The Lakeside Voice, Colchester High School's student newspaper, was awarded—for the third time in the last five years—a meritorious achievement award in scholastic editing and publishing by the New England Scholastic Press Association (NESPA) at Boston University's School of Communication on May 6. (For more information about NESPA, visit blogs.bu.edu/nespa, and for more information about BU's School of Communication, visit www.bu.edu/com and www.bu.edu/academics/com/.)
Each competing school—producing the top high school newspapers and journalism programs from around New England—must present one year's worth of student newspapers for review by a panel of judges representing NESPA. Competing schools are categorized into four divisions based upon school size; CHS, with 700–999 students, is a classified by NESPA as a Division II institution. The prestigious meritorious achievement awards, presented to the top-three schools in each of the four divisions across New England, are based upon the overall newspaper layout and the editing of the published pieces.
The Voice, now in its tenth year of continuous publication, is produced by CHS's Journalism class, and all CHS students may contribute written content.

Supported tags and respective
Dockerfile links
For detailed information about the published artifacts of each of the above supported tags (image metadata, transfer size, etc), please see the
repos/arangodb directory in the
docker-library/repo-info GitHub repo.
For more information about this image and its history, please see the relevant manifest file (
library/arangodb). This image is updated via pull requests to the
docker-library/official-images GitHub repo.
What is ArangoDB?
The supported data models can be mixed in queries and allow ArangoDB to be the aggregation point for the data request you have in mind.
Key Features in ArangoDB
Multi-Model Documents, graphs and key-value pairs — model your data as you see fit for your application.
Joins Conveniently join what belongs together for flexible ad-hoc querying, less data redundancy.
Transactions Easy application development keeping your data consistent and safe. No hassle in your client.
Joins and Transactions are key features for flexible, secure data designs, widely used in RDBMSs that you won't want to miss in NoSQL products. You decide how and when to use Joins and strong consistency guarantees, keeping all the power for scaling and performance as choice.
Furthermore, ArangoDB offers a microservice framework called Foxx to build your own Rest API with a few lines of code.
ArangoDB Documentation
How to use this image
Start an ArangoDB instance
In order to start an ArangoDB instance run
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 -d --name arangodb-instance arangodb
Will create and launch the arangodb docker instance as background process. The Identifier of the process is printed. By default ArangoDB listen on port 8529 for request and the image includes
EXPOSE 8529. If you link an application container it is automatically available in the linked container. See the following examples.
In order to get the IP arango listens on run:
unix> docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' arangodb-instance
Using the instance
In order to use the running instance from an application, link the container
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 --name my-app --link arangodb-instance:db-link arangodb
This will use the instance with the name
arangodb-instance and link it into the application container. The application container will contain environment variables
These can be used to access the database.
Exposing the port to the outside world
If you want to expose the port to the outside world, run
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 -p 8529:8529 -d arangodb
ArangoDB listen on port 8529 for request and the image includes
EXPOSE. The
-p 8529:8529 exposes this port on the host.
Choosing an authentication method
The ArangoDB image provides several authentication methods which can be specified via environment variables (-e) when using
docker run
Generate a random root password when starting. The password will be printed to stdout (may be inspected later using
docker logs)
Disable authentication. Useful for testing.
WARNING Doing so in production will expose all your data. Make sure that ArangoDB is not diretcly accessible from the internet!
Specify your own root password.
Command line options
In order to get a list of supported options, run
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 arangodb arangod --help
Persistent Data
ArangoDB use the volume
/var/lib/arangodb3 as database directory to store the collection data and the volume
/var/lib/arangodb3-apps as apps directory to store any extensions. These directories are marked as docker volumes.
Please note that the old version 2.x used
/var/lib/arangodb and
/var/lib/arangodb-apps. We will refer to the 3.x variant in this document. In case you are starting a 2.x image just replace it with the 2.x variant.
docker inspect --format {{ .Config.Volumes}} arangodb for all volumes.
A good explanation about persistence and docker container can be found here: Docker In-depth: Volumes, Why Docker Data Containers are Good
Using host directories
You can map the container's volumes to a directory on the host, so that the data is kept between runs of the container. This path
/tmp/arangodb is in general not the correct place to store you persistent files – it is just an example!
unix> mkdir /tmp/arangodb
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 -p 8529:8529 -d
-v /tmp/arangodb:/var/lib/arangodb3
This will use the
/tmp/arangodb directory of the host as database directory for ArangoDB inside the container.
Using a data container
Alternatively you can create a container holding the data.
unix> docker create --name arangodb-persist arangodb true
And use this data container in your ArangoDB container.
unix> docker run -e ARANGO_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 --volumes-from arangodb-persist -p 8529:8529 arangodb
If want to save a few bytes you can alternatively use busybox or alpine for creating the volume only containers. Please note that you need to provide the used volumes in this case. For example
unix> docker run -d --name arangodb-persist -v /var/lib/arangodb3 busybox true
Using as a base image
If you are using the image as a base image please make sure to wrap any CMD in the exec form. Otherwise the default entrypoint will not do its bootstrapping work.
Arangodb itself is licensed under the Apache License, but it contains software of third parties under their respective licenses.
Supported Docker versions
This image is officially supported on Docker version 17.04.0-ce.
Support for older versions (down to 1.6) is provided on a best-effort basis.
Please see the Docker installation documentation for details on how to upgrade your Docker daemon.

If you have any problems with or questions about this image, please contact us through a GitHub issue. If the issue is related to a CVE, please check for a
cve-tracker issue on the
official-images repository first.
You can also reach many of the official image maintainers via the
#docker-library IRC channel on Freenode.
You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.
Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions.

The Niantic Project/
At Comic-Con 2012, several videos were released involving a long haired comic book artist named Tycho. Although there was no record of the individual anywhere else, everyone seemed to know him. People came to Comic-Con to find Tycho. Big names in the business praised his amazing skill and describe him as someone who, "Whenever a franchise is lagging, they bring him in behind the scenes… And the franchise starts selling again." Past employers seem to include Marvel, Batman Beyond, and more. Tycho has been found in videos throughout Comic-Con, handing out posters and spewing lines about Portals and Shapers. He was last seen being taken away by security during the Buck Rodgers panel. These videos went widely unnoticed.
Fast forward to November 2012, new YouTube videos are released. These are a trailhead to a larger investigation. The Niantic Project, shapers, the NIA, XM Fields, what does it all mean?
Google's super top-secret Niantic Project has been picking up plenty of buzz lately around the interweb. Since November 1st a Google-hosted investigation board has been posting some cryptic videos featuring ominous voiceovers that drop phrases like "There's more to the world than you can see." A poster featuring encoded text superimposed over photos taken near CERN is another early post on this "Sphere of Weirdness."
Google has revealed that Project Niantic is in fact tied to the launch of a new location-based mobile game called Ingress. The game has been in development within Google for many months by a small group known as Niantic Labs, headed up by John Hanke. Hanke is the CEO of Keyhole Inc. Perhaps better known as Google Earth. Hanke now leads the group that developed Google Maps, StreetView and more.
It started out innocently enough with an app called Field Trip. The app is described as your guide to the cool, hidden and unique things in the world around you. It reportedly runs in the background on your phone and when you get near something "interesting," you receive a notification with details about your surroundings.
Ingress's gameplay builds on the fiction established in the Niantic Project alternate reality game. There is a "world within our world." Portals are beginning to open up all over the globe. These portals begin pouring out exotic matter. Is this the next step in human enlightenment, or are these portals something dangerous that should be resisted? Your answer to this question determines whether you play Ingress on the side of The Enlightened, hoping to awaken more citizens, or The Resistance, hoping to protect the population from these forces.
These portals exist in real world locations like libraries, museums and other "interesting public spaces," defined automatically by Google's extremely extensive database of locations. Gameplay revolves around capturing and controlling these portals for your faction before the other side can get their hands on it. Capturing a portal is as simple as being nearby and hitting a button on your phone. But the catch is that you truly do need to be nearby. Ingress uses your phone's GPS to know if you truly are at the location that you claim to be at. John Hanke said:
"The concept is something like World of Warcraft, where everyone in world is playing the same game. Players are on one of two teams: "The Enlightened," who embrace the power, or "The Resistance," who fight the power. Anyone can play from anywhere in the world, though in more densely played areas there will be more local competition for resources."
Outdoor physical activity is a big component of this, though driving between locations isn't banned. "You're like a rat in a maze on the phone," Hanke said. Then, back at your computer, you can review the larger area and gameplay.
Rather than present gamers with the standard bright and friendly Google Maps interface, San Francisco is instead represented by a dark grid of roads and buildings. Transparent vector graphics overlay the real-world map, representing the various portals and power nodes players are struggling to control.
As for the tactics and strategy, although Ingress might make it simple to capture a nearby portal, capturing the nearby citizens is a more complicated matter. The game features a complex system for taking over entire square blocks (and later, square miles) of territory for your faction. Once three portals have been captured by your faction, if they're in range of each other and no enemy-controlled portals are nearby, the triangulated area is filled in with your faction's color. Teams of players can work together to box out entire neighborhoods for their faction.
The total score each controlled area contributes to your team is determined by the location's size and population density (another bit of data Google has easy access to). Every action players take, from hacking a neutral portal, to attacking an enemy-controlled portal, to reinforcing your own portals with items like shields, expends Exotic Matter, or XM. Gamers collect this XM just by moving through the world.
When playing on your mobile device, your view is limited to just your immediate surroundings (although special items do allow you to peek at the game state in far away places). But Ingress also includes a web client that lets gamers see a more tactical view of what's happening across the entire nation or even the entire globe. This information asymmetry is intentional – the Ingress team envisions a scenario where one player sits at a desktop, dispatching orders to "agents" in the field instructing them which portals to power-up in order to complete a link and take over a territory. Only someone in front of a deskop can see the big picture and know where resources are needed.
The Ingress App is available only on Android for now, with iOS to follow. The app is a free download, with Hanke insisting that it would remain truly free.

Top up cash loans are extremely beneficial. They involve extra money given to the same borrower. Essentially, it is a second loan on top of the first one that was approved. This may be needed if the original borrowed amount turns out not to be enough.
As a rule, not just anyone can do these types of cash loans. A current borrower will have to pay back a certain amount of the original loan before the top up option is considered. For example, a person may need to pay off half of the original amount to qualify. A lot of times the payment installments on this can be combined with the other one, therefore making one payment.
Top up loans are usually a part of mortgages, but they can also be found with regular cash loans. Other reasons for requesting these include remodeling a home, and personal projects. Sometimes the estimate of the amount of cash needed is incorrect, and that is where this option comes in to play. However, a person should be absolutely sure this is needed. There can be potential risks involved.
The most dangerous type of cash loans involving top up options is the payday loan. This kind involves getting cash prior to a paycheck being available. This can have risks if the person doesn't have good credit, or a way to pay back the loan. If a top up loan in addition to the other one, then that could hurt the person's financial standing.
The rewards of cash loans with top up benefits include peace of mind, better time management, the ability to purchase things that otherwise would be out of reach, and it is easy to apply. Just be sure to weigh the benefits and the risks carefully.

|MW2012: Museums and the Web 2012
This demonstration will focus on the questions "What kind of Social Media and Social Software have already been used for Museum Education Services on-line?" and "How do German Museums use the Social Web to enhance their Museum Education Services?"
In Europe museums are places of education and learning (e.g. DEUTSCHER MUSEUMSBUND (Ed.), 2009). Participation, visitor engagement, self-organized and collaborative learning represent keywords mentioned in relation to museum education. Social Media include specific characteristics that can help to guarantee different kinds of participatory learning opportunities to make museum learning self-organized, engaging and community-friendly.
On-line learning is still an exception in the German Museum World, and therefore the gap between the presentation of general information like address and phone number and an educational service using Social Media to engage audiences is still large (INSTITUT FÜR MUSEUMSFORSCHUNG (Ed.), 2008, WWW, 55).[1] The Internet is basically used for public relations (PÖRSCHMANN, 2003, WWW, 1) and Social Media are mostly utilized for marketing reasons, i.e. posting general information concerning events and other press releases to advertise activities of the real museum's site.
German examples for Museum Education Services on the Internet and the use of Social Media will show the state-of-the-art of on-line education and learning within the German museum field. The Weimarpedia project wiki and the Fundgeschichten blog of the LWL-Museum for Archeology Herne will demonstrate how Social Media is used for blended learning projects to:

78002-s - MaxWax 12 oz. Aerosol
MaxWax is a waxy corrosion inhibitor and a solution to marine growth on the running gear of pleasure craft and workboats. The product forms a smooth, non-tacky, synthetic coating that provides long-term protection against rust, corrosion, and marine growth, even when applied over paint or other barriers. It's effective for up to one year in temperatures from sub-zero to nearly 400°F
Boaters in New Zealand report excellent results using MaxWax as a marine growth inhibitor. The flexible coating won't crack or lose its resiliency; marine growth just can't gain a foothold.
Non-toxic and biodegradable, MaxWax penetrates between and around tight fittings to prevent the incursion of growth, salt or fresh water, gases, or chemicals that can cause rust or corrosion. A single 12 oz. can will treat the running gear on a twin-engine pleasure boat or a small workboat.
An Exciting Product: MaxWax is a unique, synthetic wax-barrier coating that provides maximum protection of all metals and is effective in temperatures ranging from -60°F (-50°C) to over 390°F (200°C). It dries to a smooth, non-tacky, waxy film that remains pliable throughout its full operating range. It is resilient and bends with any movement of the coated surface, will not crack under stress, and maintains its protective coat intact.
Fast Drying: MaxWax should be sprayed on to a film thickness of 2 to 3 mils for uncovered outdoor storage of equipment. It dries in 8 to 24 hours, depending on ambient temperature and humidity. Unlike usual wax coatings, it will not harden, crack, or lose flexibility, even in sub-zero temperatures. What's more, it's a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) that provides added rust or corrosion protection when the product is applied to confined areas such as the inside of cabinets or other enclosures. This special vapor forms an invisible, monomolecular coating that extends protection even where the wax coating cannot reach or is not desired, such as on electrical switches or mechanisms.
Characteristics: Non-Toxic: MaxWax contains no chromates, nitrites, nitrates, or heavy-metal compounds.
Biodegradable: The product is organically-based and poses no waste disposal problems.
Concentrated: Excessive amounts of MaxWax are unnecessary, making it less expensive than other barrier coatings.
MaxWax with VCI is a tough, durable wax coating with a long-lasting, resilient barrier!
How to use: MaxWax can be used on machined, plated or other metal surfaces as well as over existing coatings and finishes. The product will outperform many traditional paints or coatings without any special surface preparation, although removal of dirt, grease or loose rust is recommended. A light, uniform coat is best achieved by spraying at a distance of 10 to 12 inches from the surface to be treated. Allow 8 to 24 hours for complete drying.
Typical applications: Apply to any metal surface where maximum protection is needed, such as pipe coating, cleats and cleat bolts, hinges and locks, chains and wire rope, long-term parts storage, shipment of parts/components, trailers, cars, planes, and boats, farm implements, hand tools, machine parts, and undercoating.
Removal: Should it be necessary to remove the product, simply apply mineral spirits and wipe away. Use solvents or mineral spirits to clean up tools and remove overspray.

Black Moth head out on a headline tour this month
Neil Ainger spoke to Dom McCready to find out more.
I first saw you live at Download Festival in 2013. Since then you have shared bills with Orange Goblin, Karma to Burn, Monster Magnet, Pentagram, L7 and Sisters of Mercy to name just a few! What does it mean to you to play with such great, experienced bands and what do you learn from it?
It's definitely a fantastic experience, especially when some of those bands we have loved since we were kids. Sometimes I have to pinch myself when you look back on some of the bands I've played with. I guess what you learn from it is how to play on bigger stages and an overall professional approach to playing shows, you need to adapt to be successful. You also learn that even if you play a song a million times and you're bored of it, ultimately it's about what you fans want to hear and you still have to put your all into it.
For someone who may be new to the band, how would you describe your sound?
Heavy, melodic, fuzzed up riffs n roll.
You often seem to be compared to various doom or stoner bands such as Blood Ceremony and Windhand but with the two prior records, The Killing Jar and Condemned to Hope, there are noticeable influences in garage, psychedelic and punk rock as well isn't there? Who would you say Black Moth are influenced by?
Black Moth have so many influences it's almost absurd! The thing about us is we all have very different musical tastes, my thing is mostly Death and Black Metal as well as Blues. Dave loves his prog rock and good time classics. Fedi loves her 70 and 80s classic rock as well as Thrash metal and Funk. Jim is a massive Grunge kid as well as loving hip-hop and Harriet listens to all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff. We never approach a song with the intention of making it sound like a certain genre, we just do what makes us happy and I guess all of our various influences spill out!
You're starting to get some press for the new album Anatomical Venus. Can you tell us about the record?
It was recorded at the Nave studio in Leeds by the incredibly talented Andy Hawkins and it was mixed by Russ Russell. A lot of Harriet's lyrics on this album are talking about the heaviness of the female experience. In the past, we haven't really embraced the gender thing and certainly stayed well away from anything political. But this time I think Harriet just needed let out a lot of the thoughts that had been tormenting her for the past few years. I would hope that compared to our earlier work it is an evolution and that we have become better songwriters and musicians.
You're just about to head out on the road. 9 cities in 9 days. What can people expect from this tour?
You can expect the heaviest Black Moth live show to date. We will be playing mostly material from the new record, which is really exciting as we've been sitting on this stuff for quite a while! See you on the road!
Black Moth can be seen in Newcastle on the 12th Feb and around the country on these dates.
7th February: Hope & Ruin, Brighton
8th February: Boston Music Rooms, London

Being able to run a business from home is something that many people are looking into these days. It's perfect for parents that have young children, and also people that have other responsibilities outside of your usual nine to five. However, even though it's your business you still need to stick to procedures so that you can get the custom that you need to make money. There are some small touches that you can add to your business that will instantly make you seem (and actually be) more professional. And let's face it, that's what you want when you're buying a product or service from someone. Here's how you can achieve this.
Have your website professionally designed
While building a website on your own might seem like the more frugal option, it certainly shows to your customers (unless of course, you're a web designer!) Consider having your website professionally designed so that when potential clients visit your website they are greeted by a fully professional website. It's also likely that if you run your business from home that it's mainly internet based, so it's definitely worth the investment.
There are many different layouts that you could go for, and the best thing to stick to is a layout that's easy to navigate through for your visitors. Having a website too complicated will turn people off and send them looking elsewhere.
Hire some help
As your business grows you may find it hard to keep up with all of the smaller jobs that you have to do. Appointment making and keeping an eye on tasks that you have to complete is something that's easily forgotten about. Consider hiring answering services that can help run your business with you. They will be the first point of contact for your customers and it will allow you to carry on with bigger and more important parts of your business.
Have advertisements made
Think about when you've seen adverts for businesses and companies around town or in the newspaper. It makes them seem more established and professional right? Again, it might seem like an expense that won't help, but you will be surprised at how many more clients you obtain and also how much more recognition that your business gets. Worth the cash injection for your company!
Attend networking events
Another thing that you should consider is attending networking events that correspond to what you offer as a business. This will allow you to showcase what your business has got to offer, all while scoping out competitors and also picking up tricks and tips along the way. You may also find that a similar business to yours is willing to collaborate – meaning that you can both make profit from each other's knowledge of your trade.
Apply these four small touches to your business and notice how quickly your business looks and feels more professional. Good luck with your business enterprise!

Linking local to global properties in branching modular networks: gorgonian coral colonies
- 152 Downloads
- Citations
Branching growth is present both in plants and animals, either marine or terrestrial. Although cellular and other modular levels of organization in plants and animals have evolved through different molecular and physiological mechanisms, several aspects of their branching modular system and morphology are similar. We studied vessel organization and colony integration, in order to comprehend underlying relationships between different structural components in a gorgonian coral network. The theoretical formalism was validated in the gorgonian coral Eunicea mammosa (Plexauridae, Octocorallia) in Belize. As in vascular plants, these colonial animals create a complex network of connections among modular branches integrated in stem canals downstream toward the base. A new formalism is proposed for describing gorgonian branching. A global property of a colony is for instance the size of its base or its weight whereas a local property is the size of branch in a particular place of the colony. However, a global property is not the simple addition of local modular properties, as the case of stem canals in the colony base. Theoretically, the process of branching is tightly intertwined with the internal network organization. The colony network centralization is driven by a linear relationship between the total number of branches and the stem canals at the base of the colony. If stem canals play important roles in the transport of nutrients throughout the colony and the biomechanical support from the base up to the tips, we can assume that there is an underlying association between the number of stem canals at the base and the number of for example, terminal branches. These associations may provide new findings that extend our understanding of the functional organization of tree-like networks in octocorals and their vascular systems. The idea that the external components of a tree-like plant network are directly correlated and connected down to the main trunk seems to be analogous in an animal system.

On Being Human
With the exception of Nietzsche, no other madman has contributed so much to human sanity as has Louis Althusser. He is mentioned twice in the Encyclopaedia Britannica as someone's teacher. There could be no greater lapse: for two important decades (the 60s and the 70s), Althusser was at the eye of all the important cultural storms. He fathered quite a few of them
You love having a second home but the mortgage is putting a crater in your wallet. Many second home owners turn to renting their property as a vacation rental to help defray the costs of ownership. How do you price a vacation home rental without overcharging but making enough to cover your costs? Do your research.
Find out what other owners of, similar sized homes in the area are charging. You can ask a local real estate agent for a price range, scan local papers or go online. There are also vacation rental sites like eVaca.com. These types of sites have advertisements from owners around the world and weekly rates for the properties are listed.
Most important, do not forget to spend time in your own vacation home. Owning the property and not being able to enjoy it defeats the purpose of having that second home!

T2 Terminated, Hammerheads Up Next/
I couldn't make it to Rhinehaus this past weekend; I had to work. While everyone in the break room seemed to be excited for the return of Game of Thrones, I was much more interested in FC Cincinnati's match against Toronto 2. I tuned in on my phone while the rest of Die Innenstadt gathered in OTR. I'm not sure what was better: Omar Cummings scoring a goal within three minutes of his FCC debut or Mitch Hildebrandt's Sports Center Top Ten goalkeeping.
That was a big win, a great way to come back after the Louisville match. Two-ronto is a decent squad. To use one last Arnold Schwarzenegger related pun ala my last post: "they'll be back." Toronto FC II pays us a visit this June. Until then, hopefully the momentum carries into this weekend against the Wilmington Hammerheads.
Wilmington Hammerheads FC has been in existence since 1996. They're a club that has had some surprising success in the US Open Cup while facing many ups and downs over the years. They didn't play in 2010 and in 2015 they had an abysmal year finishing in last place with only 3 wins, 10 draws, and a staggering 15 losses. This season has started a lot better for them though; they're currently 2-2-1 with 7 points, two behind FCC. If you happened to catch Wilmington's recent game against New York Red Bulls 2, you would have seen them fall by 1 to the visitors. You also probably noticed the gridiron lines on the field and the football goalposts that are only partially removed.
Averaging around 2,960 fans in the 2015 season, the sharks will be coming to Nippert where there are no American football markings on the field and where there'll probably be well more than 3,000 people in the stands. While we hope FCC can keep up the momentum on the pitch, I'm hoping locals of the Queen City will keep the support coming at Nippert this weekend. Two weeks ago we broke the regular season attendance record with over 20,000 in attendance. I'm confident the stands of Nippert will remain packed and provide an intimidating atmosphere for a team from a North Carolina vacation town.
Some other stuff to get you ready for this Saturday:
- Our vice president Timo Breitenstein was interviewed on Cincinnati Soccer Talk this week. Check it out here and tune in regularly; these guys do a great show.
- As is the new norm, we'll be getting together at Mecklenburg Gardens before the match. We'll be there from 3 PM until we march up to Nippert. Link.
- Saturday is also the University of Cincinnati's commencement. Unless you know someone graduating, all this really means to you is that traffic will probably be awful. Be smart, arrive early, and come fill up Nippert. The club put out some helpful parking tips here, but the best way to enjoy things is to come hang out with us beforehand.
Let's go shark hunting.
Ronny Salerno is a founding member of Die Innenstadt as well as an author and photographer who appreciates history and Waffle House coffee.
Tom Niehaus is an awesome guy who edits these posts for him and offers creative contributions.

by 3 Generations Director of Development Lindsay GebhartClick here to read the full impact report
For the past five years 3 Generations has worked hard to bring the issues surrounding the sexual exploitation of women and children to light. Our founder, Jane Wells, first began exploring the dark world of the domestic sex trade in 2010 and was astounded by what she learned. She quickly began capturing this world, along with those who sought to help or hurt those involved, with a series of short films that eventually grew into the feature documentary film Tricked.
She, along with the rest of the team at 3 Generations, wanted to show the world that these people's lives were not simply the results of bad choices and/or drug abuse. These women and children were sex trafficking victims. This distinction was one of many our organization strived to reshape over time.
When I began my work at 3 Generations I was extremely impressed by the scope and depth of the organization's sex trafficking campaign, and I was excited to help create a report to document all of the campaign's achievements.
The report highlights and details the work done surrounding three core problems:
Problem One: The false belief that prostitution isn't a problem and is a victimless crime.
The impact of our series of films, and Tricked in particular, was far greater than we had hoped and anticipated. A report commissioned to track media hits on this campaign between March 2013 and May 2014 identified 321 unique media hits which, in turn, generated 75 million media impressions. In 2016 Tricked will be distributed globally.
Problem Two: Law enforcement is targeting and arresting the wrong people.
There has been a demonstrable shift in law enforcement culture since 2010, more states have implemented Safe Harbor laws and we are engaged with District Attorneys and Attorney Generals through Tricked. The 3rd Annual Malone Prize ceremony will be held in Miami in February 2016 and co-hosted by the State's Attorney of Miami-Dade and Camillus House. Both of these agencies are now working together to address sex trafficking in their area.
Problem Three: There is a lack of direct services to help trafficking survivors escape the life and transition out
We were able to make dozens of nonprofit partnerships and produced nearly two dozen short films featuring many of them.

If Katrin Bennhold's front-page article in today's New York Times —Years of Rape and "Utter Contempt" in Britain — were told as a narrative movie, it would be considered too far-fetched to be true and would most likely be viewed as a hyperbolic psychological drama. However it is a news item and one subtitled, "Life in an English Town Where Abuse of Girls Flourished."
Ms. Bennhold recounts a monstrous story of over 1000 girls as young as 12 being groomed for rape by gangs of young Pakistani men over a period of 16 years in a working class town called Rotherham. Even when girls came forward with parental support, the authorities chose to ignore the crimes, lost evidence and succumbed to the worst kind of victim blaming. In a staggering series of cases of police negligence, children who were raped were referred to as "tarts" and crimes against them called "100% consensual".
It would be easy to imagine this does not happen here in the United States or that this is an isolated incident. Sadly, neither is the case. Nor is it simply a story of child abuse and rape. What is described is sexual slavery and fits our Federal definition of (child) sex trafficking. It also serves as an important illustration of the common misconceptions about commercial sex, outdated law enforcement culture around prostitution and sex crimes and the on-going battle to stop blaming victims for crimes committed against them.
Ms. Bennold's article describes girls being groomed by young men who they perceived as friends or boyfriends – this is the most common way that pimps in the USA recruit girls into the sex trade. In Rotherham the sexual encounters, "evolved from personal gratification to business opportunities" to literal life–threatening enslavement, an evolution that perfectly matches the descent of many young people in this country from quasi-volitional sex work to enslavement.
Equally tragic and also prevalent in this country is the dominant culture that sees, and in many cases, insists that all this sexual activity is consensual. This ranges from adults engaging in sex with underage boys and girls, which, whether we like it or not, is statutory rape, to minors being "boyfriended" or kidnapped by pimps and gangs and sold for sex as prostitutes. The outcomes of these crimes depend almost entirely on the attitude of local law enforcement and their understanding of the severity of harm done to any minor who is sexually abused. Many people in this country (and elsewhere) believe prostitution is a victimless crime, one that it is here to stay and does not warrant time, money and focus by our criminal justice system.
My experience over the last 5 years making the documentary Tricked about sex slavery in the USA unequivocally indicates otherwise. No one I encountered was unscathed by their sexual abuse. All still carry deep and lasting wounds years and decades later and every john who had purchased sex was insistent that nothing that he had done could have in any way harmed the girls and boys from whom he had paid for sex. In between is the criminal justice system – gradually waking up to the reality that sexual crimes of this sort are major human rights violations that need our utmost attention. Alas, way too slowly for the hundreds of thousand of victims out there. Katrin Bennhold deserves praise for telling such as newsworthy story.
Sarah's Home
Lincoln and Jenny Smith
"Aww, are you crying? Do you need a hug?"
These are the words coming from 14-year-old Tessa*, spoken to her foster mom as they walked out of church last night. I was moved because this is a girl who 6 months ago was being trafficked on the streets, escorted from motel to motel, sold for sex to strangers each night. This is a child who has experienced unmentionable trauma and pain. Every relationship she's ever known since birth has been dysfunctional and hurtful. She has every right to recoil at the thought of touching another person. No one would blame her for wanting to crawl into a closet and cry herself to sleep, far away from any other human being. Yet here she is, attuned to the pain of another person, empathetic towards the emotions of her foster mom. It might seem like a benign comment, but it's a key indicator that this traumatized girl is healing.
Today thousands of children are being sold for sex right here in the United States. Thirteen-year-old girls are marketed online and delivered to motel rooms to service men old enough to be their fathers. Children who should be listening to the latest pop sensation with their friends and giggling while learning to put on make-up are instead learning how to properly pleasure a man.
The majority of kids sucked into commercial sex trafficking come from single-parent homes, abusive and neglectful homes, state care (foster or group homes), or they are runaways living on their own or with friends or other families.
In other words, when families are unhealthy and broken, kids are vulnerable to exploitation.
If we recognize that vulnerable children are being sold for sex in our communities and we choose to engage the issue, we must answer the question, "What is the best way to help these children heal?"Sarah's Home is a long-term safe home located in Colorado Springs for juvenile girls rescued out of the forced commercial sex trade in the U.S. Our restoration program includes therapy sessions 3 times a week. Two teachers are in the home each day working one-on-one with the girls to bring them up to speed with their education. We have a small group of mentors that work with the girls on empowering activities. Right now at Sarah's Home, we have one home that is up and running with 3 girls and their foster mom. Our second home will be ready to open as soon as we find the right fit for a second foster mom (or foster couple.) Each home is licensed for 4 girls, allowing us to help 8 kids.
The path to healing for our girls is exceptionally complicated and multi-faceted. But at the heart of each necessary healing element are relationships; relationships with family, friends, community, faith, education, etc.
At Sarah's Home we have learned that trauma happened in the context of broken relationships, and healing will happen in the context of healthy relationships.**
Before you gloss over that concept, pause and think about it.
Healing comes from relationships.
If you accept that premise, you have to then ask, "Who is going to have a healing relationship with this child?" Is it going to be the night shift worker at the state run detention center or group home? Is it going to be the social worker or parole officer? Is it going to be their teacher or coach or neighbor? All of these are important relationships for the child. But these people all have one thing in common, they go home at the end of the day or at the end of their shift, and the child is left alone yet again. By necessity these relationships end up being compartmentalized and shallow because a child can't be emotionally close to someone who is not present with them.
This is why we choose to run Sarah's Home as a foster home. One of our core values is that we want our girls to learn to build healthy relationships. Our foster mom works hard to build relationships that prove that the girls are worth loving through the good and the bad, the pretty and the ugly. Our girls need a person who is willing to listen to their pain and endure their defense mechanism of lashing out at those around them; a person that can experience their anger and their hurt without recoiling.
The girls are longing for unconditional love and this only happens if you are present . . . a lot. Present when she is crying in her closet, when nightmares keep her awake at night, when she is getting her STD report at the doctor, when she discovers she is actually 3 years behind where she thought she was in school. The same person needs to experience all that with her, and still love her. And then that same person also gets to experience the straight A's in school that are the fruit of diligent studying, the thrill of learning to bake her first cake, the joy of completing her first long hike, and the confidence that comes from testifying against her trafficker in court.
Because she's been through the good and the bad with the girls, it's the foster mom that gets to hear the words, "Aww, are you crying? Do you need a hug?"

By: Danielle Douglas, sex trafficking survivor and advocate
This article originally appeared in the Huffington Post.
I was lured by a pimp as a 17-year-old freshman at Northeastern University and spent two harrowing years under his control. I managed to escape with the help of my family, and have spent the last eight years rebuilding my life. I am one of the lucky ones. I am a survivor. As a result, I have become a passionate advocate to help those less fortunate than I.
I am extremely thankful for the opportunities I have been given to speak out and fight against sex trafficking. I have learned to feel comfortable speaking publicly about what happened to me. In many ways, telling my story has helped me recover.
Recently, I have come to realize that the struggle against trafficking can be a confusing journey that often leaves me hopeless and saddened. It's not only our shame as survivors and the prejudice we experience from members of the community that we have to overcome, but sometimes it's also the intentions of those who seek to help us.
Survivors are not always treated as experts, even when talking about our own experiences. This is unfortunate. People who see themselves as friends in the anti-trafficking movement seem to have forgotten the true meaning of what it is to be a survivor. A survivor is someone who puts himself or herself on the line, battling their own fear, safety and mental and social anguish to fight for their own freedom and the freedom of others. The stakes are literally life and death. Survivors aren't actresses or actors. We are not selling or promoting a product. We are not engaged in the issue because we are "mission driven" folks. We are engaged in the issue and in this struggle because we know how it feels to be hopeless, to be suicidal, to feel no self worth, to feel that we are disposable.
I find today in my life as a survivor that when I am mistreated, it brings me back to when I was under pimp control. I thought the pimp who had manipulated and beat me, mentally and physically, was dead and gone. I was wrong. He lives on. The PTSD is only one cruel barb or one misguided manipulation away. The general public needs to be educated and can perhaps be forgiven for not knowing better. But those who work on this issue must do better. At times it feels that in the search for a good story we are willing to sell not only our own souls to the devil, but also the souls of others, including those whose souls are just regaining their strength. What exacerbates all of this is who some of these soul sellers are. The fact is they can be anyone — strangers or the media — or they can be our so-called "allies," abolitionists, NGOs and service providers. The same people who you think would understand and know how to support a survivor of sex trafficking.
I have been asked on some occasions if I can "look young" for certain media opportunities because they want to have an underage survivor. "It brings more attention to the issue." "It causes more concern." But where do we draw the line? Isn't that just the same as a john asking me to put pigtails in my hair so I look 13?
Luckily, a majority of my experiences in the advocacy world have been positive, uplifting and motivating, including my work on the upcoming documentary, Tricked. Throughout the filming, I was encouraged and supported in sharing my story and experiences. I was given many freedoms regarding what was filmed, and this assisted me in reaching deeper into my recovery as a survivor. The experience returning to where I was trafficked was pretty terrifying, but I have no regrets. I feel lucky and honored to have been given the opportunity to work with Jane Wells and 3Generations and the amazing men in law enforcement that I share the film with, Chris Baughman and Dan Steele.
My hope is that the film is able to reach a wide range of people and possibly transform their beliefs around sex trafficking. The diverse stories and viewpoints depicted throughout the film allow for a fuller understanding of the issue. This is what makes the film so powerful: we hear from the pimps, johns, survivors, families and law enforcement officials.

What does the war against the trafficking of women, men and children look like on the front lines? Imagine, gangs, money, sex and violence; it has the makings of a great Hollywood thriller — edge of your seat suspense. A hard-boiled, square-jawed detective enters the seedy underbelly of society and rescues a beautiful young woman from the clutches of a maniacal terror; played by Anthony Hopkins nonetheless. If this were reality, wouldn't it be so much simpler? A 90-minute ride through the horrors of modern day slavery, where the bad guy is always caught and the hero saves the day and gets the girl to boot.
Unfortunately, the front lines in the war on trafficking are not glamorous. The everyday battle being waged by the men and women in blue is always uphill, and the victories are few and far between. The true story is plagued by stops and starts; roadblocks at every turn. The vast majority of detectives investigating sex trafficking spend hours behind their desks, compiling thousands of pages of case file documentation. There are no high speed chases, no shootouts and there are definitely no suspenseful, last minute rescues. In fact, I would be hard pressed to say we as cops are 'rescuing' anyone at all. To rescue, is to free from confinement, violence, danger or evil. It's true; cops rescue trafficking survivors in the immediate short-term sense, especially as it relates to confinement. But can a police officer truly deliver someone from violence, from danger and evil?
Trafficking survivors experience the penultimate horror, being bought and sold like meat. As a police officer, I can't even begin to comprehend the emotional and psychological trauma invoked from sexual slavery. In fact, I have yet to speak with a survivor who, even years later, truly felt they had been rescued from the evil they experienced at the hands of their exploiter. So, no, cops are not rescuing people from trafficking. Rather, we are aiding people in becoming survivors, assisting them at the initial stages of what will be a lifetime of recovery.
So, wait, if I'm not saving the day, then what good am I? That's the question that plagues every investigator working this heinous offense. The age old deliberation that eventually haunts every cop, "Am I even making a difference?" To that I say, "Of course you are." After all, as cops, we are supposed to seek justice, we are supposed to stand and fight where others would not dare. While I may never swing in on a bull whip to save the day, I still count every person recovered from trafficking as a victory and every trafficker put in jail a triumph. Understanding that police are at the very forefront of a growing epidemic, understanding as cops we may be the first person to recognize trafficking and, thereby, understanding as cops we need to respond appropriately, is how we can truly make a difference. The better cops understand human trafficking, trauma bonds, coercion, manipulation and deception, the better we can respond to the needs of the exploited. After all, we don't want to exacerbate the situation, becoming exploiters ourselves.
It is important to realize that the police cannot solve human trafficking alone. As a community, we must recognize that trafficking is the end result of much deeper societal woes — poverty, homelessness, gender inequality and more. If we want to abolish the sale of humans, we must look deeper and work to fix the root causes that lead to trafficking in the first place. The fight against human trafficking will not be won by cops or caped crusaders. Human trafficking will only be destroyed when we come together as a society and agree it is a problem, agree it needs to be stopped and agree to work together to stop it. Not really very glamorous is it? Honestly, it doesn't even sound like "movie-of-the-week" material. Well folks, this is reality. The reality is we need everyone to wake up, step up and get involved in the fight. I'll do my part and still go out and catch the bad guys.

Before we decided to collaborate on the documentary film TRICKED, one of us was filming street prostitution in Washington, D.C. (blocks from the White House) and the other was filming pimps at work in Chicago. When we discovered what we were both working on, we decided to partner on a joint film at a time when street prostitution was still flourishing in many parts of this country. Four years later, as TRICKED premieres, the landscape of sex trafficking has changed dramatically. Street prostitution is largely gone; two of the victims we filmed were recruited by pimps from their own living rooms via smartphones. Computer solicitations have turned into smart phone apps. Craigslist has been replaced by Backpage.com. And light plea bargains for pandering have turned into multi-year trafficking sentences.
At the onset of filming, we encountered severe misconceptions: "Sex trafficking only happens in Thailand," or, "The girls do it by choice." At the other extreme, jaw-dropping stats overstated the realities like sensationalized fiction. There is precious little data on the subject, and urban myths supporting both sides of the prostitution debate abound. We had to dispel the myths first; clarify the truths, second. As the basic landscape kept changing during production, we faced a constantly moving target as we made TRICKED.
On several occasions, we worked with devoted community leaders who fought trafficking alongside colleagues who openly belittled it as a victimless crime. Two opposite ends of the spectrum worked under the same roof. Embedded with law enforcement officers in several cities, we found some were enlightened and kind to those caught up in prostitution, while others were cruel and judgmental.
The variety of viewpoints and facts presented a real challenge. We struggled to tell the whole story from as many angles as possible, to try and show the real truth of sex trafficking in America without further victimizing those in the life or preaching from the soap box of the so-called abolitionists. We wanted to make a film that would be interesting to both male and female audiences. We wanted to let johns and pimps reveal who they were and how they ticked. Sometimes this was disturbing, other times infuriating. There was a great deal of gallows humor.
Making TRICKED clued us into the fact that sex trafficking continues to evolve, and the various factions continue to argue. The legalization and the pro-trafficking lobbies are strong. Sex trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the country. The fact is, this is big business: industry stats, which we believe are accurate, say both sex trafficking and human trafficking combined are a $9.8 billion a year industry in the United States. At the same time, the number of anti-trafficking NGOs continues to grow along with their reach and impact. Although we've noticed positive change in the past year, and new legislation is before Congress, the road to permanent change remains long, uncharted and complex. Changing cultural norms is essential to progress.
While inaccuracy and denial continue to cloud the realities of domestic sex trafficking, our hope is that TRICKED does its part to spark a national dialogue and create change. The victims — our daughters, sisters, mothers and sons — deserve nothing less.

I was in Kigali for the 12th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. It was my first time, and hopefully my last time, witnessing a mass burial of unknown genocide victims.
After the ceremony, a Holocaust survivor shared his story. For several teenagers, it was a momentous speech: it was the first time that they realized genocide had occurred elsewhere in the world. Genocide wasn't just Rwanda's problem.
Two weeks later, I began my first documentary, SURVIVING HITLER: A LOVE STORY. The film focused on Jutta, a teenager in Nazi Germany who discovered that she was Jewish. She joined the German resistance and met Helmuth, an injured soldier. The two became sweethearts and co-conspirators in the final plot to assassinate Hitler.
It's a harrowing tale of war, resistance, and survival, but at the center of the documentary is a love story for the ages, with riveting narration by Jutta herself, original 8mm footage (shot by Helmuth) and, miraculously, a happy ending.
SURVIVING HITLER: A LOVE STORY enjoyed a successful festival run and aired on over a dozen TV stations including the BBC. Jutta's main message was well received: stand up to evil– that and a little luck can change the world. With Jutta's encouragement in mind, I set out to find a contemporary human rights story.
Jane and I met during that remarkable trip to Rwanda. While I went off to make a documentary, she set up 3 Generations. In 2011 we decided to join forces on TRICKED.
During the course of filming, the landscape of domestic sex trafficking evolved: computer solicitations turned into smart phones apps, Craigslist was replaced by Backpage, and plea bargains turned into multiyear sentences. We didn't have the advantage of historians, time, or distance to offer perspective. Domestic sex trafficking was happening here, in America. We were chasing a moving target.
When I look back at how SURVIVING HITLER: A LOVE STORY influenced TRICKED, I realize that both films focus on people who struggle against evil. In WWII the evils happened to be well defined and Jutta lucked into a Hollywood ending. Meanwhile, sex trafficking has no ending. In fact, we're only just reaching the first critical turning point.
Over the course of filming, Jane and I noticed a few promising changes. Press coverage, public awareness, and the culture of law enforcement all showed signs of improvement. There is real progress. It's just slow. I hope TRICKED does its part to further the national dialogue.
In the words of Jutta, "Stand up against evil—that and a little luck can change the world."
Interested in seeing TRICKED? The film will run from Dec. 13th-19th at the Quad Cinema in NYC. Check out the Quad Cinema's listings on movietickets.com. Admission is free for law enforcement with ID.

This week, Jane Wells and TRICKED star, Sgt. Daniel Steele, were invited to participate in the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting. The meeting's theme, 'Mobilizing For Impact', brought together hundreds of the world's leaders and thinkers and provided Jane and Dan with the ideal platform for them to share their work. On Tuesday, Jane participated in the 'Storytelling: A Tool For Action' session in which she shared 3 Generations' efforts to utilize storytelling as a tool for both survivor healing as well as advocacy. On Wednesday, Dan spoke on the 'Human Trafficking: Sporting Events as Opportunities for Advocacy' panel, sharing his personal experiences fighting sex trafficking in Denver and discussing how we can combat human trafficking at the upcoming Super Bowl*. Jane wrapped things up yesterday, speaking at 'The Myth and Promise of Data for Social Impact' session in which she discussed 3 Generations' efforts to coordinate cross-sector support for our film, TRICKED, and action in combating domestic sex trafficking.
Reflecting on his first experience at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting Dan feels that, "participating on the panel at C.G.I. was a truly great experience. Not only were the other panelists extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, but the audience was participative and fully engaged in the discussion. I felt honored to be included with such an impressive group." Jane seconded Dan's comments, adding that the most exciting thing to her at C.G.I. was, "the promise of collaboration and the heartfelt offers of members of this administration to support everyone's efforts in fighting human trafficking." As an organization, we're so proud to see Jane and Dan standing alongside so many of the world's most innovative thinkers and leaders. Their dedication, and the dedication of every other leader at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, shows not only the impact that one individual can have, but more importantly, what can come from the concerted effort of a group of dedicated leaders. Let's pray these feelings of hope last!
This past weekend the FBI, working alongside 230 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, launched its largest attack on sex trafficking with raids recovering 105 teen victims and resulting in the arrests of over 150 pimps. This was an amazing operation and we are very grateful for the FBI and law enforcement's hard work. We'd like to say a special thank you, however, to our friend and star of our upcoming feature documentary, TRICKED, Sgt. Dan Steele.
Discussing the events of this past weekend, Steele says, "The most significant and startling number associated with the event were the 9 minors recovered exclusively by the task force. The number is truly disconcerting, especially when one considers Denver only trailed major metropolitan cities like San Francisco/Oakland, Detroit and Milwaukee. The national recovery number of 105 children is alarming and disgusting and is really an indictment of the growing problem sweeping this country. If that number doesn't wake people up I don't know what will."
