Bestiary :: The Sound of One Wing Flapping
This shard also caught our eye.
A Palette of Wings: The Natural History of Butterfly Collecting reminds us that there are things even more ephemeral than the powdery wings of moths and butterflies. The works of (hu)Man, just for starters. Butterfly collections were once the domain of the enthusiast – captured, killed and arranged in response to personal imperatives, idiosyncratic taxonomies, unknowable desires. Now the great personal collections of the 18th and 19th centuries have mostly been dissembled and re-arranged 'systematically', according to the strictures of modern taxonomy. This short essay, replete with gorgeous examples of Lepidoptera, includes a useful overview of the process of preparing specimens for display. It seems to involve a lot of bits of paper and methods to 'relax' the justifiably tense butterfly.
I must say, Inky never seems to fuss around with his collection half so much -- and he's the most distinguished Entomotaxist I know.
Although I got him with this one!
Butterflies you can see through. It turns out that these are not quite as rare as you might suppose. For example, Scotland is not a country one associates with the small and delicate, yet it is the home of the astonishing…Glasswing
And most of South America seems to be infested with the sneaky functionally-invisible things.
The commonest seems to be the Greta oto. This is a butterfly after MoD's own heart – a poisonous nightshade feeder that converts it toxicity to come-hither pheromones when the time is right...
Wikipedia >>
"Greta oto is a brush-footed butterfly, and is a member of the clearwing clade. Its Spanish name is espejitos, which means "little mirrors." It is one of the more abundant clearwing species in its home range, which extends throughout Central America into Mexico. Its wingspan is between 5.5 and 6 cm. Adults inhabit the rainforest understory and feed on the nectar of a variety of tropical flowers. G. oto prefers to lay its eggs on plants of the tropical nightshade genus Cestrum. The silvery-gray caterpillars feed on these toxic plants and store the alkaloids in their tissues, making them distasteful to predators such as birds. They retain their toxicity in adulthood. The same alkaloids that make them poisonous also are converted into pheromones by the males, which use them to attract females. G. oto adults also exhibit a number of interesting behaviors, such as long migrations and lekking among males."Even Australia has its own Glasswing -- also commonly called Little Greasy and Small Greasy... Australians being the poetic types they are. Australia's Glasswing Butterflies, found in Queensland, are not quite so impressively transparent.
Of course there really isn't any truly good news.
"As human populations grow, butterfly populations tend to shrink. Thus, the future of the exotic glasswing butterfly is uncertain. As part of the growing international trade of butterflies, specimens are often taken from the wild, but may also be cultivated for sale on butterfly ranches. Intensive farming with agrochemicals and increased ranching in the Andes greatly threaten the glasswing species and its associates. Other activities that make room for man, such as extensive logging and coal mining, also devastate the crucial habitat of the glasswings"North Coast Cafe blog >>

BREAKING NEWS: Politico Claims Hillary Will Run Again in 2020!
Without providing any actual proof, liberal rag Politico thinks so.
Considering she could barely get through the 2016 election without collapsing (oh wait she did collapse…..) anyway, the point if she did not have the stamina this time around, imagine 2020.
We don't think she could even with the DNC nomination if she does.
From Politico:
Hillary Clinton will run for president. Again.
No inside information informs this prediction. No argument is advanced as to whether her run is a good or a bad idea—there are many ways to make a case either way. Instead, this is just a statement of simple facts (if facts mean anything anymore, that is). And the facts are clear that the former secretary of state is doing everything she needs to do to run for the White House one more time. If she finds a path to do so, she will take it. And I can prove it.
Consider. Shortly after Clinton's shock-the-world, hysteria-inducing defeat last November, the Clinton Global Initiative announced plans to cease operations. The CGI—the most scandal-plagued arm of the Clinton Foundation—was a ground zero of grief for the Clinton campaign. Labeled a slush fund for political operations, paid for by foreign governments, it was an endless and easy target of complaints about conflicts of interest and graft. Yet despite pleas to do so by various supporters throughout the 2016 campaign, the Clintons time and again refused to shut it down. Which raises the question: What advantage, other than a political one, is there to doing so now?
Similarly, why did the Clintons allow rumors to circulate—rumors they still haven't officially quashed—that the former secretary of state was/is/might be considering a run for mayor of New York City? For the thrill of it? Out of spite toward the current mayor, who supported her candidacy for the White House? Or might there be another reason to keep alive the idea that Hillary Clinton's political fortunes aren't in the rear-view mirror?
This month, Clinton signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster. That alone isn't noteworthy. This, after all, would be her seventh book, if you count her campaign policy venture/insomnia cure, Stronger Together. But added to all the other activities afoot, it raises a few questions. Does she really have that much more to say? Or might there be another reason, besides money that she does not need, to go on a book tour, answer humiliating questions about losing to Donald Trump and stay in the headlines?
And just days ago, Clinton trolled Trump on Twitter over the courtroom defeat of his executive order banning citizens from seven majority-Muslim nations. She didn't have to do that, of course. Most defeated rivals disappear after their loss. Instead, Clinton sounded very much like she was still on the campaign trail. (Because, of course, she is.)
Finally, consider last November's concession speech to Trump. Absent in her remarks was any indication, as one might have expected, that she was going gentle into that good night, handing the baton to a new generation or even to a new leader. Instead, Clinton talked more about the future—explicitly including herself in that future—than she did about the past.
"I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will," she said, adding, "and hopefully sooner than we might think right now." She then quoted a line of Scripture: "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap if we do not lose heart." And she concluded, tellingly, with this: "So my friends, let us have faith in each other, let us not grow weary, let us not lose heart, for there are more seasons to come. And there is more work to do."
This was not Richard Nixon's bitter "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" when he lost a race for governor in 1962 and thought his political career was over. This was someone looking ahead. More seasons to come.
At the moment, of course, the idea of another Clinton presidential campaign—what would be the fifth since 1992—seems outlandish, even exhausting. Who'd want to go through all that mess again? But four years is plenty of time for memories to subside.
And it's true that in another era, a candidate Clinton's age might have been deemed too old for the presidency. But in 2020, Hillary Clinton will be 73, one year younger than the incumbent seeking reelection.
Also in another era, her political career might have been seen as having passed its expiration date. She's twice run for the White House—and lost. But Ronald Reagan didn't think that way. He ran in 1968, and again in 1976, nearly beating the incumbent Gerald Ford for the GOP nomination, before his ultimate victory in 1980.
Besides, consider the alternative: having a chance to run for a third time—and squandering it. Al Gore first sought the presidency in 1988 and then again in 2000, when he won the popular vote against George W. Bush and came within a few hundred hanging chads of winning the decisive state of Florida. Anyone think Gore still doesn't wonder what might have happened had he pursued a rematch against Bush four years later? (As it happens, Bush barely beat John Kerry in 2004, 50.7 percent to 48.3 percent.)
More recent history might well be very different today if Mitt Romney had made a third run for the presidency in 2016, which, by most accounts, he was sorely tempted to do—and on more than one occasion. Romney, too, almost assuredly is still asking himself whether he made a mistake by staying out.
Clinton is not going to want to spend the rest of her life haunted by the question of "What if?" What if I could run again—and win? Besides, seeking the White House has been her aspiration for decades. What else is there for her to do?
Yes, barring some calamity, Clinton is running. And this brave columnist will go one step further. Not only will Clinton run again, she has an excellent shot at getting the Democratic Party nomination again. But only if she approaches it quite differently. Here's some advice for her.

How to do this yourself: Imaging the ISS and shuttle is actually fairly simple. Required gear and information:
An old 60s vintage Criterion RV-6 was donated to our club a few years ago. I finally got around to restoring it, and these are a few photos of the work.
I don't do a whole lot of full sky views, but I'll try it now and then. Easy to do, just mount he camera on a polar aligned scope and let it go for a while. Here are a few of those images.

Here's what happens when a man with a camera meets one of the most picturesque places in the world.
Our John Blaine recently went west to walk through Yosemite National Park, take in the sights of San Francisco, and finally, photograph the Giants game at Oakland on Sunday afternoon.
Located in California's Sierra Nevada mountain, Yosemite National Park covers over 700,00 acres and is best known for its waterfalls, granite cliffs, sequoia groves and wildlife.
"No bears," Blaine remarked. "I wanted to see a bear. Yosemite is beautiful."
The trip continued to San Francisco where Blaine captured the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and sea lions in the city's Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood.

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) May 11, 2016
Reflex Photonics is proud to announce that its proprietary MicroClip™ MT ferrule design has proven it can withstand a 1 kg live traffic fiber pull test on a 12-fiber ribbon cable pigtail mated to its LightABLE™ products (40G SR4 and 120G SR12), without any signal performance degradation.
This result exceeds by a factor of 2 the requirements of Telecordia GR-468-CORE Fiber Integrity Side Pull Test and confirms the reliability of the Reflex Photonics fiber ribbon interface with the LightABLE™ and its MicroClip™ ferrule. The MicroClip™ is a low-profile, low-mass spring loaded mechanical assembly that offers a rugged optical connection that is resistant for shock and vibration and is suitable for harsh environment.
The LightABLE™ products are multichannel opt-electronic interconnects operating at 10 Gbps per lane and offering the following features: small SWaP, operation over a large temperature range (-40 °C to 85 °C) and storage temperature from -57 °C to 125 °C. The LightABLE™ can be surface mounted or plugged on a board, and will support high temperature reflow process and operation with a link budget better than 13 dB.
Mr. Jocelyn Lauzon, Product Line Manager at Reflex Photonics adds "This is an impressive accomplishment as the live traffic fiber pull test was conducted by applying a weight to a ribbon cable that included transmitter and receiver channels in a loopback configuration; thus any slight degradation of the optical interface would have had an exponential impact on the measured traffic errors.
A 10 Gbps traffic was present on each channel for the duration of the test (10 minutes), with the optical power adjusted to the sensitivity limit of the product, and we did not observe any error on any channel. This represents a bit error rate (BER) better than 10-13. This milestone complements the recent successful environmental qualification tests of the LightABLE™ products and demonstrates the reliability and robustness of its integrated optical fiber interface."

My name is Lumi St. Claire, and I am a 30-something (recovering) primary care doctor. After a whopping eleven years in the field battling managed care restrictions, insurance companies, and terminally broken administrations, my white doctor's coat officially caught fire and I burned out. Rather than try to dust myself off again working as a clinician, I made the unorthodox decision to completely restart my career as a medical and educational consultant, much to the horror of my colleagues. I mean, when you've finished four years of college, four years of medical school, three years of residency training, and over half a decade of clinical practice, you don't just pack up and LEAVE, do you?
Or do you?

1 t fresh ginger, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, finely minced, no seeds!
2 T cilantro, chopped
2 t garam masala (optional, add spices such as curry and chili pepper)
1 lime, juiced
½ C unsweetened dried coconut (or fresh grated coconut)
1/3 C bread crumbs

2. Mince the ginger, garlic, the jalapeno pepper very finely and add them to the tuna.
3. Add the dried spices. Then add the lime juice, coconut, salt and eggs. Mix all the ingredients of the tuna cake together well.
4. Shape the mixture into a patty, about the size of a hockey puck or a peanut butter jar lid. If it is not sticking together, add another 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs.

Did you know?
ü That coriander is the seed, or the powdered seed, of the same plant that grows cilantro leaves.

Live Show Recording What cooking at PTZOptics? How can we make #livestreaming easier for corporate america?
Hello AV & IT Professionals,
In this weeks live stream we are talking about solving a major hurdle companies face when it comes to live streaming. The technology is available, free in some cases, but companies need to look professional with the necessary branding assets before they "Go Live". Many businesses are hesitant to start live streaming as a way to communicate with their audiences out of fear of looking bad. It's important for businesses to be cautious and health restraint when it comes to new technology is wise. But "live streaming" is not a new technology. Everyone know what it's like to watch TV. The difference today is that the power of live broadcasting is easily available to any business of any size without restriction on major broadcast budgets.
So, in this episode we have completely "re-branded" our normal show. The show theme will be a cooking show and everything from the font, to logos, virtual sets and physical objects like a chef's hat will be included. The point of this webinar is not to host a cooking show but explain how easy it is for companies to brand a live show. If you need to start from scratch, don't fear, there are freelancers who can help you. But the important take away is that with a little work your company can create a beautifully branded experience you can use over and over again to create amazing video content.

Celebrating the Contributions of Johnnie Owens
Most weekends in Old North St. Louis are filled with community-building events and activities. This weekend was no different, with Friday night's Cinema St. Louis screening of HomeGrown in the Old North Gallery, Saturday morning's North City Farmers' Market, and the community meeting Saturday afternoon to discuss future activities for the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group. Until recently, we could have counted on Johnnie Owens to have shown up at each of those events. However, due to a difficult battle with cancer, Johnnie hasn't been able to get out very much lately. On Saturday morning, though, Johnnie did get out to the Hebert Community Garden, across the street from her home, for the unveiling of a new sign dedicating the garden to Johnnie, as a tribute to one of Old North's most beloved residents and one of the neighborhood's most reliable and reasonable leaders.
Thank you Johnnie for all you've done for Old North St. Louis, as a dedicated board member & officer of the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group; as a tireless worker in and advocate for the Hebert Garden; as an outgoing and welcoming neighbor; and as a generous, thoughtful, and caring friend.
UPDATE: To see more photos from the dedication visit the Old North St. Louis flickr site or just click HERE.

Dr. Kevin Lam of the Family Foot and Leg Center, PA presents
Don't have neuroma surgery until you see this, what your doctor may not know.
Full video from nerve block to radiofrequency ablation video.
Many people suffer from neuromas, that is the #2 reason for visits to our office. Usually conservative care of NSAIDS, injection and therapy helps w the condition, but for those that do not respond to conservative care, you have choice of surgery which has up to 50% complication rates. We offer Radiofrequency ablation therapy to help shrink and injure the nerve so that it no longer conducts pain signals. #neuroma #nosurgery #paininfoot #Radiofrequencyablationneuroma #neuromas
What is a neuroma?
Morton's neuroma is an inflamed nerve that causes pain, tingling and numbness in the ball of the foot. Many complain of a bunched up sock under the ball of the foot, while others complain of walking on a lump, a large pebble or a lamp cord. Some describe a "twang", like a guitar string, in the ball of their foot. The pain can dull in the ball of the foot or can be radiating, electrical, tingling or burning and shoot to the 3rd and 4th toes. The pain is worsened with tight shoes, standing, walking, hills and stairs and generally relieved by rest and removal of shoes.
The initial treatment for Morton's neuroma is to eliminate factors which may have caused or aggravated it. In many cases, tight shoes cramp the toes and press on the nerve, causing irritation, inflammation and pain. Over-pronation causes forefoot instability and excess movement of the long bones in the foot. This type of abnormal foot mechanics, in combination with soft, flexible shoes can cause a neuroma.Icing the ball of the foot twice a day for 15 minutes and/or contrasting between hot and cold for 30 minutes each day will help decrease the inflammation. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can also decrease the inflammation and the pain. A neuroma pad will help disperse forefoot pressure, decreasing irritation on the nerve. Steroid injections and nerve sclerosing injections may also be used.When conservative therapy fails, surgery is recommended. Surgery involves releasing the ligament placing pressure on the nerve or removing the neuroma. When the neuroma is removed, permanent numbness at the toes will result, but toe function is not affected.In a new study published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, researchers found extracorporeal shockwave therapy to be a safe and effective treatment for Morton's neuroma. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a treatment which directs powerful sounds waves at an area of injury. The sounds waves create vibrations causing microtrauma to the tissues.
The body responds by creating new blood vessels and sending healing factors and inflammatory cells to the area to stimulate the natural healing process. ESWT has been used for the treatment of kidney stones for many years. In the year 2000, the FDA approved ESWT for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis, a painful condition in the heel. ESWT is not currently approved for the treatment of neuromas.In this study, researchers divided twenty five patients with a Morton's neuroma, unresponsive to at least eight months of conservative therapy, to an active treatment group or a sham treatment group. Both groups were taken into the procedure room and given intravenous sedation and a local anesthetic. The active treatment group received extracorporeal shockwave therapy and the sham group received no treatment.
At 12 weeks following the procedure, the group with the extracorporeal shockwave therapy had significant pain reduction compared to the sham treatment group. Potential complications associated with extracorporeal shockwave therapy include bruising, pain, swelling, nerve damage and hemorrhage, but the incidence is less than 1%. This results of this study are encouraging and ESWT may prove to be an effective treatment alternative to surgery. But, this is a small study and further research is needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for the treatment of Morton's neuroma.
FFLC has both the high energy and low energy modality for your care. Discuss with your doctor which is right for you.

- Do you have common symptoms of, " Pain, burning, feeling of a marble or rock in my shoe, toes spreading apart."
- Most common space is between either the 2nd and 3rd toes or the 3rd and 4th toes. Often times people have it in both spaces.
- Tight shoes can irritate, or high heels
- Did you know that 75% of Americans wear shoe that is too small for them?
- MRI can help but not always diagnostic
- Ultrasound exam can be accurate but is dependent your ultrasound tech's experience
- Clinical exam and history is the best way to diagnose neuroma.

Ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation of Morton's neuroma: A substitute for surgery
Ahmed M.Bassiouny
To assess the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of Morton's neuroma (MN) as a substitute to surgery, in patients not responding to conservative treatment.
All of the 15 patients suffered from intense pain during their normal daily activity prior to RF ablation, pretreatment VAS average was 7. Follow up of the patients was done after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. After RF ablation, pain disappeared in 9 cases (60%), 3 had mild pain (20%), 2 moderate pain (13.3%) and 1 with severe pain (6.6%) and proceeded to surgery. Complete resolution of pain was encountered in the patients with mild and moderate pain with conservative or second session of RFA. Conclusion
Radiofrequency ablation of Morton's neuroma, is an effective technique in treatment of symptomatic patient's after failure of conservative treatment and prior to surgical intervention.

If you are a patient with disorders on the feet and lower limbs, the Virtual consultation will surely help you.
We are a HIPAA Compliant facility and our Board-Certified podiatrists can treat conditions resulting from bone and joint disorders of the foot.
Our convenient, virtual consultation service is a great option if you have a busy schedule, or prefer the privacy of an online consultation.
We also offer our exclusive state of the art Radiofrequency Ablation technology for this common problem of the foot, neuromas. This is a small probe that is inserted into the neuroma(s) and a 90 degrees celcius heat is applied to the nerve causing damage to the nerve so that it will no longer conduct pain signals. This technology is used heavily in the neck and spine for nerve pain as well as for destruction of tumors. Procedure itself is totally painless. Patient is examined by our FFLC doctors, then determine if you are a candidate. The procedure is done in our operating suite at 12250 Tamiami Trail East, suite 101 Naples, FL 34113. The foot is prepped then nerves around the ankle is numbed with local anesthetics. 2 -3 application of the RadioFrequency tip is done for the treatment. Often times a second treatment is required at 1-2 months depending on patient recovery. Light band aid is applied and the patient walks out of the office. It is FDA approved as a medical / surgical device but insurance will not recognize such for payment for use in the foot.
Stump neuroma cured!
Stump neuromas are prevalent about 50% of the time with surgical removal
of the neuroma. Sometimes this could be more painful than the
original neuroma itself.
Patients who have had neuroma surgery and
failed, which are 50% of patients would benefit from Radiofrequency
ablation at the Family Foot and Leg Center in Naples, FL.
www.NaplesPodiatrist.com #swfl #topdoc #naplesfl
Radiofrequency ablation is a great alternative to stubborn neuromas not responsive to injections, antiinflammatories, physical therapy and orthotics therapy. NO side effects noted from this procedure as the nerve is heated at 90C for 90 seconds x 2. Patients are treated once, then again one month after. Physical therapy after is mandatory as well as topical medication to help with the condition. Shockwave therapy can also add to benefit of none operative neuroma cures. We have a video of that also.

We are in lovely and cooler Vermont and thinking of you and my now dancable foot.
My brother Gary says hi. He also knows about foot pain and the joy of being fixed by your skilled hands.
See you at my next appointment.
Dear Dr Lam,
I appreciate all the care you have done for me for so many years and I'm so glad that you have taken care of my mom as well. May your business increase and may good things come your way, as you are a gift to all your patients who really need you.
You're the Best,
Sharon S., Naples
Dr. Lam performed major correction of a congenital condition of both forefeet. In time, I would have been greatly reduced mobility-wise and comfort-wise…..a nearly crippling condition. I researched a second opinion through a major practice at a major Chicago hospital group just to understand my options given the seriousness of my prognosis. The left surgery reconstructed 75% of my foot, the right done in late 2013 a year after the first, is major but far less severe. This is major work, and I wouldn't want anyone else but Kevin Lam to do the work. If one takes the time to learn Dr. Lam's history and has reason to work with the physical therapy staff, their excellence is easy to discern for yourself. My wife had a noninvasive regenerative procedure for a torn tendon two years ago. This is how I met Dr. Lam and gained the fullest confidence in him. Said a different way, Dr. Lam and his practice are leaders in their field and truly care about patient outcomes. Their control over difficult processes and ensuring and explaining cautious recovery in a business-like way is there for the patient. Pain and wound management are incredible because they care and because they have the skills. They have great pride in their work, which deserves patient recognition. Pride and concern are too frequently lacking in our society. Not at the Family Foot and Leg Center.

Is It Safe to Study Abroad in the Middle East?
"So you're from America," she said curiously. We sat in a back alley cafe in Cairo, sipping tea and smoking shisha after work.
"I'd love to go there," my Egyptian colleague puffed out another fruit-flavored smoke cloud. "But it's too dangerous. People being shot in malls and movie theaters and raped on college campuses. I'd be too scared. I'm sure it's lovely though."
This was not a rare conversation I was having after work with new colleagues from across the Middle East. Even when I traveled to the favelas in Brazil, locals would remark, "New York? Dangerous place! So many guns!"
We cannot say that studying abroad anywhere at anytime in the Middle East is safe; we can only provide some guidelines to help you to study abroad in the region in a safe manner.
Danger, in large part, is a matter of perspective. No place is ever entirely safe, and no place is ever entirely dangerous. One of my close friends from New York used to live in Kabul -- during the war. Another, after backpacking solo across Africa, was only ever mugged in London. Therefore, we cannot say that studying abroad anywhere at anytime in the Middle East is safe; we can only provide some guidelines to help you to study abroad in the region in a safe manner.
Stay Up to Date on Political and Safety Conditions
Before embarking on any travel -- to the Middle East or otherwise -- it's important to consult with two sources: the US State Department and a handful of locals. The US State Department has up-to-date travel warnings and should be consulted to see if any country or region within a country is reasonably considered unstable.
However, if we only consider the US State Department warnings, we probably wouldn't even venture out our front doors.
The next best thing to do is track down one or more sources of local intelligence: a friend presently living in the country, a university professor who has deep knowledge of the region, a friend, classmate, or coworker who is originally from that place with family still living there.
Ask them about daily life and safety in their country. Share with them the US State Department's take on the current situation and see where there is validity and where the government is simply making sure its bases are covered in case of a rare instance of violence or terrorism.
Next, choose your program carefully. It's not so much about one country being "safer" than another, but about going overseas with a reputable institute or provider in the first place.
If a well-regarded university has a partnership with a well-regarded study abroad organization that has many years of experience running their program, then you can rest assured they would not choose a country, or continue to offer a program in a country, that is temporarily unstable or that otherwise puts themselves or their participants at risk. (Editor's Note: Go Overseas has reviews of study abroad programs in the Middle East to help you figure these questions out!)
Have a trusted taxi driver's number in your phone and arrange transport before the night gets too hectic.
Once you're in your study abroad country, it's important to stay abreast of the current political situation since things can change quickly. Sign up for US State Department alerts and register yourself at the local American embassy when you get settled in. If anything happens, you'll be informed -- and in good hands.
Follow These General Safety Tips
1. Women, dress appropriately
It's wise to cover your knees and forearms at all times, no matter which country in the Middle East you are in. You might be able to "get away" with wearing shorts in Cairo, but you will feel ten times more comfortable in appropriate attire (and better avoid sexual harassment while studying abroad.)
2. Take cues from your surroundings
If the bar is only filled with men, then ladies, you might not be welcome. If the streets suddenly become empty on your exploratory stroll, turn around. Ask for directions if you are lost. Pay attention to your surroundings and act accordingly.
3. If you need something when you're out, ask a person of the same gender
This is not entirely logical for someone coming from a Western upbringing, but in most parts of the Middle East, it can be extremely offensive for a man to approach a woman he doesn't know, and a foreign lady approaching a local man is usually seen as improper and promiscuous. So ladies, if you find that you're lost and need directions, look for someone of the same gender to ask for help.
4. Never walk alone at night, obviously
This isn't specific to staying safe while studying abroad in the Middle East -- I wouldn't walk alone at night in some parts of New York -- but it's still relevant. Don't do it, no matter how short the walk may seem. Have a trusted taxi driver's number in your phone and arrange transport before the night gets too hectic.
5. Always carry a charged local cell phone
And make sure you have these three phone numbers on it:
- The police
- Your primary contact in the study abroad program
- Your favorite cab driver who works late
If you're on a pay-as-you go phone plan, also always make sure you have phone credit. Don't be stingy with this one -- I don't care how strict your budget is.
6. Consider carrying a whistle
It's a trick I read about a long time ago, and even works if a stray dog runs up to you or if you get trapped in a bathroom on a train.
7. Never be publicly drunk
Especially in the Middle East, this is a cultural offense in many places and something that could be taken into the hands of conservative locals or even the authorities -- who may have you arrested. Remember, you're not at home anymore. Be respectful.
8. Consider worse-case scenarios and plan for them with trusted guides
I once asked my Egyptian colleagues what I should do if a strange man ever follows me in Cairo -- and it happened -- and they said to scream loudly at him to go away and wave my shoe at him, ready to clobber him if he comes close -- and I did. And it worked.
I would have never thought to take off my flip-flop and cause a scene if I was being followed, but I learned that public humiliation is one of the best ways to tackle an inappropriate Egyptian man.
It's impossible to tell you straight-out "yes, studying abroad in the Middle East is safe," just as surely as I can't tell you that road-tripping across the United States, backpacking through Brazil, or running with the bulls is safe or unsafe.
Not to mention the local women see a fellow lady in potential danger and come running to help. (This also goes back to never being alone -- you want people around who can come to your rescue if need be.)
9. Lastly, make lots of local friends
They are the best source of what to do and where to go -- and what not to do and where not to go. (Every city has its dangerous places and times of day, but if you stay in the main, well-trafficked areas of most any capital city at logical hours, you are more than likely to be just fine.) And how else would you learn about culturally acceptable shoe-waving self-defense tactics?
In the End, Safety Depends on You
It's impossible to tell you straight-out "yes, studying abroad in the Middle East is safe," just as surely as I can't tell you that road-tripping across the United States, backpacking through Brazil, or running with the bulls is safe or unsafe.
Heck, I can't even tell you crossing the street is safe, because it depends on how you go about it. Staying on the curb, looking both ways, and walking in the crosswalk helps ensure you get from point A to point B without harm, and studying abroad -- in the Middle East or anywhere -- is exactly the same way.
If you look at where you're going, select who you're going there with, and follow these basic precautions that involve a good dose of both common sense and tips and tricks learned from the experience of others in the region, then you're on the right track for having a safe and enjoyable study abroad experience wherever your passport takes you.
