International Centre for Women Playwrights
We are having a fundraiser for an education development program for our members
Here is the appeal letter and the link to see the videos and learn more about the project.
For over 30 years ICWP, using theatre as our voice, has tackled women's issues: family, social, cultural, religious, financial, and political.
From its start in the University at Buffalo, New York, USA, ICWP today can boast of hundreds of members spread across six of the seven continents. As the President of ICWP, I am proud not only of our achievements, but also for the strength of our support for gender parity.
We grew because there was a demand for an organization that celebrated women's stories and storytelling worldwide. Today, the need is still so important, the stories ever so relevant, and our voices are even louder. We are being heard.
Over the years, ICWP has widened its scope of what we offer you, our members, from the script-reading group, the 3-Minute Play project, local meet-ups, play submission opportunities, and opportunities for residencies and conferences. All shared through an active Connect List where you ask questions and speak your minds, and find each other.
We do recognize, however, that there are certain financial struggles for some of our members who seek educational advancement including conference registration and attendance, workshops, classes, and travel to residencies. To that end, we are establishing an educational Development Fund to assist our membership.
Our Developmental Fund goal is $5000.
Fundraising dates: October 3, 2019 – October 30, 2019
Professional education, and the exchange of knowledge and ideas are fundamental to our success as playwrights.
Please join me today in supporting this fund. Your donation has the power to change the lives of women playwrights who continue to strive to have their voice, their stories heard.

Thank you,
Patricia L. Morin, President
International Centre for Women Playwrights
"I was talking with another playwright the other day and we got onto the topic of how when your writing is in full flow you feel like something outside of yourself is actually doing the writing, and at the same time you can get frequent "psychic " events– like premonitions, predictive dreaming, synchronicity events. It's like going to an unconnected event and someone who is an expert in the field you are writing about just happens to be there. We wonder if playwrights in general are more psychic than the normal population? So I said I'd ask here and check if any of you have had similar experiences." Margaret McSeveney to ICWP connect list.
As it turned out, several of the playwrights responded that they had. One had called it fate's intervention, like writing a psychic book and then meeting a psychic at the grocery store … similar occurences. The universe's way of saying, "This was supposed to happen."
In Psychology, there is a syndrome where we can feel like a "Participant" and "Observer" at the
Is that similar to the other-worldliness of the writer? Is that any different then the gas station attendant, the English teacher, the worker bee in any field that is working in full flow … and feel like something outside themselves is actually helping with their work and, at the same time, receiving a "psychic " flash, like going to party and something outside of themselves tells them to leave?
I believe it is part of the human condition, a natural part of us that we are in the process of understanding.
My short piece, "Clay Horse Ashtray," was selected to be part of the first release of the hand-stitched, limited copies, 180 worded pieces.
Clay Horse Ashtray
I love my room of four years, its flea market vogue. Vonnegut would be proud. A cockroach crawls up my desk as Beethoven's Moonlight crescendos. Next to the desk, bamboo crates from the corner bodega holds my overdue textbooks, my NYU acceptance letter. The roach hits my clay horse ashtray choked with half-smoked Marlboros, wisely turns around. I stick a finger in the pages to hold my place in Vonnegut as the roach scurries over my exams, all A's. I wish for nothing but my smokes, and, on special occasions, fresh water from one of those bottles that says its pure, two bucks a piece! Almost as much as I payed for my dying DVD player. Masters of Fine Arts: I try it on in the mirror. Moonlight Sonata ends. This summer, my framed NYU acceptance will hang at the entrance of my family's diner, for all to see, before I come to their tables to take their orders. Pat Morin
It's fitting for me this year to discuss this holiday. Why should a would-be Christian care about this beyond respecting the faith of my friends and fans? Because I have worked on my full-length play A CLEAN WELL-LIGHTED PARK BENCH (taken from a short story in my mystery short-story collection, DEADLY ILLUSIONS and made into a short play that was part of an award-winning TBA anthology!_ Hoo-Haa!) Saul, a Jewish Octogenarian sits on a bench in Central Park lamenting the death of his wife, that he believes he killed, and to the moon. He reminisces about her, not in a positive way, She was a verkelemp shiksa that "Hokk me a tshynik". Translation: Crazy non-Jew that talked and talked and talked, oh, and ad nagged, to the point of abuse. At their wedding, Saul signing on the dotted line of the Ketubah, and they stood under the Chuppah, the wedding cover, she was supposed to circle Saul seven times for the seven days of creation, a Jewish tradition, she stopped after five and told the Rabbi that people should only work five days, not seven. Truth be she was zaftig, fat. Her mother said they may as well be in Hotseplotz, middle of nowhere, that they should not expect many visits. New York City, is that far away from Toms River, New Jersey? No homemade latkes, potato pancakes, for Hanukkah either.
An appreciation of my growing Yiddish words lead me to a better appreciation of the traditions, their tongue-in-cheek humor, and their religious honor–for their loyalty to their goy kadosh (a holy nation).
So for all you Jewish fans out there es gezunterheyt with your whole mishpocha. Yes. Eat in good health with your family, or friends, or have a vegan lunch with your pets, and Happy Holiday!
I wrote this little ditty of a piece as a submission for an animal story in a magazine. They wanted something that really threatened man and beast. This was too much of a fluff-ball for them, but I really liked it and thought I would share it. 🙂
The Visit
We met eye to eye on my back porch. He/she/ it, whatever, didn't look friendly. "Whatever" studied me, and I could tell by its movement around my crow's nest high deck overlooking the bay, it was searching for food. I stood perfectly still.
"Looking for something?" I murmured more to myself, not wanting to scare it. As quickly as it came, it left. Maybe it's hungry and I should feed it?
No sooner than my mind flash on its beauty, it returned. "God, you're fast," I whispered as its fluttering wings zipped by me, a clicking sound following in its wake. It shone an iridescent red and green, a tiny Christmas tree of cheerful colors soaring straight up into the air like a fighter jet, but then it made a sharp right, and returned back to the porch, and in my face, not two feet away!
I froze.
"Lots of crow's here, little hummingbird. One could snap you up and crunch you like a potato chip. If not them, those black vultures that eat live prey. Hungry? Not many plants for you this year with the fires."
It circled me, and buzzed near my ear as it repeated its last route around the porch and hovered over the gallon water jug. "It's not sugar water, but I'll buy you a feeder and hang it on the porch." The little shining Christmas-tree clicked a verbal reply and took off.
Yeah, like it understood me. Fat Chance. I wasn't that stupid.
I drove down the hill to the old hardware store on Main. I bought a plastic feeder and red sugar water. "They like the color red," Jerry behind the counter said as if I didn't know. At home, I hung the feeder up, about six feet off the ground, just like the directions read. I eyed the circling black vultures. Not a good year for them either.
I waited and waited, but the sun got the sugar water that summer. Don't know what happened for certain to the little bird as I envisioned it being chased by one crow and caught by another, its neck snapped like a potato chip. But maybe it moved on to a safer place.
Doubted it.
In a weak moment, I was going to buy a little Christmas ornament I saw in the local hardware store, a shining bird of red and green that one could clip on a Christmas Tree that winter, but I didn't. I was sorry "Whatever" didn't return, but truth be told, I was mighty glad for its visit.
The End
This is my article to Sisters In Crime Newsletter
I was drawn to the relationship between gender parity in theatre and publishing through my work with the International Centre of Women Playwrights (ICWP). Of which I am the president. We had just completed our 50/50 Applause Award honoring theatres that promote women playwrights on an equal basis to male playwrights. ICWP's mission is to connect, inspire, and empowers women playwrights to achieve equity on the world stages.
Since working as President of ICWP, time has passed quicker than the fastest water current, and carried with it a new awareness of several things. Being President of any organization teaches lessons on Governance and all that applies to legal, social (the community around the world), and membership considerations (following a mission statement, delivery of services promised, and an understanding of the vast amount of cultures we serve). I've been traveling that stream, and not able to walk, yet, on my home ground, feeling safe sequestered in my books and plays.
But I want to share our press release for the 50/50 and show exactly how extensive this program was, and International Centre for Women Playwrights is:
Awards Announced for Theaters Around the World Promoting Gender Equity
Industry still has a long way to go, Centre for Women Playwrights finds
The International Centre for Women Playwrights (ICWP) today announced its 2018 50/50 Applause Awards, honoring theaters that produce plays written in equal measure by women and men. At the same time, the Centre finds that the vast majority of theaters around the world are coming up short in terms of gender equity.
The Centre received 103 nominations and only 62 qualified for the award.
The awards honor theaters at least half of whose productions in their July 2017- June 2018 seasons are written by women. Further, a theater must have staged three or more productions during the season and have plays authored by both male and female in their season. For the 2018 Awards, only Main Stage productions were taken into account, as that is where most theater budgets are spent and where playwrights receive the most media attention and career advancement.
The 62 recipients of this year's awards are found throughout Australia, Canada, Finland, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, United States, and Wales.
For the 2017-2018 season, approximately 60% of the qualifying theaters are repeat recipients. For example, Here Arts Center has made the list for six years in a row, while off the WALL has made it for five consecutive years. Awardees range from community and college theaters to internationally renowned public theaters.
"We are pleased to see that there are some theaters that, year after year, provide opportunities for women playwrights. We salute their efforts," said 50/50 Applause Award Co-Chair Patricia L. Morin. "However, we will witness more economic discrimination toward women playwrights (smaller stages, less performances, less pay), as well as the constant promotion of male voices, unless more theaters step up and join the ranks to support 50/50 gender parity."
Academic and charity organization research continues to support the notion that there are gender inequities in theatrical companies around the globe.
For example, the League of Professional Theatre Women recently released the results of its 2018 "Women Count" study. The percentage of women playwrights represented by the theaters profiled in the study ranged from 29% in 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 to a season high of 37% in 2016-2017. This looks like an upward movement to be welcomed, but a closer look at the figures shows that five theaters profiled in the study had no women playwrights at all in the 2016-2017 study season.
In late 2017, American Theatre magazine reported that, out of 513 not-for-profit theaters across the U.S., only 26% of their new plays and revivals were written by women, with 62% written by men and 11% co-written by women and men.
The Playwrights Guild of Canada reported that for the 2017 season in that country, productions by male playwrights continued to dominate — 64%, which was the same as 2016 — and shows by women playwrights still hovered around the 25% mark.
The National Voice, a publication of The Australian Writers Guild, reported that, of 95 shows surveyed for 2017 that included Australian playwrights — including those staged by state theater companies — 56% were written by men.
The 2018 50/50 Applause Awards come in the wake of a momentous year for women's struggle for equality in many different arenas. The #metoo movement that began in October 2017 rocked the film, media and theater industries across the world. The movement has shown how a bullying and sexually abusive environment limits the participation and career success of women.
A majority of theater artistic directors do not stage the work of female and male playwrights in an equal proportion, and this has repercussions for society by suppressing women's stories and filling the theater stages with the male imagination. The male presence not only dominates artistic directors, it dominates the theater boards, governing boards, and public funding institutions throughout the world.
The bravery of those speaking out in the #metoo movement is echoed in the words of Millicent Fawcett, the early 20th century British suffragist who campaigned for women's rights throughout her life, and whose motto was "Courage calls to courage everywhere".
To have a professional theater scene that encourages, enables and celebrates women playwrights, governing boards, public funders and artistic directors around the world should ask themselves if the theater programs they are supporting are enabling gender discrimination in favor of men, and silencing the voices of the creative women who have equally valid things to say. The 50/50 Applause Award certificate should be as important as fire and public safety certificates, and their theaters should not be able to open their doors without it.
At the urging of feminist and journalist Caroline Criado Perez, a statue of Millicent Fawcett was placed in London's Parliament Square in April. In the foreword to the Fawcett Society report "Sex & Power 2018″, Perez writes: "Finally, we have to stop pretending that the path to equality is out of our hands. Power is never given freely. Liberty is never achieved by chance. It is achieved by design. So let's start designing it."

|Mutant Evolver Pheyaos
|Chaos/Traveler fusion
Pheyaos is a joint Vinyl effort between RealxHead and Onell Design. As of Wave 80 Pheyaos has become a production PVC figure first referred to as Mutant Evolver Pheyaos.
Character History
Real Fusion
"During SDCC I received one of the best things in my toy making and collecting history, the first shot of our collaboration with Mori of Real X Head, a character we named Pheyaos. This little creature was dreamed up while I was visiting Japan last April. Mori and I wanted a representation of his main mutant, Chaos, fused with ol' Pheyden. Chaos has the ability to "sample" other beings with his Probe Arm and maybe he decided to absorb something cosmic for one of his experiments. Pheyaos is a first on quite a few levels - he is the first Real X Head mini with articulated arms and personally, he is the first toy design I worked on that I didn't actually sculpt. Mori's sculptor is incredible and captured all the details with precision and intuition. I haven't been able to put this thing down since I picked it up."[1]
Mutant Weirdo"Chaos has lent its DNA, but not its noggin. However, elements of the Chaos head design were incorporated in a "roundabout" way to allow for some options." "Mori and I really wanted the swapping to be easy and fun, but we also worked to maintain the sculptural aspects of the RxH brand." "The asymmetry follows closely to the source material, with some "mirrored" parts sprinkled throughout the lower body, but it mostly has unique weirdness on each side." "We really tried to bridge the gap between the narrative style and building style of figures, but with the primary concentration being on the overall visual look of the character. This aspect was particularly important due to its lineage and the original design principles that Mori and I share."[3]
"13 parts total (plus 1 Switch Pin), same as Pheyden, only more robust. Pheyaos (1.2 oz) weighs exactly double that of Pheyden (.6 oz). Crazy how that unintentionally worked out on the nose!"[4] "There's something about building with only the parts of a specific style figure that pushes the limits in some unexpected ways. I still have great memories of building crazy early Villser Mutations and Reflex Suits using only Pheyden and Exellis parts!
A lot of that spirit definitely lives on in this new figure, now with the added bonuses of having functions in the bottoms of the feet and the center of the back. "[5]"The new figure does have some direct ties to the Villser (and Pheyden) thematically, especially if you look back at the older Villser concept drawings. That being said, this is a completely separate deal than the ongoing Villser Extra Set project, though a solid build cross-compatibility was still firmly in mind during this new figure's entire development (angles, sizing, sculpting, etc.).
One of the main intentions with this new mutant was to create something that was between a "narrative" design and a "building" design, with a significant amount of focus placed on capturing the original "feel" of Pheyden, but updated with fit functions on the bottoms of the feet and the center of the back -with a little added overall size to cut a fresh silhouette within the general Glyos lineup."[8]
"We've been working with Mori towards this new release for many years and it feels pretty wild to finally hold the finished product of all those talks, work sessions and visits in the palm of your hand. Can't wait until you guys start playing around with this little mutant as well!
Mori's an incredible artist and person, and we wanted to truly honor his creativity and ingenuity with some fully realized PVC action!"[9]
Wrath of the RebornReemerging from the events surrounding the appearance of the Atarikoth Comet and the devastating Diversus Gate Incident that followed, Gatekeeper Viyer once again turned his focus on the study and genetic manipulation of the most unique and powerful entities found throughout the Glyos System and beyond. Accompanied by his loyal bodyguard and friend, Traveler Evenollus, Viyer crossed through the Zorennor Rift aboard his rebuilt Edgeliner Marezioc in search of the original Villser homeworld, Odravunn, and the untold lifeforms rumored to exist there. However, before reaching their destination, the Edgeliner was attacked by an unknown, cycloptic creature that possessed bizarre and incredible dimensional abilities. After a long and exhaustive battle due to the its extraordinary regenerative properties, the chaotic beast was finally repelled by the brave actions of Evenollus, who suffered near fatal damage in the process of phasing through the monster's body. Desperate to save the life of his companion, Viyer infused Evenollus with a combination of hyper powered Mordireus energy and a captured sample of the very beast that almost destroyed him...[10]

Airtel tweaks post-paid offerings, to gradually phase out plans below Rs 499
Updated : May 14, 2019 04:22 PM IST
The move is aimed at simplification of plans and would also help the company chase better realisation from mobile subscribers, improving the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), according to a source.
The source said the company is in the process of phasing out post-paid plans of less than Rs 499, as other plans pack in more value and digital content for subscribers willing to shell out a tad bit more.

G2 STC 2/2018 COMMANDANTS PAPER THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROBUST PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS CASES OF EAST TIMOR AND DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (1st DRAFT) Ref A. MAF JP 0.01 (2012) Malaysian armed forces staff manual (service writing) INTRODUCTION 1. Peacekeeping has been one of the main conflict management tools used by the international community to restore or safeguard peace and security. Since 1948, the United Nations has established 70 peace operations and has substantially evolved, adopting approaches to peace that extend beyond purely military concerns. Indeed, the promises of peacekeeping as effective instrument of conflict reduction may, to some extent, explain the evolution toward multidimensional missions and the unprecedented number of peacekeepers deployed in the last decade. 2. The complex peacekeeping operation by the United Nations (UN) to contain the armed conflict and political violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been one of the largest and most expensive missions in the UN history. Since 1999, the peacekeeping effort in the DRC has cost almost 18 billion and currently comprises of 17,000 military personnel, 1,500 police officers, and 3,500 civilians. 3. Starting from 1600s when the Portuguese invaded Timor and set up trading post and used the island as source of sandalwood, till 1975- December when Indonesia invaded, using its fight against communism as a pretext. and annexed it as a territory and 27th province, to 1999October- when UN first Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) was established, the East Timor has seen a lot of politico social turmoil. Yet starting from 1999 till 2012 the 5 main UN sequential peacekeeping missions or efforts can rightly be phrased as success story. Keeping all these factors in mind the robustness of UN peace keeping operations demands a close analysis. AIM 5. The aim of this paper is to discuss the effectiveness of robust peace keeping operations with reference to the case study of East Timor and DRC. DISCUSSION 6. Background of UNPKO. United Nations Peacekeeping began in 1948 when the Security Council authorized the deployment of UN military observers to the Middle East. Since then, more than HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/sites/default/files/peacekeeping/en/operationslist.pdf t _blank 70peacekeeping operationshave been deployed by the UN. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of military personnel, as well as tens of thousands of UN police and other civilians from more than HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/en/troop-and-police-contributors 120 countrieshave participated in UN peacekeeping operations. More than HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/en/fatalities 3,000 UN peacekeepers from some 120 countries have diedwhile serving under the UN flag. The Early Years. UN Peacekeeping was born at a time when Cold War rivalries frequently paralyzed the Security Council. Peacekeeping was primarily limited to maintaining ceasefires and stabilizing situations on the ground, providing crucial support for political efforts to resolve conflict by peaceful means. Figure,1. UN Photo/UNEF b. The first two peacekeeping operations deployed by the UN were the HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/en/mission/untso UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO)and the HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/en/mission/unmogip UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP). c. The Post-Cold War Surge. With the end of the Cold War, the strategic context for UN Peacekeeping changed dramatically. Figure,2.UN Photo/Ky Chung The UN shifted and expanded its field operations from traditional missions involving generally observational tasks performed by military personnel to complex multidimensional enterprises. d. Towards the 21st century New operations, new challenges. At the turn of the century, the UN undertook a major exercise to examine the challenges to peacekeeping in the 1990s and introducing HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/en/reforming-peacekeeping reform. The aim was to strengthen our capacity to effectively manage and sustain field operations. With a greater understanding of the limits and potential of UN Peacekeeping, the UN was asked to perform even more complex tasks. This started in 1999 when the UN served as the administrator of both Kosovo in the former Yugoslavia. e. The present. Today, a little more than 110,000 military, police and civilian staff currently serve in 14 peacekeeping missions, representing a decrease in both personnel and peacekeeping missions, as a result of peaceful transitions and the rebuilding of functioning states. 7. Definition of an Effective Peace Keeping Operation. Defining peace, theoretically and empirically, has been a perennial issue for scholars of international relations and peace studies. The concept of negative peace, or the absence of war, has been challenged by differing perspectives on positive peace, including concepts such as participatory peace to bottom-up peace .The operationalization of conflict has also been defined according to different thresholds, specifying different targets of violence, and referring to temporal and within-country variation. Hence, the definition of the effectiveness of peace operations is vigorously debated in the peacekeeping literature, and it has only become more relevant as the field has adopted systematic empirical assessments of mission performance. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the so-called second wave of peacekeeping studies struggled to define and measure success .In 1988, Paul Diehl published what may be one of the first studies on peacekeeping effectiveness that moves beyond the descriptive approach of the first wave of peacekeeping studies. The core and main criterion for peacekeeping success, according to Diehl, depends on the capacity of the mission to limit armed conflict and prevent its renewal. A secondary criterion concerns the missions ability to foster peaceful settlement. . As per the UNs definition there are three basic principles that continue to set UN peacekeeping operations apart as a tool for maintaining international peace and security. These three principles are inter-related and mutually reinforcing Consent of the parties. Impartiality. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate. By amalgamating these two different difinations the criteria of defining the effective peace keeping is set for this service writing. 8. A Broad Over View of Cruz Report. 2017 saw the highest number of peacekeeper fatalities through violent acts in over two decades, with 56 peacekeepers killed. In an effort to reverse this trend and improve the safety and security of UN peacekeepers, the Secretary-General in November 2017 appointed Lieutenant General (Retired) Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz (Brazil) to carry out an in-depth review of peacekeeping fatalities and injuries due to hostile acts.9. The Report aims to identify why the UN has had so many casualties caused by acts of violence in recent years and what should be done to reduce these casualties. In the course of the Review, the team visited UN peacekeeping operations in the DRC, Central African Republic, Mali and South Sudan, accessed relevant internal UN data and conducted 160 interviews to inform their work. The Report does not address the issue of mandates, but instead confines its conclusions to operational issues in MINUSMA, MONUSCO, MINUSCA, UNAMID and UNMISS.10. The Report, which was submitted to the Secretary-General, states that with the influx of armed groups, extremists, organized crime, and other criminal elements and threats, the UN flag no longer offers natural protection to peacekeepers. The Review Team identified four broad areas where the United Nations and Member States must take actions to reduce fatalities.These include- Changing mindsets so that personnel are aware of the risks and empowered to take the initiative to deter, prevent, and respond to attacks Improving capacities so that the mission and personnel are equipped and trained to operate in high-threat environments Achieving a threat sensitive mission footprint that is aligned with mission mandates and limits the exposure of the mission to threat Enhancing accountability to ensure that those able to take actions to prevent fatalities and injuries live up to their responsibilities. 12. Case of East Timor. The1999 East Timorese crisisbegan with attacks by anti-independence militants on civilians, and expanded to general violence throughout the country, centered in the capital HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dili o Dili Dili. The violence erupted after a majority of eligible HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Timor o East Timor East imoresevoters HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Timor_Special_Autonomy_Referendum o East Timor Special Autonomy Referendum chose independencefrom HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia o Indonesia Indonesia. Some 1,400 civilians are believed to have died. A UN-authorized force ( HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERFET o INTERFET INTERFET) consisting mainly of HYPERLINK https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Defence_Force o Australian Defence Force Australian Defence Forcepersonnel was deployed to East Timor to establish and maintain peace. a. UNs Peace Keeping Missions and their Role. The United Nations General Assembly placed East Timor on the international agenda in 1960, when it added the territory to its list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. At that time, East Timor was administered by Portugal. 14 years later, in 1974, Portugal sought to establish a provisional government and a popular assembly that would determine the status of East Timor. Civil war broke out between those who favoured independence and those who advocated integration with Indonesia. Unable to control the situation, Portugal withdrew. Indonesia intervened militarily and integrated East Timor as its 27th province in 1976. The United Nations never recognized this integration, and both the Security Council and the General Assembly called for Indonesias withdrawal.b. In June 1998, Indonesia proposed a limited autonomy for East Timor within Indonesia. In light of this proposal, the talks made rapid progress and resulted in a set of agreements between Indonesia and Portugal, signed in New York on 5 May 1999. c. UNAMET and the Popular Consultation. To carry out the consultation, the Security Council, by HYPERLINK http//daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/GetOpenDSs/res/1246(1999)LangE resolution 1246(1999), authorized the establishment of the HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/peace/etimor99/etimor.htm United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET)on 11 June 1999. On 30 August 1999, some 98 per cent of registered East Timorese voters went to the polls deciding by a margin of 21.5 per cent to 78.5 per cent to reject the proposed autonomy and begin a process of transition towards independence. Following the announcement of the result, pro-integration militias, at times with the support of elements of the Indonesian security forces, launched a campaign of violence, looting and arson throughout the entire territory. On 12 September 1999, the Government of Indonesia agreed to accept the offer of assistance from the international community. The Security Council then authorized ( HYPERLINK http//daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/GetOpenDSs/res/1264(1999)LangE S/RES/1264) the multinational force (INTERFET) under a unified command structure headed by a Member State (Australia) to restore peace and security in East Timor. d. UNTAET and Transition to Independence. On 19 October 1999, the Indonesian Peoples Consultative Assembly formally recognized the result of the consultation. Shortly thereafter, on 25 October, the United Nations Security Council, by HYPERLINK http//daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/GetOpenDSs/res/1272(1999)LangE resolution 1272 (1999), established the HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/peace/etimor/etimor.htm United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET)as an integrated, multidimensional peacekeeping operation fully responsible for the administration of East Timor during its transition to independence. In February 2000, marking the complete deployment of UNTAET, command of military operations was transferred from INTERFET to the United Nations Peacekeeping Force.. On 30 August 2001, two years after the Popular Consultation, more than 91 per cent of East Timors eligible voters went to the polls again this time to elect an 88-member Constituent Assembly tasked with writing and adopting a new Constitution and establishing the framework for future elections and a transition to full independence. e. UNMISET and Post-independence Period. UNMISET and Post-independence Period UN involvement in Timor-Leste continued after its independence in May 2002 to ensure the security and stability of the nascent State. A new mission, known as the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET), was set up by HYPERLINK http//daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/GetOpenDSs/res/1410(2002)LangE resolution 1410 (2002)unanimously adopted by the Security Council on 17 May 2002. The Mission was established with the following mandate to provide assistance to core administrative structures critical to the viability and political stability of East Timor to provide interim law enforcement and public Security and to assist in developing the East Timor Police Service (ETPS) and contribute to the maintenance of the new countrys external and internal security. Over the course of next two years, UNMISET had gradually handed over its executive authority for external and internal security to the Government of Timor-Leste.The mandate of UNMISET was completed in May 2005 and a successor UN political missionthe United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL)was established on 20 May 2005. UNOTIL was scheduled to end its mandate in May 2006, and the Security Council had already received the Secretary-Generals recommendations for the post-UNOTIL period. However, a series of events culminating in a political, humanitarian and security crisis of major dimensions led the Council to prolong UNOTILs mandate and ultimately in August 2006 to establish a new mission HYPERLINK https//peacekeeping.un.org/sites/default/files/past/unmit/index.html the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT). The new UN Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL), a one-year follow-on mission, remained in the country until 2012. 13. Case of Democratic Republic Of Congo (DRC). The conflict of DRC will be discussed in detail as under- a. Background. The DRC, formerly known as Zaire, became independent on 30 June 1960 after being colonized by Belgium. However, in the years that followed, the country has been entangled in violence not only resulted from internal disagreements among the political elites in the country, but also from strong animosity among various groups, particularly between the two ethnics, Hutus and Tutsis from the neighboring country, Rwanda. The resentment among them gradually built up when Rwanda gained independence in 1962 and the Hutus led the Rwandan government. In 1994, approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans, mostly of Tutsi population and pro-peace Hutus, were killed during the 100-day period from 7 April to mid-July 1994 by the Hutumajority government. In response, the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) overthrew the Rwandan Hutu government forcing an estimated 2 million Hutu refugees fled to refugee camps in neighboring countries, particularly in eastern Zaire. When Kabila gained control of the capital, he continued to face substantial obstacles in restoring the order in the country. Besides political jostling among various groups to gain power and an enormous external debt, the conspicuous Rwandan presence in the capital also irritated many Congolese. This resulted in Second War Congo from 1998 to 2003 pitted Congolese government forces, supported byAngola,Namibia, andZimbabwe, against rebels and soldiers backed by Uganda and Rwanda who were trying to dominate the eastern provinces. A peace agreement was signed in 2002 by the warring parties that finally saw Rwandas and Ugandas withdrawal from the Congo. TheTransitional Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congowas set up in 2003 to transform the country into a government based upon aconstitutionagreed on by consensus. However, violence continued in many regions of the country, especially in the eastern Congo. b. UN PEACEKEEPING OPERATION MONUC. The UN peacekeeping mission was established in the Congo following the signing of the Lusaka Ceasefire Agreement in July 1999 between the DRC and five regional States (Angola, Namibia,Rwanda,Uganda andZimbabwe) in accordance to theUnited Nations Security Councilin resolutions1279(1999) and 1291 (2000) of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The peacekeeping force was originally known as MONUC, an acronym of its French nameMission de lOrganisation des Nations Unies en Rpublique dmocratique du Congo and was set up to observe the ceasefire and disengagement of forces by the warring factions involved in the Second Congo War and maintain liaison with all parties to the Ceasefire Agreement. In 2003, a MONUC operation called Artemis led by the French forces was launched and successfully completed its stabilization mission in three weeks. It then passed responsibility for regional security back to MONUC, but ongoing violence prompted the UN to request additional international assistance. With this call, India announced its involvement as did Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Morocco bringing the number of MONUC peacekeepers up to 16,000 in 2005 for supervision of the 2006 elections including the deployment of aEuropean Unionforce to support MONUC during the period. c. MONUSCO. The UN did not prolong MONUCs initial mandate, scheduled to end in 2008. Instead, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the UNSC adopted Resolution 1925 to establish the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) in 2010 to take over the peacekeeping mission from MONUC. The new mission has been authorized to use all necessary means to carry out its mandate relating, among other things, to the protection of civilians, humanitarian personnel and human rights defenders under imminent threat of physical violence and to support the DRC government in its stabilization and peace consolidation efforts. Today, MONUSCO is the biggest and costliest UN mission with about 22,400 people, including nearly 17,000 soldiers and over 1,350 police. More than 30 nations have contributed military and police personnel to support the peacekeeping operations. However, despite its presence in Eastern Congo, MONUSCO has been unable to broker an effective peace process to deal with the remaining70 armed groupsin the region or to play a critical role in bringing an end to the political turmoil in the country. ANALYSIS 13. How to ascertain Effectivness of a UNPKO. Fol 4 principles can be used to gauge the effectivness of any peacekeeping operation Consent of the parties. Impartiality. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate. Resolution of the Issue at hand. a. Consent of the parties. UN peacekeeping operations are deployed with the consent of the main parties to the conflict. This requires a commitment by the parties to a political process. Their acceptance of a peacekeeping operation provides the UN with the necessary freedom of action, both political and physical, to carry out its mandated tasks.In the absence of such consent, a peacekeeping operation risks becoming a party to the conflict and being drawn towards enforcement action, and away from its fundamental role of keeping the peace. b. Impartiality. Impartiality is crucial to maintaining the consent and cooperation of the main parties, but should not be confused with neutrality or inactivity. United Nations peacekeepers should be impartial in their dealings with the parties to the conflict, but not neutral in the execution of their mandate.Just as a good referee is impartial, but will penalize infractions, so a peacekeeping operation should not condone actions by the parties that violate the undertakings of the peace process or the international norms and principles that a United Nations peacekeeping operation upholds. c. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate. UN peacekeeping operations are not an enforcement tool. However, they may use force at the tactical level, with the authorization of the Security Council, if acting in self-defence and defence of the mandate. In certain volatile situations, the Security Council has given UN peacekeeping operations robust mandates authorizing them to use all necessary means to deter forceful attempts to disrupt the political process, protect civilians under imminent threat of physical attack, and/or assist the national authorities in maintaining law and order. Although on the ground they may sometimes appear similar, robust peacekeeping should not be confused with peace enforcement, as envisaged under HYPERLINK http//www.un.org/en/sections/un-charter/chapter-vii/ Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. Robust peacekeeping involves the use of force at the tactical level with the authorization of the Security Council and consent of the host nation and/or the main parties to the conflict. d. Resolution of the issue at hand. It is very important to ascertain that to what extent the UNPKO in a specific area has helped to resolve the issue at hand or to fulfil its mandate, as this will be the deciding factor in gauging the effectiveness of the operation. 14. Analysis of Case of east timor. The first years of independence were shaky. Australia sent a peacekeeping unit, followed by a U.N. force that grew to 1,600. Fighting among Timorese factions in 2006 required vigorous action by the peacekeepers to control. There was an assassination attempt against East Timors elected president in 2008. Nonetheless, the United Nations, including the peacekeepers, labored long and hard to train East Timors police to keep order and succeeded to the extent that the Timorese and others, including the heavily involved Australians, agreed that the U.N. peacekeepers could leave. There is no question that the U.N. presence helped a lot. No one would argue that East Timor could have reached the level of self-reliance it has now without the United Nations having played a constructive role. A look at East Timors history, characterized by resistance against the Portuguese, Japanese and Indonesians and eventually by infighting among its own people, argues that it could not establish nationhood easily, or certainly without external assistance. Thus, the country and its people should be commended. This success should encourage a U.N. role in achieving viability in other troubled states such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Somalia and South Sudan. We can regard the case of east timor as a partial success story for UNPKO as it was the first time that the UN was given complete control of the state, yet It is todate considered as a successful sequential Peacekeeping operation achiving its principles of effectiveness. 15. Analysis of the case of DRC. The problems with the UN peacekeeping force in the DRC have been numerous since it onset in 1999. Among the challenges faced by MONUSCO to end violence in the DRC are holdups in funding contributions delays between the UNSCs authorization to deploy personnel and their actual deployment misdiagnosis of the conflicts roots the inability to come up with a suitable exit strategy and worse, lack of a common language and training methods. Unity of command and execution is often difficult to achieve in UN operations due to the diversity of the units and staff officers from all over the world. Tensions and clashes among the peacekeepers had some damaging effects in the DRC missions, and operations have been undermined by countries withdrawing support. The involvement of regional organizations such as the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) did not necessarily bring greater stability to the region. Lacking resources, experience, training, and impartiality (because of shared ethnic groups), these organizations do not yet have the capabilities necessary to engage in long-term, independent peacekeeping. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the peacekeeping strategies has been hampered by political divisions over the principles of peace operations. This resulted in their failure to properly demobilize some militias and integrate them into the national army as part of the political transition hence set the stage for further armed confrontations after the conflict had officially been declared to be over. Another MONUSCOs greatest shortcoming is the failure of the international community to fully understand the root causes of the conflict in the DRC. According to a report on the Conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo prepared by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the conflicts in the DRC have multiple causes revolving around four clusters of factors economic factors, institutional factors, regional factors and global geopolitical factors. In short, the difficulties of implementing peace building measures stem largely from the peacemakers failure to grasp fully the situation. At 1.35 billion per year spent by the UN to maintain this standing army, and the lack of change that it has produced in maintaining the peace order, the UN should reassess the purpose of their troops and the protection they are actually providing for the civilians. CONCLUSION 16. After the end of Second War Congo, the DRC has continued to experience conflicts and instability despite consistent efforts at the national, regional, and international levels to negotiate the end of wars and consolidate peace. Although peace deals have been signed, insecurity remains an issue, especially in the eastern region. This has also become a major cause of concern, as they pose a multi-dimensional challenge to economic and human development in the country and in the region. The UN peacekeeping mission has also made progress in areas such as countering armed militia groups and monitoring human rights violations, and continues to play an important role in protecting civilians. However, it also faces significant challenges political volatility as the electoral process unfolds ongoing rebel violence in the east of the country expanded responsibilities without resources to match inadequate political will from the DRC government to improve security and governance in the country. Yet we can consider the UNPKO in East Timor as a success story for the nation which although still is struggling to stand on its own feet after the long intervention of the foreign forces. RECOMMENDATIONS 17. Below are 5 reccomendations of reform areas on priority basis, each of which is in desperate need of change, and each of which will require member state support to achieve. Accomplishing even just some of the below would go a long way in making the UN system more effective a. Make high-impact management, human resources, and accountability changes. Certain administrative changes are critical if the United Nations is to maximize its potential. For starters, how the organization fills its senior-most positions needs serious attention. The United Nations can and should fill its senior ranks through merit-based appointments, and it can do this in a way that achieves gender parity and a balance of individuals from different regions. The organization should require that all Under- and Assistant-Secretary-General level positions be advertised, and the job announcements should list the duties and qualifications for the job and effectively increase the pool of qualified women candidates. The United Nations also needs to do a lot more to improve its culture of accountability and ensure that all UN staff adhere to the highest ethical standards and that wrong-doing is not tolerated even a small number of allegations of wrong-doing or retaliation against whistle blowers can undermine all of the organizations excellent work. One way to do this is to conduct independent audits of agency and senior manager performance, and more closely tie promotions and terminations with results. b. Transform the United Nations development and humanitarian assistance architectures. The UN development system must reprioritize its work to focus on implementing the Sustainable Development Goalswithinexisting budget resources. As part of this effort, the United Nations should eliminate duplication among its various entities, enhance partnerships with the private sector and civil society, and improve transparency and accountability by publishing data and performance results online. The organization also must improve coherence among development and humanitarian assistance efforts to respond more effectively to protracted and recurrent crises and enhance emergency prevention and preparedness efforts. The world now has more forcibly displaced people than at any time since the Second World War. Former Secretary-General Ban convened the first World Humanitarian Summit last year to establish an ambitious reform agenda for creating a more strategic and effective humanitarian response system to, among other objectives, address this unprecedented displacement. c. Continue badly needed peacekeeping reforms. There are over 100,000 UN peacekeepers deployed in around the world. These brave men and women are on the frontlines of protecting civilians and contributing to sustainable peace, often in austere environments and with insufficient equipment and training. The United Nations and its member states have not done enough to improve the design and capabilities of these operations. Lastly, and perhaps most important, senior UN leadership in New York, mission leaders in the field, and individual units need to be held accountable more uniformly for failure to carry out their mandated tasks and for conduct and discipline issues, particularly sexual exploitation and abuse of the very people UN peacekeepers are supposed to protect. d. Strengthen the United Nations conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding capabilities. While UN peacekeeping missions are critical tools in the maintenance of international peace and security, they are expensive and should not be treated as substitutes for long-term solutions (as, unfortunately, some of them have become). The United Nations efforts to prevent conflict through analysis and early warning, mediation, and peacebuilding are equally important to global peace and security efforts. Efforts to address these deficiencies over the years too often have been met with resistance by some member states who see funding in support of these lines of effort as taking away from funding in support of development and other needs, leading to stalemates in UN budget discussions that hamper the organizations ability to be effective. e. Create a high-level UN coordinator for counterterrorism and countering violent extremism. The United Nations has made strides over the past decade in ramping up its counterterrorism and countering violent extremism work. But this has resulted in 37 entities across the UN system focused on these issues, with no single focal point to coordinate activities, shift resources, or plan strategically. The United Nations needs to create an Under-Secretary-General position to provide dedicated leadership on coordinating and implementing the organizations work to counter terrorism and violent extremism. Making the UN system more efficient and effective on these issues is critical to building member states capacities to counter todays threats and prevent future ones from emerging.Like any great organization, the United Nations must continually analyze its performance and make structural and operational changes to improve its results..

Accreting Black Holes and Neutron Stars
I am involved in studying the probably most extreme objects: black holes and neutron stars that attract matter from their surroundings. The complexity and extent of this field requires us to collaborate amongst different research institutes and to connect different astrophysical disciplines in a strongly interdisciplinary manner. My research has been funded by all sub-divisions of the "Netherlands Research School for Astronomy" (NOVA) and the DLR. The bottom part of this page is rather technical. Here, I want to bridge to the general public and let everyone access the fascinating science we are pushing forward. With these information on hand, it will be easier to understand the condensed information presented further below.
Black holes and neutron stars gather a lot of mass at very little space. Both can result from the collapse of a massive star at the end of its lifetime. During such a collapse, several processes that would keep matter in shape are overcome and a super-dense configuration of matter is formed. Neutron stars can be said to be the last stable (and most dense) configuration of matter known. They are about as massive as our sun but measure only tens of kilometers in diameter. In other cases, massive stars collapse all the way to black holes.
In black holes, the entire mass is found in one "singularity". The "size" of a black hole is pure definition and not the size of any structure - it is the (gravitational) radius at which nothing, not even light can escape the steep trough of space-time formed by the super-dense black hole. We call both neutron stars and black holes "compact objects".
When we neglect time, an analogy of space is a stretched sheet. Now, let's compare two objects of the same mass: a heavy marble (the black hole) and porous Dutch bread (our sun). The marble will curve the sheet deeper than the bread. Still, both will curve the sheet the same way towards its outer edge. A lighter marble thrown onto the sheet will therefore draw circles the same way around both central objects. Curvature of space is exactly what causes gravitational attraction. Likewise, Earth will orbit our sun the same way it would orbit a black hole of the same mass. The story changes only when an observer approaches the black hole very closely and experiences the localized and much deeper (and steeper) curvature of space-time (our sheet plus time as fourth dimension). Black holes therefore only have a very small area of influence. Here, all the fascinating effects come to play. Light, for example, has to follow space-time just as a marble on a curved sheet. Close to a black hole, light from your flashlight may come back to you and you may also see yourself from behind. But be aware of the extreme tidal forces that will stretch everything like a spaghetti. The steeper the sheet (or space) is curved, the stronger the tidal force.
Only the environment of black holes (and neutron stars) makes them the most efficient and energetic power plants in the universe. Everything that formed anywhere in the Universe has angular momentum and follows trajectories around a center of mass. If there is matter close to a black hole with angular momentum, it will thus spiral around the heavy central mass just like planets around their central star(s). This is true for black holes at all sizes and masses. Matter around the largest black holes of millions to billions of solar masses forms the centers of huge galaxies like our Milky Way. Matter around stellar-sized black holes may have originated from gas remaining after the explosion of the foregoing massive star.
Very close to the black hole, gas is assumed to be very dense. Friction can lead to an outward transport of angular momentum and therefore the formation of a disk. This disk can continuously feed the inner object with mass. Einstein's famous equation predicts that this mass is proportional to energy. During the "accretion of matter", this gravitational energy is released via radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and strong outflows of matter. The efficiency at which radiation is produced exceeds nuclear fusion by a factor of more than 14 and we can certainly call it the most efficient process to produce energy across the Universe. On Earth, however, we have limited possibilities to squeeze the energy contained in pure mass. For example, we burn it (one of our biggest problems), throw it somewhere, try to extract the kinetic energy carried by winds, or let reactions do their thing.
Accretion onto compact objects is an ubiquitous process in the Universe at all mass scales. It is a process of gradual in-spiral and not the consequence of black holes sucking in their environment in free-fall. Galaxies, where their central black hole happens to accrete matter and thus releases heaps of energy, are called "Active Galaxies". Our Milky Way is not an Active Galaxy. Note that, on smaller scales, neutron stars can also attract matter from their surroundings. For them, this process can not last forever. After accumulating a certain mass, an explosion is triggered that may lead to the formation of a black hole. Black holes, however, can merge and accrete matter over cosmological time scales and reach extreme masses. Merging black holes (and neutron stars) were just recently found by detecting gravitational wave signals from these mergers with Earth itself as detector material.
My research focuses on a better understanding of compact objects as cosmic power plants. To do so, me and my colleagues try to picture the invisible. The size of a supermassive black hole inside a distant galaxy is comparable to the size of a bacterium on the moon, which is much smaller than the best telescope could resolve. We therefore use some tricks. We study all forms of the released energy to infer the energizing processes very close to the black hole. We observe the light being emitted from these systems from the lowest to the highest energies (from the radio to the gamma-rays). The energy dependency of the light encodes valuable information on the processes we try to understand. Matter that is thrown out of these systems (the "exhaust"), however, can be observed and imaged in many cases. The most extreme of these outflows are "jets". They emerge from the centers of Active Galaxies and the environment of stellar-sized black holes inside galaxies. Jets are remaining focused at extremely large distances. They accelerate matter to nearly the speed of light, which also produces radiation. We can for example observe their strong radio light with large radio antennas on Earth.

DORCHESTER Town boss Callum Brooks has stressed the need for the Magpies to "box clever" in their Evo-Stik Southern Premier South relegation fight.
Brooks piloted Dorchester to a point during a 0-0 draw with Hendon on Saturday, concentrating on the Magpies' defence to ensure a minimum of a two-game cushion over Gosport in the bottom three.
But Gosport failed to read the script, beating promotion hopefuls Salisbury 2-0 away to revive their quest for survival.
Brooks told Echosport: "I always felt there might be a shock result somewhere. That's why I feel a point is even more important because it maintains a two-game swing.
"If Gosport won two games 1-0 and we lost them 1-0 we'd be level on goal difference. That point (at Hendon) could be absolutely huge.
"When you're in a relegation battle you have to box clever at times – points will get you there, no matter what way you amass them.
"To come away from (Hendon) with nothing I feel would have been tough to take."
Dorchester will host old enemy Steve Claridge on Saturday, the former Weymouth striker at the Salisbury helm as the Wiltshire club looks to guarantee its place in the play-offs.
Gosport, meanwhile, entertain Merthyr Town – the Welsh side still unsafe despite sitting in 13th with two games in hand on many of their immediate rivals.

Variables in PHP. Chapter 2 of Getting started with Basics of PHP
- October 5, 2013
- PHP Tutorial
In previous chapter we learned about basics of PHP including php syntax, commenting in php and how to output in php using echo. In this chapter we will learn all about PHP variables.
What does Variable stands in PHP ? For a new learner this would be the most important thing to be learned. Variables are "containers" for storing information.
In Simple terms, if you want to store any information and retrieve it later, you need to store that information in a VARIABLE.
http://php.net says,
Variables in PHP are represented by a dollar sign followed by the name of the variable. The variable name is case-sensitive.
Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores.
[notification type="notify" title="To be Noted"]$this is a special variable that can't be assigned.[/notification]
If we want to make a variable to store Names of students of class a good variable would be $Name instead of $blahblahblah. Again I would like to recall variables are CASE SENSITIVE. $footballmatch and $Footballmatch are different.
<?php $name = 'David'; $scoreNumberValue = 48; $scoreStringValue = '48'; /* $name contains David, we can use echo command to display David */ echo $name; /* Now we also have used two more variables to store data, and same data is stored in both that is 48, but there is a small difference. Case 1 $scoreNumberValue = 48; this variable stores number 48 and this can be used for mathematical calculations. Data stored is without quotes. Case 2 $scoreStringValue = '48'; this variable stores data in quotes, so php considers this as more of a string, so can not be used for mathematical calculations */ ?>
Hmm, that was easy, I hope you all learned something good out of this tutorial. Well this is beginning of something very good. The next chapter would cover Arithmetic Operators in PHP i.e how to do addition, subtraction, division, multiplication in php.

The accepted time period for alternative drugs, per the Nationwide Institute of Well being is actually Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and this is the term we will use throughout.
Nevertheless, in the latest previous, components reminiscent of aversion to observe the low earnings conventional therapeutic practices; gradual shift to extra profitable alternate livelihoods; better reliance on non-traditional therapeutic practices and high diploma of inroads by modern drugs, is threatening the normal medicinal traditions to proliferate additional.
Well being insurances cover partial or complete expenses shelled out for medical treatment. Have you thought of dietary and dietary therapies, train, biofeedback, natural treatments, meditation, Chinese language medication, homeopathic treatments, or possibly bach flower remedies.
Holistic well being care focuses on natural health, thoughts, emotional dimensions, mental features and religious consciousness together with nutritional, environmental and lifestyle factors. The high deductibles will encourage folks to be extra careful about their well being and well being care bills and can make them shop for bargains and be extra vigilant towards excesses in the health care industry.

In city areas, equivalent to Seattle, numerous integrative clinics have arisen where medical docs, naturopathic physicians, therapeutic massage therapists, acupuncturists, counselors, and others all work together. People weren't proud of them on the whole in contrast with individuals with extra traditional health care.
You have not been feeling well for quite some time so that you lastly determine you'll go see the doctor. Simply acknowledged, the muse stone of the therapeutic effect of therapeutic massage is what Hippocrates, the Father of Medication and an advocate of therapeutic massage, outlined as vis medicatrix naturae, or the body's natural recuperative powers, the life drive.
To most individuals, Western Drugs is scientific, more widely accepted and belongs to the main stream instruments toward health and wellness. A research from the Boston University Faculty of Drugs, USA now confirms that these commonly used medicine do indeed impair male sexual health.
