Korean Mobile Phone Diverts Deadly Bullet

A Korean-made mobile phone has performed a trick folklore traditionally reserves for the Bible, saving the life of an Englishman by absorbing the bullet that was meant for him.
The BBC News and daily tabloid The Sun on Tuesday reported Darren Prior (23), the manager of a jewelry shop in West Sussex, was shot by an armed robber but survived as the bullet hit the cell phone in his breast pocket.
The reports said a masked armed robber broke into the store, took the jewelry and ran away. With Prior in hot pursuit, the man turned back and shot him twice. One bullet missed and the other killed the phone.
The projectile lodged in the battery of the LG model.
Prior said he felt the shot drilling into his chest. He thought he would find himself bleeding but was baffled to find a clean hole on his shirt.
LG Electronics is so pleased with the PR coup that it has decided to give Prior its latest third-generation mobile phone along with another home appliance of his choice such as a plasma display panel (PDP) TV or washing machine. The company said Prior would also be invited to launches of new LG products.

S. Korea's ranking rises in global competitiveness

Korea moved up to 17th position in the global competitiveness ranking this year, achieving the biggest advancement among 117 economies, according to the World Economic Forum's annual study.

The Global Competitiveness Report 2005-2006 released yesterday showed that Asia's fourth-largest economy climbed 12 notches. It is the second time that Korea placed within the top 20 since 2003, as it continued to advance for the past three years.

The annual study touted by the WEF as a "valuable tool for shaping economic policy and guiding investment decisions," attributed Korea's sudden rise to its ability to enter a stage of economic recovery despite the strengthening won against the U.S. dollar. The stronger domestic currency threatened to dampen exports, which have been the country's main economic driver amid sluggish consumption.


Finland retained the No. 1 spot for the third consecutive year. The United States has remained second since Finland replaced the world's-largest economy in the 2003-2004 report.

The remainder of the top 10 were Sweden, Denmark, Taiwan, Singapore, Iceland, Switzerland, Norway and Australia.

In Asia, Taiwan continued to be the most competitive, placing fifth, followed by Singapore at sixth place. The WEF report described them as "Asia's two dragons."
Japan, the world's second-largest economy, ranked 12th, sliding three notches.

The WEF report has been published for the past 26 years, serving as an authoritative guide to the competitive condition of economies worldwide.

These Young Spendthrifts...

As Unification Minister Chung Dong-young tells lawmakers to ready W6-11 trillion to provide energy aid to North Korea, former president Kim Dae-jung looks on and says, "Boy, young people these days are free-handed. When we gave to the North, we spent most of our time watching the public mood."

Luxury Customers Getting Younger

The main customers of luxury brands are getting younger, with shoppers in their 20s and 30s outnumbering those in their 40s and 50s at high-end department stores like Lotte’s Avenuel and Galleria. The industry targets them as “young luxury customers,” but there are fears that that will aggravate an unhealthy consumption habit since few of them are economically independent.

People in their 20s and 30s accounted for 48 percent of customers who bought luxury goods at Avenuel in July, 10 percentage points more than those in their 40s and 50s. The proportion of 20-somethings has been going up by a percentage point a month from 12.3 percent in April to 16.9 percent in July. The same goes for Galleria Department Store with its longer history of selling luxury goods. People in their 20s and 30s constituted 57.1 percent of the store’s luxury customers in July.

Ha Seong-dong of Lotte Department Store says the young, unlike their parents, have grown up surrounded by luxury goods, and to them designer brands are simply a means to express themselves rather than an unnecessary indulgence.

Department stores are competing to woo these young customers. Galleria says it is displaying more trendy goods and increasing the number of multi-shops. It is also strengthening marketing strategies for young luxury customers such as events for soon-to-be-married couples. It has also become a home to high-end restaurants and cultural spaces to fit the taste of the new customers.

Yet many of them do not earn the money they spend on luxury goods. Students or jobless people account for over 10 percent of 20-something customers of luxury departments.

Letter from China Written by a Defector

“Please get rid of the rotten Kim Jong Il regime”

Last March, Citizens' Coalition for Human Rights of Abductees and North Korean Refugees (CHNK) received a letter. It was a letter requesting for rescue written by a North Korean defector.

The writer letter is Ms. Park, who attempted defection to South Korea through Mongolia in December 2003, but got arrested by the Chinese police and repatriated to North Korea. He was released by many injuries on his body from torture. He attempted defection again and arrived in China, but had to have both of his legs amputated.

With the contribution by the CHNK. The DailyNK releases the letter in full text to the readers. Ms. Park is currently making a stay in Thailand, waiting to come to South Korea.

Following is the letter in full text.

I want to go to South Korea!

Dear Respected Misters! How do you do?I am Park **, a defector from ** City of South Hamkyung province.
I defected to China and lived Jangchun (China) with my son, but having been treated like pebbles on the streets, I realized where I must go is South Korea, where my freedom and human rights will are secured. To realized my dream, I left for Manzhouli(a name of a place, China) but instead of paradise, I was taken to North Korea, arrested by Chinese police and forcefully repatriate, and I returned to China handicapped.

December 12, 2003, everyone was excited for the coming Christmas, and I, with faith in God that I will be able to make it to South Korea, left alone leaving my son in Changchun with the help of the cook of the restaurant I was working for. Once I made up my mind to defect, there was nothing I was afraid of. However, I was arrested on December 20 in Nei Monggol by Chinese police, and was sent back to North Korea. First I was sent to Jipkyulso in Chungjin City, then to Forced Labor Concentration Camp located in Shinpo City in South Hamkyung province. I cannot write down all the sufferings I have experienced in my homeland with few words or in few pages.

When I first arrived in North Korea, my feet were not that bad, they were only a little swollen. However, in the cold prison cell of Onsung Security Department the next January, they pierced my feet with oxidized metal, and I was beat up and kicked with boots that my eyes bled.

I was beat up like that everyday, and my feed were chained that feet were metal poisoned and became more swollen. From the parts where they were pieced came out blood and puss, and started to rot.

I suffered of pain and cried every night, and they hit my feel even more saying that my feet should rot up to my knees so I will never attempt to defect to South Korea again. In such fearful pain, I promised myself that if I cannot make it to South Korea walking on my feel, then I will make to by my elbow crawling and testify the crimes of the Kim Jong Il regime. That determination kept me alive until today.

Looking at my rotting feet with puss gushing out, I prayed again and again for God to bring an end to the Kim Jong Il, a government as rot as my feet, under which the people die away everyday and where no human dignity could be found.

With time I was bruised all over my body, even the white parts of my eye balls became blue, and I looked like a monster, not a human being. But they still beat me and kicked me and said that they are letting me live.

They were right though. If it were no for my rotten feet, I would not have made out. After a month, they showed me a written page of which they wrote testifying that I have attempted to defect to China and was arrested by the Chinese police.

I was dumbfounded.

Then they released me looking at my feet that have turned black by then, so I can be treated. I looked at my feet, which gave me so much pain, and was happy because they let me live. Misters!

Does this make sense anywhere in the world? Is this what a normal person can imagine? The screams and moans that came out of my mouth for pain… I do not even want to remember ever again. My feet that gave me so much pain are gone now so I no longer can stand.

That scream and moaning were not only mine but were of out parents and bothers, and also of that Kim Jong Il regime that is so rot that it can no longer stand alone.

After that, with the least treatment I could get, pain was reduced. Despite my parents’ and sister’s tears, I left them with canes, I fell on ground because of hunger and I crawled because I could not longer walk, but I made it do China. My son and my friends cried when they saw me, but I did not cry because I escaped from the hell and will find a way to South Korea

However, now, seven months here, it seems like my dream to go to South Korea is so far in distance. Instead, I suffer of threat of arrest by Chinese police everyday, and the fear drives me nearly crazy.

As if it were my business, I look at the clothes everyday and search for the land I want to be in, but it makes more suffer even more that I cannot even imagine the place.

Respected misters! Help me. Make my wish to go to that place come true. I ask you with all and all my heart. Please pray for me so the fair God will forgive all my sins and guide me to South Korea.I will wait for your reply with hope.

Seoul to spend 8.6 tln won in expanding social safety net

SEOUL, Sept. 26 (Yonhap)
The government has decided to spend a total of 8.6 trillion won (US$8.3 billion) over the next four years to strengthen the country's social safety net, officials said Monday.

The decision was made at a government-ruling party meeting earlier in the day, where the sides also resolved to ease requirements that make citizens eligible for state subsidies.

To that end, the government will raise the poverty line to add 120,000 more to the list of recipients of government aid. Currently, 1.49 million people on the list.In an effort to reduce the income gap between the rich and poor, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) system, a refundable tax credit for low-income workers outside the social safety net, will be introduced in 2007.

The EITC system is designed to help people in the low-income groups with subsidies and tax benefits .

The government also decided to expand medical subsidies. Originally given to households with incomes below the minimum living cost of 1.13 million won a month, households in the bracket above will also be included by 2009.

To cope with the problems of a rapidly aging society, the government will introduce nurses to low-income families who support their elderly with serious diseases like Alzheimer's in July 2008.As many as 110 more sanitariums will also be constructed by that deadline to help the elderly.

Recall the conferences

The Web 2.0 Conference is of, for and about the leading figures and companies driving innovation in the Internet economy. The conference will debut with the theme of "The Web as Platform," exploring how the Web has developed into a robust platform for innovation across many media and devices - from mobile to television, telephone to search. < Link >

The Web 2.0 conference 2004

Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle on the big themes of the conference:
-The web is a development environment.
-Websites are now software components that you can call as services.
-PC application stack was Intel-Others-Windows, with third party applications to lock in at the top.
-Web application stack is NetworkSolutions - OpenSource/Browsers - BigGuysLikeAmazonAndMapquestAndGoogle, with network effects to lock in at the top.
-Customers build businesses -- tons of people are putting content on the Internet to help eBay, Google, Blogging, Amazon, Flickr, etc.
-Microsoft won the browser war but saw no financial gains from the win. All the value has migrated to the applications.
-We're seeing the end of the software upgrade cycle, because Web applications are always up-to-date.
-"The Power of the Tail" means you can have a lot of small players that all survive. Google AdSense takes advantage of the tail. < More >
