  • Panasonic Announces Signing of Professional Women's Tennis Player Naomi Osaka As Brand Ambassador
    Jun 24, 2021 Panasonic Announces Signing of Professional Women's Tennis Player Naomi Osaka as Brand Ambassador Osaka, Japan - Panasonic Corporation has signed a brand ambassador agreement with professional women's tennis player Naomi Osaka. The period of agreement is two years starting from April 22, 2021. Panasonic sought the agreement with Ms. Osaka after observing that her values and perspectives on society deeply resonate with its own management philosophy, primarily with regard to the following three points: First, Ms. Osaka takes social issues seriously, looking beyond tennis to share her views on what a better society would look like in her own words. The founder of Panasonic, Konosuke Matsushita, held the notion that a stable state of happiness comes only when both mental stability and material prosperity are secured. Based on this idea, the company endeavors to create an ideal society where all of us can enjoy lives that are both mentally fulfilling and affluent in the material sense. Second, Ms. Osaka's intense and powerful playing is a source of energy and courage for people all over the world. Panasonic has passed down the founder’s view that the mission of an enterprise is to achieve a prosperous society and to make people happy, and continues to work toward fulfilling a strong aspiration not only to provide products needed by society, but also to make customers who use them feel happy and uplifted. And third, Ms. Osaka continues to grow and evolve as her magnificent track record being one of the world’s top athletes is the result of her tireless efforts to refine each and every move in the course of her daily training and matches.

  • Korean Architecture Вінницький Національний Технічний Університет Анотація Як Утворилася Південна Корея
    УДК 725 (519) Жук С. П. Korean architecture Вінницький національний технічний університет Анотація Як утворилася Південна Корея. Яка була її архітектура. Яка архітектура і на сьогоднішній день цінується в Південній Кореї. Усе це буде розглянуто у статті нижче Ключові слова: Корея, Південна Корея, Корея у роки війни, пост модерн у Кореї. Abstract How South Korea was formed. What was her architecture. What architecture is today valued in South Korea. All this will be considered in the article below Key words: Korea, South Korea, Korea during the war, modern Korea. Korean architecture refers to the built environment of Korea from c. 30,000 BC to the present.From a technical point of view, buildings are structured vertically and horizontally. A construction usually rises from a stone subfoundation to a curved roof covered with tiles, held by a console structure and supported on posts; walls are made of earth (adobe) or are sometimes totally composed of movable wooden doors. Architecture is built according to the k'a unit, the distance between two posts (about 3.7 meters), and is designed so that there is always a transitional space between the "inside" and the "outside." The console, or bracket structure, is a specific architectonic element that has been designed in various ways through time. If the simple bracket system was already in use under the Goguryeo kingdom (37 BC – 668 AD)—in palaces in Pyongyang, for instance—a curved version, with brackets placed only on the column heads of the building, was elaborated during the early Goryeo (Koryo) dynasty (918–1392). The Amita Hall of the Buseok temple in Yeongju is a good example.

  • Brooksby, Nakashima, Tiafoe Added to Men's Field; Pera, Stosur, Teichmann Awarded Women's Wild Cards
    Brooksby, Nakashima, Tiafoe Added To Men’s Field; Pera, Stosur, Teichmann Awarded Women’s Wild Cards Kenin, Williams Sisters Withdraw From Western & Southern Open CINCINNATI (Aug. 10, 2021) – Americans Jenson Brooksby, Brandon Nakashima and Frances Tiafoe have been awarded men’s wild cards for the 2021 Western & Southern Open. In addition, Bernada Pera, Samantha Stosur and Jil Teichmann have received wild cards into the women’s field. Three players have withdrawn from the women’s field – Sofia Kenin (foot), Serena Williams (leg) and Venus Williams. With a scorching 2021 season, Brooksby has climbed into the Top 100 of the ATP rankings for the first time in his career. Brooksby reached his first ATP final just last month in Newport, becoming the second-youngest player to reach the final in the 45-year tournament history. Brooksby collected his first win over a top 20 opponent (Felix Auger-Aliassime) in Washington D.C. last week to advance to his first semifinal in an ATP 500 event. The 20-year-old, who will be making his Cincinnati debut, has also snagged his first three career ATP Challenger Tour titles in 2021, including back-to-back wins in consecutive weeks in April. Finishing as a finalist in two of his last three events in Los Cabos and Atlanta, Nakashima jumped to a career-high ranking of 87. Nakashima, who will be making his second consecutive appearance in Cincinnati, became the youngest American to reach an ATP final since Taylor Fritz reached the Memphis Open final in 2016. The 20-year-old has won 65 percent of his matches on the ATP Tour and Majors in his career, winning two titles on the ATP Challenger Tour along with two ITF titles in the process.
