Common Tansy - Tanacetum vulgare
This perennial is recognizable by its clusters of button-shaped golden flowers with flat heads, each about ½ inch wide. Tansy leaves are pinnate (feather-like), and separated into smaller leaflets that run along the side of the main leaf stalk, giving them a fern-like appearance.
Common Tansy flowers from July through September and can be found along roadsides and edges of fields. The stems and leaves of this heavily scented plant contain a toxic sap known to be hazardous to humans and animals.
Chicory - Cichorium intybus
Chicory is a member of the Sunflower family (Asteraceae) and is easily recognizable by its large blue flowers, each with multiple square-tipped petals. Each flower, borne against the plant's thick stem, lasts for only one day. The leaves of this species have a dandelion-like appearance. The roots can be roasted and ground up and have been used as an additive in or substitute for coffee.

Health Careers >> Browse Articles >> Technical Medical Careers
Career Guide: Veterinary Technician
Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
Education and Training
Most entry-level veterinary technicians have a 2-year associate degree from an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)-accredited community college program in veterinary technology in which courses are taught in clinical and laboratory settings using live animals. About 16 colleges offer veterinary technology programs that are longer and that culminate in a 4-year bachelor's degree in veterinary technology. These 4-year colleges, in addition to some vocational schools, also offer 2-year programs in laboratory animal science. Several schools offer distance learning.
In 2006, 131 veterinary technology programs in 44 States were accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Graduation from an AVMA-accredited veterinary technology program allows students to take the credentialing exam in any State in the country.
Featured Articles:
Persons interested in careers as veterinary technologists and technicians should take as many high school science, biology, and math courses as possible. Science courses taken beyond high school, in an associate or bachelor's degree program, should emphasize practical skills in a clinical or laboratory setting.
Technologists and technicians usually begin work as trainees in routine positions under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. Entry-level workers whose training or educational background encompasses extensive hands-on experience with a variety of laboratory equipment, including diagnostic and medical equipment, usually require a shorter period of on-the-job training.
Licensure and Certification
Each State regulates veterinary technicians and technologists differently; however, all States require them to pass a credentialing exam following coursework. Passing the State exam assures the public that the technician or technologist has sufficient knowledge to work in a veterinary clinic or hospital. Candidates are tested for competency through an examination that includes oral, written, and practical portions and that is regulated by the State Board of Veterinary Examiners or the appropriate State agency. Depending on the State, candidates may become registered, licensed, or certified. Most States, however, use the National Veterinary Technician (NVT) exam. Prospects usually can have their passing scores transferred from one State to another, so long as both States use the same exam.
Employers recommend American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) certification for those seeking employment in a research facility. AALAS offers certification for three levels of technician competence, with a focus on three principal areas—animal husbandry, facility management, and animal health and welfare. Those who wish to become certified must satisfy a combination of education and experience requirements prior to taking the AALAS examination. Work experience must be directly related to the maintenance, health, and well-being of laboratory animals and must be gained in a laboratory animal facility as defined by AALAS. Candidates who meet the necessary criteria can begin pursuing the desired certification on the basis of their qualifications. The lowest level of certification is Assistant Laboratory Animal Technician (ALAT), the second level is Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT), and the highest level of certification is Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG). The AALAS examination consists of multiple-choice questions and is longer and more difficult for higher levels of certification, ranging from 2 hours and 120 multiple choice questions for the ALAT to 3 hours and 180 multiple choice questions for the LATG.
Other Qualifications
As veterinary technologists and technicians often deal with pet owners, communication skills are very important. In addition, technologists and technicians should be able to work well with others, because teamwork with Veterinarians is common. Organizational ability and the ability to pay attention to detail also are important.

Nearly a decade ago a man's fantasy became reality in a form never seen before…okay, yes I am totally riping off the introduction from iron Chef but there is a reason for that. This recipe I am about to present was inspired by an episode of Iron Chef. It actually was about a decade ago and Iron Chef Chen was squaring off against Hisao Oidate, who is an expert in Chinese Medicinal Cuisine. As an aspiring chef the idea that food could be both used to nourish and to heal interested me. I knew that food could help make you feel better but Chinese medicinal cuisine is much more than just that. They believe that what you eat affects your health by creating imbalances in your spirit. And to put it right you need to eat foods that restore the balance between Yin and Yang.
So this recipe comes from what I learned researching medicinal cooking. It is perfect for the cold winter months because it is chock full of ingredients that are meant to be eaten in that season. However this is also great to eat at other times of the year as well. To prepare this wonderfully balancing meal you will need the following:
One pound of ground pork
One head of cabbage, diced
One carrot, sliced
one medium onion, halved and sliced
Two cups of sliced mushrooms
One teaspoon of ground ginger
Four green onions, chopped
Four cloves of minced garlic
Two tablespoons of soy sauce
One-half teaspoon of pepper
Six cups of chicken broth
One half pound popcorn shrimp (optional)
One package of rice noodles
Combine the ground pork, ginger, soy sauce, egg, garlic, and the tops (the white parts) of the green onions into an even mix. In a large stock pot add the cabbage, carrot, onion, mushrooms, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Make meatballs either by hand or by using a scoop and drop them into the boiling broth. Stir gently and cook for ten minutes. Add the shrimp and rice noodles and cook until the noodles are soft. Garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and serve.

Nanowrimo is officially over. Most years, I'm ready to edit my November beast of a novel into something more, but I ended this year with a head cold and really could not care about editing.
Instead, I am challenging myself, and you also, to keep writing! I know that after pounding out 50,000 words, the last thing you (or I) want to do is come up with MORE material.
I've got news for you, that's what we writers do!
For every day you take off writing, your muse will take off three!
In order to jump start your weary (my weary) brains, I suggest you (and I) do one of two things; Enter a challenge, or Sequel another story.
I noticed, and you may not have realized this, that while I was laboriously counting words, there were a tireless few who continued to upload stories here on ficly. My hat is off to you! Now I (and therefore, you) shall go back and read these fine tales and choose one that inspires me to sequel and sequel it! Then I shall do it the next day as well!
As writers, we write. We write when we are tired, when we are happy, when we are depressed, when we are in love, and when we are stumped. It's what we should do, no matter what.
The day we stop writing is the day we, well, let's not talk about that.
We write. We keep on writing, even if what we produce is mediocre and flops on the page like a limp, wet, noodle. (That is my brain after Nano; all it left me are noodle metaphors.) Even if we end our sentences in denial that the first half of the sentence exists;
Just. Keep. Writing.

Capitis Maximus Diminutio Are You A Citizen of the Delaware Coporation USA, INC?
All CAPITAL LETTERS.
Just that alone is a topic of detailed discussion that has been recorded by many others And I will post several video links at the bottom of this blog for you to watch, so you are more able to understand just how much has been done over the past 155 years.
Amendment 14 was never ratified in accordance to the Articles of the Constitution There were not enough votes to pass this Amendment. Yet we are to believe it is not only legal, we are to believe it has made men free.
First question that needs to be answered is if all men are not free before the Amendment then why is it that in the Declaration of Independence it clearly stated that ALL men (not reflecting sex but humans) we given inelinable rights by their Creator. Some will explain that we had no due process of law before the Amendment. This too is incorrect for in Amendment V it clearly states that you will have the rights of Due Process of Law where the government shall not deny you the right of Life Liberty and the pursuit of gaining property (happiness).
One final question to ask, If you are now free and have Due Process of Law attempt to purchase a good or product and refuse to pay the taxes on that good or property.
You have to enter into a Contract and if you do not enter into the entire contract or agree to the entire contract then that contract is Null and Void.
Apply for a Credit Card or a Loan. It will ask you if you are a US Citizen if you refuse to answer that question you will be denied. If you lie you are also violating the law. So how do you determine who are US Citizens?
Look on your bank statements your credit card or any business mail. All corporations names are in Captial letters. This is based upon the Roman Law known as Capitus Maximus Diminutio Only Coproations Dead People and Slaves have their names in Capital letters. Look at your Drivers License your bank statements anything that comes from a business and notice your name. If you go to court and you receieve a Court "DOCKET" Notice the spelling of your name. ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. The reason for this is due what has happening in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA since 1871.
Amendment XIV is actually about Incorporating you the individual. It is an illegal Amendent that violates the organic constitution of and for these united States of America. because it was not properly radified by the States.
Admirality Law and Law of the Land are two seperate laws
If you have a Law dictionary Look at the word Bench in Latin it means Banco (BANK) The court is nothing but an adminstrator of the Delaware Corporation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Below is a liste some of the Corporations
For Profit General Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 7/12/33
File No. 0325720
...FEDERAL RESERVE ASSOCIATION (Federal Reserve)
Non-profit Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 9/13/14
File No. 0042817
For Profit General Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 3/9/83
File No. 2004409
For-profit General Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 8/22/80
File No. 0897960
For-profit Delaware Statutory Trust
Incorporation Date 10/24/95
File No. 2554768
For-Profit General Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date: 11/13/89
File No. 2213135
Non-profit Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 4/19/89 File No. 2193946
Look at #1 the paragraph has a link "click here for status on the web." From there, at the end of the first paragraph "receive a status inquiry on line, CLICK HERE." It takes you to 'General Inform...ation Name Search.') Keep in mind - these are just some of the listings I could found. For example, I tracked down the Bureau of Engraving and Printing - in the state of Texas (foreign corp from the District of Columbia). This means, as 'citizens,' we are assets of the corporation. It doesn't matter who is in office, the board of directors and the shareholders own and run the country - just as in any other corporation. Roosevelt's quote has an entirely different meaning now: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."
THIS IS WHY GITMO SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! and all prisoners Freed!
Each of the above CORPORATIONS are an entity that must file State of Delaware tax returns to the Division of Revenue in the state of Delaware. If you were to look at the tax auditors office the Non Profit Corporation known as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has not filed a tax return in the state for which it is incorporated (Delaware, The very state I reside in- BTW, I am a retired Tax Professional I am still recognized as such by the Dept of Treasury. EIN 52-20146)
The Non Profit Corporation of the Central Intelligence Authority, Inc (CIA) is also a Registered Corporation in the state of Delaware.
If you are not a resident of Alaska Hawaii, or living within the 10 mile track of land known as Washington DC unless you submit a false document, stating you are a US Citizen and reside in these areas, the Corporations Jurisdiction is not applicable to you. And if you have falsified your resident status the contract is also null and void in accordance to Contract Law.
If the Corporations jurisdiction and these agencies also are operating outside their jurisdiction they are operating in violation of the law. Tresspassing!
Question : Is Gitmo a recognized Territory of the UNITED STATES OF AMERCIA?
Where is GITMO Located?
Location of Gitmo is Cuba, The Answer to is it a recognized Territory of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NO it is not.
So how could this issue be tresspassing, if Cuba allows the US to operate there?
Gitmo is a hosted site shouldn't the laws of Cuba prevail?
Start a Business and attempt to do business in CUBA. Watch how fast the Corporation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and its subsidiaries seize arrest you and seize your property.
Also another test is to see if you actually own anything. stop paying taxes and see how fast the Illegal arm of the corporation comes and seizes the goods you have purchased.
It is illegal to do any business with CUBA! That was also passed into law when the Corporaton USA, Inc. decided to sanction Cuba after the Whole Bay of Pigs thing.
The easiest way to know if Gitmo is a Territory of the Corporation USA, INC. is to look at who represents it in Congress. Guam has a someone Puerto Rico. the Somoian Islands. But Does Cuba? or Gitmo?
Answer NO
Therefore, if Gitmo has no representative(s) in Congress It is an area where the Corp. USA is illegally conducting business Therefore operating illegally. And tresspassing.
All of property that is titled to the USA, INC or its subsidiaries, located in each state must pay a foreign Corporation Income Tax or they MUST at very least file a Tax return showing they are not a business that has made any capital gains. i.e property or revenue.
If the entity or any of its subsidities are making a profit, and listed as a 501 Organization Then they have also violated the IRC (Internal Revenue Code related to 501 corporations).
If any of the above listed corporations have operated outside their legal jurisdiction their actions MUST Be so ordered by the people to cease and Disist immediately!
How? A Citizens Grand Jury is one means that is constitutionally entitled to the people. as a protection against an abusive government and its employees, i.e CEO VP board members and administrators of the Corporation USA, INC.
Any individuals who were apprehended by the CIA or any other subsidiary of the Corporation UNITED STATES of AMERICA are being denied their 6th Amendment Rights.
This has recently been determined by the cases of the detainees being tried in a federal court in NY. An entity with adminstrators also operating beyond its jurisdiction (outside of Hawaii, Alaska and DC).
The only place any detainees can be tried are in
Alaska Hawaii or Washington DC in accordance to operating legally under the ACT of 1871
So if you agree that your states rights are under the jurisdiction of the Corporation that was created Feb. 21, 1871 by an Act of the 41st US Congress; Section 34 Session III Chapers 61 and 62, by passing an "Act To Provide A Government For The District of Columbia" also known as The Act of 1871, why is it that each politician will talk of reducting the National debt and yet they refuse to address the problem of removing the very thing that has caused the problems; Known as the Federal Reserve?
Only the people living in territories that became States since 1871 are applicable to being under the jurisdiction of the Corporation USA, Inc. through the Act of 1871 Now do you realize why Sarah Palin has been promoted so strongly?
And why there is so much information on Barak Obama that is not being released by HI?
And why at this time the VP of the Corporation is from the State of Incorporation for The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INC when the state of Delaware committed Treason by allowing the Incorporating of the Non Profit Organiation United States of America?
Delaware UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.
Non-profit Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 4/19/89 File No. 2193946
CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AUTHORITY INC. (CIA)For Profit General Delaware Corporation
Incorporation Date 3/9/83
File No. 2004409
According to State of Delaware's Tax Auditors ofice records last researched; the Non Profit Corporation UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS IN DEFAULT OF PAYING STATE TAXES TO THE State of Delaware's Division of Revenue. Yet no legal action has been demanded by the states Governor Tax Auditor General Assembly County Sheriff Court of Chancellory et al.
It is paramount that you know the difference between the Organic Constitution and the Corporate Constitution that was illegaly passed; without a CON CON, and did not abolish the Original Constitution of the 13 Colonies!
Look at the Declaration of Independence. Note the spelling the united States of the Thirteen Colonies.
The spelling is NOT A TYPO it is ancient ROMAN LAW called
Capitis Maximus Diminutio
Then look up how corrupted the Judicial system has become.
Judges are appointed to sit on the BENCH. In latin that word Bench is Banco (BANK) That means they are nothing more than the administrators for the coporation who are in charge of the revenues. And if the administrators they are negligent in filing the Tax Returns required by the Internal Revenue Codes in the US Code and Delaware Code.
If you do enough research, you will also discover the courts are operating under Maritime Law. And the administrators and the very teir that is to proect your rights are no a court that recognizes the Laws of the Land.
This is the reason you see the Yellow fring that is around the US Flags and has been placed on them illegally since the end of WWII.
Admirality Law.
They are supposed to recognize individuals rights and State rights in accordance to Amendments IX and X! Yet, it is argued that the 10th amendment is null and void due to Amendment XIV. Which was never "Ratified in accordance to the Articles in the Constitutio (rules of adding an amendment to the Constitution).
Some state that the politicians must be made aware of this that they surely do not understand what has happened.
As for them not understanding the system.
Actually the Esquires in this country who have been elected are counting on and attempting to distract the people from understanding this treasonous Act.
Here is something that most do not realize.
In accordance to the Articles of the Constitution, No person holding an office of the government is permitted to be awarded a title of nobility from a King or other country.
This wold include Knighthood and other titles and deeds. Benjamin Franklin was offered a seat in Parliment and refused it. This was because it was an act known as conflict of interest, that would later be deemed, when the Colonies delcared Independence from GB as someone who held a dual allegiance to another country besides the interests of the people of the colonies.
Colin Powell, Ted Kennedy and many others including Geo HW Bush have been awarded Knighthood there are governors who also have recieved this title as with othertitles form other countries. Even Barak Obama recieved an eligal title of Nobilty, The Noble Peace Prize a title of recognition from another country, that must be approved by Congress for the person recieving it to accept it. (Congress, wo is supposed to be the respective voice of the people.)
So why didn't any member in Congress demand these titles be refused, and returned back to the country of origin after they were awarded? Why is it that the announcements on the Congressonal Floor that these indiviuals were recieving these titles and deeds, recieved staning applauds from all members of our Congress?
No, They clearly show, they know what they are doing.
The majority of members in congress are titled Esquires, and that too is a title of nobility (English Law) and is illegal for a person to hold and be a member of the government that is of the people by and for the people .
We should do away with the Federal Reserve! And we should get back to the Organic Constitution!
We wouldn't have Standing Armies on our own soi more than 2 years. and we should not be sending our military to follow a flag for corporations dating back to the Spanish American War.
If we were not under this treasonous Bankers ACT known as the Act of 1871.

I have a question. What if you name of your birth certificate is spelled like the following: LA WONDA LA RENEE WHITE? So all your life you have spelled it La Wonda La Renee White? Would that be a problem of you were in the process of gaining Power of Attorney of your corporation?ReplyDelete
Hi, Last year we formed a corporation through a big name bay area lawyer who offered us big retainer. (Remember, this was before the economy tanked). They started our coporation with 10M stocks. As a token of doing a "retainer hour favor" they took 10K stocks for $10. Later when we tried to raise some funding, our lawyers asked us to amend outstanding stocks to 20M. When asked why, they said it will be easy for us to get funding this way.ReplyDelete

Friday after the British parliament voted to join the United States in the fight against ISIS, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd criticized President Barack Obama for not leading by bringing back the Congress for a vote on a war resolution because he is "afraid of the political consequences."
Todd said, "This is a man, [Obama] who said he wanted to get rid of the war authorization and have a new one. You want to know why there is mistrust in Washington and a lack of faith with both parties? It's moments like this, a big moment and you refuse to deal with it because you are afraid of the political consequences."

Sunday, July 25th: Boistfort Valley Returns (Honest), Sweet Corn, Paprika, Bluebird, Vote!!!/
Did you know that there is a national contest going on right now to select America's Favorite Farmers Market? Yup. And you get to choose the winner by voting for your favorite, which you and I know is your Ballard Farmers Market. Okay, now, did you know that your Ballard Farmers Market is solidly in 3rd place in that voting as of this moment? Since there are something like 7,000 farmers markets in the United States, that's pretty good, but come on good people of Ballard, we know we should be in first place, right? And what chaps my hide most about our 3rd place position is that 2nd place belongs to Davis, California, and 1st place belongs to Rochester, New York. Are you kidding me? Davis, which gave us much of our corporate agribusiness, and Rochester, which gave us, um, Kodak and Pyrex?
There is only one explanation I can find for this, and that is that not all of you reading this epistle right now have voted yet. On average, over 2,000 people read this every week. Rochester currently has just over 1,600 votes. So if every one reading this voted right now, Ballard Farmers Market would take the lead! And look, you can vote with cookies turned off. You don't have to join anything. You don't have to give any personal info beyond your name and email address. And you won't get any spam as a result. Trust me. I hate that stuff, and I haven't gotten any spam. So vote for Ballard now! Click the link, type "Ballard" into the market search field, click vote, fill in your name and email, and you're done. 30 seconds tops. Let's kick some serious New York and California butt, Ballard!
Did I say that Boistfort Valley Farm was returning last week? Whoops. See, I was given bad info from my boss, and that's the story I'm sticking with. Don't worry. I already told her I was throwing her under the bus on this one. But now she assures me that Heidi has given her the official call, and Boistfort will, in fact, return today. For those of us who know and love them, that's all we need to know. For those who are unfamiliar with Boistfort (and we know there are two or three of you still out there), you are in for a treat. Boistfort Valley not only grows produce of supreme quality and beauty, but they specialize in growing varieties of heirloom crops from Japan, Italy, and other great food nations. And they grow so many different crops that only Stoney Plains, which is a neighbor of theirs, can rival them.
Speaking of unrivaled, Bluebird Grain Farms grows certified organic grains in the Methow Valley of North Central Washington that is prized by chefs from coast to coast. They are most well known for their emmer (or farro, as it is also known), the ancient grain of the Fertile Crescent. Emmer is one of the oldest cultivated crops, and the oldest cultivated grain. It has been farmed for over 17,000 years, and kernels of it over 3,000 years old found in the tombs of the Pharaohs have actually been sprouted. It is very high in protein and relatively low in gluten, extremely versatile, and quite delicious.
Woohoo!!! It's sweet corn season! Oh, happy day! Just take a gander at this gorgeous stuff from Alvarez Organic Farms. They, along with Magana and Lyall, have sweet corn now. They are all in the heart of the Yakima River Valley, the Palm Springs of Washington, which means it is hot, hot, hot. Corn loves it there. And you love corn. Life is, indeed, good.
Some Like It Hott! returns for a brief stint with its amazing paprikas. Charlie grows his special peppers in a little greenhouse in Port Townsend, just around the corner from Colinwood Farms. He then dries, smokes and grinds his peppers to make an awesome variety of paprikas, from mild to face-melting. And they are not just about heat. Indeed, they are really about flavor. Charlie's folks came from Transylvania, where they know a thing or two about paprika. So stop by and stock up today, while you can, or you might just have to wait until fall.
And remember, there is plenty more for you to find today at your Ballard Farmers Market. But before you click on the What's Fresh Now! pages to see what all else is in season right now, please do take a moment to vote for Ballard Farmers Market in American Farmland Trust's America's Favorite Farmers Markets contest. Just type "Ballard" in the market search box, and it'll take you right to the page where you can vote for us. And thank you!

The very first tip in basic fishing is generating positive the rig is just right. You can find two motives producing sure the rig is just suitable. Initially, a robust well tied fishing knot will not break when setting the hook and second, particular knots swim your fly or lure in a way similar for the way fish swim generating it much more organic. There are various diverse techniques of tying a knot and that all is determined by what you're fishing for. Listed here are some knots and what they may be utilized for. The first one is a Turle Knot which is a fantastic fixed knot for fly fishing in addition to a Uni Knot is really a loop left open that makes streamers and nymphs look realistic. Get more information about https://fishinggen.com
Second tip is making certain your lure is swimming appropriately. You have to ensure that your bait is naturally moving by way of the water and mimicking fish movements and you do that along with your rod tip and reel speed. Whenever you pull on your rod tip and reel down to collect slack but generating sure to maintain in get in touch with with your lure. A lot of people feel they may be going to catch anything if they just cast and reel as fast as they're able to but for those who do that your lure is not going to appear like a organic fish within the water. Just ensure to swim your lure as the fishing spot dictates and you will possess a much better possibility of catching that monster fish or simply catching some thing period.
Third tip is changing depths. Many people that fish the top of your water thinks it truly is fun but if there are actually no fish in the surface it won't be as fun as you won't be catching something. In case you are going to become fishing the best of your water, you should make sure you are utilizing a jig, spoon or even a metal-lipped jerk bait to greater your probabilities of catching some thing. You may must go deeper to locate where the fish are. You will discover going to be instances where you will need to add or subtract weight when bait fishing or go to a sink tip or sinking line when you find yourself fly fishing. Just remember for anyone who is getting any best water action you might have to have to go deeper to seek out where the fish are.
Final tip is altering place. In case you have been sitting in the exact same spot to get a whilst and have changed distinctive lures and baits and there is nothing baiting, you must move around to exactly where the fish are at. But prior to you make a decision to leave the location you happen to be at be sure to have covered all the water about you. Ensure to throw a few cast to your left, for your appropriate, in front of the boat and inside the back in the boat. You by no means know the fish may very well be anywhere and it can be uncomplicated to move the boat to where the fish are.
With these few tips you'll be in a position to catch that monster fish or maybe a pile of pan fish this summer season and possible in to the winter, that is in case you feel you may have the summer time fishing down to offer ice fishing a try. Good luck fishing this summer.

He was the main character in a hit drama, but felt hurt and stung that he wasn't getting paid what he thought he deserved. After toiling in relative obscurity for most of his career, this new member of the A-list of leading TV performers couldn't believe the entertainment press was calling him greedy and ungrateful.
When he threatened to leave the series if he wasn't paid more, his star was temporarily tarnished by negative publicity, as well as a breach-of-contract lawsuit by his employers, who felt the show wouldn't survive if he left.
The clash may sound like the current legal standoff between HBO and James Gandolfini, the star of the cable network's hit drama "The Sopranos." But this dispute actually took place 11 years ago. The actor was Rob Morrow, and the show was "Northern Exposure," CBS' quirky series about a yuppie New York doctor spending his residency in Cicely, Alaska.
Eventually both sides worked out their differences, Morrow returned to work, and life on the set of "Northern Exposure" continued on almost as if nothing had happened. The series continued until 1995, and Morrow moved on to movies and other TV work, including his current starring role in Showtime's "Street Time." Though he has worked steadily, his career momentum was derailed.

Tibetan medicine was most likely the first truly integrated system of ancient healing science. From the seventh to the tenth centuries, Tibetan kings inspired physicians from India, China, Nepal, Persia, and Greece to teach their ancient medical sciences to Tibetan physicians, who at that point were primarily influenced by Ayurveda and shamanic healing modalities. This cross-cultural wedding of the best healing traditions makes Tibetan medication ideally adaptable to Western health needs.
Tibetan medicine was most likely the first truly integrated system of ancient healing science. Tibetan Ayurveda provides a comprehensive guide to the four levels of ancient Tibetan medication with a wealth of traditional health practices and teachings. abundant of the contemporary material on Tibetan medication focuses entirely on herbal medication and acupuncture, Tibetan Ayurveda goes beyond these to appear at other vital types of treatment like Panchakarma for detoxification and rejuvenation and Kum Nye for integrating mind and body. using the source text of the Gyud-Zhi, "The Ambrosial Heart Tantra", Robert Sachs looks at the powerful regenerative therapies that underpin this ancient healing science. He provides clear explanations of their principles and strategies and provides tips on nutrition, exercise, relaxation, rejuvenation, detoxification, yet as on meditation and different spiritual practices. A self-profile take a look at is included to allow readers to work out their own health desires and commence the path toward realizing their full potential for health and well-being.

1. On May 1984, the Chinese Information Center for Occupational Safety and Health was constituted by the former Labor Protection Bureau of Labor and Personnel Ministry and Labor Protection Science Research Institute. The purpose of the Center was to prevent or decrease occupational accidents and diseases in enterprises and mines through collecting, processing, storing and disseminating the domestic and international OSH information so as to protect worker's safety and health in production process, and to serve national macroscopic management in OSH decision-making for safety legislation and inspection. In 1987, the Chinese Information Center for Occupational Safety and Health was formally accepted as a member of ILO-CIS, named ILO-CIS National Center for China. The news was published on No.1 1988, ILO-CIS Bulletin of Safety and Health at Work.
Several years later, the Collaborating Centers of ILO-CIS National Center for China were founded: they were All China Federation of Trade Unions OSH Information and Training Centre (1990), Coal Safety Information and Training Centre (1994).
In the initial establishing stage of ILO-CIS National Center for China, Mr. J•Takala, head of ILO-CIS and Mr. E•Clevenstine, an expert of ILO-CIS, separately visited our Center. And an expert of ILO-CIS National Center for Germany visited the Center and had given more helps during the Center's construction.
After several years of development, the Center has established a small library with more than 10,000 books, of which 50% written in foreign languages (mainly in English, Russian and Japanese), about 300 kinds of Chinese and foreign periodicals (mainly in English, Russian, French and German), including 70 kinds of original foreign periodicals and 20 kinds of abstract of periodicals .
2. In May 1991, the OSH Information and Document Center of Labor Ministry was constituted according to the decision of the Ministry of Labor. It consisted of six departments, which were the Library of the Ministry of Labor, Information Department of Labor Protection Science and Technology Institute, Information Department of Labor Science Research Institute, Information Department of Salary Research Institute and Information Department of International Labor Affairs Research Institute. The OSH Information and Document Center's name for the international cooperation was still ILO-CIS National Center for China.
With the change of office location from Xibahe to Huixin Xijie, the Center covered an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, including the reading room, underground stacks and so on. There are nearly 100,000 books, including 30,000 kinds of books in Chinese and foreign languages, more than 1,000 kinds of periodicals in Chinese and foreign languages as well as a large number of regulations, standards, conference materials and technical reports, thousands of microfiches, CD-ROM reading system and microfiche copy reading system.
3. In 1996, OSH Information and Document Center of Labor Ministry and International Labor Research Institute of Labor Ministry were conjoined and renamed the International Labor Affairs and Information Research Institute of Labor Ministry. But the Center's name for the international cooperation was not changed.
4. As China's government organizations were reformed in 1998, the administrative subordination of ILO-CIS National Center for China has appropriately been changed. The Center became an information department of National Center for Safety Science and Technology Research, which was under the leadership of State Economic and Trade Committee. It was mainly in charge of OSH information services, which included collecting, storing and retrieving relevant documents, books, periodicals and other information at home and abroad, cooperating and contacting with ILO-CIS.
5. Along with the reforms of safety administration institutions in China, the former Safety Science and Technology Research Center of State Economic and Trade Commission was transferred into an institute which was directly subordinated to the State Administration of Work Safety. Soon, Safety Science and Technology Research Center was renamed as China Academy of Safety Science and Technology in 2005. ILO-CIS National Center for China is an information department under the leadership of CASST.

"This is the last of it."
Calder's voice draws my eyes up from the bookshelf I'm attempting to assemble. He's standing in the doorway, holding a cardboard box with the word "Miscellaneous" scrawled across it in Sharpie.
I grin. "Then it's official?"
He meets my smile with one of his own. "It's official."
I leap up and run over to him. He barely has time to drop the box on the counter before I jump into his arms. My arms go around his neck, my legs around his waist. He stumbles back a step, laughing as he holds me up.
"We live together," I whisper. "We really and truly live together."
And before he has the chance to respond, I'm kissing him. It seems only right; after nearly six months of dating, Calder Cunningham and I have finally decided to take things to the next level. A week ago we signed the lease on an apartment together, and tonight, for the first time, we will be calling the same place home.
"Mm," he says against my lips. "What do you say we christen this place?"
He doesn't wait for my answer. He carries me across the room toward the one corner of the apartment that isn't covered in boxes or disassembled furniture. I kiss his cheeks, his jaw, his neck as we move, not even bothered that I'm sweaty and smelly from a long day spent hauling everything we own up three flights of stairs. It doesn't matter where we are or how disgusting I feel—one touch from Calder and I'm lost.
He lowers me to the floor. I dig my fingers into his hair as he presses me down against the carpet.
"Aren't you tired?" I tease.
"Exhausted," he says between playful nips at my neck.
"Or hungry?"
He bites me a little harder. "Starving."
I laugh and tighten my legs around his waist. Oh, yes—I can feel exactly how starved he is.
"You know," I murmur against his ear. "I bought a housewarming gift for you…"
"Did you now?"
He captures my mouth with his own, sucking my bottom lip between his teeth. I shiver and dig my nails into his back, abandoning myself for the moment to the taste of him, the smell of him, the feel of him. How is it possible to want him this much even now? Wasn't this fluttery, head-over-heels sensation supposed to fade months ago?
I pull away from him, panting.
"Your present's in one of the suitcases," I breathe. "I was going to wear it for you tonight."
"Mm," he says, his eyes darkening in pleasure. "Sounds promising."
"It's completely sheer."
"Very, very promising."
I draw in a breath as his lips find my ear. "You know, you're going to have to get off of me if you want to see it."
"Get off? When I already have you right where I want you?" He grinds against me, drawing a gasp from my lungs. "The way I see it, this place has four rooms—"
"Five if you count the bathroom."
"—and I plan on having you in every one of them before the night is over." He moves against me again, then leans down to whisper directly in my ear. "Bathroom last. I have a feeling we're both going to need a nice long shower."
I shiver. My hands are already clawing at his shirt. Screw the lingerie. There will be plenty of nights to dress up for him.
Calder chuckles and helps me pull the T-shirt over his head. His chest is slick with perspiration, but I don't care. It only enhances his natural scent, and I bury my face in the place where his neck meets his shoulder, placing kisses along the muscles there.
"I have a present for you, too," he says.
"You mean the one between your legs?"
He grins. "That too. But I meant something else." His hands are sliding down my body, over my breasts and toward my waist. "I've been trying to figure out how to give it to you."
I pause in my explorations of his neck. "Is it that complicated?"
"You have no idea."
I bite my lip. Now I'm extra intrigued.
"It can't be that difficult," I say lightly. "Just bring it here and hand it to me."
"Oh, I plan on it." His eyes gleam, and the corner of his mouth quirks up. "But not yet. Right now, I have something else in mind."
I laugh, but the sound twists into a moan as he grinds his pelvis against me yet another time.
"Tease," I say. "Do you have a gift for me or not?"
"I do." He slides one of his hands between us. "But you're going to have to earn it first."
His fingers work the button of my tattered jeans. I loosen the grip of my legs slightly to give him easier access. My knee hits one of the cardboard boxes beside us, but neither of us stops. I press my fingers against his back and groan as his hand finds its way down inside my pants. His finger brushes against my clit, and my leg jerks. My knee slams into the cardboard box once again, toppling it over, but I don't care. I'm not sure Calder notices at all.
"Welcome home," he whispers as he slides his finger between my legs.
Home. We're both home. After all the ups and downs we've encountered, I can hardly believe we're here. There were times I thought that despite our undeniable passion for each other, we'd never be able to get past our differences. But here we are. Home.
Calder watches the emotions play across my face. His lust-darkened eyes soften slightly.
"What are you thinking?" he asks.
I close my eyes. "That I'm so lucky to have you."
To think that I once hated this man—that I blamed him for so many things without knowing the true depth of the struggles he faced. We've learned, with time, to find strength in each other, to trust each other and work through the rough times together. Not that there aren't still bumps now and again. I'm still waiting for my dad to come fully around; he's had a harder time forgiving Calder for what he did to the Frazer Center for the Arts—and for what he believes Calder did to me. I still catch Dad eyeing him sidelong from time to time, for all that Calder treats me like the most precious thing in all the world.
He traces the line of my nose. I can feel his gaze on me even through my closed eyes.
"I think you have it wrong," he murmurs. "I'm lucky to have you."
I don't have to see his face to know what he's feeling. I was the only one there to see him fall apart after his father's death. His own sister—the only flesh-and-blood relative he still has on this earth—took off to the other side of the world after the funeral. I watched him struggle with his grief and the loss of the only world he'd ever known. I watched him crumble beneath the weight of it, and I watched him climb out again, all the stronger.Source: www.StudyNovels.com

As was originally planned, the Centennial of Adowa was celebrated
on Saturday, March 16 in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was held on the
premise of MaCalster College in St. Paul. The turn out was
unprecedented in the Twin-Ciities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
These two cities have long remained important centers for anti-
Ethiopian unity forces particularly OLF and TPLF/EPLF.
Ethiopians of all ages and walks of life flocked in droves to the
auditorium of this private college starting at noon. Most of the
ladies were attired in the ever beautiful shema dresses. What was
unusual, at least for me, was how the Ethiopian flag has now
become the main "tibeb" to decorate the shema dresses. There were
a group of women and young girls who were in almost identical
flag-edged shema filling nearly the full length of one of middle rows
of the big auditorium. They not only added beauty to the occasion
by their elegant presence but they also seemed to have made a
deliberate political statement regarding their Ethiopian identity. I
read pride and self-assurance in the way they conducted
themselves. And I wispered to myself, bravo, ladies!
The festivities was opened by a welcoming statement by the
chairman of the Organizing Committeee, Ato Merha Tibebu. A
veteran of the Maichew battle and a patriot during the second
phase invasion of the Italian fascists, Ato Ersa Adada, made a
moving speech about both Adowa and Maichew battles. The
elderly gentelman, particularly lamented the fact that no national
monument bearing the names of those who fell in Adowa and
Maichew was erected in Addis Ababa. He urged the gathering to
take the issue very seriously and make financial contributions to
erect a monument (such as the Vietnam Memorial Wall in
Washington, D.C.) in a square in Addis bearing the names of those
who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country in Adowa. He
suggested the urgent collection of the names of the fallen heros
from old people such as himself, before such a group of Ethiopians
disappear from the scene. Ato Ersa made a donation of $20 toward
the monument project.
The keynote address was delivered by Prof. Getachew Haile. In his
statement, Prof. Getachew expressed how Ethiopians in Minnesota
are contributing to the struggle for national liberation. In this
regard, he noted with satisfaction how the two leading pro-unity
Ethiopian publications MORESH as well as ETHIOPIAN REGISTER
are being published in Minnesota.
I will do injustice if I attempt to summarize the rather elaborate
explanation Prof. Getachew gave not only on the history of the
Adowa battle but much importantly on the implications of the
victory of Adowa to the current crisis we face in Ethiopia. The
multi-ethnic and multi-religous composition of the participants of
the Adowa campaign was profusely underscored by him. One point
he raised and which I found to be quite interesting was the need for
pro-unity Oromos to organize themselves under an ethnic
organization so as to successfully counter the OLF.
Prof Getachew observed that many pro-unity Oromos are quite
active in multi-ethnic political parties. However, such Oromos have
not been able to successfully challenge OLF's claims and
misguided programs since they do not have a distictly pro-unity
Oromo organization. Although organizing oneself in non-ethnic
parties is very important, prof. Getachew, observed that the political
cost of not challengnig OLF in its own game is becoming too much.
He, therefore, suggested that it may be necessary for Oromos who
support Ethiopian unity, to consider organizing themselves on
ethnic lines so that there will be another organization that may
speak on behalf of the large majority of Ethiopian Oromos who
support Ethiopian unity. Currently only OLF claims to represent
After the keynote speech a panel discussion followed. The
panelists included distiguished Ethiopian, African and African-
American scholars and historians. This part of the activity was
chaired by Pro. Amde-Michael Habte. Prof. Amde is a professor of
Mass Communication at St. Cloud State Univrsity. Dr. Solomon
Gashaw of the University of Minnesota, spoke on the "Implications
of Adowa to Contemporary Politics in Ethiopia." Dr. Solomon
highlighted the multi-ethnic nature of the Adowa struggle and
alluded how the salvation to Ethiopia from current problems may lie
in the same approach. Dr. Peter F. Nayenga, a Ugandan, made a
speech on "the significance of Adowa to the Anti-Colonial
Movement" while Dr. Mahmoud El-Kati, an African-American,
spoke on "Adowa and Black Nationalists."
A local band, Daniel Asfaw and Wossen Tsegaws', as well as a
cultural musical troupe of the Ethiopian Students Association in
the University of Minnesota provided entertainment. The
traditional ethnic dances performed by the students' musical group
was particularly both entertaining as well as more fitting to the
multi-ethinc recurring theme of the occassion. Earlier there was a
slide show on Ethiopian civilization by Ms Firedengel.
Adowa continues to inspire and unify Ethiopians even 100 years
later. One hopes that that spirit is captured and put to good use for
overcoming current difficulties. I don't see a more fitting mechanism
other than forming a UF to immortalize teh Adowa spirit.

"Last Winter, We Parted," the third novel by Japan's Fuminori Nakamura to appear in English, is crime fiction that pushes past the bounds of genre, occupying its own nightmare realm.
The book begins with its narrator, an unnamed writer, interviewing a convicted killer in a prison visiting room; like Hannibal Lecter, the murderer is emotionless, nearly inhuman, speaking from behind a sheet of "transparent acrylic glass."
His crime, which involved burning two women alive so he could photograph their dying, is inspired by Ry¿nosuke Akutagawa's 1918 story "Hell Screen," a classic of Japanese literature, "the tale of a crazed painter, who watches as his own daughter literally burns to death, and then he paints the scene." More than once, Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" comes up: "After he completed his nonfiction novel," an editor explains to the writer, "he couldn't write another decent piece of work."
The point — indeed, the driving concept of this sharp and disturbing novel — is that there is an irresolvable gap between life and artifice, especially in regard to creativity. "Why, when a 'subject' is right in front of us," the killer wonders, "are we only capable of recognizing, of grasping, that one small part we see?"
And yet, lest this make "Last Winter, We Parted" sound derivative, it is dark and edgy, original and bold.
Nakamura is highly regarded in Japanese literary circles; he has won the ¿e Prize and the Akutagawa Prize. He's also published 10 novels and three story collections since 2003, a pace that suggests the pressures of the marketplace.
Such tensions — between the zone of the interior and external expectation — converge in "Last Winter, We Parted," which deals with, among other subjects, the challenges of making art, real art, in a culture in which it is difficult to feel anything. It's no coincidence that one of the novel's subplots involves a shadowy group known as K2, made up of men who have commissioned life-size dolls of their departed loved ones — sisters, lovers, fetish objects — as a way of delaying, or denying, the inevitability of loss.
At the center of this is the writer, who has been pressed into working on a book he does not want to write. His role is to uncover what has happened, to parse the line between reality and imitation, although the more we read, the more we realize he is being played from every side.
Intercut with his account are archival documents — letters, transcripts, diaries, descriptions of films or images — that deepen, rather than clarify, the mystery. These include texts written by the murderer and others (including the Twitter feed of one of his victims), a device that allows their voices to infiltrate the narrative.
"For most people," the killer writes, "things are only ever permissible inside their own mind. The palatable dark places. Shady areas beyond censure. If people can accept those kinds of things, don't you think they'd want to read about whatever that might be for you?"
Nakamura is playing here, of course, commenting on the book he is writing by having his character comment on the book within that book, the book his narrator is unable to finish, confounded as he is by the story he is trying (not) to tell. This is the part of the pleasure of the novel, that it offers not one but a series of overlapping sensibilities, telling us not only what took place but also why. Nakamura's purpose is less investigative than psychological, an exploration of those "palatable dark places" that exist in everyone. No one is above suspicion, but at the same time, no one is fully culpable — or perhaps it is more accurate to say we all are.
What Nakamura's characters seek is authenticity, even as it eludes their grasp. "His desires were all imitations of someone else," someone observes of the murderer. "That is to say, there was nothing inside him." His actions, then — first his obsession with photography, with getting at the essence of the world by stopping, somehow, its relentless motion, and later the two deaths, which provoke a different sort of stillness — can be read as increasingly desperate attempts to connect.
The same might be said about any of the others: the writer, who becomes increasingly enmeshed in his subject's life, to the point of neglecting his responsibilities; the killer's sister, who is menacing and desolate; the editor, who has motives of his own. Nothing is as it appears.
"Within the monster I had become," Nakamura writes, "the part of me that retained a trace of humanity may have dimmed any memory as a means of protecting myself. Then again, I may just be maintaining a certain outward appearance. But, you know, that's a lie." In the end, this turns the story inward, like an ouroboros devouring its tail.
"I decided to create the 'novel,'" the editor insists. "… It would be a strange mix of archived materials and fiction chapters." That he is (again) referencing the work we're reading is the point. By making it seem as if this were a true story, or based on a true story, Nakamura further effaces the line between reality and invention, suggesting that, on the inside anyway, they are one and the same.
In that sense, "Last Winter, We Parted" most recalls Seich¿ Matsumoto — especially "Pro Bono," his 1961 thriller about a woman trying to help her brother, charged with murder although he may not be to blame. For Nakamura, like Matsumoto, guilt or innocence is not the issue; we are corrupted, complicit, just by living in society. The ties that bind, in other words, are rules beyond our making, rules that distance us not only from each other but also from ourselves.
"What is inside each person," the writer tells us, "the true desire the people aren't even aware of … It's terrible but that was when I figured it all out."

Humanidad del hombre, divinidad de Dios
CATEGORY: Cristología
CATEGORY: Español
In this book Vergote presents a psychological, anthropological, and religious analysis of contemporary humanity. He considers the human being to be a personal being in relationship, endowed with language and a profound yearning for happiness, capable of loving and offering himself to others; but at the same time, conscious of a divine mystery that transcends him and cannot be identified with precision. According to the writer, philosophical reason ignores the personal and personalizing God, but, in some way, prepares us for understanding him. Informed by some of the best studies on the subject, Vergote explores the historic figure of Jesus, at times giving him first-person voice as the Son of God and thus permitting the reader to relate more personally with the first disciples who, shortly after Jesus' death, were convinced of his divine exaltation and founded the new monotheist community.
Antoine Vergote was born in Belgium in 1921. He is a professor at Louvain University and was a disciple of Jacques Lacan. A scholar in psychoanalysis, philosophy and theology, Vergote has devoted himself to the analysis of the religious phenomenon as it impacts modern man in the midst of his traumas and contradictions. He has written numerous books and has been particularly interested in the relationship between psychoanalysis, anthropology, and Christian faith. As a co-founder of the Belgian School of Psychoanalysis, he has attempted to refute those who view religion as a neurosis by showing that the tools of psychoanalysis can be used to elicit an experience of compassion and sensitivity capable of revealing truth and of giving meaning to human history as reflected in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

Do you remember the first time you used the rewind function on your tv remote? The ability to pause, rewind, and play live tv on demand gave you a level of control you'd never had before. No longer were you missing important moments due to household interruptions or being out of the room when your favorite program came back on. While the rewind function is great in our daily lives, when it comes to customer conversations, backtracking isn't such a good thing. When customers are forced to repeat portions of their conversation with your engagement specialists (agents), they become frustrated and disengaged. So how do you press pause on this bad customer service habit? Ask insightful questions.
When speaking with your customers, it's imperative that engagement specialists ask insightful questions to help understand their pain points, diagnose the problem, and craft an appropriate resolution. For example, asking clarifying questions can help you uncover the real intent behind what the customer initially said while exploratory questions help identify root wants or needs. Different types of questions will lead to different outcomes, but asking insightful questions will ultimately help the engagement specialist gather high quality information about both the customer's situation and the context (want, need, or issue) behind the interaction. Taking time to ask the right questions also helps engagement specialists gain a broader understanding of the situation by challenging assumptions and identifying connections between individual issues. From there, engagement specialists can narrow their focus to solve the real problem at hand.
Of course, none of this is really possible without first establishing trust, which we discussed in our previous blog. If customers don't trust the engagement specialist they are interacting with, they are less likely to disclose important details about the real motivations behind their reasons for contacting you. As you can see, the communication skills of the specialist are critically important. Their ability to quickly establish credibility, the questions they ask, and how they frame the conversation will have a substantial impact on the customer's perception of your brand. To help your company elevate dialogue and ask the questions that really matter, follow these three simple tips:
A concern we often hear when talking about dialogue is its impact on Average Handle Time (AHT), with the mistaken assumption that a transactional conversation is efficient while dialogue is costly. The concern stems from a misunderstanding that dialogue is just transaction conversation with chit chat peppered throughout rather than viewing dialogue as an adaptation to conversational needs. Throughout our decades of scientific research, we've found that conversational techniques such as asking insightful questions actually reduce the likelihood of conversational backtracking, which reduces handle time. Asking insightful questions also helps engagement specialists get to the root cause of the issue faster, which also reduces handle time. And not only does it decrease handle time, asking insightful questions will also help reduce repeat calls because you're diagnosing and treating the problem instead of the symptoms, which is truly a win win for everyone.
STARTEK recently completed a study involving 17,000 calls and found the engagement specialist's ability to engage in the habits of dialogue had no negative impact on AHT.
If your engagement specialists are treating symptoms instead of problems, trying to end calls too quickly, or using pre-scripted and rehearsed statements, it could be time to take back control of your contact center.

The power of print - first results of the Creatura meta-analysis on the advertising effect of print and print finishes
The Creatura meta-analysis "The Power of Print" presents the latest research findings in a manner that is easy to understand and provides practical tips and ideas on how marketers can optimize the advertising impact of print.
It answers the following fundamental questions: What do we know about the advertising impact of print in the digital age? Why does print still play a unique role in a media mix when it comes to building up brand trust? How does print affect how much attention people pay? How does print improve how well people remember adverts and the credibility of brands? How does print influence customer value perception and whether people are prepared to make a purchase at the point of sale?
In order to achieve this target, it is absolutely imperative that print is considered more as a concept in media planning. Print is no longer just a logistics channel for information, but about reaching recipients and achieving a particular effect through the medium, the information it's providing and the way that information is presented.

The books prominent theme is the danger that mans intelligence poses to himself. Man is capable of inventing all sorts of ways to destroy the planet, but not rational enough to control these means. Crichton believes that mans capacity for critical thinking breaks down too easily under stress. In the book, the army succeeds in bringing an alien bacterium to earth in the hopes of supplementing its biological weapons program. But once the "Scoop" satellite lands, the army cannot control the bacteria and its wipes out an entire town.
Despite the most elaborate preparations and all the precautions imaginable, the Wildfire team almost does more harm than good by detonating a nuclear device and giving Andromeda the energy it needs to further reproduce. In the end, it is not mans ingenuity or technology that saves the country form disaster; Andromeda just happens to mutate into a form harmless to humans.
For this book, Crichton adopts a very cold, detached, scientific approach to the material. All the description is done in a very matter-of-fact tone, including even the characters. The only superfluous material in the book is the multiple explanations of past scientific theories or discoveries intended to enhance the clinical approach that pervades the novel. In terms of character development we get only what is necessary to advance the plot.
All this gives the book a very serious mood that makes it oddly convincing. This is partly due to the gravity of the events being described, but also due to the expert way in which Crichton supports his fictional storyline with actual scientific research. There are times during the book when the combination of the elements is so convincing that the reader may wonder to himself if the Andromeda Strain incident actually occurred.

Offshore wind contractor Van Oord says it has acquired the offshore wind activities of Bilfinger Marine & Offshore Systems GmbH, a German company active in the engineering, construction and installation of foundations for offshore wind farms and harbor construction.
According to Van Oord, the agreement covers the acquisition of assets and employees related to the offshore wind activities – and will give a strategic boost to Van Oord's offshore wind projects business unit.
The contractor expects acquisition will be finalized after approval from the Bundeskartellamt, the German competition authority.
In addition to this acquisition, Van Oord will be investing in a significant modification of its installation vessel Aeolus. The current crane, which has a lifting capacity of 900 tons, will be replaced by a crane with a lifting capacity of 1,600 tons.
At the same time, the transport capacity will be extended, which will enable Van Oord to continue to install the increasingly larger foundations and heavier turbines at wind farms. Van Oord says the crane has been ordered from heavy installation equipment specialist Huisman and that the modification of the Aeolus will be completed in early 2018.
In 2017, Van Oord will start the installation of the foundations of the Arkona offshore wind farm project for E.ON in Germany and is contracted by DONG Energy on the installation of the foundations for the Walney wind farm project in the U.K.

"A huge challenge ahead..." Media & PR Dept
Although Jodie Ounsley led the scoring board with a hand full of tries, the hosts proved to be a reckoning force, which gave them the winning result at the end of a wet day!
England Deaf Womens played with such vigour and bravery, and almost pulled off a win to add to their unbeaten record.
Considering the team hardly play together as a team regularly, just show there is much talent in the camp, and hopefully the next game in March will allow them to reflect on the todays performance and be prepared for their game on March 24th 2018 against Preston Grasshoppers Ladies
England Deaf Rugby Women XV travel to Portsmouth on 20th January 2018
On Saturday 20th January 2018, England Deaf Women's Development are hosted by Portsmouth Rugby Club to play their Ladies Team, known as Portsmouth Valkyries.
Kick Off is at 2pm, and the game will be Live Streamed from around 1.45pm.
England Deaf Rugby is pleased to announce that England Deaf Women's Development Squad will be playing its first demanding game of 2018, against Portsmouth Valkyries who are following a successful 2016/17 Season, with promotion to Women's National Challenge (NC) South East-West 1 for 2017/18.
The Valkyries have so far played 8 league fixtures at this higher level, winning 6, drawing 1, and losing 1, placing them as League Leaders at the top of NC South East West 1, which is Level 4 in the English Women's game.
Our fans will remember that the England Squad played against a level 4 ladies side last year, Rugby Lionesses, who play NC Midlands 1, and that was a high scoring, fast, and entertaining game from both sides, with England running out eventual winners 36-20, in a game that could have gone either way.
We're planning to bring you the game live from the side of the pitch, from 1.45pm, with highlights posted on the England Deaf YouTube Channel later on. Fingers crossed on the weather this time, so we can watch our ladies in action!!!Updated 23:32 - 22 Jan 2018 by Sean Fletcher
