Professor Kang's papers were fabricated.

서울대, 강수경 교수 논문 14편 '조작'으로 결론(종합), Seoul National University concluded that professor Kang Su Kyong's 14 thesises were fabriacted.



Seoul National University concluded that professor Kang's all of 14 papers were fabricated. Professor Kang will be punished more than cutting his pay. The events that Papers were fabricated are hot issue in Korea after Professor Woosuk Hwang's accident. This incident delegitimized Seoul National University. As a student major in Science, I hope no more incidents like this.

Salvage the wreck of a rocket

北로켓 엔진 잔해 추정물체 인양…비밀 밝힐 단서 기대, The wreck of a rocket that was launched in North Korea was salvaged...It will be key of technology.

The wreck of a rocket that was launched in North Korea was salvaged. It was presumed to be engine of rocket. Although wreck of rocket was damaged, it will be clue for grasp the core technology. Excellent talented people major in medicine, not science in Korea. So development of scientific technology is slow in progress. Meanwhile, North Korea's rocket launching was success, I was sad. I wish the rocket 'NARO' in South Korea will be success.

"It will be successful in human cloning"

英 노벨의학상 존 거든, “인간 복제 50년내 가능”, John Gurdon was awarded the Novel Prize perdicted "The human cloning will be success in 50 years."




John Gurdon who was awarded the Novel Prize purported that it will be successful in human cloning in 50 years. John Gurdon forecasted that mammal cloning would successes in 50 years in 1960. John Gurdon made an accurate forecast. Actually, English scientist cloned a sheep, Dolly. Technical, ethical problems should be solved in human cloning. This problem is related Chemistry and Biology that I major in.

SK chemicals infringed patent rights

법원 "SK케미칼, 다국적 제약사 노바티스 특허 침해", The court orderd 'SK chemicals infringe patent rights of Novartis'



The court ordered 'SK chemicals' infringe patent rights of 'Novartis'. 'Novartis' argue that 'SK chemicals' violated Novartis' patent rights. This opinion was accepted. I am interested in this article. Because my major is chemistry and many people major in chemistry get a job in 'SK chemicals'. So I want to learn good news about 'SK chemicals'

English man donated two organs to his wife.

영국 남성, 세계 최초로 부인에 장기 2개 생체이식

 

A man donated two organs to his wife in England. Mr. David donated his lung 13 years ago. And he donated his kidney this time. The example like this is first in the world. Donating organs and receiving organs donating have a bare chance. But Mr. David and his wife, Ms. David, could do it. I am repulsed by Donating organs. So Mr. David's love to wife is nice.

Prison break in Mexico with the death

17 killed as armed inmates attempt prison break in northern Mexico

(There is no picture in article that connected upper link, so I brought another picture.)

Inmates tried to prison break with the 17 deaths in Mexico. 17 deaths include 11 inmates and 6 guards. I am regrettable that innocent people were dead. If inmates who try to prison break escape, they should commit a crime. So Prison break must be forbidden. Mexico government must punish these inmates severely.

Armed groups killed Christians in Nigeria

12 killed in attacks on two churches in Nigeria

(There is no picture in article that connected upper link, so I brought another picture.)

Armed groups attacked two churches on Christmas Eve in Nigeria. Casualties are 12 people. The police guessed armed groups are Islam Taliban forces. They consider it sacrilege to believe Christ. Many troubles such as this accident are occurred all over the globe. So I think religion conflict is  important thing. Understanding and harmony are needed all over the globe.

Bus explosion in Pakistan

Pakistan bus explosion kills 6, wounds dozens

(There is no picture in article that connected upper link, so I brought another picture.)


There was an explosion of bus with many casualties. Casualties are all passengers of bus. Correct cause of explosion is not investigated. Mass Medias reported that gas cylinder was exploded. I often use bus, I am afraid for this news. I wish no more accident such as bus explosion like this article.

The Hobbit is a box office hit

The Hobbit dwarfs box office rivals




'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' is ranked No.1 in US box office for two weeks. This movie is connected with 'The Lord of the Ring'. In the 'The Lord of the Ring', there were many scenes ignored. These scenes are explained in 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'. This movie is well received. So I want to go to see this movie soon.

Mario Monti with middle-of-the-road politics.

Mario Monti to lead Italy centrist coalition

Mario Monti, the late prime minister, declared that he will participate next general election with coalition of moderation. Mario Monti explained that the coalition of moderation is alliance of several groups that support his reform bill. But Mario Monti's prospect is gloomy. I think moderation that combines progressives and conservatives is good thought. Ahn Cheol-soo who excused himself was a moderate. He influenced young people in Korea.

Tax, Buffet rule, Policy

French 75% income tax struck down by constitutional council

France's constitutional council decided that additional imposing a duty for high incoming earner has more than annual 1m euros (£817,400) is unconstitutional. This legislation is called 'Buffet rule'. It doesn't guarantee equality is why that law is unconstitutional. Buffet rule was also hot issue in presidential election in Korea. When three candidates debate in a TV debate, one candidate pestered another candidate with questions. Buffet rule doesn't correlate with me, it is very important to economy of nation. So I will take an interest in the policies.

North Korea's surprising rocket technology

North Korea's rocket launches cost $1.3 billion



North Korea allocates $1.3 billion of annual budget for launching a rocket. North Korea is a communist country. If the cost used for launching rocket is given to people in North Korea, they will live in abundance. There were two tries to launching rockets, second attempt was success. This result is counters to the situation of South Korea. South Korea attempted launching rocket several times, all tries failed. I was angry as a student major in Science in South Korea. We must encourage development of science with allocating more budgets.

Was Marilyn Monroe a Communist?

FBI Removes Many Redactions in Marilyn Monroe File























FBI doubted Marilyn Monroe is communist, so FBI investigated her in secret. Marilyn Monroe File is expected to include Marilyn Monroe's cause of death. But FBI modified the Marilyn Monroe File and removed that part. So we cannot identify Monroe's precise cause of death before FBI reveals a secret. I wonder how far governmental power such as FBI exerts an influence. First of all, I like Marilyn Monroe.

Apple and copyright

Apple fined by China court for copyright violation

 (Picture : China is one of the fastest growing markets for Apple's products)

Apple paid compensation to eight Chinese writers and two companies for violating their copyrights. Unlicensed electronic versions of their books had been sold on Apple's online store. This is the second time Apple has had penalty for copyright violation in China. Ownership of 'iPad' name is the first legal trouble cause in China. I don't know what correct reason is, but Apple had a lot of legal troubles across the globe. I guess legal conflict of Apple is one of many marketing strategies.

The good leader of Apple

Apple boss Tim Cook in massive pay cut

 

 

Tim Cook will take a salary of just 1% of the $378m (£235m) he received last year. Steve Jobs had an annual salary of $1. Nowadays, the role of leader takes center stage. There are many important things to leader such as drive, experience, etc. There are many qualifications of leader, I think the thing that leader sets an example is the most important thing. I think one of the many Apple's success factors is competent leader such as Tim Cook and Steve Jobs. Apple will keep up thriving for some years ahead.
