Recent Two Miracles
(Les deux derniers des miracles)


Last Sunday, when I walked up stairs from the underground subway station in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo, I happened to see a relay vehicle (which I just saw near the Tokyo National Stadium 30 minutes or so ago) a TV station used to track the Tokyo Women's Marathon Race on streets, though the race had been already over, as one of the above pictures shows.

The location of the exit or entrance to the subway station of the Oh-Edo Line at Minami ("south") Aoyama was just next to a Honda's car shop where they displayed mainly FIT cars.

And, Honda's FIT was awarded the Japanese Car of the Year Prize a few days ago.

I might happen to be seeing Somebody of the Year (not necessarily on TV).

Indeed, each of you is the One Specific Fruit of the One Million Year Mankind Endurance.

Truly, Jesus Christ is the Man of Every Year.






Mat 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.


Luk 10:1 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Truth of Japanese Ladies

Truth of Japanese Ladies
(La vérité de japonais chers)


1. A Japanese Madame Curie
Last night NHK's reporting program moderated by Ms. Hiroko Kuniya presented a Japanese female scientist who died this September.

The scientist, the late Ms. Katsuko Saruhashi, conducted in late 1950's "the first research showing how the effects of fallout can spread across the entire world, and not just affect the immediate area."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuko_Saruhasi

It was when the US Government launched "more than 20 nuclear weapons tests between 1946 and 1958, including the first test of a practical dry fuel hydrogen bomb in 1952" at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, which harmed some Japanese fishing ships.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll

It was somehow very moving to see a Japanese lady who had been educated only in schools and higher education institutes in Japan but could achieve the result leading the world.

But, if we look back to the Japanese history and know that 50% of Japanese people (men 79%; women 21%; and samurai 100%) could read and write even before Japan's Westernization in the late 19th century and the literacy rates in Europe and North America in the 19th and 18th century were lower than Japan's (even farmers 20%), it may be not a big surprise.


2. Three-Year Blog by a Japanese Working Lady
In her blog, a Japanese woman reported on a report issued by the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva.

Rates of Those Who Possess Small Weapons per 100 Citizens:
USA.........90
Yemen.....61
Finland....56
Swiss.......46
Iraq.........39
Serbia......38
France.....32
Canada.....31
Austria.....31
Germany....30

There are 270 million small weapons possessed by citizens in the U.S., 46 million in India, and 40 million in China.

Roughly speaking, no Japanese citizens possess any fire arms, such as a handgun, which is one of big differences between Japanese and Americans or Europeans.

It also tells simply how less barbarous Japanese or the Japanese society is when compared with Americans and Europeans.

But, what took my attention on her blog was not such statistics.

She works in a security company; she loves works of literature created by Albert Camus; and she is interested in thoughts of John Maynard Keynes.

But, she also wrote that after three years of her writing blog she is now losing a confidence in continuing it.
http://triceratops.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/

However, I am faraid if Japanese politicians wrongly adopt and push globalization in Japan, the Japanese society will probably be full of handguns, and no ordinary working-class ladies will write about Albert Camus and John Maynard Keynes just like in the U.S. and Europe.


3. A Japanese Girl in a Reformatory
A Japan's Nippon Television news program presented last night a Japanese teenager who is now forced to spend her time in a public correction facility.

Her parents got divorced, and she lived with her mother who got mentally sick to stop working, which forced the girl to work immediately after graduating from the junior high school.

The girl did not like her job and had a severe quarrel with her mother. She got associated with a bad man who left her later; and she got involved in illegal act to be eventually arrested by police.

But, now her mind and heart are being cured in the reformatory where her mother sometimes visits for reconciliation.
* * *

The above may be a routine sequence of my checking news and trends of the day through TV and the Internet.

Ms. Hiroko Kuniya is still on active service on TV; the Internet is serving me for good cause; even Nippon Television, an affiliate company of the controversially-managed Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, is shifting its focus to social problems among ordinary or poor people.

But, it is a news program of the (once controversially-M&A-targeted) Fuji TV that has continued its focus on victims of a certain medication scandal who conducted a strike in front of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, a moth ago.

Indeed, when other media neglected those victims sitting in a rainy night before the Ministry in Tokyo, they reported it even in the late night news program which usually completes my monitoring of the day.

Truly, this medication scandal aggravated by negligence by the Ministry is going to decide the fate of the incumbent ruling parties in the next general election, just like the movie "Sicko" directed by Mr. Michael Moore might have a decisive influence on the US Presidential Election, since even some Japanese politicians have praised in their blogs the film on hugely biased US health and medical systems.



(Now, Ms. Agnes Chan is reporting on poor people in India on an NHK satellite TV channel.

She, born in Hong Kong, has been popular in Japan as a celebrity in these 30 years.

That is why I am expecting a Japanese female reporter to report on poor people in Europe, the Islamic world, and the U.S.

By the way, today, Friday, is a public holiday in Japan. How I wish I could be lazy and relax for these three days ahead!)

A Japanese Journalist vs. Prime Ministers and Dark Forces

(Outside the Tokyo National Stadium - "Kokuritsu Kyougi-jyou")



A Japanese Journalist vs. Prime Ministers and Dark Forces

(Un journaliste japonais vs Premiers ministres et forces obscures)



In the US, the former Attorney General was as a matter of fact forced to resign despite President Mr. George Bush's strong friendship due to persistent pursuit by the US media.

In Japan, a few months ago, then Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe resigned at his own initiative despite expected accusation against his decision on the unthinkable timing which is against commonsense and a national political schedule.

Behind Mr. Shinzo Abe's decision, there was no strong and persistent pursuit by the Japanese mainstream media except one notable journalist Mr. Takashi Tachibana.

Mr. Takashi Tachibana publicly announced that he would fight against Mr. Shinzo Abe a year ago when Mr. Abe was elected prime minister, since Mr. Abe did not look like trustworthy and inspiring while keeping controversial association with super-rich people in various sectors.
http://www.fccj.or.jp/~fccjyod2/node/1321

Eventually, Mr. Shinzo Abe resigned due to his health problem, probably aggravated by psychological pressure from Mr. Takashi Tachibana who 30 years ago had also contributed to resignation of Kakuei Tanaka, a partner of then President Richard Nixon, from Japan's premiership by reporting so many scandals surrounding Kakuei Tanaka, which had made a hero of the then budding journalist Mr. Takashi Tachibana, though Mr. Tachibana has a very different personality from that of Mr. Bob Woodward.
* * *

Recently Mr. Takashi Tachibana interviewed a certain ex-prosecutor who is notorious for his hospitable service as a lawyer to gangsters or organized crime.

(This series of interview has been published in a certain monthly Japanese magazine, namely the "Bungei Shyunjyu," the latest edition of which contains many other interesting articles and reports.
http://www.bunshun.co.jp/mag/bungeishunju/index.htm )

Mr. Takashi Tachibana showed two big concerns in this interview: Why public prosecutors sometimes suddenly attack prominent super-rich men and notable politicians and also suddenly stop such investigation in some cases; and how much unlawful, dark forces have penetrated into the Japanese society.

You may easily understand the answer to the first one, since prosecutors also have pride, prejudice, and their own organizational priority and interest in keeping their own influence on various tiers in the society, even though regarded as political posturing, which is a source of their own profits and identities.

But, Mr. Tachibana's second concern may be more difficult to address, though you may be aware of a similar issue existent in the American society today, since the sub-prime loan problems are suggesting dubious association of related businesses with the Mafia and their friends.
* * *

Mr. Takashi Tachibana said in his interview with the ex-prosecutor who has been nowadays providing legal service to gangsters mainly in Osaka, "So, the Osaka area has been without doubt widely under covert influence of unlawful, dark forces, hasn't it?"

But, on last Sunday, voters of Osaka City, the center of West Japan, elected a candidate from the opposition party as their new mayor denying the incumbent mayor supported by the ruling parties, which must have a shattering influence on Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda who is said to be measuring the best timing for next general election.
* * *

In the US Presidential Election, I think the involvement of the Mafia and their friends in the sub-prime loan problems should be also a decisive factor for voters to elect their next president.

But, would Mr. Bob Woodward venture into the fight against the unlawful, dark forces hidden in the US financial sector?

Or is there any other hero in the US media who would tackle this new kind of loan-sharking?

Why wouldn't Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton declare the War on Sub-Prime Loan Exploitation that has so far resulted in total hundreds of billion dollar loss and emergency public fund infusion to the financial sectors in the US, Europe, and Japan?

Indeed, you need a journalist who can stand not only US presidents but also unlawful, dark forces here and there.

Truly, the U.S. and Japan are the world number one and number two economic powers that are full of sins even pious Muslims, if not members of AlQaeda or the Taliban, hiding or living deep in a mountain region or in a rural or barren field dreaming of luscious Heaven cannot bear.


(A devil looks very cheerful sometimes. An angel sometimes looks horrible.

If a devil serves delicious cuisine, it will harm you eventually.

But, good and holy medicine tastes bitter even in Tokyo, Paris, and New York, though in China they say foods and medicines are from the same source having the same effect.

Anyway, please don't come down with a cold, since the holy mission and program are going on.)

New Invention Applications Pending (2)

New Invention Applications Pending (2)
(L'invention de nouvelles demandes en attente)



A. Patterns to Facilitate Treading on a Staircase

1. Background of Invention
One of the greatest inventions mankind has ever made is a staircase or a flight of stairs.

But, strangely, since its invention probably tens of thousands years ago, its basic structure has never changed: a series of steps upward or downward in a monotonous manner.

This invention is to introduce a bit little innovation into its concept that mankind should tread on steps as if toiling.

2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding a method of facilitation of man's treading on steps of a stairway.

Specifically, it is to apply a unique pattern on steps, which has a psychological effect on the mind of a person treading on steps so that his or her psychological burden or pain in exercising physical power will be alleviated or lessened.

As there are many aged people in this world, especially in large cities where many stairways are used, this method to alleviate their pain to ascend a stairway will be useful and helpful.

In order to realize this effect, on each step and on each short wall connecting a lower step and a higher step a specific pattern or patterns will be applied, which has a visual effect to alleviate pedestrian's pain to ascend a stairway.

3. Detailed Specifications and Examples
(omitted)


B. Patterns to Avoid Trouble with a Dangerous Car

1. Background of Invention
There are many car accidents in every country. Especially, tragic are those caused by driving while intoxicated.

Accordingly, there are many inventions to make an easy check on a state of becoming intoxicated in a driver's seat or halt ignition of the engine until a driver passes such a check.

But, there is another way to decrease the number of accidents by promoting awareness in other drivers running around a dangerous car.

2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding a method to promote awareness in drivers running around a car that is owned and driven by a driver who has ever caused an accident by driving while intoxicated.

In order to achieve the above end, a special pattern is applied to the surface of the car body owned and driven by a driver who has ever caused an accident by driving while intoxicated.

The specific pattern on the body, which should be easily observed by other drivers running before or after the potentially dangerous car, tells that the car with the pattern has once been driven by an intoxicated driver.

One thing to be taken into consideration is a need of official or public enforcement of applying such a pattern to an identified car by law or by regulation. However, it does not change the nature of this invention.

3. Detailed Specifications and Examples
(omitted)


C. Patterns to Protect Internet Users

1. Background of Invention
There are many potentially dangerous sites and pages on the Internet.

In order to protect users and consumers from such sites, it is apparent that some measures should be taken without, however, violating freedom of speech, opinion, and legitimate business.

Therefore, even in combination with special network control devices, such as a functionally enhanced router, that can compulsorily cut off a link with such site, a method to give a warning with specific patters, superimposed on the image display of the site, to users and consumers who have accessed the site is needed.

2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding specific patterns themselves and a method to superimpose and display them on the image display of an illegal or unlawful site on a screen of a computer or a cellular phone an accessing user is using.

Such a pattern or patterns would have special warning effect about the site or the page and request an intended click on a check box on the pattern to continue the access to the site. The action of clicking will be transmitted to a center of the official Internet monitoring center.

Conversely, officers in such an official Internet monitoring center always try to find dubious sites and attach, in a simple manner, the automatic warning-patterns-display-function to a network device acting as a gateway for the specific dubious server or site to connect to the public Internet.

The invention of such a network device will be separately applied for patent.

New York Times and BBC online presented this morning (in Japan time) news reports involving Japanese in specific fields.

One news item is on a new stem cell method developed by a Japanese research team (and at the same time independently by a US research team).
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/21/science/21stem.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Another is on higher appreciation of Japanese cooking skills.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7103255.stm

Indeed, Japanese are contributing to betterment of the world and human society even with humble planned patent applications of specific patterns.

Truly, terrorists, the Mafia, and loan sharks should not be allowed to apply their ideas to the patent and trademark office unless they repent enough and fully.



(So, good girls, you can consult me for any business idea on your profession if not unclean.

Remember even a pattern of arrangement of hand-rolled sushi in a package sold at a supermarket in Japan can enhance appealing power and even taste of the food psychologically.

Anyway, my quest for holy patterns will continue...)




"The Parable of the Ten Girls"


(Das Gleichnis von den Brautjungfern)

Philanthropy or God's Mercy

Philanthropy or God's Mercy
(Philanthropie ou la miséricorde de Dieu)


It is not only Mr. Benjamin Fulford that has a deep and strong interest in the super-rich people in the U.S., such as Mr. David Rockefeller, because they are believed to carry covertly or conspicuously their weight around Japan to exploit Japan's wealth and security.
http://www.rense.com/general79/benjk.htm

"Hiroshi the Man of Arles" also wrote in his Japanese blog on a philanthropy movement a daughter of Mr. David Rockefeller launched in 2001 within the Synergos Institute she had founded in 1987 as her first nonprofit.　
http://amesei.exblog.jp/

Inevitably, "Hiroshi the Man of Arles" referred to a recent article of BusinessWeek online:
"The GPC is the brainchild of Peggy Dulany, 60, and her father, David Rockefeller, a grandson of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller Sr...

She recognized early on that philanthropy was becoming more global. Worldwide giving by the superrich reached $285 billion last year, according to a Merrill Lynch (MER )/Capgemini (CAP ) study...

Today the Circle's members, who pay $25,000 in annual dues, include such U.S. families as the Hewletts, the Gunds, and Ted and Vada Stanley, newcomers to this year's ranking of philanthropists. Overseas members include the Lopez family, one of the wealthiest Filipino business clans; Marcos de Moraes, a newly minted Internet millionaire from Brazil; and the Benjelloun banking family from Morocco..."
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/toc/07_48/B40600748philanthropy.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_top+story

The point at issue is that there are some people who are very skeptical even about such a scheme as Mr. Muhammad Yunus' Nobel-prized Grameen Bank designed to provide "credit to the poorest of the poor in rural Bangladesh without any collateral," since such people think the Nobel Prize itself does not deserve any credit.

They even think that awarding a Nobel Prize to such a scheme is tantamount to awarding a Nobel Prize to a loan shark, since even JP Morgan is going to enter this market called "micro-credit."
* * *

As I am afraid now that some of you may have a chance to get close to super-rich people in whatever context, I have just introduced a bit of this and that surrounding super-rich people.

(One example of Japanese involvement in their domain:
http://www.spf.org/project/2002/s2_04.html )

Accordingly, you may love more God and Jesus Christ provided you are not mesmerized more by gorgeous houses, clothes and foods as well as vast convenience and splendors the super-rich can buy and enjoy until their death before God to whom all the gold and silver in this world belongs.


(My suggestion is for you to contribute to establishing a four or five-star restaurant, authorized in the Michelin Red Guide or whatever, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, or North Korea.

It is because such a simple enterprise might accelerate true solution on the present and possible War on Terror, since super-rich people might learn there how to dine with super-poor people as members of the one and same mankind.

[Nonetheless, I also know at what store or supermarket nearby I can buy the most delicious sushi pack for my taste without going out to Ginza or Aoyama in Tokyo.])

1. Ms. Mizuki Noguchi
Yesterday, the 2004 Olympic Marathon Gold Medalist, Ms. Noguchi, won another marathon race in Tokyo.

Accordingly, she is as a matter of fact qualified for the entry from Japan to the marathon race in 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Just ten minutes before she was running back to the Tokyo National Stadium as the front runner, I got into the stadium to observe her last lap for Beijing.

(Her photos I took yesterday cannot be, however, presented here due to copyright-law provisions.)

She was fast and robust, and her legs were strong, which could not be almost expected anybody who just ran 42km to exhibit in her last lap in the stadium.

If you compete with such a runner in such a condition, you will be severely damaged so long as you cannot compete until the last lap. It was the same kind of devastating strength Ms. Naoko Takahashi once exhibited.

Indeed, the best Japanese sportsmen or women may be very spiritual, since they are sons and daughters of the spiritual race Japanese.


2. Mr. Junichiro Kizumi
In this summer, a big bridge over the Mississippi River suddenly collapsed, giving a great warning to the US people.

Then, in September, a mighty bridge under construction jointly by Japanese constructors and local companies between the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam collapsed.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-09-26-vietnam-bridge_N.htm?csp=34
"...a collapsed bridge in southern Vinh Long province, Vietnam on Wednesday. The bridge under construction collapsed Wednesday, killing at least 52 workers and leaving dozens more missing or injured..."

But, recently, the former Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Junichiro Koizumi visited Vietnam, though it is not clear if he visited the site of the collapsed bridge to show a sense of responsibility on the Japanese side to the tragedy.

Yet, according to a TV report broadcast last night, he checked and entered one of thousands of tunnels once used in the Vietnam War to praise the Vietnamese, saying, "Indeed, people of Vietnam have admirably good patience."

Mr. Junichiro Koizumi is still very popular among Japanese, though there will be no chances for him to be put back at the center stage of Japanese politics.

His bridge to come back to the Prime Minister Office seems to be also cut off.


3. Bangladesh
The BBC news program broadcast in Japan on an NHK's satellite TV channel today reported that a powerful cyclone has killed probably 10,000 people in Bangladesh.

The BBC on the Internet also wrote: "Another storm in 1991 left some 143,000 dead."

However, in 2006, Mr. Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize for their providing "credit to the poorest of the poor in rural Bangladesh without any collateral."
http://www.grameen-info.org/

This time, taking also into account the effect of global warming on the Himalaya Mountains and the Ganges River, macro and large-scale credits should be offered by rich countries to the people of Bangladesh.


4. Wintry Winds
Yesterday, cold wintry winds blew in Tokyo and other northern regions in Japan.

Even in Kagoshima Pref., the most southern prefecture of the most southern island among the four major islands of the Mainland Japan, the temperature this morning fell to 6 degrees Celsius or 43 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now, all over Japan is no more sub-tropical, though in a certain documentary film a British media company once made on the nature of Japan they said that except Hokkaido in winter Japan is sub-tropical.
* * *

Indeed, in Tokyo, Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dacca, they use a different writing system each.

From Moscow to Madrid, basically your knowledge about the alphabetical system helps you learn foreign languages; but in Asia, even Chinese should learn different systems and sounds when learning Japanese, though China and Japan share thousands or more of Kanji letters.

In whole Europe and its extension regions, you may feel no inconvenience with one religion, Christianity.

But, in Asia, the God knows the versatile and complicated situations from Mt. Ararat to Mt. Fuji through Himalayas well and thus has not forced Asians to adopt one religion whether it is Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.

For people in Europe, the Middle East, and annexed regions thereon, there will be no more prophets and religions to be endowed by the God or Allah. But, such a speculation or belief has nothing to do with other regions in Asia or especially in East Asia.

Israelites, Christians, and Muslims must be wiser and get humbler to see this deep care and consideration the God or Allah has offered and extended to South and East Asian people.

And, remember it was Ms. Mizuki Noguchi that won the Gold Medal in 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, though it was Ms. Naoko Takahashi that had won the Gold Medal in 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, since life resembles a marathon race.


(That is why I am telling you that the Messiah will surely come to Japan treading on all the lands from Jerusalem to Tokyo.

As it was cold last night, my fresh French wine with a blueberry juice was timely enjoyed.

It was a little rich and somehow deep with a difficult combination of sweetness and acidity without acute appealing in its taste, which however never irritates me at all.)

Deu 11:22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

Deu 11:23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

Deu 11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

An Old Story of the "Ainu" People

(Tokyo Imperial Palace side on a holiday night)



An Old Story of the "Ainu" People
(Une vieille histoire de la "aïnou" peuple)



Once there lived a poor husband and wife.

As they were so poor that the husband put on shorter clothes and the wife wore only a little longer clothes than the husband's.

They were members of the honorable Ainu tribe, indigenous people traditionally and mostly living in Hokkaido Island, the most northern Island of Japan.

The Ainu people were and may be still different from other Japanese living in the south in that they have not adopted the rice culture based on which the traditional and mainstream Japanese civilization was established, since rice cropping had been introduced into the southern Japanese islands 3500 years ago, namely an era between Abraham and Moses.

The wife worked in a field to grow vegetables but could get only poor harvests. The husband went on a hunt but could get only poor games.

So, one day the wife went out to a wild field to pick wild herbs in vain; yet she happened to find two crows chatting on a tree. She could understand their words and grasp the meaning, since she had special ability unique to the Ainu people.

A crow from a coast area asked another crow from a mountain area, "How about people in the mountains?"

Another crow said, "As the wife of the village head dug out and taken all the roots of lilies to make them her own foods, the God of Fields could not enjoy His favorite food, roots of lilies. So, the God of Fields in His anger brought harm on the village. People now cannot get any harvests and games. They should apologize to the God of Fields by offering 'Inaw' to Him."
( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A4%E3%83%8A%E3%82%A6 )

Having heard this conversation, the poor wife went back home to tell her surprise to her husband.

So, they went out to the village in the mountain but found that the head of the village was sick and ill due to the sacred harm.

The husband said to his wife, "As you put on better clothes than mine, you should tell the village head what you heard from the crows."

So, the wife entered the house of the village head to tell the secret of the disaster that recently covered the whole region.

The village head understood the situation and ordered his men to make 'Inaw' to offer to the God of Fields; the wife of village head also repent and prayed to the God of Fields.

Then, soon after, the village head got well and people got abundant harvests in fields and many games in hunt again.

So, the village head provided the poor couple with many valuable things useful to make their life easy and well-off.

Indeed, the pious Ainu people could once understand conversations of animals.

Truly, they were living in reverence for, harmony with, and awe of various Gods who had been governing the nature even before the mainstream Japanese occupied Hokkaido Island, the most northern Island of Japan.


(Note: Inau or Inaw is an Ainu term for a ritual wood shaving stick...

Now, Japanese are busy buying or enjoying "beaujolais nouveau," fresh French wine.
( http://www.printemps-ginza.co.jp/style/french/index.html)

I also got one with a blueberry juice in the bottle of new wine, though it is not a root of a lily.


(I may check it, say, on this Sunday night, since I am yet a busy man.

And, the night is still bottomless for blasphemous acts of ungrateful villains here and there, since once just roots of lilies, if not ginkgo nuts, became a sacred issue.)

Universities or Holy Education?
(Les universités ou les saintes éducation)


1. Living Fossils - Ichou
The ginkgo tree or the maidenhair tree "is the only extant species within this group. It is one of the best known examples of a living fossil."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginkgo

The tree is also very common in Japan where it is called "Ichou" as my pictures taken around the Yuraku-chou Station and presented yesterday and today show.

The largest gingko tree in the world is reportedly in Aomori Prefecture, the most northern prefecture of the Honsyu Island, Japan.
http://web01.joetsu.ne.jp/~stein/kitakanegasawa-ichou.htm

The tree is 40m (130 feet) tall and 1,000 years old. As it is so large, it looks like forming one small forest with so many aerial roots from its trunk to the ground yet to touch the surface.

Anyway, we can see the origin of crude oil when standing on a street with gingko trees used as boulevard trees.


2. Global University Ranking
You may still think that the Vatican is the largest benefactor to the present academic communities in Europe and America.

Yer, the annual publication of university rankings around the world has been published by The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).
http://blog.beerkens.info/index.php/thes-qs-world-university-rankings-2007-top-100-universities/

With Canada and Australia, Anglo-Saxondom universities account for 90% (18/20).

The other two belong to the Japanese Civilization and the Chinese Civilization, respectively.

You must now think about why the War on Terror cannot be solved by the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and Canada.

With so many excellent universities, can't they properly and effectively handle the War on Terror?

Then, those universities are not excellent at all.

Otherwise, they are so smart and clever as measured with a wrong scale.

A symbol of University of Tokyo is a leaf of Ichou or the Ginkgo tree; yet it is interesting to find an Australian university being ranked higher.


3. AUSTRALIAN National University
There is an interesting blog operated by the Australian National University.
http://china-japan-reconciliation.blogspot.com/

It is dedicated for "Reconciliation between China and Japan."

Its recent issue is the passage of H. Res. 121, the US House of Representatives Comfort Women resolution.

There are many arguments by participants and contributors to the blog on the issue related to crimes on women conducted by the Military of the Empire of Japan in several years before 1945.

But they seem to lack ability to think about why such a tragedy occurred in a limited time period of the history, which tells it is a very exceptional age for Japan.

I don't know how many Asian women, including contemporary Iraqi and Afghan women, were killed by Western colonial rulers, their soldiers, the Chinese Communist Party and their soldiers (in the Chinese Civil War, the Korean War, and its other acts of invasion of neighbor regions, maybe including Tibet and Islamic regions), as well as US soldiers (in the Korean/Vietnam Wars and the Gulf War) in addition to the China-associated Pol Pot Faction in Cambodia who killed at least one million people.

Poor Asian and Muslim women today are afraid more of European soldiers, Americans soldiers, and China-associated violent movement or exploitation than of the Military of the Empire of Japan that ceased to exist in 1945.

In the name of "Reconciliation between China and Japan," I am afraid that they may be fostering or infusing a very wrong view and idea on the world and history, if they have no respect to Japan that has made wars overseas only totally in a few decades in its 2000 years history.


4. My View on Higher Education
The following is my ranking of institutions and instruments of higher education.

Rank......Name
1.............Life itself functioning as a university
2.............A Whole Society functioning as a university
3.............Slum Environment functioning as a university
4.............Poverty Area functioning as a university
5.............War-Torn Region functioning as a university
6.............Natural Disaster Area functioning as a university
7.............Holy Books of Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
* * *

Jesus Christ used very simple parables like the one about seeds of mustard. Based on it European philosophy was developed and American technology was deployed.

Yet, they could neither fully and piously explain the truth in the parable nor create any seed from simple atoms and molecules, though the Vatican cannot do, either.

That is why I am telling you to believe the EEE Reporter, since political plots are being defeated in Japan and the Mafia economy is being lost in the U.S.


(There are no universities in Kingdom of God, anyway, since Jesus Christ had never studied abroad in Rome or Alexandria.

Indeed, I recommend you to forget about everything you have ever learnt without faith in school.

Truly, otherwise, you just graduate from Tokyo University to be a TV personality, then a national lawmaker, and eventually a servant of devils.)




(WHO IS THE GREATEST?)


"Anweisungen fur die Gemeinde"

The Vatican

(around Yuraku-chou Sta. --- near Tokyo Sta. and the Imperial Palace)


The Vatican
(Le Vatican)


When the former Pope died, total 1,400 then incumbent presidents, prime ministers, kings, and other top dignitaries from all over the world, such as President Mr. George W. Bush and then Iran President Mr. Mohammad Khatami, gathered in the Vatican.

From Japan, then former Foreign Minister Ms. Yoriko Kawaguchi was dispatched, though some parties concerned with the Vatican had expected then Prime Minister Mr. Junichiro Koizumi to attend the Pope's funeral.

But, many Japanese, including me, were watching the proceeding of the funeral honors being broadcast live from Rome.

I saw a holy book put on the coffin somehow being fanned by the wind, maybe the holy wind an Angel who came to observe the proceeding just caused for pious viewers all over the world while I was also so intently observing it.
* * *

This October, a new book on the Vatican was published.
http://www.iwanami.co.jp/hensyu/sin/sin_kkn/kkn0710/sin_k380.html

The author, Ms. Fusako Go, introduced a result of an opinion poll an Italian newspaper conducted this May on agencies or systems most trusted by Italian people.

Agency/System Trusted..................Support Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Police/Special Force (Carabinieri)............. 84%
2. President...................................................72%
3. Catholic Church........................................65%
4. EU..............................................................57%
5. Judiciary....................................................53%
6. Labor Union...............................................43%
7. National TV (RAI)......................................38%
8. Commercial TV (Mediaset).........................37%
9. Prime Minister...........................................33%
10. Federation of Businesses........................31%
11. Parliament................................................30%
12. Banks........................................................22%

[Please set the small character size in Viewing the above table.]
* * *

Also, Italians who pray once or more per week to God account for 80% of all the citizens.

Especially, those who regularly go to mass account for 70% of Italians in an age group between 18 and 24 years, and 61% of Italians between 25 and 34 years.

But elderly people less go to mass: 53% of Italians between 55 and 64 years, and 51% of Italians of 65 years or older.
* * *

She wrote that even in Rome there is a strong concern to terror, which might be a reason for the higher rating of Italian police/special force (Carabinieri).

We may also judge that it is still the Catholic Church that unites Europeans rather than EU.

The low ratings of the two major media companies, RAI and Mediaset, are also alarming.

Overall, I can sense the remained influence of the Roman Empire in the higher ratings to President and police/special force (Carabinieri) in addition to strong reverence to Jesus Christ though He was not the direct founder of the Catholic Church.
* * *

Jesus Christ never used any worldly title. He never put on any clothes better than those other poor followers wore. He did not forbid marriage to His followers. 　He did not receive any imperial funeral ceremony. But, Jesus Christ apparently requested the most pious interpretation of His words and the Bible.

Italians, especially young Italians, should reform their churches.

The Vatican should stop using a lay figure of Jesus Christ, horribly half-naked, on a cross in their rituals.
* * *

When nobody wants to be a Pope due to the fear in God, I suppose the world will be getting better.

The Mafia will vanish away.

The wine will taste better.


(Jesus Christ is said to be a Son of God. It is not a worldly matter. It is what I want to emphasize.

So, I may be advancing to a non-worldly sphere where nothing in this world, including the Vatican, matters, since it must be closer to Kingdom of God.

Don't you feel intimacy with it?)




"JESUS FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND MEN"

(Jesus gibt funftausend Menschen zu essen)

Design of the Earth, Products, Formal Clothes, and Buildings

(near Yuraku-cho Sta., Tokyo City Core)


Design of the Earth, Products, Formal Clothes, and Buildings
(La conception de la Terre, des produits, des vêtements formels, et les bâtiments)


1. The Earth Observed from the Moon
At last we have got the photo-pictures of the earth over the horizon of the moon.
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071113_kaguya_e.html

To my disappointment, the Western media seem to be neglecting them. However, they are very symbolic pictures which have superseded the famous one also having been taken by US astronauts from an orbit around the moon in 1969.　
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Apollo_10_earthrise.jpg

When the Apollo picture was released in 1969, US soldiers were fighting in Vietnam, and students were demonstrating on streets of Washington D.C., Tokyo, and Paris. It looked like people got a kind of revelation in 1969.

Then, President Nixon visited China; US troops withdrew from Vietnam; and the cold war shifted from a direct threat of the US-USSR all-out thermal nucleus war to localized intermediate-range nucleus missile competition in Europe and the Soviet Union.

Now, the pictures of the earth over the horizon of the moon the Japanese space agency has taken with a high-resolution camera can change minds of people, especially young people.

You should tell your friends that this time Japan has presented the earth over the horizon of the moon to give inspiration to peace loving people all over the world.


2. 100 Japanese Designs
The Committee "Japanesque Modern" made public 100 excellent designs Japanese companies have adopted to their products, including AQUAS LCD TV of Sharp Corp. and PRIUS of Toyota.
http://www.japanesque-modern.org/english/topics/index.html

Traditionally, Japanese products are featured by its inclination for simplicity and affinity to gentle nature and a benign mode of people's life.

Nonetheless, Japanese consumers also love European designs, including French bags, Italian bags, and Spanish bags, since they are targeted at a wealthy class.

But, industrial design rights should be protected globally to secure fair trade and fair competition in market.

Chinese manufacturers should learn design through various foreign examples but should not infringe design rights of others.

(China has so far given damages to Japan estimated to total about 80 billion US dollars due to their violations on Japan's industrial design rights and patents, which could be regarded as another Japan's war compensation to China for the Japan-China war before 1945 if Japan does not request these intellectual-property-right damages to China in future, in my personal view.)


3. North Korea
According to a Fuji TV news program broadcast last night, the elderly son of Mr. Kim Jong-il, the absolute leader of North Korean, is now in Paris.

He was spoken to on a street by a reporter in French as to why he could speak French well; he replied in French, "You know I learnt in a school in Europe."

Now, the U.S. is going to fully lift sanctions against North Korea while EU is going to deal with the Stalinist nation so as to buy mineral resources abundant in the country, since China has already obtained various rights to develop the mining industry in North Korea.

The nucleus bomb experiment North Korea dared carry out last year must have been rather directed to China as brinkmanship diplomacy, since there was and still is a possibility that China might venture into a virtual economic colonization of North Korea for its abundant mineral resources.

As long as North Korea serves China as a military front line to protect China from the U.S. military invasion, China would let North Korean leaders govern their country at their will and for their own profits.

(Officially the Korean War is yet to be concluded by North Korean and the UN troops consisting of those sent by the U.S., South Korea, etc.)

And, the clothes Mr. Kim Jong-il, the absolute leader of North Korean, always puts on tells what his governance is.

As a nominal democratic leader of laborers, Mr. Kim Jong-il has to always wear a workman's suit, the design of which is so monotonous, since a worker in a factory should suppress his or her personality in order to promote his or her work for production.

When Mr. Kim Jong-il changes his clothes to ones with pious design in public appearance, Japanese families of those who were abducted by an intelligence agency of North Korea for convenience of their activities might find a chance to take back their parents, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles someday soon.


4. Popular Political Motto "Live Together"
It seems to be a long time ago; but it was just half a year ago that the election for Tokyo Governor was conducted.

The candidate who attracted the most of public attentions was the late Mr. Noriaki (Kisho) Kurokawa, a notable Japanese architect, though he could not win the election.

His motto was a Buddhist term "Kyou-sei (living together)."

When he was a teenager, he went to a Buddhist school and regularly attended a school meeting where the head of school taught the essence of Buddhism, so that Noriaki Kurokawa learnt the deep thought, such as "Kyou-sei," about society and mankind.

Though Noriaki Kurokawa died recently and suddenly of a disease, the same term has been adopted by Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda.

Interestingly, the same motto, "Kyou-sei," has been used by the head of the Oppositions Mr. Ichiro Ozawa in these decades.

Noriaki Kurokawa's design for buildings was probably aimed at letting people and the nature more live together.

I hope that politicians will learn through his design what God let Noriaki Kurokawa inform Tokyo citizens, the Japanese, and the global citizens of, while risking his life, eventually.
* * *

The God is also a genius to design a contemporary arrangement of continents on the earth.

Significance of geographical locations of Jerusalem, Rome, and Mecca as well as Japan and the new continents, including the U.S., are beyond human imagination, since without Amazon mankind might be suffering more the irregular weather and the global warming.


(Which design do you like between that of the Eiffel Tower and that of the Tokyo Tower?

It is said that the Tokyo Tower was built using iron and steel extracted from combat vehicles and tanks the US military had used in the Korean War that erupted in 1950.

Despite inferior beauty of design, the Tokyo Tower has survived an uncountable number of earthquakes and typhoons the Eiffel Tower has never known in these 50 years.)





"THE WORKERS IN THE VINEYARD"

(Die Arbeiter im Weinberg)

Mind of a Japanese Beauty

Mind of a Japanese Beauty
(Un esprit d'un japonais beauté)


In today's Sankei Shimbun Newspaper, they reported on a new English version of a traditional style of Japanese "waka" poetry called Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, compiled by Fujiwara-no Teika (1162 - 1241).
http://www.geocities.com/jisei/ogura.html


Mr. Peter McMillan's translation work will be reportedly used by students learning Japanese classical literature in US Columbia University.

The newspaper presented one waka poet produced by Ono-no Komachi (825 - 900), a symbol of a beautiful woman in Japan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ono_no_Komachi

She wrote: "Hana-no Iro-wa Utsurinikeri-na Itazurani, Waga-mi Yo-ni Huru, Nagame-seshi Ma-ni"

(Here, "Hana" is cherry blossoms or woman's beauty; "Utsuri" means transition or change; "Itazurani" means all for nothing; "Waga" means 'my'; "mi" means a body or self; "Yo" means the world or 'very much'; "Huru" means falling or passing; "Nagame" means a long rain or a view; "se-shi" means doing; and "Ma-ni" means 'while.')

Mr. Peter McMillan translated:
"A life in vain:
my looks, talents faded
like these cherry blossoms
paling in the endless rains
that I gaze out upon, alone."

Ono_no_Komachi's poetry uses paronomasia, and thus it becomes a little complicated.

The key expression is "Waga-mi Yo-ni Huru," since it can be interpreted in two ways as "Hana" is cherry blossoms or woman's beauty:
1) Petals of cherry blossoms fell very much on my body like rain.
2) Time has passed on my body or myself living in the world.

But, I want to present the third interpretation, since "Yo-ni Huru" can be read as "Yo(u) Ni (H)uru" which means "very much possibly similar," since "Niru" is to resemble something, and "uru" or its original form "eru" means being possible.

In addition, "Yo-ni Huru" can be read as "Yo(u) Niou" meaning 'very much sweet-smelling.'

Therefore, "Hana-no Iro-wa Utsurinikeri-na Itazurani, Waga-mi Yo-ni Huru, Nagame-seshi Ma-ni" can be read as follows:

"Cherry blossoms, no more the fame,
rained down without an aim
aging me too without a shame
who is left but with their smack."
* * *

Traditionally, the poet Ono_no_Komachi has been regarded as the most beautiful woman in the Japan's history as such fame can last long like a case of Helen (Greece), Cleopatra (Egypt), or Yang Guifei (China).

(The expression "Komachi" is still used to mean a beauty.)

But, with influx of Western culture, the eye for the beauty among Japanese has changed.

For example, in the early Meiji Period, while Japan was busy introducing Western civilization, the most beautiful women in Tokyo then are said, according to one report and its estimate, to have been some daughters of a certain European husband and Japanese wife.
* * *

Indeed, you can tell your friends in US Columbia University that they cannot interpret Japanese works of literature unless they really feel minds and hearts of Japanese beauties.

Truly, I am telling poor but blessed Americans that they cannot interpret situations in Iraq and Afghanistan unless they really feel minds and hearts of Muslims.


(Maybe the best Christmas present in Japan is a cherry tree, promising a sweet spring; or an egg for Easter?)

According to the Financial Times website, there are 600 billionaires in the world.

In 2004, they also selected the 25 they believed to be doing "the most to shape the world."

On the other hand, there were between 300 and 420 million super poor people "worldwide living in chronic poverty in the late 1990s," according to the Chronic Poverty Research Center.

In their definition, "chronic poverty" means "remaining below the poverty line for at least five years, with welfare measured in expenditure or income terms."

In India, there are 450 million extreme poor people and 150 million chronic poor people.

In China, there are 230 million extreme poor people and 55 million chronic poor people.
http://www.chronicpoverty.org/pdfs/45McKay_Baulch.pdf
* * *

In my definition of a billionaire, he or she can offer out-of-pocket one billion dollars without any inconvenience for any cause at any time.

As we have 600 people who can do so, we can get 600 billion dollars available.

It means they can provide 1500 dollars for each chronic poor person (600 billion/400 million).

In other words, as 400 million chronic poor people cannot earn 1500 dollars, those 600 people may be able to stay a billionaire each.

Put simply, if you have 1500 dollars, be content with it, since it is a real state of a billionaire who has repented and gets converted, if any.
* * *

I don't blame 600 billionaires and 25 special billionaires regarded as mostly shaping the world, while Mr. Al Gore and Mr. Michael Moore have been busy making films influencing so many people.

But, as the Christmas season is getting into a view, it is apparent that they have to think about use of their spending money to be a hero of another "A Christmas Carol," respectively.
* * *

Of course, those who are really setting the framework of the world are the political leaders of the U.S., Saudi Arabia, EU, and Japan (or Hong Kong, Thailand, Italy, and Sweden, or otherwise Microsoft and CNN?).

Anyway, you cannot write EEE Reporter with one billion dollars in your pocket, since the amount is not enough to be accumulated in Heaven.

"THE DEMAND FOR A MIRACLE"

(DIE PHARISAR FORDERN EINEN BEWEIS)

Without Jesus, No Respect to God even in the Japanese Media

Without Jesus, No Respect to God even in the Japanese Media

(Sans Jésus, pas de respect de Dieu même dans les médias japonais)

The word, "the only God" or "the Creator," must have been a dead word by now among mankind if Jesus Christ had not appeared 2000 years ago as a direct projection of "the only God" or "the Creator."

Indeed, when Israelites no more believed in the concept of "the only God" or "the Creator" and Romans were only wishing to be another Caesar or Cleopatra, Jesus Christ appeared 2000 years ago as a direct projection of "the only God" or "the Creator."

Truly Jesus Christ said to them that ancient Israelites and Romans, namely spiritual ancestors of current European races and modern Israelites, were so faithless and perverse, which is why Jesus Christ appeared 2000 years ago as a direct projection of "the only God" or "the Creator."

That is why I am telling you to look at the chart below.


(Anyway, as I wrote on Oct. 28 and also the new edition of the Japanese film "San-Choume-no-Yuhi" was released a week ago, you had better review the good old days in Japan almost 50 years ago.

You had better do so, even if you love hamsters or Japanese raccoons like a certain Japanese Media tycoon active behind the recent political drama, or like a gentle housewife and a square corporate employee depicted in its original comic book of the movie drama recently I bought at a convenient store nearby on Oct. 27 or so when a rare late-October typhoon approached the Kanto Plain.

Japan can be forgiven as it has been a backer of China, Korea, Taiwan, and other emerging Asian economies in terms of finance and technology transfer; but the U.S. has been exploiting Latin America, South Asia, and the Middle East, since no strong and substantial economies are emerging while the US has conducted so much military interference in those regions.


3. Dollars, Dollars, and Horror
Mr. Sakai Tanaka is one of unique journalists in Japan not only because he once worked in Japan's Kyodo News Service and then Microsoft Corporation for Microsoft Network.

He studied a discourse upon the world economy: "The legends of Bretton Woods - monetary system - Economic Myths Explained"
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0365/is_n2_v40/ai_18338845/

He argued that the US Republic Party has been acting as an agent for capitalists while the US Democratic Party works as Britain's instruments.
(http://tanakanews.com/071106dollar.htm )

He meant that the primary stance of the U.S. is polycentrism pursued by Republicans; however British stance is UK-US centric joined by Democrats.

In his logic, he extended that the U.S. and the U.K. will try to cheat one another to secure each national interest, in which France will find a chance to extend its global influence without feuding with the U.S., but finally the Bush Administration will promote polycentrism of key currencies in the world market (meaning less value in the dollar) despite UK's wish to bolster the dollar as the sole key currency.

Mr. Sakai Tanaka sometimes failed in his analysis on the global trend, probably due to his insufficient insight into the world history and religions as often observed among Japanese elites, if better than most of their American counterparts, though he is prominent in Japan, for he really looks like a journalist in the Internet Era.

4. Middle-Age Homeless' Blog
A Japanese middle-aged man working part-time and living in a so-called "Internet cafe" has been keeping his blog alive on the Internet.
( http://blog.livedoor.jp/kenjiro45/archives/1281956.html )

The following are part of his personal data:
Cherished mottoes: "You cannot change other person," etc.
Books at hand: "The Bible" and "The Analects of Confucius"
Favorite writers: "Tetsuya Asada," "Henry Slesar," etc.
Favorite movies: "Casablanca," etc.

He recently wrote about the death of a famous professional motorbike racer, Norihumi Abe, in a traffic accident on a public road.

One of viewers of his blog wrote a comment that he remembered, as he read the article, his visit to a death camp in Phnum Penh, Cambodia, where the Pol Pot faction had killed people as part of their million citizen massacre in 1970's after withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam.

The viewer wrote that he had lain down just like a victim in a camp house but could not get higher perception at all while sun rays from slits of a wall had let dusts loom up shining and dancing over him, a young Japanese traveler.
* * *

Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton as the next U.S. President so regarded should not trigger another mighty depression in the world market and the million citizen massacre in the Islamic countries, no matter if she abandons the dollar standard system and the US military's global expansion for securing a mutually complementary relationship between oil and dollars.



(Mrs. Clinton may become the first and last madam President of the U.S., since the people can accept Jesus Christ as their King and introduce a parliamentary cabinet system after possible US Religious Revolution in this century.

But, Japan is already with a parliamentary cabinet system; you have no problems here in Japan.)




"THE PARABLE OF THE THREE SERVANTS"

(DAS GLEICHNIS VOM ANVERTRAUTEN GELD)




　　

The Proprieties and Respect Altogether

The Proprieties and Respect Altogether
(Les propriétés et le respect total)


1. The Most Respectful Manner in Japan
The Grand Shrine of Ise has been the most highly ranked shrine in Japan, since the Goddess of the Sun called "Ama-Terasu-Ou-Mi-Kami" (heaven-illuminating-great-gracious-god) is enshrined there with other highly-regarded gods, for the Goddess is regarded as the direct ancestor of the Imperial Family.

In the shrine, the most respectful manner of greeting to the gods is said to be as follows, though it might be rare to observe it nowadays.
1) Clap your hands four times before your face.
2) Pause just a moment with folded palms.
3) Again, clap your hands four times before your face.
( http://www.chikumashobo.co.jp/product/9784480089427/ )

It is extraordinary, since you are usually expected in a Shinto shrine to perform "bowing two times, clapping your hands two times before your face, and a final bowing all devoutly" to the main inner shrine in the main precincts.

But, exceptionally, in a few prestigious Shinto shrines as authentic as the Grand Shrine of Ise, you are expected to perform clapping of the hand four times in a row.
( http://blog.satonaoaki.main.jp/?eid=313184 )

Indeed, Japanese language is based on quadruple time rhythm. If you foreigners want to speak correct Japanese, you have to master this rhythm.

Otherwise, you cannot fully exercise the most respectful manner of greeting in Japan where in ancient times before introduction of Buddhism people greeted each other by clapping hands before the faith four times or twice.


2. Extraordinary Informality to Great Hero
Mao Tse-tung, the founder of Communist China, respected one Japanese hero when he was young wandering here and there on the Chinese continent in a great chaos since the debacle of the Qing Dynasty.

Mao Tse-tung respected Takamori Saigo, the most popular hero in the Japanese history. Saigo commanded pro-Imperial forces so as to defeat the Tokugawa samurai troops in the late 19th century, which realized the Meiji Restoration and led to full-scale modernization and Westernization in Japan.

One day when Takamori Saigo was still in one of top positions in the Meiji Government, a high-ranking bureaucrat saw Saigo walking toward him on a road in Tokyo.

Takamori Saigo usually neither dressed up nor was accompanied by attendants; but nobody missed him anywhere, since he was the hero who had led pro-Imperial forces to force the Tokugawa clan to surrender without resorting to desperate city fighting within Tokyo.

Though the bureaucrat was walking in Japanese wooden clogs called "Geta," he stopped, took one leg off a clog or a Geta, and put the foot bottom on the instep of another foot still in a clog or a Geta.

He was thus standing and balancing on two legs but both the feet on one Geta, emptying another Geta, though completely taking off both the feet out of Getas and kneeling on the ground might have been the formal way of showing the utmost respect to the Generalissimo in older samurai ages.

Takamori Saigo, the first full general of the Imperial Army of Japan, looked satisfactory but just walked by the bureaucrat who looked deeply delighted in saluting to the great hero Saigo.

As I read this story a long time ago, the details might be a little different. But, the point at issue is that an ex-samurai bureaucrat showed an extraordinary manner of greeting to Takamori Saigo every ex-samurai recognized as his hero whose strength had defeated the Tokugawas that had been holding administrative power of the nation for 250 years as the sole leader of the entire samurai class.

3. Greeting to the Moon
Japan's moon exploration satellite has sent back to the earth pictures of the moon taken from the altitude of 100km (60 miles) above the surface.
http://www.jaxa.jp/index_e.html

The footage followed a path toward the north pole of the moon from the high-latitude area.

This is the first HDTV images taken from an orbit around the moon and the first full-scale exploration since the Apollo Project.

But, do you think that the moon is full of glee, greeting back to mankind?

Is mankind allowed to greet to the moon so nearly while the earth, a parent planet of the moon, has been tainted by greed further degraded toward the Mafia economy and died with blood of victims of wars, terror, and violence?

Anyway, it must be a space vehicle of Japan, less tainted and died among major players on the earth, that should greet the moon as a representative of nations on the planet Earth for the first time since 1972 when Apollo 17 was launched.


4. Greeting to Jesus Christ
You may like to call Him "Messiah," "Christ," or "My God," when you see Him walking toward you.

I may be allowed to call Him "King of Israelites and Romans."

But, it is said that when a very desperate poor man called Him "Son of David" Jesus Christ listened to his urgent wish and convulsive appeal.

In either case, you have to first check His shoes, sandals, or clogs and then His feet before casting an eye at His fingers, looking more valuable to you than King Midas' fingers, to see how powerful their curing force is.

(Yet, don't you, whenever you look up at the moon, feel like it is greeting you with tear-provoking efforts to have an apparent size of 29 to 33 arc-minutes while the sun's is 32 arc-minutes?)

American Homeless People on Statistics

American Homeless People on Statistics

(American sans-abri révélé sur les statistiques)

[Updated on Nov. 28, 2011]

"According to data from 3,900 cities and counties across the country, HUD found that more than 1,500 communities reported a reduction in the number of long-term homeless persons over a one-year period. HUD's analysis indicates there were 155,623 chronically homeless individuals in 2006, down from 175,914 from the year before - an 11.5 percent decrease."

According to USA Today, "Before 2005, HUD did not annually compile such information...
Culhane says the chronically homeless represent only 10% of people who experience homelessness at some time during the year, but they use 50% of emergency-shelter resources. He says 80% are men and nearly half are African-Americans."

To achieve this result, it is said that the US Government or Department of Housing and Urban Development had to build or find 4,000 houses for homeless people.

This news was partly reported in Japan by a Japanese newspaper.

Ideally, if you find a homeless person in your village, town, city, county, sate, or country, you have to report it to a public administrative office with the pertinent jurisdiction.

Then, the whole local governmental organization should function properly to find a place for the homeless person to live in and a job for him to be engaged in.

Then, there will be no homeless persons in any country, including Japan and the U.S. as well as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mankind cannot do this simple thing yet 2500 years after the emergence of Buddha, Confucius, and Moses; 2000 years after the emergence of the Son of God; 1400 years after the endowment of Islam, 800 years after the new enlightenment of Japanese Buddhism; and 100 years after the Expansion of American Christianity.

Rich men all over the world outwardly look different but they share one trait. Understanding how to deal with other people and worldly systems so as to make money is common to them all. At this level of mentality, they look all the same, though they sell their souls to devils in different manners according to their individual conditions.

All the homeless people in the world look the same spiritually. Understanding how people can be cruel in neglecting other people in so much misery as to lose a home and a job is common to them all. At this level of mentality, they look all the same, though they still keep their souls out of the hand of devils in different manners according to their individual conditions.

I feel the great anger of God or Allah. I am requested to convey the warning to mankind. Therefore, I will display the holy historical diagram, first posted on April 11, 2007, again below.

Abraham was a wanderer.
Moses was a fugitive.
Buddha was a loitering ascetic.
Jesus Christ was a homeless preacher.
Ippen, a great Japanese monk, was a traveling prayer.

Indeed, God never lives in a house man built.

Truly, EEE Reporter minds those who do not live in a house man's hands built.



(If you were not born, you must not be now enjoying a life in a house.

That is why I am telling you to obey the God who created you and allowed you to live in a house so far.

The God gives a life and takes it away from anybody at His great will.

In this sense, if you might not mourn over the dead, you should rather mourn over a homeless person being taken a home away from by winners of social competition.

How you concede to this sacred principle may, good girls, decide our future, even personally.)
