...Sex Trafficking: Warning Signs Sex trafficking is a type of human trafficking. Human trafficking is the trading of men, women, and children for the purpose of servitude and business. It is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world. In sex trafficking, women, usually, are traded within and between countries for sex work. The women are usually deceived and lured into prostitution with a promise of a job or some other wonderful opportunity. Men will trick a woman into meeting up with them; kidnap her, and force her to sell her body. Although these men are very cunning and seem like they have good intentions, here are some warning signs that they might make you there next victim. First, instant love. If he is confessing his undying love within a few days of knowing you, there is more than one reason to think there might be something wrong here. The first step to trapping their potential victim is to get her emotionally involved. Next, job promises. This is the most common bait sex trafficker’s use. They will usually promise a woman a job, tell you to come to a different country where you can work, and promise you big money. But, when you reach the other country, there is no other job waiting for you, other than being forced to work for the trafficker as selling your body for money, or drugs. Next, if the man you are talking to is so desperate to meet you and is willing to pay for a flight to see you, especially in another country, check his background, he may...

...The Local Food Movement Benefits Farms, Food Production, Environment The Local Food Movement, 2010 Pallavi Gogoi is a writer for BusinessWeek Online. She frequently writes on retailing. Just as small family-run, sustainable farms were losing their ability to compete in the food marketplace, the local food movement stepped in with a growing consumer demand for locally grown, organic, fresh produce. In addition to supermarket giants following the trend toward locally grown food and devoting shelf space to such items, local foods are also finding their way into schools, office cafeterias, and even prisons. Although the trend toward organic foods has not waned, consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact caused when organic foods must travel to find their way to the local grocery store shelf. For this and other reasons, consumers are opting instead for locally grown counterparts, choosing to eat what is available in each season in their areas rather than purchasing food that must be shipped from other regions. Drive through the rolling foothills of the Appalachian range in southwestern Virginia and you'll come across Abingdon, one of the oldest towns west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If it happens to be a Saturday morning, you might think there's a party going on—every week between 7 a.m. and noon, more than 1,000 people gather in the parking lot on Main Street, next to the police station. This is Abingdon's farmers' market. "For folks here, this is part of the Saturday...

...Coming to a new group of people is always a little scary, and most would fear a transfer to a place where they have few if any acquaintances, but I am confident of my ability to blend in with the campus community and make a valuable contribution. Speaking of my personal qualities, I believe that my greatest asset is my communication skills that help me to speak common language with people of most diverse backgrounds. I do hate inequality and prejudice and am ready to stand up for any person if I find that others are treating this individual with bias because of race, origin or other qualities related to background that a person has inherited at birth and cannot change. This determination to be fair to all usually wins me a lot of friends and, I hope, relying on my past experience, makes the group of people including me a safer place in terms of being free from prejudice and premature judgments. It is also true that I can organise people into groups of friends by suggesting different leisure-time activities like little outings that provide an incentive for people to get together and be nice to each other. In my view, the ability to hold a group together is a talent in itself as it strengthens social ties between people and can contribute to cohesion and friendliness on campus. My popularity also hinges on my kindness and compassion for other people and sensitivity to their feelings. I have been doing a lot of charity work lately, first volunteering at a day care center, then switching...

With one of my sisters, my mom, and her boyfriend it was a four-hour drive.We went through Ohio and Indiana it was a long drive but it was worth it. It was so cool but the real reason we went down there was to see my brother play baseball because he won a home run derby. And it was scary because they were like heads up and that meant that ball was in the sky and about to fall it was scary to look up so you just ran or ducked.

...Have you ever wondered where chocolate comes from? Well, it actually does grows on trees. Chocolate starts off as small coco beans and through a series of steps becomes that delicious candy sitting on the desk in front of you. Stage one: coco Bean Growing and harvesting Farmers grow coco trees on small farms in hot, rainy environments by equator the pods must be harvested They are cut off the tree with a machete. workers open the pods by hand and remove the beans. Fermentation beans are placed in wooden bins and are covered with banana leaves-left to ferment. heat changes the bitter flavors in the beans into something more edible-less bitter. sugars in the bean turn into acids-color changes from pale to dark brown length of the fermentation process depends on the type of bean-higher quality- only a few days, others may need a week or more. the beans are dried in the sun for about a week. Stage two: factory Chocolate Liquor coco beans are roasted in large rotating ovens-temperatures of about 210-290F Roasting lasts half an hour up to two hours the coco beans are craked open and have their outer shell removed leaves the crushed and broken pieces of coco beans coco bean pieces are ground into a thick paste called chocolate liquor the manufacturer adds sugar, coco butter, vanilla, and milk to the chocolate liquior The mixture is still grainy-so the manufacturer runs the mixture through a series of steel rollers to refine texture.

...develops as a white cottony growth on the stem, stem branches and pods of bean plants (photos 1, 2). The fungus also produces black, hard mats of mycelium (called sclerotia) near these cottony growths (photo 3). Sclerotia allow the organism to survive adverse (winter) conditions. The disease cycle starts when the leaf canopy covers the row spaces and when the soil surface is cool but moist enough for the sclerotia to germinate (photo 4). Soil conditions of near field water holding capacity for ten to fourteen days and temperatures between 59-65 degrees F favor sclerotia germination. Upon germination, small mushroom-like bodies called apothecia appear on the soil surface. Spores are produced by the apothecia and infect wilted flowers or other dead plant tissue, later spreading to living plant tissue. Infection kills some plants and severely reduces the yield of plants with pod infections (photos 5, 6). High humidity and plant canopy temperatures between 68 and 76 degrees F favor the spread of this disease. Crop rotation helps prevent build up of inoculum. A rotation of three to four years between susceptible crops is necessary to accomplish this. Sunflower, potato, canola, mustard, and soybeans should not be grown in close rotation with edible beans because they are susceptible. Small grains and corn are recommended in a rotation with edible beans because they are not susceptible. The use of bean varieties with an upright growth habit in wide rows and the use of recommended...

...1. Processing of Coffee Beans a. Roasting In this process potential tastes of green coffee beans are brought up totally. Main aim in roasting is losing humidity and solid matters. In pink-roasted 3-5% humidity, roasted 5-8% humidity and in hard roasted 8-14% humidity is losing. For this operation roasters which have 188-282 C temperature, are used for 12-30 minutes. Roasting coffee may put on the market after special packaging operation. b. Extraction After roasting coffee beans are ground and allow passage of the substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase is subjected to extraction. Yield increases with increasing temperature and decreasing particle size. Due to the high degree of roasting solid / solvent ratio increase the yield reduces. Take place in two stages: • Washing cycle: Extraction of surface-soluble substances. • Diffusion phase: extraction of substances soluble cellular particles. There are three steps for the extraction of roasted coffee beans. It is difficult to extraction of components such as carbohydrates, the first step of extraction of coffee beans at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure (approximately 10% of atmospheric pressure) is passed through the cells in the 140-180 C hot water. The next step, for the use of extraction more flavorful agent beans passed through into two or more cells which are at100 C water is passed through. Finally the coffee extract is passed through a heat exchanger that cools the extract up to about 50 C. At...
