Following the recommendation in the report of the Committee on Administrative Unions and the subsequent resolution of the Trusteeship Council passed during its seventh session, a Standing Committee on Administrative Unions was established. It held its first meeting at Lake Success on August 18, 1950 at which time the delegate of Argentina (Munoz) was elected chairman. The other members serving on the committee were New Zealand (Laking), Philippines (Aquino) and the United States (Gerig). A resolution was passed by the committee at its second meeting requesting the Secretariat to prepare an informal paper on the terms of reierence of the committee. The report of the Secretariat, based on the resolution of the Trusteeship Council and the report of the Committee on Administrative Unions, was submitted on August 24, 1950 and recommended that the committee might wish to 1) give attention to measures taken in respect to the limitation and duration of the legislative powers of the High Commission and of the East Africa Central Legislative Assembly which would cease to have effect on January 1, 1950, 2) determine whether administering authorities would continue to furnish clear and precise separate financial, statistical and other data relating to the trust territories participating in administrative unions, 3) give attention to the judicial systems of New Guinea and the Cameroons, 4) give attention to the possibility of attaining greater participation of the indigenous population in legislative activities in New Guinea, 5) consider whether the allocation of legislative powers between the East Africa Central Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Assembly of Tanganyika would be conducive to the advancement of the trust territory and an attainment of the objectives of the trusteeship system, 6) examine the extent to which the administering authorities regarded the desires of the inhabitants in matters relating to the administrative unions, 7) examine the extent to which the administering authorities facilitated the work of visiting missions of the United Nations, and 8) study any modification of the boundaries, separate status, and identity of trust territories participating in administrative unions. The resolution of the Trusteeship Council also charged the committee with the duty of ensuring that the administering authorities expended on the administration, welfare and development no less than the total amount of revenue derived from the trust territory in a given year.

There are at present armed forces of the United States in England, Northern Ireland, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, China, India, Iceland, in British possessions in the Western Hemisphere from Newfoundland to British Guiana, and in other friendly countries. There are troops of Great Britain or her dominions in Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and a few of them in the United States. English forces were a few months ago in Greece, and ours in the Dutch East Indies and Burma. There are troops of various exiled governments in England. The armed forces of Germany are in Italy, Libya, Hungary, and Rumania; and those of Japan in French Indo-China and Thailand. In every case mentioned, the visiting forces are in the foreign country by invitation, or at least with the consent, of its sovereign or government.

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits

AbstractWe examine the value of guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) options embedded in variable annuities in two different tax regimes. The New Zealand (NZ) system taxes investment income when it is earned, whereas the system in the United States defers taxes on annuity investment income until it is paid out. We examine the effects of these tax differences on the charges collected by the issuer as well as on the value of the contract to the policyholder. We find that the issuer’s charges are typically lower (higher) in the NZ tax regime when the expected fund earnings are low (high) or the fund volatility is high (low). On the other hand, the value to the policyholder is always lower in the NZ tax regime due to the earlier tax payments.We also find that the value of the GLWB in the NZ tax regime is nearly always below the value of an ordinary payout annuity with the same tax rules.

Indigenous Populations

Background Indigenous peoples are overrepresented with chronic health conditions and experience suboptimal outcomes compared with non-Indigenous peoples. Genetic variations influence therapeutic responses, thus there are potential risks and harm when extrapolating evidence from the general population to Indigenous peoples. Indigenous population–specific clinical studies, and inclusion of Indigenous peoples in general population clinical trials, are perceived to be rare. Our study (1) identified and characterized Indigenous population–specific chronic disease trials and (2) identified the representation of Indigenous peoples in general population chronic disease trials conducted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. Methods For Objective 1, publicly available clinical trial registries were searched from May 2010 to May 2020 using Indigenous population–specific terms and included for data extraction if in pre-specified chronic disease. For identified trials, we extracted Indigenous population group identity and characteristics, type of intervention, and funding type. For Objective 2, a random selection of 10% of registered clinical trials was performed and the proportion of Indigenous population participants enrolled extracted. Results In total, 170 Indigenous population–specific chronic disease trials were identified. The clinical trials were predominantly behavioral interventions (n = 95). Among general population studies, 830 studies were randomly selected. When race was reported in studies (n = 526), Indigenous individuals were enrolled in 172 studies and constituted 5.6% of the total population enrolled in those studies. Conclusion Clinical trials addressing chronic disease conditions in Indigenous populations are limited. It is crucial to ensure adequate representation of Indigenous peoples in clinical trials to ensure trial data are applicable to their clinical care.

Support Students

The number of English Language Learners (ELL) is increasing in all regions of the United States. Although the majority (71%) speak Spanish as their first language, the other 29% may speak one of as many as 100 or more different languages. In spite of an increasing number of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who can provide bilingual services, the likelihood of a match between a given student's primary language and an SLP's is rather minimal. The second best option is to work with a trained language interpreter in the student's language. However, very frequently, this interpreter may be bilingual but not trained to do the job.

Methodological Considerations

Abstract. During the last decades, several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of sexual abuse prevention programs implemented in different countries. In this article, we present a review of 70 studies (1981–2017) evaluating prevention programs, conducted mostly in the United States and Canada, although with a considerable presence also in other countries, such as New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The results of these studies, in general, are very promising and encourage us to continue this type of intervention, almost unanimously confirming its effectiveness. Prevention programs encourage children and adolescents to report the abuse experienced and they may help to reduce the trauma of sexual abuse if there are victims among the participants. We also found that some evaluations have not considered the possible negative effects of this type of programs in the event that they are applied inappropriately. Finally, we present some methodological considerations as critical analysis to this type of evaluations.

The chapter argues that India has a strong interest to balance China and that the two Asian giants will not be able grow together without conflict. However, India will not be able to balance China’s rise. The chapter argues that India remains stuck between nonalignment and nonperformance. On the one hand, it resists the prospect of a new coalition that balances China from the maritime fringes of Eurasia, especially if that coalition is led by the United States. On the other hand, it has failed to strengthen its own capabilities. Its military power lags behind China’s, its efforts to reach out to both East and Central Asia have ended in disappointment, and its economic reforms have gone nowhere. As a result of that economic underachievement, India finds itself also torn between emotional nationalism and paralyzing political fragmentation, which, in turn, will further complicate its role as a regional power.
