UNITED NATIONS http://www.redwingsauthority.com/ , Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- All 193 UN member states Sunday agreed to an ambitious global agenda which features 17 new sustainable development goals that aim, by 2030, to eradicate extreme poverty, promote prosperity and people's well-being, and protect the environment, paving the way for a successful UN summit in September.


The agreed-upon draft plan [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-xavier-ouellet-red-wings-jersey/... , also known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," is expected to be officially adopted at the summit, which will attract more than 150 world leaders at the UN Headquarters in New York.


The weekend agreement came at the end of a negotiating process that has spanned more than two years and involved both developed and developing countries, representing the global aspiration for common development on the basis of win-win cooperation.


The participants in the negotiation process were all UN member countries with varying national conditions and different development targets, so naturally, they viewed the same agenda from different perspectives.


China for its part has attended the negotiations in a constructive manner [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-vladimir-konstantinov-red-wings-... , and played a crucial role in bridging the gap and promoting unity among participating countries, laying a solid foundation for the hard-won agreement.


Meanwhile, the agreement also showcases the joint efforts of the international community to underline the importance of protecting the environment while promoting economic advancement and social progress.


The new deal also builds on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight anti-poverty targets to be reached by the end of this year, which helped more than 700 million people across the world to escape poverty over the past 15 years. The MDGs deal with a variety of issues such as hunger, disease [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-tyler-bertuzzi-red-wings-jersey/... , gender inequality, and access to water and sanitation by 2015.


At the same time, the lessons arising from the MDGs' implementation are very helpful as the United Nations has been leading the international community in hammering out the consensus document.


This year is the Year of Development, and it also marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Therefore, people worldwide have good reason to have high expectations for the September summit, which is hoped to result in a blueprint for international development in the next 15 years.


Today's world is far from being tranquil. Regional turbulence and conflicts rear their ugly heads from time to time [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-trevor-daley-red-wings-jersey/]h... , global economic recovery remains a daunting task, and various new challenges keep cropping up.


Fortunately, the international community has recognized the importance of rejecting conflict, backwardness and confrontation in favor of peace, development and cooperation.


In this sense, it is hoped that the new deal will help renew the global commitment to development [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-tomas-tatar-red-wings-jersey/]ht... , yield ambitious and tangible results, and help forge a future-oriented partnership at the upcoming UN summit.


As NFL training camps kick into high gear, the Philadelphia Eagles are getting more attention than usual. One reason is for that attention is the team's addition of media sensation Tim Tebow as a fourth-string quarterback.


Another reason is that coach Chip Kelly has been accused of being a racist.


It all started in March, when Kelly traded LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills. Professional sports trades are fairly common, but McCoy didn't take his very well. "You see how fast [Kelly] got rid of all the good players," he said -afterwards. "Especially the good black -players. There's a reason for that."


After creating an initial -media flurry [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-terry-sawchuk-red-wings-jersey/]... , the issue seemed to die down until August 1, when Kelly traded Brandon Boykin to the Pittsburgh -Steelers. Boykin then sent a text message to media outlet Comcast SportsNet claiming that Kelly "is uncomfortable around grown men of our culture."


It's irresponsible to imply that Kelly is a racist. It's -downright ludicrous to suggest that he would avoid drafting or playing black players. First of all, nearly 70 percent of the NFL's players are black. Any coach who couldn't work with black players would be (justifiably) fired after about 10 minutes.


And at the risk of letting facts get in the way of a good story, Kelly replaced McCoy at running back with DeMarco Murray, who also happens to be black. In April's NFL draft, -Kelly selected a total of six -players - five of whom are black.


Despite being wrong [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-ted-lindsay-red-wings-jersey/]ht... , -McCoy and Boykin have hit upon a brilliant strategy given today's political climate in the US. Slapping the suffixes "-ism" or "-phobia" on the end of any word guarantees the speaker 15 minutes of fame. Say what you will about Americans, but one thing they know is victimization.


Is Kelly a control freak? Probably. But so are 99 percent of the football coaches in the US, from Pop Warner leagues all the way to the NFL. That fact alone certainly doesn't make Kelly - or any other coach - guilty of racism.


People today nonetheless retain arguing more than what sort of service is greater, a cable or maybe a satellite Television connection? Really, it really is incredible that this debate has dragged on for so extended now: it is been years since the winner has been apparent to me, and I just do not comprehend how so many persons have failed to notice the answer [url=http://www.redwingsauthority.com/authentic-steve-yzerman-red-wings-jersey/]... , as well. The reality is that, all things thought to be, a satellite Television subscription blows a cable subscription out of the water, in just about each and every detail. From programming selections to large definition material for the excellent of their customer support, cable has been standing still while satellite has been careening into the long term.


It’s no surprise that satellite has far more channels than cable: that’s genuinely the one particular detail that everyone does appear to understand. But many men and women erron.
