Описание: TENACITY is the story about the life experiences of the author, Jos Rolando Villarreal, J.D. It is an American immigration story that reflects the life stories of many immigrants who came, and continue to come from all parts of the world, to the United States of America seeking to realize the American Dream.What do present-day immigrants confront when they reach the USA and commence to navigate their journey in seeking the American dream as they define it? How can present-day immigrants to the USA confront a complex cultural system that causes bewilderment, confusion, and perplexity that on occasion hinders and impedes progress towards success? Jos Rolando Villarreal answers these challenging questions by presenting his own immigration story.American immigration life stories are basically about individuals who came or were brought to the United States out of economic necessity, hunger for better opportunities, or even worse, seeking asylum due to oppression in their country. The author's story is no different. While his life story reflects an unpleasantly rough, and at times severely cruel reality that most immigrants have confronted for centuries, it is also a story of resilience. It is a story about immigration, migration, navigation, and adaptation to change in order to realize the American dream. The author was terco (determined) and he had the tenacity to confront and overcome the myriad harsh realities and barriers faced by immigrants in order to navigate successfully toward the American dream. He feels content that he realized the American dream, as he defines it, while striving to be successful as a son, husband, father, grandfather, attorney, administrator, adjunct college professor, city mayor, staff training consultant, and best of all, as an American citizen.The author gives specific historical references to his experiences facing adversity in the areas of institutional racism in education, the criminal justice system, economics, and politics. The author gives special attention to the area of leadership development tools, such as conflict resolution and synergy, which can be used to enhance one's capacity to navigate the aforementioned adversarial situations.Being an American immigrant is a state of mind, a tangle of conundrums and contradictions, but with the end goal of becoming an American in the most transparent and purest sense. From the various identity labels of a documented immigrant, Mexican, Mexican-American, Chicano, Latino, or Hispanic, the author emerges as a quintessential American, proud of his Mexican heritage. His primary intent in writing this book is to inspire immigrants, documented and undocumented, and by extension to anyone who is related to immigrants or works with immigrants. The secondary purpose of this book is to leave a valuable legacy to his family, children, grandchildren. Through the use of memoirs of leadership and cultural competence, the author shows others how to successfully navigate the journey in the USA as immigrants.This book culminates in the author's presentation of highly effective leadership tools which can be utilized by the reader in the pursuit of the American dream, however that dream is defined.

Bondkeepers and Bloodhunters have been fighting since the beginning of time.
The firsts, the protector of an ancient and powerful bond with the animals, which in exchange have given them special abilities.
The seconds, always been jealous of these powers, are strong believers that animals are inferior beings, meat to hunt and eat, nothing more.
This never-ending war comes to a halt when the Bloodhunters find a way to break these specials bonds using black magic. Without their animals, called Totums, the Bondkeepers also lose their super powers. All seems lost. The Bloodhunters have won. Or at least that was what everyone believed until, two generations after, the bonds are starting to form again ...
Ryan and Sarah belong to the first generation who is regaining the bonds but they know nothing about this. All they know is that they have to reach Animalia, a training camp for Bondkeepers where they can find which one is their Totum and develop their powers.
Unfortunately, the Bloodhunters won't let this happen and they will do anything to stop them.

Описание: Areas with high agricultural potential include arid zones, which make up 43% of the worlds total area. In these areas the scarce precipitation and the high salinity of the soils represent a limitation for the development of conventional agriculture. For this reason, it is essential to guide the efforts of research to generate agricultural technologies that allow us to optimize the productivity of those areas. Halophytes have a wide diversity of plant forms and have been regarded as a rich source of potential new crops.Next, the nutritional profile of four promising species of chenopodiaceae family are collected from saline areas of Iran were evaluted by standard methods. The nutrient content of four halophyte plants indicate that they have high nutritive and dietary values, so these medicinal plants can be used as a major source of minerals and natural nutrients in food and fodder, based on their crude protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals in sufficient amount.The physiological mechanisms underlying the ability of halophytes to grow well under saline soils are explored. Additionally, several theories of growth stimulation mechanisms advocated in the past and presumed mechanisms of growth stimulation are discussed in the context of the latest reports.The authors go on to review the potential of halophytes for various uses in the Mediterranean area and assess how a knowledge of their cellular machinery can help to determine the best species and genotypes for their applied uses.Following this, the ancient and present-day uses of halophytes in Portugal are presented and discussed, focusing on their traditional uses and biological activities. The review concludes by suggesting future requirements and perspectives for further exploitation of these species within the context of sustainability and climate change.In southern parts of Iran for combating dust storm, people have started growing halophyte plants and trees such as Tamarix with drainage water. C. tubulosa which is collected from the central plateau of Iran has shown a high amount of K, Mg, S, Ca and P and antioxidant capacity as well as six important phenylethanoid glycoside substrates. Cistanche could be recommended to improve the economy of the area and employment, which can also encourage the local people to plant more trees and protect them.

Описание: Preface What you have before you is an unusual book as it is the result of multiple layers of artistic endeavor. It is an interpretation of a live performance of an operatic adaption of a classic poem written and illustrated by William Blake. So what does that mean? Well, the poem, composed between 1788 - 1790 was etched in relief on copper with illustrations by Blake himself. These originals are reproduced on the last pages of this book in black and white and in color on the back cover. In 2011 I proposed to Wilton's Music Hall in London a stage adaptation of 'The Book of Thel' and asked Rolando Macrini if he would compose music for the show. What followed was several weeks in Italy where I ate and drank while Rolando dreamed the voice of Thel, head wedged between headphones and fingers chiseling away at the piano. Of course, I had my work cut out for me when I returned to London to cast the show, build puppet lilies and clouds and direct it for the stage. Then in 2016 Rolando decided he wanted to expand Thel into a much grander opera and he returned to his piano reworking the composition over the course of a year. In 2017, with the help of La Mama Umbria he staged a choral concert for the Spoleto Festival with singers and an orchestra conducted by Claudio Scarabottini. Not satisfied to simply have subtitles in Italian he asked visual artist Jacobo Maran to respond to Blake's visual imagery with imagery of his own which integrated the translated and English text. These would serve as the subtitles. The result of his efforts were then projected on a large screen behind the singers and orchestra. These fantastic images and the music for the opera make up the bulk of his book. It may seem strange at times that there are multiple images for the same piece of text. It must be taken in to consideration, however, by the reader, that the amount of time necessary to play and sing the music meant multiple images were needed to compliment the shifting narrative. This also gave the audience the time to slowly read Blake's often complicated and metaphorical text. I hope you enjoy this visually orchestrated journey into our interpretation of Blake's Vales of Har. Peter S. Case March 13, 2018
