Google Unveils Detailed Map of NKorea | Essentials

Google Unveils Detailed Map of NKorea

Kim Il-sung Square. Pyongyang, North Korea.

Excerpt:

On Tuesday, Google unveiled a detailed map of North Korea, offering a rare glimpse inside the streets, landmarks and even the gulags located in the world's most isolated country. From train stations to department stores, the Pyongyang zoo, and the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where the embalmed bodies of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il lay, the new map fills in the blanks in what has long been an empty space. Most striking, it labels the notorious gulags, North Korea's secret labor camps, where more than 100,000 prisoners are reportedly held in inhumane conditions. The prisons, which appear large enough to be cities, are highlighted in shades of gray. The images aren't as crisp as ones you'll find when searching other parts of the world, but search for Camp 22 and the Hoeryong Gullag and you will be able to see the outline of the camp.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Bone Tired: You Yawn, So Does Your Dog | Synopsis

Bone Tired: You Yawn, So Does Your Dog

Excerpt:

It turns out that part of canine habits may provide evidence that dogs truly are man 's best buddy. A study from Lund University in Sweden located that our canine friends typically yawn in reaction to seeing a human do the exact same thing. The phenomenon, known as contagious yawning, is prominent among many groups of pets, humans included. However, the process, which is believed to show empathy and help contribute to team mentality and social structure, has actually been less studied between types.

0.146546“They go through what seems to be an empathy development that somehow mirrors humans’ empathy development, so it’s just obviously on a very different time scale,” Madsen said. “Human children don’t begin to yawn contagiously until they’re about 4 years old. Below that age, they seem pretty immune to others yawning at them. In dogs, this happens when they’re about 7 months old. Dogs below that age don’t seem to yawn, either.”
