\ PALMS and MYRTLES
Thy praise, 0 Lord, will I proclaim
Y In hymns unto Thy glorious name.
0 Thou Redeemer, Lord and King,
Redemption to Thy faithful bring!
S Before Thine altar they rejoice
With branch of palm and myrtle-stem;
To Thee they raise the prayerful voice-
Have mercy, save and prosper them.
Y They overflow with prayer and praise
Y To Him who knows the future days.
Y Have mercy Thou, and hear the prayer
Of those who palms and myrtles bear.
Thee day and night they sanctify
And in perpetual song adore;
Like to the heavenly host, they cry,
'Blessed arfThou for evermore.'

To My Way of Thinking
By Rabbi Israel H. Weisfeld '
(Continued from Page 1)
am I skeptical? I am skeptical
because, while I do not doubt
the sincerity of either of the
two statesman, I do greatly
doubt the feasibility of an
idea brought about in the
manner in which this has
come about.
Just as long as about nine-
ty cents of every dollar the
taxpayer gives to the govern-
ment, goes to defray the ex-
penses of no nobler institu-
tion than the army and navy,
just as long as the United
States of America has in its
cabinet a Secretary of War
but no Secretary of Educa-
tion or Secretary of Health;
jus tas long as the launching
of a new cruiser is a national
event attended by the highest
notables while the dedication
of a long needed institution
of learning is honored by the
presence of a few ward poli-
ticians and timid educators-
there can be no peace that
will be worthwhile.
A country that allows and ev-
en encourages the lobbying of
parties frankly intent upon
furthering the interests of
war and wholesale slaughter,
while it ignores or even sup-
presses pacifistic bodies; a
country that is tolerant of
and even amused by the ras-
cality of such scoundrels as
shearer, such a country has
not yet reached the stage of
perfect understanding of the
true nature of peace.
Why is it that the League of
Nations has been effective on-
ly in a few, minor instances
and been a rank failure in ad-
justing the differences of
powerful nations? Why is it
that in the recent massacres
in Palestine, the protest and
righteous indignation of a
shocked world was futile--
and that the presence of two
dreadnaughts in Palestinian
waters plus some bombing
airplanes and a few detach-
ments of stolid soldiers
brought the barbaric Arabs
back to reason pronto? And,
pray, why is it that coinciden-
tal with this fervent plea, and.
after it. the Russian-Chinese
war calmly progresses while
the entire world, pretends to
be looking in the other direc-
tion? Why?
Why? Because the request
for universal peace must
come from within and not
from without.
The beautiful prophecy of
Isaih, "Nation will not lift up
a sword against another na-

tion, and they will no longer
learn the art of warfare" will
become a reality only after the
people of the world will have
become peace-minded; only
when peace propaganda and
not military tactics will have
come universally common;
when th efolly of war and the
blessed beauty of peace will
have become so obvious that a
child will immediately com-
When will that come about?
Just as soon as school histor-
ies cease being a series of
war-stories, with special em-
phasis laid on the minutest
and most trivial war-campaign
details, while utterly ignoring
the birth and development of
new cultural movements, of
broadened life philosophies.
When Socrates, Abelard, Dan-
te, Newton, Goethe, Schu-
bert and Voltaire can vie in
popularity with Alexander the
Great, Frederick the Great,
and Napoleon Bonaparte-
when the names. Dewey,
James, Harvey Robinson,
Eugene Debs, Charles Eliot
will be as familiar to the child
as the names John Pershing,
Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and
Bobby Jones--in other words
when education becomes radi-
cally different from what it
is at present, when public
functions will be graced by
educators, passionate paci-
fists, authors, rather than by
admirals and generals.
Best of all, when people of
one country lose their innate
suspicion of the people of the
adjoining country and, unarm-
ed and disarmed treat them
like brothers, war will be a
tale told by doddering grand-
fatheqs to frankly skeptical
grandchildren. Only educa-
cation is potent enough to
bring this change about.
Because of the above men-
tioned, I rejoice that even dip-
lomatic circles have sensed
the trend and are perhaps her-
alding the approach of a new
dawn, but, also because of the
above, there is an alloy in my
joy; I am skeptical, and I
hope and pray, unjustly so.

Mrs. Cohen Gets

In a little village in the
eastern part of Europe Mrs.
Cohen had been born, reared,
taught her letters, and mar-
ried. Her first departure from
her native town was her trip
to the United States, where
her husband had preceded her
by several years. After hav-
ing been in this country for
some time, she wrote the fol-
lowing letter to her sister:

Coming as this issue does,
on the eve of Succos, the cul-
mination of the High Holi-
days and which is ended by
Sinchas Torah, "The Feast
of the Law" we wonder wheth-
er a thought or two may not
be devoted to what Judaism
means. So much has been said
of recent years as to the fail-
ure of Judaism and especially
Traditional Judaism to at-
tract the younger folks, and
so much has been made of the
so-called lack of adaptation of
Traditional Judaism to pre-
sent day demands that we feel
it to be our duty to present
for the perusal of our read-
ers what we consider to be
dne of the most splendidly
written papers on the subject
that it has been our fortune
ever to read. Rabbi Drob is
considered to be one of the
most able of present day Rab-
bis especially amongst the
graduates of the Jewish The-
ological Seminary of America
and has been noted for his
stand in favor of Traditional
Judaism and against the at-
tempts of many of his col-
leagues of the Conservative
movement to change tradi-
tions and observances. It may
be recalled to oar readers that
the famous paper referred to
in the end of the article, "I
am a Hebrew" by Dr. Cyrus
Adler, president of the Jewish
Theological Seminary of
America amonst other things
affirms the belief that the
sexes must be separated in
Synagogues affirming their
belief in traditional Judaism.
A Reaffirmation
of Traditional
By Rabbi Max Drob
I was born in a very pious
Jewish home. Both my par-
eate observed even the min-
utlae of the Jewish law. In
tbh little Pbhish town where
I spent my childhood, Jewish
observance was the rule and
not the exception. All my
teachers were God-fearing
men of impeccable character
ho aru o y practiced
The Ju they taught.
They wr U
Wv- uninnabl
me, which they had receiv-
ed from their parents and
teachers, who in turn had re-
ceived it in direct line from
"Moses, Joshua, the Elders,
the Prophets, the Men of the
Great Synagogue, the Rabbis
and the Scholars" of every
generation. This Judaism they
received, and this Judaism
they taught me.
I have never had the inclin-
ation to while away my time
in idle speculation as to what
kind of a Judaism I would
have liked to receive. To do
so would have been as idle
as to speculate on what kind
of a mother or a father I
would have liked to have. If
I had been consulted, I might
have chosen a mother as beau-
tiful as .Venus or a father as
rich as Croesus. Fortunately
or unfortunately, I was not
consulted in the matter. It was
God's will that I should be
born in a certain place to cer-
tain parents. Likewise, the
Judaism I profess is not of
my making or of my choos-
ing. Had I been brought up
without any religion, I really
do not know if I would have
chosen Judaism. In fact, I feel
reasonably certain that had I
been born of Christian par-
ents. I would have remained a
Christian and might today
have been addressing a Chris-
tian assembly on Fundament-
alism. If I am a Jew, it is
therefore because of no men-
tal processes or philosophic
researches, but simply be-
cause God willed it that I
should be born of Jewish par-
ents. Nor can I say that I
have ever consciously chosen
Judaism, since Judaism never
granted anyone the right to
say whether he desired to re-
main a Jew or not. It is one
of Judaism's cardinal doc-
trines that a Jew who breaks
any of its laws is a sinner,
and he who leaves the faith is
a traitor. Judaism is there-
fore not only my birthright
but also my responsibility
which I cannot shirk or re-
This Judaism I received in
my little town, and while
there, I observed it as a mat-
ter of course. When I came to
this country, while I found the
observance of Judaism not so
general as in my birthplace,
I was privileged to move in
circles that were loyal to the
Torah. My Hebrew education,
too, was continued under
teachers who were as devoted
to Jdaism as my parents.
The immigration to this coun-
try therefore occasioned no
change in my adherence to
Traditional Judaism, its tenets
and practices.
When I decided to enter the
ministry, I chose the Jewish
Theological Seminary because
I believed it to be an institu-
tion for the promulgation of
Traditional Judaism. Reading
its history, I learned that Sa-
bato Morais of blessed mem-
ory founded it because the
older institution at Cincinnati
had definitely broken with
tradition. At first he had be-
lievad that Torah was non-
setmridan ad that it was pos-
or ilfor one institution to
both the tra-
d the then less tra-
i th. When,
r Tr.in the Wladsrs
realized his error and set
about to found a separate in-
stitution for the training of
Rabbis pledged to Traditional
Judaism. Thus the Jewish
Theological Seminary from its
very inception was committed
to Traditional Judaism. Many
have been the detractors of
the Seminary, but I challenge
them to point to any instance
wherein it has deviated from
its avowed loyalty to tradi-
Dr. Schechter of blessed
memory repeatedly stated
that the Seminary is not the
center nor even the nucleus of
a third party in Judaism. The
Seminary, he insisted, has no
desire to promulgate a new
Schulhan Aruch or even to
amend the old one, and it cer-
tainly presents no new the-
ology. Higher criticism he de-
cried as "higher anti-Semi-
tism" and he cautioned us
against adopting its conclu-
sions. He required the profes-
sors and the students to ob-
serve traditional Judaism, a
requirement which can be
found in every Register of the
institution. He saw to it that
the model synagogue at the
Seminary was conducted in
strict accordance with tradi-
tion, and its beautiful service
reflected the spirit of loyalty
that animated the institution.
When the United Synagogue
was founded, its constitution
distinctly stated that it did
not sanction the innovations
made by some of its consti-
tuent synagogues. If there
has ever been a change of
front, no statement to that ef-
fect has ever been made. I
look in vain for any record
that the United Synagogue
ever amended that clause in
its constitution or that the
Jewish Theological Seminary
ever ceased to be loyal to the
avowed purpose of the foun-
der. In preaching and teach-
ing traditional Judaism, I
therefore feel that I am loyal
to the charge given me at my
ordination eighteen years ago.
Since that time, I have re-
ceived no revelation from God
urging me to reform Judaism,
nor have I been conceited
enough to feel divinely or-
dained to reconstruct tradi-
tional Judaism. Had I been
asked to recast. Judaism, I
might have been tempted to
create a Judaism different in
many respects from tradition.
Yet, on second thought, seeing
the mess our Reform col-
leagues have made of their
task, I believe that I would
still prefer the cumulative
wisdom qf the ages to the
snap judgement of the day.
Had I, during these eighteen
years, come to the conclusion
that I could no longer preach
and teach traditional Judaism
I would have been honest
enough to part company with
the Seminary, the Rabbinical
Assembly and the United Sy-
nagogue. Likewise, had these
institutions, God forbid de-
parted from traditional Juda-
ism, I would have felt it my
duty to break with them pain-
ful as the process might have.

was taught in the Seminary,

While touring through the
Great Smoky Mountains an
artist paused at a picturesque
spot, parked his car by the
roadside, laid out his paint
box, palette and easel, and
prepared to sketch the scene.
An old mountaineer came by
and stopped to watch these
preparations, with keen inter-
est. He had never seen an ar-
tist at work, but he recogniz-
ed the materials as paint and
The artist had a happy
thought. What a character
study this man would make!
"I'1 tell you what I'll do, my
friend," he said to the moun-
taineer. "If you'll let me paint
you I'll give you five dollars."
The old fellow hesitated and
scratched his grizzled beard as
though in perplexity.
"What do you say?" urged
the artist. "That's an easy
way to make five dollars."
"Yes, suh, I know that," re-
plied the old man, "and I'd
shore like to make it. But
what's a-worryin' me is, how
would I git the paint off'n
me a'terwards ?"
"Nurse," said the amorous
patient, "I'm in love with you.
I don't want to get well."
"Cheer up, you won't," she
assured him. "The doctor's in
love with me, too, and he saw
you kiss me this morning."
The question, "Name two
Indian tribes of Mississippi
and tell something about their
costumes and habits," was
answered as follows by a
negro applicant in that state
for a teacher's certificate:
"The Coco Colas and the
Semicolons. They wore feath-
ers in there costumes and
their habits was bad."
Judging from the way

A Reaffirmation
of Traditional
I Judaism
By Rabbi Max Drob
(Continued from Page 3)
pean brethren, we believe that
traditional Judaism in this
land can be promulgated only
in synagogues that are out-
wardly as well as inwardly
beautiful, and at services
where decorum and order pre-
vail. We believe that tradi-
tional Judaism must be
preached in English, a lan-
guage which the people un-
derstand, and by men who are
the masters of their congre-
nation by virtue of their secu-
ar as well as their religious
education. The Hebrew School
e insist, must be as beauti-
ul as, if not ranPe beautiful
than, the silec school and
Must empl i latest peda-
yogic i tat
4ft. Ju
real orthodox Judaism has
never been opposed to beauti-
ful synagogues, to orderly
services or to modern meth-
ods of teaching and preach-
ing. The "beauty of holiness"
was not discovered by Reform
Judaism; it was always the
possession of traditional Ju-
daism. Only the pitiable econ-
omic conditions and the lack
of order characteristic of Sla-
vonic lands, weaned the Jew
from his love for the beauti-
ful. As the Jew in America
rises culturally, he sees to it
that his synagogues reflect
the higher cultural standards
prevailing in his home life.
As to the content of Juda-
ism, there is really no differ-
ence between the traditional
Judaism as it was taught at
the Seminary, and Orthodox
Judaism. We believe in the
divine revelation of the To-
rah, in the binding character
of tradition and the duty
to practice the laws of Juda-
ism as promulgated in the To-
rah, as interpreted by the Tal-
mud and as codified by the
sages of Israel. We realize
that life has not stood still
since the Torah was promul-
gated. In every age and in
every clime, conditions have
arisen calling for the readjust-
ment of the old to the de-
mands of the changed~times
and the changed environment.
Judaism has not been de f to
these demands for readjust-
ment and change, but it has
insisted that they be made in
the prescribed manner either
through interpretation by
competent scholars, or thru
legislation by a duly consti-
tuted Sanhedrin. It is a libel
to state that Judaism in post-
Talmudic times became petri-
fied and set its face against
the demands of life. What
really happened was that Ju-
daism opposed wanton or un-
licensed change either by in-
dividuals or by groups. Rabbi
Joshua and Rabbi Eliezer, for
example, were taught the les-
son and that Judaisrm as a re-
ligion of "law and order" de-
mands the subordination of
one's individual opinion sound
as it may seem, to the will of
the constituted authority.
Otherwise, chaos and anarchy
may result. If therefore we
feel that certain laws like that
regarding the Agunah, for
example, require revision, we
are at liberty to do so if, by
examining the laws in ques-
tion and by the accepted rules
of interpretation, we find
them amenable to revision.
Failing to find such justifica-
tion, we should be loyal
enough to tradition to obey
these laws, difficult as they
may be, until "Catholic Israel"
shall have legislated their re-
vision. In asking this, tradi-
tional Judaism makes no
greater demand than our gov-
ernment, which has always in-
sisted that as citizens we obey
the laws of the land uhtil
they are amended or repealed.
Traditional Judaism, there-
fore, has always been oppos-
ed to change by individuals
or groups as endangering
"Catholic Israel." The intro-
duction of changes in the sy-
nagogue, for example, harm-
Isa Os it may be in itself, be-
o, 'S .-catatrophic, as. it
*ithfji. wiity oflIsaEl It
bSSS.)at Ji*s like Rabbi
are barred from worshipping
with us. If we, therefore, de-
sire certain changes, we can
obtain them by fostering re-
spect for authority and main-
ly by ourselves as leaders re-
cognizing the binding power
of authority. Otherwise we
shall have not one Judaism
but a hundred Judaisms, not
one Shulhan Aruch but a
Shulhan Aruch for every sy-
Traditional Judaism as it
was taught in the Seminary
differed from so-called Ortho-
dox Judaism in its attitude
towards research and scienti-
fic truth. There is nothing in
Judaism which it is afraid to
subject to the most searching
examination. "The seal of the
Holy One, blessed be He, is
Truth," and anything false
cannot pass the test of true
Judaism. We challenge anyone
to point out anything false
in our religion, and we are
not afraid of the results of
Real, honest scientific re-
search. In this view, too, we
are not at odds with true Or-
thodoxy. Almost eight hun-
dred years ago, Maimonides
stated that he was not afraid
to subject anything in Juda-
ism to. -the most searching
scrutiny. "If it could be prov-
ed," he stated for example,
"that the world has been eter-
nal, I would accept that view
in spite of the fact that the
Torah specifically states in
the beginning God created.
the heavens and the earth, for
the gates of interpretation are
never closed." Traditional Ju-
daism therefore always
squares its beliefs and prac-
tices with truth. Should any
of them ever be proved false,
it must be repudiated as not
from God, who is the God of
truth. Traditional Judaism
does not, however, believe in
squaring its beliefs with the
"world outlook of the day."
For that outlook may be
false. There is no merit to a
view because it happens to be
the view of the day. The nine-
teenth century produced a
Samson Paphael Hirsch and
a Hafetz Haim, while the first
century produced an Elisha
ben Abuyah, who could have
been the keynote orator at
any Menorah convention. Our
observance of the law is
therefore not conditioned by
our modern world outlook,
which may be false, but is to
be judged by the canons of
truth. Above all, the basis of
our attitude to Judaism is to
be found in the amount of
genuine love we have for the
faith. If I really love my
mother. I will not urge plastic
surgery for her face, I will
love every wrinkle of her wi-
thered countenance. If we
truly love Judaism, we will
not try to throw out this
prayer or that custom, but
will interpret and embellish
each line of the ancient faith.
We will teach our congrega-
tions that it is we who need
reforming rather than Juda-
ism, for the cardinal princi-
ples of the faith are as true
today as when they were first
promulgated. For Judaism is
truth on the march to final

preach the radical doctrines.
I, too, could have thundered
at the cherished traditions of
the faith, secure in the knowl-
edge that no harm can come
to me. People, too, might
have called me brave and dar-
ing, though I fail to see the
bravery or the daring in
preaching a Judaism that pays
so much better than tradition-
al Judaism. If I have preach-
ed and practiced traditional
Judaism, it is because I have
believed it, and I shall cor-
tinue to preach and practice
it because of that faith. If I
did not believe that the laws
of the Sabbath are of divine
origin, I would have consid-
ered myself a criminal if I
urged young men to starve
rather than violate the Sab-
bath, merely because my an-
cestors aped the Babylonians
and adopted their day of rest.
If I believed that the laws of
the Torah are not of divine
origin, I would have been
heartless if I urged men and
\vomen to make every con-
ceivable sacrifice for the ob-
servance of these laws merely
because my oriental ancestors
in a little corner of Asia pro-
mulgated that way of life. To
me that is mere "Shintoism,"
the deification of our dead
ancestral rites. According to
that view, had the prophets of
Baal prevailed at Mt. Carmel,
it would have become our
duty to worship Baal. There
is a marked difference be-
tween our preaching and that
of our Gentile colleagues. The
Protestant clergy does not
preach anything touching the
material comfort of the coii-
gregation and, in asking its
membership to lead the good
Christian life, impose no un-
due hardships. Th esame life
can be preached whether one
is a Fundamentalist or a Mod-
ernist. This is not the case
with Judaism. We are asking
our members to observe laws
which entail sacrifices, we ask
them to abstain from certain
foods, thus causing them a
great deal of hardships: we
ask them to close their shops
on a day when general busi-
ness is at its height; in a
word, we ask them to lead a
life which will always expose
them to the enmity of their
neighbors. I for one feel that
only at the behest of God
could such a demand be made.
Once we conclude that Juda
ism is manmade, there is no
valid reason why the Jew
should make so many sacri-
fices to maintain it outside of
Palestine. As a civilization,
Judaism can have no greater
claim on the American Jew
than German, French and
Italian culture and civilization
have on Germans, Frenchmen
and Italians who have become
American citizens. It would
certainly not be worth dy-
ing for such "a way of life."
I have been asked, "Can
you preach that Judaism to
the young men and women of
today? Wil they accept your
view of Judaism?" Of course
the simplst answer would be
*.. i :."'^'%- ^
that the view of the young
men and women is immaterial
to me. If my view is correct,
what matters it whether it is
palatable or not? If it is the
truth, I must preach it, as I
dare not preach what I do
not believe. But is it true that
the young people do not want
traditional Judaism? If my
observation counts for any-
thing, those who want Juda-
ism at all, want the undilutedl
type. The only group of young
people that has made its re-
ligious yearnings vocal is
Young Israel, and it has come
out unequivocally for tradi-
tional Judaism. As to the so-
called Menorah group. I won-
der if any kind of Judaism
would please them. I for one,
do not propse to put a sign
on Judaism reading "no rea-
sonable offer refused." I do
not care to act as the receiver
in bankruptcy, accepting a
fifty per cent settlement for
all the claims of religion. I
certainly shall not accept the
mandate to create a God pleas
ing to certain elements. M,
God cannot be made to order.
He has existed for eons before
the Menorah philosophers.
Aaron made the mistake of
heeding the cry "make us a
god," and you know what he
produced-a golden calf. It is
about time that we take our
orders from tradition and not
from what we imagine our
members desire. Experience
shouldd teach us the folly of
surrendering our traditions
for the sake of strengthening
oud congregations. For over
forty years some congre-
gations have compromised,
and what has been the result
-they have been preparing
members for Reform Juda-
ism. Ten years ago, for
example, we were told by
one of the leading members
of the Rabbinical Assembly
that we must create centers to
please the young. "If the
young must dance, let them
dance in the synagogue; if
they must play, let them play
in the synagogue; if tney must
swim, let them swim in the
synagogue." Carrying out
this reasoning, if they must
eat on Yom Kippur, let them
cat in the kosher synagogue:
dining room. What hasbeenI
the result of this catering to
the young? They have danced
in the synagogue, they have
played in the synagogue, they
have evenbeen swimming in
the synagogue, but they still
have to pray in the iiynago-
gue. It is aibut time th.lt \t
and not the laymen's commii'-
tee )n ritual decide whether
the prayers are to lie retaiin-
ed or not. It is about time,
that we make it imp_)ossilel
for a imelmbert to say l ii-;,

Since your abs move in more ways than just planks and crunches, they need a variety of exercises to reach their full potential, and not to mention look good in a bikini. So if you want to up your abs game, do these five out-of-the-box exercises to fire up the muscle fibers you didn't know you had. In a couple of weeks, meet six-pack.
The Workout: Complete one set of each of the five exercises below for the time or repetitions noted, in order, without resting between moves. After finishing all of the exercises, rest one minute and repeat for a total of three rounds.
1. Swiss Ball Plank With Feet On Bench
Place a Swiss ball next to an exercise bench. Place your forearms on the ball so that your elbows are directly under your shoulders. Step one foot back onto the bench and then the other. Your feet should be separated about four to six inches apart. Keep your feet flexed, and hold your body in a straight line for 30 seconds. Release down. That's one set. When you return to this move in the next round, hold for 15 more seconds. During the third round, add another 15 seconds for a total of 60 seconds.
2. Hands Free Side Plank
Lie on your left side perpendicular to an exercise bench. Bring both feet together on top of the bench with your right foot on top of the left. Keep your feet flexed, and cross your arms in front of your chest (A). Brace your torso, squeeze your butt muscles, and push into your feet to raise your hips. Rise until you form a straight line from your left shoulder to your ankles (B). Hold it for 10 seconds, and release down. That's one rep; do a total of five, then switch sides.

3. Front Plank With Pull-Down
Position yourself perpendicular to a cable machine with a handle. Get on your hands and knees, and place your elbows under your shoulders. Grab the handle in your right hand, and step back into a plank position. Keeping your elbow bent, allow the handle to move upward until your upper arm is parallel with the floor (A). Pull the handle down until your elbow touches the ground (B). That's one rep; do 15 on each side.

4. Stability Ball Reverse Leg Lifts
Lie face-up so that the middle of your back is centered on a Swiss ball and your feet are on the floor with your knees bent. Reach overhead with both hands to hold your anchor (A). Contract your core muscles, and pull your legs upward until your feet are over your hips (B). Pause for two seconds, then slowly lower your legs back down until they're a few inches off the ground (C). That's one rep; do a total of 15.

5. Slide Out
Get on your hands and knees with your knees under your hips and your hands directly under your shoulders. Put a sliding disc under each hand (A). Bracing your core, slowly slide your hands forward with straight arms as far as you can (B). Use your core to pull your hands back to the starting position. That's one rep; do 15.

Ashifi Gogo Th'09 was awarded $10,000 by the Clinton Global Initiative to develop his anti-counterfeit drug technology venture, Sproxil.
During the Global Initiative's annual meeting in September, Gogo presented an update on Sproxil's progress. The mobile phone-based service enables customers to confirm a medication's authenticity via text messaging. By the end of 2010 the service was available for up to 2.5 million items in Nigeria. "This is a genuinely remarkable accomplishment," former President Bill Clinton remarked after Gogo's presentation, adding that "putting people in charge of their own healthcare" is "empowering." You can watch Gogo's full presentation at sproxil.com. The company also earned the People's Choice Award at the 2010 Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition and an honorable mention at IBM's SmartCamp, which highlights start-ups that are making the planet smarter.
>> With counterfeit drugs making up about 10 percent of the global market, Gogo isn't the only grad developing mobile phone solutions to the problem. Nathan Sigworth '07, who had his first entrepreneurial success as co-inventor of the Gyrobike, the ENGS 21 project that is now for sale commercially (see "A Few of Our Favorite Things"), and his former Dartmouth roommate, Taylor Thompson '08, co-founded PharmaSecure in New Delhi, India. The company announced that the pharmaceutical firm Unichem has bought 70 million PharmaSecure codes to verify the quality of its products. Customers check the code via text messaging. "Putting the codes on the market, having the consumers authenticate, this is all building a very, very valuable network and communications platform with consumers," Sigworth told The Christian Science Monitor in December.
>> Drew Wenzel '08 Th'10 is living at the intersection of technology and business. To get there Wenzel, who now works on green building designs at Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley, needed a solid engineering education and a firm understanding of the business world. He needed a master's in engineering management (M.E.M.), a degree that is gaining popularity among students and employers, the Financial Times reported in an article on the rise of the business-savvy engineer (PDF). "The M.E.M. gives you the ability to speak both languages," Wenzel told the paper. The degree is "for engineering grads who know they don't want to spend their entire careers in design or in a lab," Thayer Dean Joseph J. Helble explained to the Financial Times. "They want to do broader, systems-based engineering by identifying promising new product lines. They want to create a vision for the technology in the broadest business sense." More students than ever are following Wenzel's path: Applications to Thayer's M.E.M. program have doubled in the past five years to more than 250 applications for 50 spots.
>> "Recalling the events on a small Pacific atoll in 1945, I am reminded how camaraderie can spring up in the unlikeliest situations," Sam Florman '46 Th'46 wrote in The New York Times on the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies on September 2, 1945.
Florman described his first engineering experiences after leaving Thayer School. As one of the newly commissioned ensigns in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps, he began the voyage across the Pacific to join one of the Seabee battalions being mustered for an invasion of the Japanese mainland — only to arrive the day before the surrender.
Now it was time to rebuild a country, or at least Truk, an atoll in the Caroline Islands that had served as headquarters for the Japanese fleet and was now a pile of rubble. Florman was put in charge of one of the less imposing projects: building a small earthen dam on a mountain stream for the American military's water supply system. Florman was assigned three Seabees and about two dozen Japanese men and their lieutenant. He recalls how both sides faced off the first day until he ceremoniously unrolled the drawings he had prepared. Soon some were driving stakes while others attacked the earth with shovels and picks. "Within a few days the two groups had settled into an efficient working routine interspersed with episodes of playfulness," he remembers. "The anticipated generation-long era of fear and hatred seemed to have been reduced to mere days." The crew completed the project in several weeks and planned a dedication ceremony — where the Japanese lieutenant presented Florman with a small ceramic statue and a note of friendship. "The Thayer experience was a wonderful preparation for work in the Seabees," Florman, now the chairman of the Kreisler Borg Florman General Construction Co. in Scarsdale, N.Y., tells Dartmouth Engineer. "The hands-on activity — field trips, drafting, surveying, lab work with concrete, metals, water in flumes and pipes — was memorable. Joe Ermenc's thermodynamics classes, which started with a problem on the board every day, were a preparation that stood me in good stead for any theoretical challenges that life was to present."
>> He's done it again: Dallas-based racer and businessman Charles Nearburg '72 Th'74 made history at the Bonneville Salt Flats in his Spirit of Rett streamliner, breaking a 45-year-old land-speed record and also setting the fastest single-engine car record in history with an average speed of 414.5 mph.
On September 21 the Spirit of Rett, named for Nearburg's late son, made back-to-back speed runs under the watchful eye of FIA officials, breaking the 409-mph record set by the Summers Brothers' Goldenrod in 1965. According to FIA rules, the team must make a first run out, service the car in one hour, and then make a return run in the opposite direction. "We didn't realize that an FIA record required you to beat it by 1 percent," Nearburg told BangShift.com. "After finding that out we changed gears, tune-up, and a bunch of stuff just hoping we could make it go that fast."
Ask the Expert
The Expert: Tom Brady '66 Th'68
Should we avoid plastic bottles because of waste and safety concerns?
If you drink soda or use liquid laundry detergent, chances are you've purchased polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles designed and manufactured by one of several companies Tom Brady '66 Th'68 founded and runs, including Plastic Technologies Inc. (PTI), Preform Technologies, and Phoenix Industries International — the largest producer of recycled PET for packaging in this country. With plastic bottles such a ubiquitous part of modern life, Dartmouth Engineer asked Brady, who earned his Ph.D. in plastic materials engineering from the University of Michigan, for his take on recycling and safety.
Here are his views:
PET is the most recyclable packaging plastic. When you recycle most plastics, the molecular chains break apart and become shorter. However, PET has a unique chemistry that allows the shorter chains to grow back together during the recycling process, so you can recycle PET forever if you remove the non-PET contamination. Modern recycling processes accomplish that extremely well.
Today in this country, about 30 percent of the PET used for bottle applications is recycled. Much of that recycled PET (RPET) goes into fiber for clothing and carpet and other items, but increasingly RPET is being used in food packaging, the highest value application.
All plastics are recyclable in principle. PET (#1) and high density polyethylene (HDPE, #2) are the most commonly recycled plastics because they are the most intensively used plastics. The other numbered plastics are used less frequently. The economic feasibility of recycling depends on having a large supply available.
More than half of the RPET in this country is shipped to China. Ships that would otherwise return empty to Asia can offer low shipping rates compared to shipping within the United States. The limited supply of RPET in this country keeps the price of RPET close to virgin PET.
There will always be a market for recycled plastic resins. The world will eventually have to begin reusing all materials when raw materials become increasingly difficult to find and therefore more expensive to use. At some point there's going to be a whole industry around not just waste disposal and recycling, but around reusing all materials as a mined resource.
BPA has nothing to do with PET. BPA (Bisphenol A) is one of the two components you put together chemically to make polycarbonate, a material that's tough and is used to make shatter-resistant products. Polycarbonate has been used in packaging applications that require heat resistance, such as in baby bottles and sports bottles. Studies have shown that BPA can be extracted from polycarbonate plastic articles, and there is some evidence that BPA can act as an estrogen mimicker, so eliminating polycarbonate from food packaging is prudent. Polycarbonate is no longer used in baby bottles and water bottles.

At Cooper, we're quite fond of pair design as a way to get to the highest quality design quickly. (Even if you have to cheat your way there.) Most of our client engagements involve a pair of interaction designers dedicated to projects full time. Over the years, two specific roles have evolved out of this paired practice.
We struggled to come up with descriptive titles for each of the roles. Though the debate was a tough one, we erred on the side of accuracy at some cost of accessibility, and call the roles generator and synthesizer. (We're aware that that makes us sound like machines, but with the quality of design teams are able to produce in this way, maybe that's apt?)
|The generator is the one whose job is to fearlessly generate design ideas; to walk up to the whiteboard or OneNote page, draw some designs, and say, "OK, here's how I'm thinking it will work for the persona." The gen, working with visual design, makes the design solution visual; first with hand drawings, then in illustration software.
|The synthesizer is the one whose job is to insightfully keep challenging, improving, and synthesizing the design into a whole. As the "gen" posits ideas, the "synth" will ask questions, help analyze, improve, and iterate it. The synth describes the behavior in words, incorporating the gen's drawings to create a design specification.
Together they…
|…identify and evolve designs, so that the persona using the system we're designing accomplishes their goals in awesome ways.
Some asides about these distinctions:
- These roles aren't cast in stone. Sometimes when the gen is out of ideas, she might hand the pen to the synth so he can draw what he's thinking, and she'll "synth" him.
- We're experimenting and refining our methods all the time, as with our new integrated product development offering. Not all projects need two interaction designers.
- Our team structures include additional, invaluable members like visual designers, industrial designers, engagement leads, etc. This article is just about the relationship of paired interaction designers.
This is some heady stuff to explain, whether to our parents, at a cocktail party, or interaction designers applying to work with Cooper. For this reason, we often find ourselves employing metaphors to explain the relationship. Since this is usually when the lightbulb goes off, I thought I would share some of the more effective and engaging ones.
Are like gens because…
Are like synths because…
|The pilot drives where the ship is going.
|The navigator makes sure they avoid the dangers and stay on track.
|The metaphor's not quite right because
|On a ship you generally know exactly where you're going. With personas we know who we're designing for, and via scenarios we know the big picture of what it must do. But the design that gets you there is an unknown.
|So you might be more gen if
|So you might be more synth if
|You like driving a design solution.
|You like keeping an eye out for pitfalls.
Not a fan of sci-fi? Maybe a musical metaphor will resonate more.
Recording artists
Are like gens because…
Are like synths because…
|Their main focus is on the present task at hand.
|Their main focus is on the big picture.
|The metaphor's not quite right because
|A gen doesn't document a whole design and then listen to the synth's notes. Pair design is co-creation. Each thinks about detail and context in terms of the other, refining frequently.
|So you might be more gen if
|So you might be more synth if
|You'd rather be in the moment, making the design.
|You'd rather hang back, thinking about the end result.
Not big into the music scene? Though this next reference is getting kind of dated, it was the metaphor presented to me when I first joined Cooper, and it still fits.
Is like a gen because…
Is like a synth because…
|He's got this crazy theory he wants help working through.
|She's open-minded but skeptical, asking hard questions and taking no b.s.
|The metaphor's not quite right because
|Mulder's pretty good about keeping Scully in the dark until something life-threatening or dramatic needs to happen. In pair design, it's important to keep thinking out loud as you create, so the reasoning underneath the design gets surfaced and considered right along with the design itself.
|So you might be more gen if
|So you might be more synth if
|You have big ideas that are so crazy they just might work.
|You like asking the hard questions that keep people thinking.
There are other pair-creative metaphors that are just as informative. We borrowed the term from Agile's pair programming. We hear that most of the Saturday Night Live writers work in pairs. Michael D. Eisner and Aaron R. Cohen wrote all about it from a CEO/COO perspective in their book Working Together: Why Great Partnerships Succeed. In fact, these creative relationships are so common and productive we're wondering if we've tapped into something deeper here.* Know of any others that support or refute the notion?
*Until we uncover that hidden secret to the creative universe, if you're curious about working in this way formally, contact us!

Item #6132
Annual. Known as the Queen of Herbs in India, Tulsi is considered to be sacred. The health-promoting properties of Holy Basil are said to help the body combat stress and other medical concerns. Plants are very fragrant. Make a delicious tea with a spicy clove, fruity, anise-like aroma by steeping the leaves; add the flowers to intensify the flavor. Grow indoor for a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the winter.

Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost, and when soil temperatures are at least 60°F. Basil is very sensitive to frost.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting outside.
Harvesting: Culinary basil is typically harvested before the plant flowers. However, with Holy Basil, you may want to allow the plant to flower so you can add the flowers to your tea and enjoy the stronger flavor. Flavor is best when plant parts are harvested in the morning. Cut a few stems at a time, but never harvest more than 1/3 of the plant if you want it to keep producing. If there is any chance of temperatures dropping to 32°F, harvest crop immediately; basil is very frost sensitive.

"VALENCIA BUS CRASH" - March 21, 2016
http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2016/03 ... ef=HRER3-1
I know - this is just another 'minor media scam' of the sort most Cluesforum readers probably won't care much about... but nonetheless, since I live in Italy (and this media story involves "Italian victims"), I'll share my musings about it with you all - since I honestly still wonder myself about the full meaning / purpose / scope of these 'minor' media PsyOps being thrown at us on a regular basis.
Here's how the (media) story goes:
56 students of 22 different nationalities were travelling on a bus directed to Valencia (Spain) - to experience the world-famous Fallas fireworks festival (which I have personally enjoyed some years ago - pretty awesome, I can tell you!) - which then dramatically crashes at the 333km-mark of the Valencia-Barcelona highway.
By most 'accounts' (i.e. news media reports), the reason for the crash is that the bus driver fell asleep (yet, early "survivor accounts" are in stark conflict with that version). Anyhow, the bus apparently flips on its side and lands on the opposite highway-lane - and then another vehicle smashes into it ("causing most of the casualties").
Reported casualty toll: 13 students ("all between 22 and 25 years of age" - sic), 7 of them Italian female Erasmus students. Here they are :
I don't know about you, dear reader - but as far as I'm concerned, you may truly be forgiven for suspecting that modeling agencies are involved with / and contracted for these lame, recurring media PsyOps. I know - it would probably be inappropriate for me (being a male) to comment on the quite astronomically remote statistical probability of having these 7 exceptionally attractive girls to all die in the same bus crash - but quite frankly, I truly don't care if female forum readers will lambast me for mentioning this little 'male-testosterone-biased' investigative observation. As I see it - the odds of such a 'photogenic' selection of pretty babes dying in the same bus crash is somewhere around the 1-to-1.000.000.000.000.000.000 mark...
Now, let me translate what "Survivor Girl" has to say. She's featured in the below-linked video (being interviewed in her wheelchair).
http://video.gelocal.it/iltirreno/local ... 8355/59608
Here's my integral translation of that brief & bizarre interview of Survivor-Girl ("SG") by some media reporter ("MR") .
Needless to say, Survivor-Girl's story stinks to high heaven. It makes absolutely no sense at all. If a firsthand-witness like "Survivor-Girl" says that the driver was wide-awake (and was pumping up the volume of the radio) - why is ALL of the Italian media rambling on about "the bus driver falling asleep - and that we now ought to legislate to install sleep-alarms in all public transport vehicles?"SG: "...behind the bus driver..."
MR: "You practically ended up on top of him?..."
SG: "Yes, I practically ... threw myself against him...eh! ... but then again there are guys ['ragazzi'] who are worse off than myself - and now they are inside [???] ... but we... well, luck was on our side... molto!"
MR: "Listen, did the bus driver distract himself, by any chance?"
SG: "No, the bus driver wasn't... he was distracted for a second as he raised a tiny bit the volume of the music [i.e. of the hi-fi system of the bus] ... but... it wasn't... I mean it wasn't such an enormous distraction as to have caused this damage... Undoubtedly, the blame should be placed on the driver [of the vehicle] in front of us who braked... without activating the turn signals..."
So why, why - I ask you - do they keep staging these inane, 'minor' media PsyOps all over the world?

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Robert F. Roberts, who has served as interim head of the Penn State Department of Food Science since May 2012, has been named to the post on a permanent basis.
"We're grateful to Bob Roberts for stepping in to guide the department during its period of transition," said Barbara Christ, interim dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences. "In the end, it was apparent that his scholarly achievement, his intimate knowledge of the department's strengths and potential, and his strategic vision give him the leadership traits needed to help maintain and enhance the quality of our food science programs into the future."
Roberts joined the Penn State faculty as an assistant professor of food science in 1991. He was promoted to associate professor in 1998 and achieved the rank of full professor in 2012.
His recent research focuses on the quality of fermented dairy products such as yogurt and sour cream, development of molecular techniques to characterize and enhance survival of probiotic bacteria used in dairy products, and evaluation of the influence of delivery matrix on the clinical efficacy of probiotic bacteria.
Roberts also is active in extension and industry-outreach programming. He is director of the Penn State Ice Cream Short Course -- the oldest, best-known and largest educational program dealing with the science and technology of ice cream. Believed to be the first continuing education course in the United States, the Ice Cream Short Course annually draws participants from many of the world's top manufacturers of frozen desserts.
He also founded and directs the Penn State Cultured Dairy Products Short Course, which provides participants with an overview of basic dairy technology and the manufacture of cultured dairy products, including buttermilk, sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt and cream cheese. He has presented on dairy products processing and dairy microbiology in Australia, China, Germany, Mexico and Ukraine.
Roberts has taught several courses in the Food Science undergraduate major and has supervised numerous master's and doctoral degree students. He received the 2000 Academic Advising Award from the College of Agricultural Sciences Alumni Society and the 2007 Milk Industry Foundation Teaching Award in Dairy Science from the American Dairy Science Association.
A member of several professional organizations, he was president of the American Dairy Science Association from 2011 to 2012 and served on the association's board of directors from 2005 to 2007. He also belongs to the Institute of Food Technologists and the American Society for Microbiology.
Roberts received his bachelor's degree in dairy technology from the University of Vermont, which named him an Outstanding Alumnus of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences in 2008. He earned a master's degree in dairy science from South Dakota State University and a doctorate in food science from the University of Minnesota.
With one of the largest programs of its kind in the country, the Department of Food Science provides research, education and outreach contributing to an abundant supply of affordable, safe, nutritious and appealing food. Research areas include food chemistry, food choice and consumer behavior, food engineering and processing, and microbial food safety.
The department occupies the state-of-the-art Food Science Building, which opened in 2006. Academic home to nearly 50 faculty and staff, and more than 220 undergraduate and 40 graduate students, the building houses laboratories, classrooms, three pilot processing plants and the Penn State Berkey Creamery manufacturing plant and salesroom.
"It's an honor to be chosen as the head of such an internationally respected department," Roberts said. "I am excited to lead this group of high-performing and talented faculty and students, to work with such a dedicated administrative staff and to oversee the Berkey Creamery at Penn State."

BRIGHTON BEACH, N.Y.- Leslie McMillan hears voices wherever she works. They used to be the voices of politicians in Olympia, capital of the state of Washington. Now they're voices with thick Russian accents in this Brooklyn neighborhood (adjacent to Coney Island) where store awnings and windows display names and prices in Cyrillic lettering.
McMillan since 1998 has been director of the Russian Community Life Center, which provides English language and Bible classes to Russian Jewish immigrants. Eight staff members and numerous volunteers make possible weekly classes for 100 students, most of whom are middle-aged; a majority are women. Most heard of the opportunity from leaflets handed them in the street or from ads in the weekly Russian language newspaper. They then walked past a shop selling vitamins and herbs and a liquor store, through a narrow hallway, up a flight of stairs to the second floor, and into a different world.
The center advertises clearly that its English language classes include Bible teaching. Most students say they have never opened a Bible-the former Soviet Union, with its strict atheism, stamped out much of the religious heritage of the Jewish population-but a 30-minute Bible study starts off each class, and McMillan says, "Russian Jews are the most open group of Jews in the world." Some who came as staunch atheists leave as Christian believers.
That's what makes McMillan remain by the Atlantic Ocean, 3,000 miles from the state by the Pacific that she and her husband loved. They were both politically embedded in Olympia when, while attending a conference in 1988, they accidentally ended up in a church service and found themselves responding to an altar call-God taking two self-described "bad heathens" and "radically saving us." Then something that was also strange happened: "God gave me a heart for Jewish people as soon as I started consistently reading the Bible, which was the first day after being saved."
McMillan took Hebrew classes, subscribed to publications concerned with Jewish evangelism, attended conferences, led Israel-oriented activities at her church, and visited Israel twice-all the while unable to explain her interest and wondering, "Why am I doing this?" But in March 1998, almost exactly 10 years after the conference church service, a woman from a Brooklyn ministry to Russian Jews visited Olympia, spent a week with McMillan, and then told her she was needed to direct the Russian Community Life Center.
Within seven months she and her husband, Del, were in Brooklyn: They could make the move because she was 42, but Del was 72 and retired from the staff of the state Senate. They knew no Russian, had never directed a ministry, and had been to the center only once. Nevertheless, after fervent prayer, two garage sales, and a house sale, they made the cross-country drive with a full van, including a dog and a cat. McMillan was on the job in Brighton Beach, the rough and resilient area known as "Little Russia."
Little Russia swelled in the 1980s as Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika policies opened doors for Russian Jews who wanted to leave the former USSR. Around 300,000 by the 1990s had immigrated to the United States with refugee status, most settling in Brooklyn. For the Russian Community Life Center, the opportunity to reach these immigrants with the gospel couldn't be ignored. For years Americans had been barred from entering Russia; now Russia was coming to America.
Among the immigrants were women like Era, a teacher and administrator in Uzbekistan before she moved to Brighton Beach to follow her son who had already settled in Brooklyn. A well-educated atheist and "very opinionated and skeptical," McMillan recalls, Era walked into the center one day looking for classes to sharpen her English. She then came to class week after week with Bible chapter not only read but memorized. She was always ready to argue, until one day she walked into class and said, "Well, I invited Jesus into my heart." Era is now in her 60s and, McMillan says, has "learned to love Him a lot."
Making their way from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, Odessa, and many other cities and towns, the majority of Russian Jewish immigrants like Era are experienced and well-educated. Once in the United States, however, their lack of English skills and the high rent of New York City create a difficult barrier. Regardless of past experience, the top three jobs for women living in the Brighton Beach area are home attendant, live-in babysitter, and housekeeper. Most men work construction, find odd jobs, or serve as drivers. To make ends meet, long and diverse hours are a necessity. Finding the time to study English is difficult: According to McMillan, "Almost everyone is universally depressed for about three years after they get here."
And McMillan herself has sometimes been depressed. A few years ago, she experienced what she describes as a test: "I had been looking at the house, I had some pictures, and I went home and burned them. I said, 'God I give this to You. I've said no. That's it.'" The few photos were snapshots of a newly remodeled home in Olympia, Wash., which from its kitchen window had an unobstructed view of the Washington State Capitol dome.
The house had recently been bought and dedicated as a house of prayer for Christians in Olympia, and the McMillans had been invited to run it. It was an ideal fit for many reasons: They knew the political territory, and they could live for free in a beautiful house to lead a prayer ministry in a community they loved. McMillan thought that perhaps God was saying "Well done" and providing a rest. How could they say no? But they did, out of the firm conviction that God had called them to the Russian Community Life Center, and they could not leave.
A year ago the McMillans traveled to Olympia for their biennnial trip to visit supporters. They went to the prayer house. It was "fabulously gorgeous" and the view of the Capitol dome was as imagined. But they returned to Brooklyn, recently celebrated their 27th anniversary, and plan to stay. The center now rents out its classrooms, chapel, and kitchen to American, Russian, and Messianic congregations as well as to other Christian groups, clubs, and organizations. Leslie McMillan's goal for her center, and her life, is for both to be "24/7/365 Jesus."
