Kingston, Jamaica. Friday, March 8, 2019…The Kiwanis Club of Young Professionals Kingston, Jamaica during its 4th staging of its International Women’s Day event, at the Women’s Centre Foundation of Jamaica, sought to empower the over 60 adolescent mothers to pursue their goals and to give them a voice in the conversation of gender parity. In inviting the girls to share their voice on the theme, #BalanceforBetter, the Kiwanians facilitated small group sessions, during which the adolescent mothers were given an opportunity to share on this year’s theme, celebrate their achievements, their vision for themselves and how they can play their role in creating a gender balanced society.
Author and communication consultant, Krystal Tomlinson also shared on the occasion. Tomlinson in her energetic delivery, charged the adolescent mothers to be the CEO of their own lives and to make powerful choices so that they can have the future they want to build for themselves and their children – thereby defying stereotypes. Additionally, UNICEF representative, Ross Sheil, gave a presentation on the U-Report, a free social messaging tool that allows individuals to add their voice to a range of developmental conversation in a bid to promote greater participation of all.
Heart Trust NTA, was also on hand to share information on career opportunities available for the young ladies. Sponsors of the event included: VM Foundation and Kirk Distributors.

During Budarin's stay on Mir, he performed three spacewalks; during those spacewalks, he wore the Omega Speedmaster that's coming up for sale. Unfortunately, he did not keep the velcro strap that traditionally wraps around the sleeve of the spacesuit. Between the three spacewalks he performed, he logged over 14 hours of time in the vacuum of space. link While he was inside Mir, he wore it on a link leather link strap, which is still on the watch.
But this is more than just link an open-worked version of last year's Skyline. The base movement is the same, the three-hand automatic El Primero 3620, but one of the first things you'll notice is the placement link of the 1/10th of a second sub-dial (driven directly off the watch's 5Hz escapement) has moved to six o'clock and the date has disappeared altogether. The crown, however, remains at the normal three o'clock position. The movement has a 60-hour link power reserve.
Should it eventually sell, John Lennon's 2499 would likely become link the most expensive watch in the world. The history of the watch is long and convoluted but ultimately it remains a true grail in the sense that so many watch lovers simply want to lay eyes on the thing. Rumors of the Lennon 2499 being in a Geneva safe swirled within insider watch world circles for years, it almost became a legend. Until news broke last year and link Jay Fielden dove deep into the link story for The New Yorker.
The caseback is also personalized to link commemorate Collins' involvement with Gemini 10 and Apollo 11, and the link watch comes on its original gold bracelet. All told, the lot, with 14 days left to bid, is currently at $105,000 (at the time of posting). Seeing as special Speedmasters have been routinely setting new auction records in link recent years, we have no idea just how high this will go, but it's definitely one very precious example that marks the moment when the Speedmaster became the Moonwatch.
The artist: Salt-N-Pepa (1986)The watch: Gucci, or perhaps a knockoffThe story: On a hot New York link day, Beckman left her apartment on Avenue B and headed down to the pre-gentrified Lower East Side with Salt-N-Pepa in tow. "Some people link were scared to go down there, but we just hung out all day. They were link giggling. Like a couple of sisters, really, or best friends."
