UNITED NATIONS Wholesale Boston Bruins Jerseys , April 1 (Xinhua) -- The UN General Assembly on Friday adopted a resolution to proclaim a UN Decade of Action on Nutrition that will run from 2016 to 2025.


The resolution calls upon the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to lead the implementation of the Decade of Action on Nutrition in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and involving coordination mechanisms such as the United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN) and multi-stakeholder platforms such as the Committee on World Food Security (CFS).


Introducing the resolution Wholesale Anaheim Ducks Jerseys , which was co-sponsored by 30 UN member states, Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Brazil's permanent representative to the United Nations Wholesale Arizona Coyotes Jerseys , said, ""We consider the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition a great opportunity to bring together initiatives and efforts to eradicate hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition, crucial elements of the 2030 Agenda.""


""We encourage UN agencies Cheap Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys , Member States, civil society and private sector to join in this collective effort. We look forward to engage in this process, sharing information on our national policies and learning from other experiences Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ,"" Patriota said.


The General Assembly resolution also endorses the Rome Declaration on Nutrition and the Framework for Action adopted during the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) co-hosted by FAO and WHO in November 2014.


FAO said in a press release that the UN agency welcomed the General Assembly's decision, calling it a major step toward mobilising action around reducing hunger and improving nutrition around the world.


Today, nearly 800 million people remain chronically undernourished and over 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Meanwhile some 159 million children under five years of age are stunted -- meaning they are too short for their age.


Approximately 50 million children in the same age bracket are wasted -- meaning they have low weight for their height. Another 1.9 billion people are overweight -- 600 million of these are obese. And prevalence of people who are overweight or obese is increasing in nearly all countries.


""Today's resolution recognises the need to eradicate hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition worldwide Cheap Washington Capitals Jerseys ,"" FAO said. ""The Decade of Action on Nutrition will provide an umbrella for a wide group of actors to work together to address these and other pressing nutrition issues.""


""This resolution places nutrition at the heart of sustainable development and recognizes improving food security and nutrition are essential to achieving the entire 2030 Agenda,"" FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva said.


""Children can't fully reap the benefits of schooling if they don't get the nutrients they need; and emerging economies won't reach their full potential if their workers are chronically tired because their diets are unbalanced,"" he said. ""That's why we welcome the Decade of Action on Nutrition and look forward to helping make it a success.""

" Summer’s almost here which means fun in the sun. It’ll be time to bring out the surfboards and head to the beach. But for those not in the know yet eager to see what the fuss about surfing’s all about Cheap Vancouver Canucks Jerseys , it’s necessary to get a quick lesson in surfboards.

The reason for different types of surfboards is because there are different types of surfers and waves. Some are content with paddling while others love the rush of surfing over tricky sections of waves. Some boards are also more suited to beginners.

Longboard: This is a traditional board and one of the oldest. As the name implies, it’s long and can touch lengths of 12 feet. It’s also a lot wider and thicker which gives it plenty of stability so beginners find it easier to master.

The extra volume means it’s easy to paddle and catch waves. In the right hands, surfing becomes very fluid. Beginners should start with this board and move on to others once mastered.

Shortboard: Where a longboard is easy to surf Cheap Toronto Maple Leafs Jerseys , a shortboard is used only by advanced surfers. Length doesn’t usually exceed 7 feet. It’s distinguishable by its sharp nose and rounded square tail. Unlike the longboard which is heavier this is light to allow for quick changes in movement especially when surfing difficult areas of waves.

Fish: The fish surfboard is shorter than a shortboard, has a swallow tail and is wider. It’s great for small to medium waves where it maintains speed and allows surfers to paddle well. It’s a misconception that the fish is an easy board for beginners to ride but it isn’t true. It’s best for more advanced surfers as the higher speed makes it difficult to handle.

Funboard: The funboard shares similarities with the longboard in terms of length and ease of learning. It’s popular with beginners where standing up, turning and catching waves is simpler. If you love the lighter weight compared to that of a longboard Cheap Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys , choose this.

Gun: Designed for big waves, the gun is normally used by more experienced surfers because although it’s longer than a shortboard which appear to make it easier to ride, catching fast-moving waves is not simpler. Big drops and handling high speeds are also to be expected so it’s not advisable starting out with guns.

Hybrid: The hybrid doesn’t follow one design; it borrows styles from different types of boards. It may have the nose and length of a shortboardand the tail of a fish to increase stability. Incidentally Cheap St. Louis Blues Jerseys , this combination is the most popular. If it appeals to you, try it out once you’re comfortable on a longboard.
