He first filed for divorce

SOUTH Korean couples cannot end their marriage because one partner has refused to have sex with the other for years, according to a Supreme Court ruling released to local media today.

The case was brought by a husband, only identified by his family name Kim, who said his wife has never had sex with him.

They were married in 2005, went to live in the US and later returned to South Korea to live with Kim’s parents.

He first filed for divorce in 2007, saying the couple had never consummated the marriage.

The court ruled the couple could probably work out their problem if they really tried.

“Unless the defendant wishes to accept the decision for divorce, it is hard to acknowledge the marriage with the plaintiff has been broken beyond recovery,” the court said in a decision made available to media.

The court did allow for divorce in cases where physical ailments prevent sexual relations.

South Korean courts have been trying to slow down the divorce rate in the country for the past few years after the number of divorces had almost doubled in the decade starting in 1995 to post one of the highest rates in Asia.

Stranded overnight on an airport

The pilot of an airliner stranded overnight on an airport tarmac in Minnesota pleaded unsuccessfully for her 47 passengers to be allowed to get off and go inside a terminal. “We just need to work out some way to get them off … We can’t keep them here any longer,” she said.

The Transportation Department on Friday released recordings of the repeated appeals by the pilot and her airline’s dispatchers earlier this month while passengers were kept waiting for about six hours in the cramped plane amid crying babies and a smelly toilet before they were allowed to deplane.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said an investigation by his department found that ExpressJet, the regional carrier which operated Continental Express Flight 2816 for Continental Airlines, wasn’t at fault in the tarmac stranding.

Instead, blame for the incident, which has revived calls for greater consumer protections for airline passengers, belongs with Mesaba Airlines, whose representative declined to let the ExpressJet passengers deplane, LaHood said in a statement.

A Mesaba representative incorrectly told ExpressJet that the passengers couldn’t be allowed inside the terminal because Transportation Security Administration personnel had left for the day, LaHood said.

Actually, security regulations allow for deplaning passengers to be kept in a separate “sterile” area until they are ready to board, he said.

“We have determined that the Express Jet crew was not at fault. In fact, the flight crew repeatedly tried to get permission to deplane the passengers at the airport or obtain a bus for them,” LaHood said.

“There was a complete lack of common sense here,” the secretary added. “It’s no wonder the flying public is so angry and frustrated.”

Mesaba was the only airline with staff still at the airport that Friday night.

The plane left Houston at 9:23 p.m. local time on Aug. 7, but was diverted by thunderstorms to Rochester. Passengers were kept waiting on the tarmac only 50 yards from a terminal. In the morning, they were allowed to deplane. They spent about 2 1/2 hours inside the terminal before reboarding the same plane. They arrived in Minneapolis, their destination, after 11 a.m. CDT.

Mesaba is a subsidiary of Northwest Airlines, which is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. A Delta spokeswoman didn’t immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Continental Chairman and CEO Larry Kellner said in a statement that he was gratified the Transportation Department recognized the ExpressJet crew’s efforts to resolve the situation.

The department released audio tapes of the captain explaining the situation to an ExpressJet dispatcher, and dispatchers trying to persuade Mesaba officials to allow passengers inside. Passengers from an earlier flight diverted to Rochester had been allowed to deplane and were taken by bus to Minneapolis, about 85 miles away.

However, Mesaba officials said there were no more buses available.

“I can’t get her a bus, I can’t do anything,” said a Mesaba representative.

“You can’t do anything for her? OK,” asked the ExpressJet dispatcher.

“No.”

“Because she was saying nobody was letting her off the airplane, letting the people off the airplane and all that,” the dispatcher continued.

“We can’t — I mean we were just able to let these guys off. We can’t get them a bus. If I can’t secure them a bus, I can’t have them in a closed airport,” the Mesaba representative replied.

Link Christin, who was on the flight, said the incident was a clear example of why more safeguards are necessary for passengers.

“To me, the critical issue is not who’s to blame, but to figure out what happened and how it could be prevented in the future,” said Christin, a lecturer at William Mitchell College of Law.

More than a week afterward, Christin said he’s started to think about “the fact that so many variables were at play with 47, 48 people, two babies, and the variety of potential catastrophes that could have happened.”

“In reflection, I think it’s even a more serious matter than I perceived it to be when I was going through it,” he said.

FerroVer® Method

Iron exists in two states in solution-the ferrous and ferric forms. The iron test described here measures the soluble and
most precipitated forms of iron; both ferrous and ferric iron are detected.
Iron may be present in the water sample because it was present in the water supply, or it may be due to system
corrosion. Therefore, interpretation of iron results must address the factors of both scale and corrosion. For example,
iron deposits can form in a cooling system as the result of a scale problem (deposition of the natural iron in the water)
or a corrosion problem (wasting away of the metal surfaces). Thus, iron determinations can reveal information on
either deposition or corrosion taking place within a system.
SUMMARY OF METHOD
FerroVer® iron reagent reacts with all soluble iron and most insoluble forms of iron in the sample to produce soluble
ferrous iron. This reacts with the 1,10-phenanthroline indicator in the reagent to form an orange color in proportion to
the iron concentration. This method was adapted from Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, Federal Register, 45 (126), 433459 (June 27, 1980).
APPARATUS REQUIRED
Apparatus Betz Code
Cell, sample 25 mL, 2.5 cm (2 required) 2601
Clippers, large 2635
Cylinder, graduated, plastic, 25 mL 495
Flask, Erlenmeyer, glass, 50 mL 389
Pipet, plastic, 1 mL, graduated 371
Safety Bulb, rubber 1575
Spectrophotometer, DR 2000 2776
CHEMICALS REQUIRED
Chemical Betz Code
FerroVer® Iron Reagent Powder Pillow 2032
Iron, Standard Solution, 50 mg/L as Fe 523
RoVer® Rust Remover 2058
INTERFERENCES
The following will not interfere below the levels shown:
Chloride 185,000 mg/L
Calcium 10,000 mg/L as CaCO3
Magnesium 100,000 mg/L as CaCO3
A large excess of iron will inhibit color development. A diluted sample should be tested if there is any doubt about the
validity of a result.
FerroVer iron reagent powder pillows contain a masking agent that eliminates potential interference from copper.
Samples containing some forms of iron oxide require digestion in an acid and peroxide solution.
Samples containing large amounts of sulfide should be treated in a fume hood or well ventilated area as follows:
1. Add 5 mL of 50% hydrochloric acid (Betz Code 247) to 100 mL of sample and boil for 20 min.
2. Adjust the pH to between 2.5 and 5.0 with 5 N sodium hydroxide (Betz Code 2003).
3. Readjust the volume to 100 mL with deionized water.
4. Analyze as described below.
Highly buffered samples or extreme sample pH levels may exceed the buffering capacity of the reagent and require
sample pretreatment.
FerroVer iron reagent powder pillows are stable for up to 12 months, depending on storage and handling conditions. A
cool, dry atmosphere is recommended for long shelf life. To check the stability, add the contents of one powder pillow
to about 25 mL of water containing visual rust. If the characteristic orange color does not develop, the reagent has
deteriorated beyond use and should be discarded.
PROCEDURE FOR TEST
1. Using a graduated cylinder, transfer 25 mL of sample to an Erlenmeyer flask. Note: If the sample is turbid, add a
0.2 g scoop of RoVer® rust remover (Betz Code 2058) to 25 mL portions of the sample and blank, and wait 5 min.
Swirl to dissolve. Use the RoVer-containing blank to zero the instrument.
2. Add the contents of one FerroVer® iron reagent powder pillow and swirl to mix. An orange color will develop if iron
is present. Allow at least 3 min for the color to develop fully, but do not wait more than 30 min.
3. Turn on the spectrophotometer and set the wavelength at 510 nm.
4. Transfer a portion of unreacted sample to a clean sample cell. Place the cell in the spectrophotometer and set the
absorbance reading to zero.
5. Transfer the reacted sample (from step 2) to a clean sample cell, place it in the spectrophotometer, and read the
absorbance.
6. Use a previously prepared calibration curve to convert the absorbance reading to a concentration value.

London, United Kingdom Hotels, Vacations, Tourism

With a population of just under eight million, London is Europe’s largest city, spreading across an area of more than 620 square miles from its core on the River Thames. Ethnically it’s also Europe’s most diverse metropolis: around two hundred languages are spoken within its confines, and more than thirty percent of the population is made up of first-, second- and third-generation immigrants. Despite Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish devolution, London still dominates the national horizon, too: this is where the country’s news and money are made, it’s where the central government resides and, as far as its inhabitants are concerned, provincial life begins beyond the circuit of the city’s orbital motorway. Londoners’ sense of superiority causes enormous resentment in the regions, yet it’s undeniable that the capital has a unique aura of excitement and success – in most walks of British life, if you want to get on you’ve got to do it in London.
For the visitor, too, London is a thrilling place – and in the last few years, the city has been in a relatively buoyant mood. Thanks to the national lottery and the millennium-oriented funding frenzy, virtually every one of London’s world-class museums, galleries and institutions has been reinvented, from the Royal Opera House to the British Museum. In the Tate Modern and the London Eye, the city can now boast the world’s largest modern art gallery and Ferris wheel, and the first new bridge to cross the Thames for over a hundred years. Furthermore, following sixteen years of being the only major city in the world not to have its own governing body, London finally acquired its own elected assembly in 2000, along with a mayor who’s determined to try and solve one of London’s biggest problems: transport.
In the meantime, London’s traditional sights – Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London – continue to draw in millions of tourists every year. Monuments from the capital’s more glorious past are everywhere to be seen, from medieval banqueting halls and the great churches of Christopher Wren to the eclectic Victorian architecture of the triumphalist British Empire. There is also much enjoyment to be had from the city’s quiet Georgian squares, the narrow alleyways of the City of London, the riverside walks, and the quirks of what is still identifiably a collection of villages. And even London’s traffic problems are offset by surprisingly large expanses of greenery: Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park are all within a few minutes’ walk of the West End, while, further afield, you can enjoy the more expansive countryside of Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park.
You could spend days just shopping in London, too, mixing with the upper classes in the tiara triangle around Harrods, or sampling the offbeat weekend markets of Portobello Road, Camden and Greenwich. The music, clubbing and gay/lesbian scenes are second to none, and mainstream arts are no less exciting, with regular opportunities to catch brilliant theatre companies, dance troupes, exhibitions and opera. Restaurants, these days, are an attraction, too. London is now on a par with its European rivals, and offers a range from three-star Michelin establishments to low-cost, high-quality Chinese restaurants and Indian curry houses. Meanwhile, the city’s pubs have heaps of atmosphere, especially away from the centre – and an exploration of the farther-flung communities is essential to get the complete picture of this dynamic metropolis
