2020: Seats at the Table: Women, Peace & Security
Seats at the Table: Women, Peace and Security recognizes the power of women as storytellers, activists, and strategists and honors the continued commitments to this work on the 20th anniversary of the UN Security Council's landmark resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
We believe that understanding others' perspectives is at the heart of meaningful engagement with conflict resolution and a key competency to global leadership. Understanding that the personal is political, Global Week 2020 will explore women's experiences, voices, and activism in the context of peace and security:
Women as storytellers. Balancing Narratives — Who has the power and access to construct narratives, particularly in armed conflicts? How have women been part of or pushed back from building these narratives? How have new communication tools changed how we understand and engage with conflict?
Women as activists. Building Belonging — How can we change the way we relate to conflict? How do we talk to people with differing perspectives and experiences? How do we create communities that hold space for competing narratives and perspectives?
Women as strategists. Gendered Experiences — What are the consequences of our deeply gendered experiences of the world? How does an intersectional lens change the way we experience conflict and peacemaking?
"Almost 20 years since the adoption of resolution 1325, we don't just need to be at the peace table. It's time to redesign the table." ~Sharon Bhagwan-Rolls, Chair of the Board of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict
Global Week 2020 will be a 4-day experience from Monday, January 6—Thursday, January 9, 2020.

2019: The Promises and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence
The GW 2019 Agenda
Monday, January 7 — Thursday, January 10
During the week our all-school activities will take the shape of listening to keynote speakers and panels and participating in dynamic group workshops on the following topics:
The Art in Artificial Intelligence
In conjunction with Global Week 2019, The Art in Artificial Intelligence featuring interactive art pieces by Yotam Mann, Purin Phanichphant, and Anastasia Victor will be on exhibition. While remaining neutral on the debate between optimists and pessimists, the exhibit aims to examine other tangible forms of AI as perceived by artists and creatives working with technology. Part educational and part thought-provoking, the show aims to attract and spark dialogue among thought-leaders in the field, as well as aspiring next-generation technologists.
Opening Reception with Artists: Tues Jan 8, 5:00-7:00pm
Exhibition on view: Anita Seipp Gallery, Mon Jan 7, 2019 - Fri Jan 18, 2019
Includes workshop descriptions, speaker bios, and schedules for each grade level.
Global Week 2019
This year's Global Week The Promises and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence investigated how might we push the boundaries and understand the limits of artificial intelligence today and in the future.
AI in our Daily Lives — how does AI support us in tasks and challenges in our daily lives?
Big Data — how might AI help us solve intractable problems and identify solutions more effectively?
Algorithmic Accountability – how might AI manage risk?
Equity and Bias – how might AI respond to and shape social and cultural bias?
Inspired Creativity — how might AI help us understand the power of collaboration and inspire us to be more creative?
Personal Responsibility — how should we engage with and shape algorithmically-driven processes and decisions?
2018: Equity in Education
Everything we do in life, from tying your shoes to performing brain surgery, is learned. So education is as key to survival as food. Just as there should be equity and fairness in everybody having enough food to survive, there should be equity and fairness in education.
Download the booklet which includes workshop descriptions, speaker bios, and schedules for each grade level.
What will we think about both during the year and during Global Week?
Community Learning Opportunities and Conversations
Equity is a complicated topic because it includes questions of access and resource distribution that are driven by both social and cultural norms and economic factors. These norms and factors look different around the globe, and there are many competing points of view about rights and best practices in the field of education. Our theme is designed to help us understand what questions to ask when we are trying to understand what makes an educational experience equitable in a specific context.
Grade-Level Learning Opportunities and Conversations
Depending upon each classes' grade-level theme and classroom projects and discussions, students will have different opportunities to learn more about both the terminology (i.e. access, resource distribution, social factors, cultural factors, economic factors) and the concepts we'll be talking about during Global Week.
What will the keynote topics be during Global Week?
During the week our all-school activities will take the shape of listening to keynote speakers and panels and participating in dynamic group workshops on the following topics:
|Is Education a Human Right?
Jonathan Jansen, author of Leading for Change: Race, Intimacy and Leadership on Divided University Campuses, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State in South Africa, and recipient of the inaugural Alumni Excellence in Education Award, Stanford University.
The Challenges and Power of EdTech: Equity and Access to Skills and Competency Acquisition
Explore tools and hear stories from leading voices in the EdTech space. These innovators are striving to re-imagine how technology can enhance learning without undermining our capacity to think critically, develop a depth of knowledge on a subject, and engage face-to-face with one another.
Equity in Education: The Global Learning Landscape** Panel: Hear from activists and educators who are shaping the learning landscape in communities across the globe. Special guests include activist and community leader Thulani Madondo, Executive Director of Kliptown Youth Program in South Africa, 2012 CNN Hero, 2013 200 Young South Africans Making A Difference awardee
Equity in Education for Girls: "Righting History"** Rosie Rios, 43rd Treasurer of the United States of America
C-Education: Student Voice and Choice to Hear from Local Educators and Equity Leaders
Equity in Education: Closing the Opportunity Gap in the United States** Prudence Carter, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at U.C. Berkeley and author of Stubborn Roots: Race, Culture, and Inequality in U.S. & South African Schools (2012) and Closing the Opportunity Gap: What America Must Do to Give Every Child an Even Chance (2013), co-edited with Dr. Kevin Welner
EVENING EVENT: Education Transforming Lives, Daily Challenges in a Broader Context. Joel Samoff, Jonathan Jansen, and Thulani Madondo
Equity in Education: Local Challenges and Local Solutions Panel Discussion
2017: Migration - Living in a World on the Move
Our guiding questions exemplify the complexity of the topic and the nuanced arguments for and against specific international, national, and personal positions.
Human Migration Patterns Across Time
Why do people migrate?
How do we trace the migrations of humans over time?
Nations, Borders, and the Construction of Citizenship
How do people organize themselves?
How do core beliefs turn into governing structures and laws?
How does maintaining a national border affect the quality of life within a region?
How do people protect themselves and their interests?
Is citizenship exclusionary? What does "inclusive citizenship look like?
Why are there laws around migration?
Migration Beyond the Law
Why do people migrate off the grid? Why do people migrate beyond traditional structures of borders, nationality, or citizenship? What risks do they face?
What types of status do off the grid migrants have in their new communities?
How does the extent to which migrant groups assimilate (culturally, socially, and politically) play a role in their status?
Imagining the Future
What are the essential human rights that should be afforded all people?
What are the tensions between concepts of nationalism and citizenship and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
How are the current social, political, intellectual, cultural, and economic forces affecting the traditional concepts of citizenship?
This year the week concludes by honoring migration stories of our nation's past and imagining a more inclusive future for all of us with a concert by At the Table with Dr. King. The celebration will highlight the events of the Civil Rights Movement and hopefully inspire our students to assume responsibility for their own role as strong leaders in the world beyond our circle.

2014: Artists with a Cause
Thank you to everyone who engaged in Global Week 2014: Artists with a Cause. We were so pleased so share the week engaging with students, employees, and community members. All ages were seen getting down with New Style Motherlode, exploring the role of plastic in the world with One Beach Plastic, learning the beauty of graffiti art with Mural, Music and Arts Project, and much, much more. Here is a brief recap of some of the amazing projects the students were working on during the entirety of the week.
Middle School
The 6th Grade worked with Daniel Barash, creating shadow puppet movies around a global issue of the students' choice. 7th Graders were inspired by speakers, movies and workshops focused on food justice, as well as a visit to the San Francisco Ferry Building. The 8th Grade interviewed elders from the Stevenson House and then wrote up their stories. The week culminated in an art project given to the elders to represent their life story.
Upper School
The 9th Grade worked with presentation guru Michael Moon on their year-long interdisciplinary project. The 10th Grade students worked with entrepreneur Jess Munro to create and develop their own innovative solution to a global issue. We missed the 11th Grade on campus; however, they were off engaging with the global community on their Investigator trip in either China, India, Guatemala or France. The 12th Grade worked on three separate projects: a photographic essay, led by Amanda Jones, documentary films with MTV World's Raeshem Nijhon, and a school graffiti mural.
Elective Workshops
All students had the opportunity to connect with local and global artists, as well as do hands-on work during their elective selections. Some beautified our campus in a student-led "graffiti moss" elective, others learned the art of plating with local social entrepreneur Kathleen Hughes of Ada's Café, while others learned about the art of merchandising when they designed a teen pendant for the American market to support the organization Made by Survivors.

2013: Standing Up and Speaking Out
Youth Speaks officially kicked off Global Week 2013, "Social Change: Standing Up and Speaking Out". Youth Speaks is a non-profit, which empowers the next generation of leaders, self-defined artists, and visionary activists through written and oral literacies. They challenge youth to find, develop, publicly present, and apply their voices as creators of social change.
During the week, students engaged in a variety of experiences. Week-long workshops focused on Grassroots Movements, Social Media and the Protestor, the Political Process, and Partnership in Action.

tyler is there going to be a version for the B&O C&O by chance or will one of these versions work for those?
tyler is there going to be a version for the B&O C&O by chance or will one of these versions work for those?
These look great Tyler! Thanks for all the work you're doing, it's all top notch stuff.
Thanks Tyler,nice sets.
Thanks again! I made up some blank layered templates today for GIMP 2.8 so the locomotives can be repainted using those. Just send me an email (in the Readme) for the Dropbox links. Blank .ace files take more effort because of all of the minute details between each of the shapes (different horns, etc.). It's much easier to share the texture templates, plus the repainters get to use the weathering layers I made if they want to. I should make up some ditchlights for you modern folks as well.
I intend to make up some additional roadnames for the SD40s as I find time. B&O/C&O is one that I thought of, and it would go nicely with CNJ. I'm sure PRR/PC/Conrail will be one, as well as L&N. I'll probably move on to update the SD38/SD39 too.
I'll also eventually finish and release the 1990s and 2000s versions of the IC units as well. The 2000s version requires me to rebuild the control stand for the 3D cab, so it will take a bit more effort. That 3D cab took about as much time to build as the locomotive shapes themselves.
I'm a bit impulsive with modeling, so here's a preview of my next project:
IC GP40 3074 by sunnhead60, on Flickr
I'll eventually do both versions of the IC GP40s. They had 75 of them.
Now all I need is a trainload of motivation and focus!
THANK you sooooooooooooooooooo much! I am so happy to hear you will update the SD38 /SD39 units can I ask what is diffrent on the SD35 and would it just be editing the eng file down to the correct settings? Again thank you for including some other road names as well.
I'm not much of a IC ICG fan as i know very little ( don't hurt me) about them. BUT these are beautiful and fill in the GMO set that is no longer available.
The SD35 is much different than the SD38/39/40. The SD35 is much shorter, like a kid with too-big shoes on. It would be possible to edit the shape down to an SD35, but that will likely be a distant-future project. It involves much more effort than what is needed to convert an SD40 to an SD38/39. I'm still hoping to do a Paducah SD20 at some point, and the last 4 SD20s were ex-B&O SD35s, so that frame will be made some day.
I suspect that a version of the SD40a cab view could go down very well with SP people, given that they had many units with the 'L' shaped windscreen.
onen hag oll!

Today my latest paper was accepted for publication in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. A preprint of the accepted version can be downloaded and viewed here. The title of the paper is Higher Ocean Wind Speeds During Marine Cold Air Outbreaks. Here's the abstract:
Marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs) are large-scale events in which cold air masses are advected over open ocean. It is well-known that these events are linked to the formation of polar lows and other mesoscale phenomena associated with high wind speeds, and that they therefore in some cases represent a hazard to maritime activities. However, it is still unknown whether MCAOs are generally conducive to higher wind speeds than normal. Here this is investigated by comparing ocean near-surface wind speeds during MCAOs in atmospheric reanalysis products with different horizontal grid spacings, along with two case studies using a convection-permitting numerical weather prediction model. The study regions are the Labrador Sea and the Greenland–Iceland–Norwegian (GIN) Seas, where MCAOs have been shown to be important for air–sea interaction and deep water formation. One of the main findings is that wind speeds during the strongest MCAO events are higher than normal and higher than wind speeds during less severe events. Limited evidence from the case studies suggests that reanalyses with grid spacings of more than 50 km underestimate winds driven by the large ocean–atmosphere energy fluxes during MCAOs. The peak times of MCAO usually occur when baroclinic waves pass over the regions. Therefore, the strong wind episodes during MCAOs generally last for just a few days. However, MCAOs can persist for 50 days or more.

DP11950 Uncertainty shocks, asset supply and pricing over the business cycle
|Francesco Bianchi, Cosmin Ilut, Martin Schneider
|Publication Date:
|April 2017
|Asset Pricing, Business cycle, DSGE, Markov-switching
|Programme Areas:
|Financial Economics, Monetary Economics and Fluctuations
|Link to this Page:
This paper estimates a business cycle model with endogenous financial asset supply and ambiguity averse investors. Firms' shareholders choose not only production and investment, but also capital structure and payout policy subject to financial frictions. An increase in uncertainty about profits lowers stock prices and leads firms to substitute away from debt as well as reduce shareholder payout. This mechanism parsimoniously accounts for postwar comovement in investment, stock prices, leverage and payout, at both business cycle and medium term cycle frequencies. Ambiguity aversion permits a Markov-Switching VAR representation of the model, while preserving the effect of uncertainty shocks on the time variation in the equity premium.

Cape Town - Hurricanes Chris Boyd has named his team for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Bulls in Pretoria (15:05 kick-off).
Vaea Fifita will start at blindside flank for the first time this season in a re-shuffled Hurricanes team named for the clash at Loftus Versfeld.
Fifita, who has started the last four matches at lock, will join openside Ardie Savea and No 8 Brad Shields in a new-look loose forward trio.
Fifita's positional shift allows Mark Abbott to return to his regular starting spot in the second row and pushes versatile loose forward Reed Prinsep to the bench.
There are two other changes to the team that started against the Cheetahs in Wellington last week, with Jordie Barrett returning at fullback and Loni Uhila making his first start since round three at loosehead prop.
Jordie Barrett replaces older brother Beauden, who moves back to his favoured position of flyhalf in place of Otere Black, while Uhila takes over in the loosehead jersey from Ben May.
The three players in the Hurricanes 26-strong tour squad not selected in the match-day 23 this week were Cory Jane, James Blackwell and James O'Reilly.
15 Jordie Barrett, 14 Wes Goosen, 13 Vince Aso, 12 Ngani Laumape, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara (captain), 8 Brad Shields, 7 Ardie Savea, 6 Vaea Fifita, 5 Sam Lousi, 4 Mark Abbott, 3 Jeff To'omaga-Allen, 2 Ricky Riccitelli, 1 Loni Uhila
Substitutes: 16 Leni Apisai, 17 Chris Eves, 18 Ben May, 19 Reed Prinsep, 20 Callum Gibbins, 21 Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi, 22 Otere Black, Ben Lam 23

THE LAND OF MY MOTHERS!; Latest Statistics Reveal How Women Are Taking over Wales
Byline: JENNIE BIBBINGS
WALES is becoming a woman's world, stunning new statistics have revealed. Today, we show you the facts that prove that Welsh women are coming into their own - they're charging ahead with their careers and rejecting marriage and motherhood until later in life. They're living longer than Welsh men and taking better care of their health, too. Teenage girls are working harder at school than ever before, and two-thirds of students going on to further education are female. But there's a downside to this new empowerment, with more women getting into crime - especially motoring offences. These are the figures, released this week by the National Assembly as part of its 2001 Digest of Welsh Statistics, that show why the future in Wales is female. JENNIE BIBBINGS reports
MARRIAGE Fewer women are marrying before their 24th birthday. . . If you were a single 24-year-old girl only a few decades ago you'd be called a spinster - not any more. Numbers of women saying "I do" before they reach 24 are down to a trickle - 3,217 in 1999, compared with 9,568 in 1989. More women are marrying after their 30th birthday. . . Chances are, if you're a bride in Wales these days you're a thirtysomething. In 1989, there were 5,128 women marrying over the age of 30, but by last year that figure had risen to 6,342. Fewer people overall in Wales are getting married. . Gone are the days when all a woman wanted was a ring on her finger - the number of wedding ceremonies in Wales is at an all-time low. In 1999, 14,025 ceremonies took place, compared with 19,453 10 years before.
FAMILY Fewer women are having babies. . . The number of babies being born in Wales today is lower than ever - in fact, last year more people died in Wales than were born. The birth rate for 2000 was just 54.8 per 1,000 women, compared with 65.4 10 years ago. Fewer Welsh teenagers are getting pregnant. . . Wales has long been branded the teen pregnancy capital of western Europe, but these new stats show that Welsh teen girls are wising up - last year, 106 girls under 16 had babies, compared with 141 five years ago. Women are leaving it later to have children. . . The numbers of women having kids between the ages of 16 and 29 are plummeting - 18,741 last year compared with 25,161 in 1993. But at the same time more Welsh women aged 35 and over are starting a family, with 4,228 women over 35 giving birth last year, compared with 3,238 in 1993. More births than ever are taking place outside marriage. . . Welsh women no longer believe that if you want to be a mam, you need a man - in 1993, 35.2 per cent of all babies were illegitimate, but by last year that figure had shot up to 45.2 per cent.
HEALTH Women are living longer than men. . . Welsh women can expect to live, on average, five years longer than Welsh blokes. And we've got more female OAPs than male - today in Wales there are 17,000 women aged over 90, and only 4,500 men over 90 years old. Cancer kills more men than women. . . It's a sad fact that more Welsh men die of cancer every year than women. Because there are more females than males in Wales, the death toll for women is always higher, but still last year 4,251 men lost their lives to cancer, compared with 4,052 women. More men commit suicide. . . Men in Wales are much more likely to kill themselves than females - last year 234 men and 63 women committed suicide. Most of the men were in the 2534 age bracket while the majority of the women were middleaged, between 45 and 54. Women eat more healthily than men. . . While men are more likely to be seen sweating it out at the gym, women in Wales are much better at watching what they put in their bodies. Men eat more sugar and use more artery-clogging solid cooking fat; women munch on more fresh fruit and veg, wholemeal bread and skimmed milk. Men are heavier boozers than women. . . While the number of women drinkers is up generally, they don't take it to extremes like Welsh blokes are famed for doing. …

Synopsis for 1st story
Perusing the aisles of Grocery Etc, Gwen Stacy ponders how the Venom symbiote has made her ravenously hungry despite consuming a large quantity of junk food, and that no matter what or how much she eats nothing tastes right nor satiates her. Noticing the Bodega Bandit robbing the store of ice cream sandwiches, she follows him and transforms into Venom. Noting that all her appetites are out of control, Venom pounces on him from behind as he celebrates his successful robbery. As he cowers before her, Venom coldly dismisses him as ridiculous and pathetic, calling him everything that's wrong with the world and stating that she's tired and bored of this obnoxious game. Pleading for mercy, the Bodega Bandit confesses he never wanted to be a criminal living on the streets, but that he became addicted to the thrill after his first robbery and can't stop himself anymore. Spotting a missing poster set up by the Mary Janes, Venom departs, leaving the Bandit confused and terrified.
The next morning Detective Jean DeWolff and Officer Fletcher Boyle speak to Marvin, the owner of Grocery Etc, about what had happened. When Marvin states he's afraid that Spider-Woman will attack him, DeWolff assures him that Spider-Woman is confused, angry, and in pain due to someone close to her having been badly injured. Marvin asks if that person is George Stacy, and when Boyle tries to deflect, DeWolff interrupts and confirms it. Marvin tells DeWolff that after George Stacy was brutally beaten while under police protection he has no confidence in their ability to handle Spider-Woman. Leaving the store, Boyle apologizes to DeWolff, saying that he thought they'd finally gotten a lead on Spider-Woman; and she notes that the fact that Spider-Woman hadn't turned the Bodega Bandit in concerns her more than Frank Castle having gone rogue and starting a war with the Kingpin. Spotting the missing person poster for Gwen, she takes down the number and tells Boyle they're going to call the Mary Janes.
At the playground, Gwen solicits Reed Richards' help in breaking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s maximum-security prison. Reed notes that he can easily bypass S.H.I.E.L.D.'s encryption and find Cindy Moon's cell, but observes that Gwen's new look and behavior strike him as borderline diabolical. Gwen acknowledges that he's right but promises not to hurt Cindy, saying she needs the S.I.L.K. leader's help. Reed warns Gwen that Cindy won't help her for free and that she can't owe a person like her, but Gwen replies that everything started with the spider Cindy made and released into the wild, and that if anything Cindy owes her. Infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D.'s prison using Reed's portal device, Venom notices a couple of guards gossiping and decides to borrow one of Miles Morales' tricks: turning invisible. Sneaking up behind the guards, she knocks them out and then opens the door to Cindy's cell, finding her meditating. Without turning around or opening her eyes, Cindy mocks Gwen's attempt at stealth and how cliched donning black to reflect her angst is.
Telling her to get in and close the door, Cindy asks Gwen what it is she thinks she wants, but Venom angrily grabs her by the throat and then throws her to the floor, demanding to know why Cindy ruined her life. Cindy notes she'd expected Gwen to ask her "how" — how to defeat Matt Murdock, how to control the symbiote — and then tells Gwen she wasted half her life trying to recapture a moment that had passed her by: replicating the radioactive spider that would have given her powers had it not been killed; but when she finally succeeded, she'd been terrified of the prospect of failure. Rather than use it on herself to gain the power she'd desired, Cindy had set it loose into the world where it had bitten Gwen. Furious at Cindy's flippant answer, Venom slams her into a wall, but Cindy reiterates that she'd been afraid not only that the spider would have failed to grant her powers, but that it would have succeeded. Telling Gwen that the rage and fear and doubt driving her to violence aren't the work of the symbiote but her own emotions, Cindy challenges her to let go of her hatred towards Murdock; then returns to meditating as additional guards arrive and break down the door of her cell. As Venom attacks them, she assures Gwen that she can overcome her fear and hatred if she tries, then asks if Gwen has the courage to do so.
At Betty's apartment, Em Jay outlines her plans for the group to hand out fliers across all of Manhattan. When Glory urges her to calm down and rest, Em Jay snaps that she has no intention of doing so and that Gwen needs their help. Glory states that if Gwen is Spider-Woman that means she's been on her own for longer than they realized; and as sad as it is that they weren't able to support her sooner, they can't make up for it in one day. Betty sends a text to Falcon asking for his help just as there is a knock at their door. Glory opens it to see May and Ben Parker holding one of their fliers.
As Venom prowls a cell-block of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s prison complex, she spots a cell door labelled "Hardy, Felicia". Peering inside to see the former Black Cat lying on a cot and wearing an orange jumpsuit, Gwen retracts the symbiote from her face and asks why she's locked up in a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. Reed opens a portal and tells Gwen to hurry up, so she offers to bust Felicia out. Felicia refuses and glumly remarks that Murdock has won, that everyone and everything not already under his control soon will be, and that this is the price she paid for failing to kill him.
Onboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Falcon throws a tantrum over not being allowed to participate in Spider-Woman and the Kingpin's grudge match. Dismissing Spider-Woman as a distraction, Director Peggy Carter has Agent Clay Quartermain read a list of global-scale threats -- including a eugenics war on Mt. Wundagore and a plague of Thor frogs in the Gulf of Mexico -- for him to tackle instead. Director Carter tries to bribe Falcon into compliance, so he relents and sends a text message to Captain America asking her to find Gwen. Standing in the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison looking over the unconscious agents left in Venom's wake, Captain America replies that she's already on the case.

One of the biggest debates of our times is the controversial tampon tax. Government parties have made promises, and debated, for years around abolishing the tax – a tax that makes sanitary products more expensive, affecting the poorer members of our society.
Since 1973 sanitary products, including tampons and towels, have been taxed in five different ways – the current tax sits at 5% in the UK. Now, a handy calculator has been created by the BBC to reveal how much spending we actually do. The calculator details an estimate on what we have already spent and what we could spend in a lifetime, including a breakdown on VAT.
Results are based on the assumptions that you have 13 periods a year, use 22 tampons or towels per cycle, start menopause at age 51 and tampons and towels cost 13p per unit. It is a rough estimation but also reveals a shocking value already spent – newsflash, it's enough for a summer holiday.
Having a tampon tax of 5% may seem ridiculous at present, but think about the ladies back in 1991 when the tax sat at 17.5%. The Labour government introduced the low tax rate in 2001 and it is the lowest possible rate available from the EU's VAT rules. It could always be worse, after all.
Despite the low tax rate, calls for zero-rate in all sanitary products has reached fever pitch. In October 2015, after a petition from activist Laura Coryton created a petition to abolish tampon tax received 320,000 signatures; the government confirmed they would seek to change EU law to allow the tax rate for sanitary products to be lowered.
In recent months the tampon tax has been used to fund women's charities – including a controversial donation to an anti-abortion charity. As the government drags its heels on the tampon tax, supermarket giant Tesco cut their prices of nearly 100 sanitary products to cover the 5% VAT cost.
The movement is gaining headway, and it is predicted by 2018 the European Commission will bring in zero-rate sanitary products and the UK government has legislated to allow this to happen as soon as the rule changes.
Time will tell if the changes will be effective and put into place. For now let's have a little bit of 'fun' and discover how much of our hard earned cash has been unnecessarily taken from us for the luxury of sanitary products.

The Waiting Shawl is beautiful, but incredibly easy to make. It is the perfect project for beginners looking to try out their newly acquired stitches. It is also an excellent companion for a Netflix box set, for any waiting rooms and for car journeys.
The yarn used for the sample shawl is Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim DK in shade 4, but it can be made in any yarn with the appropriate hook size. A more experienced crocheter working with a finer yarn(such as 4ply merino or even lace weight) would achieve excellent results. I recommend using a hook one size larger than usual for the yarn. I used a 4.5mm hook for the sample. The shawl is worked from side to side and the sample was made by continuing until all the yarn was used up, so it is easy to make it smaller or larger without any adjustments to the pattern.

text: The world may not have needed a Thai-language martial-arts hybrid of Kill Bill and Rain Man, but by God, it's got one now. Already chopped into countless snippets and strewn across YouTube, director Prachya Pinkaew's follow-up to the mighty Muay Thai epics Ong-Bak and The Protector offers more of everything: more score-settling for the West's Asian-action culture thievery, more maudlin interludes, and more knees, fists, and elbows to the skull than the oeuvres of Bruce Lee and Vince McMahon combined. In place of his former leading man Tony Jaa, Pinkaew offers instant action hero JeeJa Yanin as an autistic girl who instinctively apes the fights she sees in movies and video games. When her ex-moll mom develops cancer, the girl goes collecting on old debts to pay for her treatment—and if you can stop goggling at the tasteless premise, the formula of a slight, scrawny chick pulverizing brawny thugs never loses its fist-pumping appeal. Though the plot just lets Pinkaew restage the same fight over and over on different sets, let it also be said that they get bigger and better each time—culminating in a neck-snapping, head-busting, leg-twisting, gravity-defying free-for-all played out on ledges high above a city street. This is backyard wrestling as cinema, and you can judge for yourself if that's a recommendation or a warning. Memo to Magnolia's genre-movie subsidiary Magnet, which also put out the excellent Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In: More, please.

Sanctuary Housing sponsored an exciting football tournament which took place at the annual Well Street Common Festival last weekend.
Local young residents came out in force to compete in the tournament, with Victoria Park FC being the undefeated winner of the under 11 groups and Class FC crowned the winner of the under 14 teams.
The football tournament, sponsored every year by Sanctuary and organised by community sports group Y2K, was also supported by Gascoyne and Morningside Youth Club and Tesco, who were giving away free refreshments and snack packs to the players.
Jo Revett, Sanctuary Housing's neighbourhood partnerships manager, said: "It was lovely to see so many people supporting the festival and the football tournament.

Hundreds of people also enjoyed a variety of free activities at the festival which was organised by local resident forum Well Street Common User Group. Residents were treated to live music, a barbeque, a family dog show, the tea tent and a cake competition.

Caroline Gregory, from the Well Street Common User Group, added: "It was a marvellous day and lovely to see everyone out enjoying the common in the lovely weather.
"The festival this year was one of the most successful since it began."
The football event was funded by Sanctuary Group's Community Investment Fund, supporting projects which benefit Sanctuary residents and their communities.

The world's capital markets are undergoing a massive transformation.
The rapid progress of new technology and the transition to a low carbon economy are disrupting traditional industries. But they also present investors with opportunities.
In our latest report, 'Driving Disruption', we've examined 16 of the world's largest publicly-listed auto companies, including the likes of Toyota, Ford and General Motors to see just how fast this transformation is happening.
Here's four of the major trends to look out for:
1. The future is green
A third of new car sales are expected to be zero emissions and plug-in hybrid by 2030. That represents a $1 trillion market.
Electric vehicles (EVs) could be as affordable as petrol and diesel cars as soon as 2022, making it easier for carmakers to profit from the low carbon transition.
This is creating enormous business opportunities, especially in China, which is now the largest vehicle market in the world and is setting aggressive targets for EVs.
2. Low carbon innovation is the road to future sales
The car makers have invested more than $11 billion in companies specializing in autonomous and shared vehicles such as Lyft since 2015. They also spend more on research and development than most other sectors in this time.
Companies such as General Motors are working towards an "all-electric future". They've set ambitious automation targets and have invested heavily in self-driving cars and ride-sharing services.
In the chart below, we show which companies are most advanced in their automation targets, where grade 2 indicates partial automation and grade 5 indicates full automation.
Autonomous vehicle company targets(iii)
(i) Daimler also have plans to develop the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 that will operate at Level 3.
(ii) Mazda Co-Pilot concept would require technologies equivalent to Level 4, which the company is looking to standardize by 2025.
(iii) We note that Jaguar Land Rover are researching fully autonomous but driveable technology (Level 4) with the FUTURE-TYPE concept, no target dates have been communicated but the company is looking out to 2040.
Sources: CDP, company reports, Marketwatch, SAE International
3. The transition is also creating financial risks
Half of carmakers still risk penalties by missing their emissions targets. The fines could be high, with up to €940 million at risk for some companies.
The EU requires carmakers to have reduced their emissions by a fifth by 2021, from a 2016 baseline.
To meet these targets, many will have to dramatically increase the number of EVs in their fleet.
4. Profits are going off road
Technology and software firms, such as Uber and Google are already taking market share away from the traditional car market players.
Over 20% of automotive company profits are expected to shift to tech suppliers and ride-sharing services by 2030, according to forecasts by PwC.
Driving global change
The automotive sector is enormously important to the global economy.
Its transformation is vital if we are to meet the Paris Agreement's aim of keeping global warming well below 2ºC.
Our report shows the sector has become a poster child for changes in other industries. Its transformation is set to have a dramatic impact on demand for oil and electricity.
How quickly car manufacturers adopt new business models and adapt to the low carbon transition will tell us a lot about disruption in other parts of the global economy.

On Wednesday 9th October, Mulberry School for Girls students were able to meet Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning, in advance of the release of their film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. This formed part of the school's celebration of the International Day of the Girl. Both actresses are inspiring as independent career-driven women.
On 28th March, Mulberry School for Girls hosted our annual Youth Conference. Its title was 'Unite against Hate' and it explored intersectionality between race, gender and other aspects of our identities.
We invited delegates to consider ways in which they were privileged as well as ways in which they were disadvantaged and challenged them to decide on actions they could take to make a difference.
The annual Youth Conference is planned and led by Year 12 students who invited guest speakers and panellists and selected workshops. Our guest speakers included Jude Kelly and Jess Ihejetoh, from the Women of the World Foundation; Dumaeza Nhlapo, a youth worker from the charity The Feast; Iman Qureshi, playwright; and Gareth Esson, a sexual health, relationships and well-being education consultant.
Tina Tchen, lawyer and former Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama, returned to Mulberry on 28th June to share afternoon tea with students from all years and to join Year 11 students' graduation celebration.
Students at the afternoon tea were able to ask Tina questions about her return to being a lawyer after her time at the White House and to gain her ideas on how they can prepare themselves to make as big an impact on the world as she has.
Tina tweeted:
"Always amazing to spend time and have conversations with Mulberry girls. These are our future leaders of the world."
For this year's International Women's Day, four students from Year 10 and Year 12 represented Mulberry School for Girls at a reception for the Women of the World Festival, hosted by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, President of WOW, at her royal residence Clarence House.
Not only did students develop their networking skills, they also had the unique and memorable opportunity to meet inspiring female role models, including the Duchess of Cornwall herself.

A real shift in defensive attitude saw Plan A come out of the blocks looking sharp - immediately putting DB on the back foot with some heavy shots. Some I'll discipline kept DB in the game but ultimately the strong performance by the forwards, who pretty much won every scrum, proved too much for DB to handle. A great showing from Plan A who were back to their dominating beat heading into the last round before the break.Tries: Tags, Moyners (x2) and Paddy

It's amazing how much better one feels after a good 9 hours of sleep especially considering how beat up I felt after yesterday's run. With 10 miles on the schedule for today it was out of bed at 6:30, a smoothie, power coffee and catching up on the interwebz before I got ready to hit the road.
It was another cool morning with a light breeze and the plan was to take it easyish. First mile warmup went well and HR stayed low even though it was a "fast" mile at 11:30. This is one of the things I've noticed about having my long run on Saturday; that I am faster on Sunday with a lower HR. I have no idea why this is but I'm not going to argue with what my body is telling me.
Since everything was in my favor I knew I could just let my legs dictate the pace and that I did. Only once did my HRM give me a buzz and that was only because I sped up to cross a street. Mostly I stayed comfortably in the 129-134 bpm range for the entire run while clicking off miles between 9:45 and 9:58. There was an outlier of 9:31 on mile 9 but that is due to a slight decline with a bit of a tailwind.
I was very happy with the way the run went and even caught a glimpse of a bunny scurrying for cover so that makes for a positive outing. I also feel like I am just about back to where I was before my recovery period after the Lost Dutchman Marathon. Finally, I'm happy that the weather has been cooperating by staying on the "cool" side but I know that will soon change. Still I have a long way to go if I have any hopes of a BQ in just 4 months from now.
For now I get to recover with a rest day tomorrow before getting back at it Tuesday night.

Datebook: June 2 – Martha Washington turns 280
America's first First Lady, Martha Dandridge Custis Washington was born on June 2, 1731 (and died May 22, 1802). She was never referred to as "first lady" because the term was coined after hear death. Instead, she was known as "Lady Washington." Often depicted as a frumpy elderly woman, new research into her life has evidenced quite the contrary. Martha was a spiffy dresser, assertive and a woman of independent means (with sole control over her wealth from a previous marriage and of her childrens' inheritance). She is also described as "loving her husband madly." She joined George on the battlefield each year to care for and provide morale for the troops. Happy birthday Martha!
