a funny add

This morning I receive an email of an add for highschool math tutor from the department. The recruiter has certain requirement and it's very funny. If you don't know why it is funny....then umm... God forbid that! I also include the reaction from two of graduate students in our department, this is priceless... Have fun~



Tutor Needed:

Criteria:
1) we will consider only ASU Math dept grad students,
2) we will only conisder female students due to my daughter's preference,
3) my daughter is a high school junior - she would need tutoring for pre-calculus/trigonometry, calculus, for schoolwork as they occur,
as well as overall tutoring as she needs on algebra, problem solving, and test preparation (school as well as others),
4) the ideal candidate should have good teaching experience as well as be able to work well with teenagers, they should have
very good standing in the Math dept, excellent GPA, excellent regard from professors,
5) we would be requiring letters of recommendation from professors, student transcript (showing classes taken and GPA at ASU), copies of
any certifications.
6) any candidates must be serious about the tutoring job, we will not consider any casual inquiries.

the process would be: we would first communicate over the phone and go over the basics as outlined above, and if we think there's a possibility we would do a face to face interview. at that point other details can be discussed such as tutoring rates, times, basic rules/agreement on tutoring, cancelling etc.

regards,

mr.XXXX

看庫克牧師出手這樣大手筆，你可別以為他出身富豪之家喔！這是他目前的人生功課，因為上帝要他學習「給予」。當他剛獻身傳道、過信心生活時，上帝告訴他，要過相當長的一段微賤的日子。

在那一段時間，為隔日飲食祈求是常事，他常常需要問孩子隔天想吃甚麼，然後為此祈求，等天父供應。曾有整整九個月，他開著沒有汽油的車子滿街跑。上車若是發不動車子， 他就回頭問，是哪一個孩子沒有用方言祈禱。 他那三歲小女兒就馬上大聲用方言禱告，車子就發動。曾經整整十八個月，他沒有半分錢的進帳。但是，上帝供應全家食物， 並且讓車子沒油照跑。

在這段微賤的日子，上帝要教導他：人可以不靠金錢過日子。在過了許多年這樣微賤的日子之後，一天主對他說：「 你現在過這種沒錢的日子，覺得很自在，是不是？現在，我們換個遊戲玩！」

庫克牧師心想，我不曉得自己在玩遊戲耶！

聖靈告訴他：「現在，我們來玩『給予』的遊戲！從今天起，你不要開口向我祈求任何東西，而是開口禱告問怎樣給予。你將會幾百萬、幾百萬地把錢給出去。」

前些日子，他講道時分享已經給出去五百萬美金。他分享：「在玩給予的遊戲中，我學習上帝的慷慨以及上帝的碩大。迷失在上帝的碩大中，忘記了自己的微小。」

Beamer....

查查字典就知道 beam (一束光) 是什麼意思了, 一個德國人發明了叫 beamer 的東西, 它可以generate pdf slides, 像是 Microsoft 的 Power Ponit的東西. 但是很大的不同是, Power Point 其實很不好用, 尤其對我而言, 需要大量的數學符號跟圖片, Power Point 並不是很吸引人. 重點是, beamer是免費的! 所以, 如果你是數理人, 不用 Latex 編輯檔案或不用 beamer 做 Presentation 是件蠻丟臉的事. 還記得上上學期, 有一次做Presentation, 我用Power Point做Presentation, 結果全班只有我一個人不是用beamer, 丟臉丟大了! 有一次做報告, 不是用Latex編輯也被教授噱一頓~ 這一次要去 UC, Davis 去Presentation, 我被強迫學用 beamer. 不過我卻很高興可以學這樣的東西, 而且也只大概花了半天的時間就學起來了. 做出來的Slides又漂亮, 編輯數學公式也非常簡單. 大概因為我是一個以符號為學習方法的人, 文字如果不是拿來論說或是理論, 我就不是很行了. 不過說好歸好, 這東西實在是常常在我電腦上發神經! 我大概需要 generate 50片slildes左右吧, 我的老闆其實也不是很確定其中的detail, 所以常常改來改去的. 所以常在那張slide加圖片, 這張slide加公式, 或是乾脆那張slide全刪掉. 我很確定我的code是完全正確的, 但是它就是常常給我訊息說 : Damage of File, can't generate slides.
What the h#$l?!
剛剛又是一大堆問題, 我已經快被beamer搞瘋了!
免費的東西很棒, 但是它常常暗指 : I have bug~
A bug that drives you CRAZYYYY~~~

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN New Trailer Debut

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

I am not sure if I should promote this film. Grace Ou-Yang did mention this film and some promotions from Family Life Radio as well. However, I heard some criticism from other Christian groups. Me, I want to see this film anyway. Well, for you, it's your decision.
