Why Are BMWs Catching Fire in Korea?

Another BMW burst into flames on Tuesday as it was racing down an expressway on the outskirts of Seoul, forcing the driver and passenger to abandon the car.

It was the second fire in as many days, the 11th unexplained combustion of a BMW in July alone and the 28th this year. All of the cars were models that have been put on recall.

Hwabyeong (Fire illness)


While under great strain, people in this nation experience grave emotional distress or unique physical symptoms found only in Korea. Here are some of those indigenous illnesses.



Hwabyeong (Fire illness)

Many symptoms of psychiatric illnesses derive from sociocultural factors, and the Korean cultural context has exerted its influence on the evolution of “fire illness,” or hwabyeong. The term is comprised of “hwa,” meaning fire, and “byeong,” meaning disease.

It is better known as “anger syndrome.” Hwabyeong’s symptoms include tightness in the chest, heartburn, shortness of breath, indigestion and fever all over the body, but the most representative symptom is a sense of fullness in the pit of the stomach or pressure localized in the chest.

One of the great things that the white world does not know, but I think I do know, is that Black people are just like everybody else. One has used the myth of Negro and the myth of color to pretend and to assume that you were dealing with, essentially, with something exotic, bizarre, and practically, according to human laws, unknown. Alas, it is not true. We’re also mercenaries, dictators, murderers, liars. We are human too

South Korean firms are being criticized for substandard construction

‘I Think All Those People Are Dead’: Laos Dam Survivors Seek Word of Neighbors



On Friday, the Lao News Agency quoted Khammany Inthirath, the minister of energy and mines, as saying that what the agency called the “collapse” of the dam was caused by “substandard construction.”

Richard Meehan, a former dam builder and former adjunct professor at Stanford University’s School of Engineering, said that the dam failure sounded to him like a case of “failure by internal erosion” caused by construction defects like inadequate foundation preparation, bad grouting, and high-risk design configurations.

“These are of course all the more likely when the project is deeply profit-driven, geographically remote, and managed by multiple entities with conflicting interests, poor communications, and zero patience for what they take to be fussy details or delays,” Mr. Meehan said in an email.

As questions continue to swirl about the speed of response from both the companies and the local authorities, scrutiny has also turned to the construction quality of the dam project itself. Laotian Minister of Energy and Mines Khammany Inthirath suggested that the dam may have been built using “substandard construction.”

According to UPI, the dam was completed ahead of schedule and was set to begin full operations in February of 2019. Critics have pointed to the rushed schedule, as well as a failure to properly prepare for Laos’ annual rainy season, as possible causes for the collapse.

Today's Russia is weak and not an existential threat

Russia Is Not the Soviet Union
Today's Russia is weak and not an existential threat. The messianic, superpower of the USSR was.

by Ted Galen Carpenter
The bottom line is that Russia is a conventional, somewhat conservative, power, whereas the Soviet Union was a messianic, totalitarian power

An equally crucial difference is that the Soviet Union was a global power (and, for a time, arguably a superpower) with global ambitions and capabilities to match.


Conversely, Russia is merely a regional power with very limited extra-regional reach. The Kremlin’s ambitions are focused heavily on the near abroad, aimed at trying to block the eastward creep of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the U.S.-led intrusion into Russia’s core security zone.



全体主義で、世界の覇権をとろうという野心と実力があったソ連時代と違って、いまのロシアは、受け身で、アメリカの生存を脅かす存在ではない、ロシアのことで、そんなに大騒ぎするな、と。

【独自】清水下請け 除染廃棄物「埋めた」　警察が不法投棄で捜査
8/1(水) 11:48配信


福島第1原発事故を受けた国の除染事業を請け負う大手ゼネコン・清水建設の下請け企業の作業員が、福島県の除染で出た廃棄物を指定外の土地に埋めて、不正に捨てていたことがわかった。
環境省は調査を始め、警察も捜査に乗り出した。


この下請け企業をめぐっては、国民が費用を負担する除染事業で、年105億円を売り上げ、その4割を超える43億円が代表らの役員報酬となっていたことが、FNNの取材で判明している。

作業員は、不正投棄の背景に、こうした企業の利益体質があると指摘している。

On contemporary human rights issues, however, Moon has been disappointing. Three areas particularly stand out: North Korean human rights, homosexual equality, and refugees. The Seoul Queer Culture Festival was only a few weeks ago, so this is a good moment for review.

日本ボクシング連盟の山根明会長（７８）が半世紀以上にわたり、山口組系暴力団組長だった大阪市の男性（８１）と交友関係があったことが明らかになった。男性が毎日新聞に証言した。山根氏が１９９１年に連盟理事に就任して以降の時期も含まれている。男性は２００７年に組長を引退。数年前からは関係も絶たれたとされるが、ボクシングの国際統括団体でも反社会勢力との関係が問題視されており、山根氏の説明責任が問われるのは必至だ。

South Korea-born journalist compares white people to dogs pissing on fire hydrants

Ms Jeong wrote in one tweet from July 2014: "Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men."

One online critic posted a selection of Ms Jeong's other tweets, which contain obscenities.

"Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins," she said in December 2014.

The South Korea-born journalist, who was raised in the US, also used the hashtag "#CancelWhitePeople" and referred to white people as "dogs".

Russia is letting thousands of new North Korean laborers enter the country

Thousands of North Korean Workers Enter Russia Despite U.N. Ban
Moscow’s approval of new North Korean laborers keeps cash flowing to Pyongyang and may violate sanctions, U.S. officials say



Russia is letting thousands of new North Korean laborers enter the country and issuing fresh work permits—actions U.S. officials say potentially violate United Nations sanctions aimed at cutting cash flows to Pyongyang and pressing it to give up nuclear weapons.


Russian government records also show that some companies hiring North Koreans are joint ventures with North Korean entities, an apparent violation of sanctions banning “all joint ventures or cooperative entities” with North Korean companies and citizens. Many of the companies appear to be expanding even as they are supposed to be scaling down.


While sanctions have reduced North Korea’s total labor force overseas, a U.S. official said, those numbers haven’t fallen in Russia and China. “We don’t want to underestimate the extent to which there may be serious violations.”

The new US ambassador to South Korea has urged Pyongyang to declare its nuclear facilities as a “starting point” for the US and North Korea to call an official end to the Korean war.

The comments by Harry Harris underscore the two adversaries’ divergent priorities, with the US pushing disarmament while North Korea increasingly focuses on signing a peace treaty first.

Mr Harris said there should be more progress on denuclearisation before declaring an end to the Korean war. “Submitting a list of nuclear facilities would be a good starting point,” he said in Seoul on Thursday.

“The declaration of an end to the war and the signing of a peace treaty are two different things. We could consider declaring an end to the war before signing a peace treaty.”
