Be mindful of this careful phrasing of conflict(s) in China! At that time, the Japanese government did not want its people and other countries that Japan was engaged in a war against China. The official stance was that they were protecting the properties of Japanese civilians and the Manchurian railroad company's properties.

On the original image of the map, there is a handwritten passage that reads "the Science of Elementary School Students'" so I assume this map was published in a magazine for younger people. There are no difficult Kanji characters there on the map so it may be so.

The original Japanese writing goes from "right" to "left". This was written written before the German army defeated the Maginot Line as suggested from the text. So I would say it was early 1938 that this was written. What's written in (parentheses) are not explicitly written but most likely suggested by the writing. For example, it says, ".... countries like the UK, France and the Soviet Union ..." There are 5 paragraphs. At the time of this writing the Maginot Line is intact, I guess.

The war between Germany and Poland has become the World War now that the UK, France and the Soviet Union (among others) have entered it.

Japan has decided to end the conflict in China promptly instead of being bothered by the war in Europe while the US and Italy are likely to be unwillingly dragged into it.

The Germany, which invaded Poland, has battled in many places with amazing forces and together with the Soviet forces, which came from the East side, has conquered almost all of Poland. And then Germany turned around Westward and advanced up to the border with France where they became engaged in a greater battle with both the UK and France.

There are two well-known lines of fortresses named Siegfried Line and Maginot Line, which Germany and France have built with all their mighty crafts. Thus it is said that however hard they should try, it is difficult to break through the lines.

Moreover, it is expected to see more flight combats as the forces that have been kept hidden of the German Air Force are going to be revealed and fight against its counterparts from the UK and France.

First of all, this Japanese sentence sounds like coming from "some foreign language (not necessarily English) to Japanese translation (like Google translation)". So I try to back-translate this sentence into English.

Then the original sentence could be: Please secure you soul. Please safeguard you soul. Please embrace your soul. Please take hold of you soul.

So did this come from the Bible or some religious context?

確保する means to keep something in secure place or to get tight hold of something. I don't hear the combination of 魂 (soul) and 確保する too often. It sounds too clumsy.

米国でも欧州でも禁止されてる農薬を米国のモンサントとかから買ってる（買わされてる？）のが日本だから、仕方ない。出荷直前に使うような農薬もあり、それがフレッシュのまま届いて、そこで検疫検査されると、残留量が規定量を超えることもある。台湾の行動は正しい。

大量の農薬でしか守れないデリケートなイチゴなのだから、常にギリギリの線で農薬は残ってるのだ。農薬漬けの現状を知らない日本人の無邪気さを今一度自覚すべきだと思います。

First take a look at the course layout here and decide where to watch and stay at! I don't know how you plan it like transportation (rental car or train), accommodation (camping, bnb or hotels) and others (bike rental, side trips) but we will be here to help you and guide you. Ask then you shall be answered.

Look at the turbo clock! It is up from 3.9 to 4.0! The single-core performance depends on this turbo clock! In my case yes. I used Geekbench.

I can not vouch for the performance under Sequoia (I use Monterey).

I upgraded from Xeon E5-1650v2 (6-core TDP 130 watts, 3.5 GHz/3.9 GHz-Turbo) to

Xeon E5-2673v2 (8-core TDP 110 watts, 3.3 GHz/4.0 GHz-Turbo) because of the lower TDP and higher turbo clock. Its benchmark confirms that single-core performance is up and multi-core performance is way up. This is my two cents.

All you should know is this letter, 凶.

凶 (kyo = bad luck) if you see this letter (usually big in size) there, get a new one! Otherwise, take it home (or to the hotel where you are staying) and ask what it says here! We'll be here to tell your fortune.

It depends. Some shrines have designated area (like small laundry lines or trees) where you can tie your Omikuji when you don't want to take home. Most of the time they want you to take your Omikuji home. In other words, not wanting any litters.

So you should open it on the premises, and see what in it for you. You should know at least what it is, either bad or good. If it's really bad (Dai-Kyo 大凶), it is recommended that you leave it there. And maybe you should try again on the spot. I think.

米国で、みんなを大学に送り込む社会を作ることはグローバル金融勢力の施策です。実世界で全く意味のない専攻で卒業し、しかも学費ローン（高利）で、卒業する時点で一生払い続ける借金漬け。大学卒業後カフェでウエイターで働くみたいな労働人口を増やす。移民であれ、何であれ安い労働人口は資本家・企業家が欲しいもの。

職業学校で訓練して手に職を付けるのは、それに対抗する手段にはなる。オバマ政権では法律を変えて、職業学校への進学への学資ローンが通り難くしました。その結果職業学校が倒産した。

手に職をつけることの重要さを学びましょう。自分のために。

名誉毀損で取り調べた時点で検察の負け。選挙演説として喋った内容を名誉毀損の内容とするなら、選挙運動への「言論弾圧」となるので、流石に裁判は無理じゃないですか。別件ででの捜査で、別件の起訴なら分かるけど。これだと、検察はただ嫌がらせしただけとなり、立花氏の今後の活動を助けただけですね。

或いは、別件の捜査はまだ進行してるのか？

You will love this site to make the plan.

If you can not find a great deal on rental campers, you can rent an SUV or normal van and you can still sleep in the sleeping bag. You can rent a car and buy a sleeping bag and a tent if necessary. There are a lot of commercial camping sites in France. I drove my 2-seater cabriolet and did the whole Tour and extra for more than 5 weeks last summer with my cat. So it's possible. Maybe you have a family with you so you really need a camper van and that's something I don't know.

One advantage of a smaller car is you get to park on the narrow roadside where no big campers can.

I also wrote something here.

Roading Alpe d'Huez is fun but you have to choose the right time. On the stage day, only early in the morning to have fun. Otherwise there are too many people on the road.

If you plan to stay at so-called Dutch corner, I recommend that you leave you bike in your van. It is too crowded. Godspeed.

Moats were the defense weapon but offense weapons are not so known except just waiting outside by cutting off the food supply. If you look at well-known siege incidents, the recluses suffered from famine. Were you expecting Japanese version of trebuchets?

No. I did not run up. She along with one of her teammates stopped. It was during the training ride (Thursday and Friday many teams come) so they could stop. I was painting on the road and they stopped because they wanted their names there (that prestigious la Redoute). I got their bottles for my service. This happens a lot.

She is a nice person. I first had a chat with her on the climb of la Redoute (Liège-Bastogne-Liège) I believe in 2024 when the EF team came by while training before the race. I wish her a successful year in 2026.

Your post made me firmly believe that I was right about my repeated recommendation, namely I recommended people coming to the Tour to bring their flags (whatever they may be). Spectators, media (TV crew and photo journalists), caravan people and others are happy to see your colors (flags). Good job!

Some might say running Windows is the best bet to have the most out of it. Somebody please tell me if I'm wrong but running a game on two GPUs together takes Windows to accomplish it. Mac OS won't cut it, right? I don't really know as I don't game on my Mac Pro5,1.

By what authority do you say that?

I meant you are free to use Kanji.

The downvotes that my commnents are getting is from racist Japanese. It does not concern you at all.

I'm Japanese born, raised and educated.

Is it (use of Kanji) restricted by law or by some regulations? I have never heard of anything like that.

I know that naturalized foreigners can make new KOSEKI with anything they like use of Kanji, Katakana or whatever. They can even change their born name (surname or given) since they are creating a new record. This is completely separate and different matter.

This person is talking about everyday use of Kanji as expressing the name. Does the Japanese government force foreigners not to use Kanji? Do they issue or post some guidelines for Kanji use by foreigners?

Don't hate the player like me! Please hate the game!

The executives of seven11 make tons of million of salary and you have to pay for their salaries, so yes.

Did you send it in Japanese or English? If in English, they might have thought it was a spam.

According to some economic statistic figures, an average guy in the USA gets significantly more salary than a Japanese counterpart. The price reflects the gap.

Unless the city hall building of Rumoi City in Hokkaido has been destroyed by fires or earthquakes, they have the record from the 1950's and before. It may be possible to make an inquiry via Internet but their answer won't be definite as there's privacy concerns and the city may not be able to give you detailed information, I guess. I hope they accept English inquiry if they have online inquiry form.

The passport information may belong to Japanese ministry of foreign affairs (I don't know their exact name). They may be able to help but again possible privacy issues. One thing is sure that they will accept any English inquiries.

If they ask for the items you have for proof that you have the right to the documents they have, you have to go there.

Concerns for the possible earthquakes hitting Tokyo in near future have been around for many years. One of the effective tactics is dispersing or relocating the functions of capital concentrated in Tokyo to another location. I don't think any solid proposals will surface soon.

Personally I don't want to live in a high-rise in Tokyo. Disruption of water, electricity, gas, logistics and communication services will wreak havoc as you can imagine but not too many people seem to care.

The fact is if one (a Japanese person in general) experiences so many earthquakes, one gets used to them and gets numb. Most of them are optimistic that they will survive. And where does this optimism come from? Maybe just maybe it comes from seeing what happened in locations hit by disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis and so on), people believe there won't be riots, looting or pillaging among fellow Japanese.

People are more pessimistic about their Country's economic/demographic future but more optimistic about natural disasters.

You might take a look at this first and ask your specific questions.

If you are a stage diving guy, so-called Dutch corner is your place.

Year, right. 魚河岸 means generally fish merchants or markets.

魚寿しsame as 魚寿司 (Fish Sushi) and the middle character is simplified.

What does duolingo say?

Why don't you ask what いる mean? いる itself means 'to stay' anyway. She went back and staying at her parents' for some reasons (undisclosed here). What is the big mystery?

Why don't you (OP) post it in English? Specially when the title of this post end in "and what do foreigners think of it?" If you want to involve foreigners, it is better to post it in English.

Internationally? Actually its Hollywood replicas like 'The Magnificent Seven' movies are more famous. So people don't really recognize this movie. Influential, yes.

Siskel and Ebert rated "IKIRU (1962)" higher than others although not so internationally famous.

Is it purely investment into rail infrastructure? In Luxembourg the rail system (or any public transportation system) is free of charge. So maybe this investment includes the money that the government is paying for that (salaries, fuel, electricity and etc. to keep the trains going)? Or their recent tram construction fees made it soar?

Have you looked at the NATO contribution by country? If the US pulls out, there's nothing left! Just look at the numbers!

Denial is a river in Egypt and the first response from a person who is asked a difficult question. Thank you very much.

The US is polite enough not to say that the US is pulling out of NATO soon. When this happens all Europeans including you will be peeing in your pants. Do you really think you can f*ck the US? Only in your dream!

Exactly! つるっと and つるつる are words maybe you can find in normal dictionaries. The former is an adverb meaning smoothly as in skidding, sliding, slipping. The latter can be used as つるつるな or つるつるの meaning smooth and it can be an adverb meaning the same as former.

りん is a kind of word that attaches to some so-called onomatopoeia like ぺろ (= expressing the action of tongue like licking same formation can be done as つる thus ぺろぺろ、ぺろっと).

りん, I believe, came from つるり(と) meaning 'in a skidding manner' and this りと or りlater mutated into りん. I believe this りis explained somewhere in your grammar book.

つるりん or ぺろりん are common.

Thus your guess is exact. It refers to something smooth as skin.

Japanese learn these words by rote. They are so commonly used in everyday life. I don't believe it's the sixth sense. I believe the more words you learn, the easier acquiring new words.

The following belongs to a trash can so don't read it!

Personally I don't like the word onomatopoeia (definition: back-formation of word from sound). There are words like expressive and imitative and they are different. I believe you know these words. An expressive word is a word not based on the sound the action that word describes and an imitative word is based on the sound. An imitative word, Zzzz is the sound of snoring for one whereas imitative words are not so common in English (exclusively found in comics?).

The line between these two is sometimes so thin and people eventually gave up discerning them. Thus the use of onomatopoeia spread, I suspect.

I am used to criticism and here I am still sticking to classic and traditional terminology.

じりじり expressive: an image of the sun ray scorching

ひしひし expressive: an image of burden on one's mind taking a toll

ほとほと expressive: an image of mental fatigue of repeated dismay

ぱったり imitative?: the sound of a fall of some object although almost entirely expressive word of an image of sudden discontinuation

どしどし imitative: the sound of rushing arrival of people but used as an image of keen interest

みっちり expressive: an image of drilling of one's mental and physical strength

ごしごし imitative (likely): the sound of friction of cloths like the one during handwashing

めきめき expressive: an image of gradual progression of one's skill

I believe if President Trump pulls out of NATO, Von der Leyen is the first person to seek asylum in the USA.

Democracy in Europe is an oxymoron. The fact that she was never elected by any people to be what she is confirms the irony.

Please send my sincere regards to your tribe!

Don't let me down! If you stop here everybody thinks your intelligence level is below me. Strike me down, Anakin! You will be stronger!

I'm happy to talk to you. You recognized that learning from the past is important. Native American thing was just a decoy. Then please explain to me in the spirit of learning from the past why we are seeing the conflict of Ukraine and Russia now. Please include your view on the Ukrainian history of past 30 years since the unification of Germany and when your president promised Soviet Union that NATO would not expand even one inch toward east and subsequently broke the promise. What was Hunter Biden doing? Why some extremely high-ranking and promising Ukrainian politicians (like president candidate) had American wives?

Additionally why American people were ecstatic when Rambo said, "They did the first blood (Rambo I)" where they were not happy to recognize the first blood done by Western allies in Ukraine?

Please I beg you! I'm on my knees!

You see the point? Those Ukrainians and Russian who are there now will say in the future that "We were led to fight by ....." And you just say bullshit?

No I'm not but you are

What did you learn from your schoolbooks? You don't have to answer this question here. Those schoolbooks, I am certain, said the your government and those people have agreed on some terms. Right? Giving some selected people rights to open Casinos and get rich where other many are under .... How touching!

That's what I heard. Not all EU countries have this agreement. Germany was the first, I think even before 2003 or so. Recently (PM Abe's period around 2015?) additional countries signed the treaty. Check your country's government!

If you have a permanent residence visa, you can keep living in Japan. I don't think US government has agreed to have a reciprocal pension system with Japan. Some EU countries and Japan have agreed on this. I encourage you guys to do it. For me, it's too boring not to have English speaking people in Japan.

Don't you know that many EU countries reciprocal treaty with Japan regarding pension system? If any person can obtain residence visa, this person gets pension from Japanese government including the period that this person paid their government.

So you think you are completely from the injustice your people did on Native Americans or other people? How nice!

If you don't speak English, just stay in your room and be quiet!

You don't find all the injustice against Native Americans by your people disgusting? What is your definition of something disgusting?

Someone like me who learns from the past, you mean?

... smells like 911 ...

Thank you very much for sacrificing yourself for showing the world what some Chinese people are really like. I’m very grateful. I was waiting for you to say it. I can not thank you enough!

You can say that to Vietnamese and what would they say about so-called Lai Dai Han?

So X banned Chinese government accounts and suddenly they have to rely on reddit for their international propaganda? reddit needs X's function to locate or identify the poster's true identity. Some redditors pretending to be Americans got to be fake.

You don't know anything at all. Do you know that there were numerous international meetings among countries all these years (you listed) and so-called Chinese representatives who signed and agreed to various "international treaties and such" were random representatives sent from whoever received the invitations? Some of them had almost no relations to those government names you listed.

Whoever received the invitation = those bureaucrats staying in the former government building in the old capital city.

You also have much to learn from the past.

Who said it? Einstein? Did I lie? If so what was it? Tell me!

Please read the comments down the line. I meant something else.

Yes. I thank you for the same. I'm overjoyed. We have free society and free thinking and the ability to learn from the past.

Do you?

My bad. I meant the FDR's memo back in 1937 stating that US authorities should list all the Japanese nationals in Oahu, Hawaii on the blacklist so that all them can easily be sent to concentration camps in case of grave incidents. So even in 1937 FDR knew that Pearl Harbor Attack was coming. Maybe he (and his military staff) wanted it to happen?? He already had the scenario?? It (sending to camps) did not happen by accident. It was planned long before

Not at all! I just asked you a question. Why so upset? I don't know why you feel attacked. Did I?

So you don't want to answer the question. OK, that really means something to me. Thank you for your contribution!

And you don't know the history of so-called China at that time. What was 'China' at that time? Can you name the government or governments? Who were really ruling the area?

Your are forgetting that there were multiple laws forbidding Japanese nationals (immigrants in the US) to own a piece of land, even lease. Japanese nationals were confined to camps before the war. They were mainly farmers.

If Japan had done the same to US citizens in Japan, how would your country have acted? I know you guys will go crazy over this comment but I just want you to answer this question.

Now you can freely reproach me! Go ahead!

If asked (what comes to your mind when you hear the word Shojin?), any Japanese would come up with this expression (used usually in formal situations); Shojin suru. It means 'to make continuous efforts (thus to improve oneself)' and it is well known. So it is true.

The other answer would be "Shojin Ryori". It is simply like that.

I'm sorry I did not take much time to translate it. Yeah, I can see it is love luck focused Omikuji from the text. Godspeed!

No. 14 Sue-kichi (less luck)

(on a scale of Dai-kichi = best luck, Chuu-kichi, Kichi, Sue-kichi, Kyo, Dai-kyo = worst bad luck)

Your wrenching unrequited love takes a heavy toll on your mind. The more sincere you are, the more stifled you may feel.

You should let yourself go, relaxed, relying on good relationship of gods of "Gion Yasaka Shrine"

Encounter: You don't recognize the one who has feeling towards you and the chances are lost. Pray go and look into yourself.

Love: It all depends on your attitude. You should appreciate the reciprocal feelings.

Lucky item: Reading

Why does the title translate to "Developed countries are learning animal chess"? I'm just curious what you guys are talking.
