enacted into law by the participating states, the NLC allows a nurse who is a legal resident of and possesses a nursing license in a compact state (their "home state") to practice in any of the other compact states (the "remote states") without obtaining additional licensure in the remote states. It applies to both registered and practical nurses and is also referred to as a multi-state license.
Per the NLC rules, nurses who are licensed in and legal residents of a compact state may not hold licenses from other compact states – that is, they can only hold one compact state license at a time, which must be from their home state, and a nurse temporarily practicing in a remote state retains their license in their home state. However, if a nurse changes their primary state of residence from one compact state to another compact state, they must transfer their license by applying for licensure by endorsement in the new home state; upon issuance of the new home state license, the license from the former home state is inactivated.
A license obtained in a compact state that is not one's state of legal residency is not recognized by the other compact members, so nurses who are legal residents of non-compact states must obtain licenses for each compact state in which they wish to practice.

## Participating states

As of March, 2025, the 41 NLC states are:
* Alabama
* Arizona
* Arkansas
* Colorado
* Connecticut (tentative implementation date: 10/01/25)
* Delaware
* Florida
* Georgia
* Idaho
* Indiana
* Iowa
* Kansas
* Kentucky

* Rhode Island
* South Carolina
* South Dakota
* Tennessee
* Texas
* Utah
* Vermont
* Virginia
* Washington
* West Virginia
* Wisconsin
* Wyoming
* The territory of the US Virgin Islands has passed NLC legislation and entered the compact, but is awaiting an implementation date
* Guam has a partial implementation, which allows nurses who hold active, multi-state NLC licenses to practice in Guam. Nurses who claim Guam as their primary place of residency, however, cannot apply for a multi-state license until the NLC is fully implemented.
Eight other states and the District Of Columbia all have active NLC bills. They are: Alaska, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan Minnesota, Nevada, New York, and Oregon.

# Exopher

Exophers are a type of membrane-bound extracellular vesicle (EV) that are released by budding out of cells into the extracellular space. Exophers can be released by neurons and muscle in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and also from murine cardiomyocytes. Exophers were first discovered in 2017 in the lab of Monica Driscoll at Rutgers University.
Exophers are notable for their large size, averaging approximately four microns in diameter, and they are able to expel whole organelles, such as mitochondria and lysosomes as cargo. An exopher can initially remain attached to the cell that produced it by a membranous filament that resembles a tunneling nanotube. Exophers share similarities with large oncosomes, but they differ in that they are produced by physiologically normal cells instead of aberrant cells associated with tumors.
Exopher production is thought to be a mechanism cells use to preserve homeostasis. Exophers are produced in response to numerous stressors including intracellular protein aggregation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), heat, osmotic hyertonicity, starvation, and even space flight. Mechanistically, exopher production has been found to depend on extracellular receptor signaling. Two MAPK pathways, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling have been implicated in exopher production in nematodes. Extracellular signaling receptor MERTK, expressed by cardiac-resident macrophages, is necessary for exopher clearance by phagocytosis in mouse-derived cardiac tissue.
Exophers may be relevant to disease. In mouse heart, eliminating macrophages or blocking their ability to engulf exophers lead to inflammation and ventricular dysregulation. Exophers may also promote pathological protein spreading in neurodegenerative diseases due to their ability to carry aggregated proteins outside of neurons, including human huntingtin protein.
# Pontrilas railway station

Pontrilas railway station is a former station which served the Herefordshire villages of Pontrilas and Ewyas Harold, and was a little distance from Grosmont, in Monmouthshire, Wales. It was located on the Welsh Marches Line between Hereford and Abergavenny. The Golden Valley Railway ran from here through to the Midland Railway line at Hay on Wye. The station is now a private house with attached self-catering holiday cottage created from the former waiting room.
In the 1860s, the Monnow Valley Railway was planned to link the mines of the Forest of Dean northwards to the Midlands, through a new line between Monmouth and Pontrilas. Little work was completed before the Panic of 1866 brought an end to this era of railway expansion.Parkhouse, Neil (2013). "8: Monmouth to Chepstow: The Wye Valley Line". West Gloucester & Wye Valley Lines. British Railway History In Colour. Vol. 1. Lydney: Lightmoor Press. p. 208. ISBN 9781899889 76 1.
The station closed in 1958 (see Pontrilas).
The remaining railway infrastructure includes the operating signal box. The sidings are still in use for infrastructure work and, less often, as a freight loop. It is at the end of the long climb from Abergavenny; freight and steam specials on this route provide a noisy spectacle coming through the station site. In the southbound direction the long section between Pontrilas and Abergavenny frequently results in trains being held here awaiting a clear run into Abergavenny.
The branch line junction and bridge, crossing the A465 onto the Golden Valley Railway, has been demolished in road widening - only the abutment to the bridge remains.
During the 1990s rail freight operated to this set of sidings, delivering wood to Pontrilas Sawmill. Plans were even mooted to open a short siding into it; this would have had to cross the A465 or replace the missing Golden Valley bridge so was unlikely. Freight traffic ended when British Rail closed its Freightliner service.
A large online model railway retailer - OnTracks.co.uk – was based in the business unit below the signal box. The unit is now occupied by Golden Valley Hobbies who operate a similar online store.
There are plans to open a new station for the village.
In March 2020, a bid was made to the Restoring Your Railway fund to get funds for a feasibility study into reinstating the station. This bid was unsuccessful.
In October 2023, the local authority said plans to reopen the station had been shelved as they claimed it was poor value for money. The local authority also claimed that most passengers using the station would have instead used another station or the local bus network.
Also October 2023, the local authority then took the opposite view that they could now make the plan work. The apparent contradiction likely due to media interpretations of differing opinions within the council
# Time to Die (Christine Ott album)

Time to Die is the fourth solo album by Christine Ott, and is described as the sequel to her second album Only Silence Remains released in 2016. The album is opening by a reference to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner; the title track pivots around that Rutger Hauer monologue, here narrated by Casey Brown on a particular combination of Ondes Martenot, synthesizers, timpani and tubular bells. The album is then developing very different orchestrations on the subject of death and rebirth. For the musician and director Fredo Viola; "The way I see the album is as a series of quite cinematic meditations on the theme of death and dying, changing prismatically, up to that incredibly delicate and beautiful conclusion.."

# Chemainus Secondary School

Not to be confused with Chemainus Community School
Chemainus Secondary is a public high school in Chemainus, British Columbia part of School District 79 Cowichan Valley. It was founded in 1953 and serves students from the area around Chemainus, Crofton, Thetis Island and southern Saltair, British Columbia.
There are 413 students enrolled for the 2023-24 academic session, the majority of whom are Caucasian, but with many nearby Indigenous Reserves there is a sizeable First Nations minority. Also, about 30-35 students from Asia, mainly Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong are enrolled.
From 2003 until 2005 the school went through a major renovation, updating many facilities. The library has been twice received Times Colonist Raise a Reader Grants. The first in 2008–9, for $1,400, was directed to Science reading materials. In 2009–10, the school received $1,200 for audio books and the companion novels.
