10 Reasons Why Guys Leave

If you’re crying in your mochaccino because your guy just left you, hopefully these reasons may give you some insight and make you feel better.

1. 
   
   He didn’t like your friends.
2. 
   
   Your laugh got on his nerves.
3. 
   
   You weren’t able to defend your choice of beer.
4. 
   
   You choose to answer your cell phone, ignoring him and making him feel like he wasn’t number one.
5. 
   
   You changed your FaceBook status to “in a relationship” before he did.
6. 
   
   You didn’t keep a change of clothes at work and did the “walk of shame.”
7. 
   
   You didn’t break all ties with your exes.

   He is a complete douche-bag.
10. 
    
    He is a GUY not a MAN!

Now, allow yourself exactly 24 hours to cry over Mr. Loser. Then go get your girlfriends, party, and thank God that you’re not with the tool anymore.

A Woman’s Health And Happiness

I do quite a bit of research when I’m writing about certain subjects. I’d set out to find solid scientific evidence of the correlation between women’s happiness and physical health. What I found was a lot of psychobabble versus scientific fact. Almost as if we women just couldn’t wrap our fragile minds around solid facts.

”It is near impossible to neutrally define happiness as we presently know and understand it. A woman’s health and happiness can be said to refer to a combination of psychological, mental and emotional elements. As such, it is an internal and subjective process.” Garbage! I’d seriously like to smack the windbag that wrote this crap.

True Connection

“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” ~Rachel Naomi Remen

Social Services Burn Out

People within the social services and nonprofit community are indeed giving in nature. But that giving to others can come at a high price. Current cutbacks are high, leading to increased caseloads, which are generally already overburdened. A specific issue or project that formally would have been delegated amongst several persons is now placed upon one.

Our society depends upon these people, so what can we do for them?

Division for the Advancement of Women

Brief History

The Division for the Advancement of Women was established in 1946 as the Section on the Status of Women, Human Rights Division, Department of Social Affairs.

In 1972, the section was upgraded as the Branch for the Promotion of Equality for Men and Women under the newly created Centre for Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations Office in Vienna. The Centre was then headed by Ms. Helvi Sipila (Finland), the first woman to serve in the UN as an Assistant Secretary-General.

In 1978, the branch was renamed as the Branch for the Advancement of Women. In August 1993, the unit was moved to New York as the Division for the Advancement of Women where it formed part of the Department of Policy Coordination and Sustainable Development (DPCSD). As a result of restructuring, the Division became part of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) in 1996.

DAW acted as the substantive secretariat for the four World Conferences on Women (Mexico 1975, Copenhagen 1980, Nairobi 1985 and Beijing 1995). The Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing was the largest conference in the history of the United Nations. Under the guidance of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women, DAW also carried out the preparatory work for the 23rd special session of the General Assembly in 2000. In 2005, DAW assisted the Commission on the Status of Women to conduct the Ten-year Review and Appraisal of the Beijing Platform for Action during the Commission’s 49th session.

DAW has provided substantive servicing to the Commission on the Status of Women since its inception in 1946 and technical and substantive support to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women since 1982.
