UNITED NATIONS S'well Bottles 17oz Oxford Stain Australia , Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday appointed Jane Holl Lute of the United States as special coordinator on improving UN's response to sexual exploitation and abuse, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters here.


"The appointment of Ms. Lute is part of a series of ongoing measures derived from the secretary-general's analysis of the High Level External Independent Review Panel on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse by International Peacekeeping Forces in the Central African Republic, which submitted its report on Dec.17, 2015," Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here.


"The secretary-general is committed to ensuring that the systemic issues S'well Bottles 17oz Smokey Quartz Stain Australia , fragmentation and other weaknesses identified are fully addressed in a timely manner and, in so doing, to uphold the trust that must underpin all international engagements," the spokesman said.


During 2016, Lute will support the ongoing efforts of the secretary-general and the leadership of UN Offices S'well Bottles 17oz London Chimney Stain Australia , Departments, Funds and Programmes to better align UN peacekeeping and human rights systems and to strengthen the UN response to sexual exploitation and abuse, he said.


Lute has been serving as chief executive officer of the Center for Internet Security (CIS), and also currently serves as the special adviser to the secretary-general for relocation of Camp Hurriya Residents Outside of Iraq.


The appointment came just days after the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) reported on Feb. 4 that it has identified seven new possible victims of sexual exploitation and abuse in the town of Bambari.


In the spring of 2014, allegations came to light that international troops serving as peacekeepers had sexually abused a number of young children in exchange for food or money. The alleged perpetrators were largely from a French military force known as Sangaris S'well Bottles 17oz Moonstone Stain Australia , which was operating under authorization of the Security Council but not under UN command.


The nearly 11,000-strong MINUSCA was set up in 2014 after fighting between the mainly Muslim Séléka and mainly Christian anti-Balaka groups erupted in early 2013, killing thousands of people and driving hundreds of thousands more from their homes. The mission played a major role in providing security last month for the first round of presidential and legislative elections.


The new allegations came in early January after what the United Nations has confirmed to be 63 allegations of misconduct at the UN Mission since it began operations last year, with the UN under-secretary-general for peacekeeping operations, Herve Ladsous Liberty London X S'well Tatton Park Australia , reporting after a four-day visit to CAR in September that out of these 63 allegations, "15 relate to possible sexual exploitation and abuse... Most of those cases are under investigation."


The Central Africa Republic has been rocked by violence since a mainly Muslim rebellion in 2013. MINUSCA was set up in 2014 to help bring peace in the country after a breakdown of governmental authority and vicious intercommunal fighting.

Muffled Sounds

One of the telltale signs of auditory damage is muffled speech and sound. If you damaged your ears overnight, you would recognize instantly the muffled sounds suddenly surrounding you.

That is, until additional signs begin to show up.

Misunderstood Speech

One of the first things someone with noise damage or other forms of auditory loss will notice is their inability to understand what others are saying. In some cases, there will seem to be no loss of volume S'well Bottles 17oz Calacatta Gold Elements Australia , which is another reason many don't realize what the problem is. While the volume seems to be the same, though, the words become mushy and hard to parse.

Now, many people who wind up needing a hearing aid are already accustomed to enjoying music and possibly even television at high volumes. This volume increase has led to many an individual's auditory loss in the first place.

See a Doctor

If the signs and symptoms of auditory loss get to the point that they are interfering with your ability to live a normal life.
