Eric Hernandez, representing the country of North Korea is from Culver City, California and his delegation is Culver-Palms YMCA (CPY).  Today in the General Assembly ( G.A.) they are trying to rush through all the resolutions for the various problems such as overpopulation and human trafficking.

During a morning session on Friday, Security Council was discussing the topic of nuclear power. They discussed how they would use the nuclear power, and where it would be stored. Kevin Lentz, representing Russia, suggested that we simply bribe Iran. “We should bribe Iran to stop producing nuclear weapons.” Others feared that Iran would use the money for bad reasons. “If we bribed Iran, how would we know they wouldn’t use the money to buy back the nuclear weapons they sold?”

Morning Inspirational is a fun way to start anyone’s day. Just in case you don’t know what Morning Inspiration is, it’s a gathering held in the morning at 7:15 in Academy 1. Morning inspiration involves singing and talking about the word of the day and telling and acting out skits about how that word is interpreted. “It is very uplifting and it wakes me up in the morning,” says Lauren Peeters of the CIA delegation. Steve, the very enthusiastic Inspiration leader, always brings his guitar …

Many people filled Academy 3 at 7:15 a.m. for Morning Inspiration.
Morning Inspiration is a way for ambassadors to wake up and feel great early in the morning. Led by Steve, ambassadors sing, talk, laugh and clap. Every day, Steve gives a word of the day that is important to our lives. The tricky part is every time we hear that word that day, we have to clap. Today’s word of the day is “kindness”.
Morning Inspiration was started off by a song about a person named …

Today in the Sercuity Council meeting, they talked about many interesting things, but I will tell you about  the most important things.
One important thing they talked about was Nuclear Proliferation in Iran. They talked about stopping Nuclear weapons from Iran. They also argue a lot, about either putting Iran on surveillance or how they would want to stop the spread of nuclear power.

On April 29th, Micheal the Magician had the nearly impossible job of entertaining 200 members of the Model United Nations, whose ages range from about 11-14.  The energetic magician preformed a wide variety of tricks, including levitation, nearly impossible balancing, and optical illusions, to name a few. Of course, not everyone in such a large crowd can be pleased easily, so many members of the audience had different opinions about the show.
“The shaving cream trick was awesome,” states conflicted bystander Jenna on his …
