Ukraine's Hungarian minority threatened by new education law
(14 Nov 2018) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
ASSOCIATED PRESS - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Velyka Dobron - 19 October 2018
1. Various of school children in class at Hungarian school
2. Pot holding pencils and small Ukrainian flag
3. Various of school children in class at Hungarian school
4. Children sitting by walls under signs
5. Pan left of signs
6. Children playing in front of signs
7. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Jozsef Kantor, principal, Velyka Dobron High School:
How the law on education was passed: originally it was a much tamer version. For the second reading, some 3,000 or so amendments were submitted which totally changed its meaning.
8. Children walking in school corridor
9. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Jozsef Kantor, principal, Velyka Dobron High School:
The language of elementary school education is the one that could remain Hungarian. Then, according to the first reading, in three years we would gradually have to change to education in the Ukrainian language in grades 5-10.
10. Various of class held in Hungarian

13. Ukrainian flag flowing in wind
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Anna Novosad, head of Directorate for Strategic Planning and European Integration:
It is widely known that education is the fundament to social cohesion, which is also the fundament of security in the country. We have seen the case with Crimea, which was illegally annexed by the Russian Federation, which then started the war against Ukraine. And one of the reasons why it was so isolated was also the question of language. The kids were just disintegrated and the rest of the society were just disintegrated from Ukraine. It was also partly a fall of Ukrainian state and this is something that we would like not to repeat in the western part of our country.
15. People walking in corridor
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Anna Novosad, head of Directorate for Strategic Planning and European Integration:
Of course, we do admit, however, that we have to make the textbooks better. We have to make their content better, we have to make it more fit to the reality of the 21st century. We also have to make it fit to the needs of those kids whose native language is not Ukrainian.

The future of my child is what's worrying me, what's gonna happen to her in the coming period because the situation is not easy.
23. Rebeka Dzjapko playing the violin
24. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Zsuzsanna Dzjapko, local resident
I'd have a few words with the person who would not like me speaking Hungarian. Anyway, you already know what language you should speak to whom.
Berehove - 19 October 2018

27. SOUNDBITE (Hungarian) Laszlo Brenzovics, president of Transcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association and the only Hungarian member of the Ukrainian parliament:
There is a sort of specious policy, which besides narrowing the rights of all minorities, tries to portray the Hungarian minority as the enemy in Ukrainian public opinion.

Language Law: Ukrainian Government Assures Hungarian Minority
Hungarians in the Western Ukrainian Region of Transcarpathia are asking for clarity regarding what is being called the Ukrainian language law. The proposed educational reform would introduce Ukrainian as a mandatory language in schools. Some are worried that their native language could be at risk. Ukrainian officials, however, are trying to reassure that this is not the case.

Zakarpattia Oblast
The Transcarpathia or Zakarpattia Oblast (Ukrainian: Закарпатська область, translit. Zakarpats’ka oblast’; see other languages) is an administrative oblast (province) located in southwestern Ukraine, coterminous with the historical region of Carpathian Ruthenia. Its administrative center is the city of Uzhhorod. Other major cities within the oblast include Mukachevo, Khust, Berehove and Chop which is home to railroad transport infrastructure.
Zakarpattia Oblast was formally established on 22 January 1946, after Czechoslovakia ceded the territory of Subcarpathian Rus to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, under a treaty between Czechoslovakia and USSR. Some scholars say that during the Ukrainian independence referendum held in 1991, Zakarpattia Oblast voters were given a separate option on whether or not they favored autonomy for the region. Although a large majority favored autonomy, it was not granted. However, this referendum was about self-government status, not about autonomy (like in Crimea).

Uzghorod Town is So Different
Personal Freedom is Essential to a Sound Economy: Milton & Rose Friedman (1998)
Milton Friedman was born in Brooklyn, New York, to recent Jewish immigrants Sára Ethel (née Landau) and Jenő Saul Friedman, from Beregszász in Carpathian Ruthania, Kingdom of Hungary (now Berehove in Ukraine), both of whom worked as dry goods merchants. Shortly after Milton's birth, the family relocated to Rahway, New Jersey. In his early teens, Friedman was injured in a car accident, which scarred his upper lip. A talented student, Friedman graduated from Rahway High School in 1928, just before his 16th birthday.
In 1932 Friedman graduated from Rutgers University, where he specialized in Mathematics and Economics and initially intended to become an actuary. During his time at Rutgers, Friedman became influenced by two economics professors, Arthur F. Burns and Homer Jones, who convinced him that modern economics could help end the Great Depression.
After graduating from Rutgers, Friedman was offered two scholarships to do graduate work — one in mathematics at Brown University and the other in economics at the University of Chicago. Friedman chose the latter, thus earning a Master of Arts degree in 1933. He was strongly influenced by Jacob Viner, Frank Knight, and Henry Simons. It was at Chicago that Friedman met his future wife, economist Rose Director. During the 1933–1934 academic year he had a fellowship at Columbia University, where he studied statistics with renowned statistician and economist Harold Hotelling. He was back in Chicago for the 1934–1935 academic year, working as a research assistant for Henry Schultz, who was then working on Theory and Measurement of Demand. That year, Friedman formed what would prove to be lifelong friendships with George Stigler and W. Allen Wallis.
Friedman was initially unable to find academic employment, so in 1935 he followed his friend W. Allen Wallis to Washington, where Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was a lifesaver for many young economists.[22] At this stage, Friedman said that he and his wife regarded the job-creation programs such as the WPA, CCC, and PWA appropriate responses to the critical situation, but not the price- and wage-fixing measures of the National Recovery Administration and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.[23] Foreshadowing his later ideas, he believed price controls interfered with an essential signaling mechanism to help resources be used where they were most valued. Indeed, Friedman later concluded that all government intervention associated with the New Deal was the wrong cure for the wrong disease, arguing that the money supply should simply have been expanded, instead of contracted.[24]
In the publication, A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960 by Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz, they argue that the Great Depression was caused by monetary contraction, which was the consequence of poor policymaking by the Federal Reserve System and the continuous crises of the banking system.
Rose Director Friedman (December, 1910 – 18 August 2009), also known as Rose D. Friedman and Rose Director, was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School. She was the wife of Milton Friedman (1912–2006), who won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics, and sister of Aaron Director (1901–2004). She is believed to have been born the last week of December, 1910; however, the birth records have been lost. She was born in Staryi Chortoryisk, in Ukraine, to the Director family, prominent Jewish residents.
Rose Friedman attended Reed College and later transferred to the University of Chicago where she received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree. After this she began to study for a doctorate in economics at the University of Chicago and completed all work necessary for the Ph.D. except for writing the dissertation. In her youth, she wrote articles with Dorothy Brady to justify the Keynesian vision of consumption. She received an honorary LL.D. in December 1986 from Pepperdine University.
With her husband, she co-wrote two books on economics and public policy, Free to Choose and Tyranny of the Status Quo, and their memoirs Milton and Rose D. Friedman, Two Lucky People, which appeared in 1998. Together they founded the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation, with the aim of promoting the use of school vouchers and freedom of choice in education. She also helped produce the PBS television series, Free to Choose, and assisted her husband in writing his 1962 political philosophy book Capitalism and Freedom.
When Milton received his Medal of Freedom in 1988, President George H. W. Bush said jokingly in his speech that Rose was known for being the only person to ever have won an argument against her husband. The Friedmans have two children, Janet and David.
Breaking news, October 31th, 2017
The presenter of News: Daniel Orlov
While criticizing Russia for West-2017, NATO is creating a grouping of troops that does not correspond to the scale of the exercises or any other military maneuvers. According to the information coming from the Western Military District of Russia, NATO soldiers were just 30 kilometers from the border of the Kaliningrad region, and the number of NATO troops is increasing. In early 2017, hundreds of tanks, artillery systems as well as other military equipment was delivered to Germany from the USA and then went to the Baltics. In Ukraine, in the city of Ochakov in Mykolaiv region, the construction of the US Marine Corps is in full swing. In Poland, NATO has already deployed a whole mechanized division, and by the end of 2017, the United States will transfer 76 Black Hawk, Apache and Chinook helicopters to Latvia. Military experts emphasize - this is a invasion grouping.
The US SecDef, Mattis, talked about the American and Kurdish losses in the operation of liberation of the Syrian city of Raqqa from ISIS. I believe that we have 1 KIA taking Raqqa, and the Kurds hava more than 600, the minister said. According to him, this indicates that the US does not conduct active ground operations in Syria, but only helps the local military.
As we reported earlier, the forces of the Syrian Army continue to liberate Deir ez-Zor. The areas near the city stadium have been recaptured, operations continue in the second largest area of Hamidiyah, the special forces units are approaching the outskirts of the central park. In the conditions of combat in urban areas, government troops have many casualties - according to military intel, on October 30, 20 servicemen were killed. The number of ISIS militants killed are still unknown.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian servicemen from the Russian Centre for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in the Syrian Arab Republic delivered a large batch of food products to Aleppo. In addition, medical assistance was provided to 118 citizens.
An explosion occurred in Kabul on Tuesday. 13 people were killed, 13 others were injured. The suicide bomber blew himself up in the diplomatic quarter of Wazir-Akbar-Khan. Most of the dead and injured are civil servants. The area is cordoned off.
The Ukrainian nationalists of the Carpathian Sich company, fighting in the Donbass ATO zone, announced that they are holding a march, a historic conference and a rally in Transcarpathia on November 11-12. They plan to conduct a militaristic march of Glory of the Carpathian Sich and reward the militants who took part in the punitive operation in the Donbass, and then make an auto rally to the Hungarian inhabited city of Beregovo, where they plan to have a meeting. One of the leaders of the neo-Nazi group C14 said that the veterans of the ATO started preparing for the suppression of a possible Hungarian uprising in Transcarpathia.

Chasing Shadows + The Star, The Castle & The Butterfly
CHASING SHADOWS (52 minutes)
HUGO GRYN was 15 years old when he left his hometown and he never thought he would see it again. Once Berehovo was in Czechoslovakia, now it is in Ukraine - formerly the Soviet Union - and, until the making of this film, closed to visitors from the West. CHASING SHADOWS was made in 1989 and follows Hugo’s first return since 1945. It is a glimpse of a time when half the town was Jewish and evokes the world of Hugo’s childhood, but that world has all but vanished leaving only ghosts and shadows. This film, however, is not so much a lament as a celebration of the beauty and intensity of Jewish life in this all but forgotten household in the Family of Israel.

Should Prohibition Be Repealed? Milton Friedman on Urban Solutions (1997)
Friedman was born in Brooklyn, New York on July 31, 1912, to recent Jewish immigrants Sára Ethel (née Landau) and Jenő Saul Friedman,[21] from Beregszász in Carpathian Ruthenia, Kingdom of Hungary (now Berehove in Ukraine), both of whom worked as dry goods merchants. Shortly after Milton's birth, the family relocated to Rahway, New Jersey. In his early teens, Friedman was injured in a car accident, which scarred his upper lip.[22] A talented student, Friedman graduated from Rahway High School in 1928, just before his 16th birthday.[23][24]

George H. Nash, a leading historian of American conservatism, says that by, the end of the 1960s he was probably the most highly regarded and influential conservative scholar in the country, and one of the few with an international reputation.[74] Friedman allowed the libertarian Cato Institute to use his name for its biannual Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty beginning in 2001. A Friedman Prize was given to the late British economist Peter Bauer in 2002, Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto in 2004, Mart Laar, former Estonian Prime Minister in 2006 and a young Venezuelan student Yon Goicoechea in 2008. His wife Rose, sister of Aaron Director, with whom he initiated the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, served on the international selection committee.[75][76] Friedman was also a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Upon Friedman's death, Harvard President Lawrence Summers called him The Great Liberator saying ... any honest Democrat will admit that we are now all Friedmanites. He said Friedman's great popular contribution was in convincing people of the importance of allowing free markets to operate.[77]
In 2013 Stephen Moore, a member of the editorial forward of the Wall Street Journal said, Quoting the most-revered champion of free-market economics since Adam Smith has become a little like quoting the Bible. He adds, There are sometimes multiple and conflicting interpretations.

SUMMARY
=======
Milton Friedman (; July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006) was an American economist who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy. With George Stigler and others, Friedman was among the intellectual leaders of the second generation of Chicago price theory, a methodological movement at the University of Chicago's Department of Economics, Law School and Graduate School of Business from the 1940s onward. Several students and young professors who were recruited or mentored by Friedman at Chicago went on to become leading economists, including Gary Becker, Robert Fogel, Thomas Sowell and Robert Lucas Jr.Friedman's challenges to what he later called naive Keynesian theory began with his 1950s reinterpretation of the consumption function. In the 1960s, he became the main advocate opposing Keynesian government policies and described his approach (along with mainstream economics) as using Keynesian language and apparatus yet rejecting its initial conclusions. He theorized that there existed a natural rate of unemployment and argued that unemployment below this rate would cause inflation to accelerate. He argued that the Phillips curve was in the long run vertical at the natural rate and predicted what would come to be known as stagflation. Friedman promoted an alternative macroeconomic viewpoint known as monetarism and argued that a steady, small expansion of the money supply was the preferred policy. His ideas concerning monetary policy, taxation, privatization and deregulation influenced government policies, especially during the 1980s. His monetary theory influenced the Federal Reserve's response to the global financial crisis of 2007–2008.Friedman was an advisor to Republican President Ronald Reagan and Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. His political philosophy extolled the virtues of a free market economic system with minimal intervention. He once stated that his role in eliminating conscription in the United States was his proudest accomplishment. In his 1962 book Capitalism and Freedom, Friedman advocated policies such as a volunteer military, freely floating exchange rates, abolition of medical licenses, a negative income tax and school vouchers and opposed the war on drugs. His support for school choice led him to found the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, later renamed EdChoice.Friedman's works include monographs, books, scholarly articles, papers, magazine columns, television programs and lectures and cover a broad range of economic topics and public policy issues. His books and essays have had global influence, including in former communist states. A survey of economists ranked Friedman as the second-most popular economist of the 20th century following only John Maynard Keynes and The Economist described him as the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century [...] possibly of all of it.
