Q: How to query a database with AngularJS? Using AngularJS, is it possible to query a database? Is there a best practice or preferred method for doing so?
I understand this can be done on a PHP Server, though what about a SQL Server?

A: The normal way to use data in Angular is to call your own web methods on your web server supporting the application. Those methods would then either call to SQL Server through code within that application or use other API's that would do those calls.
Even if you could, you would not want to do any kind of back-end call from the client.

Q: Replace motherboard capacitor with lower capacitance? Is it possible and safe to replace a motherboard capacitor of 1800uF, 6.3V with a capacitor of slightly lower capacitance 1500uF and the same voltage 6.3V?
My motherboard does work, but it tends to drive the computer to an accidental turn off after 5 to 10 minutes of operation. Do I understand correctly, that the capacitors with -20% of capacitance should work, but the overall motherboard operation will not be reliable?

A: Yes, it's possible given the necessary skills and tools. Yes, it's safe. The only rating that matters for safety is the rated voltage: if you put a higher voltage than the maximum you might see your cap explode.
The question is: will it work? Probably yes, that cap is filtering some 3.3V going around your mother board, there must be a ton of them. Will it work reliably? Nope. It was that big for a reason. And I'd dare to guess that your replacement part is of lower quality than the original, higher ESR, lower precision... Moreover, yout mobo won't work again because you substitute a dead cap: it died for a reason, now that's something anybody is unlikely to find out.

A: Probably, but it's impossible to know for sure without a circuit diagram (which will be hard to obtain). The actual capacitance of electrolytics varies quite a lot with temperature so the circuit should work with your 20% value change. It may become unreliable at high temperature or under heavy load.


TORONTO: November 24, 2017 – Over 150 people from across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) came together last night to celebrate innovative and exceptional solutions to congestion. Metrolinx recognized five employers, one honourable mention and one individual for outstanding achievement in shifting behaviour away from driving alone and towards smart travel options such as walking, cycling, transit, carpooling and teleworking.
Metrolinx operates two programs to reduce congestion in the region. The Smart Commute Program has over 250+ participating workplaces with an aim to ease gridlock while saving time and money. The Active and Sustainable School Travel program promotes active transportation amongst students in the region. For this program all six regions comprising the GTHA were recognized for their efforts in this year's Bike to School Week campaign.
This program has been highly successful in changing travel behaviour to and from work. In fact, Smart Commute Program members drive alone 14% less than the average GTHA commuter. And, the program is truly region wide with over 700,000+ members – that's one out of five GTHA commuters.
From among the nominations submitted, an independent Awards Review Panel selected the top workplaces for the Employer of the Year Awards, and from those finalists, a winner for the entire Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area was chosen.
Honourable mentions this year included York Region District School Board.
The 2017 Champion Award was given to Prabh Banga of Greater Toronto Airports Authority for her outstanding work to make better travel options available for her colleagues.
The six regional municipalities were recognised for their work to promote and support school and student participation in Bike to School Week, May 29 – June 2, 2017. 421 schools registered and 25,000 students participated leading to a 5.2% daily cycling mode share. That's 1 in 20 students cycling to school.
This campaign is a collaborative effort between school boards and regions. A diverse group of community members – teachers, parents, principals, school board members – received their award of recognition.
The Smart Commute Awards were introduced in 2007 to officially recognize employer members and partners who have put forth exceptional effort in implementing their Smart Commute programs. These awards acknowledge outstanding commitment, leadership, innovation and results.
Smart Commute is a program of Metrolinx and the municipalities in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Smart Commute helps anyone who is going from A to B explore and try out smart travel options such as walking, cycling, transit and carpooling. Our goal is to ease gridlock while helping you save time and money. To date, more than 300 employers with 700,000 employees have signed on to the program and are designated Smart Commute workplaces.

Can Eagles contend for a championship with Sam Bradford at quarterback?
Get to know the Eagles new QB from the perspective of a St. Louis Rams writer.
By Brandon Lee Gowton@BrandonGowton Mar 18, 2015, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Can Eagles contend for a championship with Sam Bradford at quarterback?
The Eagles made a surprising move last week when they traded away Nick Foles and draft picks to acquire former No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford. The trade wasn't very popular with Eagles fans at the time but it seems some have warmed up to the move since then.
Report: Eagles trying to rework/extend Bradford

Marcus Mariota's Best Pro Comp Is... Sam Bradford?

Report: Eagles trying to rework/extend Bradford Marcus Mariota's Best Pro Comp Is... Sam Bradford?
Here's a look at Bradford from the perspective of a Rams writer: Joe McAtee (@3k_) from Turf Show Times. I asked the questions and he provided the answers.
1) What was the consensus reaction to the Sam Bradford - Nick Foles trade from the perspective of a Rams fan? Are St. Louis fans happy with the deal?
Overall, yes. There's a bit of despondence that a player with so much promise and potential never really got over the hump, whether it was coaching, surrounding talent, injuries or an inability to rise above it all (or, as I would probably argue, a combination of all four). Bradford's skill set is so impressive. When he puts it together on the field, he's got the makeup of what should be a very successful NFL quarterback. But that he has missed more than a third of his potential starts in the NFL (including the last year and a half putting it at 49 out of 80) and even when playing led the Rams to just an 18-30-1 record as a starter, it was time to move on. That the Rams got an option to move on to immediately in Nick Foles (and that future 2nd rounder) softens the blow.
2) What are Bradford's biggest strengths and weaknesses? (Besides durability?)
Biggest strength is accuracy by far. He's able to go pretty deep into the intermediate range on the tree without losing much, if any, accuracy. Really impressive from 15-30. His arm strength isn't top tier, so he can't go extremely deep and doesn't have a ton of drive on his passes so he needs a slightly bigger window than your cannon-armed guys. His biggest negative with the Rams, though, was risk aversion. The Rams ran a HIGHLY contracted offense under Pat Shurmur and Brian Schottenheimer that saw Bradford's passing range heavily weighted on passes near the offensive line, including a reliance (and I'd argue overreliance) on dump-offs that avoided testing opposing secondaries, though 3 yard gains on 3rd & 6 don't really make up a winning formula. Part of it was personnel as well. Danny Amendola was the Rams' best receiver for years, and he was clearly more useful underneath. But as the Rams began to stock up their WR corps to move beyond the pre-Bradford options and develop a new group, the dumpoffs and short gains in favor of avoiding mistakes downfield or incurring pressure/sacks at the cost of bigger passing plays held the offense back big time. In 2012, his last full season for the Rams, Bradford was 26th in yards per attempt. Nick Foles was 29th that season. In 2013, Foles' 9.12 Y/A rate was best in the league. Bradford's 6.44 was fourth-worst.
Report: Browns offered pick No. 19 for Bradford
More light has been shed on this rumor.
Teams prefer Bradford over Mariota and Winston
Report: Browns offered pick No. 19 for Bradford Teams prefer Bradford over Mariota and Winston
3) How much of Bradford's struggles in St. Louis are due to a lackluster supporting cast in terms of both players and coaches?
This one's so hard to unpack, but the bottom line is that it was a significant factor. The offensive line, the wide receivers..........Brian Schottenheimer...... There's no way to argue that Bradford certainly had factors working against him. But there's also no argument that he just wasn't productive enough. Nobody was seriously arguing he should have been a top 8 QB. But he was in the bottom half (and that's being nice) overall throughout his healthy time. That just isn't sufficient for his skill set. So, as is the case with football, there's no one thing to point at. It's too complex to simplify. But Bradford's own under-performance certainly factors into that complexity.
4) How do you see Bradford's career playing out from here?
All depends on health. The Rams didn't expect him to re-injure his ACL just two games into his 2014 preseason. They didn't expect him to injure it the first time against Carolina midway through 2013. If you go back to the 2010 NFL Draft, the real issue was his injured shoulder that forced him to miss most of his last season at Oklahoma. That that injury is so far behind in the rear-view mirror tells you how significant his NFL injury rap sheet is. That's the real concern for the Eagles. If he's healthy, there's no reason he can't flourish in Philly. If he's not, well, the Rams moved on. Eagles will too.
5) To what extent can a team legitimately contend for championship with a healthy Bradford at quarterback?
Hehe, again it goes back to #4. Can you rely on him to get you through a 16-game season and through the playoffs? Carson Palmer helped turn around an Arizona team that went 5-11 in 2012 and won double digit games in each of the last two seasons. But by the time Arizona got to the postseason last year, Palmer was on the sideline and Ryan Lindley was quarterbacking for Arizona against Carolina. There was just no chance. The question really comes down to reliance on his health and what that costs you. As you guys are well aware, Bradford is an EXPENSIVE 2015 holding. To commit $13m to him limits what you can do elsewhere on the roster, let alone at QB. Does that limitation keep you from contending for a championship? Does the reliance you have to place on him being able to play hold you back? It has for the Rams for the last two seasons. If he's able to get on the field for you guys, a postseason run is certainly possible. That's a big if.

Going out for a beverage during the week isn't usually the norm for the Jumbla crew, especially on a Tuesday night. But when you're involved in a global animation challenge screened worldwide, breaking with social convention doesn't feel so bad.
The event? The latest instalment of Loopdeloop, a bi-monthly challenge that gives animators the opportunity to showcase their skills on an international stage.
After watching around 100 short animations based on the theme 'pizza', the audience was given the chance to vote for their favourite Melbourne-based entry. Lo and behold, Jumbla's own creatives secured first and second place. Two for two!
With her winning Loopdeloop animation, Tracey decided to pull at the the audience's heartstrings with a 'poignant' scenario based on a painful personal experience.
"A few months ago, I made the foolish mistake of ordering five pizzas for myself, which I then spent the next week eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner," Tracey said.
"I would wake up and have pizza, bring a few slices for lunch at work, then come home and have more pizza.
This was Tracey's first ever Loopdeloop entry, which wouldn't have happened if not for encouragement from fellow Jumbla creative Alyssa, who came second in the audience vote with her 'Food Baby' animation.
"Alyssa and I were talking about ideas and I told her about my ruined relationship with pizza, which led me to getting the idea of a girl shedding some tears while chewing down a slice," Tracey said.
Tracey has been there, done that, and got the t-shirt with Jumbla, successfully securing an internship after graduating from Jumbla Academy. As Tracey explains, the journey was instrumental in her Loopdeloop triumph.
"Everything in my Loopdeloop animation, I learnt at Jumbla Academy. From creating the assets all the way to the final touches of the sound effects.
"Then as an intern at Jumbla, I was placed in an environment that encouraged personal animation projects and challenges like Loopdeloop.

Ayuda Launches Alto™ – A Web Portal for Advertisers to Manage Content Directly Onscreen
Ayuda Media Systems Introduces Alto™ today at the DPAA Video Everywhere Summit, demonstrating how advertisers can control content directly on DPb and Outdoor displays
By Daniel Fleischer, New York, NY
Ayuda Media Systems ("Ayuda"), developers of the world's most sophisticated software platform for managing all aspects of digital and traditional OOH networks' sales and operations workflow, is showcasing a standalone web-based portal designed for high-profile advertisers to control content directly on the screens they have purchased air time on. This streamlines the often cumbersome and error-prone process that is typically employed today, where image and video files are manually uploaded to FTP sites for review and scheduling by the network operator. Alto™ offers a rich, intuitive interface for content upload and scheduling to high-profile advertisers who are given the appropriate authorization.
Once their campaign has been confirmed, Alto™ provides select advertisers with four entry points that allow them to upload content to individual panels or a network of panels; to view their schedule details and schedule content to specific panels; to manage their campaigns globally and modify content across the network of panels that they have purchased; and manage basic scheduling elements such as loop saturation and dynamic content. Best of all, Alto™ works as a standalone product which can be used with any player in the field, including Ayuda's own Splash™ Player, the open-source OpenSplash Player, or any SMIL-based or XML playlist driven player.
Andreas Soupliotis, Ayuda' President and CEO, commented: "Many network operators are seeing an increased demand from their clients for direct access to upload and schedule their own content. Advertisers are tired of the delays caused by the extra layer required to get their content displayed, not to mention how confusing and error-prone the existing processes are. All the majors have been asking for a better way to allow their clients to upload and manage their own content and schedules. Enter Alto™, the ultimate way of empowering the advertiser. What better way to show some love to your high-profile client, than by giving them a tool that they will use every day, that makes their lives simpler, and allows them not only to get content up and running quickly, but make changes and fix any content mistakes on the fly as needed? Regardless of what hardware and software combination is used at the player/screen level, Alto™ makes life universally simpler for the advertiser, and therefore for the network operator as well." Alto™, the latest product to be added to the Ayuda Platform, is being unveiled at the DPAA Video Everywhere Summit today in New York, and is available to any digital OOH network regardless of what existing content scheduling and player software they currently use.

It isn't always enough to ensure children apply—and re-apply—sunscreen, which is why ASDSA member Amy L. Brodsky, MD, President of the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation, continues her effort to "Connect Clothing to Change." This initiative works to lower the incidence of melanoma and Dr. Brodsky has brought together R5, Mott 50 and the Chicago Cubs (winners of the 2017 World Series!) to co-host Sun Safety Day at Wrigley Field. Carolyn I. Jacob, MD (also an ASDSA member), and Advocate Children's Hospital will be participating as well. Game day is Saturday, July 22, and tickets are sure to go fast as the Cubs play their rival, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Sun Safety Day is meant to include the entire family. Mott 50 produces sun protective clothing and a free SPF 100 swim shirt will be given to the first 5,000 children to attend. These shirts have been designed for the occasion, featuring the Chicago Cubs World Champions logo. Talking about her participation in this event, Dr. Brodsky believes that the adopters of sun protective clothing will certainly increase, while decreasing the risk of skin cancer—just by reaching out to fans of the Cubs.
ASDSA is excited that the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation is a SUNucate coalition partner, and promotes sun-safe clothing along with the use of sunscreen in schools. Working together, ASDSA and the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation hope to bring SUNucate legislation to Illinois during the next legislative session.

CSUSB Students Discuss Their Art Work and Thesis Exhibitions at RAFFMA
Tags: Arts CSUSB RAFFMA
San Bernardino, Ca – Graduating MFA students from Cal State San Bernardino will discuss their body of work and culminating thesis exhibitions at RAFFMA's MFA Art Talk on Thursday, April 5, at 2 p.m.
Johnny Shield, Heath Rössler, Mariah Armstrong Conner and Daniel Schmidt will be the fifth class of MFA students to present their thesis exhibitions. The CSUSB Department of Art is in its seventh year of offering a three-year Master of Fine Arts in studio art.
The work of this year's graduates ranges from the more traditional mediums of sculpted glass and paintings to taxidermy and carefully collected plastic marine debris. Thematically, the work is equally wide-ranging, examining death and spirituality, the concept of white privilege, selfie culture, and the environment.
Johnny Shield, documentation of Nomadic Gallery project
In "Selfie-Portrait," which was on display at RAFFMA in March, Shield explored the self-portrait through various hand-sculpted glass busts based on his own selfies as well as a self-destructing sculpture examining the fleetingness of moments that selfies often attempt to preserve.
Shield uses performance along with other mediums to convey concepts relating to the body as an individually inscribed surface of events, and the new emergence of a new non-real digital self. He earned his bachelor's in three-dimensional media from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., and a graduate diploma in conservation of metal from West Dean College in the United Kingdom.
In her exhibition "Existential Flux," Rössler explores ideas of existentialism, death and spirituality through painting, photography and the use of organic materials. Influenced by childhood and life experiences, she pulls from psychology, philosophy and other cultural practices related to these concepts. In an effort to transcend the burdens of the mind and the conditions of the body, all of her work is a means toward a creative and meditative space, in attempts to grapple with the nature of things and the uncomfortable experiences that come with it. "Existential Flux" will be on display at RAFFMA April 5-18, with an opening reception immediately following the MFA Art Talk.
Rössler received two bachelor's degrees in psychology and studio art at Cal State San Bernardino in 2015. She has been involved with the Community-based Art/Prison Arts Collective program at CSUSB since 2014, of which provides access to art as rehabilitation for those incarcerated.
Mariah Armstrong Conner, "Tipping Point"
Armstrong Conner is inspired by biological forms and the disciplines of archeology, geology and anthropology to make pieces that can be seen as time capsules, pseudo-artifacts or imagined archaeological discoveries of the future. Her recent work, on display April 26-May 10, incorporates anthropogenic polymers or plastic detritus collected from coastlines around the world. This material has become so ubiquitous in the past century that marine scientist Sylvia A. Earle declared: "Future geologists will be able to precisely mark our era as the Plasticozoic, the place in the sands of time in which bits of plastic first appeared."
Armstrong Conner lives and works in Southern California where she creates artworks in a wide variety of media, including glass, metal, marine debris and found objects. She grew up in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest and on the beaches of Baja California, Mexico, and Southern California. Her experiences snorkeling, scuba diving, beachcombing and exploring the outdoors have created an appreciation for the natural world that inspire her concern for the ecological degradation of the Anthropocene and her examination of the detritus of contemporary society.
Schmidt's thesis show, on display May 17-30, is a dissection of identity in relation to (white) American masculinity and the binary divisiveness of our society. His works are about internal struggle and external observation, serving as a confrontation of white male privilege and those who continue to benefit from it.
Schmidt received a bachelor of fine arts degree from California State University, Fullerton in 2013 with an emphasis in crafts. His work has been privately collected and shown at the Desert Daze Music Festival in Joshua Tree, Los Angeles County Fair and San Dimas Festival of Arts.

Just when HBO had distracted us for long enough with Westworld to make us forget about Game of Thrones, it pulls the rug out from under us. On Sunday night, HBO aired a "Coming in 2017" promo ahead of Westworld's ninth episode — a promo featuring a few fleeting shots from Game of Thrones season 7.
The Stark family has been thinned out rather significantly since the show began in 2011, but the remaining Stark children still remain at the heart of the show, as evidenced by their appearance in the promo (save for Bran).
No major revelations here, but at least we know that three of the four remaining Stark children will make it to the first episode of the new season. Whether they make it any further remains to be seen, but with the White Walkers on the move, no one is going to be safe for the remaining two seasons of the show.
Game of Thrones season 7 is set to air in summer 2017.

Wildomar Wrongful Death Lawsuits
It is never easy to handle the loss of a loved one – friends and family of a deceased person may have a difficult time adjusting to their absence. However, the sense of tragedy and loss multiply several times over when that loved one's death was avoidable but for another person's negligence, wrongful conduct, or criminal actions. Though it will never make up for the loss of someone, survivors of a decedent may be able to recover damages if their loved one died under such circumstances. If you have lost a loved one, speak to an experienced Wildomar wrongful death attorney to see if you may be eligible for compensation for injuries you have suffered as a result of their death.
Wildomar Wrongful Death Risk Factors
As a small city of 37,000 residents, Wildomar is a relatively risky place to live. There have been at least 3 fatal car accidents so far in 2019. Additionally, Wildomar averages 56 violent crimes every year and over 100 serious injuries and fatalities from motor vehicle collisions each year. In combination with the large number of bicyclists and pedestrians heading to the many hiking and biking trails such as the Alameda Del Monte Trail in the area, there are a large number of high-risk situations that could easily lead to someone's death and a subsequent wrongful death claim.
What Situations Would Constitute a Wrongful Death?
Though some situations such as botched medical procedures may immediately come to mind when thinking of appropriate times to file a wrongful death suit, there are an infinite number of situations that can bring about a tragic, entirely avoidable loss of life. Common negligent, wrongful, and criminal situations that give rise to wrongful death claims are:
Violent crime;
Police actions;
Construction accidents;
Drunk driving fatalities;
Medical malpractice; and
Fatal falls while a guest on another's property.
Am I Able to File a Wrongful Death Claim?
It's understandable that anyone who has lost a loved one might feel deeply hurt and grieve the loss greatly. However, the legal system does not give everyone negatively affected by the decedent's passing the right to pursue damages through a wrongful death claim. California has designated two distinct classes of individuals related to the deceased who have standing to bring these claims in court. Things can become confusing if the deceased has almost no survivors or has a multitude of eligible survivors, so the best way to clarify who has standing to sue for wrongful death is to speak to an experienced Wildomar wrongful death lawyer.
The first class of eligible survivors California designates is essentially their nuclear family: children, surviving spouses, registered domestic partners, and any living children whose parent is a deceased child of the decedent.
If no members of the first class exist, a secondary class of survivor becomes eligible to bring suit. This class includes the parents, putative spouse, stepchildren, or children of a putative spouse of the decedent. Additionally, even if eligible through their connection to the decedent, the secondary class of survivors can only bring suit if they can prove financial dependence on the decedent.
Regardless of whether there is a current or pending criminal case facing the defendant for their actions, an eligible survivor may still bring their wrongful death claim at any point it is statutorily permissible to do so.
Are Wrongful Death Claims and Survival Actions the Same Thing?
Though similarly seeking damages surrounding the death of someone due to another's inappropriate conduct, these two claims are fundamentally different. Wrongful death claims are lawsuits filed by eligible surviving members of a decedent's family for injuries they personally suffered due to the negligent, wrongful, or criminal actions that led to the death of their loved one. Survival actions, conversely, are brought on behalf of the decedent's estate – not the survivors themselves – to seek damages for injuries the estate suffered between infliction of the decedent's injuries and their death.
How Much Can I Recover for My Wrongful Death Injuries?
It's common for to wonder how much your case may be worth – especially when dealing with injuries for which there can never be full compensation. If a decedent's survivor can establish that a party's criminal, negligent, or wrongful actions caused the death of a loved one, though, it is possible to recover compensatory damages for their harms. Compensatory damages are meant to redress injuries a victim suffered due to the defendant's bad behavior, and may be awarded for injuries including:
Financial support the victim expected the deceased to provide;
The value of services the decedent contributed to their household; and
Loss of love, affection, compassion, and support provided by the deceased.
Even though victims may receive an award of compensatory damages, they are not permitted to recover punitive damages in wrongful death cases.
How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim?
If you have lost a loved one in Wilmore and want to seek compensation for the injuries you have suffered as a result of their death, you should act quickly. Time is not on your side, because California has a 2-year statute of limitations for you to bring a wrongful death claim in civil court from the date of death. If you fail to file your wrongful death claim before the 2 years expire, your suit will be dismissed by the court and you forfeit your ability to recover compensation through the legal system permanently.

Hong Kong drama bags nominations at Golden Horse Awards – AP News
November 28, 2021asia
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan's annual Golden Horse Awards kicked off Saturday with a Hong Kong drama receiving the most nominations for the Asian equivalent of the Academy Awards.
The Golden Horse Awards, which began in 1962, is considered one of the most prestigious awards for Chinese-language films.
This year, the Hong Kong film "Drifting", which is based on a 2012 court case involving homeless people in the working neighborhood of Sham Shui Po, received 12 nominations including for Best Director, Best Leading Actor and Best Cinematography.
Two Taiwanese movies, titled "The Soul," "The Falls" and "Till We Meet Again" received 11 nominations each.
"The Falls" won Best Original Screenplay, while "Drifting" won Best Adapted Screenplay.
"Revolution of Our Times," a documentary about the Hong Kong political unrest in 2019 by Hong Kong director Kiwi Chow, won Best Documentary Feature.
The film was a controversial topic in Hong Kong and Chow was accused of flouting coronavirus rules after authorities raided a private screening of the documentary in Hong Kong. Under Hong Kong laws, private gatherings are not limited by coronavirus restrictions.
Chow has since sold the copyright of the documentary to a European distributor and disposed of all his footage, in light of risks from a sweeping national security law implemented in the city following the political unrest.
The Golden Horse Awards took place at the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei, with Singaporean actor Mark Lee and Chinese-American actress Bai Ling presenting awards.
This year, a total of 573 entries were submitted to the Golden Horse Awards, up from 465 last year.

Кім Хо Кон (,  26 березня 1951, Тхон'ен) — південнокорейський футболіст, що грав на позиції захисника. По завершенні ігрової кар'єри — тренер. Тренер року в Азії (2012).

Клубна кар'єра
Народився 26 березня 1951 року в місті Тхон'ен. Виступав за футбольну команду Комерційного банку та Університету Йонсе, після чого у 1975—1976 роках проходив військову службу, виступаючи за футбольну команду Сухопутних військ Республіки Корея.

1976 року перейшов до клубу «Сеул Траст Банк», за який відіграв 7 сезонів.  Завершив кар'єру футболіста виступами за команду у 1982 році.

Виступи за збірну
12 листопада 1971 року дебютував в офіційних матчах у складі національної збірної Південної Кореї в грі Кубка Короля проти Індонезії (1:1).

У складі збірної був учасником Кубка Азії 1972 року у Таїланді, де зіграв у всіх чотирьох матчах і разом з командою здобув «срібло». Згодом Кім виграв з командою Азійські ігри 1978 року, будучи капітаном команди.

Загалом протягом кар'єри у національній команді, яка тривала 9 років, провів у її формі 124 матчі, забивши 5 голів.

Кар'єра тренера
Розпочав тренерську кар'єру як асистент головного тренера, допомагаючи Кім Джон Наму у збірній Південної Кореї, а також Мун Юн Сіку у «Ульсан Хьонде».

Самостійну кар'єру тренера розпочав 1993 року, очоливши футбольну команду рідного Університету Йонсе, де працював до 1999 року, після чого у 2000–2002 роках тренував «Пусан Ай Конс».

2002 року після відходу Гуса Гіддінка недовго був виконуючим обов'язки головного тренера національної збірної Південної Кореї, після чого очолив олімпійську збірну, з якою кваліфікувався на Олімпійські ігри 2004 року у Греції, дійшовши там з командою до чвертьфіналу.

Останнім місцем тренерської роботи був клуб «Ульсан Хьонде», головним тренером команди якого Кім Хо Кон був з 2008 по 2013 рік. У 2012 році він виграв з командою Лігу чемпіонів АФК, за що був названий тренером року в Азії.

With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream. The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff.

Keisu Sound in Onsenji Temple, Toyooka 00:00
In the Zen Buddhism tradition in Japan, there is a bell hung like a Bonsho, placed on a stand a cushion, reassembling a giant bowl. People play it by hitting the bell with a wooden stick srapped in cushioning. In Japan, bells such as this have many names, such as rin, kin, dobachi, keisu, kinshu, sahari, or Uchinarashi. It is shaped like a singing bowl like the Buddhism tradition in Tibet, which is played by rotating the lip of the bell with a stick that creates a resonating and meditative sound.
I recorded this Keisu sound in Onsenji Temple, Toyooka. It is a four hour travel from Kyoto. My friend, Kumiko-san, was the one who took me there and introduced me to Yuso-san, a minister that attends the temple. Yuso-san is the one who hits the bell in this recording.
The sound of the bell felt very meditative in this temple's soundscape, which is very calm. I personally think that the bells in Japan are a masterpiece, similar to the gong that has spread across the Asian continent. Just listen to the sound. It has a very long sound, doesn't it? The sound can resonate for more than a minute. It feels appropriate for this bell to be part of the Buddhist ritual.
On the other hand, from outside the Temple, you can hear birds chirping around the Onsenji Temple. Oh yes, this Temple itself is located on the foot of a mountain covered by trees. People usually use the cable cart to reach the Temple, although you can reach the Temple by climbing a steep climb.

The Upbeats: From Noisia Land
For the last decade, working together as The Upbeats, Dylan Jones and Jeremy Glenn have made an international career for themselves as studio producers and live DJ purveyors of, what is considered some of the best drum & bass music around. They recently produced Shapeshifter's latest album and their own fourth studio recording, 'Primitive Technique', was released via the Netherlands-based Vision Recordings on the eve of NZ Music Month. Martyn Pepperell shared a cuppa and an un-toasted sandwich with the pair.
Sitting in a Brazilian-themed cafe in the colourful Wellington suburb of Newtown, Dylan Jones, the quieter side of the NZ drum & bass duo known as The Upbeats looks over at his compatriot, the substantially more outgoing Jeremy Glenn, and laughs.
"Toasted sandwiches are off. That's so last year. We've already been through those hard times where you had to have toasted sandwiches every day.""
Quick off the mark, Glenn replies. "We actually realised toasted sandwiches are really bad for you. We started to feel really shit every day, usually after having toasted sandwiches. Now we go and buy fresh sandwiches from a cafe, or consider ordering Dominos.""
Together as The Upbeats, Jones and Glenn (also known informally as Downie Wolf and Terror Snake respectively) have made an international career for themselves as studio producers and live DJ purveyors of globally respected drum & bass music. Co-signed for over a decade by international industry heavyweights like Bad Company, Ed Rush and Optical, Chase & Status and Noisia, amongst many others, between albums, singles, EPs, and remixes they've racked up over 50 releases worldwide on key labels like BC Presents, Virus, Bad Taste Recordings, Renegade Hardware, and their own record label Non Vogue.
This discography has been the result of regular eight hour weekday shifts spent writing, mixing and mastering their music, most of which occurs within their home studio, located in a spare room inside Glenn's home.
"We'll meet up at maybe 10 or 11am, have some cups of tea and talk through what we need to do that day,"" Jones explains.
"We try to start something new every day,"" Glenn adds. "There is a lot of talking, we like to do some video gaming as well. Video gaming and cups of tea have been the backbone of The Upbeats. Every two hours there will be a cup of tea, which over 15 years, is quite a few cups of Earl Grey! You hit a brick wall, or run out of ideas, and that is where the video games come in. It's like, 'OK, I'm going to go and take my frustration out on some noobs on the internet.'""
On April 29th a chunk of their studio work from the last year culminated in the worldwide release 'Primitive Technique', their fourth album. It came via Vision Recordings, a label owned and run by their good friends Noisia from the Netherlands, another act considered one of the most crucial in the world in drum and bass. And with a global release, comes another obligation they are no stranger to, global touring.
"For the last three years, we've been playing close to 100 shows a year,"" Glenn reflects, "which averages out to about two shows a week.""
Whether playing together or DJing solo, the duo visit Europe and the UK twice a year, usually head to America once a year, and play regularly around NZ, Australia, parts of the Pacific and Asia. Represented in America by the prestigious Circle Management and in Europe by the equally well-regarded Primary Talent, their southern hemisphere bookings are handled by NZ-based Top Shelf Agency, an impressive triangulation of credentials on the resume. Japan is another favoured destination for them both.
"We love Japan,"" Glenn enthuses. "We fight claw and tooth over who gets to go and play."
Over their decade-plus journey, they've made a few interesting trips outside their well worn circuit as well. Jones in particular, having performed in Siberia and the Caribbean, has some stories to tell.
"I played on the roof of this really rundown old building in Puerto Rico,"" he lucidly recalls, almost disbelieving of himself. "There was a shooting at the show, so we got shut down by the cops. I had to stay with this guy who lived in a gated community and he didn't trust me enough to leave me in his house during the day. So I had to go to architecture school with him and sit with him in class.""
Flying into Siberia, at around 4am (in a rickety plane that he says could have been from World War II, Jones says he was greeted by a 14-year old rave promoter who was pretending he was 18 so he could DJ and throw shows in local nightclubs.
"I played to about 500 people. After the show they made me sign their passports, their bodies, their money. It almost doesn't seem real when I think back to it.""
Through this heavy engagement with the global dance floor, The Upbeats have developed a sound, which, while NZ in origin, is valid worldwide. The pair have built strong connections and friendships throughout that breakbeat- and bassline-fueled electronic music scene, one of the most crucial being with Noisia.
"The first time we went to Europe, after one of our first big tunes had been released, they came and saw us play,"" Glenn remembers. "We kept talking online and started collaborating.""
The collaboration lead into business ventures and a longstanding genuine friendships – Nik Roos from Noisia has stayed with them in Wellington three times. Having previously released albums via Loop Recordings, Bad Taste Recordings and their own Non Vogue label, releasing 'Primitive Technique' via Noisa's Vision Recordings made sense – especially in light of Noisa's enthusiasm about their music and an impending development.
"In August I'm moving over to the Netherlands for six months,"" Glenn explains. "My partner is going to go to university over there, and it's going to give me the opportunity to explore how much further we can push our brand if we're on the ground. I've already landed two South Africa shows later in the year as a result. I think that a lot of how you build your name in Europe is based on the shows you do, rather than the music you release.""
Jones plans to pop over as well for a couple of months, so the two can play a series of shows together and work on new music.
Known for normally writing massive prog-rockesque drum & bass concept albums, with 'Primitive Technique', they decided to take things back to basics, crafting a cycle of maximalist dance floor anthems focused directly on the hips and heart as opposed to the head.
"In the last two years, we've really made a big push to improve our studio techniques,"" Glenn admits. "We've always been pretty lacklustre in that area, but we progressed and learned new things. The new artists out there gave us some real motivation to step our game up."
Inside the studio they still work on a bare bones set-up of Logic Audio Pro, studio monitors and a MIDI keyboard. Amazing with their production and overall sonic fidelity, 'Primitive Technique' shows the incredible things possible with little, given enough practice, focus and commitment.
Last year the pair were shoulder-tapped to produce Shapeshifter's new album 'Delta', their first such producer assignment. Enthusing about the learning process they went through while working on it, they're reluctant to discuss it in depth, considering it a story for Shapeshifter to tell themselves. I ask where they see themselves in a decade.
"Ten years is a long time," Jones replies. "To be still independently writing music in 10 years time, that would be awesome.""
"Being involved in the video game soundtrack industry would be good as well,"" Glenn adds.
And how do they feel about where they are right now?
"I don't know about you Dylan, but the fact we're still writing music, getting better at writing music, and we don't have to think about getting day jobs, is pretty good. I'm where I'd like to be,"" Glenn replies, Jones nodding his agreement with a cheeky smile, until we all crack up laughing.
From a backyard sleep-out studio in the suburbs, to a spare room studio, also in the suburbs, The Upbeats keep the spirit of No. 8 wire DIY NZ music alive. They might not be internationally releasing and touring lo-fi indie rock or experimental noise like Chris Knox and The Dead C did in the '80s and '90s, but within the world of drum & bass, they are, on an international level, no less important or influential to the ongoing development of their scene of choice.

Lately my head has been all over the place. I can't help but overthink this online place of mine and it's just meant that I've rarely posted, and yet here we are today. I love writing on this blog, LOVE it. It's the one constant I've had for 7 years and it's seen me through all sorts of events. Once in a while, it's just good to step back and take a breather though. What's that saying?
一. My funny pup. The other morning, I popped into the kitchen to brew another cup of coffee to fuel my email session and Milo had somehow managed to sneak ALL of his soft toys and his entire bed out into the garden! This dog just loves the great outdoors and he's bloody determined to enjoy the view from his bed with his chicken toy tucked under his arm. A laundry session later… he went on to do the same thing the following day.
二. Sweet, encouraging notes to me, left by my love.
三. My gallery wall! It's really starting to come along and I couldn't be happier.
四. Finding a pair of unopened earphones (the free ones that came with my Google Pixel) in my drawer. My old ones were completely dying on me and I could only hear out of the left ear, so it was perfect timing.
五. Drives to the lake, listening to Anna and Lily's podcast, At Home With.
七. Watching the entirety of Netflix's Friends from College in one sitting. Highly recommended.
八. Sitting on the bench by the lake and watching on as mother goose and mother duck tend to their little ones. The tiny goslings and ducklings were so tiny and cute a few weeks ago and they're all already making such progress!
九. Grape soda. Brought to me in bed with ice. Honestly, what did I do to deserve this guy?! Seven years' wait was so worth it. So so worth it.
十. Absentmindedly browsing our dream apartments in Hong Kong.
What're some of your petite joys lately?
