Madeline Moore, a good friend, published her first book a few years ago.To celebrate her spectacular achievement I hosted her at one of her favorite restaurants in Berkeley, Cafe Venezia. You can take a look at the photo and get an idea of why Madeline loved this restaurant so much.You can see a line of laundry pinned to a rope clothesline with wooden pins. Dresses, bras, panties, man’s shirts and pants, are “hanging to dry” in the air from one wall to another. There is an Italian water fountain bubbling with clear water in the middle of the dining room that looks as if it was set in Venice, Italy.The decor and ambience of this restaurant drew many customers that are artists, writers, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and academics from UC Berkeley. Venezia’s customers were people who appreciate beauty and fine food at shockingly reasonable prices. To use the words “cheap prices” would be accurate but would not fit the aura, or the tone and tenor of Cafe Venezia.Midway through the perfectly prepared garlic gamberi (prawns), Madeline brought up a character in her book.I said, “Oh, yes! On page 32 you described..” and recited a short paragraph of five sentences word-for-word that described that character.Madeline was stunned that I not only knew the page number, I could also recite a complete paragraph!She signNowed into her handbag and pulled out a copy of her book, flipped through the pages until she came to page 32, and read that specific paragraph aloud.This true story is being shared with you to let you know that you already have the ability to recite sentences you have read in books by memory.“Huh?” you say.I can prove it to you.If I asked you to describe what made the interior of Cafe Venezia memorable, you would be able to recite something like this, There is laundry pinned to a rope clothesline with wooden pins - dresses, bras, panties, men’s shirts and pants are hanging to dry. There is also a water fountain in the middle of the room.See how much you remembered? A lot!If I asked you to describe Venezia’s customers, you would be able to give even more details.See?Here comes a secret tip:If you want to be able to recite a paragraph of lines word by word written in a book, or a poem, do what people who have that skill do.FirstPeople who are able to recite sentences they have read in books by memory are able to do that because those sentences captivated their attention through the beauty in the words - how the words sound, the rhythm, or the words contain meaning that inspires insight, or they present unique details, or the sentences are structured to blend all that have been just mentioned.ThenWe take our attention further by reading and rereading and rereading those lines over and over again to savor the beauty in the words, or to feel the inspiration of the words wash through us.We even read the words aloud to thrill to the beauty in how the sentence is structured.Through pure indulgence, by savoring beauty, we joyfully memorize the lines.It is easy.Give in to great pleasure.You can do the same.(Google images)

Universities ask employees to fill in a job application for several reasons:1) it weeds out those who would cheat by having someone else fill out the information for them. You can pay someone else to write a CV but it is harder to find someone else willing to fill out a ten page application for someone.2) the application is easier to control - the answers are all in the same order, making it easier on the HR people to read them, the same questions are answered by the application where a CV might not mention some of the questions that are included on the application, and they are submitted in the HR system so it is easier to sort the applications (weed out those without college degrees, those who do not mention experience in accounting, etc).3) accreditation often requires all employees be hired using the same application process.4) auditors find it easier to check the applications to make sure there is no favoritism. If all applications are the same, it is easier to rule out favoritism.I was once in charge of hiring employees in my department and one applicant simply put her name and phone number on the application, expecting we would just hire her because she knew someone in the department.She called him (Professor X) and said she applied, and he tried to pressure me into calling her for the interview. When I said no (she had done nothing to demonstrate to us that she was qualified - she left everything blank), he went to HR and told them I was being unfair to ‘his applicant.’ He assured them he knew this person for twenty years and she was his former assistant when he worked for the federal government.They called me and told me I should interview her - she sounded right for the job. I asked them to review her application and tell me if they would interview her based on the application alone. They reviewed her application and told me that no, they would not interview her, either, based on just her name and phone number.She contacted me to ask me why she had not been interviewed for the position of Professor X’s assistant. She hadn’t even read the job announcement - she just presumed she could walk in and become Professor X’s assistant rather than doing the job we were hiring for. When she didn’t get the job, she wrote me a rude email saying “All you have to do is bother to ask Professor X how well I do my job and how quickly I can learn.” I wrote back, “I am the supervisor of all the staff and frankly, I don’t hire people who can’t be bothered to even fill out a simple form. I don’t want people working for me who don’t follow directions. And I need someone with actual experience they can prove rather than someone who wants me to interview someone else to have THEM tell me about their qualifications. Don’t waste my time with your application in the future if it is not complete.” She did waste my time twice more - she applied for other jobs in my department and never completed the application. She would have Professor X come in and demand I interview her and I would show him the incomplete application and say, “If you didn’t know her, would you hire her? She can’t even fill out the application - either she is not very smart or she is very lazy. Either way, I don’t need her on my staff.”So the application weeded her out immediately. If she had just submitted a CV someone else wrote for her, I would never have known she was too lazy to do work that would be required of her and she might have been interviewed and hired.

As asked of me specifically;The others are right, you will likely need a lawyer. But to answer your question, there is a response form to respond to a restraining order or order of protection. Worst case the form is available at the courthouse where your hearing is set to be heard in, typically at the appropriate clerk's window, which may vary, so ask any of the clerk's when you get there.You only have so many days to respond, and it will specify in the paperwork.You will also have to appear in court on the date your hearing is scheduled.Most courts have a department that will help you respond to forms at no cost. I figure you are asking because you can't afford an attorney which is completely understandable.The problem is that if you aren't represented and the other person is successful in getting a temporary restraining order made permanent in the hearing you will not be allowed at any of the places the petitioner goes, without risking arrest.I hope this helps.Not given as legal advice-

The surprising truth about English in GermanyWhen I first visited Germany for the first time more than fifteen years ago, I got the impression that everyone spoke English: My partner’s family, friends and acquaintances all spoke English. Even though some were not fluent, all of them could express themselves fairly well in English. During that visit, we did a small tour of Germany starting from the small town in Southwest of Germany) near Heilbronn where my partner’s family lived and headed to Berlin in the north about 600km away and then to Hamburg to the North-west and back. During this trip, pretty much everyone I encountered spoke English. I also noticed an eagerness of sorts among the many Germans I met to speak English. Strangers would often ask me probably because I looked different whether I spoke French or English. Needless to say, I concluded that one could get by in Germany without speaking German which as I later found out was at best naïve and at worst, well, very naïve :-)Living in Germany when you barely speak GermanA year after my first visit, we again visited Germany and this time I had an inkling that maybe not everyone spoke English. We drove to the southern town called Konstanz to visit his aunts and uncle. Konstanz is a border town bordering Switzerland and is a very popular tourist destination. His uncle’s and aunts’ English was halting and since I barely spoke German, my husband did most of the translations.Konstanz on Lake Constance (Bodensee)Soon after, we finally moved to settle in Germany.As soon as we arrived, we set out looking for a place to rent. This phase was very difficult but we eventually managed to get a place largely because of help from my husband’s family and friends.This early period was exciting mainly because there was so much to learn and to be shocked and surprised about. One of the things that I remember being particularly shocked about was the fact that one had to buy their own kitchen whenever they move into an apartment. A built-in kitchen is not part of a German lease. The other thing was the shocking figures/amount of money one had to pay the real estate agent. I think we paid two months’ rent as commission to the real estate agent and a month’s rent as deposit.But all these pale in comparison to what awaited me. As soon as my husband started working, I settled into my new life and went about learning German. I suddenly had to do things for myself, for example, buy myself a tram ticket, shop for food, just run daily errands and at this point I started realizing what I had deep down suspected: that most Germans don’t speak English. Like my husband’s extended family, they understand English but it isn’t a language that they are comfortable speaking. I remember especially dreading going to a bakery. I would walk into a bakery and feel a latent dread. The baker behind the counter would look up at me with an expectant face. I would fumble trying to decide what to order and how to say it correctly in German. And almost always, there would be someone waiting in line and watching and listening impatiently to the ongoing circus. I resorted to just using my hands pointing to what I want and nodding or shaking my head. The few times I attempted to talk in English, I was often met with blank faces or puzzled irritated looks.Visiting a doctorBut if I thought that this was bad, it was about to get worse. At around that time, I went to a gynecologist. I was then expecting our first child. My husband had called them and made the appointment for me but I went alone. When I arrived at the doctor’s practice the assistant handed me a bunch of forms to fill but they were all in German. With my basic knowledge of German, I could neither read nor understand what was in the forms. The two assistants spoke no English. I still vividly remember the exasperation on their faces when they realized that I could barely speak German. They had to do a blood test, measure my blood pressure, do urine test and all kinds of stuff and they had no idea how to communicate that to me. One of them, the younger of the two held her arm and then pointed to my arm and then to a blood pressure cuff. She repeated the process with a syringe to communicate that she needed to get some blood. When it came to urine, she didn’t quite know how to demonstrate but I somehow understood what she meant. To call that experience a nightmare would be a huge understatement. Luckily, the gynecologist, walked in and to my relief spoke to me in perfect English.This particular episode repeated itself several times. Whenever I went for a doctor’s appointment, whether dentist, gynecologist or whatever doctor, the assistants tended to not speak English while the doctors tended to speak English. The challenge however was that most of my interactions were with the assistants. I had to call them to schedule the appointment and to somehow manage the pre-appointment stuff before seeing the doctors.Losing confidence and feeling miserableIt was almost as if the Germany I had visited previously where everyone spoke English was a different one from the one I had settled in.The effect of all these on me was a massive erosion of confidence. Not being able to express myself and listening to people discuss issues affecting me without my input is one of the most humbling things that I have ever experienced.I continued learning German even more determined to overcome the difficulties and break out of this nightmare. I was surprised at how naïve I had been about the German language. For some crazy reason, I had convinced myself when I first started learning German that it wasn’t so different from English. ‘Guten morgen, Good morning’! sounded very similar to me. And now to my horror, I was finding out that it wasn’t just different, it was on a totally different level. Every noun had an article (die, der, das) which ultimately affected how to conjugate and construct correct sentences. Not using the correct article could easily make one sound like a moron which I did for the most part. The worst part was that these articles were all random and you somehow had to just know by heart that a table is male, milk is feminine and a book is neutral.Needless to say, Learning German was a long and frustrating experience. Regardless of how much I learnt, I often had the feeling that I couldn’t quite communicate with normal folks. There is something about learning a language from a text book that is quite unnatural and rigid. I had seen and experienced this in Kenya where tourists armed with Swahili lessons would go around telling people ‘jambo’or ‘hakuna matata’ .While this is all correct and proper, no Kenyan actually goes around greeting people with ‘jambo’ or saying crazy stuff like ‘hakuna matata’. It is very touristic and awkward.I was increasingly faced with a situation where my German was improving but the quality of my interactions was not. I felt awkward and unsure of myself. The other thing is that I felt an intense sense of shame whenever I was unable to express myself or made mistakes. Learning a language involves a lot of trial and error. One has to practice in order to get better. While this process is relatively uncomplicated for children because they don’t feel ashamed when they make mistakes, it becomes more complicated the older one grows because as adults we feel self-conscious. Being corrected is kind of cute when you are travelling around a country as a tourist but when you live in the said country, you start feeling the condescension that comes with it. I naturally resented this. As a result, I started avoided talking German unless I was 100 percent sure that whatever I was saying was correct. This is probably the worst strategy when learning a language. The less I talked, the less practice I got which ultimately meant that I was trapped in a vicious cycle of stagnation.Watching from the sides, a spectator in own lifeMy husband seeing my frustration decided that he was going to help me out by practicing German with me. We would only talk in German to each other. By doing that, I would practice listening and talking German in a safe environment. This didn’t go well. I would concentrate on trying to construct correct sentences and he would point out the errors and explain how to say them correctly. While on the surface this might sound like a brilliant idea, the reality was that it turned our lives into a monotonous dreary existence. I would often be pissed off at his incessant enthusiastic corrections. And he would be frustrated at my frustrations. After a few weeks, we were done. We went back to talking to each other in English.I can describe my life then as being trapped in a parallel universe. It’s incredibly tiring to communicate by using gestures or to constantly look through dictionaries to figure out how to say something correctly.I really missed a normal life. I missed small talk. I missed laughing. I found out that it’s impossible to laugh when you don’t understand what’s going on around you.I lived in Germany without living in Germany. I could see what was going on around me but I was a spectator in my own life. I had, like many foreigners taken the English in Germany at face value.5 important points to remember about English in GermanyThere is a very big difference between visiting a country and actually living there. When you visit a country as a tourist, you concentrate on doing fun stuff. You are not going to work or running day to day errands.What this means is that one is often surrounded by people whose objective is to make one’s life as painless as possible. What I didn’t realize and painfully learnt was that these kinds of people are the minority rather than the majority in any country. Germany is not an exception.Many Germans understand English but because they don’t practice it, they do not necessarily feel comfortable speaking it. I believe that this was the case when I first arrived and continues to be the case even today. English in Germany is largely passive.As a tourist, you can get away with speaking no German. People will go out of their way to help you out. This luxury is not accorded to foreigners who live in Germany. I for example quickly started feeling people’s impatience and frustration.Many people think that it is only the uneducated people in Germany who don’t speak English. This is not completely true. There are very many very well educated Germans who don’t speak any English, again I think because it is a language they don’t need for their day to day work.There is also the belief that how well one speaks English has something to do with their age. While it is true that a relatively high number of young people in Germany speak English, it would be foolhardy to make such a generalization.
