In the 1970s, idols had an aura of mystique that left much of their lifestyles secret. Their public and "private" lives were carefully orchestrated—they always appeared perfect in all situations and seemed to enjoy a lavish lifestyle that most Japanese could only dream about. In reality, however, they were placed under continuous surveillance by their promoters and were unable to enjoy the private lives invented for them. Their pay was surprisingly low. They were often overworked and even if their songs sold well most of the money went to the musicians and writers. Fans had few opportunities to see them beyond a few minutes on TV or radio and it was difficult to share their interests. Magazines were the best source for information and many idols had an official fan club that periodically mailed what little information could be released.

The culture of Japanese idols has changed over the years and it is questionable whether past idols would have the same amount of success if given the same opportunity today. Most of those called idols have sung songs that would fit J-Pop and they are generally pretty, cute, or fresh-faced, if not beautiful. However, there are exceptions to the norm.

The potential is clearly massive. In Japan, graphic novels have been a major part of society since the late 1940s, and the art form has become a key export to countries both in Asia and the West. But while printed books are costly to translate and distribute, digital propagation could make manga's influence practically limitless. Takarajima Wondernet already has fledgling plans to offer its stories to mobile phone users in the United States or around Asia once it finds partners in those countries, and faces relatively low costs to do so. In addition, it will be easier to tweak the digital content to suit foreign users.

The showcase will feature early to advanced stage developments in the fields of physical and life sciences from several prominent Japanese universities. Included among the presenters are faculty members from Nagoya University - recently in the news for its three Nobel laureates in Physics and Chemistry - partnering universities in the Central region of Japan, Keio, Kyoto and Kitakyushu Universities.
Nagoya University and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), will present an innovations event entitled "Next Generation Japanese Technology Showcase" to be held on January 14th, 2009 at the Cornell Club New York in Mid-town Manhattan.

The event provides a forum for such top Japanese research institutions to demonstrate an array of cutting edge technologies, while providing an informative, networking opportunity for investors and corporations who wish to find tomorrow's global technological solutions to their business needs today.

Because of settlement, building structures can be damaged. And, when the level of settlement is more than an allowable one, building will be considered as dangerous situation. Especially, in case of unstable foundations, if there is no repairation, building may be collapsed anytime.

At the present, there is insufficient information collection and methods of repairation for analysing the causes of settlement. So this project is aimed to researching, collecting and analysing the cause and pattern of settlement,and also, showing the adventages around the updated underpinning systems. Then, The four case studies were analysed and discussed in the topic of causes of settlement of building and method of repairation.

"Japan is known for their advanced technology. And yet, the licensing activities of Japanese universities are less than one-one thousandth of the activities seen among American universities," says Taro Yaguchi, President of JTG, a technology transfer company organizing the event. "By introducing the American business, research and investment communities to the advanced innovations being developed in Japan, I hope to bring the level of collaboration between academia and industry that much closer to the level seen in this country."

There are projected sixteen technologies being showcased during the event. The conference will also include a technology match-making breakfast session where businesses can have one-on-one time with researchers to learn more about their innovations. There will also be a gala reception following the presentations.
