In this world, some people living in rich countries worry about their health and start to go on a diet to lose weight. On the contrary, other people including many people in Africa, worry about starvation and lack of food. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), one child under ten years old dies every five seconds in some African, Asian, and Latin American countries.Why Are Half of the World's People on the Verge of Starvation?, written by Jean Ziegler, explains two causes of starvation. The first reason of starvation is due to sudden crises. For exampl

On National Foundation Day, I, one of the Gazette reporters, left for Provence Village in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. At first, I found the place through Internet surfing and got attracted to the picturesque scenery. If you like to take pictures, I highly recommend you visit Provence Village and photograph the beautiful buildings there.Paju Provence Village is modeled on Provence Village in France, and it was built in a sequestered country village in 1996. It started from a French restaurant. As time went by, many other things started to appear in Provence Village. There are ten buildings in Prov
What do you think is the common feature between the numbers 284 and 220? Maybe most people will find it difficult to answer the question. The feature the numbers have in common is that the total sum of each one's divisors is equal to the other number. This is called an "Amicable Number." This is just one of the unusual mathematical facts we are introduced to in Ogawa Yoko's novel The Professor and His Beloved Equations. The novel makes us aware of the meaning of life and love by using such unusual mathematical allusions. The main protagonist, Dr. Math, not only leaves a deep impression on the
Have you ever heard about pansori? Pansori is a type of Korean music. It is usually performed by two people, one singer and one drummer. It was proclaimed a “Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage” by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) on November 7, 2003. As pansori has influenced traditional Korean music culture, the movie Lineage of the Voice also deals with pansori and the lives related to it.

The book, Why Do I Love You, doesn't answer the question directly. However, if you read this book, you can feel sympathy with the author about love and understand the meaning of love more than before. The original title of Why Do I Love You was Essays in Love because the form of this book is an essay-writing style which helps you to understand the contents more realistically. Alain de Botton, an author who speciali

The musical the Last Empress has been showing off its fame and staying power since its first showing in 2007, recorded as the successful musical which had more than one million spectators. The reason that this musical could be one of the best representative performances is because it was made by such talented musicians: Korea representative composer Kim Hee-gab, lyricist Yang In-ja, and Australian musician Peter Casey, already famous for his musical arranging talent through his works Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar. Harmonized with the rhythm of orchestra and Korean traditional tunes, the Last
