As an avid swimmer, Dwayne regularly visits the pool run by the City's Department of Parks & Rec. He discovered construction was underway at the pool and found all the accessible parking spaces were blocked off leaving him without a nearby place to park.
Dwayne decided to reach out to his ADA Regional Center for assistance. The Center's TA specialist discussed parking alternatives and temporary interruptions and suggested he contact his city's ADA Coordinator.
The ADA Coordinator got in touch with the pool's facility manager and administrator. After the pool's officials understood their responsibilities to provide accessible parking they moved the accessible spaces to a lot on the other side of the pool, allowing Dwayne accessible parking.
"I appreciate having this resource to help people with access issues," Dwayne said. Thanks To The ADA and the guidance of the ADA Regional Center's TA specialist Dwayne was able to continue swimming regularly despite the construction.
Terry is a volunteer for a childcare center. He was looking forward to attending a year-end dinner, but was surprised to learn the organizers planned the dinner in an inaccessible second floor dinner hall. The childcare center told him that they would accommodate him and his wheelchair by carrying him up the stairs. Terry insisted this was not a reasonable modification and suggested that the organizers choose a different location. The organizers ignored his request.
Feeling frustrated, Terry called his local ADA specialist and learned about his rights to a reasonable modification. The next day, he shared the information he learned with the childcare center staff. The staff realized their organization had an obligation to provide a reasonable modification and made a change in venue for the celebration. Later, Terry said he felt "empowered" and "grateful".
Thanks to the ADA, Terry was able to attend a dinner given to celebrate the years of service he and his fellow volunteers provided.
A man needed to take a driver's license exam but was concerned that his reading disability might pose a problem with the written section. An ADA specialist he contacted discussed how he could request a reasonable accommodation for the exam from the DMV. The ADA specialist advised him about accommodations and effective communication and said the DMV could read the test out loud if the man preferred.
The man conveyed this information to the DMV office, which worked to provide the proper accommodations; they agreed to give the exam in an audio format to comply with the ADA as well as providing other accommodations the man needed.
#ThanksToTheADA the man was able to take the driving exam and have the results reflect his knowledge and skills rather than his reading disability.
After a man tried to register his "service parrot" at a hotel, the manager called her local ADA specialist to find out what the regulations are for service animals. They discussed how the legal definition of a service animal is a dog and, in some circumstances, a miniature horse. After they reviewed some FAQs on service animals the hotel manager printed out service animal FAQs and factsheets to have at the front desk. Having that information on hand has helped the staff and manager clarify what kinds of animals can be considered legal service animals and what cannot.
Lisa is a small business owner who thought she was in for an uphill battle. The city was about to install water lines on the street in front of her business, which would block the accessible pathway that Lisa, a wheelchair user, and her clients rely on. The pathway connects the accessible parking space on one side of the building to the accessible entrance on the other side.
A call to her regional ADA center led Lisa to an ADA Specialist who said she should contact the city's ADA Coordinator and explain the situation. The ADA Specialist said that because the city is a covered entity under Title II of the ADA it has an obligation to ensure the accessible pathway remain open. Acting on the ADA Specialist's advice, Lisa provided information to both the ADA Coordinator and the construction company on how critical the accessible pathway was to her business.
At first Lisa thought no one was going to listen but noticed that once construction began, the city left an accessible route for Lisa and her clients to use. The head of the construction company even came out to meet Lisa, apologizing for the inconvenience.
"Things dramatically changed!" Lisa said. "Without the information I received from the ADA Specialist, my clients and I may not have been able to access to my business."
A local wheelchair sports team had been using a nearby college's basketball court for their wheelchair rugby and wheelchair lacrosse activities. After installing a new floor, the college told the group that they could no longer use the gym because it had established a "no wheels on the floor policy," explaining that the wheelchairs would damage the new floor. The wheelchair sports team contacted their regional ADA center to get help navigating this situation. The ADA center consulted with the Department of Justice (DOJ) who agreed that the policy was problematic under the ADA because it appeared to prohibit anyone with wheels, prosthetic blades, walkers, or strollers from even using the gym for the non-athletic activities often held there. The wheelchair sports team went back to the college with this information to have a conversation. The college agreed to withdraw the policy, allowing the wheelchair sports team to resume their rugby and lacrosse games while at the college!
A founding member of a lawn bowling club was denied the opportunity to bowl from a manual wheelchair she uses. The club believed her wheelchair would damage the lawn where bowling happens. At first, she asked the club if they could put down a mat she could bowl from on the lawn. The bowling club said no. The woman called her Regional ADA Center and asked if the ADA could help keep bowling accessible for her in her chair. The ADA specialist told her that because a bowling club falls under Title III of the ADA as a place of public accommodation, she could request a reasonable modification. With this information, the woman informed the club of their responsibilities under the ADA. The bowling club agreed to work with her and the officers of the club obtained an adaptable wheelchair mat that would not damage the lawn, allowing the club's founding member to bowl from her chair.
A dance studio owner called her regional ADA Center seeking guidance on accommodating a potential student who is deaf and had requested an interpreter. The ADA Specialist discussed Title III (Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities) and the studio owner's responsibilities to ensure effective communication as a public accommodation. After the call, the instructor contacted a local American Sign Language (ASL) organization who was able to provide an interpreter for each class in which the student participated. Personalized assistance from the ADA National Network guided the dance instructor to best accommodate the new student with a disability.
Portable Healthcare Rooms Allow Everyone to Remotely Access a Doctor
A small business owner who designs portable healthcare rooms or "pods" called their regional ADA center and received valuable guidance on how to improve accessibility. The pods are created for individuals who would like to see a medical provider but doesn't have easy access to a clinic. They will be placed in grocery stores and pharmacies nationwide.
Each healthcare pod is equipped with a screen through which people can communicate and interact with a doctor. Originally the designer of the pods intended to include healthcare instruments such as a thermometer and blood pressure cuff, as well as a light and camera, allowing the doctor to perform a remote physical exam. After calling the ADA Center, he received crucial feedback regarding accommodations for individuals with differing disability limitations. For example, some individuals may not be able to grasp an instrument with a closed fist, while others may not be able to transfer into a different chair within the room. He also had to take into consideration communication accommodations for individuals with hearing difficulties and/or low vision. Priority was also placed on allowing individuals fully accessible entry to the pods after booking an appointment.
Using the feedback from the ADA center the owner was able to redesign the pods to make them fully accessible. Examples of changes include easy to grasp medical instruments, the ability to request closed captioning or a video interpreter, a foldable built-in chair allowing better access for wheelchairs, and a physically accessible card reader allowing for pod entry. Thanks to the ADA, over the next two years fully accessible pods will be placed in grocery stores and pharmacies nationwide allowing full inclusion for all.
Like any other senior in high school, Kevin was excited to go to prom and his father Patrick was going to make sure it would be a memorable night. However, they ran into a roadblock when the school district would not allow Kevin to attend. Kevin has Down syndrome and has an aide that accompanies him, but because the aide was over 21, the school's policy dictated that he would not be allowed to attend a high school celebration. Patrick called the ADA National Network hoping that they could help him resolve this situation. An ADA Specialist advised him to contact the local school district ADA coordinator and superintendent, and also pointed to information needed to file a complaint. Thanks to Patrick's efforts guided by the ADA specialist's advice, the school district gave permission to Kevin and his aide to attend to his high school prom and have a wonderful time!
For the last 10 years a pipe welder who is deaf has successfully worked with his team by communicating with American Sign Language, reading lips, exchanging notes, and using gestures. The company he works for has a contract with a large gas and electricity company, which tests all workers through a certification process. The process recently changed to include an oral portion; gas pipe welders must now respond to verbal questions given by examiners. He failed the test after not responding to the oral questions, even after writing a note asking for a sign language interpreter, which was denied. He called a TA Specialist at one of our ADA centers who advised him to get in touch with his organization's ADA coordinator in order to ensure that it provides effective communication. The organization's ADA coordinator worked with the examiners to educate them on their responsibilities under the ADA. As a result, the pipe welder was able to retake the oral portion with a sign language interpreter and passed, keeping his job as a highly skilled and experienced employee.
Abdi, coordinator of a local branch of a health club chain, emailed the ADA National Network with questions about a week-long camp program designed for children with disabilities it runs. The ADA Specialist who reviewed Abdi's camp brochure caught something that would be problematic: an additional $100 fee for trained counselors that would be available upon request to accommodate children with disabilities. The specialist told Abdi that while they were on the right track to try to accommodate children with disabilities, the camp was obligated to pay the cost of any of those reasonable modifications needed for children with disabilities to participate in camping activities. The ADA specialist also stated that parents should not be charged any additional costs beyond the basic camp fee. The advice prompted the camp to no longer charge additional fees for one-on-one counselors, making the health club chain more accessible for everyone.
Andrea called the ADA national hotline with a question facing many businesses: do they need to modify their bathrooms to meet ADA standards? A knowledgeable ADA Specialist informed her that because the ADA went into effect in 1991, all buildings that were operating before that are required to make accessibility improvements that are "readily achievable," which means that it can be done with relatively little expense and difficulty.
Although she wanted her business to be as accessible as possible, the Business Guide helped Andrea understand that, although highly preferable, businesses are not always required to make their bathrooms accessible – in her case because of the small size of her business and the cost of modifying an older building. The ADA specialist explained that although the law protects the rights of individuals with disabilities, it also incorporates reasonable considerations by businesses and other entities.
When Jake landed a new construction job, he disclosed being bipolar to his manager and requested a 24-hour notice if he was needed at a site earlier than usual. This would allow him to adjust his medication beforehand in order to drive safely.
Although the company agreed to this accommodation, he was cited for being late more than once. Jake called his regional ADA center and was advised that a good first step would be to contact human resources to see if they could work things out.
In the end the company not only reaffirmed his accommodation but made sure to provide a hotel when sites were more than two hours from his home, which has helped him to show up on time as well as has required less driving. The advice left Jake empowered with the knowledge he needed to tackle the barriers he was facing thanks to the ADA.
Sarah works for a business that is comprised of basement warehouse and upper-floor office space. Her business is leasing the spaces from a building owner who is responsible for most of the accessibility issues and being up to building code. But as Sarah understands it, her business needs to make sure the space is physically accessible. Consequently, she was wondering what they need to do in order to do so. To get answers, she called one of our regional ADA centers.
Our ADA specialist and Sarah discussed how she might make structural changes for an employee as a reasonable accommodation. The ADA specialist also emphasized that while the building owner may be responsible for making the building accessible as a whole, Sarah's business has an obligation to be located in an accessible space. Thus, if an employee or client with a disability comes into her shop and cannot access it, it may become her problem, because she made the choice to set up in an inaccessible location. Sarah understood and set up a call with the building owner to make accessibility improvements to the space.

The women's 400 metres hurdles at the 2004 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics program were held at the Athens Olympic Stadium from August 21 to 25.

The first round had split a full roster of runners into five heats with the first two gaining a direct qualification and then the next six fastest across all heats advancing to the semifinals. The top four runners in both of the semifinal heats moved on directly to the final.

The final was expected to witness four early-season favorites, U.S. top runner Sheena Johnson, 2003 world champion Jana Pittman, current world record holder Yuliya Pechenkina, and two-time European champion Ionela Târlea-Manolache, challenging each other for the Olympic title. Inside the stadium, however, the raucous Greek crowd turned their attention on home favorite Faní Halkiá, who had previously lowered the Olympic record by 0.05 of a second in the second semifinal.  All three medalists came from that semi, fifth place equalling 3rd place in the first semi.

From the start in lane four, Halkia drew level with Pittman outside her at the halfway turn, until she quickly pulled away from the field on the last hundred metres and cleared the final hurdle. With none of the pre-race favorites willing to chase her on the home stretch, Halkia raced comfortably to an Olympic gold. Behind her, Târlea-Manolache and Ukraine's Tetyana Tereshchuk-Antipova came through on the inside to take the silver and bronze medals respectively. Running bravely against a tore knee injury, Pittman managed to finish the race in fifth place, while Pechenkina stumbled behind on a wretched run to round out the field in last.

Halkia's triumph proved to be a redemption for the host nation Greece in track and field, after the anti-doping scandal and suspicious affair on 2000 Olympic medalists and sprinters Kostas Kenteris and Ekaterini Thanou that tainted the start of the Games.

Records
, the existing World and Olympic records were as follows.

The following records were established during the competition:

Qualification
The qualification period for Athletics was 1 January 2003 to 9 August 2004. For the women's 400 metres hurdles, each National Olympic Committee was permitted to enter up to three athletes that had run the race in 55.60 seconds or faster during the qualification period. If an NOC had no athletes that qualified under that standard, one athlete that had run the race in 56.25 seconds or faster could be entered.

Before your baby was born, you probably had warm, positive feelings toward him. You and your partner dreamed about what he would be like, and all the experiences you would be able to share together. Taking long walks with the stroller on sunny days, lazing around the house just enjoying one another's company, and getting your little one all dressed up and showing him off to friends.
And now here you are: You feel like a walking zombie, existing on 3-4 hours of broken sleep a night. You dread feeding time, worrying your baby will cry through yet another meal. The dreams of taking your little one out and showing him off are almost laughable. Taking your screaming, red-faced baby out into public isn't your idea of a good time.
Obviously, we often use these terms for lack of a better way to describe a very real set of behaviours or characteristics. Even throughout this site, I find myself using these terms, some frequently.
Using these terms not only gives us a way to explain our baby's behaviour, but it can help us feel validated as parents and maybe just a little bit….not crazy. By telling someone our baby is 'fussy', we not only eliminate the need to go into all the details (eg. My baby cries a lot, hates sleeping, and generally is just a whole lot of work), but we take some of the responsibility off ourselves (eg. My baby is just fussy, it's not that I'm a bad parent).
While it is understandable why we use these labels, and is maybe even necessary at times, In the interviews I have conducted for this site, one point that was stressed often was the danger of labeling our babies.
Is There Really Such a Thing as a High Need Baby?

Q: change value from of a specific item on button click As I asked yesterday in my first post, I have a json file that looks like this:
groups:{[
  {
    title:Animal
    shown:false
    data:[{....}]
  }
  ........
 .....
]}

I want to change the shown value on a button click. The closest thing I found to my problem was this part of code:
  newState = this.state.groups.map((val,i) => {
        if(index === i){
            return { ...val, shown: false};
        }
        return val;
    })
    this.setState({
        groups: newState,
    })

However, it doesn't seem to work, logging on console doesn't show any differences before and after the button press. I'm rather new to this so do you mind to help me understand what i did bad?
edit: I tried changing from index to a simple number to see if that was the problem, but still the same problem.

A: A JSON object is collection of Key Value pairs. i.e.
let FullName = {
  firstName: "Stack",
  lastName: "OverFlow"
}

In FullName Object Keys are firstName and lastName and corresponding values are "Stack" and "Overflow".
The groups Object that you have defined is missing the key Property.
Coming to Your problem:
Case1: If groups Object is an Array of Objects then:

var groups = [
    {
        title: 'Animal',
        shown: false,
        data: [{}]
    },
    {
        title: 'Birds',
        shown: false,
        data: [{}]
    }

]

/* Upadate By Index value */
/*
  var index =  1;

  let updatedGroup = groups.map((val,i) => {
    if(index === i){
        return { ...val, shown: true};
    }
    return val;
  })

I stumbled across a new Arduino compatible board on Tindie (tindie.com). Manufacturer is BBTech from Taiwan and they ship free across the globe. Board itself is an AtTiny 85 with a micronucleus bootloader.
After only one week of waiting I received a package and the new boards neatly packed in a padded mailer bag.
The board is really tiny, only about 30×15 mm and a few millimeters thick. The build quality seems OK for the price (around $5). As always I ordered a small batch since usually these cheap boards have some quality issues.
UPDATE One mini-USB connector just came off from a new board. Seems like a cold solder joint.
The product page in tindie doesn't give much information, the AtTiny comes pre-installed with Micronucleus bootloader so everything should be set to go.
I fired up my Arduino IDE to get some basic sketches tested but my board wasn't recognized at all. The board is quite similar to Adafruit Industries Trinket board. Unfortunately the Adafruit version of Arduino IDE didn't work either so I tried the Digispark version which finally worked.

performance measurement, non-profit leaders, nonprofit leaders
You're On the Performance Measurement Train. Now What?
The good news: more nonprofits are taking performance measurement seriously. We had a standing-room-only crowd for our workshop on "Demystifying Performance Measurement" at the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network conference. Whether we're drawn into it by the public fascination with "big data," by pressure from funders, or—ideally— because we genuinely want to understand how we're doing and how we could do better, the conversation is getting real.
So great. We're all on the train. But there's a big difference between getting on the train and getting the train to go anywhere.
Two themes in the session stayed with me:
Aligning ambitions for impact with the scope of the intervention can be difficult
At the session, the director of a small dance organization asked me how she could measure the effect of one-off workshops that she holds in schools. She's right to wonder; it would be difficult to assert any measurable effect on children from an hour and a half dance workshop. Yet that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have dance workshops in schools. Is she stuck? Nope. Think on this question for a moment; I'll come back to it.
Building a performance measurement culture is at least as important as building a performance measurement system
My wingman in our session was Marc Jacobs, CEO of our client Jewish Family Services (JFS) of Metrowest. Marc described a two-year journey that continues today to create a culture that values performance measurement. It's not just about identifying outcomes and metrics, it's also about building a learning organization, one that has a culture of relentless commitment to improvement. An organization with a performance measurement culture uses measurement not just for compliance but for finding all of the nooks and crannies of a program model that can be adjusted and improved in pursuit of the bottom line: serving people better and getting better results.
As a thank you to Marc for joining me at our session, I agreed to facilitate an all-staff meeting at JFS the day after the MNN Conference. The conversation revealed how far Marc and his team have already moved on that journey. The discussion was about how to find the right measures, how to ensure that gathering data didn't get in the way of the human interactions that are at the core of any nonprofit's mission, and how to let go of closely held beliefs that don't stand up to close examination when the right metrics are measured. I walked away knowing that at JFS, the train has left the station and is moving down the tracks with momentum. So about that dance program…
The dance organization director may have an option at the intersection of both points above, creativity and culture. I suggest: join forces with other arts nonprofits that also do these small-scale interventions in schools. Align your goals, and together measure the collective effect of the work. (And let me know how it goes!)
I realize that with all of the jargon that surrounds performance measurement, it's tempting to conclude that this is all some sort of Dark Art accessible only to those with Harry Potter-like powers. The lesson in the discussions at the MNN Conference is that whether your organization is big or small, we can all get on that train.

Corporate networkers who manage to stay awake through their first-year engineering courses learn all about complex numbers—numbers with real and imaginary components. But even the die-hards who doubled-up on their No-Doz couldn't have foreseen how handy this concept would be—to interpret the output from the Marketing Department.
Consider gigabits per second. There are engineering gigabits and there are marketing gigabits. Engineering gigabits are real gigabits, the sort of gigabits you can use, gigabits you can trust to carry real traffic. Marketing gigabits are imaginary gigabits. They don't carry traffic, but they do help win prizes at trade shows. They have some hazy basis in reality, or more likely virtual reality, but only just.
How imaginary? Well that depends on the creativity of the Marketing Department. A good place to start is by counting all the bits twice, once on the way in and once on the way out. If the switch fabric runs faster than the ports, then include the missing gigabits in the middle. (It's not that they can transport any traffic, but no one wants them to feel left out.) If the sum of the speeds of all the ports is greater than that of the switch fabric, best count the spare ports too. If the box has a redundant switch fabric—hey, that's more gigabits.
This is like claiming that my car can go 240 mph. No, I haven't shelled out for a Lamborghini. It's a beat up old wagon named Wanda. But it still does 60mph. And it has four wheels. That's four wheels, each one doing 60mph—a total of 240 marketing mph.
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that we all have to view the world from our own perspective. Naturally enough, engineering veers toward pessimism and worst-case assumptions. Marketing, meanwhile, veers toward the brink and the kind of new math in which half full is a lot bigger than half empty.
Maybe there's more to this Marketing Math? Take the transfer function, for example. In linear systems, this little piece of magic makes it possible to predict an output once the input is known. Now, no one would accuse marketing of being a linear system (and even less a discreet system) but it does have a transfer function. Feed in reality and out comes virtual reality.
Engineering reality can be expressed in multiple dimensions. The classic ones are the orthogonal axes of schedule, cost, and functionality. Apply the marketing transfer function and these become the virtual reality of availability, price, and feature set.
In addition, (or maybe subtraction) the real and imaginary components give the engineering phase angle for a project. This is an indication of the amount by which marketing leads engineering or the amount by which virtual reality is in advance of true reality.
Now there comes a time in the life of any project when the amount of available reality is insufficient to satisfy the marketing requirements. A frequent solution is to feed some virtual reality back into the input to make up for the shortfall. Any decent engineering freshman knows that negative feedback is required for stability. Trouble is, negative is not cool. This is marketing: Think positive. Hence, with an undamped marketing department and positive feedback, it's possible to create an unstable or oscillatory system. This goes a long way to explaining the wild fluctuations we observe in the marketplace.
Control theory allows us to determine the stability of a linear system by examining the poles and zeros. The same holds true for marketing. If the zeros fall to the right of the dollar sign and the significant digits, we have a stable marketing function. If they fall to the left of the significant digits, we have but a transient, just a glitch in the market.
So next time my glass is half full I know exactly where to look for the next round. And the next time you attend a trade show, remember—gigabits are complex. They have a real and an imaginary component.

Originally designed by Gene Hamm, the 18-Hole, par 72 Magnolia Course opened to rave reviews in 1989, and within two months was ranked as one of the top 50 courses in the entire southeastern United States by Golf Week.
The Magnolia has seen a complete multi-million dollar redesign, to include new greens complexes with Crenshaw Bent Grass, bunkers and cart paths.
The result is a truly fantastic lay-out with emphasis on risk-reward golf.
In an area that boasts numerous award winning courses, the Magnolia remains a local favorite. The course is characterized by vast elevation changes, generous driving areas, and spacious challenging greens. In the summer edition of the 2003 Pinehurst Magazine, the Magnolia was ranked as the fifth best course in the area, by the 43 PGA Golf Professionals.
Locals aren't the only ones who know a great course when they play it. LPGA players heaped praise on the course when the LPGA's Pinewild Women's Championship was contested in 1995. The Magnolia has been a qualifying site for numerous US Open Championships, the US Amateur Championship, as well as PGA Tour School Qualifying.
With the back tees measuring almost 7,500 yards, we like to say that the NEW Magnolia is "NO BARK, BUT ALL BITE".

You are here: Prostitution // A summary of procuring
| Print |
The majority of legislations distinguish between two forms of procuring.
- direct procuring, defined as the act of "helping, assisting or protecting the prostitution of another; profiting from another's prostitution, sharing the products or receiving subsidies from a person constantly indulging in prostitution, hiring, training, diverting a person for prostitution or pressuring her to prostitute or continue to do so."
- indirect procuring, which consists in providing consented information on public or private premises to people indulging in prostitution. The real estate procuring is an important part of procuring. It has various faces: cabarets, restaurants, night clubs, private clubs, hostess bars...Even the simpe act of lending a van to a prostitute is noted as a procuring crime.
Criminal Networks of Prostitution
In Europe, the small structures, almost familial, coexist with high-level criminal organizations, who engage in sophisticated forms of trafficking and have high-level accomplices in the political and diplomatic world. Smaller groups can cooperate with large groups involved in multiple forms of trafficking.
No matter their size, these groups are mobile, perfected and structured. That is their main strength. Albanian networks, for example, are well-run criminal groups of 4 to 10 people, formed from clan, geographic, or family ties, just like true companies (market study, rationalization activity, task spacialization...). These groups are controlled by geographic and industry sectors, with, at the head of the organization, their board and chief supervising the group and defining the orientation of their criminal activities.
Different intermediaries intervene in every stage of exploiting women: recruiters, every type of agency, website producers, publicists, travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, "canvassers" who manage the locations on the sidewalk, bouncers in charge of protecting the girls, and sometimes, "solicitors" (bar owners, hotel concierges, taxi drivers...).
Faced with such a complex structure, it is generally difficult to find those who are responsible. Due to the fact that thanks to cell phones and the internet, procurers can manage their business away from the field of operations, without the risk of being caught.
The situation in France
France has the most repressive arsenal against procuring. If one considers prostitution to be free, then the exploitation of prostitution is severely punished. The repression of procuring, presents the unique characteristic of punishing an activity by reference to an activity that is not, in itself, illegal.
Articles 225-5 to 225-12 of the Penal Codes punish all forms of procuring. In its 2010 annual record of convictions, the Ministry of Justice declared 475 individual convictions for procuring acts, of which 275 were for aggravated procuring. About 40 international trafficking networks are dismantled every year, of which 64% are in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
In 2010, the Directorate of Criminal Affairs and Pardons, showed that in the cases of aggravated procuring, the prison sentences amounted to an average of 27.2 months. 78% of those convicted are older than 25. 28% of those convicted are women and 56% are foreigners, still in regards of only aggravated procuring. The average fine amounted to an average of 13.080€ ($17,919 USD).
Even if the legal framework for procuring violations seems to be complete, the offense of trafficking remains, to this day, rarely seen (3 cases in France in 2009, 3 cases, as well in 2010). Few judges use the cumulative nature of the procuring and trafficking violations. However, current texts allow, in theory, to incriminate human trafficking with the purpose of sexual exploitation as a whole, the dismantling of the industry to the original recruiting.

Q: Rails, using scopes to filter table i am fairly new to rails and i have to update an existing project. I have an existing database, beforehand it was just one User group, now there should be multiple. Now i want to use the old view, but filter with the help of a dropdown menu, but for some reason i can't work out what i am doing wrong.
Here are the code snippets i changed, since it was working beforehand, i assume my mistake must be somewhere within these lines.
event.rb
  scope :men, lambda { { :conditions => ["team_id == ?", 1] } }
  scope :women, lambda { { :conditions => ["team_id == ?", 2] } }
  scope :juniors, lambda { { :conditions => ["team_id == ?", 3] } }

events_controller.rb
def index
#   @events = Event.where("startdate >= ?", Date.today).order("startdate, starttime")
#   @events = Event.order("startdate, starttime")

if params[:search]
  @events = Event.search(params[:search])
else
  if params[:filter].nil?
    @events = Event.all
  else
    if params[:filter] == "Alle" then @events = Event.all end
    if params[:filter] == "Men" then @events = Event.men end
    if params[:filter] == "Women" then @events = Event.women end
    if params[:filter] == "Juniors" then @events = Event.juniors end
  end
end

end
and the index.html.erb

<%= form_tag events_path, :method => 'get' do %>
    <%= select_tag "filter", options_for_select([ "Alle", "Men", "Women", "Juniors" ], params[:filter]), {:onchange => 'this.form.submit()'}  %>
<% end %>

probably it is a simple mistake. My guess is, that in the index.html.erb i am doing something wrong.
as a follow up, i want to filter just the events which are upcoming, for that i can use the commented part in the controller. can i just add that to the assignmnet in the style of:
@events = Event.men.where("startdate >= ?", Date.today).order("startdate, starttime")

thanks for the help
Lenny

A: You should change your scopes to new syntax:
scope :men, -> { where(team_id: 1) }
scope :women, -> { where(team_id: 2) }
scope :juniors, -> { where(team_id: 3) }

Your controller logic is a little buggy and twisted (checking 5 times filter isnt best way, why checking e.g. if filter is "Men" if you already matched it with "Alle" ?). Here is some help:
@events = if params[:search].present?
  Event.search(params[:search].to_s)
else
  case params[:filter]
  when "Men"
    Event.men
  when "Women"
    Event.women
  when "Juniors"
    Event.juniors
  else
    Event.all
  end
end

Speaking about view, you shouldnt use inline js, just because its XXI century, and such "quick solutions" are harder to maintain later, so:

<%= form_tag events_path, :method => 'get' do %>
    <%= select_tag "filter", options_for_select([ "Alle", "Men", "Women", "Juniors" ], params[:filter]), class: 'my_filter' %>
<% end %>

and then add to your events.coffee:
$('select.my_filter').on 'change', ->
  $(this).parents('form').submit()

Hope this helps!

Had pretty much a perfect day on Sunday starting with the usual 5:00 AM alarm. Enjoyed a couple of hours at home thinking, reflecting, and praying over the day before getting to the church building around seven. Typical Sunday morning.
After church we had a First Family lunch at Gary and Ann Marie Schrock's house (haus). Since the Shrocks have a German heritage, yesterday was a German themed lunch (sort of). We have a very enjoyable First Family (thanks Bill and Deborah!) and yesterday we added a new family to the mix, the Castigliones. They are wonderful and Elvie is a nurse, which brings to five the total number of nurses in our FF. The older I get, the more I'm drawn to groups like this.
After a long, relaxing lunch and First Family chat Martha and I stopped by for a quick visit to our three-week-old granddaughter Ruby. Her two brothers are in Dallas with their other grandparents, so Ruby has about five days of undivided attention. She likes it.
Martha and I got home around 4:00 PM and just enjoyed the evening together without any outside plans. Later in the evening I built a fire in the outdoor fire-pit and we had a light dinner date night outside. As usual, we both worked an hour or two getting a jump on the week so that Monday mornings aren't "cold" and the work week has been prioritized as much as possible in a fluid environment.
Tia explained to me how she got the cool red and gold streaks in her hair. I then explained to her how I get the super-cool gray streaks in mine.
Kellianne & Sharon pumped about a little German food!
Mark and Daryl winding down the day.
Note to all: desserts were available. The dessert at the front and left is actually a Filipino dessert called "pitchy-pitchy." Quite good! Tastes like a sweet vanilla, coconut dumpling.
Ladies only at this table.
Ruby is three weeks old!

Hawkweed named for Sir David Attenborough
The December issue of New Journal of Botany should be with you soon after Christmas, and in it you will find a description of a new Hawkweed from the Brecon Beacons, Wales.
Tim and a Taraxacum in the Brecon Beacons
Image: C. Gait
The botanist who described this new Hawkweed is none other than Tim Rich, co-ordinator of the BSBI New Year Plant Hunt, and he has named it Hieracium attenboroughianum after Sir David Attenborough.
Tim said "I have named this species in honour of Sir David Frederick Attenborough whose 'World about us' series on BBC television inspired me to study ecology when I was 17. I have watched and admired his work ever since, as have many other people and, in naming this Hawkweed, pay tribute to him for so eloquently educating us about the natural world".
Cover of NJB in 2014
Images by C. Ferguson-Smyth
You will have to wait for the December issue of New Journal of Botany to find out more and see images of the new Hawkweed, but Tim's abstract says "Hieracium attenboroughianum is a member of the H. britannicum group in Hieracium section Stelligera Zahn, related to H. britannicoides P. D. Sell, but differing in cupped, dark green leaves and sparse, medium simple eglandular hairs and many glandular hairs on the involucral bracts. About 300 plants occur on Old Red Sandstone mountain ledges on Cribyn (VC42). It is classified under the IUCN Threat Category 'Endangered'."
If you are thinking of making a start with Hawkweeds - and be warned, they are notoriously tricky - then you will need this, the appropriate volume of this and a lot of time and patience while you work up to this!
If you'd prefer something less challenging, we recommend a mooch around your local patch in the first few days of January and sending in your records to Tim, Ryan, me and Sarah for the New Year Plant Hunt.
Congratulations to both Sir David Frederick Attenborough and Tim Rich. I couldn't agree more with Tim on naming it Hieracium attenboroughianum .
His voice and programs on BBC have been a great inspiration to me too.
We must give credit where credit is due!
Kind regards, Erik
Louise Marsh, BSBI 24 December 2014 at 14:47
I agree Erik, Sir David is a huge inspiration to all naturalists but I am biased, he went to Wyggeston Boys' School in Leicester - I attended the nearby Girls' School in the 60s, by which time our local boy had become an international legend! What a guy :-)

Well, the time finally came on Valentine's day to take the children to their first movie in a movie theater. As most of you know the children have been going to Waldorf schools, where media use, especially television, is strongly discouraged. As a family we've been following that advice and the children have only seen television extraordinarily rarely (Olympics!), and over the last year we added in movies every once in a while. Having this low-media household has helped the children be able to entertain themselves, be more active, and not to be caught up in consumerism, among other things. I could write a lot more about how I think it has helped the children, but for now you could take a look at Taming The Media Monster and TurnOffYourTV.com, and you can see a comprehensive school media policy, too.
All that said, since we've not been so strict on any policies while on our trip, it seemed like a good opportunity to see the inside of a theater for the first time. We went with our friends Miki and her twins Aurora and Bella to see Bolt. Had I known a bit more about it, Bolt wouldn't have been the first movie that I would have picked to have them see, as I found it a bit of an intense movie in some places, but it did make good use of the surround sound of the theater, so it was nice for the kids to experience that. And they enjoyed the movie. It was about a dog who thinks he is a superhero who gets lost and has to make his way back home to his waiting owner, and the adventures that ensue on the road. It had interesting, if bittersweet, parallels to our own adventure.
This, I guess, was the first of our Orlando Entertainment Extravaganza. Fully Awesome!


Learning ways for college students to make money online is a real lifesaver when you're in school! Between class and homework, it's difficult for college students to find the time to work a regular job. This is why the Internet is a great tool to not only make some money on the side, but also to help progress your career! So whether you're a college student yourself, or someone who knows one, here are 7 ways for college students to make money online to help get you started!

Once you do this, advertisements will begin running on your videos and the more views you get, the more money you will make!
Selling stock photography is the perfect way for a photography student (or anyone else who loves taking pictures) to make some extra cash! Once again, you can use your work to help build your portfolio as well as make money, so it's a win-win! Several websites (such as istockphoto.com) pay you money every time someone downloads your photograph to use in an ad, article or brochure. Just keep in mind that if you offer pictures of people, you have to get signed release forms.
Writing an eBook in your free time is a great way to earn money on the side or even help you start up a freelance writing career! The best selling eBooks are "How to" guides, so if you know how to do something that others may be interested in learning, write about it! But if you're more of the creative type, then write a fiction novel. Who knows, maybe you'll get discovered! When you're ready to publish, go to Amazon, LuLu, or Clickbank to sell your eBook to others.
Are you going to school for art? Why not sell some of your pieces that you're okay parting with? Etsy.com is a great website for selling things you've made yourself! Even if you're not an art major, why not take up a hobby making jewelry or decorative items to sell? There are tons of ideas in our DIY section for things that you can start making and selling to others!
If you have great ideas but no one to listen, start a blog! Many other college students can relate to your life and your experiences so why not join the blogosphere and meet them all? If you gain a large enough following, you can start to advertise on your blog and make money! You can also ask companies if you can get paid for having a positive product review in your posts about them. Blogger and Wordpress are two of the best websites to get your started with blogging!
Are you a graphic design student or just someone who knows their way around a sketchbook? Why not design some T-Shirts to sell online? Websites like Zazzle and CafePress let you upload your own images to be branded on a variety of T-shirts and other accessories.

College students put a ton of work into researching and writing college papers, but most of them don't know that you can get paid for it! Websites such as Associated Content allows you to make at least $1.50 for every 1,000 page views your paper receives. However, make sure that you choose legitimate companies and avoid those that resell your papers to students looking for an easy A! You want to help others learn, not cheat!
Websites such as freelancewritinggigs.com will post various openings to be a freelance writer. This means that you will get paid to write about things you either like or are knowledgeable about. You can even go to your favorite blog or website, and ask if you can be a freelance writer for them. Usually a company will ask that you send a sample to them first so make sure to keep one handy!

Simply browse the selection and select one that interests you. When you're done, submit your work, and after the requester approves your work, money is deposited into your Amazon Payments account. Most are only a few cents each, but doing a few every day can really add up!
We all have things that we don't need. Instead of throwing them out, why not sell them? This is not only a great way to make money, but also a great way to clear out some clutter. This is also quick and easy for you because there's no need to sit at your computer, you just have to list the item and go. While a lot of these others require you to pay attention or sit at your computer, here you don't really have much to worry about.
I never knew about this one! A lot of companies are starting to handle their customer service online. These can be done through e-mails and live online chats with customers.

Maybe it doesn't sound like a fun time, but it's also not full time. Why not make some money?
These days there is online tutoring being offered on certain websites. Many of these websites ask you to take a test in your supposed field so that they know that you're capable of tutoring the children you'll be paired up with.

"Local folks you have to book an appointment at Bhav Spa. I went for a massage today and it was the best massage I have had and I have had many in many different locations. Danielle is a delight, so welcoming and is so sweet and calming. The space is heavenly and relaxing. I will definitely be back"
"Today I received the best facial I have ever had, very relaxing and personalized to my skin and needs. Danielle walked me through what she would be doing and it all felt lovely. The head, neck and arm massage was a pleasant and calming addition. The products smelled amazing and refreshing and 9 hours later my face still feels so hydrated. I am so thankful to have these services offered in Waterbury and plan to schedule this lovely facial again soon. Danielle also offered to find the perfect masseuse to follow me during this twin pregnancy to help my body feel better. I highly recommend the rose petal and sweet milk signature facial and BHAV. Thanks again!"
"I had a wonderful Age Deifying 60 minute facial today and it was fabulous - I left feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed. The hydrating mask used was from Farmaesthetics and my skin was radiant when I left. I highly recommend BHAV Spa - Just ask for Danielle!"
"The perfect serene sanctuary Waterbury needed! When I go to Bhav Spa, I feel warmly welcomed as I am, held in so much light and leave feeling refreshed and inspired. Danielle is phenomenal, her hands create magic and her knowledge of skin and wellness is so helpful! I also really enjoyed my massage experience and will definitely return many times!"
"I treated myself to a facial at this gem of day spa. Danielle has done a wonderful job making her space feel like an escape right in downtown Waterbury. She spent a great deal of time with me and gave me solid advice on a regimen appropriate for my skin type. I felt renewed just from spending time with her! Booking my appointment via her website was a breeze."
"I am a pampering enthusiast which means that I have very high standards when it comes to spa treatments, the service, and the overall experience. Danielle aced it! She delivered the best facial I have ever received and I've had a lot of them. More than that she greeted me by name and with a huge smile, which immediately made me feel comfortable in my surroundings. She is warm, professional, and has the touch! If you are in or around Waterbury The BHAV Spa is a must!"
"I'm not really a spa type of person but since meeting Danielle, the owner, and attending her Grand Opening, I thought "what the heck, I'll try it." It was my very first facial and it was incredible. I was so relaxed that I thought I was melting into that wonderfully comfortable, heated massage table. Danielle was tender, slow, attentive and the products she used smelled and felt amazing. I highly recommend their signature Rose Petal and Sweet Milk Facial.
Who knew a facial came with an arm, neck, head, shoulder AND foot rub.
I'm a customer for life. Thanks for bringing such a gem to an already incredible community."
"The mud wrap with Danielle is one of the most rejuvenating and stress relieving treatments I have ever had. I highly recommend it! Thank you Danielle"
"What an beautiful, serene, welcoming space Danielle has created! My hour long facial was so much more than a facial, including neck/shoulder/scalp massage, hand and foot massage, and amazing skin treatments, I left feeling completely relaxed and renewed. Scheduling online was a piece of cake, and attention to every detail is evident from the treatments to the decor to the tea with local honey. My daughter enjoyed a massage which she also raved about. I recommend Bhav Spa highly, you will not be disappointed! I will be back soon."
"The Vibe and atmosphere this place has is unlike any other place in Vermont, so modern and chic, you must check it out! The Mineral Mud Body Wrap is just divine!"
"A great place to retreat to while my husband was skiing all day. Try the Rose Pedal and Geranium facial given by Danielle, I have had many facials in the past, and this was by for the best i have ever had, just AMAZING!"


Nothing ruins a day quite like an unfortunate nail situation. Snags turn into tears, and that's a quick way to turn an otherwise pleasant afternoon into an annoying affair of avoiding picking things up at certain angles.
But lucky for you, you were prepared for this. These awesome nail files are not only a lifesaver for clearing up those rough edges before they turn into full-on tears, but the variety of colorful graphics make them a fashion statement all their own. The design is printed directly onto one side of each double-sided emery board. Plus, they're sold in a set of four, and the compact oval shape makes them easy to stash in a purse or a pocket, so you can always keep one handy!
