Skip to comments.Boys do better than girls when taught under traditional reading methods (phonics)
Posted on 03/31/2010 5:08:44 AM PDT by reaganaut1
Boys can learn to beat girls at reading if they are given old-fashioned teaching methods, claim psychologists.
The use of more traditional phonetics-based lessons helps boys catch up with girls - even doing better on some tests - and prevents some children from needing 'special' schooling, according to new research findings.
A study of synthetic phonics also found children from disadvantaged backgrounds do as well as those from better off homes.
The research, presented at the British Psychological Society's annual conference in York, has underpinned changes being made in the nation's classrooms.
They have been introduced after damning revelations that four in 10 children have failed to master the three Rs by the time they leave primary school.
There has also been concern about the growing gender divide in achievement, starting in primary schools.
Under the synthetic phonics system, children are taught the sounds that make up words rather than guess at entire words from pictures and story context.
Rhona Johnston, a professor of psychology at Hull University, and Dr Joyce Watson of St Andrews University, studied the results from 300 children originally given training using synthetic phonics when they were five.
The progress of the group at primary schools in Clackmannanshire was compared with 237 children using the more usual analytic phonics approach.
Boys taught using synthetic phonics were able to read words significantly better than girls at the age of seven, with all pupils ahead of the standard for their age.
Boys were 20 months ahead while girls were 14 months more advanced than expected.
At the end of the study, boys' reading comprehension was as good as that of the girls, but their word reading and spelling was better.

Phonics has always been a superior way to learn. There is no substitute.
Some feminist/socialists probably realized this many years ago, and this was likely the reason that phonics was dropped. To give girls an advantage, cripple the boys.
Why wouldn't teaching children how our alphabet works, work better than reducing words to pictograms that have to be guessed at and learned by sight?
Duh. These geniuses never cease to amaze me. It's as if the entire educational establishment has been thrown over to gender war zealots.
Well, come to think of it, it has.
It's because they're disadvantaged.
It's because they're poor.
It's because they're minority.
It's because they're not well represented on mainstream TV.
It's because they're oppressed.
It's because they're hungry and need school lunches and breakfasts.
It's because they're without a computer.
It's because they're unmotivated.
... or something along those lines.
Whole word learning must not effect girls but it's a disaster for boys. My son was unable to read in the third grade because of that and it took years to overcome the bad effects.
And this is why those who "know better" have tried really hard to not teach it.
I know they are not using it in my 2nd graders school, and he is a year behind the others in reading. We have to resort to after school teaching to help him.
And Oh my God, you would not believe the math curriculum
Math Education: An Inconvenient Truth
My second graders school district has adopted the Everyday Mathematics program shown in this video. It is as bad as the lady is saying, even at the second grade level. My wife and I have a very difficult time helping him with the homework, because quite frankly this crap is hard to understand. All those old algorithms you grew up with, are not taught. They are replaced by alternative ways of finding the answer, that may work fine for math geeks who are proficient already in the old ways but tossing away the old tried and true way and replacing it is a mistake in monstrous proportions.
It is onlt going to get worse for your second grader. My grandkid was taught global warming and jungle deforestation in Math class.
Hope your grandchild is getting the right teaching at home to counter that.
Here is a feel good about today's youth story...I got my 8 year old a transistor radio on Monday and you think he used it to play pop music? Nope, he tuned in conservative talk radio, just like Dad. I even asked him if he wanted to listen to a music station, and he said no. One of those great moments in a Dad's life. But it got better. At bed time a radio station plays old-time radio and he was listening to Charlie McCarthy as he went to bed, and laughing his head off at all the punchlines. Normally I would tell him to turn the radio off and go to sleep, but I said what the heck - enjoy
Of course I showed my kid the old-fashioned way to do it, and told him he'd understand why the method they were trying to teach him worked when he was in high school, but he'd never use it.
Girls are affected, too. My daughter was an indifferent reader and never read for pleasure until she took a phonics class.
Yes! It is called social justice math. I am not kidding; I was at a conference in Washington D.C. this past August and the phrase social justice math was used several times.
When I was young the Tucson school system was facing, "why Johnnie can't read" stories, this was the late 40's. They had done away with phonics so my folks sent me to a tutor so I could learn phonics. Can't say how much I appreciated it over the years.
There is NO group with better reason to begin a Class Action Suit than the PARENTS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN. For over a hundred years American education taught the children of immigrants English, Math, Geography, History (world & US) grammar and even how to (gasp) SPELL correctly.
These children, from the 1800's to the mid 50's were the children of newcomers who could not speak English, people who were the "Tired, huddled masses, yearning to be free". These children were the true children of poverty, children of people who had to work 50 to 60 hours per week to survive, children who each year saw a classmate die from a disease that today is prevented by a shot in the butt.
When I (born 1934) was in school, the death of a classmate, sometime during the year was, tragically expected. Today, two busloads of "counselors" descend on the school within hours.
In the latter 40's new children came to school. Many had no parents, many had funny numbers tatooed on their arm, some had no idea what country they really came from.
And the OLD METHODS, proven by generations that built the "once" greatest country in the world taught them.
Today monies that would simply stun old time educators are wasted to teach children who cannot read their own diplomas, cannot find their own country on a world map, or their home states on a blank map of the USA.
In the holy name of the "NEW" our education system proudly proclaims that "ONLY" a large percentage of our children will not learn.
Who would fly an airline that advertised that ONLY 24% of their planes crashed last month?
Who would go (voluntarily) to a hospital that boasted that ONLY 32% of their patients died during surgery?
The teachers of my youth, many "elderly" people of 35 and 40, TAUGHT, and by heaven you learned.
Is it true that students get drowsy trying to read the whole language way? It must be exhausting. Someone once told me that since the word is basically considered a picture and the shape of it is memorized, it goes to the wrong side of the brain. How confusing is that?
Crazy math and reading programs do a lot of damage. I can see why kids act up in school. They are being driven crazy.
"It is called social justice math."
I learn something new here every day.
I'm not sure about the drowsy part, but I agree with what I saw posted on another thread some time go that phonics is better suited to languages like English because our letters represent sounds. A character based language like Chinese would require a different approach.
I had phonics when I was going through grade school (early 80s plaid covered books). My wife didn't and she went through grade school in the late 80s. As a result she has more trouble spelling words while I do fairly well.
It does make a difference. When we have kids, we're likely to home school and phonics will definitely be part of our curriculum.
Dick, Jane and Sally was the best Reader ever devised. But they were White, so they had to go.
Maybe that's why the schools went away from phonics - as another aspect of the war on boys and men.
Learning to read opens the door to gathering information besides that which the left wants to spoon feed our children.
Let's see, our school systems do away with phonics, cut recess, and cut any competitive sports. They the educators write articles about how superior girls do in school.
You get drowsy when you get bored. Anyone would get bored performing a task in an artificially slow and difficult manner.
I still have my 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade readers with Dick and Jane and Sally
Maybe it has more to do with different types of learners, too.
I have twin girls who were subjected to the whole word method during their early years.
The one who was an abstract learner did okay, while the one who was a logical learner continued to have problems for a few years.
Boys tend to be logical learners too, so it would affect boys more.
I finally got my daughter back on track by investing in a set of McGuffy Readers.
You know...those pesky phonics books that was used in America for a hundred odd years before we became 'progressive'. [yak!]
A Nation that cannot read and comprehend is easily controlled. Thanks Chicago, Columbia Univ,and all those PROGRESSIVE educators who designed this monstrosity.
Dick and Jane was a sight reading method, not phonics.
McGuffy Readers were phonics based.
I started first grade (1961) with Dick, Jane, and Sally readers. The series used the "See and Say" method that superceded phonics but I can remember my teacher using phonics as a supplement for the class to ensure that nobody was left behind. I recall doing small group reading out loud where a student that struggled with a word was coached through a "sound it out" process that was phonics-based. Generally, I believe that most students became functional readers unless held back by IQ.
BTW, my first grade class was a combined 1st and 2d grade group so the teacher had to have excellent skills in order to manage a mixed group with multiple reading levels. She did groups by reading level rather than grade level so slow 2d graders could catch up and fast 1st graders wouldn't get bored.
Imagine how effective teaching phonetics would be if English spellings were actually consistently phonetic, as they are in some languages. Still, it gives a child a starting point, at least - something to build upon as they move forward.
"The "new approaches" to math computation are a complete joke. About a dozen years ago I was at a 5th grade open house, and the math teacher, for some reason, was proudly showing the way they taught division. If you know algebra, you could see that conceptually what they were doing was breaking down the division algorithm for regular numbers the same way you would for synthetic division of polynomials"
I watched the video and I can sort of see what the creators of those math curricula are trying to get at. Learning algorithms to do calculations is not the same thing as learning mathematics. However, they're trying, as you say, to use algebraic concepts like the distributive and associative properties to do basic calculations, without the students likely having any understanding of these concepts - and I doubt that any but a very few students are likely to infer these concepts on their own in any sort of useful way. Looks like the sort of mush-headed approach to teaching we've come to expect from the graduates of schools of education, unfounded in any real understanding of the subject matter, or how children may actually learn.
But to repeat my original point, learning to do multi-digit multiplication or long division doesn't really teach you anything about mathematics per se. It's a somewhat useful skill to have though, so that you can do simple calculations with pen and paper without needing an electronic aid, reasonably efficiently. Of course, at one time (before calculators) a reasonably educated student would have been expected to learn how to calculate square roots with pen and paper in a reasonably efficient manner, too. How many people do that anymore?
"Dick, Jane and Sally was the best Reader ever devised."
If I recall correctly, the Dick and Jane books were actually part of a "look-say" whole language reading curriculum.
"It does make a difference. When we have kids, were likely to home school and phonics will definitely be part of our curriculum."
PHONICS is the only way to go! My daughter, who is almost three years younger than her brother, was jealous that her 1st grade brother was learning to read books and she could not read.
She demanded that I teach her to read. I taught her to read through phonics when she was three. By the time she got to kindergarten, she was reading at grade levels that shocked her kindergarten teacher. My five year old was "tutoring" her classmates. She was confused as to why her friends couldn't sound out the words.
On the flip side, this extrememly smart child came home with a note in the fifth or sixth grade (my memory fails me on the exact school year) that said she was FLUNKING math. Fortunately, she had an older teacher who really cared and tested her and investigated the situation. Turns out that my daughter and many many other classmates were all flunking math. This fabulous teacher helped me determine the cause. Massachusetts had recently begun their MCAS test. Their teachers in the 3rd and 4th grades were not teaching the multiplication tables to the children because multiplication wasn't on the test. They were only "teaching to the test". We all know that the times tables are the foundation of all math!
I am proud to report that after I tutored her for several weeks she mastered her math class. She is a high school senior graduating as a member of the high honor roll. She is heading to college to study nursing in the fall.
Unfortunately, the older teacher is retired now and the teachers union in town wants more and more of my money....
good luck with your future children. My advice is that parents need to be very proactive in teaching their children.
I'm sorry to hear the educational establishment victimized girls as well. I assumed that because this method so specifically is against the learning style of boys that at least it might be useful for girls.
To get my son reading, I used a method that was recommended on a home schooler TV show. He read out loud from a book with either no pictures or pictures you can cover over. What a struggle but over a few months he went from a kid who couldn't read a whole sentence without serious errors to a kid who got most of the words right. I really had the sense that that "whole word" produced a kind of learning disability.
Thanks for the encouragement. My wife has been working with various materials already (she teaches 5th grade) and her school definitely puts the emphasis on the basics.
It reminds me a lot of my grade school years in Catholic school: phonics, spelling, vocabulary, multiplication tables, writing, memorization and recitation of poetry, diagramming sentences. All of these things are important for a solid foundation.
The practice of sending kids to the blackboard to do problems and having spelling bees in class are rites of passage that I remember fondly. I recall it was a little frightening to have to do a math problem in front of everyone or to have to recite a spelling word that you weren't certain of but looking back I'm glad I had the experience.
Even in college my logic professor (definitely old school) sent us to the blackboard to demonstrate Venn diagrams and proofs. I got the same adrenaline rush then too. :)
Exactly! This is what socialism is all about anyways.
Which is why they have the standard features. Big pictures, small vocabulary.
Yeah instead of being only about 92 percent phonetic. Huge difference there. The exceptions are blown well out of proportion.
You think the purpose is to help them become independent? Hardly. There's no money in it for the government.
Yes, but keep in mind that the non-phonics teaching methods disadvantaged both boys and girls: in both sexes, those who had less phonics, had lower literacy skills.
It's just that the boys were disadvantaged even more.
All this makes one wonder if there are education wonks out there who actually prefer subliteracy for both sexes and all ages.
Most would. They aren't getting paid according to their performance.
It's just like Harrison Bergeron. To make everyone equal you have to tie down the strong.
Because the alphabet is phonetic. It's designed that way. ANY other method of "learning to read" a language with a phonetic alphabet is doomed to mediocrity or outright failure, because it's ignoring the design of the system.
A pox on "look-say" and the marxist freaks who inflicted it on too many children.
Modern English is not a "pure" language, and never has been. It is a combination of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Old French, Anglo-Saxon, Old English, Gaelic, Spanish, German, Hindi Japanese, Chinese, Korean, various African languages, various American aboriginal languages, and more that I don't want to bother thinking of.
It will only continue to grow.
You are correct. The stories repeat the words over and over so the children can memorize them. No reason not to let your beginning readers have them as long as they are sounding out and not using sight words though.
If children are taught not only the letter sounds but letter combination sounds (ex. "ai" says /A/) along with rules (that we may not use at the end of English words), they would encounter alot less "exceptions" than is believed.
Whole word is bad affects girls too. Those 'taught' by whole word become readers despite the method not because of it.
Of interest to homeschoolers
The purpose of government schools is to produce half-educated (at best), compliant drones for factory work and tax-paying. Non-phonics reading methods are part of the overall project of government schooling. Non-phonics reading methods have been adopted BECAUSE they don't work.
I was actually somewhat incorrect. Even in its earliest forms, the "Dick and Jane" readers, while based on a whole-language concept, included some phonics. Later on, like the ones I was taught with in the early 70s (probably written in the 60s), even more phonetics was mixed in. Which makes sense, because while phonics are certainly very useful when learning to read, normal reading is mostly sight-based.
I have a friend at work who is Hungarian. He has explained to me how Hungarian spellings are pretty much consistently phonetic, so that not only can you tell how a word is to be pronounced from reading it, but if you have heard a word you can generally make a pretty safe guess at its spelling. Foreign words imported to the language get added to the language using Hungarian phonetics. This has its obvious good points, while the downside is that the linkage to the original word's spelling is lost. Certainly such a system makes learning to read and write easier.
While English spellings are largely phonetic, there are typically multiple letter groups that represent the same phonemes, so that while figuring out pronunciation from spelling is mostly not too bad (other than the exceptions), the reverse is quite a bit more difficult.

Theories of War and Peace by Michael E. Brown
Book DescriptionWhat causes war? How can wars be prevented? Scholars and policymakers have sought the answers to these questions for centuries. Although wars continue to occur, recent scholarship has made progress toward developing more sophisticated and perhaps more useful theories on the causes and prevention of war. This volume includes essays by leading scholars on contemporary approaches to understanding war and peace.The essays include expositions, analyses, and critiques of some of the more prominent and enduring explanations of war. Several authors discuss realist theories of war, which focus on the distribution of power and the potential for offensive war. Others examine the prominent hypothesis that the spread of democracy will usher in an era of peace. In light of the apparent increase in nationalism and ethnic conflict, several authors present hypotheses on how nationalism causes war and how such wars can be controlled. Contributors also engage in a vigorous debate on whether international institutions can promote peace. In a section on war and peace in the changing international system, several authors consider whether rising levels of international economic independence and environmental scarcity will influence the likelihood of war.

Each year we find ourselves turning the pages of the calendar more quickly, and what packed pages they are. Here at Masa Israel we have had yet another amazing year of programming and events, both in Israel and across the globe. Now in our 13th year, we've surpassed 120,000 alumni, and have begun a number of great new initiatives.
On February 21st we hosted a back-to-campus fair for our Gap Year participants bringing representatives from Israel Advocacy and Jewish campus organizations to show participants the many opportunities available to them when they return from their year in Israel.
On 26 February over 100 Masa participants, alumni, organizers, and staff participated in the annual Samsung Tel Aviv Marathon as part of the first ever #Team Masa.
In March, 40 of our Yeshiva students went on the first Masa L'Maaseh, a four day journey , cosponsored by Yeshiva University and WZO, to explore Israel's ever-changing landscape as they visited places and met people that are driving a positive change in Israeli society, while enjoying an exciting group experience with participants from many different Jewish Studies programs.
This May 5,000 participants and Masa partners mourned Israel's fallen soldiers and victims of terror together at our impactful Yom HaZikaron (Memorial Day) Ceremony at Latrun, the largest English language ceremony in Israel.
May 30th over 200 post-college & academic participants gathered at JVP Media Quarter in Jerusalem for a night of professional development sessions with top Israeli professionals, followed by a networking cocktail hour with top Israeli companies.
With a dozen performers, authors and artists, from legendary author Amos Oz, to Ethiopian hip hop sensation Café Shahor Hazak, 1,000 participants took an inside look at Israeli Culture.
From Brazil to Berlin, the UK to Ukraine, our global team of Regional Masa Representatives have spoken to tens of thousands of potential participants at their events and fairs throughout the world.
In partnership with the Genesis Philanthropy Group, Masa takes thousands of Russian-speaking participants on 5 day journeys to explore Israel and Jewish peoplehood and identity through experiencing land, history, and people.
This summer part of our Masa Ambassador's team set up shop in popular Taglit spots Kfar Hanokdim and Han Hashayarot to share with over 750 Taglit-Birthright groups how they can get back to Israel.
Focusing on building capacity in the field, our educational department implemented a series of day-long seminars for our program organizers. The curriculum focuses on pedagogical principles, skill building, current trends and issues in the field of education, and best practices for identity building in emerging adults.
Over 3,000 Masa participants gathered in Jerusalem for our annual My Masa event to kick-off our 2016-2017 year of programs. Word on the street is that this was one of the best events yet!
With a class of 18, this October marked the beginning of our new English Teaching Certificate Program for MITF participants in partnership with Israel's Ministry of Education and Levinsky College.
People are talking about Masa and The Forward decided they want to as well. This year we officially began a partnership with their new lifestyle section, Scribe. Check out 2 articles by Masa participants here and here.
Our alumni delegation networked with GA goers, and helped spread the word about Masa at our awesome expo booth. We also held an inspiring meeting with Natan Sharansky and a very well-attended (and fun!) joint VIP reception with Onward Israel.
This November our Masa-GLI Leadership Accelerator put on another successful Masa-GLI Global Leadership Summit, in Jerusalem, with generous support from the Wilf Family Foundation. We are particularly proud of the growth of the exposure tracks which allow participants to take their training into the field. Here are this year's tracks:
This November our Director of Business Development International, Adi Barel, and Director iof business Development North America, Adi Hila, hosted career development professionals from North American Universities for a week in Israel, taking them to visit various professional development programs, and immerse themselves in the Israeli start-up ecosystem.

This year, like every year since I was a child, I started counting down the days to Hanukkah before the first blow of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. I just can't wait for the one week when it's socially acceptable – and dare I say expected – to eat fried foods every day. Most Americans crave the smells of pine trees and gingerbread — I crave the smells of latkes and jelly-filled donuts
In recent years, especially after meeting my Sephardic husband and participating in a Masa Israel program, I've come to learn there's much more to Hanukkah than latkes and donuts. For example, we included rice in this year's Pesach meal (which in my book is a total win #AshkenaziProbs) and during Sukkot we ate pumpkin-filled samsas (the Bukharian version of Samosas).
If you've ever been in Israel during Hanukkah, then you know every bakery window from the North to the South are filled with more flavors of sufganiyot (doughnuts) then one can imagine. But you probably didn't realize Jews around the world also eat these delicious treats during Hanukkah:
Keftes De Prasa
Wikimedia Commons
Keftes are any form of fried vegetables or other ingredients (ie: croquets, patties, pancakes, fritters) in Sephardic cuisine. Keftes de prasa are fried leek patties - Imagine a latke, but swap the potatoes for leeks - traditionally eaten on Hanukkah. For a Syrian twist on the keftes de prasa, sauté the leeks in spices like allspice and cinnamon.
Recipe Here
Buñelos (also known as bimuelo, birmuelo, bermuelo, burmuelo, bonuelo or bunyol), are fried balls of dough finished off with a sweet topping, like orange or anise glaze. Originating in Spain, these sweet treats can also be found in South American, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. From Egypt to Ecuador, Sephardic Jews traditionally eat buñelos on Hanukkah, while their Christian and Muslim neighbors eat them on Christmas and Ramadan.
Sfenj is the Arabic word for sponge and perfectly describes these yeast doughnuts that Jews of North African descent eat on Hanukkah. Finish off these bad boys by covering them in sugar, soaking them in honey, or sprinkling them with orange zest.
Alessandra Rovati
Cassola is popular amongst Italian Jews during Hanukkah and is more or less known as the unofficial Christmas dessert of Italy. However, let it be known the Jews invented this baked ricotta cheesecake, which over time turned into large sweet ricotta pancakes.
Pasta Latkes
That's right, pasta latkes are a thing.. A gift from the Romanian Jewish community, substitute fine egg pasta for potatoes, fry until golden, and voila!
Kibbet Yatkeen
Kibbet Yatkeen are the Syrian community's version of latkes. These bad boys are made with pumpkin and bulgur instead of potatoes. If you get your hands on them, be careful they may come with a kick!
Frittelle di Riso Par Hanukkah
The Italians dominate the Hanukkah food game with another decadent dessert. Frittelle di Riso par Hanukkah, otherwise known as Italian Rice Fritters, are a sweet alternative to the savory latke.
Gulab Jamun
Gulab Jamun, you probably can't pronounce this decadent treat, and that's okay. Gulab jamun, pronounced more or less like goo-lab-ja-mon is commonly eaten by Jews of Indian decent during Hanukkah. Gulab Jamon is a dairy-based sweet made of milk solids that are formed into a dough, rolled into balls, fried and then soaked in a sugary syrup. Is your mouth watering yet?
Whether you're looking for sweet or savory, members of the tribe around the world have plenty of tasty alternatives to your usual Chanukah nosh. Now, you just have to decide where to start.

Masa, the public-service organisation founded by the Prime Minister's Office of the Government of Israel together with The Jewish Agency, has a myriad of projects offering South Africans the opportunity to spend some time in Israel. Gap year programmes, study abroad programmes, yeshiva programmes. But Masa also provides the opportunity for a stint at major high tech companies and exciting start-ups, doing real and amazing work. The Israel internship programme (which in SA falls under the Israel Centre's JHB umbrella) gives budding professionals "hands-on opportunities" to work with some of the world's most cutting-edge companies across Israel. It's a chance "to spend a meaningful time in Israel", not as a tourist or a kibbutznik, not as an out-of-pocket traveller trying to fund the next excursion, but rather to experience Israel like a real Israeli, as a professional, going to work each day, experiencing the after work leisure-time activities Israel has to offer, meeting friends, going out to eat, before doing it all again the next day – repeat. Might sound dreary, and like real-life has come knocking a little too soon, but when you think about the potential for that everyday grindstone to involve working as a newly qualified-but-green go-getter in the start-up nation of the world for an international high tech company or an on the pulse financial trading floor, I bet that endlessly repetitive groundhog day is looking up.
Ofer Gutman, Director of Marketing and Sales at Masa, calls it "The Journey", an experience "beyond the bus". You experience the business-side of living in Israel: the ups and the downs, the late for work, and even the kudos from the boss. But you experience all this in a position that you probably wouldn't have gotten in the first five years of your career elsewhere, in the Jewish homeland, with the support and help that Masa offers you. And the progress they make gets attention both in Israel and back at home, wherever that may be, as the programme is being offered all over the Jewish world. "Living and working in a start-up nation, you are viewed as being one of the team – not someone just there to give the bad or menial tasks to," explains participant Sam Kapp from New York, who wanted to explore Israeli society while gaining work experience. He's getting an inside look at what it takes to build a successful start-up, working at a biotechnology software company in the heart of Tel Aviv. At present, he finds himself working on the technology to make a glowing plant (by combining the genome of a firefly with that of a plant) – "cool stuff", he says, and while it might sound off-the-wall, only in Israel could one actually conceive of having this type of experience, in real life, fresh out-of-school. "They asked me what I want to get out of this (experience)," he explains, "and I told them I wanted to see how a start-up is run, and what you needed to do to build a successful company." So, because he wanted an overview, he is interning at a company in marketing, getting a taste of just what goes on behind the scenes in every element of what makes a successful, exciting company tick, being "inspired every day by [his] colleagues' passion for their work". Who even knows, it might just be the next thing sold to some big international high-tech for billions.
Another participant, Jonathan Gerari from Denmark, with his Masters in Finance, chose to work at JP Commodities, a small commodities firm in Tel Aviv. There, he enjoys a lot of responsibility and can also get some insight into what actually goes on in every aspect of the business, which is why he has found the experience so enjoyable. He says, "It would take me five years to get this far in Denmark to achieve the same level of responsibility." He was going to go home at the end of the internship, but he realised that in Israel, through this experience, he is learning more than he ever would elsewhere, which will enable him to hone his skills early in his career after which he hopes to become a specialist in his field. In addition to his internship, Jonathan has made close friends with other people who are abroad with Masa Israel Journey. This has made his experience "valuable and unforgettable" – an experience that "keeps surprising me". Living in Israel and going to work every day with people who all have the "common goal of living and having a great time," he says, "is living my life way above expectations."
And it is slowly catching on with South Africans as a foot in the door to the international business world, which we might otherwise have been left out of. "It's good for your CV, and you can work in a place you wouldn't have been accepted to otherwise without having previous working experience," says Tanya Izaki, Israel Programmes Coordinator at the Israel Centre JHB. Even though the internships are not paid, they are offered the opportunity to gain a lot of hands-on work experience, advance their career, and to live abroad. It is expensive, but once you're over 21 you get an automatic $3000 scholarship from Masa, regardless of your financial situation, unique to this internship programme and which, depending on your financial situation, could be even higher. But still, the final cost could be about $2000-3000, plus your air ticket and spending money – which is no small sum, but the doors that it opens and the experience that it offers has blown the old work-and-travel London experience out of the water, and has given new graduates a reason to excel at what they do so they can find themselves miles ahead of the counterparts they leave behind. Tarryn Snoyman from Johannesburg wanted to do the Israel Teaching Fellows programme (the only programme that is almost fully-subsidised and even reimburses the air ticket) because she wanted to be exposed to a different teaching environment other than in South Africa. Sh describes it as both a stimulating and positively challenging experience for her. "I have enjoyed the personal and professional growth of the journey. Not only has this experience been focused on teaching English but I have been privileged enough to have been involved in many other initiatives that Masa offers, including a global leadership summit, a leadership shabbaton, and being part of the World Zionist Organisation fellowship track, all of which fostered personal and professional development though skills-based training." Living in Israel, specifically Be'er Sheva which is one of Israel's fastest growing cities with a large, vibrant student population, Tarryn has enjoyed the social and cultural scenes, which offer many opportunities for anyone to get involved in, from student events and initiatives to enjoying a buzzing, melting-pot of cultures, nightlife, and joining the Ben Gurion University's international club.
The programmes run from five months up to a year, and many of the interns land their dream job and stay on to achieve greater things. And if you don't find what you are looking for in the internships that they offer, there is always the opportunity to customise an internship in your field, helping you to find the perfect opportunity just for you. It's a no-brainer, and just might be the key you were looking for to unlock the potential to be part of the next billion-dollar success story that Israel is so famous for producing.

Yes, BRRR. The weather is cold outside and as you kindle the Hanukkah flames and spin that dreidel, warm yourself up and imagine you're under the Tel Aviv sun, soaking up the rays on one of these beaches.
…Because seriously, where else would you rather be?
1. Banana Beach
Located on the southernmost edge near Jaffa this beach is home to Friday night drum circles, hula hooping-bikini wearing girls, endless games of Matkot and sunbather after sunbather. Think of it as a Bohemian paradise right next to Tel Aviv.
2. Gordon Beach, Frishman Beach, Bograshov Beach
Welcome to beach-mania. These three beaches offer endless white sand, beautiful people and the perfect dose of sunshine. Located right in the center of Tel Aviv these beaches offer a great getaway with tons of bars and restaurants. Each beach is the perfect place to catch the addicting Tel Aviv sunset plus, there's a Ben & Jerry's ice-cream stand at Gordon Beach. #YUM
3. Trumpeldor Beach
Walking down the beach in Tel Aviv you'll spot an unusual statue and you know you've arrived at Trumpeldor Beach. This is a quieter beach amongst its neighbors since there are no facilities or lifeguards.
4. Jerusalem Beach
Formerly known as Geula Beach, Jerusalem Beach is located right off Allenby Street and near the very well-known Opera Tower building. You'll find falafel shops and bodegas everywhere, so don't worry about packing snacks for the day. It's not touristy and is the perfect spot to meet all your friends for a relaxing beach day.
5. Tel Baruch Beach
Tel Baruch Beach may be one of Israel's cleanest beaches. Fully equipped with green lawns, outdoor workout area, and seaside café it's the perfect escape from a long week of classes or a big night out.
6. Metzitzim Beach
If you wake up early enough on a Friday or Saturday morning, take a stroll down Namal Tel Aviv, and grab a coffee while you check out Metzitzim Beach. It's more family oriented but offers three volleyball courts and an outdoor workout area. If that's not your thing, however, keep walking north and you'll catch twenty-something Israelis sipping Goldstar and hanging out.
7. The Surfer's Beach at the Hilton Hof HaGolshim
Besides beautiful people watching all day long check out The Surfer's Beach and prepare to be amazed at the skill, the surf, and the boys. It's a hot spot to kayak or learn how to paddle board too!
8. Coral Reef Beach(Red Sea):
Okay, so this beach isn't in Tel Aviv but it's a sun worshipper's paradise. You can go from sand to snorkel to world-class resort within minutes. The best part? There's a good chance your Masa program already has a trip to Eilat planned. #GetReady

By Jon Sender, Case Western Reserve University
There are nights when I like to walk from my dorm to the art museum and stand in contemplation on the promenade. That's been my reflection spot for several years, and each time I return, I consider how much I've changed since the last.
Recently, I've been thinking about how I've grown since standing there before studying abroad in Israel, before navigating a culture close to my heart, and before understanding that outside of this continent, people in other countries live their lives quite differently and offer much to learn from. The answer? I've grown far more than I thought possible.
But study abroad doesn't begin as a catalyst for personal growth; for me, it merely turned into one in hindsight, as I imagine holds true for many things that force you to take risks, deal with challenges, and expand your worldview. Originally, it was just an opportunity to take advantage of. As for choosing Israel as my destination, the choice was clear because it was the sole place that would allow me to hone my Hebrew language skills, gain exposure to foreign entrepreneurship (it is the "start-up nation," after all), and understand a culture intertwined with my heritage and religion. When I later learned that an opportunity to study in Jerusalem could be subsidized with scholarships from Case Western Reserve University, Masa Israel Journey (in collaboration with The Jewish Agency for Israel and the Government of Israel), and the Hebrew University, my decision was made.
Masa Israel Journey participant Jon Sender on the promenade of Hebrew University overlooking the old city of Jerusalem.
There are three main ways Israel has changed me, and I imagine they're the same ways studying abroad will change anyone: I've learned how to solve problems I have not prepared for, network with people I have not planned to meet, and be receptive to ways of life I have not considered. These same three developments are also the reasons why I now feel as if my understanding of society has splintered apart, and why I am inspired to further discover myself. It's simply impossible to leave and come back home the same person. Here's why:
1) Taking a deep dive into a foreign language – though I realize not everyone does this while studying abroad – has taught me to become more patient, particularly with respect to international students here on campus. Taking classes in Hebrew helped me put myself in the shoes of non-native English speakers here. When professors zipped through slides that weren't in English, and spoke in Hebrew, and used mathematical words I had never even learned in English, there was only so much I could absorb. Though I scurried to take notes and keep up, I realized later I was truly absorbing so much more than that day's lesson. I was learning about day-to-day life in Israel because I was part of it, living it in the most immersive, transformative way possible.
2) Interning abroad at OurCrowd, an Israeli venture capital firm, and participating in networking events in Israel made me a better self-presenter. If you're at home and you meet someone from Singapore, they immediately become an object of fascination with a story to share. But when you're the one traveling and you bump into hundreds of entrepreneurs and investors at a conference, it doesn't take long to mold an elevator pitch through practice. Moreover, that skill comes in handy when crafting conversations with people on the bus, in the supermarket, and even during job interviews.
3) Experiencing another culture overturned my perspective of the world and showed me just how much I could learn from watching other people go about their lives. Living with four, mature Israeli guys who completed world tours after their army service imparted upon me the value of international experiences and raised the significance of my time in Israel. Being invited for a meal every time I met a stranger showed me how to be a better host and taught me to balance planning with flexibility, despite spontaneity not falling within the nature of my personality.
When you study abroad, you learn the world is both simpler and more complex than you thought. You discover that Israel is much more than a representation of Jews and Arabs, that your time should really be spent on things important to you, and that there is no decent reason why you can't break with a societal pattern or construct.
And when you question how these discoveries have impacted your life and you return to your reflection spot like I do with the art museum, you begin to see that studying abroad is but another step to becoming both a citizen of the world and the person you are ultimately meant to be. Six months in Israel taught me that, but don't take my word for it; go out and have your own adventure.
The worst that can happen is you'll home a little less certain and a lot more mature.
Jon Sender is a senior majoring in finance with a minor in computer science, who is a student advisor at the Office of Education Abroad. He studied overseas in Israel through Masa Israel Journey this past spring. He shares his tips about preparing for studying abroad at his blog, Plane2Plane.wordpress.com.

Balthus by Mieke Bal
Book DescriptionThis title features dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted art related media & organisations. Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (1908-2001) was one of the most acclaimed and influential artists of the 20th century. In his formative years his art was sponsored by, among others, Henri Matisse, and later he was much admired by Picasso. His father was a noted art historian and the family were part of the cultural elite of Paris. Visitors included writers such as Gide and Cocteau, who found inspiration for his novel Les Enfants Terribles (1929) on visits to the family. In 1921 "Mitsou", a book which included 40 drawings by Balthus, was published. The story of a young boy and his cat it presaged his life-long fascination with cats. His subsequent paintings frequently depicted young girls in voyeuristic poses, one of the most notorious being The Guitar Lesson (1934), which caused controversy due to its explicit depiction of a girl arched on her back over the lap of her female teacher. This highly illustrated volume is a visual and narrative survey of the Balthus' body of work together with numerous interviews with the artist himself.

Doris Salcedo, a Colombian-born artist, addresses the politics of memory and forgetting in work that embraces fraught situations in dangerous places. This title leads us into intimate encounters with Salcedo's art, encouraging us to consider each work as a 'theoretical object' that invites certain kinds of considerations about history and grief.

Infamous drug now promises cancer breakthrough
MAXINE MCKEW: To matters back home now, for the better part of 30 years cancer specialists have battled for the elusive magic bullet - the agent that defeats the typically rapacious tumour.
Most, particularly brain tumours, are of course fatal.
But in January, Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital started a trial based on the clinical equivalent of lateral thinking - changing the patient's chemistry so malignant tumours remain dormant.
And the agent of choice is an anti-nausea drug with an infamous history.
Justin Murphy reports.
NATALIE BURTON: I have a grade three astro-cytoma or glyoma which is a malignant brain tumour.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Natalie Burton is 29, a veterinary surgeon. For two years she has battled the cancer inside her head.
Over the next 12 months 3,000 new brain tumours will be diagnosed in Australia. Half of them will be inoperable.
PROFESSOR MICHAEL MORGAN: Brain tumour is one of the most devastating of the killers in that many of the people change personality, have major, major changes in their quality of life and it can deeply affect families very quickly and it is a very - it can be a very rapid and devastating illness for people.
DR HELEN WHEELER: We've needed a really big breakthrough for the last 10 to 15 years.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Or even longer. For decades medical science has tried to defeat the so-called solid tumour, the growth that invades and swells parasitically in the body.
Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy - nothing yet has decisively beaten the tumour.
Natalie, with multiple operations, has been through it all.
Surgery wasn't going to help really any more?
NATALIE BURTON: Really three surgeries is unusual. I can't have any more radiotherapy either and the other chemo drugs weren't working, so yeah.
JUSTIN MURPHY: The drug that is promising to work, though it is very early days, is the drug with the bad name, the bad history.
Thalidomide is doing to some tumours what it did to the limbs of the unborn, shrinking the blood vessels that feed the tumour with nutrients and oxygen.
Tumours are starting to shrink.
DR HELEN WHEELER: This is a completely new way of looking at cancer treatment and the fact that we're seeing some responses by attacking cancer from a different direction - rather than the traditional chemotherapy radiotherapy - is a great breakthrough for cancer treatment in general.
Natalie joined the Thalidomide trial at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital only three months ago but so far so good.
NATALIE BURTON: It's great. It's actually decreased in size, so the Thalidomide has kept it - the idea is to keep it at a size to stop it from growing.
JUSTIN MURPHY: So Thalidomide has actually shrunk your cancer?
NATALIE BURTON: Yes.
JUSTIN MURPHY: The doctors at Royal North Shore know that cruelly it is still a lottery.
Not everybody will respond by any means, but some of the progress has been remarkable.
DR TIM HARRINGTON: The white lump here, this irregular area of white on this darker background, that is the lump and the area around it is normal brain, not normal brain, it's swollen brain.
These pictures over here are following treatment and I think you can see that the white lump is no longer visible, except for small areas such as this and this.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Is this a dramatic improvement?
DR TIM HARRINGTON: This is a marked improvement. A very dramatic improvement.
I still think there is some disease there but it is a marked improvement, a very good result.
JUSTIN MURPHY: It is now essential that Thalidomide is tested and trialled rigorously for several months. That costs money and as always that is a problem.
Is your funding for this study in any sense protected, guaranteed, or is it the typical situation?
DR HELEN WHEELER: It is the typical research situation.
JUSTIN MURPHY: You stagger from grant to grant?
DR HELEN WHEELER: We stagger from grant to grant and it's certainly become more expensive than we expected.
I think we initially budgeted on $30,000 and it's got up to $90,000. So I'm not sure.
JUSTIN MURPHY: This is particularly because of the number of people who have joined your program?
DR HELEN WHEELER: Yes, because of the number of people we've taken on.
Understandably there is a bit of a stampede. There certainly was at the beginning.
ANDREW OLLE: Have a great festive season, thank you and goodbye.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Andrew Ollie died three years ago at Royal North Shore Hospital of a brain tumour.
Now the Andrew Ollie Memorial Trust is raising money from the public for neurological research particularly into brain tumours. Such money is vital.
Raising every dollar is critical?
PROFESSOR MICHAEL MORGAN: Absolutely, absolutely.
Raising dollars for research into neuro sciences is very, very important in advancing the studies there.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Because it is a very expensive field of science?
PROFESSOR MICHAEL MORGAN: Oh, yes, yes, extremely so. Without the funding it comes to a halt.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Has your quality of life improved?
NATALIE BURTON: Uh...yes..it's...certainly my outlook has improved.
As the tumour shrinks, things are looking brighter and long-term plans and so forth are easier.
JUSTIN MURPHY: Is there a prognosis as to...
NATALIE BURTON: I don't...yeah, it's too soon.
But I'm not going off it in a hurry!

Sailing Bones
Sailing Bones
Suffering I drifted to you
Seeing my suffering you suffered
Our conference on calamity
Our joints moved against wind
Sustained our growing pain
Until protruding bones
From our rumpled skin coats
Broke through to expose
Their staid, stagnant structures
To a cat we were dual cat castles
A bird perched upon my clavicle
To a friend traveling by
We no longer existed
But our suffering did

Picacho Peak Trail is a 2.8 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Santa Fe, New Mexico that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from March until October.
kid friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
Great views of the city and surrounding mountains
This is an easy/moderate trail that has two entry points. You can traverse over from Atalaya for a nice big day of hiking. I really love the 360 views. It's a great trail for snowshoes/yak traks in the winter.
Lovely hike with beautiful panoramic view at the top. Moderate in difficulty. I enjoyed the views and wildflowers along the way as well.
I've run both little Picacho and big Picacho several times. I like this trail because there is a decent amount of shade at all times of the day. I run with my dog and usually encounter a handful of people every time I go out, but not ever so many that the trail feels busy.
It takes me about 45 minutes to do little Picacho if I come down the longer way (a hard right after coming back down from little Picacho) and about an hour and 10 min. to run Big Picacho doing an out and back and not opting to add the little extra distance.
The trail has a lot of switchbacks and gets rocky as you near big Picacho, but it is not a difficult hiking trail. There are great options for adding distance by connecting to other points in the Dale Ball trails.
I usually park in the lot near the intersection of Cerro Gordo and Upper Canyon Rd. If you pass through both green gates to the right, cross the stream, and immediately go up and across upper canyon road,
You will see a wood post with the Dale Ball trail marker.
There are wonderful views in all directions as you near the top, very rewarding trail!
Beautiful scenic hike with meandering switchbacks and a nice 1100+ ascent over about 2 miles, summiting at 8570. Gorgeous vistas of the valley below and distant peaks. Can continue another mile or so to hit Atalay mountain or shoot off other trails along the way. I would rate this as a moderately strenuous hike, however.
Good trail, great hike. Moderate to a bit strenuous for me. Kept a good pace up and got in a good workout. May take it easier next time and enjoy the experience a bit more. View from the top is definitely worth the hike. NOT a waste of a few hours. Will be putting this on my list of favorites.
Am I really the first person to notice the complete misspelling of the name of this peak by All Trails? It's Picacho Peak, not Picheco! I live in Santa Fe, have climbed it many times and I drive on Picacho Street in my neighborhood.
As for the hiking, instead of climbing Picacho from the parking lot on Upper Canyon Road, you can park at the trailhead lot on Camino Cruz Blanca and follow the Atalaya Hill trail to the top of Atalaya Mountain and then continue on to the north to Picacho Peak. Then you can follow the trail that leads down from Picacho back to the trailhead lot on Camino Cruz Blanca. I think it's about eight miles total. I strongly recommend doing this with someone who is familiar with the loop because there are a couple of places where the signage isn't clear, but once you have it down, it's the best close-in hike in Santa Fe, in my opinion.
Quick, pretty hike with great views and a well-marked trail
This is a great little trail to take if you have a half day to kill in the Santa Fe area. You'll find lots of great veiws.
This is really an awesome trail to have right on the edge of town. Depending on your pace the climb to the top is 45 minutes or more. The switchbacks on the way up over look Santa Fe and the Jemez and the view from the top over look the above plus the Santa Fe Watershed is beautiful There are three alternative routes down form the top of Peakacho.
The first (continuing in the direction you were walking upon arriving over the peak and down the front) comes out at the Audubon Society. While you should not take dogs through this property they are allowed on the rest of the Peakacho Peak trail as it is part of the Dale Ball system.
The second is to walk back to the T where you turned left to make the 5+ minute accent to the peak and head in the other direction, which takes you to Atalaya.
The third is a right turn on the path to Atalaya that circles around towards Wilderness Gate and back to Upper Canyon.
Was not spectacular, about average
NO DOGS ALLOWED!! This is a bird watching trail.

Extract from CJ Help see below
EPC (Average Earnings Per One Hundred Clicks) is a relative rating that illustrates the ability to convert clicks into commissions. The calculation is made by taking the sum of all commissions earned for 7 days and divide by the sum of all clicks for the same 7 days and multiply this by 100. If today's date = N, the date range used is N-8 to N-2.

Seems something must be very wrong. To go from a high of +125 on August 8th, to a negative number a month later, that merchant is either getting ready to bail, or has a serious tracking problem.

Background: Elbow range of motion for functional tasks has been previously studied. Motion arcs necessary to complete contemporary tasks such as using a keyboard or cellular telephone have not been studied and could have implications on what is considered to be a functional arc of motion for these tasks. The purpose of this study was to determine elbow range of motion, including flexion-extension, pronation-supination, and varus-valgus angulation, with use of three-dimensional optical tracking technology for several previously described positional and functional tasks along with various contemporary tasks.
Methods: Twenty-five patients performed six positional and eleven functional tasks (both historical and contemporary). Elbow flexion-extension, varus-valgus, and forearm rotation (pronation and supination) ranges of motion were measured.
Results: Positional tasks required a minimum (mean and standard deviation) of 27° ± 7° of flexion and a maximum of 149° ± 5° of flexion. Forearm rotation ranged from 20.0° ± 18° of pronation to 104° ± 10° of supination. Varus and valgus angulations ranged between 2° ± 5° of varus to 9° ± 5° of valgus. For functional tasks, the maximum flexion arc was 130° ± 7°, with a minimum value recorded as 23° ± 6° and a maximum value recorded as 142° ± 3°. All of these were for the cellular telephone task. The maximum pronation-supination arc (103° ± 34°) was found with using a fork. Maximum pronation was found with typing on a keyboard (65° ± 8°). Maximum supination was found with opening a door (77° ± 13°). Maximum varus-valgus arc of motion was 11° ± 4°. Minimum valgus (0° ± 6°) was found with cutting with a knife, while maximum valgus (13° ± 6°) was found with opening a door.
Conclusions: Functional elbow range of motion necessary for activities of daily living may be greater than previously reported. Contemporary tasks, such as using a computer mouse and keyboard, appear to require greater pronation than other tasks, and using a cellular telephone usually requires greater flexion than other tasks.
Investigation performed at Shriners Hospitals for Children, Salt Lake City, and the Department of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah

Philip Hammond, the defence secretary, emerged as the favourite to become the new foreign secretary last night after the surprise departure of William Hague.
Mr Hammond, regarded as a safe pair of hands in the Cabinet who has worked for the World Bank, said last year that he would vote for Britain to leave the EU if new membership terms could not be reached with Brussels.
Should he be confirmed in the post today, his appointment will be seen as a boost to the Eurosceptic wing of the party.
However, Mr Hammond has also faced embarrassment over foreign policy questions

Kohut, Loewald and the Postmoderns by Judith Guss Teicholz
Book DescriptionIn Kohut, Loewald, and the Postmoderns, Judith Teicholz, using the contemporary critique of Kohut and Loewald as a touchstone of inquiry into the current status of psychoanalysis, focuses on a select group of postmodern theorists whose recent writings comprise a questioning subtext to Kohut's and Loewald's ideas. Acutely aware of the important differences among these theorists, Teicholz nonetheless believes that their respective contributions, which present psychoanalysis as an interactive process in which the analyst's own subjectivity plays a constitutive role in the joint construction of meanings, achieve shared significance as a postmodern critique of Kohut and Loewald. She is especially concerned with the relationship - both theoretically and technically -between Kohut's emphasis on the analyst's empathic resonance with the analysand's viewpoint and affect, and the postmodern theorists' shared insistence on the expression of the analyst's own subjectivity in the treatment situation. Her analysis incorporates fine insight into the tensions and ambiguities in Kohut and Loewald, whose work ultimately emerges as a way station between modern and postmodern viewpoints, and her appreciation of Kohut and Loewald as transitional theorists makes for an admirably even-handed exposition. She emphasizes throughout the various ways in which Kohut and Loewald gave nascent expression to postmodern attitudes, but she is no less appreciative of the originality of postmodern theorists, who address genuine lacunae in the thought and writings of these exemplars of an earlier generation. Teicholz's examination of what she terms two overlapping "partial revolutions" in psychoanalysis - that of Kohut and Loewald on one hand and of the postmoderns on the other - throws an illuminating searchlight on the path psychoanalysis has traveled over the last quarter of the 20th century.
