One of the most threatening countries of our world, North Korea, is planning on test firing a missle for the 3rd time.
This is in violation with the agreement made with U.S during their meeting earlier with the new dictator of N.Korea, Kim Jong Eun.
The violation will result in the abandonment of the providence of food supplies, promised earlier during their agreement. U.S made it clear that N.Korea is to stop their activity involving nuclear weapons, long ranged missiles, and even firing Satellites that uses missile technology. U.S sees this event as a clear evidence that N.Korea is not ready to come to an agreement with the U.S in terms of an alliance.
Clearly, the new dictator of N.Korea isn't living up to the change that most people had hoped: a change that will bring peace and stability to the citizens of N.Korea.
Drivers would be able to pick and purchase from McDonald's menu by using a traffic system that transmits menus unto to touch screen of the car. And from there, people will be able to choose and purchase their food. All that is left to do is to go to a nearby McDonalds and pick up your food.
It'll be a technology improved upon their call center services, where people can order from the internet/phone at their homes/businesses and pick up their orders at McDonalds.
This should significantly decrease the number of line ups on the McDonald's drive thru area. It is said that it'll be first introduced in Japan.
Researchers have found two new types of Blood: Langereis and Junior blood types It is said that over 50,000 of Japanese people have this rare blood.

The famous Apple franchise of iPad's next generation tablet is going to be releasing very soon. Rumours have it that it will be announced and launched next month.
The new iPad is supposed to have higher Pixel density with similar design as the iPad 2. The iPad 3 is also supposed to have a upgraded processing chip of A5+ (not A6) that is supposed to be a dual core core with a quad core video card.
Doesn't it seem like Apple is always going minimal with their upgrades?? ex// iPhone 4S. I think it's about time Apple steps up their game and brings something new to the table, especially with the increasing competition.
The Brand name clothing "Northface" has grasped the attention of many people in South Korea. The teenage population of Korea is going on a rampage in order to obtain this clothing for themselves. There are reports of groups of teens who would target individuals wearing these "Northface" clothing. This phenonmenon, which doesn't seem to occur anywhere else other than Korea, is an interesting way in which consumerism drives individuals.
In Korea, almost every single teenagers are seen wearing "Northface" clothing during the winter times. Despite, the fact that the costs of these Northface winter clothing are priced signifcantly higher than those of North America (something that would cost us in Canada for $250 may go up to $400 in Korea). The Northface brand has become so popular till the point that there are rankings given to individuals wearing different "price points" of the clothing.
For example, wearing a coat that is most common to get and which is priced lower than others would fit you into the category of "chi jill e" (which can mean "lame" "geek" "of low status" "losers"). Thus, there are reports of school bullying occuring to individuals who do not possess these clothing. Also, people are treated differently according to the "rank" of the Northface clothing that they wear. Therefore, these "ranks" have caused teens who cannot afford the clothing into resorting to robbery as their solution.
Not only is this an issue, but parents have reported issues in providing their children with these clothing that are pulling them back financially. Considering the fact that the average salary range within Korea is significantly less than those of North America, the impact that these expensive clothing has upon their lives increases. Thus, parents knowing the fact that their children's self esteem is dependent upon possessing these clothing will sacrifice hard earned income into purchasing these clothing.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved with the increase in awareness that media has brought to the Korean population.
