Embedding OpenURL link resolver, PressDisplay News and Slideshare slides

In this post, I played with embedding different types of information, including an OpenURL link resolver link for an academic journal article, a youtube video, a PressDisplay news article and a slideshare slideshow.

I also touched on an idea to integrate and brand document delivery service and article request together as a seamless service and ponder what happens to dead people’s social networks.

Playing around with Scimagojr, Journal Citation Reports and Altmetrics

In this post, I played around with retrieving top journal listings from Scimagojr and Journal Citations Reports. They are presented in a simple table and a table that has some mouse-over effects. With the new “Paste from Word” function in WordPress, adding content from Microsoft Word documents is now a breeze.

It is knitted in the round so you need to mark out the left and right side of the bag and then repeat the pattern twice.

I will be here

I will be here is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman. When I first heard it, I thought it makes a wonderful wedding song. And it did appear in one of the weddings I attended.

Sometimes, I imagine Jesus singing this song to me, reassuring me of his loving presence in my life. If you are having a tough time right now, spend a little time and listen to Jesus telling you how close He is to you and He will be your strength to ride it out.

Joseph Prince Preaching at TBN Israel 2012

I signed up for Trinity Broadcasting Network Israel 2012 tour and programme in April 2012. I was told I had secured a place in June 2012. It was my first package tour in a very long time. I’m a free-and-easy person and dreaded the strict itinerary of a package tour. The draw of seeing and listening to Pastor Joseph Prince preaching in the Holy Land was enough for me to ignore my dread.
