JAL to ax about 170 pilots, flight attendants

TOKYO, Japan - Pilots and flight attendants of Japan Airlines Corp. ask the company to retract its plan to cut some 170 pilots and flight attendants in Tokyo on Dec. 27, 2010, as its voluntary retirement program has failed to meet a job reduction target under its revival efforts.

      Kanagawa University's Hybrid Rocket

      The Aerospace Structures Laboratory of Kanagawa University will conduct a flight demonstration in September of a hybrid rocket whose components are being jointly developed with a small and medium-sized manufacturing company in Ota-ku, Tokyo. The target altitude is a maximum of 15 kilometers, and in order to reach this altitude, the vehicle has been made larger than before, and the basic technology will be established with the aim of reaching the target altitude of 100 kilometers by 2022. The ratio of propellant to the total weight of the rocket has also been increased. Up to now, the machining of the parts had been done in the Aerospace Structures Laboratory of Kanagawa University, but with the increase in size of the vehicle, they began to collaborate with companies. "In the future, we want to develop a rocket that can launch small satellites quickly and inexpensively," without using special technology.

        Asahi Breweries "Dare to Bottle" promotional tool

        As part of its efforts to expand sales of beer for business use, Asahi Breweries will launch a nationwide "Dare to Bottle" sales promotion program for bottled beer at restaurants. The idea is to promote the value of drinking beer in small groups or at one's own pace, other than at banquets, mainly to young people. The company will provide promotional tools such as posters for in-store use. Based on the results of tests conducted at about 10 stores in Tokyo, the company plans to expand the program nationwide. "Dare to bottle" is used as a keyword to make consumers reaffirm the value of bottled beer. In addition to the need to toast with a large group of people and the need to have a good time, it also emphasizes the value of communicating with friends by pouring a bottle and drinking at one's own pace.
