Astorga is a town in the province of León, northern Spain. It lies 27 miles southwest of the provincial capital of León, and is the head of the council (comarca) of La Maragatería.The river Tuerto flows through it. As of 2009[update], its population was about 12,242 people. It is the 5th most populated municipality in province of Leon which has over 211 municipalities. Astorga pre dates the 910 AD Kingdom of León by 875 years.
Astorga lies in the area of the Maragatos, a small ethnic and cultural community with distinctive customs and architecture. The town lies along the French route of the Way of St. James (Spanish: Camino de Santiago). Saint Turibius of Astorga was bishop of the city in the 5th century.
- The Timeline of Galician history that includes Astorga has artifactual evidence dating beyond the Paleolithic age of over 200,000 years BC. 130 miles away from Astorga Atapuerca Mountains in Sierra de Atapuerca contain a rich fossil record of the earliest human beings in Spain, from nearly one million years ago and extending up to the Common Era. The scientific study of which provides priceless information about the appearance and the way of life of these remote human ancestors. The fossil remains in the Sierra de Atapuerca constitute an exceptional reserve of information about the physical nature and the way of life of the earliest human communities in Spain. The regional government of Castile and León has designated the site an Espacio cultural.
- Tin Artifacts dating 2750 BC using metallurgical diffusion chronologic dating were found in the area of Astorga. Atifacts such as tube and double ring axes were located in the area of Astorga significant to the a cultural complex Atlantic Bronze Age period of approximately 1300–700 BC that includes the Castro Galician/Galicia cultures.
- After the Punic Wars in 146 BC, the Romans turned their attention to conquering Hispania. The tribe of the Gallaeci 60,000 strong, according to Paulus Orosius, faced the Roman forces led by Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus in 137 BC in a battle at the River Douro. From this time, Gallaic fighters joined the Roman legions, to serve as far away as Dacia and Britain. The final extinction of Celtic resistance was the aim of the violent and ruthless Cantabrian Wars fought under the Emperor Augustus from 28 to 19 BC.
- Astorga in the Iron Age, the territory came under the cultural influence of the Celts; the local Celtic peoples inhabited the area around 275 BC, known as the Astures and the Cantabri. Later become one of the Roman strongholds in the region they called Asturica.
- During Cantabrian wars (28-19 BC), Roman legions VI Victrix (Sixth Victorious Legion) and X Gemina (Tenth Twin Legion) were sent and established a castra on the Leonesian land. This castra was strategically placed between the Jerga and Tuerto rivers. The castra was important because of Astures revolutions (22 BC) and proximity to gold mines of Las Medulas.
- The Roman city was founded in 14 BC, being entitled by Emperor Octavian as Asturica Augusta now known as Astorga.[1] It became an important administrative and military centre. The Roman walls were rebuilt by Bishop Nuño around 1242 and they underwent several repairs during the Middle Ages. The city had thermal baths with hot, warm, cold water systems, sauna's and two main sewer system still in use today. Ruins of Roman baths are still visible today.
- In 35 AD as mining plans developed, this Roman Hispania castra was redesigned and built with the help of the army, into a city. A provincial capital, and the meeting-place of four military roads. Vía de la PlataFrom (Silver Way) or Ruta de la Plata (Silver Route) is an ancient commercial and pilgrimage path that connects Astorga to Mérida. It was conceived and built as a trade route for the exploitation of gold. The Roman causeway allowed the Romans to conquer tribes such as the Callaici, the Astures, and the Vacceos. Pliny the Elder in 73 AD spoke of Vía de la PlataFrom. The road stretched around 560 miles and the Roman's highest importance for the gold mines of Las Medulas and the copper mines of Rio Tinto.
- Asturica was the main city in north-west Spain during the Roman Empire. Plinius Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as naval and army commander called the city Urbs magnifica ("magnificent city"). The Via Platea went from Asturica (Astorga) to Emerita (Mérida). One of the first three bishoprics in Spain was founded in Astorga, know as the Roman Catholic Diocese of Astorga. The title of Bishop of Astorga is one of the oldest religious charges of Europe.
- Astorga was sacked by the Visigothic King Theodoric II sometime during time of his throne of 453 - 466 AD. During the waves of invasion of the peninsula by the Germanic tribes, one bishop was the noted Turibio. He documented the conversion of the Suebic King Remismund to Arianism, and worked to restore the churches destroyed by the Visigoths. The bishop was able to travel to Rome, from which he brought back what is believed to be a relic of the True Cross, for which he founded the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana, where it is still preserved. Because Romans had control of the city, Christianity became very popular in this area during the early church. There is a legend that Santiago and St. Paul both preached in Astorga and there is proof that there was a bishopric around the 3rd century. At the very beginning of Leo I's pontificate, in the years 444-447, Turribius, the bishop of Astorga in León, sent to Rome a memorandum warning that Priscillianism was by no means dead, reporting that it numbered even bishops among its supporters, and asking the aid of the Roman See. The distance was insurmountable in the 5th century. Germanic tribes, the Visigoths, took control over Astorga and destroyed the Roman city. However, it prospered with the help of Saints Toribio, Fructuoso, and Valerio.
- After the Berbers' withdrawal to join the blazing Berber rebellion (739-742) and the campaigns of Alfonso I of Asturias (742-757) against the Andalusians, the city was abandoned, being in the largely empty buffer zone between Moors and Christians known at the time as "The Desert of the Duero", and was part of the Repoblación ("repopulation") effort carried out a century later during the reign of Ordoño I of Asturias (850-866). Astorga suffered from decadence until the 11th century, when the city became a major stop on the French route for the pilgrims to the tomb of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela. Construction of the cathedral began in the 15th century and finished in the late 18th century.
- Jews were living in the fortified section of Astorga as early as the 11th century. Later they inhabited two quarters in the city. A street called the Garden (Paseo) of the Synagogue formerly ran beside the old city wall. Many Jews in Astorga were forcibly converted to Christianity in 1230–31. Although there is no record of the fate of the Jews of Astorga during the 1391 massacres, they suffered in the persecutions of 1412. At the synod held in Valladolid in 1432, the Astorga community claimed privileges exempting them from payment of crown taxes. The community existed until the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. Jews established their trades in the city. To this day, Astorga is the home of value-adding and special products.
- In 1528 Hernán Cortés brought Mexican Cacao bean to Spain. In the museum of chocolate in Astorga, 16th-century hot-chocolate mugs are displayed. Astorga is the European birthplace of chocolate. One sees Astorga chocolate all over the region. The Marquisate of Astorga, the Diocese and the Maragato muleteers made Astorga a pioneer in the elaboration of chocolate from the 17th century. In 1914 there were 49 chocolate manufacturers in town.
- In 1747 Antonio Martín book contains the recipe Mantecadas de Astorga (a mantecada is a muffin size cake similar to pound cake French madeleine cakes). The European Union designated them an historically and geographically significant part of Spanish cuisine. References indicating that the recipe originated with a nun from the Holy Spirit Convent in Astorga, who later left the convent and popularised the product. In Official Journal of the European Union UNE-EN 45011 Regulatory Board through the Certification Committee established standards for Mantecadas de Astorga. Astorga's Chamber of Commerce reports the amount of mantecadas de Astorga carried by the Spanish railways in 1930 (the Spanish Northern and Western railway company) was 208 tons. A high percentage of the product is sold to tourists along with the well known Hojaldres de Astorga (puff pastry of Astorga).
- During the Peninsular War, Astorga was besieged by the French Napoleonic troops. Astorga was the farthest town in the Iberian Peninsula in which the Emperor Napoleon resided. The Siege of Astorga in 21 March - 22 April 1810 was an attempt by French forces to capture Astorga, Spain in a campaign of the Peninsular War. Astorga was located on the flank of the French invasion of Spain and Portugal, and was meant to be used as a headquarters during the campaign.
- Because of its location, Astorga was a place for pilgrims to rest and get ready to climb the mountains in the west or to rejuvenate after climbing east. Astorga had 21 hospices. Today, there is the Hospital de las Hermana de la Caridad which is a medical facility in front of the cathedral that was built after the destruction of the 12th-century hospital that was consequently destroyed in 1756.
- is 485 mile pilgrimage is also called St. James Way to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela where the remains of the apostle Saint James are buried. This is the third largest pilgrimage in Christianity for more than 1000 years with a stop in Astorga. The movie The Way (film) is an inspirational movie in 2010 starring Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez walking the Camino de Santiago.
- During the second half of the 19th century Astorga has the arrival of the railway and development of the current city, which expands outside its Roman walls. Astorga is again a significant network of road connections, and it recovers the social and economical vibrancy, which has tourism as one of its main focal points.

Neither good nor evil, they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and strange, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have, over the ages, come to be known as "mushi". Ginko is a mushishi — a person who can see the small pseudo-nature-spirit entities known as mushi, which both mystify and plague mankind. With little more than his wits and experience to guide him, Ginko walks the earth (or more specifically Japan) helping humans who have become unpleasantly entangled with the mushi. The mushi themselves are rarely sentient and occupy a nebulous zone between things that can be identified as life forms and things that cannot, such as a swamp that travels from location to location, or tiny heat-absorbing microbes. Usually the motivation for the mushi is as simple as survival or reproduction, such as a sound-eating mushi infecting a human, causing deafness; but because of their mystical properties, they tend to cause a variety of troubles when they interact with humans.The manga ran for nine years, ending in 2008. It was adapted into an anime that ran for 26 episodes, ending in mid-2006. 2014 saw a TV special and a sequel series. Most of the episodes were stand-alone stories, though a few interconnected with other episodes in an oblique manner.The series' general tone is extremely mellow and in some ways seemed toned after a PBS docudrama. Though many civilians take offense at whatever mushi-related troubles they have, Ginko sees problems to be solved by understanding rather than pests to be exterminated (even if he does often wind up killing the mushi from necessity). Personal tragedy and triumph tends to blossom for many of the individuals Ginko encounters, yet the overall theme seems to be a reverence for the mundane as well as the fantastic; people learn to appreciate such simple joys as the sound of their own heartbeat, for example.Also, a Live-Action Adaptation Movie was made by Katsuhiro Otomo (AKIRA), which won many independent film awards.The series is now available on Hulu and Youtube.This series provides examples of:

I just imagine, one day, after 4-5 years, how they open the book and start reading about what their fans felt in the good old times...
This is amazing idea, I totally support this!!

I decided to try out DVDibbler and everytime it gives me this error message: "DVDibbler Application Supprt does not exist or has been incorrectly installed. See DVDibbler Help for instructions."
handbrake speed
I have a powerbook 1.25ghz. I don't see how this can be much faster than your G4 1.2ghz. I can rip a 1.5hr movie in just over 3 hrs. I noticed that choosing XviD is a LOT slower than ffmpeg. Try that option from the popup.
Handbrake VERY slow
I'm running handbrake right now on an 800Mhz imac ripping a normal length movie (no css). it says it will take about 10 hours to finish. Yikes! It is getting essetially all of the cpu time and is not memory starved. I'm ripping of the hard drive video Tos folder not off a DVD.
I have been fooling around with this program for a couple days now, with varying degrees of success. It lets you specify the medium that you want to burn onto and conforms the file to that size. If I can get it to work, this will be the best program I have found.
What sort of problems does it have?
DVD - DVD-r
What you need is DVD2onex, an amazing program.
DVD - DVD-r
Thanks! Now, to be cheap, I wonder if there is less expensive program than this one. Its $50 plus shipping. And there's no indications about what sort of arifcats/quality it creates and no pressure to optimize these like in open source.
DVD - DVD-r
Believe me, DVD2One is WELL worth the money! Quality is amazing unless you push it too hard (like trying to fit two 8gig DVDs on one 4gig DVD-R - still watcheable by the way but obviously not as good as the original).
DVD - DVD-r
Dvd20nex is shareware so you can download it from their page and try it out. It will process the first 30 minutes of your movie exactly like it does the full thing so you can see the quality for yourself. Then if you decide to buy it you are just paying for the serial number that you enter from the program. |

April 28, 2010
This is it, finally a killer jacket that can protect you from the elements while looking good :D We go offroading and rockcrawling a lot, and being cold makes it for a not so fun day. This jacket is a great tool to have in your everyday or just for outdoors arsenal against cold, and strong enough that will last!!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valueGreat jacket!!
February 07, 2011
As usual Carhartt comes throught with a great reliable jacket. My only problem was that it fit much larger then I imagined it would. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who needs to work outside on a daily basis
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: larger fitGreat jacket
June 30, 2009
Haven't used it yet, got it for father's day. I am looking forward to using it in the winter. I know that the Carhart brand is very durable. I drive a truck and do a little construction, so this should be perfect for me.
warm and rugged
April 24, 2010
This jacket is really warm for its thickness and is going to be great for landscaping work in the fall.
November 22, 2012
My Dad had a Carhartt jacket while I was growing up. I finally bought my first one and I wish I would have done it long ago. Awesome Jacket. The Carhartt name means great quality.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valueJanuary 10, 2012
First, I choose Carhartt becaues its Made in USA!!! Next, its made of great quality and is durable to withstand the elements of mother nature and whatever job you are doing. Keep in mind Carhartts run small in size. Altrec is very efficient with shipping product. Definitely will be continuing my future purchases with them.
Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great valueGood Procuct
January 12, 2011
This Carhartt Jacket met my expectations. It is perfect for Minnesota weather. I would purchase products here again.
Pros: Great valueGreat buy!!!
April 16, 2010
Two reasons I bought this jacket, one was the incredible price and the other to keep me warm on my motorcycle rides and it hasn't disappointed me. The canvas is still a bit stiff, but it'll soften as it ages. The fleece lining is quite comfy and warm. Very good buy over all.
Wonder Jacket
March 17, 2010
This jacket is great, in terms of looks and construction this is THE perfect combo, cold weather is no issue when you have got this on, but also the price can't be beat!
Perfect Work Jacket
December 18, 2011
This jacket is tough, durable, warm, roomy for work, and just an all around perfect jacket. It is quality crafted and good looking. Could be worn on dates or to church if you didn't work in it. I would guess temperature comfort range at low teens to about 50 degrees. I couldn't be more pleased: it is definitely my favorite go to jacket when heading out into the chill.
Pros: Build quality, Great value, warm and comfortableEXCELLENT JACKET
March 15, 2009
this is the best jacket for your money. It keeps you very warm in low temps.i work in a wharehouse and it gets cold in there .this jacket does the job in keeping my warm.
Great Jacket!
November 28, 2010
I bought this jacket for my son for Christmas. It is a very warm jacket that is going to be used as everyday but will be great for working outdoors. I am very impressed with the durability of this jacket. I am going to purchase one for my husband and father-in-law.They will be using this jacket when out plowing snow. I am so glad I learned about this jacket. Also I received my purchase very fast. Would definatelly recommend this site and jacket to others.
Pros: Build quality, PerformanceWarm, affordable and you'll get it quick!
November 05, 2009
Awesome jacket! Spacious enough for a few layers underneath but you'll have to be somewhere pretty cold to need them. Currently with temps in the low 40's, I don't need anything else and better yet, this thing can probably withstand a nuclear blast. DURABLE.
Great Jacket
February 10, 2009
I have been very pleased with this jacket. It keeps you warm even when the temp is in the teens.The drawstring in the hood helps to keep the wind and cold out.
Staff uniform jacket
December 14, 2010
I outfitted my installer crew with this jacket as a Christmas gift last year. We had our company name monogramed on the back and the persons name on the front. The staff is very pleased with the quality and everyone wears them on and off the job. The only drawback we encountered was with the hood. When you get in your vehicle and the hood is not on your head, it bunches up around your neck. Then there is not enough room inbetween the headrest and it pushes your head forward. I just roll the hood up a few turns before I get in the truck. Not a major issue, and the positive qualities of this item far outweigh a bulky hood.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Great value, Cons: Bad designGREAT
December 08, 2009
Worn while selling Christmas trees. Warmer than anything else without the bulk that gets in the way. Tough construction so you don't have to worry about putting it through the paces.
Good Coat
November 29, 2010
A favorite coat for a college kid. Warm, waterproof and durable. Good for Connecticut winter and ski country.
Pros: Build quality, Great valueA new favorite!
January 13, 2011
This jacket arrived right before a snow and ice (well, maybe more ice than snow) storm. Soon as I looked at its design and construction I was impressed, and now after using it for multiple chores and goofing off in the snow (OK, mostly ice) I feel I can say that, so far as I'm concerned, this jacket lives up to its hype. It is one tough and warm jacket that is most comfortable. Of course, when it's really cold you need some additional layers of clothes under it. The insulated hood is a great aid when it's real windy or there's rain/sleet/snow. The zipper is large and well made; that is a weak link in many jackets. I really like that duck cloth; it contributes greatly to the durability of this jacket. However, it may be too noisy for some kinds of hunting. Still, overall I would highly recommend this jacket. It is already a clear favorite of mine. I appreciate Altrec promptly shipping the jacket to me.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGreat Jacket
January 10, 2013
Nice jacket, but the jacket and hood are very stiff until broken in. the jacket keeps you warm and the wind out, love the hood keeps the wind off your neck.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Cons: stiff when newExtremely warm and durable
December 31, 2009
This is the second one of these jackets that I have purchased. They're excellent. I work on a farm and in the winters this is my go-to jacket. It's lightweight enough not to be cumbersome, but heavy enough to keep you warm. I often times wear it with a sweatshirt underneath, which works great on really cold days. The jacket is also extremely durable. I've literally taken one of these jackets through hell and back and it still lasted me several years. This jacket is a great buy, especially for the price.
Nice Jacket
March 12, 2010
I got this for hubby for his birthday. He loves it. Good quality, excellent price and quick shipping.

Evolutionists can be excellent storytellers. For example, Dr. Ken Miller, a biology professor from Brown University who testified against Intelligent Design (ID) at the Dover trial,1 tells an engaging story that he claims is compelling evidence for evolution. The problem is that because of his naturalistic assumptions, he himself is unable to distinguish fact from fiction, science from conjecture.
Humans normally have 46 chromosomes. However, sometimes two chromosomes will fuse together to form one big chromosome. Centric fusions are where two acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere very close to one end) fuse to make a large metacentric chromosome (one with the centromere near the middle). It is estimated that around 1/1000 people carry this type of chromosomal rearrangement. While they are sometimes associated with problems such as infertility or serious chromosomal aberrations in the offspring, often they are asymptomatic.2 This is because all of the necessary information is there in the proper amount; it is just packaged differently.
The tale of missing chromosomes
There are many anatomical similarities between humans and apes. Our chromosomes are similar as well. We can see these similarities in the banding patterns of the chromosomes. One obvious difference between the human and ape karyotype is that apes have 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) and humans normally have 46 (23 pairs). Dr. Miller likes to tell an entertaining "who done it" type story asking where the missing chromosome pair went. He then points out the scientific evidence for a fusion event on human chromosome 2. There is evidence that implies a fusion event may have occurred.3 Human chromosome 2 corresponds to ape chromosomes 12 and 13. Dr. Miller states, "Our chromosome number 2 was formed by the fusion of two primate chromosomes."4 Dr. Miller assumes common ancestry and the number of chromosomes is consistent with his belief. However, he misses other important evidence that contradicts his basic claim.
Most importantly, reliable eyewitness testimony is more powerful than circumstantial evidence in establishing historical details. The Bible, inspired by the Creator himself, indicates that humans were created in the image of God and distinct from other animals.5 Humans are clearly distinct from other animals in cognitive and language ability. Occasionally, the ability of chimps to use tools or simple sign language is touted as evidence for their close relationship with us. In reality, chimps are not significantly different in these areas from many other mammals and birds (except that they can use their hands more like us). Chimps lack the anatomy for human speech. Ironically, a few birds have been known to use human language quite well, at least for an animal.6 Simple tool making ability is also seen in a variety of animals.7 While intelligence in animals is quite fascinating, it is still significantly different from that of humans and gives no hint of common ancestry. The similarities are much more easily explained by the fact that these animals all had a common designer who reused certain excellent design elements much like engineers do in their creations today.
Observed patterns of chromosomal rearrangement
Dr. Miller's enthusiasm about this chromosomal rearrangement may be tied to the older notion that such mutations are the basis for speciation.8 This belief was shown to be overly simplistic decades ago when papers appeared describing chromosomal variations which were not eliminated by selection. One intriguing example is a single species of rodent (Holochilus brasiliensis) where 26 different karyotypes were identified in the 42 individuals tested.9 Chromosomal rearrangements have been identified within many ruminant species. There are examples in both goats and sheep where individuals with one or more centric fusions are phenotypically indistinguishable from other animals.10 One researcher who studied sheep carrying up to three different centric fusions concluded, "It is now considered that there is little or no evidence to suggest that centric fusions in a variety of combinations affect the total productive fitness of domestic sheep."11 So, the bottom line is that centric fusions themselves do not inevitably result in a new species. It is conceivable that some apes exist with 46 chromosomes. Yet these animals will be distinctly apes; they will not be "evolving" to become a human. If the observed evidence is really from a fusion, it is best explained by the fusion of two human chromosomes.
A diversion from the real issue
The biggest problem with Dr. Miller's story is that it distracts the audience from the real issue. It is not the number of chromosomes that is really a significant difference between humans and apes, but the information contained on those chromosomes. According to the evolutionary scenario, our apelike ancestors underwent major anatomical restructuring to develop upright posture, speech ability, and an astounding increase in cognitive function all by random, chance processes. Such profound changes were never observed; they are inferred because evolution has an atheistic basis and assumes there is no creator.
Despite the superficial similarities between human and ape chromosomes, there are important differences on the molecular level. There are many protein coding genes in humans that are distinctly human and are not found in chimps. Perhaps more significantly are the differences in genes that don't code for proteins. Genes have been described which code for microRNA (miRNA). The miRNA molecule is not translated, but acts directly to control gene expression. A single miRNA can regulate the expression of dozens or even hundreds of genes. A study of miRNAs expressed in the brain found 51 of 447 new miRNAs were distinctly human and 25 were only found in the chimp.12 The idea that so many genes were altered so that they are expressed in the proper concentration according to cell type and can effectively control the many different genes they regulate is not what we would expect of chance processes.13 It is more rational to believe that God created humans distinct from chimps, just as He tells us in the Bible.
Blind to alternatives
While the evidence for a fusion appears consistent with the evolution model, Dr. Miller implies that it is inconsistent with ID or creation models. He makes the ludicrous claim that the only way creationists can respond to this evidence is: "That's the way the designer made it."4 This statement reveals Dr. Miller's inability to think outside his paradigm. As a creationist who finds chromosomal rearrangements fascinating, I can honestly say I never thought of that possibility. One possibility I had considered is that humans and apes (and perhaps other animals too) were created with the same number of chromosomes with similar banding patterns.14 Since chromosome numbers vary within created kinds, it is not in the chromosome number where we should expect the most significant differences to lie, but in the coded information.
Although Ken Miller's story does not properly consider current scientific understanding of chromosomal fusions or significant genomic differences between apes and humans, he promotes it enthusiastically to support his belief that humans descended from apes. Furthermore, he is ardently opposed to teaching intelligent design in the schools, claiming that it is not scientific.15 He appears to be blind to the fact that the belief that humans descended from apes is a religious (atheistic) one; such changes have never been observed. Thus, he is not able to distinguish between science and religious indoctrination.
True science and the Bible believer
Despite the misunderstanding and wild story telling of evolutionists, science is truly a fascinating and rewarding field for Christians who believe the Bible. The sciences were founded by people with a strong Christian worldview.16 There are still many fascinating questions waiting to be answered. For example, why do chromosomal rearrangements occur? It has been pointed out in the literature that they are non-random.17 Do they have a purpose? (Evolutionists aren't supposed to ask this.) Do they play a role in speciation? If so, how? Do they help animals adapt to new environments? Why are there times when they cause problems (i.e. some carriers have a high percentage of unbalanced gametes18 which results in infertility or abnormalities in their offspring)? How can they become fixed in a population? God's world is out there waiting to be explored. The truth is far more fascinating than fairy tales.

If a translocation is present without either homologue, then the gamete will be balanced. Back

Indefinite and definite integrals
Indefinite integral as anti-derivative. Definite integral as area under a curve. Integration by parts. U-substitution. Trig substitution.
Indefinite integral as anti-derivative
You are very familiar with taking the derivative of a function. Now we are going to go the other way around--if I give you a derivative of a function, can you come up with a possible original function. In other words, we'll be taking the anti-derivative!
Riemann sums and definite integration
In this tutorial, we'll think about how we can find the area under a curve. We'll first approximate this with rectangles (and trapezoids)--generally called Riemann sums. We'll then think about find the exact area by having the number of rectangles approach infinity (they'll have infinitesimal widths) which we'll use the definite integral to denote.
Integration by parts
When we wanted to take the derivative of f(x)g(x) in differential calculus, we used the product rule. In this tutorial, we use the product rule to derive a powerful way to take the anti-derivative of a class of functions--integration by parts.
U-substitution is a must-have tool for any integrating arsenal (tools aren't normally put in arsenals, but that sounds better than toolkit). It is essentially the reverise chain rule. U-substitution is very useful for any integral where an expression is of the form g(f(x))f'(x)(and a few other cases). Over time, you'll be able to do these in your head without necessarily even explicitly substituting.
Why the letter "u"? Well, it could have been anything, but this is the convention. I guess why not the letter "u" :)
Definite integrals
Until now, we have been viewing integrals as anti-derivatives. Now we explore them as the area under a curve between two boundaries (we will now construct definite integrals by defining the boundaries). This is the real meat of integral calculus!
- Riemann sums and integrals
- Intuition for second fundamental theorem of calculus
- Evaluating simple definite integral
- Definite integrals and negative area
- Area between curves
- Area between curves with multiple boundaries
- Challenging definite integration
- Introduction to definite integrals
- Definite integrals (part 2)
- Definite integrals (area under a curve) (part 3)
- Definite integrals (part 4)
- Definite integrals (part 5)
- Definite integral with substitution
Trigonometric substitution
We will now do another substitution technique (the other was u-substitution) where we substitute variables with trig functions. This allows us to leverage some trigonometric identities to simplify the expression into one that it is easier to take the anti-derivative of.
Fundamental theorem of calculus
You get the general idea that taking a definite integral of a function is related to evaluating the antiderivative, but where did this connection come from. This tutorial focuses on the fundamental theorem of calculus which ties the ideas of integration and differentiation together. We'll explain what it is, give a proof and then show examples of taking derivatives of integrals where the Fundamental Theorem is directly applicable.
Improper integrals
Not everything (or everyone) should or could be proper all the time. Same is true for definite integrals. In this tutorial, we'll look at improper integrals--ones where one or both bounds are at infinity! Mind blowing!

He shows me the way
A boy in a dog suit
On a scent
His marble-sized eyes
Soft brown nougats
Warm Black Crow centers
Anchored in opposing tear drops
At rest
Lying sideways
Between the weight of the world
And a profound sense of loss
He has seen it all
And regrets most of it
Eyes rimmed as if with kohl
It's a look, a look that cannot be denied
You want to give him everything
You will give him anything,
I need to point out some contradictions that exist on the Island regarding dogs. A letter to the editor on July 19 about dogs on the beach generalized dog owners as "idiots" and "irresponsible." This I take issue with as I would never act in the way the Walkers describe their beach and dog situation. Right underneath this exhortation is a sensitive story written by Peter Robb about his love for his dog, Lucca, and the kind loving act of adopting dogs. Quite a contrast.
Editors' note: The following essay written by longtime Oak Bluffs columnist Dorothy West first appeared in the Vineyard Gazette on August 9, 1985.
By DOROTHY WEST
Beachgoers whisking their dogs onto Joseph Sylvia State Beach for a quick spin hoping no one notices may want to think twice this summer — the Dukes County commissioners are calling for a volunteer-based patrol program to help enforce the no-dogs policy.
She's the talk of the Island. They're musing about her in the coffee line at Alley's and she is the subject of after-class rumblings at the Yoga Barn. Passengers discuss her on the ferry. Your sister heard about her at a bar — in Brooklyn. Lately it is hard to find someone who is not involved, at least conversationally, in the search for Olive, the missing black Lab.
There's a special town meeting coming up for West Tisbury, on Tuesday June 5. It seems to be generating some confusion about the dog situation on Lambert's Cove Beach. It would be great if no time were wasted at the town meeting clearing up the confusion, so I would like to politely offer clarity on three particular points here.
The long-running debate over dogs on Lambert's Cove Beach isn't over yet.
West Tisbury voters, who agreed three weeks ago at their annual town meeting to let residents walk their dogs on the beach on summer mornings, are being asked back to a special town meeting on June 5 to decide whether they want to pay to enforce good behavior by owners and their pets. The warrant is expected to ask voters to back funding for a seasonal assistant animal control officer to patrol the beach, as well as to consider bylaw changes addressing leashes and litter.
Tisbury selectmen were called on last week to mediate a barking dog dispute.
Since last spring Nick Mosey claims he has had to withstand relentless barking from a group of five Shetland sheepdogs on an abutting property on West Spring street. But Mr. Mosey told the selectmen his formative upbringing in postwar London prevented him from contacting the town earlier about the problem.

History of Anna-Jonesboro National Bank
The First National Bank of Jonesboro
The oldest bank in all of Union County, The Bank of Jonesboro was started in May of 1893, in a small, rented building in what was then known as the town of Jonesboro Station. The bank was founded by Mr. David C. Karraker, Dr. W.C. Lence, and Mr. Pleasant T. Chapman, with Mr. John B. Jackson coming on as a partner in 1896. As the bank quickly grew, they began construction on a new building, moving there upon its completion in 1895.
In 1923 the bank changed its name to The First National Bank of Jonesboro, and moved into a new building in downtown Jonesboro two years later. The new location, centered on the town square in the heart of the business district, is still used to this day.
The bank grew steadily for the next several decades and in 1991, the Board of Directors organized the Jonesboro Bancompany as a holding company. They operated The First National Bank of Jonesboro as a subsidiary of this holding co. for the next 16 years.
In 1999, construction was completed on a state-of-the-art building a few miles west of downtown Anna, which would serve as the bank's second location.
The Anna National Bank
The city of Anna was founded in 1854, primarily as a train station for the new Illinois Central Railroad. Nearly 50 years after that, in 1900, The Bank of Anna was started in a small store room in the middle of the town. The bank was started as a partnership between Mr. David W. Karraker, Mr. John B. Jackson, Dr. William C. Lence, and Mr. Pleasant T. Chapman.
In 1911, The Bank of Anna moved into a building of its own which was formerly owned by Mr. Caleb M. Miller. The building was used as an opera house, but it was purchased from Mr. Miller's estate upon his death in 1911. Along with a new location also came a new name, as The Bank of Anna became The Anna National Bank.
In the late 1960's, The Anna National Bank opened its second branch just west of town, to serve as a convenient drive-through location. The old opera house was home to the bank for nearly 80 years, until its current-day location on Main St. in downtown Anna, was constructed in the fall of 1990.
In May of 2007, The Anna National Bank and The First National Bank of Jonesboro merged together to become the Anna-Jonesboro National Bank. It seemed almost natural that two of the most historic businesses in Southern Illinois should come together to serve the banking needs of the Union County area. Formerly of The Anna National Bank, Mr. David Gould serves as our President, with the Board of Directors composed of business and community leaders from around our area.

Julius Lothar Meyer
This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (September 2013) |
Julius Lothar von Meyer | |
Julius Lothar von Meyer
Born | August 19, 1830 Varel |
Died | April 11, 1895 (aged 65) Tübingen |
Fields | Chemistry |
Institutions | University of Tübingen |
Known for | Periodic table of chemical elements |
Influences | Robert Bunsen |
Julius Lothar von Meyer (August 19, 1830 – April 11, 1895) was a German chemist. He was contemporary and competitor of Dimitri Mendeleev to draw up the first periodic table of chemical elements. Some five years apart, both Mendeleev and Meyer worked with Robert Bunsen.
He was born in varel, at that time belonging to the Duchy of Oldenburg, now part of Germany. He is the son of Friedrich August Meyer, a physician, and Anna Biermann. After attending to Altes Gymnasium Oldenburg AGO high school he went to study medicine first at Zürich University in 1851. Then, two years later, he studied at the University of Würzburg. This was where he had Rudolf Virchow as his teacher in pathology. The influence of C. F. W. Ludwig, under whom he studied at Zürich, decided him to devote his attention to physiological chemistry. Therefore, after his graduation (1854), he went to Heidelberg, where R. Bunsen held the chair of chemistry. There he was so influenced by G. R. Kirchhoff's mathematical teaching that he took up the study of mathematical physics at Königsberg under F. E. Neumann. In 1859, he became privat-docent in physics and chemistry at Breslau. In the preceding year, he had graduated as Ph.D. with a thesis on the action of carbon monoxide on the blood.[1] In 1866 he accepted a post at the Eberswalde Forestry Academy at Neustadt-Eberswalde, but soon moved to Carlsruhe Polytechnic.[2] He married Johanna Volkmann on August 16, 1866.[citation needed]
Meyer's contributions also included the concept that the carbon atoms in benzene were arranged in a ring, although he did not propose the alternation of single and double bonds that later became included in the structure by August Kekulé.
During the Franco-German campaign, the Polytechnic was used as a hospital, and he took an active part in the care of the wounded. In 1876, Meyer became the first Professor of Chemistry at the University of Tübingen, where he served until his death.[2]
Periodic table[edit]
Meyer is best known for the share he had in the periodic classification of the elements. He noted, as did J. A. R. Newlands in England, that if they are arranged in the order of their atomic weights they fall into groups in which similar chemical and physical properties are repeated at periodic intervals; and in particular he showed that if the atomic weights are plotted as ordinates and the atomic volumes as abscissae, the curve obtained presents a series of maxima and minima, the most electro-positive elements appearing at the peaks of the curve in the order of their atomic weights.[2]
His book on Die modernen Theorien der Chemie, which was first published in Breslau in 1862 (The Internet Database of Periodic Tables. Hemogenesis web book) and 1864, has an early version of the periodic table containing 28 elements classified into six families by their valence — the first time that elements had been grouped and ordered according to their valence. Work on organizing the elements by atomic weight had hitherto been stymied by inaccurate measurements of the atomic weights.
Julius Lothar Meyer was the first to build the periodic table of elements. There are obtained evidence of the priority of a German doctor, a chemist and physicist Julius Lothar von Meyer in the development of the Periodic Table. He has published articles on his classification table of the elements in a horizontal form (1862, 1864) and vertical form (1870), where the series of periods are properly terminated by an element of the earth metal group (Makeyev A.K. Julius Lothar Meyer was first which built the periodic table of elements. // Eropean applied sciences, April, 2013, 4 (2) - pp. 49–61).
Mendeleev published his periodic table of all known elements (and predicted several new elements to complete the table, plus some corrected atomic weights) in 1869. Working completely independently, a few months later, Meyer published a revised and expanded version of his 1864 table, virtually identical to that published by Mendeleev (Meyer had been sent a copy of Mendeleev's table earlier, Mendeleev sent it to all well known chemists of those times) and a paper showing graphically the periodicity of the elements as a function of atomic weight. As well as other chemists, Meyer was doubtful about Mendeleev's periodic law, and he criticized Mendeleev for 'changing existing elements' atomic weights, only regarding possibility of periodical law in its structure', but Mendeleev's work provided significant support, particularly when the new elements were found as predicted and remeasured atomic weights accorded with those predicted.
In 1882, Meyer received from the Royal Society, at the same time as Mendeleev, the Davy Medal in recognition of his work on the Periodic Law.

Prevention of virus transmission to macaque monkeys by a vaginally applied monoclonal antibody to HIV-1 gp120 (HTML)
Veazey,Ronald S.; Shattock,Robin J.; Pope,Melissa; Kirijan,J.Christian; Jones,Jennifer; Hu,Qinxue; Ketas,Thomas J.; Marx,Preston A.; Klasse,Per Johan; Burton,Dennis R.; Moore,John P.
Nature Medicine 9(3): 343-346
Publication date: 2003
A topical microbicide reduces the probability of virus transmission when applied to the vagina or rectum of a person at risk of sexually acquiring HIV-1 infection. An effective microbicide could significantly reduce the global spread of HIV-1, particularly if women were able to use it covertly to protect themselves. A microbicide could target the incoming virus and either permanently inactivate it or reduce its infectivity, or it could block receptors on susceptible cells near the sites of transmission. We describe here how vaginal administration of the broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibody b12 can protect macaques from simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) infection through the vagina. Only 3 of 12 animals receiving 5 mg b12 vaginally in either saline or a gel and then challenged vaginally (up to 2 h later) with SHIV-162P4 became infected. In contrast, infection occurred in 12 of 13 animals given various control agents under similar conditions. Lower amounts of b12 were less effective, suggesting that protection was dose dependent. These observations support the concept that viral entry inhibitors can help prevent the sexual transmission of HIV-1 to humans.

Some states have an official "Walleye Opener." It's circled on calendars in kitchen after kitchen. In equally as many states, though, "Opener" describes the second that the ice vanishes. Either way, I believe the ties to the tradition of the "Opener" are too strong.
Let me explain in an anecdote. Three generations of the Doe family get together on that hallowed weekend and cross their collective fingers that the walleyes will bite. No matter the weather. No matter what experts say about the lake. Nothing matters. They fish the same lake every year.
Not that the relatives shouldn't get together and fish. But unless your lake oozes with spring walleyes, you're better off leaving the comfort of the cabin, putting the boat on the trailer and driving to a bite.
That's not meant to be harsh; It's factual. And here are some tips for picking the right pond and putting a bend in your rod.
Flat As A Pancake And Colored Like Syrup
Our education as fishermen tells us that walleyes are fish of clear water and deep structure. That's only partially true. Yes, walleyes thrive in crisp, clean northern lakes. But likewise, they can flourish in bowl-shaped lakes with more weeds than rocks, and water colored like beef-bullion. In fact, they often grow faster and are more plentiful in the soupier stuff.
The point is that if your family cabin rests on a cold, clear lake, consider nearby options.
The flatter and shallower the area, the faster the water warms – fact. Nothing speeds up post-spawn recovery like daytime heat. Walleyes get in gear faster, especially the males. They'll form six, eight and 10 member packs and work the flat. Simultaneously, the warming shallows load up with baitfish. The combination is lethal.
Big Pieces Of The Same Thing
A long expansive flat looks totally boring on a map. "No structure, no fish," one might say. My guiding buddy Brian "Bro" Brosdahl sees things differently.
"I look for the least contours on a lake map," says the Frabill fishing pro. "Having structure nearby is a bonus, but not a prerequisite."
Bro really likes large flats on the warmer, north end of the lake, where cold spring winds are fought back and the sun strikes the longest. Build in some walleye spawning structure and the campers will be even happier.
"Can't beat the pea gravel to golf ball-sized rocks," says Bro. "Perfect spawning habitat. And a great place to rest and feed after breeding."
Scattered rock is welcome as well. Essentially, you're looking for fat shoreline flats with hard and irregular bottoms; gravel here, sand there, rocks in between. Even though fish are working mostly flat surfaces, instinct still guides them toward available structure and edges.
Certain shoreline points also fall into this category. Not the sharp-tipped point with cascading sides; maybe later this summer, but not now. You want a point that's more of a swollen section of the bottom. Compare your thumb to a kids' pinky finger. You want the point to look like your thumb, flatter and wider.
Bro further qualifies the perfect point. "My favorites will open into the main lake from a bay. Again, bigger, longer and flatter points are best. It's typical for the attached bay to contain darker, warmer and shallower water. The bay's water conditions mix with the main lake, creating improved conditions for spring walleyes."
Super stealthy spot: There's a phenomenon that occurs on large, sandy lakes. Wave after wave crashing against a shoreline can dig out a little trench. The back-churning water actually relocates the sand. The change in depth doesn't need to be dramatic, either. I've found walleyes in a six-foot deep trough with four-foot edges.
The Soft Sell
Remember, these fish are just coming off the spawn. Their attitudes are down in the dumps; probably not moving around much, either. (Note that their moods can flip like a light switch. Suddenly they'll go nuts, usually following a string of warm weather days.)
Generally speaking, early spring walleyes won't climb over each other to grab a lure. And force feeding isn't an option. As a result, I throw an old-standby – the jig and minnow – but deliver it in a slow and seductive manner.
Go as light as possible. Depending on wind and depth, that means nothing over 1/8th ounce. 1/16th ounces are preferred. And even though it's called a jig, don't jig it. Drag it. Think about how you Texas-rig for bass. Pulls and tiny lifts, no jerking.
The Fire-Ball Jig from Northland Tackle is ideal for dragging. Its short-shank makes quick business of short strikes. The minnow's lips sit right against the base of the jig head. It doesn't take much for a walleye to find the hook.
You can pitch it or drift it. With a little wind I like drifting, stopping and starting with the Minn-Kota, keeping it slow and steady. In flat calm conditions, troll around and fan-cast, but still retrieve slowly. Anchoring and dragging is an option, too, especially if it's really rough or fish are concentrated in an area.
The motion of the drag puts a light load on your rod tip; it feels like you snagged a bread bag. The smooch of a sluggish walleye simply increases that load. Give it some time, even up to 10 seconds – walleyes have no trouble carrying a light jig. If the line twitches or the fish makes a turn, set.
I'm not trying to ruin your family tradition. But I would like to see you catch more fish. Check some maps. Ask around. Remember, your cabin doesn't have feelings.
For three decades author Tom Neustrom has shared his fishing insights with readers, guide clients and seminar attendees. A recent inductee into the National Freshwater Hall of Fame, Neustrom promotes and develops product for Northland Fishing Tackle.
NAFC staff and members have caught some big walleyes over the years—some even on video—but this trophy walleye video courtesy of PK Lures—takes top honors. The quantity and quality of fish caught during this segment is astounding. You've got to see it for yourself!
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
In many states, walleyes are protected by closed fishing seasons during the spawn, though border waters between states often remain open. Make sure you know the regulations where you fish, and if you do have the opportunity to target early-season 'eyes, this map will help you zero in on them.
Puzzled, I put my rod down, took a drink of water, and started up the motor to head to another flat. Then it hit me: tight-lipped fish often require ultra-finesse presentations. Why not drop-shot?

After the first year of Green Globe certification of hotels in UAE, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, analysis of energy and water consumption reveals the reduction of 11,765 tons of CO2e and savings of 129,346 m3 of potable water in the last 12 months.
Green Globe Certification CEO Mr. Guido Bauer said: "This is absolute proof that certification by Green Globe leads to great outcomes for the environment, as well as utility savings for hotels and resorts.
"These reductions are equivalent to saving one Olympic pool of water per week, each week for a year. The GHG saved by Mövenpick hotels is the same as the emissions of 5 non-stop, round-trip flights from Dubai to London."
Green Globe Certification has been contracted by Mövenpick to certify all their hotels and resorts worldwide. The certification process covers all sustainability criteria including the key environmental indicators of energy and water.
Green Globe Certification's preferred partner in the Middle East, Farnek Avireal, provides third-party verification of the sustainability achievements of Green Globe members, including Mövenpick properties. Avireal's online environmental monitoring system, Hotel Optimizer, has tracked the improved performance of the hotels throughout this first year of certification.
Mövenpick Hotels&Resorts, Vice President of Operations in the Middle East and India, Mr. Gerard Hotelier, said: "The energy savings we have achieved in the last 12 months are equal to powering a 200-room hotel for one-and-half years.
"The total savings on utilities in this period are AED 2.5 million, which is almost US$700,000, and this represents a 4 percent savings in water and electricity costs, while at the same time we have seen a 8.3 percent increase in occupancy across the properties."
Green Globe Certification and its preferred partner, Farnek Avireal, will continue to monitor the reduction of environmental impacts across the Mövenpick properties in the Middle East along with all Green Globe members in this region.
On this video, Gerard Hotelier further explains the strategy for Green Globe certification of Mövenpick Hotels&Resorts in the Middle East: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJGs76OfaBU .
Mövenpick Hotels&Resorts, an international upscale hotel management company with over 16,000 staff members, is represented in 24 countries with 71 hotels and resorts currently in operation. More than 30 properties are planned or already under construction, including this year's openings in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Soma Bay (Egypt), Ankara (Turkey), Chiang Mai and Koh Samui (Thailand), Palawan (Philippines), Dubai (UAE), and Paris (France).
Focusing on expansion in its core markets of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, Mövenpick Hotels&Resorts specializes in business and conference hotels, as well as holiday resorts, all reflecting a sense of place and respect for their local communities. Of Swiss heritage and headquartered in Zurich, Mövenpick Hotels&Resorts is passionate about delivering premium service, culinary enjoyment, and sustainable environments – all with a personal touch.
The hotel company is owned by the Mövenpick Holding (66.7 percent) and the Kingdom Group (33.3 percent). For more information, please visit www.moevenpick-hotels.com .
Farnek Avireal is one of the region's foremost property and facilities management outsource companies. With a skilled workforce of more than 1,500 people, Farnek Avireal has offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and maintains over 1,000 properties alone on behalf of many international and regional companies. For more information, visit www.farnek.com .
Green Globe Certification is the worldwide sustainability system based on internationally-accepted criteria for sustainable operation and management of travel and tourism businesses.

Well structured with integrated tannins and a silky smooth finish touched with luscious vanilla.
The grapes for the Generations Cabernet Sauvignon come from our estate vineyards in Rutherford and St. Helena as well as select nearby growers in St. Helena, Rutherford and Oakville. All vineyard locations are on the valley floor with gravelly alluvial fan soils, ideal for growing high quality Cabernet Sauvignon. By blending grapes from all three appellations, we are able to make a wine that represents the best of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 growing season was marked by mild spring and summer weather extending ripening periods by several weeks. The grapes for Generations were hand picked and sorted the first two weeks of October.
Food Pairing: This wine pairs amazingly with a juicy filet mignon or rib eye with sautéed mushrooms, grey sea salt crusted prime rib, roast duck breast with figs, braised beef short ribs, rack of lamb, wild game or Coq Au Vin.
Cellaring Potential: Generations Cabernet is delicious at release with the potential to age 15-20 years past the vintage date.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a light golden amber with a massive fine white head with good retention and pillowy lacing. Nice aroma of wheat, Belgian yeast, clove and light lemon. Flavor is sweet bready malt, Belgian yeast, light fruit, cloves, and just a bare hint of wild yeast. Mildly bitter light fruit finish. Light to medium bodied with nice carbonation. I hadn't thought about how much I'd like a melding of saison style with a Belgian pale, but this is how this tastes and I'm really happy. Sweeter and maltier than many saisons, but very nicely done. This will be a regular for me.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Served in an Allagash fluted glass. (should have poured into a smaller glass. Looks like I cheated myself)
Pours a lightly hazed golden color with a foamy and sudsy white head, along with some patchy and sliding lace.
The first smell reminds me of an evening rain in a dry desert, followed by damp basement. Dry malt, hop flowers, yeast, and a light lemon zest, hint of gin, and whiff of clove all come into play.
The flavors mirror the smells pretty much. A taste of green apples slide forward in the finish.
This is one dry beer. The mouthfeel is slightly raspy at first, but the malt body rolls in late to create a more liquid, gulpable and agreeable swallow.
Nice Saison, but there are local New England varieties of the style that do the trick at less $$.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
From the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle stamped 12:58-K31612. Sampled on November 8, 2013.
The pour is a hazy pale yellow with a short-lived fizzy white head that fades to a ring around the tulip glass.
Aromas run the gamut of Belgian pale malts, apple and other light fruits, pepper and coriander spices, lemon zest, and earthy hops.
Medium body.
The taste begins with most of the elements IO picked up on the nose with the exception of a lingering, biting bitterness that pulls up the rear. Generally mellow and easy to drink.

Golden color with a full three finger thick head with great retention.
Sweet aroma with notes of Cointreau, pineapple, Belgian yeast and pine.
Sweet flavor of oranges, booze, hay malt, lemon jelly, flowers, condiments and oats. A very mild funkiness with dry aftertaste.
Medium body with low carbonation with tiny bubbles. Although it is just 6% abv, alcohol is definitely felt but pleasant.
An interesting Saison, although it has some nice complexity, it is very easy to drink.

In short, the future pharmacists who call the Abilene campus home receive a comprehensive and practical education that encompasses a broad range of contemporary health issues and prepares them for careers in all areas of today's pharmacy profession.
The collaboration between Abilene City officials, community leaders and the TTUHSC School of Pharmacy has created an innovative economic and academic development model for the future of pharmacy education.
Affiliations with Hendrick Medical Center, the Abilene Regional Medical Center and the more than 50 community pharmacies located in the Abilene area provides students with numerous sites for rural practice training. The addition of TTUHSC-SOP to the Abilene landscape also adds to the impact TTUHSC-SOP is making in addressing the shortage of pharmacists that exists in many areas of Texas.
The SOP's Department of Pharmacy Practice in Abilene consists of practitioners who are directly involved with patient care in the areas of adult medicine, community care, geriatrics and primary care. The continuing efforts of the dedicated faculty, staff and students at the SOP's Abilene campus will only enhance TTUHSC's national reputation in addressing the complex and multifaceted health issues associated with clinical pharmacy and research.
