"Two decorated American war heroes survive combat in Afghanistan only to find themselves on an unfamiliar battlefield--the courtroom--in this true story by the commander of Delta Company, 1/506th a.k.a. Dog Company. The deaths of two of his men is agony for Captain Roger Hill and the agony is intensified when he realizes those responsible--12 Taliban spies--have been working right under his nose on the American base. When unreasonable military regulations demand that he free the spies within 96 hours, and Hill can''t get his superior officer to respond to the deadline, he takes action to intimidate the prisoners to confess--and to protect his company from another attack. Instead of being thanked, Hill''s superior brings him up on charges making this decorated officer''s next battle a personal one--for his honor and for that of 1st Sergeant Tommy Scott, his second in command. Combining the camaraderie and battle action of Band of Brothers with the military courtroom drama of A Few Good Men, Roger Hill''s story will leave you impassioned, inspired and forever changed"--Provided by publisher.

Nesten fire år gammel overlevde Colton sprukket blindtarm. Etterpå kunne han fortelle at han var utenfor kroppen under operasjonen, og skildret nøyaktig hva foreldrene holdt på med akkurat da i en annen del av sykehuset. Han snakket om besøket i himmelen, gjenfortalte samtaler og møter med avdøde slektninger. Dette er Coltons fortelling, gjengitt av faren. Den gir oss et glimt av en verden der "ingen er gamle og ingen bruker briller", ifølge Colton.

The use of Controlled Internal Drug Release devices (CIDRs) have been used widely in the livestock industry to aid in estrus synchronization. It has become common practice to re-use CIDRs. Effectiveness of twice used inserts has recently been investigated, however practical means of disinfection are warranted. Objectives of the current study were to evaluate efficiency of re-used CIDRs, identify potential disinfectant methods to minimize cost, as well as to test if prolonged storage of CIDR affects progesterone release. Two experiments took place; Replication 1 (Fall 2016) and Replication 2 (Spring 2017); with 29 and 36 cows respectively with an average age of 3.9 in each experiment with animals blocked by age into treatment groups. Cows utilized were mixed age heifers and cows that were both lactating and non-lactating. All re-used CIDRs had previously been inserted in beef cows for 7 days. After removal, all CIDRs were washed in room temperature water (23° C) and scrubbed with a plastic bristled brush to remove foreign matter. Each animal received a CIDR disinfected in one of four treatment which included; new (CONT), autoclaved (AUTO), dishwasher (DISH) and chlorhexidine disinfected (CHLO). AUTO treatment CIDRS were processed and autoclaved at 121° C and 724 mmHg for 20 mins, DISH disinfected CIDRs were placed in a dishwasher and processed through one hot cycle (70° C) on high with chlorhexidine as the detergent, and in CHLO treatment the inserts were soaked in approximately 15 L of hot water (50° C) which included approximately 200 ml of chlorhexidine solution. The experimental period lasted 7 days with blood samples collected via coccygeal tail vessel at 0, 72, 168 ±2 h relative to CIDR insertion time. No age differences were found between treatment groups (P = 0.21). Interactions were not observed between Replication 1 and Replication 2 for treatments, however, a replication effect was observed (P = 0.0012). Higher overall progesterone levels were reported in fall 2016 compared to spring 2017. Overall plasma progesterone concentrations were not affected (P = 0.24) by CIDR treatment (AUTO, 3.31 ± 0.62 ng/ml; CHLO, 3.86 ± 0.62 ng/ml; DISH, 4.18 ± 0.60 ng/ml) when compared to the control (CONT, 2.75 ± 0.60 ng/ml). Disinfecting once used CIDRs with chlorhexidine and warm water solution allows for a second use without affecting progesterone release.
