Kazakhstan reiterates anti-terrorism commitment with new code of conduct
United Nations, Sep 28 (EFE) .- Kazakh Foreign Minister Kairat Abdrakhmanov addressed the 73rd UN General Assembly in Friday to stress Kazakhstan’s commitment to fight international terrorism and to present a new code of conduct signed by more than 70 countries and "open to signing by other states."
On the fourth day of the United Nations Assembly, Abdrakhmanov presented a new "Code of Conduct to Achieve a World Free of Terrorism" that which "invites all countries to coordinate closely in the fight against this evil", a document to which 70 states have already joined, he explained.
"We invite all of you to show your good will in the fight against this disastrous phenomenon," Abdrakhmanov told representatives of nearly 200 countries.
Kazakhstan has ratified 16 of the 19 UN instruments to combat terrorism, with measures taken for early accession to the remaining three treaties.
"A stronger global leadership in the fight against terrorism remains crucial, we must do more to address the roots of radicalization using the best practices and relevant instruments of the UN," said Abdrakhmanov.
The Kazakh minister also reported that his country is actively working "within the framework of the Joint Action Plan to Implement the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (GCTS) in Central Asia."
Abdrakhmanov recalled that, in his speech before the General Assembly in 2015, the president of his country already expressed his desire to undertake several initiatives against terrorism.
He also said that this Assembly comes when "millions of people live under the shadow of frightful wars, as in Syria, Yemen and many other corners of the globe."
"Kazakhstan believes that war can never be a lasting solution to any problem, based on this conviction, we share the belief that the solution to the current crisis in Syria is Syria-led and inclusive politics," said the Kazakh foreign minister. . EFE

Trippier joins Atletico on 3-year deal from Tottenham
Madrid, Jul 18 (EFE).- Atletico Madrid presented its two latest summer signings Thursday, Englishman Kieran Trippier, who says his priority is to learn Spanish, and Spain defender Mario Hermoso, whose move to the club was only officially announced earlier in the day.
First to take to the stage for the press presentation at the club's Wanda Metropolitano, a gleaming stadium on the outskirts of the Spanish capital, was Trippier, 28, a right-back arriving from Tottenham Hotspur.
The last time he played competitively at the Wanda stadium was on June 1 for the all-English Champions League final between Spurs and Liverpool, which the London side went on to lose 2-0.
Off the pitch, the Bury-born defender said his top priority was to learn Spanish and integrate himself in the local culture, not only to help him and his family acclimatize to life in Madrid but to help him gel with his teammates and new boss.
Tripper was presented with the number 23 shirt.
Following him at the conference was Hermoso, the club's newest face fresh from Espanyol on a five-year deal.

From the shocking Yulin dog meat festival to eating an egg boiled in urine here are the strange traditions people still prise in China \r

7. Chinese Ghost Towns\r
It almost seems like a new Chinese tradition to build extremely large cities but with no one in them and see what happens later on. Whether its to house future residents or just to prove they have the resources to do it, Chinas ghost towns are some of the most unbelievable. Its believed that Chinas urban cities will contain about 70% of its population in about 15 years. Chinas most well known Kangbashi was completely lifeless despite its abandoned high rise apartments, large freeways and everything a modern city could desire. But just recently people starting moving here, and despite the surplus of living spaces, China has come up with the a completely new urban strategy. Build the city first; then let the people fill in. Although it might seem like strange ghost towns now, in the future they could be one of the worlds most advanced cities in the world.\r
\r
6. Ant Eating Therapy\r
While ants might be those tiny, creepy insects that always seem to crawling through your house, the Chinese believe that eating ants can cure diseases and relieve pain. Researchers suspect that ants could help treat arthritis and hepatitis but no definitive explanations has been given. In this photo you can see a group of people getting some therapy but most likely not the kind they need.\r
\r
5. Footbinding\r
Foot-binding is the painful process of wearing extremely tight shoes at a young age to prevent any further growth. The Chinese most commonly priced this and it wasnt until the early 1900s when it began to lose popularity. Women in the country found it to be the only way to keep their feet from becoming too large. Some cases are just mind boggling when the size of a shoe is only 3 inches. In severe cases, women would lose complete circulation to their toes and they would have to be amputated! Not to mention all the falls that took place trying to walk like that! But dont judge, wearing high heels in our culture is just as ridiculous, if you think about! Here in this photo we see the difference between normal, and bound feet.\r
\r
4. Burping Your Appreciation\r
While some cultures find it rude to burp at a dinner table, its almost rude in China not to burp! Many of us are taught not to do this from a young age. Burping is seen as a sign of appreciation to the chef and that you enjoyed your meal. When their eating soup, a loud slurping noise is also considered polite. So if someone is giving you a hard time about this, next time you can say that its completely fine in China. Compliments to the chef!\r
\r
3. Face Masks\r
If you ever head to a beach some day in China, dont be too startled if you see someone wearing one of these. While people in the US usually go to the beach in order to get a tan, people in China try to avoid it as much as possible. Since pale skin is often sought after in Asian countries, something called a face-kini is a relatively new tradition that keeps people from catching too many rays. The face-kini is also been reported as something that will protect them from pesky jellyfish sting. The inventor Zhang Shifan, reported that he never could have imagined its popularity would reach this level. \r
\r
2. Yulin Dog Meat Festival\r
While not all Chinese people eat dogs, it is more common in southern provinces. The city of Yulin holds a controversial festival each year in June despite global outrage. Thousand of dogs are slaughtered and some are served restaurants while others in the streets. China doesnt have any large scale dog-breeding farms unlike other countries where this meat is consumed. As a result, many local dogs are stolen from their owners illegally. Also these animals are shipped there with unknown origins. The inhabitants of this town claim it to be a tradition and supporters claim that its no different than killing cows, chickens or other farm animals. While quite a few countries in Asia have banned consumption of dogs, China is not one of them. As you see in this photo, many dogs are stored in cramped cages waiting for what will happen next.\r
\r
1.Boy Urine Egg\r
Its a traditional food in Eastern China to eat eggs that boiled in the urine of boys urine. In the city of Dongyang, buckets of urine are collected in order to cook this cultural delicacy. Theres no explanation exly why it has to be urine from a boy, but its just always been like that. Some claim that eating them will prevent them from getting “heat stroke”. It takes about an entire day in order to prepare these just right and each one will be sold as a cheap snack for no more than a quarter. Chinese mVer video "12 Weirdest Chinese Traditions"

Familys from all over visit Disney, but do they know Disney has many hidden secrets? These are 13 shocking Disney park Secrets. \r

Subscribe for weekly wacky videos and learn interesting fs about the world with awesome top 10 lists and other amazing videos.\r
\r
7 - Animal Kingdom – At one point the famous Animal Kingdom was supposed to include a separate attrion within the attrion called “Beastly Kingdom.” This would be dedicated to mythical creatures and probably include some animatronics. Even though that idea never made its way to fruition there is a subtle nod to the project on the sign for Animal Kingdom. In the middle of a rhino and elephant you can see the silhouette of a dragon. We met youve never noticed THAT before!\r
\r
6 - Smellitizers – If youve ever visited a Disney park and noticed a certain smell in a certain place, well thats no accident. Smellitizers are devices that can be found in the tunnels below the parks and are located throughout Disney parks to emit certain smells in certain areas. Some of the most obvious smells are the smell of fresh baked cookies and vanilla on Main Street, fresh citrus on the Soarin ride, and a salty smell on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Some of the less obvious, but definitely noteworthy smells are the smell of honey on Poohs adventures and burning wood on Spaceship Earth.\r
\r
5 - Cinderellas castle – Cinderellas castle may be the most well-known landmark in all of Disney parks. Everyone knows what it looks like and everyone knows where its located. What not many people know is that hidden inside the castle is a private guest suite, reserved for contest winners only. You cannot book this suite and it is given to families for use about once every two weeks. The suite has only been used approximately 600 times. Not only do you get a car to drop you at the Magic Kingdom, but you also get a personal guide to accompany you around the park ing as a personal FASTpass for rides and giving you all the information about the park you could ever want. Inside the suite are Disney charer relics, such as Cinderellas glass slipper and Captain Hooks telescope, as well as a television disguised as a mirror that you use a magic wand to turn on.\r
\r
4 - The Grey Stuff – A line from the song “Be Our Guest” in theBeauty and the Beast has the Lumiere sing “Try the grey stuff, its delicious – dont believe us, ask the dishes!” Now you can try the grey stuff too! When dining at the Be Our Guest restaurant at Disney World, you can order the grey stuff, which is some sort of cookies and cream grey mousse. Originally not located on the menu, its now a featured dessert and you should really do yourself a favor and try it, because Lumiere was not lying – it is delicious!\r
\r
3 - Tom Sawyer Island – This ride, located at Disney World, is a boat ride that takes you over to an island with a Tom Sawyer theme. Its a very quiet, some would say boring ride. Boring, until you realize that you could walk away with a pretty awesome prize. The island supposedly has paintbrushes hidden all over the place, to recreate Tom Sawyers chore to whitewash his Aunt Pollys fence. If youre lucky enough to find a paintbrush, bring it over to your boat driver and theyll reward you with a fastpass to any one ride in the park. Dont go crazy looking for all the brushes, though. Its only good for one brush per family. \r
\r
2 - Club 33 – Club 33 is one of the cooler secrets within Disneyland. Its located in the middle of New Orleans Square and is recognized only by a plate attached to the building that says “33.” To be allowed entry into the club, you must be a member, and to become a member you need to get on a waitlist that is estimated to be years long and its roughly $25,000 to join plus $10,000 in yearly dues. Some of the perks to the club, is –obviously, access to the club itself – alcoholic beverages, since the park is for the most park dry except for certain areas, early park admission, valet parking at the resorts and access to private events held at the park. \r
\r
1 - Walts Apartment – When Walt Disney was designing and constructing Disneyland he wanted to build a special apartment hidden from the chaos of the park, but still within the park. He built the apartment above the Main Street Firehouse. The Disney family would spend time in the apartment, entertaining guests or Walt would do quiet work – his desk was set up against a window overlooking Main Street. A lamp in the window would be left on when Walt was present in the apartment which was a fun thing for guests to see. Since his passing, the light is always burning in the window as a tribute.Ver video "13 Disney Park Secrets"
