6 INTRODUCTION I am very glad that you have found our publication of interest and that you would like to know more about our programme. The foremost thoughts when creating The Bell Rings for Everyone Programme were tolerance, equal opportunities and sustainability. We wanted to create a programme that would bring different social groups together and it would make social integration for handicapped people stronger. Through the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme we had the chance to help cross-border social groups to cooperate. Apart from learning about the local handicapped situation, the staff and the volunteers of the participating member countries also got to know about each other s culture. During the one-year-long cooperation friendships were made and the organizations brought new information into each other s work, which can also be considered as one of the programme s results. The success of the project inspires us to continue the cooperation and look for opportunities to work together. Apart from the cooperation of the partners, the support of the local governments, the Hungarian Embassy of Ungvár, and the work of the partaking institutions and teachers also contributed to the programme s success, for which I would like to thank them here was The European Year of Volunteering and about 100 volunteers took part in our programme, whose work was exemplary.

7 DOWN ASSOCIATION The DOWN Association was created 13 years ago by parents who found it important to share their knowledge and experience with families who also have children with Down-syndrome. Down Donation: supports educational institutions that take part in the early development of the mentally challenged. Participation in the Down Nanny programme, showing a positive example at the birth of another Down-baby. Down Shop: sells jewellery, souvenirs made by the mentally challenged through a webshop. Down Ambulance: in cooperation with the Jósa András Hospital, where the necessary medical tests are carriied out within a day, out of turn. Programmes of the Down Association The Bell Rings for Everyone educational programme in Central-Europe Due to the success of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme in the 2009/2010 school year, the Association continued its actions in 2011 in many Hungarian cities, as well as in Ukraine and Romania. The goal: helping the integration and acceptance of handicapped people. International World Down Syndrome Day in Vígszínházban (2009, 2010, 2011) The Down Association was the first to organize an event in Hungary on World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, 2009 in Vígszínház, a famous Hungarian theatre, where 200 people with Down Syndrome and 400 able-bodied children had fun in various activities. In 2011 the third World Down Syndrome Day was organized, and it become an international event where more than 1000 people showed up. It is worth noting that every year the actors and actresses of Vígszínház take part in the children s programmes as volunteers. Regular performers on World Down Syndrome Day include Slovakian and Polish groups and visitors come to play from many neighbouring countries every year. Wonder Castle (Csodavár) Early Development Centre in Nyíregyháza Opened on August 30, 2011, the Wonder Castle Early Development Centre tries to help parents who find it important for their children to be able to become the most harmonious people possible, handicapped or otherwise, with advice on parenting and learning about and developing their children s abilities. 7
8 CARITAS SATU MARE Caritas Satu Mare is a not-for-profit organization established in 1990, which later on became member of the Caritas Confederation, an organization including ten other similar organizations from Romania. In the very beginning, right after the revolution in December 1989, the main mission of the organization was to distribute humanitarian aid sent from abroad, but over the years, in its endeavor to answer the social needs of people in difficult situations, Caritas Satu Mare has developed and diversified its activities. Currently, Caritas Satu Mare is carrying out complex social assistance programmes with 39 institutions from Satu Mare and Maramures counties. These programmes are separated into four groups: socio-educational programmes for children and youth, programmes for the handicapped, programmes for the elderly and social-charitable programmes. Through these programmes, Caritas Satu Mare has become an agent of social change at the local level. That is why Caritas Satu Mare promotes the most modern concepts and trends of social policy, provides professional services with the help of its 203 employees with an average age of 35, intervenes promptly and efficiently in cases of natural disasters, and encourages involvement of local communities in the development of the region. In order to achieve its goals, Caritas Satu Mare has created solid partnerships, both with the local and county authorities and with other non-governmental organizations from the country and abroad. 8
9 MEDICAL-SOCIAL REHABILITATION CENTRE - THE PATH OF LIFE The Way of Life is a medical-social rehabilitation centre, charitable foundation, civic, nongovernment, non-profit organization that deals with the complex rehabilitation of the handicapped, gives them social protection, represents their interests until the age of 35. There are 5 age-based groups in the centre, with 56 visitors. The children are looked after by trained teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, physical rehabilitation and reflexotherapz experts, masseurs and nurses. Their goals To provide a chance to physically and mentally handicapped children and youth to be able to be completely or partially integrated into social life. Since love and the parents love is absolutely necessary for their children s complete rehabilitation, The Way of Life centre helps parents to accept their children s problems and the centre s staff makes them an active part of the rehabilitation process. Early development is a complex family support programme for families where a child was born with disabilities or the suspicion of one. This programme helps to find the abnormalities early and allows complex treatment. It also assists parents with everyday life. The programme supports families from the birth of the child until they become 6 years old. One of their main goals is to completely prepare special needs children for the life ahead of them, make sure they will have a job and help them integrate into society. Our centre runs several programmes that help the integration of handicapped children. We work together with The House of Childrend and Youth in Ungvár (PADUIN), the Victoria sportcoreography studio (lead by Dancsin- Brezsinszkaja V.) and the Transylvania-Carpathia School of Fine Arts.

10 REALIZING THE BELL RINGS FOR EVERYONE PROGRAMME Choosing the participants of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme Author: Vékony Katalin, PR manager of the Down Association Before starting The Bell Rings for Everyone educational programme, it was important to properly inform not only the directors and teachers of the participating institutions that look after handicapped children, but also the parents of the integrated child, the specialist school as well as the parents of the children attending majority schools. Institutions participating in the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme put a big emphasis on this in all three countries, so the list of participants was created step by step. a./ Choosing the participating handicapped children A parent meeting was organized at a friendly meeting by the Down Association in Nyíregyháza, Caritas Satu Mare and the Medical and Social Rehabilitation Center in Uzhhorod, where parents of the handicapped children could learn about The Bell Rings for Everyone programme while the children took part in playful activities. After tje meeting the parents signed up at the organizations and their children became part of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme. b./ Choosing the participating majority institutions Ungvár, Satu Mare and Nyíregyháza s majority schools were brieflt informed via and phone about The Bell Rings for Everyone programme, then we invited said institutions directors for a meeting where they could learn about the programme started by the Down Association in greater detail, with PowerPoint presentations. They could also ask questions. The directors had a week to decide if they want to take part in the programme, then they selected the teachers in their kindergarten or school with whom the participating organizations could cooperate in The Bell Rings for Everyone project/ c./ Meeting the majority teachers The majority teachers of every country learned about the programme at a meeting held at each country. Their questions were answered by experts, then at another meeting they met the children who were chosen by each institution based on age and interests to be in their group or class. 10
11 With our programme we would like to achieve, apart from society s sympathy, for the handicapped children, using differentiated educational methods, to be able to take part in early development and integrated education in Hungary. Kisari Károly, Presiden, Down Association Press release, sociological research, the first TBRFE month Each country s media was informed about the start of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme by the project partners, so widespread publicity of the common goals and The Bell Rings for Everyone programme was given not only in Hungary but in Romania and Ukraine as well. Citizens could find out from the press that an initiative was started in their hometown, the point of which is that handicapped children could visit majority kindergartens and schools once a week as classmates, then perform a project prepared throughout the months with able-bodied children. Before the start of the programme, the participating insitutions handed out questionnaires made with the assistance of a sociologist to the teachers and children of selected kindergartens and schools (whether the teachers took part in the programme or not). The parents of the handicapped children and teachers at specialist schools also took part in a similar survey. After the survey, The Bell Rings for Everyone started with a one-month cycle in all three countries, during which handicapped children spent the month of May with their able-bodied peers. During this short period children could integrate and got to know their new peers, and participating teachers and special education teachers could experience The Bell Rings for Everyone programme in practice. This period was the warm-up for the three-month programme in autumn, where participants big and small were able to join a familiar environment. The primary goal of The Bell Rings for Everyone is to form social attitude on the one hand for children in public education, and on the other hand, for the families raising them.

12 Teachers visit to the House of Children in Hidegkút On April 5, 2011 teachers of the partner organizations of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme Organizatia Caritas Satu Mare Association (Satu Mare) and the Medical and Social Rehabilitation Center Path to Life (Ungvár) visited Hungary and spent two days in Budapest. After some rest following their arrival and some sightseeing around Budapest, the partner cities teachers could observe an entire school day at the House of Children in Budapest-Hidegkút, starting in the morning. Here, teachers since the 1993/94 school year have been consciously practicing integrated education for special needs children. Everyone had the chance to observe any lesson and the integrated education in practice, as well as ask questions from the director of the institution during a free conversation. Teachers from Ungvár and Satu Mare had a lot of positive experience during the visit and they could also see what is integrated education like in one of the outstanding schools in Hungary. Apart from the answers they got to their questions and the experience itself, teachers also realized that if integrated education can be done in such a form in Hungary, the same potential can be found in Romanian and Ukrainian institutions as well. The Down Association had a press conference as part of the school visit, where Pokorni Zoltán, President of the National Educational, Scientific and Research Committee of the Hungarian Parliament, reassured the organizers the Down Association once more about his support and offered them the chance to present their ideas about creating equal opportunities in Hungarian education to the Committee. I am very glad that this Hungarian initiative has found followers across the borders and I find it important to not only show them a good example but also help the foreign representatives to realize The Bell Rings for Everyone programme. Providing equal opportunities is the base of every well-functioning society, so it is essential to create the conditions during childhood. Pokorni Zoltán, President, National Educational, Scientific and Research Committee of the Hungarian Parliament 12
13 Partner meetings every month Cross-border partner institutions of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme Organizatia Caritas Satu Mare Association (Satu Mare) and the Medical and Social Rehabilitation Center Path to Life (Ungvár) and the Down Association in Nyíregyháza had a meeting every month, in the country of a different organization every month. During these meetings the three organizations prepared the schedules for the meetings with the participating teachers, directors of the organizations and parents and held brainstorming sessions to make the programme more colourful. Apart from streamlining The Bell Rings for Everyone programme, the meetings were to help finishing the sociological study running in the background as well as brainstorming about and organizing the closing events in all three countries. During the summer holidays, when kindergartens and schools were closed and this part of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme was on hold, organizing the closing events was started in Ungvár, Satu Mare and Nyíregyháza. Monthly meetings were still held: as well as sharing experiences and summarizing costs and results, the three organizations chose the venues for the three closing events and, based on the results of the one-month trial run of The Bell Rings for Everyone, thought of solutions to possible problems so that restarting the programme in September should be flawless. Short summary of the 3 months of TBRFE and the websites After the start of The Bell Rings for Everyone in May, the three organizations contacted the participating institutions once again, so the programme could continue in September and handicapped children could visit majority schools once a week in all three countries. With the help of the project coordinators, excellent relationships were formed between the chaperoning special education teachers and the teachers from the participating majority schools, so the integration of handicapped children into an already known environment was problem-free. All the participating children had their pictures taken in Nyíregyháza, Ungvár and, of course, in Satu Mare. These were added continually to, and remaiined on, the websites for everyone to see. 13
14 Apart from the pictures taken on the lessons, visitors and participants can also find on the websites a list of institutions taking part in The Bell Rings for Everyone programme, as well as information about the programme itself. On the websites (www.mbcs.hu, contact information for the organizations can also be found, so interested parties can contact them, this way making a bridge between the majority society, the organizations taking care of the handicapped, special education teachers, kindergartens and schools. The websites are available for everyone in the countries respective languages. The Bell Rings for Everyone events in three countries An important part of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme is a special Children s Day where students from the institutions participating in The Bell Rings for Everyone can stand up on stage with their handicapped peers and the parents can look at their performace and their craft creations. The closing events were the following: a./ Special Children s Day in Ungvár b./ Special Children s Day in Satu Mare The Ukrainian closing event was held on Saturday, November 19 in the Youth Centre of Ungvár (Padiun). Performers at the gala included the children groups participating in The Bell Rings for Everyone, various dance and singing groups from the city and one of Ungvár s most famous coreographic dance studios, Victoria. Everybody could look at the creations done throughout the programme while clowns walked around the hall. There were facepainting, balloons and Saturday morning was spent wonderfully. Performers at the gala held in Satu Mare on November 26 included kindergarten students from the kindergartens participating in The Bell Rings for Everyone and the Northern Theatre, where the gala was held, prepared colourful activities for everyone. The king from the play called Eternal Youth guided the children and the parents throughout the day, and after the children s performance drum virtuoso Cserey Csaba took the stage with a one of a kind, interactive drumming session where every children could take part. At the end of the gala, valuable raffle prizes were handed out and there were facepainting, arts and crafts activities and clowns during the performances. The guests could also look at the creations the children did during the programme. 14
15 c./ Special Children s Day in Nyíregyháza As part of the Hungary-Slovakia-Romania- Ukraine ENPI Cross-border Cooperation Programme, Pregitzer Fruzsina s I m Doing Magic performance opened the full-house The Bell Rings for Everyone gala organized by the Down Society and held at the Móricz Zsigmond Theatre in Nyíregyháza on December 3, World Disabled Day. Entering the Magic World was followed by performances from students from participating kindergartens and schools who took the stage with their handicapped peers. After the Hungarian children, Ukrainian kindergarten students performed their productions that they created during The Bell Rings for Everyone, then everyone could enjoy a concert by the music group Dió. After the raffles came a surprise from Móricz Zsigmond Theatre: they invited everyone on stage then spun the stage with everybody on it. Apart from the fabulous stage productions, the hundreds of visitors could also enjoy making angels, facepainting, balloons and the children s creations. The atmosphere at all three events proved that The Bell Rings for Everyone reached one of its goals, that is, it showed that handicapped and able-bodied children can work together in a productive way, and the teachers experiences, results and enthusiasm (see below) also show that the programme had a positive effect in all three countries. The present and future of integration in our region Pázmány Viktória training rapporteur, head of the Csodavár Early Intervetion Centre In the light of the idea of equality it became evident that a separate way of social integration for handicapped people cannot be created. For handicapped people to be able to integrate into society institutions have to be established by the society where there is no difference between handicapped and able-bodied people. Illyés Sándor s thoughts are proof of a new kind of understanding which does not stigmatize or excludes people because they are different but it realizes that living together and creating the chance of empathy is in everyone s interest Separating handicapped people if they suffer from birth defects starts when they are infants. The handicapped baby is treated differently from its able-bodied peers, which starts an irreversible process and convinces the parents, the family and the child that something has changed forever and there is no way back. Segregation has a long-running history in our country and fixed social behaviours are hard to change. On the other hand, the social, economic and legal environment seem to have changed in the last few decades throughout Europe and in Hungary. Processes aiming to strengthen integration were started in most nations within the European Union. Most of the southern states offer complete integration for handicapped youth already, which means they got rid of segregated institutions and their previous experiences are used in inclusive educational facilities. Most of Western-Europe runs two parallel models, which means that traditional segregated institutions can be found along with effective inclusive institutions following a modern approach. Exemplary examples can be found in the Scandinavian countries. Hungary, on the other hand, is still a third-line country and it still has a segregated school system and steps toward integration were only made in kindergartens. 15
16 Movements toward exercising human and civil rights and legal control could provide the appropriate framework. According to rule number 6 of The Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (United Nations, December 20, 1993, translated to Hungarian in 1995), States should recognize the principle of equal primary, secondary and tertiary educational opportunities for children, youth and adults with disabilities, in integrated settings. They should ensure that the education of persons with disabilities is an integral part of the educational system. 1 International norms are followed by Hungarian jurisdiction and it tries to develop the appropriate legislation. That is why certain laws and regulations were made that can preapre educational integration, for example law LXXIX from 1993 about public education, the law of rqual opportunities from 1998 or regulation 29/2002. OM. about providing equal opportunities for handicapped students to continue their studies and the OM announcement from 2003 about developing handicapped students integrational skills and skill-develiping. Legal background on its own is not enough, though, and the planned integration takes a long time in practice. Unfortunately, without providing the prerequisites and neglecting the preparation of the affected or violating them through integration in case of almost every minority leads to opposition from the majority. The base of integration is mutual acceptance which has to be a part of education before the integration can start. One way of doing this is called inclusive education. New approaches appeared that were adjusting to the legal framework or were running parallel with it. Such approaches include different kinds of alternative education that considers differentiation, individual personality development and unique treatment as its base as well as accepting the social spirit and each other and planting the seeds of tolerance in children. Also, more and more professional bodies criticize exclusive education and talk about the advantages of inclusive education. These are supported by new definitions in special education terminology, their goal being emphasizing the similarities and positive things as opposed to the differences and negatives. Not only professionals but the parents of handicapped children also try to make sure their children reach adulthood after going through regular development, meaning they should not start their life separated, stigmatized, instead have the same opportunities as the other children both in educationan and other parts of life. These efforts are supported by some changes that create opportunities which might not have been created with these goals in mind, yet fit perfectly in this system. For example, ending the state monopoly of education and developing a plural education system which gave way to alternative education. Inclusive education in kindergarten and school leads to several questions and thoughts that are connected like a web and cannot be separated. Each question leads to the next, one thought gives birth to another and each sheds light on further connections. First, the participants have to be mentioned, because the success of integration is based on their training, preparedness and attitude. The school and its surroundings have to be prepared: teachers, children, parents. Special education teachers and other experts involved in the integration also have to be trained, since working in an inclusive school demands very different expectations than before. Teaching special needs children inclusively is a serious burden on educational institutions, their integration cannot be a sudden decision or a result of reckless steps. Proper professional and
17 methodological preparation is required, the equipment and infrastructure have to be gathered. This means a financial and mental strain, from which the financial one is usually the bigger, even though gathering enough money should not pose a problem, according to the law. It is expected from teachers to personalize every subsystem during the educational process (goal, method, evaluation, equipment), so it has to be different for SNI and other students. This contradicts the school s need to be uniformed. This duality the need to be unique and uniform becomes an almost unresolvable paradox and creates serious difficulties for teachers. Creating a unique system of goals, evaluation, etc. is not easy because it already entails a certain segregation, separation. Teachers have to develop a differentiation system which is varied enough methodically. Using the appropriate teaching methods, teachers can make their class see and accept each other s differences and realize that the expectations and the goals are not the same for everyone. Each student has to develop compared to themselves and the goals have to be realistic. It is undisputable that through inclusive education reaching the goals set by the teacher are more difficult than teaching less different children. It is also important to mention the excess that inclusive education holds and put them in the limelight. Living together, being different and learning about different things have a positive effect on every child s development. Getting to know and accepting each other conveys normal patterns of behaviour ; creates a realistic self-image and self-evaluation. For weaker students better performance is a pulling force, it becomes important to them to meet higher standards. On the other hand, children with better abilities profit both in knowledege and humanness when they help their peers understand and acquire the study material. It is undeniable that for handicapped children it means more than this. Through integration children who have to stay at a student hostel from the age of 7 can avoid being put there. The feeling of segregation will cease which makes social integration easier, even natural for them. Teachers, though facing a more difficult task, can use more effective teaching materials, they can constantly refresh their knowledge and try new methods. Inclusive education, as it has been stated before, has serious conditions. It is important to point out that not everyone has to be integrated by any means possible. The process has to be well thought-out and organized. The first, indispensable step of preparation is early development which requires an early diagnosis and diagnostic methods. Integration is not possible without assistance from special needs teachers, which would not only dismiss the segregation among children in the new system, but also among teachers, the two groups could work together, help each other and enjoy their common results. For this, both parties need to have a positive and accepting attitude. Apart from professional support, parental background is also necessary because families, as well as schools, are also part of the team. Ideally, the groups and classes should reproduce society, so when thinking about headcount and composition, we have to make sure that the number of SNI students does not make reaching the goals impossible. We are aware of the fact that this cannot be done in small settlements. Here differences are overrepresented and it shows in schools as well. Furthermore, it is a regulatory requirement for a founding document to include integration and the infrastructure, personal and physical conditions, the properties of the building and classroom have to be up to par with requirements and have to be tailored to the children s special needs. 17
18 The Bell Rings for Everyone programme tries to assist in several essential elements of this process. It creates conditions where majority and special needs teachers can experience the possibilities provided by inclusion. They get involved personally with a population unknown to them and they work together towards a common goal. The positive experiences gathered during the programme affect their attitude which later enables not only occasional integration but prepares them to accept difference, makes them forget their fears about handling special needs children. The programme also provides deep experiences for the involved able-bodied and handicapped children and their families. Getting to know each other, the fun of working together and success achieved together brings the two camps together and shows the possibilities of various differences complementing each other and making their life more colourful. In the times of great geographical discoveries maps used to be full of unknown areas. Today there are similar areas in Hungarian education. Such an unknown area on the map of education that provides a great challenge is inclusive schools. These schools are barrier-free not only phisically but mentally; where difference is as natural as it is in society and nobody questions its reason for existence. According to today s EU and because of this, Hungarian laws, every child has the right to attend the school closest to their home. But this is only a law. Life, as in many other cases, does not comply with rules on a piece of paper and as common practice, mentally or phisically handicapped children, when they reach the age compulsory schooling,, go to schools hundreds of kilometres away from their families and only come home at the weekends. We could go on about differences between our children, and currently not many institutions try to lessen these differences, even though such institutions could show the way and the possibilities of development for the whole society. What would such a school be like? The school itself is a polis, and as such, it resembles society. This school would actually resemble society and teach children the virtues that have become forgotten these days: patience, acceptance, love. This school could become a home and the people living in it would become families. Analysis of the effects of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme Dr. Hüse Lajos sociologist, head of the Gyermekjóléti Központ The most defining moment in a person s life is undoubtedly when they are having a child. We could even go as far as saying that creating life and nurturing it, then setting it free is the foremos goal of our lives not only in a biological, evolutionary sense, but both culturally and humanely. This might be the reason for the lack of words when a couple has a handicapped child. Apart from taking such a burden on themselves, after the first pains are gone, they have to face the fact that this great goal might be damaged as well, since the person they should set free eventually might never learn how to fly. There are no words for this feeling. No right words. The problems already start with the name of the problem. Almost all of our words are hurtful, 18
19 offensive or it cuts like a knife. Other words babble or try to cautiously describe the point. And even if we found a suitable, non-offensive, yet not syrupy word for a handicapped child getting into the family, it would soon become offensive because it would fill up with the loss and sorrow of the affected and the unfomfortable embarrasment, gestures and intonation of everybody else. The English call children born with mental, emotional, physical disabilities, having long-term medical problems or suffering from the consequences of a tragic accident an exceptional child. As Kálmán Zsófia 2 writes,this expression illustrates that these children need special attention, care, education and love and their parents take on with exceptional humanity this extraordinary burden. How appropriate this expression would be in Hungarian! We also do not have the appropriate words to describe those who carry this hard burden. As professionals, how should we disclose the diagnosi with the worrying mother? How should we tell the father, who is muted by self-accusation, about the future. How should we help the family ss relatives, friends, acquaintances? How should we talk to them to overcome pain and grief, who to share with them the smaller joys of life and how to help them to discover such joys themselves? How should we marvel at values yet unseen? And how to be natural about all of these at all? Societies, communities and school groups do not have enough experience to give a correct answer. The Down Association was founded by a self-helping advocacy group of parents with special children. Working with them I experienced the inappropriateness of my words and struggled when I had to share my feelings. The impartiality of science only helped not to show it. It is my job, after all, to register the social and mental projections in a way that does not alter them. My job is to impartially observe the phenomena, analyze the data and interpret the results. If I let my feelings run free, I lose my impartiality and the objectivity needed to keep a cool head. I also felt that I was fooling myself. I was never impartial to handicapped people, let alone children. And now I lost my impartiality towards the members of the Down Association they became people from notions, some might have even become my friends. And, as it become evident while working, it does not feel good to talk matter-of-factly about what I have discevered through science as if its was only data. How should I say or descrbe the findings of impact assessment so that it is objective and humane at the same time, showcasing the people, handicapped or able-bodied, who the programme is about? Once again, I turned to Kálmán Zsófia, who took down the words of a mother who was looking for diagnosis, help and advice after giving birth to her handicapped child. Gently but truthfully. I believe this is the asnwer to several how -questions. Even if the truth is not always clear it would require further research. Even if the analyses are not always clear further discussion and joint thinking would be required. So, what would this research be about, I asked myself when I finally decided what I will write about and how I will write it, if not to encourage joint thinking and call for further discussion? The bell rings for everyone
20 Research background, material and method The foremost goal of The Bell Rings for Everyone programme is to bring closer handicapped more precisely, ones with mild to moderate mental disabilities and able-bodied children. The creators of the programme assumed that working together and getting first-hand experience would make able-bodied children more accepting and tolerant. Another goal down the line is to change society s approach, driven by mutual respect and the urge to help those in need. This change had to be made measureable during impact assessment and the expected amount of increase in tolerance had to be shown. A significant feature of the research is that the results were basically reached by the teachers of the accepting classes who did not have any special training, as well as the children themselves, building on their own strength, ingernuity and social skills. We could say that nothing extraordinary happened, only something that anyone in any community could achieve: the experience of being together. By carrying out the programme this way, The Association, naturally, did not want to declare that integrating handicapped children could be done without the need for special needs knowledge; it does not state that everything depends only on the attitude of the accepting environment. Changing attitudes in a positive way is, of course, in the focal point of the programme and integration, but lasting results can only be achieved in integrated schools where the accepting teacher is supported by and works closely together with a special needs teacher who overlooks and assists the development of the integrated children. The first step of the programme s impact assessment was a questionnaire survey carried out among the teachers and students of the participating kindergartens and schools, as well as the parents of the handicapped children. The survey, then contentrating on the changes, was repeated at the end of the programme as impact assessment. The data was supplemented with parent interviews, family diaries made during the event and an interaction process analysis (IPA) done on a subsample (N=8) of a random group of children. 3 The attitude of teachers in special schools was measured by a questionnaire on a smaller subsample. We were aiming for a full sample, which means that we tried to involve every teacher in the participating institutions, regardless of the number of classes or groups who accepted handicapped children, and if the teachers took part in the programme or not such asteachers of senior classes. The research did not include the administrative and techical staff of the institutions. A partial full sample was the goal in the case of the student population: we involved every student from the participating classes and did not include the classes not taking part in the programme except for the control groups where we assumed The Bell Rings for Everyone did not change their attitude, or if it did, only minimally. 3 Bales, R.

Moving into a new house can be stressful, yet exciting. A new home often comes with a plethora of surprises; some of these will be pleasant, others, maybe not so much! Take driving up to your new home, for the very first time. You pull into the driveway, and hit the button in your car; no movement! The garage door is stuck. This can be one of the bigger home repair headaches a home owner/renter can experience, the best thing to do is call a Boulder garage door company and get it fixed as quickly as possible. A broken garage door can also be a safety hazard! Next, you try the key to the front door; lucky for you, at least the key works.
As you continue on into the foyer, you imagine all of your belongings making this house a home. Try to contemplate your new home, its location and how you will fit into the neighborhood. Consider which route you will take when to go to work, how your kids will like their new school and where the nearest market or shops are.
A very helpful tip is to listen for noise, like barking dogs and traffic and wonder what it will be like when the sun goes down and during afterhours. Take a look at the yard and note if there are any overgrown shrubberies or trees near the garage or front door, and take a mental picture of the type of upkeep that might be needed. Envision your new life in Colorado and realize that there are many new and wonderful adventures awaiting you, but first things first; you must move in and get settled.
Now is the time to ensure that everything is in working order, and that you will be able to function and thrive in your new space. Head to the kitchen; make sure that the windows are in working order and so is the garbage disposal, ensure the space for your refrigerator is adequate and all of the burners turn on and the oven is hot. In the bathrooms, the toilets flush and don't continuously run, and the exhaust fans work.
Make certain all of the windows and doors open and close freely, and the lights turn on and off in every room. There are no strange odors and there don't appear to be any water stains on the ceiling, walls or base boards. The ceiling fans are in working order and so are the heater and air conditioning systems. The water runs in all of the sinks and tubs; there are no leaks. Everything checks out!
Now, it is time to move in your belongings, and turn this house into a home.

BEIJING (AP) Stephon Marbury reached an agreement to play for a professional team in China.
Shanxi announced it was bringing in the former NBA All-Star guard on Monday. In a release, the team said it expected Marbury to play his first game on Jan. 27 against Qingdao.
Wang Xingjiang, head of the Shanxi team, called the signing of Marbury "a reward to our fans" to help a struggling team.
"Marbury's salary is not an astronomical figure because by coming here he also hopes to open up the Chinese market and sell his shoes," Xingjiang said.
The team is 3-10 and in 12th place in a 17-team league.
Marbury has his own line of Starbury basketball shoes and apparel.
The 32-year-old Marbury played 13 seasons in the NBA with Minnesota, New Jersey, Phoenix, New York and Boston. He averaged 19.3 points in his career.
He played 23 games with the Celtics last season after a messy split from the Knicks.

Organic Honey Production with Julie Hobbins and Robyn Daley
A serendipitous meeting between like-minded folk leads to a conscientious organic honey production business in California.
Rose-infused honey is a beautiful way to preserve the medicinal properties of the rose. Many flavorful and beneficial herbs and flowers can be infused into honey, strained after 2-6 weeks, and then added to tea, oatmeal or anywhere else you want a touch of honey flavor.

All of us cognise garlic which is furthermost regularly nearly new as a flavourer or a flavoring. You any same it or disgust it once you see it on or stench it from your hay. Garlic, whether raw or cooked, is well-known for its well-set facet odor. But, are you mindful that alliaceous plant can be used medically in any case its culinary purposes. In fact, garlic has extended been well thought out as a seasoning "Wonder Drug".
When powdered or delicately chopped, alliaceous plant yields allicin, a leading antibiotic and anti-fungal trilobate (phytoncide). It besides contains ajoene, allicin, enzymes, alimentation B, minerals, and flavonoids.
Ajoene, an unsaturated disulfide, is settled from the soldering of three allicin molecules. The industrial-strength property and look of garlic comes from Allicin. After a garlic clove is powdered or finely chopped, the liberation of allicin occurs. When allicin is dissolved in mixed solvents together with nontoxic oils, ajoene is definite. Ajoene can besides be found in alliaceous plant extract. Ajoene is supreme sound and most extensive in separate of garlic (chopped garlic in edible oil).
Scientists have late saved ajoene has antithrombotic (anti-clotting) properties, which helps impede platelets in the liquid body substance from forming humor clots. These properties can possibly reduce the speculate of heart virus and manoeuvre in group.
There are at smallest possible 12 very well planned studies published nigh on the international that verify that garlic in respective forms can cut back cholesterol. The greatest exploration so far was conducted in Germany where 261 patients from 30 broad practices were fixed any garlic pulverisation tablets or a placebo. After a 12 hebdomad exposure period, scrounging body fluid cholesterin levels born by 12% and triglycerides dropped by 17% in the garlic doped troop compared to the medicament horde.
Scientists recovered that allicin blocks the enzymes by reacting beside one of their primal components renowned as sulfhydryl (SH) groups, or thiols, which are also essential components of several enzymes that join in the mixture of steroid alcohol. By reacting next to and modifying the sulfhydryl groups in those enzymes, allicin may ban the crop of arteria obstructive cholesterin. This could grant a likely illumination for how allium sativum lowers the levels of corrupting cholesterol.
Nevertheless, it is believed that allium sativum does have edge effects. Due to its weapons-grade nature, raw alliaceous plant should not be eaten in astronomical amount as it could cultivate problems, for standard annoyance of or even change to the biological process tract. Also, in that are a few associates who are allergic to allium sativum. Symptoms of allium sativum allergic reaction list crust rash, fundamental quantity and headaches. Also, allium sativum could possibly break up anti-coagulants, so it is incomparable avoided previously medical science.

Kearney Girl's Birthday Wish is to Grant a Wish
Birthday wishes for most kids usually center around new toys and fun with their friends, but one Kearney girl wasn't thinking about her own wishes on her big day.
Six-year-old Emma Heacock asked her friends and family, not for toys, but for donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for her birthday. In all, Emma raked in over $200 dollars in support of the foundation this year and she doesn't plan to stop there.
Emma has dedicated her past two birthdays to the foundation, since she was 5-years-old, and has raised more than $400 all together.
The six-year-old says she wants to continue to do this every year for her birthday until she has brought in enough money to pay for an entire wish.
"I want to send kids to Disney Land," said Emma.
It's one of her favorite places and a common wish for the foundation to grant. A Disney wish costs $7,500 and Emma has it all planned out. She and her mom estimate it will take until her 15th birthday, nine more years, to reach that goal. Emma doesn't mind giving up the presents one bit.
"I've been blessed and I want to bless others," said the 6-year-old. She knows she is lucky and this is her simple reason for paying it forward.
Hannah Stone, V.P. of Make-A-Wish in central Nebraska said Emma demonstrates "the best kind of giving."
Stone accepted the donation from Emma, thanking her for her generosity and admiring what her friends and family call her "big heart."
Stone said that the foundation grants a variety of wishes, from shopping sprees to trips to Hawaii and that no matter how big or small a wish is they make it special for the children.
Even a trip to get a kitten is made more exciting. "We'll pick them up in a limo, they'll go to lunch and then the limo will take them to the breeder or pet store," said Stone.
She said the foundation survives on donors like Emma. They don't receive and federal or state money and utilize their hundreds of volunteers to keep the wishes coming.
It all starts with a wish referral from someone who knows the child or even the child themselves.
They are always looking for more help, both from donors and volunteers. To learn more about how to volunteer, donate or refer a child for a wish visit http://nebraska.wish.org/.

As I have mentioned in the past, I have what one might refer to as, "a potty mouth." Since becoming a parent, I have worked hard to refrain from using foul language. We even introduced a new family rule in the Ross household.
And for the most part, I have been doing really well. One area that has always been challenging is driving. I used to yell and curse regularly at other drivers. Believe me, they always deserved it.
I didn't engage in road rage behavior or make lewd gestures. I simply shouted my feelings about the other person's driving skills or behavior. When I'm alone in my car, who's going to hear me?
Trouble is, I am rarely alone in my vehicle anymore. Most times I have a young, impressionable passenger. So I started to simply call all the bad drivers I encountered, "Dude." As in:
"Aw, dude, what are you doing?!"
"Thanks a lot, dude!"
"Way to go, dude!"
"What kind of driving is that, dude?!"
I don't yell these things. I simply say them in my normal voice. It seems a reasonable alternative; it enables me to get out my frustrations without exposing my child to bad words or behavior on my part.
So the other day, we were driving to school and a car cut me off. From the back seat, SB goes, "That person is a DUDE!"
I could not. stop. laughing.

Cement-based Materials' Characterization using Ultrasonic Attenuation
Punurai, Wonsiri
MetadataShow full item record
The quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of cement-based materials is a critical area of research that is leading to advances in the health monitoring and condition assessment of the civil infrastructure. Ultrasonic NDE has been implemented with varying levels of success to characterize cement-based materials with complex microstructure and damage. A major issue with the application of ultrasonic techniques to characterize cement-based materials is their inherent inhomogeneity at multiple length scales. Ultrasonic waves propagating in these materials exhibit a high degree of attenuation losses, making quantitative interpretations difficult. Physically, these attenuation losses are a combination of internal friction in a viscoelastic material (ultrasonic absorption), and the scattering losses due to the material heterogeneity. The objective of this research is to use ultrasonic attenuation to characterize the microstructure of heterogeneous cement-based materials. The study considers a real, but simplified cement-based material, cement paste - a common bonding matrix of all cement-based composites. Cement paste consists of Portland cement and water but does not include aggregates. First, this research presents the findings of a theoretical study that uses a set of existing acoustics models to quantify the scattered ultrasonic wavefield from a known distribution of entrained air voids. These attenuation results are then coupled with experimental measurements to develop an inversion procedure that directly predicts the size and volume fraction of entrained air voids in a cement paste specimen. Optical studies verify the accuracy of the proposed inversion scheme. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of using attenuation to measure the average size, volume fraction of entrained air voids and the existence of additional larger entrapped air voids in hardened cement paste. Finally, coherent and diffuse ultrasonic waves are used to develop a direct relationship between attenuation and water to cement (w/c) ratio. A phenomenological model based on the existence of fluid-filled capillary voids is used to help explain the experimentally observed behavior. Overall this research shows the potential of using ultrasonic attenuation to quantitatively characterize cement paste. The absorption and scattering losses can be related to the individual microstructural elements of hardened cement paste. By taking a fundamental, mechanics-based approach, it should be possible to add additional components such as scattering by aggregates or even microcracks in a systematic fashion and eventually build a realistic model for ultrasonic wave propagation study for concrete.

Every day should be Veterans Day
When thinking about Veterans Day in the traditional manner, people see parades, flag waving, speeches, special ceremonies and an expressed appreciation by the media and the general public to our veterans.
As a combat veteran, I see the designated Veterans Day as a highlight to the other 364 Veterans Days in the year. Not one day of the year, but every day. It reminds me that the wounded warriors are scarred every day. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice are gone every day, and not just one day of the year.
During my 23 years of active military service, I spent two years in schools and one year at a shore station in California. The remaining 20 years were spent on various deployments mostly in the Orient and on foreign duty ashore in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Korea. My sea time was spent on a surveillance ship and five destroyer types "visiting" more than 30 countries. I retired in 1982.
For the past 31 years and today, I continue to assist in the development, test and support of communications and battlefield radar systems for the U.S. Army and international partners.
At any time, when someone acknowledges me as a veteran, it heightens that inner pride of having done my duty, sacrificed much and done so honorably.
Those of us who served, and those who continue to serve, can be proud to have performed our call to duty.
We are veterans always.
– Irv Trinkle is a retired senior chief in the U.S. Navy and a Buena Park resident.
Veterans deserve thanks for sacrifices
I served in the U.S. Navy from 1951 to 1955 aboard a Navy ship in Korean waters near Pusan. I volunteered to join the Navy so I wouldn't be drafted into the Army.
To me, Veterans Day is a day to remember and honor all of who served our country in all wars.
One way they should be honored is by our great country taking care of their medical needs (physical and mental needs). No veteran should do without help and care.
All of our citizens need to realize, and remember, the sacrifices that our veterans made – especially the vets who were in battle zones and gave so much.
Veterans Day is a special day for those who gave their all so everyone can live free.
Remember: Freedom is not free – we all sacrificed.
– Joe Zapata lives in Cypress.
Remember military and their families
On Veterans Day, I think of all my family and friends who have served our country in the military.
These men and women's sacrifices enabled our country to become a democracy more than 200 years ago. Those who followed them over the years served in many conflicts around the world and kept America safe and free.
It is fitting that we remember and honor our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen for keeping the peace and fighting when called upon.
One of my great-great-great-grandfathers was a colonel in the Revolutionary Army. Each succeeding generation has served our country.
My family is but one example of the millions of families that have sent their loved ones to war and kept the homeland safe.
We need to remember and salute those who are serving and the millions still living who have served in the past on this Veterans Day.
– Dennis Salts lives in Buena Park.
