1 If it doesn't work on him/her, you'll just have to deal with your grade and go with the flow. 2  If your grade is already good (i.e. an A instead of an A+), a teacher may be reluctant to raise it. 3  Think about whether or not you actually need your grade raised.
After years, if not decades, of warnings about Japan's aging population and its low birth rate, the day is here. Japan's official census shows that the country's population has shrunk. And not by an inconsiderable amount either: The 2010 census showed a population of 128,057,352, but the 2015 figure, released Friday, shows just 127,110,000. Japan's population had shrunk by almost 1 million people in five years.
Growth rates were projected to level off, or to decline slightly, through the remainder of the twentieth century; Spain was expected to reach a population of 40 million by 1990 and 42 million by the year 2000. Observers estimated that the country's population would stabilize in the year 2020 at about 46 million.
