July 20, 2016--New York City-- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the Task Force to Combat Worker Exploitation has directed 1,547 businesses to pay nearly $4 million in back wages and damages to more than 7,500 workers since its inception in July 2015. The Governor also announced several initiatives to improve worker health and safety, including a multi-agency investigation into the exploitation of dry cleaning workers and a coordinated effort to ban harmful chemicals, such as perchlorethylene (PERC), that are commonly used in the industry. Additionally, the state will launch a new $5 million grant program and RFP for non-profit organizations to expand services to help exploited workers. (Don Pollard/Office of the Governor)

Police and partner agencies have been focusing on young people who run away or go missing from home and those that may exploit them during a week of action that began across Greater Manchester on Monday 14 March.
The focus of the campaign during this year’s week of action has been raising awareness around the strong link between child sexual exploitation and children who go missing.
Going missing can mean bunking off school, staying out overnight, or running away from home for a few days or longer. Whatever the context, the reality is that 95% children at risk from child sexual exploitation have gone missing at least once.
GMP Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said: “The statistics speak for themselves – there is a clear correlation between young people at risk of child sexual exploitation and their inclination to run away or go missing.
“More often than not, the young people who do run away do so regularly. This not only places a significant strain on policing but also increases the chances of that person coming to harm.
“Young people are often unaware of the dangers that are posed when they stay away from home without telling anyone and we urge them to keep in touch somehow, whether that’s through a friend, relative or anyone you trust.
“If you have concerns about your child’s whereabouts or don’t know where they are, please contact the police. With our partners in Project Phoenix we are doing all we can to work with these young people to get to the root of the problem, and keep them safe.
“Child sexual exploitation is a horrific crime and we will continue to work hard to both locate and protect those vulnerable to abuse, working with missing children on their return to break the cycle. Officers are patrolling around the clock, and will take robust action to tackle anyone who seeks to exploit these young people.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “Greater Manchester is leading the fight against child sexual exploitation. We’re engaging with local people to raise awareness of the abuse and how to spot the signs, and partner agencies are working together to tackle the issue, bring perpetrators to justice, and provide much-needed support to victims and those at risk, including children who run away or go missing.
“Child sexual exploitation is child sex abuse, plain and simple. We must come down heavily on those who exploit and manipulate vulnerable children for their own sexual pleasure, and arm our young people with the means to keep safe and recognise unhealthy, abusive relationships.”
Paul Maher, Greater Manchester Area Manager at The Children’s Society, which works with children and young people who go missing or are at risk of going missing, said: “Children and young people who go missing are among the most vulnerable children in our society.
“Some may be running from neglect and abuse, family breakdown or drug and alcohol misuse by their parents - while others go missing under the influence of predatory adults seeking to exploit them.
“Whatever the reason for them going missing, we know these children are at particular risk of being sexually exploited or falling victim to other types of harm. Our research has shown that around a quarter are either hurt or harmed in some way.
“That is why it is vital they receive more support at an early stage to help address the issues that cause them to go missing and protect them from the risks of sexual exploitation or becoming a victim of other crimes.”
The week of activity is the latest from Project Phoenix’s ‘It’s Not Okay’ campaign, and will be publicising resources and support related to child sexual exploitation.
‘It’s Not Okay’ was created as part of Project Phoenix, the Greater Manchester response to tackling child sexual exploitation - a collaboration of public and third sector partners throughout Greater Manchester working together to protect young people.
Since the campaign launched in September 2014, public awareness and understanding of child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester has increased considerably amongst young people and parents and carers, as well as professionals.
In the 18 months since the launch of the ‘It’s Not Okay’ campaign, Project Phoenix has undertaken substantial work with schools, healthcare providers and support services to ensure that vulnerable young people are helped at every stage - from prevention through to support and rehabilitation.
Regular weeks of awareness-raising have included direct engagement with young people and those who care for them; police targeting and disruption, dedicated days of publicity focusing on key trends and close collaboration across Greater Manchester authorities means that hundreds more young people are being identified, educated and safeguarded than ever before.

A march against the exploitation of and racism toward international students in Australia that the governments (both state and federal) continue to allow to exist. International and Australian students from NSW universities (such as Newcastle, UTS, Macquarie, UNSW and Sydney University) rallied together, marching from Sydney University to UTS and on to NSW Parliament House, asking for the government to intervene and change legislation that allows international students to be taken advantage of.
Some basic rights like abolishing the 20-hour work week limit and providing student travel concessions to international students were demanded in chants and songs. At a deeper level though, the protesters are demanding an end to the systematic racism and exploitation of international students, who are increasingly treated more as a means to profit than as students to educate.

Animals have the right to not be treated as property! Go vegan!
Much water flowed beneath the bridge, as time she rolled and blushes hid
Now memories were gold to treasure from a life of tears and pleasure
Sarah Layne had lived a life of pathways trodden, laughter rife
Offspring, lovers, sorrow too as loved ones passed from old to new
Upon the sandy beach she strolled, recalling exploits fun and bold
The skinny dipping at nineteen, exhuberent the beauty queen
Sex in Ronnie's Gold Cortina, hoping neighbours hadn't seen her
Parties, clubs and plush wine bars, love for tough guys and fast cars
Now with hindsight as a friend, the journey sense right to the end
She saw the errors, judgement calls, naivety had made her fool
Davey Webb with muscles strong who mum had disliked all along
Tears of sorrow, her return, after the beatings and fag burns
Gently now the sea she lapped, with Sarah laughing loudly at
Those awkward post pubescent years, so many stories and such fear
How life ain't fair and that's the truth, as shown within those years of youth
And yet through all the hurdles came, a stronger woman, Sarah Layne
Lovers bite marks, violent bruises, tents and caravans and cruises
Norfolk Broads to Berlin Wall, a wanderlust, she'd heard the call
No man could ever hope to tame her, step aside boy or she'd slay ya
Life is short, let's kick some ass, but someday all things they must pass
The angst of twenty something cost, cancer and a mother lost
Father drank himself into and early grave, she felt so blue
Rebellion was all but drained but dignity once more reclaimed
She found true love and Motherhood, life was cool and she felt good
Forty something, mid life bliss, the knowledge of life's gentle kiss
Calmed, content with what was deemed her lot, half glass full, regretful not
Looking back on all those years, smiling broadly ear to ear
She'd made her choices, broke the mould, embracing life and growing old
Walking on the gentle shoreline, Oregon and feeling fine
Memories now made her stronger, tears of pain and loss no longer
Life makes richer of the soul those folks who understand their goal
Age and wisdom, sweet refrain, the sassy woman, Sarah Layne

The Umoja Village Shantytown was founded on October 23, 2006 in the Liberty City section of Miami, Florida in response to a crisis of gentrification and low-income housing gripping Miami, Florida, considered one of the least affordable cities in the United States.
After months of planning, a group calling itself Take Back the Land seized control of a vacant lot on the corner of 62nd St. and NW 17th Ave. The lot sat vacant for approximately 8 years after low income housing there was demolished by the City of Miami. Take Back the Land erected several tents and then built wood frame shanties in order to provide housing for otherwise homeless people in the area.
Police, City of Miami and Miami-Dade County officials were unable to evict the residents or organizers due to the landmark 1996 Pottinger Settlement. After years of arresting homeless people essentially for being homeless, the Miami ACLU sued the city of Miami, who eventually settled. In the settlement, the city agreed that homeless people could not be arrested if they met three criteria:
1. The individual is homeless;
2. the individual is situated on public land;
3. there are no beds available at homeless shelters in the city;
4. the individual is engaged in "life sustaining conduct," such as eating, sleeping, bathing, "responding to calls of nature," congregating and building "temporary structures" to protect one's self from the elements. (Pottinger Settlement)
Take Back the Land exploited the legal settlement to build a shantytown in Miami, Florida.
By the end of December, Umoja Village housed approximately 50 otherwise homeless people and made the news in the Miami Herald, the Los Angeles Times, Time.com and the New York Times, as well as a number of documentaries and blogs.
Residents ran the Village, voting to build, distribute donations, move in new residents and evict others.
Umoja Village enjoyed broad support in the community, and, therefore, was able to successfully repel numerous attempts by government officials to evict them.
Take Back the Land organizer Max Rameau, of the Center for Pan-African Development, argued that the Umoja Village was not just about gentrification, but was a full "land struggle," in the mold of Brazil's MST, the Landless Workers' Movement and similar movements in South Africa. As an advocate of Pan-Africanism, Rameau asserted black people should control the land in the black community, as manifested by Umoja Village.
The Village itself was built with the help of local white anarchists, operating under the black political leadership of Take Back the Land.
On April 23, 2007, Umoja Village celebrated it's 6 month anniversary by announcing several campaigns, including the replacement of the wood shanties with more durable hexayurts (Autonomous building); building a water well; engaging in local anti-gentrification and pro-housing campaigns; demanding legal rights to the land from the City of Miami; and plans to acquire land and build low-income housing.
On April 26, 2007, on the day the first hexayurts were scheduled to be built, Umoja Village burned to the ground in a mysterious fire. There were no casualties or injuries. Miami police arrested 11 residents and activists for attempting to remain on the land and the City erected a barbed wire fence around the property that same day.
In order to avoid protests, the City offered Take Back the Land the property in order to build low-income housing before reneging on the offer under pressure from local power brokers and lobbyists. (Miami Herald, July 27, 2007)
On October 23, 2007, Take Back the Land announced it identified vacant public and private foreclosed homes and moved families into some of those homes, in a move it calls "liberating" housing. As of February 2008, Take Back the Land had a waiting list of 14 families waiting to move into one of those homes.
In February, Max Rameau released a book detailing the experience. The book is entitled Take Back the Land: Land, Gentrification and the Umoja Village Shantytown.

CBTC ( Communication based train control )
Description :
Le système CBTC permet l'exploitation d'un système de transport en se basant sur la communication continue des trains avec un ordinateur chargé de la gestion du trafic.
Le système CBTC est décrit par une norme internationale IEEE 1474, définie en 1999. D'après cette norme, les principales caractéristiques d'un CBTC sont :
une localisation précise de la position des trains indépendante des circuits de voie ;
une transmission bi-directionnelle haut débit entre les équipements au sol et les trains ;
un système constitué par des ordinateurs (calculateurs de sécurité) situés à la fois au sol et dans les trains, capables de mettre en œuvre des fonctions de protection automatique des trains (en anglais : Automatic Train Protection ou ATP), ainsi que des fonctions optionnelles d'exploitation automatique des trains (communément appelée « pilotage automatique » ou en anglais : Automatic Train Operation ou ATO) et de supervision automatique des trains (en anglais : Automatic Train Supervision ou ATS).
Un ordinateur central gère les convois circulant sur des lignes situées dans sa zone d'action afin d'obtenir une fluidification du trafic et une réduction de l'intervalle de temps entre deux trains aux heures de pointe.
L'ordinateur central échange différentes informations avec un ordinateur situé à bord de chaque train à l'aide du réseau de communication.
Chaque train calcule en temps réel et communique son statut par radio aux équipements du réseau disposés le long des voies. Ce statut comprend, parmi d'autres informations, sa position exacte, sa vitesse, sa direction et sa distance de freinage minimale.
Les systèmes CBTC de dernière génération sont basés sur le concept de canton mobile déformable, évolution technologique du cantonnement. Ces cantons sont constitués de la partie de voie occupée par le train, incluant une marge de sécurité à l'avant et à l'arrière, et de la distance d'arrêt calculée à tout moment. Ils permettent de diminuer la distance de sécurité entre deux trains consécutifs.
Grâce aux systèmes CBTC, la position de chaque train et sa dynamique sont connues de manière plus précise que par les anciens systèmes de signalisation.
Le CBTC permet ainsi, de resserrer l’intervalle entre les rames, en le limitant à moins de 90 secondes, et par conséquent d’augmenter la capacité d’une ligne, et donc de retarder la mise en œuvre de travaux d’infrastructures beaucoup plus lourds à engager. On cherche continuellement à réduire ce temps, par exemple, Alstom optimise les cadences des nouveaux métros de Lille, avec un train toutes les minutes (solution Urbalis Fluence).
Les systèmes CBTC doivent conserver une haute disponibilité grâce à une architecture ne comprenant pas de point de défaillance unique.
Par sécurité, une deuxième technologie de signalisation peut être prévue pour assurer un niveau de service minimal en cas de perte partielle ou totale du système CBTC.
Les CBTC peuvent être employés pour automatiser un système existant ou bien lors de la construction d'un nouveau système de transport…………

● Métro de Lille le VAL.
Le métro de Lille est un système de transport en commun en site propre desservant Lille et son agglomération, dans le département français du Nord. Il a la particularité d'être le premier métro au monde à utiliser la technologie du véhicule automatique léger (VAL), cette technologie étant créée au début des années 1970 au sein de l'Université des sciences et technologies de Lille grâce notamment aux travaux du professeur Robert Gabillard. Le système VAL est ensuite exploité par un consortium mené par Matra qui se charge également des travaux avec le soutien de la communauté urbaine de Lille, alors dirigée par Arthur Notebart. Le métro est finalement inauguré le 25 avril 1983 par le président de la République François Mitterrand…………

According to reports, the construction workers in Dubai are treated very badly. They are poorly paid and treated almost like slaves by having to surrender their passports to employers when they enter the country. They stay in purpose-built 'barracks,' which are often of poor quality with high densites of occupancy.
I just returned from a very brief trip to Dubai as an external examiner for a new masters course --- one of the few perks of being an academic. It is a city of extreme contrasts. Traditional values and lifestyles sit next to ultra-modern technology and aspirations. Very bizarre.

Enrico Caruso’s ascendancy coincided with the dawn of the twentieth century, when the world of opera was moving away from the contrived bel canto (“beautiful singing”) style, with its emphasis on artifice and vibrato, to a verismo (“realism”) approach. The warmth and sincerity of his voice—and personality— shone in this more natural style and set the standard for contemporary greats like Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and José Carreras. Through his exploitation of the nascent phonograph industry, Caruso is also largely responsible for the sweeping interest in opera of the 1910s and ’20s. And for this, Stanley Jackson wrote in his book Caruso, he may never be rivaled, for later tenors could not hope to find themselves in a similarly fortuitous position and thus would most certainly “find it more difficult to win such universal affection as the bubbly, warm-hearted little Neapolitan whose voice soared and sobbed from the first wheezy phonographs to bring a new magic into countless lives.”
Born in Naples, Italy, in 1873, the third of seven children (early sources erroneously state that he was the 18th of 21), Caruso was raised in squalor. His birthplace, according to Jackson, was a “two-storeyed house, flaky with peeling stucco, [accommodating] several families, who shared a solitary cold-water tap on the landing, and like every other dwelling in that locality it lacked indoor sanitation.” As a boy, Caruso received very little formal education; his only training in a social setting came from his church choir, where he displayed a pure voice and a keen memory for songs. More often than not, however, he skipped choir practice to sing with street minstrels for café patrons.
At the age of ten Caruso began working a variety of menial jobs—mechanic, jute weaver—but his passion for singing often led him back to the streets. Eight years later, an aspiring baritone named Eduardo Missiano heard Caruso singing by a local swimming pool. Impressed, Missiano took Caruso to his voice teacher, Guglielmo Vergine. Vergine on hearing Caruso, compared the tenor’s voice to “the wind whistling through the chimney,” Michael Scott recounted in The Great Caruso. Although he disliked Caruso’s Neapolitan café style, flashy gestures, and unrefined and unrestrained vocalizing, Vergine finally agreed to accept Caruso as his student. But “the lessons ended after three years,” John Kobler wrote in American Heritage, “and Caruso’s formal musical training thereafter remained almost as meager as his scholastic education. He could read a score only with difficulty. He played no musical instrument. He sang largely by ear.”
On March 15, 1895, Caruso made his professional debut in L’Amico Francesco, a now-forgotten opera by an amateur composer. He was not an immediate sensation.
For the Record…
Bom Errico Caruso (adopted more formal Enrico for stage), February 27 (some sources say 25), 1873, in Naples, Italy; died of pneumonia and peritonitis in 1921 in Naples; son of Marcellino (a mechanic) and Anna (Baldini) Caruso; married Dorothy Park Benjamin, 1918; children: Gloria; (with Ada Giachetti) Rodolfo, Enrico Jr. Education: Studied voice with Guglielmo Vergine, 1891-94, and Vincenzo Lombardi, 1896-97.
Worked as laborer, including jobs as mechanic and jute weaver, beginning c. 1883; debuted in L’Amico Francesco at Teatro Nuovo, Naples, 1894; expanded repertoire to include La Traviata, Rigoletto, Aida, and Faust, among others; first sang Canio in I Pagliacci, 1896, and Rodolfo in La Bohème, 1897; debuted in La Bohème at La Scala, Milan, 1899; performed internationally, including appearances in Moscow, Buenos Aries, Monte Carlo, and London, beginning in 1899; made first recordings, 1902; debuted in U.S. at Metropolitan Opera, New York City, 1903. Appeared in silent films My Cousin and A Splendid Romance, 1918; subject of fictional film biography The Great Caruso, 1950.
Awards: Order of the Commendatore of the Crown of Italy; Grand Officer of the French Legion of Honor; Order of the Crown Eagle of Prussia; honorary captain of the New York City Police Department.
His vocal range was limited; he often had to transpose the musical score down a halftone since he had trouble in the upper register, especially hitting high C. But impresarios who heard Caruso recognized his innate gift and cast him in significant productions such as Faust, Rigoletto, and La Traviata. With stage experience and brief training with another vocal teacher, Vincenzo Lombardo, the singer made steady progress, refining the natural beauty of his voice.
“Who Has Sent You to Me? God?”
In 1897, studying for the part of Rodolpho in Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème, Caruso went to the composer’s villa to secure Puccini’s consent of his interpretation. As told by author Jackson, after Caruso sang a few measures of the first-act aria, “Che gelida manima,” Puccini “swivelled in his chair and murmured in amazement, ’Who has sent you to me? God?’”
Caruso’s instrument was “a voice of the South, full of warmth, charm, and lusciousness,” described a commentator of the era who was quoted in Howard Greenfeld’s book Caruso. But what truly set Caruso apart—from his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors—was his ability to eliminate the space between singer and listener, to intensify “the emotional effects upon his audience,” testified American Heritage contributor Kobler. “His vocalized feelings, variously spiritual, earthy, carnal, seemed to resonate within the hearer’s body. Rosa Ponselle, the American soprano who made her debut opposite Caruso, called it “a voice that loves you.’”
And his timbre was matched by sheer power; at the height of his career, Caruso gave concerts in venues as large as New York City’s Yankee Stadium without microphones and was clearly heard by all. Still, he reached his greatest audience, across both distance and time, through the small, recorded medium of the phonograph. “Few performers deserve . . . recognition more than Caruso,” David Hamilton proclaimed in the New York Times. “[His] records made him the universal model for later generations of tenors, while his reputation played a major role in establishing the phonograph socially and economically.”
Recording Pioneer
Caruso made his first recording on April 11, 1902, in a hotel suite in Milan, Italy. Over the remaining 19 years of his life he made an additional 488 recordings, almost all for the Victor label. He earned more than two million dollars from recording alone, the company almost twice that. But, most important, his recordings brought grand opera to the uninitiated. Millions cried along with his version of Canio’s sobbing “Vesti la giubba,” from/Pagliacci. The development of the American opera audience from a rarefied community at the turn of the century to a diverse populace in modern times can be directly attributed to Caruso’s recordings.
But Caruso’s allure was not solely the result of his singing. “Quick to laughter and to tears, amorous, buffoonish,... speaking a comically fractured English, round and paunchy, Caruso presented an image that appealed enormously to multitudes of ordinary Americans,” Kobler pointed out. Indeed, his offstage behavior was as interesting to the public as that of his onstage personas. He had numerous affairs with women, which often ended in court. He had an 11-year relationship, beginning in 1897, with soprano Ada Giachetti, who had left her husband and son for the much younger tenor. She bore Caruso two sons, then ran off with the family chauffeur. Three years later, Giachetti sued Caruso for attempting to damage her career and for theft of her jewelry. The suit was eventually dismissed.
Offstage Shenanigans
Caruso was not exonerated, however, in what became known as the “Monkey House Case.” On November 16, 1906, Caruso went to the Monkey House in the Central Park Zoo, one of his favorite retreats in his adopted hometown of New York City. There a young woman accused him of pinching her bottom. A policeman on the scene immediately took Caruso—confused and sobbing—to jail. The woman failed to appear at the consequent trial, and police were unable to produce any witnesses other than the arresting officer, who turned out to have been best man at the accuser’s wedding. The judge found Caruso guilty of disorderly conduct and fined him ten dollars. The public, for its part, though initially unsure of Caruso’s innocence, soon returned to its thunderous approval of his performances.
Despite these episodes, Caruso’s life outside the theater was not entirely tumultuous. His marriage to Dorothy Park Benjamin in 1918 was happy and secure. His celebrated earnings allowed him to collect art, stamps, and coins. His clothing and furnishings were luxurious. He ate with gusto. And he was extremely generous. A gifted caricaturist, Caruso often gave drawings away. He would fill his pockets with gold coins and shower stagehands with them at the end of Christmastime productions. He also supported many family members, gave numerous charity concerts, and helped raise millions of dollars for the Allied cause during World War I. This remarkable man even paid his taxes early. “If I wait, something might happen to me, then it would be hard to collect,” Caruso reasoned, as recounted by Kobler. “Now I pay, then if something happen to me the money belongs to the United States, and that is good.”
Caruso’s expansive approach to life, however, rendered his own short. Constant recording and performance demands and the singer’s unchecked appetites took their toll on his health; he died in Naples, in 1921, from pneumonia and peritonitis. He was 48 years old. “Caruso may have been a greater master of comedy than tragedy,” Great Caruso author Scott wrote, “yet there was no levity in his approach to his art, for as each year passed and he became an ever more celebrated singer, his fame—ably demonstrated by frequent new issues of ever improving records—made increasing demands of him. In those last years he rode a tiger.”

July 20, 2016--New York City-- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the Task Force to Combat Worker Exploitation has directed 1,547 businesses to pay nearly $4 million in back wages and damages to more than 7,500 workers since its inception in July 2015. The Governor also announced several initiatives to improve worker health and safety, including a multi-agency investigation into the exploitation of dry cleaning workers and a coordinated effort to ban harmful chemicals, such as perchlorethylene (PERC), that are commonly used in the industry. Additionally, the state will launch a new $5 million grant program and RFP for non-profit organizations to expand services to help exploited workers. (Don Pollard/Office of the Governor)
A march against the exploitation of and racism toward international students in Australia that the governments (both state and federal) continue to allow to exist. International and Australian students from NSW universities (such as Newcastle, UTS, Macquarie, UNSW and Sydney University) rallied together, marching from Sydney University to UTS and on to NSW Parliament House, asking for the government to intervene and change legislation that allows international students to be taken advantage of.
Some basic rights like abolishing the 20-hour work week limit and providing student travel concessions to international students were demanded in chants and songs. At a deeper level though, the protesters are demanding an end to the systematic racism and exploitation of international students, who are increasingly treated more as a means to profit than as students to educate.
While some "good" things may come from cow's milk: (pleasure, nutrients, convenience...), the bad outweighs the good: violence, slavery, exploitation, and killing. We can get pleasure and nutrition from non-violent sources. We can thrive as vegans. So why not be vegan? To harm animals, not because we have to, but because we enjoy it or are used to doing it is wrong. Most people would agree that unnecessary harm to sentient beings is wrong and yet, at the same time, participate in the very thing they are against, by consuming animal products.
Think clearly! Go Vegan!
