Swooping is a spectacular sport to watch, and there are a few
parts of it that make it much more fun to watch than regular sky
diving. For one thing, the majority of the sport actually
happens near the ground. This makes it much easier for a normal
audience to experience a swooping competition - you don’t have
to jump out of the plane with the swoopers to see what they are
doing in order to win the competition.
There are several different types of swooping competitions, and
one of the biggest events involves distance. While there are
several ways to determine the length of a swoop, most
competitions find it easier to do this event over a lake or pond
of some sort. As a result, the swooping distance is measured
from the point where the swooper’s feet first hit the lake until
the moment when they finally land.
Like any distance sport, more and more swoopers will end up
breaking the distance record. This is especially likely in a
sport like swooping when the equipment can have such a large
effect on whether or not it is possible to swoop for long
distances.
The upper limit on distances for swooping now is the record that
was set by Shannon Pilcher. He managed to swoop an entire 418
feet, or about 125 meters. When you consider that a football
field is 300 ft, that’s a long way!
In order to swoop that far, swoopers have to be going pretty
fast before they hit the ground - at least a little bit faster
than they would be if they were just sky diving normally.
Swoopers usually pick up speed again near the ground by making a
few turns near the ground. Going long distances is pretty
difficult, since these last turns are the hardest part of sky
diving.
It might be possible that there is a limit as to how far people
can swoop. However, until that limit is reached, swoopers will
continue to swoop farther and farther. As it is, however, the
distance you can count on somebody being able to swoop depends a
lot on their experience and the type of equipment that they’re
using.
My name is Itzik Keidar and, I am coping, quite well with “Cancer” “medical diagnosis” and “treatments” (To me they are just words..!). It’s been 12 years since I had a surgery to remove my type of Cancer and thank God…
I’m Still Defeating It, All The Way!!!
Here is my story.
12 years ago, I had a Melanoma skin cancer.
Melanoma is not as painful as Mesothelioma but it’s certainly as wicked, and it had to be removed.
After the surgery, my doctor informed me that I’ll probably get the same cancer in 2 years, unless I’ll visit the hospital every day for the next 3 years and get Interferon injections.
I remember thinking to myself… “If I’ll follow doctor’s recommendations, it will make me be aware of the word “Cancer” every single day and would give it the power that this word doesn’t deserve.
I don’t recommend you to do the same, but regardless of my wife’s opinion, I took a decision, not only to reject the treatments, but also to ignore the periodical medical surveillances. Deep in my heart, I knew! That if God would decide to take my life then so be it…
Today, 12 years later, I am ignoring, even, the word “cholesterol” and stick to my insight that
Death is a part of life!
Accepting this insight alone changed my entire life.
To have the guts doing what I did, one must have a very strong belief. For me it was more then a belief,
I Knew that every thing will be all right.
: ; : ; : ;
I think it is a really good thing that you are gaining information to make your decisions.
Since my father died from Lung cancer, I know how hard it is to cope with it without enough information available. I believe, that knowledge and information are a very important part in the process of defeating Mesothelioma cancer or any other type of cancer.
Understanding that you, or one in your family, are the one who,
faced with Mesothelioma Diagnosis and that you have the right and
the ability to make the decisions yourself, is foremost to keep in mind.
Only you know what you are truly capable of !
When you are asking for answers and you are feeling confused, come back here and ask.
I am all here for you and I can point you to some good Mesothelioma resourses.
You are not alone!
Thank You,
And Good Luck With Your Journey!
Sincerely, Itzik Keidar

Hair loss in men is a common occurrence. Sure, it happens more so in some men than others, but every man loses hair. The most common cause of hair loss in men is genetics. If either one of your parents experienced hair loss, you are far more susceptible to hair loss over the course of your life.
Hair loss in men is far more common than it is in women. Along with hair loss being hereditary, other common causes are mental and physical stress as well as age. Yes, stress does cause your hair to fall out. Even simple everyday stress can do this but it is much more prevalent in men who have high stress occupations.
Hair loss for men usually starts to occur with the thinning of the hair. When this starts to happen, you will usually notice that your hair is falling out piece by piece or in clumps. Early hair loss in men is also accompanied by a receding hair line. As the hairline continues to recede, a man has a few options. He can begin to cut his hair shorter to cover up the recession, find a hair loss cure, or simply deal with it. To some, it is a big deal to loose their hair, but on the other hand, some men don’t worry about it at all.
Hair loss in men has never been more treatable than it is today. There are many solutions including Rogaine, which is the most popular cure available. Rogaine works in the majority of the men who use it. Hair loss in men can also be combated by topical solutions, or natural remedies, such as vitamins.
Another popular remedy for hair loss in men is hair transplantation surgery. This plan of action has become more popular in the last three years due to more professionals practicing this technique and better results from the surgery. This surgery consists of your doctor grafting areas of your scalp that are in good condition to areas that are thinning or balding. More and more men with hair loss are looking in this direction for a cure.
If you are experiencing hair loss symptoms, you can consult with your family physician or seek out help from a specialist. You can even go to your local pharmacy and shop around for a treatment. Most pharmacists will be able to recommend one hair loss treatment over another.
