HKLNA-Project Announcement
June 2007

Best Wishes from the HKLNA-Project in
Seattle, Washington

There is more than one way to skin a cat

TOP NEWS - As it is fairly clear that the HKLNA-Project will not return to Hong Kong, EARTH will soon close its doors after nearly five years of operation. EARTH has served the Project well by providing the Project with a legal presence within the Hong Kong community.

SLIDESHOW - With the sudden change in circumstances the HKLNA-Project will have to be realized differently than originally planned. To this end a new section entitled Section IC - Competitive Systems and Education has been added to the Slideshow series. This section examines the nature of examination competition under elite systems of education and is intended to make the Project more accessible to international audiences.

TECHNICAL UPGRADES - During this transition period the acquisition of ActionScript 2 has been accelerated. This trend can be expected to continue.

TSONG KIT for Chinese Language Beginners (website) - Although the Tsong Kit project continues to enjoy high visibility on the internet and could easily be continued, without further incentive the future of this project remains in doubt with the upcoming closing of EARTH's doors. As of yet no decision has been reached.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - Special thanks to Apple® Computer for the best computers available, the best operating system anywhere, and a terrific place to host a website and to Adobe® software for making the internet a visual delight and an attractive place to discover, disseminate, and exchange information.

By the way, if you make use of the HKLNA-Project or Tsong Kit websites, please do not hesitate to say thanks and do not forget to reference the Project in your footnotes and bibliographies. It is the little things in life that make each day worth living.

Sincerely
