Servings: 8
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps roughly chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crumbled cornbread
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 (3-pound) boneless turkey breast half
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a small roasting pan with nonstick spray.
To make the filling, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the apple, sage, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cornbread, cranberries, 1/4 cup of the broth, pecans, and butter until well mixed. Let cool 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the turkey breast, skin-side down, on a cutting board. Holding a sharp knife parallel to the board and starting at one long side, cut three quarters of the way through and open up turkey like a book. Place the turkey, skin-side down, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. With a rolling pin or meat mallet, pound the turkey to a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Remove and discard the plastic wrap. Spread the mushroom mixture onto the turkey, leaving a 3/4-inch border. From one short side, roll up the turkey jelly-roll fashion. Do not roll too tightly or the filling will slip out of the ends. Tie the rolled turkey at 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. Place, skin-side up, into the roasting pan.
Combine the fennel seeds, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the top of the turkey. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of broth around the turkey. Roast, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 155°F, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Remove the string before slicing. Arrange the slices on a platter. Spoon the pan juices over and serve at once.

Every employee will be assigned a supervisor who will have the authority to conduct Performance Reviews. Under normal circumstances the supervisor will be the "head of department", "head of section", "Dean of Faculty" or similar senior officer. In an academic department, the "head" may be of junior academic rank to some members of the department, but by virtue of their appointment as "head", will have the authority to conduct Performance Reviews.
It is noted that in some instances, an employee may routinely carry out job responsibilities which fall outside the norm to the extent that some person other than the supervisor may have a more accurate appreciation of the appraisee's performance in these areas. It is expected that the supervisor would actively seek feedback from this person for the purposes of a more accurate review. In such instances, while there may be a need for input from more than one supervisor, nevertheless the review itself must be carried out by the designated supervisor who has the greater supervisory responsibility.
Effective performance management occurs when the appraiser/appraisee situation mirrors the normal supervisor/employee reporting relationship. Existing practices, such as where secretarial or administrative employees are reviewed by an academic, are unchanged, provided the latter has primary responsibility for the organisation of the appraisee's work. In all situations where the appraiser does not have familiarity with the appraisee's work, it is incumbent on the organisation unit manager to negotiate an alternative arrangement with the Manager (Workforce Practices) in Human Resources.
It is also recognised that in some instances a supervisor may have a relatively large number of employees to supervise and it may not be feasible for meaningful Performance Reviews to be conducted on all who report to that supervisor. Depending on the level of appointment of employees and their level of autonomy in their respective roles, the number of employees to be reviewed by the supervisor should not normally exceed 15 persons. (Where too many employees report directly to a supervisor or where there may be a conflict of interest, another member of staff may be assigned to conduct the Performance Reviews. All parties must be informed where this is the case). Persons who receive this assignment must be trained in the processes of Performance Review.

The Calgary Hitmen Hockey Club would like to congratulate Brandon Glover on signing an amateur tryout with the Abbotsford Heat.
Glover, a native of Victoria, British Columbia, registered a 1.87 goals-against average and 0.941 save percentage in the 2012 WHL post-season, allowing seven goals on 118 shots-against in 224 minutes played.
During the 2011-12 regular-season, Glover was named both the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month and Ed Williams Player of the Month for November. The 19-year-old netminder posted a 6-1 record through November and led all WHL goaltenders that month with a 1.96 goals-against average and 0.933 save percentage.
The Heat close out their six-game home stand on Tuesday and Wednesday by hosting the Rochester Americans.

I have made this 5 times now. It sounds weird, but it is so, so good. For a quick weeknight meal, that's healthy and delicious this is one of my regulars. I don't really LIKE ground turkey, but I know it's a healthy protein so I try to get it into the weekly menu at least once. Ever since I tried it I've been trying to add currants and pine nuts to everything because the combo is amazing!

The Importance of Not Being a "Good Loser"
- Thursday, November 15, 2012
In this "season of absolutes," where candidates vie for the title of "Leader of the Free World," teams battle to be "World Series Champion" and contestants compete for the distinction of "Ultimate Survivor," we are encouraged, and maybe even begin, to believe one mantra.
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. -Vince Lombardi
There seems to be no place for second best in the world today. If you don't win at something, you either didn't try hard enough or aren't good enough. Whichever you choose to be the case, doesn't allow much room for effort, circumstances, grace or heart.
I played sports throughout my childhood, ran for a number of school offices and competed in a multitude of events. Although I would like to think I won more than I lost, there never seemed to be a substitute for first place. I was either a winner or I was a loser. To add to my disappointments when I didn't win, I was instructed to be a "good" loser.
Even to this day, I hear well-meaning coaches, parents and friends instructing young people in this way, almost apologetically.
Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser. -Vince Lombardi
A couple of years ago, I was sitting in a conference listening to a Christian speaker with whom I was unfamiliar. He perked my attention because he spoke of this identical dilemma he faced as a child of being taught there was no alternative to winning, but in the event he doesn't win to be a good loser about it. He asked himself and queried us, "Why would I or anyone want to be good at losing?"
That one question he posed made me consider how I pursue winning, success and accomplishments, and how I evaluate losses and disappointments in my life.
At times, it seems as if some of our churches today have propagated the notion that as Christians we should be "good losers," accepting of failure and tolerate a less than complete effort.
Luke 6:29 becomes the justification for a portion of that mindset, "If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also." However, this passage speaks of being merciful and loving towards your enemies, not having a lower standard by which to live by or thinking less of yourself in comparison to others.
Another defense is the passage from the Parable of Workers in the Vineyard, "So the last will be first, and the first will be last" (Matthew 20:16). The landowner was making the point it was his decision and his alone as to what he was to do with his money, and for us to live up to what we agree to do without regard to what others have arranged. This verse isn't an excuse for not doing our best or striving to be all we were meant to be.
Jesus didn't come to just "get by," be a part of the crowd and lead a life that was just satisfactory.
When His mother told Him "John 2," at the wedding, He didn't just come up with a bottle or two. According to many He produced approximately one hundred gallons of wine (six pots holding two or three firkins, thought to be about 7-1/2 gallons per firkin).
Jesus was alerted there were five thousand hungry followers in his midst. He blessed the bread and fish He received from a boy and "They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over" (Matthew 15:37).

Common Uses
Highly compensated individuals are often left underinsured for disability insurance benefits. Like most Americans, highly compensated individuals often maintain modest savings accounts relative to their monthly expenditures. This means that their need for disability insurance is equal to the normal standard of 65% of income – only in a larger monthly amount.
Accelerated Benefit To Age 65 Plan
The Accelerated Benefit To Age 65 plan was designed to provide an insured person with high-level coverage on top of any existing benefits while at the same time providing a benefit period that will provide income for the insured person to age 65. Since this policy is offered as an excess or supplemental policy, the insured person must have underlying group and/or individual disability coverage in force. When the insured person becomes disabled and the elimination period is fulfilled, the insured person will begin receiving monthly disability insurance benefits. If the insured person is totally disabled for a period longer than 120 months, the Accelerated Benefit Payout provision will be triggered and the policy will pay the remaining monthly benefits to age 65 as a lump sum without any additional definition restrictions.
- 5 Year Policy Term
- 90 Day Elimination Period
- "To Age 65" Benefit Period
- Accelerated Benefit Payout
- Coverage Beginning At Ages 35
- "Own Occupation" Including Specialty

This book is an excellent resource for those who want to learn more about the account of the tower of Babel as well as the events leading up to and occurring after it. It is broken down into thirty bite-sized chapters that address many common questions, as well as many questions you didn't know you had until you read the table of contents. Some of these include:
- Were Noah's Three Sons Triplets?
- Was the Pentecost a Reversal of What Happened at Babel?
- Was the Tower of Babel Build or Not?
One important thing to note is that this was written with a creationist (non-evolutionary) mindset. If you agree with the author, or if you disagree but are able to see past this, then I suggest this as a great read. However, if you prefer not to read something with this overt slant, then I recommend picking up a different resource on the subject.
Furthermore, the author does at times get up on a soapbox on issues dealing with creation vs. evolution that appear to have no relevance to the question at hand. However, the amount of information that is packed into these pages is well worth the occasional diatribe. The extensive research that went into producing this book, particularly in regards to the genealogies and subsequent formation of nations, is worth the price of this book.
One particularly interesting and novel concept discussed was the origin of Roman and Greek mythologies. Hodge describes their history and shows just how they link back to ancestral accounts in the Bible through their similar backgrounds, feats, and nomenclature. One such account would be the Samson-Hercules connection. In order to see how that connection is made, you will have to read the book. :)
However, in understanding how men become projected as being immortal, Hodge explains: "Consider how people look at their ancestors when a great-great-great grandfather outlives his descendants. It is not too difficult to see how people would start elevating their ancestors to a status of "immortal." They still died; they just outlived everyone else. But the people elevated them to a god-like status. Around the time of the judges in Scripture, we start to see more even ages and so the idea of immortals would pass into myths and legends in other cultures."
Worldview aside, I think that this is an amazing resource depicting the tower of Babel and the subsequent formation of nations. I would recommend to anyone looking for an easy, but in-depth look into this historical account.

As always, this is yet another excellent study by Sue Edwards. For those unfamiliar with the "Discover Together" series, Edwards designs each of her studies with the ability to be completed at three different depths, which the participant can choose based on her interest or availability during that week. The great thing is that whatever level you choose in the beginning doesn't set you up for the rest of the series. If you have more time available the first four weeks, but then life gets hectic the next five, then you can choose the best depth each week to suit your varying time constraints.
Additionally, this updated series contains links to videos roughly five minutes long within each chapter. This is wonderful as it allows a small group to have the best of both worlds: the visual appeal and group learning gained in a video series, as well as the structure and depth achieved with a book study.
I strongly recommend this study, as well as any others in the "Discover Together" series to any small groups looking for an excellent resource. Sue does a great job digging deep and shedding light on ideas and issues that you may not have discussed or thought above previously.

"We are called to show compassion, to support, defend and protect those in our care, to deliver from distress and to comfort. We are called to be conduits of God's grace in our homes. We are called to be like Christ."
This book was a very easy read. Instead of choosing to explore one's character using the virtues of the Proverbs 31 woman or espousing the value of submission and respect found throughout Christian literature, Alsup approaches it through a difference lens. She looks at it through the viewfinder of the gospel. While all of these topics and virtues are discussed in the book, she demonstrates that it all comes back to Christ's death and resurrection and re-frames our perspective accordingly.
There are so many great takeaways hidden throughout the book and little nuggets to ruminate on throughout the next week. Nuggets such as: "Godliness with contentment does not mean pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. The gospel does not obligate you to contentment. It equips you for contentment." and, "Worldly sorrow is characterized by feelings of shame, pain, or embarrassment that you got caught in sin. In contrast, godly sorrow is sorrow that directs you to Christ."
While this makes for a great read straight through, I recommend doing one chapter each week as a part of a women's bible study. This way you will benefit from multiple perspectives on each topic, as well as provide you time to mull over the take home messages rather than rushing past.

Tim Keller is an incredible pastor and writer who is very skilled in being able to deliver his message in such a way that it captivates you immediately and quickly draws you in. Galatians for You is written for those with all varying levels of knowledge and is guaranteed everyone will be able to glean a few new tidbits of knowledge from this great study.
This resource is especially great for those who are looking for a great study on Galatians but are maybe new to their faith and the thought of picking up an ordinary commentary intimidates them. Keller does a fantastic job easing these fears by writing in such a clear, unassuming manner without writing as if you were already aware of big theological words such as "substitutionary atonement". In fact, he goes so far as to mark the first appearance of each theological word in gray and includes its definition in the glossary in the back.
Additionally, Keller does an excellent job of using everyday illustrations and word pictures to make his point, which allows the reader to further identity with the point being made and to increase the likelihood of recall in the future.
I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those less theologically driven who want something more to the point and easily digestible.

Larson's book isn't so much telling you what your purpose is, as it is about trusting God's timing and looking to Him for what your purpose may be. She provides an excellent road map for navigating your way through uncertain times and how to focus and hone in on exactly God's calling for your life. As she states in her book, an un-appointed work is an unanointed work.
Her chapters discussing the four seasons in life (Run, Rest, Stand and Active Waiting) were particularly insightful. I would assume that many of us are interested in this book not because we find ourselves in the "Run" season - a time of favor and excellence - but rather because we find ourselves feeling stuck in one of the other three. She walks us through what temptations to expect during each season as well as the accompanying high ground in each. I found these sections to be very helpful as they not only discuss and provide reasons for why were encounter such seasons but she also shows ways through them and how to best utilize the season we are currently living in.
I especially liked the very thorough study guide and discussion questions that were presented at the conclusion of each chapter. These would make for excellent material to be done either as a personal study or in a group setting. The questions were very probing and thought provoking, and provided excellent food for thought for personal reflection.
I would recommend this book to those who are looking for understanding as to why they are currently in their particular "season" of life, as well as those who are looking to make the best of the current circumstances they find themselves in and are looking to understand God's current purpose for their life.

2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Bangladesh made a moderate advancement in its efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government passed the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act, which criminalizes trafficking. The Government also approved the Child Labor Elimination National Plan of Action (NPA). Over the reporting period the Government began a new initiative to eliminate child labor from urban slums and in rural areas. However, legal protections regarding child labor are limited, and the capacity to enforce child labor laws remains weak. Children in Bangladesh continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor, particularly in dangerous activities in agriculture and in domestic service.
Prevalence and Sectoral Distribution of the Worst Forms of Child Labor
Children in Bangladesh are engaged in the worst forms of child labor, primarily in dangerous activities in agriculture and in domestic service.(3-6) Children working in agriculture may use dangerous tools, carry heavy loads, and apply harmful pesticides.(7, 8) In Bangladesh, they frequently work long hours, are exposed to extreme temperatures, and suffer high rates of injury from sharp tools.(4, 9) Children work in poultry farming and in drying fish, which exposes them to harmful chemicals, dangerous machines, and long hours of work in the hot sun.(5, 6, 10-12)
Children, mostly girls, work as domestic servants in private households in Bangladesh where they work long hours and are subject to discrimination and harassment, in addition to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.(5, 12-15)
Children are also involved in manufacturing, including in salt mining; recycling; dismantling and remanufacturing of metal structures; and the production of soap, matches, bricks, cigarettes, footwear, furniture, glass, jute, leather, and textiles.(5, 6, 12, 13, 16) While producing these goods, often in small workshops or homes, they face dangers that may include work with hazardous chemicals and sharp objects, cramped conditions with low lighting, long hours, poor hygiene conditions, operating heavy machinery, and carrying heavy loads.(6, 12)
Children collect and process shrimp, which has led to back injuries, repetitive strain, muscle inflammation, diarrhea, and infections.(5, 17) Children also work in the ship breaking sector, applying gas torches to cut iron into pieces and carrying dismantled ship parts into shipyards. Children lack the physical strength necessary for ship breaking and risk cuts, burns, and exposure to hazardous chemicals.(18, 19)
Children are also found working on the streets, garbage picking, vending, begging, and portering. These children are vulnerable to exploitation, such as selling or smuggling drugs.(5, 6, 12, 20)
Although information is limited, children reportedly work in hotels and restaurants, where they may face long working hours; in informal garment production, where they are exposed to loud noise, extreme temperatures, sharp tools, machinery, and dust; and fish drying, which they may perform under conditions of forced or indentured labor.(11, 12, 21-23) There is also limited evidence that children work in tea production, some for no compensation.(24)
Bangladeshi children are also exploited in the commercial sex industry; some children are trafficked internally and others across borders for sexual exploitation.(25) Children are also trafficked internally for domestic servitude and forced and bonded labor.(26) Boys and girls are exploited in illicit activities including smuggling and trading arms and drugs.(12, 27)
Laws and Regulations on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Labor Code establishes 14 as the minimum age for work and 18 as the minimum age for hazardous work, although it permits children ages 12 and 13 to perform light work with certain restrictions.(28) The Code also limits the hours children ages 14 to 18 can work.(5, 28) However, the Labor Code excludes many sectors of the economy in which children work, including small farms and domestic service.(28)
In 2012, the Government approved a list of hazardous work prohibited for children; however, the list is considered a draft until it receives formal approval by the Cabinet, and by the end of the reporting period, the Cabinet had not given this approval.(29, 30) The list contains 36 occupations such as ship breaking, leather manufacturing, construction, and work in automobile workshops.(5, 31)
The Labor Code also prohibits parents or guardians from making employment agreements on behalf their children, and the Penal Code prohibits forced labor.(5, 28) Those who violate the Penal Code are subject to a fine or imprisonment of up to 1 year, which may not serve to deter the crime.(12, 28)
In February 2012, the Parliament approved a national anti-trafficking law, the Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act of 2012, which expands the definition of trafficking to include labor trafficking, includes protections for men and boys, and makes trafficking a capital offense with a maximum sentence of the death penalty.(29, 30) The Penal Code and the Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act of 1933 criminalize the prostitution of girls under age 18.(5, 32)
In February 2013, the Cabinet approved the Children's Act; however, as of the end of the reporting period, the Act still awaited Parliamentary approval.(33) Once enacted, the Act will change Bangladesh's legal definition of a child as a person under the age of 14 to one under the age of 18, and will criminalize any kind of cruelty inflicted on children while they are working in both the formal and informal sectors. In addition, the Act will prescribe punishments for using or exploiting children in begging; in brothels; and in carrying drugs, arms, or other illegal commodities.(5)
Bangladesh has only voluntary military service. While there is no legislation establishing a minimum age for voluntary military recruitment, each branch has designated its own minimum age; the Air Force sets its enlistment age at 16 years, with a minimum age of 18 to serve in combat roles.(5, 34)
Although the law establishes that education is free and compulsory in Bangladesh, the costs of teacher fees, books, and uniforms are prohibitive for many families.(5, 12) The 2010 Education Policy raised the age of compulsory education from grades five to eight; however, until the law is amended to reflect the new compulsory education age, the policy is not enforceable.(5, 9, 35)
Institutional Mechanisms for Coordination and Enforcement
The Government of Bangladesh operates a Child Labor Unit (CLU) in the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MOLE) to coordinate and supervise programs to counter child labor.(12, 36) In collaboration with partner ministries and stakeholders, the CLU also monitors child labor elimination program activities and oversees the collection and storage of data in the Child Labor Monitoring Information System.(36, 37)
The Office of the Chief Inspector of the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments under the MOLE is responsible for enforcing labor laws, including child labor provisions. The MOLE employed 183 labor inspectors nationwide during the reporting period.(5, 30, 35) Working from one of 31 offices located across the country, each inspector conducts between five and 100 inspections monthly.(5) There are five inspection teams dedicated to monitoring labor violations in the shrimp sector, and specialized monitoring teams that regularly inspect ready-made garment factories.(5, 35, 36)
The Government did not report the number of investigations conducted, nor any violations or penalties imposed during the reporting period, but has indicated that it does not have sufficient inspectors to effectively identify all cases of child labor.(5, 30) Under the MOLE's Child Labor NPA, the National Child Labor Welfare Council is charged with monitoring child labor at the district and upazilla (sub-district) levels.(5, 30, 38)
In December 2012, the Government approved Child Protection Networks at the district and upazilla level. These networks are mandated to respond to a broad spectrum of violations against children, including child labor, and to monitor interventions and develop referral mechanisms.(5)
The MOHA is the lead agency designated to enforce the country's forced labor and anti-trafficking laws, including child trafficking.(23, 37) It operates an anti-trafficking police unit in Dhaka comprised of 12 police officers charged with investigating all forms of trafficking and provides anti-trafficking training to police officers and other public officials.(5) MOHA also chairs an inter-ministerial anti-trafficking committee that oversees and monitors national and district level efforts to combat human trafficking.(5, 23, 26) The total number of inspections carried out is unknown. The Government reported 36 new cases of child trafficking over the reporting period involving 95 traffickers, 24 of whom were arrested by the police and handed over to the judicial system.(30) However, only two of these cases ended in convictions.(30)
Government Policies on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The National Child Labor Elimination Policy (NCLEP) (2010) aims to eliminate the worst forms of child labor by 2015.(35, 39) The NCLEP serves as a guide to initiate sustainable interventions that will remove children from the worst forms of child labor and provide them viable alternatives to work.(30) The Child Labor NPA lays out the NCLEP's implementation strategy, including the mobilization of resources and coordination of efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor.(5, 30) The proposed budget for implementation of the Child Labor NPA is $93 million over a 4-year period (2012-2016).(5, 30) The MOLE oversees Child Labor NPA committees at the national, district, and upazilla levels.(5)
Child labor is incorporated into a number of Government policies and planning documents, including the Sixth Five Year Plan (2011-2015), the National Plan of Action to combat human trafficking (2012-2014), the National Labor Policy, the National Education Policy (2010), the National Plan of Action for Education for All (2003-2015), the National Skills Development Policy (2011), and the National Policy for Children (2011).(29, 30, 35, 37, 40)
During the reporting period, the MOLE began work on the Domestic Workers' Protection and Welfare Policy, designed to help protect the rights of child domestic workers.(30)
Social Programs to Eliminate or Prevent the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Bangladesh participated in the USDOL-funded 4-year Global Action Program on Child Labor Issues, which is active in approximately 40 countries. In Bangladesh the project aims to improve the evidence base on child labor and forced labor through data collection and research.(41)
During the reporting period, the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs and the Ministry of Social Welfare collaborated with UNICEF on a new initiative to eliminate child labor from urban slums and in rural areas.(5) The program's child-focused social protection approach includes the provision of conditional cash transfers and empowerment training; outreach and referral; and social protection services for targeted beneficiaries. The program will reach 500,000 children and 30,000 adolescents between 2012 and 2016.(5, 30)
Also during the reporting period, the Government continued to implement Phase III of the Eradication of Hazardous Child Labor project (2011-2013), which targets 50,000 children between the ages of 10 and 14 for withdrawal from hazardous labor through non-formal education and skills development training.(35, 42) Phases I and II succeeded in withdrawing 50,000 children from child labor.(5)
The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education continued to implement the Basic Education for Hard-to-Reach Urban Working Children project. Between 2004 and 2012, the project provided an average of 3.4 years of non-formal education to 166,000 out-of-school children between the ages of 10 and 14 in urban areas.(30)
The Government continued to participate in a USAID-funded project that builds capacity of the police to identify and prosecute traffickers, expand public awareness on trafficking, and provide services to trafficking victims. Additionally, the Government supported nine shelters for women and children who have experienced violence, including trafficking, and is participating in a child helpline service funded by the Danish International Development Agency.(5, 30, 43)
During the reporting period, the Government continued to manage two anti-trafficking projects, namely the Community Based Working Child Protection Project and the Actions for Combating Trafficking-in-Persons. These programs aim to combat human trafficking, enhance preventive and protective measures, improve victim care, and strengthen the Government's capacity to prosecute trafficking-related crimes.(30, 36, 44)
The Employment Generation Program for the Poorest, Bangladesh's largest social safety net program, provides short-term employment for the rural poor.(45, 46) The Vulnerable Group Development Program is Bangladesh's other large social safety net initiative. It provides vulnerable families with food assistance and training in alternative income-generating opportunities.(30, 47, 48) In 2012, the Government continued to pilot a study to assess the feasibility of creating a national population database that would improve access to the country's social safety net programs.(49)
Based on the reporting above, the following actions would advance the elimination of the worst forms of child labor in Bangladesh:

Tobey Maguire packs a perfect Peter Parker as the friendly neighbourhood geek who is transformed into a web-slinging crimefighter after being bitten by a genetically altered spider. Completely aware that with great power comes great responsibility, director Sam Raimi does Stan Lee's comic-book hero true justice with a yarn which is both visually stunning and emotionally engrossing.

In 2008, there was a little concept by the name of the Saab 9-4X BioPower that was introduced at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. Two years later, Saab has finished polishing off the production version and will be revealing the second all-new model to be launched under the Spyker ownership at the Los Angeles Motor Show in mid-November.
The 9-4X will be built on an all new platform called the Theta Premium that mixes components from GM's Theta and Epsilon 2 platforms. It will find itself with its own exterior and interior stylings, but will have a dashboard design that will be similar to the new 9-5. The 9-4X will be offered with a 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 petrol engine as the sole engine, but Saab is working on a diesel option for the future. The concept was powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter BioPower turbo engine that delivered 300 HP and strong torque of 295 lb.-ft. With this engine, Saab wanted to demonstrate its commitment to "rightsizing" – achieving sufficient levels of performance with a smaller, more efficient engine.
Sales in the USA will begin in late 2011.

District-level Coordination Meetings and Convention (Orissa, India)
As part of local alliance building, coordination meetings of partner NGOs associated with KARRTABYA (Kalahandi District), AYAUSKAM (Nuapada District) and ANKURAN (Rayagada District) were held to discuss proper implementation of the WLWs and to devise methods to inculcate a leadership spirit among women PRI members. Activities of the last quarter were also reviewed and a plan of action was finalized for January 2008.
The team at Nuapada held a district-level workshop in Khariar, Nuapada on November 5, 2007. This featured a women's convention in which the attendees included women panchayat representatives, Zilla Parishad President, Vice-President, The Hunger Project State Coordinator, Aradhana Nanda, Mr. J.K. Mund, President, (Farr) and Partners of Ayauskam.
The workshop provided a good interface for the elected women representatives and other leaders to share their experiences and problems with each other. The main complaint the elected women had against the authorities was the bungling of the PDS and the NREGA schemes. They had also brought with them samples of the rice provided in the PDS scheme to show the Collector, but the Collector could not attend the convention due to some other work. Nevertheless, the elected women leaders have resolved to pursue this matter until it is rectified.
Story from the Field
Trained by The Hunger Project-India and its partner the Institute of Women's Development (IWD), thirty-nine year old Martha Badaraita, sarpanch of Bada Kalapat Gram Panchayat in Gumma block of Gajapati district, in the eastern state of Orissa, has set a new record in the state by successfully starting and implementing work worth US$119,266. Her panchayat has undertaken various works such as road construction, check dams, irrigation canals, plantation and terracing projects and the proper implementation of the flagship scheme of the present UPA government 'The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme' (NREGS). The sociological e-magazine, "View Point" has carried an article highlighting her work and success. This article can be read here. A leading commercial news channel, NDTV (Hindi) also telecast an interview with Martha on August 17, 2008.
On the December 10, 2007, Human Rights Day, a district convention of women organizations from FARR, Kalahandi Women Cell and LASK got together to discuss female feticide and the need to enforce the Prenatal Diagnostic Test Act (PNDTA) more stringently. About 60 EWRs participated in the meet, which was also attended by several district officers. The assembled women shared their experiences. Some cases of violence against women, such as case of a widow who is being harassed by her in-laws and a case of an unmarried girl who was sexually harassed on the false assurance of marriage and subsequently imprisoned, have been identified with LASK promising to follow them up.

Okay so when I say the blog is under construction, I just wanna clear some things up.
1.) The demon form Sonja arc will still be happening, but I will post the first part of it again to essentially start it over.
2.) I am keeping the questions given and will answer them after construction is finished. The previous posts will be deleted accept for a few which will help anyone with general plot.
3.) There will be some changes among characters and I will put some short "comics" to explain the changes. (i.e. Someone might get new clothes so I'll show them with another character, ordering clothes from Ainsley.

PVE is too easy and relies too much on optional stress to make it harder. Sarth xD is the equivalent of hey let's just run through some trash to the boss. That's not content. That's akin to the lazy recoloring philosophy at Blizzard.
Too much homogenization, in gear as well as class abilities. I don't want half the raid to be able to overwrite my buffs. I don't want to feel that if I just logged out now nothing would be missing other than some dps. Everyone should have at least one unique buff. In BC i was arms dps. My dps wasn't the best and my spec was relatively uncommon but I brought a unique buff that allowed me to play the way I wanted while contributing. My class now has a single useful (HP) buff.
PVP with the exception of wintergrasp is just a waste of time. Bgs have been the same since vanilla, with the exception of the unenjoyable and gimmicky EOTS and SOTA. Some acknowledgment of the death knight's overpowered state would be nice.
With the introduction of DKs and the absolute failure of balancing warriors I really feel my class just is not cared for currently. There was nothing wrong with having classes be different. Right now it wouldn't matter anyway since everything is so easy. You don't need to min/max any more, so how about some individuality?

LINCOLN — Tommy Armstrong has been here before. At Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas, he was thrust into action as a young guy to lead the way at quarterback.
Against South Dakota State in Lincoln Saturday in his first start at Nebraska, the redshirt freshman was thrown to the wolves — asked to carry the load in the absence of Taylor Martinez who was sidelined with a turf toe injury.
From the first snap Armstrong was in command and running the Nebraska spread offense to near perfection, helping NU rack up 645 yards of total offense in a 59-20 win over the Jackrabbits.
Going into the game Armstrong and senior Ron Kellogg knew they would be alternating every two offensive series, as Martinez watched from the sidelines wearing a headset.
Armstrong said he learned early in the week that he would be called to lead the offense. He responded with 169 yards passing on 12-of-15 passing, including a 16-yard touchdown strike to Sam Burtch. Armstrong rushed five times for 38 yards.
"I was told by coach (Tim) Beck 'we're going to put you out there first,'" Armstrong said. "Taylor told me to be patient and don't try to win the game myself. Coming up here wasn't anything new, to come in as a young guy. We're all a family. We take criticism from each other.
"Honestly, I couldn't sleep last night. My whole thing is to compete and be the No. 1 guy. They told me Taylor might one day go down."
Kellogg said that both he and Armstrong benefited from being able to talk to Martinez about the offense after every series.
"At first he didn't know how to turn the headset on," Kellogg said about Martinez. "It was awesome to come off the field to talk football with him."
Though much is often made about who is the No. 2 or No. 3 guy on the depth chart, Kellogg said all the quarterbacks want what's best for the team.
"Whoever is the better quarterback that week should play," Kellogg said. "I'll be a supporter of anyone who goes out there."
Receiver Quincy Enunwa said it doesn't matter which quarterback is on the field, although Armstrong is the more athletic of the two.
"With our quarterbacks you never want to have a backup that's not ready to play," he said. "He definitely has the confidence from winning in high school."
Armstrong said the offensive line made it easy to make the right reads and hit receivers.
"I probably got touched once or twice," he said. "They gave me good protection. They told me to do what I do during practice."
Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini said it doesn't matter whether Kellogg or Armstrong are leading the offense.
"We have a lot of confidence in Tommy and Ron," Pelini said. "When you see them do it in the game it's a lot easier to have confidence. I thought they managed the game well. They walked into that huddle and were playing with a swagger."
Kellogg finished with 136 yards passing and completed eight of nine attempts. He led Nebraska on a 79-yard, one minute, 29-second drive near the end of the half, ending in a field goal.

(NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director Chet Flippo.)
Walk the Line works
so well as a movie because it does not try to be a music epic. Instead, it's a drama about a man who happened to be a musical
artist. Of all the music biopics I recall, this joins the two other really good, solid films that have been made about music
artists in recent years: The Buddy Holly Story and Ray. Although those were hardly perfect, they worked because
they reduced music legends to human scale, warts and all.
Ray had many imperfections I could quibble with, but
no major ones. The big flaw of The Buddy Holly Story was its slanted portrayal of producer Owen Bradley and his Nashville
sessions with Holly.
It's ironic that Cash's only real jail time -- an overnight stay for being busted for buying speed
in Mexico -- becomes a central focus of Walk the Line and is portrayed as a major news scandal at the time, which it
was not. It melds into a prison/jail metaphor for Cash, which was, though, a very real theme of his career, and thus his life.
In a very convincing scene, Cash (Phoenix) tries to justify his pills to his beleaguered first wife Vivian (played by Gennifer
Goodwin) by telling her they're "prescription pills" and that he was busted only because he bought them in Mexico without
a prescription.
A common thread running through all three movies is the very careful --and ultimately skillful and
successful -- casting of the lead actor. Gary Busey totally inhabited Buddy Holly's character and life, as did Jamie Foxx
as Ray Charles. Joaquin Phoenix does the same with Johnny Cash, at least the Cash of this particular part of his life, which
is a very narrow slice of his whole life and career. But Phoenix carries that brooding intensity of the young Cash, the explosive
nature, the total unpredictability of this emerging forceful star.
The fact that Phoenix sings as Cash at first seems
startling. But the fact that all three lead actors in Holly, Ray and Walk the Line sang the music of
their characters also became the key in their credibility in convincing audiences they could actually become their characters.
Busey did for Holly and Foxx for Charles, Phoenix very graphically inhabits the very spark and spirit of Cash. The film opens
with a triumphant concert at Folsom Prison. The story line pretty much carries Johnny Cash from his childhood (presented through
flashbacks) on a farm in Arkansas up through the stormy early years of his career, leading up to June Carter finally accepting
his offer of marriage. The early moments of the film establish the two lifelong bête noires of Cash's life: his
domination by his abusive father, Ray, (acerbically played by the forceful Robert Patrick) and the accidental sawmill death
of his older brother, Jack. The latter was intended to be the star of the family, and Ray Cash never let his son forget about
that until he, the father, died. Cash in turn felt guilty about Jack's death his whole life. Phoenix begins almost tentatively
with his own early Johnny Cash but quickly grows in the role until he seems to fill the screen every time he appears.
clichés include Cash getting a standing ovation the very first time he told an audience, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." And
in a standard star-is-born moment, Sun Records' Sam Phillips initially seems resistant to Cash. But he almost instantly recognizes
his genius, practically saying, "Oh, you're Johnny Cash. Sure! You're OK!" And, although the movie shows June Carter
writing "Ring of Fire" all by herself, we know that in real life, Merle Kilgore was credited as co-writer. The full story
of how that song came about may never be known. But that would be hard to show onscreen.
Reese Witherspoon's performance
here is a delightful surprise. She totally captures the deceptively-complicated June Carter persona and is totally believable
as Cash's longtime obsession and the ultimate foundation of his life. And she very credibly sings Carter's songs.
Witherspoon and Phoenix deliver a glowing performance as country music's most compelling couple.
Are Phoenix and Witherspoon
great singers? No. Does that really matter? No. It works in the movie. I doubt their voices would stand up well on a CD, so
I will probably not listen to the soundtrack album. Keep the magic on the screen, where it belongs.

IIHF World U20 Championship DIV I Group B ResultsSubmitted by chad on December 23, 2009 - 21:15
Lightning draftee Kirill Gotovets recently competed in Poland with his native Belarus in the IIHF World U20 Championships, DIV I Group B tournament. Gotovets, a defenseman, and his Belarus teammates were attempting to qualify for the 2011 World Junior Championships (WJC) in the U.S. by advancing out of the division.
Belarus (3-0-2) finished with the silver, however, and won't join Canada, Russia, Sweden, and the like next year. Gotovets went scoreless in two games played, while accumulating four penalty minutes and seven shots on goal. The Cornell University commit will now return to Shattuck St-Mary's school in Minnesota, where he has three goals and nine points to go with 49 penalty minutes in 19 games.
Norway advanced out of Group B and will join Germany (Group A) as entries in next Christmas' WJC tournament.

The earliest audio scam I can recall is fancy wire for connecting loudspeakers, and it's still going strong. These days vendors claim their wire yields better sound quality when compared to normal wire, and, of course, it's much more expensive than normal wire. In truth, the most important property of speaker wire is resistance, which is a function of its thickness. The resistance must be low to pass the high-current signals a power amplifier delivers, and is exactly analogous to a large water pipe allowing more flow than a small pipe. For short distances - say, up to five feet - 16 gauge wire of any type is adequate, though thicker wire is needed for longer runs.
The three other wire parameters are inductance, capacitance, and skin effect. But those are not a factor with usual cable lengths at audio frequencies, especially when connecting speakers to a power amplifier. Low capacitance wire can be important in special cases, like between a phonograph cartridge and its preamp. But high quality, low capacitance wire can be had for pennies per foot. Wire scams are very popular because wire is a low-tech device that's simple to manufacture, and the profit margin is extremely high. I could devote this entire article to wire scams, but instead I'll just summarize that any audio (or video) cable costing more than a few dollars per foot is a rip-off.
Even sillier than expensive speaker wire is replacement AC power cords and most other power "conditioner" products. The sales claims sound logical: Noise and static can get into your gear through the power line and damage the sound. In severe cases it's possible for power-related clicks and buzzes to get into your system, but those are easily noticed. The suggestion that subtle changes in "clarity and presence" can occur is plain fraud. Indeed, every competent circuit designer knows how to filter out power line noise, and such protection is routinely added to all commercial audio products. Spending hundreds of dollars on a six-foot replacement power cord ignores the other hundred-odd feet of regular wire between the wall outlet and power pole./p>
