Las tarjetas de crédito: una bendición o un demonio recién salido del infierno. Tienen sus ventajas y desventajas, pero lo que sí es seguro es que ¡no son para todos!y por supuesto “One size does not fit all” o lo que es lo mismo: no todas las tarjetas son iguales.“All these things reflect Marilyn’s vulnerability,” Nancy Valentino said.

For example, Volume 33 of the Annals of King Taejong, covering February of the 17th year of his reign (1417), contains the statement that “Royal Inspector Kim In-u returned from Usan Island and brought local products as tribute, including large bamboos […]. There were about fifteen families living on the island for a total of 86 men and women.” (按撫使金麟雨還自于山島獻土産大竹水牛皮生苧綿子撿撲木等物且率居人三名以来其島戸凡十五口男女并八十六) However, there is no bamboo on Takeshima, nor could 86 people live there.

However, no proof has been found for the ROK's claim that the Usan Island in Korean period documents is in fact the current Takeshima.

For example, in (Revised and Augmented Edition of the Survey of the Geography of Korea: 1531), the ROK claims that the two islands of Usan and Utsuryo are listed as being in the sea to the east of the prefecture of Uljin, which means that this Usan Island is Takeshima. These documents do not contain anything specific regarding Usan Island; they contain only writings concerning Utsuryo Island.

On October 27 and 28, 1999, Christie’s held a noisy, highly publicized auction of Marilyn Monroe’s personal belongings, “a veritable time capsule of a great Hollywood icon,” according to Nancy Valentino, a senior vice president at the auction house.

Valentino estimated that the take from the Monroe auction would fall somewhere between the .7 million raised by the 1997 sale of dresses worn by Princess Diana and the .5 million earned the year before from the auction of Jackie Onassis’s things.
