New Policy Statement
Solidarity with Garrett Felber (Please sign and circulate)
December 17, 2020 Historians for Peace H-Pad 0
H-PAD members and friends:
The University of Mississippi has fired Assistant Professor of History Garrett Felber, apparently in retaliation for his anti-racist scholarship, political organizing, and criticism of the university's administration and donors. A letter of support for Felber has already garnered signatures from some 2,400 scholars – in just one day. We encourage you to add your signature and to help spread the word among your colleagues. We must mount a strong response to this type of McCarthyism whenever we see it.
See HERE for the letter to Chancellor Glenn Boyce
You can add your name to the letter HERE
For a full list of signatures, see HERE.
For additional information on the case, see "UM Fires History Professor Who Criticizes 'Powerful, Racist Donors' And 'Carceral State'," Mississippi Free Press, December 15, 2020.
When announcing his firing on Twitter, Professor Felber asked supporters to show their solidarity by donating to the Study and Struggle Holiday Drive, which is collecting funds for toiletries, gifts for family, and other necessary supplies for people incarcerated in Mississippi. Study and Struggle is a four-month political education program on abolition and immigrant justice, which is part of Mississippi Freedom Winter. The project is a partnership between a national network of university faculty, students, and grassroots organizers to address the pressing humanitarian crises of incarceration and immigrant detention in Mississippi. You can donate here by Dec. 19th: Study and Struggle Holiday Drive.

Despite its name, the cold can happen anytime time of year. A cold is a virus. And according to the Mayo Clinic there are more than 100 types of cold viruses. Allergies share many of the same symptoms as colds and start acting up when your immune system has an adverse reaction to certain triggers. Here in Florida, those triggers may be present year round, thanks to our moderate climate.
Ed Neuzil, Board Certified Nurse Practitioner at Allergy Sinus & Asthma Family Health Center explains the difference between a cold and an allergy.

How come the polls were that far off?
For all the suspense and commotion over the year 2000 election and its importance in setting the stage for the 21st Century it did not actually get many more Americans to the voting booth than the lackluster 1996 election. In 1996 97,273274 Americans voted. So far 100,429,893 or only about 51% of the voting rolls voted in this year's presidential race.
There are still about a million votes, most of them absentee votes, still to be counted. Yet, media pundits are still making sweeping statements about the election, such as claiming that Al Gore "has won the popular vote."
No, he hasn't. At this point, no one has won anything. What we have are a lot of bumbling pundits on TV voicing their opinions about votes that have not yet been counted.
CNN's Jeff Greenfield, who clearly considers himself one of the best reporters out there, said aft er the Tuesday night debacle: "I can tell you one thing that's going to be recounted.and that's the way we count votes. I have a hunch that there's going to be enormous scrutiny about a system that calls a state for both candidates and then at (4 a.m. ET) winds up with neither."
Of course, Greenfield isn't doing any vote counting. A bunch of nameless, voiceless folks who usually serve the public with little appreciation or thanks are the people doing the vote counting. And it was people like Greenfield who were totally ignoring those nameless, voiceless vote counters, until they had made such a mess of the election that we will now probably NEVER know what the majority of the public actually wanted in the election.
By announcing Gore as the "winner" at 7:50 Eastern Standard Time, which was a couple of minutes before the polls closed in the east, and a full hour before they closed in the Florida panhandle which is in the Central Time Zone, the networks affected the vote. They had to know that was what they were doing.
In California, people who planned to vote when they got off work already had been told that Florida, Pennsylvania and New York had been won by Al Gore and many at Republican call banks urging voters to go vote got up and left the telephones. Why bother, when Jeff Greenfield and Dan Rather had already solemnly announced that the winner was Al Gore?
Based on polling data NBC led the pack in declaring Gore the winner in Florida on Tuesday at 7:50 PM. EST. Where did their information come from? At 7:50 P.M. not a single vote had been counted. Voter News Service, a consortium created by The Associated Press, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC announced Florida in Gore's camp from exit polls.
How come the polls were that far off? Did the so-called late attack on George Bush for a 24 year old OUI charge do more damage than we thought? Was it just some creative voter fraud? Was it primarily the Network's inaccurate reporting? As I pointed out yesterday, the networks continued for two hours proclaiming Florida "won" by Gore in spite of the fact the when the precincts began to announce its count George W. Bush was consistently ahead of Gore - sometimes by 4-5 points.
There is no doubt from the angry e-mail I 'm getting that many believe this was deliberate fraud on the part of the networks to hand the White House over to Al Gore as a continuation of the "Clinton -Gore" administration.
"The Battleground poll had been predicting at least a four percent lead for a month and a half prior to the election. Reliable polls before the election were giving GW six to seven points over Gore. Has the most reliable pollster suddenly become the least reliable? Did this margin just disappear or could it have been stolen?
"If you are going to steal a national election, you would focus on ten large states. That way you would minimize your chances of exposure and maximize your gains. Curiously, Gore's success was concentrated in about ten large states while he lost almost forty states to Bush.
"Anecdotes of vote fraud are starting to mount. In California, non-resident Latinos were sent what amounted to a virtual voter fraud kit, which, of course, also told them how important a Democrat victory would be for Latinos. A bus load of mentally retarded were shepharded to a voting station by a man wearing a union button, and, in a conservative district in Florida, a box full of ballots was found abandoned in a church, instead of being delivered to be counted. Are these incidents the tip of the iceberg? Is the Clinton regime the most corrupt in recent history?
"Do you believe that Hillary could jump from 45% to 57% in New York despite a complete disaster in the Middle East caused by her husband's legacy hunt and despite her close association with Arab organizations?
"The 2000 election must be a wake up call for the Republicans that MASSIVE voter fraud is to be expected. Clinton has redefined American politics, and we must think of things in Third World political terms from now on. Rush Limbaugh stated before the election that record levels of fraud would occur. Limbaugh half-jokingly predicted that people in foreign countries would be voting illegally in our election. Even that may not have been an exaggeration.
"GW Bush did not take the voter fraud threat seriously, and he very nearly lost the election as a result. His six to seven point margin over Gore was literally stolen by political hacks working in the shadows. If Bill Clinton and Al Gore would trade nuclear bomb secrets to Red China for illegal campaign donations in 1996, what in the name of all that's holy, keeps otherwise intelligent people from believing that the Democrat CAN AND WILL steal elections. Stealing one million votes in ten key states is like a traffic offense compared to committing treason by selling nuclear secrets. The Democrat Party IS completely capable of committing fraud on this massive a scale, and we had better find ways to prevent this in the future or else they will win next time."
"The Vice-President was on his way to give his thank-you-and-goodnight speech when he got a call on his cell phone: great news! In the grand tradition of the Clinton-Gore era, they'd found a loophole!
"The British, French, German and Russian governments had already issued their congratulations to Governor Bush and were offering the usual formulations about how much they were looking forward to working with him. And then the Gore campaign honcho Bill Daley stepped up to say that, what with the situation in Florida, there was going to be a recount."
"Nationally, Mr Gore actually won more votes than Mr Bush, carrying the popular vote by less than one percentage point - around 150,000 votes out of almost 100 million cast.
"But the popular vote was irrelevant since US presidential elections are decided on a state-by-state basis by the Electoral College, which came down to Florida."
"Unnerved slightly by the unresolved presidential election and concerned about a slowdown in profit growth for technology stocks, investors sent American financial markets lower in tepid trading Wednesday.
"London - World reaction to the bizarre course of the American election ranged from bemusement to contempt on Wednesday, with one commentator calling the American electoral system "idiotic".
"Even with 99,9 percent of the votes counted from Tuesday's balloting, no clear winner had emerged between the Democratic candidate, Al Gore, and his Republican challenger, George W Bush. Bush's apparent victory was put on ice for at least another day-and-a-half, pending a recount in Florida.
"World leaders who had rushed to congratulate Bush were forced to row back as Gore's hopes remained alive. The Dutch even officially retracted their congratulations. London - World reaction to the bizarre course of the American election ranged from bemusement to contempt on Wednesday, with one commentator calling the American electoral system 'idiotic'".
And now we have Al Gore promising a full-scale legal attack by a battalion of lawyers - at least 70 of them - and the ever present Rev. Jesse Jackson - who are descending on the state of Florida in his behalf.
With a million absentee votes yet to be counted, Al Gore's attempt a ballot hi-jacking isn't over yet.

Framed size: 34 x 26"
This evocative watercolor is an engaging work by the acclaimed American illustrator A. B. Frost. The subject is a couple bicycling quickly to escape a steady rain, and Frost has masterfully conveyed a sense of the gray autumnal atmosphere by employing a minimum of muted shades. The cold ambience of the fall day does not characterize the work as a whole, however, for the two cyclists give a sense of companionable intimacy in their shared purpose.
Frost embraced so many different genres that it is nearly impossible to relegate him to just one area, or even to characterize him as a master of one subject over another. During his long and celebrated career, he became a master of all subjects that he chose to undertake, ranging from sport¬ing scenes and still-lifes to portraits and cartoons. All of his works bear his lively and elegant touch, and his illustrations for "Uncle Remus" and "Alice in Wonderland" rank with n. C. Wyeth's illus¬trations of "Treasure Island" as the most important and memorable book illustrations in American History. His other illustrations were reproduced, normally as wood engravings, and published in such journals as Harper's Weekly, Scribner's and The Century, and it was in this manner that he became known to a wider public. Yet no published illustration can match the quality and immediacy of his original watercolors, which are quite rare. This particular work is especially charming: a superlative example of Frost's distinctive style. The companion work, A June Afternoon, is in the Library of Congress.

Help Teachers Raise Money For Park City Ed Foundation
KPCW | By Carolyn Murray
Published May 14, 2020 at 12:15 PM MDT
Park City Education Foundation
COVID-19 restrictions have shut down many events along the Wasatch Back. The Park City Education Foundation's popular – and most significant fundraiser – Running with Ed - was also cancelled this year.
However, as KPCW reports -- two Park City School District teachers aren't letting that get in the way of logging their own miles for education.
Amy Newman and Brad Gannon have participated in Running with Ed for years. Both have run the entire course solo multiple times. Most who run in the fundraising event, gather a relay team and take 3 to 6-mile legs totaling 39 miles. Newman and Gannon, though, will be running all 39 miles, stopping at each of Park City's seven schools. They hope to raise money for the Park City Education Foundation since the event cancellation will have a financial impact on many programs funded by the Ed Foundation.
Brad Gannon teaches CTE at Treasure Mountain Junior High. He says the Ed Foundation has enabled him to bring multiple programs to his students, such as building a maker space and funding hydroponic gardens. They've helped finance getting his students supplies needed to continue learning from home. Gannon isn't too worried about finishing the 39-mile course.
"Our goal is to follow the exact route. We're not sure we will be allowed up the Olympic stairs but we're going to try. I'm an active runner. I run year-round. I also do a lot of Back County skiing during the winter that keeps me plenty fit."
Amy Newman teaches PE, Health and Leadership to 8th graders at Treasure Mountain Junior High. Like Gannon, she's run the entire course multiple times.
"You know the fact not having Running with Ed is a huge loss for them. And I thought, you know, why not do something to help out in any way that we can? So Brad and I were talking-- it's like hey let's go do running with Ed and raise money for the Ed Foundation."
Newman says teaching PE remotely has been challenging but her students have engaged in ways she didn't expect. They're selecting their own workouts and writing about them. She says their reflections are heartfelt and she's inspired by their resilience.
"I check in with them through our reflections and how are you doing with your physical health, your mental health, your social health and how have things changed during this time? And, surprisingly a lot of my students are saying they've been working out more because they have more time and getting out and doing things with their families. A lot of students are hiking and biking with their families and they're finding other ways to socialize with their friends through technology and whatnot. And we've been doing a lot of mental health stuff as well, where students can do meditation, deal with everything going on mentally. They've been talking about journaling and doing meditations and reflections and it's just—oh my gosh-- I've been really proud of my students."
Teachers Brad Gannon and Amy Newman start their 39-mile run around 6 A.M. Saturday morning. They'll follow the Running with Ed course beginning and ending at the Basin Rec Field House. They hope to raise $10,000, all of which would go to the Park City Education Foundation's Teacher Grant's Program. They encourage spectators to follow their progress on social media and if possible, cheer them on, as they make their way to each of the district's schools. A link to donate and follow their progress can be found here.
Gap year Running With Ed T-shirts are also available on the Park City Education Foundation web site.

LEAKED DOCUMENTS: Turkey, The Most Powerful Muslim State In The World, Is Not Only Smuggling Weapons To Islamic Terrorists But Is Also Reviving Its Ancient Image Of The Beast
By Shoebat Foundation on January 14, 2015 in Featured, General
By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Exclusive)
The weird behavior of Erdogan has made it obvious that we have an emergence of a tyrant in the most powerful Muslim state in the world: Turkey. Turkey is transforming daily into an Antichrist state wanting to revive its old Ottoman image. To top it all, today leaked documents from Turkey proves beyond doubt that Turkey is sending arms to Muslim terrorists, specifically Al-Qaeda in which was ordered by Erdogan himself. The leaked information caused Erdogan to act vehemently to closing down access to the twitter accounts that leaked the information (more on that later).
When the Turkish palace picture first came out some people thought the version they were seeing was a joke – with the 16 warriors edited in. But the scene was real. The official Anatolia news agency explained the 16 warriors – some carrying spears or swords, a scene of the historical costume drama each represented one of the 16 empires of Turkish history from the Hunnic Empire, founded around 200 BC, to the Ottoman Empire which was dissolved in 1920.
Even the official emblem of Turkey's presidency is being revived which also has 16 stars, said to represent the same 16 empires.
Even the news does not understand what to make of the grand display of images from the past. One news media (RT) describes Mahmoud Abbas visit of Turkey as: "A grand reception in the likes of the Ottoman Empire has welcomed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to Anakara, as Turkey resurrected images of past warriors to greet the foreign leader."
There is no doubt that Erdogan is ressurecting the image of the wounded dead man of Europe and it is becoming clearer by the day, that the next four years are crucial which will reveal, Turkey is reviving the image of the wounded beast predicted by John. The wounded Empire of the Ottomans is reviving itself from its deadly wound. From the colors of the attire "fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow" (Revelation 9:17) to reviving the Ottoman emblem, this spells out prophecy is being fulfilled.
Scene from the movie "Fetih 1453″ or "Conquest 1453″, a Turkish blockbuster about the Ottoman Empire's destruction of the Eastern Roman Empire. "Fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow" (Revelation 9:17) were the colors of the Ottomans.
He has become Sultan Erdogan and we see the staged ceremony conducted at Ak Saray, the controversial presidential palace on the outskirts of Ankara that was opened at the end of October. Even the architecture is inspired by Seljuk architecture, it has 1,150 rooms and was built at a cost of around €490 million.
Erdogan is transforming into a megalomaniac expecting a war soon and just as Hitler's Führerbunker near the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, the palace houses state-of-the-art communications systems and has bunkers able to withstand biological, nuclear and chemical weapons attacks, according to local media. The presidential quarters are also defended from spies with additional anti-bug measures and security against wiretapping.
Like it was in the days of Hitler, there were many failed attempts on his life such as Operation Valkyrie, Operation Spark (1940) and Oster Conspiracy. Two weeks ago, a man unleashed a round of gunfire and hurled a grenade at the Istanbul offices of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan which the grenade did not go off. Police said the man was arrested almost immediately at Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul.
Erdogan is honed in and is so focused on Jerusalem and Israel with his anti-Israel rhetoric is also alarming. In his speech after welcoming the Palestinian leader, Erdogan addressed Western states, accusing them of hypocrisy over the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly's attack last week. He said the West is not doing enough to protect mosques from anti-Muslim attacks.
"The West's hypocrisy is obvious. As Muslims, we've never taken part in terrorist massacres. Behind these lie racism, hate speech and Islamophobia."
"Please, the administrations in those countries where our mosques are attacked need to take measures," he said. "Games are being played with the Islamic world, we need to be aware of this."
Erdogan's honing on Israel is seen when he strongly criticized the presence of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the rally commemorating the victims of the attacks in Paris.
"How can a man who has killed 25,000 people in Gaza with state terrorism wave his hand in Paris, like people are waiting in excitement for him to do so? How dare he go there?" Erdogan questioned.
All this despite that Over 40 world leaders joined French President Francois Hollande for a unity rally that drew 1.5 million people on Sunday.
Turkey is now associated in the world media with terror suspect Hayat Boumedienne, who was believed to have fled to Syria via Turkey. While Turkey denies any misdoings arguing that Boumedienne entered Turkey prior to the attacks in France, the widespread perception is that Turkey is a transit country for European jihadists, and the UN Security Council's report names Turkey as a base for arms smuggling to the region.
And today's Twitter and Facebook as well as many other websites face closure after anonymous accounts published new revelations about a case involving illegal arms shipments by Turkish spy agency to opposition groups in Syria, including al-Qaeda.
Documents were leaked on Twitter on Monday night by an anonymous Twitter user 'LazepeM' who claimed that the information came from General Staff and Gendarmerie investigations into the incident in which three Syria-bound trucks operated by the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) were halted in Turkey's southern province Adana's Ceyhan district province on Jan.19, 2014.
A Turkish court ordered the closure of all websites which published the proceedings, including social media networks Facebook and Twitter. However, media reports said, since Twitter has already suspended access to the account 'LazepeM' from Turkey.
The leaked military documents showed that the arms transport by three trucks was personally authorized by then prime minister and now President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
According to one document, then Adana Governor Hüseyin Avni Coş rushed to the scene when prosecutor Aziz Takçı ordered gendarmerie units to search and seize the three trucks, which were full of arms and ammunitions. The governor was quoted saying, "the trucks were moving under the orders of the Prime Minister [Erdoğan] and he would never allow any interference into these trucks, even if that costs him his life."
Governor Coş also said Erdoğan told him that the government would push a new law through Parliament that would allow MİT to carry arms legally. Shortly after the raids on the trucks, the government-endorsed bill cleared Parliament, granting MİT staff broader immunities from legal prosecution and allowed clandestine activities to be conducted by the agency.
Another document indicated that Adana police chief Cengiz Zeybekçi, under orders from the governor, also came to the scene with more than 400 riot police and interfered into the work of Gendarmerie units who were conducting the search of the trucks under the order of the local prosecutor who was at the scene.
Prosecutors who ordered the interception of the trucks were later removed from their posts and, on several occasions, appointed to less influential positions — a frequently employed tactic by Ankara to force bureaucrats to resign.
As we have monitored for decades now, Erdogan is transforming into a major threat transforming Turkey into an authoritarian regime with an iron fist. But the question is; is Erdogan the man whom John spoke of in Revelation 13:14: "He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived"?
After all, Erdogan is not only reviving such images, but he is changing set times and set laws in Turkey. Last month we reported how Erdogan is likely reviving the image of the beast.
Erdogan is reviving the Tughra, the Royal insignia of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire which usually has the name of the Sultan or the Bismillah "In the Name of Allah" from the Arabic as we stated in our book God's War on Terror and we explained in detail [ link here].

These marigolds are the best I have ever grown. Thick, compact healthy plants with lots of flowers. Easy to start from seed, minimal care after transplant, they just keep on going all season.


What is the best dog food? Veterinarians are often hit by that question from scads of anxious dog owners. Every dog owner wants to feed their dog with the best that is available. However, the sheer variety of dog foods and the conflicting views on the best dog diet can leave you quite perplexed. While some experts assert that home made food is best for dogs, others argue that commercial dog food is better. Anyway, we have witnessed a shift towards commercial dog food, owing much to the fast paced life that we all lead.
Even if you don�t find time out of your hectic work schedule to prepare a home made dog meal, you can still provide your pet with the best dog food. The markets are buzzing with prepackaged real dog foods that are much like the home made dog meals. Either you can purchase a prepackaged meal to provide balanced nutrition, or you may buy a specific diet according to your dog�s individual needs. Prepackaged meals are formulated from natural or organic ingredients and are usually available in a dry form. Though this variety of dog food is rather expensive, feeding the best dog food entails significantly lower veterinary bills.
For some dog owners prepackaged real food is simply unaffordable. In such a scenario, the most viable option is to either prepare a dog meal at home, or go in for canned dog foods. The most affordable and easily accessible variety of dog foods is the canned variety.
Canned dog foods come in handy during travel and in emergency. The best dog foods consist of real, whole and known ingredients. Canned foods typically contain preservatives, since there might be a significant time gap between manufacturing and consumption. In general, canned food manufacturers cannot dispense with the preservatives. Hence, you must ensure that the preservatives used are natural, such as vitamin E and C.
The best dog foods are not only available at your neighborhood grocery store, you can avail them at vet offices & feed stores and natural food stores too. However, it is imperative that you conduct a preliminary research so as to gauge the efficacy of the brand of your choice. Manufacturers that offer the best dog foods are always willing to heed to the customer�s concern and inquiries. They would keep dog owners updated on their latest products and would be glad to offer advice on canine nutrition.
Some dog owners, which feed their dog with the best dog foods around, are often flabbergasted to see their pet�s health deteriorate over time. What they miss out on is the fact that appropriate fluid intake is equally important as a good diet. An adult dog�s body comprises of 60% water, while a puppy has an overwhelming 84% water content. It�s surprising to know that even a mere 10% water loss can be detrimental to a dog�s health.
Feed and water your dog with the best dog foods and ensure appropriate fluid intake, and you would never have to be anxious about your dog�s wellbeing.

Tour of Laughter
Smiles for Vienna
25 years RED NOSES – how everything started
RED NOSES International
12.November 2019
Monica Culen, CEO, and Giora Seeliger, Artistic Director, founded RED NOSES in 1994 in Vienna.
Both of them were fascinated by the article they read about Michael Christensen in the "Life Magazine". He was the very first one to visit, as a clown, a hospital in New York at the beginning of the 90s.
As a child Monica Culen spent months in the hospital and even in a sanatorium for lung diseases, closed up without parents, care providers or friends. She experienced that long time there as being very scary and lonely. Together with the clownery expert and acting teacher Giora Seeliger, who knew the strength and vitality of humour due to his many years of stage experience all over Europe, they decided to found a healthcare clown organisation in Austria. Finding suitable artists in Austria for clown performances was extremely difficult at that time. Nevertheless, in November 1994, 6 professionally trained RED NOSES clowns entered a hospital for the first time. The first visits at the bedside of sick children in Vienna, Austria laid the foundation for a humorous "revolution" in the healthcare system.
"The doctors and the nursing staff were very sceptical at that time and feared that we would turn the daily routine of the hospital upside down," says Monica Culen, referring to the beginnings. "We had to be very diplomatic and convincing, but we also had to roll up our sleeves and ask for donations everywhere, because the finances were always tight."
"Today we are accepted and even involved in difficult treatments, because we can create a positive atmosphere. The medical staff and the families give feedback and say that the clowns reduce stress and anxiety during treatments, not only for the sick children, but also for the medical staff and the care providers, because all of them had a good laugh, "says Giora Seeliger, who is responsible for the high artistic quality of RED NOSES clowns.
Nowadays, it has become common practice that a paediatric ward also gets regular visits from clowns.
What RED NOSES does in the field
Today, the RED NOSES Group is the largest internationally operating healthcare clown organisation worldwide with a professional training programme under a common brand. After the start in Austria, the following RED NOSES organisations in Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Poland, Palestine and Lithuania have been very successfully established as well. It all started with six clowns in Austria in 1994. Today, about 400 clowns visit regularly 700 medical and social institutions in 10 countries. More than 6.5 million people have been reached during approximately 150,000 visits by the clowndoctors since RED NOSES has been founded.
The clown visits have an important impact on the psychosocial wellbeing and the recovery process of sick children. Professional clowns know how to create a positive and supportive atmosphere in the hospital room, which can uplift the emotional state, promoting the healing process and the acceptance of medical treatments. RED NOSES clowns have become more and more integrated into treatments and therapies that are scary for children. Their presence inspires a calm atmosphere, giving young patients the much needed impetus for self-confidence and courage and diverting the focus away from the medical procedure. Long-term patients (for example in oncology or orthopaedic wards) are mostly reduced to their illnesses. After a RED NOSES clowns intervention, this changes significantly. These interactions bring back their confidence and fill their emotional tank with laughter and playfulness. RED NOSES also visit multiple disabled children and youth, offering a special musical theatre programme. The young patients are involved gently in the performance. The beautiful songs and the colourful requisites, designed carefully for their special needs, give them the opportunity to express their feelings at their own pace and in their own way. Thus, their disability fades into the background.
The Elderly
RED NOSES senior programmes aim at contributing to the development of compassionate, respectful and person-centred care. We recognize the need to provide the highest standards of healthcare and wellbeing at all ages. Demographic changes and an ageing population are great challenges for modern societies. Although the proportion of older persons is constantly growing globally, their rights and the acknowledgement of their needs are often not sufficiently addressed. The goal should not only be to prolong life through scientific advances, but it should also be to secure good quality of life, including participation in and access to arts and cultural activities for the elderly.
People in Crisis
With the Emergency Smile program, RED NOSES can respond to the immense need for psychosocial support in crisis and disaster areas. In close collaboration with other aid organisations, clowns provide sensitive visits and humorous workshops to help children and their families cope with their challenging situation. Laughter is, therefore, perceived as a precious gift for the soul and it sets the scene for a more positive future.

Passenger traffic through Astana continues double-digit growth
Posted on August 6th, 2018 by ES in Air Transport, Kazakhstan
Astana airport continues to enjoy strong traffic growth, albeit at a slower rate than last year (Astana Airport)
Astana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (IATA code TSE) enjoyed a 17 per cent increase in passenger numbers in the first half of 2018 compared with the same period last year. Serving the capital of Kazakhstan, the airport handled 2.145 million passengers in the period. The double-digit growth is the result of a combination of the airport's ongoing infrastructure improvements and its open-skies regime, which was introduced in 2017.
The international traffic improvement rate at Kazakhstan's second biggest airport has outpaced the domestic segment, 26 per cent against 12 per cent growth. However, the number of passengers on domestic routes remains much higher, with 1.347 million passengers versus 798,600 on international journeys. The number of aircraft movements increased 11 per cent to 14,400.
Last year a new passenger terminal became operational at Astana, boosting its annual capacity from 3.6 million to 8.2 million passengers, equalling roughly half of the country's total population. Traffic is projected to reach eight million passengers by 2025.
The open-skies regime, introduced in 2017 prior to the Expo 2017 world fair, has contributed to the pattern of traffic growth by attracting new carriers, such as LOT Polish Airlines, Hungarian low-cost carrier (LLC) Wizz Air, Air China and Turkey's Atlasjet. Kazakhstan's air gateway currently handles 160 daily flights to 36 international and 21 domestic destinations.
The airport has been enjoying strong growth since last year, when the growth rate was boosted by the Expo 2017. In 2017, Astana airport served 4.294 million passengers, up 25 per cent on the previous year. International traffic growth reached 39 per cent to 2.581 million passengers, whereas domestic segment climbed 18 per cent in the calendar year.
For the first quarter of this year, the airport registered a 22 per cent traffic improvement to 969,000 passengers.

I recently had my BMW M3 tinted by Lucas at Accu-Tint in Madison. I drove all the way from Knoxville just to have my car tinted there. I did this for a couple reasons, one is that I chose the Huper Optic German film. This film is absolutely amazing and blocks a considerable amount more heat and UV than traditional films. The film has no dyes in it and utilizes gold and silver to create its look. It really speaks well of Accu-Tint that they are the only installer of films like Huper Optic anywhere in the Southeast….The second reason was their installer, Lucas, who has done several cars for me in the past and I must say he is one of the best in the business with 10+ years of experience…..Accu-Tint stands by its work and will ensure your satisfaction. Stop by Accu-Tint for a quote. I am sure you will be very impressed with the results as I was!


Most of us have had trouble with our sleeping routines at some point in our lives. In fact, according to all Vitamin Buddy quiz respondents, almost 50% of us struggle to get to sleep on a regular basis and a whopping 75% find it hard getting out of bed in the mornings.
So what can you do to get a good night's sleep, wake up feeling fresh and raring to go? Check out our latest blog post below which looks at 3 key vitamins and minerals and a handful of lifestyle tips to turn you into a morning person and improve any trouble sleeping.
We love magnesium and most of us are not getting enough of it. Magnesium is critical to so many things our bodies do, and sleep is no exception, helping with both fatigue and stress reduction.
Magnesium also helps our bodies relax as it can reduce the effects of stress and anxiety. It helps to relax your muscles, and calms the nervous system.
Not getting enough magnesium in your diet can often make you feel agitated throughout the night, which means you'll wake up more frequently and sleep less deeply. All of this will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep, making it all the more difficult to wake up in the morning and feeling refreshed.
B3 (Niacin) can decrease REM (Rapid Eye Movement) whilst you are sleeping and can prevent how often you wake up during the night, and in some cases even help with depression.
Many of the B vitamins help regulate the use of trytophan, which helps the body produce the sleep-inducing hormone, melatonin.
B6 (Pyridoxine) helps your body produce serotonin – this hormone makes you feel happy, and also calms the body to help you sleep easier. B6 also prevents you from creating excess adrenaline at night, which can lead to insomnia.
Calcium is a natural relaxant. Mainly known for it's role in bone health, it can also help give you a deep sleep by relaxing the brain.
Calcium also helps to manufacture melatonin, and is known to calm the nervous system.
Caffeine and soft drinks deplete your calcium levels, making it harder to fall asleep so maybe it's time to think about cutting down your caffeine intake.
Increase your bright light exposure during the day. Natural light affects both your brain and your body, helping you stay awake and telling your body when it's time to hit the hay. Daily sunlight improves both your sleep quality and duration, especially those with major sleep issues.
Decease your blue light exposure in the evening. Staring at a screen, blasting blue light at you, tricks your body clock into thinking it's day time, reducing its ability to create melatonin. Try to put screens away 2 hours before sleep, or, failing that, adjust your phone settings to block blue light.
If you exercise at the right time, you'll have more energy in the day, and sleep better at night.
Exercise speeds up your metabolism, increases your body temperature and stimulates hormones such as cortisol, so it's important you don't work out too close to bed-time.
The more vigorous you exercise, the better you sleep, although even light daily exercise for 10-15 minutes will improve your sleep quality.
If you wake up and go to bed at regular times your body clock will set itself accordingly as your circadian rhythm aligns itself with sunrise and sunset.
Doing this will be really hard at first – but if you commit to going to bed (doesn't mean falling asleep, just go to bed) and waking up (and actually getting out of bed!) at the same time for a couple of weeks, your sleep quality will drastically improve.
Our days are busy and hectic. Many people have a pre-sleep routine that helps them relax and calm the mind. These can be anything – 30 minutes of chilled out yoga; reading a book; having a hot bath; listening to music; or meditation techniques. Do whatever works for you.
Relaxation techniques have been shown to improve sleep quality, and are a common technique used to cure insomnia.
Mix it up a little – try one thing one week, and another the next – see what works best for you.
Small changes to your environment can make a big difference to your quality of sleep.
One study investigating the bedroom environment of women found that around 50% of participants noticed improved sleep quality when reductions in noise and lighting were introduced.
To improve your bedroom environment, aim to keep noise down, reduce artificial lights (e.g. screens and alarm clocks), keep your room cool, and make sure your bed is nice and comfy.
If you live somewhere where it's tricky to keep noise and light down (e.g. on a busy road), try out ear plugs and a sleep mask.
Ultimately, different techniques work for different people. Try out one at a time and see what works best for you. If you have any sleeping tips that have worked for you, be sure to share them with us on our Facebook Page.
