Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” answered Jesus, “but seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21/22 GNT)Seventy times seven. That's a lot of forgiveness and a lot chances to get it right. Lucas was a good man, and he loved God. When it came to making the big decisions, he never quite got it right. But one day, after years on the wrong path Lucas met a man. A Savior... This story is a walk through the life of a God fearing man and the decisions that he made. It is a testimony of forgiveness and of second chances.

"Muscles are essential for locomotion and force-related mechanisms in organisms. The sarcomere is the basic unit of contractility in the muscle cell and allows for such forces. It is composed of antiparallel actin thin filaments and myosin thick filaments, with the thin filaments anchored at the Z-disc, a multiprotein complex, at both ends of the sarcomere. Many of the proteins present in the Z-disc are involved in myopathies when mutated. Filamin C is an actin filament crosslinker that is a core component of the Z-disc, and is mutated in muscle related diseases. Understanding its binding partners and dynamics is crucial to uncovering the pathology of these filamin-related myopathies. Using different filamin (cheerio) deletion mutants in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, we identify unique indirect flight muscle phenotypes. These perturbations have consequences on the mutants' ability to use their flight muscles properly, as demonstrated by flight assay performance. Using biochemical, behavioural, and imaging techniques, we demonstrate the importance of filamin function in Z-disc stability and myofiber structural integrity"--

This leadership playbook has been published to coincide with the global release of the first PISA test results on creative thinking, the Creativity Collaboratives under way in England and the growing importance of creative thinking in countries across the world. Creative Thinking in Schoolsfocuses on how leaders can create capacity among their staff to embed creative thinking, both in their own lives and in the lives of their pupils. Itoffers a framework for improving creative thinking based on the widely used five creative habits framework developed by the Centre for Real-World Learning. The framework focuses on developing learners who are inquisitive, persistent, collaborative, disciplined and imaginative. Underpinned by research and analysis of practice in hundreds of schools across the world, and more recently by an in-depth study of fifty schools in England, Creative Thinking in Schoolsprovides a range of accessible resources, planning tools and practical examples. These support leaders to reflect on their core purposes, understand the changes needed to embed creative thinking, develop leaders across their staff, facilitate the development of their teachers, plan, teach and assess creative thinking, and work with external partners, all the while developing a vibrant professional learning community. Complemented by a dedicated website which contains additional downloadable materials and case studies,the playbook will allow leaders and teachers around the world to connect with each other and share their own experiences in order to develop, spread, extend and evaluate creative thinking within and across schools. Creative Thinking in Schoolswill support a professional learning community of leaders and teachers who see creative thinking as a core purpose of education and are interested in making it a priority in their school. It will encourage pupils to develop their creativity in the classroom, allowing future generations to thrive in a world that is increasingly complex. Creative Thinking in Schools: A Leadership Playbookhas been supported by the Mercers Company, Creativity, Culture and Education and the Arts Council of Wales. Suitable for school and system leaders, teacher leaders and policy makers who see creative thinking as a core purpose in education.

Near the end of his life, Roger Williams, Rhode Island founder and father of American religious freedom, scrawled an encrypted essay in the margins of a colonial-era book. For more than 300 years those shorthand notes remained indecipherable... ...until a team of Brown University undergraduates led by Lucas Mason-Brown cracked Williams' code after the marginalia languished for over a century in the archives of the John Carter Brown Library. At the time of Williams' writing, a trans-Atlantic debate on infant versus believer's baptism had taken shape that included London Baptist minister John Norcott and the famous Puritan "Apostle to the Indians," John Eliot. Amazingly, Williams' code contained a previously undiscovered essay, which was a point-by-point refutation of Eliot's book supporting infant baptism. History professors Linford D. Fisher and J. Stanley Lemons immediately recognized the importance of what turned out to be theologian Roger Williams' final treatise. Decoding Roger Williams reveals for the first time Williams' translated and annotated essay, along with a critical essay by Fisher, Lemons, and Mason-Brown and reprints of the original Norcott and Eliot tracts.
