Don’t know how to deal with this baking heat and humidity? Let me make you one suggestion. An event titled "Spending the Summer at the Royal Palace" is being held from July 24 through August 31 at Changgyeonggung Palace. The clear stream "euhgoo" flows along Geumcheon path with pleasant, gurgling sounds, and you can take a rest in the shades drawn by the lush trees planted along the way. And the various aquatic plants that are on display such as lotuses and water lilies will capture even your heat-fatigued mind. Not a bad way to spend a sizzling summer day, huh?

Have you heard of the term "Ethernet?" It’s a system where multiple computers scattered far and wide can form a network and share information, widely used in the banking or trading industry that operates hundreds of branch stores. Traditionally, the Ethernet market has been dominated by advanced countries such as the US, Japan, and Germany, but recently, Korean industrial Ethernet technology has been adopted as an international standard. Let’s learn a bit about this Korean Ethernet technology!

Korean agency trains police officers on cyber crime
By Rosemary Mirondo
19th July 2010EmailPrintComments
Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has organised special training for members of the Police Force on the prevention and combating of cyber crime.

KOICA country representative Holywater OH said recently that the course aimed to build capacity of local police and to enable them to share the Korean experience and knowledge in curbing web-based crimes.

He said knowledge and experience on various forms of cyber crime was crucial in this era of the increasing foreign investment and technology development.

OH said the training was part of implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation between KOICA and the Police Force signed on May 18, this year.

He said under the MoU, the agency committed itself to supporting the force in the area of technical assistance on human resource development through training programs.

The training, he explained, aimed to increase understanding about KOICA and the World Friends Korea volunteers’ program among security contact officers of the areas where KOICA volunteers serve.

Additionally, OH said, the programs were designed to strengthen the relationship between KOICA and the contact officers. Among the participants were the security contact officers from 32 areas of the country where KOICA volunteers serve.

More than 50 participants had chances to increase understanding of KOICA and its programs including the presentation about World Friends Korea’s activities in Tanzania, he said.

According to OH, participants also had a chance to discuss the ways to strengthening security and safety of the World Friends Korea volunteers in their working and leaving areas.

He further said KOICA would invite seven officers from Tanzania to participate in the international workshop on cyber crime to be held in Korea in September, this year.

He further said that, KOICA plans to dispatch a Tae-Kwon-Do (Korean Martial Arts) programme to the Dar es Salaam Police College for joining the training staff over there.

It’s expected that the workshop would play an important role in strengthening the mutual cooperation and good relations between KOICA and the Tanzanian police.

OH said the agency is responsible for the government of South Korea’s grant aid programs to Tanzania and other partner countries. Currently, there are over 100 World Friends Korea volunteers serving in various places in the country in the fields of education, health, agriculture, ICT and community development, he said.
