Since 2007, White Ribbon Alliance has been building support and visibility at Glastonbury Festival in the UK – the world’s biggest open air music festival, with 200,000 visitors and 2,000 journalists from 70 countries.
Our team of dedicated volunteers has pasted stick-on “heart mum” tattoos on the arms of festival goers while talking to them about how we keep girls and women safe in pregnancy and birth. We have “made a noise for mums” with a record breaking drum roll lead from the stage by pop stars Rudimental, Lily Allen and Shlomo. We have invited celebrities and to have their photos taken in WRA photoframes, shared widely on social media, raising awareness of our brand and our issues. Our Global Champion Sarah Brown has joined us at Glastonbury with supermodel supporter Naomi Campbell. And then in 2016 we stood in solidarity after the murder of our colleague Jo Cox, MP, who had been instrumental in the strategy to win international support for maternal and newborn health.
In 2017, the plan was to draw attention to WRA’s role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights by building on the growing momentum of the women’s rights marches around the world. We made an exhibition in our tent of the best and funniest of the placards – ranging from “Misters for the Sisters” to “Girls just want to have fun-damental human rights,” inviting festival goers to come in and make their own before joining us on the stage of the Park field in our own #RESIST rally.

The Danube city was only in 1954 from the 1938 from Floridsdorf (21st district) separated communities Stadlau, Kagran, Hirschstetten, Aspern and Lobau, the former Lower Austrian municipalities Süßenbrunn, Breitenlee and Essling, as well as the from the 2nd district separated Kaisermuehlen formed. Another 15 Marchfeld townships, which in 1938 during the formation of the 22nd district "Grossenzersdorf" also came to Vienna were again returned to Lower Austria in the same year. The district, which initially after 1945 was listening to the name of Stadlau, was now called Danube city (Donaustadt).
Today's 22nd district is geographically by far the largest district with 102.34 km2 and was for a long time also the least populated; in the last decades as a result of intensive urbanization (residential buildings of the Municipality of Vienna in Aspern, Hirschstetten, Kagran and Kaisermühlen) rapidly rising population numbers have been recorded (1951: 53,000; 2002: 136,000 inhabitants). However, there are still areas predominantly used for agricultural purposes.
In the modern Danube City are situated the 1964 at the Vienna International Garden Show laid out Danube Park with the 252 m high Danube Tower, the in 1975 opened Danube center, Vienna's biggest shopping center, the UNO-City (1979) and the Austria Center (1987), the Social Medical Center East (1984), the OMV, the Opel Austria (on the site of the former airfield Aspern) and the Danube power plant Freudenau (1998). By covering over of the Danube bank highway and the construction of office and residential towers, currently arises an entirely new urban center in the Danube city.
The Danube city with the at the beginning of the 20th century arosen beach area at the Old Danube and the Danube Island also has some of the most popular leisure and recreation centers of Vienna.

The Lobau, in which the Danube city also has its share, in 1977 was elevated into the rank of a nature-sanctuary and in 1996, into the rank of National Park "Danube Floodplains".
Large parts of today's Danube city in the First Republic still belonged to Floridsdorf; the early history of the social democratic movement of the Danube city therefore with that of the 21 district is largely identical.

In February 1934 also in the Danube city it came to fierce fightings. The headquarters of the Republican Defense League (Schutzbund) of Kagran was located in Komzak alley/Mälzel square (memorial plaque). Actually, Kagran was the only area where even aircrafts of the Heimwehr (right-wing para-military organization) were used. Hard-fought was also the Goethe court where in memory of February 1934 on 10 Febraury 1983 also a commemorative plaque was unveiled; another memorial plaque at the subway station Kagran center remembers the fallen tram workers of 15th February.
In many large companies, most of all in the transport companies, the gas and electric plants, but also in the fire service, the railways, the post office and the police, there were from 1934 to 1945 anti-fascist resistance groups. In the Danube Park a memorial plaque remembers that on the military firing range Kagran (in present-day park area) on October 31, 1944 the two firefighters Hermann Plackholm and Johann Zak were executed before the eyes of 600 of their colleagues. Two lanes in the Danube city were named after the two men.
In the Wurmbrand alley 12 a memorial plaque remembers the machinist Franz Stelzel who lived in this house; he also was a member of a resistance group, was arrested in 1941 and beheaded on November 10, 1942 in the Provincial Court (Landesgericht).
On May 2, 1945, the district organization was re-established in Aspern. First head of district of the 22nd district became Leopold Horacek (1946-1959), after which a residential complex is named in the Lenk alley 1-3. 1947 moved the district organization into the former Kagraner school, Donaufelder street 259.
Yet in the fifties and sixties, emerged thousands of new apartments in the hitherto sparsely populated Danube City.
1972 finally on the Racecourse grounds one of the largest municipal construction projects was tackled - the 1977 populated residential complex Rennbahnweg with 2,440 dwellings; a little later emerged the Dr. Josef Bohmann court south of Aderklaaer street with 1,600 apartments.
In parallel, also in infrastructure was invested. As early as 1978, the leading to Stadlau Südosttangente could be opened to traffic, since September 1982, the U1 runs to the center Kagran, and 1985, followed the ground-breaking ceremony for the hospital SMZ-Ost.
The Danube city today is the district of Vienna which by far continues to grow the strongest. In the municipal housing policy, however, towards the end of the eighties it came to renunciation from the large buildings of the former decades, which as an urban experiment by many are considered as failed.

An excellent example for a modern continuation of tradition of dwelling is the in 1990 completed residential complex in the Stundl alley.
I had to make a Monopoly Community Chest card today as a prop for the show Mad Money on CNBC, with the shows host, Jim Cramer, as a cartoon replacing the Monopoly guy. This is actually double sided, with a Community Chest logo on the back.
Not a lot of time to do this, print it out, assemble it, mount it on foam core, and run it down to the studio for taping.

Charitable donation by the EBRD Community Initiative
This year, the EBRD Community Initiative made a charitable contribution of EUR 50,000 to the Women Access to Entrepreneurship Development and Training Society (WAEDAT).
WAEDAT was founded in 2004 and launched under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rania in 2005. The organisation provides mentoring and training for women and young entrepreneurs in Jordan, to raise their awareness of local development opportunities and provide basic skills to start their own businesses.
The EBRD Community Initiative donation will enable WAEDAT to support local women entrepreneurs in strengthening and expanding their business activities.
There was an exhibition of the local goods and crafts, produced by the members of WAEDAT in the conference centre.

The Balgo strip is gravel and rarely goes out because of rain. The strip runs almost to the edge of the plateau so the feeling is much like taking off or landing on an aircraft carrier when that end is into the wind. Hercules have landed here when floods have isolated the surrounding communities, bringing in fuel and maybe food which is then ferried to smaller strips in Caribou aircraft.
It was a banner day for our sixth Annual "I Love My Park Day" and sunshine reigned! JHC has been a participant in this statewide community effort to get people outdoors and make a difference in the public spaces we share since its inception. Over 50 people from 5 to 65 pitched in to clean up our paths, prune shrubs, weed the 1907 herringbone apron of our Carriage House and refresh planters with deer resistant vanilla and orange petaled French marigolds.The event continues to grow thanks to our phenomenal volunteers.
Many learned how to remove invasive garlic mustard with members of the Little Garden Club. Some harvested stinging nettle alongside acclaimed forager and "Meadows and More" guru Tama Matsuoka Wong and received an autographed copy of one of her books - "Foraged Flavor" and "Scraps, Wilts and Weeds." Con Edison volunteers showed that partnerships matter to them by turning out in force as did families, teachers and teens from the Carver Center and several Cub Scout and Brownie groups. Our favorite archaeologist, Dr. Eugene Boesch also taught some budding Indiana Jones how to search for artifacts. And for the orienteers among us, we hid our first geocache!
Thank you to Rye's very own Longford's Ice Cream for donating sweet sprinkled treats for all our parks stewards!

Hermitage Community Moorings on the Thames at Wapping. A relatively new floating London co-operative community with views that would be the envy of a multi-million pound penthouse.
Open House London 2014 listing:
An exciting new development of residential and recreational moorings for historic vessels on the Thames. The architectural scheme has been designed as a model for river dwelling that takes into account its tidal location. The unique Pier House, built to a high specification, provides a floating community centre just downstream from Tower Bridge.
And from the community’s website: www.hcmoorings.org
Hermitage Community Moorings (HCM) is a co-operative which built, owns, and operates a mooring on the Thames at Hermitage Wharf, Wapping.
The mooring provides berths for up to 20 historic vessels: enabling a mixture of live-aboard, recreational and visitor use. HCM provides well-managed river access for local people, including educational and recreational facilities.
HCM was created by a small, dedicated community over the course of about 6 years and is the first development of its kind on the Thames for more than a generation. The co-operative members entirely self-funded the planning, design, management, construction, installation, and operation of the harbour. The infrastructure is designed to create a small, close-knit community of people committed to boat use and the preservation of historic craft.
Part of its ambition is to ensure traditional river craft (e.g. sailing barges, tugs and motor craft) remain part of the Wapping landscape for future generations – and to create a local landmark that promotes Wapping’s historic links with the river.
Address: 16 Wapping High Street, London E1W 1NG.
The Elizabeth Board of Education and Elizabeth Public Schools hosted the Community Symposium on Water Quality at John E. Dwyer Technology Academy Auditorium on June 13. Members of the Elizabeth community were invited to the consortium as the Board and school district presented information about the topic of water quality as it pertains to the school system and the proactive efforts that have been taken by the Board and Elizabeth Public Schools to help ensure the safety of its children, its team members, and all people who enter the school district’s buildings. Luis Couto, Director of Plant, Property, and Equipment, presented details of the measures that have been taken by the district with regard to water quality. Board members President Charlene Bathelus and José Rodriguez, Superintendent of Schools Olga Hugelmeyer, and City of Elizabeth Health Officer Mark S. Colicchio also helped facilitate the event and answer questions presented by the public.
