New book lays out the principles that can produce and sustain the character growth that guides the development of the scientific professional

Although character growth is as essential as productivity to the development of the modern scientist, Lem Moyé has keenly felt the absence of a tract written by modern scientists about the role of character and personality in the professional researcher’s development. It is for this reason he releases “Finding Your Way in Science: How to combine character, compassion and productivity in your research career” (published by Trafford Publishing). This book lays out for the scientist the principles that can produce and sustain the character growth that guides the development of the scientific professional.

The central thesis of this book is that the relentless pursuit of productivity is not a worthy career goal for the junior scientist. Moyé believes that while productivity is and will be a fundamental attribute of the professional, there are other core themes that must be allowed to develop, appear, and exert their influences as well. The presence of self-control and patience, of moral excellence and compassion, of discipline and flexibility are as critical to the development of the junior scientist as is the acquisition of technical skills. The presence of these traits engenders collegiality, persuasive strength, responsibility, administrative diligence, influence, and vision, i.e. the qualities of charitable leadership.

Each of the topics in this book is discussed with the goal of not just imparting tactical advice to the investigator, but as part of the general theme that the investigator must develop their professional character in parallel with their productivity record. Like the apples of gold in settings of silver, good character and productivity must go together to develop strong scientists.

“The occasional inevitable missteps that have punctuated my early career had their roots not in some scientific miscalculation but in a neglected character defect. A new sense of value and good judgment, always challenged, but perpetually reaffirmed, along with a set of useful coping skills rejuvenated my career—the acquisition of these traits is the focus of this book,” Moyé says.

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answers, “Just as today’s critical scientific issues are decided by scientists who were once junior workers, it is only a matter of time until you yourself play a pivotal role in shaping the impact of science on society. That time is coming for you. When it arrives, you must be ready, meeting it head-on not just with scientific knowledge, but also with strength and wisdom, compassion and vision.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.trafford.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/819420-finding-your-way-in-science

“Nine Flying Objects” from Page Publishing author Gregory Long is a true-life story of one man and his life-long crusade to prove to the world that what he saw was real and came from another world we can only barely imagine.

Gregory Long, a writer that specializes in investigating, researching, and writing about unexplained mysteries in the Pacific Northwest and who currently resides in Mill Creek, Washington, has completed his latest book “Nine Flying Objects”: a gripping and potent tale about a man who saw nine flying objects soaring across the sky on a clear day at the end of World War II and who risked ridicule and scorn for the rest of his life in order to stand up for what he had seen.

Gregory states, “It was on June 24, 1947, that a private pilot reported observing nine silver-colored objects flying north to south down the spine of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. An honest, patriotic man with considerable flying experience doing business by plane throughout the Northwest, he was stunned by their flight characteristics, shape, and incredible speed, unachievable by any known aircraft on earth at that time.

“The man, thirty-two-year-old Kenneth Arnold, described their flight to a news reporter, saying that it was as if ‘you took a saucer and skipped it across the water.’ That description quickly transformed into the term flying saucer. Hundreds and hundreds of sightings flooded the Northwest and across the United States in the following weeks.”

Published by Page Publishing, Gregory Long’s enthralling tale tells Arnold’s story as a personal account of what it was like to be a witness to the birth of the UFO phenomenon. It is also the story of a government cover-up and one man’s fight against it. This book is not just about UFOs. It is about an ordinary man who became an unwilling icon when he did something extraordinary, he reported what he saw.

A man sees nine flying objects heading south over the Cascade Mountains. He reports what he saw to the press. His report is ignored by the public and ridiculed by the press. The U.S. government investigates but withholds its conclusion from the public for decades. Based on extensive interviews with Arnold, and rare historical and government documents, this documentary explores the life of a man who was witness to one of the country’s most enduring mysteries.

Readers who wish to experience this intriguing work can purchase “Nine Flying Objects” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

New Zealand announced last month a plan to begin taxing farmers for animal burps, a world-first move that has angered many farmers. Scientist and researcher Dr. John Jaquish discusses why this is ludicrous.

Scientist, researcher, and bestselling author, Dr. John Jaquish wishes to go on record in the matter by saying the claim that burping cows are responsible for increasing planetary greenhouse gasses is 100% spectacularly false (Pure BS).

“ALL plant matter releases methane as it breaks down, therefore animal digestion has nothing to do with increased methane in the atmosphere,” says Jaquish. “This reinforces the idea that methane is a naturally occurring gas and we shouldn’t worry about naturally-created levels. Certain industries do create methane at a larger scale, and they, not the cows, must be the focus of discussions relating to environmental concerns.”

Christine Baes, Professor in the Department of Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, provides additional insight:

“The actual amount of methane released from a single blade of grass wouldn’t change if it were just left to decompose, or if it were eaten by a cow and then digested by the bacteria in their gut. The only difference is that the methane would be released more quickly by a cow or other ruminants (animals that acquire nutrients from plant-based foods with the help of microorganisms).”

The precise amount of methane that different bacteria release (whether in a cow’s digestive system, a person’s digestive system, or in the field) is an area of ongoing research. Some scientists estimate that a single cow can emit up to 100 kg of methane per year and the 3.5 billion ruminants raised as livestock worldwide may generate about 6% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). This is a falsified number, as was shown in a 1995 study showing gas from cows is only totaling 2% over the next 50 to 100 years. (1)

Decomposing plants release methane, but no more or less than cows.

Author warns that the New Green Deal may not actually be beneficial for the environment

In her retirement years, author Pat Palmer became increasingly concerned about the progression of global warming and the Green New Deal. In her new book “What to Do about CO2: And All Those Other Ghastly Gases,” Palmer shares her perspective on how politics are affecting the public’s view on climate change and renewable energy.

“What to Do about CO2” showcases Palmer’s research into what is causing the rise in global temperatures, the goals of the Green New Deal, and how politics are affecting the efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

“I accumulated a lot of research over the two years that I spent writing the book,” Palmer said. “I have so much information gathered that I couldn’t even fit it all into the book!”

Palmer wants to emphasize to readers that the Green New Deal is not about globally rising temperatures, she believes that it’s also linked to social issues that its supporters want to link to climate change.

“This book is for all the people who want to protect our environment and are willing to take a hard look at what we are doing in the name of climate change,” Palmer said. “Politicians have convinced people that we are facing an apocalypse. But if you follow the money, you will see the real reason politicians are pushing for these policy changes.”

With the evidence Palmer presents in her book, Palmer wants to encourage readers to dig deeper into the information being presented on climate change and the Green New Deal, and to seek out the truth that she believes is being hidden by half truths and lies of omission.

Susan J.P. O’Hara and Alex Service announce publication of ‘In and Around the Arena’

Susan J.P. O’Hara and Alex Service survey the growth and changes in both the Fortuna Rodeo and the town of Fortuna, California, over the past 100 years in their new book “In and Around the Arena: The 100-Year History of the Fortuna Rodeo” (published by Archway Publishing). The book itself is dedicated to the board and rodeo participants over the years.

From the Fortuna Rodeo’s origins in 1921 up to the present day, the rodeo has been a mainstay of Fortuna. Aside from 2020, the rodeo has not had a cancelation since the end of World War II. In addition to the rodeo itself, “In and Around the Arena” also discusses the history and growth of Fortuna over the past century. The book is packed with photographs and lore of the region surrounding the small California town in Humboldt County, California.

Hundreds of photographs from the collections of community members, local museums, universities, and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum illustrate the text. Among the many never-before-published images is a photograph from the collection of the Rodoni family showing the 1961 Fortuna Rodeo’s salute to “old cowboys” who had ridden in the rodeos of the 1920s. The book also features images created by Fortuna photographer Rudy Gillard, a rodeo board member and official photographer of the Fortuna Rodeo, between 1955 and 1981.

“We want readers to take away an appreciation for living in a small community and for how people working together have been able to create this event and maintain its operation for the past 10 decades” O’Hara and Service say.

“In and Around the Arena” is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Around-Arena-100-year-History-Fortuna/dp/1665708417.
