Curfew In Kobe
2005.12.12 19:18
In January, 1995, the strong earthquake hit Kobe, left 5000 people dead. I had a chance to see the devastated area after the earthquake. At that time Kobe was definitely one of the most prosperous one million cities -the population was 1.3 million -in Japan, but after the quake, the city came down to as if the third grade city. What I noticed was that the patrol cars were circulating with a siren throughout the affected area incessantly. They needed to protect their abandoned area from looting. When natural disaster was the first cause of their mishaps, usually human disaster follows, still the city has been struggling from severe damages made those days.
This year our city had the earthquake similar to the size of the Kobe earthquake ten years ago, but we were extremely lucky since the epicentre of the quake happened to be located ten kilometres away off the shore, our city survived. Remember the natural disaster doesn't have nothing to do with human factors. Majority of buildings collapsed after the quake was built before 1981. At that time the standard of constructing buildings didn't fulfill the requirements regulated later of this year for possible quake occurrence.

Giant Jelly Fish
Giant Jelly Fish
2005.12.12 18:00
Usually in this season of the year -winter, a handful of giant jelly fish are seen on the beach, usually 1 body per 100 metres is found dead and landed on the long (15 km) beach near here. There are many jelly fish at sea that appears after 15th of August every year. We can't enjoy swimming at sea for this reason in the late summer. If we were bit, the ichiness lasts for 7 or 8 years - I am the one who used to be bit by this behemoth, still I feel itchy for the wound I had several years ago, so keep away from contacting this sea animal. There are possibly three ways for utilisation. First one is for food, and the second is its poison -strong alchaloid called tagecine, which might be utilised for medical purposes. The last one would be for energy. Some giant jelly fish are known for generating electricity, the ampare is so small but the bolt is very strong. We might be able to make use of it for energy by collecting these creatures in a pool, etc.

I know you've written before that the "R" sound and the "L" sound in English are easily confused by native Japanese speakers (if I'm saying htat right), and I wanted to let you know that we would write as "Jelly Fish."
I have hear that their stings are extremely painful, but I didn't know that they linger on. DO you ever take pictures of them strewn across the beach?

Thank you very much. I was unable to find any entries of 'jeRRy' fish in Wiki, so I thought they are uncommon in Western world. Seas are connected, who claimed jellyfish is not found at sea in the world except here?
Here is the link [timesonline.co.uk]. While this behemoth was dead on the beach 7 years ago, I investigated fully with all my body (guess?).

that maybe because of glbal warming, this year the jelly fish are so big that they are breaking the nets of japanese fishermen, and ruining their livelihood this way.however, whether these fishermen are actually trying to catch jellyfish (with nets?) or are after other fish i don't know.

Jellyfish is edible, but only a part of it -a part called arms, so in comparison to its huge main body called bell, edible part is just tiny. Mainly because they eat lots of small fish at sea that causes trouble.

Eight Horns
Eight Horns
2005.12.12 15:51
Swiss phermaceutical company Roche invented Tamiflu and the medicine was originally based on the lengthy study how to make use of one of the Chinese medicines or additives for food -this is long believed to be effective to some form of cold, the name of it is Eight Horns.
To have it directly does not prevent someone from having a cold but just resulting in feeling excited, but the company extracted, concentrated the effective ingredients and made into pills and now this medicine is regarded as one of the most effective medicines for flus.
There are many beliefs not only in the East but anywhere in the world as to which food is effective to some disease. But to collect these information, utilise them and invent a new drug is a totally different thing. West science overcame East tradition.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of my mother-in-law in China. I had caught a terrible cold after a couple of days in Beijing, and it got worse on the train ride over to the city that was the final destination. While there, I visited a good number of my mother-in-law's friends in preparation to the wedding. She told me to take Chinese herbs and drink a special (extremely foul) tea. I wanted to leave, get over to the phamacist, and get some Tylonel Cold medicine. I was cranky after having been in China for ten days (I don't travel well), and said, "Chairman Mao used an iron lung broughy by Henry Kissinger." My mother-in-law (who did not necessarily like her friend) thought that the most witty thing she had heard all year.

China has long history of nature based medicines - from botany, animals, bones, etc. On the other hands the West came up with synthesised medicines through scientific, chemical research & development. But probably those R&D are originally derived from a careful observation on the phenomenon of nature. We had a report that China's also trying to produce effective medicines from very large collections of Chinese nature based drugs. If they succeeded, we wouldn't need to use an iron lung to breeze the herb of very foul tea anymore.

The West also has a long history of natural medicines, but this is often forgotten because of the growth of chemistry over the last couple of centuries. For example, aspirin (acetylsalicytic acid) is produced synthetically because the raw extract from willow bark or meadowsweet flowers is rather toxic*, but the pain killing properties of willow bark were noted by Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. St John's Wort and red clover are two other herbs used traditionally in the West that spring to mind.That said, there is a lot of bunkum in traditional medicines (I'm not singling out Chinese medicine here); there are plenty of examples where a reputed theraputic effect simply doesn't appear in epidemiological studies, and some cases where the side effects are greater than the medicinal value. The point I'm making is that natural doesn't automatically equate to effective or safe, but it is a very good place to start looking.*Fortunately, willow bark tastes terrible, so its very difficult to eat enough to cause major problems.

Bacchei
2005.12.12 3:06
I often chose the liquor for its name. Yesterday I found the Japanese Shochu named 'Bacchei'. (Literaly means in Japanese, the pleasure of malts.) Actually the name of this Shochu has nothing to do with Roman Gods, but that happened to be the same pronounciation as their name. If the one who named knew the origin of the word, it is splendid.

Bacchus is well-known to among ordinary Japanese as God of wine in Greek mythology, but when it comes to Bacchei, I don't think many Japanese know. Originally I thought Bacchei is a plural form of Bacchus assuming from other examples in Greek words. Again I looked it up in search, it was the women of Bacchus. Anyway it sounds great.

This one is the eleventh of its kind since first one was introduced in 1986. It took 5 second for a step first and now .3 second in the latest version.
We have no information released as to how much it cost, since it is a realisation of dream, they don't seem to reveal money matter.--

In my very early childhood, Iron Arms Atom, Iron Man No.28 were a hero. The former is known to American people as Astro Boy and it is so similar to Asimo. Of course functions of Asimo is still very limited in comparison to Asto Boy that can fly and have extremely strong power. Since Astro Boy was invented by an anime writer in 1958, humanoid robot has been much closer to real.--

Currently I am just working around 35 hours per week, I hope I work more 15 hours per week.
Really 'No pain, no gain.' I have neither time to spend extra working hours nor time to watch TV. I am just OK, but now I am rather humble person. I find new job whatever to seek for an new encounter, findings, insight into the nature of humans, besides making more earnings. Let's go.

About fourteen years ago, we had only two or three foreigners' bars in downtown, now they are more than five -doesn't make big difference though, and I always visited one of them called 'The Big Apple'. The premises are very small with only ten seats available, but with also a small hall they had always twenty strong people inside the bar. Sometimes that exceeded thirty and we sometimes had troubles as fist-fighting, sexual harassment, molestation, pick-pocketting, but also we had nice conversations and instant love affairs. We all complained about the smallness of the bar and scarcity of its kind in town, but it was still in early 1990s. Foreigners are not so common as they are now.
There I kept on visiting for 210 consecutive days, I mean for seven months. Every night I made it a rule to come to the bar at as early as 7, then stayed up until 5. I usually stayed there for 7 or 8 hours talking to guys and gals from inside and outside Japan. Actually all my -4 loves, including ex-, post-ex-wifes, a current love, a former love are from foreigners' bars. I mean they are great places to brush up your thoughts, but now the days are gone. I prefer sitting in front of the screen rather than dancing in the hall, but if you are young enough, I strongly recommend dropping in at the bar where you can know the world directly from your eyes, noses, ears, hands, and body.
I had worked both in a bar or cabaret and a restaurant before. To vist a bar is very ammusing but to work there is very different from vising as a guest. I had to always put myself in a third person position. I was far from enjoying the ambience there. That is mere my experience or observation there, why not try working?

Thank you for encouraging. The main discussion here in Slashdot seems Intelligent Design versus Evolution. I will write a journal entry soon on that, probably. In short my point is this is a red-herring, people are arguing beside what is important by talking about ID vs EV. Since to believe in God is a matter of personal conviction, this is fallen into within a range of freedom of belief. No one can prove God exists but just you believe in or not. What's more important is those people who believe in God and don't believe in God, both advocates of Intelligent Design and Evolution make a common frontier and to oppose the movement of dangerous currents -rise of nihilism, I certainly believe both a man of faith and a secure scientist are men of conscience, and all had better concentrate on more crucial, emminent, realistic social issues such as the severe lack of the stock of Tamiful in the possible wake of new type influenza pandemic, etc. Let's talk about something we can find the better answer for the better society, that's what I really want to say it out loud. Probably you can feel sympathy with me, for I didn't like to speak out with guys who don't intend to hear.

China has long history of nature based medicines - from botany, animals, bones, etc. On the other hands the West came up with synthesised medicines through scientific, chemical research & development. But probably those R&D are originally derived from a careful observation on the phenomenon of nature. We had a report that China's also trying to produce effective medicines from very large collections of Chinese nature based drugs. If they succeeded, we wouldn't need to use an iron lung to breeze the herb of very foul tea anymore.

Some Consideration
2005.12.11 22:33
Drugs are poison and medicine at the same time. Drugs themselves are located beyond the judgement of good and evil but once we failed to apply, it would invite the aftermath beyond our imagination.
It takes huge cost to develop new medicines, instead it cost much less just to find what disease to apply. That oughtn't necessarily to be reduced to the matter of cost though, it is a reality.,p. Aspirin is confirmed to be one of the most effective medicines ever and there has been no significant side effect on this medicine. But remember there are some cases some medicine turned to be both harmful and beneficial depending on being applied to the kinds of diseases. We need lots of clinical tests when we tried to apply some medicines to other diseases. Any way it's supposed to cost a lot as well.

Questionable Effectiveness &Application

that extracts hydrogen directly from water using only solar energy.
I still doubt the effectiveness of this technic, in space how to apply and how cost effective in space for what?
The University of Tokyo is a national university, they are using millions of out taxes, I want them to do R&D in a field more explicable to anyone.
A Moment Of Evolution
2005.12.11 22:21
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
2005.12.11 22:20
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.
Caveat
2005.12.11 22:17
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.
Searched By Score
2005.12.11 8:08
Yahoo!, Google, msn, there are some search engines in every day use, but still I'm not sure what criteria they are using. The number of links? The number of access? Both are not so bad, but sometimes I find some are based on the differences in what computer language was used. In using some computer languages, the sites are easier to extract and more practical to use. In this case regardless of the number of links, access, there are some sites that tend to appear first.
Among many other search engines, slashdot is the best, since they are generated in order by score. The serach engine that evaluates the value of contents in score -that's finest.
We Call Them By Number
2005.12.11 7:55
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.
To call them Greek alphabet -alpha, beta, gumma is still too stylish and scholastic -it is like a radiation, I think No.1, 2, 3 .. is just fine and enough
Limitless Human Resources
2005.12.11 7:49
Fusion battery -aka fuel cell will be the next most prosperous alternatives for fossil fuel. It will take a little bit time to materialise the theory Einstein reached - E=mc2, it is worth while for us to work for it.
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.
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.
Leave it to Natural Selection
2005.12.10 8:43
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. This is just a result of adaptation of life. There are only one rule for it. -Let it be.
Psedo-Academic Misconception
2005.12.10 8:41
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.
History of Books
2005.12.10 8:39
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.

#Software Patents
As long as this article tells us, yes. However this agreement has a lot of loopholes, and it's just a gentlemen agreement. Still only upper class believes software patents protectable, but in reseacher levels, more and more it's dubious for them to be able to keep the software patents.
#Tester
It was a little bit sad to read that the cloud was originally devised for notification purposes in case of emergency leaking of polluted chemical materials. Always human wisdom has been trying to get over the unwelcomed situations.
Will That Matters
2005.12.09 7:01
When we swim, we use all arms and legs, not just only two arms. When our ancesters landed from the sea, they must have used all arms and legs first, then only later when they had gotten accustomed to moving, they learned to use only two parts of the body - legs. When our ancesters wanted to fly, they must have used all four arms and legs, and only later when they had gotten accustomed to flying over the sky, they just stopped using two parts of their body -legs. Everything is a matter of will, when there is a will, there is a way.

#Sword With Two Edges
In the near future, almost all financial transactions will be done with in the Internet. But I hope I want to spend $10 instead of $100 for buying a book or rather downloading an e-book. The Internet has to invite cheaper and more accesible society. Otherwise it can turn to be an uncontrollable tool.
#OSS
Thanks to many friends here and there elsewhere, my notion as to OSS I previously held has been changing a lot, now I feel this movement is a kind of great experiment in the Internet world. I understand many companies have been trying to adopt the sysyem as you mentioned above, how about Microsoft? You let me know the existence of incubator club before. I can't believe this giant company is just opposing to this movement
the Internet is a kind of great experiment of the F/OSS movement -lars
As if I were able to open the new perspective before me.

It's Not Always Good For Anyone. The problem is always how to take these compounds in. If they smoke, they fulfil their right to take them in, but that infringes somebody's right not to take them in. If they take these compounds HU-210 or synthetic THU in their body in the form of pill or capsule, that's fine.

Usually in this season of the year -winter, a handful of giant jellyfish are seen on the beach, usually 1 body per 100 metres is found dead and landed on the long (15 km) beach near here. There are many jellyfish at sea that appears after 15th of August every year. We can't enjoy swimming at sea for this reason in the late summer. If we were bit, the ichiness lasts for 7 or 8 years - I am the one who used to be bit by this behemoth, still I feel itchy for the wound I had several years ago, so keep away from contacting this sea animal. There are possibly three ways for utilisation. First one is for food, and the second is its poison -strong alchaloid called tagecine, which might be utilised for medical purposes. The last one would be for energy. Some giant jellyfish are known for generating electricity, the ampare is so small but the bolt is very strong. We might be able to make use of it for energy by collecting these creatures in a pool, etc.--

Roche generated Tamiflu was based on the lengthy study how to make use of one of the Chinese medicines or additives for food -this is long believed to be effective to some form of cold, the name of it is Eight Horns. To have it directly does not prevent someone from having a cold but just feel excited, but the company extracted, concentrated the effective ingredients and made into pills and now this medicine is regarded as one of the most effective medicines for flus.

Cabaret
About fourteen years ago, we had only two or three foreigners' bars in downtown, now they are more than five -doesn't make big difference though, and I always visited one of them called 'The Big Apple'. The premises are very small with only ten seats available, but with also a small hall they had always twenty strong people inside the bar. Sometimes that exceeded thirty and we sometimes had troubles as fist-fighting, sexual harassment, molestation, pick-pocketting, but also we had nice conversations and instant love affairs. We all complained about the smallness of the bar and scarcity of its kind in town, but it was still in early 1990s. Foreigners are not so common as they are now.
There I kept on visiting for 210 consecutive days, I mean for seven months. Every night I made it a rule to come to the bar at as early as 7, then stayed up until 5. I usually stayed there for 7 or 8 hours talking to guys and gals from inside and outside Japan. Actually all my -4 loves, including ex-, post-ex-wifes, a current love, a former love are from foreigners' bars. I mean they are great places to brush up your thoughts, but now the days are gone. I prefer sitting in front of the screen rather than dancing in the hall, but if you are young enough, I strongly recommend dropping in at the bar where you can know the world directly from your eyes, noses, ears, hands, and body.
I used to work both in a bar or cabaret and a restaurant. To visit a bar is very ammusing but to work there is very different from visting as a guest. I had to always put myself in a third person position. I was far from enjoying the ambience there. That is mere my experience or observation there, why not try working?

Shield of Water

When I got married in the past and the name of the marriage ring we bought was acquascutum, literaly shield of water, water shield is so strong that can keep from anything. If so it stands to reason that water can repel water.

Dependency
2005.12.07 6:09
One journalist was the first Japanese to travel space in the invitation of former Soviet Union some fifteen years ago. Now more and more Japanese have been participating in a space program of USA, probably some ten astronauts. It is no wonder if another Japanese were invited by Russia, and unlike China that can develop manned spacecraft on its own, Japan has to heavily rely on other superstate.
One Analysis of OSS Currents
2005.12.07 5:57
Yes, it is very beneficial to users, but no, it is less profittable to companies.
Knowledge has to prevail, should be liberated from the handful of cronies to the general public, but sometimes a theory of companies go against the benenit of ordinary users.
Also unification to the common open source software shows vulnerability to the system itself. Open source software is convenient to use, but at the same time hinders us from innovating other software regardless of whether it is more convenient or not. The feature of capitalism lies in its allowing many other alternatives to show up in a market, all these flowers are not substitutes for others but they themselves are one and only, unique one.
Reason of Share Decline
2005.12.07 5:54
I think more than one-tenth fall of total share of that company has something to do with its relying on OSS in some of its product (Shipment of computers, with Apple's OS X, was also up. OS X uses many F/OSS components and utilities, many from the GNU project in particular.) In general, those companies who has succeeded in developing new technologies tend to be evaluated much more in the stock market. There's a difference between private companies use OSS and public institutes like goverment -local, national whatever do.

Thank you for encouraging. The main discussion here in Slashdot seems Intelligent Design versus Evolution. I will write a journal entry soon on that, probably. In short my point is this is a red-herring, people are arguing beside what is important by talking about ID vs EV. Since to believe in God is a matter of personal conviction, this is fallen into within a range of freedom of belief. No one can prove God exists but just you believe in or not. What's more important is those people who believe in God and don't believe in God, both advocates of Intelligent Design and Evolution make a common frontier and to oppose the movement of dangerous currents -rise of nihilism, I certainly believe both a man of faith and a secure scientist are men of conscience, and all had better concentrate on more crucial, emminent, realistic social issues such as the severe lack of the stock of Tamiful in the possible wake of new type influenza pandemic, etc. Let's talk about something we can find the better answer for the better society, that's what I really want to say it out loud. Probably you can feel sympathy with me, for I didn't like to speak out with guys who don't intend to hear.

Climate Change in Amazon
2005.12.05 6:06
It's very unusual since the Amazon is located at the midst of tropical rain forest climate zone. The Amazon is supposed to take pride in its abundand water in quantity. Climate change is so unpredictable as the Amazon is.
As to the cause of climate change -deforestation, major deforestation took place in the earliest civilisations first. Then after Europeans colonised America, another major deforestation took place. The third wave has been in progress in the developing countries. And the countries already exploited are opposing to the move.

Future Map
2005.12.05 5:52
Our country lies adjacent to China -big state, historically speaking our country has been subject to very strong Chinese influence especially in culture, so I must say still 70% of Japanese culture are consisted of Chinese in basis. Its population, territory, along with its culture, history, almost everything is surpassing our country. In the day China surpass EU in R&D or something, Japan will be diminishing its role in international scene.
In the long history of its own, China has never lost a sense of balance. So I rely on the future map of Asia. It is very pleasurable to see the healthy expansion of the country in the region.
Prediction
2005.12.05 5:50
Prediction always occurs before something is invented, usually SF writers, distinguished philosophers predict what they thought it convenient if we acquired. Some are realised then they were thought forerunners or something. But many others still remained to be unrealised. Prediction is not difficult, what's difficult is invention.
Life Science
2005.12.04 22:18
Is there any difference in cloned animals and genetically modified crops in way of thinking in production? How about relationship with monsodium glutamate?
I see, so you think a cloned organism is safer than genetically modified crops because clone is a copy of that already existed- usually identical or excellent one, and genetically modified one was not that already existed -therefore their effect is unknown to the environment?
Our biotechnology has been enabled us to produce varirty of food products mainly in fermentation, now we've been opening the gate to crops and meats to ensure obtain good and enough supply of food. I mean we are not supposed to rule out the way to obtain foods in utilising biotechnology simply because those are unknown to us.
Japan's Space Technology -Behind the Times
2005.12.04 22:10
I must say Japan's spacecraft technology still leaves much to be desired. In consistency and accuracy, this country is located behind the times.
China. No, no I mean I'm not sure who to compare. Japan is one of the leading industrial countries -in cars, TVs, robotics, but when it comes to space industry as well as aircraft industry sure the counry is still behind the times.
Japan always show sophisticated technic in using micro technology-in other words, software , but as to macro technology -in other words, hardware, they typically show their lack of comprehension, besides they lack perspective, philosophy, overall understanding as to the meaning of space use, in short, they lack the macrocosm of space technology. This is a sytematic problem, and it's sad though hard to cure so easily in two or three decades.
Uranium Matters
2005.12.04 21:51
From several sources, theoretically speaking, both Germany and Japan might have had a nuclear weapon. But both countries hadn't got most important material -uranium. 50 years ago -in Ningyotoge here in Japan the nuclear agency dug uranium but it didn't take so much time to realise the uranium was not good enough in quality to produce nuclear arms.
Learn From Precedents
2005.12.04 21:48
New Orleans have never had such a flood. She has to learn from the good examples of the cities in Old Contients like Amsterdom and Venice. The turmoil of this time only shows the lack of experience, if she had learned a lot from this time hardship, she will be rebuilding the nicest city furthermore.

December, the same as here. It's cold but inside the house we can spend intimate time nevertheless. You are 4 years older than I and you have already had your kids raised and they have got married. You must have been spending a wonderful life near Charlotte, I guess. On the way to my workplace from my house -it's 1.5 km long, I found 4 houses that decorated with Christmas lightings. We had only one last Christmas. As the use of the information technology is going on, our distance from your country to ours has been drastically decreasing.

Our friendship started at the journal discussion,'the Origin of Your Nickname', created by johndiii, where I got a friendship from Ethe, and daniil for the first time. While Ethe and I were talking about Nietzsche's thought, she suggested his thought was made use of by Nazis owing to its perplexities.
Again in johndiii's journal discussion, ' what's your favourite poem?' I raised 'Une Saison En Enfer, The Season In Hell' written by Rimbaud, she gave me a kind comment.
Assuming these, she must be a woman who loves literature, especially among Americans two names - Nietzsche & Rimbaud- have been not so common, as a matter of fact she is a European. Subsequently we had a couple of conversations in both of our journals.
Among European literary people, George Sand is a famous woman who didn't like her gender. She wore as men did, and had a long relationship with Chopin, assuming her fondness to be men didn't affect her preference in her sexuality, she was a heterosexual.
Her confession really amazed me, probably she doesn't come back under the same nickname. I hope she come back soon under the different name - which doesn't have to reflect her gender, it doesn't matter whether we are female or male not only in the internet, but also many other fields in the society as well.

i thought you might be named after the car, but i wasn't sure.daniil also i suspected the writer - who i only heard of after she mentioned him somewhere.Karl Weierstrass is the name of a German mathematician of the 19th century. He is pretty much my favourite mathematician for a few reasons.He is seen as the father of 'analysis', a branch of maths i specialise in.Analysis is about the precise and formal treatment of concepts earlier mathematicians dealt with intuitively - infinity, the number line, the space of all possible numbers etc.

It also happens to be Russian form my of first name, Tanel (it being the Estonian form of Daniel). There, it's really quite simple. -- Hell is not other people; it is yourself. - Ludwig Wittgenstein
For the overall observation of the origins of someone's nicknames, see johndiii's presentation [slashdot.org].As long as I know this one is the most comprehensive.
As to mine, the name of the famous car company came up my mind when I had to decide the nickname, thus. Were you expecting more romantic story? How about yours?

i thought you might be named after the car, but i wasn't sure.daniil also i suspected the writer - who i only heard of after she mentioned him somewhere.Karl Weierstrass is the name of a German mathematician of the 19th century. He is pretty much my favourite mathematician for a few reasons.He is seen as the father of 'analysis', a branch of maths i specialise in.Analysis is about the precise and formal treatment of concepts earlier mathematicians dealt with intuitively - infinity, the number line, the space of all possible numbers etc.

Roughly speaking, in macrocosm the law of relativism rules and in microcosm the quantum theory rules and here in our daily life the law of gravity rules. We have to apply completely different rules than here to invent an eternal engine. Strictly speaking there's no such engines but there must be an extremely efficient energy that is replaceable our dependency to fuel energy. I hope human wisdom will prevail beyond the limitations of our realms of living.--

Robot is a characterisation of machines, cars could be a robot if we thought lights as eyes and wheels as arms and legs, and I am opposed to give them too much credence since machines are just machines. However they oftentimes show more accurate evaluation and decision than humans. Above all they are impartial, so I like them.--

Other BarsWe used to have only one foeigner's bar - that is 'International Bar' in 1980s, next one was 'Bollox' which was only open on Saturday nights weekends. Then in early 1990s we had 'The Big Apple' at the midst of Oyafuko Dori where I spent tens of thousands of years -it was at the midst of my early thirties too. Probably after three years it was closed down abruptly.
Then 'Off Broadway' opened -it was actually slightly before 'The Big Apple' was closed that the original 'Off Broadway' was opened, then moved, current one is the third premises. We had 'The Dark Room' at the same period, now moved though. The Dark Room is famous for its butterfly design, if you were here in town you would probably easy to find the place because of the mark. Ask where the butterfly sign to any foreigners here, if they are not newbies they would probably take you to the place.

Internet CelebritiesWednesday, August 24, 2005Internet Celebrities Special Thanks to Marxist Hacker 42 If any of you used to visit slashdot.org. site, you would notice there are some Slashdot celebrities, those apeared repeatedly in your journal, in a debate elsewhere in Slashdot. It was him who replied to me whatever comments I post so as if it were not for his courtesy, I would not be able to be one of slashdotters. I happened to have the same 'handlename' mercedo in Slashdot, Blogger, Livejournal. I will enhance my world in using all these stages -world stage indeed. Also special thanks to Morosoph. We had lengthy debate wherever we encountered either in my site or in his journal. I admit his uniqueness in the ways of thinkings, oftentimes I encountered difficulties in understanding him though. Some of my journals are directly responded to his many insightful comments. But for his journals & comments, my journal would have only ended up in a more humble one. Thank you very much. Marxist hacker 42, Morosoph and other Slashdot celebrities are also celebrities in the Internet. I hope they can be very famous in the near future, as well as I do.posted by mercedo 3:57 AM

Face transplant is revolutionary. Probably I think these techniques have been long developed from tens of thousands of cosmetic surgeries held by women from the pursuit of beauty. In our country(Japan), $20,000 enables them to have a perfect face, once we saw before and after of a woman who made this, the result was just amazing!--

Digital devide between Korea and Japan has been increasing very rapidly. Reason 1; Japan is urbanised but Korea is much more urbanised than Japan, and concentration of population to urban area is very conspicuous. 2; They use Korean alphabet-Japanese don't have an alphabet, which makes more suitable to getting access to computers.--

Christianity, existentialism are human-centristic. Structuralism is anti-egocentristic.
Anthropocentrism means both human-centrism (good) and egocentrism (bad), I don't want to assert the superiority of one thought than another, so I carefully used the term 'human-centrism'.

Tabacco Stream
About more than twenty years ago, about 70% of male and 30% of female makes a half strong population smoked. So they were majority and were smoking inside the premises, offices, schools, station building, etc. whearever whenver they want to smoke . I non-smokers were unable to be with them so I never get into the company cafeterria where many smokers were smoking. All I had to do was just get out of the room, take a long breath in the air. Now things have greatly changed. About 40% of male and 15 percent of female are smokers, makes 20-30% of entire population smoke. They are not allowed to smoke inside the building any more. So we can stay in the premises, offices, schools, station building, etc. However because all smokers are smoking outside the buildings, we tend to have got a tabacco stream on the street. Suppose 20-30 percent of entire population are smoking outside, that's inevitably makes air contaminated by nicotin.
Please take all the smokes they came up with themselves.
