どうぶつしょうぎ

どうぶつしょうぎは、二人で行うボードゲーム（盤上遊戯）の一種である。
3×4マスの盤面と、動きを簡略化した将棋類の駒を用いる。主に女流棋士の北尾まどかがルールを考案し、同じく女流棋士の藤田麻衣子がデザインした。2008年、その2人が所属していた日本女子プロ将棋協会 (LPSA) が発表したことで人気となり、若い世代に普及した。女流棋士の岩崎夏子（2011年生まれ）は、将棋を知ったきっかけとして幼少期にどうぶつしょうぎに触れたことを挙げている。
使用する駒は、「ライオン」「ぞう」「きりん」「ひよこ」の4種類である。将棋と同様に、プレーヤーは交互に盤上の自分の駒の一つを移動させるか、または自分の持ち駒を盤上の空いているマスに置くかを選択する。
駒を進めたいマスに相手の駒がいる場合、その駒を取って自分の持ち駒とする。持ち駒は、自分の手番で自由に使うことができる。但し「にわとり」を取った場合、将棋で成駒を取った場合と同様に打つときは「ひよこ」の状態で打たなければならない。
相手のライオンを取る「キャッチ」か、または、自分のライオンを相手陣の1段目に移動させる「トライ」（移動した次の手でライオンが取られる場合は除く）（将棋の入玉に相当）で勝利となる。千日手（手番が全く同じ状態が3回現れる）は引き分け。
将棋とは異なり、「二ひよこ」（将棋の二歩に相当）や「打ちひよこ詰め」（将棋の打ち歩詰めに相当）、敵陣1段目のひよこ打ち（将棋の行き所のない駒に相当）、ライオン手放置（将棋の王手放置に相当）は反則ではない。連続ライオン手の千日手（将棋の連続王手の千日手に相当）も反則ではなく引き分けとなる。
LPSAが作成頒布している駒にはそれぞれ駒に赤い丸印（にわとりは青い丸印）がついており、その方向に1マスずつ進むことができる。
下図の強調書体で表されている駒が先手の駒である。先手駒と後手駒は向かい合うかたちで配置される。
東京大学情報基盤センター准教授の田中哲朗は、コンピュータを用いた「起こりうる全局面（2億4680万3167局面）」の解析により（計算時間はパソコンで5時間半）、両者が最善を尽くした場合（二人零和有限確定完全情報ゲームも参照）、78手で後手の勝利となる、すなわち、後手にミスがない限り後手必勝となるという結果を2009年6月に発表した。この解析結果を元にした、後手番必勝を体験できる、すなわち78手目で詰まされるまで何度でも待ったをして先手番の負けを体験できる「どうぶつしょうぎ名人」が公表されている。また、田中の報告によれば、実質的には1手パスとなる「敵陣1段目のひよこ打ち」が勝利のために有効な局面が68局面存在したことや、このゲームで合法手が存在しない（チェスのステイルメイトに相当する）状態は、駒の動きと配置の関係上起こり得ないことが判明した。
2008年1月頃、LPSA所属女流棋士である藤田麻衣子が、初心者用将棋盤駒として動物をモチーフにした本将棋の盤駒をデザインした。歩＝ひよこ、と金＝にわとり、王＝ライオン、角＝ぞう、飛車＝きりんはこのときにデザインされ、動く方向に印がつけられた。全く同時期に当時LPSA所属女流棋士だった北尾まどかが初心者用に3×4の盤面をはじめ、いくつかの簡易将棋を考案した。デザイン・ルールはその後に変わったものがある。
同年6月頃、LPSA主催の「小学生女流将棋名人戦」にて藤田デザインの動物駒を用いてリレー将棋を行った。同年8月10日、ボードゲーム7種の会にて北尾考案のルールと、藤田デザインを合体させた「3×4shogi」として発表された。日本将棋連盟所属の棋士である森内俊之も対局した。また、この時には北尾考案、藤田デザインの「5×5将棋」も試験販売した。しかしこれはのちに北尾自身によって必勝法が解明されたため、お蔵入りとなった。 11月、おもちゃフォーラムにて「どうぶつしょうぎ」を試験販売。販売に用意した分はすべて午前中に売り切れた。同年12月、LPSAオンラインショップにて販売開始。
2009年6月15日、北尾がLPSAを退会しフリーの女流棋士となったが、どうぶつしょうぎは北尾・藤田・LPSAの三者が協力して事業を継続することとなった。同年9月、幻冬舎エデュケーションが、どうぶつしょうぎを一般向けに発売。日本ボードゲーム大賞では日本産ボードゲーム最高の5位に入り、ゆうもあ賞を受賞した。
2010年3月31日に藤田もLPSAを退会し、同時に女流棋士の身分を放棄した。4月1日、小学館の『小学一年生』5月号に、紙製の将棋板と同じく紙製の組立式駒とはじめてブック（ルール解説書）が付録として付いた。9月1日にLPSAが販売中止を発表し、その後は、北尾・藤田にて普及を続けている。
2010年、株式会社ライブログよりiTunes App Store及びGoogle Playにて「どうぶつしょうぎ（通常版）」と「どうぶつしょうぎDX」が配信開始となったが、2011年4月でLPSAの製品版とは異なるデザインに変更となった。
2012年2月、株式会社ねこまど（代表取締役：北尾まどか）、株式会社ギンビスより「たべっ子どうぶつどうぶつしょうぎパッケージ」として数量限定で発売された。箱の裏面に将棋盤、側面に駒が印刷されており、切り取って遊べるデザインとなっていた。
2012年春には、iTunes App Storeにて「どうぶつしょうぎ（公式）」が配信開始された（350円）、LPSAの製品版と同様のデザインのアプリケーションが復活した。また、2013年にはオンライン対戦専用アプリの「どうぶつしょうぎウォーズ」も配信開始された。
2013年3月、株式会社ねこまど（代表取締役：北尾まどか）、丸川製菓より「どうぶつしょうぎフーセンガム」が発売された。
上記の3×4マスのどうぶつしょうぎ以外にも、同じ意匠の駒を用いた将棋がある。
下図の強調書体で表されている駒が先手の駒である。先手駒と後手駒は向かい合うかたちで配置される。
ルールは本将棋と全く同じ。
Momoko Doll

Momoko Doll (モモコドール) is a 1/6 scale (27 cm, 10.6 inch) Japanese fashion doll, roughly similar in size to Robert Tonner's Tiny Kitty Collier.
Momoko was created in 2001 as a side project by a Japanese software company called PetWORKs. (The creator was Namie Manabe (真鍋 奈見江), the art director.)
In 2004, PetWORKs handed the line over to doll-making firm Sekiguchi. Sekiguchi altered the doll somewhat and turned it into a mass-market item competitively priced with other fashion dolls, but retained the general concept of an "everyday" modern woman one might find walking down the street in Japan.
PetWORKs continues to produce a limited number of Momokos every year in their Close-Clipped Sheep (CCS) line, using the Sekiguchi body but a slightly different face paint style, and sometimes a slightly different head.
The Momoko doll, like most Asian fashion dolls, has visible joints and good flexibility, able to tilt and rotate her head, bend and rotate the elbows, bend the knees, slightly flex and bend near the waist, flex the wrists and ankles, and so on. The Momoko doll is able to stand on her own without help, though a white metal stand is included.
Momoko outfits display a characteristic normality and simple elegance in a range of styles, such as a variety of modern casual looks, typically Japanese school girl uniforms, Japanese office lady style, Western bridal gowns, Japanese summer yukata, and a variety of other looks. In addition to the main line of doll releases, Sekiguchi also releases numerous special edition dolls with apparently even more limited availability. These include such things as Isetan special Momokos, or collaboration pieces such as Gainax Momoko dolls.
Momoko has the same Asian target market as the highly popular Blythe and Pullip dolls, and is able to wear most Asian and some American fashion doll outfits, including a number of 1/6 scale Pullip, Jenny, Azone, Obitsu, Annz, Barbie My Scene, and other such products. Although Momoko's audience is largely female, a few Momokos (such as one of the schoolgirl dolls) have had male purchasers.
As with other Asian doll fans, Momoko fans are known for proudly posting photographs of the doll posed in different clothing styles, in different situations, and in different countries.
Mame Momokos (豆momoko: literally, "bean" or "mini" Momokos) are cheaper and cartoony 9 cm (3.5 inch) dolls meant to allow Momoko creators the chance to inexpensively explore wild new outfits. Unlike their taller cousins, Mame Momoko dolls come in male and female, though there are no anatomical differences to speak of.
In October 2013, PetWORKs debuted Ruruko as Momoko's little sister, a brand new line of dolls that introduced kids fashion for a smaller 20 cm (8 inch) body. Much like PetWORKs' current CCS line of Momoko dolls, each new release of Ruruko is made in very limited quantity and direct from the dollmakers themselves. Instead of a Sekiguchi body, Ruruko uses the smallest 1/6 scale doll body from Azone (ja:アゾンインターナショナル), known as the Pure Neemo XS. This body makes Ruruko roughly similar in size to Japan's most popular dress-up doll, Takara's Licca-chan.

Tenis en Ecuador

La organización del tenis en Ecuador está a cargo de la Federación Ecuatoriana de Tenis, fundada en 1967.​ Predominan las canchas con superficie de arcilla de polvo de ladrillo y su principal torneo era el Abierto de Ecuador de la categoría ATP 250, realizado en la ciudad de Quito.
El tenista de élite mundial en la era aficionada fue Francisco Segura (#1), mientras que en la era profesional lo han sido Andrés Gómez (#4) y Nicolás Lapentti (#6).​ En dobles han destacado Francisco Segura y Andrés Gómez (#1).​ El equipo ecuatoriano masculino adulto ha llegado a los cuartos de final de la Copa Davis en 1967 y 1985, mientras que el juvenil fue tercero en la Copa Mundial Sub-16 en 2005.​​
Como antecedente, sus indígenas han jugado a la chaza desde el siglo XV, de características similares y declarado como el «deporte nacional de Ecuador».
El tenis, en Ecuador, como todos los deportes, nació con la fundación del Club Sport Guayaquil el 23 de abril de 1899. Sus fundadores fueron los que mostraron al país los deportes que ellos habían practicado en Europa, donde habían sido enviados por sus familiares a estudiar a las universidades de Inglaterra y Francia. A su retorno decidieron crear el club destinado a la práctica del tenis. En agosto de ese mismo año llegó al País el primer pedido de implementos de tenis.​
El tenis se impuso entre las clases altas de Guayaquil, Quito y Cuenca. Es así, como en Guayaquil y en Quito principalmente, se construyeron clubes que acogían este deporte, precisamente en Guayaquil, en 1910 se funda el Guayaquil Tenis Club, y en Quito, en 1930 se instala el Quito Tenis y Golf Club.
Tenistas destacados antes de la instauración de la Clasificación de la ATP en 1973 fueron Miguel Olvera, Francisco Guzmán, Eduardo Zuleta y María Guzmán, entre otros. En 1986 Andrés Gómez finalizó la temporada como el «mejor doblista del mundo» y con el chileno Hans Gildemeister, como la «mejor dupla del mundo». Ganó el Torneo de Roland Garros individual en 1990, donde el público usa tradicionalmente el sombrero de paja toquilla, de origen ecuatoriano.​
Tenistas ecuatorianos que han estado entre los 200 primeros lugares de la Clasificación ATP.

Nicolás Lapentti Carrión

Nicolás Eduardo Lapentti Carrión (Ambato, 20 de marzo de 1944)​ es un político y economista ecuatoriano. Fue legislador nacional en dos ocasiones y prefecto de la provincia del Guayas durante 4 periodos consecutivos (de 1992 a 2009).​​ Es el padre de los extenistas Nicolás Lapentti y Giovanni Lapentti.​
En el 2007 se posicionó en contra de la provincialización de la actual provincia de Santa Elena, que en esa época pertenecía a la provincia del Guayas. No obstante, el proceso de provincialización fue completado meses más tarde.​
Para las elecciones legislativas de 2009 encabezó la lista nacional de asambleístas por el Partido Social Cristiano (PSC),​​ luego de negarse a buscar la reelección como prefecto del Guayas.​ El PSC obtuvo el 13.6% de los votos en las elecciones, de este modo asegurando la curul de Lapentti.​
Luego de dejar el cargo de prefecto recibió críticas por parte de su sucesor, Jimmy Jairala, por supuestas irregularidades que habrían existido en la administración de los fondos de la prefectura. Nicolás Lapentti respondió a los cuestionamientos pidiendo una reunión con Jairala ante las cámaras para hablar sobre el tema,​ aunque la reunión nunca se realizó. En 2010 el fiscal general del Guayas, Antonio Gagliardo Loor, pidió que se levantara su inmunidad parlamentaria para poder enjuiciarlo por peculado.​
Durante su periodo legislativo recibió críticas por parte de miembros de su mismo partido por votar a favor de varios proyectos de ley presentados por el gobierno del presidente Rafael Correa. El director nacional del partido, Pascual del Cioppo, manifestó que la actuación de Lapentti en estos temas era "condenable" y que lamentaba que la directiva del partido no se hubiera pronunciado al respecto.​
En el año 2012, un informe de la Secretaría de la Asamblea Nacional señaló que Lapentti era uno de los tres Asambleístas que menos asistían a las sesiones del pleno.​ En total asistió a 115 sesiones, presentó 116 excusas y tuvo 30 inasistencias injustificadas.​
Durante las elecciones legislativas de 2013 buscó infructuasamente ser reelegido como asambleísta.​​

Gómez turned professional in 1979. Early success in his career came mainly in doubles competition. He won five doubles titles in 1980 and seven in 1981.
In 1986, Gómez attained the world No. 1 doubles ranking. He won seven doubles events that year, including the US Open men's doubles title (partnering Slobodan Živojinović). Gómez won a second Grand Slam men's doubles title in 1988 at the French Open (partnering Emilio Sánchez).

Traje de flamenca

The traje de flamenca ("flamenco outfit") or traje de gitana ("Gitana outfit") is the dress traditionally worn by women at Ferias (festivals) in Andalusia, Spain. There are two forms: one worn by dancers and the other worn as a day dress.
The day dress is body-hugging to mid-thigh, and then continues in multiple layers of ruffles to the ankle. Modern interpretations of the style are difficult to walk in, let alone dance. The dancers' version therefore flares out from higher on the hip to allow freedom of movement.
Both versions are trimmed with layers of ruffles on both the skirt and sleeves. The dress is typically brightly colored, usually in black, red or and may be either plain or patterned, with the most famous being the polka dotted traje de lunares.
Traditionally, the outfit is completed with a shawl (mantón de Manila) worn over the shoulders. The traditional dancer will also wear her hair in a bun adorned with flowers, and perhaps a decorative hair comb.
The outfit was attributed to the Gitanos (Roma people of Spain), but is now generally thought of as typically Andalusia. The outfit originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when women vendors dressed in modest calico gowns trimmed with ruffles came to the fairs along with livestock traders. In time, women of the propertied classes copied these outfits. Ever since the Seville Exposition of 1929, the traje de flamenca has had a status as the official outfit of the event.
The traje de flamenca has undergone changes over the century or more that it has been in widespread use. For example, in the 1960s and '70s, the skirts became shorter, with skirts reaching only to the middle of the calf or even to the knee (the so-called Marisol style). Beginning in the 1970s, the frogs are dropped back to the ankle so that they are not distracting on the legs.
Madonna wore a flamenco dress in the video for her 1987 signature song La Isla Bonita. This was her first song to have a Latino influence and was a tribute to the beauty of the Latin people according to Madonna. Following its release, the video achieved worldwide popularity, and the flamenco red dress she wore became a trend later.
In the early 21st century there are a wide variety of designs of traje de flamenca for women and girls. They come in a variety of colors, plain or patterned, with short or long sleeves, and more or fewer ruffles. This folkloric outfit has inspired numerous Spanish and international fashion designers, among them Victorio & Lucchino, who have their own line of trajes de flamenca. Others who have been influenced include Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Valentino Garavani, and Tom Ford.
New designs in trajes de flamenca ae shown annually at the Salón Internacional de la Moda Flamenca (SIMOF), which celebrated its 15th year in 2009. The event takes place at the start of the year in Seville. In 2009, 32 designers showed 1,200 different outfits; there were also fashion accessories from 90 firms.
