What a pity the PKRA World Cup 2014 in Cabarete Dominican Republic is still not confirmed.
Last PKRA competition in Cabarete took place in 2010, when Ariel Corniel was claimed the number one. Cabarete is one of the best places in the world for kitesurfing,
why can't we make it happen again?
We have so much to offer: the best weather conditions, perfect strong wind and warm ocean water, the best riders like Alex Soto (www.alex-soto.com), Robinson Hilario (second place in PKRA Panama this year), Posito, Luis, Joselito and many others! It's very sad the North Coast can't be again the host of this important international kitesurfing event this year...
The next PKRA event, the Mondial du Vent in Leucate France, starting next weekend on April 26!

Recent webinars, eBooks — Bronchoscopy
♦ May 2017 — "Infection Prevention During Bronchoscopy — an Update" (Webinar) — Presented by Lawrence F Muscarella, PhD | Sponsor: AMBU USA | (Note: Attendees who take a quiz at the end of the presentation are eligible for receiving CEUs.)
♦ November 2016 — "Infection Prevention During Bronchoscopy" (Webinar) — Presented by Drs. Atul Mehta MD and Lawrence F Muscarella, PhD (November 2016) | Sponsor: AMBU USA | Test your knowledge: Take an on-line quiz. | Note: This presentation does not provide CEUs to attendees.
Infection control webinars, eBooks
In addition to "superbugs," Dr. Muscarella can present an on-line, educational, customized virtual lecture, or webinar, to healthcare staff members discussing any one of several infection control and endoscope reprocessing topics. Dr. Muscarella can also author an eBook about a certain timely topic.
Contact Dr. Muscarella — email@example.com — to request he prepare an on-line webinar for your hospital or company.
Lecture topics
Dr. Muscarella has presented a number of timely topics to healthcare practitioners and manufacturers through the years, including (but are not limited to):
- the risk of transmission of "CRE" during gastrointestinal endoscopy and bronchoscopy;
- the principles of disinfection and sterilization;
- the modes of disease transmission;
- how to select an appropriate sterilization process for a specific instrument;
- the risk management in the healthcare setting; and
- design controls and when a manufacturer should submit a 510(k) application.
Attendees to Dr. Muscarella's webinars usually can receive continuing educational units, or "CEUs" (provided the medical facility applies for and is approved to offer these units), by taking a quiz after the presentation.
Software needed, other equipment
Dr. Muscarella's prepares his webinars using Microsoft PowerPoint, which your staff members than view remotely at a scheduled time typically using audio-visual (AV) software provided by the medical facility (or manufacturer).
The software used to view Dr. Muscarella PowerPoint webinars may be any of the following, among others:
- Adobe Connect
- Google+ Hangouts
- GoToMeeting
- Skype
- Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation Sharing
- and other software packages.
Staff members "attend" and participate in Dr. Muscarella's webinars via a personal computer or tablet.
This cost-effective service provides your staff with the opportunity to watch Dr. Muscarella's infection control lecture (average time = 45 minutes) and to ask questions (average time = 15 minutes).
Lectures range in cost from $1500 and up, with the average all-inclusive cost of $2500. In most cases, this cost covers Dr. Muscarella's time to prepare the lecture, present it on-line (remotely), and to answer questions afterwards.
This all-inclusive price is the same no matter how many of your staff members attend.
Rationale for remote webinars
It is always preferred that a lecturer present a timely topic in person. But, sometimes the costs of airline tickets, hotel reservations, and meals required to host a speaker can be expensive.
Dr. Muscarella's remote lectures, which he presents to your staff members from his office via a personal computer provide a cost-effective alternative that can save thousands of dollars compared to hosting a speaker on site.
What's most important is the knowledge learned from and the lessons taught during a webinar, much more so than where the lecture originates.
Remember education
Remember SGNA recommends that GI endoscopy units ensure their staff are educated about the prevention of CRE transmissions and infections during GI endoscopy.

There is a reason that you do not share bad news with Alzheimer's patients. You can tell your loved one 20 amazing things that are happening and one single bad thing and that is what they will focus on. That one bad piece of information. They will become agitated and out of sorts. They will lose sleep and in the case of my mother who has always suffered from a "nervous stomach", they can get very sick from bad news.
I try at all costs to shelter momma from anything that I think will cause this unwanted disruption in our lives, but it isn't always easy. We found out last night that my older brother who lives a couple of states away has fallen and broken his leg. He has already had a lot of medical issues and that has made this latest development a pretty big set back. I have explained to family members over and over that you don't share this kind of information with mom anymore, but being that they don't live close to us I guess they don't see the damage that they are doing to her.
We have a trip planned to see them in two weeks to celebrate both mom and my brother's birthdays (they are two days apart). Between all the craziness that has been going on in our lives and his medical issues plus the fact that we haven't seen him in about two years. I wish the news had waited until we arrived, but this time it couldn't really be helped since we had to change certain aspects of the trip. She will make herself sick for the next two weeks stressing out about him and no amount of reassurance will fix it.
Since becoming a full-time caregiver I have learned to pretty much live without sleep. I average about 4 hours a night off and on. I keep one ear tuned into the coming and goings from mom's room all night. I heard her "on the hamster wheel" pretty much all night last night so we are both working on about 2 hours today.
The "hamster wheel" is our term (my husband and mine) for the constant opening and closing of dresser drawers throughout the night. My bedroom is right across the hall and this sounds like a hamster that is running on one of those little wheels. She starts at one end and works her way around the room over and over and over and over (get the picture). At one or two in the morning, this can and will drive you crazy, but there is nothing to be done about it. For some reason, this seems to calm her down a little bit and well, we have just learned to live with it. I can expect the same thing to occur every night for the next two weeks.
I have written before about how important it is for family members to not only be supportive of the caregiver but to take the time to learn about the disease itself. If a person spends time with an AD patient and talks about all the bad things going on in their lives this is not helping the caregiver. It is making their job so much harder than it is already.

I'm with you on this one and avoid sharing bad news with my wife. Recently professional staff have challenged Maureen's denial of the implications of her condition. I think this has scared her out of her wits and is far from a person-centred approach. Could this have been an occasion of ignorance being bliss? I would be interested on your view on this matter

This tall dude with Chinese eyes smiled at me and asked it I liked the Grateful Dead. I said sure and he told me to hold out my hand. This piqued my curiosity so I put my palm out and he plopped a big drop of liquid on it. It was like that Steve McQueen moment from the movie Papillon – the moment when the leper holds his cigar out to Papillon (McQueen) and without flinching, has him smoke it. The leper smiles at him and says "how did you know I wasn't a wet leper?" McQueen replies "I didn't". That's the kind of moment I had when I licked the clear liquid off my palm. I noticed as he watched me, his eyes opened up a bit and then he started apologizing for giving me way too much. He said he didn't know the stuff would come out of his dropper that fast and admitted he might have given me anywhere from 4 to 8 doses of liquid LSD.
In hindsight, I see that as my perfect moment of karma and happenstance, married to one another that evening to be the final statement on my year long journey seeking higher knowledge (once again). At the beginning of 2016, I turned sixty and I told myself I would mark the occasion by using the coming year to explore a spiritual quest I started back in my twenties. Back then I was grabbing up books on Transcendental Meditation, the writings of Castaneda, the Bible, Zen Buddhism…anything and everything spiritual, I searched out. My head became twisted with theories and beliefs and the best thing at that moment for me to was what some Zen writing told me to do; walk away from all the learning, for a long period of time, then come back to it. My sixtieth birthday seemed like a perfect time to do just that; it was because of the even number. I could have done that shit at 59 or 61, but 60 seemed nice and round so that's how I stood. I'd give it a year's time and see how I felt about continuing the quest, or throw it all in. So during January 2016 I once again studied and contemplated spiritual matters while the outside world pummeled me (and everybody in America) with electing the monster we have come to know as Donald Trump, our next President. We all got to witness the shock and horror of this country becoming a puddle of venom and remorse raging war against one another. Fuck the enemy – we are the enemy. While all sides of the political voting spectrum argued against one another, progress came to a standstill and Americans once again voted in a council of crooks to keep us all free. Trump is just the cherry on the icing on the cake of the Republican Party, but not even devoted, old school Republicans can get behind him too strong. A splinter sect of voters have sprung up from the Conservative ring and this bastard conglomeration was to become known as the Alt Right.The Left has become dismantled (once again) as we see President Obama in his final days of office leave a void of strength with Democrats. Bills sneak in to give Congress even more power over the citizens of America than they already have, yet any real progress in growth is at a stalemate. Catastrophes and bloodshed but no great achievements. I couldn't stomach listening to all the political cynicism parties and tried to immerse myself in December's holiday by following my spiritual quest…that, mixed in with good visits to friends and great people-in person, rather than online. This led me through the New Year and out on that long holiday break to a local place to shoot pool and relax. I keep ignoring the laws on weed in this town and that got me and a friend kicked out of one bar and down the road to another bar, where we ran into the man with the Chinese eyes.
The dose was strong but this wasn't my first rodeo. I have an extensive past related to strong batch acid and kept my wits while wading through the strange world it created. Besides, I didn't have much choice at that point, in regards to the amount of acid I took. As an infamous doctor once said, you buy the ticket, you take the ride. I rolled the dice when I licked my hand. I strolled around alone on the streets at four in the morning, bizarre creatures running around me and because it was such a hefty dose, the effects would carry on into the next evening. I made it to the shelter of The Church and pulled up some mindless babble on talk radio and forced myself to relax and focus on those spiritual thoughts I had reviewed over the year. While the effects wore down I reviewed spiritual thoughts and talk radio chattered away about Donald Trump-our next President.

Report Comment Writer
Here is a report writer and comment bank that I put together in a mad fit of procrastination.
If you prefer here is an Excel version (Report Writer).
It is a Google Sheet with linked sheets. The first sheet is the Report Writer with it has a column for the name of the student and then columns for drop-down menu selection of the comments. I find this structure really useful for making sure that I hit all the points I want to in a report. The final column uses the =CONCATENATE(string 1, " ", String 2, " ", ...) function to string all the different cells together in a coherent (as much as my reports are ever coherent) fashion. Not the " " places a space between the comments (Google Sheets - like Excel - removes the space at the end of the text in the cell).
The drop-down menus come from a "Data Validation" where the list is a data range from Sheet 2. This data range is populated with cannibalized comments from previous reports.
Please feel free to share and use this as you want. I've set the link to view only which means you should be able to make a copy of it to edit and play with yourself.

Brands and business are one in the same. You need to see growth and evolution to know that they are alive and doing well.
Many people are confused concerning how to proactively grow their personal brands.
As with business, your brands are a strategy. Now part of that strategy is an organic, evolution. The rest is planning to maximize your daily, weekly, and monthly efforts into a positively evolving brand.
Here are my BIG 10 ways to grow your personal brand.
Review your strategy and goals daily. By reviewing your strategy and goals at least once a day you remind yourself exactly what you are working towards and going after.
2. Keep your head in the game. If that is creating daily affirmations that speak to you, journaling, or reading an inspirational book- you must keep your mind positive. Setbacks will come. You need a system that is always reminding you that setbacks are just the stepping stones of success.
3. Say "yes" more than "no." Say "yes" at least once to new opportunities, events, or people who seem to be in alignment with what you are all about.
4. Do 1 thing that scares you. Once a week do something that scares you. It could be little or big. But just do it. Don't dread about it. Just do it.
5. Be real at least once a week. Most of us edit, quaff, and refine the life out of what we really want to say on social media. At least once a week, post what you really want to say, how you really want to say it.
6. Ask. The hardest step for most people to take, Ask. We live in a day and age where being a solo superhero is praised, that to ask for something we need feels, well, awfully needy. We all have needs, wants, and desires. So ask and see what you receive.
7. Schedule. There is difference between a calendar, a "to do" list, and a schedule. A calendar tells you of upcoming appointments and what not. A "to do" list tells you what you need to accomplish. The schedule makes it all happen. Far too many of us have calendars and "to do" lists, but no schedules allowing our brains to know exactly when the to do is getting done.
8. Weekly adventures. And speaking of schedules, schedule times for weekly adventures. Get out of your daily routine and go someplace new, explore a museum, a small town, take a road trip, take a big trip, whatever you do go have fun! Fun helps you see life, work, and your problems in a new light. Plus your weekly adventures are great ways to have online followers engage with you on a deeper, real world level.
9. Paid play. Stop viewing work as work. One of the most common questions to get asked is, "What are you doing today?" I always say "work." And the response for the most part is "I'm sorry." Why be? Work is paid play. It isn't drudgery, difficult, or depressing. Yes, work can be challenging, have its stressful moments, and sometimes can feel like it is "life or death." But the truth is we all want our work to be paid play. Start thinking about it that way first and then it will be that way.
10. Giveback. However you giveback do it. Do it anonymously without any "look at me" posts. Giving back should come from the heart and be about a service. Promoting how amazing you are is a media op. And though a "media op" may seem like the most logical way to build your personal brand, in today's age it isn't. Serve who you love, how you love and trust me the right people will always take notice. Let the promotion come to you,
Growing your personal brand will start as a strategy. Soon enough it will be your natural way of life.

I Love Fidelity Title and Escrow and have been a loyal customer for years, working with Escrow Agent Kelly Bell, in Elk Grove. I am working on a loan file which, sadly, is not utilizing Fidelity as the Title & Escrow firm for the transaction. However, knowing Kelly is always willing to assist - I asked her for a favor to track down some ownership information for a property...I received a response right away from her colleague in Stockton, JR Ballesteros. Not only did JR provide me with helpful documentation, he further assisted me in who to call (City Planning) for the additional information I needed to complete my documentation. Great Team Work and Fabulous Customer Service...as I have come to know is synonymous with Kelly, Fidelity and her Team! Thank you all, very very appreciated and highly recommended. Kat

Realtor, Carrington Real Estate Services
I have worked with Kelly since 2005. Kelly is always on the ball and has never let me down! I just worked with another escrow office on a listing and was highly disappointed. I went to that company because they offered a 15% discount on the owners title. In the future I would gladly credit my buyer or seller 15% rather than work with that company again.
Thanks Kelly for all you hard work!

As a mortgage lender who goes to dozens of signings I've dealt with all the title companies. I was very impressed with Kelly Bell and her team. She was always very responsive and had a very upbeat vibe. As a mortgage lender it really helps to work with real estate professionals that help contribute to a great experience for the client.
Kelly actually made a point to introduce herself to the client and make him feel special. It's a bid deal buying a house and I appreciate her making the client feel important.

The transaction with her went extremely smooth , her calculations were accurate the first time around in her estimated HUD .

Kelly is an excellent Escrow Officer. I have used her as my Escrow Officer for many years. She is helpful and always ready to accommodate me and my clients whenever necessary.
We just closed a problem escrow which required skill and tenacity on all parties. Kelly was right there through it all. It was probably the most difficult escrow in all my 36+ years in real estate. This escrow was dealing with a for sale by owner who didn't know what cooperation meant.
Thank you Kelly, you were right there from the beginning to the end and made it happen.

ILoveBiafra Forum › Forums › Biafran History › 6 mistakes Ojukwu made during Biafra war
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by imilateam 11 months, 2 weeks ago.
September 4, 2018 at 1:25 pm #60
On Tuesday, May 30, the pro-Biafra people carried out a sit-home exercise in remembrance of the heroes and heroines of Biafra.
Ojukwu is a name that rings a bell when it comes to Biafra and Nigerian history. He is heralded as the veteran who spearheaded the attempted secession of the Igbo people.
But beyond the heroic stories that have been heard about Ojukwu, there are certain bad decisions he took during the war. Below are the 6 major mistakes Ojukwu made during the Biafra war.
1. Nzeogwu's death
Nzogwu the Great! People rumoured that he was afraid Nzeogwu will challenge his authority after the war. Nzogwu was defined as a man who would stop at nothing to ensure that those in power do not abuse it.
2. Dethroning generals
The stories have been told of how Ojukwu dethroned his generals (because they tried to advise him) and made civilians his war generals! eg. Colonel Achuzia.
3. Going into battle without solid plans
It is said that Ojukwu was in the habit of not planning his battles, he just fought with emotion.
There are reports that everyone who tried to advise him got deposed and thrown into jail.
A biafran high ranking officer once narrated in his book that he drove from Enugu to the war front at abakaliki only to discover that Biafran soldiers who were droped by Ojukwu and were facing the Nigerian superior military might punishment didnt even dig trenches.
This he said prevented the Nigerian tanks from over running the Biafrans on the very first day of battle!READ ALSO OBJ's Letter To Buhari Vindicates Nnamdi Kanu's Philosophy – IPOB
Ojukwu did not plan the preparation of the war! He just started fighting with the available resources.
He should have got big countries like America and Britain to support Biafra (atleast in exchange of some oil).
Gowon for instance agreed with Cameroun not to let Biafrans get weapon supplies from the camerounian border in exchange for the Bakassi peninsula. This alone made the Biafran resistance very miserable.
4. Child-Soldiers
When the men had been killed, Ojukwu started 'arming' children and using them as his soldiers for battle! A development that could have been seen as a war crime.
5. Porters
Biafran medics never had stretchers from day one, they were called porters because they were often made up of four men who would carry the wounded on their head and run to the rear of the battle field.
This was to get worse in the third year of the war as Biafran soldiers left their wounded and fled battle fields!
6. Truce
General Ojukwu should have more intelligently accepted a truce a year or two before the end of the war when men like Zik, Akanu Ibiam and a host of others, advised him it was impossible to win the war.
He Refused to Quit the war after the first year on seeing that the Igbos cant win.
When the war became so bitter and the Biafran weapons got finished, he would load hundreds of young men into trailers and arm them with clubs and machetes and dump them at the war front.READ ALSO Gowon MUST Apologize To Igbos – Bishop Udeh
He would tell the young men that 'hausas' are fools. 'Kill them all' .
The nigerian war tank will just lower its 50s and open fire on 'unarmed' biafran soldiers in the war front! There is no doubt that Ojukwu was a Biafra patriot and a warrior of great courage.
He gave his all to the war, surviving by the whiskers.However, like we all humans, we have our flaws, and history is recorded so that mistakes of the past are not repeated.

Exploiting the Archives! Bronson Pinchot's Big, Big Mouth
Veteran Nathan Rabin's Happy Place watchers might have noticed that this has so far been an interview-free zone. There is a very good reason for that: I do not like doing interviews. I would go so far as to say that I hate doing them, although when I look back at my career, some of the pieces that I'm proudest of are interviews.
Interviews have historically whipped up tsunamis of anxiety and stress within me, so I've never enjoyed doing them. What I enjoy is the feeling of accomplishment and connection that comes with doing a good interview, but not to the extent that I can see myself doing a whole lot of interviews in the future.
As someone who has wrestled with crippling shyness, self-consciousness and self-hatred my entire life, I can never quite shake the conviction that no one, but no one, actually wants to talk to me. Oh sure, they might want to talk to The A.V Club when they've got a project to promote, and for 16 years, a big part of my identity was being part of The A.V. Club but whenever I actually got on the phone my shyness, self-consciousness and self-loathing would kick in and I'd assume that whoever was on the other end of the line was just waiting for the excruciating torment of being professionally obligated to communicate with me to be over.
A big exception is Random Roles. I loved doing Random Roles because I hate formulating questions. No matter how hard I worked on them, they all sound so formal and stiff, so predictable and self-regarding. The genius of Random Roles was that I didn't have to write and ask pointed questions anymore.
If I wanted to ask someone about, say, starring in Full Metal Jacket I could just say to Matthew Modine, "So, Full Metal Jacket, huh? Tell me about that?" and five minutes later I had an awesome anecdote about being young and intense and overwhelmed and under the thumb of a dude like Stanley Kubrick.
Usually within the first couple of answers you could tell whether a subject would be good for Random Roles. I remember interviewing a young T.J Miller for it, for example, and the stories behind all of his roles was, "I blew them away with my hilarious improvisation and spontaneous hilarity" and I wanted to follow up, "Would you mind imbuing your answers with some of that outrageous improvisation and spontaneous hilarity? Because your answers are really boring and not funny."
But far and away my most memorable Random Roles interview was with Bronson Pinchot. When we were offered a Pinchot interview in connection with some direct-to-video dross I didn't bother watching, my response was, "Why the hell not?" That's actually been the thinking behind much of my career.
I watched Perfect Strangers religiously as a child, and Pinchot scored supporting roles in some huge, hugely icon 1980s and 1990s motion pictures like Risky Business, After Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, First Wives Club, Courage Under Fire and True Romance, so I knew he had a lot to talk about.
The interview started off pleasantly enough, but then we got to Risky Business and Pinchot had this to say about his co-star Tom Cruise, one of the most famous and powerful people in the biz: "We didn't know it was going to be a big hit. We thought Tom [Cruise] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. He had spent some formative time with Sean Penn—we were all very young at the time, Tom was 20, I was 23. Tom had picked up this knack of calling everyone by their character names, because that would probably make your performance better, and I don't agree with that. I think that acting is acting, and the rest of the time, you should be you, but he called us all by our character names. He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, "You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?" I mean, his lingo was larded with the most… There was no basis for it. It was like, "It's a nice day, I'm glad there are no gay people standing here." Very, very strange.
Years and years later when people started to torment him with that, I used to think "God, that's really fitting, because he tormented a lot of people as a 20-year-old." He made such a big deal about it. Same thing with Eddie Murphy—I remember somebody calling and saying, "You'll never guess who was just caught with a transvestite!" [Laughs.] And I remember thinking that seemed fitting, because there are certain people in showbiz who make it an agenda, every third sentence has to have something knocking that life choice, and you think, "What are you doing?" Like, these women came up to me in a restaurant—I was wearing a bright red shirt, and I was with some friends, and they said, "Would you like to join our club? We wear red." What kind of choice is that? If you spent many years in the theater, and then you show up in movies, and people have on their to-do list for the day that they're going to make a comment every third sentence, it strikes you as very strange. I just thought it was very funny that years later, that became his bugaboo. Which is a nice 1930s term I thought you'd enjoy."
At that point I knew I had an interview that would be remembered and talked about long after my others had been forgotten. Here was a man who was dying to communicate the ugliness and hypocrisy of Hollywood and he had chosen me as his vessel.
The barbed comments didn't end there. Pinchot did not give a mad-ass fuck about who he offended with his words, so his commentary on Courage Under Fire star Denzel Washington was, if anything, even more incendiary.
This wasn't just an interview to promote a direct-to-video movie nobody could possibly be interested in. Nope, the interview became news and changed the way Pinchot was seen both inside the business and outside of it.
Pinchot even called me later on to ask what I'd thought of all the brouhaha surrounding the talk, which was a little weird but then what part of that experience wasn't?
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I should do interviews again, but it's doubtful I will ever conduct another one as endlessly juicy as my legendary one-on-one with the angry dude from Perfect Strangers.

What Great Brands Do That Good Brands Don't in Content Marketing
Okay content is easy. Killer content is hard. This nifty eBook shows you the difference, based on our real-world work with dozens of brands. A must-read!
Besieged by blog posts, articles, and columns about social media and content marketing? I have a solution.
Last week, I wrote about our new blog and editorial calendar, coming soon to this very space. Today, news of our brand-new email service….One Social Thing. (www.OneSocialThing.com)
One Social Thing takes content curation to its logical conclusion. The Convince & Convert team (with help from you, read on!) figures out the single most important and interesting content about social media and content marketing, and sends it to you at the end of every day.
That's it. The easiest to digest, most useful email update service around (we think). And of course, it's free.
Here's a sample of One Social Thing, so you can see the clean lines and smell the rich, Corinthian leather.
If you're already a subscriber, thanks for your support. If not, please give it a try!
We spend a ton of time every day seeking and reading and evaluating content for our Twitter, Facebook, and One Social Thing programs (and soon, Google +). But we don't see it all. If you find something you think is a MUST READ in social media and content marketing, please tweet it out with the #OneSocialThing hash tag. Not necessarily breaking news (we're not Mashable) but the most important/useful thing of the day.
If we use your suggestion in an issue, we'll mention you in the email (with a link), and tweet our thanks. Maybe something else extra-special for folks that really get behind One Social Thing.
Thanks as always for your trust, loyalty, and attention. I don't take it for granted. One Social Thing is a new concept, and I'd LOVE your feedback on it.
Okay content is easy. Killer content is hard. This nifty eBook shows you the difference, based on our real-world work with dozens of brands. A must-read!

Experience Jewish Passover meal pointing toward Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.
Traditional foods include matzo meal soup, roasted lamb, haroset. This is a 2.5h sit down event, with optional Jewish dancing at the end. :-)
Families are welcome, but children and teens under 18 need to come with an older sibling or a parent. A table for smaller kids with the young adults overseeing Holy Week activities will be on a side of the room.
We serve wine during Seder, and the least amount to be traditionally drank for this celebration is four small sips. Anyone who would rather drink grape juice, please indicate in the sign up list.
We will use Haggadah from the Association of Hebrew Catholics.
Price: $15 per adult (all 13 years old and up), $7.50 per child 4-12, free for a child 3 years old and under. Discount for those who will bring a prescribed side dish for 10 people.
28. It is becoming familiar in many parishes and Catholic homes to participate in a Passover Seder during Holy Week. This practice can have educational and spiritual value. It is wrong, however, to "baptize" the Seder by ending it with New Testament readings about the Last Supper or, worse, turn it into a prologue to the Eucharist. Such mergings distort both traditions. The following advice should prove useful:
When Christians celebrate this sacred feast among themselves, the rites of the haggadah for the seder should be respected in all their integrity. The seder . . . should be celebrated in a dignified manner and with sensitivity to those to whom the seder truly belongs. The primary reason why Christians may celebrate the festival of Passover should be to acknowledge common roots in the history of salvation. Any sense of "restaging" the Last Supper of the Lord Jesus should be avoided .... The rites of the Triduum are the [Church's] annual memorial of the events of Jesus' dying and rising (Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy Newsletter, March 1980, p. 12 from God's Mercy Endures Forever: Guidelines on the Presentation of Jews and Judaism in Catholic Preaching
P.S. It should be celebrated on Holy Thursday, but this day is such a big celebration for all Catholics that the priority for us is to start celebrating Triduum.

Prove that you can use this calcluator to convert any number to 1.
Notation: use ~ to denote reversal, as in
~53 = 35
Let the given number be n and suppose first that n is not a multiple of 7. Since the powers of 10 repeatedly cycle through 1,3,2,6,4,5,... mod 7, there are always nonnegative k and m such that n+7k=10^m which then reverses to 1.
If n is a multiple of 7, then there is a nonnegative k such that n+7k=77...7 so that n+7(k-2)=77...763 . Reversing, 3677...7 cannot be a multiple of 7, however. For 36 is congruent to 1 mod 7, while 10^m is never congruent to 0 mod 7, making it impossible for 36*10^m+77...7 to be congruent to 0 mod 7.

Hair Simulation / Scalp Micropigmentation / Hair Tattoo
The developments in the medical and beauty industries in line with the advances in science and technology, has enabled many medical conditions to be managed much more effectively thanks to the treatment options now available. While these developments contributed to the improvements made in all segments of healthcare services, it also initiated development activities to make the proper diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatments for hair loss. This article which we prepared after conducting research, will be covering one of these innovations; 'Hair Simulation'. Hair simulation, also known as scalp micropigmentation, hair tattoo and scalp pigmentation, involves the use of a highly specialized equipment and micro-needles to inject pigment into the scalp.
It is a non-surgical method
This method is applied by perforating the skin with a motor driven device, using specialised needles to insert ink at the right depth. Micro pigments are applied at the epidermis level of the scalp, with the objective to replicate the appearance of real hair follicles. These procedures try to create the illusion of a full head of shaved hair. The aim is reduce the contrast between hair and scalp color. Micro pigmentation, is a appearance-based semi-permanent manipulation technique. Based on a person's skin texture, SMP treatment lasts for three to four years.
The pigments applied to the scalp eventually dissolve and then disappear completely from the system. Micropigmentation cannot be done with tattoo pigments, because tattoo needles reach to a deeper layer of the skin.
If it were applied with tattoo pigments, this would result in pigment migration between the layers of the skin and even lead to the formation of skin blotches. Moreover, the pigments used in tattooing are capable of colour change over time. Black colors can result in cold undertones such as green or blue.
This situation will impair the natural appearance of your hair. For this reason, in hair simulation application, biodegradable ink is used. These pigments are naturally absorbed by the human body, which in turn, prevents color change in the future. In time, the colors will fade and then be excreted from the body. Hair simulation can be applied in 2 different forms. Both procedures are conducted in the same way but have different requirements. The first micropigmentataion application requires the entire scalp to be shaved free of hair. The second application is focused on creating a "shaded" scalp, generally for individuals who wear their hair long, with the goal to decrease the contrast between the scalp and hair.
1. Micropigmentation Application With The Head Completely Shaved
The objective of the regular shaven approach, is to mimic real hair follicles.
To create this simulation, the entire head has to be completely shaved. The pigments are two-dimentional in design and our hair, on the other hand is three-dimentional. After the head has been completely shaved, the two-dimentional pigments applied on the scalp, work together to create a uniform look of a 'just-shaven' head. In order to get the most out of hair simulation treatment; individuals suffering from severe hair loss, who have scarring alopecias such as alopecia areata and who experienece hair loss in a diffuse pattern are required to shave their head completely.
2. Micropigmentation Application With Long Hair
Hair simulation treatment applied without shaving the head, is generally performed on women experiencing hair thinning on the top or across the crown section of the head and for individuals who want to conceal small bald patches or for scar cover up. The objective of this method is to create an underlying effect, matching the natural color of existing hair and to cover or fill in thinning areas.
Who Can Benefit From Hair Simulation Treatment?
- 1. Patients with Alopecia Universalis; a hair loss condition characterized by the complete loss of hair on the scalp and body and patients with Alopecia Totalis; a condition resulting in the loss of all the hair on the scalp,
- 2. Patients with Alopecia Areata; a disease that causes hair to fall out in small patches,
- 3. Individuals who want to camouflage their FUT scarring associated with prior hair transplants,
- 4. Individuals experiencing a minimal amount of hair shedding or hair thinning,
- 5. Individuals who want to camouflage the appearance of scars from accidents, burns or from any external trauma,
- 6. Individuals suffering from thinning hair, but don't want to cut their hair short,
- 7. Individuals with advanced hair loss conditions and cannot achieve coverage or density through a hair transplant,
Advantages of Hair Simulation
- 1. Being a non-surgical treatment; the risk of infection is much lower and the patients recover faster.
- 2. With hair simulation treatment, in just 2 to 4 days, the patient is able to achieve the look of a full head of short-cropped hair.
- 3. Hair simulation application enables patients to conceal or diminish the visibility of any scarrings on the scalp.
- 4. Being a temporary application, after the pigments dissolve and fade out, patients can resume their former appearances.
Disadvantages of Hair Simulation
- 1. There is only one achievable look that a person can use and because the hair pattern stays the same, changing it will require laser removal process.
- 2. Hair simulation does not provide a permanent solution like hair transplantation. The pigments used in the application last around 3-5 years.
- 3. In order to prolong the vibracy of the pigments and prevent from fading faster, patients are required to limit exposure to the sun and use high factor sun cream/block when they are on holiday.
- 4. To keep the appearance uniform and to make it less susceptible to detection, once every two days regular shaving of existing hair is required.
- 5. As the pigments will fade over time, this will require the patient to visit the clinic more often for touch-ups. These repeated sessions may lead the formation of blotches on the scalp.
At Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic we do not apply such a treatment. The purpose of this study, is to provide you an insight into the process and application of hair simulation.

Read: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
19Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
In order to share God's Word and His love, you must know to whom you are talking. When Jesus told a story, his message was focused to the group in front of Him. He knew their lives and their culture and, in doing so, was able to teach them in a way they could understand. Paul says he became like those he was trying to reach with the Gospel. He built trust and understanding first. When struggles in ministry arise, take a look at yourself, and ask God if there is something you need to change to more effectively reach the lost.

Remodeling Project to Add New Classroom Space Complete! - Photos
Over the past several months, an extensive remodeling project has been underway in what we have called the "Old Fellowship Hall" area of our building. The work has been led by Rick M. and Steve G., along with many others who have assisted in various ways over these past months. Only the Lord knows just how many hours Rick himself has put into this project.
It is now complete, except for carpet
, which will be installed shortly! Three new classrooms have been added - one larger room (media room) and two smaller ones, with the central gathering area transformed into an outstanding meeting space as well! Ceilings down both hallways were lowered and new lights put in. It is truly beautiful, and a great addition to our church facilities!
Thank you to Rick and Steve for their leadership, and to everyone who helped them along the way to make this possible!

Dance as a Manifesting Practice
Everything we do is motivated by the feeling we get while doing it. The Idea that something in the future will eventually make us happy seems to stay just an Idea. These Ideas never seem to materialize or become something until we add the Feeling to it.
In the analogy of a sailboat – Ideas or Intentions are the steering mechanism while the Emotions are the sails that propel us forward.
Dance is a powerful tool to engage with your Emotional body, to deploy those sails that stay rolled and dormant within and bring those Intentions to life. It is the first physical expression of your intangible Idea… it is the first step towards fulfilling your Dream.
"Dancing between Heaven and Earth" is not just a metaphor – it describes the bridging process of bringing your Intention into material Reality.
Adrian travelled and worked in a wide variety of places from the most alternative and unstructured to the rigid high end corporate and government environments for the last 19 years. From camp counselor in upstate NY and gardening in off the grid communities in Northern California to engineering telecommunication systems for the aerospace industry and Federal Emergency Management Agency. As an expert engineer, he taught technical classes for major corporations and the White House Military Office during the Obama administration. Living in such different environments required constant adjustments - pushed him out of the familiar, breaking habits and challenged his beliefs. This rhythm became overwhelming and his body started to lose vitality and get sick. During a trip to California he encountered a great community of people that helped him reconnect with his inner wisdom using music, dance and native american practices. He quit his job and moved to California for more than 2 years to learn how to live again.
In 2011 Adrian encountered one of his most influential teachers Samantha Sweetwater at Burning Man Festival in the Nevada Desert and he started the Dancing Freedom Facilitator training shortly after that. He became a certified Dancing Freedom Facilitator in 2012, held classes in North California until the end of 2012 when he and his partner continued their journey to Australia. Since 2013, they are facilitating weekly Ecstatic Dance journeys and a monthly Cacao Ceremony in Brisbane.

Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen has teamed with Teledyne Controls to integrate Jeppesen's FliteDeck Pro electronic flight bag (EFB) with Teledyne's GroundLink Comm+ system with Aircraft Interface Device (AID) functionality, which is named GroundLink AID+.
This will deliver greater data connectivity for carriers which equip their pilots with FliteDeck Pro EFBs, according to the two companies.
Jeppesen and Teledyne Controls say the GroundLink AID+ technology will allow airlines to view GPS-based, own-ship positioning on navigational charts in real time on their FliteDeck Pro EFBs, increasing situational awareness in flight.
Specifically, the companies say their alliance will allow airport charts, departure charts, enroute and weather maps and arrival charts in FliteDeck Pro to be integrated quickly and easily with data from the aircraft's existing onboard data systems, to help pilots make more-informed decisions, increasing operational efficiency and improving safety margins.
"Advances gained through use of Teledyne's GroundLink AID+ technology will continue the wave of new capabilities delivered through FliteDeck Pro to help operators access and process critical flight data," says Scott Reagan, director, Jeppesen OEM client management.
Technical integration of the FliteDeck Pro EFB with the GroundLink AID+ system has been easy and cost-effective, according to Murray Skelton, director of business development for Teledyne Controls.
"With approximately 10,000 GroundLink units already flying, it is an easy transition for those with the technology already installed," says Skelton. "It not only protects their legacy investment but it also enables them to make even more of it. It means that every future customer with the GroundLink Comm+ system installed can gain instant benefit."
Jeppesen and Teledyne Controls note that connectivity gives pilots access to their EFBs at all times.
This means that, before a flight, pilots can update their EFB databases and review maintenance logs, Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs), flight release and notices to airmen (NOTAMs).
During the ramp/taxi out portion of the flight, they can calculate take-off performance and complete their checklists. Following take-off, they can log flight progress and review enroute, arrivals and approach charts. After the flight, they can file the pilot log and send performance calculations off-board.
Jeppesen is part of the Digital Aviation business unit within Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.
Headquartered in Southern California and a wholly owned subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, Teledyne Controls LLC develops and manufactures a wide range of data-management equipment designed to help aircraft operators collect, manage and distribute aircraft data more efficiently.

Strawberries and cream never tasted so good. It's a trip back to your earlier years with sweet strawberry and delicious cream. Some have said that it gives you the impression of a glass sweet Strawberry milk.
33 Reviews Hide Reviews Show Reviews
the creamiest strawberries put into a vape
Very good vape strawberries and cream not too sweet just Wright very delicious good throat hit what else can I say. Would definitely give it a try even if you're not a fruit type vape person because I was not either till I tried this. You will not be disappointed
strawberries and sweet sweet cream need i say more
Very good right out of package but would definitely let it steep for 5 days it will only get better. It has a great smooth throat hit the flavors of the strawberries and then the sweet cream behind it is very well put together I personally am not much on fruity vapes but this one is definitely worth a try it is definitely going to be in my top rotation. It is a good break between tobacco vapes and bakery vapes would definitely try you will not be disappointed.
strawberries and sweet sweet cream
Very good right out of package but would recommend to let it steep at least 5 days you will get a much better flavor very smooth throat hit strawberries and cream very delicious vape. Me personally I'm not much on fruity vapes but this one is delicious and my favorite the strawberry taste is excellent and then right behind it the sweet cream very well put together would definitely recommend trying it if you're not a fruity vape type person definitely worth the try.
Better after a nap.
This one out of the sample pack had a bit too much green going on when I got it. You know, the green leaf part of the strawberry, plus something a bit too perfumy.
So, after my initial vape, I didn't like it and put it away.
A week or so later I came back and tried it again. That green leaf/perfumy flavor was mellowed out and I got much more of a strawberry and cream flavor.
I think it needs another week. But, it is getting better. I'm starting to really like it after that initial "green-ness" wears off.
I'm vaping on a nautilus 1.6 ohm at between 11 and 12 watts.
Will try it in my triton .4 ohm soon after another week.
I mix mine half and half with Strawberry Obsession and it's really good! If you like strawberries and cream, then this is the eliquid for you!
pure sex
great juice right out of mail it taste great no need to steep it, its creamy its yummy only bad thing is that i got it in 30ml bottle :)
Dreams are in Black and White
My tastes may run sweeter than your so take with a grain of salt. Berry Dream is okay but I found if you do a 1:1 mix with red dream with strawberry obsession, then you will be dreaming in full color.
solid strawberry n cream
Excellent. My second fav outta 5 I bought. One of the better strawberry n creams that I've tried.
Don't sleep on this one - You gotta try it
When I first vaped this I was not impressed, it was a quality juice but the flavour was off. After about 1 week or so of steeping the flavour came alive. Yes, this is one of the best juices I have ever vaped. Very satisfying. Happy I bought this and will be back again.

Here comes the sweetest part of the week. Sex on the plage I have witnessed is a good luck, but one succeeds who looks for a success. Just imagine that was an evening and sunset illuminated the couple on the strand. They seemed to be drunk out of scenic nature, their nude bodies and freedom. Gorgeous girl with wide hips and small tits stood on the pebbles talking to her friend who was already hard on her. Kissing her back and ass he made her take doggystyle position and took her from behind. She must have been excited enough and his big dick made it easily inside her. Quick penetration accompanied with his touching her bubbies. Suddenly I saw her looking at the manicure and thinking about something. I wonder what could be more interesting for her at this fantastic time of love making?! To be continued …
We finally got some warm weather in Virginia (between snowfalls) and we headed out to our local public park. TazMan bought us a love swing for our anniversary and a swing tree stand to hang it from. He can erect the stand in under 5 minutes. We started the shoot alone but a small crowd soon gathered behind TazMan as he photographed me. I've never been so turned on and so scared at the same time. It was fantastic! Also, you have been asking to see my "Emerald Eyes" so here they are! I'm still looking for a girl to do an nudiststyle photo shoot with. If you are in the Central VA area & are (seriously) interested in doing one with me, leave an email address in the comment section and I'll answer you! And as usual, PDPMEMA!

this article in the New York Times. I have a few theories of my own.
1. It's usually considered inappropriate to say things aren't great. If a Costa Rican tells you that things are "más o menos"(more or less) it's a good idea to ask what's wrong. He or a near relative might be gravely ill. Otherwise, the most common response to "¿Como está?" is "¡Muy bien por dicha!" (very well, luckily) or "¡Pura vida!" (pure life, a general purpose comment that means almost anything positive from life is great to don't worry about things.)
2. Ticos are very non-confrontational. They rarely complain about problems like noisy neighbors or slow service. This keeps life smooth and easy, if a bit noisier and slower.
3. When you are surrounded by smiling people who never complain and are always telling you how great things are, it just makes you feel better. The opposite of a vicious cycle. Scientific proof is found in this article. The authors analyzed long-term data from the Framington Heart Study and concluded:
People's happiness depends on the happiness of others with whom they are connected. This provides further justification for seeing happiness, like health, as a collective phenomenon.
4. Most people are in the middle, economically. There's not a huge gap between the very rich and other people. True, there are rich and poor, but compared to many countries the divide between the extremes is less.
If you want to feel happier and can't come live in Costa Rica, you might want to check out the Happiness Project here. Pura vida.

In the modern age of story-telling, Pixar are without doubt THE master craftsmen. While any company synonymous with Disney is bound to be blessed with more than a little magic, Pixar's creativity is grounded in process and design thinking.
Research, iteration and collaboration are the foundations for creating characters that are both appealing and believable keeping billions enchanted for more three decades.
Pixar's design thinking process, unpacked;
Immerse yourself in research
Pixar's creative process kicks off with research by immersing the team into a particular place. For the film Cars, illustrators and technical designers went on a month long road trip to experience America's oldest highways and collect photos and memorabilia along the way.
This technique is similar to Ethnographic Field Studies in UX Design where research is used to help unearth new ways of seeing by being an active participant.
Iterate, constantly
Once the initial mood has been explored, Pixar designers commit to quick and dirty sketches and prototypes to help viewers feel instant empathy with the story.
"We wanted Remy and Emile to be charming and immediately accessible, but we also wanted emphatically to say they are rats" (Sculptor Greg Dykstra).
The secret to nailing a character is in ensuring that it's believable.
"In all phases of our process we work from rough to fine. With a character like Woody, we start designing on paper and then move to refining his shape, first as a sculpture and then in the computer. Every step is crucial in ensuring the character looks appealing". (Sharon Callahan, Director of Photography)
This phase of characterisation is not dissimilar to persona development and storyboards in UX Design where research is used to unearth people's pains, desires, and emotions. The goal of which, is to create a product that satisfies a need and captures their attention.
This mode of 'thinking with your hands' via sketching isn't only relevant for characterisation; it's the quickest and most universal way to get an idea across.
In my experience, sketching in design workshops helps everyone to feel engaged in the process and breaks any fears around new ideas or ways of working.
The realisation of a character has also become quicker in the last decade due to introduction of 3D printing as a form of rapid prototyping.
3D printing enables designers to link form to traits such as Carl's stocky physique to his stubborn personality. This method of making also creates a more seamless transition between sketching and animation as the dimensions of a character have been expressed and resolved from every angle.
Striving for 'Simplexity'
One of the most profound elements of Pixar's design thinking process is their use of selective detail or 'simplexity' to express a character's fundamental emotional qualities.
'Simplexity'; the art of simplifying an image down to its essence.
This concept drew my attention to Pixar's appreciation for the psychology of line, form, colour and texture which is essential to the creation of emotionally rich characters.
Keep pushing the envelope with collaboration
Unsurprisingly, Pixar have access to the dream team of collaborators when working on a film. Industrial designers, sculptors, photographers, illustrators and model makers all bring a fresh perspective to the story using their skills to realise a character's humanity.
While access to Pixar's design resources are not necessary for success, an appreciation for the design process is. By taking the time to immerse yourself in research, iterate without fear and collaborate is the best way to achieve product-market fit.

In the market we find many pocket watches firms from designers. Many brands are also manufacturers of apparel and accessories that draw their own models of watches on the market competing with brands that specialize in this pocket style.
William Sullivan and Son Funeral Home, with locations at 8459 Hall Road in Utica and 705 West 11 Mile Road in (audemars piguet;baume & mercier;rolex;breitling;cartier;hublot;jaeger-lecoultre;patek philippe;omega) will pay tribute by placing small American flags on the lawn of both facilities. Those who make Hublot donations will receive one of the displayed flags. Funds raised will be donated to local police and fire departments. Both locations will serve as a place where people can dispose of old and tattered American flags and also have large Thank you cards available for first responders.
A watch is so much more than fashion. It is a technology that has remained in many ways fundamentally the same for the last couple hundred years. Engineering that technology remains a craft that is careful and detailed. It is a skill that these companies ensure you pay for. The precious metals that go into most of the big player's {Tudor|Zenith|Franck Muller|TAG Heuer|Tissot|Tiffany & Co|Hamilton|Waltham|Gruen} watches are also things of implicate value. Unlike many of the designer gowns and wild dresses paraded around during fashion week you can expect those Cartier watches and (tudor;zenith;franck muller;tag heuer;tissot;tiffany & co;hamilton;waltham;gruen) to be back next year. These are not fading styles they are fixtures, meant to hold onto their clout and their status.
Buying products from leading on-line retails is now safer than ever and is now so simple and possible 365 days of the year. The best on-line retailers will also give you free shipping as well as the 2-year warranty on Tag Watches.
I would not suggest you to spend thousands of dollars buying a (blancpain;corum;glashutte;iwc;jaeger-lecoultre;omega;panerai;ulysse nardin) (Rolex watches, TAG Heuer etc.). I do not think that (blancpain;corum;glashutte;iwc;jaeger-lecoultre;omega;panerai;ulysse nardin)es are a symbol of a person's success. I think one of the discount Seiko watches should fit IWC everyone's budget.
After you have decided the brand, style and budget, you must think about the functions of your Russian gold watch. For instance, some watches are shock-resistant and solar-powered. If you are interested in these functions, you may want to have a look at that watch.
Well all Lexington coin shop that fretting turned out to be for naught. They all just happened to be high quality watches. I was frankly thrilled that there was such a great resource for watches on the web and that they could be trusted. Online commerce can be a little scary at times but when it works it is an absolute thrill!
