...scientist, urging, "Behind the Army First Flag, Forward March!" The backgrounds of posters like this typically feature icons of North Korean modernity-missiles, smokestacks, construction sites, dams, electricity towers, desktop computers and walkie-talkies, which seem to possess the kind of cutting-edge cachet that could only exist in a country where almost no one owns a cell phone...
...Details of the decision have not been released, but SIPO says Pfizer's patent was rescinded on the grounds that its description of the drug was insufficient to meet the standards of Chinese law.

In the isolation that often comes in an advancing world, a desire for something more than a friendship occurs. A clanship forces you to belong, as it presents you with a role to add to your inner resume.
