Whenever I make a purchase, I like to share my buys to document my journey towards financial independence. As regular readers are aware, I have broken from the pack of DGI and sold some of my investments to move to a cash position. I shared details on my motivation to do so in this post. In that post, I have indicated that I am bullish only on one sector currently — the resource/materials sector, and more specifically gold and silver.
As part of my first moves, I had initiated positions in two silver-focused companies — a streaming company: Silver Wheaton Corp (SLW.TO) and a mining company: Pan American Silver Corp (PAA.TO). Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you have noticed the meteoric rise in silver over the first half of the year. Silver still continues to perform very well and still presents the best investment outlook compared to other options. I reinforced my position by adding more shares last week.
I added to my position in Silver Wheaton Corp (SLW.TO) with 50 shares @ C$31.50. The company yields 0.8% adding US$10 to my annual passive income. Nothing to write home about. But as I mentioned in earlier posts, this move is not about dividends.
I usually present my thesis on why I bought a particular investment security and present the risks associated in the Recent Buys posts. In this case, I will simply link to my last post on Silver Wheaton purchase as nothing has changed as far as the outlook goes since my last purchase.
Full Disclosure: Long PAA.TO, SLW.TO. My full list of holdings can be found here.

Katherine Myers Mesick '05 wins American Physical Society Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics
Lebanon Valley College alumna Dr. Katherine Myers Mesick '05 has been awarded the American Physical Society Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics.
Graduating with a bachelor of science in physics, Mesick attended graduate school at George Washington University and received her Ph.D. in 2012 for analysis of data from the Qweak experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The Qweak experiment uses parity violating electron scattering to determine the weak charge of the proton.
Mesick was awarded the American Physical Society Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics for her thesis "The First Determination of the Proton's Weak Charge Through Parity-Violating Asymmetry Measurements in Elastic e + p and e + Al Scattering," and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at Rutgers University.
"My main focus as a Rutgers postdoc is the 'MUSE' Experiment: the MUon proton Scattering Experiment," Mesick explains on her LinkedIn profile. "This experiment has been recently approved at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. We want to address the 'proton radius puzzle'; the puzzle over why the proton radius is different depending on if you use electrons or muons to probe it. The 7-sigma discrepancy has attracted a lot of attention and there are numerous possible explanations. Our aim is to measure electron-proton and muon-proton scattering at very low momentum transfer, and do a direct comparison of the proton radius extracted in these two cases. This will test if electrons and muons might actually be different, and we will also be studying two-photon exchange effects by measuring both particle polarities."
Mesick was previously awarded the Jefferson Sciences Associates/Jefferson Lab Thesis Prize in 2012, given to the best Ph.D. student thesis at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.

3.7Rock Bridge Option #2
The beer pours dark brown with an off white head. The aroma had cream, milk, smooth roast, dark caramel coffee and heavy sweetness. It has a medium body with is kinda light for an imperial stout with mild carbonation. The taste has earthy hops, spice and light char. The finish is richer like the aroma. Pretty good. Easily best Ive had from rock bridge.
Wednesday, September 21, 2016
3.9Rock Bridge Option #2
Smells strongly of raisin, plum and other dark fruit. More like a Belgian than a stout, but there is some light roast coffee in the background. Dull black color with no head. Tastes like milk chocolate with a tinge of coffee bitterness and booze. Very good, albeit a little sweet. I would classify this as a sweet stout, not an imperial, maybe the ABV qualifies it as such. Smooth palate with low carbonation. Well done by Rock Bridge, I would like to try more of their beers soon.
Saturday, September 17, 2016
3.8Rock Bridge Option #2
Can thanks to Russell. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong hazelnut, milk chocolate, roast. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, very nice.
Thursday, September 08, 2016
3.3Rock Bridge Option #2
Fairly dark, half finger dark khaki head. Smells of chocolate brownie, peanut butter, dark chocolate bar, chocolate grain or cereal, small bit of grape, stale coffee beans. Taste is sweet chocolate with some roasted hop bitter, vanilla, roasted coffee, a plastic like bitter in the finish. The off tastes in the finish aren't great but there's plenty of different chocolate tones, but coffee is subdued. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
Wednesday, August 24, 2016
3.3Rock Bridge Farmers Daughter Peppered Rye Saison
(Draught) Pours a hazy golden body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of pine, rye, pepper, florals, and earthiness. Flavor of pepper, citrus, pine, and rye with a moderately dry finish.
Tuesday, July 26, 2016
4.2Rock Bridge Option #2
Pour from a 16 or so oz can while waiting for ODB at perennial last Saturday. Black pour. Aroma and taste of roast, fudge, slight vanilla. Creamy body. This was fantastic, probably my favorite of the day at a very good bottle share.
Tuesday, June 28, 2016
3.1Rock Bridge Option #2
Dark black with a tan head. The first smell was chocolate cake with a little peanut butter. The chocolate cake follows in the taste breaking down into bakers chocolate, vanilla and confectioners sugar. A hint of cherry cordial. Ends with a slightly metallic and bakelite bitterness. A soft, medium-full mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
Wednesday, June 15, 2016
3.8Rock Bridge The Mother
Sampler pours black with a brown head. Aroma of toffee, coffee, cocoa and some grains. Taste is coffee and chocolate.
Sunday, May 22, 2016
2.7Rock Bridge Tailgate Smoked Brown
Pour is a brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice smoke at first followed by some leather tannis. Flavor is smoke to start then comes an ok breadyness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
Monday, May 16, 2016
3.5Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Sample at Parkville MIcrobrew Fest 2016. Comes a hazy golden orange with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus, malt, and pine. Taste is citrus, pine, malt, and grain. Pretty darn good.
Friday, May 06, 2016
3.3Rock Bridge Option #2
Sampled at the SCCCT event at Friendship Brewery. It poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma was of malts, some coffee, spices, chocolate and a hint of vanilla. The taste was similar to the aroma with more roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and cinnamon. Tasty.
Saturday, March 12, 2016
3.9Rock Bridge Option #2
On tap at the Bier Station, KC. Comes black with a small tan head. Aroma of malt, coffee, spice, and chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon. Vey good.
Thursday, November 19, 2015
3.4Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
From a can. Cloudy orange, nice white head. Smells like rye toast, with some green, grassy notes.Nicely dry, with woody, toasty flavors. Resin, piney bitterness. Clean finish.
Tuesday, September 08, 2015
3.3Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Can. Golden orange with one finger head. Caramel base with medium rye and citrus hops. Average, perhaps a bit above.
Thursday, July 16, 2015
3.5Rock Bridge Option #2
Tap, nice black brown ish brew lightly reddish in light, with khaki suds. The aroma is huge coffee with a sweet hazelnut toffee sweet thing. The flavor is also big tho the body isnt too heavy. Lots of roasty coffee flavors as the base with sweet vanilla hazelnut toffee caramel swirled throughout the beer. At times its too much flavoring sometimes its alright. Overall enjoyable but I couldnt drink a lot of it. Would be interesting to try a barrel aged version tho, it could easily hold its own.
Thursday, July 02, 2015
3.1Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
16 oz can. Murky and coppery-orange with a smallish head. Aroma is kind of earthy, and of rye. Rye is obvious from the get-go, but its not overwhelming, providing taste, but almost no rye spiciness. Orange, citrus hops with a decent sweetness to balance. Palate is a little bit watery. One of the more unique rye beers Ive tried in that the rye taste is there with almost none of the spice. Its good.
Saturday, June 13, 2015
3Rock Bridge Tailgate Smoked Brown
Tasted on draft at 2015 St. Louis Microfest in a willi becher glass. It poured an opaque dark brown colour, no head. Strong dark malt flavours, much too burnt and smoky for me, with diacetyl and an odd tartness underneath. Medium body and carbonation. Not terrible but not good. Its rare that I meet a brown ale I dont like.
Monday, May 11, 2015
3.7Rock Bridge Option #2
Draft sampler pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, malts and grains. Taste is chocolate, coffee, toffee and malts.
Monday, April 20, 2015
3.6Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Draft sampler pours Amber with a off white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and malts. Taste is malts, citrus and caramel.
Monday, April 20, 2015
3.5Rock Bridge Obligatory Pumpkin Ale
Draft sampler pours Amber with a tan head. Aroma of pumpkin, malts and spice. Taste is spice, pumpkin and grain.
Monday, April 20, 2015
3.7Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Thanks to Doran the was sent to me in trade. This poured from the 16 oz can a hazy golden orange color with a beige head and excellent lacing. Attractive. Nose is rye, tropical fruit and citrus and floral hops. Medium in body with a resinous mouth feel. Flavor is rich with the rye and tropical fruit in good balance and the finish is big on the tropical fruit and nicely bitter. Really nice.
Thursday, January 29, 2015
1.7Rock Bridge Saison
This was disappointing. I was excited to have a regional brewery with a Saison. This just wasnt impressive at all. The pour is okay, very little head. The taste is flat with hints of citrus, but not palate popping citrus from other Saisons I have had. The finish us sour and lingers.
Tuesday, December 30, 2014
3.6Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Tasted on 12/12/14 from a 16oz can, thanks to Shea. Pours hazy burnt auburn with an average beige head that slowly recedes to fairly thick, sticky lace. The nose is a cool blend of spicy, cereal rye with a lightly fruity, earthy green hops aroma. The flavor is nicely balanced with even more fruity hops, nice spice and earthiness balancing. The body is medium with average, smooth carbonation, and a long fruity, bitter, and spicy finish.
Saturday, December 13, 2014
2.7Rock Bridge Tailgate Smoked Brown
The beer pours a clear reddish brown color with a large off-white head, and the aroma blends smoked, roasted, and caramel malts. The taste, though, is not great due to mild sourness and touch of umami, and the aftertaste is reminiscent of smouldering ashes and campfires. After youve swallowed, it feels as if you want to move out of the wind of a wood fire. The palate fueses a slick texture, medium-light body, and a soft carbonation.
Monday, December 01, 2014
3.6Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
On tap at GTMW 2014 - Pours pale yellow with a thin white ring of head. Nose is sweet wheat, light mineral, and a touch of white grape. Pretty dry. Taste is dry, with mineral, pale dry wheat malt, and a little white grape. Fluffy body, well-carbonated.
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
2.3Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
This beer pours a very clear yellow with a small white ring. The aroma blends wheat and strong yeast, and the dominating yeast continues through in the flavor, which is mildly sour and only slightly acidic. The aftertaste is also very yeasty and tastes more like an American wheat than a Berliner Weiss. The palate fuses a medium body, average carbonation, and a slick texture. Im not impressed whatsoever.
Monday, November 24, 2014
3Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
On tap @ Beer Camp - Chicago. Light yellow with a small white head. Notes of wheat grain, slight citrus, slight sour, and light fruits. Finish is a bit metallic.
Saturday, November 22, 2014
3.3Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Pretty good ipa. Doesnt taste like a 7%. Hits clean, but after a few minutes you get a bit of malt. Not a problem. My slacking on drinking shouldnt matter in the review of a beer. This is a super solid and good ipa. Just not the best after you faded out and woke back up and started drinking again.
Friday, November 07, 2014
3.8Rock Bridge Margarita Spree Berliner Weisse
On tap at GTMW 2014 - Pours pale yellow with a filmy white head. Nose is honey, tart wheat, and lime. Taste is gentle tart wheat and lime, with honey and mineral. Thin and well-carbonated.
Tuesday, November 04, 2014
3.4Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
Sampled at Augusta Bottoms Beer Festival 2014 - Pours pale light yellow and is very clear with a small white head. The aroma has passion fruit, mild tartness and crisp wheat. It has a light crisp body with a minor amount of carbonation. The flavor starts with light sourness, light grain and some aspirin. The finish is very short. Decent.
Sunday, November 02, 2014
3.1Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
Nice light wheaty, fruity brew. Very light yellow translucent color. Yeasty aroma. Citrus notes. Mildly sour.
Saturday, October 25, 2014
2.7Rock Bridge Baltic Porter
The downfall here is the bitterness. The body would be so much more enjoyable if it wasnt dry/bitter immediately. Other than that, good roasted, dark malt flavors throughout.
Saturday, October 25, 2014
2.3Rock Bridge Saison
Something strange about this one. Not a typical saison. Strange flavors that dont quite hold together as a farmhouse ale. Not recommended.
Sunday, October 19, 2014
3.2Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Had at 2014 Joplin Ozarks Beerfest. Surprisingly smooth rye IPA. Liked this one. Good finish to an eventful night for me.
Saturday, October 18, 2014
3Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
Mpled at Augusta. Very light yellowish and clear with a white head. Very light fare. Mildly tart fruit flavor and aroma. A little apple. Super light.
Saturday, October 11, 2014
3.3Rock Bridge Saison
16 oz draft pours amber with a white head. Aroma of malts, spice and yeast. Taste is yeast, malts and funk.
Sunday, August 31, 2014
3.8Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
16 ounce can thanks to Ben. Lots of malt and rye in this one. Nice citrus hop profile. Pretty tasty overall.
Monday, August 25, 2014
3.4Rock Bridge Margarita Spree Berliner Weisse
Great Taste of the Midwest 2014 Offering (Madison, WI). Pours a gently hazed crisp pale champagne hue. A big bubbly creamy white head atop stays larger, decent stick around and lacing overall. Aromas are a bit lemony, some lime and gentle salt. Crisp bready and straw grains and a bit of yeastiness. Some sourness hits. Initial is clean, a bit flabby with gentle tartness. Dry, a bit lactic with some mellow yeast. Earthy elements, bread. Gentle lime, faint salt element. Some touches of crisp bread, straw. Backend is dry, decent sourness and a bit mellow and underdone. Ok. Better than the base. The Margarita element gives it some life.
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
2.9Rock Bridge Margarita Spree Berliner Weisse
Cask. Very lemon limey berliner weisse, bit sweeter than I would like in this style.
Monday, August 11, 2014
3.7Rock Bridge Margarita Spree Berliner Weisse
Taster on tap at GTMW. Cask pour. Mildly hazy pale golden color. Thin white head, kind of bubbly. Leaves decent lace. Medium body. Smooth, kind of soft, lighter carbonation. Light slick finish. Satisfying full feel to it. Great lemon citrus aroma to it, mild funk. Light to moderate sweet taste, lightly tangy. Lightly tart. Light saltiness to it. Solid, full-bodied drinkable yet refreshing berliner weisse. Kind of a lemonade type flavor. Very nice.
Saturday, August 09, 2014
3.1Rock Bridge Spree Berliner Weisse
On draft at Midwest Beer Camp (Chicago, IL). Pours a watery champagne glowing hue, nice haziness. A bit dull with some decent hazy murk. Aromas are a bit subtle, some bready malts, gentle straw and a subtle lactic acidity. Faint citrus, green melon and white grape. Initial is a bit thin, watery with touches of tartness. Lots of green melon, subtle white grape. A bit bland and underdone. Some nice green melon, white grape flavors but a touch metallic, lacking the sour get up and development it should be at. Ok.
Friday, August 01, 2014
3.7Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Can, courtesy of Keir
Cloudy light amber color with small compact head. Nice aroma, the malt has a straws accent, some cereals and toffee, and mild resiny/fruity hops. Lean mouthfeel; delicate malt flavor, with a touch of caramel and toffee, very good choice for an IPA; strong hopping; there are good hop qualities (some resins and some fruits), although it may have suffered a bit (unfortunately the can doesnt seem to be dated).
Very pleasant one.
Thursday, July 17, 2014
3.3Rock Bridge Saison
Can sampled at RBSG. From notes. Caramel, yeast and some tart funk. Pretty good.
Sunday, July 13, 2014
3.1Rock Bridge Saison
16 oz can shared by DrSilverworm. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma and flavor have some spices, hay, mild fruit character, light funk, some earthy bitterness, not very dynamic, pretty basic saison.
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
3Rock Bridge Saison
16oz can, from Lukas Liquor in Missouri. Hazy orange amber color. Fizzy off-white head. Loose splotches of lace. Medium body. Soft, kind of effervescent carbonation. More dry finish. Big herbal character, kind of spicy. Bigger spicy, moderate bitter, light sweet. Eh.. Not crazy about this one. A bit too much of a bitter spicy bite for a 5.5% saison. Calms down a bit though after sitting and swishing.
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
3.1Rock Bridge Saison
16 oz can to snifter (shared by DrSilverworm). Looks solid; a hazy apricot with foamy eggshell head. Smells semi-sweet and yeasty. Tastes like it smells with a touch of what seems to be orange. Solid on the palate. A decent no-frills saison.
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
3.6Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Draft @ Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar, St Louis, MO. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a white head. Has a fruity malty grapefruit hoppy aroma. Fruity malty piney hoppy bitter spicy flavor. Has a fruity malty piney hoppy bitter finish.
Monday, June 30, 2014
3.6Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Draft on tap at Bridge (St. Louis, MO). Pours a glowing gently hazed orange hue, nice frothy whitish head atop dies to a mellow film, subtle lacing and stick around. A bit of fiery copper and orange glow pervades the body. Aromas are fairly hoppy, given some fruit and citrus life. Grapefruit rind and touches of orange juice meet florals, gentle bready malt. Initial is lighter end of the fold, some nice potent hop zip up front shows florals, firm bitterness with pithy grapefruit and juice. Touches of bitter earth meet bready malts, faint biscuit and gentle rye malt. A gentle spiciness, earthy hops into the backend. Cleaner and approachable body, nice hop profile overall with a gentle kiss of fruitiness. Finish is bitter, a bit soapy and grapefruit driven. Some florals, gentle rye hang on. Nice. Pretty surprised this clocks in at 7%
Monday, June 23, 2014
3.4Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Pour is a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma is decently hopped with a spicy rye malt in the backround. Flavor is a decent helping of the rye with an equally nice hoppy backbone. Finish leaves a nice hop resin and rye on the tongue as this goes down.I dont think this would win any awards against some other rye IPAs but this one is right up there.
Saturday, June 21, 2014
3.9Rock Bridge Rye You Lil Punk
Sampled from he tap at the Bridge. Pours a clear light orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has lots of rye and earthy pine with a touch of grass. Flavor has bitter pine and a hint of onion and a nice rye bite backing.

You took a bunch of great photos with your camera. But when you uploaded them to Google Photos, you realized you forgot to correct the time zone after your last trip. So now you're stuck with a disorganized photo library, and the thought of changing each time stamp individually makes your head hurt.
Thankfully, adjusting the time or date for a range of photos is now fast, easy, and intuitive.
On photos.google.com, just select the group of photos you'd like to adjust and click "Edit date & time" in the menu dropdown. You'll be able to shift or set the time stamps, and preview the changes before saving.
In addition, you can now delete photos directly from an album – just select photos and click "Move to trash" in the menu dropdown.
These updates are rolling out now on photos.google.com.
Sometimes it takes multiple edits to get a photo just right – or you change your mind and decide the original was perfect just the way it was.
With today's update for Android, editing is now fully reversible and non-destructive. So you can save your edits or save a new copy of the photo – either way, the original photo will remain untouched.
This update (v1.17) is rolling out now in the Play Store: goo.gl/55OnIr

Moderate Advancement
In 2014, Gabon made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government ratified UN CRC Optional Protocol on a Communications Procedure, which allows children to bring complaints to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child when their rights have been violated. The Government also completed a Rapid Situational Analysis on Child Domestic Work which includes a proposal to address gaps in social services, and launched a program to provide birth certificates to 20,000 Gabonese citizens with birth certificates. However, children in Gabon are engaged in child labor, including in domestic work and street vending. The Government continues to delay the development of a list of hazardous occupations prohibited for children under age 18 and has yet to conduct a proposed study on children trafficked into domestic work.
Children in Gabon are engaged in child labor, including in domestic work and street vending.(1-6) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in Gabon. Data on some of these indicators are not available from the sources used in this report.
Table 1. Statistics on Children's Work and Education
Working children, ages 5 to 14 (% and population):
22.3 (83,073)

Source for all other data: Understanding Children's Work Project's analysis of statistics from Deuxième Enquête Démographique et de Santé au Gabon (EDSG-II) Survey, 2012.(8)
Based on a review of available information, Table 2 provides an overview of children's work by sector and activity.
Table 2. Overview of Children's Work by Sector and Activity
Fishing,* including the production and sale of smoked fish (4, 9, 10)
Raising livestock,* activities unknown (9)
Farming,* activities unknown (9)
Working in brick factories* (4)
Street vending, including cleaning market spaces at night* and carrying heavy loads (1-4, 10)
Garbage scavenging*(4)
Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Forced labor in markets or restaurants,* mining,* farming,* fishing,* domestic work,* and as mechanics,* each sometimes as a result of human trafficking* (11, 13)
Commercial sexual exploitation* sometimes as a result of human trafficking (2, 4, 9, 11)
* Evidence of this activity is limited and/or extent of the problem is unknown.
‡ Child labor understood as the worst forms of child labor per se under Article 3(a)–(c) of ILO C. 182
Gabon is primarily a destination and transit country for children from other countries in Central and West Africa who are the victims of child trafficking.(2, 5, 11, 13-15) Boys in Gabon are forced to work as street vendors or mechanics, while girls are forced into commercial sexual exploitation, domestic work, and work in restaurants.(5, 9, 11, 13) There is limited evidence of child trafficking occurring within Gabon as well.(3, 13, 16) In 2011, the Government made plans to undertake a survey on human trafficking. The survey was intended to include human trafficking routes and areas in which forced labor involving children was practiced. However, due to the lack of resources, the survey has yet to be conducted.(10, 16, 17)
According to the Constitution, education is free and compulsory until age 16, but in practice, students were often required to pay for supplies and school fees which may be prohibitive.(9, 18-20) The country also suffers from a shortage of schools and teachers, particularly in rural areas, and the school year has occasionally been disrupted by prolonged strikes.(18, 21-23) Reports suggest that some children, especially girls, are pressured by teachers to have sex in exchange for good grades.(24) The lack of schools and teachers, safe learning environments, and associated costs might increase the likelihood that children will enter into the worst forms of child labor.
Gabon has ratified all key international conventions concerning child labor (Table 3).
Table 3. Ratification of International Conventions on Child Labor
ILO C. 138, Minimum Age
ILO C. 182, Worst Forms of Child Labor
UN CRC Optional Protocol on Armed Conflict
UN CRC Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography
Palermo Protocol on Trafficking in Persons
On April 14, 2014, the Government ratified UN CRC Optional Protocol on a Communications Procedure, which allows children to bring complaints to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child when their rights have been violated. Gabon is the only African country to ratify this optional protocol.(25-27)
The Government has established laws and regulations related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 4).

Article 177 of the Labor Code; Article 2 of Decree N° 0651/PR/MTEPS Establishing Individual Exceptions to the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment (28-31)

Free Public Education
Article 1 of the Constitution; Article 2 of Act N° 21/2011 (19, 20)
Article 177 of the Labor Code prohibits children under the age of 18 from being employed in work considered as the worst form of child labor, but this does not apply to children without a formal employment contract.(30, 38) Additionally, the Labor Code does not comprehensively prohibit the categorical worst forms of child labor as described in ILO C.182, nor does it explicitly prohibit the use, procuring, or offering of a child for illicit activities. Existing legislation is not specific enough to facilitate enforcement.(6, 29) According to Article 177 of the Labor Code, the Ministries of Labor and Health, in consultation with employers and workers' organizations, are responsible for drafting a list of hazardous occupations and activities prohibited for children and setting the age limit to which the prohibition applies. However, these ministries have not begun this task and the hazardous work list has not been updated since 1962.(6, 29, 32)
In addition to the prohibitions against hazardous work, Article 178 of the Labor Code permits labor inspectors to require health exams for anyone under age 21 who may be asked to perform work that is considered "high risk" to their health. However, the Labor Code does not specify the types of work that are considered "high risk."(29) Additionally, Article 2 of Decree N° 0651/PR/MTEPS Establishing Individual Exceptions to the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment permits children under age 16 to perform light work with parental permission. However, it does not set a minimum age for light work or include a list specifying the kinds of light work allowed.(31) The ILO Committee of Experts has also expressed concern over this gap in the law.(38)
The Government has established institutional mechanisms for the enforcement of laws and regulations on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 5).
Table 5. Agencies Responsible for Child Labor Law Enforcement
Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Professional Training (MLEPT)
Receive, investigate, and address child labor complaints through its inspectors.(4) Maintain a free helpline for victims of child trafficking that provides monitoring, counseling, and information services. Oversees the procedure for returning victims of child trafficking and exploitation to their families.(13, 17, 39) Refer cases of child trafficking to the Ministry of the Interior's Police Force.(10)
Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MHSW)
Provide social services and assistance to vulnerable children; assist in repatriation or resettlement processes for victims of child trafficking; operate shelters for victims of child trafficking.(10)
Ministry of the Interior's Police Force
Investigate child labor law violations and refer cases to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution.(4, 40)
Ministry of Justice
Enforce child labor laws by prosecuting child labor complaints.(4, 9) Assist in supporting victims of child trafficking while prosecutors and investigators prepare their case.(10)
Local Vigilance Committees
Monitor potential cases of child exploitation and human trafficking at the local level. Identify and intercept children at risk of becoming victims of child trafficking and coordinate assistance to children in need.(13, 17, 34, 40-42)
Law enforcement agencies in Gabon took actions to combat child labor, including its worst forms. However, the president re-organized his cabinet in January and October 2014, initiating significant changes to the ministries charged with overseeing social issues, and causing possible disruption to their oversight on child labor issues.(23, 43)
Labor Law Enforcement
In 2014, one newly-hired labor inspector received training at the Regional African Center for Administration Work in Cameroon, but there was no specific training on child labor for most labor inspectors.(4) Although the government employs approximately 2,000 labor inspectors, social workers, police officials and other individuals to fight against child exploitation, the exact number of labor inspectors the Government employed is not publically available. Research indicates that the number of inspectors is sufficient in urban centers, but not in rural areas.(4, 30) Additionally, the country's heavily forested terrain in rural areas and a lack of resources such as transportation, fuel, and office supplies limits inspectors' ability to conduct investigations.(4, 13, 30)
In 2014, inspectors responded to complaints of child labor violations from NGOs, but did not proactively undertake any investigations. It is not known how many total investigations occurred, although research indicates it was insufficient to adequately enforce labor laws and the Government acknowledges more inspections are needed.(4, 30, 38) Moreover, although Article 178 of the Labor Code permits inspectors to make unannounced visits, none occurred during the reporting period.(4, 28, 29) Inspections were conducted through site visits and in languages spoken by the children being interviewed.(4) The Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Professional Training (MLEPT) referred victims of child labor violations to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MHSW) for social services, and 14 received assistance in 2014.(4)
Although inspectors can suggest penalties, they do not have the authority to assess penalties.(4) Additionally, the number of calls made to the child protection hotline that were related to child labor is unknown.
Criminal Law Enforcement
In 2014, investigators did not receive any specific training on child labor and the exact number of investigators is unknown.(4) Like labor inspectors, the number of investigators in rural areas is insufficient and inspectors lack resources for conducting investigations such as transportation and fuel.(4) However, the Government has reportedly stopped penalizing victims of exploitative child labor and does not treat them as criminals or try them as adults. There were at least 16 investigations into cases of human trafficking, and one prosecution. However, the defendant fled the trial and has not yet been recaptured.(4, 10, 44)
The MHSW referred victims of child trafficking to Government-run or NGO-run shelters for care and assistance. The MHSW provided assistance to at least 14 victims of child trafficking in 2014 and assisted in the repatriation of 12 of these children.(10) The Government did not provide any publically available information on the total number of investigations conducted, prosecutions, convictions or penalties assessed during the reporting period.
The Government has established a mechanism to coordinate its efforts to address child labor, including its worst forms (Table 6).
Table 6. Mechanisms to Coordinate Government Efforts on Child Labor
Coordinating Body
Role & Description
Inter-ministerial Committee for the Fight Against Child Trafficking (IMC)
Coordinate national efforts against child trafficking and other worst forms of child labor by facilitating communication and coordinating enforcement actions among ministries. Led by the MLEPT, it includes the Ministry of Human Rights; Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Interior; MHSW; law enforcement agencies charged with the protection of minors; and local NGOs.(4, 10) Maintains provincial offices and centers for child trafficking victims. Removes children from exploitative labor situations, provides shelter, assists victims with prosecution, and repatriates victims when necessary.(4, 10, 11, 16, 40, 45-47)
As a result of a cabinet reorganization in January 2014, the Ministry of Economy transferred leadership for the Inter-ministerial Committee for the Fight Against Child Trafficking (IMC) to the MLEPT in January 2014, which may have affected the IMC's effectiveness.(4, 10) Moreover, the IMC did not have sufficient funds to effectively coordinate efforts among ministries and was unable to fully implement its Plan of Action for 2014.(10, 11) However, the IMC continued to respond to complaints of child trafficking, refer victims to social service providers, and work with the courts to prosecute child trafficking violations.(4, 10) A lack of communication between ministries also limited the Government's ability to collect data on the prevalence of human trafficking issues.(10)
The Government of Gabon has established policies related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 7).
Table 7. Policies Related to Child Labor
2014 Action Plan of the IMC†
Aims to address the worst forms of child labor by identifying and prosecuting those who use child labor, building capacity to enforce laws against human trafficking, and increasing cooperation with embassies of source countries for child trafficking victims. Led by the IMC, assigns actions to be taken by ministries and NGOs as well as a timeline.(4, 17)
National Manual of Procedures for the Care of Child Victims of Trafficking
Establishes a series of procedures to return a victim of child trafficking to their country of origin or facilitate their integration into Gabon.(16)
Education Policy (2010-2020)*
Aims to make pre-primary education widely available, improve the quality of primary education throughout the country, and improve the quality and access to secondary education.(19)
National Youth Policy of Gabon*
Aims to establish a ministry devoted to youth and strengthen the technical and operational capacities of existing ministries dealing with youth issues. Encourage youth participation in democratic practices by creating a National Youth Council and strengthening the existing Youth Parliament.(48) Improve the lives of youth by providing more professional opportunities, fostering patriotism, and developing good citizenship.(49-51)
Establishes six priority areas in alignment with the Millennium Development Goals: (1) promote sustained and diversified growth; (2) develop good infrastructure; (3) improve economic governance; (4) consolidate democratic governance; (5) promote decentralized government; and (6) promote human and social development.(52)
* Child labor elimination and prevention strategies do not appear to have been integrated into this policy.
† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
Although the Government of Gabon has adopted the 2014 Action Plan of the IMC, research found no evidence of a general policy to address child labor.
The Government of Gabon has drafted separate agreements with Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Guinea, Togo, and Mali to combat child trafficking, but they have not been signed by both parties.(5, 18, 30, 53)
In 2014, the Government funded and participated in programs that include the goal of eliminating or preventing child labor, including its worst forms. The Government has other programs that may have an impact on child labor, including its worst forms. (Table 8)
Table 8. Social Programs to Address Child Labor
Global Action Plan on Child Labor Issues Project (2011-2016)
$15 million USDOL-funded 6-year project implemented by the ILO in approximately 40 countries to support the priorities of the Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor by 2016 established by the Hague Global Child Labor Conference in 2010. Aims to strengthen legal protections and social service delivery for child domestic workers in Gabon.(54) In 2014, completed a Rapid situational Analysis on Child Domestic Work including a proposal assessing and addressing gaps in social services.(54)
Gabon Emergent Strategic Plan (2011-2016)‡
Government program that outlines President Ali Bongo Ondimba's vision for the country's development, which includes a component on improving work conditions and eliminating child labor.(55, 56)
Shelters for Children in Need‡
Shelters operated by the Government and civil society organizations supported by UNICEF that provide victims of child labor, child trafficking, and orphans and other vulnerable children with health care, education, financial support, psycho-social support, and reintegration services.(4, 10, 13, 40, 47, 57, 58)
Repatriation Programs‡
Overseen by the IMC. Resettles children in their country of origin when possible or provides resettlement assistance in Gabon if repatriation is not possible.(10, 11, 59) If the country of origin is unable to provide financial restitution or support for victims of child trafficking, the Government of Gabon absorbs these costs.(10)
Birth Certificate Program†‡
Ministry of Interior and MHSW program to provide 20,000 Gabonese citizens with birth certificates.(10, 44)
Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance Program‡
Government program to provide anti-trafficking in persons training to Gabonese peacekeepers as part of their preparation for deployment to the UN Support Mission for the Central African Republic. This program was reactivated in 2014 and provided training to approximately 450 peacekeepers.(10, 44)
Decent Work Country Program (2013-2016)*
Promotes decent work conditions with a focus on creating job opportunities for youth and promoting social protection.(60)
* The impact of this program on child labor does not appear to have been studied.
‡ Program is funded by the Government of Gabon.
Although Gabon has programs that target child labor, the scope of these programs is insufficient to fully address the extent of the problem. The Government continued to support existing programs related to child labor in 2014, but reduced funding for these programs as well as the IMC.(4, 10)
Based on the reporting above, suggested actions are identified that would advance the elimination of child labor, including its worst forms, in Gabon. (Table 9)
Table 9. Suggested Government Actions to Eliminate Child Labor, Including its Worst Forms
Suggested Action
Year(s) Suggested
Legal Framework
Ensure hazardous occupations and/or activities prohibited for children are specific enough to facilitate enforcement. Ensure that the legal framework prohibits the use of children in illicit activities and in hazardous occupations for children in all relevant sectors in Gabon.
Ensure that laws specify the types of work that are considered "light work" and set a minimum age for light work no younger than 13.
Strengthen enforcement of child labor laws by:
Make statistics regarding the enforcement of child labor laws publically available, including the number of inspections, prosecutions, violations and citations/penalties assessed and disaggregate the number of complaints related to child labor that are made to the child protection hotline.
Ensure the Inter-ministerial Committee for the Fight Against Child Trafficking has sufficient funds to carry out its mandate, including improving communication and coordination among ministries.
Government Policies
Integrate child labor elimination and prevention strategies into the Education Policy, National Youth Policy of Gabon, and UNDAF.
Sign agreements with origin countries to combat child trafficking.
Social Programs
Conduct research to determine the specific activities carried out by children working in agriculture and the informal sector to inform policies and programs.
Ensure children have access to education by eliminating school fees, increasing the number of teachers and schools in rural areas, and ensuring schools are free from sexual abuse.
Carry out the proposed survey on child trafficking.
Assess the impact that existing programs may have on child labor.
Expand existing programs to address the scope of the child labor problem.

Cal-Hi Sports Bay Area
Each year we at Cal-Hi Sports Bay Area have the pleasure of teaming up with the San Jose Sports Authority as they hand out their REACH Scholarships to athletes who've overcome adversity in their high school careers and continue to excel on the field. We at Cal-Hi have a small part in this event as we get to produce the winning essays into a video story which airs on our show and at the REACH banquet. One scholarship winner caught my attention and I chose to film and produce his story. Please meet Jonathan Purcell.
Bellarmine High School produces many high level athletic teams and their golf team is no different. Jonathan Purcell is the Captain of the Bells' golf team and is swinging the club well this season. Purcell looks like any average high school senior, but he's lucky to be alive right now.
Just before his Sophomore year, the Purcell family were told by doctors that Jonathan had a brain tumor in his Cerebellum. John always had migraines and headaches growing up and after taking an MRI to make sure everything was normal, the bomb was dropped on the Purcells.
Three months later, Jonathan drove up to UCSF for his brain surgery. John laid down on the operating table unsure of what the rest of his life would be like when he woke up. But after an 8 hour surgery, the operation was deemed a success and the long road back to health was ahead.
Over 46 physical therapy appointments, Jonathan first learned how to walk, how to hold a club, then how to putt again one week after walking. Purcell recovered at a rapid pace, something he say golf helped with immensely because of the focus on balance and stability. Jonathan would work up to putting, then to chipping, then to driving, then playing a few holes, then playing a round. Every step of recovery revolved around how he was going to get back on the course.
Now, 2 and a half years later, Jonathan Purcell is a healthy young man. Doctors have told him he's 96-to-98 percent cured, which he'll take. Off to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo next year, Purcell hopes to tee it up for the Mustangs and then if all breaks well, start his journey to the PGA. But no matter where he ends up, Jonathan Purcell will just be happy to be there, and alive, and well.

ULC Libraries: Getting to the Evidence
October 5 - 7, 2016
Kansas City Marriott Downtown
200 West 12th Street
Kansas City, MO 64105
Urban libraries, like results-oriented organizations in all sectors, need the right language and data to understand and ensure that our work is meeting the goals we've set for ourselves. This year's ULC Annual Forum will focus on exploring and developing a framework that we can all use to describe the outcomes and impacts that we create for the individuals and communities we serve — both at the local and national level.
Join ULC Members and engage in peer-to-peer conversations about implementing and improving measurement practices that will lead to better evidence collection and data sharing. ULC library executives are encouraged to bring key members of their library leadership and management staff.
And thank you to the 2016 ULC Annual Forum hosts:
We look forward to seeing you in October!

The Zagat Review
David Chang rolls out "dinner and a show" at this pioneering East Village "culinary adventure" offering a "memorable" tasting menu of Asian-inflected Americana at an "intimate", 23-seat chef's counter; a recent move to "bigger", "more relaxing" digs – the barstools now have backs! – makes the "splurge"-worthy prix fixe tab more palatable, though it's still as "hard to get into" as ever.
Zagat reviews are compiled from individual user reviews. Write your review.Write your review.
What To Order
Insider Tip
If you want to go big, go at lunch (offered Friday-Sunday only) when the tasting menu includes about six more dishes for a total of 16.

text: 000 FXUS63 KABR 292048 AFDABR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 348 PM CDT THU SEP 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 347 PM CDT THU SEP 29 2016 Not much going on in the short term with high pressure to the east and a broad area of low pressure to the west resulting in southerly flow and some gustiness with about a 12mb gradient across the state. This gradient will persist across the area, with the core of strongest winds gradually migrating from west river into an area between the James and Missouri valleys over the course of the short term. The warmest temperatures aloft don`t come in to the area till late in the short term, so a slow steady increasing trend is depicted in highs/lows through the next 3 days. Only going to see some mid level moisture come into the western CWA Friday afternoon but with only around 5 microbars of lift above 500mb and little moisture below 10 to 12kft, anticipate little other than some virga showers. This band of moisture will also migrate across the CWA through the course of the short term. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 347 PM CDT THU SEP 29 2016 The long term models agree well early on and then diverge through the end of the period. The period begins with high pressure over the region with a large upper level low pressure area moving into the west coast. This upper low pressure area then drops into the southwest US and then northeast into the central and northern plains for Tuesday and Wednesday. Before this occurs, warm south winds will prevail across the region Sunday and Monday bringing mostly sunny skies along with above normal early October temperatures. In fact, Monday may end up being even warmer than forecast with more 80 degree readings across the region. May have to increase these in later forecasts. Otherwise, the models all disagree on the evolution of the southwest US upper level low pressure area and its associated surface low pressure area for the middle of the week as they move into the region. The GFS shows the surface low pressure area well south over southern Nebraska on 12z Wednesday with the Canadian placing the low pressure area along the Canadian border. The EC was in between with the low located in northeast South Dakota. Nevertheless, anyone of the solutions will bring us off and on good chances of showers/storms for Monday night through Wednesday night. As the models come into better agreement, the forecast will become more into focus. The temperatures will cool down into Wednesday and Thursday as Canadian air moves in on northwest winds. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon) Issued at 1242 PM CDT THU SEP 29 2016 Vfr conditions are expected at all locations through tonight and Friday. Breezy southeast winds at 15 to 25 knots are expected at PIR and MBG into the early evening. && .ABR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Connelly LONG TERM...Mohr AVIATION...Mohr

Yes, a lot of work went in, but ultimately, all of the *significant* genetic material came from two parents. Passing on your mitochondrial DNA doesn't do anything to really shape your offspring (unless your mitochondrial DNA is just *really* messed up). Now if the donor egg somehow had defective Mitocondrial DNA, ok, this is at least somewhat useful.
But pretending this offspring has three equally biological parents is disingenuous.

I was a volunteer for the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness Website for Oklahoma City cemeteries hosted by Rootsweb.com. I was blessed with all that volunteers from that site helped me with.
I love genealogy and my dream job would be to work with Ancestry.com in documention preservaton.
In March 2013 I helped host a Felts Family Reunion in Americus, Georgia. It was for the descendants of George G. Felts and Cinthia Lucretia Blackshear.
On 20 October 2013, several cousins - Shawn Pearson, Dana Pearson, Carlton Kite and his fraternity brothers, Alan Anderson (Sumter County, Georgia historian) and myself located and helped clean the Blackshear Family Cemetery that had not been cleaned in probably 3 to 4 decades.

Renee, I didn't post either of the pictures now on his memorial, so I can't remove them. I have no control over the photos added. You can post the one you have in addition to the others. I think then it would be the top picture on the page.

Thank you so much for providing these photos of my great-grandparents & little great granduncle! I had been waiting for so long for them, I'd decided that they were unmarked. That cemetery is several hundred miles from me, & due to illnesses and deaths in my family, I've been unable to make the trip there to see for myself. Now their memorial is complete. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks again,

Hello Renee,
Could you please add the following to your listing for Elbert O. Ansley please?
He died in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia of Gastroenteritis after being a prisoner of War. He was captured in Savannah on Dec. 21, 1864 and died in the hospital there May 10, 1865. His body is supposedly interred in Laurel Grove Cemetery Savannah in the Confederate section lot #1465, Grave #2. This is documented in copies of his civil war file.
Elbert was my first cousin (several times removed). Thanks.

Science Cafe — Science and Religion: Angels and Demons?
This installment of the Science Cafe discussion series has a very provocative topic, Science and Religion: Angels and Demons? Speaker Dr. Henry Strobel, PhD (hang on for this; he's got a l-o-n-g title), Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs, and Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the Medical School, UT Health Science Center at Houston (whew!); and Dr. Jeffrey Jackson, PhD (slightly shorter title here, guys), Associate Professor of Philosophy and Interim Chair of the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown, will discuss two age-old questions: How are we here? Why are we here? (Wouldn't it be a kick if the answer to both questions were the same?) The Science Cafe, presented by the Rice University-Texas Medical Center Chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, hosts brainiac guests who discuss heady topics in a relaxed setting.

A Generic Framework for Optimal Mobile Sensor Redeployment
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used for various applications. In some applications, it is very likely that the number of sensors is limited, the initial deployment is random, and deployment "Holes" (i.e., subareas where there is no sensor) may exist. Therefore, a major challenge in WSNs is to improve the network coverage. A viable solution is to enhance some sensors with mobility capability so that they can move inside the WSNs after the initial deployment, which is referred to as mobile sensor redeployment. In this paper, the authors target at a generic framework for the optimal mobile sensor redeployment problem in WSNs.

Unprofessional Fridays: 09/23/2016
Become Premium to Watch
ReCore starts with an intriguing world and a great mix of platforming and RPG elements, but it all falls apart well before the end.
Drifting over the polygonal landscape looking for crystals is still a peaceful good time, if you can overlook a few flaws.
It's light years from being a great game, but there's still something at the heart of No Man's Sky that speaks to the would-be explorer in all of us.
Game »
consists of 2 releases.
Released Apr 12, 2004
A creature with characteristics of both a human and an arachnid, most often a spider or scorpion.
In these games, there is an actual number or meter on-screen that shows how much armor the player has. Rather than being treated like equipment or a power-up, this armor serves more as a secondary health pool.
Body armor in games acts as additional protection. In most cases, when a player takes damage that would completely affect their health, their body armor reduces the damage taken or takes the damage instead.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
An enemy that uses a spell or a skill to multiply and add another enemy to fight
Sometimes, enemies will explode (usually when shot at) and will cause damage to the player.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in First-Person Shooters and Racing Games, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs and 3D Platformers.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Games with language selection allow the player to choose which language is displayed or spoken in the game.
The concept of lives in video games evolved to let the player get a second chance after failing once. The most recognizable symbol is the heart.
Veteran cannon fodder that have made appearances in more than one game, often with a small cosmetic change each time.
Some games focused on bloody battle can become rather tedious when you get surrounded by people that yell and curse ceaselessly.

The best pan ever!!!
A+++ This pan cooks so nice, easy to clean. I use no oil, and I want more pans like so I am buying more. I was worried because I was unfamiliar with anolon technology, but now I'm sold. The pan heats evenly, and is much better than expensive stainless pans I hate. Definately worth it.
