New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo mountains are a place where two cultures — Hispanic and Anglo — meet. They''re also the place where three men meet: William deBuys, a young writer; Alex Harris, a young photographer; and Jacobo Romero, an old farmer. When Harris and deBuys move to New Mexico in the 1970s, Romero is the neighbor who befriends them and becomes their teacher. With the tools of simple labor — shovel and axe, irony and humor — he shows them how to survive, even flourish, in their isolated village. A remarkable look at modern life in the mountains, River of Traps also magically evokes the now-vanished world in which Romero tended flocks on frontier ranges and absorbed the values of a society untouched by cash or Anglo America. His memories and wisdom, shared without sentimentality, permeate this absorbing story of three men and the place that forever shaped their lives.

From this historic collaboration between a beloved naturalist and a great American photographer emerges a South we’ve never encountered before. Entranced by Edward O. Wilson’s mesmerizing evocation of his Southern childhood in The Naturalist and Anthill, Alex Harris approached the scientist about collaborating on a book about Wilson’s native world of Mobile, Alabama. Perceiving that Mobile was a city small enough to be captured through a lens yet old enough to have experienced a full epic cycle of tragedy and rebirth, the photographer and the naturalist joined forces to capture the rhythms of this storied Alabama Gulf region through a swirling tango of lyrical words and breathtaking images. With Wilson tracing his family’s history from the Civil War through the Depression—when mule-driven wagons still clogged the roads—to Mobile’s racial and environmental struggles to its cultural triumphs today, and with Harris stunningly capturing the mood of a radically transformed city that has adapted to the twenty-first century, the book becomes a universal story, one that tells us where we all come from and why we are here.

Achieve and the U.S. Education Delivery Institute have developed a practical Common Core Implementation Workbook for all states in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). This workbook uses a proven performance management methodology known as "delivery" to lay out clear action steps for states and districts. It provides relevant information, case stories of good practice, key questions and hands-on exercises for leadership teams to complete together. Regardless of one''s timeline, the workbook offers state and district leaders the means to plan for the CCSS and then drive successful implementation. The workbook begins with a diagnostic assessment to help readers determine where their Common Core State Standards (CCSS) implementation effort is going well and areas of challenge that merit additional attention. After the diagnostic, the next sections of the workbook focus on how the state agency and school districts can organize for implementation. The workbook then offers a set of implementation actions that consist of the actual work of the CCSS transition. Chapters 5 and 6 help readers answer the critical questions for two key actions: how to align curricular and instructional materials and how to train educators on the CCSS. The workbook ends with Chapter 11, which answers the final question--how to monitor progress and sustain momentum, a topic that obviously applies across all the implementation actions. Individual chapters contain endnotes. ["Implementing Common Core State Standards and Assessments: A Workbook for State and District Leaders" was written with the assistance of Marie O''Hara and Lauren Kurczewski. This paper was developed with the U.S. Education Delivery Institute.].

Jesus traveled to India when he was thirteen years old and spent about fourteen years at various places like Jagannathpuri, Varanasi, Tibet, Ladakh, and Kashmir. The book describes the circumstances that forced Jesus to leave his native town, Nazareth and sojourn in India. At that time, Brahmanism, a primeval faith, was in vogue in India and polytheism, idol-worship, and animal sacrifices had been the order of the day. Young Jesus had to deal with the orthodox, superstitious priests and local rulers. A clash of ideologies landed Jesus in trouble his adversaries even trying to kill him. How he escaped unscathed from the death traps laid by his enemies forms the thrilling story of the marvelous adventures of Jesus in India. The Son of God had not only performed several miracles like healing the sick and the disabled, but also successfully transformed the hearts and minds of many with his piety and powerful preaching. Jesus had also confronted some deadly skull-men and a wicked king at Varanasi who again created life-threatening situations for him. Protected by the Lord, Jesus had escaped to take shelter in a Buddhist monastery at Tibet. Complete details of this mysterious phase of Jesus'' life had been recorded by a team of Tibetan Buddhist monks who venerated him as their reincarnated Buddha. A fervent proponent of nonviolence, Jesus had saved umpteen number of animals from getting slaughtered at the altars, but ironically he himself became a sacrificial lamb when he returned to his own country.

"The study of steroid metabolism began in the eighteenth century with the demonstration of the presence of several steroids (cholesterol and the bile acids) in the animal organism. The discovery of the steroid hormones and the realization of their wide physiological significance, however, diverted the attention of most workers in the field to the study of those steroids possessing endocrine activity. Only cholesterol, by virtue of the abundance of this sterol in all mammalian tissues and its importance in pathological conditions, continued to be investigated. [...]" --
