Springhill Group Home Care
In a fast phase world like ours, finding time for fun and leisure is hard and finding time for family is harder. Sometimes we are left with no choice. We are forced to leave our elderly family members in a nursing home or more popular as home for the aged.
There is always two sides in a story, leaving elderly family member in a caring home has advantages and disadvantages. Number of senior citizens suddenly seemed to multiply since 1950’s. In 1900 the average life expectancy was forty-five, by 1950 the average life span was almost seventy years; the population has doubled but the number of people 65 and over had quadrupled to become 8% of the total. In 1950’s more and more population of “retirees” are supposed to get their pensions.
Due to this case, extended families are seemed to be an obligation, where elderly had to stay with their sons, daughters or grandchildren.
People then began wondering how to accommodate this burden. They started taking about nursing homes, retirement houses, or apartments where they can leave their elderly. Golden years are supposed to have a positive connotation but now the phrase developed into a different meaning. Instead of the “golden years” being now, I a one’s old age golden refer to the good old days.
Studies showed that people in developed countries are not only living longer, but also remain healthy for much of their lives, unlike in less developed countries, where the elderly tend to be plagued with serious illnesses. Causing them to live longer which means government has to support them because they are already retirees. In order to support them, one must work and working means no one to take care of the elderly.
Elderly has a special healthcare although facilities like home for the aged are designed to take care of them they are often lacking human resources and other needs of these retirees.
A sad truth is some facilities have no mercy on their patients. Sometimes they over medicate them and let them lay in their beds for hours and even days. They lack people to attend to the elderly so they had to choose over feeding them and bathing them. They feed them and who knows how and what, and then they will let them stay in soiled clothes and beds. Those were just samples. But not every home is like that, there are homes where they will take care of the elderly and makes sure that they are well feed and well medicated.
If you are thinking of taking your elderly family member to homes, you must weigh things and consider possibilities and other options first.
Sometimes it will work for you and your dad for example but sometimes it is better if you’d get help and pay assistance from private nurses. Whatever your decision is, you must remember that they once took care of us and had been very patient to us when we were younger; it is time to pay them back. Your son or daughter will do the same for you in the future.

NKorean Fishing boats said to violate sea boundary - Springhill Group Korea - Taringa!
http://www.taringa.net/posts/noticias/15617927/NKorean-embarcaciones-pesqueras-dijeron-a-violar-fronteras.html
North Korean fishing boats crossed the Koreas’ tense western sea boundary and retreated soon after being warned Wednesday in the second such violation this year, South Korea said. No fighting erupted though the border is one the North has long refused to recognize.
A North Korean government boat briefly crossed the boundary while trying to guide the seven fishing boats back to North Korean-controlled waters, a South Korean Defense Ministry official said on condition of anonymity, citing office rules.
Later Wednesday, seven North Korean boats again violated the boundary, but they all sailed back after a warning was broadcast, the official said. It wasn’t clear whether they were the same seven boats that earlier crossed. Seoul says North Korean fishing boats last crossed in April. The disputed sea boundary is not clearly marked, and incursions by North Korean military and fishing boats are not unusual. Violence often erupts in the seafood-rich waters, and three naval clashes since 1999 have taken a few dozen lives.
After the Korean War ended nearly 60 years ago with a truce, not with a peace treaty, the U.S.-led U.N. Command divided the Yellow Sea without Pyongyang’s consent. The boundary cut North Korea off from rich fishing waters, and Pyongyang has contested the line ever since. North Korea shelled a front-line South Korean island near the boundary in November 2010, killing four people. Earlier in 2010, an explosion ripped apart a South Korean warship in the area, killing 46 sailors. Seoul said Pyongyang torpedoed the vessel. North Korea denies responsibility.

Businesses Focus on Region's Aging Population
http://springcaregroup.blogspot.com/2012/09/businesses-focus-on-regions-aging.html
Using a moisture sensor, a wireless system and a mobile phone, Kevin Wong, the chief executive of Ckicom Technology Ltd, explains how this new technology can alert caregivers when they should change the diapers of elderly people in nursing homes.
As the rapid aging of Asia's population creates challenges for governments and societies, new opportunities are emerging for businesses serving the needs of the elderly and their caretakers.
While population aging is a global phenomenon, the Asian-Pacific region is expected to see a particularly drastic demographic change over the next few decades. The number of elderly persons in the region—already home to more than half of the world's population aged 60 and over—is expected to triple to more than 1.2 billion by 2050, when one in four people in the region will be over 60 years old, according to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
Across Asia, large corporations and entrepreneurs in various industries are racing to come up with new products and services for the elderly, while health-care-related businesses are seeing soaring demand. Among various fields of health care for the elderly, nursing homes represent one of the fastest-growing sectors.
In Japan, companies that previously had little to do with the issue of aging have jumped on the bandwagon. In 2005, Watami Co., which operates Japanese-style izakaya pubs serving food and drinks, entered a new business of running nursing homes. In the most recent fiscal year, the nursing business was more profitable than its izakaya business. Demand for Watami's new business is robust because Japan's population is the world's grayest, according to a 2009 United Nation report, with nearly 30% aged 60 or older.
Other parts of Asia, such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore, are also anticipating a surge in the percentage of elderly citizens. In China, people over the age of 60 now account for 13.3% of the country's population of 1.34 billion, up from 10.3% in 2000, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, and the aging trend is expected to accelerate.
In January, China's state-run Xinhua news agency wrote about challenges facing nursing homes, saying "there are simply not enough nurses or beds to accommodate the country's elderly population."
In March, Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said at a forum in Beijing that the country needs to take more steps to cope with a rapidly aging population in the years ahead.
Despite varying levels of infrastructure and support from governments, the global market for nursing and health-care services continues to expand, and expectations are rising for businesses that might meet the growing demand.
Last month, IHH Healthcare Bhd., Asia's largest hospital operator by market value, staged a strong trading debut in Malaysia and Singapore, after raising US$2 billion in its initial public offering, the world's third-largest IPO this year.
Analysts said that population aging in Asia and the rest of the world makes IHH a good long-term investment.
Given the opportunities in the market for hospitals and nursing homes, some technology entrepreneurs are focusing on products and services they could sell to health-care institutions.
Kevin Wong, an engineer from Guangzhou, China, has developed a new product that he thinks will appeal to nursing homes and hospitals. His Hong-Kong based start-up, Ckicom Technology Ltd., sells a disposable adult diaper equipped with a moisture sensor and a wireless system that sends wetness alerts to nursing-home workers via personal computers and mobile phones.
A small clip-on sensor device attached to the diaper detects moisture through special carbon ink prints on the diaper's inner surface and sends the information wirelessly to PCs and mobile phones. The clip-on device isn't disposable.
Each disposable diaper costs US$1.20 or less, and nursing homes also need to purchase or lease the wireless system including the clip-on devices. For a nursing home with 100 beds, for example, the system would likely cost US$5,000 to US$10,000, the company said.
Ckicom's CAREase diaper, one of the 12 finalists competing for The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards, can detect wetness at three different levels, eliminating the need for workers to repeatedly check residents' diapers just to see whether they need to be replaced. "It helps nursing homes upgrade their services," Mr. Wong said.
Mr. Wong, 50 years old, came up with the idea of a wetness-sensing diaper for babies more than 30 years ago, during a classroom discussion at the South China Institute of Technology. He never pursued that idea and instead worked for much of the past three decades at a company that develops consumer-electronics products.
Five years ago, one of his college classmates, who lived in the U.S., called Mr. Wong and reminded him of the moisture-sensing diaper idea, which Mr. Wong himself had forgotten about. The friend said that nursing homes for the elderly would want such a diaper.
After conducting research for almost a year, Mr. Wong quit his job and started Ckicom in 2008 to develop the diaper in a project partially funded by the Hong Kong government.
The challenge was to create a comfortable diaper that can accurately determine wetness levels, while keeping the cost reasonable, Mr. Wong said.
The potential market is growing, as Hong Kong expects the percentage of its population aged 65 and over to increase to 26% in 2036 from 12% in 2006, according to the Census and Statistics Department.
Five nursing homes in Hong Kong are now testing the CAREase diaper, while the company's Taiwanese distribution agent has recently received orders for 100,000 diapers.
Ckicom also has set up an office in Tokyo.
The closely held company forecasts revenue of about US$1 million in the current fiscal year through March.
While Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan are its main markets for now, the company wants eventually to expand into the U.S. and Europe as well as mainland China, Mr. Wong said.

A bonus is that Yahoo’s spam blocker is better than those from most ISP’s! And your main personal email address won’t be as clogged with spam. Some ISP’s like AOL and BellSouth.net give you multiple email accounts free with your paid service.
9. Do not give any financial information

So when you are on the situation of asking somebody your financial account which reason is pleasing to the ear such as they are just to check your account and credit card number, specifically you social security number on the phone or online, unless you initiate the call and you know the organization you’re dealing with.

16. Make use of a good anti-virus software anti-adware software and a hardware firewall on your computer, and keep them up to date. You need all three. Almost all modern Routers (Dlink, LinkSys, NetGear, Buffalo, Airlink, etc.) have a hardware firewall built in. See the left side of this page for the current recommendation for ant-virus / anti-malware programs.
17. Don’t make an outgoing mail in your mailbox
Drop it into a secure, official Postal Service collection box. Thieves may use your mail to steal your identity.
18. Report to the company immediately, if regular bills fail to reach you.

19. If your bills include suspicious charges, do not ignore it.
Instead, investigate immediately to head off any possible fraud before it occurs.
20. Check your credit report every day.
Federal laws enable you to acquire one form credit report from each of the 3 major credit reporting agencies per year.
21. Prefer to use disposable addresses
There are services online; some are free like SneakMail that provides you disposable addresses that can be deleted if they begin to receive spam messages. The disposable email addresses forwards email to a real email address of yours, but the sender cannot see this. If you create a unique address for each email newsletter or forum you subscribe to you can get rid of the address is it gets too much spam and just start using another email address.
22. Stop purchasing a product or render any services to any company that sends you spam.
Do not even visit their sites or ask for more information. Always bare in mind that, since they send out millions of spam emails, they only need a tiny fraction of responses to be profitable. And if that doesn’t convince you, consider this: the vast majority of spam “offers” are in fact scams.
23. Filter your email program
Outlook does this quite easily. When you open an email and realize that it is spam, just click on Actions then Create Rule, then select an appropriate action, such as “from” then click “Move e-mail to folder” and select the “Deleted Items” folder. That’s it! You’ll never receive email from that particular address or subject again.
Do not post your address in HTML format
Otherwise you will be spammed, since address-harvesting spiders (programs) extract your email address from the website and add it to the spammer’s lists. Instead use feedback forms through PHP, ASP, or JSP that hide the email address, OR post the email address as a GIF (image file).
2. Do not get so exited
If someone emailed you or sends you message or acknowledgement that you win from lottery or any raffles from a “randomly selected from a database of email addresses.”Lastly, Multi-level marketing is a scam.

This is to hands off scammers from opening unauthorized accounts in your name or identity. Even if your state is one of the few that does not allow freeze, you can still freeze your files at some of the leading major credit bureaus out there.
4. Make a Do-not-Call List
5. Make a statement to block credit card offers
6. Always put your Social Security card in a safe place
When you renew your driver’s license, make sure the DMV does not use your Social Security number as your driver’s license number.
7. Make use of a different email addresses
8. Use a separate email address
This is when you post messages to any public forum, such as newsgroups and mailing lists. Make an email account for such private conversation purposes and for another for your public identity to put a stop to this growing identity theft. Never use your personal email address in public because you might receive a number of different spams. You can periodically check this email account to see what spam is and what isn’t. A bonus is that Yahoo’s spam blocker is better than those from most ISP’s! And your main personal email address won’t be as clogged with spam. Some ISP’s like AOL and BellSouth.net give you multiple email accounts free with your paid service.
9. Do not give any financial information
Your money in the bank is the major goal of scammers. So when you are on the situation of asking somebody your financial account which reason is pleasing to the ear such as they are just to check your account and credit card number, specifically you social security number on the phone or online, unless you initiate the call and you know the organization you’re dealing with.
10. Do not put an interest into such “win a vacation”
Do not fill out the “win a vacation” and other promotions you see in stores and shopping malls. Upon writing or entertaining it can give you junk mailing list and guarantee calls from persistent, high-pressure salesmen.
11. Do not make an advance copy of your driver’s license, telephone, or social security numbers on your checks.
12. Report lost or stolen checks right away.
The bank can block payment on the check numbers that are missing. Also, review new checks you receive, to make sure none has been stolen in transit.
13. Store new and cancelled checks, credit card statements, medical bills, anything with confidential information, in a safe place and cut or burn them when you are done with them.
14. Secure your Personal Identification Numbers of Pin Numbers for your ATM and credit cards, and do not write on anything or keep your pins with your cards. You should also secure your ATM card and credit card receipts, for thieves might use it to have access on your accounts.
15. Use different cases in selecting Personal Identification Numbers for your ATM and credit cards, and passwords that allow you to access other accounts. Do not use birth dates, a part your Social Security number or driver’s license number, address, nor children’s or spouse names.
16. Make use of a good anti-virus software anti-adware software and a hardware firewall on your computer, and keep them up to date. You need all three. Almost all modern Routers (Dlink, LinkSys, NetGear, Buffalo, Airlink, etc.) have a hardware firewall built in. See the left side of this page for the current recommendation for ant-virus / anti-malware programs.
17. Don’t make an outgoing mail in your mailbox
Drop it into a secure, official Postal Service collection box. Thieves may use your mail to steal your identity.
18. Report to the company immediately, if regular bills fail to reach you.
Someone might give a false record of you and your family to divert your information to his or her address.
19. If your bills include suspicious charges, do not ignore it.
Instead, investigate immediately to head off any possible fraud before it occurs.
20. Check your credit report every day.
Federal laws enable you to acquire one form credit report from each of the 3 major credit reporting agencies per year.
21. Prefer to use disposable addresses
There are services online; some are free like SneakMail that provides you disposable addresses that can be deleted if they begin to receive spam messages. The disposable email addresses forwards email to a real email address of yours, but the sender cannot see this. If you create a unique address for each email newsletter or forum you subscribe to you can get rid of the address is it gets too much spam and just start using another email address.
22. Stop purchasing a product or render any services to any company that sends you spam.
Do not even visit their sites or ask for more information. Always bare in mind that, since they send out millions of spam emails, they only need a tiny fraction of responses to be profitable. And if that doesn’t convince you, consider this: the vast majority of spam “offers” are in fact scams.
23. Filter your email program
Outlook does this quite easily. When you open an email and realize that it is spam, just click on Actions then Create Rule, then select an appropriate action, such as “from” then click “Move e-mail to folder” and select the “Deleted Items” folder. That’s it! You’ll never receive email from that particular address or subject again.
Do not post your address in HTML format
Otherwise you will be spammed, since address-harvesting spiders (programs) extract your email address from the website and add it to the spammer’s lists. Instead use feedback forms through PHP, ASP, or JSP that hide the email address, OR post the email address as a GIF (image file).
2. Do not get so exited
If someone emailed you or sends you message or acknowledgement that you win from lottery or any raffles from a “randomly selected from a database of email addresses.”Lastly, Multi-level marketing is a scam.

SEOUL (AFP) - South Korean police said on Tuesday they were investigating 27 North Korean refugees for swindling private insurance firms out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in bogus medical claims.Police said the refugees faked illness in collusion with hospitals to claim a total of 1.04 billion won (S$1.16 million) from insurance firms between 2007 and 2010.While listed as hospitalised, they frequented saunas, restaurants and even nightclubs. The scam also involved a 71-year-old doctor and five hospital employees who conspired with the refugees to claim a separate 104 million won from the state health insurance agency, police said.Police are also investigating two brokers on suspicion of helping the refugees send some of the proceeds to relatives in the North.

Abstract:
This essay considers how the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Skilling v. United States, which limited the situations in which mail and wire fraud cases may be premised on violations of the “intangible right to honest services,” has the potential to alter the future of health care fraud litigation. While Skilling is widely perceived to have closed the door to several types of common mail and wire fraud prosecutions, this may not turn out to be the case in health care. In health care, the renewed focus on kickbacks as evidence of an honest services breach instead may dovetail nicely with both the Obama Administration’s emphasis on criminal health care fraud enforcement and the jurisprudence of the Medicare & Medicaid Anti-Kickback Statute. This kind of leverage may prove very difficult for prosecutors to resist, and most certainly will require changes in the way the health law bar approaches common Anti-Kickback concerns.

Hollywood, Miramar and Sunrise

HHS Secretary and Attorney General host seventh Regional Health Care Fraud Prevention Summit in Chicago (April 4, 2012)--At a Chicago summit highlighting a new high-tech war against health care fraud, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Attorney General Eric Holder today discussed how the Affordable Care Act and the Obama administration’s Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) are helping fight Medicare fraud. The Chicago summit is the seventh regional health care fraud prevention summit hosted by the Department of Justice and HHS.
The regional summits bring together a wide array of public and private partners, and are part of the HEAT partnership between HHS and the Department of Justice to prevent and combat health care fraud. The Obama administration’s HEAT efforts have resulted in record-breaking health care fraud recoveries. In fiscal year 2011, for the second year in a row, the departments’ anti-fraud activities resulted in more than $4 billion in recoveries, an all-time high.
“We have a simple message to criminals thinking about committing Medicare fraud: don’t even try,” said Secretary Sebelius. “Thanks to health reform and our administration’s work, we have new tools and resources to catch criminals and stop Medicare fraud before it happens.”
“This Administration continues to move aggressively in protecting patients and consumers and bringing health care fraud criminals to justice,” said Attorney General Holder. “Through HEAT, we have achieved unprecedented, record-breaking successes in combating health care fraud and as a result of the Affordable Care Act, we have additional critical resources, tools and authorities to continue this great success.”
New tools provided by the Affordable Care Act are strengthening the Obama administration’s efforts to fight health care fraud. As a result of Affordable Care Act provisions:
- Criminals face tougher sentences for health care fraud, 20-50 percent longer for crimes that involve more than $1 million in losses;
- Contractors that police Medicare for waste, fraud, and abuse will expand their work to Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Part D programs;
- Government entities, including states, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and law enforcement partners at the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and DOJ, have greater abilities to work together and share information so that CMS can prevent money from going to bad actors by using its authority to suspend payments to providers and suppliers engaged in suspected fraudulent activity.
Increased collaboration has yielded significant results through the HEAT partnership. Since the creation of HEAT in 2009, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force operations have expanded from two to nine locations throughout the United States, including Chicago. Strike Force operations expanded to Chicago in February 2011 and since that time, charges have been filed against more than 35 defendants in the Northern District of Illinois for offenses related to health care fraud. Overall, in fiscal year 2011, strike force operations in nine locations charged a total of more than 320 defendants for allegedly billing more than $1 billion in false claims.
In February, as a result of HEAT and strike force actions, a Dallas-area physician and the office manager of his medical practice, along with five owners of home health agencies, were arrested on charges related to their alleged participation in a nearly $375 million health care scheme involving fraudulent claims for home health services. In conjunction with this action, CMS imposed payment suspensions against 78 home health agencies in the Dallas area.
Medicare Fraud in Florida
http://www.homehealthcareagencies.com/blog/general/medicare-fraud-florida/
It was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who once said ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ Unfortunately, there are many people in our society that neglect their responsibility and abuse their power. Those who commit fraud against people who are disabled are especially heinous.
Recently, the state of Florida has had to deal with an overwhelming amount of Medicare fraud. The estimated cost of the most recently interrupted scheme of illegal billings is around $200 million dollars, and it was perpetrated by at least ten different offenders. So far, they have all either pled guilty or been convicted of crimes ranging from money laundering to conspiracy to commit health care fraud. There were several different companies involved in the scheme, which involved falsifying records and intentional misreporting of facts to Medicare.
Essentially what these criminals were doing was incorrectly reporting that some patients qualified for home health care when, in fact, they did not. Once these falsified certifications were sent to Medicare, the defendants would then bill Medicare for services that were not only unnecessary, but we usually not even provided.
The scheme went even further into the health care industry when perpetrators began contacting legitimate medical facilities and providers and offered them compensation for help in falsifying documents. These providers, which even included some doctors, would receive kick-backs for giving personal information to the defendants.
So far, ten people have been convicted of Medicare fraud as a result of this scheme in the last year. Those convicted of money laundering crimes have been sentenced or will be given sentences of at least three years in prison. Those convicted of more serious crimes will receive stiffer sentences. All of those sentenced and facing sentencing will be responsible for repaying the money that they essentially stole from the state. Any personnel working as care givers will also have their state certifications revoked and will no longer be allowed to practice once they have served their sentences.
Florida has vowed to arrest and punish all of those responsible for defrauding the state of its tax dollars. With every state in the union in a financial crunch, those dollars are needed now more than ever. Florida has made press statements recently that it has recovered over $125 million in fraudulent Medicare claims in the last year, and is making promises to recover as much as it possibly can in the next.

FUNNY OR DIE - Tagged Springhill Care Group on Tumblr
http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/b22460f873/tagged-springhill-care-group-on-tumblr
The decision of US to let the blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng return into China’s fold following his escape from authorities is straining ties between the two countries as diplomatic dialogues opened in Beijing.
The 40-year old Chen who is now considered a dissident became an international human rights inspiration to many Chinese after earning the ire of the local government for exposing forced abortions in line with the country’s one-child policy. The self-taught lawyer took to the US embassy after his escape, apparently to ask for help but was eventually ushered into the Beijing Hospital.
According to a senior official’s statement to Springhill Care Group, Chen has indeed went into the embassy that day and has requested for medical treatment for his injured foot. American medical personnel have then conducted medical tests and made appropriate treatment during the time he was there.
Immediately after the incident, the Chinese government has expressed its disapproval about the entire affair, demanding an apology from the US for taking Chen in.
“What the U.S. side should do now is neither to continue misleading the public and making every excuse to shift responsibility and conceal its wrongdoing, nor to interfere in the domestic affairs of China,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin.
This incident came just when the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is visiting Beijing in a meeting with Chinese officials on security and trade talks. And although no one mentioned Chen’s name, it is evident in their statements that the incident is on the spotlight as the 2 nations struggle to maintain common ground.
Clinton said in her opening statement, “The United States believes that no state can legitimately deny the universal rights that belong to every human being – or punish those who exercise them. A China that protects the rights of all its citizens will be a stronger, more prosperous partner for the United States.”
Dai Bingguo issued a rebuttal on behalf of China, saying, “I wish to point out in particular the fundamental way to manage state-to-state relations is to abide by the basic norms of international relations, namely to respect China’s sovereignty, core interests and choice of social system.”
Meanwhile, Chinese President Hu Jintao made his point known in his opening speech during the 4th round of US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogues. He remarked that US and China should know how to respect each other despite their disagreements and also appealed to its counterpart to break the conventional belief that superpowers are bound to engage in conflicts.
Springhill CareGroup: UN Sanctions 3 North Korean Firms
http://springcaregroup.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/un-sanctions-3-north-korean-firms.html
United Nation’s Security Council has decided to freeze the assets of 3 North Korean companies and consequently ban them from global trade because of their involvement in exporting, procuring and financing nuclear-related weapons.
UN’s sanctions committee has named the 3 blacklisted firms as Korea Heungjin Trading Company, Amroggang Development Banking Corporation and Green Pine Conglomerate.
Amroggang is a financing company involved in ballistic missile sales and is related to Tanchon Commercial Bank, which was blacklisted in 2009 for its participation in selling of arms. Green Pine is the firm which took over most of the activities of the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation, North Korea’s primary arms dealer that was blacklisted in 2009. It manufactures military maritime crafts, missile systems, torpedoes and also provides technical assistance to defense firms. Meanwhile, Korea Heungjin Trading Company was utilized to manufacture equipment with missile design applications and had been used for trading by the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation.
The Security Council committee has also approved more technology and items that would be banned for transfer from and to North Korea, adding to its list that contains North Korea’s nuclear-related resources.
Originally, South Korea, Japan, US and the European Union proposed to Security Council’s committee a list of 40 North Korean firms they wanted to sanction but China blocked the deal, resulting in only the approval of 3 companies. China usually opposes economic sanctions and is an ally of North Korea, though it had previously approved sanctions against the latter in its 2009 nuclear test.
Before the final decision of the committee, Springhill Group Home discovered that the companies included in the sanction list included 5 individuals and 8 more firms. The UN sanction committee works on a consensus basis, meaning that any individual member of the council is capable of blocking an agreement.
Diplomats have tried to minimize the incident where Beijing vetoed most of the entities on the proposed list. They have asserted that the “committee’s strong and united response shows that the Security Council is determined that there be consequences for this provocation and any future North Korean violation”. Apparently, they believe that such measures will increase North Korea’s isolation and make it harder for it to move forward with its illicit programs.
The United Nations has sanctioned the 3 North Korean firms in light of the nation’s failed April 13 rocket launch where it claims to put a satellite into orbit amidst a general suspicion that it is actually a missile test, something that is exclusively reported by Springhill Group Home.

Newsvine – Group of Springhill South Korea: The Laziest Scams in Internet History
http://www.tablezine.com/2012/04/20/newsvine-group-of-springhill-south-korea-the-laziest-scams-in-internet-history/
NEWSVINE – GROUP OF SPRINGHILL SOUTH KOREA –- A certain “Sehwan Jung” in South Korea has been sending a number of desperate requests for funds over Twitter: “I am in urgent need of money. Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make it up to you later.” A diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he’s sent the exact same message over and over. For another, he is tweeting almost exclusively to celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today sarcastically answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
“Now this one is a real winner,” says Dan Ring, a spokesperson for Boston-based data protection company Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as entertaining and as random as his actual request, and it’s one of the more optimistic requests out there. I hope there’s no way someone will fall for this.”
The “Sehwan gambit” joins the following examples as one of the laziest scams in Internet history.
• “JOHN” fails to mention what he even wants to con you out of:
Subject: what are you sale
Greetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly interested in buying your{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and the lastes condition,also i will like you to scan the pics for me for proper verifycation.
• This scammer doesn’t even attempt to establish a personal connection before offering $18 million:
Beloved,
I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I picked your email randomly for an inheritance of $18M. Please contact me for more details via [redacted].
• One malware attack came in the form of a bogus Christmas card—sent on March 19:
Date: 2010-03-19 09:27:15
“You have just received a Christmas greeting card! To see your custom card and who sent it, please check the attachment.”
• In this excerpt, one “Professor Farnsworth” selects you to survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this experiment that CERN are conducting is extremely dangerous, and could cause global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a black hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The scientists do not want you to know this as they know it will cause panic. However, I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected people to be evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from random to take part in this evacuation, thus continuing the survival of the human race …”
• African prince scams are so tired. This reward is allegedly offered by England’s royal family:

SOUTH GROUP SPRINGHILL KOREA: China, Korea linked to pill scam | Bangkok Post: news | Dropjack-livejournal
http://springhillcare.livejournal.com/8774.html
The move came after the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) obtained information that a Thai company had struck a deal to buy 10 billion pseudoephedrine-based cold tablets from a Chinese firm.
Previously, the DSI obtained information that the firm also signed a deal to buy 850 million tablets, or 40 tonnes of the medicine, from South Korea.
The DSI found that 87 million cold tablets were transported into Thailand from South Korea by plane on nine occasions since 2010.
They had false air cargo manifests to avoid attracting attention from the authorities.
The DSI suspected the medicines were smuggled in from South Korea.
The DSI is investigating two companies suspected of being involved in the smuggling of the pills from overseas.
The companies are UTAC Thai Co Ltd, a supplier of integrated circuits, and TVR Group Co Ltd, a car dealer and vehicle hire firm.
Some information relating to the drug purchases was uncovered at the companies during recent searches of their premises but the firms denied any involvement.
Mr Tarit said yesterday DSI officials also discovered a contract to buy 10 billion pseudoephedrine-based cold tablets from China during the search at UTAC Thai Co Ltd.
Under the contract, the first batch of 2 million tablets was to have been shipped to Thailand on July 31, 2009.
He said the DSI also found a photo showing a man collecting the pills from Suvarnabhumi airport cargo warehouse.
The cold tablets from China and South Korea have the same brand name of COLCOLCO, he said.
Mr Tarit said DSI officials also searched the company’s factory but there was nothing amiss.
However, it was found that the company had three South Korean executives and one Thai executive, Mr Tarit said.
He said the Korean Food and Drug Administration recently sent information regarding the nine shipments of pills which showed the contract to buy the cold tablets from South Korean was signed by UTAC Thai Co.
Mr Tarit said the DSI’s special case committee had decided to take up the inquiry into the pseudoephedrine smuggling case.
The committee had also agreed to investigate call centre scams involving criminal gangs duping people into transferring money to their accounts via ATMs.
Mr Tarit said he would head the inquiry into the smuggling of the cold tablets and lead an investigation team to travel to South Korea to seek more information about the contract.
Mr Tarit said shipping companies that were paid to import the pills would face prosecution for supporting the alleged smuggling of the medicine and for making false declarations, even if the tablets went through proper customs procedures before being shipped to Thailand.
Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung, who chairs the DSI’s special case committee, said he had sought help from senior authorities in China to support Thailand’s efforts to crack down on the smuggling of cold pills and they were willing to help.

Newsvine – Group of Springhill South Korea: The Laziest Scams in Internet History-livejournal
http://springhillcare.livejournal.com/9068.html
NEWSVINE – GROUP OF SPRINGHILL SOUTH KOREA –- A certain “Sehwan Jung” in South Korea has been sending a number of desperate requests for funds over Twitter: “I am in urgent need of money. Can you lend me 500,000 dollars?I will make it up to you later.” A diabolical plot, indeed, though Mr. Jung’s scam is unlikely to work. For one, people can see everything someone sends on Twitter and quickly realize he’s sent the exact same message over and over. For another, he is tweeting almost exclusively to celebrities, including Channing Tatum, Rosario Dawson, Carly Simon, journalist Nicholas Kristof (who today sarcastically answered, “Sure!”), and the foreign minister of Bahrain, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa.
“Now this one is a real winner,” says Dan Ring, a spokesperson for Boston-based data protection company Sophos. “Sehwan Jung’s list of celebrities is almost as entertaining and as random as his actual request, and it’s one of the more optimistic requests out there. I hope there’s no way someone will fall for this.”
The “Sehwan gambit” joins the following examples as one of the laziest scams in Internet history.
• “JOHN” fails to mention what he even wants to con you out of:
Subject: what are you sale
Greetings,My name is JOHN, i am highly interested in buying your{ what you want to sale } from you ,I will like you to give me the FINAL ASKING price and the lastes condition,also i will like you to scan the pics for me for proper verifycation.
• This scammer doesn’t even attempt to establish a personal connection before offering $18 million:
Beloved,
I am Elizabeth Etters, a Christian.I picked your email randomly for an inheritance of $18M. Please contact me for more details via [redacted].
• One malware attack came in the form of a bogus Christmas card—sent on March 19:
Date: 2010-03-19 09:27:15
“You have just received a Christmas greeting card! To see your custom card and who sent it, please check the attachment.”
• In this excerpt, one “Professor Farnsworth” selects you to survive a man-made black hole:
“… The truth is that this experiment that CERN are conducting is extremely dangerous, and could cause global disaster. This experiment has a 95% of causing a black hole, thus swallowing a large area of the planet. The scientists do not want you to know this as they know it will cause panic. However, I can help you.
I am arranging for a number of selected people to be evacuated to a safe location on an island in the South Pacific via aeroplane. You have been selected from random to take part in this evacuation, thus continuing the survival of the human race …”
• African prince scams are so tired. This reward is allegedly offered by England’s royal family:
