For Immediate Release January 22, 1999
PRESS BRIEFING BY
JOE LOCKHART
12:05 P.M. EST
Q Is the President going to Arkansas?
MR. LOCKHART: I think, as the President indicated when he returned and made a statement, he's quite concerned about the damage and the devastation caused by the multiple tornadoes. He'll be looking for a recommendation from FEMA Director James Lee Witt on whether his traveling there would get in the way of relief and repair efforts. So I expect he'll get an assessment before the day is out and we'll let you know.
Q Would the President's view, or your view, that there will now not be witnesses called in the Senate trial and, in fact, they'll move expeditiously to end the trial?
MR. LOCKHART: I think it's the President's view and the White House Counsel's Office view is that decision has been deferred until Monday. It is our belief and our hope that however the Senate decides to move forward in their wisdom that they find an expeditious and fair way to bring this to a conclusion.
Q Well, would that be to go ahead and vote on the articles of impeachment without further delay?
MR. LOCKHART: That certainly would fit the expeditious criteria. And if they could -- I think we would look forward to the day that they could find a way to put this behind us.
Q The President and the First Lady have always zealously guarded their own privacy and particularly that of Chelsea. So it was striking to hear Senator Bumpers talk with such specificity about the family problems. Had he cleared those remarks in advance, or were these improvisational?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think Senator Bumpers certainly had access to the arguments we've made through our briefs. But the statement he made was something particularly on that issue that he made based on his personal feelings and his personal knowledge and longstanding friendship with the President and his family.
Q Is that okay for them, from the Clinton's perspective, that somebody would talk about their personal family situation?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think in talking to the President about it, his reaction was that they've known each other for 25 years, he understands the difficulty that he's caused for his families, and that Senator Bumpers had added an element of personal -- a personal element to his comments. And he thought it was appropriate.
Q Bumpers said -- if I may -- it was very eloquent, maybe, but very tough. He said, the President would rather have died than to have done this.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think the President has expressed similar feelings over the past year about the damage he's caused to his family.
Q Senator Bumpers' statement yesterday that the President should have "thought it all out beforehand, just as Adam and Eve should have" -- how does the President believe that Adam and Eve should have, since they didn't know the difference between right and wrong?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think that's what he said.
Q Yes, he did, that's what he said, that he should have thought it --
MR. LOCKHART: Lester, let's spend part of tomorrow reviewing the transcript together -- that would be great.
Q Has the President been speaking to any senators personally on the issue of impeachment during the course of the trial? And if not, why not?
MR. LOCKHART: No, the President has, as a matter of normal course of business, spoken to senators over the last couple of weeks, from legislative issues, budget issues, State of the Union issues. And I'm certain in the course of those conversations the subject of impeachment has come up.
Q What has the President's message been to these senators on the subject of impeachment?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President's message to the senators is something that he talks about with the senators. And if they want to talk about it, they can -- but I'm not going to.
Q Can you tell us what the President said on the impeachment, the one question he got in the New York Times interview?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. I think the interview reflected it. I'd be glad to release the transcript.
Q No, I mean on impeachment.
Q There's a direct quote?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes. And it's in the paper this morning.
Q Joe, there's no quote in the paper.
MR. LOCKHART: Yes, there is.
Q There is? There wasn't in my paper.
MR. LOCKHART: In a story written by Mr. James Bennet about the very issue we're talking about, about the family and -- I'll release the transcript.
Q So the quote from that interview is in Bennet's piece.
MR. LOCKHART: That is correct.
Q I see. I see.
Q Did the President agree with the characterization by Senator Bumpers of the ordeal for his family?
MR. LOCKHART: I'll let the President's words speak for themselves and I'll release that transcript to you. But it is in the story this morning.
Q Did the President confer with Senator Bumpers --
Q Now that you've offered your defense, the President gave a State of the Union that was fairly well received, do you feel optimistic about things now, that you've put this behind you?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President is gratified that his State of the Union was so well received. I think he believes it's important, as I've said many times from here, that he remain focused on the people's business. And that's what the State of the Union was all about.
As far as our ability to predict the future, I think we have from time to time during this process, starting in the House, gone through periods where a consensus has developed that would be in the best interest of this country to put this behind us. Unfortunately, a consensus has never developed on how to do that. We hope that the Senate in their wisdom can reach that consensus and we can move on with the people's business.
Q Joe, in the State of the Union speech, the President mentioned that in June he would be meeting with other world leaders. My question is does this mean that he believes the trial will last through June or was he announcing his acquittal before the trial's even over?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I think he was announcing that he would attend the G-8 meeting this year like he's done for the last six years.
Q Joe, just to clarify. Did the President talk at all with Senator Bumpers before the Senator made his speech?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I know of while he was preparing the speech. I think the President did speak to him early in the week as we reached out to him as this -- with the idea that he could join the team and make the statement. So I think on Monday he spoke to him. I'm not aware of any specific conversations between then and the speech, but I can't rule them out. I didn't ask directly.
Q Bumpers raised this issue and particularly the question about the President's daughter Chelsea and the way the President feels about that. So how does the President himself feel about his daughter and whatever it is she feels about this?
MR. LOCKHART: Let me paraphrase what the President said when he was asked about that last night. He said, in effect, that Senator Bumpers knew him and his family for 25 years and he thought was trying to add or inject a personal sense to this whole proceeding for the benefit of the senators. He also said that it had been hard for his family -- for his wife and his daughter; that they had worked very hard at this; that he believed that they were through the worst, but they would continue to work hard because they loved each other very much.
Q Joe, does it appear to the White House based on statements made by some of the senators yesterday, especially Republicans, that sentiment now seems to be moving away from calling witnesses and towards a short end to --
MR. LOCKHART: Again, I would only repeat, and it's as responsive as I can be to this, that we've been at points before where there's been a consensus to end this. We've lacked any mechanism for finding a consensus for how to do that. So again, it's our hope that the Senate in their wisdom can look at the presentations that both sides have made, look at the way that both sides respond to the questions that they put forward and find a way to end this expeditiously.
Q Joe, some of the Democrats yesterday spoke of informal discussions going on about some way of bringing closure here. Is the White House involved in any of those discussions?
MR. LOCKHART: Not that I'm aware of.
Q Not at all?
MR. LOCKHART: No. Not that I'm aware of. I read with interest stories in the paper about informal discussions, but I'm not aware of a role that we're playing in those.
Q Joe, the President told the Times he stays awake at night worried about the possibility of germ warfare, but he's still not, as you say, paying that close attention to his own problems. Doesn't that at some point strain credibility?
MR. LOCKHART: I urge you to look at my words and not try to read more into them or less into them. I have never said that the President's not concerned about this. I've never said that the President's not informed about it. But I have also said that he's not going to sit in his office all day and watch the proceedings or allow himself to be diverted from the reason that he's here, which is to do the people's business.
Q Joe, there was a story that was going around the markets yesterday that Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan had talked to President Clinton about extending his term beyond June 2000. Do you know if there was a conversation between Greenspan and Clinton and can you debunk that story or support it?
MR. LOCKHART: I'm not aware, nor had I heard that. You should check with Chairman Greenspan's office on that.
Q As far as you know there's been no conversations between the President and Chairman Greenspan on --
MR. LOCKHART: I can't tell you when the last time they spoke was, but I've never heard anything like that as far as conversation.
Q Joe, the President announced today a big increase in spending to defend against weapons of mass destruction and terrorism, and he also said in that interview that there's a high probability that there could be such an impact in the next few years. Is there any new information that's come along to spark this concern?
MR. LOCKHART: No. Let me -- the President has since the first day he came into office was very interested in making sure that we both prepare for and work to deter this kind of threat, whether it be chemical, biological or the increase threat of cyber terrorism. I think in his speech today he detailed some of the things he has done and some of the things he will or is proposing that we do. So this isn't something that has become -- that has just entered sort of his policy or areas of the concern he has for policy.
I think one of the things that he did mention today and he believes has been a big step forward is the consolidation of how the government deals with these issues. I think, as he said, it was a legitimate criticism 18 months, two years ago, that we had 12 different offices around the government that dealt with these issues. Now there's one. We have a national coordinator. We have a center at the Justice Department that deals with these. And I think the President, as he stated, believes we must remain vigilant on the threats that face us, both to prepare for anything that could happen and to deter those who would consider using these threats against the American people.
Q But, I mean, if someone were to launch a biological attack on the United States it would be very serious. Would the United States consider ever taking preemptive action?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I don't think I'm going to get into the range of options that are available or that might be used. But I think the President's speech today should demonstrate his commitment to taking all steps necessary to deter any threat against the American people.
Q Joe, as the defense rested its case in chief yesterday, how was the President briefed on how things went, what was his reaction? Did he watch the Bumpers speech on television?
MR. LOCKHART: He got a short briefing yesterday on Mr. Kendall's presentation. And I think he watched the bulk of Senators Bumpers' presentation. He had had a break in his schedule and sat down and watched a bit of that in the dining room. I think he was interested in seeing how Senator Bumpers approached this. He's obviously a longtime fan of the oratory skills of Senator Bumpers, going way back to the days of Governor Bumpers and even before that. I think was he impressed with the arguments that he made and was gratified that Senator Bumpers would use his skill, wisdom and institutional knowledge in the President's defense.
Q Did they speak afterwards, the President and Senator Bumpers?
MR. LOCKHART: Let me check on that.
Q Was it the bulk or a bit of that? You said he watched the bulk and then you said he watched a bit of that.
MR. LOCKHART: I meant the bulk.
Q Joe, as Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces, does the President believe it is equal justice in the law that midshipman Michael Pilson (phonetic) has been expelled from the Naval Academy for fornicating in Bancroft Hall with Midshipman Hanna Kessler, (phonetic) who was not expelled?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know that the President is aware of the facts of that case. I am certainly not.
Q It's page one of The Washington Times, also reported in The Washington Post.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, that probably ensures that I'm not --
Q As Commander isn't he concerned?
Q -- this relatively dry assessment of the President's looking at Senator Bumpers' speech -- it's a very emotional speech. You said he was impressed with the Senator's arguments, gratified the Senator would use his skill, wisdom and institutional knowledge. Tell us how the President was moved by that.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think -- I mean, the President is very familiar with the speaking style of Senator Bumpers. I think he appreciated the lighthearted and humorous moments, as did -- it sounded, from watching it on television -- most of the Senate did. I mean, we've sat through six days of this and it's the first time there was someone who got a laugh intentionally, which was, I think, good for the viewing audience.
You know, he believed that Senator Bumpers made a compelling case. And he made a case that was slightly different than those that had gone before him, that had argued primarily on the legal front. I think Senator Bumpers sought to look the Senate in the eye and ask them, and implore them, that now was the time to do the right thing, to end what he called, this nightmare. And, you know, let America get a good night's sleep, I think, was one of the lines. And I think the President was impressed --
Q Forgive me for interrupting -- where did the idea for Bumpers come from? Whose idea was that?
MR. LOCKHART: I think there was some sense -- I don't know any particular person -- there was some sense that we had a very effective case to present on the law, the Constitution, the facts, but there was not someone going in on our side that had any institutional knowledge. There was no -- on our team there's no former senator in the Counsel's Office. Our lawyers are quite effective, but we thought it would be very useful -- and I think we'll let senators make the ultimate judgment -- but we think it was useful to have someone who knew the President well, but, more importantly, knew the Senate well and could make a case to those who were going to sit in judgment in this case.
Q Was it the President's idea, Joe? Did the President say to his legal team, look, let's get Dale Bumpers, he'll do a great job?
MR. LOCKHART: No, I don't think so.
Q Bumpers strongly suggested that if the President were removed, chaos might result. Does the President believe that if he's removed and Mr. Gore becomes President, in fact chaos, dark night --
MR. LOCKHART: I have never had a discussion about what would happen after the President's removed with the President, so I can't answer that question.
Q If I may just follow up, Scott. It's much remarked on in this morning's reportage of Bumpers' speech that particular angle of Bumpers' argument. And I think it's legitimate to wonder whether the President believed his removal might result in chaos and great disruption.
MR. LOCKHART: I think it's equally legitimate to just let you continue wondering.
Q Does America have anything to fear from a Gore administration, Joe?
MR. LOCKHART: I think America has a lot to look forward to, but they've got another couple years to wait.
Q Forgive me if you went through this already, but did the President know that Bumpers was going to raise the personal family issue?
MR. LOCKHART: No, not that I'm aware of. I don't believe that there was anyone here who, beyond talking about the general outlines of the case, knew how Senator Bumpers was going to approach his presentation. I think it was a highly personal effort to weigh out the important facts as he saw it before the Senate and the important obligations as he saw it -- he thought the Senate should take up.
Q Did the President think it was appropriate, though, after hearing about it or watching it?
MR. LOCKHART: I think, as the President said -- and you'll see the transcript right after the briefing when we get it out -- that he thought that what Senator Bumpers was trying to do was to bring a human element, an element of compassion to what had otherwise previously been a dry recitation of legal facts and the law.
Q Joe, a small point -- who was with the President when he watched Bumpers on TV?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't know. I think he may have been watching by himself. I'm not sure.
Q Joe, we've taken a crack at this before without much success, but I'll try again today --
MR. LOCKHART: It's Friday.
Q Any clue what's going to happen on Monday, what is going to happen when the Senate begins to consider motions?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the Senate has laid out a procedure where they'll deal with a series of motions. What happens between now and Monday, I don't think anybody here knows, nor do we know precisely what will happen Monday.
Q If there's a vote to subpoena witnesses, does the White House have a list of witnesses it will put forward?
MR. LOCKHART: We're going to follow the rules here. We'll see if the Senate in their wisdom decides to move forward with witnesses. If they do, we will deal with that matter then.
Q Joe, this has been a very difficult personal year for the President. He's going to be meeting the Pope on Tuesday. What is his state of mind on meeting the Pope?
MR. LOCKHART: I think the President is always anxious to spend time and share views with the Pope. He's very much looking forward to next week's visit and is gratified that the Pope has chosen once again to come and visit our country.
Q Will they have a private meeting?
MR. LOCKHART: Yes.
I've also got the week ahead here before we all -- if I can do that.
Q One more thing, Joe. Did Chuck Ruff for Greg Craig read what Bumpers was going to say or -- I mean, did anybody review what Bumpers was going to say?
MR. LOCKHART: Say again?
Q Did anybody review --
Q Not even Chuck Ruff?
Q High-level meetings have been going on between India, Pakistan and the U.S. on -- and other affairs -- presidential visit can take place if the right moments are there. Also the President mentioned in his address to the union -- a meeting between India and Pakistan. Now, during his visit to Russia is he going to make this case that Russia should pressure India to sign --
MR. LOCKHART: I'm sorry, during his visit where?
Q Is he going to mention this to President Yeltsin or he has spoken with him, that Russia should pressure India to sign --
MR. LOCKHART: I don't have any particular knowledge of something going on there. Obviously, our position on non-proliferation, CTBT and other issues are well-known. We have laid out a very clear path, we believe, for both India and Pakistan to take. And I think it's clear also the benefits for both countries in taking them. But I don't have anything more specific than that.
Q Has he heard back from Yeltsin on the ABM?
Q If I could follow -- Pakistan is also ready to fire another missile, and during this -- crisis, nuclear testings, and the U.S. is trying to hold nuclear missile testings on all them. But still, Pakistan is trying to test another missile.
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I think, again, both parties know exceedingly clearly what our position is and how we believe both countries can move forward in a way that mutually benefits to them and to our relationships with both countries.
Q Has the President heard back from his letter?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't think so. I don't know that --
Q What was the question?
MR. LOCKHART: Has the President heard back on the letter he sent to Yeltsin. I don't think the letter was designed to elicit a response. It was more of a, as we described yesterday, a heads-up on some of the things that were going to be in the State of the Union.
Q Joe, given the argument the White House has made that there is really no way to know if two-third of the senators have voted for conviction on a specific charge because of the way the charges are structured, and then Senator Bumpers' argument yesterday that there would be havoc following a verdict to remove the President -- does that mean that the President might challenge such a decision by the Senate, say in the Supreme Court, or somewhere else?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, I don't -- I'm not aware that there is an available legal challenge. I think this is the one trial that goes on where there's no appeal.
Q Week ahead?
MR. LOCKHART: The week ahead. Does that mean I'm almost out of here?
Q How about us?
MR. LOCKHART: Saturday and Sunday, the President has no public schedule at this time.
Q What does that mean, "at this time"?
MR. LOCKHART: Well, who wants to take a crack at "at"? (Laughter.) You know what it means.
Monday morning, the President will host a welfare event at Presidential Hall. Quiz: Anybody know where that is?
Q No.
Q It's 450 OEOB.
MR. LOCKHART: Thank you.
Q When did it get the new name? And why?
MR. LOCKHART: I was informed yesterday it had been renamed following the renovations. I didn't know it was being renovated. But 450 Old EOB is now called, by executive decree, Presidential Hall.
Q Why?
MR. LOCKHART: I don't have the slightest idea.
Q Is it call Presidential Clinton Hall?
Q When was this done?
MR. LOCKHART: Sometime this week? I'm kidding about executive order. Just a joke.
In the evening, he and the First Lady will host --
Q Wait a minute, what is this?
MR. LOCKHART: It was renamed -- they did some renovations in there; when they reopened it, they renamed it Presidential Hall.
Q Who's "they"?
MR. LOCKHART: They -- the excellent people that run administration here at the White House.
Q Is that for the whole building or --
MR. LOCKHART: No, just for 450.
Q And what are they doing that evening --
MR. LOCKHART: We're talking about 450 Old EOB, Wolf -- don't interrupt us. Sorry. They are doing Monday evening, the fifth millennium lecture series. Pool coverage. This lecture will feature Professors Natalie Davis and Martin Marty, who will present a broad view of the millennium in a historical and religious context.
On Tuesday, the President and the First Lady will travel to St. Louis to greet Pope John Paul II. There will be an arrival ceremony for the Pope and the President and they'll hold a brief -- there will be a meeting with them. I expect there to be a pool opportunity at the top of that. Back at about 5:00 p.m.
Wednesday --
Q Joint news conference?
MR. LOCKHART: It's not written here, Sam. I'd be for it, but it's not written here.
On Wednesday the President will participate in an event at the White House to highlight support for the President's Social Security plan, which he addressed in the State of the Union. Later that afternoon, he'll meet briefly with the President-elect Chavez of Venezuela and will host his annual dinner for the CINCs -- CINCs, commanders-in-chief.
Thursday, the President will hold an event to announce his new work force development initiative. Don't have a time, place or location -- place and location would be the same, I guess. Later that day he will host the Detroit Red Wings at a ceremony to celebrate its team's Stanley Cup victory. Open press, including Mr. Fournier, who takes a special interest in that.
Friday the President will host the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors breakfast at the White House. No public schedule as of now for Saturday and Sunday. See you Monday.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

I'm surprised at how many people are shocked at NYC Schools Chancellor Walcott's sales presentation to principals last Saturday. It's encouraging, of course, that the principals gave him such a cool reception. After a decade of crap that never works, it's good to see that even administrators are not buying it. Bloggers I read regularly are shocked that he resorted to being outright political.
Yet it's one of Walcott's primary duties to fight for and defend crap that doesn't work. As long as Rupert Murdoch can squeeze a few extra millions out of it, whether or not it works is of no consequence. The important thing is to keep tossing out untested and unproven mandates and hope for the best. The best, of course, means Mayor Mike gets to fire as many teachers as possible, close as many schools as possible, and have Eva Moskowitz and her minions take over as many buildings as possible. Every dollar paid to a unionized teacher is a dollar that hedge-fund magnates may not get their grubby little hands on.
The NYC Chancellor, since the advent of Michael Bloomberg and mayoral control, is not at all the same position it once was. Ostensibly, the chancellor is supposed to be a voice for public school children. But now, the chancellor serves at the pleasure of the billionaire mayor, whose pleasure is closing neighborhood schools. undermining others by siphoning high-performing kids to charters, and thus creating a domino effect.
When Democrats stand up and say it's time to stop closing public schools, it's time to respect parents and teachers, and it's time to stop enacting insane policies that help no one who isn't already a billionaire, that threatens Bloomberg's legacy. It cannot be tolerated.
Thus, Walcott must be trotted out to proclaim how successful the mayor's policies are. That's his prime directive. He follows in the footsteps of previous non-educators Cathie Black and Joel Klein. Since none of them know anything at all about what it means to be a teacher, they can spout whatever they're told and not worry about how utterly inaccurate it is.
I certainly hope we get a mayor who isn't insane soon. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask, but it's been a long, long time with Emperor Mike, and who knows whether or not he'll change the law again to buy a new term for him and best bud Christine Quinn? But it's time for a new mayor. And it's time for a new chancellor who really has the interests of children at heart.
And if that mayor wants to know what children need, there are a whole lot of parents and teachers who can fill in the details.


We report wind measurements within Martian dust devils observed in plan view from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) orbiting Mars. The central color swath of the HiRISE instrument has three separate charge‐coupled devices (CCDs) and color filters that observe the surface in rapid cadence. Active features, such as dust devils, appear in motion when observed by this region of the instrument. Our image animations reveal clear circulatory motion within dust devils that is separate from their translational motion across the Martian surface. Both manual and automated tracking of dust devil clouds reveal tangential winds that approach 20–30 m s−1 in some cases. These winds are sufficient to induce a ∼1% decrease in atmospheric pressure within the dust devil core relative to ambient, facilitating dust lifting by reducing the threshold wind speed for particle elevation. Finally, radial velocity profiles constructed from our automated measurements test the Rankine vortex model for dust devil structure. Our profiles successfully reveal the solid body rotation component in the interior, but fail to conclusively illuminate the profile in the outer regions of the vortex. One profile provides evidence for a velocity decrease as a function of r−1/2, instead of r−1, suggestive of surface friction effects. However, other profiles do not support this observation, or do not contain enough measurements to produce meaningful insights.

My game is not downloading. I always get the message that the installation stopped since two months. I can install other games on my xbox but not this one. I already played it but I had to reinstall it cause it didn't start. I got it from the Microsoft store.
I have also enough storage on my xbox.
pre-ordered the Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition digital bundle.
Thanks Brad. I have now entered the code and my game, Forza Horizon 4, is downloading. It seems to be taking an age. What's the average time for a game to download?
Gamepass renewal : download code for forza horizon 3 deleted after 30 days, can it be resent ?

Home Android OS Jelly Bean What is Project Butter in Jelly Bean Android OS?
What is Project Butter in Jelly Bean Android OS?
Google recently launched Jelly Bean its latest android OS offering after Ice Cream Sandwitch. But many people were surprised to hear the term Butter with Jelly Bean.
Well Project Butter is one of the key features of the new Jelly Bean Android OS 4.1 and like its name the idea is to make the UI highly intuitive and give the user experience like running on butter.
Animation: A more smoother effect is given when we swipe on the screen to see next set of App Icons. The new feature makes it 60 fps.
Android will now predict where you are going to touch the screen next and add animation user experience around that point.
Both these features will make the UI extremely responsive and give user an impression that UI is buttery smooth. This is very important for tablet PCs as the effect is more recognizable on tablets than on smaller screen smartphones.


Doolphy was developed by an ex-management Consultant to solve the problems he encountered during his time with project management.
• Planning: The tasks to be performed in different types of projects are repeated with slight variations; therefore, the project templates are designed to save time and effort in planning. The templates smoothly incorporate milestones to track deadlines and phases.
The task dependency system is very convenient as it allows for the establishment of tasks that are dependent on the completion of others that are to be started.
• Monitoring: Record hours spent on each task and use the file manager to allow all team members to share the project documents.
Keep track of allowances, accommodation, and travel expenses that are incurred during the execution.
Recording the time spent and expenses incurred allows for the computation of project returns - using Doolphy financial reports.
• Smart Planning Assistant: Allows for one to easily create new projects in an automated fashion.

Q: Binding to instance of ItemsSource I have a ListBox on a WPF User Control that is defined as
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False" Background="#00000000" BorderThickness="0" ItemsSource="{Binding BuyItNowOptions}"
                                           ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource BuyItNowDataTemplate}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
                                           Style="{DynamicResource InheritEmptyListStyle}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedResearch}" ItemContainerStyle="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle}"/>

BuyItNowOptions is a public property on the ViewModel that is of type ObservableCollection
In the BuyItNowDataTemplate I have a label that needs to have some logic performed before displaying a price.
<Label Padding="1" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" Margin="1">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding ExchangePrice, StringFormat=C}"
                        Visibility="{Binding ReturnRequired, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/>
                </Label>

The binding here indicates that it will use the ExchangePrice property of the instance of AutoResearchProxy that it is on like BuyItNowOptions[CurrentIndex].ExchangePrice.
What I would like to know is it possible to create the binding in such a way that it references the whole instance of the AutoResearchProxy so that I can pass it to a converter and manipulate several properties of the AutoResearchProxy and return a calculated price?
I would envision my converter looking like this.
public class PriceConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter,        System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
  if (value is AutoResearchProxy)
  {
    var research = value as AutoResearchProxy;
    //Some logic to figure out actual price

  }
  else
    return String.Empty;
}

Hopefully this makes sense.

A: MyProperty="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ObjectToDerivedValueConverter}
That should do it.

A: You can pass the whole datacontext-object to a Binding by not specifying a Path or by setting it to ., that however will result in the binding not updating if any of the relevant properties of that object change.
I would recommend you use a MultiBinding instead, that way you can target the necessary properties and the binding will update if any of those change. (For usage examples see the respective section on MSDN)

United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon denies Israel claim that Hezbollah is using environmental group as guise to set up observation stations along Israel-Lebanon border.
The UN peacekeeping force on Lebanon's border with Israel has not seen any violations of the UN-brokered cease-fire that ended a war with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in 2006, as Israel claims, the UN said Friday.
Israel filed a complaint Tuesday with the UN Security Council accusing Hezbollah of setting up observation outposts along the border on land purportedly used by an environmental advocacy group called Green Without Borders.
"UNIFIL has not observed any unauthorized armed persons at the location or found any basis to report a violation of the (cease-fire) resolution," she said.
The Israeli military on Thursday released photos and video of what it said were the Hezbollah observation posts. One video showed a pair of uniformed men climbing onto a watchtower on spots Israel says are used by Green Without Borders.
The 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war ended in a stalemate.
Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shiite group, has since built up an arsenal that is now believed to include well over 100,000 missiles and rockets aimed at Israel. In recent years, it has suffered heavy losses backing up the forces of President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war.

After a divorce, it is common for an individual to go back to their maiden name or take the last name of the person they are remarrying. In Illinois, anyone who has undergone a divorce has the freedom to change their name whenever they would like.
Does the child's other parent approve of the last name change?
Is the child okay with changing their last name?
What type of relationship does the child have with their other parent and family members? For example, does the child have a poor relationship with the father whose last name they currently have?
Co-parenting with a narcissist is a real challenge. If you have children with a narcissist you divorced, know that there are ways you can make co-parenting a bit easier. Here are some tips that can help you put your child's needs first and make the best of this difficult situation.
It's essential to accept the fact that narcissists rarely change. Therefore, you should not expect your co-parent to suddenly become empathetic or be content with not having emotional control. By having realistic expectations, you won't be as disappointed when your ex-spouse creates drama and stress.
It can be difficult to adjust to a new life after a divorce. While you are adjusting, be sure to make time for your children. Their needs should be your top priority so even if you are busy, taking them out for ice cream, reading a bedtime story, or helping with homework can make your children feel cared for and loved.

I am able to display 10 & 15 in excel but adding part is not working. Please help me with this.

A: In XSLT, variables are immutable, and cannot be changed. This means your code to increment sum does not work as you expect
<xsl:variable name="sum" select="'0'" />
<xsl:for-each select="plm:PLMXML/plm:ProductView/plm:Occurrence/plm:UserData/plm:UserValue[@title='bl_quantity']">
    <xsl:variable name="a" select="@value" />
    <xsl:variable name="sum" select="$sum + $a" />
</xsl:for-each>

In fact, this may even be considered an error in XSLT 1.0, because according to the W3C specification "It is an error if a binding established by an xsl:variable or xsl:param element within a template shadows another binding established by an xsl:variable or xsl:param element also within the template". (It is not an error in XSLT 2.0, but the second sum is local to the xsl:for-each only, and different to the first sum. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#scope-of-variables)
Anyway, to solve this, you should be using the sum function. Instead of doing
<xsl:value-of select="$sum"/>

Gloucester Car Boot and Flea Market is moving to Wales
Organiser Bob Newby says it will be even bigger and better than before
Janet HughesSenior Digital Reporter
Gloucester Car Boot and Flea Market has found a new home - in Wales.
Owner Bob Newby says he has just signed a deal with Chepstow Racecourse to hold the event there from the end of August and it will be even bigger and better than before.
The racecourse itself is in a stunning location at Piercefield Park in the Wye Valley and around 50 minutes from Gloucester along the A48.
But despite just being within a mile of the border it means saying Goodbye to Gloucester and Shwmae to Wales.
The popular outdoor market lost its previous site at Hempsted Meadows where it had been for six years when it became a Covid testing centre.
For the past seven weeks the Sunday car boot sale has been operating from a temporary site at the cattle market in Ross-on-Wye and the Wednesday flea market has been held at Folly Farm near Coleford in the Forest of Dean.
The website said this would continue until the stallholders could return to Hemsted Meadows. But on Friday Mr Newby told GloucestershireLive he would be moving just over the Welsh border at the end of August.
He said "We moved to Ross-on-Wye and Folly Farm on a temporary basis and have just agreed to move to Chepstow Racecourse from August 30.
"They had a market there until around seven years ago and nobody understood why it fizzled out so the directors are very keen for us to come. They have been really supportive.
"The beauty of it for us is that it is a four acre site and I think the location means we will get people travelling from Gloucestershire, south Wales and even Bristol now that the bridge fees have gone."

Finding a new home is the latest development in a saga stretching back to March when the popular outdoor market was shut down due to fears for public health in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Original attempts to move to Gloucester All Blues Rugby Club and Linton Fields in Quedgeley floundered and Mr Newby was stopped from returning to Hempsted Meadows as it was Covid-19 testing centre.
Mr Newby says the decision nearly bankrupted many market traders who did not benefit from any of the Chancellors Covid schemes.

He said: "We have signed a five year deal so we are committed to Chepstow but as soon as we find another site in Gloucester we will go back.
"I am a Gloucester man but the council have turned down two sites already so we need to find another one."
Mr Newby said everything has been fine since he returned to the sites at Netherton Road in Ross-on-Wye and Folly Farm six or seven weeks ago but the Chepstow market will be bigger. He has brought in a long list of public safety measures' to make the car boot safe for the general public including social distancing, free masks and gloves and temperature checks on entry.

He said: I have been pleasantly surprised by how well everybody has behaved.
"I am the first to admit that sometimes people at car boots are so keen to get a bargain they can be a little unruly, leaning over people and grabbing things from the boot.
"But at the moment everybody is very restrained I have seen queues of 30 or 40 people waiting patiently for the people before them to go."
Mr Newby said the deal was agreed yesterday, Thursday, as the racecourse, which opened on August 6, 1926 celebrated its birthday.
Racing is currently going on behind closed doors and GloucestershireLive has contacted Chepstow Racecourse for comment.

Diversity and excellence explored at Institute summit
Faculty and students offered multiple perspectives on race and gender

MIT Chancellor Eric Grimson takes a look back at the history of race and gender at the Institute.
MIT faculty members Lotte Bailyn, Edmund Bertschinger and Wesley Harris examined the intersection of diversity and excellence.
Alyce Johnson, manager of staff diversity and inclusion at MIT, was among many staff members who attended the summit.
MIT students Eric Boyer, Alex Evans, Laura Lopez, and Sophie Ni shared experiences of race and gender perceptions in a panel discussion.
In 2010, faculty from all five MIT schools released an assessment of diversity in the Institute's faculty. The report of the Initiative on Faculty Race and Diversity, issued through the Office of the Provost, found that while recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority faculty had vastly improved in recent years, the "climate" around race and inclusion — the day-to-day experience of minority groups within MIT's culture — is "distinctly and sometimes painfully different from that of their majority peers." In particular, the report revealed a tension at MIT between diversity and excellence: a belief, whether right or wrong, that by seeking to make its faculty more diverse, MIT sacrifices its core value of academic excellence.
Last week, faculty, students and staff gathered to examine this underlying tension during the 2012 Institute Diversity Summit. During the daylong event, participants and audience members gathered in MIT's 10-250 lecture hall for panel discussions and breakout sessions on race, gender and cultural awareness.
President Susan Hockfield launched the summit with a video address, affirming how far MIT has come since its homogenous roots.
"For a century or more, the Institute was chiefly composed of white men from New England," Hockfield noted. "That is not, of course, the MIT that courses through the Infinite Corridor today."
Hockfield observed that as MIT grew in scope, it also grew in its diversity and its achievements: "I'm convinced that those trend lines have risen together for a reason. … In the complex society that we serve, our diversity is essential to our excellence."
MIT's makeup has changed significantly in recent decades, both in gender and race. Today, 45 percent of undergraduates are women, compared with 15 percent in 1975. Among faculty, 21 percent are women, compared with 8 percent in 1980. Underrepresented minorities (URMs) make up one-quarter of the undergraduate body, compared with 10 percent in 1987. And 7 percent of today's faculty are URMs — up from 3 percent in 1987.
Chancellor Eric Grimson sees today's campus as a very different environment than the one he entered in 1975. As the campus grew more diverse, Grimson said, he observed a "change in atmosphere" as more women and minority groups added new perspectives to discussions in MIT's labs, classrooms and hallways.
"We need to appreciate how a different mode of thought brings value to a problem," Grimson said. "Excellence is enhanced precisely because no one viewpoint is best."
While the numbers clearly show an increasingly diverse faculty and student population, Lotte Bailyn, the T. Wilson (1953) Professor of Management Emerita, cited a missed opportunity to make the MIT environment equally supportive of all groups. Bailyn helped draft the 2010 report on diversity, and said the Initiative on Faculty Race and Diversity found that while 39 percent of MIT faculty agreed that ethnic diversity was important to excellence, this percentage was mainly made up of minority faculty and women. These same groups said they did not enjoy the same climate or opportunities as white men at the Institute.
During the summit, Wesley Harris, a professor of aeronautics and astronautics and MIT's associate provost for faculty equity, spoke of his personal challenges growing up in the segregated South. Harris attended elementary school in Virginia, never receiving brand-new textbooks. He and his classmates used books handed down from white schools, he said, with "the word, the big word, the 'N' word" written in the margins by white students who knew where the textbooks were headed.
Harris was raised with the mentality that "good" was never enough. "In the segregated South, you always had to be so strong — you could always stand alone, and be better and stronger than the opposition," Harris said.
Harris recommended a scientific approach to evaluating diversity's role in academic excellence. For example, he suggested tallying the number of patents, papers, startups and leadership roles held by a given group, and comparing the output against other groups as an "honest assessment."
Outside the comfort zone
In addition to faculty viewpoints, the diversity summit showcased student voices. Graduate students Alex Evans and Sophie Ni spoke on a panel with postdoc Laura Lopez and undergraduate Eric Boyer '13 on diversity within the student body.
"I think MIT is a very diverse place with a lot of different groups," Boyer said. "But I don't think the groups actually interact."
Boyer said the lack of interaction partly stems from the heavy course load for freshmen. Because incoming students are stressed about labs and exams, they may not want to break out of their "comfort zone" to get to know other groups and cultures — opting instead to spend time with people of a similar background.
Boyer said MIT should consider requiring a freshman seminar entailing interaction with students from different cultures, "before they're cemented into their major and only hang out with their one group of friends. … [Otherwise] that's what happens at MIT because of the stress level."
In the summit's keynote address, Evelynn Hammonds SM '80, dean of Harvard College and a professor of the history of science and of African and African American studies at Harvard University, spoke of the history of racial diversity in science and engineering. She noted that while there have been "fits and starts" in encouraging diversity in the sciences, there are no coordinated, well-directed programs in many ethnic communities to cultivate aspirations in science and engineering. Hammonds pressed for a long-term commitment to the issue of diversity in science, and identified a need for more mentoring programs to motivate students who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
"I'm not talking about diversity for diversity's sake," Hammonds said. "I'm talking about diversity for the search for the best possible talent throughout this community and ultimately throughout the country. It's about the search for talent, and about not leaving talented people behind for social reasons."
The Institute Diversity Summit was co-sponsored by the Committee on Race and Diversity and the Council on Staff Diversity and Inclusion.

Contests and academic competitions


Seven Upper School student-athletes received All-Inter-Ac League honors for their outstanding play during the 2018-19 winter season.
On Feb 20-22, 24 members of the Baldwin DECA Club competed at the PA State DECA conference in Hershey, PA. More than 2,400 students from across Pennsylvania attended.
Athletics celebrated the winter varsity and junior varsity teams, presented newly elected co-captains, announced Most Valuable Player winners and distributed split B letters and pins on February 19 in the Residence Assembly Room.
Varsity swimmer Anya Mostek '22 and diver Megan Cooper '21 set new school records at the Easterns Swimming and Diving Championships held February 15-16 at Franklin and Marshall College and Germantown Academy.


John Wain was born in 1925 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. He attended St John's College, Oxford, earning a BA in 1946 and an MA in 1950. A prolific author and man of letters, Wain wrote poetry, novels, criticism, and biographies during a writing career that spanned more than forty years.
He started out teaching at the University of Reading, but in 1953 left to pursue writing full-time. Wain's first novel, Hurry on Down (1953; published in the United States as Born in Captivity) was a bestseller and launched Wain's career as a novelist. The book ran into several hardcover printings and was often reprinted as a Penguin paperback; it is credited with paving the way for later British classics of the 1950s, including Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim (1954) and John Braine's Room at the Top (1957). Wain followed his first novel with a number of other novels and short story collections, including Living in the Present (1955), The Contenders (1958), A Travelling Woman (1959), Strike the Father Dead (1962), The Young Visitors (1965), Nuncle, and Other Stories (1965), and Death of the Hind Legs and Other Stories (1966). A number of contemporary critics felt some of these works represented a falling-off from Wain's successful debut novel, but his next novel, The Smaller Sky (1967), was well received, and is arguably Wain's masterpiece. The Smaller Sky (forthcoming in a new edition from Valancourt Books) tells the story of a man overwhelmed by the stresses of his life, who seeks refuge beneath the 'smaller sky' of Paddington rail station. Among his later fiction, A Winter in the Hills (1970) and Young Shoulders (1982) were particularly well regarded; the latter novel won the Whitbread Award.
In 1973, Wain was appointed the first Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, and the following year his biography of Samuel Johnson won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. His services to literature were recognized in 1984 when he was awarded a CBE. In the late 1980s, he began his 'Oxford Trilogy' with Where the Rivers Meet (1988), and the final volume, Hungry Generations, was published shortly after his death in 1994.

Creativity contest
Seed Olomouc > Activities > Research
Research conducted within this SEED project comprises altogether five sub-projects
1) Aspects of the never-ending translation wars in South Korea
Andreas Schirmer
Translation has always occupied a major role in Korea's often-painful process of modernization. In this context, frequent "translation wars" stand out, especially when the zealous debates on mistranslations are not only battled out within the narrow confines of professional circles but also captivate the general public, as occasionally happens.
The fact that public discourse about the quality and reliability of translations is much more common in Korea than anywhere in the West constitutes a phenomenon that appears very telling about Korean society and mindsets in many ways. The cultural anthropological significance of this specific issue in Korean public discourse was, however, never considered a matter deserving academic attention in and of itself.
Public denunciation of translation mistakes is sometimes not only aimed at the immediate culprits but also at very basic mental attitudes, the implicit suggestion or explicit insinuation being that Korean audiences lack self-assurance and tend to meekly accept dubious passages because they are conditioned to suspect themselves of being simply too stupid to understand.
The ongoing research project consists in the first place of a typology and description of examples taken from ongoing translation wars in Korea, starting with those either encyclopedic or idiosyncratic books that always present vast collections of detected mistakes; this is complemented by an analysis of the reactions these books triggered — as most of them received a lot of media coverage — and the various, often multifaceted debates that ensued. Translation wars conducted in newspapers and online fora shall also be covered. The exploration shall extend further to some meta-discourses that search for possible reasons for the very existence of these discourses (i.e., the ongoing translation wars). For example, one regularly recurring motif of the talk on mistranslations is the supposed disgrace and disadvantage occasioned when Koreans are left with imperfect renderings of insights easily gleaned by others in the rest of the world who read, if not the originals, at least perfectly faithful translations.
Aspects of the never-ending translation wars in South Korea
Conference paper for the BK21 Plus Conference of the Society for Development of Future Scholars of Korean Language and Literature, Korea University, Seoul, November 3-4, 2018.
2) Negotiating the essence of being Korean in South Korean fiction: Literary contributions to the discourses on Koreanness
Abstract of an article currently a work in progress:
An-na is a simple Korean woman, but when sleeping she could be taken by an outsider as a Chinese, a Japanese, any Southeast Asian, a Mongolian, an American Indian, etc. Such musings when looking at an elderly woman in his neighborhood are mulled over by the protagonist and narrator of one of the most famous examples of South Korea's damunhwa munhak (multicultural literature): Son Hong-kyu's The Muslim Butcher, a novel centered on an orphaned Korean teenager who gets adopted by a former Turkish soldier still stranded in Seoul decades after the Korean War.
Exposing the shameless exploitation of foreign workers and the plight of foreign brides—massive discrimination that looks all the more apalling when contrasted with the immense adoration for white Westerners—damunhwa munhak, a genre that developed during the last two decades, can be understood as an attempt by fiction writers to contribute to a better world by inducing readers to feel empathy. While this aim may be a common denominator of all damunhwa munhak, some of these novels have an additional focus: contesting the infamous danil minjok sinhwa, the "myth of the homogenous nation" by contending that "Everybody is a mixed blood" (The Muslim Butcher).
Koreanness is usually conceived of as either as "DNA", a "software" and a bundle of "codes", or, alternatively, constructed as a set of skills, beliefs, and habits. However, what the struggling protagonists or figures in these novels are haunted by is not any presumed essence of the homo coreanicus but simply outward appearance. A society wrapped up in surfaces, a "republic of plastic surgery" (seonghyeong susul ui gonghwaguk), South Korea proves unforgiving not only for the "underclass" of the unlovely among their compatriots but most of all to those whose appearance marks them as outsiders in the most literal sense: the low-life underclass from abroad.
Dissecting this motive of "appearance" as dominating damunhwa munhak, the proposed paper dwells specifically on examples of resistance to or subversion of ascribed identity, found both in damunhwa munhak and, as a complementing contrast, in novels about individual Koreans resembling foreigners. Fraud, deception, and camouflage are chosen here to construct and take on an identity of one's choosing—or at least one that allows a more decent life. Even in cases that expose such identity construction as mere escapist denial, or as leading to total debacle and disaster, these novels voice a powerful dissent, providing impactful and evocative condensed formulas to make an intervention on public discourse.
3) Order of ideas upside down – the neglected role of sequence in translating from and into Korean
Head or tail? Preserving the original's sequence as an underrated but crucial task for adequate literary translation from and to Korean
When translating Korean into Western languages and vice versa, reshuffling maneuvers that turn the source text's sentences upside down are performed routinely all the time. Translating between distant languages inevitably requires the need for head and tail inversion, shifting the order of the phrase's elements and re-arranging what comes first, next, last — or at least this is the generally accepted truism. Invoked for justification are differences in grammar and the irrefutable fact that rhetorical sensibilities and norms are simply not universal.
What is thus overlooked, however, is the fact that with literary translation, the re-enacting of a carefully crafted sentence is a task that concerns the very essence of narration: sequence. After all, creating a narrative is about consecutive discursive presentation: A story's events are conveyed in the storyteller's calculated, often very arbitrary order. Some information may be relayed in advance while other crucial information may be withheld. Some backgrounds are disclosed early while others are purposefully only revealed at the very end. This basic principle applies not only to the narration as a whole but (and this is what tends to be forgotten) also to its constitutive smaller units — as we can see when a novel's sentences are ingeniously constructed in terms of what is said first and then and last.
The empirical basis for my exploration consists of numerous examples collected over a long period of time. The point of departure is an observation that I could confirm again and again: Korean translations of aphorisms, canned jokes, poems and rhetorically elaborated essays tend to prioritize syntactical, structural fidelity at the expense of a parallel order of ideas. The cognitive surprise-effect of the original punchline is thus squandered for the sake of habitual word order (which should be regarded as the lesser good).
But my main focus is a mirror image or a complementary phenomenon to this first one: Western translations of Korean fiction tend to diminish the role of sequence within a single sentence, thereby sacrificing special effects of suspense and failing, in extreme cases, to convey the chosen narrative strategy. A functional approach would allow the reader to process the given information at a pace that is analogous to that of the original.
The proposed paper argues that sequence deserves more attention as a meaningful layer of speech. Beyond practical consequences for the translation of Korean literature, this insight should also relativize and complement the typological approach that is usually adopted when it comes to the contrasting of Korean with Western languages.
4) IMF crisis mirrored in fiction: Analogies, emblems, symbols and metaphors in Park Min-gyu's collection of short stories Castella
For Martians and other aliens, UFOs, Godzillas and Terry Pratchett's Discworld; a giant squid, the extinct dodo and a laboratory mouse on whose back grows a human ear; Hulk Hogan and a hooligan from the Heysel Stadium disaster turned refrigerator when reborn, etc. — a panopticon of popular culture is offered in Castella, that famed collection of ten short stories by Park Min-gyu. These stories were all first published between 2003 and 2005 and, when released as one volume in 2005, immediately made an enormous impact. The collection has been praised not only for its unique humor but also its bitter, satiric representations of reckless capitalism and the consequences of neoliberalism in Korea.
The freakish characters make up a bizarre imagery and serve as intricate metaphors conveying the — overall accusatory, rather than resigned — message that in the current state of affairs, only superhuman and extraterrestrial powers or some deus ex machina can promise salvation. One might argue that this just follows existing and well-known patterns of escapism while, on a more general level, the pathos of lost cases is (along with the joy of grief) anyway much favored in Korean literature and film. But Park Min-gyu's wealth of imagination is nevertheless unique, and constitutes a case worth revisiting.
If an analogy links an unfamiliar idea with something common, then this author's heavy use of highly unconventional analogies is certainly due to his unfamiliar ideas. As he constantly uses daring, audacious comparisons and inventive similes that render his style very entertaining even on the most microscopic level, the cornucopian opulence of his imagination deserves a close reading and a proper description of how his comparisons work.
But what this paper is rather after are those metaphors that inform and overarch one whole story on a macroscopic level, e.g., the extinct dodo in the story Yakult Lady. In particular, these emblematic animals (depicted, after a drawing by the author himself, on the iconic cover of the book, in the same unchanged longseller edition) are truly inextricable conceptual integrations, disallowing any paraphrasing or alternative wording — which in the end is something that truly befits literature.
5) The puzzle of Japanese students at Korean schools in Japan
Martin Šturdík
A peculiar characteristic of the relations between Japan and the two Korean states is the existence of schools in Japan which are affiliated to North or South Korea. The North Korean schools openly promote an ideology that portrays the host country as an enemy. Schools affiliated to South Korea are not as radical but still promote an identity and cultural awareness different from the host country's majority of schools.
While these schools are occasionally the object of research, little is known about students of these schools who are not ethnic Koreans. The overwhelming majority of students at these schools are ethnic Koreans, which comes to no surprise. But the fact that a small, but nevertheless not insignificant number of ethnically Japanese also attends these Korean schools is a true puzzle. Why would Japanese parents send their children to such a school where the majority is ethnically different and where, most of all, the students are educated in a way that sets them apart from most of their peers? Who are these parents and what are their motivations? How do they view the Japanese state and Japanese media in relation to the two Koreas and Koreans?
The research will be carried out by using qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. In the first place, in-depth interviews with the Japanese parents will be conducted, followed by interviews with directors and teachers of those schools. Interviews with the students shall be done as well, provided that permissions can be obtained. The life course history of the interviewees will be given a close look with the aim to identify the moments in their lives that defined the Japanese parents' attitude to Korea. Several particular categories will be analyzed such as, among others, their view on the contested history.
A foreign (i.e. non-Japanese and non-Korean) researcher will be viewed as impartial and can obtain access to Chongryon, Korean Residents Union in Japan and the various schools. Besides the organizations, there are other routes (personal connections and recommendations) to access the interviewees.

A distinct comment on the practice of painting can be found in Eric Chan's insistence of a silky, superflat surface. Despite the painterly appearance of the images, all of his canvases are level, without a hint of impasto. The only brushstrokes seen are the fine horizontal or vertical strokes that make his blurred effects possible. In an interview with Lee Weng Choy, Eric mentioned that he wanted his work to appear "like box cubes with paint on one surface." This deliberate flatness evokes the glossy quality of magazine pictures. Multiple dimensions of Eric practice, from his process of making the images to the way he paints to keep the balance between the traditional and contemporary. This tension renders his work so very compelling to the viewers eye.

We believe a good story is built on solid research and strategy, embodies inspiration, and delivers specific, tangible results. We're ready to get to know you and help create yours.
