He also called for a streamlined process to ensure that the port of Hudaydah stayed open to allow the unimpeded flow of fuel. The representative of the United States echoed the sentiment of several speakers when he underscored the need to pay the salaries of civil servants, nurses and teachers. In the ensuing discussion, members called on all parties to return to the negotiating table, warning that any escalation in fighting would only result in the pain and suffering for Yemeni people, who had already endured so much. Outlining the humanitarian advances of the past several months under the truce, she warned: “We cannot let these, and other gains go to waste.” She also called for the immediate release of two United Nations colleagues who had been detained in Sana’a for almost a year, and of five United Nations staff still missing after being abducted in February. Day-to-day activities such as farming or even walking to school had become life-threatening. Reverting to violence and fighting would mean more suffering for the people of Yemen, he continued, adding that violence would also have destabilizing effects on the wider region and risk jeopardizing future peace prospects.Īssistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Joyce Msuya, told the Council, in her briefing, that civilians in Yemen still faced terrible dangers, including from landmines and other explosive hazards, which had killed or injured 70 civilians in September alone. The truce’s list of benefits was long, including a significant decrease in civilian casualties. Halting all military aggression was critical, as was the transparent and regular disbursement of salaries to civil servants. The Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grunberg, said that the Yemeni people stood to lose a lot if violence sparked once again. P.S.Parties to the conflict in Yemen had yet to agree on extending their truce, resulting in fresh uncertainty and a heightened risk for violence, the United Nations top official for Yemen told the Security Council today as members urged all parties to the conflict, particularly the Houthi militia, to exhibit cooperation and flexibility, and return to the negotiating table.

I mean, flumps over mashed banana…really?! Syns work for some peeps, but don’t abandon common sense blindly like those people who follow their Sat-Nav instructions into a river. This will go along to keeping you fit and healthy for years to come. Reduce your sugar intake AND the amount of wacky ingredients you let in your bod. Mess up your hormonal mojo and you’re in for a tough time losing the old belly fat, even if you cut the calories (or syns).Īnyway, here’s my advice that could well be added to the Slimming World manual… They can especially cause trouble with your hormones, digestive system and blood chemistry…

The thing is that it’s not just sugar (from mashed fruit or other sources) you’ve gotta be careful with…Īll those random wacky ingredients can cause just as much trouble, like the ones that go in Flumps, Space Invaders or ready made meals made by certain diet companies (not mentioning any names).

In my opinion, it’s always better to eat fruit (mashed or not) over Flumps and Space Invaders. I might be wrong, but I don’t think the people that have joined Slimming World are overweight because they’ve been eating too much mashed fruit.Įven Space Invaders (aka crisps/potato chips) get less syns than the humble mashed banana. The Slimming World folk say that when you mash fruit, it releases more of the sugars and you’re likely to eat more of the fruit because it’s easier to shovel it down down your throat. You surely have to mash a banana slightly in your mouth, I think it’s called chewing?! I digress…
