Article written by Laura Lammasniemi white slavery’ to trafficking

In England, the campaigns against white slavery culminated in a rally in Hyde Park, London, in August 1885, when tens of thousands of people demanded that white slavery be outlawed and the age of consent for girls be raised. The measure that was adopted first was the Criminal Law Amendment Act (CLAA) 1885.

The CLAA 1885 was significant for creating a definition of a trafficked girl – the involuntary prostitute. It made it an offence to procure “any girl or woman under twenty-one years of age, not being a common prostitute, or of known immoral character, to have unlawful carnal connexion”. By including the words “not being a common prostitute, or of known immoral character”, the section excluded from the scope of the law not only those working in prostitution but also any women considered promiscuous or not respectable. 

The CLAA also outlawed domestic and international trafficking by making it an offence to procure a woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution abroad or within the UK. However, if a woman was already living in a brothel, she could not be procured or trafficked, reinforcing the division between ‘prostitutes’ and victims. In a number of ways, then, the act created a distinction between virtuous virgins who embodied social purity, and the Other – the “common and immoral prostitute”. The lives of all women who would today be described as migrants and sex workers came under deeper control with every new legal intervention. The legislation did not, and could not, provide protection against the exploitation of women within prostitution and otherwise, as it focused on procurement and immigration rather than continuing acts of exploitation. It framed white slavery as a matter of criminal or immigration law, but did not acknowledge the wider structural factors behind female poverty and inequality – much like present-day anti-trafficking initiatives. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

Article written by the Caribbean council, 

China is continuing to increase and diversify its investments in the Caribbean region.

Confirming trends forecast in recent reports from the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Chinese companies have recently announced major diversified investments in Jamaica and St Lucia.

On July 19 the Jamaican government announced that the Alpart alumina refinery in Jamaica had been sold for US$299m to the Chinese state owned entity the Jiuquan Iron and Steel Company (JISCo) owned by the Jersey-registered but Moscow-operated industrial giant, US Rusal.

According to Jamaica’s Transport and Mining Minister, Mike Henry, JISCo is expected to complete the full takeover of Alpart by November this year and will then begin a first phase of investment of around US$220m in modifying and upgrading the alumina plant to reduce costs and enhance production. Work permits are expected to be issued for around 200 Chinese technicians to achieve this and to undertake other activities.

The Minister also said that the company plans to invest another US$1.5bn to establish an industrial zone co-located with the alumina facility, which is located at Nain, St Elizabeth in the south of Jamaica. The project is expected over a four-year period to create over 3,000 new jobs.

Reflecting the political sensitivity of the continuing increase in the number of Chinese workers on the island, Mr Henry said that JISCo has been asked to provide details of the required job qualifications to ensure that “no Jamaican who is qualified for these…is left out.” He also confirmed that the company would be employing the existing Alpart staff, recruiting most former and available employees and creating around 700 new jobs from the latter part of 2016. He said that the company will be “paying great attention” to protecting the environment. Alpart had been closed from 2009 to 2015.

Rusal acquired a 65% stake in Alpart in 2007 as part of its merger with the alumina assets of Glencore, and acquired the remaining 35% stake in 2011. Alpart, which uses its own local bauxite production as feedstock, was previously reported to have an annual production capacity of 1.65m tonnes of cell-grade alumina.

The acquisition makes JISCo one of the top 10 producers of aluminium in China. The company was established in 1958 as a large-scale iron and steel producer but is now diversified into other areas of heavy engineering and power generation.

The investment is a sign of increasing Chinese interest in Jamaica as an economic base and follows from a wide range of other Chinese projects underway or being discussed.

In July, Jamaica announced that it had decided to use Chinese concessional loans to upgrade the road network on the island. Speaking at a press conference, the Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, said that US$384m in loan funding would come from China’s Exim Bank to construct a new road network in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the country, including in the neglected parish of St Thomas. The Jamaican government said it will raise an additional US$57m of the overall funding required.

Earlier this year the Chinese-built and financed US$730m North-South Highway opened, connecting Kingston to Ocho Rios and reducing coast-to-coast transit time to about an hour. The project gives the China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), which built the highway, a 50-year concession to recover its costs from tolls. The company also received land alongside the highway to develop for residential and commercial use.

At the time the Vice President of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), Ziyu Sun, which owns CHEC, said that it will begin the construction of its regional headquarters in New Kingston later this year. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

Scientists have made a major step forward to creating life in the laboratory without using sperm or eggs. Two different kinds of stem cells were combined in a dish - and they grew into an early form of embryo.

Creating embryos from stem cells would create an unlimited supply of identical embryos, which would be useful for medical research.

The development is hoped to shed light on one of the biggest causes of infertility - embryos failing to implant in the womb.

It will also be useful for testing the effects of new medical treatments. Researchers say that the technique - carried out in mice - could result in a mouse being created without using sperm or eggs within three years.

But experts warn that if the technique could be replicated in people, it may lead to the creation of an army of human clones.

It could take as long as two decades before the technique is likely to be perfected to create human embryos out of stem cells, the experts warned.

How does the technology work? 

Researchers combined two different types of embryonic stem cells from mice. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

Hantavirus infection can be a severe and sometimes fatal disease. It was first recognized in 1993 in the four corners region of the United States. 

The risk of exposure is associated with wild rodent contact, such as deer mice. Early symptoms include fever, aches, and gastrointestinal upset. Four to 10 days after early phase, respiratory signs can occur, including shortness of breath and pulmonary edema.

Arizona will usually see an average of 3 to 5 cases of Hantavirus a year. This number can increase depending on the rodent populations and a number of exposures to individuals.

Arizona 5 year median: 4 cases

Transmission 
Transmission occurs when people inhale infected viral droplets from rodent urine, droppings, or nesting material. Although rare, bites from an infected rodent can also spread Hantavirus. Incubation is typically 2 weeks, ranging from 1-6 weeks.

Isolation Precautions 
Standard precautions are recommended in healthcare settings.

Prevention for Patients 

• Wear mask and gloves when cleaning up rodent waste material
• Do not sweep up droppings, use wet disinfectant (1:10) bleach solution
• Seal holes in and around homes so rodents cannot enter
• Store food in rodent-proof containers.

Public Health Actions 
Environmental partners should be notified to do an assessment of the home.

Public health will conduct an epidemiological investigation on a case or suspect case. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

The arrival records for tens of thousands of immigrants from the Windrush generation have been found in the National Archives. The find strengthen the cases for those trying to prove they are British citizens who were being told they had to leave the UK.

The ledger, found after an investigation by the Financial Times, shows arrivals at ports until 1960 with more than 85,000 people arriving from Caribbean countries. These include citizens who arrived from the Caribbean on Empire Windrush in 1948 - it was the ship's name that would come to define the generation.

The information, compiled by the Board of Trade, could proof vital in helping those under threat claim UK citizenship.

The Home Office destroyed its cache of landing slips eight years ago, in a bid to up data protection. But the department since rejected applications for UK citizenship because of a lack of evidence to support their arrival date claims.

The move came despite staff warnings that the move would make it harder to check the records of older Caribbean-born residents experiencing residency difficulties, it was claimed.

The revelations come after Prime Minister Theresa May issued her second grovelling apology in two days to the Caribbean migrants threatened with deportation. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->

Black people in today’s society use negtive terms that are subject to affect people and infect damage to people who are of normal society that aims the wrong perspective that aims the wrong progression that is founded within its purpose of culture that strikes from a ethical white formal history that they call black people the N............... word, this describes negro in a negative way, this has affected my life and people who have lost life’s within there family at a young age, it builds a wall that drags black people down. 

It’s like we are a culture that has no control and acts like wolfs calling each other a N............word in the negative term to negro, its kills black people and aims us in some dumb frame of being like a animal from some next species, 

mixed race people use that term N............ word as it’s describes there other half of culture from there white side as they might subject them self more to there white side from there black culture within there black side which make them different from a true full black culture which that word that describes us in a negative term based on being full black, in England we don’t use that term in music, 

interviews or any other form of speech, as it is used from America it affects black culture here in England from there term describing us as the word N...............word that describes negro in a negative way. White people laugh at black people describing them self in that form all the time as they invented that word for the skin of black people.

 It’s the worst concept in history that we describe our self under that form of description. White people don’t describe them self as a racial word to each other even if they fight each other or kill each other, it brings more friction between black people to kill each other using that term. It’s become as word that is basic to something that is good, 

it’s the most dumb element of human history that strikes like thunder in the middle of the night. It’s death to poor black countries that are lowered because of these rich rap Americans using words they feel is ok. Using people names when they think it’s ok because they have money in the bank.
