Eleven Things I Learned from Running
|Image courtesy of huffpost.com
Here are the ten things I learned and benefits I got from running during months of training.
1. Plan and prepare for the race
An athlete who fails to plan, plans to fail. You don't just wake up one day and tell yourself you want to run a marathon, then run for it. You are heading to disaster my friend, and even if you find a way to struggle through the finish line, wait till the next day, when your body screams at you with all the muscle pain and injuries.
2. Proper breathing matters
Never under estimate the power of breathing, this will keep you through the race. Breathing deeply while running can also relieve the pain of side stitches.
3. Know your pace and keep it
Find your "sweet spot" speed where your body allows you to run long distance in comfort.
4. Move beyond your intentions
Your best intentions will not bring you to finish line, unless you step on that treadmill or path walk and start running. Intentions no matter how good are not enough. Run!
5. Gear up
Grab a comfortable pair of running shoes for everyone's sake. After all you owe it to your feet.
6. Believe in yourself
Four months before I registered for the 21 km run, I knew it would be very difficult but it is possible. And "possible" is enough for me, I'll just figure out how to solve the "difficult" part within 4 months of training before the race..
7. Straighten up
Poor running posture, puts excessive force to your lower body that may lead to injury.
8. It's not how you started that matters
Every runner starts at a common starting point but not all make it to the end. You may start fast and strong but that does not guarantee completion. Warm up your body and mind, run comfortably, find your pace and finish well(without injuries please).
9. Work harder
To plan is one thing, execution is another story. That deliberate course of accelerating the speed, increasing distance or work out hours overtime to build up your endurance pays a lot.
10. Sense of direction
Running somehow de-clutters my thought life and gives me a different perspective. Why am I doing this? What really matters? When to stop? Questions that pop in my mind because I am freeing it from its usual worries and concerns.
11. Remove the irrelevant
Taking away the unnecessary load allows you to run freely not just in marathons but also in life. Leave all your grudges, fear and insecurities, these will weight you down. Instead run with hope and perseverance, believing that the finish line is just few steps away.
Finally if there is single most important thing I learned from running, that is I realized I am blessed. Blessed with two sturdy legs that can take me distance. Blessed with stamina that keeps me going further. Blessed with good amount of discipline to persevere during the training. Blessed with a strong heart that pumps blood and energy to my whole body. Blessed with a vision to look forward to the end knowing that the best is yet to come.

CrossFit gym's (or 'boxes') are like no other gyms. They are based around good coaching, functional equipment and most importantly a great community.
This is the foundation that CrossFit Aylesbury is built upon. Being a family-run box we already have a strong bond and sense of community, our aim is to create one big family here at CrossFit Aylesbury, where we can socialise and gather outside of the gym as well as throw down and have fun within it.

Story-telling often highlights a positive character development in the protagonist. In many works, particularly in the modern young adult genre, character development is seen through a main character that begins the story shy, introverted, but is taught by a handsome lad to break out of her shell. I am like this, in that I am very introverted. Quiet, I keep to myself, and prefer solitude. In the past year, I had a "like in the movies experience" in that I grew close to one of the most extroverted and social boys in the school. But what I confirmed from the loud boy with a quick step was that being introverted is not "cured" by being with an extrovert and most importantly that being an introvert is not something that needs to be cured. What I confirmed was that my being an introvert is not a crutch, but a gift.
Writing has been my obsession and passion since I was a kid. My first book was written in pencil in a spiral notebook when I was in fifth grade. It was a 70 page handwritten tale titled "Fluttery" about a fairytale land. Although I do not remember why I began writing, I remember why I continued writing. The nature of my writing changed dramatically throughout the years, from the fantasy novels of elementary and middle school to the short prose and poems that I write today. My writing has become something so much a part of me that one can never truly know me without knowing my work.
The boy who I befriended this past year, the extrovert, knew this before I was fully aware myself. Before he got to know me, he got to know my writing. I read to him what I had written about a boy with a red balloon who "forgets how to breathe when the moon is too bright." He went on to read about "salt water dreams and sugar water oceans" about "tones of sepia dripping down your spine and beating across your ribcage" about "troubled thoughts of how and why space was formed". I have realized, he came to know me more through snippets of prose than late night conversation.
If it were a chick-flick, he would have taught me that I have meaningful words to speak, and I would have become like him: social, outgoing. I am glad that he did not do this and I am glad that I did not become an extrovert because of him. Being quiet fuels my muse. There are million words surging within me. For all the times that I have kept to myself, for the wallflower that I am, my words have made it worth it. I have this anxiety with letting people look at my writing. Whereas I used to believe that I was anxious because I was unconfident in the content in quality, I now know that this is false. I am anxious about sharing my writings because I am quiet in nature, and by handing someone my writings, I am handing them the most private parts of myself, and all of the words that I have chosen not to speak aloud.
Through the act of writing, I become a new version of myself. It's an extroverted version, where I am open to both the paper and myself. My immediate reaction to when life takes a turn is to write about it. That extroverted boy, he went in a matter of months from assuming I was boring because I did not speak often, to claiming I was the most interesting person he knew, with worlds swimming in my head and ink always staining the paper.

Gingerbread Tree Program brings a smile to the faces of adults, children alikeDate: 12/09/2016
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Hanging from a large Christmas tree in the Central Offices of the Arkansas Department of Human Services in mid-November were more than 300 paper ornaments in the shape of a gingerbread man.
Each decoration represented a foster child between the ages of 12 months and 12 years. The name of a boy or girl, age, ethnicity, home-county, clothing sizes and a "wish list" of three preferred gifts of the child were listed on each one.
Employees, their families and friends agreed to sponsor a child – and some chose sibling groups – to ensure these vulnerable kids who might not find a lot of joy this holiday season would have some reason to smile.
"At this time of year, DHS employees both inside and outside the Division of Children and Family Services have an opportunity to impact a child in a very tangible way," said DCFS Division Director Mischa Martin. "The smiles they have on their faces when they bring in bags of toys and other gifts are contagious! It's a wonderful way to spread the Christmas spirit to those we work with, those we care for in the child welfare system, and our communities as a whole."
There are upward of 5,200 youths in Arkansas currently in foster care. Through no fault of their own, they are brought into care, sometimes with nothing other than the clothes on their backs. Taken from their home, oftentimes their schools and churches, it can be a sad time to be away from what's familiar despite the circumstances. While many foster kids will receive gifts from either a foster family or through a community outreach project, some reside in counties where resources are limited and opportunities to receive a quality gift are scarce.
This week, bikes have been rolling into DHS offices across the state, along with Barbies, Tonka trucks, books, stuffed animals and toys of every type. Meanwhile, fundraisers were held throughout the year, culminating with the Holiday Bazaar, for the purchase of high-ticket items and gift cards preferred by teens. And for a second consecutive year, nearly $10,000 was raised for adolescents in the child welfare system in Arkansas. In the next two weeks, the gifts will be delivered by family service workers to the kids in their care.
"The sparkle in a child's eye when they see the brightly wrapped packages and find a much-hoped for gift can bring a tear to mine," said Martin. "And we are callled to care for and love these children as our own, especially at this time of year."
It's through the generosity of DHS employees and others – but especially the hard work by Olivia Bates, Darlene McClendon, Keith Metz, Tricia Persons and Velma Sorrows who coordinate the program – that Christmas will be a little brighter for these tender hearts. If you would like to donate, you can still do so by calling Keith Metz at 501-683-2040.
A collection of Christmas gifts, provided by DHS sponsors, will soon be distributed to various youth in the state foster care system.

The generally favorable movie "Autómata" is a very good example how with a lower budget one can make a pretty nice film about the essence and the future of the human kind…
Life's goal is not to survive and exist at any cost. It is to live for the time being and to produce a trace behind it which will be in the future.
Maybe to some of its viewers this movie will seem like a combination of good ideas taken from various books and older movies, but to me it FEELS like a very good sci-fi post apocalyptic message to us. Not only because it is shot in my country, Bulgaria, but also, because the plot is weaved smartly and leads to a vast net of interconnected ideas played beautifully by a very good cast of actors.
But more important is that, as we watch the struggle of the main character Jacq Vaucan, we couldn't help, but feel empathy towards the robots which are presented rather weak and helpless. The impression is that we as a modern society do not give enough support to the weaker members of our society – be they poor or old, or crippled or even female. This is a very complex problem to me at least – the morality of our modern sophisticated 21 century life is no more different than what we can read in many books about the ways of life at earlier stages of our development as a society. What I mean is that Automata is aimed directly at our own behavior problems which are caused by the inexplicable lack of care for every living thing. Yes, many of us are trying to save and help others and the planet as a living organism, but overall we are losing the battle with our rooted egotism.
It is very important that we can see how a person can change for the better – even when under enormous pressure (family, work, health problems, etc). I completely understand that our mortal nature is a very good reason to be selfish and to strive for personal success harder than it is necessary. But it is our moral obligation to see that we cannot continue to live the way we are used to. As a species the human kind is destined to transform. And this change might not happen in a peaceful way. And it may not happen for the better. The universe is truly limitless and we can achieve immortality beyond the survival instinct. Replication is not the best process I think. More important is to innovate through work and patience. The time is our main limit, but we have to overcome the other real obstacle – our internal egotism. This is the main lesson from the beautiful movie Automata.
Yes, beautiful – because I like very much the aesthetics of the design and musical ideas behind it. Just look at the simplicity and functionality of the robots. And yet they have specific human features which make them very sympathetic. Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith and Robert Forster show us very distinctive and weary acting which is nice for such a sci-fi. The "sandy" desert landscape and the "rainy" futuristic city are perfect environment for the ambient music which we enjoy throughout the movie.
After all the words here I recommend that you enjoy this movie and contemplate after that on your own actions – are you affecting the society and the world the way you should be, or the way you want to?

01 Jul Consumer Protection Group Applauds FDA Ban on Trans Fats, but Undermines GMO Labeling Movement…
By Dr. Mercola
For the past six decades, saturated fat and cholesterol have been wrongfully vilified as the culprits of heart disease. Research shows it's actually refined carbs, sugar, and trans fats found in processed foods that are the real enemy.
The first scientist to publish evidence linking trans fats to heart disease while exonerating saturated fats was Dr. Fred Kummerow,1 author of Cholesterol Is Not the Culprit. That first article was published in 1957.
Now 100 years old, Dr. Kummerow has spent eight decades immersed in the science of lipids, cholesterol, and heart disease, and his lifetime work reveals that trans fat and oxidized cholesterol promote heart disease—not saturated fat, which actually has a beneficial impact on health.
FDA Finally Takes Affirmative Action Against Trans Fat
Trans fat, found in margarine, vegetable shortening, and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils became widely popularized as a "healthier alternative" to saturated animal fats like butter and lard around the mid-1950s.
Its beginnings go back 100 years though, to Procter & Gamble's creation of Crisco in 1911.
In 1961, the American Heart Association (AHA) began encouraging Americans to limit dietary fat, particularly animal fats, in order to reduce their risk of heart disease. In the decades since, despite low-fat diets becoming increasingly part of the norm, heart disease rates soared.
In 2013, Dr. Kummerow sued the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for failing to take action on trans fats in face of the overwhelming scientific evidence against it.
More than a decade earlier, in 2002, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) had even noted that there was "no safe level of trans fatty acids and people should eat as little of them as possible." Yet the FDA did nothing.
Three months after Dr. Kummerow filed his lawsuit however, the agency announced it was considering eliminating trans fat from the list of "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) list of food ingredients.
Then, on June 16, 2015, the FDA announced partially hydrogenated oils (a primary source of trans fat) will no longer be allowed in food unless authorized by the agency2,3,4,5 due to their health risks.
According to the FDA, this change may help prevent around 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 heart disease deaths each year.
The new regulation will take effect in 2018. In the interim, food companies have to either reformulate their products to remove partially hydrogenated oils, or file a limited use petition with the FDA to continue using them.
In order to gain approval, the company would have to provide evidence showing that trans fat is safe to consume—which could be difficult, considering the IOM's declaration that there's NO safe limit for these oils. But, as noted by CBS:6
"[F]ood companies are hoping for some exceptions. The Grocery Manufacturers Association, the main trade group for the food industry, is working with companies on a petition that would formally ask the FDA if it can say there is a "reasonable certainty of no harm" from some specific uses of the fats. It provided no specifics…
For now, the agency is recommending that consumers take a look at ingredient lists on packaged foods to make sure they don't contain partially hydrogenated oils. Once the three-year compliance period is up, none of those ingredients would be allowed unless FDA specifically approves them."
CSPI –The Consumer Group You Need to Stop Listening To
In response to the FDA's announcement, Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) told the New York Times:7
"This is the final nail in the coffin of trans fats. In terms of lives saved, I think eliminating trans fats is the single most important change to our food supply."
Their recent statement in support of the ban on trans fats is in stark contrast to their previous position on trans fats. As a consumer watchdog group focused on nutrition and food safety, many have and continue to look to CSPI for guidance, but history shows CSPI is seriously misguided when determining what's in the public's best interest.
In the 1980s, CSPI actually spearheaded a highly successful campaign against the use of healthy saturated fats, touting trans fats as a healthier alternative. It was largely the result of CSPI's campaign that fast-food restaurants replaced the use of beef tallow, palm oil, and coconut oil with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are high in synthetic trans fats linked to heart disease and other chronic diseases.
In 1988, CSPI even released an article8 praising trans fats, saying "there is little good evidence that trans fats cause any more harm than other fats" and "much of the anxiety over trans fats stems from their reputation as 'unnatural.'"
CSPI Accepts No Blame for Its Wildly Successful Promotion of Trans Fat
It wasn't until the 1990s that CSPI reversed their position on synthetic trans fats, but the damage had already been done.
Even to this day, many still mistakenly believe that margarine is a healthier choice than butter, and the CSPI's campaign to replace saturated animal and tropical oils with trans fats played an integral role in cementing this erroneous view in the public consciousness.
The group's successful influence on the food industry is discussed in David Schleifer's article, "The Perfect Solution: How Trans Fats Became the Healthy Replacement for Saturated Fats,"9 in which he notes that:
"Scholars routinely argue that corporations control US food production, with negative consequences for health…However, the transition from saturated to trans fats shows how activists can be part of spurring corporations to change."
CSPI rarely admits its errors however. In fact, rather than openly admitting it was flat out wrong about trans fats and had misled the public on this issue, CSPI simply deleted sections of its previous support of it from the web. This lack of forthrightness was also noted by Mary Enig in a 2003 article,10 in which she writes:
"On October 20, 1993, CSPI had the chutzpah to call a press conference in Washington, DC and lambast the major fast-food chains for doing what CSPI coerced them into doing, namely, using partially hydrogenated vegetable oils in their deep fat-fryers.
On that date, CSPI, an eager proponent of partially hydrogenated oils for many years, even when their adverse health effects were apparent, reversed its position after an onslaught of adverse medical reports linking trans fatty acids in these processed oils to coronary heart disease and cancer. Instead of accepting the blame, CSPI pleaded 'not guilty,' claiming that the fault lay with the major fast-food chains–including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and Kentucky Fried Chicken, because they 'falsely claim to use '100% vegetable oil' when they actually use hydrogenated shortening'…
Thanks to CSPI, healthy traditional fats have almost completely disappeared from the food supply, replaced by manufactured trans fats known to cause many diseases. By 1990, most fast food chains had switched to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil…
Who benefits? Soy, or course. Eighty percent of all partially hydrogenated oil used in processed foods in the US comes from soy, as does 70 percent of all liquid oil. CSPI claims that its support comes from subscribers to its Nutrition Action newsletter… but CSPI is extremely secretive about the value of its assets, salaries paid and use of its revenues. If CSPI has large donors, they're not telling who they are, but in fact, in CSPI's January, 1991 newsletter, Jacobson notes that 'our effort was ultimately joined… by the American Soybean Association.'"
Beware: 100% Vegetable Oil May Be Just as Hazardous as Partially Hydrogenated Oil
Today, many restaurants have reverted to using 100% vegetable oils (such as peanut, corn, and soy oil) for frying. But research shows these oils have the worrisome problem of degrading into even more toxic oxidation products when heated, so they're probably no better than partially hydrogenated oils. Some of these oxidation products include cyclic aldehydes, which are even more harmful than trans fats. So the issue of WHAT the industry replaces trans fats with is of major importance. As noted by Nina Teicholz, one of the first investigative journalists to report on the dangers of trans fats 10 years ago:
"A group doing research on animals have found that at fairly low levels of exposure, these aldehydes caused tremendous inflammation, which is related to heart disease. They oxidized LDL cholesterol, which is thought to be the LDL cholesterol that becomes dangerous. There's a link to heart disease. There's also some evidence that links these aldehydes in particular to Alzheimer's. They seem to have a very severe effect on the body."
BEWARE: CSPI Just Sold You Out to GMO Industry
This tendency to fall in line with industry science and propaganda and then quietly reversing position when that position becomes more or less impossible to maintain seems to be a trend within the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). For example, it was only in 2013 that CSPI finally downgraded the artificial sweetener Splenda from its former "safe" category to one of "caution." I remember pleading with Michael Jacobson, their director, many years ago to reevaluate his position, but at the time he was convinced of Splenda's safety. The scientific evidence strongly suggests artificial sweeteners are just as bad, and in some ways more harmful, than sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
Worse than that though is its stand on genetically engineered organisms (GMOs) in food. Greg Jaffe, director of CSPI's Biotechnology Project, completely undermined the GMO labeling movement in his testimony at a recent hearing11 on the Pompeo bill H.R. 1599, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, colloquially known as the Denying Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act, as it strips states' of their right to implement food labeling laws and regulations that restricts or bans the growing of GMO crops.
According to polls, over 90 percent of Americans now want GMO labeling. Yet, astonishingly, Jaffe says he's not sure consumers really want to know whether foods contain GMOs, despite what the polls say! This is an inexcusable position for a consumer protection group, as far as I'm concerned. You can listen to his statements in the following video below, where you will hear he has the audacity to claim there are no studies indicating any harm from GMOs. This is the type of ignorant position they held on trans fats and artificial sweeteners. At least you can say one thing about CSPI, they are consistently reprehensible ignorant on important health issue and need to be ignored.
Nobody Expects a Transgenic Organism on Their Plate
It really should be crystal clear that consumers should have a right to know about GMOs in their food. Researchers have demonstrated there are compositional differences between GE crops and conventional crops,12 with glyphosate-tolerant GE soybeans containing high residues of glyphosate (a Class 2A probable human carcinogen13) and AMPA. The primary trait of GMO crops is glyphosate resistance, they can withstand multiple applications of glyphosate and can therefore absorb more of it.
Another point that justifies labeling of GMOs is the fact that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) admits they do not test for glyphosate residues because it's too expensive to do so.14 Without such testing, GMO labeling is even more important, as it's quite clear that glyphosate-tolerant GE crops are significantly contaminated with this toxic chemical that cannot be washed off, as it permeates every single cell of the treated plant, from root to tip. The anti-labeling proponents cannot logically argue any of these points; they're indisputable, and GMO labeling is massively supported because consumers do demand the right to know.
CSPI and our federal government remain blind to these facts, but regardless, these transgenic organisms are not a consumer expectation, and should therefore be labeled. Consider the new GE salmon spliced with eel genes… Salmon is labeled wild caught or farmed, but will not be labeled if genetically spliced with eel, which makes it a different version of the species altogether. Does that really make sense? What consumer reasonably expects a salmon to be spliced with eel?
Who Knew? CSPI Is Actually PRO-GMO!
Any so-called consumer protection group refusing to acknowledge these facts is simply not a real consumer watchdog. And CSPI's Greg Jaffe definitely appears to be pro-GMO, having discussed the merits of GE foods in a June 2014 Food Product and Design interview,15 in which he states that: "While there will continue to be demand for non-GMO ingredients, I do think it will continue to be a small specialty market." When asked about consumer misconceptions surrounding GMOs, Jaffe claims consumers don't realize the technology simply involves "adding one or two genes in a very precise way to a crop that already has thousands of genes," falsely insinuating that doing so leads to completely predictable results.
In fact, he states that "some consumers incorrectly believe that foods made from the current GE crops are not safe to eat," and then goes on to use the oft-repeated but false industry claim that "there is a strong international consensus from both scientific regulatory bodies… as well as scientific societies… that the foods made from the current GE crops are safe to eat."
CSPI's executive director, Michael Jacobson is quoted16 as making a similar statement in July 2014, when he spoke at an American Soybean Association (ASA) forum saying: Many people have been made to fear genetically engineered ingredients, and it's totally irrational." That too raises questions about just how close the relationship is between the CSPI and the ASA—a group coincidentally based in St. Louis, where Monsanto also has its headquarters. Monsanto is also listed as one of ASA's biotech working group partners.17
Meanwhile, on January 24, 2015, a statement signed by 300 scientists, researchers, physicians, and scholars was published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Sciences Europe,18 asserting that there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMOs. Moreover, the paper, aptly titled "No Scientific Consensus on GMO Safety", states that the claim of scientific consensus on GMO safety is in actuality "an artificial construct that has been falsely perpetuated." The paper also notes that such a claim "is misleading and misrepresents or outright ignores the currently available scientific evidence and the broad diversity of scientific opinions among scientists on this issue."
If the CSPI's mission is to "represent citizen's interests" and "ensure advances in science are used for the public's good," as stated in its mission statement,19 how does it justify its anti-consumer position on labeling GMOs? It seems fairly irreconcilable. On the other hand, the CSPI contradicts itself yet again when talking about the dangers of corn and soy monocultures, the chemical dependence of these crops, and how it stresses the environment.20 It seems they simply cannot connect the dots when it comes to GMO's…
Why It Took So Long to Learn the Truth About Trans Fats
Getting back to trans fats, CSPI is not solely to blame for the industry-wide replacement of healthy saturated fats with artery-clogging trans fats. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Heart Association (AHA) were also avid promoters of this switch, as discussed in Judy Shaw's book, Trans Fats.21
Well-respected medical journals such as the JAMA published ads promoting Wesson corn oil for lowering cholesterol, and Antonio Gotto Jr, then president of the AHA sent his personal endorsement of Puritan corn oil to doctors. Dr. William Castelli, who led the Framingham Heart Study, also gave Puritan his personal endorsement. As Shaw notes in her book:
"The influence of these physicians was profound. Their promotional advocacy and the endorsements by science and government prompted other doctors to encourage their patients to drastically modify their eating habits. Margarine was the new prescription. There seemed to be no dissenting voice, and the America public had no reason to be skeptical."

Meanwhile, research such as that by Dr. Kummerow—which clearly showed trans fats were worse than saturated fat ever could be—was quietly ignored. Heart disease isn't the only health problem associated with trans fats. Research has implicated trans fats in other diseases as well. Most recently, it's been found to interfere with memory.22 As reported by Reuters:23
"It's not clear if… trans fats might interfere with memory by directly affecting the nervous system, or by contributing to overall cardiovascular disease, which harms the brain as well, researchers say… [Trans fats] had already been linked to poorer lipid profiles, including higher 'bad' LDL cholesterol, worse metabolic function, insulin resistance, inflammation and poorer cardiac and general health before the new study investigated potential memory issues…
Among men under age 45, increasing dietary trans fatty acid consumption was associated with decreasing word recall, with each additional gram of trans fat per day matched to 0.76 fewer words identified correctly. At the time of the study, participants' trans fat consumption ranged up to 28 grams a day, the researchers write. That would translate to 21 fewer correct word-recall responses out of an average normal score of 86.
'A lot of us are involved in jobs where words are important,' [lead author] Golomb told Reuters Health. A decrease of only a few words on this recall test can make a difference, she said, and it's reasonable to think that other areas of memory might also be associated with trans fats."
Healthy Eating Guidelines for the 21st Century
So, what's the general 21st century revised rule for healthy living and eating? One of the most important points is that you do not need to avoid saturated fats. Saturated fats were unfairly condemned in the 1950s based on very primitive evidence that has since been re-analyzed. The evidence now clearly shows that saturated fats do not cause heart disease. Moreover, your body needs healthy unheated raw saturated fats for proper function of your:
Cell membranes Heart Bones (to assimilate calcium) Liver Lungs Hormones Immune system Satiety (reducing hunger) Genetic regulation
When it comes to cooking fats, few compare to tallow and lard in terms of health benefits and safety. These are the cooking fats that were originally used, and they're excellent frying fats. Coconut oil is also very stable at higher temperatures, and is another excellent choice for cooking and baking.

Mercure Imlauer Nestroy Wien
The Mercure Imlauer Nestroy Wien is located in district 2, only a short underground ride to the conference venue, and just 5-10 minutes walk to the city centre. Rooms are decent and there is free WiFi. The hotel bar doesn't appear to be open in the evening, but there is a rather lovely bar a few doors down that more than makes up for it. :)
Note: there are steps at the front door, and some rooms require further steps, despite a lift.
Staying There
Getting There

Confessions of a Frustrated Millenial focuses on the lives of three women of colour from Chicago, who are in their late twenties are plagued with the real struggles of being a millennial. All three graduated from different colleges ('university' to my UK peeps) with big career dreams which eventually morphe into desperate situations of unfulfillment and disillusionment.
Meet the Millennials
Meet Natasha, an overworked and underappreciated marketing coordinator at loggerheads with her boss. Then there is Danielle, an aspiring Broadway actress who has played a few minor stage roles but is still due her big break. And finally Jayla, a law graduate at her witts end and in total despair after a year of search and rejection. Confessions of a Frustrated Millenial will take you on these ladies' separate journeys as life's unexpected turns send them on a mission to find their purpose and passion.
What is a Millennial?
The word is one of those terms that have come into existence in our modern day and is used to describe people currently in their 20s and 30s. As millennials, we are famed for having to fight a competitive jobs market, an unattainable housing ladder, and mounting student debt. But remarkably our difficulties have forced us to think outside of the box and tap into our creativity in order to survive. We are the generation who has had to fight for our place in a troubled economy and this is embodied within the narrative of Confessions of a Frustrated Millenial.
Reading the Book is like Chilling with Friends over a Glass of Wine
What I absolutely adored about the book is that the text is so real and relatable. Reading it was like sitting in my living room with my three girlfriends, and some wine whilst gisting about life. When Jayla, recounts the five stages a new graduate goes through when searching for a job, from happiness to desperation, I found myself nodding 'yep, yep, yep'.
There is also a scene where Natasha gets annoyed at a colleague wanting to touch her freshly braided hair because 'it looks so different', which made me think about my own battles with coworkers who constantly invade my personal space everytime I walk into work with a new hairstyle.
Like all great books, there were moments that made me well up with emotion. A heartfelt scene between Jayla and her mother after yet another job rejection took me back to my time when I was on my own desperate search. This is the secret of Confessions of a Frustrated Millenial. It's about life. And like real life, it's not just about one thing: the confrontation of and triumphs over personal struggle, heartbreak (yes employers can also break your heart), romance and self-acceptance are all themes that come into play, and all these themes are laced with the touch issue of race. Because as if being an inexperienced graduate is not enough, our ladies also have to deal with one more giant barrier to success: being black. BUT throughout the book, I could just feel the hand of God in these women's lives (am I being a bit too dramatic?)
What also makes the text so relevant is that it bears all the hallmarks of the modern age. Embedded in the storyline are the deception of social media, reality TV, the world of blogging, online business and other phenomena that have taken centre stage in recent times. Furthermore, the story is written from the first-person point of view and loaded with emotion. The fact that the book is essentially three storylines (or three branches of the same tree) gives the reader a real panoramic view of millennial life. However, I can't help but wonder how much more depth each of the storylines might have had if they were allowed to be standalone novels.
Whilst reading, I had this strange feeling of the author, Eugenia R. Jefferson being my spirit sister because the storylines matched parts of my own story so well. When I got to the last page and saw her short bio, I thought to myself 'that is why!' She's a Journalism graduate who also holds a Masters in Integrated Marketing Communications!
My Final Thoughts
I hope by now, you trust me enough to know that when I say a book is a wise investment, it really is. Self-help books are not my go-to, but this novel educated and preached to my soul in so many ways. I learned that the route to success is no straight path. It also had me thinking about what my life would be like in the next five years. Read the book, and you'll know what I am speaking about. And sisters around the world, do not be put off by the fact that it's set in America. The struggles which bind us are the same, and are real!
Please, I need you to not hesitate any further. Order your copy of Confessions of a Frustrated Millenial here immediately!

My piece will be written below her instructions:
The introductory prompt is:
"Take a trip down memory lane and share your best vacation/trip/holiday memory."
I don't know how this will turn out, or if you guys are interested, but I know I have many nonfiction writers who follow me and I want to encourage everyone to write.
If a nonfiction prompt is something you'd be interested in continuing, let me know in the comments 🙂
It was October of 1984 and I had saved all my monies to fly out to Colorado to visit my boyfriend at the time. He was stationed at Peterson Airforce Base in Colorado Springs. It had been the first time ever for me to travel by myself, let alone fly for the first time.
I was born and raised in New Jersey, and the most traveling I really ever did was with my family, going up and down the East Coast of the United States. So, you can probably imagine how excited I was to make this trip. Not only to see my boyfriend of four years but to actually travel to the Midwest.
When I landed in Colorado, it was late in the evening, so there really wasn't much to see except lights from other cars and street lamps.
My boyfriend, Jim and I got settled in a hotel he booked and ordered food to be delivered. Naturally, it was a wonderful reunion since we had not seen each other in over eight months. (Those details, I'll leave out). 😉
The morning arrived and I dashed out of the bed. I pulled the curtain rod to part the curtains… There they were, The Colorado Rocky Mountains in all their glory. I felt as if I would fall backward because the hotel was so close to them.
I was elated and couldn't wait to take a drive up into the mountains. The crisp clean air, and the scenic views at every turn. I cannot remember the name of the little mining town we drove into, but we pulled over to get out of the jeep to take a look.
Awestruck, is the best way to describe the feeling I had standing atop this mountain. A couple of inches of snow on the ground, and tiny little flowers peeking out in all different colors. Whisps of clouds going between the mountain tops and the freshness of the air was by far the best air I ever drew into my lungs. I had never seen a sight so beautiful in my short life.
I was only eighteen-years-old and I felt this sense of freedom…I was this mere speck on the planet. This was all so magical to me. My boyfriend was enjoying my excitement and didn't think he could compete with all that I was taking in around me. That was up until he got down on one knee and proposed to me.
Nothing in the world could have been more perfect, or so I thought.
After a week of visiting with my "now" fiance', and traveling all over Colorado within a matter of a week, the trip was coming to a close. It was time for me to go back to New Jersey.
Within four months of me being back in my home state, I had started a new job and moved out of my parent's house. I thought everything was perfect as I began to plan our wedding.
All things do eventually come to an end though. Especially, when you call him and his pilot buddy that he was bunking with asked if this was his girlfriend, Michelle?
I think for obvious reasons, I called off the engagement. The funny part of it all was, I wasn't all that heartbroken over it. Everyone had warned me that long distance relationships were hard to keep going, I suppose it was better I found out then, then while I was married to a cheating fool.
At least I still have Colorado in my memory as being one of the prettiest states I had ever seen. One day, I don't know if it will ever happen again, but I'd love to go back up into the Rockies and breathe in that fresh air and see the tiny petals in many colors, peek again through the snow.
The End.

For Christmas dinner this year I made a stuffed beef tenderloin roast. It was a whole beef tenderloin that I butterflied open and stuffed with a mixture of herbs and vegetables.
I started by sauteing chopped crimini mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a mixture of butter and olive oil until they were softened. I then de-glazed the pan with some red wine, added some fresh rosemary and thyme, and cooked the mixture until it was slightly reduced.
The beef was seasoned on all sides with salt and pepper and then the mixture was spread out on one side. With the some help, I tied up the beef with butcher string to close it up and create a roast.The roast was then rubbed with a little vegetable oil to get it ready for the grill. I prefer to use vegetable oil over olive oil when I am going to cook something over very high heat because its smoke point is so much higher and it will hold up better during the cooking. I cooked the roast over lump charcoal on my grill. I started by searing all sides of the roast over high direct heat to develop a crust. Then the roast was moved off to one side and cooked with indirect heat until my remote thermometer registered 135 degrees. The roast was then pulled from the grill and wrapped in foil. Once wrapped in foil to rest the temperature continues to climb 5-10 more degrees.
We chose some simple side dishes for this meal. I made roasted broccoli and criss- cross potatoes.
The broccoli was made by marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, pepper, chopped garlic, and rice wine vinegar. It was roasted on a foil lined sheet pan at 375 degrees for about 35-40 minutes until some of the edges started to get a nice char on them.
The potatoes are made by first slicing large baking potatoes in half. Then you can slice shallow cuts through the potato in opposite directions. Rub the potatoes with salt pepper and good paprika and then baste very liberally with melted butter. The potatoes get baked at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until crusty and tender.

Hundreds of Gazans drown while fleeing to Europetrying to flee to Europe.
According to Wednesday's daily Haaretz, the Palestinian Embassy in Greece reported that the ship that sank off the coast of Malta was carrying more than 450 passengers, most of them Gaza Palestinians. Other reports say the vessel was rammed intentionally by another ship run by rival smugglers.
The Gaza-based human rights group Adamir collected the names of more than 400 missing people. "No one knows where they are; the whole Gaza Strip is talking about it. It's such a painful story, as if it's not enough what happened in the last war and now another blow comes," Adamir director Halil Abu Shamala told Haaretz, noting that most of the passengers were young people but that there were also whole families aboard.
At least 15 Palestinians drowned when another ship sank off the Egyptian coast near Alexandria on Saturday.
Abu Ahmed, who lost his son on that ship, explained to Haaretz that most of the Gazans leave through tunnels that originate in the southern Gaza town of Rafah and come out on the Egyptian side of Rafah.
One Gazan involved in such operations told Haaretz: "This trip costs between $3500 to $4000 dollars a person. It's a relatively small tunnel; most of the big ones have been blocked by the Egyptians. People crawl dozens of meters and at the end of the tunnel on the Egyptian side of Rafah a minibus or other vehicle waits for them and takes them to Port Said."
He added that Egyptian security officials are bribed to look the other way.
Haaretz heard testimony that the refugees board small boats, sometimes dozens per boat. Once they leave Egyptian territorial waters they switch to another boat that in most cases sails to Italy. The trip usually takes about a week.
One refugee told Haaretz that when the boat approaches the shore it issues a distress call and Italian navy and Red Cross ships pick them up. In other cases, people jump into the water with life jackets, and are rescued by the Coast Guard or the Red Cross.Evelyn Gordon points out that 'Palestinian refugees' are the only refugees in the world who are denied the right of resettlement.
The news that hundreds of Palestinians from Gaza drowned last week when the boats in which they were trying to reach Europe sank once again highlights the hypocrisy of the world's attitude toward the Palestinians. After all, the "international community" has designated two-thirds of all Gaza residents as bona fide refugees, even though the vast majority of them were born in Gaza and have lived there all their lives. And as bona fide refugees, they shouldn't have had to board rickety smugglers' boats in a desperate attempt to reach Europe; they should have been able to apply to the UN for orderly resettlement right from their refugee camps, just as thousands of other refugees do every year. But they can't, because Palestinians are the only refugees in the world who are denied the basic right of resettlement.
Granted, they are also the only "refugees" in the world for whom refugeehood is an inheritable status that can be passed down to one's descendants in perpetuity, generation after generation. Under the definition used by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which deals with all the world's refugees except Palestinians, only a few thousand elderly Gazans who were personally displaced in 1948 would be considered refugees today, rather than the 1.2 million actually on UN rolls. So if the "international community" were to argue that Gazans don't deserve a right to resettlement because they aren't really refugees, that would be perfectly legitimate.
But it doesn't. In fact, not only has the world adopted the unique definition of refugeehood promulgated by the Palestinians' personal refugee agency, UNRWA, but it actively supports this definition by funding UNRWA's ever-expanding budget to keep pace with its ever-expanding number of "refugees." And once having accepted the claim that these born-and-bred Gazans are actually refugees from an Israel they've never seen, the international community is morally obligated to ensure that they enjoy the same rights as all other refugees.
Instead, Palestinians are the only refugees in the world who are denied the right of resettlement. Whereas UNHCR resettles tens of thousands of refugees every year, UNRWA hasn't resettled a single refugee in its 65 years of existence. On the contrary, the schools it runs for Palestinian refugees indoctrinate them from kindergarten on that there is one, and only one, way for them to end their refugee status: by "returning" to the towns or villages in Israel that their ancestors fled–which most of them have never seen, and some of which no longer even exist. In short, since Israel would never voluntarily accept all five million "refugees" on UNRWA's rolls, it's telling them that the only solution to their refugeehood is Israel's destruction.But as long as there are no Jews killing the 'Palestinian refugees'... what difference does it make?

Heres a heart rending story about a missing child. Hes been missing since November.
VigilM is working closely with parents of children and children with special needs to keep them safe. Kids are safe at home and safe at school. But its in between that there is a gray area.
VigilM allows parents to define Safezones. They get automatic alerts whenever their children step in or step out of the zone. Plus SMS querying allows them to track their wards via text messages.

Each month I offer a Reiki Clinic in Oak Park, Illinois that serves the Greater Chicago area, including River Forest and Forest Park.
Reiki Clinic, also sometimes called, a "Reiki Circle" or a "Reiki Share," is an opportunity for those new to the practice to learn about this hands-on healing method with a sample treatment that usually lasts about 15-20 minutes. It is also an opportunity for practitioners to offer Reiki to others and, if time permits, receive a treatment as well. Often there are two Reiki Masters attending the Clinic and, at least, one Level 2 practitioner.
For someone new to Reiki, the Clinic offers a unique opportunity to experience a multi-hands Reiki session whereas a regular session is usually offered by only one practitioner but is longer in length. However, as with any Reiki session, regardless of its length, the recipient is always in charge and will often experience deep relaxation, greater clarity, improved healing, and a decrease in anxiety and depression. Clinic allows one to try out Reiki with a minimal investment of time and money. Also, this gathering is a great opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others in the community.
I hope you'll join us at the next Reiki Clinic!
2019 Dates: (Saturdays from 3-5 p.m.)
- January 19th
- February 23rd

This choplifter fan remake has beautiful graphics, but that's all. the gameplay lacks many things and didn't remade properly.
First thing to critize is the turning control. in original choplifter (include apple 2 and c64. i had played MSX ,SG-1000, and SMS version but recently played c64 and apple 2 versions too), pressing turning(for c64 holding the butten) shortly to center the chopper, and keep pressing to turn it to the opposite direction. when the helicopter is centered, pressing the arrow and turning key to turn to that direction. but in this remake, not only turning speed is very slow, the chopper always turn in the pattern of center - right - center - left. It's very annoying when i want to turn to left but chopper turns to right.
Second is the lack of enemies. i'm not talking about SMS version which features new enemies, but the original apple 2 and C64 version. Probably the developer had't know, but there are actually two kinds of enemies for jet fighters and saucers.
For jet fighters there are bombers who turn to drop the bomb and fly away, and fighters who hover in the air and try to shoot the helicopter with air-to-air missiles. and for saucers some saucers try to crash with the helicopter and some saucers dorp bombs and kill the hostages. In this remake you can only see bombers and suicide saucers.
Third is about the helicopter's weapons. the chopper's turret and bomb doesn't have any fire sound, which is just irony. Also the bombs doesn't affect by the helicopter's movement while it does in original. if you move forward and drop bombs, the bombs move to the opposite direction and disappears.
Fourth is the hostages' AI. in the original(include c64 and apple 2) the hostages stop and shake their hands when the helicopter is coming or safely rescued and moving to the office. however, when the helicopter is landed and waiting for board, they keep running to the helicopter for their lives. But in this remake hostages suddenly stop and shake their hands while i'm waiting for board, which is stifling when jet fighters or tanks are coming.
Overall, Choplifter 2nd sortie is far from good classic remake. the developer had to replay the classic choplifter seriously before starting the game. but the beautiful and smooth graphics are worth to be appreciated.

I begin in the Name of God.
With the help of God, I will begin putting up pictures that I have taken, which I think are of decent quality to be called Good. But like the quote goes 'A picture paints a thousand words,' I will begin to explain what each picture means to me, and hopefully not to bore you in any way, it will be short and simple.
This picture was taken at 'El Corredor del Boyar' while we were going to Ronda. At times like this, I wished I had a SLR, and knew how to use one properly. This view was astonishing; it was just spectacular on so many levels. It by far made my year, and is truly one of my favourite photos and the image is captured in my mind forever.
What makes this picture special is that the trip itself was special. I understood God, and what he had done for me, and how one can never have enough faith in Him, and never be truly thankful for everything He has done.
So God, Thank you for everything you have given me.

Pepsi Rising Above Negativity
Pepsi plugs into a classic teenage dream with "Rising", a TV advert in which a young man climbs a pile of seemingly impossible odds to fulfil his goals, finally reaching the mantra, "I can". A young man sips on a can of Pepsi as he surveys a huge mound of objects. He sets off to climb through the symbolic collection, yelling "I can't hear you" every time his peers, family and teachers discourage his dream.
Click on the image below to play the Pepsi Rising video.
Pepsi Rising was developed for PepsiCo International at CLM BBDO, Boulogne Billancourt, Paris, France, by executive creative directors Gilles Fichteberg and Jean-François Sacco, art director David Bertram, copywriter Leo Berne and agency producer France Monnet.
Filming was shot by director Daniel Kleinman via Rattling Stick, London, with producer Johnnie Frankel and director of photography Stephen Blackman.
Post production was done at Framestore. Music was provided by Peter Raeburn and Nick Foster at Soundtree. Sound was produced at AOC.

Asia-Pacific Privacy Law
From lawbrain.com
Privacy law in the Asia-Pacific region is concerned with the protection and preservation of the privacy rights of citizens, especially the exchange of citizen data to other countries.
Countries that are members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) encompass the majority of the privacy laws of the Asia-Pacific region. Due to the variety of nations involved in this organization, the approaches to privacy law development are varied. Australia is similar to Canada in that it follows a co-regulatory approach where industry develops and enforces the privacy laws, but another privacy agency oversees the enforcement of these laws. Japan and Singapore are similar to the U.S. by following a self-regulatory model whereby organizations are required to follow a code of practices established by a company or industry body. Other countries offer a technology based approach by stating what technical security measures must be in place in order to protect personal information of an individual.
Information Privacy Principles
Privacy laws developed in the Asia-Pacific region are primarily based on the APEC Privacy Framework.[1] This privacy framework was based on the OECD privacy guidelines[2] and fair information practices.
The APEC information privacy principles include:
- Principle 1: Preventing Harm
- Principle 2: Notice
- Principle 3: Collection Limitations
- Principle 4: Uses of Personal Information
- Principle 5: Choice
- Principle 6: Integrity of Personal Information
- Principle 7: Security Safeguards
- Principle 8: Access and Correction
- Principle 9: Accountability
Cross-Border Data Flows
Cross-border information flows between economies around the Pacific Rim have dramatically increased in volume as IT businesses globalize their information processing services via the Internet. Cross-border privacy rules (CBPRs) are a set of rules developed by an organization who commits to apply these rules to its activities involving transfers of personal information across borders. Business, government and consumer organizations utilize the implementation of CBPRs as a way of ensuring accountability of information flows to make organizations keep their original privacy promise to the customer.[3]
Australian privacy laws are based on an early adoption of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) Guidelines Governing the Protection of Privacy & Transborder Data Flows of Personal Data.[5] Like Canada, Australia has multiple states and territories that create their own laws. Therefore, Australia has a number of comprehensive laws specific to privacy and data protection.
New Zealand[6]
- Bill of Rights Act, Article 21
- Privacy Act (1993)[7]
The Privacy Act was influenced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data.[8] The Act both promotes and protects the privacy of individuals. It is applied in both public and private sectors.
There are 12 information privacy principles[9] that make up the Privacy act. These principles are basic fair information practices and include:
- Principle 1: Purpose of collection of personal information
- Principle 2: Source of personal information
- Principle 3: Collection of information
- Principle 4: Manner of collection of personal information
- Principle 5: Storage and security of personal information
- Principle 6: Access to personal information
- Principle 7: Correction of personal information
- Principle 8: Accuracy of personal information to be checked before use
- Principle 9: Personal information not to be kept for longer than necessary
- Principle 10: Limits on use of personal information
- Principle 11: Limits on disclosure of personal information
- Principle 12: Unique identifiers
The Privacy Act also contains four public register privacy principles.[10] These principles limit:
- the manner in which information can be made available from public registers
- re-sorting or combining public register information for commercial gain
- electronic transmission of public registers
- charging for access to public register information
Oversight: New Zealand Privacy Commissioner[11]
- Constitution, Articles 38, 39 & 40[13]
Article 38: The personal dignity of citizens is inviolable. Insult, libel, false charge or frame-up directed against citizens by any means is prohibited.
Article 39: The home of citizens of the People's Republic of China is inviolable. Unlawful search of, or intrusion into, a citizen's home is prohibited.
Article 40: The freedom and privacy of correspondence of citizens of the People's Republic of China are protected by law. No organization or individual may, on any ground, infringe upon the freedom and privacy of citizens' correspondence except in cases where, to meet the needs of state security or of investigation into criminal offences, public security or procuratorial organs are permitted to censor correspondence in accordance with procedures prescribed by law.
- P.R.C. Criminal Law Amendment VII, [Article 253][14]
- P.R.C. Tort Liability Law
Hong Kong[15]
- Basic Law, Articles 29 & 30
- Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance[16]
- The Information Technology Act[18]
- Act on the Protection of Personal Information (JPIPA) [20]
Japan's Personal Information Protection Act (JPIPA) requires businesses to communicate their purpose in collecting and using personal information. They must also take reasonable steps to protect personal information from disclosure, unauthorized use or destruction. The law outlines potential fines and punishments for organizations that do not comply. JPIPA was enacted in order to protect individuals' rights and personal information while preserving the usefulness of information technology and personal information for legitimate purposes.
- Act on the Protection of Personal Information Held by Administrative Organs[21]
The Act on the Protection of Personal Information Held by Administrative Organs (public sector/government) protects the rights and interests of individuals while achieving proper and smooth administrative management by providing for the basic matters concerning the handling of personal information in such organs. The law restricts the retention of personal infomration unless it is required for performing the duties required by law and even then such retention must be specified prior to collection. Maintaining the accuracy, restrictive use, and security controls of personal information held by the Japanese government falls under this law. Additionally, notice must be given prior to any personal data being retained in a personal information file held by the government.
- Personal Data Protection Act[22]
Macau's Personal Data Protection Act applies to the processing of personal data intended to form part of manual filing systems. This law applies to video surveillance and other forms of capture, processing and dissemination of sound and images allowing persons to be identified.
Oversight: Office for Personal Data Protection[23]
- Personal Data Protection Bill (PDP)
- Law of Mongolia on Telecommunications[25]
- Constitution: Bill of Rights, Sections 2, 3 & 7
- Government Data Privacy Protection Act[27]
- Model Data Protection Code[29]
Singapore has not yet enacted a data protection/privacy legislation. However, a voluntary, industry-based self-regulatory model code exists called the Model Data Protection Code. This code establishes minimum standards for electronic data protection that is based on 10 principles that guide on issues of use, collection, accuracy and dissemination of personal data. The Model Data Protection Code incorporates international standards of data protection regimes within its guidelines. Under this data protection regime, the flow of personal data to countries without adequate data protection schemes is restricted.[30] The application of this code is specific to those private sector organizations that collect and install personal data in electronic form, online or offline, using the Internet or any other electronic media.[31] While the Model Code is not a compulsory compliance requirement for businesses, it is useful for businesses that are expanding their international outsourcing activities.[32]
The Model Code was not intended to replace a comprehensive data protection/privacy law, but rather to be used as an interim measure until such legislation was enacted.
- Electronic Transactions Act [33]
Oversight: Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA)[34]
South Korea[35]
- Constitution, Articles 16, 17 & 18[36]
Article 16: All citizens are free from intrusion into their place of residence. In case of search or seizure in a residence, a warrant issued by a judge upon request of a prosecutor has to be presented.
Article 17: The privacy of no citizen may be infringed.
Article 18: The secrecy of correspondence of no citizen may be infringed.
- Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Data Protection[37](Information Protection Act)
The Information Protection Act is a law that applies to the private sector. However, this law only applies to the information and telecommunications industries that are providers of information and communications services (e.g. common carriers, Internet service providers, content providers, etc.). The Act also covers specific offline service providers (e.g. travel agencies, airlines, hotels, and educational institutes).
- Act on the Protection of Personal Information Maintained by Public Agencies[38]
The Act on the Protection of Personal Information Maintained by Public Agencies was endacted to protect the rights and benefits of all citizens by the establishment of necessary guidelines concerning the protection of private information managed by computers of public agencies.
