Fulfilling science’s promise for gender equality.

Science, technology, and innovation continue to radically and rapidly transform how people live, socialize, pay their bills, order food, study, and work. For women and girls across the world, these changes have brought new freedoms, new forms of access to information, and new opportunities for creativity, along with new risks to their safety, representation, and share of decent employment.

The promise of science is one of positive change for gender equality. Take the case of Natacha Sangwa, one of a number of young high school graduates in Rwanda who attended a UN Women-supported coding camp. Using robotics and next-generation technologies, she created a prototype to help her community respond to climate change. She told us: “One of the ideas I developed through this programme was to build a mechanized irrigation system to enhance productivity and yields in rural areas” and that she had resolved to do all she could to increase the representation of women and girls in technology.

Over the next 30 years, the majority of the world’s new workers may well be on the African continent, where 60 per cent of the population, like Natacha, is currently under 25. Skills in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) will play an important role in the jobs of their future - and across the world. We need to invest in this opportunity - in young women in every country - ensuring that they have the right skills for these jobs and that they are not held back by negative stereotypes and discrimination. And we need to ensure that current and future workplaces are environments that attract, retain, and advance women scientists.

Both representation and retention of women are essential for the science and digital technology sectors to be more creative, innovative, and profitable, reflecting issues that matter to women. Currently, women remain significantly underrepresented, making up just 29.2 per cent of all STEM workers, compared to 49.3 per cent across non-STEM occupations. Hostile work environments remain pervasive and deter women’s career longevity. A 2022 study conducted in 117 countries found that one in two women scientists reported experiencing sexual harassment at work, with 65 per cent of respondents reporting that this negatively impacted their career.

Partnerships and engagement that change these workplace issues represent a huge opportunity to boost women’s participation in STEM, with the private sector currently estimated to represent approximately 70 per cent of global expenditure on science. The Women’s Empowerment Principles offer a framework for just such an engagement among private sector companies, in collaboration for progress with governments and academia. Currently, more than 9,200 CEOs across 160 countries have committed to implement policies and practices that attract, retain and promote women into leadership positions, including in science and broader STEM fields, fostering an inclusive corporate culture, eliminating stereotypes and discriminatory practices.

As we head towards the UN’s Summit of the Future in September this year, including a new Global Digital Compact, we must take every opportunity to act quickly and effectively to counteract bias and discrimination, and to equip and support the bright minds and imaginations of our young scientists, like Natacha and her peers.

"POLITICIAN NEEDS TO BE SUPERMAN," Montreal Gazette. June 7, 1933. Page 5. ---- Social Ostracism for Spoliators of State Prescribed by Rev. L. Clare ---- DEMOCRACY UNDER FIRE ---- Alien Propaganda Not Dangerous in Presence of Humane Social Laws, Pastor Suggests ---- The true politician needs to be a superman. We should train them and expect honor from them, visiting upon those who make the states spoil the most contemptuous social ostracism, Rev. Lawrence Clare stated yesterday in his address, "Some Principles of Political Thinking" at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Montreal at the Windsor Hotel. He emphasized the importance of respecting their art, "which is the greatest known to man."

Politicians are not popular, in fact, they are the scapegoats in connection with our present discontent and often are blamed where they have no responsibilty, Mr.Clare asserted. The political "high game of chess. In his opinion, is a difficult one, necessitating a keen knowledge of human nature. "To the knowledge of Machiavelli must be added that of Lincoln, because human nature is the material with which the politician works."

The wise politician, M. Clare believed. will have regard for men's souls. their possibilities and the reverence that is their due. "How may one maximize their freedom, for development In truth, beauty, adventure and peace?" he asked, for there lies national well being, and harbors, banks and concessions are but instrumental.' Democracy, he said, is under fire, and is believed to bring undesirable men to power, to encourage corruption, incapable of rapid decision and to be drugged by propaganda.

The politician must know how to settle the inefficiencies of democracy aside when big things are to be done, yet the people must be spirited enough to secure that this never is done save in their interests, Mr. Clare maintained. Denunciation of armaments, alliances and balance of power he thought futile, for "these are necessary resultants so long as human nature is what it is and the European and Asiatic situation is as inorganic as it is." Only those who can think in world terms, in his opinion, are fit to organize."

"Amid swift and alarming political changes, the politician needs to keep his head. Confronted by such things as the Russian experiment, it is difficult to avoid hysteria. What we need is facts, a spirit of analysis and valuation, plus quiet courtesy, whether the matter concerns Russia, Hitler or Mussolini. Allen propagandism is a seed that withers unless it falls upon the soil of social discontent.

"Humane social legislation has kept Britain quiet, imbuing her people with a feeling that private interests, on account of old age pensions, insurance, are identical with those of the state," Mr. Clare continued. As regards freedom of speech and restraint, he believed that all progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions. The only solution In this regard is a sliding scale of toleration, "for the more healthy a country, the more it can stand."

Idealists are a somewhat easy!prey for extreme Utopian builders of castles in the air, Mr. Clare found. The danger, in his opinion, is that of dreaming of some organization, for example, the state that is suitable to angels, but not to human nature, or to men of other traditions and conditioning, but not to men like ourselves. "They in the name of that dream attack with the intention of destroying existing organizations that are adapted, though perhaps imperfectly, to hman nature as it really is," he concluded.

A W. McMaster, president, was in the chair. The speaker was thanked by Rev. Dr. Leslie Pidgeon. Jim Laird outlined the comprehensive programme that has been prepared for the convention of Rotary International at Boston from June 26-30. urging members to bring the Montreal quota of visitors on this occasion to 100. Harry Maud sang several solos.

Alice holds an intervention for the rest of the OIAR about not delving into the horrors.

It starts with "look I tried to vaguely warn you and also to just keep you at arms reach so when the horrors got to you I would be fine but somehow I'm emotionally attached to a bunch of trainwrecks so that's an intervention."

At some point Chester starts helping by interrupting to read more "IF YOU FUCK AROUND YOU WILL FIND OUT SO DON'T FUCK AROUND" cases fitting each members reasons for fucking around.

Gwen mentions that part of the reason she is investigating the creep conversation she heard involving Lena is because if Lena's a serial killer than she can use that to get Lena fired and get her job. As if it was a normal, not dangerous way to get a promotion (is a saffer way than Elias promotion at least).

Alice playfully ends with "C'mmon guys if you fuck around you will end up like Chester here, do you really want that?" and for everyone's shock Jon has his first actual appearance as an actual councious thing by sending one "EXACTALY! OUCH! BUT PRECISELY THAT!"

And so we're right back at John not believing anything that the statement giver says. Still makes the episode about Gerard & Mary Keay and Jurgen Leitner feel different than the other ones.

With success comes certain challenges in the Indian financial sector’s use of artificial intelligence

The Indian banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector is witnessing a growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as chatbots, voice bots, and video bots. However, the sector faces significant challenges in fully embracing AI due to the need for greater clarity in several critical areas, including explainability, fairness, transparency, accountability, probability, and accessibility. Addressing these aspects from both a technological and legal standpoint is crucial for successful AI integration in the sector.

Regulation and Legal Considerations: To regulate AI in India, the Government appointed NITI Aayog in 2018 to develop laws covering ethical and system considerations. However, the current legal infrastructure is still in its early stages and fails to address various implications, including biased data outcomes, sharing of sensitive or personal data, accountability in accidents involving human or property losses, transparency of AI models and outcomes, rights of AI robots, intellectual property rights (IPRs), copyrights, competition laws, and patent credits. The undefined contours of AI applications have resulted in a lag in policymaking and regulation.

Need for Self-Governance and Framework: As the adoption of AI technologies continues at an unprecedented pace worldwide, implementers in the Indian financial sector need to establish a self-governed, self-regulated, and self-audited framework to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. This framework should encompass defining the scope of the problem, unbiased data collection, proper data labeling, data processing, training, deployment, and dynamic evaluation. By adhering to such a framework, organizations can avoid violations and navigate the complexities associated with AI integration.

This celebration is ADORABLE! Finnick Odair with ❛ you’re welcome to stay, if you want. ❜

hi honey, thank you so much! join the celebration

finnick odair x fem!reader (r is implied to be a past victor)

You feel a bit silly standing at Finnick’s door in your pyjamas, your face damp with tears, bare feet sinking into the carpeted floor. The train hums beneath you, almost hypnotising. You’re a bad sleeper in general, but being on this train has resurfaced so many things you wish you could forget. You don’t know why you expected any better, but tonight’s been dreadful.

You’re not sure if Finnick will even answer the door. You want to try anyway because your heart won’t stop racing and he’s the only person you’d ever want to see at a time like this.

“Finnick?” You swallow around the thick lump in your throat and knock softly on his door. “It’s me.”

He’s at the door faster than you expected. Perhaps he was having as bad a night as you.

“Y/N?” Finnick blinks at you. His hair’s a mess, his shirt crumpled. “Hey. Sweetheart, what are you doing up?”

You blink away fresh tears that threaten to spill. “I’m— I can’t sleep,” you confess. Red hot embarrassment creeps up your neck like flames. “I’m really sorry I woke you.”

Finnick shakes his head. “No, no, don’t be,” he murmurs, a pinch between his brows. “It’s okay, honey, I get it. Did you want to come in?”

You nod silently. He encourages you in to sit on the end of his bed, letting the door shut behind you. You and Finnick, you have a strange relationship. You’re very close, he knows you inside out, has learnt all your secrets but one. You think you’re in love with him, and you really hope he feels the same, but you’re worried that sparkly hope is blinding you. Either way, he’ll do anything for you, which is why you’re here.

You sit on his bed, silent. Your chest feels tight, like someone’s gone and tied a knot with all your organs. Tears well in your eyes and you blink them away desperately.

Finnick moves to stand over you, tall and firm but buzzing with worry. He takes your face in his hands, achingly gentle.

“You wanna tell me what’s the matter?” He asks softly. He swipes at your lower lash line where fresh tears are starting to gather. “What’s made a pretty girl like you cry so much, hm?”

You’re so upset you miss his blatant flirting. You’ll remember it in the morning, though, and you won’t be able to look him in the eye for the rest of the day.

“I keep having these awful dreams,” you say, your voice a strained, weak thing. You take a deep breath, determined to get through telling Finnick what’s bothering you without crying. “I thought they’d gone away, but I guess being on this train, it’s all come flooding back. It’s horrible, Finnick. I don’t …”

Your voice breaks. Your face crumples. So much for not crying. The first of a fresh round of tears spill over Finnick’s hands. He makes a sad, pitying noise and wraps you up in a strong hug.

“It’s okay, sweetheart.” He encourages your head to his abdomen, seemingly not caring that your tears are quickly dampening his shirt. He rubs your back with a big, warm hand. “It’s okay.”

He lets you cry into his shirt for as long as you need. You know he knows there’s nothing much he can say. Not that he’s said already, anyway. You’re always gonna be haunted, always followed by the sharp bite of grief and guilt. Still, it’s nice to be understood. To be touched like he’s trying to hold all of the pieces of you together lest you crumble.

Finnick rubs your back diligently until the tears ebb and you’re breathing normally again. He pulls back and you miss his warmth. You wish he’d hold you forever. His hands feel grounding as he tilts your face up to look at him.

“You’re safe with me,” he tells you softly. “Yeah?”

You nod. Your head hurts. Your chest burns from crying so much and you’re bone-deep tired. Finnick must notice, because he strokes your cheek fondly.

“You’re tired, lovely girl?” It’s less of a question and more of a statement. His warm hand where it loves on your cheek is enough to send you to sleep. You feel very safe with him indeed. “You need sleep. You’re welcome to stay here, if you want. Would you like to?”

“If that’s okay,” you whisper hoarsely.

Finnick smiles, a soft pretty thing, enough to make your heavy heart soar. He chucks you under the chin fondly. “Of course it’s okay, sweetheart. I think we’ll both get a better sleep if you’re here with me.”

You’re too tired to ask what he means, but you can guess.

The Dylann Roof case- In Depth

I DO NOT SUPPORT. THIS IS INFORMATIONAL!

Pls reblog incase I get trmed!

Dylann was born April 3rd 1994 to mother Amelia and father Franklin with 2 sisters Amber and Morgan. During early childhood his parents would divorce and his father would later remarry. His stepmother accused his father of abüse. He would beg his step mother to let him live with her but she wasn’t able to. Dylann would be described to have obsessive compulsive tendencies with germs. In middle school he would stop caring about school and started smoking weed and drinking vodka. In nine years he would have attended seven schools. In 2010 he would drop out of Highschool and continue playing video games and smoking weed and drinking.

In 2015 he was caught with an invalid prescription for suboxone at a mall to which he was banned from for a year. Later that year he was caught loitering in the mall to which they searched his car finding a forearm grip for a AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and six unloaded magazines capable of holding 40 rounds each but was let off it was legal in the state. Roofs Suboxone charge was mishandled and a system error took it as a misdemeanour instead of a felony. Which would have possibly prohibited him from purchasing the firearm.

Later Dylann would look into the Trayvon Martin case and from an unknown article concluded Zimmerman was in the right. He then fell down a rabbit hole of black on white crime and misinformation. He then found 4chan and would find even more misinformation and hard right ideologies Dylann states he hasn’t been the same since that day. Which leads to his manifesto titled ‘The last Rhodesian’ Rhodesia being the African state founded in 1965 ran by primary Europeans and a white supr3macy ideology before being abolished in 1979. The term now sticks with white supremac!sts like Dylann had became, as he also used the flag on his jacket. In preparation before the attack he looked up black churches and found the Emanuel Methodist Episcopal Church and would scout the area and ask around about mass times.

June 15th 2015 somewhere around 8:00pm Dylann entered the church, once he did he was greeted by Rev.Pinckney and given a bible to study with. Roof was sat next to Pinckney as the study continued. As the study closed and the ending pray started Roof stood up and pulled out his Gl0ck 41 .45 calibre handgûn and began sh00ting. Killing Pinckney first. Then 26 year old Tywanza Sanders stood up to plead with Dylann before he said ‘I have to do it. You r4p3 our women and you’re taking over our country and you have to go’ he then wh0re and k!lled Sharonda Singleton, Dr. Daniel L. Simmons, Ethel Lee Lance, Cynthia Hurd, Myra Tompson and Tywanza Sanders. Dylann would reload 5 times that day. Polly Shepherd was spared when he asked her if he shot her yet to which she replied no he then told her ‘good cause we need someone to survive because I’m gonna sh00t myself and you’ll be the only survivor. He then turned the gûn on himself realizing he was out of ammo. He then left the church to the surprise there wasn’t anyone outside. The next day the police confirmed the gûnman was 21 year old Dylann Roof with witnesses reporting they saw him drive towards Shelby, a town close to Charleston. At 10:44am Roof was arrested at a traffic stop in Shelby where it was then confirmed he worked alone.

Five days after the sh00ting the grand jury announced that Roof was being indicted for 33 federal charges.

12 counts hate crime against black people

12 counts obstructing the exercise of religion

9 counts mûrd3r using a firearm.

On June 6th Roof reportedly did not want to be trialed by jury and instead let the judge decide if he was guilty and if the d3ath penalty was reasonable. August 23rd Roofs lawyers called the motion of d3ath penalty unconstitutional and asked to reject the motion. On September 1st an on camera hearing was held in case of outbursts. December 7th 2016 the trial started. During a survivor statement Roofs mom collapsed as she had a heart attack. After 3 days of the trial FBI played a video on which he admitted to laughing and drinking while describing to friends how he’d sh00t the church. To which his friend didn’t report to police and said he was drunk and took his keys and gl0ck that was on him. After 2 hours the jury found him guilty on all 33 charges. Roof wanting to plead guilty but told not to by lawyers.

January 10th 2027 Roof was sentenced to d3ath penalty, and d3ath by lethal injection.
