The main body of terrorists group was eliminated during the operation in Sydney, Popov's  second self was assassinated. Their plans were destroyed, and and the rest of  eco-terrorists had to retreat to their refuge deep in the Brazilian rain forest, hoping to negotiate a deal to return to the United States. Clark, knowing that they may never be put on trial, tracked down the Brazilian hideout and deploys Rainbow to the location. With some  proprietary designs of Rainbow's Israeli colleagues , they had succeeded  to ping the route of Popov, who hadn't  noticed the navigational bug on the transport. The area of further attack was hidden in the dense foliage of the fertile forest, with hiding terrorists. There were two camouflaged hangars, a control point and an underground shelter for the criminal  tactical tasks and  discussions of Popov's watch-dogs. Eddie Price with Louis Loiselle and Geoff Bates  with Fred Franklin  ( under the offence patronage of Bing and Clark ) were forced to assault this hideout.  The Team (1 and 2)  destroyed  successfully enemy combat units , with full weapon controll of the situation and leading cross-fire. C4 bomb was defused and the remaining unarmed criminals  were captured.  After Rainbow had defeated the eco-terrorists' militia force and destroyed their facility and supplies, Clark had the survivors stripped naked and left to die, taunting them to "reconnect with nature."  For his critical assistance, Popov hadn't  charged for his role in the attacks. The Horizon Corporation continued as a legitimate pharmaceutical corporation, without their CEO and the other employees involved in the never-revealed plot. The threat of mass destruction of humanity by weapons of chemical hazard had been eliminated, but the fight against terrorism wasn't over. Rainbow Agency became the turning point for future development of anti-terrorism structures, giving US and not only governments and secret agencies its pejorative force and an ability to complete every mission , practically without any losses.

Stanley,  Clark , Covington , Chavez , Bellow and Bill Tawney  were quite dismayed by these events and couldn't understand why some of these old  authorities , as Carlos the Jackal  (  criminal kings, master terrorists ) -  were trying to enter the battle again, being identified by main law enforcement agencies, intelligences and assault brigades. Trying to find some information about last events, Rainbow was forced to give it's fighther some days to relax and to come to the tonus and to deal with some search activity (the study of archives, scanning of old secret documents, the use of prohibited by the state LANs and other surfing work). Unknown to the Rainbow, radical eco-terrorists from a biotechnology firm  the Horizon Corporation have orchestrated the previous attacks, having hired ex-KGB officer Dimitriy Popov ( which was already introduced to us ) to foment the incidents. The increase in terror attacks helped their security firm land a contract during the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. From within the Olympic security apparatus, they planned to launch a sophisticated bioweapon attack intended to wipe out the majority of the human race ( the virus, based on the decreasing of   level of intelligence and vital motivation  was suppressed by all other reflexes and immune-alert systems of the man.)  For terrorists, the success of this experience could only mean one thing - the ability to wage war by chemical attacks with a quite high possibility chance. Upon learning about Rainbow, Popov hired some members of the PIRA  to take over a local hospital in Hereford near Rainbow's base, take Clark and Chavez's wives hostage, and ambush one of Rainbow's squads. But fortunately, Rainbow and the SAS support, that was used by Stanley connections  retook the hospital, capturing some of the terrorists. Interrogation revealed Popov's involvement in instigating the attack.   The Rainbow focused on main enemy of their agencie and the whole world , and the target of manhunt was the Dmitriy Popov , that was at Horizon's secret base in Kansas hiding from SAS . Popov contacted Clark and told him about his plan to capture Sydney Stadion in order to start his eco-terrorist act from that place and to lead the whole humanity to the edge of life and death. But rapid actions of Miguel  Chin and Julio Vega with their master Ding Chavez, who were there as a security consultants with all neccessary technical equipment, weapons, communication devices,  and the basis of combat team.  The actions of terrorists without clear guidance of their master were at the low level of fighting and mental capability and were successfully eliminated by the squad.

After a certain stage in the development of military and tactical operative patterns both of teams, led by John Clark, the  Technical Department of the Rainbow agencie was forced to order a modern tracking system of external radio signals, which have a chance to be as a supportive hand, and  the basis of any possible mission on  rescuing hostages. The relationship in both  Rainbow divisions was really high voltaged. This was due to the passive ,inaction of one of the groups (and we should say, that both of teams were perfectly prepared for any operation, connected with active or stealth military actions), but the  last ( but not the least )chance  was given to Chavez group.The following strength test of a  newfound secret agency, was connected with their third mission .The object of capture was an amusement park in Spain, Madrid. A group of terrorists besieged сompletely one of the most popular attractions in the park without  any specific requirements ( which were about 35 children, at the moment of rapid capture ).Doctor Paul Bellow and Bill Tawney , who was ex- MI6 special agent had a mission to establish a mental connetions of those terrorists, to accomplish this mission without and losses, and maybe to arrest several criminals. After a short term negotiations, it has became clear that the  main demand was the release of terrorist Carlos the Jackal - Ilich Ramírez Sánchez ( a Venezuelan citizen currently serving a life sentence in France for the 1975 murder of two French counter-intelligence agents and an informant for the French government.) While in prison he was further convicted of attacks in France that killed 11 and injured 150 people and sentenced to an additional life term. A committed Marxist-Leninist, Ramírez Sánchez is widely regarded as one of the most famous political terrorists of his era. He was one of the most dangerous criminals in world and his release could cause a very serious damage to the global terrorist security ( and especially, Europe and North America.) This operation was one of the the most difficult for the Rainbow group, and that's why Clark and Alistair Stanley decided  to use both Teams 1 and 2. The chance of  moratal risk of civilian casualties was at an extremely high level. Moreover,   absolutely all of these hostages were children, which complicated the process of preparation for Rainbow's mission. (Children have a clear,  young  minds , but also can make some ill-considered actions, and accoding to  Bellow's degree of rage analysis, the terrorists were coolly confident in their success. The plan was to use squads' stealth skills in order to besiege the area of capture. The terrorists were located the best way for Rainbow. Some of them were  at the entrance to the park, the other part  was near the attraction with children and  the remaining group of criminals patroled the area.The tactic was a sharp and sudden. The two groups quickly rushed to the park, using pistols with silencers removed patrol base and  showered enemy with smoke bombs (the risk was high) .During the stand-off, Rainbow was unable to prevent the terrorists' execution of a terminally ill Dutch girl. The squads manage to eliminate the terrorists without further loss of innocent life.

W. Somerset Maugham - "In a Strange Land" .

Author:  Maugham, William Somerset , 1874–1965, English writer, b. Paris. He was noted as an expert storyteller and a master of fiction technique. An introverted child afflicted with a stammer, Maugham was orphaned at 10 and sent to live with his uncle, a vicar. Although he later studied medicine and completed his internship, he never practiced, having decided at an early age to devote himself to literature. He lived in grand style, spending much of his life on the French Riviera and traveling widely, particularly to East Asia and the South Pacific. Maugham wrote with wit and irony, frequently expressing an aloofly cynical attitude toward life. Famous as a dramatist before he became known for his novels and short stories, he achieved his first success with the sardonically humorous play Lady Frederick (1907). This was followed by a series of commercial successes, the best being The Circle (1921), Our Betters (1923), and The Constant Wife(1927).
 Title :  If we speak about  direct title of this story, it means something unknown, enclosed space for a person , a new territory without it current exploration, and if we speak about the indirect meaning of it, it means a splitting by our  nature , the eternity of wanderings ( the Islands are static, just a surreal event of a planetary scale can rejoin  them to mix into one substance - just as the uniqueness of characters' birthplaces).
Themes:  The first theme it's a different polarities of people from one country - even  we are from one state, our blood rages with different colors, and the history of this novel is largely related to the insurmountable odds of people . And the second theme is connected with the issue of spiritual unity of all humankind. We are all brothers and sisters, no matter what many other people say, andt we have only to understand and accept "the human thought" (globally ) with our mental way of living through the gloom of the world  - in fact, we are not so different and we want to love and be loved, to live happily, to have good health.

Summary:This story tells us about a man-traveler, whose lead aim isn't the wish to see the  cultural saturation of these countries,  but the  desire to explore the human factor, ( simply -  to find new and interesting people. )And during the development of the story, he visited Anadolu, where he found an amazing woman- Signora Niccolini, an English woman. Her story is very sensitive one - she was in the family of rich English man, as a house-keeper, and found her love there , a man , that also worked in that mension. Their love was rapid, they decided to earn some money in order to travel to Turkey and to buy a small hotel there. And so the did it, but after several years her husband had died and she had to stay there within his help and with HIS children, adopted with all her support ( and another special feature of this woman, that the  feeling of home country as the country of Turkey wasn't inside her heart, she was an English-woman with really strong roots ).

Main Idea:    The main idea of this story is that being born in one country, you can't feel the same love for  the other country (even if you was brought up there,  I suppose) because something inextricably linked between your  heart and place of your appearance into the world has always beckons you up to the end of your life.

 Charatcer Sketch  :  Signora Niccolini is an independent woman, a true fighter and devoted wife, a woman who knows the price of a  material prosperity and the struggle for survival in a harsh world (working as a house-keeper helped her in a lot) She lives with her  children in Turkey, the widow of the Italian man, who had accepted husband"s illegitimate children, like her own. Her life is a symbol of resistantnce of a character to the unfair events and patriotic love of the homeland, even miles away fromher home "Pinata".

My own impression:  I liked this story, because it has as main aim to show us woman's gratuitous love and  feeling of compassion and strength of character. The death of her husband - a serious blow for this woman, but she didn't give up his children and took the fuul control over the situation. I give my great sincere respect for such people, the patriots of the soul,  to the support -unit for others.

After their fist Team success , the group had to be ready for another mission, which was connected with the theme of unlimited access to the resources of the U.S. economic strategies. A  wealthy Austrian businessman, Erwin Ostermann, was the main target of two extremists, hired by Popov ( They were just pawns, but perfectly trained pawns, with an ability to eliminate any person, execute  calmly  the order of thier  master). Such people were Hans Fürstner and Petra Dortmund. With the help of five terrorists-supporters, and Hans and Petra took and sieged the area of security entrance near  the schloss of Osterman. They were armed with tommy-guns and a number of grenades - by the standards of the hostage-taking, their armament could be called "lightweight" one.
Meanwhile, the project of creating of abiovirusafor the masses of humanity to their further  extermination continued. A team of scientists observed a remarkable changes in the structure of cell membranes in the body of one of the patients, the homeless. The already low level of intelligence and vital motivation was suppressed by all other reflexes and immune-alert systems of the man. The liver, kidneys and other vital organs were completely subordinate to the effect of chemical injection and could harldy give the subject  to live a few more weeks. For terrorists, the success of this experience could only mean one thing - the ability to wage war by chemical attacks with a quite high possibility chance.
 John Terrence Clark,  Alistair Stanley and ranger Chavez  got special drafts for the briefing of the mission and Team 2  was raised to the firing position to perform the task rescue of the hostages and elimination of the  terrorists in Ostermann  Schloss .  The challenge was great, 'cause of  the high level of  terrorists professionalism and their violent mood (the analysis was  masterfully conducted by  Doctor Paul Bellow.) The building was located near the forest mass, that just  surrounded it with huge green hand. The lighting was almost zero (by the request of SAS agencie , the electricity in the whole area has been turned off in order to make the possibility of creating a base for the Team 2. Dieter Weber and Homer Johnston and their control points were elevated near the side walls of the house, so in camouflage with sniper rifles, they could have a dignified fire support. George Tomlinson , Hank Patterson,  Mike Pierce and Steve Lincoln were in the sssault brigade, which aim was to break out of the shelter apart from the basin and attack the enemies. Upon an additional request of John Clark and Rainbow (who watched all the action and movementon the Israeli covert analog channel technology) were equipped with powerful spotlights to create an illusion of lighting area near the house, in which the terrorists and hostages were to move in the direction of the helicopter. Chavez himself has decided to go to a hidden attack.  Meanwhile, the terrorists were at the limit of thier mentally critical condition and were ready to kill the hostages. They knew nothing about the action of Rainbow squad t, and only assumed that they were being watched only by local police and the press. (Another problem was the possibility of using mobile phone by a hostage , who could get some information from outside about  the impending operation to rescue the hostages. The mission had began around the midnight. Snipers eliminated static objects in the rooms and lobby, scared newbie-terrorists rushed toward the helicopter and were suppressed by fire attack team, and Petra and Hans, who were more experienced and more severe , decided to go deep into the mansion, but Chavez and Vega headshooted them with the couple of accurate shots .

Rendering - Week 12

The article was published on  Phys.org site,   on October 4, 2012 by Angela Herring and which is called "Are we justified in our fights to save endangered species?" and discusses the problem of  rapidly changing ecosystem conditions, that make it unfeasible and ethically inappropriate to maintain species preservation as a primary ecosystem management goal. The author admits, that many of the current conservation efforts remain appropriate, including protecting the wilderness and establishing wildlife corridors and moreover, adds, that different efforts to preserve species endangered by climate change are a costly and ineffective protocol .Angela Herring can't ignore the fact ,that  such issues of species modification and the creation of new species through genetic engineering are essential.  The author points out the fact, that there is nothing intrinsically problematic with genetic modification, and an important ethical question isn't  "genetically modified" ',but rather other issues like human rights and public health and in order to prove his words he used the example of two distinct genetically modified organisms with vastly different social implications. Analysing the situation, it's neccessary to admit, that the first is a genetically modified grass created to improve golf fairway conditions that's resistant to herbicide and can quickly spread to other areas.  It wouldn't be unfair for the author not to say , that enetically modified yeast strain created to produce artemisinic acid, a precursor to an effective antimalarial drug, helps people in low-​​income countries by addressing their basic health needs.  It's a noticeable fact that , with respect to humans, many people have argued that the Homo sapiens species has special moral significance that sets it apart from other species. In conclusion, the author gives us  a chance to understand his aim message, speaking, that the reason we should be more concerned about the welfare of a human being isn't because it's Homo sapiens but because of their cognitive and psychological capacities. In my opinion, the author's words have a great degree of prophecy if we speak about a future life. The rescue of drowning is the case of drowning. But in this case, this winged phrase doesn't  make any sense, because the opportunity to save the natural world only in the hands of people.
