WHY ARE THE JEWS SO SMART?

Since I spent about 3 years in Israel for internship in a few hospitals there, it came to my mind about doing research of "Why the Jews are Intelligent?" 

It goes without denial that Jews are ahead in many aspects of life such as engineering, music, science and most obvious in business where nearly 70% of world trade is held by the Jews such as cosmetic, fashion, food, arms, hotels and film industries (Hollywood and others).
 
During the 2nd year, in December 1980, and I was about to go back to California, this idea came to me and I was wondering why God gave this ability to them? Is this a coincidence or is it man-made that could be produced like the goods from a factory. My thesis took about 8 years to gather all the information as accurately as possible, like the food intake, culture, religion, initial preparation of pregnancy, etc and I would compare them with other races.
 
Let’s start with initial preparation of pregnancy. In Israel, the first thing I noticed is that the pregnant mother would always sing and play piano and would always try to solve mathematical problems together with the husband, and I was very surprised to see the mother always carry math books and sometimes I would help her to solve some problems, I would ask, "Is this for your child in the womb?" She would answer, "Yes, to train the child still in the womb so that it would be a genius later on". She would solve the problem without let-up until the child is born.

Another thing I noticed, is about the food, she loved to eat almonds and dates with milk, for lunch she would take bread and fish without the head, salads mixed with almonds and other nuts, they believed fish is good for the development of brain and the fish’s head is bad for the brain. And also it is like the culture of the Jews for pregnant mothers to take cod liver oil.
 
When I was invited for dinner, I noticed that they always like to eat fish (flesh and fillet) and no meat, according to their belief, meat and fish together will not give any benefit to our body. Salad and nuts is a must, especially almonds.

They would always eat fruits first before the main meal. Their belief if you eat the main meal first (like bread or rice) before the fruits, this will make us feel sleepy and difficult to understand any lesson you learn in school.

In Israel, smoking is a taboo. If you are their guest, don’t smoke in their house, they would politely ask you to go out for a smoke. According to scientists in University of Israel, nicotine would destroy the main cell in our brain and will affect the genes and DNA, resulting in generation of moron or defective brain. So all those smokers, please take note (Ironically, the biggest producer of cigarettes is… you know who?    make your own  guess).

The food intake for the child is always under the guidance of the parent, first, the fruits with almonds, followed by cod liver oil. In my assessment, the Jewish children, most of them knew 3 languages, ie Hebrew, Arabic and English. Since childhood they would be trained in playing piano and violin, it is a must. 

Accordingly, it is believed that this practice will increase the IQ of the child and will make him a genius. And according to Jewish scientists, the vibration of music would stimulate the brain and that is why there are lots of  geniuses among the Jews…

Since grade 1 to 6, they would be taught business mathematics and science subjects would be their first preference. For comparison I could see the children in California, their IQ is about 6 years back. And Jewish children were also involved in athletics such as archery and shooting, accordingly it is believed that archery and shooting would make the brain more focused on decision and precision.

In high school, students are more inclined to study science, they would create products, indulge in all sorts of projects, although some look very funny or useless, but all attention is given seriously especially if it is armaments, medicine or engineering, the idea will be introduced in higher institute in polytechnics or universities.

Business faculty will be given more preference, in the last year of university, the students in business would be given a project and practically they can only pass if their group (about 10 in a group) can make profit of USD1 million. 

Don’t be surprised, this is the reality and that is why half of the business in the world is held by the Jews, who design the latest Levis, it is being designed in the Israel university by the faculty of business and fashion.
 
Have you seen them how they prayed, they always shake their heads, accordingly they believed this action will stimulate and provide more oxygen to the brain.
 
Look at the Japanese, they always bow down their heads as their culture, lots of them are smart, they love sushi (fresh fish), is this a coincidence?
 
In New York, the commercial/trading centre for the Jews are based in New York, catering for the Jews only, if they had any beneficial idea, their committee will give free interest loan and will make sure the business prospers. Due to this Starbucks, Dell Computers, Coca Cola, DKNY, Oracle, Levi's, Dunkin' Donuts, Hollywood films and hundreds other businesses were under their sponsorship. 

Jewish graduates from faculty of medicine in New York were encouraged to register with them and allowed to practice privately with this free interest loan, now I knew why most hospitals in New York and California always lack of specialist doctors.

Smoking will lead to generations of moron. During my visit to Singapore in 2005, it surprised me to see smokers are regarded as outcasts and the price of a pack of cigarettes is about USD 7, like in Israel it is a taboo and their form of government is similar to the Israelis. And that is the reason why most of their universities are of high standard, even though Singapore is only as big as Manhattan.
 
Look at Indonesia, everywhere people are smoking, and price of a pack of cigarette is very cheap only USD 0.70 cents. and the results with millions of people, you can count the number of universities, what technology or product they produced that they can be proud of,…never!; can they speak other than their own language, why it is so difficult for them to master English language for example, all this is due to smoking, think for yourself.
 
In my thesis, I do not touch religion or race. The bottom line is, could we produce intelligent generations just like the Jews? 

The answer could be in the affirmative. The changes needed are in our daily habits of eating, parenting and I guess within 3 generations, it could be achieved. This I could observe in my grandson, for example at the age of 9 he could write a 5-page essay on "Why I love tomato?"

May all of us be in peace and succeeded in producing  future generations of genius for the betterment of humankind no matter who you are.

Witnessing Venus Transit 2012

transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun. The duration of such transits is usually measured in hours (the transit of 2004 lasted six hours). A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon. While the diameter of Venus is more than 3 times that of the Moon, Venus appears smaller, and travels more slowly across the face of the Sun, because it is much farther away from Earth.

Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena.[1] They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years. The periodicity is a reflection of the fact that the orbital periods of Earth and Venus are close to 8:13 and 243:395 commensurabilities.[2][3]

The last transit of Venus was on 5 and 6 June 2012, and was the last Venus transit this century; the prior transit took place on 8 June 2004. The previous pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. After 2012, the next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125

Transit of Venus begins those who have access to sun can witness it

transit of Venus

What is the transit of Venus?

A rare astronomical event that happens when Venus travels across the face of the sun and appears as a small black dot on its surface.

When does it happen?

Transits occur in pairs eight years apart. There are two in December that repeat every 121.5 years, and two in June that repeat every 105.5 years.

The last transit of Venus of the 21st century occurs on Tuesday and Wednesday (5 and 6 June 2012) depending on where you are viewing from. The transit starts at 11.04pm BST (6.04pm EDT) on Tuesday, when it will be visible from the US. The final hour of the transit will be visible from the UK just before 5am BST on Wednesday, clear skies permitting. The transit will not happen again until December 2117.

How long does the transit last?

Venus takes nearly seven hours to cross the face of the sun, but the event is divided into four "contacts" that mark different phases of the transit. Venus makes first contact when it encroaches onto the disc of the sun. Twenty minutes later, on second contact, the planet will be fully silhouetted. On third contact, at 5.37am BST, Venus will begin to leave the sun, and the transit will be over on fourth contact at 5.55am BST.

Where can I see it?

The whole transit is visible from Alaska, parts of northern Canada, and from New Zealand, much of Australia, Asia and Russia. In the US, the transit will be in progress as the sun sets on 5 June. In East Africa, Europe and Scandinavia, the transit will be under way as the sun rises on 6 June. Much of South America and western Africa will not see the event.

How can I watch it safely?

Never look directly at the sun, it will damage your eyes. You can use eclipse viewing glasses that carry a CE mark and are not damaged or worn, but only for a few minutes at a time. Venus is large enough to see with the naked eye and will appear as a spot about 1/32 the width of the sun. It is not safe to look at the sun through regular sunglasses. For a better view, use a small telescope or a pair of binoculars to project an image of the sun onto a screen. Never look at the sun directly through either binoculars or a telescope.

Can I watch online?

Nasa will broadcast a live webcast of the transit from the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii.

What will it look like?

Venus will cross the northern part of the sun and appear as a black spot about 1/32 as wide as the solar disc. At the start and end of the transit, the black disc of the planet will seem to stretch onto the edge of the sun. This is the black drop effect, which made it so hard for 18th century astronomers to time accurately the transit. It is caused by the telescope blurring the image, and the drop in the sun's brightness close to its edge.

What have scientists used the transit for?

In the 18th century astronomers set out to far-flung corners of the globe to time the transit of Venus. Combined, their results gave them the first accurate measurement of the distance between the Earth and the sun, a figure they calculated to be between 93 million and 97 million miles (172-180 million kilometres). Today, the accepted distance is 93 million miles. The result allowed astronomers to calculate the size of the solar system.

What do scientists hope to learn this time?

More precise measurements of the transit, particularly from telescopes in space, will hone astronomers' skills for spotting planets beyond our own solar system as they pass in front of their own stars. David Ehrenreich, an astronomer in Grenoble, France, has been granted time on the Hubble space telescope to watch the transit of Venus as if viewed from the moon. To do this, he will use Hubble to watch for the exquisitely fine fall in the brightness of sunlight reflected off the moon as Venus passes in front of the sun.

Why is Venus called Earth's sister planet?

Venus has always been considered a sister planet to Earth. At 12,000km across, the planet is nearly as large and has 80% of Earth's mass. Earth is the third rock from the sun, and Venus is the second, orbiting around 40 million kilometres (25 million miles) from our planet. Venus circles the sun faster than Earth, clocking up a year in 224.7 Earth days. But the rotation of the planet is so slow, a day on Venus lasts 342 Earth days – longer than a Venutian year.
