On Letter Writing - Red Ants Pants | Workwear for Women. Made in the USA.
A friend recently wrote me a letter, typed on an actual typewriter. These days when we text way more often than write, this felt like a treasure. He mentioned that he gave his 9-year-old daughter a typewriter of her own for Christmas. He told her, "There, now you can text all you want." Best parenting ever. Thanks JF.
I used to write letters all the time. They are such a joy to write, to receive and to keep as a record of our lives. I would write from my tent on trail crews, from farms in Belize, from aspen stands in the Rockies. I wrote to old college buddies, Outward Bound instructors, and occasional fellas on whom I had crushes.
More recently, my letters are from mentors, festival fans, and even the late and great Ivan Doig. Talk about a keepsake. And yes, I framed that one.
It certainly takes time and a shift of priorities to sit down and write a letter. Something about knowing that the writer touched the paper with ink and penmanship brings a connectedness that is unsurpassed by most means of communication.
For me, putting pen to paper unlocks a part of myself that allows me to process, reflect, and record. It is an attempt to understand where I am in my own life. Although, I'll admit I do often write through a rose-colored lens.
In the late 1990's, my father was going through his parents' attic cleaning out the farm house. He came upon a trunk that contained piles and piles of letters written between my great, great, great, great grandparents, their children, and extended family. All 831 letters were bundled by ribbon and bits of string, organized chronologically. It was an incredible primary documentation of life in New England between 1820-1879. Dad spent over 13 years reading, interpreting, and transcribing these letters. To be fair, his typing skills involve a lot of 'hunt and peck,' but he succeeded and even had it bound into a book. What a gift.
So, here's to more letter writing, more letter receiving, and more life recording.
More honesty about what we actually feel, not what we are supposed to feel.
More catching up with friends and family, old and new.
More penmanship, and even more typewriters.
I write real hnest to goodness letters, send postcards with short notes and practice my long forgotten cursive writing. I also wrote two letters of condolences just recently. My friend who received a four page newsy letter wrote an email back saying when she got it she thought oh no, here must be bad news if it is handwritten. It wasn't, it was just a long letter. Another friend got a postcard and was so touched to get real mail he called me to talk. So it doesn't follow that you will receive a handwritten reply, but still, it really does the job of cheering someone up.
I love the idea of writing more letters! I used to do it more often before the advent of email. I think I may take it up again. When I was a little girl living there, I had a great aunt who used to write letters to me. She addressed them: "Dear Bow-Tye." When I was 18, I decided to change my first name to "Tye." I didn't do it legally, so my first name legally remains, "Tyrrell." Most of my friends in Montana still call me "Tyrrell." I moved to Seattle in 1969 and everyone there knows me as "Tye." I still answer to both!
I tend not to write letters because I'm embarrassed about my penpanship. Cursive is awful, so I print . Anyway, I'm going to print a letter to my daughter in college . Thanks for the inspiration .
I write letters all the time, typed then handwritten 2-6 pages long. I will have 7 close pen pals we've been writing for over 40 years. When my mum was alive overseas we used to write each week so did my USA mother in law, she died last year at 96 & guess what I have 46 years of letters she saved every one of them. I now write to our five children every 2 weeks. I still enjoy getting a letter in mail.
How interesting to uncover family letters from 200 years ago….! And to have them preserved and so organized…wonderful!
My son and his partner and their 10 month old son were recently visiting from Maine. The night before they left I was regretting that my new grandson will probably grow up with no memories of me. My son suggested I write him a letter to him about myself, my life, any my hopes for him, to be opened on some future birthday. We all talked about what a gift that would be.
They left for Fairbanks and then home the next day. That night I finished a book I had been reading about the Eastern Front in WW2. I looked on my bookshelves for the sequel volume, which I had bought years ago but never read. When I opened it there was a note from my father (who died in 1995) thanking me for lending it to him!
I hand write letters on a fairly regular basis. I can remember getting a letter from my Dad when I was a freshman in college. I was scared to death when I took it out of my mail box. I "knew" the only reason he would ever send a letter is that because Mom (the family letter writer) was seriously ill or worse, dead. (Yes, there were phones and I probably would have got a call, but in the moment this is what I thought.) Dad wrote just a few paragraphs and enclosed a $5 bill. I treasure it almost 50 years later.
For years, I've sent a postcard to my friend Lacey wherever I go – even if it's a day trip to Helena or White Sulphur Springs.
I like writing because it gives me time to think and find just the right words.
How cool that your dad found and shared those letters. I have all the letters between my mother and her parents from 1940-1970. Great family history. I love sending postcards and have several post card buddies.
I should but I don't hand write letters. No one wants to see that… My penmanship reverted from horrific cursive to undersized, almost undecipherable chicken scratch printing when I was in high school. If I am required to scrawl with a pen or pencil, I hold the tool with a death grip that turns my fingers white up past my second knuckle. I also make so many mistakes when writing, I need to be able to edit with more ease than handwriting allows. I am sure there are also gritted teeth associated with the process. But that aside… I was totally blown away by the letter you posted that was written both ways across the page. It has never ever occurred to me that that could be a possibility? Very impressive and I would expect the same from you in any future correspondence.
I see some cool RAP stationery in your near future…Aint nothin', and I mean NOTHING, beats receiving a hand-written letter (especially unexpectedly) in the 'ole mailbox. And there is nothing more valuable, in these our days of fast times, than taking a moment or a while in your favorite contemplative spot (as you so nicely described, Sarah) to actually reflect our memories onto paper. And I really do think it helps us hone our true sentiments much more artfully than through a Tweet, a text or even email. Perhaps it's that it's much more tactile to use pencil and paper and therefore does something different (better?) with our brains. On that note, (haha), I'll be sending you one! Thank you for writing and sharing your reflections!

Q: How to read a whole XML node My XML file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:element name="foo">
<xsl:value-of select="bar"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm using XML:LibXML::Reader and trying to perform logic on each node when certain criteria are meet. For example:
<xsl:element name="foo">

output:
<xsl:element name="foobar">

Here is what I currently have:
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML::Reader;

my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new(location => "test.xml") or die "cannot read input file\n";

while ($reader->read){
    processNode($reader);
}

sub processNode{
    my $reader = shift;
    printf "%s\n", ($reader->name);
}

My output looks like this:
xsl:stylesheet
#text
xsl:element
#text
xsl:value-of
#text
xsl:element
#text
xsl:stylesheet

A: Ok, the problem here is - you're essentially misunderstanding the tree nature of XML. You've got a bunch of nodes - that 'you're "walking"' but actually the xsl:stylesheet node is a parent of the xsl:element node.
By far the easiest way is to not do it the way you are, and instead:
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;

my $reader = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => "test.xml") or die "cannot read input file\n";
print $reader -> toString

But I'm pretty sure your requirement is something slightly more complicated.
Edit: And sure enough, it was.
So - change every 'foo' name to a 'foobar' name:
 #!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;

my $reader = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => "test.xml") or die "cannot read input file\n";
my $xpath_context = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new($reader);

foreach my $foo_node ( $xpath_context -> findnodes('//xsl:element[@name="foo"]') ) {
  $foo_node -> setAttribute ( 'name', 'foobar' );
}

print $reader -> toString

Virtual Desktop. Has anybody heard of it?
Has anyone heard of this new innovation/services? Or is it really new in the first place?
Hosted Virtual Desktop is an ideal solution if you want to eliminate internal IT management teams as the hosting provider will take care of the hardware/software update, backup recovery etc. This will provide greater IT flexibility and enable anyone to access the desktop and applications and data on it anywhere and from any device.
Cloud Desktop Online has been providing its solution and services for more than 10 years now and the subscription plans starts from $25/month.
CloudDesktopOnline has a trial version and provides 24X7 support.
Hi, nope! Sorry, its kinda new to me that's why I went ahead and researched about it immediately online. Anyway, I've read something like a desktop as a service. It is in connection with improving data security and primarily something that would be reliable for any desktop problems. But, I'm not sure about it. However, I see that there are a recommendations listed. I advise that you tried researching it too and read some reviews or either contact them directly to know more.
Virtual Desktop can mean multiple things, but I typically interpret it to be running your software/processing on a server not your local machine. It is not new, though there probably are new companies offering services.
Think about it, if you are familiar, as the computer programs available at universities. Students can access multiple programs remotely/off-campus by logging into an account. To do it yourself, I believe it can be expensive - but it may be more cost friendly for small business to pay for the services. The companies would just need to be comfortable running their data on a server that is not their own.

FBR collects Rs1.8tr in 4 months
BusinessLatest
FBR.
Revenues collected by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in the first four months of the current fiscal year was Rs1,841 billion (US$1 billion).
As preliminary figures issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) show, tax collections for the period July-October (2021-22) exceeded the anticipated target of Rs1,608 billion by a stunning Rs233 billion.
Compared to the previous year's Rs1,347bn, tax collections increased by 36.6% over this time frame.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs440 billion in October of this year, compared to Rs337 billion in the same month last year, according to the latest available data.
For the first four months of this fiscal year, the Federal Board of Revenue issued refunds to the tune of Rs91 billion, compared to Rs66 billion in the same period last year, according to the FBR.
Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, commended the Federal Board of Revenue on Oct. 30 for exceeding its target of Rs 1,840 billion in tax collections for fiscal year 2018, which lasted from July to October this year.
I want to congratulate FBR for achieving tax collection of Rs 1,840bn for July/Oct, which is 37% higher than last year. Tax in October has surpassed its monthly target set. It is all due to a robust economic performance.
Contrary to propaganda, Income Tax also grew by 32% YoY

This presentation will demonstrate an online Chinese course being developed at Carnegie Mellon University as a LearnLab course for the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (PSLC). The LearnLab course aims to leverage web technologies to provide effective learning experiences for students and to gather rich data on student learning that will enable in vivo research studies of the learning process. Results of the research enabled by the course are expected to inform improvements to the online learning experience provided by the course, resulting in a continuous cycle of improvement that will empower online language learning. In addition to the demonstration, the presenters will also discuss the technologies utilized and the challenges of integrating diverse goals and knowledge domains in the project.
Do language learners process data differently if they are provided with a CALL application that matches their learning styles? In order to investigate this issue, an empirical study with 140 Japanese university students was conducted. After being judged on their learning styles through questionnaires, the participants were assigned either learning-style matched computerized materials or unmatched materials for English vocabulary learning. Based on the computer log files that were stored while the participants were learning vocabulary, the effect of computerized material adjustments according to learners learning styles on learners behavior will be examined.
Synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) and pragmatic instruction in the foreign language classroom have the combined potential to enhance L2 Interlanguage pragmatic (ILP) development at various competency levels. This study combines pragmatic instructional theory with current SCMC research to provide guidelines for utilizing SCMC in the classroom for ILP acquisition. The unique combination of these areas offers the possibility to overcome many of the obstacles to ILP instruction by allowing for individual preferences, varied roles, lessened pragmatic pressure, and limited requirement of instructor intervention. Five guidelines for the use of SCMC in ILP development as well as sample activities are given.
This research describes how EventStream, computer software that employs features for creation of experiments, setup, data storage, data replay, export, and analysis, can facilitate experiments in language comprehension. An experiment was performed to show an example of how this software can help language researchers. The focus of the study was the analysis of the participants comprehension strategy, where the strategy was defined as all the eye movements and operations involved from reading the text to answering the questions. The software is also able to record other aspects of the users activity and synchronize all of the data streams.
Tutorial Interaction Online or Face-to-face–Much of a Muchness?
For students studying languages at a distance, synchronous audio or video conferencing via the Internet is so far the most promising way of offering genuine interaction, that is, to communicate in real time, synchronously, with other speakers of the target language (Hampel & Hauck 2004). However, can online tutorials offer interactivity equally beneficial to student learning as could the old face-to-face variety? To answer this question a sample of face-to-face and online tutorials for the same German course at the Open University (UK) was recorded and then examined using OSR N6 and Social Network Analysis.
The employment of techniques from artificial intelligence in CALL–often described as Intelligent CALL (ICALL)–has opened up new avenues for empirical research. The improvement and consolidation of artificial intelligence techniques such as natural language understanding and generation as well as student profiling and modeling provide innovative approaches to the development of language-learning software. At the same time, ICALL applications provide applied linguists with information rich data about learners, learning processes, and learning outcomes. We will identify current developments and results in ICALL and discuss their impact on CALL and its empirical studies.
This paper reports on our analysis of a commercially available learner corpus (The International Corpus of Learner English) which sought robust, quantitative evidence for ESL learners grammatical development as shown in past SLA research. We describe the methodology we used to (a) segment the corpus into proficiency levels using demographic information in the corpus and quantitative analysis of the text, (b) obtain external criterion measures of level, (c) identify key indicators of development that have been found on SLA research, and (d) statistically test for robust predictors of level.
This presentation reports on a study investigating the use of two help options (a lecture transcript and target language subtitles) in a multimedia listening unit containing a video of an academic lecture. While working on the unit, ESL learners in an academic listening class were offered help options in cases of comprehension breakdowns, and their interactions were tracked using a screen capturing program. This presentation will add to the understanding of help options in CALL materials by describing students navigational patterns, comparing the use of two help options, and pointing out differences between learners at two proficiency levels.
This presentation demonstrates the use of student-produced photo documentaries in the foreign language curriculum and describes the pedagogical benefits that can be derived from their exploitation. Photo documentaries combine still images, titling, audio narrations, background music, and visual effects into a video clip. Using freely available Windows programs, they are very easy to produce and can be undertaken either as individual or small group projects. They lend themselves well to a wide range of innovative applications at all levels of linguistic competence: family albums, advertisements, real or imagined trips, study-abroad stays, biographies of famous people, historical/cultural presentations, creative story-telling, and so forth.
This study explored the effects of networked computers in L2 learning by comparing synchronous online discussions with face-to-face discussions. Given the limited database in computer-mediated communication and the contradictory results of previous research, this study investigated the linguistic and interactional characteristics of real-time electronic communication and how the written output of electronic communication resembles or differs from the spoken output of traditional face-to-face discussions. The 20 subjects of this study were randomly paired for two types of discussions (electronic and face to face), and then the data were compared in terms of linguistic amount, syntactic complexity, grammatical accuracy, and interactional features.
In an attempt to provide more authentic and autonomous instruction of less commonly taught languages Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS), Polish, and Russian text taggers (http://www.asusilc.net/cgi-bin/newtepajgu.pl) are being developed as a part of the project titled Learner-centered Task-based Language Instruction (http://www.asusilc.net/lctli) The taggers allow the user to paste in a text, copied from an online newspaper or acquired in another manner, and have it tagged with English glosses and equipped with the option of displaying the inflection of each word form in the text. The present paper summarizes achievements of this project, identifies its major problem areas, and outlines its envisaged development hence.
Online Language Learning: Where is Your Content?
Two of the main reasons why interactive online language courseware lacks momentum compared to CMC are (a) the complexity of online software development and (b) the specificity of content authoring. Content authoring for online systems is a rather discouraging experience due to a series of alienating factors. In this presentation we will explain how we tackle these challenges by working on an Entreposage Universel (EU) level. This EU data structure will be illustrated with examples of finished and ongoing projects. A surprising and pleasant effect is that the EU data structuring leads to a considerable reduction of specification time in language courseware design.
"Phonetics: the Sounds of Spoken Language" is a collaborative project developed at The University of Iowa. The project uses a Flash-driven website to deliver animated libraries of the phonetic sounds of American English, German, and Spanish. Our demonstration provides an overview of the website, gives technical information and requirements, and uses the German part of the website to demonstrate how students who learn German may use the animated articulatory diagram, step-by-step descriptions, and video-audio of sounds spoken in context to develop an understanding of German phonetics.
The pedagogical effectiveness of referencing tools in assisting language learning has attracted quite a lot of attention. The aim of this study is to investigate 22 learners preferences and look-up strategies of using three web-based referencing tools: a bilingual dictionary, a bilingual concordancer, and a collocation retrieval program while doing writing and translation tasks. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed. Qualitative data included two think-aloud sections of six learners; quantitative data contained records of an online tracker, an evaluation questionnaire, and pretest/posttest writing of the 22 learners. Results and implications will be presented in the conference.
The aim of this study was to investigate how advanced adult ESL learners dealt with unknown words when divided into groups to argue for or against controversial topics derived from assigned readings. Results of the study suggest that different participants had different degrees of word command regarding vocabulary used for arguments during task engagement. They employed various word appropriation strategies when trying to come to a better understanding of unknown words in postings as well as to compose their replies with immediate needs to express the concepts of those unknown words.
The paper looks at the issue of pronunciation in a learner-autonomy-based learning context, often a neglected issue. First, I will look at the importance of pronunciation within learner autonomy. Second, I will review existing concepts and tools that have been used in pronunciation teaching and evaluate them in terms of learner autonomy. Third, I will report on the concepts and tools that we developed for the pronunciation workshops and individual learners in our evening courses. Fourth, I will provide an outlook how pronunciation development could be evaluated and whether pronunciation work at this level can have any long-term effect.
The Distance Learning Division at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center is launching pilot sustainment classes over broadband for service men and women stationed in isolated or remote locations. This presentation will discuss the initial process and outcome of supporting participant instructors as they are oriented to e-tools and protocols, refresh applications of task-based instruction (TBI), experience various tasks online as ESL learners, review/critique/design sample tasks, extend reading/listening online tutorial with communicative/collaborative tasks, and then incorporate/adapt TBI into their existing curricula. Empirical evidence and challenges for developing faculty as well as implementing TBI in the virtual classroom will be presented and discussed.
At the University of Alberta we have undertaken a study to compare students and instructors attitudes towards CALL materials used in the Japanese program. We will report on the results of a survey which examines whether instructors have a good grasp of the students' perception and usage patterns of CALL and how instructors' attitudes towards CALL affect their students' performances. By comparing students in first- and third-year courses, we will describe how students attitudes towards CALL change as they proceed with their studies. We will also discuss possible gaps between students and instructors perception of CALL materials.
The presenters will demonstrate Moodle, a free open-source software platform based on the social constructivist model of pedagogy. This course management software contains a number of different features which enable communication between individuals and groups and also allows for nearly any format commonly used in teaching (lesson, quiz, essay, each with multiple subformats). The presenters will show how users can use Moodle's wiki function and briefly discuss free wiki software for other systems. These online spaces are great resources for collaborative projects in language courses. The presenters will show specific examples of projects using Wikis.
The golden silence of Internet instruction is awakening to online voice communications that extend communicative teaching beyond the classroom context to enable students to learn a language by actually speaking it. This presentation will demonstrate how LARC is integrating archived digital resources that provide the learning situation with online voice communication tools and techniques to engage students in communicative activities that involve the use of language in real-life situations. Discussion includes online collaboration/language learning via real-time voice conferencing and archived voice threads using a triptych toolset of Blackboard, Horizon Wimba, and LARC's Digital Media Archive.
In the Winter semester of 2006 a case study was conducted at a large midwestern university to investigate the functions, role, and impact of iPods equipped with microphones in a technology-enabled Spanish classroom. Findings indicate a number of functions that may be promising for language learning; however, the role and impact of these devices may not be as great as the interest they have been receiving of late. Findings based on interview, observational, and artifact data will be presented along with implications for practice and research.
This presentation reports on a pilot project utilizing desktop videoconferencing (DVC) to foster face-to-face oral interaction delivered to 18 college Spanish students. The aim of the project was to examine the effectiveness of one-to-one DVC from a constructivist approach. Eighteen students worked collaboratively with native speakers to complete two task-based activities. Data from video recordings, course surveys, participant reflections, and final oral interviews were employed to justify the findings. Findings relate to the issues of task design, linguistic variation and skills, verbal and nonverbal communication features, and scaffolding feedback. This presentation concludes with suggestions for future research and pedagogical implications.
An especially difficult aspect of French to master is the distinction between the past tenses because, in most contexts, either tense could be used but with differences in meaning; moreover, that difference is one of aspect, which is coded differently in English than in French. Using dynamic images rather than static images would render the distinction clearer to L2 learners of French. I will present the preliminary results of a study in which students were taught the distinction with the use of movie trailers, discussing the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest results of one control and one experimental group.
The myriad variations for language course delivery today (from face-to-face to hybrid to fully online) has created challenges for language departments (in terms of common text, delivery of instruction, and teacher training), for instructors (in learning how to use and integrate the program resources and determining how and when to assign them), and for students (in keeping track of the various program components). The design scheme for the Nexos Media Edition, an integrated multiple media introductory Spanish program, resolves these departmental, instructor and student challenges by providing a suite of options designed around a book-like interface with embedded multimedia components.
As computer technologies continue to expand, current and future foreign language educators must learn to effectively integrate technology with instructional practices and activities. This responsibility necessitates a thorough and realistic understanding of the various functions, uses, strengths, and limitations of technology. Teacher education programs are a logical starting place for educators to gain requisite knowledge and skills. Accordingly, the purposes of this presentation are: (a) to highlight and explain some of the expanding roles and affordances of technology in a collegiate foreign language education program and (b) to encourage continued research and development of instructional technology in teacher education programs.
The maze is a fun, computer-delivered, visually presented task in which the participant is shown two words at a time, only one of which can, when added to the words preceding it, continue a grammatical sentence. Given its status half-way between a reception and a production task, the maze can focus participants on any specific grammatical structure or vocabulary set that the programmer chooses. Two experiments are discussed. One used the maze task as a learning activity on 120 Spanish FL learners. The other employed the maze as one half of a pre- and posttest with 200 EFL students working online.
We will discuss and demonstrate how RunTime Revolution to which we were introduced at a CALICO conference permitted us to create an improved and expanded dual platform software program. Through contracting with RunTime, we were able to resurrect years of work creating videos and student lessons for French. Activated by the RunTime DreamCard Player, we have been able to continue our projects, which were becoming obsolete with the phasing out of OX9, on Québec theater and documentary film, Maghrebian literature, student programs in French as well as an experimental program with a Northwest native American language, Halq'eméylem.
Students in our online course need to learn from each other without interacting with instructors. Students study at times and places of their choosing. We developed non-real-time, nonsimultaneous virtual meeting places where students can interact using voice or text. Our web-based voicemail center allows students to leave each other simulated telephone messages and to verify messages were correctly received. Our shared folder allows students to exchange business letters. In both voice and text, students are forced to interact because they must reply to incoming messages. However, whereas instructor-led courses can recover when teamwork breaks down, online courses cannot.
Foreign language teachers use of DVDs, purchased abroad, has become increasingly difficult through restrictions imposed by the motion pictures industry on DVDs, DVD-playing equipment and software. In addition, the law has imposed restrictions that negatively affect the fair use of digital media for educational purposes. In this session, I will describe some common problems experienced by language teachers when using DVDs purchased abroad, explain these restrictions, and present tools that are available to overcome them, in particular, those that make it possible to play and backup educational DVDs from other regions in DVD players and computers purchased in North America.
In this talk, the presenter will outline her own research findings in relation to using free Internet telephoning to foster learners' speaking skills, particularly their accuracy and fluency at the discourse level. Moreover, pros and cons of using these free Internet telephoning tools in teaching speaking skills and pronunciation will be discussed. Furthermore, issues that need to be taken into consideration while using these technological tools with specific learner groups will be explored.
As an avid Moodle user and developer, this presenter was keen on seeing Moodle implemented as the school-wide system for my university of 12,000 students. This presentation will chronicle the journey, placing particular emphasis on those aspects of a university-wide implementation that had unexpected consequences. The discussion will include problems with authentication, user account names, personal profile data, course registration and creation, student access, and instructor training.
Traditional writing in the second language classroom has taken the form of essays and sometimes real-paper diaries. Many times the students were/are left to write to an unknown audience. New technologies added the use of collaboration tools for writing and communication such as bulletin boards, chat rooms, and so on. A new possibility arose with the blog sites–online diaries where the writers audience is obviously wider. Our students are technology savvy. A lot of them had immediately begun to create their own blogs in their native language. Why not use the blogs for our foreign language classrooms?
This presentation focuses on our experiences in conducting Adobe Audition training in house to more than 180 multilanguage faculty members. Creative uses of audio exemplifying learner-centered, skill-integrated instruction will be demonstrated. Attendees will receive a handout of all techniques presented.
This demonstration of an innovative electronic method for responding to student writing features both visual and verbal feedback. Participants will learn how to provide feedback using audio-enhanced screen capture video. Results of a pilot study will be presented.
Arabic Without Walls (AWW) is a distance-learning project designed to bring elementary Arabic to University of California campuses that do not offer Arabic. One of the three main sections of AWW presents cultural-linguistic materials following a content-based methodology supported by a variety of other strategies. This thematically organized section contextualizes Arabic for the distant learners and raises their awareness of selected cultural aspects of the Arab world, past and present. This section acknowledges the college language learners intellectual needs and addresses them from various perspectives. This paper will present some of the strategies used to address the challenges of designing content-based materials for a nonroman script language that shares few cognates with European languages, on the one hand, and a culture that is often subject to media-nurtured misconceptions, on the other.
In the Hawaiian language, 'wiki' means 'quick.' WikiWikiWeb, as originally created by Ward Cunningham in the mid 1990s, is thus a fast and easy way of collaboratively creating a website (see for example Wikipedia). Starting from an activity theoretical perspective on language learning and learner autonomy, this paper proposes some principles for the integration of WikiWikiWeb and associated technologies in language-learning environments. These principles are illustrated through examples drawn from French courses delivered to Irish university students and supported by Moodle, an open source virtual learning environment. In particular, the collective construction of electronic artifacts such as wikis is discussed with respect to its potential for language use and language learning.
In this talk, we will report on an ongoing research which looks into lexical competency from an L2 production angle and whose ultimate goal is to propose pedagogical tools for enhancing it. In an FL2 learner written corpus (50,000 words), we have investigated errors resulting from insufficient knowledge of semantic properties of lexical units. Our analysis has revealed diverse lexical errors types and an overall high density of lexical errors, indicative of a rather low level of lexical competency of supposedly intermediate-advanced learners. To remedy this problem, we intend to develop an electronic lexicographic tool based on meaning-text linguistic theory (Melcuk, 1997).
Imagine what languages would be like without standards. Web pages, like languages, have syntax, grammar, and rules called "web standards." This session provides a pragmatic look at current web standards, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium. Accessibility and Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, which requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities, will be addressed, as well as benefits of web standards designs using XHTML and CSS, including better rankings with search engines, easier website maintenance and re-design, compatibility with new technologies, and faster websites that are less expensive to host.
This presentation captures and recapitulates the efforts made by the Defense Language Institute to use technology combined with face-to-face training to provide a prompt response to the need for predeployment culture training. The Familiarization Program is a joint effort between two program managers as well as numerous web developers, content developers, teachers, and administrators which resulted in a successful program used by thousands. The flexibility of design allows training coordinators to efficiently respond to time constraints imposed on deployed units.
This presentation will provide an overview of the project to deactivate Texas State University's current customized version of Blackboard by migrating users to a Sakai based environment. The Sakai Project is a community source software development effort to design, build, and deploy a new collaboration and learning environment (CLE) for higher education. This presentation will also show how this customized version of the Sakai software, called TRACS (Teaching, Research and Collaboration System), is implemented in a regular French course and a hybrid Italian course( taught in class and online). We will show how Sakai is used to enhance foreign language teaching, learning, and testing to meet student academic and professional needs. This presentation will therefore focus on the user's view, as well as the administrator's view of the system, making this an outsider's and insider's gaze onto Sakai and one of the pilot group professors that uses Sakai in her language courses.
When two student teachers at Kent State University were unable to attend a weekly seminar class with peers due to time and distance constraints, necessity called for the exploration of alternative formats. Various applications of computer mediated-communication forums were implemented as a way to develop a virtual forum for the distance student to receive the same support, guidance, and sense of community enjoyed by the other students. Data from student interviews and virtual communication demonstrate that these applications were effective in creating a sense of community and bonding outside the classroom.
Can Learner Training Lead to Increased Gloss Use?
While recent studies have found that viewing glosses with multimedia annotations can help students learn and retain vocabulary words (Chun & Plass, 1996; Al-Seghayer, 2001), O'Bryan (2005) found that when providing pictorial glosses for select words within an online reading unit, few students took advantage of the clickable gloss function allowed by the medium, a finding that mirrors a number of research studies (see Hegelheimer, 1998; Hegelheimer & Tower, 2004). In an attempt to combat this discovery, this study investigates whether training learners to use CALL effectively following Hubbard's (2004) five-step approach leads to increased gloss use.
Via Franel (www.wtv.be/franel) we want to stimulate the inhabitants of the border area Flanders-Wallonia-France to learn each others language and culture. After all, this free electronic language learning environment is based on reportages from three regional TV channels which present the neighbor's region. Communication without borders is our baseline. The most important trump cards of Franel include (a) the integration of authentic broadcast materials (streaming video with adapted Franel-player), (b) the thematic structure in modules and units, constructed along a uniform global didactic scenario (listening comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, speech acts, etc.), (c) multiple access facilities to the different materials, (d) an intuitive interface and the animated text balloon Franel, and (e) half-open language activities, intelligent feedback and tracking & logging (via Idioma-tic and Cognistreamer). Franel is intended for the general public, regular education and the business world. In less than three weeks time Franel has reached more than 2500 individually registered users.
This presentation demonstrates how available technology at the Defense Language Institute (DLI) can be applied, matching classroom activities with out-of-class assignments online. The languages represented include Arabic, Korean, Kurdish, Russian, and Spanish. Specific strategies will be provided for transferring and adapting technological materials from the classroom environment to the web environment, emphasizing the importance of flexibility on the part of the teacher. Sample lessons will be offered for teaching aspects of grammar, listening, reading, culture, and games that exemplify principles of teaching for proficiency in the communicative task-based classroom.
The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) is the federal government's primary training institution for officers and support personnel of the US foreign affairs community. Since 1999, FSI has designed and developed over 70 distance learning courses, including language courses and tools. This presentation focuses on a collaborative model for instructional and technical design of Arabic-based language-learning tools.
FLORE (French Learning Object Repository for Education) is an online collection of French resources specifically designed to be used by the French community of educators and learners. This demonstration will take you into an exploratory journey of this new web portal to show you the major components of the system design and explain how the description and peer reviewing of the resources can be integrated into the context of courses and research by students. This presentation will also help answer the following fundamental question: how can Learning Object Repositories be used effectively for language learning and teaching?

More district and regional councils are poised to fence out genetically modified organisms (GMOs) following a recent Environment Court decision.
The court upheld the right of Bay of Plenty Regional Council to take a precautionary approach to the growing of genetically modified crops in its region.
The ruling came as submissions closed on a similar proposal being considered by Hawke's Bay Regional Council.
Further north, mediation is due to start on the Northland Regional Council's policy statement on GMOs, which also aims to enable councils to take a precautionary approach over the planting of such crops.
The council, iwi, and groups including GE Free New Zealand are squaring off against Federated Farmers in the mediation.
Federated Farmers is disputing the need for council regulations to include precautionary regulations on GMOs when there are already regulations in central government legislation through the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act.
A section of that act requires consenting authorities to practice caution in managing adverse effects of technology where uncertainty exists.
However, groups including GE Free NZ have challenged the robustness of the HSNO precautionary approach. It has called for councils to drive greater robustness into the process through their regional or district plans.
Northland horticulturalist and GE Free spokeswoman Linda Grammer said that in 2003 Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ), councils and other groups had sought greater enforcement regulations around GMOs.
She said her group was particularly perturbed by the run of GMO breaches that have occurred following those approvals, including the brassica breach at Lincoln in late 2008 and the one involving GM fungi last year, also at Lincoln.
Grammer said the Feds were running counter to a strong desire of ratepayers for districts to have greater control over what organisms could be released in their districts.
"The Auckland super city wants tighter controls and it is in that council's unitary plan. In many cases they are legacy zones that were there before the super city was formed.
"Nelson city is also under ratepayer pressure to turn a symbolic GE-free zone into something more legislated.
Despite accusations by GE Free NZ the Feds were pro-GMO, president Bruce Wills has stressed his concern was over a doubling up of legislation.
"We do already have an Environmental Protection Authority, which has a large number of scientific experts," he said.
Wills questioned the ability of regional or district councils to police any GMO-free status determined under local legislation.
He said the Feds' concerns focused on the layering of legislation, rather than being pro or anti-GMO.
LGNZ president Lawrence Yule said his Hastings District Council wanted to pass the legislation on GMOs to preserve its Pure Hawke's Bay brand.
"This consists of a group of growers at both a corporate and artisan level who have decided we want to be able to claim to be the food basket of Australasia and no one has challenged us so far on that.
Yule, who is Hastings District Council mayor, said the regional council was still to come on board with the GMO legislation.
Prospects for GMO species like grasses was low in the next 10 years and there was little downside in the move to preserve the GE-free status, he said.


The biggest mistake CEOs make is waiting too long to make changes with their executive team. They'll use all sorts of excuses like, "I need more time to see what this guy can really do." Or, "She's probably having a hard time to getting used to working for a new leader." All the while, they know deep inside these people need to go.
Not making a decision is in itself making a decision. You run the risk of having these non-decisions come back to haunt you. You also gain the reputation of not being all that different than the CEO you just replaced. Your followers begin to lose respect and before long, you're operating from a point of weakness, rather than strength.
No doubt many of you struggle with similar situations. My CEO clients, whom I advise, do so as well. The difference is they have a trusted advisor they can speak with, to help them quickly work through issues like these. If you're interested in having one as well, reach out to me and we can start the conversation.

Pictured: The Theological Library with stucco decoration and paintings from 1720s.
In 1670 Jeroným Hirnheim, a philosopher and theologist became the abbot of Strahov. His greatest work, which has survived to the present days, was the building of the new library, the present Theological Hall completed in 1679. During the 17th and the early 18th century other abbots continued in the reconstruction of the monastery. They also cared for the church, which was repaired and decorated several times during the given period. The monastery experienced other great building activity namely after the assault of French and Bavarian troops in 1742, when it was bombarded. After this destruction of the monastery the abbot organized building works again in the course of which the church was rebuilt along with the monastery area.

Ernest Kavanagh (1884 – 25 April 1916) was a Dublin born cartoonist who contributed to a number of political publications in the early part of the 20th century.

Biography

Kavanagh's cartoons were published using his initials E.K. He provided cartoons for The Irish Worker newspaper of James Larkin's  Irish Transport and General Workers' Union.  He produced cartoons published alongside poems by his sister the writer and poet Maeve Cavanagh McDowell.

As well as supporting the working class his cartoons attacked the recruitment drive for World War One and supported the suffragette movement. He contributed cartoons to the suffragette paper, The Irish Citizen, Fianna and Irish Freedom. A non-combatant, he was struck and killed by a bullet during the Easter Rising, on 25 April 1916.

A book on his cartoons, Artist of the Revolution. The Cartoons of Ernest Kavanagh,  was published in 2012.

Orations and Speeches [1845-1850], Zväzok 1
Od autorov: Charles Sumner
trained in knowledge and in virtue ; but they cannot be compelled into this path. This consideration teaches candor and charity towards all who do not yet see the truth as we do. It admonishes us also, while keeping our eyes steadfast on the good which we seek to secure, to moderate our expectations, and to be content to see the day of triumph postponed.
It is this essential condition of the Law of Progress, that serves to reconcile movement with stability, and to preserve order even in change ; as in nature all projectile forces are checked and regulated by the law of inertia, and the centrifugal motion of the planets is restrained by the attraction of gravitation. In this principle of moderation, honestly pursued, from motives of justice and benevolence, and promising " the wellripened fruits of wise delay," we may find a proper Conservatism, which, though it may not always satisfy our judgment, can never fail to secure our respect.
But there is another Conservatism - and in the treatment of the subject it becomes necessary for me to exhibit it - of a widely different character, which performs no good office, and cannot secure our respect. Child of indifference, of ignorance, of prejudice, of selfishness, it seeks to maintain things precisely as they are, deprecates every change, and in disregard of the transitory condition of all that proceeds from the hands of man, blindly prays for the perpetuity of existing institutions. In its influences it is productive of disorder, rather than of order, and, indeed, is destructive rather than justly conservative. In violation of the Law of Progress, it plants itself upon the ancient ways, and vainly exalts all that has been done by our ancestors
as beyond addition and above amendment. It is well illustrated in the early verses:
Some ther be that do defye
All that is newe,
and ever do
crye
The old is beller, a waye with the newe
Because it is false and the old is true.
And again, in the conversation between two eminent English ecclesiastics; " Brother of Winchester," said Cranmer to Lord Chancellor Gardyner, "you like not any thing new unless you be yourself the author of it." " Your Grace wrongeth me," replied the destructive Conservative, "I have never been author yet of any one new thing, for which I thank
God."
Such a conservatism is the bigotry of science, of literature, of jurisprudence, of religion, of politics. An example will best exhibit its character.
When Sir Samuel Romilly proposed to abolish the punishment of death for stealing a pocket-handkerchief, the Commons of England consulted certain officials of the law, who assured the House, that such an innovation would endanger the whole criminal law of the land ! And when this illustrious reformer and model lawyer (for all men in the history of the English law Romilly is most truly the model lawyer) afterwards proposed to abolish the obscene punishment for high treason, requiring the offender to be drawn and quartered, and his bowels to be thrown into his face, while his body yet palpitated with life, the Attorney-general of the day, in opposing this humane amendment, asked, " Are the safeguards, the ancient landmarks, the bulwarks of the
* Campbell's Lives of the Chancellors, Vol. II. cap. 40, p. 51.
Constitution to be thus hastily removed ?" Which gave occasion for the appropriate exclamation in reply, 66 What! to throw the bowels of an offender into his face, one of the safeguards of the British Constitution ! I ought to confess that until this night I was wholly ignorant of this bulwark !"* An irrational enormity, which finds a fit parallel only in our own country – where slavery is sometimes called 66 divine institution," and important to the stability of our Constitution !
Esto perpetua was the dying conservative ejaculation of Paul Sarpi, of Venice, over the constitution of that atrocious republic; and this same phrase has been since applied by Sir William Blackstone to the British Constitution, enfolding so many inequalities, and so many abuses. It were well
- and all must agree in this — to exclaim of Truth, of Justice, of Peace, of Freedom, may it be perpetual! But is it not irrational to claim this for any institutions of human device, and, of course, finite? How can they hope to provide for the Infinite Future! The finite cannot measure itself with the Infinite. Nothing from Man's hands - por laws nor constitutions can be perpetual. It is God alone who builds for eternity. His laws are everlasting
It is this pernicious prejudice, which has been the fruitful parent of the persecution and neglect, that has been the lot of too many of the discoverers of truth. Among the ancient Greeks, they who first assigned the natural causes of thunder and storms, while the ears of
* Essays of Basil Montagu, p. 69.
men were still unaccustomed to such explanations, were condemned by the conservative savages of that day for impiety to the gods. In the eighth century, an ignorant, conservative Pope persecuted a priest, who declared that the world was round. And at a later day, to the everlasting scandal of mankind, the book of Copernicus, unfolding the true system of the universe, was condemned, as heretical and false, by a conservative Papal bull; and Galileo, after announcing the annual and diurnal motions of the earth, was sentenced to the dungeons of the conservative Inquisition. This was in Italy; but in England - and here we come nearer home - Harvey was accustomed to say, that after the publication of his book on the circulation of the blood of the great epochs of modern discovery — " he fell mightily in his practice, and it was believed by the vulgar that he was crack-brained, and all the physicians were against his opinion." * And on another occasion, he is reported to have declared that no persons older than forty, at the time of his discovery, received it as true. In short, the age of forty was a dividing line of life - a Mason and Dixon's line ! - determining the capacity to receive that truth. Surely this little story may well admonish all who have passed that conservative line to be careful how they are inhospitable to any new truth.
This same undue tenacity of existing things, and repugnance to what is new, has thrown impediments successively in the way of the great improvements by which travel and intercourse among men have been promoted. It might be supposed that stage-coaches,
* Aubrey's Letters and Lives, Vol. II. p. 383.
when first introduced into England, would have been welcome, though novel, as an undoubted aid to the comfort of men. But this was not universally the case. An early writer calls for their suppression, breaking forth against them in this wise : " These coaches," he says, " are one of the greatest mischiefs that hath happened of late years to the kingdom - mischievous to the public, destructive to trade, and prejudicial to lanąs. First, by destroying the breed of good horses, the strength of the nation, and making men careless of attaining to good horsemanship, a thing so useful and commendable in a gentleman; for, hereby, they become weary and listless when they ride a few miles, and unwilling to get on horseback, not able to endure frost, snow, or rain, or to lodge in the fields; and what reason, save only their using themselves so tenderly, and then riding in these stage-coaches, can be given for this their inability ? Secondly, by hindering the breed of watermen, who are the nursery for seamen, and they the bulwark of the kingdom ; for if these coaches were down, watermen, as formerly, would have work, and be encouraged to take apprentices, whereby their number would every year greatly increase. Thirdly, by lessening of his majesty's revenues; now four or five travel in a coach together, without any servants, and it is they that occasion the consumption of beer and ale on the roads, and all innkeepers do declare, that they sell not half the drink, nor pay the king half the excise they did before these coaches set up.
Such was the conservative bill of

First Fairy Door at Michigan Appears in CSE
Fairy doors have been sighted around town for a number of years, with the fairies apparently choosing iconic Ann Arbor landmarks in which to site their homes.
Fairies have for the first time ventured onto campus and have taken up residence in the Bob and Betty Beyster Building, home of the Computer Science and Engineering Division.
The fairies have made their home inside a computer stationed on the building's main floor. Their dwelling is complete with doors, windows (OK, not *that* Windows), and lights.
Fairy doors have been sighted around town for a number of years, with the fairies apparently choosing iconic Ann Arbor landmarks in which to site their homes. The first appeared in the baseboards of the 100+ year old home of Jonathan and Kathleen Wright in 1993. On April 7, 2005 the first was seen in public on the exterior of Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea. Just a few other fairy doors have gradually appeared at bookstores and shops downtown.
"We are thrilled that the fairies have chosen to come and live with us here at CSE," said Prof. Rada Mihalcea. She and her daughter, Zara, have been enchanted by the city's fairy doors and were delighted to be the first, along with research fellow Carmen Banea, to discover the fairies at CSE. "I am hoping that they will find this to be a warm and welcoming environment. Who knows – perhaps the fairies will be encouraged to think of building more of their houses in other buildings here on campus. Wouldn't that be great?"

Project Jenny, Project Jan Get Serious
By Mike Hogan
Jeremy Haines and Sammy Rubin of Project Jenny, Project Jan.
Last year, I happened to be in Philadelphia for the Popped music festival when I found myself in the presence of something increasingly rare on the indie-rock scene: fun!
Project Jenny, Project Jan are two Brooklyn dudes from upstate New York who, until now, have been known (if you can call them known) for transcending their own silliness. I defy you keep a straight face while listening to "Chinatown Bus"—"It is almost as enjoyable as driving in your ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-car!"—but the song is also weirdly compelling as a postcard from the world of dirt-poor students and artists who actually spend $10 to take Fung Wah buses up and down the northeast corridor.
Be that as it may, Jeremy Haines (vocals) and Sammy Rubin (decks/keys) are ready to ease up on the pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-punchlines. "The old sound is definitely jokey," Haines says. "So some people didn't take it as serious. We definitely want to keep the humor in there, because it's fun, but not be as blatant."The first step in this transformation is the April release of the Colors EP, a featuring five collaborations with five different artists, ranging from cutting-edge to obscure: Fujiya & Miyagi, So Percussion, Mixel Pixel, Adam Matta, and Clack Singles Club. I like the one with Fujiya & Miyagi, "Pins & Needles," which is one of those slow-building booty-shakers you like to have ready when it's time for everyone to put down the damn drinks and dance. So what that the only remnant of P.J.P.J.'s goofy eloquence of yore is the line "You've got the gift to give me paristhesia"? That's the technical term for "pins and needles"—get it?!
Project Jenny, Project Jan had a brief cameo in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which must mean something, and they're going to be at South by Southwest this year, together with about six bazillion other groups. But the reason I'm writing about them today is that they're playing tomorrow night at Santos Party House, in downtown Manhattan. That should be cool, but don't take my word for it:
"If they want to have a night of all-night dancing—one of those crazy nights—that's going to be the night to do it," Haines said when I asked what our readers can expect. "We go on at 11, which is a nice slot, and then there'll be a crazy dance party after that. So starting at 12, it'll get even wilder. We're just gonna set it all up."
See what I mean? Fun!

Icehouse Australian Tour October/November 2012 Announced
1980s rock outfit Icehouse have just announced their impending Primitive Colours Australian tour, a 13-stop national voyage that kicks off October 10 at Waves in Wollongong. The tour's title derives from Icehouse's two most acclaimed records to date: 1982's Primitive Man and 1987's Man of Colours, the former of which produced the iconic single Great Southern Land.
The Primitive Colours Australian tour will primarily focus on songs from these two records, being that 2012 is the 30th anniversary of Primitive Man, Icehouse sophomore LP, and the 25th anniversary of the band's fifth album Man of Colours. The shows won't be strictly limited to these two albums, however, with Icehouse promising to play the various hits they have amassed since releasing their debut record in 1980.
Icehouse released the following statement about the upcoming national tour:
Getting the band back out touring last year turned out to be a lot of fun and excitement for us all. We've had varied requests to perform again and decided that in this double Anniversary year for two of the most known ICEHOUSE albums, the best way would be to perform a few more songs from both albums. Having done the festivals, wineries and entertainment centres since last October, we also wanted to have the chance to get closer to the audiences so we're playing a variety of venues, ranging from Hamer Hall in Melbourne to a couple of nights in Dee Why (just around the corner from where the band played its early gigs as Flowers) and big pub venues in Brisbane – it's just like the days when we toured 'Primitive Man'!

Condemned Home in Fremont Sells for $1.23 Million
By Cheryl Hurd and Stephen Ellison

A condemned home in Fremont just sold for more than $1 million in the latest logic-defying home sale in what has become a stratospheric Bay Area housing market. Cheryl Hurd reports. (Published Monday, April 16, 2018)
A condemned home in Fremont just sold for more than $1 million in the latest logic-defying home sale in what has become a stratospheric Bay Area housing market.
Fremont is a city with good schools, low crime and clean streets. And it is now becoming as unaffordable as the rest of the Bay Area.

The condemned house sits on dirt in Fremont's Mission district, and the structure itself is not worth anything. The property sold for $1.23 million.

Larry Gallegos listed the home in January for $1 million. In one week, he received five offers before closing the sale.
"We're getting people coming from across the bay saying we can buy this house for a million one, we can pay two hundred thousand over, that's a good deal for us," Gallegos said. "I advertise cash only because a lender, most lenders, would have a problem giving a loan on a property that needs to be torn down."

The buying frenzy seems to be the new normal in the Bay Area, mainly because the buyers outnumber the amount of homes out there. Buyers are flocking to Fremont because of the schools.
But the market is hot all over Silicon Valley.
Drug-Busting Coast Guard Cutter Returns Home to Alameda
Just last week, a burned out home in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood went on the market for $800,000, and the realtor has six offers in hand, all well over asking price.
"Nobody can tell the future; nobody can tell if the market is going to drop," said Carmela Morena, who just sold her home for $1.2 million, a $1 million profit she finds unbelievable. "It's crazy, it's absurd. I don't see how people can do it."

Update: Gong Myung Confirmed To Star In New Webtoon-Based Drama Series
by J. Lee
Updated October 5 KST:
Gong Myung will be appearing in KBS's upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama "Happy If You Died" (working title)!
As the previous article states, he will play Kang Jun Ho, the handsome and quirky chief of the marketing department.
KBS2's new drama is based on a webtoon of the same name and is about "evil boss" Baek Jin Sang (played by Kang Ji Hwan) and outspoken assistant manager Lee Luda (played by Baek Jin Hee), who tries to transform him into a better person.
Previously, Kang Ji Hwan, Baek Jin Hee, Park Sol Mi, Ryu Hyun Kyung, In Gyo Jin, Lee Byung Joon, Kim Min Jae, Jo Han Chul, and Seo Jeong Yeon were confirmed for the drama as well.
A source from the drama department revealed that Gong Myung is in talks for KBS's upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama "Happy If You Died" (working title). Baek Jin Hee and Kang Ji Hwan are also in talks.
It has been a year since Gong Myung was in a drama. His last drama series was "Revolutionary Love." He is currently working on JTBC's drama special "The Essence Of Happiness" (working title).
Gong Myung will play the role of Kang Jun Ho, the chief of the marketing department. All the women in the company look at him in awe when he walks down the hallway. He perfectly fits the phrase "Your body figure completes your fashion." However, he is a handsome but quirky character. When the manager tries to pass an undesirable business trip to the staff, Kang Jun Ho suggests doing a lottery (including the manager) to pick the one who will go. No one dares to say anything to him because he is the nephew of the CEO.
"Happy If You Died" is an office drama that tells the story of an evil manager and an assistant manager who tries to change him by leaping through time. It is based on the popular webtoon by the same name. It will portray the real lives of workers in Korea and refresh viewers by punching through the suffocating reality. The drama will be directed by Lee Eun Jin, who previously worked on "Hope For Dating." "Trot Lovers," "Sassy Go Go," and "Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho." It is slated to air in late October.
Check out one of Gong Myung's most famous works, "Bride Of The Water God" on Viki!
