Listen to “Special Envoy to the United Nations for Road Safety & New York Department of Transportation discuss Road Safety” on Spreaker.

The former United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, appointed in 2015 Jean Todt as his Special Envoy for Road Safety. He was reconfirmed in this role by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, in 2017 and in 2021. The Special Envoy contributes, among other things, to mobilize sustained political commitment to make road safety a priority; to advocate and raise awareness of UN legal instruments on road safety; to share established good practices in this area; to striving to generate adequate funding through strategic partnerships between the public, private and non-governmental sectors. As part of these efforts, in 2018, together with 14 UN organizations, the Special Envoy launched the UN Road Safety Fund (UNRSF). Special Envoy brochure and X account.

@ DIZZY‘S CLUB

Jazz at Lincoln Center

The Django Festival Allstars return to the US and are delighted to grace the stage at Dizzy’s, Jazz@Lincoln Center, for the ‘first time’, as part of their US summer tour (See info below)

The Allstars continue to captivate audiences with their energetic and virtuosic performances and their take on the musical style of Django Reinhardt, ‘hot gypsy Jazz’, with ballads that will pull on your heart strings. It’s reminiscent of romantic Paris in the 20’s and 30’s when Django Reinhardt and famed Jazz Violinist Stephane Grappelli partnered to create The Hot Club Quintette …..the rest is history!

The music is infectious, with a driving beat, full of swing ,melody, and joy! Samson Schmitt, a star of the sound, is the son of legendary Manouche gypsy Guitarist/ Violinist, Dorado Schmitt. He will lead with virtuosic player, Ludovic Beier on Accordion and Accordina. Pierre Blanchard, on Violin, fills Grappelli’s shoes with his own dynamic personality. On rhythm guitar, we have Francko Mehrstein, known across Europe as one of the best in the genre. Antonio Licusati on Bass brings a swinging ‘Jazz’ feel to the music.

The program consists of originals by these very talented Composers, plus some of Django’s known standards.

UN SECRETARY GENERAL’S MESSAGE FOR PEACE DAY 2021

Austin Tang — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 20:57:03 +0000

Listen to “UN SECRETARY GENERAL'S MESSAGE FOR PEACE DAY 2021” on Spreaker.

International Day of Peace – António Guterres (UN Secretary-General)

This year’s International Day of Peace comes at a crisis point for humanity.

COVID-19 has turned our world upside-down.

Conflicts are spinning out of control.

The climate emergency is worsening.

Inequality and poverty are deepening.

And mistrust and division are driving people apart at a time when solidarity and collaboration are needed more than ever.

As a human family, we face a stark choice —

Peace or perpetual peril.

We must choose peace.

That is why I call for a 24-hour ceasefire today.

And by working in solidarity for a lasting, sustainable peace every day, we can tackle the issues facing us.

We need peace to urgently deliver lifesaving vaccines and treatment for COVID-19.

We need peace to recover from the pandemic and re-build shattered systems and shattered lives.

We need peace to level the playing field and reduce inequalities.

We need peace to renew trust in one another — and faith in facts and science.

And we need to make peace with nature — to heal our planet, build a green economy, and achieve our net-zero targets.

Peace is not a naïve dream.

It’s a light in the darkness.

Guiding us to the only pathway to a better future for humanity.

Let’s walk the pathway of peace as if our lives depended on it.

Because they do.

Thank you.
