PROBLEM: Keith Perkins  got the phone alert and later heard the sirens going off in  his  southeast Alaska hometown of Sitka.
 He  said people on Facebook were chattering back and forth about whether this was real or not and what they should do.
Given the magnitude of the earthquake   Perkins  said  he  thought it best to head to the high school  a tsunami evacuation point  even though in the past  he  felt  his  home was at a "high-enough spot."
"I figured I'd probably just better play it safe "  he  said.
In Seward  at the southern end of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula  residents retreated to higher ground or left on the only road out of the city  fire chief Athey said. He described  it  as a controlled evacuation and compared  it  to folks driving home from a holiday fireworks show.

SOLUTION: Keith Perkins

PROBLEM: Kim Dae-Jung survived assassination attempts and a death sentence in his struggle against military-backed rulers  who had presided over dramatic economic growth but trampled human rights.
 Mass street protests led largely by Kim ushered in democracy in 1987.
 Democratisation "was possible because you were there with your unwavering convictions and your unyielding courage " Han said in his eulogy to Kim.
 Mourners pinned yellow ribbons to parliament's main gate. Thousands of police were deployed around the compound  where a large portrait of Kim  surrounded by flowers was placed on a shrine.
 Kim won office in 1997 at his fourth attempt  and was sworn in the following February at the height of the Asian financial crisis. He steered the country out of the crisis  launching major reforms and corporate restructuring.
 In 2000 he met Kim Jong-Il in Pyongyang for the first-ever summit in the hostile history of the two countries. His "sunshine" aid and engagement policy eased relations but failed to halt the North's nuclear weapons drive.
 Han said Kim "opened the path for inter-Korean reconciliation."
 Kim was awarded the Nobel prize for the summit and for his earlier struggle for democracy.
 The 2000 summit was marred by controversy after it emerged that Kim's government arranged for a business group to pay the North 500 million dollars as an inducement to hold it.
 But Kim never wavered on the need for reconciliation. "This is the best way to end the national tragedy and make a reunified motherland " he said in his final speech in office in 2003.
 "We will forever remember his wish for democracy and human rights as well as reconciliation and peace " the ruling Grand National Party said in a statement.

SOLUTION: Kim Dae-Jung

PROBLEM: FILE PHOTO: Pro-democracy demonstrators hold up portraits of  Chinese disbarred lawyer Jiang Tianyong   demanding  his  release  during a demonstration outside the Chinese liaison office in Hong Kong  China December 23  2016. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
In a verdict posted on its official Weibo microblog on Tuesday morning  the Changsha Intermediate Peopleâs Court said the lawyer  Jiang Tianyong  developed notions of overthrowing Chinaâs political system after being influenced by training workshops held by âanti-China foreign forcesâ overseas.
 Jiang âs wife  Jin Bianling  who lives in the United States  told Reuters on Tuesday that the verdict was âunacceptableâ and that she believed her husband was being made an example to âdeter or repressâ other rights lawyers.
âI do not acknowledge or accept this verdict â she said in a telephone interview. âJiang Tianyong is innocentâ.
The verdict was handed down exactly one year after  Jiang  first disappeared last November while visiting the family of another detained rights lawyer.  He  was held incommunicado for six months before being formally charged.
The facts in the courtâs ruling were broadly similar to those in a confession made by  Jiang  during  his  trial in August. Video footage of  Jiang  reading parts of a written statement were released by the court via social media at the time.
But rights groups said the trial was a show trial designed to discredit  him  and that  Jiang  was caught up in a sweeping campaign directed against lawyers and activists.
Jin said  Jiangâs  family was unable to appoint their own lawyers and that she had not been able to contact  Jiang  since  his  detention.
âWe donât know what  his  conditions are inside  or what kind of torture of mistreatment  he  has suffered â she said.

SOLUTION:
Jiang Tianyong
