2、hat I am not a mother. I do not hear a biological clock ticking, only the nerve wrecking ticks of bombs yet to explode. My friends are leaping whenever their cell phones ring. Where are you? No, you cant go out. No, I dont care if all the other children are going. How nave children are when they tel
3、l lies. What mother in Israel now would believe that all the children are going anywhere? And where are the children going? Where will their fears take them? In many places in the world children are afraid of the unknown, of the unreal. You know that you live in a war zone when you realize that the
4、greatest fears of the children are of what they know only too well. Two years ago, when my younger brother was ten, he came home from school, and as he opened the door he heard the familiar sound of explosion rising from the street he just left behind him. Sitting in front of the television five min
5、utes later, he could see his friend wandering blindly in the street, which was covered with body parts and injured people. The friends father, who picked him up from school and took him for a pizza, was killed in front of his eyes. My brother refused to talk about it. This kid wasnt really a friend
6、of mine, is all he would say, I dont really know him that well. That evening he told my father that he is afraid of Freddy Kruger, a monstrous murderer from a common horror film. My father didnt know whether to laugh or cry, but I suspect he felt some relief. How good it is to caress your childs hai
7、r and to tell him that Kruger doesnt really exist. But the man who exploded himself in the centre of a busy street did exist. And the man who will explode himself in another one of our busy streets in a few years is now my brothers age. His mother doesnt have to worry about the dangers which lurk on
8、 the way to school. There are no schools anymore. We have demolished them all, when we crushed the infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority. His younger brother was killed when our soldiers exploded their home. Our soldiers exploded their home because his older brother was a wanted person. Explod
9、ing his familys home was our way to insure that he will soon turn from a wanted person into an unwanted body, torn to a thousand pieces, surrounded by his victims. The young terrorist to be sleeps now in a tent provided by UNRWA. What is he afraid of? Not much to fear anymore. The worst already took

His mother tells him how they were deported from their home in Latrun in 1967. His grandmother tells him it was nothing compared to what she had to go through when she was driven aw
11、ay from Jaffa in 1948, carrying his screaming mother, then a newborn, in her arms. My grandmother doesnt understand her plight. It had never occurred to her to go back to her home in Poland, which she had to flee as a refugee, haunted by the rise of Nazism in Europe. The fact that the Palestinians s
12、till talk about Jaffa, she says, just proves that they want to exterminate us. Whenever a suicide bombing strikes our cities, my grandmother calls me and tells me of her secret plan. I am an old woman, and I have nothing to loose, she says in a conspiratorial tone. I will wear rags like their women,
13、 and go and explode myself in the centre of Nablus. This will teach them a lesson. I will show them what its like. I am trying to tell her that they already know what it is like, that the number of their dead is three times bigger than ours, that the fear and terror we spread in their lives is much
14、bigger than ours. But my grandmother doesnt hear me, because she is crying. They are not human beings, she says. What people can do such things, kill children like this? De-humanised people, I want to answer, but I keep my mouth shut, and think about the child that I dont want to have. The child I w
15、ont have will never feel the guilt of being an occupier, or the fear of becoming a victim. I will never tell him not to be scared, when fear is the only rational thing to feel. I will not have to teach him that the Palestinian child is a human being just like him, while everybody else will tell him
16、that it is not so. The child I wont have will keep sleeping, curled in a secret corner of my mind. The child I will never have is going to be the only safe child in the Middle East. * A news editor and journalist, Daphna Baram was born in Jerusalem and served in the Israeli army as a teacher for two

The problem: Most people have unrealistic expectations, They decide this is the year theyre going to completely change eve
18、rything about their diet, she tells WebMD. Thats just too hard to do. Willpower isnt the issue, says Sass. Willpower is about depriving yourself, and nobody gets excited about that. Besides, depriving yourself is depressing and leads to bingeing. Focus on the positives - you feel better, have more e

When making dietary changes, start small, says Cynthia Sass, a nutritionist with the University of South Florida in Tampa and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Set a few realistic goals. In the long run, youll have better self-esteem and more self-conf

Skipping breakfast gives you the munchies later on and slows your metabolism down. She advises starting the d
21、ay with yogurt and fruit or whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk. Dont skip any meals or snacks, says Sass. Try not to let more than five hours go by without eating. Waiting too long can zap energy, and can lead to overeating later. Eat a (healthy) snack between lunch and dinner, maybe right before
22、leaving work, so you will be less likely to grab snack foods once you get home. Include a total of 30 minutes of activity every day. It doesnt have to be all at once, Reichenberger tells WebMD. If it takes 10 minutes to walk from the bus stop, get off at the next furthest stop so you get a few more
23、minutes walking. And walk it briskly - you can lose some weight, improve your cardiovascular system, and sleep better. Drink fewer sodas and other sweetened drinks, like iced tea. A big bottle of a juice-based drink can contain 300 calories - and those calories add up. Drink water instead. Or mix ju
24、ice and water, so youre not drinking something so heavily loaded with sugar. Aim to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Buy pre-cut fruits and vegetables, so you can grab them when youre hungry. Keep frozen veggies in the fridge. They are easy, quick, and rich in nutrients. Take th

Bring snacks to work - such as pretzels, fruit, and yogurt - so you wont find yourself at the vending machine every afternoon. When fixing a salad, s
26、prinkle rolled oats or crunchy whole-grain cereal for added fiber, so youll feel full. Fix pasta dishes with veggies and lean protein (like canned tiny shrimp, tuna canned in water, precooked chicken breast, or soy crumbles). Adding protein and veggies to pasta allows you to cut back on the amount o
27、f pasta (which is high in carbohydrates) while still feeling full. Also, hand-select a variety of fruits instead of buying one large bag of the same fruit. After the third or fourth day of apples, youll likely be sick of them, says Sass. Mixing up a few different types of apples, one pear, one banan

My older brother Gary performed the ceremonies in o
29、ur basement. Gary was good at entertaining the family and neighborhood kids with his creative ideas. Since I was the youngest boy in our group, I was often on the receiving end of his creativity. What I remember most about those weddings is that all the girls were at least five years older than I wa
30、s, and they all had beautiful eyes that sparkled when they laughed. Those weddings taught me to imagine what it would be like to find my soul mate one day and to be sure that I would know her by her beautiful eyes. Puberty hit me late. I was still afraid of the opposite sex when I was fifteen, and y
31、et I prayed every night for the girl I would marry. I asked God to help her do well in school and to be happy and full of energy-wherever and whoever she was. I first kissed a girl when I was twenty-one. From that time forward, I dated many beautiful and talented young ladies, searching for the girl
32、 I had prayed for in my youth and still certain that I would know her by her eyes. One day, my phone rang. Don, it was my mother. You know I told you about the Addisons, who moved in next door to us. Well, Clara Addison keeps asking me to invite you over for cards some night. Sorry, Mom, Ive got a date that night. How could you? I havent even told you what night it is? my mother responded with exasperation. It doesnt matter when. Im sure the Addisons are nice people, but Im not going to waste an evening socializing with people who dont have any el
