Hills Brothers
2005.10.22 4:20
Roppongi Hills in Tokyo -where we can find many young internet tycoons, one of them Hiroshi Mikitani, chairperson of Rakuten, recently bought 15.46% of shares of Tokyo Broadcasting System, one of the major 5 TV networks in Japan. This broadcasting company is a parent company of Mariners -one of the professional baseball teams.
Hills brothers- Hiroshi Mikitani -Rakuten and Takafumi Horie -Livedoor, both live in the same supper condominium -Roppongi Hills, they are not only acquired the Internet but try to acquire the media -especially TV companies. Horie's attempts to gaina control over FUJI-SANKEI TV network were failed. But now another IT tycoon is in a bid to gain the TV. By the way Rakuten already have had a proffessional baseball team, and needless to say SoftBank - affiliate of Yahoo! owns the baseball team here in Yahoo! City.
YUSEN -another IT company expressed their wishes to buy Marines. The president of USEN also lives in Roppongi Hills.
Those who rule the Internet have been successfully gaining the control of the trunk of this country.

You couldn't possbly be talking about WWII era Coffee rationing [si.edu]. (I was originally going to point to the corporate website, but it seems this is one company that does not have one. What's up with THAT?!?!?!?

I sometimes make coffee on my own -I don't have wife to make me coffee, I've got two favorites, one is MJB (founded in 1881) and the other is Hills Bros(1900).
All day long our TV has been airing this news, and that reminds me one of my favorite coffees. Rationings in the US? Unbelievable!
Recent surge by Hills Brothers are about to overcome the established authorities as if it were Original Hills Brothers that put an end to roasting shops and coffee mills.

Back during WWII- it was dangerous to get shipments from Hawaii, due to your people's submarines, and trade with S. America wasn't yet at the present state of affairs. No place else in the United States has the climate for growing coffee, though in the late 1990s it became possible to grow coffee hydroponically. So for the duration of the war, coffee, like so many other items, was rationed.Sometimes I think it would be a good idea to use rationing again today- given the current mess with the middle east, 50% gasoline rationing would be a heck of a good idea, and would encourage the U.S. to become energy independant again.Speaking of which- have there been any good wind power and wave power projects in Japan yet? Here in Oregon, on a recent trip to Condon, I got to visit the Condon Wind Farm- 800 1-megawatt windmills.

I think one wind power plant is located off the coast of Saga prefecture and a wave power plant is located off the coast of Maizuru, Kyoto prefecture. Both are very small and they are not yet really a practical use, I mean still in an experimental stage.
I encountered hundreds of windmills that were generating electricity in the vast field of New Mexico, that landscape was just amazing.

Wave power seems to be an obvious solution for Japan- especially with the new vertical generation 100kw bouys, 500-600 of them could power Tokyo.

Shark Fin Soup
2005.10.20 5:21
Shark fin soup used to be a very expensive cuisine -usually cost at least $50 in a restaurant in Japan. So nobody dares to try tasting it.
In Baguio, the Philipines I got tasted the soup in $5 with my former wife -Philipina, it was already more than ten years ago. After I came back from the Philipines I talked to my friends that we tasted the shark fin soup in $5 in the Philipines, but nodody here didn't seem to believe what I told.
Now many years have passed. We can avail ourselves of the soup in the form of canned food only in $1 per each person.
What actually the price means!

You see I am foreign to many people here so basically I am alienated, it might be just a word play though. So that would be one of main reasons I feel really secured when I found the new names in my fan's list. Fans are most valuable assets in my life, thanks.

Three weeks have already passed since I quit my second job. I think I have already restored my health and have been ready to start another job soon. I intend to find a job by the end of this month.
I will return to a hard worker, but at the same time I want to make use of the time well.
No pain, no gain. I am spending all the time in reading and analysing many issues relating to politics, economics, new technology, especially I knew nothing about information technology but now I'm quickly learning. But most of all what I need is experiencing in a real work. There will be another pain, but there will sure be another gain.

If we won the game last night, we were sure to watch many people went dive to the Naka River, that's similar to River Liffey in Dublin, that goes through the centre of the city, small stream. We usually have about 100 plus stupid guys and girls who dive into the river from Fukuhakudeaibashi Bridge. Imagine just hundreds people jump from Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. Some are with clothing and others are naked. In this late autumn they who dived are subject to being caught a cold. We didn't win. No people dived. This is the happiest thing in this unpleasant result.

In the limited place at the special occasions, naked sliding on the snow or diving into the river would be allowed, here in my town a few among a hundred undressed and dived into the river but we hadn't heard any of them were arrested.
Probably it would be a tradition from the ancient world that people undressed dance and sing when they celebrate something.

Nice to meet you, I'm afraid you don't have to disagree with my comments. People who start the war usually do not believe their war is aggression, they think they are just simply defending their country from outsiders. Both Afgan &Iraqi wars were held far from main land US but many Americans as well as American soldiers are supposed to have thought their wars were for defending their country from terrorists' threat. So I guess all soldiers deployed outside US soil believe that they are defending US with pride & dignity.
As to hero. Hero in traditional sense refers to a man who led his country to victory. Usually 'a man' refers to military commander like Admiral Nelson, General McArthor or political leader like Winston Churchill, President Trumann. Of course there are thousands 'heroes without their names' so you are right, true heroes are tens of citizens who sacrificed their lives for the sake of others.
Almost all wars were held under the name of self-defence, if they were lost all wars turn to be aggression that suffered happiness of millions of people.

I am the perfect person that can tell. Flat-screen is very expensive, and I don't buy the flat-screen next time. There are two corners in any premises, in which large section was shared in flat-screen while other sections were all occupied by many small CRT versions.
I would say it will take more than 5 years for flat to occupy the whole share of CRT.

This society has been led by 3% of elite and 97% of the rest of the non-elite, in the case of DNA also that is corresponding to 3% of those who hold perfect hereditary information and 97% of the rest of those who don't hold hereditary information.
Some call them 'junk' but actually they have been waiting to be replaced in case of gene defects in a position elite DNA has been occupied. When they are replaced, we call it a moment of evolution--

Riddles of Human Life Span (Score:0)

We only knew humans who lived near one millennium in Genesis, and after four hundred years from the last description of Genesis, human life came to be such as that of current humans.
Something terrible related to making human life span short in these four hundred years occurred.
Another perspective. The expansion of human life span doesn't help population problem. Or make worse. We have to solve this population problem - how to nourish this large population first.--

Few years ago new type pneumonia SARS -sever acute respiratery syndrom was found among Chinese in China sporadically and later cases of bird flu started to be reported among south east Asia. At that time we hadn't decided whether two incidents were related each other.
Since then here in Japan, cases of bird flu were reported occasionally in different parts of Japan, all infected chickens were terminated and still we haven't found the patients of new type pneumonia. We are still arguing whether bird flu is transmissable to humans.
This news was new to me. If it were true, bird flu is in general transmissable to humans. That could kill this large population. In Asia public hygiene remains to be higher priority.--

We might as well say that the existence of gravity itself is a riddle. Under the influence of different gravity, time line varies each other. -In the moon and the Earth, the timeline varies 'relatively' each other, that's what theory of general relativism tells us.
These assessments were made in 3 dimensions -where we see and certified under the theorem of general relativism, so this theory seems valid to explaining 'why gravity is so weak?'
But if we all were put under the influence of 4 dimensions -existing 3 plus time, are we able to assess the same conclusion as we did in 3 dimensions? The answer is probably 'no'. Since our wisdom is limited in the 3 dimensions, in 4 dimensions there would be probably other theorems valid and applied to the ones who are in 4 dimensions.
It is already taken for granted that the gravity indicates the difference in different dimensions since Einstein. But it is just the result of theoretical consistency from the perspectives of 3 dimensions. The rest of the assessment from more than 3 dimensions belongs to still unknown realm.--

The weakness of gravity would be explicable from extra-dimension hypothesis, but unfortunately this hypothesis cannot explain why gravity is so weak.
This human assessment was made in this dimension, if it were made in extra-dimension, the result would be definetely different from what we did in our dimension.--

A Tale of Three Kings (Politics)By mercedo Sun Oct 23rd, 2005 at 02:05:51 PM EST
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
Back in 589BC, Kingdom Juda was a tribute of Babylon, King Zedekiah came to be king, he was set as a figurehead of Kingdom Juda and thought to act according to the will of King Nebchadnezzar, all other kings were thought to be against the will of Nebchadnezzar and kicked out by King Nebchadnezzar.
Kingdom Juda under Babylonian rule enjoyed some prosperity in certain degree though it was a tribute of Babylon. Canaan(what is now Palestina) were thought to be important land geographically - knots of three continent, Nebchadnezzar had to help Kingdom Juda in order to defend his territory from the strong power in the east -Egypt.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. King Zedekiah was fulfiled, fulfiled enough to think about the possibility of seeking for independence from the rule of Babylon, then he allied with Egypy and made a rebellion against the rule of Babylon. Historically speaking, in the age of Moses, once he tried to seek for a financial help from Egypt, and King Solomon took his wife from a daughter of King of Egypt. According to Bible, Jewish people used to live in Canaan before they went to Egypt and after they spent several hundred years in Egypt, after the Exodus led by Moses Jewish people started settling down again in Canaan.
King Nebchadnezzar got furious. He gathered all his troops possible and attacked Jerusalem. Jerusalem fell. King Zedekiah captured. King Nebchadnezzar captured not only him but also lots of Zedekiah's country men, craftmen, educated people then took all of them to Babylonia, that is so called Babylonian Captivity. Jewish people had to spend many years till king cyrus conquered Babylonia and allowed Jewish people to return to their homeland.
King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.

The common spelling and pronounciation for the king's name is Nebuchadnezzar.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. What? How about some spelling here. Maybe using English? This would work much better as "Then King Nebchadnezzar helped the Kingdom of Juda greatly, both financially and militarily."
You should capitalize "king cyrus" in paragraph 5.

don't but a - hyphen in front of it.

Don't repeat intro in text. It's the style here.
Also it's riddled with grammar and spelling errors too numerous to enumerate. In the very first sentence "The name of the three kings are..." should be "The names of the three kings are..." and it only goes downhill from there.
It is also not real clear, after trying to penetrate the grammar, whether this story has a point. So it may not be worth the effort of editing.I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds -- J. Robert Oppenheimer[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.

The common spelling and pronounciation for the king's name is Nebuchadnezzar.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. What? How about some spelling here. Maybe using English? This would work much better as "Then King Nebchadnezzar helped the Kingdom of Juda greatly, both financially and militarily."
You should capitalize "king cyrus" in paragraph 5.

Don't repeat intro in text. It's the style here.
Also it's riddled with grammar and spelling errors too numerous to enumerate. In the very first sentence "The name of the three kings are..." should be "The names of the three kings are..." and it only goes downhill from there.
It is also not real clear, after trying to penetrate the grammar, whether this story has a point. So it may not be worth the effort of editing.I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds -- J. Robert Oppenheimer[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

A Tale of Three Kings (Politics)By mercedo Sun Oct 23rd, 2005 at 02:05:51 PM EST
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
Back in 589BC, Kingdom Juda was a tribute of Babylon, King Zedekiah came to be king, he was set as a figurehead of Kingdom Juda and thought to act according to the will of King Nebchadnezzar, all other kings were thought to be against the will of Nebchadnezzar and kicked out by King Nebchadnezzar.
Kingdom Juda under Babylonian rule enjoyed some prosperity in certain degree though it was a tribute of Babylon. Canaan(what is now Palestina) were thought to be important land geographically - knots of three continent, Nebchadnezzar had to help Kingdom Juda in order to defend his territory from the strong power in the east -Egypt.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. King Zedekiah was fulfiled, fulfiled enough to think about the possibility of seeking for independence from the rule of Babylon, then he allied with Egypy and made a rebellion against the rule of Babylon. Historically speaking, in the age of Moses, once he tried to seek for a financial help from Egypt, and King Solomon took his wife from a daughter of King of Egypt. According to Bible, Jewish people used to live in Canaan before they went to Egypt and after they spent several hundred years in Egypt, after the Exodus led by Moses Jewish people started settling down again in Canaan.
King Nebchadnezzar got furious. He gathered all his troops possible and attacked Jerusalem. Jerusalem fell. King Zedekiah captured. King Nebchadnezzar captured not only him but also lots of Zedekiah's country men, craftmen, educated people then took all of them to Babylonia, that is so called Babylonian Captivity. Jewish people had to spend many years till king cyrus conquered Babylonia and allowed Jewish people to return to their homeland.
King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.

When Katrina hit the Gulf area in America, we were joking, because the number of hurricane hit in the area was few, you could count them as human's names. But 21 is still very many, it would be clumsy to call each as Nancy, Tom, Jane, Mike, and so on. Alpha is better since all we have to do is just define the hurricane.
In the case of my country, we call them -typhoons by number. We usually have 30 typhoons in a year.--

Each war has different meanings. War against Axis in WWII - Over the world hegemony. Korean War - Over the hegemony in the region against the communist powers. Vietnam War - For face-saving measures only. Iraqi War-To keep the enough oil supply.

Colin Powell's Chief of Staff: Liberals Right About Everything
Apparently this statement is oversimplifing the reality in Iraq. In the case of post war occupation in Japan it took more than five years for them to let go of us with independence. Japan was unconditionally surrendered and this country was isolated from the rest of the world by sea. In the case of Iraq, things are not only limited in Iraq itself but as well as the rest of the surrounding countries. I bet it will take more than five years.

This attempt has been widely held among not only botanists but zoologists. By and large to keep the diversity of spieces is against the law of natural selection. If given environment were simplified, the existing spieces tend to get more simplified. If given environment were diversified, they are likely to get more diversified.

These types of simplified dichotomy often leads to a misconception resulting from the differences in our racial background, in which I feel dubious there are. I admit there are general temperaments among different peoples, but that general temperament does not tell the difference among people well. I've got lots of friends whose like-minded over the differences of our national background.

These types of simplified dichotomy often leads to a misconception resulting from the differences in our racial background, in which I feel dubious there are. I admit there are general temperaments among different peoples, but that general temperament does not tell the difference among people well. I've got lots of friends whose like-minded over the differences of our national background.
Difference between peoples -it's neither interesting nor useful.--

Several thousands years ago the Ten Commendments were written down on the stone, in Mesopotamia cuneiform was invented to write down the letter on the clay, in Indas civilisation many clays were found with still unknown letters, Rosetta stone was a clue for us to use stones to write down the letters.
Later papyrus was found to make paper, but we had to wait another 1500 years till Gutenberg invented the printing technic. Then the book in current form had been gradually established, till then goat skin had been used and the roles were general, the technic of binding, printing were only developed later.
We must say the history of books is not so long as we might resume.
We used to write a letter in paper with a pen. Now we rarely do so. Library used to refer to only building that contains lots of books, now that also means collection of contents in computer.--

Truth About Japanese
2005.10.18 5:57
We have two baseball leagues, one is Central League and the other is Pacific League. SoftBank Hawks belongs to this Pacific League and the first winner of the 145 games long pennant race with 4.5 games margin. But the team had to win the play-off.
SoftBank Hawks lost to Lotte Marines with the total score 3 to 4 in 7 games.
SoftBank is an affiliate company of Yahoo! in Japan led by Masayoshi Son, whose ancester was originally from China more than 10 generations ago and from Korea more than 5 generation ago, he was born here in Yahoo! City, but educated in the US. The manager of SoftBank Hawks is Sadaharu Oh, who is wellknown as a homerun world recordholder with the total 846 homeruns is half Taiwanese.
On the other hands, Lotte was founded by wellknown Korean Japanese, and his company is not only big here but in Korea too.
Many Japanese believe they are Japanese, but they are just the result of intermixture from surrounding neighbouring areas, and countries.
Last game was held in Yahoo! Dome whose capacity is 48,000. There were many Hawks fans as well as Lotte fans, after the battle they went together to have some beer in downtown.

I'd venture to say (but there are no pureblood Ainu left) that the Ainu are the only true Japanese. The rest are obviously a mixture of aisan races who landed in the Islands over the centuries.I still have yet to hear a believeable theory of where the Ainu came from; but the mongolian desert mummies, most of whom were caucasians and date back at least 10,000 years, provide a tantalizing clue of eastward expansion from the caucasian mountains.

I think it's high time to forget about our ancestry background. Probably Ainu are thought to be one of the earliest tribes who migrated from Caucasus to eastward soon after the end of glacier period and left untouched out of the wave of intermarriages from other races.
On the other hands American native peoples are thought to be from Asian continent at the time still two continents were connected in northern lands, migrated through on foot and spread all over the two American continents long before Europeans came to the continents.
But I must say all these facts or speculations were gone or have no significant meaning in our daily life.
We all live in the age of Internet, now all we are in Tower of Babel, we don't have to worry about our difficulty in communication any more.
By the way your thousands comments in Draft is amazing. You must have learned a lot about economics. I took my hat off.

It was only hundreds of comments- and I focused in on the obvioius hole. The libertarian/Austrian argument against interventionism sounds fine- until you examine what society woud be like without such interventions by the government into business.

These points are controversial. I keep silence for a while.
As to Tower of Babel, this is not a symbol of human arrogance. People started migrating with convincing that they are still able to communicate each other. But once they started moving they found difficulty in communication. That was the result of their arrogance. They had to wait another several thousands years to be able to communicate each other again.
Internet is the Tower of Babel in our times. Whether God will punish us again is not sure though.

Orchard
2005.10.17 1:25
Since I quit my second job, I have been restoring my health rapidly. I asked my superviser that I can take holidays either Saturday or Sunday. Still large proportion of working population takes their holiday at weekends. My ex-wife has been also working five days a week and takes holidays at weekends, since I quit my second job, I haven't had to work on Saturday night, and this Sunday turned to be a holiday unexpectedly. We arranged our date on Saturday night and we went to orchard park near to our place on Sunday today.
Behind our place lies a park area, where a number of parks are located, since our city is surrounded by the sea in north and the mountains in south it is convenient to go to see the sea and the mountains. By the way I live near the mountains while she lives near the sea, from the sea to the mountains we have only ten kilometres away, so though we live separately we both live in the almost same area.
There were many fruits there, we saw apples, chestnuts, oranges. It took a little time to bear fruits for a love between middle-aged divorced couples. Today we reconfirmed our love being able to rejuvenile again.
It was a beautiful day.
