They are dodgy, have slave-like contracts, and will take up to 80% of your pay. This is why you so often see people like Russians or Nigerians playing Americans (poorly). I had a Colombian friend some years back who was appearing on a major network show regularly and found out that his agency was getting paid W3,000,000 monthly for his salary while he only received W300,000. People in these situations are on valid visas for their TV work, but they often have to moonlight under the table to make ends meet, and that's when you'll see them doing things like teaching illegally. The other way TV networks get cheap foreigners is from agents who hang around places like Yonsei KLI and get youngsters on student visas who aren't restricted from such part time work. aekimcheehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-5857593179438092942016-11-30T22:50:02.381+09:002016-11-30T22:50:02.381+09:00Seoul National University Professor of Internation...Seoul National University Professor of International Law Lee Jae-Min weighs in with a consideration of the mandatory in-country HIV testing program and the reputation damage it's doing to the country.

They started the night ...I was there for the riots. They started the night before at Camp Howard, then spread. I was the Military Police Desk Sgt at camp Howard when it started. A large black man stationed at Camp Howard from Birmingham Alabama, last name McClelland got drunk in the village, and began beating up Koreans. Three or four at a time, which he had done in the past. Me and another MP went down there and picked him up, and took him back to his unit, and returned to the village to make sure everything had calmed down there. McCleland decided he was going back to the ville after we left. Awhile later back at the MP station I got a call that McCleland was laying outside the gate beaten, and in real bad shape. By the time I got there others had got McCleland in the gate, however the Korean mob had grown to about three hundred people with load speakers, and throwing rocks, demanding that we turn over all blacks on the compound to them. They said they did want the white soldiers, only blacks. As I entered the gatehouse to call Camp Humphries for backup patrols, the Koreans stormed the gate, on trying to hit me in the head with a brick. I stuck a loaded and chambered 45 barrell in his ear, and he took off. When four jeeps loaded with MP's arrived from Humphries, the first jeep drove right thru the crowd wide open and escaped injury. The other jeeps were not so lucky. they were stoned, and crashed into concrete abutments at the gate. We had to medivac several out, one with a broken leg. The Koreans again stormed the gate. By this time the post commander had ordered all units in full gear with loaded weapons and tear gas to the gate. They formed an arc inside the gate weapons drawn behind sandbags if I remember right. The riot kind of fizled out at that point. The following night it spread to Humprhies. At Humphries several sympathizers of the Black Panther movement stole a case of grenades, a couple M60 Machine guns, etc.. The trouble started in the clubs. Blacks stabbed I beleive more than one club manager and destroyed the clubs back in the allies. The Koreans rioted. The black Panther sympathizers began throwing hand grenades at the MP's on the gate. Six hundred rounds of ammo were fired over the Koreans heads to stop them from entering. The gates were shut down for two weeks. Helicopter was the only way in for a week. The following week all traffic was diverted through the CPX area to a gate that ws way around the other side of the base. The village was placed off limits for six months. The post commander said he would starve the village to death, and break them financially. It worked. He made them move the clubs out of the allies also. A close friend was on the gate. I will let him tell you the rest of the story(Bud Knapp) if I can get him in here. He had grenade thrown at him on the gate.Lb Carlhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-22766313153811929222016-11-29T21:32:28.687+09:002016-11-29T21:32:28.687+09:00"Without the HIV testing, there is no way to ..."Without the HIV testing, there is no way to screen teachers from abroad and keep our children safe"

It's easy enough to rebut, but it is worth emphasizing how this view shows how problematic the mandatory testing for foreign teachers approach is from a public health policy perspective. It creates a false sense of security by reinforcing the misplaced idea that only foreigners are at risk for infection and deprives Korean citizens of accurate information on how to protect themselves.

That a "mother of two teenagers" (as the article describes her) thinks the way to protect her teenagers from being infected with HIV is to test their foreign English teacher illustrates the point made by the NHRCK: the foreign teacher testing program "misleads the general public to think that they are safe from the disease as long as it is limited to a small group of people. This kind of misperception hardly finds its place in any desired public health policies."Benhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-55626910450142020752016-11-17T13:51:12.183+09:002016-11-17T13:51:12.183+09:00jeez, a classic example of a potentially dangerous...jeez, a classic example of a potentially dangerous 'gust of popular feeling' being whipped up along the lines of the recent Park protests in downtown Seoul. Albeit with much less funding and organization!
Koreans do seem to lack national debating mechanisms, and the 'popular gusts' which blow forth (bloviate forth?) in their place are so obviously being whipped up by very clever, Bernaysian-like techniques. I say this because every single Korean person I speak to is listing the same 'rap-sheet' of disdain, almost to the word, that's currently making the rounds against Ms. Park on the nightly news.
Political views, and rights and wrongs aside, I think it's effing scary. People here seem incapable of reaching their own conclusions regarding very serious issues of national concern.

Thanks for the comment. I realize the conservative / progressive aspect was beyond the purview of the article - it mostly reminded me of a progressive commenter here years ago who kept insisting Anti English Spectrum were right wing.

There have been other teachers found with HIV, to be sure - I've come across other stories over the years, even back in the 1980s. The three in 2009 were just from the one report I could think of off the top of my head.

As for testing of F-4s and Korean citizens, I can't find info on the latter off hand, though I know I read it somewhere. F-4s were definitely tested at my orientation for SMOE in 2010 - everyone was (they brought Kyunghee University Hospital doctors and a mobile x-ray unit to the orientation site). These were decided by school boards, though, not individual schools, at least as far as I know.

And it would have been E-6s (or its precursor visa, for 'dancers and singers') tested in 1989, with Industrial Trainees tested from 1994. Illegal foreigners were also to be turn themselves in for testing if they wanted to avoid immediate deportation, according to a 1992 article I found.matthttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-56791146837829513902016-09-21T19:14:27.669+09:002016-09-21T19:14:27.669+09:00Author of the article in question here.

Thanks for sharing and discussing the article, well appreciated. Regarding your points:
- I was unaware of the teachers who were deported that you mentioned; I find it odd that Wagner didn't mention this during our interview. In any event, it appears I made an error and it will be corrected in any future reposts of the article. Thanks and apologies.
- Apologies also for my error regarding mandatory testing of foreigners; I was unaware E-6's were undergoing testing as long ago as 1994. This will also be corrected in future reposts.
- Regarding the testing of Koreans. It's true some public schools test ethnic Koreans, though your assertion that even Korean citizens get tested is new to me, and certainly no one at Nanuri or KNP+ told me that. In any event, the question here is about the law, not the policies of individual schools. I suppose schools can do whatever they want in this regard, but the law, as far as I understand it, does not mandate any F-visas get HIV tests. Sure, an ethnic Korean under the E-2 would get tested, but the point is moot when there is a separate visa available for ethnic Koreans. I can't imagine too many ethnic Koreans opt for the added trouble of getting an E-2; certainly I've never met any.
- Finally, concepts of conservatism and progressivism in South Korea can seem odd to westerners, and it's true that racial nationalism is often a left-wing or progressive phenomenon in South Korean society. In my view, this is a terrible stain on left-wing politics in Korea, though in my experience, younger activists are moving away from it. In any event, discussion of this issue is beyond the scope of the article, but your point is well taken.
Thanks again for posting Matt, and I appreciate the feedback. Have a good one.

But it fell short of exploring many of the other sides. Similar to the British vacilating over condemning fascism in Germany in the 1930s because of Germany's use of "victimhood" from the Great War perpetuated a kind of protective shield to it's otherwise outlandish behavior, South Korea has the same nationalistic, fasctic, and racist behavior as Germany. Hiding it behind a cloak (and more importantly, outside observers who ALLOW this to go unchallenged) of "victimhood" from previous generations only exacerbates the potential for future violence, as we saw sadly in Germany against the Jews who "victimized" them in the Great War and early interwar years.

Korea has created a myth, that many in the West help perpetuate by their lack of understanding. In Taiwan the experience of memory is quite different, despite the effort of the Kuomintang fascists to do similar education. It was not important for a nationalist identity like Korea.

The Comfort Women myth, is just that. A myth. There were many Comfort Women and at the time the records are clear that they were highly paid contract prostitutes. Only after a change in strategy to attack Japan vs. the US by many extremist groups in Korea was undertaken, did Chon Dae Hyop begin to attempt to unify the people around the "Jew" of Asia: Japan as bogeyman vs. America.

It is as much racist supremacy by the Koreans, combined with fascist tendency to create a racial "other" that propels the Korean Comfort Women myths as political deprivation of women. Both have combined together to make a powerful force for hatred and evil that will plague the region with violence in the coming years as those young Koreans who grew up watching those pictures, become the leaders with their fingers on the triggers pointed at Japanese, just like the Hitler Youth who grew up with images of the "Jews" grew up to pull the triggers so tragicly easy in World War II.

From anecdotes describing the purchasing and selling of wool, wood, and other items, we see that the country also had a functioning money-based economy as well as an infrastructure for shipping items around the country.

Another section explains how the Koreans had a war-fleet that patrolled the coasts and conducted daily exercises, men guarding the ports, fortresses, munitions, calvary, and infantry that were all put on high alert in response to the appearance of two comets in the sky.

All in all, what the journal describes is a country with a governmental structure, ample human resources, food surpluses for the most part, a monetary system, an infrastructure for shipping items around the country, a military, and most importantly, a level of monetary abundance where even farmers had enough to spend on non-essentials.

And for whatever it's worth, Hamel makes not mention of having heard stories of Hideyoshi's invasion 60 years earlier from the native Koreans. And you can also see that trade was going on during this time between Japan and Korea.

So what were the elements of Korean society that were existent prior to Hideyoshi's invasion but are missing in these journal entries due to them having been destroyed or otherwise plundered by Hideyoshi just 60 years earlier, and whose absence would go on to set off a "chain reaction" or create "conditions" what would shackle the country for the following 300 years?

This question is half genuine and half rhetorical, but based on what I have learned so far, I find Catallus' observation to make much more sense:

"the average European nation has experienced tens of attempts at invasion over the last 400 years, and yet that hasn't stopped the Dutch, the French, the Germans and many others from making rapid progress. Chosun was indeed a weak, moribund state whose squabbling elites invited the attention of all the wrong parties for selfish reasons, and that is why the country fell to Japanese rule, not because of events which occurred 300 years prior."

And, for better or for worse, if Korea hadn't fallen to the Japanese, it would have been ruled by the Russians.Hipsighttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-19405303402525009282016-08-13T12:00:33.670+09:002016-08-13T12:00:33.670+09:00nice try, allow me to reflect on a couple of your ...nice try, allow me to reflect on a couple of your comments:

"Japan's invasion 300 years before, started a chain reaction causing the backwardness of the Koreans at the time"

"It is plain to see that Japan helped to create a condition, which they later used as an excuse to colonise the same sovereign land."

Based on that line of thinking, I think it would be fair to say that whatever elements of Korean society that were present before Hideyoshi's invasion, and were destroyed in one way or another to such an extent that their absence would go on to trigger a "chain reaction" or create "conditions" that would shackle the country in its "backwardness" for 300 years, should be conspicuous in their presence BEFORE Hideyoshi's invasion campaigns, and their absence AFTER the Japanese left.

I personally find it rather difficult to imagine what kind of devastation could be meted out on a country that an industrious people cannot recover from in a few generations of relative peace after the invaders leave -- excluding perhaps blankets (or other highly sought after day-to-day items) infested with contagious pathogens that the native population had no immunity against, or the extensive use of weapons of mass destruction.

I'm not sure what the conditions were like on the Korean peninsula before Hideyoshi's invasion, but as for conditions relatively soon after the Japanese left, we have the accounts left by a member of a shipwrecked Dutch crew.

Hendrick Hamel was shipwrecked in Korea in 1653, and ended up living there for 13 years until 1666. This was about 50-60 years after Hideyoshi's last campaign. In 1668, he published a journal of his stay describing what it was like in Korea during that time.

The picture painted in this journal seems to be that of a pre-modern society that nonetheless seemed to have a reasonably functioning governmental and societal structure, monetary economy, and military. In short, many of the trappings that one might expect to find in a pre-modern Asian feudal society appear to have been present in the country by this time.

At the least, you don't get the impression that the country was so thoroughly decimated to the point that 300 years would not be enough for it to make progress or regain its former glory.

I'm including a few snippets from Hamel's journal below, which you can find in full here:
http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/index.htm

In the journal's Description section under "Geographical situations," Hamel summarizes:

"The country is densely populated and can maintain in its own needs in favorable years, because of the surplus of rice, grain and cotton, which is provided by the south of the country."

So it appears that, a few generations after Hideyoshi's campaigns ended, the availability of human resources and food was no longer a problem for the most part (He does cite the occurrence of two famine years during his 13-year stay).

The journal also contains many day-to-day anecdotes such as the following:

"Because our clothes were worn out due to the constant carrying of wood, we urgently needed new clothes. That's why we asked the governor permission to beg.
[snip]
These begging tours were a great financial success, because both the farmers and the monks were very curious and in exchange for some money enjoyed listening to the fine stories we told them about our people and our country."

From this it appears that some percentage of the farmers and monks already had enough disposable income to pay the Dutch in exchange for telling them interesting stories of Europe.

Since farmers were not exactly high in the social hierarchy, I think it would be safe to assume that a sizable portion of people of other castes also had as much or more money to spend on storytellers and other forms of entertainment.

Allow me to reflect on a couple of quotes from your comments:

- "Korea was already modernizing"

- "Korea was already on the road to modernization without Japan's involvement"

These comments bring a few questions to mind.

- Was isolation an option for Korea?

- Was Korea already modernizing on it's own, without any involvement of any foreign power?

- Could it modernize without the involvement of any foreign power?

I think we are all in agreement that the answers to these questions are no.

- Since isolation was not an option, if it had not been Japan that took over, it would have been somebody else; Russia being the only other realistic alternative.

- As things turned out, it was Japan.

- During the time that Japan took over, Korea was in fact modernized, whatever Japan's motives may have been.

I don't think anybody here is refuting these observations either.

So, backing up a bit, I think the degree of criticism that is being raised against Japan's past behavior should be commensurate with the degree to which the following statements are true:

- Korea would have modernized on her own without any foreign involvement, or

- She would have done better under Russian rule than under Japanese rule.

Perhaps Korea would have been better off under Russian rule. I certainly don't think so, but who knows? In any case, that's not what happened. Japan took over, and whatever her motives may have been, Korea did end up being modernized.

I think these are important things to keep in mind for perspective.

One more thing we need to keep in mind is that colonialism or imperialism was not as "wrong" in those days as it is today. Universities handed out degrees in colonial administration and such.

The Dutch and British certainly did not think it was wrong or that they risked tainting their international reputation as honorable countries when they rushed back to Indonesia in1945 just after the war and weeks after the people of Indonesia had declared their independence to reclaim what had been "their's" for over 3 centuries, plunging the country into a 4+ year war of independence,.

Sadly, this was the state of mind back in those days, and the majority of governments saw nothing wrong with it. So I think that this difference in how colonization was perceived back then and how it is now is an essential part of the context that we need to keep in mind in all discussions of this type.

Based on this line of thinking, I'm of the view that the degree of criticism being raised against Japan's behavior is being blown out of proportion.

And this is the crux of the issue here: Evenhandedness. This lack of evenhandedness in claims made by the Korean government and media -- and consequently the Korean population who do not have first-hand knowledge of the period (Koreans younger than 75 as of 2015 to be generous) -- is what has started to create a small but noticeable amount of resentment in Japan.

Unfortunately, the western mainstream media has chosen to ignore data/information and views coming from credible sources in Japan, Korea, and elsewhere if they happen to conflict with the mainstream narrative, which is increasingly starting to look like Korean government sponsored hate propaganda.

My hope is for people with good intentions to not end up unwittingly fanning such propaganda.

You say: "makes me wonder what Seoul and Korea could have been if there was not a war and colonization. Korea may still be one and whole country with lots of potential."

We need to take into account the geopolitical context of the time. Isolation was not an option for Korea. I think you would be surprised to learn that a large percentage of Koreans who lived through Japan's colonization actually feel that it was fortunate that it was Japan and not Russia that took over Korea.

Here's what Korean Professor 閔憙植 (Min Hishku) of Hanyang University says:

"The elders and intellectuals in Korea think that it was a good thing that it was Japan that annexed Korea. Why? Because if Russia had won the Russo-Japanese war, Korea would have become a colony of Russia. Even in Korea, those who study these things know that if the Russians had come in, all the Koreans would have been sent to Siberia. Korea would have been taken over by the Russians.

This would have been a tragic outcome for Korea. The intellectuals know that had this transpired, things would have been far more miserable than being under Japanese control."

I agree this statement. Judging from how the Russians and Soviets ruled their colonies elsewhere, it's easy to see how the entire peninsula would have ended up something like North Korea.Hipsighttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-70403449887835977292016-07-25T16:15:49.343+09:002016-07-25T16:15:49.343+09:00Yeah I find these stats very interesting.

It's just a theory, but I'm thinking the men are leaving Korea quicker than women because it's not a wage that can support a family. And as men seek or have more opportunity (I'm not going to get into the politics) for higher wages elsewhere they leave. So by this theory having a greater number of women remaining shows how the wages are in decline in Korea.
You advertising info was fascinating as well. Which means I could be totally wrong and it's just a big movement going on where women are braver and more confident nowadays.
I suspect it's some kind of combination of the two. In my experience men move to where the money is.

Hello to all my fellow Korean vets. I was in Korea from 70-Feb to Mar-72. I was assigned to 21st Finance Section D in Camp Humphrey's. When I got to Korea the Army was giving you a 6 month early out if you extended for a year so I took advantage of it. Then in late 71-72 the Army said anyone in the army for 3 years got 6 months early out. So my buddies that went back to the states got out the same time as me anyway. But I loved Korea. So much to learn and so little time. (2 years) I handled the finance records for ASA, 520th and 19th Aviation. I was there during the riots. What's not being mentioned was all that happened to lead up to the riot. There was always tension between Koreans, Blacks and Whites. All were at fault for the riots. Whether it was on post (between Whites and Blacks) at the EM and NCO clubs or in the village at one of the clubs. It did not happen nightly but occasionally. With the riot in the village everyone knew it was coming. Days before it happened you started to see more and more Korean men sitting out front of stores on the main street. I lived in the village for the two years that I was there and only had to live on base during the riots. The Mama-sans, Bar owners, girls, ASA and Camp Humphreys in general knew it was going to happen but did not know when it was going to start. I used to take out newbies that first came into country to introduce them to the owners of the clubs, the mama-sans I knew, Girls etc. I can't remember the name of the Black soldier that was in our unit but here was his story about what happened to him during the night the riot began. He was in his "hooch" when Koreans came in and pulled all the Black soldiers out and started to beat on them with bats. He got hit twice and a Korean shouted he is 21st Finance quit hitting him. A few of them carried him to the gate and turned him over to the MP's. From the infirmary in the morning he thanked me for taking him around and making sure he was known to all. The Triple 7 was kitty corner from Duffy's and he would frequent both as I would too. I hope things have improved in Korea but I doubt it. No more than in the United States. Respect is the key.

A special hello to TommyD of the 545th Med Disp. Wish I could remember everyone but so goes the mind. I used to be called "Zeke" and wore a big round straw hat in the office and out.
Still remember the cookouts with Medics, Mp's, cooks (they supplied the steaks) on the small hill (bump) between the Fiance office a the huts. Remember, we used to say we could not live without each other. Mp's to get us out to the village, Fiance to give use the money needed to be out in the village, Medics to give give us a shot when our trip to the village went wrong and cooks to feed us great food on post.

A million stories so little time! Be safe my friends.Keith Strozewskihttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-51825477254080612242016-07-08T14:48:08.924+09:002016-07-08T14:48:08.924+09:00Lucewin, I'm writing to comment on a stateme...Lucewin,

I'm writing to comment on a statement that you made, but since you are Korean, first allow me to direct you to a Korean site that you might find useful:

"The Truth of Japanese Colonization that You Won't Learn at School"
http://yeoksa.blog.fc2.com/

I also hope you will find the time to speak with as many elders as you can who have actually lived through that period. People who were 15 years old when the war ended will be 86 years old this year (2016) so time is quickly running out.

Back to your comment ...

"For example, forcing Koreans to use Japanease and change their family name to Japanease fmaily name."

= Forced language use:
Yes, towards the end of the war (1944-45), it appears that many Japanese schools forced students to use Japanese. Not to make an excuse for this, but this kind of practice was widespread in other colonial regimes, so I think you should know that the "evilness" of this practice was on par with other colonial powers. Something to keep in mind for perspective.

BTW, you may have also learned that the Japanese deprived the Korean people of the Hangul alphabet. This can be easily refuted. Let me direct you to a few photos (I don't personally agree with the views expressed on these sites)

Here is a textbook from that period, printed in Hangul, Kanji, and Japanese.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/kaikaihanno/archives/33319174.html

Vintage movie posters in Hangul from that era:

http://blog.goo.ne.jp/think_pod/e/28384e611b21262c620ff9ba76f3ae45

In fact, Japanese government employees in Korea were encouraged (with bonuses) to learn the Korean language because, as of 1941, 84% of the population could not even barely understand Japanese, and this was a problem in all areas including law enforcement, tax collection, licensing, and permits, etc.

= Forced name changes:
 (創氏改名 = creating family names and changing personal names):

Korean people were not forced to change their names. To verify this, all you actually need to do is get a hold of newspaper microfiches of the time (1940-1945) and see how Korean names frequently pop up in headlines and articles. Many Korean officers in the Japanese military also kept their names.

The Office of Governor-General originally issued Decree No.124: "Regarding the changing of surnames and personal names of Koreans" which PROHIBITED the use of Japanese-style names by Koreans.

Why then was "creating family names and changing personal names" implemented 30 years after annexation? The immediate reason was that there was a strong request from Koreans.

In the 1930s, many Koreans immigrated to Manchuria and were engaged in developing farmland. Villages of Korean farmers were often raided by Chinese bandits. Though they were legally Japanese, their Korean names made them targets. In most cases, the bandits avoided attacking the Japanese, so Korean farmers became their major targets.

There were also protests among Korean people demanding that they be allowed to use Japanese names, and that disallowing their use amounted to discrimination. The Office of the Governor-General and the Department of Education were sympathetic to this, but the Police Agency argued against it. In the end, the Korean Census Register Law was revised in 1940 to allow Koreans to have Japanese names.

Movements soon sprung up among the Korean people encouraging everyone to change to Japanese-style names. As these movements began to gain steam, the then Governor-General feared that people might falsely believe that they were being forced to adopt Japanese names, so he issued orders in March 1940 saying that "name changing is not mandatory and must not be forced." This was reported in major newspapers.

I could go on with the other five of the "seven deprivations" allegedly imposed upon Korea by Japan, but I think the site I linked at the top of this comment will have more than enough information to keep you busy.

Re your post on Wed Apr 12, 04:47:00 PM

Great sources and very much to the point. I think you've touched on the crux of this discussion, and that is:

"Now if you are insisting Korea could modernize without help of Japan, I guess it might have been possible.
If you are asserting that Korea could mordernize without help of foreigners.I guess it was impossible."

I think the overarching issue is evenhandedness. Can we say that the Korean treatment (and the default treatment among the international community who rely on the mainstream media for their news) of Japan's colonization of Korea is evenhanded, given Korea's situation in the geopolitical context of the time?

An important part of that context is the fact that, at the time, hardly anybody thought that colonization was "wrong." Universities handed out degrees in colonial administration and such. So when you say in closing:

"if you wanted to say, colonization was wrong. I agree. It was wrong."

I would have to qualify your statement by saying that colonization is perceived to be wrong in the present time, and rightly so, but it was not "wrong" back then.

The Dutch and British certainly did not think it was wrong or that they risked tainting their international reputation as honorable countries when they rushed back to Indonesia in 1945 after the war to reclaim what had been "there's" for over 3 centuries, plunging the country into a 4+ year war of independence, just weeks after the people of Indonesia had declared their independence.

Sadly, this was the state of mind back in those days, and the majority of governments saw nothing wrong with it. So I think that this difference in how colonization was perceived back then and how it is now is an essential part of the context that we need to keep in mind in all discussions of this type.Hipsighttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-46881913365840795112016-07-07T01:15:06.047+09:002016-07-07T01:15:06.047+09:00I'm assuming the following question from matt ...I'm assuming the following question from matt of this blog is not a rhetorical one:

"Now, if 'the increase in population' was really the position you were taking in that post, why is it that population increase is never brought up again other than in one caption"

And I'm not sure if Matt of Occidental didn't have the following information on hand, but here is the population grwoth data from the Naksungdae Institute of Economic Research. According to this, the population grew from around 11M in 1911 to 16M in 1944.

http://www.naksung.re.kr/xe/index.php?mid=statis2012&document_srl=104971

Download file Table II-54~76, and do a find for "population"

nig said,

"Between 1932 and 1936, per capita consumption of rice declined to half the level consumed between 1912 and 1916."

Actually, if you take the average of these two periods, again based on figures from the Naksungdae Institute, they come to about 44 seung vs. 52 seung per capita, respectively, so that would be about a 16% decrease, not an insignificant amount but not nearly half.

And you can't gauge the food situation with rice consumption alone. Food and animal imports into Korea increased nearly ten-fold over said period. Given that population growth during the period was a "mere" 50% or so, that would have been a lot more food per mouth.

CQ do not leave their post to walk through barracks. You said metal around barracks, you mean quanset huts, corrogated metal buidings, half-round. We never called them 'metal around barracks'. The heater was in center of barracks, diesel fueled from a gerri-can which did keep us warm. We took turns being on 'fire watch' all night to regulated the heater so it doesn't get too hot and re-fuel when necessary. Never heard of a Duffy bag. We did have duffle bags 'overseas bag'. I think you meant a nickle-bag, five dollars sounds right. G.I.'s did smoke pot in the barracks and non-pot smokers did wake up high with second hand smoke. I wasn't a lifer, got smart and got out when ETS.

Claire Hammen – DU student-athlete
In my audio slideshow, I have included photos of University of Denver gymnast, Claire Hammen as she competed in a meet against Utah State. However, though the photos only show her competing in one meet, they are very telling of her life as dedicated student-athlete, as they illustrate the athleticism and focus required by the sport of gymnastics, as well as they do the love, happiness, and satisfaction that comes with it. I chose the photos that I did and put them in the order I did for this reason and know that emotion and talent, ultimately, were what I aimed to capture. Continue reading

Love hater
If you loved her
Why would you leave her
Why did you reject it and leave it for the receiver?
Do you always have to make a heart break?
In your mind are your thoughts celebrating a wake
Making haste to the Hellfire club
and the lost souls inside
It feels as if somebody died
she did everything for you
Now you leave her on her wedding day
and you have nothing else to say
Your a love hater
hater of love
an outcast in my mind
I slag you from behind
Tears are wasted
drugs are tasted
Lives are lost
It has a cost
You're a love hater
hater of Love.

openSuSE Leap and Fedora 23: How to upgrade
More side-by-side information on these two popular Linux distributions. This time I explore what it is like to upgrade an existing installation, rather than installing from scratch.
Various thoughts and adventures, including but not limited to Linux, assorted bits of hardware new and old, and occasionally Windows XP/Vista/7.
More side-by-side information on these two popular Linux distributions. This time I explore what it is like to upgrade an existing installation, rather than installing from scratch.
Two major Linux distributions have been released on consecutive days. I have loaded them both on several of my laptops, and here is what I found.
Fedora 23 will be be released tomorrow. Here is a detailed screenshot walk-through of the Anaconda installer.
The Tanglu Linux 4.0 Alpha release does not include UEFI Boot support. Here's how I added it.
Continuing my series on Linux installers, here is a screen-shot walk through the latest Ubuntu release.
I replaced the original disk drive in my Acer Aspire V3 with an SSD, and got a stunning performance improvement.
The first Release Candidate for openSuSE 42.1 Leap is available. Here is a walk-through of the installation process.
Wi-fi is just about ubiquitous now but connections aren't always very good -- and that's just one of the problems you can run into on the move.
Updated: I have installed (or at least tried to install) the new release of this tightly-focused distribution. Here are the mixed results.
Manjaro Linux 15.09 has been released, so here's a side-by-side look at the two GUI Installers included.
I've come across a stumble in digiKam panorama creation, but also found a way around it, too.
I call this 'Arch Linux for mortals', and it has become one of my standard distributions.
The next major release for openSuSE is scheduled for 4 November, exactly one year after the debut of 13.2. The second milestone was recently released, so I decided to give it a try.
I've been using this laptop for a few days now, and installing Fedora, Manjaro, Debian, Mint, LMDE, and Ubuntu. Here's my report on how it all went.
An interesting combination of features and a low price caught my eye. Now I am loading all of my favorite Linux distributions - and not bothering to install Windows.

Advanced purchase of ski passes: ski passes may be purchased in advance from 14.30 on the day before your first day of skiing.
Card exchange, card replacement and card loss: exchange, extension or deferment of validity is not possible. No replacement of lost ski passes.
Refunds on ski passes: only in the event of a serious accident will a partial refund be made on a Montafon ski pass less an administration fee of EUR 7.50 on production of a certificate from a doctor practicing in the Montafon (may be sent later). Refunds are made from the day on which the ski pass is produced to a cable car cash desk or the offices of the "Montafoner Bergbahnen". If passes are produced before 10.00 that day will be refunded! No replacement for accompanying people or for early departure. Operational failure, operational interruption or operational limitation in particular for storm, mist, road block or lack of snow, shall not entitle to any refund.
Refund on season tickets: in the event of a serious accident, the amount of refund shall amount, on application before 31.1.2014 to a maximum 30% of the purchase price. For season tickets valid longer there shall be no refund!
Parking: between 19.00 and 7.00 there is a strict ban on night parking so that snow clearance can take place. Those parking for longer will be allocated special parking places. We assume no liability for damage to parked vehicles.
NB: when operations close, account must always be taken of avalanche explosions, piste machinery, snow-making machines and so on.
When there is new snow: the Golm ski region endeavours, with acknowledged success, to offer you the best piste conditions on a daily basis. However, when there is new snow it is not always possible even making full use of piste machinery, to clear all pistes at the same time. And in some weather and snow conditions the new snow does not bind well with the underlying snow. When first skied, the new snow can form humps. This is not attributable to defective piste care.
Skiing accidents: in the event of ski accidents please make as accurate a report as possible to the next lift station or alarm point. The telephone number for piste rescue is on the information block. Use of the piste rescue service will involve a charge.

Tri-ing to make this work!
Hello, my name is Jay, and I'm in a mff triune (somewhat committed) relationship with my wife and our gf. I need some practical advice from others who face the same or similar issues or challenges we face. Without boring you all with a drawn out story lol the short-short version goes like this. We are all in love with each other and want to be together forever, but we are in a situation where our gf is currently married but is unhappy (obviously) and has two kids with him (7 & 5yrs old). I have known our gf since highscool and have been married for 10 years (this coming summer). We feel stuck in an no-win situation, because my wife n I have 3 kids (7, 5, and 10 months), and want to be together, but the women are so scared of the impact on the kids, between what they will understand and think/feel, as well and more importantly the community and possible judicial system (if/when they get divorced). We live in NJ and I guess I just don't see this huge negative impact on the kids as they do, and it is the #1 major issue standing in our way with being together. I am just trying to figure out a way we can be together, and ease their worries and fears, but don't know how to do that. Any advice is welcomed. There are obviously more details, and I will reveal them as they become relevant to the advice, cuz this is already so long lol. Thank you.
That's tough. Divorce is very hard on kids, so it is wise not to rush the decision. That said, depending on the nature of the relationship between your gf and her husband - that may also be hard on the kids (lots of yelling and screaming, disrespect, etc).
I think in order to separate out the issues, your gf needs to ask herself if she would want to be divorced if she didn't have you and your wife waiting in the wings.
Also, is your gf's husband poly? Is he also unhappy in the marriage? Or does he think everything is fine and dandy?
And if I were you, I would study the divorce laws in your state. Could poly be used against her or is it a non-issue, etc.
Is your girlfriend's husband fully aware of and consenting to her relationship with you and your wife? Or is she cheating on him with you two? Each situation could impact a divorce in different ways.
The world opens up... when you do.

Are you talking about "living together" or "being out" or "both?" I am not cleary on that.
I am guessing "cohabitating." I could guess wrong. But if this is about living together? My suggestion is...
Could always move again later if you want to live in a house with a mess of kids (if your zoning laws allow X unrelated people to be in the same dwelling) once the divorce issues are laid to rest.
Or if the triads wants to live together once the kids are grown and moved out.
You can still be "together forever" the whole time through your various life processes and transitions.
You don't have to be doing all your various life processes and transition out of the same house.
good advice
Galagirl gives good advice. Take on one issue at a time. Get the divorce done then slowly integrate the two families. My husband and I did that with our wife. Our teenage children know all about us, but her younger children do not. We moved her next door to us so we all spend lots of time together. Eventually the kids will see how close we all are and so when they are older, they will not be bothered by it. We are planning to get one large house together down the road. We each have our attributes and we compliment each other very well.
Having had some experience in this my advice s slow down, slow down, slow the f down. If the marital problems are hers and have nothing to do with the two of you try and back off as far as possible. Be a friend until she is sure that divorce is what she wants. If it is the relationship that the three of you have then honesty is the best policy.
As far as the kids just let the situation play out as best as you can. We have been working on our triad now for three years. We are just now at a place where we understand that there are restrictions placed on the relationship because of the societal norms. You have to go slow and let the others affected by this, the kids and her ex, who can't be too surprised, gradually get used to the three of you. I hope it all works out, but going slow will not hurt anything and will allow the three of you to make sound adult decisions after carefully analyzing the effect each move will have on others.
As for the overwhelming desire to all be together, my advice is do it as often as you can without causing issues. Go camping, out of town on trips, dates ect. You really have to live poly to understand all the complications. Gradually bring kids along as a big family and before you know it you may find yourself in the middle of a big happy poly pod.
Good luck
If I were you, I would keep your relationship separate until all has been finalized with the divorce. Have her rent a place near you, but do not start cohabiting until it is all said and done. Give him no ammo. It will make things much easier on her in regard to the divorce.
One thing you could check, is your state a no fault divorce state? If so, the courts aren't going to care if she was having an affair etc. However, they may care about the welfare of the kids and poly may be viewed negatively in that regard. So again, I would proceed slowly until the divorce is final.
I have a friend who was emotionally separated from her husband (and partially physically separated) from him, he had hopes of reconciliation, my hope was that my friend get out of the situation and be somewhat independent, alas at an event we were at she met some other guy, I warned her, do not contact, don't get involved with someone before you are properly finished with your marriage, she ignored me and what happened? One psycho and resentful ex threatening to take their son from her and not bring him back and her clinging to this rebound relationship moving it whirlwind forward.
Nothing is more depressing. Stay away, stay away....

Andrew has been practicing usability since the first time he tried to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Somewhere between then and now, he decided to focus on improving the experiences people have when interacting with computers.
First, he tried to see it from the computers point of view. Andrew studied Computer Science at the University of Western Ontario and gained an awful lot of perspective on what a computer can and can't do. Just knowing the capabilities of a computer couldn't solve the problem, though, so he tried to see it from the human side.
Digging into the theory and practice of making Art—and receiving an Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts along the way—brought a greater appreciation for the way people understand the world and make sense of it. But that alone didn't present a solution, either.
That's when he realized that the problem of people interacting with computers is complex and continuously evolving.
Andrew routinely ventures out into the world armed with the tools of usability testing, information architecture, interaction design, and whatever else he has hidden up his sleeve to find the best solution for any given interaction problem. He has used this toolset to improve the interactive experiences for the likes of ATB, Oil Country Engineering, Alberta Education and BMO Bank of Montreal.
Andrew lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and works at the Habanero Consulting Group.
Sometimes he even writes longer posts on his blog: blendedConcepts.

2d game artist
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 21
Project Description
I'm a first time indie developer, looking for a talented artist to help me with my game.
It's a board game, with multiplayer feature. It allows many players to play together in the same board.
The logic is like the "boggle" board game.
Most of the game logic is already done, and now it's time to think in the full flow!
In this job, I'm looking for some artist to help me to create the wireframes for the game, as well as all the art. I need someone to help me to give an identity to the game!
The main tasks are:
1) Understand the requirements and similar games (I can provide a list of games, so you can download from app store)
2) Create the screen flow of the game
3) Suggest some identity (colours, background, typography, etc)
4) Create the assets (for iPhone, iPad, normal and retina displays)
5) Make the final adjusts
And those are the screens/assets I already thought:
1- Title Screen with the following links (bilingual):
Learn to Play
Create Account / Login / Logout
2 - "Rankings" screen with:
=> Day
=> Week
=> Month
=> Year
3 - Waiting screen (after the player hits "play". He needs to wait for the round to finish)
4 - Board Screen( this is the game)
5 - Result Screen (when a round finishes). After that, the game goes to 3, in a continuous interaction.
6 - Buttons (Sound/NoSound, FX/NoFX, Share, etc)
7 - Game Logo

HUNGARY: Hungarian government shows commitment to Suzuki
By Dave Leggett | 27 November 2012
As Europe's economy stutters and automakers eye restructuring moves, Suzuki has secured a 'strategic partnership' with Hungary's government to secure its low-cost manufacturing operations there.
The Hungarian government and Magyar Suzuki Corporation (MSC) have signed a 'strategic partnership agreement for cooperation to strengthen the existing economic bonds and promote sustainable and steady operation'. Suzuki says the new agreement 'establishes the framework for further expansion of MSC's manufacturing and developing activities in Hungary, and also enables MSC to maintain its competitiveness on the European market.'
"In the present situation in the European car market, even in very tough economic circumstances, we have been able to maintain our production and even launch new models from time to time, being in a special position as Suzuki's sole manufacturing company on the continent providing vehicles to all of the European markets," Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director of Magyar Suzuki Corporation said.
This agreement may be short on detail, but for Suzuki, the long-term commitment from Hungary's government is very welcome. It is a small player in Europe and makes low-margin small cars. Another small player, Daihatsu, exited Europe because of high costs on Japanese imports to the EU (the common external tariff and high yen wiped out its margins on small cars). The low-cost manufacturing operations in Hungary keep Suzuki viable in Europe (potentially also important if, post-VW fallout, it finds another strategic partner). A friendly host government can only help. And Hungary's government, for its part, is obviously very keen to keep Suzuki in Hungary.
Continuing over twenty years of cooperation between the Hungarian Government and Magyar Suzuki Corporation (MSC), the parties signed a strategic partnership agreement for cooperation to strengthen the existing economic bonds and promote sustainable and steady operation. The new agreement establishes the framework for further expansion of MSC's manufacturing and developing activities in Hungary, and also enables MSC to maintain its competitiveness on the European market.
By signing the partnership agreement, the Hungarian Government has expressed its intention to support, in several ways, a stable and predictable operation for Suzuki in Hungary, while Magyar Suzuki Corporation confirmed to the Government MSC's plans for a long-term presence in the country and for manufacturing Suzuki models for the Hungarian and European markets.
"In the present situation in the European car market, even in very tough economic circumstances, we have been able to maintain our production and even launch new models from time to time, being in a special position as Suzuki's sole manufacturing company on the continent providing vehicles to all of the European markets," Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director of Magyar Suzuki Corporation said. "In order to further enhance our competitiveness, we need stability and a supportive economic background in the long run. Taxation, an incentive package for investment, well-trained labour force, improvements in infrastructure, as well as a healthy network of accomplished Hungarian suppliers are all parts of such a business environment, as are labour market regulations," he added.
Magyar Suzuki provides jobs in Hungary through direct employment as well as through its extended network of Hungarian suppliers and dealers, which makes the company a major stakeholder in the automotive sector and a supporting pillar for the economy of Hungary. Under the umbrella of the present agreement, MSC hopes to increase its current share of nearly two per cent in Hungarian export and develop its uniquely wide suppliers' base in the country, thus supporting the growth of small and medium size businesses in the automotive sector. Magyar Suzuki, as Suzuki's only European car production base, delivers automobiles to the whole continent (as well as to several regions outside Europe). The new strategic cooperation can improve Suzuki's competitiveness in Europe, too. For the UK market, Magyar Suzuki produces Splash, Swift, Swift Sport and SX4 models.
Magyar Suzuki hopes that the agreement will create a firm ground for further development and investments. The company has confirmed its plans to continue investments, which have exceeded 1.3 billion EUR since the establishment of Magyar Suzuki.

Magyar Suzuki Corporation
The company was established by its major shareholder Suzuki Motor Corporation together with other business partners in 1991. The kick-off model, the first generation Swift in Hungary rolled off the production line in 1992, followed by Wagon R+ in 2000, Ignis in 2003, the 2nd generation Swift in 2005, SX4 in 2006, Splash in 2008, the new Swift in June 2010 and the latest model, Swift Sport launched in fall 2011. All models currently manufactured in Esztergom are built with engines complying with Euro 5 environmental standards. Throughout the past two decades, MSC has been steadily growing to play a major role not only in Hungary's automotive market but in Europe as well, as the Hungarian factory is Suzuki Motor Corporation's sole manufacturing subsidiary on the Continent serving European markets with automobiles. Currently operation takes place in five shop units (stamping, welding, painting, assembly and bumper). A series of investments followed one another in the last 20 years including the peak period of the factory between 2003 and 2008 under the era of Suzuki's European Renaissance Program, which had the major objectives of heavily expanding the European network of distributors as well as preparing the manufacturing company for the production of 300,000 units. The latter objective was approached with more than 280,000 vehicles produced in 2008. Through its export activities MSC provides cars to European countries but also to Japan, Russia, Ukraine, as well as to the Middle East and some Northern African territories including Israel and Morocco.
In addition to the 3,100 jobs at the Suzuki factory, the company provides employment for thousands of people in Hungary through its circle of suppliers and dealers. Besides production for the European and domestic markets, MSC carries out other commercial activities such as selling imported cars, motorcycles and outboard motors. The imported models of the cutting edge technology bikes from the parent company, SMC Japan, are supported by one of the greatest dealership networks in Hungary taking care of customer needs, entrusted to live up to the expectations of customers with our wide range of offers. Magyar Suzuki Corporation plays a significant role within the region in the motorcycle business providing motorcycles to eight countries (Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bosnia, Kosovo and Montenegro).
