North Korea and Arts in Africa?

We find it quite ironical to find a regime, closed off from the rest of the international community slowly finding its way through a cultural discourse. Just recently especially within the Western media, alot of attention was spend on the lavish spending of the Senegalese government on a monument celebrating their 50th independence. From a smart perspective these money is worth spending on the people who needed it most, otherwise how could their taste the suppose fruits of freedom, when their leaders can use billions for objects of admiration. The corny part of the debate was the people who built these kinds of monuments on African soil- At the expense of their oppresion, North Koreans are locked away in concentration camps,only to flown to Africa to build these monuments, which paradoxically suppose to reflect freedom. The institution responsible for this Mansudae Overseas Development Project has been building monuments and state houses in Africa for billions. Importing North Korean workers to work on these sites at the expense of local people, who most are unemployed. Certainly these governments are doing their people are great favour, by subjugating them in the ever continuing circle of poverty.

Here is a list of sites,whic could be of interests. But be carefull sometimes things sound true than their usually are, because it's a war of information.

new security culture

Face.com has scanned more than 7 billion photos in the past year, indexing more than 52 million faces with its Photo Finder and Photo tagger apps on Facebook. Now it is expanding beyond the social network by launching a developer tool that will let you embed the face recognition technology in any site.

Tel Aviv, Israel-based Face.com has created face-recognition software that has proven to be a big time saver for those who want to keep up with photos posted of themselves or their friends on Facebook. Photo Finder lets you discover photos of yourself or your friends that are untagged (or not yet identified with a name). And Photo Tagger lets you collect faces into an album of photos that you can tag. Both are in public beta testing now.

This kind of tool is popular because of the volume of photos being uploaded to Facebook, which has become the largest photo-sharing site in the world, with nearly 2 billion photos per month. The company says the face recognition is accurate enough to identify faces in sub-optimal circumstances, such as poor lighting, poor focus, subjects wearing eyeglasses, facial hair and even Halloween costumes.
