The Visser Chronicles
1 Animorphs Chronicles 3 Visser K.A. Applegate *Converted to EBook by asmodeus *edited by Dace k 2 Prologue “Honey?” No answer. My husband was watching a game on television. He was preoccupied. “Honey?” I repeated, adding more urgency to my tone of voice. He looked over. Smiled sheepishly. “What’s up?” “Marco’s fever is down. I think he’s basically over this thing. He’s asleep. Anyway, I was thinking of getting some fresh air.” He muted the television. “Good idea. It’s tough when they’re sick, huh? Kids. He’s okay, though, huh?” “It’s just a virus.” “Yeah, well, take some time, you’ve been carrying the load. And if you’re going to the store- “ “Actually, I think I’ll go down to the marina.” He laughed and shook his head. “Ever since you bought that boat… I think Marco has some competition as the favorite child in this household.” He frowned. “You’re not taking it out, are you? Looks kind of gloomy out.” I made a smile. “Just want to make sure it’s well secured, check the ropes and all.” He was back with the game. He winced at some error made by his preferred team. “Uh-huh. Okay.” I stepped back, turned, and walked down the hall. The door to Marco’s room was ajar. I paused to look inside. I almost couldn’t do otherwise because the other voice in my head, the beaten-down, repressed human voice, was alive and screaming and screaming at me, begging me, pleading <No! No! No!> Marco was still asleep. -
Governing New Guinea New
Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

A World Without the Novel
CONTINENTAL THOUGHT & THEORY: A JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM (What does it mean to) Think the Novel? Volume 2 | Issue 3: The Novel 70-90 | ISSN: 2463-333X A World without the Novel Roland Végső The primary objective of the essay is to draw the consequences of a truly consistent deployment of the utopian desire that animates Georg Lukács’s The Theory of the Novel. On the one hand, it is quite evident that for Lukács the theory of the novel is a utopian means of the destruction of the novel form itself. On the other hand, however, I argue that Lukács also shows that this utopian desire for the destruction of the novel form is in reality an essential component of the novel form itself. As a result, the novel form is by definition an attempt to imagine what from the perspective of this form remains unimaginable: a world without the novel. The contemporary relevance of this argument, however, remains obscured until we free it from one of Lukács’s basic metaphysical limitations: we must question the central status of the category of the “world” for the theory of the novel. The idea of the “novel” and the idea of the “world” seem to attract each other with an unusually strong force.1 Regardless of whether we conceive of this relation as a natural consequence of our metaphysical realities or a never quite accomplished historical destiny, the two concepts seem to mirror each other in infinitely complex ways. In fact, 70 CONTINENTAL THOUGHT & THEORY: A JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM (What does it mean to) Think the Novel? the two categories have been orbiting each other for so long now that today we find it hard to fully tell them apart. -
The Biology and Ecology of Cat Fleas and Advancements in Their Pest Management: a Review
insects Review The Biology and Ecology of Cat Fleas and Advancements in Their Pest Management: A Review Michael K. Rust ID Department of Entomology, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-951-827-5327 Academic Editors: Changlu Wang and Chow-Yang Lee Received: 7 August 2017; Accepted: 18 October 2017; Published: 27 October 2017 Abstract: The cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché) is the most important ectoparasite of domestic cats and dogs worldwide. It has been two decades since the last comprehensive review concerning the biology and ecology of C. f. felis and its management. Since then there have been major advances in our understanding of the diseases associated with C. f. felis and their implications for humans and their pets. Two rickettsial diseases, flea-borne spotted fever and murine typhus, have been identified in domestic animal populations and cat fleas. Cat fleas are the primary vector of Bartonella henselae (cat scratch fever) with the spread of the bacteria when flea feces are scratched in to bites or wounds. Flea allergic dermatitis (FAD) common in dogs and cats has been successfully treated and tapeworm infestations prevented with a number of new products being used to control fleas. There has been a continuous development of new products with novel chemistries that have focused on increased convenience and the control of fleas and other arthropod ectoparasites. The possibility of feral animals serving as potential reservoirs for flea infestations has taken on additional importance because of the lack of effective environmental controls in recent years.

B. cenocepa- cia is known for its ability to cause lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis and it possesses a large 8 Mb multireplicon genome encoding a wide array of pathogenicity and fitness genes. Transcriptomic profiling across nine growth conditions was performed to identify the global gene expression changes made when B. cenocepacia changes niches from an environmental lifestyle to infection. In comparison to exponential growth, the results demonstrated that B. cenocepacia changes expression of over one-quarter of its genome during conditions of growth arrest, stationary phase and surprisingly, under reduced oxygen concentrations (6% instead of 20.9% normal atmospheric conditions). Multiple virulence factors are upregulated during these growth arrest conditions. -
The Role of Adaptive Plasticity in a Major Evolutionary Transition
Functional Blackwell Publishing Ltd Ecology 2007 The role of adaptive plasticity in a major evolutionary 21, 1154–1161 transition: early aquatic experience affects locomotor performance of terrestrial snakes F. AUBRET,*† X. BONNET‡ and R. SHINE* *University of Sydney, Biological Sciences A08, 2006 New South Wales, Australia, ‡Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé, CNRS, 79360 Villiers en Bois, France Summary 1. Many phylogenetic lineages of animals have undergone major habitat transitions, stimulating dramatic phenotypic changes as adaptations to the novel environment. Although most such traits clearly reflect genetic modification, phenotypic plasticity may have been significant in the initial transition between habitat types. 2. Elapid snakes show multiple phylogenetic shifts from terrestrial to aquatic life. We raised young tigersnakes (a terrestrial taxon closely related to sea-snakes) in either a terrestrial or aquatic environment for a 5-month period. 3. The snakes raised in water were able to swim 26% faster, but crawled 36% more slowly, than did their terrestrially-raised siblings. A full stomach impaired locomotor performance, but snakes were less impaired when tested in the environment in which they had been raised. 4. Thus, adaptively plastic responses to local environments may have facilitated aquatic performance (and impaired terrestrial performance) in ancestral snakes as they shifted from terrestrial to aquatic existence. 5. Such plasticity may have influenced the rate or route of this evolutionary transition between habitats, and should be considered when comparing habitat-specific locomotor abilities of present-day aquatic and terrestrial species. key-words: development, elapid, locomotion, phenotype Functional Ecology (2007) 21, 1154–1161 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2435.2007.01310.x that vary over small spatial and temporal scales. -

Supheert 18-04-2017 14,519 words Bridging the reading gap: An Exploratory Study into the Possibilities of Graphic Novels for Dutch teachers of English in Secondary Education. 2 Abstract Dutch English as a foreign language education faces two challenging developments, namely the gap between the lingual school culture and the visual popular culture, and the transition from the lower forms to the upper forms marks a sudden shift from reading education to literature education. Secondary school pupils do not read less, but they read differently. This study argues that the graphic novel is a perfect tool that can bridge the gap between the two cultures and between the more reader-oriented lower years and more culture-oriented upper years. This study attempted to map the educational possibilities of the graphic novel for teachers in Dutch EFL education and was carried out in two third-year classes at a secondary school in the Netherlands. First, results were gathered from four third-year students who provided insights that were helpful for designing the materials and lessons. Subsequently, one havo and one vwo class participated in four lessons that used four graphic novels and thirteen different exercises. Interviews and questionnaires were used to gather the results. This study found that the success of the graphic novel is entirely dependent on the way it is implemented. Interesting results are that female participants enjoyed the exercises more and that the difficulty level of the graphic novels and exercises did not have an effect. -
