How my widowhood journey at 28 helped me to become a successful entrepreneur. Picture yourself at twenty-eight. You were young, full of life, excitement about the future around every corner, building your career, married, settling down and either already well into motherhood or gearing up for it….pretty close? On top of all of that, you probably had a bit of an ego, just a bit. Enough of an ego so that you thought that your tool box of life skills was plumb full and you could handle anything that life threw at you.
Yeah me too…well, almost anyway.
On March 1st, 2006 my 30 year old husband of not quite 3 years, Trevor, died suddenly and unexpectedly.
My fairytale life came crashing down around me faster than a screaming rollercoaster. Not only was the love of my life gone from this earth in the blink of an eye, so was the future I thought I was going to have along with the financial security that his 'bread winning' career brought to our life. Our ongoing joke was that he paid more in taxes in a year than I made in the Travel Industry.
If you're an Entrepreneur, you will agree with me that we are a gritty bunch. We HAVE to have grit and tenacity to be successful, business will chew us up and spit us out if not.
I am the person I am today because of his death, my grief and the asshole 'friends' that weren't there for me when I needed them most. By now, maybe you're drawing your own conclusions about how these two are related and I'm guessing it goes a little like this…"You're SO strong".
Am I close?
Well just hold on there sister, I'm going to share with you the real reasons of how being widowed at the ripe age of twenty eight taught me to be a fierce, compassionate, committed, humble Entrepreneur. You will likely be surprised to see how the lessons from his death are actually common lessons that most people can relate to their own lives.
Ya ya ya…call it a cliche all you want!! I am fully aware of how much this word gets thrown around these days…everyone is 'so blessed' and 'so grateful' all over social media but when you get down to it and actually practice Daily Gratitude, your entire life changes.
You see when I started focusing on finding reasons to express my gratitude and consistently appreciating the small things in life, it was nearly impossible to take those small things, and subsequently, the big things for granted.
I took my marriage and my husband and my perfectly planned future for granted and then one day it was all gone, just like that. Can you imagine what that feels like? If you've ever lost someone very close to you that meant a lot to you, you'll understand that gut wrenching feeling of 'why didn't I say I love you one more time?' and 'why were we too lazy to do something special on Valentine's Day?'.
So, yeah, Gratitude is a real thing, not just an Insta hashtag in my world. When I started really paying attention to where my gratitude was being expressed, something crazy started happening in my business; it started to grow and started to feel easier. As if that wasn't enough, I started to like myself more and feel like there was so much more to life.
This has been a more recent development and realization in my life. It actually came to me through the lyrics of one of my favourite singers, P!nk and it nearly knocked me off my feet!
"I've already seen the bottom so there's nothing left to fear"
Yup, I've definitely seen and even lived on the bottom. The day Trevor died, I got a call at work from a Social Worker at the hospital asking me to come down because my husband had been brought in by ambulance. The entire drive over to the hospital, I had no fear at all. When I was led into 'that' little room in the back, I still had no fear. When the doctor leaned across the table and said "I'm so sorry, we weren't able to save him, your husband has died", I still had no fear. I planned a funeral, submitted life insurance claims and picked up his ashes and I had no fear.
In my business I allowed the fear of rejection to hold me back, to stop me. I allowed the fear of judgement to hold me back. I even allowed my fear of success to stop me in my tracks more than I care to admit.
HOW was this possible? In all honesty, I can't tell you, I just don't know. What P!nk's lyrics reminded me was that I have absolutely nothing left to fear, I've already experienced the worst life had to offer me so it was time for me to let go of the fear and embrace the adventure of entrepreneurship.
As an Entrepreneur, I know that I have become POWERFUL in my pursuit of success and growth because I have no reason to fear the unknown. The unknown is the most exciting part of the adventure!
What Is My Legacy?
Have you ever written a eulogy? Most people will probably answer that with a strong NO…fair enough. I insisted on writing Trevor's eulogy and insisted on sharing it at his memorial. You might ask yourself "why would she do that?" and even more mind boggling is 'how'…that is a whole other story! The WHY is significant.
Trevor was only thirty years old when he left this earth but he was a special guy. We actually ended up holding two memorial services in different cities and there were hundreds of people at each. One of his Trade School instructors from more than ten years earlier arrived unannounced and spoke at one of the services. What's the significance of this story? He left a legacy. Someone else that spoke at one of the services said this:
"He lived so loud, his echo will never fade"
The fact that this guy that I married and loved and lost had left such a stamp on the world, inspires me daily to build my own legacy. I know now that my legacy is not what I'm leaving for people, it is what I'm leaving in people. Widowhood gave me a deep understanding of this and because my husband left such a strong legacy of love, joy, adventure and knowledge, I strive daily in my business to touch people's lives in the same way.
Living my life and running my business with this desire of building a legacy is like having the North Star to follow on a dark night. It is the brightness on darker days, it's the happy song after a string of ballads, it's like a second piece of chocolate cake without a belly ache! Knowing and feeling that my actions everyday are going to impact somebody else in a positive way fills me up and drives me to do more of that. The saying: "We Rise by Lifting Others" is relevant in everyday life as well as in my business. I've learned through my quest to leave a legacy like Trevor's that when I keep my focus on lifting others up, I get to rise with them.
How My Widowhood Journey at 28 Helped Me To Become A Successful Entrepreneur
So that leads me back to How My Widowhood Journey at 28 Helped Me To Become A Successful Entrepreneur. In short, I've grown into a deeper, more humble, more appreciative, less selfish person and business owner because my husband died. I have experienced this growth, not because I set out to become a better person but because I had to grow through the pain and anguish if I wanted my life to move forward and at twenty eight…I wanted my life to move forward!
All of these lessons, and dozens more have brought me to the place I am now almost thirteen years later. My compassion has grown but my tolerance for excuses has not…excuses from myself or from my clients. I have learned that it is possible to hold people up and walk with them while Coaching them on their health journey but I can still hold them accountable to themselves and their goals. The journey through widowhood led me to my career and lessons I continue to learn because of it are what have helped me be successful in that career. I'm not grateful that I became a widow at such a young age, but I'm grateful that I was open enough to learn the lessons and experience the growth that I have because of it.

Trichophyton rubrum is a fungus (dermatophytic fungus). It belongs to phylum ascomycota of class Euascomycetes. It exclusively colonize in upper most layer of dead skin cells. Trichophyton is responsible for causing athlete foot, nail fungal infection, ring worm appearance and jock itch. Trichophyton rubrum consists of complex of species i.e. morphotypes which are geographically patterned. Mostly of them are described as distinct taxa. like T. Megninii, T. Raubitschekii, T. Soudanence, T. Gourvilii. It is the common cause of dermatophytosis all over the World. Dermatophytosis occurs on skin of feet, and between finger nails. This fungal disease appear in various colors.
Trichophyton Rubrum Symptoms
Trichophyton rubrum causes fungal infection named dermatophytosis. It occurs on the skin of feet and in between finger nails. It may appear in different shades like white, brown, yellow and red. It also have different texture like it may be waxy, smooth or cottony in texture. Dermatophytosis can be observed easily but its accurate diagnosis is very difficult because of its appearance. Trichophyton rubrum can cause athlete foot, ring worm, jock itch and nail fungal infection. So all these conditions show different symptoms according to their texture, site of infection and color of appearance.
Trichophyton Rubrum Pictures
Trichophyton Rubrum Causes
Trichophyton rubrum is the main and only cause of dermatophytosis. It is not a life threatening infection. The pathogen i.e. trichophyton rubrum have the ability to secrete and produce proteolytic enzymes which are proved more virulent. Trichophyton rubrum enters in to skin via degrading the keratin of skin. Keratin is a fibrous protein present mainly in skin. Trichophyton rubrum invades through stratum corneum which is the skin outer most layer of epidermis. As a result, dermatophysis occurs in the form of athlete foot, jock itch, fungal infection between fingers and finger nails. It is a painful disease.
Trichophyton Rubrum Treatment
Trichophyton rubrum causes skin fungal infection. It occurs on foot basically so treatment is selected on the basis of severity. Topical medications are used which involve anti fungal agents like miconazole nitrate, clotrimazole, terbinafine hydrochloride, tolnaftate, undecylenic acid and butenafine hydrochloride. Ketoconazole is highly recommended in oral dosage form for severe skin disease. Long term use of ketoconazole in oral dosage form is not recommended because it can harm liver due to its 1st pass effect. Photodynamic treatment, laser treatment, activation of rose bengal dye with light specially by green laser light. Fingernail infection will take about 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover.
Trichophyton Rubrum Life Cycle
Trichophyton rubrum causes skin infection named dermatophytosis. This pathogen can survive in in-vitro conditions i.e. outside the body. Outside the body it exists in the form of a spore. Trichophyton rubrum lets spores desquamate and this is the reason it remains over full in most of the human habitat. This pathogen shows growth in moist conditions that's why it readily grows on skin surface. With moisture, warm conditions are also necessary. It spread with normal flora on stratum corneum of epidermal layer which is the upper most layer of skin.

IMAX Corporation smashes global box office record
By Brendan Swift
The IMAX Corporation has more than doubled its previous global box office record after taking $US546 million last year amid rumours that a major distributor is considering buying the exhibition technology company.
IMAX Corporation chief executive Richard L. Gelfond said the group's box office per theatre average grew by 50 percent year-on-year and the company plans to grow the size of its global network.
"Looking ahead to 2011, we have more visibility into our future film slate than we have ever had, we will grow the size of our global network and we believe that this year's strong box office performance will further fuel the theatre signing momentum we enjoyed in 2010 into 2011," he said in a statement.
IMAX Melbourne Museum manager Richard Morrison said the local cinema had posted a record number of admissions in the second half of 2010 – more than 200,000 – which was approximately 14.5 per cent higher than the previous record.
"There's no doubt it's been a good year for us," he said.
Melbourne's IMAX ranks as the world's third largest screen while IMAX Theatre Sydney is the world's largest. Since July 2008, IMAX Corporation has also installed its projection technology in certain Hoyts Cinemas, although they use a different digital system projected onto smaller screens.
Morrison said the strength of the local result was not only boosted by strong Hollywood titles, but IMAX productions such as Hubble 3D and a revival of James Cameron's first 3D film, Ghosts of the Abyss, as part of the Melbourne Museum's Titanic exhibition. "It far exceeded my expectations … and did huge business for us," he said.
The global box office result, which doubled the previous record of $US270 million in 2009, was bolstered by an increase in titles with a record 16 films converted to IMAX format compared to 13 in the previous year.
Nonetheless, the company's original documentaries, such as Under the Sea 3D and Deep Sea 3D, still contributed $US41 million to its 2010 box office tally.
The result followed an announcement by the company late last month that it was not aware of any reason why its shares had posted a recent strong rise.
Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported that Sony may offer $US40 per share for the company and that the Walt Disney Co was also eyeing up the group. In September 2009, IMAX denied that it was in discussions with Disney, or that the distributor was about to acquire the company, after the release of a false press release.
Among the 2011 IMAX lineup is the James Cameron-backed Australian thriller Sanctum (although it will only be shown on smaller IMAX digital screens), Sucker Punch, which includes the work of local VFX house Animal Logic, and George's Miller's Happy Feet 2.
By the end of last September, 470 theatres were using IMAX exhibition technology across 45 countries.

Singaporean—and Malay especially—history has always been tied to the empire and the last king of Singapura [1344–c. 1414]. They call him Parameswara, but he had about four names which he kept changing. His final name was Iskandar, which was in fact after Alexander the Great. From the 14th century, this part of the world was a Muslim territory. But what is not known is the earlier history, from between 6th or 7th century to 14th century. This earlier kingdom was not Muslim; the people were Hindu, Buddhist and animist. As I did more reading, I realised that it's quite a waste to not know your first king. My effort is to make it known that the history didn't start in the 14th century; it started from sixth or seventh century and with this first king.
Dapunta Hyang is believed to have had an army of 20,000 men, but it's not proven if he was a conqueror. He wanted to transmit knowledge and consciousness. Most foreigners, colonialists or outsiders would call groups of people here in the sixth or seventh century barbaric and primitive. But Dapunta Hyang made temples, and what is a temple for? It's for meditation and the sharing of knowledge about consciousness. Consciousness is also about how to be good: it teaches people to stop robbing, stop stealing, stop raping and stop killing. You can imagine that in those centuries, people's logic and ethics were, in a way, barbaric.
I started from scratch around 1998. But that initial search was not about this king. The search was about the original people of this island, loosely called the 'sea gypsies', or Orang Laut. For a few years, I kept looking for their territories, because they are very hidden people. Even the marine police could not find them. Bintang, Indonesia, is about two and a half hours by ferry [from Singapore]. Down there, there are hundreds of islands and the Orang Laut's territory is around there. They keep moving; that's why it's hard to follow them. They're not hiding, but you can't follow them.
That term is problematic. They are not really gypsies, and in fact they are not nomadic. They have about fifteen islands that they visit over one year, or four seasons. They move depending on the hot seasons, cold seasons, and because in certain seasons the fish are in one place and not another. All of these places are their home. I don't consider them nomadic because they don't move aimlessly. They follow a route. They take one year to go back to the same place. The Orang Laut also don't have a written language. They don't even have passports. Their boat, their design, is their passport. The marine police ensures no one imitates their boats. They are a protected group of people.
The entire process of making the ship is a laborious one. To prepare and tie the rattan alone required three men over a period of one month. We are working on a very tight timeline to build the ship onsite. I have two technicians from Singapore with me, and three from Venice. They work very hard and we have barely two weeks left. It is still a long way to go, but I am happy with the progress. This will be the fifth ship I've made and is a way to question techniques of ship-making. When I researched Viking ships, I learned that they used nails and metal to build them. Some other ship-making strategies involve a lot of materials that I'm sometimes unfamiliar with. And in some cases, there were not many materials to use. You may have only had two or three materials and only two or three tools. A knife, and a big nail to knock. In a way, the use of primitive tools evolved into a technique. That challenged me because I have the luxury of materials. My paint, for example, is from London, my canvas and paper is from London, some from Paris, some from China. So I began to change the materials I use. I use natural material only found in Southeast Asia like string, wax and rattan. Rattan is famous for making many things like baskets, boats and even houses. It's free and grows in abundance. If you are architecturally well-informed and you are given only this material, you can make something. I completely departed from my past luxury of expensive paper and expensive brushes and started to use these cheap things [laughs]. I challenged myself and asked, 'How creative am I?' And how good am I at the manipulation of a material?' This is what you cannot learn in art school. The challenge is internal and mental. We always want a shortcut. I am simply trying to improve my way to deal with the material to make a big vessel.
The design and structure has taken me a few years to develop. For the Venice Biennale, the difficulty lies in narrating a story based on two different things. It isn't just about the ship and its history and the Orang Laut, it's also about the performers of mak yong, an ancient operatic tradition. How is one to put them together? Contemporary audiences are no longer interested in this type of music. The singers use the language, intonations and mannerisms of the ancient Malay. In Singapore, the Malay don't speak like that anymore; their spelling and pronunciation has evolved many times. For example, in the past, my name was pronounced 'Zai-ah'. Then it changed to 'Zai-yeuh'. The opera singers will say 'ow', which means yes. The Malay here don't say 'ow' anymore. They say 'ya'. From the 14th century, language was refined to unite the people. The whole of Southeast Asia is a trading point where people must find a common language with which to trade and exchange. Singapore is special because we are so multicultural: there are many Chinese, Malay and Indian people. The Orang Laut speak Malay, of course, but can incorporate some Hindi, Chinese and Vietnamese.
The portraits and audio recordings of mak yong performers are new additions to the work and were made specifically for Venice.
Trading is important part of Southeast Asian history because it was the beginning of exchange, and you must find a language to communicate. Farmers didn't go fishing, so they went down to the sea and said, 'We want fish'. And then the fishermen said, 'Well, we want rice! We want fruit!' This evolved as people came to use silver or metal or coins, things that they considered better than fish. I think democracy is connected to the introduction of economy through currency, and trade is a process of developing respect in the democratic exchange of something. We are not here to rob each other. There is a lot of robbing in these states, which have been very famous for pirates here for hundreds of years. But I cannot define a clear idea of what democracy is based on European or American theories. It's quite different in certain regions in Southeast Asia, because it isn't based on Western philosophy.
I have worked with Wichai for five years already. I'm very interested in him because he comes from a region in Thailand where there is one of the original dances related to the mak yong. They are also Hindu-based, not Buddhist. He has many memories about that. His mother, uncle and cousin are related to the opera I wanted to be connected with him, this person born connected to the source. For a few years since we met, I would go to Thailand. I brought him to Mantang island four years ago where we stayed for a few days to document and archive.
How can I describe it? It is not what Malay opera sounds like now. Basically, their kind of music, singing and dancing, only they do it. No one else does it. That's the reason I'm very passionate about it and have been following them for the past 14 or 15 years.
Well, there are a lot of artists in Singapore. I think everyone chooses specific ways to work, intellectually, conceptually or even religiously. There are many artists who work in a way that is mainly influenced by European contemporary art. I think it's important we have a variety of artists, intellectually, who go deep into history. That's my personal view. The consciousness and environment of Singapore is unique. We are multicultural, very small, and can access information very quickly. Living here is compact and someone else is always near. It's a luxury in Singapore if you walk around and don't see anyone. This is why I travel a lot. When my friends ask me where I want to go, I say, 'Where there are no human beings.'
They're like snakes, they don't like people. I travelled for one year on a small boat and kept searching but could not find them. Many people told me I wouldn't be able to. You have to wait somewhere.
There is no preservation. The Orang laut speak basically four languages, not one. This is because they trade with people from different areas who speak differently. So when I go to Thailand with my Thai friend who brought me to see the sea gypsies there, immediately I could speak with them because they speak Malay. And they speak Thai, and they can speak Chinese because they sell their fish to Chinese people.
In terms of commerce, no. Economy is the same. But Singapore is different from Hong Kong. You go to Hong Kong and you cannot hear someone speak Malay right away. Here you can hear the sound of Malay instantly. If you go into a coffee shop, they play different music. We have a lot more spice here because that's our history. It's all about spice. When the Europeans and Indians came here, it was for spice, gold, tin and silver. Maybe more than that [laughs].
My goal is to talk with audiences elsewhere about what exactly Singapore is. Let's not only talk about politics or religion. The people here are not only what many people get from the news. I'm trying to provide people with complete information or knowledge about time. In Singapore, most people only start with the history of modern Singapore, beginning with Raffles in the 18th century. I think Singaporeans will be richer if they are more informed about their past. There's no pain in knowing your great-great grandmother. It's a challenge, but I think it is a live work.
People sometimes fight about who knows the truth or not. For me, it shouldn't be so self-righteous and egotistic. That's why the work I do is all about evidence, not only my artistic imagination. This to me is a language that doesn't need much explaining. It's not what I make of it, it just is. When I give talks at universities, I always guide students to look at the evidence. Never argue only based on your own idea and imagination.—[O]

Ultra Ride Wheelchair Cushions
The Ultra Ride Rollator Walker and Transport Chair is so much more than a wheelchair, but it could still use wheelchair cushions. This all-in-one rollator and transport chair, which is in stock at Discount Medical Supplies, is a lightweight, foldable uber-wheelchair that grants users the liberty to walk, sit, and ride. It easily transitions from rollator to transport chair, and it can be carried and stored without any problems at all. It has a 19" width of seating area, and adjustable height. Moreover, it comes with a deep bag for users to put personal items into, as well as foot rests and a safety belt.
As fully equipped as this chair is, it would not be complete without wheelchair cushions. Even though seat cushions have to be bought separately, there is a wide variety of affordable options from which to choose. Finding the perfect Ultra Ride wheelchair cushion will allow the user to sit comfortably, balanced and securely. A proper cushion distributes the weight of the user evenly to avoid pressure ulcers, which are a nuisance at best, and can lead to more serious complications at worst.
Wheelchair cushions come in many different fabrics, shapes and styles, such as foam, gel, air, and honeycomb. For example, a foam wheelchair cushion may be designed to contour the seating area in order to stabilize and support the body of the user. As a result, it promotes proper position. A gel cushion is also manufactured with a foam base, but is filled with gel that enhances weight and pressure distribution. Air seat cushions are lightweight and feature a contoured, anatomically-shaped foam base with a pre-set, sealed air support pad. Each type of cushion has its pros and cons, so the final decision comes down to the actual user and his or her particular needs.
The goal of a wheelchair cushion is, in broad strokes, to allow a person to sit for long periods of time with the utmost comfort, and ensuring that they maintain a proper position that doesn't harm their spines. Another goal, as we mentioned before, is to prevent pressure ulcers. This more often than not refers to patients who are at low risk of this type of sores. High risk patients should consult a doctor first. The bottom line is that, even if you have the best in transportation, like the Ultra Ride Rollator Walker and Transport Chair, you still can't underestimate the important of wheelchair cushions.


text: Home » Blog » Dental Marketing » Two Well-Executed Ideas You Can Steal from Dental Marketing Who says marketing can't be fun. Here's a brief post about two lighter-side ideas from dental marketing that you can steal. Look at these little case studies as idea starters for many other healthcare marketing situations. In each, take your inspiration mainly from the exceptional execution.Dr. Rich's Patient Picnic: Western Pennsylvania orthodontist Richard Ribarevski has fun things for patient engagement throughout the year including a Day at the Movies, in office contests, Field Trips and a novel Game Room on his website. But perhaps the biggest event is "Dr. Rich's Patient Picnic" – a day in the park that nearly rivals a county fair.Activities include one of the biggest inflatable slides we've ever seen, a rock climbing wall, a bungee jumping contraption and other stuff straight from a carnival Fun Zone. All of this in addition to about a ton of food…hot dogs, pizza, cookies, nachos and watermelon. See for yourself. There's a complete report here on his Facebook page.The big idea: Orthodontists, along with many other professional practices, can use a picnic event to maintain a personal connection with patients over the summer months. The originality here is that Dr. Rich and his staff (along with a few helpers, we suspect) does it up big…and highly memorable.Cheeky Teach Me How to Brushy Video: The Oregon Dental Association (ODA) took an attention-getting approach to encouraging proper dental hygiene…sometimes a tired topic. Their twist was to present an up-beat parody video with hip-hop music with wide audience appeal. The resulting public service video has topped a half-million views on YouTube—which gives it a viral status—in addition to being prominently posted on the ODA Facebook page. The big idea: Push the creative envelope a little. Not all videos capture "viral" popularity, but in this case, being a little cheeky successfully captured wide interest and visibility. In this example, a subject of (potentially boring) patient education was showcased in a fun package for younger patients, parents and adults.

PAS | THE BOOK / 172 pages / 2015
This publication is an insight in the work we did within our first theoretical studies PAS #37 | 'Critical Reflection' at VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK with drawings, texts, sketches, mind-maps.
The Studies which were held during the second Venice International Performance Art Week, in December 2014, were part of a curatorial project as a pedagogical initiative. The educational program "Critical Reflections" is born in this context, based on the opportunity of be present, analyse and conceptually re-elaborate the different performances going on during an artistic and cultural event.
A considerable part of all this has been published in this digital edition, as a summary of the traces left from the participants. In the books which we given to them the first day, they put down experiences, thoughts and sensations and this what you see here is the final result of it. A sort of common object, coming out from a process of encounter between different ways of thinking, different generations, different cultural backgrounds.
We gathered around performance art starting from having knowledge of the fact that our personal point of view must be put in play at all times, verified, called into question and even -if necessary- contradicted. The discussions between us were finally a medium of liberation of the language from the usual frames of its practical function, as a mere support of personal expression of thoughts.
Our personal language has been demolished and regenerated several times through the necessity of being understood, of willing express a sensation, of trying to elaborate a scandal, a surprise, a feeling of pain, happiness, hilarity, compassion, eroticism. Often, in front of a performance we put in discussion ourselves, more than the object of observation, so that the object of our attention reflects us in the critical position of being called into question. Critical Reflections was a process of discover the potential of language, not a workshop on critics in art.
At the same time, to the participants was given the opportunity to be a part of the event in itself and live directly its evolution, from the beginning until the end, from the first until the last performance and thematic round-table.
Actually, the two spaces dedicated to our Studies (one in Palazzo Mora, for the performances, and one in Palazzo Michiel, for the round-tables) have been soon integrated and identified as a pulsating and creative part of the whole event, and were visited by some of the artists (i.e.: Tania Bruguera. Particularly in the case of the latter, the team of the participants was also actively involved in the planning and realization of the performance).
As a member of the curatorial team, I witnessed the interpenetration of the cultural event with the character of the pedagogical studies through the possibility offered by both, to experience and learn through art.
As a guest teacher of the PAS, I could verify the value of a pedagogical study parallel to a cultural event like this but, more than this, I discovered the value of the pedagogical activity that merges with a similar cultural event.
Performance art is fulfilled in an ephemeral and fleeting dimension, so that the process of its reading and interpretation must be deconstructive and adapted to the specific complexity of each performance. It's what exactly happened in Venice: through the constant and open discussion between the participants, every personal prejudice or cultural barrier was left behind reaching a wider and more spherical point of view, personally and collectively.
We were going through every temporary community*1 created from the different artists, within which we became temporary citizens hosted by the artistic gesture. Then we hosted and took care of those gestures in our intimate considerations, perceptions, critical interpretations and in the dialogues between us.
Through the repeated attendance to the long-duration performances, and participation to the other shorter performances and to the round-tables, we reached a knowledge of the whole event in its different parts. In a certain way, we transformed our fragmented approach in a finally composed mosaic of images, significances, impressions and questions, giving back something more than a collection of analysis on different performances. The final container of this mosaic is the book of the books*2 that we are presenting as the synthesis-object of the #37 PAS - Critical Reflections.
" ..and then, they tear down the house"
presence, absence, memory
The first day, one of the participants was trying to explain to a friend, what we were seeing in the morning: a documentary*3 in which, at the end of an articulate process involving different artists in the same empty spaces of a little house, the last of the artists has tore down the entire building with bulldozers.
Destroying the rooms that hosted the actions and the people, tearing down walls, windows, doors and stairs, the performer cancelled the containing place of the happening of the various performances, putting the radical sign of the ending of an experience, and giving / entrusting to each of the presents, the memory of the facts.
It was a moment at the same time of melancholy and of freedom, because of the end of something, and because of the beginning of something else. There, where an intense and touching experience was ended, the memory / metabolization of it was beginning.
But how could the participant tell about what she have lived ? In fact, in the moment that she was trying to explain it, she realized that something important were missing and that was not enough just tell about what she saw (the final demolition of the house). Because the meaning of things, that dwells within the territory of coexistence and exchange, was totally lost.
In the failed try of communication, she understood that for to transform physical sensations and feelings in a communicable meaning, you have to let the absent person be present, not in look but in the significance of the things that you lived.
This sentence "..and then, they tear down the house..", and the following failing of communication was to me the real beginning of our Studies.
Realizing that to express yourself on something, and reflect critically on it, it means to go through a process of identification and comprehension, this leads you to the possibility of a reflection: for to transform the presence in experience, and the experience in (conceptual and emotional) knowledge, and for to change the knowledge in memory and the memory in (conceptual and emotional) significance. But I think the book of the books will be more eloquent than any other word. Good vision.

Phil's Quick Capsule Review:
I was pretty late to the Mamma Mia! party – I only saw the first film last year. It was great fun, the cast delivered amazing chemistry and Streep owned it. So take all those things away (at least for the first hour) and you end up with Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again… a lifeless sequel that only starts to be good again when the film remembers that it should be more fun than maudlin. Look Lily James does an amazing job as a young Streep but Seyfried is so whiny and the story so redundant (we kinda know how she ended up with three dads already) that you just don't really care. So overall a disappointing sequel.

The Jerusalem Post reports:
Israeli organizations slammed Uwe Kekeritz, a German Green Party MP, on
Thursday for claiming that Israel's security fence and border system
to stop Palestinian terrorism is worse than the Berlin Wall.
comparison with Israel's security borders, "the Berlin Wall is a toy"
said the Bavarian politician in a nearly four minute video posted on
YouTube in August. He spoke at a reportedly anti-Israel June event
sponsored by the German Protestant Church.
Efraim Zuroff, the chief Nazi hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the director of its Jerusalem office, told The Jerusalem Post on
Thursday, "It is obvious that Green MP Uwe Kekeritz learned nothing
about the larger picture about Middle East politics and history during
his visit to Israel."
"To the best of my knowledge, the Berlin
Wall was not built to stop terrorists from committing suicide attacks
against West Berlin civilians, (it was) rather to prevent East Germans
from fleeing to freedom in the West. And the number of people shot by
communist authorities far outnumbers any casualties at Israel's
security fence," said Zuroff.
He questioned whether Kekeritz made the comparison "out of genuine ignorance or anti-Semitism."
said "it must be made clear to the Israelis that they cannot continue
with their policies without consequences." He added that it is "taboo"
to criticize Israel in Germany. Zuroff added, "There is no shortage of
criticism of Israel in Germany today and no one is preventing him from
voicing criticism of Israel, justified or unjustified."
German funded NGOs Miseror and Brot für die Welt organized Kekeritz's
trip to Israel and the disputed Palestinian territories last year. He
based his criticism of Israel on the trip.
Prof. Gerald Steinberg, the head of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, told the Post,
"This case highlights the damage done by irresponsible NGOs,
particularly in Germany, who promote vicious anti-Israel propaganda
campaigns. In their activities, Misereor and Brot für die Welt, both of
which are funded by the German government, present entirely biased and
immoral distortions of the conflict." [...]
2013, a number of prominent Green Party MPs, including the current
head of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Tel Aviv, Kerstin Müller,
submitted an initiative to demarcate Israeli products from the disputed
territories in the West Bank as a form of punishment. Germany's
neo-Nazi NPD party filed a similar measure in 2012 in a state
parliament to label Israeli products from settlements. Read more.

A week ago, I did not know—absence
frustrated me. Now I know.
Everything moves forward on schedule.
No information is painful. Just
added pieces to a puzzle.
Life spins on both axes,
good and bad. The doctor says
this is merely inflection.
The train pulls forward
and we must sit in the back, not aware
the engine has driven off the bridge.
Until after the fact, when water
hits our face and we reach
the ever-after...
Like Jacob dizzy
from wrestling
the Angel,
I am intoxicated
by the struggle
to forget—
wanting to punch
the guy; wishing she met me
when I still smoked;
doubting if I will go
too bald this year,
waiting for an apology
I don't expect;
a big picture
I never wanted.
I don't want a Porsche;
I want the little car that is fun with my stuff in it.
I don't want a wife;
I want these nights alone with books.
I don't want children;
I want the freedom to be broke and dumb
All I want is stability,
to say tomorrow will be here.
to say I will be content tomorrow, with friends at hand.
When each week is a new climate,
there is no stable weather, so give me armor.

Koerner Acquires Canon Cameras and Lenses
Canon has announced that Koerner Camera Systems recently
added eight Canon EOS C300 digital cinema cameras and a number of Canon lenses
to its rental inventory for its facilities in Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash.
"Even though we have eight Canon EOS C300 digital cinema
cameras in our inventory, their popularity requires us to occasionally sub-rent
more of them," company owner Michael Koerner said in a statement.
"A lot of the jobs the EOS C300 digital cinema camera is
rented for would normally have gone to more expensive cameras," he added.
"There are also digital SLR users who have jumped up to the EOS C300 digital
cinema camera. But unlike a digital SLR, the EOS C300 digital cinema camera is
designed to do long takes, which has made it popular for episodic series
The EOS C300 digital cinema cameras are being used for
commercials, indie films, corporate videos, documentaries and a popular local
sketch-comedy episodic television series, he explained.
The lenses include one Canon CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L SP
wide-angle cinema zoom lens, two Canon CN-E30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L SP telephoto
cinema zoom lenses, and two Canon CN-E30-105mm T2.8 L compact telephoto cinema
zoom lenses to its rental inventory.
Koerner added that his company also rents the Canon EOS-1D C
hybrid 4K DSLR cinema camera, and the Canon 5D Mark III, 5D Mark II, and 7D
digital SLR cameras.

Psychopathy equals violence. Whatever rubric is used identifies a person with a greater likelihood of violence, often motivated by opportunism, sadism or material gain. Treatment responsivity and harm reduction as treatment success in high-risk or repetitive offenders seems overreaching. It would be ideal and even a ?magic bullet? to be able to predict dangerousness with absolute certainty but, currently, there's no successful model for intervention and a diagnosis of psychopathy mostly means that treatment is unlikely to work.

[...] standard prison programs have no beneficial effect on psychopaths, at least with respect to re-offending, the question is, It could be because, as aforementioned, psychopaths learn more about manipulation and deception than about themselves and that they are, or become, able to convince therapists or staff that they have made good progress when they have not or, as also previously discussed, it could be poor design and poor execution of the programs that are in place.

[...] That's the crux of the argument and the only solution to the terrible problem: human beings can change in radical, permanent and significant ways, but they can't be forced to do it and the successes are few and, even though in certain ways it can seem disappointing to a psychologist who is trying to improve the situation rather than simply discipline and punish, psychopaths may not be properly equipped. The issues of the condition may, to oversimplify, wire the person in such a way that they are almost constitutionally unable to rewire themselves. [...]

We created Elemental Foods Inc. to grow, make and share healthy food with our family, friends, colleagues and communities in Southeast Michigan. Elemental Foods includes a 10 acre farm that is evolving through the use of biodynamic, permaculture and organic principles. On the farm, we aim to find a balance between diverse production of fresh food and the natural processes that allow for long-term sustainability without the use of chemicals. In the kitchen, we combine naturally grown ingredients from our farm and region to make foods that will nourish your body and soul throughout the year. When you purchase our products you are supporting local farmers and economy. We think this is the best way to make our communities and food system healthier and more sustainable.
We produce all our products according to three simple values. Local, Simple, and Natural
Local: Many of our products come directly from our farm in Mt. Morris, MI. What we cannot grow ourselves, we source from local growers that are certified organic or use only natural growing methods. There are so many dedicated and passionate food producers in Michigan and we strive to support the growth of this sector in every way possilbe. While our local food system is changing, there are still some ingredients that cannot be sourced locally.
Simple: The best food is simple. When it is made fresh and of quality ingredients, why complicate it.
Natural: It is plants and variations of plant matter. Any more natural than that?
We hope our products and values contribute to creating a more sustainable food system. Toward that end, we love the opportunity to educate our community about healthy food, the food system, wellness, food preparation, and other related topics.
If you have interest in working with us, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can visit these locations to buy and/or eat our foods.
What we can't source off the farm, we source from other local sustainable companies.

- > History
98th Army Band
Fort Rucker, Alabama
The 98th Army Band traces its roots to the 40th Engineer Regiment in March of 1942. Its home of origin was Camp Crowder, Missouri, which was a training camp for military musicians along with its sister post, Camp Lee. It was at these camps that civilian musicians were trained in the arts and sciences of soldier skills as well as those of military ceremonies, traditions, and heritage.
As World War II was already in force, very soon the 40th Engineer Band would apply theory to practice in far away places such as Sicily, Naples, Rome, Southern France, the Rhineland, and Central Europe as the allies pushed to liberate Europe. In 1944, the band was re-designated as the 98th Ground Forces Band in allied-Germany. In 1947, the regimental band was deactivated, and the unit was transferred to the regular Army. Shortly thereafter, the band was relocated to Italy and designated the 98th Army Band. In 1952, the band was relocated to Camp Rucker in southeast Alabama. This was to be the home of the newly Army Aviation. Soon Camp Rucker would become a permanent post, and re-designated as Fort Rucker.
Over time, the band developed its musical mission to include both military ceremonies and civilian public relations events.
Today, located at the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Fort Rucker, AL, the 98th Army "Silver Wings" Band serves both the military and civillian communities of the Wiregrass area of Southern Alabama and Florida.
Serving the Wiregrass area of Alabama and Florida, the 98th Army Band has developed its musical mission to include both military ceremonies and civilian public relations events. The unit continues its longstanding tradition of excellence by supporting graduations, ceremonies, honors, recruiting, and public relations. Ensembles from the unit can be found performing in various schools, colleges, parades, festivals, and community events throughout the Wiregrass, as well as on the field to honor those who have retired or passed on.

I enjoy Eugene's exaggerations when he tries to emphasize his point. He had heard that one of his Oblates was ill, and his genuine concern was such that he "could hear the cough" 20 miles away! He demands immediate attention from Doctor d'Astros who looked after the Oblates
My dear friend, if it is true that Father Bernard is as ill as I am told he is, he must be freed immediately from all work, d'Astros must be consulted and his directions followed to the letter. If the doctor thinks a rest in the country can help his recovery and that the house of Saint-Just, in the Marseilles area and away from the sea, is suitable for the patient, send him to me without delay. There is no time for hesitation when one is faced with such symptoms: an excessive thinness on top of his cough – and such a cough! I can hear it from here. If the service of the Church must suffer in consequence it is a misfortune, but the greatest tragedy of all is to see a man wear himself out and fall victim to a fatal consumption. Spare no effort in this regard.
Letter to Hippolyte Courtès, 21 July 1831, EO VIII n 396
Tragically it turns out that the illness was more than a cough and Marius Bernard was eventually forced to leave the Oblates. Eugene noted: "Dispensed for reasons of over-excitability approaching madness. In this state he was putting the reputation and honour of the Congregation in jeopardy."

As part of the efforts of the Baillet Latour Chair on Error Management, we launch the first course in Strategic Error Management at Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management (BS-EM). The first group of 45 students is due to start early February.
The 24-hour course (5 ECTS) is integrated in the "CEO Agenda" elective offered to Masters students in the Business Engineering program. It features innovative and highly interactive teaching based on cases (some of which we developed) as well as self-reflection and personal research. Final assignments are original, too: we request students to come up with "error stories" that they noticed either in their close environment or in the news.
We believe that this Strategic Error Management course is unique, yet we strongly encourage other business schools to follow suit! Please request any information via our contact page.

25 Unique Writing Prompts To Keep Your Pen Moving Over Spring Break
For me, spring break vacation has always been a double-edged sword. True, I finally have time to write. But, I don't have school to force me to write, which makes it so hard to get started. When I don't have a deadline or an assignment, I can have trouble figuring out where to begin. I need that extra nudge to get me going. Otherwise, I'll be staring at that blank page for the entire week.
But the fact of the matter is, nothing can be more exciting or as stress-relieving as working on a writing project. This spring break, dedicate some time to your creativity. When you give it room, you can push your writing to places you never expected to go. All you have to do is start.
So, here are some prompts to jumpstart your writing over the break. Some of these are a little goofy, it's true. But in my opinion, the best writing is done when you let your guard down. You're on break, after all, so you especially should be having fun with your writing.
Follow these prompts as loosely or as strictly as you please. Remember, they're a tool for you. You're not getting a grade for this, you don't have to let anyone see it. Enjoy it! It may be hard to start, but it will feel so good once you get going.
1. Make up a fictional place that would be your ultimate spring break destination.
Make sure it has all the essentials.
2. Write a story in the style of a Greek myth.
Gods, prophecies, meddling — include it all!
3. Write a poem about your mom.
You'll thank yourself later for creating the perfect Mother's Day present months in advance.
4. Aliens land in your hometown. What would happen? How would everyone react?
Let your imagination run wild.
5. Pick a popular song. Write an elaborate backstory for the lyrics.
How about "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato or "New Rules" by Dua Lipa? What happened there?
6. Design your own reality TV show, and write about all the delicious drama that ensues.
Hopefully, it ends better than Arie's season of The Bachelor.
7. What's your favorite thing about yourself?
Don't hold back!
8. You're on your way to the perfect spring break vacay. But, when you reach your seat on the airplane, you find out you're sitting right next to somebody completely unexpected. What happens next?
Who is it? A celebrity? An old crush? An Instagram-famous dog?
9. Write a letter to one of your favorite fictional characters.
Come on, I know you have a lot you want to say to them.
10. Write something that begins with the sentence: "It was never going to work."
One sentence down! You got this.
11. Describe your favorite flower in the most extreme detail.
Challenge yourself to see how long you can make this.
12. Write something that ends with the word "rainbow."
Start it any way you like!
13. What would happen if you and your best friend were sent up into space together?
The ultimate BFF road trip. Or perhaps, CHAOS.
14. Try to write the saddest story possible.
Seriously, make your readers SOB.
15. Write a story about a character who has never seen the sun.
Why haven't they seen the sun? How would that affect your life? Will they see it by the end of the story? It's up to you to figure it out.
16. Do you believe in fate? Why or why not?
Spill those deets.
17. Tell us about a time in your life when you went with your gut instinct.
How'd it pan out?
18. Write a western.
Complete with cowboys and southern drawls!
19. Write a story where all the characters are animals.
So many possibilities!
20. Start with the title: "The Grass Is Always Greener"
The rest is up to you.
21. Write a story from the point-of-view of your IRL boss/teacher.
Maybe don't show it to them.
22. Write a story that takes place on a cruise ship.
Does the cruise go smoothly? (I hope not!)
23. Think of something you've lost. What happened? Where do you imagine it is now?
A ring? Your keys? An important paper?
24. You're all alone in the woods. Suddenly, you hear a beautiful sound off in the distance. What happens next?
What could it be?
25. Write a story that disproves an urban legend.
Put your own spin on why it's not true.

My good friend Rich turned me onto this series, and I'm glad as hell he did. The Walking Dead is, in some respects, a classic Zombie-story (yes, they shuffle mindlessly, and yes, brains are on the menu) but it's so much more.
It's really a psychological study of survivors under extreme circumstances, and the lengths they go to to keep their humanity intact. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just point out that Amazon is selling all 4 trade paperbacks for a decently-discounted price! (And you can also pick them up one-at-a-time at the infinitely cool World Famous Comics.) Oh, and the artwork is phenomenal, too.
