Brunei Darussalam: Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan Haji Hassandal Bolklah
"In Brunei, our experience on this issue is based upon our long-standing policy to provide universal access to education. In the 1950s ... education was made free to all children irrespective of gender. … Our girls and women have equal opportunities to upgrade their knowledge and skills particularly in evolving areas like ICT. … Our women have attained employment in various professional fields like medicine, law, business and engineering. …They have equal access to healthcare facilities, free for all citizens. Over the past two decades, our women's life expectancy has improved to about 80 years. They're increasingly active in business ventures through various credit financing schemes. …We are also making efforts to protect women's rights through legislation and plans of action, which we will continue to review when necessary. Regionally, we're part of the commission on promoting and protecting the rights of women and children. … Our continued effort to fulfill our international responsibilities are shown by our commitment to the [Millennium Development Goals] and [Sustainable Development Goals] as well as Convention on Eliminating all Forms of Discrimination against Women. … I'm pleased to reaffirm our commitment towards implementing the objectives of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action."

The governments of Canada and British Columbia announced a funding commitment to build a new four-lane Malakwa Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) to replace the existing two-lane bridge, on July 25, 2014. The new crossing will better handle the increased traffic volume and larger truck loads on this important highway.
The modern four-lane bridge will accommodate wider and higher trucks, improving safety and supporting Canada’s Pacific Gateway, which supports the safe and efficient movement of goods across key trade corridors. With between 6,000 and 11,000 vehicles crossing the existing 60-year-old structure each day, the project will make this major economic corridor safer and more efficient.
Tybo Contracting Ltd. of Langley B.C. is the successful bidder for the construction of the new bridge and four-laning project. Construction is scheduled to begin in August and is anticipated to be complete in the summer of 2016.
The project also includes the widening of 2.7 kilometres of Highway 1 from two to four lanes and the addition of centre median barriers. The highway will also have 2.5-metre-wide paved shoulders and rumble strips to improve safety for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians.
In addition, the community of Malakwa will benefit from 1.8 kilometres of new local roads that will access the highway at two new protected “T” intersections, which provide drivers with a protected lane to wait in to safely turn both on and off the highway. The Hickson Road intersection will be upgraded with a new protected “T” concept, and accesses off of Ackerman and Delaney roads will be consolidated at a new protected “T” intersection near the Shuswap Speedway.

Namibia: Deputy Prime Minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah
"The Beijing Platform for Action remains a powerful guide and source of inspiration to all of us. Since independence, Namibia has paid special attention to women’s empowerment and gender equality…it is an integral part of our Constitution…Significant targets…have been met…. We've increased the number of girls in primary and secondary schools…and the [share] of women in the National Assembly from 24 per cent in 2009 to 46 per cent in 2015…. We still face challenges [that] need to be addressed... Namibia commits herself to women’s empowerment and ensuring that women's rights are protected, and that women have access to services such as education, health and employment, among others. We also commit ourselves to fight gender-based violence…[and] to make sure women as agents of peace play their role both in the community and national level. We will continue to have our women in uniform to serve in UN peacekeeping. We commit ourselves to continue to...fully embrace the critical role women play in society. Finally, gender equality and women’s empowerment [are] prerequisites for sustainable development. Therefore Namibia commits herself to ensure equality between men and women."

On Thursday afternoon, May 30, 2019, demolition took place of the last of six buildings being removed to make way for the construction of the new Maswik South lodging.
Demolition was the first stage in Xanterra South Rim, L.L.C.'s commitment to rebuild the Maswik South lodging complex and construct new roads in the vicinity. The original buildings were constructed in 1971 and had exceeded their expected useful life. The project to replace them will cost approximately $30 million. Four new ADA compliant buildings will be built in the existing site footprint along with road, pedestrian, and other site improvements. The 90 basic rooms will be replaced with 120 mid-scale rooms, 30 of which will have kitchenettes (a room type not currently available in the park).
The purpose of the project is to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles in the Maswik South area and provide sustainable lodging within the existing site footprint that meets visitor needs and expectations. Other existing infrastructure at Maswik South, such as sidewalks and roads, are also aging, in poor condition, or not compliant with current laws, codes and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
In October 2018, the National Park Service (NPS) completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Maswik South rebuild and new road construction project. This EA, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), evaluated alternatives and analyzed the impacts that would likely result from implementing the alternatives. Public comments received during a 30-day public comment period were used in preparation of the Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The FONSI was signed by Kate Hammond, Acting Regional Director for the Intermountain Region of the NPS on February 14, 2019.

Proudly showing off our new family member.
Introducing Bramble, our 6 and a half week puppy.
She is an adorable little love and I now remember the hard work and commitment a new dog takes, especially since Lucy's young days.
This little one is going to make one beautiful dog. She is so adorable and gentle.
Her sleep deprived owners- howls in the night and 6.30 am starts is certainly keeping us and our daughter on our toes.
This is actually Kathryn's dog acquired for her 13 th birthday in two days time.
I think it is good for her to have her own pet responsibility and she has been great with her so far.
I can quess who will be doing the walks though first thing in the morning.
The plastic covers and throwovers are back as well as copious amounts of newspaper but she is learning fast.
Baby dogs are just like babies, they cry, sleep, and function just like a real child.
No wonder a dog is for life not just for xmas.

ARC Education Workshop: In March 2012 more than 50 teachers and faith leaders from Christian and Muslim communities across sub-Saharan Africa came together in Nairobi. They were attending a week-long workshop organised by ARC and the Kenyan Organisation for Environmental Education. The aim was to explore how to integrate religious values into education on sustainable development. Among other outcomes, the workshop committed to developing a multi-faith toolkit for use in primary schools. On September 18, 2012, 26 Christian, Muslim and Hindu faith groups in sub-Saharan Africa launched long-term environmental action plans during ARC's 'Many Heavens, One Earth, Our Continent' celebration in Nairobi, Kenya.

A diamond eternity ring is the emblem of a couple's love, dedication, and commitment. The form and style of the band, on the other hand, have an extra meaning that many couples consider when designing or selecting the right ring to symbolize their relationship. Eternity rings are a type of band that is frequently used for women's wedding bands or other important occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine's Day. The "eternal" presence of diamonds or other precious stones that adorn the whole band of the ring gives these bands their name. Purchase one for a loved one at Vintage Times.
Reflecting on the occasion, Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said:
“This wonderful event is a seminal moment for the Port, its commitment to its community and for the future use of such an historic building. This is the culmination of much work with a great many partners and is the launch pad for a new era for this place. Seeing so many members of our community come and be part of our shared story is simply wonderful.”
The installation of the Dove of Peace is part of the Port of Dover’s commitment to commemorating both World War I and II. The Cruise Terminal 1 building, which hosted the event, played a significant role as a staging post during both world wars for troops leaving to fight and returning home, and actually saw troops and supplies heading to the Western Front as its first passengers.
“This wonderful event is a seminal moment for the Port, its commitment to its community and for the future use of such an historic building. This is the culmination of much work with a great many partners and is the launch pad for a new era for this place. Seeing so many members of our community come and be part of our shared story is simply wonderful.”
When I awoke this morning, it had been raining pretty much non-stop since Saturday night. Knowing that after class I had a dog walking commitment, I decided there was no time for silliness when it comes to today's footwear. So I decided on what I call my "Apocalypse" boots.
Some have called them my "evil boots" and "kick yer teeth in boots", but I stick with my original gut instinct. When I first spotted the boots at the thrift store (oh yea, I thrifted these babies), I had visions of myself living in a Mad Max style world and if I was in this world, the only footwear I'd ever want to wear are boots just like the ones sitting on the shelf. The boots possessed the right amount of leather, straps, and buckles to show I mean business. After a quick prayer to the thrifting gods for them to be in my size, I approached the boots and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were indeed meant to come home with me.
Many women have better shoe stamina than myself. I can't run-walk distances-drive a car-save the day, while wearing any sort of heel. Which is why if I plan on spending my days escaping from baddies in my car, scavenging for gas, walking a dog, running around and generally being an anti-hero, I need a non-heeled shoe.
In stark contrast to the boots. Today I am wearing a thrifted floral sundress with layers to provide warmth on this blustery day. I'm too much of a girly girl to go wander the vast wasteland in full Tank Girl uniform, but the boots add just enough to show I am not one to be crossed.

President Kim admired Jim and Susan Wright's commitment to diversity during their time at Dartmouth.
"Today, we’re honoring the almost unthinkably massive body of work around the issues of diversity and justice of Jim and Susan Wright. It’s quite safe to say that the house that we occupy today, the diverse, multi-racial, beautiful, wonderful house - if anyone has contributed to the building of this house, if anyone has actually built this house, we have to really say that it was Jim Wright over his 40 years, in so many different roles. He was professor of history, dean of the faculty of arts and science, provost, and president. And in those 40 years, Jim made diversity an absolutely top issue.” - Jim Yong Kim

Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Stone Gate
Flickering candlelight, silent prayer and hope will greet you as you pass the Stone gate and wonder what this place is. The Stone Gate is the most significant oath site in Zagreb. Feel free to stop by, light a candle and pray for health, happiness, good luck and love.
History
When citizens of Gradec received the "Golden Bulla" in 1242. which proclaimed "a free royal city on Gradec, the hill of Zagreb", one of the hardest commitments was that they had to build strong walls around the city. They fulfilled that commitment and between 1242. and 1266. strong walls with several gates were erected. Some parts of the walls and the Stone Gate are the only parts preserved till today.
How the Gate used to look originally is unknown, the only thing that is known for sure is that they were made of stone in a city where wood was the main building material. The oldest document that describes the look of the gate dates back to 16th century: it was an open building with no roof, with a tower in the north-west and a bridge over the dike. It was roofed in 1555.
Other gates were: Mesnička Gate in the western part, Opatička or New Gate at the end of Opatička Street, the gate under Friar's Tower (also called "Frauentor" - Woman's Gate, due proximity to a convent), and small gate "Dverce" in the southern part.
The legend
History of Stone Gate is by far more interesting than any other. It is sure that Stone Gate exists since 1266. despite the first mention dates only back to 1492. In 17th and 18th century, Stone Gate was damaged in fires four times: 1645., 1674., 1706. and 1731. The city was mainly made out of wood and fires were a frequent occurrence. During the last fire (in 1731.), Stone Gate was damaged badly but one painting remained intact - the painting of Virgin Mary with baby Jesus. Widow Modlar, the owner of it built a chapel inside of Stone Gate where it still stands (named "The Virgin and Child"), guarded by an impressive baroque fence, built in 1778. by craftsman Ivan Korta from Zagreb. Author and age of the painting are unknown, but it is a common opinion among experts that it is a work of a talented native artist.
The painting shows Virgin Mary as a ruler with a sceptre in her left hand and baby Jesus in her right hand, while Jesus holds a small globe in his left hand. It was painted on linen, sized 57x47 cm. On the 200th anniversary of its miraculous preservation in the fire it was crowned with a golden crown.
Oath site
Long time ago, Virgin Mary of Stone Gate became the most significant oath site, where pious find comfort and hope, light candles as a token of gratitude or a prayer. Many citizens of Zagreb got their prayers answered to, and plates with engravings of gratitude stand as a testimony. During centuries you can hear people in Zagreb saying: "I'll light a candle in Stone Gate if Virgin Mary hears my prayer."
Such words are not a figure of speech, you can see it every day in Stone Gate, where citizens of Zagreb stop by, light candles and pray for health, happiness, good luck and love. Even in the times when praying publicly was forbidden, citizens of Zagreb continued visiting the Stone Gate, which testimonies the significance of the Gate in everyday life. On May 31st 1991., 260th anniversary was celebrated and archbishop cardinal Franjo Kuharic named Virgin Mary of Stone Gate the protector of Zagreb.

The Class of 2023 affirmed their commitment to service on August 15, 2021, and took the Oath of Affirmation, binding them to complete their next two years of study and a minimum of five years of active-duty military service thereafter. Astronaut William S. McArthur Jr. ‘73 was the guest speaker for the evening.
Members of the Class of 1973, the 50-year affiliates of the Class of 2023, presented the cadets with commemorative coins to mark the occasion of their affirmed commitment.
"Regardless of your academic focus, you will graduate having majored in leadership. The good news is that you will leave this hallowed institution well-prepared to meet the challenges your careers will place before you. When you graduate, look at your diploma. Understand what it represents. It doesn’t mean that you are ready to conquer the world any more than one from an Ivy League school, an MIT or Ga Tech, a Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas, or Stanford. It means you are ready to learn your profession through hands-on experience. It means you are ready to make your own luck.
