- This paper gives a brief historic overview of IAGP. When the first International Congress of Group Psychotherapy was held in Toronto, Canada, in 1954, J L Moreno initiated the formation of the International Committee of Group Psychotherapy whose name was later changed to the International Council of Group Psychotherapy. At the fifth International Congress of Group Psychotherapy held in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1973, the name was again changed and the International Association of Group Psychotherapy (IAGP) was born. Approximately every third year since that time an International Congress has taken place at different cities around the world. At the Board Meeting during the sixteenth International Congress held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2007, it was decided to change the name to the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes to reflect the larger interests of members. It will be under this name that the seventeenth International Congress will be held in Rome. In addition to the major International Congresses, Pacific Rim Regional Congresses and Regional Mediterranean Congresses have also been successfully organised, always attracting large numbers of participants. Since 1973 a number of subgroups have been formed for the different branches of Group Psychotherapy. The development of IAPG has been possible only because of the commitment of Board members and volunteers.

The loss of Ruth Williams as friend and colleague will be felt in all parts of the world for long years to come. For some organizations with which she had a particularly close association, the loss dashes many plans for accelerated programme development and organizational cooperation with the newly estab lished independent secretariat of the International Council on Social Welfare. The Statements reproduced here give some measure of the esteem in which Ruth was held by UNICEF, the Non-Governmental Committee in UNICEF, the NGO section of the United Nations, the International Association of Schools of Social Work, and the International Federation of Social Workers.

For years conservationists have urged that Cousin Island hi the Seychelles should be made a wildlife sanctuary, so it is welcome news that the International Council for Bird Preservation, aided by the British National Appeal of the World Wildlife Fund, has acquired an option to buy the island if it can raise the money hi tune. A research station will be set up, with a full-time warden to study the whole of this interesting archipelago hi the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles are important for the large numbers of endemic birds there. In the early eighteenth century, when colonists first settled hi the islands, about a dozen species occurred on most of them. But with increasing human settlements the birds decreased, some became extinct, and now most of the endemic ones are to be found on only one or two islands. In this article Malcolm Penny, a member of the 1964—65 Bristol University Seychelles Expedition, describes the island and the more interesting birds. The photographs of Cousin opposite are by him.

Corona Viruses

In December 2019, there was an outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 in Wuhan, then spread to other countries. The outbreak of a new coronavirus, termed officially by the world health organization (WHO) coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and the international committee on taxonomy of viruses, has suggested SARSCOV-2 as the name of the virus that causes covid-19 (1-3). It has large numbers of deaths, especially since its first identifications in Wuhan, China. Because of this continuous increase in numbers, the virus has become a focus of many scientists and researchers, so through these studies done on the cases of COVID-19, it is discovered that it isn't just attacking the lungs. Still, it's causing harm to many-body systems, especially in more advanced cases of COVID-19. This is expected for the COVID-19 virus because we also harm many-body systems through our experience in dealing with previous Corona Viruses (SARS AND MERS).

Set Up

Project MERIT is a special programme of international collaboration to Monitor Earth-Rotation and Intercompare the Techniques of observation and analysis. It was conceived in 1978 at IAU Symposium No 82 on Time and the Earth’s Rotation and a draft proposal was prepared by a working group set up by the Presidents of IAU Commissions 19 and 31. The proposal was endorsed at the IAU General Assembly at Montreal in 1979 August and at the IUGG General Assembly at Canberra in 1979 December, when the organisation and membership of the Working Group were modified accordingly. The Group is affiliated to the Commission on the International Coordination of Space Techniques for Geodesy and Geodynamics (CSTG), which is sponsored by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and by COSPAR. Project MERIT has received the support of the International Council of Scientific Unions and of many national organisations and observatories throughout the world.
