Dispersed throughout is a treasure trove of information on Japan in general, and particularly on his specialties: early modern Japan and forestry and environmental management. The bulk of the collection documents Professor Totman’s education and professional work as a scholar and teacher of Japanese history. Totman held academic positions at UC Santa Barbara, Northwestern, and Yale before retiring in 1997. His experiences in Japan piqued his scholarly interest, and upon his return to the states with his new wife Michiko, he finished college at UMass and did his graduate work at Harvard where he received a doctorate in 1964 for a study of politics during the Tokugawa period. After graduation in 1953, Totman served in the army for three years in South Korea where got his first taste of Japanese culture during leave. A scholar of the history and culture of early modern Japan, Conrad Totman began his career as a student of ornamental horticulture at the University of Massachusetts. He continued for some time to try to understand the purpose of the “repeats”. In 1992, when sequencing the DNA of archaea, which are like bacteria in that they don’t have a nucleus, he noticed sequences of DNA that were repeated several times. Mojica was a graduate student in the University of Alicante in Spain. The first “aha” moment occurred in the research of Francisco Mojica. James Watson, one of the discoverers of DNA, calls CRISPR the biggest discovery in biology since the discovery of DNA. The discovery of each piece of the system made scientists think “wow, CRISPR is more exciting than we thought”. The book is structured as a series of “aha” moments, recounting how scientists made a series of discoveries about the CRISPR Cas9 system. I recently read Walter Isaacson’s story of the discovery of CRISPR / biography of Jennifer Doudna, called The Code Breaker. I remember watching this with my friend, and to tell you the truth - it's not that bad! Sure, it's corny and cheesey and whatever, but the actresses were a hell of a lot better than those morons that acted in the movie!! At least these actresses made their friendship seem natural rather than forced and awkward like the actresses in the movie! This, to me, is a classic (genuine), it reminds me of when I was at school, and is a hell of a lot funnier and interesting than the film! In my opinion, if Ann M.

A label can encourage people to see a disorder everywhere. “Still, it’s important to use the term “behavioral addiction” carefully. Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Checking, Scrolling, Clicking and Watching A score of 13–20 indicates moderate Internet addiction, which implies that your relationship with the Internet is causing you “occasional or frequent problems.” A score between 21 and 25 suggests severe Internet addiction, and implies that the Internet is causing “significant problems in your life.” A score of 8–12 suggests mild Internet addiction-you may spend too long on the web sometimes, but you’re generally in control of your usage. “Internet Addiction Test Select the response that best represents the frequency of each behavior listed using the scale below: 0 = Not applicable 1 = Rarely 2 = Occasionally 3 = Frequently 4 = Often 5 = Always How often do you find that you stay online longer than you intended? _ How often do others in your life complain to you about the amount of time you spend online? _ How often do you check your email before something else that you need to do? _ How often do you lose sleep because of late night log-ins? _ How often do you find yourself saying “just a few minutes” when online? _ If you scored 7 or below, you show no signs of Internet addiction. Marie just left her abusive husband and moved in with her druggie brother, Jeff. Where do I start? First off thank you to my Friend Angie for suggesting this book to me. So good to see all the Reaper guys again. I purchased the audible for this one just so I could enjoy the Reaper’s once again. Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants – at home, in public, on his bike… If she’s a very, very good girl, she’ll get lots more of those orgasms only he can offer, and he’ll let her brother live. What he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming “property of”. Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he’d just stop giving her mind-blowing orgasms. Especially one like Horse – she doesn’t know his real name or where he lives, she’s 90 percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talks with her brother isn’t website design. But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband, and she’s not looking for a new man. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. The massive, tattooed, badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn’t agree. Marie doesn’t need a complication like Horse. Adam is extremely self-aware which is often a rare commodity in mental health novels, but is was a strong element of the story. In my opinion, this story stands out from other novels dealing with this disorder as we follow a main character who is able to distinguish between their hallucinations and reality due to their current position in treatment while still suffering the debilitating effects of this illness. I really adored the portrayal of schizophrenia in this story. He strikes the correct balance between suffering and humor which made the story immensely enjoyable. I adored Adam's voice - He is unfiltered and expressive through every chapter. I admit, it was strange at first (I mean, how often does the narrator get angry at the READER?) but it became very natural by the end of the story. While most journal/diary novels are directed at the journal itself or anyone who is reading it, Adam's passages are directed at one specific person, therefore, the reader somewhat assumes the role of his therapist. It took me a bit to adjust to the storytelling method. Words on Bathroom Walls is told through journal entries Adam is writing to his therapist, as he remains non-verbal during their sessions. A funny, honest, and relatable read depicting what it's like to live with mental illness. I'm so pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. Once the professionals are brought in, the problems keep getting worse: angry neighbors, terrifying problems in walls, and-most serious-civil permitting issues that put the kibosh on what work’s been done.
