Cape May New Jersey
Lisa Simeone
Historians may be all atwitter this year over the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's New York voyage, but on Aug. 28, 1609, weeks before the captain sailed his ship up the river that would later bear his name, he got stuck on a sandbar in the Delaware Bay.
He wasn't exactly captivated by the mild breezes or the broad spit of land separating the bay from the Atlantic Ocean. After all, he was looking for a quick route to the East Indies, and North America kept getting in the way. But he lingered long enough for his first mate to write a detailed log of the landing, and in the coming years other explorers came to the sandy stretch Hudson had spurned. One of them, Cornelius Jacobsen Mey, bestowed his name upon it. Thus it became, in the Anglicized aftermath, Cape May.
Crossing the bridge from Route 109 onto Lafayette Street one day earlier this summer, I'm not thinking about Cape May's 400th anniversary as much as my own 25 years of coming here. Immediately, the traffic slows down, the road narrows to two lanes, a hush comes over the air. I start to recognize the houses, compare color schemes, notice if new sales or rent signs have gone up. And once again, I dream of moving here permanently.
Historic preservation meetings would be my domain. I'd be a docent at the Emlen Physick Estate. I'd eat at Louisa's all the time and climb the 199 steps of the Cape May Lighthouse to work off the calories. Would I ever get tired of looking at this fairytale architecture, strolling these tree-shaded streets, walking the length of the little boardwalk and gazing at the waves? Not possible. Cape May is a land of magic that always casts a spell.
It was a similar sense of enchantment that made Elan and Susan Zingman-Leith up and leave their Manhattan life 20 years ago and move to Cape May. "Sheer foolishness," Elan says. "We saw a house for sale and just jumped." The house is now Leith Hall, a fully restored B&B, and Elan is curator of the Emlen Physick Estate, one of the most distinctive buildings in Cape May.
Known to the local kids in its derelict days as a haunted house, the 18-room stick-style mansion was saved from the ravages of progress in the 1970s by preservation-minded citizens who formed the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. It's now a house museum, where you can get a sense of what life was like for a wealthy 19th-century gentleman. Dr. Emlen Physick commissioned celebrated Philadelphia architect Frank Furness to build the house for him and his mother in 1879. Physick and his mother had different tastes, and her various redecorations over the years gave the house the layers of history you see there today. She departed from Furness' spare, clean, geometric oak and chestnut patterns and "heavied it up," in Elan's words, piling on the drapes, doilies, rugs, fabrics and tchotchkes the late Victorians were so well known for. Then, in 1900, with styles again changing, she gave some rooms the Edith Wharton treatment— light, airy, uncluttered, French. Despite the surface changes, Furness' original work shines through in the moldings, furniture, mantels and stained glass. "Curators like things pure," says Elan. "But people just like what they like. You get a sense of immediacy in this house, as if the people who lived here just stepped out."
Another place with that sense of immediacy, and the most spectacular of the dozens of B&Bs in Cape May, is The Mainstay. People from all over the world have heaped praises on this inn, so pardon me while I pile on. But it's hard to overstate the effect The Mainstay has at first sight. A supremely elegant, symmetrical, Italianate mansion, its enormous veranda sweeps around three sides of the house, supported by slender white columns that lend a Southern plantation feel. The clapboard walls are yellow, the giant floor-to-ceiling shutters green. Its two stories are capped by a square belvedere (a great place to watch thunderstorms). Once you know its history, the house invariably conjures its original, more rakish incarnation: a gentlemen's gambling club, built by architect Stephen Decatur Button in 1872. One can still imagine the dapper denizens of a hundred years ago sipping port and smoking cigars on the veranda.
Inside, though, it takes your breath away. This is where the Victorian love of ornamentation manifests in all its glory. Fourteen-foot-high ceilings are covered in pattern upon pattern of Bradbury & Bradbury art wallpapers. Elaborate chandeliers, gargantuan pier mirrors, dark mahogany carved furniture and Oriental carpets all grab the eye. And that's just the entryway.
The parlors and dining room are equally gasp-inducing. It used to be my goal to stay in every one of the guest rooms at least once, six in the main house, another six in the adjoining cottage. But over the years, I've chosen my favorites. Give me the dark, moody lushness of the Henry Clay Room or the Cardinal Gibbons Room over the fanciful brightness of the Clara Barton Room any day.
If just looking at all this variety is overwhelming, imagine creating it. That's what former innkeepers Tom and Sue Carroll did when they bought the property in 1976 and began restoring it. Tom, a native of Towson, was stationed with the Coast Guard at the time and fell in love with Cape May. He and Sue saw potential in the old house. "If your marriage can survive wallpapering together," he says with a laugh, delivering the old adage, "it can survive anything!"
The Carrolls ran The Mainstay for 30 years then sold it to owners who've hired a staff to manage it. Although they no longer sit with guests every morning at breakfast or greet them at 4 o'clock tea, the Carrolls live just around the corner, and Tom, who serves on several historic preservation boards, is still involved with the town's buildings.
"I loved the interaction with guests," he says of his years at The Mainstay. "But I also love taking historic buildings and renovating them, giving them a new life, a new purpose."
Two such projects are the Cape May Stage, a jewel of a theater in a renovated 1850s church that attracts Equity actors from Philadelphia and New York, and the Cape May Designer Show House, an annual fundraiser akin to the Baltimore Symphony's Decorators' Show House. This year's Show House is a cottage in the Gothic Carpenter style, with all the flourishes and furbelows one expects from a charming wooden seaside cottage. It sits behind a white picket fence in the center of town and will be open to the public through December.
A few blocks away is the most recent renovation success story: the Congress Hall Hotel. Dating to 1816, burnt to the ground in 1878 and rebuilt a year later, the Congress Hall hosted four U.S. presidents in its heyday. John Philip Sousa conducted his band on its massive front lawn and even named a march in honor of it. But as the fortunes of Cape May waned in the 1960s and '70s, so did those of the Congress Hall, and it fell into disrepair. For years, the
L-shaped structure stood there, a whisper of what it once was. Then, in 1996, a visionary developer named Curtis Bashaw came to the rescue. He fully restored it, and it reopened in 2002.
Today, the hotel looks remarkably like it did in postcards from more than a hundred years ago. Dozens of wooden rocking chairs still line the colonnade surrounding it, white-painted balconies still perch outside the windows of many of the 106 rooms, the green lawn in front still stretches to Beach Avenue and the ocean beyond. The decor inside, though, is strictly contemporary. Zebra-patterned carpet covers the floor of the chic, bustling bar, called the Brown Room. The Blue Pig Tavern (named after a gambling parlor once on this site) serves modern cuisine indoors and out. Downstairs the Boiler Room hosts live music and feels like a Manhattan nightclub.
But outside, steps away, there's still the simple silence of the streets and the ancient sound of the sea. The wind blows through the branches of the sycamore trees, horse-drawn carriages clip-clop down the block. I can follow the sidewalks and stroll past familiar spindles, balustrades and widow's walks. There's no hurry. In 25 years, Cape May has never disappointed me. Twenty-five hence, I'm sure she never will.

NASCAR's 2018 Monster Energy Cup Series season is four races old and no one except Kevin Harvick has won a race in the series since Feb. 19.
Austin Dillon's Daytona 500 victory hasn't faded from memory but three consecutive victories by Harvick have kept the Stewart-Haas Racing driver's name in the headlines.
Well, that and a bit of an issue in Las Vegas that cost Harvick and his team a few points and a few bucks.
Back-to-back wins in the series aren't common and to win three in a row is an impressive feat. Harvick will go for a fourth when the series heads to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., this weekend.
Eleven drivers have won four straight – several of them are in the NASCAR Hall of Fame and a few others will be soon enough.
Bobby Allison once won five in a row, it happened in 1971, and so did Richard Petty. Of course, Petty didn't stop at five. The "Randleman Rocket" won 10 straight in 1967 and like most things that Petty accomplished during his racing career, that streak remains a series record.
Trot out your usual complaints – the fields were smaller back then, the competition not as fierce – but the fact remains Petty won 10 in a row. Against fields large and small. And during a season that consisted of 49 races.
Buddy Baker ended Petty's streak that fall with a win at Charlotte. It was Baker's first victory in the series.
• Putting all four of its cars in the top 10 at Phoenix (ISM Raceway) was a first for SHR. The organization has fielded four full-time teams since 2014. This year's lineup consists of Harvick, Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer and Aric Almirola.
It now boasts 42 wins in NASCAR's top series, putting it between DiGard Racing/Nord Krauskopf and NASCAR Hall of Fame owner Cotton Owens on the overall list. Among active organizations, SHR is presently eighth in victories.
What was previously a winless Haas CNC Racing outfit has certainly come a long way in a relatively short period of time – SHR is celebrating its 10th year this season.
• Joe Gibbs Racing and Furniture Row Racing are surprisingly winless (of course so are a lot of other folks at this point) but the Toyota bunch have been in contention. All four JGR drivers – Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones – also finished in the top 10 this past weekend. Martin Truex Jr., the defending series champ, logged a fifth-place result with FRR. If they aren't standing on the doorstep to victory lane, they're at least pulling in the driveway.
• Over in the Chevrolet camp, the work around the new Camaro ZL1 continues. In this year's three non-restricted races, Chevy teams have combined to claim just four out of a possible 30 finishing positions inside the top 10.
• Four-time NASCAR Cup champion Jeff Gordon will be inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America tonight (March 13) in Daytona Beach, Fla. Gordon is third on NASCAR's all-time win list with 93 victories. He retired from full-time competition after the 2015 season and currently works as an analyst for FOX during its NASCAR broadcasts. Earlier this month, Gordon was announced as one of 20 nominees to be considered for the NASCAR Hall of Fame's 2019 class.

If your child has received this diagnosis you will be aware of the range of difficulties associated with the name. It is not just about co-ordination.
As your child gets older, the differences in physical abilities and processing will become more obvious both to you and your child. One of the unfortunate tendencies that we often see is that the child becomes an expert at avoidance, whether it is by stealth, or refusal because of a fear of failure, or somewhere in between. This can result in less practice and reduced learning time when compared with peers and a further tendency to "fall behind." It can gradually turn into misbehaviour or becoming "the class clown". Early intervention is advised.
A major aim with all our families is to boost self-confidence and inspire success. This is often a vital ingredient when dyspraxia is the diagnosis.
Our program is designed to take small steps towards each goal. It makes it achievable.

First Lady says "hurt" by Mujuru ouster
Post author:MUKUDZEI RUKUDZO
(Last Updated on October 17, 2015 by Editor)
ZIMBABWE – First Lady Grace Mugabe has claimed that she is hurt that former Vice-President Joice Mujuru had to be expelled from the ruling party last year.
President Robert Mugabe's wife said this to thousands who braved the searing heat and gathered at a rally in Rushinga in Mashonaland Central province.
She said her suspicions that the Mujuru faction was working with the opposition had been vindicated.
There are people who died in Mozambique during the war and their graves are there.as you mother I am reminding you never to forget how we got our independence.
A lot of people from this province sacrificed their lives to secure this nation's independence.
It's cold outside Zanu PF that is why you find some people suspended from the party but are attending this rally.
Some people think that since they fought in the war it gives them the right to misbehave. It happened to one of our own from this province and it hurts us as women, Grace told her captivate audience.
Some people are working hard to keep the party united and instead of uniting some went on to unite with our detractors.
Mugabe's wife was at the forefront of a smear campaign against Mujuru then viewed as one of the leading figures to take over from the 91 year old leader.
Mujuru was accused of working with western countries hostile to Mugabe to topple his government.
Despite her spirited denials the former VP was forced out of the party in brutal fashion along with dozens of her lieutenants who included cabinet ministers and provincial leaders.
At the time of her countrywide campaign to get Mujuru sacked, Grace did not show any sympathy for the then embattled VP and even when then information minister Jonathan Moyo described the accusations against the country's former number two as political banter the First Lady continued to stick to her accusations.
Former transport minister Nicholas Goche, suspended from the party for three years for his alleged role in trying to recruit Israeli hit-men to take out Mugabe, attended the Rushinga rally.
With Mujuru now reportedly mulling coming back to the political fold by leading a group of disgruntled former Zanu PF members under the banner of People First, reports have also suggested that some of her followers are afraid of being arrested because of the many crimes they committed in the name of the ruling party at their political prime.

Q: Duplicating the partition key onto a clustering key Not sure if the question's title sounds crazy but I thought about this and I'd like to check the "validity" of the pro's and con's I imagine.
The ideal C* query in "production" targets only one partition, possibly with additional restrictions on the clustering keys. A data model should be designed with that in mind.
However, for analytics jobs, e.g. using Spark, the queries would not work like that: "searching" for specific partitions is often needed (and I could not find a way to do that properly with SparkSQL and the dataframe API) and it should not work like this: a Spark job should target many partitions to spread over all the co-located Spark/Cassandra nodes.
My data model works in such a way that acquiring my data in real time inserts partitions as a whole. My partitions are "atomic": a large analytics job with Spark will mainly correlate data within one partition (which is good as it allows data locality for the Spark executor) but my main problem is to find on which partitions I want to operate.
So, what about duplicating my partition key and have it as a clustering key as well? This would allow me to build a SASI index on it and have the "best of both worlds" just at the cost of the additional storage.
Would this be a sound strategy?

It's been a while, but I wanted to take a moment to recap what happened in my running life between the Run for the Apples in October and the close of 2017.
On October 27th, I ran the Scare in White Bear. It was snowy and cold, but a really nice small-town race. I've always been a big fan of evening races, so I loved this one. There were friendly zombies along the course, runners in costume, a small bonfire, and hot cocoa at the indoor awards ceremony. Parking was super easy and the course was mostly a flat, fast out-and-back. I plan on doing this race again in the future. My finishing time was 32:00.
The following afternoon, I ran the Anoka Gray Ghost. Anoka is considered the Halloween Capital of the World, so they go all out. I've run this race several times and I enjoy it every time. This year, a group of friends decided to dress in 80's fitness gear. As a huge fan of costumes, I was IN!
This particular race is more about the atmosphere and fun with friends, so I took it easy and chatted with a friend while we ran. My finishing time was 34:46.
Next up was the Hale to the Bird 5k on Thanksgiving morning. This is another favorite race of my family's. We love the small-town feel, nice course, and easy logistics. Nothing really stood out about the race this year, probably because it's an annual thing for us. My finishing time was 32:35.
My last race of the year was the Jingle Bear 5k. This was our second year running this one. Again, it's another race with a small-town feel. Much of the course is the same as the one for Scare in White Bear, just run in the opposite direction. It's fast, flat, has a view of the lake (or ice in the winter), offers indoor restrooms, and has an indoor awards ceremony. My family plans to keep this race on our calendar as our annual December race.
2017 was my best running year yet, for so many reasons. I ran 20 races this year, ran my first marathon, PR'd my half marathon distance, PR'd my 5k distance, made more awesome memories with my favorite running friends, AND hit a PR on annual mileage! I finished out the year with 511 miles. My previous highest mileage year was 232 miles, back in 2012. My life felt like it absolutely revolved around running in 2017. Most importantly, though, is the fact that I was able to stay healthy through it all; it was almost magical.
The year of 2018 will look very different from 2017, because I will not be training for a marathon. I'll get into more specifics about my plans for 2018 in my next post.
Until then, tell me about your best running year.

Q: ANTLR4 repeating ANDs With the following rule:
expr:
 '(' expr ')'  #exprExpr
|   expr ( AND expr )+  #exprAnd
|  expr ( OR expr )+  #exprOr
|  atom #exprAtom
|  ID  #exprId
;

atom:
  '[' ID RELOP INT ']'
;

I would like to allow statements like this:
[a<3] and [b<4]
[a<3] or [b<4]
[a<3] or ([b<4]and [c<5])

but forbid statements like this:
[a<3] or [b<4] and [c<5]

This basic idea  seems to work with this grammar.
But there is one aspect/side effect, which I do not understand:
While parsing code with 3 atoms ( like atom1 and atom2 and atom3)
the method exprAnd ist called twice (not once, as I would expect
it to).
So code like this:
 public String visitExprAnd(myParser.ExprAndContext ctx)  {
String res = "";
int type=-1;

int nAtoms = ctx.atom().size();
for (int i=0;i<nAtoms;i++) {
  String s = visit(ctx.expr(i));
}
return s;

}

does not work for all and-expressions at once.
So somehow I would have expected the exprAnd and exprOr rules to be
more greedy.
How could one achieve this?

A:
but forbid statements like this:
[a<3] or [b<4] and [c<5]

That is best done after parsing. Your grammar accepts this (and it should). You just need to walk the parse tree afterwards and reject it when you encounter it during a tree-traversal.

While parsing code with 3 atoms ( like atom1 and atom2 and atom3) the method exprAnd ist called twice (not once, as I would expect it to).

If you want to group these ANDs together, you should do something like this instead of grouping it all together in a single expr rule:
orExpr
 : andExpr ( OR andExpr )*
 ;

andExpr
 : atom ( AND atom )*
 ;

atom
 : '(' expr ')'         #atomExpr
 | '[' ID RELOP INT ']' #atomBracket
 | ID                   #atomId
 ;

EDIT
A complete example:

parse
 : expr EOF

Friday Futurecast — August 14
Health and safety update for university community members
August 14, 2020 Friday Futurecasts and Updates from Campus Leaders
Welcome to this week's Friday Futurecast, providing the latest updates on our plans for fall, how we are preparing, and what to expect.
These updates are archived on the UMaine Return to Campus website. The University of Maine at Machias also has a Return to Campus website.
Transparent and continuing communication
To promote transparency, the University of Maine System has launched a testing summary dashboard on its Together for Maine website to provide the public with access to an aggregate summary of COVID-19 asymptomatic testing activity and results. The dashboard will be updated daily and will not reflect testing that occurs outside the testing agreements established in support of the System's screening strategies.
The spring 2021 semester begins Jan. 25 and eliminates the traditional weeklong spring break to discourage travel away from and back to Maine. There will be a one-day break on March 24 and the semester ends as previously scheduled. The updated academic year calendar is on the UMS website and will be posted on the Office of Student Records website early next week. UMS announced yesterday that room and board rates will be reduced by 20% for the fall semester to account for the planned transition to distance instruction at the Thanksgiving Break.
In-person, on-campus experiences and other learning modes
Additional guidance on the use of face coverings by students and employees is on the UMS website. Face coverings are required at all times on University of Maine System campuses, property and facilities, both indoors and outside and if traveling on university business in a vehicle with others or engaged in official university business or activities away from campus.
In keeping with a commitment to offering expanded intramural opportunities in the upcoming academic year, UMM Student Life will hold the first disc golf competition of the season on Aug. 30. The naturally socially distanced sport is one of a variety of outdoor activities planned for students this fall, in addition to game nights, trivia and virtual programming.
Maine Hello Week is still seeking volunteers to help greet at buildings and parking lots. Social distancing and face covering practices will be in place. Sign up by emailing: maine.hello@maine.edu.
Flexibility, responsiveness, empathy, and science
As noted by Interim Provost Gilbert this week, UMS has issued guidance for limiting in-person classroom experiences, where possible, to no more than 30 people at a time. We are re-checking ventilation, size of classes and other factors and working with chairs, directors, coordinators and deans to enhance the use of hybrid and flexed instruction, where possible to meet that guidance. We are also working together to consider situations that meet requirements for 49 students to meet at one time. Each situation will be reviewed with final decisions expected by Aug. 21.
High-quality learning in the pandemic context
UMaine faculty are encouraged to include the following statement on their fall syllabi: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The virus is transmitted person-to-person through respiratory droplets that are expelled when breathing, talking, eating, coughing or sneezing. Additionally, the virus is stable on surfaces and can be transmitted when someone touches a contaminated surface and transfers the virus to their nose or mouth. When someone becomes infected with COVID-19 they may either have no symptoms or symptoms that range from mild to severe and can even be fatal. During this global pandemic, it is imperative that all students, faculty, and staff abide by the safety protocols and guidelines set forth by the university to ensure the safety of our campus. All students are encouraged to make the Black Bears Care Pact to protect the health of themselves, the health of others, and the college of our hearts always. More information is on the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning website.
UMaine and UMM Early College fall orientation packets are being sent to students. Students will have access to the Online Orientation in Brightspace and will be able to participate in information sessions with the Early College team during the first week of classes.
Continuing our missions for Maine
This week the University of Maine System posted its latest guidance regarding domestic and international travel, and quarantine and isolation. UMS requires all travelers arriving in or returning to Maine from all locations, unless returning from a state exempted from the 14-day quarantine per Maine civil authorities, to self-quarantine for 14 days from the date of return or until obtaining a negative COVID-19 diagnostic (PCR) test for COVID-19. All residential students returning in the fall will be required to quarantine while awaiting test results, as part of the university's safe return to campus plans.
Our campuses are open to those who have business they need to conduct with UMaine and UMM. As noted by UMS guidance, members of the public who have specific business with the university are asked to limit their time on campus and call ahead to verify hours of operation. Members of the public who are not students or employees who can defer their business or who have no bona fide need to be on campus are asked to avoid visiting at this time.
Fogler Library's building will reopen on Aug.17. At this time, access to the building will be limited to faculty, staff and students of the University of Maine System; staff from the University of Maine Foundation and the University of Maine Alumni Association; and UMaine retirees with a Gold Card. Patrons will need to use the entrance closest to the Memorial Union. A valid card will be required for entry. More information about library safety policies and procedures is available at library.umaine.edu/return.
Student Life's UMaine UVote in collaboration with the Political Science Department and professor Rob Glover have been awarded a $19,146 grant from Ask Every Student, a project of the National Resource Consortium on Full Student Voter Participation. The grant will directly impact our voter education efforts this fall.
Partnering to address health
The University of Maine System is extending planned asymptomatic COVID-19 testing to include a second round of screening for all students or staff arriving from out-of-state, residence hall students, and special populations. The phase two follow-up screening will occur seven to 10 days after arrival testing and is part of a three-phase surveillance strategy to lower the risk of disease transmission on campus from asymptomatic carriers. A UMS news release is online.
A virtual meeting for community leaders will take place on Aug. 18. UMaine is partnering with Orono, Old Town, Veazie and Penobscot Nation officials to share resources, communicate procedures and collaborate to ensure safe return for both campus and the community.

The Lovely Grind: Spiritual Inspiration for Workdays by Michael Priebe
Listed on: August 23, 2017
Is work wearing you down? Do the days of your grind have you feeling angry, anxious, or just plain empty? Are you looking for inspiration and a way forward? In The Lovely Grind, writer Michael Priebe gives fatigued and frustrated workers 90 devotional messages that provide comfort, motivation, and a path toward a more fulfilling and spiritually satisfying life. What is your biggest professional challenge right now? Dealing with difficult coworkers and the insanity of groupthink? Trying to work through depression or some other illness? Trying to appear engaged when your job is actually a million miles away from your true passions? By discussing a broad range of work-related stressors and then offering spiritual and thought-provoking perspectives on each, The Lovely Grind connects readers with the beauty that exists within and all around them, even as they sit in professional settings that might seem less than inspiring. According to a recent survey conducted by the American Psychological Institute, perhaps a third of America's workers are suffering from chronic work stress. If you are feeling worn down because of the pressures and challenges of a job or career, you aren't alone. Life is less than enjoyable for millions of people because their professional existence has devolved into something that is sucking the soul out of daily living. Lost in a haze of mind-numbing meetings, physically challenging tasks, lengthy commutes, and petty coworker problems—tempted to write off the majority of days while waiting for the next vacation or pay raise—millions of workers begin to see life as painful, or worse yet, as mundane. Millions of people want to feel more alive and more spiritual on a daily basis, but where do they begin? The Lovely Grind offers a starting point for recapturing life's vibrancy and pursuing meaningful spiritual growth. With a tone that is simultaneously casual, literary, spiritual, and psychoanalytic, the messages in this book help readers find spiritual peace, inner strength, and the motivation needed to pursue a more fulfilling future. This book is both self-help and Christian devotional. By pointing to the profound and comforting words of Jesus (and other apt Scripture references), this book gives readers the perspective they need to survive and transcend the myriad challenges of both professional and personal life. By pointing readers toward self-love, self-care, present-moment awareness, and a healthy work/life balance, this book allows readers to discover a more soulful and productive way of living. It encourages proper care and development of the body, mind, and soul, and it aims to help readers find the proper motivation for both business-world success and meaningful self-improvement. Whether you are chronically stressed, professionally unfulfilled, or just looking for a little extra workday motivation, the devotional messages in this book will help you to survive your most difficult professional challenges while developing personally and growing spiritually.
"Very Inspirational"
Five Star Review on Amazon By Nancy
We have started reading the book and are enjoying it very much. I have shared it with many people on Facebook and know a few people that have bought it and are liking it too.
Michael Priebe holds a journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Over the years, he has written about politics, sports, entertainment, and spiritual growth. He also writes short fiction. In his spiritual writing, Michael is especially interested in separating Jesus' messages from any negative noise that modern politics, rhetoric, and institutions have attached to them. He aims to help readers apply the true spirit of Jesus' transformative teachings to their daily lives and their professional outlooks. In his fiction writing, Michael playfully and thoughtfully examines family relationships, professional life, and the complications of navigating existence in an age of social media. He currently lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Claudia. You can find more of Michael's spiritually inspiring content at www.lovelygrind.com, and you can read his blog, Awkward Observations, and read some of his fiction at www.michaelpriebewriter.com.

What start a relationship? You meet someone by chance and then going for a few drinks at the bar and leading towards the moment of sparkle after being drunk. Perhaps, that's the cliché nowadays of how relationships form? Somehow, none of my relationships started that way, even though I have personally witness a fair few that formed due to alcohol. Perhaps, it is just me, because I prefer my partner sober during the most romantic moments, as it just makes the timing all the more real and all the more memorable. Well, I am just talking about the starting point of a relationship. Director Derek Yee is great director and perhaps, the best director in HK for the last 5 years. He has made original movies that brought audience to tears in Lost In Time, film nourish – One Nite in MongKok and this year – tackling the relevant issues of youth in 2 Young. It is perhaps the most surprising move that Yee would make a formulaic romantic comedy starring the usual pairing of Daniel Wu and the box office queen – Miriam Yeung. Sure, the movie is not ground breaking and probably will not win any awards for originality, but a lesser or weaker Yee's film is already a good par better than most.
A romantic comedy filmed in probably the most light-hearted manner in Yee's career, but as light-weight as it seems, Yee once again is able to produce an affecting piece of work filled with issues here and there, despite not being totally engaging as either 2 Young or Lost in Time. Comparison with his previous films will be unavoidable, however, the more the audience forgets about Yee's previous efforts, and the more they will enjoy this delightful flick. Yee tackles issues that are once again relevant, about how alcohol which has now become a huge part of social life that many relationships started due to it and also ended due to it. While commenting upon the Generation X, such as the issue relating to marriage for those that are in their late 20s and early 30s, Yee highlight the problems of ambitions and marriage.
What Yee once again does extremely well, is basically his realistic portrayal of the characters. The situations and streets and restaurants all seemed extremely realistic and perfectly aided by the casting of the established romantic pair of Daniel Wu and Miriam Yeung. Yeung does well, despite playing a similar role that she has done for the past 3 years, but Yee knows how to make it real, with a simple technique – retrained comedy. Yeung does not go all out, but rather restrained herself and perhaps giving her best performance alongside Dumplings. While there are times that she seems extremely stereotypical of what girls in movies are like, there are also times that she is extremely real and compelling. Daniel Wu continues to mature as an actor and once again plays his role competently and showing great potential of becoming HK Best New Generation Actor.


Nowadays technology has brought lots of modifications to our life, especially in education and communication. Much the identical might be stated about Arendt, in particular her dialogue of expertise in The human situation (1958), though her place in the canon of humanities philosophy of technology isn't as distinguished. The risks of know-how are one of the conventional ethical considerations in the ethics of know-how. The notion of malfunction additionally sharpens an ambiguity within the common reference to intentions when characterizing technical artifacts. While this is an comprehensible viewpoint, I still have faith that technology means positive impact on society.
Note: Main-stream e-studying is a special case of computer-based mostly coaching and pc-mediated communication It additionally may embrace other parts like passive or interactive multimedia animations. Martin Ryder's Instructional Technology Connections If you have an interest in studying severe texts, this is and has been for so long as we are able to remember the perfect resource of links on the Internet.
Hansson has proposed the following alternative principle for danger evaluation: 'Exposure of an individual to a threat is suitable if and only if this exposure is a part of an equitable social system of risk-taking that works to her benefit' (Hansson 2003: 305). This is the case as a result of common ethical requirements, concepts and methods are often not particular enough to be relevant in any direct sense to specific moral problems.
This view is a significant supply for the extensively unfold image of know-how as being instrumental, as delivering instruments ordered from 'elsewhere', as means to ends specified exterior of engineering, an image that has served additional to support the declare that expertise is neutral with respect to values, mentioned in Section three.3.1. This view entails a substantial distortion of actuality, nonetheless.
Although the respected skilled group Association for Education Communications and Technology (AECT) puts forth working definitions for what this area could embody, Richey 2008 and Lowenthal and Wilson 2010 argue that even what to include and exclude from such definitive statements about the field should nonetheless be strongly debated.
