There are a quarter million clinical laboratories in the United States alone but the techs working in those labs are seldom seen and their work is not recognized. This was particularly true during the Covid epidemic since it was those workers who ran the thousands upon thousands of Covid tests, exposed as they were to infection and working many hours of overtime so that patients could have accurate and timely results. Some of those techs speak in these pages about what it was like for them during Covid and about what it is like to work in the clinical lab, learning ever changing technology, staffing three shifts, weekends and holidays, and managing childcare and family life around this demanding job. This book chronicles the unseen work of laboratory technicians, technologists, and aides through the author's experience working in a clinical lab for more than 40 years, a time that saw astounding changes in lab technology, methodology, and testing. Most importantly, this book provides the human story of patients, diseases, and conditions diagnosed and monitored through lab work.

This book of bilingual poetry, written in English and Spanish, was created between 2021 and 2023. Marie is an international development specialist and renaissance woman, and she brings her observations into poetry that, as her writer and scientist friend Francisco says, "I see you in every poem, I feel you in each verse. I feel the litle girl that you carry inside you and the woman who is a fighter, the incomprehension with the present and the profund love you always carry." This book is divided into two halves. The first half is dedicated to personal reflections, on empowerment, rising out of depression, love, facing down enemies, and family. The second half is dedicated to social justice themed poetry, inspired by work, readings, travels, interviews, etc. This half touches on popular culture, climate justice, loss of freedoms, a woman's place in the world, the world we are creating for the next generation. Marie is an artist, and painted the book cover as well as designed several deocrative word clouds for the interior. This book, even more than many previous tomes, was a labor of love for the writer. All works have been hand translated into both English and Spanish.

Ink and Paradox is a book by Paul Cambria that offers an original and multidimensional vision of Italy and its less known or disseminated facet among foreigners. The book is a source of close and detailed knowledge of the true essence of the Italian culture, although it uses as a background the apparent central theme of the book, more specifically, the parts in which he narrates his experiences with a pen that disappears and that leads him to explore different realities and paradoxes. With the pen called LK-99, he can change the past and the future by modifying what is written. However, the pen disappears and reappears in different places and times, creating a mystery for Cambria. His eccentric neighbor, writer and quantum physicist, introduces him to the art of quantum writing, which consists of using words to create multiple realities. He also faces the Montblanc paradox when he tries to write a review for his neighbor's book using the pen. The pen creates a feedback loop that prevents him from finishing the review, as each change he makes affects the book itself and vice versa.This document talks about: - **Italian wisdom**: The main theme of the document is the exploration of the Italian wisdom of self-deprecation and irony, a coping strategy that reflects the complex and contradictory realities of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance¹[1]. It can be examined by the use of humor and satire in Italian literature, art, and media²[2].- **Threads of resilience**: The document discusses how the Italian wisdom stems from the historical experience of being the makers and the sufferers of the Western civilization, and manifests itself in the flexibility, creativity, and critique of the Italian culture3[3]. It also analyzes how the Italian wisdom can transform our perception of reality, reveal the beauty in the brokenness, and inspire us to live with grace and joy⁴[4].- **Threads of artistry**: The document explores how the Italian wisdom of self-deprecation and irony is like a finely woven tapestry-a mix of resilience, creativity, and wit⁵[5]. It shows how the Italian art is a mirror of the human condition, and how it incorporates irony, satire, and paradox in its masterpieces⁶[6]. It also illustrates how the Italian humor flourishes on stereotypes, and how the Italian cuisine is a harmony of flavors and contradictions.

La vida de Jesús F. Vásquez ha estado marcada por el deseo impetuoso de salir adelante, de progresar sin importar las dificultades o limitaciones que pudiera enfrentar.Creció en un ambiente humilde, guiado por su madre y aconsejado sabiamente por su abuela, una de esas señoras que tiene el poder de influir positivamente en aquellas personas a las que rodea.Desde muy joven dio muestras de liderazgo y amor por su patria. Aprendió a amar la honradez y esforzarse por ser un hombre a prueba de corrupción, algo que, lastimosamente, es absolutamente raro en estos tiempos, donde la dignidad tiene precio y la justicia se vende al mejor postor.El amor a su patria, que está siendo carcomida por el cáncer de la corrupción, lo motivó a tomar cartas en el asunto, y elegir una posición activa para derrotar a las fuerzas nefastas que estaban pudriendo los cimientos de la sociedad: El narcotráfico y la corrupción política, que en algunos puntos se hacen indistinguibles los unos de los otros.Tomada esta decisión, decide aceptar un trabajo ofrecido por la DEA, para obtener pruebas incriminatorias sobre algunos personajes importantes de la vida pública peruana, que, debido a su labor como piloto de avión, tenía en su círculo cercano.Esta labor puso en riesgo su vida, y significa una amenaza real en la actualidad, pero esta situación, antes de detenerlo, lo motiva a seguir adelante. Su valentía y disposición ante la necesidad social del Perú se hacen apremiantes, y no hay tiempo para el egoísmo o la cobardía.A lo largo del proceso ha tenido que lidiar también, como si no fuera suficiente lo que ya enfrenta, con la prensa mercenaria, corrupta y vendida al poder económico vigente.Ha enfrentado calumnias, montajes (incluso algunos de amplia difusión, que posteriormente han sido desmentidos), amenazas de muerte y acusaciones y demandas, de las cuales ha salido airoso en todo momento.Aunque ha recibido millonarias ofertas por su silencio, siempre se ha mantenido en su palabra, y sus declaraciones cuentan con amplia credibilidad en los entes nacionales e internacionales. Sus testimonios hacen parte de importantes procesos que han significado, incluso, la caída de candidaturas presidenciales y de altos funcionarios del gobierno, así como de empresarios corruptos.Sus antecedentes judiciales están absolutamente limpios, tanto en Perú como en Estados Unidos, y es considerado uno de los peruanos más reconocidos y respetables ante la opinión pública internacional.Es una fuente de consulta para muchos medios internacionales que buscan visibilizar la corrupción que, lastimosamente, vive nuestro amado Perú, ante la mirada cómplice e indolente de aquellos que, por seguir apegados a los beneficios del poder, venden a su pueblo por un plato de lentejas.Este libro es el compendio de algunos de los procesos en los que el autor ha tenido injerencia directa y que son conocidos por la opinión pública. Algunos datos y testimonios han dejado de incluirse en el presente libro al tratarse de documentos clasificados que se encuentran activos en algunos procesos judiciales por narcotráfico y corrupción.Sin duda alguna, este material servirá de inspiración para aquellos que hoy, cansados de ver sucumbir a su país en la constante cadena de destrucción, quieran alzar su voz para evitar que nuestra patria caiga irremediablemente en el abismo de la degradación social.
