Things at the school have begun to fall into a pattern, and the books have arrived. However, the class schedule continues to threaten to change. This makes preparation a bit on the difficult side.

Tubas, Palestine.

For lunch (the big noontime meal, and the one after which you're supposed to nap), we were invited to one of our fellow teacher's homes in Tubas. He is working on his Master's Thesis on radon concentrations in homes in Nablus at Al-Najah University. Unfortunately, access to materials (books, journals, etc.) is severely limited, so we've been poking around on the Internet to see what we can find. Any chemistry profs poking around our page wanna send resources to him?
