Top Housing Award for Motiv8
Published by gmhousing on October 31, 2018
Motiv8, a Greater Manchester programme supported by members of Greater Manchester Housing Providers (GMHP) to help people overcome barriers to get back on track, has won the 'Care and Support Provider of the Year' category at this year's national, prestigious 24 Housing Awards for the work they do to support people across Greater Manchester.
Motiv8 supports some of the most vulnerable people in Greater Manchester to improve their health and well-being, self-confidence and employability skills and move them closer to employment.
The project is funded by the European Social Fund and the National Lottery, through the Big Lottery Fund and supports people to overcome multiple, complex needs and move them closer to training and work. The programme has already supported over 2,000 people to get back on track.
New Charter Homes, part of the newly formed Jigsaw Group, is leading the Motiv8 programme with support from four other Manchester Athena housing providers – Stockport Homes, ForViva, Wythenshawe Community Housing Group and Bolton at Home. Manchester Athena is a partnership of 15 social landlords across Greater Manchester, who work together to deliver employment and health programmes across the region.
The 24 Housing Awards were founded in 2013 with the aim of celebrating the very best that the housing sector has to offer and the Awards have become a celebration, reflection and recognition of the UK housing sector and its professionals whose job it is to provide a vital resource to some of the most vulnerable people in the country.
Kerrie Pryde, Assistant Director of Commercial Services for Jigsaw Group, said: "We were up against some strong competition at this prestigious event which was attended by over 500 UK housing professionals. We are absolutely thrilled that the work that we are doing has been recognised and follows success in the Housing Heroes Award earlier this year. This is a very much a team effort with our partners delivering the service locally across Greater Manchester. Our approach, through Motiv8, is a tailored, personal one that is adapted to suit the needs of our clients and it is very rewarding to see the difference we can make when people are supported to receive the help they need."
To qualify for Motiv8 support you need to be aged 25 or over, live in Greater Manchester and have the right to remain and work in the UK. You must also not be involved with any other training or employment. You can either contact Motiv8 direct or be referred through an agency. The programme encourages referrals from people who are under-represented in the labour-market such as ex-offenders, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups, ethnic minorities and migrant communities as well as people who have, for a variety of reasons, lost their way.

North central Missouri [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!
Retired from real work, too many years of construction as a millwright, certified weldor and millwright business owner. A few years were diverted from construction to fulfill a dream as a gunsmith, (hint, learn to live on less if you do this). I currently have a shop that has room for all the tools I have accumulated throughout my life. I have tigs migs, lath, mill, blast cabinet, drill press, sheet metal break, etc. I also have my CNC plasma table with a 4 X 8 capacity. That's my stuff, now what I would like help with.
I have an Enco mill that I bought new in 82 for use in my gunsmith work. I would like to convert it to CNC. Even though I have had my plasma table in use for several years I am a user and not versed in the design of computer control. I would appreciate any and all help in designing and fabricating the changeover of my mill.
I used to be from this area. I grew up in Lewis County. The parents still live there, so I make it back 4 or 5 times a year.
You're in the right place to get information about CNC conversions and programming. Read lots and ask whenever you get stuck; you'll be up and running in no time!
Did you ever manage to hook up with someone for this stuff? I'm pretty much due south of you off of 63.

Detailed Internal Structure of a Mini-Brain Organoid Revealed for the First Time
Published: January 8, 2021

Research published today by a team of scientists and engineers from HEPIA and the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering, in the journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, has revealed the detailed internal anatomy of 'mini-brains', for the first time. Credit: HEPIA

'Mini-brains' are pin-head sized collections of several different types of human brain cell. They are used as a tool, allowing scientists to learn about how the brain develops, study disease and test new medicines. Personalized 'mini-brains' can be grown from stem cells generated from a sample of human hair or skin and could shed light on how brain disease progresses in an individual and how this person may respond to drugs.
Research published today by a team of scientists and engineers from HEPIA and the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering, in the journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, has revealed the detailed internal anatomy of 'mini-brains', for the first time.
"Despite advances in growing 'mini-brains', it has been difficult to understand in detail what is going on inside - until now," said Professor Adrien Roux from the Tissue Engineering Laboratory, HEPIA, senior author on the paper.
"Typically, to look inside a 'mini-brain', we slice it thinly and view it on a slide under a microscope. This is a slow process that can damage the sample. Now, for the first time, we have produced high resolution 3D images of single neurons within intact 'mini-brains', revealing their remarkable complexity," added Dr Subashika Govindan, lead author on the paper, who carried out the work at HEPIA and is now Wellcome DBT early career fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM).

The team combined a novel technique for labeling individual neurons with a method to make the whole sample completely transparent.
Leveraging the Wyss Center's microscopy capabilities, the team developed a state-of-the-art custom module, including a bespoke sample holder and sensitive imaging detectors, for capturing 3D images of entire intact 'mini-brains', without slicing them. They were then able to visualize and analyze the 3D morphology of specific neurons and their anatomical distribution inside the 'mini-brains'.
Dr Laura Batti, Microscopy Facility Manager at the Wyss Center said: "Human 'mini-brains' have a life span of more than a year and, with our new ability to visualize them in more detail, we can envision benefits such as reducing some animal testing."
The new approach could also enable imaging of large numbers of 'mini-brains', making it suitable for high-throughput screening for drug discovery or toxicity testing. It is reproducible and cost-effective and could potentially help accelerate personalized medicine studies.

Ksh.500M released for 14 counties in off-grid solar project
By Citizen Reporter For Citizen Digital
Published on: October 17, 2020 15:29 (EAT)
It seeks to have 250,000 households served by stand-alone solar systems and 150,000 households served by Clean Cooking Solutions (CCS).
It further seeks to construct 157 mini-grids in the targeted counties that will be used to connect about 61,500 households with solar power.
Similarly, about 473 public facilities including secondary schools, health clinics as well as administrative offices will be supplied with solar power under the Project.
A total of 380 boreholes that currently use diesel and other fuels will also benefit with installation of renewable solar power.
Residents from 14 counties will now have access to solar and clean cooking products following the release of Ksh. 500million from the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP).
The funds were released to 19 companies to facilitate the sale of their products in Turkana, West Pokot, Isiolo, Wajir, Garissa, Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo, Tana River, Lamu, Kwale, Kilifi, Taita Taveta and Narok counties.
"This is a major milestone for us at the Ministry and the Government of Kenya. This project will enable us to provide Stand-alone Solar Systems (SSS) and Clean Cooking Solutions (CCS) for households in 14 counties that are currently underserved by the national electricity grid, as a critical lever for achieving inclusion, a higher standard of living for our citizens and overall socio-economic development," Energy CS Charles Keter said.
The 19 companies are expected to set up sales and after-sales infrastructure for standalone solar systems and modern cookstoves under the Ksh. 15billion KOSAP plan.
A total of 10 vendors have been selected for standalone solar systems and 9 for clean cooking component, after a competitive evaluation process.
Under this first round of funding, the solar companies received Ksh. 300million cumulatively and will be expected to sell about 165,000 solar products in the 14 counties.
Kenya records 138 new COVID-19 cases, 3 deaths
The nine Clean Cooking Solutions (CCS) vendors have received a total of Ksh. 200million cumulatively and they are expected to sell about 85,000 stoves in the five Counties of West Pokot, Turkana, Marsabit, Samburu and Isiolo.
The companies are contracted under the second component of KOSAP, where Results Based Financing (RBF) and Debt Facilities have been established.
This is aimed at spurring private sector actors to invest in modern solar solutions and providing clean cooking solutions in counties that are not served by the national electricity grid.
KOSAP is extending financing to the selected companies as part of the government efforts to achieve universal access to electricity by 2022 and universal access to clean cooking by 2028.
This is per the Kenya National Electrification Strategy and the Kenya Sustainable Energy for Action Agenda respectively.
The Results Based Financing (RBF) and Debt Facilities are managed by SNV Netherlands Development Organization and SunFunder, on behalf of the Ministry of Energy.
The recipient firms are expected to use the funds for product acquisition (stock), market distribution (network building at local level e.g. set-up of agents) and sales conversions through marketing and direct engagement with potential customers.
The Solar Service Providers (SSPs) that have been selected to participate in this component of the project are: Ms Greenlight Planet Kenya, Ms Solibrium Ltd, Ms Solar Integrated Appliances Ltd, Ms Raju Shanga House Ltd, Ms Azuri Technologies Ltd, Ms D. Light Ltd, Ms Livelyhoods Kenya Ltd, Ms Biolite Holdings Ltd, Ms Mobisol Holdings Ltd, and Ms Pawame Ltd.
On the Clean Cooking Solutions (CCS) front, the following firms were successful: Ms Rafode Renewable Energy Ltd, Ms Solar Integrated Appliances Ltd, Ms Raju Shanga House Ltd, Ms MK Light Africa Ltd, Ms Livelyhoods Kenya Ltd, Ms Biolite Holdings Ltd, Ms Africa Clean Energy Ltd and Ms Kenya Women Finance Trust.
The five-year project is supported by the World Bank and implemented by the Ministry of Energy, Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) and Rural Electrification & Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC).
In order to meet the target of 250,000,000 households served by stand-alone solar, the Results Based Facility under KOSAP, will have three additional phases where total of KSh1.20 billion will be disbursed to solar companies.
A further Ksh. 3billion will be availed as short-term debt to the solar service providers (SSPs) to finance costs associated with solar product stocking and transit to Kenya until a sale is made.
This model is expected to enable the service providers to adopt favorable payment methods that will allow households to pay off the costs of the solar products over time.
The service providers are expected to provide both portable and installed solar home systems consisting of at least two fixed lights; one portable light, radio operations and phone charging capabilities which meet Lighting Global Standards.
Under the Clean Cooking Component, a second phase that will also include the Counties of Kilifi, Kwale and Lamu, is expected to be unveiled in the coming year.
A total of Ksh. 500million will be extended to companies to enable them to market their stoves locally, increase their inventories of the selected higher-quality stoves, purchase and transport them to the target communities in number, and to sell them in the communities.
All the stoves sold under the Project must be Tier 2 and above stoves as per the ISO IWA standards.

At 5,000,000 km2, the territory's waters span an area as large as the landmass of the European Union.
About 600 km from Tahiti, the Austral Islands are the southernmost of the five archipelagos that make up French Polynesia, and have five inhabited and two uninhabited islands. Their relative isolation has resulted in a high number of species unique to the archipelago's waters, especially among molluscs, fish, coral, and algae.
The people of the Australs are proud of their natural and cultural heritage and its strong ties to the ocean. They have a long history of implementing rāhui, a traditional Polynesian practice of restricting marine access to an area or resource in order to conserve it.
The mayors and communities of the Austral Islands invited the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy team to collaborate on efforts to designate a large-scale marine reserve in their waters.
The Marquesas Islands, the northernmost archipelago in French Polynesia, comprise 12 islands, of which six are inhabited. Their waters are a biodiversity hotspot, and an important area for the reproduction of big eye tuna, a threatened species.
In 2014, French Polynesia committed to creating large marine protected areas in the waters, of 1,000,000 km2 around the Austral Islands, and 700,000 km2 around the Marquesas Islands.
The Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy team continues to work closely with municipalities, fishermen, scientists, environmental organizations, and the private sector on marine protection scenarios that respect traditional Polynesian culture and civil society.

The use of sign language in prisons is a twofold story with two diametrically opposed sides. One use of sign language is for the greater good and the other for the greater evil. The use of sign language in prisons is further evidence, as if any were needed, that language pervades every aspect of our lives and that even a type of language characterised by the fact it is not a verbal performance has so many different uses, not all of them good, that it proves how vital language is to human interaction. The two uses in prisons are easy to spot. On one side, prison officers can use sign language to communicate with deaf prisoners and work together to rehabilitate them, on the other gangs within prisons can use sign language to keep dealings away from the prison officers.
In many ways, communicating with deaf prisoners is a lot like anyone else who has to communicate with deaf people for their work. However, in a prison, the ramifications of getting it wrong are many and varied. To communicate properly with a prisoner, a prison officer needs to be able to firstly let them know who is in charge but also to make sure they trust the prison officer and will co-operate with him or her. This is no customer service scenario, as many people who use sign language for work encounter. But, if a prison officer manages to learn sign language, the prisoner will realise that the world is not against him or her and that there are people out there willing to help them. The prison officer must also be wary of tone and emotion, as it is so much harder to converse in a non verbal manner – the prisoner must know in which way the comment or question is made.
But if sign language could be a force for good, it can also be a force for bad. If a gang forms on a prison, sign language can help it to thrive and survive. Prison officers have to constantly be on their guard against any groups of people who may be using non verbal signs to communicate. If they are allowed to communicate in a way in which the authorities cannot monitor, the ramifications could be enormous. Any suspicions which the authorities have about groups communicating in a way which they want to be kept secret means action needs to be taken to split up that group and end that form of communication. If the sign language system is allowed to grow, it will become stronger and more robust as its own system.
Prisons, as in many walks of life, are a prime place where sign language can be employed. But the difference with prisons is that this can be as a force for bad. The use by gangs shows how many different uses sign language has, but it also shows how quickly sign language can pop up as its own system, with its own rules and uses – and makes it easy to see how sign language would have evolved in the original form.


The Census Bureau reports that as of 2010, nearly 57 million people in the U.S. had some form of disability. And in China, the world's most populous nation, it's estimated that there are roughly 83 million handicapped individuals.
In an attempt to raise awareness of the everyday struggles of the disabled population, while earning recognition and respect for these individuals, Chinese artist Jody Xiong teamed up with acrylic paint supplier Winsor & Newton to help these individuals create art.


New orders for US-made goods rose in August and orders for core capital goods were stronger than previously reported, suggesting strong business spending to offset some of the economic drag of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
Factory goods orders in August increased 1.2% as demand for a range of goods rose, the Commerce Department said Thursday.
Economists had forecast factory orders increasing 1.0% in August missed.
Orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft – seen as a measure of business spending plans – jumped 1.1% in August instead of the 0.9% increase reported last month.
Orders for core capital goods advanced 1.3% in July. Shipments of core capital goods, which are used to calculate business equipment spending in the GDP (gross domestic product) report, shot up 1.1% instead of the previously reported 0.7% rise.
Strong business spending on equipment is helping to underpin manufacturing, which makes up about 12 percent of the US economy. Business investment in equipment grew at its fastest pace in 2 years in Q-2.
Spending is rising despite signs of slowing Oil & Gas drilling as ample supplies restrain Crude Oil prices.
In August, orders for machinery gained 0.3% after rising 0.2% in July. Mining, Oil field and Gas field machinery orders dropped 5.1% after leaping 3.7% in July.
Orders for transportation equipment advanced 5.1%, reflecting a 44.8% rise in civilian aircraft orders.
Motor vehicle orders rose 0.7% after declining 2.2% in July. Further gains are likely in September as residents in the areas ravaged by Harvey and Irma replace flood-damaged vehicles.
Tuesday, the major automakers posted higher US new motor vehicle sales for September.
Motor vehicle sales increased to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 18.57-M units in September from 17.72-M units a year earlier, according to the data.

The Maine Coon is a large, semi longhair cat, which was first recognised as a breed in the US state of Maine. The origin of its name is uncertain: the cats have long since been called 'Coon cats', possibly from the early myth that the cat was crossed with a raccoon! They were also known as 'Shags' at one point – in reference to their thick fur.
There are a number of theories about the ancestors of this distinctive breed , including legends about the hardy Scandinavian cats owned by Viking settlers or possibly even Marie Antoinette's cossetted Turkish felines being involved in their family tree!
What is certain is that the original 'Coon Cats', with their well-tufted ears and paws, shaggy coat, and long tail – ideal for wrapping around themselves – were ideally suited to withstanding the harsh winters on the North East coast of the USA, where the breed was first recognised in the 1860s.
Today the breed is famed, not only for its impressive size (males average 10 to 18lbs, and females around 7-12) and stunning looks, but also for its happy-go-lucky personality, affectionate nature and clownish disposition.
Maine Coons are known as the "gentle giants" of the cat world. They are undemanding and happy-go-lucky, but enjoy being the centre of attention too. In our experience, they integrate well in households with other pet cats and dogs, as long as introductions are carefully supervised and not rushed.
Maine Coons come in a huge colour variety, from the 'original' brown tabby (my favourite), through to more 'glamorous' tabby combinations such as creams and tortie-silvers, as well as a range of solid colours including blacks and whites. Smokes and shaded colours are possible too, all with or without white!
Although the coat is much less profuse than in a longhair breed, and some claim it is 'self-maintaining', it is still best to give Maine Coons a weekly comb through, checking for knots and tangles which can be teased out before causing discomfort or becoming a problem.
Maine Coons are slow growing, and it can take around 4 years for them to reach their full size.
Their stunning looks and tractable character has made them popular on TV and in film. Most notably, maybe, is the appearance of a Maine Coon as Mrs Norris in the Harry Potter films, and barely a week goes by without seeing them in an advertising campaign.
If you've not seen a Maine Coon in real life before, and think they might be the breed for you, try to visit a cat show if possible, where breeders and enthusiasts will be happy to tell you all about owning one. A list of forthcoming shows is published on the GCCF website.
Lots more information on the breed, including photos of most colour combinations, can be found at www.maine-coon-cat-club.com


History was made, twice over, in Tuesday's midterm elections, when two Native American women defeated their opponents. Deb Haaland, a Laguna Pueblo from New Mexico, and Sharice Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation from Kansas, are heading to Congress, the first Native American women to do so.
Throughout Indian Country, as the interconnected community of Native Americans is affectionately known, indigenous people were overjoyed. On a night of many firsts (the first Muslim women were elected to Congress, and Davids is also the first openly gay woman elected to represent Kansas), the victories by Davids and Haaland were partly about representation. "I never imagined a world where I would be represented by someone who looks like me," Haaland said in her victory speech, to thundering cheers. These wins are profoundly personal for Native Americans, who were made citizens of this country only in 1924 and weren't afforded the right in some states to vote until 1948.
In fact, it was the Haudenosaunee Confederacy that largely inspired the formation of the nation's representative democracy. American democracy began tragically out of balance, though, because of the fatal flaw wherein women were written out of governance.
Among the Diné of the southwest, a matrilineal nation, it was always the Diné women who owned property, and clans were and still are passed down through the women's lineage. As was with the Haudenosaunee and many other tribal nations during the point of contact with early settlers, Diné women were simply not given the same deference as men when it came to recognition from the settler officials.
The delicate balance achieved in many tribal nations, where women and men each held valued roles in the community, was fractured by colonization. The spiritual lifeways of indigenous people, which deeply valued feminine life sources — Mother Earth above all — was also undermined by the forced assimilation of indigenous people by way of federal government policies.
This bitter history of colonialism, brutality and forced assimilation brought once-thriving tribal nations to their knees.
The United States is built on that legacy, however absent that legacy is from school textbooks and public conversation.

What: One of our all-time favorite British puddings/desserts out there, sticky toffee pudding consists of a dark sponge cake (with the key ingredient of chopped dates) soaked with sweet toffee sauce—a butter, sugar, and cream concoction that's impossible not to love. While its origins are unclear, it was likely invented during the early 20th century in the Lake District of northwest England, from where it quickly spread and achieved "British classic" status in no time. One bite and it all makes sense.
Where: Our pictured STP hails from the top-notch Holly Bush Pub (22 Hollymount, map) in gorgeous Hampstead, not far from sprawling Hampstead Heath.
When: Daily, noon-11pm, though food is served: Mon-Fri, noon-3pm and 6pm-10pm; Sat, noon-4pm and 6pm-10pm; Sun, noon-5pm and 6pm-9pm.
Order: This is a gastropub with a changing seasonal menu, so if you see the sticky toffee pudding (£5.75) on offer, grab it! The sweet, soft cake swims in caramelly toffee sauce and—here's the kicker—is topped with a buttery dollop of Cornish clotted cream, adding a cooling, extra-creamy contrast to the rich, dark, syrupy cake. It's a heavenly end to a meal here, which might include pork and sage sausage rolls, fish pies, smoked wood pigeon, or a host of other delicious things.
Alternatively: This is a pretty popular pudding, widely offered at gastropubs—like The Wells (30 Well Walk, map) in Hampstead—and traditional British restaurants, such as the venerable Rules (35 Maiden Ln, map) in Covent Garden. Draft House (multiple locations including 206-208 Tower Bridge Rd., map) also usually carries it, served with caramel ice cream.

Ekiti disburses N100 million car loans to 278 civil servants
Barely two days after giving out over N60 million as housing loan to some teachers and other workers, Ekiti State Government has again disbursed another N100 million as car loans to 278 civil servants.
The Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development, Mr Akintunde Oyebode, made this known to newsmen on Tuesday evening in Ado Ekiti, newsmen report.
Giving a breakdown of the loan disbursement, he said that the sums ranging from N80,000 to N1.5 million were disbursed to the beneficiaries of the loan scheme depending on their respective grade level.
Oyebode listed the number of loan recipients to include 41 workers between grade levels 02 to 06; 96 officers on grade level 07 to 10; 134 officers on grade levels 12 to 14; six between grade level 15 and 17; while one of the beneficiaries is on consolidated salary.
He described the development as a reflection of the commitment of the present administration to improve the welfare of workers.
He noted that government had continued to fund loan schemes for its employees in spite of the paucity of funds in the state occasioned by the general economic downturn and dwindling allocation from the federation account as well as the effect of the recent global pandemic.
He urged the beneficiaries to judiciously utilise the money and cautioned them against spending the loan on things that would not add values to their lives.
The Commissioner also charged workers to reciprocate government's gesture by rededicating themselves to their duties and supporting the administration's efforts to develop the State.

Lumigan® ophthalmic solution is aimed to treat the most common type of glaucoma called primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Lumigan® eye drops are also used to lower high pressure inside the eyes, which can lead to the aforementioned eye disease if not treated. Intended for individuals over 16 years old.

Additionally, Bimatoprost may lower of the extraocular recipient pressure (sometimes called "episcleral venous pressure").
Bimatoprost is an ocular hypotensive agent that lowers IOP in ocular hypertensive and glaucomatous eyes. Bimatoprost acts as a vasodilator. It expands blood vessels resulting in increased outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes through both trabecular network and uveoscleral pathways. Thus, aqueous humor outflow reduces steady-state IOP, which aids in the treatment of glaucoma.
Adults: instill 1 drop to the treated eye(s) once daily in the evening.
Adolescents 16 years and older: instill 1 drop to the treated eye(s) once daily in the evening.
Lumigan® eye drops are not intended for use in children under 16 years of age.

Lumigan® is a sterile solution for topical ophthalmic use only, not for injection.
Lumigan® solution is associated with allergic reactions, even following a single dose. Discontinue using Lumigan® immediately and contact your physician at the first sign of a rash or allergic reaction.
Contact lenses should be removed before administrating Lumigan® eye drops and may be reinserted after 15 minutes.

My mom's birthday was this past Monday. She took my kids that weekend and then we met at the Hotel Roanoke for lunch on Sunday with my older brother, his wife, and my younger brother. We had a very nice lunch with a very kid-appreciative waitress. My mom got a present from her younger sister with instructions on how to spend it.
Benjamin ate lots of food except for the stuff that was on his plate.
Then we went over to Roanoke Visitor's Center to get some information about the transportation museum. Frances thought this pile of gifts made a great picture place. I tend to agree!
When we got to the Transportation Museum, the kids got to see lots of antique cars; but most of the place is dedicated to rail history in the area. They had a refurbished train they call the Candy Cane Express that we got to ride on. Benjamin took a ride in a racecar while we were in line from the train.
The train goes about a mile down the tracks and comes back. The kids loved it. And they all got a candy cane when they got off.
There was also a playground with transportation themed things to play with. We had to push the kids back and forth on this car about 30 times!
Inside, Benjamin found an old train cockpit (that's probably not the right word...) He played with all the buttons and levers in here for about 20 minutes. Then he left and wandered around a bit and came back to play some more. This was his favorite spot!
Right before we left the kids got in line to get their faces painted. Henry wanted to be Rudolph.
Benjamin actually sat still long enough to be transformed into an adorable kitty.
It was a great trip and we all had a blast!!

Church & Dwight raises 2005 profit target
Published: May 10, 2005 at 7:18 a.m. ET
Mike Maynard
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Church & Dwight Co. CHD, -2.14% reported higher first-quarter earnings and sales and increased its 2005 profit target. Net income came in at $37.7 million, or 56 cents a share, for the three months ended April 1, up from $29.9 million, or 46 cents, earned in the same period in 2004. First-quarter sales reached $420.7 million from $296 million, reflecting the impact of Church & Dwight's buyout of the Armkel joint venture in May 2004. On a pro forma basis, a fully owned Armkel would have contributed an additional 8 cents a share to earnings in the year-ago quarter, the company said. Analysts, on average, had been looking for Church & Dwight to earn 48 cents a share on revenue of $419 million. For the year, the company's profit goal is now "at least" $1.75 a share, as opposed to Wall Street's average view of $1.78. Church & Dwight also said it plans to "substantially increase" spending on marketing and product development for the rest of 2005. Shares of the personal-care and household products manufacturer slipped 18 cents to end Monday's trading at $33.60.

On A Higher Note's Philip O'Hanlon, a kind Irish gent with the impeccable taste in music and the uncommonly good sense to proclaim my amateurish efforts on this blog to be "no where in the same league" as a real audio writer, was as dapper and charming as ever as he showed off the first Luxman turntable to hit our shores in something like a quarter century.
Luxman gear very ably pushed the tunes to the oddly shaped but tonally endearing Vivid B1 loudspeakers this year instead of the big Giya that I first got to see and hear at last year's RMAF. While I'm a fan of the Luxman sound, this year, I was sad that the big room didn't get the benefit of some of the more robust speakers in the Vivid lineup.
I have made no secret of the fact that I'm a fan of Luxman. One of these days, I'd love to own one of their fantastically capable integrated amps, even though I haven't the slightest idea what I'd run with it.
Much later that day, On A Higher Note kindly sponsored the Computer Audiophile crowd to a reception with wine and whiskey. I found Chris Connaker, Ted_B and DallasJustice all milling about, discussing the day's audio goodness.
I felt bad for Stereophile's John Atkinson, gamely trying to actually listen to the gear in the room while everyone around him — thoroughly lubricated by the freely flowing libations — simply spoke louder every time the volume was subtly increased.
At some point near 8pm-ish, with little to no food or sleep (but plenty of caffeine and, now, booze), my stomach was pretty much eating itself, so DallasJustice and I headed over to Del Frisco's to compare notes over steaks.
Which brings me to the next Best In Show moment: veal steak at Del Frisco's. OMFG. Thank God for otherwise commercially useless baby-boy milking cows.

Owning a boat is a convenient means of exploring marine environments. However, its ownership presents vessel added maintenance responsibilities. Keeping a clean toilet in the boat is very important especially when one wishes to sell their vessel. It is because buyers are very quick to check the sanitary conditions of the toilet. It is therefore good to know how to go about Marine Head Odor Removal.
In most cases, the outlet pipe is the obvious offender when it comes to a stinky toilet. In this case, the odor may be emanating either from the inlet or the outlet pipe. To be sure, waft your hand around the open end, if the air is smelly, chances are there are germs in it and should be replaced immediately. Proper sanitation stops clogging by mildew and mold.
Knowledge of the origin of bad smell is important in your quest for a cleaner and healthier on board environment. Bad connection of pipes may present an opportunity for odor to permeate the shafts. The pipes may be leaking and these fissures are a passage through which unwanted air comes from. Ensure that you tighten the seal of the shaft in case it is loose.
Aside from the already mentioned ways of getting rid of bad smell, you can also buy one of the many chemical products in the market. Odor tends to come from clogs under the brim. If proper removal is not done, foul air is released. Fresh air can be restored by utilizing these products which contain enzymes capable of breaking down waste substances and toilet paper to leave the head smelling good.
Pumping frequently is a rewarding means of ensuring a clean marine toilet. After you pump the water out, fill the cistern with a mixture of bleach and water. The solution should contain equal volumes of these, one to one ratio. The method does wonders because when pumping is done, the solution released cleans the bowl. The absence of critters brings wholesome air in the boat.
Another way in which removal of stink is done is through the introduction of a strainer or filter. A common origin of head stench is green plants and other water organisms that through some way get into the water in the cistern. This water, when released during flushing, passes under the rim leaving this dirt on the trap. By placing a strainer, the dirt removed. It can therefore be disposed off easily to leave the head spotless.
If you explore salty waters, the water in the cistern may make the bowl to start releasing unwholesome air. The salty water you fill in the tank may contain small organisms that die in it. Their decomposition causes bad scent. In order to make the boat smell better, flush frequently to get rid of stagnant water. Or better yet, do fresh plumbing so that you use a reservoir instead.
The maintenance of a marine toilet, as mentioned earlier, is quite beneficial. One of the benefits is that you maintain the value of the vessel because you want to receive good returns in case you plan to put on sale. Hence, to be able to reduce the bad impact a bad smell would have on this, keeping up an apt hygienic condition is very vital.

Favorite Films from First Half of 2014
Posted by Richard in Escapes and Pleasures
"MillersTime" Film Reviews, 2014 Film Reviews, Best Films in 2014, Documentaries, Films, Foreign Films, Movies
Compiled below is the list of films I saw between Jan. 1, 2014 and July 31, 2014 that I rated from three and a half to five stars.
These categories are somewhat arbitrary, but generally the five and four and a half star films are pretty close, and I enjoyed those tremendously. The four star ones were all good, but I had some (minor) reservations. The three and half star ones were more problematical films but still worth checking out.
If a film did not make it into one of these categories, I did not write a review.
The ones listed below I recommend for your consideration.
A significant number of these films are either documentary, foreign, or small films, often only in the theaters for a few weeks, usually in one of the independent theaters in the DC area or in our DC Film Club.
If you click on any of the titles below, you will link to my mini-review on MillersTime.
As always, any thoughts, comments, disagreements, agreements, etc. are welcomed.

I like yur list and wish I had more time to go see some of these movies.

We live in Louisiana, after all, so many independent films leave us out. However, we did see a French Film, The Jewish Cardinal, based on a true story about Jean-Paul Lustiger, who was a Jewish convert who became a Cardinal. Very powerful! We also saw and enjoyed The Case Against 8 and Chef. I did find The Grand Hotel rather odd but enjoyable.
Most of the others never even came here. But we will look for them!

They keep begging the landlord to get rid of the waterfall above their bathroom sink.
That's why Grazyna Drozdowicz and Marek Wrotkowski can't believe they'll soon pay 38 per cent more to live in their apartment with the bathroom ceiling that drips smelly water when the neighbour upstairs flushes the toilet.
"It smells like a public toilet," said Wrotkowski, 43, one of 300 demonstrators who rallied at Queen's Park yesterday to protest upcoming rent hikes of 15 to 50 per cent at 13 west-end buildings.
"You can smell the urine in the water leaking down."
The protesters are upset with a loophole in the Ontario government's Tenant Protection Act. It enables landlords to impose retroactive hikes at buildings where rent had been frozen for years pending government-ordered repairs.
Legislation passed by the province in June, 1998, allows landlords to raise rents to the maximum levels allowed if not for the freeze. The hikes can be retroactive to 1985.
Landlords can qualify for the loophole by completing outstanding repairs ordered before the 1998 law change. Tenants can no longer get rents frozen at buildings where new repair requests go unanswered.
The tenants insist their apartments aren't worth such hikes and worry about how they'll afford them. They set up dozens of cardboard boxes and tents sporting messages like "My New Home" to emphasize that point.
"This is just a cruel increase to force on tenants," said Liberal MPP Gerard Kennedy (Parkdale-High Park), who spoke at the rally. "When you have a rental vacancy rate of less than 1 per cent, the landlords know these people have no place to go."
Drozdowicz and Wrotkowski showed off the leaky bathroom ceiling at their apartment at 103 West Lodge Ave. in Parkdale.They say repair requests have gone ignored for a year, but their rent will increase from $494.37 to $683.39 on Nov. 1.
Another tenant showed paint peeling off his walls and a floor dampened by leaks. A mousetrap lay in one corner while knobs on the kitchen cupboards were tied with rubber bands to keep them shut.
His monthly rent will climb 46 per cent from $385.60 to $563.62.
Sukarani Lucknauth, 59, who lives in an adjacent building at 105 West Lodge, pointed to a gaping hole above her shower that left pipes and insulation visible.
"They came last month to fix a leak and had to break the ceiling to get to it," she said, adding that she lacks the means to afford the rent increase.
"But then they never came back."
The two 17-storey towers on West Lodge are owned by Paul and Jeffrey Wynn and are run through a family trust. They say they qualified for the hikes by spending $7 million since 1997 to upgrade a parking garage, put new carpeting in hallways, fix the roof and do paint work.
They could not be reached for comment yesterday, but Jeffrey Wynn told The Star last month, "It's a cumulative increase," in describing the hikes, which are retroactive to 1989.

Foster's 3-pointers unglue Minnesota
February 4, 2006 at 12:00a.m.
Vincent Grier was limited to nine points by Ohio State, which is one game out of first in the Big Ten.
COLUMBUS (AP) -- After a month of not being able to hit a shot, Je'Kel Foster broke out of his lengthy slump in a big way.
Foster made a career-high seven 3-pointers in eight attempts and scored 25 points to lead No. 20 Ohio State to a 67-53 victory over Minnesota on Saturday.
"It feels real good to get back my stroke," the senior guard said. "The basket's still 10 feet tall. I just tried to take my time and knock my shots down."
Foster's only miss behind the arc came on the Buckeyes' first shot after they won the opening tip.
He was 8-of-10 from the field, made both of his free throws and had three assists and two steals in 37 minutes.
Asked if Foster was one of the few people in the conference who could put on such a shooting performance, Minnesota coach Dan Monson said, "I haven't seen anybody go 7-for-8 against us on 3s, so I guess that would qualify."
Foster had hit just 37 percent of his shots from the field, 33 percent on 3-pointers, and averaged 10 points in Big Ten play after shooting 65 percent and 57 percent while scoring 16.5 points a game in the Buckeyes' games leading up to conference play.
"Je'Kel Foster had an incredible game," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "Once we got going there a little bit we were looking to go to him."
Terence Dials had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Buckeyes (16-3, 5-3 Big Ten), while Jamar Butler added 10 points.
The Buckeyes finished 9-of-20 on 3-pointers and shot 59 percent from the field in the second half to pull away.
Freshman Jamal Abu-Shamala had a career-best 16 points and Adam Boone added 10 for the Gophers (10-9, 1-7).
Minnesota beat the Buckeyes in both meetings last season, a fact that nettled Ohio State's players all week.
"We had to live with two tough losses to those guys a year ago," Matta said.
Dials added, "They had confidence coming in because they beat us twice last year. They came in here thinking they could win."
Gophers within reach
Minnesota, which had a 30-24 rebound advantage, stayed in contact with the Buckeyes until J.J. Sullinger scored on a follow midway through the second half and Foster made a 3-pointer in front of Ohio State's bench off an inbounds play.
That made it 52-42 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining and the Golden Gophers never got closer than seven points again.
"There were stretches of the game when neither team scored," Dials said. "With the type of defense they play, you just have to fight through it. We did a good job of doing that."
Vincent Grier, who had 22 points and 12 rebounds as Minnesota won in overtime at Value City Arena a year ago, was limited to nine points and seven rebounds on Saturday.
"We made our guys realize the last three days [at practice] how good he is and how he likes to score," Matta said. "Last year here we had a lead and then he got going."
Ohio State led 33-28 after a sloppy, physical first half. Over one 2 1/2-minute span, the teams traded seven turnovers.
Foster is difference
Foster was clearly the difference, hitting four consecutive 3-pointers after the early miss. He had half of the Buckeyes' points as they took a 24-17 lead by the 7:30 mark.
"I just tried to get down the court and get open before they could find me," Foster said.
The Buckeyes are content to be a game out of first in the Big Ten midway through the conference schedule.
"We're happy with the way things are going," Sullinger said.
"You can look at our three losses and can say that it shouldn't be that way. But there's a lot of basketball left, and we have yet to play our best basketball."

I must admit I have no idea where the last 17 months have gone. At least when I was writing on my blog previously I was able to sort of track time with what I was sewing, with time well away from me I have no perspective of what I have done.
I stopped blogging when Blogger was going through a lot of changes and I just did not have the patience and sit and work through them. I have not been able to comment on other blogs ( still trying to work out why ) although I have been reading and enjoying........ I have decided to expand my computer skills which was one of the reasons why I started blogging in the first place - a practical application - So this means sitting and working through the issues...... Plus I have gone from a windows PC to Mac - the same but different.
The last 17 months has seen me working, at some points full time, my youngest started high school, my middle son while managing full time senior high school also working 20 hours a week - a lot of drop offs and pick ups until his full license comes into play in November and my oldest in his 3rd year Electricians apprenticeship. My husband and I had our first out of Australia holiday - photos will follow in future posts, My husband and oldest son were involved in separate minor car accidents each in their brand new cars, we have a new family member - a Pink and Grey Galah named Fawkes - rescued from the nest when her mother was killed. The list of happenings is extensive - Good and not so good seems to keep us all very busy.
I have still managed to do a bit of sewing, it has helped me keep everything balanced. So the least I can do is write about it, so that I can track time once again.
In my previous post I made mention of some cross stitch kits that I was thinking of making into pin cushions. The kits came with a magazine subscription "Cross Stitch Magic" and "Needlecraft Magic". Each magazine came with a little sampler, some where to be made up as cards, others as magnets, needle books etc. Each month I would pull out the kit, stitch in the gridlines, sometimes I would start stitching....... at the time I had two very full on boys, newborn and a toddler so inevitably they would end up back in their packets and stored away.
I love pin cushions, I just don't like using them. I had a couple packed away for years and recently pulled them out and hung them in my sewing room. They are only little and looked lonely and the idea came to me they might like some company and it all just fell into place with what I could do with the little kits.
At the moment I have some long winded projects on the go and will not see a Monthly finish for the Sew it's Finished Blog - and as I made a commitment to this blog I needed something that was achievable and the double whammy, a UFO would be removed from my massive list.
The two little cross stitches are my first finish. I have added the ribbon for hanging purposes, they will never be used as their name implies.
The miniature quilt also pictured is the tiny leftovers from a quilt I made for my Mother and Father in Law about 7 years ago. The squares are 3/4" finished. It is a replica of the bigger picture, so to speak. It will be used as a coaster.
These are cross stitches I finished years ago that I will also make into Pin Cushions.
And finally, a couple more hexagons on the go for my Vignette Hexagon Quilt, only 5 more flowers to go.
I almost feel like I need to start a pin cushion addict group for support with this little fetish I have that is very quickly busting out of control. What do you think?
Finally a post. I have been meaning to get on and write a post since my last, but my head just couldn't get it together. I have been checking out other blogs and seeing some amazing stuff, being inspired and then just dropping the ball.
I have a little finish of a UFO that has only been going since December 2011. I made mug rugs for Christmas presents that year and had a couple leftover. Yay I was going to get them. So often I make goodies for others, love them to pieces and with good intentions plan on making it for myself, and then never get around to it. Alas I did not buy enough backing fabric, so they have been taunting me ever since. Leftovers from another project to the rescue and they are finished.
I will pack these away until next Christmas now. They match my table runner so I am super chuffed to have them ready.
And what is so cute is the little flowers that poke out the beehive. They are spotty and only last a day. You can see one full bloom and the dead ones off to the side. Each day I go and check on them as each "little bee" pokes his head out and then is gone tomorrow.
6:30pm and well over 30 degrees, where else would you be but watching the sunset on the beach while having a swim. I saved you all from me being in my bathers in the picture. Not a breath of air and just stunning in the water. The beaches near us never get very busy so we are very spoilt.
The second half of 2012 had so much going on that it flew by and I can't believe my last post was back in July. My biggest news is that I have become a consultant for The Chefs Toolbox (http://kayeroberts.thechefstoolbox.net). I bought some of their pans nearly 10 years ago and am still using them so I thought I might have enough experience and definitely enough love for them to be able to demonstrate. My sewing did take a back seat to business setup.
I am determined to balance home, business and sewing - blog this year.
Wendy and Dawn from Sew it's Finished have allowed me to be a posting member again this year and they will keep me on track. I really want the stitcheries from the 2012 incentive quilt they designed..... Due to my lack of blogging August onwards I missed a few........ This quilt has now been added to my UFO list.
I have made some changes to my lists on my side bar - I think I added as many UFO's to my half done list as I added completed to the completed 2012 list. I think we all paddle that boat.
Just getting my head around blogging again and will add the button for Sew it's Finished and some new blogs etc.
This will be a photo free blog, I suppose this is a little like a new years resolution or mission statement. If I put it in writing it will hold me accountable.
I shadow quilted the main panel pieces and basic follow the line quilted the rest. The colored strips were leftovers from another project so were precut.
I even did a little free motion quilting on this. The sun and caterpillar had the honour of a little pizzaz. Usually I am a follow the lines kinda girl but I felt the panels needed a little something.
This is the quilt laid out on my cutting table waiting to be spray basted with 505 spray. I hate pinning quilts and find the basting spray to be the absolute best. No movement puckers front or back. The only thing I do is iron between every few rows of stitching. In the back of this picture is my UFO's.
I also put together these panels for my nieces class. My Mum had them in her stash and thought they might be nice in her class rather than packed away for a rainy day.
This is my second one of this type of quilt. Pockets to hide goodies in, as well as a zipper and buttons and tactile fabrics - toweling, polar fleece, satin, flannel etc.
Next finish are some vision box panels. The kids that have no mobility are laid on the floor with toys suspended above them. The box has to be sturdy as there are other more active kids in the class and it is protecting the child having there quiet time. The boxes wall are plain wood and the thought was to line them with padded fabric panels serving a visual and if they roll purpose.
I decided to theme the fabrics with future thoughts of making felt mobile hangings in the same theme.
This is the visual box that is being "blinged" up. It is having a coat of paint and the panels on the inside will be hung from a rod using rod pockets on the back of the panel.
Finally a friend of mine, whose daughter is a student at the school asked me if I could make her a poncho. She had one in the UK, and found it to brilliant for keeping her warm when outside in her wheelchair. Bulky jackets are time consuming to put on when there is a few of the littlies and the kids are not comfy with a wad of clothing behind them in their chairs.
The poncho is shorter in the back than in the front. the hood is there to stop the freezing cold breeze and the slightly longer front can be wrapped around their legs. And best of all they can tuck their hands under or have them out. I am selling these, if anyone is interested please contact me via email. I am a little restricted by fabric availability for patterned but plain polar fleece is fairly standard in colors.
Thank you Caitlin for being my model. She was very patient with me trialing the hood pattern, as you can imagine there were a couple of mockups made before the final poncho design was reached. This is a favorite as she loves pink, her mum has picked out a gorgeous piece of bright colored fabric for her next one.
When I joined this group http://sewitsfinished.blogspot.com.au/ I was soooooo going to finish a heap of projects including the big ones, unknown to me another large project was going to challenge my one project a month off my to do list. The big projects are still at the bottom of the list but the little annoying ones are being completed. I am struggling even to meet the little ones, but I am really enjoying the incentive of an email from the lovely organisers of this blog and use it as my driver to complete and post.
This finish is the leftovers from flying geese construction on this little quilt.
So from a couple of extra lines of sewing, which at the time I thought I was nuts, I finished two coasters. The original quilt was started 3 or 4 years ago, and I was too tight to throw these bits away. I am really looking forward to trying one out tonight with my cup of tea.
I have added a few more hexagons to my collection, and have been very busy with commissioned sewing......which is very cool. I have even registered my ABN - for me kinda cool. So my lack of blogging is due to lots of sewing.
Ever since I packed up my laptop to make more room for creative genius in my sewing room, I must admit that my blog posting has definitely dropped off. With my extremely busy last few months anything that is not at arms length seems to be hard work. Time to change.
What have I been up to? Well besides enjoying a heap of rain, very unusual for Perth this time of the year. By a heap I mean approximately 80mm over a week, I have been sewing more quilts for my niece. As explained in my previous post, my niece required some tactile items for her children in her class.
Another rag edge, more for the boys this time, the quilt measures finished 40" by 48". that seems rather a good size but the weight of the denim backing, gave me work out. It will be sturdy and hard wearing. I do plan to make a picnic rug one day with all my old jeans. I have been saving them, so this has been a warm up so to speak.
Now this was an interesting quilt to make. It is a tactile, activity mat. The zipper pulls down to reveal polar fleece. The buttons can be undone. and on either side are two pockets with elasticated tops to hide goodies in for the kids to pull out or tuck in. There are rings stitched into the seems in case we want to tie things to the quilt. The rest of the mat is made up of 3D or tactile fabrics.
Theses are knitted or crocheted squares from different wools. The children will be able to pull these out the pockets to rub or feel the different textures of the wools. I have one more mat to make and more goodies to fill the pockets.
My mum sent me over a care package to support the cause, these were squares leftover from a rag edge she made recently, they have made a small floor throw.
These little goodies with ribbons. The kids are not the only ones who like to stroke the ribbons. I am having today off from sewing and will start again tomorrow. I have been sewing every day now since Easter. So a day off will refresh the senses.
Tomorrow will be 29 degrees celsius, and after the rain my garden needs a good tidy. Although it is autumn unseasonal rain encourages growth. All of the next week we are forecast rain again. So my next sewing day will be Sunday.
Happy Mothers Day to all, I wish you a lovely day.
I am a 38 year old mother of 3 and wife to Ron. Arden 15, Haidn 13 and Amber 9. In late 2009 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and after living in Melbourne for 10 yrs decided for health reasons and quality of life to move back to Perth. We live 10 mins from the beach and I am loving the relaxed lifestyle and blue skies. I have been sewing for 30+ years and have grown up watching My Nanna and Mum sew. I love patchworking and had the pleasure of working in a patchwork shop in Melbourne for 4 yrs and helped customers with all sorts of projects which has broadened my horizons in colour and given me confidence to try and buy allsorts.

Deceptive online videos with popular kids characters hide sinister scenes
By: Jacqui Heinrich
Updated: Mar 19, 2018 - 11:27 PM
A popular children's app has been infiltrated with disturbing videos featuring favorite characters in violent, even sexual scenarios.
BOSTON -- A disturbing online trend may have already affected your child without you knowing.
Inappropriate videos have infiltrated the popular YouTube Kids app using beloved children's characters to expose young viewers to sex, drug use, and violence.
"I came in to see what I was hearing and it was Elsa delivering a baby for Ana. Totally inappropriate, she was on a table, legs spread," said Walpole mom Jennifer McLean. "That was not what we started with, we started with a singalong from Frozen."
The problem is being dubbed "ElsaGate" and it's affecting families across the state. Child predators have found ways to manipulate algorithms on YouTube Kids to slip past parental controls and shock unwitting viewers.
This is an important story I've been working on for months - if your child uses #YouTubeKids they may have already fallen into a trap predators meticulously crafted and law enforcement can do little about. Hope you'll watch on @boston25 at 10! #ElsaGate pic.twitter.com/DTq8nG5Ygt
— Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) March 19, 2018
Following a normal video featuring a child's favorite character, a suggested next video shows disturbing content. One click and video suggestions after that grow increasingly deranged.
The videos often masquerade as kid-friendly, featuring the names of popular Nickelodeon and Disney characters, set to familiar music from cartoons or nursery rhymes. Often the videos are also tagged with keywords like 'education'.
"She was crying, and I thought what are you crying at? I turned around and I saw adult hands with Peppa Pig toys, and they were chopping the heads off Peppa Pig. So that was it for me," said Norwood mom Chrissy Campilio.
Chrissy Campilio's daughter Maddie is only 3 years old, and like a lot of parents, Chrissy sometimes hands Maddie the iPad for a quiet five minutes to get things done. She thought she was doing everything right – using an app designated for kids and setting content restrictions for preschool age only—but Maddie fell into a trap child predators meticulously crafted and law enforcement can do little about.
Detective Matthew Murphy with the Massachusetts State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force says law enforcement has known about "ElsaGate" for the last couple years.
What's being done to stop ElsaGate
"There are theories of a financial incentive behind it, but it's also the shock value, the shock of children," Murphy said. "There are theories that the videos are coming from Russia or India, but those have not been confirmed."
Despite due concern, no law enforcement agency is investigating who is behind these videos or why they are being uploaded by the hundreds every day. Unless a child is directly enticed, what's happening is not against the law.
"It is concerning, but there are a lot of concerning things that don't rise to the level of a crime at one moment," Murphy told Boston 25 News reporter Jacqui Heinrich.
YouTube said it is aware of the issue, but with an average 400 hours of content being uploaded every minute, it's nearly impossible to filter out completely. YouTube Kids is not a curated app; the videos are selected by computer algorithms rather than humans, and offending videos that slip past filters can exist on the platform until they are reported and flagged for age restriction.
YouTube Kids responded to the problem by changing their algorithms and advertisement revenue scheme to discourage offending videos from being uploaded in the first place.
In the last 9 months since the change, the platform permanently terminated 50 YouTube channels for endangering children, and removed advertising revenue for 3 million videos that targeted families by using known characters in misleading situations.
A YouTube spokesperson told Boston 25 news:
Protecting families is a priority for our company and we created the YouTube Kids app to offer parents a safer alternative for their children. Beyond that, we've increased our human and engineering resources to remove content that doesn't adhere to our policies and ramped-up our efforts on the main app to age-gate flagged videos that are designed for older audiences. We know there's more work to be done so we've enlisted the help of third party experts to better assess this evolving landscape.
The official YouTube blog listed several proactive steps here.
YouTube Kids also points out that it has enriching content and various monthly initiatives to help kids develop a passion for learning, including #LearnALanguage and #ReadAlong month.
In addition, YouTube Kids also increased parental controls by adding features like timers, individual profiles, and the ability to turn off the search function.
Parents like Campilio and McLean tell Boston 25 News, those very features provided a false sense of security.
"If she didn't cry or whimper I never would have known what she was watching, because it was only a short period of a 30 minute video. You can watch it with them for 28 minutes then that 29th minute can be something really bad," Campilio said. "How do you come back from that, how do you explain that to a child?"
Psychological impact of disturbing content
Child psychologist Dr. Sharon Gordetsky says this kind of material affects kids of different ages in different ways, but children risk being numbed out to violence and they can end up reenacting what they see. Children may also exhibit signs that they have encountered disturbing material by showing abnormal behavior.
"The biggest impact is going to be confusion. I'm expecting one thing, I'm used to one thing, and now it doesn't make sense, it's unfamiliar. Things that are unfamiliar are confusing and cause anxiety," Dr. Gordetsky said.
Both experts and parents agree that technology savvy in toddlers works against parents trying to keep their kids safe. The only surefire way to protect children is through vigilant pre-screening or adult supervision.
"If I put something on, within minutes my kids are flipping for the next video," McLean said.
A spokesperson from YouTube pointed out that the main YouTube site is intended only for children ages 13 and older, while the YouTube Kids platform contains enriching content geared toward children of all ages.
Although the vast majority of videos on YouTube Kids are perfectly safe for children, the ones that aren't can expose them to dark parts of the internet where crimes do happen.
Detective Murphy says parents need to keep watch for any attempted communications with a child, such as talk of meeting up or being directed to a different website where there may be a web cam.
In a 30-day period, a spokesperson YouTube said fewer than .005 percent of videos are flagged for removal from YouTube Kids.
Still, experts say the people behind these videos have at least one clear intention: to deceive both kids and parents.
The scare was enough for these two local moms to stop using YouTube Kids, because the risk of being lured by a predator on the internet far outweighs a few minutes of peace and quiet.
"Delete it, don't trust it, delete it," Campilio said.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says if you encounter this type of content online, you should report it to the platform and to the cyber tip line, and always have conversations with your kids about online safety.

PCV coffee as a symbol for quality and sustainability
Barista plus engineer equals recipe for success: The product developers of PCV Group in Enschede, the Netherlands, are experts in (professional) coffee machines. Since they take their profession seriously, some engineers are also baristas at the same time. The essence of this combination is now reflected in PCV's own coffee blend. A coffee blend that combines quality standards and sustainability. Like the solutions of PCV Group.
One after the other: PCV Group is a kind of "quick respond force" for the manufacturers of professional coffee machines and privately used coffee machines. For example, when it comes to constantly guaranteeing the correct mixing ratio between ground coffee beans, hot water and milk foam in a device, the coffee professionals from Enschede come into play. The right pressure, the exact dosage, the correct temperature - aspects where every detail counts. In other cases it is a question of more extensive automation or of making cleaning easier. "In some projects we are involved from the first construction drawing to the last practical test. Sometimes it's just about a very specific problem that needs to be solved in part of the product," reports lead engineer Hedzer van der Kamp. On the basis of a wide variety of projects for almost all well-known manufacturers of coffee machines, the company has gathered extensive know-how. And word got around in the industry. However, the engineers are not satisfied with the technical side alone. Hedzer van der Kamp and a colleague completed further training to become a barista - so they are also experts in coffee preparation. In addition, they met with the organizer of the course for further individual training hours in which selected challenges were discussed. "We also have access to an international database in which all questions about coffee preparation are answered," explains Van der Kamp.
Fair trade coffee beans
From this mélange of technical know-how and passion for hot drinks, the idea of developing their own coffee blend arose. Since it was supposed to be a real PCV coffee, the choice fell on coffee beans from P for Peru, C for Colombia and V for Vietnam. "But the beans also go perfectly together in terms of taste," assures Van der Kamp. This exclusive blend is roasted for PCV by a coffee roaster in Deventer. Naturally in a device that uses significantly less energy than the market average: the Loring S70 Peregrine reduces gas consumption by 80 percent. It goes without saying that the coffee beans come from fair trade. Sustainability in trade and production - a symbol for the work of PCV engineers. "It is particularly practical that potential customers can personally taste the result of the perfect coffee preparation," says the lead engineer. Not only at the company's headquarters, but also at the customers themselves. For this, packaging containing 750 grams of PCV coffee will be available shortly - ideal souvenirs for customer visits. "In this way, we leave a lasting impression on the customer," says the engineer. To then impress with innovative product developments...

Learn and understand before you start building!
Rapid Learning Cycles Frameworks are intended to make innovation easier, streamline development processes and avoid frustration in product development. Syb Leijenaar is a practitioner of this method and applies it as part of a collaboration with PCV group. Here he explains just what this approach involves.
Snippet: Prototyping in Record Time
Enschede, September 2021. Time is money, as the saying goes, and the world of product development is no exception. That in itself is reason enough to design processes to be as efficient as possible. For example, when producing certain prototypes. When it comes to components that are 3D printed or can be produced by laser cutting, PCV Group relies on its collaboration with Red Drop Design, a company that also calls Enschede its home. In this interview, Sjors Zuidema from PCV Group and Wouter Hoogterp, owner of Red Drop Design, tell us what makes this cooperation special.
Cultural differences—from coffee to consensus
Stefan Ostermann has been working alongside people from the Netherlands for more than 30 years. In this interview, the PCV Group Engineer and Management Partner describes what he sees as the most important quirks that one should bear in mind, and how the right understanding can turn cultural differences into successful collaboration.
Innovation is never about staying in a comfort zone. It's about teaming up together to stretch limits.

Insurance bad faith is just what it sounds like. Every insurance contract issued in South Carolina implies a promise of good faith between the insured and the insurance carrier. However, when you file a claim, you are turned down. Oftentimes, your only recourse is to file a bad faith suit against your insurer, something many policyholders resist doing.
Insurance companies often rely on you being afraid to assert your claim. Every policyholder who is scared to go forward saves the company money. And money is what insurance companies are all about.
Bad faith lawsuits are made on the basis that claims are paid only partially (low-balling), are refused completely or that the policy was canceled in the wake of the claim. Lawsuits may also turn on the question of discrimination — whether you were treated the same as other policyholders.
Bad faith claims are important because proper payment of claims go to medical care, lost wages and living expenses. We know how important these matters are to you, and we fight for your rights — the rights you paid for with your premiums — as if they were our own.
Note that you can only sue your own insurance carrier in a bad faith case only if you meet the legal criteria. However, many people do not realize that the law permits you to demand consequential and punitive damages if you prevail — sometimes doubling or tripling your total award.
When you need a skilled Bennettsville-area insurance claim attorney, call Douglas Jennings Law Firm, LLC, at 843-535-4714 or toll free 800-639-8078. You may also write to us using this online form. We are eager to hear your story.
