Here is the resolution itself: GA#197 "Banning Extrajudicial Transfer" GA Resolution #197 Banning Extrajudicial Transfer A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights. Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: Quadrimmina Description: THIS WORLD ASSEMBLY, RECOGNIZING the loophole in international law regarding human rights, a loophole which allows for human rights to be violated by member nations by the simple transfer of individuals outside of WA territory. FURTHER RECOGNIZING the treaties, alliances, and other associations made between WA and non-WA nations that could provide the means and opportunity for such violations to occur. HEREBY bans in all member nations the willful, knowledgeable transfer of any individual from a member nation to another jurisdiction by an individual, organization, or member state for the purposes of denying or violating any of the political or civil rights that are guaranteed to that individual in the jurisdiction of the member state by law. URGES member nations to take action to, in a way compatible with national security interests, the interests of the individual(s) involved, applicable law, and practicality, restore those rights that were denied due to the transfer with the consent of the individual in cases in which such a transfer has taken place prior to the enactment of this resolution. Here is my draft: Draft - Repeal "Banning Extrajudicial Transfer" Repeal "Banning Extrajudicial Transfer" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#197 Proposed by: Isaris Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #197: Banning Extrajudicial Transfer (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly, UNDERSTANDING that the intent of Resolution #197 was to improve human and civil rights around the world by banning the extrajudicial transfer of individuals to deny them political or civil rights; CONFUSED as to why this Assembly would expect member nations to extend such rights to criminals, terrorists, and other international fugitives, and ban their transfer to another jurisdiction; CONCERNED of the adverse effects such a ban could have toward the security and safety of citizens within member nations, as well as the infrastructure of those nations; ALARMED that the Resolution does not specify that this ban is only in concern to the jurisdiction of other members, but is in fact a ban on the transfer to any other jurisdiction, even that of a non-member; DISTURBED that it effectively forbids member nations from fulfilling an obligation of a treaty, alliance, or other association with a non-member via this ban; COGNIZANT that this Assembly cannot create laws which affect non-members or violate their sovereignty; HEREBY repeals "General Assembly Resolution #197, Banning Extrajudicial Transfer". I've never written anything for the WA before, so I'm a little nervous posting this. Edit: I am abandoning this project after the response it received on the NS forum.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE Repeal "Rights and Duties of WA States" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#2 Proposed by: Railana Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #2: Rights and Duties of WA States (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Strongly affirming the need for a collection of World Assembly resolutions that clearly delineate the basic rights and responsibilities of member states, Regretting that the numerous flaws present in GAR #2, "Rights and Duties of WA States", necessitate its repeal, Condemning the target resolution's morally repugnant conception of war, which is that war is permissible so long as it is consensual, Shocked that this conception of war effectively legalizes armed conflict between two or more mutual aggressors, in which each party wishes to take control over the others' territory, population or resources, because such a war is technically consensual, Appalled that this conception of war also forbids military activity necessary for the maintenance of international security and the protection of human rights, such as peacemaking operations and humanitarian interventions, because not all parties consent to the conflict, Distressed that the target resolution forbids nations from any unrequested intervention in the sovereign affairs of other nations, regardless of whether such intervention is justified, as in the case of peacemaking operations and humanitarian intervention, Alarmed that the target resolution's requirement that resolutions be implemented in "good faith" is sufficiently vague as to permit the effective circumvention of resolutions through sincere yet invalid interpretations of resolutions, while prohibiting the World Assembly from passing a separate resolution governing the legitimate interpretation of resolutions, Concerned that the target resolution prevents the World Assembly from taking or supporting any military action whatsoever, even in circumstances where the target member state consents to such intervention, as in the case of peacekeeping, The General Assembly, Repeals GAR #2, "Rights and Duties of WA States". Voting Ends: 5 April 2016, 9:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Please note that this thread will automatically lock at 8:45 PM PT on that date.

Repeal "Ethics in International Trade" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#118 Proposed by: Sciongrad Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #118: Ethics in International Trade (Category: Advancement of Industry; Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The General Assembly, CONDEMNING the detrimental nature of internationally mandated protectionism on the world economy as imposed by GAR#118, "Ethics in International Trade," especially considering the ineffective means by which the original resolutions seeks to accomplish its goals, ALARMED that the World Assembly's economic intervention may disrupt the value of goods based on traditional factors caused by competition and instead place monetary value in social and ethical issues, CONCERNED that a company may fire workers, depriving them of what livelihood they had, in an attempt to offset the costs of the tariff, thus worsening the conditions of the very laborers that GAR#118 seeks to help, REMINDING members nations of the obligations incumbent upon them to comply with extant World Assembly legislation which deals with issues of social justice and the fair treatment of workers (in greater detail than the conditions enumerated in clause 1b), such as GAR#4, "Restrictions on Child Labor," GAR#7, "Workplace Safety Standards Act," GAR#21, "Living Wage Act," GAR#23, "Ban on Slavery and Trafficking," GAR#43, "WA Labor Relations Act," GAR#107, "Clean Water Act," GAR#176, "Disability Welfare Act," and GAR#234, "Freedom to Read and Learn," and others, CONFUSED as to the purpose of the wildly redundant and expensive system of assessment provided under the ITA's mandate, considering the issues of clause 1b are eclipsed entirely by the aforementioned guarantees provided by the World Assembly, CONSIDERING, with the foregoing obligations already incumbent on member nations in mind, that the ITA's focus must be on non-member nations, despite not having the jurisdiction to properly assess the conditions of laborers in such nations, as they cannot be compelled to comply with investigations into their labor conditions by the World Assembly, RECOGNIZING that non-member nations willing to submit to ITA investigation are likely to already have labor standards at least comparable to those stipulated in GAR#118, whereas non-member nations that refuse to allow investigation cannot be properly assessed anyway, AWARE that the magnitude of information that the ITA would have to regularly assess regarding literally every product and commodity produced would inevitably result in inaccurate or inequitable rulings based on limited information, DISPUTING the need for a bureaucracy mired by redundancy and superfluous procedures and whose mandate is crippled by its inability to properly perform its duties in non-member nations, making for a costly and thoroughly unworkable expense on member nations which benefits neither member nations, nor the workers that it seeks to aid, ASSERTING that it is a duty of the World Assembly to facilitate worthwhile goals, such as promoting the economic well-being of member nations, not putting member nations at an economic disadvantage by instituting idealistic policies that serve as an active detriment to member nations, Hereby, REPEALS General Assembly Resolution #118, Ethics in International Trade.

Repeal "Liberate NAZI EUROPE"
Repeal "Liberate NAZI EUROPE" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: Sweeping Proposed by: The Dark Description: WA Security Council Resolution #109: Liberate NAZI EUROPE shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The Security Council, Prefacing the arguments herein with a disclaimer that the ideology followed and promoted by NAZI EUROPE and its inhabitants to be one of hate and intolerance and that this proposal does not amount to approval or acceptance of said ideology, Believing, however, that every region should hold the right to self-protection in the way of Delegate-imposed password, should the natives of the region wish it, and that Liberations used in antithesis to this statute are in contradiction with the spirit of this council, Aware that SC#109 was passed in hopes of misusing a Liberation to open up a region to attack from outside forces, Stating that the multitude of attempts to forcibly take over the now-vulnerable region were utter failures in every aspect of the word, and that a combination of forces from many regions were unsuccessful in capturing NAZI EUROPE, to the amusement of the natives, Fervently condemning that SC#109 not only produced free face time for such a despicable and Condemned region, but that the subsequent attempts to attack the region only had the effect of strengthening the region and its membership, Therefore admonishing SC#109, its purpose, and effects as only promoting the region and ideology it attempted to destroy, and in fact doing more harm than good as well as abusing the power of the Liberation, Hereby Repeals SC#109. Votes For: 4,827 (59%) Votes Against: 3,301 (41%) Voting Ends: in 2 days 18 hours Amongst Equilism residents, voting is currently 4-7 (63% Against). NS SC debate.
Repeal "Protect War Correspondents"
Repeal "Protect War Correspondents" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#170 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #170: Protect War Correspondents (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly, Aware of the intent of "Protect War Correspondents"(GA#170), Deploring however, that GA#170 fails in many regards to afford adequate protections to war correspondents, Accepting that clause one of GA#170 states that militants are prohibited from interacting with war correspondents "with the intent of stymieing their actions", regardless of what those actions are, and knowing that such prohibitions are overly burdensome to enforce, Understanding that clause one also states that member states "shall be held accountable" for the behavior of individual militants towards war correspondents, without any regard for the intent or actions of those member states in attempting to limit behavior that violates the resolution, Noting that clause four states: "Individual member-states may deny war correspondents access to their territory, and as such, war correspondents must adhere to standard immigration policies prior to entering; war correspondents that enter without proper verification are exempt from all protection granted by the provisions of this resolution," Believing that nations in a state of belligerence often have differing views on the existence and position of borders between them and that such differences can result in immigration policies that are impossible to properly adhere to, thus limiting the extent of the protections supposedly afforded, Further believing that a nation can deny access to their territory through immigration policies that discriminate against war correspondents, which seriously reduces GA#170's effectiveness, Further noting that clause five declares: "War correspondents may aid any belligerent during conflict; by doing so, their protection will be nullified until post-conflict, exclusive of self-defense," Regretting that clause five would allow war correspondents to engage in espionage, only losing their protections after gathering the information and aiding a particular side of the conflict successfully, Deducing that clause six is both vague and poorly worded, using the phrase "compromising the war effort" to describe a situation in which war correspondents would have their "immunity relinquished", and thus be "subject to persecution by the afflicted nation", which is problematic for the following reasons: * "Compromising the war effort" is a vague catch-all term which can be applied to literally any reporting done by a war correspondent that portrays a nation in a negative manner, * "Relinquished" describes a process of voluntary action, rather than what should be an involuntary action such as "nullified" which was used in clause five, * "Persecution" is an entirely inappropriate term for reprisal in a war zone against those who, as the clause was likely intended to outline, use the protections afforded by the resolution to assist another nation in their war efforts, Concluding, as the original authoring nation did, that the myriad of flaws present in this resolution necessitate its repeal, Hereby repeals "Protect War Correspondents"(GA#170).

Repeal "Liberate NAZI EUROPE" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: SC#109 Proposed by: DWAnsia Description: WA Security Council Resolution #109: Liberate NAZI EUROPE shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The Security Council, Saddened at the intent of SC #109, which was to intentionally destroy the region through the malevolent application of a "Liberation" resolution, a gross misuse of the Security Council's power Concerned that SC #109 has set a precedent in which the Security Council may use its immense power to destroy any region with a differing ideology. Horrified the Security Council has used a "Liberation, "a way of combating region destruction", for the purposes of destroying NAZI EUROPE, a blatant disregard and disgusting abuse of the powers of the Security Council and conflicts with its goals of bringing peace and goodwill to the world. Realizing the Liberation of NAZI EUROPE was passed with the intention of it being being used as a weapon to destroy the region, painting the international community in a poor light, and seeking to ensure this is not the image the Security Council puts forth. Hereby Repeals SC #109: Liberate NAZI EUROPE. Votes For: 2,917 (33%) Votes Against: 5,821 (67%) Voting Ends: in 2 days 21 hours Amongst Equilism residents, voting is currently 9-19 (67% Against).
Repeal "Renewable Energy Installations" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#236 Proposed by: Mosktopia Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #236: Renewable Energy Installations (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The General Assembly: Notes that GAR #236, "Renewable Energy Installations," seeks to make the world a more eco-friendly place; but Documents that GAR #236 defines a renewable energy installation (REI) as "facilities which will generate power derived from naturally occurring resources that will have the least impact and damage on the environment through their operation," which is an unreasonably strict definition and automatically excludes a large number of power-generating methods and facilities that are renewable, efficient, and very eco-friendly simply because they are not the absolute least-impacting facilities one could imagine; Recalls that Clause (ii) of GAR #236 reads: "(ii) Having identified suitable sites within their borders, nations without renewable energy installations must build R.E.I.s at the designated sites, provided the nation is in an economically viable position to do so;" Believes that the strict definition of REI makes it unlikely that many member nations will be in an economically viable position to actually build said REIs - making the positive environmental impact of this resolution minimal, at best; Notes that Clause (i) of GAR #236 reads: "(i) Nations who do not already possess R.E.I's to identify key areas where the placement of facilities would cause the least environmental disturbance," which unfortunately does not allow member nations to designate REI locations based on ease of construction, access, and/or maintenance, but rather focuses only on the narrow issue of ensuring the least possible environmental disturbance - forcing those member nations who can afford to build REIs to do so in suboptimal places; Understands that Clauses (i) and (ii) of GAR #236, together require nations to identify areas where REIs would cause the least environmental disturbance and build REIs on those sites, even if: The nation does not need any more energy facilities, The nation is already entirely reliant on clean energy, The site is of historical or cultural significance, There is already something of great value built on the site, Building a power generating facility on the site would be foolhardy or dangerous, and/or The nation would rather spend the considerable resources necessary to build a power generating facility on other equally environmentally-friendly projects, such as wetlands restoration or recycling centers;Acknowledges that if GAR #236 is repealed, member nations can still demonstrate a commitment to renewable energy via national legislation, international agreements, and through the free choices of individual citizens; Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution #236, "Renewable Energy Installations".

Repeal "Internet Net Neutrality Act"
Repeal "Internet Net Neutrality Act" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#89 Proposed by: Auralia Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #89: Internet Net Neutrality Act (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Free Press) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Affirming the importance of network neutrality and regulating Internet service providers to prevent content discrimination and other anti-competitive business practices, Regretting that the flaws present in GAR #89, "Internet Net Neutrality Act", necessitate its repeal, Recognizing that the target resolution prohibits Internet service providers from engaging in "network discrimination," defined in part as "intentionally blocking, interfering with, discriminating against, impairing, or degrading the ability of any person to access, use, send, post, receive, or offer any lawful content, application, or service through the Internet," Alarmed that many standard, common sense Internet pricing models, such as charging more for faster speeds and greater usage, are prohibited by the target resolution because they technically constitute "interfer[ence] with...the ability of...person to access...the Internet" as well as "discriminat[ion] against...person" based on price paid, Stunned that this restriction effectively requires Internet service providers to charge a person with very high levels of Internet usage the same amount for Internet access as a person with very low levels of Internet usage, which is ridiculous, Concerned that this restriction harms both consumers and Internet service providers by preventing the former from purchasing an Internet plan appropriate to their needs and income while precluding the latter from recouping the costs of their substantial investments in network infrastructure, Emphasizing that these pricing models are considered to be perfectly legitimate in virtually all other industries and markets, and there is no rational basis for singling out Internet service providers for special treatment, Troubled by the redundancy in the target resolution's title ("Internet Net Neutrality Act"), Hoping that a replacement network neutrality resolution will soon be passed without these flaws, The General Assembly, Repeals GAR #89, "Internet Net Neutrality Act". Votes For: 6,529 (80%) Votes Against: 1,640 (20%) Voting Ends: in 3 days 2 hours Amongst Equilism residents, voting is currently 18-8 (69% For).
Repeal "Condemn Macedon"
Repeal "Condemn Macedon" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: SC#1 Proposed by: Islamic Republic e Jariri Description: WA Security Council Resolution #1: Condemn Macedon shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Description: WA Security Council Resolution #1: Condemn Macedon shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The Security Council: RECOGNIZING the attempt made by the resolution to black mark the former invader region of Macedon. ACKNOWLEDGES that the resolution meant well, as the region of Macedon did conduct numerous raids on weaker regions. HOWEVER must highlight that the region of Macedon is no longer in the same level of power it formerly held, being far too small and inactive, and therefore no longer capable of inflicting the harm it used to be able to conduct all those years ago. With that in mind, this repeal questions what benefits the resolution can serve in the modern day WA and to its members apart from monumental purposes. REMINDS the esteemed council that the WA takes the notion of passing 'Condemnations' and 'Commendations' seriously and not as trophy items. RESPECTS the resolution's status as being the first passed bill of the Security Council. THOUGH must highlight the resolution's absurdity especially with regards to its hatred of ''bold orange text with blue accents on every colony's world factbook entry''. Such subjective statements have no political relevance worthy of a serious condemnation. HEREBY REPEALS ''Condemn Macedon''.

Repeal "Protection of Outer Space Act"
Repeal "Protection of Outer Space Act" Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#63 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #63: Protection of Outer Space Act (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly, Applauding efforts to reduce the number of hazardous objects in the orbit of celestial bodies which either do support or may support life, Understanding, however, that "Protection of Outer Space Act,"(GA#63) contains a number of flaws in its text including, but not limited to: * Treating outer space as an "environment" to be "polluted," rather than protecting habitats from space borne debris, * Failing to account for the fact that problems during recycling may be "unnecessary" while also being unintentional and unavoidable, * Requiring recycling efforts to use methods that are "least likely to cause unnecessary risk" without expanding upon what unnecessary risks it is meant to reduce, * Urging nations to "remain outside of Outer Space until their crafts and crew are compliant with its(COSC's) standards" without any regard for the fact that development of such technologies is often achieved during the early stages of space exploration, * Restricting protections to planets that contain nations only, rather than those containing life or life supporting environments, * Defining the term "outer space" in such a way as to include the space occupied by orbital habitats(while not necessarily protecting their surrounding area from space borne debris) and preventing any future resolution on that topic, * Further defining the term "outer space" in such a way as to require the "Coordination of Space Consortium(COSC)" to be responsible for most of the observable universe(or approximately 4.077 times 10 to the 32nd power, cubic light-years of space), Believing that, while the immediate area surrounding habitats and heavily traveled routes deserve some protection, it is lunacy to attempt protection of all of space and ultimately unneeded, Hereby repeals "Protection of Outer Space Act"(GA#63).

Repeal "Chemical Weapons Protocol"
Repeal "Chemical Weapons Protocol" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#266 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #266: Chemical Weapons Protocol (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly, Believing that chemical weapons may cause loss of life and environmental damage that is unconscionable to the members of this august assembly, Bemoaning, however, that the "Chemical Weapons Protocol"(GA#266) contains a number of flaws that preserve an environment in which chemical weapons may still easily fall into the hands of those who would use them recklessly, Regretting that the resolution fails to make a case for the use of incapacitating agents, which are non-lachrymatory, non-lethal, and heavily restricted by GA#266, Noting that nearly any chemical "is capable of causing death or severe harm... primarily through its toxic chemical properties" and therefore nearly any chemical is thus classified as a chemical agent for the purposes of GA#266, Specifying that the World Assembly is committed to improving this legislation, to both reduce flaws, and ensure a more balanced resolution on Chemical Weapons, Believing that under these circumstances a repeal of GA#266 is both reasonable and expected, Hereby repeals the "Chemical Weapons Protocol"(GA#266), Co-Authored by Chester Pearson Votes For: 9,412 (84%) Votes Against: 1,791 (16%) Voting Ends: in 1 day 15 hours Amongst Equilism residents, voting is currently 38-6 (86% For).

Repeal "Animal Protection Act "

Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#228 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #228: Animal Protection Act (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly: Praising the noble intent of the "Animal Protection Act"(GA#228), Deploring however, that GA#228 is subject to many flaws and errors which make it more difficult to protect animals effectively, Regretting that the resolution's limited definition of animals as only those species which are capable of experiencing "the unpleasant sensory experience associated with actual tissue damage" limits the capacity of that resolution to properly protect all domestic animals, Further regretting that the restrictive definition of pain in the resolution does little or nothing to limit suffering nor does it completely prohibit non-painful abuse, including many forms of neglect, Disagreeing that permanent responsibility for an animal should be so easily established without regards for the rights of temporary or transitory caregivers, Understanding that GA#228's author surely meant to use the word "ancestor" rather than "descendant" in their definition of an owner, which would ensure the care of the children of a purchased animal, Noting that the periods of time between PAWS Committee meetings are a detriment to the protection that committee is intended to provide, Further noting that the need to hold meetings on a regular basis, or at the very least "as needed" is significant and would benefit any future resolution on this subject, Believing that this resolution's many flaws make it a hindrance to the members of the World Assembly, rather than a boon, Hereby repeals GA# 228, the "Animal Protection Act". Votes For: 5,224 (80%) Votes Against: 1,270 (20%) Voting Ends: in 3 days 4 hours Amongst Equilism residents, voting is currently 17-2 (89% For). Debate thread on the official NS forums.
Repeal "Rainforest Protection Act"

Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#261 Proposed by: Auralia Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #261: Rainforest Protection Act (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Woodchipping) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Affirming the purpose of GAR #261, "Rainforest Protection Act", namely to protect and preserve tropical rainforests, Nevertheless believing that the flaws present in the target resolution necessitate its repeal, Disturbed by the target resolution's ban on slash-and-burn agriculture in tropical rainforest areas, which fails to take into account that slash-and-burn agriculture: can be practiced in an ecologically sustainable manner and only causes environmental damage when insufficient time is allowed for vegetation regrowth, and is a necessity for subsistence farmers who would otherwise be faced with the prospect of starvation due to a lack of suitable farmland in forested areas, Troubled by the target resolution's ban on mineral extraction in tropical rainforest areas when it causes any surface ecosystem damage, which fails to take into account that such damage may only be temporary and that the land can be restored to equivalent land capacity through replanting and soil replacement after resource extraction is complete, Distressed by the lack of an appeals process or even any established criteria for the Tropical Rainforest Protection Agency's determination of logging quotas, which allows the Agency to arbitrarily restrict forestry industries in World Assembly member nations without any accountability, The General Assembly, Repeals GAR #261, "Rainforest Protection Act".

Repeal "Access to Science in Schools"

Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#48 Proposed by: Auralia Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #48: Access to Science in Schools (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Affirming the purpose of GAR #48, "Access to Science in Schools", namely to ensure that all students have access to a quality education in the sciences, Noting that the target resolution requires that all schools that receive government aid include peer-reviewed science in their curricula, Remarking that the term "school" includes institutions of higher learning, Recognizing that many institutions of higher learning do not include peer-reviewed science in their curricula as it is irrelevant to the material being taught, such as: graduate schools teaching law and business, vocational schools teaching the vast majority of trades, such as locksmithing, piano tuning or tailoring, and arts schools teaching the visual or performing arts, Emphasizing that in many nations, such institutions are attended exclusively by students who have already received substantial instruction in the sciences as part of their primary and secondary education, but who have ultimately chosen to specialize in another area, Acknowledging that such institutions receive government funding in certain nations, placing them under the purview of the target resolution, Concluding that the target resolution's requirements are completely impractical and inappropriate for such institutions, Recommending that any replacement resolution simply mandate that all member nations provide students with a quality science education rather than micromanaging the affairs of particular schools, The General Assembly, Repeals GAR #48, "Access to Science in Schools".

Argument: The General Assembly, Realizing that Resolution 171, Freedom in Medical Research, says the following, "Doctors, and other medical professionals that utilize controversial forms of treatment shall not be penalized by either the individual, post-procedure, or the government, unless fully informed consent was not acquired," Regretting that this provision prevents patients from suing physicians who have harmed them while providing "controversial forms of treatment" and that it further prevents governments from prosecuting or removing the medical licenses of physicians who act negligently while providing "controversial forms of treatment," a phrase that the resolution never defines, Believing that the patient, at least in some cases (which should be determined by law), is entitled to compensation for any loss or injury that he suffers at the hands of a physician, even if that patient did provide informed consent to the procedure that harmed him, Opining that consent to a controversial procedure is not necessarily consent to every potential loss or injury that might result therefrom, Suggesting that physicians who perform "controversial forms of treatment" and want to avoid lawsuits require the persons whom they are treating to sign contracts waiving the right to sue (see Resolution 205, Freedom to Contract) instead of relying on this Assembly to protect them from their own negligence or incompetence when they harm their patients, Concerned that the provision quoted above unduly might restrict the authority of governments to regulate or to ban unproven medical procedures that are performed by charlatans and that are likely to cause severe harm or significant financial loss to patients and their families, Noting that Resolution 171, Freedom in Medical Research, also says the following, "Medicinal drugs, and other such substances shall visibly print the side-effects, ingredients, and the company in which the substance was produced on the vessel in which it's sold in," Understanding that it is often impossible to fit an entire list of the ingredients and potential side effects of a drug on the label of the vessel and that it is more reasonable for the drug and its container to be accompanied by a separate pamphlet or booklet that contains a full list of ingredients and potential side effects in a font size that is large enough to read, Worried, therefore, that the requirement that all side effects and ingredients be printed on the vessel is unreasonable, Holding the position that Resolution 171, Freedom in Medical Research, is flawed for the aforementioned reasons, Clarifying that the passage of this repeal does not prevent member states from enacting and enforcing their own laws to provide legal protection or immunity to physicians who offer and provide controversial or experimental forms of medical treatment, Repeals Resolution 171, Freedom in Medical Research, thus rendering it null and void. Votes For: 3,816 (70%) Votes Against: 1,619 (30%) Voting Ends: in 3 days 5 hours --- Debate at the General Assembly forum.
Repeal "Condemn Hippostania"
Repeal "Condemn Hippostania" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: SC#107 Proposed by: SkyDip Description: WA Security Council Resolution #107: Condemn Hippostania shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The Security Council, RECOGNIZING the World Assembly as a sovereign and governing body of the member nations therein, REALIZING that many nations which hold membership in the World Assembly are in violation, intentionally or otherwise, of some laws passed by the General Assembly, BELIEVING that it is fully unrealistic to expect all nations in the WA to comply to the letter of every mandate, law, and sub-council given power in these halls, FURTHER BELIEVING that The Republic of Hippostania exaggerated tales of their WA transgressions and that the nation in question sought a Security Council Condemnation as a tool of notoriety and fame, NOTING that Hippostania has not carried out any unique or particularly world-affecting misdeeds as characterized in SC#107 and that many of the crimes mentioned have been trumped-up with extravagant claims and information provided by Hippostania, a practice highly discouraged in the Security Council, COGNISANT that far more evil nations exist in the world that deserve the attention of the Security Council and that such Condemnations should have their use restricted to nations that commit the most egregious transgressions in order to not diminish its value, CONFIRMING that such relatively minor infractions should not be forever immortalized in the halls of the Security Council, WISHING TO altogether strike down a Condemnation that could be easily applied to many nations across the world, HEREBY REPEALS SC#107. Votes For: 5,227 (80%) Votes Against: 1,298 (20%) Voting Ends: in 3 days 4 hours

Repeal "Physical Sites Protection Act" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#244 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #244: Physical Sites Protection Act (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The World Assembly, Acknowledging the good intentions of GA#244, Believing, however, that the vast assortment of sites in WA nations would be better handled by those individual nations, Further insisting that the WA cannot begin to comprehend the cultural significance, nor regulate the use of innumerable sites that exist in WA nations, Clarifying that man-made sites may become significant through their commercial use, and that banning such use would irreparably harm a site's cultural significance, Insisting that the PHPC's interference in a nation's preservation could actually cause more harm to the site's integrity and value, Noting the development of a culturally significant site may be tied directly to non-interference in its creation and maintenance, Realizing that individual nations can protect their cultural heritage more efficiently and effectively than the World Assembly as a whole, Considering the flaws present in the original resolution, and confident in the ability of WA nations to legislate on this issue individually, Hereby repeals GA#244.

Repeal "Reduction of Abortion Act"
Repeal "Reduction of Abortion Act" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#44 Proposed by: Studly Penguins Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #44: Reduction of Abortion Act (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: To People of the World Assembly: APPLAUDING the author's intention of helping reduce abortion rates worldwide. APPALLED that this resolution has been allowed to stand due to the fact that it has done nothing to reduce abortions. Examples from GAR #44: STRONGLY URGES member states to research, invest in, and provide universal access to abortion reduction services FURTHER ENCOURAGES member states to provide financial aid to pregnant individuals and parents to reduce or remove economic reasons for abortion and economic barriers to childbirth This resolution should have required the state to provide stated services if there ever was any real intent to reduce abortion. Also it only guarantees a right to information, but not the right to receive anything from a decision derived from such information. FURTHERMORE Without requiring member states to provide all the options or guaranteeing this right to its citizenry; it opens the door to more abortions or unwanted births and/or pregnancies. Article 5, section A and Article 6 render this resolution useless due to if it is all ready banned in a member state, no assistance can or will be provided. It takes away what little power this Resolution had to begin with. ADDITIONALLY Hopes future legislation can be passed that allows a universal right to choose. HEREBY repeals GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION # 44 Reduction of Abortion Act, rendering it null and void. Votes For: 5,414 (70%) Votes Against: 2,365 (30%) Voting Ends: in 2 days 15 hours


LaGuita [Sanlucar de Barrameda] - VINOS LIBRES "just honest wines"
Manzanilla is Sherry made under "flor' like a Fino but it is made in Criaderas that age in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda. So to be clear Manzanilla can only be made in Sanlucar de Barrameda. The proximity to the sea gives the Manzanilla a saline quality that Fino does not have. Further, the greater humidity in Sanlucar causes the "flor" to be much thicker during the months of extreme temperature, protecting it better from oxidation. Therefore the biological development is different. As a result, the Manzanilla is lighter than Fino. This wine has a very different nose than fino. The reason that it is called Manzanilla is that it smells like the tea manzanilla, the Spanish name for Camomile.
Want to know more on Fino vs Manzanilla?
The winery was started by Mr. Domingo perez Marin in 1852. His Manzanilla soon became famous because of its freshness and consistency. But the name evolved because the founder would always ask tienes "Guita" - (got cash) to anyone who wanted to buy from him. Guita in Andalus is slang for cash and also means string. That is why since 1908 the bottle has a bit of string running down the neck from capsule to label. Interestingly, this was the first Manzanilla to carry a bottling date on the back label - so you know it's fresh.
Sanlucar is a coastal town near the Puerto de Santa Maria. It is a short from the some of the most beautiful beaches in Spain that stretch south of Cadiz towards Gibraltar.
A local campaign "start whats good" reminiscent of "here's to the good life" - well the product is great anyway and has a justifiably earned reputation among the best Manzanillas in Spain.
Sanlucar de Barrameda is about 15 miles NW of Jerez de la Frontera where Fino is made but its proximity to the sea creates a very different wine altogether.
In keeping with LaGuita's history of freshness we have decided to import LaGuita four times a year - in step with the four big seasonal "Sacas" perfomed by the Capataz.
Saca comes from sacar in spanish which means to remove - this is the term used for the process of removing a portion of all the solera casks blending then bottling. It is interesting to note that the "flor" on the Manzanilla is influenced by temperature, moisture and other climactic conditions and therefore will influence the personality of the Manzanilla each season.
Soak the clams in water with a little sugar for about two hours to get all the sand out, changing the water about every ½ hour.
Start with olive oil in the pan on a medium flame, add the garlic sliced, when it is slightly golden add (in this order) the paprika and stir it and then quickly add the flour (otherwise the paprika can burn) and stir it around. Then add the clams, the wine and the chopped parsley. Add salt to taste. Let this cook on a medium flame until the clams open, then it is done. If cooked in the "cazuela" it can be served in that. Make sure you have a lot of bread to dunk.

Shoryu Ramen resumes plans to open franchises in the UK and internationally
Shoryu, the London-based ramen brand, has partnered with the Ford Consultants Group to develop franchises in the UK and abroad, successfully overcoming the challenges presented by Covid's pandemic and strategically opening in London and across the country. It states that it is ready to start the program.
Shoryu originally Tried to start franchise in 2019..However, with the advent of Covid, the program was interrupted while focusing on its own restaurant, delivery kitchen, and online DIY ramen kit.
We operate 13 restaurants under the Shoryu Ramen brand in locations such as Carnaby, Covent Garden, Liverpool Street, Shoreditch and Soho. We also operate Westfield Shepherd's Bush Japan Center, Yokocho Ramen, and Ichiban Japanese Food Hall.
"Since 2012, we have been working hard to establish Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen in the UK. Now we are ready to work with Ford Consultants and work with our dedicated franchisee to reach a larger audience. "Masu," says Taku Tokumine, the founder of Shoryu Ramen.
"The future opportunities for franchisees and Shoryu are exciting. I look forward to new customers enjoying my hometown ramen in the UK and abroad in the future."
The restaurant group says it is looking for a partner who is interested in running a single or multi-unit franchise business right away.
Dominique Ford, director of the Ford Consultants Group, said:
"As the industry emerges from a very difficult time, there is a real desire to bring proven brands and concepts out of the capital and into rural towns and cities where the demand for great culinary and dining experiences continues to grow. "
Source: London News Today
Shoryu lines up UK, international franchise plans
Ramen group Shoryu has announced plans to expand its UK and international business, as it looks to take a bigger slice of the casual dining market.
The company, which is backed by Japan Centre Group, Toridoll Holdings Corporation and Rosinter Restaurants, said it has partnered with franchising specialist Seeds Consulting.
Launched in 2012 by the Japan Centre's CEO Tak Tokumine, Shoryu Ramen currently operates 12 UK restaurants across London, Oxford and Manchester and one in Fukuoka, Japan.
Tokumine outlined his ambitions to grow the business in a interview with Restaurant.
Seeds Consulting director Matteo Frigeri described the ramen chain as being "loved by consumers and landlords alike: its performance so far has consistently outpaced the rest of the industry and very few brands can say to have such… backers", he said.
"Its operation is half the size of an average casual dining restaurant one and, at a time of rising labour costs, this is another competitive advantage we are looking to exploit."
The Seeds Consulting director said his company will target restaurant and franchise groups as well as travel retail operators, both in the UK and abroad.
"Ramen is becoming increasingly on trend also outside of the UK: Shoryu can quickly become the number one ramen concept in Europe," added Frigeri.

Defensive, antimicrobial, and insecticidal gland secretion in the Bornean ant Colobopsis explodens
by Myrmecological News Blog · Published 07 October 2020 · Updated 08 October 2020

Michaela Hönigsberger, Department of Agrobiotechnology (IFA-Tulln); DI Alexandra Parich, Department of Agrobiotechnology (IFA-Tulln); Prof. Rainer Schuhmacher, Department of Agrobiotechnology (IFA-Tulln); Mag. Alexey Kopchinskiy, Vienna University of Technology; Dr. Herbert Zettel, Natural History Museum Vienna; Dr. Alice Laciny, Natural History Museum Vienna; and Prof. Irina Druzhinina, Vienna University of Technology.
In the recent article "Strong antimicrobial and low insecticidal activity of mandibular gland reservoir content in Bornean 'exploding ants' Colobopsis explodens Laciny & Zettel, 2018 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)", Michaela Hönigsberger et al. study the potentially toxic chemicals that C. explodens ejects when threatened. Not only it is a defense mechanism against enemies but likely also an antimicrobial agent. Here, Michaela highlights the main points of their study and shares some pictures.
An Interview compiled by Patrick Krapf, Felix Oberhauser, Sheethal Vepur
MNB: Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
MH: My name is Michaela Hönigsberger, I am 34 years young and I am from Austria. I have completed my master's degree in Molecular Biology with focus on immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, and molecular medicine at the University of Vienna. In 2014, I started my PhD studies at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU Vienna), more precisely at the Institute of Bioanalytics and Agro-Metabolomics, which belongs to the Department of Agrobiotechnology (IFA-Tulln). There, I have developed my passion for ants, especially for the numerous chemical compounds they use for communicating with their environment. Under the supervision of Rainer Schuhmacher, I have learned the techniques of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS), which together are powerful tools for the analysis of such compounds. Within the scope of the PhD project, I also had the chance to investigate "exploding ants" in their natural habitat in Brunei. Moreover, I got married and gave birth to my son. Currently, I am about to finalize the written part of my PhD thesis and am also employed at the Institute of Science and Technology (IST Austria), where I again can follow my passion of working with ants and their chemicals. Thus, I would consider myself as an (ongoing) chemical ecologist, who is trying to build bridges between the biology and the chemistry of ants.

MNB: Could you briefly outline your research you published in Myrmecol. News in layman's terms?
MH: The ants we have worked with show a unique feature: One of their body glands is greatly enlarged and filled with a colored secretion. When they are threatened, they can eject this secretion via different methods. Some species do it via their mouth openings, but some species even go further – they can expel this secretion via a suicidal "explosion", in which they burst their gaster. The sticky defensive secretion is then spread onto the enemies, which subsequently are made innocuous. In the recent studies, we aimed to widen the knowledge about this fascinating insect secretion and its possible roles for the ants and their environment. Our model ant species was the recently described species Colobopsis explodens (Laciny & Zettel, 2018), which is known for its "explosive" character. First, we wanted to know if their secretion can kill the targeted opponents by deadly toxic chemicals. Therefore, we observed the effects of the secretion on the enemies, in the natural environment. In the lab, we then also applied the prepared secretion, as well as two of its identified chemicals onto diverse insects, and looked for their death or survival. In another approach, we wanted to find out if the secretion serves a further role than just defense. Specifically, we wanted to know if the secretion shows antimicrobial effects and thus may be used for hygienic purposes by the ants. We, therefore, cultivated diverse bacteria and fungi and observed their growth under the presence of the secretion or its main chemicals.

MNB: What is the take-home message of your work?
MH: We showed that the secretion, when used by C. explodens against arthropod enemies, mainly acts via its stickiness, and not via deadly toxic chemicals. However, the secretion as a whole, and especially one of the investigated chemical compounds, showed profound antimicrobial activity. This means that the secretion may not only be used for defense, but may also serve an additional role as a disinfection agent, which can be used by the ants to keep their nests free of harmful bacteria and fungi.

MNB: What was your motivation for this study?
MH: The motivation for our interdisciplinary project group, led by Irina Druzhinina, was to investigate different aspects of the "exploding ants", including their taxonomy, evolution, ecology, chemistry and nutrition. With this study, we wanted to add some pieces to the complex overall picture depicting the interactions of these ants with their environment, specifically with their microbiome.
MNB: What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome in this project?
MH: Definitely the procurement of the ant samples. The process started with the paperwork that had to be done to get all the necessary documents and permits. Fortunately, we had great support with this from colleagues at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam. Also, travelling to the remote jungle area and doing research there was quite challenging. Most of our ants had to be collected from the densely overgrown canopy of the rainforest. Luckily, we had a professional tree climber in the team who facilitated the task of sampling the ants on the very large trees. Next, we had to overcome the issue with the cooling and transportation of the samples. For this, a sophisticated protocol was established to ensure continuous freezing of the ants from their sampling in the jungle to their analysis in Austria.

MNB: Do you have any tips for others who are interested in doing related research?
MH: When you are doing research on complex biological systems, do not become desperate if you cannot see the whole picture at first. Also, try to make your research tangible for everyone and try to transfer your excitement about it to the people around you. I have had the experience that many people are fascinated by ants, and even by their chemistry when they have the chance to get to know more about them.
MNB: Where do you see the future for this particular field of ant research?
MH: I see a big potential in the field of chemical ecology, because it is an interdisciplinary field with lots of open research questions to be answered. I would like to see more research on insect secretions, because they may be hitherto unexplored sources for bioactive compounds with potential benefits for humans.

An American Health Dilemma Race Medicine And Health Care In The United States 1900 2000
Explores the state of health care in relation to African Americans from the early days of the U.S. to the present, covering topics such as the insurance industry, social and economic factors, eugenics, and medical experiments.
Genre : Health & Fitness
Author : W. Michael Byrd
Publisher : Psychology Press
An American Health Dilemma A Medical History Of African Americans And The Problem Of Race Beginnings To 1900
Genre : African Americans
An American Health Dilemma
At times mirroring and at times shockingly disparate to the rise of traditional white American medicine, the history of African-American health care is a story of traditional healers; root doctors; granny midwives; underappreciated and overworked African-American physicians; scrupulous and unscrupulous white doctors and scientists; governmental support and neglect; epidemics; and poverty. Virtually every part of this story revolves around race. More than 50 years after the publication of An American Dilemma, Gunnar Myrdal's 1944 classic about race relations in the USA, An American Health Dilemma presents a comprehensive and groundbreaking history and social analysis of race, race relations and the African-American medical and public health experience. Beginning with the origins of western medicine and science in Egypt, Greece and Rome the authors explore the relationship between race, medicine, and health care from the precursors of American science and medicine through the days of the slave trade with the harrowing middle passage and equally deadly breaking-in period through the Civil War and the gains of reconstruction and the reversals caused by Jim Crow laws. It offers an extensive examination of the history of intellectual and scientific racism that evolved to give sanction to the mistreatment, medical abuse, and neglect of African Americans and other non-white people. Also included are biographical portraits of black medical pioneers like James McCune Smith, the first African American to earn a degree from a European university, and anecdotal vignettes,like the tragic story of "the Hottentot Venus", which illustrate larger themes. An American Health Dilemma promises to become an irreplaceable and essential look at African-American and medical history and will provide an invaluable baseline for future exploration of race and racism in the American health system.

Dying In The City Of The Blues
This groundbreaking book chronicles the history of sickle cell anemia in the United States, tracing its transformation from an "invisible" malady to a powerful, yet contested, cultural symbol of African American pain and suffering. Set in Memphis, home of one of the nation's first sickle cell clinics, Dying in the City of the Blues reveals how the recognition, treatment, social understanding, and symbolism of the disease evolved in the twentieth century, shaped by the politics of race, region, health care, and biomedicine. Using medical journals, patients' accounts, black newspapers, blues lyrics, and many other sources, Keith Wailoo follows the disease and its sufferers from the early days of obscurity before sickle cell's "discovery" by Western medicine; through its rise to clinical, scientific, and social prominence in the 1950s; to its politicization in the 1970s and 1980s. Looking forward, he considers the consequences of managed care on the politics of disease in the twenty-first century. A rich and multilayered narrative, Dying in the City of the Blues offers valuable new insight into the African American experience, the impact of race relations and ideologies on health care, and the politics of science, medicine, and disease.

An American Dilemma
In this landmark effort to understand African American people in the New World, Gunnar Myrdal provides deep insight into the contradictions of American democracy as well as a study of a people within a people. The title of the book, 'An American Dilemma', refers to the moral contradiction of a nation torn between allegiance to its highest ideals and awareness of the base realities of racial discrimination. The touchstone of this classic is the jarring discrepancy between the American creed of respect for the inalienable rights to freedom, justice, and opportunity for all and the pervasive violations of the dignity of blacks. The appendices are a gold mine of information, theory, and methodology. Indeed, two of the appendices were issued as a separate work given their importance for systematic theory in social research. The new introduction by Sissela Bok offers a remarkably intimate yet rigorously objective appraisal of Myrdal—a social scientist who wanted to see himself as an analytic intellectual, yet had an unbending desire to bring about change. 'An American Dilemma' is testimonial to the man as well as the ideas he espoused. When it first appeared 'An American Dilemma' was called "the most penetrating and important book on contemporary American civilization" by Robert S. Lynd; "One of the best political commentaries on American life that has ever been written" in The American Political Science Review; and a book with "a novelty and a courage seldom found in American discussions either of our total society or of the part which the Negro plays in it" in 'The American Sociological Review'. It is a foundation work for all those concerned with the history and current status of race relations in the United States.
Genre : Political Science
Author : Gunnar Myrdal
The Health Care Dilemma
The patient ease studies collected in this book provide first-hand accounts of health care delivery in multiple settings in a variety of national and local systems. These accounts, focusing on real experiences and real patients, transcend the rhetoric of political debate about health care delivery. The cases offer lessons for how we might draw on the virtues of other health care systems, understand strengths and shortcomings in our current system, and work toward potential improvements. --

Communities In Action
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Nighttime Breastfeeding
Nighttime for many new parents in the United States is fraught with the intense challenges of learning to breastfeed and helping their babies sleep so they can get rest themselves. Through careful ethnographic study of the dilemmas raised by nighttime breastfeeding, and their examination in the context of anthropological, historical, and feminist studies, this volume unravels the cultural tensions that underlie these difficulties. As parents negotiate these dilemmas, they not only confront conflicting medical guidelines about breastfeeding and solitary infant sleep, but also larger questions about cultural and moral expectations for children and parents, and their relationship with one another.

INVICTUS GAMES TORONTO 2017 LAUNCHES INAUGURAL NATIONAL FLAG TOUR
TORONTO– The Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Organizing Committee announced today that it will bring the spirit of the Games to all Canadians, with the launch of its inaugural National Flag Tour.
The Invictus Games Toronto 2017 National Flag Tour will travel from coast-to-coast and visit visit 22 military bases, 15 legions and over 50 communities who have been a part of Canada's rich 150-year history.
As a nod to the anniversary of Confederation, Invictus Games Toronto 2017 is also conducting a search for 150 proud Canadians to help carry the Official Invictus Games Flag – a physical representation of the unconquerable spirit of the Games' competitors – across Canada.
"The National Flag Tour aims to engage the hearts and minds of all Canadians by inviting them to participate as Flagbearers and to attend stops along the tour," Michael Burns, CEO, Invictus Games Toronto 2017. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 150 Canadians to stand alongside our military community and witness to how the transformative power of sport helps our wounded warriors."
Travelling as far east as Gander, Newfoundland and west to Comox, British Columbia, the 37-day Invictus Games Toronto 2017 National Flag Tour will connect Canadians from all parts of the country, and allow individuals across the nation to be involved in this exciting event.
Burns added: "We are honoured to have the Canadian Armed Forces, Veteran Affairs Canada, BMO, Jaguar Land Rover, Via Rail and PC on the road with us for the National Flag Tour. As the official Flag Tour partners, we are grateful for their contributions. Partners like this make our Invictus Games National Flag Tour possible."
Applicants are encouraged to visit InvictusGames2017.com to register and share their stories of why they want to be an Invictus Games Toronto 2017 National Flagbearer.
The National Flag Tour takes place from August 16 to September 22. Visit InvictusGames2017.com for the full Flag Tour schedule.
Established by Prince Harry and now in its third installment, the Invictus Games, presented by Jaguar Land Rover, will be hosted in venues across Toronto from September 23 to 30, 2017.
The Invictus Games are far more than a seven-day sporting event; it's a means of rehabilitative therapy for the participating wounded, ill and injured active duty and veteran service members from 17 nations. The Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for all who serve their country as well as their families and caregivers.

CRL Van Portholes give your vehicle that classic look. They install in 2-1/4" (57 mm) thick van walls, and with black powder coated aluminum frames they have a professionally installed look. Three traditional porthole designs are available with two types of glazing: dark tinted acrylic bubble or tinted tempered flat glass.


This look couldn't be more "me" if it tried!
First created in 1982, Chanel's Les 4 Ombres have enjoyed continuous success over the years, and most new collections have featured new quads, some new, some LE. In fact, I think it was Chanel who first ever actually introduced the concept of the eyeshadow quad.
This collection features items entirely dedicated to the eyes and takes its inspiration from tweet, the iconic fabric of the House of Chanel. The quads are inspired by a selection of House tweeds, in which each of the four shadows in each quad represents one of the coloured threads present in a particular fabric tweed.

I ordered these for my granddaughter who loves volleyball. The are so cute and soft. She will love the color and the word volleyball across the back of them. I would order them again. They are great.
ProsThese are soft and will be cool to wear winter or summer. The colors you have to choice from are great and gives you a great variety.
I have been pleased with the flannel pants. I have purchased for my grand daughters 2 years in a row. They love them!!
These are really cute and roomy, the material is a little thinner than I had expected for the price. Customer service was great they shipped out quickly they are really cute and the wording is on the back securely and has not peeled off after 2 washes which is refreshing! Other than the material being a little bit thin they are wonderful!
I ordered these in our team colors for our softball team as part of their goody bag for an out of town tournament. The girls loved them! They looked just like I expected on line. I will order again for some other sports that my nieces play, and gifts etc. My order was delayed and they called me to let me know, and were very attentive to getting me my order. I appreciated that customer service. Great price too!
My daughter loves these flannel pants. She uses them for sleepwear. They are very roomy, and the length is great.
I came across these flannel pants because the ones I was buying before were out of stock, I will continue to buy these pants in the future. They are better quality and also print much nicer than the other brand I was using.
ProsGreat Quality, very nice to print on.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But just imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Great blog!
I know this web page gives quality based posts and other information, is there any other web page which presents such things in quality?
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Safari. Excellent Blog!
If you want to increase your familiarity only keep visiting this website and be updated with the latest information posted here.

I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A few of my blog audience have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any solutions to help fix this issue?
It's not my first time to pay a quick visit this website, i am visiting this web site dailly and take good information from here daily.
I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this during my search for something relating to this.

I've been on SparkPeople for a few years now. Have an impressive number of points. Still not to my goal, but not that far from it.
What have I lacked? Commitment. But in my case, it is because I have so bloody many things to commit to that I do each of them as a part-time job. I put in the hours I can when I can, and hope that I am advancing toward my goal of being the man I want to be. There is some evidence that I'm succeeding, and some evidence that I need to put more work into more areas.
Even so, last January I had ballooned to 272 pounds, mostly due to holiday eating at the house I was living in. I pulled myself down to around 240 before leaving there, and am bouncing 228-231 right now.
If you're worried about a diet because you don't have the time to put all the thought and effort into it, I think I am proof you don't have to -- you just have to keep putting SOME time and effort into it, as much as you can, until you get there. I have a few pounds to go before I'm happy, but I'm confident I will get there. Just keep checking into SparkPeople daily and you'll keep your head in the game.
Congrats on the weight loss, VERY NICE!
Thank-you for the reminder. I need badly to get back where I was and make an effort to log in every day again.


John McCain was invited onto Candy Crowley's last show on CNN to rebut President Obama's vow to do everything he could to close Guantanamo.
President Obama gave Candy Crowley an interview on her last CNN State of the Union show today. In the interview, he vowed to do everything he could to close Guantanamo despite opposition from Republicans and BlueDog Democrats in Congress.
McCain insisted he "always wanted to close Guantanamo, but I wanted to transfer those prisoners to maximum security prisons, prisons in the United States of America." He went on to claim that President Obama never had a plan for that.
McCain paid a lot of lip service to restoring habeas corpus to the Gitmo prisoners, but when the vote was taken, he voted against it.
But the real lie is the one where he claims the President had no plan to transfer prisoners. That's an outright lie. The plan was to repatriate some of them and to transfer some to prisons in the United States.
It was Congress who de-funded that. Not the President. In fact, as President Obama stated in his interview, one of the reasons to close Gitmo is the cost to maintain prisoners in that environment. But transfer to US prisons requires Congress, and Congress flatly refused, as they continue to do.
McCain continues to say he "wants" to close Gitmo and restore habeas corpus to the remaining prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, but his votes don't back his words, and he flat-out lied about what the White House did and didn't do.
I now have another nominee for my Sunday Show Lying Liar of the Week. There may yet still be more.
