What is Company X?
Company X is a nonprofit human rights organization that works to
terminate the practice of child trafficking and exploitation. The company is
based in the United States, but it is also active internationally in areas such
as Cambodia, Thailand, England, India, and the Philippines. Company Xs
main function is to provide survivor care, to teach prevention education, and
to contribute to research on human trafficking. Because of the nature of their
work, Company X works closely with organizations that rescue children and
serves people regardless of religion, ethnicity, race, or gender. Although
Company X is not a faith-based organization, it incorporates elements of
faith/spirituality into its programs (www.companyx.org).
Over the last twelve years, the company has greatly contributed in the
effort to stop child trafficking through numerous projects. These projects
include the building of several safehomes worldwide and the creation of the
Not a #Number curriculum, which was focused on human trafficking and
commercial sexual exploitation prevention and was targeted at youth.

5.3 Introductory Adverbials
Although Chicago 5.207 suggests that however is more effectively used
within a sentence, Kohl 3.9.2 argues that conjunctive adverbs, such as
therefore and however, that interrupt a clause are more likely to interfere
with a readers processing ability. Therefore, Kohl suggests that, if the
conjunctive adverb is meant to relate the clause to the previous clause, the
adverb should be used at the beginning of the sentence.
However, commercial distribution persists and is evolving, including
new forms of activity on the hidden net.
NOT

5.4 Fragments
In more formal documents (such as Love126 research papers), fragments of
any kind should be avoided. However, in more casual Company X articles, a
fragment can be used occasionally for emphasis.
Kids needs to know there is someone who will pick up the phone when
they call and who is willing to journey with them no matter what.
NOT
Knowing someone who will pick up the phone, who is willing to journey
with you no matter what, is someone everyone needs. Especially kids.
5.5 The Conjunction and in a Series
When listing a series of items, use a comma and the conjunction and before
the last item. (See Chicago 6.18.)
