The meeting of the two Korean leaders in Pyongyang today for the second inter-Korean summit augurs well for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and should give the progressing Six-Party Talks added momentum, Chinese observers said yesterday.
 +
President Roh Moo-hyun of the Republic of Korea (ROK) will cross the military demarcation line on foot before driving to Pyongyang for a meeting with his opposite number, Democratic People's Republic Of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong-il, which will run into Thursday.
 +
The meeting has been a long time in the making.
 +
Seven years ago Roh's predecessor Kim Dae-jung met with Kim Jong-il as the two posed for an historic handshake in the DPRK capital and promised to work together to defuse bilateral tensions. The DPRK leader promised to consider holding a reciprocal meeting in Seoul but later backpedaled and the follow-up summit threatened never to happen.
 +
With bilateral relations now in a relative state of prosperity and the Six-Party Talks firmly back on track, this week's summit should intensify inter-Korean cooperation and finalize a peace regime on the peninsula at an early date, Shen Jiru, a researcher of Asia-Pacific studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.
 +
"Meantime, as parties in direct confrontation on the Korean Peninsula, the alleviation of their relations will help catalyze the Six-Party Talks process to pave the way for the development of Northeast Asia and even a new peace framework for the region," Shen noted.
 +
The latest session of the multi-pronged talks, which also involve the US, Russia, Japan and China, on the Korean nuclear issue entered a two-day recess on Sunday. Negotiators took a break after reaching a tentative agreement on a roadmap for the DPRK to declare and disable its nuclear programs in line with a February 13 agreement in exchange for 1 million tons of heavy fuel oil, or the equivalent in economic aid.
 +
Roh said yesterday that peace on the peninsula is the top agenda of his meeting with Kim.
 +
"Without any confidence in peace, (the inter-Korean cooperation) on co-prosperity and unification would be meaningless. Furthermore, regional circumstances surrounding the peninsula, including the Six-Party Talks on the settlement of the nuclear issue, have entered a wholly different phase," Roh said at a ceremony marking the 59th Armed Forces Day in Seoul.
 +
The bilateral summit is hoped to serve as a platform for discussions of ways to enhance mutual military confidence, a Korean Peninsula peace treaty and inter-Korean disarmament, Roh said.
 +
The two Koreas remain technically in a state of war as the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a ceasefire rather than a peace treaty.
 +
Shen said the two leaders would probably try to find a way of finally putting this issue to bed.
 +
"They might work out a peace declaration for the Korean Peninsula to show the world their willingness to make peace,' Ren added.
 +
Roh is expected to watch with Kim the mass games performance within the Arirang Festival during his Pyongyang visit.
 +
"The sight of the two Korean leaders sitting side by side at one stadium to watch the Arirang Festival performance would send a message of peace around the world," ROK officials said.
 +
Also on the table for discussion is inter-Korean economic cooperation and the establishment of economic development zones.
 +
"We can't expect much more than that from the summit and we will have to wait and see," said Ren.

A hard coarse-grained rock and one of the most beautiful natural stones in the world, granite consists mainly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar, which contribute to its color - white, pink, or light grey. The dark brown, dark-green, or black is due to the presence of such minerals as hornblende and biotite mica. The molecules of these minerals entwine in a way that makes granite hard, difficult to damage, generally impossible to scratch, heat resistant, and durable, making it an ideal choice for flooring, wall cladding, pillars, kitchen counters, vanity tops, paved paths and the outdoors.
 
  
Resilient, lasting decades on end, easy to clean and maintain, granite is also very aesthetic. It creates a luxurious, spacious feel in any home, getting its glossy finish from highly powered polishing tools and fine grit diamonds. Granite is available in honed (unpolished) and rough textured (flamed) finishes as well, to suit varying decor tastes. And it carries a timeless quality about it; it’s more or less always in vogue.
 
 
With the advances in technology creating a revolution of sorts in quarrying, fabrication, and expanding applications, costs are reducing everyday, making granite an affordable alternative to manmade stone industries that generate tons of in-disposable waste.
 
 
Marble
 
 
Its elegance is legendary. Architects of yore used marble to its best effect, making the most of its strength, beauty, changing hues with light and weather, and its malleability in sculpture. Once considered the domain of the rich and famous, no less than Nobility or Royalty, marble today is popular as elegant flooring or lining interior and exterior walls. Perhaps no other material adds so much prestige to a home as marble does. It is used practically everywhere: outdoor fountains and statues, indoor fire surrounds, Jacuzzis, as inlays on furniture, countertops and bar counters and much more. Hygienic, it traps little or no dirt and never gathers mold.

Marble flooring is best in low traffic areas, to avoid stains or scratches, and, like most exterior stones, can lose its color in a highly polluted environment. It is easy to maintain though; all you need are the right applications and some simple equipment to restore it to its original sheen and condition. Please see Tips for Cleaning Marble for more information
 
 
Marble is essentially limestone, calcium carbonate that crystallizes gradually over time, and comes in many forms: calcite, from calciferous limestone, dolomite, from dolomitic limestone, serpentine or green marbles and travertine or sedimentary limestone. It traces its history to heat and pressure in the earth's crust, which metamorphose limestone to form large, coarse grains of calcite containing impurities that contribute an interesting array of colors to marble. In its purest form, marble is white, while hematite adds a reddish color, limonite, yellow and serpentine green.
 
 
Because marble is difficult to separate easily into sheets of equal size, it is mined carefully, without the use of explosives, which could shatter the rock. Experts therefore use channeling machines, which cut grooves and holes in the rock to lift it carefully.
 
   
 
Sandstone
 
 
Sand, joined by minerals like quartz and feldspar, pyrite and feldspar or through the force of pressure creates the incredibly beautiful natural rock of sandstone. It is usually cream or grey to red, brown, or green in color, depending on impurities caused by other minerals like iron oxide. It requires little finishing, if any, coming ready to use, as it does, straight from the ground -  an earthy finish as it were. 
 
 
Once popular in constructing houses and particularly facades, sandstone today is ideal for flooring or outdoor paths.
 
 
Slate
 
 
Perhaps the most versatile of natural stones, slate easily splits into thin, durable sheets, making it ideal for roofing, flagstone, trimming the facade of buildings and lobbies and high-water areas like showers, and pool surrounds. Some slate slabs, consisting chiefly of clay are also popular in flooring and sometimes as counter tops. Additionally, slate is durable and waterproof. Made primarily from grains of mica and quartz with small quantities of chlorite, hematite, and other minerals, it is usually grey to black in color. The color may vary, though, becoming red or purple, if adulterated by the presence of other minerals.
 
Travertine
 
 
A porous rock with many cavities and holes, travertine originates from limestone formed over a long period and is available in a diverse range of colors, from ivory to golden brown. For practical use, its holes are filled using cement (grouting) or chemical fillers like polyester resins, or left unfilled for aesthetic appeal. Grouting travertine in different colors gives an amazingly unique effect to your flooring. Travertine is best on floors, vanity tops, wall cladding, fireplace surrounds and furniture.
