Why is it dangerous?

Alstom to supply Tel Aviv Red Line signalling
http://www.metro-report.com/news/single-view/view/alstom-to-supply-tel-aviv-red-line-signalling.html

On the day after I took up China's Hawaii, I'd like to take up Israel's Hawaii, Tel Aviv. For people who lives in countries far away from Israel, the nation itself seems to be dangerous, because suicide attacks or bombing from air have usually reported from Israel and its neighboring countries.
But, Tel Aviv has kept peace and also has been famous as resorts in Israel.

Owing to its development, LRT Red line is under construction by 2021. And 2 more lines will begin construction within a year.

Why don't you visit China's Dubai, former China's Hawaii?

Hainan: Is this where Hawaii meets Dubai?
http://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/hainan-china-tourists-hawaii-dubai/index.html

Though Hainan is often treated as Hawaii of China, I've never heard that my acquaintance went on a trip to Hainan for the purpose of staying along beach.
Hainan doesn't seem to be famous at least in Japan.
So, it's reasonable plan to modify Hainan like Dubai to make Hainan much more famous. Luxurious facilities would lure attention of Japan's mass media.

Why don't you use smartphone as a medical tool?

New LG smartphone keeps mosquitoes away
http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/28/technology/smartphone-mosquito-lg-k7i/index.html

More and more functions have been embedded in smartphones.
When portable phone was invented, its function was just making a phone call.
But, after that, E-mail, SMS, camera, Music&Video player, Internet access, and so on・・・were added to the phone.
At this time, the new smartphone will add the device to keep mosquitoes away.
Considering that South East Asia and South Asia are developing as attractive markets, and they are also bothered with disease by mosquitoes, it is suitable for market demands.

What we have to concern is only if it's effective or not.

Why can we skip homeworks?

Are these the schools of the future?
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/27/health/future-schools/index.html

Education systems are being sophisticated at a rapid pace. The up-to-date machines like 3D Printer or other electronic gadgets will help students understand more smoothly.
But, one thing I can't agree with is omitting homeworks.

In order to input something eternally, we have to learn it repeatedly. It's the law of our brain system evidenced by academic researches.

If they invented a way to cover homeworks' effects, I'd like to know that.

en.people.cn

Though total population of Lanzhou is just less than 4 millions, there seems to be 4 high speed lines departing from Lanzhou.
・Baoji–Lanzhou High-Speed Railway(Opened in July 9, 2017)
・Lanzhou–Xinjiang High-Speed Railway(Opened in December 2014)
・Lanzhou–Zhongchuan Airport Intercity Railway(Opened in September 30, 2015)
・Lanzhou-Chongqing High-Speed railway(Opened today)

China Western Development seems to be in good pace.

Why don't you report North Korea?

North Korea: Playing football in one of the world's most secretive states
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/26/football/erik-paartalu-playing-football-in-north-korea/index.html

I would like to know how his life is. If I travel in North Korea, there must be a guiding personnel to monitor my behavior.
Then, Paartalu, the soccer player in North Korea, also has a guiding personnel, everytime he goes outside his house?
Otherwise he is able to travel all over North Korea?
If it's possible, I would like him to report all the railway lines in North Korea.

Why are they independent from Spain?

Catalan referendum, explained: What's behind the push to break from Spain?
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/27/europe/catalan-referendum-explained/index.html

In addition to economic difference, Cultural difference, especially linguistic difference, may boost motivation toward Independence. Similar case can be seen elsewhere in the world.
Though independence from a neighboring country will result in a lot of changes on social systems, I doubt it also happens in Catalan area. I think there would be no barrier between Catalona and Spain, because Spain is a member of EU and Catalan nation will also be.
