The sixth edition of the Globethics.net's flagship event, the Global Ethics Forum, was held in Geneva from 25 to 27 June 2015. Leaders, experts and future leaders from civil society, government, religious and academic institutions as well as from the business sector came together to share their learning and experiences in order to take action together to promote responsible leadership.

The Forum welcomed a total of 160 participants from all continents. Over 50 speakers shared their insights in four plenary sessions and 12 workshops, resulting in concrete project plans on the conference topic "Responsible Leadership in Action: The Value of Values." The programme also featured a public evening with a panel discussion, music and a reception hosted by the City of Geneva at the Graduate Institute Geneva. Photographs taken during the Forum give some of the flavour of the event, www.flickr.com/photos/globethicsnet.

"The insights shared focused on both parts of the responsible leadership equation: the personal and the organisational level of value awareness, practice and stewardship for stakeholder needs", commented Professor Christoph Stückelberger, Executive Director and Founder of Globethics.net.

On the personal level, keynote speaker Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of the US-based Global Fund for Women, emphasised the need for empathy towards the people one serves, as well as sharing, celebrating others and accepting failure.

The programme also offered a personal reflection session on the value of compassion and emphasized sharing, openness and gratefulness as core values for the Forum experience.

On the organizational level, the gathering focused on overarching tools like organisational training and codes of ethics, integrated reporting and dialogue; sector-specific tools; as well as problem-specific tools such as those used to address gender equality. Workshops were designed to exchange insights on existing tools and then to create a work plan to build upon them for greater impact.

As well as providing the opportunity to forge and strengthen invaluable relationships between different actors, the Forum's outcomes include a colourful bouquet of concrete plans to foster responsible leadership in organisations, including: disseminating knowledge about codes of ethics; creating access to sustainable jobs and education; enhancing awareness and knowledge about gender ethics; strengthening values-driven responsible investment; improving Africa-China business relations through further dialogue; developing an integrated values-based sustainability toolkit for business; understanding higher education's impact on community; ensuring knowledge exchange on values-based higher education programmes; fostering ethical elections in DR Congo; and advancing responsible resource management in religious organisations.

The 2015 Global Ethics Forum was made possible through the support of the Loterie Romande, the Ville de Genève, the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, the Graduate Institute Geneva and Nestlé SA.

Breakout Session: What We Know Now: Applying Lessons Learned to Advance Haiti’s Future In 2008, President Bill Clinton issued a call to action to the CGI community to address the pressing challenges that Haiti faced in the aftermath of four devastating hurricanes. The resulting Haiti Action Network, now in its eighth year, has galvanized more than 100 Commitments to Action focused on Haiti. To accomplish this, more than 300 companies, nonprofits, multilateral organizations, and government entities have partnered with the Action Network—illustrating that addressing challenges in the country requires a comprehensive approach. For example, to provide quality education, it is also vital to consider public health, infrastructure, and job creation during project planning and implementation. In this session, CGI members from diverse sectors will: • Learn about the unique structure of the Haiti Action Network and the ways that members have worked together to tackle issues. • Share commitment stories and key takeaways from Haiti—such as shared successes and difficulties with commitment implementation—that are applicable to member projects elsewhere around the world. Panel Discussion: MODERATOR: Catherine Cheney, West Coast Correspondent, Devex PANELISTS: Maxime D. Charles, Country Manager / VP, Bnakers Association / EcoBio Haiti S. A.

I love project planning! This is what I was paid to do before I went to grad school - program design + project planning = great life. yah i miss consulting! so now i'm trying to figure out how to efficiently do annoying phd program busy-work requirements so that I can continue doing what I really love - which is tech research in the field with real people :)

So I decided that I need to apply all my project management skills to myself - i've become my new project to manage! I've listed all my major projects for the next 1 year - I collapsed item #1 and #2 because those are the two annoying things that I don't want to do but I have to in order to even officially move to china next year. Most grad students in my program wonder how I get so much done- I don't think I anything special other than do what real people do in everyday life - make plans, get stuff done and get paid for it. In phd programs - it shouldn't be any different. I think it must be an age difference - most in my cohort have never had a job - they are just straight through undergrad-master-phd students. ok so now that I've listed everything - what is the method to actually START the work? arggg there are no magical robots!

Edited Voyager 1 image (reprocessed recently) of the Pale Blue Dot image, which is of Earth in the middle of a sunbeam and seen from past Saturn.

Image source: photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23645

Original caption: For the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic images taken by NASA's Voyager mission, a new version of the image known as "the Pale Blue Dot."

Planet Earth is visible as a bright speck within the sunbeam just right of center and appears softly blue, as in the original version published in 1990 (see PIA00452).

This updated version uses modern image-processing software and techniques to revisit the well-known Voyager view while attempting to respect the original data and intent of those who planned the images.

In 1990, the Voyager project planned to shut off the Voyager 1 spacecraft's imaging cameras to conserve power and because the probe, along with its sibling Voyager 2, would not fly close enough to any other objects to take pictures. Before the shutdown, the mission commanded the probe to take a series of 60 images designed to produce what they termed the "Family Portrait of the Solar System." Executed on Valentine's Day 1990, this sequence returned images for making color views of six of the solar system's planets and also imaged the Sun in monochrome.

The popular name of this view is traced to the title of the 1994 book by Voyager imaging scientist Carl Sagan, who originated the idea of using Voyager's cameras to image the distant Earth and played a critical role in enabling the family portrait images to be taken.

The image of Earth was originally published by NASA in 1990. It is republished here to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Family Portrait of the Solar System (see PIA00451) and the Pale Blue Dot image in particular.

The planet occupies less than a single pixel in the image and thus is not fully resolved. (The actual width of the planet on the sky was less than one pixel in Voyager's camera.) By contrast, Jupiter and Saturn were large enough to fill a full pixel in their family portrait images.

The direction of the Sun is toward the bottom of the view (where the image is brightest). Rays of sunlight scattered within the camera optics stretch across the scene. One of those light rays happens to have intersected dramatically with Earth. From Voyager 1's vantage point — a distance of approximately 3.8 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) — Earth was separated from the Sun by only a few degrees. The close proximity of the inner planets to the Sun was a key factor preventing these images from being taken earlier in the mission, as our star was still close and bright enough to damage the cameras with its blinding glare.

The view is a color composite created by combining images taken using green, blue and violet spectral filters by the Voyager 1 Narrow-Angle Camera. They were taken at 4:48 GMT on Feb. 14, 1990, just 34 minutes before Voyager 1 powered off its cameras forever.

Like the original version, this is technically a "false-color" view, as the color-filter images used were mapped to red, green and blue, respectively. The brightness of each color channel was balanced relative to the others, which is likely why the scene appears brighter but less grainy than the original. In addition, the color was balanced so that the main sunbeam (which overlays Earth) appears white, like the white light of the Sun.

At its original resolution, the newly processed color image is 666 by 659 pixels in size; this is Figure A. The main image is an enlarged version.

The image was processed by JPL engineer and image processing enthusiast Kevin M. Gill with input from two of the image's original planners, Candy Hansen and William Kosmann.

i'm usually very monogamous in my projects but lately i've been a crafting slut.

1. i've been spinning every day since saturday, missing only one day.

2. i started a crochet project

3. i've got a knit project planned. the yarn is wound up into balls and spread out across my guest room bed

4. i've been playing around with my first quilt

5. and i'm trying to finish off my cockstand cross stitch

i call it the pentathlon of craft.

Cette horloge, quelquefois appelée « horloge astrolabique », permet notamment de mesurer la hauteur des astres et de lire l'heure en fonction de la position des étoiles ou du soleil. Sa conception et ses différentes constructions s'appuient à l'origine sur une double projection plane (le plus souvent une projection polaire) qui permet de représenter le mouvement des astres sur la voûte céleste.

I visually facilitated a conversation with Jill Foster to help her think about her goals for her upcoming reporting gig from the Democratic National Convention and the logistics she will need to take care of to reach those goals. Jill Foster will be reporting from the Democratic National Convention in Denver via her cell phone for Utterz.com. Utterz allows users to publish audio, video, text, and photos to the web with the push of a button. This is going to be once in a lifetime opportunity for Jill, so she wants to make the most of it. Here is what Jill says about the experience of engaging in a visually facilitated project planning session.

Mohammad Ali Lund, a 45-year-old taxi-driver and farm labourer, has 12 children and 14 grandchildren in Badin, an arid district in southern Pakistan’s Sindh province. In August and September heavy rain breached canals deluging his home and farmland and breaking the rear window of his Suzuki taxi cab..

.

Ali is among 16,000 families Plan and its partner HANDS have provided with health and hygiene kits in the district of Badin where 1.8 million people were hit by the floods. He is also among the 80,000 people whom Plan and HANDS are providing some 200,000 litres of safe drinking water to daily, as the availability of safe drinking water has been a major challenge in Badin. Only 20 out of 78 water sources remain usable after the heavy rainfall. .

.

Although Ali’s six adult children have moved on to live elsewhere, Ali still has more than 10 mouths to feed. He has been living on a government cash transfer of 10,000 rupee (USD 114) and relief supplies from Plan and other NGOs. He realises that the food and cash will be depleted soon if he doesn’t look for work..

.

“I am happy to do any work, I’m looking for a job on a farm in the village or a labour job in town, to have some money to feed my children and rebuild our home,” Ali said..

.

Plan Pakistan is hoping to fill this gap, working on a “cash for work” project for the flood-hit survivors. Through this project, Plan will be helping families to generate income to support their children while at the same time providing an opportunity to repair and restore essential community services that were damaged by the floods..

"The insights shared focused on both parts of the responsible leadership equation: the personal and the organisational level of value awareness, practice and stewardship for stakeholder needs", commented Professor Christoph Stückelberger, Executive Director and Founder of Globethics.net.

On the personal level, keynote speaker Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of the US-based Global Fund for Women, emphasised the need for empathy towards the people one serves, as well as sharing, celebrating others and accepting failure.

The programme also offered a personal reflection session on the value of compassion and emphasized sharing, openness and gratefulness as core values for the Forum experience.

On the organizational level, the gathering focused on overarching tools like organisational training and codes of ethics, integrated reporting and dialogue; sector-specific tools; as well as problem-specific tools such as those used to address gender equality. Workshops were designed to exchange insights on existing tools and then to create a work plan to build upon them for greater impact.

As well as providing the opportunity to forge and strengthen invaluable relationships between different actors, the Forum's outcomes include a colourful bouquet of concrete plans to foster responsible leadership in organisations, including: disseminating knowledge about codes of ethics; creating access to sustainable jobs and education; enhancing awareness and knowledge about gender ethics; strengthening values-driven responsible investment; improving Africa-China business relations through further dialogue; developing an integrated values-based sustainability toolkit for business; understanding higher education's impact on community; ensuring knowledge exchange on values-based higher education programmes; fostering ethical elections in DR Congo; and advancing responsible resource management in religious organisations.

The 2015 Global Ethics Forum was made possible through the support of the Loterie Romande, the Ville de Genève, the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, the Graduate Institute Geneva and Nestlé SA.

The Helix Bridge (Chinese: 螺旋桥), previously known as the Double Helix Bridge (Chinese: 双螺旋桥), is a pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. It was officially opened on April 24, 2010 at 9 pm.[1] It is located beside the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and is accompanied by a vehicular bridge, known as the Bayfront Bridge.

The bridge complements other major development projects planned in the area, including the highly-anticipated Integrated Resort Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay and the 438,000 m² business and financial centre which will be ready by 2012.

Ontario, California is a large city east of Los Angeles, with a population of more than 170,000, and covers nearly 50 square miles in the Southern California valley known as the Inland Empire, on Nov. 13, 2018. In here is, Huerta del Valle (HdV) where Co-Founder and Executive Director Maria Alonso and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Redlands District Conservationist Tomas Aguilar-Campos works closely with her as she continues to improve the 4-Acre organic Community Supported Garden and Farm in the middle of the city's low-income urban community

USDA NRCS has helped with hoop houses to extend the growing season, low-emission tractor replacement to efficiently move bulk materials and a needed micro-irrigation system for this San Bernardino County location that is in a severe drought condition (drought.gov). Huerta del Valle is also a recipient of a 4-year USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Community Food Projects (CFP) grant and a USDA funded California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). She and her staff grow nearly 150 crops, including papayas and cactus. CSA customers pick up their produce on site, where they can see where their food grows. To pay, they can use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. The price of a produce box is based on the customerâs income.

Alonsoâs inspiration came from her desire to provide affordable organic food for her child. This lead to collaborators that included students and staff from Pitzer College's âPitzer in Ontario Programâ and the Claremont Colleges, who implemented a project plan and started a community garden at a public school. Shortly after that, the City of Ontario was granted $1M from the Kaiser Permanente Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Zone initiative. Huerta del Valle was granted $68,000 from that grant for a three-year project to increase the scale of operation. The city of Ontario supported the project above and beyond the grant by providing a vacant piece of land next to a residential park and community center. Alonso says that this spot, nestled near an international airport, two major interstate highways, suburban homes, and warehouses, is a âgreen space to breathe freely.â

She far exceeded Kaiser's expectations by creating 60 10â X 20â plots that are in full use by the nearby residents. Because of the demand, there is a constant waiting list for plots that become available.

As the organization grew, it learned about the NRCS through an advertisement for the high-tunnel season extension cost-sharing program. The ad put them in touch with the former district manager Kim Lary who helped Huerta del Valle become federal grant ready with their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and System for Award Management (SAM) registrations and connected the young organization to NRCS as well as the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD.) Since then, Alonso has worked closely with them sharing her knowledge with a broader community including local colleges such as the Claremont Colleges and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).

Cal Poly Pomona is an example where education institutions help the community. Cal Poly Pomona Plant Science Nursery Manager Monica Salembier has produced plant seedlings (plant trays) for transplant at HdV for many years. Aaron Fox and Eileen Cullen in the Plant Science department have hosted HdV in their classes and brought many groups on tours of the farm to learn about sustainable urban growing practices.

The centrally located garden, the shaded picnic tables have been the site of three USDA NRCS workshops for regional farmers, students, and visitors. The site also serves as a showcase for students and other producers who may need help with obtaining low-emission tractors, micro-irrigation, and high tunnel âhoop houses.â

Alonso says, âevery day is a good day, but especially at the monthly community meetings where I learn from my community.â

Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the Departmentâs focal point for the nationâs farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs, and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs.

The agencies and service supporting FPAC are Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).

Natural Resources Conservation Service has a proud history of supporting Americaâs farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. For more than 80 years, we have helped people make investments in their operations and local communities to keep working lands working, boost rural economies, increase the competitiveness of American agriculture, and improve the quality of our air, water, soil, and habitat.

As the USDAâs primary private lands conservation agency, we generate, manage, and share the data, technology, and standards that enable partners and policymakers to make decisions informed by objective, reliable science.

And through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work voluntarily with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. By doing so, we help ensure the health of our natural resources and the long-term sustainability of American agriculture.

DEP conducts public meetings to inform residents of restoration projects planned for their neighborhoods. The second public meeting on the Franklin Knolls & Clifton Park Green Streets project consisted of a community walk at the project sites.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District began a remedial investigation and feasibility study July 13 at the former Sahuarita Air Force Range in Pima County, Arizona.

SAFR is a Formerly Used Defense Site of approximately 27,000 acres. Airmen from Davis-Monthan in Tucson used the site from 1943 to 1958 for bombing and gunnery training.

This RI/FS will investigate more than 10,000 acres using digital geophysical mapping.

"DGM is being used to characterize the nature and extent of munitions of explosive concern at the site," said Kyle Lindsay, a geophysicist from the Sacramento District. "DGM locates anomalies resulting from metal in the subsurface. These anomalies are then excavated to determine what they are, and the information is then used to define concentrated target areas which help determine an appropriate remedial action."

To calibrate the DGM equipment, three site survey control points were established for the area.

"A number of quality control tests are run at the beginning of each day to ensure the geophysical instrument is functioning properly," added Lindsay. "Additionally, data is collected over an area with known objects buried at known depths and locations to verify GPS accuracy and instrument readings."

In addition to the harsh desert terrain, some of the munitions used were quite small.

"The smaller an object is, the more difficult it is to accurately detect in the subsurface," said Lindsay. "There were some very small munitions potentially used at SAFR which presents an interesting challenge for DGM."

The District is working with the State of Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Federal Projects Team as a regulatory partner for the project.

"ADEQ's role is to provide oversight of the project and to ensure that all State and Federal regulatory requirements are properly followed and met," said Sara Benovic, ADEQ project manager. "We will coordinate with the Corps and all stakeholders to discuss the project by participating in Technical Project Planning meetings, teleconferences, site visits and emails."

The RI/FS will run through May 2018, with a final report due in August 2019.

"ADEQ appreciates being a part of this project and looks forward to working with the Corps, as well as stakeholders such as Arizona State Land Department and the City of Tucson," added Benovic. "Our mission is to protect and enhance human health and the environment."

Islamabad, January 18, 2013 –U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson met today with more than 100 students who have studied in the United States and encouraged them to work hard to make Pakistan a better place. “Education is the key to future prosperity and economic growth,” said Ambassador Olson. “I’m proud that my country has had a role in your education and helped your country, one student at a time,” he told 100 alumni of the Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) exchange program. The SUSI program sends students from all regions of Pakistan and a variety of backgrounds to the United States for six weeks to study at a U.S. university. During the reunion, participants discussed their experiences in the United States and how they used what they learned and made plans to develop service projects in their hometowns in Pakistan. “Your country needs you. Devote your time and energy to making Pakistan the country you want it to be,” Ambassador Olson said. “We will continue to support you.” The Ambassador encouraged the students to apply for funding from the U.S. Small Grants program, which awards grants to individuals with promising proposals aimed at improving their communities in Pakistan. He also encouraged the students to remain engaged in their alumni networks, through which they can organize community service projects, plan social activities, and benefit from professional development opportunities. Since 2005, the U.S. Embassy has sent over 100 Pakistani university students from a wide range of backgrounds and locations to the United States to attend the SUSI program. This summer, 32 more students will attend this program. Through SUSI, students gain skills to implement long-term civic and economic changes in their communities, receive leadership training, and participate in community service projects while in the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan sponsors the largest U.S. exchange program in the world, with over 1,000 students and professionals traveling to the United States each year. More than 10,600 low-income students attend college in Pakistan with the support of U.S.-funded scholarships. In cooperation with the Government of Pakistan, the United States is also helping to establish Centers for Advanced Studies at Pakistani universities focused on energy, water, and agriculture. To learn more about U.S.-funded initiatives to help millions of Pakistani young people unlock

Breakout Session: What We Know Now: Applying Lessons Learned to Advance Haiti’s Future In 2008, President Bill Clinton issued a call to action to the CGI community to address the pressing challenges that Haiti faced in the aftermath of four devastating hurricanes. The resulting Haiti Action Network, now in its eighth year, has galvanized more than 100 Commitments to Action focused on Haiti. To accomplish this, more than 300 companies, nonprofits, multilateral organizations, and government entities have partnered with the Action Network—illustrating that addressing challenges in the country requires a comprehensive approach. For example, to provide quality education, it is also vital to consider public health, infrastructure, and job creation during project planning and implementation. In this session, CGI members from diverse sectors will: • Learn about the unique structure of the Haiti Action Network and the ways that members have worked together to tackle issues. • Share commitment stories and key takeaways from Haiti—such as shared successes and difficulties with commitment implementation—that are applicable to member projects elsewhere around the world.

The sixth edition of the Globethics.net's flagship event, the Global Ethics Forum, was held in Geneva from 25 to 27 June 2015. Leaders, experts and future leaders from civil society, government, religious and academic institutions as well as from the business sector came together to share their learning and experiences in order to take action together to promote responsible leadership.

The Forum welcomed a total of 160 participants from all continents. Over 50 speakers shared their insights in four plenary sessions and 12 workshops, resulting in concrete project plans on the conference topic "Responsible Leadership in Action: The Value of Values." The programme also featured a public evening with a panel discussion, music and a reception hosted by the City of Geneva at the Graduate Institute Geneva.

Long before the M23 number was ever assigned to this route, there were proposals in the 1930s to provide a new, high quality road from London to Brighton. Those proposals are shown in this scan. This option differs in a few ways to the modern-day M23 - passing much closer to Redhill, Horley and then right past where Gatwick's runway lies today. It ends on Crawley Avenue at Tushmore Gyratory. Taken from an undated Geographers' 35 Miles Round London Road Map.

"Above the podium rise two-storey dwellings with back and front gardens; the room sizes conform to accepted standards and ample storage space is provided in each dwelling. More­over, these dwellings are planned with a flexibility to cater for any size required from two to six rooms, the gardens increasing proportionately. A normal dwelling, say of four rooms, will have a front and back garden totalling some 325 square feet, which compares favourably with the proportion of garden to each habitable room in many much-esteemed terrace houses in London.

These gardens are, therefore, big enough for growing plants and even small trees and flowering shrubs; they are places where washing may be dried if required, prams can be left in safety and people can sit above the city noise and enjoy a unique view over London. Further, they have the advantage of complete privacy, as they cannot be overlooked by neigh­bours. The gardens are sheltered from the wind and rough weather by an outer glazed skin which, although permitting the free passage of light and air, can be adjusted to exclude high winds. The home, standing back as it does from the outer skin of the building within its own garden, is protected by two walls from the rigours of the climate; this means a warm house in winter, economical to heat, and in summer a house cooled by a comforting breeze."

Indiana Repertory Theatre, frequently abbreviated IRT, is a theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana that began as a repertory theatre with its casts performing in multiple shows at once.

The theatre company has history in two theatre buildings. It began in 1972 in The Athenaeum which now holds the American Cabaret Theatre. In 1980, the IRT moved to its current home, The Indiana Theatre, a former Paramount Pictures Publix Theatre on 140 West Washington Street, and converted from a movie theater for IRT's use.

The Indiana Theatre was built as a movie palace and ballroom in 1927.

The building is six stories and is of concrete frame construction. The front of the building is sheathed in white terra cotta. The terra cotta details above the main entrance by Alexander Sangernebo are among the most intricate in the city.

Architects Rubush & Hunter, themselves investors in the project, planned a fantastic Spanish Baroque exterior of pure white glazed terra cotta. The intricate weaving of morphed classical forms recalls the works of late 17th and 18th century Spanish architect Jose de Churriguera, whose works gave the name to the Churrigueresque style.

The original marquee is still in place. The basement originally contained bowling alleys and billiard rooms. Upper floors were divided between office space and theater space. The interior included an entrance lobby, 2 1⁄2-story main lobby and a 3,200-seat auditorium. The auditorium was distinguished by elaborate plaster ornamentation based on Spanish Baroque motifs.

The building is topped by the Indiana Roof Ballroom, a large atmospheric ballroom decorated to resemble a square surrounded by buildings with a stage at one end. The ballroom has an elliptical dome with sky effects.

The theater is a major example of the American motion picture palace. The building was restored and the auditorium was extensively remodeled in 1979–80 to accommodate the needs of the Indiana Repertory Theatre.

Selected division and regional education supervisors from the Department of Education in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (DepEd ARMM) completed a two-day “appreciative team development” workshop from 14 to 15 November 2013 as a preparatory process for the series of project planning workshops that they will conduct under the initiative “Boosting Advancement and Development of Gains in Education.” Facilitated by SEAMEO INNOTECH, the appreciative team development workshop enabled its participants to collectively come up with a process design and implementation plan for the three-day workshops that they will hold under the BADGE initiative.

As well as providing the opportunity to forge and strengthen invaluable relationships between different actors, the Forum's outcomes include a colourful bouquet of concrete plans to foster responsible leadership in organisations, including: disseminating knowledge about codes of ethics; creating access to sustainable jobs and education; enhancing awareness and knowledge about gender ethics; strengthening values-driven responsible investment; improving Africa-China business relations through further dialogue; developing an integrated values-based sustainability toolkit for business; understanding higher education's impact on community; ensuring knowledge exchange on values-based higher education programmes; fostering ethical elections in DR Congo; and advancing responsible resource management in religious organisations.

The 2015 Global Ethics Forum was made possible through the support of the Loterie Romande, the Ville de Genève, the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, the Graduate Institute Geneva and Nestlé SA.

"Financially the undertaking may well prove to be an attractive investment. Rents from the valuable part of the enterprise, which is not housing, can be made to subsidise the cost of homes and repay the interest and principal of a long-term capital loan. No additional cost need be considered for

providing alternative accommodation for families displaced from the building site, as this problem, which is usual in congested cities, hardly applies. As for land—the only land required for the buildings themselves, including private gardens for each dwelling and two acres of local open space to every thousand people, is the goods yard itself, although, adjacent to this, an area must be cleared of buildings and made into parkland sufficient in size to meet the prevailing opinions on density and major open spaces."

The most westerly of these sections of blue 'proposed' routes was built as the current A414 from the roundabout just off A1(M) junction 4 to the A1000 junction. The rest however, barring a short section at Hoddesdon, were not built. The presumed route on this map follows existing country lanes in places so is clearly just an approximation, but broadly follows the route of the original North Orbital Road around London, planned in the 1930s and then subsumed into Abercrombie's post-war "E" Ring and then the later planned Ringway 4. This route wouldn't have been a motorway, rather a rural, tree-lined parkway that might've actually been quite pleasant - for a while at least! Taken from an undated Geographers' 35 Miles Round London Road Map.

Engineers from Fredericksburg based Company A, 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th IBCT train with engineers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. March 6-7, 2015. The training is part of the Army's Total Force Partnership Program that is designed to promote informal leader development and pushes the units to find shared training opportunities and trade lessons learned. Engineers worked side by side on projects for Fort A.P. Hill building trenches and improving roads. 37th Engineer Battalion engineers were able to sign equipment from the Fredericksburg unit to get additional operating time. In exchange, 116th engineers gained valuable training time and experience because the equipment was already onsite and project planning was completed.(National Guard photos by Maj.
