The two embark on a torrid relationship where she tried to convince him that a no strings attached arrangement was best for them. Things got complicated as they realized right away that what existed between them was not just chemistry. In order to change the terms of their relationship, they needed to deal with past demons and reveal their darkest secrets to each other.
This guide covers all aspects pertaining to the use of zebrafish including their basic biology, humane care and management, husbandry, life support systems, regulatory compliance, technical procedures, veterinary care, and water quality management. The zebrafish is now a mainstream model animal employed by scientists to study everything from stem cells to the basis of behavioral changes induced by drug addiction. However, there are few accepted and established standards for husbandry, management, and care for the fish in laboratory settings and even fewer comprehensive and constantly reliable resources. To this end, the goal of this handbook is to provide managers, veterinarians, investigators, technicians, and regulatory personnel with a concise yet thorough reference on zebrafish biology, care, husbandry, and management. The new edition includes more figures, tables and bullet points, a wealth of new full-color images, major updates on health and welfare (including colony health surveillance and viruses), and a complete overhaul of the compliance section to address more international concerns.
With the advent of transgenic and other genetic engineering technologies, the versatility and usefulness of the mouse as a model in biomedical research has soared. Revised to reflect advances since the second edition, The Laboratory Mouse continues to be the most accessible reference on the biology and care of the mouse in research settings. This guide presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference source for investigators, technicians, and caretakers on the humane care and use of the mouse. The new edition adds information on novel technologies such as CRISPR-Cas and on housing systems and management practices; it covers new concepts such as pain assessment by facial expression and the importance of nest-building as an assessment tool of well-being. There are now expanded sections on anesthesia and analgesia, and on behavior and enrichment. An ideal quick reference for investigators, technicians, and animal caretakers charged with the care and/or use of mice in a research setting, this book will be particularly valuable to those new to working with mice who need to start research programs using these animals.
Alex Crane is on top of the world. President of one of the largest banks in the country, an early retirement to beautiful Lake Wawasee is not far away. But when a routine audit reveals that tens of millions of dollars have been skimmed from his bank's IRA accounts, his apparently secure world is turned upside down. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a nightmarish scheme involving subprime mortgages, bailout money, FBI thugs, mobsters, and eventually murder. The resulting story takes the reader on a fast-paced journey into the upper echelons of our Federal Government and our financial empire. When Alex's life is threatened, an unexpected source gives him the ammunition he needs to fig...
The village of Old Mines is the oldest settlement in the state of Missouri. Lead miners were in Old Mines as early as 1719. The founding of Old Mines in 1723 coincides with the land grant awarded to Philippe Francois Renault by French authorities on June 26, 1723, to mine lead. Thus, the oldest village in Missouri began as a mining town. In 2023, the village marks three hundred years of the French in Old Mines. This book narrates the history of people in remote Louisiana and how they have kept alive a French heritage of culture and customs. The history of Old Mines is tightly bound to the Catholic faith the French settlers brought with them, the parish they founded, and the church, schools, rectories, and convents they built. The decade of the 2020s is filled with over twenty anniversaries to be marked and celebrated in the oldest mining town in Missouri, itself marking its Bicentennial in 2021. This is not a scholarly writing of history; it is a thirty-chapter narrative, grounded in research, of the continual presence of the French in Old Mines for three hundred years.
