An assortment of Radiacs
Tom Jennings, 1997
revised, 6 Feb 2000
'Radiac', or sometimes 'radiacmeter', is the generic word for radiation detection and measurement equipment, in the context of human hazard avoidance. Pocket dosimeters, hand-held, permanently-fixed, mobile and other devices are included.
I have no idea how I ended up collecting this stuff. Some of it is intrinsically interesting, some I bought to pilfer for parts (the Canadian Admiral survey meters, for instance) but once under way, I started rounding out the pile.
Pocket dosimeters
There are a number of different types of portable "pocket" dosimeters: the electrometer type, described below; portable ionization chambers, film badges, and activated glass dosimeters, such as the DT-60 described further on. Only the pocket electrometer is direct-reading, eg. dosage readable without external equipment. Very generally speaking, professionals get direct reading dosimeters, and everyone else gets film badges, etc.
The dosimeters shown below are tiny electrometers, a compact version of the ones you might remember from grade-school science; two extremely thin leafs of metal, which when charged with static electricity, repel each other and swing apart.
A pocket electrometer dosimeter uses single a 5 micron diameter quartz fiber plated with metal, on a tiny pivot, instead of two thin leafs. Inside is an equally tiny chart, calibrated (generally) in Roentgens; by holding the bottom of the dosimeter up to a bright light peering through the built-in microscope in the top you can see the fiber's current position over the chart.
Inside it works as follows: the dosimeter is first charged with an external high-voltage source (see photos 2, 3, 4, 5), which serves the same purpose as charging the school electrometer with a wool-rubbed rod; this causes the fiber to swing away; the charge is adjusted to make the fiber swing to "zero" on the calibrated chart.
Radiation (gamma rays) passing through the electrometer -- and presumably the human wearer -- dissipates some of that charge, which causes the fiber to swing back to its resting state. As more charge is dissipated by gamma energy, the more the fiber swings to the right end of the chart, indicating higher and higher dosage. (It measures accumulated dosage, since a long exposure to a weak gamma source measures the same as a brief exposure to a stronger source -- both remove the same amount of charge from the fiber.)
Pocket electrometer dosimeters in the current form have been in use at least since the late 40's. The original design was by Dr. F.R. Shonka of the Argonne National Laboratory. Here's a schematic of the innards, taken from Radiological Defense, vol. IV.
Photo 1, L to R: U.S. Civil Defense issue, Bendix #CD V-74, 0-200R, circa 1965; Civil Defense, Landsverk CD V-138, unusual 0-200 mR, ca. 1965; commercial radiacmeter, 0-200R, used at Lockheed(?), Mil. Spec. IM-93A/UD, Landsverk 4596-PP-61, date unknown; Canadian civil defense ("E.M.O.") CCD-200, 0-200R, made by Landsverk, early 60's; military issue radiacmeter IM-143/PD, date unknown, calibrated 0-600R (ouch!).
I routinely use the milliroentgen-range dosimeter in my radiation projects.
Civil Defense pocket electrometer dosimeter charger
This is more or less representative of the standard charger for pocket electrometer dosimeters, containing a transistorized high voltage source to charge the electrometer. These were in use in the early 60's.
All pocket electrometer dosimeters work in the following manner: The charging end of the dosimeter is pressed firmly onto the contact on the upper left corner of the charger. The contact is made of transparent plastic with a metal electrode in the center. Pressing down turns the charger on, and a lamp illuminates the electrometer microscope so that the operator can turn the knob on the charger, adjusting the charge placed on the electrometer to cause the fiber to swing to the "0" position.
Various pocket electrometer dosimeter chargers
These are physically and electrically similar to photo 2, probably all copying some original military contract or design. They differ only in the slightest details. See photo 2 for details of operation.
Photo 3, clockwise, from upper left: Canadian civil defense, Mil. Spec. PP5120/PD, made by Canadian Admiral, early 60's vintage (serviced June 66); commercial, Bendix #906-2, ca. early 60's; commercial, Landsverk Model L-136, s/n 112, early 60's.
I use a PP5120/PD to charge my milliroentgen dosimeter.
Antique pocket electrometer dosimeter charger
This Keleket Charging Unit Model K-125, s/n 237, uses an obsolete high-voltage battery instead of a transistor oscillator, though the principle of operation is the same as the others; it dates from the late 40's. This low serial-number model is probably quite old.
Military field electrometer dosimeter charger
Shown with its web belt carrying case, this incredibly rugged non-electronic charger contains a piezoelectric crystal and a mirrored light pipe. The dosimeter is pressed onto the charger's electrode with one hand, and the "X"-shaped knob is turned with the other, while pointing at the sun for a light source with another hand, while peering into the dosimeter. Turning the knob flexes the crystal which generates pulses of voltage to charge the dosimeter. While in principle easy to operate, it requires impressive gymnastics to actually pull off, and the light source better be full sunlight as the light pipe is not exactly efficient. Whew. But it requires no batteries, good for when you're living in a bombed-out basement, chewing dead rats and waiting for it to be safe to come out.
Pocket dosimeter, DT-60/PD
These are very inexpensive dosimeters worn pinned to clothing, consisting of a piece of lithium-doped glass, inside a plastic and lead container. Gamma radiation impinging on the glass "activates" certain components of the glass, which then glow extremely faintly when later illuminated with ultraviolet light; this faint glow is read by a 'Radiac Computer-Indicator', CP-95A/PD. The DT-60's have the advantage (sic) that unlike pocket electrometer dosimeters, the wearer cannot read their exposure, since it requires a CP-95A.
Photo 6, L to R: DT-60A/PD, an ordinary safety pin passes through a hole on the protrusion on the side; the square of activated glass in the lower screw-on case; the lead shield with a hole in the top half of the case.
DT-60's were made at least by Corning Glass Works and Polaroid Corp, in 1951. They are not mentioned in AFSWP 'RADIOLOGICAL DEFENSE' dated Jan 1950; I believe they were deployed first by the Navy in 1954.
NOTE: I have cornered the free world's supply of DT-60's, new wrapped in original wrapping paper, and can supply a copy of the manufacturers data sheet; willing to trade for...?
CP-95A/PD, Radiac Computer-Indicator, reads DT-60's
I do not have a CP-95A/PD Radiac Computer-Indicator, but I do have the instruction book, approval date 10 June 55; a scan of a bad photo from it is shown below. It consists of a light-tight chamber containing a UV lamp, photomultiplier tube, associated electronics (tubes) and batteries necessary to read the DT-60's.
NOTE 6 Feb 2000: I now have a CP-95, complete, but with leaky capacitors. I'll eventually get it working and put a photo here. Don't hold your breath though.
Photo 6a
U.S. Civil Defense survey meter ("geiger counter") and accessories.
This is the legendary geiger counter, issued in one form or another to Civil Defense authorities in the 50's and 60's. This is a relatively recent model, late 60's. It is transistorized (quaint word, meaning originally designed for vaccuum tube circuitry). Not spectacularly accurate, but a decent go/no-go checker.
Photo 10, clockwise, from upper left: A pocket dosimeter, described in photo 1; hang-off-the-side accessory loudspeaker for the survey meter; the dosimeter charger described in photo 2; incredibly uncomfortable headphones; the survey meter itself, with the Geiger/Mueller tube unsnapped from the handle; the Geiger/Mueller tube on its cable, with the beta-particle window open.
The survey meter also has a tiny Cesium-137 source fastened to the side for 'calibration' (eg. checking), sufficiently small to be safe to humans unless ingested or fastened to reproductive organs for extended periods.
Radiation dosage calculator
This cheerful device is a circular slide rule, a nomograph used to calculate safe dosage, based upon bomb yield, time since blast, distance, etc. It has different disks for land and sea conditions. I believe it to be Canadian military. I can't imagine this thing was more than a comfort talisman, 'cause if the commander says march, I'm sure the troops just marched, period, wearing their DT-60's. It is optimistically labelled "Radiac Calculator No. 1" (there are more?), made by BRL, Weymouth, England, ref. no. 6665-99-911-0060. It comes with a lovely plastic case in de rigeur kahki vinyl.
U.S. military high-range gamma counter
This scary device is simply a higher-range geiger counter in a very rugged case with a heavy duty protective canvas case, strap, and vinyl window. With a range of 0-500R/hr, I wouldn't want to be its operator in the field.
Photo 13: Proportional counter tube. Actually, I have two of these. They are both hand-made, steel tubes with glass seal and brass hardware, with an India inked paper label. The older of the two reads 'Mark 17 Model 13, Type N, No. V423. METALLURGICAL LAB. University of Chicago, DATE 8/26/46'. The Metallurgical Laboratory was the euphemistic name of Fermi's then-secret wartime lab, where the first uranium pile was built. This counter tube very possibly was made by the same people, since it's dated less than four years after the pile went critical, and about 14 months after the Trinity test. On some PBS documentary on the Manhattan Project, there was a rack of these exact tubes sitting on Fermi's desk!
The other counter tube, not shown above, is labelled 'Mark 17, Model 13, Type N, No. V225, INSTRUMENT DIVISION Argonne National Lab. DATE usa 62308'; the encoded date is somewhat inscrutable, but if '6' means 1946, '2308' may be 23 Aug. The tube was enclosed with an ancient characteristic plot of the same mark/model/number tube, dated in pencil 1949. [NOTE: A reader tells me the date code is likely a military format of YYDDD (eg. the code above means day 308 of year 62). But this isn't a military instrument; though ANL's works is mostly of military interest it's a lab, and this tube is definitely lab-made. There's the circumstantial evidence of it being in the same box with the unambiguously dated tube (further above), but it's too odd that it is physically identical, and has the 1949 graph plot attached. So the mystery remains.]
Funny enough the older tube still operates OK, even though some crud now rattles around inside.
Canadian civil defense survey meter
A very nice survey meter, of 60's design. Exact date is unknown, though it was serviced in 1973. It contains two Geiger/Mueller tubes, one for each range (high/low) and a nice cast aluminum case. They're modern enough to be quite usable today, assuming of course you have anything to measure (though if you are serious, you should buy a modern survey meter such as the Radalert.
Photo 14 "Low Range Survey Meter", Model CCD 100-10, made by Canadian Admiral Corp. Ltd., s/n 623. Range: 1-100mR/hr, .1-10R/hr.
Radiac Set AN/PDR-39A
An early hand-held survey meter. The size of a large lunch pail, it contains a half-dozen batteries of now-bizarre voltages (67-1/2V, 45V, etc, common in the late 50's/early 60's in portable radios) powering a vaccuum tube survey meter and a large-volume (2"x4"x5") ionization chamber. In fair shape, I haven't cleaned this one up or tried to operate it, and due to the battery problem, likely never will. It once contained a tiny radioactive calibration source, probably removed when decommissioned.
These were probably deployed for many years; though this is the only one I've seen, they are common in science-fiction and Civil Defense films. The design is quite nice, other than the overall bulk.

LASL Model 201 Integrating Dosimeter
This is a stationary, as opposed to portable, dosimeter, intended to be mounted in equipment or room. Of unknown vintage, likely 60's, of no particular import other than the incredibly cool LASLdecal: white and blue oval, an Erlenmyer flask with vapors drifting out towards a mushroom cloud with the silhouette of a bomber superimposed, and the still-current graphic of a gamma photon dislodging nuclear particles in black over the flask. Text reads: 'Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory J-11' the latter is the project title. I believe the J section was the bomb group -- excuse me, 'explosive-driven metal systems' group.
Photo 19, showing decal
Radiac Set AN/PDR-63
A reasonably modern radiac kit, containing a survey meter head, two detectors, headphones, etc in a foam-lined carrying case, complete with technical manual. It was last calibrated 24 May 1994, and the Navy Approval Date is 2 Apr 71. It was made by Nucor Corp, Denville NJ. The components are shown with their web-belt pouches removed.

Photo 23, AN/PDR-63 components, clockwise from lower left: IM-508 High-Range Detector; PP-6597 Battery Charger; technical manual.
Plastic scintillator/PMT assembly
I don't know why this should be here, but questions like that will come to no good. This is one of two surplus gamma detection/spectroscopy detectors I'm using to build a 2-dimensional gamma telescope. It looks like hell because I light-sealed the welded seams with black paint.
Photo 24 Inside is a 5"x6" plastic scintillator (type unknown) with a generic RCA photomultiplier tube stuck to one end. Plastic should be OK for this application since I'm only interested in detecting the presence of high-energy (MeV) gamma photons. Or so I hope.
Boron-line Neutron Counter tube
An old, never-used, proportional counter tube used to detect neutrons. The inside of the tube is coated with boron, which generates secondary electrons when struck with neutrons. Since replaced with more efficient designs.
Photo 25, 10-B lined Neutron Counter made for AEC by General Electric, Contract #AT-(30-1)-419. tested "OK" on 27 Apr 1955.
Photo 26: NE-102 scintillation plastic
Actually fairly interesting stuff, this is pretty ordinary-looking plastic that 'scintillates' -- gives off energy in the visible range when its molecules are excited with higher energies, such as X-ray or gamma photons. It's interesting because you can see a faint violet glow inside the water-clear plastic, in bright sunlight -- though oddly, it photographs as faintly yellow, as shown here, which may be an artifact of the film processor.
IM-179 pocket survey meter
Of shockingly poor quality, this AF-contracted pocket survey meter is very simple -- one READ button, one TEST BUTTON, and a logarithmic scale reading .02 to 200 R/hr. Unfortunately it takes odd, unknown batteries.
The legend on the front reads: "GREEN: Travel permissible. [.02-2R/hr] AMBER: 8-10 Hours exposure permitted [2-20R/hr] RED: Take cover. Check reading every 6 hours until in green [20-200R/hr]."
Photo 27 IM-179, s/n B6755, made by Nucor (Nuclear Corp. of America), Denville NJ. AF Contract #AF 41(608)-35976.
Radalert 'Nuclear Radiation Monitor' aka survey meter
A very lovely, modern, pocket survey meter. I bought this new from Real Goods Trading Co. Inc for around $400. I use it for live-monitoring my radiation lab as well as checking surplus equipment for unpleasant surprises, and for checking environmental stuff. It has an LCD display, counts/minute and total-count modes, and an alert mode that beeps upon reaching a level set by trimpot switches. It also produces an LS TTL pulse output and accepts external power.

High Court ruling will help reduce alcohol harm
Friday 11 November 2016Media release3 minutes to read
Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey is welcoming a High Court ruling as a landmark case that will help reduce alcohol harm nationally.
Dr Humphrey had appealed a decision by the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority, which had permitted South City New World and Bishopdale New World supermarkets to display alcohol at the end of supermarket aisles, reversing an earlier decision by the Christchurch District Licensing Committee.
The Christchurch District Licensing Committee had initially restricted the alcohol display area at Bishopdale New World Supermarket after considering submissions from the Police, the Medical Officer of Health and the District Licensing Inspector.
Dr Humphrey says the ruling makes it clear that under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, supermarkets and grocery stores must restrict the display of alcohol to a single area helping achieve the purpose of the Act, which is to minimise harm caused by excessive consumption of alcohol.
"The decision recognises the harm exposure to alcohol causes our community. Alcohol does cause harm, and the Act is there not to ban it, but to help minimise the harm it causes," he says.
"Justice Gendall's careful and detailed decision acknowledges this and sets a legal precedent which supermarkets and grocery stores in New Zealand will need to consider closely before applying for off licences."
Dr Humphrey says the sales of supermarket products are boosted by measures such as shelf positioning and end-of-aisle displays, and the impact of such measures on impulse purchases like alcohol are even more pronounced.
"The more people are exposed to alcohol, the more they buy; the more they buy, the more they consume; the more they consume the greater the harm.
"The cost of alcohol harm in New Zealand is more than $5 billion a year, but our revenue from excise tax is a little over $1billion[1]. It seems unfair that the ordinary New Zealand tax payer should subsidise the alcohol industry."
Dr Humphrey has commended the design of some new supermarkets, which are being built in a way that is helping to reduce alcohol exposure.
"It's really pleasing to see that some of the new supermarkets being built are taking their responsibilities seriously and building completely separate areas for selling alcohol. This ruling will help make this kind of separation the norm in New Zealand," Dr Humphrey says.
Read the ruling from the High Court on alcohol displays in Christchurch supermarkets.

Twitter and A2J: A Surprisingly Happy Partnership
Published on March 27, 2014 by scaccesstojustice2 Comments
Just happened to get on Twitter this a.m. for an early morning review of happenings in the Access to Justice (A2J) world, when I noticed a tweet from my colleague in Georgia, Mike Monahan, whose Twitter handle is @ProBono_GA. He retweeted a fellow named Damon Elmore (@bikeGAcounties) who is cycling every county in Georgia to raise money for Georgia Legal Services.
** Fun Fact: There are 159 counties in Georgia. For a full listing, visit http://georgia.gov/municipality-list **
I was blown away by this clever idea. Not only is it a great way to stay in shape with fun exercise, it is a great way to highlight the need for legal services throughout the state.
So, what did I do next? I tweeted, of course:
SC Access to Justice @SCATJ
Just saw @bikeGAcounties is biking every county in Georgia to raise money for @GeorgiaLegal – Great idea! Check it out and support him
And, after? I donated to the cause. As of this morning, he has raised $3140. His goal is to raise $15900 or $100 per county with all donations going directly to Georgia Legal Services.
~ rfw
P.S. – As a bonus, he did mention he was born in Beaufort, South Carolina. Maybe when he's completed his goal in Georgia, we could convince him to visit our 46 counties.

Let's talk about Pro Bono
I have written about Pro Bono legal representation on different occasions, especially during or near the ABA's National Celebrate Pro Bono Week. Here in South Carolina, I've seen more discussion about it, and even a little more participation.
But, I still don't see as much participation as I would expect. So I have a question for attorneys, paralegals, and law students:
If you are not regularly engaged in pro bono representation, why not?
Please add your comments below. No expletives please. And, I'd like your honest answers.
Have you been asked?
Do you know where to find opportunities?
Are you nervous to do so on your own?
Do you think you don't have enough time to add another case?

Guest Post from SC Center for Fathers and Families
Published on November 9, 2012 by scaccesstojustice1 Comment
This is a reprint of an article appearing in the SC Center for Fathers and Families enewsletter.
Civil contempt findings will no longer appear on SLED records
The South Carolina Attorney General recently issued an opinion that civil contempt findings should not appear on South Carolina Law Enforcement criminal background checks. This opinion will have a favorable impact on non-custodial parents who have been found in civil contempt for failure to pay child support and have had the finding entered into their criminal record. Although civil contempt is not a crime, procedures at SLED did not allow these actions to be excluded from the records. The procedures for expungement only applied to criminal cases.
The Center for Fathers and Families has long advocated for changes in policies and practices that though well-intended created roadblocks for non-custodial parents, mostly fathers, being able to provide for their children. This practice of recording civil findings in a criminal background record was one such unnecessary barrier.
The Center had several concerns.
First, a criminal background is often a barrier to employment and because civil contempt findings appeared on the criminal background checks, employers viewed it as a criminal offense. Gaining and maintaining employment is critical to having the financial means to meet a child support obligation.
Second, only individuals who were found in contempt of non-payment of child support and were fingerprinted had the civil contempt entered into their criminal record.
Finally, the practice of fingerprinting individuals found in contempt and forwarding those records to SLED was inconsistently applied across the state. Because SC Legal Services shared these concerns, The Center and SC Legal Services partnered to address this growing problem.
A non-custodial parent, and in this case a mother, requested SC Legal Services' assistance to have her more recent civil contempt for failure to pay child support removed from her SLED criminal record. Her criminal record included some criminal offenses, but these were very old and ironically were not hindering her employment chances as much as the recent incarceration for failure to pay child support. This case highlighted the problem of civil contempt on criminal records and its impact on individuals' employment opportunities.
SC Legal Services submitted a written request to SLED for the removal of the civil contempt and the request was denied. SLED procedures were to record any offense that was a "fingerprintable" action and the expungement process could not be used because it was a civil, not a criminal, action. However, because this case demonstrated the problem of civil contempt in individuals' criminal records and the lack of internal procedures at SLED to address removal of civil contempt findings, SC Legal Services Lead Employment Attorney Jack Cohoon filed an Administrative Appeal to SLED's Criminal History Administrative Appeal Board. SLED then requested an opinion from the Attorney General's office concerning entering findings of civil contempt into SLED criminal records.
The Attorney General's opinion was issued on October 8, 2012. This opinion concluded that criminal records are maintained for criminal justice purposes. Since reporting civil contempt findings does not advance or relate to the enforcement of the criminal laws of South Carolina, these civil contempt findings are not criminal history and should not be entered into the State's Criminal Information and Communication System nor in the federal NCIC ( National Crime Information Center) systems.
Because of this opinion, SLED will no longer enter civil contempt orders into the NCIC and state systems.
The Center is grateful to the partnership and support of SC Legal Services and for the favorable and fair opinion by the Attorney General.
The full opinion may be found here.

Enrico is back featuring his unique Hands-Free chromatic harmonica paired with the DB Guitar.
Special guest Gimer: pianist from Russia for the first time.
Enrico Granafei has a long history of musical experience which encompasses both Classical Music and Jazz. Enrico received a degree in classical guitar from the Conservatory of l'Aquila in Italy in 1976. His artistic career started in Rome where he soon became known in the musical community. n the early 1980s Enrico started to broaden his horizons by discovering Jazz through the harmonica.
Following in the tradition of the legendary Toots Thielemans, he began to explore new possibilities for the harmonica, an instrument too often associated solely with Rock and Blues. Besides playing in the best jazz clubs in Italy during that period, Enrico performed regularly on national television where he was a member of the Pippo Caruso orchestra. His love for Jazz led him to New York City, the world capital of Jazz, where he soon started to perform in local jazz clubs, including The Blue Note, Birdland, Visiones, Angry Squire, and the Bottom Line. In 1992 Enrico graduated with a Masters Degree in Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music, where he was the only student of Toots Thielemans. Since 1999 Enrico has been the owner and musical director of the prestigious Trumpets Jazz Club in Montclair, New Jersey (USA), the most important Jazz venue in the state. He continues to perform regularly at Trumpets and at other important jazz venues throughout the United States, as well as to record as a leader and sideman. Now living in New Jersey, Enrico frequently returns to his native Europe as a featured performer in major European Festivals, including Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Euromeet Jazz Festival (Italy), Jazz Festivals throughout Italy and France, and major clubs throughout Europe.He is one of the most respected players of the Chromatic Harmonica in the world today and continues to cultivate an audience for the instrument through his international performances. Enrico's latest accomplishment is his work on Hands-Free-Chromatic Harmonica. The revolutionary instrument invented by Vern Smith allows him to play Chromatic Harmonica and Guitar at the same time, something that nobody has ever done before in Jazz. Close your eyes and you will hear two or three musicians but in fact it's only one.

TN Belly Dance - Ballet never becomes easy. It becomes possible.
Ballet never becomes easy. It becomes possible.
Apart from all the fun that it can cater, it also acts as a great workout routine. That is why we came up with this platform that creates a great option to learn belly dance and showcase your talent.
Love belly dance? Then this is the best place to turn your dreams into reality.
I never knew I could dance this better. They brought out the unexplored side of mine. I am glad I am here.
The best part about being here is that you can learn as well as teach. In some way you can be associated with belly dance.
As belly dancing is essentially a physical exercise which includes physical exertion it provides different health benefits as well.
Relief from back pain and joint pain- while performing the dance, the movements such as hip drops and shimmies put the joints and ligaments in the lower back and hip through a varied range of delicate, repeated movement. These movements help increment in the stream of synovial fluid in these joints. At one point when these movements are done in the way, the pelvis is tipped forward, or tucked to some degree; in an unbiased position that can help counteract lower back issues. Belly dance can induce stress relief to the back, balancing the relatively consistent pressure of the disks in our body that happens from continuous sitting and a stationary way of life. These conditioned muscles enhance posture and help avert back agony that can be caused by the unnatural bending forward of the spine that happens when muscles in the body are frail.
Stress relief- Continuous spinning and swaying can slip an individual into a state of dance-meditation. The dancer frequently finds that a session of graceful moving will clear the psyche and initiate a condition of mental unwinding. The speedier types of belly dance are invigorating and fun, and either slow or quick belly dancing can be valuable in cases of anxiety or mild depression.
Helps in the child birth process- As it is a dance specifically designed for a feminine or in particular a woman's body it can help in the process of childbirth as well. Belly dancing makes for a magnificent prenatal exercise regimen that reinforces the muscles utilized during the childbirth procedure. The conditioned stomach muscles and normal hip tucks, which similar to the pelvic rocking instructed during prenatal classes, educate the expecting mother about how to move her pelvis. For ladies who want natural childbirth, this type of activity through dancing, with its accentuation on muscle control encourages regular childbirth, as well as makes for a superb post-natal exercise that energizes stomach tone. After giving birth, it is required to recuperate from the birth procedure and these developments work the muscles tenderly and successfully, if done step by step.
Increases bone density- Since the woman is on her feet and constantly moving during the dance, it is considered as a weight-bearing activity. Weight-bearing activity can avoid osteoporosis and reinforce bones. It is also biologically known that women tend have low calcium in their bones leading to low bone density. Thus belly dancing can help increase bone density in women.
Belly dancing finds its roots in ancient India and the middle east. It involves the graceful and sensuous movement of the belly to the rhythm of the music. Belly dancers use the natural structure of their bodies with movements emanating from the torso. Belly dancing is most often performed barefoot, and it is perceived by numerous as to emphasize on the intimate physical association between the artist, her appearance, and Mother Earth. Contrary to popular belief belly dancing wasn't an art created to entertain men but in reality, it was performed by women for women during weddings and baby showers.
What are the different styles of belly dancing?
Baladi style belly dancing- It is an Egyptian style of belly dancing. In this style the movements are kept more natural and grounded, with simple steps. The arms are generally held by the side with elbows slightly bent. It is more of a flowy style of belly dance which is playful and flirtatious. It has a strong folklore influence and involves dancing on flat feet and tip toes. It can be considered a bit cheeky and funky style of belly dancing.
Rakass style Belly dancing- It is a Turkish style of belly dancing which has a Romany heritage. The dancer is called a Rakassa. This style is very dynamic, energetic and flamboyant. The movements are bold, strong and faster than most other styles of belly dancing. The dancer also indulges in a lot of hair tosses and spins. Belly rolls are very common in the Turkish style and two famous Turkish dance moves are the Turkish backbend and the Turkish drop. It also involves a lot of tricks and gimmicks and complicated techniques.
American tribal style belly dancing- This was invented in the west coast of America. It is performed in groups and is based on the idea of improvisation. One member generally leads the improvisation and gives the cues and signals to the other dancers. The dance is performed in a way in which in looks seamless and fluid. In This type of belly dance there are duet and solo performances while the other dancers of the group perform in the background simultaneously.
Zambra Mora style of belly dancing- It also known as the flamenco fusion. Zambra mora is a form of flamenco music. The dancers fuse their dance to this form of music. The music has a middle eastern melody and fusion. These dance steps involve heavy travel steps and characteristic turns.
Gothic style belly dancing- The dance vocabulary of the Gothic joins components of belly dance with a few impacts of different world styles, for example, flamenco, Indian dance and gypsy. In any case, Gothic belly dancers include an atmosphere of intensity and drama to their exhibitions, to express the mysteries of life, death and endlessness as would expected of a Gothic style. Gothic belly dance exhibitions are trance like and extremely intense.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to share some of my favorite "I Love You" scenes. I picked four out of millions and list them below, in no particular order. Happy Valentine's Day!
I've loved Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, since I read it decades ago and went through my Scarlett phase (mentioned here). Scarlett reminds me of a Civil War era Madonna, and the book is overloaded with all kinds of drama between the War, the South, and Scarlett and her rebellious, self-centered, tough as nails personality.
"That's your misfortune!" Ha ha. I love it. Rhett always tells it like it is. One of the coolest things about Scarlett though is that even though her world has fallen apart around her, she stubbornly decides she'll think about everything "tomorrow" and you know she'll be alright. She won't settle for anything less. She's a survivor. But I digress….
Once, when he was looking at her in the moments before daybreak, her eyes fluttered open and she smiled and reached up to touch his face. He put his fingers to her lips, gently, to keep her from speaking, and for a long time they just looked at one another.
Like she can go back to Lon after that! Puh-lease. Sap Rules! I'd probably crack up laughing if my husband said those words to me, but I love reading them and hypocritically would love my husband to say them to me, even though I would laugh in his face. Make sense? Maybe not. Just being honest.
Now to make the whole scene even prettier, picture Ryan Gosling saying those words. If you start the book, you'll finish it in a day, and probably be crying at the end. If you prefer movies, tonight is the perfect night to order it and have a snuggle-fest on the couch.
If you aren't a Parks and Rec fan, you really should be. Trust me. It's on Netflix. Go. Now.
Andy: Dude, shut up, that is awesome sauce!
"Awesome sauce" should be a term used in everyday life by EVERYONE. Let's mainstream it, people!
Andy: I do love you.
Andy: Yea.. that's what, you know, makes the sauce so awesome.
Yes, Andy, that IS what makes the sauce so awesome.
If you can find twenty-four minutes to watch the Harvest Festival episode on Netflix, you'll fall in love with Parks and Rec, and you'll get a good taste of fictional Pawnee, Indiana, and get to experience one of its best characters, Lil' Sebastian, as well as Joan Callamezzo, the local television news celebrity who "runs the town." Watch tonight for a Valentine's Day laugh!
GEORGE: You know, I could have actually gone to that.
SIENA: So why didn't you?
GEORGE: Well, I didn't want to break our date.
GEORGE: Because I… I love you.
SIENA: You know, I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat.
GEORGE: Siena, I love you.
SIENA: Yeah, I know. I heard you the first time.
Classic George and classic Seinfeld.
I hope you enjoyed! Have a nice Valentine's Day!

You left out my favorite! "You complete me." from the movie Jerry McGuire!
Yes! I love that movie. "You complete me." And "help me help you." That and Top Gun are my two fave TC movies. Thanks for the read and the comment!
Bahaha! I haven't seen #4 in such a long time! I think that's the episode where Jerry explains to George that if he says "I love you" and she didn't reciprocate, uh, I think he says, "If she doesn't say it back…that's a pretty big Matzo ball." Classic–absolutely classic!
Thanks for reading! I miss Seinfeld so much. Love catching the re-runs. Face painter was also classic David Puddy. So great.
Haha yes! He might deserve his own blog post – the creative wheels are spinning in my head….
Oh! What a treat and thank you!
Not that I am not familiar with the other love scenes or do not have an appreciation for why you chose them but to include George and "crayon girl" just tickled me – well received Jess, well received. The brilliance of Seinfeld…I own all nine seasons and I still laugh each time I re-watch them.
The Brilliance of Seinfeld could be a blog in and of itself. I miss that show! Thanks for reading!
I knew there had to be more Andy fans out there! He's the best! I like awesomesauce as one word too- thanks for sharing. By the way, did you catch Chris Pratt in Zero Dark Thirty? He's all in shape now. Also, I was going to write "BTW," instead of "by the way" right there, but I remembered your dislike of text-like abbreviations! See we pay attention out here in Blogtropolis 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting.
I did see 'Zero Dark Thirty'. I was a little worried when I saw that Pratt was playing in it. I didn't want my impression of Andy ruined by him playing a serious role. He didn't disappoint.
That's hilarious! (Not that you watched Ellen, but what Chris said). He's awesomesauce.
Maybe it's just me being my Pride-and-Prejudice-fanatic self, but I personally looove when Mr. Darcy confesses to Elizabeth in the 2005 movie: "I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you." Score, sir.
Mr. Darcy, eh? I will give him a try. I am not so good with Jane A. I know, I know. I will attempt again. Thanks.
We should write a sequel to GWTW. Call it "Rhett's Return" and put them back together!
Actually, there is a published sequel to Gone With The Wind named Scarlet, and it was sanctioned by the author's trust holders.
I like the mix of heartache and humor in all of these scenes.
One of my favorites is from the Sound of Music.
When Maria and Captain Von Trapp kiss in the gazebo.
Ahh, yes. Agreed. Love The Family Von Trapp. A classic scene for sure!
When I see Captain Von Trapp I get weak in the knees.
Same here. Yep, Richard Gere in uniform — hot stuff.

Lleida (Terres de Lleida)
Lleida is a city on the banks of the Segre river with an important cultural heritage that ranges from its Mediaeval walls to the Romanesque buildings around the cathedral.
Lleida is one of the oldest cities in Catalonia, half way between the sea and the mountains, with a strong spirit of hospitality. That is why it is an important services centre as its wide range of hotels, some accessible, confirms.
Despite its many attractions, Lleida is almost unknown to tourists. Visitors interested in history and art will find a large number of monumental buildings in the city that reflect the passage of the different cultures over the years: from Roman remains to new buildings like the Palau de la Diputació and a number of Modernista (Art Nouveau) houses. The old cathedral or Seu Vella, partially accessible, is the city landmark.
Apart from the cultural heritage, Lleida has many natural spaces such as the Mitjana Park, an ecosystem of great natural and ecological value.
In Lleida you will find a different way of enjoying leisure and culture.
