Pastor Elio Marrocco's "Pleasure Does Not Equal Happiness" sermon at New Life Christian Church on August 8, 2014. You can learn more about New Life Christian Church here: http://www.newlifecc.ca
The main objective of this website is to offer a new way of thinking about such matters based on science and clear reasoning; a way of thinking that reveals meaning and purpose for our lives; a way that leads to natural personal fulfillment and happiness
The topic is all about how to use human conscience through the light of reason and emotion, and by looking at the example and teachings of Jesus Christ.
According to Worldometers' estimates for 2022, New Zealand has a population of roughly 4.9 million people. Christianism is the predominant religion in the nation, and English and Maori are the two most widely spoken languages.
New Zealanders typically think of themselves as being accepting of new concepts, diversity, and change. Most New Zealanders are proud of the historically predominately liberal social attitudes in their nation (for instance, New Zealand was the first nation in the world to grant women the right to vote). Most New Zealanders make an effort to be understanding and tolerant of most differences.
The world is perhaps at the point of the greatest crisis in all human history, and
there seem to be two attitudes we can assume. One is calmness, faith, and
conviction; the other would be despair. And despair is unthinkable. Let each, in
[their] own way, dedicate [their] time, service, hope, and spiritual conviction to
the common cause of liberty and justice for all. And let's work without tiring and
pray without ceasing.

Candice O'Denver-Education in the nature of mind a standardized solutionCandice O'Denver
There is nothing that is needed more at this point in history than a standardized solution to education in the nature of mind. Before the current era, people lived pretty much in isolated culture around the world, and each culture had its own idea of education in the nature of mind. However, society has changed significantly due to transportation, electronic communications and telecommunications uniting all of us together.
GOOD FOR WHAT? A sceptical look at the rationalising of morality.noiseTM
Thinking about morality is one of the more practical pursuits in philosophy – it can be, and is, applied in “real life” all the time, in law and politics, on ethics boards and in codes of conduct everywhere.
Which works ok up to a point - but despite thousands of years of systematic thought by some of the best brains in history (and believe me they are THOROUGH) there is still no final consensus on how we can define what is right and what is wrong.
Most systems of morality focus on trying to turn it into something rational, objective and universal – to get rid of emotion and the personal out of moral choices.
And yet isn’t “evil” just “stuff we REALLY don’t like?”
Thomas Morton will talk about why the holy grail of a purely rational morality may be a dead end – that morality is necessarily centred on human wants and feelings; and any attempt to divorce ethics from empathy is never going to be adequate.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

2. The Golden Rule
Why does every culture have such a consistent ethic of
right and wrong?
Is there such thing as an “individual morality”?
3. Natural Law
Natural Law is the original moral
sense which lets us figure out the
good and the bad. Because
everyone has this ability, we can
decide basic duties and
fundamental rights – we can make
community and civil law.
9. Happiness
We all want to live happily; in the
whole human race there is no
one who does not agree with this,
even if they haven’t thought of it.
10. Happiness
We all want to live happily; in the whole human race there
is no one who does not agree with this, even if they haven’t
thought of it.
God has placed this desire in the
human heart in order to attract
humanity to Himself, who alone
can make us happy.
11. Freedom
Freedom is the power given to us by
God to act or not to act, to do this
or to do that, and so to perform
deliberate actions on our own
responsibility.
12. Freedom
We can understand the
consequences to our actions, and so
we can cooperate with (or resist)
God’s plan for our happiness.
14. Responsibility
We are responsible for our free actions.
Sometimes we are less responsible, for
example:
when we don’t know what we are doing or
don’t know it is wrong,
when we are pressured to do something,
when we are too attached to something, or
if we’ve developed a habit.
15. Principle
a fundamental truth or proposition
that serves as the foundation for a
system of belief or behavior or for a
chain of reasoning.
17. Authority
Authority is the power or right to give
orders, make decisions, and enforce
obedience when:
It is recognized by the population as a whole
It serves the common good
We must obey legitimate authority, as long
as it is not unjust or immoral.
