"Japanese Students at Cambridge University in the Meiji Era, 1868-1912: Pioneers for the Modernization of Japan" - A Translation from a Japanese Original

Cambridge University graduate, university professor in Japan and expatriate author Ian Ruxton (48) has recently published an English translation of a book by Noboru Koyama, librarian of the Cambridge University Library in charge of the Japanese and Korean collections.

When I first read the book in Japanese I realized it was an important work and one which demanded to be translated," explains Professor Ruxton. This story is simply unknown outside Japan, and it goes a long way to explaining how Japan managed to modernize so rapidly in the 19th century after the Black Ships of U.S. Commodore Perry came calling in 1853. It was no longer necessary or sensible to rely on translations of Dutch texts. The best way, apart from bringing foreign experts to Japan, was for young Japanese to be sent to leading universities such as Cambridge and others in Europe and the U.S.A."

Bipolar Central Posts One Hundredth Article

Bipolar Central is celebrating the posting of their one hundredth article about Bipolar Disorder on www.bipolarcentral.com. The articles are not only written for people who have Bipolar Disorder, but also for supporters of loved ones with the disorder.

Other articles are just too confusing or boring, or they are only written for people who have the disorder. David Oliver, the founder of www.bipolarcentral.com, began writing his own articles about Bipolar Disorder because he felt that most sites on the Internet only focus on narrow issues related to Bipolar Disorder such as what the disorder is, what medications there are and technical issues that are generally over the average person's head.

Haylo Clothing Company launches Clothing with a Cause-tm" Campaign

It all began on June 1, 2005- Clint haylo" and Rebecca Dunning, founders of Haylo Clothing Company, a hip Christian line of apparel, arent just in it for the buck. Business for them is also about touching the poorest of the poor.

Rebecca says, I began to research the AIDS pandemic after reading an interview with Bono of U2 about the need to address the issue of AIDS and debt in third world countries. It hit me at a heart level when I heard Bono say, If the church doesnt respond to this, [the AIDS pandemic] the church will be made irrelevant." We realized that that had better be us. We better rise up against this global disaster. With this heart my husband and I launched our clothing line in March of this year. Our desire is to do something about poverty and sickness as well as to see older teens and young adults impacted by redeemed art that gives props to Jesus without being an embarrassment to wear.
