I remember the moment when Barack Obama announce his winning speech at a park in Chicago…
This scene was linked the dramatic moment in South Korea in 2002.
The moment, when the 16th President of Republic of Korea was elected, was very similar than what happened in the USA in 2008.
Late Roo Moo-Hyun, who was the 16th president of Republic of Korea (South Korea).
He was the symbol of democracy and moderate liberal politics in South Korea.
Unbelievable death…
Actually, he committed suicide but it is believed that Political Revenge culture from politicians, polices, prosecutors and media gave the motivation of his suicide.
Preparing period was seriously challengeable time for Korean Baseball team.
Anyone did not want to be manager (It might be the effect from Olympics)
In addition, It was hard to make squad because some of important players, who are in overseas league, did not enter the team (by their own decision and problems).
Just one Japan Pro League player and Just one Major League (US) player… That’s all… Other players are in Korean Pro League players.
Therefore, It was expected Korean Baseball team is out at Second rounds.
(WBC – 1st round –> 2nd round –> Finals)
However, today…
They standed the pitch, the grand final of WBC ‘09 and faced Japan, rival of rival for long long time.
They beaten Taipei China (Taiwan), China, Mexico, Venezuela and Japan (two times).
It could be impossible journey for them.
Well done, after 4 years, I believe Korea could be the top of world baseball teams.
Thanks and I’m proud of you
Korean Baseball Team
(P.S.) I wish Double Elimination rule should be dropped from next WBC. How many Korea and Japan matches were in ‘09 WBC. It’s five times (1R 2, 2R 2 and final 1). Is it reasonable schedule?
The reason of Heart Oxfordshire launching is GCap, formal owner of Fox FM, Xfm, Capital Radio (London), Classic FM and Etc., was merged with Global Radio, which is owner of Heart. After merger, Global Radio decided that One network, which were local radio stations brand of GCap (Included Fox FM), replace to Heart Network. So, we will hear Heart Oxfordshire on FM 102.6 and 97.4.
When I read Oxford Mail’s reader comments. I feel lots of people worry about they might lose one of local radio station. I am not sure how Heart Oxfordshire manage the time slots between local production and London HQ production.
I know some of my mates dislike Fox FM because music choice, present style, news value and Etc…
By the way, do you expect Heart solves these problems?
By the Way, other Oxfordshire commercial radio station, 106 Jack FM and Oxford’s FM 1079 are owned by Absolute Radio, which was Virgin Radio. However, I think these station are not effected from Absolute Radio and concentrate to local audience. Do you think Heart need to be localised as other local commercial stations or to broadcast as nationalised station ? (Which mean Heart Oxon broadcasts more Heart London programmes)
By the way, I just wait new ear of Oxfordshire commercial radio.
(P.S.) When Oxfordshire local radio launch DAB? FM signal of my house is too poor. Especially, I cannot listen Oxford’s FM 1079 because it has too noisy signal. However, I do not have any problem when I listen DAB station. I am looking forward to hear Oxford local stations on DAB.
After watching The FA cup 4th round replay highlight on bloody itv1. I found the colour of road is changed to white. Any cars and people haven't passed the road yet after snow.
The article about a Chinese tycoon, who is admired English culture so he lives as an English Gentleman. From SKY NEWS (UK) read moredigg story
----------
This is a quote from this Chinese tycoon.
"In England they teach their children to become gentleman, not like children from other countries other countries. I had a friend who sent his child to be educated in America but it didn't turn out well."
Yes, Snow in Desert… It is one of unexpected luck. I might have a same kind of unexpected luck. It didn’t happen.
I should do Work Placement for attending Honours module. Last summer, I didn’t find it so I have been looking for work placement, which is able to on this winter.
Last November, I applied to one large organisation, which is located on London by the internet. My application… It is so rubbish.
Anyway… After a month… When I challenged lots (??) of assignments, I heard one of Oxford local organisations provides work placement. Also,I applied it again and had got meeting on last Tuesday.
Last Monday, I have an voice mail on my mobile phone. That message was came from London organisation, which I applied on last month. She, who called to me, asked to call back for discussing my work placement application.
It was surprised from this message, I did not expect they contact me.
However from Tuesday…
I had meeting with the administer of Oxford organisation. When the administer asked “Could you tell me about you?”
Yes, it is very very very basic question. However, I found my answer was so dump. Repeat, Repeat and Repeat. I did not give ant impression comments to the administer.
In addition, when he asked “What kinds of work placement I want to do?”… Oh my god… How do I answered it? Yes… Dummy, Dummy and Dummy.
I just expected to do what they ask. However, I never expected I might say what I want to do for work placement.
Yes, it the alarm alert of disaster.
In addition, I said I have got contact from London organisation. (Suicide…)
I tried to promote me as possible and the administer said just now they did not have place so they will contact me on March. I hope to get contact to them again.
Ok… It was last Tuesday nightmare. However, Last Wednesday… Finally, I’ve got call from London organisation.
Also, the caller asked same question as the day before. “What do you want to do?”… Also, I answered as a dummy.
The phone was not longer than I expected. I did to introduce me and answered what this organisation provides which kinds of work placement. It was nice for me but they might do not feel my interesting.
The caller said if they are accept me, I might received the call on today.
I wait… However, the phone hasn’t rang.
Shame….
Yes, the unexpected luck… It did not happen for me.
