Unvanquished: A U.S.-U.N. SagaFor years the United States has treated the United Nations as an extension of its own foreign policy, while other member states especially smaller, less influential countries have looked to the United Nations to represent their collective interests. This conflict escalated in the fall of 1996, when the United States unilaterally decided to deny Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali a second term. In this book Boutros Ghali argues that U. S. policy

For years the United States has treated the United Nations as an extension of its own foreign policy, while other member states--especially smaller, less influential countries--have looked to the United Nations to represent their collective interests. This conflict escalated in the fall of 1996, when the United States unilaterally decided to deny Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali a second term.
In this book Boutros-Ghali argues that U.S. policy toward the United Nations threatens the fragile fabric of the international organization. By selectively consulting the Security Council, the United States has frequently condemned the United Nations to the status of scapegoat in international affairs, notably during peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, Somalia, and Rwanda. Meanwhile, the United Nations's financial crisis persists as the United States fails to pay its bills while seeking to further increase its already considerable influence within the organization.
In October 1995 President Clinton lavishly praised Boutros-Ghali for his "outstanding leadership," and thanked him for his "vision." Yet, a mere four months later, the Clinton administration decided that Boutros-Ghali would have to go. What happened in that short time to convince the United States that the secretary-general was now a liability? United States domestic electoral politics were decisive: While campaigning for the primaries, Bob Dole was scoring heavily by repeatedly ridiculing Boutros-Ghali. To neutralize Dole's challenge, Clinton denied the controversial secretary-general a second term, vetoing his reelection in the Security Council despite unanimous support from its other members.
Boutros-Ghali reveals the dramatic conflict and the personalities involved and considers the future of the United Nations in light of American domination.

So Far So Great
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Super excited to add this product into my hair care regimen. The batana oil has a mild but pleasant smell. The oil is more of a paste so I don’t have to use much. On days when I layer products, I like to oil my scalp and hair strands and apply the batana oil to my ends as a sealant. I also apply it to my hairline and scalp sometimes. So far it has made my hair feel and look moisturizer, soft and fuller. I’m very excited to see the positive effects that it has long term. I was encouraged to apply the product from the plethora of positive reviews. And the fact that batana oil is proven to be great for hair health.

Moisturizer type 4 hair
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This oil provided my type 4 hair a lot of moisture. The texture of this product is moist. It worked for me when I needed the extra moisture to pull back my hair or to stretch my hair prior to twisting or braiding. I used it about 3 times a week. I’ve had it a months and I still have almost 1/2 a jar left. If you are looking for shine, this one provided shine but only after I brushed it. Overtime it helped my hair be easier to work with. The smell is okay - nothing overbearing that interfered with my own perfume. Look at the picture and you can see that it came sealed very well. Buy it and see for yourself how great it is.

Very good, helps with pcos acne and dark spots
I have pcos, so my acne and dark marks from acne can get pretty severe, in one use there was a visible change. It doesn't have an intense fragrance. It doesn't make my skin feel heavy, sticky, or greasy. My skin feels healthier and holds moisture better. It has a good amount of product in each container. I'd say its definitely got a good amount of value for the money.
