These words are a part of the Serenity prayer. Accepting is all we can do now we found out that what we believed in isn't going through.

Geneva: In Geneva this evening, Shukri Aden Mohamed accepts UNHCR's 2012 Nansen Refugee Award on behalf of her sister, Hawa Aden Mohamed who was unable to attend due to health reasons.
The 63-year-old former refugee, widely known as “Mama” Hawa, has been honoured for her extraordinary service – under extremely difficult
conditions – on behalf of refugees and the internally displaced, mainly
women and girls but also including boys.
Above all she is being recognized for her work, as founder and director of the Galkayo Education Centre for Peace and Development in Somalia’s Puntland region, in helping to empower thousands of displaced Somali women and girls, many of whom are victims of rape.
The centre provides secondary education as well as life skills training
so that the students can become financially independent, shape their own futures and play a more active role in Somali society. Underlying all her actions is Mama Hawa’s belief that education is paramount,
especially when it comes to girls.

Sam Smith, publisher of the D.C. Gazette and progressive activist, is shown in a June 24, 1974 the day before he turned down the Statehood Party’s offer to be the candidate for D.C. Council chair in the upcoming elections.
He had been drafted at the Statehood Party’s convention the week before and said he was tempted to run because the presumed forerunner, Sterling Tucker, would turn over the city to the board of trade.
“Sterling Tucker and Walter Washington are political equivalents of Fruit Loops, sweet-tasting cereal circles comprised largely of additives and artificial flavoring wrapped around exactly nothing,” he said.
Despite Tucker’s registration as a Democrat, Smith referred to him as a “Republicrat.”
According to the Evening Star, “Smith said he thought he could beat Tucker in a race based on issues and debate but said there was no way he could overcome ‘his money, his friends at the Board of Trade and the White House and the kind of mindless sloganeering typified by that marvelously informative poster, ‘Washington for Washington.’”
Smith’s problem with running was that he contemplated a campaign that neither solicits nor accepts campaign contributions.
In 1966 Smith took part in a day-long SNCC boycott of Washington DC transit buses, giving rides to boycotters with his car.
After his article on the action appeared, Smith was visited by the local chair of SNCC, Marion Barry who was seeking help with public relations and a long relationship was established.
That same year, 1966, Smith launched a community newspaper called the Capitol East Gazette to serve a largely poor, black neighborhood of Washington DC.
Aided by a $2,000 grant from a local Lutheran church, the Gazette went on to cover such issues as plans to build a huge network of freeways in the city, the war on poverty, public education, neighborhood battles, and urban planning.
Smith’s paper was pro-civil rights and anti-Vietnam War
Smith also became a vociferous advocate of statehood for the District of Columbia and was a founder of the D.C. Statehood Party
In 1969, the paper was renamed the DC Gazette and became a citywide alternative newspaper.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the activist journalist Smith was a fixture at demonstrations, picket lines, public hearings, press conferences and meetings of activist causes of many stripes.
Smith later help found the Green Party.
In 1984, the Gazette’s name was changed to Progressive Review which published until 2004. Smith was also the author of a number of books.
Progressive Review and its Gazette predecessors are online at prorev.com

Arizona Cotton Research and Protection Council Chairman Tim Smith accepts an award from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Marketing and Regulatory Programs (MRP) Under Secretary Greg Ibach during the Pink Bollworm Eradication Ceremony held at the Arizona Department of Agriculture in Phoenix, AZ, on November 13, 2018.
U.S. cotton production accounts for nearly 30 percent of global trade in raw cotton and $27 billion in products and services annually. It also provides hundreds of thousands of jobs across many sectors. Pink bollworm is a significant pest of cotton that was not successfully controlled until USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the state departments of agriculture, and the cotton industry mounted a coordinated and integrated pest management program.

Boris Johnson accepted a Northern Ireland protocol when he negotiated a new withdrawal agreement with the European Union last October.
This protocol creates special customs and regulatory arrangements for Northern Ireland to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, and will come into force when the transition periods ends on 31 December – irrespective of the future trading relationship between the rest of the UK and the EU.
But many of the details of how the protocol will work in practice remain to be agreed – and there is little time left for new systems and processes to be put in place to meet the UK's legal commitments.
This event examined how the Northern Ireland protocol might operate, what needs to be done to make it work, and its political and constitutional implications.
Our panel:
Stephen Farry MP, Alliance Party Deputy Leader and MP for North Down
Stephen Kelly, Chief Executive of Manufacturing NI
Dr Anna Jerzewska, independent customs and trade adviser
Denis Staunton, London Editor, The Irish Times
The event was chaired by Joe Owen, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
