When Major League Baseball suspended Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun for the final 65 games of the season late on the afternoon of July 22, the news sizzled through big league clubhouses the way it always does in 21st century sports. Reporters, players and team staff scrambled for their smartphones, searching for the most reliable story link. Clubhouse televisions were tuned to the most updated crawl line for confirmation. Text messages crisscrossed the country, fragments of snap commentary from players heading to batting cages serving as the simmering aftermath.
Across one phone came a chilling five-word text from a high-ranking baseball official that read, "Still have players to go," a little news grenade that produced its own ripples about which players were next to be suspended and for how long. On Monday, Aug. 5, 12 more players had accepted 50-game suspensions for violating the league's Joint Drug Agreement, and a 211-game suspension had been issued to Alex Rodriguez. And a new paradigm had been created by the players, its union and the commissioner's office, which, for the first time in the nearly 20 years since performing-enhancing drugs have become the defining issue in the game, used its full power to discipline a player for PED use.
The day Braun was suspended, the first-place Red Sox were in Boston, hours from beginning a key four-game series with the second-place Rays. David Ortiz, himself part of a steroid scandal that four years later still has unanswered questions, sat in the home dugout, eager for each successive sliver of news.
"The way things are now, when you're in that room, and the guy is next to you, watching you pee, there's no way out," Ortiz said. "And if there's something in there, they got you, bro."
On Monday, when the announcement of the Biogenesis 14 was complete, absent were the old attitudes that once dominated the decades-old steroid era: the stances of defiance, denials and skepticism from the players that had been emblematic of their public solidarity even when there were private misgivings regarding individual players. In the old narrative, players and their representatives routinely countered a failed test result with subterfuge, the possibility of impropriety or pride debunking the science -- a false positive, the overheated rhetoric that players were the victims of a media "witch hunt" or the response that there is nothing in a bottle that can help a player hit home runs.
In the place of solidarity was an unforgiving anger directed at wrongdoers, once brothers in arms under the code.
"He got off easy," one American League player said of Braun's forfeiture of $3.2 million of his $8.5 million salary for 2013. "His real money doesn't kick in until next year."
Guilty or innocent or ambivalent, the players had always stuck together. That was the code. With Biogenesis, the code has changed.
"Today is a sad day for MLB, the fans of this great game, and all players who may have been negatively affected by others selfishness," Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria posted on Twitter. "Ultimately, although today will be a day of infamy for MLB, it is a tremendous step in the right direction for the game we love."
Longoria's message was diplomatic. Other players have voiced anger, and by extension, support of baseball's drug agreement in unprecedented ways: by advocating lifetime bans and the voiding of guaranteed contracts -- the existence of which is among the greatest victories in both MLBPA history and professional sports -- of players caught using performance enhancers.
The PED battle is no longer just an ethical clash between users and testers, but also a fight for the direction and future of the Players Association. For the first time, perhaps in decades, the fight isn't only union versus management, but players versus players, some of them apparently willing to potentially undo some of the organization's greatest gains.
"In my opinion, [Braun] should be suspended -- lifetime ban," Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Skip Schumaker told the Associated Press. "One strike, you're out. It's enough. It's ridiculous. He lied to a lot of people. I was convinced, after that MVP, that he didn't do it."
How the players and their union have shifted from their denial of the existence of a runaway drug culture in the game is a story of evolution and competitive pride, of survival and, after so much damage, of the rediscovered value of reputation.
It is, in addition, the newest front in the historically contentious, evolving relationship between baseball and the union, which spent the first weeks leading up to and following the Braun suspension in seemingly uncharacteristic cooperation with the commissioner's office and its investigation and discipline. Following the massive suspension levied on Rodriguez, however, the MLBPA appeared convinced that commissioner Bud Selig had overreached.
"For the player appealing, Alex Rodriguez, we agree with his decision to fight his suspension. We believe that the Commissioner has not acted appropriately under the Basic Agreement," union executive director Michael Weiner said in a statement following the suspension announcement. "Mr. Rodriguez knows that the Union, consistent with its history, will defend his rights vigorously."
The sea change
As recently as 2006 and 2007, the players -- a total of more than 750 -- refused to cooperate en masse with the producers of the Mitchell Report, an investigation into the illegal use of steroids and other performance-enhancing substances in Major League Baseball. Throughout that process, George Mitchell, the former Maine senator who was appointed by Selig to oversee that probe and whose subsequent recommendations spurred the league to create the investigative arm that collected information on Biogenesis, and his staff voiced frustration that the union was thwarting the effort by not granting interviews.
Last week, Mitchell had no comment regarding the growing willingness on the part of the players to fight PEDs. By publicly advocating unprecedented levels of punishments for violators now (players such as Schumaker and Detroit's Max Scherzer publicly called for lifetime bans for first-time offenders), today's players are essentially repudiating those attitudes so prevalent as recently as six years ago and during the height of the steroid era. But as a consequence, they might be exposing themselves to fragmentations that could shift the balance of power in baseball's labor relationship in the favor of ownership. Biogenesis has inflamed the MLBPA's membership. But in pushing for increased sanctions for PED use, players might be weakening their union's longstanding position as the strongest negotiating body in the history of professional team sports.
"I don't think it's going to be that big of a deal," one prominent National League player told me immediately following the announcement of the Braun suspension. "The massive majority of players want this. I don't think now that we want to get rid of cheaters, we're going to turn on each other. But to be honest, players are all just sick of this s---."
According to interviews with members of the commissioner's office and the MLBPA, as well as several current and former players, the change is the byproduct of several factors: increased competition for contracts in a crowded free-agent marketplace, anger that repeated offenses make it more difficult for the public to separate the clean from the dirty players and a growing recognition of the level of cheating in the game. The players were cognizant of the Baseball Writers' Association of America not voting a single player into the Hall of Fame last offseason and aware that continued silence about PEDs could be considered to be as damning to their own induction chances as actually using steroids.
They also began to recognize their own fatigue from being defined by two decades of performance enhancers. Some say a maturing generation of players who now have seniority and influence in the locker room created a different institutional attitude.
The postures of the old union leadership were shaped by a history of mistrust between the owners and players, most especially over the collusion charges of the 1980s, when the owners and the commissioner's office agreed in secret not to sign free-agent players. That breach, plus the 1994 strike and the subsequent imposition of replacement players and a salary cap in 1995, made cooperation virtually impossible between the two sides on nearly any issue.
At the height of the union's power under the late Marvin Miller and, later, Don Fehr, players as often as not were told of the union's direction on a given issue. During the years of Miller and Fehr, the MLBPA generally spoke one message through one voice, forming a united front that ownership could not break. Thus, through the course of strikes and lockouts, the center of the union has always held.
Miller died in November 2012, but during the final decade of his life, he was adamantly against the union's decision to reopen an existing collective bargaining agreement to appease Congressional concern about the game's drug policies. Miller's position was that an agreement was sacrosanct and should be renegotiated only at its expiration. To do otherwise was to create dangerous precedent. There was no point in having a Basic Agreement, Miller said, if it was vulnerable to renegotiation. But between 2005 and 2009, the owners and the union reopened the Basic Agreement three times to amend PED provisions.
Miller also believed that even if the controversies of the steroid era weren't completely contrived, their harm to the game's integrity was minimal compared to collusion. To Miller, the greatest detriment in the history of the game was baseball's half-century of segregation, but he believed collusion to be second on that list. In both cases, he maintained, the owners had purposely refused to sign the best players to help teams win, which amounted to a fix of the pennant races. Steroids, in Miller's mind, would never compare to the damage done by teams choosing to try not to win.
During the collusion and strike years, most players were born in the 1950s and 1960s, when the labor movement in America was at its peak as an ally of workers. Today, there are no active big league players who made their major league debut in the 1980s, which means that none were affected directly by collusion and few were even at the Triple-A level during the 1994-95 strike. That generational shift in the union's membership might help explain the change as players redefine the union's attitude toward PEDs. With Biogenesis as a catalyst, players say they are angry enough now to go after their own, according to sources on both the players' side and the ownership side.
MLBPA sources say no formal discussions are underway to reshape the union's PED position or reopen the collective bargaining agreement to strengthen PED penalties. But an unintended byproduct of the opinions expressed by Schumaker and Scherzer could be additional pressure to back up the emotional rhetoric with policy.
"It's just a process trying to clean the game up," Longoria said. "We went through years of guys not speaking up. It hurts and is disappointing losing your job to someone who cheated. There are jobs and careers at stake."
Meanwhile, it is unknown if other factors are in play, such as information outside of Biogenesis that baseball's investigative unit has collected regarding PED use by players. Nor is it clear if the players are fully cognizant of the unintended consequences that could arise if they give teams the power to void guaranteed contracts.
After the release of the Mitchell Report in December 2007, players were still resistant to the reality that they themselves were the biggest victims of their members' transgressions. But now, the steroid discussion no longer seems to be a philosophical conversation but a personal one. Players now consider PEDs a violation of their personal baseball code, no different from standing in the batter's box too long after a home run or repeating what was said in the clubhouse. In the past, they had framed the drug conversation as an imposition of public relations pressure placed by grandstanding outsiders -- the public, the media, the front office or Congress.
Now, players are demanding an accountability from one another that didn't exist in previous years. For the first time, players no longer view steroids as a victimless crime. Users aren't cheating the public as much as they are other players.
"So, let me get this straight," an American League player said. "Guy uses steroids. He then puts up better numbers than I do. He goes to free agency and gets the years and the money, takes a job I don't get and now I have to scramble during the winter to find another slot. Then, he gets busted for steroids and we use my union dues for his lawyers, his defense and his appeal? And that makes sense to you? That bulls--- is fair?"
'The pure competition of it all'
Even before Braun, the tipping point, many players say, was Cabrera's two-year, $16 million deal with Toronto. Money was on the table. The Blue Jays were spending and a number of players might have been a good fit for them. Toronto was a bigger market with a need for a starting outfielder, and Cabrera -- who'd disgraced himself on the sidelines, suspended for testing positive for steroids last season while his team, the San Francisco Giants, won the World Series -- was the one who got the big money.
Cabrera inflamed his fellow players on two levels. The first was his selection to the 2012 National League All-Star team. He was a juicer who took a spot on the All-Star team away from a clean player, a situation made even more insulting to the rank and file when he was named the game's MVP. The second was his Blue Jays contract, which seemed so obviously a reward for a steroid user.
Then there was Braun, who won the NL MVP in 2011 and hit .500 in the National League Division Series to help knock out the Arizona Diamondbacks. Braun also angered his fellow players because of the guarantee of the five-year, $105 million extension he signed in 2011, making the total amount of guaranteed money the Brewers owe him -- money players say could have been spent on clean players -- to be in excess of $145 million through 2020.
Braun and Cabrera were major influences, but Oakland's Bartolo Colon also made the players look inward. Colon was suspended for 50 games last season for testing positive for a banned substance. Without him, the A's lost a deciding fifth game of the American League Division Series to Detroit, a series they might've won had Colon not been suspended. Because the Yankees (the Tigers' opponent in the ALCS) were struggling last October, Colon's suspension might have cost Oakland a chance for its first World Series appearance in 22 years.
And there was Manny Ramirez, caught twice for using PEDs, first in 2009 when he served a 50-game suspension while playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and then again in 2011, when he retired from the Tampa Bay Rays instead of sitting out a 100-game suspension. Sources recalled Ramirez hitting .396 in the 53 games after he was acquired by the Dodgers in 2008, almost single-handedly carrying Los Angeles to the NL West title over Arizona.
"The players finally started to see firsthand the damage being done to them. It wasn't this philosophical conversation about right and wrong or the place of drugs in our society, but about jobs and dollars and wins and losses being taken from them," said a source in the commissioner's office. "How do you think the Arizona Diamondbacks feel about Braun knocking them out of the playoffs when he was using? Maybe they were the ones who could've gone to the World Series."
That unfairness, players say, galvanized their new orthodoxy: PEDs were no longer a media creation, but the central ingredient to dirty players cheating the clean ones out of jobs.
"The pure competition is winning out," an NL player said. "The extra wild card rewarding division winners, all of it. We're not going to be protecting guys trying to get over on other guys."
In a series from July 7-10, 2005, the Baltimore Orioles took three of four games from the Red Sox. Unannounced to the public, Rafael Palmeiro -- who months earlier, under oath in front of Congress, famously wagged his finger in defiance of a steroid accusation by Jose Canseco -- had tested positive for steroids and was in the process of an appeal, therefore still on the field.
"I know Raffy. There's no way he's a cheater," Red Sox pitcher and former Palmeiro teammate David Wells said in Baltimore at the time. "And anyone who says he is can eat a cold bowl of d---."
Palmeiro destroyed the Red Sox, going 5-for-13 with three home runs and nine RBIs in the series. Six weeks later, he was suspended for 10 days for violating baseball's drug policy and never played another major league game. The Red Sox and Yankees finished the regular season tied, but New York was awarded the division title on a head-to-head tiebreaker. A furious Red Sox ownership pointed to Palmeiro's tainted series as a reason why they'd lost the AL East.
Today, the concepts of competition -- for contracts and financial security, for wins and World Series championships, All-Star Game appearances and awards -- are no different than they were then, during the height of the steroid era when the tainted Sammy Sosa, Miguel Tejada, Mark McGwire, Ramirez, Jason Giambi, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were winning, or were close to winning, MVPs, Cy Young Awards, home run titles and World Series championships. But the perception has changed dramatically.
"In every clubhouse right now, guys are on their cell phones, where you can go to any online betting site. Why don't they do it? Because they know the cost," Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes said. "They don't want to risk getting banned for life. They don't want to be Shoeless Joe Jackson. They don't want to be Pete Rose. Both never took PEDs. My buddy Josh Hamilton had baseball taken away from him for three years and didn't take PEDs. Why can't we do that with steroids? You think the threat of a lifetime ban wouldn't change things? Where are we hung up?"
The outcasts and the price
Unlike Palmeiro and, to varying degrees, Bonds and McGwire (who is working in the game as a hitting coach for the Dodgers), the sea change has left little room for sympathy for the Biogenesis 14. The players have adopted the position that the losers of the steroid era are no longer the fans or record book, but themselves. "Hey Antonio Bastardo, remember when we competed for a job in 2011. Thx a lot," former Phillies left-hander Dan Meyer wrote on Twitter after Bastardo was suspended for 50 games Monday. "Never said I was good enough but what about the players that never got their chance? Their lives could have been completely different."
Many players now privately scoff at the idea of a "false positive" test. The phrase "witch hunt" has disappeared from the conversation, replaced by action that old-line unionists might have never thought possible: talk of lifetime bans and voiding guaranteed contracts such as the one the Brewers gave Braun. The memory of his now-infamous 2012 news conference ("If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I'd be the first one to step up and say, 'I did it' … I would bet my life that this substance never entered my body at any point") only ratcheted up the anger in clubhouses around the league.
According to sources, baseball's security detail did not rely solely on Anthony Bosch and Porter Fischer to make its move this month, but also on an incriminating paper trail so complete that Braun had no choice but to accept the suspension. MLB sources said the 65-game suspension was a combination of the 50-game penalty he escaped when former league arbitrator Shyam Das overturned it and 15 additional games for verbally attacking the integrity of baseball's joint drug program.
As the Braun case unfolded, the apparent lack of desire on the part of the union membership to mount a pitched fight in support of players who didn't have a particularly strong case stunned some former players even as they understood it. Players were being encouraged to accept a suspension now or risk being penalized into next year, a potentially powerful incentive to admit guilt and a muscular tactic on the part of the commissioner's office that yesterday's union membership likely would have challenged. Two weeks before the Braun decision was announced, Weiner and union leadership had advised players facing overwhelming evidence in the Biogenesis case to make a deal with the commissioner's office. According to sources, Braun received union counsel, and both the union and league considered his 65-game suspension lenient. The union and MLB negotiated Braun's punishment and the press releases to the public.
"When I heard it, I was thinking, 'F--- yeah. Good. Nail this m-----f-----,'" said one Hall of Fame player. "You have to remember, we're all sitting there watching the TV and everything Braun said, and you're thinking, 'Wow, this guy is really convincing. Maybe there is some doubt there.' And then this happens? It's their game now. I'm not in the union anymore. I'm just an ex-player, and I remember the days when the union told you what to say and how to think, but I have to say, everything, Braun getting suspended, nobody getting into the Hall, the union not fighting that hard for these guys, it feels completely right to me."
The massive Rodriguez suspension, however, appears to have reignited some union members who have begun to see the larger implications of losing balance with management. The result could be internecine battles between players who want greater penalties and those who believe the commissioner and management should not wield so much power. Over the next several weeks, as the Rodriguez suspension is appealed, the players' challenge is clear: Do they further break with their old positions and venture into new, potentially hazardous territory even as a lack of solidarity could weaken their overall position in other areas of negotiation?
"It's outlined in no uncertain terms every spring to every team: These are the rules," Phillies infielder Michael Young said. "Don't effing test positive. Everyone gets due process, but the idea of a level playing field is now a union mantra."

At Cafe Altura, we believe in valuing every component of the process by which we get you exceptional products. This includes choosing to support systems which fairly compensate communities which are so integral to the farming of our beans. For us, that means proudly supporting Fair Trade products and proudly doing our part as a Certified Fair Trade roaster. If you're a regular customer of ours you likely know the value in supporting Fair Trade products, but it's worth looking at how the system got its start and the ways in which it benefits its members.
Fair Trade coffee as we know it now grew out of an attempt by the United Nations to regulate production levels and pricing in the 1960's. The International Coffee Agreement of 1962 put forth quotas for production and export, and certain price ranges that exchanges had to take place within. The Agreement was meant to avoid overproduction leading to a price crash. It was periodically updated through the late 1980's to reflect changing prices and to include stricter import and export regulations.
Then, in the late 1980's the price regulations fell out of effect and the coffee market collapsed. Prices hit all-time lows as the market became flooded with beans that had no buyers. This chaos created the need for a stronger organizing body, leading to the creation of fair trade certification in the Netherlands. Born out of a Dutch social movement in 1988, fair trade certification was originally conceived of as a way to artificially raise coffee prices enough to allow growers to generate enough revenue to pay a living wage while turning a profit.
At the start, the movement was called Max Havelaar, after a fictional character who had opposed the exploitation of coffee farmers by Dutch colonists. In the spirit of opposing exploitative practices, the group created a fair trade insignia which it would allow producers to use if they met certain wage standards for their workers.
Throughout the 1990's the fair trade movement gained momentum and took root in different markets. Transfair launched in Germany and later the United States, joined by The Fair Trade Foundation and Rättvisemärkt. In 1997, these four organizations came together to form Fair Trade International to jointly coordinate on the certification and regulation of Fair Trade organizations. It is Fair Trade International (previously FLO, or the Fairtrade Labeling Organization) which continues to inspect and certify growers and others along the supply chain, ensuring that their business practices are in line with Fair Trade standards.
The Fair Trade Foundation is an evolution from earlier groups which only sought to regulate production and wage levels. Since its inception, it's estimated that the price controls, regulations and marketing efforts from the organization have helped create $551 million in revenue for farmers and producers. Part of this revenue comes through the organization's setting of a "minimum fair price". This price floor can be crucial for family farmers in times when prices drop below profitable levels. In 2013, when such a price drop occurred, the Fair Trade certification was able to earn farmers between an extra $0.20 to $0.50 per pound, helping to ease the harms of difficult market conditions for family farms and laborers around the world.
The additional revenue created for farms also includes $380 million for community improvement projects. These community improvement projects, in addition to working condition and wage regulations, are the Fair Trade Foundation's way of ensuring that the value created through the program is reinvested in lasting improvement efforts. Through payments to third-party exporters who partner with the Fair Trade Foundation, funds are reinvested back into community projects. In Veracruz, Mexico, a Fair Trade Cooperative used some of their funds to build a soccer field, giving the kids in their community a safe place to play. The projects vary from place to place, including community and health centers, as well as educational facilities and scholarship incentives for the children of farmworkers. And it's left up to the individual communities to decide what use of the funds will best suit their needs.
It's this focus on overall worker and community well-being, in addition to promoting fair wages and trade practices, that makes Fair Trade coffee worth the premium price. With the majority of the world's poor population being involved in farming, equitably compensating farmers and investing in their communities isn't just the right thing to do, it's a meaningful step toward lifting people all over the world out of poverty. We strongly believe that everyone who contributes to the products we produce and consume ought to reap their fair share of the revenue, and for that reason, we are strongly behind Fair Trade coffee. We are proud to support the Fair Trade system as a certified FT roaster and will continue to strive to ensure that the products we sell contribute to an equitable and just system for all.

Sunday loveliness…
I'm not sure how many people in the world love Sundays but I really do.
And you know your Sunday has ended on a high when you collapse on the sofa after dancing around to MC Hammer's Can't Touch This complete with squats, bum shakes and some super duper hip hop moves. (I guess the fact I write 'super duper' proves I am anything but hip hop…)
(What else has made this Sunday great was the athletics on TV all day [HOW amazing were Christine Ohuruogu and Team GB in the 4×400 womans relay?!], England winning the Rugby [yay!], planning workshops and generally being productive and lazy at the same time!)
That is all.

Under the Tree by Thomas Locicero
Posted in Writers, Writing, tagged Amazon, Kindle, literary fiction, short stories/short story collection, Thomas Locicero, Under the Tree on July 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Thomas Locicero is an award-winning short story writer, poet and essayist, as well as a playwright and monologist. His work has appeared in Roanoke Review, Boston Literary Magazine, The Long Island Quarterly, riverrun, Omnibus Arts & Literature Anthology, A&U: America's AIDS Magazine and Beginnings, among other literary periodicals. Originally from East Islip, Long Island, Thomas resides with his wife, Lil, and their sons, Sam and Ben, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. "Under the Tree" is his first short story collection.
Thomas Locicero's award-winning short stories examine the human experience at its most vulnerable moments, when decisions made in haste often come to define—or come back to haunt—one's life. An old ex-boxer battles memories of former glory that continue to cloud his mind and marriage. An ancestry chronicler has a secret that will change his family tree forever. A targeted migrant worker uses storytelling to offer hope to his son. An African boy who participated in genocide returns to his village to discover that life does not end with death. Rendered with biting description and imagination, these captivating stories survey the rebels and reprobates, the delusional and disillusioned, the misfits and misguided souls who exist to survive among us, amid the tolling that reverberates between what their lives have become and what they can be.
From my earliest recollections of childhood, the one constant in my life has been my desire to be an author. I remember being in fourth grade at Timber Point Elementary School in East Islip and writing a poem for a girl named Jennifer Herman. While the class was watching a film, I was sneaking my way toward Jennifer's desk to hand her the poem. Mr. Biangardi caught me and snatched the paper from my hand. The class was giddy with joyful anticipation because, as was the custom, Mr. Biangardi was going to read the "note" aloud to the class, using my embarrassment as a weapon to deter future note passers. After reading the poem to himself, he said, "You wrote this?" I answered, "Yes, just now." To the dismay of my classmates, Mr. Biangardi handed the poem back to me and said, "It's really good." After class, he encouraged me to pursue writing. As an addendum to the story, Jennifer Herman moved away the following year and I never saw her again.

The book is selling for only $2.99. I would love to hear back from you.

Blue Rose in Chelsea Book Review
Posted in Writers, Writing on July 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Blue Rose In Chelsea by Adriana Devoy
Look what we found! A Kindle Romance Novel for $2.99 / £1.91!
The year is 1988, the place, New York City. The gifted but mercurial Haley Barrett drops out of Princeton–forfeiting a scholarship– and takes a job as a nanny on the Upper West Side, much to the dismay of her working class family. Haley becomes smitten with the charismatic and elusive actor, Evan Candelier, despite her friends' warnings.
She finds a sympathetic ear in the irrepressible Sinclair Wellington, a costumer and Scottish count, who confides his own story of a doomed romance from decades past. Sinclair inveigles Haley in a series of capers to win Evan. When Sinclair's lost love reappears one snowy day, Haley witnesses what may become her own fate if she does not uncover the mystery of Evan's reticence.
From Upper West Side brownstones and bookshops, to downtown cafes and art houses, Haley and her circle of bohemians wend their way through late eighties Manhattan, making precocious pronouncements on books, art, life, and love.
Blue Rose In Chelsea has been called "a thoroughly engaging, lovely, modern fairytale" and "an insightful and quirky story of first love."

Providing quality Christian education and daily meals to vulnerable children and developing self-sustainable projects for the school.
Many children are orphaned in Malawi. They are placed in homes with extended family, but with the extra burden on already big families most of them do not have the opportunity to attend school. Many are victims of child exploitation. Those who do go to school receive poor quality education, as the schooling standard in remote areas is very low. Education of a higher standard and awareness about the child exploitation are needed in the community.
We currently have two schools—the Chiyembekezo School and the Chisopi School.
The Chiyembekezo School, for orphaned and vulnerable children, is currently in its second year and has 13 children in Standard 1 and 18 children in preschool.
The Chisopi School is in a muslim village where we have planted a church. 18 children are registered in the preschool class. All of the children are from a muslim background.
Both schools have a feeding program where children receive two meals per day. The guardians/parents of the children work in the school fields and garden as their contribution towards the schoolfees.

LMRC has achieved many significant milestones and engineering feats for itself in the recent past. What has been the motivation and inspiration for being in the forefront and creating a positive synergy in a government ecosystem?
Lucknow Metro has set records straight by achieving significant milestones and has many firsts for any metro rail in India. It's the entire team of the Lucknow Metro alongside the support and affection of the people of Lucknow which keeps us inspired, upbeat and helps us achieve such milestones. The LMRC is fortunate to have an efficient team that beliefs in performance and on-time delivery.Â
The 23 km North-South corridor is completed much ahead of its deadline and is operational too. How did you manage to achieve this extraordinary feat for LMRC?
The Lucknow Metro has made operational the 22.878-km-long corridor much ahead of the initial deadline of April 2019. We faced uncountable challenges throughout the construction phase but with strong determination along with the continuous day and night hard work of the entire team, Lucknow Metro has emerged as a fine example of excellence in the field of Mass Rapid Transit System. I would also attribute this achievement to the people of Lucknow, who has been immensely supportive of this project ever since its inception. It is because of their patience and cooperation that we have been able to realize this dream of a Metro in the 'City of Nawabs'.
Please apprise us of Phase II and other future plans of LMRC.
We have completed Phase I in record time and now the focus is on Phase II. The 11.098 km long East-West Corridor of Phase II will connect Charbagh to Vasantkunj. The corridor will have 12 stations - Charbagh (proposed), Gautam Buddha Marg, Aminabad, Pandey Ganj, Lucknow City Railway Station, Medical Chauraha, Nawajganj, Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, Musabagh, and Vasantkunj.Â
Earlier in March 2019, LMRC has cracked down on illegal parking spots. Are there any concrete and permanent measures to keep this problem at bay? Do you observe any improvement in city life after this step?
Lucknow Metro is committed for removing encroachment and illegal parking in order to provide easy access to the commuters and eliminate traffic jams around the metro stations. The Chief Security Commissioner and Security Commissioner of the LMRC along with local traffic officials are keeping a regular check on the illegal parking. Due to our efforts, the traffic around metro stations is much smoother now.
What plans LMRC is having in the pipeline to enhance connectivity in the city? Any specific MoU's in cards?
Phase I of the Lucknow Metro has already provided citizens with a comfortable, safe and time-saving mode of transportation. Once Phase II becomes operational, the total length of the LMRC network will be around 34 km. With these two phases, LMRC will be able to provide direct connectivity to the airport, bus station as well as the city railway station and other prominent places. Thus, provides seamless and jam-free connectivity. Also, the LMRC has signed contracts with prominent players for property development, with Radio City for infotainment, with HDFC Bank for Smart Cards, besides having tie-ups with various national and international consultants and experts for providing world class services and experience to the commuters.Â
Earlier in 2018, LMRC has received International Award for safety. Please elaborate to us, what has been the motivation behind this? How have you been able to improve this attribute further in all your projects?
Lucknow Metro has received the Silver Award from the International Royal Society for The Prevention Of Accidents (RoSPA) for Phase 1A (North-South Corridor) in the Project/Infrastructure category for the year 2018. We have been working not only to provide a safer mode of transport but our priorities have been to ensure health and safety for every single person associated with the execution of the project- be it staff, customers, clients or contractors. We have achieved this in Phase I and are confident enough to better it in our next projects.
LMRC and HDFC bank have signed an MoU in a bid for counter-less ticketing. Please elaborate to us about this initiative? What has been the progress and how has it benefitted the common mass?'
LMRC's tie-up with HDFC Bank is a big step towards the evolution of digital payment mechanisms for the metro commuters. The HDFC Bank facility has enabled customers of all banks to purchase metro tokens and prepaid cards easily by making it cashless. With the tie-up, the LMRC has made it convenient for commuters to purchase token, reload prepaid GoSmart cards using any debit card, credit card, or net banking facility, on the website of Lucknow Metro. Passengers using the GoSmart cards are getting facilities like free WiFi, hassle-free travel as well as freedom from standing in queues with online recharge facility.Â
Earlier in 2018, LMRC asserted that its ridership will touch 3 lakhs daily. Do you see any improvement in the ridership of Lucknow Metro Rail? How have you achieved this?
LMRC had started public operations with the 8.5 km Priority Corridor from Transport Nagar to Charbagh. With the commissioning of the entire 22.878 km corridor from CCS Airport-Munshi Pulia, the Lucknow Metro has been recording a very high ridership and is hopeful of multiplying it manifolds in the coming months as the corridor connects prominent destinations like airport, bus station, educational institutes, and major markets.Â
How important do you feel is Metro Rail for the growth of any smart cities. Your view.
Any smart city is incomplete without an environment-friendly, safe, and time-saving mode of the public transportation system. Lucknow Metro fits the bill of any smart city planned anywhere in the world. It is not only a safer, faster but also energy efficient system.Â
For the safety of the commuters, LMRC has taken a number of steps such as the use of fire retardant material, fire smoke detection & protection, the use of emergency communication facilities including talkback facility for passengers within the coaches. To create a sustainable environment LMRC's Metro stations and Depot have been designed and built as 'Green' buildings in accordance with the standards of the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). Along with it, a Waste Composting Machine has been installed in the depot. Special arrangements have been made for visually impaired, the person with disabilities and senior citizens.
Lucknow Metro has taken many initiatives such as regenerative braking in the trains which will result in saving 30-35% traction energy, use of 1% criteria for underground stations in the air conditioning system, using Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drive for all lifts and escalators, provision of LED lights at stations, use of energy efficient equipment for Environmental Control System (ECS) and Tunnel Ventilation System (TVS) system for the underground stations etc. Currently, Lucknow Metro has planned 1.5- 2MW solar energy under the RESCO model from the roof-mounted photovoltaic cells on stabling and inspection sheds in Transport Nagar Car Maintenance Depot.Â

Why China Debt Data Could Slam Metals Prices
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Analysts at Axiom Capital Management say a collapse in overnight lending in China's inter-bank market last week signals risk for commodities prices.
Analysts Gordon L. Johnson II and James A. Bardowski measured the volume of collateralized government bonds in the Chinese overnight market to reach their conclusion. They write:
"While some pundits categorized the drop as seasonal, we find ample statistical evidence to reject that hypothesis (i.e., looking at the month over month change in average monthly vols. since '07, the change in Jan. '17 [thru 1/27], with a p-value of 0.4%, lies well outside our 95% confidence interval). On the contrary, we believe the decline is predicated on the People's Bank of China (PBOC) intervention, in a bid to rein in compounding risks (i.e., banks borrowing funds in the interbank market, with government bonds as collateral, & investing the proceeds in wealth management products of other banks, vs. lending to the real economy – this merry-go-round works when bond prices are rising, but reveals a "house of cards" when prices fall). In our view, the implications are staggering. That is, we believe there is a direct correlation between speculative trading in commodity futures, for which values have broadly fallen to Nov. '16 levels (i.e., prior to the massive Dec. surge), & interbank borrowing, suggesting commodity prices may soon lose their luster ... "
They note that China produced 1.4% more steel in December, month over month, and up 4.4% in December year over year. Output in 2016 rose 1.6% year over year. The analysts at Axiom have an underweight rating on metals, mining and mining equipment. They have sell ratings on Rio Tinto (RIO), Joy Global (JOY), Caterpillar (CAT), Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) and U.S. Steel (X). They also have sell ratings on Fortescue Metals Group (FSUGY and FMG.Australia), United Rentals (URI), GATX (GMT) and Trinity Industries (TRN).

About Me
Hey! My name is Latoya Nicole and I am a serial entrepreneur who is a visionary and creative at heart. I decided a couple of years ago that I would use the power of the internet to help support myself in hopes of building a life that I didn't need a break from. One reason I chose the internet is because I didn't want to HAVE to deal with people if I didn't want to. I guess you can blame that on being more on the introverted side. I am a full time mom of 1 Shihpoo dog named Chloe and I currently live in North Carolina.
But let's take a step back….
I was 32 years old with a master's degree in counseling and making more than enough money to live comfortably however I was completely burned out. I was at a crossroad between continuing to make money and be stressed at my job being "bossed around" or to learn to create my own money by "bossing up". I chose the latter. Through a series of random events I got turned on to the world of e-commerce. I started on a Marketplace selling used clothes from my closet. After making money selling used clothes a light bulb went off and I thought "if I can sell used clothes and make money I'm pretty sure if I found a way to purchase new wholesale items I can sell those as well." So, I started setting up my first online store one weekend to sell women's clothing and accessories and started making sales off of it within a few weeks later.
Now I run several online stores and I'm also a 3x Bestselling author of these adult coloring books. So everything that I have created, learned and mastered monetizing is what I teach courses on to help boss women like you start and grow your online business.
Ready to invest in yourself and start or grow your Online Business?!
Of course you are, that's why you're here! I'm excited to help you secure the bag so click below to get started!
Love to Color?

The Arduino is an open-source microcontroller for hobbyists. At the core of the Arduino UNO is the ATMEGA328 microcontroller, this chip holds and runs a program. The Arduino UNO has 32KB of program space, 2KB of RAM and runs at 16Mhz. The microcontroller is programmed in C or C++ with the Wiring library. The programmer calls functions to access the digital I/O and analog input pins. There is a variety of external libraries that can be added to add extra functionality and interface with add-on shields.
The source code for "Hello World" for Arduino. The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) allows the programmer to write the program, verify the program, compile the program and then finally upload the program to the Arduino. More information for working with the Arduino can be found at http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage
Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer capable of running Linux. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of making computer science easier to learn. Raspberry Pi model B has 512MB of RAM and runs an ARM processor at 700Mhz. It has 2 USB ports, an ethernet port, a composite video output, analog audio output, a HDMI video output and a 26 pin GPIO (general purpose input/output) header. The Raspberry Pi holds the Linux filesystem on an SD card. The Linux distribution recommended to run by the Raspberry Pi Foundation is Raspbian, which is based on Debian. This distribution comes with tools such as Python and Scratch so you will be able to start programming right away. - http://www.raspberrypi.org/
Python is the programming language that will be used for many of the projects covered on this website. Python has a gentle learning curve so it's good for beginners but it is also capable of being used in large programs. It is object-orientated and has a very powerful standard library. Furthermore, many libraries can be added to further improve the functionality of Python.
Python running some simple commands. Python is a powerful object-oriented language. Download Python from: www.python.org. Read the documentation about Python at: http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/
Solderless Breadboard
Solderless breadboard is a great way to construct a circuit without making anything permanent.
It's connections inside the board are as follows.
When building with a solderless breadboard, components are simply pressed into the holes. In the middle of the breadboard there is special spot for integrated circuits. When finished components are simply pulled out to be removed.
A transistor is a 3 terminal discrete electronic component that controls the flow of electric current. Transistors were first created in the late 1940s and were considered revolutionary as they replaced their old vacuum tube counterparts. Today, they are found in almost all electronic devices. Computer microprocessors use millions of transistors inside their chips to implement their logic. The leads on a transistor are called emitter, collector and base. In a NPN transistor, when a small current flows from base to emitter, a large current flows from collector to emitter. In a PNP transistor, when a small current flows from emitter to base, a large current flows from emitter to collector. This allows a transistor to be used in switching and amplifying applications.
Schematic symbols for NPN and PNP (respectively) bipolar junction transistors:
Projects for students
Welcome students, NextProject is a fun and exciting opportunity to learn about the wonders of electronics and computer science. On this website, you will find everything you need to learn in order to build and understand the projects described on this website. Once the projects are completed, you will be able to build your own interesting projects!
After completing the challenge modules under the projects tab you prepare yourself to "step up the game!" All challenges under projects tab were designed by students. They too felt the anxiety, anticipation, triumph and fear to fail — identical feelings that gave you the thrill during completing your choice of challenge modules.
"Step up the game!"
"Top projects get superb prizes!"
"Engineering components are available at campus!"
Now, we suggest you with few seedling ideas that build on existing challenge modules. These project suggestions deepen your skills further. You personalize, write, and do your own project based on the following seedlings. However, seedling listing below is a guide: not a law. If you are not fully convinced in taking it as a building point, make your own seedling! Either way, each seedling should have a problem and solution statement.
"Aye, aye, who is the captain?"
"You are the captain."
"You set your own rules and set a new course of exploration!"
As a captain, you design, program and build the whole project from existing skills you have developed from challenge modules seen under the projects tab. If your project is very unique and addresses a demand in the market, all patents that may follow will be owned by you and you only.
Seedling project start points:
- Doctors instruct diabetes patients to walk everyday at a constant high pace. Prototype and build a full demo of a Pedometer that gives out voice messages to train and help the patient during her/his walk to stroll at constant pace within the allowed range of speed.
- Holiday weeks are full of music and lighting decorations, both indoor and outdoor. Prototype and build a full demo of a Light Controller that will make the light sequence blink on and off according to the beat of the music.
- Internet and phone reception is unavailable in isolated mining locations, rural areas. Prototype and do a full demo of a chat client enabling two users, say two static mine operators, to communicate using their computers via laser.
- Moving garbage to curbside on the day of waste truck bores everyone in family to invent excuses to make someone else do it. Prototype and demo both, a recyling bin and a refuse bin, that have wheels, follows a line from the house side to curb side, and moves on its own only at the day of waste truck.
- New chef at family owned restaurant wants passerby public to taste family secret recipes, not offered at big fast food chains. Demo a way the chef can text to the display attached at the entrance door of the restaurant. Use or make a large LED display made only of Light Emitting Diodes, that accepts to show text updates.
- Most cars still don't automatically heat or cool. Design a controller that will turn on the Air Conditoner or Heater at varying intensities to ensure that car's internal temperature is, say, fixed at 24 degrees. Demo it inside a car analogue, not a real car!
- Radio station broadcasts music, but pirates copy these music for illegal sales and profiteering. Design a demo level radio receiver, where the receiver detects wirless signals being written to a memory source and transmits a "SOS" signal to the demo radio station — your own transmitter.
Bonus Marks!
As captain, you or your team receive Bonus Marks if you use professional circuit drafting techniques, abide by good code style and writing practices, make lab manual(s) with figures, tables, and feature video demos.

August 4, 2015
China's central bank released a draft regulation that could limit transactions with third-party payment providers like Alipay to as little as 1,000 yuan (US $160). This move may wipe out smaller firms and force people to use state-owned bank services.
On Friday, the proposed regulation was announced that could greatly affect China's 8 trillion yuan (US $1.28 trillion) third-party online and mobile payments marketplace.
Third-party payment services that have two or more security measures but do not provide verification processes will have a daily 5,000 yuan (US $800) transaction limit per user. Payment services that offer less than two security measures will have a daily transaction limit of 1,000 yuan (US $160), according to South China Morning Post.
There will be no ceiling limit for payment providers which utilize digital certificates or signatures in their security measures. There won't be any effect on Internet banking transactions. If these regulations come into the picture, smaller third-party services will be affected and they may need to work under great pressure. After the regulations are implemented, they will be required to implement multiple security measures which will increase their operational costs.
According to a report by Barclays, the move will lead to increased consolidation, strengthening the position of major players like Tencent and Alibaba, whose Alipay service already controls a commanding 50% market share.
The new regulation is in support of state-owned banks. Amid the backlash, the central bank said on Saturday that users who wish to make transactions over 5,000 yuan can use Internet banking to foot the excess amount.
According to Barclays, the essence of the regulations is to limit third-party payment services to small transactions and ensure that large transactions go through the banks.
According to market intelligence firm iResearch, in 2014, third-party online payment services such as Alipay and Tencent's Tenpay processed transactions worth 8 trillion yuan (US $1.28 trillion).
"(The proposal) is aimed at having better controls and governance of third-party online payment channels; it is not targeted at controlling online shopping," the Barclays report said.
As per the proposed rules, no third-party payment services can provide financial services such as deposits, loans, financing, currency exchange services, etc., to users. The FinTech market—in which players such as Alibaba's Yu'e Bao operate—will be affected by this proposal (Yu'e Bao allows users to generate interest on the amount of money they deposit in their Alipay wallets). Huabei, a credit loan product of Alipay which allow users to take loans between 1,000 and 30,000 yuan for online purchases, may also be impacted.

While I have no direct experience with this kind of thing
I do understand from a few court cases that I've seen reported that most of this material is circulated within a group to each member from other members who gather a lot of this type of material themselves.
With the advent of digital cameras and the ability of the new crop of Digital phones capable of taking pictures a lot of this type of stuff is easily obtainable by those involved. Well the still pictures at least.
Recently here in Qld there was a Policeman charged with having some of this stuff and in his defense he claimed that he was researching the topic as part of his job was to give talks to school kids on this subject. Maybe it was all innocently gathered but that tends to point to the fact that some of this is easily available off the net at some places.
However here in AU the ISP's are required to report any of this type of material being downloaded to the Federal Police who then have to investigate. As this is enshrined in Legislation there are a few loop holes while the ISP's have to report this activity they have no privilege and can be sued by the offender for breaching the Privacy Laws here.
But as my only real knowledge comes from reported court cases I really wouldn't know all that much. There was only one case that I have first hand knowledge of where a PHD Student who was writing a thesis on Government accidental logged onto a Kiddy Porn site and then immediately logged off he thought that he had made a typo so retried to log onto what he thought was a foreign Government site and got the same site again. He had the Feds there within 2 weeks and they seized all of his computer equipment and effectively stole all of his research for what amounted to less than a 1 minute mistake. Unfortunately while fast to act initially they are slow to investigate and eventually after a period of about 30 months this person was eventually cleared of any wrong doing but by then he had dropped out of Uni, had his Supervising Professor withdraw his services and generally put him into a position where he could do nothing but walk away from his studies, to which he has not returned.
I have heard of some Kiddy porn computer games but never actually seen any description of them again from reported court cases. As to where these things are obtained I have no idea but I seem to remember Pet Townsend of the "WHO" being charged with similar offense and at the time it was common knowledge that he was attempting to write a book for children to protect them from the sexual predators that frequent the Web.
Actually a long time ago I was called into a business that was being hit with a lot of "SPAM" supposedly about Kiddy Porn and while I'm supposed to report cases like this to the Police I didn't see the need as when I arrived there I found the Police there taking copies of all the offending e-mails. I never actually saw any of the content and I certainly was not interested in actually opening any of the e-mails all I ended up doing was putting in place a Spam Filter and blocked these from being accepted as well as adding all of the ones that they currently had to the "Blocked Senders List" on the mail server. I also had the rejected ones redirected to the Police Office who deals with these offenses but that was a very long time ago now and I have not seen anything like that for a very long time.
This is indicative of a serious malaise not confined just to Australia!!!
There is something sadly wrong with society when this sort of thing becomes so prevalent. The worst cases have been reported in Belgium where children have been murdered. You have to wonder what is motivating these people. I do not like the idea of censorship but how is this to be stopped or at least controlled??? Perhaps stiffer sentences and fines from the courts would be a start???? Anything involving the exploitation and abuse of children should receive the harshest of punishments. I think sentences in the minimal 10 year range without parol would be a good starting point as well as the stripping of at least half their assets by way of fines. When appeals to morality fail; then perhaps financial penalties might penetrate their sick and twisted minds. There will be those who say that the families of the perpetrators would be punished by this but perhaps they might keep an eye out for their errant family members and put a stop to the problem before it starts. I don't know what the answers are or if there are any but these are just a few of my thoughts on the matter.
Actually I totally agree with your sediments
I only wish I actually knew a bit more about the subject but without needing to go into details of the actual content.
At this point in time I believe that the only way to gather data on things like this is to actually look for it. Well that just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, personally I would prefer to be hung by my thumbs for days at a time rather than look for this type of thing.
While over here we have to report any Kiddy porn that we run across on computers that we are repairing I just do not get the time to look all that far into what is on a HDD. Then where exactly do you draw the line? I remember a case where a pharmacist was prosecuted for having a photo of his child naked on the wall of his shop. Apparently a Social Worker walked in and objected to the exploitation of the little girl who was just at the stage of sitting up. The whole thing feel to bits when it was revealed that the child in question was a boy not a girl and it was nothing more than a proud fathers attempt to show off his child. Admittedly the child was naked but the photo was taken in such a way that it was impossible to tell the sex of the child.
I'm currently a lot closer to 50 that I care to think about and there are numerous photos of me as a infant naked as well as all my brothers and sister but again you can not tell the sex of the child from the photo it is only because you know who the photo is of that you can tell the sex. Now to me this isn't child pornography of any kind but maybe I'm so out of touch that I really do not know.
But with the advent of digital cameras I'm willing to bet that there are far more of these type of photos around than there where previously. Currently the law here is that if a normal person was to find it offensive you have to report it. Well to me that is more than a bit vague as I really do not know what the average person would find offensive now. Granted anything that was putting the child in a comprising position I would not hesitate to report but naked baby shots of the children in a bath or on a rug I wouldn't worry about.
While I do not know if I'm right any more (I do at least know that it was acceptable when I was a baby and when my children where babies. But since then I have attended lectures at my children's schools on this subject and found them unreasonable. For instance a very young female Social Worker insisted that if I changed my infant daughters dirty diaper "I think that is what nappies are called in the US" I would be sexually molesting her but if I didn't change it I would be neglecting her. The whole thing seems a lot more than silly to me and my response was that if that female Social Worker got her jollies from changing dirty nappies she needed help and quickly! While it was never high on my list of priories and I did avoid it at every chance possible I am willing to admit that on there are occasion I did change my daughters dirty nappy but only under protest.
However on the other side of the coin when I asked what about females changing infant male dirty nappies I was told that women never do that type of thing. I couldn't resist myself and I just had to bring up a recent case where a woman of a 13 year old child allowed his friends to view porno videos and then have sex with her. She got 12 months jail and treatment, but if it had of been a male his feet would never have touched the ground and the key would have been thrown away. Quite rightly too I might add but I do not understand the differences between men and women in cases like this I think that it is Hypocritical and everyone who indulges in this type of thing should be treated equally.
The problem with "throwing away the key" lies in the honesty and ...
integrity of those whose job it is to police those things. Do you take a person's life away who has two or three thumbs.db files buried in their hard drive ?? but who has never abused anyone in their whole life, is not selling anything ...has not bought anything and didn't even know they were there even if he could make out what was on the thumb? No ...you don't unfortunately those people are being treated as harshly as the guy filming marketing and producing this stuff ... 90% of the CP on the net is law enforcement... a better way to solve the problem may be to just instruct law enforcement to take all of theirs off the net and to stop trying to create the next era's wave of criminals out of non criminals. They claim to want to dry up the supply by taking the money out of it for the supplier and the laws are written focusing on the abuse that would be inherent in producing this material (hence the names of the laws in Oregon all starting with the term "encouraging" child sex abuse) the theory being that the demand creates the supply ...if that were true then they wouldn't have to bait people into these websites ...unfortunately all of the data would seem to say that the supply has created the demand (or curiosity I think is a better term to describe alot of that fleeting interest that would see a person clicking on one of those links) I would be interested to see if their was still a "problem" if all of the Law enforcement people took all of their content down and stopped baiting non criminals into even thinking about committing that crime.
I don't know much about this because I stay so far from it
Kiddie porn enthusiasts are more hated than crack dealers. The police are happy to pounce on anyone they find who may be associated with this stuff, and the newspapers love to print anything they hear.
I'm pretty much in complete agreement with this, because I think that involving kids in sex is the biggest betrayal an adult can commit, against anybody. However, in an environment where kiddy porn is the ultimate feels-so-good-to-hate target, it's dangerous to try to do any first-hand investigation. Some of the people you read about being hauled to justice, their reputations and family life smashed, are caught by sting operations. Try to do "research", you might get stung, too. I don't really have a big urge to find out how sick people are, and with the risks, I don't want to get within a mile of it.
If you have a compelling need to find out about this, then work up a book proposal, and notify the FBI or the RCMP or whoever about what you're up to before you start, and share everything you discover as you go along. You're likely to find out a lot about police procedure, whether as an information resource or as a suspect. Or both.
I think that is what happened to Pete Townsend
But the main reason I would like to know a little more is the laws that we work under here. I really not the slightest bit interested in the subject matter but as an IT guy I'm supposed to report things that I may run across in my trade. What gets me is just how very vague the guide lines actually are. Actually the whole thing seems to be madness to me as if I was to find any real Kiddy Porn I wouldn't for a single second consider what I should do.
But when I have contact with the Social Workers who are supposed to guide us as to what exactly constitutes Kiddy Porn they all seem to tell different stories. A 2 week old baby pictured in a bath is considered by some to be porn and others say it's perfectly OK! The whole thing just leaves me cold honestly!
But to be fair on the one occasion where I have been involved in anything remotely related to this topic I did work with the police and did everything that they asked and also suggested a few more things for them to try and I really do not even know what the actual content was only the headings on the spam mail which seemed pretty graphic but then again I never really trust them either too much. I can remember one spam mail heading that was something like "Tough Blond Chicks" and when you opened the hyperlink there was a photo of 2 chickens dressed in leather outfits all of which was naturally CGI.
While I would never consider that anyone who actually practices in this area deserves a single bit of "Well I don't know what this is about so I'll just turn a blind eye this time!" I've also seen the other side where unsolicited spam just arrives and I really find it hard to believe that all the people in a company who was receiving this trash where involved in any of this at all particularly when I found the Police there when I arrived. Seems that the company involved where far more upset than anyone else about what they where receiving.
But it is the thing with Baby photo's where I find problems particularly with the Law that I have to work under which just states "If a Normal Person Would Find an Article Offensive I Have To Report It!" Now if only they could be a lot more specific it would make life easier.
A good example is over here if you where to say "Fuck" in public one Police Officer could arrest you for being offensive but at the same time the courts have ruled that it is an acceptable word so you are sought of between a rock and a hard place before you even start. I sometimes wonder just why I ever got involved in this industry some times!
What I learned from military investigations
Jul, if I may offer a few things learned from an investigatory side of things.
Generally, pedophiles do not register with or advertise on search engines. It just isn't good for business or, for that matter, ensuring the continued procurement/transferal of content. The most common approach to securing/conveying content is through electronic communications, i.e. boards, chat, IM, etc. Most times these persons will initiate dialogue in the broadest of terms and then begin to fish. Subtley "fishing" for like minded philosophies, etc. Once solidly in contact with an active member of the fringe, ties can generally be developed with other members of the ring with limited difficulty and surprising speed (compounding trust mentality). This is why you will hear in these cases that a ring has been uncovered and charged rather than just a single person.
Hope this answers your question to some degree.
Pretty much the case
P2P is also a growing area for this given some of the file descriptions. But basically nonces stay off www and those who do feature words such as underage etc are unscrupulous b*****ds trying to get a hit on things like porn web rings and xxx password sites. I have seen some of these come up with pictures but they're heavily censored or not pornographic as such kids playing. Don't see that there's a lot we can do about it unfortunately, attempts to censor the web are doomed to failure.
Particularly when people who come up with search engines and enhance them with their own political bias. Not so long back a popular search engine, along with not returning porn hits also got selective with search strings to promote it's pro-life, religous and republican leanings. The only thing you can do is report the weirdos if you come across them, and not support those use them for financial gain.
Generally in the past the only person who a pedo wanted to know of their inhuman activity was their victim and they weren't allowed to talk about it. The contact the web has enabled has made them more vulnerable not less simply because the more who know a secret the less secret it is. As for the argument that this material might lead people to become pedos, well chuffing nonsense as they nearly say where I come from. If you were going to be one, you were simply waiting for an opportunity to do so, of which there are unfortunately far too many. Personally I'd turn the lot of them into dog food as soon as their guilt was established ,maybe we can cull it out of the gene pool.
I told you to delete those man!!
Now look at what you got yourself into!
I have a couple of other things to tell you so I'll email you later if I get time, (heading to mainland for races).
Alternate search engines
This kind of story shows up in the news here more often than I like.
The big search engines don't want to be associated with illegal activities.
They self limit some searches.
If you "google" adult search, you get a list of Adult theme search engines.
The search data stated over 3 million results.
Those looking for "specialized" web sites will use these lesser known search engines that limit the search to the type of page desired.
The next source of information would be chat rooms. Again, these would be off of the main-stream chat rooms.

Time for another stunning sunset, this time at Coral Bay – the bay behind Long Beach. You can sit on the rocks to watch it go down.
Coral Bay is quieter than Long Beach and smaller too. Even though Long Beach doesn't get the sunset, I prefer it's brilliantly wide, dominating shoreline.
