This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another.
By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success. Human Rights Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and Principle 2: make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Labour Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; Environment. SDGs.

Over 40 and loving it: let's celebrate fiction with positive older characters | Books. There is a passage from Jilly Cooper’s Rivals which, despite first reading it in my early teens, has stayed with me, popping into my head with increasing frequency now I’ve stepped over the threshold into the over-40 bracket. Lizzie Vereker, the curvy, middle-aged wife whose rat of a husband is cheating on her, is contemplating her misery and “feeling rather old and dried-up”.
So she rubs “skin-food into her face, only to realise she’d forgotten her neck, which is supposed to betray your age most, so she rubbed the excess skin-food down into it. Then she remembered you were supposed never to rub skin-food downwards as it made your face droop. Would her life have been different, she wondered, if she’d always remembered to rub skin-food upwards? Would James have stayed faithful to her?” Lizzie gets her happy ending (with a corpulent Cockney millionaire). But there are an awful lot of excellent novels featuring older women out there already. Book Club from. Our selection for year 95 — a four-for-one special, you might say — is the Neapolitan series, by Elena Ferrante.
The translator for those Italian books, Ann Goldstein, also translated the recently-released “A Girl Returned,” which our reviewer John Domini thoroughly enjoyed [full review]. It has a bit of a Ferrante feel, following a young Italian girl who has been raised by a well-to-do family, only to learn that her biological mother lives on the poor side of town — and it’s time for the girl to move home. Goldstein came to translation late. The former head of the New Yorker’s copy department learned Italian in her 30s, decades after longing to read "The Inferno" in Dante's native language. "I like to use that as an example for women, particularly," she tells me. "You can change your life in your late 30s.
" Translation is a fascinating art and those who make a living doing it take various approaches to their work. 2019 Opensource.com summer reading list.

Get Lit With These 15 Best Podcasts For Book Lovers. The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years. “I remember only the women,” Vivian Gornick writes near the start of her memoir of growing up in the Bronx tenements in the 1940s, surrounded by the blunt, brawling, yearning women of the neighborhood, chief among them her indomitable mother. “I absorbed them as I would chloroform on a cloth laid against my face. It has taken me 30 years to understand how much of them I understood.” When Gornick’s father died suddenly, she looked in the coffin for so long that she had to be pulled away. That fearlessness suffuses this book; she stares unflinchingly at all that is hidden, difficult, strange, unresolvable in herself and others — at loneliness, sexual malice and the devouring, claustral closeness of mothers and daughters.
The book is propelled by Gornick’s attempts to extricate herself from the stifling sorrow of her home — first through sex and marriage, but later, and more reliably, through the life of the mind, the “glamorous company” of ideas. New books will transform your everyday understanding of math. Perfectly smart adults feel intimidated by numbers and aren’t ashamed to say, “I hate math.”
Two new books could help change that by making the dreaded topic relevant and accessible to naturalists, artsy types, the philosophically inclined, and committed calculators alike. Both Math Art: Truth, Beauty, and Equations, by Stephen Ornes, and Eight Lessons on Infinity: A Mathematical Adventure, by Haim Shapira, illuminate an old lesson your math teachers probably tried to convey when you were a kid: Math dominates our lives even while we try with all our might to ignore it. Creative works inspired by math In Math Art, released in April, science writer Ornes examines creative works inspired by math. It’s an aesthetically pleasing book with a delightfully tactile cover and satisfyingly thick and glossy pages that make it as fun to flip through as a fashion magazine. As Ornes explains in the introduction, math art isn’t new. Choose it all Stony Brook University Daina Taimina Grab a pencil. Best Touch and Feel Books for Your Baby's Bookshelf. Publishersweekly.

After two personal and candid short memoirs about her life as a writer, wife, and mother, novelist Lurie (Familiar Spirits) follows her fancy in selections that touch on a broad range of subjects: a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Jonathan Miller’s celebrated 1974 staging of Hamlet in “What Happened in Hamlet”; an affectionate tribute to Ted (Edward) Gorey, her best friend for decades, in “Edward Gorey”; astute evaluations of Pinocchio, Babar the Elephant, Harry Potter, and other characters from children’s literature; and appraisals of knitting, aprons, zippers, and aspects of fashion that extend her 1981 study The Language of Clothes.
