Rudy Pitcher calls his wife, Connie, his “combat buddy.”It's not an exaggeration.Pitcher, now retired from his Army career, was stationed in Tehran in 1978. His wife and their three young children — ages 5, 7, and 9 — were with him.Pitcher had spent a year learning Persian-Farsi before he left. At first, life was peaceful, with the shah's pro golfer teaching Pitcher's two young sons to golf.But everything changed in a matter of months. That's when the Islamic Republic under Ayatollah Khomeini threw out the pro-Western shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, ending the historical monarchy. Pitcher was the provost marshal in charge of security — and had eight installations overrun in 48 hours.“We got captured … They weren't killing us or our families, which was good,” says Pitcher in this week's Enterprise podcast.Find more at altamontenterprise.com Hosted on Acast.

You might have uncles, and you might have aunties. Iranians, however, have uncles, and they have uncles, and they have non-uncle uncles. This is because the titles given, differ, depending on the relation. Although this is not unique to Iran, there are many uniquely Iranian things that the world needs to know about Iranian aunts and uncles. What are they? Like any good Iranian uncle, we attempt to get deep into things. In this episode, we discuss the Persian words for aunts and uncles. We also let you know why Iranians, seemingly, have different feelings towards their aunts and uncles, depending on if they are your mother or father's sibling. As if that wasn't enough, we get into the good, the bad and the ugly Persian terms that involve Iranian aunts and uncles. We believe that comedy can help highlight disturbing topics by helping bring about awareness, and subsequent change for the better. In this episode we tackle one of the more disturbing ones: that of child abuse. We've heard anecdotal evidence of such happenings, and elude to this during our conversation. We conclude the conversations about this with a warning to those that might fall prey to such horrors. It goes without saying that we find such crimes against children abhorrent. Questions we also get answers to in this episode What is the Persian (Farsi) word for uncle?Why are some Iranian aunts and uncles more important?What is the Persian (Farsi) word for auntHow many words are there for aunt and uncle in Persian (Farsi)?Why do Iranian uncles and aunts answer you with their own title?How do you say aunt and uncle in Persian (Farsi)?Why is a Dāi better than an Amoo?What Persian (Farsi) phrases, idioms or terms use aunt or uncle?Why is a Khāleh better than an Ammeh?What are the gender neutral terms for aunt and uncle?Who is Amoo Sabzi Foroosh?What Persian (Farsi) phrases use aunt or uncle?Are there gender neutral terms for the words aunt and uncle?

Are you single? Are you married? No matter your answer, it's worth tuning in, as special guest Deaconess Kim Bueltmann joins us to talk about singleness. Is being single more than just a relationship status? If so, how does being single put one in a unique position to serve others in different ways? What are the struggles that singlehood may bring, and what are the blessings? How can married people serve single people? And then, how can single people honor marriage? DK (as host Steph Neugebauer refers to her throughout the show) will answer all of these questions in a single episode! Bio: Deaconess Kim Bueltmann is an LCMS missionary in Germany. She assists congregations in Leipzig and Chemnitz in providing outreach to refugees, primarily from Iran and Afghanistan. Kim is actively involved in worship planning and leading music for worship in the Persian (Farsi) language and works closely with Persian musicians in the congregations to develop more hymns and liturgy in their language. In addition, she offers diaconal support and teaches the Bible and Catechism to refugees, as well as socioeconomically disadvantaged Germans.

On today's episode, Zach recently sat down with Mark Oz Geist. Mark is a member of the Annex Security Team that fought the Battle of Benghazi, Libya, from September 11 to September 12, 2012. A Colorado native, Mr. Geist joined the United States Marine Corps in 1984. During his time in the service, he served in Barracks Duty in the Philippines, then with the 2nd Battalion 9th Marines Golf Company, as well as the Surveillance and Target Acquisition Platoon. He then was chosen to serve in the newly formed Marine Cadre program as an Anti-/Counter- Terrorism Instructor. Upon the completion of a very successful tour and re-enlistment, Mr. Geist changed his military occupational specialty to the Intelligence field, specializing in Interrogation Translation. He attended language school where he studied Persian Farsi.After serving 12 years in the United States Maine Corps, Mr. Geist became a Deputy Sheriff in Teller County, Colorado. Certified as a Forensic Interviewer of children, he investigated numerous case of abuse in which he helped to secure convictions of the perpetrators. He then took a job as Chief of Police in Fowler, Colorado. After leaving the Fowler Police Department, Mr. Geist began his own business in private investigations as well as bounty hunting and bail bonds.In 2004, Mr. Geist began doing contract security work in Iraq. He worked for Triple Canopy, providing Personal Security Details for Department of State personnel in Baquba, Iraq. Upon the completion of that contract he worked for USIS, the United States Investigative Services, training Iraqi SWAT teams and Personal Security Details. He also served as a mentor/advisor to the Personal Security Detail of Dr. Ayad Allawi, the former Prime Minister of Iraq.Mr. Geist finished his career as a security contractor in Benghazi, Libya, where he was credited with helping to save the lives of more than 25 Americans. Mr. Geist is still recovering from the injuries he sustained in the battle. He is a co-author of the bestselling book 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi.www.markgeist.comShadow Warriors ProjectThe Shadow Warriors project was created by Mark Oz Geist.We are a foundation that has been formed because of events that have taken place throughout the world where men have so bravely and anonymously offered their own life for the lives and safety of others.Shadow Warriors Project is a foundation dedicated to the support of private military security contractors, conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world's most dangerous areas. It is the only charity of its kind. Although the private security contractor has served in the military he is considered a civilian and does not receive the same support offered to injured active military or veterans. We are here to serve the private security contractor by offering financial support through heartfelt donations. By easing the load of these injured warriors it allows them to focus on healing, as an individual as well as the family unit.We are here to support those families who are dealing with the financial hardships now facing them by lifting the burden of the load so that these families can focus on healing mind, body, and spirit.The individuals receiving support from the Shadow Warriors Project are special operatives that were hired either through the CIA or via private security companies. These people are in need of assistance because there is no post-engagement support for them on their return to the U.S. like there is for military veterans. These operatives may have been killed or wounded, and our goal is to serve as a support system to them and/or their family. The individual financial assistance will be for medical bills, PTSD treatment, and other family therapies.  shadowwarriorsproject.org

Ep 50-How to make God's love visible with Rita El-Mounayer In this episode I get the honor of speaking with Rita El-Mounayer. Rita serves as the CEO of SAT-7 Christian TV which supports a growing Church in the Middle East and North Africa. She accounts testimonies of people being touched by SAT-7 who may have never heard off Jesus. Rita shares that it is our human right to share the love of Jesus, but it's the Holy Spirit's job to convert the human heart.  Born in Lebanon, Rita lost her mom during the war in Lebanon at only 7 years old. Fearing she would also lose her father who was a soldier in the war. As a child she lived in a bunker, saw people killed in front of her, but notes that her story is not unique. She says growing up in this environment and surviving it enables her to relate to many of the people that SAT-7 reaches. Rita began her media career as a radio host and producer with Far Eastern Broadcasting Associates radio in 1992. She joined SAT-7 in 1995, before it had broadcast a single program. When the channel launched, Rita hosted its first program, Ears of Wheat (in Arabic, Asanabel). This program ran for 12 years and became one of the channel's most successful programs. Initially serving as host and producer, Rita's role soon expanded to programming director for all children's programs on SAT-7. In 2004, she also became programming director for all of the Arabic programs at SAT-7. Then, with the launch of SAT-7 KIDS in 2007, her dream of launching the first independent, Arabic Christian channel for children became a reality. In 2008, Rita was named executive director for SAT-7 ARABIC and SAT-7 KIDS. In 2016, SAT-7 positioned for greater growth and impact with structural changes and key leaders taking on more responsibilities. At this time, Rita El-Mounayer began to serve in the newly created position, Chief Channels and Communications Officer (CCO), overseeing three Arabic channels, one Persian/Farsi channel, and one Turkish channel – with a total of more than 150 staff and freelancers, distributed across studios in Lebanon, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey and the UK. On April 1, 2019,  SAT-7 appointed Rita as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Rita says, “My prayer is that during my lifetime and time of service as CEO of SAT-7, we will see millions of viewers sharing their testimony as to how God's message changed their lives, and we will rejoice together that we made a difference.” Rita also plays a key role in mentoring new TV producers and continues to host two programs -- Bedtime Stories, a children's program, and My Story, a live talk show. Born in Lebanon, Rita lived through the violence of the Lebanese Civil War as a young girl. During that time, she and her sister found refuge from the horrors going on around them in television cartoons. She hoped someday to become involved in media to bring joy to children -- just as cartoons had done for her -- while broadcasting hope in Christ. Rita first served SAT-7 in Lebanon, and since 2005, she has served SAT-7 in Cyprus. Rita holds an M.A. in Communications from Cardiff University, Wales.   Connect with Rita @ https://www.sat7usa.org/ceo/ https://www.instagram.com/sat_7_usa/ https://www.facebook.com/SAT7USA/ https://www.youtube.com/user/SAT7NA Connect with me@  https://www.instagram.com/jeanneterryofficial/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/say-so-with-jeanne/id1498626299 https://sptfy.com/91lX @saysowithJeanne emailjeanneterry@gmail.com  https://www.pandora.com/podcast/say-so-with-jeanne/PC:33619 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX5r4xUnExP-bLy9aKkDCoQ?view_as=subscriber   Prayer of Salvation- Accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. If you said this prayer- you are justified immediately and made right with God. Living a life to glorify God is a life- long journey! But know that right now you are saved and set free from the bondage of sin (including past, present and future sin). Nothing can separate you from the love of God and living in eternity with Him. Did you receive Christ today? If so, Congratulations! It's the best decision you have ever made!

Something I often get asked about is the differences between the 3 major dialects of Persian: Iranian (Farsi), Afghan (Dari), and Tajik. This is a topic I've studied a lot, as a student/speaker of Dari and Tajik who had to learn Iranian Persian in a pinch. So, I've tried to work through the major differences between these three dialects in a 2-part series. Check out Part 2, which focuses on differences in vocabulary and grammar between the three dialects!

NAATI and All Graduates have collaborated in an initiative that aims to provide information to practitioners directly from a NAATI representative. Every quarter, a panel of NAATI managers will answer questions that Interpreters and Translators have sent through using an online form. Questions will be picked at random and directed at the panel by Fatih at the end of each quarter.Guest Bio: Ask NAATI March 2021, features Certification Policy and Development Manager, Aurelie Sheehan and National Operations Manager, Michael Nemarich on the panel.List of Questions for Part 2:-T&I Testing material (Farsi) is not standard, has errors in it. Examiners and test designers Don't Have Tertiary Qualifications in interpreting and translation and that's why they made many mistakes in choosing test materials and in examining the test. I and many of us raised the matter to NAATI, it is time for them to change the system and invite fresh, educated people in the panel. Why doesn't NAATI want to replace the uneducated (male-dominated) Persian/Farsi panel with academic and highly educated examiners and test designers? Why someone with no tertiary education in interpreting/translation, someone with only limited knowledge should be a NAATI examiner and test designer?-I am planning to take the Certified Interpreter test soon & do not have many materials to practice by myself. Any comments on this?-Based in New Zealand. Can I train and become certified through NAATI?-Can I apply for the Certified Interpreter exam while I am still studying? I have completed the key interpreting units and would like to sit my exam ASAP.-I took the Interpreting test a couple of times and was unsuccessful. I got my doctorate here in Australia and I have been working as a freelance interpreter for many years. However, I didn't have the NAATI qualifications to pursue my dream of focusing on an Interpreting job. The ways role players did weren't fair because they kept talking which is not true in a real conversation. If we interrupt them so many times, we're seen not capable to do the interpreting job, but if we don't, we only can interpret the overall meaning of the segment. Examiners' members, please put yourself in the situation, if somebody told you 5 or 7 sentences very fast non-stop and you were asked to repeat exactly without errors, can you do that? Another problem was that the markers marked sentence by sentence like the written language test. Can the NAATI examiners' board please make sure to have a fair test and marking for us so more people can get NAATI qualifications? Thank you!-As a recognised interpreter for Kirundi, how can I get a certification?Your interest and support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will join us for our events throughout 2021 and onwards.Don't forget to visit our training website for more information and PD opportunities: https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/

Chapter 5 discribes how I hired smugglers from the Kirdish underground to get out of Iran and my experiences in a boarder city called Urumeh. Iran Flag The map shows Iran, an Islamic state between the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south. The country is officially named the Islamic Republic of Iran. Until the 1980s in the Western world, Persia was historically the common name for Iran. Persia was a monarchy until 1979 when the last Persian Shah Reza Pahlavi was overthrown in a popular uprising, headed by Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran borders Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan. It shares maritime borders with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. With an area of 1,648,195 km², Iran is almost three times the size of France or somewhat smaller than the US state of Alaska. Large parts of the country occupy the Iranian Plateau (or Persian Plateau, a geological formation in Western and Central Asia). A broad portion of Iran's coastal regions at the Persian Gulf is part of the Arabian plate. The highest mountain in Iran is Mount Damavand at 5,610 m (18,410 ft), a potentially active volcano in the Alborz mountain range south of the Caspian Sea, about 70 km northeast of Tehran. Most rivers in Iran are relatively short, shallow streams, the only navigable river is the Karun (Karoun) with a length of 725 km. The country has a population of 82 million people (est. 2019). The largest city and capital is Tehran. Other major cities are Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj (a suburb of Tehran), Tabriz, Shiraz, Ahvaz, and Qom. Spoken language is Persian (Farsi, official).

In this show we are joined by an Iranian chef, Shahriar of Shahriar’s Kitchen, who helps us answer a questions from one of our listeners, Susie. She wants to know why it is that all Iranian bread is flat. Our guest, Shahriar, has worked as a chef around the world, and although he has a wealth of experience with Iranian and international cuisine, for his first appearance on Ask An Iranian we asked him to help get you familiar with one of Iran’s staples, flatbreads. What we discuss in this show What is Iran’s national bread?What is the Iranian ‘sangak‘ and bread and how it is made?What is the Iranian ‘barbari‘ bread and how is it made?What type of oven is used to bake Iranian bread?Can you chip a tooth or burn your tongue when eating fresh ‘sangak’?How many seconds do you have to eat lavash before it’s inedible?Which queue you should stand in when at an Iranian bakeryDo Iranians dip ‘barbari’ bread in their tea?Is it true that truck drivers put bread in their cola? What makes flatbread flat? Photo of fresh Iranian ‘sangak’ bread being made at an Iranian bakery, by Ninara This question is not so easily answered, and we maybe don’t address this question so directly in the show, so allow us to do so here. Flatbreads are unleavened, for the most part, and in most cases, don’t use a rising agent such as yeast. Flatbreads range from below one millimetre to a few centimetres thick so that they can be easily eaten without being sliced. They can be baked in an oven, fried in hot oil, grilled over hot coals or cooked on a hot pan. For a comprehensive list of flatbreads in the Middle East, please follow this link to Wikipedia. How you can follow Shahriar You can follow Shahriar on Instagram, by going to Shahriar’s Kitchen. At the time of recording the show, Shahriar’s infused olive oils and vinegars were available in Tehran’s, Beethoven Museum. Break bread with friends and family Iranian barbari bread In this episode we discuss how Iranians leave Iran with suitcases of freezer-bagged bread. Although this is mostly for personal consumption, Iranian bread is also taken as a souvenir, or “soghaty”, for Iranian friends and family. If you want to learn more about the Iranian culture of souvenir giving, you can listen to our show about “soghaty”. Any questions, or any answers? If you have any questions about Iranian bread, please leave a comment below, or if you are Iranian and think we’ve missed something, please also let us know in the comments below.

This week on MIA Radio, we interview US Navy Veteran and Co-Founder of Minority Veterans of America, Lindsay Church. Lindsay served from 2008-2012 as a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (Linguist). During her time in the service, she attended language school at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA where she learned Persian-Farsi. After spending two years at a cyber intelligence command, she left the Navy and returned home to Seattle. Upon returning home, Lindsay attended the University of Washington where she earned her BA in Near Eastern Language and Civilization and Islamic Studies and an MA in International Studies – Middle East. At the University of Washington, Lindsay co-founded the office of Student Veteran Life, where she also served as the University Liaison for the Student Veterans of AmericaChapter there. In 2017, Lindsay started the Minority Veterans of America to ensure there is a community of support around the underrepresented veterans so that we may see the true diversity of the U.S. military reflected in our veteran communities. We discuss: How Lindsay was enlisted in 2008 under “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and served all but three months of her time in the Navy under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. That Lindsay is a third-generation Navy veteran with many family members also serving. How during her Navy career she had multiple health issues arising from an inverted sternum, but a surgical procedure was botched and she experienced multiple complications, spending 5 days in ICU with a collapsed lung. How within 18 months of enlisting she had been prescribed 16 different medications including painkillers, antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. How she then had to endure a number of further surgeries but managed to complete language school in spite of the surgeries and complications. Lindsay recalls being amazed that she is alive considering the cocktail of meds she was prescribed. How she came to be stuck for six months at a medical barracks in San Diego. That Lindsay got to a point in 2010 where she felt that she couldn’t go on. That she was being transitioned between Klonopin, Effexor, Valium and Zoloft almost every month which led to intense suicidal thoughts and how she considered jumping from a fifth-floor window. That she recalls asking for psychological support but instead only received more psychiatric drugs. How Lindsay made the decision in 2010 to get off the antidepressants and then in 2011 came off the opioids and has refused painkillers since, finally in 2012 she came off the anti-anxiety drugs. Lindsay says that it hurts to have realized that suicidal thoughts occurred during times of being switched between psychiatric medications, and changes her way of viewing past events in her life. How Lindsay notes that it is very easy to get referred into psychiatry and onto the drugs but very difficult to find appropriate psychological support. That Lindsay moved back to Seattle after leaving the Navy in 2012 and is thankful her mom is a veteran, as she helped her navigate the VA. How Lindsay’s experiences both with the military medical system but also witnessing pervasive misogyny, racism and homophobia in the American Legion, led her to resign her position and to co-found the Minority Veterans of America. How she found that female veterans are 2.2 times more likely to die by suicide than their civilian counterparts and LGBTQ veterans are 2 times more likely to die by suicide than their civilian counterparts. That she now works with people of color, women, LGBTQ and religious and non-religious minorities, many of whom are disenfranchised from the veteran community, so the goal is to bring people into a supportive community to break the isolation, because isolation is a killer. How important social engagement is to address the isolation felt by minority veteran communities. That as regards herself, she is working on reaching the person that she was five years ago when she didn’t think that she belonged or that her story was unique, or even worthy of even being told. That if readers want to know more they can visit MinorityVets.org which is a non-profit. How she feels that we don’t have another three to five years to address the suicide epidemic amongst the veteran community, Congressional action is needed now.

When the Navy called for a Persian Farsi linguist to deploy to the Persian Gulf and cover the Iranian revolution in late 1979, the only options Tom Chesno had to offer were three Airmen who had just finished their schooling. This is their story.

On the outset of the Iranian Revolution of 1978/1979, there were only a few Persian Farsi military linguists ready to jump into action. Michael Ruhm, Michael Sherman and Don Huntington, recent graduates of Persian Farsi, were working for Tom Chesno, when the embassy hostage crisis began.

I have as my guest today Melanie Courtright, EVP of Global Research Science at Research Now SSI, the global leader in digital market research and data services. Thanks to the merger of the two market research data leaders Research Now and SSI at the end of 2017, the company has one of the world’s largest first-party data assets built on permissioned research data. With a combined history of decades, the company has developed its core of data through a variety of panels, such as eRewards and the Opinionology panels, just to mention a couple. SSI acquired the Opinionology business in 2011.  And eRewards, an industry pioneer of online research data established in 1999, acquired Research Now and became Research Now Group in 2014. Since the merger, Research Now SSI is something of a standard setter for data quality. [00:00:00] Hi. I’m Jamin Brazil. And you're listening to the Happy Market Research podcast. I have as my guest today Melanie Courtright, EVP of global research science at Research Now SSI, the global leader in digital market research and data services. Thanks to the merger of the two market research data leaders, Research Now and SSI at the end of 2017 the company has one of the world’s largest first-party data assets built on permission to research data. Since the merger, Research Now SSI is something of a standard for market research data quality. Melanie has spent more than two decades in the consumer insights industry and is a leading voice in market research for trends and the next generation of data collection. Thank you Melanie for joining us today. [00:00:48] It’s my pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me. [00:00:50] So I’m super-excited about our conversation. You and I have operated in the same circles for two decades and known each other for I think about half that. Your work at Research Now and SSI has certainly put you in the forefront of tech in the market research space focusing specifically on online and then later mobile and social today. On top of that you’ve written some award-winning work that has informed our industry. But before all the nerd stuff, I think it would b really helpful for our audience if you would talk just a little bit about your background and how you wound up in market research. [00:01:28] Sure. That’s a fun story. I didn’t actually grow up wanting to be a market researcher. I’m one of those people who found my way into market research. I was actually planning to be a professional vocalist. My formal education is in languages and music. I speak Spanish and I learned Persian Farsi while I was in the military. I also read biblical Greek. I was a first soprano. I’m still very active in singing. And if you were to be in my car on my way home any day you would hear me singing at the top of my lungs all the way to and from work. But – so after I left the military, I started doing some research. I joined Texas Instruments and I worked on a Department of Defense program for Texas Instruments. And then after that I left when my third child was born. I began working from home doing transcription and translation work for a local research firm. I spent years with that firm translating, cleaning, and coding verbatim comments from employer and customer feedback programs. It was during that time that I really learned a lot about the needs of employees and the needs of consumers translating and transcribing their words into a consumable coding that companies could use. So I spent a lot of time just getting to know the hearts and minds of people all over the world through that couple of years spent with verbatim comments. And from there I just grew in my love of research and in my roles across all the companies I’ve been at. [00:02:52] It’s so funny. You know I started out – I call it the bells of market research.

In this episode of Language Matters, we delve into a complex and sensitive group of languages, including Persian Farsi, Dari, and Tajik. Native Dari speaker born in Afghanistan, Faraidoon Saadat, joins us along with Persian Farsi speaker and Iran native, Fatemeh Towhidi.
