of your big cities were really destroyed But than you built a new world from the ashes you also kept your traditions." His Holiness greeted his Japanese audience with these hopeful and complimentary words as a crowd of 300 or so filled a hall in the picturesque town of Niihama An assistant foreign language teacher was stunned when a colleague pushed a student by the arm violently grabbed another student’s shoulders and angrily shouted at them saw the shocking scene in the teachers’ lounge of a junior high school in Niihama After finishing his term as a language teacher at the school in July the informant told The Asahi Shimbun that he does not want any such cases of corporal punishment to occur again The man came to Japan from the United States in 2018 He then started working as a language assistant at a junior high school in Niihama The incident occurred in his third year there A teacher directed a group of boys to stand near a door of the staffroom He then shoved one of them toward the wall and held another’s student uniform The language assistant was unable to understand the details of their conversations in Japanese leaving the cause of the teacher’s rage a mystery But the whistle-blower said the students had obviously been scared as they stared at their feet The assistant added that none had been trying to attack the teacher He was also surprised that other teachers nearby had not attempted to step in to prevent the situation from escalating The man recorded what had occurred with his cellphone camera for other foreign language assistants in Japan to see Those he showed the video to said they had never seen such excessive physical behavior before Seeking the opinions of his followers primarily from the United States and Britain on a social media site he posted the clip late last year after he the male colleague and the victimized students had left the school via personnel relocation or graduation He was afterward summoned by Niihama city’s board of education as it became aware of the video The man contended he was told to delete his post Expressing distrust of the educational panel he said he had been aggressively questioned about why he had not reported the issue at that time The Asahi Shimbun confirmed the contents of the video and the education board generally acknowledged its interactions with the assistant teacher said his panel had not ordered the man to erase the video “We asked (the language assistant) whether it would be possible for him to delete the video after we provided (the abusive educator) disciplinary guidance and convinced him to never employ such actions again to prevent a recurrence at any school,” Takahashi said The problem was reportedly shared with the educational panel’s prefectural counterpart The abusive teacher was subjected to some form of disciplinary action but he was not named and shamed as part of his punishment The American served as a senior high school teacher in the United States for six years He applied for Japan’s foreign language assistant program given the global reputation of the nation’s education system He said that in his home state in the United States an event of this kind is supposed to be quickly reported to the school’s principal and police The perpetrator could be temporarily transferred to another school on suspicion of excessive use of force The educator said abusive teachers are bound to be dismissed and deprived of their teaching licenses in the United States if they admit their wrongdoing or when videos and other types of evidence are presented The language assistant referred likewise to the risk of young victims’ parents and local governments filing lawsuits against such problematic school staff members He insisted that educators must respond in non-violent ways He said the only exception to this rule is when students His belief did not change after he learned of Japan’s culture and customs as a foreign language assistant taking into account even the likelihood of the teacher pretending to be angry for disciplinary purposes The assistant teacher said he strongly believes it is important to show students why their acts are inappropriate not through violence Out of consideration for relevant officials and students the teaching assistant has refrained from disclosing his name He fears he might face some form of retaliation for having reported the matter but he said the anger should be directed at the abusive teacher and the corporal punishment rather than at him Translation done by American who died in tsunami lives on to inspire Ex-JET teacher sues Nagasaki over incidents of sex misconduct Schools search for ways to stop

from electric vehicles which supplies the nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) cathode materials for the Panasonic lithium-ion batteries used in Tesla EVs to boost annual cathode production capacity by 24,000 metric tons in 2025 from 60,000 tons now “Where and when to increase our production capacity next time depends on each country’s regulations and laws,” Katsuya Tanaka “We are examining the impact from any changes to laws and regulations including the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) especially with the presidential election coming up next year,” he said The IRA includes major provisions to cut carbon emission boost domestic production and manufacturing Sumitomo Metal plans to bolster its annual output capacity to 120,000 tons by March 2028 and 180,000 tons by March 2031 is also accelerating exploration of a new nickel mine It abandoned a long-running feasibility study on an Indonesian nickel project in Pomalaa Australia’s nickel sulphide explorer Ardea Resources said in July it has signed a non-binding agreement with a Japanese consortium to conduct a feasibility assessment at its Kalgoorlie nickel project Goongarrie hub in Western Australia we are evaluating Ardea’s report on the preliminary study while discussing about a more detailed study,” said Masaru Takebayashi “We are still in the preliminary study stage and whether we will join the project depends on the outcome of the studies,” he said adding the company is also scrutinizing a few other projects Sumitomo Metal is targeting to boost annual nickel output capacity to 150,000 tons in a long-term from 82,000 tons

it was supposed to be an entire world That’s why I say the international approach is The main character’s name is switched from Major Motoko Kusanagi in the manga to just “Major” in the film Niihama Prefecture is changed to “an international world,” according to Paul The rest of the cast for Ghost in the Shell is predominantly Asian Despite the reassurance of the cast and crew behind Ghost in the Shell When asked about the controversy surrounding her casting, Johansson told Marie Claire “I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity I feel the enormous pressure of that — the weight of such a big property on my shoulders.” Johansson’s decided non-answer answer only riled fans up more focusing on the struggles of white women while failing to acknowledge the added struggles faced by women of color and women who lack other privileges And the controversy only deepened when an unverified report about the Ghost in the Shell team trying out VFX to make a white actor “appear Asian” was published by ScreenCrush: Paramount Pictures acknowledged the tests but said that “a test was done related to a specific scene for a background actor which was ultimately discarded Absolutely no visual effects tests were conducted on Scarlett’s character and we have no future plans to do so.” “I think we’ve done the manga comic great honor,” Paul said adding that Ghost in the Shell’s original publisher has been involved in the making of the film The Sumitomo group has embarked on the construction of an LNG receiving terminal at Niihama on the northern coast of Shikoku in western Japan the new Niihama LNG facility will supply gas to both an adjacent Sumitomo chemical plant and a new 150 MW gas-fired power plant to be built by Sumitomo Joint Electric Power The two Sumitomo companies will work in partnership with Shikoku Electric Power Shikoku Gas and Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions in the development of the project which will feature a 230,000 m3 storage tank Sumitomo Joint Electric Power’s coal-fired power facilities at Niihama will be retired once the new gas plant is operational.  Shikoku is the smallest and least populous of the four main islands of Japan Separated from Honshu’s western coastline by the Seto Sea it has no gas pipeline connections with the other islands and relies on LNG to meet its gas needs Shikoku already plays host to an LNG import terminal at Sakaide a facility that has been operational since 2010 and is jointly owned by Shikoku Electric Another LNG receiving facility is under construction on the island which is being built for Shikoku Gas in Tokushima Prefecture will be Japan’s eighth small-scale LNG terminal and is due for completion in December 2018 The installation will feature a new 5,000 m3 storage tank and a short pipeline link to the existing Tokushima plant operated by Shikoku Gas The new facility will enable the utility company to halt the growing LNG road tanker traffic serving the plant and replace it with deliveries by coastal tanker Shikoku Gas is expected to make use of two 2,500 m3 coastal tankers to shuttle cargoes to Tokushima from one of the country’s baseload LNG import terminals one of the current employers of the two tankers has decided not to renew the transport contract once it expires in March 2018 The anime will premiere on the Tokyo MX and Yomiuri TV channels on October 3, and will premiere on BS NTV and on Netflix in Japan on October 4 Leon Niihama performs the anime's opening theme song "Tsukamaete, Konya."

the chance to do our lives over again Based on a hit light novel [by Yuzi Keino] this manga stars the corporate slave Niihama who works himself to death at a black company The beautiful and kind girl he grew up in love with a new light appears at the end of the dark tunnel Niihama awakens as a high school student all over again And this time he’s determined to make things right with his mother Illustrated by Boiru Iseebi and translated by Jamie Taber and motivational tour de force all at once please continue reading to hear my spoiler-free review comments about The Revenge of My Youth This manga is weirdly perfect for a young adult who either works in a high school or still clearly remembers their high school years It’s comical to see the activities and lives of teenagers through the lens of a 30-year-old’s memories in a teenager’s body (it’s not as weird as it seems Old bullies suddenly look like kids trying too hard to be mature and scary while classroom discussions mirror work negotiations I particularly loved seeing the parallels between high school and corporate scenarios How much different is it to take notes for a test versus a meeting Or mediate a conversation between two students versus two workers This manga creates a clear connection between the two It isn’t just tangible skills learned and wisdom create a lovely protagonist to root for who on the surface is merely a sweet innocent girl with everything put together but she struggles against bullies and with school work Even the minor and background characters exude personality from Niihama’s confused best friend to his energetic (and sort of helpful) little sister with a simplistic yet expressive style that helped me focus on the storyline without getting distracted by cluttered backgrounds The character’s faces always drew me into the story and their feelings while some of the artistic choices caught my attention characters were even outlined in a white border to have them stand out more I was also always pleased to see when a character in the forefront with their back turned had lines or dots in their silhouette It reminded me of the pointillism art style my absolute favorite part of The Revenge of My Youth was Niihama’s thoughts I loved how deeply some of his quotes resonated with me and scattered throughout the humor to give a serious pull to the narrative I know I have to keep reading this series too It’s interesting how it felt so simple It’s the edge of Niihama’s character development and the start of another pivotal moment to help Shijoin’s life I can’t help but want to know whether the event will pan out okay The Revenge of My Youth: Re Life with An Angelic Girl can be pre-ordered on Amazon Volume 2 is also available for pre-order Thank you to One Peace
