Caring for Trafficked Persons: Guidance for Health Providers Facilitator's Guide
Feb 19 2013
Download right click "save as"
For health-care providers, trafficking in persons is best understood as a serious health risk because as with other forms of violence, it is associated with physical and psychological harm. Health providers may come into contact with victims of trafficking at different stages of the trafficking process and at different stages of their recovery. The informed and attentive health-care provider can play an important role in assisting and treating individuals who may have suffered repeated abuse. For health practitioners, diagnosing and treating trafficked persons can pose a range of new challenges related to care provision. In 2012, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Gender Violence & Health Centre of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) developed a training package based on the handbook Caring for Trafficked Persons: Guidance for Health Providers. Published in 2009, the handbook combines research, field experience and good practice into a tool for those who provide health services to trafficked persons, whether identified victims or populations which may include unidentified victims or other exploited persons. TheCaring for Trafficked Persons Facilitator's Guide and accompanying materials have been developed for individuals who wish to carry out training to help a concerned health provider understand the phenomenon of human trafficking, recognize some of the associated health problems and consider safe and appropriate approaches to providing health care for trafficked persons. The training is designed for all types and levels of health providers, particularly those actively providing services.

China and India are in the vanguard of a wave of urban expansion that is restoring the global prominence that Asia enjoyed before the European and North American industrial revolution. By 2025, nearly 2.5 billion Asians will live in cities, accounting for almost 54 percent of the world's urban population. India and China alone will account for more than 62 percent of Asian urban population growth and 40 percent of global urban population growth from 2005 to 2025.
In 1950, India was a more urban nation than China (17 percent of the population lived in cities, compared with China's 13 percent). But from 1950 to 2005, China urbanized far more rapidly than India, to an urbanization rate of 41 percent, compared with 29 percent in India. New research from the McKinsey Global Institute1 1.
See India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth and Preparing for China's urban billion, both available at mckinsey.com/mgi.
expects this pattern to continue, with China forecast to add 400 million to its urban population, which will account for 64 percent of the total population by 2025, and India to add 215 million to its cities, whose populations will account for 38 percent of the total in 2025.
Never before in history have two of the largest nations (in terms of population) urbanized at the same time, and at such a pace. This process will drive fundamental shifts—in both countries—which will have significant consequences for the world economy and offer exciting new opportunities for investors.
In India, urban per capita GDP is projected to grow at a rate of 6 percent a year from 2005 to 2025, while China will see growth of 7.3 percent. The number of urban households with true discretionary-spending power in India could increase sevenfold, to 89 million households, in 2025. In China, there are 55 million middle-class households today. That number could more than quadruple to nearly 280 million in 2025, to account for more than three-quarters of all China's urban households. For businesses, the significant increase in per capita urban incomes and middle-income households offers the potential of vibrant new markets to serve.
So what markets are likely to benefit the most from these trends? In India, by 2025, the largest markets will be transportation and communications, food, and health care, followed by housing and utilities, recreation, and education. Even India's slower-growing spending categories will represent significant opportunities for businesses because these markets will still be growing rapidly in comparison with their counterparts in other areas of the world. In China's cities, the fastest-growing categories are likely to be transportation and communications, housing and utilities, personal products, health care, and recreation and education.
In addition, in both China and India, urban infrastructure markets will be massive. For example, from 2005 to 2025, India will need to add 700 million to 900 million square meters of floor space a year; in China, the required numbers could be 1,600 million to 1,900 million square meters. During the same period, India will need to add at least 350 to 400 kilometers of metropolitan railways and subways annually, while the corresponding number in China will be closer to 1,000 kilometers.
There is little doubt about the scale of the new markets in China and India unleashed by the pace and scale of their urbanization. But businesses still need to be able to serve these markets in practical terms. The way cities are run—and the productivity that results—is a major factor for companies. Here, China is in much better shape than India. While India has barely paid attention to its urban transformation, China has developed a set of internally consistent practices across every element of the urbanization operating model: funding, governance, planning, sectoral policies, and the shape, or pattern, of urbanization, both across the nation as a whole and within cities themselves.
India has underinvested in its cities; China has invested ahead of demand and given its cities the freedom to raise substantial investment resources by monetizing land assets and retaining a 25 percent share of value-added taxes. While India spends $17 per capita on capital investments in urban infrastructure annually, China spends $116. India has devolved little real power and accountability to its cities, but China's major cities enjoy the same status as provinces and have powerful political appointees as mayors. While India's urban-planning system has failed to address competing demands for space, China has a mature urban-planning regime (emphasizing the systematic development of run-down areas) consistent with long-range plans for land use, housing, and transportation.
The starkest contrast between the two countries is that China has embraced and shaped urbanization, while India is still waking up to its urban reality and the opportunities that its cities offer for economic and social transformation.
However, if India fixes its urban operating model, it has the potential to reap a demographic dividend from the increase—of around 250 million expected in the next decade—in the working-age population. This dividend is even larger than that in China, which is aging rapidly. By 2025, nearly 28 percent of its inhabitants will be aged 55 or older, compared with only 16 percent in India, whose demographic profile is much more youthful. If India optimizes the productivity of its cities and maximizes their GDP, the economy could add more than 170 million urban workers to its labor force from 2005 to 2025, compared with 50 million in China over the same period. The stakes are high.

Clam, Soft-shell – U.S. Atlantic (ME, MA), Rakes & Shovels
Soft-Shell Clams are found in intertidal mud flats throughout much of the North Atlantic Ocean, and in the US are most abundant in Maine. They reach maturity in one year and usually live about 10 – 12 years.
Little is known about the abundance or fishing levels on Soft-Shell Clams. There is a size limit of 2 inches for Soft-shell Clams with fisheries management delegated to individual municipalities.
Fishermen catch Soft-Shell Clams with hand gears, including rakes and shovels, which are very selective and let them return unwanted species to their habitats with little harm.

Sometimes you just gotta go on a quick hiatus so you can freshen up and get back into the swing
of things, don't ya think?
Anyhow, had an awesome long weekend doing all kinds of things from hanging at the beach to spending
time with my loved ones; it was exactly what I needed. Twirled around in this new bright, coral dress from Hallelu
over the weekend since the weather called for anything light and short. Decided to pair it with this awesome leopard skinny belt I scored over the weekend to give it
an interesting edge. Btw, OMG got the cooooolest bag this weekend too, can't wait to show you guys!
It's a bit worn in but I love it to pieces!!
Ok I gotta run now, I have a magazine shoot in a few hours that I'm soooooo excited about! Details soon!

IPAS is an integrative approach to student success that promotes shared ownership for educational progress among students, faculty, and staff. It encompasses services that help students formulate and advance toward educational goals, including advising, counseling, progress tracking, and academic early alerts. IPAS technologies can contribute in many ways, such as by documenting and tracking students' educational plans, improving data analysis, offering self-service resources that reduce advisor workloads, and triggering interventions based on student behavior or faculty input.

In this article, The University of Maryland Eastern Shore describes actions it took to increase retention and graduation rates for an at-risk student population by using a dashboard that provides actual data as well as targets for key performance indicators specific to admission, retention, and progress toward graduation.
- The EDUCAUSE Quarterly Magazine, Volume 33, Number 4, 2010 largely focuses on the topic of student retention. A few articles of particular interest in this issue include;

This might sound strange, but these brownies actually come out rich and fudgy. They are low fat, high in fiber and protein and no one would know there are beans in them.
I calculated these with a box of Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownies, but I plan on buying reduced sugar to see if it lowers the points and still taste as good. Points may vary depending on which brand you use.

|For this day, I decided I wanted a super laid-back but cool look, no heels for me! I had been dying to
wear this amazing spiked jacket from UNIF so I thought I'd pair it with this pretty, almost ballerina-esque dress by Cameo for that unexpected balance!
Since it was really hot out, my girl Jadene hooked me up with this braid bar around my hair!
(So lucky she was able to come with me; she's my hair/makeup girl/bff)
Totally love how it softens up the jacket a bit… plus it kept me cool during the hot crazy weather!
…. and I was off to Lincoln Center to see the Herve Leger show!

Some companies have moved beyond merely coping with the crisis and are once again actively planning for the long term, according to a survey in the field from September 7th to the 11th.1 1.
We received responses from 1,677 executives, representing all regions, industries, company sizes, and functional specialties.
Over the past 12 months, the respondents to our economic conditions surveys have told us that their companies are cutting costs, reducing capital investments and headcounts, and making plans for weeks or months, not years—all in all, hunkering down to survive the worst economic shock in decades. Now, for the first time in a year, more respondents expect their companies' profits to rise than fall in the near term. Product development and long-term planning are high priorities for many companies, and most are optimistic about their prospects in the longer term.
Overall, the responses indicate that a "new normal" is settling in—for many companies, an environment less comfortable than the one they knew in the pre-crisis world. Most are still cutting costs, and a third of all respondents say that their companies are in crisis. What's more, executives remain skeptical about the economic health of their countries; a majority say that governments should continue supporting economies in the near term.
In the longer run, many executives expect the globalization of financial and other markets to resume after slowing notably in 2009. They also foresee additional significant changes in their industries and economies over the next five years, including a stronger government role in both. Nearly three-quarters of the executives expect their companies to be in a stronger position in five years than they were before the crisis. The executives also think that their industries will be more consolidated and innovative—but will grow more slowly.
After reaching a nadir in January, the expectations of respondents for corporate profits and their national economies turned sharply higher in June (Exhibit 1; see also Exhibit 3). Since then, these expectations have risen strongly and consistently, in tandem with stock markets.
Differences in the hopefulness of executives are striking on the regional level, however. The crisis started in the United States, and executives in North America have consistently indicated that it will end sooner than executives elsewhere expect. Those in the eurozone have consistently been gloomiest about their economic situation and outlook.2 2.
For example, see "Economic Conditions Snapshot March 2009: McKinsey Global Survey Results" and "Economic Conditions Snapshot, June 2009: McKinsey Global Survey Results," mckinseyquarterly.com.
But the pattern for expectations is essentially the same in all regions, adding to the evidence from our surveys3 3.
"Economic Conditions Snapshot, June 2009: McKinsey Global Survey Results," mckinseyquarterly.com, June 2009; and "Economic and hiring outlook, First Quarter 2008: A McKinsey Global Survey," mckinseyquarterly.com, April 2008.
and many other sources that even the present crisis hasn't fundamentally disconnected the world's economies.
Nineteen percent of respondents around the world—and 28 percent of those in Asia's developed economies—say that an economic upturn has already begun. Each economic conditions survey since March has shown an increase in the hopes of executives for their national economies. As stock markets continued to climb over the summer, expectations for these economies rose quickly, too, though from a very low base. And in the past six weeks, expectations have risen markedly: 40 percent of the respondents now think GDP will rise in 2009 (compared with 26 percent six weeks ago), and 13 percent expect pre-September 2008 GDP levels to return in 2010.
Executives in China are no likelier than others to say that an upturn has already begun, but they are particularly hopeful about their own country's prospects: 82 percent expect its GDP to increase in 2009, and 30 percent expect its GDP to regain pre-crisis levels in 2010.
But a majority of the executives don't expect GDP to rise soon, and the responses also suggest other indicators of economic anxiety: 54 percent, for example, say that governments should scale back—but not stop—their support for economies. It's particularly notable that this support for government action doesn't vary by industry or by whether a respondent's company is currently in crisis, indicating that the economic anxiety of executives goes beyond any immediate need for help for their own companies. This position is consistent with the executives' overall positive views, reported in past surveys, of the role government has played so far in the crisis.4 4.
Most notably, "Economic Conditions Snapshot, February 2009: McKinsey Global Survey Results," mckinseyquarterly.com, February 2009.
The anxiety of the executives is also highlighted by the fact that a plurality—42 percent—of them still think "battered but resilient" is the best description of the economy over the next several months. This finding suggests that the respondents expect a long, slow recovery. The next most frequently chosen description (31 percent) of the economy is even less hopeful: "stalled globalization." Only 20 percent expect a fairly quick recovery. Executives say that their views are most influenced by the GDP growth rates of their countries. Beyond that, executives with different outlooks are influenced by very different indicators: those who foresee a quick recovery, for instance, are likelier to focus on consumption, others on unemployment (Exhibit 2).
Many executives are nonetheless hopeful about their companies on several fronts. Expectations for profits are significantly brighter than they were six weeks ago, and expectations for customer demand are notably brighter. The share expecting that their companies will increase the size of the workforce over the next six months has risen to 26 percent, equaling—for the first time in a year—the share that expect it to decline (Exhibit 3).
As has been true throughout the crisis, large public companies are much likelier to decrease the size of their workforce than small private ones—although these two kinds of companies don't have different expectations for customer demand or profits.
Nearly two-thirds of all respondents say that their companies aren't currently in crisis. But 45 percent of the respondents from manufacturers say that they are, compared, for example, with 28 percent of the respondents from financial-services companies. Respondents from manufacturers are likelier than those from companies in other industries—particularly service industries—to say that their companies are decreasing the size of the workforce and significantly less likely to expect a higher profit boost than respondents in any other industry. In the need to seek funding or the ability to get it, the differences between manufacturers and companies in other industries are minimal, and respondents from all industries have very similar expectations for their prospects five years from now. Manufacturers may just be recovering more slowly.
The top current priorities of companies are a mix of short- and long-term moves, including cutting costs, developing new products, and working to ensure that organizations are flexible enough to respond to changing economic conditions (Exhibit 4). Although three-quarters of the respondents' companies are cutting costs and most will continue to do so, fewer than half identify cost cutting as a top priority. Equal shares report that their companies are restructuring to position themselves for growth and to reduce costs.
Respondents from almost three-quarters of the companies expect them to be in a stronger competitive position five years from now than they were before September 2008. Respondents who expect their companies to be stronger in the long term are likelier than others to say that they are focusing on flexibility, new products, and long-term planning and that their industries will consolidate. One source of competitive advantage may therefore be the elimination of weaker competitors. These respondents are also likelier than others to expect their industries to become more innovative. Indeed, innovation as a response to the crisis is a consistent theme of this survey, and more than half of all respondents say that innovation is more important to growth than it was before the crisis. Interestingly, this is consistent with a finding from January, its low point, when executives said that governments could be most helpful to industries by supporting innovation.
More broadly, even though the crisis has slowed many trends related to globalization and raised many questions about the value of increasing economic integration, economies clearly are still more linked than not, and most respondents to this survey expect the links to increase—along with the role of government.
Fears that countries will restrict international trade seem to have receded in the past six months: 42 percent of respondents now expect it to rise in the long term, compared with just 16 percent half a year ago.
Executives are far more hopeful that globalization will intensify than they were at the low point of the crisis. Five years from now, a much larger share of executives expect more integrated financial markets and more extensive global operations and international trade than expect the opposite (Exhibit 5). Forty-nine percent of respondents now expect greater financial-market integration; when we asked a similar question, in March 2009, only 35 percent did.
But these hopes are tempered too: there is no single area of globalization that a majority of executives expects will intensify. Furthermore, 44 percent believe that the commitment to free-market economics will be lower than it was before the crisis, though most expect little social or political backlash against the free-market system.
Although just under half of all respondents expect tighter credit at the national level over the next five years, less than 10 percent expect sales to fall because consumers or businesses can't get credit.
At the national level, majorities of executives expect that five years from now, governments will be more involved in the economy as a whole and that the financial sector will continue to see increased regulatory constraints. Just under half also expect tighter credit and a decreased rate of GDP growth. A slim majority of executives expect consolidation in their industries; many also foresee more extensive innovation and slower growth in their industries (Exhibit 6).
Most companies are not in crisis: they're managing in a new normal, with an enlarged role for government and lower long-term growth expectations.
Innovation is more important than ever; the companies that have the highest hopes for their own futures are likeliest to be focusing on it.
January was the month when executives expressed the direst views about the economy. They now look forward to economic growth, but few expect a quick, full recovery.
Executives indicate that the past year has slowed but not stopped globalization—and that skepticism about the value of free markets will continue as well.
February 2009—Executives view their economies as bad but, in a change from recent months, do not see them getting much worse. Government actions have helped, many say. Companies are hanging on, and many are taking long-term actions to cope with economic turmoil.more
March 2009—Executives forecast ongoing economic gloom, but, for the second survey in a row, the percentage of the respondents who think the situation is getting worse hasn't increased. Many say their corporate-management team is doing a good job in the crisis. more
June 2009—Executives have become notably more optimistic about their companies' and their countries' economic prospects since mid-April—but the outlook was so poor then that optimism must be tempered. more

"Very satisfactory"
By Farmer from rural NH
Directions were ok, a little over-simplified, so take your time and make sure you understand how everything has to go before drilling holes etc. Four screws were missing . Blinds look great, and move up and down easily with the long extension pole. Good value for the cost.View this product

- Eastwood 7-Piece Hammer & Dolly Set
Eastwood 7-Piece Hammer & Dolly Set
Item #11979 Brand: Eastwood
Hammers include:
- Shrinking/Skinning Hammer
- Cross Chisel Curved
- Pick
- Toe Block
- Heel Block
- General Purpose
- Light Dinging Spoon
About Eastwood 7-Piece Hammer & Dolly Set
These hammers are powerful auto body tools made from high carbon steel, and are precision balanced for optimum impact. Each head is precision-machined, polished, hardened and heat-treated for a lifetime of service and reliability. Strong fiberglass handles with thick rubber grips add unmatched durability.
The three dollies have been designed to work on almost every surface angle and contour. Each is hardened and hand-ground, then tumble-polished, for a smooth forming surface. The dinging spoon is also heat-treated and hand-ground for a straight and level hammering surface.
- Pick Hammer – Blunt point for raising low points and finessing character lines. Smooth, general-finishing face.
- Cross-Chisel Curved Hammer – Curved chisel head provides access to tight inside corners. Smooth, convex face for general finishing.
- Shrinking/Skinning Hammer – Cross-hatched face for shrinking work on large, flatter surfaces. Skinning head for installing door skins, working high crown areas and character lines.
- Dinging Spoon – Offset handle and sharp edges for accessing sharp ridges and lines. DO NOT use as a pry tool.
- Heel Dolly – Works well on larger curved surfaces and sharp inside corners.
- Toe Dolly – For smoothing larger expanses. Sharp edges for corner work, and straight edges for working flanges. Thin for access in tight areas.
- General-Purpose Dolly – Cantilevered edges for access to deeply recessed corners and lips. Integral hand-hold and mass are ideal for back-up on heavier hammer strikes.
Aside from auto body repair and metal work, this hammer and dolly set can be also used for metal forming and shaping, general-purpose body repair, and custom fabrication.
3 Hammers: shrinking/skinning, cross chisel curved, pick. 4 Dollies: toe block, heel block, general purpose, light dinging spoon
Safety / Instructions
Always wear eye and skin protection when working with metal.

MMA Headgear
Sparring in Muay Thai, MMA and Boxing requires head protection. Beyond any other piece of protective equipment, headgear is the most important for your long-term health and well-being. Skimp here and risk serious brain trauma. Feeling like you're well protected during sparring is a key factor in maintaining proper focus and ensuring you're training to the best of your ability. Poor-quality headgear will fit poorly and shift around as you bob, weave, and take blows, requiring constant adjustments mid-round. Often, the wearer ends up fighting the headgear just as much as his or her sparring partner. This has led to individuals actually taking their headgear off, choosing to risk serious head injury over the discomfort of wearing inferior-quality protection. Avoid the pitfalls of cheaply constructed headgear by shopping with MMA Industries. Choose from our section of high-quality headgear and rest assured that you are buying the best. Like all combat sports equipment, there are different options for different situations. At MMA Industries we carry a diverse selection of headgear allowing you to choose which one is right for you based on how much of you face and head you want to protect. Head protection goes beyond the striking arts. For wrestlers, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, and submission grapplers, we have chosen the highest-quality headgear to protect your ears from the dreaded aural hematoma, AKA "cauliflower ear." You may think it looks cool, but your girlfriend/boyfriend probably doesn't. You may not need wrestling headgear all the time, but trust us; proper treatment for cauliflower ear is no fun. If having your ears drained with a large gauge needle and having a button sewed onto your ear to keep it from refilling with fluid doesn't sound like your idea of a good time, grab a set of headgear. Protect your brain and stay pretty, shop for all of your combat sports headgear needs here and MMA Industries!

Christian Keyes readies for the release of the new romantic comedy Black Coffee.
Christian portrays the somewhat troublesome character of Julian, cousin and friend to Robert, portrayed by Darrin Dewitt Henson.
"I play Julian, the cousin of Darrin Henson's character," Christian said. "He loses his job and his girlfriend and as his friend and a family member, I gotta try and coach him through all of that stuff. I try to motivate him to start his own business because in the film, I'm an entrepreneur. He ends up meeting an amazing new woman. I'm kinda like comic relief…so I really enjoyed my part."
While some may call Christian's character the voice of reason, others might label him a meddling troublemaker. "I'm both," Christian said. "I try to get him to set his girlfriend's clothes on fire after she breaks up with him."
Sometimes art imitates life. If you wonder if Christian has ever found himself in a situation like that of Darrin's character, he offers a cautious "yes" and "no." "Being fired, thankfully no," he said, "but having an unexpected breakup…yes!"
When Christian initially set his sights on show business, he thought he would use his singing voice to top the charts. "I thought singing was gonna be my way in," he said. "Shows what I know." Interestingly enough, Christian wrote a song, titled, "Cook My Dinner Naked."
Black Coffee also stars Erica Hubbard (BET's "Let's Stay Together"), Lamman Rucker (Why Did I Get Married), and Gabrielle Dennis (BET's "The Game").
Black Coffee opens in theatres January 10. Watch the trailer below.

Do shots make you nervous? You're not alone. Lots of people dread them because they have a very real fear of needles. So next time your doc asks you to roll up your sleeve, try these tips:
Sometimes people feel lightheaded or faint after getting a shot. If you feel funny, sit or lie down and rest for 15 minutes.
Don't hesitate to tell the doctor or nurse that you're nervous before getting the shot. Medical professionals are used to people who fear shots and they'll be able to help you relax.

French Revolution
The Revolution was not at the beginning a movement against the Church or clergy of France. The rank and file of the clergy were in favour of increasing the franchise of the Third Estate as representative of the people. However, no sooner had the Constituent Assembly established itself than the old Gallican contention for the ascendancy of the State above the Church asserted itself. As the need of money to carry on the Revolution became acute, it seemed advisable to the Assembly to stop the allowance for the salaries of the clergy and the upkeep of the clergy, and to seize on Church property and convert much of it to the support of the new regime.
Gradually the spirit created by Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot possessed the leaders in the Assembly, and soon they determined to reconstitute the clergy on a new basis by what was called the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. This created new dioceses and authorized the voters, whether believers or not, to nominate parish priests and bishops, forbidding the latter to seek confirmation in office from Rome.
The Assembly required all priests to swear to this Constitution. This Pope Pius VI forbade and a slight majority obeyed him. Soon those who would not swear became liable to transportation to Guiana and even to death. Under the Convention (1792 to 1795) which proclaimed the Republic, the Revolution became anti-religious. Catholics were persecuted; many priests were slain; at one time 1,500 were stabbed or clubbed to death in foul prisons. An altar was raised to the Goddess of Reason in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the goddess a woman of low character. Robespierre attempted to establish a cult in honor of the Supreme Being. Out of fear of incensing the people in the provinces, the leaders hesitated to abolish religion or close the churches entirely. This explains the vacillating policy of the revolutionists. They succeeded, however, in driving out of the country nearly 10,000 priests. All this ceased with the advent of Napoleon in 1799, and the Concordat, unsatisfactory though it was, secured for the Church in France well-nigh a century of peace.
