MAKKAH: Arora Akanksha, an audit coordinator at the UN Development Project, faces a tough challenge as the first female millennial candidate running for the role of UN secretary-general.
For years, the selection process at the UN has been a closed-door process; candidates are appointed by the UN General Assembly on the recommendation of the UN Security Council. Every five years, selected candidates must receive nine of 15 council votes with no veto, and then receive two-thirds of the votes from the 193 member states in the assembly.

Finding the best way to honor and preserve a parent’s legacy can be overwhelming for any family. For the children of artist David Hayes - an American modern master - celebrating his distinguished body of work takes on national significance.

Hayes died in 2013, leaving an early-eighteenth century farmhouse in Coventry, Connecticut where he and his wife raised a family. The David Hayes Art Foundation plans to turn the fifty-four acre property into an indoor/outdoor art exhibit, featuring dozens of Hayes’ modern steel sculptures and mobiles scattered throughout the woods and meadows.
