Burkina Faso
Significant Advancement
In 2015, Burkina Faso made a significant advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government adopted a revised mining code that includes new provisions prohibiting child labor in mines. The Government also renewed its annual National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking and the National Program for the Fight against Child Labor on Artisanal Gold Mining Sites and Quarries. In an effort to improve data collection efforts related to child labor, the Ministry of Social Action and National Solidarity established a basic integrated data system on child protection that is linked to all 45 Committees for Vigilance and Surveillance throughout the country. However, children in Burkina Faso are engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including in gold mining and cotton harvesting. A lack of labor inspectors and limited resources for the systematic enforcement of child labor laws impede government efforts to protect children from engaging in the worst forms of child labor.
Children in Burkina Faso are engaged in the worst forms of child labor, including gold mining and cotton harvesting.(1-8) Table 1 provides key indicators on children's work and education in Burkina Faso.

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
Planting,* weeding,* and exposure to pesticides*† while harvesting crops, including cotton and mangos* (1, 3-8, 11)
Raising and herding livestock, including cattle* and goats* (5, 11-13)
Mining of gold,† including digging and crushing rock, installing dynamite,† working underground,† carrying water and other heavy loads,† and using cyanide and mercury† (1-3, 8, 12, 14-33)
Quarrying† and transporting heavy loads† while working to extract granite (17, 23, 34-38)
Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor‡
Use in illicit activities,* including drug trafficking* (23)
Commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking* (11, 18, 21, 30, 42, 43)
Agricultural work, including cotton production and livestock raising,* domestic work, begging, gold mining, and work in quarries,* each as a result of human trafficking (3, 5, 6, 41-49)
* 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.
Burkina Faso is a destination, transit point, and source for child trafficking to and from other West African countries.(42, 43, 50, 51) The Government has collaborated with Koranic schools and educators to expose individuals posing as Koranic teachers to force their students to beg in the streets and then take the money the boys collect.(6, 42-44, 48, 52, 53) The practice of confiage, which involves sending a child to live with a relative or friend to attend school in a larger town or city, may place children at risk of being victims of internal human trafficking for the purpose of exploitation.(48)
The Government has acknowledged the need for a national study on the commercial sexual exploitation of children to better understand the issue and to incorporate it into the National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor.(46) A boom in gold mining has contributed to the increase of child labor in this sector, and more children are leaving school to work in gold mines.(5, 8, 16, 54-58)
Although the Law Orienting the Education System mandates free education until age 16, students are required to pay for uniforms and school-related fees.(2, 30, 59, 60) The shortage of teachers and the lack of school infrastructure in rural areas hinder children's access to education.(3, 30, 59) Birth registration is also required for enrollment, which could prevent some children from entering school because about a quarter of the children in Burkina Faso do not have a birth certificate.(61, 62)
In September 2015, the presidential guard seized power from the transitional government, which had been instated when President Blaise Compaoré was forced to step down from power in 2014. The interim government, however, was reinstated the following week, and a new president was peacefully elected and inaugurated in December 2015.(63-74) The disruptions caused by Burkina Faso's political turbulence may have slowed gains and impacted the Government's ability to address child labor during the reporting period.(73)
Burkina Faso has ratified all key international conventions concerning child labor (Table 3).

On June 26, 2015, the National Transition Council adopted a revised mining code that includes new provisions prohibiting child labor in mines. The amendment establishes a penalty of 2 to 5 years of imprisonment and a fine of approximately $8,200 to $41,000 for offenders.(2, 3, 77) The Government also conducted a study to review the existing legislation on hazardous activities prohibited to children, aiming to update the list, but no changes were made during the reporting period.(2)
The Government has established institutional mechanisms for the enforcement of laws and regulations on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 5).
Table 5. Agencies Responsible for Child Labor Law Enforcement
Ministry of Civil Service, Labor, and Social Security (MFPTSS)
Enforce labor laws, including child labor laws.(11, 83) Responsible for establishing government policy to combat child labor, including its worst forms.(57) In the case of provincial committees, responsible for raising awareness, conducting workshops for community members, and enforcement at the local level.(50, 84)
Ministry of Social Action and National Solidarity (MASSN)
Protect children's rights, enforce laws against child trafficking and other worst forms of child labor, remove children from exploitative child labor, and provide reintegration services.(11, 83, 85, 86) Operate a free hotline to report child abuse, including child labor, and conduct awareness-raising activities in all 13 regions of Burkina Faso.(2, 23, 87-89) Operate civil registry offices in maternity wards to register newborn babies.(90) In 2015, established a basic integrated data system on child protection to improve data quality and collection efforts on child labor, including its worst forms.(43) In the case of the National Council for Childhood, oversee all policies for the survival, protection, development, and participation of children.(91)
Ministry of Territorial Administration, Decentralization and Interior Security (MATDSI)
Enforce criminal laws related to child trafficking.(46) In the case of the Morals Brigade in the MATDSI National Police Force, oversee criminal cases involving children and women.(92)

May also call upon the MASSN social workers in charge of child protection to conduct investigations on behalf of vulnerable children, including victims of child trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, exploitative child labor, and begging.(94)
Parliamentary Network for the Promotion of Child Rights
Train government officials on children's rights, including child labor laws and other issues affecting children.(3, 95, 96)
After the presidential elections in December 2015, a new cabinet of ministers was announced; the Government consolidated the Ministry of Gender with the Ministry of Social Action and National Solidarity (MASSN) to form the Ministry of Women, National Solidarity and Family in January 2016.(43)

The Government employs 124 labor inspectors and 108 labor controllers who are in charge of conducting labor inspections; however, the Government indicates it lacks adequate resources to enforce labor laws throughout the country, including the human and financial resources needed to carry out a sufficient number of labor inspections.(2, 43, 83) Both the inspectors and the controllers received initial training at the national school for civil servants. During the reporting period, three inspectors received ongoing training through the ILO training center in Turin on issues such as child labor, human trafficking, and forced child labor.(97)* The Government does not make this information publicly available.
The Ministry of Civil Service, Labor, and Social Security (MFPTSS) publishes an annual report listing 12 types of labor infractions, none of which are related to child labor.(11) No penalties have been applied to employers to date because most children are self-employed. The MFPTSS notes that it is difficult for inspectors to follow up on inspections to ensure the recommendations have been implemented.(99) Law enforcement collaborates on an ad hoc basis with the MASSN to provide social services to child labor victims.(97) It is not known how many cases of child labor were identified as a result of complaints made to the MASSN hotline.
Criminal Law Enforcement
In 2015, criminal law enforcement agencies in Burkina Faso took actions to combat the worst forms of child labor (Table 7).

* The Government does not make this information publicly available.
In 2015, 232 labor inspectors and labor controllers worked with police officers to enforce criminal laws related to the worst forms of child labor; however, this number is insufficient considering the scope of the problem in Burkina Faso.(2, 83) Many provincial committees that assist with criminal law enforcement and raising awareness at the local level were unable to carry out all their planned activities due to a lack of resources.(84)
During the reporting period, 203 provincial directors, social workers, police officers, civil society members, and gendarmes received training on child protection. Judges and law enforcement officials also received training on issues related to the commercial sexual exploitation of children; these training sessions were supported by ECPAT.(43) Members of security forces, judicial employees, and social workers in areas bordering Côte d'Ivoire received training on how to better combat transnational trafficking and track down offenders.(43) As part of its collaboration with Koranic schools and educators, the Government intercepted 7 child traffickers posing as Koranic teachers and rescued 43 children who were destined for agricultural work in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire.(43) The Government relies on coordinating bodies and an official procedural guide to refer victims to social service providers.(43, 97)
The Government has established mechanisms to coordinate its efforts to address child labor, including its worst forms (Table 8).
Table 8. Mechanisms to Coordinate Government Efforts on Child Labor
Coordinating Body
Role & Description
National Coordination Committee for the National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor (CNC-PAN/PFTE)
Supervise, evaluate, and oversee implementation of the National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor. Chaired by the MFPTSS Directorate to Combat Child Labor and its Worst Forms.(11, 12, 83) Includes representatives from 24 government ministries, among which are the MOJ; the MASSN; the MATDSI; the Ministries of Basic Education, Mines, Human Rights, and Health; NGOs; religious communities; the Children's Parliament; civil society organizations; and 6 observers representing donor countries and international NGOs.(11) Hold meetings once a year to review efforts to combat child labor and identify needs.(57, 83)
MFPTSS Directorate to Combat Child Labor and its Worst Forms (DLTE)
Coordinate and lead interagency efforts to combat child labor, including its worst forms; collect information on child labor; and conduct awareness raising activities.(100) Serve as the Secretariat for the CNC‑PAN/PFTE.(93, 100) In 2015, initiated a study to implement an integrated data system on child protection and provided training for field agents in charge of data collection, including follow-up and monitoring efforts.(43, 53)
National Committee for Vigilance and Surveillance Against the Trafficking in Persons and Assimilated Practices (CNVS)
Coordinate actions to combat the worst forms of child labor, including human trafficking, at the national level. Oversee Committees for Vigilance and Surveillance in each of the regions.(43, 50) The MASSN serves as president, and the MATDSI is the vice president.(43, 88) Include representatives from MFPTSS, the MOJ, the Ministry of Women and Gender, and NGOs.(43) In 2015, met to adopt the implementation report of the National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor covering 2001 to 2013 and supported all 45 regional committees through a monitoring and supervision mechanism.(43, 53, 97)
Child Protection Networks (RPEs)
Assist the CNVS with coordinating and facilitating the collection of statistical data on human trafficking, in particular women and children. Established by the MASSN and comprising social workers, magistrates, judges, police officers, health workers, and NGOs in 23 of the country's 45 provinces.(53) In 2015, all RPEs met to share experiences and good practices.(43)
In 2015, although the Government made efforts to improve its data collection system and monitoring capabilities, a lack of resources, such as computers and electricity, and poor coordination among the ministries continued to hamper the Government's ability to fully address child trafficking.(2, 43)
The Government of Burkina Faso has established policies on child labor, including its worst forms (Table 9).
Table 9. Policies Related to Child Labor
National Action Plan to Combat the Worst Forms of Child Labor (PAN/PFTE) (2011–2015)
Part of the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (SCADD); aims to prevent and protect children from the worst forms of child labor through awareness raising, data collection, rehabilitation services, increased access to education, and better law enforcement.(48, 57, 100) Calls for the involvement of 11 ministries, particularly the MASSN and the MFPTSS, to reduce exploitative child labor significantly by 2015.(57, 101) Promotes education, particularly for girls, through school feeding programs, school material distribution, and scholarships.(93)
2015 National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking†
MASSN plan to combat human trafficking implemented by the CNVS.(43)
ECOWAS Regional Action Plan on Child Labor (2012–2015)

National Parenting Program†
Aims to support families in their efforts to provide education and care to their children to reduce their vulnerability to child trafficking.(43)
* Child labor elimination and prevention strategies do not appear to have been integrated into this policy.
† Policy was approved during the reporting period.
In 2015, the Government of Burkina Faso did not receive any invitations to participate in activities under the ECOWAS Regional Action Plan on Child Labor.(97) The monitoring committee established to review the bilateral agreements to combat child trafficking with Mali and Côte d'Ivoire and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation agreement between Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire did not meet during the reporting period because of a lack of financial resources and the political situation in Burkina Faso.(97)
In 2015, the Government of Burkina Faso funded and participated in programs that include the goal of eliminating or preventing child labor, including its worst forms (Table 10).
Table 10. Social Programs to Address Child Labor
National Program for the Fight against Child Labor on Artisanal Gold Mining Sites and Quarries (2015–2019)*†
MASSN program that aims to prevent and withdraw children from working in artisanal gold mines as part of the Government's efforts to eliminate child labor in mining by 2025.(2, 43, 97, 110, 111) Seeks to strengthen child protection systems, improve coordination among stakeholders, and implement existing legislation. Builds on the previous project to eliminate child labor in mines and quarries from 2009 to 2013.(97) Approximately $42.9 million, 40 percent of the program costs, to be provided by the Government.(2)
Reducing Child Labor Through Education and Services (2012–2016)
$5 million USDOL-funded, 4-year project implemented by Counterpart International that targets 10,000 children engaged in or at risk of entering child labor in the cotton and gold mining sectors. Targets 1,000 households with child beneficiaries with livelihood services and aims to increase access to education, social protection, and training programs.(112, 113)
Global Action Program on Child Labor Issues
USDOL-funded project implemented by the ILO in approximately 40 countries to support the priorities of the Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor by 2016 established by the Hague Global Child Labor Conference in 2010. Aims to build the capacity of the national government and develop strategic policies to address the elimination of child labor and forced labor.(114)
Country Level Engagement and Assistance to Reduce Child Labor II (CLEAR II)
USDOL-funded capacity-building project implemented by Winrock International and partners Verité and Lawyers Without Borders in at least eight countries to build local and national Government capacity to address child labor. Aims to improve legislation addressing child labor issues, including by bringing local or national laws into compliance with international standards; to improve monitoring and enforcement of laws and policies related to child labor; to develop, validate, adopt, and implement a national action plan on the elimination of child labor; and to enhance the implementation of national and local policies and programs aiming to reduce and prevent child labor.(115, 116) Delayed implementation due to political transitions in 2014 and 2015.(117)
Transit Centers†
MASSN-funded program that operates 23 transit centers serving vulnerable children, some of whom may have been victims of human trafficking.(43, 51, 89) Provides food, medical assistance, and psychosocial care. Aims to reintegrate victims into their communities. Facilitates repatriation of foreign victims when possible.(23, 43, 51, 85) In 2015, received approximately $36,000 to operate transit centers and supporting programs.(43)
Assistance to Vulnerable Groups†
MASSN-funded program that provides services to vulnerable groups, especially women and children, in the prevention of human trafficking and recidivism.(46) In 2015, received approximately $181,000 to provide vocational training and social reintegration assistance to children living in the street who are vulnerable to child trafficking, and $49,000 to support income-generating activities for families of vulnerable children.(43) Provided protection for 400 potential child trafficking victims who were returned to their families; supported the vocational training and education of 301 vulnerable children who were reintegrated.(43)
Awareness Raising Campaigns†
MASSN-funded program that conducts nationwide campaigns to combat human trafficking by providing advocacy, raising awareness, and building capacity for key actors involved in child protection issues, including child trafficking.(43, 53)
National Parenting Program*†
Assists parents in managing and educating their children to combat child trafficking.(53)
Resilience in the Sahel-Enhanced (2014–2019)
USAID-funded 5-year project to increase food security and improve livelihoods in Niger and Burkina Faso. Received $130 million from UNICEF for the first two years of implementation.(118, 119)
UN World Food Country Program (2011–2016)
$56.2 million UN-funded program that supports school feeding programs, promotes primary education, and aims to improve food security. Aims to provide daily meals to 629,000 primary school students and monthly take-home rations of dry cereals to 55,525 young female students.(120, 121)

Provides quality education, school kits, water and sanitation facilities, and mobilizes communities in support of schools.(3, 71, 123-125) Provides teacher training on children's rights, child-friendly pedagogy, and development of extracurricular activities.(123)
National Strategy on Civil Registration (2012–2016)†
$41.3 million Government-funded program aiming to achieve universal birth registration by creating information and registration centers.(11, 30, 126) Receives 30 percent of its funding from the Government and the remaining 70 percent from technical and financial partners.(126)
* Program was launched during the reporting period.
† Program is funded by the Government of Burkina Faso.
In 2015, the Government continued to support and monitor 21,570 children who had been removed from mines and quarries and provided with schooling, vocational training, and income-generating activities.(43) Although Burkina Faso has social programs to address the worst forms of child labor in the production of cotton and in gold mining, the scope of these programs is insufficient to fully address the extent of the problem or to address other forms of child labor, such as in domestic work.(2, 3)
Based on the reporting above, suggested actions are identified that would advance the elimination of child labor, including its worst forms, in Burkina Faso (Table 11).

Data provided is the gross intake ratio to the last grade of primary school. This measure is a proxy measure for primary completion. This ratio is the total number of new entrants in the last grade of primary education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population at the theoretical entrance age to the last grade of primary. A high ratio indicates a high degree of current primary education completion. Because the calculation includes all new entrants to last grade (regardless of age), the ratio can exceed 100 percent, due to over-aged and under-aged children who enter primary school late/early and/or repeat grades.

|Drama . Documentary . History
There is a centuries-old seawall in the ancient port of Akka, located on Israel's northern coast. Today, Akka is a modern city inhabited by Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Baha'i, but its history goes all the way back to rule of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Young people dare to stand atop the 40' one-meter thick block structure and risk their fate by jumping into the roiling sea. This perilous tradition has continued for many generations, and has become a rite of passage for the children of Akka. "It's Better to Jump" is about the ancient walled city of Akka as it undergoes harsh economic pressures and vast social change. The film focuses on the aspirations and concerns of the Palestinian inhabitants who call the Old City home.
|Gina Angelone , Mouna Stewart , Patrick Alexander St
|More Info:
Technically, the film isn't terribly exciting: talking heads interspersed with shots of young people making their symbolic "leap of faith" from the walls. But the directors have chosen eloquent interviewees, and the passionate attachment they feel for their city gives the film heart.New York Post Full Review
This brief film often feels like an extended gripe session instead of something more profound or game-changing.Los Angeles Times Full Review
The film feels like a work of community advocacy.The New York Times Full Review
Directors Patrick Alexander Stewart, Gina M. Angelone and Mouna B. Stewart have failed to construct the often emotional personal accounts into a compelling film.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
The three director-producers' inability to come up with stronger narrative or thematic organization makes "It's Better to Jump" play like the professionally polished side product of a vacation stay.Variety Full Review
Without comments from Akka's Jewish residents or any conflicting voices, the film plays like a propagandistic attempt to reshape historical and contemporary narratives.Village Voice Full Review

Ok so Omega is here and I have just finished it.
I have to say I was very impressed. Bioware promised it would be large and they didn't disappoint as Shepard and Aria battled all over Omega, including visiting some familiar locations. Nyreen was an interesting character who I was shocked to see perish, but I found her a welcome, if short, addition to the mythos of the series. The party banter was welcome, as were the interactions in Aria's bunker between her new supporting cast. Bray was especially a favourite of mine. The new enemies proved challenging and a welcome addition to the Cerberus grunts we have gotten so used to killing by now. It was also good to see the true cost of taking Omega, and the cinematic scenes showing this struggle were incredible. In fact I could only find one thing to criticise and that was that Nyreen's 'reveal' as the Talon leader had already been spoiled by the marketing department.
Obviously there were things I would have liked to see added to Omega, such as a multiplayer map included with the DLC, or more of Omega's cast in ME2 returning. Don't get me wrong seeing Harrot and the Mad Prophet return was welcome and surprising, and new characters like Azh and Jarral were nice to see, but it would have been nice to find out what happened to such characters as Gavorn, Shisk, Patriarch, Anto, Grizz and Helena Blake.
On the whole I really enjoyed it. It may not have added as much to the story as From Ashes or Leviathan, but it provided an entertaining side journey where we got to really fight a war. Id recommend it.
But what did you all think?

Iridium disclosed plans for a future constellation to replace the 66 low-earth-orbit satellites that make up its current satcom network. Speaking at the Satellite 2007 conference in Washington, D.C., company officials said the "Iridium Next" constellation will maintain the current service's "cross-linked" architecture but will use Internet Protocol technology to deliver broadband data and voice communications services to users.
An all-new, $2 billion satellite network will replace the one that now provides Iridium satcom and low-speed data services to more than 175,000 subscribers worldwide.
Officials said the Iridium Next constellation will be compatible with current Iridium satcom hardware, meaning upgrades won't be necessary for subscribers who want to continue only their voice and low-rate data services.

If you're anything like me and have, say, eaten a cupcake immediately after a tough workout (hey, it was red velvet), then you understand just how overwhelming it can be to get into shape. You want to run that 5K or kick butt at that Body Combat class, but your body has a more Netflix-and-chill kinda plan for you.
Trying to reach your fitness goals can be really frustrating in the beginning, especially with all the #fitspo stuff inundating your social media feed. Yeah, yeah, I see you can do 12 different kinds of planks, fitness-guru-on-Instagram. Simmer down with those Motivation Mondays cause they're just making me crave pizza. I'm not into the whole high-pressure "suck it up, buttercup" fitness culture because, seriously, where's the fun in body-shaming yourself? My fitness philosophy? Laugh about your fitness journey every chance you get.
Need a little help finding your happy place before your next workout? These funny fitness tank tops and T-shirts will help you get in the right frame of mind.
It's all about what motivates you
Maybe you're motivated by your love for pastries or Taco Tuesday. Or maybe the thought of not being able to outrun a hoard of zombies keeps you up at night. Whatever motivates you, wear it as a reminder to keep moving!
Sweat the small stuff — in a good way
True story: just getting your butt to the gym is half the battle. Be proud you made the decision to get up and go!
Get a little help from your friends
Working on your fitness is so much more fun with a friend by your side. No one available today to keep you motivated? Take along the Golden Girls, Richard Simmons or your friends from the Justice League!
Stop trying to be perfect
If you haven't exercised in a while (or ever), you're not going to be able to run a 5K the first time you try. That's just not how our bodies work. That means when you first start hitting the gym, it's gonna be hard. But instead of getting discouraged, laugh through each obstacle.
Celebrate your swole self!
Keeping a sense of humor throughout your fitness journey will make the tough days seem a little less insurmountable. And soon you'll be celebrating just how much healthier you've become.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
How long have you had the set for, and when did the problem occur?
Additionally, what is connected to the TV for devices (DVD, cable box, etc.), and do you have the same issue regardless of which INPUT you select?
Have the white spots multiplied over time?
This is the most common problem that occurs with DLP sets. The problem you're seeing are mirrors failing in the Light Engine. The Light Engine DLP chip has thousands of tiny mirrors- each one representing a Pixel. When the Pixels go white, it is a mirror failing. The problem will get worse and worse (this is what always happens), until your entire screen is white.
The cost of a new Light Engine is $1,200. But, you can have the Light Engine rebuilt by using a new DLP chip for around $350 total. This is not something I would recommend doing yourself as it is very time consuming to remove the light Engine, and it is best to have the set in the hands of a tech in case something goes wrong in the process.
The next is a private shop locater to have them rebuild the Light Engine:
If you need further assistance, let me know.

text: Seantrel Henderson is a monster size wise. Alot bigger in person, wingspan is huge. Josh Huff has a "wow" factor. Not a skinny 5'11. Crisp route running and made it easy for the QBs. Can play the outside aswell. Mike Davis 6'2 ability, and blocked down the field aswell. Zack Martin, looks like he can play in any scheme, can play G or T. Aaron Donald, wins with leverage, but will be limited teams who have him on their board because of size. Kareem Martin, didnt show passrush. Unable to get off blocks. Hageman, loses the ball too much. Too interesting in one on one matchups and the ball goes past him. Van Noy, too much of a rollercoaster to play OLB Michael Sam, He is not a OLB, DE all the way Richardson, heavy footed and cant handle speed. Not a finisher, not a mauler type bad thing especially with his size. Draft a speed RB? Cowboys happy with the RBs on the team Fales? Not a fan, little mobility not a quick thinking qb. RD1 priority BPA Dont get enamored with the SR Bowl guys, because there are 98 jrs and alot of them are better then whats at the sr bowl.

The Wedding Bouquet Vegetable Platter or Romanesco Romano!
Recipe by French Tart
Thanks to Chef #37636 and Chef #47892 for giving me the zany recipe title ideas! Yes, this beautiful vegetable does indeed look like a wedding bouquet, or maybe even a collection of small Christmas trees.........it is the most beautiful looking vegetable in the world, in my humble opinion! However, never mind its looks - it tastes wonderful, having a nutty and buttery taste and holds its shape better than cauliflower or broccoli when cooked. A little more information on this gorgeous vegetable: Romanesco is an unusual crop. Not quite a calabrese and not quite a cauliflower but with aspects of both. It has a taste and texture exceeding the finest broccoli and is a member of the Brassica family. Romanesco broccoli was first documented in Italy (as broccolo romanesco) in the sixteenth century. It is sometimes called broccoflower, but that name is also applied to green-curded cauliflower cultivars. Romanesco is best steamed rather than boiled as it will retain its flavour and texture better. Small spears can also be stir-fried or even eaten raw in salads or with a dip as crudities. This recipe is simple and keeps the full flavour of the romanseco; use any Italian cheese you have to hand - I used Parmesan cheese in the photos I posted, a few toasted hazelnuts may also be a fine finishing touch. One more piece of useless information (!!), the fractal spiral of this vegetable is an example of the golden ratio, which is linked mathematically to all kinds of interesting things, such as the proportions of human faces - I told you it was an amazing vegetable!

I share French Tart's love, admiration and fawning overtures to Romanesco. It is the most beautiful vegetable in the world by far! There is an invisible force that stops me from chopping the head up into florets. I steam the romanesco whole for about 10 minutes because the head was small. In a small saucepan olive oil and butter were heated up just enough to warm the oil and melt the butter. Scattered the vegetable with toasted organically grown Oregon-grown hazelnuts, light grating of asiago, sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper. When you are this beautiful au naturel or the very most a light dusting of a powder puff is best. Amazing! Takes my breath away!

Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 head romanesco (about 900g or 2 lbs in weight)
- 2 -3 tablespoons italian hard cheese, grated
- parmesan cheese or romano cheese
- 1 ounce butter
- 1 tablespoon hazelnut oil
- toasted hazelnuts (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Cut off the main stalk and trim the base of any excess leaves, Divide the romanesco into florets, trying to maintain good-sized pieces - about the size of an egg.
- Steam or boil the romanesco gently for about 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the size and weight; check after 8 minutes - the vegetable stalk should be soft enough to pierce a skewer in to it - but the pretty heads should still be whole and firm, as well as retaining their beautiful pale green colour. If the romanesco is still too hard, continue to boil or steam, checking it every 2 minutes or so.
- Add the butter and the oil top the pan and very gently toss the vegetable florets so they are all coated in the butter and oil. (If using a steamer, put the florets into a pan to do this.).
- Arrange the florets in an attractive serving bowl or platter - sprinkle over the grated cheese and top with toasted hazelnuts if you decide to use them.
- Serve with crusty bread for a light and elegant luncheon dish. Alternatively, serve as the main vegetable accompaniment to most main course meals.
- Serves 4 as a light lunch with bread, and 6 as a vegetable accompaniment.

Plymouth. N.H.—PSU Professor Carleen Graff of Plymouth will perform George Crumb's Eine kleine Mitternachtmusik, ruminations on Thelonius Monk's "Round Midnight," in a recital March 23 at the Silver Center for the Arts.
The program also includes works by Mozart, Grieg and Debussy.
George Crumb is known as as a composer of hauntingly beautiful scores, and Professor Graff has performed several of his works.
"I enjoy experiencing the extended sounds that Crumb is able to elicit using themany techniques required in his music—from playing harmonics, to glissandos and pizzicatos on the strings, to the use of a yarn stick on the crossbeams. I find it fascinating to figure out the score in order to make the music come alive. His music is a true sound experience for the audience," Graff said.
Graff is professor of music at Plymouth State University, and coordinator of piano performance studies.
A frequent adjudicator for competitions and evaluations throughout the U.S. and Canada, she has performed solo and chamber recitals in New England, the Mid-West and Germany.
Her students have received numerous awards for the performances and studies. Graff also teaches pre-college piano students and oversees the community young piano students at PSU.
In addition, she directs the Plymouth Digital Keyboard Orchestra for young students and has published several digital keyboard works. She is also founder of the biennial Piano Monster Concerts which put multiple pianists at each piano to perform ensemble style; the Junior and Senior summer Piano Monster Festivals, and the Contemporary Piano Festival at Plymouth State.
Graff earned a D.A. in piano performance and pedagogy at the University of Northern Colorado, an M.A. in applied piano from the University of Denver and a B.M.E. from Illinois Wesleyan University. She is the recipient of the Master Teacher Certificate from the Music National Association, and the New Hampshire Music Teachers Association Teacher-Member of the Year award.
Free tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603)535-ARTS.

The seven siblings featured in the new documentary The Wolfpackgrew up in New York's Lower East Side, but they were raised almost completely shut off from the outside world. Despite and because of these strange circumstances, they became completely obsessed with pop culture – in particular, with movies. Two of the Angulo brothers, Mukunda and Bhagavan, fell hard for The Dark Knight. And it was this film – about a man who dresses up as a giant bat – that made them want to discover the world outside their windows. "After I saw The Dark Knight, that made me believe that something was possible to happen," says Mukunda. "Not because it was Batman, but because it felt like another world." WATCH MUKUNDA AND BHAGAVAN RECREATE A SCENE FROMTHE DARK KNIGHT: Oscar Angulo, the siblings' father, was strict. For years, he didn't let them leave their apartment on their own. On the rare occasion when they went out as a family, the kids were told not to speak to anyone. The internet was also off limits. But Oscar loved movies, so he recorded a massive library on VHS and DVD – about 5,000 films in total. The siblings would watch the same films over and over and, after fiercely debating their collective Top 40, they decided to start recreating some of them. "We always say lines from our favorite films and we thought, why don't we do those films, be the characters," Mukunda says. Without a computer or even a typewriter, he had to handwrite all of the individual scripts. "It took me a week to write Goodfellas,a week to write The Dark Knight,about five to write The Dark Knight Rises,two to write Batman Begins. Writing that and hurting your hand, it's torture, but seeing the result is everything." The siblings now star in their very own film – albeit a documentary. The Wolfpack, directed by Crystal Moselle, won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Moselle first encountered the kids on one of their very first unsupervised forays out of their apartment. She took them to an internet café where Mukunda used the internet for the first time. "I just googled The Dark Knight and found out stuff I had no idea existed," he says. "That's the first thing I googled. I'll never forget it."

Springer Netherlands, Jul 31, 1987 - Philosophy - 424 pages
During the last half of the twentieth century, legal philosophy (or legal theory or jurisprudence) has grown significantly.

Not only does it help make some of the best work available to an international audience, but it also en courages increased awareness of, and interaction between, the two major traditions. The primary focus is on full-length scholarly monographs, aIthouogh some eidted volumes of original papers are also included.
