Kristina Viduka
Director of Marketing Innovation @ Maple Leaf Foods
"Our (first) project alone is projected to add $6 million dollars to the bottom line!"
Even before I was on board with the project, Robyn was a tremendous help because she helped build the competency from scratch with the management and leadership team.
Like most change initiatives, the hardest part was getting people on-board. Throughout the journey, Robyn was a voice of reason, coach, cheerleader, ally, therapist, sounding board, and the support I needed to continue leading this department.
Innovation is a long process, and we don't have concrete results yet, but we just kicked off the first innovation project and this project alone is projected to add $6 million dollars to the bottom line! Plus, we have more projects coming down the pipeline!
Future Vision Co-Chair
"The team was able to grow stronger and learn from each other"
We knew our organization needed to be more strategic towards long-term operations in order to plan ahead and prioritize the resources. We needed to create a vision of the future, to determine our goals and how to get there.
We had an idea of what we needed from the process; Robyn helped design the details. She achieved the vision out of the process. But more importantly she helped build teamwork around the process. The team was able to grow stronger and learn from each other; they had an amazing journey.
Processes do not matter, it's the relationship that does. Everyone has process, what matters is you can trust her to be on your side. We can trust her to give honest opinions- not say 'yes' to make everyone happy. Robyn brought a lot of emotional intelligence to the project.

Senior Director of Program Management @ Oxford Immunotec
"Our CEO immediately adopted and acted on the recommendations"
Robyn stands out from other consultants. Yes, she delivers the "answer" but there is so much more: she didn't tell us "what" and "why" to change, she engaged us in a positive manner to help us understand why and how to change. She listened without judgment and enabled difficult conversations
We were at a juncture with a product where there were disparate views on what had happened and what should happen. One thing we could all agree that we needed to take this opportunity to learn and improve for the future.
By working with Robyn, we built a common understanding of what happened. We realized that we were successful along several dimensions and that where we weren't successful, it was because of assumptions that were never clearly stated. We now have the knowledge of how to move forward and are applying our learnings by making changes to how we operate.
Our CEO immediately adopted and acted on the recommendations, sharing it at a company meeting. We are actively using the tools she introduced in Strategic Marketing and project management. It is amazing how much good could come out of a situation that I don't think any of us would want to experience again.
Robyn consistently exceeds expectations but what sets her apart is that she earns the respect and buy-in of the team because she is part of the team, helping everyone through the process and being there for the results.
Charlotte Weiskittel
Director of Product, Community, and TpT School Access @ Teachers Pay Teachers
"We now have…ideas we can act on, and new and repeatable approaches and tools to scale what we learned…"
Working collaboratively with Robyn was an invaluable experience for our Discovery product team. We now have a much richer understanding of our teacher users, ideas we can act on, and new and repeatable approaches and tools to scale what we learned working alongside Robyn.
Teachers Pay Teachers is a marketplace for educators to find the resources they need to teach at their best. Our platform has been used by over 5M teachers in the last year and collectively our teacher users have downloaded 1B resources. With that volume of activity, we have a lot of data that we use to learn about behavior on our marketplace, but before working with Robyn, we didn't really understand the functional and emotional jobs-to-be-done of our teacher users. We wanted to understand their mindsets when discovering, evaluating, and using educational resources they find online.
Robyn led thoughtful and thorough calls with our educators, and we discovered her superpower: synthesizing learnings from many hours of conversations into smart and actionable documentation. The ideation session she facilitated introduced us to new ideation tools that led to a more engaging and productive process for our cross-functional team.
To anyone thinking of working with Robyn, we would definitely say, "Do it!"

"We are interacting with our customers on a deeper level than we imagined…"
We began working with her because we wanted to better understand our best customers. We achieved all this and so much more! By watching Robyn conduct interviews, listening to the language she uses, and practicing new skills alongside her, we built our understanding and skills and are regularly doing our own Jobs to be Done research.
We are interacting with our customers on a deeper level than we imagined because of our work with Robyn. She brought energy and passion to our work together but what sets her apart is that she genuinely cares about her clients AND their customers.
I wish we could work together on a daily basis!
Janice Silver
Vice President, Intrapreneurship Academy @ The Cable Center
"In less than a year, we created and ran (multiple times!) a program that has become the industry gold standard"
In the beginning, we knew that industry leaders were searching for ways to retain their highest potential employees, and that innovation, specifically Intrapreneurship, could be key to achieving that goal. As a result, we wanted to create a program that taught Intrapreneurship, but we really didn't know how to teach it.
We feel so lucky that we found Robyn. Not only did she understand the fundamentals of Intrapreneurship and that it was a process you could teach, but she was also able to understand what we were hoping to accomplish for the cable industry, and to work quickly to go from idea to an actual pilot class in a matter of months!
Honestly, this is the best working relationship I've ever had with a consultant. Our work together is extremely collaborative, there's no ego involved. She listens to what we're trying to do, comes up with creative solutions, whips something together, and then we go back and forth until we have a really excellent product. We'll even discuss and make changes in real time during a class, making the program experience better each time. It's truly fun to work with her!
Rachel Sha
Vice President, Digital Strategy and Governance @ Sanofi
"Robyn is creative, strategic, thoughtful, organized, and thorough."
We were trying to create a new program focused on developing Strategic Thinking for women who are members of Women Inspiring Sanofi Excellence, a Sanofi Employee Resource Group. Our members span geographies, career levels, functions, business units. Therefore, the program had to be relevant regardless of where you sit within the organization. We also wanted to maximize utility and impact and tried to optimize the design and format to allow for many different ways of ingesting the content, giving ideas on how to apply it to real life.
Our webcasts had on average somewhere between 100 – 250 women listening live with an additional cohort of women listening and accessing the content asynchronously. We consistently had very positive anecdotal and survey feedback on the content and format of the program. There were women who used our content as the basis for team building as they had been recently acquired by Sanofi.
Robyn is creative, strategic, energetic, thoughtful, organized and thorough. She produces high quality work and recommendations. Robyn also did a great job moderating and conducting great interviews of leaders.

"The work Robyn did was instrumental… and allowed us to implement key capabilities…"
We began working with Robyn (when she was a Partner at Innosight) to help us define innovation management best practices, governance and an overall innovation processes.
As we worked together, she was very proactive in identifying opportunities, developing the framework and tools we needed to establish the foundation, and engaging the right stakeholders to help move the initiative forward. I also discovered her deep knowledge of innovation across industries, both in established companies and the start-up world.
The work Robyn did was instrumental in creating a broader understanding of how we wanted to manage disruptive types of innovation and allowed us to implement key capabilities to do so. I'd recommend Robyn to any organization with innovation needs.
Jeremy Lloyd
Senior Director @ Medtronic (Then)
Head of Program Office and Strategy @ Medela (Now)
"…We set the company's foundation for communicating with patients and consumers about something more than just our products."
There was no script for the work – creating a customer value proposition from scratch that accurately captured the true needs of the customer versus what they "should" want.
From the start, I trusted Robyn's experience and practical wisdom, but as we figured things out day by day, I developed an appreciation for her responsiveness, partnership, collaboration, and sense of humor when things turned out a little differently than expected! She kept us focused on the practical elements of our service and plan and helped us understand how these elements aligned with the real needs of our customers.
Ultimately, we not only delivered a relevant and meaningful service marketing campaign that resonated with patients and inspired employees, we set the company's foundation for communicating with patients and consumers about something more than just our products.
Charles Best
Founder and former CEO @ DonorsChoose
"Our work together changed how we engage with our citizen donors."
The in-depth ethnographic research Robyn and her team did for us was groundbreaking and made a lasting impact on our business!
The personas they identified really surprised us and had an immediate impact on how we approach engagement with our donors.
Years later, we continue to teach new DonorsChoose.org members about each persona's motivations and to use these personas to inform how we engage donors.
Robyn and her team did an in-depth ethnographic study of our citizen donors, speaking with them in their homes in Indianapolis and New York City.
They identified eight donor personas and then led every department in our organization through a session in which Robyn taught us about each persona and guided us as we translated donors' true motivations into new ways to engage them.
Our work together changed how we engage with our citizen donors:
We ask every donor to leave a message for the teachers and studentsto explain why they gave to a specific project because we know that a majority of our donors enjoy sharing their motivations and teachers and students love to understand the donor's intentions
We introduce selected donors to each other, encouraging them to share why they support classroom projects because we learned that one persona wanted to spend more time interacting with our organization
We added educational information about our model to check-outbecause we learned that donors who came to our site simply to support their friends' classroom project didn't fully understand our organization's strong teacher-focus
Robyn and her team took the time to really understand our organization, our mission, and our community members. We felt like they had been working with us for years, instead of a few months. And they made such a lasting impact on our business!

Getting into the swing now that the blog has passed the 2 year mark, I thought a nice side dish for upcoming holiday feasts might be nice. I suspect that this would make a good stuffing for a turkey, but I know it makes a great side dish for things like roast chicken, roast duck or goose, chicken apple sausage, and turkey burgers. The dish is savory, with just a hint of sweetness from the apple juice and a nice tang from the cranberries and orange zest.
This one is similar to a recipe I've seen (somewhere) during the last month, but it has been such a absurd month...far more to do that time to do it in...that I don't remember where I saw the idea for combining apple juice soaked cranberries with a wild and brown rice combo.
The reason I don't feel too bad about it is that I jazzed it up a bit on my own. I'm almost certain that the original recipe had not a whit of orange. Orange and cranberry are such a natural as a flavor duo that I had to add orange zest. I also cooked the rice in a combination of apple juice (the juice the cranberries had simmered in no less), water and chicken broth. A bit of minced fresh thyme was also my addition.
In a small pot, combine the cranberries and the apple juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the cranberries, reserving the apple juice.
In a medium pot, combine the brown and wild rice and the chicken broth. Measure the drained apple juice and add enough water to make 1 cup. Stir to combine.
Bring the pot of rice to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, stir, then cover with a tight lid. Let simmer about 50 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is cooked. Check during the last 10 minutes and add a little more water if rice looks like it will scorch.
Put cooked rice mixture, drained cranberries, and orange zest in a bowl. Stir to mix. Taste, then add salt and pepper to taste.
I was seeing pomegranate until I see it's cranberry. Cranberry soaked in apple juice is a dream. Your dressing looks great.
Congrats on passing 2 years! I'd love to meet you again in November!
i love orange and cranberry together, so this one sounds like a true winner!
Tanna, Cranberries are so seasonal...but so are pomegranate seeds...they would be a good addition.
Anna,I'll e-mail you some dates!
Deborah, Isn't that the best combo?!

The OG College Hoops Top 10 – March 9
You may have noticed, but probably didn't, that we wound up taking last week off from the Otto's Grove Top 10. I know, you're extremely disappointed, but let's be honest: there wasn't much change involved. But now as we gear up for March Madness, it seemed like we needed to release one final Top 10 poll for the 2014-2015 regular season. This will be the last of the year, and it ends like it began: with Kentucky and Duke dominating the whole damn thing.
Kentucky went coast to coast as the number one team in America in every poll around the nation, and deservedly so. After that, there was some back and forth shuffling between Duke, Virginia, and Wisconsin, with Gonzaga and Villanova hanging around the edges of the top five. This week's top 10 turned out to be close to a consensus, with only one extra team getting any votes. It appears that, going into the conference tournaments, the top teams are all pretty well agreed upon.
1. Kentucky (LW: 1)
2. Duke (LW: 4)
3. Virginia (LW: 2)
4. Villanova (LW: 6)
5. Wisconsin (LW: 5)
6. Arizona (LW: 7)
7. Gonzaga (LW: 3)
8. Maryland (LW: NR)
9. Kansas (LW: 9)
10. Notre Dame (LW: 8)
Also receiving votes: Northern Iowa (3)
So as you can see, Maryland was the big mover, going from not even receiving votes two weeks ago to number eight in this week's poll, while Gonzaga fell the hardest while we were away, dropping four slots down to seven.
Just missing out on cracking this week's rankings is Grambling State, which finishes the 2014-2015 regular season with a record of 2-26 overall and 0-18 in the SWAC. But hey, Grambling still has time to turn it around, and I know I'll be rooting for them when they square off against Alcorn State tomorrow in the SWAC Tournament! I mean after all, they only lost their two games against Alcorn by an average of 8.0 points per game this season. You can do it, Tigers. I believe in you.

Escaping the Prism... Fade to Black
Jalil Muntaqim
Kersplebedeb Publishing
Jalil Muntaqim is a former member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army. For over forty years, Jalil has been a political prisoner, and one of the New York Three (NY3), in retaliation for his political activism.
Escaping the Prism … Fade to Black is a collection of Jalil's poetry and essays, written from behind the bars of Attica prison. Combining the personal and the political, these texts afford readers with a rare opportunity to get to know a man who has spent most of his life — over forty years –- behind bars for his involvement in the Black Liberation Movement of the 1960s and early 1970s.
Jalil's poetry deals with a range of themes — spirituality, history, and the struggle for justice; depression, humor, and sexual desire; the pain and loneliness of imprisonment, the ongoing racist oppression of New Afrikan people in the United States, and the need to find meaning in one's life. At the same time, his political essays show him to be as eager as ever to intervene in and grapple with the events of today, always with an eye to concretely improving the lives of the oppressed.
As Walidah Imarisha states in her introduction, "This collection is not just about rebuke, but a commitment to living fully and loving completely. To exploring all aspects of humanity, all pieces that make up liberation … Escaping the Prism defies the attempts of the state to silence political prisoners, to disconnect them from those on the ground working to create change. In the context of the international Black Lives Matter movement, this roar for justice led by Black youth, Jalil's poetic voice, and the voices of all our political prisoners, are vitally necessary to continue the continuity of Black resistance."
Escaping the Prism … Fade to Black also includes an extensive examination of the U.S. government's war against the Black Liberation Army in general, and Jalil and the New York Three in particular, by renowned scholar-activist Ward Churchill. In "The Other Kind: On the Integrity, Consistency, and Humanity of Jalil Abdul Muntaqim," Churchill traces this story from the FBI's murderous COINTELPRO repression of the Black Panther Party, through the NEWKILL operation which led to the NY3's incarceration, to the more recent Phoenix Taskforce which orchestrated the re-prosecution of Jalil and other veteran Black activists, in the case of the San Francisco 8.
With illustrations by revolutionary prisoner-artists Zolo Agona Azania and Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, as well as outside artist-activists Bec Young, Pete Railand, Rocky Dobey, and the We are the Crisis collective.
"Jalil Muntaqim's prose and poetry analyze life within 'America as prison.' Decades of sacrifice and resistance allow him to critique state oppression and social acquiescence. We are reminded here of democracy's capacity for repression and terror through police, courts, and captivity; and the mystification and near disappearance of political prisoners who resisted such as Muntaqim, who writes that his name is spoken either as taboo or in reverence. Aided by Ward Churchill's invaluable afterword, we can remember the historical and ongoing wars against dissent, and the brutal punishments activists risked in order to expand freedom. In the current debates about racism, legal duplicity and lethal violence, Escaping the Prism instructs that in our love for freedom, 'let the spirit guide us.'"
Joy James, Seeking the 'Beloved Community'
"When soldiers of a nation-state return home from war, they are thanked for their service. When they die in battle, they are honored posthumously. But there are no medals for an army of slaves. Escaping the Prism… Fade to Black is a stunning anthology of rare and tender love poems, unflinching struggle poems, and requiem poetry for a people whose personhood is denied. Muntaqim's poems as well as the political vignettes and biographical sketches contained herein should be required reading for students who wonder why the world is on tilt. For forty-three years as a prisoner of war (nearly twice as long as Mandela who was released after 27 years), BLA soldier Jalil Muntaqim has nurtured us with his pedagogy and his poetry. Thank you for your service."
Frank B. Wilderson III, author of Incognegro: A Memoir of Exile and Apartheid
"In his powerful new book of poetry, Jalil Muntaqim writes, "my poetry is my life." He also writes, "My poetry has a chip on its shoulder," as well it might given the decades he has spent living in the state's cages. Yet despite his lifelong sacrifice as a political prisoner and prisoner of war, this book is proof that Jalil's deepest thoughts are rich and his commitment to liberation remains as strong as ever. The poems in Escaping the Prism… Fade to Black reveal Jalil's deep determination and love, and will no doubt serve as a source of inspiration for us all."
Claude Marks, Director of the Freedom Archives and former political prisoner
"Jalil Muntaqim is known for his letters and petitions and essays. Now, for the first time, we have a collection of his poetry. The poems are analytical and tender, inspiring and angering, nostalgic and sobering. In Escaping the Prism Jalil meditates on life, love, struggle, music, and everything else that prisons contain but fail to crush."
Dan Berger, author of Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era

Acanthrite image from Forge World, used for review purposes only.
It's time to do more RulesMan stuff around here! Starting with a review of Forge World's new and rather snazzy looking Canoptek thingy. Experimental rules are here and Bryss & 'Scape Inc is here.
The first thing that springs to mind when looking at this thing is that it's rather like a Wraith, however on closer inspection the only thing they really share is aesthetic design and their Jump Infantry type. The Acanthrite has one better Toughness (which means it doesn't die to missiles and other sundry S8) and one more Wound, at the cost of losing the handy Wraithflight power and the Phase Shifter, as well as having one less attack.
Next, I'll explain their special trick. After this jump.
What makes the Acanthrite so special is that they've nicked a weapon from the Dark Eldar catalogue and re-named it. Namely, the Heat Lance, rather imaginatively re-named to the Cutting Beam. But, it gets worse. You see, one Scourge with a Heat Lance is 44 points. That's a one-wound, flimsily-armoured T3 model. You could, I suppose, argue that the Heat Lance gets 6 more inches of range and is AP1. But that doesn't take away from how efficient this unit is. 5 Scourges with 4 Heat Lances are 158 points, and Scourges need all four heavy weapons to be a legitimate threat. 3 of these is enough to put your opponent on ice, for just 135 points.
A lot of the efficiency of this unit comes from survivability. The aforementioned unit of Scourges dies in a heartbeat once they fire one round of shots. These guys can probably get in an extra turn. They also get Stealth, meaning they can hide and survive until they're needed very well, and if you choose to Deep Strike them and miss it's not the end of the world. Add to that Fearless, although Necrons in general don't run away too often.
Finally, as if all that wasn't enough, they get Voidblades. Yes, Voidblades. So despite having one less attack and two less strength than Wraiths, they are arguably better against vehicles, and can still hold their own in combat to a lesser degree. Being able to take Power Fist hits helps.
There are a few things that help limit it. For one, you can't take them in squads of less than 3, so no running 3 squads of 2 at 1000 points for laughs. For two, if you actually manage to catch them, which is doable under 6th charge rules, they're easy to tarpit with a unit like Crusaders (but not Wyches, unfortunately). For three, they can't buy a Night Scythe, but unfortunately still fit in one.
However, none of these things really help solve the problem this unit have. Nobody in their right mind would give you permission to use them until they go to at least 55/60 points. Overall, I give the unit 6.5 out of 10. This would rise to 8.0 if they were costed better.

Hi congrats on 19 miles – we are doing 18 miles next Saturday and hope we can manage it.
Today we did 15 miles which is the longest run of our lives!
We hope to break 5 hours on the big day and that will be good enough.
We have stuck religiously to a training plan and we are on schedule – feels great to have achieved 15 miles – the thought of another 11 on top of that is scary!
I'm told the spectators on the day carry you for the last three or four miles – I hope so!
Well done on 19 miles: more than I've managed in training so far.
Trevor is right: the crowds will help no end, though.
Interesting post and comments. I have re:amended my goal after the Silverstone 1/2 marathon to four hours as my goal and I think I am just about on that limit and it will all come down to the last four miles at the end. However, I am now fully convinced of the truth that it is the last 6 miles that make the marathon & your time, not the first 6.
So I am planning 9 minutes miles as standard for the first 1/2, then tick over until 18 to 20, and depending on legs, crowds, and energy levels, either (hopefully!) stick at 9 to come in a 3.57, give or take, or kick on and hope the crowds can drag me to a 3.50.
But the main thing is to start slow and build up. I reckon if you can get the first half in two hours, you might make it, but they do say likely time is first half x 2 + 20 minutes. So maybe even sticking at 9minutes isn't enough. However, I intend to go at that four hour mark like my 6 months of training depends on it, but only once we get to 20 miles.
This is a massively long winded way of saying, go for it!

Q: how can we take value of an id in to a variable in modal Here i want to take the value of an id in to a variable in order to get the result based on the value of the id,for example my id value contains the value 19849 and i want that result to be passed to a variable.
here is my code
<input type="text"  name="bill_no" class="form-control" id="bill_no">
 <?php $a_results=$this->db->get_where('datas',array('bill_no'=>19849))->row();?>

from above code in my modal i have the value 19849 in my input text and now i want to pass that value in place of 19849 where i used directly.

A: You need to send Ajax request to the controller. Using Ajax pass the bill_no(19849) to the controller. From controller query the DB using model and use the $_POST['bill_no'] to fetch the result from the DB for that bill_no.
Return this result using json_encode from controller and read the data in jQuery using $.parseJSON
That's how MVC works.You need to follow the MVC structure.
Hope you get the clear idea how it works?

There are certain things that can contribute to making a great song. In this article, I want to look at a few of those things, while examining the song �I Won�t Give Up,� by Jason Mraz.
The first three lines are fairly descriptive. They talk about what looking into her eyes is like. They give us a couple of nice visuals about them.
But what I really like about this opening is the fourth line which reads �there�s so much they hold.� What�s great about that line is it definitively lets you know how her eyes are like the night sky or a sunrise. Simply saying �your eyes are like a night sky,� or �a sunrise� is nice and presents us with some easy-to-visualize imagery. But when we�re told how they�re like those things, it creates a metaphor and takes those lyrics a step further. Now we can envision her eyes holding so much information about her, in the same way the night sky holds so many stars, or how the sun holds so much brightness.
It�s a great start. And starting with such strong, visual lyrics is usually a good move, because it compels us to want to hear more.
Another important aspect of this song is it stays interesting, musically, as it continues through to the end. It does this in a few ways.
Another important change that really peps up the song and keeps it interesting is the change in vocal range that happens at about 1:48 into the song on the phrase ��Cause even the stars.� Raising the vocal in this way is typically a great way to have your melody separate itself from what it sounded like previously. It tends to demand more attention than it did before.
Another change in vocal register happens at the end of the song (on the lines �I won�t give up on us�). When the final choruses start at 2:55,you�ll notice they�re sung a whole octave higher than they were the first time we heard them at 1:05. This makes for a much more engaging and impactful climax to the song. Then Mraz switches back down to the lower octave to end the song on a more subtle note as the instrumentation drops out at 3:37.
It�s important for a song with a simple arrangement like this one to have a catchy bridge to really pull it apart from the rest of the song. It helps to keep the song interesting. This song�s bridge accomplishes that in a few ways.
One way it does this is with the very catchy nature of the fast, choppy delivery of the bridge melody. You can hear it starting at about 2:15. Aside from the bridge melody in itself being catchy, it also contrasts well against the much longer and more drawn out melody used in the rest of the song.
There are also internal rhymes that happen (or rhymes within each line) in the bridge that go hand in hand with the quick, catchy and choppy nature of the bridge�s melody. Lines like �And in the end, you�re still my friend at least we did intend� make you want to sing along with them, because aside from the melody being so quick and catchy, the internal rhymes make for strong sonic connections that makes the lyrics very appealing and hooky.
There�s even a key change that happens within the bridge to keep that section from being too repetitive within itself. It happens halfway through the bridge at the words �And in the end you�re still my friend� at 2:35 into the video.
There�s even more going on here than I discussed, but these were the strongest points that jumped out at me about this song. I�d advise you to look for additional items that you think make this song work. You should do that not only in this song, but any song you fall in love with.

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
UN Women plays an innovative and catalytic role in the State of Palestine since its inception in 1997 (as UNIFEM). UN Women Palestine Office focuses its activities on one overarching goal, namely, to support the implementation at the national level of existing international commitments to advance gender equality in line with the national priorities. In support of this goal, and thoroughly taking into consideration the specificities of the Palestinian context, UN Women concentrates its efforts and interventions toward the realization of following strategic goals: Mainstreaming gender in governance, peace and security; Supporting women's economic security and rights; and Promoting women's rights and protection against violence.
UN Women strategic plan Impact Area 3 "Women and girls live a life free of all forms of violence", focuses on supporting the capacities of the Palestinian Government and civil society actors to prevent violence and deliver quality, accessible and coordinated services for victims and survivors of violence, which is central to the 2030 Agenda, particularly SDG 5 on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls, and SDG 16 on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development. In addition to that, it is fundamental to CEDAW convention, the CEDAW committee concluding observations and General recommendations, particularly GR19, 30, 33, and 35. Preventing and combatting violence against women and girls (VAWG) and enhancing women's access to justice is also in line with the Palestinian National Policy Agenda (2017- 2022), and other key sectoral strategies, such as the National Strategy to Combat VAWG (2011-2019), the Cross Sectoral National Gender Strategy (2017- 2022) ,the Justice Sector strategy (2017- 2022), the Security Sector Strategy (2017-2011) and the Strategic Priority 2 of the Palestine United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF- 2018-2022).
UN Women since its inception in 1997 has achieved significant successes in enhancing women's access to justice, through supporting the Justice and Security institutions to establish, institutionalize and provide gender responsive and multi- sectoral services to women victims and survivors of violence, and increasing the capacity and capability of civil society organizations to play a leading role in these achievements. These include amongst others; the establishment of the Family and Juvenile Protection Units at the Palestinian Civil Police in 11 governorates in the West Bank, the establishment of responsive specialized police, prosecutorial and judicial services, the establishment of the One Stop Center, strengthening the capacities of the Gender Units at the Justice and Security institutes, in addition to the development of key legislations, policies, Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and others.
In line with this, UN Women has also supported civil society organizations (CSOs) in Gaza and the West Bank, to realize critical achievements related to women's access to justice and the realization of women's human rights. These included amongst others, the provision of responsive legal aid services to women, particularly those in conflict with the law, the preparation of key studies on women's access to justice, the production and launching of civic education manuals that targeted UNRWA schools, with the aim of disseminating gender sensitive and human rights- based norms, the successful leading of advocacy and awareness campaigns on gender and women's access to justice and others.

Death of Historian Thomas P. O'Neill
March 2, 2019 by Jim Doyle	Leave a comment
Thomas P. O'Neill, Irish historian who wrote Éamon de Valera's official biography with Frank Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford, dies in Dublin on March 2, 1996.
Born in County Carlow, O'Neill is educated at St. Mary's Knockbeg College and University College Dublin (UCD). While assistant keeper of the National Library of Ireland, he is asked to undertake the work on de Valera. Frank Gallagher, head of the Government Information Services and later a member of the library's staff had been working on a biography for several years but dies in 1962 without completing the work.
De Valera knows of O'Neill's reputation as a historian and asks him to undertake the project. A contract is signed with the publishers in 1963, and O'Neill moves to Áras an Uachtaráin to work on the book. He is later joined by Lord Longford as co-author.
O'Neill's other works include a biography in Irish of James Fintan Lalor and a major study of the Great Famine, which establishes his reputation as a historian.
After the completion of the de Valera work, O'Neill is appointed lecturer and later professor of history in University College, Galway. On his retirement, he returns to live in Dublin, where he renews his association with the National Library, becoming a strong supporter of its expansion.
O'Neill continues historical research until shortly before his death. He discovers evidence that the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic was signed by the seven signatories at the home of the president of Cumann na mBan, Jennie Wyse Power, in Henry Street, Dublin, before the Easter Rising and not merely printed in Liberty Hall from an unsigned manuscript on Easter Sunday.
O'Neill is survived by his wife, Marie, and six children. His funeral Mass takes place at St. Joseph's Church on March 5, followed by his interment at Shanganagh Cemetery.

If you are moderately fit, climbing Snowdon is definitely within your reach. Out of the three highest peaks in the UK, Mount Snowdon is probably the friendliest for the Novice Walker to ascend. Apart from anything else, in the summer months there is a cafe at the top where you can get a welcome cup of tea - or a mug of soup if the weather is cold. And if you're feeling tired after the strenuous climb up you can always get the train back down. (Note: cafe is only open when the trains are running - trains run from mid May to the end of October all the way to the summit but don't run in very bad weather).
There are six main routes to the summit of Snowdon - Watkin Path, Llanberis Path, Pyg Track, Miners' Track, Snowdon Ranger Path, Beddegelert Path/Rhyd Ddu.
Each path is briefly described below, as well as how to get to the starting points and car park charges. The routes are fairly easy to follow particularly now that route markers have been erected. Most are fairly easy underfoot allowing many thousands of people reach the summit each year but please be aware that proper walking boots are required - you will soon start to feel every stone underfoot in trainers, and have no grip in wet weather. One route which should be avoided except by experienced mountain walkers is Crib Goch - particularly when the weather is wet or in winter.
The Pyg and the Miners Tracks start at the same point. The car park here gets very full, and an early start is essential. It is not known how the Pyg Track got its name - it could be as it passes over the Pigs's Pass (Bwlch y Mocl), because it is close to the Pen y Gwryd Hotel, or because pyg, in welsh, also means pitch, and part of the surface of the path looks like black pitch. Whatever the origin, this path starts 1,170 feet above sea level which gives you a helpful start on the way.
Much of this walk is rugged, and very challenging, but the scenery is interesting. You can read a description of the walk up the Miners Track and back down the Pyg Track here.
This is a good walk to try if you want to walk on Snowdon but don't want to try to reach the summit as the first part is fairly gentle. The track was built during the 1800's to serve Britannia Copper Mines which were abandoned in 1917. Mine Manager Arthur Lockwood drove his car to Llyn Glaslyn, and the track to this point at the lake still resembles a road so is a good walking surface. The track does get considerably steeper towards the summit.
Information for the Miners Track and Pyg Track. Both these tracks start at the Pen-y-Pass Car Park, postcode LL55 4NY. This is the most expensive car park at £10 per day, and the busiest. Arrive first thing in the morning to get a place. Information about the Brittania Copper Mine - the remains of which you will see on your walk, can be found here.
This is a hot spot for accidents on the Snowdon Massif, some of which have been fatal. At best it can be described as a scramble - at some point everyone will need to use both hands and feet to continue (there are three pinnacles to get around), and some people are so scared they need to crawl most of the way. The route starts at Pen-y-Pass, and follows the Pyg Track to a fork. The left path continues on the Pyg Track, the right path goes up to Crib Goch. Once Crib Goch is conquered the path continues to the summit of Snowdon joining the Pyg Track once again. On busy days there can be a queue of people waiting to cross Crib Goch, but don't let this fool you - it really is a dangerous route, not for the faint hearted or inexperienced.
Information: The Crib Goch path starts at the Pen-y-Pass Car Park along with the Pyg and Miners Tracks - postcode LL55 4NY An introduction to this route can be found here.
On most of the paths as you get close to the summit the going gets very steep. Don't give up, take it easy, and be heartened by the thought you will be able to rest in relative comfort and have a nice cup of tea or soup, a bite to eat and even buy a certificate which tells all that you have reached the top! (Although beware, train travellers can also buy these!) Remember though, the cafe is only open when the trains are running - normally mid May to October except in bad weather.
Whichever route you take up the mountain, be sure to look out for markers which will show you the way down - it is easy to take a wrong path, and some are not suitable for inexperienced walkers, or those without proper climbing gear. Although many thousands of people climb Snowdon each year, it is still a mountain with steep cliffs in places, and can be very dangerous.
All paths have some fairly steep parts to them, so none can be described as an easy stroll.
Because of the numbers of visitors conservation work is ongoing in the mountains. Be sure to keep clear of areas where the path has been diverted to guard against erosion, and make sure you take all your rubbish home with you!
Any of the walks will take you across farmland, and sheep roam freely on the mountain. If you take your dog with you it must be on a lead.
Having climbed Snowdon once, if you enjoyed the experience you can always plan to do it again, and have totally different views, by taking a different route.
One of the benefits of walking on this mountain is that you do not need to go down the same way you went up. The convenient Sherpa buses travel around in the summer months between the walks, and you can catch a ride back to where you parked your car. The cost of the Sherpa bus is very reasonable, allowing you to travel around and enjoy the scenery as an alternative to driving.
Once you have chosen the route you wish to take, unless you are using the bus you should aim to get to your starting point early in the morning - the car parks fill up very quickly, and you don't really want to add extra miles of road walking to your day - the ascent itself will be enough to wear you out! The postcodes of the nearest car parks and (hopefully) current parking charges are shown under the walk information below.
Check the weather forecast before you start your walk, and always carry waterproofs with you even if you think the day will be fine. When you park your car on a bright sunny day you may still find yourself climbing through thick cloud as you reach the summit. The paths up Snowdon are all fairly easy to follow - just be careful that you follow the same path down from the top as you took up. Although the paths are well marked it is advisable to take a map and compass with you.
Finally, remember to take warm clothing, as it will be several degrees cooler at the summit.
You will be spending about 6 hours or more walking up and down Snowdon, and depending on the path you follow, will be covering between 7 and 10 miles. The Watkins path is the hardest, as on this route you will also be ascending 3,300 ft of the total 3,560 ft of the mass of Snowdon - starting only a couple of hundred feet above sea level. The Pyg and Miners tracks for comparison, start at 1,170 ft up, so although they are of similar length to the Watkins path, are less strenuous overall (although they also do have very steep parts).
3 1/2 miles long, hardest walk.
Named after Sir Edward Watkin, and was originally passable to the old quarry approximately half way up by horse and cart. Opened to the public in 1892 by Gladstone, who gave a speech at what is now known as Gladstone Rock. The top part of the walk is across loose scree, and the path can be hard to follow. There are steep drops, and loose footing so take care. Being the hardest walk does mean that there is usually room in the car park as it is less popular than the others.
Information: The Watkin Path starts at Pont Bethania Car Park postcode LL55 4NL. All day parking will cost £4. A full description of this walk can be found here.
This is the longest, but probably one of the easiest walks. It is very popular in summer, probably as the wait for the train can be long, and people start to stroll up the path to while away the time. There is a fairly large car park here as it serves the station as well.
It is not the most interesting route, but you do have great views of the trains!
Information: The Llanberis Path starts at Victoria Terrace about 150 metres from the Snowdon Mountain Railway Station, postcode LL55 4TT. Read one couple's experience of walking the Llanberis Path here.
In what is now the Youth Hostel at the start of the track lived John Morton, who used to be a guide taking walkers up Snowdon, and this path is named after him. The path is fairly easy, and has very good views.
Information: The Snowdon Ranger Path is names after a mountain guide called John Morton who built the Snowdon Ranger Inn in the early 1800's. The inn is now a Youth Hostel, and the path starts at the Llyn Cwellyn Car Park near the hostel. Postcode LL54 7YS. Parking all day will cost £4.
This is one of the easiest and the least used routes. It starts at the site of the South Snowdon Station of the Welsh Highland Railway. The path is easy to follow and climbs gradually to the summit. The going gets harder as you near the summit and the last section is along a steep narrow path with sheer drops below.
Information: The Beddgelert Path, also known as the Rhyd Ddu Path starts at the car park adjacent to the Rhyd Ddu West Highland Railway Station, postcode LL54 6TN. All day parking is £4.
Crib Goch needs a mention here, but mainly to say it is not a route for the novice walker. If you are walking with a dog, suffer from a fear of heights or are not properly equipped and not an experienced mountain walker do not attempt this route. Crib Goch is a knife edged arete. It is very exposed and should not be attempted in windy conditions at all. It has a steep vertical drop on one side, and also drops off steeply on the other side.
