Jumping Robot

pretty awesome looking robot

The 38-centimeter-high and 1.6-kilogram robot, dubbed “Ropid,” was developed by the company’s president, 34-year-old Tomotaka Takahashi, over two and a half years. Boasting the highest jumping ability among humanoid robots, the Ropid can quickly bend its knees and ankles and jump to a height of eight centimeters using a built-in belt that links its joints. –Mainichi

Win free tickets to “Honiefaith” in Tokyo

free-tickets-2

When a Filipino hostess’ dismembered body is discovered in a Tokyo coin locker, Manila newspaper reporter Victor Balmori is dispatched to Japan. Balmori is looking for a story, he finds a nightmare.
Written by long-time Tokyoite Monty DiPietro, “Honiefaith” is a three-act play about people pushed into extraordinary circumstances demanding difficult choices. The premiere of “Honiefaith” at OUR SPACE in Hatagaya, opens the Tokyo International Players’ new “Second Stage” series, and is being directed by TIP president Jonah Hagans.

Jonah Hagans (director): “I’m very excited to be working directly with the author on a production, this is the first opportunity I’ve had to build a piece up from the very beginning. ‘Honiefaith’ involves so much interpersonal dynamic — the challenge for me working with the actors has been developing the connection to the character and each other, and bringing out the genuine emotion and feeling to maximize the play’s impact.”

Monty DiPietro (playwright): “In the spring of 2008 I read a news report about the death of Honiefaith Ratilla Kamiosawa, and began imagining characters and their reactions to the tragedy. The ideas became notes and the notes became a script. I’m honored that TIP is producing ‘Honiefaith’, watching Jonah and the cast bringing the story to life has been thrilling, and a little terrifying.”

“Honiefaith” is based on real events. Some scenes contain violence that may not be suitable for small children.

The production will take place at Our Space near Hatagaya station in Tokyo from November 6th until November 8th, 2009. Show time and ticket information can be found here.

How To Enter This Contest:

To enter, send an e-mail to honiefaith@gmail.com with “Japan Probe” in the “subject” line, before Monday November 2. The tickets are for opening night, Friday November 6 at 7:00 pm, winners will be notified by e-mail.

Estrada says he wants war in Philippines

O_o

MANILA — Former Philippine leader Joseph Estrada vowed Tuesday to launch an all-out war to end decades of deadly Muslim and communist insurgencies should he be re-elected as president next year.

The tough-talking movie action star, who will formally launch his presidential campaign on Wednesday, said the Southeast Asian nation’s economic woes could be cured by bringing peace and order to the often lawless countryside.

“We have to declare an all-out war against insurgencies to earn peace,” Estrada, 72, told a United Nations anti-poverty forum of presidential candidates when asked about their priorities should they win.

Estrada was elected in 1998 and, before being ousted from office three years later in a military-backed popular revolt, employed tough policies against Muslim and communist rebels.

He scored some major successes, including capturing the sprawling main base of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on Mindanao island.

The military under his command also pressed hard against the communist New People’s Army.

Both insurgent groups have been waging rebellions over the past four decades, leading to thousands of deaths and scaring away investors from the countryside.

Estrada’s successor, incumbent Gloria Arroyo, launched peace talks with both rebel groups, and even signed a ceasefire with the MILF.

But Estrada said this policy had only emboldened the rebels.

“We talk peace, sign a ceasefire, but insurgencies continue, the bombings continue, the kidnappings continue,” he said.

His comments came more than a week after an Irish missionary was kidnapped by gunmen on Mindanao, the latest in a long list of abductions in the south.

Estrada was ousted in 2001 amid allegations of widespread corruption. He was convicted of large-scale graft and sentenced to life in jail in 2007, but Arroyo pardoned and freed him six weeks later.

Estrada is currently running a distant third in opinion polls of candidates for the May 2010 elections, although he still has powerful political supporters and some support among poor Filipinos.

Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, son of late democracy heroine Corazon Aquino, is leading the polls.
