                <text>Another year is going to be added to the age of this old world and another page to its book. Iranians, away from the homeland, are mostly thinking about their country at different occasions, they think more at the beginning of the spring and Noruz, because Noruz will bring them many sweet and sad memories. They think of the blue sky and warmth of the spring sun, blooming trees, beautiful flowers with their pleasant fragrant, high mountains covered with the snow on the peaks, and most important, gatherings of all members of the family around the table or spread of the Haft Seen. The gathering in which the charming grandma, wearing her new dress and her white scarf, would sit at the head of the table or spread, waiting for the turn of the year and arrival of Noruz. Noruz comes at the precise moment of the start of spring and brings along amazing stories.Noruz is the story of house cleaning, what you call, spring cleaning. Cleaning not only the wooden or brick houses, but the house within, the heart! Cleaning your heart from all the grudges, hatred, and envies. Spring cleaning with hope of cleaning the hearts. My heart, your hearts, and hearts of people of the world. Noruz is the story of sitting at the table or spread together… The story of being together and enjoying life… Share the good things that one finds on his table or spread… My spread, your table, the table of this land, the spread of that land, the spread of the world.Noruz is the story of jumping the fire… The fire of anger, the fire of lust, the fire of revenge, and dampening these fires and jumping over them, without anyone’s feet burn. This really needs effort, goodwill and sacrifice.Noruz is the story of interchanging visits, calling on friends and family, the time for hugs and kisses. It is the story of cultivating and irrigating the plant of love and friendship. To let love in our hearts… My heart, your heart, neighbor’s heart, the heart of the citizens of the world.Noruz is the story of cooking Samanu! A thick brownish paste, a nutritious meal made from wheat. God knows, it is not easy to cook a genuine, delicious Samanu! Gathering the necessary ingredient, cleaning and mixing them in the pot and stay on watch and stir it the whole night! The whole family members will help in this cooking process. Let’s wish that members of a community, town, continent and world cooperate, sympathize and collaborate in cooking the Samanu peace for our world.Yes! Spring will be here soon, Noruz is the beginning of the spring and a whole lot more.The Persia Horse of Michigan wishes you all, a happy and prosperous Noruz. Our New Year resolution is “Circles of Love, Peace, and Cooperation”. Mahmood Moallemian</text>

                <text>در روز یکشنبه 8 دسامبر، دکتر علی اکبرمهدی بدعوت خانه ایران در مورد زنان ایرانیدر آمریکا و تجربه آنها در مهاجرت سخنرانیکرد. وی با استفاده از داده های سه پژوهشخود در مورد زنان ایرانی در آمریکا اشارهداشت که دو مفهوم هویت و فرهنگ نقشبسزایی در دگرگونی مهاجران ایرانی، بویژهزنان، داشته است. از آنجا که ایرانیان ساکنآمریکا از قومیت ها، طبقات، ومذاهب مختلفجامعه ایران آمده اند و صاحب دید گاه هایمتفاوت سیاسی و فرهنگی می باشند؛ بسختی میتوانند ویژگی های همگون و یکدست فرهنگیداشته باشند. این گوناگونی هم اینک تاثیر خودرا در تجمع ایرانیان و مطبوعات و رسانه هایگروهی آنها نمایان می دارند. در مورد مفهومهویت، وی اشاره داشت که تصور ایرانیان ازهویت ایرانی بیشتر جنبه تخیلی دارد تا جنبهعلمی و تحقیقی، چرا که هویت ایرانی برایایرانیانی که متعلق به طبقات و مذاهب و قومیتهای گوناگون هستند یکسان نبوده و با توجه بهتغيير و تحولی که با افزایش سن در شخصیتافراد بوجود می آید، به ندرت می توان از مفهومثابتی به نام هویت ایرانی یاد کرد.با این حال وی گفت که مهاجرت نه تنها فرصتهای تحصیلی، حرفه ای، فرهنگی، سیاسی،اجتماعی و اقتصادی مطلوبی را برای ایرانیاندر آمریکا فراهم آورده است، بلکه امکاناتجدیدی را برای رشد گرایش های عاطفی، هویتفردی و تاسیس روابط اجتماعی نوین نیز دراختیار آنها قرار داده است. برای زنان ایرانی،دوری از فرهنگ پدرسالاری سنتی در ایران نهتنها به معنی کسب تجارت جد ید بلکه به معنیدوری از کنترل منظم و گسترده آن فرهنگ نیزبوده است. هویت زنان ایرانی، که در وطنوابسته به خانواده بود، در مهاجرت از آن جداشده و بر اساس شغل، مهارت، و خصایصشخصی تعیین می گردد. فرد یت در میان زنانایرانی مهاجر رشد شدید داشته و به استقلالفکری و روانی آنها کمک فراوان داشته است.وی پنج عاملی را که تاثیر منفی در موقعیت زنایرانی برای رشد اجتماعی در جامعه میزباندارد چنین بر شمرد: وابستگی به همسر یا مرد،عدم وجود امکانات اقتصادی، ترس از عواملیکه از اختیار وی خارج است، عدم آشنایی بابازار کار، نداشتن مهارتهای لازم و داشتنفرزند کوچک و در مراحل تحصیلی.پس از تشریح این عوامل و میزان تاثیر آنها براساس تحقیقات انجام شده، دکتر مهدی از خودیابی زنان ایرانی بعنوان مهمترین دستاوردمهاجرت یاد کرد و مراحلی را که زنان ایرانیدر مسیر خود یابی طی می کنند تشریح کرد. اینمراحل عبارتند از: خود جویی (من که هستم؟،بازنگری هویت قبلی و دوری از هویت انتسابیاز طرف خانواده، سنت، مذهب و جامعه )؛دگرجویی ( من وما، خانواده و اجتماع، هویتفرهنگی و ملی، ایرانی بودن، جایگاه زن درساختار مهاجرت)؛ وجهان سویی ( جایگاهایرانیان در جهان و در میان ملل). چندی دیگراز ویژگی های تغییر در رفتار و هویت زنانایران در آمریکا که در این سخنرانی موردبررسی قرارگرفتند عبارتنداز: عينی تربودنمفهوم وطن برای زنان نسبت به مردان ایرانی،استفاده از مهاجرت به عنوان فراگرد تعالی،کنترل بیشتر زنان بر تصمیم گیری های خانوادگی، دسترسی بیشتر به خدمات اجتماعی و منابععمومی و کسب اعتماد به نفس و احساس قویتری نسبت به "خود".</text>
