Well, it looks like it's time for Apple to move manufacturing out of China. Stop selling all products in China and HK and go to the World Trade Organization. Apple should stop manufacturing in China for some many reasons. Yes, it cheap to get things built there but you will also get your technology stolen. To do any kind of manufacturing in China is to commit corporate suicide. It's taking daily poison until one day....

I think the earlier point was that GK can not be an mean gatekeeper in English. Gatekeeper Basic sounds more like a suicide promotion than prevention. Seems to imply a controller to hell or heaven. As for the article, why ask members of the party, PM. Shouldn't you ask members of the Mental Health community? Or does the party know better?
As for AKB48, I like them. At least AKB is for Akihabara and 48 are for the 48 girls. Since Akihabara is a Japanese word, they can shorten it any way they like.

There were innovative companies in Japan. Take SONY but it's hasn't done anything new since it's found left going back some 30-40 years. It was at one time, the "Apple" of the 60's and 70's. Now it's falling into decay. No vision, no expectations. That is the problem with Japan, they like to play it safe. If a company can't evolve, they will go extinct. You can also that that about countries and Japan is going extinct. Just look at its population growth. Even worst, look at where Japanese companies are investing in...Chine, southeast Asia; if trends hold, Japan will under the control of the Chinese. Japanese companies have already given away their technology to China and Korea so what's left?

So if you shouldn't eat on the train, why do they sell food and drinks at the kiosks on the platforms? And some trains are ok to eat on as the shinkansen and Odakyu's Romance trains where they bring the food to you.

Most who died in 1923, died as result of the fire. There are known area to avoid, as where the fire swept through even onto the hill sides and any street with KAWA. Liquefaction is high in old river area and reclaimed land. A few years ago, NHK had a program that highlighted these areas.

Blood transfusions are simple... O- is the universal donor and AB+ is the universal receiver. So doctors will give you O- blood if they don't know your blood type and need to give you some in a hurry. It is also more problematic if the mother is a RH neg and the father is RH positive since an RH pos baby can kill the mother if this is the second RH pos baby. End of science class.

There is something wrong with the headline.... putting a punctuation can fix it. As for the story, I still like Tokyo tower much better. KST is kinda ugly.

Gee, it took a long time for Japan to realize they had this resource. The technology isn't new. You would have thought in a country with natural steam coming out almost everywhere, this would have been done decades ago.

This story is just a numbers report, no reference to why. As for numbers, seems Korea is number 2, Japan is number 6. the US is 41, Germany is 47, UK is 66 out of 107. Korea and Japan are 1, 2 for female suicides. Just guessing here but Japan and Korea may not be the best place if you're female.

Whale killing for reseach is BS. What other animal species are studied by slaughtering them? As for the one in Tokyo bay... how about all that radiation released into the ocean by Fukushima. Ship strikes are less a problem than the noisey ships themselves especially the hugh tankers.
