Galinhada is a great meal to make for one, something that during lockdown so many of us who live alone are having to do on the regular. It is easy to start feeling uninspired during these difficult times, but we hope that this recipe will warm your belly and provide a little comfort. The beauty of making Galinhada is that you can freeze the leftover rice in portions and enjoy it with vegetables and meats throughout the month (excellent for the single-life).

We love easy-to-prepare meals that are simply delicious, and this kibbeh recipe is a perfect example of that. Kibbeh are a Middle Eastern dish that resemble plump croquettes with pointy ends. They're deep fried and traditionally made with bulgur wheat, minced lamb, and spices. Almost everything fried is tasty in our opinion, but sadly not always that healthy. At home, the oven is the healthier alternative to deep frying.Middle Eastern immigrants brought the kibbeh to Brazilians in the late 19th Century. The snack immediately became a popular street food staple, and it can now be found in a variety of corner bars and bakeries. However, the recipe has been tweaked to suit local tastes, such as the replacing of beef for lamb, in keeping with their well-known carnivorous inclinations.One popular Brazilian Kibbeh recipe uses minced meat and bulgur wheat. We tested this recipe for the traditional croquette shaped kibbeh in the oven, and it worked really well, crispy enough on the outside and completely moist inside.This is the base recipe; you can always add spices and customise it to your own personal taste.

If you ask any Brazilian "what goes well with Banana Frita?" you'll most likely hear the answer "ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!". We can guarantee that they are absolutely correct. Banana Frita is a beautiful side dish made with plantain (do not confuse it with regular sweet bananas🍌). It goes great with beef, pork and even fish! The recipe is very easy but requires a little patience and care.Vegetable oil or sunflower oil or groundnut oil Salted or unsalted butter (to your salt preference) Salt (optional)1. Slice the plantain in diagonal circles. 2. In a skillet, add about half a spoonful of butter and the oil of your choice. Adapt your measurements according to the diameter of your pan, the most important thing is to make sure that the whole base of the pan is covered in a thin layer of oil. 3. Turn up the heat to medium to high heat (but not high enough to burn the oil) 4. Using one slice of plantain, check if your oil is ready. Lay it down in the pan and see if it sizzles. If it does you are ready! 5. Lay your plantain slices face down in the pan making sure not to let them overlap and reserve your leftover uncooked slices for the next batch to make next. 6. Turn the heat to medium low and let the plantain cook slowly. Turn them over one by one when they are a nice brownish colour and cook the next side. 7. Put your plantain on some paper towel and start on the next batch. When you are finished, salt your plantain to your preference and lather with butter.

We recently talked about our new discovery, lovage, which is an aromatic deeply flavoured herb and is just one of the many exciting ingredients we found in the amazing book "A Painter's Kitchen - Recipes from the Kitchen of Georgia O'Keeffe". So, today, we would like to share with you one of the recipes we've enjoyed using this herb and which is taken from that book.Simply entitled Meatloaf, this is a classic in many culinary traditions around the world, but it's more commonly related to American, German, Scandinavian and Belgian cuisines. Basically, all you need is minced meat, a few ingredients and a bit of love to shape the mixture into a beautiful loaf.Meatloaf is a budget-friendly recipe because the minced meat can be made from a cheap beef cut or indeed from any other meat you have available - for example, venison or pork or lamb will work just as well. O'Keeffe's tweak is to add some lovage, which gives the meatloaf an incredible aroma and a sweet flavour.We just wanted to share her original recipe with you but we've added our little adaptations. We really hope you enjoy our cultural heritage in between the lines.[caption id="attachment_7212" align="alignnone" width="2560"] Easy to make and aromatic.[/caption]

As with most fun things, the Covid-19 Pandemic managed to cancel this year's festivities. Carnival has it all, five whole days of music, costumes, parades and delicious street food! One thing that never changes each Carnival is the heaps of mouth-watering food on sale, and our all-time favourite meal to indulge in at Carnival is Moqueca (pronounced Mow-key-ka), which is a hearty and warming fish stew that became symbol of the festivities and one of most popular dishes in the country.So, join us in learning a little about the history of the dish, don your own carnival mask and make moqueca with us! Serve with rice and Pirão for the true Brazilian experience.Other ways: You can use other varieties of seafood, such as prawn and squid, but be mindful about their cooking processes. Prawns and squids cook quickly.Prawns: Fry the prawns quickly with salt, pepper, lime in palm oil and reserve. Add them right at the end.Squid: Add the raw squid when your dish is ready. Cook for 2-5 minutes, until it changes colour. Be careful to not overcook.Fresh chicken or smoked chicken: Season the chicken with lime, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat the palm oil, fry the chicken, then add garlic and onion, and so on.Vegetarian: In Brazil, a typical vegetarian version replaces the meat with palm hearts.Vegan: A vegan version can be done using plantain.

This is a very special take on traditional Brazilian Moqueca (which is more frequently made with seafood). The version was passed onto us from event planner and interior designer Karim Schneider and uses smoked chicken… the results burst with sophistication and flavour! Karim has had an incredible career and is responsible for some of Brazil's most famous museum receptions. She is an avid traveller and has lived in London and Paris and her recipes always cross cultures in the most fantastic ways.Our top tip: after removing the meat from your chicken, use the bones to make chicken stock (homemade stock equals life!). You can use the stock to make Pirão (cassava flour porridge which is the traditional Brazilian pairing with Moqueca).

Whenever we are having a bit of a health kick, we reach for this yogurt dip. It's a perfect nutritious snack and goes well with pretty much everything – carrots, cucumber, celery, even on top of everyday plain bread … If you want to make a lower-calorie version just switch to a low-fat alternative. We prefer to always use fresh herbs in this recipe, but feel free to get creative, dry can work too 💙! And... if your on the hunt for a new yogurt brand... @northiamdairyltd natural yogurt makes the dip taste even better!If you don't get around to finishing all your dip at the end of the week, try our zero-waste trick: Turn it into a marvellous salad dressing by adding olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice ❌🗑.

Morel mushrooms are 👌 but here in London they cost a pretty penny! £90 per kg to be exact! But… that doesn't stop our editor pulling out her purse whenever she's shopping at Borough Market though! She told us that in America after a night of partying as a teenager, having a trek into the woods to forage for morels and was the perfect hangover cure. All the kids would come back with baskets full and stuff their faces until their bellies were full and headaches gone.There are plenty of fancy ways to cook morels, you can fry them in wine and herbs, sometimes cream, but our editor Oceana prefers them simple and straight forward. She fry's them in a light batter just like her childhood best friend's mum showed her back in the states:

Christiano's Bacalhoada – Salt Cod
With Easter arriving this weekend, we are getting ready to celebrate spring, which means eating Salt Cod!The practice of salting and drying cod has been around for 500 years and is said to have been discovered by the Vikings, who used the method to preserve fish on long sea voyages. Salt Cod can be found all over the globe: from Norway, Africa to South America! In Portugal, you'll find Salt Cod on pretty much every restaurant menu as an appetiser or a main dish, and during Easter, it's even more popular! According to Catholic traditions, meats such as beef, pork and lamb are forbidden during Lent so more people turn to eating fish as an alternative.An all-time Portuguese and Brazilian favourite Easter Salt Cod recipe is Bacalhoada - scrumptious cod roasted with plenty of veg! Scroll down to make it with us!

Riverford Organic Farmers veg-hacks has done it again! We tried out their cavolo nero seaweed recipe, and WOW, we are sold!It is wonderfully crispy, salty and the sesame seed oil is 😍😍😍. The best thing is you don't need to feel any guilt snacking on it, because it's healthy too!If you haven't already subscribed to Riverford's youtube channel yet, DO! We are still making their slow cook courgette pasta sauce on the regular and their raw garlic courgette salad is an absolute favourite (especially in this heat!). Thanks for the inspiration @riverford 🙏

We've been enjoying watching Riverford Organic Farmers YouTube veg hacks and decided to test out their slow cooked courgette pasta sauce!Honestly, we wouldn't have thought of slow cooking courgettes ourselves – we usually, fry, roast, steam or eat them raw. Slow cooking was delicious!The dish is made with just a handful of ingredients: courgettes, garlic, lemon, oil and salt (we threw in a handful of tomatoes from the farmers market for a little colour and sweetness at the end). It was very easy to prepare and only takes a half an hour.We will definitely be adding courgette sauce to our weekly menu! As says in the video, the longer you cook courgette, the stronger the flavour!Go check out Riverfords veg hacks, they are excellent👍!

It can be easy to forget about how nice nut butter can be in a salad dressing, so, when we opened up our Farmdrop delivery this week and found a Turnip and Peanut Butter Slaw recipe, we jumped at the opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with all things nutty.The important thing to keep in mind when you are mixing a dressing is that everyones taste is different, measurements can be taken with a pinch of salt and it can take a little experimenting to find the right ratio. This recipe calls for peanut butter, sesame oil and lemon, but we've tried adding a little tahini and a small dash of toasted sesame and sesame seeds.This slaw by Farmdrop has been a huge hit with us, and having a big bowl of it in the fridge has been perfect for hassle free work lunches👍.

Celebrating Swedish Jansson's Festelse
After watching Nigella Lawson's Cook, Eat, Repeat Christmas Special (which celebrates Scandinavian cooking), Daniela went back to her old photos and revisited a Christmas memory she has with her Danish family while living abroad. She says:"Having Christmas away from home was very emotional for me and I missed being in Brazil for the holidays, but thankfully the Danish are, in my opinion, the most non-Latin Latin people ever… their traditions make you feel warm and loved, and very full 🙏! We sat around the table, chatting, cooking, telling stories, laughing and tasting the most delicious food with my Uncle's partner's father, Poul, a sweet elegant gentleman who has a spectacular moustache and his wife Tanja who is a force of nature, beautiful and has amazing cooking skills. Poul made us his version of Jansson's Frestelse the night before Christmas, it's delicious and the perfect winter meal."

Happy New Year Cooking New Stories family🤩! Is it time to go back to our healthy routine yet? Maybe not quite yet, but we have an inspiring (and yummy) idea for when you are ready to detox from all that Christmas pudding and New Year's bubbly. Originally this recipe was for a pistachio bar, but there was no honey on hand that the recipe called for so it was used agave as replacement which ended up not holding the bar together. But low and behold it made the most delicious granola! We love it when mistakes turn into perfection❤!If you don't have some of the ingredients, use what you do have, maybe you'll make your own happy mistake👍.

Fio de ovos Portuguese delicacy
My grandmother's home had jars and jars of Fio de Ovos stored in the freezer. Very often on a hot afternoon I would open a jar, pour the beautiful yellow threads and syrup into a small bowl and delicately eat thread by thread savouring every last bit. Translated, Fio de Ovos is called Angel Hair and it is a typical Portuguese sweet. Like many other Portuguese treats, its invention is credited to 14th and 15th century monks. It is also rumoured to have been developed due to the surplus of egg yolks since egg whites were used for starching clothes.The sweet has travelled the world and Japan and Thailand even have their own names and versions of this special dish. In Brazil, Fio de Ovos are used for decorating cakes or to follow savoury dishes (like ham). The recipe calls for 36 eggs, which, sounds like a lot of eggs, but trust us it will make enough to last you a year – if you have the willpower to restrain yourself!

Every Christmas we add more of these 'cookie' decorations to our Christmas tree. All you need is flour, salt and water, it's as easy as that! This year we decided to get a little extra creative and tried our hand at making donuts, because honestly, what is better than donuts🎁!Dried and stored properly, salt dough ornaments can last for years and years! There are two key things to longevity of salt dough ornaments – that they are properly dried to begin with and that they are stored well.

Tropical fine beans and mango salad
The Fine Beans and Mango Salad by Chef Simon Lau Cederholm is fenomenal! Simon is well-known for his particular love and respect of Brazilian ingredients and culinary culture. His restaurant Aquavit has been awarded three stars from Guia Brazil 2013 (a Michelin equivalent) and is one of only six Brazilian restaurants to have been awarded that honor in 2013.Simon's unique cuisine merges his Russian and Danish roots, while staying true to Brazilian styles. His food is sublime!This delicate and crisp salad has nostalgic undertones for Cooking New Stories Founder Daniela Paiva, because Simon also happens to be her uncle in law.This salad is one of his contribution to her grandmother's recipe book, which all family members contribute towards as a way of celebrating their shared passion for food and family.This recipe does not have measure because it depends on your crowd. Just make sure to make a quantity that is suitable for eating right away. The salad loses a bit of its colour and freshness if you need to store it in the fridge.

Ballontine of chicken breast byMasterChef semi-finalist Robert Austin
This recipe is loosely based around my final creation on MasterChef. It was a dish that really didn't work, it had too many elements and the flavours failed to balance.This version is far more simple and uses readily available supermarket ingredients. I think it's actually a far better dish than the original!The cassoulet recipe will make a larger quantity than you need for this recipe. However, it's fantastic with crusty bread, freezes well, great with other meats (particularly pork belly) or just with roasted vegetables. Please feel free to half the recipe.The serving size will depend on the size of your chicken breasts. Medium chicken breasts will serve 2 or 3 people, Large chicken breasts will serve 4 or even 5 people. If you have extra stuffing mix left you can make additional ballontines with boned chicken legs or just the thighs.Cassoulet ingredient (method below). 2 x 400g cans of butter beans (drained), 3 medium onions, 3 medium sized carrots, 400g passata (or 400g can of chopped tomatoes blended), 225g chorizo sausage ring (not sliced), 4 cloves of garlic, 500 ml chicken stock, 1 level teaspoon dried thyme, 2 level teaspoon smoked paprika (picante), 2 level teaspoon cumin powder, 2 bay leaves, chilli flakes (optional), salt to taste.

This simple dessert came about from designing a 'kitsch' themed dinner party a few years back. It is a little nod to 80's Brazil, when peach slices were all the rage. 🍑😎We've been making it ever since – it is lovely, light and crunchy ! A word of warning though, keep both eyes on the butter and don't let it burn or it will ruin the pistachio.

Brazilian pequi, we dare you to try them!
"Pequi" or Caryocar Brasiliense is a fruit that is common in the central Brazilian Cerrado. It has a blackish purple shell that yields around 3 or 4 yellow edible mesocarp that have a very distinct taste and cheesy smell. Anthony Bourdain describes the pequi as "tasting sweaty, or like a barnyard". You will either love it or hate it!This unusual fruit is tricky to eat: between the mesocarp and the seed are very fine spines that can really hurt your mouth, so you must scrape the outside of the fruit before consuming. It's popularly eaten with rice and chicken and in Brazil you can find it sold fresh by street vendors and also preserved in jars, oils, mixed with chillies for hot sauces and as a liquor. We challenged @glassofbubbly, @finelocation and @oliverwalkey to pair Arroz Com Pequi with fizz. The course was paired with @barth_sekt and @wingut_fb_schoenleber. Let's be honest: @finelocation described the pequi smell as wet socks![caption id="attachment_5393" align="alignnone" width="711"] Glass of Bubbly pairing recommendation for the full meal.[/caption]A word of advice: avoid the preserved ones and go for the frozen ones, which you can find on specialty Brazilian stores.Photos Glass of Bubblyhttps://glassofbubbly.com

My earliest memories in the kitchen are from when I was around 7 years old. This passion that evolved throughout my life took me to develop easy going, heartfelt recipes for my family and for clients. One of them is this fantastic pesto with spinach, cashew nuts and pistachio.Before going to work, my mother would leave me a special task for lunch. Chopped garlic and measured rice, oil and water were waiting for me to finish the rice in a typical Brazilian style as a side for our family meal.I also will never forget the cheese that my grandparents made at home standing on a cupboard outside of the house to be cured. The smell was incredible. They were self-sustainable, growing vegetables, herbs and farming.Coming from an Italian background, all the family got together on Sundays. Children were responsible on the making of the capeletti (a type of pasta), which was the first course.I grow herbs and vegetables in my garden. I make sure that my children know the difference in smell and tastes by asking them to pick it up while I'm cooking. There are a lot of people who simply do not know the distinction between a herb and a vegetable.I am what I call a free flow cooker. I don't follow recipes and I don't measure things. I go by instinct. My cooking is simple, but well-seasoned, fresh and warm.When preparing a meal, one is sharing a personal story. A dish can bring back memories and also create new ones about people and places. Food makes memories!I felt challenged to make a pesto without cheese because I was working for a woman who couldn't eat dairy. I came up with this flavourful recipe with spinach, cashews nuts and pistachio.

Incredibly addictive Parmesan Brigadeiros
I'm Nat. I was born in Brazil, but grew up in the UK and New Zealand and these are Parmesan Brigadeiros.I moved back here (London) in 2014 to train at Leiths School of Food to become a chef. I now work as a cookery at the asian cookery school called School of Wok. My godmother is Brazilian and she teaches me lots of Brazilian dishes and about heritage and culture. I was adopted to English parents so I need to learn.There are a few flavours there, banana, pistachio, traditional and parmesan. It's meant to be the colours of the Brazilian flag. They were part of a celebration for Brazilian carnival that we held here in London.The sweet and salty combo from the Parmesan Brigadeiro is so good! The parmesan melts in whilst hot and then you chill it and form your balls.Follow me on Instagram @natmcooks.[caption id="attachment_5358" align="aligncenter" width="800"] On the left, traditional chocolate brigadeiros.

LYON, France – Within 48 hours of INTERPOL's global appeal to the public, the prime suspect, Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, from Union City, New Jersey, who was photographed sexually abusing young children in Southeast Asia in images distributed on the Internet was identified, located and arrested in Union City by Special Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) based in Newark, New Jersey.
As a result of independent tips provided via the Internet to INTERPOL Headquarters in Lyon by three individuals living in the United States, the suspected child sex abuser targeted by INTERPOL's Operation IDent, launched May 6, was arrested in the early hours of May 8 by ICE Agents.
"Two days ago, this man's nationality, identity and location were totally unknown. All we had to go by were a series of graphic photographs in which the suspect was seen sexually abusing young children and our confidence that the public and police worldwide would once again respond to INTERPOL's call for assistance. That two days later, the primary suspect is now in custody is an outstanding achievement and a credit to the citizens, media and law enforcement worldwide who responded to INTERPOL's call," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
"The arrest made this morning by ICE agents in Newark, of a highly sought child predator suspect, is an outstanding example of international law enforcement partnership to keep children safe both in our countries and around the world," said Julie L. Myers, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for ICE. "Their work and the incredible response from the public to INTERPOL's call for assistance made this arrest possible. All who value the safety and well-being of children should be heartened by this success."
"I commend the work of law enforcement authorities in all our member countries who were involved in this operation but especially Norway for providing us with the legal basis to launch this global appeal and to ICE agents on the ground and the U.S. National Central Bureau of INTERPOL in the U.S. for their continued efforts to help INTERPOL fight the awful crime of the sexual abuse of children worldwide. In addition, I want to once again thank the public and media for their contribution because it is absolutely clear that without their help, we would never have been able to identify, locate and arrest either of the targets of Operation IDent or Operation Vico," added Secretary General Noble.
"Cases like Operation Vico and Operation IDent show us all that keeping our children safe from sexual predators at home in the 21 st Century can best be achieved by ensuring that strong local, national and international police institutions cooperate seamlessly across borders and across the digital divide worldwide."
There were almost 250,000 site visits on INTERPOL's website within the first 24 hours of the launch of the global appeal. This is more than ten times the daily average that the website usually receives. There should be no doubt that the public deeply cares about helping the police to identify the man pictured sexually abusing boys aged between six and ten in a series of around 100 images found on the Internet and retrieved from the computer of a convicted pedophile.
The suspected child sex predator featured in approximately 100 images in a series of around 800, which were believed to have been taken in Southeast Asia and depicted the sexual abuse of at least three boys aged between 6 and 10 years old. The first pictures of the man were originally discovered by police in Norway in March 2006.
After receiving the pictures from Norwegian police, INTERPOL's child exploitation unit at the General Secretariat in Lyon, France circulated the images to its global network of experts to try and identify the man.
ICE Office of Investigations for Washington, D.C., and Cyber Crimes Center working with the U.S. National Central Bureau, a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, received the information from INTERPOL and located the suspect in Union, N.J. ICE Office of Investigations in Newark, N.J., made the arrest. Prosecutorial assistance was provided by the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Department of Justice Criminal Division and United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey. The suspect is due to appear in U.S. District Court for New Jersey for his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Michael Shipp.
This is the second time that INTERPOL has launched a public appeal to identify a suspected child offender. Operation VICO last October led to the arrest in Thailand of Christopher Paul NEIL. Following the success of that operation, INTERPOL's General Assembly in 2007 approved a resolution empowering the organization to publish information to request the public's assistance in child sex abuse investigations.
INTERPOL and ICE are partners in the Virtual Global Task Force, an international alliance of law enforcement committed to keeping children safe from child predators.

Uzbekistan local time |
From ancient times the people of Uzbekistan have treated water and earth as sacred objects. Under hot Asian sun there is no life without water. Earth is the life-giving source, the origin of everything; and even the first man, Adam, as Koran says, was also made of clay. At all times the people inhabiting this land were making from clay their own world. Adobe and baked bricks were used to construct fortresses, temples and dwellings. In round clay stoves called tandir they baked lepioshka - round flat bread. In pre-Islamic epoch clay idols protected the family from any kind of troubles; toy-whistles were made from clay for children; clay was irreplaceable material for making plates and dishes.
It is not surprising that among various crafts of Uzbek people ceramics is considered to be one of the most respectful. In every region of the country there is a local school of ceramics whose traditions trace their roots back to the ancient times.
On Afrosiab hills in the suburbs of Samarkand archeologists found numerous terracotta statuettes imaging fantastic animals, dragons and lions, as well as fragments of ceramic dishes painted by unknown masters that lived in Maracanda 1500-2000 years ago. In the middle of the twentieth century, national master-ceramist Umar Djurakulov, after having studied the archeological findings, ancient ornaments and plastic art techniques, started modeling fancy figures, thus reviving the ancient art.
In our days in the ceramic workshop in one of Samarkand streets, named after this outstanding master, his followers cherish the traditions of ceramic art of Afrasiab. Amazing riders on donkeys and horses, statuettes imitating the situations that one can watch in chaykhanas and bazaars, clowns-maskarabozes and, surely, miniature dragons - all these terracotta articles are the best souvenirs, the keepsakes to remind the tourists of their trip to Samarkand.
Many craftsmen make toys from clay but only few of them are able to make these simple articles a perfect work of art. Whistle-toy once brought world popularity to outstanding hereditary ceramist Hamro Rahimova from an old village Uba. Today her follower, Kubaro Kabaeva, teach her own apprentices to model many-headed horses and lambs, brightly painted and able to produce a high-pitch whistle.
Near Uba, in forty kilometers from Bukhara, in a small town of Gizhduvan which once was popular throughout the whole Great Silk Road by its ceramics, there lives a well-known master Alisher Narzullaev, full member of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan, master-ceramist in the sixth generation. Lyagans - big shallow dishes, pialas - oriental cups for drinking tea, kosas - big cups for drinking soup, vases decorated with the patterns that resemble peacock feathers - these are just few of the works of this master. Bright colors, which are blurred with thick layer of glaze, get softness and expressiveness of watercolors. The secrets of potter's wheel workmanship, of original forms of clay articles, the techniques of ceramic painting were handed down to Alisher by his father, Ubaydullo Narzullaev.
In Khiva, one of the oldest towns of the world, there has developed the Khorezmian school of ceramics remarkable for its monumentality of clear geometrical ornaments. The patterns of ceramic articles have much in common with majolica decor, that covers the walls of famous architectural monuments of ancient Ichan-kala, because present-day craftsmen are the direct descendants of the ancient masters who decorated the ancient palaces and mosques. For making the glaze - ishkor they use the same components that were used by their ancestors for getting unfading blue, azure and turquoise tiles.
In any place of the Republic a lover of the pottery will find original style of painting, clarity of decorative forms, the real feeling of master's creativity. The true connoisseur of the blue ceramics will long to get to Ferghana valley, to Rishtan.
According to historical facts, pottery craft emerged in Rishtan about one thousand years ago. Rishtan ceramists, kuzagars, consider themselves to be the descendants of the founders of ceramics as well as the advocates of old traditions.
In the middle ages the art of Rishtan craftsmen gained popularity in many towns and countries, which lay along the Great Silk Road. After the powerful empire, Movarrounnahr, had been established by Amir Temur, the best commodities from all over the world could be found in the markets of the empire. The finest white Chinese porcelain with cobalt blue painting was among the most valued goods. But the secret of its manufacture the Chinese craftsmen kept to themselves.
It is well known that at the end of 14th century Amir Temur sent several masters from Samarkand to Rishtan. It was at that time that the attempts were undertaken to reveal the secrets of Chinese porcelain manufacture. These attempts failed because in Fergana Valley there were no deposits of high-quality kaolin clay. However, in Rishtan there was invented the techniques of making from local sorts of clay of semi-faience pottery, covered with white glaze and blue painting, so-called "chini" - "Chinese". This style of painting got a rather original evolution in Uzbekistan To tell the truth, the Rishtan potters were making "chini" ceramics in the 19th century. According to the ancient oriental beliefs, aquamarine symbolizes happiness because it is the color of water and sky.
Nowadays in Samarkand, Gizhduvan and Tashkent national craftsmen mostly use factory-made or home made leaden glaze for ceramic articles decoration. Rishtan potters still use enamel "ishkor", which is made from ashes of the bushes known only to them. Craftsmen add stannum, oxides of cobalt, copper or iron in it. Depending on the combinations of these additives with potash contained in the ashes, the glaze "ishkor" turns into ultramarine, turquoise, white, black or brown color.
Nowhere else in Uzbekistan there is such a diversity of forms of ceramic articles as you can find in Rishtan. The creative imagination of local craftsmen is unlimited: lyagans - dishes for pilaf, cosas and shocosas - bowls for drinking vegetable soup shurpa, huge jugs - khums for keeping grain and oil, churns, deep vessels with lids for sour milk - koshkulok, oftoba - jugs for ablution before praying, pialas, kuzacha - jugs for water, vessels in the shape of fabulous bird urdac.
Magic notions, embodied in ornamental motives, became a thing of the past, but their symbolic and poetic connotation is still known to kuzagars and, as peculiar "code", it is passed over from generation to generation. Thus on the ceramic articles the masters still make a beautiful picture of a pomegranate bough with fruit, ornaments with circles and helixes - ancient symbols of the sun, moon, and universe. Since the 18th century in the decoration of ceramic articles there have appeared the motives of jugs, teapots and vases with flowers.
Contemporary works of Rishtan masters, the real embodiment of the traditions of blue ceramics of Temurids' epoch, are exhibited in the museums of Italy, Hungary, France, Belgium, Russia. In recent years the works of Nabidjon Kadirov, follower of Usto Ibragim Kamilov, Rustam Usmanov, Sharafutdin Ysupov, Makhmud Azizov have been displayed in the exhibitions of Switzerland, Germany, Japan and other countries. Collectors from all over the world long to purchase the samples of the handicrafts of blue ceramics. Tourist, too, are pleased to buy in one of Rishtan ceramic workshops a "miracle" made of clay. Any of these hand-made works is unique, because even one and the same master never repeats the form or ornament of his ceramic article.
Rishtan is said to be the homeland of ceramic art in Ferghana valley. Muzaffar Saidov, master from village Minor near Rishtan, keeps traditions of blue ceramics "ishkor" in his works; the same can be said about an old master Gafurdzhan Masharipov from Gurumsaray village in Namangan province, who strictly follows the traditions of famous Usto Kenja.
It was here, in Gurumsaray village, that several years ago the full member of Art Academy of Uzbekistan, a well-known ceramist in Tashkent Akbar Rakhimov perceived the secrets of ancient technology of making the blue ceramics "ishkor".
In one of the oldest districts of Tashkent, Kukcha, in Odil Mukhtorov street, there is one of the places of interest - a House-museum named after Mukhitdin Rakhimov. This outstanding person, a hereditary potter in the forth generation, an engineer-technologist on ceramics, a scientist, a researcher, lived a remarkable life. Having defended a thesis he worked as a senior staff scientist of the Republican Institute for fine arts study for more than forty years. During his numerous trips to the oldest ceramic centers, in archeological expeditions he thoroughly studied traditional artistic techniques of ceramics art of Samarkand, Bukhara, Tashkent, Farghana valley. For many years Mukhitdin Rakhimov had been studying the ceramics of Kushan period and the epoch of Temurds. He wrote several books and published tens of articles on history of ceramics of Uzbekistan and technology of ceramic processing, interpretation of various symbols and artistic images in ceramics.
Mukhitdin Pakhimov gave his morning and evening hours to his life-work - the work with clay on the potter's wheel, charkh, and decoration of the ceramic articles with patterns. He created a great deal of wonderful articles many of which were reproducing the styles of Kushan or Temurids times. On his cups and vases there were flying birds of paradise, symbols of the peace and prosperity. Intricate geometrical ornament or conventionalized Arabian inscriptions were interlacing with each other, there were floating wonderful fishes, which from the times immemorial symbolized prosperity and happiness. Traditions that usto Mukhitdin had absorbed, his skills and tendency towards perfection were passed over to his son Akbar.
After the death of his father, this outstanding artist-ceramist established at his own expense a private Museum-House in which the principal place was given to potter's workshop, personal belongings and the books of Mukhitdin Rakhimov. Here side by side with the works of Mukhitdin Rakhimov there are exhibited the works of Akbar himself and ceramic articles of the grandson of the great master - Alisher who is the successor of the sixth generation the Rakhimovs dynasty. Eleven times the works of this young talented artist were exhibited in Uzbekistan, Japan, Germany, and France. Cherishing family traditions, he works both in the style of the glazed ceramics of Kushan times, and the style of Temurids blue ceramics, experimenting on reproduction of Tashkent carved ceramics of 5th century, making the series of works imitating the motives of "kashgari" style.
In the hospitable house of the Rakhimovs everybody remembers the words of master Mukhitdin Rakhimov, the words that have became a kind of a precept to his descendants and other ceramists: "Each article is made from clay. But one should remember that artist must not only love it with all his heart, but must make for this clay to acquire the required form".

We always told to "dress for success" and "dress for the job you want, not the one you have," but implementing those ideas is easier said than done. To help, we've broken down the science for choosing new clothes and tallied tips for debuting your wardrobe without causing too much of a stir.

While the cut, style, and fit of your clothes is important, the first thing most people are going to notice is the color. The color can have a serious psychological impact on the person looking at you, so depending on how you want to present yourself it's good to know the basic rules.
How We Perceive Colors and the Effect They Have on Your Presentation
Color theory isn't an exact science, but we do know a few things about how colors often affect the way we're seen. These aren't always specific to clothing, but the cognitive effects they trigger can be applied to clothing. It's not solely about people's perception of you, color can have an affect on how you perceive yourself as well. The colors you wear might not exactly make you more successful, but they can make you feel that way.
Red: Red universally means stop, excitement, or danger, and one study suggests it might actually scare people a little. In another study, red is thought to evoke worry, distraction, and self-preoccupation. That might actually help us understand why, in a survey last year, a typical CEO was likely to prefer magenta over other colors. However, chances are you're not interested in scaring the pants off your coworkers just yet, so steer clear of red and magenta toward the beginning of the process.
Blue: Blue is typically associated with calming effects, and the same idea can be applied to clothing. Some studies have shown it can have an effect on the creative mood of the person looking at it, and theoretically, wearing blue might have a positive effect on the creativity of your coworkers.
Darker Tones: Darker colors like black, navy, gray or brown supposedly give off an authoritative message. Dressing in darker clothing might influence others around you and give off the impression that you know what you're doing.
Lighter Tones: Lighter colors like earth tones, pastels, or yellows typically appear less intimidating. That's not a bad thing, it can also mean people perceive you as being gentle, friendly, and approachable. Lighter hues also allow you to blend in more and maybe help disguise any changes to your wardrobe you're looking to make.
Even the color of your eyeglasses can change the way people view you. In a study from National Cheng Kung University, it was found that the color of frames had different connotations. For instance, green frames presented a vulgar impression, whereas black gives the impression of stability.
The Style Still Has an Effect
Just because color plays an important role doesn't mean style doesn't. In fact, in one study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, it was found that our perception of ourselves changes enough that our language does too:
Results show that participants who were dressed formally used more formal adjectives than casual ones to describe themselves. The opposite was true in participants wearing casual clothes. In addition, formally dressed participants responded faster to formal than to casual adjectives, while this difference was reversed in casually dressed participants.
The effect is going to change depending on how you define casual and formal. If you're more of a t-shirt and jeans type and you're looking to make the leap into a polo shirt, the people around you will likely notice and you too might notice a change in your own demeanor, even if it's not a traditional definition of formal.
Many surveys have found most big industries prefer a conservative approach to dressing. The Harvard Business Review notes that 37 percent of men believe that if you don't look the part of your leader, you're not going to get a leadership role yourself. As with any job, it's good to gauge your surroundings and have an understanding of how people tend to dress, but that doesn't mean you can't improve your presentation a little.

How to Integrate These Tips into Your Wardrobe without Stirring Up Too Much Attention
If you're reading this, chances are you're not the type to run out, purchase a bright red blazer, and then head into work tomorrow. Instead, you might be looking for a subtle means to upgrade your wardrobe without drawing a ton of attention to yourself. We know that dressing even just a little bit nice engenders more confidence, but it's also likely to bring about a few snide remarks from co-workers and friends.
As far as the science is concerned, this would mean implementing your changes gradually based on colors, not just styles. For instance, if you want to start wearing button up shirts, but don't want to draw attention to yourself, stick with lighter, neutral colors. The same goes with your pants and shoes. Image consultant Crystal Gardner agrees and offers these suggestions:
Subtle changes are the easiest and safest to make when looking to change ones image. I suggest playing with colors and accessories. Colors can be brought into the wardrobe as layering pieces under blazers, sweaters, stockings, and scarfs. Right now color blocking is a great trend that takes adding color into consideration. Some of the current colors of the season include: neons, bold blues, purples, reds, greens, and orange. Accessories are another great way one can change their image. Costume jewelry can add elegance and sophistication, retro shaped eyewear can create a trendy upbeat look, belts can add different looks and accentuate the body in certain ways, shoes are also another great accessory to add some punch to a new look. I personally love the oxford flat which has been seen in many colors and patterns this year. It's a classic with a new twist. The best part about these little updates is they are very affordable, you aren't buying a complete new wardrobe.
The subtle, piece-by-piece method isn't your only option, if you prefer to jump in headfirst, image consultant Milena Joy of Milena Distinctive Image Consulting suggests a more upfront approach:
CEO's and great leaders aren't wallflowers, they stand out and they dress with confidence. Changing your look and people's reaction to you is all about consistency. If you consistently look put together, polished and sophisticated, than there won't be much to talk about for long. You may have to suffer through one day of reactions from co-workers, but soon your new look will become the norm. If you try to ease into the new look, then each piece, each change will be a new opportunity for someone to make an obvious comment, therefore putting you in an awkward self-conscious position. We advise that you jump into your new look with both feet (in your tailored pants of course) and make the decision to dress for a more successful you and never look back.

The Rebbe also said the US is a kingdom of chessed, a nation that helps everybody. Our forefathers arrived here after the terrible churbon and they gave us permission to go and take in the refugees. "The Chossom Sofer wrote about the Kaiser Franz Yosef and his government, saying they were Hashem's agents. The same can be said of the US government. They make sure we have an opportunity to live here with freedom and keep all of the mitzvahs, and we have to follow the law. There is no good deed, mitzvah or even bikkur cholim or hachnasas kalloh that permits violating the law," he concluded.Caveat; I did not watch or listen to the speech on YouTube. Thus, it is possible that the above report is not what he said. HOWEVER, assuming that it is, I found it interesting that the Spinka Rebbe referred to the Chasam Sofer (d. 1839) praising "the Kaiser Franz Joseph" (unless he only misspoke).
Franz Joseph (d. 1916) was born in 1830 and did not rule until 1848. He was indeed beloved by his Jewish subjects, so much so that he was nicknamed Yossel. Of course the Chasam Sofer might have been speaking about a Knight of the Golden Fleece, Franz Joseph of Liechtenstein (d. 1781).
In all, I think the point is that if this is even an accurate quote (that is, the Chasam Sofer praised a benevolent ruler of his time) it wasn't Franz Joseph. In the Spinka Rebbe's mouth it almost seems as if "the Kaiser Franz Joseph" becomes an archetype title for a benevolent ruler. Still, it is probably too much to construct a pilpul about historical memory or ahistoricism and Chassidism, but it is still a bit of interest.

Eating healthy at college can be a tricky maneuver. You're in a hurry getting to classes, working a part-time job, studying late at night and, of course, keeping up with those hot dates. You're going to need healthy foods to keep your motor running while keeping your package looking good. Here are five cloak-and-dagger secrets from the underground of healthy college eating to accomplish the mission.
Munchies and Snacks
Whether you're in between class or having a late study night, you're bound to get the munchies attack. These munchies attacks come on quick and furious, so you'll need to be prepared with a healthy snack to fight off the pangs. Before leaving the dining hall, equip yourself with a piece of fruit, such as an apple or banana. Fruits are filled with natural sugar, fiber and vitamins and will quickly satiate you. Keep a stockpile of healthy snacks in your dorm fridge for those late study nights. Include items such as, low-fat yogurts, hummus on whole grain pita breads or low-fat cheese strings. Do not include donuts, Danish or fried snacks like Doritos. These foods are nutritionally empty, high in cholesterol and will pack on the pounds in no time.
Skipping breakfast is like trying to start your car on empty, so don't do it. It'll also make you ravenous by lunchtime, and you'll find yourself chowing down anything within sight. Eating a healthy breakfast will give you energy to start your day and keep you focused in class. While those Belgian waffles with syrup may look enticing in the dining hall, there are plenty of other food choices that are much healthier. Go with a hard-boiled egg and fruit or a whole grain cereal with fruits and nuts. Both are filled with protein and vitamins to get your day off to a good start.
Change your opinion about what you'd like for lunch. We're all creatures of habit and have gotten into the rut of hamburgers and French fries. Go vegan instead. You'll be eliminating unnecessary calories, unhealthy fats, nourishing your body and keeping in shape. Head for the salad bar in the dining hall and choose a variety of healthy veggies for your afternoon delight. Put together a smorgasbord of leafy greens, mushrooms, sprouts and grated cheeses on top. If you're really feeling hungry, add some lean chicken to the mix.
Think lean cuisine when choosing foods for dinner. Your day is coming to an end, and you'll be burning fewer calories. Fewer calories burned equals more fat tissue. Choose lean steaks, chicken or fish as your main source of protein for dinner. Include a healthy veggie, such as broccoli or carrots. You also need a portion of carbs for energy, so choose a natural grain rice or pasta.
With so much food available in the college dining hall, it's hard not to over indulge. To avoid this trap, be determined to only fill your plate once and forget that you're allowed seconds. Try to eat slowly, and you'll find that you won't feel the need for a second plate. This will take some discipline at first, but once you establish the habit, it'll become second nature.

During the first few days of Elul, I will be away in a city with no minyan. I have a shofar, but was wondering whether a yachid blows a shofar if possible.
On the one hand, the reasoning exists, but perhaps the minhag is similar to the primordial shofar blowing which was public (in the machane).
Since writing this question, I was able to access a Shearim Metzuyanim who quotes shu"t Tzitz Eliezer that Elul Shofar is only b'tzibur for "multiple reasons". Because of my circumstance, I was unable to get the Mare Makom. This question is still open for anyone who can access the reasons or share a different approach.

Exploring the World of Local T-Shirt Suppliers
In recent years, the fashion industry has witnessed a significant shift in consumer preferences. People are increasingly looking for products that are not only stylish but also ethically sourced and environmentally friendly. This shift in consumer behavior has given rise to a renewed interest in supporting local businesses, including local t-shirt suppliers. Here, we will explore the world of local t-shirt suppliers, nearby t-shirt manufacturers, and community-based t-shirt makers who are making a mark in the fashion industry.
The Rise of Local T-Shirt Suppliers
In an era dominated by global brands and fast fashion, the resurgence of interest in locally sourced products is heartening. Local t-shirt suppliers, often referred to as nearby t-shirt manufacturers, hometown t-shirt vendors, or community-based t-shirt makers, have been gaining prominence for several compelling reasons.
1. Supporting the Local Economy
One of the primary motivations for consumers to turn to local t-shirt suppliers is to support their local economy. When you purchase a t-shirt from a regional t-shirt distributor, you are not just buying a piece of clothing; you are investing in your community. The money spent on these t-shirts stays within your town, benefiting the local businesses and helping to create jobs.
2. Ethical Manufacturing
Local apparel suppliers are often more transparent about their manufacturing processes. They tend to adhere to stricter ethical and environmental standards. This transparency allows consumers to make more informed choices about the products they buy. Knowing that your t-shirt was made in a responsible manner can be a source of pride.
3. Unique Designs
Local t-shirt providers take pride in creating unique designs that reflect the character and culture of their communities. When you buy from these homegrown t-shirt businesses, you get a piece of clothing that tells a story – the story of your town or region. This sense of connection is something you won't find in mass-produced t-shirts from big brands.
4. Customization
Many locally operated t-shirt shops offer customization services. Whether you want to promote a local event, celebrate a hometown sports team, or simply express your individuality, these t-shirt providers can create custom designs that cater to your specific needs.
FAQs About Local T-Shirt Suppliers
Q1: Are locally sourced t-shirt providers more expensive than mass-produced brands?
A1: Not necessarily. While local t-shirt suppliers may not always compete on price alone, the value they offer in terms of unique designs, ethical manufacturing, and community support can make their products worth the investment. Prices can vary, so it's always a good idea to compare and consider the overall value.
Q2: Do local t-shirt suppliers offer a wide range of styles and sizes?
A2: Yes, many local t-shirt shops carry a diverse range of styles, sizes, and colors to cater to different tastes and preferences. Additionally, they often offer customization options, allowing you to choose the style and fit that suits you best.
Q3: How can I find local t-shirt suppliers in my area?
A3: You can discover local t-shirt suppliers by searching online directories, visiting local markets, and asking for recommendations from friends and family. Social media platforms are also a great resource for finding and connecting with nearby t-shirt manufacturers.
Q4: Are the t-shirts from local suppliers of good quality?
A4: Local t-shirt providers take pride in the quality of their products. Many of them use high-quality materials and employ meticulous craftsmanship to ensure their t-shirts are durable and comfortable to wear. Always check reviews and ask about materials and manufacturing processes if you have specific quality concerns.
Q5: How can I support local t-shirt suppliers in my community?
A5: Supporting local t-shirt suppliers is easy. Start by purchasing t-shirts and other apparel from them. You can also spread the word about their businesses through social media, attend local events they participate in, and recommend them to friends and family. Your support can make a significant difference in their success.
The world of local t-shirt suppliers, whether they are nearby t-shirt manufacturers, hometown t-shirt vendors, or community-based t-shirt makers, is thriving. These domestic t-shirt retailers offer not only unique designs but also a sense of community, ethical manufacturing, and the satisfaction of knowing that your purchase supports local businesses. So, the next time you're in need of a new t-shirt, consider exploring the offerings of your neighborhood t-shirt wholesalers and become a part of the movement to strengthen local economies and promote responsible fashion.

In response to the urgent need to reduce the number of new HIV infections globally, WHO and the UNAIDS Secretariat convened an international expert consultation to determine whether male circumcision should be recommended for the prevention of HIV infection.
Based on the evidence presented, which was considered to be compelling, experts attending the consultation recommended that male circumcision now be recognized as an additional important intervention to reduce the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men. The international consultation, which was held 6-8 March 2007 in Montreux, Switzerland, was attended by participants representing a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, civil society, researchers, human rights and women's health advocates, young people, funding agencies and implementing partners.
"The recommendations represent a significant step forward in HIV prevention," said Dr Kevin De Cock, Director, HIV/AIDS Department in WHO. "Countries with high rates of heterosexual HIV infection and low rates of male circumcision now have an additional intervention which can reduce the risk of HIV infection in heterosexual men. Scaling up male circumcision in such countries will result in immediate benefit to individuals. However, it will be a number of years before we can expect to see an impact on the epidemic from such investment."
There is now strong evidence from three randomized controlled trials undertaken in Kisumu, Kenya; Rakai District, Uganda (funded by the US National Institutes of Health); and Orange Farm, South Africa (funded by the French National Agency for Research on AIDS) that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%. This evidence supports the findings of numerous observational studies that have also suggested that the geographical correlation long described between lower HIV prevalence and high rates of male circumcision in some countries in Africa, and more recently elsewhere, is, at least in part, a causal association. Currently, 665 million men, or 30 % of men worldwide, are estimated to be circumcised.
- Male circumcision should be part of a comprehensive HIV prevention package
- Male circumcision should always be considered as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention package, which includes
- the provision of HIV testing and counselling services;
- treatment for sexually transmitted infections;
- the promotion of safer sex practices; and
- the provision of male and female condoms and promotion of their correct and consistent use.
Counselling of men and their sexual partners is necessary to prevent them from developing a false sense of security and engaging in high-risk behaviours that could undermine the partial protection provided by male circumcision. Furthermore, male circumcision service provision was seen as a major opportunity to address the frequently neglected sexual health needs of men.
"Being able to recommend an additional HIV prevention method is a significant step towards getting ahead of this epidemic," said Catherine Hankins, Associate Director, Department of Policy, Evidence and Partnerships at UNAIDS. "However, we must be clear: Male circumcision does not provide complete protection against HIV. Men and women who consider male circumcision as an HIV preventive method must continue to use other forms of protection such as male and female condoms, delaying sexual debut and reducing the number of sexual partners."
Need for quality and safe services
Health services in many developing countries are weak and there is a shortage of skilled health professionals. There is a need, therefore, to ensure that male circumcision services for HIV prevention do not unduly disrupt other health care programmes, including other HIV/AIDS interventions. In order to both maximize the opportunity afforded by male circumcision and ensure longer-term sustainability of services, male circumcision should, wherever possible, be integrated with other services.
The risks involved in male circumcision are generally low, but can be serious if circumcision is undertaken in unhygienic settings by poorly trained providers or with inadequate instruments. Wherever male circumcision services are offered, therefore, training and certification of providers, as well as careful monitoring and evaluation of programmes, will be necessary to ensure that these meet their objectives and that quality services are provided safely in sanitary settings, with adequate equipment and with appropriate counselling and other services.
Male circumcision has strong cultural connotations implying the need also to deliver services in a manner that is culturally sensitive and that minimizes any stigma that might be associated with circumcision status. Countries should ensure that male circumcision is undertaken with full adherence to medical ethics and human rights principles, including informed consent, confidentiality and absence of coercion.
Maximizing public health benefit
A significant public health impact is likely to occur most rapidly if male circumcision services are first provided where the incidence of heterosexually acquired HIV infection is high. It was therefore recommended that countries with high prevalence, generalized heterosexual HIV epidemics that currently have low rates of male circumcision consider urgently scaling up access to male circumcision services. A more rapid public health benefit will be achieved if age groups at highest risk of acquiring HIV are prioritized, although providing male circumcision services to younger age groups will also have public health impact over the longer term. Modelling studies suggest that male circumcision in sub-Saharan Africa could prevent 5.7 million new cases of HIV infection and 3 million deaths over 20 years.
Experts at the meeting agreed that the cost-effectiveness of male circumcision is acceptable for an HIV prevention measure and that, in view of the large potential public health benefit of expanding male circumcision services, countries should also consider providing the services free of charge or at the lowest possible cost to the client, as for other essential services.
In countries where the HIV epidemic is concentrated in specific population groups such as sex workers, injecting drug users or men who have sex with men, there would be limited public health impact from promoting male circumcision in the general population. However, there may be an individual benefit for men at high risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection.
More research needed
Experts at the meeting identified a number of areas where additional research is required to inform the further development of male circumcision programmes. These included
- the impact of male circumcision on sexual transmission from HIV-infected men to women;
- the impact of male circumcision on the health of women for reasons other than HIV transmission (e.g. lessened rates of cancer of the cervix);
- the risks and benefits of male circumcision for HIV-positive men;
- the protective benefit of male circumcision in the case of insertive partners engaging in homosexual or heterosexual anal intercourse; and
- research into the resources needed for, and most effective ways, to expand quality male circumcision services.
Research to determine whether there are modifications in perceptions and HIV risk behaviour over the longer term in men who are circumcised for HIV prevention, and in their communities, will also be essential.

As the snows continue to melt away and we can begin to envision warmer days and the return of leaves on trees, flowers on the ground, and birds from southern lands, we also have the return of the annual National History Day event. On March 4, students in Joplin will be participating in the event that will culminate in competition on the state level in Columbia in April.
To learn more about History Day, we contacted Dr. Paul Teverow, a professor of History at Missouri Southern State University since 1982, and the National History Day Coordinator for Missouri Region 6. Dr. Teverow was kind enough to answer some questions we had about the event.
Historic Joplin: What is National History Day?
Dr. Teverow: It is an academic program for students grades 8-12. Students present their research and analysis — in the form of papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries, or websites — on historical topics of their choosing related to the annual theme. The 2011 theme is "Debate and Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences."
Historic Joplin: When did it come to Joplin?
Dr. Teverow: I believe 1979 was the first year at MSSU, where the Social Sciences Department has always sponsored the contest for this part of Missouri.
Historic Joplin: How did you become involved with History Day?
Dr. Teverow: When I came to MSSU in 1982, I joined colleagues in the Social Sciences Department who served as judges. In 1989, the Department Head asked if I would serve as contest coordinator. And that's the way it's been.
Historic Joplin: What has surprised you most about the students participating in National History Day?
Dr. Teverow: I am first of all surprised by the high quality of so many entries. Stories about education and student achievement today tend to focus on the low motivation and achievement of American youth. But in most of the entries, I see a depth of research not so common "in my day." Some of them have found primary sources in archives & online that even judges familiar with the topic had not known about. On the few occasions when I have judged in recent years, I have also been impressed by quality of presentation in the exhibits, performances, and documentaries. Many students show a real talent for presenting their research in an engaging manner. If you saw the best of these entries in a museum or on PBS, you'd believe that they were created by professionals. Plus who would not be surprised to be an in auditorium full of 12-18 year olds who are genuinely excited to be participating in an academic contest?
Historic Joplin: We've had science fairs for decades, why do you think it took so long to have an event for history established?
Dr. Teverow: It's true that History Day has not been around as long as Science Fair, but at 37 years [the first contest was in 1974], it's hardly the new kid on the block. You're right; it is still not as well known as Science Fair, but each year, about 500,000 students nationwide participate. That's not chopped liver!
Historic Joplin: What are the benefits of History Day for students? For teachers?
Dr. Teverow: First and foremost, History Day gets students excited about history. Researching a History Day project has to be among the best way for students to learn that history matters: that events in the past have shaped their world; that what people choose to do and how they choose to do it have consequences; that for almost everything they take for granted, the past presents alternatives, some disastrous, some surprisingly viable. I have also had several History Day alumni and their parents tell me that History Day played a very valuable role in preparing them for college, because in the course of creating a History Day entry, they develop:
â— critical thinking and problem-solving skills
â— research and reading skills
â— oral and written communication and presentation skills
Teachers also testify to the educational benefits. They have shared with me examples of how History Day motivates students and brings out hitherto hidden talents.
Historic Joplin: Is participation growing every year?
Dr. Teverow: During my almost 30-year involvement, it has fluctuated quite a bit, with about 200 total entries in a "normal" year. This year, because many schools are cutting back on anything that requires transportation off-campus, I expect participation to be down a bit.
Historic Joplin: Do students cover Joplin/Southwest Missouri personalities and topics? Have any stuck out in your mind as memorable?
Dr. Teverow: So long as it can be connected with the annual theme, ANY topic in world, US, or local history is fair game. I do find that for some students, a topic with a local connection makes history seem more immediate. It may also lead them to unusual primary sources and help them better understand how historians use primary sources to reconstruct the past. Of course, with entries on local history, it is especially important to place the developments in the context of broader developments during the period in question. Here is a sampling of award-winning entries from the past few years with local connections:
2006 Sarah Mouton, Carthage High School, Carthage, Teacher/s: Caroline Tubbs; A Talking Campaign: Emily Newell Blair Takes a Stand for Social Justice and Political Equality.
2007 CORY BAKER, SARCOXIE HS Teacher(s): DIANNE ELLIOTT
Entry Title: RIPE FOR THE PICKING: THE STORY OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
2008 JENNIE SNYDER CARTHAGE JUNIOR HIGH Teacher(s): KATHLEEN SWIFT/SUE PITTS Entry Title: COMPROMISING A LIFE: NANCY CRUZAN'S CONFLICT IN DEATH
2009 Julia Lewis Annie Baxter: Woman, Wife, and County Clerk Annie Baxter: Woman, Wife, and County Clerk Joplin, MO, Joplin High School, Andy
2010 Eric Peer, Hoisting Joplin to Fame: The Freeman Hoist
Carthage, MO, Home School TEACHER(s) Julie Peer
Historic Joplin: How can individuals who aren't teachers and students be involved? Can people donate money to support National History Day?
Dr. Teverow: I'm always on the lookout for judges. History Day could not work without qualified judges. In the end, what most students take away from History Day is feedback from the judges. Having someone show an interest in the project they have put hours into researching and developing, being able to be the expert when someone asks them questions, hearing and reading praise for what they have done right and constructive comments on what could have made the project even better — all of these things make students feel that their efforts were worthwhile and keep students coming back. Over the years, I have been fortunate to have a great corps of judges. They include my colleagues in the Social Sciences Department, MSSU faculty from several other departments, professionals from area museums and archives, retired teachers, and people in various walks of life with a love of history.
Yes, national History Day welcomes donations. See http://nhd.org/WhySupport.htm I am embarrassed to say that until I read your question, I had not thought of establishing a special History Day fund at MSSU, but I will definitely look into it.
Thank you for your time and answers, Dr. Teverow!
In addition to the information provided to us by Dr. Teverow, an independent evaluation of the program just released findings that support the benefit of National History Day to students. The evaluation discovered that students who participated in National History Day performed better on standardized tests than non-participating students, and not just in history, but other subjects like mathematics, reading and science.
Understandably, History Day is something we can definitely get behind here at Historic Joplin! For information on National History Day, just click on this link.
