Financial Expressions
By Frank Beardsley
2004-12-4
Now,Words and Their Stories,a VOA Special English Program about American expressions.I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some financial words and expressions used in business and the stock market.
Our first expression is "in the red".It is another way of saying that a business is losing money.In the past,numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink to show a loss.A business magazine recently published a report about a television company.The report said the company was still in the red,but was able to cut its loss from the year before.
A profit by a business is written in black numbers.So a company that is "in the black" is making money.An international news service reported that a private health insurer in Australia announced it was back in the black with its first profit in three years.
Another financial expression is "run on the bank".That is what happens when many people try to withdraw all their money from a bank.A run on the bank usually happens when people believe there is danger,a bank may fail or close.Newspaper reports about a banking crisis in Russia used that expression.They said the government acted because of fears that the crisis would cause a run on the banks.
"When a run on the banks was starting,there was not much they could do." said a banking expert.
"Day trading" is a new expression about a system that lets investors trade directly on an electronic market system.The system is known as NASDAQ,short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation.It was the first completely computerized stock market.It sells stocks of companies not listed on any stock exchange.Many high technology companies are listed on it.
Day trading companies provide a desk and a computer system to an investor who wants to trade.Individuals must provide fifty thousand dollars or more to the trading company to pay for the stocks they buy.Thousands of other investors do day trading from computers in their homes.A day trader watches stock prices carefully.When he sees a stock rise in price,he uses the computer to buy shares of the stock.If the stock continues to rise in price in the next few minutes,the day trader sells the shares quickly to make a small profit.Then he looks for another stock to buy.If a stock goes down instead of up,he sells it and accepts the loss.The idea is to make a small profit many times during the day.Day traders may buy and sell stocks hundreds of times each day.
Many day traders lose all their money in a week or so.Only about thirty percent succeed in earning enough from their efforts to continue day trading.

Music Teacher in Boston Offers Life Lessons to Young People

Younger members of Studio Heat performing at the release party for the Music Clubhouse's second CD,"Because of You"This is the VOA Special English Education Report.
Twenty-five-year-old Rick Aggeler says he discovered early in life that music is magic.
RICK AGGELER:"Music made me feel like anything was possible."
At the age of seven,a medical condition required him to have a brain operation.It also prevented him from playing sports.So his mother suggested that he learn to play drums instead.
RICK AGGELER:"I started playing drums with Ronit Glick.She was my elementary teacher.I remember just the joy it brought to me.It was my favorite thing.Sixth grade was a new school to me and I had a hard time kind of getting along with all the kids.And Ms.Glick just took me in and I had so much fun at the program.It just felt great all the time."
Rick Aggeler graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston,Massachusetts,in two thousand seven.While there,he volunteered as a music teacher at a youth center in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.
He helped create a small music club within the center.The Music Clubhouse at the Blue Hill Boys and Girls Club quickly grew.
Young people come to the Music Clubhouse after school and during summer break.The club provides a safe environment to learn to play instruments and to perform together in bands.The club even has its own recording studio.
(MUSIC-"Super Hero")
The club has released two albums."Super Hero" is one of the songs from the second album,"Because of You."
Fourteen-year-old Javon Martin performs under the name Yung Fresh.He joined the Music Clubhouse three years ago.
YUNG FRESH:"It has impacted my life in a big way because I never thought I would be doing this.We now give shows.I'm on the radio.People are actually starting to see me as like an artist."
(MUSIC:"Blue Hill Shuffle")
Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter joined the club last year but did not play an instrument.Now,she plays piano and sings in a band.What she likes best,she says,is performing.
AKHEYLAH HUNTER:"We performed in different places like at Berklee College of Music.We go on trips,like we went to the House of Blues and we went on stage and we performed,and it was very fun."
The Music Clubhouse opened three years ago and has served almost five hundred young people.Rick Aggeler says preparing and performing is good for them.
RICK AGGELER:"I can see what it does for them,and it just develops confidence.It's also an escape.A big problem we have in the neighborhood is obviously gangs,and family dynamics.And we have a lot of challenges.We can have those conversations and then they can write,too.They can rap about it and kind of let it out a little bit."
(MUSIC-"Wake Up")
Rick Aggeler says he is happy but not surprised by the results of the Music Clubhouse at the Blue Hill Boys and Girls Club.
RICK AGGELER:"As much fun as I do have drumming and performing live,it's definitely more rewarding and more fun,watching these kids grow up and develop."

Defeat Malaria,or Just Control It?New Polio Vaccine
By VOA
2010-11-2
A Cambodian man purchases malaria medicine This is the VOA Special English Health Report.
Malaria kills about one million people a year and sickens another two hundred fifty million.Most of the deaths are in young children in Africa.Malaria causes twenty percent of childhood deaths in Africa.
People become infected when they are bitten by mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite.
A new study estimates the possibility of ending malaria in countries that have the deadliest form of the disease.Researchers found that this could be possible in most parts of the world within ten to fifteen years.
What it would require,they say,is reducing the spread of malaria by ninety percent from two thousand seven rates.
An international team created mathematical models and maps of areas where the disease is gone or almost gone.Andrew Tatem,an assistant professor at the University of Florida,led the study.Professor Tatem says a number of things have helped countries successfully fight malaria.
ANDREW TATEM:" ...such as relatively low levels of malaria risk to start with,political stability,a good health system and low levels of population movement bringing in infections from elsewhere."
The study says malaria could be eliminated if countries are serious about using proven control measures.These include insecticides and bed nets.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation partly financed the research.The study appears in the Lancet medical journal in a series of reports on eliminating malaria.
Other malaria experts writing in the Lancet expressed concern about giving too much attention to eliminating malaria.They say such a goal could take many years,if it is possible at all.The concern is that resources for controlling malaria could be lost if the money is spent instead on trying to defeat it.
Years of efforts to eliminate another disease,polio,have largely succeeded.Now,the World Health Organization says a new vaccine combination will help in the fight to end polio in countries where it is still found.
That report,based on a study from India,also appears in the Lancet.
There are three kinds of polio virus.Vaccination campaigns normally use vaccines designed to protect against all three types.
But cases of the type two virus have not been seen in years.And the new study confirmed that the type two vaccine reduces the effectiveness of the other vaccines when given together.
To avoid that problem,the new combination contains vaccine only for the type one and type three polio viruses.
