Last year, my wife and I took a trip to experience the real story of Thanksgiving and its history.

We went to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Plymouth Massachusetts. We saw The Mayflower and the Plymouth Rock and learned 3 reasons why America celebrates The Thanksgiving Holiday.

1. A good harvest

2. Winning different battles in war

3. Religious reasons

This is the story of Thanksgiving- Happy Thanksgiving from Bassam Mechammil and my family

The Thanksgiving Story

Most stories of Thanksgiving history start with the harvest celebration of the pilgrims and the Indians that took place in the autumn of 1621. Although they did have a three-day feast in celebration of a good harvest, and the local indians did participate, this "first Thanksgiving" was not a holiday, simply a gathering. There is little evidence that this feast of thanks led directly to our modern Thanksgiving Day holiday. Thanksgiving can, however, be traced back to 1863 when Pres. Lincoln became the first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day. The holiday has been a fixture of late November ever since.

However, since most school children are taught that the first Thanksgiving was held in 1621 with the pilgrims and Indians, let us take a closer look at just what took place leading up to that event, and then what happened in the centuries afterward that finally gave us our modern Thanksgiving.

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. Many years passed before the event was repeated. It wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of thanksgiving was proclaimed. On June 20 of that year the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving. It is notable that this thanksgiving celebration probably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to be in recognition of the colonists' recent victory over the "heathen natives," (see the proclamation).

A hundred years later, in October of 1777 all 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration. It also commemorated the patriotic victory over the British at Saratoga. But it was a one-time affair.

George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, although some were opposed to it. There was discord among the colonies, many feeling the hardships of a few pilgrims did not warrant a national holiday. And later, President Thomas Jefferson opposed the idea of having a day of thanksgiving.

It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as Thanksgiving. Hale wrote many editorials championing her cause in her Boston Ladies' Magazine, and later, in Godey's Lady's Book. Finally, after a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln. The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.

عيد الشكر

المهاجرون الاوربيين يحتفلون مع الامريكيين الاصليين اي الهنود الحمر بعيد الشكر

الديك الرومي المحشي

عيد الشكر (بالإنجليزية: Thanksgiving‏) عطلة خاصة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية, يحتفل بها في الخميس الرابع من شهر نوفمبر من كل عام، وفي كندا الحادي عشر من شهر أكتوبر.

يقول البعض ان الاحتفال بعيد الشكر في فصل الخريف يعود إلى احتفالات كان يقوم بها المزارعون بعد موسم الحصاد لكي يشكروا الرب على ما منحمهم من خيرات. وفي عام 1620 وصل بعض الإنكليز إلى مدينة بليموث في ولاية ماساتشوستس، وبعد رحلة طويلة وبسبب قلة خبرة المهاجرين في الزراعة والطقس البارد توفي البعض منهم.

وبعد شهور تدخّل أحد الهنود وكان رئيس قبيلة مسيطرة في المدينة فتقرّب من المهاجرين الإنكليز لانقاذهم من المعاناة والخسائر التي تواجههم، فعلمهم الصيد والزراعة.و للاحتفال باول موسم حصاد اقام الإنكليز احتفالا لثلاثة ايام دعوا الهنود اليه ليشكرونهم على المساعدة و...للصلاة.

و منذ ذلك التاريخ بات الاحتفال بعيد الشكر من التراث الاميركي مناسبة للسفر والاجتماع واللقاء.وفي عام 1941 اقر الكونغرس الاميركي الاحتفال بهذا العيد الخميس الذي ياتي قبل السبت الأخير من شهر نوفمبر من كل عام.

في هذه العطلة أو العيد تجتمع العائلة الأمريكية وتقدم الشكر لله لإنقاذ اسلافهم من المجاعة والهلاك وهم جالسين على مائدة عامرة.

من الطريف أنه يتم طبخ الألاف من الدجاج والديوك الرومية ولا يترك إلا ديك رومي واحد حى يقدم هدية إلى رئيس الجمهورية الأمريكية فيعفو عنه من أن يأكل

كما قررت كندا ان يكون الحادي عشر من نوفمبر هو تاريخ عيد الشكر لدى كندا

How to Chill Wine Quickly

1. How to chill wine in six minutes: Simply place the wine bottle into an ice bucket and fill with ice, water and a handful of salt. The salt is important as it will help break down the ice, which will make the water colder, faster.

2. Keep an empty wine bottle or a decanter in the freezer. When needing a quick chill, transfer the wine that needs chilled into the frozen vessel. The wine will be ready to drink in about ten minutes.

3. Although there are plenty of naysayers who believe that putting a bottle of wine in the freezer will damage its integrity, those who are daring (and in need of quick results) might choose to do so. But don't leave it in any longer than 15 minutes. It will chill even faster if you wrap a wet paper towel or hand towel around it before placing it in the freezer.

4. Purchase an "ice jacket" (a gel-filled sleeve) that you keep in the freezer. Wrap it around the wine bottle for approximately ten minutes. A benefit to using this method is that you won't have to worry about forgetting how long you left it on ice or in the freezer.

5. Wet a hand towel, wrap it around the wine bottle and put it in the refrigerator to chill. This method will take a little longer, but you won't have to worry about damaging its integrity.

** Don’t use hot water to melt grease when running a garbage disposal. After the grease runs down the drain, it will coat the pipe, then cool and start catching bits of food to form a clog. Flush with cold water. This will help cool the garbage disposal motor and solidify grease into clumps that float through the pipe to the sewer.

** Getting rid of garlic breath:

The biggest problem with enjoying garlic, however, is what it does to your breath. If you enjoy garlic but do not appreciate what it does to your breath you may be in a bit of a pickle. Garlic breath is very difficult to prevent, but there are some steps that you can take in order to rid yourself of it.

Garlic is made up of a number of biological elements that actually promote the growth of bacteria that already exists within your mouth. This, along with the natural pungency of garlic, leads to garlic breath. Furthermore, once you have consumed garlic, it can be difficult to smell on yourself. At times, you may have garlic breath without even knowing it.

Once you have eaten garlic, there are a number of things that you can do to mask your garlic breath. Chew on a few sprigs of fresh parsley, for example. Another option is to chew on fresh mint or to drink a large glass of hot mint tea. Also, be sure to give your teeth a good brushing and floss as well. Many people also find that tongue scraping is a good way to reduce garlic breath. You can "scrape" your tongue by simply adding a bit of toothpaste to your brush and working on your tongue from back to front. This will help to remove some of the bacteria and odor build up.

Money Savers:

An old iphone can be worth hundreds. If you have an old iphone that you want to get rid of because you have upgraded to the new iPhone 4 or for any other reason, refurbish and resell your old iPhone. Nextworth.com, Cashforiphones.com, and Gazelle.com are among the most popular to buy and sell the iphones. If your iphone 3GS is in good condition, you can get $200 or more for it.

ONLY IN AMERICA:

A suburban Chicago school district is inserting GPS devices into every student backpacks so nervous parents can track their whereabouts. The device lets schools know every time a child boards or disembarks from a school bus. They can locate a kid and a bus in seconds.

Health-

1. Bacteria thrive in reusable shopping bags. Half of the reusable bags in a recent study had bacterial growth, and 12% contained e coli bacteria, which can cause severe intestinal illness. WASH the bags with soap and water. Do not carry raw foods in reusable bags. Do not leave the empty bags in a warm car- bacterial counts rise significantly in two hours.

2. Overactive thyroid is linked to stroke. A diagnosis of hyperthyroidism before age 45 increases stroke risk by 45%. A possible connection- hyperthyroidism is linked to atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that is associated with elevated stroke risk. To cut stroke risk, follow a low-fat high fiber diet and exercise regularly. Don’t smoke. Have blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels measured at least once a year.

لا تشرب الشاي وأنت تعمل على الحاسب

معلومة مهمة وخطيرة وغير متوقعة للي يستخدمون الحاسب

القصة منقولة من صاحبة الموضوع

قبل مدة عانت احدى الفتيات من ألم شديد في عينيها

لساعات طويلة امام شاشة الكمبيوتر لتصفح وذلك بسبب جلوسها

الانترنت وجمع بعض الصور والمواضيع من اجل بحث التخرج الخاص بها

وبسبب ازدياد الالم ذهبت الى المستشفى وهناك قام بالكشف عليها

احد الاطباء وقال لها

انها تعاني من جفاف في القرنية

بسبب جلوسها لمدة طويلة امام الكمبيوتر

وتعرض عينيها لإشعاعاته القوية

و نصحها بشئ غريب كلنا نسوية بس مو بقصد العلاج ولكن بقصد

الاستمتاع بطعمة

عارفين ايش هو

فنجان الشاي!!!!!!!!!!

الدكتورقال لها خففي من ساعات جلوسك امام الكمبيوتر

واذا جلستي عنده ضعي فنجان من الشاي على طاولة الكمبيوتر ويكون

قريبا من الشاشة

والافضل ان يكون من الجهة التي فيها وحدة النظام او مايسميه البعض

(صندوق الحاسب)

وذلك لأن فنجان الشاي يقوم بإمتصاص نسبة كبيرة من الاشعاعات التي

تنبعث من الحاسب

الفتاة اندهشت وقالت للطبيب انا اضع فنجان الشاي بجانبي دائما عندما استخدم الحاسب ولكنني اشربة !!

فقال لها هذا خطأ لأنك تشربين شاي مشبع بالإشعاعات

والان ما هو الحل لهذه المشكلة بالنسبة لي وجود فنجان الشاي امر

ضروري هذا مااحببت نقله لكم وهذه المعلومة جديدة بالنسبة لي

ولكنني لاحظت شئ بعدما

عرفت ذلك لا حظت ان لون الشاي يصبح غامق اكثر ولكنني قلت ربما

بسبب مضي وقت عليه ولكنني لاحظت تغير طعمة صحيح انني اقوم

بعمل فنجان الشاي واحضرة ولكنني لا اشربة بالكامل لأنني اشعر ان

طعمة تغير وكنت اظن لأنه برد قليلا اما الان

فاصبحت اشك بأن طعمة تغير بسبب الاشعاعات

حفظكم الله من كل سوء

خصلة من شعر نابليون تباع في مزاد مقابل 13 الف دولار

- بيعت خصلة من شعر نابليون بونابرت نزعت من رأسه بعد موته مقابل 13 الف دولار في مزاد في نيوزيلندا. وتم تركيب خطوط هاتفية اضافية خصيصا لعملية البيع لمواكبة التدفق غير المتوقع من مشترين دوليين يسعون لاقتناص خصلة الشعر التي نزعت من رأس الامبراطور الفرنسي السابق بعد يوم واحد من موته في 1821 بينما كان في المنفى في جزيرة سانت هيلينا.

وخصلة الشعر كانت جزءا من مجموعة جلبها الى نيوزيلندا في 1864 دينزل ايبتسون وهو ضابط مؤن وفنان بريطاني. وخدم ايبتسون في سانت هيلينا خلال السنوات الستة التي احتجز فيها نابليون في الجزيرة بعد ان هزم في معركة "ووترلو".

وباع احفاد ايبتسون المجموعة المكونة من نحو 40 قطعة تشمل رسومات بيد ايبتسون لنابليون وهو على فراش الموت وعمره 51 عاما.
وقال هاميش كوني المدير الاداري لدار مزادات "ارت اوبجيكت" لـ "رويترز" "المجموعة كانت في حالة ممتازة حقا والعائلة يجب ان تشكر لحفاظها على هذه المادة طوال هذه المدة (...) لقد مر حوالي 200 عام".

وقالت دار المزادات ان خصلة الشعر اشتراها احد هواة جمع المقتنيات في لندن الذي لم يكشف عن اسمه.

ألمانيا تطلق مشروع ترجمة كتاب مقدس خاص بأقباط العالم

أعلن أستاذ التاريخ المصري القديم بجامعة ماربورغ الألمانية البروفيسور راينر هانيج، عن إطلاق مشروع ترجمة كتاب مقدس خاص بأقباط العالم، الذين قدر البروفيسورعددهم بنحو عشرين مليون قبطي.
ويتولى دير برينكهاوزن بمنطقة هوكستر بولاية شمال الراين فيستفاليا غرب ألمانيا، التنسيق العلمي للمشروع.
وعن هذا المشروع العلمي العملاق الذي يتم إطلاقه بعد أكثر من ألفي عام من ميلاد المسيح، قال البروفيسور هانيج اليوم السبت بمدينة ماربورغ، "سيكون كتابا مقدسا شعبيا، كتابا مقدسا للجميع".
وتوقع أستاذ المصريات الألماني أن يستمر العمل في المشروع لنحو ثماني سنوات يتم خلالها ترجمة الكتاب المقدس بأكمله للغة القبطية.
ويقدر حجم التبرعات المطلوبة لتمويل هذا المشروع العلمي بأكثر من 500 ألف يورو ويشارك فيه العديد من العلماء ورجال الدين.
ويقول هانيج عن المشروع: "المسيحية القبطية مذهب مسيحي له بابا خاص مقره القاهرة".
وأشار هانيج إلى أن جزءا من الكتاب المقدس قد ترجم بالفعل للغة القبطية ولكن للهجات قديمة منها لا تكاد تستخدم اليوم مما يجعل المسيحيين الأقباط يلجأون للطبعة العربية من الكتاب المقدس

أطباء ألمان: إعادة البصر لكفيف بزرع شريحة الكترونية بالعين

علوم و تكنولوجيا /
05 تشرين الثاني , 2010 - 12:30 AM

لندن-سانا

أعلن فريق من أطباء العيون الألمان نجاحهم في تمكين أحد المكفوفين من استعادة قدرته على الإبصار عن طريق زرع شريحة الكترونية داخل عينه.

وذكرت قناة بي بي سي في تقرير لها أمس الأول أن الفنلندي نيكا تاهو الذي أصيب بالعمى وهو في سن المراهقة بسبب مرض وراثينادر استطاع بفضل هذه التقنية الجديدة استعادة نور عينيه والتعرف على بعض الأشياء حيث أخضعه الأطباء بعد زرع الشريحة الالكترونية خلف قرنية إحدى عينيه لعدد من الاختبارات فتمكن ولأول مرة منذ سنوات من التعرف على بعض الأغراض دون الحاجة إلى لمسها والتقاط أدوات المائدة ووضعها في كوب بمنتهى السهولة كما تمكن من قراءة عدد من الكلمات.

وتعد الشريحة التي استخدمها الألمان نموذجا بدائيا إلا أن نجاح التجربة شجع أطباء العيون في بريطانيا على إجراء محاولات ماثلة لمساعدة المرضى على استعادة الرؤية ومنهم 12 شخصا ستجرى لهم جراحات في مستشفى أكسفورد ولندن.

وقد استخدمت نماذج أخرى من شرائح العين الالكترونية لعلاج المرضى قبل عامين حيث زرعت شريحة في عين رجل لتستقبل إشارات تلتقطها كاميرا مثبتة على نظارته تساعده في الرؤية .
