The Auto Issue コミュニティー ライフスタイル ビジネス エンターテイメント VOL. 04 NO. 14 FREE JUL. 20 – AUG. 02 2007 ESTABLISHED 1970 BY CORKY ALEXANDER THE AUTO ISSUE MICHAEL MARTIN EXPLORES THE DESERTS OF THE EARTH CLASSIC CARS COME TO TOKYO MIDTOWN EMERGING CAR MARKETS KIDS GET BIKING Photo courtesy of Michael Martin ALSO ONLINE AT WWW.WEEKENDERJAPAN.COM As a woman who has made Japan her home for over ten years, I want to believe that this can still be a safe place for us to work and live, and will do all I can to make it so. This is why, as the President of FEW, I encourage other businesswomen in Japan to support this cause and to help find Lindsay's suspected killer. —Julia Maeda President, Foreign Executive Women Twenty-two-year-old Lindsay Ann Hawker was teaching English in Japan when she was brutally murdered at the end of March this year. She was last seen with 28-year-old Tatsuya Ichihashi and her body was discovered on the balcony of his flat in Tokyo. He remains the Japanese police's only suspect and as we go to print, has still not been found. In support of Lindsay’s family and the Japanese police in their hunt for this man, Being A Broad has launched a t-shirt campaign. We hope that enough people—men and women, Japanese and foreign—will wear this t-shirt or one of our bags, so that this man’s face is seen by as many people as possible in Japan, on a daily basis. The Japanese words roughly translate to “Until this man is caught, I won’t sleep at night”, which can be interpreted in many ways: perhaps you are that bit more nervous at night knowing this man has not been caught; perhaps you are a father and worried about your daughter; perhaps you are a husband and worried about your wife; perhaps you want to make a statement against all violent crime against women. For men and women, Japanese and foreign, this campaign can have many meanings. What participating in this campaign will definitely mean, however, is that you are playing a part in assisting Lindsay’s family in keeping this man’s face right where people can see it. Wear your t-shirt or bag at the gym, dropping the kids off at school, going shopping, on the train, and just walking around—wear it anywhere you will be seen by many people. “The more people that wear the t- shirts, the more support that we will feel is being shown for us. Lindsay was a teacher who loved her life in Japan. She would have been first in the queue to buy and wear such a t-shirt for another victim. She had a strong sense of justice and would have done anything she could have to have helped others.” —The Hawker Family To order your t-shirt, or to give a donation to pay for the production of t-shirts for others, go to: www.being-a-broad.com r ve All campaign items are being produced at cost price, Po and neither Caroline Pover nor any of her businesses, nor the Hawker family, are receiving any income from the sale of those items. © Caroline Caroline © THINGS TO DO VOL.04 NO.14 FREE JUL. 20 – AUG. 02 2007 04 Feature Saturday, Jul 21 Saturday, Jul 28 Cutting through automotive red tape Temple University’s Youth and Imaginative La- Get into the spirit of Aloha at the Yokohama 06 Special Travel Feature bor Conference: East Asia moves to Super Deluxe Hawaii Festival with Japan’s largest Hawaiian Michael Martin explores the deserts of the earth for a special Pecha Kucha “University” night fol- market, concerts, hula dances, food, workshops, 08 Movie Plus and Review lowed by a hip hop concert. ¥1,500, 1,000 hula dancers, 1,000 ukulele players, and 300 premiere and Harry Potter review email: [email protected] more.

Per capita spending (including company spending) for HRI spending has made a significant contribution to the food service industry’s step by step growth. In addition, increased tourism has also contributed to the re-invigoration of the industry as HRI outlets are offering more international cuisines throughout the market place. Competition remains intense and the sophisticated Japanese consumer continues to demand high quality food products. U.S. suppliers are well positioned to compete in many products categories provided they are willing to adjust to changing market demand. - Table of Contents - I. MARKET SUMMARY A.

  • Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Free
    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn. I couldn't function in society very well.

  • Nin Ghosts I Remixed
    The story of... ‘‘ What a beautiful day ! ’’ NiN Ghosts I remixed In cauda venenum by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ What a beautiful day ! - NiN Ghosts I remixed Sunday, March 2, Year two thousand and eight : What a beautiful day ! Trent Reznor, the demiurge behind Nine Inch Nails has just boldly freed himself from traditional restraints to free dissemination. Ghosts I-IV, last NIN album to date, has been released without the help of any record company and the first 9 tracks are available in free download on the band's website. NIN releases the whole album and its graphics and covers under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa licence. This means any person who adquired the album, either by purchasing or downloading is by now free to share it, sample or remix it, under the following conditions : attribute the work in the manner specified by the author, and not use it for commercial purpose. This initiative obviously runs counter to digital locking systems set up by the recording industry, and counter to its hollow fight against "piracy". By choosing the free licences, Reznor prooves that the music may be shared freely, and that "free" music is not necessarily "cheap" music, which would be of lesser quality than "commercial" music. Doing this, Reznor prooves also that free dissemination is by no way uncompatible with some kind of trade, as the Ghosts I-IV album was actually sold, in lossless digital format as well as in limited edition cds. Nine Inch Nails affords the luxury to conciliate profitability and sharing. Let's hope the idea makes many followers.

Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain May 2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music University of Sheffield © 2012 Lonán Ó Briain All Rights Reserved Abstract Hmong Music in Northern Vietnam: Identity, Tradition and Modernity Lonán Ó Briain While previous studies of Hmong music in Vietnam have focused solely on traditional music, this thesis aims to counteract those limited representations through an examination of multiple forms of music used by the Vietnamese-Hmong. My research shows that in contemporary Vietnam, the lives and musical activities of the Hmong are constantly changing, and their musical traditions are thoroughly integrated with and impacted by modernity. Presentational performances and high fidelity recordings are becoming more prominent in this cultural sphere, increasing numbers are turning to predominantly foreign- produced Hmong popular music, and elements of Hmong traditional music have been appropriated and reinvented as part of Vietnam’s national musical heritage and tourism industry. Depending on the context, these musics can be used to either support the political ideologies of the Party or enable individuals to resist them.
