Again, I'll be joining the Programme Committee of the 15th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT2015). The conference will be held in Hualien, Taiwan from 6-9 July 2015.
On these pages you find information about my personal and professional background as well as some features about my interests in technology-enhanced learning, knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, and networked universities.
Learning technology has come a long way, and provides organisations, learners, and teachers with enormous opportunities to innovate not only their technical environment, but also the teaching and learning methodologies as well as their business processes. Most of all, the introduction of new media technologies leads to reflections about inherited traditional systems versus new approaches. My work contributes to these reflections and pursues not only innovation but also the effects that this innovation has on education, learning, and people.
This is a fast moving area and research focus changes quickly and often unexpectedly. My publications page contains a list of works in the field over the years. To a great extent they too reflect the changing nature of education.
My views on technology-enhanced learning
I am a passionate believer in the opportunities that technology has to offer to the knowledge society, both in terms of enhancement of learning and in reaching out to new learners. In remote and rural communities it is often the only way for people to access higher education. However, I am also of the opinion that technology alone does not produce new knowledge or learning and that new developments need to have a pedagogic and learner-centred approach.
Experience in commerce and education has shown that online solutions are at their best when built upon a traditional well-established structure. The pedagogic concept of Blended Learning is increasingly supported by universities and governments who realise that it provides a more sustainable approach than purely online offerings. This goes some way towards recognising that we cannot ignore pedagogic concepts that have been successful for decades before the internet arrived and still are.
Areas of interest
Technology enhanced learning has made giant leaps forward over the past few years. In my work, I try to keep up-to-date with latest developments and newest technologies. My current research interests focus especially on Learning and Knowledge Analytics, Language Technologies for learning support, Learning Networks, and Mobile Learning, but I also have a keen interest in other topics, including open education, game mechanics, or the most recent debate about connectivism.
Read more about my views on e-learning developments.
Special Issue Reflecting Education
Together with our Centre for Learning Technologies and Innovation, I am guest editor of a special issue to the Reflecting Education Journal which will be published in summer 2015. The call for papers and theme of the special issue is available here: "Digital Innovation in Teacher Education".
LAK15 Programme Committee
I joined the Programme Committee for the 5th International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK15) which will take place in Poughkeepsie, New York (USA), 16-20 March 2015.

Humidity 61%
Winds 11.5mph
May 25, 2013 10:13 PM by Jason Laird - Q2 Weather Center
BILLINGS - The Eastern half of the state is still under a tornado watch until 10 pm this evening. Along with a tornado watch severe thunderstorms have been on the rise as well!
Multiple strong cells have been slowly moving about the Eastern half of the state this afternoon, causing wide spread hail up to one inch in diameter and very sever storms. Isolated tornadoes are not out of the question due to the increasing level of instability and shear. Shear is the variation of winds, direction and speed.
The main factors needed for a tornado to form are lift, moisture, and some sort of disturbance all of which are present in Eastern Montana. Dew point temperatures are high in the Eastern half of the state are well into the mid 50's at times, and a cold front passing through has created the disturbance.
Monday...Severe thunderstorm threat continues as a short wave trough in the mean flow aloft moves over Montana. Strong divergence looks to affect our forecast area with a strong wind shifts to the West are expected to occur. This may establish a line of convection from just East Billings moving east into higher dew points in the afternoon. Thus presenting the best chance for severe weather into the Eastern sections while Western areas may downslope behind the trough passage.
Browse cameras from around the state! Includes 9 Montana Television Network Cameras as well as over 25 other cameras from around the state. Stay up to date with the current weather and highway conditions before you get on the road with STORMTracker TravelWatch Cameras.

Butterfly World, Cape Winelands
One does not need much persuasion to visit a tropical garden housed within a 1000 square meter greenhouse filled with incredible free-flying and exotic butterflies. Butterfly World, the largest butterfly park in South Africa, lies at the cross roads of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Wellington, just off the N1 at exit 47, near a little village known as Klapmuts.
A visit to Butterfly World is a stop that takes little effort, and is invariably richly rewarded with sightings of butterflies from as far afield as Costa Rica, the Philippines, Malaysia, and China. The team at Butterfly World fly in pupae every week from these countries, all year round, and the butterflies emerge and make their home in the tropical garden. High temperatures and humidity levels, as well as the right amount of sunlight, are imperative for the survival of these delicate creatures.
And Butterfly World is not just about butterflies. There is also a spider room with displays of indigenous and exotic spiders and scorpions (safely behind glass) that do much in the way of dispelling the myths and fears that surround these unique eight-legged creepy crawlies (the scorpions large front pincers are not officially legs, but qualify as appendages). There is also an outdoor garden in which you will find a large aviary, a meerkat enclosure, and wandering ducks, chickens and goats eagerly awaiting the seed and fodder that children can buy from the gift shop in order to hand feed them.

Leonardo rages as red cards hit Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 title pursuit
PSG sporting director Leonardo is concerned that suspensions may harm the club's Ligue 1 title charge, with Thiago Silva's red against Valenciennes at the weekend following the dismissals of David Beckham and Marco Verratti in their previous Ligue 1 game against Evian.
He was especially critical of referee Alexandre Castro, taking charge of his first Ligue 1 game since April 21 and only his 10th of the season. Castro sent off the Brazilian after he appeared to complain about earlier bookings for his team-mates Jeremy Menez and Clement Chantome.
"What happened is beyond any logic," Leonardo told L'Equipe.
"If we continue like this, we will have 10 players suspended. This is impossible and unacceptable."

Yes and no. Some worry I won't have a job to come back to while others wish they could come a long.
Planning is for tourists
Haven't started yet
It may provide guidance in my career choice. Presently I'm a bit lost and have only followed exactly what I was "suppose" to do.
Bring it on.
To experience the culture of the people rather than the excitement and relaxation of the resort. To remove oneself from their comfort zone and test their boundaries.
Its too costly both on a career level and a monetary level.
Expand my understanding of the worl we live in.

So originally I had an entirely different comic ready to go for today, and then Interplay goes and announces something like this. Now obviously I can't let that slip quietly by, especially after the big fuss I made a few weeks back. So straight back to the drawing table I went, literally.
So yeah, I'm pretty psyched about this news. I had all but given up on Fallout 3. From the sounds of it, the game development may be outsourced to an external company. Here's to hoping that can do as good a job as Black Isle did.
So, now that Cryptic has lifted the NDA, I can finally talk a bit about the City of Heroes beta test. It's an incredible game. A wonderfully refreshing change of pace from other MMORPG's.
Hell, they even allow you to jump, unlike some other competitors. Actually, scratch that. Not only do they let you jump, they let you super jump buildings in a single bound, run at the speed of a steaming locomotive, and even fly, if you so choose. I'd like to go a bit more in-depth about the game, so perhaps I'll do that later on, after I've had some sleep.

Is Google Docs Superior to Microsoft Office?
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Google announced that they're making some changes to Google Docs, so here's some thoughts on the Google Docs vs. Microsoft Office debate.
I may discuss the reasons why Google beats Microsoft in other ways, but I'm going to try to stay on point.
Some reasons why I believe that Google Docs is superior to Microsoft Office:
- It's free. (For non-commercial use.)
- It's online which means that you, and anyone you share the documents with, can access the file from any computer. This is a big concern for me since I don't enjoy working on an essay for 2 1/2 hours, just to have the program die right before it's done. Though MS states that they will be bringing Office to the cloud this year, I feel that it's too little, too late.
- Google Docs' concept is in line with Web 2.0. Product manager Anil Sabharwal stated that the program should flow like a "conversation." The "conversations" concept is something that has been repeated across the social mediasphere with the advent of Twitter. It's a great idea to structure an editing program with this in mind.
- We don't need to "tell Microsoft" what "my idea" is, because Google already knows. Google has a grip on how documents are used the most (as shown in the previous point). Because they have a better understanding of their consumers, they have a better understanding of how to optimize their products and services. Google Docs has probably not reached its full potential yet, but I'll bet it'll be developed at a much faster pace than Microsoft Office. It's probably a good idea to get on the learning curve now. :)
- If you also use other Google services, it'll make things easier if Google Docs is your default word processor. There will probably be ways for some, or all of the services to tie in with one another eventually.
- Microsoft, as a company, has always seemed to be more of a follower than an innovator. Sometimes they manage to come out with products/services that really *wow* people, but most of the time they're playing a game of catch up.
The Cynch:
I'd rather spend $0 on a superior product than spend $280 (Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Business) on an inferior product. Is it just me?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Are there ways in which Microsoft still has an edge?

Well well well... it's time to say goodbye. Perhaps you've noticed that several entries are missing... I've deleted them. I'm not going to update this journal any longer--there's no point. I refuse to censor myself any more than I did before, so rather than keep this thing going, expressing only PART of what I feel, I'm going to just stop all together. Heh.. I can't even say what I want to say in my goodbye-entry, because I don't even know who's reading this. And so, I say farewell to you, readers. It was fun while it lasted.

SoaD, Chop Suey
I feel... off. Like something in me isn't working right. I've been wandering around for the past few days feeling kind of spaced out... heh... space monkey. So yes... I'm in space monkey mode, and it's getting kind of old. I dunno.... I talk to certain people, and it's like I'm watching myself speak, or type in the little AIM window, and I don't know how it is that I'm speaking or typing coherently... because I'm not THINKING coherently. I think I've been going to bed too late, and then getting up too early. I need to just SLEEP for a good 14 hours or so... but I know I can't... not for a very long time... I have too much WORK to do. I have too much SHIT to deal with. Stupid school. Stupid everything. Ever want to just curl up into a ball and just... sleep till you can't sleep anymore... or cry till there's nothing left in you to let out? I think I'd like to do both... I haven't cried in a long time... not since last semester, and it was because of something stupid.. I was watching a sad movie or something. So that really didn't count. No, the last time I REALLY CRIED was like... 2 years ago. I feel stupid for crying over that, so I'm not going to say what it was I was so upset about. Just believe me... it wasn't worth crying over. (and no, it wasn't ANYTHING at all to do with a guy)...ugh. I'm so tired of feeling this way... mainly because I don't feel like I should be allowed to feel this way. There is no justification for the way I'm feeling right now-- I should be HAPPY. There are other people here who are ALLOWED to feel crappy, dammit. I just feel like I'm being a whiny little bitch. And that's not cool. Honestly-- what the hell is wrong with me? I'm single, but I'm happy with that; my workload here is NOT that bad, usually; I have some AMAZING friends here... I SHOULD BE HAPPY, DAMMIT!!!! I don't even know what I am... I'm not happy, but I'm not depressed... I'm just... blah. I'm going home this weekend... maybe the time away from here will help me sort out my feelings. You know what? I just realized why it is that I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to bitch... it's because the problems I'm having are the same problems that EVERYONE is having. Everyone else is able to deal with life, so why can't I lately? Ugh, I need to be rebooted or something. .::*SYSTEM DOWN*::.

Oh me oh my. I feel dead. I really don't have much to report at the moment... just that I feel dead. My roommate isn't here, which makes things kinda boring, but it's nice to be alone for a while. *sigh* I should really clean up all the junk that's strewn about my floor... my room was very clean only 2 days ago... perhaps I'll clean it later. Yeeeessssssss... laaaaaaater. For now, I'm gonna lay in bed and feel dead. Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Hmmm.... it's been a few days since I last updated.... so... what's new in the ever-so-exciting life of Ink? Well, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, I went out and got my navel pierced. Ah, there's no better way to commemorate one's Irish roots than by going out and having a 14 gauge needle shoved through their stomach. Hey, at least I wasn't drinking.
So tonight Skittles and I went down to The Blue Frog to see Matt Sneed play. Excellent show. Check out his website-----> www.mattsneed.com. Alright, it's time to go watch SE7EN. Ever see it? I hope I'm not too traumatized by it. Pleasant something, peoples. I'll be back later.... JUST WAIT AND SEE!!!! RAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loves always, Ink.

Friday I drove up to Skittles' house... meh heh. It was oodles of fun, I tell you. OODLES! we went to her uncle's house, where I met her mom's side of the family. Skittles has a very cool family, I've decided. Her uncle was impressed by my überbaggy pants:) We ate some tasty pizza, hung out with the family, then made our way to The Music Man's house... Heh. The Music Man has some coooooool friends. And his daughter is absolutely adorable. This was my first meeting in-person with The Music Man, and I must say, he kicks ass. Oh yeah... I gotta call that kid later... so yeah, we left his house at about 3 or so, then went back to Skittles' residence, where we crashed. The next day (Saturday) Skittles had a hair appointment, so I stayed at her house and slept. Well, I tried to sleep.. but that didn't work out so well... so I watched KIDS instead. WOW that is a fooked up movie. That was definitely the most disturbing thing I've seen in a while. Anyhoo, after the movie Skittles came back, looking all stylish and such with her new hairstyle and color, and we went to WEGMANS for FOOOOOOD:) mmmmm... afterward I met a friend of hers, then left for home. And that was my super-amazing weekend:)
so anyway, that was the eventful past few days of my life. Now I'm back here, and my roommate is deathly ill :( I hope she feels better soon. ok, I gotta go move my CAR now. Ugh. it's sooooooooo freakin' great to be back... Summer can't come soon enough. Love Peace and Chicken Grease... *end transmission*
meh heh heh heh heeeh

Mua ha ha ha haaaaaa it is now official-- I'm going to the Skittles residence on Friday!!!!! WEEHEEEEEW!!!! And THEN Skittles and I are going to go to a gathering of friends at The Music Man's house. (This would be the kid that keeps sending me odd music) Speaking of The Music Man... I talked to him on the phone last night. I probably bored the poor kid to tears. My phone conversation skills are rather... lacking. meh heh. Alright. It's shower time.

I get to do what I want, when I want, without having to answer to anyone. Oh yeah.. and I decided that I AM going to get my navel pierced. Skittles has agreed to go with me. (Thank you!)
I'm going to watch a movie tonight, methinks.
I really don't have anything else to say

He keeps sending me odd music. meh heh. Speaking of Skittles, she's mad cool. I had so much fun with that crazy girl tonight. She's the most sane person here, I think. She keeps me sane. Well, as sane as I can be, anyway. I'm going to live with her next year.. I hope she can stand me. Meh heh.

I get to go home tomorrow for spring break... for the first time, I am HAPPY about going home. I don't know WHY this is... I think it's cuz I've become very very very sick of school...
I've started to download episodes of Invader Zim.... I wonder how long it will be untill they catch me, and the campus computer police send their hired goons after me...meh heh. That would be interesting. Eww.... I just drank out of a cup filled with 2-day-old sprite mixed with fruit punch. Ugh. I really gotta clean.

Ok, so I guess I DO know why I call myself Ink. Anyway, I am a college student (yee haw). I also think I'm slightly insane... but aren't we all? My mental state has become a bit of a concern to me lately... I suppose I'll be writing more on this in future entries. Oh yeah- I'm a female. And this female has to get her kiester to class. So I shall end this now... BUT I'LL BE BACK!!! MUA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA! *cough*

From Green Right Now Reports
Eight cities and counties have committed to prepare for climate change effects and will participate in a new program on adapting to a new warmer world set up by ICLEI, an association devoted to helping cities and counties become more sustainable.
By working with ICLEI's program — called Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) — the cities will try to find ways to keep their infrastructure, roads, water sources and citizens safe from the effects of climate change. For instance, in Miami-Dade County, officials will look at ways to protect freshwater aquifers from intrusion by salt water caused by rising sea levels and storm-related flooding, problems that are already beginning to affect the area, according to ICLEI.
Other cities, facing different outcomes from climate change, will try to mitigate the heat island effect by planting more vegetation or protect themselves from heavier snows, which are occurring more frequently because of climate change.
The cities and local governments that have signed onto the program include:
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Cambridge, Massachusetts
- Flagstaff, Arizona
- Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Lee County, Florida
- Miami-Dade County, Florida
- San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC)
- Tucson, Arizona
They will receive "cutting-edge online tools, technical support, and other resources from ICLEI to accelerate their efforts to prepare for climate impacts that already affect their regions," according to ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability.
"Local governments have a responsibility to protect people, property, and natural resources, and these leading communities wisely recognize that climate change is happening now, and that they must begin planning for impacts that will only become more severe in the coming decades," said Martin Chávez, ICLEI USA Executive Director and former three-term mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"For more than five years, local governments have expressed an urgent need for resources and guidance to help them prepare their communities for climate impacts, and ICLEI USA is proud to finally release these groundbreaking resources."
All 600 cities and local governments that belong to ICLEI (pronounced ICK-LEE) will be able to use information from the new Climate Resilient Communities program. But the inaugural signers will receive additional technical assistance that will help them assess their vulnerabilities and plan for climate changes.

text: Bottas gets a reality check in Canada after qualifying heroics 10 June, 2013 Valtteri Bottas started from third on the grid in Montreal Reality hit hard for Valtteri Bottas at the Canadian Grand Prix. Just a day after he enhanced his reputation as one of the rising stars of Formula 1 by upstaging some of the biggest names in the sport to qualify third, he came back to Earth. The rain that had helped him on Saturday stayed away and with the sun shining brightly on the Montreal street circuit, his Williams car could not keep up and drifted back through the field to finish 14th. "We fought hard to try and secure some points today but ultimately we just didn't have the pace in the car," he said. "I didn't get a great start which allowed a few cars to jump me on the first lap, and in the dry conditions we simply couldn't match the level of competitiveness we showed yesterday." Despite his disappointment, the 23-year-old rookie from Finland, competing in just his seventh race, was still buoyed by the improved performance in qualifying. Valtteri Bottas with Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton after Montreal qualifying "I have learnt a lot from the race today and as a team we can take positives from the weekend," he said. Once an unstoppable force in Formula One, winning nine constructors' championships and seven drivers' titles, the British-based team has fallen on hard times. They have failed to score a single point all season. Bottas, who won the GP3 title in 2011 and spent last year as Williams reserve driver, gave the team a real boost with his performance on Saturday but technical director Mike Coughlan said it was a false dawn. "We knew Valtteri's grid position was not representative of our current pace, but we had hoped to be able to challenge for some points," he said. "Valtteri drove a solid race without making any mistakes, but ultimately the pace wasn't in the car to enable him to hold a top ten position today."

Longwei Petroleum Releases On-site Security Videos To Refute False Claims
TAIYUAN CITY, China, Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Ltd. (NYSE MKT: LPH) ("Longwei" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the storage and distribution of finished petroleum products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), announced that the Company has posted its own on-site security video clips that refute the blog-post defamatory claims of Geo Investing.
As previously stated, Longwei believes the Geo Investing report contains numerous errors of facts, misleading speculations and malicious interpretations of events. Nevertheless, in order to provide the highest level of transparency to its shareholders, the Company and its legal counsel in the U.S and the PRC, as well as its auditor are reviewing the allegations and management has fully cooperated in the investigation.
One of the numerous false allegations presented in the Geo Investing report includes a claim that Longwei's wholesale fuel sales are "virtually non-existent." The report purports to have taken 7 weeks ( October 26 to December 13, 2012) of time-lapse video surveillance of the Company's Taiyuan facility, which alleges that only 1 tanker truck fueled at the Taiyuan facility during the entire 7-week timeframe. Longwei is in the process of reviewing its on-site security video for the 7-week timeframe, however, it has posted two 10-minute video clips on its website that shows 6 tankers trucks at the Taiyuan facility being fueled during the Geo Investing report timeframe. Longwei's on-site security video proves the Geo Investing video and claim are false.
Longwei has posted the videos clips from its on-site security video at its Taiyuan facility on its website at http://www.longweipetroleum.com/operations/storage-operations. The video was taken during the same timeframe Geo Investing alleged only 1 tanker truck came to its facility. The Company's security video is also maintained independently at the local fire safety bureau.The Company intends to take further action to defend itself. The misleading video and claims posted by Geo Investing is only one example in their inaccurate report on the Company. Longwei will be sending its security video to the appropriate authorities for review and prosecution.

"Obeying, Praying, Perfecting"
Hebrews 13:17-25
August 17, 2011
In this final lesson from the book of Hebrews, we again consider yet other marks of Christian conduct. In this lesson, we see an additional three marks. The first of these 3 marks is:
TO OBEY LEADERS -- Hebrews 13:17 "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you."
This verse has reference to the pastors of the churches in these days. And yet the emphasis isn't so much on the pastor as the message that he preached. It's important to remember that some of the Christian Jews being written to in this letter, were seriously considering returning to the Old Testament covenant and recanting their faith in Jesus Christ. The statements made here were not meant to carry any thought of blanket obedience or submission to these ministers. Rather the obedience here is to the Gospel being preached. This does not pertain to a person submitting their entire life and conscience blindly following these leaders and drinking Kool Aid as did the followers of Jim Jones which were murdered by this process.
Neither does it call for churches to be authoritarian as some house churches have and are doing where members submit every decision to the leaders of those churches. I read of one instance where all of the members, men and women, were forbidden to wear clothing that was made of blended fabrics like Dacron and cotton and wool and rayon. That was because of Leviticus 19:19 which reads in part, " nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material."
So, "Brother Smith, let's take a look at the tag on your shirt. It appears to be a little suspicious." And if Brother Smith's shirt was not proper, he was asked to leave the meeting and go change into something more acceptable.
God has called pastoral leaders to watch over us. They are concerned about our welfare, our spiritual growth, our holiness and purity, our knowledge, our faith and about our trials, sicknesses and sufferings. All of this is done by the teaching and preaching of the true Word of God. And these leaders are accountable to God and they must know that they will stand before God to give an account as to how they have led.
As well, leaders can be grieved and hurt. If they are followed they are filled with joy because the work of Christ can go forward. Some of these Christian Jews had excellent Pastors who preached the true gospel. But they didn't listen to them and as a result, their faith was impacted.
3 John 4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." Ministry has many difficulties and challenges, but they are offset when God's children hear the gospel and obey it.
Continual strife and contention brings hurt and the work of Christ is hampered. Disobedience and rebellion affects the individual and the church. There have been times in our ministry and others that we know that there has been a refusal to accept the leadership of those in the church – pastors and board members alike. That can really hamper the life, growth and ministry of the church body. The 2nd mark of Christian conduct is:
TO PRAY FOR LEADERS AND THEIR FAMILIES -- Hebrews 13:18-19 "Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner."
This carries with it the idea that believers should continually pray for all ministers who are doing the work of God and preaching the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That means those are present with us and those who are not but are ministering in other places in the world. That certainly includes our missionaries. The prayers of the saints for the leadership can remove obstacles to the effectiveness of the church. Satan certainly doesn't want the gospel of Christ going forward and he will do whatever he can to stop it. Prayers can and will stop him. Yet another mark of Christian conduct is:
TO BE EQUIPPED -- Hebrews 13:20-21 "Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."
This is a prayer of the writer of this epistle to the Hebrews. It gives a meaningful picture of God and of Jesus Christ. First of all it tells us that God is:
THE GOD OF PEACE -- Peace with God is obtained by faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what He did on the Cross on our behalf. God, then, is the source of our peace. To get through the daily grind of life and its challenges, we need peace. But apart from Jesus Christ, there is no peace. It's only as we turn to Christ and put our trust in Him can we have peace. That's mans only hope for peace in a world of complete chaos. Secondly, this tells us that God is:
THE GOD OF RESURRECTION -- This is the only mention in this epistle of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. God raised Jesus Christ from the dead to a life of glory and exaltation that last eternally. If we turn to Him and put our trust in Him, He will raise us up and give us a new life that will last eternally. Thirdly, this tells us that Jesus Christ is:
THE GREAT SHEPHERD – He is the One who guides His people and provides and protects them. And Jesus did what no other shepherd has ever done – He died for us, His sheep and He did that willingly. We need guidance, provision and protection and Jesus gives all of that to us. But we also need deliverance from the tactics and advances of the enemy as he seeks to kill us, steal from us and destroy us. We need protection from wolves that come to us in sheep's clothing. Jesus gives us that deliverance. Fourthly, this tells us that Jesus Christ is:
THE PROVIDER OF AN ETERNAL COVENANT -- Prior to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, man only had access to God through the Jewish High Priest and that only once a year. Now, however, Jesus has established a new way to approach God which is through the shed blood of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. When Christ died, He died as the Ideal and Perfect Sacrifice because He was the Ideal and Perfect Sacrifice. Therefore, whatever Jesus did, was pleasing and acceptable to God. By His death for our sins, Jesus provided a new way for man to come into the presence of God. Hebrews 9:14 states, "….how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God." Finally, this tells us that Christ:
THE ONE WHO EQUIPS US TO DO GOD'S WILL -- God has a will for everyone and He will equip us to do that. However, that equipping isn't the result of our own efforts or works. Those things will eventually pass away. So, the will of God can be equipped in us only by the working of the Holy Spirit to that which is pleasing in the sight of God. Only the energy and the power of the Holy Spirit can strengthen us to do the will of God. And that energy and that power is determined by our walk and fellowship with God. If we will walk with Him, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and we pray, remain in His Word, and trust in Him, then the Lord will give us the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of what He wants us to do.
Now we come to the conclusion of Hebrews and find:
FOUR IMPORTANT LESSONS -- Hebrews 13:22-25 "I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. Grace be with all of you."
Lesson #1 – Believers are to be built up in the Lord Jesus Christ through the Word.
Lesson #2 – Believers are to help others to grow and develop in Christ.
Lesson #3 -- Believers are to love and fellowship with each other.
Lesson #4 – Believers are to pray for each other and ask the Lord to extend His continuing grace to others and ourselves.
Father, as we have come to the end of this study of Your Word in Hebrews, we have seen Jesus Christ as our great High Priest and the Ideal and Perfect sacrifice for our sins. Help us to allow the Holy Spirit to remind us of the greatness of the New Covenant that Jesus has given to us. Help us to grow in our walk with You so that others might see Jesus in us and be drawn to Him. In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

December 22, 2014
GAINESVILLE, TX -- The jury heard testimony from the prosecution Wednesday in the trial of a Gainesville man charged in the death of his girlfriend's son.
Johnny Earl Alexander was indicted for capital murder in October, but the Cooke County District Attorney's Office says a judge is trying Alexander for first degree injury to a child, not capital murder.
He's accused of causing burns to more than 60 percent of Nathan De Alejandro's body in 2011.
Authorities say the 4-year-old was never brought in for medical treatment and died two weeks later.
Nathan's mother, Catrina Maldonado was already sentenced to life in prison.
Johnny Earl Alexander's parents, Johnny Lee and Matilde Alexander, are serving eight years in prison.
The case is expected to continue Thursday. Alexander faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted.

No, this is not a rebate. We pay up to 70% of the installed lighting cost directly to Lime Energy, our installer. For the remainder, you can pay in a lump sum or finance the cost evenly over 12 or 24 months.
Exactly what kind of lighting does this program cover?
Central Hudson will upgrade most permanent lighting fixtures in your facility. This includes fluorescent systems, high-pressure sodium and metal halide fixtures and exit signs. We also install occupancy sensors, reflectors and certain other components that improve the lighting and lower energy costs. For each facility, Central Hudson will determine a customized and comprehensive lighting solution to optimize energy savings.
Are there other incentives?
Yes, speak with your tax accountant to learn about options such as the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) commercial tax deduction for new or renovated buildings with reduced energy costs associated with, among other things, lighting systems. Buildings must meet the ASHRAE 90.1-2001 standard and be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2013 to be eligible.
Does it matter how old my lighting fixtures are?
No. Even new lights may have significant opportunities for energy savings. Central Hudson's lighting experts will assess each facility and determine the amount of energy that can be saved by upgrading to the most energy-efficient option.
I have several buildings with different types of lighting. Do I have to replace everything?
No. You can choose the lighting systems that are replaced. But remember that the more lights we replace, the better opportunity there is for savings.
Is this program just for replacing lamps?
No. Central Hudson will replace fixtures, ballasts, and other permanent lighting equipment. A full redesign of lighting systems may be the best opportunity for energy savings.
Will energy-efficient lights have the same quality as my old lights?
In most cases, new energy-efficient systems will significantly improve light output and light quality while saving energy.
Doesn't energy-efficient lighting mean lower quality lighting?
No. New energy-efficient lighting gives a better quality of light with fewer lamps. Your facility will look brighter and better.
Aren't lighting installations disruptive and time consuming?
No. In most cases, it's just a matter of replacing ballasts and bulbs. We make the process easy, and you will see lower electric bills right from the beginning. Most installations can be completed during normal business hours without disrupting your workflow.
Do I have to use your lighting partner?
Yes. In order to take advantage of this Central Hudson program, you must use Lime Energy. We have an excellent track record with this company, which has become our single dedicated partner for both energy audits and installations.
What if I purchase my electricity from an energy supply company (ESCO)?
That is fine. You are still eligible because you are a Central Hudson customer.
Isn't Central Hudson in the energy-selling business, not the energy-saving business?
Central Hudson is in the energy delivery business, and we want to deliver your energy safely and reliably at the best price. Delivering less energy helps us better manage costs. Also, New York State's initiative to reduce the state's energy consumption 15% by 2015 has made it more important for all of us to save energy. The New York State Public Service Commission has also directed all utilities to run effective energy efficiency programs.
I want to use this program for an all-new installation at my facility. Can I use the program to install new energy-efficient lights?
No. This program is for replacing existing lighting equipment and systems in order to make them more energy efficient.
Are LED lighting upgrades eligible?
Some specific LED hard-wired fixtures are eligible for incentives under the program. Please call toll-free (855) 236-4832 during regular business hours if you have questions about specific lamps or lighting equipment.
Do you replace regular screw-in bulbs with CFL bulbs?
Yes, these are part of our commercial lighting program.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Sampson, Ian Roy firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-07122011-104401 Document Title Incorrect applicaton and interpretation of socio-economic factors in environmental impact assessments in South African Law Degree LLM Department Human Rights Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Hansungule Supervisor Keywords
- South African Law
- socio-economic factors
- environmental impact assessments
Date 2011-04-11 Availability unrestricted AbstractEnvironmental Impact Assessments ("EIA") have been regulated for the last 12 years in South Africa, initially through the Environment Conservation Act 1989, and since 2006 through the National Environmental Management Act 1998 ("NEMA"). The former applied the standard of "substantial detrimental effect" to the environment in determining whether an authorisation should be granted. NEMA requires the authority to take into account environmental management principles. These principles inter alia require that development must be socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. This is also known as sustainable development ("SD"). Administrative officials tasked with considering EIAs have been given legislative direction with respect to the environmental issues which need to be assessed. They have been given no direction on how to assess socioeconomic issues. Notwithstanding this there have been an increasing number of decisions based on socio-economic factors, notwithstanding that the environmental impacts have been determined to be acceptable. In Fuel Retailers Association of South Africa v Director-General: Environmental Management, Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Environment, Mpumalanga Province and Others the Constitutional court held that SD must be applied by environmental authorities when they consider applications for EIA authorisation. However a careful analysis of NEMA and the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, highlight that our administrators and courts have adopted a one dimensional and ultimately inaccurate interpretation of the application of SD. This is prejudicing the fulfilment of the objective of EIA, namely the determination of the acceptability of a project's environmental impacts. Whilst SD does have a role to play in the EIA process it is more defined, and does not take the central role the Constitutional Court has indicated. The aim of is to determine whether there are adverse impacts associated with a project. If there are, then ordinarily authorisation should be refused. However the authorities are enjoined to go a step further. They must determine whether the identified adverse impacts can be satisfactorily mitigated, and whether any positive socio-economic factors would accrue Page (iii) should the project be authorised. If both are answered in the affirmative, then a positive decision is appropriate. This is the balance which NEMA calls for, and this is the correct application of SD in an EIA. The broader application of SD espoused by the Constitutional Court is achieved not through the environmental authorities in the EIA process alone, but through the constitutional principle of cooperative governance. All authorities with an interest in a particular project must apply the principle of SD within the scope of their administrative functions. The environmental authorities consider the environmental impacts, the planning authorities consider the socio-economic impacts, the agricultural authorities determine the project's impacts on agricultural land, etc. The outcome of their individual decisions can then collectively be assessed to determine whether a project is sustainable or not. There are various measures which can be employed to address the interpretational deficiency which has now manifested. These include improving cooperative governance principles and practices in decisionmaking; undertaking strategic environmental assessments; and a dedicated Sustainable Development Act.

Black Friday
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 11-23-2012 - 7:47am
Good morning, all! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your families.
I started out my morning at the annual Turkey Trot 5K. They had a record 2100 participants this year! Huge for a small town. I was hoping to do the best I could considering I ran a marathon 1.5 weeks ago, and I was thinking it would be nice to do something in the 22:00's - I have been running 23:00's 5K's since my injury last fall, and my PR was 21:48 from May '11. I ran as hard as I could, and I amazed myself when I crossed the finish line at 21:41!!!!!!! A new PR, baby!!!! This yummy bakery provided pies for the 1st and 2nd place winners in each age group - darn, I finished 3rd!
DH and I went to Target to stand in line outside at 6:45 last night for their 9:00 opening. We wanted to get the kids iPods this year, and they were offering a $40 gift card with each one you bought. So, we froze our buns off waiting, but we got them! :) And some other random items that were on sale, including some cozy fleece PJ pants for me. :)
Today, I will probably take the kids to the park to enjoy the upper 50's before a cold front comes in for tomorrow.
Have a great day, all!
|Fri, 11-23-2012 - 12:41pm
I'll try one more time. I logged in earlier, after two attempts, wrote a post, but it wouldn't post.
Our Thanksgiving was OK, nice day at ~60 degrees. DH's kids went out and threw the football around in the street like they used to when they were kids; dinner was good, and the Lion's game was kinda crazy, which is the way it is for the Lion's. We had it on during dinner, and you can see the TV from the table at SIL's house. The in-laws are big into TV watching, so they don't do the "TV off during dinner" thing.
DH didn't have to be to work 'til 9:45 so I feel kinda behind all day. I ran 7 miles when he left; I have done some cleaning around here and some minor decorating. I need to do the final read of one paper and start another for ex phys. Doing some laundry too; it's a usual Friday.
Heather - congrats on your PR. We have the cold front today that you guys are getting tomorrow; it's grey and windy.

From the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks
-- Beginning Dec. 15, the Department of Wildlife and Parks will offer Kansas residents a multi-year youth hunting and/or fishing license, providing convenience and saving money for young hunters and anglers.
The new youth licenses will be available for resident youth age 16 through 20. After purchasing the multi-year license, no hunting or fishing license will have to be purchased until the person turns age 21. The one-time purchase, multi-year youth fishing or hunting license is $40. A one-time purchase multi-year youth fishing/hunting combination license is $70.
The new youth license is intended to encourage young hunters and anglers and their parents to get outside and enjoy what Kansas has to offer.
All resident hunters and anglers age 16-64 must purchase an annual hunting, fishing or combination license, so the new multi-year license is a great bargain. The cost of an annual resident hunting or fishing license is $20.50. The annual resident combination license is $38.50.
Resident youth will save $62.50 if they purchase the multi-year fishing or hunting license when they turn 16. A 16-year-old will save $122.50 if they buy the multi-year combination license.
In addition to these licenses, all 2011 licenses and permits go on sale Dec. 15 and are valid for the remainder of 2010 and all of 2011. Online license and permit sales are available online at http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/License-Permits. Licenses and permits may also be purchased over-the-counter at sporting goods stores.

If this daytime moisturizer with sunscreen didn't contain fragrance ingredients (such as limonene) known to be irritating, it would earn our top rating. Everything else about it, from the price to the larger-than-usual size and formula are stellar. You get broad-spectrum sun protection that includes an in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen for critical UVA screening, and the formula is lightweight yet moisturizing enough for normal to dry skin (those with oily skin will find this leaves a bothersome sheen and can feel greasy after a few hours).
In terms of beneficial ingredients beyond sunscreen, this contains several antioxidants (including vitamin C) and a few good water-binding agents, too. It's not the most state-of-the-art formula around, but considering its cost and size, what's here is better than expected!
The fragrance ingredients are enough cause for concern because even though their amounts are low, combining these potential irritants with the sunscreen actives Jason Natural chose could lead to a sensitized reaction. If you decide to try this, be sure to purchase from a site or store that allows you to return it (a statement that applies to any skin-care product).
This super light lotion treats fine lines and wrinkles while protecting your skin from future damage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 daily sunscreen.
Active Ingredients: Homosalate 7.5 %, Ethylhexyl Salicylate 5.0%, Titanium Dioxide 2.0%, Other Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol , VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Calcium Ascorbate, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 60, Silica , Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Xanthan Gum, Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Gluconolactone, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone , Benzyl Benzoate , Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citral, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Fragrance (Parfum)
It may not come as a surprise to those who have read previous editions of this book to learn that the Jason Natural line of products, which presents itself as a "green," environmentally friendly alternative skin-care line in health food stores (its primary distribution point), also includes in its products a majority of ingredients that are decidedly unnatural. Yes, many natural ingredients are included in these products, but Jason Natural is not practicing what they preach by "giving consumers effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to mass-produced, synthetic chemical products." As far as mass-produced goes, Jason Natural fills the bill. The product line has been available since 1959, and is distributed worldwide.
Owner Hain Celestial plans to increase the line's presence by entering new retail outlets, meaning that this isn't a batch of products cooked up in a home-style manner and made fresh to order. And the company uses plenty of synthetic ingredients, including preservatives, thickeners, slip agents, and film-forming agents. These aren't bad for skin; in fact, they're essential to create products people will actually want to use—but claiming they're all natural or purer than other brands is false. Natural or otherwise, many of these products are not only outstanding options to consider, but also exceptional values. Of particular interest are the antioxidant-rich Sunbrellas sunscreens, some water-soluble cleansers, and a few state-of-the-art moisturizers.
Jason's penchant for natural means that several products are problematic due to the inclusion of essential oils (which are really unessential because they cause irritation and often sun sensitivity or cell death), along with other ingredients that, while natural, are not helpful for skin. The company claims that everything they put into their products is from the earth, and that's true. But if you think about it, where else would the ingredients come from? Mars? Every cosmetics company is using ingredients from the earth, so just because Jason Natural outfits theirs with a selection of plants doesn't mean they're inherently better (and in some instances, the plants are even a detriment). Still, there are enough high points in this line to make it worth considering. This line is huge, however, so be prepared to zero in on what's best or you may be overwhelmed by the choices.

CBS, PBS and HBO Lead News And Documentary Emmy Winners
The 34th News and Documentary Emmy Awards were handed out last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center, located in the Time Warner Center. "Frontline" EP David Fanning accepted a lifetime achievement Emmy, with presenters including Ted Koppel, Sharyl Attkisson, Candy Crowley, Katty Kay, David Muir and Alex Wagner.
CBS News was the night's big winner, taking home 12 Emmy statues, more than CNN, ABC and NBC combined. PBS took home nine Emmys, HBO took home six, CNN took home three, Nat Geo and NBC News took home two, while ABC News, AXS, BBC News, History Channel, Discovery Channel, the NY Times and Science Channel all took home one.
For CBS, "60 Minutes" took home six of the 12 Emmys, honoring stories about the Bin Laden raid and violence in Syria. The "CBS Evening News" secured three Emmy statues, with "CBS Sunday Morning" drawing three Emmys, and "CBS This Morning" one.
Seven of PBS' Emmys were for "Frontline,"not counting the lifetime achievement award, with the others for "American Experience" and "Nature." All of HBO's Emmys were for its long-form documentaries.
CNN won for its 2012 election coverage, Nick Walsh's reporting from the Middle East and an "AC360″ special on kids and race. NBC News won for its election coverage and its Syria coverage, while the sole ABC News Emmy went to "Nightline."
All the winners can be seen here. You can also see the laudatory spin from the winning networks, after the jump.
