Queefing ... in French

The phenomenon is well known to me but I did not know that it had a name (or many). Like the one who did not know that he was speaking in prose...

In French... La terminologie utilisée pour décrire ce phénomène varie grandement, allant du jargon médical à des termes bien moins châtiés, aussi bien en anglais qu’en français : vents vaginaux (vaginal winds), vaginal air (air vaginal), bruits vaginaux (vaginal noise), noisy vagina (vagin bruyant), pets vaginaux (vaginal fart, queefing, queef), flatulence vaginale (vaginal flatus), colpophony (colpophonie), chattering vulva (littéralement, vulve bavarde), frout (contraction de foufoune et de prout), voire « pet de fouf ». Flatus vaginalis et le garrulitas vulvae (littéralement, bavardage de l’utérus) sont deux termes latins également rencontrés dans la littérature médicale internationale. Autant de termes cités dans l’article de Gérard Amarenco et ses collègues urologues de l’hôpital Tenon (Paris) et celui publié par des médecins belges en 2017 dans l’European Journal of Obstetrics and Reproductive Biology.

This is a learning diary, and although I am old old, keep learning something new every day. The pic show a Paleolithic Venus recently discovered in France.

Krasnaya Armiya honoured

Kever Benjamin City, like her big sis Tel Aviv, has many small hidden gardens and plazas. In front of Majdi's Oriental Restaurant we have a humble monument in white chalkstone to the Red Army (Krasnaya Armiya). The city has many WWII veterans.  

Hungarian Orthodox News: Jesájá Silberstein rabbi csodája -

From my Mother's side, I am from Vac and heard stories about the Rabbi. But this is unheard of. Below, the yeshive of Vac (Weitzen). There are no Jews left in that city.

Exotic Weapons

In his book, Shadows in the Sun, Davis (1998: 20) recounts what is now arguably one of the most popular ethnographic accounts of all time:

“There is a well known account of an old Inuit man who refused to move into a settlement. Over the objections of his family, he made plans to stay on the ice. To stop him, they took away all of his tools. So in the midst of a winter gale, he stepped out of their igloo, defecated, and honed the feces into a frozen blade, which he sharpened with a spray of saliva. With the knife he killed a dog. Using its rib cage as a sled and its hide to harness another dog, he disappeared into the darkness.”

Since publication, this story has been told and re-told in documentaries, books, and across internet websites and message boards (Davis, 2007, Davis, 2010; Gregg et al., 2000; Kokoris, 2012; Taete, 2015). Davis states that the original source of the tale was Olayuk Narqitarvik (Davis, 2003, Davis, 2009). It was allegedly Olayuk's grandfather in the 1950s who refused to go to the settlements and thus fashioned a knife from his own feces to facilitate his escape by skinning and disarticulating a dog.

Tax Payers vs Benefits Receivers

Short  note: I made a calculation of Japan's taxpaying population (working age minus unemployment minus those earning less than the average salary, who are not taxed) in comparison with the retirement and other benefits drawing population. The Japanese State extracts less taxes from the population than pays out as benefits, and the situation is worsening. Japan makes up the difference assuming debts, that probably will never pay back.

Another interesting calculation is if the African population of America is a net tax contributor or it is burden to the State. Apparently they are positive contributors, although very marginal. It is the middle class (including the Jews that pay much of the revenue) that are keeping America in work. The same with Israeli Arabs, they are not much of a burden for the State, mostly because they are young. Contrary to what everybody is thinking, keeping them pacified does not cost much. 

This issue called my attention because I wrote exams for TALDOR (Ministry of Education) and they paid me only half of the published pay scale (50% tax!). And six month late. I'll come back to this thing later.

The Islamic University of Gaza

I have been looking for water engineering information on the internet and found that the Islamic University of Gaza, Faculty of Engineering, has excellent teaching materials. I also like its seal. 

I am learning new and surprising things every day.
