Corruption has a devastating impact on developing and transition countries, with estimates of 20 billion to 40 billion per year stolen by public officials, a figure equivalent to 20 to 40 percent of flows of official development assistance. The return of the proceeds of corruption--asset recovery--can have a significant development impact. Returns can be used directly for development purposes, such as improvements in the health and education sectors and reintegration of displaced persons, with additional benefits of improved international cooperation and enhanced capacity of law enforcement an

Compensation for the Stolen Generations has remained a key recommendation for reparation and an issue of national and international concern. This report focuses on compensating those directly affected by past policies of forced removal in the Northern Territory. This report finds that monetary compensation is indeed due for the hurt and harm suffered by those removed. Removal constituted a fundamental breach of human rights and is now accepted as within the definition of cultural genocide. Issues relating to what happened once removed, whilst not the focus of this report are nonetheless important in representing the damage caused and the extent it has contributed to ongoing problems for individuals and communities. Over the past decade , the Government has taken a number of step s towards reconciliation including the national apology and funding for counselling and parenting services. Evidence however suggests that these measures have been inadequate in fully responding to the needs of the Stolen Generations. This report has collected and documented this evidence and concludes that there is strong moral and legal basis for providing compensation and that there is a growing urgency to resolve this issue as the Stolen Generations have little time left. A major element in this report as acknowledged in its title is the Commonwealth's responsibility for the Northern Territory. Detailed examination of the laws between 1911 and 1978 reveal the Commonwealth's intention to control the Northern Territory Indigenous population. Further, given that State Governments have begun compensating the Stolen Generations in their respective states, it i s accepted that the only government liable to pay compensation to the Northern Territory is the Commonwealth Government. Five recommendations are made in this report and in short they urge the Government to implement a compensation scheme for the Northern Territory by creating a Federal Bill. A Stolen Generations fund of $20-25 million is to be created and these moneys are to be divided equally amongst living members of the Northern Territory Stolen Generations upon application and successful assessment of eligibility by a Tribunal appointed for this purpose. These recommendations are based on existing state and federal compensation initiatives. A significant aspect of this report is an in-depth scrutiny of each of the arguments advanced by the Commonwealth in support of their position of no compensation. Its purpose is to show that once the rationale for compensation is provided and Commonwealth responsibility is established, there is no sound argument by which the Government can rely to refuse to provide compensation. This together with a legislative framework appropriate to the Northern Territory presents a means by which realization of this issue can finally be achieved

I work in a place of death. People come here to die, and my co-workers and I care for them as they make their journeys. Sometimes these transitions take years or months. Other times, they take weeks or some short days. I count the time in shifts, in scheduled state visits, in the sham monthly meetings I never attend, in the announcements of the "Employee of the Month" (code word for best ass-kisser of the month), in the yearly pay increment of 20 cents per hour, and in the number of times I get called into the Human Resources office. The nursing home residents also have their own rhythms. Their time is tracked by scheduled hospital visits; by the times when loved ones drop by to share a meal, to announce the arrival of a new grandchild, or to wait anxiously at their bedsides for heartwrenching moments to pass. Their time is measured by transitions from processed food to pureed food, textures that match their increasing susceptibility to dysphagia. Their transitions are also measured by the changes from underwear to pull-ups and then to diapers. Even more than the loss of mobility, the use of diapers is often the most dreaded adaptation. For many people, lack of control over urinary functions and timing is the definitive mark of the loss of independence. Adapted from the source document.

ABSTRACTPurposeThe aim of this paper was to explore the experiences of adults with developmental disabilities (AWDD) in accessing and utilizing dental services in Vancouver, BC.MethodsParticipants were either self‐advocates or parents/caregivers who discussed their experiences in five focus group discussions with 20 participants in total (age range 17–60 years, 2 males). Each focus group lasted on average 40 minutes. Transcripts were coded for thematic analysis; the codes were organized into themes and finally into domains.ResultsSeven domains relating to the participants' experiences with dental care were identified, and included communication, trust, and respect as provided‐based domains to the quality of the dental experience for AWDD and their parents, while financial issues, transitional services, and waiting times were system‐based barriers to access to dental care for theses AWDD. Finally, what makes for a positive dental experience was shared in terms of acknowledging parent's role as advocates and making simple accommodations to see AWDD by the dental office.ConclusionsAccess to a care provider did not necessarily equate to satisfaction with quality of experience. Efforts have to focus on establishing communication and trust with AWDD patients as key to a positive dental experience. We encourage a global discussion on the need to better incorporate dental care for special needs individuals within dental school curricula.

"For the past six years, Whitney Dafoe has been confined to a bedroom in the back of his parents' home, unable to walk, to eat, to speak. The sound of music causes him pain. At one point, the formerly healthy, young, freelance photographer, faced starvation as his 6'3" frame withered to 115 pounds. In desperation, Whitney and his parents went from one specialist to another, and still no answers. Then, finally, a diagnosis: the mysterious disease myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Whitney's story is heartbreaking, but it's also one of redemption. It reaches far beyond just one family's harrowing tale. Today, ME/CFS affects between 1 and 2.5 million Americans--and 20 million people around the world. Those afflicted largely suffer in silence because the disease is little known and much misunderstood. The question lingers still whether it even exists outside the patient's mind. Often disbelieved, they're abandoned by family and friends. They lose their jobs, and battle with insurance companies over rising medical costs as the chronic disease continues on year after year. In one way, Whitney has been lucky. He could reach out to his father, a world renowned, scientist, for answers. This book is the story of one father's desperate hunt for the insidious illness that stole his son away. Invisible follows Ron as he unravels the molecular trail within his own son's donated blood and genome, to began to find answers. He confirms this is a biological disease and uncovers new possibilities for treatments and potentially a cure. At its heart, Invisible is about more than just cutting edge research or a race to find the cure for ME/CFS--it's about the unbreakable bond between a father and his son, and the lengths to which a parent will go to save their child's life"--

"When Europe's Great War engulfed the Ottoman Empire, Arab nationalists rose in revolt against their Turkish rulers and allied with the British on the promise of an independent Arab state. In October 1918, the Arabs' military leader, Prince Faisal, victoriously entered Damascus and proclaimed a constitutional government in an independent Greater Syria. Faisal won American support for self-determination at the Paris Peace Conference, but other Entente powers plotted to protect their colonial interests. Under threat of European occupation, the Syrian-Arab Congress declared independence on March 8, 1920 and crowned Faisal king of a "civil representative monarchy." Sheikh Rashid Rida, the most prominent Islamic thinker of the day, became Congress president and supervised the drafting of a constitution that established the world's first Arab democracy and guaranteed equal rights for all citizens, including non-Muslims. But France and Britain refused to recognize the Damascus government and instead imposed a system of mandates on the pretext that Arabs were not yet ready for self-government. In July 1920, the French invaded and crushed the Syrian state. The fragile coalition of secular modernizers and Islamic reformers that had established democracy was destroyed, with profound consequences that reverberate still. Using previously untapped primary sources, including contemporary newspaper accounts, reports of the Syrian-Arab Congress, and letters and diaries from participants, How the West Stole Democracy from the Arabs is a groundbreaking account of an extraordinary, brief moment of unity and hope-and of its destruction"--
