A "New" Helmet, A Meaningful Victory And A Rainy Lesson

Hello everyone! First I’d like to thank everyone that has read and watch my posts in the different platforms I’m in. I loved all your comments, likes and shares - please stay tuned and keep sharing! I’m respectfully asking you to help spread the word and grow my followers base, as this will help me get back at the wheel. Obviously, COVID has had an impact in what I’m trying to do, but I’m also not sitting still – I’m trying to use this time to get some things done and keep fighting to find financial support to get back at wheel and into competitive racing somewhere in 2021.

“While the axe comes and goes” (as my dad often says), I’ve been able to do some things like getting my helmet painted. For this I went to an old friend, Jose DeLa Cruz of IDSigns in South Hackensack, NJ. José was the person who painted my first helmet in 2015, which was kind of an Ayrton Senna tribute, but still an original design:

15 year old me with Jose de la Cruz

I bought my current Bell helmet in 2017, and never had a chance (or never could afford!) to have it painted, and the carbon finish was sort of acceptable, for a while. But this year I finally did have a chance, and here it is:

20 year old me, holding some beautifully painted carbon fiber

I took inspiration from my previous design, notably my flags on the back as I’m proud of my Puerto Rican and Filipino heritage.

But more importantly, I wanted to dedicate it to the celebration of diversity. I believe very strongly in this, and as a person of color the fight to end racism is one that directly affects me and that I pledge to support every time I go on track.

Many, many thanks to José. He’s been a friend and supporter over the years, and I highly recommend IDSigns and Graphics, not just for helmet painting, but for his specialty, which is custom liveries for cars and trucks. He is truly an artist. http://www.idsigns.com/idsigns.com/home.html

A lot of you liked my post about sim racing, so I thought I’d also share a couple more details about it here. As some of you know, two weeks ago, I had the honor of racing in the Sunday Night Skippy Winter Challenge Round at Road Atlanta. This was an hour-long endurance race for charity, and I chose to race for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I loved the opportunity to race for a good cause, and was absolutely ecstatic to take the win in the Audi R8 LMS.

Green flag - Leading the field at a virtual Road Atlanta

I took pole by .5 second and proceeded to score a dominant win. The Audi never missed a beat and neither did I, as I won by almost 25 seconds and raised $250 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You know, as an aspiring racing driver I’ve seen and met many people I consider brave in my life, but when I hear stories about the children who fight for their lives each day, it becomes hard to imagine anyone braver. Let’s continue to help find cures! Learn more at www.stjude.org.

Proud to wear the St. Jude colors

Sim racing is a very involved thing, and with the pandemic it has become extremely popular, even attracting many real-life, famous racing drivers. This requires an investment in time and equipment, but the benefits are worth it. While it lacks the physicality of in-person racing (g-forces, heat, vibration, the general punishment your body takes), it is nevertheless a valuable training tool and a cost-effective way to keep your skills fresh and current when seat time is not available. My physical training comes courtesy of the Soloflex trainer you see next to my rig below, and the ability to step out and jog, to keep my cardio up.

Front office of the Audi R8 LMS...and a bunch of other virtual speed machines

I did get out to New Jersey Motorsports Park again for some real life testing, this time reconnecting with my old friend Kristina Esposito. Kristina and I started karting together at an indoor place when I was 9 years old, so it was fantastic to see her again.

A pleasant reunion with an old friend

It so happens every race car I’ve driven, even the Ferrari, has been a sequential paddle-shift transmission. So the goal that day was to get some heel and toe practice with a rented BMW E36.

A slightly different front office

To say that there was weather that day would have been an understatement. It was a proper deluge, and some sections of the track resembled rivers and creeks. To top it off, my car was on slick tires, which as you may imagine does not make for a great mix.

All set and ready

However, I managed to become comfortable with heel and toe right away, and proceeded to become so confident with the car that I started to creep up on some decent pace in those horrid conditions...on slicks!

Exiting pit lane and into a watery mess of a track...slick tires not displacing a lot of water

But soon enough I quickly learned one of the cardinal and inevitable lessons for a racing driver – the rain can stick a knife on your back very quickly! Sure enough, we had an off at the Octopus section of NJMP’s Thunderbolt track, which made me feel pretty very awful. Luckily, the damage was no big deal, no one was hurt and we did accomplish what we set out to do.

With that in mind we decided not to risk further damage to the car and call it a day. We were both sad we had to cut it short, but I learned tons about wet driving in the process, pushing a three pedal car with slick tires in the wet, and again reconnecting with one of the nicest people I’ve met so far in racing. Kudos to my passenger Kristina – she certainly doesn’t have to prove her bravery after that day! Many thanks to Jay Menzo of TrackCar4Rent for facilitating the E36. Check out his website at http://www.trackcar4rent.com/.

So the season is winding down, but this will definitely not be the last post for the year, as racing goes on in the form of sim racing – I will post more about that as I hope to be doing more big races during this winter. I’m also planning to continue the relentless search for sponsors and testing/racing opportunities in the coming months. For now, keep watching, liking, subscribing and sharing, and stay safe out there!

Site59 Puts the ”We” Back in Weekend; Two Departure Cities. One Destination. No Problem with New Meet Me In…

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Oct. 18, 2005–Site59, the leader in
last-minute weekend travel, introduces the Meet Me In…(SM) travel
coordinator, an innovative, patent-pending online tool that enables
family and friends to effortlessly connect by traveling from two
departure cities to a common destination with a convenient,
deeply-discounted travel package.

Posed with the present-day challenges of coordinating complex
travel itineraries — a time-consuming mishmash of back-and-forth
communications and open browser windows — Site59 identified a
tremendous opportunity to eliminate cumbersome schedule coordination
by allowing up to four people from two different cities to select
itineraries that maximize their time together.

“Coordinating flight times for two different departure cities in
today’s online environment is very time-consuming because traditional
travel websites are not built for this kind of itinerary,” said Jeff
Varhol, General Manager of Site59, a Travelocity company. “The Meet Me
In… travel coordination tool has been an enormous strategic and
technical undertaking and has required a collective team effort across
Sabre Holdings. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to deliver a travel
service that doesn’t currently exist — and the team has done just
that,” Varhol continued.

The technological highlights of the Meet Me In… travel
coordinator include:

    --  A new search tool that gives customers the choice of either a
        traditional one departure city search or a search that
        simultaneously queries for round-trip flight, hotel, and
        rental car availability from two departure cities -- complete
        with package pricing upfront

    --  A complex algorithm which sorts through thousands of possible
        flight combinations to present the 6 best itineraries, based
        on price, travel time, coordinated arrival and departure
        times, and most importantly, time together

    --  A "time together" calculation (i.e...3 days, 7 hours, 42
        minutes) is shown for all 6 itineraries

    --  A flexible side-by-side flight comparison, which can be
        independently sorted based on the following priorities: price,
        airline, departure time, arrival time, and travel time

    --  A suggested price breakdown for each traveler, including taxes
        and fees, based on the origination cities

“Site59 was a pioneer in dynamic packaging, we launched the
industry’s leading comparison search results, and now the Meet Me
In… tool is yet another innovation designed to spur incremental
leisure travel, the cornerstone of the Site59 business model,” added

The Meet Me In… tool will be featured exclusively on
through the end of 2005, before being rolled out on
(within the Last Minute Packages area of the site).

Providing unrivaled choice and flexibility for spontaneous
travelers who know when and where they want to go-and for those who
need some inspiration — Site59 offers affordable, impulsive,
irresistible Last-Minute Getaways from 14 days up to three hours
before departure to 165 destinations in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean,
Europe and Latin America from more than 150 North American cities.

With real-time inventory from over 4,000 suppliers worldwide,
Site59 Last-Minute Getaways combine Flight + Hotel (with optional
car), Flight + Car, and Hotel + Car, and also include optional travel
extras and editor-recommended destination highlights so that travelers
can make the most of their weekend getaway.

With Meet Me In… on, saving time, saving money and
spending time together just got a whole lot easier. Visit for more details.

About Site59(R)

Named for the 59th, or last, minute, Site59(R) is a recognized

travel and is owned by Travelocity(R), a Sabre Holdings (NYSE:TSG)

Hi y'all...it was through my crop circle friends back in 2002 that I discovered the 13 Moon Calendar (experiencing the cycle of Time differently) and the Dreamspell Signatures. I had delved into western astrology the previous few years and was totally into it - then along came Dreamspell (it's like a whole new 'sign' for you) and I was hooked. It is something for a new era for sure!

My friends had a book called The Mayan Oracle with them and we read our very long descriptions - instant resonation! Unlike western astrology which seems kinda mental (like me!) and air/firey (yang), this Dreamspell stuff seems very earthly and feeling-y (earth/water) - people can instantly feel it without having to do a lot of thinking. That's the way it felt to me, anyway!

My friends also had a book on Wavespells - what they were - and so I combined the 13 day Wavespell idea with the Mayan Oracle book (which feels verrrry channelled/correct) - taking the questions for each day from the vibration of the Daykeeper for that day (language, language, I know!)

Anyway - if you want to see what your 'sign' is Galactic Signature go here and click on the Dreamspell Calculator: http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/free_mayan_readings.html

Then, on the same page you just find your Galactic Signature and click on it and read away! Any resonations??

Each person has a Wavespell as well - it happens every 260 days - and it lasts 13 days. This personal 13 day period is kind of like a listening time - you really watch your life, responses, dreams, relationships, expperiences, opportunities - watch it all and see what's going on - because it's like you're gestating the Theme that will express itself for the next 260 days - stuff happens - it's very cool!

You can find out when your Wavespell is by going to this page and finding your Galactic Signature - then clicking on that Wavespell: http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Mayan_20_Wavespells.html

Here is a great downloadable 13 Moon Calendar for this year: Blue Electric Storm from July 26th, 2008 to July 25th, 2009: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=23168112179&h=PtD6l&a... (I'll have to find the new one for the Yellow Self-Existing Seed year coming up!

Basically the whole World goes through 4 repeating Themes: Red Moon, White Wizard, Blue Storm, Yellow Seed - they are 13 year cycles. So right now we're in Cycle 3 (Electric) Blue Storm - about to move into Cycle 4 (Self-Existing) Yellow Seed. In a nutshell Blue Storm is all about breakdown and breakthrough. You come up against a Wall (within yourself) and you MUST find a way to blast through it into....FREEDOM! Yes! Soooo Blue Storm is how it sounds: stormy. But once you get past that wall, difficulty you are SO free - Transformation. yay! Now, Yellow Seed is all about alllll those beautiful intentions you've been seeding - time to nurture them and watch them sprout. For the past few months Jupiter and Neptune have been conjunct in Aquarius totally helping us all to DREAM (neptune) BIG (jupiter) - I know I've felt it! I think you all have too! So our planetary energies are totally helping us right now to dream as big and as beautiful as we possibly can - because those are the Seeds that we are sowing now - and the time is ripe for them to take hold and grow into our big, beautiful dreams!

Soooooo Dream BIG everyone and nurture those dreams...

Information on the coming year: Yellow Self-Existing Seed: http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Yellow_Seed_World2009.html

We'll need to plan something beautiful on the Day out of Time which occurs on July 25th - I know that Annette said she is planning something with her people outside in nature - I'd love to hear her ideas and anyone else's! Oh Dachnik day is July 23rd too! Woooooo!!

Hmmmmm Spectral energy is about stripping away all that is superfluous so that your true shiny Human self can come through...Vessel, body, abundance...
Hi Megan! Aaaaah that is wonderful! Blue Monkey's have the purest divine child within out of all of them...allow yourself to Play! I had a Blue Galactic Monkey as a boyfriend for the last 5 years and I have to say I feel like I finally got the childhood I never had. Not that my childhood was at all difficult - but I was a mature child I guess and don't remember playing like he and I played - ya know? Soooo good to let her out to play! (I have Saturn and Chiron in my 5th house of childhood which explains that serious side)- but Blue Monkey also RULES my 5th house - oooh so trippy - so I know what you mean about the wounded child AND the pure transparent divine child... I think it's kind fo interesting that boy you and Yogamaya are both Lunar's...hmmmm...all about Relationships...

Hi Yogamay!

Have you checked out this page here? http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Pages/blue_lun_hand.html

I'm not an expert and haven't studied the castles etc...but I do feel that Blue's relate to Water and Emotions....

Yellows: Fire & passion

Whites: Air & mental/cerebral

Reds: Earth & practical/natural

I actually just created what I call a Co-Creative Wavespell e-Calendar (40 colour pages in PDF format) that I'm offering to my Anastasis and Facebook friends for free - so email me at tracey@astrodreamadvisor.com if you'd like one!

You can check out some sample pages through my friends page here: http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Calendar_Friends.html

 (but remember to just email me for a free one!)

Hi Tracey and everybody,

I first came across the 13-moon calendar in 2004, when my former partner and I just happened to be visiting the town of Takaka, Golden Bay, and Jose Arguelles was there that very same day, and was giving a talk on the 13-moon calendar, so we went along, and wow, we were hooked!

My ex-partner (and still best friend), Glenys, she was really hooked, and she is now one of New Zealand's leading authorities on this subject. I followed along with her, and it all makes a lot of sense to me.

Ever since 2004, I have been keeping two calendars, the "old energy" Gregorian calendar for my interactions with "the world", But for my personal use, I use the 13-moon calendar...  today is Resonant 28.

 For the record...... I am a "Red Self-Existing Moon", and on the old traditional astrology system, a triple-Aquarius (Sun, moon. and mercury. with mars just a degree or two away from those three also).

To me, it seems like the 13-moon calendar fits perfectly with everything in the Ringing Cedar books, I could NOT imagine Anastasia having any use for the synthetic 12/60 time cycles of the Gregorian system! Same with the ancient Vedic Culture....  she does not explicitly say in any of the books, but I'll bet they did NOT count time by our warped 12/60 method!

So...  for me, it makes sense that our "future sane communities of Kins' Domains" will count our time by a sane time-keeping method, and drop the artificial, synthetic, Gregorian calendar!

 Much love to you all,

Peter...wowww look at all that Aquarian energy in you! You're already living in a different world! :) I would think, too, that with your Self-Existing tone you would have something in Capricorn or a strong Saturn OR planets in your 10th house...hmmmm! How fortunate that you got to hear Jose talk in person....must have been pretty fascinating....

Vote now in the 2021 Best of San Antonio Readers Poll.

Movies that will (or should) come to SA this fall

Typically, the movies opening in San Antonio have already opened elsewhere first, thanks to that strange studio policy that mistakes our fair city for some sort of a movie dumpster. But with the turn of the weather, we can also hope for a turn in the hearts of the film moguls and start planning now a fall with lots worth seeing before year's end.

The Man With the Iron Fists
(opens November 2)
Quentin Tarantino's love for Hong Kong flicks is well-known, and the Kill Bill movies were a skillful homage to the best choreographed scenes in martial arts cinema. In Iron Fists, he's happy with just producing, letting RZA take the reigns both in front and behind the camera. Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu also appear in the directorial debut of the Wu-Tang Clan leader.

Runner-up: Skyfall, the new 007 movie with James Bond (Daniel Craig) coming back from the "dead." Must-see bonus: Skyfall also features Javier Bardem as a blond bad guy. (Opens November 9)

V / H / S (opening October 5)
Before you dismiss this one as yet another take on the increasingly tedious "found footage" crap genre, be advised: this might be the year's scariest film. "We made it hard to tell what's going to happen," producer Brad Miska told Rolling Stone, "and that makes it feel a little dirty." A little? Let just say you won't have to be Ron Jeremy to cringe when a certain de-membering scene concludes.

Other horror options: Sinister (Oct 12) has Ethan Hawke and family moving to the wrong house at the wrong time, and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (Oct 26) is an alternate reality nightmare not recommended if you've had a traumatic childhood. For old-schoolers: John Carpenter's original Halloween (1980) will be shown at most SA Santikos locations on October 25 and 30. Dubious bonus: Paranormal Activity 4 opens October 19.

Lincoln (opening November 9)
Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln? You better believe it. This Steven Spielberg-directed biopic of the legendary president takes place in the middle of the Civil War and deals with Lincoln's clashes with his cabinet when it came to abolishing slavery. The movie focuses on his life, not his assassination, and is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals. It is Spielberg's most ambitious film since Munich (2005).

Sep 28: Hotel Transylvania, Looper, Won't Back Down. Oct 5: Frankenweenie, Taken 2. Oct 12: Argo, Here Comes the Boom, Seven Psychopats, War of the Buttons.
Oct 19: Alex Cross, Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day (2007 concert), Chasing Mavericks, Clout Atlas, Fun Size. Nov 2: Flight, Wreck-it Ralph. Nov. 16: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2.
Nov. 21: Life of Pi (dir. Ang Lee), Red Dawn, Rise of the Guardians, The Silver Linings Playbook. Nov. 23: Hitchcock (starring Anthony Hopkins). Nov. 30: Killing Them Softly.

SA's Ito Romo Debuts Illuminating Collection

In his first collection, titled The Border is Burning, South Texas author Ito Romo steps far from his magical novel El Puente and gives readers evocative vignettes of characters on the brink of alienation, addiction, desperation and loss. These stories are filled with the gritty, hard-boiled drama that characterizes the literary side of Chicano noir, a genre which has a visual mirror in the work of San Antonio artists such as Adán Hernandez, Alex Rubio and Vincent Valdez. (Little-known fact one: Romo, a professor at St. Mary’s University, is also a visual artist and once had a solo exhibition at Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum curated by Valdez). (Little-known fact two: Valdez created the book jacket’s artwork).

Romo eases readers in with opening story “Baby Money,” a tale of juxtaposition in which a mother, confronted with a sideshow spectacle on the Mexican shores of the Rio Grande after a tumultuous flood, faces her fears while a young boy on the American side does the same. “Chicken Pot Pie” gives unforgiving and ultimately tragic insight into the exaggerated masculinity, or machismo, that runs rampant throughout South Texas. Take, for example, this sentence: “He loved the boys, though, loved them in his own way—macho, hard. They were boys after all, not little sissies.”

The more punishing blows come quick and unadulterated in “Crank,” “Cut Ya” and “The Border is Burning.” These are the barefaced origin stories of South Texas and reminiscent of creation myths such as the Central American Popol Vuh, with yearning women, men and children revealed at their most raw and primitive states. When speaking about the character development in an interview with the Current, Romo said, “I’m writing about the disenfranchised … the people that we have conceptualized into welfare recipients, into the poor, lazy, drug addicts, into all of these concepts that are no longer real anymore. … I hope that people are at least able to think about that underworld that is not a part of ours.”

The overall process to complete The Border is Burning took Romo more than a decade. During that time he won a grant from the Artist Foundation of San Antonio in 2008 to complete the book and saw the story “Crank” published in Akashic Books’ first Lone Star Noir collection. Although The Border is Burning reads quickly, Romo gives readers an earthy, hyperrealistic view of the vast stretch of landscape along Interstate 35: from the arid and dangerous territory near the Rio Grande to the perilous neighborhoods of San Antonio and back. Romo said, “We start on the border and we end on the border.” If you’re looking for a slim but dense read to close out South Texas’ 100-degree summer heat, The Border is Burning is highly recommended.

Far from home, Haitians build new lives in Tijuana

Far from home, Haitians build new lives in Tijuana

For John Arold Lazarre, the plan was to migrate to Miami, to join his aunts, uncles and cousins there. He would build a new life in the United States and send money home to his young son and widowed mother in La Gonâve, Haiti.

Tijuana? That was never his dream.

But now a year after arriving at Mexico’s northern border, the 29-year-old migrant has no plans to move away. “I never want to go anywhere illegally again,” Lazarre said one night last week as he prepared for an overnight shift helping guide airplanes at Tijuana’s A.L.Rodríguez International Airport.

Lazarre is one of more than 3,000 Haitians who are living in Baja California, the result of an unprecedented migratory phenomenon that brought thousands of Haitians to the San Diego border in 2016.

The majority today are quietly integrating into the city, though their presence has hardly gone unnoticed in a country where only a tiny percentage of the population is of African descent.

Across Tijuana, they can be seen pumping gas, peddling fruit, washing cars. They’re working on construction sites, in hotel restaurants, on factory production lines. They’re attending Creole-language church services, eating in the handful of modest Haitian restaurants.

“They are people who are not easily defeated,” said Gustavo Banda, a pastor who is housing some 60 Haitians at Templo Embajadores de Jesus, an evangelical church in Tijuana’s hardscrabble Cañon del Alacran. “I can see that in a very short time, they are learning the language. I think they’re are going to adapt very quickly.”

At the small Labadee restaurant in downtown Tijuana, Sonia Commandant is hard at work in the open kitchen, presiding over steaming pots of chicken, rice, beans and vegetable stew. Philocles Julda is on the assembly line at Hyundai’s trailer manufacturing plant in Rosarito Beach. Renant Jean works two jobs—cleaning a house in the well-to-do Agua Caliente neighborhood, then selling candy in the street.

At Plaza del Zapato in the city’s Río Zone, Godneil Chatelain has found work at the trendy Lumi brewery. His cousin, Nickson Pierre, a former medical student, was recently hired as a radiology technician.

The great majority are adult men in their 20s, 30s and 40s, many now separated from family: Some have wives and children who were able to cross the United States, and many have families in Haiti who are counting on their support. They arrived in Tijuana last year, most by way of Brazil , where they had found work following Haiti’s devastating earthquake of January 2010.

But as Brazil’s economy suffered a major downturn, even low-paying jobs became scarce. So many Haitians began leaving for the U.S. border. Traveling for months by bus and foot, they took a dangerous land journey that cost thousands of dollars, presenting themselves at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

By May 2016, their numbers had become notable as hundreds anxiously crowded the busy port. They were typically granted humanitarian parole, a temporary status that allowed them into the United States while an immigration judge considered their petition.

But on Sept. 22, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security put a halt to the policy, and those Haitians who persisted in seeking admittance instead faced detention and swift deportation to their country. As that reality set in, Haitians like Lazarre who had yet to cross reconsidered their options—and opted to stay in Mexico.

Most now have renewable one-year humanitarian visas—a status granted by the Mexican government that allows them to work, travel abroad and receive medical benefits in Mexico—but not bring in family.

Today, they are scattered in different parts of the city as they find jobs and housing. They are learning Spanish, mastering the complex system of buses and taxis, leading low-key lives, and staying in close touch with family back home.

The initial challenge was ensuring the Haitians had proper identification from their home country—without that, Mexico would not grant them permission to remain. Many had lost their papers, or had them stolen on the journey to Mexico said Guy Lamothe, Haiti’s ambassador to Mexico, who has led efforts to provide these documents.

With the majority now properly identified and able to work in Mexico, Lamothe said the issue now is to ensure they can receive the same benefits as Mexican workers, with entitlements to disability, retirement and housing programs.

Mexican authorities, “have told us that they are doing everything possible so that these people can have permanent status here, so that they can have full benefits,” Lamothe said.

Juana Pérez, Baja California’s labor secretary, said the state government has been urging federal authorities to give those on humanitarian visas “the same labor rights as the rest of Mexican workers.”

Employers in the state “are pleased, these are people with a very good attitude,” Pérez said. With job growth in the state exceeding projections this year, “Haitians are not taking away work from Mexicans, on the contrary, they are coming here to enrich our culture,” she said.

Mexico’s top immigration official in Baja California, Rodulfo Figueroa, said “things are moving forward.” Those who marry Mexicans or have Mexican-born children can qualify to become permanent residents. Others might change their status through job offers. “We assume the situation will evolve,” he said. “If they get Mexican jobs, have Mexican children, we assume they’re going to be assimilated.”

At the upscale Hotel Lucerna, three Haitian employees are now on staff, and their supervisors say they are pleased with their performance. Two are kitchen helpers. The third has been assigned to clean the public areas, and spends his off time studying Spanish and learning on computer skills, said Adriana Alarcon, the chief housekeeper. “He told us he wants to be someone who is prepared,” Alarcon said.

Mexican government figures show that as of last week, more than 2,150 Haitians were enrolled for health benefits in Baja California through the federal social security system, about 80 percent of them in Tijuana. Figures from Baja California civil registry office showed nine weddings and five births involving Haitians so far this year.

The state’s public school system has only two Haitian-born students registered, both in pre-school, one in Tijuana and the other in Mexicali. The system’s records show that five adults have started the paperwork to have their foreign high school studies recognized in order to enroll at the university.

The Universidad Iberoamericana in Tijuana, a private Jesuit-run school, in August admitted its first two two Haitian scholarship students, one studying engineering the other business administration.

Nickson Pierre, 29, lives with his 25-year-old cousin, Godneil Chatelain, in a sparsely furnished apartment on a quiet courtyard in eastern Tijuana.

A native of the city of Gonaives on Haiti’s northwest coast, Pierre had left Haiti after high school to live with his father in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas. He had two years of medical school under his belt, but the growing violence and poverty there gave him little hope for the future. In September, he took off for the U.S. border, arriving in Tijuana last Dec. 10 after spending $5000 to get there.

The hardest thing, he said, has been missing family members left behind. “My brothers, my sisters, my mother, in any country without them, I’m going to feel sad,” Pierre said. But back in Haiti, “things are difficult, there is no work.”

Pierre has found employment in adopted city, and for the past month has been working as a radiology technician in a Tijuana imaging center.

His fluent Spanish and musical abilities have opened up other doors as well: He and his cousin have now teamed with the singer-songwriter Ceci Bastida for a video, entitled: Welcome to Tijuana.

“My idea was not to stay here,” Pierre said. “But in life, you should never say never.”

Cubis® Analytical Balance

MSA – the Non Plus Ultra

  • Top-of-the-line technology and information design
  • Touch screen featuring high-resolution color TFT for high-contrast display of text and graphics
  • Outstanding operating convenience and display quality, especially for complex applications
  • Q-Apps that can be customized to your individual workflows

Item no.:  MSA324S-100-DU

See Successor Product

Cubis®. Buffet, à la Carte or Fully Customized?

Universal lab balances often have only limited options for adaptation to special workflows in laboratories. Usually, a situation results where SOPs have to be modified to work around the balance functionalities available.

Sartorius Cubis® balances overcome these limitations. They are the first laboratory balances that not only can be seamlessly integrated into your individual workflows. Thanks to a wide selection of accessories and mechanical components for extended options, these balances can also be adapted to your weighing containers and workplace conditions better than any other balance.

Users can choose from thousands of options to configure their balance to suit their individual needs and obtain the optimal solution for integration into their process. But we didn’t stop at this level of innovation: When customers require a perfect solution to allow them to incorporate the lab balance into their processes in a fully individual way, configurability is simply not enough. With , we provide an elegant software solution that needs no additional laptop to implement a fully individual profile of specifications – from the integration of data into the infrastructure of the software to the complete control of the weighing process – and beyond. Your benefits: quick, clearlydefined processes and accuracy. But the growth on the 'hardware side' of the Cubis® family is unstoppable as well. With the new high capacity models, Cubis® now covers the entire range from the research and QC laboratory to the process developement labs and compounding areas. Here, Cubis® offers you the comprehensive accessories program to fit the solutions for your fully individual applications as well.

Safe and Easy to Use with Standard Q-Guide

In addition to aspects strictly involving metrological specifications, preparing for and performing a weighing procedure and meeting the relevant regulatory standards are gaining ever-increasing importance. With the Q-Guide user interface, work tasks are not only faster but Q-Guide eliminates the need for the user to follow time-consuming working steps. The Q-Guide is designed so that the user only ever sees what is needed for carrying out the task at hand. Once a task has been defined, Q-guide guides the user interactively through the settings and hides information that is not relevant.

Individuality is the Key - More Efficiency and Safety with Q-Apps

Turn your Cubis® lab balance into Cubis®individual, and integrate customer-specific applications, called Q-Apps, into your balance. These are reloadable application programs that guide the user step-by-step through the specific workflow. It is thus guaranteed that the procedures described in the corresponding SOPs are observed at all times. This makes Q-Apps an attractive alternative to implementing external middleware.

Choose between Two Types of Q-Apps

As individual Q-Apps are performed according to their specific application, a variety of solutions for differential weighing, formula and filling quantity control applications are available as standard Q-Apps. Moreover, it is also possible to use standardized Q-Apps applications for the determination of the minimum sample weight according to USP as well as for easy pipette calibration. Workflows can be performed independently and do not necessarily require a PC connection.

Q-Level - The Automatic, Motorized Leveling Function

Exact leveling of a lab balance is the key element in inspection equipment monitoring and is essential for reliable readings. This is where Q-Level can provide valuable support, because users can define which tasks they will perform themselves and which the balance should carry out on its own. This is possible regardless of which of the three display | control units is chosen. Cubis® is the first lab balance that automatically checks, performs and documents its exact leveling. The Cubis® balance can be leveled with the push of a button or fully automatically when the isoCALfunction has been activated. Quick and safe leveling with a significantly reduced risk of contamination for users when they work with toxic substances in safety weighing cabinets. This eases the burden on the user and allows more time for the user’s actual tasks, in addition to being safer.

The Silent Grief Of Miscarriage And Stillbirth

October 14, 2016 Updated June 19, 2017

The Silent Grief of Miscarriage and Stillbirth
Image via Shutterstock

Trigger Warning: This story contains an image of and information about miscarriage, stillbirth, and pregnancy loss.

To put it bluntly, I have always been exceptional. I was high school valedictorian, graduated magna cum laude from an elite university, and while on full fellowship, earned two master’s degrees and a doctorate. So, when it came to motherhood, I expected to maintain this level of excellence.

Unfortunately, I was brutally reminded that there are two definitions associated with the word exceptional. As a student, I was exceptionally good; yet, as a mother, I was exceptionally unusual.

Five years ago this summer, my daughter and I became part of a silent statistic: Less than 1% of pregnancies end in stillbirth in the United States, with stillbirth defined as fetal death after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Then, a year later, I became part of another potentially dangerous set of statistics: Approximately 5 to 8% of pregnancies are affected by preeclampsia (i.e., toxemia or pregnancy-induced hypertension); preeclampsia causes 15% of premature births.

For the first time in my life, I was a failure. I failed to protect my children — one died within my womb and the other had to be forcibly removed at only 30 weeks gestation because I could not handle the pregnancy. What kind of mother was I? What kind of woman could not manage, at the very least, 37 weeks of pregnancy?

herjua / Shutterstock

With my daughter, I had what we thought was a normal pregnancy until the routine 20-week ultrasound. She was measuring much smaller than expected. When I, along with my husband and mother, returned two weeks later for a follow up exam to check for growth, there was no heartbeat. None of us expected it. We were in shock. It is a moment that none of us will forget.

Immediately after hearing the devastating news, we were ushered into the doctor’s consult office. As I sat in grief, I was presented with two options. The first involved the dilation and evacuation procedure, often used to terminate pregnancies beyond the 12th week. Afterwards, I would not be able to see my baby because she would not be intact due to the procedure. Or, I could be induced in the hospital’s maternity ward to undergo the traditional labor process. I ended up being induced.

The next day, with my husband and parents at my side, I lay in a hospital bed for 12 hours under the constant supervision of the wonderful hospital staff and monitored by machines. A little after 2 a.m., I delivered, without complications, a 6-ounce baby girl with 10 little fingers and 10 itty-bitty toes. For a brief moment, I held her in my arms. She was not a “product of conception” as one doctor had described a day earlier. She had my husband’s profile. Her cause of death was never determined, but I do know she was perfect.

I recovered well after the delivery — physically that is. My daughter’s death destroyed me emotionally and spiritually. Instead of picking out a crib, I picked out a casket and designed a grave marker.

A few months later, instead of grieving on the day that we calculated would have been our daughter’s birth, I was expecting — literally. I found out that I was pregnant again. This second child was projected to arrive around the anniversary of our daughter’s death. In our time of great sadness, we had hope.

Well, this pregnancy was certainly quite different from the last. I had the “any time of day” sickness, a non-flu but flu-like illness, pink eye (for the first time in my life), and my blood pressure started to creep up. At 29 weeks, I ended up in the hospital with pre-eclampsia. I made it an extra week and a day before requiring an induction to save my life and that of my son.

Due to his prematurity, my son spent the first nine weeks of his life in the intensive care nursery, but today, at 4-years-old, he is a robust little man. He does not suffer any complications due to his early arrival. He is our treasure.

Yet, as I look at my son, beautiful and perfect in every way, I feel conflicted. I have him because I lost my other child. I might never have had him if my daughter was living today. While each day is filled with joyful giggles and warm cuddles, a hidden pain lurks about. The memory of a life lost too soon haunts me.

I have told my son about his big sister. We have visited her grave. We talk about her. She is his personal guardian angel, who I am convinced saved him during his own tumultuous arrival.

I want her to be a part of our lives, now and forever, but in our culture, we have been taught to keep silent about miscarriage and stillbirth. Is our silence supposed to heal us, like letting go of the past and moving on toward a brighter future? Has the reproductive rights movement encouraged this silence for fear that this act of mourning humanizes the fetus and, thus, inconveniently interferes with abortion rights?

With the birth of my son, I courageously looked death in the face and actually sang Queen’s Under Pressure as the doctors cut me open. With the death of my daughter, I mourned in silence. I am allowed in this culture to celebrate the accomplishment of my son’s birth but urged to forget that of my daughter’s. As a feminist, how can I take pride in surviving the circumstances of one birth without the other? For my own healing, I need to recognize and validate both. My children at 22 weeks or 30 weeks were certainly human and certainly a part of me. I will not apologize for my pain. I will not forget.

I admit that I cringe when anyone asks me how many children I have. How do I respond? If I say one, I feel like I am betraying the memory of my daughter. If I say two, it requires an explanation that makes people uncomfortable.

I have become accustomed to responding with, “one on earth and one in heaven.” I never need to explain further, for I am more often than not met with a simple nod or comforting gesture by other women. Their eyes, however, betray a silent understanding. We share a special secret as mothers.

I am forever changed by the events five years ago. I am broken like all mothers who risk their lives to bring their children into the world, whose bodies bear the extra weight and bodily forces in creating and then ejecting this new life. Our bodies break when we deliver them, and our hearts break when we first see them. We will never be as close and together than when we carry them in our womb.

It has been five years since the death of my daughter. I have been silent about my grief for five years because it was inconvenient, uncomfortable, and ugly. I will not be silent anymore.

October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. For information on how to find support and raise awareness for those suffering from loss, visit
