Korea won a bid to host the Winter Olympic game in Pyeongchang. It was a huge triumph made of relentless challenge, support from whole nation and wish that moved IOC members.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 나눔고딕, NanumGothic, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">Daegwanryeong Ranch</span></strong></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

Ranches are as much exotic as Swiss and Austria because it is not easy to see ranches over high mountains. Samyang and Yangtae ranches are the popular ones, however, they are slightly different.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">Let’s go to Samyang ranch first. Take Yeongdong highway to Gangreung and exit at Heuinggye IC. Then, make a left turn, and pass a three-way intersection. Go straight and turn right at the next corner. Keep driving 8 more kilometers.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">Samyang ranch is the largest one in Asia, located 1,140 meters high from sea level and 1,983 square meters in size. The ranch runs shuttle bus, which is nonstop to the peak. However when coming down, you can get off at either of four stops and take a walk. Shuttle bus doesn’t run in winter. Admission fee is 7,000 won for adult and 5,000 won for children. There are milk cow, sheep, Tajo, rabbit and goat in the ranch. Among them, the flock of milk cow and sheep are the ‘best’. The perfect season for visiting is spring and summer when they are all outside. If you visit in winter you’ll see them in their cages.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the side way to the peak, there is a windmill electric generator complex. It looks simple but ‘literally’ generates 67% of whole electricity in Gangreung. There are TV drama sets and movie sets such as trees shown in the movie, Love Story. A fish called Hwangtae Deokjang is very well known. If you walk down from the top, you can’t miss anything special.</span></span></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br style="clear: both;" /><span style="font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: initial;"><img height="373" id="20120116_151/korea_brand_1326673697253JuSxF_JPEG/2.jpg" src="http://postfiles8.naver.net/20120116_151/korea_brand_1326673697253JuSxF_JPEG/2.jpg?type=w3" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: none; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: none; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; cursor: pointer;" width="550" /></span></span><br style="clear: both;" /><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><electricity air="" by="" clean="" daegwanryeong="" generated="" of=""></electricity></span></span></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> (Source: Korea Tourism Organization)</span></span></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It is located 805 meters high and 200,000 square meters in size. Land size is just 1/100 of Samyang ranch but it is as famous as Samyang ranch. Although it is smaller than that, it is way more comfortable to take a walk the whole area, watching sheeps. It is also close from Samyang ranch, which is just 12 kilometers away, so you can stop by after another. The sheep goes back in their indoor cage at 4 so you’d better manage your time to see them.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;">You can feed any animal in Samyang ranch but in Yangtae ranch you can only feed sheep because as you can see from the word ‘Yangtae’, which means ‘the flock of sheep’, they have only sheep. Instead, there is no admission fee in Yangtae ranch. There is only feeding fee, 3,500 won for adult and 3,000 won for children.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It is regarded as one of the greatest heritage in Korean history and the one that made its temple known throughout Korea. As Woljeong temple is a temple of name established in Ohdae mountain by Buddist monk Jajangyulsa, a number of people have visited the temple. If you want to visit here, take a bus at East Seoul bus terminal to Jinbu suburban bus terminal. Then take a bus toward Woljeong temple. If you drive, get on the Central express highway, and move over to the Yeongdong express highway. After you come off the highway at Jinbu IC, you are almost there.</span></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><br style="clear: both;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: 나눔고딕, NanumGothic, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><img height="809" id="20120116_270/korea_brand_1326673697668woFDl_JPEG/1712010200601005m_Woljeongsa_Temple.jpg" src="http://postfiles15.naver.net/20120116_270/korea_brand_1326673697668woFDl_JPEG/1712010200601005m_Woljeongsa_Temple.jpg?type=w3" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: none; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: none; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; cursor: pointer;" width="550" /></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><octagonal a="" fir="" like="" nine-story="" pagoda="" standing="" straight="" tree=""></octagonal></span></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;"> (Source: Korea Tourism Organization)</span></span></a></div><div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;">In addition, Fir tree road also attracts tourists. The road has become known after it appeared in a mobile phone ads. It has become a ‘must’ go place in Pyeongchang now. Just typing ‘firs’ on the internet search engine, you’ll find Ohdae mountain firs forest. You’ll be overwhelmed with the forest with a full of fir trees. Firs are vulnerable to pollution, so it’s not easy to see them in cities. That makes them truly valuable.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: 돋움; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><br style="clear: both;" /><span style="color: black; font-family: 나눔고딕, NanumGothic, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><img height="684" id="20120116_172/korea_brand_1326673699376WiYiX_JPEG/17120101990070131_Woljeongsa_Temple.jpg" src="http://postfiles13.naver.net/20120116_172/korea_brand_1326673699376WiYiX_JPEG/17120101990070131_Woljeongsa_Temple.jpg?type=w3" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: none; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: none; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; cursor: pointer;" width="550" /></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a child="" feeding="" href="" sheep=""><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><tree first="" or="" road=""> (Source: Korea Tourism Organization)</tree></span></span></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #464646; line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the last 20 years, the user interface (UI)has changed a lot. Since the development of media tablets, UI has adopted the ‘touch’ function from ‘click’ function. Gartner predicted that’mouse’ and ‘keyboard’ applications that needed ‘click’ will be changed into the ‘touch’ applications. He added that applications will become more and more mobile-friendly solutions.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

Well, there is nothing like accessories to complete the ‘better’ look. Every decorative itemsitem, such as hats and mufflers, can be called accessories.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;">Today, we will go through the favorite accessories of Korean women in the Joseon Dynasty era. Hair ornaments, bracelets, rings and necklaces. They wore different ornaments by season, occasion and age. In addition, each accessory has its own story. For example, when family gets separated, they share each ring from a pair of rings, garakji. When husband died early, wife buried a ring of the pair with him and she kept the other to commemorate him. For that reason, garakji used to be made as a pair and actually bigger than present one.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Let’s take a look at the accessories of women in the Joseon Dynasty era.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 나눔고딕, NanumGothic, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span>Earring: The Symbol of Class</span></span></strong></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

In certain countries of Asia, people considered it like a charm and kept it very carefully. They were also called eesik, eedang or eehwan. Many gold crowns and delicately made-ornaments were excavated from many graves of the Three Kingdoms period. We can guess the metalwork technique of the era was very sophisticated and detailed. There are three types of earrings; simple, dangling and showy. The earrings of old times were made of gold, silver and bronze, but unfortunately the number of the earrings from Goryeo dynasty are very few.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

The typical example is Hwarang in the Silla kingdom. They used to wear earrings as a symbol of youth and ability. According to the Annals of the Joseon dynasty, prince Yangpyeong put on big earrings when he was nine (in 1513) and it was common for prince to put on earrings back then. However, the earrings became unpopular since the Confucianism pervaded the whole country in the Joseon Dynasty era. Even the King Seonjo officially announced that it is the most undutiful thing to put on earrings because piercing is hurting the ancestrally inherited body. According to some recent studies on the era, scholars insist that the regulation was resulted from the economic crisis caused by importing too much gold and silver for earrings from China. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Eventually, the men’s earrings were disappeared after King Seonjo era and women only put on earrings in wedding ceremony. For this reasons, the design of the earrings in Joseon dynasty became very simple.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Garakji means a pair of big rings. It was also called “Jihwan”. Garakji appeared from the Joseon Dynasty era. It was only for married women. If a woman put on only one ring in her finger, it means she was a single. Only married women could put on a pair of rings, which means harmony with her husband. The idea came from the Confucianism</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

In 16th century, the Tudor dynasty believed that the blood vessel of the 4th finger of left hand is connected to heart, and they put on wedding ring on 4th finger. Since then, it became customary in most countries. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Garakji was mainly made of gold and silver but other materials were also used, such as lacquer, jade, quartz, green jadeite, amber, pearl, and copper. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">In Joseon dynasty, noblewomen and royal family put on different materials of rings by season and occasion. Gold rings from Oct. to Jan., silver lacquer rings from Feb. to Apr., jade or quartz rings were for Dano festival and regular lacquer rings were from dog days, boknal, to Sep. All of them were for having a natural and harmonious look, which are influenced by the formality of clothing and four seasons.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Garakji was not only a love token but loyalty to the country as well. During Japanese invasion of 1592, a gisaeng, cultured women entertainers in the Joseon Dynasty era, called Nongae, hugged Japanese general and jumped down to the river, wearing 10 rings. Jinjoo local government designated Aug. 8th as the “Nongae Day” and has hosted many special events and donated hundreds of silver rings engraved "euiam", which is the name of the rock she stepped on before jumping into the river, to supporting center.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It is widely loved by all classes, from royal family to common people. Norigae was the most popular ornament during the Joseon Dynasty era, while the other accessories like necklaces and earrings became unpopular. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">There is no historical record on norigae. For your information, the Hanbok during the Silla kingdom and the Goryeo dynasty era doesn’t look like the one in these days. Instead of norigae, it was customary to hang pocket filled with gold bell or scent in the belt. Later in Joseon, they were replaced into the new born accessory, norigae. During the era, norigae was hung in the breast-tie of Hanbok. People wore more gorgeous norigae for royal functions and big festivities. Noblewomen used to inherit it to generation after generation.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black;">Norigae is consisted of ttidon, string, but also paemul(jewel), knot and sool(tassel). Ttidon is a tie to connect jewels and it is supposed to be hung in the breast-tie. Gold, silver, white jade, green jadeite and coral were used to make norigae. There are square, rectangular, round, flower and butterfly shaped ttidon. According to the number of jewels of it, it was called oijul-norigae or danjak-norigae(single jewel) and samjak-norigae(three jewel). </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Red, blue, yellow, pink, green, light purple and deep purple colors were used to make sool(tassels). Besides, some of norigaes were embroidered with a rhino horn, lotus flower, and herb that was belived to bring an eternal youth. Norigae represented not only the social status but also the wishes of women and ideologies for abundance, longevity and good luck.</span></span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.8; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Binyeo is an ornamental hairpin used to hold a hair bun in place. We can still see old ladies wearing binyeo in countryside. Binyeo is classified into two kinds; a Jam and a Chae. Jam is a normal stick-shaped binyeo and Chae is a tong-shaped binyeo with decorations. Binyeo was allowed only for married women. The jewels, woods, animal horns and bones were used to make binyeos.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

But it also became very detailed since King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty era.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">The question is why he forced women to put on binyeo. In fact, in mid-Joseon Dynasty era, married women used to put on gachae (a wig) around hair. The higher the wig is, the higher their social status is. The most expensive wig cost almost same as a fine house. It caused a social problem. In addition, because of heavy wig, some women were suffering from neck sickness. Besides, they even decorated the wig with various accessories. For the reason, the wig was replaced into binyeo. </span></span></a></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

Okbong binyeo, Wonang binyeo,Isaryeon binyeo were used to giled dangui, a type of upper garment for women in hanbok.

La semana pasada, un abogado de Apple dijo en un tribunal estadounidense que ejecutivos "del más alto nivel" de ambas compañías estaban conversando sobre los litigios por patentes.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Esto ocurre después de que un juez hizo alusión a la estrecha relación empresarial entre ambas compañías para resolver el caso a través de un método alternativo a los tribunales.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Apple, que fue el segundo mejor cliente de Samsung después de la japonesa Sony el año pasado, se convirtió en el mayor cliente de la firma surcoreana en el primer trimestre, principalmente por la compra de semiconductores, según el informe trimestral de Samsung. Samsung es uno de los fabricantes de teléfonos inteligentes debido al auge del sistema operativo Android y ha surgido como el competidor más fuerte de Apple en el mercado de Tablet PC.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Un portavoz de Apple Korea no quiso realizar comentarios sobre la demanda y reiteró la posición previa de la compañía. "No es una coincidencia que los últimos productos de Samsung se parezcan mucho al iPhone y al iPad desde la forma del aparato a la interfaz de usuario e incluso su empaquetado", dijo el portavoz.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />En la anterior demanda contra Apple, Samsung dijo que pedía compensaciones por violaciones de patente. Las acciones de Samsung cerraron con una subida de un 2,5 por ciento antes de las noticias sobre la demanda.</div><div><br />

En ese punto se unen dos ramales del ferrocarril argentino Belgrano Cargas; el C-14, que conecta Barranqueras con los puertos chilenos del Pacífico, y el C-17, que corre hacia el sur y va hasta el puerto cerealero de Rosario.</div></div></span></span></strong></div>Alexi Luishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020325254261827050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184418355916891996.post-33648346737084514642011-05-09T21:01:00.000-07:002011-05-09T21:01:10.534-07:00Carne Paraguaya en Corea del Sur<div style="color: #666666; font: normal normal normal 12px/17px Verdana; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;"><span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><b>Paraguay exporta carne termoprocesada a Corea del Sur</b></span></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font: normal normal normal 12px/17px Verdana; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It is a surprising result when considering that many Thailand the Korean drama and music are sweeping over the country. But in fact, Koreans themselves don’t regard Jajangmyeon as Korean food.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>The name of Jajangmyeon was derived from the word ‘Zhajiangmian<span style="background-color: white; color: black;">(</span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">炸酱面</span></span><span>)’ in China. In the past, many Chinese ordinary people used to add ‘</span><span>Chunjiang(</span><span style="color: black;">椿酱</span><span style="color: black;">)’, </span><span>Chinese</span><span> fermented soybean paste in the noodle. Like many Chinese who settled in other countries, Chinese in Korea also had this noodle, but in a little different way, adding caramel, vegetables and meats. As time goes by, the way of cooking Zhajiangmian and its ingredients have been changed to fit the Korean’s tastes, which is now Jajangmyeon.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are a number of foreign dishes beloved by Koreans, even if they haven’t been changed as much as Jajangmyeon. For example, there is a huge difference between the Korea-made pizza and Italy-made pizza which is baked over stove. Unlike the original pizza with one or two fresh ingredients on its thin and crispy bread, the Korea-made pizza has a lot of toppings and sauce on its soft and thick bread. Yes, it was changed to fit the Koreans’ tastes who love soft and chewy food.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To be accurate, as the Italian pizza became Americanized in the U.S., many things including dough, ingredients and even the method of cooking were changed a bit. After then, the Americanized pizza arrived in Korea and it once again had a change. Even though many Koreans love pizza itself, there are still a lot of pizza companies which are trying to develop their pizza to fit the Koreans who are accustomed to spicy food.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: 굴림, gulim, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

It came across to Korea not from Italy, but from the Italian restaurant in the U.S. and Japan. The Pasta was changed again in Korea, and got to have a new style and develop the new tastes.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, there is a significant difference between the pasta which is commonly sold in Korea and the original pasta, comparing the amount of sauce. The Italian pasta, which is a one of favorite dishes and courses among common people, originally has little sauce. However in Korea, people get used to have ‘one dish for a meal’, so the amount of sauce has increased like a noodle soup and satisfied their appetite.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Interesting fact here is that Kimchi or Gochujang(red pepper paste) added pasta is being exported overseas. People said that it is a reexportation of pasta. ‘Ramyeon’ is another example of the exported foreign dishes from Korea. First made in Japan, ramyeon which had arrived in Korea in late 1950s became one of the biggest trends ever. Since 2000, ramyeon industry in Korea has begun to rise rapidly, and exported ramyeon to Japan which is the home of ramyeon. Moreover, Korean ramyeon product was ranked the ‘globally recognized brand” by TokyoTV.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

But in terms of generalization, there must be the Thailand dishes. Regardless of the nation’s competitiveness and image, Thailand dishes are getting more popular and popular with the support of public sectors and the government. Those support started from 2004, when they launched the slogan, Thai-ness, in order to globalize the Thailand dishes. For this reason, people around the world not only order the menu but also remember the Thailand culture and its nation brand.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The key to success is that they just let people try their dishes by recommending as they do to their friends. Opening the restaurant in neighboring countries, they stick to their original tastes, but in remote countries like U.S. they tried to change their dishes to fit their tastes. For the reason, the Thailand dishes in close countries, such as Laos, Malaysia and Cambodia still have the piquant and spicy tastes even though the ingredients are little bit different. On the other hand, in Korea or western countries, they are working on to remove ‘Pak Chee’, Thailand’s representative spices or add more sweetness and salty taste. Through this relative PR strategy, the number of Thailand restaurants all over the world increased over 13,000, comparing the 4,000 restaurant in 2004.</span></span></div><div style="color: #444444; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />

And in fact, the population enjoying the Japanese food is rapidly increasing. Especially the PR strategy which aims at spreading the image of sushi to Europe, U.S., Asia and Africa as a gourmet food of the upper ten was considered successful. In addition, they promote the export of Japanese food supplies with the scientific data that they can make best sushi with the food supplies from Japan, which became a role model for many countries.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In particular, they published the book ‘How to eat Sushi’ telling the history of Sushi and how to use the chopstick, and how to eat Sushi, which made Sushi closer to foreign people as a culture.

So, we did analysis about the foreigners’ preferences on Korean dishes, such as Kimchi, Bibimbap, and Bulgogi which are considered known overseas. The statistics results were based on the Accenture Survey and Analysis implemented on June 2009.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First of all, 21% out of all foreigners who answered the survey came up with ‘Korean dishes’ from the word ‘Korea’. Most of them considered Kimchi is the representative food of Korea, and they were quite positive on its tastes, answering that it is rather spicy but very delicious. In particular, the Americans who participated in the survey answered that Korean dishes are mostly unique, inexpensive, and quite extensive. They also regarded that Korean dishes would be good to health and diet.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Meanwhile, ‘Bulgogi’ was selected the ‘most satisfactory dish’, recording 4.4 out of 5. Dakgalbi, which is spicy even to Koreans, got 4.3 unexpectedly. For the next, Bibimbap and Ddokgalbi recorded 4.2. Well, there are also other dishes that scored pretty low we need to check. Dongchimi noodles and Naengmyeon got around 3 points. It is expected that foreigners don’t like cold noodles.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Like many other countries which tried hard for globalization, we also need to be aware of the current status of Korean food, keep our own traditional value and develop the localized recipe by country.

"En el futuro, hay proyecciones de incremento del nivel del mar de 0,9 a 1,6 metros para el 2100 y la pérdida de hielo de los glaciares del Artico, los casquetes polares y la capa de hielo de Groenlandia supondrá una contribución sustancial", dijo.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />La proyección se ha realizado en relación a los niveles de 1990.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />"Los glaciares del Artico, los casquetes polares y la capa de hielo de Groenlandia suponen alrededor del 40 por ciento del incremento del nivel mundial del mar de alrededor de 3 milímetros al año, observado entre el 2003 y 2008", dijo. Los ministros de Relaciones Exteriores de los países del Consejo del Artico -Estados Unidos, Rusia, Canadá, Suecia, Finlandia, Dinamarca, Noruega e Islandia- tienen previsto reunirse en Groenlandia el 12 de mayo. El calentamiento del Artico está produciéndose al doble de velocidad de la tasa mundial.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />El Comité Intergubernamental de Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC) dijo en su último gran informe en el 2007 que los niveles mundiales del mar probablemente suban entre 18 y 59 centímetros para el 2100. Esos números no incluyeron una posible aceleración del calentamiento en las regiones polares. "Es preocupante que la ciencia más reciente apunte a un incremento en el nivel del mar mucho mayor de lo esperado hasta ahora", dijo a Reuters la comisaria europea del Clima, Connie Hedegaard.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />"El estudio es otro recordatorio de lo urgente que se ha convertido abordar el cambio climático, aunque su urgencia no siempre es evidente ni en el debate público ni a tenor del ritmo de las negociaciones internacionales", agregó. Las conversaciones de la ONU para combatir el cambio climático están avanzando lentamente. Naciones Unidas dice que las promesas nacionales para limitar la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, procedente sobre todo de la quema de combustibles fósiles, es insuficiente para evitar cambios peligrosos.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />El estudio del AMAP, elaborado por cientos de expertos, dijo que había señales de que el calentamiento se estaba acelerando. Dijo que el océano Artico podría estar prácticamente sin hielo en los veranos dentro de 30 ó 40 años, antes de lo previsto por el IPCC. Conforme disminuya el hielo y la nieve reflectantes, quedarán expuestas mayores áreas de agua o tierra más oscura.

Los servicios basados en la localización benefician a los consumidores ya que les ayudan a encontrar restaurantes cercanos, gasolineras y otros lugares con sus smartphones", dijo Kim Kwang-jo, profesor de informática del Instituto Avanzado de Ciencia y Tecnología de Corea. "Pero tienen el potencial de violar la privacidad del consumidor. Hay un vacío en los servicios de localización, y las compañías deberían conseguir el consentimiento de los usuarios para recopilar los datos de localización", añadió.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Los ejecutivos de Google han hablado sobre la posibilidad de dirigir la publicidad a los usuarios en base a su localización.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />"Tenemos la sospecha de que AdMob ha recogido información sobre la ubicación de los usuarios sin el consentimiento o aprobación de la Comisión Coreana de Comunicación", dijo un oficial de policía de Corea del Sur. Un portavoz de Google confirmó que la policía había visitado sus oficinas de Seúl y dijo a Reuters que la compañía estaba cooperando con la investigación. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Google adquirió AdMob, empresa líder en publicidad para móvil, el año pasado por 750 millones de dólares. La policía de Seúl también registró las oficinas del portal Daum Communications por sospechas similares, dijo Daum el martes.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Daum afirmó que la recopilación de datos de localización recogidos por su servicio de publicidad móvil no era ilegal, ya que era anónima y no podía ser utilizada para rastrear personas.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Representantes de Google no estaban disponibles de inmediato para realizar comentarios.</div></span></span></strong></div>Alexi Luishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020325254261827050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184418355916891996.post-79154934067115663602011-04-30T05:35:00.001-07:002011-04-30T05:35:40.291-07:00La cuarta generación de la telefonía móvil que se acerca<span class="photo" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; display: block; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 9px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img src="http://world.kbs.co.kr/src/images/akorea_economyPlus/ec_e_110411_l.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><br />

Los fabricantes de Corea del Sur como Pantech, LG y Samsung Electrónica se preparan para dar este salto tecnológico que promete una velocidad de acceso a la red como mínimo diez veces más rápida a las actuales de la tercera generación. La cuarta generación de comunicación móvil permite acceder a los contenidos y servicios de la red de manera más estable y veloz desde cualquier lugar, con una velocidad similar a las conexiones alámbricas. En 2008, la Unión Internacional de Telecomunicaciones definió la 4G como la tecnología móvil capaz de descargar a velocidades de 100 megabytes por segundo. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />La primera generación se refiere a la era analógica de las transmisiones de voz, mientras que en la segunda se dio comienzo a las llamadas inalámbricas digitales, hasta llegar a la tercera audiovisual. La implantación de la próxima generación de telefonía móvil, el estándar 4G, puede llegar antes de lo pensado. Será una plataforma de conexión que promete transmisiones de contenidos multimedia de alta resolución y bajar en segundos incluso, imágenes y videos en tres dimensiones.</span></div></div>Alexi Luishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020325254261827050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184418355916891996.post-28529920573610052732011-04-30T05:30:00.001-07:002011-04-30T05:30:50.997-07:00Nuevo remedio para combatir la degeneración macular asociada con la edad<span class="photo" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(205, 205, 205); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; display: block; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 9px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img src="http://world.kbs.co.kr/src/images/news_science/1303702744st_110425_l.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><br />

La mácula es la parte de la retina que se encarga del campo central de la vista. Desempeña un rol importante de la vista ya que la mayoría de los nervios ópticos se encuentran allí. La degeneración macular se genera cuando el área de los vasos sanguíneos que irrigan la mácula se ve dañada o por una acumulación excesiva de los desechos celulares en esta zona. La glaucoma, la retinopatía diabética y la degeneración macular relacionada con la edad son las tres causas comunes de la ceguera. La degeneración macular es una de las mayores causas de la discapacidad visual en las personas de más de 60 años, provocada por la acumulación de los desechos celulares, llamadas drusas, entre la retina y los coroides. Existen varios tratamientos para la degeneración macular, desde medicamentos hasta cirugía. La cirugía láser retrasa la progresión de la enfermedad y no revierte los daños producidos de la vista, mientras que las inyecciones intravítreas restauran la visión, pero con la desventaja de ser caras y de requerir generalmente múltiples inyecciones. Esta es la razón por la cual las gotas para los ojos desarrolladas por el Instituto de Estudios Tecnológicos Químicos de Corea se presenta como un remedio más fácil y eficiente para combatir este mal asociado con el envejecimiento.</span></div>Alexi Luishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020325254261827050noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184418355916891996.post-64003272957414793802011-04-05T16:06:00.000-07:002011-04-05T16:06:26.130-07:00Corea le hace la contra a Joseph Blatter<h2 class="summary" style="color: #444444; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">La federación de Corea del Sur manifestó este martes su apoyo a la candidatura del catarí Mohammed Bin Hammam para presidir la Federación Internacional de Fútbol, en una campaña en la que el actual dirigente de la organización, Sepp Blatter, aspira a su propia reelección.</span></strong></h2><div><strong style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

It is said that every single Japanese tourist who is said to have a lot interests on beauty are also impressed with Korea’s naturally-dyed products.

La efectividad de dicha deliberación es, no obstante, seriamente disputada. La junta sostiene que hasta el momento ha monitoreado 284 juegos que deben someterse a escrutinio por parte de la entidad.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="txt-schblue-b" style="color: #10bdf0; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">“Juegos sociales”</span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Se trata de juegos en línea que forman parte del servicio de redes sociales (SRS). En el caso de los juegos en línea, el usuario debe comprar o descargar el programa e instalarlo en su computador, con lo que se procede a formar comunidades de juego. Por otro lado, en el caso de los juegos sociales la comunidad está conformada por los usuarios del SRS, con lo cual tienen acceso a jugar de manera colectiva. Estos juegos en su mayoría requieren de poca capacidad de memoria y por lo general no necesitan ser descargados en el computador. Asimismo las reglas de juego suelen ser muy fáciles y las personas pueden ingresar al juego en cualquier momento que lo deseen. En este punto son muy similares a los juegos en red. Sin embargo, mientras que en los juegos en red los usuarios compiten unos contra otros por apoderarse de territorios, en los juegos sociales generalmente los jugadores deben cooperar para alcanzar metas comunes. FarmVille, el juego social líder del mercado, es un juego de simulación para la administración de una granja, el cual cuenta con más de 80 millones de usuarios mensualmente.</span></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 14px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="txt-schblue-b" style="color: #10bdf0; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Previo a la deliberación</span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />A partir del pasado noviembre la Junta de Clasificación de Juegos ha estado monitoreando todos los juegos accesibles en Corea a través de Facebook, sin importar que éstos se presenten en idioma coreano u otros.

This may as well be a good opportunity for Korea to introduce its advanced medical technology.</div><div class="cContentBody" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

We expect the project would gradually expand its activity reaching out to more regions and covering more diseases to be cured.</div><div class="cContentBody" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It is grateful for both, Korea who can be help and its neighbors who calls for help – the young children suffering from illness, and the parents who need support to afford medical treatment. A better global community can be upheld by being help for those who need a hand, and this project can be one way to practice the idea. We hope to see more medical institutions willing to donate their excellence in medical technology to bring new lives to our neighbors.</div></div>Alexi Luishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020325254261827050noreply@blogger.com0
