If you are moving from your home or relocating your business out of North Dakota, carefully consider hiring a moving company. Not just any moving company, but one with a reputation for being professional and with years of experience to back them up. The state holds a lot of great movers. Use a middleman to narrow down the options according to your needs and the company's ratings, and they will gather quotes for you.
• Stay on top of the game and opt for full service packaging or purchase packaging supplies from the moving company and have everything packed ahead of time. Don't wait until last minute.
• Try not to be unrealistic. Set goals, but don't expect everything to happen accordingly. Learn to expect and accept that things might not go according to plan. The movers might be late or the weather might not be favorable on the day of the big move. Try to keep a level head and not get too upset if something goes awry.
• Pack up the items you use less first. Try your best to pack up one room at a time and keep all boxes in the rooms the items belong in. Label all boxes and use the proper packaging supplies.
• Keep everyone happy on moving day. Clear all pathways for the movers and provide them with cold drinks and maybe some snacks. Then, they can continue to work without hesitation. They will be pleased with your gesture.
• Have extra money put aside in case something comes up during moving day and the moving process.
• Purchase insurance from the moving company to assure your belongings will be repaired or replaced should they be lost or damaged during the process.
• Find a babysitter for the kids and pets on the day of the move. This will lessen the stress on you as well as the movers.
• Make sure you get plenty of rest before the movers come and don't schedule any big outings within the days prior to the move.
Of course, no matter how much your prepare yourself you may still end up feeling stressed. Try to let all of the little matters go and to not let the stress get to you. Hire a trustworthy moving company out of North Dakota to help you with the move and everything should end up working out as planned.

World Yemeni Officials Say Vessel Capsized at Hodeida Port; 1 Dead
Yemeni Officials Say Vessel Capsized at Hodeida Port; 1 Dead
Tuesday, June 1, 2021 at 6:27 am | כ"א סיון תשפ"א
SANAA, Yemen (AP) -
A vessel capsized on Tuesday while offloading cargo at Yemen's Red Sea port of Hodeida, leaving at least one worker dead, Yemeni officials said.
The cargo is owned by the U.N. food agency, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. It was not immediately clear what caused the vessel to capsize. But the officials said the vessel was old.
The strategic Hodeida port handles about 70% of Yemen's commercial and humanitarian imports.
The World Food Program did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
Yemen, already the Arab world's poorest country, has been caught in a grinding civil war since 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi rebels captured much of the country's north and the capital of Sanaa, forcing the internationally recognized government to flee.
The following year, a Saudi-led coalition intervened to wage war on the Houthis and restore the government to power. It also imposed a land, sea and air embargo on Yemen.
The conflict has killed more than 130,000 people and spawned the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
The U.N. has warned that 16 million people in Yemen — or about half the population — could face serious food insecurity. Tens of thousands of people already live in famine-like conditions.

Up and Moving Again!
When you first hear Vera Foreman's voice, you can't help but notice a sense of excitement and energy. She's an on-the-go kind of lady. With two teenage children, a part time job and her volunteer work, it may surprise many that she has end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Vera has always sped through life by embracing the positive. However, she had to shift gears in 1995 when doctors diagnosed her with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or FSGS. At the time, Vera was working in the Department of Pathology at Texas Children's Hospital as a Systems Manager. Since the department provided free lab work for its staff, Vera took advantage of the service. She began getting labs drawn in 1993. She had asked one of the pathologists (Dr. Edith Hawkins) to explain her lab values. The lab results showed Vera's protein level to be slightly elevated. She was told to keep an eye on it. "I was getting lab work done on a regular basis. I kept checking it and over time, the numbers kept getting larger. When I showed one of the pathologists my lab results again, she told me it was time to go see my doctor."
Vera's doctor performed more extensive lab work and tests, performed a 24-hour creatinine clearance and took a biopsy of her kidney. "That's when I learned my diagnosis, FSGS. At the time, I didn't really understand the magnitude of the diagnosis. The entire faculty knew. My boss, Dr. Gregory Buffone, came to my office and said, 'If the job and family life gets to be more than you can handle, let me know so we may rearrange your schedule and workload.' This was very comforting. However, I still wasn't getting what all the excitement was all about among my co-workers and family."
FSGS is a disease that affects the kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerular diseases damage the glomeruli, letting protein and sometimes red blood cells leak into the urine. Sometimes a glomerular disease also interferes with the removal of waste products by the kidney, so waste can build up in the blood.
Over time, Vera started to really feel and see some of the symptoms that come with a kidney disease diagnosis: fatigue, swelling ankles and puffiness. Doctors treated her for intracranial pressure (pressure on the brain) and allergic reactions to steroids. Vera also suffered from a stroke. And if life couldn't get any worse, she and her husband divorced. Also during that time, her older brother, mother and sister died. All of these events put Vera's life in neutral. However, due to her strong faith, she was able to pick herself up and continue to plow through life.
Doctors explained to Vera she would soon have to be placed on dialysis. She was not a candidate for a kidney transplant. So, she did everything she could to learn about dialysis and the various modality options. She even visited a dialysis unit. "I thought the unit was very clean. It smelled like bleach. I said hello to all the people. However, I told them I'd come by and say hello every now and then, but I'm not coming here!"
But she kept feeling tired. "I couldn't even put on a pair of pants without getting tired. I would put one leg in and then rest before putting the other leg in." Weeks later she began in-center hemodialysis. At first, being in the dialysis center depressed her. According to Vera, the patients at the unit looked like they had given up. "I knew that somehow, I had to make a difference." She hated just sitting there, so she decided to make a few changes for her own mental and emotional health, as well as to inspire and encourage others. First, she asked to be put by a window during her dialysis session. She decided she would get dressed for her dialysis session as if she was going to work (this inspired others to do so as well). And then she started bringing pretty cocktail glasses to the unit for her drinks. "I would sit by the window and pretend I was at the beach or some tropical place," she says with a laugh. "It helps to change your emotional chemistry."
As Vera's health started to improve, so did her spirit and energy. She started volunteering with the National Kidney Foundation. She saw a need for a patient support group in her community, so she started her own organization: People of Power and Purpose (PPP). The group met monthly for educational seminars, went on field trips such as fishing trips and took trips to the beach. They even chartered a bus and drove to San Antonio, Texas, (about 120 miles) for an AAKP Kidney Beginnings: Live program.
Vera learned about AAKP after picking up a copy of aakpRENALIFE. She applied for a Chapter charter and soon turned her own organization, PPP, into an AAKP Chapter. Vera says a life changing event occurred in 2006 while attending an AAKP Annual Convention. She had read about home hemodialysis and asked a social worker who was speaking at the program about the dialysis option. The social worker sent her information about home dialysis. "I was so excited about the possibility of feeling better, being at home and getting some of my independence back! Everything about it was a plus. You feel better, flexibility, no driving to a center and the ability to work part-time if you choose. I presented the information I'd learned about a particular home hemodialysis system to my nephrologists, who then gave me the "green light" to go for it, and I did! Within a month, I started the two-week training and I had a home dialysis machine at my house. And my brother Glenn, who is also a dialysis patient, went home with a dialysis machine as well within two months."
Vera's daughter Kiera, who was 16 at the time, trained with her on how to properly care for Vera and operate the machine. Vera's son, Kuinn, who was 15 at the time, trained with Glenn. "I'm not going to say home dialysis was easy at first. It takes work, but it's well worth it. I haven't had to take any blood pressure medicine since being at home. I don't even take diabetic medication anymore. Home hemodialysis has given me my independence. I can do my dialysis session and go cook dinner immediately. Oh, did I mention that on rainy and cold days, how wonderful it is that I can dialyze and sit in my big chair and watch my big television or read and look out of the window and count my blessings that I don't have to go out?"
Vera's initial start on home hemodialysis took an emotional toll on her daughter. In the beginning, Vera usually waited until her children got home from school, which was at night because of after school activities, to start her dialysis session. "But one day my daughter had a meltdown. She told me she thought she was responsible for my life, which overwhelmed her. When she told me that, I felt horrible. I decided then I could do it myself." Although she does her treatment at home when her children are there, they are doing their own things such as homework, reading, television, etc.
Vera's daughter plans to go to college and then medical school once she graduates from high school this year. She wants to one day become a neurologist. Her son wants to go into the medical field, but is currently undecided.
In-center hemodialysis left Vera feeling wiped out and drained. Now that she's on home hemodialysis, she feels like she's using premium gasoline. She dialyzes for a little more than two hours six days a week. "It may seem like a lot, but its not. By the time you watch a movie or two episodes of Walker Texas Ranger, the treatment is complete. With two active teenagers, her new treatment allows her to cheer her son on at football games and band concerts, and attend her daughter's orchestra concerts and dance competitions. She's also volunteering at her church and even working part time.
"I am spoiled. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I would recommend home hemodialysis for all patients who are physically and emotionally able to do so. It is life changing!"
Jerome A. Bailey is the Communications Manager for AAKP and Editor of At Home with AAKP.

White House confirms attacks on ISIL leaders
syriatr November 11, 2014
US Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes has confirmed that recent airstrikes struck some of the leaders of the ISIL terrorist group.
"As you know we did take a strike that successfully hit a number of ISIL vehicles that we assess was associated with ISIL leadership," he said on Tuesday.
The United States did not elaborate on whether the airstrike killed the terror group's leader, Ibrahim al-Samarrai aka Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Washington "cannot confirm his status at this point," Rhodes stated.
However, Iraqi Defense Minister Khaled al-Obeidi said in a Facebook post that the leader was injured and Musallam al-Turkmani, a top deputy, was killed during the airstrikes.
In addition, local witnesses and government sources confirmed that al-Baghdadi was hurt in the Saturday attack. Two witnesses said the fighters dropped bombs on the town of al-Qaim, next to the Syrian border.
Local government sources also said that an aircraft dropped its payload over a meeting of senior ISIL militants, killing over a dozen of them.
A local hospital reported that it had received a high number of patients from the airstrikes, including al-Baghdadi.
Rhodes noted that the attack aimed to send a message to the terrorists that the US won't "allow for a safe haven for ISIL and its fighters and its leadership in Iraq or Syria."
He threatened that if the terrorists move, the US is going to "hit them."

Do CDK4/6 Inhibitors Impact Later Therapy in HR+ mBC?
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Yes, there's this whole question of what to do after your CDK4 [cyclin-dependent kinase] 4/6 inhibitor. Does prior CDK4/6 inhibition make you more sensitive to mTOR [mechanistic target of rapamycin] inhibition? What is the impact, if any, on subsequent chemotherapy?
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: Yes. We are feeling our way, I would say. I'm feeling my way because we don't have data to guide us in terms of randomized trials upon progression on CDK4/6. A key question is, who could just get endocrine therapy alone at that point, such as fulvestrant? Who needs an mTOR inhibitor? Who needs chemotherapy? And then, as you said, maybe we'll get a PI3-kinase inhibitor to put as an option there. I think the randomized trials are ongoing with continuing CDK4/6, or switching to a CDK4/6, or even adding a checkpoint inhibitor to that as well, etc.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Wasn't in any way harmed.
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: Wasn't in any way harmed, exactly.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: I thought that was important nor did I think there was any priori reason to think that CDK4/6 inhibition would somehow impair or hamper subsequent therapy, so that the hazard ratio through 2 lines of therapy still favored palbociclib and it was very similar through one line in PALOMA-3. It was interesting that in that analysis, the most common chemotherapy, maybe not that surprising to many, that doctors chose after progression on PALOMA-3 for patients who got chemotherapy was capecitabine.
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: Yes, continuing with the oral. At least preclinically in some of the preoperative therapy trials, when patients have stopped the CDK4/6 preoperatively, gone to surgery, and then the Ki-67 has been looked at, there is some rebound in proliferation. And so, you wonder, is endocrine therapy going to work by itself there or do you need an mTOR? What do you tend to do in your practice, Andy?
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: For which patient?
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: The patient progressing on first-line therapy, who has benefitted from CDK4/6 and now they're progressing. What do you tend to do?
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Yes, so typically that benefit is a durable benefit. If the patient has opportunities for other endocrine therapies that they haven't been exposed to or even if they had been exposed to it many years ago in the adjuvant setting, my default position is to try to exploit endocrine therapy for as long as possible. So, for the woman who has progressed on an AI [aromatase inhibitor] plus CDK4/6 inhibitor, it would either be fulvestrant or it could be exemestane or everolimus. We always forget about tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is still a good drug and we don't talk about it much. So, the tamoxifen-naïve patients, patients who have more indolent disease, that's still a possibility.
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: What do you see? When you use fulvestrant as a single agent, for example, is there a particular patient population and have you seen prolonged stable disease, some clinical benefit there?
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Yes. I don't know that I think there's a patient population that helps me parse the decision between, let's say, fulvestrant and exemestane/everolimus. The bigger decision is chemotherapy versus either of those and then it tends to be symptomatic visceral disease that's the driver. I feel I've learned a lot about how to manage everolimus toxicity, and I know some doctors are bashful about using it, primarily because of stomatitis, etc. But I still find it to be very valuable. The hope is that patients will be able to derive some meaningful period of benefit from all of these treatments. So, if it's not fulvestrant now, it's fulvestrant later, right?
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: Yes. And what I have done, what I've kind of come upon, our practice patients are always changing as we get more experience and, of course, even better data in this post-CDK. But what I've been doing is if the patient doesn't have a liver metastasis, I have been going on to an everolimus combination in the second-line setting. But if they've got bone disease, lung disease, lymph node disease, chest wall, breast, ER [estrogen receptor]-driven sites of disease, I have found good success with everolimus following CDK with either exemestane or fulvestrant, for example. Now with liver disease, having tried it several times, Andy, I have found a lack of success. And so, for the liver metastasis, just again trial and error, I am now going on to capecitabine for the liver metastasis. And one thing I like to do is if women benefit from everolimus and whatever agent, I tend to use exemestane frequently. If they benefit more than 6 months, I have found that going to tamoxifen next, I can get 8 or 9 months. It really does resensitize to that estrogen receptor. So, that's kind of one of the reasons I use the everolimus, because I want to try to resensitize.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: Interesting, interesting.
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: To get a longer duration. So, I haven't done a lot of fulvestrant as a single agent right after CDK. My practice pattern has been to go more to an everolimus.
Andrew D. Seidman, MD: You know, this whole underlying theme sort of speaks to this novel endpoint that I've heard a lot of patient advocates talk about, that is time to chemotherapy. How much of my life can I live with metastatic breast cancer before I need to cross that bridge to chemotherapy? You mentioned this earlier. I recently had the privilege of chairing a working group for the NCI [National Cancer Institute] Breast Cancer Steering Committee where we were critically examining meaningful and appropriate endpoints for metastatic breast cancer clinical trials. And several patient advocates were on the panel, which was very valuable. And while we parsed the difference between PFS as a primary endpoint in this setting versus OS [overall survival], there was a lot of discussion about patient-reported outcomes. And patients expressed a value in time without chemotherapy as being important in and of itself. So, these strategies hopefully will allow us to make that many years.
Joyce A. O'Shaughnessy, MD: Yes, absolutely. Look forward to reading your paper on that, Andy. Really lovely effort and contribution.

Leah Bergstein
by Dan Ronen
Leah Bergstein was the first of the choreographers in Palestine who at the beginning of the 1930s created festival dances at A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.kibbutzim, attempting to depict life in pre-state Israel in general and on agricultural settlements in particular. The unique creation of festival pageants contributed greatly to the development of a genre of rural Israeli festival and holiday celebrations and the creation of the first The Land of IsraelErez Israel dances.
The first such celebration in which Leah Bergstein participated took place in 1929, organized by the Shepherds' Group of A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.Kibbutz Bet Alfa in the Jezreel Valley. Bergstein and the poet-composer Mattityahu Shelem (1904–1975), who were members of this group, helped to create a festival to celebrate the end of the sheep-shearing. In cooperation with Shelem, Bergstein continued to choreograph dances and design festival pageants at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan in the Zevulun Valley, to which she moved in the 1940s. Creation of festival dances and design of ceremonies became her life's work.
Leah Bergstein was born on October 23, 1902, in Bolshovtsy, Galicia (94 km SE of Lvov). Her father, Moshe Bergstein (b. Galicia 1873, d. Israel 1954), was known as "Moishe A member of the hasidic movement, founded in the first half of the 18th century by Israel ben Eliezer Ba'al Shem Tov.Hasid," not so much because of his piety as because of the Hasidic-style joy that he projected around him. Her mother, Liba (née Shor, b. Galicia 1874, d. Israel 1958), was a petite, hard-working woman who ran the household and the family store. Her grandfather, Ya'akov Bergstein, was "the Nagid," or mayor of the Jewish community in his town. When World War I broke out in 1914, the family fled to Vienna, at the time one of Europe's great cultural centers. The parents emigrated to Palestine in 1938. The couple had seven children: David, who persuaded Leah to join Ha-Shomer ha-Zair and who died in Detroit; Isaac (b. 1908, died 1988 at Kibbutz Givat Hayyim); Effie (b. 1912, d. New York); Haya Dirnhal (killed in Holocaust); Hannah Broner (lived in New York); Rivka (lived in Detroit).
Studying with Mme. Deinish, a pupil of Isidora Duncan (1878–1927) who had fled to Vienna from Bucharest, Leah encountered the modern dance revolution. As part of their studies Mme. Deinish had her students choreograph short dances inspired by ancient Greek vase-paintings, thus imparting to them foundations of movement that derived from a combination of Greek culture and dance. Later Bergstein recollected: "That was how I found my way to the sources." The influence of Bergstein's dance teachers later surfaced in her own choreography, in which she sought simplicity and economy of movement.
In Vienna Bergstein was also exposed to Anthroposophy, a movement founded by Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) at the beginning of the twentieth century, which was based on a mystical belief in life after death and reincarnation. Rudolf Steiner also developed a theory of dance based on a system called Eurhythmics, a rhythmic alphabet in which each vowel or consonant could be expressed by a specific body movement. Through these movements one could put together words and tell a story, add music and turn it into dance. Since the voice comes from the chest, the hands fulfill the main function, while the feet merely assist. Deriving from Anthroposophics the possibilities inherent in the connection between word and movement, Leah choreographed her first two dances, based on poems by Goethe. Under the influence of Theosophy, of which anthroposophy was an offshoot, she became acquainted with Indian dance. While looking through a book on ancient Indian art which she found in a library, she suddenly felt a natural affinity to Indian movement, which seemed to her warmer than Greek movement and, like Yemenite dance, entirely based on movement of the joints.
Bergstein also took courses in pedagogy and gymnastics and studied to be a kindergarten teacher. She developed a pedagogical system of accompanying stories with movement, which allowed children to release tensions and express their experiences.
After completing her studies as a kindergarten teacher, Leah Bergstein studied dance at the school of Margaret Schmidt, an outstanding student of Rudolf von Laban (1879–1958) who eventually became his assistant. A choreographer and dance teacher, von Laban devised a theory of movement which still constitutes the basis of modern dance. Coining the basic terms "contraction" and "relaxation," he based his dance movement on the three dimensions of space: depth, width and height and on power, time and space. This system helped him compose the first dance notation of its kind, which to this day enables dances to be transcribed. Rudolf von Laban also concentrated on folk festivals. He felt that folk dance was disappearing because of the changes wrought by modernity and therefore a new way had to be found to enable people to celebrate and be joyful. The means that seemed to him central in this process of renewal was a "chorus" of movement, which combined a speaking chorus group with the simplest dance movements that people could perform without prior technical knowledge.
Bergstein progressed in her dancing career, joining the company of Vera Skoronel (1909–1932), a pupil of dancer and choreographer Mary Wigman (1866–1973), who had herself studied with von Laban. However, following the rise of antisemitism in Germany, Bergstein heard people at the notice-board commenting that it was not nice that the Jewish name "Bergstein" appeared on the list of dancers. Thereupon, she decided to give up her promising career as a professional dancer and emigrate to Palestine. She continued to study in Vienna, learning baby care to supplement her profession as a kindergarten teacher, telling herself that dance was not the main aim in life but merely a means of achieving that aim. Her feeling that the people's return to its land must be accompanied by the building of its own culture steadily grew stronger.
Bergstein arrived in Palestine in 1925 and joined Kibbutz Bet Alfa. At first, she worked in the laundry and later at planting seedlings in the garden. She soon discovered that even on the kibbutz she was expected to contribute artistically during celebrations and particularly on festival days. She performed a number of solo dances and continued her search for simple, pure movement which almost anyone could master.
At Bet Alfa she encountered the culture of the neighboring Bedouin, which she found both attractive and mysterious. Stemming from a connection to the earth, to nature and its annual cycle, and from the ability to form a strong connection between everyday and festival days, the Bedouin culture had a rich tradition of ceremonies, songs and dances to express the feelings of a nomadic shepherd society. For Bergstein, this tradition and its adherents symbolized the ancient Land of Israel. For the members of Bet Alfa, shepherds and flocks served both as a connection with the land and its landscape during Biblical times and as a universal symbol of peace.
Bergstein joined the shepherds at Bet Alfa, first as a cheesemaker, helping with the milking in the evenings when the flock returned from pasture and in the mornings before it went out. Only after some time was she allowed to go out with the flock to Mount Gilboa, guarded by her fellow shepherds.
The shepherds' group tried to revive the sheep-shearing festival, not on a set date but as a genuine shepherds' celebration at the end of the shearing season. Mattityahu Shelem, who was also a shepherd in the group, composed a song, "Sheep and Goat, Goat and Sheep Went Out Together to the Field," for which Leah choreographed a dance. The song and dance served as a basis for the shearing festival, which was celebrated at Kibbutz Bet Alfa for the first time in 1929. Later, an attempt was made to combine the holiday with national shepherds' conventions, but gradually the festival fell into disuse because it had no set date or tradition, and also because that particular branch of farming ceased operation. The shearing festival at Bet Alfa was a landmark not only for Leah and Mattityahu, but also in the development of the kibbutz festival in particular and the country's folk-cultural life in general.
Bergstein's personal life was complicated. Her first husband was a kibbutz member; her second partner was the veterinarian for the Jezreel Valley, whose wife refused to divorce him. Bergstein therefore left the kibbutz in 1935, moving to Tel Aviv, where she opened a school for gymnastic therapy. She had a daughter Rahel (1940–1984) by her third partner, but broke off her relationship with him while still pregnant and remained a single mother.
In 1933 the kibbutz pediatrician had sent her to Vienna to study early childhood care through gymnastics. There she encountered the renowned dancer Gertrude Kraus, whom she had met as a young girl in the gymnastics hall of Maccabi Vienna. She joined Kraus's company for performances in Vienna and when Kraus emigrated to Palestine in 1936 stayed with her for a short time to help her open a dance studio in Tel Aviv. At the beginning of the 1940s Bergstein returned to Kibbutz Bet Alfa, but after a split within the kibbutz she and a group of friends, who included Mattityahu Shelem, moved to Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan.
Bergstein and Shelem collaborated in creating original festivals for the holidays that developed at Ramat Yohanan. The ceremonies were enacted by the kibbutz members themselves, creating a feeling of innovation wherein every activity had about it a sense of rebirth and pioneering.
Bergstein and Shelem sought a way to depict the complex relationship between nature, a nation's cultural tradition and the new life in pre-state Israel in general and on the kibbutz in particular. Cultural creation, in their opinion, had to be carried out as part of building the national and societal basis of the country. Together, they created ceremonies for nature and labor festivals, of which the sheep-shearing festival at Bet Alfa was the first. Later, at Ramat Yohanan, they created other festival ceremonies, including the Omer, Tu bi-Shevat, the Festival of First Fruits, the Harvest Festival/Water Festival and the Wedding Celebration. Bergstein choreographed fifty-one festival dances, forty of them to music composed by Shelem; the best-known of these are Rov Berakhot (Many Blessings), Hen Yeronan (Thus shall we rejoice), Shibbolet ba-Sadeh (A Sheaf in the Field) and Shiru ha-Shir (Sing the Song). The uniqueness of Bergstein's work lay in the search for movements appropriate to the amateur kibbutz members, without forfeiting the full range of expression that the subject required.
Bergstein's dances derived from the feelings that arose within her when she listened to songs whose words and music had been written by Shelem. Usually she would teach her dances not to the entire kibbutz, but to one of her pupils, who would then pass it on to her friends; she would then ask them whether they found the dance comfortable and pleasant. Since no ancient dances had survived among the Jewish people, Bergstein decided that it was important to remain faithful to a broader tradition, a kind of general truth and universal body movement that found expression in all ancient dances. Another principle Bergstein developed was that a real-life experience that she herself had undergone should be at the root of all her dances. On the basis of these principles, Bergstein developed three groundrules for creativity:
1.	Emphasis on the idea—The subject of the dance should relate to the words of the song.
2.	Connection between form and content—The better the dance is performed, the clearer its content.
3.	Importance of audience participation in ceremonies, dances and songs and clad in festival costumes such as woven belts and brooches.
Bergstein's festival dances comprise ceremonial dances, dances of prayer and dances about the subjects of the festival itself, such as the grape harvest, shepherds, weddings and the like. The influence of Rudolf von Laban, of Anthroposophy and of the Zionist dream can be seen in her dances and in the design of the holiday pageants on Ramat Yohanan.
THE OMER FESTIVAL
The most outstanding of the festivals that Bergstein and Shelem designed was the Omer harvest festival on A seven-day festival to commemorate the Exodus from Egypt (eight days outside Israel) beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan. Also called the "Festival of Mazzot"; the "Festival of Spring"; Pesah.Passover eve, which marked the revival of the ancient formal cutting of the wheat on Passover eve. Though connected with the Biblical and Mishnaic festival, this was a completely original creation in which the entire A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.kibbutz took part, creating an impression of genuine feeling.
In her epic poem, One, the poet Anda Amir conveyed the impression made on her by the Omer Festival at Ramat Yohanan: "He will announce: this hour a covenant is made between the people of labor and the blessing of the earth." Gurit Kadman once said in the course of conversation: "The Omer Festival was the creation of the most original holiday in Israel, and the holiday dances are perhaps the most Israeli ones ever created."
THE HARVEST FESTIVAL
Celebrated at Lit. "booths." A seven-day festival (eight days outside Israel) beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei to commemorate the sukkot in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40-year sojourn in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt; Tabernacles; "Festival of the Harvest."Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles), this festival was also created at the beginning of the 1940s. Opening with the song Pit'hu She'arim (Open the Gates) and a dance to the song Rov Berakhot, it included songs and dances that expressed the joy of harvest and simhat beit ha-sho'eva (the festival of the water-drawing) in a dance with pitchers, the rousing wine-dance, and the heroic debka to Shelem's song Livshu-na Oz (Put On Strength). As Leah recollected: "It was a festival to mark the transition from summer to winter, the days between light and shadow, the red sun before sunset." The text and the blessings of the various branches of A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.kibbutz activity on the occasion of the harvest festival were written by the kindergarten teachers of Ramat Yohanan. Later, the name of the festival was changed to the Water Festival and it was celebrated around the Ramat Yohanan swimming pool.
THE FESTIVAL OF FIRST FRUITS (SHAVUOT)
During the 1940s Shelem and Bergstein created a ceremony for the Festival of First Fruits which began with the dance Kumu v'Na'ale (Let Us Arise and Ascend), depicting the pilgrimage of those who brought the first fruits to the steps of the Temple.
TU BI-SHEVAT
The ceremony created for Tu bi-Shevat, celebrating the buds of spring, presents the changes in nature, the sprouting shoots and blossoms.
THE WEDDING CEREMONY
Bergstein created a ceremony and dances for A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.kibbutz weddings. The kibbutz wedding celebration was a melding of word, sound and movement, combining Jewish wedding traditions from various ethnic communities with material from classical Jewish sources. The ceremony not only fulfilled the wishes of the bridal couple and their families, but was also a festival for the entire kibbutz.
THE DISSEMINATION OF BERGSTEIN'S DANCES
At the end of the 1940s and throughout the 1950s Bergstein conveyed her experience to others through the folk dance department of the Histadrut. She coordinated a group of young girls, the Ramat Yohanan Dance Troupe, which enabled her to choreograph more dances. The troupe appeared throughout the country, performing for soldiers during the War of Independence, at conferences and at the folk-dance festivals on A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.Kibbutz Daliyyah. It later became the flagship dance troupe of the A voluntary collective community, mainly agricultural, in which there is no private wealth and which is responsible for all the needs of its members and their families.kibbutzim of the Ihud ha-Kibbutzim and presented kibbutz dance at the State of Israel's tenth anniversary. When the group dissolved it was replaced by the Bnei ha-Ihud troupe, which worked with Bergstein at Ramat Yohanan.
The two troupes disseminated Bergstein's dances and her unique ideas throughout the country. She felt it was important to create a permanent tradition for the holidays and opposed changes even when younger people demanded them. In his book Folk Dances in Israel, Zevi Friedhaber maintained that under the influence of Bergstein and Shelem many agricultural settlements created a more or less uniform way of celebrating rural festivals in Israel.
Leah Bergstein, who concentrated on choreographing festival dances, for many years opposed folk dances created by choreographers, claiming that the process should remain natural. This was despite the fact that many of her own dances became folk dances and Masekhet ha-Omer (Omer Pageant) was even performed, in its entirety or in excerpts, at the national dance festival at Kibbutz Daliyyah and elsewhere. Her dances, which served as a source of inspiration for many folk-dance choreographers, are still danced today.
In an interview at the beginning of the 1980s Bergstein said, "God was always with me—that's life." She added: "Sometimes the heavens opened and stories, dances and music came to me. … I love you, bitter and sweet life. I thank you for the dances you gave me. Guard them well and preserve them, for they are a gift from heaven."

My grandfather, Josef Bergstein, came to the USA from Bolshovtsy, Galicia ca. 1900. My father was Harry Benjamin (Hersch-Behr) Bergstein, 1916-2003. I would like to know if I am related to Leah Bergstein or any of her other relations in Israel or elsewhere. Are there any photos of Leah Bergstein? Also, there may be other Bergstein family members who came to the US (via Josef Bergstein) in WWII and then went on to Palestine. My uncle was Aaron (also called Moshe) b. 1902, and I remember him talking about relatives in Palestine.
I'd so much appreciate any knowledge of this family you might share with me.

All my thoughts today are with the people of Boston, who are sitting at home and watching this manhunt coverage slowly unfold. If you're feeling helpless and want to find a way to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, Adidas is coming to the plate with one option. The retailer is selling a "Boston Stands as One" T-shirt, in which 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the One Fund Boston, an organization that was created to help those affected by the bombing. The shirt costs $26.20, a play on the marathon's distance of 26.2 miles.
"The selflessness and compassion demonstrated by the city of Boston, the first responders, the Boston Athletic Association, and all marathon volunteers in providing assistance to the injured have stuck with us and inspired us," Adidas America president Patrik Nilsson told WWD. "We commend Boston — and those associated with the city and the marathon — for their reaction to this very challenging situation. We applaud them for standing together as one on Monday and in the days which have followed."
The T-shirt is on sale on Adidas' website.
If I hear about more items that go on sale to benefit victims, I will update this post later today and throughout the weekend.

Redd, White, and Blue (Man, How Many Times Has That Been Used? Sorry About That.)
5:46 PM Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Michael Redd, Milwaukee Bucks, Tayshaun Prince, USA Basketball No comments
Many Bucks fans want to see Michael Redd in a different jersey next year, and that's something I could see going either way. One jersey he will be wearing, however, is that of USA Basketball. Redd, along with Tayshaun Prince, Chris Paul, and Dwayne Wade, were the first four players named to the latest version of the Dream Team. They'll be joining by eight other guys, with that announcement coming Monday.
Redd has had experience with the team before, turning in an impressive performance at the FIBA Americas tournament in Vegas last summer. I've been a critic of Redd's play on the Bucks this season, mainly because I dont think he's best suited when he's supposed to be the leader of a team. But in a role-player position where he can be the sharp-shooter beyond the arc? You won't find too many people better in the game.
I may not want him to be in a Bucks uniform, but I'm more than happy to have him representing our country.
If that makes any sense.

Protective effects of curcumin against gamma radiation-induced ileal mucosal damage
Akpolat M., KANTER M., Uzal C.
ARCHIVES OF TOXICOLOGY, cilt.83, ss.609-617, 2009 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Dergi Adı: ARCHIVES OF TOXICOLOGY
The major objective of this study was to test curcumin as a potential radioprotectant for the ileum goblet cells of the rat. Wistar albino rats were used in the study. Group A was the control group and group B was the single dose radiation group. Group C was the two dose radiation group (4 days interval). The rats in groups D and E were given a daily dose of 100 mg/kg of curcumin for 14 and 18 days, respectively. During the curcumin administration period, the rats in group D were exposed to abdominal area gamma (gamma)-ray dose of 5 Gy on the 10th day and group E was exposed to same dose radiation on the 10th and 14th day. Irradiation and treatment groups were decapitated on the 4th day after exposure to single or two-dose irradiation and ileum tissues were removed for light and electron microscopic investigation. Single or two dose 5 Gy gamma-irradiation caused a marked intestinal mucosal injury in rats on the 4th day. Radiation produced increases in the number of goblet cells. Curcumin appears to have protective effects against radiation-induced damage, suggesting that clinical transfer is feasible.

That's how much the contract of a small energy company from Montana was allowed to bill the Puerto Rican public power company per lineman per hour. That's an exceptional rate — even for emergency work — about 17 times the average salary of a local lineman. The linemen themselves were making way less than that: $42 per hour plus overtime for some electrical workers, $63 per hour for a group of senior workers and up to $100 per hour for other workers on double time. [The New York Times]
That's the approximate market value of Mattel, less than half of the $11 billion valuation of Hasbro. The two biggest U.S. toymakers may come together, as Hasbro has reportedly made a takeover offer.

Do not fall into the trap that is the holiday lull however, now is a great time finish the year off with a bang and ensure that your treadmill will be at the same speed when you get back from your break.
Plan out your professional deliverables for Q1 - what you want to achieve or learn, or who you want to meet etc.
Take an unfamiliar colleague that is also stuck on your lonely island to lunch/coffee to learn more about a different side of your department/company. It beats having yet another shrink wrapped "Christmas sandwich" all by yourself.
Training! While the demands on your time are low, it's a perfect opportunity learn something new or get better at something you think you know. Check to see if your company has online training available (i.e. Excel 101, Intermediate PowerPoint etc). If your company can give you a certificate, great, if not, then you can surprise them with your new skills in the new year. Should any trainers or IT people be sticking around, try to tap their knowledge as well.
I was going to add a fourth, but it's the holidays and I'm going to the beach!! Happy Holidays!!

Kas lies in the middle of an area with several interesting historical places such as Demre, Myra and Xanthos in the south-east of Turkey. Around the island Kekova lies the sunken cities. These can be visit by glass boat.
From Kas, stretching out into the sea, is the narrow Cukurbag peninsula with a beautiful nature and modern holiday hotels and apartments. One can enjoy the nearest beaches of Kas (Buyuk Cakil, Kucuk Cakil, Akcagerme), but in addition shuttle-boats take the tourists to the beautiful Cayagzı beach. Opposite Kas is the Greek Island of Meyisti. Kas is one of the most popular holiday diving places in Turkey.
Kas in Turkey is a favourite stopover for the blue voyagers, but it is also a very nice place to spent a great holiday. Kas offers most lively night life during your holiday with the numerous terraced bars and restaurants.
Although there is not much left of Phellos (remains of the city wall, sarcophagi and rock cut Lycian tombs, a free standing house - type tomb), it is worth seeing the beauty of its surrounding landscapes. The site can be reached either by foot (12 km / 7.5 miles trek) or by car towards Cukurbag - Pinarbası.
Between Kas and Kekova, we see a number of ancient minor inland cities such as Isinda, near the village of Belenli, Aperlae and Apollonia, near the village of Kiliçli.
The town Kas in Turkey was originally called Habesos or Habesa in the ancient tongue of Lycia and later was given the name Antiphellos. It is one of the oldest settlements in the region of Lycia. Most of the ancient settlement is now covered by the modern town of Kas.
The rock-cut tombs to the north-east of Kas date to the 4th century B.C.On a rise between the open sea and the hill. This was probably the acropolis of the ancient city, lies a rock tomb formed like a Doric structure with Doric triglyphs on the facade. Inside the tomb is to be found a frieze of dancing female figures.
The acropolis of Kas was surrounded by a fortified wall. No traces were found on the northern or western slopes. To the west of the modern town stands the ancient theater overlooking the sea. This structure possesses a remarkable view.
It was constructed of local limestone and today the tribunes and outer walls of Kas are still visible although no trace of the skene is left. On the western edge of the acropolis are traces of a temple. Tombs of the Roman period scattered about the town and along the coast.
The ruins of Antiphellos are spread around the town of Kas, and lies at the neck of a small peninsula in the Mediterranean. Its location makes it one of the most beautiful sites on the south-west Anatolian coast. From what we can glean from Pliny, the original Lycian name of this ancient city was Habesos. Later written sources however, give the city's name as Antiphellos.
It is agreed that Antiphellos was a small port linked to neighbouring Phellos, some 7-8 km. to the north as the crow flies. The term "phellos" means "rocky place" in Greek. Antiphellos means "opposite the rocky place".
Because there was an increase in trade contacts from Hellenistic times onwards, Antiphellos gained special importance as a port for the export of the region's timber. Bearing in mind the difficulty of land communications and the perpetual scarcity of suitable arable land around it, it is certain that this town never became a large city.
In spite of the fact that it was established in a place open to attack and difficult to defend, there is no trace of city walls on the landward side. The only extant remains of fortifications consist of rectangular walls of Hellenistic date that run the length of the shore. An ancient breakwater lies more or less below the foundations of today's harbour has been completely destroyed. Behind the harbour, on the road to the Cukurbag peninsula, we see the remains of a temple foundation. This temple is constructed of ashlar masonry, dates to the first century B.C. Going from the temple directly west, one comes across a lovely little theatre of Hellenistic type capable of seating approximately 3.000 people. There is no diazoma in the cavea, which is comprised of 26 tiers of wooden stage. There is an exit and an entrance to the stage on two sides.
A tomb in the Doric order carved from living rock is situated north-east of the theatre in Kas. In the funerary chamber, that can be entered by a high door, are three benches. That directly opposite the door is decorated with a frieze having to do with funeral rites; it depicts 25 female figures, dancing hand-in-hand. The sides of the benches are embellished with rosettes and oyster shell motifs. These features indicate a fourth century B.C. date. Other tombs in a variety of forms are found on the town's northern slopes.
An important monument of Kas worth visiting because of its regional architectural characteristics, in the Lycian tomb on Uzuncarsı Caddesi. This monument, which has become the symbol of Kas, is a single-doored hyposorium, which together with the thick base surmounting it, is carved from the solid rock. Above this is the sarcophagus itself, which is cut from a separate piece of stone and its lid. Two lions' heads resting on their paws are carved on each of the lid's two long sides. In addition to providing decoration the lions' heads also facilitated lifting the lid and placing it on top of the sarcophagus. Male and female figures connected with funerary observances can be made out on the narrow western face, which is divided into four panels. On the tomb's base is an eight-line Lycian inscription. The monument dates to the fourth century B.C. It has a long inscription in the Lycian language which has not been deciphered yet, like the one on the Xanthos monolith. This sarcophagus stands at the upper end of Uzun Carsı Street which is lined by traditional Turkish architecture houses, carpet and souvenir shops.


Do you ever get outfit inspiration from unusual sources? This outfit was inspired by my dog's cute gray and camo sweatshirt!
Cathy of (Bay Area Fashiontista) and I had planned to meet for brunch at Santana Row, an upscale outside mall close to us. I couldn't think of what to wear and I dressed Lucky first and then decided to try to use his cute sweatershirt (gray with a camo skull) as a jumping off point. Do you ever get outfit inspiration from unusual places?
I got out my camo tee, a great basic that I've had for years, added my long gray cardigan which was a Nordstrom anniversary sale find, and my Madewell full leg cropped pants. I love these cool jeans, but to be honest, they're not the most flattering on my … umm … junk in the trunk! I feel cuter in them with a long cardigan or coat. I added some fishnets and booties, such an easy and fun way to make any outfit feel more trendy right now.
