TOKYO, JAPAN, January 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) RYU-Co (Tatsuo Sato, founder and CEO) is introducing the peer-to-peer (P2P) social local guide matching service "Shiroube", which has been co-developed with tech-partner Mafe and is now in operation.
"Shiroube" links travellers with local residents, and enables users to freely seek guides (such as for help with organising a trip, guiding, sharing travel experiences, and earning pocket money), and to utilise it as a means of sharing new travel experiences.
The service enables travellers to visit places that only actual residents know about, and to have communication with real local people. By interacting with tourists visiting from other cultures, local guides can have a variety of new experiences with some reward. The website is simple and easy to use, with no hassle for either travellers or guides. Users can easily select by country, by browsing the map or by activities.
On previous trips, travellers travelled using package tours or guidebooks, and visited ordinary places, having to ask for expensive guides. This service brings in the concept of Internet Social P2P (interactions among individuals), and proposes inexpensive guides and new travel ideas and experiences for travellers. As for guides, it allows them to experience new cultures. It's a whole new travel tool, and the growing worldwide "Shiroube" is the world's first service to enrich personal travel experiences.

WhenWomenCheat.com Presents Generation Beta-Male: The New Role for Men in Modern Love Relationships
2011-01-20
Surveys show that almost half of us want to cheat on our partner and it appears that women are increasingly surpassing men in regards to infidelity. The author David Nicosia Longhi wanted to take a new look at these modern tendencies and earlier in 2010 he published his book in Denmark with the title "Kvinden & Aeblerne" which became an immediate Danish bestseller in its category. The book which has now been translated into English.
In his book he challenges the myth of men being the worst cheaters and thereby breaking a taboo about the modern woman's sexual demands ...
DIY HCG Presents The Revolutionary HCG Diet Protocol and Separates Real Diet Experts from Quick Buck Artists
2011-01-20
It's apparent to anyone paying attention that the US has become The Overweight Society. Due to sedentary work and lifestyles, and both a lack of healthy foods and overeating in many American diets, the latest surveys show that more than two-thirds of US adults are classified as either overweight or obese. Of this total the number who qualify as obese is one-third, while 10% of children and adolescents are also considered too heavy for their age, according to a 2010 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
And as anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, ...
Aberrations in adipose tissue could increase risk of diabetes in PCOS
2011-01-19
A study from the University of Gothenburg, shows that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have aberrations in their adipose (fat) tissue. This discovery could provide answers as to why these women develop type 2 diabetes more readily, and shows that it is important for their health that women with PCOS do not put on weight.
"We already know that women with PCOS often have insulin resistance, in other words the body's cells are less sensitive to insulin, and are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes," says Louise Mannerås-Holm, a researcher at the Department ...
Beating the competition
2011-01-19
A single new connection can dramatically enhance the size of a network – no matter whether this connection represents an additional link in the Internet, a new acquaintance within a circle of friends or a connection between two nerve cells in the brain. The results, which are published in Nature Physics, were part of a theoretical study carried out researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPIDS), the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Göttingen and the University Göttingen. This study mathematically describes for the first ...
Activation of PPAR α/γ mediates remote IPC against myocardial infarction
2011-01-19
Although vast improvements have been made in the clinical care of patients suffering from an acute myocardial infarction, heart attacks still remain the No.1 cause of death in the western world. A promising approach in overcoming this troublesome issue is to make use of an innate cardioprotective response: the ability of short ischemic episodes to precondition the heart against a subsequent prolonged ischemic insult. This powerful form of protection not only reduces the resultant damage up to 50%, but can also be initiated from a distance, such as by using repetitive blood-pressure ...
'UKIP poised for success as radical right party'
2011-01-19
In the recent Oldham by-election, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) confirmed its status as the fourth largest party in British politics, ahead of the British National Party (BNP). Now, with the local elections looming, experts are warning that UKIP looks set to become a successful radical right party, similar to those seen in countries like Austria, France and Italy, and a 'significant vehicle' for Islamophobia.
"Our research shows that Euroscepticism is not the whole story where UKIP is concerned," say two of its authors — Dr Robert Ford and Dr Matthew Goodwin ...
Many Basque educational centers implement the Content and Language Integrated Learning model
2011-01-19
"We have seen that the results of the way in which we have been teaching the English language to date are not the desired ones". David Lasagabaster (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1967) knows what he is talking about, being a Doctor in English Philology and lecturer at the Department of English and German Languages of the Arts Faculty at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). He has published several works on plurilinguism and plurilingual education, besides having studied experiments abroad. He was also Vice-Rector of International Relations (2005-2009) during the first years ...
'Oncometabolite' linked with widespread alterations in gene expression
2011-01-19
A new study finds that a metabolite commonly elevated in brain cancer and leukemia may promote tumorigenesis by altering the expression of a large number of genes. New research, published by Cell Press in the January 18th issue of the journal Cancer Cell, enhances the understanding of the link between metabolic deregulation and cancer and may help to guide development of new targeted cancer therapies.
More than 75% of low grade gliomas and secondary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and about 20% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), exhibit mutations in genes for isocitrate ...
