Set the camera on the rope to really get this shot. Love the perspective, I think it relates just how tall the ship is.

"Among the many buildings and great architecture there was in Barcelona, this was one of the structures that really caught my attention. I believe it is a Cathedral located somewhere in the Gothic Quarter. Its geometric form, not to mention the great detail around it, reminds me so much of Cubism. I find the interconnected lines, shapes and bricks really interesting. It's old but definitely beautiful to look at."

UN Police Division trains future senior female police leaders
The United Nations Police Division, in partnership with the African Union, recently concluded a command development course specially for female senior police officer in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Over 50 participants from 26 countries took part in this course in the first week of December which aims to prepare senior female police officers to be recruited on police leadership positions by the United Nations and the African Union.
Participants were given more information about police mandates and policy in UN and AU peace operations, competency-based interviews and leadership skills required for commanding police officers from around the world.
The course is in line with the UN Secretary-General’s system-wide gender parity strategy and is part of the Police Division’s efforts to recruit 20 per cent women across all levels.
Currently, 10 per cent or 1,093 of the 11,300 UN police officers are women. An additional 1,000 female police officers are required to reach the target which was set in 2009. Currently, three United Nations police components (UNAMID, UNISFA and UNFICYP) are headed by police women.
In addition to contributing to gender parity efforts, the training course also aims to strengthen gender-responsive policing by the United Nations, African Union and host-State police services by increasing the number of well-trained and qualified senior female officers in command positions.
“The equal representation of women and men in police organizations at all levels is a fundamental principle of democratic policing. It enhances the legitimacy of police services and improves their professionalism by ensuring that the diverse needs and concerns of all segments of society are considered in all policing operations,” said Shaowen Yang, the Deputy Police Adviser, opening the training course.
“We hope that gender perspectives will further be integrated and become part and parcel of each of police activities,” he added.
The training is part of a series of trainings for 200 female officers. The next training will take place in Malaysia, organized in partnership with ASEANAPOL and the Royal Malaysian Police, followed by trainings in Latin America and Africa.

Today Statement #59:
Today I will change my perspective. I will see things from a different angle because if my camera has taught me anything it's the fact that if I change the way I see things, the things I see will change.
Our laundry is still waiting to be folded. We have spent a ton of time at the hospital supporting friends who have met with tragedy. This pile of clean clothes in my basement is a welcome sight. It reminds me that I have a healthy family, and that's all that really matters.
Sometimes you have to remind yourself that -- in your life of fire alarms, cat barf, phone meetings, 25MB attachments, and traffic -- being frustrated with the world implies the fact that you care about it enough in the first place to be frustrated with it.

It's easy to tangle up ideas, especially when we approach an issue from a narrow perspective.
