The Amor y Paz of Mike in Mexico Wiki: Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko̞ še̞ ˈma̠ʝo̞] in Mexico, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a morale boost for the Mexicans. Zaragoza died months after the battle due to illness. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders. More popularly celebrated in the United States than in Mexico, the date has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. These celebrations began in California, where they have been observed annually since 1863. The day gained nationwide popularity in the 1980s thanks especially to advertising campaigns by beer and wine companies. Today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on par with the Super Bowl. In Mexico, the commemoration of the battle continues to be mostly ceremonial, such as through military parades or battle reenactments. The city of Puebla marks the event with an arts festival, a festival of local cuisine, and re-enactments of the battle. Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken for Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16, commemorating the Cry of Dolores, which, in 1810, initiated the war of Mexican independence from Spain.

The MikesHope Essence of Mikeswill The current WA Resolution, Protecting Native Prairies And Grasslands has been posted on our off-site forums at: https://bnationstates.runboard.com/t84339 General Assembly Resolution At Vote Protecting Native Prairies And Grasslands A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry. Category: Environmental Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild The World Assembly, Recognizing the importance of high-quality habitats in the protection of ecosystems; Perceiving that tall grass prairies play an important ecological function by filtering pesticides, nutrients, and bacteria from agricultural runoff, as well as preventing soil erosion by establishing deep root systems; Noticing that tall grass prairies support a wide range of biodiversity, often including plant, insect, large mammal, and prominent keystone species that may not be present in other ecosystems; Noting that tall grass prairies are often desirable for conversion to agricultural purposes, due to high nutrient levels in the soil, moderate levels of rainfall, and a lack of trees; Lamenting that only a tiny fraction of tall grass prairies remain today; Observing that, in many WA member nations, the conversion of land for agriculture has severely decreased the abundance of tall grass prairies, leading to a reduction in biodiversity among pollinators; Troubled that a lack of biodiversity among pollinators may be detrimental to agriculture by creating, in many cases, an unstable 1 to 1 relationship between crop yield and a single pollinator species, potentially collapsing the agricultural industry of some nations, should the pollinator become extinct; and Concerned that failing to protect native prairies will lead to the extinction of several currently endangered species, many of which rely heavily on tall grass prairies; Hereby: Defines for the purposes of this resolution: ‘tall grass prairie’ as a biome featuring the dominance of tall grass species, averaging greater than 1.5 meters in height, moderate levels of annual rainfall, and the presence of periodic wildfires, with period between combustion exceeding 1 year, but not more than 20 years, to prevent the encroachment of saplings and invasive plant species; ‘pollinators’ as species that frequently spread pollen between the male and female components of a plant species, allowing said plants to fertilize the female ovules for reproduction; and ‘land development’ as any sapient activity which alters a landscape from its naturally occurring form and does not allow the landscape to recover to its naturally occurring form within a period of 5 years (e.g. does not include controlled burns); Tasks the World Assembly Science Program (WASP) with the following: researching the historical prevalence of tall grass prairies in all WA member nations; determining the impact that agriculture and land development has had on the decline of tall grass prairies and the loss of pollinators in all WA member nations; performing ecological surveys to assess the feasibility of restoring tall grass prairies in nations with significantly diminished tall grass prairie ranges; researching methods and creating guidelines for maintaining tall grass prairies in areas where periodic controlled burns have the potential to be ecologically damaging; communicating their findings with all WA member nations; and assisting member nations in conducting independent research into native tall grass prairies when adequate resources are lacking; Mandates that all member nations: determine areas where tall grass prairies currently exist within their borders; conduct environmental impact studies to determine the effect of any land development within 5 kilometers of areas recognized as containing tall grass prairies; share raw data on all research pertaining to tall grass prairies with the WASP; maintain current tall grass prairies by: performing periodic controlled burns when it is ecologically in the best interest of the prairie and the surrounding area and unlikely to lead to the development of a wildfire, or else following the guidance set forth by the WASP in clause 2d; preventing land development for any purpose in tall grass prairies; preventing human activities that have been found to be detrimental to the ecosystem, according to clause 3b, in the areas surrounding tall grass prairies; and record all native multicellular species found to exist within a tall grass prairie, and collect seed samples from all native prairie plants; and Strongly Recommends that member nations: work to restore and maintain tall grass prairies in all ecologically feasible areas, as determined by the findings of the WASP; create economic incentives for private entities to restore and maintain tall grass prairies when direct government action is infeasible; and research methods of reducing land use and pollution associated with agriculture.

The MikesHope Essence of Mikeswill The Mexicans speak a better Spanish than the Spaniards (in my experiences in both countries). There is a tendency for people to get lazy in their own speech and the Spanish in the north seem to drop the last syllable of words. The Andalusians in the south speak as if they have bread in their mouths. The use of the term Castilian to refer to modern Spanish is redundant. When writers such as Cervantes or Dante or Shakespere become the bastion of a country's language it becomes the norm. Cervantes wrote in what we call Castilian, which we now call Spanish and was the dialect which dominated the Americas. Landover Baptist Church, The Third Lunar Confederation, and West marastan |

The MikesHope Essence of Mikeswill The current WA Resolution, Protecting Convicted Voters has been posted on our off-site forums at: https://bnationstates.runboard.com/t84341 General Assembly Resolution At Vote Protecting Convicted Voters A resolution to increase democratic freedoms. Category: Furtherment of Democracy Strength: Mild Believing that those member states which choose to hold democratic elections should refrain from making any person ineligible to take part in those elections simply due to their circumstances, the General Assembly hereby: requires members to ensure that no person within their jurisdiction is prevented (or otherwise unduly restricted) from voting in a election for public office simply because they currently are being, or have previously been, punished for a crime, further requires prisons in member states to protect their prisoners from being pressured to vote for or against any candidate or slate of candidates, or to refrain from voting, by any entity in all elections for public office, mandates that those members which choose to hold elections for public office, but require those voting at said elections to be physically present at a polling station in order to vote, provide adequate polling stations at prisons as to allow all eligible prisoners to vote, and clarifies that Article a does not mandate that elections for public office be organised in any member state.
