The city of Seoul is planning to use storytelling as a
marketing tool to make the capital city as fun as a barrel of monkeys

city which hold their sui generis historical story with the help of
foreign language manuals.

Mobility Aid Approved
A wearable, computer-controlled brace that has enabled
dozens of Europeans with paralysis to walk won FDA approval in the U.S. on
Friday. Someone using ReWalk, the brainchild of inventor Amit Goffer,

and a remote control on his wrist. Everything that powers the technology fits snug
as a bug in a rug into a small backpack.
