Chevrolet on Tuesday introduced its Colorado ZR2, a scenery-eating, wall-climbing shot across the bow of the Toyota Tacoma. With its innovative, Multimatic shocks and class-exclusive, front-and-rear locking differentials, the ZR2 goes head on against the Tacoma TRD Pro, until now the undisputed champ of midsize truck terrors. With the explosion of the midsize truck segment in recent years, the challenge was inevitable. Toyota had owned the midsize segment until the Colorado and GMC Canyon entered the market followed by the Honda Ridgeline this year. While the GM twins and Honda emphasized their pickups’ comfort and drivability, Tacoma continued as king of the Outback. But with the ZR2, Colorado wants to change that. “We assembled a dream team of GM truck enthusiasts in order to bring more off-road technology than any other truck in the class,” said GM North America President Alan Batey in introducing the ZR2 before the Los Angeles Auto Show.” The ZR2 comes from Chevy’s performance division. Like the ferocious, 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1, which is impressive both on and off the race track, the ZR2 aims to be both an off- road warrior and an on-road dancer. Chevy claims the key to its dexterity to be its exclusive spool-valve dampers. Developed by supplier Multimatic for Formula One racing, the so-called DSSV shocks were first used on the Camaro Z28 track monster. “Chevy came to us to bring the wide range of capability that spool-valve technology affords to a truck,” said Michael Guttilla, vice president of Multimatic Sales. “All the technology that made the Z28 a successful track car lends itself to going off-road.” The shocks — combined with a 3 1/2-inch wider track, 2-inch higher ground clearance, and Tacoma-equivalent, 30-degree front approach angle — transform the Colorado into an off-road animal. At the Los Angeles unveil, journalists were taken over a closed course of moguls, hills and terrain. Most impressive was the ZR2’s locking differentials which enabled the ZR2 to climb a steep, unpredictable grade. The truck segment has seen off-road performance trucks before in the Tacoma and Ford’s full- size F-150 Raptor. Unlike the Raptor, Chevy does not offer a unique, high-output engine with the ZR2 — but the standard V-6 and diesel option available in other Colorado trucks. Instead of raw power, the ZR2 appeals to extreme off-roaders who want more maneuverability than the big Raptor. The ZR2 was tested extensively through the narrow ridges of the Rubicon and GM’s off- road test facility in Yuma, Arizona. “It’s amazing what a difference a foot of width makes off-road,” said Mark Dickens, boss of Chevy performance vehicles. “The smaller size of the Colorado is a huge enabler for taking the ZR2 more places, and getting it through tighter spots than you could access with a full-size truck.” The ZR2 is distinguished by its robust front skid plate, robust, steel-tube rocker panels, black hood bulge and huge, 31-inch tires. It will tow up 5,000 pounds and carry 1,100 lbs. of payload. It was developed by GM after positive response to its ZR2 concept introduced her in LA in 2014. With the ZR2, “you can go rock crawling on Saturday, desert running on Sunday, and comfortably drive to work on Monday,” said Mark Reuss, executive vice president, Global Product Development in a statement. “This truck can do it all, and do it all well.” Henry Payne is auto critic for The Detroit News.

S. yields (0.01/3) By Shinichi Saoshiro and Masayuki Kitano TOKYO/SINGAPORE, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The dollar retreated from an 11-month high against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, taking a breather from a week-long rally driven by a rise in U. S. bond yields after Donald Trump won the presidential election. The dollar index slipped about 0.2 percent to 99.989, easing from Tuesday's high of 100.26, the strongest level since last December. A move above 100.51 would take the index to its highest since April 2003. With its rise on Tuesday, the dollar index had climbed 4.6 percent from a trough hit on Nov. 9, hoisted by a jump in Treasury yields as Trump's victory last week led the market to think that he and a Republican- controlled Congress would embark on fiscal spending to boost the economy. The market's focus remained squarely on the policies of President-elect Trump and U. S. bond yields. "The most important factor remains what kind of policies Trump enacts," said Shin Kadota, chief Japan FX strategist at Barclays in Tokyo. "The dollar is likely to be supported until the policies are revealed. What is key for the dollar is the overall balance of Trump's policies, as some may be viewed as negative for the economy," Kadota said. The greenback had gained a boost on Tuesday from stronger-than-expected U. S. October retail sales data, which reinforced the outlook for a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in December. Against the yen, the dollar eased 0.2 percent to 108.98 yen , after setting a five-month peak of 109.34 on Tuesday. The euro rose 0.2 percent to $1.0747, having edged up from an 11-month low of $1.0709 touched on Monday. "The dollar rally...is a function of U. S. yields and the rise in U. S. yields seems to be slowing down," said Sim Moh Siong, FX strategist for Bank of Singapore.

  • The Inferiority Complex of Homunculus in Hiromu Arakawa's
    The Inferiority Complex of Homunculus in Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist Thenady, T.P.1 and Limanta, L.S.2 1,2) English Department, Faculty of Letters, Petra Christian University, Siwalankerto 121-131, Surabaya 60236, East Java, INDONESIA e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT This article explores the causes and effects of inferiority complex in a character of a manga created by Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist. Commonly seen as a child’s play and underestimated by the society of literature, comic book or manga actually has the same quality as those considered as literary arts and stands equally with them. It embraces issues freely without the restriction of social rules and individual or group and uncontaminated by social, personal, or political influences. One of the issues most people think will not be in a comic book is psychology. Started from comparing himself to humans, the main antagonist, Homunculus, suffers from an inferiority complex caused by several factors such as parental attitude, physical defects, and envy. Furthermore, as the effect of suffering inferiority complex, Homunculus develops psychological defenses to ease his inferiorities: compensation and superiority complex. He tries to compensate his inferior feelings by excelling in another area and covers up the inferiorities by striving for superiority and omnipotence. Keywords: Manga, Alchemist, Homunculus, Inferiority Complex, Compensation, Superiority Complex Hiromu Arakawa is a Hokkaido-born manga artist whose career began with Stray Dog in 1999. One of her most successful works is Fullmetal Alchemist. This manga had won numerous awards such as 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen category, 15th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize “New Artist” category, and 9th 21st Century Shounen Gangan Award (Shogakukan).

Vogel, Chair Professor John Zysman Professor T.J. Pempel Professor Stephen Cohen Fall 2010 Abstract Inside the Castle Gates: How Foreign Companies Navigate Japan‘s Policymaking Processes by Kenji Erik Kushida Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Multinational corporations (MNCs) are at the heart of today‘s global economy, but their effects on the politics of advanced industrialized countries have not been studied systematically. This dissertation analyzes the case of Japan, a country most likely to reveal foreign MNCs‘ influence. Japan developed for most of its history with an extremely low presence of foreign MNCs, but it experienced a dramatic influx from the mid-1990s, particularly in long-protected sectors at the core of its postwar development model of capitalism. The dissertation explains an observed divergence in the political strategies of foreign MNCs in Japan—disruptive challenges to existing policymaking processes and norms of government-business interactions, versus insider strategies, in which MNCs worked within established organizations and prevailing modes of policymaking.

  • Perancangan Karakter Game Visual Novel “Tikta Kavya” Dengan Konsep Visual Bishonen
    vi PERANCANGAN KARAKTER GAME VISUAL NOVEL “TIKTA KAVYA” DENGAN KONSEP VISUAL BISHONEN Nama Mahasiswa : Brigitta Rena Estidianti NRP : 3409100029 Jurusan : Desain Produk Industri FTSP-ITS Dosen Pembimbing : Rahmatsyam Lakoro, S.Sn, M.T ABSTRAK Industri game terus mengalami perkembangan, khususnya industri game di dalam negeri. Tetapi, di Indonesia fungsi game belum dimanfaatkan secara maksimal sebagai media komunikasi terutama dalam mengkomunikasikan sejarah dan budaya Indonesia kepada generasi muda. Hal tersebut dapat diatasi dengan menggunakan genre visual novel yang dinilai maksimal dalam menjalankan fungsi game sebagai media komunikasi. Walau begitu visual novel merupakan genre yang masih baru di Indonesia, karena itulah dipilih tema Majapahit sebagai kerajaan Indonesia yang sudah dikenal banyak orang. Sejarah kerajaan Majapahit dihiasi oleh para tokoh – tokoh besar seperti Raden Wijaya, Gajah Mada, sampai Hayam Wuruk. Personaliti dan karakteristik tokoh sentral majapahit tersebut memiliki potensi untuk menjadi karakter yang segar dan baru bila digabungkan dengan selera dan trend sekarang, tidak terjebak lagi pada stereotype komik silat. Di lain pihak visual novel memiliki potensi negatif yang membuat orang merasa bosan saat memainkannya, dilakukanlah pengoptimalan fitur simulatif pada elemen karakter. Fitur simulatif dapat digali lebih lanjut. Wujud akhir perancangan ini selain merancang sebuah game pada umumnya juga mengubah citra karakter desain tokoh sejarah Indonesia yang masih kental akan gaya gambar komik klasik dan kurang cocok

  • Fullmetal Alchemist General Hakuro
    Fullmetal alchemist general hakuro Continue Working on Netflix's Reelgood dedication to becoming a prominent player in the anime world just hit a significant high this week with the premiere of the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist film. Directed by Fumihiko Sori and based on the original manga by Hiroma Arakawa, the film puts a cool CGI twist on this story about alchemy, pain, and two devoted brothers. The anime is known for its obsessive fans, but Fullmetal Alchemist is a force in itself. The manga was released in 2001. In less than 20 years, the property has had a 27-volume arc, two completely different anime adaptations, two animated feature films, seven video games that have been released in Japan, and now one live-action film. People love Fullmetal alchemist, commonly called FMA, a lot. However, there is a moment in this new adaptation that may have cast even the most devoted fans for the cycle. Who exactly is General Hakuro, and why did he get such a big role in the Netflix adaptation? Who is General Hakuro in manga and anime? Fullmetal Alchemist was made in anime in 2003 and again in 2009. The 2003 version, titled Fullmetal Alchemist, was made at a time when the manga was still being produced, so the last half of the story is very different from the original manga. The 2009 anime, known as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, follows Arakawa's manga more closely. There's a very good reason why audiences probably don't remember Hakuro, known as Halcrow in the 2003 anime - he played a very tiny part of a huge story.

On behalf of the New England Anime Society, our honored guests and the entire Anime Boston staff, it is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to Anime Boston 2012! This year is particularly exciting, as we are celebrating our tenth anniversary. When I think back on 2002, when we were working to organize ourselves and plan for the first year of the convention, I’m still astounded at how much has the event has grown and developed. Like a child, the convention “grew up” faster than we expected, and around it, we have lived ten years of life. For those of us who were there from the beginning this means ten years of marriages, children born, friends who have passed on, break-ups, falling in love, learning new things, losing some battles, and winning others.

Commonly seen as a child‘s play and underestimated Ey the society of literature, comic book or manga actually has the same quality as those considered as literary arts and stands equally with them. It embraces issues freely without the restriction of social rules and individual or group and uncontaminated by social, personal, or political influences. One of the issues most people think will not be in a comic book is psychology. Started from comparing himself to humans, the main antagonist, Homunculus, suffers from an inferiority complex caused by several factors such as parental attitude, physical defects, and envy. Furthermore, as the effect of suffering inferiority complex, Homunculus develops psychological defenses to ease his inferiorities: compensation and superiority complex. He tries to compensate his inferior feelings by excelling in another area and covers up the inferiorities by striving for superiority and omnipotence.
