To combat the problem, the country's government has suggested a radical proposal - that Roma children be sent to boarding schools in an attempt to integrate them into Slovak society. The plan has already been condemned as illegal by human rights groups and the European union. Yet many in Slovakia see it as an essential measure to improve Roma standards of life.

Like Bank of America's "Keep the Change" program, with every (participating) bank card purchase made, the purchase amount is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the change is transferred into a "savings" account. Through "Hungry for Change", however, the change will, instead, be transferred as a MICRO LOAN, NOT a donation, to an account used to buy school lunches for starving children in the developing world. According to the United Nations' World Food Programme, "Every five seconds, a child dies of hunger." Through "Hungry for Change", YOUR CHANGE literally SAVES LIVES. FOREVER. "Hungry for Change" links two simple, innovative, profound ideas to create one world-changing solution, with the potential to impact millions of lives--immediately and permanently. "Hungry for Change" participants will "effortlessly" lend their "spare change" as "Grameencredits" (via Grameen Bank), and in the process, feed children in the developing world through school-based lunch programs. HfC makes giving effortless, automatic, affordable (to everyone), and sustainable. "Hungry for Change" will link the "savings" program to an initiative like the WFP's "Fill the Cup", which for 25 US cents, provides a hungry child with a school-based meal of rice, beans or porridge. "Hungry for Change" makes it easy and effortless to give back to the world's children, by lending all, or a portion of your savings, to help permanently eradicate extreme poverty & hunger, and to help achieve universal primary education. The WFP states the problem clearly: Our planet produces enough food for every man, woman, and child to live healthy and productive lives. Yet, over 300 million of the world's children suffer needlessly from chronic hunger. With an average annual savings of only $300, every Hungry for Change participant could feed six school children for an entire year. Over time, with the help of its strategic partners like Grameen Bank, "Hungry for Change" will grow to include financial (& other) institutions around the world, and in just a few short years, impact the lives of millions of children and families.

"Our revolution is endangering all American possessions in Latin America. We are telling these countries to make their own revolution." — Che Guevara, October 1962 Castro later travelled to the United States to explain his revolution. He said, "I know what the world thinks of us, we are Communists, and of course I have said very clearly that we are not Communists; very clearly." Hundreds of suspected Batista-era agents, policemen and soldiers were put on public trial for human rights abuses and war crimes, including murder and torture. Most of those convicted in revolutionary tribunals of political crimes were executed by firing squad, and the rest received long prison sentences. One of the most notorious examples of revolutionary justice was the execution of over 70 captured Batista regime soldiers, directed by Raúl Castro after the capture of Santiago. For his part in Havana, Che Guevara was appointed supreme prosecutor in La Cabaña Fortress. This was part of a large-scale attempt by Fidel Castro to cleanse the security forces of Batista loyalists and potential opponents of the new revolutionary regime. Others were fortunate enough to be dismissed from the army and police without prosecution, and some high-ranking officials in the ancien régime were exiled as military attachés. In 1961, after the US-backed Bay of Pigs Invasion, the new Cuban government nationalized all property held by religious organizations, including the dominant Roman Catholic Church. Hundreds of members of the church, including a bishop, were permanently expelled from the nation, with the new Cuban government being declared officially atheist. Faria describes how the education of children changed as Cuba officially became an atheist state: private schools were banned and the progressively socialist state assumed greater responsibility for children. According to geographer and Cuban Comandante Antonio Núñez Jiménez, 75% of Cuba's best arable land was owned by foreign individuals or foreign (mostly U.S.) companies. One of the first policies of the newly formed Cuban government was eliminating illiteracy and implementing land reforms. Land reform efforts helped to raise living standards by subdividing larger holdings into cooperatives. Comandante Sori Marin, nominally in charge of land reform, objected and fled, but was eventually executed. Many other non-Marxist, anti-Batista rebel leaders were forced in to exile, purged in executions, or eliminated in failed uprisings such as that of the Beaton brothers. Shortly after taking power, Castro also created a Revolutionary militia to expand his power base among the former rebels and the supportive population. Castro also initiated Committees for the Defense of the Revolution or CDRs in late September 1960. Government informants became rampant within the population. CDRs were tasked with keeping "vigilance against counter-revolutionary activity." Local CDRs were also tasked with keeping a detailed record of each neighborhood's inhabitants' spending habits, level of contact with foreigners, work and education history, and any "suspicious" behavior. One of the persecuted groups were homosexual men. The Cuban dissident and exile Reinaldo Arenas wrote about such persecution in his autobiography, "Antes Que Anochezca", the basis for the film Before Night Falls. In February 1959, the Ministry for the Recovery of Misappropriated Assets (Ministerio de Recuperación de Bienes Malversados) was created. Cuba began expropriating land and private property under the auspices of the Agrarian Reform Law of 17 May 1959. Cuban lawyer Mario Lazo writes that farms of any size could be and were seized by the government. Land, businesses, and companies owned by upper- and middle-class Cubans were also nationalized, including the plantations owned by Fidel Castro's family. By the end of 1960, the revolutionary government had nationalized more than $25 billion worth of private property owned by Cubans. Cuba also nationalized all foreign-owned property, particularly American holdings, in the nation on 6 August 1960. The United States, in turn, responded by freezing all Cuban assets in the United States, severing diplomatic ties, and tightening the embargo on Cuba, which is still in place as of 2011. In response to the acts of the Eisenhower administration, Cuba turned to the Soviet Union for support. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Revolution Tags: 1895, 1959, 20th, america, ancient, bbc, biography, caribbean, castro, causes, century, civil, communist, cuba, cuban, cultural, culture, documentary, documentary part, durham, educational, europe, facts, fidel, heritage, historical, history, illusion, latin, menu, month, museum, optical, peasant, poverty, pre-revolutionary, project, relations, religion, revolution, roman, russia, salsa, society, states, summary, timeline, united, warfare, wiki, world war 1 Downloads - Last from: http://downthisvideo.com/ (Your Blog here!)

The Ravidassia Religion was established after the Vienna incident (in Shri Guru Ravidass Temple, Austria), where Religious Peace-minded Saints and the congregation were brutally attacked by Caste-freak Sikhs. Dalits all over the world felt that it was time for a separate Religion. http://www.gururavidassguruji.com/imh.JPG JAGATGURU SATGURU RAVIDASS JI MAHARAJ, the famous untouchable saint-poet of the 15th-16th century. Satguru Ravidass Ji taught the lessons of universal brotherhood, tolerance, message of love your neighbour. He is by far the most revered among the scheduled castes, especially dalits of Northwest and Central India. Although they occupy the very bottom of the social hierarchy, the Chamars and other Untouchable groups who worship Guru Ravidass Ji do not passively accept their inferior status. Their worship of Satguru Ravidass Ji is the manifestation of a dissident socioreligious ideology. The mere mention of his name evokes a sense of confidence and self-respect among them. So much so that a large number of them prefer to be identified as 'Ravidassia' rather than be known by their customary caste titles colored with derogatory connotations. Although in the past Ravidassia's low status may have presented a problem, his present-day admirers strive to affirm it, not deny it. They are popularly known as Ravidassias. Religion: The Ravidassia Religion, Religious symbol: (ਹਰਿ) Har (means Supreme Lord, God ), Religious book: Amritbani Satguru Ravidass Ji, Salutation: Jai Gurdev, Ultimate Place of Pilgrimage: Satguru Ravidass Janam Sthan Mandir, at Seer Govardhanpur, Varanasi U.P., Objectives: To propagate the Bani and teachings of Satguru Ravidass Ji. Besides, the teachings and thought of Maharishi Bhagwan Balmik Ji, Satguru Namdev Ji, Satguru Kabir Ji, Satguru Trilochan Ji, Satguru Sain Ji, Satguru Sadna Ji would also be propagated.

In this video Mark Horvath, founder of InvisiblePeople.tv rips through the numbers: - 50% of the homeless population are women and children. - 39% are kids under the age of 18 - more than a million foreclosures are expected this year There is a "perfect storm of homelessness" coming. Soon! So let's start now. Share this video with your friends. Share one or two or ten of the videos on this page with your coworkers and neighbors. Spread the word. Fight poverty. End homelessness. Make the invisible visible. Everyone on the streets has their own story, some made bad decisions, others were victims, but none of them deserve what they have been left with, and it is a reflection of our own society that we just leave them there. Please always remember, the homeless people you'll ignore today were much like you not so long ago.

Isolated pockets in central Appalachia have three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, cancer and chronic depression [ FEBRUARY 2009 ] CLICK TO WATCH THE ENTIRE DOCUMENTARY : http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6877502 __________________________ The oldest mountains in America are rich in natural beauty with their raging creeks, steep hollows and old pines. They are also one of the poorest, most disadvantaged regions in America. Central Appalachia has up to three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, cancer and chronic depression. But everywhere in these hills, there are also young fighters filled with courage and hope. Settled by tough pioneers who clawed their way over the Appalachian Mountains to expand America's borders, the region has produced some of the fiercest military fighters the country has seen. Like their ancestors before them, the children of the mountains are born fighters, and for two years, ABC News has documented the unique challenges some of these rural children face as they chase after their dreams. Courtney, 12, hopes for a home for her and her family. "We're not like other people, we can't afford food after food after food," she said.

[View \| Download]	Brother can you spare a dime? Tom Waits Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", also sung as "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?", was one of the best-known American songs of the Great Depression. Written in 1931 by lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and composer Jay Gorney, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" was part of the 1932 musical New Americana. It became best known, however, through recordings by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee. Both versions were released right before Franklin Delano Roosevelt's election to the presidency and both became number one hits on the charts. The Warner Bros. Crosby recording became the best-selling record of its period, and came to be viewed as an anthem of the shattered dreams of the era. A compilation was released in 1993 of recordings by various artists, including Tom Waits. The song was also recorded more recently by the singer George Michael for his album Songs from the Last Century and by Peter Yarrow in his album "Hard Times". Judy Collins also include a recording of the song on her 1975 album Judith.

[View \| Download]	Islamic Crusades 4: Lessons From the Thai Jihad NOTE: WHY DO I USE THE WORD "CRUSADE"? In the two years since I posted this series I have received messages from many Christians stating that they are offended by the word "crusade" (a derivation of "cross") being associated with Islamic violence. I chose to use that word because The Crusades are something that most in the post-modern, politically correct West recognize as "evil." Many westerners are still not acquainted with the real meaning of words like "jihad," "shariah," "dhimmis", etc. Hopefully in 2010 more people DO understand the true meaning of those words. In short, I chose the word "crusades" to highlight that Christians were not the only ones who fought religious wars of conquest. My intention was not to insult Christianity. Christianity is a religion of peace that is sometimes used by extremists to justify violence. Islam is a religion of war. I pray for the day when these videos are no longer needed. Until that day I will keep the name "Islamic Crusades." For complete links/references/commentary visit the Occidental Soapbox blog: http://occidentalsoapbox.blogspot.com/2008/10/islamic-crusades-episode-4-lessons-from.html I created the Islamic Crusades series to provide a counterpoint to the Christian Crusades. My goal was to remind a self-loathing West that our alleged sins are not to blame for the Islamic aggression we see today. Thus far I have covered episodes in the Middle Ages that took place parallel to the Crusades, in which Muslims embarked upon Jihad and committed atrocities against Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians. A second means to the same conclusion is to expose situations in which Muslims are in conflict with non-Western peoples. These conflicts have nothing to do with the baggage of Christianity, the Crusades, European colonialism or any other canard that apologists cite to excuse Muslim violence against the West, yet they unfold in much the same way.

Like Bank of America's "Keep the Change" program, with every (participating) bank card purchase made, the purchase amount is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the change is transferred into a "savings" account. Through "Hungry for Change", however, the change will, instead, be transferred as a MICRO LOAN, NOT a donation, to an account used to buy school lunches for starving children in the developing world. According to the United Nations' World Food Programme, "Every five seconds, a child dies of hunger." Through "Hungry for Change", YOUR CHANGE literally SAVES LIVES. FOREVER. "Hungry for Change" links two simple, innovative, profound ideas to create one world-changing solution, with the potential to impact millions of lives--immediately and permanently. "Hungry for Change" participants will "effortlessly" lend their "spare change" as "Grameencredits" (via Grameen Bank), and in the process, feed children in the developing world through school-based lunch programs.

"Hungry for Change" makes it easy and effortless to give back to the world's children, by lending all, or a portion of your savings, to help permanently eradicate extreme poverty & hunger, and to help achieve universal primary education. The WFP states the problem clearly: Our planet produces enough food for every man, woman, and child to live healthy and productive lives. Yet, over 300 million of the world's children suffer needlessly from chronic hunger. With an average annual savings of only $300, every Hungry for Change participant could feed six school children for an entire year.

"Our revolution is endangering all American possessions in Latin America. We are telling these countries to make their own revolution." — Che Guevara, October 1962 Castro later travelled to the United States to explain his revolution. He said, "I know what the world thinks of us, we are Communists, and of course I have said very clearly that we are not Communists; very clearly." Hundreds of suspected Batista-era agents, policemen and soldiers were put on public trial for human rights abuses and war crimes, including murder and torture. Most of those convicted in revolutionary tribunals of political crimes were executed by firing squad, and the rest received long prison sentences. One of the most notorious examples of revolutionary justice was the execution of over 70 captured Batista regime soldiers, directed by Raúl Castro after the capture of Santiago. For his part in Havana, Che Guevara was appointed supreme prosecutor in La Cabaña Fortress. This was part of a large-scale attempt by Fidel Castro to cleanse the security forces of Batista loyalists and potential opponents of the new revolutionary regime. Others were fortunate enough to be dismissed from the army and police without prosecution, and some high-ranking officials in the ancien régime were exiled as military attachés. In 1961, after the US-backed Bay of Pigs Invasion, the new Cuban government nationalized all property held by religious organizations, including the dominant Roman Catholic Church. Hundreds of members of the church, including a bishop, were permanently expelled from the nation, with the new Cuban government being declared officially atheist. Faria describes how the education of children changed as Cuba officially became an atheist state: private schools were banned and the progressively socialist state assumed greater responsibility for children. According to geographer and Cuban Comandante Antonio Núñez Jiménez, 75% of Cuba's best arable land was owned by foreign individuals or foreign (mostly U.S.) companies. One of the first policies of the newly formed Cuban government was eliminating illiteracy and implementing land reforms. Land reform efforts helped to raise living standards by subdividing larger holdings into cooperatives. Comandante Sori Marin, nominally in charge of land reform, objected and fled, but was eventually executed. Many other non-Marxist, anti-Batista rebel leaders were forced in to exile, purged in executions, or eliminated in failed uprisings such as that of the Beaton brothers. Shortly after taking power, Castro also created a Revolutionary militia to expand his power base among the former rebels and the supportive population. Castro also initiated Committees for the Defense of the Revolution or CDRs in late September 1960. Government informants became rampant within the population. CDRs were tasked with keeping "vigilance against counter-revolutionary activity." Local CDRs were also tasked with keeping a detailed record of each neighborhood's inhabitants' spending habits, level of contact with foreigners, work and education history, and any "suspicious" behavior. One of the persecuted groups were homosexual men. The Cuban dissident and exile Reinaldo Arenas wrote about such persecution in his autobiography, "Antes Que Anochezca", the basis for the film Before Night Falls. In February 1959, the Ministry for the Recovery of Misappropriated Assets (Ministerio de Recuperación de Bienes Malversados) was created. Cuba began expropriating land and private property under the auspices of the Agrarian Reform Law of 17 May 1959. Cuban lawyer Mario Lazo writes that farms of any size could be and were seized by the government. Land, businesses, and companies owned by upper- and middle-class Cubans were also nationalized, including the plantations owned by Fidel Castro's family. By the end of 1960, the revolutionary government had nationalized more than $25 billion worth of private property owned by Cubans. Cuba also nationalized all foreign-owned property, particularly American holdings, in the nation on 6 August 1960. The United States, in turn, responded by freezing all Cuban assets in the United States, severing diplomatic ties, and tightening the embargo on Cuba, which is still in place as of 2011. In response to the acts of the Eisenhower administration, Cuba turned to the Soviet Union for support. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Revolution Tags: 1895, 1959, 20th, america, ancient, bbc, biography, caribbean, castro, causes, century, civil, communist, cuba, cuban, cultural, culture, documentary, documentary part, durham, educational, europe, facts, fidel, heritage, historical, history, illusion, latin, menu, month, museum, optical, peasant, poverty, pre-revolutionary, project, relations, religion, revolution, roman, russia, salsa, society, states, summary, timeline, united, warfare, wiki, world war 1 Downloads - Last from: http://downthisvideo.com/ (Your Blog here!)

The Ravidassia Religion was established after the Vienna incident (in Shri Guru Ravidass Temple, Austria), where Religious Peace-minded Saints and the congregation were brutally attacked by Caste-freak Sikhs. Dalits all over the world felt that it was time for a separate Religion. http://www.gururavidassguruji.com/imh.JPG JAGATGURU SATGURU RAVIDASS JI MAHARAJ, the famous untouchable saint-poet of the 15th-16th century. Satguru Ravidass Ji taught the lessons of universal brotherhood, tolerance, message of love your neighbour. He is by far the most revered among the scheduled castes, especially dalits of Northwest and Central India. Although they occupy the very bottom of the social hierarchy, the Chamars and other Untouchable groups who worship Guru Ravidass Ji do not passively accept their inferior status. Their worship of Satguru Ravidass Ji is the manifestation of a dissident socioreligious ideology. The mere mention of his name evokes a sense of confidence and self-respect among them. So much so that a large number of them prefer to be identified as 'Ravidassia' rather than be known by their customary caste titles colored with derogatory connotations. Although in the past Ravidassia's low status may have presented a problem, his present-day admirers strive to affirm it, not deny it. They are popularly known as Ravidassias. Religion: The Ravidassia Religion, Religious symbol: (ਹਰਿ) Har (means Supreme Lord, God ), Religious book: Amritbani Satguru Ravidass Ji, Salutation: Jai Gurdev, Ultimate Place of Pilgrimage: Satguru Ravidass Janam Sthan Mandir, at Seer Govardhanpur, Varanasi U.P., Objectives: To propagate the Bani and teachings of Satguru Ravidass Ji. Besides, the teachings and thought of Maharishi Bhagwan Balmik Ji, Satguru Namdev Ji, Satguru Kabir Ji, Satguru Trilochan Ji, Satguru Sain Ji, Satguru Sadna Ji would also be propagated.

In this video Mark Horvath, founder of InvisiblePeople.tv rips through the numbers: - 50% of the homeless population are women and children. - 39% are kids under the age of 18 - more than a million foreclosures are expected this year There is a "perfect storm of homelessness" coming. Soon! So let's start now. Share this video with your friends. Share one or two or ten of the videos on this page with your coworkers and neighbors. Spread the word. Fight poverty. End homelessness. Make the invisible visible. Everyone on the streets has their own story, some made bad decisions, others were victims, but none of them deserve what they have been left with, and it is a reflection of our own society that we just leave them there. Please always remember, the homeless people you'll ignore today were much like you not so long ago.

Isolated pockets in central Appalachia have three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, cancer and chronic depression [ FEBRUARY 2009 ] CLICK TO WATCH THE ENTIRE DOCUMENTARY : http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6877502 __________________________ The oldest mountains in America are rich in natural beauty with their raging creeks, steep hollows and old pines. They are also one of the poorest, most disadvantaged regions in America. Central Appalachia has up to three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, cancer and chronic depression. But everywhere in these hills, there are also young fighters filled with courage and hope. Settled by tough pioneers who clawed their way over the Appalachian Mountains to expand America's borders, the region has produced some of the fiercest military fighters the country has seen. Like their ancestors before them, the children of the mountains are born fighters, and for two years, ABC News has documented the unique challenges some of these rural children face as they chase after their dreams. Courtney, 12, hopes for a home for her and her family. "We're not like other people, we can't afford food after food after food," she said.

[View \| Download]	Brother can you spare a dime? Tom Waits Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", also sung as "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?", was one of the best-known American songs of the Great Depression. Written in 1931 by lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and composer Jay Gorney, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" was part of the 1932 musical New Americana. It became best known, however, through recordings by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee. Both versions were released right before Franklin Delano Roosevelt's election to the presidency and both became number one hits on the charts. The Warner Bros. Crosby recording became the best-selling record of its period, and came to be viewed as an anthem of the shattered dreams of the era. A compilation was released in 1993 of recordings by various artists, including Tom Waits. The song was also recorded more recently by the singer George Michael for his album Songs from the Last Century and by Peter Yarrow in his album "Hard Times". Judy Collins also include a recording of the song on her 1975 album Judith.

[View \| Download]	Islamic Crusades 4: Lessons From the Thai Jihad NOTE: WHY DO I USE THE WORD "CRUSADE"? In the two years since I posted this series I have received messages from many Christians stating that they are offended by the word "crusade" (a derivation of "cross") being associated with Islamic violence. I chose to use that word because The Crusades are something that most in the post-modern, politically correct West recognize as "evil." Many westerners are still not acquainted with the real meaning of words like "jihad," "shariah," "dhimmis", etc. Hopefully in 2010 more people DO understand the true meaning of those words. In short, I chose the word "crusades" to highlight that Christians were not the only ones who fought religious wars of conquest. My intention was not to insult Christianity. Christianity is a religion of peace that is sometimes used by extremists to justify violence. Islam is a religion of war. I pray for the day when these videos are no longer needed. Until that day I will keep the name "Islamic Crusades." For complete links/references/commentary visit the Occidental Soapbox blog: http://occidentalsoapbox.blogspot.com/2008/10/islamic-crusades-episode-4-lessons-from.html I created the Islamic Crusades series to provide a counterpoint to the Christian Crusades. My goal was to remind a self-loathing West that our alleged sins are not to blame for the Islamic aggression we see today. Thus far I have covered episodes in the Middle Ages that took place parallel to the Crusades, in which Muslims embarked upon Jihad and committed atrocities against Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians. A second means to the same conclusion is to expose situations in which Muslims are in conflict with non-Western peoples. These conflicts have nothing to do with the baggage of Christianity, the Crusades, European colonialism or any other canard that apologists cite to excuse Muslim violence against the West, yet they unfold in much the same way.
