I love fish and the smell from Fish & Chip shops is mmm mmm MMM. So armed with my packet of gluten free bread crumbs last week I was inspired to make a Fussy foodie friendly gluten free breaded fish.
What you need: Fish of your choice (I had a mixed bag of salmon, haddock and smoked haddock – diced), Gluten free breadcrumbs, gram flour, coriander (or other favourite spice/herb), vegetable oil, a lemon and salt & pepper.
The main challenge was to make a mixture that would stick the breadcrumbs to the fish.
In a small bowl I mixed a tablespoon of gram flour with a a pinch of coriander, salt and pepper. Then added a squeeze of lemon and a drop of water to get a slightly thick liquid.
Coat your pieces of fish in the mixture and leave to one side.
When the oil is ready fry the breaded fish gently a few pieces at a time in the pan, turning and browning on both sides.
Once ready remove the fish from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
That's it the fish is ready to serve.
I enjoyed my Gluten Free Breaded Fish, with peas, mash potato and a big squeeze of lemon. They went down a treat with me and my partner Phil loved them.

The "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven"
Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace, is the largest of the Five Grand Palaces. Located in northern Seoul, South Korea, Gyeongbokgung was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty, and is one of the most iconic sights in all of Korea. Construction on Gyeongbokgung Palace was completed in 1395 at the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty during the reign of King Taejo.
Gyeongbokgung, that means "palace greatly blessed by Heaven", and was built in the heart of Seoul surrounded by Mount Bugaksan and Mount Namsan. When construction was completed, Gyeongbokgung Palace became the heart of the capital of Korea along with the head of state of the Joseon Dynasty. The place is absorbing, and the chance to stroll the dusty paths between its delicate tile-roofed buildings is one of the most enjoyable experiences Seoul has to offer.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is a very big area with many buildings and details to explore. The layout consists of the outer courts, inner courts, pavilions, etc. There are also two museums located on the grounds of the palace. The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong.
We started our tour at Gwanghwamun, the palace's southern gate. Entering through the first courtyard – Gwanghwamun gate
Gwanghwamun Gate is the imposing main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The gate has been rebuilt many times over the years but remains an icon of Seoul. Construction began in 1395 at the beginning of the Joseon dynasty. The gate quickly became one of the most important gates of the Joseon Dynasty since it guarded the main palace. During the Korean War, the wooden gatehouse was destroyed once again. It was rebuilt using concrete and remained this way until 2006.
In December 2006, work began to restore Gwanghwamun to its original wooden specifications. The restoration work paid special attention to historical details. On August 15, 2010, restoration work was completed.
In the main gate, the palace provides free guides, and free brochures with details about Gyeongbokgung. However, we couldn't seem to catch an English tour anywhere so we just roamed around the Palace grounds on our own. After we passed Gwanghwamun gate, we entered the second gate – Heungnyemun Gate
Heungnyemun
Heungnyemun Gate is the second inner gate into Gyeongbokgung Palace. The gate is located just past Gwanghwamun Gate, the main gate of the palace. When originally built in 1426, the gate was known as Hongnyemun. It was not renamed to Heungnyemun until 1867 when Gyeongbokgung Palace was rebuilt under the orders of Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun.
After we walked through the Heungnyemun gate, we entered the main throne hall of Gyeongbokgung palace – Geunjeongjeon Hall
Geunjeongjeon Hall
Geunjeongjeon Hall is the main throne hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Originally built in 1395, Geunjeongjeon is now the largest and most formal hall at the palace where the King met his officials to discuss the problems of the country. This is also the place that the King gave his decree to publish his decision about the national importance. The name translates to "all affairs will be properly managed if Your Majesty demonstrates diligence." Despite being the largest wooden structure in the country, this two-level construction remains surprisingly graceful, with the corners of its gently sloping roof home to lines of tiny guardian figurines. The central path leading up to the building was once used only by the king, but the best views of its interior are actually from the sides.
After visited Geunjeongjeon we went to the next place named – Sujeongjeon Hall
Sujeongjeon Hall
Sujeongjeon Hall located to the south of Gyeonghoeru Pavilion was used as a sleeping quarter of the king and as a cabinet office during the Reform Movement of 1894. Originally, the hall located here was known as Jiphyeonjeon or Hall of Worthies. It was built by King Sejong during his reign from 1418 to 1450.
Located on a peaceful pond, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion is the most beautiful views at Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was the place holding the most important state banquet in Joseon Dynasty. It was also used to welcome important foreign visitors as envoys from other countries.
Gyeonghoeru Pavillion
Located to the east of Gyeonghoeru Pavillion is – Gangyeongjeon Hall
Gangnyeongjeon Hall, named after the virtue of health, the former living quarters and resting area for the king. It was first constructed in 1395 and was built in a checkerboard pattern of fourteen rectangular chambers and corridors. Fourteen chambers are divided into two sides with seven chambers on each side. The king also met with his entourage here to discuss daily activities, state affairs and office duties.
Gangnyeongjeon Hall
Our next visit was
Gyotaejeon Hall, located behind Gangnyeongjeon Hall, was the main residence for the Queen – the most powerful woman in the King's harem. Different from other concubines, the Queen had her own place to live. This was Gyotaejeon. The hall, which was built around 1440, served as the location where the queen oversaw the operation of the household at the palace. At the rear of Gyotaejeon Hall lies the garden of Amisan. This famous and beautiful garden features a terraced flower garden, decorated stonework, and four chimneys. These chimneys, hexagonal in design, were built around 1870 and feature decorative orange bricks and roof tiles.
Gyotaejeon Hall
Geoncheonggung Residence was built by King Gojong for the purpose of being politically independent of his father, Heungseon Daewongun. The residence was constructed in 1873, five years after Gyeongbokgung Palace was built. Jangandang Hall was where the king resided while Gonnyeonghap Hall was the residence of the queen. A library was built behind Jangandang Hall. In 1909 this area was demolished by the Japanese government. In 2007 after years of restoration and renovations, the area reopened with its former design.
Hamhwadang and Jipgyeondang Hall
Hamhwadang Hall and Jipgyeondang Hall, located north of Gyotaejeon Hall, is where King Gojong met with officials and welcomed foreign envoys when he resided at Geoncheonggung Residence. The exact purposes of the buildings are not known. It was believed that these halls were used as living quarters for concubines and court ladies. Hamhwadang Hall and Jipgyeongdang Hall are connected by a corridor that is a fine example of the once complex network of passageways of the original palace.
Hamwonjeon Hall, built during the reign of King Sejong, was believed to have been used as the location of many Buddhist events at Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hamwonjeon Hall has been damaged by fire and rebuilt many times throughout the years. The hall was last rebuilt in 1888.
Heumgyeonggak Pavilion, located near Gangnyeongjeon Hall was built in 1438 during the reign of King Sejong, and was used by the king for astronomical and agricultural observations and research. Heumgyeong means "respectful veneration of the ways of heaven."
Hyangwonjeong Pavillion
Hyangwonjeong Pavilion is a two-story hexagonal pavilion built on a small island in the middle of a lake on the northern grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The beautiful pavilion was built on an artificial island in the middle of Hyangwonji pond and connected to the grounds by a bridge named Chwihyanggyo. Coming to this part of the palace, you can admire the harmonious combination of the artificial constructions with the beauty of nature around.

New research indicates cinnamon is good for a lot more than just baking.
According to a study just published in the BMC Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a special variety of cinnamon may have potent anti-cancer effects.
The joint project between the National Park Service, Andong National University, and Kyonggi University in South Korea isolated extracts of Cinnamon cassia -- also known as Chinese cinnamon -- to study its anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells.
The scientists discovered that the cinnamon extract was able to halt the reproduction of human colorectal cancer cells and trigger apoptosis (cell death).
Cinnamon cassia decreased the cyclin D1 protein levels of the cancer cells, which is a key protein that allows cancer cells to infiltrate and spread to the healthy cells around them.
At the same time, the cinnamon extract killed off the cancerous cells by activating special protein complexes known as NF-κB and ATF3.
In effect, the activation of the proteins caused the cancer cells to "go nuclear" and destroy themselves.
The use of cinnamon to treat a variety of ailments goes back millennia, with records its medicinal properties dating as far back as ancient Egypt.
In fact, cinnamon was considered so valuable that it was often a gift for kings.
To make cinnamon, the stems of the cinnamomum tree are cut, and then the inner part of the bark is extracted and dried.
During the drying process, the bark naturally curls into rolls, forming the distinctive look of cinnamon sticks.
The sticks are then ground to create cinnamon powder.
The main compound in cinnamon is cinnamaldehyde and its responsible for most of cinnamon's amazing benefits.
At just a fraction of the cost of mainstream treatment options.

Moto Logo
Bajaj Logo
by Aleksei TitovLast Update: November 4, 2022 November 4, 2022 013996
Founder Jamnalal Bajaj
Headquarters Pune, India
Parent Bajaj Group
Owner Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
Official Site www.bajajauto.com
The automaker Bachraj Trading Corporation Private Limited began its work on November 29, 1945.
The primary goal of the young company was the supply to India of 2 and 3-wheeled wagons. Own company logo was not concerned with the company, limiting the use of blue for the name of the company.
The Bajaj brand was created only in 1972, to promote the company's own motor vehicles to domestic and foreign markets – motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, cars. In 1959 the company received a license for the production of motor and automobile equipment, and began production, the main task of which was the creation of compact and critically cheap vehicles for the domestic market.
The first scooter, Bajaj Chetak, was released in 1972, and during this period, the acquisition of its own brand identity for the company was principled.
The Bajaj brand is considered the creator of the first ATV manufactured in India. That was Bajaj RE60. This is no longer a tricycle, but it is not a car, although it can be argued with the latter because it is difficult to find differences outwardly, for it resembles a small hatchback. Compact and sufficiently protected (there are seat belts), Bajaj RE60 can move both on gasoline and on liquefied gas. But most importantly – the cost of this baby is a record low and does not exceed 2.5 thousand dollars, which is especially important for the Indian, as well as for other emerging economies.
The first logo appeared in the company roughly in the early 1970s and was a stylized letter "B," in blue and included in the circle. Subsequently, the circle gained volume, further harmonizing the logo.
The brand logo actually changed one day – in 2001, when besides manufacturing, the manufacturer intensified the export of its products. In the light of such changes, the need for the original brand logo became an urgent necessity, and the company's management turned to professional designers.
2004 – now
With the redesign of 2004, the concept of the Bajaj logo was completely changed, and only the color palette of the emblem from the previous version of the badge was taken to the new image. The new concept features a bold uppercase logotype in a custom sans-serif typeface, placed under a large emblem in the same shade of blue. The emblem of the automaker features an interesting element, which looks like a geometric bird flying to the right, and also looks like a stylized letter "B".
The first logo of the company for almost three decades of existence has won an absolute trust of consumers. However, in 2001 it was time for a change, and the owners of the brand trusted the design studio Elephant Design. From the harmonious, enclosed in a circle or even the sphere of a symbol, designers created a dynamic and stylish, more than independent and recognizable sign with a deep content. In fact, it's all the same as the first letter of the brand, but it's already quite different. The dynamics of the image are fascinating and allows you to attach your story to the success stories of the company.
Formally, the font logo was changed in principle only in 2001. From a fairly ordinary, quite symmetrical, but noticeably geometric, with protruding elements of letters, it turned into a steady-rhythmic one, each letter of which acquired completeness and seemed to be enclosed in an invisible square. The brand, thus, has found the missing solidity and self-confidence.
The color solution of the logo in the history of the brand has not fundamentally changed. Generally, it is difficult to overestimate the sign of blue for the company and Indian culture. Its symbolism, poise, and depth, throughout the whole period of the brand's existence, was aimed at forming a positive and trusting attitude towards the manufacturer.

So I figured the fastest way to get to Blasted Lands to farm herbs was by taking the teleport to BWL. What my sleep deprived mind didn't think about was that the entrance is in the middle of UBRS. I got lost while trying to make a break for the exit and accidentally jumped out into the Twisting Nether as a ghost, hence I need to get my character unstuck if that is possible.
Your character is teleported into the mall now, just open a ticket next time that happens.
quickest solution is to have someone invite you to a party to queue you for warsong. Next time use that and it'll save the GMs from needing to be involved. You can immediately afk out of the BG afterward.

I've been spending a lot of time in Denver lately. I like the city. Yesterday I went to another local bands concert with Mavi. This one was at the Bluebird on east Colfax. Today Ben and I went vintage clothes shopping at Buffalo Exchange, Boss, and American Vogue on Broadway. We also got pizza at a Famous Pizza, perused the Pacific Ocean Asian Market on Alameda, and got milkshakes at Grandpa's Burger Haven on Federal. Grandpa's is one of those crappy-looking burger stands in the bad part of town, where there's no place to sit and you probably wouldn't want to touch it if there was. But they have been repeatedly honored with the title of Best Burger in Town.
Other things to note are that I started ballet classes at the Arvada Center! I'm so happy to be dancing again. It feels so good to struggle into tights and put my hair in a bun. Best of all, the instructor just happens to be the best teacher I've ever had! I haven't seen her since 1995. We're both very excited to be in class together again.
Also, I've been voted by default to direct the next Movie Saturday. Stay tuned on the forum!
Ballerinas have changed quite a bit over the last century. Compare the photos below. On the left is Margot Fonteyn of the Royal Ballet as Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, circa 1955. On the right is Tamara Rojo, also of the Royal Ballet, striking the same arabesque in the same role, but in recent years.
Ballerinas always look a bit chunkier in old pictures. Although I think we can attribute some of the bulk to bad lighting and costumes (yea for lycra!), we can clearly see that dancers are getting slimmer.
Lines are more defined. Note how square Rojo strikes her pose: her hips and shoulders in line with her torso. Fonteyn's pose is more "open." Rojo's turnout is more pronouced. Her arms and fingers are more refined in their placement.
The sillouhoute of the legs has changed over the yearsl. In particular, it has become fashionable for dancers to have a slight backward curve at their knee, such that their standing leg is subtlely S- shaped. The foot itself has curved more. Look at the dancers' standing foot and note how the arch as increased. Rojo looks much more stable on her pointe than Fonteyn. These curves make the legs generally more tapered and willowy (like a Willi!). Fonteyn was hailed as brilliant in her day but she would look sloppy next to modern ballerinas.
After some intense Boggling, Jeff L. started doodling a portait–the kind where you don't lift up your pencil and you don't look at your paper. His results were so hilarious, we all made pictures of each other.
Jeff and Mavi: Life imitating art.
Bruce and Brian: Uncanny resemblences.
Brian looks a bit like Kim Jong, eh?.
Last weekend was the annual Incredibly Birthday party! In celebration of Jeff and Ben's January birthdays, we played board games, ate chilie dogs and root beer floats, and played games at the Nickel-A-Play arcade.
Trev and Nate on the left, Jeff "birthday boy" on the right.
Bruce, Brian, Matt and Ryan enoy their dinner, then get down with Luke, Tom, and Nate for some serious Boggle action.
I've been streaking my hair purple for a few years now. I went back again recently and was reminded why I don't keep it up for too long. First you separate strands. Then you mix and apply bleach, which can take up to an hour for application. Let it sit for 45 minutes or so, until most of the color is out. Wash and comb–no conditioner. This means combing can take another hour, because the hair is so brittle and tangled. Then separate back into strands (another 30 minutes), apply purple color and wait another 45. Finally, wash, condition, and comb. It takes a half a day to complete the process. Color touch-ups take only a couple hours, but whenever you want to redo the roots with bleach, it can take even longer than the initial treatment because you have to separate each strand precisely instead of just grabbing a chunk.
My favorite purple dye is being discontinued at my supply store. Their suggested replacement was terrible. It was only two days before it started fading to blue. In five days the blond was showing through at the tips as a sick green. I've got to find a new supplier.
Another fun contest on Worth1000.com. Link.
So far we've had a pretty nice weekend. Ben says the Aviator was a great movie. I'll take his word for it since I didn't go myself. Instead I made soup with Mavi and watched Mr. Show and music videos. She has a collection of Bjork videos. Bjork is pretty wild. Even for me.
Later last night we went to Bender's Tavern with friends from Denver to see Matson Jones. They're a good local band from Fort Collins. They have a really unique sound, but they need to diversify their music. Most of their songs have the same underlying rhythm and tone.
Tonight Trev's coming over to cook Hungarian food. It's a dish Brian wouldn't miss for anything: Rakott krumpli. Basically scalloped potatoes supreme. It's loaded with fat, but oh so tasty. I can't take more than a small bowlful. You can feel your stomach bloating. The pictures below are from the first time Trevor cooked it at my house last fall. Here's a link to an online recipe. Of course, Trevor is using authentic Hungarian sausage. He has a source in Las Vegas.
Recently I made a cat toy filled with nip. Because of it's shape, color, and the funny way my cat chews on it, we call it the pickle. Today I found a pattern for kitty.com for dim sum-shaped cat toys. Cute.
Movie Saturday should be starting up again soon. Our site got hacked, so communication has been weak. As far as I know, Shawn is set to direct and we'll probably do Bruce's script "Economy." Brian bought a new camera after his old one broke. We need to try it out!
Vail Pass on 12/30/04. Not a soul in sight.


LAHORE: The International Cricket Council's (ICC) technical committee on Sunday approved Nasir Jamshed as Muhammad Hafeez's replacement who will be unable to play the World Cup 2015 on account of a foot injury.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had approached the ICC technical committee recommending Nasir Jamshed as Hafeez's replacement.
Commenting on Muhammad Hafeez and Junaid Khan's departure the PCB Chairman, Shahryar Khan said it is not a good sign for Pakistan, but added that injuries are part of the game.

Q: From Xor to Milp formula In the most part of the text books on Mixed Integer Linear programming, one can find that
$P_1$ XOR $P_2$ XOR ... XOR $P_n$  can be transposed in
$p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_n = 1$ where each $p_i$ is a boolean variable associated to the propositions $P_i$.
This is done without any demonstration. This is intuitively evident and through the Normal conjunctive form easy to demonstrate for $n= 2$. But astonishingly, I am not able to demonstrate this for $n \geq 3$.
For instance here is what append with 3 propositions :
$P_1$ XOR $P_2$ XOR $P_3$ can be put in Conjunctive Normal Form as
$(\neg P_1 \vee \neg P_2 \vee P_3) \wedge (\neg P_1 \vee
   P_2 \vee \neg P_3) \wedge (P_1 \vee \neg P_2 \vee \neg P_3) \wedge (P_1 \vee P_2 \vee P_3)$
and transform as the following set of inequalities
$\begin{array}{l}(1-p1) + (1-p2) + p3 \geq 1\\
(1-p1) + p2 + (1-p3) \geq 1\\
p1 + (1-p2) + (1-p3) \geq 1\\
p1+p2+p3 \geq 1
\end{array}$
To obtain the desired result, from the 3 first equations one must deduce that
$p_1+p_2+p_3 \leq 1$
but obviously I do not know how to obtain this.
 Could some one help me.
In all cases thanks

Has Medicine Mistaken the Finger for the Moon?
Long Block Reflections: A year as a PCP has shown me some of the amazing things that modern medicine can accomplish, but also changed my perspective on what "health" truly is.
Art in Medicine: Art imitates life, and in this case it helps give clarity into some of the most difficult aspects of medicine.
Annals of Night Float: Sometimes to stay sane we have to recognize the absurdity of life.
Literature and Medicine: At the suggestion of a friend, I recently re-read The Grapes of Wrath and I was struck by the similarities between how landowners treated their farmers, and how doctors treat their patients.


The Gray Catbird is a medium-sized songbird in the mimid family. Other mimids include mockingbirds and thrashers. Mimids are known for their ability to mimic vocalizations of other birds. The Gray Catbird is named for its mewing cat-like call, but it is also able to mimic other sounds, including bird song, frog calls, and even man-made sounds.
Gray Catbirds live across much of the eastern two-thirds of North America. They are migratory, spending the winter along the Gulf Coast of the United States, Mexico, and Central America, as well as islands of the Caribbean and across the state of Florida.
The population of Gray Catbird is considered to be stable and the species has a conservation status of Least Concern as of July 2013.


Tomorrow I'll be picking up my artwork from this latest show that is sponsored by Clackamas County Arts Alliance.
Sue Allen, the curator and lady that personally hangs all the artwork in various buildings of our local community, has the whole process down to a science. Here's a photo of Sue hanging my paintings back in October at the beginning of the exhibition.

North Korea's Space Program Not to Lift off Any Time Soon
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) is making a third attempt to convince the world that it can launch spacecraft. Although Pyongyang claims that two satellites have been orbited, independent analysts are unable to detect them. Even if the third launch attempt proves successful, it is unlikely to be completely functional.
Pyongyang to Launch Third Satellite Soon
North Korean officials have announced plans to launch another spacecraft soon. A spokesperson for the Korean Committee of Space Technology has told the Korean Central News Agency that the launch will take place between April 12 and April 16. The satellite will be called Kwangmyŏngsŏng (Bright Star)-3.
Leading regional and world powers have called on the government of North Korea to renounce this idea. Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), France and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personally have made statements to this effect.
All the concerned parties note that the satellite's launch will become yet another glaring violation of UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea's rocket and missile programs. But this is nothing new for Pyongyang.
North Korea's Clandestine Missile Program
The North Korean rocket and missile program has been made possible by numerous violations of missile technology control regimes. After obtaining the required technology to produce R-17 Elbrus / SS-1 Scud-B tactical missiles, North Korea has managed to upgrade them considerably.
North Korea's so far substandard missiles do have a sufficiently long range. However, Pyongyang is only reliably capable of building tactical weapons at this stage. Advanced North Korean engineering products remain unreliable. Analysts describe their combat potential as unimpressive.
However, North Korea's neighbors, including the Republic of Korea and Japan, are inclined to take Pyongyang seriously, particularly against the backdrop of two nuclear tests, which were officially announced by Pyongyang in 2006 and 2009, respectively.
North Korea's space program obviously has a military dimension. In effect, satellite launches are being used to convince the United States that, if necessary, Pyongyang will be able to keep the United States in check. North Korean sources claim that a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching North America is currently being developed. This is the main aspect of an intricate situation created by Pyongyang strategists.
Space Launches and Wishful Thinking
Unlike purely military missile projects, the North Korean space program is an exercise in collective solipsism, a philosophical concept implying that only the self is sure to exist. But it appears that Pyongyang is now set to launch its third satellite.
Two spacecraft have been launched to date. But both launches were somewhat unusual.
The first North Korean launch vehicle, a converted Taepodong-1 ICBM, lifted off on August 31, 1998. On September 4, 1998, the North Korean media announced the launch of its first national man-made satellite. Media reports claimed that the spacecraft was broadcasting the melodies of two immortal revolutionary hymns / marching songs, "The Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "The Song of General Kim Jong Il." The official report said the satellite was also broadcasting the "Juche, Korea" signal in Morse code at a frequency of 27 megahertz. The media report also listed the specific parameters of the satellite's orbit.
This landmark North Korean science and technological breakthrough had one major flaw. No satellite was ever detected at an orbit with the officially mentioned parameters. U.S. and Russian tracking stations were unable to locate the spacecraft, which, as North Korea claimed, was swiftly revolving around the planet and broadcasting signals and melodies. Incidentally, no signals or melodies were received at any of the announced frequencies or any other frequencies.
North Korea attempted to launch another spacecraft using an upgraded Taepodong-2 ICBM in the spring of 2009. The national media once again claimed that the launch had been successful. The two popular marching songs were again broadcast at a frequency of 470 megahertz.
Independent analysts claimed that, just like its predecessor, the satellite had fallen into the Pacific Ocean or that, at best, it had entered a low orbit and fallen to Earth before tracking stations were able to register anything. In either case, no spacecraft was identified, and no one heard any marching songs.
The two satellites reportedly praising both great North Korean leaders exist only in the imagination of those who mostly receive information about the world from the North Korean media. Such people live in a gigantic inner empire, which has already started implementing its own space program, and which will soon unlock the secret of thermonuclear fusion.
This probably explains the fact that North Korea's Bright Star will never create any neologisms similar to the Soviet-era Sputnik spacecraft. A genuine North Korean space launch could be converted into a surge of absolutely sincere labor and ideological enthusiasm. This could also help awaken the country and facilitate its development.
However, Pyongyang is forced to simulate successful launches for the lack of any real success, which is not forthcoming. The country's government probably does not want to think about the mental turmoil of its citizens after they learn about the real state of affairs. North Korean officials probably think that the issue will become irrelevant after the country, at long last, manages to orbit a spacecraft that broadcasts marching songs about the two generals.
