Flagship on Education for All and the Right to education for
Persons with Disabilities: Towards Inclusion
the brochure
The right to education is universal
and must extend to all children, youth, and adults with disabilities.
This right is enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of
the Child (1989) and addressed in several significant, internationally
approved declarations, including the World Declaration for
Education for All (1990), the Standard Rules on the Equalization
of Opportunities for Persons with Disability (1993), the UNESCO
Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action (1994), and the
Dakar Framework for Action (2000).
The goal of the Dakar Framework
for Action is to achieve "education for all" by
2015. The goal of Dakar will only be achieved when all nations
recognize that the universal right to education extends to
individuals with disabilities, and when all nations act upon
their obligation to establish or reform public education systems
that are accessible to, and meet the needs of, individuals
with disabilities.
This obligation on the state
extends to the governments of developing and industrialized
nations, and must engage all government bodies charged with
setting and carrying out public education and international
development assistance programs and priorities.
This Flagship on Education
for All and the Right to education for Persons with Disabilities:
Towards Inclusion, has been established to act as a catalyst
to ensure that the right to education, and the goals of the
Dakar Framework, are realized for individuals with disabilities.
This Flagship has been formed
by an alliance of diverse organizations, including global
disability organizations, international development agencies,
intergovernmental agencies, and experts in the fields of special
and inclusive education from developed and developing nations.
The Flagship welcomes as members all those who share its goals.
The Flagship is only one venue,
and is comprised of just a small number of entities and individuals
working to achieve the goals of Education for All. To be successful,
this Flagship must engage the efforts and resources of other
EFA actors, including donor and lender organizations and government
ministries. This Flagship must also work in partnership with
others involved in the EFA effort, including those whose primary
focus is on such issues as quality teacher preparation and
training, early child development, gender equity, education
in rural areas, education monitoring tools, and other areas
critical to the availability of quality and equitable education
for all.
In all of its work, this Flagship
will stress that mainstream government and non-government
entities need to work directly and in partnership with local,
national, regional, and global organizations that are comprised
of and represent individuals with disabilities and their families.
These "disability" organizations represent diverse
groups with diverse educational needs. Their representatives
must be engaged in the development of national plans of action;
and they must be consulted to ensure that educational facilities,
curricula and materials are appropriate, and include necessary
Our challenge is significant.
According to best estimates of international agencies, we
know the following:
- 98% children with disabilities
in developing countries do NOT attend schools'
- 500,000 children every year
lose some part of their vision due to vitamin A deficiency.
- 41 million babies are born
each year at risk of mental impairment due to insufficient
iodine in their mothers' diets.
- For every child killed in
armed conflict, three are injured and permanently disabled.
40% out of 26,000 persons killed and injured by landmines
every year are children. Over 10 million children are psychologically
traumatised by armed conflicts.
- Child labour and maltreatment
such as corporal punishment, amputation, blinding of detainees,
are responsible for children becoming disabled, and can lead
to mental illness, physical and psychological disabilities,
difficulties in schools or at work, etc. (UNICEF, 2002)
We also know that the vast
majority of individuals with hearing or visual impairments
in developing nations lack basic literacy; that individuals
with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities are treated
with often cruel neglect; and that there is a strong link
between disability and poverty. We also know that all individuals
with disabilities, given the opportunity, can lead meaningful,
productive lives, and contribute to the social and economic
well being of their family and community.
Education and life-long learning
opportunities can and must erase these gaps in economic and
social development that effectively marginalize individuals
with disabilities.
Resources must be mobilized
to create effective educational opportunities that foster
inclusive communities and social justice. The absence of resources
and effective initiatives cannot be seen as consequences of
lack of money, but as a lack of will.
The Flagship on Education for
All and the Right to Education for Persons with Disabilities:
Towards Inclusion, represents a joint effort among UN organisations,
NGOs and donor countries acting together as a catalyst in
the process of achieving Education for All. The Flagship seeks
to unite all partners in its effort to reach out to children,
young people and adults with disabilities, and to promote
solutions that can translate universal rights into inclusive
Recognizing the universal right to education, the Flagship
seeks to unite all EFA partners in their efforts to provide
access to and promoting completion of quality education for
every child, youth, and adult with a disability.
Strategic Objectives:
- to combat discrimination and remove structural barriers
to learning and participation in education
- to promote a broad concept
of education, including essential life skills and life-long
- to contribute to a focus
on the needs of persons with disabilities when resources and
activities address the realisation of EFA goals
In order to reach this goal, the Flagship will:
- Have the full participation
of persons with disabilities and families in the design of
all Flagship activities.
- Promote the full participation
of persons with disabilities and families in the development
of policies and practices related to the education of persons
with disabilities at local,national, regional, and global
- Seek to ensure that all governmental
entities, donors, and NGO's endorse the universal right of
education for all children, youth, and adults with a disability.
- Act as a catalyst to fully
incorporate the Flagship Goal into national plans of action
and regional policies.
- Work in partnership with
all other EFA Flagships to fully endorse and incorporate the
right of educating every person with a disability into their
- Mobilize resources in support
of the Flagship Goal through obtaining commitment of new resources
from national and international entities and leveraging existing
EFA resources.
- Seek to ensure that the EFA
Monitoring Process includes specific quantitative and qualitative
statistics and indicators related to persons with disabilities
and documentation of resources allocated to the implementation
of EFA for these individuals.
- Identify and disseminate
effective practices and stimulate research and studies related
to the Flagship Goal to include such areas as:
- Quality teacher education
- School organization including
adequate and accessible facilities
- Curriculum and pedagogy
- Assistive devices and appropriate
- Promote the right of every
child and youth with a disability to express his/her view
pertaining to his/her education and life skills as defined
by Article 23.1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In 1789 the absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed under the weight of radical social upheaval. What followed was nothing less than an epic transformation of French society; among the many changes was the French Penal Code of 1791, adopted by the Constituent Assembly, influenced by Enlightenment thinking, and therefore staunchly opposed to Catholic morality. Not surprising then that the pre-1789 laws that criminalized sodomy would be left out of this code as well as the Napoleonic code of 1810. Small in scale compared to the mammoth rewriting of French civil and penal codes, the omission of sodomy laws inaugurated a new era for nineteenth-century gay men. This, coupled with the emergent scientific study of …

Town Council rezoned a residential property to business over the objections of neighbors at its meeting Wednesday.
The lot at the corner of Atlantic Street and Central Avenue is currently a parking lot zoned residential.
The owner wanted to rezone it to general business so he could sell it; the lot is unlikely to sell while zoned residential, William Owens told the planning committee.
Council rezoned it to neighborhood business, which allows retail stores; professional offices; restaurants, as long as they don't serve liquor and don't have a drive-thru; day care centers and similar businesses.
Councilman Aaron Brown said the planning committee tried to find the best compromise zoning to serve the interests of the property owner and the neighbors on Atlantic Street.
The Atlantic Street residents have long complained about the noise, smell and dirt from businesses on the land behind them. In April 2012 the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control fined one of the businesses $10,000 for violating air pollution laws.
However, Councilman Bill McIntosh said, the problem businesses are located in the county, and Town Council has no authority over them.
Before the decision, Linda Whetsell and Charles McDuffie asked council not to rezone.
Whetsell reviewed the history of the problems with the businesses behind Atlantic Street and said the neighbors have no idea what type of business will locate at the corner lot.
She couldn't understand how the matter got to final reading when so many residents were opposed, she said.
"We matter too. I matter," she said.
McDuffie said residents have had health problems caused by the existing businesses. Schoolchildren wait for the bus at the parking lot, and the situation is already hazardous, he said.
There are enough businesses in the area, he said.
"We just don't feel it's good for the community," McDuffie said.
Owens didn't appear to be at the meeting.

With Meche still in the game, the Mariners appeared to be rolling to another victory when they took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning on a nine-pitch at bat by Jeff Cirillo that ended with a line-drive double down the left field line. Randy Winn scored all the way from first to give Seattle a one-run advantage.
Meche, who's pitch-count was already close to 100 heading into the seventh, returned to the mound to open the inning anyway. He forced the first batter, Fernando Tatis, to ground out, seeming to still be crusing right along. That turned out to be the last out he would get, however.
Brian Schneider singled, and Michael Barrett, who came to the plate batting .143, then lifted a deep double that fell between Mike Cameron and Ichiro Suzuki. That gapper allowed Schneider, the team's designated hitter, to motor all the way around from first and tie the score at three.
Shigetoshi Hasegawa was summoned from the bullpen to replace Meche, who left with the game even and his runner, Barrett, on second base.
Hasegawa got the next batter, Edwards Guzman to ground out for the second out of the inning. Barrett advanced to third on the play.
Needing one more out, Expos' leadoff hitter Endy Chavez stepped to the plate and delivered a single past a diving Carlos Guillen to score Barrett.
That run was credited to Meche, who fell to 8-3 on the season.
Montreal's bullpen shut the M's down the final three innings to preserve the win for Javier Vazquez (6-3).
Vazquez gave up three runs on eight hits through six innings. He struck out seven along the way, twice-fanning both Bret Boone and Edgar Martinez.
The Expos got the benefit of three insurance runs off of Mariners' middle-reliever Giovanni Carrara in the ninth, all coming when Chavez lifted a towering shot just beyond the reach of Ichiro in right field for his third homer of the season.
At 7-3, Seattle never threatened in the ninth.
Luis Ayala (remember that last name?) pitched the final 1.2 innings to record his second save of the season.
Seattle (42-20) was led by the three hits of Cirillo, and the two of Ichiro. The team had nine for the game.
Chavez paced Montreal with a 3-5 day at the plate. Orlando Cabrera, the Expos' up-and-coming shortstop with deceptive power, added two hits, including one of the biggest of the game.
With Montreal trailing 1-0 after Ichiro scored in the first, Cabrera stepped to the dish with two outs in the third inning and a runner on. He battled from a 0-2 count and delivered a two-run homer just over the wall in left-center. The shot, estimated at 394 feet, put the Expos ahead and left Meche and the Mariners a bit shell-shocked.
Seattle tied the game up in the fourth when Winn scored from third on a ground ball to first by Ichiro.
Feelin' the Mojo: Bret Boone's third-inning single extended his hitting streak to 15 games.
Mateo Demoted: Left-handed pitcher Matt White, who was acquired over the weekend from the Boston Red Sox, was added to the 25-man roster before Tuesday's game. To make room for White, the Mariners optioned young righty Julio Mateo to Triple-A Tacoma. Mateo, who beat out J.J. Putz, Ken Cloude and Rafael Soriano for the final bullpen spot out of spring training, pitched well in his 16 outings with Seattle in 2003. He was 1-0 with a 4.18 ERA in 28 innings of work. During that time, he managed 23 strikeouts and eight walks.

Organic Throat Coat® is a complex and aromatic blend of herbal tastes-sweet, aromatic, earthy and viscous.
About Traditional Medicinals®
In early 1974, three young friends started Traditional Medicinals® in the back store room of a small herb shop along the Russian River in Northern California. The company was founded with the intention of providing herbal teas for self care, while preserving the knowledge and herbal formulas of Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM).
At the time, traditional herbal tea infusions had all but faded away in the United States. And never before had these reliable formulas been available in convenient tea bags.
Over the decades that followed, the company introduced millions of health conscious consumers to traditional herbal tea formulas and the concepts of THM. These reliable natural teas were well received and Traditional Medicinals® has grown dramatically.
Well over a billion cups of tea have been produced at our beautiful country facility and some products like Organic Smooth Move®, Organic Throat Coat® and Organic Mother?s Milk® have become mainstream and can be found in supermarkets and drug stores throughout North America. Additionally, our product offerings have expanded to include some of our best selling tea formulas in other forms such as pastilles, syrups and capsules.
From our simple beginnings we have been able to share the wonder of herbs and pass along the knowledge contained in the great systems of Traditional Herbal Medicine. To this we have added clinical testing and scientific understanding, as well as sophisticated processes to ensure you reliable products. So, while our business has grown and evolved, we remain rooted in the serious and spirited commitment with which we began over thirty years ago.
Traditional Medicinals® offers Herbal Dietary Supplements, Natural Health Products, OTC Medicines and Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products for the global market

I was on the verge of getting a cold; it started with a really bad sore throat. I wanted to nip it in the butt before it progressed. I picked this up in the grocery store, and decided to give it a try. I've used other teas from Traditional Medicinals before and have loved them. This worked like a charm. It really soothed my throat. Its better than any of those OTC throat sprays. I'm not big on taking medicine so I like that its herbal and very gental. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family.P.S: It's not the best tasting tea, but it has a nice smooth finish and I could feel it coating my throat.

I've always been very prone to sore throats when I get sick, so when I found this tea I became excited at the prospect of finding something that will help me feel better. It didn't take the pain away, but it allowed me to swallow for a little bit. I don't think it does anything that any other over the counter medicine can do for someone who has a sore throat. This is probably a better product for a singer or someone who makes a lot of speeches, but if you're sick it doesn't do anything that regular cold medicine can't do. I personally think throat spray covers my throat better.

The minute I feel a sore throat coming on I start drinking this tea and it eases the soreness. I have been using this tea for many many years and it has always worked for me to relieve my sore throat. When experiencing the sore throat I leave the tea bag in the cup while drinking. I will generally have up to 4 cups a day depending on the severity and use a new tea bag each time.

This helps when you need it!
By gr8pes
from Florida
This tea is great when you have a sore throat--soothing, warming and makes me feel better, at least for a short while. The flavor is definitely a bit licorice-y, which may take a little getting used to if you do not already love anise, but it is not a hard task when it leaves you feeling demonstrably improved. I especially like to drink this before going to bed since soothing the throat can also make it easier not to cough while trying to sleep. I like all of the Traditional Medicinals teas--I feel it is a brand I can trust.

I started using Throat Coat tea for sore throats, and it works like a charm. A spoonful of honey and this tea will soothe even the achiest of throats. I've had it work well even when I was out of honey. It dawned on me that I also love the taste because I kept going back for throat coat even when my throat was completely fine. I love this tea.

I would like drama free dating with someone I find attractive. I don't have a type but a good start would be someone who bathes regularly, is in fairly good shape, respects others, and is aware of the world around him yet can still have fun. Most of all we should make each other laugh.
I have no problem being single but it would be great to find someone to spend time with and see what happens from there. I am certainly willing to commit to the right guy.
I also give a good back rub.
I'm a bit of a news junky and I never miss Jeopardy.
Favorite TV shows would be Mad Men and Nurse Jackie but I also will admit to watching some reality shows like TopChef and Project Runway. I love history and enjoy reading biographies and historical fiction.

TOKYO, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Nippon Steel Corp. , the world's third-biggest steel maker, said on Thursday it was not talking with Mittal Steel on expanding production capacity of their U.S. auto-use sheet steel joint venture.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Today Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) tomorrow the world. That is the message SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son sent out Friday at his company's annual shareholder's meeting in Tokyo.
"I now say, we will become the world's biggest company -- by all measures, whether by sales, profit, or market cap," Son proclaimed, referring to the coup de grace that SoftBank appears to have administered to rival DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH ) this week.
SoftBank and DISH have been fighting over acquiring Sprint in a battle that has gone back and forth since the middle of April, but DISH threw in the towel after SoftBank raised its offer. In addition, Sprint then seemingly blew DISH's $4.40 a share bid for Clearwire (UNKNOWN: CLWR.DL ) out of contention with a SoftBank-supported $5.00 a share offer.
But Son's apparent gloating was leavened with a touch of reality. Wary of DISH chairman Charlie Ergen's legendary tenaciousness, Son did raise the possibility of DISH throwing something else into the pot before Sprint stockholders vote on SoftBank's proposal at their June 25 meeting.
"We don't know what could happen before the meeting," he told SoftBank shareholders.
If all goes according to SoftBank plans, the company will tout a combined SoftBank/Sprint mobile projected annual revenue stream of $25.6 billion, compared to Verizon's $28.7 billion, and China Mobile's $33.8 billion. China Mobile has over 700 million subscribers.
After DISH made its counteroffer for Sprint a little over two months ago, SoftBank had considered going after T-Mobile USA ). "We were faced with extremely difficult problem, since Dish could conceivably disrupt our plans," Son said.
If and when SoftBank and Sprint finally merge, we may then see DISH also seriously considering a T-Mobile takeover.
The 30-year goal for SoftBank, as presented at its stockholders' meeting, is to be among the world's top 10 companies in market capitalization. SoftBank is currently No. 113. The top 10 is now filled with companies like ExxonMobile, Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
Barring unforeseen circumstances (yet another DISH counteroffer, for example), SoftBank expects closing on its Sprint acquisition in early July. Just one more step toward Mr. Son and company's over-arching goal – to be No. 1, and not just in telecom.

Wang Chung
When they first ambushed us at the beginning of this decade, Wang Chung was the very avatar of a techno-pop duo. Jack Hues and Nick Feldman created dance music made all the more compelling by its brittle, mechanical presentation. The bloom is off the synthesizer.
The Warmer Side of Cool contains one terrific song, "Praying to a New God," but even here there are too many superfluous melodic detours thrown into the path of the locomotive central groove. Overall, this collection moves Wang Chung from the techno track toward a more traditional rock vein. That's not a virtue in this case. There was a jittery focus in the past to songs like "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Black-Blue-White" from the film To Live and Die in L.A. Wang Chung still sports high-sheen vocals and penetrating instrumental arrangements, but the mood is hardly as energized as it used to be. "Swing" seems intended to sound cool and sophisticated à la Steely Dan. Instead it sounds like bastardized lounge music. "Games of Power" would be totally unremarkable were it not for the pounding, primal drum beat that recalls Gary Glitter and Adam Ant. "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?" could pass for a sudsy Howard Jones opus, but at least it's not as pompous as "Big World."
The Warmer Side of Cool is an apt title for a tepid album. (Geffen)

MAYOR NUTTER closed his annual address to the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce yesterday with an impassioned plea for business leaders to help lobby Harrisburg for more education money.
"I'm asking this Chamber to make education funding - full and fair funding - your No. 1 priority for 2014," Nutter said. "Every meeting, every lobbying day, every fundraiser, every survey - education funding must be at the top of the discussion."
With budget season approaching, Nutter wants Harrisburg to take up three measures that would aid the financially distressed school district: a revamping of the way the state distributes basic education funds, a law to enable the city to impose a tax on cigarettes and an amendment that makes permanent a 1 percent sales-tax increase in the city that was set to expire this year.

Berlinale Diary: 'Aujourd'hui,' 'Coming Home,' 'The Outraged'
BERLIN - "Are these real films?" a colleague asked, his tone pitched halfway between irony and incredulity, as he contemplated a potential Berlinale marathon of such appetizingly titled sidebar entries as "The Woman Who Brushed Off Her Tears" and "The Woman in the Septic Tank." "Or are audiences simply being punked by festival programmers, and no one can stay awake long enough past the opening credits to realize?"
We were killing time in the languidly paced press ticket queue, waiting to be told, rather curtly, that seats for Sundance critical hit "Keep the Lights On" were no longer available – with the wisdom that comes of experience and persistent disappointment, the aforementioned colleague already had his mind on plan B. More subtly coded but even more bewildering than the press-badge caste system at Cannes, the press screening schedule at Berlin is so riddled with conditions and restrictions (access levels to journalists vary from strand to strand, hour to hour, cinema to cinema) that planning a day's viewing is scarcely less work than filing a day's tax returns.
Two days in, I'm already fretting over films missed and impending timetable clashes – and that's before I get to my concerns over what I have actually seen. Three Competition entries in, meanwhile, revelations are as thin on the ground as broadly recognizable names: even by Berlinale standards, it's been an austere start to the festival. That's what you get for kicking off delegate screenings with a three-hour-plus Werner Herzog death-row documentary, I guess. (I arrived in town too late to catch it, but word is wearily positive.)
Austerity and mortality were very much on the mind of this morning's Competition entry, "Aujourd'hui (Today)" – a woozily allegorical life-in-a-day drama from Francophone writer-director Alain Gomis that looks likely to wind up in the upper tier of this year's Golden Bear hopefuls on its considerable tactile merits alone.
The film's biggest hook for African cinema laymen may be the unlikely presence of American hip-hop poet Saul Williams (best known on screen for headlining the more tailored US indie "Slam") in the inscrutable lead role of Satche, a mild-mannered Dakar everyman inexplicably given one day to live at the film's outset. He's an appropriately grave, dolorous presence, handed little dialogue that might expose his incongruous accent – though there's little that a quick blast of "NiggyTardust" wouldn't fix in the film's dawdling, metaphorically over-inscribed second half – but a reflective vessel for Gomis's keener communal concerns.
"Aujourd'hui" opens with an exquisitely protracted sequence of mass mourning, disembodied wails bouncing off silently stricken faces; just as we wonder whose funeral we've walked in on, we learn that it's something of a living wake for Satche, whose death is announced and accepted with no protest, but much ceremony. As in much African folklore, group sentiment stands in for individual experience, and we wind up learning far more about the man from the variously affectionate and wary responses of those he visits on his mortal victory lap – from a Cheshire-cat uncle to an embittered old flame – around a sun-beaten skeleton city that seems to be on borrowed time itself.
The chronologically elastic outcome will inspire debate, while a brief segue into straight-to-camera politicking is ungainly and arrhythmic, but it's quite literally the local color that compensates in this sensual essay on neo-colonial placelessness: Christelle Fournier's camera drinks in the brick-dust landscape with a patiently journalistic eye for life at the edges, its yawing wide angles exposing both the social clutter and ghostly absences in Satche's unhurried final hours.
Would that Tony Gatlif, another French-African auteur troubled by themes of personal and political community, had half as much faith in his imagery as Gomis does. His latest we-are-the-world effort, Panorama entry "The Outraged (Indignados)," follows the stoic misadventures of wide-eyed, wild-haired immigrant urchin Betty (Isabel Vendrell Cortes) as she gets passed from one unwelcoming European shore to another, her victimized voicelessness a handicap the film seemingly never pauses to considers its own complicity in.
Proceedings open with a languorous tracking shot of immigrants' sodden shoes washed up on a Mediterranean beach – a symbolic stroke that scarcely affords the viewer time to contemplate its tasteful obviousness before the director begins tagging his screen with any number of thuddingly self-evident slogans, all idly pinched from Stephane Hessel, to drive home his scantly researched point. "The earth is not a commodity!" a day-glo title card helpfully informs us. "Violence is not a solution!"
Quite true, but neither is this narrow, Occupy-era filmmaking, which smugly traces longstanding social iniquities without offering any provocative arguments for change. You'd call this attractively mounted visual essay designer socialism if Benetton still qualified as designer: by the time the single word 'Espoir' (hope) pops up on screen in a stencilled typeface that makes it all but indistinguishable from the Esprit label, you have to wonder if Gatlif, whose 2004 Cannes winner "Exiles" covered this worthy thematic ground with far more visual and narrative jazz, is in on the joke.
The day's second Competition film, Frederic Videau's grimly compelling but enervatingly formless child-captor study "Coming Home" has its own plucked-from-the-headlines topicality: an opening title card may staunchly insist on the upcoming narrative's fictitiousness, but it's impossible to imagine that the horrific story of Natascha Kampusch was far from Videau's mind when he conceived his time-scrambled script about an 18 year-old girl, Gaelle (the impressively hard-eyed Agathe Bonitzer), unhappily adjusting to liberty after a decade spent in the clutches of a weak-willed kidnapper (Reda Kateb).
It's the film's own bad luck to arrive on the heels of Markus Schleinzer's much-admired 2011 Cannes entry "Michael," which covered superficially similar ground with more technical panache; "Coming Home" can't help but feel a superfluous addition, even if it's more compassionately performed and generously scaled than Schleinzer's disingenuously tricksy exercise. Indeed, in attempting to give equal consideration to both violator and victim, to both trauma and recovery, Videau's film bites off a little more than it can chew, its non-linear structure attempting to paper over crucial leaps in emotional logic, imagining moral ambiguities where the lines of right and wrong are exactly as they appear on paper.
I wish more of "Coming Home" centered on the bruised, loving, ultimately irreparable relationship between Gaelle and her shell of a mother (a superb Noemie Lvovsky), and I wish precisely none of it featured the bizarrely peppy synth score that Videau presumably opted for on a dare. Most of all, I wish two evidently skilled filmmakers hadn't landed on this subject matter in the space of a year, but that says rather more about the world they live in than the films they've made.

A twenty-year-long futile drive to buyout a pig farm standing on the site
of the former Roma concentration camp in Lety, south Bohemia has received
fresh impetus from an unlikely quarter. ANO leader Andrej Babiš who last

inhumane conditions or were sent to their death in Auschwitz, has pledged
to visit the site, bow to their memory and find the money needed to buyout
the farm and build a dignified memorial.

Interior Design Remix by Randy Kaufman
The clients are an ambitious young married couple that didn't have alot of time to really plan what they wanted, even though they had a good sense of where to start. By listening to what the architecture wanted, and manipulating the natural light, views, space, and design elements within the space, they achieved what they really needed more than anything — a sense of order, a better use of the space, a more efficient amount of organization, better flow, and they ability to get back to their busy lives without having to pine over the details that were holding them back from really LOVING their recently purchased home.
I would say that my style for this apartment was warm modern with a direct New England feel. Also the husband was raised in France and I was able to bring alot of my experiences of living and studying in France to the table to make it feel more like a home they were used to. The architecture was extremely important in determining the furniture plan, and while the rooms of the Victorian home were fairly small, I was able to play with light and scale to make the spaces feel bigger and feel loftier.
One of the reasons I was hired for this project was because I was able to convince the clients that I could work with their rather small budget. As a young couple, they just weren't in the position to spend an exorbitant amount of money on new items, and therefore I creatively worked with some pieces that were kept, some that were purchased from large retailers, some well thought out more expensive choices, and even thrift store finds.
Ultimately the connection between the architecture, myself, and the clients proved to be the best fit, and they couldn't be happier with the results.Thanks Randy!

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Allegations that some Tulsa NAACP members have been the source of anti-Semitic remarks and concerns about recruiting and economic development by Tulsa's NAACP chapter have prompted an investigation by the organization's regional director.
Keryl Douglas, who oversees five states in the organization's southwest region, said she traveled to Tulsa to learn why the local NAACP chapter is not performing as well as it should.
"I would say that it is lagging behind - temporarily," Douglas said. She said all chapters must follow the vision of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and that national leaders believe that the Tulsa chapter is not.
Whether the Tulsa chapter, with 157 members, can achieve success with its current leadership has not been determined, Douglas said.
Douglas met Friday with Robert Cohen of the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, who said he spoke with her about anti-Semitic remarks contained in a document that was released unofficially in the spring by local NAACP members.
"I don't want to repeat them, but they were hateful things," he said.
Cohen said he told Douglas he was pleased with how local chapter President Melvin Easiley quickly had addressed his concerns and that he would urge her to pick people with an inclusive philosophy if she replaced any of the leadership. Douglas would not divulge the anti-Semitic complaints, but she did indicate that she was also investigating disparaging remarks made by an NAACP member on a local morning radio show.
"The NAACP does not condone anti-Semitism in any way," she said. "We believe in equality and mutual respect for cultural differences."
Easiley said he has been dogged by past leaders of the Tulsa chapter since he took office in January because he believes that the group should be more diverse.
Easiley, whose term ends in December 2002, said some of his members were falsely accusing him of misconduct because they don't want the organization to be open.
"To be blunt about it, they don't want any white people or Jews on the board," said Easiley, who has appointed people of different races to NAACP positions.
He produced an e-mail from one member who congratulated him on becoming president but warned him: "We don't want the people we are trying to pull in to think this is yet another business being turned over for white folks to run."
Several members of the Tulsa chapter's executive board confirmed Friday that they have heard racist remarks coming from NAACP members.
One board member, Liz Wright, said that for a long time Tulsa's chapter was not inclusive to nonblacks and that Easiley has been trying to bridge the gap.
"This organization is not supposed to discriminate against anyone," she said.
