Since the 1970s, TV Dramas have had the attention of the Danish audience. One in particular has been used as the standard of drama series – Matador. Thus, it was common for new drama series to be touted as the "New Matador" as they are shown. However, not one has yet come up to the challenge of displacing it from its honored place in television entertainment.
Matador was a TV series produced by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation which was formerly known as Danmarks Radio. It was shown between 1978 and 1981. It was directed by Erik Balling, a Danish filmmaker.
The popular TV series is set in the fictional Danish Town named as Korsbæk. Its success is highly attributed to its successful mix of melodrama and humor. The story focuses on the rivalry between families of two businessmen. In contemporary Danish parlance, "Matador" would usually refer to a business tycoon.
This TV series was so successful that it got to enjoy repeated reruns, the first of which came out in 1984-85. The last rerun was shown in 2012-2013. If popularity is measured by the status of its viewers, then Matador can be proud to say that it was regularly viewed by Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark.
Many foreigners wanting to learn more about Danish culture got important insight through the TV series. The Danes' love for coffee and newspaper was quite evident in the many scenes of the show. If it is not able to depict Danish history in its truest form, viewers can take consolation in the offered version as provided by a TV series accepted by the Danes as they get entertained.

Schools forced to keep cutting
As the District teeters on the edge of insolvency, schools have spent this year struggling to deal with two rounds of cuts to their budgets and school-based services. Cuts in August and again in December have sent principals scrambling to pare services without affecting the core mission of teaching and learning.
The layoff of 47 nurses in December got the most outraged attention.
At Greenfield Elementary in Center City, the nurse was cut back from five to two days a week.
"If she's not here, I'm the only one who can dispense medication," said Principal Dan Lazar. If a child doesn't feel well, he always tries to send him or her home.
"In the past, the nurse might say it's fine to go back to class, but I'm not trained to give that kind of care," he said.
In addition to that, Lazar has had to cut lunch aides and other support personnel. Several extracurricular activities have been eliminated. Some teachers are working after school without pay to advise student government and provide art and math enrichment, he said.
Nurses warned that the District was potentially endangering children by failing to have trained medical staff in buildings most of the time. Besides emergencies, nurses deal with chronic issues like obesity and asthma that plague many students.
Plus, said Lazar, the nurse "is another adult in the building."
Nurses haven't taken this passively. A core group has led protests every Wednesday in front of District headquarters, calling it "Occupy 440." They have blasted the state for cutting education aid drastically and chastised District leaders for embracing privatization instead of complaining about "this gross misallocation of resources."
Roxborough school nurse Eileen DiFranco expressed frustration that District leaders are not talking about what she called the "deliberate underfunding" of Philadelphia schools by the state and city. "Are we the only ones who care?" she asked.
She also circulated a petition of "no confidence" in Gov. Tom Corbett, whose billion-dollar cut in state education aid this year fell heavily on Philadelphia and precipitated the crisis.

Getting a tattoo is a big decision, and getting something that relates to something you really love is one of the biggest motivations behind people's choice of design.
For die-hard Disney fans, getting a Disney related tattoo is a no-brainer, but with so many great Disney movies out there, the choice is overwhelming. So which Disney tattoos are most people opting for? We took a look on Instagram to see which are the most popular!
1. Alice In Wonderland
80,003 Hashtags
3. Mickey Mouse
24,058 Hashtags
5. Lilo and Stitch
20,778 Hashtags
7. Beauty and the Beast
15,114 Hashtags
9. Snow White
8,063 Hashtags
2. Lion King
26,908 Hashtags
4. Little Mermaid
22,478 Hashtags
6. Peter Pan
18,353 Hashtags
8. Sleeping Beauty
8,561 Hashtags
10. Minnie Mouse
7,281 Hashtags
Several lists of Disney Characters were combined to make our original source list. We then searched Instagram for hashtags relating to each of the most popular characters and films to see which have the most images.
Characters were grouped where they are typically seen as a pair, for example Beauty and the Beast.
Only animated films were included, and characters that exist outside of the Disney universe were excluded (such as Zeus who is part of wider mythology) in order to avoid the results being skewed by non-Disney related tattoos.
We also excluded a number of more minor characters from our original source list, as well as any hashtags with less than 50 results.

Ok, I guess I wasn't quite finished talking about enjoying the ride. Last night my three youngest and my husband and I traveled in the car for over 2 hours to have dinner with our oldest on his 21st birthday. Talk about enjoying the ride. I actually drove up there and let's just say the rest were not a fan of the driver. But anyway, we enjoyed each other. We talked. We laughed a lot. And we had wonderful food to celebrate. We are a foodie family. Food snobs as I like to put it. We like food but we like good food. That being said we took from each other's plates and put our food on the other's plate. We tasted and savored every bite and all while enjoying each other's company. We are a blended family. The two youngest belong to me and the two oldest belong to my husband. But in the end we all belong to each other. We are blended and stirred up and kneaded and simmered all together. We are all a part of each other even if we didn't start out that way. But most of all we enjoy the ride together.
On the way home we stopped for Starbucks and then headed on back to the house. After all the caffeine we were a lively bunch, myself probably the worst. We sang and danced and played the music loud. We laughed and told stories and made funny voices. All in all we enjoyed the ride. We are family and we can be silly and crazy and little goofy. It's who we are. We try to enjoy the ride every day we can still ride. My babies will all be gone in less than 5 years and I won't say the ride will be over but it sure will be a lot less interesting but until then we will ENJOY THE RIDE.

Next week is the College National Football Championship. In anticipation, we wanted to share a fun snack project inspired by Pinterest: The Football Field of snacks. Every day this week, we will be sharing an aspect of the field and will reveal the final product on friday!
If I know one thing, it's that boys love little weiners. Sean loves it when I make pigs in a blanket for parties, or just for eating in general. I also "invented" another little weiner recipe to keep him happy!
Pigs in a blanket:
Unroll a pack of crescent roll dough. Cut each roll into 2 or 3 triangles. Roll little weiners in the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet & bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with mustard!
Weiners in a Hot Tub:
Make your favorite corn bread recipe. Might i reccomend this one.
After you scoop the dough into greased muffin tins, add one mini weiner to the center of each one. Bake as usual. Serve with ketchup.

Another loss means more questions for the Oklahoma City Thunder, especially for their big three stars: Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony. The biggest questions are what is wrong with the OKC Thunder and why have they not been able to put together a string of wins?
Few outside of the Thunder organization and their fan base expected for the team have one of the better records in the NBA. Most everyone believed that Thunder would struggle coming out of the gate. However, no one saw the OKC Thunder sitting with a 4-7 record after 11 games.
It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that talent and big names trump everything else in the NBA. Time is needed for the talent to gel. Big names oftentimes come with huge egos. However, having an ego is necessary when going up against the best of the profession night in and out. One of the problems is that Anthony, George, and Westbrook are trying too hard to push aside their egos. It has cost the OKC Thunder wins thus far.
Some indecision was taking place during the Oklahoma City Thunder's 102-94 defeat to the Denver Nuggets. A couple of fast breaks were halted because the trailing players rotated toward the three-point line instead of going into the lane for easier shots.
Carmelo Anthony and Paul George were among those Thunder players looking for long-distance shots in favor of layups, each time in deference to Russell Westbrook trying to make a play.
The OKC Thunder are playing like a team still figuring things out. The new Thunder stars have yet to live up to their billing due to a lack of chemistry. However, the Thunder has too much talent to be 4-7 and losers of four consecutive games.
According to the Norman Transcript, the Thunder conducted a team meeting to discuss the Thunder's current skid. Offseason trade acquisition Paul George offered a keen assessment of the OKC Thunder's play as of late.
"We're going to take advantage of that mismatch. That's just what it comes down to, but it's on us to not spectate. Whoever has the ball, we can't spectate. We got to get some movement, just cause some confusion to give that guy that has the ball a chance to even make a play."
The OKC Thunder players have been guilty of spectating for the past few games. Instead of getting in position to make or complete a play, the Thunder stands around to watch the ball.
Thunder hold team meeting after losing fourth game in a row https://t.co/W9ph9atLYt pic.twitter.com/R9l5i61j1X— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) November 10, 2017
When the Thunder traded for Paul George (courtesy of NBA.com), they envisioned him fitting into the role vacated by Kevin Durant. George has been relegated to the third star with the Thunder's deal to get (courtesy of ESPN) Carmelo Anthony from the New York Knicks. The question bringing Anthony and George in together was about their overall fit. It has not been ideal.
Going into the game against the Denver Nuggets, the big three of the Oklahoma City Thunder were all averaging 20.1 points a game. Anthony, George, and Westbrook are all putting up a similar number of shots, and it is a clear sign of the Thunder players deferring to each other at the worst possible times. The Thunder's deference has them winless against Western Conference teams.
OKC Thunder remain winless vs. Western Conference teams (This is particularly troublesome given that they play in the Western Conference...aren't you glad there are now extra characters to provide this deeper analysis?)— J.A. Adande (@jadande) November 10, 2017
There is an example of the deference the OKC Thunder players has which took place in the fourth quarter of the Nuggets game. Carmelo Anthony was being defended by the Nuggets' Paul Millsap. Anthony took a few dribbles to lure Millsap into the back end of the elbow. In doing so, it opened up the paint for a Thunder player to roam inside.
Once Anthony was successful, the Thunder players, with the exception of Steven Adams, stopped to watch the ball. Paul George was in the right corner, Westbrook was near the top of the key, and Jerami Grant was being shaded on the left side. Anthony took a few more dribbles and took a difficult shot. He did score on the play, but it was made tougher than it needed to be because none of the Thunder players moved.
The video below shows several of Carmelo Anthony's shots in the Thunder game versus the Nuggets. There were only a few instances when the Thunder moved on offense.
The chemistry between Anthony and George must improve if the Thunder want to compete for a championship. Their big names lead us to believe they should play well together. However, their perimeter-based styles make it difficult.
If Paul George returns to being a slasher while Carmelo Anthony roams the elbow awaiting drive and kick opportunities from Russell Westbrook, the Thunder will have better success. In order for that to happen, each member of the Oklahoma City Thunder's big three must regain their swagger and play with an ego. Playing without an ego is why the Thunder are currently 4-7.

It is very important for parents to treat an unborn child kindly
Years ago it was believed that a human child is born to life as a blank piece of paper, on which it is possible to write anything you want. Specialists believe nowadays that a human life starts at the moment when two reproductive cells become one. It is hard to believe, if it is really so. However, the practice of the unique Kharkov Pre-Birth Center shows that parents can affect physical and psychological health of their child before it is born. This center is attached to the Scientific center of the clinical genetics and perinatal diagnosis. The center is meant to develop the new practice – the pre-natal treatment.
Up-to-date technologies allow to take pictures of a child when it grows inside its mother. Modern ultrasound technologies give an opportunity to catch even family resemblance. Mothers usually have a positive reaction to the moving image of an unborn child, whereas fathers usually experience a shock.
"There is no word in our culture to indicate that a man and a woman become parents not after the birth of their child, but nine months before it happens. Unborn children feel everything that happens in a woman's life, when she is pregnant. Men become fathers from the moment of conception. We help people to come to the realization of this fact. We show them how a child reacts to touching, how an unborn child yawns and smiles, how it moves its tiny fingers. The psychological situation changes to the better after that, such practice helps to retrieve corrupted emotional links in a young family," director of the center, Julia Grechanina said. The first group of would-be parents came to the center two years ago. A lot of family couples have been to the center since that time, both healthy and not.
When a family couple comes to the center, specialists teach young people, how to talk to their unborn child. One should say things like "We love you so much, our dear baby, we are waiting for you." Doctors say that such a "heart-to-heart talk" is very good for future relations between parents and children. No woman, who has been to the classes of the center, has ever had breast-feeding problems. The specialists of the center teach relaxation methods, child care, special exercises for pregnant women. Doctors tell parents, what an unborn child feels in its "paradise," what it can see and hear at different levels of its growth.
"It is an open secret that pregnant women are presumably tense all the time, their feelings are intensified. We teach would-be parents to find positive sides in various situations. For example, a disease is always treated as trouble, although there is another attitude about it too. You can see your relatives and close people taking care of you, for instance. If something bad happens to you, it means that there is something good hidden behind it too. It would be good to think, what kind of a lesson your life tried to teach you," psychologist Alexander Kolesnikov said.
One of the most interesting classes of the center is the selection of music for every mother and child. Unborn children already have their preferences. The majority of them like classical music or natural sounds like rain or sea sounds. Some children prefer jazz or even electronic beat. Specialists discovered long ago that children sleep very well to their favorite sounds, both before and after birth.
Those couples, who have various hereditary problems often come to the center as well, for they want to give birth to healthy children. Pre-birth treatment can weaken the action of the family pathology gene. A pregnant woman's dysbolism can lead to the fact that a child will be mentally retarded when it is born. Sometimes it happens that doctors diagnose an infectious disease of an unborn child. It is a lot easier to cure such a disease before a child is born than vice versa. Specialists avoid any aggressive medical interference, the use of antibiotics, for example. Polyvitamins, microelements and special diets are used instead. Several couples have already become happy parents, although their original forecasts were rather sad. Independent experts confirmed that their babies were more active and sensitive than other children of the same age.
By the way, Canadian scientists discovered hormonal changes in the organism of those men, who just became fathers. As it turned out, the fathers of two or three month infants had a lot less of the testosterone male hormone in comparison with childless men. Scientists discovered that young dads had more of the female hormone estradiol, which takes part in the formation of motherly conduct. Scientists suppose that young fathers start imitating their wives, when they take care of their kids, playing the role of a tender woman.
Ancient cultures of a lot of nations had some knowledge about unborn children too. When a Chinese woman told her husband of her pregnancy, he would put his hand on her stomach and tell his unborn child what it would have. They believed in China that if a child agreed to live with its parents, it would be born successfully. If not, pregnancy would stop itself then.

It was a mini-summit of people who professionally do not like Donald Trump on Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as Kimmel welcomed Full Frontal host Samantha Bee. While Kimmel took the traditional nightly late-night host shots at Bee's but once-a-week round of Trump-bashing, they both commiserated over how the current administration's never-ending toxic spill of horrible news means they often have to scrap a show's planned material at the last minute in favor of the day's late-seeping horror.
Noted Canadian Bee also revealed that her worried father, aghast at news reports of this slow-motion unnatural disaster south of the border, sent her an actual kevlar vest all the way from Toronto. (She also admitted that husband and fellow Daily Show alum Jason Jones did not receive a vest of his own. Awkward.)
Speaking of her time as The Daily Show's longest-tenured correspondent (or "the old battle-axe of The Daily Show," as Bee put it), Kimmel went on to show a clip of Bee interviewing a pre-Trump Kellyanne Conway. Described by Bee as "thirsty" for the cameras even then, Republican operative Conway is shown happily answering Bee that the only way for the GOP to market what Bee termed its "shit sandwich" of a platform was, in Conway's words, "to dip it in chocolate" so the American public will be willing to choke it down. Bee expressed a grudging admiration for both Conway's self-promoting eagerness to appear on The Daily Show (until producers told Bee and company that enough Conway was more than enough), and for the dubious honor of being "the smartest member" of the current Trump crime family.
Indeed, Bee told Kimmel that the ever-spinning Conway was "pleasant and lovely" back then, even as the now White House spokes-liar reveled in her coveted airtime by saying literally "anything that you want[ed] her to."

A busman's holiday on the water
It is a prime time to be on the water. Last week, l actually took a day off from my busy spring fishing season … to go fishing.
It was truly a "busman's holiday," as l had a couple of old friends along for company. Fortunately, they were along for the ride as well. We managed to pack over a century of combined professional experience in one single boat.
There is a common perception that most folks have about fishing guides, and about guides in general. It has often been expressed as, "Oh man, you got it made! You fish all day, and get paid for it. What a sweet deal."
And some days, it actually is.
But just like any job, there is a lot of preparation, studying, scouting and no short order of bugs, beginners, BSers, left-behinders and the ever-popular Besters, who use, eat, drink, do and go nowhere but the best. They are simply the very best in everything, period, which is why they have to remind us about it so often.
Despite the fickle weather, which is always too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, a guide's reputation is forever at the mercy of air pressure, bugs or the lack of them and the will of the waters, which are usually too high, too low, too warm or too cold. I have heard endless theories explaining why fish aren't taking, and l have come up with a couple of good ones of my own, when needed.
The purpose of our recent busman's holiday was to take a day off from the usual routine. It has long been an undertaking we've shared, even though it has been difficult to schedule at times.
As usual, we nailed down a date on short notice. The angling gods unleashed a splendid day to be on the ponds, with very little wind and just enough sun to keep us comfortable.
As usual, we trolled, cast, jigged and laughed. And we actually caught a few fish. Although our actual take was not as significant as getting out there again, we ended up with more than enough fish to fill a frying pan or two.
In addition to brookies, we caught and released several hefty bullhead while trolling spoons. The bullhead seemed to be in a bit deeper water than the brookies, which were also unusually active on sunny day. As usual, we were all tired by the end of the day. It was very satisfying, and I'm ready for more.
All of the natural signs point to good fishing ahead. Black flies are again in the air and wildflowers are blooming on the forest floor, while snapping turtles and painted turtles will soon be digging nests in the sandy riverbanks.
Grouse are currently drumming and loons have begun pairing up on the ponds. It is a great time to get out, before the flying teeth begin to solicit their annual contributions from their unsuspecting victims.

BRUSSELS, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Canada's trade minister walked out of talks in Belgium on Friday, declaring that the European Union was incapable of sealing a planned transatlantic free trade deal designed to boost growth in both economies.
All 28 EU governments support the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), but Belgium cannot give assent without backing from its five sub-federal administrations, and French-speaking Wallonia has steadfastly opposed it.
The agreement, the EU's first with a G7 country, would according to supporters increase trade between the partners by 20 percent, boosting the EU economy by 12 billion euros ($13 billion) per year and Canada's by C$12 billion ($9 billion).
A visibly shaken Chrystia Freeland, Canada's trade minister, emerged after a full day of talks with chief Canadian and EU trade negotiators and Walloon Premier Paul Magnette.
"Canada has worked, and I personally have worked, very hard. But it is now evident to me, evident to Canada, that the European Union is incapable of reaching an agreement – even with a country with European values such as Canada," she said.
"Canada is disappointed and I personally am disappointed, but I think it's impossible," she continued, adding she was heading home.
A source in the EU's executive European Commission said it had not yet given up hope of reaching a deal. Separately, EU trade commissioner Cecelia Malmstrom said in a tweet she was sad talks had halted, but still hoped to find a solution.
Wallonia is home to about 3.5 million people, less than 1 percent of the 507 million Europeans CETA would affect, but the EU's flagship trade project rests on the will of its government.
It continued to have concerns about the threat of surging pork and beef imports from Canada and an independent court system to settle disputes between states and foreign investors, which critics say may be used by multinationals to dictate public policy.
Many EU leaders also suspect the local government in Namur of using its devolved powers to play domestic politics.
CETA was in theory due to be signed at an EU-Canada summit next Thursday in the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"We feel we've done everything we can do. The ball is in their court," Freeland's deputy, David Lametti, told reporters in Ottawa. Asked whether Canada had any more room to be flexible, he replied: "It's fair to say we would continue to negotiate in good faith."
A source familiar with the matter said Trudeau had set a deadline of Monday to decide whether to fly to Brussels. A spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Failure to strike a deal with such a like-minded country as Canada would call into question the EU's ability to forge other deals and undermine a bloc already battered by Britain's vote to leave and disputes over Europe's migration crisis.
The walkout came as leaders concluded a two-day EU summit in Brussels with trade policy the main topic set for Friday. European Council President Donald Tusk, chairing the summit, said that Europe's credibility was at stake.
The issue is greater than just a trade deal with Canada, the EU's 12th-largest trading partner.
If CETA fails, the EU's hopes of completing similar deals with the United States or Japan and opening up new talks with partners such as Australia and New Zealand would be in tatters.
Britain, which plans to form a new trading relationship with the EU 27 after it has exited the bloc, may be watching with concern.
"If there are all these disagreements to have a simple trade agreement with Canada, just imagine an agreement with the United Kingdom," said Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.
Geert Bourgeois, premier of Belgium's Dutch-speaking region of Flanders, called the deadlock over CETA a disgrace.
"It beggars belief… It is a disgrace for Europe. If there is one task Europe has, it is to conclude trade deals. We are way too small to do this on our own," he told Reuters.
Walloon's lawmakers share concerns voiced by many on the European left that CETA, and a stalled plan for a similar deal with the United States, risk watering down consumer, labour and environmental protections and granting power to multinationals.

The Profits of Pimping: Abolishing Sex Trafficking in the United StatesAmbassador Mark P. Lagon, Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
Remarks at the Hudson Institute
Washington, DC
July 10, 2008
I am very happy to be with you this afternoon. I'm thrilled that a brilliant economist and a former colleague of mine when we were both at another think tank, Diana Furchgott-Roth, is taking up this topic and I thank her for convening this discussion. Of course, I'm always delighted to be sharing intellectual space with Michael Horowitz, a leader in the anti-trafficking movement ever since he was alerted to the trafficking of Russian women to Israel in the 1990s. Michael is driven, the way William Wilberforce was, to build a political consensus to insist that basic human rights be protected, and for that, I am deeply thankful.
I have the privilege of leading the State Department's office dedicated to combating modern slavery, the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. One of our primary jobs is to compile the annual Trafficking in Persons Report which the Secretary of State released last month. The TIP Report covers human trafficking in the areas of sexual and labor exploitation, looking and the dimensions of prosecution, protection, and prevention in each country.
One of the great benefits of this document, conceived in Congress's wisdom, is that it draws from hundreds of sources, from all over the world. This year it covers 170 countries. So the material the office accumulates allows us to discern patterns and practices regarding the modus operandi of traffickers, among other things. Let me share some of the trends related to profits, pimps, and the sex industry—trends relevant to our domestic discussion.
Many people assume, superficially, that poverty creates human trafficking. Poverty is, certainly, a powerful contributing factor, making people vulnerable to the tricks and lies of traffickers. But other elements are common in the trafficking scenario: (1) criminals who combine greed and sadism, and (2) corrupt officials—as I've visited countries where members of the police are directly involved in running brothels.
Both criminals and corrupt officials are motivated by money—a powerful incentive that is, self evidently, the real driver in the economics of sex trafficking, not poverty alone. It is in fact ironic that economic gain for the traffickers and complicit government officials is even more important than economic desperation of the victims as a source of the problem. Everywhere there is a thriving sex industry exploiters need to generate a supply for the ravenous market to consume fellow human beings as sex commodities. Where do they turn? They turn to vulnerable populations: Foreign migrants and minors.
That global sex trafficking is profitable is an understatement. The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimates that human trafficking generates some 32 billion dollars a year. Of the transnational TIP problem, we estimate two-thirds of all victims trafficked across international borders are exploited for sexual exploitation. Therefore, a sizeable portion of that $32 billion is for selling, renting, leasing people to be violated sexually over and over and over.
But let's look at the ways traffickers, including pimps, are profiting from sexual exploitation:
A common scenario in trafficking cases is for traffickers to promise people a good job, even benefits, in order to lure them to a new workplace. Then, the traffickers add arbitrary debt as a tool of coercion. Such a debt scheme is increasingly used to enslave women and girls in prostitution throughout the world. Many women trafficked into prostitution report a never-ending cycle of debt—first they are often charged exorbitant fees for the cost of transportation, but daily expenses are frequently added and mount up exponentially. Many women trafficked into prostitution receive no money from pimps or brothel owners. This becomes a cycle of entrapment.
In the United Kingdom, according to a leading NGO, brothel keepers and traffickers force some victims to pay debts that could range as high as 20,000-40,000 pounds ($39,000-$78,000). Commenting on patterns of abuse in prostitution of East European women in London, Detective Inspector Dick Powell from Scotland Yard told the Guardian, "Some [women] have sex with as many as 40 men a day. It's very rare [for her] to get to keep any of the money she earns. We've seen places where 300 pounds ($580) a day goes to the brothel pimp or 'madam,' and that's even before the woman begins to try and pay off the 'debt bondage' of thousands of pounds charged to bring her here." Often, the debt can never be repaid because costs for food, rent, medicines, and condoms are added every day.
Take the example of 30 year-old Mara, who left her husband and two children in Ukraine to take a housekeeping job in Italy. Recruiters from an employment agency promised her a high salary. But once there, she was taken to a brothel where the owner said he had purchased her for several hundred dollars. He said she owed him money for the plane ticket. For nine months, Mara was controlled by this trafficker, who beat her when she refused a client. If a man complained about her, the brothel owner increased her debt. Mara was freed only when the Italian police raided the brothel. Charged with prostitution, she was deported to Ukraine.
Another trend we've identified in the TIP Report relates to the frequency that women function as controllers, recruiters, brothel operators—even pimps. The use of women in sex trafficking networks disarms victims and increases profits. Female trafficking victims in Europe and Central and South Asia are frequently recruited and trafficked into prostitution by other women, sometimes women who were previously trafficking victims. Dubbed "Happy Trafficking" in parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the method minimizes risks to organizers and maximizes profits through a "layering" of trafficking that involves multiple levels of traffickers who buy and sell and victim repeatedly. Physical and psychological pressure is combined with financial incentives, turning victims into traffickers. In part to avoid detection by authorities, traffickers grant some victims limited freedom—and even reward them financially—while coercing them to return to their home countries and recruit one or more women to replace them.
"Happy" refers to victim-cum-traffickers' practice of pretending to have had an ideal experience in legitimate jobs in the West or elsewhere, hiding the fact that they have been forced into prostitution themselves. Some anti-trafficking activists describe this "happy trafficking" as a type of simply refined psychological coercion that says, "Comply, and you'll be rewarded; cross us, and unspeakable things could happen to you and your family."
Women also serve as pimps and madams, brokering illicit commercial sexual transactions that include trafficking. From brothels in West African countries selling children for sex to others in South Africa exploiting prostituted Thai women, women are found running the operations. Criminal organizations often employ female traffickers because governments frequently exhibit leniency toward female criminals. In many countries in the former Soviet Union, female traffickers continue to receive light sentences or are granted amnesty because of sympathies for the traffickers' children or general indifference demonstrated toward female criminals.
I met two young sex trafficking survivors in Romania who had been repatriated from a Western European capitol, the week before. As they were in a police holding area in the Bucharest airport, they saw their trafficker, a woman from their hometown, get off a flight and breeze through Baggage Claim. The girls begged the police to arrest her up but it was just one person's word against another and the trafficker was left to go her way—a way of sewing other women's misery.
The topic of today's forum—what makes sex trafficking profitable—is not just academic. It helps identify how to disrupt and deter the traffickers, the recruiters, the exploiters, and the pimps responsible for enslaving fellow human beings. It is essential that we do everything possible to fight sex trafficking at home both because it is a national necessity and because it strengthens my hand, as the U.S.'s chief envoy on human trafficking, in our efforts to convince other nations to cooperate with us in eradicating this evil. That includes fully holding the exploiters to account. I have urged the officials of dozens of governments to hold those responsible for sex trafficking to account—through investigations, arrest, prosecutions, convictions, and sentences commensurate with enslaving another human being.
When pimps regularly engage in force, fraud, and coercion they deserve to be treated as human traffickers and punished severely. They've robbed others of their freedom and they deserve to be robbed of theirs—locked up for a long time. All over the world we see legal prostitution as creating an enabling environment for sex trafficking. It is sad that in America today all too often pimps are not only not severely punished but treated in popular culture as admirable rebels, as hip and stylish. That's got to end. And the first place to start is to put the full force of law enforcement to punish them for putting women and girls on sale, beating them, manipulating them, and extracting all their money from them after prostituting them.
That we reverse engineer what makes sex trafficking profitable at home is important. A few days ago, I met abroad with a Secretary of a Ministry of Justice, who was also chair of an inter-agency committee to combat human trafficking (as I chair in the U.S.). Here was a perfect case when U.S. credibility in making these requests required a record of our practicing what we preach at home. In a very contentious meeting, where we had a true meeting of the minds was on two ideas: (1) we need to attack the way human trafficking pays off for the criminals responsible for it; and (2) we have to make sure that the criminals pay for their crime. In short, we must make sure this grotesque crime doesn't pay and indeed that its perpetrators pay for their crime. "Governing justly," as the Bush Administration calls the centerpiece of our diplomatic and foreign assistance policy, demands this.
I've seen the victims of the invisible but very real chains of sex trafficking in person in Mexico, Romania, Russia, Kenya, India, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Japan, to name a few places. The 2008 Annual Report, like the 2007 Report, shows that prosecutions and convictions have leveled off globally. We need to break through a ceiling of progress on achieving justice in the name of those released from their invisible chains. To do so, we must increase prosecutions and convictions at home as an exemplar, to help promote similar actions by other governments around the world.
Demanding justice for those who traffic in women and girls in the United States not only helps restore the robbed dignity of these victims in our own country, but it strengthens our moral standing to lead a campaign worldwide to insist on justice for victims everywhere. Thank you for your engagement in this incredible challenge.

Big Society Capital Marks a Paradigm Shift
The Stanford Innovation Review
June 2012
The founding chair of Big Society Capital explains how the UK's social investment bank will harness entrepreneurship and capital to solve societal problems.
How do we transform the prospects of the socially disadvantaged? Answers to this question tend to focus on either the private sector or the public sector. But between the two sits the social sector, comprising charities, foundations, and other nonprofits that have distinctly social goals. There are 171,000 organizations in the social sector in the United Kingdom, holding total net assets of £95 billion and employing 668,000 people. For comparison, there were 987,000 public charities and 116,000 private foundations registered in the United States in 2009. Among them, they held more than $683 billion of charitable foundation assets and employed more than 9 million people.
At first sight, these aggregated numbers seem impressive. But the reality is that most charitable organizations are small and have no more than a few months of funding at their disposal. Yet there is one resource—vastly bigger than the resources currently available to either government or the social sector—that has remained largely untapped for social purposes: the capital markets.
Big Society Capital (BSC) was established with the belief that it is possible to tap into this huge pool of capital for social purposes, thereby transforming the prospects of the socially disadvantaged. In the process, the social sector can itself be transformed, provided that access to more capital is accompanied by a more supportive fiscal and regulatory environment. For that purpose, the sector needs to show a willingness to learn: It needs to offer a blend of measurable social and financial returns to attract investors; it needs to embrace financial innovation, including performance-based funding; and it needs to be more ambitious, seeking scale and efficiency. Importantly, charitable foundations and trusts need to make investments, in addition to grants, to achieve their social purposes. And the sector needs to attract and nurture innovative social entrepreneurs.
In the United Kingdom, leading organizations and individuals have been working to make all this happen since 2000. BSC is both our single biggest achievement to date and the intended principal catalyst for future accelerated change.
A Motivated Task Force
How has the UK arrived at BSC? First, there was a recognition across the political spectrum that the government-funded social safety net was not solving entrenched social problems. Furthermore, the condition of public finances following the economic downturn meant that government spending on social programs would be reduced.
A number of us in the nascent sector of social investment proposed that, just as entrepreneurship has transformed business over the past 30 years, so social entrepreneurship could transform the way we deal with social issues. In the process, the latent need for capital on the part of social enterprises could be turned into expressed demand, thereby creating an emerging asset class.
The first step was the formation in 2000 of the Social Investment Task Force, which I chaired. Because social returns do not attract capital in the same way as financial returns do, the task force identified the need for a wholesaler of capital for the social sector, a "social investment bank." The bank would encourage and support the development of financial and investment intermediaries to fund frontline social sector organizations. It would blend social returns, financial returns, and tax incentives to attract finance from the capital markets. In parallel with these efforts, the government was looking for ways to release unclaimed assets from UK banks and to deploy them for the social good. The voluntary agreement reached between the Treasury and UK banks and building societies (cooperative savings groups) in July 2006 aimed to release funds from accounts that have been dormant for at least 15 years and where serious attempts to reunite the accounts with their holders have failed. The Commission on Unclaimed Assets, which I chaired, proposed in March 2007 that the funds should provide £250 million of equity for the social investment bank.
Yet the government was reluctant to release more than £75 million for this purpose. So in 2007, Lord Stanley Fink of the hedge fund Man, David Blood of Generation Investment Management, Philip Hulme, the entrepreneur behind Computacenter, a philanthropic family, and I contributed funding to establish the first social investment bank, Social Finance, to prove the proposition. We were then helped by the Rockefeller, Esmee Fairbairn, and Apax foundations and the Big Lottery Fund. Our case was strengthened when Social Finance developed and launched an innovative, social outcome-based investment security, the Social Impact Bond (SiB), in 2010.
The target population of the first SiB-funded program comprises 3,000 prisoners due to leave Peterborough prison over six years. In the United Kingdom, around 60 percent of short-sentenced prisoners are convicted of at least one offense in the year after release. Each short-sentenced prisoner who re-offended after release in 2007 was convicted, on average, of five further offenses within the year. We determined that a 7.5 percent reduction in re-offending over the life of the SiB-funded program—measured against a representative control group—would trigger a recoupment of capital and a 2.5 percent return to potential social investors. A sustained 10 percent reduction over the life of the program would result in an annualized return of 7.5 percent. Higher reductions of re-offending would deliver higher returns, subject to a maximum return of 13.3 percent. But if the measured improvement were to be less than 7.5 percent, the investors would lose their capital.
The SiB not only rewards social entrepreneurs for their success in delivering beneficial social outcomes, it also eliminates the state's risk: Government pays investors only if the targets are reached, and it pays less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to the justice system had the reduction in re-offending not been achieved. The concept of SiBs has created significant interest, not just in the United Kingdom but also in the United States, Canada, Australia, Israel, and now the European Union.
The Role of Government
A significant part of our effort since 2000 has been to ensure that we have the attention of government. Since both the Labour administration and the current coalition government accepted the idea of linking the social sector to the capital markets through a wholesale social investment bank, our efforts have risen above party politics. Soon after becoming prime minister in May 2010, David Cameron pledged that "every penny of dormant bank and building society account money allocated to England"—estimated to total between £400 million and £500 million—would be used to capitalize the equity of the organization. In addition, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, and RBS—the so-called Merlin Banks—have agreed to support the effort with £200 million of equity, so that BSC is starting with £600 million of equity capital that will flow to it over the next three or so years.
BSC's role is to develop the market for investments that are made on the basis of generating positive social impact as well as a spectrum of financial returns, going from low returns to market returns. In so doing, it will boost the ability of social enterprises to deal with social issues. BSC support will include investing in financial intermediaries that advise and invest in the social sector, and acting as a cornerstone investor in the social investment funds they launch; helping these intermediaries to grow in scale, so that they can effectively finance the growth of frontline social sector organizations; investing in organizations that provide the necessary infrastructure for significant development of the social investment market, such as a social stock market; and investing in and underwriting innovative financial products such as SiBs that help link social entrepreneurs and organizations to the capital markets. BSC has an additional important role to play as a champion for the development of social investment and the embedding of social impact measurement in the social sector.
Under CEO Nick O'Donohoe (formerly of J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs), with whom I advised government on these issues and with whom I am working now to establish BSC, the organization is already tackling many challenges, including attracting and keeping a motivated, expert management team; encouraging investment readiness among frontline organizations in need of capital; managing the expectations and concerns of existing social sector organizations that might feel threatened by the new models of organization and intervention; supporting the efforts of larger social organizations to shift to more sustainable models of revenue generation; securing tax incentives for investors in the sector; and supporting the implementation of similar measures at the international level, so that the social sector gains momentum from several countries.
Designing and establishing BSC took up much of 2011. We had to ensure that its governance structure made it independent of government but accountable and transparent, and that it had a sustainable business plan acceptable to government and the shareholder banks. Only then could we secure its funding and a talented board and management team to lead it.
The launch of BSC brings us closer to a transformation in the way society deals with social issues. Will social enterprise render philanthropy obsolete? No. There are many situations in which the philanthropic approach will always be more suitable than the impact investment approach—for example, where no clear social performance metrics can be applied, where community organizations are small and local, where the risk is too high, or where the financial returns are significantly too low for investors. Philanthropy, specifically venture philanthropy, also can play a crucial role in helping to leverage in capital, and it can be especially valuable to support innovation.
Over the last three decades, venture capital and entrepreneurship have transformed the mindset of investors, government, and mainstream business. By driving social entrepreneurship and innovation and significantly increasing the flow of capital, BSC aims to achieve a similar paradigm shift in the social sector.

(Rega Jha is a 23 yr old editor for buzzfeed or something like that. She had posted on how good looking Pakistanis are and even though India won the cricket match, they are still ugly.
It was a funny tweet but Indians got 'offended' and threatened to rape her and shit.)

Each time Pakistan plays, Shoaib Akhtar's whatsapp status shows "Chhalni kar de seena mera!".
I know this because KC was watching Shoaib's video and I found it hilarious.
facebook is bad because its just pregnant people from high school. i much prefer this site where everyones upset at literally everything
Which is twitter, of course.
Obsessing over a dress is stupid. I miss the time when we were a thinking species and did things like dumping ice buckets on ourselves.
That ice bucket challenge is the stupidest thing I have seen in my life. Stupider than the ugly dress too.
Porn videos never tell you the whole story. They never show if the plumber finally fixed the kitchen tap or not.
I do not like porn videos where the background has water leaking in the kitchen. There isn't a woman on this planet who won't get the kitchen fixed first and then have sex with the plumber.
So, yeah… if women are your TG, please let the plumber do his thing first before he does the other thing. Ok?
Anyone can troll on Twitter, but hats off to people who do it on Facebook where everyone can see they've got ugly kids and a shit kitchen.
I agree. Posting pics of ugly kids is just a form of trolling

Q: Where did you go?
A: Kenya
Q: How long were you away?
A: 2 weeks
Q: How much did it cost and what sort of holiday was it (e.g. package, all-inclusive etc)?
A: £3000 (ish) All inclusive
Q: Did you spend the whole holiday in one place or did you travel around?
A: We landed in Mombassa on the Monday morning spent the day and night at a all inclusive resort the voyager. Then at 5am were woken to go on safari. spent the next three nights/ four days in different locations looking out for elephants, lions, hippos and zebra. After an exhausting but exhilarating four days drove four hours to our all inclusive 5 star resort, whitesands, for a well earned rest.
Q: What was a typical day like?
A: Typical day on safari started around 6am with a early morning game drive. arriving back at the hotel in time for breakfast. We would then pack up our bags and load them in the truck and set off for our mornings drive. Around lunch we would reach our next nights accommodation, take our bags to our rooms and grab some lunch. After lunch we were normally given a couple of hours to relax by the pool before a early evening drive. Once back to the lodge we'd find enough energy to eat tea then claps in bed, ready for another day.
Once we arrived at whitesands the 5 star all inclusive hotel our routine changed dramatically. After a incredibly lazy lie in we would stumble out of bed in search for a sun lounger next to one of the four pools, (we tended to favour the pool with the swim up bar!!) Once comfortable on our beds we would beckon a waiter and order some light refreshments in preparation for our long and tiring day by the pool. Around lunch time we would stir ourselves to wonder over to the lobster restaurant were we would partake in the odd glass of wine and scrumptious food. The afternoons were spent soaking up the sun and swimming in the pool. Around 6pm we'd retire to our rooms to prepare for an evening of drink, food and entertainment. By around 7:30pm you could often find us in one of the many hotel bars with a gin and tonic and pimms and lemonade. At 8pm we would sit for dinner and discuss the days activities! After a wonderful four course meal we would position our selves in the lounge or bar for the evenings entertainment. Depending on the mood we would either have a few drinks and retire to bed or go to the local club and dance the night away. Arr what a life!
Q: How did you and your partner get on?
A: We were on such a high after the wedding it was brilliant, each of us remembering little snippets of the day. Adam and I get on so well, after all not only is he my husband but also my best friend.
Q: What were the best bits?
Q: Were there any worst bits?
A: 5am mornings!!!
Q: What advice would you give other honeymooners-to-be?
A: Really go for it. After all the nerves and excitement of the wedding you really do need to go away and relax. You need to spend some quality time together. To start your married life in luxury. go on spoil your self.

How to Program a Key for a 2006 Jeep Commanderby Leonardo R. Grabkowski
The 2006 Jeep Commander comes with sentry keys--also called chip keys--that must be programmed to the ignition module. This setup is part of the vehicle's anti-theft system; it makes it harder for a thief to make a duplicate key for your Commander. The Commander's keys can be programmed at home. However, the procedure is only useful if programming an extra key. If you do not have two currently programmed keys, you'll need to visit a Jeep dealer for key programming with a dealer-only scan tool.
Step 1
Place your first working key in the ignition. Turn it to "On," but don't crank the engine. Keep the key at the "On" setting for eight seconds, and then turn it back to "Off" and remove it.
Step 2
Insert the second key into the ignition. Turn it to "On" and wait about 10 seconds. You will hear a chime, and a dash light labeled "SKIM" will illuminate.
Step 3
Turn the key back to "Off" and remove it from the ignition.
Insert the key you want to program. Turn it to "On" and wait for the "SKIM" light to turn off. This takes approximately 20 seconds. Once the light turns off, the key is programmed.
- This procedure will also program the keyless entry, which is integrated with the key.
Items you will need
