that scientists put into long-range rocket launch last month.Kim,
shown speaking on state television, said the rise of the standard of
living is a major task of the new year - a clear confirmation that the
North Koreans want to improve the economy, which has long lagged behind
the rest of the North-East Asia.He
also insisted on the development of more advanced weapons, the
"revolution" in the field of science and technology, and a reunion with
"compatriots" in South Korea, where he was elected president last month,
who has vowed to open a dialogue with Pyongyang after five years of
tense relations.It was the first TV reports Day New Year's North Korean leader in 19 years. North
Korea founder Kim Il Sung, regularly spoke to the people in the new

Washington for food aid in exchange for nuclear freeze, but it collapsed
after North Korea was trying to remove the rocket into space in April. The
missile failed shortly after launch, but the success of the second
attempt on December 12 helped Kim get important political and public
support in the country.North Korea welcomed the launch as a big step in the peaceful exploration of space. Washington
and the other is called launch banned testing of ballistic missile
technology and a step in the pursuit of Pyongyang nuclear-tipped
long-range missiles.Governments

nuclear test site that indicates readiness for a possible third nuclear
explosion. North Korea has tested two atomic devices since 2006, just weeks after the United Nations condemned the far run.Annual New Year's Day message, North Korea poses political goals for this year. The need to improve the economy and improvements in the field of science and technology are essential elements. North Korea has little arable land that is prone to natural disasters and struggling to grow enough food for 24 million people.Kim
said nothing about North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons, an issue
of concern to most of Washington, but he wants to become famous - and a
link to the economy - successful launch.North
Korea's slogan for the year, Kim said, should be: "Let's make the
turning point in building an economic giant in the same spirit and
character, which have been specified in the conquest of space!"In
Pyongyang, people danced in the snow at midnight on Monday to celebrate
the end of a great year for North Korea, including the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung and the first year of the
leadership of Kim Jong-UN. Fireworks
lit up the night sky is cold and people were standing in fur parkas,
take pictures and laugh and dance with each other space.Kim
Jong-un, in his speech tried to enjoy North Korea has fond memories of
Kim Il Sung, said Koh Yu-hwan, professor of North Korean studies at
Dongguk University in South Korea.Launch missiles increase morale, said Koch. "Now people are waiting for it to improve the economy and to help them live better economically," said Koch. "Kim Jong Un knows and feels the pressure to meet this demand."Kim speech avoid harsh criticism of the United States, its military enemy. North Korea used the last New Year's editorial to accuse the U.S. of plotting war.But Kim stressed the need for military forces and advanced weapons. "Only
when it is building up its military power in every way it can turn into
a prosperous country and to protect the safety and happiness of the
people," Kim said.Kim
Jong Un made a few changes in their high-profile military and
government, and in his speech he called on officials to "make a
fundamental shift in their ideological point of view, work style and
attitude."The
powerful military chief Ri Yong Ho was fired last year, and some
officials regarded as more moderate, including Uncle Kim Chang Song
Thaek, were increased.Kim
Jong Un has "now work with the moderates he recently appointed to
ensure that North Korea immediately return to negotiations and
unilaterally declared a moratorium on all missile launches and nuclear
tests," Joseph DeTrani, a former North Korea expert for the U.S.
government, says recently.South
Korean President-elect Park Hyo-jin said that she will work in its
five-year term to increase the support and participation of North Korea."If
Kim Jong-un will design the transition from a" military first "to" It's
the economy, stupid ", he will need to promote Seoul, and he did not
wait for five years," John Delury, analyst at Yonsei University in
Seoul, wrote recently. He said that to South Korea, "unclench their fist first, so that the leader of a weak state can reach out."

The
most famous vampire, of course, Bram Stoker, but those looking for a
historical "real" often refer to Romanian Vlad Dracula the Impaler
(1431-1476), who is said to have modeled aspects of Stoker's Dracula
character . Features
Impaler, as a vampire, however, is clearly the West, in Romania, is not
seen as a sadist drink blood, but as a national hero. It
is also known as Vlad Dracula ("son of the dragon"), a name that comes
from his father's membership in the Order of the Dragon Knights, who
defended Christianity and defend the empire of the Ottoman Turks.
Vampires
Most people are familiar with (as Dracula) - human corpses there said
returning from the grave to harm the living, these Slavic vampires have
only a few hundred years. However,
some older versions of the vampire was not designed for humans in
general, but the supernatural, perhaps demonic beings who do not take
the human form.
Matthew
Beresford, author of the "demons of Dracula. Creating a modern vampire
myth," he says, "there is a clear basis for a vampire in the ancient
world, and it is impossible to prove that the myth arose There are
suggestions that the vampire was born in witchcraft, in Ancient Egypt, a demon called this world to another. " There are many options for the vampire world. There
are Asians like Chinese vampires Jianshi, evil spirits that attack
people and leave them without vital energy, blood drinkers wrathful
deities that appear in the "Tibetan Book of the Dead", and many others. [Countdown: Fangs known: the history of our beloved vampire]
Creating a vampire
Interest and belief in ghosts appeared in the Middle Ages in Europe. While most modern stories classic way to become a vampire to be bitten by one, which is a relatively new option. In
his book "Vampires, Burial and Death: Folklore and Reality," said Paul
Barber, folklorist century ago, "often appeared potentials can be
identified at birth, as a rule, errors, defects, for example, when a
baby is born Toothy.
Similarly suspects children are born with an extra nipple (in Romania,
for example), the cartilage of the nose, or a fracture of the lower lip
(in Russia) ... When a child is born with red membrane or
amniotic membrane covering the head, is believed in most of Europe, as
supposed proof that he is destined to return from the dead. "These small
deformations are considered a bad omen, and it is likely that many of
the children died in place when these signs were discovered, and the survivors grew the burden of public suspicion.The skull was buried with a vampire like qualitiesThe skeleton was buried in a cemetery in Pisa Vecchiano shows a similar condition of the alleged "vampire Venice".
The belief in vampires associated with superstition and false assumptions about post-mortem decay. The
first recorded accounts of vampires following patterns: Some
unexplained misfortune happen to a person, family or people - maybe dry
or drought cultures equally infectious disease. Before
science could explain the climate and the germ theory, any negative
event, so there was no apparent reason may be related to vampires. Vampires were a simple answer to the old question of why bad things happen to good people.
Residents
share their belief that something damn afraid of the dead, and came to
the conclusion that perhaps the recently deceased may be responsible,
after returning from a serious offense. The graves were dug, and villagers are surprised as normal processes of decomposition of a supernatural phenomenon. For
example, while the laity, we can assume that the body breaks down
immediately, although sealed coffin and buried in the winter, decay can
last several weeks or months, the expansion creates intestinal tumor,
which can cause blood in mouth, makes him look like a corpse recently sucked blood. These
methods are well known to modern medicine and the funeral, but in
medieval Europe were taken as the surest signs that vampires were real
and existed between them.
Vampire protectionAlleged "vampire" was found in VeniceSkull "Vampire of Venice", found in a mass grave with a brick stuck in the jaw.
In some traditions, the best way to stop the vampire who carry a small bag of salt with you. If
you are being chased, just pour salt on the floor behind you, the
vampire must stop and count every grain before continuing persecution. If you do not have salt on hand, some say that small grain produced, including birdseed or sand. Others say that there is an unwritten rule tag vampire can not enter a house if a formal invitation to enterCenturies ago, it was not uncommon for suspected involvement in the tomb vampires. The
idea was to physically eliminate the vampire to the ground, and the
chest was chosen because it is the body, not because of any particular
connection to the heart symbol. Other
traditional methods, such as burying vampires that interfere with (or
re-bury) phone over and decapitation, which often includes the severed
head of his mouth stuffed with garlic or brick.
There are, of course, some animals actually a vampire, like leeches, lampreys and vampires. In all these cases, the intention of the vampire is enough to draw blood for life, but not enough to kill the host. But what about human vampires? Of course, many self-identified vampires involved in the inspiration goth subculture. Some
club owners vampire themed books or bloodletting ritual secrets, while
others use layers or get dental implants vampire fangs. But drinking blood is nothing. The
problem is that the blood is toxic because it is rich in iron - and
because the human body has difficulty assigning excess iron - those who
regularly consume blood runs a real risk of hemochromatosis (iron
overdose) may cause a variety of diseases and conditions including liver and nervous system.
Vampires
have been part of human culture and folklore of various forms for
thousands of years, and no signs of going away leeches in the short
term. Of course, if a zombie apocalypse destroys.
