Our life is broken up into three main parts: the past, the present, and the future. If you looked at a map of your life's journey, you'd see where you've been, where you are, and where you're going to be. Where we've been is deceived. Where we are is lost. And where we're going to be depends on what we learn from this point forward. Being lost doesn't exactly mean you're going the wrong way; it just means you need help getting pointed in the right direction. Heaven Quest will help you understand your place in God's world by first reviewing your past, then pointing out your current location and pointing you in the direction God wants you to be headed. Not only will you better understand where and who you are at this point in your life, it will show you how to become who God intended you to be. By looking at some of the greatest Bible heroes, you'll better understand the small things they did that helped them accomplish great tasks. Consider reading this book to be like the halftime of a big game. Only difference is, no matter how bad you were losing at the end of the first half, now the score is reset. You are starting with a clean slate. Using quoted Bible scriptures and easy-to-understand explanations, Heaven Quest is sure to open your eyes to what you've been missing in your Christian walk.

Heaven Quest

Learning to Shine

By: Joshua Ledesma

In Book 2 of the Heaven Quest series, this book capitalizes on the lesson of Chapter 15 from Book 1. The parable of the wheat and tares explains how the children of the kingdom will be separated from the children of the wicked one, or more importantly that the humans going to heaven will be separated from the ones going to hell. After being asked to separate good plants from unwanted weeds one day and realizing how hard it was to tell the difference in some instances, I realized that if I didn't want to be mistaken by a tare, I'd better get to work on my spiritual appearance before the angels made what I would call a big mistake! Using the Bible, this book contains practical application to simple actions applicable to your life to make sure you are not accidentally mistaken as a tare and that you also stand out as someone who, for the others in this world, will definitely be in heaven one day. With stories from King Solomon putting his hand to the plow and at some point looking back to Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to head to the Promised Land, this book contains many important lessons to help strengthen you spiritually on this journey we are all living out here on earth as we wait for the angels to come take us to heaven. It's time to do what Jesus said to do and let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Understanding Local Economic Development

Second Edition

By: Emil Malizia,Edward J. Feser,Henry Renski,Joshua Drucker

This book offers insights into the process and the practice of local economic development. Bridging the gap between theory and practice it demonstrates the relevance of theory to inform local strategic planning in the context of widespread disparities in regional economic performance. The book summarizes the core theories of economic development, applies each of these to professional practice, and provides detailed commentary on them. This updated second edition includes more recent contributions - regional innovation, agglomeration and dynamic theories – and presents the major ideas that inform economic development strategic planning, particularly in the United States and Canada. The text offers theoretical insights that help explain why some regions thrive while others languish and why metropolitan economies often rise and fall over time. Without theory, economic developers can only do what is politically feasible. This text, however, provides them with a logical tool for thinking about development and establishing an independent basis from which to build the local consensus needed for evidence-based action undertaken in the public interest. Offering valuable perspectives on both the process and the practice of local and regional economic development, this book will be useful for both current and future economic developers to think more profoundly and confidently about their local economy.

Futbolera

A History of Women and Sports in Latin America

By: Brenda Elsey,Joshua Nadel

Latin American athletes have achieved iconic status in global popular culture, but what do we know about the communities of women in sport? Futbolera is the first monograph on women’s sports in Latin America. Because sports evoke such passion, they are fertile ground for understanding the formation of social classes, national and racial identities, sexuality, and gender roles. Futbolera tells the stories of women athletes and fans as they navigated the pressures and possibilities within organized sports. Futbolera charts the rise of physical education programs for girls, often driven by ideas of eugenics and proper motherhood, that laid the groundwork for women’s sports clubs, which began to thrive beyond the confines of school systems. Futbolera examines how women challenged both their exclusion from national pastimes and their lack of access to leisure, bodily integrity, and public space. This vibrant history also examines women’s sports through comparative case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and others. Special attention is given to women’s sports during military dictatorships of the 1970s and 80s as well as the feminist and democratic movements that followed. The book culminates by exploring recent shifts in mindset towards women’s football and dynamic social movements of players across Latin America.

Escherichia coli

Chapter 13. The type 2 secretion and type 4 pilus systems of Escherichia coli

By: Leon G. De Masi,Courntey D. Sturey,Joshua A. Lieberman,Michael S. Donnenberg

Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains use two separate but closely related systems to export important virulence factors. The type 2 secretion (T2S) and type IV pilus (T4P) systems have considerable structural homology; both contain an outer membrane secretin complex, a pilus structure, and an inner membrane subassembly complex. The pilus structure, which predominantly consists of a major pilin subunit, is assembled from individual monomers, although this process remains poorly understood. However, the exported products are different. The T2S secretes fully folded exoproteins like heat-labile toxin through the outer membrane. In this case a pseudopilus structure is proposed to act as a piston to push the substrate through the outer membrane pore. In contrast, the T4P substrate is the pilus itself, and is used by the bacterium for aggregation and attachment to host cells.

Spare Parts

Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream

By: Joshua Davis

Joshua Davis's Spare Parts--now a major motion picture--is a story about overcoming insurmountable odds and the young men who proved they were among the most patriotic and talented Americans in this country—even as the country tried to kick them out. Four undocumented Mexican American students, two great teachers, one robot-building contest . . . In 2004, four Latino teenagers arrived at the Marine Advanced Technology Education Robotics Competition at the University of California, Santa Barbara. They were born in Mexico but raised in Phoenix, Arizona, where they attended an underfunded public high school. No one had ever suggested to Oscar, Cristian, Luis, or Lorenzo that they might amount to much—but two inspiring science teachers had convinced these impoverished, undocumented kids from the desert who had never even seen the ocean that they should try to build an underwater robot. And build a robot they did. Their robot wasn't pretty, especially compared to those of the competition. They were going up against some of the best collegiate engineers in the country, including a team from MIT backed by a $10,000 grant from ExxonMobil. The Phoenix teenagers had scraped together less than $1,000 and built their robot out of scavenged parts. This was never a level competition—and yet, against all odds . . . they won! But this is just the beginning for these four, whose story—which became a key inspiration to the DREAMers movement—will go on to include first-generation college graduations, deportation, bean-picking in Mexico, and service in Afghanistan.
