In August, the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife division named Alexander Hayes, a deputy district attorney in Clackamas County, its “Prosecutor of the Year.” Hayes has been with the district attorney's office for nearly four years, specializing in prosecuting cases involving illegal hunting and poaching. In one of his first cases with the county, he secured convictions against three individuals who had illegally baited and killed bears in eastern Clackamas County. In 2019, he worked with law enforcement investigators to stop a poaching operation involving sturgeon that was being illegally fished from the Willamette River and sold to local restaurants. Hayes joins us to talk about the challenges and rewards of prosecuting wildlife crimes.
Alexander Hayes speaks with Prof. Martin Nguyen from Fairfield University on his scholarship and his recent book, Modern Muslim Theology: Engaging God and the World with Faith and Imagination (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018).

The Tardigrade is on its way to Titan, the biggest moon of Saturn. We're about to break through its hazy orange atmosphere and land on its surface. Our ship won't be the first human-built device to land on Titan though. The Huygens probe made this place its home back in 2005, when it was dropped off here by the Cassini spacecraft. The Cassini-Huygens mission has taught us so much about this fascinating region of the outer solar system over the last 20 years. Now we want to take you to Titan so you can experience it for yourself. So suit up and strap in. It's nearly time to land on this fascinating landscape of hydrocarbon oceans, and icy mountains. And we'll be joined over our radio comms interface by Alexander Hayes, an assistant professor at Cornell Universty in the Astronomy department. He's part of the Cassini Mission to Saturn research team, so Titan is basically his second home. We're in good hands! Things to Learn Perspective - how far away from the sun is Titan? What's the story behind the Cassini-Huygens mission? What did scientists expect to find on Titan? Were they right? What does it look and feel like on Titan? What kind of suit will you need to explore Titan? How does sound work on Titan? Why are regions and features on Titan named after places from Lord of the Rings, and Dune? Who decides on these names? Tasks Enjoying the journey so far? We'd love it if you could drop us a wee five-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, or your podcast app of choice.

Presenter Alexander Hayes, ConsultantSynopsisMobile phone users will notice how many services are now location enabled using GPS technologies. The same technologies are predicted to play an increased role across all education sectors where the learner submits data as evidence to gain accreditation. In this session Alex will provide a compelling case to consider when (and where) these technologies are now situated in the delivery, assessment, validation and moderation activities of educators across all sectors.Download mp3 file (47 mins) PresentationConference connectionsTwitter #nswelearning11Archive of the day's tweetsFlickR images of the day
