the Difference between Massage and Bodywork

When a form of physical therapy is required, clients can get confused as to the difference between massage and bodywork which often, can cause them to ask for the wrong form of therapy for their needs. There are many who believe that a therapy type will be determined by the state in which the individual resides as each state may have a differing definition of what constitutes as massage or bodywork. However, when examined more closely, massage and bodywork prove to utilize a variety of processes which in turn, identifies the differing benefits of each therapy.

Bodywork is a longstanding form of therapy, practiced since the times of acupuncture and herbal medicine but it has only been recently that it has been recognized as a form of traditional Chinese medicine. The practice of bodywork utilizes a range of techniques that stem from Chinese medical theory, including well known procedures such as acupressure.

The actual practice of bodywork looks more towards treating the body, mind and spirit as one, whereas massage focuses on just the body. The therapy also looks at the energy field of the person, or Oi as it is referred to as, that environs the body with pressure. Bodywork therapy techniques are utilized in order to balance the energy field of the individual, in a bid to restore health and wellbeing, working towards maintains a good level of health. All techniques involved in bodywork use touch, but the pressure of the touch may vary depending on the areas that require the most therapy. In some instances, a bodywork therapist may also implement herbs and hot/cold items.

Regular bouts of bodywork therapy can help to relive the body of reoccurring aches and pains that are related to stress or illness. Due to the Chinese medicine theories that are adopted, many also express a decrease in disease related symptoms. The Chinese believe that regular bodywork can help to improve the health of an individual's Oi which in turn, will help promote good general health.

Where massage therapy differs is that it is commonly used as a form of relaxation or general wellbeing as opposed to aiding health. In simple terms, massage therapy involves the manipulation of the body's soft tissues through the use of kneading the skin and varying pressures. Massage therapy can also be adopted in a range of extremes, from simple rubbing of the skin to stimulate blood circulation and remove knots in the muscle, to more extreme therapies that implement items such as hot stones which provide deep muscle stimulation.

Massage is a popular indulgence for many who utilize it in order to relieve stress and treat muscle tension that can be caused from everyday life. However, it is also beneficial for those who suffer from sports injuries or who experience pain due to emotional issues. Frequent massages are believed to help reduce blood pressure, relieve depression and increase the body's immune system.

When examined simply, both massage and bodywork involve processes that are intended to treat the body in some form or another. Although massage is utilized for health and relaxation purposes, bodywork is more strongly aimed to provide health benefits and is less seen as a form of indulgence. Furthermore, bodywork involves a number of traditional therapy processes.

the "School of the Future" will open in Kyiv in September 2011

New campus is a long-awaited extension to the school, which has been working in the Nivky region for a long time. This new campus has been conceived initially as a primary and nursery school. Plans are in place to scale the Pechersk school up to include secondary school pupils in 2012.

The Pechersk complex lies within the Novopechersky Lypky residential district. The building is brand new and has been adapted to meet the strict requirements of a contemporary ‘School of the Future'. The design philosophy has focused on the maximization of natural light and interconnectivity - to enable enhanced communication.

The British International School has entered into partnership with leaders in the field of computer technologies and advanced learning products, these include: Hewlett-Packard, iLand - Apple authorized reseller in Ukraine, and Leater - official representative of Smart in Ukraine.

Thanks to the support of iLand the school will be outfitted with an Apple ‘computer lab of the future' for information technologies, humanities and science lessons. Hewlett-Packard will be supplying equipment to meet the school's computing and networking needs and Smart will equip classrooms with the very latest interactive ‘smart-board' technology.

The new school will offer two education programmes that will run in parallel. The International Baccalaureate curriculum will allow successful graduates to apply directly to top international Universities. This programme will be taught in English by native speakers from the UK, Canada, Australia, and the USA.

The new school is also fully certified and licensed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Sciences to teach the Ukrainian national curriculum, culminating in a Ukrainian Diploma of Secondary Education (Atestat).

The British International School gives a special attention to the rounded development of students. All school students will study music, drama and arts. Physical education and sports also rank very highly in the curriculum and, in addition to regular physical exercise, pupils will have an access to a new swimming pool, tennis courts, a sports field where they will learn the stimulating art of cricket and the dexterity of rugby and football. The school is also investigating summertime training in sailing on the Kyiv Sea.

"When we first started thinking about opening a new school, we decided, that we would use the best educational system in the world as an example - the teaching system that is used by the British schools. I graduated myself from the school in the UK. That is why I have ensured that the education system of the British International School has all the features of the very best educational establishments in Great Britain", stated Jonathan Edwards, the Head of the Board of the British International School.

"In order to learn children need a safe, friendly and open environment, a place where they can laugh and play just as much as study. This is exactly the environment we intend to create. I can assure you all that the new school really will be a school of the future, not just in the systems we use to teach, but also in our approach to education",  commented Olga Zastavna, the General Director of the British International School.

"After it was announced that the British International School was opening a new campus on the territory of the Novopechersky Lipky residential district, we saw with our own eyes the increase in interest of prospect clients. The partnership between the British International School and Novopechersky Lipky is a mutually beneficial relationship between two strong and respected brands", said Olesia Romanenko, Head of Marketing and Sales in the Novopechersky Lipky residential district.

"We are sure, that the Apple technologies that will be used in the British International School will make it possible to create a truly modern approach to education.  We look forward to teachers and students being able to enjoy the unique intuitive experience provided by Apple technologies, which will inject great motivation and keen interest into the learning process. This in turn will enable the school to reach its main goal – to raise the standards of education, that will give students the strongest foundations for the rest of their life", said Uriy Vlasuk, Director of iLand, Apple authorized reseller in Ukraine.

"Hewlett-Packard Company has a rich experience of participation in such social projects in different countries. Our children should have the most favourable conditions for obtaining valuable knowledge in the field of information technology as well as in the others. Project ‘School of the Future' (British International School) is a very important investment in future of our children and in Ukrainian society on the whole. The task of Hewlett-Packard in this project - to equip the school's educational space according to the latest standards of education technology using our best developments. By giving children the opportunity to work with the latest computer technologies in school, we help them to quickly master technological innovations, and thus to be better prepared for the future", commented Katerina Gurenko, PSG Country Marketing Lead in Ukraine.

ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant

ID Millennium is a high quality silicone based lubricant. The consistency of ID Millennium feels very thin, yet it feels very smooth and sleek. ID Millennium coats the skin very easily and makes everything slide with little friction. If you have never used ID Millennium before then you may be surprised at the feel of it. It is a totally different experience than using water based lubricant such as ID Glide and may not suit you at all. Others prefer the ID Millennium over the ID Glide.
ID Millennium contains very few ingredients (Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, and Dimethiconol) and ID Millennium is glycerine-free and paraben-free, making it a preferred choice for those prone to yeast infections and reactions to chemical additives who prefer the more natural product.
ID Millennium cannot be used with silicone based toys as the toy will be damaged and can sometimes even dissolve. If you ever combine ID Millennium with water based lube such as ID Glide then remember that the silicone contained in the mix is also sufficient to damage toys.
ID Millennium is great as a skin moisturizer, works great for an intimate massage or shaving and shines latex and rubber wear to a shiny sparkle. ID Millennium needs a good scrub with soap and water to remove it from the skin, but it also stays in place under water. Great for the shower, bath and general underwater fun!
Most people think of ID Millennium and in general Silicone Lubricants to be new and modern. In reality silicone lubricant has been used in the production of condoms for many years because silicone won’t dry up, is safe with condoms and is very slippy!
Silicone lube is hard to remove from sheets and can stain so be careful how much you use. On the plus side a small amount goes a long way and lasts a long time. The feel of silicone lube does not suit everyone and unfortunately it has a pretty bad taste. If it's taste you are after then go for the ID Juicy Lube range instead but don’t forget to give it a try it’s well worth the experience.

Men in Nursing

Recent studies show that the number of men entering careers in nursing is expected to rise over coming years. To some, this may be somewhat shocking as traditionally, it was only women who filled the role of nurse which has made the female nurse somewhat of a stereotype. Nevertheless, as issues with sexual discrimination lessen, this stereotype has slowly diminished although in some cases, male nurses are still being faced with a number of prejudices.

Traditionally, the field of nursing was a predominately female orientated field, meaning that male nurses were disallowed entry into delivery rooms and were only authorized to treat male patients. Furthermore, nursing textbooks only mentioned the male gender in regards to male patients-the idea of male nurses being allowed within the profession was simply unheard of. However, as we crept towards the 21st century, many of the beliefs regarding male nurses swiftly disappeared which in turn, has helped to increase the number of men within the nursing profession.

Studies show that around 5.4% of the 2.1 million R.N's in America employ male nurses, but it is strongly believed that this low number could stem from a lack of encouragement in regards to young men who wish to take that first step into the profession. However, the US is currently experiencing a great shortage of nurses, so the demand for qualified professionals has never been greater- regardless of gender. Nevertheless, it has never been a greater time for males to join the profession as not only will a qualification in nursing provide them with a myriad of career opportunities, but they can also expect to earn a good salary.

Contrary to popular belief, a nursing qualification can provide unlimited career opportunities for both male and female nurses. Those who strive to work in fast-paced, adrenaline filled environment may be suited to work as a critical care nurse for the military. Should a nurse possess a thirst to be involved in medical advances, a career as a researcher of practitioner will enable them to utilize and investigate into the latest medical technologies and discoveries. Furthermore, a great advantage of nursing is that many qualified nurses are not bound to a 9-5 timetable, meaning they can often schedule work around their family commitments. In terms of salary, average salaries for male nurse's fall in the range of $40,000 per annum, with a vast majority of US based nurses currently earning around $65,000 per annum. However, salaries can be greatly affected by the location in which you reside and also the qualifications you possess. For example, any male nurse looking to increase their opportunities with further studying can expect to earn more.

Nursing schools today welcome students of all genders and cultures meaning that it has never been easier for men to enter their desired profession. By compiling thorough research into the nursing schools that will offer you the level of training and experience you require, you will be more able to jump start your career in nursing and grab your open opportunity with both hands.
