Financial exploitation of elders is complex and, in some instances, accompanied by other forms of elder mistreatment. On this page find:
The U.S. has no national reporting mechanism to track the financial exploitation of elders, but in a 1998 study by the National Center on Elder Abuse, financial abuse accounted for about 12 percent of all elder abuse reported nationally in 1993 and 1994 and 30 percent of substantiated elder abuse reported submitted to adult protective services in 1996, after reports of self-neglect were excluded.[1]
A 2000 survey by the National Association of Adult Protective Services Administrators conducted for the National Center on Elder Abuse found that financial exploitation comprised 13 percent of the mistreatment allegations investigated.[2] Many experts in the field, however, believe that the level of elder exploitation may well exceed what has been reported to authorities and documented by researchers.
One NIJ-funded study of 2,000 community-residing elderly individuals in Arizona and Florida found that 5.6 percent reported being victims of financial mistreatment. The most common types of financial mistreatment were having someone steal or spend their money, sell or take their property, or forge their signature. The risk of financial mistreatment was higher for individuals who engaged in fewer social or other activities outside of the home (e.g., participating in social activities away from home, getting together with people who do not live in the home, going to the movies), had low self-control, were male and identified as a racial minority.[3]
NIJ-funded researchers examined two sets of data to determine some of the differences between cases where an elderly person was the victim of financial exploitation and those where he or she was the victim of both financial exploitation and neglect or physical abuse, a combination referred to as hybrid financial exploitation.[4]
The researchers, who studied 54 cases in depth — 38 were financial exploitation alone, and 16 were hybrid financial exploitation — found that the characteristics and dynamics of the two types of cases vary depending on the type of exploitation involved. The data revealed several differences between the two types of cases.
The researchers identified two types of independence: physical and financial. Physically independent elders were able to care for themselves, could drive, and were cognitively intact and physically healthy. Financially independent elders had the financial assets to cover their needs and often owned their homes. Elderly victims who were physically and financially independent were more likely to experience pure financial exploitation.
Elderly victims experiencing hybrid financial exploitation tended to be financially independent but physically dependent. They had significant health problems, were unable to drive and were to some degree dependent on others for assistance.
Victims of hybrid financial exploitation were more likely than victims of pure financial exploitation to have:
Based on the larger dataset of all reported cases in Virginia, the researchers identified a number of characteristics of the 472 victims of financial exploitation. These victims:
The researchers also found that the 162 victims of hybrid financial exploitation were 81 percent more likely to experience hybrid exploitation when the abuser did not provide financial support to the victim, but the victim did provide financial support to the perpetrator.
An NIJ-funded study sought to determine the nature and extent of consumer fraud victimization and to identify risk and protective factors for fraud victimization among elderly residents of Arizona and Florida.[5]
Researchers found that nearly 60 percent of the 2,000 survey participants were targeted by at least one fraud attempt during the prior year. Approximately 14 percent of the study participants were fraud victims within the past year. The most common types of fraud were phony magazine subscriptions, prize scams, donations to nonexistent charities and retrieval of personal financial information under false pretenses.
Factors that consistently increase an elderly individual's likelihood of being targeted and experiencing financial fraud victimization include remote purchasing, low self-control and telemarketing purchases.
Respondents who purchased something in response to a telemarketing call from a company with whom they had not previously done business during the previous year increased their risk of becoming a fraud target by more than 200 percent and their risk of financial fraud victimization by more than 600 percent compared with those who had not made such purchases.
The study also sought to determine the extent to which residents were aware of and used their state-based fraud prevention programs. Overall, most participants were not familiar with their state-based programs.

Mom speaks out after discovering daughter was live streaming from bedroom
December 23, 2017
A Chesterfield mother made an unsettling discovery after receiving a Facebook friend request from a man she didn't know. Kelly Jarrett soon found out that the unnamed man was a viewer of her 12-year-old daughter's live stream on the popular site YouNow. According to New York's PIX11, Emily's stream was accessible to people all over the world and had collected hundreds of comments, some of which focused on the soon-to-be teenager's appearance.
"It scared me on levels that I did not want to be frightened on," Jarrett told the news outlet in January 2016, adding that she will now take away her daughter's laptop.
Emily's intentions with the YouNow live broadcast were to offer advice to friends, but it wasn't just her friends that were tuning in. WTVR-TV reports that a Chesterfield County school resource officer spoke with Emily about the dangers of what she was doing. Emily called it a "learning lesson."
Per PIX11, YouNow issued a statement after the incident came to light: "Trust is a core value of YouNow, and we are committed to the safety of our community. We have strict policies against inappropriate behavior, harassment, and illegal activities."
Now, Jarrett is speaking up in hopes that other parents don't make the same discovery she did. She said she was "blindsided" by the whole ordeal, and she worries that other parents will be too.
Safety is so important. Please SHARE this message to keep friends and family safe.

Horizons Active Float Ra (HSL.TO) currently has a 50-day Moving Average of 9.91, the 200-day Moving Average is 9.74, and the 7-day is noted at 9.93. Following moving averages with different time frames may help offer a wide variety of stock information. A longer average like the 200-day may serve as a smoothing tool when striving to evaluate longer term trends. On the flip side, a shorter MA like the 50-day may help with identifying shorter term trading signals. Moving averages may also function well as a tool for determining support and resistance levels.
Traders may be relying in part on technical stock analysis. Horizons Active Float Ra (HSL.TO) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -219.15. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.
Let's do some further technical analysis on the stock. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Horizons Active Float Ra (HSL.TO) is 10.01. Many technical chart analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX is typically plotted along with two other directional movement indicator lines, the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). Some analysts believe that the ADX is one of the best trend strength indicators available.
Another technical indicator to examine is the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Developed by Larry Williams, this indicator helps spot overbought and oversold market conditions. The Williams %R shows how the current closing price compares to previous highs/lows over a specified period. Horizons Active Float Ra (HSL.TO)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is sitting at -100. Typically, if the value heads above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. On the flip side, if the indicator goes under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of multiple popular technical indicators created by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder introduced RSI in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" which was published in 1978. RSI measures the magnitude and velocity of directional price movements. The data is represented graphically by fluctuating between a value of 0 and 100. The indicator is computed by using the average losses and gains of a stock over a certain time period. RSI can be used to help spot overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI reading over 70 would be considered overbought, and a reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. A level of 50 would indicate neutral market momentum. The 14-day RSI is currently sitting at 46.03, the 7-day is at 40.73, and the 3-day is spotted at 31.

Can New York City Handle the Horsepower?
Everything looks better out the window of a shoebox Chevy. Small towns, two-lane country roads, dragstrip finish lines, and yes, even the vertical wonderland of New York City. We took native New Yorkers Frank Romano and Glenn Hunter up on an offer to drive their '55 and '56 Chevys through the busy streets of Manhattan, and we literally brought the city to a standstill. Amazingly, nobody honked.
"This story should really be about Glenn's car," Frank told me, and it's true. Glenn's two-tone peppermint Bel Air with its 33/18.5-15 Mickey-Ts shoved in the rear wheelwells and blown big-block stroker, not just sticking through the hood but making a hood altogether superfluous, is a pretty eye-catching package. The fact that it will do a burnout at 60 mph in the center lane of the FDR highway (not that we did—OK, maybe we did) just backs up the car's mean promise. It has a 'chute on the back for a reason. Frank's 502-powered '55 210 may not pack such a visual punch, but you'd be hard-pressed to pick which car is more of a monster after a day of watching Frank row the Jerico with the long paddle of a Hurst shifter. The Hurst is topped by a B&M ball because he busted the top off the Hurst pistol grip with a particularly enthusiastic shift during Drag Week™ 2010 and had to buy a replacement on the road, and that B&M ball turned out to be "the best line-lock button ever," so it's still there. When the shifter is in one piece and that red button is released, the '55 will take off revving so high you can practically hear the Manley valvesprings exceeding their ratings. Ten seconds later, Frank will cross the finish line, so between that and Glenn's 8-second e.t.'s, it was a couple of pretty serious shoeboxes that we had in our corner. In the opposite corner from our hometown brawlers was a worthy opponent, a city in the top five of nearly every list of worst places to drive: the island of Manhattan.
It all started about as far from the big city as you can get, a parking lot in Ennis, Texas, during Drag Week™ 2012. Frank and Glenn were chatting in the shade of the injector hat towering over the latter's red and white '56, and their accents and liberal use of swear words clearly marked them as hailing from the East. Know what I'm f'n tawkin' about? The conversation turned to the car scene in the Big Apple. There might have been a little bragging about streetability and a little arguing about whether New York or Los Angeles has the worst traffic, and the next thing you know, I was sitting in the passenger seat of Frank's silver '55, following Glenn in the '56 and experiencing the heavy metal cacophony of a combined 1,700 hp ricocheting through the glass canyons of Manhattan's financial district. If that rumble didn't make the market bullish, then nothing will.
There were lane closures all around Wall Street, and the two Chevys bucked and surged in the slow-moving traffic. This gave the people around us plenty of time to gawk and point, and it wasn't just out-of-towners reaching for their cell-phone cameras. A pair of hard-hatted construction workers came running out of a scaffolded storefront to grab their own shots when we pulled over at the curb. "Dis ain't street legal?" one asked, noting the barely padded Kirkey race seats and 'cage in Glenn's car.
It is street legal. Both cars are, a fact that's a point of pride to their owners. Glenn got the Bel Air from his dad around 1980, and although it's made a decided move toward race car over the years, he says it's been registered and streetable the entire time he's owned it. Frank has had his '55 almost as long and says he's always been careful to keep it capable of daily driving. "People keep pointing out how I could pick up a tenth of a second if I'd ditch the bench seat, and yeah, I could, but that's not the thing. I have a race car; my Nova runs so easy my grandmother could go 9s in it, but this car is more fun. I didn't want another race car. I wanted a street/strip car with the emphasis on the street."
Our drive around the island certainly tested the durability of the street Chevys. Manhattan is full of one-way streets, cobblestones, manhole covers, aggressive taxi drivers, and jaywalking pedestrians. We were prepared to encounter plenty of urban antagonism, but that's not what happened. Somehow, New York City, a place that's seen it all, fell totally under the spell of the shoeboxes. Everywhere we went people were waving at us. Taxis and police cars gave us right-of-way. Buses full of tourists ignored city landmarks to point their cameras at Glenn and Frank. At one point, a fashionable couple in a yellow Lamborghini acted as a cross-traffic blocker so Glenn didn't get separated as the light changed. "I feel like a celebrity," said Glenn after a limo driver pulled over to wave us past so he could get a better look. Truly, we couldn't have gotten more attention if we had been famous. Heck, we couldn't have gotten more attention if we'd been famous and naked! In fact, an entire crowd turned away from the famous naked cowboy in Times Square as we went past.
We did find one person who wasn't so stoked about our rowdy roadtrip. During a brief stop outside a ritzy hotel to set up some camera rig shots, the doorman shuffled over apologetically to say that a guest had called down to complain about the noise, and could we please get moving. Dear anonymous person sitting grouchily in your hotel room on a Saturday evening in the heart of one of the most amazing cities on earth, we feel sorry for you. Truth be told, we were a little disruptive. We blocked traffic outside the Tonight Show studios. We used up all the available parking under the popular High Line elevated park, and at one point, while Glenn was waiting to turn right outside a crowded bar, a pair of drunk girls dressed as sexy pirates walked behind the car. We heard a squeal and a thud. "I think someone just tripped over the wheelie bar," said Glenn, as we watched them totter away.
As the sun went down and the lights of Broadway came on, we had our first mechanical problem. Well, really it was an operator error. "Uh, I don't think I have any gas left," said Glenn as we drove past art galleries and a store that just said "Meatballs," but no gas stations. We'd been having so much fun that we hadn't stopped once to fill up. Manhattan may be only 13 miles long, but we'd traveled its length and breadth enough times to empty the small fuel cell in Glenn's trunk. Frank's car was getting a bit thirsty, too. There was a flurry of Googled and shouted directions between the two that resulted in finding one of the few gas stations in the neighborhood. There was no E85, which is one of the secrets to the '56's low e.t.'s, but Glenn converted his car to a flex-fuel setup a few years back, allowing him to run pretty much anything with more octane than a light beer. Frank's 10.25:1 compression leaves him with fewer options, but he can still use pump gas without a problem. With full tanks, we were back on the town.
I've lived here my whole life, and I saw more of the city today than I ever have before.
We never really had a destination; we just cruised the city, stopping occasionally to set up photos or talk with locals. The traffic was every bit as bad as you could imagine. There were blocks where the signal would cycle four or five times before we'd make it through an intersection. Every rough bit of pavement could be felt and heard through the ladder-bar suspension in the back of Glenn's car, and the constant stop and go kept Frank busy on the clutch, which he described as "a little cranky." It was the kind of driving that would make someone nervous in a brand-new car, let alone in a pair of hot rods, but we ended up having a blast, with nary a problem from either auto. So the next time you think you need a vacation, maybe you just need to get your car out of the garage. Head to the nearest town, admire your reflection in a few storefront windows and remind everyone what the point of owning a cool car really is–to enjoy the drive.

To the Editor:
I was really sad to learn this week that the City Council turned down the request to rezone the building on South 6th Street for the Emmet County Animal Shelter. I am not about to start pointing fingers or blaming others for their concerns. Having served over the years on numerous board and commissions I know how hard it can be to always make the right decisions. I am not one to usually voice my objections but I feel that I must do so at this time and with this issue.
Not only have we missed the opportunity to take a broken down and forgotten old building and make it look better but we are telling the other business people who were looking at locating at this site that we don't want or need them in Estherville. We cannot afford to have this attitude and expect our city to grow.
Here in southwest Florida where I now spend most of my winters there are several animal shelters and animal hospitals and most of these facilities have outdoor runs for animals. I have visited many of these places in case I would need to take one of my cats here. I always ask the owners if they ever have problems with noise or smell issues as these places are usually next to residential neighborhoods. The answer I always get is, of course we do but it is very rare. Why? Because they are run by people who care about animals and want a clean home for them.
Kristi Henning keeps her facility as clean, quiet and odor free as most people's homes. I have had the opportunity to visit this facility many times before I adopted my two cats from her in May of 2012. The place where the cats were was about the size of a three-car garage and there were always several dozen cats there. The place was SPOTLESS and NEVER smelled of urine or feces. The dogs were kept in areas equally as clean and with very little noise issue. This takes a lot of hard work and dedication and Kristi has that and she should be sincerely thanked for her efforts.
I think the public needs to become more informed and aware of this issue by seeing what Kristi has planned for this building. The City Council needs to revisit this issue in the spring and pass this resolution.
I am an avid supporter of this shelter and for animals in general and I would love to be able to donate some money to improve this part of Estherville and to attract more business and revenue into our city. We surely need this to happen for the benefit of everyone.
Thank you for listening to my opinion!

Self-Harm - Signs, Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery. Our Fairfax, VA Center specializes in treating Co-Occuring Eating Disorder.
Nonsuicidal self-injury disorder, better known as self-harm, is characterized by the purposeful actions of causing physical harm to oneself without the intention of committing suicide. This behavior is more common in teenagers and adolescents and occurs due to severe underlying emotional pain and a lack of healthy coping skills. Self-harm behaviors are coping ways to release emotions related to anger, sadness, neglect, pain and frustration; after the harmful act is completed, the individual experiences shame or guilt resulting in more negative emotions. Individuals who practice it usually have a history of emotional, sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or trauma resulting in feelings of insecurity, excessive worry and extreme anger. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa are strongly associated with it and individuals in the Fairfax, VA with these characteristics should be screened for it and vice versa. It can result in co-occurring disorders such as substance abuse, depression and suicide.
Signs and symptoms of self-harm include severe scars, wounds and physical injuries; however many individuals will try to conceal these physical signs and therefore this disorder may often go undiagnosed. It is important to recognize and be aware of the emotional and behavioral symptoms associated with this condition and the associated warning signs. The following are signs, symptoms and warning signs of it:
Our Fairfax, VA - Center For Discovery Residential Treatment Center specializes in treating Self-Harm and Co-Occurring Eating Disorders with customized treatment for the individual to get well on the way to his/her eating disorder recovery.
For more information, resources, or to consult with an eating disorder treatment specialist, call 631.593.0039
If any of the above signs and symptoms occur, it is important to seek help from a therapist trained diagnosis and treating self-harm behavior. In order for an individual to meet our Fairfax, VA Recovery Treatment diagnostic criteria, they must have intentions of harming themselves resulting in physical pain to the body without the intent to commit suicide. The individual must be significantly distressed by their feelings and actions and their specific behavior is not accepting by society. These actions must occur for five days out of the year and the individual must induce it for one of the following reasons:
Additionally, the individual must experience one of the following before the self-injury act occurs:

WICHITA – The Wichita Aero Club will offer a double dose of aviation information in September when it hosts the leaders of two groups that have significant impact on the industry. Executive Director Selena Shilad of the Alliance for Aviation Across America (AAAA) will speak at the club's Sept. 25 luncheon, followed the next day by Scott Ernest, CEO of Cessna.
He will give a presentation at the first annual Kansas Aviation Expo Takeoff Reception sponsored by the Wichita Aero Club and Cessna.
Ernest was previously scheduled to speak at the WAC February luncheon but it was cancelled due to a snowstorm. The Takeoff Reception will be held Thursday, Sept. 26 at 5 p.m. at the National Center for Aviation Training (NCAT). Those who purchase luncheon tickets for the Sept. 25 event can also attend the reception for an additional $10. Individual reception tickets are $20. All tickets can be purchased at WichitaAeroClub.org/events.
"Wichita will be treated to the equivalent of 'Aviation Weekend' in September with a Wichita Aero Club Luncheon, the newly-announced Kansas Aviation Expo and the annual Wichita Flight Festival happening back-to-back-to-back," said Dave Franson, WAC President. "For five days, from the 25th to the 29th, there will be some very interesting and informative aero events taking place. The WAC is joining with Cessna to launch the Kansas Aviation Expo with a Takeoff Reception in the student commons of the National Center for Aviation Training. This event will feature heavy hors d'oeuvres and drinks as well as a long-awaited presentation by Scott Ernest. The opportunity to hear Selena Shilad and Scott on consecutive days is special. It's going to be a terrific aviation weekend."
Shilad has been with the Alliance for Aviation Across America since it began in 2007. Prior to her work with the AAAA, Shilad coordinated strategic communications and media campaigns for several non-profit organizations and political campaigns.

Introductions of officers, program plans for Fall 2011, an activity for Old Settler's Reunion week, and a possible fundraiser project were among the activities at the Pot Luck dinner kicking off the 2011-2012 Wood County, Texas Genealogical Society year September 19 at the Shamburger room at the Quitman Public Library.
A luncheon honoring those who have volunteered time and effort in support of the society activities will be held Monday, October 3 at noon at the Texas Tea Room. We will treat our invited guests to lunch, but the luncheon will be Dutch treat for members attending. It is important that local members who do not have schedule conflicts attend to show support for these folks.
The October 17 regular meeting of the society will be an obituary workshop. All members who have clippings of obituaries or who have been working on our newspapers collected for obituary searching are asked to bring all their papers and clippings to the 7:00 p.m. regular meeting that night. The usual social gathering at Peralta's Mexican Restaurant will be at 5 p.m., and the Shamburger room at the library will be open at 6 p.m. to help members or the general public with genealogy research questions. Materials also will be made available for beginners to family tree research at the same time.
The society will be responsible for the display case in the library lobby during October in recognition of National Family History month. If you have family history items to display, ideas for the display or would like to help, contact Requisitions and Acquisitions Co-chairs Shirley Bates and Dorothy Harbin next week before the end of September.
Plans were made to provide exhibits at the library during Old Settlers' Reunion week next year which carry the theme of early families in Wood County. Also, planned was for the society to participate in a fund raiser during the Annual Highway 37 Garage Sale.
A committee consisting of President Ronnie Vance and Requisitions and Acquisitions Co-chair Shirley Bates will work on adoption of criteria for a Distinguished Service Award for deserving members of the society.
Funding a Quitman Public Library subscription to Ancestry.com for use of the general public and members was discussed at the meeting. The biggest question about such a project revolved around funding and how to accomplish that. No motions were made, and further investigation is expected.
Officers and committee chairs were introduced. They are President Ronnie Vance, Vice-President Deason Hunt, Secretary Shirley Patrick, Treasurer Wayne McCluney, and these chairpersons: Ways and Means Ronnie Vance, Editorial Deason Hunt, Membership Shirley Patrick, Budget and Finance Wayne McCluney, Requisition and Acquisition Shirley Bates (co) and Dorothy Harbin (co), Publicity Kathy Lutonsky, Obituary Mary Ann Niswanger, and Hospitality and Gift Sally Allcorn.
President Ronnie Vance thanked all members who helped with the George Morgan workshop and Old Settlers' Reunion Display

Tips for Taming SELinux
SELinux prepares you for tomorrow's threats, but to reap its rewards you have to understand the MAC security model.
Mission Possible
SELinux began as a research project by the NSA (National Security Administration). The old model of reacting only to known threats has a glaring, obvious weakness: You're going to get beat up a lot. The idea behind SELinux is to protect a system from the unknown, and to close the door on zero-day exploits.
More Linux Security
- Master iptables with GUI Firewall Builders
- SELinux: Spook Tested, Admin Approved
- Linux Security: Tips from the Experts
- Bastille: Classic Linux and Unix Security
Another weakness of DAC is any application that a user can run has the same privileges and access as that user. This means that any remote application you run, such as a Web browser or mail client, has full access to everything that you do, including your personal data files. This is why services that require root permissions, such as networking services, drop to a special unprivileged user as soon as they can. In the olden days services that ran full-time with root privileges were popular avenues of attack. And that is why you should not dump all of your services into the "nobody" user, because that exposes all of those services to a single successful intrusion. Each service should have its own un-shared un-privileged user.
But in these modern times it's not necessary to gain root privileges to commit nefarious deeds, yet the primary purpose of most security schemes is still to protect root. Users are considered dispensable, like the red-shirted crewmen on the original Star Trek series. As soon as a guy in a red shirt appeared, you knew he was going to be toast before the second commercial break. Think about it—what's the most important stuff on your computer? The system files? You can easily replace those. An attacker might still want to acquire root privileges so they can replace key system binaries to try to cover their tracks. But the system files themselves are not valuable. The valuable stuff sits in your home and other data directories. If you're storing sensitive data of any kind, such as databases full of customer data, that's what an attacker wants.
Another contemporary reason to break into your system is to use it as a spam forwarder. An attacker won't need root privileges for that. Easily compromised Windows computers comprise the majority of the millions of machines that have been conscripted into the World Wide Botnet. But Linux is not immune. There is big money in spam; it is powered by organized crime because it's the first link in the chain to identity theft, DDoS extortion, and other forms of fraud. There's big money in them thar spams, so remote attacks are becoming sophisticated and difficult to combat, unlike the olden days when unlettered script kiddies passed around homegrown Windows viruses for the fun of it.
SELinux Policies
An SELinux policy has no concept of an all-powerful superuser, but only what is allowed and what is not allowed. It takes away the destructive potential of root. A successful intrusion will be confined to the process that it compromises, and will not be able to escalate beyond it. Sounds a bit like a chroot jail, doesn't it? Except that a chroot is not a security device, and was never intended to be one, even though it is commonly taught that it is a security device. chroot is for separating services, nothing more, so that multiple services or users can share the same system without tripping over each other too much. For example you could run multiple separate instances of an HTTP server, or safely sandbox a number of development environments.
More on chroot
Fedora Linux has been shipping with SELinux since Fedora Core 2, way back in ancient times (2004). It didn't actually work then because it shipped with a strict policy of "deny all, allow as needed" policy. This turned out to be an uncomfortable choice for a general-purpose operating system; it was too difficult to use, so most users turned it off.
FC3 delivered a working implementation that used a targeted policy. This is "allow all, deny as needed." The default policies confined a limited set of processes, mainly networking applications that accepted incoming connections. Successive Fedora releases included better userland tools for configuring SELinux and more refined default policies, which we're going to look at next week.
Until then, please visit the Resources links to get more good background on SELinux and what to do with it. The Red Hat and Fedora teams have done a huge amount of work with SELinux, including a lot of excellent documentation.
- Fedora's SELinux Wiki
- Confined Domains shows which network services are targeted
- Exploits of a Mom demonstrates the perils of sloppy, insecure database coding

Walking with Llamas - Clent Hills Station
This is one of Mid Canterbury's 'Must Do' Activities.
1 / 4
Lunch will never taste better than on a high country station. We all did a half day tour and loved every minute of it. The Llama's carry everything and you lead your own one.
They are such lovely gentle animals, pretty soon all the stresses of the 'real world' simply melts away. I know that sounds a bit 'twee' but it is the truth never-the-less.
My 6 year old daughter led her own llama, a pure white male called Gandalf. She hopped, skipped and yapped away to him and he just wandered along beside her looking very wise.
He stopped when she stopped and walked when she walked. As a mother it was just wonderful to see her and Gandalf having such a great time together. Never at any time did I ever feel apprehensive about her safety.
The scenery around Lake Heron and up towards the Cameron Glacier is …….well I am not sure there are enough adjectives to describe it…….you must see it for yourselves.
It is also possible to stay at the Clent Hills Station homestead - this would top your time of nicely.
If you want to know more about pricing and the different tour options available at Clent Hills Station please do not hesitate to contact us at the Methven i-SITE.

Using a blowtorch to light the candles during your kid's candle lighting ceremony is a sure-fire ways to grab your guests' attention. Yet unless your 12 or 13-year-old is a skilled welder, utilizing this method can erupt a volcano's-worth of trouble. So, we suggest you engage your guests the old-fashioned way — by being engaging.
"People tend to get bogged down and worried about candle lighting because they've seen candle lighting ceremonies go on and on," says Michael Sage Schindler, celebration director of LSNY Events. "I was once at a bar mitzvah for two kids at the South Street Seaport where the candle lighting lasted about 50 minutes. They had so much to say even though the ships' air horns were going the entire time, so you couldn't even hear them. By the time it was over, I think everyone in that room wanted to go outside and jump off the pier."
Don't extinguish the flickering flame of your party prematurely.
Here's a few ways to utilize the candle lighting in a way that sparks a party inferno:
A roast
Try having everyone who's going to be called up for the candle lighting write something funny about the honoree — or the other way around.
"This will always capture peoples' attention," says Schindler. "Instead of just saying 'Uncle John we really appreciate coming to your house every year, we always have fun in your pool' try 'Uncle John, remember when you dove into your pool and you came out but your hair and trunks were still in the pool?' If a candle lighting is really funny, it can actually become the highlight of the party."
Utilizing video screens
When you have video screens, it's nice to have a photo — along with their name and relationship to the honoree — appear on the screen as they're coming up on stage.
"That way everybody now knows who this person is and there's a frame of reference when guests see that person later on at the party," says Schindler. And based on what they found out during the candle lighting — thanks to the video screen — people can easily start conversations with that person who would have otherwise been a stranger. "It's like they know them already, because you've created a more intimate connection between your guests."
Award shows
Instead of writing a cutesy poem where every last line rhymes —which seems forced and causes people to zone out — Schindler suggests making 12 or 13 different statues and thinking up awards for the people you plan to call up to the stage — the funnier or more accurate, the better. For instance, you could create an award for "Best Supporting Actor," which can be an award for the honoree's best friend, mother, or father. Another thing you can do to spice up the ceremony is to have a little fun with the nominees. For example, if you create an award meant for the youngest member of your family, like "Brightest new star" and use your 89-year-old great uncle Saul as one of the nominees — all your guests will have a good chuckle.
"Part of the fun is creating the categories and choosing nominees," says Schindler.
'American Idol'
If your kid isn't interested in performing, ask them if they want to be an "American Idol"-like judge of the people who are going to come up and give a speech about them during the candle lighting.
"A lot of people don't feel comfortable with their ability to perform, but everyone feels comfortable with their ability to comment," says Schindler. "That way someone who's shy is still the star of the show by making the comments everyone else wants to make like 'Well, that was a good speech, Aunt Ida, but it was a little boring.' "

Nokia will release the upcoming EOS (or just "Lumia 1020") Windows Phone in the UK, according to a report over on CNET. The website notes that a telecoms industry insider has confirmed as much and the handset will not be an exclusive product for the US. We're expecting to see some EOS action on July 11th. Images of the EOS have also been leaked online.
The reason this device is a special case is that we're likely to see a 41MP PureView camera, the very same beast that was loaded on the Nokia 808 PureView Symbian handset. Nokia has improved the optics and software on its Lumia line of Windows Phones and the Lumia 925 is the latest product to take advantage of this continued development, leading to impressive results.
While CNET's inside source was unable to confirm just what the Nokia Windows Phone will be branded, we're still looking at the "Lumia 1020" to replace EOS, which would make sense as this is a fairly large leap from the Lumia 920 (along with the Lumia 928 and Lumia 925). As well as the 41MP shooter, the EOS is expected to include the following:
- 41 MP camera with Xenon flash
- Nokia Pro Camera
- 32GB of internal storage
- OLED screen at 768 x 1280
It's a highly anticipated device, and consumers have demanded to see a 41MP Windows Phone ever since the Nokia 808 PureView was released. Nokia has waited and it makes perfect sense with the Windows Phone OS maturing to an acceptable level. Be sure to stay tuned to our feeds as more details are leaked and confirmed in the near future. We'll be attending the event on July 11th and will relay the latest from the floor.
Are you excited for the EOS, or happy with your current Windows Phone?

The K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit is a collection of 64-bit DirectShow filters that can be used along with 64-bit players, such as Windows Media Center.
Please note, this may not be necessary to get videos or audio files in general playing on your system. Even if you have 64-bit Windows, it will run 32-bit players perfectly well, and in fact those 32-bit applications won't be able to use the filters in this package anyway. Which is why the K-Lite developers recommend that you use the regular K-Lite Codec Pack "when possible", as it "contains more, better and faster decoders".
If you're still having problems with 64-bit players, though, there's no harm in installing the K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit as well. It can run alongside the 32-bit edition quite happily, without causing any problems or issues.
Otherwise, though, the package includes all the usual bits and pieces to help you play all the most common audio and video files: ffdshow, AC3Filter, AC3File, Haali Media/ LAV/ Matroska splitters, DirectVobSub and so on. And of course troubleshooting options like the Codec Tweak Tool are on hand to review your setup and try to detect and fix any problems you might have.
A useful collection of tools which may come in handy if your 64-bit media players are having problems with particular file types

The invitation to CES could say "please join us to look at infinite stupid iPad cases and ugly headphones," and it wouldn't be misleading. But amidst all the crap are some beautiful things like Hex's newest line of headphones.
These snake skin cans have 40mm drivers, 20Hz - 20,000Hz frequency response, and all around they're just hot. So is everything else Hex had to show off this week, like (you guessed it) iPad cases and laptop bags. Every product is made from some really slick, fashion-conscious textiles. These particular headphones cost $200 and they also come in red and black pebbled leather. Although they won't go on sale until the summer, it's safe to drool over them now.
That 360 degree view comes compliments of our very own Gizmodoscope. Check out more of its handiwork here

Where is the sense of urgency from a Labour party that doesn't seem terribly fussed about winning this election, or at least seems quite happy to leave it to potential coalition partners to get it over the line?
The biggest crime a Labour Party caucus, activist base and affiliated unions can commit is to not put their party in a position where it can realistically when an election. They can claim all they like to want to bring new talent into parliament through the list, but on current polling, it's rhetoric – no new faces will make it come September.

It looks like Asus' new Ultrabooks really will be the ones to beat this time around. When we reviewed the current generation in the form of the Asus Zenbook UX31, it fell short of being all it could, held back by its average screen, lack of keyboard backlighting, and a few other niggles. The new Zenbooks, however, look to be the bee's knees, well worthy of their Zenbook Prime designation.
The most dramatic improvements for both the UX31A and UX21A are of course the matt 1080p IPS screens and Ivy Bridge processors we already talked about. However, now our final requirement has been granted, as Asus has added backlighting to the keyboards – and also Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi), for those few who are aware of it. We can't wait to face these ultraportables off against the current Ultrabook champion, the Samsung Series 9 900X3B.
Now if Asus truly wanted to fulfill our every wish, there would be a convertible Zenbook Prime with touch plus pressure-sensitive stylus support, and a discrete Nvidia Kepler Series 6 graphics card for a bit of gaming – oh, please excuse us while we go chase that pig we just saw flying past.

M.O.VE on the Move: Mobile Operators Take to Cisco's New Mobility Strategy
At Mobile World Congress last month we introduced our M.O.VE strategic framework and we're already seeing the message take off. We recently announced our relationships with major mobile operators, MegaFon in Russia and Reliance Communications in India. Both of these operators are taking advantage of solutions within the M.O.VE strategic framework.
M.O.VE, with its targeted approach to helping operators monetize and optimize their mobile networks while enhancing the video experience, appears to be the right framework at the right time, and speaks to operators' technical, financial, and business needs in a comprehensive and tangible way.
With the introduction of our first three M.O.VE solutions – Mobile Videoscape, Adaptive Intelligent Routing, and Service Provider Wi-Fi – we're bringing practical innovations to market that can provide mobile operators with real benefits today.
All three of these M.O.VE solutions leverage the performance and intelligence of the Cisco Mobile Internet Architecture to enable new mobile services, new business models and superior video experiences.
And on the other side of the profit equation, we've shown that with M.O.VE and the intelligence inherent in the Cisco Next-Generation Mobile Network, operators can reduce their RAN costs by up to 30%, while at the same time improving the customer's mobile experience.

Furharvester License
A furharvester license is required to hunt, trap, or pursue (run) furbearers, or to sell their pelts. A furharvester license is required to trap coyotes, and a hunting license is required to hunt them. The same license required to take coyotes is required to sell their pelts. Unlicensed, non-participating observers may accompany a licensed furharvester but may not assist in carrying or using equipment, controlling dogs, or otherwise assisting with furharvesting activities.
Persons under 16 years old may purchase a junior furharvester license at half price.
Kansas furharvesting licenses are not required for:
- Owners of land or tenants of land leased or rented for agricultural purposes, and immediate family members living with them, while furharvesting on this land;
- residents 13 and younger accompanied by a licensed furharvester;
- Legally-defined Native American Kansas residents (must apply for free license); and
- Nonresidents using field trial permits issued by KDWP.
NOTE: This applies to furharvesting only. A furharvester license is required of these exempt individuals when selling furbearers or their pelts.

Question: Would you recommend a facelift?
Answer: Facelifts really do not work to help wrinkles. Facelifts are intended to help with sagging muscles like jowls and neck hanging. Depending on how the surgeon defines "facelift" it can either describe a lift of just the lower face and neck or also to include the sagging cheek and/or brow region.
Even though when you pull your face up with your fingers the wrinkles go away, this type of movement is really not indicative of what a lift can do. I call this the "two-finger rule", meaning when you lift with two fingers this really does not indicate what a facelift can achieve.
So how do we fix wrinkles? We have to divide the wrinkles into two types: static (not moving, present all the time) and dynamic (wrinkles only appear during movement like during smiling, frowning, etc.) Dynamic wrinkles of the upper face (but rarely of the lower face) are managed with botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox) since neurotoxins block the upper face from moving so that dynamic wrinkles do not appear. Recurrent and steady use of neurotoxins every 3 to 4 months can lead to ongoing diminishment of wrinkling even sometimes to the point that dynamic wrinkles do not appear as deep when the neurotoxin has completely faded away. Also, steady use of neurotoxins can help even diminish static lines if they are not too deep.
With the occurrence over time of static wrinkles, neurotoxins can still help diminish them with steady application, as mentioned above. However, sometimes sun-damaged skin with significant wrinkles may require chemical peels or laser resurfacing to help modify these types of wrinkles. Wrinkles of the lower face are harder to manage a with a neurotoxin.

SEATTLE — Church was the last thing on Sharon Heidland's mind when she entered college in the fall of 1994. Having received a full volleyball scholarship to the University of Nevada-Reno, she was living 800 miles away from home and pursuing her own path toward what she thought would bring happiness.
"My goal entering college was to succeed at sports and build skills for a successful
career," she explained. "I wanted to be either a businesswoman or a journalist. Above all, I wanted to do something great with my life, something extraordinary. I thought ultimate happiness would be wealth, prestige, glamour and power."
With her parents no longer telling her what to do, Sharon stopped attending Mass, never went to confession, and was certainly not going to be found at any prayer meetings. Instead, worldly pursuits consumed her time. In addition to her scholarship, she had a boyfriend on the football team and a schedule full of parties. She was free to do as she pleased, which was supposed to bring her happiness.
Yet instead of being filled with happiness, she was empty. "After getting a taste of having everything the world says you should have to be happy, but finding my heart utterly empty, I began to deeply yearn for something more. The partying, boyfriends, school and sports didn't fill me. When I was truly honest with myself, I had to admit that I was shattered within."
It was the spring of her freshman year in college when she had this awakening. "I realized that when I died, God wasn't going to ask me if my mom and dad went to church on Sunday. He would ask me, 'What did you do with your life?'" This sobering thought led her on a slow journey back into the Church.
During this journey, Sharon met a priest from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT). "As my heart began to awaken and my desires for something more began to grow, I met a priest from our religious community," she related. "I was suffering immensely from the weight of sin and bad decisions and this priest knew that, but he never shamed me. He inspired me to grow by the example of his life — a life of true and authentic love of God."
During her final three years of college, she started attending Mass sporadically, then every Sunday, and finally came to do so daily. "When I was a senior in college, my mother made a decision to entrust me and my life to the Blessed Virgin," she said. "My mom literally got down on her knees and gave me away to Our Lady: She told Our Lady that I was her daughter now and to protect me and keep me safe.
"My mother also began to pray at that moment, completely unknown to me, that I would become a nun — and here I am. So yes, the prayers of my mother and father are the reason why I am a nun today. I believe in the power of prayer and am a living fruit of its efficacy."
Special Names
After graduating with a degree in communications, Sharon was invited to a SOLT retreat in New Mexico, where she discovered her call to the religious life. "I desired a life committed to Christ: daily Mass, daily Rosary, Liturgy of the Hours, daily Holy Hour, faithful to the magisterium of the Church etc. And I found that with SOLT."
What she also found with SOLT was a unique model of "family teams" (also referred to as "ecclesial teams") of priests, sisters and laity. "We have all three vocations in our community, and I love the witness of that reality. I also chose SOLT because I recognized that this community is committed to authentic discipleship of Jesus through Mary."
Sharon became Sister Miriam James. "My father passed away unexpectedly while I was still a novice, and on my profession day, our founder, Father James Flanagan, gave me the religious name of Miriam James — Miriam, after our Blessed Mother, and James, after my father. To hear that proclamation at my profession Mass was one of the most touching experiences of my life."
Sister Miriam spent formation time in such diverse locations as Rome, New Mexico and North Dakota. She then made her final vows at St. Alphonsus Parish in Seattle on the feast of the Immaculate Conception in 2007. Her main work in Seattle is the direction of apostolic novices (women in their first year of novitiate). During the last six years, she has helped to guide 17 women through the formation program.
She also has the opportunity to utilize her communications skills by co-hosting the radio program "Sisters in Christ" on Sacred Heart Radio in Seattle. Episodes of this informative and engaging show can be heard at SacredHeartRadio.org on Thursdays at 6pm and on Sundays at 8am, Pacific Time.
A New Family
Aside from radio appearances and other speaking events, Sister Miriam has the daily opportunity to share the Gospel without saying a word. This is because the SOLT sisters wear a distinctive gray and white habit, which St. Alphonsus parishioner Lillian Yamamoto appreciates. "It's great to see the SOLT sisters in their habits; they're so joyful and are an authentic witness to God," she stated. "It's a great example for the children who haven't ever seen nuns in habits."
"Wearing a habit is a deep honor for me," Sister Miriam said. "When I wear a habit, I become a visible representative of the Catholic Church and a sign that God is alive and well. The habit is a sign to the world and a sign to me as well."
It's a sign that most people appreciate, but not all.
"Many people stop me on the street and ask questions, express gratitude or even become disgruntled when they see me. It's a sign that goes far beyond me personally, and I have to remember that. Wearing a habit is a witness of the love and mercy of God and it brings hope and comfort to many."
The visible presence of the sisters is appreciated by the administrator of St. Alphonsus, SOLT Father Danilo Abalon. "The family of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity is a congregation of priests, sisters, and laity, including married deacons," explained Father Abalon. "All the members share a common spirituality, mission and vision, as they strive to imitate and live the life of Christ.
"Each vocation finds the source of its identity in the Most Holy Trinity, and in their distinctiveness, they complement one another in the charism of 'ecclesial teams' modeled after the life of Mary. So, in any apostolate or parish ministry, if one of the components is not present, like the sisters, the witness of our charism would be incomplete."
Charisms weren't on the mind of college student Sharon Heidland, who sought worldly definitions of happiness, yet only found sadness. Today, however, Sister Miriam James is dedicated to poverty, chastity and obedience; and she is among the happiest of women. She says, "My goal now is to bring the message of Jesus' authentic love and mercy to everyone I meet. Jesus came to set us free from sin and darkness so that we might walk in his marvelous light."
Register correspondent Trent Beattie writes from Seattle.

Chicken parmesan with a special twist! Hidden beneath the traditional mozzarella is a slathering of ricotta cheese peppered with ribbons of baby spinach. An element of surprise to perk up this Italian American comfort food classic.
Chicken cutlets are marinated in buttermilk then coated in parmesan bread crumbs and baked until crispy. Baking is my preferred method. Frying is so messy, fussy and time-consuming.
I make up for the not-frying by taking the extra time to marinate the cutlets in buttermilk. This produces fork tender results and if you do happen to over cook them, which is an easy thing being the cutlets are so thin and are baked twice, the buttermilk helps keep them moist and juicy.
Once baked they are smothered in a spicy, red pepper Arrabbiata sauce then slathered with the ricotta and spinach followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Another trip into the oven to melt the cheese(s) and plating them with spaghetti is all that stands between you and this melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Baked Chicken Parmesan with Ricotta and Spinach
Rating: 5
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes
Yield: serves 4 generously
1 + 1/2 pounds chicken cutlets, cut in half
coarse salt and fresh black pepper
1 + 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
2 (24 ounce) jars of Arrabbiata sauce (like Bertolli)
1 cup ricotta cheese, preferably fresh
2 packed cups baby spinach leaves, stems removed
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
12 ounces whole grain spaghetti
fresh chopped basil or parsley for serving
- Season the chicken cutlets on both side with salt and pepper. Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl and add the chicken, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to as long as overnight.
- In a large shallow dish combine the seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan. Grease a large baking sheet or roasting pan with olive oil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken, one piece at a time from the buttermilk, allow excess to drip off then dredge in the bread crumbs using your fingers to pat the crumbs on. Place on baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken is coated.
- Bake about 20 minutes until golden and just cooked through. Meanwhile make stacks of the spinach leaves and slice lengthwise into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Add the ricotta to a small bowl and mix in the spinach ribbons.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Top each cutlet generously with sauce, then a generous spread of ricotta followed by a layer of mozzarella. Return to oven about 10 minutes or until cheese is hot and melted. Optionally you can turn the broiler on for a minute to brown the cheese.
- Meanwhile cook the spaghetti according to package directions in plenty of salted water to al dente. Drain and toss with the sauce.
- Serve cutlets over the spaghetti with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and parmesan cheese.

MilfHunter Hey mrs r
Jenni Robinson is a magazine writer who was sent by her editor to interview the Hunter. She arrived as a sceptic and left as a believer in his hunting abilities. Jenni started the interview with a few standard questions but quickly found her wrapped in the Hunters bizarre web of sex escapades. Hunter peaked her interest when he his hard schlong saluted her wondering eyes. Soon enough, Jenni was tearing her clothes off begging for the cock. Hunter stuffed her mouth and then her tight pussy. He eventually gave her a jizz facial which earned him a great review.

South Africa own demoralised Australia
This season up to the start of the defeat in Perth has to be a many-year low for Australia. After the first day of the first test Australia looked good but South Africa raised the bar a notch. Also want to say it's great to see good sportsmanship. Nothing got ugly in that test. So that's the highlight for me.

Misty625 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Harvest Chicago Contemporary Dance Festival
This fall will see the premiere of the Harvest Chicago Contemporary Dance Festival, and we need a logo! HCCDF is a weekend of performance to celebrate the works of practicing contemporary dance artists, from Chicago and beyond. Producing companies Nicole Gifford Dance and ology dance want to provide performance opportunities for the many hardworking small modern dance companies and independent artists, who deserve to show their work, but in this economy can't afford to self-produce a full concert. The Chicago dance community is incredibly rich, supportive, and innovative, and we want an event (and logo) that reflects the warmth and bounty of the season and work.
Dance companies and artists, media (press, bloggers, etc.), funders, event ticket buyers- young to middle-aged adult arts audiences.
Thanks for considering our project!
We'd like a great icon and the full name included in the design- it is Harvest Chicago Contemporary Dance Festival.
This logo will be used on: websites- our own (to be developed) plus press and event websites where we advertise; posters; postcards; those little hipster buttons; newspapers; and brochures.
We'd like to have a color version (say, one or two colors plus black and/or white) and a greyscale version. Bold autumn colors would be fun, though we're open!
Dance logos can be tricky- we want the logo to imply movement, but not be too literal with actual dancing human figures. Unless you can find a way to do it that looks really cool.

The 68th IUCN Council meeting has admitted 33 new members to the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The new members include four government agencies: two of them are working on protected areas in Guinea Bissau and Korea; one is a government agency representing the Flemish Ministry of Environment, Nature and Energy; and the fourth one is the Environmental Department of the Alava Government in Spain. The new members bring local knowledge, expertise, and the will to influence the international agenda.
Seven come from Africa, 13 from Meso and South America, four from South and East Asia, two from West Asia, one from Canada and six from West Europe. It is interesting to note that 88% of the newly admitted members are NGOs, 12% are government agencies and 6% are international NGOs.
Networking possibilities, access to knowledge, capacity building, linking local experience to policy level and new opportunities for establishing effective partnerships were all reasons behind their decision to join the World Conservation Union.
"It is encouraging to see our Union continue to grow in numbers and geographical reach and we in the Secretariat are working diligently to enhance support and better integrate our diverse membership into the full range of Union activities." said J. Gabriel López, Chief Global Strategist and Acting Head of the IUCN's Constituency Support Unit.
With these additions, the total number of IUCN members stands at 1,074; including 83 State members, 111 government agency members, 83 international NGOs, 764 national NGOs, and 33 Affiliate members.

When it comes to alleviating poverty, it is the best of times. Never in history have so many people so quickly been taken off the poverty rolls.
Poverty in Numbers: The Changing State of Global Poverty from 2005 to 2015, a 2011 Brookings Institution publication, summarizes this stunning development. Researchers Laurence Chandy and Geoffrey Gertz note that as late as the early 1980s, "more than half of all people in developing countries lived in extreme poverty." By 2005, they report, that number was cut in half. By 2010, "less than 16 percent remain in poverty, and fewer than 10 percent will likely be poor by 2015."
In other words, the seemingly audacious UN Millennium Development Goal of reducing poverty by half between 1990 and 2015 was met three years ago.
What's more, apparently no continent is being left behind. In the 1980s, poverty increased in Africa, and, in the 1990s, in Latin America. But, according to Chandy and Gertz, "poverty reduction is currently taking place in all regions of the world." For the first time, the poverty rate of sub-Saharan Africa is below 50 percent. The authors' model predicts that by 2015, poverty will be reduced in 85 of the 119 countries included in their analysis. The sharpest reduction is seen in Asia; given current trends, they predict 430 million people will be taken off the poverty rolls by 2015—a drop of 30 percentage points.
The developments in Asia, in fact, are the reason they say "the bulk of the fall in global poverty can be attributed to the two developing giants, India and China. They alone are responsible for threequarters of the [expected] reduction of the world's poor."
