Free for All to Freedom
Free for All to Freedom
Free for All to Freedom Late afternoon on Friday, July 13, 1956 a twin engine DC-3 from the People’s Republic of Hungary made an unscheduled landing, some 250 miles off its original course, at a NATO air force base still under construction. For those who lived behind the Iron Curtain, these were the darkest days of history, with no way to escape and no hope for the future. But on this day, seven Hungarian youngsters would dramatically risk everything in order to taste something that others took for granted: freedom. And they would do it at 10,000 feet. They would hijack a commercial airliner and fly to freedom. Free for All to Freedom is their story. Read Free for All to Freedom and feel in vivid detail what conditions were like living under tyranny and oppression, and re-live their incredible and dramatic escape to freedom. HOW DID IT HAPPEN? Where was I, what did I do or not do to let it get this far? Who was responsible for this firestorm? Who started it? The more I’d been thinking – and I had a lot of time for that – the clearer the answer became: It was me. ME! It would have been easy to say, “I did not see it coming”, but I should have. It was my country. It was my decision – or the lack thereof – to let the barbarians rise to power. The prisons were built; first for the minds and then for the bodies. The insidious disease, Communism, was marching and I was marching along. I believed in false promises and ignored history. Tyranny does not start with the gulags and gas chambers, it ends with them. I remained silent and hoped that this time it was going to be different. I did not yell “FIRE!” when I should have. Now it was too late; the fire was raging, the fire hydrants were dry, and all the firemen were dead. Excerpted from Free for All to Freedom CHAPTER XV The Cockpit of Flight 387 at 10,000 Feet over Hungary Friday, July 13, 1956 at 1455 Hour THE BASTARD WAS IN THE COCKPIT all along thought George, as he faced the fifth man and stared into the barrel of Elek Doktor’s Walther PPK. The AVO agent was waiting for George fully prepared, while trying to steady himself on the bouncing plane, with his gun in hand. George aimed the Zbrojovka with two bullets, one in the chamber and one in the magazine, slightly above the head of the AVO man and pulled the trigger. There was a small click. Ten-year old bullets just don't work that well, he thought, as he smashed the useless gun onto the forehead of Elek Doktor with full force. The plane rolled into another nose-dive throwing the already dazed AVO agent straight up to the ceiling with his feet off the floor dangling in the air. He was hanging on to some protruding gadgets from the cockpit’s roof with his left hand, holding his gun in his right. Then for an infinitely small time, his memory deserted him. He could not remember whether he loaded his Walther PPK or not. When the plane went into a sharp climb he got slammed to the floor and had a chance to act. His years of training took over: when in doubt, reload. Elek Doktor, pulled the top of his gun back released it again, aimed at George's chest and pulled the trigger.

Journalism Worthy of the Name: Freedom Within the Press And the Affirmative Side of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library)
Journalism Worthy of the Name: Freedom Within the Press And the Affirmative Side of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library)
The subject of this study is ‘freedom within the press’, the nature and limits of the protection afforded to the journalistic imparting process, which has been a neglected area of research. The analysis draws on the classical defenders of freedom of speech, Milton and Mill, to show that at the dawn of the 21st century the intertwined alliance between big business and public authorities resulting in the widespread phenomena of self-censorship within the media constitutes an almost insurmountable obstacle. Instead of enlightening the public and inspiring the individual the press may be contributing to an inert public and individual cowardice antithetical to the objectives of human dignity and democracy. The core of the problem is that prima facie the infringement of freedom within the media is not exercised on legal premises and cannot therefore be solved within the legal framework. The operation of the press in society is conditioned by three types of regulation, legal regulation, market regulation and self-regulation. Legal regulation does not adequately presuppose the impact of the latter as it is based on the assumption that press freedom is mainly a negative liberty. The book explores the affirmative side of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights to guarantee press freedom that is not merely illusory but practical and effective. Convention jurisprudence has not only influenced the domestic courts of the Contracting Parties but also the legislators of the Member States. In an era of globalization dominant media operators wield power in their own domestic markets to impede national regulators in adopting interventionist media policies to secure journalistic freedoms. The Convention jurisprudence represents a kind of European ius commune, which is here set in the context of an analysis reflecting the problems and values at issue and offering recommendations to alleviate a situation which threatens democratic ideals and public-spirited journalism.

Body-Flow: Freedom from Fear-Reactivity
Body-Flow: Freedom from Fear-Reactivity
Armed with the insights of Body Flow, you can get it back. You can keep up with a 10 year old. You can hop a fence or roll around on the ground for fun. You can ‘bust a move’ on your friends and be free of joint pain. All it takes is one small choice, one tiny decision. All you need to do is be willing to try a few fun and easy to understand moves that will wake your body up from years of slumber, grant it freedom from the emotional armoring you have trapped your natural movement in, what Coach Sonnon calls Fear-Reactivity. Unless you live completely free of fear in all areas of your life, Body Flow can help you confront, deal with, and make peace with this facet of being human. These are ways of moving that awaken your long-forgotten abilities to: move like a cat, run like a gazelle, leap like a frog. This is not hype. This is fact. These exercises work. Body Flow is not about making you stronger, although it will. It is not about making you more agile, although it will do that, too. It is about finding what you thought you’d lost. It is about re-educating your body, mind, and spirit to release whatever muscle tension, emotional blockage, and troublesome habits that inhibit your movement and emotional expression in life; or, as Coach Sonnon says, ‘binds your flow’. Body Flow shows you how to reverse-engineer the many mal-adaptations that hinder your movement. It shows you how to move with sophistication and how to be at home in your own body. The cool thing is, it shows you how to do this with your own Breath. We all have to breathe, its something we do a lot of each day. So, like it or not, we are constantly training our body and thoughts with the manner in which we breathe. Why not use this to get incrementally healthier for the rest of your life? Why not use your many daily breaths as a vehicle for improving your entire bodily presence in the world, to slow and keep at bay the inevitable decline with which Time stalks us all? This is what Coach Sonnon calls Perpetual Exercise. Get Coach Sonnon’s remarkable book. You will never ever regret it. Doing just a little bit, let alone all of the fine Biomechanical Exercise routines it suggests, confers so much in so little time, it is astounding. Body Flow contains so many insights and practical guidelines, even the most cursory reading is going to have a life changing impact. Body-Flow will have its imitators, books and videos that will try to offer something ‘unique’ or ‘special’ or ‘secret’ or ‘ancient’. Do not be deceived! What Body-Flow offers is something you always and already have. We are most emphatically not talking about exercise here, but about an entire way of being in the world, breath by breath. Biomechanical Exercises are both the key and the vehicle for your own transformation as a moving creature. And each daily breath will fuel your journey. Get the book, access your Body-Flow, and discover its wisdom as your own. May the Flow be with you… and Be you.

Fight for Freedom and Other Writings on Civil Rights (Collected Works of Langston Hughes, Vol 10)
Fight for Freedom and Other Writings on Civil Rights (Collected Works of Langston Hughes, Vol 10)
Nearing the end of a distinguished literary career that spanned nearly fifty years, Langston Hughes took on the daunting task of writing the official history of the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Beginning with the social, political, and economic contexts that led to the founding of the NAACP in 1909 and ending with a summary of its targeted goals for 1963, Hughes attempted to write a history that would be comprehensive in scope and singular in its purpose of highlighting the ways in which the Association had a direct and positive influence on racial justice in the United States. Focusing on the individuals who had the greatest impact on the NAACP and the issues with which the organization was most concerned in its first fifty years of existence, Hughes produced the widely acclaimed Fight for Freedom, striking an exceptional balance between biography and cultural history. Long before the publication of Fight for Freedom, Hughes had begun writing nonfictional prose about these same issues as a regular columnist and essayist for the nation's most influential African American publications, including the Chicago Defender and Crisis. A selection of these popular columns and other essays—which reveal the extent to which Hughes's unique, varied, and sometimes Blues- tinged narrative voice shifted in tone over the course of his extensive career—is included in this volume. Hughes intersperses historical facts with compelling anecdotes that often frame subtly ironic commentaries on various themes. The result is history that provides a lens through which to view Hughes's attitudes in the early 1960s toward the ways the NAACP addressed the vital social, cultural, political, and economic issues central to its agenda. Fight for Freedom and Other Writings on Civil Rights makes a unique contribution to the oeuvre of an African American writer whose full significance to American literature, history, and culture will continue to be defined well into the twenty-first century.

Turnaround: Turning Fear into Freedom (14 CDs)
Turnaround: Turning Fear into Freedom (14 CDs)
Turnaround is a complete step-by-step audio program which provides you and your child life-changing help for anxiety including panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias and other childhood worries. Turnaround is unique because it communicates directly to children without sacrificing psychological substance. The result is an ingenious blend of proven clinical treatment with an adventurous tale bristling with curious characters, inspirational stories and the know-how needed to overcome anxiety. Your child is being treated for anxiety as they listen to a fun story! More importantly, it works! Turnaround is a do-it-yourself program that your child can complete with minimal help. Parents are encouraged to listen along, but the program is crafted directly for a child. This program is also a natural compliment to existing counseling or medical treatment. Ten audio CDs parallel each day of the adventure and form the foundation of the program. A companion journal full of creative games, tasks and questions will help your child soak in and personalize what they hear. Turnaround invites your child to join 6 other anxious children on an imaginary 10-day hiking trip with two Docs and a mentor teen named Emily. These children struggle with anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), separation and social anxiety. The children learn from Dr. David, Dr. Chris and Emily. They also meet imaginary characters and hear stories from many other children who learned to conquer their fears. Every element of the program is artistically and scientifically designed to appeal to and positively influence your child. A new and imaginative child-friendly vocabulary will give you and your child a shared language. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for anxiety no matter what age. The program is solidly based on CBT and clinical experience. There are great explanations of CBT available in many books. However, what has never been done is presenting this treatment to children directly, by other children, and from the point of view of a child. You can have the finest treatment in the world but it won t help if a child does not understand or connect to it. Turnaround solves this long-standing problem. The authors, Psychologist Dr. David Russ and Licensed Professional Counselor Christopher McCarthy, have over 30 years of combined experience treating anxiety. They brought to Turnaround professional actors and director, a top-tier audio producer, nationally known designer and illustrator, skilled editor and a published musician. In other words, Turnaround is on par with the entertainment your kids are used to hearing. Set aside your assumptions, you have never heard anything like this program. It is a complete paradigm shift in treating childhood anxiety. Turnaround is recommended for children ages 6 to 12. The Turnaround Audio Program includes: 10 CD Audio Program, 74 page Companion Journal, Chill Kit CD (relaxation and breathing guide), 2 CD Parent Information and Guide and a Bonus CD with a comprehensive interview about medication and health related issues with James Lee, MD (Neuropsychiatrist).
