This week I would like to clear up one of the major misconceptions surrounding our Conservative Government's decision to prorogue Parliament until March 3rd.
Almost a year ago, our Government introduced Canada's Economic Action Plan, it included one of the most comprehensive stimulus packages in the industrialized world. Today, all of the stimulus and budget measures have been adopted and implemented.
While the continued delivery of our Economic Action Plan remains a top priority, the fact is that the economic landscape has changed in the last twelve months. Now is the time to consult with Canadians, recalibrate our agenda and set new priorities.
That was the purpose of prorogation – a purpose entirely consistent with the past practice of all federal governments, having been used 104 times before. This does not mean that MPs get an extended Christmas vacation or that the business of governing has come to a sudden halt. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
The House of Commons is but one element of running a Government and representing constituents. Regardless of what the Opposition says, the business of governing continues. As Government House Leader, I will be working tirelessly with my Cabinet colleagues in preparation for the re-opening of Parliament.
Cabinet and Treasury Board meetings are still being held on a regular basis. We are preparing a comprehensive legislative agenda that reflects the economic changes we are witnessing. And we are ensuring that federal funding continues to flow to the organizations and individuals who need it.
I will also be spending this time meeting with stakeholders and business representatives to discuss the priorities they envision for the months and years ahead. In fact, I spent this past weekend meeting with provincial officials, power producers, mining industry representatives, and various stakeholders to discuss development in British Columbia.
As always, the doors to my constituency offices in Fort St. John and Prince George are open, providing the same level of service you have come to know and expect. My staff is always more than willing to help in any way they can with passport applications, ecoENERGY inquiries, and questions about Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, and Immigration, just to name a few.
I am looking forward to having the opportunity to spend more time in the riding where I will be able to meet face to face with more of my constituents, whether through the day-to-day operations at the constituency office or through my travels in the riding. This will continue to include meeting with local mayors, councillors, and community leaders to identify key priorities for our region.
On another note, we have all watched in shock as the devastating images of Haiti have filled our television and newspapers over the past week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haitian people as they pick up the pieces that the earthquake has left behind.
For those of you who wish to help, our Government has created the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund and will match individual donations to a registered Canadian charitable organization up to a total of $50 million.

Cauldron Black Ram are a band from Australia that plays a mixture of black, doom, sludge and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2012 ep "The Poisoner" which was released by Abysmal Sounds.
Drums range from slow to mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being used at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming that combines influences from black, sludge, doom, thrash and death metal to create a sound of their own along with some dark sounding melodies while the lead guitars are very primitive sounding black/death metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are a mixture of black/thrash style growls, high pitched screams and shouting gang vocals along with a brief use of spoken word ritualistic parts, while the lyrics cover occult, dark and horror themes, as for the production it has a very dark, rw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Cauldron Black Ram are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Poisoner" and "Infernal Interjections". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Our local-yokel newspaper, the Bainbridge Review, which appears twice a week in our community, has recently adopted a once-weekly production cycle. Meanwhile, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has gone on the block on the other side of the Puget Sound, and if they don't sell the paper, they'll stop production and "live" on the web. It is no longer unthinkable to imagine The New York Times going under.
This really isn't "news," so to speak. The decline of the newspaper as a media presence has been apparent for a good while now. Who's to blame? Bloggers? Americans? Reporters? Editors? The economy? The president?
Probably all of these. And none of these.
We're at a crossroads in the Information Age.
• Consumers have become electronically savvy and demand several different ways to download packages of the information they most want.
• This creates an expensive learning curve for the media, which would like to meet the needs of its consumers while still being able to pay its bills, yet it functions on a pre-web model that's grown increasingly irrelevant.
• Competition is more fierce than ever before: the Internet makes it possible for anyone to download customized, packaged content that's freely accessible to news consumers.
There's something beautifully democratic about these developments. And I think it's that beautifully democratic thing that's going to tip the scales in favor of content development by independent journalists working the arena of digital media.
In fact, choosing to report as a digital journalist may become one of the best ways for a writer to make a difference in the world. Think of all the media outlets still looking for content:
So-called "newspapers" will continue to be called "newspapers" even as they move off the paper diet and onto the web (and we'll have to explain to our children that "in the olden days, the news came to you on several pieces of folded paper"). No decent paper functions without a companion website as well. They'll need writers, page designers, copyeditors, proofreaders, and content editors.
Whether they continue to report the news in the same way will remain to be seen. It's one thing to provide a public service by reporting on the weather , sports, and traffic; but for the tougher, more deeply textured news and issues of our times, newswriters of old-style journalism now must learn to compete with the empowerment and entitlement of bloggers.
Listen, when even a newspaper's writers and editors are checking The Huffington Post before they check their own newsrooms for the latest, you know something's out of sync with traditional journalism.
The blog is alive and well and mainstream readers of all ages and inclinations are starting to see the value of aggregated news sources; that is, customized news sources subscribed to electronically through a reader. You could start your own newsblog, for free, right now, and no one would stop you. It's that easy. Maintaining a blog, and finding readers, are the additional challenges facing bloggers (beyond clear and intelligent writing, good journalistic ethics, a sense of community responsibility, truth and fairness as twin missions, and strong fact-checking and technical skills).
(I didn't say it would be easier to be a blogger, just easy to set one up!)
Nonfiction books and magazines of both interpretive journalism and investigative nonfiction continue to be popular. I know I tire of two inches of copy written on a complicated issue and prefer expanded coverage in the form of a lengthy article or even a book, when a subject warrants it.
Even if newspapers (and magazines) go paperless, all it means is that people will read them via Kindles or as downloadable files they can save and keep in their own digital libraries.
This sounds like a dream to me, as a writer. Once these articles and books are digitized, I can search their text from the comfort of my home computer at any time and with reasonably few fees or obstacles.
The fact is that people still "consume" news even if they aren't reading it. They still watch it on traditional TV news channels, they still listen to it on the radio, and both satellite radio and TV have their own specialized news programs.
If you study news journalism, you also study broadcast journalism. They're no longer separate entities. In J-school, you learn to write articles, sure, but you also learn how to write concise scripts that work into the segmented architecture of media broadcasts. The talking heads aren't ad-libbing, after all; they're reading it on a teleprompter or hearing it through a wireless earpiece.
And let's not forget all the alternative news media sources out there, aka citizen journalism, which depends upon independent reporting from individuals for the bulk of its content. They "live" in places like low-band FM, public access TV, YouTube, and iTunes.
What do all these forms of media have in common? Writers. Even when news is broadcast through audio or visual channels, it's still written first.
Because of these changes in the architecture of our media delivery systems, one thing we can expect is that there will be more patience of and demand for original reporting that breaks down old media rules and standards. That might mean more "passionate" or "subjective" journalists (versus "dispassionate" or "objective" reporters), writers with less training but with more motivation to get at the truth of an issue, and the sacrificing of lots of old rules about editing and formatting text that will no longer matter so much.
For instance, if it's true that space is limitless for articles on the web, then old rules about how many spaces to put after the period and whether you use the final serial comma become moot.
It's also going to mean more instances of purposefully uneven reporting, sins of omission, sloppy stylistic standards, and attempts to plagiarize or slander.
(My hope is that consumers of media, not just content producers, will begin to embrace the idea of media literacy as a required skill, like reading or writing, as a result.)
But there will be bright shining moments of star reportage, too, and brave new ways to broadcast the truth.
The point is this: if you've ever thought that you'd like to be a newswriter, now might be the best time to jump into the trade. It's going to be a clunky ride as the forms of media sort themselves out; as new media leaders stretch, break or reaffirm old rules (I hope, if nothing else, that they bring back the fine art of factchecking!); and consumers of news have more chance to vocalize what it is they want from news services, regardless of medium.
But it's also a broad new horizon for writers, where opportunity awaits those who are willing to take a chance. Writers hungry enough for it may take a few hits running through the new news gauntlet, but then, so will they reap all the spoils.
If you decide to go there yourself, send us a postcard, eh?

Aveeno Active Naturals Sensitive Skin SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen
We all know the importance of sunscreen, so I won't go into why it's critical to wear every day. Do you know the difference between zinc oxide and chemical sunscreen? I always thought that as long I was applying my SPF, I was safe. Turns out, not all sunblocks are created equal. I guess the first thing we should talk about is the importance of looking for a product that protects against both UVA (cancer causing) and UVB (skin damaging) rays. Look for packaging that states its "broad spectrum". Your traditional chemical sunscreen features ingredients that help "screen" your body from the harmful effects of the sun, but requires time to sink into your skin before the full benefits take place.
Most of us tend to apply our sunblock just minutes before stepping out the door, which isn't enough time for it to fully absorb into the skin, allowing our skin to be exposed to the sun without protection. Mineral sunscreen tends to use ingredients such as zinc oxide that sits on the surface of your skin, rather than being fully absorbed into the skin. This helps to protect the skin more effectively than a chemical sunblock.
Did you know that a single severe sunburn in childhood may double your risk in developing melanoma? It's never too late to start wearing your sunblock daily. Although I know zinc oxide is one of the safest ingredients for protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, I've often stayed clear of it due to its thick, white and powdery consistency. It makes it next to impossible to blend into the skin without leaving a white caste. This summer, I fell in love with the new and improved Aveeno Active Naturals Sensitive Skin SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. It's formulated with naturally sourced 100% zinc oxide to effectively provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, without feeling or looking thick, goopy or white. It also contains active natural oats to help calm and soothe the skin, while locking in moisturize.
After spending hours in the sun, my skin is often left feeling parched, tight and dry. Because Aveeno Active Naturals Sensitive Skin SPF 50 mineral sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide, that is often used as a healing treatment, it helps to reduce the tenderness of suntans and dry skin. Its fast-drying and completely matte finish is perfect for busy people on the go. You can easily re-apply throughout the day without having to wait for it to fully absorb into the skin. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture doesn't leave behind any sticky feeling and is hypoallergenic and non-irritating. It keeps skin soft, supple and nourished and is water-resistant for upwards of 80 minutes.
Since sun protection can sometimes be an afterthought, don't rely on chemical sunscreens to keep you sun protected. The new Aveeno Active Naturals Sensitive Skin SPF 50 mineral sunscreen will help keep you sun-safe and protect you from the harmful UV rays in a matter of seconds. Since zinc oxide is the active ingredient, it's more natural than other sunscreens, making it safer and better on the environment. The brand also released a new AVEENO BABY Sunscreen SPF 50 that's safe enough for your children and perfect for those with sensitive skin. Each retail for $19.99 for 88ml and available at Rexall.

I had braces fitted at Dent Estet. I was so impressed with the service and treatment, that I made an appointment to have dental implants done here too. I believe the price is amongst some of the highest in Europe, but it was worth the money. My first impressions of the clinic were superb (everything is so organized!). The dentists are very nice and the service topnotch. I still have two follow-ups as I need to do my braces (one today and another one tomorrow). This practice is more expensive than any of the other clinics I've consulted, but the customer care is perfect. It's the first-class service like this that keeps me coming back.
Brilliant experience and very happy with the final work done Great place - very clean and very professional. Recommend totally.
I've just recently returned from Bucharest where I received excellent dental treatment at the Omnia Dental Clinic. It had been years since I'd visited a dentist and a lot of decay had set in and I had developed quite a serious infection in my upper jaw which needed urgent attention. Dr. Octavian responded quickly to my inquiries and set up an appointment to suit my travel plans. He clearly outlined his treatment costs and what to expect upon my arrival. He explained that after the initial examination a treatment plan would be offered and he assured me that he would only carry out necessary procedures after consultation with me. Dr. Octavian speaks great English and is an excellent communicator so I quickly realized that I'd found my dentist. On the morning of my appointment Dr. Octavian sent a taxi to collect us from our hotel. On arrival at the clinic, which is clinic is immaculate and well equipped,we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff. The examination began without delay and I was soon on my way to a nearby clinic for a CAT scan. Dr. Octavian personally drove us there and was more than helpful with additional information about getting around Bucharest and what to see during our visit.
My actual dental treatment began later that day. Dr. Octavian delicately extracted 2 large molars and removed the underlying infection while carefully preserving the remaining bone for later implants. I had 7 cavities filled the next day. The work was exceptional and with no pain during or afterwards. None. Overall, I was more than pleased with the treatment and will definitely return in a few months for implants and crowns. I would certainly recommend Omnia Dental Clinic to anyone. Great work and super prices. Thanks again to Dr. Octavian and his great staff.
Fantastic work! They treated me with professionalism and cared for every problem I went there for. Great physicians, great clinic! I will definitely ask for their help again if needed!

Save the date: March 7-9, 2014 at the International Palms Resort in Orlando.
The 2014 show has added special treat for all. The AJKA judges will be holding their annual judging seminar at CFKS. So, there is discussion about how we can use the AKJA judging seminar and the presence of so many judges to create a really great show experience for everyone.
On the show planning front, we have taken a big step. To help control our costs and keep charges to vendors low, we have entered into a multi-year deal with the hotel. So, you can also mark your calendars now for the and 2016 shows:
March 13-15,
March 11-13. 2016
As part of the deal, the hotel has agreed to upgrade rooms reserved using our group code (CKK). Reservations made under our group code are immediately upgraded to the tower building where the show is held. Tower rooms are normally about $20 more, and they are bigger rooms. Group code reservations automatically have the resort fee waived. So the $94 show rate is equivalent to booking the cheapest room available from a third party site at $66. (When you use one of the third-party sites, you do not know about the resort fee and such getting added, but you'll find it on the bill [and in the paperwork you did not read when you registered... all the hotels in the area are adding such charges, as if they were airlines]. We are hoping that with these arrangements more people will reserve under our room block. That saves the show on its expenses, and lets us keep costs down.
To make it easier, reservations can be made on-line. A reservation link and the group code are:
Group Code: CKK
If you are internet-adverse, you can still telephone either: 1-800-354-8332 or 407-351-3500. Be sure to mention Group Code: CKK. If the link does not work for you, go to: internationalpalms.com .
It's going to be another great show!

Behind the Ribbon takes viewers "behind the scenes" for a chance to see a small, locally-focused non-profit at work and the crucial support it provides to Rhode Islanders all over the state. Behind the Ribbon is an opportunity for a new audience to get to know the Foundation. The program will also feature information about Foundation-sponsored programming and events and encourage volunteerism and community service.

Bangladesh Becomes Emerging Economy from Bottomless Bread Basket
By Nizam Ahmed
DHAKA (June 1, 2012) – Bangladesh, known as the bottomless bread basket in the 1970s, is now an emerging South Asian economy, with annual exports of some $23 billion, mainly from garment products, remittances of some $18 billion and GDP growth of over 6% despite its confrontational politics over past decades, analysts said on Friday.
Its annual food production now stands at more than 35 million tonnes, mostly staple rice, sufficient to feed its approximately 156 million people over an area of 147,570 sq. km. (56,977 sq. mi.) of mainly flat alluvial plain, with hills in the northeast and southeast, officials of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management said. The country ranks 9th worldwide by population, close behind Russia, and 12th by human population density.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on May 31st affirmed Bangladesh's BB- long-term and B short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings, with a stable outlook.
The transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment remains BB-.
With GDP worth $96 billion, the country received the same S&P rating and outlook for the third consecutive year. The first yearly rating took place in 2010, officials of the Central Bank of Bangladesh said.
With this latest ranking, Bangladesh is rated second highest in South Asia, behind India (BBB) and ahead of Sri Lanka (B+) and Pakistan (B-). Other countries in the BB category include Turkey, the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam.
The government has recently finalized a long-term perspective plan, aiming to make Bangladesh a middle-income country by 2021 by raising per capita income to $2,000, officials of the Ministry of Finance said.
According to the plan, the government is working to bring the annual rate of inflation down by 2021 to 5.2% from the current average rate of 9.93% through the proper management of monetary and revenue policies. The budget of the current fiscal year to June 2012 had targeted maintaining the annual inflation rate at 7.5%.
According to the Bangladesh Economic Review 2011, per capita income was $818 in the 2010-11 fiscal year and $751 in 2009-10.
The United States and the West define Bangladesh as a moderate Muslim democracy. The country successfully crushed a rising terror group that wanted to establish Islamic sharia law at the beginning of the new millennium. The militants were subdued after six top leaders were executed in 2007 and 200 others were sentenced to long prison terms.
Exports and the inflow of remittances to the country have been increasing despite the continuing global slowdown, traders said.
Clearly Bangladesh has achieved remarkable progress since its independence in March 1971.

The English travel writer Jan Morris wrote that Trieste is the city where she learned to be "usefully indolent" as every travel writer needs to be. "...if ever you hear them saying, 'What's become of Morris?' tell them to come to Trieste and look for me loitering with my adjectives along the waterfront."
During this, our last week in Italy, in this beautiful most un-Italian of Italian towns, I've tried to follow Morris' advice although I've done most of my loitering in the city's historic Belle Epoque cafes or in one of the its many excellent seafood restaurants.
If you don't know where Trieste is, you are not alone. (Click here for a map.) In an interview in 2004, Morris cited a 1999 poll which said that 70 percent of Italians didn't know Trieste was part of Italy. Morris' book about Trieste, which she calls her favorite city in the world, is entitled "Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere."
A beautiful hilly city on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, Trieste had its heyday in the 1800s when it was an important part of Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was the Empire's only deep-water seaport. The city's prominence began to wane at the end of the First World War when it became part of Italy, which had other important seaports. After the Second World War, the city was invaded by Yugoslavia. It was not until 1954 that Trieste was officially returned to Italy.
Trieste remains Italy's main coffe port, a hub for the coffee industry and home to Italy's famous Illy coffee. Not surprisingly, the city is brimming with cafes. It also has a long literary tradition. James Joyce lived in Trieste for many years and wrote most of "Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," and part of "Ulysses," there. The Italian writer Italo Svevo is a native son.
Joyce and Svevo were friends and often frequented the Antico Caffé San Marco, which supposedly is still a haunt for artists and litterati. When I was there, the artists and litterati must have been somewhere else so the existential, intellectual conversation I hoped to have with one of them will have to wait for another time.
One has a lot of time for possible conversation in Trieste because there are no real big must-see tourist attractions. The biggest draw is Miramare, the 1856 castle built on the Adriatic by Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. After only a few years at Miramare, Maximilian unwisely went off to become Emperor of Mexico. He was executed there three years later and the castle has become a monument to his past glories.
That could be a description of Trieste itself where the past is very much alive and where you have the impression that everyone is waiting for the return of Trieste's former glory. It's all very gracious though and it gives one the feeling that there's no need to rush about seeing this and that. It's enough to walk along the waterfront and then to sit in one of the beautiful cafes -- reading, writing, watching and waiting, along with everyone else, for something to happen.

I'm loving the Banda Islands but I'm really here for work – updating Lonely Planet's legendary Southeast Asia on a Shoestring – and I can't dawdle, much as I'd like to for a week or more. The next plane is not for several days (and then it's on the cancel-o-matic NBA Airlines) so my options are two:
- Swim the 100 miles back to the regional capital and transport hub Ambon through (cliché alert!) shark-infested waters
- Enjoy the ferry voyage of a lifetime aboard an ocean liner operated by Indonesia's Pelni line
I soon learn that the sharks might have the advantage.
Pelni operates close to 30 ships on labyrinth routes and schedules which link many of Indonesia's 17,000 islands. Depending on the age of the ship and the crew, the vessels can be tolerable or not so nice. Regrettably, I'm scheduled aboard the KM Kelimutu, which the sharp-eyed website east-indonesia.info describes as "less reliable and rather filthier" compared to other Pelni ships. But none of those are calling in Banda anytime soon, so it's the Kelimutu for me.
The ship is scheduled to arrive at 7am and sail shortly thereafter. But the night before my unflaggingly helpful host Abba learns it is due in at 2am with a 3am departure. "Not bad" I think. This will give me that much more time to research in the bright lights of Ambon. (Call that Dopey Assumption A.) A retiring Abba leaves me to my own Waterloo and I catch a few hours sleep.
A couple hours later, bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived I wait at Bandaneira's dock for the Kelimutu, which slowly floats down the channel. I figure I can catch up on snoozing once aboard (Dopey Assumption B). Scores of other passengers jostle around me, some hefting enormous bunches of bananas fresh from the tree, others carrying chickens. The ship is brightly lit and I am unhelpfully reminded of the images of the glowing Titanic sitting dead in the water. Fortunately the surrounding waters are unlikely to harbor icebergs; unfortunately I've also been reading about those Southeast Asian maritime disasters that are in the news all-too-often. In the past decade, Indonesia's had three, including a bad one in 2009.
Gazing up the battered side of the docked Kelimutu I see hundreds of people gazing back down – all have boarded at previous ports of call on the ship's peripatetic wanderings around eastern Indonesia. The gangplank hitting the dock sets off a mad scramble to board as hundreds of people, bananas, chickens and more jam together, making no collective progress whatsoever. I wait, since I have secured a "first class" ticket and have a cabin with my name on it. Optimistically, I have Dopey Assumption C: "What could be so bad about first class?"
Once aboard, it is the living embodiment of "overcrowded vessel," that cliché found in almost every ship disaster story. There are people, goods, bags of every size and not just chickens but at least one goat crammed into every available space, including all the passages and even the stairwells. On first glance my cabin looks okay. But I soon notice that the TV is smashed, the electrical outlets are smashed, the fixtures in the ceiling are smashed and of the two beds, one has a sheet littered with an array of human and insect detritus that could inspire a graduate degree in forensic biology. Of the bathroom, one glance and I decide that I'll drink as little water as possible so I'll never need see it again.
The second bed in the cabin has a sheet that at least looks clean and I sit down. Surveying my domain I notice plastic water bottles that have been cut in half and taped to the ceiling. Curious, I inspect one and discover that it is filled with roaches who have fallen in and can't get out. It seems that nature has given roaches the ability to withstand a 50-megaton nuclear bomb but it hasn't equipped them with legs that can scale the sheer sides of a polycarbonate container. I should be really grossed out but I'm diverted by an odd hissing noise. Suddenly I'm really, really grossed out as I realize that it's the sound of hundreds of roach-feet trying to find purchase on the plastic. Yech!
Turning away, I see a thumb-sized cousin of the doomed masses who has easily found purchase on the wall right next to my bed. He waves his antenna at me. I turn on every light, which sends him darting off to some dark crevice and I lay down on the bed. I spray a halo of bug repellant on the sheet around me, put my hat over my eyes and pass out; it's too late to send an SOS to Abba.
A few hours later I awaken to thin grey light streaming in through my porthole. Gazing out through the salt encrusted glass I see a tattered sheet featuring the long-faced character Eeyore of Winnie the Pooh fame. Strung up by the people on the deck outside my cabin for protection from the sun and the rain, it recalls this classic – and all-too-appropriate – Eeyore quote:
"Everybody crowds round so in this Forest. There's no Space. I never saw a more Spreading lot of animals in my life, and in all the wrong places."
Despite the general din of the engines far below, a cacophony of rattles and squeaks and the dull roar of the ineffectual air-con, I start to imagine I can hear the roaches trying to escape their traps. It's clearly time for me to escape the cabin. Opening the door, I discover an entire family has set up camp on the cabin threshold and have stacked three or maybe four generations in a space no larger than a small table (there may be the remains of additional generations in some of their battered bags stacked to the ceiling).
Without a grumble, the family looks at me – this large sweaty apparition – and rearranges themselves to allow me by. The rest of the passage is equally jammed, but the 100 or so people slide around enough for me to hopscotch along, my size 13 sandal landing near an armpit here, a sleeping head there. I reach the thronged open deck and head up to the top deck for some air; whole families are residing on each step of the narrow staircase. [In the few parts of the Kelimutu I visit, I estimate I see at least 300 people. The official capacity is 920. Given the crowding, we must be well over that.]
Yet as crowded as conditions are inside, it's worse for the hundreds of people on the top deck as they're unprotected from the frequent tropical squalls. Indeed the only protection up here is a barbed wire fence to keep a mutinous mob away from the bridge. I find a tiny spot to stand and look around the ship which has been ridden hard and put down wet since it was new, shiny and fresh from a German shipyard in 1985.
I'm soon joined by a young guy who is somehow rather nattily dressed despite conditions which would seem to mandate the opposite. As so many such encounters go he starts by asking me in English where I'm from, where I'm going etc. His name is Lemah and he's a school teacher on his way to Ambon for meetings with provincial officials. He gets right to it and asks me if I think the boat is bad. I try to demur but he's got me and says "Of course it is. I don't like it but it's all the school can afford to send me to get more rupiahs [Indonesian currency] from the bosses.
"It looks bad up here," he continues, looking at the people huddled around us. "But these people live hard lives. They're going to Ambon to try to sell something, to try to survive by living with relatives or even to go to the university. But for some, the days spent on this boat mean they have a holiday from the work they do all day everyday."
I accept this, although it still has few comparisons to my trip on a Caribbean cruise ship earlier this year – I never saw a single goat on that boat.
Back below, the tiny dining room for the "elite" in cabin class is truly off-limits to the rest of the mob. I hop around more stoic families and duck in. A smiling steward appears and unnecessarily points out that I am tall and might hit my head on the low ceiling. Another is listlessly stirring some greenish horror in a pot that is probably lunch and might be a mutineer. Karaoke blares and two women in hot pants perk up at my presence and offer me comely and crooked toothsome grins framed by vivid mace-red lips. I flee.
Once more the passengers in the first class cabin passageway shift about affably to allow me to pass. One woman even gives me a sweet smile as my stinky foot lands an inch from her head. Utterly chastened back in my cabin I vow to STFU. I have no right to complain about anything. What's a few roaches? Maybe I can organize races… The economic truth is that I've paid $40 for my ticket, which gets me a cabin, a door to hide behind and even thousands of potential six-legged friends. Outside, the people have paid $11 each for accommodation on filthy decks – if they can find space.
No more jaunts justified by a quest for fresh air but which really allow me a chance to gawk at others. Instead I'll sit in my cabin and read my book (The Broken Shore, a Melbourne mystery with lots of good cussing) as we should be in Ambon by noon… Wait, it's actually 1pm and the only life on the horizon is Eeyore flapping in the breeze. I belatedly come to terms with Dopey Assumption D, that the boat leaving Banda early might not even require its scheduled nine hours to reach Ambon. Instead it takes close to 13. At 4pm we're docked and the mass of humanity cascades down the gangplanks with chickens and goats, thousands of bags and bundles and impatient kids and mute old people. The roaches mostly stay behind.
Threading across the crowded docks, I'm looking for a room and a shower, in just that order.

Music review: Chamber fest's Schoenberg falls short of transfiguration
By Greg Stepanich
As one of the Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival's performers rightly said in her remarks from the stage, the name of Arnold Schoenberg is "box office poison" for a lot of people, but that really shouldn't apply to his early string sextet, Verklärte Nacht.
This important, beautiful work was one of the major events of the programs in the first weekend of concerts presented in the chamber festival's 20th anniversary summer, along with the most well-known of Mozart's wind serenades and an attractive trifle by a French master of the flute.
The Schoenberg sextet, a moody evocation of a poem about two lovers walking in the moonlight, and the confession by the woman that she is pregnant with another man's child, was set by the composer in a Wagnerian, shape-shifting style, with a simple falling minor scale setting the stage for music of emotional tumult that ends in major-key radiance.
In performance Sunday afternoon at the Crest Theatre in Delray Beach, the sextet came off rather drily, though clearly the players on stage were trying to emote as best they could. Intonation in the numerous unison octave passages was not what it should have been, which is problematic in music written in the thick, always-doubled fashion of late Romanticism.
And while the players handled their parts ably enough, the music didn't have enough febrility, enough nervous emotion. Even the very beginning, with its deep, quiet octaves in the tonic, was too precise and pointed: Those low D's beat time rather than summoned mystery. The beauty of this piece in addition to the quality of the themes and harmonies is its sense of feelings in near-manic flux; it needs to shimmer along with the dark landscape, lit now by the moon, then by nobility of action as the man of the couple accepts the child-to-be as his own.
Each change of mood needs to be starkly underlined, brought out in clear contrast to the one that came before, so that the journey to the major key at the end sounds like arrival. But this reading, while pleasant and competently played, was too careful and prosaic to be magical, and by doing so it fell short of the music's point.
The concert opened with Médailles Antiques, a two-movement work by the French flutist and conductor Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941). The flutist was Beth Larsen, substituting for an absent Karen Dixon; she was joined by pianist Roberta Rust and violinist Mei-Mei Luo. This is expertly made, if not particularly distinctive, music, but it shows off each instrument well.
Rust played with force and bigness throughout, and Larsen's tone was full and sweet. Luo played with her usual intensity, and while on the surface that might seem the wrong prescription for lighthearted French music, it actually worked rather well, bringing out the slippery harmonies and energy of the piece to good effect. The second of the two movements, Danses, was somewhat reminiscent of Chabrier, and the three musicians played it with high spirits and engaging athleticism.
The second half of the concert was devoted to Mozart's Serenade (No. 10 in B-flat, K. 361) for 13 winds, known as the Gran Partita. The festival took the trouble to bring in two basset horns for the performance, a laudable gesture of fealty to the score, which an old tradition assigns to celebratory music for Mozart's wedding in 1782.
All 14 musicians (including double bassist Jason Lindsay) blended nicely, playing with a fat, round sound, but not one that was overwhelming. It was, however, an approach overall that was somewhat too dynamically limited, and that may have been because the musicians played the piece without a conductor.
The famed third movement (beloved from the scene in the movie Amadeus when Salieri first learns who Mozart is), for instance, was a shade too heavy and too fast, which cost it some of the beauty of the Handelian solo oboe gesture with which it opens. Similarly, in the fourth movement Minuetto, with its two trios, there was much to admire in the spiffy solo work (particularly the bassoon in the second trio), but the music also had a sameness to its dynamic level that could have been easily altered with a good conductorial hand.
The bravura ending, which always brings cheers, did so Sunday afternoon as well, and in the important respects of technique, blend and harmony with Classical style, this was a strong, enjoyable reading of a monument of wind literature. It could have used more subtlety, though, to bring out all of Mozart's light and shade, and for that it would have needed a director.
The Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival offers its second concert of the summer at 8 p.m. Friday at Persson Hall on the campus of Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Eissey Campus Theatre in Palm Beach Gardens and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Crest Theatre in Delray Beach. The program features Peter Warlock's Capriol Suite, arranged for woodwind quintet by John McDonough, Eugene Bozza's Four Movements for Wind Septet, and the Schubert String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810, known as the Death and the Maiden Quartet. Tickets are $25, and a four-weekend ticket can be had for $85. Call 330-6874, visit www.pbcmf.org, or buy them at the door.

Unmanned aerial system (UAS) manufacturer Draganfly Innovations has partnered with Pix4D to combine Draganflyer small UAS with the Pix4D software package.
Draganfly says this combination results in a UAS capable of acquiring highly accurate aerial imagery for mapping, surveying and creating 3D modeling. The Pro Solution Pack from Draganfly includes a Draganflyer Guardian or Draganflyer X4-ES aerial platform with a high-resolution 20 MP 1-inch sensor payload or Tetracam multispectral payload and Pix4Dmapper software.
According to the company, the Draganflyer ground control station software generates preflight grid pattern flight plans that provide automated image overlap optimized for the Pix4Dmapper software. The system performs an automated grid search and stays within the confines of the grid to create square corners and eliminate over-flight of bordering property.
Pix4D software converts thousands of aerial images into geo-referenced 2D mosaics and 3D surface models and point clouds, Draganfly notes. Pix4Dmapper features advanced support of ground control points for optimal geo-location and proposes both a 'full processing' mode and 'rapid check' mode that allows operators to assess the quality of acquired data while still on-site.
Draganfly adds that the Pix4Dmapper includes the 'rayCloud' that combines the 3D point cloud generated by Pix4Dmapper with the original still images for easy viewing. The rayCloud editor lets users assess, edit, interpret and improve their results directly in the software.
Pro Solution Packs will be offered by Draganfly in the second quarter of this year, with the Draganflyer Guardian or Draganflyer X4-ES system as the platform. A customer-supplied Windows laptop is required to run Pix4D software at the job site and perform preflight planning, the company notes.

Turnip for the Books as Derry Mash Swedes
Congratulations to Derry City (the team we love to hate so well, as they are known in Sligo), on beating twice-former-UEFA-cup-winners IFK Gothenburg in the first qualifying round of this year's tournament. A 1-o win in each leg gave the Candystripes the victory. Following Cork City's victories over the past two seasons against Malmö and Djurgården, the National League can now claim superiority to the much better-funded, much better-supported and better-publicised Allsvenskan. There is no excuse of rustiness from the Swedes either: just like the Irish, they play summer football.
Drogheda United also progressed in the UEFA Cup, beating Helsinki side HJK after extra time at Dalymount. Both Derry and Drogheda should fancy their chances of reaching the first round proper as they now face Gretna (last year's surprise Scottish Cup finalists) and Start of Norway respectively. Cork faced sterner opposition in the Champions' League in Red Star Belgrade (6-0 aggregate winners over the mighty Sligo Rovers in the 1977 tournament), and went down unluckily to a first-half own-goal. Sligo, enjoying a good season so far - six wins out of the last seven - are in with a shout for a European spot next year, and surely will be hoping for Swedish opposition, maybe Hammarby (Stockholm is beautiful at this time of year), GAIS, Gothenburg's other team or even better, Henrik Larsson's Helsingborg. We've got league leaders Shelbourne - seven wins in their last seven - to take care of tonight.

Save BetaMax, flush INDUCE
I have already called my Senators about this, but i figure there is no limit to the amount of feedback these people need. I have signed up for a concentrated calling campaign to the Senate throughout the day on Tuesday, September 14, 2004, and I urge you to as well.
The campaign is to inform our Senate about the dangers of the proposed INDUCE act (S 2560 IS), from the one, the only Orrin Hatch of Utah. Funny how a Republican Senator from Utah would so willingly become a shill for the immoral types out in hollywood. Oh wait, there's money involved. Fuck freedom.
This bill would effectively outlaw (among other things), the iPod, the internet, the television, the radio, the telephone and basically any device that could be used to INDUCE someone to commit copyright infrigement.
It is time that the movie studios and record companies stop looking to Congress to bail them out. If my business goes south, I can't afford a congressment. Hell, I can't afford a city councilman and i live near Chicago, where the papers say they are cheap!
Please sign up to help. Or just call of your own volition. The people at your Senators office are very nice and will listen to whatever you have to say. Find your Senator's contact information.

I'm excited to show you more from this shoot, as despite Amelia getting a little bit tired and confused from all of our attention we captured some gorgeous photos for her family to treasure.
Here is their sneak peek to tide you over.

Anna + Adrian - Sneak Peek!
Yesterday I met with Anna and Adrian who have booked me to photograph their wedding in North Norfolk in July. Due to April's bad weather we had to re-schedule this session and luckily it stayed dry until we were in the car on the way home!
I'm so excited to photograph this wedding, Anna describes it as 'Rustic Romance' and with it taking place on her family's farmland, I can see this is going to be a very intimate and heartfelt day. To tide them over until the rest of their pictures are ready to see I just wanted to get a sneak peek up.

A Peek into My World.
Today I thought I'd give all a little glimpse into my day to day life, by giving you a tour (a very short tour!) of my office space at home.
This is where I spend my days when I'm not out shooting, editing weddings, responding to enquiries and just generally working on my business. I'm quite lucky that we have a spare room, that was being used for nothing but junk before I decided to take over it.
As you can see it is very white! I decided that I wanted it that way in order to bring some colour in with accessories. That way it wasn't stuck to a particular colour scheme and I could change as and when I wanted to.
You may notice that I'm working just from a Macbook Pro! It's connected to a few hard-drives which you can't see but I hope at the start of next year to upgrade to a iMac, with a bigger screen for editing. The Macbook has served me very well though.
I made these memo boards myself from cork tiles, fabric and two large ikea frames after searching everywhere for something similar! I just didn't like the idea of a regular old ugly corkboard on my wall. I use them for collecting pose inspiration from magazines and catalogues and pinning up the cards I receive from all my lovely clients. One also holds an envelope containing my 101 in 1001 list, so its always there in front of me to keep me motivated!
My shelves house some of my photo-booth props, and a couple of sample products and ornaments that I use when visiting clients or exhibiting at fairs. At the moment I also have a jar with two roses and a gorgeous peony from Claire at Lily and May, from our styled shoot at the start of the week! They are certainly filling the air with a lovely scent.
Hope you enjoyed a little peek into my office space!

Woodland Wedding - Sneak Peek!
Another sneak peek for you all today! This time from a styled shoot I photographed on Monday with a very talented group of creative ladies. Our original woodland location was abandoned as we predicted that we may be suffering from bad weather on the day, but actually our last minute location couldn't have been more perfect.
There's more to come from this shoot very soon, but to tide all those involved over I just wanted to get a sneak peek up!

A May Day Wedding - Sneak Peek
Nikki and Antony got married this afternoon at the gorgeous Mulberry House in High Ongar Essex. These two were very clearly in love and opted for a completely personally written ceremony with a tree blessing in the grounds. Luckily, the weather held out for us too!
I can't wait to tell you more and show you the shots from today, but in the meantime I wanted to post a quick sneak peek for you to see.

In June 1981, sitting at a piano while visiting my ex-hometown of Portales, New Mexico, I started playing a good old West Texas waltz feel. In the key of C, of course.
It was the era of the great urban cowboy plague, when every song on country radio was cowboys this and cowboys that. I was inspired that day, and a song wrote itself as I plunked:
There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend
Well, the small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes
No, the small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels for his brother
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out . . .
No one had heard of AIDS in 1981. "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" took on a life of its own, as songs will do. It's been requested at my shows for 25 years and recorded various times. I tried to place it in Brokeback Mountain, but the word I got was that it was too funny for a tear-jerkin' movie.
In 1988, I think it was, my friend Tony Garnier handed a cassette of the song to Willie Nelson when they coincided on Saturday Night Live. After living with the song all this time (reportedly it was a band-bus favorite), Willie recorded it last year.
When I first heard Willie sing "Cowboys," it was an indescribable feeling. Since I wrote the song with him in mind, I feel like I already heard it, way back when. But Willie as an interpreter is always surprising, and I learned a hundred things about my own song hearing him give it back to me. Plus, his guitar part is perfect.
On February 14, it was released as a download-only single on iTunes (and eventually shot to #8). The next day, I found myself singing the song on CBS Evening News, along with Willie. And, as if all that weren't enough -- there's going to be a "Cowboys" ringtone.

The excellent, leading and growing companies in the industry can't afford to deliver inferior products. They are expected to be excellent. Their services have to be superb, high caliber and meet customer expectations. They also have to be consistent and sustainable. Clearly, not many companies are able to do this. Not many of them are led by hardworking CEOs that do their best to grow the brand. Fortunately, Aloha Construction is an exception. Aloha Construction deviates from the crowd and stands out because of its secret component: it is being led by a family. Family-owned companies tend to succeed because of stronger ties, and the fact that Aloha Construction has been here since 2008 is an indicator of why this fact is true.
It may also be said here that Aloha Construction would probably not get the success that it has without Dave Farbaky as its founder. He is the man responsible for growing the company both in Illinois and Greater Chicago Area. He's also the man who has made Aloha as a household name in the field of construction. His leadership has also made sure that Aloha would attract the support of many industry leaders today.
One of the key industry leaders in the media that have shown their support for Aloha would have to be Dan Bernstein, the man behind the Boers and Bernstein Show and who is the Best Sports Talker in Chicago Magazine. It may even be safe to say that Bernstein is Chicago's only three-category winner of the Best Radio Talk Show award in Chicago. And the fact that he now endorses Aloha means that his construction company is indeed doing an incredible job in attracting quality supporters.
Aloha Construction has also offered help to many social development programs through the help of its founder and people like Bernstein. They have supported the Camp One Step program that helps children get quality education. They also have partnered with Illinois State University's Athletics Department to improve the wellbeing of students.
It should also be noted here that Aloha is a winner of the BBB Torch Award in 2017. This award is such a quality seal that stamps Aloha with the kind of reputation it needs to build stronger relations in the business.

Judging from the state of many lawns, moss appears to be a growing problem.
If your lawn is infested with the stuff, then March is as good a time as any to try to get to grips with it, although it could turn out to be a never-ending battle. It will stand its ground, but perseverance should pay off – eventually.
During the cold, wet winter, moss gets just the right conditions to encourage it to grow, while the grass goes to sleep. The result is that the vivid green moss can soon overrun and overcome an entire lawn.
There are things that encourage the return of moss to a lawn – poor drainage, heavy shade, a compacted surface and underfeeding will all have an effect. So the battle starts by trying to remove the conditions in which moss flourishes.
Spiking the surface with a garden fork will help to improve drainage and reduce compaction. If this is a big problem, invest in a hollow-tine fork that removes plugs of soil. The resulting holes can be filled with a 50:50 mixture of sharp sand and something like EverGreen Lawn Soil so the holes don't fill in, but encourage new roots and excellent drainage.
Then it's time to sort out the starvation problem with a dressing of a proprietary moss control/fertiliser that contains ferrous sulphate to burn off the mosses, and plant foods to green up and invigorate the grass. Apply it when rain is forecast, and after a couple of weeks, the moss should have turned black and died. Rake it off and take it to the tip.
When the moss has been removed there are probably going to be a lot of bald spots on the lawn. So the next job is to re-seed, or, if the problem is serious, to fill the spaces with turf.
And some lawns have been allowed to become so badly infested with moss that it's probably better to dig them up and start all over again with fresh turf or seed. That's a pretty big job and not one that many people want to contemplate.
Mown regularly, an infested lawn will remain green, and from a distance it can even look quite attractive. Close-up, it will be pretty unpleasant.

Put A Spring In Your Step
At last the long cruelly cold months have left us, and we can look forward to a warm and frolicking summer. The season heralding new life is well on its way. The world outside is becoming lively. There should be no reason for us not to join. However, some of us are suffering from the effects of winter and that of a new season coming on, more widely known as post winter blues. But does that mean we miss the fun? Certainly not. There certainly are ways of beating these blues and stepping on the bandwagon. What we need to do is liberate our bodies [and minds] from all the harmful things that we have been subjecting ourselves to.
The first in that list of things is seaweed bathing. It really helps to detoxify the body, and not for no reason is the latest trend to take the UK by storm. Another famous detoxifying agent is wheat grass. Did you know that this is the main ingredient in many of those commercially available detoxifiers? It also has a load of vitamins for your benefit in addition to making you feel more energetic and increasing your metabolism. And if you did not already know it, many people are now using an organic pharmacy kit regularly. This new breed of vitamins cater for everything that you might need, from detoxifying capsules to ones containing vitamins A and B to balance your hormones, to your usual tonics and multivitamins. Talking of organic treatment, why not try the botanical night complex? It got its name from the time of day you are supposed to take it-at night. Made from rosemary, sage, chamomile extract and other essential oils, it works to make you feel like a brand new person every morning. Another way to get rid of the toxins in your body is the fire and ice massage, using hot and cold stones. The cold stones constrict your blood vessels and make the nervous system more alert, and on the other hand the hot stones expand the vessels and help detoxification.
That was about detoxification. But now that we have to get out of the layers of cloth, looking our best is very important. Little known to us, but an essential part of celebrity health regimes, is perricone powder. It is made from berries like acia, raspberries and blueberries, and has anti oxidants, vitamins and minerals. To bring shape to the body, try active abdominal cleanse, which will add muscle tone. And breakdown the fat. And as far as eating goes, the Sushi diet is quite the answer, because it is traditionally low-calorie. And why not try pro biotic supplements to raise your energy levels and help in losing that extra weight? You should take it everyday, and have a balanced diet at the same time.

Last but not the least; take a break from all those gadgets. Try digital detox. Quite the thing in the US, it's a spa treatment in a hotel that does not have any gadgets. Any IT addicts out there? Try this.
Feel fresh, and feel like spring.

Response to Conspecific Chemical Cues in the Fiddler Crab Uca Rapax
MetadataShow full item record
Fiddler crabs are well-known for their visual displays in courtship and social interactions. However, the ability of these animals to produce and respond to chemical stimuli remains unknown. The current study investigated the existence of these cues and the information they may contain. Experiments were designed to discover any behavioral differences among populations as well as the duration of the cues. Both male and female crabs were found to be able to distinguish the size and sex of another fiddler crab by chemical cues alone, and displayed preferences for sand exposed to females and smaller crabs. Mate choice trials were conducted using crabs from a local and non-local population to determine whether these chemical cues differ among populations. Females showed a preference for males from a non-local population based on chemical cues. Larval development was studied to ascertain the duration of the planktonic larval phase as well as gain information regarding survival and development rates correlated with factors such as mother size, hatch date, and hatch size. Larval survival and duration were found to be impacted by the timing of release and the size of the mother. Population genetic analyses using cytochrome oxidase I were conducted to discover the relatedness of different populations of fiddler crabs throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Populations from Texas showed high relatedness, which may indicate high gene flow among populations.

Nouakchott, Mauritania (PANA) - Violent clashes broke out between the police and young black Mauritanian activists of the "Touche pas à ma Nationalité" group, who took to the streets to protest the national population census of 6 May, describing it as "discriminatory and racist", PANA reported from here Thursday.
The most violent clashes broke out in Medina 3, a district of the town of Tevragh-Zeina, where protesters responded to tear gas and police batons by throwing stones and all objects within reach.
Cars were burnt in some places.
Nouakchott seems to take up the baton after a week of protests against the census in the river valley, namely in Kaédi, 430 kilometres south of the capital and in other towns in the region.
One person died in the clashes and several others injured, causing destruction to public and private property, as well as dozens of arrests, and the protesters being released after three days in police custody.
The Mauritanian government Tuesday announced its intention to continue the census and warned against any act likely to "disturb public order".

I love seeing my friends create little versions of themselves.
While I was the first to have children out of my circle of friends, they've arrived in abundance since.
There's the curly-haired ball of energy who tormented Master Seven to the point where he'd tense at the sound of her name and then turned out to be one of his favourite playdates.
The three-year-old tot who took a stack at my house, froze as he landed (upside down) and calmly squeaked out: "Um, cuddles…", taking me back to a drunken night on the town with his mum.
There's the little boy who has his mother's eyes.
And the girl with her daddy's charm.
But, as lovely as it sounds, it's not always been that simple.
Many of my closest friends really had to battle their kids into existence.
There was unexplained infertility.
And explained infertility.
There were miscarriages.
And curettes.
Premmies who made it, premmies who didn't.
There were hormone injections, Chinese herbs, acupuncture and, ultimately, IVF.
Most went through their conception woes in the years between my having Master Seven and Li'l Fatty.
Having conceived Master Seven fair near immaculately, I tried not to feel self-conscious around them.
As they prattled on hopefully about positive pregnancy tests, I reminded myself not to talk about the awful day I did mine.
I'd barely been near the man who fathered my baby – and yet here they were pulling their bodies apart.
To their credit, there was no resentment.
Or if there was, they didn't let it show.
And for all of them determination – along with modern science – eventually paid off.
Fortunately their successes came before Li'l Fatty.
Which was good because Learner Dad barely kissed me to conceive him.
I wondered once how some of them would go explaining to their kids how they were made.
Then quickly realised my own explanations were going to be no easier.
The fact is they're here.
How we explain that to them is our own story.
Let's hope there are many to tell.
Our modern miracles
I love seeing my friends create little versions of themselves.

Prospective students searching for online life sciences master degree program found the following resources, articles, links, and information helpful.
Applied Science Careers: Biological and Biomedical Sciences
Adults seeking a higher education in biology may consider the expanding industry of biological and biomedical sciences. Some subcategories within this industry include microbiology and ecology. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, recent advances in biotechnology and information technology are transforming the industries that biological scientists work in. For example, advances in basic biological knowledge related to genetics and molecules have created new techniques.
In order to pursue any career this field, specialized education and training is necessary. This training may be obtained through a college or university. Prospective biological and biomedical sciences professionals should consider a master's or bachelor's degree in biology or a related field. Students should seek out opportunities to perform laboratory or field research in order to get the most out of their degree program.
The Basics of Master Degree Programs
Master's degrees, which are the lower of the two types of post-baccalaureate degrees, remain the most sought after graduate degrees. There are many types of this level degree, including Master of Science (MS) degrees, Master of Arts (MA) degrees, and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. Those who study technical or science-related fields often earn MS degrees, while those who study humanities or the liberal arts often earn MAs. MBAs are among the most popular master's degrees earned and, as the name suggests, are offered in business-related fields. Master's degree programs typically require at least two years of post-baccalaureate study and, quite frequently, the writing of a publishable thesis. These programs are diverse, so both requirements and degree types vary from one discipline to another.
