Being a slave is not something we can not stop,but those victims who will help them???some people even today they are slave in one way or another.But may be it is difficult to understand the meaning (SLAVE).and if you come from very poor country,and you are afraid of sending you back to your country!!that is the big problems,victim decide to close there mouth and hope may be one day things will be better.I do not know,some one must listen to the victims,and am not sure if anyone in Sweden will get help for that,especially poor girls,no one listen.My self I would like to do something about it.God bless you people.
God give you grace,wisdom,understanding and the resources to do so.To be a slave even in ones birthplace-GOD will help us in Africa.The rich getting richer and the poor getting "purer"every day.Let us all prepare for the kingdom of Christ,for it is in it alone would we not find slavery,racism,oppression,deception,betrayals of leaders,torture,rape,etc.JESUS CHRIST WILL SOON RETURN TO THIS EARTH AS JUDGE OF ALL.God bless you.

I'm kind of bored to death at work so I made up my mind to browse your posts on my laptop during lunch break. Have they attempted to reach out to other experts that have an understanding about this topic? Cool article, exactly what I needed. Does this blog have a page where I can send a message? I am having a hard time locating it but, I'd love to send you an e-mail.

Needed to draft you one very little raremk to help thank you over again over the striking techniques you have contributed at this time. This is simply pretty generous of you to give publicly just what some people might have marketed as an e-book to end up making some bucks on their own, primarily now that you could possibly have done it if you ever wanted. The thoughts in addition acted to become a fantastic way to fully grasp someone else have similar dreams the same as my personal own to grasp somewhat more when considering this issue. I think there are lots of more pleasurable situations ahead for individuals who check out your blog post.

Has anyone heard about Lidia Cacho fighting against human trafficking in Mexico? She´s an amazing and courageous human being. She recently had to flee her country after being threaten... She should be in this list... She has done an amazing journalism job in the subject...
Hello Midgi.
Some of our most powerful advocates to leave our college in Hong Kong have been Mexican. They are now at university and I am absolutely confident they will be making change happen. Lidia is not alone.
Slavery and human trafficking isn't going to end until we make it end. There just isn't enough activism currently in the world to be effective because there is still much denial and many governments don't see the exploitation and enslavement of their own people important enough to prioritise. We live in Hong Kong and the general population is extremely under informed about this issue which really is a shame considering Hong Kong's shameful Tier 2 classification on the Trafficking in Persons Report 2012. Things however are slowly changing; our group is working with Schools, Colleges and Universities; we hold presentations and workshops and invite guest speakers to address large audiences. We support NGOs in Cambodia and Nepal who investigate, rescue, rehabilitate, resettle and support survivors and our group takes with them their experiences all over the world and become activists. For anyone reading this – a little research will open up the reality that contemporary slavery and human trafficking needs to finally take its place in history as a disgraceful part of human exploitation of our own kind. We need to work together on this forgetting our cultural and religious differences so that the voiceless will never again experience their loss of freedom and human rights. If we all get active together and keep the momentum going, change will happen.

Thank you, I've recently been looking for info about this subject for a long time and yours is the best I have found out till now. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?|What i do not understood is if truth be told how you're not actually much more smartly-favored than you may be now. You are very intelligent.
Excellent post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I'm impressed! Extremely helpful info specifically the closing section 🙂 I maintain such info much. I was seeking this certain info for a long time. Thanks and good luck.
Why cant we get to the Root of this problem instead of balming on top.
I have a suggestion that all countries should come under some sort of UN organisation and trading could be carried only with countries who have a clean record on human slavery and child labour.Products and items should be banned if child is employed in the firm.We are going for many quality controls and ISO and environemental labels WHY DONT WE HAVE THIS ON OUR PRODUCTS .ITS AGAIN I FEEL AT UNEASE ABOUT VOICING THESE OVER AND OVER AGAINI
Sadly there are no countries on our planet that are not involved in some form of slavery and human trafficking. An organisation styled on the UN I'm afraid won't work either because it will be too weak like the UN. What we need is to address gender discrimination, corruption within governments and honest business practices that don't exploit workers.
Why Albania is not on the list? and what should be done to be included? thanks
I noticed that a lot of the links here are broken. Can you update them. This list is still high in google search so I'm sure a lot of people are still using it.

Он всегда намеревался сменить собственную убитую машину на что-то поновее, поскольку и на девчёнок впечатление производит, и репутацию повышает, и мороки значительно поубавится. Это намерение оказалось просто-напросто его назойливой мыслью. И прикиньте, в один вечер он просто выиграл в Интернет-казино zerorelax.com значительную сумму и смог обменять машину. Так вот размышляю, а может надо и мне попытаться – и нигде ходить не надо, и денег можно выиграть, и время хорошо провести.

Abortion Ship Campaigns
Women on Waves sails a ship to countries where abortion is illegal. With the use of a ship, early medical abortions can be provided safely, professionally and legally. Applicability of national penal legislation, and thus also of abortion law, extends only to territorial waters; outside that 12-mile radius (or 2 hours sailing) it is thus Dutch law that applies on board the ship, which means that all our activities are legal.
Millions of women worldwide have used Mifepristone and Misoprostol to terminate pregnancy with impressive safety and efficacy. The medicines have been on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines since 2005.
Women on Waves has already created enormous public interest in its efforts and has completed successful campaigns in Ireland (2001), Poland (2003,) and Portugal (2004), Spain (2008), Morocco (2012), Guatemala (2-2017) and Mexico (4-2017).
Abortion ship Mexico, April 2017
Women on Waves arrived in Ixtapa on April 19 th on the invitation of more than 40 Mexican women's organisations. Abortion is only legal in Mexico DF since 10 years but abortion is still illegal in the rest of Mexico.
On April 20 th, before announcing the campaign publicly, the ship… Read more »
Abortion ship Guatemala, February 2017

Although Guatemalan law only permits abortion to… Read more »

Women on Waves visited Spain from October 16 till 21, 2008 at the invitation of 33 Spanish organisations concerned with a better abortion law.
In Spain, abortion was only legal when case the pregnancy poses a threat to the physical or mental health of the woman, or in case of rape or fetal… Read more »
Abortion ship Portugal 2004
The Women on Waves ship Borndiep stayed in international waters, 12 miles from Figueira da Foz a small holliday town in Portugal, from August 28 till September 9, 2004. The ship was being blocked to enter Portuguese national waters by two Portuguese war ships. Read more »

Two high-profile new comedies have landed showrunner reinforcements.
NBC's White House comedy "1600 Penn" has set Mike Royce ("Men of a Certain Age") as exec producer and showrunner. Fox's "Ben and Kate" has wooed Garrett Donovan and Neil Goldman, the pair who have just come off NBC's "Community."
Both laffers hail from 20th Century Fox TV.
A high number of new series were greenlit without showrunners this year, in part because studios and nets are putting a premium on finding new voices, particularly for comedies (Daily Variety, May 11).
But there's no question that seasoned hands are needed to get a show on its feet once the time comes to deliver another 12 episodes, at minimum, on a tight sked. That has primed the marketplace for showrunners with strong track records. Indeed, 20th TV went out of its way to recruit Royce and Goldman and Donovan with overall deals earlier this year.
Royce most recently shepherded dramedy "Men of a Certain Age" through its much-praised two seasons on TNT, and he also served a long tenure on CBS' "Everybody Loves Raymond."
"Penn" was written by former White House speechwriter Jon Lovett and shepherded through the pilot process by "Modern Family" helmer-exec producer Jason Winer.
Donovan and Goldman have spent the past three seasons on NBC's cult-fave Thursday laffer, and before that they logged seven seasons on NBC/ABC's "Scrubs."
"Ben and Kate" was penned by feature scribe Dana Fox ("Knight and Day," "Couples Retreat") and helmed by Jake Kasdan.

Labels: Rossi Joins Villareal
Rossi joins Villareal.
Manchester United forward Giuseppe Rossi has joined Villarreal for a dee reported to be £6.7m.But United have inserted a clause in Giuseppe Rossi's contract which would allow the Reds to buy the striker back from Villarreal.
Rossi spent last season on loan at Newcastle and then Parma, where he scored nine goals in 19 matches to keep them in Seria A. Parma also reportedly £5.4m bid for rossi but the deal could not be agreed.
Villarreal who sold Diego Forlan, an ex-United player to Atletico Madrid for £14m, needed a striker for new season.
Rossi scored 13 goals in 19 starts for the reserve team in his first season at Old Trafford and was highly rated by Sir Alex Ferguson.

FHA 203k Mortgages & Multi-Unit Family Properties
Another Great Use!
Buying and rehabbing a multi-family unit property can be done using the FHA 203k loan. I've done a few of these loans and they are absolutely great! I'm currently doing one right now — it's a four-unit property and it's a big job. The FHA 203k loan limits, which you can check out here, are much higher as the units go up. So, the total rehab cost for this four-unit property is over $600,000. It's an enormous project and it's one of the really cool things the FHA 203k allows you to do. In this situation, this customer is going to live in one of the units and, ultimately, he is going to be collecting income from the other three units. So, by doing this rehab, he is going to be able to bring in a good portion of income on a yearly basis. It's one of the great features of the FHA 203k loan. The maximum amount of units you can do is a four-unit property. You can obviously do two units; you can do three units- it all just depends on what is available in your area. FHA 203k loans are greatly for these types of properties, but the important part to remember is with any FHA 203k loan, it is for primary residences only. So you must, YOU MUST live in one of the units. This is extremely important because, again, the FHA 203k loan is not for investors. Investors may be coming down the road, but for now, this is not for investors, it is only for primary residences only.
Reserves With 3-4 Unit Properties
Another thing to keep in mind is that with three and four unit properties is you must have a certain amount of reserves. The amount of reserves is three months, which, again, is liquid or retirement funds- anything which would be considered assets in some sort of bank account or IRA. Basically, something that we can show that they would be able to tap into in case they would run into problems, but, again, this is only required for three and four-unit properties The three and four units must self-support as well, which means the rental payments must be able to sustain the mortgage on its own, so that's another important feature to keep in mind when you're talking about a three or four unit property.
Two unit properties are just like a one unit.
But, again, there are little special nuances when we're talking about multi-unit properties. There are a lot of areas in the City of Philadelphia, for one. The large project that I'm doing right now, the $650,000 rehab, is in Jersey City. It's really close to the subway, which allows somebody to get back and forth from New York which is great because there's a lot of people in New York that rather come to New Jersey for the cheaper rent and the ability to save a little bit money. Those are other good reasons why those properties are so popular in such areas.
Supplement Your Income!
The FHA 203k mortgage allows for some great different types of properties and allows you to really make some money. As a landlord who lives there, an occupying landlord, you're able to make some additional money each month and that's a great thing to supplement your income. And in these times – there are more people renting, so it's great for anybody who's interested in adding a little bit of extra money in their pocket and building equity you should consider doing an FHA 203k loan on any multi-unit family property.
Got something to say?

The gang's all here: Full squad is in camp
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The wait is over.
All 64 Mets have officially reported to camp in advance of Saturday's first full-squad workout. For the first time in at least four years, no players were delayed by visa issues.
Position players took their physicals early Friday morning and, with a few exceptions, took the rest of the day off. It was their last chance for some rest; the team does not have another scheduled off-day until March 19.
"The reason why Spring Training is six weeks long is for pitchers," Collins said, "but it's about the team. When the team shows up, there's a little bit more energy."
Collins did not plan to regale his players with a lengthy speech on Saturday morning, preferring to save that for later in camp once cuts are made.
"Then it has a little bit more meaning," he said. "Some of these guys are going to be gone in 10 days, two weeks, whatever it might be, so I'm going to hold off on the big message until a little bit later in Spring Training."

When it comes to pleat options for custom drapes, there may not be anywhere that provides you with a wide selection of pleat styles than DrapeStyle. Here are some of the "standard" drapery pleat options we offer with sketches. Please keep in mind that these are just "standard" options. Since we manufacturer all of our custom drapes internally, we have the ability to make any pleat style you can imagine.
Images are below but let's give a brief description of each drapery pleat style:
- Inverted Pleat: The Inverted Pleat is a very clean and tailored pleat which is considered a more contemporary pleat style. Our Inverted pleat is 4 inches in length and is available in all drapery fabrics.
- 8-Inch Inverted Pleat: The 8-Inch Inverted Pleat is the same as the standard inverted pleat but the actual pleat is twice as long than the standard inverted style.
- Flat Pleat: The Flat Pleat is the most basic custom drapery panel wherein the top, or "header" of the drapery panel is not pleated but left flat. These panels are hung using drapery pins which are installed on the back of the panel.
- Cartridge Pleat: The Cartridge Pleat is somewhat "Transitional" in style meaning that it can be used in "Traditional" style homes as well as more "Contemporary" style homes. At DrapeStyle we used a Patent Pending process to make our Cartridge Pleats wherein we fill the void in the center of the pleat with a foam insert. The insert supports the pleat so that is maintains a uniform size and also prevents insects from "living" in the pleat of the drape. We also offer a Goblet Pleat (not shown) which is similar to the Cartridge with a shorter and wider cartridge that looks like a wine goblet.
- French Pleat: The French Pleat is probably our most popular pleat style. The French Pleat is also the most traditional and recognizable drapery pleat we offer.
- Parisian Pleat: Similar to the French Pleat, the Parisian Pleat consists of three "fingers" that are sewn together. On the Parisian Pleat the fingers are then "tacked" at the top of the pleat creating a "pinch". Because of this "pinch" the Parisian Pleat is also referred to as a "Pinch" Pleat style.
- Grommets: Grommet Drapery Panels are the most contemporary of our pleat styles. We offer several options of grommet colors and sizes including those which are made for use on outdoor drapes. All of our grommets are inserted by hand in our own Workroom.
- Rod-Pocket: We offer two versions of the traditional rod-pocket drapery panel. The most basic is a simple rod-pocket where a pocket is sewn into the top of the drapery panel where the drapery rod is inserted. We also offer a rod-pocket with flange where we leave a 2-inch portion of fabric at the top of the panel which will remain above the drapery rod. Neither of the rod-pocket options will include drapery pins or hooks that are used to attach the panel to rings.
When it comes to selecting the right pleat for your custom drapes, there really isn't a "correct" pleat style to choose. Call one of our Designers and we'll be happy to send you more images and help you select the perfect pleat for your window.

Did Fatdog 601 brick my Motorola razr xt890?
Connected my daughter's new Motorola XT890 (Android 4.04) to computer running fatdog 6.0.1 (from usb stick no savefile). Phone was on.
System saw a drive - I seem to remember a cd type icon - clicked on that and file manager opened with 4 files.- 1 .exe and 1 other binary neither of which I clicked on and 2 text files - I think one was .ini. I looked at both of those in geaney and quit without changing anything or saving. It looked like some sort of windows autorun and installer.
No other files visible. Removed the phone and it seemed ok. My daughter thinks I did not unmount before disconnecting. I can't remember.
Switched off the phone and it will not switch back on. I seem to have bricked it. I tried reconnecting but phone off and no drive seen
Anyone any ideas what went wrong? Fix?

to discharge any latent power.
Pop battery in and power up.

Perhaps this might help (however, note the specific description of the "power on" behavior):

I also suggest reading the other Motorola XTxxx forum entries at that same web site before trying anything software wise!
Hope this helps.

Yup, you're right - it an xt890 not 990. It was late here in London when I posted and did not notice the error. Thanks for the info - I'll have to study that site.
Problem for me is I've only got one legacy box at the moment - running windows 98se crashmatic. I would not dare to try that machine even if the script would run on it. Too unstable. Tried new drivers, 2 reinstalls, lucky if it stayed up for an hour or so. Marvellous os though - drove me to Linux. Tried an early version of Mandrake - rock steady. The rest is history.
Looks like I'll have to repair the power socket on the old Acer lapdog ASAP. That's still got xp on it. Been meaning to set the brute up to dual boot so I can actually use the thing.
What intrigues me is what did I or fatdog do that the phone did not like? I only opened 2 text files, decided it was an install for some sort of windows driver and backed off. I'm usually v careful to unmount before disconnecting, but my daughter, who was watching and whose new phone it is (oops) thinks I forgot this time. Perhaps that corrupted something?

My experience with unplugging without unmounting is that it seems to corrupt the partition table on the device I just yanked. While it doesn't actually wipe the drive, the effect is the same -- because the computer no longer knows where to find anything. BTW, creating a new partition table in gparted wipes everything anyways (or so gparted tells me).

Thanks for the info -I have had a look at the XDA site - most interesting - but seems largely about rooting the phone and the consequences of doing so. Nothing specific about my situation. Don't want to make the situation worse than it already is.
Starhawk - I think you may well be right- I was leaning to that conclusion myself. Unless of course the problem is completely unrelated. There's a fundemental law of physics about coincidences of this sort.
My daughter and I both think its best if we send the brute back to Mota and let them sort it.
Now here's the weird bit:
Ruth and I had both tried switching it on many times, including multiple tries at factory reset start - hold down vol down button and press on button - in each case all that happened is the little green led at the top came on and stayed on until the on button was pressed again.
Then after about 20 tries she presses the on button by accident and the beast boots. All seems to be ok and the phone is stable - did not try calls / data as she had removed the sim to put it in another phone and we have no wifi here at home - use ethernet for security. She tried to do a reset from the menu and all went ok until the phone came to reboot. Back to refusing to start.
Another 20 or so tries and it boots. None of the contact info etc that should have been deleted had been. She's managed to boot it 3 times now each time after about 20 goes. Not sure yet if its exactly 20.
I wonder if the phone does something every 20 boots? fsck or something? All I know is its Android 4.0.4 on intel not arm. Know nothing about android, file system etc.

Hi @Busydog.
What you describe may be a hardware problem with the phone which happened coincidental to the FATDOG connection. I say "may".
You might want to call the Telco (if the phone is still under warranty) or you may also want to contact Moto (they have a reasonable tech support group) for their advice. They may have seen this problem before, as, the problem
be unrelated to FATDOG.
Hoping you get the phone back to behaving.

If you can get the phone to start, it might be worth plugging it in, either in win or fatdog, and mounting it and then safely unmounting.
If that has no affect, try mounting it, and running a fsck or chkdsk on the phone's storage.
I had a similar problem a number of times with phones that I didn't unmount, and found I could fix it with a file system check.

Everybody Needs Love: Music by Mika Cole - 0 views
shared by Michael J on 27 Mar 10 - Cached
Michael J on 27 Mar 10Mika Cole is a natural talent. Her voice is very compelling, sweet, soft, and a voice that deserves mainstream recognition and attention. Her talent is not only restricted to her voice either. She is well diverse in art of piano, guitar, violin, flute, congas, and she writes her own music and lyrics. Mika's seductive voice resembles closely with the big voice of Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera. To listen, go to http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-03-26T06_00_54-07_00 Read my exclusive interview with Mika on http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/03/life-rooted-in-music-interview-with.html

It is not clear whether Lee, who told PRWeek she was 'looking forward to taking on a new and exciting challenge that delivers full integration to clients', has a job to go to.
The CEO role has been taken over by Ketchum's Europe CEO and UK chairman David Gallagher. An agency spokeswoman said he would be in the role 'indefinitely'.
Gallagher said: 'We are grateful for Avril's achievements during her time at Ketchum. We thank Avril for her many years of service and wish her all the best.'
Lee worked her way up to partner level at the Omnicom-owned agency, rising through its healthcare practice, and was appointed UK CEO in February 2011.
Lee said: 'I have decided to leave Ketchum having spent nearly ten years at the company. I've run Ketchum London successfully for many years now, most recently as CEO for two years and before that as Deputy CEO for several years.
'In this time I've achieved many of my professional goals and worked with world leading clients on fantastic campaigns as well as adding innovative new offers and service in London.
'It has also been great to see this recognised with numerous agency awards in the last few years.'

This document is an excerpt from the EUR-Lex website
Cohesion Fund
Cohesion Fund
Cohesion Fund
This summary has been archived and will not be updated, because the summarised document is no longer in force or does not reflect the current situation.
Cohesion Fund
This Regulation establishes the Cohesion Fund which part-finances action in the fields of the environment and transport infrastructure of common interest with a view to promoting economic and social cohesion and solidarity between Member States.
Council Regulation (EC) No 1164/94 of 16 May 1994 establishing a Cohesion Fund [See amending acts]
Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded- Annex II: List referred to in Article 20 of the Act of Accession - 15. Regional Policy and coordination of structural instruments [OJ L 236 of 23.9.2003]
Eligible activities
The Cohesion Fund aims to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the Community through the balanced financing of projects, technically and financially independent project stages and groups of projects forming a coherent whole, in the fields of the environment and trans-European transport infrastructure networks.
The Cohesion Fund also contributes to preliminary studies related to such projects and their implementation, as well as technical support measures such as comparative studies, impact studies, monitoring and, since entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999, publicity and information campaigns.
All projects financed must be compatible with the Treaties and instruments adopted under them and with Community policies, especially those concerned with protection of the environment, transport, trans-European networks, competition and the award of public contracts.
Eligible Member States
Eligibility is restricted to Member States whose per capita gross national product (GNP) is less than 90 % of the Community average and which have a programme designed to achieve the conditions of economic convergence as set out in Article 104 of the Treaty establishing the European Community. At the moment Greece, Spain, Ireland and Portugal are eligible to benefit from the Cohesion Fund. Following enlargement, the 10 new EU Member States are also eligible.
Suspension of eligibility
If the GNP of a Member State benefiting from the Cohesion Fund rises above the 90 % threshold, it may no longer receive funding for new projects or new stages of a project. Accordingly, Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999 provides for a mid-term review before the end of 2003, based on per capita GNP. When this review establishes that a Member State is no longer eligible, financial support from the Cohesion Fund ceases. It was established following the 2003 review that Ireland was no longer eligible under the Cohesion Fund from 1 January 2004.
The conditionality procedure has been changed to allow the Commission to alert the Council if a Member State fails to fulfil its obligations under the stability and convergence programme and allows its public deficit to exceed 3 %, without suspending financing pending the return of until the deficit to 3 %.
Where financing is to be suspended, the Council may exceptionally decide to defer suspension in the case of projects directly affecting more than one Member State.
Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999 sets the total resources available for commitments for 2000-06 at EUR 18 billion at 1999 prices. The Act concerning the conditions of accession of the ten new Member States grants a total of EUR 7.59 billion in commitment appropriations at 1999 prices for those countries between 1 May 2004 and 31 December 2006.
How the overall resources of the Fund are allocated among the Member States depends on a number of criteria: each country's population and area, its per capita GNP and socio-economic factors such as the infrastructure it has. However, the total amount that these Member States receive from the Cohesion Fund each year, together with the assistance they receive from the Structural Funds, may not exceed 4 % of their GDP.
Approval of projects
The Member States submit their applications for assistance for projects to the European Commission. Applications must contain the information specified in the Regulation (the body responsible for implementing the project, a project description, cost - the total cost may not be less than EUR 10 million -, location, investment timetable, assessment of the impact on employment and the environment, and information on public procurement).
Applications must also comply with certain criteria designed to ensure the quality of projects (generation of medium-term economic and social benefits commensurate with the resources deployed, conformity with the priorities established by the Member States, significant and balanced contribution to Community policies on the environment - including the "polluter pays" principle - and trans-European networks, and consistency with other Community structural measures).
Rate of assistance
The Cohesion Fund contributes a maximum of between 80 % and 85 % of public or equivalent expenditure on projects. However, since 1 January 2000 the Regulation states that it is possible to reduce this rate to take account of any revenue generated by the project and any application of the "polluter pays" principle.
Where projects generate income, as in the case of infrastructure which users pay directly to use and productive investments in the environment sector, the Commission takes account of the income generated when calculating the assistance to be granted by the Cohesion Fund.
Exceptionally, the full cost of preliminary studies and technical support measures may be financed. However, the total expenditure thus incurred may not exceed 0.5 % of the total resources of the Fund.
Overlapping of assistance
No item of expenditure may receive assistance from both the Cohesion Fund and a Structural Fund at the same time. Assistance from the Cohesion Fund, the Structural Funds and other Community aid may not exceed 90 % of the total expenditure on a project.
Financial provisions
Appropriations are committed either by committing 80 % in the grant decision and the 20 % balance later - a "single" undertaking - or, in the case of projects receiving assistance of more than 50 million euros, in annual instalments. The Commission may in appropriate cases commit in one year only the total amount of assistance granted in its Decision.
To qualify for reimbursement, expenditure must have been incurred by the Member State after the date on which the Commission receives the relevant application. A 20 % advance (pre-financing) is paid after the signing of substantial public contracts. Interim payments made after the initial advance must also be closely linked to implementation of the project.
Financial control
Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999 clearly states that the financial control of projects is primarily the responsibility of the Member States. To ensure that the Fund is used in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, they must check that the projects financed are managed correctly, prevent and detect irregularities and recover any amounts lost as a result of irregularities.
The Commission in turn ensures that the Member States' management and auditing systems are functioning smoothly. To that end it may carry out on-the-spot checks, in accordance with the rules on cooperation in Annex II to the Regulation, on systems and projects financed by the Fund. It may also ask Member States to verify the correctness of transactions.
Appraisal, monitoring and evaluation
Before a project is approved, the Commission and the Member States must make an appraisal to assess whether it complies with the Regulation. During its implementation they must make any adjustments needed, and after its completion they must evaluate whether and to what extent the project has achieved its original objectives.
IMPLEMENTATION OF REGULATION (EC) No 1164/94
Council Regulation (EC) No 1265/1999, adopted on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1164/94, makes a number of changes to the Regulation's implementing rules with a view to improving the use of the Cohesion Fund. The main changes concern the following aspects:

The Flaws in the Fed Model
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
There are perfectly reasonable arguments that can support an upbeat outlook on the stock market. Unfortunately for crafters and consumers of sound bites, one of the simplest and most popular bullish assertions is irrelevant.
This is the common, intuitive, yet specious claim that because yields on 10-year Treasury notes are near record lows at 1.64%, stocks are so flattered into appearing cheap by comparison that surely they must rise. The only way to watch an hour of financial television without hearing that one is to hit the mute button.
The idea here, once formalized as the "Fed Model," is that stocks' "earnings yield" (reported or forecast operating earnings for the S&P 500, divided by the index level) should tend to track the Treasury yield in some fashion. With this earnings yield now above 7%, based on a trailing price-to-earnings ratio near 13, this model and its various offshoots render equities a no-brainer buy. Or, if one prefers, that Treasuries are in a reason-defying bubble.
This simply doesn't hold up in theory or practice. The Fed Model only "worked" as a predictor of market action in the 1980s and '90s, when bond yields were steadily descending and stock values consistently rising as inflation and interest rates were slowly strangled. Both before that period and since, the Fed Model relationship has been mostly a non sequitur in terms of foretelling market performance.
Much of the Treasuries-versus-stocks talk conjures an imaginary comparison shopper, compelled always to buy something and evaluating these two lone choices on equivalent terms. Yet between Treasuries—the ultimate safety and liquidity play—and equities resides just about the entire spectrum of available asset classes to choose among. If Treasury yields driven lower in a flight from risk somehow improve the attractiveness of stocks, they also do so for corporate debt, munis, real estate, diamonds, McDonald's franchises, and all the rest.
Then there are the facts that the Federal Reserve's zero short-term rate policy is forcibly anchoring Treasury yields, that the U.S. isn't even among the bottom six in terms of government issuers in terms of low yields, and that institutional Treasury buyers are mostly seeking liquidity and security—not great value or juicy returns—in a world where low-risk assets are scarce.
There is no dearth of riskier, cyclically exposed investment instruments such as common stocks on today's planet. And while many are warning about the economic risks of tumbling over the "fiscal cliff" of expiring tax breaks and stimulus measures after Dec. 31, few note the corollary "risk" that it would also mean a steep drop in Treasury issuance.
Of course, some bond-market action can provide good equity-market cues. On a more apples-to-apples basis, a fifth of S&P 500 companies have dividend yields that exceed prevailing yields on 10-year corporate debt, notes SunTrust Banks strategist Keith Lerner. That helps explain the 44 straight weeks of net inflows into dividend-oriented mutual funds, according to EPFR Global.
Also, the magnitude of the recent drop in Treasury yields, has more often than not been associated with a climax in fear and subsequent good stock-market returns.
In the past few years, stock indexes and government yields have tended to rise and fall together, both reacting to changes in risk appetites in a developed world where deflation and weak growth are the larger threats. Stocks would ultimately do better under the circumstances—lowered financial-contagion fear and firmer growth expectation—that would lead to, say, 2.5% 10-year Treasuries.
LAST WEEK'S CLIMB IN the 10-year yield from 1.47% to 1.64%, then, was quite logical and welcome, given stock indexes' nifty 3.7% weekly bounce. Not every bounce begins a lasting recovery, for sure, yet this rebound, the best weekly gain of the year, is at least modestly encouraging. There was an apparent glimmer of recognition that the market selloff since April had over-extrapolated an unusually one-sided run of disappointing domestic economic indicators, while overlooking the windfall of sharply lower energy costs.
Of course, the bounce also came as Fed officials, Chinese central planners, and European financial overseers sent messages acknowledging a need to support growth and fight contagion. It's never good when markets catch a bid based on hope for imminent policy-maker action, and in past years, markets have had to throw a far nastier tantrum than they have this year before anything halfway effective emerged from official policy. Are the heartbreaking Greek experience and Spain's desperate banks producing a there-but-for-God's-grace-go-we motivation by others in Europe to at least attempt proactive measures?
Not likely, the markets seem to be saying, but not impossible either.

A content repository comprises repository items that correspond to documents maintained in a hierarchical name space. A content repository typically serves as a source of content items to display to a user, directly or as an element in a page.
An SQL repository implemented through the Generic SQL Adapter connector can act as a content repository, storing content items that are displayed in pages. Because the
GSARepository class implements two interfaces—
atg.repository.Repository and
atg.repository.content.ContentRepository—and a repository can contain multiple repository item types, a single repository can contain both content repository items (arranged in a hierarchical structure with folders that can contain repository items and other folders) and non-content repository items (arranged in a flat structure).
You can use a content repository to serve targeted content, as described in the Creating Rules for Targeting Content and Setting Up Targeting Services chapters of the ATG Personalization Programming Guide. A product catalog in a commerce application is also typically a content repository, as described in the Using and Extending the Default Catalog chapter of the ATG Commerce Programming Guide.
Note that the essential feature of a content repository is that it represents a hierarchical structure of folders and repository items, like a directory structure. The repository items themselves do not necessarily represent content that is displayed in a Web application, although in most cases they do. What is significant is whether the repository items are maintained in a hierarchical structure.
You can define one or more item descriptors in an SQL repository to be a content item descriptor that defines a type of
ContentRepositoryItem. When you retrieve one of these items by calling any Repository methods, the repository item implements the
atg.repository.content.ContentRepositoryItem interface. You can have other item descriptors in the same repository that do not implement this interface and do not define content items.
The Repository Loader is a utility that handles the work of creating and updating content repository items from documents on your file system. The repository template can be configured so the loader assigns the values of your content repository item's properties from selected portions of these documents while still allowing access to the entire document. These properties include metadata about the document file such as its length and the time it was last modified. The Repository Loader can be configured to periodically scan the file system and synchronize it with the repository representation, adding, updating and deleting content repository items as necessary. See the Repository Loader chapter for more information.

Dear Readers: Happy Mother's Day. Please phone your mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, stepmother or foster mother and wish them the best. And our special good wishes to all the new mommies who are celebrating their very first Mother's Day. Also, please don't forget those for whom this day, for whatever reason, is filled with sadness. Give them a call and say you are thinking of them.
Dear Annie: Another Mother's Day is here, and I dread it. I dislike spending any time with my mother, but I do it anyway because I feel it is the right thing to do.
My father was an alcoholic, and Mom was abusive, both emotionally and physically. Many times, my siblings and I had to sit in the car outside the bars while my parents were inside drinking. She also beat us with the wire end of a fly swatter. One of her favorite things was to slap me across the face. But what hurt the most were the cruel and cutting things she said about how I looked and dressed.
Growing up, I had to wait on her hand and foot, getting her cigarettes, beer, coffee or anything else. I also was expected to do a lot of the housework and cooking. Ironically, I don't resent that as much because I learned skills I might not have otherwise developed. Her abuse also taught me to be a better parent, because I knew how I did not want to raise my children.
I know Mom was unhappy, and I am sure she felt trapped, but so did my father. She is now a widow, cries a lot and wants attention and sympathy. When I was diagnosed with cancer, it was all about what she was going through. She never once asked me how I was doing. After 63 years of this, I am tired of her excuses for the way she treated me. She has never said she was sorry. It was always someone else's fault. Am I a bad daughter for not wanting to be around her?
— Over It
Dear Over: No. We think you've put up with a great deal over the years. Whatever you give back to your mother now is a selfless act of pure kindness.
Dear Annie: This is in response to "N.Y., N.Y.," the 34-year-old who is reluctant to visit her elderly grandmother. The writer stated that the grandmother doesn't know who she is half the time. That means she does know who she is the other half.
I understand that some people have a hard time visiting hospitals and nursing homes or seeing a loved one change. But this grandmother is a living, breathing person with feelings, memories and needs. It is inexcusable to turn your back on a loved one because it makes you uncomfortable.
There are many other ways to support someone who is homebound or living in a facility. Cards, letters, pictures and phone calls can delight someone who may not be able to communicate in other ways. For the last two years of her life, I sent my aunt postcards on a weekly basis, even though she had dementia. When she died, we found them in her bedside table. Her caretaker said my aunt carried them around with her. They helped her feel connected to me, even though we lived 3,000 miles apart.
It is also important to support the primary caregivers. I was my own mother's primary support. Mom didn't call me by name for the last eight years of her life, but I could tell by the way she looked at me, even to her last day, that she knew who I was and loved me with everything she had.
"N.Y." is old enough to understand what being part of a family really means. I hope she gets it before her precious grandmother is gone.

Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a common ingredient found in many cough and cold remedies. It helps stop a cough. Used as directed, DXM products are safe and effective. But DXM has become popular among teens who want a cheap, easy high. DXM was approved by the FDA in 1958. You can find it in at least 70 common over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines.
DXM has no serious side effects when used in small doses. When taken in larger amounts, it can distort awareness and alter time perception. It can also cause hallucinations.
Cold medicines with DXM also have other ingredients that can be harmful in large amounts. These include acetaminophen or decongestants. Combining high doses of DXM with alcohol is very unsafe, too. It can lead to death.
Less common is abuse of prescription cough medicines containing codeine and promethazine. This has become glamorized by some hip hop artists. The medicine is often mixed with soda and candy to decrease the bitter taste. This form is often referred to as "syrup" or "sizzurp." Several hip hop artists have reportedly been hospitalized after abusing this drink.
Cough syrup abuse has been a problem for decades. But the concern in the past had been about the alcohol and codeine in cough and cold products. Because of that, the alcohol has been removed from most OTC cough and cold remedies. State laws also restrict the sale of products that have codeine.
DXM seemed a good substitute to codeine and alcohol. It had few, if any, side effects, when used as directed. And a larger amount of DXM (such as drinking several bottles of cough syrup at one time) would cause vomiting.
But today, teens have options to drinking the syrup. DXM is available in powder, capsule, and pill forms. You can find it online. These forms can be swallowed or snorted. Some websites even tell users how to extract DXM from cough syrup. They also advise users how much DXM to take to get high. Illegal users may take 240 mg to 1,500 mg of DXM at a time.
Slang terms for DXM include the following:
Black beauties
Poor man's ecstasy
Red devils
Robo or Robo-tripping
Skittles or skittling
Sizzurp or syrup
Triple C (Coricidin Cough and Cold)
The effects of DXM have been compared to PCP and the anesthetic ketamine. All 3 are called dissociative substances. At high doses, they give the abuser a feeling of not being in one's own body. DXM also causes hallucinations. The effects can last up to 6 hours. But that can vary. It depends on how much DXM is taken and what other drugs or chemicals are taken along with it.
Other effects of DXM include:
Hot flashes
Nausea, vomiting, and dizziness
Lack of coordination
Panic attack or seizures
Impaired judgment
Lethargy or drowsiness—or hyperactivity
Slurred speech
High blood pressure
Rapid eye movement
Racing or pounding heartbeat
Paranoia and hallucinations
Feeling of floating
Regular abuse of DXM at high doses can lead to a chemical psychosis. That's when a person loses contact with reality. He or she may need to be hospitalized. The person may also need to take medicine.
As a parent, you should warn your children about the dangers of abusing over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. Some teens believe that OTC medicines are safer to abuse because they are legal.
Here are other suggestions:
Watch the OTC medicines in your home. Keep track of how much medicine is in each bottle.
Don't buy extra OTC medicines to stock up.
Don't allow your children to keep OTC medicines in their bedroom, backpack, or school locker.
Watch your children's internet use, keeping an eye out for websites visited that discuss OTC or other drug abuse.
Use OTC and prescription medicines responsibly yourself.
