Imagine walking the very same streets that your parents, grandparents or your great grandparents walked somewhere in Romania, Bucovina or Turkey, where they once lived.
Imagine the sights ... the sounds ... and the smells that must have been there ... before you became a part of this world.
Yes, there was a time when Jewish life compared more like the Sholom Aleichem stories we've all heard. A time when making a living and studying Torah were the only important goals a Jew could hope to (and pray to) achieve.
Romania is a country rich in Jewish heritage. The first Jews arrived as part of the Roman legions (Legion Judaica) that invaded Dacia in 101 A.D. During the Middle Ages, Jewish immigrants began settling in Walachia and Moldova, with ever-increasing numbers arriving after Spain's expulsion of the Jews in 1492. By the early 16th century, their number again increased by immigrants fleeing from Cossack uprisings in Poland and the Ukraine. Located in southeastern Europe, Romania borders the Black Sea and is between Bulgaria and Ukraine. Today, there is a total population of 22.4 million. Romania included the Danubian Principalities of Transylvania, Banat, Maramures, Valahia (Wallachia), Moldova, Bessarabia and Bucovina. Today, all of these regions are in Romania and Moldova, with a portion in southern Ucraina (Ukraine) ROM SIG covers the Moldova and Transylvania areas

Romania began in 1859 with Prince Alexander John Cuza (Alexandru-Ioan Cuza) of
Moldova and Wallachia. As a nation, Romania began on January 24 to February 5, 1862 after the 1856 Congress of Paris declared the end of the
Crimean War and decided that this area was to be independent, but under the
Turkish suzerainty. Bucharest is its capital city. A leading
Israeli expert on the Holocaust in Romania, Jean Ancel, said that of the 760,000
Jews who once lived in Romanian-controlled territories during WW II, 420,000 were massacred. Yad Vashem has published a two-volume book by Ancel on the subject.
There are today, about 6,000
Jews, mainly elderly, still living in Romania with fewer
than 1,000 of them under the age of 35. If you are searching for Bessarabia, Bessarabien, or Moldova, this area is known as Moldova today - a region of today's Romania.
The truth about Romania's western province is that it is one of the most scenic settings in the world. The Borgo Mountains soar, while the Bistrita and Bargaului Valleys dip between them, home to medieval villages nestled among woodlands.

Documentary: The Nobel Peace Prize winner and the world's foremost author on the Holocaust experience takes a haunting journey to his hometown of Sighet, Romania for the first time in 20 years. Mr. Wiesel is made an honorary citizen of his hometown of Sighet, Romania, where he walks through the neighborhood in which he played and studied as a child. Despite mixed feelings, he sees a town unchanged since his deportation to Nazi concentration camps in 1944, except for one significant feature; not a single Jew lives in the entire village. Academy Award winning actor William Hurt reads passages from Mr. Wiesel's renowned writings, including his first and most honored work, "Night," published in 1958.
Added features include interviews of two of the nation's leading authorities on the Holocaust: - Rabbi Marvin Hier, Founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesental Center and its acclaimed Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles Professor Bernard Goldberg, Director of The American Jewish Cultural Studies Program at West Los Angeles College.

This ROM-SIG site contains the names of the shtetls (towns) of Romania including Romania, Moldova and Southwestern Ukraine: Moldova (Moldavia) Transylvania (Transylvania) Valahia (Wallachia) Banat Basarabia (Bessarabia) Bucovina Dobrogea Maramures. For each town, the county (judete), region and country is listed. If you click on the town name, you can get additional information.
The towns, regions and countries included in the town list are the currently designations used. Changes in national boundaries occurred since pre-World War I times. Therefore, a shtetl may have been in one of the countries covered by the ROM-SIG that was in Russia, Hungary, The Ottoman Empire, or Austria in earlier centuries http://www.jewishgen.org/romsig/Shtetls/Romania.htm
Note that Transylvania had one register for all religions denoting religion in a column, whereas Poland and Ukraine have separate registers for each religion.

The entire census, obtained from the Federation of Jewish Communities (FEDROM) in Bucharest by Prof. Ladislau Gyemant for the JewishGen Romania Special Interest Group (ROM-SIG), consists of some 300+ pages containing about 8,200 entries.

Archives (Romanian Archives in Bbucuresti)
It is becoming easier to access records in the Romanian archives, whether in person or by mail. It is no longer necessary to get permission from the National Archives in Bucuresti for permission to enter regional archives. It is recommended, however, that a person write ahead of time to the local archives indicating arrival date and what types of records and family names will be of interest. This will enable the archives to have records available upon arrival.The Rom-SIG website now has a list of locations of Romanian archives that includes addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and, in a few cases, email addresses. It is a PDF file that can be downloaded at http://www.jewishgen.org/romsig/New/Links.html
Scroll down to the heading "Romanian Links." The site also includes a form letter, written in Romanian, for communicating with archives. It also is a PDF file that can be downloaded from the Rom-SIG home page, It is the last entry in the left column.http://www.jewishgen.org/romsig/It is also possible to request records by mail. The recommended procedure is to contact the Romanian embassy in your country and ask how to obtain records. They may direct you to a website where you can a download an application form. One researcher in England claims the cost was £28 (about $55) per record).

Landsmanshaftn and other Romania Societies
A list of over 1380 organizations includes all Landsmanshaftn listed in A Guide to YIVO's Landsmanshaftn Archive by Rosaline Schwartz and Susan Milamed, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, New York, 1986, and Guide to the YIVO Archives, compiled and edited by Fruma Mohrer and Marek Web, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, 1998. The list also includes the additional Landsmanshaftn collections that YIVO has acquired since then that have been catalogued. Several synagogues and other Jewish organizations are also included if their YIVO file contains records pertaining to burials or if they have a cemetery plot in the New York metropolitan area. Indicated on this list is whether or not an organization contains a cemetery plot map, but you may also see Burial Societies in the New York Metropolitan Area for a separate listing of burial societies in YIVO's landsmanshaftn collection that contain one or more plot maps.
The letter "K" is a non-Latin one, but an Anglo-Saxon letter, therefore "deep" Romanian words shouldn't be written with a "K", but with a "C" instead according to Alex Finkelstein. He further states that the same observation is true about the letter "Y". This is a left over from the Austro-Hungarian period.

Struma Tragedy
This is the rickety old ship with 789 Romanian Jewish refugees (all of whom died including 103 children except for one that lived) that was sunk either by a Russian sub or a mine, near Istanbul in the Black Sea on February 23, 1942 (story is in English) http://www.alpas.net/uli/struma/struma_engl.htm
List of victims
The refugees left the port of Constanta, Romania (the last ship to leave Germany carrying refugees who were bound for Palestine) were trying to reach Turkey or Palestine, but didn't have Visas for either country although the fare was to include Visas for Palestine. The boat was in very poor condition and was denied entrance to Istanbul. The boat was being towed away from Turkey and into The Bosporus sea by a tug, since its engine was not working. There were only five survivors and three of those died in turkey. The British government of the day steadfastedly refused them visas to Palestine as illegal entrants of an enemy country. The local Turkish community helped feed the passengers during the 70 days that the ship remained in the port.
The British authorities in Palestine had set tight limits on Jewish immigration. The British transferred the Struma's passengers, along with those of two other boats, to another ship, the Patria, intending to send them to detention in Mauritius. According to a story in the February 2003 issue of Hadassah Magazine, a Haganah bomb, meant to keep the Patriah from leaving for Mauritius, sank the ship.

Capital city. This was the capital of one of the 3 principates (Valahia) prior to 1859. It is believed to have been founded in the late 14th century by a shepherd named Bucur. The city later became a residence of the Walachian princes and the name was changed to Bucharest. In 1859, Wallachia and Moldavia merged and Bucharest became the capital of Romania. It was once known as the "Paris of the East". Its citizens lived it up with glittering parties, grand entertainments, and fashionable lifestyles - befitting the folkloric meaning of its name: City of Joy.http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/regions.html

On the banks of the Prut River, Novoselytsya was first mentioned in a document in 1456, having belonged to the Principality of Moldova until 1812. With the transfer of Bessarabia to the Russian Empire, its eastern half went under Russian rule, while its western half, since 1775, belonged to the Austro-Hungarian province of Bukovina.In 1905, the local train station was inaugurated, along an existing line from the last quarter of the 19th century and which became the main transit point for cattle leather exported to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The station became famous thanks to the famous American journalist John Reed, who started there, in 1915, his trip to Russia in order to witness the Bolshevik Revolution. With the end of World War I, the whole city became part of Romanian territory and, with World War II, of the Soviet Union.In 1930, the city, the second largest in the Romanian province of Hotin and important commercial center, had a population of 5000 inhabitants, of whom about four-fifths were
Jews. The city had several banks, a
Jewish hospital, a synagogue, a post office and telegraph, a commercial high school, a court, two cinemas and an airporthttp://ewigerjude.blogspot.com/2010/12/novoselytsya.html

Located near the city of Iasi. A mass grave, containing the bodies of about 100

Bucharest. It is thought that the pit contains the remains of men, women and children shot in 1941 by troops of the pro-Nazi Romanian regime. Up to 380,000
Jews are believed to have killed in Romanian-controlled territory during WW II. This particular grave was found because of testimonies from local inhabitants who witnessed the kills. Adrian Cioflanca, a Romanian historian, is involved in the dig. It is the second Holocaust-era mass grave discovered in Romania since 1945.

RecordsAccording to a knowledgeable source, there are no Bucovina records in the Romania Archives, but rather there are some in the Ukraine Archives. This statement was challenged by Bruce Reisch in an Email: to me of 10/23/01 in which he states "In my experience, the records to be found in Romania are much more complete than those in the Chernivetskaya oblast.' 'The records for Radauti at both locations are amazingly complete.' 'Birth and death records are available post - 1857 but marriage records are much more spotty.'

City and County
Suceava -
Year built: 1870
It is the NNE of today's Romania, about 25 miles from the Ukrainian border and about 40 miles from the Moldovan border. Suceava, the town, is the head of today's Suceava Judete (country) of Romania formerly the southern part of Bukovina. Bukovina was an independent Crownland in the Austro-Hungarian empire. Its northern part is the Chernivetskaya oblast, in today's Ukraine. It is 221.1 miles N of Bucharesthttp://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/suceava/suceava.htm
Coordinator of Region \ District Studies Group is Jerry Silverbush http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/regions.html
RecordsAccording to a knowledgeable source, there are no Bucovina records in the Romania Archives, but rather there are some in the Ukraine Archives. This statement was challenged by Bruce Reisch in an Email: to me of 10/23/01 in which he states "In my experience, the records to be found in Romania are much more complete than those in the Chernivetskaya oblast.' 'All of the Suceava Judetel Jewish records prior to approx. 1890 are to be found in the regional archive in Suceava.' 'The post ca. 1890 records are in the local town halls.'

Vizhnitzer Klaus Temple,
Sighetul Marmatiei, Maramures Cy -
Year built: 1855
Formerly known as Maramoros Szighet. It was never a part of Galician territory, though its Hasidic leaders emigrated there from Galicia during the latter part of the 19th century. Along with them went many Galician followers.
Jewish population today is 75. Before the war, there were over 15,000. Less than half survived the war and those that did either died off in the last 50 years, or they, or their descendants, move to either Israel, US or other parts of Europe. Eli Wiesel's home in the town is now a museum.
The New York Public Library, Jewish Division, has microfilms of a Yiddish periodical published before WW II in Sighet: "Oyfgang" published between 1933 to 1936 in Yiddish. The Call
No is *ZAN-*P721. Note that the asterisk in the Call No. is a significant character in the NYPL catalog system and predates the widespread use of the Dewey Decimal and US Library of Congress classification systems.http://thedagger.com/archive/romania/jews/
RecordsThe City Hall has a very large collection of "Jewish Records" that go well back into the Austro-Hungarian empire days including Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death records and some real estate transactions. Other records may be found in the county seat in Baia Mare. Much of this information was obtained from a written memo to the Jewish Gen Group by Jack Schraeter Dd.H. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
SynagogueThere is one synagogue today, whereas before 1944, there were 16 temples and synagogues.
Sinaia - Prahova County.
Slanic - Prahova County
Located parallel with Dorohoi and on the Romanian/Moldavian border. This shtetl had few Jews.

Coordinator of Region \ District Studies Group is Joan Baronberg http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/regions.html
There were about 10,000 Jews before WW II. The author Eli Wiesel attests that: "The Jews of Sziget didn't know what awaited them, until the last minute… no one found it necessary to inform us of this… a year after the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, we still did not know a thing concerning the Nazi plan to exterminate European Jewry". And even if it registered on their consciousness in a vague way, it was quickly erased by virtue of the well-known "Jewish optimism". Therefore the Jews preferred going together with their families and with "the community of Israel", and "What will happen to the people of Israel will also happen to the individual named Israel", as is so well-known and familiar, and as many of us experienced ourselves, on our own "skin". http://www.bigmeathammer.com/aushwitz15.htm

Erroll Garner: 7-11 Jump
7-11 Jump
Erroll Garner (piano)
Contrasts (Heritage Jazz/Polygram 515622Z)
Erroll Garner (piano),
Wyatt Ruther (bass), Eugene "Fats" Heard (drums).
Composed by Erroll Garner.
Recorded: Chicago, July 27, 1954
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
This is Erroll Garner at his swinging best. His orchestral approach to the piano is on full display, chorus after chorus. The song's "rhythm changes" form is the perfect vehicle for this extended improvisation. Fats Heard proves a fantastically sympathetic accompanist, never missing an opportunity to provide just the right fill to set up Garner's next move. Garner's use of sequence, balance of repetition and variation, and careful attention to register and dynamics is a study in piano improvisation. Recorded as part of an epic recording session that yielded material for several albums, this track stands out for the sheer amount of music—over seven minutes of Garner at the top of his game.

Fact: I have never subscribed to a magazine.
Fact #2: I have however flipped through the Sassy subscription my sister had when she was 15.
Why have I never had a magazine mailed to me? Because nothing ever changes. You Guys, season after season, fancy runway show after fancy runway show, fashion is recycled from New York to London – Paris to Milan. Originality is dead, and it might not come back for a while. Today, people just put their own spin on what inspires them, and that's pretty much how our universe works. I mean, I'm sure there are other ways our universe works – ways that involve physics, and time and space, and those italicized Xs with the tiny numbers floating around them. But my point is, I never felt the need to waste my money for other people to tell me 1. What looks good on my body, 2. How to know if I'm really in love, or 3. What kind of personality I have.
Why? Because 1. I have a mirror, 2. My knees buckled when I saw him, and 3. I'm an AB: Controlling, neurotic, and competitive, but compassionate, empathetic, and awesome. Basically, I can't be categorized.
Cosmo totally owes me like, $12.95.
What we're talking about today, is learning how to edit your wardrobe. By yourself. That's the key. Understand who you are, and what your fashion vision for yourself is. Most of the edits are easy to understand, but like going on a diet, follow-through can be hard.
Here are a few tips to get you started.
First, Buy the right size. Ladies of the world, seriously, buy the right size. I said it twice because that's how important it is. I know it can be tough – you're going to get smaller, you might get bigger...blah, blah, stop with the excuses! Your closet should not have a size 2 and a size 10. If you're pushing your body that much in either direction, chances are you're a 6. Try it on. Twice if you have to. And if it doesn't fit you, put it back. All this see-sawing with sizes is not good for anyone's psyche.
Next, Get rid of what you don't wear. I would never suggest you toss your clothes, but I will suggest you donate them. Part with what you haven't used by sending stuff to Goodwill, or swing by an outfit like Buffalo Exchange, where you can trade in your old clothes for someone else's. Or, sell your stuff, and then go buy ice cream. The options are endless.
And finally, know what looks good on you. This might mean that you have to bypass this season's hottest trends, but that's okay. Not every trend looks good on all body types, but as long as you have a handful of killer pieces that look amazing on you, and make you feel good then you're headed in the right direction. You, and your newly edited wardrobe.

Sala Radia Perlman

Had to get a shot of this - Radia was my SEED mentor a little while ago - now she's been commemorated in the naming of the press room here at FISL. Kind of appropriate for a pioneer in communications
Had to get a shot of this - Radia was my SEED mentor a little while ago - now she's been commemorated in the naming of the press room here at FISL. Kind of appropriate for a pioneer in communications
One thing I've been meaning to blog about for weeks is my participation in Sun's Engineering Enrichment and Development (SEED) mentoring program. Katy Dickinson runs SEED - she recently posted this compendium of articles - everything you need to know about SEED is there.
Anyway - I hit the jackpot with my mentor - Sun Fellow Dr Radia Perlman. You may know Radia as 'Mother of the Internet', inventor of the Spanning Tree algorithm and author of Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Internetworking Protocols. SEED participants have to select several potential mentors, writing a few sentences about each one. Here is what I wrote about Radia:
I started the current arc of my career in 1997, implementing SSL in Java and contributing to a 'clean room' implementation of JCA/JCE. Radia Perlman has been a familiar name to me since that time, given the security aspects of her work.
Not only does Radia have DEEP technical knowledge, she combines this with a refreshing willingness to speak her mind. When I received a comment on my blog asking about 'Identity Based Encryption', I fired off an email to Sun's internal security mailing list to find out more. Radia gave a detailed and comprehensive reply, with permission to quote her on my blog.
Since security is an essential part of my work, and identity is a key consumer of Radia's work, there is a certain synergy possible in Radia mentoring me.
Our mentoring relationship comprises a phone call every couple of weeks and face-to-face meetings if we ever end up in the same city at the same time. I have to admit, I was pretty intimidated the first time I called Radia - she is not exactly a shrinking violet - but we seemed to hit it off and have spent several hours - well - chatting, basically.
Chatting about her work, my work, career progression at Sun and anything else that's on our minds. I get a lot out of it, I hope Radia does too, and it's fun. And, let's face it, that's about 50% of Sun's unofficial mission statement
After my earlier post on Identity-Based Encryption, I promised James McGovern that I'd ping our security folks for their take on IBE. I did so and Radia Perlman was kind enough to reply and gave me permission to quote her in full:
Identity based encryption.
This is something that some people in the research community have gotten all excited about, and I really think there's nothing there. It might be cute math, and even a cute concept. The hype is that it makes "all the problems of PKI go away".
The basic idea is that you can use your name as your public key. The private key is derived from the public key based on a domain secret, known to a special node called the PKG (private key generator), which is like a KDC, or an NT domain controller.
Some of the problems I see with it:
a) public key stuff is so nice because nobody needs to know your secret, and the trusted party (the CA) need not be online. The PKG obviously needs to be online, and knows everyone's secrets
b) If Alice is in a different trust domain than Bob, she has to somehow securely find out Bob's PKG's public parameters (which enable her to turn Bob's name into a public key IN THAT DOMAIN).
c) Bob has to somehow authenticate to the PKG to get his own private key
d) There is no good answer to revocation, in case someone steals Bob's private key
e) There is no good answer to revocation, in case someone steals the PKG's domain secret.
I've seen hype slides about identity based encryption saying "which identity is easier to remember?
In PKI: 237490798271278094178034612638947182748901728394078971890468193707
In IBE: email@example.com
This is such ill-conceived hype. In PKI no human needs to see an RSA key. The RSA key is not your identity. Your identity is still something like firstname.lastname@example.com
So, it looks like IBE gives with one hand (sender can create a public key without the recipient's involvement) but takes much more away with the other (key secrecy, PKG has to be online, revocation issues). I guess there is no such thing as a free lunch...

RIPON, Wis. — When considering new business ventures, savvy entrepreneurs look to the profitability of Laundromats and find that vended laundry stores in the United States see an average return on investment of 25-30%. But how does a store owner jump-start that success and then ensure it continues for years to come?
Prior to opening a store, there are several factors that a new investor should consider to better equip themselves for long-term success. This process starts with the initial building and furnishing of the store and transitions through to ongoing marketing efforts and, most importantly, customer service and appreciation.
The hardest part of owning a Laundromat is getting started, which is why choosing the correct partner is crucial. Working with a manufacturer that provides in-house financing, runs demographic analysis to choose an appropriate location, and offers smart advice regarding equipment mix and store design can help to remove the initial stress of store start-up. These early decisions also play an important role in the long-term success of the Laundromat.
Perhaps the most important thing to consider when making the initial investment is selecting reliable equipment. Start by investing in commercial-quality equipment that is known for its superior product design and is built by a manufacturer with extensive experience in commercial laundry. The equipment mix should be discussed and determined with the help of a knowledgeable distributor based on store size and customer demographics.
Investing in an industry-leading control system can help store owners. These systems allow an owner to adjust pricing by time of day and to identify equipment inefficiencies, helping to reduce utility costs, increase revenue and maximize profitability.
Many store owners choose to invest in Laundromats because the business does not demand constant on-site presence. Installing an advanced control system with wireless networking enhances this freedom. These control systems allow owners to program, monitor, audit and diagnose equipment from an Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world. Additionally, the audit data may offer in-depth store and revenue reports to optimize financial performance, helping to ensure continued store profitability.
Check back Thursday for the conclusion!

Mosques, Gavin Boby, and Sam Solomon
Posted on January 14, 2013 by Eeyore
Gavin is coming to speak in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto soon. I have republished part of the 'Act for Canada' press release once already but will do so a few times more before the events begin.
One of the most important questions that should be asked by anyone, people on the side of the preservation of liberal democracy for example, (hopefully all of us at Vlad) is,
'Why should we stop the construction of mosques'?
While Gavin answers this well in his Australian speech, I thought this might be a good time to republish one of my first interviews. June 2010 with Sam Solomon in Ottawa right before he spoke at the International Free Press Society/Free Thinking Films event with Bat Ye'or and David G Littman (RIP)
Here, Sam Solomon, once a well respected sharia legislator in the Islamic world, clearly explains what a mosque is, and what it is not.
Once again, from ACT for CANADA:
Gavin Boby is a British lawyer who specializes in town planning law. He runs The Law and Freedom Foundation, dedicated to preserving a lawful society that protects freedom. Their first project is a legal effort to assist community groups, on a pro-bono basis, if they are faced with inappropriate planning applications for more mosques in their neighborhood. They focus on legal procedure but also on the nature of Islamic doctrine and as a result have won 16 out of 17 cases.
The National Post just disclosed that a Canadian Security Intelligence Service's (CSIS) report stated that "a large number of venues" that are used by Sunni "Islamist extremists" are "radicalizing Canadians" across Canada. In this Canadian context Gavin Boby's message is even more relevant.
The Muslim Brotherhood, operating in Canada, just purchased a 10,000 square foot building in a Montreal neighborhood. On record, this will be the 4th real estate acquisition in a very short time span. Last fall, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) was also involved with the establishment of a new Mosque in Quebec City that also needed rezoning. In Edmonton, the Lessard community countered the establishment of a MAC run school in their neighborhood for fear of radicalization. Again, several zoning laws have already been transgressed by the local MAC- run Mosque and in several new Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood linked Mosques that have been built. In Ottawa, MAC is also administering several venues, one of which is the Abraar school that made international headlines because "two teachers (…) who praised a pupil's essay about killing Jews with hand grenades" were suspended.
Why should we be concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada?
The former Chair in Islamic Studies at the University of Alberta described how the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood "hoped to change the status of the Mosque, bringing it from a static place of worship to a center of Islamic revolution. "(pp. 76-77)
Youssef Qaradawi unconditionally endorsed by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada describes the role of the Mosque in these words: "To guide public policy of a Nation, raise awareness of critical issues and reveal its enemies. From ancient times the Mosque has had a role in urging Jihad for the sake of Allah."
If Canadians don't give their head a shake it will be too late!!! Mosque after Mosque being erected and Canadians stand by and do nothing!!! What did our ancestors fight and die for in the wars? They did not fight for third world dictators to enter Canada and change the freedoms they fought and died for!!! What is wrong with the Canadian government and the Canadian people to say enough is enough and stop this NOW? We do not need mosques in this great country!! Tell them to build in countries where they will be accepted!!!!
Usually when guys like this come to speak the truth about the nature of Islam, jack-booted thugs show up (in the name of "anti-fascism") to shut them up.
It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

In the presence of an aging population, public health priorities need to evolve. As the populations gets older, the already existing pathologies have become commonplace with specific geriatric clinical syndromes like frailty, mobility disability, or cognitive impairment, among others. Sarcopenia is a good example for which geriatricians, neurologists, physiologists, nutritionists and epidemiologists need to find a consensual definition and diagnostic tool as well as guidelines for the management of clinical trials and possible treatments. The Carla Sarcopenia Task Force, which met in the south of France (Toulouse) for an expert consensus meeting called "Les Entretiens du Carla", have addressed a series of existing issues to place Sarcopenia into a nosological context: a definition which should be a composite of a change in muscle mass and a change in strength/function depending on either a progressive and chronic wasting process or an acute onset of loss of muscle mass; a recommendation for DXA and the Short Physical Performance Battery as a clinical pragmatic approach of Sarcopenia; a differentiated approach for clinical studies according to prevention or treatment objectives and depending on the sub-groups and target populations; and finally, a summary of therapeutic strategies currently recommended. The aim of "Les Entretiens du Carla", based on an expert meeting panel, was to address a series of unsolved issues in the field of Sarcopenia by combining the expert opinion with a revision of the existing literature on the topic. Through this report, the reader will appreciate the determination to find conclusions on the various issues and further studies to be developed to determine the best multidisciplinary approach needed.

Welcome To Lam Aviation
With the first major change in aircraft aileron design since the original implementation of the aileron, Lam Aviation is offering the industry an innovative approach to new wing design. The Lam Aileron provides new wing variable geometries that offer multiple benefits including:
- Decrease in fuel consumption
- Increase in useful load
- Improved cruise performance
- Improved flight handling characteristics
To learn more about the company's unique origins and better understand how the Lam Aileron works, watch the Lam Aileron video.
Greg Cole, Windward Performance
"We believe that the Lam Aileron system will be the next evolutionary step in aircraft lateral control and high-lift device configurations. It couples the functions of high-speed ailerons with powerful, low-speed lateral control, while improving the maximum lift coefficient of the wing by 16%. This has heretofore been a battle for aircraft designers. The Lam Aileron may also offer improved low-speed stall departure resistance. This system has application in small General Aviation aircraft and STOL bush planes, as well as larger aircraft such as business jets and even large transport category aircraft."

I know that the answer is 42/3 = 14 points, or in general for a circle with N points it is N/3, but I don't know why it actually works.
Why is the number of equilateral triangles for a circle with N points simply N/3? What happens when N is not divisible by 3?

an excerpt of a startup script looks like this:
test "$ENABLED" != "0" || exit 0
The problem is, no matter if Enabled is set to 0 or 1, the script always exits at that line. I looked up "man test" and as far as I understand it, test will always evaluate the expression and then exit(!!) with the return code? Is this correct. So This script will, at this line, always exit no matter what the value of the variable is? (so its buggy).
thanks!! jens
