Skill Level Beginner
Soundbooth has two equalization effects. One is called Graphic, and the other is Parametric. They both do, essentially, the same thing. They either boost or cut specific frequency bands. Graphic uses these little sliders that have presets for their frequency bands that you can raise or lower. And it ends up looking sort of like a graph, like a curve when you're done, all these little sliders line up. But the Parametric looks more like a graph than the Graphic, so the name might throw you off a little bit. Parametric actually uses a graph with six points on the graph that you can adjust and expand or narrow to suit your purposes.
I'll show you both here, and we'll start with a vocal here, the narration of the Constitution. The Parametric and the Graphic Equalization can help enhance a vocal in particular. It can give it a little more oomph in the bass or in the treble, depending on who is doing the vocal. And you can adjust these things very carefully and specifically for the voice. Let me just show you how that works. Here is the EQ:Graphic, and I have also applied Parametric, but I have got it turned off. So, we'll look at this one first and take a look at the settings and right away, you'll see how those sliders work. These are pretty familiar to anybody who has had an equalizer on their home stereo system, or in their car.
And you know that if you raise these guys here, you are raising the bass frequencies. If you raise these, you are raising the treble, and if you knock them down, you do the opposite. Right now, every one is set to neutral, all set to 0. We are not affecting this audio at all. This is the original dry version, if you want to call it that. (Male Speaking: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union) So let's apply some kind of a preset to at least get some of the work done for us, rather than slide these things one at a time. It makes it a little easier to start with a preset. So, since we have a male vocal here, let's give it a little male vocal boost.
Right away, you'll notice that in the male vocal range here of about 250-1000Hz, that frequency range is the typical male range. I just gave it a little boost and then knocked off the treble range and knocked off the deep bass range, which would be normally below most men's speaking voice, and it just gives it a little oomph. (Male Speaker: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,) Now I'll do it with it off. (Male Speaker: establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility) You see that one is off. There's just a little bit of treble presence there.
Here it's got a little bit more bass boost. I will just turn that back on. (Male Speaker: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,) (Male Speaker: establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,) So, on and off, you can sort of see the difference. And the thing is, you don't normally want to have an effect stand out, unless that's your purpose. And so, one of the cool things about audio editing is that when you are done, if people don't notice that you have applied a bunch of affects, you've probably succeeded, unless you really want it to be in their face with effects. So, we just made some subtle changes here, but you know you can always customize these guys.
(Male Speaker: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,) Obviously we don't want that, but you can customize these sliders any way you want. But it's good to start with a preset. Let me show you a little preset that just shows you that you can go beyond doing just a simple change, such that it may not be even noticeable to people listening. You can make some effects using these guys by changing the frequencies dramatically, like this walkie-talkie effect. If you're doing some kind of dramatic thing where someone is talking into a walkie-talkie, you can do something like this. (Male Speaker: We the People of the United States) So you can simulate a telephone, or simulate somebody communicating in your movie set, with that little audio when the guy is listening in the walkie-talkie then you can have this audio level.
(Male Speaker: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,) So, there are lots of little options with equalization. Let me show you the Parametric side of this thing instead of the Graphic side of this thing, and just sort of a different presentation with, in fact, fewer sliders - if you want to call them that - available to you, but with a little bit more control over the frequency range for each slider. Here they are presets, and you can have more or fewer bands, in other words a wider frequency selection here per band, a narrower one here. But if you go to the Parametric, you have much more specific control over each band that you select.
Let me show you that. I'll will turn this one off. Turn this guy off here. Turn this one on. I'll show you the settings. You'll see that is a graph with four Xs here, which implies that there are only four things you can control, but there are two more. There is a Highpass Enable and a Lowpass Enable. So, you have six things that you can control, and each X, when you click on it, has a little range to it. It is called the Q value. You can adjust the Q value, the width of the frequency you are adjusting. So, for example, if I wanted to just drop say the 60Hz range, which I'll show you in a moment, you can just slide over there and then change it very specifically.
Notice it even gives a read out here, and you can narrow the range down or expand it and say how much you want to change. Notice that as I expand it, there are two colors. There is a bright red and a dark red. The dark red is the one you are working on now. That's actually just that specific thing you are working on now, relative to everything else. And the bright red shows you how it effects the overall sound. So right now, we are just changing this one value. You notice that you are changing the frequencies here and how much you are changing in terms of decibels - I am increasing it by 5.9 or 6 - and how wide the Q is.
You can watch that change. All right. On that Band 1. If I click Highpass Enable - that's this level here - you can change that up or down, as well. So, you really have six ways that you can adjust these particular settings, or six settings then you can adjust them all individually, like that. Let's do a preset. Presets here are different, and in fact, you are still doing EQ. So, we'll do a smooth bottom end. It takes the bottom down, basically. I'll just get out of the way. (Male Speaker: We the People of the United States) You can hear it drops that bottom right out.
And it get through what's called the little bit of sibilance right there as well, that 's' sound. That little drop there is a sibilance cut. So, it does a couple of things at once. If you do the sibilance attenuation, you can see it's just that thing that's being adjusted. That's kind of where sibilance is, in the 8000 Hertz range, actually above the highest note on a piano is where 's' sibilance is. Let's just go to one thing here, where I want to increase the high. It is just one little setting, and I want to do a bass booster, of course, since it is my voice, and I want to make it more bass like. (Male Speaker: in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,) Again, I can select this guy.
Notice if I click on it, that's its curve over there, and this is the overall curve. And so as I adjust it, the overall curve adjusts as well. So, we'll give it real big bass boost here. (Male Speaker: insure domestic Tranquility) Okay, so that's Parametric versus Graphic on a male voice. Let's go to a female voice, and we'll try the same thing. We'll start with the Graphic, which is that slider thing. We'll do a preset for her. Since we have a Male boost, let's do a Female boost. And we'll show you the settings. And with the female boost you can see it raises this end of the frequency range, the higher end.
(Woman singing: When the sun sets on the water's edge) Let me do it with it and without. I'll turn it off in a second here. (Woman singing: When the sun sets on the water's edge, a sky of yellow blue and) So in my ears, in that particular case, I am not really happy with that preset. But let me change it to a different one. She actually has that sort of a deep smoky voice. Let me try the male booster and see how that sounds. (Woman singing: red. I think of the things you said, and in the morning light, having held you through the night.) You can see that actually the male boost for an alto vocal range gives it kind of a nice extra presence that can work on a female as well.
So, that's one way to enhance a vocal there with the EQ Graphic, which you could also do in the Parametric. But I just want to show you that the preset there works pretty well for that person. Let's go to the Parametric, different settings. Again, you have seen this before, but I just want to show you that they are available here as well. And you can make a bright vocal which, again, depends on the person, but it won't work for this particular singer. (Woman singing: Slowly climbing out of bed. I think of the things you said.) But again, this could for something like a telephone conversation. If you want to have someone on your set, or if you are doing some kind of a movie or whatever where someone is talking on the phone, that could be the voice they are hearing on the phone.
(Woman singing: Alone) Because sometimes cell phones don't have very good bass response. Let me move on to working with a bass. Many times, you want to give your bass an extra thump. If you record a bass really well, you probably don't need to give extra thump. But if let's say, after you have done recording you realize "Hm. I really want this bass to just really stand out." So, here is how the bass sounded originally. (Bass playing.) Okay, let's apply an EQ to that, and I'll just click on this guy. Click on a preset.
You have a Male Vocal Boost. That's one thing we can do. But I would rather have a bass boost that's built in, but let's first start with adjusting the settings ourselves, manually to get this thing a bass boost. (Bass playing.) Now if that isn't thumping your floor, nothing else will. Let's go over to the Parametric and use it's preset for the bass booster. Let me show it to you. You can see the bass booster there is it's own the little graphic up there.
Let's hear that one. (Bass playing.) And that's actually a little bit more punch than what we just did manually using the Graphic Equalizer. So, I think if sometimes if you want to give your bass a little punch, go ahead and use the bass boost. Either one these guys will work, but this one has this lovely bass boost built-in, in the terms of the Parametric Equalizer. Let's go to one more thing. We are actually going to remove a sound. I have shown you how to remove noises before, but I want to show you again using this effect and also showing you how to work with just part of the clip. In this particular case, we have got that hum we have heard before.
(Music playing.) So, I want to remove the hum, but the hum only exists in this part of the clip. So, I'll just select this part, right there, and I want to remove the hum, and I want to use the preset, and the Parametric(Advanced) has a preset that works specifically with 60 Hertz, which is what this frequency is for this hum. So, I am just going to go over here and look for that preset, and I am going to be awfully surprised that I don't see the preset for removing a 60 Hertz hum here inside the EQ Parametric, kind of quizzical as to why that is.
But if I do go to the Stereo Rack Preset and click on that, lo and behold, there is that Remove 60 Cycle Hum. And it's a little odd that this would be in a Stereo Rack Preset since it applies to only a single affect, the EQ Parametric effect, but that's where it is if you are looking for that preset. It's not in the EQ effect. It's inside the Stereo Rack. And so, if I didn't have this effect loaded up, clicking this would load it up, but since it's already loaded up, it's just going to load up the preset. Boom! there it is. It says it's now been added, and I go to settings, and there is the 60 Hertz Hum Removal preset already rolling.
Let's just listen to it and see how that works. (Music playing.) And little behold, it's removed that hum. That's a great way to take something out. We have been talking about boosting certain levels, like boosting the bass, or boosting the treble, or giving a male voice a little more presence, or a female voice a little more presence by raising the frequency ranges that work for those voices. But here, we are taking out something by dropping that single frequency, picking only one band here, which is one of the great things about the Parametric EQ. You can select only one band and just drop the heck out of that one band right down there and not touch any other bands.
So there you go, various ways to boost or reduce specific frequencies using either the Parametric EQ or the Graphic EQ.

TOCCOA, Ga. (AP) -- A grand jury in northeast Georgia has indicted two people on hundreds of counts of sexual exploitation of children.
The Stephens County grand jury indicted William Lowell Atkins, 45, and his wife, Anita Dale Atkins, 38, of Martin, Ga., on 512 counts.
The indictment filed Tuesday accuses the two of possessing digital images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The alleged crimes were said to have occurred on June 11, 2004, in Stephens County.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Eddie Staples of the Mountain
Judicial circuit said the images were primarily females, ages 4-16.

On April 8th, I went to two different salons and two different stylists said the reason could have been from the chemical not being processed thoroughly, the chemcial left on too long or the chemical not being washed out thoroughly.
I went back to Regis, both the stylist and the manager agreed that there was breakage. In fact, the manager said she did not know why it would have broke off so bad. I asked her could it have been because the chemical was not washed out completely. She said possibly because I have a long neckline.
She offered me 1 free month of treatments there. I do not want to go back to any of Regis salons. Why? In November 2005, another stylist there at the same location dropped a curling iron in the middle of my forehead. I do realize mistakes happen. That is why I kept coming back to Regis.
On April 9th, I called Regis to let them know my hair was continuing to fall out. The stylist said she could refund my money. I asked the stylist if she was in my shoes, would that be enough for her? She said no.
On April 10th, I called Regis Corp. in Minnesota. I spoke with the person in charge of complaints in NC. She said the stylist agreed there were some issues. Interesting choice of words don't you think? She said she would refund me my money and give me a gift card of $60-$75 to have $10 treatments at any of their salons.
This is not acceptable. Two negligent acts within months of each other? I do not want any of Regis salons to be on my head anymore. At this point, all I was asking for was Regis to refund me my money, tip amount and to pay for me to go to a salon of my choice to get the necessary treatments.
My hair was long, thick and healthy. It did not get that way over night. Even if they gave me what I wanted. I would still be suffering. My hair would still be more damaged than what it was before Regis negligent act.
The customer service person at Regis Corp let me know she was not going to pay for treatments anywhere outside of the Regis salons.
Well, guess what, the damage is worse than I thought. On April 10trh, I went to a salon which gave me a $30 treatment. The stylist told me this treatment work best if I did not put any heat on my hair that day. I am an Afro-American. Not too many of us can wash and go our hair.
The stylist there also showed be strands of hair that were less than half the length they were suppose to be. She told me it was best for me to take it easy on my styling for the next couple of weeks. Extra pressure on my hair could cause even more breakage. She also recommended me 2 products to use on my hair at least 2x a week. The stylist thought it would be a good idea for me to come back to get the $30 treatments serveral times. I ended up spending $91.60 that day alone.
Today is April 12th and my hair is still coming out. It is very brittle. I have had to cancel plans. Today, I will see if I can find a wig to put on. I can not even get extensions. My hair is too weak and the nape of my neck has not enough hair to attach the extensions to.
Well, I want Regis to know that this is not acceptable. Checkout the BBB for Regis in MInnesota. They have a caption that states the Regis takes longer to resolve complaints than most. They even have some unresolved complaints as we speak.
Check out other websites. I printed off 3 pages of Regis complaints at that webiste alone.
I am seeking my money back, Regis to pay for treratments at a salon of my choice, and compensation for pain and suffering. I have literally been in this house since this negligent act occurred with the exception of me going to various salons and getting their opinion.
This negligent behavior has to stop. I am going to take an active stand. Ladies, make sure you check out the salon's reputation before trusting them. This is no small issue.

So earlier today I was half watching dr oz about artificial sweeteners and problems. Ironically tonight I had coffee with Splenda and now my stomach is killing me again. This has been happening off and on for a while but I never connected it to the splend. So wdyt could it be the Splenda? DO artificial sweeteners mess you up?
Artificial sweeteners
Posted 10/15/2012
It doesnt bother me...but I know some people in real life who claim that it gives them headaches or stomach aches.
The only PINK in this house of BLUE !
Posted 10/15/2012
Splenda gives me HORRIBLE stomach aches and headaches. I ate some popcorn once and got a really bad...almost couldn't stand up straight...stomach ache. It hurt for 3 days. It went away and about a week later I had some more popcorn. The same thing happened! I looked at the ingredients and Sucralose (splenda) was the last ingredient. Nasty stuff.
Try stevia or nectresse. They're not artificial.

I love Splenda. I use up to 3 packets, per cup of a coffee (granted, I drink straight espresso out of a beer mug).

The Ford Tractor Repair Manual Models 5640, 6640, 7740, 7840, 8240, 8340 covers tractor models indicated.
Note: this tractor repair manual includes wiring diagrams for all models.
A large number of electrical components can be damaged very quickly using improper procedures and certain alternator components can be damaged by procedures that would not affect a D.C. generator. Observe the following to prevent unnecessary damage.
- Be sure that negative post of all batteries is grounded. This precaution should also be observed when connecting booster battery and charger.
- Never short across any alternator terminal.
- Never attempt to "polarize" alternator.
- Always disconnect all battery ground connections before removing or replacing any electrical unit.
- Never operate an alternator with an open circuit. Be sure that all leads are connected and tightened before starting the engine. Also, be sure that battery cables are not corroded or otherwise damaged leaving an open connection when engine is running.
RandR AND OVERHAUL
The clutch can be unbolted from the flywheel and removed after tractor is split as outlined in paragraph 123. Loosen cap screws attaching pressure plate (5-Fig. 135) to flywheel gradually and diagonally across clutch to prevent distortion of pressure plate. Remove pressure plate and clutch disc (3) from flywheel.
Renew clutch disc if linings are loose, excessively worn, contaminated with oil or if there are signs of overheating due to clutch slippage. If there is evidence of oil or grease on clutch slippage, inspect engine and transmission oil seals for leakage and repair as needed before installing new clutch. On models with hydraulically actuated clutch linkage, the clutch release bearing slave cylinder is also a possible source of oil leakage.

Didn't even tell me how to drain the radiator.
December 13, 2015
I ordered this book because I couldn't find a petcock to drain the antifreeze. If it doesn't have one and you have to remove the radiator to drain it , the book should say so or show you where the drain is.
Pros:Maybe I will use the book for another refrence some day.

Useful, good manual
April 23, 2015
Had the repair information I was looking for. You will have to be a mechanic to understand but I work on my own tractor most of the time so this was very helpful. I am needing to work on the front hub of my 6635. So far, this has given me what I needed, especially for the price.
5 Stars
Thanks for the fast service and free delivery

Great!! look forward to my next purchase

Jimtown Store: Healdsburg, CA
- Location: Healdsburg, California
- Website: jimtown.com
There are antique toys, like folk art carousels, that add to the fantasy. They also stock old-fashioned candies and newer replicas of old toys and lots of things for children, but Jimtown Store is more than antiques, toys and old-fashioned candies. It's also an incredible stop for local foods and unique housewares.
Start with the Jimtown Store Cookbook, a collection of family recipes and classics from Jimtown's years as a catering business and wine country lunch destination. They sell wonderful housemade preserves like membrillo, peach chutney and apple butter. Tucked away on the well-merchandized shelves, you'll discover local olive oils, cheeses, wines and interesting ingredients like Balinese Sea Salt and Long Peppers. Jimtown also makes a line of fresh condiments that work as foundation ingredients for countless recipes.
There's a fun selection of housewares like colorful Mexican oil cloth sold by the yard, metal spatterware for durable outdoor dining, inexpensive cotton napkins in solid colors, reasonably priced stemless wine glasses for everyday use, café mugs decked out with the Jimtown's stylish red truck and a nice selection of candles and gifty items.
Jimtown is a required stop if you're visiting Alexander Valley wineries, a welcome respite from the tasting rooms and a good place to pick up lunch to enjoy on their patio or to take to the next winery. It's also a unique place to shop for gifts. Jimtown is having an evening holiday shopping open house on Thursday, December 7th, complete with refreshments. Can't make it? You can purchase nearly everything in the store online.

Best of 2014: Here's what's making news in the White Rock-East Dallas communities
Photo: CHRIS DERRETT
At the Dallas Children's Theater, giving kids a place to enjoy and explore the performing arts is top priority. "We're not here solely to create the little stars; we're here to develop the whole child," said Robyn Flatt, executive artistic director for the theater. Flatt co-founded the theater with Dennis Vincent. The nonprofit, which now boasts an annual budget of around $3.5 million, was started in 1984 with $500.

So I like how when I comment to an article on my site my comment is 'highlighted' via a darker background than the other comments. Example:
Looking at the source when this happens I see:
<li id="comment-2426" class="comment c3 byuser commentauthor-admin bypostauthor c-y2007 c-m01 c-d11 c-h10 alt">
But I've been unable to understand which class is causing this. I want to know because I want to add this to my asides, which you can a few on my front page right now, so they have the same background, making it clearer that this is an aside, and not a regular article.
So, which class causes the background switch when I post to comments, and where would I add this for the asides to pick this up? I'm using K2 with the K2 Scheme set to spirit/sprint.css. Thanks -fak3r

As Rare continues to roll out behind-the-scenes videos, they've now given us a look at the making of Perfect Dark. I didn't realize how close this game was to being another Bond game, or how the Game Boy Camera was almost used to let players map their faces onto characters! (It was scrapped over fears of dongs.)
Rare Replay: The Kotaku Review
Rare games meant a lot to the people who played them, so a collection of 30 of (most) of their best works should mean a lot to children of the Spectrum ZX, the Nintendo 64 and even the Xbox 360 eras. Combined, they're part of a new collection on the Xbox One that is one of the most extraordinary bundles to ever hit…
Rare Planned a Perfect Dark Spinoff
Rare's creative director, Gregg Mayles, has been going through the company's dusty drawers pulling out old design documents to share on Twitter.
This Is Not How I Remember Perfect Dark On N64
Remember Perfect Dark? The N64 spy shooter that was a lot like Goldeneye because it was basically a sequel to Goldeneye? Someone's gone and made it into a horrifying glitched out hellscape.
A Visual History of Attractive Video Game Characters: The 00s
The first years of the new millennium brought us the seventh generation of video game consoles, and with that came a whole new family of attractive men and women. With new evolutions, this decade introduced the start of increasingly realistic-looking characters.
The Perfect Dark That (Thankfully?) Never Was
There was another Perfect Dark game in development at one point, a follow-up to Xbox 360 launch game Perfect Dark Zero that would have been a "more realistic," seemingly grittier version of Rare's first-person shooter.
Monty Python Still Funny In Perfect Dark
This is the classic Monty Python "How Not To Be Seen" sketch re-made using classic Nintendo 64 shooter Perfect Dark, uploaded to YouTube this week.
This Lady Looks Familiar
On Friday, a new Swedish film opens in, wait for it, Sweden. The picture is a parody of cop shows and is called Kommisarie Späck (Detective Blubber). The lead female character doesn't look like she's from police dramas.
Perfect Dark Controls Get A Little More Advanced In April
Southpaws, rejoice, as the Xbox Live Arcade version of Perfect Dark gets new Advanced Control options in the next title update, as seen on Twitter.
Perfect Dark Micro-review: Elvis Has Re-entered The Building
Rare's Nintendo 64 shooter Perfect Dark gets a high-definition makeover for Xbox Live Arcade, the lovely and talented special agent Joanna Dark looking ten years better than she did in her first-person shooter debut. Is Dark still "perfect"?
Joanna Dark Returns, GTA: San Andreas Goes Cheap On XBLA This Week
Perfect Dark keeps Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade Block Party going, with the re-release of Rare's 10-year-old first-person shooter hitting the Xbox 360 this Wednesday. Also, available, damn good deals on Xbox Originals.
Microsoft Prices And Dates The Xbox Live Block Party
Microsoft gets its Xbox Live Block Party started right, scheduling the weekly releases of Toy Soldiers, Scrap Metal, Perfect Dark, and Game Room, with a chance for players to score Microsoft points and a month of Xbox Live Gold.
XBLA Perfect Dark Multiplayer Features GoldenEye Weapons, Levels
In March, an hi-def port of Perfect Dark will be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The port will feature much more than tarted up graphics.
Perfect Dark XBLA Could Get More New Maps, Weapons
The Xbox Live Arcade remake of classic Nintendo 64 shooter Perfect Dark sings on the Xbox 360, mixing the game's original geometry with high-definition graphics and a silky frame rate without tinkering with the unique controls.
Perfect Dark XBLA - Before And After
A trio of comparison shots show us just how far Perfect Dark's graphics have traveled during their journey to Xbox Live Arcade.
Perfect Dark XBLA: Re-Skinned Elvis Has Entered The Building
Three new screenshots for the Xbox Live Arcade remake of Rare's Perfect Dark have surfaced on the developer's website, showing off some re-skinned weapons and a new look for Joanna Dark's Maian pal, Elvis.
Perfect Dark XBLA Looks Sharp, No Expansion Pak Required
Rare's Nintendo 64 first-person shooter Perfect Dark is coming to Xbox Live Arcade later this year. Winter, says Microsoft. This is what it looks like.
Perfect Dark Coming To XBLA This Winter
Microsoft's Larry Hryb just posted a little note on his Twitter account, saying that the original Perfect Dark - originally released on the N64 - will be out on Xbox Live Arcade later this year.
Forza 3 Event Spits Out Another Perfect Dark Tease
Last week's Xbox 360 event in Sao Paolo, which teased Forza 3, also spun off another rumor tidbit: That pic, sent over to Destructoid, which is the second in-the-wild sighting of Perfect Dark on XBLA.

Moderate Advancement
In 2014, Moldova made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government updated its list of hazardous occupations and activities prohibited for children and raised the compulsory education age to 18. The Government also took action to improve its policy framework by passing the sixth consecutive National Plan for Preventing and Combatting Human Trafficking, which develops a guide for improving prevention efforts, referral mechanisms, and support services for child victims of human trafficking. The Government also launched a new hotline to provide information and register complaints for children experiencing violence, neglect or exploitation, including exploitation through child labor. However, children in Moldova are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture, and in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation sometimes as a result of human trafficking. Funding for the State Labor Inspectorate (SLI) was not sufficient and the Inspectorate's efforts to enforce child labor laws were hindered by barriers to conducting unannounced inspections. While the Government provides some financial support to programs addressing child labor, including human trafficking, most major child labor programs have been donor funded. These programs do not appear to be sustainable without outside financial assistance.
Children in Moldova are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture. Children are also engaged in the worst forms of child labor in commercial sexual exploitation sometimes as a result of human trafficking.(1-5) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in Moldova.

Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Commercial sexual exploitation and forced begging each sometimes as a result of human trafficking (3-5, 9)
* Evidence of this activity is limited and/or the extent of the problem is unknown.
‡ Child labor understood as the worst forms of child labor per se under Article 3(a)–(c) of ILO C. 182.
Child trafficking continues to be a concern in Moldova. Both boys and girls are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation within the country through brothels, saunas, and massage parlors, whereas girls are also trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation transnationally.(5, 10)
The latest national study on the situation of children in need and those whose parents work abroad, conducted in 2012, reveals that 105,270 (approximately 15 percent) of children have one or both parents working abroad.(1, 3) Children left behind by migrant parents, especially those who are institutionalized in orphanages or in boarding schools, may be particularly vulnerable to child labor and human trafficking.(5, 11-13)
Although the Education Code provides for free and compulsory education until age 18, parents are sometimes asked to pay informal fees for supplies and textbooks. Education-related costs and lack of transportation to school make it challenging for Roma children, in particular, to access education.(5, 12, 14-16)
Moldova has ratified all key international conventions concerning child labor (Table 3).

In 2014, the Government adopted Decision No. 541 to update and improve its list of hazardous work activities prohibited for children. The new list includes an extensive number of occupations and working conditions considered harmful for children in over 30 categories.(19, 30, 31) It also includes provisions regulating the weight limits for lifting and moving heavy loads.(19, 30, 31)
During the reporting period, the Government adopted a new Education Code that increases the compulsory education age from 16 to 18. The Ministry of Education also issued a decision that prohibits students from working in agriculture during the school year.(30, 31)
In January 2014, the Law on the Special Protection of Children at Risk and Children Separated From Their Parents entered into effect. Through Decision No. 270, the Government adopted procedures for interagency cooperation on the identification, evaluation, assistance, monitoring, and registering of vulnerable children, including victims of exploitation and human trafficking.(30-33)
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
State Labor Inspectorate (SLI) within the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Family (MLSPF)
Enforce all labor laws, including child labor laws. Investigate cases with possible labor law violations, including those that relate to children.(3, 30) Manage the National Referral System (NRS) and lead victim rehabilitation efforts.(13)
Multidisciplinary Teams
Act on a local level to identify children involved in the worst forms of child labor, provide better alternatives to child laborers, continue to monitor the living conditions of identified children, and use the collected information for policy development. In 2014, the teams were extended to every district in the country.(3, 30, 31)
Ministry of Internal Affairs (MOIA)
Enforce criminal laws against child trafficking and sexual exploitation. Have officers dedicated to child protection and child labor.(3)
The Center for Combating Trafficking in Persons (CCTIP), subdivision of MOIA
Lead criminal investigations and arrest the perpetrators involved in trafficking of persons, including trafficking of children.(3) In 2014, CCTIP was reorganized into three investigative sections specializing in combating trafficking in persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation; labor exploitation and begging; and child trafficking for the removal of organs, tissues, and cells.(13, 30)
Service for Information and Security (SIS)
Enforce criminal laws against child trafficking and sexual exploitation through cooperation and exchanging information with CCTIP.(3)
Prosecutor General's Office (PGO)
Conduct and oversee criminal investigations of cases, including the worst forms of child labor exploitation; prosecute cases of worst forms of child labor in court and at the Supreme Court of Justice; and represent the rights of child victims in cases when their civil rights are violated.(32) Employ seven prosecutors to deal with trafficking in persons cases as well as trafficking of children cases.(30) Composed of 36 prosecutorial offices throughout the country, which have prosecutors specialized in handling of child trafficking cases.(3, 32)
The National Council for the Protection of Child Rights within the National Commission for Consultation and Collective Bargaining
Inform and provide consultation to members of the National Commission for Consultation and Collective Bargaining's members about the worst forms of child labor and protecting child rights.(1)
The Parliamentary Ombudsman
Promote the UN CRC and defend the constitutional rights of children. Request cooperation from public authorities and public institutions on child protection issues.(3)
Ministry of Justice (MOJ)
Enforce criminal laws against child trafficking and sexual exploitation.(3) Draft, consult, and propose all processes related to legislation for the Government's approval before they enter in force.(32)
Law enforcement agencies in Moldova took actions to combat child labor, including its worst forms.
Labor Law Enforcement
The State Labor Inspectorate (SLI) employs 109 staff members, with 22 officers stationed in the central office and 87 posted in 10 regional branches.(3) Two additional labor inspectors staff the Child Labor Monitoring Unit (CLMU).(31) All SLI inspectors are trained according to the national curriculum on combating child labor, developed with support from ILO-IPEC.(30, 31) For 2014, SLI's total budget was $776,000.(30) The Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Family (MLSPF) noted that the amount of funding allocated to conduct inspections is insufficient.(30, 31)
From January to November 2014, SLI conducted 6,190 inspections of over 5,500 businesses.(30, 31) Law permits the inspectorate to conduct desk reviews and on-site child labor inspections in both legally registered workplaces and on private farms.(17) However, SLI may not conduct an unannounced site visit unless it receives a petition from a working child or the child's parent. In the majority of cases, SLI is required to give 5 days' notice prior to entering a workplace, which reduces the effectiveness of the inspections.(30) In 2014, SLI launched the Automatized Information System, which will improve data collection on labor law enforcement, including disaggregated data on the number of child labor violations detected.(31) According to MLSPF, in 2014, inspectors discovered 15 minors employed in violation of labor laws and 4 who were involved in hazardous work activities prohibited for children.(31) All 19 children were removed from work and assisted by the Government.(30, 31) During the reporting period, SLI inspectors issued citations for nine child labor law violations. Moldovan courts levied fines in 5 cases, with the total amounting to $2,500.(30)
Criminal Law Enforcement
In 2014, the Center for Combating Trafficking in Persons (CCTIP) employed 43 officers to investigate cases of child trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. In addition, the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) assigned 7 prosecutors to handle trafficking in persons cases.(30) During the reporting period, a total of 4,023 specialists, including members of Multidisciplinary Teams, judges, prosecutors, border police officers, and criminal investigators, received training on issues related to the worst forms of child labor, especially human trafficking. The Government also provided specialized training on interviewing techniques for child victims and witnesses of abuse and sexual exploitation.(30)
During the reporting period, law enforcement officials investigated 24 cases of potential child trafficking and identified 26 child victims.(13) In October, the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Family (MLSPF) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MOIA) adopted a standard referral form to register all suspected cases of violence, neglect, exploitation, and trafficking of children.(30) Law enforcement officials ensure that potential victims of child trafficking receive appropriate social services through the country's National Referral System (NRS).(13) Child victims may be placed in rehabilitation clinics, shelters, foster care, or with relatives depending on the situation. Shelters provide medical, legal, social, and psychological support.(3, 13) The Government assisted 15 child victims during the reporting period.(13)
In 2014, officials brought seven child trafficking cases to trial, which resulted in the conviction of nine individuals for human trafficking offences. Of the nine convicted, eight human traffickers are currently serving jail time.(13) However, despite efforts to improve the prosecution of perpetrators of human trafficking, there is evidence that corruption in the judicial system continues to constrain the Government's ability to enforce laws related to the worst forms of child labor.(13)
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 National Steering Committee on the Elimination of Child Labor (NSC)
Coordinate work on child labor issues at the national level between representatives from workers' organizations, NGOs, academia, and the following government agencies: the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Family (MLSPF); the Ministry of Education (MOE); the Ministry of Agriculture and the Food Processing Industry; the Ministry of Finance; the Ministry of Health (MOH); the Ministry of Interior (MOI); the Ministry of Youth and Sports; the State Chancellery; the State Labor Inspectorate (SLI); the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO; and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).(3)
Child Labor Monitoring Unit (CLMU)
Supervise national-level activities related to combating child labor and serve as a coordinating mechanism between NSC at the national level and multidisciplinary teams at the local level.(3, 31)
The National Committee for Combatting Trafficking in Persons (NCCTIP)
Coordinate the Government's overall efforts to prevent and combat TIP.(3) Chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration (MFA) and includes representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MOIA; the MLSPF; the MOH, the MOE, the Ministry of Finance; the Ministry of Youth and Sports; the Border Guard Service; the Security and Information Service (SIS); the PGO; the Secretary of the Supreme Security Council; the Governor of the Gagauz Autonomous Region; the General Police Inspectorate; the State Labor Inspectorate (SLI); and the Bureau for Relations with Diaspora within the State Chancellery.(13)
The Permanent Secretariat (PS) under NCCTIP

Coordinate activities related to the protection of victims and potential victims of human trafficking. Build the capacity of Multidisciplinary Teams at the local level to improve victim identification and referral for crisis intervention and rehabilitation.(35) Comprised of community social assistants, police officers, and NGO workers.(35)
Despite the important coordinating role of the National Steering Committee on the Elimination of Child Labor (NSC), the NSC did not meet in 2014 to discuss child labor issues. This may impact the overall efforts to combat child labor, including its worst forms, on a national level.(3, 30)
In 2014, the Government of Moldova issued a decree to institutionalize the Permanent Secretariat (PS) under the National Committee for Combating Trafficking in Persons (NCCTIP), establishing four permanent staff positions and providing full funding for the first time.(13)
The Government of Moldova has established policies related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 7).
Table 7. Policies Related to Child Labor
The National Action Plan on the Prevention and Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor (NAP) (2011–2015)
Outlines 44 objectives to be implemented by 30 stakeholders to eliminate the worst forms of child labor by specific deadlines. Includes plans to institutionalize a child labor monitoring system in Moldova, increase access to education, provide rehabilitation and reintegration support for children withdrawn from child labor, and raise awareness on child labor issues in nine districts.(3, 31, 36) In 2014, the Government achieved one objective through the launch of the Automatized Information System for registering child labor violations.(30)

Seeks to bring the Moldovan child protection system into compliance with international standards. Sets three general objectives for improving the situation of children: development of necessary conditions for raising children in families; preventing and combating violence, neglect, and exploitation of children; and assisting working parents in the upbringing and development of children.(30, 40)
* Child labor elimination and prevention strategiesdo not appear to have been integrated into this policy.
† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
In 2014, the Government of Moldova funded and participated in programs that include the goal of eliminating or preventing child labor, including its worst forms. The Government has other programs that may have an impact on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 8).
Table 8. Social Programs to Address Child Labor
Free, Strong, and Safe to a Better Child Protection System*
UNICEF and OAK Foundation-funded program implemented by the National Center for Prevention of Child Abuse (CNPAC) and the Center for Information and Documentation on Child Rights (CIDDC), in partnership with several government ministries, that aims to develop an integrated education and social assistance system for the protection of vulnerable children, including victims of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Aims to improve prevention, identification, referral, and protection mechanisms.(3, 41)
Combatting child trafficking project
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)-funded project implemented by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Family (MLSPF), and local NGOs to prevent child trafficking by providing professional and life skills training to at-risk children without parental care in 12 residential schools across 10 regions. In 2014, the project was extended to Transdniestria.(42)
UNICEF-Government of Moldova Country Program (2013–2017)*‡
Government and the United Nations program to improve social inclusion of vulnerable children and their families and to promote social change for child rights. Focuses on children affected by migration, Roma children, and child victims of sexual exploitation and abuse.(30, 43)
Ajutor Social Program*‡
Government and the World Bank cash benefit program that targets the poor.(44, 45)
Strengthening the Effectiveness of the Social Safety Net Project (2011–2016)*
$37 million, World Bank-funded project implemented by MLSPF to improve the country's social safety net through expanding and strengthening the Ajutor Social Program, among other things. Provides social assistance based on household income to reach the poorest population.(32, 46, 47)
Education Assistance Programs*‡
Government program that seeks to improve access to education by providing a monthly payment of $27 for a period of up to six months to cover the cost of school supplies for children from vulnerable families.(31) In 2014, the Government of Moldova allocated approximately $487,000 for this purpose, and the municipality of Chisinau allocated $303,000. Amount per child varies slightly across the regions depending on local administration budgets.(32, 41)
Financial Assistance Program*‡
Government and donor-funded program that provides financial assistance to poor families with children in installments of approximately $32 per month for a maximum of 6 months or as a lump sum of approximately $192. Financial assistance is mandated through Government Decision No. 780, passed in September 2014.(3, 30, 41)
Children in Moldova are Cared for in Safe and Secure Families Program (2014–2017)†
$4.4 million, USAID-funded project implemented by Partnerships for Every Child that aims to build the capacity of MLSPF and the Ministry of Education to strengthen national child protection systems. Includes the objective of supporting children living in institutions, family-based care, and group homes to attend school.(30, 48)
Child Helpline†
Donor-funded telephone support service for children, implemented by the international NGO "La Strada and managed by MLSPF. Provides psychological counseling and information to parents, caregivers, and children who may be experiencing violence, neglect or exploitation.(31, 49) In 2014, operators answered a total of 1,300 calls and provided counseling for 488 adults and 414 children. There were no calls specifically related to child labor.(31)
Shelters for victims of human trafficking‡
Government-funded shelters for TIP victims in seven locations throughout the country, some of which provide specialized services for children. Offer accommodation as well as rehabilitation and reintegration services.(13) In 2014, the government increased funding for shelters from $373,295 in 2013 to $517,195.(13)
* The impact of this program on child labor does not appear to have been studied.
† Program was launched during the reporting period.
‡ Program is funded by the Government of Moldova.
While the Government of Moldova provides some financial support to programs addressing both child labor and trafficking, most major child labor programs operate with significant donor funding. These programs do not appear to be sustainable without outside financial assistance.(1, 3)
Based on the reporting above, suggested actions are identified that would advance the elimination of child labor, including its worst forms, in Moldova (Table 9).

Hi there,
Great idea of a plugin, definitely very useful.
Two questions:
I am working with custom post types - are they supported?
Users can register on my site through the front end and are able to create new posts (custom post types) via front end - will this still post to their FB timeline?
Many thanks,
