You see, he's joking. If so Io-Wa, even Wa-shington has to follow the case. Okinawa was located far beyond the route former Koreans took on the way to Japan.
Okinawans came from the South, similar to the people in Micronesia. Their origin was similar to the early setllers in Japan proper prior to the former Korean's arrival. Later in 1372, Okinawa became a tribute of China. In 1609 it became a tribute of Japan.
It was only after 1879 that Okinawa lost its independence after being annexed by Japanese.

History of Brittany started circa 5 AD after Saxons deplaced inhabitants in Great Britain to Brittany. I misunderstood the flag was as early as the history of Brittany. The flag was invented after the Stars and Stripes. That explains the strikinig similarities.

Brittany is a peninsula and one region in France. People who inhabitted here must be the first setller in the Great Britain. They must have named after their homeland when they found much larger island. When Briton moved to America and made independent 13 states, they chose their national flag after the flag of Brittany.

In 1939 Chinese military personels trained by German advisors were equipped by Czecho made submachinegun ZB26 imported by Germany. I thought it was some mistake in broadcasting. I tried looking it up. Tripartite pact was signed in September, 1940. The Battle of Shagnai was in July 1937. The siege of Nanjin was in December, 1937. So German aid was held before the pact. But their aid continued as long as they was able to camouflage, in German Tarnung even after the pact was in effect.

Once upon a time in Korean peninsula, many peoples were fighting. One people were extradicted to small islands off the coast. They were called Wa, which means small, because their islands were much smaller than the land in peninsula. They were outnumbered so they started moving to other islands. They found relatively bigger islands. Though they still kept on being called Wa.
Wa is the old name for Japan. This story is not a fiction.

The Fate of Two Strangers
2007.02.14 2:07
Japanese woman Yoshiko Yamaguchi was born in Fushun, China's region Manchuria to Japanese parents in 1920. Later she became famous as Chinese singer known to Li Xianglan. After the war ended, she was caught and interrogated whether she committed the crime of treason, Hanjian, which means Chinese traitor, she was acquitted because she was identified as Japanese.
Aisin Gioro, a woman born in 1907, one of the daughters from the last royal family of Qing dynasty was sent to Japan in her youth, after raised and educated in Japan she was sent back to Shanghai, China and known as Yoshiko Kawashima. This is a Japanese name. She was executed by Kuomintang government in treason or Hanjian in 1948. If she were certified as Japanese, she would be acquitted. She was refused to be identifed as Japanese by Japanese government. She was Manchurian Chinese in linege.
The fate of two stranges was completely opposite. Kawashima vanished in the valley of history. Yamaguchi later became the member of the Upper House and still alive. She's now 86 years old. We are now watching the film of her entire life.

Second invasion took place in 1281. Their force was 142,000 soldiers and 4,400 ships. This time 80% of all their ships were sunk before landing because of the storm.
They fastened all their vessels, small and big, when they had typhoon in the bay. This was completely opposite to what Japanese did in their ships.
The victory of Japan was basically brought by the lack of knowledge at sea in the people of continent. They were well versed in how to win war in land. They were army, not navy.

First Invasion From China
China and Japan fought many wars. But China never invaded Japan. Why? China located in the most affluent area, so they didn't have to get out of the land they live. Instead many surrounding peoples often invaded China. Both Mongolian and Manchurian once conquered Han people and established some dynasty in China's long history.
One time there was a time Mongolian Empire had invaded Japan in 1274-1281. Han people came along with their ruler at that time -Mongolians, but they were reluctant to come here. The number of soldiers they sent to Japan was 53000. Aside from this, Japanese always kept on invading China. The first war between two countries occurred in 663. Japan sent 32000 personels. Baegang -one of the three countries in Korea, and Japan, those two countries had formed a kind of united kingdom at that time. Japan lost the War of Baegang. The navy of Tong dynasty was much stronger and bigger than that of Japan.
In 1592 to 1598, Japan again tried to invade China by sending roughly 150000 soldiers in Korea twice. Korean fought the war in alliance with Chinese Ming dynasty. Japan lost.
The last war between China and Japan took place in 1937 to 1945. The first landing place was Shanghai, later they invaded up to Nanjing. The atrocity Japanese army made was only comparable to Soviet-German War from 1941 to 1945.
Recently the sky of my town is foggy. Local meteorologists claim the air from rapidly industrialised area around Shanghai is coming here. This is the first invasion by China from the air. The country whose economy is significantly declining can do nothing for it but to look on this.

Price Of Beauty
Price Of Beauty
2007.02.10 0:03
There is a Japanese famous television programme that has been aired once in a year in which women are introduced before and after they made a cosmetic surgery. I noticed that so so pretty women never become prettier than before. Those who had particulary bad point in their face can be cured completely well.
In today's medical technic, almost all women can be much prettier than before. It takes probably 30-50 thousand dollars. The nutrition of Japanese had been apparently bad mainly because their religion -Buddhism prohibited kiling animals to eat. So fatty eyelid, short nose, big nostils are so common, besides their arangement of teeth, the line of jaw are also bad for some reasons. I think all are related to bad nutrition for a long time.
Now they can obtain a very pretty face if only they spent thirty thousand dollars. But their obtained beauty is not hereditary. Their offsprings will face similar problems. After all their beauty has something to do with their economy. Japanese hadn't had meat for more than millennium. Now they are rushing to pay their debt at once.

First in first out is the term used in selling products. We all tend to choose the newest one when we buy something, because the newer the products, the longer we can use. We ought not to supply new products until all older ones are sold out. Consumers tend to choose newer ones, so if they found the newer ones besides older ones, we can't stop their buying newer ones. We are taught to store newer ones behind the older ones in a shell. That's nothing but a deception to consumers.
First in first out is the term used in labour force. Those who were engaged in a job earlier ought not to be fired prior to firing new ones. Labourers are not products to sell. Exactly. But in order for a company to be viable, sometimes first in had better get out first.

I found in my dictionary that Greek word 'kokkos' means 'berry'. The substance that found in these berries must be similar.

The coke they made contained caffeine twice as much as American Cokes. They started selling it in such catchphrase. If we took caffeine in moderate quantity, it must have worked well. I believe caffeine neither stimulate nor relieve our nerves excessively. Caffeine just coordinates our body balance well.
I drink a cup of coffee not only after waking up, sometimes before going to sleep. I sleep well.

Judging from the reference you showed, German troops might have been unable to realise that they were surrounded by the rest of the world including the US after they surrounded the US troops on the spot ie Bastogne. Therefore the word 'deez nuts' made sense -we are bigger &stronger than you.

One domestic company made a coke many years ago. I tried drinking one. I was unable to sleep after drinking it, and after I sleep I had a nightmare. Apparently the quantity of caffein was too strong. No more please.
One domestic company made cocoa recently. I tried having one. I was unable to sleep for a while because that caused rapid palpitation. The quantity of cacao that contains polyphenol must have been too much. Soon I quit having it.
It must take years for producers to come up with some product to finally commercialise, but because they saved such a process, they are making use of a dynamism formed by consumers whether the products get populality. So far few products succeeded. It requires bigger market to conduct such surveys. It is needless to say mulitinational corporations have got more superiority in reflecting consumer's inclinations. What lacks greatly in domestic company is the effective commercialisation reflecting feedback.

I remember the scene in a movie that I watched in my youth- before crossing fire Germans sent a herald to an American counterpart demanding a surrender without fighting. The reply was 'Nuts'. Many years ago the language skill of translator was not enough to meet. The superimposed terop had translated very literally something similar to walnuts or pecans. I felt perplexed, as Germans did.
Many year later I found the word nuts means crazy, stupid etc. I thought that's it.
Now I understand the word nuts that was used in Bastogne meant much stronger than crazy, let alone mixed nuts. One word gains more meaning as time goes inside myself.

At World War II in European West theatre once German troops surrounded the American army. Germans proposed American counterpart to surrender. The reply Americans sent was just one word 'Nuts'. I am not sure whether Germans understood the meaning of the word.
Last night my girlfriend asked, pointing out the pictures in advertisement of intel and slashdot, what the brain-like objects are, I answered 'it's nuts'. She said 'I see.'
I had no idea why nuts means a fool in English until she points out. Brain made of nuts must be 'nuts'.

The frenzy of love sometimes leads to the state similar to madness. If two lovers can't see for a while they always think the other while they are away. It was not just two or three times as if I became mad when the feeling of missing is about to overwhelm my sense.
Then when they are together they always spend all their time, they sometimes lose sight of surroundings. They sometimes concentrate on their love affairs night and day, and night.
For these several months I've been spending our holidays together so similar to such a madness.

Unlike other sciences, history is not based on an objective truth. History can be distorted at its extremity if a deviser of history ignores matters that are unfavourable for him and picks up only favourable events.
All teachers are unavoidably liable to becoming a lier if they had to use only such distorted textbooks. All teachers need to introduce not only one view but also other views aside from what those textbook say as to one historical event. We will be able to form some common recognition of history through exchanging different views as to one event.
James Loewen's book is worth reading, thanks for referring.

History consists of the endless combination of cause and result, so it's not permissable for us to utter the word 'if'. If there hadn't been such events, the world might have changed a lot. et.al..Those sound meaningless in a study of history.
We usually have to assume what really occurred from past records both in bibliographical and archaeological ways. If we only rely on bibliographical study in deciding what really occurred, we might be misled. Because those descriptions are often subjuct to being rewritten later. Archaeological evidence helps us to determine what really occurred. But unfortunately lack of evidence in archaeology does not prove that there were no such events in the past.
We have nothing for it but to construct generally what history is from what really occurred in the past refering to lots of bibliographical study and archaeological evidence. In short, history is neither to condemn nor deny, it is but to understand.

Communion

Jesus Christ commanded to hold only one ceremony in his whole life to recall the true meaning of his crusification. This ceremony is called Communion or the Eucharist. He said in the Last Supper that the unleavened bread represents his body and wine his blood. The message he wanted to send might be that the today's prosperity was not built in a day but brought under tens of thousands of sacrifices our forerunners made. Communion is held every Sunday in Cathoric. In some sect this ceremony is held annually in the season of Passover as Jesus did just before his compensation.

For the first time in ten years I brought the oil heater out of the warehouse, now I'm using it in a room surrounded by walls and shutters made in wood and paper. We don't have a furnace in our room, let alone chimneys, so it's improper for us to use gas stove or something similar because there's no exchange of air in the room. Because our room is not made of materials enough to protect from coldness and wind, we are vulnerable to coldness. The lowest temperature tomorrow morning will cross the zero centigrade. I'd better take a rest soon.

Strength For The Earthquake
Strength For The Earthquake
2007.02.03 1:36
Japan is prone to the earthquakes, so there's a standard in the strength for the hit of earthquake. If one building can't have enough strength in the event of earthquakes, it won't be permitted to construct. Many buildings including hotels and skyscraper condos had failed to fulfill these criteria. Some are ordered to destruct all and reconstruct after all were constructed. They forged the document thinking their unjust is not likely to reveal.
No one would doubt whether thier buildings were constructed by using proper material before the earthquake and no one would be unable to confirm whether those builings were constructed by using materials strong enough to endure in the event of earthquake after all buildings were destructed by earthquake.
Devisers must have thought they successfully get away with punishment, but they didn't realise there's an earthquake before the real earthquake hit the building.

For corporations the most important matter is trust. They have to end their economic activity when they lost trust among their customers.
Recently many reknown companies accused of selling a product or using material whose consumption term is expired. Once such unjusts revealed, the all products of those companies are sure to be out of the market. Sometimes those companies bankrupt at one night.

A Question Of Nebchadnezzar
A Question Of Nebchadnezzar
2007.02.01 2:09
'Tell me what I dreamt at night and interpret it.'- That was King Nebchadnezzar's question. Many wise people asked the king to tell what he dreamt, then they all insist they can interpret what suggested his dream was. But because the king said tell him his dream, no one dared to tell what he dreamt lest it shouldn't be his dream.
Only wise man Daniel was able to tell him what his dream was and interpret it, although king didn't tell his dream. Why he was able to do so? Because King Nebchadnezzar wanted to hear only good interpretation from whatever his dream was. Suppose he told them his dream, there might be interpretted in many ways. In his mind one dream must be interpretted in one way, and that must have been a good sign. Daniel looked through his real intention, he told him what his dream was and interpretted as the king wanted, the dream the king saw was only known to the king, there was no reason for the king to deny what his dream was if he were able to be satisfied with the interpretation someone made.
Normally it's impossible for ordinary people to answer his question, only a voyant can answer it. Daniel was a voyant as such.
