Rukhsar's Story: A Little Girl with the Last Case of Polio in India?

January 13, 2012 Project Director

By Lea Hegg. Originally posted on Impatient Optimists

Rukhsar Khatoon was diagnosed with the last confirmed case of polio in India on 1/13/11, pictured here with her mother We are looking for Rukhsar Khatoon, the young girl with the last reported case of wild poliovirus in India, when we set out for Shahpara village, near Kolkata in the Indian State of West Bengal. It had already been a long day of monitoring a polio immunization campaign and as we walk on, we see groups of vaccinators, lugging “vaccine carriers” and notebooks, headed back to the health center where they started the day’s activities.

Rukhsar, the focus of our search, was just 18 months old when she was paralyzed by polio in January 2011. Although her two siblings received polio vaccinations, Rukhsar was often sick with diarrhea and despite encouragement from local health workers her parents had thought it was safer for her to avoid the vaccine.

We find Rukhsar’s father on the broad, cobbled path that runs through the heart of the village and he leads us to his home. He, like most others in Shahpara, is an embroidery worker who spends long hours creating intricate designs with colorful thread and beads, the famous zardozi work that adorns beautiful clothing worn throughout the country.

Rukhsar is a chubby two-and-a-half-year-old and on this day she wears a bright orange dress.

The stream of doctors, polio workers, and media that have visited this little girl since her diagnosis has made her well known in the neighborhood, but she is still shy around visitors. She huddles against her mother, Shabida, as her family answers our questions. A host of extended family and neighbors gather around to hear her story as chickens and village dogs weave through the courtyard.

Thankfully, the effects of polio were mild and after extensive physical therapy, Rukhsar is now able to walk with little evidence of paralysis.

Her family is aware that she has been very fortunate.

They are now worried about other things: keeping her safe from other illnesses, equipping her to support her family,  and, eventually, making sure she finds a caring husband and has a stable future.  Since she came down with polio, they have encouraged other parents in their community to avoid the same mistake and have worked with local UNICEF staff to educate neighbors to about the vaccine.

Groups of children were everywhere as we left – playing at the feet of embroidering parents, and playing cricket in courtyards. All of these children are at risk for polio. And there was a time when many of them would have been at even greater risk from this debilitating disease.   A teenager limps by with the help of a stick, reminding us of just how recently this greater risk existed. But will Rukhsar be the last to be affected by wild poliovirus in India?

There have been no other cases reported in India since hers. In this country – where some said polio could never be eradicated due to its sheer size, population density, poor sanitary conditions, weak public health system, and poor response to the vaccine -- thanks to millions of health workers, along with dedicated officials, community members and parents -- the tide has turned against polio.

Although we can’t say for sure that polio is gone from India yet, this is already a remarkable feat, of which India should be extremely proud.

Hi, Hearing about Rukhsar was very sad.
But it is one year, there is no new polio case found in all over India. It is an occasion to celebrate like Eid and Diwali.
We must be thankful to our Indian Government,health department Of India, World Health Organization, Unicef, ,Bill Gates, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar,all governmental or none governmental organizations who worked for Polio Eradication Mission.
Special thank to "The Lady of Hope" Irone Taylor Brodsky from America, the director of the movie "The Final Inch" against Polio.

What a beautiful child Rukhsar is. The world is very close to eradication of this disease. It truly is a remarkable feat. We are the Pan American Health Organization - Immunization Project, come visit our facebook page:

India is emerging in many ways and will be free from polio soon. Reaching out to the most corner part of India and to the vulnerable population will be the key to the success, so that no more Rukshar is repeated. Media has always played a big role for the success of any programme. May be if we can bring Rukshar case live into television, it will drive the message of vaccination. Let us also take individual responsibility to spread the message of vaccination to people whom we meet on regular basis.

You could also use the ear candles at home for family and friends. It is advisable to be done by a second person. This will

ensure your safety during the treatment and enables a considerably deeper relaxation. Before you start, always place a

glass of water within reach in order to extinguish the ear candle. Lie down on one side comfortably with the support of a

pillow so that the auditory canal is a vertical position. Light up the unlabeled end and place the non-burning end gently

into the outer ear passage. You will hear a pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame. Your partner will hold the ear candle

firmly in place throughout the process and take care that no hair is within reach of the flame. Each ear candle has a burning

time of 10-12 minutes. It may burn down to 1 cm above the red line marking at the most. Just remove the remainder of the

ear candle carefully and extinguish it in the glass of water ready nearby. Remember to treat both ears one after the other,

each with a new ear candle. After the treatment, rest for 15-30 minutes to support the overall result.

Don’t Miss Out – Gibraltar Music Festival

Glastonbury, V Festival, T in the Park, Leeds and Reading Festival, I think you get the idea… Festivals have come an awful long way since way back in the 1960s, and nowadays music festivals seem to be at the top of everyone’s bucket list no matter what your age is. But if you don’t want to take the risk with the good old English weather, festivals abroad are not only a great way to guarantee the sunshine, but they also offer a fantastic line-up.

112335821 -1

When Does it Take Place?

Don’t Miss Out – Gibraltars Music Festival is the place to be this year.

The festival takes place on the 5th and 6th September 2015 and will be held at the Victoria Stadium.collage

How Do I Get to Gibraltar?

With only a short flying time of 2 hours 50 minutes you could be dancing your socks off in no time. And even better, you can fly directly into Gibraltar from the UK. Alternatively, you could fly into Costa del Sol which is around 1 hour 30 minutes from Gibraltar by road transfer, but this will depend on the traffic. They are also return coach tickets available to pre-book from 11 locations in Spain, so getting to Gibraltar isn’t a problem.

Where is the Stadium?

The Victoria Stadium is close to Gibraltar Airport and around 600 metres from the border of Spain.

The Line-up

A fantastic weekend of music has been lined up for this year’s event with music to suit all ages and tastes.

Duran Duran, Paloma Faith, Estopa, Tom Odell, The Feeling, Lawson, Union J, Third World, Hudson Taylor, Guy Valarino, Kristian Vinales – DJ set , This Side Up, Jeremy Perez and Tom Stott, and Karma 13.

Kings of Leon, Madness, Kaiser Chiefs, James Bay, Ella Henderson, Rae Morris, Dub Colossus, Reach, Headwires, Paddy Taylor, Dead City Radio, Strange Brew, Tim Garcia, and FT Afterhours.

Ape - Gibraltar 28128151

What else does Gibraltar have to offer?

Situated at the most Southern tip of Spain, Gibraltar is well worth a visit. Of course, Gibraltar’s most famous habitants are its Barbary Apes that reside on the famous Rock, but this unique place has so much more on offer. In fact, Gibraltar is British territory so you can expect to see signs of old England dotted around its colourful landscape such as old style red phone boxes. If you love shopping you won’t be disappointed here, Gibraltar is a VAT free haven, giving you a great opportunity to pick up some real bargains. Do you love a bit of history? Then we suggest that you visit the 1779 siege tunnels dug by the British.
So, if you like the sound of the Gibraltar music festival, you could always combine the event with a holiday in the Costa del Sol.
Check out your festival tickets and return coach pick-ups from various locations in Spain here.

Congratulations to Ken Schrader for his ARCA Win!

By: Sean B.05/23/2013 < Back to Blog Home
One thing that should be abundantly clear is that Ken Schrader loves racing. Whether on the dirt tracks across our great nation, or in the ARCA and NASCAR racing series, the 57 year old, Missouri born driver is out there behind the wheel as much as possible. His career in the NASCAR Sprint (Nextel, Winston) cup spans almost 30 years, and has seen him capture the pole in the Daytona 500 in 3 consecutive years ('88-'90).

This past weekend Ken Schrader and the No. 52 Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet team captured the checkered flag at the ARCA Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care from Toledo Speedway. By doing so, Schrader became the oldest race winner in the history of the ARCA Racing Series. We would like to congratulate Ken and the entire team for a great race and we look forward to seeing them through the rest of the ARCA season.

Mallory Ignition is proud to support the ARCA Racing series and racers like Ken Schrader with our CT Pro Ignition Tray, which is comprised of CT Pro Ignition boxes and coils. With proven time-tested reliability, the CT Pro ignition system provides high performance in endurance racing, where every lap counts.

Katzenworld - Caring for Cats on Medication

Posted on 26 April, 2017

Client Lady Lester at home with her cat

Most cat owners will have to face looking after a sick cat at some stage during their cat’s life. This may be a one off illness or they may end up on regular medication. If they have had an operation it could even mean follow up trips to the vet.

But what happens if you need to go away or have a holiday booked? Many owners can be reluctant to leave a sick cat, but sometimes they have no choice. Cancelling a holiday at the last minute can incur charges. Or sometimes things just crop like an important family event or a last minute business trip that can’t be changed.
Increasingly, people are turning to professional pet sitters to come and stay in their home, to take care of their pets and keep the home safe and secure when they go away.

If your cat is on medication or needs a follow up trip to the vet, most in-home pet sitters are happy to give medication, including injections, as directed by the owner and will be happy to take your pet to the vets if required.
One couple that have been using homesitters to look after their cat and pet dog, are Lord and Lady Lester from Herne Hill in London. The couple, a barrister and an immigration judge, typically take a long break in the summer and several shorter trips throughout the year.

Previously, Lady Lester’s mother used to look after the house and pets when they went away but when this became difficult, they needed to find an alternative.
On the recommendation of a neighbour they contacted Homesitters Ltd, a national home and pet sitting company with over 35 years’ experience looking after people’s homes and pets. They liked the fact that all the homesitters have been vetted by the company and are fully insured. Plus the homesitter is never away from the house for more than three hours when they are on assignment so the pets get lots of attention.

The couple told us, “Knowing our home and pets are always safe and secure when we are away gives us peace of mind. Over the years, we’ve met some wonderful homesitters and we always welcome them back. They know us and our routines and they love the animals. We used to have a diabetic cat that needed insulin administering every day but we were confident our homesitter would care for him as we did”.
Another couple, Susan and Surojit Ghosh from London have been using homesitters for around 15 years, firstly to look after one cat, Pepsi who has since sadly died, and now two part Bengal kittens, called Sprite and Scampi.

Initially, the couple used homesitters once or twice a year when they went on their summer holiday and when they travelled to India at Christmas to see family. However, when Surojit was posted to Hong Kong for work the service really came into its own.

Susan was still based in London but used to travel to Hong Kong for five or six weeks at a time and they relied on homesitters to look after Pepsi and their home.
In Pepsi’s last year she was unwell and needed regular medication but Susan was able to go away and leave Pepsi in the care of homesitters with whom she was familiar and who were fond of her.

The couple said, “We had homesitters who were former cat owners and had given medication to cats before, so were comfortable with the situation and knew how to deal with it. We felt reassured that Pepsi was in safe hands and that she wouldn’t feel we had abandoned her because she was with people she knew.”

Having a homesitter can make going away that little bit easier for you and your pet. You are reassured that your home and pets are in safe hands and your pet will be happy to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. This is even more important if you have an elderly cat or dog, or one that needs medication.

If you need someone to look after your cat that is experienced in giving medication give Homesitters a call on 01296 630 730 or visit www.homesitters.co.uk

A Focused Mindset on Fit Living

Taking baby steps to reach your goals

For the most part, people know what it takes to live a fit lifestyle. It’s what we learned in health class or physical education growing up. But, knowing what to do and actually setting our minds to do what is necessary to reach our health and fitness goals, are entirely different things. There are so many distracters that surround us daily and affect our ability to get and stay focused on the things that really matter.

When we were younger, how many times did we hear the adage, “you can do anything you put your mind to?” It’s all about having the right mindset as we embark onto the journey of living a fit lifestyle.

Begin again

To start this journey of fit living, we must begin again. It’s a struggle, believe me I know. So, why not make the commitment to get back to the basics and avoid all of the distracters? Everyone is different, so educate yourself on nutrition and exercise that can be applied to you for you to be successful. Many times we psych ourselves out when the going gets a little tough, but err on the side of positive thinking to get you through.

Face reality – it’s a process

Distracters, such as fad diets or that magic pill that would lead you to believe that you can get and stay fit overnight can be tempting, but ultimately they just won’t work. The reality is, this should be a lifestyle change, so it may take awhile as bad habits are hard to break. You must transition to 1) making healthy lifestyle choices daily and on purpose, 2) getting active every day, www.selenam.livewebroom.com/go2 3) eating healthy balanced meals at least 3 times a day, and 4) getting sufficient rest. Having healthy snacks and plenty of water handy daily is also a big plus.

Take control

During your journey, remember you are in control. Feel free to go all in, but if you go slowly and take baby steps you are more likely to reach your goals. Rather than cutting out soft drinks and sugary drinks, running for 30 – 60 minutes, and taking time to prep your nutritional meals all at once, start off with just eliminating the soft/sugary drinks for the first week or two. Then follow the next couple of weeks with perhaps a walk/run routine for 20 – 30 minutes, and so on. Introducing small changes a little at a time will make a huge difference.

I believe the #1 way to help you take control of your fitness is to understand and stay focused on your ‘why.’  It will keep you in the right mindset and help you stay on track with your fitness goals. According to Comedian Michael Jr., “When you know your ‘why’ then your ‘what’ has more impact, because you’re working towards your purpose.”

Top 5 Places to Visit in Manali

Places to Visit in Manali

Manali is a popular summer destination in India. A beautiful hill station nestled in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. A starting point of numerous treks, Manali is a magical snow-covered place right out of a fairytale. Mesmerising Manali has several places to visit. We have listed down 5 such places in Manali that should certainly be a part of your itinerary, coz your trip would be incomplete otherwise!

1. Solang Valley

Solang Valley is located 14 km North-West of Manali, on the way to Rohtang Pass. It is popular for adventure sports like parachuting, paragliding, skating and zorbing. It’s a picturesque place and is popularly referred to as Snow Point.

2. Hadimba Temple

Hadimba Temple is an ancient cave temple dedicated to Hidimba Devi, wife of Bhima and mother of Ghatotkacha. The temple is made of mudwashed stone and intricately carved wood with a four layered pyramidal top. It is surrounded by a lovely cedar forest (Dhungri Van Vihar).

3. Vashist Hot Water Springs

Vashist is a small village with natural sulphur springs. It is located around 3km from Manali, across the Beas River. One can enter the hot springs for a bath. The water is known to have medicinal properties.

4. Jogini Falls

After a 2km trek from Vashisht Temple, one can reach Jogini Falls. It is sacred to the village Goddess Jogini and is therefore a place of female power, known as a Shakti Peeth. One can enjoy a dip in these cascading falls while admiring the towering snow covered peaks all around.

5. Rohtang Pass

Rohtang Pass is a high mountain pass that connects Manali to the Lahaul and Spiti district and also to Ladakh region in Jammu and Kashmir. The name Rohtang means ‘ground of corpses’ due to the number of people who lost their lives trying to cross it. Culturally, it connects a predominant Hindu region to a Buddhist one. It is blessed with abundant beauty.

Corporate offenders may avoid prosecution

by Nurhuda Syed17 Jan 2018
Deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) may soon be introduced in Singapore courts for certain corporate offences, said law and home affairs minister K Shanmugam.

Under the DPA, prosecutors agree not to prosecute a corporate entity in exchange for the fulfilment of certain conditions. The DPA is a legal tool that the US authorities used in the recent corruption scandal involving Keppel Offshore & Marine.

Corporations would avoid criminal conviction if they meet the conditions of the agreement but could pay higher fines compared to what the current criminal law provides for, said Shanmugam at the ‘Modernising Criminal Justice: New Developments in Criminal Procedure’ dialogue earlier this week organised by the Law Society of Singapore.

Such agreements are only for corporate offenders represented by counsel and are fully voluntary, reported TODAY.

DPAs will contain the terms of the case, including the statement of facts, expiry date and relevant financial penalty where applicable – all of which must be approved by the Singapore high court.

Gregory Vijayendran, president of Law Society called the introduction of the DPA “forward-looking” and not a case of “going light on corporations versus individuals”.

Cases involving corporations can be complex. For instance, corporations are considered “artificial legal persons” and it can be difficult to pinpoint who exactly to blame for a corporate’s wrongdoing, he noted.

“What constitutes the mind of the corporation and whose state of mind should be imputed to the corporation – these are difficult questions,” Vijayendran said.

Being diagnosed at the age of 16 with a rare disorder which affected his ability to play the sport he loved was a blow to Manitowoc native Darrick Whitehouse.

The 33-year-old father of two learned while in high school he had Lymphedema, a disease which is caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system, an important part of immune and circulatory systems, according to the Mayo Clinic.

What made it more troubling was the disease normally is found in patients in their 70s, making Whitehouse the youngest known case in the state of Wisconsin.

The disease impacted his ability to play golf, before eventually resulting in a below the knee amputation in 2009.

"I used to golf a lot in high school but I stopped because of my leg," Whitehouse said. "I was told I could get into other sports but not do too much."

After two years of sitting on the sidelines, Whitehouse began to play golf again. He just needed a little help, and looked to social media for assistance.

"I started talking to a guy on Facebook who helps people with their prosthetics and running legs," Whitehouse said about his conversations to receive assistance. "It sort of led me to search for information on the Challenged Athlete Foundation and I became friends with them on Facebook."

Because of the foundation's help, including paying his entry fee, lodging and travel expenses, Whitehouse will be taking part in the Wisconsin Amputee Golf Tournament at the Coachmen's Inn Golf Course in Edgerton on Friday and Saturday.

The aide is vital to Whitehouse's ability to take part in the event due to his financial restraints.

"I competed in the tournament last year with support from local businesses but it was a real strain," Whitehouse said of his reason for looking for assistance. "There were a lot of out of pocket expenses. It was hard on our small fixed income."

Now with the financial side of things taken care of, he gets to move his focus to just playing golf.

Whitehouse admits it's taken some adjusting to play the sport with his prosthetic.

"I get more tired now than I used to," he said. "It's a lot more difficult going on hills. It's hard to pivot in sand traps with an ankle."

A little discomfort is a small price to pay Whitehouse says, when the larger tab is being picked up.

Ryan Howard Injury: Phillies First Baseman Injured During Loss To Cardinals (VIDEO)

Making your team's last out of the postseason is never a pleasant experience, but it was particularly terrible for Ryan Howard in the Phillies' loss to the Cardinals on Friday night. Recording the game-ending out in a close game is an ignominious distinction that Alex Rodriguez earned, again, on Thursday at Yankee Stadium. It was the second time in two seasons that A-Rod had the displeasure of putting a period at the end of his team's campaign, having been retired by Neftali Feliz to conclude the 2010 ALCS. On Friday night, Howard did the same for the Phillies, also for the second time in two seasons. To make matters, worse Howard appeared to suffer a serious injury while making the out.

The hulking left-handed slugger strode to the plate with the bases clear and two away in the bottom of the ninth inning of the decisive fifth game at Citizens Bank Park. Standing atop the mound was Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, who was looking to close out a complete-game shutout. Howard watched a cut fastball go by for a ball. He swung at the next cutter, missing. He fouled off the next one. After taking a curve from Carpenter to level the count at 2-2, Howard waited for the fifth pitch of his at-bat. Carpenter unfurled another hook. Howard hacked at it, bouncing it between first and second. The large frame of the 6-foot-4 Howard exploded out of the batter's box as best it could. But Nick Punto was positioned perfectly to scoop up the batted ball. Punto tossed the ball to Albert Pujols, who was waving for it as soon as Punto got leather on it. Flip. Catch. Out. Ballgame.

As the Cardinals jubilantly descended on Carpenter, Howard lay sprawled on the first base line. He was grabbing at his left ankle. Trainers rushed out to attend to him, but stunned teammates either shuffled, heads down, back to the clubhouse or watched, glassy-eyed as the Cards celebrated on their home field.

Todd Zolecki Ryan Howard is down. Did something to that left ankle on the final play. Game over. Season over.

Eventually, Howard was helped to his feet. As he made his way back to the dugout, he did not appear able to put any weight on his left leg. Given that the ball that he put in play bounced meekly up the first-base line, Howard's injury had no affect on the outcome of the game. But what if he'd lined it over Pujols' head at first and into right field? Would his ankle still have given out if he'd come out of the box differently? Surely, the Cardinals would have secured that out even as Howard crumpled to the ground but what a controversial finish that would have been.

Regardless of what could have been, the way that the game actually ended was terrible enough for Howard and his teammates. Limited to just three hits over nine scoreless frames, they left the field as boos rained down from the stands. While many of the boos were likely directed at the visiting players hugging and celebrating on the field, that couldn't have been the last sound that any 102-win team wants to hear after its final game.

SportsPickle Ryan Howard gets booed as he's carried off the field. Phillies failed to meet expectations, but Philly fans lived up to our expectations.

Entering the postseason, Howard had been dealing with pain in his left ankle and heel from bursitis. It is unclear if there is any connection between that condition and what happened at the close of the NLDS. After initially being looked at by team trainers, Howard addressed the media.

"I was trying to run and I just felt this pop, and the whole thing went numb like it was on fire," Howard said. "I tried to keep going and went down. It literally felt like I was on a flat tire. I tried to get up, [but I] just couldn't go."

Howard is scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the injury, but he fears that he may have torn his achilles tendon.

'Grey's Anatomy' Star Sara Ramirez Has Something To Say About Bi-Erasure

She made remarks in response to Dustin Lance Black's "When We Rise."

Sara Ramirez is speaking out about what she sees as bi-erasure in “When We Rise,” Dustin Lance Black’s new mini-series about the LGBT movement.

Ramirez took to Twitter earlier this week to share her thoughts on the exclusion of bisexual pioneers from the mini-series’ narrative, which premiered last month. She tweeted a quote card featuring the words of bisexual advocate and founder of the bisexual political action group BiPOL, Lani Ka’ahumanu.

Ka’ahumanu’s words were included in a recent blog post by Martin Rawlings-Fein, which discussed the implication of the exclusion of bisexuals in “When We Rise.”

“[T]he truth is that we have been telling our stories separately for years and being told to ‘shut up’ because nobody in the gay community wants to hear them,” he wrote. “Our stories are not convenient, they do not fit into the boxes in which others try to place them.”

Black responded to Ramirez’s tweet, saying that bisexuals are included in his series, but they simply did not define themselves with such a label at the time.

As for Ramirez, she is ready to work with Black to help get bi stories told.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” star came out as a queer bisexual woman last year at the True Colors Fund’s 40 to None Summit for homeless LGBT youth, and spoke about elevating the “complex narratives” of many in the LGBT community.

“It made sense for me at this time as it was one piece of a larger context I was communicating,” she told HuffPost. “Our most marginalized youth touch on many intersections, and in describing the concept of inter sectionalities, I decided to describe the ones that exist in my own life. The days of pressuring our LGBTQ youth to conform to one homogenized way of presenting LGBTQ are over. We must acknowledge and maintain awareness around their complex narratives.”

A rep for Black was not immediately available to comment.

Home / Blog / What the U.S. Can do to Continue Fighting Human Trafficking in 2018
January 11, 2018

What the U.S. Can do to Continue Fighting Human Trafficking in 2018

Although the United States abolished slavery with the ratification of the 13th Amendment over 150 years ago, there are still an estimated 24.9 million slaves living around the world today. To raise awareness of this crime and its prevalence in our modern world, January was named National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention month.

The United States continues to be both a source and destination country for human trafficking victims. According to the Polaris Project, as of June 2017, the national human trafficking hotline had received 13,897 calls that year, which is expected to double when final stats are reported in early 2018. These calls represent reports of potential trafficking cases or come directly from people seeking help.

While many people continue to think of human trafficking as a third-world problem, the numbers paint a very different picture, with 2,105 of the 7,621 human trafficking cases recorded in 2016 involving U.S. citizens.

Over the past 18 years, the United States has taken numerous actions to help combat human trafficking both domestically and internationally. In 2000, Congress enacted the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) which built a better system of laws to combat trafficking. In 2015 Congress also passed the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, meant to expand the capacity of the U.S. government to help survivors of human trafficking. It has also banned goods made with forced labor from entering the U.S. market and worked to stop the use of forced labor by companies that hold government contracts effective at combating human trafficking.

In 2018, as we honor National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention month, we should keep this progress in mind while continuing to improve policies to combat modern slavery worldwide.

In the coming year Congress should:

Reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act: Last authorized in 2013, this landmark legislation expired in September 2017. A number of strong legislative vehicles reauthorizing TVPA moved through the House and Senate last year, but are still awaiting passage through both chambers. These bills reauthorize the most critical anti-trafficking laws and go a step further, including a critical provision adding human trafficking specialists to U.S. Attorney’s offices throughout the country who will help to gain justice for victims and hold perpetrators accountable.

Last year, according to the State Department, there were only 439 trafficking convictions in the United States. This is a partially a result of the complexity of human trafficking cases and a lack of the governmental collaboration needed to successfully tackle them. Many prosecutors lack the time or resources to take on these complicated cases. Adding a designated prosecutor would bring the capacity to increase collaboration between federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement and victim service providers to help identify and undertake these complex cases, leading to more prosecutions for trafficking crimes.

Robust enforcement of the ban on goods made with forced labor: By amending Section 307 of the Tariff Act in 2016, Congress removed a longstanding loophole that prevented the strong enforcement of a ban on the import of goods made with forced labor into the United States. To enforce this ban, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) needs to initiate robust investigations into the use of forced labor. As of now, it is estimated that the United States imports $142 billion worth of goods made with forced labor annually. Congress should continue to press CBP to act with urgency to identify and stop shipments made with forced labor.

Modern slavery touches each of our lives through the clothing we wear, the electronics we use, and the prevalence of the practice in communities across the country. This year, it is the responsibility of each of us not to turn a blind eye to this crime. The United States must continue to improve policies and laws to ensure that all of us are not complicit in supporting markets for slavery.

Blink and you’d have missed it. On Friday it was announced that Waterstone’s have bought Foyles. Ten years ago this would have been a major news story, and featured in the first few pages of The Times. Today it didn’t feature at all in the main newspaper and only managed a few columns on page 7 of the Business section. It shows how little the media cares about the books sector nowadays. The reason? Probably because most journalists haven’t been in a bookshop for years and fulfill all their bookbuying needs from Amazon.

Fifteen years ago, the UK bookselling industry was thriving. Waterstone’s competed with Books etc, who competed with Ottakars, who competed with Borders, who competed with John Smith & Co, who competed with Blackwells, who competed with Dillons, who competed with Heffers. They all competed with more than 1,600 independent bookstores, of whom my own bookshop, Politico’s was one.

In 2018, Ottakers are gone. Swallowed up by Waterstone’s. Same with Dillons. Books etc went bankrupt. As did Borders. Blackwells have retrenched from 70 shops to 45, including the closure of their famous Charing Cross Road shop in London. Meanwhile they also took over Heffers, Hatchard’s, Hodges & Figgis and James Thin.

Waterstones amazon

There are now only around 850 independent bookstores. Numbers have declined for eleven consecutive years.

Waterstone’s too has been turned around by its transformational chief executive James Daunt, who survived the change of ownership from a Russian oligarch to an American hedge fund. He’s overseen a small cut in the number of stores from just over 300 to 283, but it hasn’t all been about store closures. He’s also opened some new stores, some of which have a local branding rather than the Waterstone’s name. The strategy has caused some controversy in places like Southwold, but financially it’s been a success, I’m told. James Daunt deserves a lot of credit for his stewardship of Waterstone’s. There was a time when it was a basket case of a company, with many in the industry fearing it might go the same way as Books Etc.

Foyles have been a bright light for the independent sector in recent years, opening a string of new stores on London’s South Bank, in two London mainline stations, at Westfield Stratford and in Birmingham, Chelmsford and Bristol. From being seen as the fusty old maiden aunt of the bookselling sector, they transformed themselves into something rather innovative. But financially, they’ve never had a strong balance sheet. Foyles had sales £26.6m in 2017, but made a loss of £89,000. Waterstones achieved sales of £388m in the period to April 2017, reporting a profit of £18m.

This is about buying market share. With this deal, Waterstone’s turnover increases by around 7%, and with the increased margins, Foyle’s should achieve profitability.

James Daunt has pitched the purchase of Foyles as a vital cog in his strategy to take on Amazon. He said…

Together, we will be stronger and better positioned to protect and champion the pleasures of real bookshops in the face of Amazon’s siren call. It is an exciting and invigorating time in bookselling as good bookshops are rediscovering their purpose in the fight back against online and e-reading.

No. What the purchase of Foyles is about is creating a book chainstore monopoly in the United Kingdom. Given Waterstone’s already has a dominant marketshare on the High Street one wonders if the Competition & Markets Authority might have a gentle look at this deal. Daunt is keen to emphasise that Foyles will remain an independent brand and will be operated as an independent business from Waterstone’s. Of course it won’t. Not in the medium to long term, anyway. Why else would it also have been announced that Paul Currie, current chief executive of Foyles, and finance director John Browne will leave the business once the sale is completed at the end of the year.

Economies of scale will be made. Publishers’ margins will be tightened. Publishers who currently sell to Foyles will be told to increase their discounts on their books to the same margin they give Waterstone’s. On average, there will be a 3-5% loss of margin. At the very least.

Foyles has always championed smaller publishers. Quoted in The Bookseller, Jason Burley of Burley Fisher and Camden Lock Books warns:

“The vast majority of the large bookshops in this country are now under the control of James Daunt, which is slightly worrying. It’s concerning and it’s not a good thing for choice. Indies bring a different choice of stock and a variety in the way they choose their staff – they are eccentric and quirky. I would include Foyles in that but I wouldn’t include Waterstones.”

daunts, bookshop

James Daunt comes from the independent sector himself. He still owns Daunts, who run eight shops in London and the Home Counties, including their flagship store, pictured above. The question I have is whether the James Daunt, independent bookseller, approves of the deal James Daunt, the MD of the chain bookseller has done.

As a former independent bookseller and publisher it really concerns me the power Waterstone’s now has. OK, perhaps I should worry more about Amazon, but if Waterstone’s is pitching this deal as an important part of the fight against Amazon, excuse me if I laugh.

If Waterstone’s really wanted to take on Amazon they wouldn’t have such a pisspoor website. They’d be trying to compete with Amazon on their offering online. Bob Woodward’s new book ‘Fear’ is selling on Amazon at £14 including postage if you’re an Amazon Prime member. On Waterstone’s it’s £16.99 plus postage. Waterstone’s site is actually ugly. The purchasing process is easy enough but there’s nothing on the site to encourage you to return. I have no clue how many books Waterstone’s sell through their website every day, but I doubt if it’s 1% of what Amazon sell.

I’m sad to see Foyles lose their independent status. I can remember my visits to Foyles as a teenager, buying books from their dusty politics department on the third floor of their Charing Cross HQ. And then queuing up three times to actually be able to complete the purchase. I started my collection of Times Guides to the House of Commons there.

Times change, I get that, but in these days of globalisation and sector consolidation I do regret the constriction of customer choice we are now being offered in so many areas of our economy.

Yes, we’re getting better value - think about it: the price of books hasn’t increased in 20 years - but it’s not all about the lowest price.

Or is it?

Allu Arjun starrer "Iddarammayilatho" has opened to a good start not just in India, but also overseas.

"Iddarammayilatho" fetched more than ₹12 crore in the opening day collections in India, according to Allu Sirish, brother of Allu Arjun.

"Iddarammayilatho day-1 all India gross : 12cr +. AP - 10.5cr, Karnataka 1.05cr. Waiting for TN & Kerala figures. Bunny's biggest opening. Also among top 3-4 openings in all territories. Congrats to Puri Jagan, Bandla Ganesh, Devi, the girls & IA crew," Allu Sirish tweeted.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film is said to have opened to a grand response worldwide. "Iddarammayilatho" did good business in the overseas market as well.

According to trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh, "Iddarammayilatho" collected a total of ₹97.14 lakh in two days. The film raked in $ 89,680 (around ₹50,731,97) during the Thursday preview and minted $ 82,008 (around ₹46,39,192) on Friday.

"Telugu film #Iddarammayilatho Thu previews $ 89,680, Fri $ 82,008. Total: $ 171,688 [₹97.14 lacs]," Taran tweeted.

It is yet to be seen if the film would be able to sustain the momentum during the first weekend. Mixed reviews from film critics might affect its performance. However, there are no big releases for at least a week. The film is expected to do decent business at the box office.

"Iddarammayilatho" revolves around three leading stars - guitarist Sanju Reddy (Allu Arjun), Akanksha (Catherine Tresa) and Komali Sankarabharanam. Allu Arjun is popularly known as the stylish star and the film gives a lot of scope for the actor to showcase his stylish looks. The film is a visual treat, but lacks substance, according to critics.

The heroines look beautiful, but neither of them have enough scope to perform. The comic scenes by Ali anf Brahmanandam have become routine and fails to evoke laughter.

This is the second time that Allu Arjun has teamed up with director Puri Jagannadh after their hit film "Desamuduru", which was released in 2007. "Iddarammayilatho" has been produced by Ganesh Bandla under Parameswara Art Productions. The music composed by Devi Sri Prasad are chartbusters.

Cost of Living Survey Series

Investigator(s): United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Cost of Living Survey series was created by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), with the goal of estimating the cost of living of a "typical" American family. ICPSR's holdings of such surveys conducted periodically by the Bureau since 1888 consist of: COST OF LIVING OF INDUSTRIAL WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE, 1888-1890 (ICPSR 7711), COST OF LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES, 1917-1919 (ICPSR 8299), and STUDY OF CONSUMER PURCHASES IN THE UNITED STATES, 1935-1936 (ICPSR 8908). The original survey materials from the second of such investigation, conducted in 1901, were deemed to have been destroyed several years ago. A total of 12,817 families of wage earners or salaried workers in industrial locales were originally interviewed in 99 cities throughout the United States. A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities provided ICPSR with funds to convert to computer-readable form the original completed questionnaires housed in the National Archives of the United States. The data include a rich array of information about the income and expenses of the families surveyed, as well as basic demographic characteristics of each of the members of the families or households studied, selected to represent the urban working class of the U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics began a similar survey series in 1941 titled, Consumer Expenditure Survey.

ScreenWest Investment Brings Boomtown Dividends

12 September, 2013 by IF

ScreenWest’s heavy investment in local screen productions is paying dividends with three Western Australian projects set to air on Sunday prime time slots on the ABC.

Telemovie An Accidental Soldier will screen on 15 September, detective series Serangoon Road on 22 September and documentary series Boomtown on 15 October on primetime on ABC1.

ScreenWest Chief Executive Ian Booth said it was an exciting time for the Western Australian screen industry.

“The three productions which will air over during September-October reflect the healthy state of the local industry and ScreenWest’s commitment to local projects,” he said.

“Over the past year ScreenWest has leveraged nearly $60 million in production for local projects and we are now seeing the results of this on screen.

“We are particularly proud of these productions because they demonstrate not only the quality of Western Australia’s screen industry but also the diversity.”

An Accidental Soldier was filmed entirely in Western Australia and stars Bryan Brown and was produced by Sue Taylor from Taylor Media (The Tree, 3 Acts of Murder) and Goalpost Pictures' Kylie du Fresne (The Sapphires, Lockie Leonard). It was directed by Rachel Ward, (The Straits, Rake, My Place, Beautiful Kate).

Based on the book Silent Parts by John Charalambous, An Accidental Soldier follows the wartime story of a baker in the ANZAC service corps who makes an extraordinary decision and finds an unexpected love.

Serangoon Road, a co-production between Singapore, Western Australian production company, Great Western Entertainment, HBO Asia and ABC TV, is set in Singapore in the 1960s. The 10-part detective series tells the story of a port city at a crossroads of violence, politics and crime.

Boomtown, a six-part documentary series, is an Electric Pictures production and directed by Alison James and Chester Dent, with Roz Silvestrin as Series Producer and Andrew Ogilvie as Executive Producer. It follows seven of Western Australia’s high flyers from different industries.
