OSLO, Norway — A measure authored by Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) to counter the proliferation and illicit transfer of nuclear weapons today passed an international security panel.
The measure, also supported by Senator Tom Udall (D-NM), calls on the 56 countries of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to more effectively utilize their own parliaments and the OSCE to address nuclear security issues. It also urges member states to increase transparency and root out corruption as part of the global effort to enhance nuclear security.
"As the most recent round of U.N. sanctions have demonstrated, nuclear security is of paramount importance not only to the four OSCE countries bordering Iran, but to countries around the world," said Cardin, chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission). "We need to not only counter production of nuclear materials, but also stem the transfer of nuclear weapon technology. The OSCE must be united in its efforts to enhance the world's nuclear security and hold those who refuse to do so accountable."
Chairman Cardin secured passage of the measure in the third day of the meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly. The resolution will now be considered for inclusion in the Assembly's final document to be known as the Oslo Declaration, which will help set policy for the OSCE in the years ahead. Parliamentarians from the 56 participating OSCE countries will vote on the Declaration on Saturday.
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Women aged 15-49 who gave birth to a child in the 2 years preceding the survey
Source of information
The eligible woman selected for interview
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Literal question
Did you see anyone for antenatal care for this pregnancy? If yes: Whom did you see? Anyone else?
Probe for the type of person seen and circle all answers given.
Interviewer instructions
Antenatal care check-ups help to detect problems associated with pregnancy and delivery. All pregnant women should have routine check-ups. This question refers to any antenatal care received during the pregnancy - a check specifically for the pregnancy and not for other reasons. This is a three-part question. First, ask if she saw anyone for antenatal care for this pregnancy. Then, if the woman answers 'Yes', you must ask whom she saw for the check-up. Finally, ask if she saw more than one person and record all persons seen. If you are unsure how to code a person mentioned, write the words used to describe the person in the space provided 'Other' and circle 'X'. If she saw no one for antenatal checks, circle 'Y' and skip to MN7. Doctors, nurses, midwives and auxiliary nurse midwives are skilled health personnel who have midwifery skills to manage normal deliveries and diagnose or refer obstetric complications. 'Traditional birth attendants' may be trained or untrained. If the woman gives the name of a health facility, ask her to tell you who she saw there.

Out of all of the steps we take every day to achieve healthier, more beautiful skin, cleansing and toning are among the most important. The Caudalie Cleanse and Tone line was developed as the first steps to basic skin care. No matter what skin care regimen you are following, Caudalie Cleanse and Tone products are vital to the success of all subsequent products applied to the skin.
Cleansing is the basic step of removing makeup, dirt, excess oil and impurities from the skin's surface as well as the pores. Without the cleansing process, all of these elements can build up to cause dullness, irritation and even breakouts. The Caudalie Cleanse and Tone line ensures a purification of the skin which is absolutely essential for a healthy complexion. Even though a high quality cleanser is designed to remove all impurities, it is inevitable that a little may be left behind. This is where toners come into play. Toners remove any excess residue from the skin after cleansing and return the skin to its natural pH level where it is better prepared to absorb active ingredients found in moisturizers and treatment products. Caudalie Cleanse and Tone products leave the skin feeling refreshed and ready for the next step.
No treatment product should be used before a thorough cleansing and toning. Caudalie Cleanse and Tone should always be considered the first step in any skin care system. To meet the varying needs of different skin types, Caudalie Cleanse and Tone offers a range of products with different purposes and goals.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir is a very refreshing spray that can be used as a toner to tighten pores, prepare the skin for hydrators and treatment products as well as setting mineral makeup. Caudalie Beauty Elixir contains essential oils that soothe the skin while also relaxing the mind and body. The elixir smells fabulous and can even be used to lightly fragrance clothes and linens. The scent is absolutely natural and does not linger.
The best cleansers are effective yet gentle, avoiding the stripping of the skin's natural oils. Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser does not contain any soap that might dry or irritate. The light foam dissolves oils and impurities while leaving the skin feeling soft and balanced. It is gentle enough to be used twice a day.
Those with dry and/or sensitive skin need to be extra careful when selecting a cleanser. Caudalie Gentle Cleanser is a soft, nourishing cream cleanser that is extra mild and gentle so as not to aggravate complexions that tend to react to product. Added antioxidants help protect the skin against environmental aggressors that can lead to premature aging. The cleanser can be applied with a cotton ball or bad. You can also massage the cleanser directly onto the skin.

Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
From Arab Spring to Coptic Winter:
Sectarian Violence and the Struggle for Democratic Transition in Egypt
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Rep. Christopher H. Smith, Chairman
November 15, 2011
Good afternoon and welcome to this, our second Helsinki Commission hearing on the volatile and dangerous situation facing the Coptic Christians in Egypt following the Arab Spring.
The world watched with great hope and anticipation as events unfolded in Tahrir Square earlier this year. This spring we saw Christians standing guard over Muslims during Friday prayers in the middle of the square. We saw Muslims standing guard over Christians as they celebrated mass in Tahrir.
Sadly, much has changed since then. While many of those who came together to forge the revolution want to continue that solidarity as they support Egypt's political transition, there are those who do not. The transition period has seen increasing violence against Coptic Christians. The current Egyptian government, controlled by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), has not adequately responded to this violence, and has not protected vulnerable Coptic Christians, and, as we have seen on video to our horror, has even committed acts of violence against Coptic protestors.
On Sunday, October 9, 2011, twenty-seven people were killed and more than 300 injured in Maspero when the Egyptian military attacked a peaceful group of Coptic Christians protesting the burning of a church in Aswan and demanding the removal of the governor of Aswan, who had justified the mob's destruction of the church by saying that it had been built without a permit.
In what has been deemed the "Massacre at Maspero," witnesses saw the army fired on the demonstrators with live ammunition and plow into the crowd with armored vehicles. Soldiers raided and stopped the live broadcast of two independent news channels that had been covering the clashes. At the same time, State-run television and radio reported that the Coptic demonstrators had attacked the military and called for "honorable citizens" to "defend the army against attack"—inciting violence against the Coptic minority.
Amid widespread domestic and international outrage over the events, the White House issued a statement on October 10 saying that: "The president is deeply concerned about the violence in Egypt that has led to a tragic loss of life . . . . Now is the time for restraint on all sides so that Egyptians can move forward together to forge a strong and united Egypt."
With all due respect, the President seems to have completely missed the point. This is not a situation of equal power and equal responsibility for violence. This was not a lawless gang clash on the street, or a mob marauding the streets in the absence of a government. The Coptic community was protesting the fact that the Egyptian government in Aswan failed to protect Coptic property and allowed a mob to burn down the Coptic place of worship.
When Copts called on the military government to treat the Copts as equal citizens and protect their rights, the government itself turned on them with a massacre.
The time has come to ask: Is this government going to be better than the Mubarak thug regime?
This same government is investigating itself for the incident. And its assault on human rights continues.
In fact, the military has arrested at least 28 people—mostly Copts—in connection with the clashes, including prominent blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah. These individuals are being hauled before military prosecutors.
To date, despite multiple videos and eyewitness accounts showing the military's use of lethal violence against unarmed protestors, the Egyptian military has yet to take responsibility for its actions, or otherwise demonstrate that it will protect all Egyptians, including the Coptic minority that make up more than 10% of its population.
According to press reports last week, a member of a government-backed fact-finding committee said that the Egyptian army did not use live ammunition to disperse protestors during the October 9 incident.
However, Hafez Abu Saeda, a senior figure in the government-sponsored National Council for Human Rights which set up the committee, also said that an independent investigation was needed to establish the full facts and that some state institutions, including the army, did not cooperate fully with the committee. Rights activists, including the Arab Network for Human Rights Information and Human Rights Watch, have criticized the report for a lack of detail.
Tragically, the Massacre at Maspero is not an isolated incident, but rather a continuation of the endemic discrimination against, and marginalization of, Coptic Christians in Egypt.
According to the 2010 State Department International Religious Freedom Report for Egypt:
The status of respect for religious freedom by the government remained poor, unchanged from the previous year. Christians and members of the Baha'i Faith, which the government does not recognize, face personal and collective discrimination, especially in government employment and their ability to build, renovate, and repair places of worship. The government failed to prosecute perpetrators of violence against Coptic Christians and again failed to redress laws—particularly laws relating to church construction and renovation—and governmental practices, especially government hiring that discriminates against Christians, effectively allowing their discriminatory effects and their modeling effect on society to become further entrenched.
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom has noted that, "In response to sectarian violence, Egyptian authorities typically conduct 'reconciliation' sessions between Muslims and Christians as a means of resolving disputes. In some cases, authorities compel victims to abandon their claims to legal remedy. The failure to prosecute perpetrators fosters a climate of impunity."
A report by the Egyptian Initiative for Human Rights (EIPR) covering the period from January 2008 to January 2010 documented 53 incidents of sectarian violence—about two incidents per month—that took place in 17 of Egypt's 29 governorates. Most of the attacks were by Muslims on Christians and Christian churches or property.
Egypt will not reach its democratic goals through the oppression of its minority peoples; democracy does not come with an iron fist. Rather, democracy springs from the belief that all people are created equal and have the right to participate in their own governance. A legitimate government is of the people, by the people, and for the people—including minorities. A legitimate government respects human rights and submits to the rule of law.
The Egyptians demonstrated this belief in Tahrir Square, but seem to be losing their way—spinning backward into tyrannical abuses of power.
If there is any hope for a democratic and peaceful Egypt, the Copts must be allowed to contribute actively to Egyptian society and to the transformation of their country without fearing for their lives.

Commission to hold briefing on Moldova
(Washington, DC)—Today the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe announced the following briefing:
Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014: Is Moldova Next?
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
12:00 p.m.
Capitol Visitor Center, Room 268, North Congressional Meeting Room
Russia's annexation of Crimea has raised concerns that a scenario whereby Russia annexes Transnistria, Moldova's secessionist region, is a very realistic possibility. Similar to Russia's de facto annexation of Georgia's two secessionist regions and Ukraine's Crimea, Russia's aggression against Moldova would be occurring as citizens of Moldova are considering accession to the major Euro-Atlantic institutions. The Transnistria "Parliament" has called for Russia to annex Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova.
The briefing offers a timely opportunity to examine Russia's intentions with regard to Transnistria and Moldova given President Putin's recent assertion to President Obama that Transnistria remains under an economic blockade and that the residents of the region suffer severe hardships as a result. This was the principal justification advanced by Russia at the OSCE during 2008, shortly before Russia provoked Georgia into military action.
The following panelists are scheduled to participate:
Mr. Thomas O. Melia, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor
Mr. Eugen Carpov, Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova, Minister for Reintegration
Mr. Paul Goble, Specialist on ethnic and religious questions in Eurasia; Editor of "Window on Eurasia"
Dr. Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, American Foreign Policy Council, formerly, Professor of Russian National Security Studies at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College
This event is open to the public. CVC Room 268 is located on the North end of the Capitol Visitor Center. You may enter on the north side, below the East Plaza of the Capitol between Constitution and Independence Avenues (across the street from the Supreme Court). The closest metro stop is Capitol South (orange or blue line).
Please allow adequate time to clear through the security check.

The routine of cleansing the face is not only refreshing, but also vital for maintaining skin health. Cleansing is your opportunity to rid your face of bacteria, excess oil, makeup residue and environmental impurities that contribute to acne breakouts and can lead to skin irritation and sensitivity. Unfortunately, some cleansers on the market only give the illusion of true cleaning, leaving behind microscopic particles that can harbor germs and clog the pores. The PCA SKIN Cleansers collection offers true cleansing, penetrating into the pores and tissue for a fresh, smooth finish.
The products in the PCA SKIN Cleansers line were developed with cutting-edge medical science from PCA SKIN, which has been a leader in medical skin care for more than 20 years. Through breakthrough research, the PCA SKIN Cleansers collection offers additional advantages, such as age-fighting formulas and acne-clearing abilities. By using products from the PCA SKIN Cleansers line, you can be assured that your face is truly clean. The cleansers collection is a key part to any healthy skin regimen to help meet your beauty goals for your skin.
Wash off all of the impurities that can lead to troubled skin with the PCA SKIN Cleansers system. These cleansing products glide on smooth and wash away completely without leaving behind any greasy, pore-clogging film. In addition, the cleansers perform double-duty, addressing a multitude of other common skin concerns.
PCA SKIN Facial Wash is the perfect cleansing solution for those with normal skin. As its gentle cleansing formula removes dirt and debris, the product subtly adjusts the acidity of the skin to change the pH and balance the complexion. Soothing aloe vera contained in the gel also helps eliminate redness and irritation. The blend of ingredients also includes lactic and citric acids to assist with natural exfoliation.
The PCA SKIN Facial Wash Oily Skin formula is similar to the effective original product, but contains ingredients enhanced for those affected by excessive oil. The powerful ingredients in the formula are ideal for those who develop acne in the "T" zone of the forehead, nose and chin. While removing unwanted oil, the facial wash also works within the skin to limit the amount of oil produced, reducing the number of future breakouts.
PCA SKIN BPO 5% Cleanser offers an additional solution for acne-prone skin. The cleanser contains 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, which helps fight acne-causing bacteria. When used daily, the cleanser reduces breakouts and also eliminates blackheads by releasing dirt trapped deep within the pores. The actions of the cleaners are complemented by cucumber fruit extract to sooth irritation.

Sample is not self weighting. Variables constructed for analysis
Recoded variable
Sample weights are added to the files by using the spreadsheet weights.xls and the SPSS programs weights_table.sps, weights.sps and weights_merge.sps. All these files can be found in the data processing sub-folder. The spreadsheet is used to calculate the sample weights. It has two worksheets, calculations and output. The calculations worksheet performs the calculations. The output worksheet contains only the sample weights and a list of cluster numbers; this format is useful for reading the data into SPSS. The program weights_table.sps produces data needed for calculating the sample weights. The program weights_merge.sps adds the appropriate sample weights to the analysis files. The program weights.sps, which you will never directly execute, describes the structure of the data in the output worksheet.

Moisturizers allow skin cells to become more fully balanced. With the use of the suite of Phytomer Moisturizers, you can give your skin the materials it needs to function in the way it is intended. These substances allow the individual cells to become and remain healthy, and for the skin as a whole to operate at all levels. The carefully balanced botanical extracts, minerals and laboratory developed ingredients in Phytomer Moisturizers provide the skin with all the elements it needs to become and remain supple, clear, defended against external stresses and achieve that healthy glow that is your goal.
The outward signs of properly moisturized skin include a smooth, clear surface, elasticity and an even, unblemished appearance. The skin should be untarnished by infection, breakouts or clogged pores and follicles. Phytomer Moisturizers allow skin cells to accept hydration naturally, overcoming the overproduction of lipids or the dry, flaky areas that indicate dehydrated skin. Well-hydrated skin also plumps up to smooth over the small lines and wrinkles that occur over time, particularly in the "expression areas" around the eyes and mouth.
Skin that is out of balance can be oily, blemished, flushed or flaky. These external appearances are caused by skin cells that are not kept at an ideal hydration level. Phytomer Moisturizers are absorbed deep into the skin, to allow the cells to function properly. Healthy skin produces a balanced amount of oils, maintains elasticity and naturally exfoliates dead, useless skin cells so that new, healthy cells can be produced to replace them. Well-hydrated skin is also able to more readily defend itself against surface bacterial infections, rashes and the stresses placed upon it by the environment.
Soothing and refreshing Phytomer Hydracontinue – Instant Moisture Cream contains macadamia nut oil, which is not only an excellent emollient but contains large amounts of vitamin E. Along with caprylic/capric triglyceride, derived from coconut oil, it produces a barrier on the skin's surface to prevent moisture loss. Milk protein, containing lactic acid, stimulates collagen production. For irritated or sensitive skin, or showing symptoms of rosacea, Phytomer Velvety Soothing Cream contains rich shea butter, cold-pressed from the pulp of karite tree nuts of West Africa. Anti-inflammatory extracts from chrysanthemum and Montpelier cistus help soothe sensitive skin that has been subjected to too much distress. Marine botanical extracts also add antibacterial protection to help guard against further irritation. Harsh conditions require strong countermeasures, which Phytomer Rich Thermo-Protective Cream brings with a suite of protective and soothing botanical oils. Along with shea butter, it offers apricot kernel oil, argan oil and sweet almond oil to nourish and calm skin.

Radiation therapy is the use of penetrating beams of high-energy waves to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
There are a few cases in which radiation may be used to treat multiple myeloma:
- If the tumor returns to one site and is causing symptoms.
- If a compression fracture in the spine is pressing against the spinal cord.
- If a bone marrow transplant is to be done—Total body radiation may be given prior to this procedure to eliminate the myeloma cells and prepare the bone marrow for transplantation of the new, healthy stem cells.
Type of Radiation Therapy
External radiation is used to treat multiple myeloma. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Treatments are given at a hospital or radiation center once a day, five days per week. The daily time spent receiving external therapy is short.
Radiation therapy does not cure multiple myeloma, but may be able to decrease symptoms.

Grandmother Edna Kearns hitched a horse to her "Spirit of 1776" wagon and headed to the shore at Long Beach on Long Island. She took two outfits with her: a bathing suit and a white dress with a "Votes for Women" sash. What a crowd on the beach that day, and the group of women made a splash. Edna even got out in the surf to make a "voiceless speech," a tactic of the suffrage movement which fell under the category of the visual rhetoric associated with sophisticated public relations. Take a look at this link. The suffrage campaign wagon again made the NY Times.

Filmmaker Eyal Resh Embraces the Challenge of Telling Israel's Story (VIDEO)
JNS.org – Telling Israel's story. It's the specific title of a short film that Eyal Resh created last year. It's also the theme behind the 27-year-old Israeli filmmaker's broader body of work. The widely viewed "Telling Israel's Story" film—directed by Resh for a gala event hosted by the Times of Israel online news outlet—seemingly begins as a promotional tourism video, but quickly evolves to offer a multilayered perspective. "I want to tell you a story about a special place for me," a young woman whispers […]Read more →

Israel Geeks Out: Science, Art and Tech Event Embodies Jewish State's 'DNA'
JNS.org – The entrance to Jerusalem's Sacher Park was transformed from April 25-27 by a fire-breathing robotic dragon, which flailed its arms and attempted to take flight.

This particular dragon was designed by students from Moscow's Art Industrial Institute in conjunction with the Flacon design factory, said Anatasia Shaminer, a student who helped facilitate the display.

The Syrian Virgin (REVIEW)
The Syrian Virgin, by Zack Love. CreateSpace, 2015. The Syrian Virgin, by Zack Love, is a very interesting novel. Equally a political and romantic thriller, at times a real page-turner, it gets you intimately involved in the dire situation in today's Syria, as well as in the romantic entanglements of its mostly New York-based characters — whose entanglements just might determine the fate of that dire situation in Syria. Along the way it introduces a really important idea that somehow […]Read more →
Unpacking the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and Its Ripple Effect on Israel's Region
JNS.org – Aside from Israel itself, those with a vested interest in the Jewish state are accustomed to tracking developments related to Middle East players such as Iran, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. But much global attention has recently focused on the Caucasus region at the Europe-Asia border, specifically on the suddenly intensified violence between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh area of western Azerbaijan. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, while not taking place in Israel's immediate neighborhood, does have what one scholar called […]Read more →

Basic skin care should include a regular exfoliation with a gentle, non-irritating product. ARCONA Exfoliators are very effective at removing dead skin cells in order to reveal a smooth, polished and radiant complexion. Dead skin cell build up can result in dullness, an uneven skin tone as well as clogged pores and blemishes. ARCONA Exfoliators can help decongest pores, brighten dark spots, soften fine lines and wrinkles and even up the skin tone. Regular exfoliation helps boost the rate of skin cell turnover so that the skin becomes firmer and more elastic.
Many exfoliating products on the market contain harsh abrasives which can cause irritation but ARCONA Exfoliators gently smooth the skin to avoid negative side effects. When the skin is smooth and polished, it is better able to absorb hydrators and active ingredients found in treatment products. Continually eliminating dead skin cells is absolutely vital for healthy and youthful looking skin. ARCONA Exfoliators help improve many skin conditions and can keep problems at bay. Be sure to include the important step of exfoliating in your weekly skin care routine.
Since the skin doesn't end below the chin, there are ARCONA Exfoliators for both the face and body.
ARCONA Raspberry Resurfacing Peel is a non-abrasive exfoliating peel product that contains natural acids to eliminate dead skin cells. The smoothing formula clears up the skin, improves tone and texture and brightens the overall complexion. Sun damaged skin can experience improved radiance with a more even surface. Raspberry and grape seed are used to comfort and calm the skin, preventing irritation and redness. The ARCONA Raspberry Resurfacing Peel can be used by all skin types.
Skin that is normal, combination or oily is best suitable for ARCONA Cranberry Gommage, a decongesting exfoliator that contains salicylic acid to purify pores as well as other ingredients that fight bacteria and clear the complexion of clogging debris. Natural enzymes promote clarity and help maintain a blemish free complexion. ARCONA Cranberry Gommage also comes in a larger size.
For normal and sensitive skin types, ARCONA Golden Grain Gommage is a better choice. This is a very gentle exfoliant that helps the skin maintain proper moisture levels. The gommage uses a combination of non-irritating grains and fruit enzymes. ARCONA Golden Grain Gommage also comes in a larger size.

Warm your family in the rooms they use most with this new energy efficient wall heater. The Energy Plus heater is a smart new solution that knows when the room has reached its desired temperature and automatically adjusts the wattage and fan speed to reduce the energy needed to keep your family comfortable.
The CE heater provides proportional power output, delivering only the heat needed. It will run at a low speed and heat output once the desired room temperature is reached. This lower speed and heat output requires less energy and delivers a quieter performance than standard wall heaters. This precise temperature control equates to better comfort and more energy savings!
Most wall heaters have only one speed: they are either on or off at full power. They also typically use a basic bi-metal thermostat that controls the temperature within a 4-6 degree variance. The CE heater uses a digital thermostat that maintains your set temperature within a 1 degree variance. And, because the unique proportional fan runs at multiple speeds, there are no sharp "on – off" sensations. Once the heater reaches your desired temperature set point it stays there, and works quietly and efficiently to maintain your comfort!
