The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor within New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The statue is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals), the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. A broken shackle and chain lie at her feet as she walks forward, commemorating the recent national abolition of slavery. After its dedication, the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.
Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician, Édouard René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U.S. independence would properly be a joint project of the French and U.S. peoples. The Franco-Prussian War delayed progress until 1875, when Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U.S. provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was built in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.
The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, and is a major tourist attraction. The monument was temporarily closed from March 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic until partially reopening on July 20, 2020. Public access to the balcony around the torch has been barred since 1916.

Recently FAO and Carabinieri signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will stand for the next three years. The MoU is the result of more than a year collaboration and exchange of meetings between Carabinieri Forestali and FAO, which have led to joint collaboration in the relevant and common fields of activities. Those include achieving food security through environmental protection and management and planning of critical events due to climate change.
As a first step, and after the signature of the above-mentioned MoU, FAO and Carabinieri Forestali committed to organize a one-week common event based on the exchange of training to be held before the end of 2017. The training will cover the areas of illegal logging and the importance to prevent it and use of sustainable wood housing and buildings to tackle climate change. The event should be jointly organized by FAO and Carabinieri preferably at Carabinieri premises, in order to benefit from their logistic and facilities.

The Government of Azerbaijan, the US Agency for International Development and the UN Development Programme in Azerbaijan officially opened a Women Resource Center and a SYSLAB Employment Center in Masalli region of Azerbaijan on Thursday. These centers were established in the framework of the joint project on “Economic Empowerment for Enterpreneurship and Employment” which is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population and the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs. Both centers are located in the Massali Haydar Aliyev Center and are supported by the Executive Authority of Masalli.
Opening the ceremony, the Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Protection of the Population, Mr. Idris Isayev thanked the development partners on behalf of the Government of Azerbaijan for an initiative that will benefit both local communities and the whole region of the country.
Ms. Sadagat Gahramova, Deputy Chairperson of State Committee of Family, Women and Children Affairs, appreciated the continuation of supports provided to rural women to launch businesses of their dreams and expressed the readiness of the Committee for further collaboration.
UNDP Resident Representative, Mr. Ghulam M. Isaczai stressed the importance of women’s roles in socio-economic life and active youth participation for inclusive and sustainable development, especially in the rural areas of the country. “This partnership between the Government of Azerbaijan, USAID and UNDP helps women and youth improve their lives in a meaningful way by opening their own businesses, starting successful careers matching their aspirations, and by gaining control over their lives. This is equally important for both women and youth, who are often more vulnerable and susceptible to life’s challenges. By helping them, we are helping the future of this beautiful country.” Mr. Isaczai said in his speech.
Mr. Isaczai expressed his appreciation to the Head of Executive Authority of Masalli, Mr. Rafil Huseynov and the government partners for successful collaboration with the project team. “This event proves the stout commitment of all parties to one and the same mission, shared globally and locally – the Sustainable Development Goals.” he added.
Mr. Carter Wilbur, Economic Chief at the U.S. Embassy emphasized that by advancing women’s participation in the economy, it contributes to a stronger society. “By improving the capability of Employment Centers in Masalli to provide work related training, we enhance the ability of women and youth in this community not just to work, but also to innovate, to develop, and to act on new ideas in business and the workplace.”
The delegation met with project participants to hear how they benefited from the project and awarded with certificates the women who have launched their business under the project and the youth who had already found a job during the project cycle. They later visited a newly established ASAN center and the ASAN Support to Family Business (ABAD) in Masalli.
The purpose of the joint project on “Economic Empowerment for Enterpreneurship and Employment” is to support economic empowerment for women’s entrepreneurship and youth employment through capacity-building activities at a Women’s Resource Center and Employment Centers (SYSLAB) in the region.

In its heyday Ruddington in Nottinghamshire had 330 knitting frames in workshops dotted around the village.
Parker's Yard is one of the few remaining unchanged and since 1971 has been a museum. It dates from the C19th and at its peak they employed 100 people.
There are a couple of workshops centred around a yard, with worker's cottages at one end. It was lived in by 3 generations of the Parker family from 1889 - 1929.
