Yet was it all myth? She resented the doubt with quick jealousy, and, opening the bottom drawer of the chest, drew forth a battered portfolio. Out rolled manuscripts, faded and worn, and arose a faint far scent of sweet kept age. The writing was delicate and curled, with the quaint fineness of half a century before. By weakening the US naval presence in the western Pacific, China hopes gradually to undermine America alliances with other Asian countries, notably South Korea, the Philippines and maybe even Japan. If US influence declines, China would be in a position to assume quietly a leadership position in Asia, giving it much greater sway over the rules and practices in the global economy. Through its navy, China hopes to reshape the balance of power in Asia. Muscle cars broke into pop culture as the Beach Boys celebrated Chevy's "real fine" 409, and there was no stopping the phenomenon.The Golden Age of Muscle Cars: 1964, 1965Gas was cheap, the economy strong, and change was in the air. Young hotbloods turned on to the fast, good looking Pontiac GTO; competitors took note, and muscle cars soon rumbled out of most every showroom. This period delivered to the automotive world such hallowed names as the Mustang, 4 4 2, Barracuda, and Chevelle Super Sport. Then saved it, and it would ask if I wanted to update the file in the archive. I say yes. Then it was done.You might want to recheck your file you made before and recompressed? See if it has duplicate/renamed files or if it a folder 양평출장안마 with your one file added to the archive.. As reported in the April 2018 issue of the Creativity Research Journal, Roberto Goya Maldonado and associates at the Systems Neuroscience and Imaging Lab in Gottingen sat down 12 artists and 12 양평출장안마 non artists and gave them colored images to choose from on a screen, including green images that provided a cash reward. When the green images popped up and were chosen, the non artists' brains showed a great deal of activity in the pleasure area that releases dopamine. Brain scans of the artists showed less activity in the dopamine producing area. One time when he was falling asleep he called me babe and I made a joke about it calling him my non babe for a while. We ended up talking about if we really liked each other and how we would do it with the distance. Long story short, I live in Washington state and me growing up not liking football I now enjoy the Seahawks.. How is it "immersive" to throttle thrusters? Do you mean realistic? If it realistic then you realize that you don actually need to throttle them on for 1/2 second = X thrust. On for 2 seconds = Y thrust. Did you know most rocket engines (main engines) can throttle below 70%?to their weight and the extra plumbing required for their operation, vernier rockets are seldom used in new designs.[1] Instead, as modern rocket engines gained better control, larger thrusters could also be fired for very short pulses, resulting in the same change of momentum as a longer thrust from a smaller thruster.. I know in the US Post Office will even let you say that a package needs to be delivered to a neighbor or a different address. I learned all of this after I had 2 packages "disappear" from my suburban Ohio home front porch. Do to local postal cutbacks, we rarely have the same person deliver our mail, so this is a nice way to make sure that stuff gets delivered in the best way possible.

From the Dean: International connections bring benefits to us all

The University of Guelph and Ontario Veterinary College have long been recognized for their commitment to the global community.

Within the U of G’s Strategic Framework, this commitment to internationalism has been noted as one of the areas of focus and opportunity at the university. Our researchers are valued for the expertise they bring to solving global issues in food, animal and human health and the environment to improve lives.

We are also fortunate to attract students and researchers from around the world to study here, further enriching our campus and our work.

A number of recent news articles have highlighted increased numbers of international students seeking to study in Canada.  An article in Times Higher Education  last month cites survey numbers from Universities Canada putting the increase at 11 per cent over the past year across Canada and suggests that every province has seen increases. Maclean’s highlighted the trend in a similar article last month as well.

The increased numbers are good news for higher education and for students – we all benefit.

The articles highlight some of the reasons students may seek a Canadian university education but notably emphasizes the benefits these students bring to their school of choice – among them global perspectives and experiences and a strengthening of international connections.

An international strategy for higher education is good for Canada too. Internationalization will facilitate trade, as Canadian graduates develop intercultural competencies and international students return to positions of influence in their home countries. Further, it can increase the number of highly qualified graduates who remain in Canada, thus helping bolster our domestic workforce. In some fields there is a real shortage of Canadian students to fill the available graduate-level positions.

So what are the numbers? At OVC, we’ve seen international applications to the DVM program increase four per cent this year and more than 50 per cent in the previous academic cycle.  Many come from the U.S. and we also have students from Malaysia, China, Italy, England, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Iran, and the Bahamas.

Over the last year alone, more than a dozen international students have begun graduate programs at OVC. We have graduate students from Europe, Asia, South America and the U.S. completing Masters, PhD and DVSc programs at OVC and specializing in immunology, reproductive biology, neuroscience, epidemiology and clinical specialties.

I know there a number of reasons why OVC figures highly on the list for international applicants in both the DVM and graduate studies program – our academic excellence in theoretical and experiential learning, world class research and success in educating highly qualified personnel at the undergraduate, DVM, graduate and specialist levels.  

Innovation, collaboration and expertise are a few areas Dr. Salah Uddin Khan notes. Salah is a post-doctoral fellow in Prof. Amy Greer’s lab in OVC’s Population Medicine department and is one of 46 new Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Health System Impact Fellows named recently. He highlights a few of the plusses with pursuing this work here: “OVC provides a great platform for innovation, collaboration and a plethora of subject-matter experts who can guide to the next step of your research and professional career.”

After completing her DVM degree at The National Autonomous University of Mexico, Elein Hernandez came to the University of Guelph for further specialized study in animal welfare. Jointly advised by Prof. Pat Turner in OVC’s Pathobiology Department and Profs. Tina Widowski and Stephanie Torrey, in the Ontario Agricultural College, Elein is completing her Doctor of Veterinary Science (DVSc) and is the first DVSc student specializing in animal welfare and laboratory animal medicine. She notes, “U of G is an internationally, well-known university with a highly qualified faculty and a diversity of veterinary medicine-related programs. The DVSc program at the U of G’s OVC is an all-round program that has inspired me to improve my clinical skills as a veterinarian and allowed me to gain new research skills and experiences.”

Michaela Botts, who’s in the OVC Class of 2020 and also is the international peer helper in the DVM program, cites a collaborative atmosphere, and faculty and students who offer advice and genuinely want to help her on her path toward a veterinary career.

“At OVC the students do not compete against each other, but work toward a common goal of being successful veterinarians, and it is in this environment that I have been able to flourish,” she says. “This sense of teamwork and helping others has stayed consistent throughout my first year and a half at OVC. Professors love helping their students, and between that and the numerous extracurricular activities I have been able to explore many different topics and I am excited to see where this profession takes me.”

Valeria Roati was completing her undergrad at the University of Florida and planning to apply to schools in both the U.S. and Canada when she first toured OVC last February. The equine program and academic excellence first drew her interest in OVC, but on her visit she learned about the many other opportunities available at OVC – hockey, intramural teams, student clubs, research opportunities and more. The quality of life aspect was particularly appealing. “So, there I was, I packed my bags and left Italy one more time and started this amazing journey,” says Valeria.

She’s taken advantage of many of these opportunities. Class Council, CVSA, the equine and surgery clubs, and will participate in foal watch in the spring. “I would have never imagined that all of these opportunities would open up to me once being a student,” she adds. “The first few months have been extremely busy but also amazing. Every day I walk into class there are 121 friendly faces that make me miss my family a bit less. It’s amazing to see how everyone supports each other and helps each other out to achieve excellence.”

I’m pleased to hear positive comments from both graduate and DVM students who have chosen OVC. I’m particularly pleased they are bringing their global experience to our studies here at OVC. We are all richer as a result.

While Canada and the University of Guelph are welcoming to international students, we can do more. The Canadian colleges of agriculture and veterinary medicine are collectively sending a message to the federal government regarding the benefits of international recruitment and international study for domestic students, encouraging our funding agencies to facilitate internationalism in our undergraduate and graduate programs. And we hope that the U of G internationalization strategy will result in a U of G that is even more attractive to international students, especially in those fields where we can have so much global impact.
