    Before I go… Posted on June 5, 2016 by onyxandsand 6 am I woke up this morning determined. I pushed past the sleepiness, exhaustion, and anxiety and put on my workout clothes. I was not letting a beautiful 70 degree sunshine-filled day go to waste. I grabbed my new camera and set off into the calm and quiet morning. The streets were not yet bustling with late employees, so honking was at a minimum, I walked lengths upwards the usual trek to a monastery near my parents home. It’s a place I go to in order to receive the maximum amount of unity between nature and spirituality, two things I consider great treasures. The monastery is a convenient walk and my mom, sister, and I usually go whenever I used to live at home. But today, I went on my own to deal with my personal issues. I am leaving this country for the first time in my life, and to a place that isn’t necessarily the first you’d think of for a new traveller. Amman, Jordan is located right under Syria, beside Israel, and not too far from Egypt. And if you have been monitoring a screen the past year, the issue of ISIS persists and there are refugees flooding nearby countries in order to seek asylum. I know I am only going for an intensive Arabic immersion program, however, I know that with an opportunity like this there is mounting pressure on me to do above and beyond what I am actually going for.

  • Ambiguity Resolution in Lateralized Arabic
    Read Writ (2015) 28:395-418 DOI 10.1007/s11145-014-9530-3 Ambiguity resolution in lateralized Arabic Manar Hayadre · Dennis Kurzon · Orna Peleg · Eviatar Zohar Published online: 12 November 2014 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract We examined ambiguity resolution in reading in Arabic. Arabic is an abjad orthography and is morphologically similar to Hebrew. However, Arabic literacy occurs in a diglossic context, and its orthography is more visually complex than Hebrew. We therefore tested to see whether hemispheric differences will be similar or different from previous findings in Hebrew. We also tested whether phonological recoding is a mandatory stage in reading Arabic. We used a divided visual field paradigm, where 32 participants performed semantic decisions on pairs of words in which the first word (presented centrally) was either a homophone (bank), heterophone (tear), or unambiguous. The second word was presented in the left, right, or central visual field. The results revealed larger effects of ambiguity for heterophones than for homophones in all conditions, and thus support the contention that phonological recoding is mandatory in reading Arabic. Hemispheric patterns were different from those found with Hebrew, and were similar in the peripheral visual fields, which can be interpreted as indicating a single processor, with the pattern indicating that this processor is the LH. The alternative hypothesis is that interhemispheric integration occurs in all conditions. The implications of these results for reading in Arabic are discussed.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • Ebook Download Classic Palestinian Cuisine
    CLASSIC PALESTINIAN CUISINE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Christiane Dabdoub Nasser | 208 pages | 24 Jul 2013 | SAQI BOOKS | 9780863568442 | English | London, United Kingdom Classic Palestinian Cuisine PDF Book Sayadiah , a golden fish and rice dish, with fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. A journalist traveling in Palestine and living in the West Bank looks at the plight of the Palestinian people and the comments on the current state of Jewish-Arab relations in the region. It consists of a roasted chicken over taboon bread that has been topped with pieces of fried sweet onions, sumac, allspice and pine nuts. Battir is the antithesis of industrial farming, because its crops evolved according to real conditions: topography, microclimate, water, and most importantly for Sansour, people. Kassis is working on her second book, about modern Arabic cooking, and found examining the past — how recipes evolved in Palestine and the surrounding regions — crucial to giving shape to the notion of a people and its food. Masgoof is made with fire grilled "shabbout" fish unique to the Tigris River, served with lemon slices. Before we know it, a tray laden with fresh-looking starters arrives, carrying more than what we ordered, testament to Palestinian generosity and hospitality. Ramadan is the only period during which the restaurant is primarily visited by Egyptians, who come in large numbers to break-fast there with Palestinian food. A dish native to the Gaza area is sumaghiyyeh , consisting of water-soaked ground sumac mixed with tahina. I know now not to let anyone interpret for me what it means to be Palestinian.

There were no guides, or advisors who clarified the path for me and explained the steps that are needed to be taken in order to accomplish such a task. I was on my own and struggled to get my research formulated. I had approached an instructor to help supervise and advise. Even though he is the individual who motivated this research topic and my interests in the field, he was quite vague in regards to the process that I should undertake as an undergraduate.

  • Internationales Kochbuch
    1 2 ´´We are the same in our differences`` Peer-Leader-International 3 Introduction Recently I spoke with an old lady. She was complaining that in her town she cannot find a single German restaurant any more. She is nearly right. Even 220 km around villages you find snack bars or restaurants from minimum 10 countries: from Greece, Turkey, US, Italy, Croatia China etc. People cook German food at home. It means Globalisation at its best: Take the best of all cultures, enjoy diversity without cutting your roots. Recently we were in a seminar in Bosnia with German Peers. They served Polenta, a maize-meal. Our people did not know it and I suggested they were spoiled by Hamburgers and Pizza-culture. I asked them about their favourite meals and I was surprised: very local one, Mama`s kitchen. The ingredients come from all over the world and they are seen as being “local”: the coffee, the tea, chocolate, Coke….It`s OK. But is NOT OK, that we in Europe want to have everything from everywhere anytime. Strawberries in winter come from industrial agriculture, some potatoes come via airplane from Egypt. It is more clever to use seasonal products, local products, fair-trade products, healthy stuff. Therefore we tried to understand questions of international food-industry, climate change, fair-trade campaigns etc. Since 2015 we had a lot of new young people around us: from Syria, Afghanistan, from Iraq. They did not speak German, but we tried to find out about their culture and their favourites including food. They told us and we started to cook with them, to understand, to enjoy.
