According to the IBT(International Business Times), Hayao Miyazaki coming out of the retirement about 3 years after the announcement is working on a new film and for this, he learned about Artificial Intelligence more,but he finally refused it.Hayao Miyazaki finished his resting time and started new animation film, "Boro the Caterpillar", and to describe the caterpillar as natural and real he decided to turn his working style form hand drawing into CGI(Computer Generated Imagery).In addition, in order to acquire it more efficiently, he met Nobuo Kawakami, the chairperson of the Dwango Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and encountered the system realizing the character's imaginary movements and the sample of the programmed zombies. However, the sample offended Miyazaki recalling the neighboring physically challenged people and he decided to come back to his original working style: hand drawn illustration.To sum up, even though Hayao Miyazaki at first decided to use CGI or AI program to animate his new character, after he visited AI laboratory and encountered them deeply, he has given up and returned. The news that Hayao Miyazaki is coming back is so impressing to me since he is one of my favorite movie diresctors because of three reasons:beautiful illustrations,implied meaning of scenes,and background music.Miyazaki tends to create each scene of films by drawing them himself and for that reason, his movies convey warm and lyrical emotion. Moreover he always suggests certain social problem and desired world view through his film, as in "Spirited away" he dealt with the problem of prostitution, materialism, and environmental pollution through features and behaviors of characters. Finally, the back ground music of his films amplify atmosphere and mix with scenes so well that the music tends to represent the movie itself.By hearing the news saying that Hayao Miyazaki breaks out of the retirement, I have been looking forward to watch his movie entailing elaborate scenes of the film,touching messages toward us, and supportive music.

Junghoon
– Today we are going to learn about bowling. Before we paly bowling, let’s
introduce ourselves one by one, and tell the people about our first impression.
Juyeon
– Hi everyone. My name is Juyeon,
majoring in Chemical Engineering. I haven’t learned bowling before, so I am so
pleased to have chance learning it and playing it with new friends. Taking this
opportunity, I want to make a new hobby of playing bowling.
Junghoon
– Hi my name is Junghoon Lee, majoring
in SME. I usually play bowling with my friends, but all the time my ability was
poor. So I’m not really confident at this game. I hope to learn many things
about bowling, for today’s video project.
Junhee – Hello
everyone, my name is Junhee and I’m majoring in Electrical Engineering. I’ve
played bowling several times, but all the time playing bowling, I was quite
drunk, so this is my first time playing bowling without alcohol. So I am quite
excited. Thank you.
Minho – Hello
everyone, my name is Minho Jung, and I’m majoring in Chemistry. Actually I am
not good at bowling, so I hope to learn bowling through this project. And I
hope you enjoy this video, and after watching this video, you will be a bowling
holic. Thank you.
Junhee – We’re gonna
go to a bowling center, which is really close to our University, and the name
is Kakao.
Everyone –So,
let’s go!!!
Main
Junhee
Bowling is a sport which a player rolls
or throws a bowling ball towards targets, called pins. Bowling is originated
from ancient Egypt or Roman Empire, so it has quite long history. There are two
main types of bowling, one is pin bowling, which is usually played indoors, the
other is target bowling, which is usually played outdoors. Today we are gonna
learn pin bowling.
The name of this bowling center is kakao,
and you should pay 3000 won per game, but since we are SKKU students, there is
500 won discount and you should rent a special pair of shoes and it is 1500 won,
and after 9pm, they turn on all the lights and turns a whole center like a
dancing club and we can order some beer.
In order to play bowling, you have to
wear special kind of shoes. Bowling shoes makes your foot slide smoothly when
throwing the ball. You never can play bowling without bowling shoes, because if
you wear street shoes, it will gonna cause a lot of strain on you shoulder and your
knee, and this will increase a risk of injury. We can buy or rent shoes, but since
we don’t have enough money, so we are gonna rent the shoes.
Again, we can rent or buy the balls, but
since we don’t have enough money, we gonna rent balls Advantage of buying ball
is personalization, and making it easy to spin. But we are gonna rent some
balls, and we should choose among these balls. Choosing balls with proper
weight is really important for your performance and your risk of injury.
Juyeon
To play bowling well, it is important to
learn appropriate steps and swings.
First of all, there are several steps in
bowling. Most of all, people mostly use 4steps and 5steps. In bowling, steps
play a key role as a run-up, in the sense, 5steps put force on one more step
more than 4steps. Because the procedure is sophisticated and takes a lot of
concentration, we’ll gonna start with 4steps.
4steps literally mean 4 feet steps, and
each step has different style stride, and form of feet. First of all, the
stance, preparation posture. Make feet gathered like number eleven and bend
your knees slightly. It is good to bend down your upper body, as well.
The first step starts with your right
foot. Before we go further, there is something we should consider. The order of
the foot step is different between left-handed and right-handed people, and
right-handed people start with their right foot as the first step. We’ll start
with the right step, so if you are left-handed you can take it first with the
left side. Toward with comfortable stride, not so big or not so small. The
important thing you should be aware is that all steps including the first one,
you have to put weight forward.
The second one is similar to the first
one. Stretch the left foot moderately same as right. When combining with swing,
the second step will be the most strained stage because of the weight of the
ball. For this reason it is important to maintain your balance of the body.
The third step is taken when the ball
reaches the highest point, and also it is a prior stage to the final step which
can make run-up. Stretch your right foot with a similar stride as the second
one.
And the last step, the forth step is
much more similar to sliding rather than taking a step. With a 1.5times of
ordinary stride, slide the left leg putting the weight. At the same time the
right foot is sliding toward inside of the left leg. At this moment, landing
should be taken at the same time, so it is important to make your balance.
Junghoon
Then I will show you how to grip a
bowling ball. First, put in your thumb in this hole and put middle finger in
the left side and ring finger in the right side. It’s like this. This is how to
grip a bowling ball.
Then, Let’s apply Swing motion to these
4 steps. There is each swing motion for each step. Before the first step
begins, there is preparation action which is called ‘Address’. ‘Address is
carried out in ‘stance location’. Grip a ball with right hand and hold your
elbow at your right side of waist. Make the angle of your arm 90 degree. Then,
make your right palm face the sky and support your right hand with your left
hand.
Now It is First step. First swing motion
of First step is ‘Push away’. ‘Push away’ is pushing out a ball while stepping
on right foot. At the summit of orbit, leave your left hand from your right
hand.
Second swing is ‘Down Swing’. As soon as
you leave your left hand from your right hand, down swing begins. Take a next
step along with down swing of your right hand, and naturally stretch your left
hand to the left side
Next third swing is ‘Back Swing’. Relax
your right shoulder and swing back to the height of your shoulder using
movement of pendulum. Take a next step along the back swing.
Fourth swing is ‘Forward Swing’.
Accelerate your ball forward until rolling a ball. At this moment, slide with
your left foot with bending your left knee and stretch your right foot behind
your left foot.
Next motion is ‘release’ without any
further step. At the bottom of swing, take your thumb out of bowling ball and
roll a ball. When you do ‘release’, lower your posture and bend your knees.
Minho
I will let you know some rules of
bowling
The rules of bowling are so easy.
You just roll the ball without crossing
the foul line with the black color of the lane, and knock down the pins.
One person will hit ten frames per game,
and in a frame, one person can roll a ball twice unless he or she hits a
strike.
However, exceptionally in the tenth
frame, you can rolls two more times if you hit a Strike, and one more time if
you hit a Spare.
Then, what does strike and spare mean
here?
Strike means that you knock down ten
pins in the first trial of each fame, and Spare means that you do not knock
down all pins in the first trial and knock down all the other pins in the
second trial.
These are the basic rules of bowling,
and next, I’ll show you how to calculate the score.
In fact, the score is calculated by the
computer, but it will be better to know how to calculate it by yourself, so I
will explain it briefly.
Basically, one point per one pin.
However, the Spare and Strike are slightly different in scoring. In the case of
Spare, the number of pins fall down in the first trial of the next frame is
added to the point, and in the case of Strike, the sum of the number of pins that
fall down in the first trial and second trial is added to the point.
If so, how many points do you get if you
hit a spare in the first frame and eight pins in the first attempt on the
second frame?
Yes, it is 18 points.
You can calculate the score easily in
this way.
Then now before we go to the actual
game, let me tell you about some manners of bowling.
There is a section in the bowling alley
where you step on it until you roll the ball. This is called the approach.
Be sure to wear bowling shoes when you
go up to the approach, and if the person next to you is on the approach to roll
the ball, you have to roll the ball after he rolls the ball.
Also, if you go up to the approach and
stay for too long, people in next lane cannot play. So you have to roll the
ball quickly and go down from the approach.
These are the basic etiquette you should
know to play bowling, and now I will show you the real game.
End
Minho
Today we’ve learned how to play bowling
and we have lots of fun.
Juyeon
You guys can also come here and enjoy
play bowling.
Everyone
Bye Bye~!!

According to the Independent article, in Austria there are many debates and protests against the government regarding the President's call about the wear of headscarves on all Muslim woman, and the partial prohibition of full-face Islamic veils, and it is the trend for overall Europe, not only for Austria.There have been several trouble with Islamophobia, so President urges Islamic women to put on headscarves, but some party member and students refuse it due to the freedom of expression. Meanwhile the Freedom Party pushed ahead the law partially restricting religious symbols, such as full-face Islamic veils or Christian cross, to prevent the terror attacks.The phenomenon doesn't occur only in Austria, but in Europe generally, France firstly having implemented a kind of law which have made Belgium, Bulgaria and others follow it.To sum up, there are several controversial concerningenforcing orrestricting people to wear religious itemacross Europe as well as Austria. I have believed in Christianity since my birth, but there have been some peopleexposing displeasure to me due to my religion,and even slandering,then it gave me a mental trauma.I didn't know there are people who don't like Christian before I met that some people at school, and noticed a few of them hate me just because I am Christian.When I was 18 there were students who abused me in the presence of me and insult the religion and people surrounding me.The time became trauma for me and since then I have hesitated to express my belief to people and also felt a sense of guilt for myself about hesitating.There are many conflicts of opinions regarding religion and I also experienced it andget attacked by some peopledirectly criticizing my credit,and it still affects my state of mental.

The article from the BBC deals with the demonstration of Hungary citizens against the government, describingthe new legislation of government, the target university, CEU, of the law,and presents condition of the demonstrators.Hungarian government introduced new rule and passed it to the Higher Education Act, meaning that the CEU, Central European University, which is registered in the US and famous for democratic property, will not be able to continue working in Budapest.CEU is an university founded and sponsored billionairephilanthropist George Soros who has a tense relationship with PM Orban who supported the abolition of the university.Against it, unprecedented demonstration is held by students, their families, and many other elders or adults and they are marching peacefully and chanting the slogans.To sum up, currently in Hungary there are many protesters againstthe government that is aiming at the shut-down of CEU, the university registered in US not Hungary. As in Hungary, in Korea, there have been a lot of demonstration to recover democracy and I participated in them several times,requesting transparent reign, wise policy for welfare,and offering proper education of history. There was an accident last year, where the president operated the country at the sake of particular person, so I insisted that operation of government be transparent and impartial.In addition, usage of taxes collected from nations haven't been efficient and wasted, so I urged to allocate budget considering the people's need and discomfort.Moreover, government tried to offer students history textbooks written by government which contain distorted and biased contents, so I protested publication of them actively. To protect and restore democratic Korea, I tried hard suggestingfair management of country,proper distribution of taxes for people, and right schooling of our past.

The article called, "'Synlight,' An Artificial Sun In Germany, Could Generate Alternative Fuel", says that the Germany is spending efforts trying todevelop alternative green energy, hydrogen and to offset the drawbacks of hydrogen planning to use the "synlight" they are testing now.German Aerospace Center is looking for chemical applications to create hydrogen and hydrogen is often called green energy source because of nonexistence of carbon dioxide which makes the earth warm.However hydrogen has a problem that it requires lots of energy to produce it. In order to overcome this deficiency, Germany is trying to utilize the energy of "synlight", the artificial and powerful light which is as intense as radiation of sun and more reliable than the real sun.To sum up, Germany is looking for the reproduction of hydrogenby using the artificial but intense enough sunwhile overcoming the main shortcomings of hydrogen. I have been interested in the problem of environment, especially alternative energy which is sustainable, so when I was 17, I participated in course studying development of several alternative energyusing the sun, the ocean current, andgas from the machine operated.First of all, the sun is the most ubiquitous and lasting material, but has limited application because of low efficiency, so if there is amplification device, I thought we can use it more extensively. Similarly, the current is always present wherever the sea is, and it has critical feature that there is a tidal basin that can operate the motor which can make energy. Finally, the most I thought likely energy source was gas from the equipment because if we could make suitable chemical reaction, the discharge of machines can be reorganized to make energy, not being a trash of the air. I have thought the most important factor of the alternative energy is prevalence, and for these reasons I still would like to develop the solar energy, mechanism of the ocean, and the discharge from the appliance or commercial machine.
