Israel must make every effort to limit civilian casualties. Hamas's leaders, especially those safely ensconced in Damascus, are unconcerned about their people's suffering — and masters at capitalizing on it.
Before the conflict spins out of control,
President Bush and Secretary of State
By Monday, some 350 Palestinians — mostly Hamas security forces — were reported killed. A Hamas security compound was among dozens of structures pummeled in the attacks, and the group's leaders were supposedly driven into hiding. The Israeli defense minister,
We hope he does not mean a ground war. That, or any prolonged military action, would be disastrous for Israel and lead to wider regional instability. Mr. Barak and Israel's foreign minister,
There can be no justification for Hamas's attacks or its virulent rejectionism. But others must also take responsibility for the current mess. Hamas never fully observed the cease-fire that went into effect on June 19 and Israel never really lived up to its commitment to ease its punishing embargo on Gaza. When the cease-fire ran out, no one, including the Bush administration, made a serious effort to get it extended.

With econveyance, The Firm Has A Much Improved Workflow. Thanks to the implementation of econveyance in our office we have reduced the amount of paper required in our residential mortgage and conveyance files by 60%. The training provided and the ongoing customer service and support received by my staff has been exceptional. We required a large volume of document customization which has been provided in a timely and efficient manner. The bottom line is the transition to econveyance was very smooth, our staff members are happy and the firm has a much improved workflow that has saved time and increased productivity.
Shelley Holden, Krushel Farrington
Very helpful desk. I am an experienced conveyancer who struggles with the many technology changes I have to face. I gave LDD a try and found that it wasn't exactly user friendly – specifically, the title search import was cumbersome. I eventually stopped using LDD because it wouldn't work on my computer and it wasn't worth the effort to figure out what the problem was. Since switching to econveyance I have realized that there is an effective, user friendly system out there. The ladies at the Very Helpful desk are wonderful, the title import process is streamlined and the libraries are up to date and painless to use. I'm glad I gave econveyance a shot, I love it and I want everyone to give it a try too!
Janice Singh, Buckley Hogan
We Save A Lot Of Time. We all really enjoy using econveyance. We save a lot of time generating the documents and we get faster and faster as we do more files. That's the fun part – you get to challenge yourself! This is a great program and everyone should be using it.
Richard Bell, Bell Alliance
The Customer Support Is Tremendous! We are a user of econveyance and are very pleased with the program. The customer support is tremendous. We are also very pleased with their timely response to our requests for customized documents. We really view Dye & Durham as a strategic partner who is assisting us in the use of technology to support our client focused real estate practice. We look forward to a long and mutually profitable relationship with Dye & Durham.
Anna Neilson, Dobko & Wheaton
Definitely worth switching to econveyance! I was initially interested in econveyance because of the Connections feature. Having the ability to share common information on a file is a huge advantage. The implementation and training I received from econveyance was excellent, it made changing programs easy. Once I started using econveyance I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the title search and encumbrances were compared to LDD; who I used previously. I have only dealt with the Very Helpful Desk a few times but when I did they were very quick and helpful. So far I am very happy with econveyance!
Laura Lang, Siebenga King
Support Staff Has Been Quick To Respond – Now that I am comfortable with the econveyance program, I am seeing the time savings benefit in my own day. I spend less time entering data and more time attending to the details of the file and the management of the office. The team of support staff has been quick to respond to all our questions. The support staff treat each call with the utmost importance and never make me feel rushed or a bother to them. They always take the time to explain and walk me through the task at hand. I appreciate the knowledge of the staff and how willing they are to share their knowledge with us. Looking back, training and implementing all in one week was successful due to the willingness of all parties to make it work.
Devlyn Winchester, Goluboff & Mazzei
I have been very satisfied with my experience with econveyance. The customer support team is excellent and their dedication in keeping all documents current and updated has made my job a lot easier. Without hesitation, I would recommend this software to anyone.

Looking back at when Emmet was Henry's age is already a little bit of a blur! Only two years and the little details about our days together have already started to slip. Sure I remember highlights, but we spent so much time together and it makes me so sad that I have already forgotten some of the little details. So I decided it would be fun to have my camera on hand today (when possible) and capture a day in our life currently. My goal was to take a photo an hour, though sometimes I took more than one and sometimes I missed an hour. But here are a few snippets from our day and what it is like with Emmet at 2.25 years and Henry at almost 4 months.
7:30am- Emmet is usually the alarm clock of the house. Henry sometimes wakes up a little before, like he did this morning, to nurse but usually we like to try to go back to sleep. This morning, however, I laid Henry back down and he cooed and giggled in his pack and play until we heard Emmet start chatting in his room. Despite how sleepy Emmet looks, he woke up really happy and immediately asked for his books down off of the shelf so that he could read them, and he read happily and played by himself for a little while (a rare occurrence in the morning!)
8:00am- after Henry has been fed and I've rounded everyone up, our first task of the day is usually to go out for a walk! We love exploring our neighborhood and starting the day with fresh air. I started morning walks on my maternity leave with Emmet and then restarted them after I quit my day job and have been keeping up with them almost every day since! It is my favorite way to clear my head for thing in the morning. Emmet usually eats his breakfast while we stroll and Henry just sits and stares. This morning however I let Emmet get out and run in hopes that he would take a good nap later!
9:00am- Some mornings this is when we start getting ready for our day, to go to playgroup or some other activity. But when we don't have anything planned we like to use this time to play and learn! We'll bake something, practice letters, numbers, colors, animals, etc. This morning I set up all of Emmet's animals and got out our book Animalium and we worked on animal names together. Meanwhile Henry worked on holding up his head and reaching out to grab the toys on his play gym from Lil' Peach E Design.
At one point I stepped into the other room and I heard Emmet saying "whoooooa." When I went to investigate I found him sitting on his bench pointing at his animals. They had all fallen down, which Emmet even told me with his own words.
10:00am-Emmet got bored of his animals and wanted to go outside so we stepped out to water the flowers. Emmet is in charge of the hose and watering the flowers.... which means he fills up the watering cans and mostly waters himself and the grass directly in front of the garden while I use the full watering can to actually water the flowers. Henry contributes by watering them with his spit bubbles. This morning we had to abruptly stop, because Emmet smacked the gutter with his watering can, thus stirring the wasps out of their nest, who chased us down and stung me. I freaked out because I am deathly afraid of wasps, scared the crap out of Emmet, and dragged a whimpy me, an oblivious Henry, and a crying Emmet back inside. Darn gutter wasps.
11:00am-12:30pm - Our usual time to fix and sit down to lunch together. We've been scraping things together lately rather than having elaborate lunches planned. Today Emmet ate his favorite Annie's mac and cheese and fed a little to his duck (and to Moose) too.
12:30-4:30pm- I refer to these hours as our "dark hours." It is the time that Emmet and Henry both usually take naps and have quiet time. No one is invited over, we don't make any noise, and I refuse to answer any phone calls.
Today Henry fell asleep first (win!) and then I read to Emmet and tucked him in. He played quietly in his room for a full hour and a half before playing at the door and telling me he went poo poo. I changed him and laid him back down and he slept until 4:30-5. It was AMAZING. Henry slept on and off, I watched the new season of Orange is the New Black and sipped on some toddy. These are the afternoons I love the most as I thrive on getting alone time during the day.
4:30pm - Emmet woke up happy as could be. He immediatey requested his books again and read them in his bed. He then asked for and played with his birds and his xylophone quietly in his room. Moose is usually nearby, and when Emmet is playing independently I try to get some chores or some shop work done. Today however, I just sat and watched him.
5:00- More play time! Our bed is one of Emmet's favorite places to play! We called a my sister and our friend Natalie and curled up with his birds to play for a little while.
6:00pm - Waiting for Dada to come home. 6:00 can sometimes be the hardest as we spend a lot of it waiting. Today was special though, as Dave came home a little earlier so that we could pile in the car to go to The Breadbasket with his family. Emmet sat and pointed out all of his family members, then played with his car on the floor, poked a few dead flies, and gave everyone at the table 2-3 fist bumps.
After dinner we met at the park to swing and play soccer with his cousins and Emmet was finally up late enough to catch fireflies for the first time ever! Usually we have a strict 8:00 bedtime, but sometimes we make exceptions.

The Knot (KNOT) Gets Ready To Take The Hammer: A $4 Stock?November 5, 2008 by Douglas A. McIntyre
Online wedding-planning company The Knot (KNOT) has not be doing well recently. When it announces earnings later this week, it may be doing a lot worse.
In the second quarter, net income was $2.3 million down from $4.8 million in the same period last year. Revenue was flat at a little over $28 million. Deutsche Bank and Oppenheimer took a dim view of the numbers and said so.
A look at analysts' estimates for Q3 shows that the low end of the range for EPS in a loss of $.03 on revenue of $24.9 million. The firm's online advertising and sponsorship businesses could be badly hurt by the downturn in online marketing sales.
In last year's Q3, The Knot had revenue of $25 million and made $.09 a share. A loss would be quite a comedown.
The CEO of The Knot, David Liu, made $810,000 last year, $367,000 in base salary. That base moved to $370,000. In exchange, he has presided over a company which has watched it stock drop from a 52-week high of $19.32 to $5.90. Nice work.
If the company comes in at the low end of estimates, it is a $4 stock.

New Year, New Name!
Say hello to MHA Carpenter Box!
You may have noticed a few changes on our website in the New Year! We are very excited to announce that as of January 2017, Carpenter Box has started to trade as MHA Carpenter Box. If you are not already aware, we helped to found our association MHA back in 2010 and since then it has gone from strength to strength. Although it's a small change, our new name allows us to demonstrate that whilst we are an independent firm, we have a massive national resource at our fingertips.
Our new brand identity also reflects the way in which our business has developed over the past few years. For the first time, we will include the words 'Business Advisers' as a descriptor. Whilst we remain Chartered Tax Advisers, we think it's more important to say loud and clear that our mission is to help our clients increase their profitability by giving good tax and business advice. This is what we have been doing for many years and is why the firm has grown to a headcount of over 140. The refresh of our branding is then more of a catch up than a departure. The new logo just means that what you see is what you get!
So what is MHA?
MHA is an association of some of the best independent regional UK accountancy firms. Founded in 2010, the concept works on the principle that the member firms knowledge and resource share at every level. The combined turnover of MHA puts the group within the top 15 UK accountancy groupings. But more importantly, MHA provides an amazing knowledge resource which every member benefits from.
MHA has established national sector teams. This allows us to deliver advice tailored specifically to the needs of a business operating in a specific area. This approach is much more granular and is aimed at giving industry-specific advice rather than a general accountancy and tax service. Being a part of MHA, therefore, gives our clients a totally scalable solution, from 50 locations across England, Scotland and Wales; MHA Carpenter Box is capable of delivering advice and support whatever the size of the client.
Best wishes for 2017
So Happy New Year from all of us at MHA Carpenter Box! We look forward to a healthy and prosperous 2017 and continuing to help our clients grow to their full potential.

With concern over security growing and the cost of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia mounting, the Olympic Committee has taken the unprecedented step and decreed that the Olympic torch will be made out of construction paper, as well will the resting place of the Olympic flame.
"This should reduce security concerns on several fronts," said an Olympic official, who asked that his name be kept out of the press until the official announcement is made. "It will also be lighter, easier to protect, and it will never go out. The only thing we have to fear is a sudden bucket of water of freak thunderstorm." The official went on to say that the cost savings we have an immediate positive impact on the bottom line. "And if it works well enough for the Olympic flame, we may just start building our future Olympic villages out of cardboard, crepe paper, and the like."

Montanore Minerals and the State Department of Environmental Quality have filed notices that they intend to appeal a July district court ruling that blocked the controversial copper and silver mine under the Cabinet Mountains.
Monday's filing by DEQ and last month's notice by the Montanore Minerals Corp. don't state the reason for the appeal to the Montana Supreme Court of what environmental groups called "a big win" in the fight to prohibit development of the mine in northwestern Montana.
But Luke Russell, a spokesperson for Montanore, said that generally they believe Lewis and Clark District Court Judge Kathy Seeley erred in her ruling.
"We will be setting forth the arguments on error briefings in 2020," Russell said. "Since it's in litigation we would rather put our arguments before the court" than outline them now.
"We believe errors were made, as does DEQ."
Rebecca Harbage, a spokesperson for DEQ, agreed with Montanore that errors were made, but diverges from the company as to what those mistakes encompassed.
"We … will lay out the basis for the appeal when we file our initial briefs," Harbage said late Wednesday. "The court hasn't laid out the schedule, and we can't comment on pending litigation."
Katherine O'Brien, an attorney with EarthJustice in Bozeman, which successfully sued the state over the mine's discharge permit, said she wasn't informed of the reasoning behind the appeal.
"But this doesn't come as a surprise," O'Brien said on Wednesday.
You have free articles remaining.
Earthjustice, along with Earthworks, the Montana Environmental Information Center, and Save our Cabinets, had argued that Montana DEQ illegally re-issued a water pollution discharge permit in 2004 for the proposed Montanore mine. The groups claimed that reliance on a 27-year-old permit would allow unnecessary pollution of Libby Creek and didn't comply with current laws that better protect Montana's streams.
The Montanore Project involves tunneling for copper and silver in the mountains between Libby and the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area. The ore body they're seeking is under the wilderness area, while all of the above-ground work that has been done is outside of the boundary.
Mining operations were expected to last for 16 to 20 years, with the removal of 20,000 tons of material anticipated at peak operations, followed by 20 years of closure and post-closure work. The mine anticipated employing 450 people at full productions, and is being proposed by the Montanore Minerals Corp., whose parent company is Hecla Mining Co.
In her July 24 ruling, Judge Seeley wrote that the DEA's re-issuance of the discharge permit to Hecla and Montana was based in part on "arbitrary and capricious decisions" and violates the federal Clean Water Act and the Montana Water Quality Act. She vacated the permit, and remanded the matter to DEQ for further action consistent with her decision.
Noranda Minerals Corp. first sought a permit for the Montanore Mine in 1989, but ceased construction of an adit in 1991 based on elevated nitrates in surface water, coupled with low mineral prices. Yet the company continued with the permitting process and in 1992 its petitions to "change in Quality of Ambient Waters" was issued by the Board of Health and Environmental Sciences, which was the predecessor to DEQ.
The state issued a Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to Noranda in 1997, which allowed it to discharge water used in the mining process to groundwater and Libby Creek. In 2002, after Noranda ceased exploratory mining operations and allowed most of the permits associated with the project to expire or terminate, the discharge permit remained in effect by DEQ to oversee reclamation, not to regulate mining, according to Seeley's ruling.
Hecla eventually acquired the project through a series of trades and sales. Seeley agreed with the environmental groups that DEQ unlawfully relied on an outdated pollution authorization, which had been issued in 1992 to a different company for a different project.
She added that restrictions on degradation of high-quality waters have changed since the 1992 authorization. In particular, the 1992 permit would have allowed Noranda to discharge mine wastewater and contaminated storm water into multiple streams that provide habitat for bull trout, which were listed as threatened in 1998 under the Endangered Species Act.
Some of the potential contaminants from the proposed mine include copper, manganese, zinc, ammonia and sediments.

You're looking for the perfect gift, something that says who you are and where you're going as the world's second-biggest economy. Sure, the silk tapestries with embroidered kittens were a hit in the past but there must be something else in the diplomatic goodie bag short of a mating pair of giant pandas.
That was no doubt the problem confronting organizers of President Xi Jinping's trip to Argentina last weekend.
China has been working on a charm offensive, aiming, in Xi's words, to promote China as a "civilized country featuring rich history, ethnic unity and cultural diversity, and as an oriental power with good government, developed economy, cultural prosperity, national unity and beautiful mountains and rivers".
That's a lot to say in one gift so what to give that wraps it all up?
For its part, Argentina went with a national soccer jersey with Xi's name on it. That one ticked a few boxes — it's personal, it's practical and it doesn't take up much room in the suitcase.
In the end, China plumped for some DVDs, the first time something so "high-tech" had been chosen for such a starring state role, according to China Daily.
On a trip to Argentina's Congress, Xi presented Vice President Amado Boudou with copies of Zhao Baogang's TV series Beijing Youth and To Elderly With Love and 2011′s low-budget domestic hit film Love Is Not Blind by Teng Huatao.
The Hollywood Reporter says Beijing Youth "tells the story of four young cousins and their complicated love lives, with the action veering between melodrama and all-out bromance"; To Elderly With Love looks at the travails of aging; and romcom Love Is Not Blind follows one heartbroken woman on her journey to find the meaning of love.
It's no doubt enough viewing to tide Argentina's elected representatives over between congressional sessions but what do the DVDs say about "high-tech" China? Maybe it would have been better to go with a simple gift card.

April 25 was World Malaria Day, and groups around the world marked the day with celebrations of the outstanding achievements made in the effort to end malaria. "If you look at the malaria landscape over the last 15 years, most African countries have made substantial gains and reduced the burden of infections by 40 percent and deaths by 60 percent," says Kesete Admasu, chief executive officer of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership to End Malaria. However, according to the 2017 World Malaria Report, there were 5 million more cases in 2016 than the year prior.
The theme of this World Malaria Day was "Are we ready to beat malaria?" and many leaders, programs, and partners answered by announcing renewed commitments, noting that although ending malaria is an ambitious goal it is also achievable.
Below, check out the celebrations in countries where MACEPA works.
World Malaria Day was commemorated in Ethiopia with a range of events in Hawasa City this year. Over 150 participants, consisting of malaria experts, policymakers, researchers, professors, programmers, senior malaria professionals, journalists, and communities drawn from all corners of the country came together to demonstrate their commitment to ending malaria for good.
Pictured above: At a program review meeting in Hawassa, Ethiopia, the National Malaria Control Program and partners presented and discussed achievements and challenges in the fight against malaria locally. The meeting helped to renew the commitment of all parties involved.

Here, Dr. Abraham Alaro, head of Ethiopia's Southern Nation Nationalities and People Regional Health Bureau, welcomes guests to the World Malaria Day event celebrating Jara's progress.

The main World Malaria Day event in Ethiopia was held in Hawassa Stadium with entertainment that included the federal police marching band, cultural dancing and musical performances, songs by schoolchildren, question and answer contests for kids, and sports competitions including soccer and footraces. Attendees of the WMD event could also opt to participate in a "Test and Treat" event hosted by PATH MACEPA, in collaboration with Ethiopia's Federal Ministry of Health.
Certificates of recognition and awards presented to senior and retired malaria professionals who made significant contributions in the fight against malaria in the region; and to partners who have contributed to the national malaria prevention and control program and winners of the various contest groups. The trophies and other awards were handed over by Dr. Tsigereda Kifle, Deputy Director General of EPHI, Mr. Aknaw Kawza, Deputy Head of the SNNPR Regional Health Bureau, and Mrs. Hiwot Solomon, National Malaria Control and Elimination Program Team Leader.
Representatives from the Senegal's malaria program (Programme National de Lutte Contre le Paludisme), partners, community champions, school children, and more attended World Malaria Day celebrations in Senegal this year. Over 1,500 were in attendance for the festivities over the weekend!
During the ceremony, Minister of Health Abdoulaye Diouf Sarr launched PACTE (Paludisme A'ttaqué à léchelle des Communautés territoires Emergents), a new strategy to increase community engagement by daily action. He also reaffirmed Senegal's commitment to eliminate malaria by 2030 during the ceremony.
Pictured below: The PNLP leader (left) accepts an award from Sarr (right).
Said PNLP coordinator Doudou Sene: "Malaria is still in five regions and its elimination is very possible before 2030. It is necessary to continue the fight to sensitize more of the population on the behaviors to face the disease."
In Seattle, a Lunch & Learn panel was held at PATH headquarters with several malaria leaders across the portfolio. PATH's Jeff Bernson, Gonzalo Domingo, Ashley Birkett, and Kammerle Schneider shared highlights from some momentous events in malaria held earlier this month: the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria and Malaria Summit in Dakar and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London.
During its World Malaria Day celebrations, Zambia embraced its commitment to eliminating malaria by 2021. Along with traditional dances, parades, and music, the World Malaria Day event hosted in Kabwe included an exhibition tent in which various organizations and partners presented their innovative tools and strategies for ending the disease in Zambia. Along with many representatives from the National Malaria Elimination Centre and government, Minister of Health Chitalu Chilufya toured the exhibits and engaged with malaria partners about their work.
During the ceremony, speeches from the USAID mission director, representatives from the UN/WHO, the minister of health, and others applauded the massive role that Zambia has played in eliminating malaria in the region and remarked on the need for sustained commitment going forward. The minister also unveiled four new strategic documents (the National Communications Strategy for Malaria Elimination, the Business Plan for Malaria Elimination, Guidelines for Malaria Diagnostics and Treatment, and the Insecticide-treated Net Guidelines) and presented awards for high performing districts in the region.
In the news
An article in Time Magazine reviews the three things the world needs to do in order to "make malaria a memory": (1) develop and apply new mapping technologies, (2) bring together unusual funding partners to innovate, and (3) target interventions to the places most at risk of malaria.
Dr. Yakou Dieye, the scientific coordinator of PATH MACEPA Senegal made The New York Times this week. The article describes how partnerships between the government, PATH, and the Senegalese Sugar Company have resulted in a significant decrease in malaria. The company saw a sharp fall in absenteeism and in the town of Richard Toll there were fewer than 200 malaria cases in 2015, down from more than 1,300 in 2012.
Also from The New York Times this World Malaria Day was a photo essay from Nicholas Kristof and Jessia Ma. Can you guess what the deadliest animal in the world is?
Harald Nusser, head of Novartis Social Business, discusses the next chapter of malaria elimination in Project Syndicate. Nusser argues that we need to arm ourselves against the rising threat of drug and insecticide resistance by investing in research and development for next-generation antimalarial treatments. This comes after Novartis announced it will invest over $100 million in antimalarial R&D over the next five years, to help contain emerging resistant strains of the disease. For more from Novartis, check out CEO Vas Narasimhan's piece in The Wall Street Journal or an interview in Devex with David Hughes, senior global program head of anti-infectives at Novartis.
With more than an estimated 406,000 cases in 2017, crisis-ridden Venezuela is seeing the largest global increase of malaria—69 percent compared to the year before. "In the Americas, it's not just Venezuela. We're actually reporting increases in a number of other countries. Venezuela, yes this is a significant concern, malaria is increasing and it's increasing in a very worrying way," said Pedro Alonso, director of WHO's Global Malaria Program. (Reuters)

What's going on at the Thai-Myanmar border? A lot. Check out this photo essay by physician Alex Kumar who visited a research site where genetic mutations in the parasite causing the disease have rendered treatment ineffective. A recent study in Eastern Burma published in The Lancet suggests that dosing whole populations in malaria "hotspots" regardless of whether people have symptoms or are healthy has proven effective in tackling the disease in Southeast Asia. Researchers say that this strategy could be one way to outpace the spread of drug resistant malaria. (The Guardian)
Most African countries have made substantial progress in combating malaria, but the continent's malaria efforts remain heavily reliant on donors. Malaria drains Africa of an estimated $12 billion a year, and $24.5 billion in total is still needed to fight the disease. (Deutsche Welle)
The plant-based production of artemisinin sometimes fails to meet demand as the shrub just doesn't produce enough of the needed chemical in its leaves. Research published in Molecular Plant shows that genetically modifying the plant to produce higher levels of artemisinin could help meet global demand for the malaria drug. (BBC)
"Raise a G&T to fight Malaria" is the slogan for a campaign by Fever Tree, a tonic producer. The explanation: "the quinine that gives tonic water its gentle bitterness was also an important anti-malarial ingredient, used for centuries to ward off this deadly disease." Of course, the campaign does not suggest replacing anti-malaria tablets with gin and tonic but instead encourages gin and tonic drinkers to share their pictures on Instagram or Twitter (using the tag @FeverTreeMixers and hashtag #MalariaMustDie). Fever Tree pledges to donate £5 to Malaria No More UK for each photo posted. (Forbes)

a really cute visual novel that i found recently. Here is the summary from the website:
"The main character, Takiguchi Ryo, is a genius percussionist in high school who had a bright future ahead of him.
But he loses his left arm in an accident.
The accident causes him to throw away his dream to become a percussionist like his father, and he loses all hope in life.
Ryo tries to abandon music, but the girls around him encourage him to take up music once again.
Will he be able to find hope in his life and a passion for music in spite of his handicap…?"
It is a really cute visual novel. There are 4 paths so there is a lot of re playability. Its also pretty long.

December 1, 2018 (JUBA) South Sudan peace implementation monitory body has launched an investigation into the alleged rape of 125 women and girls in Rubkona area in the northern part of the country.
The sexual assault announced by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) on Friday occurred between 19 and 29 November 2018 in a violation of the revitalized peace agreement which was signed on 12 September and after extensive awareness campaign to brief the local forces on the need to cease hostilities.
"CTSAMVM is aware of recent reports of 125 cases of sexual violence allegedly carried out by men in uniform in the Bentiu-Rubkona area. CTSAMVM has opened an investigation into these reports and intends to report their findings in as timely a manner as possible," said a statement issued on Saturday.
The statement urged the parties to the revitalised pact to respect the commitments they made under ceasefire agreement and refrain from any prohibited acts.
"CTSAMVM also urges the Parties to investigate any cases of SGBV (Sexual and Gender-Based Violence) as required by the agreement under article 220.127.116.11 and hold to account those under their command who may have committed such acts," stressed the statement.
Until now there is no indication on who committed the sexual abuse. Also, neither the government or the opposition armies issued a statement condemning the rape of 125 women.
MSF said some victims are girls under 10 years old and others are women older than 65. Even pregnant women have not been spared from these brutal attacks.

Leo Corredor Portfolio Look 2
Look by Leo Corredor
- Use a wide-tooth comb to tease the roots to create the volume needed, spray Sunlight Styling Spray all over.
- Spread your fingers wide & give the hair a good tousle! Clip the hair away from the occipital bone & up, including the front.
- Grip the hair, shake it, twist & pin it. Make sure to follow the head shape & look to pull a few random pieces out as you go.
- Connect each side making sure you have the right balance in shape & texture. Then pull the crown into the shape & give it one more sizable tousle.
- Finish the look with Sunlight Finishing Spray MAX all over & then a combination of Acacia BB Cream & Silk Nectar Serum to bring the texture out in the tendrils that were pulled out.

At its heart the IndieWeb is a bunch of people taking back ownership and control of their web content from companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Medium and Google. Some of these folks are programmers who are making the task a bit easier for the rest of us, to the point that it is now easier to adopt this approach than it was a few years ago.
I am not a coder, so my focus is on keeping control of my web content and making it accessible. Part of this task involves avoiding practises which work against the principles of owning my own data, making information visible to people in priority to machines, ensuring a good user experience, documenting what I am doing, and building a site which will last for the long term. The term used to describe the things which impede the IndieWeb is 'anti-patterns'.
Antipatterns are antithetical to a diverse and growing indieweb, often times the opposite, or at best a distraction from indieweb principles and building-blocks, yet persistently repeated despite their tendency to waste time and cause failures. (IndieWeb Wiki — Antipatterns)
For any content you care about it, don't put the primary copy in a database. Databases are all a pain to maintain, and more fragile than the file system. (IndieWeb Wiki — Antipatterns)
As a generalisation I would agree with this, but databases exist because they make accessing information much easier than digging through a folder full of files. One of my longer term goals is to transition my site to being a static site using a platform such as Jekyll but the learning curve is fairly steep for that and my current goal is to establish a good writing habit so WordPress suits me as I know it well. What I am doing is exporting my WordPress content as Markdown files so they can easily be integrated into other systems if necessary, and these are still readable outside of the database.
This is what started me thinking about these anti-patterns, I want to include rel=me tags for links to my Facebook, Twitter and micro.blog accounts as a way to verify that I'm the same person writing on all of them. What I was going to do is include these in the
Invisible metadata is the general antipattern of storing information that is user-relevant in places users won't see (i.e. users aren't expected to "View Source" on every page). (IndieWeb Wiki — Antipatterns)
section of each page but that violates the principle of making metadata visible to humans so I'm having to reconsider my approach to this. Overall I agree with making information visible to people, this also seems to be something Google takes into account with it's search engine assessments of what a web page is about. For years the SEO world has been stuffing keywords into meta tags in attempts to game the search rankings when what really matters is the content that users can see and interact with.
A silo, or web content hosting silo, in the context of the IndieWeb, is a centralized web site typically owned by a for-profit corporation that stakes some claim to content contributed to it and restricts access in some way. (IndieWeb Wiki – Silo)
I am actively avoiding the use of silos such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. I do currently have some stuff located primarily in these sites but am in the process of manual transferring it to this blog. Most of what is in Twitter I don't care about, I'm working on transferring my Facebook status updates now (this will take a while), and have recently decided to host my CV/resume on my own site in preference to LinkedIn due to the use of devious techniques by LinkedIn to gain access to email address books and generally be creepy. There are some things such as 'likes', retweets and reposts that I don't value enough to clutter my own site with.

Thomas is a Paine in the Ass!
The Madness of King George the III.
How much of the total national economy was devoted to fighting the wars during his reign? How many of his subjects became indentured and sent to the colonies? Seems as if his subjects were treated like currency to serve a wider and more wicked purpose other than that of the Monarch. Who's soul authority is supposed to be divinely inspired to serve the well being of everyone. All well and good this British constitution derived from Magna Carta. Only, it became infiltrated by those who quantify everything.
Who holds their covenant of the 'divine'? One needs to look back into the annals of history...
18th century North Americans read their history avidly and took special interest in the history of Roma. They read these opposition writers with great attention to detail.
Money was the problem in Britain. At home, The Kings authority was limited by the glorious revolution of 1688. Redefining the power a monarch can hold....How to pay for the wars in the colonies. The King did have more power in defining who held his authority. I'm thinking old mad George sold himself into slavery.
Who were the buyers? The Money Changers...and they wanted everything:
The People - The other side of history: Unknown men and women who drive the nation forward. The soldiers, the laborers, the slaves, criminals and all the living life styles and religions inherent upon them all from above...
Pilgrims and refugees....sent out to colonize and spread the threads forward. Intravenous in its artificial nature; designed to siphon the treasure back to the greedy source of despotic control. What is this treasure spent on? More wars, more controversy, more theatre to bring us all to the mouth of Chronos!
Using tools in common law such as writs of assistance...
James Otis argued against these writs of assistance. The merchants hired him as their lawyer to defend against the search and seizure of their vessels. They were, after all, smugglers. They knew it and Otis represented their interests against seizure warrants. This is a great spark in the revolutionary process that followed.
Writs of assistance were court orders that authorized customs officers to conduct general (non-specific) searches of premises for contraband. The exact nature of the materials being sought did not have to be detailed, nor did their locations.
The writs were one of a list of grievances that the Americans harbored against the Crown and contributed to the process of changing loyal colonists into advocates for independence.
After the 7 years war with the French all the booty and land grants were granted mostly to British officers according to rank and privilege. The higher the rank the better the privilege. This gentry of British system of control had their own system of prejudice percolating. Colonial officers and low rankers were treated less than a citizen of the Empire. It made the colonists feel neglected by the British constitution. Prejudice for ones own kind. Or jealousy...whatever! It's a secular division from within.
Earlier, the Spanish displayed these tendencies towards their own kind as well. Example being a pure blood Spaniard born in the mother country was superior in nature to a full blooded Spaniard born in Mexico.
Is this a behavior one should look up to as an example of being human? I think not!
How does this change our understanding of the American Revolution? Essentially, the merchants were breaking the transportation laws and smuggling goods without paying duties. Pirates hacking the system! They were fighting the bigger pirates - King Georgies crazy cronies: The madmen who solicited contracts with the moneylenders and commercial enterprises.
The press seemed to enjoy a freer sense of discourse at the time. Most men of property were quite educated with the ideas presented from earlier times in history. Benjamin Franklin took advantage of this freedom. Silence Dogood as an example. With his writing and printing knowledge he became quite formidable in presenting new ideas to the public. Publishing all sorts of articles and denunciations at the powers of the day. His power, in time, grew to such an extent that he himself could and did control certain publications. After all, he was the Post Master General. A perfect office to hold for a publisher! At first, he was a British citizen through and through....the system did work. It worked great before the debts of the Crown became too overwhelming for the King.
Sorting out the logic and searching for order and revenue. This brings us to the idea of sacred property rights. The colonies sure did have a lot to say on that subject. But, we'll get to that...
First of all, the British parliament passes a proclamation in 1763 declaring a halt on all migration west of the Appalachian Mountains. Thus, killing any chance for squatters or groups of people to go in and take over land from the Indians, or anywhere else, without Crown or parliamentary approval. There's a nifty little clause in there that seems to indicate no one else may deal with the indigenous tribes but for a Crown appointed official. This implies 'ownership' by the Crown even before anyone else has a chance to gain control. The Crown issues trade licenses and warrants to set a tone indicating that the west shall not be a refuge for scoundrels.
Then, a year later, the sugar and currency acts became policy. Sugar, molasses, run, textiles, etc. all had their taxes lowered across the board. Plus, only British ships could be used for transportation. Parliament wanted to cut the smugglers and American shipping out of the picture. The currency act really began a flow of cash for Britain in that it required all funds be shipped to England. On top of all that, these acts also empowered the British Navy to confiscate any and all shipping interests that broke these new policies. If any colonist wanted their goods back they had to travel to Nova Scotia for a tribunal to be heard. How many of those colonists could afford such a journey after having been 'legally raped' of all resources to defend their 'rights'? The authority for these deeds was already in affect with those 'writs of assistance' already mentioned earlier. These new acts gave more teeth to the burgeoning concepts being developed for control and of ultimate corruption....
Lessons learned from the stamp and sugar acts....
After repealing the Stamp Act Parliament decided to pass the Declaratory Act. This is a wicked one because it effectively puts Parliament in control over all colony policy. This leaves the colonies under the net of Parliament. Even unto having any direct redress or appeal to the king himself.
The colonies didn't pay too much attention to this act....being only concerned with the economy. After the Stamp and sugar act debacles something had to be done.
But, there were some who saw this as a prelude to bigger things on the way...taxes! More taxes with bigger teeth to collect it.
More Paper!
Paper - all kinds of paper...
This would be known as the Townshend Duties.
Remember those writs of assistance? This gives power to the enforcers to crush all opposition and feel justified doing it.
All of these acts and policy changes started to stack up. Like making music one note at a time. Stacking the notes to make chords to create lawful Harmony. Harmony for who?
The melody is sounding chromatically ominous....
The rhythm of revolution began to quicken....from the hidden faith of the founding fathers
Who is still hiding in the background behind these machinations of policy?
Somehow, somewhere, someway, we've all forgotten the reasons we were fighting the tyranny in the first place. This pyramid of power from Britain became too large to control from one place and the elite started bickering. So, its essence started to break up into competing groups of control. The Crown of Britain and all it stood for seemed to be breaking apart forever. But, no! There was a bigger plan in the making....
Behind the veil of veils....
The American Elite wanted to control their own destiny! Only, they and the British powerhouse are still NOT the true 'elite'...
Money, honey. Who loves the bunny!
Down the hole we go....
Lo, lo, lo
This video details the more esoteric nature of ideas concerned in American History. It's well produced and researched, dealing with the religious attitudes and beliefs of the time. These are important factors to consider in discerning the social structures that built our nation.
The Crown was used by others to collect a debt! That's nothing new. Wars cost money. The invisible war runs deep!

The model ADM will be stocking is the POSITAL UCD-EC00B-1416-HFS0-PRM
POSITAL's EtherCAT encoders are available in blind hollow or solid shaft as magnetic encoders, which are very durable. Versions using optical technology are also available. Whilst they offer a high level of accuracy, it should be noted that they are not as robust the magnetic encoders. Therefore, ADM will be stocking the magnetic absolute encoders.
Real -time EtherCAT is argued to be the fastest industrial communications protocol in the world, and reliable high-speed communication is very important in motion control or robotics applications.
Beckhoff Automation have recently endorsed POSITAL's EtherCAT encoders and have incorporated them into their demo / training room. Beckhoff where the original developers of the EtherCAT technology.
For further information of POSITAL EtherCAT Encoders call ADM on 1300 236 467

LONDON ISSUE 545 Sep 2015
Graham Precey Photography London photographers
"I'm very much still a food and drink photographer but increasingly I get asked to produce more and more videos as well as direct. I started off working in video so in many ways I'm coming full circle.
Featured in this Showcase is a small collection of recent videos I produced myself with my small team, under the banner of 'videography'.
The two videos for Budweiser Budvar were shot recently at their brewery in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. The idea was to project the mystique and the 'alchemy' of the business.
The video for BD Foods is a timelapse set to dramatic music. The idea was to emphasise the sheer bloody hard work it takes to continuously produce high quality food accompaniments. Sounds very boring but I think you'll find the video interesting.
"The Cocktail Bar" was for World Duty Free, shot on location at Home House here in London. The final video was for 'Baker of the Year' Dan DeGustibus. His enthusiasm and passion for his business is unparalleled and we hope it shows in our video."

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education is essential to the development of Sub- Saharan Africa. Robotics in the High School education system is one of the best ways to get students interested in pursuing future education in a STEM field. This project involved developing an open and free robotics course that incorporates videos, sample problems, surveys, labs, and quizzes to help developing countries teach robotics. During the IQP our current modules were tested with both Sub-Saharan African teachers and United States High School students. In addition to the course, a low cost robotics kit was designed and built.

Oh man, it's happening.
In just the past two days we've turned off the swamp cooler at night, I've noticed the change of the angle of the sun, and Monday is D-day: the first day of school.
Although all of this signals the end of summer and our time of being foot-loose and flip-flop free, the harvest season reminds me that it's time to take care of myself, to ignore the deadlines, the commitments and the easy way out.
Fall reminds me to take advantage of the harvest and eat fresh foods—either from the garden or locally grown.
It reminds me to take advantage of the cooler temps and work out my crampy hips—thanks to long hours in my computer chair —with evening or early morning walks—and hopefully soon, 5K runs.?,!??/!!*continue to the recipe… about Friday Faves plus Grilled and Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe

Worcester, Mass. – Visiting Clark University shot a blistering 57 percent from the field in the first half enroute to a 66-54 win over Worcester-area rival Anna Maria on Tuesday afternoon in non-league men's basketball action.
Game Information
Score: Clark University 66, Anna Maria 54
Records: Clark University 3-1, Anna Maria 0-5
Location: Fuller Activities Center, Paxton, Mass.
The Lead:
The game was tied early on at 11-11 when the Cougars surged ahead for good with a 10-0 run that featured four points from David Mercier (Milford, Mass.) and baskets from Adam Converse (Woodstock, Conn.) and Brendan Kittredge (Clinton, Mass.).
That lead grew to 14 at 34-20 when Joe Atkinson (Milford, Mass.) connected on a three-pointer with 4:32 to go in the half and the Scarlet and White went into halftime ahead by 16 following an inside hoop from Lamar Berk (Saint Augustine, Fla.) with 30 seconds left in the half.
Anna Maria tried to stay within arm's reach as Tanner Jakola scored and Bobby Perette knocked down a three-pointer but with less than ten minutes to play Clark had actually increased its halftime edge when a Luca McCormick (Bradenton, Fla.) three-pointer made the score 53-36.
Clark's advantage maxed out at 19 on a couple of occasions, including on a Mercier hoop and again on free throws from McCormick.
The AMCATS made a push and got as close as 12 following free throws from Mike Rapoza with a little more than four minutes to play, but the Cougars made enough free throws of their own down the stretch and Josh St. Fort (Milton, Mass.) sealed the contest with his layup with less than a minute to play.
Inside The Numbers:
Clark forced 17 Anna Maria turnovers, which they converted into 16 points and even though they missed nine free throws, they still held a 16-6 edge over the AMCATS from the charity stripe.
Atkinson paced the Scarlet and White attack with 13 points and ten rebounds, while both McCormick and Mercier each totaled 11 points and Kittredge contributed nine points and six rebounds off the bench.
Perette finished with a team-best 13 points for the hosts, who got a monster double-double of 12 points a 20 rebounds from Rapoza – just a freshman.
A Special Moment:
Prior to the game the AMCATS and the Cougars took a minute to remember a beloved member of both the Anna Maria College community and the Clark University communities. Pat Oroszko, who passed away over the summer after a valiant battle with cancer, is a Clark graduate and served as an assistant coach at both institutions. The teams both wore shirts dedicated to his name that presented the hashtag: #foreverremembered during warm-ups and the Clark coaching staff wore them throughout the game.
Up Next:
The Cougars are off until next Tuesday, November 29 when they visit Connecticut College for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

Video - David Brin's Existence official book-trailer and talk at Google
A fascinating picture of a possible tomorrow. Is survival in the cold universe even possible?
David Brin is among the foremost respected sci-fi authors. In his 2012 novel "Existence" he explores a society shaped by ubiquitous surveillance - a scenario he already imagined in "The Transparent Society" - and where social media groups also play an important role. "Existence" has been his first novel after ten years of absence. The book follows multiple plots, in a world where AIs have become everyday tools, and virtual and augmented reality is constantly projected on top of the physical world, and viewable through glasses and implants. The Internet has so evolved in the "Mesh", a collection of hundreds of VR info-levels. But here's the official book-trailer - a 3-minute preview offering glimpses and scenes from the novel - in the very first part of Brin's "Talks at Google" video - also recommended!
Gerald Livingston is an orbital garbage collector. For a hundred years, people have been abandoning things in space, and someone has to clean it up. But there's something spinning a little bit higher than he expects, something that isn't on the decades' old orbital maps. An hour after he grabs it and brings it in, rumors fill Earth's infomesh about an "alien artifact."

Umm, well standalone headsets like the oculus go are actually cheaper than buying a headset AND the cost of a smartphone. If you think about it, a Samsung/iPhone is gonna set you back a few hundred at least.
Oculus Go FTW! 😝

Been getting a few pokes the past week or so asking when I'm going to do some walk thrus on these projects I mentioned a while back. Well — life's been busy. I'm desperately trying to catch up on Knights of the Dinner Table and knock two issues out before Origins in three weeks.
Next week I'll be at the Palladium Open House in Michigan as a guest with my wife, Barbara. (very much looking forward to that).
Anyway, yeah — Haven't had a LOT of time to sculpt except for some small cargo/good pieces where and there during breaks. I managed to do these on Sunday…
A wooden chest, a woven basket and an ale cask. Oh and a little amphora in the foreground.
I'm really just practicing using Green Stuff as a sculpting medium. It's very different than working with Sculpy. Both have their advtanges and disadvantages but I'm really enjoying the mean green.
Since I don't have many WIP pics today I thought I'd touch on something I've been meaning to cover for a while. Some tips for the terrain builder when it comes to saving a few copper pieces on supplies/tools. Like anyone who throws themselves into a new hobby I'm constantly finding ways to save money or make my work easier. Here are just a couple.
Here's an easy idea for making your own paint pallet/mixing matt. Whenever I cast my silicone molds it seems there's always a little waste. That last bit that stubbornly refuses to be scraped out of the mixing pot, those little bits that miss the mold and end up table top, etc.
I simply let the material settle in the bottom of the pot and cure. After several mixes/pours it slowly builds up to sheets an 1/8th of an inch to a 1/4 inch thick. That's when I pull it out and repurpose the material as a pallet/mixing matt. I four scattered around the shop.
They repell water and help the ain't to retain moisture and stay wet for a long time. Superglue won't stick to it – so I 'll put a little drop of super glue it to dip from with a tooth pick when working on small projects. Best of all, the plastic measuring pots I mix my silicone in has these little lines and three dimples on the bottom — when reversed on the silicone mold they turn into depressions that hold/separate water and paint them mixing. Pretty cool.
Every few projects I simply pick up the pallets, stretch them a bit and all the paint drops off and into the waste basket. Pretty cool for something what is essentially waste material.
Another trick I've been using for years — using paper leave bags as drop matts for my work bench. Not that's it's all that clever, but enough people have commented on it when they see what I'm doing that I mention it here.
Leaf bags are under a buck a piece. I unfold them and put them over my bench when casting or making resin. And I use them to paint over over as well to dry my brush when dry brushing. And when they've served their purpose? I use them as leaf bags again. Or use them as shop trash bins in which case they end up going in a dumpster when full.
One caveat: If you're bags end up have a lot of cured resin on them, paint, etc you MAY not want to put them out for pick up with your yard waste. I'm guessing the folks who dispose/process such waste would prefer not to have such materials in the mix.
Anyway leaf bags have been life saver here. Especially when painting up a LOT of pieces in assembly line fashion (which can get very sloppy). 😉
Okay that's it. Nothing earth shattering but hopefully the above will help a few of you on your own projects.
Game on!!

Malcolm Turnbull has taken a step back from the prime minister's call for heads to roll at the ABC, after it allowed a convicted criminal on live television.
The communications minister believes the public broadcaster has betrayed its own standards, but wouldn't go as far as saying it let down the country, as Tony Abbott did earlier on Thursday.
"I will decide what metaphors I use and the manner in which I use them," he told ABC TV when asked if he agreed with Mr Abbott that heads should roll in the wake of Zaky Mallah's appearance on Q&A on Monday night and the ABC's replay of the show on Wednesday.
Mr Turnbull would not get into a debate about the prime minister's "semantics".
"I don't run the ABC, neither does Tony Abbott," he said.
Mr Abbott said the ABC compounded its "terrible mistake" by airing the show again, despite admitting it was an error of judgment to allow Mr Mallah, who was jailed for threatening federal government officials in 2003, to ask a question.
The ABC had given a platform to a "convicted terrorist and sympathiser", he told reporters in Canberra, adding the federal government was not satisfied with an internal inquiry "because so often we've seen virtual whitewashes whenever that sort of thing happens".
Instead, the government will hold an urgent inquiry of its own, with the Communications Department to report back on Tuesday.
Managing Director Mark Scott was expected to say it would co-operate with the inquiry, during a speech in Melbourne on Thursday night, while arguing the ABC was on the side of Australia.
It's not a weakness to admit you made the wrong call, he was due to tell the gathering.
Mr Abbott's call for heads to roll saw a quick response from Mr Mallah on social media.
"Really? Last time I heard, Jihadi John was in Syria. Not in Canberra!" he tweeted.
Meanwhile, the media union condemned the government's decision to order its own urgent investigation.
"Clearly the government is seeking to directly influence editorial decisions at the national broadcaster," Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) CEO Paul Murphy said in a statement.
Labor frontbencher Andrew Leigh told Sky News he didn't think the ABC should be gratuitously replaying the program.
"But there's a range of other things the prime minister could be drawing our attention to," Dr Leigh said.
Cabinet minister Kevin Andrews, who is said to have turned down an invitation to appear on Q&A next Monday, has urged coalition colleagues to join his boycott.
But his colleagues Mr Turnbull and Christopher Pyne said they would still go on the show if asked.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten also believes the ABC made a "big mistake" in allowing Mr Mallah to appear, but says it won't stop him appearing on Q&A.
"I wouldn't want to see the show shut down and the ABC punished forever and a day," he said.
Liberal MP Sarah Henderson, a former ABC journalist, has called for the sacking of Q&A executive producer Peter McAvoy for what she said was a clear and obvious stunt.
Alan Tudge, the prime minister's parliamentary secretary, is scheduled to appear on Monday's panel.

THE owner of a zoo from which a baby penguin called Toga has been missing for several days said he believed it had died.
Derek Curtis was speaking after a man called GMTV to say he had stolen it and dumped it in a plastic bag at Portsmouth Dockyard.
The three-month-old, 1ft-high penguin is believed to have been stolen from Amazon World, Sandown, Isle of Wight, sometime during Saturday night.
Staff have warned that without the care of its parents the rare bird would die.
Mr Curtis said: "I am very pessimistic, I think we have lost it, it has been too long.
"I think that the person who phoned GMTV was genuine because we got his phone number and I spoke to him.
"He said he worked at the docks and dumped it on the side of the dock.
"The phone has now gone dead and he's not answering it."
Mr Curtis said he understood Hampshire police and MoD police were keeping an eye out for the penguin as they carried out their regular patrols of the dockyard.
He added: "Unfortunately the police are not treating this like they would a missing human.
"As far as I am concerned it should be treated the same, but at the end of the day it is a bird.
"Having said that, the police have been co-operating, but they can't do everything because it is a bird."
A Hampshire police spokeswoman said the report of Toga being left at Portsmouth dockyard was just one of a number of leads.
She said: "We are aware that GMTV has received an anonymous call stating the penguin had been seen at Portsmouth dockyard.
"This is just one of a number of reported sightings."
A spokesman for the Portsmouth Continental Ferryport said: "We have been in contact with the dockyard and the penguin has not been seen by anyone.
"Police at the dockyard have been informed and will be keeping a look out.
"It is pretty bad if the penguin has been left in a plastic bag."
A spokesman for the Royal Navy base at Portsmouth said: "No one has seen a penguin walking around the Navy base but we are keeping our eyes open."
A spokeswoman for Portsmouth Historic Dockyard said: "We have been talking to the naval base and as far as we are concerned the penguin isn't here and no one has seen it."
Stolen baby penguin must be dead says zoo keeper
THE owner of a zoo from which a baby penguin called Toga has been missing for several days today said he believed it had died.

Exchange, Abuse and Young People
Distributed for Bristol University Press
176 pages | 5 x 7 3/4 | © 2017
Recent scandals throughout the United Kingdom have lifted the problem of child sexual exploitation to near the top of the social policy agenda. But amid the furor, some key questions have been ignored. What makes child sexual exploitation different from other forms of child abuse? What do we know about why it happens? And what approaches are most effective for stopping it? In this book, Sophie Hallett argues that we need to use the exchange model—an approach lost in the current focus on "grooming"—to answer these questions. The book draws heavily on the voices of children and young people who have experienced sexual exploitation and the social work practitioners who have worked with them, to challenge mainstream discourse around child sexual exploitation, arguing that it is much more widespread than thought and that we must reorient our thinking about it if we want to succeed in preventing it.
Review Quotes
Jenny Pearce, OBE, director of the International Centre Researching Child Sexual Exploitation, Violence and Trafficking, University of Bedfordshire
"This is a 'go-to' book for those concerned with child sexual exploitation, raising critical questions about definition and appropriate responses."
Harry Ferguson, University of Nottingham
"This excellent book provides vital new insights into the nature of child sexual exploitation, its impact, how to prevent it and promote recovery. It is essential reading for all concerned about this major problem."
