Such significant task should go through the authority so that it could be packaged nicely and consistently. How could it be left to ordinary civilians, who may do a botched job?    Sweden thinks otherwise. Swedish Tourism Board initiated a campaign, “Curator of Sweden”. The Board thinks that “A country is constituted by people! There is no single channel that could claim to be the sole representative of whole Sweden and therefore, rather

G!VOICE Recommend: “In 1984, the rock band, Anvil joined the to-be-mega-bands such as Bon Jovi and Whitesnake for world tour and enjoyed the glory on stage. Back then, their music even influenced Slash, the former guitar player of Guns N’ Roses and Lars Ulrich, from Metallica. Such influential bank should have made it in the music scene, right? But in real life, you need have the right people at the right time and at the right place. Anvil had some rough time in luck which caused them their deserved fame at crucial juncture.

The movie was about the fame, money, rights, conviction and honor between the victory and defeat in the professional football world. What kind of choice would you make? What do you believe in? There were a lot of ‘lecture’ segments such as negotiation, pep talks before the game and persuasion etc.  The trailer for the game, Madden NFL 13 adopted the same feature. Ray Lewis’s emotional and gung-ho performance, his talk with himself, and to

Remember the 3.11 Earthquake in Japan 2 years ago? That was the first time the impact of such disasters really hit me by “witnessing” it with my own eyes. (A few colleagues and I hung around the TV all afternoon watching live broadcast. We were in awe of nature’s cruelty, and and the same time, impressed with how fast the Japanese new reporters were able to get there.) It was unreal, almost as if watching a movie. Before this, there has not been an occasion where the actual happening of a natural disaster is fed to viewers live. It

Besides inserting chic, modern elements into the building structure, it aims to improve the community’s medical quality.
