How can any reasonable, thinking person be against globalization? After all, it promotes economic development, particularly in disadvantaged countries, lowers costs to consumers, and by connecting people around the world, helps to avert conflicts.
How can any reasonable, thinking person be for globalization? After all, it exacerbates income disparities, particularly in developed countries, threatens communities with cultural assimilation, and weakens national sovereignties.
It is remarkable how many people line up either for or against globalization and then dismiss the other side. Who's right? Neither. Those who embrace globalization are no more thoughtful than those who dismiss it. We should all be lining up for and against globalization, to retain what is constructive about it while challenging what has become destructive. We need globalization in its place, namely the marketplace, and out of the public space.
Unfortunately, the prevailing, cosmopolitan powers of the world— investors, executives, economists, and consultants — mostly line up for globalization, leaving those against it to protest locally, on their streets and in their ballot boxes.1 But their marches and occupations have hardly made a dent in the armor of globalization, while voting for the likes of Brexit and Trump—against what is wrong rather than for what could be right—has not solved anything.
What we call globalization is really economic globalization, because it enables economic forces to prevail over social concerns and democratic precepts. Multinational companies play governments off against each other in their quest for reduced taxes and suspended regulations, while local communities have to compete for jobs that can be no more reliable than the next offer. Globalization may be connected everywhere, but it is rooted nowhere, while sustainable employment takes root in local soil, not on the "globe".
Hence this force for economic development is fast becoming one for abandoning decades of social and political development. Trade pacts now allow companies to sue sovereign governments over legislation that reduces their profits, while companies such as Uber ride roughshod over local regulations. How about this from an article in the New York Times (23 September 2017), about the city of London's challenge to Uber: "There is a feeling in the air that regulators should stand up to businesses that simply ignore any rules they don't like." No kidding!
John Kenneth Galbraith's forgotten concept of "countervailing power" can help to understand what has been happening.2 Countervailing forces arise in democratic societies to offset concentrated centers of power, as did the unions in America with the rise of the large corporations. But where are the unions in today's so-called global village, and what other force has arisen to offset that of the global corporations?
The most obvious candidate is global government, but the United Nations is hardly up to that. The globe may be amalgamating economically, but it remains fragmented politically as well as socially. Indeed, the most powerful international agencies, all ardently economic—the WTO, IMF, World Bank, and OECD—have been the cheerleaders for globalization.
How, then, to face this corporate hegemony? The challenge will have to begin from the ground up. Perhaps never before have so many people been prepared to vote with their feet, their ballots, and their pocketbooks. Thoughtful, concerned citizens, acting in local communities that are connected globally through the social media, can bring direct pressure to bear on objectionable behaviors, while prodding their governments to act more concertedly on their behalf. Communities, after all, have been the places where major social change has often begun—for example, with a tea party in the Boston harbor or a woman boarding a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. From such sparks have come significant groundswells that have transformed societies.
True, the most powerful countries have also been cheerleaders for globalization, or at least for their own global corporations. But other countries, especially on the receiving end of the globalization demands, could act together to push back, instead of being further divided and ruled. Is this not what the European Union has been doing with its challenges to Google and other companies? Here, then, lies one potentially countervailing power to economic globalization. (For other suggestions on dealing with such imbalances in society, see my TWOG "Going Public with my Puzzle.")
Without restraining the power of economic globalization, we shall be facing greater social disruption, the election of more tyrants, and the further deterioration of our democratic institutions. We certainly need strong enterprises. But not free enterprises. Not if we are to be free people.

Until 1945, the German people sang their national anthem beginning with the line "Deutschland Deutschland über alles" ("above all else"). Today many people sing "Uber Uber über alles", whether for or against.
One of us sings for, the other against. The two of us live in Montreal, work together, and leaving Uber aside, are good friends. Leslie lived her life in the United States, with a brief time in France, until she moved to Montreal in 2010. Henry is a born and bred Montrealer, with years spent in England and France as well as some in the U.S. This may help to explain our differences over Uber.
Leslie on Uber über the competition
I love technology, innovation, convenience and novelty, when it makes sense. Uber came on the scene with attractive pricing, but it was more about convenience and ease of use…no phone call, no confusion about where to pick up, and, best of all, no money exchange in the car. Upon arrival, a simple "thank you" and you're on your way.
Is Uber a "disruptive innovation"? Does it matter? What matters is that Uber and other ride-sharing companies have been disrupting the taxi business for the sake of better service, around the world, for almost a decade. Surely by now the taxi companies have had time to get their apps together.
I believe in a lawful society. I pay my taxes in two countries. But I also understand the time-honored tradition to avoid taxes by all legal means available. Beyond this, laws are regularly flouted when they are patently foolish, or exist to support monopolistic practices. This form of civil disobedience brings attention to the need for change. Along with Uber in transportation, Airbnb competes with traditional hotels, and Turo with traditional car rental companies. Hotels gouged people on personal phone calls, and then on Internet services, until mobile phones and Airbnb came along. Turo avoids excessive airport taxes by enabling people to rent cars just offsite or from private owners who pick you up at the airport.
Governments must make laws that protect us, but that are also in our best interests. A level playing field and fair competition are important but, as we may be seeing now with Uber, an equilibrium can eventually be achieved through cooperation, negotiation and collaboration, allowing the type of choice one expects in a democracy.
Henry on Uber über the workers, the regulations, and governments
The dominating song today is really that of globalization: "Investors Investors über alles"—über the workers, über the rules and regulations, über national sovereignty. Make no mistake about it: Uber is just the latest version of the worker-busting practices that for some years have been driving middle class wages toward the minimum wage, to the delight of shareholders and customers alike. First the unions were busted, then job security was busted together with worker benefits, and with the resulting reduction of earnings has come busting of the social fabric of societies. No wonder so many people have had it with an economic globalization that is riding roughshod over decency and democracy.
People who operate real taxis had to buy that right from their municipal governments, and abide by various regulations designed to protect the public. Then Uber waltzed in and ignored all this while city administrations turned their backs. Better not mess with globalization. But certainly, mess with local workers. Why shouldn't they too be earning minimum wage, so that we well-paid people, including those who run our governments, can cash in on the convenience? And as the taxi drivers fight back, they get labelled the bad guys, who are rude and drive dirty cars. (If this happens more often now, perhaps it's because they are tired of being screwed.)
Uber claims it is not a taxi service. (Just as I claim that this is not a blog because I call it a TWOG.) Funny, because Uber picks up people and ferries them around the city for a fare. Sure sounds like a taxi service to me. No, they say, it's a ride-sharing service. Maybe originally, but when was the last time you shared an Uber car with a stranger? OK then, Uber drivers are self-employed. Well, what are the taxi-drivers who own their permits and join a co-op? We live in a world of fake words too.
Apple has succeeded by competing with better products. Uber succeeds by cheating with a better service. It is the ultimate pit bull in a globe of pit bull corporations—apparently in its management and corporate culture too. The following sentence appeared in a recent article in The New York Times, about London's efforts to rid itself of Uber: "There is a feeling in the air that regulators should stand up to businesses that simply ignore any regulations they don't like." Really? Stand up to global corporations, holding them to the rule of law? What a novel idea! This is not a feeling in the air; there's a sledgehammer striking the ground.
Leslie and Henry: Synergy über alles?
Maybe we are both right. Our differing perspectives might just be a matter of context. Leslie cites corruption in the taxi industry, which has been especially so in New York City with its medallions — there are now fewer than in 1937, when they were first introduced, at $10! Certain people made fortunes on these – the price went to well over a million dollars before Uber became prominent — while some of the drivers who rented their cars struggled. In other words, in New York at least, this decimation of earnings preceded Uber, although it has hardly abated. So why shouldn't the overwhelming proportion of NY drivers who don't own medallions switch to Uber?
Henry points out that in Montreal, taxis are plentiful, many of them driven by polite owners who earned better incomes, at least before Uber came along. The city has tight restrictions on the number of permits that can be owned, tied to the individual ownership of the cars themselves. In other words, contexts do vary. Montreal may be closer than New York to what happens in cities elsewhere that have been challenging Uber.
Is what we have here, therefore, a solution to a corruption problem in New York City being applied to cities where that problem doesn't exist? Is this, in other words, a case of the American exceptionalism, forsaken by Donald Trump in foreign policy, only to be carried on by American corporations in the global marketplace? That's at least how many Canadians see the world today, and many Europeans too. Americans love novelty, and the competition that brings it, while Canadians tend to be more suspicious of aggressive multinationals, and more concerned about the underdog and fair play.
It seems to us that our positions can be reconciled—synergistically, if you like. Keep the benefits of the Ubers, but force them to play by the rules, at least sensible rules. This may be happening in Montreal right now. When the government of Quebec recently sought to impose restrictions on Uber, the company said it would leave by a certain date. The government didn't cave, and Uber didn't leave. Now on the table is a proposal to have Uber buy a certain number of permits, to collect and pay taxes as well as fees per ride, and to ensure that its drivers are properly licensed and insured while the cars are regularly inspected. In other words, act like the taxi company Uber is. The company is not exactly signaling its delight with this proposal, but it could be one way to maintain the innovations while ending the indecencies. Will this throw the Uber baby out with the taxi bathwater? Who knows?
Established taxi businesses certainly need to wake up—more quickly. They can do a better job of replicating many of Uber's innovations. (Prepaying by credit card, for example, is hardly under patent.) Meanwhile, other variations are popping up all over the place. In London, using Gett, some of the legendary black cabs provide service via a mobile phone app. The rider can choose to pay a fixed fee up front or go by the meter. In the U.S., governments are now scrambling to strike a balance between the growing need for flexible urban transportation and protecting the interests of the taxi drivers.
Even Leslie has her own hybrid service: she met a licenced driver who prefers to drive his own customers. So, for certain needs, she arranges directly with him, at taxi rates. Yes, she actually pays more than for Uber. But in the bargain, she is assured that his car will always be clean and well-maintained, and most important, that she has a safe driver she can trust—indeed, someone who has become almost a friend. Leslie has struck her own blow for decency.

Wallonian Farmer, photo by André Mouraux
Canada's Minister of International Trade, Chrystia Freeland, shed a few tears of frustration in October when the little region of Wallonia blocked the Canada-EU trade pact that she worked so hard to negotiate. Imagine that: a bunch of Belgian farmers standing up to the mighty forces of globalization. Next thing you know, Britain will be brexiting the EU and Trump will be trexiting the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). What is this world coming to? Its senses?
At the very least, the genie is out of the globalization bottle. Many people now realize the opaque consequences of globalization. Unfortunately, no small proportion of them have been convinced by demagogues to accept solutions that could be worse.
The Loaded Global Game Economists have been telling us for decades that globalization is motherhood, as is free trade and free enterprise. After all, they insist, greed is good and markets are sacred while governments are suspect. Well, I am one of those who believe that governments are suspect when they buy into this nonsense. You don't have to be bribed to be corrupted; you just have to be conned by dogma.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the sham tribunals that have been written into the trade pacts of recent years. These enable those free enterprises to sue sovereign nations whose laws or regulations—even in matters pertaining to health, culture, and environment—they deem to have affected their profits. So much for free people.
To understand why Trump and Farage as well as Sanders have been getting so much support, please notice two disconnected dots: the multinational enterprises that barrel ahead in the back rooms and the people in local communities who feel shut out. Something is rotten in the state of democracy.
This global game is loaded. The international trade pacts privilege large corporations that can move freely around the globe. They face no countervailing power, to use John Kenneth Galbraith's forgotten phrase1—no global taxes, no global regulations to speak of (except for the ones they develop for themselves), no global government with teeth, just a set of international agencies, all of them economic—the IMF, The WTO, the World bank, the OECD—that act mostly as their cheerleaders. All of this has enabled these corporations to ride roughshod over governments, for example by playing them off against each other for tax breaks and by being allowed to enter the back rooms of the trade negotiations for their own benefit.
Local businesses, in contrast, are subject to the countervailing power of their own governments, comprising regulations and national taxes. They have no foreign tax haven where they can plant some phony headquarters. Instead, these businesses are rooted in local communities, which, in fact, they serve socially as well as economically. And make no mistake about their importance to us all: count the number of local businesses with which you regularly interact. I'll bet they far outnumber the global ones. Yet the concept of community does not figure in mainstream economics, nor therefore in the trade pacts. It took the peculiar veto power of Wallonia to open the closed doors of this pact, thereby providing three million people with an 11th-hour deal for themselves. Is this any way to make some of our most momentous policy decisions?
The Sham Tribunals Here is what was written about these tribunals in a spate of articles three years ago, as their consequences became evident. In the Guardian: their hearings "are held in secret, the judges are corporate lawyers, many of whom work for companies of the kind whose cases they hear. Citizens and communities...have no legal standing. There is no right of appeal."2 A New York Times article and editorial pointed out how "big tobacco" had been using these tribunals to "intimidate" and "bully" poor countries into rescinding regulations intended to control the use of tobacco. The health minister of Namibia reported receiving "bundles of letters" from the industry about its attempts to curb smoking rates among young women.3
As for our rich country, Canada, with regard to NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement), one Canadian official reported seeing "the letters from the New York and DC law firms coming up to the Canadian government on virtually every new environmental regulation and proposition in the last five years" (in the Guardian article). Before the trade negotiations for the EU-US pact had even begun, according to another New York Times article, European officials were "consulting with business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic on how to structure a free-trade pact…. Among other things, the business community was seeking an active role in writing new regulations."4 Cry for democracy Minister Freeland.
The recent Canada-EU agreement has removed the most abusive aspects of these tribunals. But not the tribunals themselves, whose very existence is abusive, as are some other aspects of the agreement. Here is what a prominent group of Canadians with extensive experience on this issue wrote in a open letter to the people and parliamentarians of Wallonia. This "agreement will impose new constraints in many...areas of public policy", including "pharmaceutical regulations, public health, agriculture… [and] labor rights."5 This undermining of democracy by democratically elected government is happening in Trudeau's Canada, not Erdogan's Turkey.
Time to use our own courts Democratic countries have laws and courts dedicated to protecting all their citizens and institutions. We don't need special courts outside our borders devoted to the protection of private capital. We should be challenging in these courts the self-assumed right of our governments to bargain away our basic rights as citizens. Strike down this travesty of justice in just one country and watch the whole house of cards come down.6
Globalization needs to be constrained, not further entitled. Continue to allow it to trump democracy and watch the rise of more Donald Trumps.

As I mentioned in the GY Shift last night, I had an interesting start to my work day by witnessing the start of a police chase. A motorcycle with a cop car behind him pulled in to the parking lot as if it were a regular stop. I looked away as to not be nosy, but then I heard the engine roar and looked up to see Mr. Biker haul ass through the lot to the other side. I guess he thought the cop slowing to turn, and the speed bumps in our lot, would give him the chance to get away. he didn't, I know this because later 5 cops showed up and told me so when they spent an hour and a half scouring the front property for a bag of drugs they believe he ditched. They didn't talk to me when they left so I have no idea if they found it or not. I could take a walk tonight and a hundred bucks or so of drugs tonight (doubtful).
In other news, today is Super Tuesday, so a large portion of America is heading to support their primary candidate. I'm not seeing any real surprises in store for today, Trump will probably lock down the most victories, further proving America has lost its fucking mind, and Sanders supporters will probably be extra belligerent so be careful in any gawker comments sections. But you know what would be really Super? if i could actually get a full 8 hours of sleep, back to bed I go.

By: Li Ling Lee/Co-editor in Chief
Principal of Curriculum and Instruction, Mr. Matthew Nebzydoski, has qualified for the Boston Marathon for the fourth time. He participated in the Steamtown Marathon on October 8, 2017 with a time of 3hrs, 14min, 11sec. For his age group, the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon had to be between 3hrs, 15min, 00sec and 3hrs, 45min, 00sec.
Nebzydoski got his start in running after college when he started cycling to stay in shape for skiing, but it eventually led to running when he decided to start competing in triathlons. Noticing how running seemed to be a strength during the triathlons, the sport stuck and he began joining more and more running events. Nebzydoski has many friends who are active, so when together, they enjoy biking and running, which helps him stay motivated, but ultimately, he said that running becomes a part of your lifestyle.
Nebzydoski is also the cross country coach here at Blue Ridge. He said that when training for marathons, coaching the team is a great motivator since he often runs with the team as he supervises their workouts. For the Steamtown race, he had a lot of support from the cross country team since they were at the event, helping pass out water to the runners at the mile 3 stop.
"It's awesome in a race like Steamtown to see familiar faces along the course," said Nebzydoski, who appreciated having his team there for support.
Although this is his fourth time qualifying, 2019 will be the first time Nebzydoski will actually participate in the marathon. Previously, he did not participate due to the challenges of preparing for a spring marathon. The drastic weather fluctuations that take place in NEPA is an example of these obstacles. Proper training consists of embarking on 15-20 mile long runs in March.
While qualifying for the marathon has not always been a goal of his, Nebzydoski says it has grown on him. He stated that the longer he's been running, the more he has appreciated the historic significance of the race. Since the Boston Marathon is one of the few in the country that requires a qualification, Nebzydoski said that he would like to have the experience of competing in one of the country's most historic races at least once.
To anyone who may be thinking about running or training for a marathon, Nebzydoski has some words of advice.
"Proper training is the key. 26.2 miles requires fitness, endurance, and mental focus. I recommend finding some experienced runners and train with them."
As the race approaches in 2019, the Raider Reader wishes a good luck to Mr. Nebzydoski.
The Raider Nation will be cheering you on every step of the way!

Howard Schultz continues his project in trying to be a presidential candidate with no concrete policy ideas or, as far as anyone can tell, policy knowledge, giving the country things that might make nice slogans or amusing little stories to sell coffee and hoping we'll think they'll work for leading a country.
Speaking to the Commonwealth Club of California, he offered this take on making Congress work better:
Instead, Schultz said, Congress ought to do what he used to do at Starbucks board meetings — put an empty chair at the table, to represent the customer. In Schultz's version of Washington, he said, the same empty chair would be installed in all government meetings to represent the average citizen.
This sounds familiar.
What's a great counterweight to the flood of corporate and lobbyist money to Congress that has created a government that doesn't act in the best interests of the public (something that Schultz correctly identifies as a problem)? A chair to make everyone feel guilty!
His whole campaign feels more like a hostage-taking than a serious attempt to get elected: if you vote for an "extreme" candidate I'll come in and ruin it all – you've been warned. It's not appealing, it's not good for the country, and it's not even good for Howard Schultz, who seems to be working toward his place in history being that of a weird political footnote.

As I explained in Part 1 of this review, Jejoongwon recreates events in the late Joseon dynasty which led to the founding of the country's first Western-style hospital. Many of its characters are based on people who lived through those events, whose names remain unchanged in the drama.
Despite sticking fairly close to the annals, Jejoongwon never feels dry or documentary-like. As you watch, you will find yourself immersed in the stories that it paints, transported to an era that feels foreign and yet intimately familiar, ancient and yet newly modern. You may even become curious about the hospital and desire to learn more about its history. Such is the power and poignancy of its storytelling.
For now, let us meet the three leads of the drama. Without giving away major spoilers, I would like to offer you a glimpse into their individual stories and show you how their shared destinies began. I will devote Part 3 to the supporting cast and characters.
Park Yong-woo as Little Dog/Hwang Jung
The first thing you notice when you enter Little Dog's house, in that dingy room that he shares with his parents, is a wall lined with pages and pages of words.
If you're not a neighbor (for what reason then did you come to this village of pariahs?), you might take a step back, your eyes widening at the last thing you would expect to see in a butcher's home. Writing on the wall?
But if you're a neighbor, you don't even cast a second glance at the yellowing paper. Like everyone in the village, you know that Little Dog has always been different. You recall how years ago, a stranger had come to stay in the village, he an ailing scholar with little regard for hierarchical shackles. This man brought with him knowledge so enticing, a little boy would spend hours hunkered on the floor, meticulously copying the words that the stranger wrote down for him. This little boy, so sheltered by his loving mom he had no idea the world that existed beyond the confines of the village was far different from his own, grasped the lessons with such speed and ease the scholar was astonished.
Did the boy gloat to the other children that he was now more learned than they were? No. He taught them to read and write. He, so small in stature, became their teacher.
But what is the use of being schooled if your destiny is the same as your father's, and your father's father? Does being literate help you better slaughter a cow? Will it prevent you from being kicked and spat upon when you accidentally knock into a yangban while you are out delivering meat? Will it earn money that you need desperately now, because your mother is so ill she can barely stand?
Stop being foolish, Little Dog. Be the best butcher and forget everything else.
I have loved Park Yong-woo since watching him in For Horowitz and My Scary Girl some years ago. He made me laugh in those two movies with his self-effacing humor and an innocence that belied the ages and characters that he played so effortlessly. That mischievous twinkle in his eyes and that bashful smile… He was someone you could bring home to mom and not worry about getting an earful on your poor taste. In fact you might even have to fight mom for hey-Yong-woo-come-sit-next-to-me space.
In Jejoongwon Park Yong-woo plays a man born into the lowest rung of society, who then claws his way up to become a man with a new name bestowed by the king, and with a place in the history books. ("Little Dog" is merely a nickname; butchers were as good as animals and thus deemed undeserving of human names.)
The journey from butcher Little Dog to surgeon Hwang Jung, from abattoir to the king's palace, spans more than twenty years.
In that long passage of time, the dilemmas and hardships he faces will wear even the most battle-scarred down. The obstacles often seem insurmountable, and why shouldn't they be? He is a baekchong after all. He can't possibly overturn centuries-old societal strictures and hope to emerge unscathed, alive even. Some of the most unforgettable scenes in the drama are of Hwang Jung so defeated and so despairing you want to reach into the screen and tell him, "Stop. That's too much suffering for even one man."
Because he doesn't cry pretty, you reason, your love for him rushing to the fore in a protective embrace that can't be realized because a damned TV screen separates you from him. No, his face crumbles, like a child who has looked forward to an outing for weeks and then arrives to find the amusement park shut for repairs. In one scene where his spirits are at their lowest, he screams till you think his lungs might burst, he thrashes on the ground like one having seizures, he is so racked with pain you think surely death is preferable to this.
Because the emotions are so raw, you see. When he is nervous it shows, in the trembling of his voice, in the way his shoulders shake, like one shivering in the cold. He has spent so much of his life with his eyes lowered in deference, it will take years for him to unlearn what has now become a reflex.
But when he is happy (and such scenes are many, because Jejoongwon is an uplifting drama after all, rather than one that leaves you depressed), the joy just radiates from his face. When he throws his head back and laughs out loud, you laugh along with him. It does not matter whether his laughter is natural or forced (because sometimes he laughs to hide his discomfiture in front of the girl he loves). What matters is that it is too contagious to ignore, and that it makes your own spirits leap.
Last year I watched a drama where the lead actor's acting could be best summed up in one word: Pure.
It was acting so sublime I wanted to cry. I thought surely it would be a few years before I chanced upon acting of that same caliber. Little did I realize that it would take just one year for another actor to come along and equal, if not surpass, Hwang Jung-min's. Park Yong-woo's turn as Hwang Jung is one of the top three best (ever) performance by an actor (male or female) in a drama.
It's not just because there's such purity in his acting it doesn't feel like acting at all. Time and again while watching Jejoongwon, I catch myself thinking thus of Park Yong-woo: "The guy is in his late thirties, but his acting has such an unsullied and untainted quality about it I feel as though I'm watching a child! Not childishness but childlikeness. He comes across as being so earnest, heartfelt and sincere."
I know. I sound like I'm unleashing a thesaurus of praise words, repeating what is essentially the same thing. I can't help it! Fabulous acting always makes me squeal. Fabulous acting by a favorite actor in a superb drama reduces me to an incoherent mess.
Yeon Jung-hoon as Baek Do-yang
Much as I love the Hwang Jung character, it is enigmatic Baek Do-yang that I find endlessly fascinating.
Imagine being born into nobility. Then imagine being born above nobility, to the Justice Minister himself. Not only that, he is the latter's only son. His future all but assured, the only thing left for Do-yang to do is to pass the civil exams and find himself a beautiful bride.
He will accomplish both easily, of course. Isn't he already the top student in the royal academy? Isn't it a foregone conclusion that the most beautiful girl in all of Hanseong will be his wife? Still, there is the tiny matter of is-it-signed-sealed-delivered-yet? Even though they have known each other since they were children, he will still need to formally ask for her hand. He will still need to tell her how he feels.
But neither marriage nor the upcoming exam is the most important thing to Do-yang right now. His immediate goal is to become a doctor trained in Western medicine. Everything else can wait.
For that reason he has been secretly reading all the medical books that he can lay his hands on. (His father is adamant that Do-yang enter the civil service.) He has been a frequent visitor to his beloved's house, for her father is an interpreter and speaks English fluently. The American medical missionaries are all friends of the interpreter, thus giving Do-yang the opportunity to talk to them and learn the latest advancements in modern medicine.
Everything seems to be going Do-yang's way, until one night when a reckless (and most unthinkable) decision leads him to Little Dog.
Two men together in one room. One of them a minister's son, the other a butcher's. The former orders the latter to perform a most horrifying act of desecration. Thus their paths cross, for the first time. And will cross again and again, until both find themselves in a place called Jejoongwon.
For the first time in his life, Do-yang learns that no matter how hard he tries, someone else will seemingly be always better than him. Someone else will hog the limelight that he, Do-yang, seeks. This someone will even threaten his long-cherished relationship with the girl that he had been so sure he would marry.
This upstart, this competition… Now nothing else ceases to matter except defeating this man called Hwang Jung. This new mission will rock Do-yang to the very depths of his moral being and force him onto paths he could never imagine taking.
I've only watched Yeon Jung-hoon in one previous work: Daddy-Long-Legs. The impression he left on me following the movie is akin to two ships passing each other in the dark. In other words, no recollection of the event whatsoever.
If he was bad in that movie I would have remembered him (and vowed never to touch anything else he did). If he was good I would have dashed out and bought me a roomful of everything he did. Alas, he was just… forgettable.
Watching the first episode of Jejoongwon (and when I wasn't gazing entranced at Park Yong-woo, palms cupping my chin), I thought, "Hmm, Yeon Jung-hoon's acting is pretty awful here." He sneered too much. He smirked too much. He swaggered like he owned the world, which didn't sit at all well with me, especially not when my poor Hwang Jung was getting his hide (his own, not the cow's) beaten to a pulp.
I can't recall exactly when it happened, but somewhere in the early episodes Yeon Jung-hoon's acting stopped looking like a year's worth of posturing and became… good. And actually got better and better. His eyes were on fire when they had to be; they were tender and soft in scenes that demanded restraint; he became a Baek Do-yang that I came to care for. When he ditched his old hairstyle in so very dramatic a manner, I didn't snicker. I nodded in approval and said, "Yes, that is so you, Baek Do-yang. Bravo!"
Some of the most memorable scenes in the drama are of Do-yang startling us, because his actions run contrary to the man that we think he is. Then we realize that we can't pin him down; the guy is an enigma. Brilliance can do that to you.
In a drama where Park Yong-woo gave a Daesang-worthy performance (he'd better garner some year-end awards or else I'm going to break some windows), Yeon Jung-hoon held his own despite an uneven start. I bet many viewers rooted for his Do-yang character because of its layers of complexity, and sympathized with him in spite of his arrogance. After all, he just wanted to excel, to be the very best doctor in Joseon. What's so wrong with that?
Han Hye-jin as Yoo Seok-ran
Expect a certain monster to rear its head when you watch Yoo Seok-ran. Specifically a monster with green eyes.
Not only is Seok-ran beautiful, she is the only daughter of parents who believe in bequeathing confidence, freedom and as much education as she desires. She speaks English, she sings in English, she holds her own among the foreigners who come to visit her father at their house. And speaking of house, take a look at her room and its modern fittings, with a bed and quilted covers so soft and inviting your insomnia instantly vanishes, and with a dressing table that comes complete with a large mirror, even!
Now take a peek inside her wardrobe and tell me if you do not faint to see the number of exquisite hanboks that she owns, many of them refashioned in a modern style.
Despite the obvious material comforts, Seok-ran remains humble and kind to everyone she meets. To the butcher Yard Dog, who delivers meat regularly to her house, she is gracious and gentle. Little does she know he will turn out to be… Hwang Jung's dad.
Ah, Hwang Jung. The man she saved. This shy man. Why does Do-yang seem to hate him so? Wherefore the rivalry between the two men, so particularly intense on Do-yang's part?
She and Do-yang have known each other for years, even though he is a yangban and she is of the chungin (middle) caste. Their families are close, since her father is both a court interpreter and a merchant with widespread contacts. Her mother's greatest hope is to see her and Do-yang married, the sooner the better. Her father, the one who taught her English, just wants her to be happy, with whomever she desires (although one of noble birth would be preferable, of course).
Raised thus with her parents' twin hopes, Seok-ran finds herself nevertheless drawn to Hwang Jung. His nervousness around her. His gentleness around others. His dogged determination to gain acceptance into Jejoongwon. The happiness she feels with him.
I first watched Han Hye-jin in 1% of Anything and thought she was exceptionally pretty and rather promising, acting-wise. Next was Be Strong Geum Soon, which I watched bits of when it aired on a local station. Third was Terroir which I paid good money for, all because of Kim Ju-hyuk (who wowed me in awesome Blue Swallow).
Because of the money, and KJH, and a misguided belief that I should watch at least two episodes of anything before I could share credible first impressions with my blog readers, I plodded on, growing more agitated by the minute. The plot made no sense! But worse than that was the lead actress's over-the-top overacting. Yes, I deliberately mentioned "over" twice. I cursed and swore and vowed never to watch a Han Hye-jin drama again.
Never make such sweeping vows, dear readers. I stand before you today as one eating humble pie, grateful to be proven WRONG.
My biggest surprise watching Jejoongwon was Han Hye-jin. What a complete turnaround role from terrifying Terroir. Appropriately reined-in here, her appearance is both luminous and elegant. But what struck me the most was the gentleness with which she interpreted her role. Not a glimpse of overacting at all.
Since finishing Jejoongwon, I have replayed (too many times to count) a particular scene.
Seok-ran has just discovered Hwang Jung's past as a butcher and is grappling with the enormity of that realization. Her eyes fill with tears as she recollects their encounters and how he had given away too many clues which she failed to grasp, until now. It is a scene that I can't get enough of, because of the flashbacks and the plaintive song that plays, and because of Seok-ran's sorrow and Han Hye-jin's quiet acting. In fact, I think I'll go and replay it now. Part 3 of this review will be up as soon as I can tear myself away from that scene.

Fly Fishing Strategies - Which Fly To Use - Part 1
Current and Forecast Stream and Weather Conditions
We had some very welcome rain last night. At 8:45 this morning, It seems to be over in Pigeon
Forge and according to the radar, it has ended in the park. According to the National Weather
Service Precipitation Map, most of the park received about three-quarters of an inch with much of it
getting up to an inch. Looks like some areas on the North Carolina side got a little more but it
appears that is just about the perfect amount of rain to keep the water levels up where they should
The stream levels are all headed up at the USGS stations which are all outside of the park. They
will continue to show the water rising for a while as the water drains from the higher elevations.
Today will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 67. Looks like it will remain windy for most of the day
as the cold front continues to pass.
Tonight's low at Gatlinburg will be around 39. Tuesday will be sunny with a high near 67. The wind
will die down to less than 4 mph. Tuesday night's low will be around 42.
Wednesday's high will be near 72 with a low of about 50.Thursday will bring about a slight change
of rain again. The high will be a cool 67, perfect Fall weather. Thursday night they are showing a
40 percent chance of showers with a low of around 46. The chance of rain continues into Friday
but it's reduced to only a 30 percent chance of showers.
The weekend looks great for anglers. Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 64 and a
low around 41 for Saturday night. Sunday should be sunny with a high near 67.
The weather forecast almost looks too good to be true. I hope they are right because if they are,
fishing conditions will remain excellent.
I will continue with the fishing strategies tomorrow.

Surf safely on public Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi hotspots are convenient when you're on the go but can be risky. Without the right protection, your personal information could become public.
Scammers are known to set up Wi-Fi hotspots so they can steal your passwords, usernames or credit card details. While FBI_Van_123 might sound legit, it's probably not an actual FBI hotspot.
This Stay Smart Online Week, make sure you're careful when using public Wi-Fi, especially when signing into any of your online accounts.
Here are some tips to help keep your information safe when using public Wi-Fi:
- Confirm the 'official' hotspot name from venue staff and manually connect your device to it. Don't let your device automatically connect to the first hotspot in its list.
- Check the privacy and security details before agreeing to the network's terms of use.
- Don't do your online banking or shopping, send confidential emails or enter your passwords or credit card details on public Wi-Fi. Wait until you're using a secure home, office or mobile connection.
- Use secure websites. Always look for a https ('s' stands for secure) in the website address and a padlock on the web browser.
- Install a reputable Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your device. When enabled, this boosts security by creating an encrypted 'tunnel' for your information to pass securely through public Wi-Fi networks.
- Turn on your firewall and virus scanner. Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorised access. Be sure to check your device and turn on its firewall (if applicable).
- Consider using the mobile data on your phone instead.

A few weeks ago, Richard Brubaker of All Roads Lead to China reported:
I just received an email from a friend who said that they were being told they could not renew their F visa fro within China anymore. A quick Skype to another confirmed that F visas cannot be extended past the Olympics.
That apparently is not the case, but the cost of an F visa has gone up quite a bit. In Richard's latest post:
Over the last 10 days or so, I have been fielding emails, Skypes, and phone calls from friends and readers about the pain in the butt that has become their extension process… and apparently the news is BAD. In a couple of cases, U.S. citizens were told they would have to pay 2300 RMB for a 3 month visa (same price as a usual 1 year). A 1 year visa.. a whopping 14000RMB!
Meanwhile, this is what we found over at bizCult:
1) F visas can be renewed within mainland China for six-month periods if you are of certain nationality. Citizens of developed countries, have no fear, your F visa renewal can be near. However since late last year, citizens from certain developing countries cannot have their F visas renewed, at least not in mainland China. Renewal in Hong Kong may be an alternative. African and Middle Eastern citizens appear to be those especially affected by the new stricter regulations. One consultant suggested citizens of countries in which suicide bombings typically occur will have more trouble renewing their F visa.
2) Consultants are at odds over whether F visa restrictions will tighten or lessen from now until the run-up to the Olympics. One consultant suggested the May through August period will be especially difficult to extend one's F visa. Another said she didn't think so, because government officials want to encourage business during the Olympic Games, so they will make it easy if one can demonstrate an Olympic-related business purpose.
3) The suggestion that F visas cannot be extended past the Olympics appears to be false, as renewals can be six months in duration.
4) Those who have broken Chinese law while holding F visas may have more trouble renewing them – duh.
For those of you that go to Hong Kong, read what the moderator of the Oriental List, Peter Neville-Hadley says:
Word has it that the duration of visas issued in Hong Kong continues to get shorter and shorter, down from one year to six months last year, and now down to a maximum of three months. Expect controls to continue to grow as the Olympics approaches, and possibly a shut-down in visa issuance altogether if the government panics as it did at the time of the Women's Conference.
He adds:
When deciding whether another person's individual experience with acquiring a visa is relevant it's important to note the following:
1. Whatever the current state of play, there's always someone who got round the rules either deviously or by accident. That doesn't mean you will.
2. The situation changes at very short notice.
3. Success in getting a visa of a certain type depends on where you apply for it. In general Hong Kong is the easiest place, where for many years visas requiring supporting paperwork elsewhere have been available without the need for any such thing.
4. Success can also depend on whether you are a national of the country where the application is being made. Foreigners who have permanent residence in Hong Kong have access to a better range of longer visas, in general.
5. Success can also depend on your nationality.
6. Success can also depend on your race: those of Chinese descent, with Chinese names or Chinese appearance, often get better visas with less fuss.
7. Success can depend on your planned point of entry, and method of passing through it (entries from Kyrgyzstan and Nepal in particular).
8. Success can depend on what you put down as your destination (Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, anywhere having a fit of the ab-dabs at the time, not recommended) and what you put down as your job. Don't be a photographer, be a marketing executive.
9. Having multiple previous visas in a passport can help to obtain on of longer duration.
We imagine many readers of this blog are holders of F visas. If you've been applying for an extension of your visa recently, share with us your experience in the comment section below.

Your purpose in life is to tell a story. You create the story with every decision you make every second of every day starting with what thoughts you choose to how you choose to feel about them.
Every interaction with every other soul is how you tell that story from the expression you put on your face to what you say with your eyes to the words you let pass your lips.
How your story will play out is entirely dependant on what you choose to do with those thoughts, feelings and interactions. The life you experience is the life you perceive, not the life that was given to you.
The biggest mistake humans make is failing to understand that nothing happens to you. You happen. You are the creator of your life. YOU ARE YOUR LIFE.
If you are unhappy make great efforts to change the way you perceive your life. You have the power to change everything. You can at all times do anything you want to do. Understand this, learn from the bad decisions and start making the right ones in the knowledge that they will shape everything that comes after.

Romania's central bank drafted a plan to meet the country's target of adopting the euro as early as 2012, central bank Governor Mugur Isarescu said.
The National Bank of Romania in the proposals handed over to the government outlined priorities such as balancing public spending with falling inflation rates, interest rates, stronger capital markets and a stable currency, Isarescu said. "We proposed the government a plan with a consolidation period stretching over the next three to four years during which most structural reforms should be completed," Isarescu said last night at a banking seminar in Bucharest. He didn't give the details of the plan.
Romania, which will become the European Union's second largest eastern member on January 1, is keeping to its plans to start its two-year period test of currency stability, known as the exchange-rate mechanism, anytime between 2010 and 2012 and adopt the euro no later than 2014, Isarescu said. "It may well happen that these catalysts consisting of joining the EU now and adopting the euro afterwards may weaken if we postpone entry" in the exchange-rate mechanism "excessively," Isarescu said.
Romania, like Slovakia, which joined the EU in 2004, is holding to its euro-adoption timetable, even as others in the region, including the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary, are delaying the switchover to the common European currency because either inflation is too fast or spending is out of control. Romania's inflation, at a 17-year low of 4.8% in October, is now lower than Hungary's 6.3%. "Same as the way Slovakia jumped in front of the Czech Republic, I don't rule out that Romania may adopt the euro before Hungary or other new members of the EU," Isarescu said. "The most important thing though is not repeating their mistakes." Isarescu
aid that although it reached record low levels in the past five months, "inflation isn't yet a solved problem in Romania." The central bank will keep to its policy of directly targeting the inflation rate until the country enters the exchange-rate mechanism to make sure disinflation continues, he said. (Bloomberg)
