Time goes on like flowers in autumn, Enabling forgotten memories to come back. The earth revolves on its axis one more time. Then I smile, though I know not why. Flowing from author Jaime P. Sanchez’s newfound energy for writing poetry in a later stage of his life, Some Flowers Bloom in Autumn presents a collection of poetry intended to reach people of all ages—but particularly those struggling to find purpose in the latter part of their lives. Sanchez also speaks to those who are trying to seek the simple truths that are oftentimes ignored because they are controversial. Surprisingly candid and honest, these verses include passionate love poems and liberating descriptions of life with a difficult medical condition. Open-hearted and engaging, this collection of poetry considers the changes of later life and embodies the life experience of a man of our time.

At the juncture of an Excan Tlahltoloyan invasion to Cholula, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca engage in a violent war when disputing the love of goddess Victoria on the gladiatorial stone, who is manifested as the emissary and harbinger of the fifth sun destruction. Amid rituals and sacrifices, flowery warfare, and tzompantli, love blossoms and dies. The story is complemented by a chilling account of the Battle of Zacatecas and the Jerez fair, where Mexican traditions are illustrated and glorified.

This master thesis describes my work as a Ph.D. student in the laboratory of the Quantum Gases group during one and a half year. The experiment creates spinor Bose-Einstein condensates of ∼10 5 atoms with a repetition rate of 12 seconds, using all-optical methods. I report a full description of the elements and techniques involved. My main contribution has been the building of a phase-imprinting apparatus in order to study different topological defects in the condensate. Currently, the apparatus is still in the testing phase, therefore I had the opportunity to reproduce only some initial results on the creation of solitons.

In the new millennium the increasing expectation of customers and products complexity has forced companies to find new solutions and better alternatives to improve the quality of their products. Lean and Six Sigma methodology provides the best solutions to many problems and can be used as an accelerator in industry, business and even health care sectors.

Óscar, con un turbulento pasado, interrumpe causalmente el amor de Julián y de Amanda, un economista y una socióloga. Ambos buscan con el olvido coser sus heridas. Él, en Estambul, queda hechizado por los ojos negros de una mujer siria. Ella viaja a Etiopía, a buscar dónde se esconde la justicia de Dios. L. Jaime Sánchez, en su novela Enredos del Diablo, continuación de Las preguntas a Dios, desnuda la naturaleza humana de sus personajes. Los vientos favorables que unos encuentran contrastan con las tormentas que a otros, resignados con el caprichoso destino de sus vidas, arrastran hasta el precipicio de la extrema desesperación.

In January 2006, a 2 1/2 day symposium was held at the University of Miami School of Architecture, entitled "Under the Sun: Traditions and Innovations in Sustainable Architecure and Urbanism. The articles in this publication summarize some of the primary concepts presented at the event.

Summarises current research on the adoption of Conservation Agriculture (CA) principles in different regions around the world Highlights the emergence of CA as a key alternative to tillage-based agriculture Reviews the challenges of effective implementation of CA in different contexts (e.g. drier conditions, poor soil quality)

The sports technician in training stages, and the physical education teacher, have always demanded useful works with games and practical activities to enliven the session, and that collect the specific aspects necessary for correct motor training and adequate performance in sports practice and collect the specific aspects necessary for a right motor training and adequate achievement in sports practice. For inexperienced technicians it represents a simplification when it comes to prepare the daily lessons. And for experienced technicians it represents a base on which they can build their daily work for the improvement of both generic and specific skills, with the contribution of their own experience. Therefore, in this work we have included highly selected activities from the wide existing repertoire, with the aim of providing a real proposal that is easy to put into practice, avoiding to create a manual full of variants or activities of doubtful efficacy.
