Korea: The Big Lie Gets A Public Apology

June 10, 2014: The May 13 thapartment building collapse in the North Korean capital is turning into a nightmare for the government. That began before the dust had even settled on the collapse of the 23 story building. Some survivors trapped in the rubble used cell phones to call for help. But the government did not immediately send construction equipment to aid in the rescue effort. Initial rescue was done by hand with government officials ordering hundreds of people to aid in the effort. This is believed to have led to more deaths. In an unprecedented move the government later publically apologized for the collapse (apparently caused by the growing corruption throughout the country). This is all very embarrassing for the government because most of the state built housing goes up in the capital for the benefit of military and government employees. Tall apartment buildings in particular are reserved for high ranking officials and their families. Now everyone housed in recently built tall buildings are living in fear. Thus all the victims in these buildings and those in similar buildings are wives, children and parents of mid-level officials. These people know about the corruption and now they know it can hit them where it hurts the most. This also means that the officials responsible for the corruption that led to the building collapse will be punished, perhaps publically. That sends a chill throughout the military and government bureaucracy because the corruption is quite widespread now but that knowledge is still considered a state secret. It later turned out that the military was responsible for putting this building up and that casts a bad light on the military which always insisted that it was largely immune to the spreading corruption. That is a lie, as anyone in the military (or their families) has realized for some time. What is really shocking is that the corruption has gotten to the point where it would endanger the families of military personnel. That is a line that no one thought even corrupt soldiers would cross. The government has a big morale problem on its hand as a result. Worse, officials believe that more people will blame the new leader, Kim Jong Un, for being unable to stem the growing corruption and for the deterioration of the economy and most everything else.

In sharp contrast to the collapsing government people cant help but notice how different things are in the growing (legal and illegal) market economy. Most of the new housing in the country is being built by the new entrepreneurs and no shoddy construction practices are tolerated. While many of the new entrepreneurs are corrupt (often of necessity to get around government anti-business laws) they are responsive to their customers. This is in sharp contrast the government, which let nearly two million citizens die of starvation in the 1990s and hasnt improved much since. People expect lies and deception from the government. A recent example was the exposure of the government rebranding of Chinese cell phones to make it appear that they were made in North Korea. This was discovered when some of these phones were dissembled (or had internal components exposed via an accident) and it was discovered that all the components were Chinese.

North Korean fears that North Koreans allowed to legally visit China are the source of the growing number of security leaks and that has led to a sharp cutback (over 80 percent) in the number of visas issued for travel to China. The government is also paranoia about North Koreans coming into contact with Christians and possibly bringing these subversive beliefs with them. Normally up to a hundred North Korean a day travel to China. This is part of a program that included North Korean secret police being sent to China to arrest North Koreans who had overstayed their visas and were apparently refusing to return to North Korea. This paranoia is also showing up more in North Korea itself, where orders have gone out to assign more civilians to duty guarding and beautifying the thousands of statues and pictures of members of the ruling Kim family found all over the north. The increased incidence of graffiti and other forms of vandalism against these sites has upset many senior officials. The government has also added new laws that make it a serious offence to use a cell phone illegally, look at foreign videos or have improper contacts with foreigners. All these violations can now be punished with the death penalty. Apparently at least one man, caught using a Chinese cell phone to call outside the country, was executed for this illegal activity. At the same time the government is trying to entice some of those who fled to China to return. This is being done with promises that there will be no retribution. It is implied that such returnees would also get family members out of prison camp. Its common for immediate family (parents, siblings or even more distant kin) are sent to prison camp to punish escapees.

A recent survey to measure unhappiness in countries (using things like unemployment, high crime rates, economic growth rate, inflation, shortages, high prices, political strife and so on) ranked Venezuela as the most miserable country in the world followed by Iran, Serbia, Argentina, Jamaica, Egypt, Spain, South Africa, Brazil and Greece. Where is North Korea? Like many of the most miserable nations on the planet the needed statistics for the ranking are state secrets. Japan is the least miserable (out of 89 nations ranked) followed by Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand. The U.S. ranks 71st and China 82nd. Misery often leads to instability and an atmosphere where criminal activity flourishes.

North Korea has released video showing its warships firing what appears to be a Russian Kh-35 anti-ship missile. Russia denies it sold the missiles to North Korea thus the only other likely source is Burma, which has been conducting an illegal (and always denied) arms trade with North Korea for over a decade. The Kh-35 is similar to the American Harpoon but lighter (610 kg/1,340 pounds, compared to 728 kg/1,600) and has less range (130 kilometers compared to 224 for the latest version of Harpoon). The Kh-35 (also known as the SS-N-25 or Switchblade) can be fired from helicopters, aircraft, ships, or shore batteries.

June 9, 2014: South Korea recently confirmed that it is not buying American SM-3 anti-missile missiles for its three Aegis equipped destroyers or for use on land. Instead South Korea is buying PAC-3 anti-missile missiles for its land based Patriot systems and developing its own anti-missile missile with capabilities similar to the SM-3. South Korea has built a substantial arms industry in the last two decades and wants to demonstrate that it can handle really high-tech stuff (like anti-missile systems).

Singapore is prosecuting a local shipping company and a Singaporean citizen for complicity in the 2013 incident where a North Korean ship was caught in Panama trying to carry out an illegal arms deal between Cuba and North Korea.

June 8, 2014: North Korea issued unspecified threats against the UN for establishing an office in South Korea to monitor the worsening abuse the North Korean government is inflicting on its own people.

How we can help you:

The first thing to do is have your home inspected. Sentry will thoroughly inspect your home or business, looking for the tell-tale signs of termite infestation. Areas of termite infestations will be marked with chalk (where accessible) so that you or anyone else can see where the problems are. You will receive an inspection report detailing our findings, recommendations and a written estimate. Then, you can decide whats best for you!

You cant assume your home is termite-free just because youve never seen them they only swarm once or twice a year, and you might miss it! Click here to schedule your free no obligation inspection or call at 805-527-8002.

"Company A (Terminix) wanted $4400 for my problem. Company B (Gold Coast) bid $3860. Sentry got the job done for over a thousand dollars less and with a longer warranty. Its been 5 months and so far no termites. Plus, they schedule annual visits to make sure my pests are gone. John also trapped a raccoon in my backyard that I didn't even know was there. I'm glad I called them." - Rudy C., Camarillo CA

Sentry will work with you to determine the best treatment option for your property, based on the extent of your termite damage and infestation. Not all homes need to be fumigated. If your home only has a few small areas of Drywood Termite infestations and they are accessible for treatment, localized treatments can be very effective.

If you have a small Drywood Termite problem and its accessible for treatment, have it locally treated before it spreads throughout your whole house and does a lot of damage. Wait too late and fumigation may be your only solution. If your home has numerous areas of Drywood Termites and/or areas of infestation that extend into areas that cannot be possibly reached for treatment, we will recommend a complete Termite fumigation. Were not going to recommend something that we know wont work.

Options we use include:

Sentry may recommend local spot treatments with Termidor when appropriate. As a Termidor certified company, we are licensed to apply this termite defense product.

We will apply a liquid dilution of Termidor along the foundation walls of your home to create a continuous treatment zone. The application method is called "trenching" or "trenching and rodding," and may sometimes require drilling holes through slabs or other hard surfaces adjacent to the foundation of your home for maximum protection. We may also treat conducive or termite active areas from the interior of your home, depending on the extent of the termite infestation and damage. Depending on your situation, a minimally disruptive Termidor treatment along the exterior perimeter of your home may be all the protection your home will need.

It's an unfortunate start. A choppy dark blue sea and a moonless Fijian sky.

The nose of the water taxi rises and falls, hitting the water like a brick on concrete. Boatman Api peers out into the blackness, keeping a watch out for hazards on the 40-minute trip from Fiji's main island to Malolo Island.

I feel I've made a serious mistake.

I pull my one-year-old closer to my chest, trying to stop her rockmelon-sized head from bobbling about, while my partner wraps his arms tighter around our three-year-old.

The exhaust fumes are making me queasy - then we arrive at the jetty and see the singing staff, who after their welcome song shout "Bula! Bula!"

Malolo Island Resort operations manager Zack Vonotabua hands out peppermint-scented wet towels and joins us for a pineapple drink at the Beach Bar on the water's edge.

"How was your boat trip over?" says Zack, as he holds the glass and straw in place for my youngest girl.

Before I get a chance to explain that it was choppy, my daughter starts vomiting over Zack's arm and then the chair, seat cushion and the table.

It's an odd first encounter with Malolo but the perfect introduction, I soon realise, to this small island resort.

The seasickness "event" demonstrates how the staff here make one feel instantly embraced into a new family - they are as concerned about my little one as I am.

The Truth about 9/11, Architects and Engineers Canada Tour in 2014 - Video

ROGERS-As Beaver Local's new K-12 campus begins to take shape, the building's architects visited Monday's Board of Education meeting to update the community and address questions from the board about the building's design.

John DeFrance, an architect with the Youngstown firm of Olsavsky Jaminet, reported to the board that the school's construction was on schedule, but construction had been delayed several times due to the unusually rainy conditions. He also said the firm is under budget at this point in the project.

"We did lose eight days to weather but, overall, the schedule has been kept," said DeFrance, who attended the meeting along with fellow architects Dennis Kaplan and Ray Jaminet.

DeFrance told the board steel beams are ready to be installed in the building and the firm's goal is to have roofs on the facility by Christmas. He said having roofs installed will make it easier for crews to continue construction through the winter months.

DeFrance then turned the focus of his report to the floor plan of the new facility, which he noted has raised some questions from the board and the community.

The floor plan is based around the 21st Century Learning Concept, meaning the interior of the school will feature a primarily open floor plan with few dividing walls. DeFrance noted the board approved the design in May 2013, and said he was unsure why only now concerns were being brought to his attention. He said changes could be made to the design, but only at the risk of seriously delaying the project.

On the subject of the facility's layout, DeFrance was questioned primarily by Board Member Lance Shultz, who said he has been asking tough questions at every stage of the project and commended DeFrance and his crew for "doing a heck of a job."

Shultz said his primary concern was the 21st Century Learning Concept and open floor plan design might not work for Beaver Local. He noted a previous board had approved the plans in 2013, and since then he has reviewed the plans and researched 21st Century Learning.

"The 21st Century Learning is a relatively new curriculum," said Shultz. "Does or doesn't it work? We're not really sure yet, and I think the jury is still out on that."

He said despite whatever apprehension he and the board might have about this relatively new education concept, it was important to support the district in trying something new. Still, he asked architects how the school's open floor plan design might be altered if the 21st Century Learning Concept does not succeed in the district.

Caves Valley Partners plans to pump in $250 million to revitalize the area around M&T Bank Stadium, adding office and retail space, apartments and much-needed parking spaces, the Business Journal reported.

The project in Sharp-Leadenhall will transform three blocks along Cross and Ostend streets near the stadium, the report said.

Caves Valley partner Arsh Mirmiran told the Journal the site was chosen both for its proximity to M&T Bank Stadium and access to transportation. The three blocks have quick access to MARC, light rail, the Charm City Circulator, Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Interstate 395, the report said.

This is the type of smart growth, transit-oriented project that can significantly enhance the quality of life of our surrounding communities, City Councilman William H. Cole IV said in a statement.

Providing a significant boost to parking a complaint of virtually everyone in the area further illustrates that this is a well-conceived plan, he added.

The project seeks to add 300,000 square feet of office space to the Stadium Square, nearly doubling the total amount of office space in nearby Federal Hill. The Stadium Square section alone is expected to create about 1,200 permanent jobs and between 800 and 1,000 construction jobs.

Elsewhere, the project plans to add several hundred apartments; between 60,000 and 70,000 square feet of retail and 2,000 parking spaces; a new community center on the Leadenhall Baptish Church property and a broadband services center to support businesses.

The decision to improve broadband access to the project indicates Caves Valley is anticipating heavy demand from tech companies in the project, the Journal said, adding that Baltimores neighborhoods surrounding the Inner Harbor are favored by tech firms large and small because they contain uncommon office spaces and provide employees access to neighborhood-focused amenities.

Caves Valley previously developed 1111 Light St., home to Red Owl Analytics and Betamore.
