The positioning of coastal defence missiles on two of the four islands in contention was reported by Russian media this week and comes after concerted efforts by both countries to improve relations. Japan-Russian ties have been hamstrung by a row dating back to the end of World War II when Soviet troops seized the southernmost islands in the Kuril chain, known as the Northern Territories in Japan, that lies off the northeast coast of Hokkaido. The tensions have prevented the countries from signing a peace treaty formally ending wartime hostilities, and have hindered trade and investment. "The Northern Territories are an inherent part of Japan's territory," Abe told parliament on Friday. Abe said Japan had told Russia the deployment "is deplorable" and "is contradictory to Japan's position" on the issue. However, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday the missile deployment was aimed at the "consistent strengthening of national security". "Missile systems were deployed to the southern Kurils in line with that position," she said, calling them "an integral part of Russian territory". The remarks came ahead of a December 15 meeting between Abe and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Yamaguchi city in western Japan, which is aimed at making progress on the territorial dispute. The two leaders have met several times since Abe took office in December 2012, most recently last Sunday in Peru on the sidelines of a Pacific-rim summit. Japan Finds Russia’s Japan PM Shinzo Abe says Deployment of Missiles on Russian missile deployment Kurils Unacceptable on disputed isles article.wn.com 'regrettable' article.wn.com 2016-11-25 07:30 www.digitaljournal.com 2 /10 3.6 Drink soup, don't drive: Japan police tell elderly (1.10/2) Japanese police are offering noodle discounts to elderly citizens who hand in their driving licences, promising them cheaper ramen soup in exchange for improved road safety. The edible offer comes after a series of deadly accidents caused by cars driven by the elderly -- a growing problem in a country where 4.8 million people aged 75 or older hold a licence. In the hopes of appealing to seniors' stomachs, police in the central prefecture of Aichi on Friday started offering the discounts via a tie-up with a local restaurant chain. Elderly drivers who give up their permits will receive a certificate from police which they can present when ordering the noodles to see the price reduced from 590 ($5.20) yen to 500 yen, an Aichi police spokesman told AFP. Last month, a six-year-old boy died and 11 others were injured after an 87-year-old driver's pickup truck hit elementary school children walking to school on a street in Yokohama. The country is introducing a new rule in March under which drivers aged 75 or older must pass cognitive tests when renewing their licences. Aiming to set an example, a 97-year-old high-ranking Buddhist priest last week returned his driver's licence, calling on his elderly compatriots to do the same. "It's stupid to try to maintain your licences just out of pride," said Taa Shinen.

"As far as we know, there is nothing out there that is as fast," Satoshi Sekiguchi, director general at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, where the computer will be built, told Reuters. China's Sunway TaihuLight is capable of 93 petaflops while Japan’s current fastest machine, the Oakforest-PACS, operates at 13.6 petaflops.

Skating to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy,” the defending champion from Japan stumbled on the landing of his opening quad loop but was otherwise flawless, receiving 103.89 points. “I regret not being able to land the first quad,” Hanyu said. “I feel like there was much more I could’ve done but I really enjoyed the short program and feel I will be able to carry the momentum over to tomorrow.” After the quad loop, Hanyu added a quad salchow-triple toeloop combination and triple axel. Nathan Chen of the United States was second with 87.94 points, followed by Keiji Tanaka of Japan with 80.49. Hanyu was second in Skate Canada and is looking to wrap up a berth in the Dec. 8-11 Grand Prix Final in Marseille, France, with a win in Sapporo. “Compared to Skate Canada, I’m feeling better about my program,” Hanyu said. “I have to make sure I execute everything in the free program.” World bronze medalist Anna Pogorilaya of Russia received 71.56 points to lead the women’s short program. “I’m happy with performance today,” Pogorilaya said.

The videos are crowdsourcingly annotated. On skating sports videos. To address this task, we propose a deep these video datasets, the most common efforts are mainly made architecture that includes two complementary components, i.e., on video classification [19], [21], video event detection [38], Self-Attentive LSTM and Multi-scale Convolutional Skip LSTM. These two components can efficiently learn the local and global action detection and so on. sequential information in each video. Furthermore, we present a Remarkably, inspired by Pirsiavash et al.

This addresses a novel task of learning to score figure skating dataset includes 500 figure skating videos with the average length sport videos, which is very different from previous action of 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Each video is annotated by two recognition task. Specifically, in this task, the model must scores of nine different referees, i.e., Total Element Score(TES) and Total Program Component Score (PCS). Our proposed model understand every clip of figure skating video (e.g., averagely is validated on FisV and MIT-skate datasets.
