North Korea didn’t get its first high speed link until 2010 when the Chinese link was established. Before that there were so few North Korea users of the worldwide Internet that the only link to the outside was an expensive satellite link that actually saw very little traffic. The only other time North Korea had two in...
There are only a few thousand North Korea Internet users who have permission to access the international Internet and that use is monitored by the secret police. Even with the monitoring and few users any increased international access makes North Korea more vulnerable. This was demonstrated in late 2016 when the “hack...
Many Internet security experts saw this North Korean misfortune as inevitable after the 2014 decision to increase Internet access and computer use for North Korean students and trusted members of the population. Most of these users only have access to the North Korean Internet. But to obtain new people for the elite ha...
This safe local Internet is called “Bright” and consists of a few thousand web pages on nearly fifty different websites, all hosted within North Korea and mostly containing educational or propaganda material plus government announcements of importance. The news sites on Bright give the government version of the news. D...
Anyone who misuses either Bright or the international Internet access is severely punished. Thus while Internet access is sought, it is also feared. Yet even is such a closely monitored police state as North Korea access to the international Internet is becoming more important. Now that there are sanctions limiting the...
Since the 1990s North Korea has been seeking out more people with a talent for using the Internet, primarily for espionage and cyber (Internet based) combat and crime (to raise money for the nukes and missile work). Since the early 1990s North Korea has been training a small number of people (a few hundred a year) as n...
Kim Jong Uns father, who ran the country from 1994 to 2011 was also a tech fan and understood the usefulness of the Internet. But he also feared the Internet, as does his son. In 2010 the secret police were ordered to crack down on North Korean PC users (a few percent of the population, most belonging to the ruling Com...
What North Korea is more worried about than getting hacked is North Korean Internet users sending and receiving files, especially media files from China or North Korea. That’s not a problem because North Koreans eager to obtain foreign video and music have a less risky source. It works like this. Until recently there w...
While overseas the North Koreans can buy Micro SD cards for much less than a dollar per gigabyte and fill it up with thousands of hours of high quality video. Some of that video, software and music will be the latest stuff which can be sold to distributors in North Korea who sell this illegal content on the black marke...
Then there’s also illegal use of Chinese cell phones which, when used near the Chinese border can connect to the Chinese Internet and the world. North Korea has been pretty successful in keeping the Internet and PCs out of the country but to keep the economy going in the 21st century both these technologies are needed,...
North Korean hackers have also figured out how to move hidden malware via these Micro SD cards which are left where some foreigner can find it and then, as foolish foreigners are wont to do, install the card in their smart phone to see what is there.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has raised concerns over its “very large” trade deficit with Japan in the first round of negotiations between the two nations on a new bilateral trade deal.
No agreement was reached on individual issues after two days of discussions, Japan’s economy minister said, but the two sides discussed trade issues focusing on goods, including farm products, both nations said.
“The two officials reaffirmed their shared goal of achieving substantive results on trade,” said the USTR statement issued after the talks on Tuesday.
The two-day meeting came after U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed last September to start trade talks in an arrangement that protects Japanese automakers from further tariffs while negotiations are under way.
Trump has made clear he is unhappy with Japan’s trade surplus with the United States - much of it from auto exports - and wants a two-way agreement to address it. During the talks this week, Washington highlighted the “very large trade deficit with Japan – $67.6 billion in goods in 2018,” according to the USTR statemen...
Abe, meanwhile, has stressed that the new framework would be a Trade Agreement on Goods, or TAG, not a more wide-ranging free trade agreement that included investments and services that Japan has resisted.
Motegi said the two nations have not agreed on auto issues and declined to comment on details. Japanese officials have said Tokyo would not accept auto export restrictions if the U.S. makes such demands.
The United States also indicated interest in agricultural products, Motegi said, but he told Lighthizer that Japan could make no concessions beyond what Tokyo has agreed on other economic partnerships.
Motegi also said that currency exchange rates should be handled by respective finance ministers.
Motegi and Lighthizer plan to meet again in Washington next week ahead of the summit between Abe and Trump. Motegi may also accompany Abe, who is expected to discuss North Korea and trade with Trump.
Motegi said on Monday he confirmed with Lighthizer that new trade talks would proceed based on the nations’ joint statement issued last September. It said talks “will respect positions of the other government,” drawing lines on autos and Japan’s agriculture sector.

In recent years, rock music has become an afterthought in the popular spectrum. And regardless of the official tally, there's no denying that genres like rap and country music have exploded in popularity, while rock music has leaned on established groups to carry the torch.
But before penning your next "rock is dead" hot take, consider this list. Even if rock stars aren't topping the charts or clogging your timeline with arena tours, that doesn't mean there's not a thriving scene built on raw energy and mainstream resistance. Rock music is a thriving force in cities like Philadelphia and ...
Campaigners calling for funding to help families bereaved in Northern Ireland’s troubled past to get the truth have taken to the streets of Belfast.
The latest move by the Time For Truth campaign comes days after the PSNI was criticised after it emerged it failed to disclose all the information it held over an infamous loyalist shooting in Belfast to a watchdog.
The Police Ombudsman found that the PSNI withheld “significant” information over the shooting at a bookmaker’s on the Ormeau Road.
Five people were killed on February 5 1992, when members of the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) opened fire on the Sean Graham shop in the lower Ormeau area.
PSNI Deputy Chief Constable Stephen Martin apologised on behalf of the police, and said they never sought to withhold the information from the ombudsman investigators, putting the incident down to human error.
However, some families whose loved ones’ murders are also affected by the material questioned his statement.
Marian Walsh, the mother of teenage murder victim Damien Walsh, said she does not accept Mr Martin’s apology, and accused police of a “sham” and “excuses”.
In February, around 2,000 people took part in a Time For Truth march in Belfast city centre, calling for legacy mechanisms to be put in place.
On Saturday, activists canvassed in a number of locations across Belfast, calling for three demands to be met.
These include the implementation of legacy mechanisms negotiated in the Stormont House Agreement, adequate funding of legacy inquests, and of the Police Ombudsman's office to allow it to complete outstanding historical investigations.
The locations included the Ormeau Road close to the Sean Graham shop on Saturday morning.
Tommy Duffin, whose 66-year-old father Jack was the oldest of those killed in the UFF shooting, was among the activists.
The ombudsman’s report into that atrocity had been due to be given to the family, but will now be reviewed in light of the fresh information from police.
“The Stormont House Agreement has to be put in place, and the legacy inquests and ombudsman need to be properly resourced,” Mr Duffin said.
Activists also petitioned for support at the Short Strand in east Belfast, the Kennedy Centre and Dairy Farm in west Belfast, and the New Lodge in north Belfast, among other locations.
Time For Truth spokesman Ciaran MacAirt urged people to sign the petition in solidarity with victims and survivors.
“We call on citizens to sign the petition and show their support for victims and survivors across the community who are still denied their basic human rights,” he said.
“Just look at the news this week. Families from the Ormeau Road have been failed yet again by police investigating atrocities in the past.
“Hundreds of other families are experiencing the same and are being re-traumatised on a daily basis.

I am writer of good conscience, so I must disclose my own truth before we discuss Gwen Stefani‘s new album, This Is What The Truth Feels Like (out today, March 18 ): I am obsessed with her snapchat. Gwen checking into a very basic hotel room when she fell ill at Disneyland. Gwen warning that eating spicy Japanese food ...
She remains America’s ageless California sweetheart. It’s been a surprising 10 years since Gwen released her second solo album, The Sweet Escape. Since then, she’s released a largely (but not completely) unloved No Doubt album and three big-eyed hipster children (Kingston, Zuma, Apollo). Despite her layers of corporate...
This Is What The Truth Feels Like — let’s just call it Truth — sounds nothing, thank Goddess, like the cookie cutter producer-driven albums marketed by today’s Disneyfied starlets. Built with a core team that includes songwriters Justin Trantor and Julia Michaels (who says that Gwen showed up to the studio with the nai...
The album’s two finest ballads bookend that story. Gwen literally yelps “I used to love you!” on the track of that name. Her tormented love life is all right there in the “pack your bags” lyric. Despite peaking at only #52 on the Hot 100, the song got everyone’s attention and signaled the singer’s renewed inspiration. ...
“Send Me A Picture” is a mid-tempo creamy-smooth seduction: “Send a little something I could stare at… wanna see you right now with no filter.” Gwen-in-love is clearly never without her phone, but some stuff stays off the socials. And you can’t help but pull for a woman who’s famously only had one boyfriend and one hus...
For the most part, the Pharrell-less Truth steps back from the hip-hop influence of her earlier solo records. After an intro that sounds like a melting violin, “Red Flags” goes there. Gwen’s OTT rapped vocal is thick with attitude: “This is what happens when you don’t have any common sense” she spits, before later drop...
She flies highest when she doesn’t try to recapture the early aughts. Truth‘s final track, “Rare,” is elegant and even-keeled. Again, she bucks modern radio to deliver what’s essentially a folk song scored with an acoustic guitar and galloping beat. “Do you really think you wanna make some new memories with me?” a mult...
The Cooper baseball team scored the game's final four runs, including three in the sixth, to down Wichita Falls High 9-5 at home Friday.
The Cooper baseball team scored the game's final four runs, including three in the sixth, to down Wichita Falls High 9-5 at home Friday. It was the team's fourth consecutive District 4-5A win.
After Coyotes pitcher Zane Leonard tied the game with an RBI double in the fifth, the Cougars answered in the home half. Braiden Hill started the inning with a single to left field and took two bases on a wild pitch and a passed ball. He scored the go-ahead run on a dropped third strike, and Cooper (11-13 overall, 5-2 ...
Spencer Davis, who went 2 for 4 with two RBIs, drove in an insurance run to make it 7-5, and Hill's two-run double all but clinched the game.
Matthew Shira earned the win for Cooper, pitching five innings in relief of Hill. Shira scattered three hits, allowing one earned run with seven strikeouts and one walk. Hill was pulled after allowing four earned runs on two hits with four strikeouts and three walks. He was 2 for 3 at the dish.
Jacob Hummel led the Coogs with three RBIs, two of which came on a triple in a three-run opening frame. Caleb Martin also drove in a run during his 2 for 3 night that included a triple of his own.
Leonard was charged with the loss after throwing 5⅔ innings. He gave up nine runs, seven earned, on 11 hits, striking out five with no walks.
Cooper faces crosstown rival Wylie twice next week, the first Tuesday at home.
Five teachers from China take over the education of 50 teenagers in a Hampshire school. Day one of the experiment proves a shock for everyone.
In a unique experiment, five teachers from China take over the education of 50 teenagers in a Hampshire school to see whether the high-ranking Chinese education system can teach us a lesson. Will the harsh regime of long days and strict discipline produce superior students? Or will the clash of two cultures create chao...

Survivors of last week’s deadly shooting have taken the lead on political activism in its wake. It’s surprised a lot of adults, but they have plenty of company, now and in the past.
After the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the usual groundswell of political momentum began, along with the despair that it would wash out just as quickly. But it seems to be gaining traction at the scene of the tragedy: Parkland high school students have taken the lead, orga...
Other skepticism about the ability of these kids to bear the burden of a political movement might itself be politically motivated, like that from former Fox News personality Bill O’Reilly and former congressman Jack Kingston.
Still: they’re not old enough to vote! Do they stand a chance?
Recent history in Chicago suggests they might. Many of the city’s activists and organizers are remarkably young, even high-school age. Back in 2016, in the wake of two police shootings, four Chicago high schoolers—Sophia Byrd, Eva Lewis, Natalie Braye, and Maxine Wint—organized a 1,000-person silent sit-in in Millenniu...
Well, technically one adult; they got some advice from an 18-year-old organizer with the Black Youth Project 100, an organization for people 18 to 35. When Derrick Clifton profiled members of BYP100 and other organizations in a look at young black women leading local social-justice movements, the women he talked to wer...
More recently BYP100 has teamed up with Latino groups on the intersection of policing and immigration. One of those groups is Organized Communities Against Deportation, which is led by undocumented youth—which makes sense, given the importance of youth activists to the passage of the DREAM Act, activism which was cente...
And there’s historical precedent: in 1963, 250,000 Chicago students walked out of school to protest segregation during the Willis Wagon era.
There’s some limited evidence that the Parkland teens’ campaign is already having an effect. At Vox, Alvin Chang found that the incident has captured the media’s attention, at least in terms of cable news, for longer than the incidents in San Bernardino, Tucson, and Sandy Hook. If high-school students can continue this...

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Mike Gillis couldn’t confirm the time frame that Dan Hamhuis will need to recover from sports hernia surgery Friday, but the Vancouver Canucks general manager could confirm that the defenceman only had one procedure after being injured when he hip-checked Milan Lucic in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final...
That because while Mason Raymond won’t play until at least November with a compression vertebrae compression and Mikael Samuelsson should be ready after adductor tendon and sports hernia surgery last month, no two surgeries are alike. But at least Hamhuis didn’t need a second procedure.
