From the very first conference session, at 8:15AM on Saturday, April 9, we’re kicking it off with big-picture topics (Henry Braun leading an invited session for the recent NCME volume: Challenges to Measurement in an Era of Accountability) alongside technical advances (Derek Briggs leading off a session on Learning Progressions for Measuring Growth) . The momentum continues through our last session, at 4:05 on Monday, April 11, where we tackle buzz phrases (Thanos Patelis convening a session on Fairness Issues and Validation of Noncognitive Skills) and settle scores (The Great Subscore Debate, with Emily Bo, Howard Wainer, Sandip Sinharay, and many others facing off to surely resolve the issue once and for all) . We are taking full advantage of our location in Washington, DC, with an invited session on the recently passed Every Students Succeeds Act over lunchtime on Monday . Peter Oppenheim and Sarah Bolton, Education Policy Directors (majority and minority, respectively) for the US Senate HELP Committee will discuss key provisions and spark a discussion among researchers about ESSA’s Implications and Opportunities for Measurement Research and Practice . Earlier that Monday morning, Kristen Huff will convene reporters and scholars in a session with the lively title: Hold the Presses! How Measurement Professionals can Speak More Effectively with the Press and the Public . Consistent with our theme, our many sessions highlight both foundations (Isaac Bejar coordinates a session on Item Response Modeling: From Theory to Practice, while Karla Egan convenes a session on Standard Setting: Beyond Process) and frontiers (Tracy Sweet will lead a session on Recent Advances in Social Network Analysis, and Will Lorie takes on Big Data in Education: From Items to Policies) .

  • Xiaoqingxin Film As the Possible Prospect of Taiwan Popular Cinema
    The IAFOR Journal of Asian Studies Volume 2 – Issue 1 – Spring 2016 The Taste of Ice Kacang: Xiaoqingxin Film as the Possible Prospect of Taiwan Popular Cinema Panpan Yang Abstract Although Xiaoqingxin Film has been widely recognized as a new sub-genre in Chinese- language film circle, it rarely received sustained academic attention in either Chinese or English publications. In this article, I would explore the contours of Xiaoqingxin Film in four aspects: (1) a tentative definition; (2) a style analysis; (3) a cause analysis: why Taiwan has overwhelming superiority in making this sub-genre; (4) a unique distribution mode. To provide a style analysis of Xiaoqingxin Film, I will not only observe its script, sound and cinematography, but also look into its genre bending. To conduct a media capital analysis of Xiaoqingxin Film, I would borrow the concept of “media capital” from Michael Curtin and pay particular attention to the fact that co-productions between Taiwan and Mainland China are popping up as Taiwan has relaxed trade embargoes with Mainland China. As shown by the successive box-office hits, the pan-Asian commercial success of Xiaoqingxin Film is not a one- hit wonder. Rather, in this sub-genre, I believe, lies the possible prospect of Taiwan popular cinema. Key Words: Xiaoqingxin, genre, media capital, Taiwan cinema, J-style photography, Pan- Asian Cinema 74 The IAFOR Journal of Asian Studies Volume 2 – Issue 1 – Spring 2016 Introduction: A Fresh Wind on Taiwan Screens Much has been said about the long-standing sickness of Taiwan’s popular cinema. For instance, Yueh-yu Yeh (2006) wrote in a pessimistic tone, “There was a popular Taiwan cinema until 1994” (165).

Clinging to our egos and biases, we engage in endless conflicts and arguments. Things are impermanent, but we cling to permanence. There is no permanent "self," yet we cling to our sense of self. When desires arise, we commit evil actions. We worry over gains and losses, cling to and fight over all things, and thus become entangled by afflictions. When our selfishness dominates, the world is filled with calamities. When we go from being selfish to selfless, we will not be tarnished by conflicts or be bothered by petty things; we will abide in the truth and be in harmony with principles. When we let go of our limited self and realize our greater self, we will remain pure and undefiled and develop selfless great love. We will relieve the suffering of sentient beings and eliminate all afflictions. When we work for the greater self, the world will be filled with peace and harmony.

Malatesha Joshi Laurie Q. Dixon Committee Members, Lauren Cifuentes Janet Hammer Head of Department, Dennie Smith May 2010 Major Subject: Curriculum and Instruction iii ABSTRACT Cross-Language Transfer of Reading Ability: Evidence from Taiwanese Ninth-Grade Adolescents. (May 2010) Hui-Kai Chuang, B.S., Chinese Culture University; M.B.A., Western Kentucky University; M.A., Western Kentucky University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. R. Malatesha Joshi Dr. Laurie Q. Dixon The influence of reading ability on cross-language transfer in Mandarin-speaking ninth graders was explored. Each participant’s native language (L1-Mandarin Chinese) and second language (L2-English) were assessed. Although the relationship between L1 and L2 reading ability has been discussed in many previous studies, few studies have examined this relationship among L2 readers whose L1 is sharply different from their L2, who are at the junior-high-school age range, and who are learning English in a setting where English is not used in daily communication (e.g., English as a foreign language).

  • Perfectly Willing
    Perfectly Willing Buddhism in Every Step H10 Venerable Master Hsing Yun © 2018 Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center All rights reserved. Written by Venerable Master Hsing Yun Translated by Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center Edited and proofread by Scott Sandell and Leann Moore Cover and book layout by Xiaoyang Zhang Table of Contents Perfectly Willing to Be a Monk 2 Perfectly Willing to Spread the Dharma 6 Perfectly Willing to Cultivate the Buddhist Community 15 Perfectly Willing I respect Mancheng,1 my Dharma brother, for his endurance, his non-contention, his big-hearted speech, and his open mind, and hence, I have kept his saying firmly in mind: “Perfectly willing.” Master Zhikai had two disciples, Mancheng and myself. Prior to studying with Master Zhikai, Mancheng had followed a different master. This caused him often to remark that he was only half a disciple to Master Zhikai. Mancheng had experienced a harder time in his youth than I had. Honest and not too smart, he was often bullied and wronged. Like a daughter-in-law in old China, he had to do extra work 1 All Chinese names in this text are Romanized by the Pinyin system except for a few that are established in Wade-Giles. 1 and always took extra blame. Sometimes, seeing that he had taken too many reproaches, I would go and try to console him. Somehow, he would always say calmly, “That’s all right. I’m perfectly willing to do what I do.” Perfectly Willing to Be a Monk During the ten years of my Buddhist study and discipline, I was also subjected to many ruthless reproaches and unreasonable requests.
