Adozione dolcissima SHEEBA vi aspetta in canile

SHEEBA è una bellissima meticcia, probabilmente incrociata con un lupoide, di circa 4-5 anni, arrivata in canile alcuni mesi fa. Non sappiamo quale sia il suo passato, purtroppo anche lei fa è stata trovata sul territorio a seguito del solito abbandono. Sheeba inizialmente ha manifestato tutta la sua disperazione, non capiva perché dovesse passare le sue giornate rinchiusa, era sempre aggrappata alla rete del suo box cercando di farsi notare in ogni modo pur di attirare l'attenzione dei volontari. Noi in questo periodo abbiamo modo di conoscerla e renderci conto di quanto sia un cane con un carattere solare, equilibrato e socievole, estremamente buona ed affettuosa e con una grande voglia di stare in compagnia delle persone. Molto ricettiva ed ubbidiente, adora giocare a palla e sa lasciarsi condurre tranquillamente al guinzaglio. Ci sono cani che più di altri soffrono la solitudine e Sheeba sicuramente cerca di manifestare questa sua sofferenza in ogni modo. Ma lei non può far altro se non continuare ad attirare la nostra attenzione sperando di poter lasciare quel box per non doverci tornare mai più. Sheeba vi aspetta, diamogli la possibilità di lasciare il canile per poter vivere serena; non chiede altro che poter avere una persona di riferimento, qualcuno che possa farla sentire parte integrante di un nucleo familiare. Visibile in canile a Roma nord, ma per una buona adozione valutiamo richieste altrove DISPONIBILITA' CONTROLLI PRE E POST ADOZIONE CON SOTTOSCRIZIONE MODULO AFFIDO I cani proposti in adozione sono ospitati presso un canile dove operano molti volontari ed educatori cinofili che aiutano gli animali ad interagire costantemente con l'uomo e con i propri simili, pertanto ognuno di loro può essere adottato con la prospettiva di una armoniosa convivenza.

Protezione Micio Onlus: adozione gattina Sheeba

La gattina Sheeba è una piccola pantera dal lineamenti nobili, eppure è nata in un posto che di nobile ha poco, una distesa di cemento della zona industriale di Beinasco. Nonostante i gatti della sua colonia fossero tutti selvatici, lei si avvicinava fin da piccolina a chi le portava il cibo, mostrando la sua indole domestica. Gli stalli in estate erano pieni ed è presto arrivata l’età in cui avrebbe potuto essere sterilizzata. Lo stradone di fronte miete vittime di frequente, il freddo è cominciato ed è destinato ad aumentare.. insomma non ce la siamo sentiti di rimetterla dove stava dopo la sterilizzazione. E infatti la piccola Sheeba, dopo i primi giorni di comprensibile smarrimento, si è mostrata subito una micina di buon carattere, timida e delicata. Ha bisogno di tante attenzioni, che adesso in stallo per la gran parte del tempo sola in un bagno non può ancora avere. Si è adattata subito alla vita di appartamento e se la si coccola si rotola e promette fusa a non finire. È una mangiona e si diverte a giocare a nascondino, con gli asciugamani appesi e con le ciabatte. Non gradisce stare in braccio ma si fa accarezzare da chiunque le porga una mano. Cerca dei genitori umani che si occupino di lei per tutta la vita. È cresciuta in mezzo agli altri gatti, sarebbe la sorellina ideale anche per un altro gatto. La gattina Sheeba ha appena 6 mesi è stata già sterilizzata, è negativa a FIV e FeLV, è stata spulciata, sverminata e vaccinata con trivalente. Sheeba si trova attualmente in stallo a Grugliasco ed è adottabile a Torino e dintorni, solo in appartamento (con balconi preventivamente messi in sicurezza, no piani rialzati, tetti accessibili e altre pericolose vie di accesso all’esterno) previo colloquio pre affido a casa vostra (una chiacchierata per conoscerci), firma del modulo di adozione e disponibilità a mantenersi in contatto con noi di tanto in tanto per avere notizie e foto.

Nature and Nurture During Infancy and Early Childhood

Nature and Nurture During Infancy and Early Childhood

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Plomin, Robert / Defries, J. C. / Fulker, D. W., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In light of work by quantitative geneticists, the authors reconsider the interaction of heredity and environment in the development of individual differences during infancy and early childhood. Quantitative genetics offers a general theory of the development of individual differences that suggests novel concepts and research strategies: the idea that genetic influences operate in age-to-age change as well as in continuity, for example. Quantitative genetics also provides powerful methods to address questions of change and continuity which are helpfully introduced in this study. Longitudinal quantitative genetic research is essential to the understanding of developmental change and continuity. The largest and longes longitudinal adoption study is the Colorado Adoption Project, which has generated much of the rich data on the progress from infancy to early childhood on which the authors draw throughout the book.

Shattered Dreams--Lonely Choices: Birthparents of Babies

Shattered Dreams--Lonely Choices: Birthparents of Babies

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Finnegan, Joanne, PUBLISHER: J F Bergin & Garvey, Dreams of pregnancy include the expectation that nine months of waiting will end with a joyous event. But, each year, a "shattered dream" occurs for thousands of couples who receive the news that their child will have a disabling condition severe enough that they may question if they are the best parents for their child. Societal expectation is that parents will raise their child or, if the condition of the child is detected prenatally, abortion is offered as an alternative. Parents who explore other options face scrutiny and, sometimes, condemnation--"lonely choices." Joanne Finnegan shares her personal experience and that of several families she interviewed who, like herself, explored options other than raising their child with a disability. Parents express with candor the overwhelming pain they felt when receiving "the news," the frustration when searching for options, the "no-win" feeling of decision making, the resolve with a final decision, and finally, life after the decision. Parent quotes also address issues such as spiritual dilemmas and interactions with friends, family, their other children, and medical professionals. Words of advice for new parents include how to build support systems and gather information, how to search for an adoptive family, and arranging the details of communication between adoptive and birth parents. Interviews with adoptive parents, poetry, and extensive resource lists complete the book. Written as a gift for other parents to help them cope with the pain and loneliness of decision making, this book will also be a valuable resource for medical professionals, adoption and social workers, counselors and spiritual advisors, and friends and family of theparents. It is a helpful as well as a deeply therapeutic book, providing a strong lesson in how to manage during this stressful time, from receiving "the news" about the baby's condition and prognosis, to weighing the factors involved in the various decisions. Should one take the baby home from the hospital? If not home, then where? Foster care, respite care, guardianship, and other forms of substitute care are mentioned. The author also examines decisions about finances and support services, family issues, finalizing an adoption plan, living with the decision, regrets, and future pregnancies.

The Divine Family: The Trinity and Our Life in God

The Divine Family: The Trinity and Our Life in God

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McDonough, William K. / Hahn, Scott, PUBLISHER: Servant Publications, In this fourth title in the series of contemporary Catholic classics, William K. McDonough offers a popular explanation of the meaning of the Trinity, ?the fundamental doctrine of the Catholic faith, ? and its relation to the body of Christian revelation. He presents a synthesis of the Catholic faith: the triune life of God; the Person of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; creation; the Incarnation; mariology; divine adoption; divine indwelling; prayer, sacraments and sacramentals; love; life with God here and hereafter. McDonough relies on the theology of Saints John and Paul, the teachings of the Fathers of the church, and the spiritual writings of Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity, a contemporary of Saint Th?r?se of Lisieux. He sees the mystery of the Trinity as a secret?the Secret of Secrets?beyond all our guessing?that, once revealed to us, becomes the pattern for true Christian living.

Future success will depend on the responsiveness and robustness of the initial systems as well as their enthusiastic acceptance by facility and operations managers. The unifying, universal theme of this book is the effective communication of scientific results in a rapidly changing environment. Specific environmental issues related to operations at military facilities include encroachment on training ranges, implementation of effective EMS, pollution prevention in the military sector, and public participation, especially as this relates to the unique requirements of national security.

Disability: A Novella

Disability: A Novella

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mazza, Cris, PUBLISHER: F2c, Told in a broken shorthand voice, Mazza's language is acute, evoking a place where the patients, the caregivers, and the system are all disabled. Teri and Cleo are minimum-wage nurse-aides at a state ward for severely retarded and physically handicapped children. They are expected to feed, bathe, clothe, and carry out the required therapies for their patients in a 4-hour shift. They're working within a system where money for therapy is only continued if therapy shows improvement--and yet the state-paid therapists who oversee the ward know the patients will never show any improvement. To keep the money coming in, it is up to the minimum-wage caregivers to "see" and chart important improvements, thus keeping the therapy program alive. Blinded in their own way by their pet-like adoption of favorite patients, Teri and Cleo struggle to remain both optimistic and realistic. As their personal failures mount--and even transpose or emulate the travesties within the state ward--Teri and Cleo, with their own unseen "disabilities" in dealing with their lives and pasts, react harshly to the breakdown in the emotional balancing act.

Exquisite Specificity: The Monoclonal Antibody Revolution

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cambrosio, Keating / Cambrosio, Alberto / Keating, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In Cesar Milstein and Georges Kohler were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of "hybridoma technology," a method leading to the production of unlimited quantities of biological reagents of "exquisite specificity" known as monoclonal antibodies. Focusing on this ground-breaking development in the recent history of the biomedical sciences, this volume offers a description of scientific activity that delineates the development of scientific knowledge. Based on an extensive reading of the literature in the field, interviews with leading participants and on-site observation, the book follows events, materials and actors through a twenty-year period during which a laboratory technique was transformed into one of the most successful tools of modern biotechnology. Beginning with an analysis of the amiguities surrounding the initial status of monoclonal antibodies, the book goes on to explore the various practices and forms of knowledge involved in the reproduction of hybridoma technology. The analysis of the worldwide diffusion of monoclonal antibodies and their consequent transformatin by users is complemented with a close-up account of their adoption within two laboratories. The book ends with a detailed analysis of the patent disputes that have shaped the industrial destiny of monoclonal antibodies. Acquista Ora

The English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution,

The English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pestana, Carla Gardina, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Between and , England, Scotland, and Ireland faced civil war, invasion, religious radicalism, parliamentary rule, and the restoration of the monarchy. Carla Gardina Pestana offers a sweeping history that systematically connects these cataclysmic events and the development of the infant plantations from Newfoundland to Surinam. By , the English Atlantic emerged as religiously polarized, economically interconnected, socially exploitative, and ideologically anxious about its liberties. War increased both the proportion of unfree laborers and ethnic diversity in the settlements. Neglected by London, the colonies quickly developed trade networks, especially from seafaring New England, and entered the slave trade. Barbadian planters in particular moved decisively toward slavery as their premier labor system, leading the way toward its adoption elsewhere. When by the s the governing authorities tried to impose their vision of an integrated empire, the colonists claimed the rights of "freeborn English men," making a bid for liberties that had enormous implications for the rise in both involuntary servitude and slavery. Changes at home politicized religion in the Atlantic world and introduced witchcraft prosecutions. Pestana presents a compelling case for rethinking our assumptions about empire and colonialism and offers an invaluable look at the creation of the English Atlantic world.

The European Central Bank: Credibility, Transparency, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Haan, Jakob, Haan Jakob / Haan, Jakob De / Eijffinger, Sylvester C. W., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The adoption of the euro in by 11 member states of the European Union created a single currency area second in economic size only to the United States. The euro zone's monetary policy is now set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and its Governing Council rather than by individual national central banks. This CESifo volume examines issues that have arisen in the first years of ECB monetary policy and analyzes the effect that current ECB policy strategy and structures may have in the future. After a detailed description and assessment of ECB monetary policy making that focuses on such issues as price stability and the predictability of policy decisions, the book turns to two important issues faced by European central bankers: the transparency and credibility of decision making and the ECB's decentralized structure. After showing that transparency in decision making enhances credibility, the book discusses the ECB's efforts at openness, its political independence as guaranteed by law, and its ultimate accountability. The book then considers the effects of the decentralized ECB structure, focusing on business cycle synchronization, inflation differentials, and differences in monetary policy transmission in light of the enlargement of the monetary union. The book also discusses options for ECB institutional reforms, including centralization, vote weighting, and cross-border regional banks.
