What’s up everyone, in today’s episode, I’m going to focus on a game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks in 2012 called Dishonored. It’s a pretty nice action-stealth game featuring political conspiracy, vengeance story and black magic in an environment inspired by the best steampunk fictions. Enjoy.

Here is the link to the transcript (including also the game’s webpage): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPyCE5HZuD9F2vw3fTOzvQYDs6j1dzr_3AH_gaiItac/edit

JAPÓN Y MÉXICO.

Los primeros contactos de amistad entre México y Japón se dieron con el naufragio del Galeón San Francisco frente a las costas de Iwawada (hoy Onjuku) en su camino de regreso de las Filipinas a la Nueva España el 30 de septiembre de 1609, cuando los tripulantes del galeón recibieron ayuda de la población de esa localidad japonesa. Gracias a esta acción, se salvaron 317 tripulantes, de 376 que viajaban en la nave. El gobernante japonés de la época, el shogún Tokugawa Ieyasu, ordenó a un ex marino inglés, William Adams, que facilitara a los novohispanos una nueva embarcación, que se llamó el San Buenaventura, en la que lograron retornar a la Nueva España casi un año después, el 23 de octubre de 1610.

Los primeros visitantes japoneses llegaron a México en 1610, en principio sólo acompañando a Rodrigo de Vivero en su viaje de retorno. En 1614, Hasekura Tsunenaga llegó a Acapulco con 60 samuráis y 130 comerciantes. 

Productos japoneses como textiles, biombos y objetos de arte llegaban esporádicamente a la Nueva España, transportados en el Galeón de Acapulco a Manila. Al igual que en otras naciones asiáticas, en Japón se extendió el uso de monedas de plata mexicana durante varios siglos. Asimismo, en 1732 fue publicado en la Ciudad de México un libro sobre el idioma japonés. 

 Los contactos oficiales reiniciarían hasta el siglo XIX después de la Restauración Meiji en Japón y de que México obtuviera su independencia.

En 1874 una comisión mexicana de astrónomos, encabezada por Francisco Díaz Covarrubias, viajó a Japón para observar el paso del planeta Venus por el círculo solar el 9 de diciembre y  a partir de esas observaciones, determinar las dimensiones reales del sistema solar. La Comisión presentó un largo y bien documentado reporte sobre sus observaciones astronómicas que recibió elogios de sus colegas estadounidenses, franceses y rusos. También produjeron un notable reporte sobre la situación económica, política y social de Japón...

JAPÓN Y MÉXICO 1.

Governments across the world are busy encouraging people to buy electric vehicles (EVs) as countries try to meet climate targets.

In some places, customers have been given incentives to buy EVs, making them cheaper than oil-powered cars at the showroom.

But drivers have been wondering whether new EVs will hold their value over time.

It's a topic that has received a lot of attention online. A number of different sites report that in many markets the prices of secondhand EVs are depreciating faster than the prices of oil-powered cars.

Depreciation is to be expected with all vehicles. As soon as a new car is driven away from the showroom, it loses some of its value.

But aging EVs are a little different to aging oil-powered cars — they come with a unique set of challenges.

In the first half of 2023, Car Dealer magazine reported that 29 of the top 30 biggest depreciating used cars were EVs.

The EV market is growing all the time, and while a few years ago there was not enough supply to meet customer demand, that's no longer the case.

Previously, customers looking for an EV might have settled for a used vehicle, but they don't have to anymore.

New models may also promise newer battery technology or longer battery life, causing people to choose a new vehicle over an older one. Perhaps they are also encouraged by those generous government incentives to buy new.

But it might not be all bad news for EV owners who are looking to sell their used vehicles. Writing for Euronews, Geraldine Herbert argues that increased public confidence in EVs will help slow depreciation rates, because people will feel more comfortable buying older vehicles.

In the next few years, the EV market will keep growing as countries end sales of new oil-powered cars, and according to Herbert this means that more EVs will keep more of their value over time.
