    Toyota is one of the most famous Motor Corp in the world. It is a Japanese band. Toyota band is very famous because their product are reasonable price, and their car have a high performance.

Last week, Toyota recall their cars, about 1.13 million Corolla and Matrix cars, because it has a problem with the engine that can cause cars to stall in any speed without warning. They will recall the model years 2005 to 2008 in the U.S. and Canada because they received at least three report from car accidents. John Hanson said he does not know what the recall will cost to the company. The recall includes about 162,000 hatchbacks.

According to former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, he said that he will support Ozawa in the next election, so it makes Ozawa run in this competition. Hatoyama is the one who support Naoto Kan until this last Tuesday. He told reporters that he will support Ozawa in the race. Although, the polls shows that Kan ahead of other elector because the public do not want to see a raidly success of Japanese prime ministers. They have a problem with their economy slump. The public show that they are supporting Kan because he has a good foothold in the DPJ. Furthermore, most of a  lawmakers belonging to a group of transport minister Seiji Maehara or Finance Minister, Yoshihiko Noda, who has thrown their support behind Kan in this election.

Japan train Afghan Police in Turkey

The Japanese government will sent a police officer to Turkey to train Afghan police. This project will be carried out in cooperation with Turkish government. They are aim to improve security in Afghanistan but truly, the government of Japan have been looking for ways to continue support Western secret operation in Afghanistan. Japanese police will teach Afghan police about hot to do crime lab, fight drug trafficking and set up koban system and his government hope to start this operation in the early of autumn. In last year, Japanese government promised to give 5 billion dollars to replace the Indian Ocean mission. This plan will help Afghanistan stabilize in finical. Normally, Indonesia is one of the country for training Afghan police. Although, they prepared not good enough to be a head of this project, so Turkey government chosen Japan to train a Afghan police.

   In my opinion, I think this operation will help Afghanistan to protect their people from terrorist, and it also decreases crime in Afghanistan.

Fuji picture from many style such as from painting form artiest and photographer. On a clear evening sky, you can see it from Tokyo with the snow on the top of mountain. Although, many people forget that this mountain is the volcano ,and it is still active. In 7th of February there had a meeting of scientists to talk about Mt. Fuji because if it eruption again it will cause a lot of damage to Japan. Mt Fuji don't eruption since 300 years ago. Approximately, their have 10 earth quake occur in 1 year but most of it are to small to be notice by human sense. In last year the seismic active began increasing rapidly. In september, there were 35 small earthquakes that rising to 133 in October, and 144 in December. In the past two month there have unusual frequent from Ring of Fire which in the Pacific Rim. Moreover, two Japanese volcanoes was erupt last year.

     In my opine, I think it is the distraction if Mt. Fuji was erupted because it will cause a lot of damage to Japanese people. Furthermore, it will destroy Japanese economy ,and it also makes million of people homeless.

Japan Government push Alternative Energy

Japanese people have to pay higher for electricity bill because it is a government plant to help government generate renewable energy in the next ten years. People will have to paid more for the alternative power source such as mega solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and small hydro power. This plan called "free-in." This energy   is already used in Germany and Spain. The ministry evaluate that this new plan could boost carbon-free electricity to 50,000 megawatts in 10 years after their launch. The government aims to finish this plan in the end of this year.

In conclusion, I think this plan will replace the old energy source and it will help Japan for reduce a lot of Carbon dioxide. Furthermore, it will be the model for another country.

New advertising in train

The Japanese advertisers companies have started the ability to display moving in avertiseing area of the train it called paper advertisments.The new ad first public is a new mascara from Lancome. It use a new tecnology called electronic paper. It allows paper to rewriten repeatedly ,and it makes a image changing.In some Japanese train station are now use this paper to advertise in many ads and it very useful because it can regresh with new images of ads and it also reduce an ads paper ,so it can help the world to stop groble warming. But every new techonoly have problem. The main problem for electronic paper is it cannot creat moving color image. The only image can move is black and white images but the publsh show that people love to watch this new electronic paper than color ads.

    In my opinion, I think this new technology will change the way of advertising in the future because it very creative and it is attractive to people.  

Japanese education system

     The Japan education system was reformed base on German and French model. After the World War II, the Americans reformed education system in Japan for six years for study in high school, three years for junior and three years for senior and four years for university or two years for junior college. Over 90% of all students graduate from high school and over 40% of them graduate from university or junior college. A percentage of male students is higher than female students in university but in junior colleges the number of female student is higher. Japanese schools also starts in April ,and it has three terms and one moth for long summer break.  Japanese use entrance exams for choose study to a university, and it has a high competition between students. Most high schools and universities require writing entrances exams to get to the best university such as the national University of Tokyo and University of Kyoto.


In my opinion, I think Japanese student have high performance to study in Japan because in Japan, there education have a hight challenge in the national exam which use in enroll to university.  

Japanese Nurse Exam including Translation

 

A health ministry has set a change of Nursing exam for include English translations for foreigners. More than 1,000 foreigners have come to Japan such as Indonesia and Philippines. Although, the passage test rate is low because the kanji is hard to foreigner when they take the exam. For medical and nursing school, the translations will be translate Japanese disease names to English name. Moreover, it can change difficult Japanese words and rephrased the sentences that easy to read.

In conclusion, I think this translation will be important to study Japanese language in the further because this language has many form and it hard to remember all the Japanese letter.
