Korean Gamer Dies After 50 Hours Online

I like playing video games. However, I have never played it non-stop for a long time. I can not consider why he became engrossed in the online game.

He took only occasional toilet break and five-minute nap. He kept sitting on the sheet for 50 hours. The video games are interesting, but it is not good to keep playing for a long time.

This is a big issue because children like playing video games. They will keep playing it. They do not study and help their mother.

Their parents should think about these problems very well when they give a computer game to their children.

Japanese Women to Have More Equality

I think Japanese government has to endorse increasing women employment. Japan is a low birthrate coundry. A reason of it, companies do not have a comfortable environment to work there. Japanese women do not want to born their babies. Japan has a stereotype, for example, "men work at company, women work at home."

Some Japanese women do not want to work at company, but other Japanese women want to work. Japanese government has to give them the right to select the job.

Pig Organ Transplants within 5 Years

I disagree with transplantation of pig's organ. Because if I was transplanted organs from animals, I can not be a human beings. I want to be a human. I think I will choose die rather than transplanting from pigs.

Therefore, there is the difference between human being's DNA and pig's DNA. So there is a possibility of occurring hard rejection. Transplantation between people is OK, but from animals is not good.

Probably, if someone were transplanted organs from animals, his/her DNA will be changed. Then if he/she has children, they will have the strange DNA. Their children may not be able to take transblood.

Senegal Health Workers Struggle with Prenatal Care for Rural Women

In rural villages like Kolda, Senegal, many mothers and infants are in danger. Because mothers do not take health care before they giving birth. Most of pregnant women come with anemias or hypertensions. Anemia and high blood pressure make childbirth more risky and contribute to premature and low-birth-weight babies.

Is this a unavoidable problem? I do not think so. If mothers go to health care regularly, possibility of becoming sick will decrease. But they do not have much money especially in rural villages. I am brought up in a favorable environment.

I want Senegalese to take more health care paticularly in the time of pregnancy.

Conference Seeks to Make Early Childhood Development Priority in Africa

Speaking of Africa, we always think about resources such as oil, gold or diamonds. However, the most important resource is people. Africa's education is not improve, because most of people are very poor. So, parents have to make their children work. For that reason, a lot of children can not read, write or arithmetic.

Also, most children suffer from malnutrition. They have a short attention span. Therefore, more than half of all children who complete primary school have not mastered the basis of reading, writing and arithmetic.

If we want to develop Africa's economy, we have to give children the occasion to take education.

Scientists Measure Accelerating Ice Loss on Kilimanjaro

Scientists expect that the ice on Mount Kilimanjaro will be disappeared before 2018. The ice is melting 50% between February 2000 and February 2009. I was shocked that global warming is affecting the environment.

Before I look at those before-after pictures, I did not think about global warming well. However, I have to do something to save the global environment. I can do something even I am in Okinawa.

Tanzanian government worries about decreasing of the tourists. Tourism could be impacted by the Mt. Kilimanjaro.

We have to preserve left of the field of ice in order not to melt more.

Berlin Prepares for Celebrations 20 Years After Fall of Wall

The wall which divided east and west Germany was broken 20 years ago. I do not remember that because I was 1 year old. But I know that it was very big revolution in the world.

It is the 20th anniversary after the fall of the wall in November 9. German government plans to celebrate this anniversary. They will have a concert, special exhibits, and grand fireworks.

I have never been to foreign country, but I want to join this event. It seems so funny!

$100 Laptop for World's Poor Children

I was surprised to read this article. In this article, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plans to produce a laptop computer for under $100 and they will sell it to poor children in Cambodia.
I think, the cambodian children do not want to have a computer, rather they want something to eat. Of course, they can study by using a computer, but they have to work for their family.

In my oppinion, it is not necessary to use a computer there. They would rather learn how to work and earn much money than use a computer.
