In case you are not familiar with some of the work Bnai Zion does, we would like to take a moment of your time to introduce you to Ahava Village for Children & Youth in Kiryat Bialik (ISRAEL) Ahava is a residential center for children ages 6-18 coming from high-risk domestic situations. Comprised of 15 apartments, educational facilities and leisure areas, the campus is home to over 200 children who receive personalized care, support, education, therapy and training. The children attend school in the village and live in apartments with foster parents in a nurturing family setting. Ahava was originally established in Berlin as a home for Jewish orphans. In 1938, with the Holocaust imminent, Ahava was relocated to then-Palestine with a group of fifty European children. Since then, Ahava has become a refuge for children in need where violence, abuse, crime and addiction were prevalent in their homes. In Israel there are children who need to be placed in foster care who are able to have a stable and productive youth. In Israel there are also children from worst-case dysfunctional environments who cannot be placed through the regular foster care system. These are the children at Ahava, who need more specialized care and treatment to heal from their troubled past. Ahava is also home to many alumni now proudly serving in the IDF who do not have their own families to return to. In special apartments for soldiers, these young adults have a warm and comforting environment for when …
Cumberland, OH — Four years of work by a team of scientists, veterinarians, animal care specialists and interns from the Wilds and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) have culminated in the birth of two rare Persian onagers (pronounced on-uh-ger). The foals, born at the Wilds on June 28, 2010 and July 9, 2010, are the first wild equids of any species to be born using artificial insemination. One foal was produced using semen that had previously been frozen, another scientific “first.” Scientists spent two years at the Wilds learning about the normal reproductive biology of onagers that until now had largely gone unstudied. The project led by Mandi Vick, a post-doctoral fellow at the Wilds and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Virginia, included developing non-invasive hormone monitoring to follow the normal reproductive cycles and semen cryopreservation (freezing) and storage–research that was essential to the successful breeding of the onagers. “It is amazing when you take a step back and realize all of the hard work, enthusiasm and expertise that go into understanding the uniqueness of how each species reproduces and how scientific technologies can be applied to ensure sustainable populations,” said Vick, now Associate Curator of Research at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. “This work demonstrates the power of science for improving our ability to manage and conserve not only Persian onagers, but also other species of endangered equids …

ANCHOR: Well, if you aren’t planning for your old age, car designers in Japan are. Carmaker Nissan Motor Company is using a specialized driver’s suit and goggles to simulate symptoms of old age. Symptoms like bad balance, a stiff neck, weak eyesight and even extra weight issues that may affect older drivers are being tested. Here’s more: STORY: Japanese car makers want to make a car suitable for senior citizens. Nissan’s Associate Chief Designer says that this specially designed suit helps improve functionality and accessibility within cars. Young designers wear the suit to better understand the needs of elderly drivers. [Etsuhiro Watanabe, Nissan Associate Chief Designer]: “By using the aging suit, our designers get to experience what it’s like for the elderly to drive.” Nissan says the suit and glasses help decide dashboard angling andvisibility, as well as driver space and support. Another designer at Nissan, after going for a test drive, admitted that it’s very difficult to drive with the suit on. [Naoki Yamamoto, Nissan Designer]: “You lose the freedom you are accustomed to, and while you can move, there are limitations on mobility, such as turning the steering wheel or switching on the blinker.” However this type of design technology is not just for the elderly. It is useful in helping larger drivers who also have space and mobility needs.

retirement.personalloandebt.info A Specialized Planner: Military Retirement Calculator Retirement savings calculators are a great tool for individuals to use in order to determine if they are on the right track for their retirement savings needs and goals. Social security is usually not enough money for most individuals to live on at retirement, at least not to live at their current status of living, so planning ahead for retirement by implementing savings plans is the best way to be certain to have enough when retirement age is reached. Although these calculators are a great tool to use, they are usually not enough to give individuals a full picture of what they need to be doing for their retirement, so going to a financial adviser after consulting a retirement calculator is usually a good idea to make sure everything is indeed on the right track. Military For those who have served in the military through the years, in whatever capacity and for whatever length of time the service was, there is the need for a specific military retirement calculator to take into account the conditions that are specific to military service. There are different types of military retirement calculators depending on the individual’s needs. One type of military retirement calculator that is the most basic is the final pay retirement calculator which only takes into account the year the person is going to retire, the years of service he has put in, the pay grad at retirement, the inflation rate …
