Have you ever wondered why God has allowed Satan to come to this earth? Can we think for our self and ask this question: why not put him on Mars, Venus, or even Pluto? Or better still why create him at all?This book will explain this and I double dog-dare you to read this entire book, don't stop when it goes against what you have been taught, this book will make you think, it may also set you free. What if death and life was in the power of your tongue, would you correct your tongue? What if God was your life, would you treat your life different? What if God gave you the power to change the very thoughts of your mind, would you do that? This book will answer these questions, are you brave enough to take this challenge. Again I triple dog-dare you to read this entire book. Jerry Ooten

Clean Fax Dream Team nominee 2003 & 2004 Clean Fax Dream Team Nomination Committee Member 2003 & 2004 Clean Fax Editorial Advisory Group Leather goods are one of the few items in which many consumers take great pride in owning. It is a special covering, after all, as each hide tells a story. Because leather is so different from man-made fibers, the cleaning and care of it should be treated differently. Armed with the knowledge contained in this manual, some practice, and the proper tools and supplies, virtually anyone can become a leather-cleaning expert. This photo-filled leather-cleaning manual goes well beyond the usual expectations of a normal manual. Author Lonnie McDonald has done an exceptional job in creating an easy-to-use picture guide for the proper cleaning and care of all types of leather. With over 20 yrs of experience in leather cleaning and care, Mr. McDonald has done what few authors have been able to accomplish - to connect with the student, and to show him/her what to expect in many different cleaning scenarios - visually. Left out of this manual are fluff, hyperbole, and filler. It is 100% meat and potatoes Mr. McDonald's passion for the leather care industry runs deep. He chairs the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification(IICRC)Leather Cleaning Technician(LCT)Technical Advisory Committee, he is president of Leather Pro , a professional leather cleaning and restoration company, and is also the current President of the Low Moisture Carpet Cleaner's Association. Additionally, Mr. McDonald serves on the American Furniture Manufacturer's Association Joint Industry Committees on Leather Care. This book will be one of the first leather care manuals approved for the Leather Cleaning Technician course (LCT) by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), and because science continues to bring forth new cleaning tools and technology, and entrepreneurs demand better and more productive ways to service leather goods, this manual is work in-progress. Congratulations, dear student, on your decision to invest a little to gain so much. Now, let's get busy cleaning leather

Taking a community of practice perspective that highlights the learner as part of a community, rather than a lone individual responsible for her/his learning, this ethnographically-influenced study investigates how Latina/o English Language Learners (ELLs) in middle school mathematics classes negotiated their learning of mathematics and mathematical discourse. The classes in which the Latina/o students were enrolled used a reform-oriented approach to math learning; the math in these classes was - to varying degrees - taught using a hands-on, discovery approach to learning where group learning was valued, and discussions in and about math were critical. This book presents the stories of how six immigrant and American-born ELLs worked with their three teachers of varied ethnicity, education, experience with second language learners, and training in reform-oriented mathematics curricula to gain a degree of competence in the mathematical discourse they used in class. Identity, participation, situated learning, discourse use by learners of English as a Second Language (ESL), framing in language, and student success in mathematics are all critical notions that are highlighted within this school-based research.

This book analyses the English writing and publishing experiences of 118 scholars from 18 Chinese universities from a social-cognitive perspective. It addresses the challenges and strategies multilingual scholars, particularly Chinese academics, reported in the process of writing and publishing in English. This allows the author to present a taxonomy of journal article writing strategies that correspond to the lived experiences of scholars in China, but which can also be applied to other contexts in the world. This book offers a step-by-step analysis of ethnographic case studies, insights and implications for teaching practice, as well as suggested directions for future research. It will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of ERPP (English for Research Publication Purposes) as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics more broadly.

This textbook equips students interested in becoming researchers with the essential nontechnical skills. After an introduction to graduate schools, it discusses preparing for research, reading and organizing literature, writing research articles and other documents, publishing papers, presenting research findings at conferences, collaboration with advisors and other researchers, patent applications, research ethics, and how to improve research by learning about the history of science. These nontechnical skills are just as important as technical ones in terms of becoming a successful graduate student, yet they have seldom been taught systematically in courses. Further, they can bridge the gap from the classroom to the lab, making one of the most critical transition periods-from student to researcher-smoother and more enjoyable. The book features a wealth of real-life examples and exercises, which readers can easily apply in their own research. Intended mainly for graduate and upper-undergraduate students just embarking on lab research, it can also be used as a textbook or reference guide for courses on research methodology and related topics.

This edited volume fills the gaps in existing literature on visualization and dashboard design for learning analytics. To do so, it presents critical tips to stakeholders and acts as guide to efficient implementation. The book covers the following topics: visualization and dashboard design for learning analytics, visualization and dashboard preferences of stakeholders, learners' patterns on the dashboard, usability of visualization techniques and the dashboard, dashboard and intervention design, learning and instructional design for learning analytics, privacy and security issues about the dashboard, and future directions of visualization and dashboard design. This book will be of interest to researchers with interest in learning analytics and data analytics, teachers and students in higher education institutions and instructional designers, as it includes contributions from a wide variety of educational and psychological researchers, engineers, instructional designers, learning scientists, and computer scientists interested in learning analytics.

Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Research systematically outlines specific strategies to guide the student in designing and conducting empirical research. As with any undertaking that is based on skill development, the more you use the skill the more adept you become with the skill. The quality and usefulness of all research is only as good as the skills of the researcher and the clarity of the research study. This book is written primarily for graduate level producers of education and social science research. It is also appropriate for students who are proposing and conducting a research project as a culminating undergraduate requirement, and individuals and groups conducting research on topics independent of an informed means of assuming the role of researcher and embarking on a research study. It is written with the encouragement of learners who participated or will participate in research.

Teacher Mr Bernard Boyle (aka Bernard0 B0ilinni Ringhi0 di R0ssi of the Orb Zeronia) was almost out of breath, but never of magical Boyle-Breaths - good and bad ('BOYLE-BREATH' - Bk1). Bernard had just been made Acting Head at Roquefort High School, and Bernard0 had saved a teenage school suicide 'jumper' off Roquefort's infamous '3Rs' bridge, its Rogue-Rapids Roadbridge; but at the action-packed end of Bernard's first term as a Depute Head ('BOYLE-BREATH BREATHES' - Bk2) the High's Mr Damien Mortenson had resigned. Aaron Brown somehow had survived; but Damien had had enough, especially his having found out that school bully-chief Nikki Dedson's evil-mentor Cameron Mitchell was his own (previously sent for adoption) son Quite why Dedson's helper-in-chief Aaron Brown had tried to kill himself was a secret known only to the Bernards and the boy himself. A new school term beckoned, so schoolchildren and their families did too (indeed Boyle's half-Zero children Rino and Zea were now both 13 - younger Zero girls catching up with '0' brothers in actual human age as well as the usual intelligence and behaviour). Bullying was continuing also; seances, ghosts and vampires, dream-haunting and clinical depression - but murder? Social Workers, they're always about somewhere, always for the best yeah? Immigrants and gypsies, angels and devils, tattooists and em referees? IEDs... (But what if that Time-shifting sniper Mortenson had been able to pull the trigger on Lady Di...; what if the Confederates won the American Civil War...would Abraham Lincoln have become a Vampire Slayer? That 'Butterfly Effect' theory, Ray, does it hold truth? Really, really?) Father Stephen O'Reilly, what of him...a Time-travelling priest? Bless me Father Remember HIM &HER? Mm well of course you do What if Richard and Faith decided to get married and tell everyone everything in the end? Nikki Dedson: the Bully extraordinaire? Yes, he's still alive, but he's in two worlds now. Is he still a bully? Of course he is, and in both Boyle-Breath is a stinker, but with all those earthly pongs and perfumes at his beck and call he could, he had, and he would continue to help change noses, minds, lives, worlds What was Mr Boyle to do first though? How was his Zeronian 'half' Bernard0 to help? Where was a question: Earth &/or Zeronia? When was the subsequent problem...the Past, the Present; the Future They'd begin...at the End.

Internet research spans many disciplines. From the computer or information s- ences, through engineering, and to social sciences, humanities and the arts, almost all of our disciplines have made contributions to internet research, whether in the effort to understand the effect of the internet on their area of study, or to investigate the social and political changes related to the internet, or to design and develop so- ware and hardware for the network. The possibility and extent of contributions of internet research vary across disciplines, as do the purposes, methods, and outcomes. Even the epistemological underpinnings differ widely. The internet, then, does not have a discipline of study for itself: It is a ?eld for research (Baym, 2005), an open environment that simultaneously supports many approaches and techniques not otherwise commensurable with each other. There are, of course, some inhibitions that limit explorations in this ?eld: research ethics, disciplinary conventions, local and national norms, customs, laws, borders, and so on. Yet these limits on the int- net as a ?eld for research have not prevented the rapid expansion and exploration of the internet. After nearly two decades of research and scholarship, the limits are a positive contribution, providing bases for discussion and interrogation of the contexts of our research, making internet research better for all. These 'limits, ' challenges that constrain the theoretically limitless space for internet research, create boundaries that give de?nition to the ?eld and provide us with a particular topography that enables research and investigation.
