Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A heartfelt cry to save endangered children
Acting ombudsman wants action after inquiries
In 2006, Mel Holley read all the Manitoba child death reports on file. The province's acting ombudsman learned the appalling variety of ways children in Manitoba have been abused, murdered or taken their own lives. There were awful themes in the reports, problems that continued to be present across the years.
"Every child, I read about," he said during a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. Patterns emerged from the files.
"It may be addiction or suicide or federal provincial cost-sharing. We've had these problems forever in the child welfare system. Are we fixing them? Well, no."
Holley released his followup report to the 2006 report on child welfare services after the death of a child Tuesday. In it, he said there have historically been workload and inadequate resource issues raised by workers in the child welfare system. Anyone with an eye on the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry knows these concerns continue.
Holley was refreshingly frank when he talked about the report and his expectations of change.
"I want people to keep drilling down until you understand why children continue to die (while in the care of the child welfare system)."
There were 161 child deaths in Manitoba in 2011-12. The majority occurred naturally. Special Investigation Reviews (SIRs) are done if the child or its family had a file with CFS or within the year prior to the child's death. They replace the former Section 10 reports.
Of those 161 deaths, 61 were eligible for review and 12 were children who were under CFS care.
In 2011, the Child Protection Branch reported there were 19,714 families, unmarried adolescent parents and children receiving out-of-home care, such as foster care.
The Phoenix Sinclair commission has repeatedly heard that front-line workers didn't know which set of standards they were supposed to follow. They've also said they wish reviews conducted after a child's death were shared with the employees whose jobs were reviewed,
Holley doesn't know why those reports aren't shared with employees because that's not part of his mandate. He suggested they aren't shared with the public due to privacy concerns.
"Is there a value to it? Yes. Is there a danger to it? Yes."
Holley said information in the reports may be one-sided and shouldn't be widely disseminated.
He is not attending the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry because it would be too depressing, he said. He remains troubled by what he read in those death files.
He said progress has been made in the province's ability to review and report on the deaths of children in care.
"Our child welfare system is a complex network of agencies and services that provides a variety of services and supports to almost 20,000 families, single adolescent parents and children in Manitoba," said Holley. "Resolving larger, systemic issues is essential to ensuring that the child welfare system in Manitoba continues to improve and provide children, families and communities in the province with better services.
"The child death review process enables the OCA and the ombudsman's office to review, monitor and report publicly on issues that span the province and relate to child welfare as a whole."
But in 2011, and since, more than 347 recommendations have been made to enhance the safety and well-being of children and prevent deaths in similar circumstances in the future, Holley said in his review of the Office of the Child Advocate's work.
Holley said holding inquiries is one thing. Having takeaway lessons is another.
"Say there are significant suicides among kids in care. How are we going to address that?"
His report reveals what child welfare insiders have long known: Northern and remote communities sometimes lack Internet service and cellphone networks. They can't access the province's central information system. As well, the report says some regions have fewer professional and specialized supports such as psychiatrists.
So how do you level the playing field? "I don't know. We are trying to make this stuff an issue," says the frank Holley. "If you don't think about these things, we're going to keep having Phoenix Sinclair inquiries year after year."
He compares the work in getting child welfare working properly to ending poverty. No one has done it yet but they don't stop trying.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

Best Buy drops price of Apple's iPhone 4 to $50 with 2-year contractIn what appears to be a permanent price drop, Best Buy is selling Apple's 8-gigabyte iPhone 4 for $49.99 with a new two-year contract.
The new price is half that of the regular $99 price for the iPhone 4 with a new service contract. Reseller Best Buy is offering the $49.99 upgrade price on both the GSM iPhone 4 model, compatible with AT&T, as well as the CDMA variants, available for both Verizon and Sprint.
Best Buy's website does not identify the new price as a temporary sale. The new price is the same that Best Buy charges for a refurbished iPhone 4, and the discount is available in both black and white models.
The price cut comes only days after Apple announced it sold 26 million iPhones in the June quarter, representing 28 percent growth over the same period a year prior. Investors viewed that number as disappointing, and AAPL stock took a hit as a result.
Apple executives said during their quarterly earnings conference call on Tuesday that they believe the growth slowdown, particularly with respect to iPhone sales, was at least somewhat attributable to rumors of new products. The company is widely expected to launch its next-generation iPhone with a slightly larger 4-inch display later this year.
The iPhone 4 was first released in mid-2010 and marked the debut of the high-resolution Retina display, as well as the forward-facing FaceTime camera. It is currently Apple's mid-range handset, resting between the newest model, the iPhone 4S, and the low-end iPhone 3GS, available for free with a two-year contract. Verizon and Sprint do not offer the iPhone 3GS, which means the iPhone 4 is Apple's entry-level handset with those two carriers.

Here is my code
var a = this.innerHTML;
var b = 'blababibbaib';
if(a !== b)
c = a;
return this.innerHTML = b;
return this.innerHTML = c;
and with the var
var a = this.innerHTML;
var b = 'blababibbaib';
if(a !== b)
var c = a; // here with the var it makes c undefined :-(
return this.innerHTML = b;
return this.innerHTML = c;
The reason I was doing this is because I wanted a function for an onclick event that would change back and forth between the original and var b. Just for fun really.
But I don't understand why when you add the var in front of the c variable it makes it undefined once you click through it. Will someone illuminate me?
I'm guessing it has something to do with variable scope when used in functions????
Thanks in advance :-)
Okay, I did this to declare it with var, but I'm still not sure why exactly.
Outside the function I added an if check for c before declaring it
if(!c) var c = '';
But like I said, I would still like to hear whats going on and why Thanks :-)
Edit 2: Thanks everybody, reading about hoisting now.
I was getting confused I think, it seems even you don't need to check for c either. Thought might matter...oh well. Thanks again

Latest Venus Flytrap Stories
Researchers are studying the mechanics behind the way that a Venus fly trap snaps its leaves in order to trap and feed upon insects, and how that process could one day be used to improve upon a plethora of different products.
Scientists from Cambridge University have found that a carnivorous plant employs the laws of physics to help it find its meals.
In the kind of discovery seldom seen in modern biology, scientists say they have discovered a carnivorous Brazilian plant that uses sticky, subterranean leaves to catch and digest worms.
Charles Darwin described the Venus Flytrap as 'one of the most wonderful plants in the world.'
New material finds 'needle in a haystack,' shows promise for clean-up.
Scientists have traced the origin of the Venus flytrap and another predatory plant back to a single ancestor with sticky leaves.
These days, the venus flytrap is more vulnerable than ever and despite its popularity, the people who could protect it seem focused on other problems.

I am attempting to perform a calculation in an aggregation based on the day of the current month. For example, I want to divide the total number of transactions by the day of the month to get transactions per day.
The problem is I can't figure out how to get the current date. I see plenty of examples where it's hardcoded, but what I need is more like the MySQL NOW() function.
I've tried something like this:
> db.statistics.aggregate([{$project: {dayofmonth: {$dayOfMonth: Date()}}}])
"errmsg" : "exception: can't convert from BSON type String to Date",
"code" : 16006,
"ok" : 0
But that produces the error you see.
How can I get the current day of the current month for use in an aggregation calculation?

I've left my job as a corporate lawyer to travel the world for a year with my fiancée, Reina (she also had to quit her job as a pharmacist).
I love talking/playing/watching all sports (especially football), movies and the odd beer (which Australian doesn't!).
We like to think of ourselves as easy-going people who are happy to go with the flow.
On our trip we are basically moving westerly around the world. We start in Asia, move to the Middle East, then on to Europe and finally South America. We will be getting married in Chile (Reina's background) at the very end of our trip (circa June 2014).
As far as travelling goes we prefer to do things the way locals do. That is, we try to avoid planned tours and such. Although there are the occasional struggles (especially where there is a language barrier), we find this way more rewarding as it gives us a closer insight into the culture of the location.

Prices - Euros?
You will notice that the prices for our European tours are now listed in Euros.
1 January 2014
Why Euros? We purchase all of our European cycling tours from European tour operators. We do not run these tours ourselves, we never have. We work solely from commission which means that you do not pay more for a tour when booking through us. The price stays the same. However, since we buy these tours in Euros, it is easier to list the price in Euros and use that day's exchange rate to determine the price in U.S. Dollars. The prices for the tours does not change, but the exchange rate will. There is a calculator on the pricing page of each tour so that you can accurately and immediately calculate the price in U.S. Dollars.
But what exchange rate will you use to compose the final invoice?
The exchange rate will be the bank rate plus 2 cents. If there are more than 100 days before travel, you can pick a day when the exchange rate is favorable and pay in full that day. Otherwise, we will use the exchange rate of the day that is 100 days before your tour date. As always, an initial $300 per person deposit is required at time of booking that goes towards the final cost of the trip. Full payment is due 90 days before travel. If you are booking a tour less than 90 days before travel, full payment will be required at time of booking with that day's exchange rate.
*For charters, payment will be due 150 days before travel.

Erica's (Hayley Orrantia) decision to postpone college and pursue professional singing worries Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) in the new episode "The Adam Bomb." Beverly then asks Murray (Jeff Garlin) to have a related talk with Erica, but it doesn't turn out as anticipated. In an appropriately timed subplot, Adam and Barry (Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile) pull a series of April Fools' Day jokes on each other. Ana Gasteyer reprises her guest role.
How similar are other planets to Earth? The aptly titled episode "Alien Planets" tackles the question from the standpoint of discoveries made via NASA's Kepler Telescope, the specific purpose of which is to find such other locations in the solar system. Whether earthlings could sustain life on any of them is another matter addressed during the hour, with related observations by astrologists and astrophysicists enhanced by animation.
The stages of this season's competition are getting ever more critical, as the episode title "Top 8 Perform" confirms. By the end of the two hours, it'll be down to the top seven, since someone will be sent home. Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban are sure to be careful in their judging, knowing what it means to the hopefuls ... and also knowing how it could impact the voting by viewers. Ryan Seacrest is (of course) the host.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It is clear you don't understand what rights are. Why don't you define rights for us?
(Once you realize you're having trouble clearly defining what rights are and why you have them, because you don't actually understand them, go do some homework and come back when you have something intelligent to say.)
Why does nobody offer the suggestion of ASKING FOR HELP? ASKING FOR HELP is an option. No one has a right to live off of someone else's efforts though, so if someone hits shit luck he can't just impose on someone.

If they undo some nerf to Xin, then they definitely will counter it with some kind of nerf. Keep in mind Riot is actively searching for how to scale back tanky-dps correctly, and although Xin Zhao isn't as tanky as he used to be, he still is tanky dps
