As one method of embedding creative thinking on your blog, there is a Google Maps API, Application Programming Interface. Google created the Google Maps API to allow developers to integrate Google Maps into their websites with their own data points.
For example, Stephane MOT embeded his own map on his blog, Seoul Village to introduce some locations. This map is kept updating.
Here is his map.

The Year of the NCO
I have been one personnel of the Non-commissioned officer, NCO groups as the CPL, since this July. When I had promotional ceremony, I did not consider that my state would change. However, that is wrong thought. After attaching an insignia of CPL on my ACU, a supervisor requires me to take care about a junior KATUSA. For example, a supervisor brought me to account for a junior KATUSA’s mistake. I think a supervisor tried to ask me responsibility at that time. It was hard for me to correct somebody’s fault, because I was afraid of ruining a good relationship with them. Also, I was not used to speak out. However, I had to do that as NCO. At that time, I first understood how NCO is a tough position. Then, I realized what the NCO is in a group with the wisdom of hindsight. From my experience, I start to reconsider about the position of NCO.
NCO is the backbone of the Army organization. In the human body, the backbone is the part of giving a body its main strength. According that meaning, NCO groups organize the Army and support it from bottom to top. They help the official groups and take care about junior soldiers. What the Army has the great NCO groups is meaning that they can conduct their duties with good effectiveness and high efficiency.
However, to be a good NCO is a far different from to be a NCO. NCO personally should set an example to their inferiors and themselves. Their good example improves the morale and shames their inferiors into working hard. Otherwise, their bad example destroys the military spirit and makes the inferiors commit an error without feeling guilty. Therefore, the Army established the title ‘The Year of the NCO’ in order to encourage and motivate each personnel in NCO groups. ‘The Year of the NCO’ is the title for the best NCO in the unit. However, I think the title is not for one best NCO, but all NCO themselves. All of NCO members need to take pride themselves as ‘The Year of the NCO.’ Therefore, they who have pride as ‘The Year of the NCO’ should conduct right things even without watchers.

Differentiated your business from Ordinary
Would you like to work for Google? Break the Code.Google made a difficult code to break and attached the post on the wall of M.I.T.
No one knows what the answer is until now, but someone guess the answer to the code implies information of a personnel section. Here is full text.
However, I see the code with another focus. Google made buzz with the code. Just like Seth Godin's saying, Google transform their wanted by being remarkable. It's enough to make attentions from greasy grinds. They have a surprising intellectual curiosity to know everything they can. Also, they have a strong competitive spirit. Therefor, it's working out to hire the talent that Google try to show them a hard nut to crack.
Weekly BIZ
Even though somebody accuse Chosun Ilbo of distorting public opinion, it's the truth that they are one of the most power of newspapers in Korea and they have the strong brand power as an opinion leader for the conservative groups. For example, I've read Chosun Ilbo for 20 years, because my grandfather used to subscribe it.However, I'd like to recommend both business and economic sections on Chosun Ilbo. That's the Weekly BIZ. They make interview with the big name, such as CEOs and scholars using their brand power.
These day, Weekly BIZ launches the management consultation online office. 18 global professional coaches contribute to the online office. There are Philip Kotler, Orit Gadiesh, Don Tapscott, Tim Harford, and more. Here are detail profiles of them.
Here is a WeeklyBiz Feed. I added it on RSS reader and keep watching it. Let me review some articles later.

Susie Yoo, Head Hunter
The faster going into knowledge-base-industry, the more important recruiting the talent. Even some leading companies don't use a word 'recruiting' any more, but 'acquisition'. Here is my piece of writing to the readers' column of POSTECH TIMES. After this contributing, ironically Leman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code, on 15 Sep 2008.
Anyhow, as many companies feel thirsty to find the talent fitting their company, the professional service firms in HR area are going to be busy.
In many career consulting firms, I focused on You&Partners Inc. run by Susie Yoo(유순신). She is an established head hunter magnate. She took a part of big projects related with a multinational enterprise, a large domestic corporation, and a public institution. I first knew there is CEO who is consulting another CEOs with the book, 나는 희망을 스카우트 한다(I'm scouting hope). She suggests how to make your career remarkably using her stories on the book.
Here is a interview video with Mrs. Yoo.
In conclusion, I'd like to post her suggestion about the 11 Requirements to be Global Standard.
1. Great communication skill
2. Expertise in one's own area
3. Flexible think and mild interpersonal relationship
4. Don't hesitate to invest oneself
5. Building international networking
6. Finishing duty with integrity and responsibility
7. Fast decision maker between yes and no
8. Collecting information and using it proactively
9. Disciplining oneself without limit
10. Regarding oneself like owner
11. Conducting on the same pace with speed of thinking

Steve Kim, Most Successful Asian American
When I lounged around the Kyobo book store, the book I post up left side caught my step. I just wondered, 'Have I ever heard about his name, Steve Kim, famous as Bill Gates of Asia?' I have never heard of this before. I already held this book without my knowledge. I was curious who he is. And there is a small notice on the tail "Total royalties from this book will be donated to social welfare service." I can say that's why I chose it. I read his story doubtfully because I thought this book was a case of an exaggerative advertisement.However, I was wrong. I was just a big fish in a little pond. In a few googling, I realize Steve Kim was chairman and CEO of Xylan Corporation(Here are some articles from LA Times) and he ranked the 9th on the America's 100 Top Asian Entrepreneurs.
Now he devotes himself to social welfare service for developing countries including the north Korea. Besides, he runs the scholarship foundation, Dream Hope Future.
I see Steve Kim as the great role model I want to follow. Although he had begun from the scratch, he has achieved success. And he doesn't forget to express his gratitude to the world. In conclusion, I don't believe God, but if somebody get mount on the top of the ladder those people would know they are selected to conduct the great duty. Steve Kim knows he is one of them.

It is published every month.I chose Fortune Korea as my first management magazine. I will review and post up some of articles in Fortune Korea.
