(Please share the information with Madam.)
1. The table-setting of each of the 60 different countries

Today’s humor:

Big Surprise
A third-grade teacher assigned the children to write a story titled “My Biggest Surprise.”
Not until the end of the school year did the parents of a girl see their daughter’s work. It read: “I got up this morning and I ran into my mom and dad’s bed room and hopped in. But it wasn’t mom at all - it was our neighbor Mrs. Baker!”
What her essay failed to say was that Mrs. Baker was called in late at night to stay with the children while her mom was taken to the hospital to have her fourth child.

NIS leaked security details in apparent attempt to distract from their illegal spying
Leak of info on N. Korean weapons transactions called a “Faustian bargain trafficking in confidential information for national security”
After previously blasting allegations that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) monitored civilians as “risking our own security,” the agency and ruling Saenuri Party (NFP) have leaked security details beneficial to themselves over the past few days. The opposition blasted the party on July 31 as “the real ones hurting security and breaking the law.”Lee Jong-kul, floor leader for the opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD), attacked the Saenuri Party over the leaks
Kim Moo-sung says he’s not yet qualified to be president
Kim Moo-sung said on July 30 that he does not yet see himself as “qualified to be a presidential contender.”The leader of the ruling Saenuri Party and early 2017 front-runner delivered the self-assessment during his visit to the US this week.“I asked them to take my name out, and I’m embarrassed that they didn’t,” Kim said when asked about opinion polls ranking him as the top prospect in the 2017 presidential elections during a meeting with South Korean correspondents in New York City. .
Photographs show Koreans toiling in wartime South Pacific
“Have you heard about the Korean prisoners of the South Pacific?”Photographs of Koreans drafted to work or serve in the military on South Pacific islands during the Japanese occupation were recently unearthed.

S. Korean firms get $5.4 billion in overseas construction projects
Five South Korean construction companies won large-scale projects in the Middle East totaling 6,287.6 trillion won, or around US$5.4 billion. The amount is the fifth largest in the history of overseas construction orders. Daewoo Engineering & Construction (E&C), Hyundai E&C, Hyundai Heavy Industries, SK E&C, and Hanwha E&C announced on July 31 that they had received letters of acceptance (LOA) on four packages with the Al Zour New Refinery Project (NRP) commissioned by the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) between January and March of this year. .
“Water strider robot” developed by a S. Korean research team
South Korean researchers have developed a “water strider robot” that uses the same principles as the insect to leap on water using surface tension. The research team of professors Kim Ho-young and Cho Kyu-jin from the Seoul National University department of mechanical and aerospace engineering announced on July 30 that it had “elucidated the hydrodynamics involved” when the water strider jumps on water using surface tension and “applied them to develop a bio-inspired impulsive mechanism,” or small robot. .
The NIS’s sloppiness shows really why it won’t disclose log files
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) is claiming a “threat to North Korea intelligence capabilities” as its reason for denying opposition and media demands to disclose log files and other information in response to allegations of civilian monitoring with a remote control system (RCS) hacking program. Its argument is that such a disclosure would reveal the nature and capacities of its activities, which are considered a state secret.
