Koss RUK 30K Noise Isolating In-Ear Stereophone, Black
"I tested it with Dr.Chesky's Binaural album and Depeche Mode flacs. What I like most is of course bass response..it is more than enough, maybe a bit exaggerated, aggressive.

django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy needs __add__ support

Description (last modified by ramiro)
The model fields defined in django.contrib.auth.models (and I assume other parts of django) use django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy to specify the label (or another property from which the label is derived). The form field objects generated by form_for_* and ModelForm on these models return a django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object instead of a unicode object where ugettex_lazy is not used.
I have a few helper template tags which are trying to alter the form field label with a concatenation, which is throwing an error for form_for_model and ModelForm forms for django.contrib.auth.models.User (and other django/contrib models that use ugettext_lazy).
As the documentation doesn't recommend or require the use of ugettext_lazy in it's examples and tutorials when defining models and forms, this inconsistent behaviour seems less than ideal. If django.utils.functional.__proxy__ could be changed with an __add__ (and other?) methods to behave more like a string/unicode object, that would be good?

This is true, but for the case of models, this is suggested in the I18N docs: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/#lazy-translation and further down there is a section devoted to working with this kind of objects (and it included using them in combination with string/unicode objects): http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/#working-with-lazy-translation-objects.

Many magic methods aren't supported by lazy proxies - the solution is if you have something that might be a lazy proxy, coerce it to what you need so you know what you're dealing with. "Blah" + unicode(foo) is not significantly more onerous than "Blah" + foo.
(Also, it appears that foo + "blah", where foo is a lazy proxy, works fine. It's the other direction that doesn't seem to work, so it's really __radd__ that would be needed.)

However, the url generated by that link comes up as "http://www.talgard.com/kalem/~talgard.com/public_html/kalem/index.php?paged=2" when it should read "http://www.talgard.com/kalem/index.php?paged=2" all other links on the site work fine, it is just this one. How do I correct this?

Living in the big city, we're no strangers to clogged pores. That's because dirt, debris, and pollution get past even the most diligent cleansing routine and bury themselves deep beneath the skin's surface. Luckily, urban toxins are no match for this hard-working mask. It harnesses the purifying power of natural charcoal, ridding our skin of pesky impurities and giving us a much more radiant complexion. While charcoal pulls stubborn pore-cloggers to the surface, white china clay and lecithin work together to dissolve any remaining impurities.
Not only did it not do anything, it sank into my pores. Once in my pores, it was impossible to get out without harsh scrubbing. Really, it was hard to get off my entire face without rough scrubbing. So, not only did it not help, it probably gave me some new wrinkles thanks to the abuse I had to put my skin through to get it off.1
I have only tried the product once but I wasn't too thrilled with it, maybe because I have another mask that is similar and I like that one better. Its easy to use but I didn't notice much of a change in my skin after washing it off. I will try the rest of the sample and see if I notice anything.3

The Restorer by Amanda Stevens - Romance>Fantasy
Never acknowledge the dead.
Never stray far from hallowed ground.
Never get close to the haunted.
Never, ever tempt fate.
My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father...until now.
Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the headstone symbols lead me closer to truth and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.

Emergency Fire Closure for Green Ridge Fire
SISTERS- The Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest is implementing emergency fire closure to protect public and firefighter safety as crews continue to work on the Green Ridge Fire, near Camp Sherman, OR.
Beginning today the public will not be allowed in the closure area and on certain roads and trails around the perimeter of the area until the emergency closure is lifted.
The emergency closure includes the area defined by the roads listed and the roads themselves (map attached):
· From the junction of Forest Roads 11 and 1120 north along Forest Road 1120 to its intersection of Forest Road 14,
· North along Forest Road 14 to its intersection with Forest Road 1490,
· Northeast and then southeast along Forest Road 1490 to its intersection with Forest Road 1140,
· South along Forest Road 1140 to its intersection with Forest Road 1154,
· East along Forest Road 1154 to its intersection with Forest Road 1150, and, finally,
· South along Forest Road 1150 to its intersection with Forest Road 11, where the closure began.
Key areas included in the closure include the East Metolius Trail, Lower Bridge Campground, Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery, Allen Springs Campground, and Pioneer Ford Campground.
The closure will remain in place as long as it is needed to provide for public and firefighter safety during firefighting activities on the Green Ridge Fire. The Green Ridge Fire is approximately 150 acres and is 0% contained. It is burning on the steep slope below the ridgeline, and has been burning uphill to the east. The steep terrain is making access difficult and hazardous for firefighters. Helicopter bucket drops on the fire are expected to continue throughout today.
For more fire information contact the media desk at Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center at 541-416-6811. Or follow on Twitter @CentralORFire.
Jones Road, full road closure between Bennington Lane and NE Butler Market Road. May 18 – August 18, local access only.
Orion Drive closed in two locations for sewer work; at the intersection with Avery Lane and between Desert Woods Drive and King Hezekiah Way. From July 11 to Sept. 6. Detours marked.
Valhalla Sewer Relocation Project, Mt. Washington Drive at Shevlin Park Road intersection and North to Regency Street. Nighttime closures with detours marked during roundabout construction. Daytime closures for construction towards Regency Street. 7 p.m. – 7 a.m., July 11 – November.

Angel Tree
Each year St. Luke's partners with a local school organization to bring Christmas to families in need.
This year's Angel Tree sponsorship program is in partnership with the Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP). PEP has the mission to transform inmates and executives by unlocking human potential through entrepreneurial passion, education and mentoring. Their groundbreaking results include a return-to-prison rate of less than 10%, an employment rate of 100% within 90 days of release and over 200 businesses (6 of which will gross $1MM in 2015) launched by graduates of the PEP program.
By participating in Angel Tree this year, you are ensuring the child(ren) of a graduate of PEP receives gifts this Christmas that will keep them connected to their father and serve as a tangible reminder of his love for them--and our heavenly Father's love for us. In addition to their father's already demonstrated path to change, the gifts these children receive will bring them a step closer to reconciliation and family reunification.
Your family has the opportunity to be a sponsor:
To pick up a sponsor packet, please visit the Sanctuary Hallway on Sundays, November 8, 15 or 22.
Please be generous but reasonable in the amount you spend. Some children come from the same family; we need to ensure all of the children feel equally special on Christmas day. We believe $75 is a reasonable amount.
Please, DO NOT wrap the gifts.
Please drop your gifts off no later than WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 at 5 p.m. in the designated receptacles throughout the church.
Please bag your gifts and tag the bag(s) with the labels you'll receive when you sponsor your child (trash bags work very well for this purpose).
Please include a gift receipt for items when possible.
If you'd like, feel free to include a gift card to a grocery store with your gift; that could make this season even more special for the caregivers of these children.
Other ways to help out:
Give a monetary gift to help cover the cost of the party, food, and supplies. Checks can be made out to St. Luke's, with "Angel Tree" in the memo, and dropped in the offering plate or mailed to P.O. Box 22013 Houston, TX 77227
Volunteer to be a shopper for any additional supplies needed for the Angel Tree Party.
Volunteer at the Gift Wrapping Party on December 5.
For more information:
For more information about any of these opportunities, please contact Erica at or 713-357-4471.
Need Ideas of What to Shop For?
We are asking that sponsor families spend no more than $75 per child. While each child supplied us with a wish-list, some of the things they asked for may be more than the suggested amount, which requires us to be creative in what we give them. Here are some helpful suggestions, by age:

Tuesday, october 14, 2008. (AP) -- Clemson's new interim head coach Dabo Swinney has announced new duties for some members of his offensive coaching staff.
Clemson's offense has sputtered this season, leading to much of the criticism that led former coach Tommy Bowden to step down Monday. About an hour after being named interim coach, Swinney fired offensive coordinator Rob Spence.
Swinney said in a news release Tuesday that he will take over the offensive coordinator duties and will call plays with Billy Napier, who had been the tight ends coach. Napier will now coach quarterbacks.
Graduate assistants Jeff Scott and Mike Dooley will be promoted to full-time positions. Scott will coach wide receivers and Dooley will coach tight ends. Scott is the son of Clemson offensive line coach Brad Scott.

Try horchata !08/23/2003
First time to this Taqueria Maria chain but we've been to other TM (on Sullivan Ave) several times. The TM on Sullivan Ave is newer, cleaner and has brighter lighting. We ordered veggie taco and burrito mojado - comes with a basket of nacho. Humongous burrito - almost the size of pound cake. Worth it when you're hungry. The taco portion is big - same as the other Mexican place we like to go (see Zona Rosa review) but not as tasty. Their salsa is ok, not that great. Good thing here is that TM has horchata, a very unique and famous Mexican beverage which is made from rice and cinnamon. TM also has other refreshing juice such as tamarind, strawberry and cantaloupe. Soda is free refill. The employees are polite. Street parking or park at the back of the building on the other side across Mission St.

So you got a little (over) excited at last night's karaoke bash and belted out Fun's hit tune "We Are Young" again and again, late into the night. Come morning, you're neither looking so young nor feeling so fun. Thankfully, this brightening, botanical-packed moisturizer deflates puffiness and boosts hydration for an instant pick-me-up.
I started using this moisturizer along with the Checks and Balances face wash from Origin. So far they are working great together. My skin is clearer. The few little break outs I had have cleared up. I love the smell, it is fresh with a little citrus. My skin feels smooth and not greasy. And a little goes a long way.1
I really like Origins as a brand, but there are some products that work for me and some that don't. This is in the second category. I think a lot depends on your specific skin tone and color. So, I would definitely recommend requesting a sample first prior to buying a full version. I like the idea of illumination, and it does make you feel more energized (near your eyes). For those people whose dark circles are caused by not enough moisture, than this will definitely help.1
I've been using this for 6 months, and all it does it make my undereyes look dark and shiny instead of dark and matte. The moisturizing it gives me is okay, but I have to wait quite a while for it to stop being tacky enough that I can put my makeup on over it. Plus once I do, I find my makeup caking. I really wanted to love this, but it just didn't do anything for me.2
After reading all of the reviews for this product I really wanted to love it, but I have to say that this moisturizer is just plain "average."
First of all, this moisturizer did not absorb very well. I would apply the product and 20 minutes later there would still be a slightly tacky residue left on my face. I have also noticed that this product does not moisturize very deeply and has left my skin dry on many occasions. I would recommend this product if you are looking for a very light day moisturizer.
One thing that I did really enjoy about this product is the delicious, orangey scent! It was very fragrant but was never overwhelming.
Bottom line: Avoid if your skin tends on the drier side, great smell, may leave tacky residue
I bought the full size version of this without sampling because I was in desperate need of a moisturizer and I felt like I generally trusted the brand. This was the worst purchase I've made on BB, which goes to show that the sample model works. The smell of this moisturizer reminds me of orange candy. It's something I'd give to a kid--not sophisticated at all. This may be in my head, but I also feel like because the smell is so artificial, I am smearing a bunch of chemicals on my face. I would return if it weren't a hassle.2
I have fair, sensitive, combination skin. I liked the scent of this moisturizer and the light texture that makes it glide onto skin comfortably. I wanted to love this moisturizer. However, after only a couple of uses my entire face reacted with a rash-like breakout. So, something in it did not agree with my skin. Disappointed.2

Perfect Country Hotel
Very well appointed and maintained.
We stayed in "Amelie", it was a traditional, very tastefully, decorated room but the minor complaint was the bed encroached into the wardrobe space meaning the doors and drawers couldn't be used on that side very easily. As we were only staying one night it didn't present too many problems. Swimming pool, in a seperate building, was really warm, there were Spa treatments available in the hotel, but no sauna or steam room in the spa. Beautiful gardens and grounds with a small NT garden centre onsite. Be aware if you want to go into the NT part of the house, double check if it is open on a Wednesday if that coincides with your schedule.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
The transaction had become non refundable from the location that accepted the cash on 9/14. The store Manager Vicky Rodgers had informed us the return must come from corporate and there is no one we can talk to about expediting the process. She assured she had already talked to every one whome needed spoke to and there was no one else to speak to . We simply have to wait the 7 to ten days with no bed and no money. Today is 10/13/2012 still no refund has been issued. Rental fees are occurring and I am now launching the bbb complaint and requesting the rental fees be reimbursed as well.
This woman has even tried to assure me when inquiring about the refund that even though it is against my religious belief to sleep on used bedding that she had imparted this useful information to my wife that there was a savings in purchasing a used bed and actually believed I should believe my wife came in with my money to buy a bed she knew I would blatantly refuse to sleep on.
Per Vicky once the cash leaves your hand and she rings it up there are no refund the money must be deposited and cash refunds must be returned in 7 - 10 days from corporate. 28 days later no refund no bed and rental fees incurred thanks the the gross neglect and dishonesty of a Mattress Firm area manager Vicky Rogers. Her managment skills as the area manager of this region have managed to collect my money dishonestly for used merchandise believed to be new. Than refusal of refund followed by 28 days of waiting and excused why it still has never arrived .
I would warn all to avoid the mattress firm they are deceptive dishonest and willing to sell you a dirty used dust mite infested skin lice covererd bed for the price of a new one . And if you dont acet the garbadge they try to make you accept as new. They refuse to give back the money.

Moderate Advancement
In 2014, Albania made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government participated in and supported the publication of the first national assessment of street children in Albania, providing valuable data on the demographics and work activities of street children. The National Council for the Protection of Children's Rights also held its first meeting after having remained inactive since its launch in 2011. The Government also trained labor inspectors, police officers, prosecutors, and judges on human trafficking issues. However, children in Albania are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture, and in the worst forms of child labor, including in forced begging. The Government does not have sufficient resources to enforce laws on child labor, including its worst forms. In addition, programs to combat child labor are insufficient to adequately address the extent of the problem.
Children in Albania are engaged in child labor, including in agriculture.(1-6) Children are also engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in forced begging.(3-7) During the reporting period, the Government supported the publication of the first national assessment of children living and working on the street in Albania.(5) The report showed that the most common forms of street work among these children are vending, begging, and busking. The majority of children interviewed (96 percent) reported family income generation as their reason for engaging in street work.(5) Data also showed that 74.3 percent of street children belong to the Roma and Egyptian communities, indicating that a disproportionately high number of children working on the street belong to ethnic minority groups.(5) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in Albania. Data on some of these indicators are not available from the sources used in this report.
Table 1. Statistics on Children's Work and Education
Working children, ages 5 to 14 (% and population):
4.6 (23,665)
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: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2015.(8)
Source for all other data: Understanding Children's Work Project's analysis of statistics from National Child Labour Survey (NCLS), 2010.(9)
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
Farming,* activities unknown (1-6)
Working in the textile,* garment,* and footwear* sectors (2, 4, 6)
Street work, including vending, washing vehicles, busking, and shining shoes (2, 5, 15)
Collecting recyclable materials on the street and in landfills (5, 16)
Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Used in illicit activities, including drug trafficking, drug couriering, and harvesting and processing cannabis* (2, 4, 5, 17)
Commercial sexual exploitation sometimes as a result of human trafficking (2-5, 7)
Forced begging sometimes as a result of human trafficking (3-7)
* 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.
Albania is a source country for children trafficked abroad to neighboring countries such as Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro, as well as to EU countries for commercial sexual exploitation and forced begging.(2, 18) In addition, research found an increase in internal trafficking and forced begging during the reporting period.(2, 18) Street children were at the greatest risk of becoming victims of human trafficking. Ethnic minority children from the Roma and Egyptian communities make up the majority of child trafficking victims.(2-5, 7) Unaccompanied minors from northern Albania moving to Belgium, England, France, and Germany during the reporting period were also vulnerable to trafficking and increased in numbers during the reporting period.(18) Approximately 50 percent of trafficking victims in Albania in 2014 were minors.(18)
The majority of children engaged in child labor in Albania work in the agriculture sector. However, there is little information available about the specific work activities in which these children are engaged.(1-5)
Although the Constitution of the Republic of Albania and the Law on Pre-University Education guarantee free public education, children without birth certificates are unable to attend school.(3) The Government registered 141 previously unregistered children in 2014, but residency requirements continue to make it difficult for Roma and Egyptian families in particular to acquire birth registration for their children.(3, 12, 18) Lack of registration often prevents children in this community from accessing education and other social services.(3, 12) Children who do not have access to education and other social services are at an increased risk of exploitation in child labor. In addition, the costs of school supplies and classroom resources are prohibitive for low-income families.(2)
Albania 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

The Government has established laws and regulations related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 4).

*No conscription (26)
Although the minimum age for work is 16, children between the ages of 14 and 16 may be employed during school holidays, provided that the employment is not harmful to their health and development.(19) However, there is no definition of what constitutes permissible school holiday work or the number of hours or conditions that would render employment acceptable.(29)
In October 2014, the Government amended the Law on Compulsory Health Care Insurance in the Republic of Albania to provide victims of human trafficking, including child victims, with free health care. In November, the Council of Ministers passed an additional decision providing trafficking victims with free mental health care.(18)
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) under the Ministry of Social Welfare and Youth
Enforce labor laws, including laws related to child labor and hazardous child labor. File and respond to child labor complaints.(6)
Social Services Agency under the Ministry of Social Welfare and Youth
File and respond to child labor complaints.(6)
General Directorate of Police and Regional Directorate of Police under the Ministry of Interior
Enforce all laws, including child labor and child trafficking laws.(4)
Serious Crimes Prosecution Office
Investigate and prosecute cases involving human trafficking, including child trafficking.(4, 30)
Child Rights Units (CRUs)
Monitor the situation of high-risk children and families at the regional level, coordinate protection and referral activities at the local level, and identify and manage individual cases.(4, 31, 32)
Child Protection Units (CPUs)
Identify children in danger at the municipal level and subsequently refer them to a safe environment, as defined by the State Social Services.(4, 33, 34)
National Referral Mechanism (NRM)
Coordinate the identification, protection, referral, and rehabilitation of trafficking victims between government and civil society organizations. Chaired by the Office of the National Coordinator for the Fight Against Trafficking in Human Beings (ONAC).(18) The NRM met regularly during the reporting period.(18)
Law enforcement agencies in Albania took actions to combat child labor, including its worst forms.
Labor Law Enforcement
In 2014, the State Labor Inspectorate (SLI) employed 98 inspectors.(6) In July 2014, 20 labor inspectors received training on proactive identification and referral of forced labor and labor exploitation cases, with a focus on children.(18) However, a source reported that more training on child labor laws is needed. In addition, a lack of adequate office space, transportation, and training compromises the quality of inspections.(6)
During the reporting period, the SLI conducted 42 inspections of businesses in which children were employed. Inspectors performed both proactive and complaint-based inspections, including unannounced inspections.(6) The SLI identified 28 cases of child labor during these inspections; however, no penalties or citations for child labor law violations were issued.(6, 12) A source reported that the number of inspections was inadequate, given the scope of the child labor problem.(6) In addition, although the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) exists for victims of child trafficking, research found no evidence of a referral mechanism between the SLI or criminal investigators and social service providers for children victims of exploitative labor conditions unconnected with human trafficking.
Criminal Law Enforcement
Nationwide, there are approximately 15 police officers dedicated to child rights, which is inadequate to address the scope of the problem. The Ombudsman of the Government of Albania has recommended that each of the approximately 44 police commissariats have several child rights investigators.(6) During the reporting period, prosecutors, judges, and police officers attended multiple trainings on human trafficking issues, including one on the legal standard of child treatment in the justice system and the protocol for investigation and trial of criminal offences involving children, and another on standards for the protection of victims and witnesses in child sexual abuse cases.(18, 30)
In 2014, the Government reported prosecuting four cases of child labor, resulting in two convictions.(6) One perpetrator was sentenced to 2 years and a second was sentenced to 1 year and 4 months of imprisonment.(6) In addition, as part of a new program to assist street children, 5 individuals were arrested and charged with exploitation of children for begging, and 2 parents were prosecuted for child exploitation.(18) The Government also referred 9 cases of child trafficking to prosecution. The Government tried 3 cases involving child trafficking during the reporting period, resulting in 3 convictions and prison sentences of 10 years or more.(18) Given the scope of the problem, the number of investigations and prosecutions for child trafficking are not adequate. In addition, NGOs report that laws prohibiting the production and possession of child pornography are rarely enforced.(3)
In 2014, the police also launched a large-scale operation in the Albanian town of Lazarat, a hub for marijuana production in southern Albania. This operation is believed to have significantly decreased the number of children working in marijuana production; however, long-term results remain to be monitored.(18)
In 2014, the Government completed the establishment of Child Rights Units (CRUs) in all 12 regions of Albania and increased the number of Child Protection Units (CPUs) to 196, covering half of the territory of Albania.(6) CPUs managed approximately 1,159 cases of at-risk children from January to June 2014, including identifying 490 new cases for the year.(12) However, CPUs and CRUs often receive inadequate funding for child protection, and the Ombudsman has noted that the effectiveness of these units is often low.(4, 6, 30, 35)
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
National Council for the Protection of the Rights of Children (NCPRC)
Coordinate the protection of children's rights, including children involved in child labor. Members include the Ministers of Welfare, Education, Justice, and Interior, as well as representatives from the President's Office and NGOs.(3) Due to a change of government after the June 2013 elections, in October 2014 the NPRC held its first meeting with new members, having remained inactive since it was first launched in November 2011.(6)
Office of the National Coordinator for the Fight Against Trafficking in Human Beings (ONAC)
Coordinate all anti‑trafficking efforts in Albania. Serve as chair of the State Committee Against Trafficking in Persons, a deputy minister-level working group that sets the Government's policy on combating human trafficking. Oversee 12 regional anti-trafficking committees that carry out local action plans in cooperation with civil society partners.(30) In 2014, ONAC held regular meetings with the regional committees, facilitating their adoption of regional action plans. Also in 2014, ONAC received a separate state budget for the first time, allowing the office to independently support its own operations.(18)
The Government of Albania has established policies related to child labor, including its worst forms (Table 7).
Table 7. Policies Related to Child Labor
Action Plan for Children (2012–2015)
Aims to promote comprehensive, harmonized, and coordinated policies of social protection and social inclusion of children; also emphasizes the strengthening of institutional structures set up to monitor and report on the implementation of the rights of children at the national and regional levels. Includes a strategic objective on protecting children from the worst forms of child labor, through strengthening prevention measures and increasing the SLI's role in preventing child labor.(12)
Albanian Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor by 2016
Outlines a plan to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in Albania by 2016.(36) Includes the adoption and implementation of effective legislation and law enforcement to address the worst forms of child labor; the provision of free, quality education for all children; the provision of social protection to families and children in need; and the implementation of labor market policies that promote youth employment and the regulation and formalization of the informal economy.(36)
Strategy for Combating Trafficking in Persons and Action Plan (2014–2017)†
Outlines plan to improve law enforcement, build the capacity of social services programs that provide services to victims, and improve interagency coordination. Includes the goals of increasing successful prosecutions for child trafficking and increasing the sensitivity of the investigation and prosecution processes to the needs of child victims.(37)
National Action Plan for the Decade of Roma Inclusion, (2005–2015)
Strives to improve access to and the quality of social services for Roma communities.(38) Objectives include monitoring cases of child labor exploitation in the Roma community, establishing shelters and day schools for street children, and improving birth registration and access to education for Roma children.(39)
† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
In 2014, the Government of Albania 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
UN Support to Social Inclusion (2012–2016)*
UN program that works with several government ministries to improve implementation of social inclusion by developing informed policies and strengthening institutions.(40)
Help for Families and Children in Street Situations Action Plan†
Program jointly implemented by the Ministry of Social Welfare and Youth and Ministry of Interior to provide social services directly to street children. Teams of social workers and police officers identify child beggars and work with parents to remove children from the street.(6) Since the June 2014 launch of the pilot phase in Tirana, the program has identified 152 street children, removed 52 children from the street, and helped 27 families access social services.(6) Forty-five children were enrolled in and began attending school, and 11 children received accommodations in social care institutions at the request of their parents or after removal from exploitative situations.(18) The Government plans to expand the program from the capital into the regions.(12) The pilot phase in 2014 was donor funded.(6)
National Anti-Trafficking Week†‡
ONAC-funded program to provide a week of events to raise awareness of human trafficking. Included awareness activities with elementary schools and community centers, as well as conferences, television appearances by the National Coordinator, and television, billboard, and digital advertisements.(18)
Trafficking in Persons Helpline and Report and Save Mobile App†
ONAC projects, supported by USAID, UNODC, World Vision, and the Vodafone Albania Foundation, to provide services for victims of crime and improve prevention of trafficking in persons. Includes a national hotline for trafficking in persons victims and the mobile application "Report and Save," which allows citizens to report suspected trafficking cases, raises public awareness, and provides access to information on victim assistance.(18) In 2014, 765 calls were made to the national hotline, of which 39 were registered by the police as reported trafficking cases, and 590 messages were sent through the mobile app.(18)
Albania-UN Program of Cooperation (2012–2016)
UN program focuses on four thematic areas within the Government and civil society: governance and rule of law, economy and environment, regional and local development, and inclusive social policy.(41) Includes goals such as increased access to education for vulnerable children and increased protections for victims of child trafficking.(42)
National Emergency Transition Center
Government-run center established to provide vulnerable families with temporary housing, health, psychosocial and educational services, legal assistance, vocational education programs, and employment placement assistance. Currently houses 53 Roma families, including 112 children.(6) Beneficiaries include children at risk of street begging. To receive benefits, families must keep their children enrolled in school.(4) In 2014, the Government did not provide funding for the center; however, a decision was issued during the reporting period institutionalizing the Center's services and allocating a public budget for the Center for 2015.(6)
National Reception Center for Victims of Trafficking‡
Government-funded, high-security national shelter under the supervision of the Directorate General of State Social Service. Provides shelter and access to social services for human trafficking victims identified in Albania.(43)
Child Allowance Program (Ndihma Ekonomike)*‡
$46 million government-funded cash transfer program that provides a child allowance for families already benefiting from economic aid through Albania's Law on Social Assistance and Services.(6) Although an annual $35 bonus for families who send their children to school and follow the state's vaccination program was established in 2014, child allowance payments to eligible families are still deemed too low to significantly reduce the number of children living in poverty, and therefore are unlikely to have an impact on reducing child labor.(6)
Decent Work Country Program (2012–2015)
ILO technical assistance project detailing the policies, strategies, and results required to realize progress toward the goal of decent work for all. Outcomes include strengthening the effectiveness and quality of labor inspection systems, enhancing the capacity of policymakers to address informal and vulnerable employment of young people, and ensuring that labor laws better adhere to international labor standards, including those on the worst forms of child labor.(44)
* 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 Albania.
Civil society organizations, rather than government organizations, generally provide social services for children engaged in the worst forms of child labor. These civil society organizations often lack well-trained staff and coordination with other protection services, especially at the local level.(4, 35, 45, 46) A source reported that the National Reception Center for Victims of Trafficking lacked proper resources for victim reintegration services such as education, psychological support, and vocational training. In addition, the Government did not provide sufficient financial assistance to the NGO-run shelters in Albania.(18) The only residential shelter specialized in aiding victims of child trafficking closed most of its services for several months due to lack of funding.(18)
Although Albania has implemented programs to assist street children and victims of child trafficking, research found no evidence that it has carried out programs to assist children in agriculture, construction, and mining, or children used in illicit activities.
Based on the reporting above, suggested actions are identified that would advance the elimination of child labor, including its worst forms, in Albania (Table 9).
Table 9. Suggested Government Actions to Eliminate Child Labor, Including its Worst Forms
Suggested Action
Year(s) Suggested
Legal Framework
Define permissible work, including hours and conditions thereof, for children between the ages of 14 and 16 years.
Provide inspectors with adequate training and the tools needed to carry out their tasks effectively.
Increase the number of child labor inspections to fully address the scope of the child labor problem.
Establish a referral mechanism between the SLI and providers of social services to ensure that all children found in situations of child labor receive access to needed services.
Ensure there are an adequate number, nationwide, of police investigators for child rights and that an adequate number of investigations are carried out.
Fully enforce the provisions of the Criminal Code that prohibit the production and possession of child pornography.
Provide CRUs and CPUs with adequate funding to carry out their work effectively.
Social Programs
Conduct research on children working in agriculture and construction to inform policies and programs.
Increase resources, access to civil registration, and the number of social services available to children, including Roma and Egyptian children, engaged in or at risk of engaging in child labor.
Ensure that financial barriers to education, such as the prohibitive cost of school supplies and classroom resources, are removed for families in need.
Increase payments to families who are eligible for assistance under the Social Assistance and Services Law.
Assess the impact that existing programs may have on child labor.
Institute programs to address child labor in agriculture, construction, and mining, and to assist children being used in illicit activities.

Lucretia, our family used 2Afrika for trip in Tanzania in 2002. You might do a search of this board for 2Afrika and also for Tanzania. I left extensive notes in form of trip report. We are considering a return this coming June and am certainly considering that company again. But, we are also considering other companies and this board is a great way to gain insight. As we traveled in 2002 we often noted vehicles and travelers with other higher priced companies staying at same lodges and eating same meals as did we. Thus, I felt we got good value for less money. In any case, enjoy the planning. We may be looking at the same 17 day trip (Kenya/Tanzania) as are you. Dick

I also posted an extensive trip report on 2afrika, that my husband and I took to Kenya in 2002. I loved them, and if I go to Africa again, will book with them again.

My husband and I went on the wangiko safari (I assume that is the one you are considering). We left on June 9, 2003 so fairly recent.
I would unhesitatingly recommend them -
we were amazed at the quality we received for the money we paid.
Lodging was equivalent at least 2 probably 3 star hotel (and spacewise probably more) - the night in Arusha was maybe a bit less, but still more than acceptable, and other locations were better. No TV's or radios in rooms, of course but that was a bonus for us instead of a detraction.
Food was fine - sometimes beef a bit tough etc. but overall very creditable and tasty, always at least some choice, and there was certainly a LOT of it. The vegetarian option was usually curry of some sort (particularly in Kenya) which was always a safe, tasty option if you werent sure about the others.
Guides and vehicles made the trip for us, as did the group of people that we ended up with (wonderful people, cant say enough good things about them).
Our guides tried very hard to find out what we were interested in and to supply "special" information (for example we had a birdwatcher with us so the guide made special attempts to find birds as well as everything else). Vehicles were well maintained, and the guides cleaned them out and made sure they were pleasant for the next days drive. Also, a generous supply of free bottled drinking water was very welcome.
Nairobi was no worse than any other big city (and we were there during the Kenya travel ban). I wouldnt have walked around the streets but the hotel was fine and the (good) restaurant we went to even had a shuttle that collected the 4 of us for about $10USD round trip (Might even have been less). I wouldnt walk around New York at night either, however, so I didnt feel any more threatened than in any other large city I wasnt familiar with.
If you want to see some of our photos from our trip, some of the "highlights" from the Tanzania portion (no comments etc. yet, and we still have to do Kenya....) are posted on our website at http://www3.sympatico.ca/thaynes/
There are some photos of lodges/rooms/vehicles included in the photos a long with the many animals.
Feel free to e-mail me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have more specific questions about our particular trip, and I will do my best to answer.

I've found that the Req is 469, but can't figure out how to find voltage across each individual resistor.
If you could show work or explain (esp. for R3 and R4) it would

My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was eight and it is something that has stuck with me all these years, guess it's like riding a bike, you never forget. Although it was fun to do and over the years I've picked it up a little here and there, nothing was ever really created from my crocheting skills. Now that all my kids have grown and are living outside of the house and I'm home more often I wanted to get back to doing something creative and thought, "It would be fun to learn how to knit". Well that opened up a can of worms because now whenever I see a yarn shop or a beautiful scarf, sweater etc it's like this obsession, I have to make something!
Unlike a lot of people who get into working with yarn I don't have a prejudice towards either knitting or crocheting, they are both loved equally in this house. In a way it's a perfect relationship to have both skills because you can delve into so many more types of projects and be more creative. If you have a strong preference and are either an avid knitter or a colossal crocheting nut I'd like to encourage you to try going to the other side of that fence, in this case the grass is greener when you know how to do both!
My Grandmother also taught me how to sew, in fact I now have the old, black Singer sewing machine she taught me on. Now I'm trying my hand and writing sewing patterns. My husband and I opened up a shop to sell some of these items we make and the patterns too...life is good!
Perfect size for on-the-go quick trips here and there when you don't want to lug around a big heavy diaper bag.This great little bag is just right for having a few diapers and wipes handy and the two large pockets on the outside of the bag can hold tissues, pacifier, keys etc. Hang it on the stroller for easy access.This bag is lined with cotton canvas material so it can be thrown into the wash when needed. Bag measures 9"h x 6"w x 4"d. You will have fun making this extra cute bag!
I will send you the free tissue cover pattern via your email once purchase is complete. Soon I will figure out how to zip it together with the diaper bag pattern and won't have to do that! ha ha

|A fit Nikola Pekovic is of paramount importance to Montenegro's bid for a EuroBasket 2013 spot
By Jeff Taylor
Montenegro have not ruled Nikola Pekovic out of their EuroBasket 2013 Qualification Round campaign despite the national team captain's decision to have surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle.
The 2.09m center has been playing well, but with pain, and wants to bring an end to the problem.
Pekovic spoke to the Minneapolis Star Tribune about his decision to have an operation.
"It's something that will help me to be healthy next season," he said.
"It will help me and my team and everything.
"I know without that trouble, I'll be more calm, not thinking about it.
"And hopefully, not miss any games."
Pekovic has been averaging 13.4 points and 7.10 rebounds in his second season in the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In a five-game stretch early last month, he poured in 20 or more points, reaching double digits in rebounds in three of them.
Pekovic played on Tuesday night in the Timberwolves' 91-84 defeat to Memphis and had 16 points and 11 rebounds.
A date for his operation has yet to be announced.
After the surgery, Pekovic says he'll be in a better frame of mind.
"I'm looking forward to not thinking about this," he said, "like I do every time [the ankle] hurts."
Montenegro will go up against Serbia, Israel, Estonia, the Slovak Republic and Iceland in the EuroBasket Qualification Round and they haven't given up hope that Pekovic can play.
Their first game is at home on 15 August against Israel.
Pekovic will travel to Podgorica and discuss his status with the federation at the end of April, once Minnesota's season has ended.
He is then expected to give official confirmation on whether or not he will be able to represent Montenegro this summer.
"He's going to be here and after that, he'll make a decision," a spokeswoman for the Montenegrin Basketball Federation confirmed to FIBAEurope.com
Pekovic averaged 13 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest at the EuroBasket in Lithuania last year.

U.K. Soccer Fan: Bomb Threat Left 'Children Frightened'
Eligible for parole in seven years after being sentenced Wednesday to 35 years in a military prison, Chelsea Manning dreams of one day returning to school and starting a family.
The soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning, who provided an exclusive statement to TODAY Thursday indicating that she wants to live as a woman named Chelsea, has begun serving her sentence inside Fort Leavenworth's disciplinary barracks. Manning was convicted on 20 counts ranging from espionage to theft for leaking more than 700,000 classified documents to the website WikiLeaks while serving in Iraq in 2010. Manning is already looking toward the future.
"She wants to get a degree,'' Manning's attorney, David Coombs, told TODAY Friday. "She wants to hopefully find somebody that she loves. Get married. Perhaps have a family."
Manning has requested hormone therapy while at Fort Leavenworth, but the Army said in a statement that it does not provide that treatment or sex-reassignment surgery. Manning has not requested surgery.
Related story: For transgender people, a pronoun can be crucial
Within hours of Thursday's announcement about Manning's desire to live as a woman, the phrase "Chelsea Manning" was trending on Twitter worldwide. Reaction ranged from outrage to sympathy.
Former Navy SEAL Chris Beck, now known as Kristin Beck, the author of "Warrior Princess: A U.S. Navy SEAL's Journey to Coming out Transgender," spoke out.
"For this person, whether male or female to use gender identity to act 'BADLY' is a slap in the face to me and everyone who does not fit the 'Binary Gender Norm,' Beck wrote on Facebook. "It is not an excuse for anything illegal or unjust."

Manning's announcement Thursday raised issues of how news organizations covering the story refer to a high-profile transgender individual. Manning, in the statement, asked the public to use the pronoun "she."
The AP Stylebook indicates that news organizations who follow the style "use the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth."
"People need to understand that this is for real,'' Dr. Nancy Snyderman told TODAY. "A person for gender dysphoria wants to live as the other gender. That requires psychiatric evaluation, years of hormone treatment, and sometimes surgery but not necessarily."

The process of buying or selling a self-storage facility has become more rigorous as markets have become more competitive and changes in the economy impact property value. To know the accuracy of a self-storage appraisal, a self-storage owner should have a clear understanding of facility value and the effect of capitalization (cap) rates. A buyer should complete a comprehensive due-diligence process to know if an investment is financially sound.
