Loin d''être parfaits, les hommes et les femmes de la bible n''étaient pas des gens ordinaires pour autant. Dans la foi, certains ont trouvé de la puissance pour diriger. Pour sauver. Pour vaincre le mal. D''autres ont cédé à l''attrait des ténèbres. Mais il fallait plus : un héros ultime. Pour mener le combat ultime.

For courses in Reading Methods, Content Area Reading (Middle/Secondary), and Social Studies Methods (Secondary) American history teachers get the tools they need to teach students to use academic vocabulary and language to read, write, and think like historians. In this new practical professional resource, middle and secondary level American history teachers see how to engage in history in order to ignite student debates over topics or issues; read, write and think like historians to help students organize the domain-specific vocabulary words into ways that make sense; use general academic vocabulary and language to help students explore and learn about the past; and tap into the powerful roots of English to become equipped with the tools to help students become independent word learners for the rest of their lives. After setting the stage for teaching vocabulary in history, 12 independent American history units cover the four stages in domain-specific vocabulary instruction and related core activities and strategies, including building background knowledge, thinking like a historian, connecting vocabulary in context, and assessing vocabulary knowledge. The units parallel eras in American history and the related chapters generally found in American history textbooks. They provide flexibility for use as the teacher sees fit, with an eye to students'' needs and instructional objectives. Three helpful appendices include a look at the big picture graphic organizers customized for teach of the 12 units, three generative vocabulary assessments, and history teachers'' favorite go-to generic graphic organizers and ready-to-use blank templates.

"Commercial and recreational fishing are important to the economy and culture of Hawaii. The deep-slope bottomfish commercial fishery preferentially targets seven high value ''Deep-7'' species (i.e, six snappers and one grouper, hereafter referred to as bottomfish). The NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Stock Assessment Program is responsible for regularly conducting assessments of bottomfish. The stock assessment process requires reliable time-series of catches, fishing effort and life history demographics to estimate stock abundance trends and evaluate sustainability benchmarks. Current bottomfish stock assessments that rely solely on fishery-dependent abundance indices may be biased (Ault et al., 2014). A series of workshops convened in 2001-2005 evaluated existing bottomfish stock assessment methodologies in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR; Mace et al., 2001; Ralston et al., 2004). Mace et al. (2001) noted that the greatest impediment to credible bottomfish stock assessments was the lack of accurate and precise input data. To improve abundance estimates, Ralston et al. (2004) recommended development of a fishery-independent survey using available ''advanced technologies''. A 2005 workshop on Ecosystem Science and Management Planning reiterated the pressing need for a design and implementation of population-level fishery-independent survey to obtain size-structured abundance data for bottomfish, and to aggressively pursue development of length-based assessment models. This goal of this technical report was to improve stock assessments through optimal design and implementation of a bottomfish fishery-independent survey for the Deep-7 bottomfish complex in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) with three primary objectives: 1. Evaluate the most effective survey gears for obtaining species-specific spatial size structured abundance metrics of the Hawaiian bottomfish stock; 2. Conduct quantitative gears intercalibration studies to determine the relative fishing power of the multiple gears to be used in the survey; 3. Detail the required methodologies for efficient conduct of a multi-gear fishery-independent Survey of the MHI bottomfish stocks"--Executive summary.

"Using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and towed camera system (TCS), deep-sea corals, sponges, and seafloor habitats were visually surveyed for the first time in areas of longtime trawl fishing off northern California. During an 11-day cruise aboard the R/V Point Sur 8-18 September 2014, researchers completed 6 dives with the AUV and 9 deployments of the TCS, and spent over 42 hours underwater at depths of 586-1169 meters from the Oregon- California border to the Mendocino Ridge (...) This report provides a summary of the methods and results from these underwater surveys of DSC&S off northern California. This was a collaborative effort among investigators from NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Northwest Fisheries Science Center [NWFSC], Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center [PIFSC], and Alaska Fisheries Science Center [AFSC]) and several universities including California State University (Humboldt State University and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories), University of California Santa Cruz, and Oregon State University"--Page 1.

Zack Delacruz is unnoticed at his middle school—and that’s just the way he likes it. But a school assembly, a typhoon of spit, and an uncharacteristic moment of bravery are all it takes to change everything. Suddenly Zack is in charge of the class fundraiser. Worse, his partner is the school’s biggest bully! If they don’t sell all the chocolate bars, there will be no dance for the sixth grade. Zack never wanted to be a hero, but with his classmates’ hopes on the line, can he save the day?

How will God make himself known to you? “This work begs to be read by anyone who wishes to see the invisible God.”—Dr. Tony Evans, president of The Urban Alternative, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship How do we have a relationship with a God we can’t see? There must be more to the Christian life than silence, and more to God than a vacant stare. Divine Applause weaves together biblical insights and personal stories that illustrate the surprising ways God connects with us. Let Jeff Anderson show you how to use your spiritual senses to experience God: • Sense God’s personal attention in unmistakable ways. • Cultivate a constant awareness of God’s presence. • Enjoy the reward of secrets between you and God. • Take risks to break out of a status-quo life and connect more directly with God. • Discover the intensity of God’s interest in you. You don’t have to settle for a distant walk with God. He wants you to know that He notices—and that He delights in you.

From its greatest heroes to its darkest villains...the Bible as never seen before! The men and women of the Bible were not perfect, but nor were they ordinary. Faith gave some power. To lead. To save. To destroy evil. Others succumbed to the darkness. But still more was required. An ultimate hero. To fight the ultimate battle. Internationally recognised artists Jeff Anderson (Transformers, award-winning Angouleme Graphic Bible) and Siku (Judge Dredd, Manga Bible) recreate the epic stories of the Bible through their powerful and arresting illustrations.

Revision is often a confusing and difficult process for students, but it''s also the most important part of the writing process. If students leave our classrooms not knowing how to move a piece of writing forward, we''ve failed them. Revision Decisions will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean have written a book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing. Focusing on sentences, Jeff and Deborah use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. Essential to their process is the concept of classroom talk. Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how each student can benefit from talking through the revision process as a group. Revision Decisions focuses on developing both the writing and the writer. The easy-to-follow lessons make clear and accessible the rigorous thinking and the challenging process of making writing work. Narratives, setup lessons, templates, and details about how to move students toward independence round out this essential book. Additionally, the authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core and other standards into an integrated and connected practice. The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing "floats on a sea of talk." Revision Decisions supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.

Abstract: Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) perform various task that are essential for tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor invasion. Growth factors, chemokines, cytokines and the extra cellular matrix in the tumor microenvironments signal the TAMs to perform these tasks. The tumor microenvironment is not homogeneous and can be classified into several distinct regions such as sites of tumor invasion, perivascular, hypoxic and stromal regions. Each of these sites likely has different cytokines and signaling molecules in their microenvironment that might signal and direct the function of TAMs. The purpose of this project is to isolate and analyze TAMs from distinct tumor regions to gain a better understanding of the mechanism behind the specialized role of these TAMs. As a first step towards this goal, micro array analysis was conducted on flow sorted TAMs and developmental macrophages expressing yellow fluorescence protein (YFP). Micro array data from age matched developmental macrophages was compared to TAMS from early, premalignant stage of breast cancer, and late stage metastatic breast cancer to find the genes which were upregulated in TAMs versus developmental macrophages, and in late stage TAMs versus TAMs from the earlier premalignant stage of breast cancer. From this list of genes upregulated in TAMs, candidate cell surface macrophage markers that could be used to classify TAMs based on there association with one of the distinct tumor microenvironments was selected. These candidate markers will be used to visualize macrophages associated with different regions within the tumor microenvironment using immuno-staining of tumor sections. In preliminary work, CD16 was selected as one potential candidate gene that was upregulated late in tumor development compared to earlier stages. Immunostaining indicated CD16 was expressed on a set of macrophages near blood vessels near the tumors, but not in macrophages located within tumors. Further evaluation of these markers would facilitate isolation of different subsets of macrophages within tumor and understanding the function of these macrophages in tumor microenvironment. Another major cell group involved in all the changes in the tumor microenvironment discussed is the fibroblast. Originally the fibroblast inhibits the growth of the tumor. However through natural selection tumors evolve to change the microenvironment and like wise the function the fibroblast are performing to aid in tumor progression rather than suppress tumor progression. These fibroblast reprogrammed by the tumor cells are called tumor associated fibroblast TAFs. TAFs aid in tumor progression by angiogenesis, immune suppression, and matrix remodeling, providing growth and anti apoptotic factors and aid in metastasis by recruiting TAMs. A key gene involved with this is IKK. It is our hypothesis that ablating IKK in the fibroblast will lead to a reduction of tumor growth.
