UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, jointly with UNICEF, lead the largest global programme to accelerate the abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In line with Zero Tolerance Day for FGM on 6 February 2017, UNFPA lead a mission to Kenya's Narok County to document UNFPA’s active participation to encourage the abandonment of the practice. Female Genital Mutilation, FGM, involves altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. It negatively impacts a girl’s psychological, emotional and physical well-being, education, health and gender equality rights, and is internationally recognized as a human rights violation. Maasai culture, often praised and used as a tourist attraction, encourages FGM which is views as the key to success in all aspects of life. Many Maasai families cannot afford to give their children formal schooling, so to protect their daughters from lives of poverty, they choose to marry them off at a young age. Because Maasai girls are traditionally considered children until they are circumcised, it is seen as imperative for a Maasai girl to undergo the circumcision rite before she is married making FGM a precursor to child marriage. This strongly ingrained cultural belief propels families to go to great lengths to complete the circumcision. Both FGM and child marriage negatively impact long-term poverty reduction and development outcomes. In collaboration with World Vision Kenya as an implementing partner UNFPA identify Narok County in Maasailand as one of eight targeted counties in Kenya where UNFPA-supported interventions are transforming and saving lives of women and girls in the county.
Warriors, dromedaries, bears and falconers: the iconographic programme of San Baudelio de Berlanga
Before going into the meaning of the paintings that covered the walls of the hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, in Casillas de Berlanga, close to Berlanga de Duero (Soria), we will briefly review the history and architecture of this temple, whose construction dates back to the end of the 11th century, although the hermitage that gave rise to it could have been founded earlier on that same site. According to tradition, a primitive cave dug into the rock next to a fountain served first as a dwelling for some hermit and then as the base for the organization of a monastery dedicated to the patronage of San Baudelio, a Gallo-Roman martyr from the 4th century to whom several temples are dedicated in Spain and France.
The first reference to the hermitage of San Baudelio dates back to 1136: that year the Council of Burgos decreed the assignment to the diocese of Sigüenza of several towns and places previously assigned to that of Osma, including Berlanga and the monastery of San Baudelio. The time of the construction of the hermitage coincides with the definitive settlement of the Christian kingdoms in the advance of the reconquest: around 1060 Fernando I took precisely Berlanga and, until well into the 11th century, the area around this place was a border zone subject to incursions and retreats by Arabs and Christians.
As for its architecture, the chapel is made up of two rectangular bodies of different sizes made of masonry supported by ashlars. Its external appearance is very simple, with its entrance door with a bent horseshoe arch standing out.
The floor plan corresponds to two cubes (the central one and the apse one). When you enter, you will see that, under the colonnade, there is the entrance to the cave dug into the rock where the primitive hermit who founded the place would have lived. Approaching it (you have to kneel down and use your mobile phone to illuminate it) you will see two rooms or cavities at the back.
The apse houses the central chapel of the church and is accessed through a large horseshoe arched entrance that rises above the main nave. In the centre of the latter is the “palm tree” by which so many remember Saint Baudelio: a cylindrical column from which eight horseshoe-shaped ribs emerge, like palm branches, which support the vaulted ceiling. This tree is part of both Christian and Muslim iconography and was understood by the “blessed” as a model of a solid and protective plant. At the top of the column is a small lantern that, according to some theories, could have been used as a reliquary for the safekeeping of texts or sacred objects.
The rear area of the main nave also has a set of small columns with horseshoe arches forming five vaulted naves. Above them is the choir, which was accessed (now access is prohibited for safety reasons) via a staircase attached to the wall. This choir is completed with a small tribune with a half-barrel vault, which, according to Ortega Frías, was a secluded chapel where religious services could be held in private and, according to Bango Torviso, a kind of tribune for lay people with its own altar.
THE ICONOGRAPHIC PROGRAM OF THE PAINTINGS OF SAN BAUDELIO. AND ITS LOOTING
The entire interior space of the hermitage, from the walls and vertical planes to the concave surfaces of its walls, was the support for paintings that in the 20th century were the object of one of the most striking cases of looting in Spanish art. In 1922, these works were bought from the owners of the hermitage (some neighbours of Casillas) by an intermediary of the North American collector Gabriel Dereppe, for 65,000 pesetas at the time, and although the Spanish government tried to prevent it and the matter was taken to court, our Supreme Court ruled in favour of the new owners of the temple, which was not open to worship at that time, in 1925.
They were free to dispose of the paintings, and they did so: Italian specialists from the workshop of Steffanoni, an expert in covering and removing mural frescoes, removed them and arranged them on 23 canvases that travelled to America in 1926. They were distributed between the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Cloisters of the MET in New York and the museums of Indianapolis and Cincinnati, where they are still mostly located. Only a small part can be seen today in the Prado Museum thanks to a 1957 agreement that also had its fine print: in exchange for the return of some frescoes, belonging to the hunting series on the lower part of the walls of San Baudelio, Spain ceded to the Metropolitan the Romanesque apse of the church of San Martín de Fuentidueña, in Segovia. This church, by the way, had been declared a National Monument in 1931.
Despite the removal of the frescoes, the impregnation of some of them was so strong that many walls in the hermitage itself still bear the trace of those works, allowing us to imagine what the rich ensemble would have been like at the beginning.
Camón Aznar, Sánchez Cantón and Ortego Frías agreed that paintings with a profane (hunting) theme and simpler execution were Mozarabic, and those that refer to chapters of sacred history and present more ornate compositions were Romanesque. The former are said to be earlier. However, a study by Milagros Guardia from 1982 maintains that both Mozarabic and Romanesque paintings are, in addition to being contemporary, works from the same workshop, although perhaps not from a single master. The result would be a unitary treatment, in terms of the plastic aspect and its meaning, of the pictorial repertoire.

'Ssst zondag' (Hush Sunday) is a pilot for a children's programme I wrote and directed at the Film Academy in Amsterdam.
It is about a brother and sister who have the house to themselves every sundaymorgning when their parents want to stay in bed a bit longer.
When the kids start playing their imagination goed haywire and it seems that all their adventures really happen right there in the livingroom.
In this pilot the children survive a snowstorm, a attack by a bear and perform a risky operation on a patient.
Will the livingroom still be in once piece when their parents come downstairs?
The lovely animated titles were made by Mascha Halberstad.
The pilot was never made into a tv series because soon after graduating I realised I wanted to become a historical consultant.
So I did; www.hab3045.nl

A very successful workshop for primary school teachers was held on Saturday 25 January 2014 at the European Parliament Information Office in Dublin. Teachers attended from across the country and the aim of the workshop was to exchange best practices among participating teachers. Three MEPs, Marian Harkin, Mairead McGuinness and Emer Costello, attended the event and spoke about their work. The idea behind the programme is to encourage students to get to know their European neighbours better through activities in their schools.

Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile - the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues.
The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War.
The Arc is the central cohesive element of the Axe Historique (Historic Axis, a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route running from the courtyard of the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Défense).
The Arc de Triomphe was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806; its iconographic programme pits heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail.
It set the tone for public monuments with triumphant patriotic messages.
Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, the Arc de Triomphe has an overall height of 50 metres (164 ft), width of 45 m (148 ft) and depth of 22 m (72 ft), while its large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide.
The smaller transverse vaults are 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide.
Three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 marking the end of the Great War, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane under the arch's primary vault, with the event captured on newsreel.
Paris's Arc de Triomphe was the tallest triumphal arch until the completion of the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico City in 1938, which is 67 metres (220 ft) high. The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, completed in 1982, is modelled on the Arc de Triomphe, and is slightly taller at 60 m (197 ft).
La Grande Arche in La Défense near Paris is 110 metres high. Although it is not named an Arc de Triomphe, it has been designed on the same model, and in the perspective of the Arc de Triomphe. It qualifies as the world's tallest arch.
The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier
Beneath the Arc is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Great War, Interred on Armistice Day 1920. It has the first eternal flame lit in Western and Eastern Europe since the Vestal Virgins' fire was extinguished in the fourth century. It burns in memory of the dead who were never identified (now in both world wars).
A ceremony is held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every 11th. November on the anniversary of the Armistice of the 11th. November 1918. It was originally decided in 1919 to bury the unknown soldier's remains in the Panthéon, but a public letter-writing campaign led to the decision to bury him beneath the Arc de Triomphe.
The coffin was put in the chapel on the first floor of the Arc on the 10th. November 1920, and put in its final resting place on the 28th. January 1921.
In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy paid their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, accompanied by President Charles de Gaulle. After the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, Mrs Kennedy remembered the eternal flame at the Arc de Triomphe, and requested that an eternal flame be placed next to her husband's grave at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
President Charles de Gaulle went to Washington to attend the state funeral, and witnessed Jacqueline Kennedy lighting the eternal flame that had been inspired by her visit to France.
The Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) currently includes over 100 issuing banks in the EBRD region and more than 800 confirming banks worldwide. The event gave 250 guests the opportunity to review and discuss current market challenges with key industry specialists, regulators and representatives from the World Trade Organization, the International Chamber of Commerce HQ and the local, national ICC committees industry. It also featured the highly popular annual award ceremony for ‘The Most Active EBRD TFP Banks’ and ‘Deal of the Year’.

2013 sees the introduction of a new training programme, Leaders in Development, to help create the next generation of CEMEX business leaders.
Three talented employees, Scott Richard and Tom, have been selected to take part in the one year programme, in which they will gain extensive and fundamental knowledge of the business and develop a multi-functional perspective. With this grounding it is hoped to create a mobile talent-pool feeding into senior management positions of the future.

Back in 2009 I think, I discovered a programme called LDD (Lego Digital Designer). It allowed me an almost limitless supply of Lego bricks to create virtual structures. I was instantly taken back to my 5th birthday when I got my first Lego fire engine.
Having evolved a pronounced interest in all things roboty (is that a word?) my preference was for mechanised creations. One of my earliest I called "spider bot" and it was a multi-limbed agent working for a group known as the Space Skulls (which is a theme created by Lego themselves).
My construction techniques and knowledge of the programme were limited back then, so this is not representative of my best work, but I'm still fairly impressed with the results.
For completeness I must stress this image is one I took very recently of a reconstruction of the original design. As a result, there may be slight differences in the parts used to those in 2009.
Lego, Lego Digital Designer and Space Skulls are trade marks of LEGO Company, Spiderbots are an original concept by Steven J Hilton (aka Andros (pittstop) Tempest)
