Knee Brace Open Patella Vs Closed

demonstrations. An unbelievable number of people. Old and young. On the Independence Square. A spokesman for "Militia, we are one people, you are our brothers." The military moves. The cherry red bell at the church ringing the whole time. The demonstrators distributed. Panic. People running in all directions. Bleeding, injured. A man tears up his passport
The presidential candidates are injured or arrested. The winner seems to be established.

We're fine.

Complaints Against Alfa Insurance Company

Today is serious!

Today time has come, today is elected! Then the last few weeks has drawn attention with posters everywhere and even announcements in the Metro. Since 13 could be earlier votes are cast, now the polling stations opened up to 20 clock. The opposition has been announced for this evening demonstrations, the government has banned them.


The mood is tense, last night we could feel himself suddenly someone knocked on our door again, probably after he had rung several times, but I had loud music and did not realize the reason. The first thing we did the two men in civilian militia before their ID cards and wanted to know if this is our home and if we can show them our passports. Since I already had first ship, because there were problems with my visa and my old on 13 expired, I now have a visa, but only a small stamp on my migration card that I applied for the visa and it on 22 to be ready. Then they were not received and not wanted then to know if Hannah really Barawljani worked and whether we understand Russian. The last question, and thus the flip of the entire fence was then: "And something bad you have not done, no?"
We unfortunately do not know whether they were previously at our neighbors, or whether they only were with us. Startled, we all, as though with my Visa already had some problems was that now the first time we have felt himself, that the state is watching us and knows exactly what we do here Sun ..


- Since I published this post this afternoon could not because of Internet censorship, he is now already outdated.

(December 19, 2010: Presidential elections, the Republic of Belarus)

Sunday it is so far, is elected in Belarus.

Lukashenko ruled since 1994, largely unrestricted and has spread its power and gradually more and more. The opposition has developed in the last 10 years and it is not because of official repression unfold in a position to really. Also, all news agencies are state, so that all reports more for Lukashenko and is not reported on the opposition and other critics on television.

The attitude of the population to Lukashenko is different, many of his credit much that he has brought the country in recent years to a relative wealth, often tell a people that Lukashenko has made sure that I buy in the shops all can and the quality of the products is good, but many people believe is that Lukashenko has ruled for 16 years, long enough and now it was time for change again. This one comes but then forward to the next problem, because the opposition never had the chance to develop properly, and many people view the presidential candidates as not capable to govern a state or dependent than from Europe or Russia. In the last presidential election in 2006, the opposition also had the problem that they had divided among themselves and could not agree on a common opposition candidate against Lukashenko.

in October were at every street corner, the signature collectors for the candidates had to collect 100 000 signatures to be eligible for election. Are now allowed Lukashenko to ten candidates. They had the opportunity to present on television and there was even a TV debate, is not released to the Lukashenko. However, half an hour of talk time on television is quite small when you consider that Lukashenko constantly in the news appears, also is the time in which the candidates must present itself to the end and the last time before the election is now renewed talk solely about Lukashenko. Last week there one last great idea for Lukashenko: The fourth Belarusian People's Assembly, on which he could imagine a whole day again his policies.

His tactic is at the moment, especially the population of other countries and the fool free elections, even demonstrations, which were actually banned, had a warning for the candidates except no consequences. Nevertheless, it is probably so that the elections to the outside should look reasonably free and democratic, and the winner as in previous years have been established.

Stinmmung Currently, the more tense, the militia encountered a more and more often on the road, often the choice of topic in conversation. The opposition candidates have called on the people to come on Sunday on the October Square and await the announcement of election results there.

The last few weeks ... My furniture and interior

Hello,
I thought that it was time again to write something in the blog ;-)
I do know, not so right to write what I can, but I you still try even a little story to tell.
Now I'm almost 2 months mittlweile here and I am now settled in really well already. What's new? 3 weeks ago we got a new roommate to do so. He is also a German, and makes exactly the same program as I have here in Brazil. He will remain here for 9 months and live in our Volunteershouse. As I said, he has now also been here for 3 weeks now and learn (with me) Portuguese. Since I was already at the first point: Portuguese! I understand if you speak relatively slowly, has just about everything, but for them to speak it still a bit ticked. It helps me very much indeed that I had in high school English, because some words are similar or the same, but so far I can only say simple things or express. It is indeed in every case much better than the beginning, but really can apply to the language well, I probably still need a few weeks. Well so that's just when you learn a new language.

Since last week wi auchr a new "roommate at the time." He is German and wants to visit his brother, who lives just for a year in Rio de Janeiro. But not for vacation so that he does, he has opted to cooperate with us for 3 weeks and after that to go to his brother in Rio. For those 3 weeks, he also lives here in the Voluhuose.
Today we finally have wireless Internet here in Voluhouse. That's why I could now finally come to and write a new journal.

The work I am running quite well. It is not very exciting, because really every day the same happened, but it makes me still a lot of fun with the young children to work. I have also now been fixed my groups to which I always go back and thus the children know me already and I can thus build a better relationship with them. Even if the children are not just "Tio," but "Tio Cristiano" (pronounced like the Brazilians my name) said to me, I feel better because I realize that the children already know who I am and what I do.

Last week I played with some volunteers and a few Brazilians Ultimate Frisbee. That is now not as a traditional Brazilian sport, but because it gave me quite a lot of fun, I wanted the times to mention ... Ultimate Frisbee is really like soccer, except that not gespilt with a ball but with a Fribee. In addition, there are no gates but you have to catch the Frisbee in a designated area to get a point. Actually know the Brazilians even garkeine Frisbee and the idea came from another German volunteers. Then I come now to
typical Brazilian sport. Just before Christmas, on 12/23/2010, here it is a football game between Horizonte Azul (where I work) and give Monte Azul. This can also play the volunteers and we are already hard at training. Every day during the lunch break, we get together and play a bit too good to be prepared ;-). In the game I am also very much.
Speaking of Christmas: There are a couple good new news. Over Christmas and New Year is a good friend of mine who is currently in Peru for a year to visit us here in Brazil. And after that I will be flying in the middle of January for a good week with her in Peru. This is certainly a very nice time and I'm curious if you can compare Peru with Brazil or if everything is totally different.



Christmas or Christmas decorations but I find this very funny. Although it is currently summer and 30 degrees every day but here is decorated with snowflakes. ;-) I
nor think that arise in me a real Christmas feeling is simply missing because the cold and snow.

Sooo that's now first ... But I'm going to upload in the coming days once new photos, so you also can see something.

See you and best regards from Sao Paulo
Christian

Ps: After almost 2 months, I always go only rice and beans (which there really ANY lunch) already belonging to the cookie! ;-)

Weeing Alot And Tired

The Kamarowski

Today i will start to write anything about my work, but over dne Kamarowski. This is the central market in Minsk. Last Sunday Hannah and I have went there because we wanted to stock up on vegetables and sometimes fruit, because the government in the stores do not always look so delicious and we somehow wanted to eat again with more fruit and vegetables. On the Kamarowski there is a large hall with meat, bread and sides all sorts of small kiosks where one of coffee, tea, dried fruit, pharmacies, chemist shops to find all animal feed.

addition to the large hall, there is still an open hall to the sides of vegetables and fruits can also be found there really been all sorts of fruits and vegetables, even vegetables, that in the winter is not here expect it would, like mangoes, melons and grapes.

I think every time the Kamarowski exciting again, try everything you can look at, and there is so much to see! The market atmosphere is just great and all future guests can adapt schonmal on them, the Kamarowski will definitely be on the tour program;)

conclusion, then here sometimes even our purchases: like

Also, I am schonmal thank all who have been thinking of me and congratulated me for birthday. Although I had made in advance but think how it will be because, so far away from home To celebrate birthday and then another without the other volunteers who this weekend are on the EVS seminar, this day was just totally beautiful. Tonight, I was already like SMS, Skype, ICQ, and congratulates this afternoon I was invited to one of my babushkas, they had borscht cooked for me and even baked a cake. This evening, I then phoned my mother first and then skyping with my father and my sisters. I also got another visit from three friends from Minsk. We had a nice evening and right now I am still overwhelmed about who has written everything to me today and as dear to me here and what I have all congratulated by people who tell me yes just two months or even shorter Nice to know I get paid. So once again thank you, thank you, thank you!

The "Hesed Rahamim"

Today I want something about my work in the "Hesed - Rahamim" Cell

under the name "Hesed" is available in Eastern Europe all many Jewish social and cultural centers. Each "Hesed" still has a nickname, that is, in Minsk, therefore, "Hesed - Rahamim.

The Hesed is my main project, actually, I should work there three times a week, but since we are only three volunteers and more than enough projects, I have agreed with the leaders of Hesed, that I still work a day in the history workshop. So I'm always on Mondays and Wednesdays in Hesed.

The Hesed in Minsk has various facilities and amenities: There is the cultural center, a museum, a group of children, craft activities for children and young people but also for older people, a play group, dance groups etc. but also the social center, the various services organized, for example something such as meals on wheels or even a linen service. There are also medical assistance, the employees are trained nurses and then visit clients at home and help with the care.

Here in Belarus is such that it by the state, especially for elderly and sick people are no help. It is a medical visiting service, but still get very few elderly people that support. They depend on help from her family and if that does not help them or can not help, they come in psychiatry or disabled people.

Therefore, it is good that there is the Hesed, which offers these services.

Hesed I usually go in with a driver and a companion, and distribute food, food or bedding. Depending on what's coming up on the day, we'll go first, the food pick up at a restaurant, or at a wholesale market and then the packages are packed and it starts, usually right through Minsk. The times I had with a driver and companion on the road was, it was mostly so that I wore only the packages and has the attendant then talked to the people and I was also presented. At first I came here before me rather unnecessary. This Wednesday I went for the first time alone was a driver on the road. Initially, the driver still skeptical and said to Natalia (my "coordinator" in Hesed), that I could not understand him enough Russian and yes it would ... But since then Natalie and Vadim (the one that usually accompanies the driver) dispelled his concerns have that I would understand enough, but we went and go after the first few visits, I had convinced the driver that the works already. The clients always knew all that we can pick up Wednesday, the sheets and I had to explain many are not even that I am the new volunteer and that I now pick up their towels instead of Vadim. Later, the driver then even again called Natalya, so that they can explain in English that the client, to which we go next, is very poor and their apartment is too bad. Another driver has recently also been concerns that the packages are too heavy for me and stuff, so all good, they are always very concerned about me;)

I usually go on Mondays with the drivers to have for the Wednesday and time for my two babushkas Esther and Irina.

Otherwise, there are always many different Hesed offers, parties and events, for example, I was already on the Jewish New Year celebration, an anniversary concert of the dance group and a presentation of the program "My second birthday". Also, I would still have the option, if my Russian is better to help children in the group, say yes, but also a family of Hesed visit, I left for the children's group, at least for the moment no time. About babushkas and Family, I'll write one more another time.

Wednesday I was also still on the tour of Sabaton, to have that I am so happy for months. The concert was really great, the atmosphere was great, I stood in the front row and was just totally blown away by Sabaton and the whole atmosphere!

Is There Gunpowder In Party Poppers?

pictures of my work

Pregnant Craving Parsley

Hi everybody, today I
would imagine even a little bit of my organization (Horizonte Azul).
In all there are three different grounds. On one of them is our Volunteerhouse, which with 3 rooms and bath and living area (kitchen, dining room and living room in one) for 5 people is not too large. ;-) It is small but also really comfortable and mold on the ceiling bother me so far. (My roommate I have now met and finally he is super nice.)
are located on the main campus are also many houses, in which the older children (8-18 years employed). Whether by playing drums, make puppets, table tennis and many other things. It also includes some administrative buildings and the kitchen and the dining room for employees.
on any other grounds of maternal are I, II and III and the Bercario I and II The Maternal is children aged 3-4 years. Each group consists of 10-15 children and two Tias (caregivers). The day for the children at the Maternal looks like this: 7:30 clock arrival, breakfast, indoor games, snack (in the form of fruit) outdoor play, lunch, nap ... more I know, unfortunately, not yet, because I've worked only in the morning there. In Bercario the very small children are cared for (1-2 years). These children have to be careful, of course, even more than the others and so the children can not play along with the larger ones. Even outside, but separated from the others. The day is actually the same as for the children in the Maternal. All children be given about 7:30 clock from her parents there and picked up around 16:30 clock.
On the third and final area is the Horta (outside), is grown in the whole fruit and vegetables for horizons and Monte Azul. In addition, the facility where the waste is sorted, the Jardim I and II and the Pre-Escola (preschool). In the garden I've only worked one afternoon and weeds plucked. The pre-Escola is a Waldorf school, which lies just under construction. Currently there are only a first class (as of winter, so the new school year, there is a first and a second class). In Jardim children aged 4-6 years are cared for. This work has been my most fun. It is business as well as from the Maternal and Bercario, except that the children are just a little older.
Each of these three areas also has its own kitchen, is in the sometimes half-days worked by the volunteers. Each volunteer
must have to choose according to his settling-in period for an area. Either here to work with the elderly (which I've not yet met properly), the pre-Escola and the smaller ones (Bercario, Maternal and Jardim). Then I will each have a half day in the garden, working in the waste management facility or in a kitchen and the other half in the area for which I have decided.
For me, this acclimatization period just ended and now I've decided for a combination of two areas (which had none against). I will now work from half a day a week in the garden and the garbage sorting plant and the other days in the Jardim I and in two different groups of pre-Escola. This is also the area has given me the most. The children with whom I will work from now to January first are thus 4-7 years old.
Moreover, there is every Monday morning a meeting of us (the volunteers) with our coordinator and on Thursday afternoon, a meeting place of all employees instead of Horizonte Azul, in which it comes to organizational matters. And once a month there is a meeting of all employees, including with those of Monte Azul. This will take place there.
I think next time I will upload a few photos of my work area. until then ...
Kind regards Christian

What Are The Membership Costs At Weymouth Club

The "Club of the German language"

After and after I want to now imagine my different projects, now I'm starting with the German Club in the History Workshop to:

meet every Tuesday at 12 clock is usually about 7 older men and women and their teacher in the history of Natasha's workshop to a German club. Some of them have lived for a short time in Germany, for the most part they were during the war, forced laborers in Germany, some have also again later lived in Germany or anywhere else learned German and at the meetings usually a text read and translated and then also learned grammar. Recently we have read parts of Erich Kastner's Emil and the Detectives. At the moment we read Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm. Cinderella's already for German to read sometimes difficult because the language a bit outdated, so it is for students of German, of course, again difficult and often leads to some communication problems, such as "reading lenses" that has nothing to do with the reading of a text has, or that the "rice "Rice is not only the food but also an obsolete form of" sticks ". Since then I am asked most often and have to consider simpler or more common synonyms.

The most beautiful is the German Club for me is always watching the older ladies and gentlemen, among themselves, they can not talk and talk in between, when the other's turn, because they know it, of course, still a little better, or they jabber among themselves rather than listen and then when they turn they do not know where it's our turn to reading, they argue about phrases and words, etc. Sometimes you get the feeling they are worse than school children;). Moreover, they are never at a loss for an answer, for example, has one of the men responded to the task of Natasha, he gives us should not hesitate to call a Minsk Attraction, "I of course," the same Lord welcomes one of his "classmates" again and again in German with "Good day, you scoundrel!". is

After reading and grammar then usually still drank tea and biscuits or bread, or what anyone else has so bring your own eating and talking. Among themselves they always talk in Russian, but to me they always try to speak German and endeavor then that I understand only yes and are always very proud when I assure you to demand that the sentence now correctly was.

Natascha will stop now, however, to lead the German club, but the last two times it was her successor, Iryna. With her I had already thought about the fact that we want to do in the future even more than Germany, individual cities or states, and we have already decided in the next German Club, yes on 9 November will be the topic of the Wall and the 9 to treat November in German history. I have also been the object of one of the participants that I should talk to him a text from a German test and record, so he can listen to it is to learn always, for your MP3 player with all sorts of German lyrics and songs, he is always able ;). I think it's great that he still knows so well with technology and it is definitely not an everyday sight to see one over 70 years old, gray-haired grandfather with MP3 player and earplugs. However, I must now tell me now, my first time dealing with technology, because until now I have no idea how to record the ...

That's now far from the first German club. Another amusing experience I had today in the Metro station Kupalowskaja:

This is the poster for the concert on 3 Sabaton November in Minsk for the yes I already have a card. The spelling of English names in Cyrillic gets me every time you smile, from "Alestorm" will be times "Aljestorm" or "Steelwing" "Stilwing.

Hair Extensions With Blonde Highlights

but now a blog!

I me after some thought, but now decided to do a blog about my volunteering in Minsk. Because of this, but now it takes almost 2 months, the beginning is the first time the summary be like this ...

began my first year abroad, with two weeks' seminar in Germany. Of 3 September to 11 September we had our preparation seminar in Hirschluch with 130 other volunteers from ASF. In our PAG's (process groups) and in workshops, we have prepared ourselves for our future work. In retrospect, I think that the seminar was very good and useful, but during the seminar time I found it annoying at some point but now having to explain again why I do this FSJ and what are my expectations and so ... I also found the state between adoption of family and friends and a real departure very strange because it had already been adopted, but was still in Germany. On 10
September was the big farewell party and during the night and morning of the 11th September, then all the other volunteers, but us, broken into their project countries. We still had our country seminar in Berlin-Dahlem. However, before I went there, I'm still used to the Sunday morning with my sister Ruth and their children who were in Berlin to take.

The workshop in Dahlem was then just especially for Russia, Ukraine and Belarus Volunteers. There was then a lot of concrete information on the situation in the countries and also to our living situation. There I then learned that my projects have changed again. I was expected to work in the Dolja (a club of former forced laborers), a device for the disabled and the children's home in Novinki, my main project is now, however, the Jewish social and cultural Hesed-Rahamim. More below. On 14
September was going on but then finally the train to Minsk. The train ride was very exciting, once the train is in itself, with rugs on the floor and a cozy little compartment in the purely fit all our luggage but only with much Gequetsche. Night-on-5 then we crossed the Polish-Belarussian border, and then our train was then implemented, as the rails are 89mm wider. During the implementation, I am but then fell asleep again. At 11 clock we finally arrived in Minsk. On the taxi ride to our apartment, I felt like a little kid with enormous eyes that the world is and have no idea where to look first. This feeling continued even the next day, because there are just too much to discover.

Once in the apartment, I then unpacked my suitcase first, so I felt right then arrived, and the feeling after two weeks of not more from the Cases have to live was great!
The first few days we spent with the registration process and ensure that all projects which are available in Minsk to attend. In addition, Tina and Laura, our predecessors here in Minsk, a city organized rally for us, so we know a little better Minsk.
Well, then began the daily life and work. Mondays and Wednesdays I work now in Jewish Social and Cultural Hesed Rahamim. Mondays I am usually with drivers traveling to various clients of Hesed. There are several services, such things as meals on wheels, then a linen service where we pick up the sheets with the clients and bring them fresh and last Week we have distributed food packages. At the moment I am still using a driver and a companion on the road, so we bring you two of a small parcel to the people. But at the moment it is mainly dadrum that I had to learn the processes and the clients get to know me, so I later can also travel without a companion. On Wednesdays I go it is usually two "babushkas (grandmothers). First I go to Esther. She sits in a wheelchair, but she lives together with her daughter, she needs no help in the home, but just someone who talks to her. We have already seen photo albums and she brings a whole lot of words in Russian when I say it in German and then again must, for once she could speak German and is very sad that she has forgotten it.
Then I go to Irina Ivanovna. I got your address via the Hesed. She also used to help as volunteers in the Hesed, but even now she is old and because she is not Jewish, can do nothing for them Hesed. With it, I drink mostly tea and also first be forced to eat something ("Sweetie, I have to feed up yet). Then I help her be at home, I clean windows or wipe dust or what grade is dependent to do so. Irina used to be German and English teacher, so we mostly spoke German at the beginning, now we talk about simple things in Russian and when I do not understand something but in German.
About Hesed I visit another family, mother and daughter. The daughter is in a wheelchair but can walk with assistance and with a built especially for her frame in the apartment. I help them sometimes in the home, or I go for a walk with his daughter, or simply entertain me with her.
Tuesdays I'm in the History Workshop, which is a museum on the site of the former ghetto of Minsk, where there is an exhibition about the fate of former forced laborers in Germany, also quite a lot of events and discussions. An event is the "Club of the German language." There meet a number of earlier Ladies and gentlemen, and learn German. I was already held a PP presentation of Merzig and Saarland, otherwise we read right now, for example, Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm or Emil and the Detectives. After the "instruction" will still always drank tea and told. In the History Workshop otherwise I have already helped with the proofreading of a book. In the book told through interviews, the stories of people who had to make in Germany forced labor.
About the History Workshop I visit also Anna Ivanovna. She was forced laborer in Germany and lives very near me, I help her in the budget.
two days a week I work then on the small children's ward in the children's home in Novinki. The work is very different, on the one hand, it makes me enjoy my involvement with the children, but are the states in Novinki sometimes very depressing. Fortunately, up on the small children's ward is a nice teacher who told me at the beginning just to the individual and the children something to me at the moment a lot of shows what I can do with them to promote it.

So much for my first, I will try in a few days time to upload some photos, but have to look, because my computer does not our internet, so I have always been my roommate Hannah angammeln to the laptop ... But I hope that this will change if my laptop back on it has XP and one of our German Mitfreiwilligen has promised to give me that.

Greetings from sunny and autumnal Minsk!
