Somaly Mam Foundation
The Somaly Mam Foundation was a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on combating the global sex slave trade through supporting the rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration of the victims and through raising global awareness on the issue. The foundation funded more than 10 organizations in various parts of the world that combat sexual slavery and human trafficking. These included groups that claim to rescue girls from brothels, and house them before reintegrating them into new communities. On October 18, 2014, the Somaly Mam Foundation announced that it has permanently shut down.[1]
Somaly Mam[edit]
Somaly Mam, co-founder of the Somaly Mam Foundation along with Jared Greenberg and Nicholas Lumpp, was born in the Mondulkiri province of Cambodia. Mam has claimed that she was orphaned at a young age, that she does not know who her real parents are, and that she does she know her real name or exact birth date. She has falsely[2][3] claimed to have received no formal schooling. She did, in fact, graduate from high school in Cambodia.[4][5]
Mam has falsely claimed that was sold many times by a man she called "grandfather" as a sex slave and coerced into prostitution.[6] She has claimed that she was forced to work in a brothel with many other young girls that were treated horrifically through torture, manipulation, and scare tactics and that one night she watched a close friend murdered by a pimp. She claimed that she later returned to Cambodia to bring back some of her experience and ideas to her homeland. She co-founded a non-governmental organization "Agir Pour les Femmes en Situation Précaire" ("Acting for Women in Distressing Circumstances", AFESIP), and became the president of its Cambodian headquarter in Phnom Penh. The organization's main cause was the rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration of coerced sex workers. Mam resigned from the Somaly Mam Foundation after Mam's sex trafficking and abuse claims were disproved in a May 2014 Newsweek article.[7][8]
Board of Advisors[edit]
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, and American actress Susan Sarandon were on the advisory board of the Somaly Mam Foundation.[9]
The Somaly Mam Foundation claims to be dedicated in ending sex slavery around the world with a results-oriented, three-step approach to critical program areas: victim services, survivor empowerment, and the eradication of slavery. The common thread woven through all of the Foundation's programs is the collective voice of survivors. The vision is modeled after Mam's claims of an inspiring life, ensuring that survivors take charge in reclaiming their lives, fight back against their former oppressors, and refuse to turn their backs on those who remain behind.[10]
SMF supports the entire process of healing a survivor from rescue and recovery to rehabilitation and reintegration. The Foundation supports over ten shelters in four countries, providing resources and funding to victim services providers. These organizations provide survivors of human trafficking with food, shelter, and medical and psychological care.[11] These partners include AFESIP Cambodia, AFESIP Laos, Alliance Anti-Trafic in Vietnam, and My Sister's Place in New York.
Once basic needs have been met, SMF supports education and vocational training programs to prepare survivors for reintegration to mainstream society. Survivors are given access to primary and secondary education, and beyond if they wish to do so. These skills are invaluable for survivors to flourish and sustain lives of dignity.[12] Helping survivors of sex slavery become self-sufficient emotionally and financially translates to sustainable employment and alternative long-term solutions to reduce the risk of being re-trafficked or returning to the sex industry.
While survivors have experienced significant trauma, they are often able to thrive with the proper support. The women have gone on to hold steady jobs, open businesses, and get married.[13] In Cambodia, teams visit ex-sex workers to check in and make sure that all is well with them in their lives.[14]
The Somaly Mam Foundation is dedicated to eradicating slavery and the root causes that allow this evil to persist. Rule of law is crucial to the fight against human trafficking. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting and promoting rule of law in regions where the concept is threatened or non-existent. SMF has developed a powerful network of domestic and international partners, such as Lexis Nexis and The Body Shop, to apply pressure to the Cambodian government and justice system to combat corruption and complicity on the part of public officials. SMF works with local groups to demand legislation that effectively addresses the issue and to allocate more resources toward enforcement of these laws.[15][16] The goal is to make engaging in this crime more difficult and costly, as the likelihood of being apprehended and prosecuted will increase. While initial efforts are focused in Cambodia, advocacy campaigns will gradually expand to other countries as well.[17]
Awareness and advocacy are crucial across the globe as well. By increasing knowledge of trafficking, by understanding its root causes, and by creating an environment where the world says "no more," the end of trafficking can come about in the foreseeable future.
Voices for Change[edit]
Sina Vann, a former sex worker, co-directs SMF's Voices for Change (VFC) program. and modeled after Mam's life example, VFC is designed to give survivors an opportunity to help themselves by helping others, to have their voices heard in the courts of law and public perception, and to have influence and impact on effectuating change. Those who have undergone rescue, recovery, education, and reintegration are survivors who can choose to join the Voices for Change initiative and help in the survivor services program area by speaking to new victims brought to the centers, completing intake forms, teaching classes, and sharing life skills training.[18]
Program participants join legal training seminars and give public speaking talks to magistrates, judges, and other members of the legal community brought together to better understand sex slavery. Participating survivors host public service announcements in Cambodia and Southeast Asia. They also accompany Mam to certain fundraising and awareness events to share their experiences.[19]
PROJECT FUTURES global[edit]
PROJECT FUTURES global is the volunteer and activist platform of the Somaly Mam Foundation. This program empowers volunteers to take action and join the fight against slavery by using their skills and interests, their communities, and their social networks to speak out, increase awareness, and raise funds for the Somaly Mam Foundation.[20][dead link]
In 2013, the financial background of the Somaly Mam Foundation came under scrutiny by The Cambodia Daily. In an article titled The Rise of the Somaly Mam Foundation (October 13, 2013) journalist Simon Marks reported on the remarkable earnings of the organisations leadership and top employees. Salaries and compensations show a steep upwards curve, according to annual reports. For example, Somaly Mam herself saw her financial compensation rise from $0 in 2008 to $85,000 in 2009, to $96,000 in 2010, and $125,642 in 2011. Bill Livermore, a former CEO who later left to form his own anti-trafficking organisation, was paid $72,375 in 2009, $166,655 in 2010 and $149,580 in 2011.[21]
An annual gala dinner in New York's Gotham Hall ballroom reguires a donation of $100,000 for a seating of 20 guests at two "gala chair" tables.[22]
According to the 2011 annual report for AFESIP funds went to "improvements in the infrastructure and operations of rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration services" towards 358 victims inside three centers in Cambodia (2010), which 81 of them were younger than 16.

Sam Nareth, a childhood friend of Mam's, says Mam first attended school in the village in 1981 and remained there until she got her high school diploma. "She finished secondary school in 1987, and Somaly and I went to sit the teachers exam in Kompong Cham together." Thou Soy, who was the director of Khchao High School in Thloc Chhroy, distinctly remembers Mam attending classes between 1981 and 1987, as does the current commune chief, Thorng Ruon, and his two predecessors.

We played both the Ridge and Valley courses over two days. Both were in great shape considering it's late November. Greens rolled fast and true. The Ridge course is preferred due to the better views and variety of design although the Valley course is far from a slouch.
The staff (starter, clubhouse and grill) were outstanding. Tough to find better....
I'm from South Florida and my friend is from Arizona. We'll been doing these annual golf outings for over ten years -in the Northeast and very often at Hilton Head.
The Ridge course is one of the most scenic yet challenging courses we have played over the years. Narrow fairways, elevated greens, fast greens with 12-13 on the stimp meter....
Oxmoor Valley Ridge Course was very challenging with more than half of the holes having uphill approach shots. Large contoured greens made for interesting putting. Attractive layout. Nice clubhouse and range. Greens and bunkers were well kept. Unfortunately, when I booked it 7 days in advance, by phone, the staff neglected to tell me they were about to overseed the...
This is out third trip to Alabama to play the Robert Trent Jones Trail and Oxmoor Valley Golf Course. The course was in the worst shape that I have ever seen it. The staff is nice, but this course will be eliminated from our Robert Trent Jones trail play. Several others are by far....much better!!!
Very nice course. Not to challenging but not easy at all. There are some very very good views on this course. The fairways are nice, the greens are well kept, and there is not a bad hole on the course. Some forced carries look intimidating but you will find that they are not that bad.
Make sure your cart is charged, because you are likely to die midway along the course. Fairly well kept and part of the "trail" Much cheaper than sister course at Ross Bridge and more payable by a weekend hacker.
Thank you for playing Oxmoor Valley and for your review on TripAdvisor. I am sorry about your cart running out of power in the middle of your round. We work hard with EZGO to make sure our carts can handle the terrain of our golf courses.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com so I can make sure your next experience is...
...but if you have a choice...play Ross Bridge...it was superb!!! By far the crown jewel of the Robert Trent Jones courses in Alabama. Excellently maintained, extremely challenging and a great restaurant, club house and hotel await you when you finish.
If you are in the area, both the Valley and the Ridge merit a visit. The elevated greens may be difficult for some. Lots of natural beauty to enjoy while you play. Interesting layout and some memorable holes.
There courses are outstanding and a challenge for the average golfer. We have been playing here for 5 years and the service is always top notch. Everyone you encounter is working hard to insure a great experience. If you enjoy walking it is a real work out. Buy a trail card and get great price value or come out on...
Played three RTJ golf courses during 4 day trip, Hampton Cove River, Capitol Hill Judge and the Valley. This was our favorite course. Condition was excellent.

I'll let you all know the opening details as I get them.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Might have to check the Acela schedule...
We are hoping we get tickets! I am excited.
I've waited a year for this moment and its almost here.
The local store at the mall closed and I was left without my disney stuff fix.
I'm really glad they moved the location of the new store to times square. It was not a great location on 5th location. Times Square is lot more happening and now that it is closed to motor traffic it will be much easier to take the girls there. I'm planning on avoiding the November opening. I'd rather take the girls during Christmas break. Maybe get some after holiday sales.
I love New York....
I will be running the NYC Marathon that day, but will definitely recharge my batteries for a store visit!
Does not leave South Station until after 11 Jeff. Anything earlier is just the regional service. Acela will get you in just before 3pm. Too late I think.
I'm planning on driving to Goldens Bridge off 684 and taking the Metro North in.
I'm heading to the new store from Boston. Will wake up very early and drive on Sunday, November 7th.
Very excited to see the new store. Hopefully they will have Vinylmations like the old store did.
woot - taking the train from Florida on Friday and arriving Sat. got my hotel booked and flight home - now I need my d23 event tickets..
Just walked by there on Wednesday, definitely major construction going on, you could see some "disney" painting on the walls
Just "tweeted" by D23...
Tickets available today at 1:00pm EST if you're interested. You can get tickets through the D23 website.
Anyone ever purchased D23 event tickets before? Is it easy to get in?
And is the $5 processing fee per ticket or per order?
Well according to facebook, the event was sold out in 10 seconds... can't say I'm surprised. I feel bad for those who really wanted to go to the pre-opening events.
I actually kind of forgot about it. I saw on twitter people refreshed the site until it opened, and it immediately went to sold out. What the heck?
I was lucky enough to get two tickets to the event.I will do my best to post a report with pictures not sure if they will allow that.
I don't know...sounds kinda fishy to me. Things like this really turn me off to want to become a D23 member.
I was one of the lucky ones to get 2 tickets. VERY excited! This is my first D23 event and right in my backyard! I will also be taking MANY pics! Maybe an article for the DIS?
I am so frustrated with D23 right now. It didn't recognize my account number (which I entered correctly) and then the event was sold out within minutes. This is finally the first D23 event in NY and this happens.
Same here.....very excited about a NYC D23 event. I was waiting for 20minutes beforehand. I actually did get in, didn't recognize my number, rereshed, recognized, but went straight to wait list, then couldn't even get into that.
I know D23 is a small staff, but there ticketing is just horrid. I know they outsource it, but...ugh.
I was so so looking fwd to this.
Maybe I'll go see Elf the Musical instead.
We were also among the lucky ones to get in!
I was in a meeting today, so I gave DH my card and instructions to log in.
He said he got in very easily, registered and printed the receipt.
Then he went back in to check the link and everything was sold out.
I did expect this to sell out pretty quickly- it sounded like it was going to be very limited.
We'll be taking a VERY early train into the city for this!!
Separate names with a comma.

Hair Loss
Hair Loss is one of the most grueling question being faced by large percentage of men & women world-wide. Many organizations, scientists, doctors are working relentlessly to identify all plausible reasons and treat hair loss.
Usually people do not become serious about hair loss till baldness sets in. But once the skin becomes visible through the hair, the person begins to panic. By this time, more than 50% of hair is already lost and the person begins to:
- withdraw from the society
- lose confidence
- feel embarrassed and show low self-esteem
Losing anywhere between 50 to 100 strands of hair a day is normal and there is no need for any worry, should you be seeing that much hair. However, if the count is more and you know that you are losing more hair than normal, then certain red flags are sure to be raised. Hair is actually formed courtesy a protein known as keratin. The actual hair has two sections – the shaft, which is the part visible on the scalp and the root, which is right beneath the scalp. It is the root that actually grows.
While adults might suffer hair loss in greater numbers, even teenagers and children might succumb to the condition. Should young people suffer from hair loss, it could be attributed to poor diet, lacking in the important proteins and other nutrients. Then there are also medical treatments such as chemotherapy, that could lead to hair loss. Given that youngsters like to experiment with their looks and often choose chemical or heat based treatments for their hair, there could be loss of hair.
With no damage to underlying skin (also called as Non-Cicatricial Alopecia)
- Physiologically normally seen
- Infants or newborns Alopecia areata or patchy loss of hair Telogen Effluvium or diffuse hair loss Infections: Bacterial, viral or fungal Intake of medicines / chemicals eg Anticancer drugs, high doses of vitamin-A Self induced physical trauma (also called as Trichotillomania) – seen in depression Compulsive scratching of scalp Hormonal disturbances – thyroid disorders, diabetes, menstrual disturbances, etc. Physical agents – overuse of parlour procedures such as straightening, blow drying
- Radiotherapy
- Tight styling of hair as in tight buns or knots or pulling
With damage to underlying skin (also known as Cicatricial Alopecia)
- Physical trauma eg bums or x-ray overdose (normally seen).
- Some infectious diseases like TB, leprosy, viral diseases like herpes, etc.
- Chemical injury like acid burns
- Skin diseases like DLE, lichen planus, skin cancers, etc.
- Miscellaneous causes
- Androgenetic alopecia or common Male Pattern Baldness (MPB)
- Unusual genetic disorders

Hi Leslie,
Back home after a three day stay in the Savannah which was everything we could have asked for as a base for touring the area. Sampled the hot tub, enjoyed the comfy beds, the hot showers, the well appointed and luxurious three levels and appreciated the local knowledge of your host Herb. Butch's was a great opener the first evening for what turned out to be a a three day adventure, climbing stairs, shopping , dining and enjoying the scenery and the friendly natives. The Holland area proved to be a hidden delight and a place to revisit at different times of the year. Thanks for making all the arrangements clear and foolproof. The Beach House on Lake St will long be remembered and recommended to our friends and family.
Best wishes

As part of its effort to sustain and also improve its curriculum, CAI recently commissioned a market research study to learn what parents considered to be most important in a child's education.
The app is similar to ClassDojo, a behavior management app that has gained popularity in individual classrooms. LiveSchool distinguishes itself by offering tools for school-wide data collection, analysis, and communication with parents.
Alaisa attributes the school's success in large part to a culture that values people—students, teachers, and community members.
The organization founded by Abigail Berman and Matt Sorum, is on a mission to bring vibrant music and arts programs to the Los Angeles United School District, as a way to expand the horizons of children, and to counteract the deep budget cuts that have eliminated the music and arts curriculum from LA schools.
To support states and school districts in their efforts to ensure all students graduate prepared for success in college and careers, Pearson's Research & Innovation Network today launched an online, interactive guide to strategies for leveraging performance assessments to measure 21st Century higher-order skills such as critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving.
The district's adoption expands the Aspen integrated data management platform to a third of all school districts and more than 57,000, or 40 percent, of all students in Rhode Island.
Under a new partnership agreement, the Net Texts content management solution for free OER will be featured in the iSchool Initiative's DLR mobile tour as it travels to schools, conferences, and communities to showcase its exciting vision of the 21st century mobile learning classroom.
The Parent Institute has done the work for principals and teachers who are in the best position to help parents understand the standards but often don't have the time to identify what parents don't know and create a communication plan
Introduced earlier this year, these products are designed for use in schools, training facilities and other professional organizations with large deployments of iOS devices.
Teaming for Transformation II participants will collaborate through an online community focused on digital conversion; a site visit to Katy Independent School District (Katy, TX) to learn about the district's vision and expectations for student-centered learning; and face-to-face meetings at CoSN 2013, among other educational development activities.

Ashton defends England discipline
ESPNscrum Staff
September 18, 2011
Ashton returned to try-scoring form with two against Georgia © Getty Images
Chris Ashton insisted there was no link to be made between England's lack of discipline on the field and their recent issues off it.
Ashton was one of the England group to be found drinking in Queenstown's Altitude Bar last Sunday night, which was hosting a dwarf-racing competition as part of its 'Mad Midget Weekender'. The fall-out from that evening led some to question whether there was a lack of sensible decision-making from professional players at a Rugby World Cup.
England's on-field discipline was poor again today too. They conceded 11 penalties against Argentina last week and another 14 against Georgia. Asked whether there was any link, Ashton said: "No. Refs are being a lot tighter now on a lot of things. I've never seen so many offsides. We have to be a lot smarter.
"You can't relate it to what happened during the week though - because nothing happened. We had a night out and that was it. We relaxed like every other team. So no, I don't think it had anything to do with it."
Martin Johnson's men will have to stamp out those penalties if they are to stand any hope of reaching the later stages of the competition.
"Georgia are a good side and if you give them the chance they're going to threaten you. We played into their hands sometimes," said Ashton. "You can't afford to do that against Australia and New Zealand. There are some aspects we need to tighten and in particular we need to stop giving so many penalties away.
"It's hard to see from where I am exactly what's going on but a lot of them seem to have been offside. Refs are going nuts over the offside rule all of a sudden. Just putting hands in the ruck, we don't need to do it. Our defence is good, our defence is solid. We need to back our defence."
Ashton felt England's performance was an improvement on their display against Argentina but insisted they can still make significant strides.
"I think there's a least 50% more to come from us. We can cut out the penalties and cut out all the turnovers. There's at least 50% more to come from us," he said.
Ashton took great delight in ending a mini-try drought. Having scored nine in his first nine Tests, Ashton had gone five without a try until today. The Northampton wing streaked clear for his first, which he scored with a trademark swallow dive, and then dotted down for the second from close range.
"I don't know if the management are too happy about the dive. It might not have been at the right time because the game was a bit messy," said Ashton. "There are other things to concentrate on though. But definitely I'm glad to get that try and even more to get a second."
Ashton took a blow to the elbow as he scored the second but he is confident of being given the all-clear.
"My arm got a bit hyper-extended when the guy came through on the opposite side," said Ashton. "I don't think it was a cheap shot. He was just trying to stop the try. It's fine but a bit sore."
