Een verrassende vakantie Omdat FBI-agent Curtis hard aan vakantie toe is, besluit hij bij zijn moeder in Georgia op adem te komen.

Author Stephanie Doyle felt pressed by God to share this story. It is her hope that the story inspires others to stay strong through any hardship they encounter. She hopes that it illuminates the plight of many families dealing with the long-term effects of disability, perhaps even explaining who we are in the midst of our child''s disability. She maintains the goal of teaching people about CDKL5 deficiency disorder and, with God''s grace, lead others to a new diagnosis and the potential helps that are available currently and in the future.

Claudia Bertucci era una artista de la manicura, nacida en Brooklyn y que jamás había puesto un pie fuera de Nueva York. Pero de repente se vio obligada a esconderse de la mafia, y qué mejor sitió que una tranquila granja en el lejano Wisconsin, que además era propiedad de Ross Evans, un agente del FBI. Podía soportar el olor de las vacas, levantarse antes del amanecer, incluso prescindir de los cafés capuchinos... Pero resistirse al deseo que despertaba en ella su atractivo anfitrión, quizás acabara por obligarla a volver a Nueva York...

Drie vrolijke, hartverwarmende feelgoodverhalen in één bundel! Voor fans van Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella en Jojo Moyes - en voor iedereen die graag eigentijdse boeken voor vrouwen leest. (1) HET JAWOORD - Als jurylid een rechtvaardig oordeel vellen over een man die twee uur voor de dure ceremonie zijn bruiloft heeft afgeblazen. Een objectief oordeel - zonder persoonlijke gevoelens te laten meespelen. Kan dat eigenlijk wel? Zodra Sophies blik die van medejurylid Gary kruist, vonkt er iets tussen hen. Dus zoeken ze - ondanks alle waarschuwingen tegen persoonlijk contact - als vanzelf elkaars gezelschap op. En hoe vaker ze bij elkaar zijn, hoe groter de aantrekkingskracht tussen hen wordt. Maar ook de kloof tussen hun standpunten over de rechtszaak wordt steeds groter. Het onderwerp raakt een gevoelige snaar bij Sophie, die al gauw bij smartengeld uitkomt. Terwijl voor Gary de ruzie niet eens in een rechtszaal thuishoort! Als hij ook nog eens laat vallen dat hij een huwelijk hoe dan ook niks vindt, is voor Sophie de maat vol. Als kemphanen staan ze tegenover elkaar in de jurykamer om hun standpunten te verdedigen. Een compromis lijkt onwaarschijnlijk. Toch zal er een uitspraak moeten komen... (2) EEN BEETJE LEVEN - Lavinia Malone weet precies wat er mis is met haar hotel: het is saai geworden. Zelf kan ze er niets meer aan doen; daar is ze te oud voor. Maar ze kent twee mensen die wél voor een beetje leven zouden kunnen zorgen. Het is antipathie op het eerste gezicht wanneer Kit Malone de antiekwinkel van Jill Sanderson binnen stapt. Wederzijds. Oké, ze kunnen geen van beiden ontkennen dat de ander aantrekkelijk is - heel aantrekkelijk zelfs - maar verder... Het is dan ook voor allebei een schok om te ontdekken dat ze door een gril van een oude dame tot elkaar veroordeeld zijn. Tenminste, als ze het oude hotel dat zij hun heeft nagelaten, nieuw leven willen inblazen. Creatief als Jill is, ziet ze de uitdaging wel zitten. Want wat is er nou leuker dan de vrije hand hebben bij de inrichting van een oud hotel? Al zit ze dan wél opgescheept met een arrogante macho die óók een flinke vinger in de pap heeft! (3) OP WEG NAAR JOU - Van Seattle naar Philadelphia is een heel eind in een oude kever. Zo''n eind, dat je leven er bij aankomst weleens totaal anders uit zou kunnen zien. Gebonden door een oude belofte, rijdt Baily met haar kat in haar gele kever na jaren terug naar haar geboorteplaats. Onderweg ziet ze een man zijn auto total loss rijden. Omdat ze zich lichtelijk verantwoordelijk voelt - ze heeft zich een tikkeltje misdragen toen hij aan haar bumper kleefde - biedt ze hem een lift aan. Daniel, die naar Philadelphia onderweg is om zijn zus voor een onverstandig huwelijk te behoeden, heeft al gauw spijt dat hij het aanbod heeft aangenomen. Niets gaat gewoon bij Baily, ontdekt hij. Doodvermoeiend! Maar terwijl de wederzijdse irritatie groeit, groeit er een aantrekkingskracht die minstens zo groot is. Bij allebei. Puur fysiek, volgens Daniel, maar Baily begint voorzichtig te denken dat liefde misschien géén sprookje is. Alleen zal Daniel uit haar leven verdwijnen zodra hij zijn zus heeft gered. Tenzij hij inziet dat er geen weg terug is, natuurlijk. Deze verhalen zijn eerder verschenen en zijn ook los verkrijgbaar.

Inflectional verbal morphology, the system of correspondences between grammatical meanings and their means of expression, is an area of language which is difficult for adult L2 learners. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a pedagogical tool for Anglophone adult learners presenting French verbal morphology with a focus on semantics. This thesis adopts the view that explicit teaching of grammar is the most effective with these learners. Using theoretical insights from the Meaning-Text Theory, Le Morpheur, an Internet-based conjugator, has been developed. In order to see a fully-conjugated form using Le Morpheur, the user selects from a table of inflectional meanings those he wishes to express. In this way, the user becomes aware of all the meanings which must be combined to produce a verbal form. This resource was tested with a group of first-year French students at Dalhousie University. The participants were enthusiastic about Le Morpheur and the manner in which it presents French verb conjugation. These encouraging results indicate that continuing development and evaluation of this semantic-based pedagogical approach is desirable.
