New York, 17 July 2017 - Mr. Jitendra Shankar Mathur, Secretary of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, India.
‘The SDGs in Action: Eradicating Poverty and Promoting Inclusive Prosperity in a Changing World,’ a high level side event organized by the UN Development Group, in conjunction with the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF 2017), discussed how countries at various stages of development, including those faced with complex situations such as violent conflict and fragility are accelerating efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The theme of the HLPF, ‘Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world’ challenges the UN and Member States to hold true to the 2030 Agenda pledge to leave no one behind and to reach the furthest behind first.
Mr. Achim Steiner, UNDG Chair and UNDP Administrator highlighted on the need to pursue an integrated approach versus “cherry-picking” priority areas, where the UN can help identify synergies and trade-offs in different country contexts to determine interventions that yield benefits across several SDGs.
“The critical importance of leaving no one behind and reaching the furthest behind first: here the UN can help countries better understand and address inequalities in all their forms”.

Kendal (black strip) wait for the ball to pop out their side of a scrum during a North West derby against Preston Grasshoppers in rugby union's North Premier league. It was the opening fixture at the Lakelanders' new ground. Multi-pitch New Mint Bridge, built on a 12-acre site, cost more than £10m. The visitors spoiled the party, and sent home disappointed the majority of a bumper crowd, by coming back from 9-5 down at half-time to win 25-19. Hoppers, now unbeaten in five games this season as they look to bounce straight back to National League Two North, outscored the Lakelanders four tries to one. Kendal had to wait until the third minute of second half stoppage time to cross the Preston line. Scrum-half Chris Park's touchline conversion salvaged a losing bonus point.
Kendal's new ground was funded by the sale, to a supermarket developer, of their former Mint Bridge home, which is half a mile down Shap Road towards the town centre. It has taken a decade for Kendal to relocate because three public inquiries were needed before the proposed supermarket was given the go-ahead. RFU president Bill Beaumont officially opened New Mint Bridge in a short ceremony just before the Preston game kicked off.

Admission: £7. Programme: £1 (24 pages). Attendance: 800 (estimate). Scoring sequence: 3-0 (11mins); 6-0 (20mins); 6-5 (30mins); 9-5 (40mins); 9-8 (42mins); 12-8 (50mins); 12-13 (54mins); 12-20 (66mins); 12-25 (77mins); 19-25 (80+3mins). Referee: Jack Le Feuvre (North Federation).

Lady and Child Asleep in a Punt under the Willows
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)
England, 1887
Oil on canvas
Sargent’s Impressionist period can be dated to the latter half of the 1880s, during which he initially concentrated his efforts on producing Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (Tate Britain, London) from 1885-1886. The second stage, which occurred a little later, coincides with a period in which he spent some time with Claude Monet in Giverny. Sargent was central to the development of Impressionism in Britain, choosing to show some of his more experimental work at the New English Art Club, which closely followed the latest art trends coming out of France.
In the summer of 1887, Sargent was invited by his friends Robert and Helen Harrison to spend the season at Wargrave, being probable that the composition was painted at Henley-on-Thames. In this work, the two sleepy figures under the shade of a willow tree are being lulled by the gentle movement of a barge in the heat of a summer afternoon. The composition is clearly Impressionist in style, both in its rapid swept back brushstrokes and in its treatment of the light. The same subject was handled various times by Sargent, with the same atmosphere of “dolce far niente” common to almost all his paintings from the summers of 1887, 1888 and 1889. It is possible that the inspiration for this work came from La Barque (Musée Marmottan, Paris), executed by Monet around 1887.

This is XE8, Expunger commissioned on 6th November 1944. It would appear that this actual midget submarine was not used operationally in WW2, but others of the same type were. Expunger was built by Broadbents in Huddersfield. She was transported to Portsmouth by railway and used for training and instruction purposes. Taken out of service in 1952 and used as a target somewhere in the region of Portland. Recovered during 1973 and I believe is now part of the Imperial War Museum's collection and has previously been displayed at Duxford.
12 'X' Class craft were ordered ( not all built). 5 got to be used operationally. They were a later development of the type of midget submarine deployed against the Tirpitz

Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, New York, USA 19 - 23 September
Every year we search the Open House booklet seeking something different.
I have discovered Victorian churches, and am rather smitten by Gothic Revival and Victorian Stained Glass, so with the description in the book, this was going to be a must to visit.
From the City we took a cab to Paddington, the driver wasn't interested in taking us to the church, just to the nearby taxi driver's cabin.
From there we walked beside the Canal from Little Venice and into Paddington, and behind a faceless 60s housing development was this Gothic masterpiece.
We were two of only three visitors, but greeted warmly, and clearly the volunteers were rightly very proud of this living and wonderful church.
--------------------------------------------------
The parish was founded in 1865, as a “church plant” from All Saints, Margaret Street, in a densely packed slum district, by Fr Richard Temple West, who was then a Curate at Margaret Street. The architect was George Edmund Street, a member of the Margaret Street congregation, and then at the height of his powers. Building started in 1867, and was complete in 1872, but a fire destroyed the brand new roof and the reconstruction took a year, so the first Mass in the new building was on St. Mary Magdalene’s Day 1873. The church was consecrated on 21st October 1878, after the decorations were finished.
Street’s design was dictated by the site, sloping steeply from north to south and also from west to east at the back and slightly from east to west at the front, and hemmed in by terraced housing. The church is immensely high, with a needle spire, which rose above the rooftops. Clerestory windows ensured that it was light. The irregular west end abutted existing buildings, and the church occupies every inch of the available site, except for a sunken area to access the vestries. The Building Act forbade building above a certain height right up against a pavement, but allowed it five feet back, so on the north side Street built a “false” aisle, five feet wide, with the arcade carrying the church to its full height. On the south side, there is a normal, wide aisle. Under the church, to provide a level platform, is a massive crypt, including vestries at the east end. Street’s artistry was to provide a double arcade to the north aisle which takes the eye away from the proximity of the outside wall and conceals a slight curve in it. He was building the Royal Courts of Justice at the same time, and there is more than a passing resemblance between St. Mary Mag’s and the Great Hall there (also a solution to a sloping site). The decorative scheme of the church is Street’s, executed by some of the leading ecclesiastical artists of the day. The windows are all by Henry Holiday and repay careful study.
Twenty years after the building of the church, Ninian Comper was commissioned to produce a fitting memorial to Fr. West and created the Chapel of St Sepulchre in the south aisle of the crypt, his first work in London. This involved altering the crypt windows (which come up to street level on the south side) and putting in new stairs. The Chapel is a chantry chapel translated from fifteenth century Germany, with every detail perfectly designed by Comper in an elaborate scheme based on the idea of St. Mary Magdalene, the penitent, becoming the first witness of the resurrection. Comper in later years came to see this work as mechanical reproduction, but it produces an exquisite effect, with a blue vault spangled with stars and a reredos crammed with figures glittering with burnished gold. The reredos contains a concealed tabernacle (possibly the first to be installed on a Church of England altar) which took the place of Comper’s favoured hanging pyx for fear of protestant rioters. The Chapel has always been troubled by penetrating damp and needed to be restored in the 1930s and 1960s. It served as the chapel for a small house of the Wantage sisters during the years that they worked in the parish.
In the 1920s fashions had changed in “advanced” Anglo-Catholic circles, and the correct style was felt to be baroque, and so alterations were made to the church by Martin Travers, the leading designer in the style. Travers created the war memorial calvary outside the church, and the Lady Chapel inside the transept porch, an exercise in Spanish baroque, as a memorial to Fr. Bleadon, the second Vicar. Comper had produced a design for this Lady altar before the Great War, but it was never executed. Travers’ most prominent work, however, was to raise the floor of the chancel and provide an elegant marble balustrade and communion rails. The work in cream and pale green marble fits well with Street’s wall decorations though the raising of the reredos to overlap the east window is regrettable. Street had given the church a low chancel screen in delicate ironwork, which was preserved and installed in the crypt. The Mary Magdalene altar was also installed in the 1920s in the south aisle, and Travers executed a charming statue of the patron saint holding a model of the church which now stands there, but which originally stood in the south porch.
In the 1960s, the community that the church served was swept away in slum clearance after wartime bombing, and the church left marooned, looking like some vast liner moored on the canal, amid the council flats of the Warwick Estate. The crypt Chapel was restored for the centenary of the church, and the north porch was walled up, but otherwise little was done to the building.
The twenty-first century has seen the first successful efforts to restore and regenerate the building after decades of decay. The vast west window was totally repaired, releaded and cleaned in 2005-6. The roof has been reslated in 2007-8, and all the rainwater goods repaired or replaced, and the clerestory windows repaired. The vestries have been refurbished with a view to opening them up for community use once they have dried out. A major feasibility study has been carried out by architects and consultants for the regeneration of the crypt in partnership with Westminster City Council and the Paddington Development Trust.
In 2015 we were fortunate to achieve Stage1 support from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Mary Mags project and are now working on our Stage 2 bid.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) held an event under the theme 'Sports together for a united country' at the Juba Basketball stadium on 17th April 2016.
UNESCO and UNMISS worked closely with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, the National Olympic Committee, and the Maale Foundation for Heritage Development, to organize this event as a celebration of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
Sport provides an unparalleled opportunity for people to meet, compete and build bonds.
UNESCO, as the United Nation’s lead agency for Physical Education and Sport (PES), promotes sport as a vital medium for peace and development. UNESCO recognizes the practice of sport as an instrument for promoting peace, a powerful vehicle for social integration, economic development, gender equality and youth empowerment, with benefits that are felt far beyond the stadiums. Indeed, the values acquired in and through sport such as fair play and a team spirit, are invaluable to the whole of society since, sports disregards geographical border, ethnic differences and social classes.
Since 2013 the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace has honoured sport's role as a vehicle for social inclusion and youth development. This year, UNESCO South Sudan and its partners marked the day by bringing together women’s volleyball teams from Juba town, UNMISS, and the UN Protection of Civilians sites for a friendly tournament at the Juba Basketball Stadium.
The sport matches were accompanied by displays of martial arts, children's singing, traditional cultural dances reflecting South Sudan’s cultural diversity as well as peace messages from Mr. Salah Khaled, UNESCO Country Representative and Head of Office, South Sudan, Mr. Eugene Owusu, UNMISS Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the South Sudan National Olympic Committee.
In his message for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, described sports as 'a unique and powerful tool for promoting dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of every member of the human family'.
