  • The Other Father in Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father
    The Other Father in Barack Obama’s Dreams from my Father Robert Kyriakos Smith and King-Kok Cheung Much has been written about the father mentioned in the title of Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father (1995), the Kenyan namesake who sired and soon abandoned the forty-fourth president of the United States. Also well noted is Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama’s White American mother who has her own biography, entitled A Singular Woman (2011). The collated material concerning this f eeting family of three lends itself to a simple math: Black father + White mother = Barack Obama; or, Africa + America = Barack Obama. But into these equations the present essay will introduce third terms: “ Asian stepfather” and “ Indonesia.” For if Barack Obama’s biography is to be in any way summed up, we must take into account both Lolo Soetoro (Obama’s Indonesian stepfather) and the nation of Lolo’s birth, a country where Obama spent a signif cant portion of his youth. Commentators’ neglect of Lolo, especially, is a missed literary-critical opportunity we take advantage of in the following essay. The fact that the title of Obama’s memoir explicitly references only one father may be seen to compound the oversight, especially since “my father” is a position that the absentee Barack Sr. for the most part, vacates. However, “my father” is also fundamentally a function that several people in Barack Jr.’s life perform. Therefore, in a sense, the Father of Obama’s title is always already multiple, pointing simultaneously to a biological father and to his surrogates.

  • Press Release Official Opening of the Istana Heritage Gallery President
    Press Release Official Opening of the Istana Heritage Gallery President Tony Tan Keng Yam officially opened the Istana Heritage Gallery on Friday, 7 October 2016. Located at the Istana Park along Orchard Road and opposite the Istana, the Istana Heritage Gallery offers visitors the opportunity to understand the history and heritage of the Istana. 2 Gazetted in 1992 as a National Monument along with Sri Temasek (formerly the Colonial Secretary’s house), the Istana mirrors the growth and development of Singapore from a colony to sovereign state. The Gallery explores the role and significance of the Istana, and captures the Istana’s transition from being the Colonial Governor’s House to its current role as the official Residence of the President. It also seeks to provide visitors with a glimpse into the Istana’s rich history through a specially curated range of heritage displays including state artefacts, artwork and state gifts received from foreign dignitaries by our past and present Presidents and Prime Ministers. 3 The state gifts are a highlight of the Gallery as this is the first time they are placed on permanent display for visitors to enjoy. They are lasting testimonies of Singapore’s friendship with other countries. The current display of 18 state gifts includes: A silver cigarette box, which is one of the earliest recorded gifts in the Istana’s collection. This was presented by His Excellency Raja Tun Uda Al-Haj bin Raja Muhammad, Governor of Penang, to Yang di-Pertuan Negara Encik Yusof bin Ishak in 1961; A bronze bust of an Induna, presented to President Ong Teng Cheong by His Excellency Nelson Mandela, President of the Republic of the South Africa, during his first state visit to Singapore in 1997; A pair of silver goblets which bears Singapore’s Coat of Arms and the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II – symbolising the longstanding friendship between these two countries.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Saat ini interior ruang merupakan suatu yang terpenting dalam menunjangnya sebuah bangunan ataupun hunian. Karena sebagai individu , kita membutuhkan tempat berlindung yang nyaman. Bangunan ataupun hunian terdiri dari bangunan pribadi yang berfungsi sebagai rumah, dan bangunan publik yang berfungsi sebagai tempat usaha. Dengan perkembangan zaman , desain interior tidak hanya diperuntukan bagi sebuah hunian, tetapi juga untuk ruang publik seperti restoran, toko, perkantoran, rumah sakit , hingga gedung-gedung pemerintahan. Desain interior mempunyai peranan penting agar tercipta susunan ruang yang baik sesuai dengan fungsi , kebutuhan serta kenyaman tanpa meninggalkan segi estetikanya. 1 Dalam hal ini sebuah gedung pemerintahan pun harus di desain dengan memiliki kenyamanan dan fungsi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan serta memiliki sistem keamanan yang baik . Salah satunya adalah sebuah Istana Kepresidenan yang memiliki peranan penting dalam sebuah pemerintahan dan menjadi sebuah simbol kenegaraan. Di Indonesia telah memliki 6 Istana Negara yang tersebar di beberapa kota,seperti Bogor,Cipanas, Yogyakarta, Bali dan dua diantaranya terdapat di Jakarta,yaitu Istana Merdeka dan Istana Negara dan digunakan sehari-hari oleh Presiden Republik Indonesia. Sedang keempat lainnya difungsikan sebagai tempat peristirahatan ketika Presiden mengunjungi daerah tersebut. Bandung merupakan salah satu kota di Jawa Barat, yang memiliki nilai sejarah bagi bangsa Indonesia. Di sinilah Konfrensi Asia-Afrika diadakan, sehingga banyak sekali tamu Negara yang datang, serta Presiden Republik Indonesia. Dengan kedaan daerah yang baik, serta iklim yang sejuk , maka akan sangat bangga bagi warga Bandung, jika dibangun sebuah Istana Kepresidenan yang berfungsi sebagai tempat peristirahatan dan tempat penerimaan tamu kenegaraan. Sebuah Istana Kepresidenan harus dapat menjadi simbol Negara dan menjadi kebanggan daerah.

Flashback to 2007: the iPhone is a technological miracle, the Black Eyed Peas are topping the charts, and a freshman Senator from Illinois is about to embark on a journey that will define the next century. My name is Carter and I’m thrilled to be your Chair as you all drive a campaign to take America by storm. A bit about myself: I’m a third year in the College at the University of Chicago, studying Political Science (and probably another major or a few minors, as long as I can keep a high GPA for law school)! I originally hail from Louisville, Kentucky (pronounced Loo-a-vul)--home of horse racing, fried chicken, and Muhammad Ali. Outside of coursework, I’m the Vice President of our competitive Model UN Team, and am a Crisis Director for a committee (The Virgin Group, 2020) at ChoMUN, our collegiate Model UN conference. This is my second year at MUNUC--last year I staffed the Cabinet of Uzbekistan, 1991. I also work at UChicago’s Community Programs Accelerator as a consultant for nonprofits on Chicago’s South Side, and spend my limited free time exploring this beautiful city and finding good food.
