A COLLECTION —OF — VALUABLE HISTORICAL EXTRACTS ON A GR.E!T VA R TETY OF SUBJECTS, OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO THE BIBLE STUDENT, FROM EMINENT AUTHORS, ANCIENT AND MODERN. REVISED BY G. I. BUTLER. " Admissions in favor of troth, from the ranks of its enemies, constitute the highest kind of evidence."—Puss. Ass Mattatc. Pr This Volume contains about One Thousand Separate Historical Statements. THIRD EDITION, ENLARGED, AND BROUGHT DOWN TO 1885. REVIEW AND HERALD, BATTLE CREEK, MICH. PACIFIC PRESS, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA. PREFACE. Tax object of this volume, as its name implies, is to furnish to the inquirer a large fund of facts bearing upon important Bible subjects, which are of special interest to the present generation, • While "the Bible and the Bible alone" is the only unerring rule of faith and practice, it is very desirable oftentimes to ascertain what great and good men have believed concerning its teachings. This is especially desirable when religious doctrines are being taught which were considered new and strange by some, but which, in reality, have bad the sanction of many of the most eminent and devoted of God's servants in the past. Within the last fifty years, great changes have occurred among religious teachers and churches. Many things which were once con- sidered important truths are now questioned or openly rejected ; while other doctrines which are thought to be strange and new are found to have the sanction of the wisest and best teachers of the past. The extracts contained in this work cover a wide range of subjects, many of them of deep interest to the general reader.

  • Integrating Multiple Chemical Tracers to Elucidate the Diet and Habitat of Cookiecutter Sharks Aaron B
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Integrating multiple chemical tracers to elucidate the diet and habitat of Cookiecutter Sharks Aaron B. Carlisle1*, Elizabeth Andruszkiewicz Allan2,9, Sora L. Kim3, Lauren Meyer4,5, Jesse Port6, Stephen Scherrer7 & John O’Sullivan8 The Cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) is an ectoparasitic, mesopelagic shark that is known for removing plugs of tissue from larger prey, including teleosts, chondrichthyans, cephalopods, and marine mammals. Although this species is widely distributed throughout the world’s tropical and subtropical oceanic waters, like many deep-water species, it remains very poorly understood due to its mesopelagic distribution. We used a suite of biochemical tracers, including stable isotope analysis (SIA), fatty acid analysis (FAA), and environmental DNA (eDNA), to investigate the trophic ecology of this species in the Central Pacifc around Hawaii. We found that large epipelagic prey constituted a relatively minor part of the overall diet. Surprisingly, small micronektonic and forage species (meso- and epipelagic) are the most important prey group for Cookiecutter sharks across the studied size range (17–43 cm total length), with larger mesopelagic species or species that exhibit diel vertical migration also being important prey. These results were consistent across all the tracer techniques employed. Our results indicate that Cookiecutter sharks play a unique role in pelagic food webs, feeding on prey ranging from the largest apex predators to small, low trophic level species, in particular those that overlap with the depth distribution of the sharks throughout the diel cycle. We also found evidence of a potential shift in diet and/or habitat with size and season.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • Annual Report Donors
    Sam Houston State University VOLUME 7 • NUMBER 1 • 2013-2014 Annual Reportto Donors Charlie Amato and Gary Dudley A Message from the President early every day, I am reminded of the overwhelming generosity of Sam Houston State NUniversity’s donors. I have heard countless, heartfelt stories from our students who have attributed their ability to attend college and achieve success solely on the scholarships provided by our alumni and friends. I have witnessed the awestruck looks of thousands of visitors as they walk through our beautiful campus with its new and renovated facilities that were built, in part, through donor support. I have had the privilege to speak publicly about the accomplishments of the university and the quality of our academic programs, which would not have been possible without philanthropy. Each of you, who are listed within the pages of this 2013-2014 Annual Report to Donors, has made a meaningful difference for Sam Houston State and its nearly 20,000 students. Your support positively impacts enrollment growth, the quality of academic programs, the strength of athletic teams, and so many other things that enhance the university’s national stature. Simply put, you have invested in changing the lives of tomorrow’s leaders, which will have a profound impact on the future of our region, state, and nation for generations to come. Over the past 300 years, higher education has been the primary source for all significant innovation and change, fueling momentous leaps in scientific and societal advancements. Knowing that Sam Houston has an extraordinary cadre of loyal and dependable support, I am confident this grand old university will continue to honor and uphold longstanding traditions and values, while embracing change and nurturing intellectual inquiry in order to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st centur y.

    INTRODUCTION This publication represents the NASA research and technology program for FY 1987. It is a compilation of the “Summary” portions of each of the RTOPs (Research and Technology Objectives and Plans) used for management review and control of research currently in progress throughout NASA. The RTOP Summary is designed to facilitate communication and coordination among concerned technical personnel in government, in industry, and in univer- sities. We believe also that this publication can help to expedite the technology transfer process. The RTOP Summary is arranged in five sections. The first section contains citations and abstracts of the RTOPS. Following this section are four indexes: Subject, Technical Monitor, Responsible NASA Organization, and RTOP Number. The Subject Index is an alphabetical listing of the main subject headings by which the RTOPs have been identified. The Technical Monitor Index is an alphabetical listing of the names of individuals responsible for the RTOP. The Responsible NASA Organization Index is an alphabetical listing of the NASA organizations which de- veloped the RTOPs contained in the Journal. The RTOP Number Index provides a cross-index from the RTOP number assigned by the NASA responsible organization to the corresponding accession number assigned sequentially to the RTOPs in RTOP Summary As indicated above, responsible technical monitors are listed on the RTOP summaries. Although personal exchanges of a professional nature are encouraged, your consideration is requested in avoiding excessive contact which might be disruptive to ongoing research and development. Any comments or suggestions you may have to help us evaluate or improve the effectiveness of the RTOP Summary would be appreciated.
