  • In a Divided Bosnia, Segregated Schools Persist
    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/01/world/europe/bosnia-schools-segregated-ethnic.html EUROPE | In a Divided Bosnia, Segregated Schools Persist In a Divided Bosnia, Segregated Schools Persist By Barbara Surk Dec. 1, 2018 TRAVNIK, Bosnia and Herzegovina — The school in this medieval town is divided by a flimsy metal fence and the legacy of war. Each day, children stream into the same school building, only to study separately, using separate textbooks, while learning in different languages. The ethnic Croatians from the suburbs are taught in the right side of the building. They are mostly Roman Catholics. The Bosnian Muslim students who live mostly in the city are taught in the left side. For many of the students, the split is an unwanted relic of Bosnia’s ethnic wars of the 1990s among Serbs, Croats and Muslims. “They don’t want us to socialize in school,” said Iman Maslic, 18, a Muslim student, ”so we go to cafes after class and hang out together there.” But unwanted or not, the divide is deepening in a Bosnia where nationalist politicians are again stoking ethnic rivalries. Students from the Bosniak side attending a class in the school in Travnik. For many of the students, the split is an unwanted relic of Bosnia’s ethnic wars of the 1990s among Serbs, Croats and Muslims. Laura Boushnak for The New York Times The school in Travnik, an ancient capital of the Ottoman province in the Balkans, is emblematic of a part of the country’s education system known as “Two Schools Under One Roof.” It was built in the late 19th century, when Bosnia was an outpost of the Austro‑ Hungarian empire.

    Bosnia and Herzegovina Page 1 of 7 Bosnia and Herzegovina International Religious Freedom Report 2008 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the entity Constitutions of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Federation) and the Republika Srpska (RS) provide for freedom of religion; the Law on Religious Freedom also provides comprehensive rights to religious communities. These and other laws and policies contributed to the generally free practice of religion. The Government generally respected religious freedom in practice. Government protection of religious freedom improved slightly during the period covered by this report; however, local authorities continued at times to restrict religious freedom of minority religious groups. Societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice persisted. Discrimination against religious minorities occurred in nearly all parts of the country. The number of incidents targeting religious symbols, clerics, and property in the three ethnic majority areas decreased. Local religious leaders and politicians contributed to intolerance and an increase in nationalism through public statements. Religious symbols were often misused for political purposes. A number of illegally constructed religious objects continued to cause tension and conflict in various communities. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom with the Government and leaders from the four traditional religious communities and emerging religious groups as part of its overall policy to promote human rights and reconciliation. The U.S. Embassy supported religious communities in their efforts to acquire permits to build new religious structures. The Embassy also assisted religious communities regarding restitution of property and supported several exchange, speaking, and cultural programs promoting religious freedom.

  • White Rock WF EA April 2011 Page 143-210
    143 Environmental Assessment 10.2 Communication Impacts 10.2.1 Background Wind turbines have the potential to interfere with television and radio broadcasting, mobile phone reception, microwave links and other radio links such as mobile and CB radio. There are three mechanisms by which wind turbines may cause interference: reflection or scattering, diffraction and near field effects. • Reflection or scattering – occurs when a signal becomes obstructed between the transmitter and a receiver, this could be due to a tower or moving blade component as shown in Figure 10-5. • Diffraction – occurs when a signal is both absorbed and reflected by an object in the signal path. • Near field effects – are caused by electromagnetic fields. This is no longer an issue due to advances in wind turbine technology and compliance with Electromagnetic Emission Standards. A communication impact assessment report was prepared by Epuron. The objectives of this investigation were to identify the potential for impacts from the proposed White Rock Wind Farm on existing telecommunications services in the vicinity of the project, and to identify appropriate mitigation strategies for potential impacts. The full investigation including a glossary of acronyms used in the investigation, maps, footnotes and references is presented in Appendix 6. The following approach was adopted to identify the potential impact of the project on telecommunications: • Identify holders of telecommunications licenses (under the Radiocommunications Act 1992) within a 25km radius of the project, as well as point-to-point links in the vicinity of the project, using information provided on the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) RADCOM database. • Provide written notification of the project and seek comments from each license holder identified via the ACMA RADCOM database search.

  • Windflow Technology: Interim Report 2010
    Windflow Technology: Interim Report 2010 Overview – Windflow’s major achievements in the first half of the 09/10 financial year were: • Installing and commissioning the remainder of Stage 3 to take Te Rere Hau (TRH) wind farm to a total of 65 turbines. • Delivering TRH turbines operating availability to above 93% for calendar 2009, and starting 2010 above 95% availability. • Submitting (as part of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Type Certification) the final documents to Lloyds Register in Britain for Class 1A Design Evaluation of the Windflow 500. • Gaining resource consent to develop the 25 turbine Long Gully wind farm in Wellington. Financial Results - Windflow continued to produce a positive gross profit for the half year. Consolidated revenue for the six months was $13.597 million (compared with $11.834 million for the previous comparable six month period). Direct production costs including turbine costs for the same period were $12.694 million (compared with $10.841 million for the previous year) resulting in a gross profit of $0.903 million for the period compared with $0.993 million for the previous year). The result is that Windflow has recorded a half-year loss of $1.628 million (compared with $ 1.082 million last year). Cash held at 31 December 2009 was $2.034 million, a reduction of $9.693 million for the six months. The reduction in cash held is attributable to an anticipated cash outflow during the latter stages of production, the dispute with NZ Windfarms, and some production related timing impacts. Windflow expects to generate a cash surplus from operations over the coming period with a corresponding improvement in its cash position.

  • Aid Memoir Aid Larry Hollingworth Larry
    Larry Hollingworth, current visiting professor of AID MEMOIR Humanitarian Studies at Fordham University in New York City, served as head of the UNHCR’s efforts in Bosnia throughout the lengthy conflict that plagued the former Yugoslavia in the early to mid 90’s. Aid Memoir follows Larry and his UN colleagues throughout multiple efforts to provide much needed relief for besieged, isolated, and desperate communities riddled by senseless killing and aggression. The characters encountered throughout are at times thrilling, at times frightening. Larry spares no details, however troubling, and therefore shines a telling light on the reality of the situation that most will remember to have watched on their television screens. Front cover. During the Siege of Sarajevo, between 1992 and 1995, the city was repeatedly hit by mortar strikes. The craters left behind by these explosions were filled with red resin LARRY HOLLINGWORTH to commemorate the casualties of the attacks. These war memorials were given the name Sarajevo Roses, after people noted that the patterns reminded them of flowers. Today, they serve as a reminder of the bloodshed and loss of AID MEMOIR that conflict. The Sarajevo Rose on the cover HOLLINGWORTH LARRY of this book is one of the city’s most emblematic war memorials found outside the entrance of the Tunnel of Hope under the Sarajevo Airport. The Refuge Press is an independent imprint founded in 2020, with an emphasis on humanitarian and social justice issues. It publishes at least four books, and an equal number of art catalogues, per year. Our books focus on humanitarian solutions as well as personal and professional reflections on global crises.
