'Teacher beheaded' France shocked to terror... 
Remembrance spread 'Protecting freedom of expression'


A French history teacher who taught a class related to "freedom of expression' was found beheaded on street near Paris being shocked. The suspect was Chechen refugee and shot by the police near the murder site. A few days before the crime, one parent posted the teacher's personal information and school address on Social Network Services and becoming controversy. Fellow teachers were determined to continue teaching freedom of speech without giving in to the terrible beheadings. Citizens foretold one after another of rallies of solidarity and resistance across France.   

On the 16th, local media such as Daily Le Parisian reported that Samuel Petty(47), middle school history teacher, was murdered near school in Kongplan Santorin, Evelyn Province. When the victim taught about freedom of expression in class on the 5th, the discussion was conducted using caricature by Charlie Hebdo based on the Islamic prophet Muhammad facing with backlash from some parents.


A disgruntled family filed a lawsuit against Petty. Petty responded back to charges against defamation. But, there were also parents who defended Petty. Petty also showed satirical cartoon of Charlie Hebdo as a part of a history class. Petty respected Muslim students giving them permission to leave the classroom if the wanted. As his class became controversial, Petty received several blackmail calls at school. Petty felt the threat and used residential area when leaving work rather than a usual path.


By a report by AFP on the 17th, the suspect was Abdullah A(18) from Chechen. He was staying in France as a refugee. Shortly after the crime, He posted a post on Twitter saying "I executed a demon who neglects Muhammad" along with a picture of the victim. Abdullah was killed by the bullets shot by police near the murder scene. According to eyewitness accounts, he shouted the Quran phrase meaning "God is the greatest." before he was killed. 


President Emmanuel Macron called for strong civil solidarity against terrorism at the site visited late this night saying "One of our comrades was murdered for teaching freedom of expression, freedom of faith and disbelief."

A few days before the incident, it was revealed that the parents of this school revealed the victim's name and school address on social media. A parent who was dissatisfied with Petty's class sued him and uploaded his identity followed by a tragedy. Eventually, the parents were arrested. 

Prosecutor Jean Francois Reciard of the France's National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutors' Office(PNAT) said that he is investigating whether the crime is planned or whether there is an accomplice. Prosecutor Reciard added about this case saying "It shows the seriousness of terrorism which France faces."

The French Secondary Teacher's Union said on the 17th "Many teachers are in grief. But, we will not be shrunken. We will continue to teach freedom of expression. We will not avoid even if the topic is difficult. We will encourage students' criticism. We will try to convey that everyone has the right to object."

The French were once again angry because they recalled the incident in 2015 when Charlie Hebdo used Muhammad as the subject of satirical cartoon became a target of Muslims ending up killing 12 people in the editorial office in a gut terrorist attack. In front of the school where Petty was beheaded, hundreds of citizens decorated white roses in commemoration. Rally will be held in Place de la République, Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Nantes, Marseille, rill and Bordeaux.

 'Gas stations will change'... 
4 oil refinery company, started 
charging business for electric vehicle


In Korea, we have 4 oil refinery company such as SK energy, GS Caltex, Hyundai Oilbank and S-Oil. These companies established a service system with charger manufacturers and charging service companies in order to convert their gas stations to electric vehicle charging station. It is part of a future strategy to respond to the growing demand for electric vehicles.

The oil refining industry is planning to gradually convert the existing gas station to an charging station from next year. All 4 refineries established a cooperation system with electric vehicle charger manufacturers and charging service companies. Is has begun to convert gas stations nationwide into electric vehicle charging stations. Now, we can experience the change in the era of electric vehicles when looking at all four refineries have secured necessary service technologies and product for the electric vehicle charging business. 

Most of refineries have partners and are making models in the form of directly operating charging stations. According to the service business strategy for each company, they plan to establish systematization of charging facilities and service models in its own form from next year. 

As the electric vehicle market is still in its infancy, through government subsidy projects minimizing initial investment, they plan to gradually increase the amount of conversion to ultra fast chargers at charging stations according to electric vehicle demand. SK energy will install and operate 190 charging stations by 2023. GS Caltex will build 160 and Hyundai Oilbank will build 200. From 2022 onwards, the conversion of charging stations is expected to accelerate considering the situation in which there are only a few electric vehicle models capable of super fast charging of 300kW or higher. 

These four refineries plan to expand not only gas stations but also distribution to charging service infrastructure while specializing in specific rates and service systems for corporate customers such as freight electric trucks and electric taxis.

Self-massage using massage ball

 Self-massage using massage ball


With the development of science such as the AI industry, our lives have become more convenient. But, as the frequency of movement of the body decreases, the importance of exercise is being emphasized. Many people know that maintaining the right posture and proper exercise is essential. Including me, it is hard to practice and the amount of exercise decreases. As the posture collapses, it is exposed to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and this causes pain throughout the body. In order to solve these problems, it is important to perform prevention and treatment such as massage, stretching and physical therapy when it is needed. Today I'd like to introduce you the representative areas that needs massage and how to do self-massage. 

How can I recover my unstable body?
Typical musculoskeletal disease include turtle neck, round shoulder, twisted spine and pelvis. If you use a cellphone or computer for a long time, you may get an imbalance in your body. When the body's alignment becomes unstable, certain parts become tense and others may weaken. In this case, the weakened part should be restored to the muscle function. And tensioned areas should be relieve by stretching or massaging. At this time, you can use your hands but you can use a tool called a 'self-massage ball' for more efficient massage. 
Features of self massage ball
The self-massage ball is aimed at relaxing muscles through compression. Because of this, it has a solid and round shape for rolling. The shape is largely divided into two types which single and double. By the way, I personally have both types. The double massage ball can be used to accurately massage the area where both sides are symmetrical around the spine. 
Single Massage Ball : It is a generally known round ball shape that allows intensive massage to areas that are difficult to reach. (Recommended areas : sole, calves, buttocks, thighs, arms)
Double Massage Ball :  It has two single balls attached to it. And, the middle part is a little apart making it look like a peanut. Therefore, it helps to avoid feeling awkward when massaging the back, waist, and pelvis while lying down. (Recommended area : pelvis, waist, back, scapula(between wing bones), under the back of the head, armpits)
Let's take care of yourself anywhere with a massage ball
Body discomfort can come anytime anywhere. In particular, physical discomfort caused by long-term desk work in the office must be managed. Put a massage ball in your bag or keep it in your office drawer and do a self-massage during breaks. You can prevent musculoskeletal disorders and body pain by pressing your body down as you normally do. 
(I'd like to share personal experience. I have all kinds of massage ball including peanut ball and single ball. I prefer trigger point massage ball or literally tennis ball worked good for me. I massage about an hour after work. I have all kinds of pain around neck, shoulder, back, pelvis and hip joint. Without these, I cant even get up next morning. You will be able to find out more video online. Enjoy!)

Chuseok

September 22, 2020 0 Comments

 Chuseok

Chuseok is a term referring to the full moon of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. It is the leading holiday of the year meaning the month in the middle of autumn and the day in the middle of August. 


If you interpret Chuseok literally, it means that autumn evening and furthermore the moonlight in autumn is the best night. Also, it has the meaning of a good holiday when the moon is exceptionally bright. Therefore, Chuseok can be said to be a term with a very symbolic meaning. 


The night of Chuseok called moonrock since moonlight is the best on Chuseok. The holiday food for New Year's Day is rice cake soup. Otherwise, the holiday food of Chuseok is Song Pyeon. In holidays, ancestral rites are made and family, relatives and neighbors share a meal. So Song Pyeon is a symbol of autumn. 


In Korea, we have seasonal food because  it is extremely sensitive to the season. And we have four season. Among many kinds of rice cake, Gae Pi rice cake and Song Pyeon are spring and autumn foods since whether is neither hot nor cold. Song Pyeon in spring refreshes old rice with pine from pine sol. But, Song Pyeon in autumn makes the scent of pine more clear. 


Song Pyeon is made by kneading rice flour into a round shape with fresh green beans, sesame, chestnut, jujube, sweet potato, dried persimmon, cinnamon powder, etc. The name Song Pyeon was given because pine needles were laid every time it was steamed. Taro soup with Song Pyeon is also served on the occasion of the Chuseok holiday. Taro soup is boiled by mixing kelp and beef. Also there are several kinds of Korean pancakes which is made with flour and eggs. These foods are also for Chuseok memorial service table.  Steamed chicken goes on that table. For Chuseok, wee prepare various kinds of seasoned vegetables. 


Korean service those foods for ancestors on memorial service table. Descendant bow two times in front of the table. After that, family and relatives sit around the big table and share food talking each other. 


Many people in Korea postpone visiting parents' and relatives house because of corona crisis. I hope Corona crisis is finished so we can get back to normal life.
