It presents a several-stage herbal speculative method, developed with reference to the assumptions guiding contemporary posthu-manism. In the first part, the article addresses the practice of conscious breathing with plants, challenging the traditional anthropocentric paradigm of herbalism. It then discusses the successive stages of the method: sensory familiarization with the plant, the role of voice (including call and response), and the importance of performative incantations and murmurs. The problem of the rela-tionship between people and plants in contaminated areas is also addressed. An important part of the method described is speculation, which involves weaving a narrative about the plant and col-lectively creating its imaginative depiction. The practice ends with collating speculation with bo-tanical facts. This method combines mindfulness practices with the development of an approach based on knowledge and care.

To make VPN circuit handed over on cell-by-cell traverse, a VPN agent exists in MM-MAN access networks, and VPN server in each office network. Tunneling between VPN server in LAN of home office, and VPN agent in the MM-MAN is used to support macro-mobility. To support high level business activities, all information which can reveal business activities should be hidden from the third party. To be neutral, private address is used as a source and destination in each VPN connection even to designate IP terminals in its own office, and is used even during the VPN setup to terminals in the Internet. Micro-mobility support for high-speed and high-bit rate terminals is a role of PON (passive optical network) as an access network. Multicast communication is used in a PON access network to construct logical macro-cell in order to allow smooth handover for high-speed terminal.","PeriodicalId":36912,"journal":{"name":"Czas Kultury","volume":"1 1","pages":"2047-2052 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74187487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
