Important Qualities Required For Dental Assistants
Detail Oriented:
Dentist Jefferson City describes A dental assistant's work requires them to follow certain protocols and rules like procedures to be followed in order to control infections especially when they are helping the dentist treating patients. They need to be aware of what they need to do and follow it to the last detail as this is very key in dentistry, sterilization of work instruments and equipment.
This is the skill of performing tasks with the hands specifically. Dental assistants are required to be very good especially at working using their hands. Their work deals with them to make sure that they use the precise instruments and tools which they are required to.
Interpersonal Skills:
Dental assistants work one on one thus very closely with the patients that both call the dental clinic or simply walk in to seek help. They also work closely with the dentists whom they offer assistance to. At times, patients come into the dental facility when they are excruciating pain thus are very edgy and at times are very loud and hard to handle. Other cases may have patients coming in when they are in extreme mental stress thus also very hard for them to talk to and may be very irritable. It is thus very important for the dental assistant to be sensitive to the emotions of such patients and handle them much slower and not react to any kind of anger from them as it may be due to the pain that are in so they instead need to aim at making them feel much better as soon as possible.
Listening Skills:
At all times, the dental assistants relate personally with the patients so they should be able to be keen listeners so that they can understand the patients' need much more clearly. Dental assistants are required to be able to listen very clearly to all the patients and also to other fellow workers and the dentist too which will make things work much more easier. They need to be able to follow all the directions that they are given by the dentist or by the dental hygienist. This will make them much more efficient in doing their works such as in taking the x-rays as they are required.
Good Organizational Skills:
The dental assistants are required to have exceptional organizational skills. This is simply because the dental assistants are the ones who prepare the dentists' room before any dental procedure such as surgery or any other like tooth removal or fillings. The dental assistant needs to arrange all the correct tools which are required by a dental hygienist or a dentist to use when treating a patient.

CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V., through its subsidiaries, engages in the production, distribution, marketing and sale of cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, clinker and other construction materials worldwide. The company also provides construction-related services to customers and communities in approximately 50 countries worldwide. It has operations in Mexico, the United States, Europe, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Products The company tailors its products and services to suit customers' specific needs, from home construction, improvement and renovation to agricultural, industrial and marine/hydraulic applications. Cement: The company manufactures cement through a closely controlled chemical process, which begins with the mining and crushing of limestone and clay, and in some instances, other raw materials. The clay and limestone are then pre-homogenized, a process which consists of combining different types of clay and limestone. The mix is typically dried, then fed into a grinder which grinds the various materials in preparation for the kiln. For cement limestone, clay and gypsum, the company runs chemical tests to prepare the mining plan of the quarry, to confirm material quality and reduce variations in the mineral content. As of December 31, 2015, 55 of the company's 56 operative production plants used the dry process and 1 used the wet process. Types of Cement Gray Ordinary Portland Cement: The company's gray ordinary Portland cement primarily comprises clinker, that meets applicable chemical and physical requirements and is used in various construction segments, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure. White Portland Cement: The company manufactures white Portland cement with limestone, low iron content kaolin clay, and gypsum. Customers use its white Portland cement in architectural works requiring brightness and artistic finishes, to create mosaics and artificial granite, and for sculptural casts and other applications where white prevails. Masonry or Mortar: Masonry or mortar is a Portland cement that the company mixes with finely ground inert matter (limestone). Its customers use this type of cement for multiple purposes, including concrete blocks, templates, road surfaces, finishes, and brick work. Oil-Well Cement: The company's oil-well cement is a specially designed variety of hydraulic cement produced with gray Portland clinker. It usually forges slowly and is manageable at high temperatures and pressures. Produced in classes from A to H and J, its oil-well cement is applicable for different depth, chemical aggression, or pressure levels. Blended Cement: Blended hydraulic cements are produced by inter-grinding or blending portland cement and supplementary cementitious materials, such as ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, silica fume, calcined clay, hydrated lime, and other pozzolans. It offers an array of blended cements, which have a lower CO2 footprint resulting from their lower clinker content due to the addition of supplementary cementitious materials. Ready-Mix Concrete The company tailors its ready-mix concrete to fit its clients' specific needs. It also uses additives to customize its concrete consistent with the transportation time from its plant to the project, weather conditions at the construction site, and the project's specifications. The company offers a special ready-mix concrete portfolio comprised of products, such as ultra-rapid hardening concrete, crack-resistant/low shrinkage concrete, self-consolidating concrete, architectural concrete, pervious concrete, and various others. The types of ready-mix concrete the company offers to its clients include standard ready-mix concrete, architectural and decorative concrete, rapid-setting concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, fluid-fill concrete, roller-compacted concrete, self-consolidating concrete, pervious concrete, and antibacterial concrete. Aggregates The company supplies aggregates, primarily the crushed stone, sand and gravel, used in all forms of construction. Its customers use its aggregates for various app

NorthWestern Energy Corp. has agreed to purchase Devon Energy Co.'s natural gas production interests in the Bear Paw Basin.
A NorthWestern spokesman said the purchase is part of the company effort to create "vertical integration," meaning the company will both produce and transmit natural gas.
The purchase includes Devon's 82 percent ownership in Havre Pipeline Co ., the company announced Tuesday.
Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning listed the sale price as $70.2 million.
NorthWestern spokesman Butch Larcombe said 48 employees are affected by the sale. No decision has been made on how many will join NorthWestern, stay with Devon, an Oklahoma City-based operation, or move on, he said.
By owning its own production facilities, company officials said, they can better protect customers from the swings in natural gas prices.
"We're pleased to add another natural gas asset to our mix of resources that serve Montana customers for many years to come," said CEO Bob Rowe. "We believe this purchase adds value, reliability of supply and future long-term rate stability for our customers. In addition, the purchase of the majority interest in the Havre transmission pipeline will provide access to additional sources of natural gas necessary to meet future needs."
Larcombe said when gas prices are lower, as they are now, it is easier for the company to purchase gas production facilities.
Vertical integration is the kind of system that was used by NorthWestern's predecessor company, Montana Power Co ., he said.
While there is no indication that gas prices will soon rise, owning its own facilities "seems like the much better course of action for the company and our customers," he said.
NorthWestern proposes to acquire an interest in approximately 916 producing wells and connected gathering systems with more than 82 miles of transmission lines, 576 miles of gathering lines, 21 compressors in Blaine, Choteau and Hill counties, Larcombe said.
This purchase will provide NorthWestern with about 28 percent of its gas load in Montana, he said.
In September, NorthWestern Energy purchased production interests in the Bear Paw Mountains from NFR Energy for $19.5 million.
That purchase included approximately 600 producing wells and two connected gathering systems with more than 400 miles of pipelines in Blaine, Chouteau, Fergus and Hill counties.
• The news: NorthWestern Energy, which served most of Montana and parts of South Dakota and Nebraska, purchased Devon Energy assets in north-central Montana.
• The sale price: According to Securities and Exchange documents: $70.2 million
• The reason: To increase NorthWestern's vertical integration, meaning they produce and distribute natural gas.
• The employees: 48 workers are affected. it isn't known how many will join NorthWestern and how many will stay with Devon.
makes it sound like no one will be unemployed or underemployed from this

Guerlain Girly Rouge G Lipstick ($47.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "pink." There is more fancy marketing-speak than color description in the press release. It's pink–oh, yeah–it's a vibrant, nearly glowing, pink-red. It has more of a cream finish with opaque color coverage and a glossy shine. It is redder than Guerlain Champs-Elysees but darker than OCC Queen. It's a touch darker compared to Estee Lauder Wild Violet, which also has shimmer.Read Full Review

Bt brinjal varieties planted all over
the country die from disease prematurely or fail to fruit, and fail to protect
against target pest; a moratorium must now be imposed as a matter of utmost
urgency to prevent the spread of new disease to indigenous varietiesDr Mae-Wan Ho
Genetically modified (GM) Bt brinjal was
introduced to Bangladesh and rapidly approved for commercial growing despite
widespread protest. Brinjal (eggplant or aubergine) is one of Bangladesh's most
important crops both for home consumption and export, making the cultivation of
Bt brinjal a huge environmental, health and economic risk. More seriously, the
region is a centre of origin and genetic diversity for brinjal, and should be
protected from genetic contamination according to the UN Cartagena Protocol on
Biosafety. India had imposed a moratorium on its cultivation after fierce
opposition from civil society groups, top scientists, state governments, as
well as citizens and environmental organizations. The cultivation in Bangladesh
has drawn similar controversy, with 100 civil society organisations writing to
the country's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in protest (see [1] Don't Grow Bt Brinjal,
SiS 61). A pilot scheme for commercial cultivation was introduced in
2014, and brought disastrous results, with at least 9 out of 20 farmers reporting
crop failures ([2] Bangladeshi
Bt Brinjal Pilot Scheme Failed, SiS 63).
Bt brinjal strains were
distributed to Bangladeshi farmers and grown again in 2015; and the crops
failed yet again, even more dismally, according to the United News of
Bangladesh, which sent a reporter to investigate [3]. He found that the plants have either "died out prematurely or
fruited very insignificantly compared to local varieties". Spot visits to 12
brinjal fields in the districts of Manikganj, Narsingdi
and Comilla over the month February to March 2015 found hardly any living or
properly fruiting plants.
The strains BARI Bt Brinjal 2
(Bt-Nayantara) and BARI Bt Brinjal 3 (Bt-Kajla) were cultivated by four farmers
at Pouli village in Manikganj Sadar under the supervision of Bangladesh
Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). The fields belonging to Afzal Hossain
and Md Mannaf were half-barren.
"We've removed most of the
plants after those had died about 15 days ago. The officials [BARI officials]
told us to do so to prevent the spread of the disease. Despite that the rest of
the plants are dying out in numbers every day," said Mannaf's wife Lovely
In two other fields
cultivated by the brothers Boltu Miah and Abul Hossain in the same village,
only a few plants have died so far, but the fruiting of the plants is nowhere
near satisfactory, said Lal Chand, father of the two brothers.
The same two Bt brinjal
varieties were also cultivated by three farmers at Dhanua village in Shibpur
upazila of Naringdi. All ended in misery.
Md Abul Hayat, a
respected and successful local farmer, said, "Most of the saplings (of Bt brinjal)
have died. The plants are prone to diseases. The officials said it's due to
bacterial attack and prompted by irrigation and soil-type."
"If irrigation and
soil-type had been a problem, why the local brinjal plants on my other field
had not been affected?" he asked pointing to a brinjal field next to his Bt brinjal
Only a month ago,
most of the plants in Hayat's Bt brinjal field were looking good. The officials
came and took photos and videos of the plants at the time, Hayat noted. The Bt
brinjal field of Md Almgir in neighbouring Baghab village in the upazila was
more pathetic. Many of the saplings had died at an earlier stage, one month
into planting. The officials replaced the dead plants with fresh ones, but
those have died too, Hayat said.
Harun Mirza, Dilip
Kumar Das and Mohammad Ali of Burichong upazila (administrative division below
distrcit) in Comilla planted BARI Bt Brinjal 1 (Bt-Uttara) and BARI Bt Brinjal
4 (Bt-ISD 006) on about 18-20 decimal plots. All three claimed that around
150-200 of the 500-700 saplings provided to them died within one month of
planting. The fresh plants that replaced the dead ones failed to survive, and
most of the rest are also dying out.
Mohammad Ali of
Nimsar village in the upazila showed several plants of BARI Bt Brinjal 4 that
were affected by brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB) insects. 'We were told
that these brinjal varieties are resistant to Phol of Doga Chidrokari Poka
(BFSB), but the plants on my field have come under its attack,' he said.
Farmers in
Sherpur, Mymensingh, Rangpur, Dinajpur, Rajshahi, Pabna, Jessore, Gazipur and
Tangail districts shared similar experiences with the United News of
Bangladesh (UNB) correspondent when contacted over phone. At least
25-150 of the Bt Brinjal plants died on each of the Bt Brinjal fields in these
districts. The dead plants also include some of BARI Bt Brinjal 5 variety that
was cultivated in Dinajpur.
Md Haminur Rahman
and Md Mobarak Hossain of Sherpur Sadar upazila said they have harvested 8-10
maunds (1 maund ≈ 80 lb) of Bt brinjal three months since the planting,
less than half the amount that could be harvested from a local brinjal field of
the same size in the same time frame.
Ramzan Ali of
Jhikargachha upazila in Jessore said most of the Bt Brinjal plants in his field
had died.
When asked about the Bt brinjal plants
dying in all the districts mentioned, BARI director general Rafiqul Islam
Mondol replied, "We didn't claim that the Bt brinjal plants will not be
affected by diseases. Our claim was that Bt brinjal is resistant to BFSB." When
asked about the BFSB infestation in at least one Bt brinjal field in Comilla,
he said, "I don't have any such information. One or two non-Bt plants can be
mistakenly grouped with the Bt plants in that field."
It appears that a culture of
denial has taken over the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute. There is
no indication that that they are investigating the new 'disease' that has
struck the Bt brinjal fields. There is a distinct danger that the disease could
spread to local brinjal varieties, which would be catastrophic for this centre
of origin and biodiversity. A moratorium on
commercial planting must now be imposed as a matter of utmost urgency.

Since 2008 financial crisis gross domestic product in the US is below 2%. The extended period of time when productivity is below average is called depression. Damages did by the global recession of 2008 still hold a grip on the economy. There were high hopes associated with monetary policies introduced by the central banks. The program of buying financial assets from market participants was supposed to revive the economy. The cash that people receive for their treasuries is reinvested in equities. There is a very clear correlation between quantitative easing program and behavior of stock indices. Eventually, almost nothing trickles into the physical plane. All the money pumped by central banks stays on the financial plane. Similarly, low-interest rates were supposed to stimulate growth. However theses policies turned out to be ineffective. Central banks can't increase interest rate because that would increase the cost of financing and put the additional burden on companies and household. They can't lower the interest rates because we are now at zero. The negative interest rates stimulate saving and diminish spending and thus decrease growth. People are rationally expecting that they will have smaller returns on investments and they decide that they should stash away more of their income. The interest rates have been steadily declining since the early eighties. And this period was the time of unprecedented economic growth. Today, the role of interest rates a tool stimulating growth has ended. All major economic blocks are converging in the same spot. Japan is leading with its lost decades and permanent deflation. Ray Dalio the man behind Bridgewater hedge fund predicts that soon the third monetary policy will be implemented by central bankers. Policy number three consists in giving money directly to the consumers, people who will have no problem spending it for the physical goods. Helicopter money, according to Dalio, can range from financing government deficit by central banks to wiring money to individual citizens.
V Room Journal recommends watching Ray Dalio's video explaining the mechanism of the global economy.

The Arckaringas (or Painted Desert)
Head west from Oodna for about 70km and you will come to The Arckaringas, or Painted Desert (you will hear both names used, you also will hear this described as 'the Breakaway Country'). It doesn't feature in most tourist itineraries, but surely would if it were better known. Mt Battersby is the most prominent feature near the road.
Here you have desert colours at their best. Dry riverbeds cut white lines across a landscape of ochres and browns; if there has been rain, there may be a flush of green grasses; white escarpments lead to flat-topped hills with reddish crowns. Find a suitable vantage point and look around: chances are that you see no other living thing, apart from possibly a hawk or eagle high in the sky. Have you ever wondered how it would feel being on Mars? This is about as close an approximation as you are likely to find. In a word – spectacular! If you wait till sunset, you may see intense reds and browns as the light changes – beware of wildlife on your return though, if you stay till dark.
Main photo: Mt Battersby, sunset

Directions: From Oodnadatta, take the road toward Coober Pedy, then turn off toward Mt Willoughby Homsestead.

See Oodna
If you're making a visit now, the only access is by road or private aircraft. If you drive around for just a few minutes you'll see the town.
When I was there, apart from being a railway station, Oodna was the administrative centre for the northern part of SA. The population was about 60, nearly all government workers in various callings: police, telephone technicians, airport and meteorological staff, teachers, railway workers, and the patrol officer. There was a hospital with two nursing Sisters, run by the Australian Inland Mission and set up in 1911 by the legendary 'Flynn of the Inland'. Depending on the movements of the local tribal people, there also could be anything up to 300 aboriginal people in their camp at the edge of town. I gather the town now is run mainly by and for the aboriginal community. Oh, and I notice from "Google Earth" that the main streets in the town are now sealed.
The aerodrome is off about 2km to the south (no commercial services now operate) and most of the government functions have moved to settlements on the new railway line. Apart from the aerodrome, I understand that the main street retains the corrugated iron Community Hall , the 'Transcontinental Hotel', and the old general store. The "Pink Roadhouse' is also to be found there, while it seems the hospital (now government run) still is in operation at the western end of town.
The latitude and longitude of Oodna, if you'd care to look it up on Google Earth is 27.5465S, 135.4468E .

The General Store
This was something of an institution. It was run for many years by a Czechoslovakian by the name of Pecanec and provided nearly every conceivable service. It was the agency for the Post Office, for two airlines, for the Commonwealth Bank, had its own trucking service, and sold everything you would find in a supermarket or grocery, plus fuel. It also charged like an angry bull, but when quizzed about his prices, Peccie would say (in a heavy Czech accent) 'It is the freight, you know'. He was a friendly rogue, who fitted in perfectly.
While I was there he learned to fly and bought his own Cessna aircraft, with which he terrified everyone by his lack of competence. Which reminds me, he also was the local undertaker and had a range of coffins in storage!
It seems this general store now is owned and operated by the Aboriginal community.

The Pink Roadhouse
The Pink Roadhouse (new since my time) supplies fuels, has a store, operates the post office, has caravan facilities and can assist with any mechanical work. It seems able to provide for most of the likely needs of travellers.
The Pink Roadhouse also has its own very different (and entertaining) website: I'd recommend you have a look! Apart from being a great example of bush humour, it contains a wealth of extremely good information on the area and on things you might care to do there. They are entirely right, this region deserves to be better known and enjoyed by more people: it really has not been discovered by the tourist trade.
Directions: If you drive down the main street, it will be hard to miss!

Drive the Oodnadatta Track Part 2
About 60km from Oodna, you come to a wide area of river beds known as The Neales at a place called Algebuckina. Yes, occasionally there is rain and The Neales actually flows, though at other times it can be totally dry! To cross it, the railway engineers back in the 1890s built a large steel bridge which, at 600 metres, is the longest bridge in South Australia. When I was there, the Algebuckina waterholes had some water and were a very pleasant place for a day's outing from Oodna. It would make a very pleasant camping spot, if that is your interest.
When I last was there the railway was still running, though the locomotives were diesel (I gather they now are rusting in Marree). Even then, following the change to diesel, many of the old sidings had fallen into disrepair because there was no longer a need to water the steam trains. I gather all the railway buildings on the old track are now nothing but ruins, waiting to be explored. There is plenty of history on this drive, if you have time to look around.
I should add that the condition of the Oodnadatta Track varies widely, depending on how recently it has rained, how many trucks or buses have been through, and when the road was last graded! When we went up in 1971 there was an area of mud near Lake Eyre with a choice of about four different tracks through it for some hundreds of metres! Before embarking on it from either end, it would be sensible to check the road conditions.

Drive the Oodnadatta Track Part 1
Does this come under 'things to do' or 'off the beaten track'! Either way, it's one of Australia's more legendary drives, about 400km between Marree and Oodnadatta, and certainly takes you well 'off the beaten track'. I'm sure it's somewhat busier now than back when I was up there. Regardless, I would suggest visiting the police before you depart from either end to let them know of your intentions and to ask about road conditions: should you encounter problems, it could be important for your safety.
Starting from Marree, you skirt the edge of Lake Eyre on your right. It's Australia's largest inland lake – on the odd occasion when it actually has any water! Most times it is just salt flats, shimmering in the distance as they are in this photo taken in 1971. Near Lake Eyre are 'mound springs', subterranean water naturally bubbling to the surface, bringing sediments which create the 'mounds': unfortunately I do not have a photo of them.
About half way along the trip, you will come to the little settlement of William Creek (it's South Australia's smallest, with a population of about 12). I wish I had a photo of the pub, it was straight out of a 'western' movie, with bat wing doors and a dirt floor. Maybe it still is that way! I gather that you now also can get fuel here and that there now is a caravan park.
Address: Head north from Adelaide
Directions: Keep going till you are past the bitumen. When you reach Marree, turn left and you're on your way!

Data is the new currency of business, the most critical asset of the modern organisation. In fact, enterprises that can gain business insights from their data are twice as likely to outperform their competitors; yet 72 percent of them have not started or are only planning big-data activities.1 In addition, organisations often spend too much money and time managing where their data is stored. The average firm purchases 24 percent more storage every year,2 but uses less than half of the capacity it already has.3
Built with IBM Spectrum Virtualise software – part of the IBM Spectrum Storage family – IBM SVC is a storage virtualisation system that enables a single point of control for storage resources to help support improved business application availability and greater resource utilisation. The objective is to manage storage resources in your IT infrastructure and to make sure they're used to the advantage of your business – and do it quickly, efficiently and in real time, while avoiding increases in administrative costs.
IBM Spectrum Virtualise software in SVC helps make new and existing storage more effective. SVC includes many functions traditionally deployed separately in disk systems. By including these in a virtualisation system, SVC standardises functions across virtualised storage for greater flexibility and potentially lower costs.
IBM Spectrum Virtualise functions benefit all virtualised storage. For example, Easy Tier optimises use of flash storage. Real-time Compression enhances efficiency even further by enabling the storage of up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical disk space.4 Encryption helps improve data security and finally, high-performance thin provisioning helps automate provisioning. These benefits can help extend the useful life of existing storage assets, reducing costs.
Integrating these functions into SVC also means that they are designed to operate smoothly together, reducing management effort.
Common features
- Combine storage capacity from multiple vendors for centralised management
- Increase storage utilisation by providing more flexible access to storage assets
- Support for over 350 different storage systems
- Increase effective storage capacity up to five times with hardware-accelerated Real-time Compression
- Improve administrator productivity by enabling management of pooled storage from a single interface
- Insulate host applications from changes to the physical storage infrastructure
- Deploy configurations to provide high availability (HA) and data mobility between data centres (DCs) up to 300 kilometres (km) (186 miles) apart
- Help improve data security with support for encryption
- Enable a tiered storage environment to match the cost of storage to the value of data
- Apply common network-based copy services across storage systems from multiple vendors with innovative network bandwidth optimisation
- Support data migration among storage systems without interruption to applications
- Leverage the first storage virtualisation system with tightly integrated support for flash storage
- Support consolidated disaster-recovery (DR) sites servicing more than one production location
- Enable almost-instant recovery from disk backups
Hardware summary
- Processors: two Intel Xeon E5-2667v4 3.2GHz eight-core processors
- 64 to 256 gigabyte (GB) (in increments of 64 GB) of system memory
- Up to two compression accelerators using Intel QuickAssist technology

Good External Microphone for Note 2?
I do some simple voice recordings for work that I DEFINITELY waste too much time on making them sound professional (but it's fun). In the past, I used Audacity on my Ubuntu laptop w/ a USB headset and got surprisingly great results (at least in my eye).
I was thinking that the Note 2 definitely has enough power to do this and be even more portable. I tried two different USB headsets w/ my USB OTG cable and had no luck.
Does anyone know of an external mic solution that can be used w/ the Note 2? I'd love to be able to have an entire recording rig in my cargo pants...

The Red Sox and their fans are nearing what seems to be yet another great finish to a nearly dominating regular season, boasting a 78-50 record, a league-leading .278 batting average, and even managing to crack the top-three in fielding percentage at .987. Life is good if you are a Red Sox fan.
However, pitching has been the main concern this year and will prove to be a potential "X-factor" for this coming postseason play. With Clay Buchholz out with a stress fracture in his lower back, there will most certainly be a vacant spot in the playoff rotation. Many believe this gap will be filled by Erik Bedard, John Lackey or Andrew Miller. Who will rise to the occasion and claim this spot? Let's take a look and compare these three.

Soon after September 11, 2001, Robert Fisk was bashed by a crowd of Afghan refugees near the Pakistani border. Only the 11th-hour intervention of a Muslim cleric, who called an end to the attack, saved the veteran foreign correspondent from death. But Fisk, who has lived in Beirut for 33 years – reporting first for the Times and then, since 1988, for the Independent – felt no rage towards his assailants: only at himself for fighting back.
"What had I done?" he wrote after recovering. "I had been punching and attacking Afghan refugees … the very dispossessed, mutilated people whom my own country – among others – was killing." He referred to one attacker as "truly innocent of any crime except that of being the victim of the world" and saw the mob's brutality as "entirely the product of others, of us". If he were an Afghan refugee, Fisk wrote, he would have responded to the presence of a Westerner with equal bloodlust.
In an age of carefully impartial media coverage of the Middle East, Fisk's empathy with the Muslim world and moral indignation have won him an avid global following. But some see his treatment of Arabs as patronising – even while trying to kill him, they can do no wrong. His critics charge him with promoting a Manichean vision in which the West is the Great Satan and the Arabs are mere victims of its imperial designs. But even they often grudgingly admire his courage and experience.
Named British International Journalist of the Year seven times, Fisk has provided dispatches from 11 major Middle Eastern wars as well as innumerable insurgencies and massacres. While many fellow commentators unleash opinions from London or New York, being spoon-fed by Washington think-tanks and recycling news-agency reports, Fisk testifies from the ground and gives a voice to the people affected by Western foreign policy.
He avoids working with other Western journalists to stay immune from what he sees as their pack mentality. "A lot of journalists want to be close to power – governments, politicians," says the 62-year-old reporter, before stressing: "I don't."
Even so, he has interviewed most of the region's major power brokers – including, on three occasions, Osama bin Laden. In The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East (2005) – a 1300-page memoir of three decades as a Middle Eastern correspondent – Fisk recounts how bin Laden, who has praised his "neutral" reporting, tried to recruit him. The al Qaeda leader told Fisk that a "brother" had a dream in which "you came to us one day on a horse, that you had a beard and were a spiritual person. You wore a robe like us. That means you are a true Muslim."
Terrified, Fisk replied: "Sheikh Osama, I am not a Muslim, and the job of a journalist is to tell the truth." To which the satisfied jihadist remarked: "If you tell the truth, that means you are a good Muslim."
Fisk makes no apologies for favouring the downtrodden, asserting "we should be unbiased on the side of injustice". He explains: "It's not a football match, where you give 50% to each side. At the liberation of a Nazi extermination camp, you wouldn't give equal time to the SS."
His outrage at the duplicity of Western politicians – and the media's complicity with their lies – burns throughout his new book, The Age of the Warrior: Selected Writings, a collection of columns from five years, which he is visiting New Zealand next month to promote.
To Fisk, the "balance"-fixated objectivity of the press masks its collaboration with oppression, as competing views of well-documented facts are weighed with weasel clauses like "opinions differ among Middle East experts". "I find the New York Times' coverage of the Middle East incomprehensible," he opines, "because it's so careful to make sure that everybody is able to criticise everybody else. People reading newspapers want to know what the bloody reporter is thinking or knows."
On average, Fisk receives about 250 readers' letters every week and he notes "how much more eloquent the language of readers is than the language of journalists".
Nowhere does Fisk identify more skewed semantics than in press treatment of Israel-Palestine. Israeli-occupied territories are recast as "disputed territories", Jewish settlements become "Jewish neighbourhoods", assassinations of Palestinian militants are termed "targeted killings" and the separation wall is described as a "security barrier".
His prognosis for Israel-Palestine? "Eternal war, unless we go back to UN Security Council Resolution 242 – withdrawal of security forces from territories occupied in the '67 war." But, he hastens to add: "I see no eagerness for it. If you keep on building settlements for Jews and Jews only on land that belongs to Arabs and they're illegal, that's a terrible cause of war."
The actor John Malkovich, aggrieved by Fisk's stance on Israel, remarked to the Cambridge Union in 2002 that he wanted to shoot him. Soon images of the journalist covered in blood were posted online by bloggers threatening to beat Malkovich to the job. The verb "to fisk" has entered the language of the blogosphere; "fisking" involves copying an article onto a webpage and debunking it point by point – a practice favoured by his detractors.
Little wonder, then, that Fisk doesn't use email or the world wide web, which he derides as "trash" and a "web of hate". "There's no sense of responsibility," he says. "It's not something you can sue over. It's caused huge numbers of inaccuracies in stories."
Fisk rejects the allegation that his work reflects a pro-Arab bias, noting: "I've been excoriating in my views of Arab dictators." A controversial figure in Turkey, he was once expelled for reporting that its troops looted supplies intended to relieve Kurdish refugees. His Istanbul publishers insisted on releasing the Turkish-language edition of The Great War for Civilisation quietly, without publicity, fearing legal action over the chapter "The First Holocaust", in which Fisk documents the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915.
Yet his fan base in the Arab world is such that in 2000, when it was rumoured falsely that the Independent might sack him under pressure from the "Zionist lobby", the newspaper received 3000 emails from Muslims in five days protesting. Recently, he learned of a counterfeit biography of Saddam Hussein, titled From Birth to Martyrdom, doing a brisk trade in Cairo. The author: "Robert Fisk".
Though fluent in Arabic, Fisk hasn't lost his Englishness or "gone native" like some foreign correspondents: "I eat Lebanese food, of course, but I also eat pizzas and French food." Lebanon is the most well-educated and cosmopolitan Middle Eastern society, he claims, and is also a convenient base for his work: "Beirut is a bit like Vienna after World War II – every-body is here. Iranian agents and – I'm sure – the CIA are here. If you want to meet someone from Somalia or Sudan, they're here."
Divorced from the svelte Irish Times foreign correspondent Lara Marlowe, Fisk has admitted to knowing "quite a few young ladies". But he now stonewalls personal questions.
He was born in Kent, southeast England, the only child of Bill Fisk, who served as a lieutenant in World War I. It's not lost on Fisk that he's devoted his life to chronicling the failures of the states created artificially by his father's generation, when Britain carved up the Middle East after 1918 – "the reason why this place is so screwed up and why I'm here now".
Bill was an authoritarian father who called blacks "niggers" and hated the Irish. By the time he died in 1992, aged 93, his racism had become intolerable to his son, who refused to visit him in his final days. In The Great War for Civilisation, Fisk devotes a chapter to his father's wartime experiences, partly as an attempt "to apologise to him for not going to see him".
Despite their differences, Bill supported his son's choice of career. When the Israeli Government warned journalists to leave Lebanon during its siege of Beirut in 1982, Fisk's mother, Peggy, called to say she and Bill came to the same conclusion as he had – that he should stay put, since it was merely an attempt by the Israeli Government to stop reporting of civilian casualties. The only Western male journalist who stayed in Beirut throughout the 80s, Fisk survived two kidnap attempts.
"I'd end up spending 90% of my time trying to avoid being kidnapped and 10% working for the paper. We Westerners love routine and kidnappers know that. You have to completely break up your Western thinking and think like them." So he drove to the airport through Hezbollah areas where the terrorists would never suspect he might travel.
Fisk was 29 when the Times "offered" him the Middle East, after a few years covering the conflict in Northern Ireland. In his memoir, he recalls anticipating what his foreign editor promised would be "a great adventure with lots of sunshine": "I wondered how King Feisal felt when he was 'offered' Iraq or how his brother Abdullah reacted to Winston Churchill's 'offer' of Transjordan."
The romance soon vanished, however. "Once I was with the Iraqi army in the front line and the Iranians in the trenches, and watching people get killed around me, the Hollywood excitement wore off. It's not been a happy time."
Nevertheless, he displays the excitement at danger that once led William Dalrymple to christen him a "war junkie". "If I rush to southern Lebanon and manage to get back safely and file my story, I can go out to dinner at a French restaurant and say, 'I made it, I made it!'" Fisk exclaims. Preferring the term "foreign correspondent" to "war reporter", he suggests "people who call themselves 'war correspondents' are promoting themselves as romantic figureheads".
Seeing Alfred Hitchcock's film Foreign Correspondent (1940) at age 12 sparked Fisk's desire to become a journalist, and he muses about the possibility of retiring to write feature films about the Middle East. Now collaborating on his first screenplay, he says: "I'm keener to write screenplays for movies than anything else at the moment. I think that cinema – I don't mean DVDs or TV – is probably the most persuasive medium that exists."
His next book – titled Night of Power, in reference to the evening of Mohammed's ascent to heaven – will centre on the Bosnian War of the early 90s. The indifference of Western powers to the Serbs' ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims galvanised the Arab world's resentment towards the West, he says: "Looking back, I should have been much more alert at the Middle Eastern end of the Bosnian story than I was."
The Middle East has never looked so bleak to Fisk: "Every morning I wake in bed here and ask myself, 'Where is the explosion going to be today?'" From his apartment in Beirut's fabled Corniche, he heard the blast that killed former Lebanese Prime Minster Rafik Hariri in 2005. Fisk didn't recognise the burning body of his friend, who was the second person to phone after Fisk was mobbed in Afghanistan. "I thought it was a man who sold bread," he says.
Next to his front door is a postcard reproduction of a photograph showing Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife leaving a town hall in Sarajevo, five minutes before they were assassinated. It's there to remind him that "you never know what will happen when you leave the front door".
Fisk stresses he has lasted for more than three decades in the Middle East because of fear, not the lack of it: "If you're not afraid of danger, you'll die. I want to live to at least 93, my father's age."
Fisk is appearing in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland, September 6-9. For details, visit www.harpercollins.co.nz, www.amnesty.org.nz and www.chchwritersfest.co.nz.

a horse picks up on the way people are feeling, mirroring their emotions and responding. As a herd animal they areattuned to stress and body language, a horse will move away from an angry person, follow someone it trusts and be unsettled when it senses fear. especially good for people who don't enjoy or benefit from talking therapies as counselling is not suited to everyone.
I chose my gridsquare to be where I keep my horse on a livery yard, as it is the place I spend most of my time and only a few miles from my house. My best friend keeps her horse at the same place so I am lucky to be able to go out for hacks in the area as it a few minutes ride from Lennabow Woodland, Our favourite place to go, and our horses are just as good of friends!
Theres not a better feeling for me than having a special bond with my horse, the feeling you can do anything together!
