Free Hindi Channels Satellite

back home to the University ...

day
I have, but it is not quite over and stand with Friday and Saturday two more working days, a very interesting week so far behind me.
had on Tuesday I visited two dentists from England, that visit friends of mine. I have shown them the first part of our dental clinic. Both have worked in developing countries (India, Cambodia, Fiji) and were particularly of our sterilization process (or rather the fact that it works) and our daily patient turnover done. After that we went to the University Hospital and have made some probably typical Senegalese experience. First we have determined need to ask 8 people on campus until we have found the building, although we were already at the medical school and all the people we asked just "knew" where we must go there. Here it is considered rude and a sign of weakness to say that we do not know something, so they say something rather than that one does not know. That is, one asks most always two people when they say the same is probably true ... of our Senegalese ZA I had the name of the head of the hospital, Prof. Diallo (the lard from Dakar), so we have to by the demand, then the secretary directly to his office and he gave us (complete strangers who only know the name of a ZA and he had to tell her story), where a 45-minute tour of the clinic. We have an orthodontic (boring!) looked purely lecture and visited the classrooms. The equipment is generally quite old, but it works, unfortunately, they currently have no materials (amalgam, impression materials, gypsum, etc.). But this is Africa ... I unfortunately have not had my camera with hope, but that I get the photos of the two ZAs and yet to provide any, so that all of the TPK and Phantomkurssäale are grateful again.

Und dann hab ich heute für unsere Mitarbeiter eine Vorlesung über "L´examen orale" gehalten, um sie da ein bisserl fitter zu machen, Krebsfrüherkennung, Prävention, Patienteninstruktion etc. - AUF FRANZÖSISCH! War aber ganz ok, ging 45min mit Fragen. War wahrscheinlich die Vorlesung mit den meisten grammatikalischen Fehlern aller Zeiten :-)

Euch ein schönes WE, ich hab am Samstag meinen Composit-Tag, an dem ich den ganzen Tag nur Kunststofffüllung mache, dass gibt sicher ein paar interessante Bilder.

Schöne Grüße aus dem langsam wieder wärmer werdenden Dakar!

Cons To Selling Organs

coast and post

Hallo zusammen,
wie ihr wahrscheinlich gemerkt you's are currently not so much exciting to report, and no really interesting pictures, which is primarily because the moment I simply do not care really exciting. Unfortunately, leaving me the last few weeks my health a bit and I had with flu-fighting to survival, etc, which restricts me in the thesis. I also have this simple little box and power, there also was making "passing".
Yesterday I then at least once to turn off the afternoon at the coast to the Bible study and a from the bustle of the city. Was very cool because it's so quiet there that it is not difficult to find a rest. I'm not sure, have at least so far not heard of it, but apparently at least parts of the peninsula here volcanic origin. The coast looks at least like it.

I also have received the week, the Christmas package in my family. I have it picked up on Jan 22 - they have sent away on Nov 22 ... well, at least it has arrived. The Abholfen on the parcel post station was indeed fine, but all in all been quite an experience: everybody is responsible or not, I'm top man to the types of packages aus'm camp gets talked with everyone, got my package € customs fees - determined 6 signatures, dozens of stamps, receipts, etc. until I finally collected after payment of just under 2. Very funny it took all that my Christmas present was. The fact that I work for Youth With a Mission was everything a bit faster, some people knew of the clinic, it's not so much whether there is the stamp on it now or not ... well, I was glad when I's in his hands and out of the building. The cookies were indeed a bit of crumbled and no longer quite so perfect in form, but still delicious!

Bye, Michael

How To Do Full Sew In With Side Bang

Free Day

a nice good day,
(I believe it is New Year's Day) Thanks to any Muslim holidays have I am free today and after we last Russian Christmas (no, not vodka!) celebrated today I could have a good kip really comfortable. Martyn is my roommate last night for two weeks after flying home to Wales for the wedding of his sister. So I enjoy-the Senegalese culture, completely against the peace and make me a nice day.
I'm the last days of a few people asked what they think the foreign assistance for Africa, if they see the positive or rather think that Africa must learn to help themselves to develop. And also talked about whether it makes sense that many young people come here to try somehow to Europe to the "great" to earn money and then home to his family send
etc. There were a couple of very interesting but also very different statements here. I need the time in nem own theme summarize, but so much was said, by "clear yes, money is always good" to "if using, then just help to help themselves, ie in the form of know-how, start-ups, etc" was all there. A statement made me very surprised, "Life here in Senegal is much easier than in Europe, because there is solidarity, if you have nothing, then there will always be someone to help you, you are never alone.". I have argued that with us so unemployment benefits, etc. CT is, but he said that it was of course great, but it is possible completely unpersönlich. Interessanter Punkt finde ich.
Und gestern auf dem Nachhauseweg im Bus war ein ziemlich angetrunkener Mann (eigentlich der erste, den ich wirklich gesehen hab), der so ziemlich alle im Bus wissen ließ, was er gerade denkt, macht, braucht usw. - und damit auch alle ziemlich genervt hat. In D hätte ich bestimmt was zu ihm gesagt, hab mich aber zurückgehalten. Jedenfalls ist dann was komisches passiert, an der nächsten Haltestelle haben fast alle Leute um ihn herum ihm ein bisschen Kleingeld zugesteckt und ein Mann hat ihn dann bestimmt, aber freundlich aus dem Bus befördert. Was ich überhaupt nicht verstanden hab ist: Warum geben sie dem Typen Geld? Ich würd ihn halt einfach rauswerfen... aber es stimmt schon, the people here are exceedingly helpful and generous.

So, I do in my book, if it's interested in helping out here are two dental interesting pictures. By the way, is "cut out" in French "couper" ...

Anyone Get Prescriptions At Drugstore.com

Happy new year

Bonne annee and also in German, a blessed, joyful and happy new year to you all!

After it is unfortunately not the "quiet" period between Christmas and New Year and I work constantly, I have no new pictures, also I'm usually just in front of me stupid "to photograph" people, etc. Sun Maybe I disguise myself as an American tourist times with sunglasses, hat, open shirt and shorts, Run as rum and take pictures ...
reason, and because I so happily in February visit to get from D, you can now learn some Wolof. The (standard) greeting is:
Salaammalykuum - Malykuumsalaam
Na nga def - Ma ngi fi (Rekk)
(Are you there - I'm (only) here)
Mbaar yaangi ci jamm - Dieu Merci / Alhamdulalei
(Have you peace - thank God)
Ana wa ker ga - Nu nga fa
(How are those at home - they are there)
Naka ligeey bi - Maangi goorggoorlu / Tuuti Tuuti
how does the work - it's a lot / unit in pieces (= slow)
dann kann man noch weiter nach Name, Wohnort etc. fragen. Meistens reicht aber Salaam, Ca va, Na nga def aus
Waaw - Ja
Deedeet - Nein
Michael laa tudd - Ich heiße Michael
Noo tudd - Wie heißt du
Foo deekk - Wo wohnst du
Lan ngay def - Was arbeitest du
Bax na - Es ist ok/gut
Nex na - Es schmeckt gut
lol - sehr, eigentlich ein gesprochenes Ausrufezeichen
Jex na - Es ist fertig
Baal ma - Entschuldigung, Vergib mir
Naata - Wieviel

Sonst kann ich leider auf Wolof keinerlei Grammatik, auch wenn die wohl sehr interessant ist. So gibt es keine Zeiten für die Verben, sondern das "Fokuswort", z.B. noch, bald, damals etc, bestimmt, ob die Action is complete or not. For that I can some phrases that allow me dental work: rattle sit down, lie down, open, close, do not move, spit, tongue up, will it hurt when it hurts, etc.

Here's a small dental rarity: a complete set mesiodens (a single, not paired tooth in the middle between the upper central incisors), the chance is at 1:1000 and for us it's normally extracted when he was diagnosed by X-ray is.
