Wednesday, February 25, 2009

According to official figures, Japan’s exports dropped by 46% in January compared to a year ago, the lowest statistics ever to be recorded.

Japan’s exports to the United States plunged by almost 53% in January, with car shipments down by 81%. Exports to the European Union fell by 47%.

The Finance Ministry stated that the trade deficit was 952.6 billion yen (US$9.9 billion), the largest deficit ever recorded. The country’s trade deficit with China increased by 61% to 562.7 billion yen (US$5.86 billion).

“Japan is particularly vulnerable to this downturn because trade is so central to the economy,” said Pascal Lamy, head of the World Trade Organization in a statement during a press conference today.

The demand for Japanese automobiles was hit particularly hard, plunging by 69%. Demand for electronic goods also dropped substantially.

Last week, the government announced that the country’s economy had shrunk at an annualised rate of 12.7% in the last quarter of last year, the fastest contraction in nearly 35 years.

Admin November 24, 2021

Thursday, June 12, 2008

2008 The 2nd-annual Google Developer Day started its tournament in Pasifico Yokohama, Japan as its first stage. According to Google, this programmer-based event is similar to Google I/O, the largest programming event which is only available in USA and held earlier on May 28 & 29 in San Francisco, California.

Takuya Oikawa, Software Engineer of Google Japan, analyzed the future trend on programming and redefined the “3C”. “There are three key features to drive on the next generation programming, that is, ‘Client’ [user-oriented], ‘Connectivity’, and ‘Cloud Computing‘,” stated Oikawa.

Fumitoshi Ukai, the Software Engineer of Google Japan, has pointed out the importance of Google App Engine, and performed a SWOT analysis using the Sichuan earthquake as an example, and said: “The failure or success of Cloud Computing will be determined by three critical factors – ability of offline computing, language support, and quotas of databases.”

After the Japan Stage, 2008 Google Developer Day will be held in China, Taiwan, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil during the month of June. The Europe Tour of Google Developer Day will kick off from London, England on September 16.

A Selection Of Great Lego Creator Games

Admin November 23, 2021

By Alan Selby

Lego creator games allow your child and probably the child in most adults, to design their own world. These game or building sets can almost all be added onto easily from other creator games. They permit the child to have fun using hands on creativity, but they are also learning and making decisions in the process. The intricate detailing on most Lego sets brings the world of play time alive for children. Adults can also enjoy working with the creator sets with their kids and spending true quality time together. They may also enjoy building their own designs when the kids are away. Anyway your children will continue the assigned task they need to complete until it is finished in order to proceed to the next level of the game. That’s just the way the games are constructed, they’re a lot of fun.

The Lego creator buildings include such selections as the Lego Model Townhouse. A beautiful building with a red entrance and decorator windows and even a garage to house the convertible car. The Lego Family Home replete with an awning, rain gutters and spout. In the back yard you’ll find a hot tub, picnic table and a lounge chair.

Another option when you’re tired of working on the family home is to go to the Lego Beach House. Here the house can be assembled as tall or as wide as you desire. It wouldn’t be complete without a gas grill and the satellite dish that adorns the roof gives it a touch of reality. While checking out the roof you’ll also notice there are skylights as well.

The Fire Brigade creator set is a two story fire garage. There are firefighters and of course inside the building a real fire engine that you get to assemble. The building is done up in the traditional fire station design with great detail even including the American flag and a brass fire station bell.

If you’re looking for that Christmas gift or just want to get into the holiday winter season, than the Winter Toy Shop might be what you want. There are figure in their winter gear and the Christmas carolers on the street truly set it off for the season. It wouldn’t be complete without the carefully detailed toys and the Christmas tree.

The Lego board games that allow for the interaction of from two to four players and truly put children minds into motion by creating scenarios to go with the game and making decisions as they encounter obstacles that need to be overcome to move on to the next level or proceed to the finish line, include the following.

The Minotaurs game is a lot of fun to build and the competitive play angle of the game teaches about the art of defensive playing. You need to get to the temple first and avoid the Minotaur and the efforts of your opponents to stop you from succeeding.

If you’re looking for that perfect Halloween holiday board game for the little one that the Monster 4 game would be the choice. You first get to assemble your monsters in where else, but the graveyard. Then you head out from there with the scarey game play.

The Lava Dragon game allows your children to become a brave Lego knight and proceed to climb the volcano, all the while avoiding the lava flows and the other game competitors attempts to block their ascent of the volcano.

Rounding out this small review of board games is the Harry Potter Hogwarts game. Here the kids get to delve into another side of the popular books and movies with all the wizardry. The object of the game is to make your way through the building, collecting your homework as you go, all the while being challenged by moving staircases and secret passages It gets kids into discussions of the stories and creating their own versions as well.

Iranian International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career with Wikinews

Admin November 20, 2021

Tuesday, April 14, 2020

In February 2017, the Iranian Chess Federation announced two teenage chess players, Dorsa Derakhshani and her younger brother Borna Derakhshani, were banned from representing the national team. The federation announced their decision although Dorsa Derakhshani had previously decided and informed the chess federation she did not wish to play for Iran.

Dorsa Derakhshani is currently 21 years old and holds the International Master (IM) as well as Woman Grand Master (WGM) titles. Her brother, Borna, plays for the English Federation and holds the FIDE Master title.

Dorsa Derakhshani was banned since she did not wear a hijab, an Islamic headscarf, while competing at the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival in January 2017. Under the laws of Islamic Republic of Iran, hijab is a mandatory dress code. Her brother Borna Deraskhsani was banned for playing against Israeli Grand Master (GM) Alexander Huzman at the same tournament. Iran does not recognise the existence of Israel, and previously, Irani athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes.

Mehrdad Pahlavanzadeh, the president of the country’s chess federation, explained the decision to ban the players saying, “As a first step, these two will be denied entry to all tournaments taking place in Iran and in the name of Iran, they will no longer be allowed the opportunity to be present on the national team.” ((fa))Farsi language: ?????? ????? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ????? ?? ?? ???? ???????? ?? ?? ????? ? ?? ??? ????? ?????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ???? ???? ???? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??????? ????. He further stated, “Unfortunately, something that should not have happened has happened and our national interest is paramount and we have reported this position to the Ministry of Sports.” ((fa))Farsi language: ????????? ?????? ?? ????? ????????? ?????? ??? ? ????? ??? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?????? ???? ? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ????? ???? ?? ????? ?????.

IM Dorsa Derakhshani, who currently studies at Saint Louis University in the United States and plays for the United States Chess Federation, discussed her chess career, time in Iran and the 2017 controversy, and her life in Saint Louis with a Wikinews correspondent.

How to dress for a hot date

by

Bailey Cooper

Deciding what to wear on a date can be almost as exciting as the date itself,especially if you’re into women’s fashion.What look will you go for? What accessories will you choose?It’s especially exciting if it’s your first date with someone. The old adage that first impressions count is a true one,so the right choice of women’s fashion on a date could make all the difference.

It’s really important to look good for your date because looking good helps you to feel confident and comfortable,attractive qualities in anyone.Plus,if you’re feeling good,you’re more likely to have fun on the date! It’s about bringing out what’s on the inside as well as enhancing what’s on the outside.

The trick is to strike the right note between demure and attractive.As fun as it would be to unleash your inner vamp,a date is not the place to do it especially in the early stages. You want to look beautiful in an approachable way,not a scary way, so put away the leather trousers, low-cut tops and wobbly stilettos.

When it comes to great date wear,the world of women’s dresses is your friend.Try a cute floral print for a really feminine look or,if you want to look more sophisticated,get out the little black dress.If youre going down the little black dress route,make sure it’s not one that shows off too much leg and cleavage.

Women’s dresses are also really versatile,meaning that you can wear them for daytime and evening dates.For an afternoon tea date, pair a dress with a cardigan,fake pearls and shiny court shoes.Smarten things up for the evening with a jacket,mules and a mock-croc clutch bag.

If you’re not a fan of dresses, don’t worry:other types of women’s fashion make good date wear too.If you’ve been on a few dates with the lucky guy in question,then you could wear jeans as long as theyre not your Sunday slouchy ones!Try smart flares with wedges (very this season) and a blouse with gold jewellery or skinny jeans with high-heeled boots and a cute jumper.

Hair and make-up make a difference to whatever you’re wearing, so make sure you’ve got enough time to get ready before the date to do yours.

Have a great time!

Microsoft to track legal marijuana with new partner Kind Financial

Admin November 19, 2021

Sunday, June 19, 2016

Microsoft announced on Thursday they are partnering with KIND Financial to help governments track the production and distribution of legal marijuana. Kind Financial, a California-based start-up company, began selling its Agrisoft Seed to Sale software three years ago. Microsoft is admitting Kind’s software on the Government portion of its Azure cloud service.

Although Kind Financial CEO David Dinenberg stressed to The Guardian they “absolutely do not touch the plant”, his company does business with growers and distributors of marijuana, as well as the governments that regulate it. State law in twenty-five US states — but not US federal law — has legalized marijuana, whether medicinally or for recreational use. Kimberly Nelson, Microsoft executive director of state and local government solutions, said they expect significant demand for technology to help states make sure cannabis distribution within their state is done according to their laws.

Kind also provides kiosks similar to automated tellers (ATMs) to facilitate marijuana transactions in dispensaries. The distribution of marijuana is often done only with cash or through machines like the ones Kind offers since many banks in the United States shy away from the marijuana industry entirely. Microsoft is not interacting with this part of Kind’s operations, however.

Microsoft and Kind will apply for contracts with state governments for their software. Currently, they have applied to Puerto Rico, a US territory, where medical marijuana has recently been made legal. BioTrackTHC, a company similar to Kind Financial, already has contracts with Washington, New Mexico, and Illinois.

Dinenberg said his company’s partnership with Microsoft is a major step in advancing the legitimacy of cannabis-related businesses.
