Iranian scientist claims to have invented 'time machine'

(The telegraph By Ahmed Vahdat)

An Iranian businessman claims to have mastered time with a machine that allows users to fast forward up to eight years into the future.

Ali Razeghi, a Tehran scientist has registered "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine" with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions.

The device can predict the future in a print out after taking readings from the touch of a user, he told the Fars state newsagency.

Razaeghi, 27, said the device worked by a set of complex algorithims to "predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98 percent accuracy".

As the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic Inventions, Razeghi is a serial inventor with 179 other inventions listed under his own name. "I have been working on this project for the last 10 years," he said.

"My invention easily fits into the size of a personal computer case and can predict details of the next 5-8 years of the life of its users. It will not take you into the future, it will bring the future to you."

Razeghi says Iran's government can predict the possibility of a military confrontation with a foreign country, and forecast the fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies and oil prices by using his new invention.

"Naturally a government that can see five years into the future would be able to prepare itself for challenges that might destabilise it," he said. "As such we expect to market this invention among states as well as individuals once we reach a mass production stage."

Razeghi said his latest project has been criticised by friends and relatives for "trying to play God" with ordinary lives and history. "This project is not against our religious values at all. The Americans are trying to make this invention by spending millions of dollars on it where I have already achieved it by a fraction of the cost," he said. "The reason that we are not launching our prototype at this stage is that the Chinese will steal the idea and produce it in millions overnight."

Questions:

1. Do you believe that time machines exist now?

2. Do you think a time machine can be invented?

3. Is time travel possible? If it is possible what part of your life

History you want to change?

4. What time machine could help if it really exists?

5. Is time machine all you need?

If you could travel through time, where would you go?

6. If time travel become a reality, what things you want to do?

Why Are Korean Television Dramas So Addicting?

(By:Erika Ayala)

Have you ever wondered what makes Korean dramas so popular among Asians? Why do you think they stay glued to their television sets time and again to watch series after series that seem to follow the same old plot lines and twists? I believe that these shows are able establish a strong emotional connection with its audience.

 And this is the main reason they find these shows so addicting. Life isn't easy. There are times when you feel really happy. But for the most part you are struggling to make a living, or nursing the wounds of your recently concluded love life. Then you watch this television show from Korea and you go: 'Hey, this girl or guy is going through exactly the same thing I am.'

So you start watching every episode of the show. Each time an episode ends with a cliffhanger forcing you to watch the start of the next one in order to find out what happens. Sometimes these Korean dramas have stories that become unrealistically depressing. Characters start losing their memories and getting into freak accidents for no apparent reason.

And all the more viewers will watch. They believe that if this character can overcome such difficult problems, then perhaps there is hope for them as well. At times, the series has a happy ending which is all well and good. Other times, the story ends in tragedy. And you seem to agree with the sad ending because that's life.

Being able to watch the lives of others unfold-even if these people are of a different culture or race-is very endearing. After all, we are all humans. We have the same emotions and the same yearning for love. The best Korean actors and actresses have the power to make you cry and laugh together with them. To make you empathize in all their endeavors.

People who watch Korean dramas do so because they want to get on the roller coaster ride of emotions that only a well-made drama can give.

Questions:

1. Do you like watching Korean soap operas?‎

2. Why are many people so crazy over Korean dramas?

3.Why are Korean soap operas so popular in Taiwan?

4. What makes people like to watch soap operas?

Why do women find soap operas so fascinating?

5. What are your favorite soap operas?

6. How does watching soap operas affect us? Advantages and disadvantages of watching soap operas?

掌握未來不是夢！　伊朗科學家宣稱已發明「時光機」

國際中心／綜合報導

伊朗1位科學家聲稱，他發明了1個可以預測世界未來8年的「時光機」，且準確率高達98%，目前他已在伊朗官方機構「戰略發明中心」進行專利註冊。

據英國《每日郵報》報導，年僅27歲伊朗德黑蘭科學家阿里拉齊格(Ali Razeghi)是伊朗戰略發明中心的常務董事，他另有179項的發明。

拉齊格表示，他花了10年研究這個項目，時光機透過複雜的演算法可以預測，世界未來5至8年左右的。拉齊格強調，「雖然它不會帶你到未來，但是會把未來帶到你面前」，而且準確率高達98%。

他說，伊朗政府透過時光機，可以預測未來與其他國家發生軍事衝突的可能性，及外匯、石油價格波動等，如果大規模生產，將會被許多國家使用。拉齊格強調，他的發明很很輕便，可以放入個人電腦包。

對此，有人批評拉齊格的發明扮演上帝違反宗教。但拉齊格駁斥，時光機無違反宗教價值，且美國投入無數大筆資金開發類似機器，而我卻花很少資金就達到目標。不過，可惜的是拉齊格目前不願意公布時光機的原型。

韓流 

韓流是亞洲地區繼日本後又一大規模的流行勢力。21世紀以來韓國產品和文化在世界，尤其是Y世代中流行的代名詞。韓流現象在亞洲各國普遍存在，其中以日本、香港、越南、泰國、馬來西亞、新加坡、中國大陸、菲律賓和台灣最為明顯，並達印度、中東、中亞和俄羅斯等。

韓流現象目前正迅速擴展到亞洲以外的美洲和拉丁美洲國家，尤其是在墨西哥和阿根廷。韓流在美國也越來越流行。在歐洲、澳洲和非洲，韓流也已經抬頭。

韓國是世界十大文化產品輸出國之一。韓流一般是從韓劇開始。韓劇的流行也帶動韓國電影、韓國音樂、料理和韓語的流行。韓流已經成為隨著三星、LG、現代等大型跨國公司的發展而崛起的韓國經濟的同義詞。

韓劇影響

韓劇早期的風格受日劇影響，但其後逐漸創出韓國的特色風格，並在亞洲地區廣為流傳，受到觀眾好評，並引發對韓劇、韓國文學作品、韓語學習、韓國風格的服飾、韓國旅遊、韓國風格飲食等的哈韓熱潮，被稱作「韓流」。

韓劇中常大量重複出現飲食、旅遊、時尚、服裝、科技等類型的植入廣告，從而帶動了韓國經濟。
