Fiji Times!
Last newsletter I shared about the upcoming trip to Fiji! Well, we've been back now for about 2 months and I've finally got a bit of time to sit down and write about it 🙂 Hope you enjoy and are encouraged.
To start, writing 6 weeks of pure awesomeness is next to impossible! So bear with me as I try to hit the highlights 🙂 (Also, if this is too long, skip to the end to see what I am doing now and will be up to when the January DTS starts!)
I believe the word for the trip was "Unity". If you remember, I asked you to be praying for our Team Unity. The team struggled a lot before we left with this. We had 6 students, and 5 of them were extremely strong willed and they butted heads all the time. Before we left, we called a team prayer and fasting day to ask the Lord for unity, unoffendability, selfless love and grace to continuously choose each other over ourselves. The whole team was aware this was an issue and that we would need to fight for each other and not with each other while on outreach! 🙂 I also had all of you guys praying for us!
The Lord answered our prayers!
We realized that, after hearing many comments about our unity, something was shifting and that the Lord was using our constant intercession and worship to create a bond and love for each other that couldn't be shaken. Seriously, it was totally a miracle! Because of the unity He gave to us (and the team worked so hard for) we were able to minister to the brokenness and disunity in Fiji itself!
An example of this is us heading to Naviti an island of the west coast of Fiji. We were able to be the first YWAM Team and non-methodists to run a church service and worship with instruments, do some skits and share a message from the Lord on unity in the church. The Assemblies Of God church on the island all came and joined us, so it was also the first time that had happened! We did worship everywhere and people were always drawn to it and confused by the power they felt behind it. Opened a lot of doors to share the Kingdom 🙂
Another example was the Fijian prison we went to a couple times! The second time we brought an Indian pastor (aside from the Methodist and AOG unity issue, there is also a Fijian and Indian unity issue! There is much animosity there) with us and he was able to share with the prisoners his heart. The Fijian pastor, Paul, who ran the ministry invited him back to share anytime he wanted and in turn Veejay invited Paul back to his village to help the church plant.
A testimony from our evangelism times was getting to share the gospel with a really open Fijian-Indian named Bob. He was so sweet, and we talked for quite a long time. He had been healed a long time ago by Jesus and didn't realize who Jesus was or why He healed him, so I shared with Him and prayed many times through-out the conversation for him. He was so open and I even told him that Jesus is the ONLY God, which he didn't fully understand (he's Hindi), so I ended up getting his phone number and bought him a Bible and we hung out with him again later on! I don't think he ever fully received Jesus as his King, but he definitely was interested and had never heard the things I'd told him! We have his number as well, so the team that is heading to Fiji in April will get to keep building on the relationship. SO blessed 🙂
The Lord used our team to build unity, relationship and the Kingdom in Fiji while we were there, and we are so thankful for your prayers that made it happen! Some ministries we loved doing were Village Volleyball (seriously, the whole village came out every afternoon), learning to cook, playing with kids for hours and discipling them in their walk with God and encouraging to have big dreams, church services, worship teaching, serving (building, cleaning etc), evangelism, prison chapel, praying for the sick in the hospital, assisting a YWAM Medical team (doctors, dentists and nurses volunteering free services in poor villages)!
Oh! One of our ministries we did a lot of was worship & intercession! Our main contact had told us that that is a huge tool the Lord uses to open doors and release His presence into places. We definitely saw this first hand, as the people were always so quick to listen and receive prayer 🙂 One night we were actually up from 1am-5am doing worship warfare for a village we were staying in! In the middle of a huge ministry weekend! The Lord is faithful though, and His children are worth any sleep we sacrifice!
Another time we saw God move through that ministry was when we interceded for the YWAM Base and two of the full-time staff who needed the right visas to work as doctors in Fiji. That day was the huge breakthrough YWAM Marine Reach needed! The visas came through the next day after 4 months of waiting and stress!
One of my one-on-ones, Maria, got baptized in Fiji!! This is an amazing story of God's transformative grace. When she first came to YWAM she found out she actually wasn't a Christian! Through much prayer and discipling, many tears and tough questions, she fully received Jesus as the Lord of her life and let Him have control. The Lord was softened her heart and she was amazing. She had revelation that He DOES exist, that He is GOOD, that He would never leave her if she gave her life to Him and He is worthy of it all 🙂
Jared (my super duper cool co-leader) and I had the privilege of baptizing her in the Pacific Ocean at sunset. It was incredible and the whole village of Naviti came out and joined us!! She has changed so much, and if it was just her life that was saved and transformed, whatever I go through in life is totally worth it!
Now she has gone on to attend the Atlanta School of Ministry (the place where I spent 3 years studying the Word of God and reaching the lost in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia).
A strength the team developed was prophetic words! A house visit didn't go by without the team hearing God specifically for the people that lived in the house. Interestingly enough, this was hugely impactful because our contacts were not used to teams operating with the Holy Spirit! That's so sad! I can see why though, it can be quite intimidating to go to a house where you don't necessarily speak their language and the people stare at you because you are white!
However Jared and I decided to get the team to do practice hearing the voice of God, by getting one of them to sit in a chair with a blindfold on. We would send one person at a time to them and they had to ask God what He was saying about that person! It's an incredibly encouraging exercise, and even the most timid person who really believes they can't hear God, find out they can!!! Nearly everyone is right on, every single time. The key is that because you can't see, you are really relying on God for something!
This released them in the prophetic, and the Fijians were amazed that God wants to speak to them! It enabled us to train them in hearing God's voice and to teach them that speaking with Holy Spirit can be a daily thing! 🙂 That is something that is often missing in the Fijian village churches (esp the Methodist church).
I am co-leading this next school (34 students!!) that is arriving on Thursday. We have been in hard-core preparation mode these past few weeks!
These are what the responsibilities of my new role will look like:
Pastoral care of female staff
Responsibility of female students: helping staff with one-on-ones, dealing with student issues etc
Classroom manager: setting the room up, setting the atmosphere pre and during class, feedback for speakers, assessing engagement of the room etc
Ministry time facilitator: Discernment, guiding the room with Holy Spirit etc
Spiritual oversight of school
Taking care of weekly Speakers: preparing them, welcoming them, communicating with them daily about how the school is going, working with them during class ministry etc
Base Worship&Intercession Coordinator
I also will be leading a team to an undisclosed place (I will let you know when the students know ;)) Should have 8 or 9 students with us! More info on that to come 🙂
Prayer Points:
- Provision: Naturally and Supernaturally
- Protection: Spiritually, Mentally, Physically, Emotionally
- School Leading: Wisdom, Discernment, Revelation, Much Fruit, Unity between Kerri, Landon and myself (the leaders of the school)
- Outreach: Planning, preparation and unity between Caleb and myself

Kogi State Government has told the indigenes to prepare for more hot weather this year.
The Special Adviser to Governor Idris Wada on Environment and Physical Development, Mrs. Ladi Ahmed Jatto, alerted the public to climatic changes, effects and implications on health.
In a statement, Mrs. Jatto referred to the flood that ravaged some parts of the country last year, including nine local governments in the state.
She described the flood as a disaster, assuring that such would never happen again as government was on the alert and proactive to nip it in the bud.
According to her, the provision of preventive advice has become a health protection measure against climatic change in line with the global practices in environmental protection.
Mrs. Jatto drew the attention of the Kogi State people to the likely hot weather in the coming months, which might result in heat-related illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly.
She urged them to avoid stuffy and overcrowded places, stay in well-ventilated or cool environment and avoid leaving children in poorly-ventilated areas to avoid the outbreak of meningitis.

The video for Dan Auerbach's new single 'Waiting On A Song' harks back to high school memories in what is almost an ode to Richard Linklater / John Hughes of coming of age style of film making. The story follows a group of boys at the start of their final summer together before they head off for college and decide to make it a holiday to remember by hanging out, having fun, getting stoned, partying and hopefully winning the affections of a girl or two. Not only does Dan make a small cameo appearance, the songs co-writers John Prine and Pat McLaughlin also have small parts as well as a number of Nashville songwriters including Luke Dick and Michael Heeney.
The song itself is a very classic composition, and pays tribute 'to the great tradition of Nashville songwriters' - a theme that's continued throughout Auerbach's latest solo album which also features the same title as this new single.
Speaking about the album, Dan remarked how his current home of Nashville has really made a huge imprint on his writing style: "Living in Nashville has definitely changed the way I think about music and the way that I record it. I didn't have all of these resources before. I am working with some of the greatest musicians that ever lived."
It's been eight years since Auerbach's released a solo album and from the tracks we've heard so far 'Waiting On A Song' could be some of his strongest work to date. The album will be released June 2nd 2017 through Easy Eye Sound.
Dan has also that he will be the support act for John Prine for four gigs in September and October.

Taking a cross-country motorcycle trip can be a fantastic adventure. It can give you the opportunity to enjoy the sights, sounds, and people all over the country in a way no other kind of trip can. It's something you can tell your children and grandchildren about for years to come. To get the most out of the trip, take the time to create plan carefully. Take into consideration the duration of your trip, what you want to see, and the weather conditions during your adventure.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
While riding across the U.S. might be a dream come true, it can be a very challenging journey. It takes lots of stamina to ride the 3,000 to 4,000 miles it takes to go coast to coast, so you need to be prepared. It's important to consider whether you should take your own bike or rent a newer one. You must also decide what to take with you and what to purchase along the way. How you'll get home once the ride is over is a crucial step to keep in mind. Most importantly, you have to consider the route you will take. You should set aside the necessary time for the trip to accommodate the stops you want to make. It is important to begin planning the trip well in advance.
The Motorcycle
It is more important to choose a comfortable motorcycle than one that looks cool. Two weeks in the saddle can be very painful on the wrong bike. Be sure to check the tires and any other maintenance on your bike to ensure it can last the distance you plan to travel. Make sure your motorcycle has been properly serviced before you leave. Bike problems can definitely ruin a fun trip and many issues are avoidable. Although flags and other decorations make your bike look cool, they can quickly become annoying distractions and can even be safety hazards.
Get a good pair of earplugs to protect your ears and a cooling vest if you're riding during the summer. Take rain gear or heated clothing, a weather band radio, and the appropriate riding gear. Pack lots of snacks and eat your heaviest meal at night. Choosing the right music for the trip is essential. Consider taking a good book to read at night if riding alone.
The Route
Remember, interstates will get you there quicker, but local routes can be a lot more fun. Map out your entire route and program it into your GPS. Plot your route on a detailed map and stash it in your stuff to make sure you have it as backup.
Making Memories
Ending your trip in an interesting location makes for a great finishing touch. Taking lots of pictures or videos can help you capture many incredible moments you can share later. Consider blogging or Tweeting along the way. You can even geotag your photos and upload them. Decide if you're going to camp out, stay in hotels, or some combination of the two. If you plan on camping, pick your spots wisely. Taking the trip between May and October may be best in terms of weather.
Riding a motorcycle cross country is a fantastic experience. It's a chance to see the country in a way few people do. Stopping at sunset and leaving just after sunrise lets you take in more sights during your daylight hours. Be sure to only drink alcohol when you're done riding for the day. Plan properly, ride safely and you'll have the trip of a lifetime.

I have to admit it: I gravitate towards Heidi Swanson's cheesiest recipes. In my last post, I brought you her warm quinoa with oozing Tallegio. Now I bring you a crunchy crostini with chive speckled goat cheese and pearly lentils.
Before I move on to the recipe, a word about the book, now that I've spent a little more time with it.
Yep, it's health food. It's a nice place to find wholesome, fresh ideas, and to experiment with whole ingredients—let's be honest: ingredients you're likely to find in the health food store (teff flour, wild rice flour and amaranth, to name a few).
And that's just fine. Swanson isn't preachy, just earnest. And frankly, when she told me to use whole grain baguette (as she did for the crostini recipe), I opted for white baguette because that's what I found on my way home. No biggie. But the spirit is to use as many whole, natural and interesting ingredients as possible, and I respect that. It's just that I tend to gravitate towards cheese…
For these crostini, Swanson recommends beluga lentils. Beluga lentils are deep black and firm, which makes them look like the glossy onyx caviar. I suspect that's the point. I used French lentils, which also hold their shape nicely.
Lentil Crostini with Chive Speckled Goat Cheese
Adapted from a recipe in Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Cooking
Makes enough to pass around at a small party
For the lentils:
1 ¼ cups dry beluga or French lentils, picked over for small stones, and rinsed
4 cups of water
1 or 2 teaspoons sea salt
For the crostini:
1/3 cup cold-pressed olive oil
1 whole-wheat baguette, cut on a bias into ¼ inch-thick slices
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, halved
For the goat cheese spread:
8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
A splash of milk
A large bunch of fresh chives, washed and finely chopped (with a few longer snips reserved for garnish)
Fine-grained sea salt, to taste
First, make the lentils. In a large saucepan, bring the lentils and water to a boil. Bring down to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until tender but still whole. Add the salt and stir. Drain the lentil and set them aside.
For your crostini: Set the oven to 350 F. With a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each slice with the olive oil. Set on a rack, in a single layer, and place in the oven for about ten minutes. They should come out lightly golden. When they are just cool enough to handle, use the cut sides of your garlic to gently rub one face of each toast.
Now, make the goat cheese spread. In a medium sized bowl, use a fork to mash up the cheese. Add just enough milk to give it a nice, spreadable consistency. Incorporate the chives, and add salt to taste.
To assemble each crostini, spread a spoonful of chive cheese on the garlicky face of the toast, and top with a small spoonful of lentils. Garnish with chives, pile onto a plate, and serve.

It is that time of the year again where we are running from one swimming pool to the next. Making food for pasta parties, bleaching hair, dying hair, shaving hair. Rushing to get all the crafty crap I started for the girls done in time. All for these next few days. Big Ten's Swimming and Diving and high school boys Sectionals! And as of RIGHT NOW…45 minutes before I leave for the girls meet…I'm done!
Conner spent the last week or so with different shades of hair. First he bleaches it….then comes home and wonders why his head is on FIRE! Then for girls state they dye it…..this year he chose a blue and green "half-n-half"…sorta like a Steak-n-Shake milk shake.
This year I made the girls draw string bags made from up-cycled tee shirts. I think they turned out cute. Last year I made these ugly dolls…they were a big hit…I hope they like the bags just as much.
And this year for the parent party room I made these cake balls! Love 'em….love making them….love eating them…..just love, love, love 'em!

Breen: What Exactly is Jeff Novitzky's Deal With Jon Jones?
Editor's note: The views and opinions expressed below are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Sherdog.com, its affiliates and sponsors or its parent company, Evolve Media.
It's not weird that Jeff Novitzky would talk about Jon Jones. After all, Novitzky is the UFC's vice president of athlete health and performance, and Jones is a disgraced legend and repeat drug test failure. What is weird, however, is the way Novitzky talks about Jones.
Novitzky made an appearance on the Jan. 3 edition of the Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show and, naturally, the topic turned to the perpetually punished "Jonny Bones," who tested positive for the steroid turinabol in a sample collected the day before his UFC 214 rematch with Daniel Cormier. Jones has maintained his innocence, saying he would never do steroids.
"Dude the truth is I would never do steroids, I put that on my children and I put that on my Heavenly Father," Jones wrote on Twitter on Sept. 14.
Of course, he has already failed a separate drug test for clomiphene, an anti-estrogenic agent, and letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, not to mention his wonky testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio prior to the first Cormier bout at UFC 182 three years ago.
"I have been in the UFC many, many years, and I have taken sex pills several times throughout my adult life. Highly recommend it, guys. [Expletiv] great. It's awesome," Jones said in April.
"I probably should have taken the rules a lot more seriously and literally had everything tested. I just figured it wasn't needed because it had nothing to do with sport performance," Jones said. "I take USADA very seriously now, I send them everything and tell them where I am going to be."
Jones is a reckless goof -- we know this from his non-drug behavior, as well -- and that was essentially an arbitrator's finding in his first USADA test, concluding: "On the evidence before the Panel, the Applicant is not a drug cheat. He did not know that the tablet he took contained prohibited substances or that those substances had the capacity to enhance sporting performance."
Maybe you believe that to be the case. Novitzky certainly does, and you know what? He believes it this time, too.
"It would not make a lot of sense for an individual, a UFC athlete, especially a championship contender like Jon Jones who knew, 'I'm tested quite regularly in this program,' it would not make a lot of sense that that would be your drug of choice if you're trying to cheat," Novitzky told Rogan. "I think it's come out after the fact that USADA did another test on Jon a month or two months after his positive test, and he was negative. So that would be indicative that the prohibited substance entered his system sometime after July seventh or eighth, and that was likely a pretty small amount and that cleared his system pretty quickly."
When Jones tested positive for turinabol, there were immediate questions and curiosity about the substance itself, a primitive steroid linked most intimately with the East German Olympic teams of the 1960s and 1970s. It's entirely plausible that Jones haplessly stumbled into another unprofessional situation with deleterious consequences, because that's a defining characteristic of the man. What is striking here is how credulous Novitzky is and his willingness to express it.
"On the surface of things, at this point in the game with that type of information out there, it wouldn't indicate intentional use," Novitzky said. "That could be wrong. I don't know that definitively, and we'll see how this plays out."
During his time with the Food and Drug Administration and the Internal Revenue Service, Novitzky developed a reputation as hawkish, perhaps even borderline obsessive in investigation of certain athletes or potential steroid providers. He is infamous for going through people's garbage to find evidence against them. During the Rogan interview, he even seems to enjoy the discussion of the nickname "The Golden Snitch," given to him by Brendan Schaub. Novitzky doesn't comport as an egomaniac, but he clearly takes his stature seriously. Given the lack of certainty in the situation, which he admits, it's downright bizarre to see Novitzky openly lend credence to Jones' hypothetical defense.
Frank Mir tested positive for oral turinabol metabolites and blamed tainted kangaroo meat. Where was Novitzky to publicly go to bat for him? Mir also lacked Jones' explicit history of drug-testing malfeasance, as well as the mere fact Jones is a physically freakish marvel. Novitzky is a meticulous, thorough and typically intense investigator, yet in a case where there's billowing smoke, he is weirdly willing to suggest the lack of a fire.
You would assume that at this juncture in Jones' case, it might be problematic for Novitzky to speak out in this fashion; it could be seen as imprudent, trying to influence public opinion or worse. Yet, this is the second time Novitzky has made such comments in the last three months, and the last time he did it, he ended up sending out a personal statement to throw cold water on the MMA headlines that came about as a direct result of his comments on Bruce Buffer's "It's Time" podcast in October.
"I indicated that Jon's camp, the UFC and USADA were all working hard and together to determine the source of the prohibited substance in Jon's system. That is still the case," Novitzky wrote in a statement to MMA Fighting. "While all parties are hoping to find evidence of the unintentional or unavoidable use of the prohibited substance, at no time during the interview did I indicate that there were developments leading in that direction, as was the inference of the headline."
Novitzky also did an interview with MMA Fighting's Marc Raimondi 13 months ago, during which he was asked to reveal the "biggest surprise" he'd faced working for the UFC so far and responded by talking about how "completely bummed" he was when Jones tested positive before UFC 200, canceling the Cormier rematch the first time. He also talked about how the UFC 200 debacle was an enriching and uplifting experience:
"Starting really the next day and through that weekend, the amount of fighters and camps that came up to me saying, 'Hey man, this is real, keep your head up, we all see now those arguments of favoritism or conflicts of interest between the UFC and USADA, put that to rest. This is about as real as it gets.' I was really uplifted over those next few days from the feedback I got from other athletes and camps."
More than ever, the UFC would like to have Jones around to anchor major events, sell pay-per-views and generate revenue. It's not too crazy to think the UFC wanted Novitzky and his clout around in the first place to help influence USADA in cases like Jones' to help dodge a hypothetical four-year ban, nor is it too Machiavellian to think Novitzky, who is very media accessible, would use his position to impact public opinion. Maybe Novitzky just has an inexplicable, personal soft spot for Jones. I truly don't know the answer, but at this point, there can be no denying Novitzky's public discussion of Jones is downright disconcerting. He claims that busting Jones at UFC 200 validated the legitimacy of the UFC and USADA's relationship, yet repeatedly suggests lenience for Jones' failing a second time and for an actual steroid this time?
In this matter, it doesn't even matter if Jones is being truthful and he unwittingly took turinabol, because "The Golden Snitch's" actions are so incongruous with his past deeds and persona. Now, Novitzky isn't USADA and he's not "going after" fighters individually, but by all measures, the modern incarnation of Jones is an athlete that Novitzky would've tried to obsessively nail to the wall in the past. Now, all of a sudden, he's a substitute teacher who believes the class clown's dog ate his homework every day, stumping for him in public?
Then again, Jones has perpetually been in need of a good public relations person. It looks like he might have found one.

SHAMANISMThe origin and grass-roots beginning of religion in every culture.
Shamanism is the origin and grass-roots beginning of religion in every culture. Christ, Krishna, and Buddha were shamans and healers and their teachings produced the formal religions of the world. Today our allegiance and loyalty, for lack of any other believable option, is given to scientific evidence and proof. While religious systems, leaders and empires along with governments, political leaders, social philosophies, medical science and psychiatry are losing influence and respect. Many intelligent people are looking toward the shamanic roots of knowledge and healing with the hope of finding where the original potency and effectiveness was lost.
Shamanism is spiritual healing work performed in an altered state of consciousness induced by psychotropic plants, sleep deprivation, drumming, dancing and other techniques developed by cultures across the globe. Many Shamanic healers are effective herbal medicine doctors but they rely on intuition and spirit allies to accomplish their Spiritual healing work. Your physical, emotional and spiritual body are brought into harmony and equilibrium with Shamanic healing. When a shaman makes adjustments and heals an imbalance in your spirit, your emotional and physical state immediately go into catharsis to adjust and align with the new level of health and strength defined by your spiritual growth.
More about Shamanic Healing
The definitive study on shamanism was written by the late Mircea Eliade in his book, Shamanism: Tribes and indigenous people from around the globe identify an extraordinary individual to be this mediator with Spirit. This person may also be the medicine man, magician, sage, and/or healer. Western society has utilized the label "shaman" to refer to masters of the technique of ecstasy in any culture.
Interest in the abilities and techniques of shamanic healing has grown in western societies. Those of us born and raised in the West are realizing that western medicine, although very powerful and needed for certain diseases and injuries, has severe limitations for healing.
"One reason why the practices of energy healing have been kept so closely guarded is that they are often mistaken for a set of techniques, in the same way the Western medicine is sometimes regarded as a set of procedures. We mistakenly think that we can master energy healing by learning the rules. However, for the shaman it is not about the rules or ideas. It is about vision and Spirit. And while the healing practices often vary from village to village, the Spirit never varies. True healing is nothing less than an awakening to a vision of our healed nature and the experience of infinity." — Healer, Sage, Alberto Villoldo
Healing Comes From Within
Often a surgical procedure or a course of antibiotic medicine will produce a cure and change in a patient's symptoms but they return to the same or a similar disease because they did not change their thinking, their habits, their living circumstances, or whatever was causing the disease in the first place. The shaman connects with the patient's Spirit and works to bring the client back into harmony on multiple levels. From there, the client's renewed immune system is able to heal, nurture, and take care of itself.
Working with a shaman and developing your shamanic capacities include bringing your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual selves into alignment. Shamanism and ayahuasca work with and adjust the subtle energies defining and creating your body, mind and Spirit – We call it the luminous body and it defines your energy and capacity, and opens new potential and perception. Imagine learning to live with one foot in this world and one in eternity, traveling to worlds below and above earth, and returning to tell the stories. Imagine being free of your past, overcoming death and experiencing a deep connection with the infinite power of Spirit, while living a new life with a serene, expanded and peaceful mind.
We are fortunate to live in a time when our indigenous elders have chosen to share with the western world their ancient wisdom about the Earth and her people. From Siberia, Africa and Australia to ayahuasca ceremonies in the Americas, caretakers of the Earth who have lived unceasingly in harmony with Nature for thousands of years, are teaching us to wake up and learn to tend the planetary garden that sustains us so beautifully.

Although the definition of "meaningful use" remains somewhat unclear, a complete EHR will always be a vital component. But while MEDITECH is very good with patient data, it can miss important information that originates outside of it. Unstructured content like paper, faxes, images, photos, forms, etc., are missed by even the best systems.
To capture the information most EHRs overlook, many hospitals are creating an enterprise content management (ECM) strategy with OnBase. HIM scans in paper documents, and OnBase links it directly to MEDITECH. Then, users just double-click to bring up the documents related to that MEDITECH screen. Users retrieve clinical content, such as photos, PACs images and EKGs, in the same way.
Scanning and archiving systems aren't enough, and upgrades are often very expensive and take one to two years to implement. MEDITECH hospitals across the country are realizing that ECM solutions are deployed quickly and for a fraction of the cost.
- Physicians, nurses and staff have a secure one-stop shop for patient information in MEDITECH, improving adoption and satisfaction
- By using the same ECM system in departments such as billing and accounts receivable, payroll and personnel and accounts payable, hospitals create exponential value with one ECM system
- Creates a full patient picture and improves processes hospital-wide – without the time and expense of a major upgrade

Samsung Mobile Indoor Windsurfing - Day 2
The show kicked off with freestyle in the massive pool. Nicolas Akgazciyan (F-400, RRD/ Neil Pryde) convincingly demonstrated to the world that is truly is the undisputed indoor freestyle king by winning yet another elimination of indoor trickery. With a big scoring funnell and an amazing one handed switch chachoo 540 landing him a staggering 31 points, the Frenchman was on fire leaving the competition behind. Kevin Mevissen (H-79, JP/ Neil Pryde) celebrated his first ever indoor contest with a solid second place in freestyle racking up serious points with a radical shove it spock. Third went to Marcilio Browne (BRA-105, Naish/ Naish), who would go on to have a very successful night further in the contest. In the women's freestyle Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2/ North Sails) had the edge over the competing riders, with Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails) coming in second and Silvia Alba (E-67) in third.
The slalom contest saw the return of a familiar face in indoor windsurfing. Madman Robert Teritehau (F-2000, North Sails) had returned to the indoor arena for the slalom and jumping contest. And successfully so, as the New Caledonian raced his way straight into the final, where he beat the young generation in form of Kauli Seadi (BRA-253, Quatro/ Naish) in a superclose heat. Both riders covered the course within touching distance of each other. When Seadi tried to cut inside Teritehau at the second buoy, he went down leaving the door open for Teritehau to finish things off. In the women's final, Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2/ North Sails) was too fast for Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails). The finalists reached the first buoy in close combat, but Moreno slipped up at the gybe while Jaggi completed the turn without failure. Jaggi's lead proved to be too big for Moreno to catch up.
The night was wrapped up with the main event, the jump. While the ramp initially appeared to be more challenging than the riders are accustomed to, both men an women redeemed themselves in the finals with a mindblowing repertoire of massive jumps. The men's final was a showdown between Josh Angulo (CV-1) who now officially represents Cabo Verde, Thomas Traversa (F-3, Tabou/ Gaastra), Kauli Seadi (BRA-253, Quatro/ Naish) and Marcilio Browne (BRA-105, Naish/ Naish). Man of today's jumping match has to be Browne, who stuck the most perfect backloops of the evening including a 30.5 one on his opening jump. Kauli Seadi (BRA-253, Quatro/ Naish) was giving his training buddy a run for his money with three huge pushloops, one perfect and two unprecedented one footed pushloops that the Brazilian nearly stuck. Browne secured his victory with a big one footed forward. Angulo kept pushing for the one handed backloop and came remarkably close twice, but it wasn't enough to bring him the win. Browne went for the jackpot on his final run with a double forward, but didn't quite get the second rotation around. Still it was more than enough to bring him his first indoor jumping elimination victory.
The women were right up there with the men today, figuratively and literally. Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails) stuck to of the biggest forwards of the day, men's or women's, racking up 30 and an maxed out 31.5 points. Moreno's third jump was a radical backloop attempt, but though she didn't quite stick that one, the jumping victory was clearly and rightfully hers. Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2/ North Sails) came in second before Silvia Alba (E-67) in third.
All results are posted below. The action continues tomorrow, so makes sure to stay tuned to www.pwaworldtour.com for the second and final day of the Samsung Mobile Indoor Windsurfing 2006.

vacuum cleaner
vacuum cleaner, mechanical device using a draft of air to remove dust, loose dirt, or other particulate matter from dry surfaces. It is especially useful on highly textured surfaces, such as carpets and upholstery, that are difficult to clean by wiping or brushing. Usually, an electrically powered fan is used to produce a zone in which the air pressure is below atmospheric pressure, causing a draft of air to flow through the material to be cleaned, carrying the small particles with it. The draft passes through a filter bag which traps the particles, and the flow of air is then discharged back into the atmosphere. In some machines the electric motor and wiring are sealed so that wet surfaces can be cleaned safely.

Atlantic Zeiser Presents DELTA 105i at drupa
Monday, May 14, 2012
Press release from the issuing company
Atlantic Zeiser Group, a leading developer and provider of modules and integrated end-to-end system solutions for security printing, is advancing the development of new applications for its inkjet digital printer ranges. With the DELTA 105i it offers an innovative inkjet component for the high-speed printing of variable data. The new Rapida 105 from Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) is an excellent example of this. For coding sheets and flat packaging, the DELTA 105i digital printer and the VERICAM verification system from Atlantic Zeiser can be optionally integrated. This combination ensures maximum print quality and speeds between 7,500 and 14,000 sheets/hour. The Rapida 105 with the integrated DELTA printers will be shown by KBA at drupa in Hall 16, Stand C47.
Atlantic Zeiser in hall 11, stand C56, will also showcase a combination of special printing requirements such as 4C card printing, coding and serialising a flat packaging carton with different barcodes and Datamatrix codes as well as individualisation using industrial digital printing for secure excise stamps to seal a package. The DELTA 105i printing module especially meets the demands of cost efficient high speed coding and serialising in security printing. Integration into production machines such as winding machines or cross-cutters is a core competence at Atlantic Zeiser. These include special machine frames that can be integrated flexibly and easily. This combination makes it easier for paper manufacturers and suppliers to track batches in the event of possible quality level deviations and assures public and private security printers of transparent quality management and sustainable quality assurance.
More security, higher quality and speed
The variable data printed onto the security paper represents the unique identification features for every sheet after delivery that is used to produce bank notes or security documents. These check codes contain important production information. If queries arise later on relating to the quality of the end product, the check code can be read and the paper batch traced throughout the entire supply chain. This ensures that any errors occurring can be quickly identified and rectified later on and means optimised quality management for everyone involved. The check data can also be used for track & tracing purposes at subsequent additional production stages.
The digital inkjet printer DELTA 105i uses either UV or water-based inks for printing. The integration package includes a corresponding UV curing module from Atlantic Zeiser as well as a system controller with integrated ink supply for seamless control of the production and information flow of the attached modules. The camera-based verification system VERICAM also guarantees 100 percent quality control of the printing.
Atlantic Zeiser will be exhibiting industrial digital print solutions at drupa in Hall 11, Stand C56 under the slogan 'Beyond Printing'.

Why Blade Runner 2049 will be better than you think
Nowadays, it seems like every other movie is some form of remake, prequel, or sequel, and they definitely aren't all created equal. While it's easy to be cynical about your average Hollywood cash grab, sometimes there are legitimate reasons to breathe new life into a franchise—and Blade Runner: 2049 looks like a perfect example of the latter. Hype is high for this belated follow-up to the 1982 cult classic, but here are a few reasons it might be better than you think.

The C.R.A.F.T. of orchestral playing now is:
Consistency Reliability Accuracy Focus Translucent
What about this word translucent? That seems to stick out a bit. How would one go about practicing it? What is meant by translucent here is the ability to blend in with anything so you do not 'disturb' the blend or ensemble. It is the ability of doing what needs to be done and no more than that. No rough edges, no 'risky' chances, and the ability to hide or disguise your weaknesses. It is practical and safe advice if you are a last minute sub for someone on a heavy concert. It might be a somewhat useful strategy for a freelancer as well at times.
Interesting that the uniform of the orchestra is black and white just like a keyboard. And basically a person is auditioning to be a key on the orchestral keyboard.
The orchestral uniform in brass playing right now is getting to be a one size fits all in terms of musical content. To want a uniform sound has its merits but not all music can fit into that confinement. Orchestral players can be so obsessed with evenness of sound they can miss the spirit of the music. Decibel levels are not the only means of color change. The biggest change comes when there is an actual character or frequency change. Then the change is on the level of vibration and sentiment. Finding things on the level of technique only works with a limited part of the human instrument and can never be a replacement for connection to the essence.
Repetition is a very powerful tool. Almost everything has an element of repetition. What is practicing? It is doing things over and over again until it becomes 'second' nature, second nature means it is in our programming and our automatic systems repeat it. BUT, depending on how we practice, we also put our attitudes, emotional states and physical qualities into the programming as well.
Most people have had the experience of reading a book or seeing a movie more than once. Isn't it amazing the things we pick and notice after a second viewing or reading? Same things happen when listening to music over and over again. And with thoughtful practice we can put together and develop other qualities. Even the development of muscular strength happens with repetition. The challenge is to not let the the repeated efforts get so automatic in the practice room that they become unconscious. I know people who are like orchestral excerpt vending machines. Put in a quarter, and out comes a nice prepackaged excerpt. The problem in my view is it can sound stale or out of date meaning past the fresh stage.
Out of date, that is an interesting one. That can get into current fashion, the orchestral uniform of any given era. If a person does want an orchestral job, they need to fit into that uniform. Is it possible to wear the uniform but still put the soul of oneself into it somehow? That would be what I would suggest. Then you don't totally sell your soul.
I can just imagine the great Jedi master Yoda saying, "Good intonation, rhythm and control, not music does this make!" Is the 'Force' with you when you play?

Lyrics Alley (Paperback)Leila Aboulela (author)
- Publisher out of stock
In 1950's Sudan, the powerful Abuzeid dynasty has amassed a fortune through their trading firm. With Mahmoud Bey at its helm, they can do no wrong. But when Mahmoud's son, Nur, the brilliant, handsome heir to the business empire, suffers a debilitating accident, the family stands divided in the face of an uncertain future. As British rule nears its end, the country is torn between modernizing influences and the call of traditions past--a conflict reflected in the growing tensions between Mahmoud's two wives: the younger, Nabilah, longs to return to Egypt and escape "backward-looking" Sudan; while Waheeba lives traditionally behind veils and closed doors. It's not until Nur asserts himself outside the cultural limits of his parents that his own spirit and the frayed bonds of his family begin to mend.
Moving from Sudanese alleys to cosmopolitan Cairo and a decimated postcolonial Britain, this sweeping tale of desire, loss, despair, and reconciliation is one of the most accomplished portraits ever written about Sudanese society at the time of independence.
Publisher: Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press
Number of pages: 310
Weight: 363 g
Dimensions: 208 x 137 x 25 mm
--Short-listed for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (South Asia and Europe)
--Long listed for the Orange Prize for Fiction
"Aboulela's vivid . . . fleet and engrossing narrative . . . [is full of] a generosity of spirit that extends to all her characters."--The New York Times Book Review
"A novel as thoughtful as it is evocative . . . Aboulela writes with precision and depth of feeling."--The Boston Globe
"Beautifully rendered . . . The prose is smooth and clear. . . . As a tale of stricken love between two souls, Lyrics Alley is impressive."--The Guardian
"Leila Aboulela's Lyrics Alley gives us the rich and complex world of a Sudanese patriarch in the 1950s who presides over a household containing two wives, various nieces, two sons--a new world full of modern ambitions and ancient problems. I read it with the delight one has suddenly stumbling on lush and abundant hidden gardens behind foreign city walls, various with its own life and laws, and infinitely satisfying."--Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress
"[Aboulela's] breakthrough novel . . . Real, compelling, and ultimately moving . . . Highly recommended for readers who enjoy family sagas set against a political backdrop, such as Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half a Yellow Sun."--Library Journal (starred review)
"Rich in detail and generous in spirit toward its complex characters, [Lyrics Alley] showcases Aboulela's talent for connecting political and personal upheaval. [An] elegantly written family epic that brings to mind Naguib Mahfouz's The Cairo Trilogy."--Kirkus Reviews
"Haunting . . . Keeps the reader gripped . . . A tale of powerful feelings and potent words . . . this visceral, epic novel . . . gives fascinating insights into Sudanese society, with different characters embodying the dramatic clash between tradition and modernity. . . . Vividly evoking the alleyways of Sudan, Egypt, and Britain, [Lyrics Alley] also movingly and meticulously traces the hidden pathways of the mind and heart with all its anger, shame, hate and love."--The Telegraph (UK)
"Each scene is rich with period detail . . . Aboulela has the gift of making her readers care about her characters. This she achieves partly by making us privy to their thoughts, and revealing to us all their conflicts, contradictions, petty vanities, hopes, and amnitions. . . . [She] has created a story for all the senses, one to be savored at leisure."--Financial Times
"In beautiful, subtle prose . . . Aboulela explores themes of love, faith, and divided families with a tender restraint."--Marie Claire (UK)
"An assured and highly readable portrait of a family in flux and two societies--Sudan and Egypt--on the cusp on momentous changes. . . . Lyrics Alley is an evocative description of the struggle between tradition and modernization, a conflict that is still being fought in present-day Islamic culture."--New Internationalist (3 stars)
"A tender love story; a family saga, and a portrait of 1950s Sudan teetering on the brink of modernity."--The Scotsman
"Leila Aboulela writes with tenderness and sensitivity about the hopes of a country on the verge of independence. Through the eyes of the Abuzeid family, we witness the competing claims of the political and the intimate, of modernity and tradition, of duty and individual freedom. The resulting narrative is at once compelling and illuminating, full of the color and cadence of Aboulela's homeland."--Tahmima Anam, author of A Golden Age
"A superb family epic . . . Vivid, beautifully original."--Lesley McDowell, The Herald (Glasgow)
"[A] graceful and elegantly told saga . . . Aboulela writes with a light touch. . . . She uses words to powerful and sometimes surprising effect, language that seems to spring naturally from the very environment she's describing. . . . This beautiful book is a testament to what might have been as well as what might be."--Jane Charteris, Literary Review

Once in a while, you can put your hand on a beautiful lens, one that pleasantly surprises you beyond all expectations. That happened to me a few weeks ago, when a good friend passed me a nice copy of Nikon's AF180mm f/2.8ED tele.
My very first shot with the lens – even before I paid for it…
I have always been a fan of narrow depth-of-field pictures, and especially so for shooting close candids of people. But if on top you also get a crack sharp image, excellent micro-contrast and soft creamy blurs, the party really gets on!
A chilly January morning at the Belgian coast.
I have no doubt that you will get to see more pictures from this lens on blog posts to come…

We have only one home in this whole universe and that's what makes our planet all the more special and indeed, quite fragile. As much as possible, we should exert every effort to preserve our environment and prevent any further pollutants from affecting our vulnerable atmosphere. That's why a good number of businesses and even individuals have taken it upon themselves to "go green." It can begin as simply as cleaning up your area and disposing your waste properly. When we learn to take better care of our precious resources, that means the future generations to come after us can also enjoy and hopefully maintain all the beauty and grandeur that Mother Nature has graciously bestowed upon us.
For businesses opting for an environmentally conscious slant, there are some helpful suggestions to keep them on track. By installing tanks that collect rain water or choosing solar power to manage their hot water systems, these improvements go a long way to increasing their overall sustainability. Even in the procurement of equipment, there are recycled plastic variants that become possible office supplies. Furniture can innovatively be repurposed and manufactured from recycled rubber aside from other materials.
If meetings and conferences can be scheduled online, that slashes budgets for travel costs and reduces the risk of releasing possible pollutants into the air we all breathe. These different changes add up and are bound to eventually make a difference. Most probably in some way, these pro-environment efforts might lead to additional savings for the company. That's good for the bottom line and our lungs in the long run.
Just by making some adjustments to your office paper use, these recycling schemes can directly influence and decrease expenses. Try not to keep wasting paper, by using and unintentionally printing documents filled with errors that are needlessly thrown away. Designate a scratch paper drawer or bin where the staff can still use the clean side of these used sheets. Photocopiers have also jumped on the environmental bandwagon by offering duplex printing. This means that both sides of the paper can be used for your photocopying needs. As for what happens to the scrap left from the paper shredder, these can be sent to a commercial recycling facility. Or the office workers can take these home for their compost or mulch heaps. Just give back to nature what has so generously been given to you.
By going green, these preferred practices can attract new customers. Your initiatives define what you value and if your clients share in those same sentiments, then they definitely wouldn't mind at all supporting your business. Every company should strive to practice good environmental management. What you do in your capacity as a business entity and even on a personal level does have a positive and hopefully not a negative effect on the world we live in. It would be best to maximize the utilization of resources without unnecessarily wasting them. With climate change being the prevailing issue and disaster preparedness as a safety concern, your decisions in how to deal with these action items can determine the longevity of your enterprise. Your people will truly appreciate your efforts to keep our earth as clean and green as it can be.
More than ever, our society is making the conscientious decision to be eco-friendly or environmentally friendly. There is that willingness to change for the better so that everyone benefits. The usual practice of switching the lights off or taking out the trash are all well and good. But, the main intent places sustainability and preservation at the forefront.
The alternative is far too depressing and might inadvertently spell our doom. If we choose to ignore how our adverse behavior can negatively affect our present surroundings, then consider ourselves to be at a loss. Forget about enjoying the cool refreshing waters of a natural stream or breathing in the view of an impressive mountain range or even taking in the wonders of our forests. If we fail in our responsibility to look after these gifts, then that definitely would be such a waste.
Positive change should begin now by considering products that have minimal effect on current ecosystems. What adjustments can be made to lessen our carbon footprint? These paradigm shifts should be actively disseminated and shared to everyone. The start may come from a personal capacity, but the end game should move towards a more global inclusivity.
Consumers must realize and embrace the power they yield in making those critical eco-friendly choices. It's consciously going for a hybrid vehicle that doesn't pollute as much as the regular gas guzzlers on the road. It's taking advantage of natural light so that electricity bills become more manageable. It's also supporting products that can degrade over time causing little or no stress to the status quo. And if more of the market buys into this way of thinking, the environment wins and we all can reap the good will and benefits.
Everyone can actively participate by following the environmental mantra of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Do we really need all that we have or can we live with less? With what we do have, through our combined creative minds, maybe we can find other uses for them because we believe in the process of upcycling. And if there are recyclable materials like aluminum cans, plastic, paper, glass, then these should be forwarded to the nearest recycling facility, so it can be transformed into something that can be used again.
Water conservation should be top priority. These should be complemented with how we effectively manage our power consumption as well. Trees should continuously be replanted so that fresh oxygen gets replenished and everyone can breathe a little easier.
There should be the strict monitoring and proper disposal of hazardous or toxic waste. Should this seep into our local water sources, what would people be able to drink? If we all need to join watchdog organizations to do just that, then we should do so. If you don't mind drinking filth, then you don't have to worry or even bother because that's what's going to happen if we don't keep an eye out for unscrupulous polluters.
Getting around should also be eco-friendly in a sense that we should walk or bike more instead of using vehicles that contribute to air pollution. Better to take public transportation or join a carpool so that it maximizes transport efficiency and somehow minimizes our carbon footprint. Our bodies will be more grateful for the extra exercise and our lungs will take in fresher air.
Purchasing more energy efficient products also contributes in a positive manner. Light bulbs that consume less energy but last longer help save the planet. Little things really add up like buying produce that are sourced locally lessen the transportation expense compare to having it imported from a farther farm. This results in lessening the need for packaging as well.
Maybe we can even be more disciplined in picking up after ourselves. The saying that cleanliness is next to Godliness probably means that we're taking better care of the Creator's creations. We are being more responsible stewards of this land.
Endorsing recycled products also support the business that manufacture these items. Let's reward these earth-caring corporate citizens by promoting their goods. Actively bringing a reusable bag on your grocery trips prevents more plastic from ending up in landfills. For more information, it would be good to get in touch with various environmental groups. They have the knowhow to help us all be eco-friendlier in how we conduct ourselves.
A simpler mindset may be the calling for those who deeply care for the earth. There may be some necessary sacrifices like foregoing some modern conveniences or some luxuries, but the ultimate payoff is a cleaner, greener world. How many fast food items do we need to consume or is that SUV really the most efficient in terms of mileage? There's a balancing act between doing the right thing for our children's future and just being totally selfish by just grabbing everything in sight.
Eco-friendly businesses really need that ongoing support. They're the ones who are quite aware of the consequences of their actions. That's why they only have those products that help more instead of harm the present environment. If their customers multiply, then the good work they do in preserving the natural order of how our earth functions inevitably follows.
When clients opt for products that don't pollute, they've already demonstrated how much more conscientious they are compared to their competitors. They are already options readily available like green poster printing that gives consumers the choice in being more pro-earth. This type of printing was innovated in order to minimize damage to our present ecosystems. If everyone who lived in this world was made more aware, then the destruction to our environment would cease and hopefully be eradicated forever. With eco-friendly printing, you not only get to save money, but you also get to do your part in taking better care of this place that we all call home.
By being eco-friendly, that entails making use of the most advanced environmental technologies to the printing process, the ink used, and the paper where the final output is placed. This printing technology has evolved into waterless printing, the application of non-VOC ink, and implementing FSC paper which translates into better care for the resources at hand and thus leads to less stress on our planet's limited resources.
Prolab Digital has been leading the way in eco-friendly printing by incorporating BIOFLEX into the manufacture of their vinyl banner products. Under favorable weather conditions, this revolutionary material has been found to be non-toxic and can last for quite a number of years in either an outdoor or indoor setting. BIOflex has been found to be RHOS compliant and there are no traces of heavy metals, pesticides, bleaching agents, DOP or similar plasticizers, glycol either or carcinogenic coloring agents in this substance. The opacity is provided by the inclusion of fine particle limestone and the flexibility is derived from plasticizers of organic origin. The content of BIOflex is 80% acquired from other sources that are not from the usual petroleum strain. Landfills are known to have microbes that feed on the BIOflex PVC and effectively breaks it down. Add to this natural decomposition is the landfill's heat, pressure and very little moisture. ASTM D5526 can attest to this effect.
With the environmentally sensitive staff of Prolab Digital, whatever your vinyl banner needs may be, they are more than capable of getting it done. For your upcoming event or sustainable marketing campaign, look into how eco-friendly printing choices with biodegradable properties can build your business without causing undue harm to the planet.
There's no need to worry what happens to your banners when your activation protocols have expired, these banners that are available in any size and at negotiable quantities will also gently return to the earth. So, the proper disposal of these collaterals will always be accomplished in a responsible manner. Supporting your business needs doesn't have to be at the expense of affecting the natural order of things.
As Southern California's most preferred choice in providing outdoor advertisements in all shapes and sizes, their environmental technologies also share positive points with your target market. Don't be swayed by other companies that may offer a low price, but you cannot be sure if their products have been found to be safer and cleaner. Brands from all over the world continue to trust in the quality and unparalleled craftsmanship of Prolab Digital. Wherever your business may be located in United States, they have a reliable network of professionals who are on call for the accurate and reliable installation of the products that you have made with them.
