ILO Working Paper Forced labour and trafficking in Eu
Mar 07 2010
Download right click "save as"
The paper is based on ILO research carried out between 2003 and 2007. It summarizes largely qualitative research from ten European source, transit and destination countries. It is therefore the result of a collective effort of researchers from many countries. The purpose of this project was to close a gap in current research that exists up to today: Most trafficking-related research, in particular primary research, focuses on trafficking of women for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Other forms of trafficking, such as those linked to forced labour in labour-intensive economic sectors, are still under-researched and under-theorized.More information about human trafficking on the website of ILO.

Synthetic jackets can act as mid-layers, stand-alone jackets, or puffy parkas that fit over your shell in the coldest of temperatures. Unlike down fill, synthetic insulation will provide insulation even when it's wet. It's also not nearly as expensive. The type of synthetic jacket you choose depends on what you're going to use it for. For hanging out on belay or cruising town in the cold all you need is something basic that's nice and warm. If you're skiing, backpacking, or climbing and pushing yourself, then weight and features start to make a big difference.
Most synthetic-insulated jackets use a lightweight or medium-weight nylon shell with a water-resistant DWR coating. However, a puffy with fully waterproof fabric will be worth its weight in gold in you think you'll encounter wet weather.
How you use your jacket determines which fit is best for you. Choose a slim, athletic, or medium fit if you'll wear your down jacket as an insulating mid-layer, or opt for a loose fit if you plan to layer your down jacket over everything else.
A synthetic-insulated jacket with relatively little insulation makes an excellent choice as a versatile mid-layer when you're moving or your primary layer when you're just hanging out by the campfire. Opt for a jacket with more insulation if you're standing around while belaying an ice climb or you know you'll encounter brutally cold weather.

Nice coat, but the color...
I just got this coat, and it's very classy, very well made, but I'm disappointed at the color... I bought a soft blue thinking that it was going to be like the color on the picture, but it's definitely a blue going gray... you can not even call it blue... it's grey...I will return it and exchange it for another color...
Grape ladylike coat
I get lots of compliments on my lovely grape colored coat, which my husband gave me for Christmas in 2011! I really like it...was a little stiff at first in the sleeves, but loosens up with the wearing.

Accelerated Reader: Instigator of Readicide
06/03/2012 § 21 Comments
Let me start off by saying, I am NOT attending Library School to become a Library Media Specialist. My knowledge on the topic of Accelerated Reader and other reading management systems is something that I have only begun to explore. I'd like to thank fellow Hacker, Britt Foster and my cohort at Pratt SILS Camille Baker for sharing their AR resources and viewpoints with me.
I wanted to write a post on this topic ever since I visited my sister's classroom in California. Back in August 2011, I was helping her prep her classroom for the first day of school. Out of the various tasks that I was given, one of them was to sort the books from her library into baskets. Upon inspecting the books, I noticed that each book was labeled with a sticker that had a number attached at the spine. I asked her, "What's this number mean?" it certainly wasn't a Dewey number. She briefly introduced me to what is known as Accelerated Reader. This introduction incited my curiosity as well as questions like how is reading by a number level limit the reading choices of students? Does reading to reach a number of points change the choices that students are making in what they choose to read? Is this in every school across America? The following is some of my findings.
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a reading management program that a product of Renaissance Learning, it's designed to track students reading activity. The software that accompanied with AR provides computerized diagnostic tests to determine students reading levels, lists of books that correspond to their reading levels, book quizzes, as well as a data management system for teachers to use to keep track of students reading progress. The way AR works, is first, students take a diagnostic test to determine their Zone of Proximal Development, upon attaining their ZPD, student are to start reading books that fall in their book level (BL), and are to increment their book levels by reading books and taking book quizzes that test their reading comprehension of said book. Based on their performance of the book quizzes students receive points. The more a student reads and passes book quizzes the higher their reading level will be and the more points they will accumulate. The fact that points are awarded for passing a book quiz is to serve as a motivation for more reading. The collection of points can lead students to receive awards such as recognition at a school assembly, toys, gift certificates or even a pizza party.
Now, what's "Readicide"? And what does it have to do with AR? Readicide is a new term I discovered in while learning about AR, it was coined by a English high school teacher and author, Kelly Gallagher. He defines readicide as "the systematic killing of love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools". Let's look at some of the various criticisms that exist for AR, and how such criticisms lead me to believe that AR is a contributor to readicide rather than the solution.
One of the primary criticisms of AR that make it such a controversial subject is what it does to student's exploration of books and how it limits their recreational reading because students are limited to a list of books that fall in their book level. In my experience that's what I enjoyed the most, having the autonomy to choose what books I wanted to read, to not have to adhere to a list or a book level. That freedom that I have to choose from across genres is what made reading engaging to me. That doesn't happen with AR, rather than students having the choice of what they want to read students are choosing books according to what's dictated by their book level, and only choosing books according to how many points the book is worth. When teachers or schools encourage children to read for points, and to strive to reach X points by the end of the year, term, semester, etc. for X reward this alters a students book choice tremendously. This essay I found in the New York Times written by Susan Straight, sums up the problem, she says, "the passion and serendipity of choosing a book at the library based on the subject or the cover of the first page is nearly gone, as well as the excitement of reading a book simply for pleasure." That fun that used to be in browsing, noting intriguing titles, favorite authors, cover art, is stripped down to "how many points is the book worth?"
The next critique of AR which is the content of the book quizzes that children are required to take and pass in order to move up book levels. Most of the book quizzes, are based on the students memory recall of the book they have read. The questions are shallow, and don't require the critical skills that students should be mastering. My fellow hacker, Britt Foster, who happened to be young enough to have had AR in her school had the following to say about book quizzes "The ability to remember detail has nothing to do with critical thinking, analysis, and, especially for elementary students, their developmental level."
Another concern that involves both School Libraries and Public Libraries, is whether or not a students' rights to privacy is being compromised. When books are labeled and shelved according to BL, classmates can now see what BL the student is reading at. There aren't just privacy issues to deal with, but there is also the issue of how a children's library collection should be organized. Should Public Libraries and School Libraries be labeling their books according to book level? In my local library I saw that books were now being labeled with BL, and it saddens me to think what books are being missed when schools have adopted AR.
Lastly, I should say that the way that AR is implemented, is completely unique and depends upon the school and the teacher. Not all schools across the country are using it, there are other reading management systems. What I have found astounding, is that as school continue to use such programs, or begin to adopt them, there has been no conclusive data or research that can conclusively point to AR as a main factor in children's reading success. I hope that the readers who are in Library School for a Library Media Specialization or who are current Teacher Librarians, or Public Children's Librarians share their thoughts on Accelerated Reader and reading management systems in general. Would you agree that AR is an instigator or Readicide? Have you been a witness to success stories of students who have used AR? What positive aspects are there to having AR in schools?
§ 21 Responses to Accelerated Reader: Instigator of Readicide
I had Accelerated Reader in middle school. It was not really tied to grades or anything like that and from what I remember there were a couple of kids that used the same book to boost their points. What I do remember is that none of the traditional "smart" kids if you will ever had many points. It was more of a tool to try and improve reading levels for kids that started out in the lower levels. I also do remember having to read books I didn't like but I think once you scored a certain level they didn't make you participate anymore. Its really part of the larger trend tying "education excellence" to test scores so politicians can have a talking point about "improving" education levels and its really more about getting higher scores on standardized tests than about actually getting the kids to learn anything. It goes back to how can to quantify and measure something abstract like how well a teacher is doing teaching. I don't know if you can really call it readicide. A lot of the kids that didn't read well did improve and some were exposed to books they wouldn't normally read. I think the multitude of other entertainment options available today are more to blame for readicide than Accelerated Reader. At least it tries to incentivize reading to actually get them to read something.
"because students are limited to a list of books that fall in their book level."
Accelerated Reader was in our classroom on the old trusty Apple IIe computers back in the early '90s and I also worked with a similar program back around 2006 while volunteering in a middle school library during undergrad. If memory serves there wasn't a limit based on a person's book level. Students were free to go as low or as high as they wanted and the level was more a guideline than a hard and fast rule.
"The questions are shallow, and don't require the critical skills that students should be mastering."
From talking with teachers and the school librarian where this program was implemented it didn't seem like the goal was fostering critical thinking so much as just getting students to read and hoping that the habit stuck.
As I said before, we had AR in my elementary school back in the early '90s. I was already a voracious reader at the time, but AR definitely changed my reading habits the year that we had it in the classroom. I won the school AR competition that year by systematically going through the list to find the highest point value books on the list and polishing them off as quickly as possible.
And I think that was a good thing. I ended up reading classics I enjoyed that I probably never would have touched if it wasn't for Accelerated Reader bribing me to do so. Going through that list with mercenary intent ended up broadening my horizons and permanently altering my reading habits for the better.
There were a few kids who read a bunch of books because of the competition but didn't really read much otherwise. There were many who didn't want to have anything to do with Accelerated Reader beyond the one book every few weeks that was mandated for their grades.
As with all educational programs your results will vary based on the student, but AR definitely had a positive influence on me. And I saw the same thing happening with students at the middle school level when I was doing the volunteer gig. For a lot of students just getting them to crack open a book is the biggest battle, and tools like AR and similar programs are a powerful weapon in that fight.
In elementary school, I was a big fan of AR. It actually did what I suppose it set out to do in my case. It got me reading amd loving the books. Sure, there was a contest to see who could get the most points, but I never felt that AR was sucking the fun out of reading. I would pick a book out from the school library based on whether it looked good, and if it was an AR book, awesome! Excluding 2nd grade, I was the top point-earner in my class every single year. I guess AR was a good supplement to me because I already loved reading, and AR was a good way to show that off and get rewarded for it.
It wasn't a required thing in my school, just someone to do with reading. And I liked how the questions were more like a "Did you read the book?" test. It made sure I had caught the key points and wasn't just reading to win a trophy. Several times I would take a test on a book after only reading a small fragment, which wasn't very smart.
I think the biggest reason AR was successful in my case was because it wasn't required, it didn't have an agenda (or at least not to six-year-old me), and it made me want to finish a book.
I've been thinking a lot about fostering a love for reading because I work as a teen librarian at Austin Public Library and the majority of kids I see LOATHE reading. I'm not sure how useful AR is because, as you and others have mentioned, the incentives are fairly superficial. I could see, though, that if kids were encouraged to explore all books and not have to take a dumb test it would be better, but that is basically getting rid of the program and instead, just fostering a positive reading environment.
So what, then? I'm a fan of not having kids do things for extra credit or bonuses or anything, and just letting the "peer market" (so to speak) work itself out. So maybe offering opportunities for kids to do book talks (and providing them the resources to do them) or letting them lead a story time or read a chapter out loud to the class — just for fun.
Let me first say that I too am not a school media specialist although I've helped in two school libraries watching and learning why I helped cataloging and processing new books; I am a mom of three children, two of which did not like reading for a bit — one still doesn't and my daughter is now reading a ton. My two read books using a system similar to AR, but in a small group setting with a reading specialist.
Reading Teresa's post, I, too, had concerns about confidentiality. I also remember when my daughter was coming home with self-chosen books from the library meant to be at a much higher reading level–I held my tongue and embraced that she was thinking "reading" was now fun.
I may not have a good appreciation of the issues and/or benefits re this and like programs, but I know my kids would have been self-conscious carrying around a book with a big label on the spine identifying that the book was lower than many in their class.
Hi Teresa,
The only reason why I found your article on Accelerated Reader is because you used the image of the A.R. color-coded book level labels I created for my school's library and am now selling at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com.
I am a National Board Certified teacher and received the "Excellence in Teaching Award" from the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Educational Partnership. I am also the chairperson of our school's Accelerated Reader Program in which more than one hundred students read after school and take Accelerated Reader tests four days a week.
Today we had our monthly Accelerated Reader presentation in which almost two hundred prizes were given away for being in the 5-Point Club, 10-Point Club, 25-Point Club, etc. We usually begin our after school reading program on the third week of the new school year. However, this year we didn't begin until January because we received a $49,000 grant from the Golden State Foods Foundation to purchase 32 flat screen Apple computers. The G.S.F. Foundation gave us the money primarily to continue our successful Accelerated Reader Program when our old broken computers almost brought our after school reading program to an end. In two months, our students have read more than 9,000 books.
I am a product of the Los Angeles Unified School District. When I was in third grade, I would get up at 6:30 in the morning and read by the light of the hallway. I loved going to the library with my dad and siblings. I loved to read. Most of the students in my inner-city school do not have a personal library of books at home. Their parents do not take them to the public library. Before the Accelerated Reader Program was implemented at my school, the students would read "Chapter Books" even though they were reading at a first grade level. At the same time, there were many students who could read a fourth grade book, but would read first grade books during "Sustained Silent Reading" time.
The Accelerated Reader Program at my school helps a student find just the right book level. If the student receives 80% on an Accelerated Reader test for a book which is at a 3.5 book level, that book level is perfect for that student and will find another book which has a 3.5 book level. If the student receives 90% or 100% on the Accelerated Reader test, the student will find a book that is at a 3.6, 3.7, or 3.8 book level. If the student receives a score below 80%, that level is too difficult for the student, and the student will find a book at a 3.4, 3.3, or 3.2 book level.
I have created color-coded labels which also has the book level on it. Many school libraries use colored dots on the spines of their Accelerated Reader books. I have found that my book labels with the actual book levels are much easier for the students to find their books. Half of the library has the Accelerated Reader books arranged by book levels. Students can easily see the 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 books right underneath each other on three shelves. We also have the other half of the library with our non-Accelerated Reader fiction and nonfiction books. I once had a district librarian come to my school and directed me to use the Dewey Decimal System to arrange the books on the shelves. She told me that I didn't have a "working library." I told her that I had the best "working library" in the district because I have students who are actually reading books on their own after school. Luckily, I have had principals who have already seen the value of the Accelerated Reader Program and have allowed me to keep the books shelved according to book levels.
Many of my third grade students begin the school year reading at a first grade level. However, by the end of the year, they are reading at a second, third, and fourth grade level. Our kindergarten and first grade students do not know how to read in the beginning of the school year. We have upper grade students read "The Story of the Day" to the kindergarten and first grade students and then read the Accelerated Reader tests to them. Once these students are able to read 250 words by themselves, they are able to leave the "Story of the Day" group and join the upper grade students in the school library and the computer lab. It is heartwarming to see in January, February, and March our first grade students…one by one…learning how to read on their own and joining the "big kids" in the library.
Yes, we have monthly prizes. Yes, we have a huge end of the year presentation in which the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies are given to students who have acquired the most points in each grade. Yes, I use extrinsic rewards to motivate the students at my school to read…but it works. Many of these students become such good readers that they eventually learn "the love of reading."
The students in the after school reading program are actually reading in the library; they are not just socializing in the library. They are reading one, two, and three books a day. I doubt very much that they will be reading that many books if we did not have the Accelerated Reader Program at my school. I do not go home until 6:00 because I am working on the after school reading program. I do it because I know I am helping to change my students' lives. When they go to middle school and high school, they will have a chance to be reading on grade level and they will be able to read the texts and take the tests. If students cannot read the high school textbook, there is little wonder why we have so many of our students drop out of school.
If Bill Gates wants to change the future of America, he should buy Renaissance Learning, the company which created the Accelerated Reader Program. He should give all of the schools in America and around the world access to all of the Accelerated Reader tests online for free. Schools may copy my after school reading program or implement my individual class' Accelerated Reader Program. Our students will be able to read on grade level and have the tools to succeed in school and later on in the workforce.
Is my Accelerated Reader Program readicide? I invite anyone to my school so than you can judge for yourself. You will see forty kindergarten and first grade students intently listening to "The Story of the Day" so that they can answer comprehension questions even though they cannot read books on their own. You will see a smiling third grade student proudly tell you that she has made it to the 25-Point Club. You will see fifteen students, parents, and teachers volunteering their time to read the "Story of the Day," check out books in the library, or help in the Computer Lab. And yes, you will also see a fifth grade student who has already made it to the 100-Point Club in two months. This student quite simply loves to read…and she also reads books that do not have a corresponding Accelerated Reader test.
If you would like to know more about my Accelerated Reader Program for the entire school or for your own personal class, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also write me if you would like to know more about the Golden State Foods Foundation.
Wishing you the best,

At my son's school. the sudents are required to meet trimester AR goals and must do so to avoid corrective actions. The students are required to be at 25%, 50%,75% and 100% to goal at specific points during each trimester. If they do not achieve the needed percentage on time, they receive an "accountabilty" check (a mark against them on their school record). Our kids have the highest AR goals in their district and nearby districts. Parents at the school abhor the high goals and short period in which to achieve them. Students merely receive a charm for achieving their points….yet punitive results for not achieving them. I definitely feel that at our school AR goals cause readicide.
My daughter's school uses AR and it is a wonderful tool. It does not cause readicide. Most of the kids are motivated to read because they see other kids reading and taking test. I find it very misleading when people say that a child has a limited number of books to read. There is not a limited number of books that a child could test on. For example, for a 2.3 book level there are 1,549 books to choose from. There is a good mix of ficition and nonfiction to choose from. I actually am astonished when I find a book that is not AR. Most of the popular books that my child has an interest in reading are AR books. I think the most important thing about AR is that each parent and teacher need to realize that it is the students' own personal journey in learning to read.
My children, 3, were all exposed to AR in elementary school. They absolutely loved it and I believe read much more because of it. We and the teacher helped them set reading goals and meet them. The meeting of the goal was 10% of their grade. When they went to middle school they started to be exposed to "group" reading projects and one after another of mind numbing "reflective" reading activities. They all have maintained 3.5 GPAs or better and began to hate reading in the middle and high schools because the things that they had made automatic in their thinking by reading A LOT were cumbersome to whiny other kids. I disagree with the article and am very glad that the elementary school had AR, I just with the middle school had continued the process.
hi!,I really like your writing very much! proportion we be in contact more about your post on AOL?
I need an expert on this area to unravel my problem.
Maybe that is you! Taking a look ahead to look you.
This paragraph is in fact a nice one it assists new the web users, who are wishing for blogging.
You must preheat your oven and baking stone to start with, so set your
oven at 450 degrees and let it warm up for one-half hour.
Just get careful believed of what you can use it for when deciding how to decide on the excellent stand mixer.
My child's school just instituted AR this past year. She tested and was a 3.4 level in December, which was the 55th %ile and was representative of her education level – she was a 3rd grader in the 4th month of school and the level was appropriate. She figured quickly that if she cheated and tested without reading the entire book or tried to test on a book she read over the summer and had forgotten, she failed the test and lowered her average and didn't receive points. She learned how hard it was to get those points back up and began reading harder books and working at understanding them. She started to receive better grades on the quizzes and more and more points. She met her goal and was thrilled. Before the next "period" she was retested in March. She was at a 4.8 reading level in only 3 months. That was all AR. It may not work for some children, but my daughter is rewards-inspired. The AR format of testing, earning points and incremental assessments of reading level and watching hers improve and go up has really inspired her. Again, it may not work this way for all children so schools must assess this accordingly. Her school uses AR as a supplement and it is part of their reading grade. We are pleased to see her improvement and so is she. I believe this also boosted her confidence for her FCAT reading, the Florida state standardized test that they must take in 3d grade. She still has choices. There are plenty of times she wishes to read a book below her level and she does so, but knows she needs to balance it with one above her level to keep her average. She has choices to read short books or long books and the system helps her to balance her reading choices to her available time and is really assisting her with time management.
Hi there, I discovered your web site by way of Google while searching
for a comparable matter, your web site came up, it
appears to be like great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Hello there, simply was aware of your weblog through Google,
and located that it is really informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels.
I will appreciate should you proceed this in future. Lots
of other folks will be benefited out of
your writing. Cheers!
Reading is intrinsically rewarding. AR teaches students that they must be rewarded for reading (or punished for not reading enough or passing their lame tests). This sends the message that it is NOT intrinsically rewarding. It kills the love of reading. I dislike AR with a passion.
I KNOW books that you can take tests with out reading are buses,teachers,weather snow,if you read the three little pigs and bad wolf you will get 8 points,seasons,earths seasons,three pigs,and earthstilt. thanks I AM A fifth grader

text: Items 1 to 12 of 85 total 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ... 8 Next View: 12 / 24 / 48 Buy it! By Curtis on 4/21/14 Curtis would recommend this product to a friend I have just started into the Saltwater hobby and I just set up my RO/DI system. very easy and works very well. Buy it!!! By brandon on 4/17/14 brandon would recommend this product to a friend Arrived in one piece and works great. Was suprised by how well it really is built...wish id got it last year so id saved money. Great By Sam on 4/17/14 Sam would recommend this product to a friend Love this R/O machine BRS 6 Stage Chloramines DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD By james on 3/26/14 james would recommend this product to a friend This is a must have if you are going to keep a salt water tank. Even more so if you plan to keep a reef tank. When I look at the cost of a 2 or 3 or even a 4 stage RO/DI system andcompare to this 6 stage one IMHO it is a no brainer. I always get the best product I can afford. This system is easy to use install. It includes everything you need. Providing your tank with the best water is the same as providing yourself with the best food. If nothing you should always have a good RO/DI unit. Great product, packing for shipment needs to be better By Greg Dorp on 3/14/14 Greg Dorp would recommend this product to a friend I replaced a old RO system with this RO/DI system. The installation was very easy with the Mur-Lok fittings. I like the unit because it has a two meters one for the Filters and a TDS meter. The only problem I had was the unit came damaged, the water inlet and filter meter volume sensor was broken. Customer service was great an shipped out replacements asap. Then I found the connection between the first and second filter was also cracked when I finally was able to turn water back on. PS look it over closely before taking down your old system for damage. Excellent quality product loaded with options / features By Jeff on 2/27/14 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend Needed to update my RO unit. As my municipality treats our water with chlorine and ammonia (to create chloramines), this unit was ideally suited. As stated, it comes with many optional components to make installation simple, as well as a float vale. Build quality is very good. I've been running the unit for a few weeks and have had no difficulties with it. Both meters operate well. Buying this unit would save you a little money versus purchasing a bit less expensive one, and then adding some of the additional features over time. I also use for drinking water (plumbed to fridge and sink) before treating the water with the deionization unit. Easy to install By John on 2/1/14 John would recommend this product to a friend This was my first RO or DI system, and the installation was very straightforward. I did need to procure another adapter from the hardware store to accommodate a non-standard faucet connection, but that was it. The actual install went smoothly. Based on this experience, I'm adding a drinking water only system to my kitchen remodeling plans. Awesome By ExploziveAF on 1/17/14 ExploziveAF would recommend this product to a friend i was replacing a old 4 stage unit I have had for 6 years now. I finally decided to buy this model. my first NEW RO/DI, because I wanted the extra features, the better TDs meter, the filter monitor ( love this thing). the carbon flushing valve is a really nice feature to have and makes flushing the prefilters easy and hassle free. Super easy to use and install. i didn't use have the stuff that they sent me to hook it up with. But if i ever move and need to have it to re-install it, I can. Awesome unit. and looks great in my laundry-room, and its feeding my 35 gallon storage tank in the closet. P.S. Wish you would give the option to choose the adjustable float or the fixed. Would have loved the adjustable but fixed is working for now. Just a suggestion. :) worth every dollar By Michael on 1/8/14 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Easy to use, and the price is great. Don't cheap out on other brands as you should not risk your water quality for your fish and coral!! Our families main drinking water source By Michael on 12/31/13 Michael would recommend this product to a friend We originally purchased this to be used for our fish tank but are now using the RO portion everyday for main drinking and cooking water. We added a UV filter and an after market filter which adds minerals back into the water. We've had this system for close to a year and has been by far one of the better purchases we've made this year. We definitely got our money back out of it. We are no longer purchasing water in bottles. great system By erick on 12/29/13 erick would recommend this product to a friend all in all, this is a good rodi system. i had an issues with the tds meter when it arrived but they sent a new one out the next day. It's not their fault but they do have awesome customer service awesome but needed to be repaired By grm on 12/14/13 grm would recommend this product to a friend Great system but I had 2 issues. The plastic fitting between the 1st and 2nd stage was broken so I had to replace the plastic fitting with a brass fitting. This issue seems to be common. Second issue is the TDS sensor is mounted on the DI filters so it's measuring the input into the first filter when this sensor should be installed on the raw water feeding the 1st stage. No big deal to change but it should be noted to make this change.

Soft Structured Carriers
Boba Classic Baby Carrier
" This carrier is amazing. I got it just after my son turned 2 years old. I have been carrying him for just about a year. And we love it. He loves the back carry but we also do front carries for when he is tired. I am a very small mama. 105lbs 5'2". And this carrier is perfect for me. My son does not care too much for the foot straps, But they can be a good thing. I also use this carrier..." --Kasey Goodnough
Boba Carrier Organic 2G
" I couldn't rave enough about the Boba Carrier. I love it so, so much and my son adores it as well. The bad around the waist is so nice and large it makes it very comfortable, along with the straps and the part that goes around baby is so large, you can tell they feel nice and supported inside it, and it also makes for a perfect carrier for older babies. So if you have a tall, big baby like I..." --Ps Mamae
Patapum Baby Carrier
" This was a gift and it was by far the most valuable thing I was ever given for my son. I still use this carrier today (although I have modified it to have a longer body for his nearly 4 year old self). We used this carrier daily for at least two years when my son was a baby. It goes on so easily, and I can get him off while asleep and remain asleep. None of the buckles..." --Pumpkin_Pie
Patapum Toddler Carrier
" We got this carrier because at 6 months my daughter was 22 pounds, and we knew we would want to carry her past the weight limits of some of the other carriers. I used this carrier until she got to be tall enough to hit the back of my knees with her feet, which was at around 3.5 years old. I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

Endangered Bats Find Sanctuary in Israeli "Ghost Bunkers"
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Abandoned army bunkers a lifeline for bats, says a TAU researcher
Abandoned army bunkers along the Jordan River have become a habitat for 12 indigenous bat species, three of which are already designated as endangered and two that are on the critical list. The bats were recently identified by a group of Tel Aviv University researchers who were granted access to the bunkers, spread out along a 60-mile-long stretch of land between the Sea of Galilee in the north of Israel to the Dead Sea's northern edge.
According to Ph.D. student Eran Levin of TAU's Department of Zoology, the local bat population is estimated to be in the thousands. "There is no doubt that, by being in a closed military zone that has prevented human interference, the bat habitat allows these delicate creatures to thrive," he said. The underground forts have been empty since a peace treaty was signed with Jordan in 1994.
The researchers are now working to make the bunkers a more hospitable place for the bats by "roughing up" the steel and concrete walls — suspending mesh sheets and wooden pallets and spraying insulating foam and stuck stones to surfaces to provide a better grip. Night cameras have also been installed to keep an eye on the bats' movement and behavior.
The bats are earning their lodging by serving as an asset to the environment. They each eat a few grams of insects every night, reducing the need for pesticides.
For the full story on the bats' new habitat, see the ynetnews.com story:http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4181656,00.html

Indiana Pacers Playoff Schedule
Monday, 8:00 PM
Saturday, TBD
Pacers Ticket Info
Frank Vogel's Indiana Pacers were one of the stingiest defensive team in the NBA last season. Indiana won the Central Division with a 49-32 record and finished 3rd overall in the Eastern Conference. IUPUI product George Hill established himself as a legitimate star in the league thanks to his incredible offensive output throughout the regular season and the playoffs.
The Pacers were a real bright spot in the Eastern Conference last season. After finishing third in the standings, Indiana looked incredibly focused heading into the postseason. In the first round the Pacers handled the Atlanta Hawks with relative ease. Despite losing two games on the road, the Pacers were able to close out Atlanta in six games. They went on to face the Knicks in the Conference Semifinals, knocking off New York in six games as well. Many didn't feel that the Pacers would have much of a shot against the defending champion Miami Heat but that was certainly not the case. In arguably the best series of the playoffs, the Pacers took the Heat to seven games.
Check out our great selection of Indiana Pacers tickets and place your order today. From the regular season to the postseason GoTickets is the place to go to catch every game at Conseco Fieldhouse this season.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Honor
2012 September 7
NYFW Spring 2013: Honor, Creatures of The Wind, Chadwick Bell, Monika Chiang
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Honor
It seems only fitting that medical student turned designer Giovanna Randall kicked off Spring with a lesson in human anatomy, n'est-ce pas? That macrame trim on silk blouses? An homage to the spinal cord. How about the cocktail dresses with symmetrical string caging at the back? A nod to the rib cage, of course! More subtle forms of inspiration played out in a cluster of transparent party frocks from a white organza gown with a nude corset peeking through the bodice to a neon green floral tea dress with microsparkle cap sleeves highlighting the shoulders. You know what they say: A new dress a day, keeps the pain away...or something like that.
Creatures of The Wind
Last season, Shane Gabier and Chris Peters took a inspirational page out of the seventeenth century tome The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies (a Times best-seller, no doubt), but for Spring, the Chicago duo refrained from the mystical marvels for a more mainstream approach: sixties couture. And with couture, comes technique. Case in point: A black hand-loomed cotton and plastic raffia structured vest atop an oatmeal silk organza and cotton skirt festooned with hand embroidered Swarovski crystals. Or a marigold and pink silk chiffon textured corset dress with butterfly applique. Tailored jacquard trousers and boxy jackets in blue, pink, and green, along with a swinging coat or two, rounded out the retro selection. But it was the opening ecru cotton canvas blazer patchworked with snake print poly lame and leather that had us at hello.
Chadwick Bell
"The Chadwick Bell girl was crazy and out of her box for Fall 2012," said Chadwick Bell to The Daily pre-show. "This season, she's on a crusade for clarity. Maybe it's paralleling with my life!" With that in mind, a palette-cleansing parade waltzed out onto the runway with mods sporting clean, elegant silhouettes in neutral tones, from floaty white ethereal dresses to sophisticated separates, like a black and nude leather blocked jacket paired with a silk georgette blouse and slim black trousers. Need a burst of color on occasion? Pas de problème! Take your pick between a standout emerald green gown, golden lace suiting, or a sleek pink palm dress and jacket duo. If this is Bell's "Nirvana" collection, consider us enlightened, darlings.
Monika Chiang
A bit of South African sojourn, a dose of sportif detailing, and some glitz for good measure. Such was the recipe for Monika Chiang's latest, an exotic urban safari where windbreaker-esque minis mingled with heavily beaded tanks, inspired by Chiang's recent journey to South Africa (hence the melon and jungle green shades, the designer told The Daily). Given all the ruggedly adventurous inflections, The Daily wondered about Chiang's spirit animal. "Something exotic, slinky, graceful, and elegant like a panther or an Egyptian mountain cat," said Chiang. Also of note: it was hard to pull one's attention away from the shoes, as stingray, chains, and chunky platformed wedges ruled down below.
