TOKYO Josh Reynolds Rams Jersey , Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- One of the major Japanese daily newspapers, the Yomiuri Shimbun, on Friday apologized for explaining "comfort women" as "sex slave or servitude" in the previous stories of its English-language daily, calling the explanation a misnomer that led to misunderstandings.
The apology said that the Daily Yomiuri, now known as the Japan News John Johnson Rams Jersey , used the expression "sex slave or servitude" to explain " comfort women" in 97 stories from 1992 to 2013, adding it apologizes for the misunderstandings caused by the improper wording.
The Yomiuri said it was difficult for foreigners who had no relevant knowledge to understand the word "comfort women," which is an euphemism for women forced into sex slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, and therefore the newspaper cited foreign reports and added explanations.
The newspaper took a report released on Aug. 30, 1997 as an example Cooper Kupp Rams Jersey , saying the story used the explanation as "the issue of ' comfort women,' who were forced into sexual servitude by the Imperial Japanese Army," emphasizing the explanation was added based on wrong recognition after referring to foreign reports and the Yomiuri maintains a different view on the explanation.
A staff of the Women's Active Museum on War and Peace, which fights for the rights of "comfort women" victims, told Xinhua Friday that the so-called apology by Yomiuri proved that the newspaper totally neglected the fact that women under the Japanese wartime military brothels were in a status of "sex slavery."
Japan's right-wingers have spared no efforts to whitewash or deny the country's wartime wrongdoing Gerald Everett Rams Jersey , including the "comfort women" issue. In August, Japan's Asahi Shimbun acknowledged "major errors" in many articles on the "comfort women" issue, retracting all stories dating back decades ago that quoted Seiji Yoshida, a Japanese man who claimed he kidnapped about 200 Korean women and forced them to work at wartime Japanese military brothels.
Although Japan issued the 1993 "Kono Statement," in which then Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoheo Kono admitted the Japanese army involved in recruiting women "through coaxing Todd Gurley II Rams Jersey , coercion, etc.," the current Japanese government under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe denies that the women were "forcibly recruited" as Abe defined " forcibly recruitment" as Japanese soldiers took those women directly from their houses.
Japan's relations with neighboring countries, particularly South Korea and China, frayed by its attempts to distort history Rush Jamon Brown Jersey , with the two countries constantly urging Japan to face up to its past.
The United Nations in July urged Japan to take "immediate and effective legislative and administrative measures" to ensure that all allegations of sexual slavery are investigated and perpetrators prosecuted.
The Yomiuri Shimbun is conservative and sometimes considered a central-right newspaper. It had a combined morning and evening circulation of almost 13.5 million for its national edition as of mid-2011.
Welcome back to our four-part article series on the tiny microorganisms that live in your mouth. In our previous article post, the dentists we spoke to in Colorado Springs revealed that (1) there are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people living on the plant (that’s a number in excess of 7 billion!) and (2) that over 700 different species of oral bacteria have been identified. Thankfully, most of them are incapable of making you sick, but they all contribute to the formation of plaque and acidic wastes that cause cavities and tooth decay.
Let’s continue with some more fascinating facts about the critters that call your mouth “home”!
Fascinating Fact # 3…
Everyone has that annoying friend or family member who has no qualms about letting their pet cat or dog lick their fingers and face. They tend to say things like: “Oh a dog has far less germs in its mouth than humans.”
Well, that may be the case Rush Rob Havenstein Jersey , but as much as you love your dog, you don’t want its saliva all over you! If you don’t let other people lick your face, why would you let an animal that doesn’t even brush its teeth drool on you?
A dog’s mouth isn’t any “cleaner” than a human’s.
The reality is there is no scientific foundation for the claims of that kooky aunt or friend of yours. “A cat or dog’s mouth is just as full of germs as yours is,” says a dentist in Colorado Spring. In fact, there are more than 100 different kinds of germs in dog spit that can make you sick Rush Tyler Higbee Jersey , so think twice the next time you cuddle with Fido. Letting your dog lick your face and (ugh) mouth is NOT the most hygienic of habits and certainly won’t endear you to your girlfriend who is now expected to kiss you.
Fascinating Fact # 4…
You’ve spent a good ten minutes stacking the perfect sandwich: pastrami, American cheese, pickles, avocado, tomato Rush Jared Goff Jersey , mayonnaise, yellow mustard and two beautiful slices of wheat bread. You grab the plate in your right hand and your giant glass of soda in your left. Spying the TV remote on the counter you try to pick that up with your right hand as well and end up dropping your gorgeous sandwich all over the kitchen floor.
Oh well! 5 Second rule!
Hastily scooping it together, you reassemble your now decidedly less regal-looking food tower and throw caution to the wind… hello lunch! But wait…
