Minoru Yamasaki - Minoru Yamasaki Minoru Yamasaki (December 1, 1912 - February 6, 1986) was an American architect, born in Seattle, Washington, a second-generation Japanese-American. Despite a poor background, he earned a degree from the University of Washington, where he paid his way by working in a salmon cannery. After moving to New York in the 1930s, he got a job with the architecture firm Shreve, Lamb and Hermon, designers of the Empire State Building. His first significant project was the Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis, Missouri, 1955. Despite his love of Japanese traditional design, this was a stark, modernist concrete structure. So unpopular was it that it was demolished in 1975. He also designed several "sleek" international airport buildings and was responsible for the innovative design of.
University of Washington - which used to be a golf course. There are also branch campuses in Tacoma and Bothell. The campus was also the site of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909; the layout of the fair permanently affected the layout of the campus.

Pruitt-Igoe - failures of public housing in American history. Designed in 1951 by architect Minoru Yamasaki (who would later design the World Trade Center), it consisted of 33 11-story apartment buildings on a 57-acre site, totaling 2,870 apartments, and was completed five years later. The project was commissioned as part of the post-WWII federal housing program, as an attempt to bring people back to the city, but within a few years it quickly fell into disrepair and disuse. Many of the architectural design elements of Pruitt-Igoe, such as its galleries and "skip-stop" elevators (which stopped only at certain floors in an attempt to lessen congestion), turned out to be at best inconveniences and at worst breeding grounds for crime. The buildings remained largely vacant for years, and after several failed attempts to rehabilitate.
World Trade Center - in New York City was a complex of several buildings around a central plaza, near the foot of Manhattan . It was designed by American architect Minoru Yamasaki with Antonio Brittiochi, and was one of the most striking American implementations of the architectural ethic of Le Corbusier, as well as the seminal expression of Yamasaki's gothic modernist tendencies. Constructed in the early 1970s under the auspices of the semi-autonomous Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the WTC had its ribbon-cutting ceremony in April 4, 1973. Ultimately the complex came to consist of 7 buildings, but its most notable features were the main twin towers. On any given day, some 50,000 people worked in the towers. Although the towers became an undeniable icon of New York City, they were not.

Kitano Takeshi - heavily. The result was a financial and critical success in Japan. Kitano's second film as director and first film as screenwriter, released in 1990, was 3-4x Jugatsu (３－４Ｘ１０月) (literally, "Third and Fourth of October", but released with the English title Boiling Point). In it, Masahiko Ono starred as a shiftless young man, a member of a losing local baseball team, whose coach is threatened by a local yakuza. He teams up with a friend to go to Okinawa and buy guns so they can get revenge, but along the way they drift into gangster Uehara (Kitano)'s orbit, with unsettling results. Kitano's trademark black humor suffuses the film in many ways: at one point, the boy finally does get a gun, but shoots out the windshield of his girlfriend's car by mistake..
Yakult - health. It has a natural citrus flavor. The name is derived from Jahurto, which is Esperanto for "yoghurt." Yakult was invented by Kyoto University pediatrics professor Shirota Minoru in 1930. In 1955, he founded the Yakult Corporation to market his beverage. Since then, Yakult has also introduced a line of beverages for the Japanese market that contain Bifidobacterium breve bacteria, and has also used its lactobacilli research to develop cosmetics. More recently, the Yakult Corporation played a major role in developing the cancer drug Camptosar (CPT-11). Yakult also owns one of Japan's major baseball francises, the Yakult Swallows. Today, Yakult is manufactured and sold in Japan, Asia, Latin America, and Europe, although its bacteria cultures are still imported from a mother strain in Japan regardless of production location..

The other two are Dosaku (1677 - 1702) and Shusaku (1829 - 1862)."

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - awarded 2 points for kicking his or her opponent in the body and 3 points for kicks delivered to the head. Perhaps because of these point scoring systems or simply due to the general ineffectiveness of these forms, these competitions usually turn into games of foot tag with little or no resemblance to actual hand to hand combat. The main emphasis in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, both in tournaments as on the street is the same. Dominate the opponent through skillful application of technique and force them to quit (submit) or be knocked out or physically damaged. It is not uncommon to witness a smaller practitioner, male or female, control much larger and stronger opponents and actually force that larger opponent to submit. Belt ranking in BJJ is quite different from most.
