Speedy deletion nomination of BG-ED3[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on BG-ED3 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding
{{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Gavin.perch (talk) 11:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Aztecing[edit]
Hello, Ace Frahm. I wanted to let you know that I'm proposing an article that you started, Aztecing, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 23:19, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about Aztecing[edit]
Hello, Ace Frahm,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Aztecing should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aztecing .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 12:50, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of View from Nowhere[edit]
The article View from Nowhere has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Neologism with no real noteworthiness. One philosopher uses the term in a different context which was borrowed by one political professor and not widely adopted.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the
{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing
{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Thargor Orlando (talk) 15:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your input.

This book is about the geology of central Italy. The Professor writes well - entertaining while he educates - explaining in the beginning the basics of geology and what started him on his study of the Apennines. I really liked the book although I did get annoyed at what seemed to me to be overuse of certain phrases and, more significantly, the really poor quality of the photographs. Overall though, well worth reading.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Bad Boy Records CEO Diddy treated his son to another Maybach luxury vehicle for his 17th birthday just a year after shocking fans with a $360,000 ride.
According to Diddy, Justin's achievements in school also earned him another Maybach to add to his collection.
The 41-year-old rapper – who raises six children – bought his son Justin the Maybach car for his birthday after achieving high grades at school, and hopes he will use it to impress girls. He said: "Justin has turned himself around and is now an Honors student, which he wasn't before, so I wanted to treat him. It's a collector's car so maybe he will use it for special occasions like on a first date, but like all my kids, he prefers the simpler things than the expensive things. Simple tastes." (Independent)
Last summer, while talking on ABC's "Nightline," Diddy defended his past $360,000 Maybach purchase for Justin Dior Combs.
"I think it's appropriate to give my kids whatever I want to give my kids," he told Martin Bashir. "I feel the way I raise my children, I don't have to explain to you or anyone else, 'cause nobody knows the way I raise my children…Nobody knows the lessons that I've taught my children to understand, if they are mentally ready for that," he said. "It wasn't even about a lesson; it's what I wanted to do. I could do whatever I want to do and you can't question me about it." (New York Daily News)
Justin's last birthday celebration included a variety of celebrities.
Talk about a sweet 16. For his 16th birthday, Diddy gave his son Justin Dior Combs a brand-new silver Maybach (price tag: $360,000). The teen received the wheels at a lavish bash Saturday night at M2 Ultralounge club in NYC. (Among the guests: Jersey Shore stars Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and rapper Lil' Kim.) Diddy, 40, also gave his son a $10,000 check to open a bank account. (For the record, Justin is donating it all to Haiti relief.) "I'm just ecstatic right now," Justin told UsMagazine.com at his party, which will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV's My Super Sweet 16. "Words can't even describe how I feel. I'm so blessed and thankful for all of this." (US Magazine)
In a past interview promoting the 2010 film Get Him to the Greek, Diddy talked about creating a more mature image of himself.
"I think this role will definitely be a revelation to people," Diddy said referring to his role as a record label executive in the film. "People have this perception of me – which is my fault – of maybe a rapper or Champagne-sipping and Hamptons and white fur and just cliche type of things that are just kind of old and dated and corny, which isn't how I am today, you know? That was just part of my image for a second. It wasn't who Sean is. You evolve – like, I need to retire my diamond necklace and fur jacket now. Things change. Times change." (Kansas City)
Justin Combs was reportedly born December 30th, 1993.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kapyong Barracks site can become an inspired, modern neighbourhood
Marching to the city's heartbeat
Winnipeg doesn't have Vancouver's majestic seawall or Calgary's mountain backdrop. It doesn't have a Maritime harbour or a hulking, big-city skyline.
Winnipeg is flat and remote and often way too cold.
In a city like ours, not blessed with any natural advantages, it is vital to nurture the qualities that make Winnipeg unique and work to enhance development that has already been done successfully. Too often, we fail to recognize and build from our strengths while allowing our successes to be eroded through short-sighted development.
An important example is the Exchange District, a neighbourhood that defines Winnipeg's urban character and is one of the most important turn-of-the-century commercial areas in North America. It has been passed down to us through an anomaly of good fortune, but instead of cherishing and protecting this valuable urban asset, the area routinely finds a place on Heritage Canada's Top 10 Endangered Places List. It continues to lose buildings such as the Shanghai Restaurant, the Grain Exchange Annex and many others to make way for parking or empty lots. This is slowly eroding the area's cohesive character, reducing its allure as a catalyst for growth.
Across downtown, the density and character of Osborne Village stands as one of the few truly urban experiences in our city. The area was recently voted the Best Neighbourhood in Canada by The Canadian Institute of Planners. At its southern end, Osborne Street again becomes a unique urban strip, forming the heart of the Riverview/Lord Roberts neighbourhoods. In 2007, the vacant rail land that divided these two dynamic areas became available for development. Instead of capitalizing on existing success by extending the street's pedestrian-oriented, urban character, what occurred was a sprawling, suburban-style office building set in a sea of parking that envelops a gas station and fast-food restaurant. The opportunity to enhance, connect and expand two unique Winnipeg neighbourhoods was lost.
These are only two of many examples in Winnipeg's development history that demonstrate the importance of learning from and building on our city's successful urban qualities as it grows. These lessons will be particularly important for a large-scale, urban infill opportunity that has long loomed on the horizon.
Currently stalled in a high-profile legal battle between the federal government and four Manitoba First Nations, the Kapyong Barracks site holds the potential to become a model infill neighbourhood that sets the highest standards for design, sustainable growth and economic opportunity.
One of Winnipeg's greatest assets is its magnificent, tree-lined residential neighbourhoods. Wedged between Tuxedo and River Heights, Kapyong presents an opportunity to build on the success of these communities, connecting, enhancing and growing from them.
The redevelopment of abandoned military barracks is not unique in Canada, and there are many extremely successful precedents from which the Kapyong developers should be able to learn.
CFB Calgary began redevelopment in 1998 with a neighbourhood called Garrison Woods. The site has been transformed into one of the most desirable areas of the city. All three phases have been designed to encourage pedestrian circulation through "new urbanist" planning principles of traditional grid-pattern streets with sidewalks, back lanes, close-set houses and tree-lined boulevards.
Big-box retail developments have been rejected in favour of walkable, centrally located retail streets with smaller-scale coffee shops, corner stores, offices and restaurants. Most residents live within a five-minute walk of a park, transit stop and mixed-use commercial street. The residential neighbourhoods are characterized by mixed-density development of single-family, townhouse and apartment buildings, with existing military housing refurbished and relocated as an affordable option.
The Village at Griesbach, being constructed on the former lands of CFB Edmonton, is an example of how environmental sustainability can be incorporated as a forward-looking feature of the Kapyong development. Receiving a LEED Gold certification from the Canadian Green Building Council, the Griesbach master plan preserves existing trees, refurbishes existing buildings, recycles demolished materials and incorporates energy-efficient housing.
Possibly the most appropriate precedent for Kapyong is CFB Rockcliffe in Ottawa. Just beginning the design phase, this development was also stalled by a First Nations land claim to the site. After many years of negotiation, the developers (Canada Lands Company) resolved to work together with the Algonquin people through all stages of development to ensure it embraces their cultural, spiritual and ecological sensitivities. A financial settlement will be invested into the project by the First Nations people and qualified Algonquin companies will be used during construction.
Similar to Kapyong, Rockliffe is surrounded by existing residential communities. The design focus will be to integrate a contemporary neighbourhood into these areas by establishing connections to surrounding streets, bike paths, transit routes, green space and commercial centres.
The development will look to increase vibrancy by deviating from the homogeneity of many modern suburbs, accommodating a diverse social, economic and cultural demographic by offering a range of housing, employment and commercial opportunities within the community.
These examples of urban military land redevelopment across Canada show what is achievable at Kapyong Barracks through sensitive planning with a socially responsible mandate. Wonderful residential neighbourhoods are what define Winnipeg. They are this city's mountain backdrop, our Maritime harbour and our seawall. New, uninspired suburban development, typical of every Canadian city, has eroded Winnipeg's unique residential character.
The developers of Kapyong, regardless of who they are, will hold a special responsibility to all Winnipeggers to create a modern, mixed-use commercial and residential neighbourhood that recalls the spirit, character and tradition of Winnipeg's great communities, serving as an example of how we can build on past success to create a modern, dense, beautiful and sustainable city of the future.

About this title: "Cremaster 3," the last in Matthew Barney's epic five-part film project, is part zombie, part gangster film. Set in 1930s New York and Saratoga Springs as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the plot explores the Irish mob system, freemasonry, and Celtic lore as further symbols for the forces at play in Barney's mythological system. Named after the muscle that raises or lowers a man's testicles in response to temperature, the "Cremaster" series has featured Barney as a satyr, a magician, a ram, Harry Houdini, and ...

This shampoo is horrible, the worst I have tried. It turned my hair into one big clumpy knot. I can't even explain it. My hair felt like it was all melted together in one huge knot. I couldn't comb through this mess. And I used a very moisturizing good quality conditioner afterwards. I air dried my hair and got most of the clumps out but some of the knots I had to cut out there was no other way. I am so mad. This stuff literally destroys your hair. Oh, and after my hair was dry I looked like I got hit by lightening. My hair was all static and stuck out in this crazy way in all directions. This stuff also smells horrible. Never again.
i wasn't able to repurchase pureology purify after running out due to the price so i picked this up. i use it once a week and it keeps my scalp from being heavy with the millions of hair products i use. i am not crazy about the smell but the quality is wonderful for the price.

I have a really oily scalp but my hair is dry like no other. I was hoping the clarifying shampoo would help me by controlling the oil but it did the exact opposite. It make my hair even drier- which I didn't think it was possible- and the oil was still there!
The smell is obnoxious, it doesn't smell nice at all; if anything, it smells like toilet bowl cleaner.
I was really disappointed by this shampoo. To put it out there, I hate almost every body product that neutrogena has to offer. Their face products are great but the body products are the only downfalls.
This does what it claims to do, but there's nothing special about the ingredients, therefore I find this shampoo to be way overpriced. Suave clarifying does the same job for a fraction of the cost.
The best clarifying shampoo in my opinion. I have thick oily hair, and this doesn't dry out my hair or irritated my scalp one bit. I've used other clarifying shampoos like Pantene(irritated my scalp), Herbal Essence(irritated my scalp like no other and is the worst), and Kenra(dried out my hair). The smell of this shampoo is very similar to Aveda's Shampure Shampoo and Conditioner a very powerful smell that lingers but I don't mind it at all!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this about once a week to clean up all the residue shampoos and conditioners leave on my hair. I love the scent and I won't buy any other clarifying shampoo.
The shampoo inside is clear, not yellow like the picture above. It does smell like a very, very clean public restroom like another reviewer said. It does smell a very tad bit masculine but I would have not thought that if I hadn't read the other reviews. I used my roommate's Biosilk conditioner afterward (usually use Pantene shampoo, no conditioner) to counteract its drying effects. Biosilk is also strong smelling but I could still smell it after that. It smells coconuty the next day. It makes my shampoo/occasional conditioning much more effective. I kind of want to put more products in my hair just to use this shampoo!
Stinky like chemicals, but effective. I don't want to know what this would smell like without the "parfum" because it stinks enough as it is. I use this every once in a while when my hair starts feeling filmy. I use Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner 99% of the time and while I love how it makes my hair look and feel, after several months of use, it never feels clean and begins to feel greasy quickly. This is a great residue removing shampoo, though I find my hair feels a bit dry/not soft after using it. I generally wash with this at night and during a day where I have nothing planned so I don't have to try and style my hair, as the smell lingers until the next washing without it.
This works well; give it a try if you have lots of product residue in your hair. It could work really well for you.
I saw alot of good reviews about this shampoo to give it a try! And after only a first use last night..I'M ALREADY LOVING IT!!! A while ago, my hair started to not behave like it used to be. Ive tried tons of shampoo but no matter what i use or how many times i wash my hair, it always left me with a really gross-looking white, greyish film near my roots( i have black hair so its quite noticeble) so i had to wear a ponytail all the time but after using this my hair is clean again,SOOOO shiny and feels so light! i'm really glad i discovered it and its definitely a keeper!
More reviews by thebeautifuldiaries
I love this shampoo! I recently purchased it because my super thick curly hair was feeling dirty and just gunky! The shampoo removed all of the residue in my hair and with some Dove Conditioner, my hair was left feeling so soft and clean. I am also happy to see my hair looking softer and shinier than ever before. The scent can be a bit powerful but I can mask it with my other styling products. It's affordable and very efficient. Definitely recommend it to others!

As the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, I would like to share a very special video message from the Free the Slaves staffers across the globe whose work you support. They risk their safety every day to help vulnerable and exploited communities break free from the inhumanity and brutality of slavery.
They'd like to say – in their own languages - how grateful they are for the donors who make freedom possible.
As I have traveled the world with our front-line teams, I have seen the results of our programs with my own eyes — and in the eyes of slavery survivors who have reclaimed their future and dignity. Although slavery itself is devastating, ending it is truly joyous work. I have been fortunate to see firsthand the impact that freedom brings to women, children, men and entire communities.
I invite you to celebrate that freedom with us this Thanksgiving. You are the key that opens the lock. From the countless communities you have helped bring to freedom, and all of us at Free the Slaves, thank you.
New research from the group Walk Free and FTS Co-founder Kevin Bales estimates there are more people in slavery today than previously thought. The 2014 edition of the Walk Free Global Slavery Index reports that 35.8 million people are enslaved, a 23 percent increase from the team's 2013 assessment. The team attributes the sharp increase to improved research methodology, not an increase in the number of slaves.
The report, which provides a country-by-country estimate of slavery in 167 nations, was released Monday. "It is a tool for non-government organizations, businesses and public officials to understand the size of the problem, existing responses and contributing factors, so they can build sound policies that will end modern slavery," says Walk Free.
See the full report here. See the news release containing report highlights and major changes for 2014 here. See BBC news coverage of the report here.
"There is an assumption that slavery is an issue from a bygone era. Or that it only exists in countries ravaged by war and poverty," says Walk Free Chairman and Founder Andrew Forrest. "These findings show that modern slavery exists in every country. We are all responsible for the most appalling situations where modern slavery exists and the desperate misery it brings upon our fellow human beings. The first step in eradicating slavery is to measure it. And with that critical information, we must all come together – governments, businesses and civil society – to finally bring an end to the most severe form of exploitation."
The Global Slavery Index adds to the growing body of research on global slavery prevalence. Another major study conducted by the U.N. International Labor Organization in 2012 estimated that 21 million people are in slavery. The two studies employed different research methods, but taken together they confirm that slavery is a major human rights challenge affecting tens of millions worldwide.
One feature of the Global Slavery Index is a ranking of countries from worst to best based on the percentage of their population in slavery. Mauritania is the world's worst spot for slavery, according to the report. The world's lowest incidence of slavery occurs in Iceland.
Five of the six countries where Free the Slaves operates front-line anti-slavery projects are listed by the index as some of the world's worst hot spots: Haiti is number two on the global prevalence list, India is fifth, the Congo is seventh, Nepal is number 20, Ghana is 21 and Brazil is number 143. Taken together, these six FTS countries have an estimated 15.9 million people in slavery, according to the report.
Editor's Note: We thought you'd like to read a remarkable presentation by our Executive Director, Maurice Middleberg. Our thanks to St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Boca Raton, Florida for inviting Free the Slaves to spread the word about slavery today.
October 30, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Thank you so much for coming out tonight. It is a privilege to be with you.
I want to express my appreciation to Cassie Krejewski and Pam Campi for their support in making this evening's event possible. I am especially grateful to Mary and Allan Springs for all their hard work and dedication in organizing this event.
Let me start with a quick word about Free the Slaves, the organization I am privileged to serve. We were founded in 2000. Our mission is to liberate those in slavery and change the conditions that allow slavery to persist. We currently have programs in Brazil, Haiti, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nepal and India. As I will explain during this talk, we believe that the keys to fighting slavery are educating and organizing at-risk communities; strengthening laws and law enforcement; and, ensuring impoverished communities have access to basic services.
Those of us engaged in the fight against modern day slavery are inheritors of a proud tradition. The two gentlemen you now see on the screen are Elijah and Owen Lovejoy. In the period before the American Civil War the two brothers were quite famous as leaders of the abolitionist movement. Both were deeply motivated by their Christian faith to seek freedom for enslaved people. Elijah published an anti-slavery newspaper, first in Missouri and then Illinois. In 1837, Elijah was murdered by a mob for persisting in his campaign against slavery. If you go to the Newseum in Washington, D.C., you will see a portrait of Elijah, who is considered the first martyr to a free press in America.
In 1857, Owen became a member of Congress, where he agitated ceaselessly against slavery. He was active in the Underground Railroad, helping to bring slaves to freedom. He worked closely with Abraham Lincoln to form the Republican Party. When Owen died in 1863, Lincoln said, "I have lost my closest friend in Congress."
I tell you the story of these two men because we have with us tonight direct descendants of Owen and Elijah. Mary Springs is the great-great-great niece of Owen and Elijah. With Mary today are her sisters, Roberta and Fran. Mary and Roberta are also, I am proud to say, my sisters-in-law and Fran is my wife of 38 years. All three are continuing the family tradition by participating in the fight against slavery.
It is shocking that, more than 150 years later, slavery is not an historic relic. For tens of millions of people, it is the frightful, brutal reality of their lives.
Let me be clear what I mean by slavery.I don't mean lousy wages or poor working conditions or a mean boss. I mean people who are held at a workplace against their will by violence or threat for purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor so that other people can profit. We use the term slavery rather than trafficking because we want to be explicit about the conditions facing those we seek to serve.
Because slavery is a crime, it's hard to get exact estimates of how many people are in this condition. The International Labor Organization puts the figure at 21 million; a more recent estimate by the Walk Free Foundation puts the number at 30 million. There seems little dispute that tens of millions of people are trapped in slavery.
While every country in the world is afflicted to some degree by slavery, it is more prevalent in some countries than others. The majority of slaves are Asia, especially the South Asian countries of India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Sub-Saharan Africa is the other epicenter of slavery.
A quarter of those enslaved are children. The majority are women and girls. About a fifth of slavery is sexual slavery or forced prostitution. The remainder is in the private sector. Most slavery occurs in seemingly ordinary businesses – mines, farms, fishing boats, construction sites, stone quarries, brick kilns, carpet factories, and restaurants. Slavery is found wherever the products and services depend heavily on manual labor.
Those in slavery are ruthlessly exploited in hard, degrading and dangerous labor. I have seen with this my own eyes: girls and women victimized by sex trafficking; little girls used as domestic servants; little boys working on fishing boats; boys turned into child soldiers; women breaking rocks by hand in a stone quarry; men sent down primitive mine shafts in search of gold or rare minerals; and, entire families working as slaves for a loan shark over a debt that will never be paid off.
In the United States, the term trafficking almost automatically conjures images of sex trafficking. While this is a serious problem, it is important to understand that slavery manifests in many forms, all of which are versions of forcibly coercing the labor of a person for the profit of another. To fight slavery we must understand how it appears in different contexts in order to craft appropriate solutions. For that reason, all our programs begin with context-specific research so we understand how and why slavery is occurring in that setting.
What ties these different forms of slavery together is that the victims are held through force, fraud and coercion. They are not compensated for their work. They cannot leave. Their lives are plagued by extreme poverty and hardship. They live outside the redemptive powers of law, justice, mercy or common decency.
Slavery is big business. A recent report from the International Labor Organization estimates the profits from slave labor at $150 billion per year. It now ranks with drugs and arms trafficking as a major source of criminal revenue.
Pope Francis has said, "Human trafficking is an open wound on the body of contemporary society… It is a crime against humanity."
How can this be? How can the ancient curse of slavery still exist? Most importantly, what will work in the fight against slavery?
The photograph you now see is of a hamlet I visited in India. The dwellings are composed of cow dung, mud and thatch and have dirt floors. The inhabitants owned nothing more than a couple of pieces of crude, hand-made furniture. Running water and sanitation were unknown. There was no school for the children. People did not have access to health care. These low-caste Indians purportedly owed debts to the high caste landlord on whose property they lived. The landlord gave them just enough sustenance to keep working.
My Indian colleagues and I entered the village on foot. We had to hide to speak to the villagers. They told us that if the landlord or his agents saw them speaking to us without permission they would be beaten. One man said to me: "My father was a slave. I was born a slave. I don't want to be a slave anymore. I don't want my children to be slaves."
What this example tells us is that slavery springs from vulnerability. While the vast majority of slaves are found among the poor of Asia and Africa, poverty alone does not explain slavery. Rather, slavery afflicts poor people who don't have the tools to protect themselves.
Three factors are key: lack of awareness, lack of legal protection and the absence of basic services.
Lack of awareness of rights and risks is a critical vulnerability that can be addressed by educating and organizing at-risk communities like the one you see here.
For example, a common path to slavery is what is called debt bondage. People who encounter a financial crisis borrow money at an exorbitant rate. Since the debtor lacks cash to pay the loan, the lender demands that the debtor work off the loan on his farm, factory or mine. Of course, the loan can never really be paid off and the debt continues to accumulate and the borrower ends up perpetually enslaved. Worse yet, the debt becomes the responsibility of the entire the family and is inherited by the children, who are born into slavery. Part of the tragedy is the borrower doesn't actually know that he or she is the victim of a crime; he or she actually believes the lender can demand labor until he deems the debt satisfied.
Similarly, people in impoverished rural areas are desperate for work and will believe the false promises of labor traffickers. We encounter this often in Nepal, where the trafficker will go into a village and say: "There is a good job for you in the big city or Malaysia or in one of the Gulf States. Just get in the truck and let me hold on to your passport until we get there."
At Free the Slaves, we work with local grassroots organizations to educate vulnerable communities about their rights and the risks of trafficking. We use methods and messages that are appropriate to the local context. In the Congo, for example, we support the broadcasting of anti-slavery messages over a network of community radio stations. In Nepal, we work with local organizations to explain the risks of labor trafficking and how to migrate safely.
In this slide, you see Brother Xavier Plassat, who is the anti-slavery coordinator for the Pastoral Land Commission, one our partners in Brazil. Brother Xavier and the commission work with at-risk communities to educate them about the risks of labor trafficking, especially those associated with accepting offers to work in the lumber and charcoal operations in the Amazon jungle.
We work with communities to organize anti-slavery committees comprised of community members. In Nepal, they are called community vigilance committees. In Ghana, they are community child protection committees.
The photos you see here are from Ghana, where community members meet to discuss child exploitation and enslavement. The committee members are given additional training and tools so they can act as a neighborhood watch against slavery. For example, the anti-slavery committee will draw up a list of the children in the village and track their whereabouts to be sure they are not engaged in forced labor. The committees also become the bridge to the police and other authorities to help secure protection for the community.
This process of educating and organizing people is enormously powerful. It is amazing to see the transformative effect that knowledge and collective action can have on a community. It is easy to prey upon the uneducated and disorganized. But an aware and cohesive community is a bulwark upon slavery.
One man in a small village in Haiti summed it up at a community meeting I attended when he said to me, "We were in darkness and now we are in light."
A second major vulnerability leading to slavery is lack of legal protection. In part, this reflects weak laws. In Haiti, one of the most widespread forms of slavery is known as restavek, a Creole word that means "stays with." It is a perversion of an old custom, where poor families would send children to stay with wealthier relatives. In its current form, the children, most of whom are girls, become, like the girl shown here, household slaves who do the cleaning, cooking and child care. They are often sexually abused. Until very recently, there was no penalty in Haiti for keeping a child in forced domestic servitude.
The weakness of laws is often compounded by lax law enforcement. Police are often poorly trained and unaware of their own laws regarding slavery and trafficking. In other cases, corruption inhibits law enforcement.
We work with local organizations to advocate for better laws and improved law enforcement. In the case of Haiti, we helped a local coalition secure a new law that greatly increases the penalties for child slavery.
We train police and other government officials. We also train journalists to report on slavery, since public scrutiny makes it harder for police to turn a blind eye or collude with traffickers. In Brazil, we are supporting a group of young reporters to carry out investigative journalism focused on slavery. Brazil, to its great credit, has also established a specialized anti-slavery federal police squad.
Of course, we also work with local organizations and authorities to help liberate those in slavery. Sometimes this involves raids on work places. In other cases, emboldened communities will chase off the slaveholders and traffickers without external assistance.
Once liberated, survivors need help making the transition to a life in freedom. They are typically traumatized, often abused, almost invariably impoverished and may lack marketable skills. If they do not receive appropriate services they are, in fact, highly vulnerable to becoming re-enslaved. So it is important to help newly freed people get the services they need to reclaim their lives.
In India, for example, we support an ashram that cares for girls and women who are victims of sex trafficking, which you see here. The girls range in age from about 8 to 20. They receive medical care, counseling, schooling and vocational training. Most of all, they are in a safe, caring and supportive environment.
During my most recent trip to India I happened to be visiting the ashram at the time of a local festival. It was inspiring and amazing to the girls playing, laughing and dancing; it was an incredible testament to the human spirit.
We also provide legal services to survivors so they can pursue restitution and agitate for prosecution of perpetrators.
Vulnerable communities typically lack access to basic services, especially schools, health care and credit. Out-of-school children are particularly vulnerable to being trafficked. The absence of affordable health care will generate a financial crisis that is exploited by traffickers. People go to loan sharks in the absence of legitimate sources of credit.
Working with our local partners, Free the Slaves helps at-risk communities gain access to these essential services. In the Congo for example, we work with our partners to help villages organize savings and loan groups so they don't have to turn to loan sharks. When we can't help directly, we build relations between the communities and other organizations or government agencies that can provide schooling, health care and credit. Increasing basic household security reduces the likelihood that a family will be exploited.
So these are they keys that open the locks of slavery: educate and organize at-risk communities; liberate and support those enslaved, while prosecuting perpetrators; and; promote household security through basic services.
We know this approach works. Last year, working with partners, Free the Slaves rescued over 3,100 people from slavery, helped almost 1,200 communities resist slavery, educated 18,500 people in villages about how to protect themselves from traffickers and trained over 1,500 government officials. Our efforts led to legal action against 105 slaveholders and traffickers.
Much more can be done. We can move from freeing thousands to tens and hundreds of thousands. But this will only happen if good people join the fight against slavery.
You now know the truth of slavery and how to stop it. Here is what you can do.
First, educate your families, friends and neighbors. Share the information you have acquired. Awaken those who might care. Enlist others to spread the word. There are cards available in the back of the room that will give you basic facts about slavery. More information is available on our web site, freetheslaves.net
Second, be careful consumers and investors. Remember that the products you buy or the companies in which you invest may be tainted by slavery on farms or mines or factories. Visit our website or KnowtheChain.org, which can give you information about whether companies are working keep slavery out of their products. Act on what you learn – let the companies you buy from and invest in know how you feel, either with praise for those with good practices or concern for those who don't.
Third, be an advocate for good public policies. We need stronger laws, greater investment and more transparency to fight slavery. Sign up on our web site – freetheslaves.net – and support our advocacy for anti-slavery policies.
Lastly, I ask that you please become a donor to Free the Slaves. The work of freedom is not free. We need your help. I can't afford to be coy about this. As a nonprofit organization, we depend solely on the generosity of our supporters to carry on the fight against slavery. There's more information about Free the Slaves in the lobby and envelopes in which to place donations.
These images of Owen and Elijah symbolize the many thousands of Americans who took up the cause of freedom. I hope you will add your photo to the pantheon of heroes who worked to end slavery. My most fervent wish is that when the great-grandchildren of Mary, Roberta and Fran come back to St. Joan slavery will exist only in the history books.
Let me close with the story of the village of Sakdouri. By sheer coincidence, the day after I visited the slave village I described for you, we went to a village named Sakdouri that had been liberated just one year earlier. Eighteen families – 52 people in all – had been enslaved in a brick-making factory. One of the men got word to a neighboring village that had already been liberated. They, in turn, contacted our local partner and our country director, who worked with the police to mount a raid on the factory. One year later, I met with them in a lovely new school they had built for the village children. They described what had happened in that year of freedom. The villagers were earning a living from farming, children were going to school, they were getting health care and new homes had been built. A paved road was coming to the village. Most importantly, they said: "We know what happened to us and why. We know how to protect ourselves. No one will ever make slaves of us again."
More than that, they had become campaigners for freedom. They were going to surrounding villages and educating others about how to protect themselves.
So they told us their story and we got up to leave. But the villagers said: "No, no, no. You can't leave yet. We have to sing you our freedom song." So they took out their instruments and began to sing: "We know our rights. We keep our rights. We do not fear sticks or guns or slave owners. We will achieve our destiny."
This is what we seek – to hear freedom's song in every language – to know that the sad dirge of bondage is heard no more – and that the great chorus of liberation resounds to the heavens.
We're all touched by slavery today. It's in our homes, schools, offices, churches and stores. That's because many of the 21 to 30 million people in modern-day slavery make products that we use every day.
You can help end it by fighting slavery at its source. A contribution to Free the Slaves will empower people in vulnerable communities to resist and overcome the forces that make them easy prey for traffickers.
Free the Slaves works at the community level in slavery hot spots around the globe. For us to be successful, we need our community of supporters to join together and take a stand for freedom. That's why we have just updated our Personal Fundraising Guide. It's designed to help you mobilize your personal network of friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and classmates.
The guide includes tips and resources for organizing your own mini-fundraising event or campaign to help spread freedom to those in bondage. The guide has info on how to prepare, how to attract donors, how to get information about slavery and the FTS model for fighting it, and how to create your own campaign donor page on Razoo.com.
We can conquer slavery, but only if we build bridges between communities that need help and communities with resources to provide it. We invite you to become a part of the solution to slavery by asking your community to join you in supporting Free the Slaves.
Most students learn in school that slavery ended more than a century ago. Of course, that isn't true. Slavery was outlawed, not ended. Current estimates are that 21-30 million people are enslaved today, more slaves than at any time in human history.
To provide teachers, pupils and parents with resources to teach and learn about modern-day slavery, FTS has just developed three downloadable guides. You can find them on the FTS students webpage.
The five-page Teacher's Guide includes sections on the definition of slavery, the types of slavery still in existence, the causes of slavery and key facts. The five-page Activities Guide includes a slavery quiz, question-and-answer exercises and a fill-in-the-square exercise. The six-page Case Studies guide provides real-world examples of adults and children in various forms of slavery, with suggested discussion questions for each example.
The guides can be used by teachers to develop in-class or after-class activities, or by parents or students as resources for school projects. They complement the FTS Slavery in History timeline, and the wealth of short videos on the FTS Vimeo channel that show what slavery looks like and showcase how it can be overcome.

Tracy Waters Sets Fire to Husband's Truck After Getting Crotchless Panties For Christmasby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Tracy Waters, a 34-year-old Ohio woman, was arrested after she received some terrible Christmas gifts from her husband Dave and set fire to his truck.
What did she get, exactly, that was so bad?
"He gave me a slow-cooker and these red nylon crotchless panties with a push-up bra," Waters told police. "The bra had tassels for f--k sake. Tassels."
'Tis the season.
Police charged Tracy Waters with arson, assault with a weapon (a 4-gallon ceramic crock pot with corn-on-the-cob pattern) and swearing in public.
This may even top the South Carolina woman arrested for assault with a deadly squirrel after her man failed to bring home beer Christmas morning.
It's also the second arrest this month we've reported on that involved swearing in public, with THG mug shot queen Jenelle Evans being the first.
As for Waters' husband? He was taken aback by her holiday reaction.
He tells the Dayton Daily News he was excited about the gifts he got for his wife and doesn't understand why she became angry and turned violent.
"Good food, good lovin' and a good truck were all I wanted for Christmas," said the 37-year-old warehouse worker, now sporting a swollen shut right eye.
"Now the truck's gone, the wife's gone, and she even broke the crock pot."
That trifecta is a bummer, especially on Christmas, we know. Nothing says "f--k me and feed me" quite like a crock pot ... maybe Tracy's allergic to corn?
We may never know, but in any case, police encountered quite a sight.
Officials responded to a call from a duplex in the Ohio city after concerned neighbors reported that there was a vehicle on fire, and that's not even all.
In a scene that sounds straight out of an episode of Cops, Waters was observed throwing armfuls of what looked like men's clothing onto the flames.
No word on whether she threw the bra and its tassels into the inferno.
"f--k me and feed me" That line right there pretty much sums up exactly what is wrong with this gift. Unless you know your significant other is extremely into those things DON'T buy them as gifts!
The best reactions of a dumb clueless wife being treated dirty was Jennifer Lawrence's role as Christian Bales wife in new movie American Hustle. She was so funny, and got his ass back so good for being a cheating ass.
They say its the thought that counts...
she's absolutely right.
he must give those presents to prostitutes. BUT NOT YOUR OWN, YOU G*DDAMN IDIOT!!

The day, the date, the scene and the opponent were eerily familiar, but the outcome for Rob Bagg wasn't.
On Saturday, Aug. 17, 2013, the Montreal Alouettes visited Mosaic Stadium to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders. In the second quarter of that CFL game, Bagg suffered a knee injury that had many at the time thinking the career of the Roughriders' receiver may be over.
"Had to remind me, eh?" Bagg said when the spectre of that incident was raised following Saskatchewan's 16-11 victory over the Alouettes on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014, at Mosaic Stadium.
Bagg's injury in 2013 turned out to be a sprained left knee, not a torn ligament as had been feared initially. Bagg, who had endured knee issues from 2010 through 2012, missed just one game last season before returning to the lineup.
On Saturday, Bagg led Saskatchewan in receptions (six) and yards receiving (90). His 30-yard touchdown catch was the Roughriders' lone major in the contest and helped propel them to their fourth straight victory.
In reality, Bagg didn't need to be reminded of what had happened 364 days earlier.
"I think about it every game, every time I buckle up," said Bagg, a 29-year-old product of Kingston, Ont., who's in his seventh season with the Roughriders.
"People say you've got to treat every game like it's your last game, but I definitely have a sense of being blessed every time I'm able to step on the field. I don't take the game for granted."
Through Saskatchewan's seven games this season, Bagg leads the team with 25 receptions and 359 yards receiving.
The bulk of his numbers have been accrued in the past three games. Prior to Saturday's showing, he had six catches for 123 yards against the Ottawa Redblacks on Aug. 2 and four receptions for 31 yards versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Aug. 7. His numbers likely are a reflection of his tenure with the Roughriders and the accompanying familiarity he has with quarterback Darian Durant.
"He's a guy I have been playing with pretty much my whole career and his," said Durant, who has been the Roughriders' starting pivot since 2009. "The chemistry we have is off the charts."
The absences this season of proven receivers in Weston Dressler (trying out for the Kansas City Chiefs), Chris Getzlaf (injured for three games) and Taj Smith (suspended for the contest in Winnipeg) also have led to more opportunities for Bagg in the Roughriders' offence.
He's obviously not complaining about the increased workload, but he's not crowing about it either.
"It's just chance, I suppose," he said. "Sometimes you think you have the best game of your life and you have no catches. You look at film and you're like, 'I did everything I was supposed to do.' Then some games you don't play your best and you have a lot of catches.
"I don't really look at numbers too much in that sense." Bagg and Brett Swain are the only two receivers who have played in all seven of Saskatchewan's games this season. But Swain is a CFL rookie, meaning Bagg has been something of a security blanket for Durant and the Roughriders' offence.
As one of the elder statesmen in the receiving corps, Bagg also has tried to help CFL neophytes like Swain, Chaz Schilens and Ryan Smith get acclimated to the league and their surroundings.
It's something Bagg felt obligated to do - and something the newcomers appreciated.
"Robbie's a great leader, just the way he handles himself, the way he practises and the way he prepares himself ...," Smith said.
"Him being there just makes you more comfortable as a player. You know you've got a vet beside you and you can ask him questions if you need to."
Bagg suggested hard work has combined with opportunity to get him to this point in his career. Whether he remains the Roughriders' leading receiver as the season progresses remains to be seen, but that won't affect his preparation.
"Every receiver has the approach that they're going to be the main guy," he said. "I know I would take Taj as a No. 1 receiver and I would take Brett Swain - it doesn't matter on this team. It's just about whose number is called on a particular play. In an offence like ours, everyone has to do their job for one guy to get the highlight."
EXTRAS: According to media reports Monday, the Roughriders will be adding veteran kicker Justin Palardy. The 26-year-old product of Truro, N.S., would compete with incumbent Chris Milo, who is just 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts this season.

Zach Parise named as men's hockey captain for Team USA
Jan 31, 2014, 1:20 PM EST
The Minnesota Wild's Zach Parise was named the U.S. men's hockey team captain for the Sochi Olympics on Friday afternoon. He is the youngest U.S. men's hockey captain since National Hockey League players began competing in the Olympics starting with the Nagano Games in 1998.
"I was pretty thrilled the other day to get that call from [head coach Dan] Bylsma," Parise said on Friday. "I am lucky enough to join a pretty elite list of players that have been captains for the United States…There's plenty of guys that wear letters with their own teams. I don't think our team is going to be lacking in leadership at all."
Dustin Brown, captain for the Los Angeles Kings, and Ryan Suter, who, like Parise, is an alternate captain for the Wild, will serve as the U.S. team's alternates in Sochi.
The Americans are looking to go one step higher on the podium after winning the silver four years ago in Vancouver, which saw the team captained by the recently retired Jamie Langenbrunner.
Parise, who was a teammate with Langenbrunner on the New Jersey Devils at the time, served as an alternate captain in Vancouver and scored the tying goal that sent the gold medal game against Canada to overtime.
Langenbrunner himself took over the captain's role from Chris Chelios after he led Team USA in the previous three Winter Olympics (Nagano 1998, Salt Lake City 2002, Torino 2006).
Several of Team USA's gold medal rivals have already made their choices for men's hockey captains. Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby will lead the reigning champions from Canada, while Detroit Red Wings Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg will captain the host Russians and Swedes, respectively.

To the Editor:
While I agree that President Bush owes the public an apology for his administration's efforts to make its invasion of Iraq appear legitimate (editorial, June 17), doesn't the public bear some responsibility, for having been so gullible?
Many warned that an invasion would create a breeding ground for terrorism in Iraq where none had existed. Experts said Al Qaeda and Iraq were not linked, while millions demonstrated against a needless war.
With so much information to the contrary available, how could so many Americans believe their government's assertions? Too many citizens were incurious, unquestioning or willingly lulled into inaction.
Only now, with hundreds of lives (and billions of dollars) wasted, are more heads at last emerging from the sand.
Mount Tremper, N.Y., June 17, 2004
