Romaniv said she notified Asiana Airlines of the blunder via social media "but (I) haven't gotten a response yet." The controversy has prompted angry responses on social media platform X "So now South Korean airlines are siding with Russia "It might be better to see that they're actually trying to fix this; otherwise Asiana Airlines was recently acquired by local industry leader Korean Air Lines Co The company has acknowledged the error in its in-flight map and said it has immediately requested the outside software developer to correct the issue The supplier of the in-flight infotainment system was known to be a unit of Japan's Panasonic Holdings Corp Ukraine has been engaged in war with Russia since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022 remains under Russian occupation but is internationally recognized as part of Ukrainian territory shows Asiana Airlines Inc.'s in-flight digital map labeling Dnipro (formerly Dnepropetrovsk) and Donetsk as Russian territory All News National Economy/Finance Biz Culture/K-pop Images Videos Korean Newspaper Headlines Korea in Brief Useful Links Weather Advertise with Yonhap News Agency "The Road of Life" is a memorial installation that symbolizes a deep and steady process of healing and rebirth The light installation is located on the site of the destroyed Romaniv bridge in Irpin after all the horrors of the first days of the Russian invasion the Expolight team used additional lighting techniques that draw attention not only to the tragedy of the Ukrainian people but also emphasize the life-affirming philosophy of the "Road of Life" project Expolight accentuates the elements of the place of memory and with narrow-beam isolated strokes reveals red threads that symbolize the suture on a fresh wound and the process of its healing The pulsating light dramatically emphasizes these red threads that connect the halves of the destroyed bridge It symbolizes that you can destroy concrete and metal The red threads in this installation symbolize the unshakable strength and spirit of the nation loss and destruction brought about by the war these threads managed to bind together what was destroyed and continue the journey forward but a deep and lasting process of healing and regeneration The threads demonstrate that even after the most severe trials a nation finds the strength to rebuild and reunite its torn parts This act of connection is a symbol of the desire for unity overcoming the past and moving towards the future The red color of the threads emphasizes the strength and vital energy that flows through them you can overcome even the most terrible consequences of war Each thread is an expression of the strength of spirit and unity of the nation This installation not only commemorates the loss but also inspires further recovery and development demonstrating that in unity and joint efforts there is an unlimited power for recovery and growth The Romaniv bridge is part of the large project "Kyivshchyna which will allow everyone to witness the tragic events that unfolded in the Kyiv region in the spring of 2022 You can see more details at site Light, theatrical effects and human concepts: what should be the memorial monuments that will replace the Soviet "blocks"?

hello@pragmatika.media https://pragmatika.media citizens pledged allegiance to the flag for the first time Tuesday Genesee Country Village & Museum welcomed 47 new citizens for its annual Fourth of July naturalization ceremony New citizens from as near as Canada and as far as Ukraine received their certificates of naturalization alongside friends and family "I was kind of always dragging my feet to be actually become a citizen I was always saying that you have to be ready for it It wasn’t just not for the paperwork actually The Romanivs have been on their citizenship journey for more than a decade in Rochester but their connection to Ukraine remains strong amid the ongoing war “I have friends who are currently in the war right now," Zoreslav said "We're still related to it even though we’re so far away.” It took Monika Gajdek more than 10 years to earn her U.S to play tennis for college and I just went back home to Poland thinking I will not come again," Gajdek said "I applied with my best friend in college just hoping it will come one day.” After coming to Rochester for a medical residency along with her husband and their three kids she's excited to be a part of the area's newest cohort of citizens “I feel I belong here and it’s finally official," Gajdek said It’s just it’s another level of me living here.” I arrived in Japan for a one-semester Japanese language program It was my first time ever traveling abroad It was also the first time I learned that most Japanese people know very little about my home country When I would introduce myself as a Ukrainian there were many Japanese people that would despite the fact that I had never even been to Russia Ukrainian history and art were either mistakenly attributed to Russia or completely unknown As I found myself repeatedly explaining to people that Ukraine is not Russia I wondered how these flawed views came to be in the first place has often been viewed in Japan as a country entirely within Russia’s sphere of influence One reason for this is that Japan has largely learned about Ukraine through information disseminated by Imperial Russia has historically suppressed Ukraine’s voice while positioning itself as the sole spokesperson for the country Russian narratives then made their way into publications and became widely reflected in media I was again confronted with the reality of how dangerous Russia’s distorted history and propaganda about Ukraine can be Russia occupied Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and later seized part of the Donbas region in the east of our country While the Japanese government criticized Russia and imposed economic sanctions the Japanese media at the time failed to sufficiently analyze information coming from Ukraine and instead unquestioningly accepted the information coming from Russia Russian fake narratives—such as that Crimea is historically Russian that Ukrainians and Russians are “family nations,” and that Russian speakers in Ukraine are Russian—were often broadcast without scrutiny and Japanese people began to forget about the prolonged war between Ukraine and Russia Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine The Japanese government immediately expressed its support for Ukraine and explicitly condemned Russia for attempting to unilaterally alter the status quo through force I still clearly recall how powerfully symbolic Prime Minister Kishida Fumio’s words were in showing support for Ukraine in February 2023 when he said “Today’s Ukraine may be tomorrow’s East Asia.” The Japanese media’s reporting was significantly different this time perhaps because of their lessons learned in the years since 2014 They brought attention to Russia’s war crimes and Ukraine’s humanitarian crisis with real-time reporting from the ground and even featured insights from a few Japanese scholars specializing in Ukraine I was receiving an unprecedented number of translation requests from various Japanese media companies I was deeply involved in television news and program production almost daily These programs covered not only the situation in Ukraine but also historical and cultural interpretations the harsh measures Russia had imposed on Ukraine (such as the history of the prohibition of the Ukrainian language) and a wide range of other topics The contrast with the coverage a decade earlier was striking A sign thanking Japan for its support of Ukraine in Shinjuku One of the most symbolic changes was the decision by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to switch from using the Russian name Kiev (transcribed as キエフ in Japanese) for Ukraine’s capital to the Ukrainian Kyiv (キーウ) with other geographical names also updated from Russian to Ukrainian: Odessa (オデッサ) became Odesa (オデーサ) Chernobyl (チェルノブイリ) became Chornobyl (チョルノービリ) I was genuinely happy to witness this shift and in that moment I truly felt that Japan’s view of Ukraine had transformed Ukraine went from a country they knew little about to one that they were familiar with I have lived in Japan since 2012 and currently teach at a university Ukrainian studies were almost nonexistent in Japanese academia Even in educational institutions specializing in Eastern and Central European studies matters on Ukraine were largely viewed through a Russian lens and were not considered from a global perspective among the approximately 800 universities in Japan there were only a handful of universities that had introduced the Ukrainian language as a subject prior to 2022 one must first learn to read and write in its language understanding its history and social realities is difficult spreading Ukraine’s history and language will foster a more accurate perception of the country; even more it will strengthen international cooperation in resisting Russia’s ambitions to reshape the global order I’ve become increasingly convinced of this How could I sustain and increase people’s interest in Ukraine The answer began to take shape through an open lecture I started giving at the university where I’m employed called “History and Culture of Ukraine.” I’ve given this lecture annually since 2022 I finally feel that a time has come where Ukrainians are able tell their own story The author presents a lecture on Ukrainian history and culture at Ibaraki Christian University in October 2023 The author’s Nihon ga shiranai Ukuraina (Ukraine Unknown to Japan) is now in Japanese readers’ hands I once asked a 70-year old woman who attended why she was interested in the course “I started helping the people of Ukraine but I didn’t know much about their land I ought to understand it.” Her simple words moved me deeply and reassured me that steady progress was being made Another promising development is the increasing number of publications on Ukraine and numerous other translations across various genres This trend is greatly contributing to a real understanding of Ukrainian identity interactions between Ukrainian and Japanese people have steadily deepened there are about 4,000 Ukrainians living in Japan with half having evacuated with the support of the Japanese government These Ukrainians are participating in international exchange events held across Japan and organizing exhibits and gatherings to support Ukraine One notable example is Stand with Ukraine Japan (SWU Japan) a group founded mainly by Ukrainians living here They gather twice a month in Tokyo with the support of Japanese allies Participants gather to hold peace demonstrations carrying antiwar placards and Ukrainian flags A woman carries a Ukrainian flag in support of the country at a well-attended November 2024 event in Shinjuku Another important group is the NPO Kraiany which has the longest history among groups promoting exchange between Japanese and Ukrainian people hosted an event which I attended and that drew many Japanese visitors said: “Ukrainians teach me about their history and culture our interaction is deepening.” Such dedicated efforts are undoubtedly bearing fruit The Japanese perception of Ukraine is gradually evolving to one of a nation fighting for its freedom and independence The process of knowing and understanding a country takes time but we must remember that relations between countries always begins from personal connections I would like to express my sincere gratitude as a Ukrainian to the people of Japan Banner photo: Members of the group Stand with Ukraine Japan attend an event to support the country in Shinjuku Experts share their advice for getting rid of complex stains We have covered stain removal earlier in this series as it’s based on readers’ requests for specific a laundry expert from the consultancy group LTC Worldwide recommends testing garments for colourfastness before you attempt any stain removal He says to pick an area of the garment that can’t be seen Apply whatever stain removal technique you were going to attempt with a white cloth and see if any colour transfers he says to “give it to a professional cleaner to remove the stain” you’ll remember that different fabrics react to stains in different ways and so when dealing with a spill it’s important to check the fabric composition of your garment and the composition of the stain She warns that ink stains can spread when they get wet, so it’s important to place something absorbent underneath the garment and dab the marks with a small amount of alcohol applied to a white cloth. Anderton adds that you should surround the stain “with a small circle of glycerine to form a protective barrier around (but not over) the stain”. This should contain the stain and can be blotted off afterwards. Anderton suggests using a product specifically designed to remove ink stains. These can be purchased at most supermarkets, but he warns to “follow the directions carefully”. According to Anderton, the reason turmeric is so difficult to remove is because the tiny powder particles are slightly oily, so they tend to penetrate fabric. “This prevents simple, water-based stain removers for natural dyes getting to the root of the discolouration,” he says. Instead, start by blotting (not rubbing) the stain using a clean, white cloth to remove any excess and contain the spread. Then he says to make a concoction of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one tablespoon of washing-up liquid and stir. Add one teaspoonful of a good-quality colour detergent and stir quickly. While the mixture is still frothing, cover the stain with it and use the back of a spoon to ensure the mixture fully penetrates the fabric and stain. Leave it like this for half an hour, then rinse thoroughly in clean, cold water. Hopefully, the stain will be flushed away, but if there is any stain shadow remaining, he says to “apply a little bleaching powder” – preferably one that contains sodium percarbonate – “as a thin paste”. Leave it for five to 10 minutes and then flush it off. Anderton says black grease stains tend to be made up of tiny dark particles in the mineral oil or grease. So the key to removing these stains is to remove the grease and the dark particles simultaneously. If the grease is stripped out first, you risk the dark particles becoming locked in the yarns of the material. Once this happens they can be impossible to remove. “You need a mixture of strong organic solvents (to dissolve the grease), a powerful liquid detergent (to lubricate and aid grease removal) and some suspending agent (to wrap around the particles and carry them safely away),” he says. Anderton suggests using a specific grease stain remover.
