  • 15 to Enhance and Strengthen Port Functions and Measures for Cargo

    15 to Enhance and Strengthen Port Functions and Measures for Cargo

    To enhance and strengthen port functions and measures for cargo collection, taking into consideration the conditions surrounding the Port of Kawasaki in recent years, such as wide-area linkage of the three Keihin ports (Port of Kawasaki, Port of Yokohama, and Port of Tokyo), and the Port of Kawasaki's selection as a Strategic International Container Port, the City of Kawasaki revised the harbor plan for the Port of Kawasaki, which focuses on the years from 2023 to 2028, in November 2014. This plan plays an extremely important role as a guideline for development, use, and conservation of the Port of Kawasaki, based on the role of this port within the three Keihin ports, as well as demands from port-related personnel, location companies, citizens, and the government. In an aim to increase industrial competitive strength in the metropolis, and protect and develop industries, employment, and livelihood based on reinforcing the linkage among the three Keihin ports, policies for the harbor plan are being established for each function in order to realize a Port of Kawasaki that supports industrial activities and contributes to the stability and improvement of the local economy and civilian life. [Industry/logistics functions] Strengthen logistics functions by reorganizing and expanding port functions [Disaster-prevention functions] Strengthen support functions at times when a large-scale earthquake occurs [Energy functions] Maintain and support energy supply functions [Environment/interaction functions] Enhance amenity space that makes use of the characteristics of the port space 15 Port capabilities are a premise that determines the scale and layout of port facilities, and the cargo amount handled is a basic indicator that represents port capabilities.

    Japan's Population Has Started to Shrink and Polarize Geographically

    Mizuho Economic Outlook & Analysis April 5, 2016 Japan’s population has started to shrink and polarize geographically The census reveals the concentration of people in large cities and city centers < Summary > ◆ The preliminary report on the 2015 population census of Japan was released on February 26, 2016. The report shows that Japan’s population declined for the first time since World War II, marking the advent of a depopulating society. ◆ Regional populations are moving further in the direction of polarization. While the populations of urban areas other than Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya continue to plunge, populations are rising in metropolitan areas functioning as local economic hubs. ◆ Population polarization is striking even among the three major metropolitan areas, with the tendency of people to return to city centers. The overall population of Osaka Prefecture dropped for the first time in 68 years, but the population surged in central Osaka City. Mizuho Research Institute Ltd.

The general morphology of the first zoea of V. repandum is similar to those of the previously-known examples of Alpheus. A diagrammatic key for identification of the family among caridean zoeas is proposed. Key words: first zoea, key, taxonomy, description, Alpheidae, Vexillipar Introduction Japanese alpheid fauna includes more than 110 species, approximately 20% of whole caridean shrimps (Miya, 1995; Hayashi, 1995b), but larval stages of the family have been documented only on two species (see Table 1). Miyazaki (1937) gave a short description of the first zoea of Alpheus brevicristatus De Haan. Yang and Kim ( 1996) described early zoea1 development of A.

    Anderson-Peterson Family Birthdays Issue 10 ● September 2013

    Anderson-Peterson Family Birthdays Issue 10 ● September 2013 Carl Robert Gustafson 5 September Grandpa Glenn’s brother-in-law, Bob Gustafson, was born 5 September 1922, and was the only child of Harry and Viola Gustafson. Harry and Viola were very close church friends of Fritz and Mabel (Glenn’s parents) and lived at 112 South Sixth Avenue, one block west of old Bethlehem Lutheran church. Harry was a clerk for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and Viola worked at Elgin Watch Company. After Bob graduated from St. Charles High School in 1940 (with Glenn’s cousin, Wilda), one year as a “salesman or sales agent,” and one year of college, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 25 August 1942 in Chicago. Bob trained as a bombardier at San Angelo, Texas, Army Airfield. It was the most advanced of the bombardier schools because they trained cadets on the new Norden Bomb Sight, a military secret because it was new technology. It was in San Angelo on 18 September 1943 that Bob married Glenn’s sister June. Sister Ethel Anderson and cousin Wilda Anderson were attendants. Bob’s Air Corps friend, Bill Duggin, was best man. After graduating and receiving his 2nd lieutenant commission and his bombardier wings on 23 October, Bob’s first assignment was instructor at San Angelo. Bob was later assigned to the 20th Air Force, which was created to fly the new B-29 Superfortress “very heavy, long- range” bombers. Bob’s unit, the Twentieth Air Force XXI Bomber Command, 313th Bombardment Wing, 505th Bombardment Group, 484th Bomb Squadron, initially trained with B-17 Flying Fortress bombers at Dalhart (Texas) Army Airfield.

    Kanagawa Prefecture

    www.EUbusinessinJapan.eu Latest update: August 2013 KANAGAWA PREFECTURE Prefecture’s flag Main City: Yokohama Population: 9,079,000 people, ranking 2/47 (2013) [1] Area: 2,415.84 km² [2] Geographical / Landscape description: Kanagawa Prefecture is located in the southern Kanto region of Japan and is part of the Greater Tokyo Area. Topographically, the prefecture consists of three distinct areas. The mountainous western region features the Tanzawa Mountain Range and Hakone Volcano. The hilly eastern region is characterized by the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula. The central region, which surrounds the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula, consists of flat stream terraces and low lands around major rivers including the Sagami River, Sakai River, Tsurumi River, and Tama River. [2] Climate: The climate is moderate due to the warm current running along the Pacific side of the archipelago. [2] Time zone: GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Kanagawa has played a major role in some significant periods in Japan's history. The first began in 1192, when the first military government was established in Kamakura. This made Kanagawa the centre of the Japanese political scene. The second period commenced in 1859, when the Port of Yokohama was opened to the world after more than 200 years of strict national isolation. Since then, Kanagawa became the gateway for the introduction of Western civilization. The third period was the 1950s, when the Japanese economy was being reconstructed after World War II. During this period, along with the development of the Keihin Industrial Belt, Kanagawa played a significant role in rebuilding the war-devastated Japanese economy.
