and not anyone of you two is named bonifacia?

The United States had staunchly opposed the Palestinian effort. Speaking after the vote, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice called it an “unfortunate and counterproductive” move that “places further obstacles in the path to peace.”

“The backers in today’s resolution say they seek a functioning, independent Palestinian state,” Rice said. “So do we. But we have long been clear that the only way to establish such a Palestinian state and resolve all permanent status issues is through the crucial, if painful, direct negotiations between the parties.”

Rice said the U.S. would “oppose every effort that seeks to de-legitimize Israel or undermine its security.”

“This resolution will not advance peace, this resolution will not change the situation on the ground,” Prosor told the General Assembly.

Prosor said he’s never heard Abbas use the phrase “two states for two people,” because “the Palestinian leadership has never accepted a Jewish state for the Jewish people,” garnering some applause.

Prosor said Gaza has become “a haven for terrorists and an ammunition dumping ground” for Israel’s enemies in Iran.

“Israel remains committed for peace but we will not establish another Iranian terror base in the heart of our country,” he said.



Palestinians celebrate their new UN status

Calling Israel guilty of a “racist, colonial occupation,” Abbas said the Palestinians’ push in the U.N. was not “terrorism” but a “serious attempt to achieve peace” and that “the rope of patience is shortening.”

“We do not come here seeking to de-legitimize a state established here years ago, and that is Israel,” Abbas said. “[We come here to] affirm the legitimacy of a state that must now achieve its independence and that is Palestine.”

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Ron Prosor responded that the only way to achieve peace is through direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah, not on the voting floor of the United Nations in New York. He said the resolution would make a negotiated settlement less likely.

Before the vote, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas â€" who was greeted with a partial standing ovation â€" told the international body that this month’s week-long conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza was proof their statehood is essential.

“The Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip has confirmed once again the urgent and pressing need to end the Israeli occupation, and for our people to gain their freedom and independence,” Abbas said.

The Israeli delegation watches the U.N. tally board as members vote to upgrade the Palestinians' status. Rabbi Michael Lerner explains why Israel should be welcoming the move.

The Palestinian resolution had been widely expected to succeed. The upgraded status means the Palestinian Authority is still unable to introduce resolutions to the General Assembly and must continue to partner with a sympathetic member state to initiate any resolutions. However, officials believe that even as a nonmember state, the Palestinians could join such international bodies as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Criminal Court.

U.N. Grants Palestinians Historic Statehood Recognition Status

by Madeleine Morgenstern
November 29, 2012

The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to grant the Palestinians nonmember observer state status, a major victory in their quest for independent international recognition.

The final vote count was 138-9, with 41 abstentions. The United States and Israel voted against the resolution, along with Canada, the Czech Republic, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Panama.

The vote does not create a Palestinian state, only upgrades the Palestinian Authority’s status within the U.N., putting it on par with the Vatican â€" the only other entity with nonmember observer state status.

Samarra archaeological city -- Samarra, Iraq


Dating from the seventh century, the ancient city of Samarra was once a powerful Islamic capital city that ruled an empire stretching from Tunisia to Central Asia.

Architectural and artistic innovations developed there spread to the other regions of the Islamic world and beyond. The ninth-century Great Mosque and its spiral minaret are among the most remarkable architectural monuments at the site, 80% of which remain to be excavated.

Why it is in danger: UNESCO says the security situation following the Iraq War and a lack of protection of the site have put Samarra at risk.

Maritime Mercantile City -- Liverpool, UK


Six areas in Liverpool's historic center bear witness to the development of what was one of the world's major trading centers during the 18th and 19th centuries. Liverpool played an important role in the growth of the British Empire and became the major port for the mass movement of people from northern Europe to America.

Why it is in danger: UNESCO says a £5.5 billion redevelopment plan for the waterfront, involving the construction of skyscrapers, could "irreversibly damage" historic docklands.

Decani Monastery and other medieval monuments -- Kosovo


The monuments are a series of churches from the 13th and 14th century, featuring frescoes and paintings in the Byzantine-Romanesque style. This distinctive style of wall painting was developed in the Balkans and played an important role in subsequent Balkan art.

Why it is in danger: UNESCO says a lack of legal protection has allowed the monuments to deteriorate.

Bagrati Cathedral -- Kutaisi, Georgia


Bagrati Cathedral was completed in the early 11th century but was partly destroyed in 1691. The Gelati Monastery, whose main buildings were constructed between the 12th and 17th centuries, is a well-preserved complex, with wonderful mosaics and wall paintings. The cathedral and monastery illustrate the flowering of medieval architecture in Georgia.

Why it is in danger: According to UNESCO, a reconstruction project could undermine the authenticity and integrity of the site.

Bam citadel and historical sites -- Bam, Iran


The origins of the desert city of Bam can be traced back to the sixth to fourth centuries BC. Its heyday was from the seventh to 11th centuries, when it was at the crossroads of important trade routes and known for the production of silk and cotton garments.

Its huge citadel, Arg-e Bam, was built using mud layers and sun-dried mud bricks and includes vaulted and domed structures.

Why it is in danger: An earthquake in 2003 caused great damage to the site.

Historic town of Zabid -- Zabid, Yemen


The fortified coastal town of Zabid is an outstanding archaeological and historical site. It was the capital of Yemen from the 13th to the 15th century and it played an important role in the Arab and Muslim world for centuries because of its Islamic university.

Why it is in danger: UNESCO says there has been a serious deterioration in the city's heritage, with many houses replaced by concrete buildings and its ancient souk in a deteriorating state.

Tombs of Buganda Kings -- Kasubi, Uganda


The star attraction of the tombs site is the former palace of the rulers of Uganda's Buganda kingdom, built in 1882. Four royal tombs now lie within the main building, which is an architectural wonder made from organic materials -- principally wood, thatch, reed, wattle and daub.

Why it is in danger: Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, the main tomb structure at the site, was almost completely destroyed by fire in 2010 and fire remains a threat.

Circle of Timbuktu -- Timbuktu, Mali


Timbuktu was an intellectual and spiritual capital and a center for the propagation of Islam throughout Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Its three great mosques, Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, recall Timbuktu's golden age.

Although continuously restored, these monuments are today under threat from desertification.

Why it is in danger: Timbuktu was placed on UNESCO's list of endangered World Heritage Sites in June 2012 after Islamist group Ansar Dine destroyed tombs that were shrines to Muslim saints.

An Ansar Dine spokesman said that all shrines in the city, including the remaining World Heritage sites, would be destroyed because the group considered them to be examples of idolatry.

Coro and its Port -- Coro, Venezuela


Founded in 1527, the town of Coro dates back to the earliest years of Spanish colonization of South America's Caribbean coast. The town reached its peak in the late 18th and early 19th century and still consists of some 600 historic buildings. With its buildings made from earth, rather than stone, Coro is the only surviving example of a rich fusion of local building traditions with Spanish and Dutch architectural techniques.

These structures stretch across the country's northern and western seaboards and are particularly fortified in and around port cities such as Rotterdam and The Hague.

Why it is in danger: Heavy rain in 2004 and 2005 damaged a great number of structures. It was added to the endangered list because UNESCO feared planned construction works could have considerable impact on the site.

UNESCO heritage sites across the globe

CNN
September 19, 2012

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention -- an international treaty adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to preserve the world's cultural and natural heritage sites.

UNESCO's World Heritage in Danger currently lists 38 sites under threat. [The following are the] 10 significant architectural sites in peril.

Today, my 8-year-old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole entire world!” I smiled and sarcastically replied, “How do you know that? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My son squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.” (MMT, http://www.marcandangel.com/)

Today, my son turned 7 and I turned 23.  Yes, I had him on the day I turned 16.  The choices I made when I was a teenager were foolish, and sometimes I get worried I’m bringing my son up wrong.  But today I took him to the park to celebrate our birthdays.  He played for hours with a girl who has burn scars that cover most of her face.  When my son took a break to eat, he pointed to her and said, “She’s so pretty and cool!”  Which left me thinking, “I must be doing something right as a mom.” (MMT, http://www.marcandangel.com/)

10. Tomatoes cure acne



Tomatoes have a lot of vitamins C and A, antioxidants and acidic content, so they can be used to treat a variety of minor skin ailments. This cure is especially good for oily skin. Mash one small tomato into a pulp, then spread the pulp on your face and let it sit for one hour. Wash it off with tepid water and pat dry. Repeat once a day for a week.

9. Olives and lemons cure sea sickness



Motion sickness causes excess saliva, which can make you queasy. Eating olives or sucking on a lemon at the first signs of sea sickness can help ease nausea thanks to the tannins contained in these items.

8. Vodka cures stinky feet



Wipe your feet with a vodka-soaked rag to eliminate foot odor. Vodka contains alcohol, an antiseptic that is very drying. Alcohol destroys odor-causing fungus and bacteria and dries out the moisture that lets these organisms grow.

7. Biting on a pencil cures headaches



Tension headaches can often arise from unconsciously clenching your jaw. Gently holding a pencil between your teeth forces your jaw muscles to relax, easing your headache.

6. Duct tape cures warts



Duct tape: Is there anything it can't do? Some people would go to great lengths to have warts removed. Typically, painful options like cryotherapy, acid preparations, laser therapy, heat, and tape occlusion are the treatment of choice, but even cryotherapy (burning the wart off with liquid nitrogen) has only a 60% success rate. Comparably, the painless practice of applying a small piece of duct tape seems to provide about an 85% success rate.

Simply apply a small piece of duct tape to the wart and leave it on for a week. Then wash the area and use a pumice stone to scour the affected area, and reapply the tape for another week. Repeat until the wart is gone.

5. Chewing peppermint or cinnamon gum eases commuting stress



Studies have shown that chewing peppermint or cinnamon gum increases awareness and reduces fatigue by as much as 20%. Test subjects reported 25% less frustration and 30% increased alertness. The drive also seemed 30% shorter for those who chewed the gum, versus those who did not.

4. Sugar stops the hiccups



Hiccups are annoying, but now you can stop them within one minute simply by swallowing a teaspoon full of dry sugar. Experts believe that the sudden sweetness on the tongue overloads the nerve endings in the mouth and stops the hiccup spasm.

3. Olive oil cures Eczema



Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, so it's a great skin moisturizer. Apply extra virgin, unrefined olive oil to your skin after showering, while your skin is still damp. The olive oil seals in moisture and helps soothe painful Eczema flair-ups.

wa ko say and wa ko know, sorry.  maybe we can ask lorenz tomorrow.  we can be sure he hasn't tried this.

congratulations gyod kay klaro nga swerte ka sa imong naparis.  swerte pod siya kay ang imong tuyo dili kwarta.  may you and your family remain blessed. 

2. Yogurt cures bad breath



Studies have shown that live bacteria in sugar free yogurt can suppress levels of bad breath-causing bacteria. If the bad bacteria can't survive, your breath smells sweeter.

Posted by Reddit user "womp0982" to the r/pics subreddit yesterday, an image shows a typed note that was left on a truck. The message reads:

You do not know me but I saw that you needed some tires for your truck and I wanted to do something nice for a stranger because one day a stranger did something nice for me. The receipt is in the envelope and all you have to do is go by Warehouse Tire on 3rd Street and ask for Steven Hodges and they will be put on for free. All I ask is that one day you do something nice for a complete stranger.

The picture, which was viewed more than 760,000 times on image sharing site Imgur, also shows a bit of the receipt.

another reason: wa koy nahuman, kinsa man tawong pinoya ang molingi nako nga gusto man pod ug pinoy nga maminyo sa makaasenso pod nila?

of course, these reasons are for those who really harbor marrying a foreigner as an "ambition" as differentiated from those who never thought of marrying a foreigner but ended up marrying one anyway.

A photograph of the iceberg that sank the Titanic is to be auctioned in America next month - thought to be one of the only images of the iceberg in existence.

No images taken from Titanic's deck survived the collision, which caused the loss of 1,502 lives.

The picture was taken by the captain of a different steam ship, the S.S. Etonian, two days before the fatal collision that sank the Titanic.

It was photographed in the correct area, and matches descriptions and sketches of the fatal iceberg.

A caption by Captain W F Wood identifies it as the 'blueberg' - tinted blue by the sun's rays - that sank the Titanic in three hours.
