Blog Project 3 : Asia (Singapore)

< 1. Singapore launched nano satellite VELOX-1 >

 Singapore is progressing a project that making student-made satellite. VELOX-1 is the one of this project. This project is that university students make a lot of satellites and new technology which is carried in satellites. This small satellite carries the new lenses, new sensors, state-of-the-art control center. In this project there are a lot of different satellite. This project related with student will be a base of the Singapore satellite industry.

 Everything is very impressed, but the point that this project is running with university student is the most impressive. My first dream was the researcher of Korea aerospace. Like this to me, it is very envious. In Korea, there are no such a project like this. In singapore, the university student can join in making satellites and technology. It will be a great experience of them and they will carry the Singapore satellite industry. I think this kind of national project is needed in Korea to approach our goals.

< 2. Singapore researcher finds less sleep may age our brain faster >

 

 

 The researcher of Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore finds that less sleep person's brain aging may faster than others. Before this research, the effects of sleep on the neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's have never been measured. Past research is only just has examined the impact of sleep duration on cognitive functions in older adults. Now the new research of sleep and  neurodegenerative diseases is important implication for the rise of dementia among the elderly.

 I think there are three strange parts. These are space, sea and brain. brain is group of biological high techniques. Although our science technology is very developed through our brain, but we cannot solve the secret of the brain. However, it will be proven sometimes, because the research is going right in this moment iike in this research. The solution of incurable diseases will be found through these kind of research. I hope that day come faster.

< 3. Singapore Burger King gives 1000 free whoppers to Singaporean soldier >

 Singapore Burger King gives whoppers to singaporean soldiers to celebrate SAF day. The SAF day means 'Singapore Armed Force day". It is like the day of army in Korea. The Burger King provide to them about 1000 whoppers. They did it because to send the mind that thanks to soldiers to defending their home and help people. This was the second time that they provide to them.

 It was very impressive article. The treatment to soldier is quite good. More than any other things, I was very impressed the Manager of Burger King. He said "We hope to show our appreciation by giving them the opportunity to have a satisfying meal, on us and what better choice other than whopper, our biggest and most iconic product." I will go to army next january. So this sentences were so closer to my mind. I think we have to thanks to army that sacrifies instead of us like them.
