I admire good translators. But not when it is from Mandarin to Cantonese or any other Chinese dialects for that matter.
A good translator doesn't just find precise words, but simple sentences as well. A live translation that's often longer than the original language in time is always bad, regardless of clarity.

Recommended higher level reading: Introductory Real Analysis, Kolmogorov & Fomin
Also recommended any Dover Books (good classic texts)
Review Chapter 1 as MATH 30800

It seems that most parts of advanced calculus is about proving things taken for granted in previous calculus classes. There should be indication of this in the beginning of calculus class, so I don't have to waste my time figuring out those proofs myself back then.

Once, everyone thought Rosetta Stone's pedagogy was the best. However, I learned that it contains inaccuracy when I apply what it taught me in real conversation.
Then, I gather that listening to songs of foreign languages was more helpful. Now, there are many songs or methods that apply dual subtitles to help one understand the content and learn the original language.
Now, there is Memrise (Android app - iOS app's audio is faulty at the moment), which is by far the greatest pedagogy in learning most anything that pertains to one's memory.

Ancient Philosophy Period:
May 28, 585 BCE - Sept. 4, 476 CE (Thales to the fall of the Roman Empire)
Scope of class: From Thales to Aristotle, as per text book: Readings in Ancient Greek Philosophy: From Thales to Aristotle, 4th Ed. by Reeve.
Pre-Socratic
Socrates: works: Apology, Phaedo
Plato: works: Republic, Symposium. School Academy.
Aristotle: Studies everything, e.g. biology. Logic, ethics, politics, physics, metaphysics, etc.
Lots of learning from this course coincide with Ligonier's Philosophy I.
I believe that using a commentary site for works like that of Plato's is rather convenient.
For Aristotle's works/etc..
Prof. Benjamin Vilhauer
With lots of talk about God. Perhaps this is the most interesting class for this term.
I find that http://www.informationphilosopher.com is very helpful in this course, and possibly all other philosophy courses.
Some of the entries will contain Ligioner's "Understanding Free Will" by Sproul.
It seems that the talk of having better fellowship, ecclesiastical living, etc. in America and hence the whole world today ultimately comes down to social aptitude, which is actually rather secular.
But judging from the scandals involving Dr. Tong, Alex, the ex-HK STEMI, Driscoll, etc., those could only band together because they are of the same friendship, not quite have to do with a good fellowship.
If I have not mistaken, I recall Dr. Stephen Tong once said he'll never understand this part. Since it was Dr. Tong, I try not to dismiss this verse likely.
Now, through Redeemer's West Side Men weekly devotional email, I've stumbled on the same issue. We are studying the book of Judges, and we use Tim Keller's book: Judges for You.
Keller, referenced Michael Wilcock:
The force of 14:4 is that the two communities are so interlocked that even the Lord can find nothing to get hold of to pry them apart. He uses Samson's weaknesses, therefore, to bring about the relationship with this irresistible girl from which so much ill-feeling will flow. ~ The Message of Judges, pg. 139
Keller: God not only fulfils His promise in spite of their sin, but even through their sin.
Thus far, this explains quite well. Today, this kind of society union is with the liberals, post-modernism. Worshipping peace, not God. But nothing is new, it happened before, in Samson's time, where Israel befriended the Philistines.
Verses of note:
James 4:4 "friendship with the world is hatred toward God".
Acts 2:23 "How God accomplish Christ's salvation for us through wicked choices of humans"I think Joseph's betrayal by his brothers could be included in this list as well (Genesis 50:20).
New Pharaoh forgetting the credit of Joseph.
Of course, this certainly answers whether God has done this elsewhere, but has the real question been answered? Why did God choose this way?
It would appear that Keller is taking this view:
The more "sleeping/rebelling" sinners God delivers, the more wickedness of the people (including those of His own people) God shall use to accomplish his promise/will.
This may be a good answer to Dr. Tong's question.
Sure, but that is only for attraction. They should not be the reason for someone to attend church. Many leaders/organizers/promoters/church members do not realise or care about this.
Worse still, they make it a cause for conversion.
When we use these "incentives", we must have integrity in our motives and characters.
It will be very telling in the testing of someone's faith, once these incentives are removed.
