Peacekeeping by the United Nations is a role held by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations as "a unique and dynamic instrument developed by the Organization as a way to help countries torn by conflict to create the conditions for lasting peace." It is distinguished from both peacebuilding, peacemaking, and peace enforcement.
Peacekeepers monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they may have signed. Such assistance comes in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. Accordingly, UN peacekeepers (often referred to as Blue Berets or Blue Helmets because of their light blue berets or helmets) can include soldiers, police officers, and civilian personnel.
The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security. For this reason, the international community usually looks to the Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations through Chapter VI authorizations.
A flood is an overflow or accumulation of an expanse of water that submerges land.
Flood(s), The Flood, Flooded or Flooding may also refer to:
The Flood is an Australian roots music band led by Kevin Bennett. They won the Tamworth 2006 Golden Guitar Award for Vocal Group (or Duo of the Year) with their song "Hello Blue Sky". The Flood has been around for over a decade with James Gillard (various, Dancer), Tim Wedde (keyboard, accordion and now manager of the band) and most recently Scottie Hills on drums (recently replacing Steve Fearnley).
The Flood were also nominated for an ARIA award in 2006, in the Best Blues and Roots category.
The Flood: A musical play (1962) is a short biblical drama by Igor Stravinsky on the allegory of Noah, originally written as a work for television. It contains singing, spoken dialogue, and ballet sequences. It is in Stravinsky's late, serial style.
The work was premiered in the United States on the CBS Television Network on 14 June 1962, a production conducted by Robert Craft and choreographed by George Balanchine. Dramatic actors participating in the work included Laurence Harvey (Narrator), Sebastian Cabot (Noah), and Elsa Lanchester (Noah's Wife, which Lanchester played with a Cockney accent). Robert Craft also conducted the first staged performance, in Hamburg on 30 April 1963.
The narrative of The Flood juxtaposes the story of the Creation with that of Noah. The text was compiled by Robert Craft using material from Genesis and the York and Chester cycles of mystery plays. Excerpts from the Te Deum are sung by the chorus.
The work is scored for tenor soloist (Lucifer/Satan), two bass soloists (God), several spoken parts (a narrator, Satan, Eve, Noah, a caller, Noah's wife, son of Noah), chorus (SAT) and a large orchestra of 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 cors anglais, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, xylorimba, 3 tom-toms, harp, celesta, piano and strings.

For 75 years, UN peacekeeping has made a tangible difference in the lives of millions of people caught up in catastrophic conflict. Peacekeepers are ordinary people, working in dangerous and strenuous conditions to achieve extraordinary outcomes. They help prevent conflict, protect civilians, advance political solutions, and support democratic processes. Despite the challenges, peacekeepers persevere, alongside many partners, in the collective pursuit of peace. UN Peacekeeping’s Peace Begin With Me campaign thanks peacekeepers, past and present, for their service and sacrifice, and showcases the impact of peacekeepers and peace-makers who strive against all odds to build lasting peace. Their stories inspire us all to take action in the knowledge that “peace begins with me”. Find out more:...
United Nations - Since 1948, over a million peacekeepers have served under the United Nations flag. More than 120 countries contribute troops and police. Every day, peacekeepers act with courage and compassion in the face of great personal risk.
Hard data suggests that UN peacekeeping missions succeed most of the time. They significantly reduce civilian casualties, shorten conflicts, and help make peace agreements stick. In two thirds of completed missions since the Cold War, UN peacekeepers, who are recruited from many different countries around the world, have succeeded in fulfilling their mandate. In short, in the majority of cases, peacekeeping works.

Across your face, I see what you are
You wanna kill the sun, blot out the stars
I know you you're nothing,
you're so small
You're fuckin' nothing,
nothing at all
The sun burns on, it reminds me of you
The slit wrists of the sky bleeding into the blue
We twist beneath forever, but do you know what you've done?
Ants in the after birth,slugs under the sun
I could not wake the dead man dreaming
Acid party murder at the late show
Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior
I could not kill the dead man screaming
Eat my dead cock, oh yeah!
Eat my dead cock, oh yeah!
I have fallen deep in love with the sky
Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
The leaves will fall as everything must follow
Kill your idol come on jump into the void
Eat my cold shit
Everybody whispers were birds fall dead
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
Wiping flecks of foam twisting with rabies
Bloody we run thru these fields of dead daisies
How can I ever make you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth, slugs under the sun
I have fallen deep in love with sky
