Womensphere 2016 Summit on Creating the Future: Full Steam Ahead
November 7, 2016 | New York City
Womensphere’s Annual Fall Summit brought together over 200 diverse leaders and emerging leaders across sectors, including executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, artists, student leaders, and leaders from civil society. Convened on the day before the 2016 US national elections, we were thrilled to be able to come together in celebration and strength, to share, discuss, ideate, and collaborate on creating the future to accelerate the advancement of women in all fields.
We were excited to honor Morgan Stanley Vice Chairman Carla Harris with the Womensphere Global Leadership Award for her powerful and creative vision, her longstanding commitment to empowering women and youth of color, and more than a dozen other great reasons. We were happy to bring together ground-breaking innovators, executives, educators, artists, and leaders creating change for women around the world – to launch some very important initiatives. The event offered a forum for sharing and co-designing global and local programs that accelerate the advancement of women and girls in America and around the world.

It took about 90 minutes to reach Coaton Cottage, the second last house on the left on the south west end of the village of Bainskloof, the highest point of the pass. Mella arrived 30 minutes later, and Kevin 15 minutes after that, with the keys. Everyone took in their stuff to their beds. We had a room with 2 beds.
We had a lunch of chicken cooked by Kevin. In the afternoon everyone except us went for a hike to a beauty spot, and we were fully engaged preparing the dinner of tuna pasta followed by banana custard. There was no pan large enough for the tuna, so we decided to make two tuna pastas and bake them one after the other. This worked - except that it tuned out there was plenty for everybody in one pan. I had brought 16 bananas because I thought there were 16 people, but there were actually 19. Al Romano sliced the bananas. I guessed the amount of milk, and heated it in two pans. I prepared the custard powder and sugar,
and at the time I judged was right added milk to the custard powder, stirred it up, poured some of the hot milk in, and then poured the the mixture back into the heated milk pan, the way my mother taught me. The problem was that it wouldn't thicken. There was too much milk for the amount of custard powder. So I prepared a third bowl of custard powder and sugar. With this added, the custard finally decided to set. I poured it into the 16 bowls and took it into the dining room. I was the first to try it - it tasted fine! Towards the end, Kevin asked if I had some for the three who were washing up. I hadn't. One of them didn't want it, and the other two
shared Kevin's, which had been augmented by someone else's. In the evening L-A gave a class on prophetic art, which was well received, and they were all colouring some of her drawings before long. She had long wanted to do this for the Riverview kids, but the windy spot by the dry swimming pool where the Wednesday ministry meets is unsuitable for an art class. During the evening Mella discovered she had lost her drivers licence, R 400 and some cosmetics. Syrita had carried one of her bags at some point during the day which contained the licence and the money, and she thought it might have fallen out of the bag. This episode cast a pall over the event.

Would never have thought that learning to clap would be either that difficult, or that rewarding, guess I know better now! With a vintage preset from www.ononesoftware.com/products/lightroom-presets/

Through a sponsored cycle and walk by the Learning Shop, Arbroath a total of £200 was raised in November, 2002, to help them make a booklet for their own use. The event started at Keptie Pond and ran to Denhead of Arbirlot and back, 10 miles in total. The picture shows some of the participants and those who supported the money raising. They were, from left - Jim Stanford, Sandra Ogilvie, Roy Milne, Marianne Nicol, Don Stewart, Ron Petrie, Jean Brown and Joyce Carle.

Loyola volunteers tutor student athletes in academic subjects and assist in ACT/SAT preparation sessions through the ELEVATE program. As part of the program, Loyola students also assist in the development of student athletes on the court with basketball skill development and conditioning training for some of New Orleans' best junior high and high school basketball players.
The mission of the Elevate program is to improve the lives of inner-city youth through mentor-based programs in athletics, academics, fitness and social development. The program's aim is to close the achievement gap by ensuring that these teens have access to afterschool and summer developmental programs free of charge.
I selected the theme for this week's Project 52 photo. Knowing I was going to a conference, I chose "learning". This photo shows a workshop at that conference that I was leading together with a good friend. Here is where we put the participants to work either on their own or in groups. I do get a bit of a thrill seeing people involved in eager discussions. It's inspiring.
The conference is TCUK - short for Technical Communication UK. It's the conference for the ISTC, Institute for Scientific and Technical Communicators, based in the UK.
