#CSW62 Side Event – What Will it Take to Make the 2030 Agenda work for Women and Girls? On Monday 12 March 2018 at The Mission of Germany to the United Nations at 871 Un Plaza, New York City: With the countdown to 2030 well underway, questions of monitoring progress for women and girls in a meaningful way and strengthening accountability for commitments made but not met have become ever more pressing. The side event will bring together different stakeholders to discuss these questions and share their perspectives. The event will be co-sponsored by the government of Germany, UN Women, and Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF). The event will be framed by a presentation of UN Women's global monitoring report Turning Promises into Action: Gender Equality in the 2030 Agenda which provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of the status of gender equality across all 17 SDGs. On the dais are: left-right: Aizhamal Bakashova, SHAZET, Rural Women Organization, Kyrgyzstan; Dr. Salma Nims, Secretary General, Commission for Women, Jordan; Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary General, Ibero-American Conference; Shahra Razavi, Chief, Research and Data Section, UN Women, New York; Agnes Mirembe, Executive Director, Action for Rural Women’s Empowerment (ARUWE), Uganda; and Rosemary Kalapurakal, Lead Advisor, 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Bureau for Policy and Programme Support at UNDP and Moderator.

Volunteer for the Visayans Community Program Coordinator Wimwim Canayong models the newest product created by Laura's Craft - a school bag.
For the last years, Laura's Craft, a craft based livelihood project for low income residents has created school bags for VFV's Sponsored Children and Dumpsite Children. Not only does this provide a welcomed source of income for the group, but also means that VFV can keep the purchase of their school bags 'In house'.

For all the challenges it faced, Community Bridge became a reality. Thousands of people across the community helped create a complex, richly layered artwork that drew more national attention with each passing month during its creation. Two common themes running through the community's ideas that are reflected in this gate are 1) links or interconnnections and 2) circles. The linked circle pattern in the gate represents the interconnected and interdependent nature of a family, a community, a nation, or an ecosystem, each of which is really nothing more than a network of relationships. In this network, each connection, however small, is an integral part of the whole.
The title of this piece refers not to the gate itself but to the plain wooden door visible behind it. This inner door is not easy to see at first (and probably is not visible on your monitor). A key of interlaced circles is offered to the right of the gate. The key to accessing the inner door is the recognition that we are all connected, a notion made clear by the community's ideas.

Backfilled and forgotten, the Butterhouse tunnel was dug in the early 1880's, opening for freight traffic in 1885. It closed for good in 1966. 329 yards in length, the tunnel incorporates a gentle curve to the south towards its western end. It boasts a patchwork of red and engineering brick, with refuges provided for platelayers and ceramic tablets in the north sidewall to benefit the local ganger's note-taking. A high-level row of cable hangers is also apparent, together with hundreds of short stalactites. Today, a low mist hung in the the tunnel on our arrival, but only to a height of about two metres or so. Climbing above it, we were rewarded with a wonderful green river of mist which made for some super photo opportunities.
For those of you who like the Star Wars EU books as much as I do, the Japanese covers are a must see! They are a lot more "gritty" than their North American/European counterparts.
Great cover! Jaina battles a Ssi-Ruuk (although she actually fought the cyborg Bakurran president more in the book), and Danni Quee looks suitably blond and cute (why did they throw her character away? I could see her being more the oblivious housewife than Tenel Ka during the Legacy of the Force arc). Not to mention Jagged Fel, Baron Fel, Chiss women, Y-Wings (which makes sense in the story since they were a good part of the Bakuran fleet), and just all out COOLNESS are all packed into this cover!

The Mansudae Grand Monument was erected in April, 1972 to commemorate the 60th birthday of Kim Il Sung. It is located on Mansu Hill in front of the Korean Revolutionary Museum and the huge mosaic of Mt. Paektu.
The bronze statue is 66 ft. / 20 m. high and looks out over Pyongyang below. On either side of his statue are giant stone replicas of the Korean flag and the Workers Party of Korea flag. On either side of these flags are over 200 almost life-size bronze statues of various military and civilian figures in heroic poses.
A visit to the Grand Monument is a must for all tourists and usually involves the laying of a bouquet of flowers. North Koreans usually come to the monument in groups.

Closed in 2003, Medfield State Hospital was used to film Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese. In my opinion, along with others, it is one of many films that is underrated. Spread across 900 acres this hospital was used for psychiatric rehabilitation. Built in 1892, it included 58 buildings and had roughly 2,200 patients.

#16 - Remembering
I purchased this ornament the year after September 11th. So many days, months, and holidays that followed that day brought thoughts of those innocent people who died. I can only hope that the families who dealt with so much pain, could somehow know that we deeply felt their sadness, and still do.
"In the aftermath of the tragedies that took place September 11, 2001, the courage and resolve of the people of New York City, Washington, D.C. and southwestern Pennsylvania -- and every citizen of the free world - - have been profoundly tested. Together we will pass this test - - pass with the flying colors of the flag shown in the ornament I call Brave Heart.

While I was waiting for an hour and a half in the standby line for tickets, I met a kind old man who was eager to share his experiences with me. He stood there, very slight, with blue eyes and a blue sweater to match. His head was filled with tufts of white and had kind wrinkles all over his face. He spoke quietly and eagerly.
He was a big movie fan, especially silent movies. He told me in order to appreciate them, one had to take them seriously. Their wild antics on-screen were merely stage dramatics that were used to convey messages in a speechless film, and were not to be laughed at.
A fan of Wagner and Verdi, he insisted that "rock music ruined it all."
He was stationed in Italy in the Air Force, and loved it so much, he ended up staying there for 7 years. He taught English in Naples, and he said although the Italians don't have an order to life, they know how to live a happy one. After coming back to the states he taught English to foreign students and retired.
I asked him why he was in line - he was there to see Daniel Day Lewis. He told me that while he was it Italy he had heard Day-Lewis was doing a production of Hamlet in England. Being a fan of theatre, he headed over to watch him. He had written Day-Lewis, telling him that he was hoping to meet him after the play.
Hamlet opened, and the play began - however suddenly things grinded to a halt. An announcer told the audience that they were having stage malfunctions. The play never resumed that night, and oddly enough, Daniel Day-Lewis stopped acting in Hamlet and disappeared for years. Some say it was a bout of depression that caught up to him.
The old man told me something that delighted me: He told me that Day-Lewis eventually wrote back, apologizing that he was not able to meet him that night. He called Day-Lewis "a true gentleman" and that the British were the "true pros."
So, while I stood in line, I was secretly hoping that this man would be able to meet Day-Lewis. Things were not looking good, a man who worked at the box office told us they'd have, at best, six tickets. I was eighth in line, he was tenth.
Luck struck - five minutes after the event started a woman gave us all tickets to get in. I said my goodbyes to the old man and wished him the best. I was relieved.
After the movie, interview, and Q&A finished, I stood on the balcony in awe of Daniel Day-Lewis. I kept my eyes open, looking for the old man. Then I saw him - slowly inching his way towards the iconic actor kneeling on stage.
The man grabbed Day-Lewis's hands jubilantly, shook hands, and exchanged a laugh - I can only guess what they said to each other.

Let’s talk about weight benches, also sometimes called workout benches.
Having a stable, comfortable weight bench is an essential for a variety of exercises including the mighty bench press.
And while it’s true that the bench press has fallen out of favor in recent years because it’s not a “functional exercise”, it’s still a huge mass and strength builder without equal.
Take that, CrossFit.
(Actually, recently the bench press made a rare appearance in a CrossFit WOD – so maybe they’ve come to their senses.)
Let’s look at what makes the best weight bench – whether for your home gym, garage gym, or commercial facility.
In doing so, we’ll present some of the best workout benches (both flat benches, incline benches, and adjustable benches) available from Rogue Fitness and Rep Fitness.
We’ll also look at the ultimate weight bench option – the FID bench (Flat, Incline, or Decline.)
Here’s an example of a FID bench, the REP AB-5000 Zero Gap Adjustable Bench.
The REP AB-5000 ZERO GAP Adjustable Bench is the best adjustable bench, period. Commercial grade paint, steel, vinyl, and padding is combined with rock solid stability. This adjustable bench incorporates a unique patent-pending adjustment mechanism for zero pad gap in all positions. The seat is able to slide along the frame and completely eliminate the traditional annoying seat gap found on virtually all competing products. A great FID bench
What To Look For In a Good Weight Bench
First of all, a few things.
A weight bench has to be the right height – not too high and not too low.
The defacto standard is somewhere around 17″ and 18″ in height.
Secondly benches can come in a variety of widths. 10″ to 12″ width benches are most popular.
In general, you really don’t want a bench wider than 12″. Why? Because it’s not a bed. You’ve got to be able to move your limbs with a degree of freedom that a too wide bench can’t provide.
But, there options up to 14″ in width, if you think you need that.
A weight bench needs to be strong. Besides your body weight it needs to safely support the amount of weight you are lifting too – and it’s pretty easy to load up a heavy bench press with only a moderate amount of training.
2″ x 3″ or 3″ x 3″ 11 gauge steel is commonly used to make workout benches, but other options exist too.
What’s most important is that the bench is rated in excess of the amount of weight you are likely to use (along with your bodyweight.)
When benching big weight, you need to have your feet on the floor with the proper foot positioning (despite what you may see in your local gym benching with your feet up on the bench isn’t really correct.)
Three post (or tripod) bench designs are common – because they ensure you can put your feet where it suits you best – with no support legs in the way.
The pad supporting the bench should be firm and dense, and not too luxurious.
Again, this is a workout bench, not a bed.
But it should give you a comfortable place to check your texts between sets.
That was a joke.
But you know you do it.
Do you need a flat bench or an incline bench?
Or do you need both (an adjustable bench)?
A flat bench is versatile for many lifts, including not just the mighty bench press but also makes a convenient rest for doing dumbbell rows, bulgarian split squats, and of course many seated press variations (with your back unsupported.)
Dumbbell rows on a flat bench - a staple of muscle and strength building workouts for the ages
The french press or tricep extension is an excellent exercise to do on a flat bench.
Tricep extension on a flat weight bench - a great exercise for triceps and strength
But for an improvement in versatility and variety you might want an incline bench. These benches usually serve as a flat bench when needed but are adjustable to various degrees of inclination.
Look for a range of motion from flat to 90 degrees.
These incline benches allow you do to bench press variations such as the incline press, but also various chest supported rows, dumbbell flyes, and much more.
An incline bench that can adjust to 80 or 90 degrees can also be used for a wide variety of back supported seated presses.
A good adjustable bench can be used for seated and back supported exercises such as the dumbbell press
And lastly, the decline bench is a thing too.
These have really fallen out of favor (for pressing) in recent years, but they provide some interesting variations on exercises.
They are certainly useful for various decline abdominal exercises.
A variety of abdominal and core focused workouts can be done with a decline bench - harness the power of gravity!
And, we should mention some of these benches can do it all – flat, incline, or decline.
So, really the ultimate bench is what is known as an FID bench – Flat, Incline, or Decline Bench – at your choice.
