NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING TO MY CLIENTS -- 

Giving opens up the door to receiving. You have so many opportunities to give every day.

Give kind words. Give a smile. Give appreciation and love. Give compliments. You can give courtesy to other motorists while you are driving. You can give a smile to the car parking attendant. You can give a warm greeting to the newspaper stand person or the person who makes your coffee. You can give by allowing a stranger to go ahead of you into an elevator, and you can give by asking which floor they are going to and pressing the button for them. If someone drops something you can give a helping hand and pick it up for them. You can give warm embraces to those you love. And you can give appreciation and encouragement to everyone.

There are so many opportunities for you to give and thereby open the door to receiving. May the joy be with you, Olga-magda

CELE MAI NUTRITIVE MANCARURI:

FasoleaStimuleaza arderea grasimilor. Fasolea fiarta si racita contine amidon rezistent, ceea ce inseamna ca jumatate din caloriile consumate nu pot fi absorbite. Amidonul rezistent din fasole ofera senzatia de satietate pentru mult timp, ajuta la arderea grasimilor, stimuleaza metabolismul bazal cu 20-30% si formeaza in procesul de digestie acidul gras butanoic care ajuta la arderea rapida a grasimilor.

Balonarea si gazele acumulate de   corp sunt totresponsabilitatea acidului butanoic, aspecte pentru care nu ar trebui sa iti faci   griji. Cu cat mai multa fasole mananci, cu atat mai repede corpul tau va ajuta la inmultirea

Escaping Transylvania to the WorldFrom the Romanian Goulag to Old and New Cultures - Memoirs

By Olga Lazin

How the University Really Worked in Romania

In 1963 when I was born in Transylvania, the “golden age” of socialism was in full “progress”.

 Transylvania belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania) as part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.[11] After World War I, in 1918 Transylvania became part of Romania again. In 1940 Northern Transylvania reverted to Hungary as a result of the Second Vienna Award, but it was reclaimed by Romanian queen Maria after the end of World War II.1

All of Romainia was seized for its oil by Nazi Germany (1940-1944), “liberated” by the “Soviet Union” (1944-1947), and “re-liberated” to become the Popular republic of Romania (under USSR remote control) as the Cold War was beginning to freeze the Iron Curtain into to place.

The first “president,” Gheorghiu-Dej ( 1965) ruled as puppet of Moscow, but when he died, his Sec Gen of the Communist Party of Romania, Nicolae Ceausu, was elected as the second “president” (1965-1989), shifting his savage dictatorship into a harsher “nationalistic Goulag” than known in the USSR. At the end of 1994 the russian military organized “presidential” elections of “people’s commeettes” in the region.2 By the end of the war, some formerly Romanian northeastern territories were occupied by the Soviet Union, with Red Army units stationed on Romanian soil. In 1947 Romania forcibly became a People's Republic (1947–1965)

1 More on the diversity of cultures in Transylvania: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Transylvania

2 from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_history_of_Maramure%C5%9F#Antiquity

I finally had the chance to leave the country when Nicolae C. was shot by an execution squad in 1989.Obtaining visas to western countries was extremelly hard in 1990, right after ceausescu was shot. I convinced my then-husband Valerian Pipas to come with me to Bucharest and arrange for visas to France. I also needed transit visas through Austria and Germany.

12

For two decades I neither understoodd the dimensions of tragic situation of Transylvania (located in northeast Romania on the Ukranian border), nor did I understand that I would have to escape the Goulag of Romania by the skin of my teeth.

For peoples of the world Transylvania seems to be a far away place, where most people know the werewolves and vampires have been rumored to roam & lurk in nature. In the imagination of prople everwhere, whose beliefs are soaked in mystical folklore, even today it is hardly possible to have a rational conversation on any subject matter. Most occupying forces never understood either the culture of the Romanian people or the distinct culture of Trasnylvania.Naturally I am a bi-national citizenship, but without belonging to any of the two countries. Summoning my unconsciousness to write this autobiographical piece, I need to reaccustom myself to thinking of the distinct cultures of the region.

The population consisted of Romanians, Hungarians (particularly Székelys) and Germans.These languages are still being spoken on the territory of Maramures county, including Rroma, or the Gypsy language. I always liked and loved the Romanian language, so I decided to become a Professor of Romanian Language and Literature.

I was admitted to the University in Cluj,in the heart of Transylvania. The professors, started reading the mounds of new Decrees every day, which made me laugh, and staff of the university was suspicios of me not believing their “expose” in the class rooms. Professors were trying to befuddle us with words from a wooden language, totally bent toward twisting our brains into confused submission. Professors, securitate officers acting as sweaty bureaucrats, uneducated idiots trying to tell us what to think. Not one professor asked us, “What do you really think, all of you?” Each professor had their favorite students and made sure they pointed it out in class, stifling any competition, and showed openly their favoritism or nepotism. When I reached 22 years, I started beingargumentative, and started criticizing professors, esp the history professor. I was getting so sick at academics yelling at us, and being forced to do the military service as a woman in the academia. After all, americans were coming to take away our socialist country.

We couldn t buy books in English, and I was an English major.We couldn’t talk to foreigners, and the athmosphere was dreadful in classes.

Speech was not free; one couldn’t argue in class, or make any real analysis or debate. You had to regurgitate what they were telling you, and read whatever was there in the old books stacked in the communist library.

Nobody underwent this.

13

Finally I decided to leave in 1986, and traveled to the border, as well as paid a smuggler to take me to Yougoslavia. My mother was so confused by the propaganda, that she started crying when I was freed from prison, feeling very emotional after the death of the nation’s father, ceausescu.

I was ready to give up my freedom, just to escape an impossible country, with impossible leadership.

In 1989, ceausescu finally pardoned everybody who tried to escape the horrendous conditions in the country.

The first act of freedom I have performed it was to secure a passport for myself. And got married to Valerian. Otherwise the consulate would not have given me the visas.

In Kobenzl,Austria, I visited the cemetery where Mozart was buried, and it was very uplifting seeing all the bridges and magnificent churches surrounding me from all directions.3
