Sad about self-weaning a rainbow baby
DS2 seems to be self-weaning He's not my first rainbow baby but he did come after 2 back-to-back losses and the one right before him was an 11 week loss that was REALLY hard on me. Even though all my babies are special to me, I won't lie and say I don't have a strong attachment to DS2 for the above reasons. I'm just sooooo sad that he might be weaning already
We've been sick (all of our family including me and him) off and on since Thanksgiving. He had starting biting (has 5 teeth) so I'd just tell him no-no no bite! But he cries and cries when I tell him no and refuses to nurse. Then 2 days ago he just stopped nursing. Cold turkey. Yesterday he didn't nurse all day. Not even for nap or to go to bed last night! He woke up at 6 am and nursed VERY short. Then nothing today till bed time for a short time. Any my boobs don't hurt so maybe there's no milk? Is it just sickness? Is it a strike? Is he really self-weaning already??? He's not yet 1 (Jan 14th). I'm sooo sad that my rainbow baby is growing up way too fast

I'm in the same boat! My DS will be 1 on 1/31 and we're on day 5 of a nursing strike. Well at least I hope it's a nursing strike... I honestly don't know if he'll go back. I keep offering & offering but he turns away and cries and wants nothing to do with my breast.
I've been told it's a strike because:
-very rarely does a baby under 18-24 months self wean,
- there were several triggers just before the strike started... the stress and hustle/bustle of the holidays, my stress over my mom coming to visit in 2 weeks, my losing sleep, decreased milk supply, and ds had a fever of 102.
I'm so worried that he won't go back though because he is LOVING the bottles. I stopped using the fast flow & went back to the slow flow so hopefully he won't get too lazy & impatient. I've been pumping & feeding him bm but can only get about 1/2 of what he drinks in a day, so the remainder is ff.
Keep us updated on how it goes, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Re: Sad about self-weaning a rainbow baby
It sounds like for both of you the babies are very interested in their surroundings and a bottle is easier to take and go. Try making nursing a play time by bringing a book to look at or toys to explore. Let baby latch on and watch TV. Or play in the bed with your shirt off, chase baby, let baby chase you. DD loves to explore my face, mouth, while nursing. Having a few days of being available and relaxed might help a lot. I would put water in some of the bottles, but that might be the wrong advice.
Two times my milk has dried up on week-long trips away from DS, and I got it back 100% each time by being patient and offering my breast a lot. She would refuse it a lot too, but eventually she comes back. She is 19mo old now. Good luck to you both!

On the Econsultancy blog, we have previously debated the mobile site vs. app conundrum. However, we haven't done it in the context of considered purchases.
So, is this a good idea? I've explored some data that may help to answer that question...
In a survey conducted by Econsultancy in 2012, the majority of consumers were found to prefer using a mobile website over a mobile app, although other studies have found the opposite.
Do you prefer to use a mobile website or an app?
The other fact to consider is that consumers typically use multiple devices on their purchasing journeys. Therefore an app may not be appropriate where consumers switch frequently between devices.
The following graphic illustrates how journeys started on one device often end on another:
Apps that work well for considered purchases are typically those with a visually immersive experience. One example is DFS.
Travel is another considered purchase. This represents a big spend for most people, and they will naturally spend time researching locations and hotels, as well as comparing prices between different providers.
indeed, 48% research travel purchases on mobile and 49% on tablets, compared with 55% on desktop.
While fewer will actually complete the purchase on mobile. Just 27% completed purchase on smartphone and 39% on tablets. Still a significant amount.
The report also shows that consumers aren't afraid of making big travel purchases on mobile.
44% of respondents stated that they were willing to spend more than $500 on travel-related purchases using their smartphone or tablet. At the other end of the scale, only 13% of consumers said they wouldn't make a travel purchase using their mobile device.
How much are you willing to spend on travel when making a purchase with your smartphone or tablet?
Before choosing to use an app for a sales and marketing channel, the key questions should be asked:
- What devices do our target audience use? How do they behave on these devices?
- How frequently will customers be interacting with our website or app? Is it worth spending money on multiple apps or should we just have a mobile site?
- What tasks are they frequently trying to accomplish?
- Do we have development resource in place to update the app continuously and make improvements as required?
Comments (3)
Nice article.
An important addition to the key questions would be the amount of repeat purchasers a retailer gets. ie: An app makes a lot more sense for most clothing retailers rather than businesses that offer less frequent purchases such as white goods.
No problem Andrew.
We also posted this on our blog today which is fitting: http://poqstudio.com/2013/11/customer-loyalty-on-mobile-apps-and-mobile-sites-a-comparison-statistics/

What to CookFish
Dinner Tonight: Generous at the Table
In amanda's description of the inspiration behind her recipe for beet greens, she mentions that she was raised with the mantra "thrifty in the kitchen, generous at the table". This meal embodies that ideal just about perfectly. Cod is usually inexpensive, and makes for a nice blank slate for flavorful accents like kalamata olives and tangy capers, while the leafy greens are made just a little bit extra delectable with a lightly creamy dressing. Healthy and comforting, this meal is everything a weeknight supper should be.
The Menu
Warm Beet Greens with Sour Cream Dressing by amanda
Cod Mare Chiaro by Giulia Melucci
The Grocery List (for 2)
4 medium red potatoes
1 pound cod
6 kalamata olives
fresh basil
beet greens (from 2 bunches beets)
1/2 cup sour cream
We assume you already have garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, canned (or fresh!) tomatoes, capers, salt, pepper, cider vinegar, and sugar. If not, you'll need those too!
The Plan
1. The beet greens need just a simple saute, so you'll want to tackle the fish first -- begin by roasting the potatoes.
2. While they roast, prep the remaining elements of the dish (tomatoes, etc.) as the recipe directs.
3. After the potatoes have been in the oven for 20 minutes, you'll make a spot in the pan for the fish, and let it all finish roasting together.
4. Beet green time! Saute them while the fish finishes up, and you should have a lovely hot meal in no time at all!
5. Sit down, relax and eat up. Generosity at the table, indeed!

1899-1961 - fiction
Paris retains an eternal allure for the creative. And the gifted expatriates who flocked to the City of Lights in the 1920s often felt the hallowed pursuit of their individual muses justified unconventional personal behavior. The Paris Wife by Paula McLain chronicles the courtship and subsequent marriage of Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway—a relationship strained and eventually damaged by their friends' hedonistic lifestyles.
Hadley, who was seven years his senior, met her future husband in Chicago. Although quite the ladies' man, Hemingway was immediately drawn to her wholesome beauty, even temperament, and courage. Hadley's unconditional support bolstered Hemingway, a man already plagued by multiple demons, and gave him the companionship he needed to wholeheartedly pursue his writing.

Matador Grassbank
Neighbor-to-Neighbor Conservation
The Conservancy's pioneering grassbank is centered at our 60,000 acre Matador Ranch. Under the program, local ranchers pay discounted fees to graze their cattle on the Matador in exchange for wildlife-friendly practices on their own operations. The minimum requirement for membership in the grassbank is a committment to control noxious weeds and not break any new ground (sodbusting). After that, the lease price drops for additional conservation measures. For example, protecting prairie dog habitat earns a discount, securing Sage-grouse leks earns another, modifying fences, that's right, more money off the lease price.
The agreements secure habitat for grassland wildlife; increase the use of wildlife-friendly fencing, protect streams; control weeds;and prevent plowing under native prairie.
Community-led Conservation
The program evolved in 2002 after the area had suffered from three years of severe drought, and ranchers were facing selling off their herds if they didn't find grazing. They found grass at the Matador. The program helped the ranchers rest their drought-weary ranchlands, and helped the Conservancy develop positive relations among neighbors.
"We are real pleased with this opportunity," says rancher Dale Veseth, "This has made a huge difference in this community… When you help feed families and cows, they'll remember."
Ranchers on the Matador Grassbank © Ami Vitale
A Growing Success
The local ranchers help plan and manage the grassbank. The result is that participating ranchers, along with the Matador, have improved habitat across more than 250,000 acres in south Phillips County. They have also helped us:
- Protect more than 53,000 acres of habitat for highly threatened Greater Sage-Grouse
- Remove or modify 50 miles of fencing that endangered wildlife
- Protect more than 3,600 acres of prairie dog towns
- Control and monitor weeds on nearly 200,000 acres
The grassbank has allowed ranchers to broaden their stewardship in ways that increased benefits to wildlife, without reducing the already slim profit margins for ranching. This partnership has helped conserve some of the most important remaining habitat for grassland birds, pronghorn, prairie dogs, and Sage grouse in the country.

Hi all :-)
I have decided to take on the 2012 FItness Challenge for a couple reasons. For the past year or so I have been rebuilding my credit by clearing up collection accounts and settling with a couple lenders. At this point I have become current on all accounts and expect a few of the negative accounts to start purging off CRs. This challenge is a great fit for me because right now my new focus is to establish a few good credit lines and increase my credit score. I really need to get the score up because I am expecting to be in the market for a car around the first of the year. So I guess my immediate goals are:
1. Pay off installment loan by year end (current balance of $1500)
2. PIF CC each month to establish/maintain a good payment history with new lines of credit (Capital One Rewards 500 CL and Walmart storecard 500 CL)
3. Increase score for auto loan (aiming for 720-750 range)
Excited about the challenge and thoroughly enjoy reading about everyone's journey!
I am getting ready for my first home. Started doing some credit research and my past is haunting me. I have about 4 late pays with 3 coming of end of year (12-05). One car loan and 380 in Discover debt (14% utilization) hopefully paid off ny end of 9-12. I am hoping to get a great home loan early next year. No new apps for the last 5 years and hoping the next one is my mortgage loan! I welcome this challenge!!!
I recently finished a DMP in just under 4 years. I am now focused on paying off the one revolving account I am an AU on (I'm the only one who uses it.) My ultimate goal is to save a good amount for a mortgage down payment - I'm hoping to get there in about 2 years. And of course, I'd like the most favorable interest rate possible. In the meantime I would like to establish my own revolving credit account.
So I am so excited! My current Equifax score is at 584, and my Transunion is at 614, but my experian is at 515. So far I am doing pretty good, I would like to get into the 700 club.....
Been working to repair past credit history for quite sometime now... Have spent the last 6 years using buy here pay here lots and borrowing money using others credit... I have worked to repair mine and plan to purchase a new truck next year between march and June... A number of my bad credit accounts will hit their 7 year mark and begin disappearing... Lately I have been approved for different types of loans ranging from personal loans to an unsecured credit card... I now have 3 revolving accounts and 7 installment accounts... Everything that is open is in good standing and those in the past are trying to fall off... It is my wish as time goes by the others will fall off and I will be able to establish good patterns with my currents and reach my goal of 700...
I have decided to take the Fitness Challenge as a personal challenge to myself to get my financial health together. I am getting tired of not being able to move into the areas that I would like, because of my declining credit score. Having a roommate does not make things better, as I feel that I am the reason for why we cannot move into a nicer area that we rightfully deserve to be in. I am happy looking over everyone elses journey, and I am excited to update with the progress of my own.

Recently I've been running a variety of social ads to promote the Festival of Marketing, but due to a glitch in our purchase process, measuring the exact return has been more difficult than usual.
Luckily I'm able to see the silver lining in any cloud, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to talk about how data correlation can help uncover hidden social ROI.
We got a problem:
First of all let's look at my problem. As this was the first year that we've run the Festival of Marketing, the entire thing was a learning process, and in order to actually hit some very tight deadlines we needed to streamline the site development process.
As we already have a fairly well-optimised checkout installed on Econsultancy.com, so it made sense to use this when visitors to Festivalofmarketing.com proceeded to purchase.
In addition, FestivalofMarketing.com has separate analytics, meaning we can track on-site actions and referral traffic, but not final purchases.
From a UX perspective this is a minor niggle, it could be improved but it's not the end of the world. When it comes to measuring social revenue though, it's a complete nightmare.
I've written before about the way that social data is often sucked into the 'Direct' funnel, meaning it generally delivers better returns than you are able to measure. This is a big issue with organic social, but it also occurs with PPC, and we've got to justify those budgets after all.
In this case, the user is actually redirected to an entirely different site to complete purchase, so even more tracking code than usual is lost along the way.
Just to clarify the user journey in this case, here's a poor-quality diagram:
So how can I work out how effective my social ads are?
Correlation, my dear Watson...
First of all, we need to consider which data sets we do have access to.
Firstly, we can check our social posts and ads for CTR information. Here's a screenshot showing add response from LinkedIn:
Note those peaks on the 12th, 17th, 23rd etc, and also that almost vertical skyrocket at the end (more on that later). In the case of PPC it's all laid out neatly for you. If you're measuring organic stuff you'll probably have to plot this yourself.
Clicks will never match visits in analytics, but we can at least correlate this graph with traffic data from Festivalofmarketing.com:
Here we can clearly see corresponding (If slightly shallower) peaks and troughs in the data.
Finally, let's take a look at Econsultancy.com's analytics.
This shows converting traffic where FestivalofMarketing.com was the referring source:
Again we've got some corresponding peaks, so it's highly probable that our social PPC is influencing these sales peaks. But can we work out exactly how much cash social made us?
Yes... and no. The only real way to check this is to get our historical data hat on. Traditionally events are more likely to lead to social last-click transactions than our other products (which is why all this matters to me, I don't want my social traffic and revenue falling year on year)
Looking back over the year, social was responsible for about 18.9% of on-site conversions.
Not all of our conversions have a monetary goal though (and incidentally, why not help yourself to a free Facebook trends report), so conversion value is a little lower, around 15%.
As I mentioned, events typically have a higher social last-click value for Econsultancy, but given the amount of conjecture I'm going to go with the lower average figures, so we can reasonably assume that social was a factor in 15% of our online ticket sales.
Last-click purchase is always significantly lower than attribution for social, and in our case it tends to hover around 8%.
I'm not going to say how much we actually made in sales because the stock market would crash, fire and brimstone would fall from the skies, and I'd probably be cleaning out my desk, but I can say that I spent about £2,500 on social ads, so from these figures I can see that we're making a significant positive return from a mix of organic and paid social.
It's important to underline the fact that social doesn't work alone.
The Festival was promoted across all of our and our partners' channels, so social traffic would also be driven from a variety of sources on Twitter, Facebook etc, and backed up by editorial content, email, telesales, direct mail and more, but as you can see here, our total site revenue shows a similar correlation.
Total site revenue over period:
Incidentally, that peak at the end of the month is down to human nature. As much nail biting as it creates, there will always be a last minute rush for remaining event tickets just before deadline, because people are lazy.
Here social actually gets a boost because people see a tweet saying 'Last chance!' and it nudges them into action at the last minute.
Social makes money
Once again, social isn't about to give up an exact figure here, but by correlating data from a variety of sources we can get around these hurdles and show that it actively creates revenue.
This is a rather unique example, but similar data sets should allow you to identify the revenue created by events held on third party sites, and help to isolate social traffic driven by partners and other sources.

"Not all of our conversions have a monetary goal"
Obviously at the end of the day we all want people to spend money on our products and services but there are usually a lot of little conversions along the way that would be good to keep track off. One Tweet does not usually equal one sale but it could equal one download or one signup or one follower. That is a step towards the bigger conversion.
Nice case study Matt.
Hi Matt,
I should say an awesome case study which is a must read for every social media marketer.
I was thinking how about we could define a particular link for promotion across various media.
For eg : If you were promoting on email it could have a separate bitly shortlink compared to promotions on Twitter.
A tedious cumbersome process, but I have tried it out and it helps you give a clear understanding that which platforms are providing higher Return over Efforts (RoE).
I wish to know your & other readers view on this.
Hi Sagar,
Yes you should definitely be using separate campaign links for different channels, and it will give you a clearer picture - however, be aware that the information you receive will still be incomplete.
The way people share information from social channels means that it is inherently difficult to track, and attached code will often break meaning that a large proportion of your social traffic will be registered as 'Direct'. Have a look at my earlier post for more details on this:
Thanks for your comment!

The federal court panel considered the case for about six hours Sunday but reached no verdict.
Members said Saturday that they were at an impasse but were told to continue to try to reach agreement.
The jury began deliberations Jan. 8 but endured setbacks when two jurors left because of illness or conflicts.
It remains unclear whether they have resolved some of the approximately 50 counts against seven defendants, including reputed boss Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi and underboss Joseph "Moussie" Massimino.
The defendants are accused of sports betting, loansharking, operating illegal video poker machines and threatening debtors. The evidence includes years of FBI wiretaps and undercover work, but there's no violence alleged.

"While progress has taken place since the fall of Communism and subsequent breakup of the Soviet Union, there remains an urgent need to help the tens of thousands of elderly Holocaust victims and their heirs whose property claims remain unsatisfied," said WJRO President Ronald Lauder.
In response to the ongoing Immovable Property Review Conference (IPRC), which took place at the Czernin Palace, home to the Foreign Ministry of the Czech Republic, WJRO President Ronald Lauder noted that the meeting was another reminder of the need for prompt action.
Lauder remarked that Poland, Latvia, and Romania, Lauder were particular areas of concern. After more than two decades of foot dragging, WJRO is appalled that the government in Warsaw now adamantly refuses to offer any legislative gestures to address languishing private property claims. WJRO calls for Latvia to finally enact appropriate legislation for the return of Jewish communal property, concluding many years of discussion. Meanwhile, WJRO is disappointed that Romania, which did enact restitution laws, has failed to address the bureaucratic delays that have stalled the restitution and compensation process.
Conference Co-Chairman, Czech First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Jiri Schneider, declared before all of the diplomats in attendance that "injustices have to be addressed." What was wrongfully taken must be returned to their rightful owners. Ambassador Colette Avital, Chair, Centre of Holocaust Survivors in Israel, said, "It is long past time. Many survivors, whose property was taken from them, are now in need. Give them back what was stolen from them so they can live their years with some dignity."
The conference, organized by the European Shoah Legacy Institute, follows up on the Terezín Declaration, the Joint Declaration of the European Commission and 2009 Czech European Council Presidency and the 2010 Guidelines and Best Practices for the Restitution and Compensation of Immovable (Real) Property. The attendees are deliberating legislative developments and implementation, best practices, and legal and bureaucratic hurdles in restituting or compensating for communal, private, and heirless property.
Established in 1992, WJRO is an umbrella organization of international Jewish groups. WJRO seeks restitution of private and communal Jewish property and compensation when restitution is not possible and works with both governmental and Jewish organizations in order to assure appropriate restitution legislation and recovery of looted Jewish property.
WJRO member organizations attending the IPRC include: the American Jewish Committee; American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee; B'nai B'rith International; Claims Conference; European Jewish Congress; NCSJ: Advocates on Behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States & Eurasia; and World Jewish Congress.

Michael Pollan wrote a book titled The Omnivores Dilemma that discusses the commercial food industry and the popularity of processed foods and high fructose corn syrup. The book had a major impact on my thoughts about food and where it comes from. My wife and I seldom ingest food or drinks with high fructose corn syrup or food that has been highly processed.
He is shown on the Democracy Now TV show in two videos that are linked below.
In the first video he talks about the relationship to confinement pork farming in Mexico to the recent swine flu outbreak. As a past college professor who taught consumer behavior I also found his comments on large food companies making unhealthy food additives live sugar appear healthy to the consumer. Another example of this is eating Cheerios to lower cholesterol.
Click Video 1 to watch.
In Video 2 he talks about how our school lunch program creates addicts of highly processed foods since that is what they serve to children. For example chicken nuggets.
In conclusion he makes a logical assumption that we cannot address climate change without first addressing our food since our food system contributed to global warming.

I believe they will have an influence on how you think about food.

City won't maintain banners on light poles
Business owner asked to look at other options.
A request by a Gothenburg hotel owner to place banners on city street light poles has been denied.
At their Oct. 5 meeting, local city council members decided not to allow Comfort Suites Hotel owner Terry Jessen to hang welcome banners on the poles into his business on Platte River Drive because of upkeep.
During a September council meeting, Jessen had asked if he could visit with other business owners in the area to get their support to put welcome banners on the poles except for the banner on the pole closest to his business which would advertise the hotel.
City administrator Bruce Clymer was asked to investigate how Cozad handled banners on poles which he did, noting that it was a chamber of commerce project.
Different businesses sponsored the banners which were a certain size, Clymer said. Upkeep was done by the Cozad Chamber of Commerce.
Council member Jeff Whiting suggested that the local chamber or someone else besides the city be responsible for the banners—not individual business districts.
Clymer was advised to tell Jessen to explore other options.
The council will act on a resolution at a future meeting allowing Gothenburg State Bank to revoke, upon written request, an agreement with the city concerning a handicapped parking stall that shuts down a fourth lane of traffic of the bank's drive-through facility.
Bank president Matt Williams requested the resolution after the city recently installed a handicapped parking space in front of Peterson's Supermarket on 10th Street.
Williams said the bank doesn't need the fourth drive-through lane but most likely will in the future.
In other business, the council:
approved payment to the following businesses for improvements from a downtown revitalization grant

Marking The 40th Anniversary Of Roe v. Wade, Thousands To Pray For End To Abortion At National Prayer Vigil For Life
Jan 23, 2013, 05:07 EST
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Over 10,000 worshippers, many of them youth from schools around the nation, are expected to gather in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to pray for an end to abortion at the Opening Mass of the National Prayer Vigil for Life, Thursday, January 24, at 6:30 p.m., the eve of the annual March for Life. The vigil coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision on January 22, 1973, which legalized abortion nationwide. Since the decision was handed down, an estimated 55 million abortions have been legally performed in the United States.
"Marking the anniversary of the Roe decision each year could be disheartening in light of the lives lost and the lives shattered by abortion," said Susan Wills, assistant director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, "but this Mass and events this week are also a time to pray with faith and hope in God's mercy."
"The commitment and energy of hundreds of thousands of young people who are here to pray and to march on behalf of unborn children and grieving post-abortive mothers is proof that the pro-life movement is alive and growing and stronger than ever," she added.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston, Chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities, will be the principal celebrant and homilist at the Vigil Mass, concelebrated by fellow cardinals and many of the nation's bishops and priests. Following the Opening Mass, the Vigil will continue in the Crypt Church of the Basilica with confessions, a National Rosary for Life, Night Prayer according to the Byzantine Rite, and holy hours led by seminarians from across the country from midnight until 6:00 a.m.
That same evening, The Catholic University of America will host more than 1,200 pilgrims overnight.
On Friday, January 25, the Basilica will host Morning Prayer at 6:30 a.m. in the Crypt Church and the Closing Mass at 7:30 a.m. in the Great Upper Church. Bishop Kevin J. Farrell of Dallas will be the principal celebrant and homilist.
The National Prayer Vigil for Life is co-sponsored by the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, and The Catholic University of America.
Media are welcome to attend the Mass and speak with and interview pilgrims.
Media should check in at the Basilica's Great Upper Church Sacristy and present press credentials to Jacquelyn Hayes or a designated Basilica press representative to receive a press pass. Advance registration is preferred. Footage from the Mass may also be obtained by Satellite TV feed courtesy of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). For coordinates, or to register, contact Jacquelyn Hayes, director of communications for the Basilica, at 202-281-0615 or email@example.com.

Welcome to the Parents Protect! website
If you find this website useful, please help us continue our work by donating one pound to our 'Pound to Protect' appeal.
This website......
.....is an information and resources website which aims to raise awareness about child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, answer questions and give adults the information, advice, support and facts, they need to help protect children. It is run by child protection charity, The Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
Our Aim…
is to help parents and carers better protect children from sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. Our most important task is to prevent sexual abuse from taking place in the first place. We believe we can do this by:
- Helping to dispel some of the common myths around child sexual abuse and child sexual exploitation
- Giving parents and carers practical information that will help them keep youngsters safe from harm.
We understand that child sexual abuse and child sexual exploitation is something we'd rather not think and talk about – but we believe the best way of protecting children is for adults to do just that! By not being afraid to talk about the issues, we become much better able to understand the steps we can take to keep our children as safe as possible.
If at any point you have any questions, please submit them to Stop it Now! UK and Ireland using the confidential email service, or call the helpline to talk to a trained advisor.
Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
At Parents Protect we believe that the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children is preventable, not inevitable. As adults, there is much we can do to help protect children from harm by taking some simple steps.
Youngsters are immediately safer when parents and carers take the time to understand potential risks and take protective measures. Creating a family safety plan is a great positive first step in helping to create a protective environment for children and youngsters.
Get Help
As caring adults we are aware of so much that affects the lives of our children. If we notice changes that might mean that something is wrong we need to know where we can voice our concerns straight away, rather than feeling that we don't know what to do.
There is help and support available and steps need not be taken alone.
Seeking help and advice is the first step to preventing or addressing issues around child sexual abuse and child sexual exploitation.
Our comprehensive guide What's the Problem? is designed to help parents and carers better understand the risks posed to children by the internet, and identify ways to keep them safe online. You can download the PDF version here.
We need to have knowledge about the issues and be able to understand the signs of harmful behaviours before we can begin to safeguard the vulnerable from them. To help protect children from sexual abuse we need to feel confident that we:
Understand potential risks
Recognise the signs of possible abuse and exploitation in children
Are aware of inappropriate behaviour in adults
Know where to go for help if we have concerns and would like to talk about them
Our Online Learning Programme enables you to work through a number of topics at your own pace. The Programme aims to:
Provide you with the information you need about child sexual abuse
Show you how to create a family safety plan
Tell you who you can talk to if you are worried
You can contact the Stop it Now! Helpline or e-mail service if you have any questions at any point, as you work through the Programme.
Take Action
Beyond the immediate family we have a responsibility to make our communities as safe as possible.
This includes creating environments where children are protected from sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and other forms of harm. There is much we can do to build community strength and safety.

I think very highly of this website. I really liked the "room-mail" service. As a woman it made me feel more secure than giving out my email address to whoever wanted it. I had been searching for over a month before I signed up, and after I did I found my roommate in 2 days. Thank you so much. I will be referring my friends in the future. - Alice
Thank you so much for this fabulous service. I have never needed to find a place with a roommate so this was the best. I had a call in less than 12 hours after I placed my ad. I will be moving in to a perfect place with everything I ever dreamed of having in my own home. My new roommate is absolutely wonderful and we have so very much in common. This time next weekend I will be moving in to my new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! - Margie

Private Pension Sources Will Become More Important in the Future Says Think Tank
Jan 14, 2013, 04:00 EST
LONDON, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
REFORM says financial products enabling people to convert assets into income streams, such as equity release, will become more important in the future
According to a new report published by independent non-party think tank REFORM, as the UK struggles to deal with an aging population, the baby boomer generation and beyond will have to look to private streams of income to fund retirement. The UK government is already feeling the pinch and as a result it has cut back on public spending while at the same time raising taxes.
Currently the government picks up the slack where consumers fall short. For example, in 2009 the UK government was responsible for 83.2% of the total spending on health care and 49.8% of pensioner incomes. Work and private capital were responsible for just 11.9% and 38.3% respectively of pensioner incomes. But this will have to change says REFORM.
REFORM says there will need to be a greater emphasis on personal financial support using products such as equity release.
Equity release is a simple financial product designed to unlock cash metaphorically 'locked up' in a homeowner's property. Despite being cash poor, many retirees are sitting on virtual pots of gold as their homes are worth hundreds of thousands of pounds; many of these retirees are completely mortgage free. Equity release schemes often work in a similar way to mortgages; a loan is given based on the value of the property, with regular cash withdrawals also available. There are various types of equity release plans to choose from, each offering different benefits.
Bower Retirement Services is one of the leading equity release advisory firms in the country. It can assist in choosing type and provider of equity release and BRS equity release is completely impartial and unbiased. Equity release can be suitable for pensioners as they offer income during retirement as well as large lump sums to cover, for example, overseas holidays and clearing any outstanding debts.
However, all the while REFORM predicts total pension spending by the government will rise from 5.7% of GDP in 2011-12 to 7.3% from 2051-52 but that there are questions surrounding where this extra funding will come from. With greater numbers of people in retirement vis-à-vis employment, funding a pension scheme similar to those currently in place is going to be a real challenge. Equity release plan could help to bridge the retirement funding gap.
