Week8 (Politic 2) : I'm Backing My Boy, Kim Jong-il Tells China

Kim Jong-il had appeared in China. He went by train. He went for agreement of relationship between their countries. China was a country that support North Korea. North Korea was a poor country. They were necessary for supporting from other country. China seemed to be happy if Kim Jong-un would be the next leader. Absolutely, North Korea would do like China wanted. Kim Jong-il was expected to retire because he was more over old than to work. He also had a lot of disease that waited for killing him.

In my opinion, North Korea was ever part of China, so China has to help them anyway. Although, North Korea ever made mistake or problem to other countries. I am sure China still give a hand to North Korea. All in all, Blood is thicker than water.

Week8 (Politic 1) : North Korea's Kim Not Seen Heading for Retirement Yet

The meeting of ruling party was postponed to next month. It was biggest meeting in 30 years.

The reason was Kim Jong-il, the leading dictator of North Korea, was sick. The meeting was set for argument the new leader. It was expected that the son of Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un, would delegate (=replace) for his father. Kim Jong-il suspected of suffering a s

troke in 2008. Kim had got leading position when his father died. He hold his position for a long time. Kim was well known from around the world because he consider developing nuclear weapon. In addition, he was always sick.

In my opinion, holding position of Kim Jong family is not good effect in long time. Because, North Koreans will not be evolved enough. They will stick in attitude of this family. They have to follow this family. I absolutely disagree if the person in Kim Jong family get the leading position. To sum up, North Korea equate Kim Jong family.

Week7 (Business 2) : Business with North Korea Carries on Quietly

In general, the country, which makes problem to other country, will be boycott. The North Korea is that country. It seems to be hard to develop in many sides. One of them is business. The North Korea had made 2 big problems. The first one is development nuclear weapon. They said they have right for making the nuclear weapon. However, the whole did not agree with them because it would make violent problems. The other is attacking the South Korean ship to sink. It was the very, very big problem. Until this day, the North Korea refuse evidence that UN identify that the North Korean ship attacked.
Finally, I think they are becoming to be boycott because the evidence is absolutely true. They made lots of soldiers died. It was not worthwhile. They did with indifferent. All in all, they may be punished more than boycott.

Week7 (Business 1) : Foreign investors brave North Korea

Although, the North Korea are spending time for development nuclear weapon. There are still many investors to do business in the country. Mr. Roger Barrett is one of them.
Mr. Barrett, 49, a former troop commander in the British army who has 10 years experience of doing business in the North Korea, recently opened a branch of his consultancy firm, Korea Business Consultants, in Pyongyang. He said there was growing interest in the country after chairman Kim Jong-il introduced economic reforms in 2002. He also said he was not alone. He had a lot of friends who did business like him. He said even in the middle of a nuclear crisis there were foreign investors in the country, and their numbers were increasing. He believed the 2002 economic reform was for real, and the country was gradually moving towards becoming a market economy.
In my opinion, the main cause is mineral coals in their country. There is a main resource. The North Korea can survive because of it. They have a lot of mine. Foreign investors may see this point. It is good for investing.

Week6 (Environment 2) : Environmental Crisis

Deforestation was the main cause of the crisis. The report was written by North Korea's national co-ordinating council for the environment with the UN's Development and Environment Programs. The head of UNEP said Pyongyang had shown its preparedness to work with world community to safeguard nature. The report listed a catalogue of careless and over-utilization of resources. It also said time was short to put things right. The report was produced by officials from 20 government and academic agencies, with training and guidance from the two UN programs. Finally, I think the report said the right thing because of North Korea habits. They always use resource over the reason. They are also cause of global warming. All in all, North Korea are not nature conservator.

Week6 (Environment 1) : North Korea Environmental Pollution

The North Korea was blamed by IOEP, news source of environment pollution. They said The North Korea had serious problem. But, president Yi Chong asserted that we was having big success. It had been completed in this field of environmental protection in the past. Then he said visitors who ever visited to the North Korea could easily confirm that pollution had not reach the levels experienced in other countries. Finally, Conclusion of IOEP was contrast. they said air pollution was moderated by consumers on electricity more than on fossil fuels. It was both used in industry and heating of city residences. Air pollution was limited by restriction on using gasoline-powered vehicles because of lack of oil. The quantity of water pollution was unknown, but it did not seem to be a serious problem in P'yongyang. In my opinion, I think The North Korea still has a thing that maybe good. It is resource. All in all, The North Korea still has something is better than the others.

Week5 (Science & Technology 2) : North Korea is Exporting Nuclear Technology

The North Korea exported nuclear and missile technology to Iran, Syria and Burma. They used front companies to do like this. The North Korea began to be watched by other nations since they announced they could create nuclear weapon. After that, they had testing program in 2006 and 2009. UN tried to make a stand with the North Korea, but they finally failed agreement. Before that, The North Korea ever made a problem. They made a South Korean warship sinking in March. It is cause of 46 soldiers died. However, North Korea still refused allegation. In fact, UN found pieces of missile rocket around the warship. That is evidence. But, North Korea said that is fake. Other countries wanted to make them be terrorist. Finally, they then were boycotted. I think I agree with others because North Korea always makes problems. All in all, North Korea, they make a problem again.

Week5 (Science & Technology 1) : N.Korea Reveals New Battle Tank

Authorities had analyzed video clip that showed a new battle tank on North Korea state TV. The latest news was Pokpung (Storm), It was only a fake news. A South Korean army told the Pokpung appearing was an developed version of the North Korean Army's late model "Chonma" (Flying Horse) in terms of firepower and facile last week. The Pokpung tank is also known as the M-2002, as it is assumed to have been rolled out in 2002. A magazine published by the Defense Ministry said, weapon with a 125mm or 115 mm gun, the Pokpung appears to be really improved version of the former Soviet Union's T-62 tank. It seemed to be more heavily weapon with a 14.5 mm KPV anti-aircraft machine gun, which was more powerful than the 12.7 mm machine gun mounted on older tanks. It also set up with a laser range finder and an infrared searchlight, the tank is assumed to have a higher accuracy as it has a more modern fire control system than earlier models. The magazine said that the Pokpung had been built at the Ryu Kyong-su Tank Factory since it was developed in the 1990s. Finally, The North Korean Army has about 3,900 tanks, much more than the South Korean Army's 2,300, but they are believed to perform much more poorly. I think although the North Korea will have anything else. It still has the old one or come from other country as second hand. All in all, the news is a rumor.

Week4 (Transportation 2) : Mapping Korean Railways Using Google Earth

While North Korea is developing their weapons. First of all, we know they are lonely nation. Even a railway map is close to classified information. Until a doctoral student at George Mason University is using satellite images to get a closer look at a historically secretive country. North Korea is once again in the news because of its growing nuclear threat and the imprisoning of two American journalists. "I am confident I have mapped over 90 percent of the system above ground" Melvis told Wired.com

Finally, I think that student said is true. Because, North Korea is a close country. They may have something that is wrong in their nation. To sum up, North Korea may not be like that I said but we should see them carefully.

Week4 (Transportation 1) : The Main Means of Transportation

In North Korea, there are few motor vehicles for availability so railways are the principal means of transportation.

The basic railway pattern runs in north-south direction, roughly parallel to the coasts, with branch lines to the river valleys. Because of the high mountais, there is only one east-west railway line, between Pyongyang and Wonsan. The west-coast line runs from Kaesong near the South Korean border to Sinuiju on the Chinese border, connecting the major cities. From this main line a branch from Pyongyang southwestward to Nampo connects centres of machine building and foundries. Another lineruns northward from Pyongyang to Manpo on the Yalu River, connecting the western interior to China's northeastern provinces. The major railway on the east coast runs from Wonsan northward to Najin and continues to Namyang on the Chinese border. Several branch lines serve the in land areas and mining centres.

Finally, you can see this country is not prosperity. They still use railways in main transportation. All in all, North Korea's transportation is still stagnant.

Week3 (Education 2) : Education in North Korea

Education in the DPRK is strictly controlled by the government. Children go through one year of kindergarten, four years of primary education, six years of secondary education, and then on to universities. The most famous university is Kim Il-sung University. Other notable university is Kim Chaek University, which focuses on computer science, Pyongyang University of foreign studies, which trains working level diplomats and trade officials, and Kim Hyong Jik University, which trains teachers.

Students in North Korea must attend school for 11 years, beginning at age 5. Students must wear uniforms provided by the government, and many students receive room and board from their government.

Students study music, art, math, the Korean language, and social education. Social education includes studying about the former leader Kim Il Song, and "Communist Morality". In later years they learn about the policies of the communist party. Social education also provides students with a controlled environment in which to learn.

Finally, I think education controlling of North Korea is mad. Because, students will be protected from bad or unplanned influences. Because of communist is not freedom system. All in all, Education of North Korea is failure.

Week3 (Education 1) : North Korea Buying "Million" of XO-1.5 Laptops-One for Every Child

Kim Jong Il has just announced that he is buying XO-1.5 laptops for every child in North Korea from OLPC.

It started with Nicholas Negroponte when they met at Davos World Forum. Negroponte showed Kim Jong Il how to play "I'm so lonely" on Tam Tam and they karaoked until Kim Jong Il agreed to go One Laptop Per North Korean Child with the new XO hardware.

Negroponte was quoted as saying : "I started OLPC to create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children. And I cannot think of children more in need of an XO - these children of North Korea. Now they are going to learn learning, they will be empowered by ICT"

Finally, this sale to North Korea is an amazing boost for OLPC's fading prominence. And then I will give it comment. I think it is a good thing that North Korea did. Because, It is useful for their children and country. All in all, Kim Jong Il did the right thing.

Week2 (Entertainment 2) : The Art of Propaganda

Today I tried to find North Korea entertainment news but it was difficult to search this information. In my opinion, I think North Korea is boycotted by many countries. From this reason, They can not spread their news to the others. I even chose this topic for you. It is about art. This picture is one photo of gallery book. This book was bought from two North Koreans in China near the China-North Korea border in the late 1990s. There are many pictures about daily life event. The main idea of this book is dedication about personality cults of the late Kim Il-sung and his son named Kim Jong-il, who is the current leader of North Korea.

Finally, after I saw all of album, I can see many things such as violent, culture, people ,etc. I can catch the useful point. It is smiling of people. they are happy. Although, They are poor. They are in war situation. They still be happy. It makes me have energy to survive in tomorrow.

All in all, North Korea is not only violent country that others think. It still has good views for watching.

Week2 (Entertainment 1) : Justin Beiber to North Korea?

Shocking news that is Justin Bieber will visit North Korea also in his world tour concert. This is nothing, but yet it depend on Justin Bieber's decision.

All this started when the twitter page of Justin Bieber started a pole asking people to vote for the country Justin should visit in his world tour. Then the dispute started when North Korea was proposed by users of 4Chan website. And it moved from 24th to 1st place in the contest within two days. This contest has ended on July 7.

Finally, This news does not have useful information. Therefore, I just comment it. In my opinion, I completely disagree.

All in all, Every news has good or bad things, so you should carefully think about it.

Week1 (Sport 2) : North Korean football players sent to coal mine after World Cup loss?

Dictator Kim Jong-il was angry after North Korea VS. Portugal football match."After North Korea lost Portugal by 7-0. His leader North Korea is called Kim Jong-il has ordered them to work in coal mines. It's crazy", Reporter said.

Moon Ki-nam, a former North Korea coach who fled the country in 2004, told "The players and coach are rewarded with huge houses when they win. But they have to atone for losing by being sent to work in the coal mines"

However, We can't acknowledge about them. Finally, I Think if it is true. It means they are prisoners. And Kim Jong-il is a devil from people visions around the world.

In conclusion, North Korea football players and coach, they still disappear. I think they are pity.

Week1 (Sport 1) : Korea DPR National Football Team

North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by international association football. They are controlled by the DPR Korea Football Association. In 1966, It is the first participation in a World Cup of DPR. They were an unexpected team. However, they won Italy in the group stage. After that, They reached the quarter-finals. Finally, I think they are a spirited team. They make me don't give up. Although, I has seen many obstacles. All in all, DPR is a team that you should watch.

Marketing

The real meaning of "Marketing" is the process by which companies determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to use in sales. So you can see marketing is the way use for making benefit for your business.

It along with making the brand, appeasing customers, service after selling, promotion ,etc. This many thing I said it is the way to make a good marketing for general business.

To sum up, marketing is important for who has a business. And it will give you income more than who doesn't do about marketing.

The Value Of The Summary Exercise To Each Person.

Newspapers, it has many useful and modern information. So you can be a clever and modern man by reading newspapers.

But, if you exchange information that you have read already. It will be useful more than you read alone. Because some news maybe you can't see it in your newspapers brand.

Absolutely, don't worry about you will be old fashion man. Because newspapers never sleep.

Rock n' Roll

Rock and roll (often written as rock & roll or rock 'n' roll) is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from a combination of the blues, country music and gospel music. Though elements of rock and roll can be heard in country records of the 1930s, and in blues records from the 1920s, rock and roll did not acquire its name until the 1950s. An early form of rock and roll was rockabilly, which combined country and jazz with influences from traditional Appalachian folk music and gospel.
The term "rock and roll" now has at least two different meanings, both in common usage. The American Heritage Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary both define rock and roll as synonymous with rock music. Allwords.com, however, refers specifically to the music of the 1950s. For the purpose of differentiation, this article uses the latter definition, while the broader musical genre is discussed in the rock music article.
In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a boogie woogie blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum. Classic rock and roll is usually played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit.
Rock and roll began achieving wide popularity in the 1960s. The massive popularity and eventual worldwide view of rock and roll gave it a widespread social impact. Bobby Gillespie writes that "When Chuck Berry sang "Hail, hail, rock and roll, deliver me from the days of old", that's exactly what the music was doing. Chuck Berry started the global psychic jailbreak that is rock'n'roll."
Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and on television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the initially characteristic backbeat, that are now more commonly called simply "rock music" or "rock".

Penicillin (Medicine)

Discovery
Main article: History of penicillin
The discovery of penicillin is attributed to Scottish scientist and Nobel laureate Alexander Fleming in 1928. He showed that, if Penicillium notatum was grown in the appropriate substrate, it would exude a substance with antibiotic properties, which he dubbed penicillin. This serendipitous observation began the modern era of antibiotic discovery. The development of penicillin for use as a medicine is attributed to the Australian Nobel laureate Howard Walter Florey together with the German Nobel laureate Ernst Chain and the English biochemist Norman Heatley.
However, several others reported the bacteriostatic effects of Penicillium earlier than Fleming. The use of bread with a blue mould (presumably penicillium) as a means of treating suppurating wounds was a staple of folk medicine in Europe since the Middle Ages. The first published reference appears in the publication of the Royal Society in 1875, by John Tyndall. Ernest Duchesne documented it in an 1897 paper, which was not accepted by the Institut Pasteur because of his youth. In March 2000, doctors at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in San José, Costa Rica published the manuscripts of the Costa Rican scientist and medical doctor Clodomiro (Clorito) Picado Twight (1887–1944). They reported Picado's observations on the inhibitory actions of fungi of the genus Penicillium between 1915 and 1927. Picado reported his discovery to the Paris Academy of Sciences, yet did not patent it, even though his investigations started years before Fleming's.
Fleming recounted that the date of his breakthrough was on the morning of Friday, September 28, 1928. It was a fortuitous accident: in his laboratory in the basement of St. Mary's Hospital in London (now part of Imperial College), Fleming noticed a petri dish containing Staphylococcus plate culture he had mistakenly left open, which was contaminated by blue-green mould, which had formed a visible growth. There was a halo of inhibited bacterial growth around the mould. Fleming concluded that the mould was releasing a substance that was repressing the growth and lysing the bacteria. He grew a pure culture and discovered that it was a Penicillium mould, now known to be Penicillium notatum. Charles Thom, an American specialist working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was the acknowledged expert, and Fleming referred the matter to him. Fleming coined the term "penicillin" to describe the filtrate of a broth culture of the Penicillium mould. Even in these early stages, penicillin was found to be most effective against Gram-positive bacteria, and ineffective against Gram-negative organisms and fungi. He expressed initial optimism that penicillin would be a useful disinfectant, being highly potent with minimal toxicity compared to antiseptics of the day, and noted its laboratory value in the isolation of "Bacillus influenzae" (now Haemophilus influenzae). After further experiments, Fleming was convinced that penicillin could not last long enough in the human body to kill pathogenic bacteria, and stopped studying it after 1931. He restarted clinical trials in 1934, and continued to try to get someone to purify it until 1940.

Most Expensive Coffee in the World

The most expensive coffee in the world does not hail from Jamaica or Hawaii, but instead from Indonesia.
Kopi Luwak the most expensive coffee in the world does exist, and those who drink the expensive coffee insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet, a weasel-like animal.
“Kopi” the Indonesian word for coffee along with “luwak” is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them.

Apparently the internal digestion ends up adds a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold. The most expensive coffee beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $50 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.
You would know if you drank the most expensive coffee in the world, because the quantities of it are tiny amounts.

Bianchi Bicycles

F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi S.p.A is the world's oldest bicycle-making company still in existence, having pioneered the use of equal-sized wheels with pneumatic rubber tires in 1885. It was founded in Italy in 1885. It produced cars and commercial vehicles from 1900 to 1939 and motorcycles from 1897 to 1967. Bianchi has been associated for 50 years with the Italian Tour de France winner, Fausto Coppi.

Bianchi bicycles

Edoardo Bianchi, a 21-year-old medical instrument maker, started his bicycle-manufacturing business in a small shop at 7 Via Nirone, Milan in 1885. It has been part of Cycleurope Group, the Swedish company of Grimaldi Industri AB, since May 1997. Bianchi pioneered the front wheel calliper brake. The British bicycle historian, Hilary Stone, said Bianchi "was not a small specialist manufacturer but rather a large industrial concern with most of their bicycle output being pretty run-of-the-mill models."

In the 1940s, Bianchi employed 4,500 people in two factories. Stone said: "Their road bikes did not really stand out from the crowd either. In all the catalogues of the period the tubing on the frames was not specified - it was just described as 'finest quality steel tubing' - though the British importers added that the tubing was double-butted. The frames are not especially light, nor are they particularly heavy."
