TOKYO nike air max 2017 flyknit rabais , May 21 (Xinhua) -- Japan's Nikkei stock lost 0.24 percent as the yen's rise impacted exporters and Wall Street's losses overnight did little to inspire the market ahead of the conclusion of the central bank's policy meeting.

With the news sending the yen to 101.18 per U.S. dollar in currency trading air max 2017 rabais , more investors hit the sidelines to see if the BOJ's chiefs press conference after the markets close would shed any more light on its future policy objectives.

NAIROBI, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- A Kenyan woman rescued from Somali pirates days ago after about three years of captivity reunited with her family in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Tuesday evening.
Louis Njoki was flown from Mogadishu, capital of Somalia, to her home in Nairobi.
Speaking to Xinhua at the Wilson Airport, her family member John Gitau commended the Somali government for its action that led to Njoki's rescue.
"We are delighted that she is finally at home. We have endured severe mental torture since her abduction," said Gitau.
He said Njoki will undergo further medical tests to ascertain any threat to her health.
Njoki was captured along with her partner James Kuria by Somali pirates in 2014 while delivering medicine in Mogadishu.
Kuria was freed during a raid by Somali security forces in February last year.

Egypt has been suffering tourism recession over the past few years due to political turmoil and relevant security issues, yet the Chinese visitors expressed their feeling of safety in the country amid adequate security presence and deployment all around.
"We really feel safe here, although as a girl I am still a little reluctant to walk alone in the street," Ren remarked, expressing her impression about Egypt as "a country with huge potentials and fruitful tourism resources that just needs more development."
The number of Chinese visitors to Egypt increased from 65,000 to 135,000 in 2015, and the tourism ministry has been targeting to.
