the individual and collective beliefs of Japanese high school
teachers. It discusses personal and collective dimensions of
language teacher efficacy related to personal second language (L2)
capability, instructional L2 efficacy and collective capability

"To Live Forever - The Secret of Hawaii" shakes the foundations of
society, revealing to our hero, Polo Chanel, a way to live forever.
Polo had run away from the suffocating life of modern corporate
America to the freedom of living in Hawaii. I have a lot in common
with Polo. We were both educated at Yale and Stanford. Both Polo
and myself were ABC Television News Reporters in Hawaii, seen by a
million viewers everyday. We both knew the Hawaiian Kahuna who gave
Polo the secret herbs to keep his youth. But, Polo alone is the
real action hero who faces danger every day, conquers a vicious
mob, and seduces an untamable ballerina. It's an action-packed,
fast-paced, exciting, adventure, with a classic romance that is
funny, dangerous, and extraordinarily sexy as Polo finds out. The
scintillating romance that explodes between Polo and Juliette, the
ballerina, is only part of the surprise ending. Everyone who has
read this story has laughed, cried, and some have been moved to
consider living forever.
