Happy Sunday, everybody! I hope your week was better, than mine! I had this quite serious cold sticking through most of it making it quite hard for me to function normally.

NATO foreign ministers sing “We Are The World” at dinner after yesterday’s summit in Antalya, Turkey. I just cannot not post this. I was meaning to look for something to share about the summit itself, but this is so much more fun! 🙂 (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Happy Sunday Everybody! I was down with a terrible cold most of this week, which made me delay the launch of one new feature to the blog. But, better late than never, right? I’ll work on it next week. Hope you can take time to check out this week’s post while doing your Sunday things. 🙂 The Legality of ISIS Air Strikes Under International Law While John Kerry continues his campaign to collect supporters for the cause, this is a great post about the alternatives of making bombing Syria look like it was legal.
