5 impressive pictures to me

He is korean soccer hero Cha Bumkeun. He was so nice that even he performed cover model of French soccer magazine once. When I see this picture, I want to be like him who makes our nation more famous than yesterday.

John Gurdon, Novel physiology and medicine prize winner, is receiving his prize. This picture is one of the best encouragement for me. I hope to be there someday. 

Ahn Hyunsoo, Golden prize winner of short track, as a Russian. He was Korean like me, but he changed his nation because of political faction in Korea. I think He is the best athlete of short track in the world, but we lost him

This is trophy of UEFA Champions league. Champions league is one of the best event of Soccer, and This picture makes me excited because I anticipate this event. In fact I watched the game REAL MADRID vs BAYERN MUNCHEN Which is semi-final of Champions league last dawn.

SEWAL ship disaster. Many people died or lost because of incompetent captain and sailors. Nevertheless there were enough time to rescue the people inside the ship, inappropriate handle makes situation worse. 

Animal experiment, does it need or not?

Animal experimentation is experimentation or scientific process which uses animals as experimental materials. Purposes of Animal experimentation are education, test, research, biological material synthesis and so many other things. It is thought that about 0.3 billion experimental animals are used in all over the world every year, and unfortunately most of used animal is killed after experimentation is over. From the past, many scientists, doctors, even philosophers, used experimental animals. Purposes of their works were just curiosity, testing the treatment, and many other purposes. Recently, even law that obligate the animal experimentation was legislated after thalidomide tragedy(Thalidomide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Thalidomide tragedy – Thalidomide was drug for the pregnant and was approved as safe drugs through animal experimentation, but many side effect was revealed thorough newborn infant.

You guys can think that why animal is needed in experimentation, but many supporters of animal experimentation insist that progression of medical science and life science in 20^th century is thanks to animal experimentation. They say there is nothing that can mimic the living cell, living tissue, living organ, and living organism. They insist only organism can mimic the organism. In fact, the truth that we have received a lot from animal experimentation is undeniable. For example, in 1922 Insulin was isolated from dogs and this recruited revolution of diabetes treatment.

Isolation of Insulin through animal experimentation was revolutionary treatment for diabetes patients.

In some organization, they insist that animal has essential right not to be used in animal experimentation. Furthermore, humans and animals(except human) are quite different, so datas from animal sometimes can be useless. For examples. Drug named Clioquinol passed the animal experimentation in 1976, and was approved as a safe drug. However, after Clioquinol on market, about 10 thousands of people experienced deafness, paralyzed limbs, even some died.

I think animal experimentation is inevitable steps for research of biological, medical fields. So I think animal experimentation should be go on. I wish new techniques which can be alternative solution instead of animal experimentation to be developed as soon as possible, but actually it is not easy. In laboratory, experimentation in tissue level cannot be performed without animal experimentation. No experimentation, no progression in science. To develop alternative technique, progression in science is requirement. Indeed, cell experimentation was developed few decades ago, and animal experimentation was partly reduced. This was product of scientific progression. although many animals were died before. Even though we cannot avoid animal experimentation now, as science advanced, someday we will be able to find alternative solution of animal experimentation.

Then what should we do to minimize the risk of animal of experimentation? I recommend, especially for ladies, to use animal experimentation free cosmetics! Because we cannot touch the area of scientists, Although we cannot save the mice in lab, but we can reduce the usage of the product which is experimented by animal. Indeed, many cosmetics are experimented by poor animal. However, these days, many experimentation free cosmetics are released. If demand for animal experimentation is reduced, naturally dying animals will be reduced as well. Fortunately, we can easily know what brand is animal experimentation free brand through internet.

Finally, I prepared two videos, first video is about cosmetic and animal.
Second video is about animal experimentation.

Evaluating my CURRENT(FROM THE START OF THIS SEMESTER) life

Today I'm going to evaluate my life from start of semester to now. I do this for better life.

First, In aspect of academic achievement, I think that I can give high score to myself(★★★★★). I have been concentrated in my course work, and in my spare time, I have studied in laboratory of immunology. I tired to be always busy. Every morning I commuted to school, and kept my seat. So, I think that my academic achivement of this semester is great.

Second, In aspect of time usage efficiency, I can't give full five stars, but four(★★★★☆). Although I tired not to make extra time, still there was extra time. When I use subway to commute college, I spend this time just listening to music. Repeated usage of mobile phone of mine is also problem. I think that about a hour is vaporizing. But I gave myself four stars because I tired to use my time efficiently, and Indeed I could make my time usage more efficient.

Third aspect is  health. In aspect of health, No more than One star(★☆☆☆☆). Primarilly, sleeping shortage. MY average sleeping time abou 5 Hours, and I cannot have break times even at weekend for some reasons, so my health is getting worth. Secondly, I can't do regular exercise because of report, major study, and so on. Fat in my abdomen is accumulating. Finally, no regular meal because of busy lab work and course work. Sometimes I eat 2 meals per day...It's so painful. Many reasons made score of health a one star.

Final aspect is entertainment, or pleasure in my life. I want to give score of 3stars(★★★☆☆). Mainly, I am very 'fit' to my major. I am always happy when I study my major or do my experiment in laboratory. However, there is obsession to high GPA. This makes me have no composure. I can't have hobby too Beacuse there is no time to enjoy my hobby.

On the Whole, my score is 13/20 stars, and about 65% of full score. This means that I need to raise the quality of mt life. At the end of semester I hope Quality of my life to be increased.
