“There were zero sunshine hours for May 24 and 25 because rain fell in all townships. The highest number of sunshine hours since than has been two, on May 25,”
 
“It is important for us to set up an implementation arrange-ment for PONREPP that ensures accountability and transparency in the planning and execution of the international donor program.”
 
“Korea and ASEAN will work together in the area of green growth in line with the advent of a green era. Green growth is not a matter of choice but a must to brace for global warming and climate change. Many advanced nations have already achieved much progress in this area. Korea also plans to step up efforts working together with ASEAN member countries,”
 
“My purpose was to help them keep up with what is happening in the world, to allow them to see how the world is a global village and to boost their sense of self-confidence.”
 
“There are two border crossings between Laos and Myanmar: the village of Wanpon on the Mekong River, which is a 45-minute drive from Tachileik, and Mong Maw. But there are hardly any people in these areas,”
“Some hotels can operate their generators on a 24-hour basis providing lighting only. The power supply at most hotels is available between 6pm and 6am the next day. Some hotels provide additional time for electricity between 1pm and 3pm,”
 
“These projects will also cover vitally important activities like creating employment and generating incomes for small farmers through crops and value-adding activities, including increased availability of rice seeds locally, improved community-based water management, and reviving a healthy and productive ecosystem for forest and fishery sectors,”
It said South Korea was Myanmar’s eighth largest trading partner. Myanmar exports to South Korea mainly comprise agricultural products, seafood, timber and garments. Myanmar mainly imports steel, garments and electrical and electronic products from South Korea, Xinhua said.
“When production does start it will be on a reduced scale until experienced operators and staff can be recruited and trained to bring production back to the previous levels,”
“Even if a user doesn’t use all the value of the card within 60 days, the phone number will automatically close down when the deadline comes,”
 
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged with violating Section 22 of Myanmar’s Penal Code, for “protecting a criminal and disturbing the stability of the state” in connection with an uninvited visit to her house by American John William Yettaw, 53, on May 4 and 5.
 
“Myanmar is not at all affected by the flu outbreak and so we have not made any changes to our products or cooking methods since then, we just make sure the meat is perfectly steamed as always,”
“One of the [trade] advantages Myanmar has is that it is abundant with natural resources and manpower, while South Korea is a country with experience in technology and international trade,”
 
“UMFCCI requested JETRO to help improve the quality of the Myanmar food processing industry and JETRO facilitated contacts with JODC. The expert will visit Myanmar foodstuffs factories from May 10-15 as a first round, and in the last week of May as the second round,”
 

Of course there are some aspects that could be improved. The 3850-square-foot compound has been affected by compulsive concreting syndrome, a common affliction in Yangon. But at least the present owner has made some effort to bring the yard to life, installing a row of flower beds along the brick fence and a motley assortment of flower pots around the edge of the house.
 
Super Junior is a 13 member boy band formed in 2005 who perform pop, dance, trot (the oldest form of South Korean pop music) and R&B. One of their hit songs ‘Happiness’ is covered by the local band Myaypaeyo (Peanut Butter) and also became a hit here.
 
But movie giants Pedro Almodovar, Ken Loach, Jane Campion and Ang Lee — heading the pack of 20 top world filmmakers running for the Palme — left without a mention from the jury headed by French actress Isabelle Huppert.
“We’ve already prepared our squad well to deal with all kinds of players, so whether the opposition has foreign players or not, it should not affect our performance. We have done enough training to compete well with them,”
 
“I think the players’ style has changed and they are now stronger when attacking. If they try hard to improve and the clubs’ backers continue to support the competition, I think the Myanmar National League will be a success.”
 
There were positives for Southern Myanmar, particularly in the first half when midfielder Banyar Oo linked up well with striker B James Htway but the lack of finishing prowess will worry coach U Kyaw Tint.
