Educating North Korea (2014) - Unlocking the Secrets of Elite University: A Panorama Documentary

29 March, 2014 | Documentaries | 11 seen

The documentary "Educating North Korea" from British BBC Panorama sheds light on one of the world's most closed and oppressive societies.

North Korea is ruled by the young and ruthless leader Kim Jong-un, who has threatened nuclear war against the United States and recently executed his own uncle. In the heart of this absolute dictatorship, there is a remarkable university that is attempting to change the minds of the nation's future elite.

The university, which is paid for by the West, offers a unique opportunity for students to learn from foreign lecturers and gain exposure to new ideas.

The university is located in the heart of North Korea and is unlike any other academic institution in the world. It is designed to educate the future leaders of the country and is exclusively for the sons of some of the most powerful men in the nation. The aim of the university is to give these young men a chance to broaden their horizons and see the world from a different perspective. The university is a rare window into North Korea, offering a glimpse into a world that is otherwise off-limits to outsiders.

Behind China's Economic Boom: How China Fooled the World (2014) Documentary Reveals the Secrets

27 March, 2014 | Documentaries | 7 seen

"How China Fooled the World" is a documentary film produced by Martin Durkin and broadcasted on Channel 4 in the UK in 2014. The film explores the impact of China's rapid economic growth on the global economy and argues that China's success story is not what it seems.

The documentary opens by highlighting the impressive growth rates of the Chinese economy, which have outpaced those of the West over the past few decades. It then goes on to question the sustainability of this growth, pointing out that much of it has been fueled by cheap credit, government subsidies, and exports to the West. The film suggests that China has been able to maintain its growth by manipulating its currency, suppressing wages, and flouting international trade rules.

One of the main arguments of the film is that China has built up massive overcapacity in its industries, particularly in steel and other heavy industries. This overcapacity has driven down prices and hurt producers in other countries, leading to accusations of unfair competition. The film argues that the Chinese government has been slow to address this problem, instead relying on more credit-fueled growth to keep the economy…

Node reference views display using relationships

20 March, 2014 | Drupal Development | 5 seen

I started doing some Drupal powered site rebuilding.

By first of all I deleted all views and un-installed and deleted modules that are not must-have. 

Then I started from scratch building with views:

It took me some time (about 5 minutes) to remember how to display referenced nodes on other node page.

Here is what you will need to achieve such behavior: 

Create a new view, add Contextual filter nid, and add Relationships - referenced nodes, then add your fields and make them related to relationship, then just put block in your content area.

Today, finally my new used hinges arrived, and I had an opportunity to change the broken ones with new ones. Hinges traveled to me from China to US and the to Georgia, pretty impressive route, right?

Anyway I'm happy with my new hinges, and hope that my beloved laptop HP Compaq 6510b will please me for few more years. 

Update: The good old HP Compaq 6510b still pleases me, but I have finally bought a new ASUS laptop (September, 2015)

16 March, 2014 | Outdoor Activities | 8 seen

Left Embankment of Mtkvari is one of the longest asphalt pavement cycling distances in city of Tbilisi - it stretches from Didube to Ortochala (passing Tbilisi Old Town). It is among the easiest routes as well. 

For today's cycling assignment I decided to use section Marjinashvili - Didube - Marjinashivli from Left Embankment of Mtkvari

Embankment of Mtkvari in Tbilisi is really cool place for riders (and not only), except sudden obstacles, like inappropriate parked cars, or superficially repairs. Left Embankment is cool by one more reason - it' s cool for photography  - you can get some cool Tbilisi architecture shots from here:

You can meet here fellow riders, runners and a lot of fisherman.
