Young Jeezy

Jay Jenkins (a.k.a) was born in Columbia, South Carolina. As an infant, Jenkins and his family relocated to Duncan Block, a neighborhood in Macon, Georgia (75 miles / 120 km south of Atlanta). At a young age, his parents separated. As a result, he was constantly sent to stay with his aunts and grandmothers when he was not being sent between his father and mother. During these years, he built a strong relationship with his older cousins, who were also drug dealers. They often shared their earnings with him, which attracted him to the drug dealer lifestyle. When Jenkins was 12 years old, he started selling drugs in his neighborhood. By 1994, he was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine, and served nine months in a boot camp in Savannah, Georgia. He eventually moved to West Atlanta’s 4th Ward between late 1999 and early 2000. Jeezy has described his childhood as “empty”.

THE UNITED NATIONS AS A PEACEMAKER

Charter Provisions on Peacemaking
While the UN Charter does not explicitly mention the organization's peacemaking role in ethnic or other types of internal conflicts , under the provisions of charter VI the security Council is empowered in situation that threaten international peace and security to call on all parties to settle their dispute by peaceful means and to recommend appropriate procedures and actual terms of a settlement. But is up to the parties themselves, acting voluntarily, to resolve their dispute peacefully in the light of the UN's recommendation. The UN's traditional peacemaking role as understood from the charter is therefore closer to facilitation than mediation.

UN Peacemaking During the Cold War
During the years of the cold war, the UN was caught in a dilemma. Although effective mediation was difficult to undertake as a result of the political divisions of the world and the virtual paralysis of the Security Council, at the same time the UN quickly realized that the permanent resolutions of conflicts can only be achieved through political negotiations; for that, leverage mediation was often required.
To overcome this dilemma, Secretary Dag Hammarskjold introduced the concept of preventive diplomacy. One common form preventive diplomacy took was the establishment of compression of inquiry or observation units to examine the facts of a dispute. Such fact-finding activities included interrogation, observation, area surveys, and inspection, as well as the analyses and the interpretation of this facts.
To be sure, preventive diplomacy by the UN was a positive step forward, but when it came to resolving ethnic conflicts, the UN's peacemaking efforts were miniscule. Cold war restrictions aside, both the General Assembly and the Security Council were "inappropriate arenas for the settlement of ethnic conflict because they are composed of states and exclude ethnic groups that do not represent sovereign states." Moreover, there was nothing in the charter that would allow the Security Council or the General Assembly to "relate to non-state agencies such as liberation movements, communal minorities, or political parties." Ethnic groups, therefore, found it difficult to communicate their views to the UN unless they could find a state sponsor willing to raise their case, as Turkey did for the Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus and Arab states did for the Palestine Liberation Organization(PLO)But most ethnic groups did not have such state sponsors, which usually resulted in UN inaction.
The UN's lack of enforcement capability further undermined its effectiveness as a peacemaker, especially in cases where UN members passed resolutions in support of an ethnonationalists movement. Finally, the General Assembly and Security Council's style of operation--the passing of resolutions--undermined the UN's facilitating role in two distinct ways. (1)the tendency of UN members passed to outvote their opponents did little to encourage adversaries to negotiate on the issues that divided them. (2)At times closely worded resolutions, instead of providing the UN a general framework for pursuing a peace settlement, actually restricted the organization's room to maneuver.

Has the UN Become a More Effective Peacemaker After the Cold War?
Between 1987 and 1991, the UN achieved a number of success in settling outstanding conflicts. The problem lies with the UN decision-making process that deprives the organization of dynamism and flexibility in pursuing mediation. Lack of credibility further decreases the leverage of the UN, hindering the bargaining process and diminishing the probability that the adversaries would accept the proposals put forward by the UN for settling the conflict. The erosion of credibility further hinders UN mediators from offering crucial "guarantees for implementing and observing an agreement."

Presidency

This year is elections and the candidates are, Hilliary Rodham Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama. This year people see the elections very differently from the other election years. The reason for this is because there is a woman and a African American as candidates, and this had never happened before in the history of the United States. The candidates are doing everything they can to win the elections.
This year was also the year the Dominican Republic voted for new president. Last week they announced that the old president, Leonerd Fernandez, had won the elections once again. This would be his third turn being president of the Dominican Republic. Almost no one in the Dominican Republic wanted him as president, but with the votes of the people of the United States he won.

GLOBAL WARMING

Examples of global exchange such as ozone depletion or global warming occur on a large scale. but what about serious environmental problems that occur in our own backyard? For example, one important urban environmental problem is chemical pollution. Until recently, people assumed that the environment can absorb any amount of pollution.

Lake Erie and other large lakes became polluted because of the assumption that they could absorb unlimited amount of industrials chemicals. Because of this incorrect assumption, pollution has often risen to a serious level. In a highly publicized example of pollution, a very large oil tanker ran aground off the coast of Alaska in 1989. Oil from the tanker heavily polluted 1,600 km(1000 mi) of coastline and injured or killed thousands of marine animals, such as the common scoter was one of the thousands of animals involve in the terrible accidents.

Despite costly and heroic cleanup efforts damage to local wildlife was extensive. This dramatic example is not an isolated occurrence, smaller oil spills and leaks that received little or no publicity account for more than 90 percent of all pollution from seepage. Many of the most disastrous incidents of pollution involve industrials chemicals that are toxic or carcinogenic(cancer-causing). Until recently, there has been relatively little regulation of the manufacture, transportation, storage, and destruction of such chemicals.

A particularly clear example of this problem occurred in Basel, Switzerland, in 1986.Fire fighters putting out a warehouse fire accidentally washed 27,000 kg(30 tons) of mercury and pesticides that were stored in the warehouse in the Rhine river. This poisons flowed from down the Rhine, through Germany and the Netherlands, and into the North Sea, killing fish and other aquatic animals and plants. Today the river is recovering, but its species diversity remains far lower than it was before the disaster.

Agricultural pollutants are among one of the major environmental pollutants in our society today. In many countries, modern agriculture introduces large amounts of chemicals into the global system. These chemicals include pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Industrialized countries like United States now attempt to carefully monitor the side effects of these chemicals. Unfortunately, large quantities of many toxic chemicals that are no longer manufactured still circulate the ecosystem. The issues of pesticide pollution is just beginning to gain attention in the world agricultural system.

For example, molecules of chlorinated hydrocarbons-a class of compounds that includes the pesticide DDT, chlordane, lindane, and dieldrin-brake down slowly in the environment.* They also accumulate in the fatty tissue of animals. As these molecules pass up the trophic levels of the food chain, they become increasingly concentrated. This process is called biological magnification.

The presence of DDT in birds causes thin fragile eggshells, which can break during incubation. Because of DDT use many predatory birds in the United States and elsewhere failed to reproduce, and their numbers dwindled. In 1972, the use of DDT was restricted in the United States, and threatened bird population slowly began to increase. However, chlorinated hydrocarbons, are still manufactured in the United States and exported to other countries, where their use continues.

In conclusion. in order for us to meets the needs of an increasingly crowded world, the use of chemicals is necessary. We must learn to use them as intelligently as possible. Doing so well produce capacity of the Earth. Failure is not a rational option.

Life Without You

Without your love I'm empty
No one can replace you.
No matter what we go through i still love you.
All the beatings;
Lectures;
Add up to something.I might be angry at re moment
but I know you love me,
I know you want what's best for me.
My respect for you is unconditional.
I promised myself that I will be successful then share it with you.
I can't wait to see that beautiful smile of your's.
I LOVE YOU MOMMY
And life without you I can't stand.

*PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT*

A rangy set of friends from Fall Out Boy to Lil Wayne, it was obvious from the start that Tyga was not your everyday rapper from Compton. After recording a mixtape and promoting it around the city, Tyga ran into Gym Class Heroes member Travis McCoy in the Flight Club L.A. sneaker shop. Their conversation went from shoes to rappers, and as Travis' group went from unknowns to MTV stars, he would always remember that talk and the scrappy rapper who so impressed him. Travis signed Tyga to his Bad Squad label and then invited him along when the punk-pop group Fall Out Boy came calling. Travis and Tyga would appear on the remix to Fall Out Boy's "Arms Race," which also featured Kanye West, Paul Wall, Skinhead Rob, Lupe Fiasco, and Lil Wayne. When the remix became a hit, Tyga found himself performing the track on MTV's Video Music Awards in 2007. He soon entered the studio to do some guest shots for his new friend Lil Wayne before shifting the focus to his solo career. His first single became the hooky "Coconut Juice."
