    Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Summary: Japan should completely phase out coal by 2030. █ Coal-fired power generation emits more carbon dioxide (CO2) than any other method of generating electricity. In order to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) as called for under the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to quickly decarbonize our energy sources. According to several research reports, that means we need to completely phase Japan Coal Phase-Out: out coal power plants, which obviously means halting new coal plant construction and also strategically retiring existing plants. For coal-fired power generation in Japan, the country must cancel all current planning for new construction, and also retire all existing coal The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 power plants by 2030 █ There were 117 units at existing coal power plants in Japan as of April 2018, based on Japan Coal Phase-Out: The Path to Phase-Out by 2030 Japan Coal Phase-Out: government statistics and publicly available information, and this number includes many older and inefficient plants that have been operating over 40 years.

What Happened to the Honorifics in a Local Japanese Dialect in 55 ears:y A Report from the Okazaki Survey on Honorifics Abstract This paper reports the analysis of the three trend samples from the Okazaki Honorifics Survey, a longitudinal survey by the National Language Research Institute on the use and the awareness of honorifics in Okazaki city, Aichi Prefecture in Japan. Its main results are: (1) the Okazakians are using more polite forms over the 55 years; (2) the effect of the three social variables (sex, age, and educational background), which used to be strong factors controlling the use of the honorifics in the speech community, are diminishing over the years; (3) in OSH I and II, the questions show clustering by the feature [±service interaction], while the same 11 questions in OSH III exhibit clustering by a different feature, [±spontaneous]; (4) the change in (3) and (4) can be accounted for nicely by the Democratization Hypothesis proposed by Inoue (1999) for the variation and change of honorifics in other Japanese dialects.

Introduction On November 17, 2014, the news that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Pacific Bluefin tuna (PBF) to its Red List of Threatened Species as “Vulnerable,” which meant that it was threatened with extinction, made headlines and received substantial TV coverage around Japan. After citing the IUCN’s comment that the species was extensively targeted by the fishing industry for the predominant sushi and sashimi markets in Asia, Mainichi Shimbun, one of the major newspapers in Japan, reported that the population was estimated to have declined by 19 to 33% over the past 22 years1. Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a leading Japanese economic newspaper, referring to the fact that the American eel was also added to the List as “Endangered,” pointed out that
