"Most Americans do not know slavery not only exists in the world today, it flourishes," said Ron Soodalter, co-author of The Slave Next Door, in his presentation in the Pegasus Ballroom Monday morning.

"Somewhere around 27 million people are in bondage in the world today. Now, that’s over twice the number as were trafficked in chains in the entire 350 years of the African slave trade."

Soodalter, an active abolitionist and historian, kicked off International Education Week at UCF as the keynote speaker for the Second Annual International Breakfast. The Slave Next Door presentation concluded the three-part series on "Slavery’s Resurgence" facilitated by the Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Global Perspectives and the International Services Center.

The series began with Somaly Mam, a Cambodian human rights activist, former slave and author of The Road of Lost Innocence: The True Story of a Cambodian Heroine, when she shared her experiences in September.

In October, Micheline Slattery, a human-rights activist and former restavek, or domestic child slave, in both Haiti and the United States, addressed about 300 attendees.

Modern-day slavery includes around 800,000 men, women and children trafficked each year around the world. According to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Web site, about 17,500 of them end up in the United States, with a high percentage received in Florida.

Soodalter suggests a simple Google search on human trafficking for astounding results.

In spite of major federal legislation and anti-trafficking laws passed in 43 states, 103 human-trafficking convictions have resulted, Soodalter said.

Trafficking remains hidden, is largely unreported and difficult to identify. According to the 2009 Trafficking in Persons, or TIP, report, published by the U.S. Department of State, forced labor/involuntary servitude represents the majority of human-trafficking cases in the world. The co-author of Soodalter’s book,  Kevin Bales, wrote the original 156-page TIP report, titled “Trafficking Persons in the United States — A Report to the National Institute of Justice.”

“The whole thing is disserving and extending,” said retired UCF foreign language professor David Gurney. “It contributes to the antagonism from people in underdeveloped countries to Western civilizations or Western countries.”

In the 1850s, purchasing a slave ran roughly $1,200, the equivalent of around $40,000 in today’s money. The reality is purchasing a slave today costs as little as $100, which makes them affordable and disposable, Soodalter said.

A trafficking victim lives in fear of violence or the threat of violence daily, he said.

Shawn Cox, victim witness coordinator and licensed clinical social worker with the United States Attorney’s Office, advocates that trafficking is a crime of absolute power over someone. According to the report Cox co-authored, “Victims of Human Trafficking and Trauma,” the psychological consequences of a victim are similar to the consequences of severe or chronic child abuse or experiencing acts of terrorism.

"In case you thought slavery doesn’t touch you, guess again," Soodalter said. "Chances are, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, has been touched by slavery."

The good news is there have been some inroads made recently in the area of agricultural servitude, Soodalter said. When Taco Bell refused to stop buying produce picked by enslaved workers in an effort known as the "Ban the Bell" campaign, it set a precedent that several other companies, including McDonalds, A&W, Long John Silver’s, Pizza Hut, Whole Foods, Chipotle and Burger King, have followed, Soodalter said.

"The message is clear," Soodalter said. "Slavery and worker abuse will not be tolerated. Not here, not now, not ever."

Mark Freeman, public affairs coordinator for the Global Perspectives Office, said they are hoping to continue the series next spring since response has been incredible. Because of the series last spring, students on campus were so spurred into action they formed the unofficial student group “Students Against Slavery @ UCF,” Freeman said. “Students Against Slavery @ UCF” has a Facebook page, and Harry Coverston serves as the faculty advisor for the group.

"Spreading the word is the most important thing," said Frank Hegedus, a senior political science and international relations major. "There is only right now."

Identifying problem is 25% progress; solving the problem is 5% progress; 70% progress occurs when we convince ourselves of the existence of problem and come to terms with it.

What is the risk of getting cancer? There are two types of risk, absolute and relative.

If you are over 35, try out the breast cancer risk assessment tool at cancer.gov. There are also tools for colorectal cancer and melanoma.

Also from cancer.gov:

Absolute risk is the number of people who will get the disease within a certain time period. Absolute risk gives an actual number of people with that risk factor who will get the condition. You also may see this expressed as, for example, “10 out of 100 people.”

Relative risk compares the chance that a person with a certain risk factor will get cancer to the chance that a person without the same risk factor will get cancer. When you hear that someone is at “high” risk or “low” risk of getting cancer, it is referring to that person’s relative risk.

Relative risk is usually shown as a percent or ratio. The ratio is based around the value of 1. A value above 1 means a higher risk; a value below 1 means a lower risk.

There are different kinds of risk factors, they include genetic (I have a second degree relative with a cancer history-2 generations away), environmental (secondhand smoke exposure and sun), biological (gender, age, race, skin complexion), or behavioral (what I eat and drink, how much exercise I get).

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I had no risk factors. No first degree relatives, (in fact I didn’t know that I had any relatives with cancer until I was asked the family history question for the first time), no second-hand smoke exposure-unless you count flying in the 70’s) , didn’t come from an ethnic group at higher risk etc. Regular readers will recall that I do not have the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations either. Cancer was a complete surprise to me.

I had to fight to get a mammogram back then. When I eventually did, it turned into several right away. So I have been getting mammograms for most of my adult life. I have also been taught that cancer is a bad thing and one deals with it in certain ways. I put my own spin on it initially by opting for a lumpectomy; deciding that there was plenty of time to be invasive later.

If some cancers should now be left alone, because we will die of other things first, much patient education needs to begin, and include women age 18 and up.

I was too young for the risk assessment tool above when I had it first. Women who have breast cancer at an early age pass on an unwanted inheritance to their daughters-the gift of early screening. It needs to begin ten years prior to their mother’s diagnosis.

The recent report of a possible breast cancer advice shift needs to clearly address the entire population of women. Young women with cancer, women with different risk factors were ignored in the recommendations or maybe just the media reporting. The Secretary of Health and Human Services could also address these missing groups of women in her recommendations.

Most of the time we see customers statement of requirement for their system availability to be 99.9% or 99.99% or higher. What does it really mean? What determines these figures?

When customers say they want the system to be 99% availability, it means they want the system to be available 99% of the time, with the allowance of 1% downtime. Let’s put value to the time, and for the sake of simple calculation, let’s take 100 days. The customer wants their system to be available for user access for 99 days with the allowance of 1 day downtime. Which means in a year, the allowance of downtime is approximately 3.5 days.

The following table shows the translation of percentage availability to downtime in a year, month, and week.

We need to know what is meant by downtime. Downtime means the period of time that the server/service is unavailable. It could be the result of:

a. planned downtime – occurs due to maintenance such as server reboot after patches update, etc

b. unplanned downtime – occurs due to service/hardware failure such as power outage, network connection problem, etc

How do we determine which figure is suited for our system? The more critical the system is, the higher percentage availability goes.

How do determine the system’s critical level? We have to look at the system, understand what the system does, and what are the consequences when the system is down, whether it slows down operations, or it can cause life and death situations. When the system can cause life and death situations, it is understood that the system has high critical level, which requires high availability percentage.

How does the system engineers design the system to have high percentage availability? Mostly, engineers will eliminate every single point of failures by introducing fault tolerance, redundancy equipment, clustering, and load balancing.

The cost of system with high percentage availability. We also have to keep in mind that high percentage availability means engineers will propose for lots of redundancy which shoots up the price sky high.

Yesterday, HR 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, passed the House of Representatives with a slim 5 vote margin to make history in America. The sweeping bill includes a public option-so the public option government health care plan is no longer “optional”. If you would like to hear the bill read out loud, visit this website HearTheBill.org .

Yours truly was glued to C-SPAN for most of the day. It was fascinating to look at cspan.org last night, and check out the member speeches the choose to post on their site.  I stood amazed (well, sat on my couch actually)

• at the breadth of stories (both true and false) told on the floor,
• the mind numbing use of repetitive phrases,
• the patience of Rep. Dingell and each subsequent presiding member as they politely requested that members “heed the gavel” and that visitors in the galleries ” were guests of the House” and had to adhere to House rules,
• the utter lack of interest in Rep. Wally Herger’s floor speech (D-CA District 2) from his colleagues seated nearby-presumably from his own party
• Speaker Pelosi’s floor speech where she reminded her colleagues that HR 3962 would not treat being female as a reason to deny coverage for a “pre-existing condition”.
• Speeches by Rep. Waxman, Rep. McDermott (WA) , Rep. Miller (CA), Rep. Velasquez, Rep. Slaughter, Rep. Meek
• The lifelong commitment of Rep. Dingell and his family before him to providing health care for all Americans,
• The surprising inclusion of the Stupak amendment, the most restrictive amendment since the Hyde Amendment on abortion rights
• The misused, recurring call of “parliamentary inquiry” to the chair
• The various descriptions of the weight of the bill and the number of pages (Jon Stewart summarizes it well)

No matter if you approve or disapprove, this day has been a long time coming-since the time of President Roosevelt or even President Truman-no bill has gotten this far. The next few weeks will still be crucial, especially with the “poison pill” of the Stupak amendment now contained within the bill, sort of like an odd political pregnancy.

For the next several weeks, we’ll look at report cards from around the world.

~ 5^th Stop ~ Malawi ~

.

A landlocked country in southeast Africa, the Republic of Malawi is home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites, Lake Malawi National Park and Chongoni Rock Art Area. Another impressive geologic formation, the Great Rift Valley, runs through Malawi like a vein. Malawi gained independence from the British in 1964 (only 45 years ago), though examples of colonization remain, such as British standard schools. Unfortunately Malawi ranks as one of the least developed and most populated countries in the world. With a population of about 14 million, low life expectancy and high infant mortality, Malawi relies on foreign aid to develop.

Note ~ This is an international and NOT a local school as some other countries.

.

Report Card Basics

• Type of School: International Primary School (British Standard)
• Academic Year: 1996 – 1997
• Year: 6

.

.

Here’s the report card! The blue numbers highlight a few interesting aspects of the report and the numbers correspond to notes below the image.

1. Performance, Effort and Teacher’s comments

This school has a relatively short report card (1 page, as opposed to the 11 page report card from Australia). Using space allocation as a measure of importance, teacher’s comments constitute the main aspect of the report, followed by performance and, equally as important, effort. Note the use of letter grades, as opposed to number or percentages that are popular in some other areas.

2. Enjoy, Good, Able… Positive reinforcement

The teachers use positive reinforcement in their comments, detailing the student’s capabilities, rather than areas for improvement (assuming the Bs indicate at least a little room for improvement).

3. It’s a Matter of Effort!

For music, drama, design and physical education, this school only gives grades for effort (and not participation). This indicates a slightly different value system in regards to extra-curricular classes… This may help develop intrinsic motivation, but also indicates that these subjects are less important than the core academic curriculum.

4. On a Personal Note…

At the end of the report, the teacher includes a personal note to the parents, and thanks them for “your kindness and support over the years.” This personal connection indicates the relatively small size of the school but also the closeness of the school community. (The music teacher also includes a “thank you note” in her comments!)

FHA Loan Limits As a result of the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, on February 25, 2009, HUD published changes to FHA’s single family loan limits . Given that most of the loan limits decreased for 2009, most areas will revert to the higher 2008 mortgage limit. On October 29, 2009, House and Senate passed legislation to extend the current loan limits for FHA and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the government sponsored enterprises, or GSEs) through December 31, 2010. These loan limits, set at 125% of local area median home price and capped at $729,750, would have expired on December 31, 2009 in which case loan limits would have been reduced in many markets.

FHA Mortgage Limits

• ER visit week of 10-5-09:   co-pay before entering the treatment room $100, Dr. fee $266-my percentage of 20% after “negotiated adjustment” =  $34.02, IV drugs ?

• Co-pays for 2 Office visits for cellulitis and 1 for DNA Test results: $60
• Flu shot (regular)-no separate bill yet (I think)

• Plus antibiotics (2 different types), extra pain meds (neither of which worked) $40

• DNA test-not yet paid by insurance company $3100 (my maximum will be $350) but I haven’t been billed yet because the insurance company is hassling the lab that performed the service (the one that said they had my back). Classify this one as: “hanging over my head”

• Regular Rx renewals $39.91 (for three months each)

• Office visits for Ovarian Cancer research study: annual ultrasound of ovaries and CA 125 blood Test : FREE (classify this one to rule things out). More on the CA 125 test in a future post.

• Bill for September dentist (annual exam, X-rays and cleaning) $45.40 out of pocket (insurance paid $181.60)
• Co-pays for two therapeutic lymphedema massages: $60

Scary total: $513.00

Keith Toston dives into the end zone to put Oklahoma State up 34-0 in the fourth quarter against Baylor.

At 7 p.m. I left for Tulsa. Didn’t sleep. At 3 a.m. I departed with Matt Johnson and his family for Waco, Texas. Arrived at the stadium. Covered the game. Left for Tulsa again. Got back in Stillwater before midnight.

While I didn’t get to enjoy Waco, I did have a good trip. The Johnson family was great. The game went great. And the ride wasn’t too bad.

Zac Robinson continues to look better with each game. I never thought I would say this, but I think losing Dez Bryant was a good thing. It’s forced Zac to read the field more and he’s handled it impressively. Saturday, he broke a school record (previously held by Gundy) for passing efficiency, completing 85% of his passes.

I do hope we have Dez back for the Texas game though…

My sister is moving to Australia. I’m so concerned about her, I had to research on their health care. Here’s what I found (wiki)–

Health Services in Australia are universal. The Federal Government pays a large percentage of the cost of services in public hospitals. This percentage is calculated on:
1. Whether the Government subsidizes this service (based on the Medicare Benefits Schedule. Typically, 100% of in-hospital costs, and 75-85% of General Practitioner and specialist services are covered.
2. Whether the Patient is a Concession or Receives other Benefits[2]
3. Whether the Patient has crossed the threshold for further subsidised service (based on total health expenditure for the year)[2]

I feel envious.  My employer subsidizes my family’s insurance but I still have to pay part of it.  We also pay for copays.  My parents who are 56 and 60, need to pay for their own insurance, and they’re semi retired, so the funds that come in are limited.  UK also has the same kind of health care.  We’re the super power of the world.  Why can’t we have universal health care as well?  I believe that in the long run, it will be good for everyone.  This is not socialism at all.  It is just giving our citizens what they deserve as a part of this developed country.  Go Obama! I like what Russell Brand, who’s an Englishman said when he hosted the MTV VMA’s.  Something like, what you guys call a truck, we call a lory…you guys have latin people dying in the streets, while we have universal health care.  It is just so true.  You just have to admit it.

Investment properties have been becoming more popular the last five years. As the stock markets continue to rise and fall, people look for alternative ways to invest their money. Influxes of people from around the world who have made their home here have also influenced the investment market. These people look at owning real estate as an asset.

There have also been changes in ways we calculate return on investment. At one time, the quick and dirty method was to take the monthly rent multiply by twelve (months) times ten (years). The reason for ten years was because it was the usual time for you to pay off the property. The figure that you got was what one should pay for the property. Some people still use this formula but find it difficult to see value in property if the figures don’t fit in with this equation. Some other considerations such as if the tenants were paying for their own heat and the location of the property would be taken into account.

Another calculation is income / sale price. So the total gross income of  $41,000 divided by sale price of $357,000 equals 11.48 percent. The smaller the percentage, the better the investment. Most people had the opinion that if the figure was around 9 to 10 percent, it was a good investment.

Still another system is: market value = net operating income divided by overall capitalization rate OR overall capitalization rate = net operating income divided by sale price. Overall capitalization rate = net operating income divided sale price. A capitalization rate is simply what investors call a rate of return on Real Estate assets.

What I’m seeing in today’s world is a new formula – there isn’t any. The price has nothing to do with the operating expenses or the time it takes to pay off the property. I’m seeing that in using the first equation, it will take 16 -20 years to pay off the investment. When I use the second equation, the average percentage is 15-18 percent.

The new investors are not concerned about the initial rate of return but rather the fact they have investment property and using the theory that Real Estate will go up at a rate of 5 percent a year and that is their return on investment. A second new trend is that people are putting their assets together to purchase properties.

So what is the correct method? I’m not sure of the answer. When I first started in real estate, ones debt ratio could not be over 24 percent. Today it is up to 41 percent. At the same time, the lending rate is at a long time low. As well we have variable rates that are even lower. Thus the cost of money is cheap. The combination of cheap monies and mortgage rates are the reason that solid formulas are not used today – our economy is going through a change and perhaps, in the future, there will be different formulas. Because every time I use one of these formulas and tell an agent it’s overpriced, they tell me they have an offer. As long as rates stay like they are, there will be no problems.

Is it a real problem? If so, are the moral aspects of trying to find a solution too heavy a burden to consider? Would we sooner kill the planet and ourselves than to face up to this?

Over time, even if you continue to attract new listings, your list will start to lose steam for three reasons:

1.The people on your list are starting to forget who you are (this is especially true they are listed on several lists).

2.The people on your list can read your messages: they feel they receive nothing interesting to you, or you can offer them as things to sell.

3.The people on your list do not buy anything. This must be avoided at all costs by maintaining a constant percentage of purchase.

What can cause such behavior? Basically three things:
? You do not send enough emails
? You do too much promotion and publicity, or you’re targeting the wrong.
? You do not offer enough free content useful and interesting

The combination of these three actions will lead you directly to the check box.

I can assure you it is easy to avoid such problems and is the exact purpose of this report.

In summary you will seek to maintain constant contact without blowing their mailbox.

You will offer commercial offers regularly to ensure you a steady stream of cash inflows.

For example you can offer your list to get a free day.
http://fr.giveawayoftheday.com

Finally you will compel your prospects / customers to stay enrolled in your list by offering regular free offers exclusive and absolutely irresistible.

This point is crucial. Indeed, a list will not you, immediately, a rich person, unless you do your audience loyalty and expand your visibility through word of mouth about your special free offers.
With this strategy you will maintain your list of “warm”, eager to receive and read your messages-even purely promotional.

In Nederland gebruiken 1,3 miljoen mensen op dit moment mobiel internet. Ten op zichte van 2008 is er een groei van ruim 50% in de wekelijkse gebruikers van het mobiele internet. Multiscope heeft dit in september 2009 onderzocht.

40% van de Nederlanders die mobiel internet heeft, gebruikt de dienst elke dag. Dit is meer dan een verdubbeling ten opzichte van een jaar daarvoor. Inmiddels gebruikt 9% van het volk mobiel internet op wekelijkse basis.

Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat NU.nl de favoriete mobiele website is. Google en Buienrader volgen. In de top 10 staan ook nog Hyves, Hotmail en NOS teletekst. 

De snelheid van het mobiel internet vormt nog steeds een belangrijk nadeel van internetten via de mobiele telefoon. Ook het scherm wordt gezien als beperkende factor.

Tijdens het onderzoek werden de deelnemers ook gevraagd naar hun visie op de toekomst van het mobiele internet. De verwachting is dat mobiel internet in 2015 een penetratie kent van 53%.

Like looking at visual design, info graphics, statistics, data? Have a look a these info graphics from Information Is Beautiful by visual & data journalist, David McCandless. Personally, I love this stuff. I love design & I like reading about little bits of interesting information. I studied a bit of statistics at uni, and it’s so much more interesting to see the information presented so visually (& beautifully) in this way.

Well I didn’t know THAT!!

I need some coffee…

hmm…havent heard of half of those social networking sites above. I bet you that if they broke those stats down even further, they’d find that the majority of females using hi5, bebo etc. were teenager girls with an average age of about 14 or 15, haha.

I think I’d be one of those 50 lazy twitter people…

Yesterday was the end of the month.   This blog is not yet one month old, so the numbers for September will not include the days prior to the First Post.

Expenses this week: Massage (for lymphedema) co-pay $30.00

Expenses for the life of the blog(less than 30 days): $680.68

Cost of worry, uncertainty, and bill-juggling (to paraphrase a national commercial) : Priceless!

Percentage of monthly income: Not  a single digit number!

Prediction for next month: Flat (did you know flat is the new up?)

About the Analytical Counting Math at WordPress

If you try to verify WordPress’s computations using the numbers in these tables you might get different results.

The logic is explained here.

• An average is the sum of views divided by the number of days.
• We exclude days prior to the first recorded view and future days.
• Today (Sep 24) is excluded from averages because it isn’t over yet.
• Yearly averages are computed from sums, not an average of monthly averages.
• Averages are rounded to the nearest integer for display.
• Gray zeroes are exactly zero. Black zeroes have been rounded down.
• Percent change is computed from weekly averages before they are rounded.

Just a note: It doesn’t count your own visits to your blog.

The unity of opposites is a philosophy that has been around for thousands of years. If an element exists, it must have an opposite. If there is hot, there must be cold. If there is good, there must be evil. If there is light, there must be darkness. One of the most interesting views on the unity of opposites is that the things we perceive to be opposites are really the same thing, just at different points along a spectrum. For example, on one end of the spectrum there is darkness and on the other there is light, with infinite degrees of variability in between. The simplest way to measure the balance of the spectrum is with percentages. If a weather forecaster tells you that there is a 70% chance that it will rain tomorrow, you know that there is also a 30% chance that it will not rain tomorrow. Our world is composed of opposites, and so are you. Because of the constant fluctuation of human thought, 100% of any one mindset is virtually impossible. Even if you are 99% good, you must also be 1% evil. Part of you loves. The other part hates. You are not one or the other. You are everything. Your strength of character depends on your ability to embrace your good side and allow evil to subside. “Taking the high road,” is one way to put it.

There’s an old Native American story you may have heard before. An elderly Cherokee man tells his grandchildren that all his life, there has been a fight inside his heart between a good wolf and a bad wolf. The good wolf represents peace, love, and happiness. The bad wolf represents anger, fear, and sorrow. His grandchildren ask him, “Which wolf wins?” The man answers, “The one I feed.”

Duality will always be a part of your life. The more you focus on one side of that duality, the more heavily weighted it will become. You can slide the marker back and forth along the spectrum at will. There is a part of you that loves to be challenged. There is a part of you that loves helping others. There is a part of you that knows you can be successful in life. Always embrace the side of yourself that serves you best. If you are 80% certain that you will fail, you are also 20% certain that you will succeed. Continue focusing on that 20% and it will begin to grow. One day, you will tip the balance in your favor.
