The 13th International Conference on Urban Health is taking place from April 1-4, 2016 in San Francisco, USA, and they are currently calling for abstracts. This conference, running with the Symposium on Geography and Urban Health, is one of the most prominent urban health events globally, and this year's theme is 'Place and Health'. At the launch event of the Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health, Yonette Thomas, the conference Chair, spoke of how they had received so few submissions that focused on mental health that at the most recent conference (and those that they had received could not manage the cost/logistics to attend the conference), they had to cancel that panel (watch the video below). This year the conference organizers state: We welcome national and international scholars, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and institutions in health and related sectors to (i) share findings, methodologies, and technologies and (ii) to strengthen and create research and education collaborations focusing on the urban environment as an important “place” in population health research, interventions, and policies." Do you have an interesting research project that might make a good submission? Let's see more mental health-focused presentations this year. Submit before December 8th. Topics that may be of particular interest:

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful.

I'm just too happy that everything is in place for me now. I would gladly recommend the use of spell to any one going through marriage problems and want to put an end to it by emailing Dr Emu through emutemple@gmail.com and that was where I got the help to restore my marriage.
