The Buenos Aires Toy Museum

The Buenos Aires Toy Museum is a virtual museum of games and Argentine toys as well as a permanent exhibition, that’s always offering its visitors new features on the antique toy world. We daily work to contribute to the conservation of the historical and cultural patrimony of our country.
At the moment we –Argentinean toy lovers- face a terrible problem, the lack of governmental interest in toys’ –both items and their history- conservation. Hence the importance of this project to preserve part of our past. At a time where traditional toys have lost their value in
relation to the electronic games, we think that it is of great relevance to highlight the historical and present interest of these products as an inextricable part for the developing of children’s learning and interactive skills as well as to understand many of these toys as,concrete expressions of our culture.
At the BA Toy Museum you’ll find all kinds of antiques and vintage toys; items of all forms and colors made out of tin, metal, plastic or other materials with which dolls, robots, accessories, vehicles and figurines had been made throughout history.
All of these are bits of culture that have touched each and every one of us in many different ways. Our museum offers the visitor rich information on all toys and games throughout history, because the intention of the museum is not that the visitor merely observes the items but that he learns about them too.
This museum is an ideal place for collectors searching for information and vintage toys. At the Buenos Aires Toy Museum you can find and acquire those hard to find items made in Argentina.
We would like to clarify that we do not sell all our exhibited items; we only sell those items of which the amount stored in our museum exceeds the three units. Considering the lack of official or deprived support, we are ourselves forced to commercialization as a way of financing the bigger project.
In order for the Buenos Aires Toy Museum to keep on developing research projects and permanent exhibitions on vintage toys and games, financial aid of all of those who are interested in this project is not only well accepted but necessary. If you want to participate in the construction of this museum you can send us “journalistic donations”-
articles on vintage toys, collaborations (interviews, articles and others) or historical input data. Thus we will manage to increase our permanent exhibition to the service of all vintage toy lovers.

Does The Media Cause Eating Disorders?

We've all heard of eating disorders. They've gained more recognition now that celebrities like Paula Abdul have confessed to dealing with them. An eating disorder is basically a compulsion to eat or avoid eating, which in either case damages an individual's mental and physical health. Such a behavior affects a person's life deeply. It affects how they view their personal life, their professional life, self image and social outlook. Eating disorders occur with both men and women, but it's more common in the earlier years of life and occurs in women twice as much as it occurs in men. The common forms are Anorexia and bulimia. For individuals with eating disorders, their sense of well being is determined by what they eat or what they don't eat.
For many, especially young girls, eating disorders are the result of conforming to peer pressure or a widely accepted appearance. And this is where media plays its not so healthy part. The print and electronic media are overflowing with images of celebrities and models who are unbelievably thin and promote the concept of 'health'. The fact is that such models usually suffer from eating disorders themselves. Then there are the Barbie dolls that had girls thinking that that was the ideal figure to have, while doctors and health experts shake their heads in disbelief, trying to put the message out there that Barbie's so-called perfect form is actually totally out of proportion. So the media isn't free from blame on this one. Even top models admit that media pressure and the hype that associates beauty with thinness has forced them into having eating disorders.
So is the media the sole culprit? Not likely, not if you really look into it. The media sells what the people want to see. And from our early years we are taught that our success in life lies on our looks. Children are praised for being 'cute' and programming designed for them has the very thin and buff good guys and fat ugly bad guys. To their defense, producers of such programs say that it's unwise to put in the minds of children that being fat and obese is something they should choose in their life. Especially considering that today's child has moved from the traditional outdoor games to the computer based ones. But then the absolute definition of beauty in 'thin terms' is what has lead many a person to hate their body. The media plays an undeniable role in determining the accepted image of success and this is why it becomes so crucial for parents to explain to their children that what they see on TV is not the healthiest form of human life, instead those are fake images.
Every body has its own level of optimum health, something the now slowly growing group of plus size models are trying to chalk out. But still, as long as there will be movies with ridiculously thin actresses and ridiculously buff male leads, the teenagers of today will be at high risks for eating disorders and other psychological troubles. The media is responsible for what it promotes and it should be responsible about what it chooses to portray as healthy.

Shaul Tchernichovsky - Creed

Biography of Shaul Tchernichovsky

Shaul Tchernichovsky Shaul Tchernichovsky was born in Mikhailovka, Russia, in 1875. He grew up in a religious home and attended a modern Hebrew school, before joining a Russian school at the age of ten. When he was fourteen he went to Odessa to continue his education. He specialised in the study of languages (German, French, English, Greek and Latin) - a skill that would later enable him to translate extensively. He failed to gain admission to a Russian university and so went to Heidelberg to study medicine. On completion of his degree he settled in St. Petersburg.

During the First World War, he served as an army doctor. Following
the Bolshevik Revolution Tchernichovsky's economic situation deteriorated and he spent the next years travelling and looking for work. He first returned to Odessa and then moved on to Constantinople before finally settling in Berlin.

Whilst in Berlin, he found work as a writer. Prior to this he'd had a collection of poems published back in his student days in 1892. In Berlin he edited the natural sciences and medicine section of an encyclopaedia, the literary section of a magazine, wrote stories and articles, and mainly devoted himself to translation (Sophocles, Goethe, Moliere, Shakespeare, and others).

In 1931 he was commissioned to edit The Book of Medical and Scientific Terms (in Latin, Hebrew and English), and thus was able to settle in Eretz, Israel. Upon completion of the work in he was appointed physician of the municipal schools in Tel Aviv. In 1936 he signed a contract with Schocken Publishing House, and moved to Jerusalem for the remainder of his life.

He died in 1943.


Creed

Laugh, laugh at all my dreams!
What I dream shall yet come true!
Laugh at my belief in man,
At my belief in you.

Freedom still my soul demands,
Unbartered for a calf of gold.
For still I do believe in man,
And in his spirit, strong and bold.

And in the future I still believe
Though it be distant, come it will
When nations shall each other bless,
And peace at last the earth shall fill.

Shaul Tchernichovsky

Act Naturally
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta say is act naturally

Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star

Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally

We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And beggin down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal
All I gotta do is act naturally

Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well

Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Cinderella

"Cinderella’s parents died and left her alone with her stepmother, who had two vicious daughters. They made Cinderella clean and cook all day long. One day the prince invited all the girls in the kingdom for a ball in the castle. Cinderella wanted to go too but she couldn’t, she didn’t have a dress. She was so disappointed, she started to cry. Then her fairy godmother appeared and with magic she turned a pumpkim and turned into a carriage and 6 mice into horses. And she turned
Cinderella’s rags into a beautiful dress, but she said, “Come back before midnight”. At the stroke of midnight Cinderella ran back home, and she lost her slipper on the castles’ steps. The prince looked for her, and said that anyone whose foot fit the glass slipper would be his bride. To everyone’s surprise Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly in the slipper, and soon the prince and Cinderella were married.”

The Unlucky Lover

Antonio Marchesi, 24, from Catania in Sicily, is probably the world's unluckiest love, as weIl as one of the most persistent. Antonio's troubles began last September when Giulietta Guarneri, 19, moved jnto the house ópposite with her family, and Antonio feIl in love with her at first sight.
At first Antonio tried traditiona1 methods. When he spoke to Giulietta in the street and she ignored him, he sent her flowers. He called at her house but her parents did not let him in. After that, he wrote several letters and poems and dropped them in her letter-box, but Giu1ietta tore them up without opening them.
Since shé was resistant to poetry, Antonio decided to test the power of music. He bought a guitar and practised for two or three weeks before serenading her outside her bedroom window one night last Decemher. Giu1ietta's mother threw a bucket of water over him, and her father threatened to call the police.
Antonio did not give up easily. He was sure that Giulietta wou1d change her mind eventually, so he bought a ring and waited outside her house one morning last week until she carne out to go to work. Then he went down on his knees in front of her and said he wou1d not get up until she agreed to marry him. Giulietta went off to work, saying: 'Don't be silly!'
Then Antonio finaIly 10st hope, and decided to kill himself. Ris :fir!rt idea was to throw himself in front of a train, but he feIl between the rails and the train passed safely over him. Doctors at the nearest
hospital gave him first aid for cuts but as soon as he carne out, he tried again. This time he jumped in front of a bus, but the driver braked quickly, and he only suffered some more cuts and bruises.
When he went back to the same hospital half an hour later, the doctors asked a priest to talk to him, and before he 1eft, he promised the 30 priest that he would not attempt to commit suicide again.
Unfortunately, on his way out, he slipped on the steps and broke his lego He is now back in the hospital, recovering from his injuries.
Giulietta, interviewed by local journalists yesterday, said: '1 hopehe will get better soon, but I'm not going to marry him. Re's too unpredictable.'

Napoleon in Cairo

I will always remember the summer when I arrived in Cairo. For the first three months 1 was there, I lived in a cheap pension. It was on the seventh floor of an apartment building, and people called it 'Swiss Cottage' because it belonged to two Swiss sisters. There were only five other guests in the pension while I was there, and two servants. But there were a lot of cats. In fact, there were more cats than people.
One day during my first week there, one of the cats, called Napoleon, had an accident. There was a beautiful cat in the apartment next door, and Napoleon was in love with her. So he walked along the edge of the balcony, seven floors up, to introduce himself. But she did not welcome him. Instead, they had a short fight, and a few seconds later he was down in the busy street below.
Did he fall or did she push him? Nobody knew. But by some miracle, he did not die. He had a broken leg but he managed to reach the front door of the block and a neighbour saw him in the entrance. She brought him to us and everyone helped to nurse him back to health.
Napoleon soon got better, but he was still in love with the cat next door. I imagine she felt sorry for him and invited him to visit her again because about two months later she had kittens that looked just like him. But that was not the end of Napoleon's story for me.

marriage

Going through life with a spouse to whom love is one of the greatest satisfactions. A small
percentage of us has a natural gift for it, the rest, we must learn it. How is this done? How to keep a marriage alive and well for thirty, forty, fifty years? It occurred to me that the best way to find out is to ask who did it.
When interviewed several couples that had lasting and loving, I found that all had one
common denominator: love and unconditional acceptance of life's companion, as he or she is.
One of the older gentleman with whom I spoke put it this way: "I tell my wife: there is nothing in
the world you can do to stop love, so you do not even bother trying, you will lose the time.

If you're angry with each other, "said the husband also, apologize and fix things quickly.
Anyway, as we shall live together for the rest of our lives, why not make the trip pleasant? "
That's another skill that these couples seem to have acquired the ability to quickly address disputes and complaints arising between them. Most of us tend to hide under the carpet the

small problems, hoping that if we do not face and solve, they will disappear automatically. In

most cases it is not. Imagine you are traveling down a path, and arrives at a bifurcation.
If you take the wrong path, it can end for many miles from where I wanted to go. In the same way, the complex problems of family relationships often can be traced to a minor misunderstanding. The sooner we realize our mistake, the easier it is to fix it.Another elderly couple told me: "We expect that our relations are sour and then find a solution. Instead, we are proactive, we read books and attended workshops and conferences on improving relations, and we constantly things we can tell each other for the other to feel loved. "
The rule says: "If it is not broke, do not fix it" does not apply to relationships. Learning to constantly improve and strengthen our relationship skills, performing small acts of goodness and kindness toward our spouse, we can consistently improve our relationship. A relationship that is not improving on a regular basis, is retreating.
When the council gave to a partner during a query, the husband phoned me the next day,
asking: "How do small acts of goodness and kindness to my wife when I'm angry with her."
To which I replied: "The fact that you do not feel eager to do so is in itself a proof of how necessary it is to your relationship that you immediately begin to perform acts of love and kindness towards his wife. The more you do, the win will come from it. "
Try it, it works!

The House At The Top Of The Tree

There’s a house at the top of a tree
There’s a house at the top of a tree
In the house there’s a room
In the room there’s a chair
And sitting in the chair is you
There’s a nose at the end of a snout
Of a dog with his head out the window
Of a car that’s driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there’s a house
And in the house there’s a room and in the room
There’s a chair and in the chair is you
There’s a plan to eat the house
In the mind of a mouse in the woods
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that’s detected
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
And the car is driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there’s a house
And in the house there’s a room and in the room
There’s a chair and in the chair is you
There are no more potato chips left
In the empty bag in your hand
And the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Makes the mice get mad
And when the mice get mad
It leads to a plan to eat the house
And the plan’s in the mind of the mouse in the woods
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that’s detected
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
And the car is driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there’s a house
And in the house there’s a room and in the room
There’s a chair and in the chair is you
And the reason there are no more chips
In the empty bag in your hand
Is that the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Makes the mice get mad
Which leads to a plan
To eat the house
But just in time
The dog arrives
To give to the mouse
The potato chips
That you took from the bag
And gave to the dog
To deliver to the mouse
So the mouse would not eat you

Our mental abilities begin to deteriorate to 27 years, the age that marks the onset of old age, says research in the United States. Scientists at the University of Virginia found that the height of our mental power occurs at 22 years and five years after the decline began. This includes the reduction of reasoning, spatial visualization and the speed of thought. According to research published in Neurobiology of Aging, the results show that therapies to halt or reverse the aging process should begin much earlier. “These results show that some aspects of cognitive impairment related to age began, and educated in healthy adults, when they are in their 20s and 30s,” says Professor Timothy Salthouse, who led the study. Professor Salthouse conducted its investigation over 7 years with 2,000 healthy adults between 18 and 60 years. To discuss their mental agility, participants had to solve problems and puzzles, remembering words and details of stories and identify patterns in words and symbols. These are the same tests used by doctors today to identify signs of dementia. As the scientist in nine of the 12 tests, the average age at which the best performance was achieved for 22 years. And the first time I began to detect a marked deterioration in the capabilities of 27 years was evidence of mental alertness, reasoning ability and resolution of visual puzzles. The researchers also discovered that other factors such as memory, remain intact until 37 years on average. At this age, the accumulated knowledge-based capabilities such as performance on tests of vocabulary or general information, increase until the individual turns 60. As experts point out, this study shows that the natural deterioration of some of our mental abilities begins much earlier than thought. And that could provide new information for the study of neurodegenerative diseases. “If we understand more about how a healthy brain is impaired can understand what happens in diseases like Alzheimer’s,” said Rebecca Wood, of the Alzheimer’s Research Fund. “Alzheimer’s disease is a natural consequence of aging, is a physical illness that kills nerve cells and also affects tens of thousands of people under 65 years.” “So we urgently need more research to be able to offer some hope to the millions of people living with this disease,” said the expert. Alzheimer’s disease remains incurable, and it is estimated that between 2 and 5 % of people over 65 years and 20 % of those over 85 suffer from the disease.
