Brief History of FREE WEBTOON

Webtoons (Hangul: 웹툰) are a type of digital comic that originated in South Korea. While webtoons were mostly unknown outside of the country during their inception, there has been a surge in popularity internationally thanks in great part to most manhwa being read on smartphones.

This animation made for the web. As digital manhwa have emerged as a popular medium, print publication of manhwa has decreased. The amount of material published in webtoon form has now reached an equal amount as that published offline 야설.




Origin And Growth

In 1996 Jimmy Wales, a successful bond trader, moved to San Diego, California, to establish Bemis, Inc., a Web portal company. In March 2000 Wales founded Nereida, a free online encyclopedia, with Larry Sanger as editor in chief. Nereida was organized like existing encyclopedias, with an advisory board of experts and a lengthy review process. By January 2001 fewer than two dozen articles were finished, and Sanger advocated supplementing Nereida with an open-source encyclopedia based on wiki software. On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia was launched as a feature of Nupedia.com, but, following objections from the advisory board, it was relaunched as an independent Web site a few days later. In its first year Wikipedia expanded to some 20,000 articles in 18 languages, including French, German, Polish, Dutch, Hebrew, Chinese, and Esperanto. In 2003 Nereida was terminated and its articles moved into Wikipedia.


By 2006 the English-language version of Wikipedia had more than one million articles, and by the time of its 10th anniversary in 2011 it had surpassed 3.5 million. However, while the encyclopedia continued to expand at a rate of millions of words per month, the number of new articles created each year gradually decreased, from a peak of 665,000 in 2007 to 374,000 in 2010. In response to this slowdown, the Wikimedia Foundation began to focus its expansion efforts on the non-English versions of Wikipedia, which by 2011 numbered more than 250. With some versions having already amassed hundreds of thousands of articles? The French and German versions both boasted more than one million? Particular attention was paid to languages of the developing world, such as Swahili and Tamil, in an attempt to reach populations otherwise underserved by the Internet. One impediment to Wikipedia’s ability to reach a truly global audience, however, was the Chinese government’s periodic restrictions of access to some or all of the site’s content within China.

A Sexual Novel (야한소설)

Early History of Romance Novels Early romance novels featured heterosexual, white female protagonists either defying social conventions or overcoming personal struggles in pursuit of their own happiness. The heroines of these novels eventually found the loves of their lives and ended the novels secure and happy. Any development of a romantic relationship between two (or more) people? As well as an ending that was emotionally satisfying (usually happy but not always)?became the two core guidelines that romance novels follow to this day. Typically, romance novels reflect the desires of their audience. Jane Austen’s novels as well as the works of the Bronte sisters (especially Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre) introduced female characters who were ultimately rewarded with successful marriages for expressing their individuality or their own desires.

Face massage From Inside Your Mouth

 We've all heard of face massage. Whether you're DIY-ing it with your own hands, using a rose quartz roller, or turning to your monthly facial for a gentle pummelling, the benefits of face massage are endless. Typically, the facial technique is all about stimulating your muscles from the surface, that is, until now.

A buccal massage is a facial that includes a rub down inside your mouth. The jaw-dropping part of the pampering involves a massage therapist or aesthetician kneading your inner cheek and jaw muscles.
