Ethiopian-Israeli Empowers Working Women
When Yafit was 7 years old, her small Jewish village in northern Ethiopia was struck by severe famine and her parents began the difficult journey of making their way to Israel.
When Yafit was 7 years old, her small Jewish village in northern Ethiopia was struck by severe famine and her parents began the difficult journey of making their way to Israel.
For Adam Steinberg – the 28-year-old doctor and Melbourne native who is one of JDC's two 2014 Ralph I. Goldman Fellows in International Service – his yearlong tour of JDC's work around the globe is a bona fide game-changer.
JDC's Centennial Dinner in Washington was attended by more than 350 people, including Administration officials, Ambassadors, members of Congress, and Jewish leaders representing the vast spectrum of Jewish community life.
For fashion designer Antonina Samecka, her clothing line is about more than selling trendy dresses and streetwise hoodies: It's about redefining what it means to be a Polish Jew.
Jewish leaders in Romania are hoping the community's celebration of Chanukah this year – festivities that relied heavily on volunteer efforts and grassroots planning – paves the way for a more participatory slate of Jewish programming in Bucharest.
Five years ago, "Tali" and her sister were removed from their home by the Israeli court system after sustaining injuries at the hand of their abusive father. Their mother, weak and unable to provide for them, was denied custody, and the pair was placed in a boarding school when extended family turned down the girls because of the stigma associated with the court action.
In April, Gabriel Varulkar, Nurith Samuel, Florence Haeems, and Isaac Herzel traveled to China for JDC's inaugural Limmud there, the first time the wildly popular informal education conference that started in England in 1980 was held in the world's most populous nation.
Dora Pozel lives alone in the Carpathian Mountains of western Ukraine, the only Jewish resident of a small, isolated village called Nizhnie Vorota. The nearest Jewish community center is located more than 20 miles from her home.
Seventy-five years after Kristallnacht transformed Germany's streets into a terrifying mosaic of broken glass, the country of about 250,000 Jews – the world's eighth-largest Jewish population – has rebounded to become a haven for Jewish innovation and education.
Hundreds of people packed Warsaw's first modern Jewish Community Center (JCC) recently to celebrate the facility's opening – a remarkable milestone in Poland's astonishing Jewish renaissance.

Being happily married is not the same thing as being happy all the time. Being happily married is understanding that marriage is a contract and a commitment. Being happily married is putting the success of the marriage above either person's individual needs or desires. The marriage has to be bigger than either person.
A successful marriage should be a resumé topper, the icing on the proverbial cake of accomplishments. I am incredibly proud of us and so fortunate to have found the man of my dreams who has given me a glorious life. However, don't think for one second that our life together has not been filled with many challenges.
If you're married, then you're probably familiar with the knot you get in your stomach when you have to bring up a sensitive issue with your spouse. Discussing difficult topics -- whether it be about money, parenting, sex, etc.-- is never easy, and there are many things you can say or do that make the situation worse.

stalling issue- a new one for ya
Any of you who have been around a while are probly thinking 'Geesh, this guy is still pestering us about his stalling truck...'
I'm proud to report that a past stalling issue seems to be solved!!!
I've had random stalling issues that had the symtoms of CPS going bad... replaced a few of them, still stalling randomly.
Replaced alternators... both of them. Mine has dual alt's, (amb. prep. package) and I had replaced both of them about 2 years ago... lifetime parts, so swap was simple, cost nothing, buddies garage is right behind the parts store, an hour later, 2 new alt's, and on the road again, on New Years Eve to boot.
Not one eppisode of stalling like it had before, since the change out's.
So, another minor issue to ask about. A stalling issue, but diffrent. Only under very specific circumstances does this happen.
I live at the top of a 1 mile long hill, that I daily come down with the truck geared down, sometimes even in low range. I tend to use low range, and let the trans get into 3rd or OD, as I've been under the impression that the trans will like it better to be in a higher gear, with the torq converter locked, than in high range in 1st gear, if using it to hold back the truck with compression breaking.
What happens is as I come to a stop at the bottom of the hill, it will stall. Sometimes does this even if I'm in high range/1st, but mostly when coming to a stop in low range, after coming down the hill. Flat ground, parking lot, moving trailers at the farm, never a stall stoping.
I don't think it's the T/C staying locked, as the RPMs seem to rise slightly, then it's like you popped the clutch on a man trans. Starts right up, and away we go.
Over all a minor issue, ease up to a stop SLOWLY and won't do it...
Just thought I'd see what the smart people had to say...
Hope you enjoyed reading my Friday morning book.... I'll insert a title page and chaper headings later.
Any Ideas?
Check the ICP sensor, had an issue with mine like that.

Debates have raged in the United States in recent years about the place of preventative sex education for the youth of the country but it's not the only place that has witnessed this dialogue. Indonesia has also had a strong conservative reaction to the promotion of condoms as preventative measures in the fight against HIV.
Many religious conservative groups in the country, made up of a chain of islands which sit between Australia and Thailand, have resisted this new program to provide condoms and education to people throughout the population. These conservative Muslim leaders have expressed concern that the availability and marketing of condoms encourages young children to have sex, the Guardian reports. Conservatives align the campaign with the condoning of sexual activity in general.
Proponents of the condom campaign see the situation differently. Much of the emphasis in providing protection to all people, including sex workers, is an attempt to curb the spread of HIV throughout the country and also encourage an understanding of the virus and how it gets transmitted. The Guardian quotes Nafsiah Mobi, a health minister in Indonesia, regarding the promotion of condom use:
Growing religious conservatism in recent years means some red-light districts have been closed, but unregulated [sex work] is rampant – there's [sex work] in every harbour in the archipelago.
The government launched the national condom campaign in 2006. This program promotes a "100% condom use" approach. This campaign is mostly directed at the sex worker industry where transmission risk is high. Recent studies show that, globally speaking, sex workers are some of the most at-risk groups for contracting HIV. In Indonesia at least 200,000 people are infected with the virus and the number of infections tripled between 2006 and 2011.
The University of California in San Francisco notes that 8,300 Indonesians died of AIDS in 2009 and that about 88,000 of the HIV infections are women. The Guardian also notes that although there is a large segment of Muslim conservatives concerned the government is promoting promiscuity and sexual activity in young people, condom sales doubled between 2006 and 2011.
This week United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at the International AIDS Conference in Washington DC. She stated that the US government is also committed to AIDS prevention and treatment through education, condom availability and medical materials. In her own words:
We're focusing on what we call combination prevention. Our strategy includes condoms, counseling and testing, and places special emphasis on three other interventions: treatment as prevention, voluntary medical male circumcision, and stopping the transmission of HIV from mothers to children.
However, the United States has also taken a strong stance against helping global AIDS campaigns that are involved with sex workers, blocking funding for grantees who wish to aid sex workers. Indonesia is taking a stand in which the government recognizes that sex workers have human needs and are an at-risk group in the fight to prevent further HIV infections in the world. Indonesia joins Botswana in a concerted effort to combat growing HIV rates around the world in recent years, even when influential segments of the population push against such movements.

My earlier post seems to have disappeared, so I will make another similar comment to this article.
While I have no beef with the use of contraception I think that the article, much like progressives in general, is to dismissive of local Indonesians' concerns that this campaign will encourage teenage sexual activity. Progressives seem to blind to the role of culture in discouraging premarital sex - sometimes even going so far as to say that such measures are futile, as though children are animals in rut - and do not consider the emotional harm that can result when a young man or woman has sex at the wrong time or with the wrong person. A condom cannot protect against the latter kind of harm and the Indonesians' concern that the condom campaign will have unintended harmful consequences is not unreasonable.
Doug K..."So tell me why it is our business ".
+++++++++ Why is ANY abuse of human rights "our business?" Why were concentration camps "our business?" Why was the genocide of the Kurds "our business."
If you regularly abuse women....it's MY business. And, if you had a heart and principles of humanism....the regular abuse of Muslim women and deliberate withholding/misrepresentation of reliable education for young people would be your business, too.
Jamie C: "they want to keep the women barefoot pregnant and in the harem."
Yes. They will never stop being ignorant, uncivilized and chauvinist. It's in their genes, brains and culture.
Easy available Condoms encourage sex about as much as easy available guns with high magazine capacity encourage massacres! Just because we make them available does not mean someone is going to use it in that way! Condoms and guns are inanimate objects, people decide what is done with them. Wait, wait, wait
. This is a far left wing forum. I am sorry I was out of line.
Condoms are good and will not motivate children to have sex. Guns are evil and will motivate children to kill each other. Give out condoms and ban guns! Because the Indonesian Muslim logic of having condoms available will motivate children to have sex is in no way, shape, or form aligned with the far left logic of easy access weapons will be used for what they are intended for. What was I thinking?
Well said Rosemary G.
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Fellow Americans, we have a similar movement on this very USA soil by religious right wing zealots..We have no longer a Democracy( not that we ever had it) but now we are slowly but surely going towards a Theocracy based on antiquated Judeo Christian principles inspired on man made invisible entity.Need I say more?
We all know that religious groups are always at the forefront of effective social policy, science, and all around general reasonableness.
Which century are these people living in?
Between Catholicism and Islam I don't know which one is worse for misogyny or perpetuating the myth that they are the only ones with the "true" religion. Everyone outside the faith is anathema and to be treated in whatever fashion the believer see fit. Of course both don't want sex education or condoms as it tends to diminish the number of future converts; followers who will comprise the body politic that allows them political power and influence. In the old days it was blessed was the man who had his quiver full in the terms of progeny. That needs to be curtailed and amended drastically in the face of a growing exponential human mass. Why anyone would want to bring a child into this world is beyond me. Then again humanity isn't that far removed from the chimps and bonobos in many of its behavioral aspects.
Condoms do not encourage sex- plain and simple. Keep everyone ignorant does.

The Bashkirs (Bashkir: Башҡорттар; Russian: Башкиры) are a Turkic people indigenous to Bashkortostan, extending on both sides of the Ural Mountains, on the place where Europe meets Asia. Groups of Bashkirs also live in the Republic of Tatarstan, Perm Krai, Chelyabinsk, Orenburg, Tyumen, Sverdlovsk, Kurgan, Samara and Saratov Oblasts of Russia, as well as in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and other countries.
Most Bashkirs speak the Bashkir language, which belongs to the Kypchak branch of the Turkic languages and share cultural affinities with the broader Turkic peoples. In religion the Bashkirs are mainly Sunni Muslims of the Hanafi madhhab.
There are several theories regarding the etymology of the endonym Bashqort.
- The historian and archaeologist Mikhail Artamonov suggests that it is a corruption of the name of the Bušxk' (or Bwsxk), an Iranian-speaking Scythian tribe that lived in the area now called Bashkortostan.[5]
- Ethnologist R. G. Kuzeev defines the ethnonym as emanating from "bash" — "main, head" and "qort" — " clan, tribe".
- According to the theory of 18th-century ethnographers V. N. Tatishchev, P. I. Richkov, and Johann Gottlieb Georgi, the word "Bashqort" means "wolf-leader of the pack" (bash — "main",qort — "wolf").
- In 1847, the historian V. S. Yumatov suggested the meaning as "beekeeper, beemaster".
- Russian historian and ethnologist A. E. Alektorov in 1885 suggested that "Bashqort" means "distinct nation".
- The Turkologist N. A. Baskakov believed that the word "Bashqort" consists of two parts: "badz(a)" – brother-in-law" and "(o)gur" and means "Ugrics' brother-in-law".
- Ethnologist N. V. Bikbulatov's theory states that the term originates from the name of legendary Khazar warlord Bashgird, who was dwelling with two thousand of his warriors in the area of the Jayıq river.
- According to Douglas Morton Dunlop: the word "Bashqort" comes from beshgur (or bashgur) which means "five tribes" and, since -sh- in the modern Bashkir language parallels -l- in Bulgar, the names Bashgur and Bulgar are equivalent.
- Historian and linguist András Róna-Tas believes the ethonym "Bashkir" is a Bulgar Turkic reflex of the Hungarian self-denomination "Magyar" (Old Hungarian: "Majer").
Middle Ages[edit]
Early records on the Bashkirs are found in medieval works by Sallam Tardzheman (9th century) and Ibn-Fadlan (10th century). Al-Balkhi (10th century) described Bashkirs as a people divided into two groups, one inhabiting the Southern Urals, the second group living on the Danube plain near the boundaries of Byzantium——therefore – given the geography and date – referring to either Danube Bulgars or Magyars. Ibn Rustah, a contemporary of Al Balkhi, observed that Bashkirs were an independent people occupying territories on both sides of the Ural mountain ridge between Volga, Kama, and Tobol Rivers and upstream of the Yaik river.
Achmed ibn-Fadlan visited Volga Bulgaria as a staff member in the embassy of the Caliph of Baghdad in 922. He described them as a belligerent Turk nation. Ibn-Fadlan described the Bashkirs as nature worshipers, identifying their deities as various forces of nature, birds and animals. He also described the religion of acculturated Bashkirs as a variant of Tengrism, including 12 'gods' and naming Tengri – lord of the endless blue sky.
The first European sources to mention the Bashkirs are the works of Joannes de Plano Carpini and William of Rubruquis in the mid 13th century. These travelers, encountering Bashkir tribes in the upper parts of the Ural River, called them Pascatir or Bastarci, and asserted that they spoke the same language as the Hungarians.
During the 10th century, Islam spread among the Bashkirs. By the 14th century, Islam had become the dominant religious force in Bashkir society.
By 1236, Bashkortostan was incorporated into the empire of Genghis Khan.
During the 13th and 14th centuries, all of Bashkortostan was part of the Golden Horde. The brother of Batu-Khan, Sheibani, received the Bashkir lands to the east of the Ural Mountains – at that time inhabited by the ancestors of contemporary Kurgan Bashkirs.[citation needed]
During the period of Mongolian-Tatar dominion, some of the Bashkirs became subjects of the Kipchaks.[citation needed] Under the Golden Horde, they were subjected to different elements of the Mongols.[citation needed] After the breakup of the Mongol Empire, the Bashkirs were split between the Kazan Khanate, the Nogay Horde, and Siberian Khanate.[citation needed]
Early modern period[edit]
In the late 16th and early 19th centuries Bashkirs occupied the territory from the left bank of the Volga on the south-west to the riverheads of Tobol in the east, from the river Sylva in the north, to the middle stream of the Yaik in the south, in the Middle and Southern Urals, in Cis-Urals, including Volga territory and Trans-Urals.
In the middle of the 16th century, Bashkirs joined the Russian state. Previously they formed parts of the Nogayskaya, Kazan, Sibir, and partly, Astrakhan khanates. Charters of Ivan the Terrible to Bashkir tribes became the basis of their contractual relationship with the tsar's government. Primary documents pertaining to the Bashkirs during this period have been lost, some are mentioned in the (shezhere) family trees of the Bashkir.
The Bashkirs rebelled in 1662–64 and 1675–83 and 1705–11. In 1676, the Bashkirs rebelled under a leader named Seyid Sadir or 'Seit Sadurov', and the Russian army had great difficulties in ending the rebellion. The Bashkirs rose again in 1707, under Aldar and Kûsyom, on account of ill-treatment by the Russian officials.
1735 Bashkir War[edit]
The third insurrection occurred in 1735, at the time of the foundation of Orenburg, and it lasted for six years. From at least the time of Peter the Great there had been talk of pushing southeast toward Persia and India. Ivan Kirillov drew up a plan to build a fort to be called Orenburg at Orsk at the confluence of the Or River and the Ural River southeast of the Urals where the Bashkir, Kalmyk and Kazakh lands join. Work was started at Orsk in 1735, but by 1743 'Orenburg' was moved about 250 km west to its present location. The next planned step was to build a fort on the Aral Sea. This would involve crossing the Bashkir country and then the lands of the Kazakh Lesser Horde, some of whom had recently offered a nominal submission.
Kirillov's plan was approved on May 1, 1734 and he was placed in command. He was warned that this would provoke a Bashkir rebellion, but the warnings were ignored. He left Ufa with 2,500 men in 1735 and fighting started on the first of July. The war consisted of many small raids and complex troop movements, so it cannot be easily summarized. For example: In the spring of 1736 Kirillov burned 200 villages, killed 700 in battle and executed 158. An expedition of 773 men left Orenburg in November and lost 500 from cold and hunger. During, at Seiantusa the Bashkir planned to massacre sleeping Russian. The ambush failed. One thousand villagers, including women and children, were put to the sword and another 500 driven into a storehouse and burned to death. Raiding parties then went out and burned about 50 villages and killed another 2,000. Eight thousand Bashkirs attacked a Russian camp and killed 158, losing 40 killed and three prisoners who were promptly hanged. Rebellious Bashkirs raided loyal Bashkirs. Leaders who submitted were sometimes fined one horse per household and sometimes hanged.
Bashkirs fought on both sides (40% of 'Russian' troops in 1740). Numerous leaders rose and fell. The oddest was Karasakal or Blackbeard who pretended to have 82,000 men on the Aral Sea and had his followers proclaim him 'Khan of Bashkiria'. His nose had been partly cut off and he had only one ear. Such mutilations are standard Imperial punishments. The Kazakhs of the Little Horde intervened on the Russian side, then switched to the Bashkirs and then withdrew. Kirillov died of disease during the war and there were several changes of commander. All this was at the time of Empress Anna of Russia and the Russo-Turkish War (1735–1739).
Although the history of the 1735 Bashkir War cannot be easily summarized, its results can be.
- The Russian Imperial goal of expansion into Central Asia was delayed to deal with the Bashkir problem.
- Bashkiria was pacified in 1735–1740.
- Orenburg was established.
- The southern side of Bashkiria was fenced off by the Orenburg Line of forts. It ran from Samara on the Volga east up the Samara River to its headwaters, crossed to the middle Ural River and followed it east and then north on the east side of the Urals and went east down the Uy River to Ust-Uisk on the Tobol River where it connected to the ill-defined 'Siberian Line' along the forest-steppe boundary.
- In 1740 a report was made of Bashkir losses which gave: Killed: 16,893, Sent to Baltic regiments and fleet: 3,236, Women and children distributed (presumably as serfs): 8,382, Grand Total: 28,511. Fines: Horses: 12,283, Cattle and Sheep: 6,076, Money: 9,828 rubles. Villages destroyed: 696. As this was compiled from army reports it excludes losses from irregular raiding, hunger, disease and cold. All this was from an estimated Bashkir population of 100,000.
Later, in 1774, the Bashkirs, under the leadership of Salavat Yulayev, supported Pugachev's Rebellion. In 1786, the Bashkirs achieved tax-free status; and in 1798 Russia formed an irregular Bashkir army from among them. Residual land ownership disputes continued.
The Bashkirs lived between the Kama, Volga, Samara and Tobol Rivers. The Samara River extends from the hairpin curve of the Volga east to the base of the Urals. The Tobol is east of the Upper Ural River. Orsk is where the Ural turns westward. The Belaya River with the town of Ufa cuts through the center.
The ethnic Bashkir population is estimated at roughly 2 million people (2009 SIL Ethnologue), of which about 1.4 million speak the Bashkir language, a Turkic language of the Kypchak group. The Russian census of 2002 recorded 1.38 million Bashkir speakers in the Russian Federation. Most Bashkirs are bilingual in Bashkir and Russian.
The 2010 Russian census recorded 1,172,287 ethnic Bashkirs in Bashkortostan (29.5% of total population).
About 50% of Bashkirs are Muslim, 25% are unaffiliated, 11% are atheist, and 2% are pagan. There are also about less than 1% Protestant and Catholic Bashkirs.[6][7]
The Bashkirs are predominantly Sunni Muslims of the Hanafi madhhab. The Bashkirs traditionally practiced agriculture, cattle-rearing and bee-keeping. The half-nomadic Bashkirs wandered either the mountains or the steppes, herding cattle.
Bashkir national dishes include a kind of gruel called öyrä and a cheese named qorot. Wild-hive beekeeping can be named as a separate component of the most ancient culture which is practiced in the same Burzyansky District near to the Shulgan-Tash cave.
«Ural-batyr» and «Akbuzat» are Bashkir national epics. Their plot concerns struggle of heroes against demonic forces. The peculiarity of them is that events and ceremonies described there can be addressed to a specific geographical and historical object –the Shulgan-Tash cave and its vicinities.
Regarding Y-DNA haplogroups, genetic studies have revealed that most Bashkir males belong to haplogroup R1b (R-M269 and R-M73) which is, on average, found at the frequency of 47,6 %. Following are the haplogroup R1a at the average frequency of 26.5%, and haplogroup N1c at 17%. In lower frequencies were also found haplogroups J2, C, O, E1b, G2a, L, N1b, I, T.[8]
Most mtDNA haplogroups found in Bashkirs (65%) consist of the haplogroups G, D, С, Z and F; which are lineages characteristic of East Eurasian populations. On the other hand, mtDNA haplogroups characteristic of European and Middle Eastern populations were also found in significant amounts (35%).[9][10]
Theories of origin[edit]
Because genetic studies have revealed that a majority of Bashkir males belong to Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b, which is otherwise concentrated in Western Europe, this has lent support to theories such as:

North Carolina lands in national headlines again, this time in WSJ editorial
After the New York Times Editorial Board published a scathing criticism of the Tar Heel State's General Assembly, a member of the Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board has something different to say about North Carolina.
Asheville abortion clinic would be only one in NC to meet new restrictions
If the North Carolina General Assembly passes a bill that would change the state's requirements for abortion clinics, Asheville's FemCare would be the only clinic in the state able to meet the proposed guidelines.
Whose agenda is this?
Watching the N.C. General Assembly's 2011-12 session thus far has been like sitting through a civics lesson on steroids. There's been the high drama of the Republican Party's complete takeover of the Statehouse for the first time since 1870; the crisis of looming budget deficits in the wake of a national economic tidal wave; the […]

The No. 3/5 Florida softball team returns home after a three-game road series to host rival South Florida today at 6 p.m. at Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium.
Winners of nine straight, the Gators swept Southeastern Conference foe Texas A&M in a trio of games over the weekend and outscored the Aggies, 30-5.

New multi-country research study finds neither newborns nor their mothers are receiving appropriate treatment and care to end this needless tragedy
NEW YORK and GENEVA, May 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Global and national programs to prevent vertical (mother-to-child) transmission are in disarray and governments are falling seriously short of their goals, leading to hundreds of thousands of needless HIV infections annually, according to new on-the-ground research from six countries published in the latest Missing the Target report -- "Failing Women, Failing Children: HIV, Vertical Transmission and Women's Health" -- from the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), to be released during the 62nd World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva.
Although the drugs have been available for over a decade, two-thirds of HIV-positive pregnant women in the developing world do not receive any antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to prevent HIV transmission to infants. Worse, most of those who get drugs are treated with a therapy known to be just over 40% effective, rather than the triple-dose combination therapy that successfully prevents almost 98% of newborn HIV infections in the developed world.
"The statistics clearly show that governments of developing countries are failing to provide effective drug therapy to prevent HIV infections in newborns. Worse still, our research findings point to an unacceptable absence of a comprehensive program to prevent vertical transmission," said Aditi Sharma, coordinator of the Treatment Monitoring and Advocacy Project of ITPC. "Unless governments begin to address the fundamental barriers specific to women that stop them accessing health care services, the world will continue to miss the target of eradicating vertical transmission of HIV."

Arsenal's last three performances have underlined their level of improvement this season, according to manager Arsene Wenger.
The Premier League leaders beat Liverpool 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday before overcoming Borussia Dortmund 1-0 away from home in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Despite losing 1-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, Wenger is confident his team have improved this season.
"I feel that the team has grown, has moved a step up and the (Manchester United) game has reinforced my belief," he told the club's official website.
"Let's come back after the international break and have a positive game at the Emirates."
Wenger was disappointed with the defeat against the champions, with former striker Robin van Persie's 27th-minute strike settling the match.
The Frenchman wants to see a reaction from his charges after claiming they should have taken three points at Old Trafford for the first time since 2006.
"When we started to play we dominated the game completely and were unlucky not to score in the second half," he continued.
"I hope that everybody is full of rage basically against ourselves because it's unbelievable to lose a game like that.
"Maybe because we haven't won for a while here, we were just not ourselves in the first half. In the second half we should have come back - we were honestly unlucky."

Dh says everything is just as tight as it ever was, after 5 vaginal births.
13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1
I've had both, and no issues with sex either way. I feel like the other pros and cons are much more important to base a decision off of.
Eva 11/09, Blaise 04/11, ^Owen 12/10/12-12/28/12, Kailym 3/14
I delivered my first vaginally almost 5 years ago, I had a 2nd degree tear that healed really fast and well --- but it still doesn't feel the same down there during sex. Where I tore is still tender and prone to feeling sore after even the gentlest intercourse. And it just feels... rearranged LOL I guess is the best word.
i have not had a vbac yet but in my opion sex would be better after te vbac because each time you got pregnant with a c sectoin the risk goes up so sex would be more scary and id have to use more condoms birth control. id like knowing theres no medical risk of getting pregnant and being able to not use protection and that would make sex more enjoyable to me. I know i havent been through it yet. its just my persepctive .

9. Crepes with Leeks and Eggs
- 1/2 Cup milk
- 3 Eggs
- 2 Teaspoons olive oil
- 1/3 Cup flour
- Coarse salt
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Medium leek, clean and sliced crosswise
- 1 Clove garlic, minced
- Freshly-ground pepper
- 1/2 Cup gruyere
1. In a blender or food processor, blend milk, 1 egg, olive oil, flour and a pinch of salt. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in leeks and let cook until the leeks have wilted, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Set the oven rack on the highest level. Preheat broiler. Heat up a cast iron skillet (9-12 inches) over medium-high heat. Add remaining butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of the crepe batter and tilt the skillet so it spreads out thinly and evenly. Let it cook for around 3 minutes, until bubbly and dry. Carefully release the edges of the crepe with a small spatula. Carefully flip the crepe over using your fingers.
4. Add half of the leeks and half of the grated cheese over the crepe, but take care to leave space in the middle for the egg. Crack egg into the uncovered spot and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
5. Move the skillet to the broiler. Let crepe broil until the yolk is runny and the whites are cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and fold crepe in half. Repeat steps with remaining ingredients.

Because of the growing crisis at Japan's Fukushima power plant, we've spent the past week discussing nuclear energy around the globe. Today we conclude with a look at Africa. Many African nations have long struggled to find reliable energy sources.
Brazil forges independent path on nuclear energy
Mar. 30, 2011
This week on
we're taking a look at nuclear power around the world. Today's focus is on Brazil. Brazil's nuclear energy program was in part inspired by American efforts to promote peaceful uses of nuclear science.
Will Fukushima affect China's growing appetite for nuclear power?
Mar. 29, 2011
This week we're taking a look at nuclear energy around the globe. Today we focus on China. According to the World Nuclear Association, mainland China has 13 nuclear power reactors in operation and at least 25 more are currently under construction. And that is just the beginning.
Japan tragedy is not out of the ordinary
Mar. 28, 2011

Jakobsson, A., Mäkitalo, Å. & Säljö, R. (2009). Conceptions of knowledge in research on students' understanding of the greenhouse effect. Science Education, 93(6), 978–995.
This study suggests that the assessment of students' understanding of scientific vocabulary, concepts, and reasoning associated with the greenhouse effect may be better accomplished by observing and understanding learners' developing language use over time. The indication of previous research that students hold tenacious misconceptions may be an artifact of the questionnaires used. The authors argue that listening to student conversations is the key to better recognize learning. This paper can help ISE educators think more deeply about how and when to assess for student understanding, including considering most appropriate and informative methods.
Van Eijck, M. & Roth, W.-M. (2009). Authentic science experiences as a vehicle to change students' orientations toward science and scientific career choices: Learning from the path followed by Brad. Cultural Studies of Science Education, 4, 611–638.
This study aims to answer two questions important to informal science learning: What is "authentic"? And, why do we want students to have authentic science learning experiences? Using ethnographic methods, the authors developed a case study over the course of one year of an Aboriginal student, Brad, who participated in a scientific internship program that included both nature conservation and laboratory work. This study analyzes how Brad's cultural identity interacted, influenced, and hybridized with the scientific and other practices he participated in during his internship. The paper will be of interest to ISE educators exploring how program experiences interact with identity to encourage expanded participation in STEM.
Bricker, L. A., & Bell, P. (2008). Conceptualizations of argumentation from science studies and the learning sciences and their implications for the practices of science education. Science Education, 92(3), 473–498. doi:10.1002/sce.20278
In order to broaden the conceptualizations of argument in science education, Bricker and Bell draw from diverse fields: the sociology of science, the learning sciences, and cognitive science to help practitioners think of new ways to bring argumentation into learning spaces while expanding what counts as scientific argument.
Swanson, L. H., Bianchini, J. A., & & Lee, J. S. (2014). Engaging in argument and communicating information: A case study of English language learners and their science teacher in an urban high school. Journal for Research in Science Teaching, 51(1), 31–64. doi:10.1002/tea.21124
In this study, the researchers investigated opportunities and challenges English language learners (ELLs) faced while learning the scientific practices of argumentation and communication of findings (NGSS practices 7 and 8; NGSS Lead States, 2013). Specifically, they asked how the teacher engaged ELLs in argumentation and communication and how the ELLs actually used these practices.

A study contrasting scientific reasoning skills of students with limited knowledge of the domain against more expert groups found little difference in nature of hypothesising and experimentation, but their lack of domain knowledge hindered non-experts' abilities to develop and test models. Findings highlight the need for support to understand models and organize knowledge.
Sharples, M., Scanlon, E., Ainsworth, S., Anastopoulou, S., Collins, T., Crook, C., Jones, A., Kerawalla, L., Littleton, K., Mulholland, P., & O'Malley, C. (2014). Personal inquiry: Orchestrating science investigations within and beyond the classroom. Journal of the Learning Sciences. Doi: 10.1080/10508406.2014.944642
Mobile technology can be used to scaffold inquiry-based learning, enabling learners to work across settings and times, singly or in collaborative groups. It can expand learners' opportunities to understand the nature of inquiry whilst they engage with the scientific content of a specific inquiry. This Sharples et al. paper reports on the use of the mobile computer-based inquiry toolkit nQuire. Teachers found the tool useful in helping students to make sense of data from varied settings.
Scharfenberg, F.-J. & Bogner, F. X. (2010). Instructional efficiency of changing cognitive load in an out-of-school laboratory. International Journal of Science Education, 32(6), 829–844.
The authors claim that if the students are given an overdose of information, their memories become 'overloaded'; for example, engaging in an activity in a professional science laboratory. To counter this negative impact, the study here suggests ways to lessen the 'cognitive overload' and inform instructional design.
Rosebery, A. S., Ogonowski, M., DiSchino, M., & Warren, B. (2010). "The coat traps all your body heat": Heterogeneity as fundamental to learning. Journal of the Learning Sciences, 19(3), 322–357.
This study makes the case for the ways in which children's everyday experiences are foundational to learning science. The authors argue for the importance of instruction that capitalizes on the diverse experiences and ways of thinking that children bring to the classroom. The article has implications for the design of learning activities in informal settings, where, in the absence of testing pressures, educators might be more free to engage children in "science talk" to support deeper meaning-making.
Hsu, P. L., van Eijck, M., & Roth, W. M. (2010). Students' representations of scientific practice during a science internship: Reflections from an activity-theoretic perspective. International Journal of Science Education, 32(9), 1243–1266.
In this study, students who participated in science internships were found to gain a better understanding of authentic science but did not have complete representations of scientific practice. Students' communication within presentations was seen to be mediated by the audience they were presenting to and what they perceived to be important. Consequently, students reported stereotypical images of science. This paper might be of interest to ISE educators developing lab and internship programs for students.
Johnston, J. S. (2009). What does the skill of observation look like in young children? International Journal of Science Education, 31(18), 2511–2525.
Observation is a key skill in science. It is also an important initial skill in early learning. In this paper, Johnston examines the skill of observation in 56 children (4–11 years), asks how it influences other skills in science, and considers how it may be supported. The paper draws attention to that fact that in recent years primary science education has been about the acquisition of conceptual knowledge rather than key skills, and that this balance may not be justified. Of further interest to ISE practitioners is Johnston's comments that contexts where children can observe natural phenomena, especially animals, have been found to produce positive effects on the development of children's language, social skills, and attitudes.

The Pimsleur® Method: the easiest, fastest way to learn a new language. Completely portable, easily downloadable, and lots of fun. You'll be speaking and understanding in no time flat! Polish Phase 1, Units 1-5 build on material taught in prior units. Each lesson provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Each lesson contains practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension, and on learning to speak Polish.
Download the accompanying reference guide.

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)
"Quick and Simple!"
I checked out Pimsleur "Quick and Simple" polish from my work library... similar to this, it is an audio based program... Units 1-5 are almost an exact copy of "quick and simple", but the remaining programs take you from there. I take the lessons on my drive to and from the office (lessons are usually ~30 minutes) and best done when alone in the car. The program teaches you phrases which you repeat (often) in the context of a conversation. My Husband is polish, and is amazed that just on lesson 8 I am able to have short conversations regarding country of orgin, language, directions, meals, etc. If speaking polish is your ultimate goal - this is the way! I have struggled with other programs (including rosetta stone), but am excited to complete all 30 of the available Pimsleur lessons. I highly recommend this series.
Thirtysomething writer, can't stand being read to, hate listening to fiction, discovered I can deal with non-fiction as if it's public radio
"Great way to start speaking a few Polish phrases!"
This is a good method to get you started quickly speaking and understanding a few simple Polish phrases.
It's very enjoyable to learn another language, and these phrases were a good and practical place to start.
The voices spoke clearly and it was well presented.
The only thing I wish is that each unit covered a little bit more content, or that more units were included in one book.
"learn to speak like you're Polish"
There isn't a print version, this course is designed to get you speaking, rather than reading, Polish
Each lesson is based around natural conversations that you quickly learn to understand and take part in.
So far I have used the Pimsleur language courses to learn Polish, Mandarin Chinese, German, French, Albanian, Hindi, Farsi and a little Hebrew. This one is as good as the others, they are all excellent.
You are advised to do one lesson a day.
My Polish friends have commented that I sound Polish when I speak with them, since using this course!
"Did the trick"
Pimsleur courses are excellent, the Polish course in no way diminishes the method, diminished only by the american accent for me.

Silver + Gold TablescapeThursday, November 1st, 2012
I was asked by Wayfair to partake in their Holiday Tablescape Challenge and I was happy to be one of the many bloggers setting pretty tables this year as part of their campaign. I've always loved mixing metallic finishes especially during the holidays, so I did on this table too, inspired by a fresh geometric fabric I found which combines gold and silver together.
I set a table with versatile place settings that will work for several holidays from a Thanksgiving feast to a New Year's Day brunch.
