text:
Before entering into a contractual relationship with a Korean manufacturer's/commissioned representative (agent) or distributor, U.S. firms should conduct a thorough due diligence check on a prospective business partner. A contract with an agent or distributor should be handled with care and with the assistance of an attorney. The Commercial Service in Korea can assist by providing companies with an International Company Profile (ICP) (Consult: http://export.gov/southkorea/servicesforuscompanies/icp/index.asp) report, which provides detailed financial and related business information on the company you seek to work with.
The most common means of product or service representation in Korea are:
The performance of your agent/distributor should be regularly/frequently monitored. An underperforming or non-performing agent/distributor should be counseled and properly guided. If, after a period of time, performance is still poor (and only after careful consideration of all legal and contractual obligations), a termination of contract should be considered. Once the termination is legally binding, the U.S. firm should begin searching for a new distributor.
Finding a Good Partner in Korea
The U.S. Department of Commerce's Commercial Service (CS) office in Seoul, like CS offices around the world, offers the Gold Key Service (GKS) (See: http://export.gov/southkorea/servicesforuscompanies/gks/index.asp) to assist U.S. companies in finding a good partner in Korea.
U.S. exporters are encouraged to contact one of over 100 U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs; please contact the USEAC closest to your business). Consult: http://export.gov/usoffices/index.asp to begin the process.
U.S. exporters of food and agricultural products can also find assistance from one of USDA's State Regional Trade Groups; please consult: http://www.fas.usda.gov/programs/market-access-program-map/state-regional-trade-groups. Also inquire directly to the Agricultural Trade Office in Seoul, Korea: www.atoseoul.com/
The GKS provides:
CS Korea strongly recommends that:
The dynamism and maturity of the Korean market, coupled with its strategic location in East Asia, may lead U.S. companies to consider opening an office in Korea. The following options exist:
Basic guidelines to setting-up an office in Korea include:
Korea has a large pool of conscientious and highly-educated workers. Female employees are especially strong candidates, given their educational achievements, language abilities, and the prevalence of traditional Korean cultural attitudes toward female employees (which have historically prevented them from progressing as quickly as they would in a U.S. company).
Due to differences in U.S. and Korean employment practices, CS Korea recommends consulting Korean employment agencies before hiring.
According to Korea FTC (Fair Trade Commission), in 2014, nearly 3,482 franchises were registered in Korea (i.e., approximately 2,521 were food service franchises, 313 were retail franchises, and 648 were service franchises).
Franchisors interested in this market should take into consideration the following:
Korean franchisees are reluctant to pay high franchising fees and royalties often required by U.S. companies. Minimum facility size and number of store openings required by some U.S. franchisors are also a challenge for the Korean franchisees. The expensive nature of the commercial real estate sector in Korea can potentially affect the feasibility of a project which may otherwise offer great promise in other markets. Korean franchisees prefer to do business with U.S. franchisors that offer established brand names to Korean consumers, as well as offering American-style, systematic operations and management skills.
Generally, there are four types of franchise investors in Korea:
Potential franchisors should also be aware of issues relating to the Korean Commission for Corporate Partnership (KCCP). One of KCCP's important roles is the designation of the industries reserved for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Once designated, store expansions can be limited to certain geographic areas or nationwide expansion can be limited to certain of number of stores. In 2013, the KCCP designated several business sectors, including bakeries and restaurants, and some manufacturing industries as reserved for SMEs. The restrictions applicable to the relevant industries are valid for 3 years and can be renewed for an additional 3 years.
Despite a very intense brick-and-mortar retail environment -- over 70 percent of direct sales in Korea are made via the Internet and the mobile commerce market. For more information on internet and mobile commerce, please read the eCommerce leading sector in Chapter 4 of this 2015 Korea CCG.
Door-to-door sales and multi-level marketing are other important direct sales channels. According to the Korea Direct Selling Association (KDSA: http://www.kdsa.or.kr), door-to-door sales and multi-level marketing sales reached approximately USD 12 billion in 2013 up from USD 11 billion in 2012. The most common products sold through direct selling are: wellness products (38 percent), cosmetics & personal care products (24 percent), and household goods and durable products (13 percent).

Door-to-Door Sales
Door-to-door sales remained at USD 8 billion from 2011 to 2013. According to the Korea Direct Selling Association (KDSA: http://www.kdsa.or.kr), the number of companies registered as door-to-door sales company decreased to 22,537 in 2013 from 26,711 in 2012 due to 'market restructuring' and the growth of eCommerce. This stagnant growth trend would remain in the future and could be a by-product of the growth in eCommerce.
Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)
Korea's multi-level marketing sales for 2013 approached USD 3.9 billion, which is a 27% increase from 2012 (USD 3.1 billion). The number of registered multi-level marketing companies in Korea has increased to more than 100. It is reported that these 100-plus multi-level marketing companies employ some 4 million sellers/distributors.
The Korean government reduced restrictions on MLM companies by passing legislation eliminating most existing market barriers against MLM products, such as the obligation to disclose retail prices on MLM product labels. Oversight of the MLM industry is the responsibility of the Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC).

MLM activity for U.S. products is concentrated in the cosmetics, cleaning products, health and wellness products, and kitchenware industries -- and has been expanding. MLM companies should promote their products and services appropriately and efficiently by carefully analyzing Korean market trends and sophisticated and mature Korean consumer. Accurate knowledge of the Korean retail and consumer market can prevent unnecessary conflicts with government agencies, consumer 'watchdog' groups, or industry groups. There are numerous consumer, business and industry associations, governmental groups and think-tanks which regularly collect valuable information on consumers and consumer-trends.
Koreans prefer to maintain local control of JV operations with foreign entities. Thus, the financial goals, internal organization and key management issues of a JV must be agreed upon by all involved parties as early as possible. Reaching such an 'agreement' can take time.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is encouraged and promoted by the Korean government. With the ratification and implementation of the KORUS FTA, greater cooperation and encouragement of FDI is expected. Korea will offer strong incentives to potential foreign investors in a bid to attract more foreign direct investment into Korea. President Park has assured the government's strong will to improve the foreign business environment and attract more FDI.
When considering FDI in Korea, it is important to consider the following:
Contractual Agreements in Korea
Well-written, well-understood, and well-executed contractual agreements are the basis and backbone to a U.S. firm's success in Korea. Cultural differences surrounding the expectations of a contractual agreement and how one successfully arrives at a mutually beneficial agreement is often the basis of consternation and challenges.
For Koreans:
Contract negotiations in Korea must be viewed as an on-going process of dialogue and should have the following objectives:
Additionally, the following precautions should be addressed:
Government Procurement
Korea is an established member of the World Trade Organization's Government Procurement Agency (GPA) protocols, with non-discriminatory government procurement procedures.
Korea's GPA commitments include:
U.S. companies interested in Korean government procurement must work with Korea's Public Procurement Service (PPS). It is highly recommended that U.S. firms have, and maintain, a reputable representative or agent in-country to carefully monitor PPS tender opportunities. Consult: http://www.pps.go.kr/english/.
PPS supports domestic/indigenous equipment and supplies. It is also responsible for the purchase of goods and incidental services required by central and sub-central government entities, government construction contracts and the stockpiling of raw materials. There are nine provinces in Korea, seven metropolitan cities, as well as numerous 'new cities' (Sejong City, Songdo City, and Hwaseong Dongtan, to name a few).
Bidders must register with PPS at least one business day prior to the date of an opening bid. Foreign bidders can register with PPS (Korean language only) prior to entering into a contract. Failure to register constitutes cause for rejection of the bid.
Korea has launched its Korea On-line E-Procurement System (KONEPS) at www.g2b.go.kr. In part, this system includes:
The KORUS FTA, in effect since March 15, 2012, has a chapter devoted to government procurement. Consult: http://www.ustr.gov/.
Defense Procurement
Defense procurement is an active part of CS Korea's portfolio. U.S. companies which sell both to foreign and U.S. military should be cognizant of the importance given to military procurement on the Korean peninsula.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA: http://www.dapa.go.kr/mbshome/mbs/dapa_eng/) is responsible for Korean defense procurement and was established to ensure transparency in the process. DAPA consolidates eight procurement and technology development organizations under the Ministry of National Defense (MND: www.mnd.go.kr/mndEng/main/index.jsp) and various military services. Although a civilian agency under the authority of the Executive Office of the President of Korea, DAPA works with the Minister of Defense and the service branches.
U.S. defense industry equipment standards are accepted in Korea as most Korean defense systems are based on American standards. Interoperability of systems is critical in what is now a 62-year U.S.-ROK defense partnership.
ROK defense products/equipment are acquired through a fairly sophisticated and mature procurement system which includes direct purchase, sales agents, and importer channels. U.S. manufacturers/suppliers of defense equipment should use a well-qualified/vetted Korean agent, familiar with the ROK defense system and knowledgeable of key members of the country's Air Force (ROKAF), Navy (ROKN), Army (ROKA), and Agency for Defense Development (ADD). CS Korea, through our Gold Key Service program, can assist U.S. defense companies in identifying a potential, well-qualified representative. Former (retired) ROKAF, ROKN, and ROK A officials have good potential as commissioned representatives in Korea. Local representatives must register and be certified by DAPA to supply their products and services to the MND. Consult: https://www.d2b.go.kr/English/jsp/index.jsp.
A well-selected representative will be able to provide their U.S. supplier/manufacturer with information about the status of defense bids and procurement plans. This is a very mature defense community. Thus, U.S. defense suppliers should only consider this market if they have a proven track record in the U.S. and/or in other Tier I countries.
Companies wanting to supply their products/systems to Korea's military are required to register with DAPA; this is a 10 day process. Consult: https://www.d2b.go.kr/English/jsp/index.jsp.
In 2011, the Korean Importers Association (KOIMA: http://www.import.or.kr/) became DAPA's sole source for legacy supplies and parts.
South Korea is 70 percent mountains, forcing it's nearly 50 million people into key population centers: Seoul metro area: 10+ million; Busan metro area: 3.5 million; Incheon metro area: 2.9 million; Daegu metro area: 2.5 million; and Daejeon metro area: 2 million. Most freight forwarders use an extensive network of first-class railways, 3,000 kilometers of highways, and air routes that crisscross the country.
Incheon, Gimpo, and Busan's first class airports and ports are the points of entry for most products. Products are then transferred by first-tier roads and railways to major modern distribution centers in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and Gwangyang. South Korea has 15 airports. Eight are international airports, including the world-class Incheon International Airport. Around 77 international passenger and cargo airlines operate frequent flights between Korea and many nations around the world (See Chapter 4 of this CCG and the Leading Aerospace Sector for additional information on Korea's airports).
The Port of Busan is the world's fifth largest cargo port. As well, Incheon Airport is building a new terminal (to be completed in 2017) and a new airport is being contemplated for Korea's southeastern Region presently being served by Busan's Gimhae Airport.
Distribution methods and the function of intermediaries vary widely by product in this mature market. Traditional retail distribution networks of small family-run stores, stalls in markets, and street vendors are being replaced by large discount stores.
In mid-2012, as part of Korea's efforts to protect small "mom-and-pop" stores, under the auspices of "economic democratization," the government imposed a rule closing big-box discount chains on Sundays. Many major retailers initially ignored the restriction. The government then imposed financial penalties, which eventually led to compliance, with major retailers closing stores on the second and fourth Sunday of each month as of late 2012.
Korea's major cities have numerous fashionable and expensive large department stores and boutiques. Thousands of second-tier and third-tier retail stores also abound. Full-Line Discount Stores (FDS) have gained in popularity, as have U.S.-based Costco, which entered the Korean FDS market more than 10 years ago and is successfully competing against Korean rivals E-Mart, and Lotte Mart as well as Homeplus by TESCO, a UK retailer.
The rapid expansion of discount chain stores is planned nationwide, with suburban satellite cities attracting the greatest number of stores. Distribution of goods through large discount chains is one of the best ways to market foreign products to Korean consumers.
It should also be noted that parallel imports can legally enter Korea. Many U.S. companies continue to give exclusive contracts, since territorial limits in neighboring countries enhance the value of an exclusive area in any one country. Any parallel importer in Korea, not receiving the support of the OEM, and not dealing with a meaningful volume of product, cannot be guaranteed a steady source of income. The legitimate exclusive distributor still has considerable advantages in Korea.
A handful of Korea's highly successful and sophisticated retailers contacted CS Korea in from 2012 to the present seeking introductions to U.S. name-brand retailers and anchor stores for their three to five year mall construction plans.
CS Korea, in 2013, completed a 15-page Industry Sector Analysis (ISA) on the Retail Sector. This document can be found under 'market research' on CS Korea's website www.export.gov/souothkorea, or by going to: http://www.buyusainfo.net/docs/x_5923414.pdf.
As well, CS Korea in April 2015 completed a 16-page International Market Insight (IMI) describing how Koreans make purchases from foreign online retailers. This IMI document can be found under 'market research' on the CS Korea's website www.export.gov/southkorea, or by going to: http://buyusainfo.net/docs/x_958961.pdf.
Korea is a country with intense, demanding and eager consumers. As well, Korea's retail sector is popular among the over 6M Chinese visitors (as of 2014) that visit Korea every year (up from 4.3M in 2013). U.S. companies wanting to sell into this market should endeavor to follow these guidelines:
E-commerce is a key component of the overall consumer market in Korea, a country with nearly 100 percent broadband Internet penetration, and over 70 percent smartphone phone penetration.
The domestic eCommerce industry in 2014 was $43 billion, up from $36 billion in 2013. Korea's eCommerce industry is about 16.9 percent of Korea's total retail industry and is worth about $253 billion. Given Koreans' propensity to do everything on-line, eCommerce is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
Online purchases from foreign, non-Korean retailers have also been rapidly increasing as Koreans find less expensive prices on overseas websites even after adding-in international shipping fees and import duties. Online purchases by Koreans reached $1.5 billion in 2014, up from $274 million in 2010. In 2015, on-line purchases from foreign retailers are expected to grow to become one percent of Korea's total retail industry.
Many Koreans plan to increase their foreign, on-line purchases which are expected to reach $8 billion by 2018. U.S. firms should carefully develop a thorough strategy for promoting their products to Korean consumers via E-commerce.
CS Korea completed a 16-page International Market Insight (IMI; April 2015) describing how Koreans make purchases from foreign online retailers. This IMI document can be found under 'market research' on the CS Korea's website www.export.gov/southkorea, or by going to: http://buyusainfo.net/docs/x_958961.pdf.
The U.S. Government's primary trade promotion agency in South Korea is the U.S. Commercial Service. Located at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, it is an agency within the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration.
Consult: http://www.export.gov/southkorea.
In Korea, the Commercial Service works with numerous trading and commercial entities, to include:
Korea hosts many trade shows and exhibitions each year. Historically, many of these shows are highly focused on B2C activities and, thus, not necessarily attractive to U.S. firms interested in meeting qualified companies, versus end-users. The following trade facilities and event schedules may be of interest to U.S. firms:
A geographically small country, Korea is an exciting place to launch effective, sophisticated, state-of-the-art advertising. Korean advertisers are highly creative and utilize a host of media to capture the consumer's attention.
Particular aspects of Korea's advertising market include:
Launched on December 1, 2011, four new nationwide general networks supplement existing conventional free-to-air TV networks like KBS, MBC, SBS and other smaller channels. Unlike land-based television channels, new comprehensive programming channels can be broadcast for 24 hours and commercial breaks are allowed. In Korea, over 80% of the population is watching cable or satellite TV, so the influence of these comprehensive programming channels is strong.
In Korea's export-driven economy, price competitiveness is a sensitive factor. Korean manufacturers try to purchase lower-priced raw materials or equipment, while also looking for quality.
Korean buyers generally consider that U.S. goods:
Pricing in Korea:
1. Denomination, use, ingredients, material quality, performance, size, price, capacity, permitted number of goods and contents of services
2. Name (including address and telephone number) of the enterprise that has manufactured, imported, sold or provided goods, etc., and the origin of the goods
3. Method of use, matters of caution and warning in use and keeping
4. Date of manufacture, quality guarantee period or, in case of goods such as foods, medicine etc., which are apt to be altered in the course of distribution, the validity period of such goods
5. Dimension, location and method of indication, and
6. Organization (including its address and telephone number) and method of settlement for any complaint on goods etc., or any consumer's damage due to goods, etc.
Commissions in Korea are dependent upon the type of products and the transaction amount. For larger contracts, commissions generally decline as the contract value for a major purchase/acquisition/contract increases.
Considered secondary to product and price considerations, after-sales service in Korea is often found lacking by foreign suppliers. After-sales service and customer support by Korea's big conglomerates such as Samsung and LG are often seen as better than that offered by global enterprises or international SMEs. Korean consumers are very demanding in terms of customer support. After sales service and customer service should be managed closely, especially given the competition of third countries in this market. Servicing is/should be an important component of the 'sale.'
The best approaches to after-sales service and customer support include:
Introduction on Intellectual Property Rights in Korea
In Korea, registration of patents and trademarks is on a first-in-time, first-in-right basis. Consider applying for trademark and patent protection before selling your products or services in Korea.
For U.S. small- and medium-size companies, the U.S. Department of Commerce provides one hour of free legal advice via the "SME IP Advisory Program" of the American Bar Association. Consult: http://apps.americanbar.org/intlaw/intlproj/iprprogram_attorneys.html.
Protecting Your Intellectual Property in the Republic of Korea
Several general principles are important for effective management of intellectual property (IP) rights in Korea. First, it is important to have an overall strategy to protect your IP. Second, IP is protected differently in the Korean market than in the U.S. Third, rights must be registered and enforced in Korea, under local laws.
Your U.S. trademark and patent registrations will not protect you in the Korean market. There is no such thing as an "international copyright" that will automatically protect an author's writings throughout the entire world. Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends, basically, on the national laws of that country. However, most countries do offer copyright protection to foreign works under certain conditions, and these conditions have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions.
Registration of patents and trademarks is on a first-in-time, first-in-right basis, so you should consider applying for trademark and patent protection even before selling your products or services in the Korean market. It is vital that companies understand that intellectual property is primarily a private right and that the U.S. government generally cannot enforce rights for private individuals in Korea. It is the responsibility of the rights holders to register, protect, and enforce their rights where relevant, retaining their own counsel and advisors. Companies may wish to seek advice from local attorneys or IP consultants expert in Korean IPR law. The U.S. Commercial Service can provide a list of local lawyers, upon request. Please consult: http://export.gov/southkorea/usefullinks/lawfirms/index.asp.
While the U.S. Government stands ready to assist, there is little that can be done if rights holders have not taken the fundamental steps necessary to secure and enforce their IP in a timely fashion. Moreover, in many countries, rights holders who delay enforcing rights in a mistaken belief that the USG can provide a political resolution to a legal problem may find that their rights have been eroded or abrogated due to legal doctrines such as statutes of limitation, laches, estoppel, or unreasonable delay in prosecuting a law suit. In no instance should U.S. Government advice be seen as a substitute for the obligation of a rights holder to promptly pursue its case.
It is always advisable to conduct due diligence on potential partners. Negotiate from the position of your partner and give your partner clear incentives to honor the contract. A good partner is an important ally in protecting IP rights. Consider carefully, however, whether to permit your partner to register your IP rights on your behalf. Doing so may create a risk that your partner will list himself as the IP owner and fail to transfer the rights should the partnership end. Keep an eye on your cost structure and reduce the margins (and incentive) of would-be bad actors. Projects and sales in Korea require constant attention. Work with legal counsel familiar with Korean law to create a solid contract that includes non-compete clauses and confidentiality/non-disclosure provisions.
It is also recommended that small- and medium-sized companies understand the importance of working with trade associations and other organizations to support efforts to protect IP and stop counterfeiting. There are a number of these organizations, both Korea-based and U.S.-based. These include:
IP Resources
A wealth of information on protecting IP is freely available to U.S. rights holders. Some excellent resources for companies regarding intellectual property include the following:
Conducting a thorough due diligence check is critical when selecting a local partner for a joint venture, licensing, and distribution. A due diligence check should include:
CS Korea offers a fee-based service called the International Country Profile (ICP): http://export.gov/southkorea/servicesforuscompanies/icp/index.asp. The ICP includes the above information, obtained by the Commercial Service in Korea, in addition to a visit to the office of the Korean company, as well as obtaining financial information from D&B Korea Co., Ltd. (http://www.dnbasia.com/kr/english/sitemap/) and Kroll International (http://www.kroll.com/), both of which also provide due diligence reports.

New Plan To Save The Euro: Sell T-Shirts!
Via what appears to be France's answer to Kickstarter:
We think that the European Union (EU) is the first real concrete experiment that tries to connect 500 million people. We also think that the EU has lots of problem to communicate. It is quite normal, when you try to put 27 different countries around a table and speak with one voice. Just imagine when you put 27 of your own friends in the same room, trying to decide where to go for dinner.
So we decided to make something different and communicate without languages and words and translations. We wanted to just have nice-looking designs and images.
In other words: They're selling t-shirts commemorating, among other things, a former French foreign minister (who was really into the idea of a European Union) and a treaty (that created the euro).
And they have a video to prove it.

It's time to transform corporate governance. Innovation and technology can simplify and improve board development and management.
Virtually every aspect of corporate America has been affected by the adoption of new technology. Social networks and collaboration technologies are revolutionizing and changing the way companies are run, products are made, information is shared and the way employees are recruited.
There is one aspect of nonprofit, private and public companies, however, that has made little or no progress when it comes to innovation — the way corporate boards are recruited and managed.
Corporate America is fully aware that this process is flawed. Most recently, headlines from scandals that have occurred at Best Buy, Chesapeake Energy, Groupon, Wal-Mart and Yahoo have put the spotlight on corporate governance. Besides a general disdain for illegal and deplorable actions, corporate boards have suddenly felt the pressure to fortify their teams with the same virtues they always strived for, with an increased emphasis on personal and professional integrity....

Remember when you were a kid and the toys that came inside cereal boxes basically determined which brand you convinced your parents to purchase (or at least tried to—we usually failed miserably)? There were stickers, plastic cartoon characters, even rings. All you had to do was dust all the sugar off, and that prize was yours. Those were the days.
But now we know better. Instead of looking for prizes, we look for good, wholesome, all-natural ingredients, checking that whole grains are listed at the top and sugar (the real kind) is closer to the bottom. This is why we were so unbelievably excited to find a prize in the bottom of our box of Kashi GoLean Crunch! Our go-to breakfast is a bowl of GoLean Crunch, Heart to Heart and fruit, usually a banana or blueberries, because it's healthy, delicious and easy to whip up, no matter where you are. Who knew you could get a prize for making a good-for-you decision?!
So not to knock the stickers and figurines of our past, but this prize was way better, too. Kashi teamed up with Gaiam to create sampler workout DVDs with Trudie Styler, and one is in every box of GoLean Crunch. Unfortunately, her lovely husband, Sting, does not make a cameo, but our free Get Balanced DVD does feature two solid, easy-to-follow, 10-minute routines, Warrior Yoga Express and Core Strength Pilates Express. So for less than $4 you get a 20-minute workout and a healthy breakfast—now that sounds grrrrrreeeeeaaatt!

Asthenosphere is a venerable concept based on geological intuition of Reginald Daly nearly 100 years ago. There have been various explanations for the existence of the asthenosphere. The concept of a plume-fed asthenosphere has been around for a few years due to the ideas put forth by Yamamoto et al.. Using a two-dimensional Cartesian code based on finite-volume method, we have investigated the influences of lower-mantle physical properties on the formation of a low-viscosity zone in the oceanic upper mantle in regions close to a large mantle upwelling. The rheological law is Newtonian and depends on both temperature and depth. An extended-Boussinesq model is assumed for the energetics and the olivine to spinel, the spinel to perovskite and perovskite to post-perovskite (ppv) phase transitions are considered. We have compared the differences in the behavior of hot upwellings passing through the transition zone in the mid-mantle for a variety of models, starting with constant physical properties in the lower-mantle and culminating with complex models which have the post-perovskite phase transition and depth-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity. We found that the formation of the asthenosphere in the upper mantle in the vicinity of large upwellings is facilitated in models where both depth-dependent thermal expansivity and conductivity are included. Models with constant thermal expansivity and thermal conductivity do not produce a hot low-viscosity zone, resembling the asthenosphere. We have also studied the influences of a cylindrical model and found similar results as the Cartesian model with the important difference that upper-mantle temperatures were much cooler than the Cartesian model by about 600 to 700 K. Our findings argue for the potentially important role played by lower-mantle material properties on the development of a plume-fed asthenosphere in the oceanic upper mantle.

I'm getting a 404 error and not able to get my WP login credentials -
Here's my problem:
1. - I went into WP General Settings and changed the WP Address (URL). The address I used was for a different site.
2. - In Addition, in the General Settings I also changed the Site Address (URL). Again the address I used was for a different site.
After I refreshed, WP kicked me out and I can no longer get back in. I should also mention that the current site was in MAINTENANCE MODE. Furthermore, I checked the wp_config.php file and did a system restore to a previous date but still getting the 404 error page.
I'm not very technical, what should I do or try next?

Images of astounding sharpness, augmented by natural blur effects. Tamron's classic 90mm Macro lens is reborn to let you shoot even more beautiful, exquisite images. Compatible with full-size SLR cameras, this new, high-resolution macro lens lets the photographer capture the moment's atmosphere at will.
VC (Vibration Compensation)
VC (Vibration Compensation) is Tamron's proprietary image stabilization system. Tamron's VC is a three-coil system, whereby three driving coils activate the shake-compensating VC lens group electromagnetically via three ceramic balls. The VC lens elements are held in place only by contact with the ceramic balls, achieving smooth movement with little friction. This provides a stable viewfinder image with excellent tracking performance. And as the VC lens may be moved in parallel using only the motorized control, the mechanical structure has been simplified, enabling the creation of a more compact lens.
The Ultrasonic Motor
In the ultrasonic motor, a piezoelectric element arranged in a ring formation generates ultrasonic vibrations in a metallic ring stator, and the vibration energy is used to rotate a metallic ring rotor that is attached to the stator. The rotation energy is in turn transferred from the metallic ring rotor to operate the focus lens.
What is the eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating?
eBAND Coating, developed by Tamron, is a new coating technique that drastically improves anti-reflection properties. A nano-structured layer (1nm = 1/1,000,000mm) with dimensions smaller than the wavelengths of visible rays of light is deployed on top of multiple coating layers to maximize efficiency.
The nano-structure of the eBAND Coating renders an extremely low refractive index by minimizing the differential with that of air while actively inducing air to its own structure, thus significantly suppressing the extent and degree of reflections.
Through integration with the conventional anti-reflection multi-layer coating technique, attenuating surface reflections utilizing the interference effect between two reflected rays, reflections are well controlled over a broader range of bandwidths and incident angles.
As a hybrid technology between the newlydeveloped nano-structured layer with an extremely low refractive index and conventional multiple-layer coatings, the eBAND Coating provides superb anti-reflection performance, delivering crisp, razor sharp images, and remarkably eliminating the flare and ghosting that can tangibly damage image quality.
Lens Construction 14 elements in 11 groups Minimum aperture (W) F32 Filter size 58mm Angle of view (35mm equivalent) 27° Minimum focusing distance 30cm Dimensions (Diameter x Length) 76.4 x 122.9mm Number of diaphragm blades 9 Maximum magnification ratio 1 : 1 Weight 550g

recently i discovered the world of Google Fonts, and there's some really great stuff. Than i noticed that Purple Pro uses such a font but with all the generated files, including a stylesheet, from fontsquirrel.com.
So ilooked around there and got a bunch of my own choosing - but, now i ask myself how do i add in additional fonts with Purple Pro?? (Especially since i run a child theme of it, Purple Pro Fluid).
The "fonts" folder of PP is obviousely set up for that one font only, Dosis, no additional font can be added in there because the stylesheet for each font is always called stylesheet.css.
How do i do this??
Do i just add the style from any other fonts stylesheet to the existing one, so that i would, say, end up with 4 different font styles in one single stylesheet.css file and have ALL 4 fotns files in the very single "fonts" folder,
or, would i have to put every font in seperate folders - and thus create an increasingly complicated folder structure to fetch each font from)??
Any useful tips on this??

Pros: storage size, price
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I've had these in my computer for 2+ years, I maxed out my DIMM with 4 of these (32 GB), although I typically don't even use half that much with regular use. After several hours they do seem to get hot, but I have a fan blowing over them just in case.READ FULL REVIEW

This review is from: MASSCOOL FDC08025S1M 80mm Cooling Fan
Pros: The flow rate seems accurate (~30+ CFM)
Cons: Sound Level and Noise
Other Thoughts: I purchased 3 of these fans, along with different amounts of various other fans (from newegg), to physically compare them knowing some of my purchases would make it to the trash. I was looking for optimal trade off between flow rate and sound level. These fans did start off quiet (maybe the advertised 22 dBA), but got louder over months. Two developed an additional vibrational noise, which I wasn't able to get rid of by: A) fiddling with them, B) adding (some sort of) oil to what I believe were the bearings, or finally C) hitting them hard or D) real hard.READ FULL REVIEW

If you're still in a walrus-friendly mood, you might want to watch a different walrus do a full physical workout: so play this video, too.

Argentina's Congress Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage
Argentina became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriages after an early morning Senate vote overcame lobbying by the Roman Catholic Church.
Following a 14-hour debate, the upper house voted 33-to-27 to approve the bill, which was passed by the lower chamber in May and is backed by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
"This is a very significant step on the way to equality," said Senator Miguel Pichetto, head of the ruling coalition bloc, after the vote. "Having approved the bill is a very positive fact that moves forward the principles of equality and freedom."
Thousands of people marched in Buenos Aires streets in the past days at rallies in favor and against same-sex marriage. Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio said July 8 that the proposal isn't "a political fight but an intention to destroy God's plan," according to newspaper InfoBae.com.
To become law, the bill has to be signed by Fernandez and published in the country's official gazette.
"Today's historic vote shows how far Catholic Argentina has come, from dictatorship to true democratic values, and how far the freedom-to-marry movement has come as 12 countries on four continents now embrace marriage equality," Evan Wolfson, the executive director of the New York-based Freedom to Marry organization, said in an e-mail statement.
The city of Buenos Aires has since 2003 allowed gay couples to enter into civil unions, which gave health-insurance benefits to spouses of city employees and forced a city-run bank to offer joint loans to same-sex couples.
Still, the law didn't allow them to adopt or give them rights to inheritance, according to Gustavo Lopez, a lawyer of the government-run Argentine Anti-Discrimination office.
Full marriage "recognizes families that already exist and protects them," Lopez said. "The state has an obligation to protect all families."
Mexico City allows gay marriage and permits same-sex couples to adopt. Uruguay permits civil unions.

When I upgraded from 2.7 something to 2.8 same thing. Now from 2.8 to 2.8.1 same issue. I have to manual delete the wp include file and upload that file again via an ftp site. The text/diff file has permissions so I have no idea why this is happening.
Any suggestions?

In Hungarian, we have two words for the noun "love". One of them, "szeretet", describes your feelings for your family, or a movie, a food, etc., the other one, "szerelem", describes your feeling for you significant other, when you have butterflies in your stomach (you can say the first version here, too, but this one is more specific than the other). In the title, I wished to use the first meaning.
In this year, I plan to make 52 pieces of artwork, and this is the 7th. OvO I'll submit the other ones as well.

When you think about Grambling State and Jackson State playing for the SWAC championship on Saturday at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala., it's hard to imagine a better matchup.
They have been the two best teams in the conference over the past two years.
Moreover, for the second straight year, Grambling State and Jackson State will battle for the SWAC title.
It's certainly going to be an interesting contest between these two teams that have established quite a rivalry.
There's also some history surrounding this game. On Sept. 20, the G-men defeated JSU 14-5 at Grambling.
Last year, Grambling State topped Jackson State 30-20 in Jackson during the regular season, but the JSU Tigers came back with a 42-31 victory to capture the SWAC crown.
It's hard to determine which team has the edge. Jackson State (7-4 overall, 6-1 league) won the Eastern Division title after beating Alabama A&M. Grambling State (10-2 overall, 7-0 league) is coming off a big win over Southern in the Bayou Classic to clinch the Western Division championship.
It looks like Greg Dillon has been the difference-maker for the G-men. Grambling State coach Rod Broadway has been pleased with Dillon, the Tigers' sophomore quarterback. The 6-foot, 200-pound signal caller has thrown for 1,242 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has rushed for 676 yards and three TDs. Broadway knows Dillon can make things happen with the ball in his hands.
"He has some ability to do some things like running the ball and throwing the ball," Broadway said. "It's hard for a defense to prepare for a guy like that. If we can get him to be a little bit more protective of the football, the sky is the limit as far as his career here."
Dillon does put a lot of pressure on the defense. His playmaking ability causes a lot of problems.
On the other side of the ledger, Jackson State has been a strong defensive team all season long.
The Tigers are led by linebacker Marcellus Speaks (115 total tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss), defensive end Marcus Benard (15 sacks, 22.5 tackles for loss) and defensive back Domonique Johnson (four interceptions, 13 pass breakups).
Jackson State coach Rick Comegy will rely on his defensive stalwarts to slow Dillon down.
"He's a get-out-of-the-pocket-type guy," Comegy said. "He's a tough quarterback. You really hate to see a guy step up in there like that. You have to make sure that you try to keep him in control and hope that he doesn't go out and make a lot of big plays. You can't sit there and spy on him all day long. I think it hurts your football team. You just play him the best way you can and try to keep him under control."
The SWAC championship game usually comes down to who makes the most plays. Two of the league's best teams will try to find a way to get it done as they go for all the marbles in the final game.
HBCU notes
• Jackson State's Lindsey Hunter and Sam Jefferson, Grambling State's Fred Lewis, Mississippi Valley State's Doug Porter and Southern's Carl Williams will be inducted into the SWAC Hall of Fame this weekend as a part of the championship festivities.
• Jackson State offensive tackle Mikael Harshaw had a sensational season. Harshaw, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound junior, is a key member of the Tigers' offensive line that allowed only 26 quarterback sacks.
• Grambling State remains No. 1 in the Sheridan Broadcasting Network Black College Football Poll. The Tigers have been in the top spot for the last two weeks.
• South Carolina State running back Will Ford should be one of the top players in HBCU football next year. Ford led the Bulldogs to the MEAC championship and the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. He was named the conference offensive Player of the Year.
• Speaking of South Carolina State, the Bulldogs had an impressive showing in their 37-21 playoff loss to defending champion Appalachian State. This was South Carolina State's first playoff appearance since 1982.
• Howard wide receiver Willie Carter could be a player to watch down the road. Carter snared 44 passes for 477 yards (10.8 yards per reception) and earned MEAC Rookie of the Year honors.

3 Reasons Why the Number of Home-Based Small Businesses is Booming
Fifty-two percent of all small businesses in the United States are home-based. The benefits of starting a home-based small business are myriad, and one of the most obvious is completely eliminating the dreaded commute to the office. Most Americans, according to a Gallup poll, spend an average of approximately 50 minutes a day commuting to and from their offices. In addition to no commute time, the following three benefits are just some of the reasons why home-based businesses are rapidly becoming the fastest growing form of business start-ups in the country

'Bullhead,' 'Pina,' 'A Separation' included on foreign language shortlist
The biggest surprise about the nine-film shortlist for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar is, well, how unsurprising it is. Seven of the titles I predicted yesterday are on it; the two films I didn't, Morocco's "Omar Killed Me" and Taiwan's "Warriors of the Rainbow," are the kind of could-have-been-anything choices that we know to expect (or not to expect, as it were) by now. Presumed frontrunner "A Separation" naturally made the cut and festival favorites "Pina" and "Bullhead" are present and correct -- as is the semi-obligatory annual Holocaust drama, in the shape of Agnieszka Holland's "In Darkness." Check, check, check.
The general predictability of the list makes it harder than usual to speculate what three films may have been rescued by the executive committee. There's nothing as outwardly subversive as "Dogtooth" or "Confessions" in the group, which suggests to me that the committee may have had their hands full saving consensus critical favorites: if they really did have to come to the rescue of a film like "A Separation," as has been rumored, that narrows the window for a truly "difficult" film like "The Turin Horse" to slide in.
The omissions? Many will be surprised that Cannes critics' darling "Le Havre" and Toronto Audience Award winner "Where Do We Go Now?" missed the cut, but I anticipated their absence yesterday -- both have eccentric tonal transitions that I imagine turned off some voters, and neither film, for my money, ranks as their director's strongest work.
More eyebrow-raising, perhaps, is the exclusion of France's "Declaration of War," a strong, heartfelt story of parents battling their child's terminal disease (based on director-star Valerie Donizelli's own experience) that I, like many pundits, thought would hit the voters where they live; it's the second year in a row that the French, usually a fixture in the category, have failed to make even the shortlist. It's one of two films I incorrectly predicted yesterday: the other, Mexico's superbly steely drug-war thriller "Miss Bala," was always going to be a tougher sell, though I was optimistically hoping the committee might be persuaded by the critical buzz around it.
The one inclusion I do suspect firmly suspect the committee might have had a hand in is "Warriors of the Rainbow," an extravagant, 276-minute action epic that isn't really in the Academy's regular wheelhouse; I missed the film at Venice, where it received mixed reviews, but I've spoken to enough critics who didn't to know its advocates are fervent ones. (It's also possible the committee wanted at least one Asian film on the list for the sake of form, and thought this the most enticing of the lot -- Zhang Yimou's Christian Bale-starring "The Flowers of War" may have the profile, but the response to it has been tepid thus far.)
I'm annoyed that I didn't see Morocco's "Omar Killed Me" coming -- the film, a French-set penal-system drama directed by "Days of Glory" star Roschdy Zem, is probably the selection causing the most head-scratching today, but based on early reviews, I liked its chances when it was submitted back in August. ("Could be one to watch," I wrote -- I should have listened to myself.) Interestingly, it's the second your running that France's thunder has been stolen in this category by a semi-French production from a former colony. (Between that and Canada's "Monsieur Lazhar," it's possible the executive committee thought French-language filmmaking was well enough represented without throwing "Declaration of War" into the mix too.)
Critically, I can't offer much perspective on the list, as I've still only seen four of the nine films -- some major catch-up work awaits, though I haven't yet had an opportunity to see most of the other five. My predictions for the category, meanwhile, remain largely unchanged; The Contenders page will be updated shortly.
Here's the shortlist:
Belgium, "Bullhead," Michael R. Roskam, director
Canada, "Monsieur Lazhar," Philippe Falardeau, director
Denmark, "Superclásico," Ole Christian Madsen, director
Germany, "Pina," Wim Wenders, director
Iran, "A Separation," Asghar Farhadi, director
Israel, "Footnote," Joseph Cedar, director
Morocco, "Omar Killed Me," Roschdy Zem, director
Poland, "In Darkness," Agnieszka Holland, director
Taiwan, "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale," Wei Te-sheng, director
