congratulate the Open University of Hong Kong and its Centre for Research in Distance and Adult Learning (CRIDAL) for this endeavour. I am told that the conference will focus primarily on Asia, but the participants, over 100, have come from all over the world --- the subject is surely of global importance. Let me therefore add a word of welcome to the overseas participants. I wish you a pleasant stay in Hong Kong and fruitful deliberations at the conference. The operating environment for open and distance

All 71 refugees crammed into the dark, confined space, hoping that soon they would see the light of Austria. The back door slammed shut, and they felt the truck take off. The bumps on the roads started to intensify. Fidgeting and moaning worsened the claustrophobic feeling, so they remained still and silent, trying to sleep through the rough journey. The rusty ventilation fan that provided limited air supply continued to make grating sounds. This all made sleeping much more difficult. The tiny light

became a nationally recognized tennis player who uses his fame to make the world a better place. In 1970, Ashe’s visa was refused by the South African government because of its apartheid system; preventing him from attending that year’s South African Open (“Arthur Ashe”). As a result, he took actions to raise awareness of the country’s racial separation, "gained support from many prominent individuals and organization… and was successful in banning the country from the Davis Cup games” (“Arthur Ashe”)

favor from me. He said that if it isn’t a hassle at all, he’d appreciate it if I strolled through the city while spreading the posters he created. They advertised the open mic night he’s hosting, and the time everyone is expected to be present at. He would have done it himself, but he was preoccupied with the bar-- making sure it was spotless and ready for tomorrow. Every month, Mitch hosts an open mic night at the bar. It’s the most anticipated event in our small town-- often causing the bar to reach

Isenstein writing for the National Journal proposes that there is a distinct correlation between states with strict gun laws and gun violence. “The states that im¬pose the most re¬stric¬tions on gun users also have the low¬est rates of gun-re¬lated deaths, while states with few¬er reg¬u¬la¬tions typ¬ic-ally have a much high¬er death rate from guns.” (Isenstein) The charts that are presented in the article support the claim, but again bring up the question about the variables used to define death

constituents here in Texas that open carry under the 2nd amendment has a plausibility toward ameliorating the typology of violence each community has been inundated by. It has brought trepidation into people of walking down a street and getting shot at. The question is? Did the state lawmakers did not cogitate on the consequences of this bill before they determined it to be a safety net, or was it merely an act of provocation of asking for unwarranted trouble by the open carry law? This decision

We decide to go to a hotel for the night but I wanted to have sex on the roof of the hotel. Poking my head into the corridor, I look right and then let, trying to stifle a giggle.‘Coast is clear!’ I hiss over my shoulder. Turning back to aim myself  toward the elevators, I add ‘OK, I’ll go first and call the elevator and then…Ow!’ I yelp at the sudden bump that nearly sent me putting me sprawling onto the lushly patterned carpet. Straining against the doorframe to stop them both from toppling out

share cropper from Louisiana moved his family to Compton, California although there was much gang violence and drug lords but it was no accident. Richard Williams wanted his two youngest daughters to be successful and put them in the middle of the city to show them the ugly possibilities of life "if they did not work hard and get an education." Learning what he’d gleaned from books of tennis, he would start training Venus and Serena around the age of three, practicing on a court not far from their

the habits of his daily life” (Moohan, 2008. p. 27). To Plutarch, Antony’s activities such as fishing indicates Antony’s failure to live up to his honorable rank as a Roman general. He is clearly inferior to the man he once was when he hunted “cities, realms, and continents” (Plutarch, in AA100 Assignment Booklet, 2011, p.17). At times, Plutarch shows more concern with Antony’s behaviour than Cleopatra’s. Antony’s actions are described as “mad follies” and, although Cleopatra participates, it
