The Embark World Academy THE EMBARK WORLD ACADEMY Introducing the Embark World Academy! This program was developed to deliver a variety of private homeschool options to help students maintain grade-level skills, while also exploring new passions with global exposure through extra-curricular experiences. Discover your passions from a global perspective. Parents choose one of three options for the academy: In-home private teacher, virtual one-on-one home school, or as extra-curricular to complement their existing academic agenda. Each course is sponsored by a local luxury hotel and taught by their in-house experts or local connections. Think of this as a live master class for students K- 12. Each course is sponsored by a luxury hotel and taught by their in-house experts or local connections. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES All activities will be live and virtual, with an option to go in-person when the world opens! All can be commissioned on a private basis or a small group of up to 5 other kids in the same age bracket. Courses last between 8-12 weeks and meet 1-2 times each week. Most activities also include an invitation to stay at the sponsoring hotel for at least 2 nights with their family. Prices range from $800 a semester for a shared class to $5,000 a semester for a private class.

International Law from a Machiavellian Perspective, by Anthony D'Amato, pp.82-95, in The Realist Tradition and Contemporary International Relations, ed. by W. David Clinton, (Political Traditions in Foreign Policy series), Louisiana State University Press, 2007 Abstract: Machiavelli leaves one with both an optimistic and a pessimistic prognostication for the post-Cold War world. On the one hand, the end of that conflict has opened the way for the spread of liberal, constitutional regimes, which he would say are inclined to be more and more meticulous in honoring their commitments. On the other, the temptation to use force to create new facts and thereby force international law into new paths will remain as long as politics is practiced. The contemporary relevance of Machiavelli may be seen in that he urged both realities upon us. I focus on a single incident that postdated the end of the Cold War—the show of force by the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the Taiwan Strait in March 1996.

These capabilities include a new service called Internet CNN Newsroom, which enables the retrieval of current and archival news footage through the World Wide Web.
