The Antares maelstrom
\"An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox set during the original Five-Year Mission! The final frontier erupts into chaos as vast quantities of a rare energy source are discovered beneath the surface of Baldur-3, a remote planet beyond the outer fringes of Federation space. Now an old-fashioned \"gold rush\" is underway as a flood of would-be prospectors, from countless worlds and species, races toward the planet to stake their claim. The galactic stampede threatens the stability of neighboring planets and space stations, as widespread strife and sabotage and all-around pandemonium result in a desperate need for Starfleet assistance. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are dispatched to deal with the escalating crisis

Kierkegaard and Failures of Double-Mindedness in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman
Willy Loman’s double-mindedness in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is a major cause of failure for him as a salesman, husband, and father. In all three roles, double-mindedness underlies Loman’s false sense of self and deceptive speech that cause him to act ineffectively and even self-defeatingly in securing prosperity for himself and his family. This article examines the definition of double-mindedness according to the Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, in his work, Purity of the Heart Is to Will One Thing (1846), in order to illuminate instances of double-mindedness and its deleterious impact on Loman in the play. The discordant, variable mental state that double-mindedness causes predisposes Loman to self-sabotaging and destructive tendencies in both his career and family life. In the end, Loman’s suicide cannot be ruled tragic but should be seen as a forced error for its self-mutilation and escapism.

Closed Chain of Custody Improves IVM Process
Contract Specifications The FirstEnergy transmission vegetation management (TVM) team strives to incorporate BMPs into its vegetation management program to achieve business objectives related to safety, reliability, federal and state compliance, financial awareness and social responsibility. [...]FirstEnergy, its contractors and CPS were able to help applicators focus on safely and efficiently controlling incompatible vegetation. [...]FirstEnergy worked with the CPS vegetation management team first to understand the utility’s workflow process and then to integrate an accurate data-collection process for CCC. Based on the outcomes, FirstEnergy will continue to use closed chain of custody as a BMP and challenges the industry and peers to consider adopting a similar process. ♦ Shawn Standish is the transmission vegetation program manager for FirstEnergy Corp., where he is responsible for the utility’s transmission vegetation management activities related to federal and state compliance, new transmission construction projects, training staff and contractors, emerging technologies, contract strategies, and FirstEnergy’s TVM work management solution that staff and contractors use to document work activities.

NONRESPONSE OF NATIVE COTTONWOOD TREES TO WATER ADDITIONS DURING SUMMER DROUGHT
Studies have demonstrated that some riparian trees may switch their reliance on surface soil water (unsaturated or vadose zone) to groundwater (saturated zone) sources during the growing season in association with changes in moisture availability. A closely related question is: How do these trees respond to pulse increases in water availability in previously dry zones? We tested the whole-tree physiological response of 6 natural Populus genotypes to water additions during the peak of summer drought in northern Utah, USA. We found clear evidence that trees were insensitive to water additions to the surface soil that were twice the magnitude of whole-tree transpiration rates. Our results suggest that some cottonwoods may have little immediate transpiration or leaf conductance response to pulse soil moisture increases. This lack of response may be related to a water-use strategy associated with regional climate patterns (i.e., genetic or environmental programming), cavitation recovery, or other physical determinants of water use such as depth to groundwater. Our data suggest that it is important to consider potential nonresponsiveness to changes in soil water availability when evaluating the impact of climate change on these important and productive ecosystems.

Riese : kingdom falling
\"Riese has never been happy as a princess; she'd much rather be hunting or fighting than sitting through another lesson on court etiquette. When she meets Micah, a wandering artist with a mysterious past, she pretends to be a peasant--it's a chance to be just a normal girl with a normal boy for a while. But with war decimating her once-proud nation and the sinister clockwork Sect infiltrating her mother's court, Riese's moments with Micah are the only islands of sanity left in a world gone mad. As her kingdom falls and the Sect grows ever stronger, will Riese remain true to her duty as a princess ... or risk everything on a boy she barely knows?\"--Publisher's website.
