In addition to fascinating examples of speciation by mutation and the lesser-known processes of sexual recombination and polyploidy, Howard Stutz examines the evidence from the embryo stages of human beings and other creatures to show how selection and differentiation moved development in certain favored directions while leaving behind evidence of earlier, discarded developments. With rigorous, scientific clarity—but in language accessible to a popular audience—this book proceeds to its conclusion, reached after a lifetime of study: the divine map of creation is one supported by both scientific evidence and scripture.

Foreword by Professor Emma Smith.The more you explore the plays of Shakespeare, the more you realise how they are an interrelated network of ideas and themes - linked to his context, his audience and his understanding of the world. In Bringing Forth the Bard, Zoe Enser equips busy teachers with the core knowledge that will enable them to make links between the themes, characters, language and allusions in Shakespeare's oeuvre. Each chapter includes tips on how to bring his plays to life in the classroom, and features case studies from practising teachers in a range of contexts to illustrate how they can ensure that their students develop an appreciation of his work - moving beyond the requirements of exams and empowering them to engage in the discussion around his influence and enduring appeal.Underpinned by the author's academic enquiries on the subject, at both undergraduate and master's level, the book enables teachers to access the information they need in order to enrich their teaching beyond a single play and begin to unpick the threads of Shakespeare's work as a whole. The link between subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches runs throughout the book, focusing on the Shakespeare plays most popularly taught in the classroom and how we can enrich students' understanding of these by looking both at the links across the domain and the bigger picture his work presents.Zoe builds a detailed schema of Shakespeare's work, his world, his ideas and his influences - and offers signposts to further reading and provides an appendix which will support teachers to rapidly find references to the plays they are teaching, and the ideas related to them.Suitable for teachers of English in all phases.

At some point in our lives, we should seek to learn about those family members who preceded us; setting the ground work and foundation we were born into, in this world. One such seeker of curiosity, is Chee Luang, a young Chinese woman, living in New York City, that wondered about her family heritage? She had explored the subject back in grade school; driven by a class assignment, which required each student to research their family homeland of origin/history. Fast forward, Chee, as a Pre Med student at a prestigious university, like Columbia University, then wanted more information and resorted to the popular services of “Ancestry” resources, to fill in the obvious gaps, from her grade school, class assignment. It is the unexpected results, of that same ancestral search, which sets the foundation, of the intriguing family historical quest for knowledge. That then launched Chee’s desire to fact check, from whence she came, an ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty royalty, which played a significant role in establishment of her mysterious Chinese culture and heritage? It is her strong desire, to confirm and verify her connections to her newly discovered, royal African Moorish bloodlines!

World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

The day of the Lord is fast approaching and many of His women are breaking free from the yoke of bondage from which Jesus came to set us free. We are anointed with the Holy Ghost, carrying the Sword of the Spirit, preaching deliverance to the captives, binding up the broken hearted, proclaiming salvation to the lost, and healing to the sick! No one can keep us from having what God ordained we can have except ourselves. Josh.1:3, God said to Joshua; "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you." We choose to receive our inheritance by driving out the "giants" in our own lives of fear, prejudice and tradition. As the image of God, were created to bring forth and to be a bearer of both physical and spiritual life. In addition to physical bearing of children, this function of bearing souls is the commission of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Virginia Kurko received a call from God as a teenager.
