Cypop5 Task 9
Typical behaviours exhibited by children linked to their stage of development and events in their lives.
Behaviour and how and why behaviour can be linked to stage of development or key events in life
Baby picks up a toy and strikes another child with it. - Babies do not have any concept of the feeling of others and would not recognise that their actions could hurt someone.
A toddler throws a tantrum because he can't get a toy to work.- Toddler's get very frustrated as they build independence but do not always have the motor skills yet to do what they want to do.
A pre-school child plays too roughly after watching the older children play football and makes one of the toddlers cry.- Pre-school children experiment and copy what they see and hear, this can often lead them to act inappropriately.
A school age child uses inappropriate language when they fall over and hurt themselves. - Children often copy what they have seen adults do and this could be a response from that.
A toddler grabs a toy from another child. - Toddler's are not ready to share yet and will need reminding.
How ground rules for behaviour and expectations are developed and implemented
Children are not born with an understanding of what is acceptable behaviour. Childminders play a vital part in promoting positive behaviour. I actively promote positive behaviour, which stems from children being empowered, valued and respected. In my house my rules will be made around things that are important to parents, children and me. For example, keeping children safe. I have written a behaviour policy which will be given to parents to discuss at our first meeting. Developing and sharing your expectation and ground rules will help children feel secure, they are then more likely to conform once they understand what the house rules are and why they are there.
All children at the setting will be introduced to the ground rules as early as possible. (Depending on the age of the child) There will be...

The icons in this book aren't men like Steve McQueen or Paul Newman, rather, they're wardrobe staples like trenchcoats, penny loafers, and tweed jackets. Read up on the origins of deck shoes, penny loafers, M-65 jackets, and much, much more. Josh Sims is a deft writer, and his take on timeless menswear is a more interesting perusal than his other book, Cult Streetwear, which serves as simply a primer on brands like Neighborhood, X-Large, and Stussy, though there's not much in here you can't glean from a steady diet of forums and blog archives.

Do you think it could be possible to use your plugin with the 'Media Categories' plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/media-categories-2/) in order to only show documents which are part of a given category ?
With the coupling of these two plugins, we could build a simple files manager. (And this is what I'm looking for :D)

Ok so the last time I had a "normal" af was 9/7 October I took progesterone because no ovulation or af nothing happened dr told me to wait it out (I can't wait it out are you kidding me) November I started Dong Quai bc no ovulation or af still, and nothing. So fast forward to now still no "normal" afĀbut slight bleeding very light to spotting is this a cycle so I can start SI. I am just so anxious to get this ball rolling and underway. Any advice is appreciated
Question about AF *UPDATE*
Chay(24) + Dustin (26)= Rainbow
Comments (9)
Hmm tricky one! It's not supposed to be considered AF until it is full red flow. I would wait a few days before starting it personally
TTC #1 for 9 years with irregular cycles and MFI
Yeah, like Jenn said, you can't call it real AF until you have actual red flow. Have you taken a pregnancy test? My doc told me if I took Provera with no AF coming withing 2 weeks of the last pill then I would probably be pregnant. That never happened to me though. It's pretty serious if you take Provera and Dong Quai with no AF appearing. Are you positive that you haven't ovulated?

Baby Boy "Tripp" due June 9th 2013!!!
Very postive and all negative preg test
Chay(24) + Dustin (26)= Rainbow
Wow, that is so tough. I really don't know why you wouldn't get a real flow from Provera and Dong quai. when I took Provera, my period was really heavy and it lasted for 7 days, the longest I had ever had. If you don't get full flow in a week or so I would be demanding for you doc to run some tests, or do and Ultrasound or something!
Me(27)+DH(28)= DD-Evey(6)

Baby Boy "Tripp" due June 9th 2013!!!
I don't have experience with not getting AF after taking progesterone and dong quai, but I did have a cycle that went long when I knew I hadn't O'ed (so no risk I was pregnant) where I went ahead and took SI's anyway. I, too, had some spotting.
Anyway, I didn't O and continued to have a really, really long cycle. It didn't regulate anything or do any good for me.
I'd definitely talk to the doctor again. There are different ways they can prescribe the progesterone in terms of dose, frequency and duration. What did they have you take and for how long? I was on 10mg, once a day for 10 days during the aforementioned long cycle. Like Jenny, my period was heavy and long: 8 days.
AMY - Mama of 3
AHHH I just started AF finally!! I can get another cycle on the way and pray for a BFP!!!
Chay(24) + Dustin (26)= Rainbow
Oh and would this be cycle day 1 since its night or would I count tomorrow as cycle day 1?
Chay(24) + Dustin (26)= Rainbow
it's so close to tomorrow I would say tomorrow
married 13 yrs 10/15! Mom to DD 3/03,DS 3/06,Our miracle DS 8/12 & Surprise Addition EDD 2/11/16. Angels '99,'04,1/15, twins '11,CP '11 & 5/15

Christine Harada has a clear vision of where she wants to lead the General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy. In her first government gig, the onetime aerospace engineer has two distinct focuses for what she wants to achieve: making data-driven decisions and increasing transparency at the agency.
Harada took over as associate administrator of governmentwide policy about a month ago. She replaced Anne Rung, who left for a position at the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
Harada's first order of business is improving analytical capabilities. She said she is starting from a solid base and has identified places where additional data should be collected. But she sees more opportunities for putting that data to use.
"I don't know that we've actually questioned, 'How can we create greater efficiencies out of this?'" she said. "What are some of the critical points that we need to ensure so that we have continuous operations or resilience?"
OGP collects and shares massive amounts of data with government agencies. As a management consultant for the past two years, Harada said she learned that "data is gold," which is why she is working to expand those capabilities among OGP's employees.
"One of the main reasons I'm really passionate about building up the team is that I want real performance metrics behind our policy decisions," Harada said. "I want to know how our policy affects other government agencies, and more importantly, are those policies and regulations having a desired effect on behavior? We won't know that unless we make a concerted effort to measure our success" and help the government be more efficient and effective.
With regard to the "better, faster, cheaper" mentality that is prevalent in government today, Harada said the best ways to improve efficiency are transparency and the free flow of information. So it's no surprise that she wants increased transparency for OGP initiatives, including their status "and how they all tie into the greater strategy management for GSA and OGP at large."
In previous roles, Harada has helped Fortune 500 and public-sector clients improve their organizational effectiveness and translate strategy into execution. For an organization as large and far-reaching as government, she said ensuring clear decision-making authority for employees and having good information flow are essential.
"It's understanding how these large and complex organizations manage and manage well," Harada said. "I think that regardless if you're for-profit, not-for-profit or government, there are good fundamental management practices that everyone can benefit from."
Although this is Harada's first job at a government agency, she has worked with federal clients such as the Defense Department, and she said she thrived on the mission-oriented aspect of the work.
"It's so much fun to work with people who believe in something and have a calling," she said.
Harada's first job was as an aerospace engineer building satellites at Lockheed Martin. She has also worked as an international program manager at Kana Software and as a consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton and the Boston Consulting Group.
"I've enjoyed focusing on big pictures," she said. "Whether that's space or working in consulting, we all have some complex issues to solve, and I look forward to solving problems from the inside."

I am considering converting our XOOPS driven site to WordPress, as we are using the XPressME Integration Kit, which 'combines WordPress 3.1 and the XPressME module to 'make' a WordPress XOOPS working module. I am quite impressed with WordPress, despite having used XOOPS for many years.
Have spent considerable time doing searches on the WP forums about XOOPS. Most of the posts are very old (also most closed), and therefore irrelevant, and many of the other posts do not contain the information I'm seeking. Therefore, please don't suggest I search the forums. :D
Here is what we are using now, each 'part' is called a module in XOOPS.
1. WordPress - I'm assuming I can use the db tables to import from XOOPS to WP, as I now use WP Admin to add new posts, etc
2. Headlines - This is a RSS news feed. It has categories, and within categories, you simply supply the uri of the news feed and a decription, also how long you want the cache to be, XML, rss type, etc. There are options about whether to display images, full text, number of news stories each 'page', etc
3. Links - Categories can be setup here also, and then within each category, add a link to a site, plus add HTML to describe any info and images, etc, that you may want to use.
4. Sitemap - Fairly basic sitemap. If you change any part of the site, it does it automatically. Part of this is to give Google, etc a sitemap, just a .php file.
5. Contact Us - Simple contact form, name, email, message, BUT is has captcha, which is a definite need, as bots can be a nuisance, so forcing a 'person' to do it is the best way.
So, looking for plugins I guess, that would do the same job as the above. Here is the server config ..
Apache version 2.2.13
PHP version 5.2.10
MySQL version 5.0.92-community
don't see a problem there. Also, our host has the security side of things very well 'tight'. Which brings to mind probably the most important side of 'staying' with XOOPS these so many years, is that it has a module called 'Protector', which was originally designed/built by GIJOE, see Protectors download info . The brief info there about what Protector can do ..
- DoS
- Bad Crawlers (like bots collecting e-mails...)
- SQL Injection
- XSS (not all though)
- System globals pollution
- Session hi-jacking
- Null-bytes
- Directory Traversal
- Some kind of CSRF (fatal in XOOPS <= 126.96.36.199)
- Brute Force
- Camouflaged Image File Uploading (== IE Content-Type XSS)
- Executable File Uploading Attack
- XMLRPC's eval() and SQL Injection Attacks
- SPAMs for comment, trackback etc.
It is very powerful, and has saved many sites from being hacked. This is probably my biggest concern with moving from XOOPS to WordPress, the module Protector is very good on the security side of things.
Is there a WordPress plugin that I could use that will give me the 'protection' that the XOOPS protector module has been giving ?
I realise other protection measures can always be in place, like cmod to lowest level possible, etc.

I like the way the path bends around the hill and wanders on.
Have you thought of shooting a stereo image like this one for HDR? It might give you some interesting results.
Thanks for commenting on these stereo pictures, Chip. I did try one HDR stereo that trip, but it didn't turn out - only two of all the HDR did turn out, actually. I will try it again, it sure would be interesting.
To honest, I'm having the same kind of luck with HDR stereo, and haven't figured out why. I was hoping someone else was doing it well enough to help me out. I guess we'll have to wait until Vasco gets a new camera, I'm sure he'll come up with something.
Here's a stereo HDR shot that I did a couple days ago. I wasn't satisfied with it and didn't post it. Tonight, I recreated the tone-mapped HDRs and realigned and cropped the pair again in SPM. It's a little better, but still not quite right.

Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

In the complaint, Bbelanger stated that s/he had never previously accessed iFriends or heard of the service. It is possible that someone has fraudulently used Bbelanger's personal information to create an account on our service. If this is the case, we strongly encourage Bbelanger to contact local law enforcement and file a police report. We work diligently with banks and law enforcement agencies to help apprehend anyone committing credit card fraud or identity theft. Unfortunately, since iFriends did not assess the overdraft charges to Bbelanger's account, we are unable to refund them. Because the bank chose to assess the fees, the bank is the only entity that can refund those fees. We strongly suggest that Bbelanger speak to his or her bank about the overdraft charges.
Each time we send a charge to a credit or debit card, we provide a toll-free telephone number next to the charge. We also provide a link to both telephone and email contact information on each page of our website. Again, we encourage Bbelanger to contact us directly so that we can resolve this issue.
Our company has an exemplary 11-year-record with all of the leading consumer protection agencies, and we are best in class in our industry in the development of model online consumer best practices. Every one of our web services is verified by TRUSTe to be on its sealholder list of "the most trustworthy online businesses."

Riverside QB picks Nicholls
Published: Friday, January 28, 2011 at 10:23 a.m.

I want to fill a table with a lot of data: 250 rows x 4 columns. However, as soon as I start a table with over 200 'items', I cannot edit the table any more. Or, actually: I can edit the table, but I cannot save it. As soon as I try to save any change (even deleting items), I go back to the initial start screen of Ultimate Tables, where you can pick one of your tables to edit. Changes are not saved.
Unnecessary to say that I found out after spending at least one hour with filling over 50 rows (200 cells) with data.... That's gone. And I cannot edit my table anymore.
Are there more people with this problem? It's easy to reproduce: create a new table, add 200 items, save, try to change something in the table and tadaaaah it does not work anymore.
And any clues for how to solve this problem?

Comments about Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
These are GREAT! They are easy to put on, and harder for baby to remove. They are warm, cozy and breathable. There are 2 settings for the snaps allowing baby to grow without growing out the the booties too quickly.
I gave them a 4 for only one reason: The bottoms of the booties are made of the same material as the sides. A wee bit SLICK on hard surfaces. If baby rolls around on carpet all day- cool! If hardwood or tile (or the like), beware.

Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
These booties are the only thing that will stay on my baby's feet. She has had them in all different colors and sizes since she was a newborn, and I will miss them when she starts wearing shoes.
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
I read about these in Parent's magazine & love them! My son loves to pull off his socks at night, but these stay on his feet until morning. These booties are lined on the inside with soft cotton and even after he has chewed on these, his feet are still dry.
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
These are the best ever. They stay on his feet and do not fall off.
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
They stay on, go above the ankle, and are so soft and warm. Forget socks...these are the way to go. Love them!
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
A friend bought my first pair when my son was born. He is still wearing them at 8 months!! They are the only bootie that he cant get off. I live in Colorado and these booties are a must!!!
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
We absolutely loved these little booties. They were warm and comfortable and he could not take them off. We bought three different colours and wore them every day. I was very disappointed when my son outgrew them and they did not make larger sizes. For baby # 2 I will definitely have the same booties. They make a wonderful baby shower gift!
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
These are the only things that will keep my son's feet covered! It also keeps his socks on. I no longer have to look down the street to see where my son has ditched his socks. These are wonderful.
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
These were/are the most perfect foot covering for us! My son, who is not walking just yet, has very wide feet and cannot wear the cute baby shoes. He will be walking soon, but until then...we will be wearing the booties!!!
Comments about Zutano Cozie Fleece Bootie - Navy:
I have purchased several pairs of slippers. None of them would stay on my sons feet. I found these and decided to try them out. I love them. My son can not get them off and he tugs on them. My only advice is to purchase the next size up. They seem to run a little small.

Moderate Advancement
In 2014, Panama made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government of Panama initiated its biennial national child labor survey, created a subcommittee to address the causes of child labor in the province of Bocas del Toro, and expanded the Direct Government Action Program to provide nationwide social and economic services aimed at preventing and eliminating child labor. However, children in Panama are engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation. The law does not adequately define light work and fails to prohibit minors under 16 from engaging in hazardous work within training establishments. Moreover, the law does not clearly sanction violations related to the hazardous work in which children are prohibited to engage.
Children in Panama are engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation.(1-4) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in Panama.
Table 1. Statistics on Children's Work and Education
Working children, ages 5 to 14 (% and population):
3.7 (25,545)
Working children by sector, ages 5 to 14 (%):
School attendance, ages 5 to 14 (%):
Children combining work and school, ages 7 to 14 (%):
Primary completion rate (%):
Source for primary completion rate: Data from 2012, published by UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2015.(5)
Source for all other data: Understanding Children's Work Project's analysis of statistics from Encuesta de Trabajo Infantil (ETI), 2012.(6)
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
Production of coffee, tomatoes,* melons, sugarcane, beans,* rice,* bananas,* corn,* yucca,* pineapple,* oilseeds,* cereal grains,* and onions* (7-20)
Fishing,*† including harvesting shellfish* (2, 4, 7, 10, 19, 21-23)
Street work including selling goods on the street,† washing cars,† shoe shining,† and collecting recyclables*† (2, 4, 10, 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27-34)
Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Forced domestic work*† (3)
Commercial sexual exploitation sometimes as a result of trafficking*† (3, 19)
* Evidence of this activity is limited and/or the extent of the problem is unknown.
† Determined by national law or regulation as hazardous and, as such, relevant to Article 3 (d) of ILO C. 182.
‡ Child labor understood as the worst forms of child labor per se under Article 3(a)–(c) of ILO C. 182.
According to the results of Panama's 2014 biennial Survey on Child Labor, the highest prevalence of child labor is in autonomous indigenous areas, followed by the provinces of Bocas del Toro and Darién.(35) Children of indigenous descent face greater barriers to accessing education services, including having to travel significant distances to reach school.(31, 36) Additionally, children from indigenous communities frequently migrate with their families to work in agriculture.(9, 10) Farm owners often pay wages according to the amount of crops harvested, leading families to bring their children to work alongside them to harvest more crops.(10, 34) Girls from indigenous communities are also subjected to forced domestic work.(3) Moreover, the ILO Committee of Experts has noted that children from indigenous and Afro-Panamanian communities are particularly vulnerable to the worst forms of child labor and recommends government efforts to ensure their social integration and access to education.(37)
Commercial sexual exploitation of children occurs mainly in tourist areas of Panama City and beach communities.(19)
Panama 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
The Government has established laws and regulations related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 4).
Table 4. Laws and Regulations Related to Child Labor
Related Legislation
Minimum Age for Work
Article 70 of the Constitution; Articles 508-509, 716 of the Family Code; Articles 117, 119, 123 of the Labor Code (38-40)

Free Public Education
Article 34, 41 of the Law on Education; Article 95 of the Constitution (38, 44, 45)
† No standing military (38, 46)
While the Constitution, Family Code, and Labor Code set the minimum age for employment at 14, Article 70 of the Constitution allows children below the minimum age to work under conditions established by law.(38-40) Article 716 of the Family Code permits children ages 12 to 14 to perform domestic and agricultural work as regulated by the Labor Code.(39) Article 119 of the Labor Code allows children ages 12 to 15 to perform light work in agriculture if the work is outside regular school hours and Article 123 allows children over the age of 12 to perform light domestic work. However, the Labor Code does not define the kinds of tasks children may perform as light work.(40)
Article 118 of the Labor Code and Article 510 of the Family Code allow minors to perform hazardous work in training establishments when the work is approved by the competent government authority and carried out under its supervision, but neither law establishes a minimum age for this work.(39, 40) Article 5 of Executive Decree No. 19 indicates that violations related to hazardous child labor will be sanctioned in accordance with existing laws, and the Government of Panama has stated that the penalties established in Article 215 of the original Penal Code apply to the worst forms of child labor.(4, 42) However, these penalties are not present in the updated Penal Code and it is unclear whether the penalties provided for in Article202 and 203 of the updated Penal Code or Article 125 of the Labor Code are applicable.(40, 41)
In 2014, several government agencies continued to review and comment on the updated draft of the List of Hazardous Occupations Prohibited for Children.(2, 4, 19, 47, 48)
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 (MITRADEL)
Enforce child labor laws. Contains two directorates with direct authority over child labor matters: the Directorate Against Child Labor and for the Protection of Adolescent Workers (DIRETIPPAT) and the Labor Inspection Directorate.(2) The Labor Inspection Directorate carries out labor inspections in establishments and sites where children may be working, particularly in the formal sector. DIRETIPPAT is a supervising entity responsible for overseeing the fulfillment of laws related to working children in the formal and informal sectors and plans and executes public policies; carries out education programs on child labor for employers, parents, and children; and coordinates the implementation of the National Plan for the Eradication of Child Labor and the Protection of Young Workers.(2, 7, 49-51) Refers cases of children found in exploitative work to the Child and Adolescent Courts or to the National Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence, and Family (SENNIAF).(2, 7)
Attorney General's Office
Investigate and prosecute crimes of sexual exploitation. Investigations initiated by the Judicial Investigative Directorate; cases passed to the prosecutors.(52)
Public Ministry's Organized Crime Unit
Investigate trafficking cases and operate a unit dedicated to investigating trafficking in persons for sexual exploitation.(7, 53)
National Commission for the Prevention of Crimes of Sexual Exploitation (CONAPREDES)
Investigate cases of commercial sexual exploitation.(25) Coordinate, advise, and implement policies related to sexual exploitation, as well as study related trends and prevalence. Promote public policies for the prevention and eradication of sexual exploitation through specific actions, projects, and programs.(54) Members include the Attorney General as well as the ministries of Labor, Education, Social Development, and Health. Refer cases of sexual exploitation to the Attorney General's Office.(22, 54)
National Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence, and Family (SENNIAF)
Carry out inspections to identify children and adolescents engaged in child labor, particularly in the informal sector.(4) Enhance government agencies' and NGOs' capacity to address child labor by monitoring and coordinating a network of government services that address the needs of vulnerable populations. Promote education as a means to eliminate poverty.(2, 29)
Childhood and Adolescence Police
Carry out inspections to identify children and adolescents engaged in child labor, particularly in the informal sector.(4) Support SENNIAF inspections in areas with high rates of child labor.(29)
Law enforcement agencies in Panama took actions to combat child labor, including its worst forms.
Labor Law Enforcement
In 2014, the Ministry of Labor (MITRADEL) employed 251 staff, including 10 labor inspectors and 8 child labor inspectors.(4, 19) All labor inspectors are trained to look for evidence of child labor; in 2014, MITRADEL inspectors received four trainings related to child labor.(4, 19, 55, 56) MITRADEL's Labor Inspection Directorate allocated $1,739,942 in 2014. The Government reported that the 2014 budget of $83,475,300 allocated to the Directorate Against Child Labor and for the Protection of Adolescent Workers (DIRETIPPAT) was insufficient to meet their commitments for coordination, implementation, and monitoring related to child labor.(4, 19) Both DIRETIPPAT and the Labor Inspection Directorate had access to vehicles and computers.(4, 19)
Complaints related to child labor may be filed through the "311" citizen complaint telephone hotline run by MITRADEL, or they can be filed in person at one of the MITRADEL offices or social service centers throughout the country.(4, 7, 19, 53) The complaints are assigned a case number and are processed by the appropriate government agency.(2) The Government reports that 10 complaints were received during 2014.(29)
During the reporting period, MITRADEL carried out 908 child labor inspections and 2,244 general labor inspections.(4) Additionally, MITRADEL conducted 34 operations to investigate child labor in such activities as washing cars, working in and around taxi and bus stops, fishing, working in ports, and working in public landfills.(4)
In 2014, DIRETIPPAT visited several communities, including the indigenous comarcas Ngäbe Buglé, Guna Yala, and Embera-Wounaan, as well as San Miguel Island and Esmeralda Island. DIRETIPPAT identified 1,508 children and adolescents engaged in street work and other hazardous labor, including 695 children engaged in informal work, 398 in agricultural activities, and 114 in fishing.(4, 19) DIRETIPPAT removed 1,426 working children and incorporated them into the Direct Government Action Program. The children will receive school scholarships and academic monitoring for 3 years.(4) The Labor Inspection Directorate removed an additional 16 children engaged in child labor, and the National Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence, and Family (SENNIAF) identified 673 child laborers.(4, 29) Despite these efforts, civil society groups note that labor inspections focus primarily on the formal sector, leaving children in the informal sector vulnerable.(19)
In 2014, MITRADEL received and investigated 18 complaints for violations of child labor laws. From this total, 7 were sanctioned, 10 are in process, and 1 was cleared.(4, 19) MITRADEL noted that Article 125 of the Labor Code sanctions fines ranging from $50 to $700 for child labor violations but does not specify whether the employer can be charged this amount per each affected worker.(4, 19)
Criminal Law Enforcement
The National Commission for the Prevention of Crimes of Sexual Exploitation (CONAPREDES) developed training workshops on the legal framework related to commercial sexual exploitation and reached approximately 300 law enforcement officials in the provinces of Coclé, Colón, Veraguas, Herrera, Los Santos, Panamá, Chorrera, and San Miguelito.(57) Although CONAPREDES member agencies receive training to carry out covert organized crime operations related to commercial sexual exploitation, turnover in personnel has resulted in a lack of permanently trained staff at CONAPREDES.(25) SENNIAF trained police on the risks and consequences of child labor.(29)
The Government has established mechanisms 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
The Committee for the Eradication of Child Labor and the Protection of Adolescent Workers (CETIPPAT)
Coordinate various efforts to combat child labor. Led by the First Lady of Panama and includes MITRADEL; the ministries of Education, Health, and Agriculture; as well as representatives from civil society and organizations of workers and employers.(54)
Coordinate government efforts to combat the commercial sexual exploitation of children. Led by the Office of the Attorney General and includes members from the ministries of Labor, Education, Social Development, and Health.(58) Conduct investigations in the area of sexual exploitation.(25)
Enhance government and NGO capacity to address child labor by creating a network of services that addresses the needs of vulnerable populations and promoting education as a means to eliminate poverty.(2, 29)
Subcommittee to Combat Child Labor*
Incorporate Panamanian Institute for Sports and the Ministry of Education in efforts to address child labor and its causes. The first agreement was managed by MITRADEL for the province of Bocas del Toro, which had the highest rates of child labor in the 2012 survey on child labor and 6 percent of child laborers identified by DIRETIPPAT in 2014.(19, 51, 59)
* Mechanism to coordinate efforts to address child labor was created during the reporting period.
In 2014, the Committee for the Eradication of Child Labor and the Protection of Adolescent Workers (CETIPPAT) prepared a study on the status of implementation of the Bilateral Agreement between Costa Rica and Panama for the protection of child labor migrants and began building a child labor monitoring system based on the Unique Registration of Child Labor system developed in Ecuador.(19)
The Government of Panama has established policies related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 7).
Table 7. Policies Related to Child Labor
Roadmap towards the Elimination of Child Labor (2011–2019)
Aims to eliminate the worst forms of child labor by 2015 and all child labor in Panama by 2020 by strengthening anti-poverty, health, and educational programs and policies.(22, 60, 61)
National Action Plan for the Prevention and Elimination of Sexual Commercial Exploitation of Children and Adolescents
Aims to prevent and eliminate the sexual commercial exploitation of children and adolescents, including through the provision of services to victims, strengthening CONAPREDES, and raising awareness. Implemented by CONAPREDES with support from the Public Ministry.(2, 22, 54, 62)

† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
In September 2014, Panama participated in the First Meeting of the Working Groups of the XVIII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor to foster continued dialogue and cooperation on labor issues throughout the Americas. Held in Bridgetown, Barbados, these discussions promoted the exchange of information on policies and programs that seek to formalize the informal sector, uphold workers' rights, and prevent and eliminate child labor.(65, 66)
In 2014, the Government of Panama 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)

Suggested Action
Year(s) Suggested
Legal Framework
Establish regulations that identify the types of agricultural activities that children between the ages of 12 and 15 can undertake as light work to ensure they are not exposed to hazardous labor.
Ensure that only minors age 16 and older who have received adequate, specific instruction or vocational training are permitted to perform hazardous work, and that their health, safety, and morals are fully protected.
Clarify which penalties apply under the Penal or Labor Code for violations of hazardous child labor provisions under Executive Decree No. 19 of 2006.
Allocate sufficient funding for DIRETIPPAT to meet its commitments for coordination, implementation, and monitoring related to child labor.
Build enforcement capacity to address children's work in the informal sector.
Clarify whether fines for child labor violations as sanctioned in Article 125 of the Labor Code may be applied for each affected worker.
Revise CONAPREDES assignment policies to address high turnover in personnel and ensure staff are trained to investigate cases of commercial sexual exploitation.
Social Programs
Ensure children from indigenous and Afro-Panamanian communities have access to education.
Assess the impact that existing programs such as the Network of Opportunities may have on child labor.

Jessica Paule
Favorite Bible Verse: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Mathew 6:33
Significant Life experiences that led me to HLCS: My name is Jessica Paule and we have been blessed to be a part of the HLCS family since 2004. The Lord led us to Harbor Light after moving here from Alaska. He continues to open doors and has provided many opportunities for us here. My husband Joel and I have two wonderful children Khalil and Khailani who have attended Harbor Light since they were in preschool.
I love HLCS because…Currently I am teaching preschool and work as an elementary aide as well. My husband and I have also had the opportunity to coach JH BBALL. We were truly blessed with this opportunity and always had a lot of fun. This is one of the reasons why I love HLCS. The more time we spend at school the more it feels like family. We are blessed to be in a place with a family atmosphere and where we can speak God's words of wisdom and encouragement to each other.
Activities & hobbies I enjoy: We love spending time together as a family, whatever adventure that might be.

Favorite Bible Verse: "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said..." Matthew 28:6
Significant Life Experiences That Led Me to HLCS: After having our first child, my husband and I wanted more than anything for him to know the Lord, believing Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." After visiting the school, we knew we would have the love, support and encouragement from the staff coming alongside us. I taught Readiness and Kindergarten for a brief time with both our son and daughter attending until circumstances required us to sadly leave. Our son returned to HLCS in high school and we know God orchestrated that without a doubt. We can see the fruit of what was put into him now that he is an adult and married to a wonderful girl, also an HLCS graduate. Our daughter's foundational experiences here still carry her and she is now serving as a Young Life leader. I couldn't be more grateful to have been led back to HLCS, this time for the kindergarten teaching position where I can share a love of educating young children with a passion for them to know how deeply they are loved by a mighty God.
I Love HLCS because… it beautifully blends the Christian faith with a solid educational experience. This happens in so many ways from a Christian based curriculum to weekly chapel days to Bible being taught as any other subject. But the most significant thing is that the love of Christ is shared here every day with students, parents and staff. HLCS care about each family and unites to serve the children here, and each other. It feels like a family. I am so grateful to be a part of it.
Activities & hobbies I enjoy: Spending time with my family is my favorite thing in the world-doing anything from hikes to games or just talking. I also love to take pictures because they make great memories, read, listen to music that builds my faith, work on outdoor projects, and I really enjoy CrossFit.

Favorite Bible Verse: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31
Significant Life Experiences that have led me to HLCS: I grew up as a pastor's kid and attended a Christian school myself. A good biblical foundation is so important in life. I was able to stand firm when I attended a public school and went "into the world". I enjoy laying the same firm foundation in my students. I want them to trust in the Lord no matter what they may face in their life.
I Love HLCS because… we are a family. Parents, children and teachers form a community of believers that pray and encourage each other. My first and second graders pray for the high school kids, teachers, and other parents, just as often as they pray for each other.
Activities & hobbies I enjoy: I enjoy scrapbooking. Each year I make a book for every child of what we did in first and second grade. I love to read and delight in sharing my favorite picture books with my class.

3rd & 4th Grade
Favorite Bible Verse: My favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11 which says, "I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future." I believe that my days as a student here prepared in me a love for this school which grows stronger each day. His plan for my future to return here as a teacher was one He cultivated in my heart. I will be forever grateful to the Lord for this school and what it has done for me and my children. My prayer is that each day I teach I might have a chance to help my students as they grow, prosper, and seek the Lord's will for their futures.
Significant life experiences that led me to HLCS: HLCS has been my home forever. I started at HLCS as a student in sixth grade and continued all the way through graduation. During my time here and through my interactions with my teachers, I developed a love for teaching and children. After studying at Taylor University, I was blessed enough to be able to return to teach at Harbor Light. Now that my children are school age, I am back to full time teaching and could not be happier.
I love HLCS because… This place is not just a school it is a family. I know that my own children are loved and well taken care of as they learn each day and the children God gives me as students become like my own.
Jenny Kruger
5th & 6th Grade
Favorite Bible Verse: Psalm 139
Significant Life Experiences that led me to HLCS: I am from the Upper Peninsula of MI and moved to Petoskey when I was hired to teach 2nd-3rd grade in 1995 at HLCS. I taught 3rd grade until 2001, and then taught one more year of music in 2002 before stepping down to stay home with my children.
I love HLCS because... we are working hard to instill God's truth and right living in our children at home, and we are so blessed to have them in an environment that adds to and backs up the same things we are teaching at home.
Activities/Hobbies I enjoy: Some of my favorite things to do are read, be outside, go for walks or bike rides, play the piano, and spend time in the U.P. with family.

Sheriff Arpaio Racial-Profiling Lawsuit Trial Still Set for July 19; Judge Rules He Doesn't Have Conflict

See also: Joe Arpaio Admits Racial Profiling, Takes Bigoted Suggestions From Supporters, as MCSO Deputies Pass Racist E-Mails and Racially Profile
U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow ruled today that he will stay on as judge in the ACLU's racial-profiling case against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office.
The highly anticipated trial over accusations that the Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office committed widespread discrimination will begin as scheduled on July 19, a federal judge ruled today.
U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow states in his July 3 ruling that he won't recuse himself from the case simply because his brother-in-law happens to work for the plaintiffs' law firm.

Street of NY Family Pack - Mercury v Sparks
TicketsSun., Aug. 28, 6:00pm
Snow notes that it would be in the interests of justice to resolve the case, which was filed four-and-a-half years ago and has already seen the replacement of several lawyers for the plaintiffs and another judge.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on behalf of local Latinos who say they were profiled and mistreated in racially charged traffic stops. It's separate from the U.S. Department of Justice probe that found evidence of widespread discrimination under Arpaio, but involves many of the same allegations.
In a case already beset by numerous delays, including those caused by Arpaio's destruction of evidence, Snow was recently faced with the decision on whether or not to recuse himself because his wife's brother, Keith Teel, works as a patent lawyer for the international law firm, Covington & Burling LLP.
Snow had already pondered the issue of a potential conflict of interest in mid-2010, when the Covington & Burling group took over for a previous set of lawyers. He decided there was no conflict, but didn't tell anyone about his concerns. The plaintiffs' lawyers brought up the issue last month, noting that Teel had no part in the case and would receive no financial benefit from it.
Arpaio could have made a stink over the issue and delayed the trial further, but decided against it. According to an Arizona Republic article about the issue on June 28, Arpaio believes Snow "would give the case an impartial hearing."
Evidently, Arpaio only raises issues of a vast conspiracy by the Obama Administration when he finds it convenient to do so.
The fact that Arpaio thinks Snow is impartial is ironic, since Snow has already ruled that he'll show bias in the case against the sheriff. Not personal bias, of course -- but rather, bias against the notion that the sheriff and his minions didn't commit racial profiling, based on the agency's outrageous destruction evidence likely to support the plaintiffs' claims.

Picking Grammys in a year without a front-runner
I do a pretty decent job of predicting the Oscar winners each year. But while I cover music for a living, when it comes to predicting the Grammys, I've never wagered any money.
That's because the Grammys are notoriously difficult to predict - except in a year where there's one clear dominating artist, like Adele, who collected multiple golden gramophones last year for her work on her mega blockbuster album "21." »Read Full Article

East Tenn. woman fights off intruders with chili

TAZEWELL, Tenn. (AP) Up in Tazewell, Wanda Bray slings a mean bowl of chili. Quite literally.
Claiborne County Sheriff's Capt. David Honeycutt said Bray was confronted by two men who broke into her home Tuesday night and she fought back by throwing what was described as "household objects" at them, including a bowl of homemade chili.
Then, according to The Knoxville News Sentinel, the 58-year-old Bray went after the intruders with a broom. They fled.
Police later arrested Fabian Moore of Arthur, Tommy Wayne Garrett of Cookeville, and Samuel Partin of Cumberland Gap.
They were charged with the home invasion robbery and with a recent convenience store holdup.
Honeycutt said the intruders demanded drugs from Bray and probably got away with a bottle of blood pressure pills.

Hi there I'm looking for some advice about turnout. We recently just had a five year old friesian imported from the Hollands, we live in Nashville Tennessee. The summers are much hotter here than in holland and were concerned about his day turnout but the grass also collects a lot of dew during the night and were also concerned that turning him out at night might lead to foot rot or fungus from his long feathers. Any advice? Thank you

I just bought a 3 (soon to be 4) year old Thoroughbred. I'm doing show jumping and dressage with him. Seeing that I'm only 13 and he can get pretty strong on a jumping course, I want to know what bit would be best for him. He is currently on a snaffle. Help please!

I have a gelding and we're have trouble loading him in the trailer. We've tried everything, treats, other horses loading first, butt ropes, chains over the nose and under the chin. Nothing works, he just keeps fighting. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
