Michael Zomber: A Passionate Historian

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Michael Zomber is a man who executes the meaning behind this quote as he regularly expresses his passion for the preservation of history. His overall theory on how to ensure the retention of knowledge of historical events focuses on the collection, care, and sale of antique arms.

With a heavy focus on Japanese samurai swords, the man has shared his knowledge with the public by appearing on the History channel’s show, Tales of the Gun.  His segments can be seen on YouTube. Combining his two passions of antique arms and storytelling, he finally got his moment in the spotlight to emphasize the importance of preserving history.

Born in Washington DC, his passionate soul was noticeable early in life. Upon completion of college, the enthusiast received his bachelor’s degree in English literature and psychology. He progressed and ultimately obtained his master’s degree in English literature. Putting his degrees to good use, the storyteller had written dozens of screenplays and historical novels available through Amazon. Of course, each of his works emphasized his passion for the history of arms and samurai swords.

Of course, the historian did not spend his entire life working and was actually a family man. Married with two children, Zomber certainly revels in all of life’s offerings. Conclusively, however, if one can take any lesson away from this man, it is that every aspect of your life must be the direct result of passion in your heart.  Check out Facebook for updates, or Michael’s personal website to follow his collection.

Children Dying in Hospitals From Lack of Funding

It doesn’t seem like there is such a thing as equal healthcare for all people in Venezuela. A doctor at JM de Los Rios Children’s Hospital has made statements on El-Nacional that the times are dangerous. There isn’t enough drugs for the children in the hospital. The equipment needs to be replaced. Military officials can be seen walking along some of the hallways, which according to expert David Osio has frightened some of the patients and the families who are there. One doctor was fired for trying to stand up for human rights. Due to the dire economy in Venezuela, there are things that are being pushed to the back burner, and one of those is healthcare. Children are dying. There are children and teenagers waiting on drugs that could save their lives, but there is a lack of the items needed because the country doesn’t have the money to get them into the hospitals.

President Of The US Money Reserve Discusses How One Day A Penny Might Not Exist

In, an interview by CNBC Squawk box Philip Diehl, president of the US Reserve speaks about how a penny has become devalued in current day. It is no longer copper and instead is made out of zinc. In today’s world people often pass a penny by. Sometimes they don’t even take it back from the cashier.

There is talk that at some point they will stop producing the penny and often it is more expensive to make the monetary coin than it is even worse which makes little sense in today’s world. The need to keep the penny around is more done for the conversation of the coin that one of our most famous presidents sat on, Abraham Lincoln.

Is it more important to have it as a symbol or to get rid of it and help the economy. It is interesting how it is considered such an important token of history and that keeping it around is even considered.

It is interesting to think about how many people would now just pass it by instead of taking it’s importance in to context. The thought of making something, losing money and keeping it around seems to be a fruitless effort. There is also thoughts that it would make bookkeeping a difficult effort. Strangely enough the opinion is that it really wouldn’t cause any problems and is more trouble than it is worth.

According to Crunch Base, Soon the United States will move to get rid of the penny and nothing much will probably change the US Money Reserve. Instead of a Pennies could be a thing of the past..penny being the biggest issues people are concerned that a nickel might be more of an issue but, it is truly not a big of a problem to be concerned about.

Someday in this world a child will be born and the shiny copper (not really) will be something we never discuss again. It sounds like most of the reason for hanging on to the penny is simply rooted in tradition and nothing more. Eventually the penny will be some sort of nostalgic peace of history. It will definitely be remembered but, probably not used.

Yeonmi Park’s Epic Story

In order to truly understand how different lifestyles are around the world, all that needs to be done is to hear stories from people of different nations. Yeonmi Park, a former North Korean inhabitant is a good example of how to do this.

Once a citizen of North Korea, Park began to grow disillusioned with the country’s society as she grew older and began seeing exactly how brutal and oppressive the regime could be. According to Yeonmi Park herself, she said on a Youtube video she had no idea what freedom was or even that the concept existed and that basic things such as food were all the happiness she needed. Regardless, her and her family decided to leave the country in 2007 and begin a new life in another country, having to fend off starvation, abuse and possible death many times along their journey. The North Korean government itself has listened to Yeonmi Park‘s story and has even painted Park and her family in a very negative light, with Park stating that she feels that Kim Jong-Un, the current ruler, is not a fan of her at all.

Park’s own personal story began in Hyesan of North Korea, where she lived for much of her life, her father working as a civil servant and her mother as a nurse for the North Korean Army. Though her family was considered to be privileged in her youth, the family began encountering struggles in the later years, particularly when her father was imprisoned for illegal insider trading. This, on top of seeing a glimpse of the outside world, was what prompted her and her family to flee the country. In early 2007, the family began taking steps to leave North Korea and flee into China, enlisting the help of Christian missionaries and human traffickers along the way. Hardships were endured for the family, including the death of Park’s father from colon cancer, but the family was able to lay low in Mongolia for some time before eventually making their way to South Korea. There, they began building a new life and the act of telling the world their stories.
