At this critical juncture, including Taiwan is an essential next step if we are to successfully achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We call for Taiwan's inclusion in the United Nations system, which encompasses participation in meetings, mechanisms and activities that pertain to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Doing so would not only strengthen global cooperation and partnership, but also emphasize the principle of ensuring that "no one is left behind".

## Quotes about

* Africa's last remaining absolute monarch, King Mswati III of Swaziland, took power at the age of eighteen. Since then he has allowed his country to slide into extreme poverty, with 69 percent of the Swazi people living on less than $1 a day. Swaziland has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world: almost 40 percent. The nation operated without a constitution for thirty years. Mswati agreed to implement a new one in 2006; however, it bans political parties, gives Mswati the right to reject any laws passed by the legislature, and grants him immunity from all possible crimes.

# Nintinugga

Nintinugga was a Babylonian goddess of healing, the consort of Ninurta. She is identical with the goddess of Akkadian mythology, known as Bau (cuneiform: 𒀭𒁀𒌑 $^D$ba-u$_2$), or Baba though it would seem that the two were originally independent. She is later known as Gula and in medical incantations, Bēlet or Balāti, also as the Azugallatu the "great healer", the same as her son Damu. Other names borne by this goddess are Nin-Karrak, Nin Ezen, Ga-tum-dug and Nm-din-dug.

## Quotes about Nintinugga

* [T]he queen of heaven and earth, the provider of food, the stewardess of Enlil, the sweet breast satisfying all lands, the bringer of abundance, who can diagnose the intentions of the virulent asag demon and who checks people's bones; who examines the sinews of life and the sinews of death, comforting those joints; who knows every sick spot where there is affliction, torment or distress -- the kindly physician, the exorcist to the sick, who looks after the hearts of humans.
** Nintinuga's dog, at the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature.
* May Nintinuga look after me during my life, and when I die may she provide me with clear water in the nether world.

## Quotes about Ninurta

* The king who measured up the hoe and who passes his time in its tracks, the hero Ninurta, has introduced working with the hoe into the rebel lands. He subdues any city that does not obey its lord. Towards heaven he roars like a storm, earthwards he strikes like a dragon (ucumgal).
** Debate between the Hoe and the Plough (3rd millennium BCE), English translation of the story, at the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature - University of Oxford.
* Great hero, strongest in heaven and earth! Ninurta, who controls perfectly the fifty divine powers in the E-kur! Governor for his father, rising raging storm, who extends terror towards the foreign countries. Who casts fear upon the people, who has no rival! Ninurta, surpassing in vigour! Great and majestic strength, ornament of the august shrine! Lord, the son of Enlil, who has come forth from the hills, and rides upon the numerous divine powers. Great hero, surpassing dragon, perfect lord, without rival! Great hero confident in his strength! His words are precious, and what he says is true. Ninurta, lion raging against the disobedient! Authoritative one, who makes the foreign countries submit. May Ninurta look upon Icme-Dagan with a life-giving gaze! Uta-ulu, riding on fearsome radiance, greatest amongt the great lords! Ninurta, perfect in authority, caretaker of heaven and earth, Lord who was given great strength by Nunamnir, confident in his strength, striding into battle! Adviser, whose decisions cannot be countermanded! Ninurta, whose utterances are firm! Hero, lord, august son of Enlil! Ninurta, prominent in the E-kur. Coveting and spying are abominations to Ninurta. To take revenge is the prerogative of Ninurta. The chasing away of a younger son from the house of his father is an abomination to Ninurta. Violent cursing and chasing away a son from his father's house are abominations to Ninurta. To take revenge is an abomination to Ninurta.

* Ninisina, first-born child of holy An, eminent among ladies. [...] Wife of the great hero, lord Pabilsaj, youth who has no rival; holy Ninisina, you reapply a dressing to soothe the dark place of sores which no one can understand; mother of the Land, great physician of the black-headed, incantation priestess of the widespread people.
** Letter by Nanna-manshum, 3rd millennium BCE, at The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature.
* Holy Nininsina, who brought youthful power from the womb, who was brought up sitting on the holy knees of Urac; who was copiously given divine powers of ladyship, and who is girded with fearsomeness and awesome radiance: Nininsina. [...] The lord wise in all matters, the Great Mountain, father Enlil, the foremost among the Anuna gods, looked favourably on her who offered him salutations in all humility.
** A tablet (𒁾) to Nininsina (Nininsina E), 3rd millennium BCE, text online at The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature.
* The holy and pure divine powers befit Nininsina, lady of the great divine powers. Her divine powers are divine powers bestowed on her by An. The Great Mountain, Enlil, determined a fate for her. Having left the temple of Enlil, she entered Eridug, the pleasant place, and took her seat in the abzu shrine. Her father, Enki, seated her upon his knees. He truly cherished Nininsina -- as soon as [she] took a fancy to jewels of cuba stone, they were hung around the neck of Nininsina; as soon as she took a fancy to a white linen garment, he dressed the daughter of holy An in it. Lord Nudimmud determined a fate for her.

## Quotes

* I've seen how violently animals raised for food are treated, and I don't want to support that. … The fact that the meat on my plate was once a living, breathing creature became something I could no longer ignore or justify as food. … As someone who felt they were a confirmed meat-eater, I guess ultimately if I can do it, then anyone can, you know―it’s a really easy choice to make. And it’s a humane choice to make.
** “Owain Yeoman’s ‘Veggie Testimonials’,” in PETA.org (12 May 2009).
* With all the wonderful vegetarian foods available today, it doesn’t take a mentalist to realize that eating meat just doesn’t make sense anymore. It’s not healthy, it’s devastating to our planet, and it means a cruel and painful death for literally billions of animals every year. So why not give vegetarianism a try? You will have a lot more energy, you can lose weight, and best of all you will know that you are creating a better world for all the animals that live here.

## Quotes

* When I was seven or eight years old, I watched a Chinese horror movie. I can’t recall the title. But some of the scenes made me so scared. They made a very strong impression on me. That evening, it became clear to me what would be my future: I wanted to be a horror filmmaker. I went into the kitchen and then down into the basement and filled a tray with flour. Then I filled a pan with alcohol. I snuck upstairs with all of it and put flour all over my face. I lit the pan filled with alcohol, covered myself with a white sheet, and switched off the lights to the entire building. Slowly, I descended the staircase and walked in the direction of my family sitting in the living room... I looked like a ghost! When they saw me, they screamed in absolute fright. Well, I suppose that was my first introduction to the world of entertainment!
