Romance, history, culture, intrigue . . . all in one book. This is based on a true story written by no less than a great-granddaughter of the central character, a Spanish Catholic priest of the friar orders. In the late nineteenth century, Father Antolin Frias occupies a significant position as administrator in the churches of Cebu in the Philippines, while the entire colony, Las Islas Filipinas, is on the verge of rebellion against the Spanish colonizers. Caught in a web of intrigue and romance, the priest is a man who struggles to liberate himself from the tyranny of his own life. Around him brews a boiling cauldron of violence and bloodshed as the nation struggles toward freedom from oppression. He knows freedom comes only with truth. Both man and nation must seek truth. But the truth is elusive and comes at a high price. With a touch of Jungian psychology and Hegelian philosophy, the book contains discussions of facts, folklore, and reflections. This adds credibility to the writers romantic interpretation of the characters own conflicts and moral struggle, as narrated by each of them in the first person. The book also contains a documentary made up of old photographs of the family and relevant historical places.

The Project's origin As a consequence of the so-called "first oil crisis", the interest in solar electricity generation rose sharply after 1973. The solar ther mal way of solving the problem was attractive because the main task was simply to replace the fossil fuel by a "solar fuel" in an other wise conventional thermal power plant -that was at least what many thought at that time. Thus more than half a dozen of solar thermal plant projects were created in the mid-seventies. One of them is the Small Solar Power Systems (SSPS) Project of the International Energy Agency (lEA). It consists of the design, development, construction, operation, test and evaluation of two dissimilar small solar thermal electric power systems each ~t a nominal power of 500 kW . e ITET and TOAB In order to assist the Operating Agent (DFVLR - Deutsche Forschungs und Versuchsansta1t fUr Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V. ) in managing the project, the Executive Committee (EC) created two bodies called the "International Test and Evaluation Team" (ITET) and the "Test and Operation Advisory Board" (TOAB). The latter consisted of a group of experts from the different participating countries, meeting three to four times a year to articulate i. a. the technical interests and expectations of the different parties in the project. It was the TOAB that formulated e. g.
