Though fears concerning the Coronavirus persist among the public, the film industry is ushering people to
cinemas with discount coupons for movie tickets. The Korean Film Council, a state-funded institution, will
be giving out discount coupons for movie tickets over a three-week period starting Monday.

Cinemagoers will be able to receive a 6,000 won (US$4.90) discount per movie ticket, according to the
KOFIC’s announcement made last week. The discount coupons, which will allow theatergoers to watch
movies at about half-price -- average movie tickets priced around 10,000 won here -- are applicable only
for films screened Thursday through Sunday.

The three biggest multiplexes -- CGV, Megabox and Lotte Cinema -- will distribute the coupons through their
respective websites, with two coupons limited to each person per week on a first come, first served basis.
Another multiplex operator, Cine Q stated anyone who reserves tickets will get the discount within the
period. Four tickets are allowed per person per week.

The discount event was originally slated to kick off as a post-COVID-19 support measure for the film
industry around May 21, in line with the government’s easing of social distancing rules in early May.
However, with the sudden eruption of mass infections stemming from the Itaewon area in Seoul, the
promotion was postponed. KOFIC has reassured that safety measures will be followed for theaters,
including checking temperatures, distanced seating and a strict quarantine system inside the halls.

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) started to spread worldwide, there have been a plethora of
conspiracy theories roaming internet forums alleging the virus's source in an attempt to make sense of the
pandemic that has crippled the global community. Prominent themes coming from these theories try to link
the source of the coronavirus to a Chinese classified biological weapons program located in Wuhan, while
the other major theory links the pandemic to a grand design intentionally made by major pharmaceutical
companies.

Entrepreneur Bill Gates is also being blamed for the cause of COVID-19, together with the World
Health Organization (WHO) as the alleged culprit. This begs the question of whether there are any truths
behind these allegations. Talking more about the virus, the researcher said that the SARS CoV-2 might
naturally undergo an evolution now that enables it to survive natural selection that ends up sparking
illnesses.

A researcher at the Department of Microbiology of Hasanuddin University's Faculty of Medicine,

Rizalinda Syahril, said that the allegations have yet been proven with concrete evidence. Syahril said that
the virus has already been identified since 1965 as at the time, it infected mammals and birds, causing
enteritis in cows and swine. The virus then affected the respiratory systems of poultry and eventually
humans. “The virus spread to numerous regions such as America, Europe, due to failing to stop the chain of
transmissions,” said Syahril.

There have been a number of differences in the way geography is now to be approached in the National
Curriculum. It was decided that there would be a renewed emphasis on spatial knowledge, as well as the
human and physical processes. This should cover some technical procedures such as using grid references.
There should also be a renewed commitment towards the concept of fieldwork and the use of maps, as well
as written communication.

Dealing with geography, the National Curriculum includes certain topics, but not necessarily how they
should be taught. For example, the focus at key stage 1 is developing knowledge about the United Kingdom
and the world. Students should study certain fact such as the world’s seven continents and their locations.
They should be able to name and identify the four countries and capital cities of the UK. Trips to London
may include extra-curricular education that can aid students‟ understanding of the United Kingdom. They
also should be able to identify seasonal weather patterns, identify hot and cold areas of the world, and use
world maps and globes to identify the UK and other countries and oceans.

As they progress to key stage 2, students are expected to extend their knowledge to include Europe, North,
and South America as well as significant human and physical features. They should be able to identify the
position of latitude, longitude, the Equator and other large features of the world such as the Tropics of
Cancer and Capricorn.

Students at key stage 2 should study more physical geography including the climate zones, biomes and
features such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Trips to destinations such as Iceland could encourage further
learning about some of the world’s physical geography. There is a huge emphasis on geographical skills at
this stage. Students should be able to use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references
and keys on Ordinance Survey maps in order to develop their knowledge.

No one doubts that the words we write or speak are an expression of our inner thoughts and personalities.
But beyond the meaningful content of language, a wealth of unique insights into an author’s mind are hidden
in the style of a text - in such elements as how often certain words and word categories are used, regardless
of context. When people try to present themselves a certain way, they tend to select what they think are
appropriate nouns and verbs, but they are unlikely to control their use of articles and pronouns. These small
words create the style of a text, which is less subject to conscious manipulation.

Social psychologist James W. Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin Pennebaker developed a
computer program that analyzes text, called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC, pronounced “Luke”).
The software has been used to examine other speech characteristics as well, tallying up nouns and verbs in
hundreds of categories to expose buried patterns.

Most recently, Pennebaker and his colleagues used LIWC to analyze the candidates’ speeches and interviews
during last fall’s presidential election. The software counts how many times a speaker or author uses words
in specific categories, such as emotion or perception, and words that indicate complex cognitive processes.
It also tallies up so-called function words such as pronouns, articles, numerals and conjunctions. Within
each of these major categories are subsets: Are there more mentions of sad or happy emotions? Does the
speaker prefer "I" and "me" to "us" and "we"? LIWC answers these quantitative questions; psychologists
must then figure out what the numbers mean. Before LIWC was developed in the mid-1990s, years of
psychological research in which people counted words by hand established robust connections between
word usage and psychological states or character traits.

The political candidates, for example, showed clear differences in their speaking styles. John McCain tended
to speak directly and personally to his constituency, using a vocabulary that was both emotionally loaded
and impulsive. Barack Obama, in contrast, made frequent use of causal relationships, which indicated more
complex thought processes. He also tended to be vaguer than his Republican rival.
