I May Regret This Later #RichardArmitage and the issue of cyberbullying
Quite a few of you have been asking me to weigh in on Richard Armitage’s interview about cyberbullying and about my take on bullying in the fandom. I’ll give my take on the latter first. I’ve been asked to give serious input on bullying in the fandom on many occasions, but I’ve pretty much refrained. There was one occasion when I felt compelled to make a serious post about someone being…
I’ve been away expending my knowledge on theories, its subtopics and concepts. I’ve barely scratched the surface of kinetics, but hey; big things start will small steps.
You would be forgiven for assuming that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones—it sounds like common sense, and besides, you know for a fact that a bowling ball drops more quickly than a feather. And this is true, but it has nothing to do with gravity—the only reason this occurs is because the earth’s atmosphere provides resistance. In reality, as Galileo first realized about 400 years ago, gravity works the same on all objects, regardless of their mass. What this means is that if you repeated the feather/bowling ball experiment on the moon (which has no atmosphere), they would hit the ground at the exact same time.
It is 43 years since the north and the south of Korea have adopted the July 4 Joint Statement in 1972, the keynote of which are the three principles of national reunification—independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity.
The three principles are a result of President Kim Il Sung’s sustained and devoted efforts for national reunification.
In August 1971 the President proposed wide-range dialogue and negotiations between the north and the south of Korea, declaring that the DPRK was ready to have contacts at any time with all political parties, including the ruling Democratic Republican Party, social organizations and individuals of south Korea.
And he met a delegate of south Korea visiting Pyongyang to attend the north-south high-level political talks in May next year. At the meeting he clarified the three principles for Korea’s reunification, stressing that the country’s reunification should be achieved independently without outsiders’ interference and peacefully on the basis of promoting great national unity.
Consequently, the July 4 North-South Joint Statement reflecting the three principles came into the world, arousing full support and admiration from among all Koreans and the world people.
As soon as the joint statement adopted, a large number of political parties and organizations in south Korea issued statements in support of it. And media described the three principles as the supreme idea transcending all isms and the best and shortest way for national reunification.
The three principles advanced by the President still serve as the “compass of reunification”, enjoying full support of the entire nation for their validity and vitality.
