Divine Comedy 2007 (XVIII)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - XVIII]

1. Mt. Fuji
This morning, for the first time in this season, the snow has fallen and stayed on the most upper part of Mt. Fuji. This confirmation of the first snow cap of Mt. Fuji is almost five days behind than in usual years.

As an example of Mt. Fuji's picture:

2. French Marrons (marrons français)
Last night NHK introduced a French village which had once economically declined due to lost competition power for a cork market, but have revived again due to abundant chestnut trees around the village near the Mediterranean or Marseilles.

The village owes its present prosperity to a female villager who had once studied geology in a university in a certain city but married and settled in the village, where her parents had a villa, to find that maroons abundant in nearby mountains could be specialty goods for the village.

The NHK showed the Marrons Festival of the village. Indeed, you should not throw away chestnuts if they look so commonplace, since they can be a star article in great demands even from Japan.
(A chestnut is called "Kuri" in Japanese.)

3. Israelites in Damascus
NHK recently broadcast a series of TV programs again tracing the Silk Road. Japan's largest TV station NHK seems to like the Silk Road, since it has produced programs on the Silk Road a few times in these decades.

The most recent one showed the Hejaz Railroad.
http://bungakubu.kokushikan.ac.jp/Chiri/EarthWacht/May2005/RSgazou.htm

But more impressed was that the program introduced a score of Israelite Syrians still living in Damascus and performing their ritual in a synagogue, the only one left now in the capital of Syria.
http://nabataea.net/hejaz1.html

They are descendants of Israelites who were driven out of Spain centuries ago.

They were all old, but while they are alive, solution should be worked out on the relationship between Judaism and Islam.

Israel should admit that Muslims are their relatives.

4. Japan and China
Everybody says that Chin's GDP will soon surpass Japan's, since China's population is ten times larger.

In the U.S., some elites also say that Japan is being defeated by China in terms of economy by showing some charts on future prospects of the global economy.

Truth is that Japan's technologies, various systems, and funds and money have been invested in China in these 30 years in order to boost Chinese economy.

In terms of quality and refinement of products as well as a level of science and engineering, Japan is all the more leading and guiding China in technology and economy.

Even most of Chinese citizens living in big cities would not be reluctant to confess that they would buy Japanese goods if they must get one of high quality, though Japanese products are usually more expensive.

American economists and journalists who cannot understand a huge gap between Japan and China on quality of science, technology, and engineering, in addition to anti-Japan US elites who cannot understand difference between Japanese democracy and Chinese communist social and political systems, seem to be happy saying that Japan is being defeated by China in terms of economy.

Truth is that Japan is not being defeated by China in terms of economy; Japan is all the more leading and guiding China in technology and economy.

Those Americans should learn the true history of Asia, since Chinese youths learning the true world history are getting more and more pro-Japanese.

[Comédie Divin 2007 - XVII]


1. A Japanese Hero
In Myanmar, a notable Japanese photo-journalist was shot to death by one of soldiers suppressing peaceful demonstrators, including Buddhist monks, for democracy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Nagai

His body was transferred to Japan for forensic investigation. His last moment in this world has been so many times televised in Japan: His body being shot jumped forward and landed down on his back on a street while holding his video camera with his right hand being raised up high.

It is indeed "Over My Dead Body" holding a video camera high toward a faraway dream.

His video report on Baghdad is also valuable for American citizens, too:

2. A Living National Treasure
In Paris, a few days ago, a lady officially recognized as a living national treasure of Japan died of a sudden disease.

It is Kirigane Artist Sayoko Eri whose gold works have been highly appraised in Japan and the world.
http://www.heian-bussho.com/eindex.html

As I recently read the book on the history of gold, silver, and copper of Japan, the news is rather prophetic.
http://www.7andy.jp/books/detail?accd=31923389

In the sixth century, Japanese craftsmen had a technique to produce a gold plate with a thickness of 15 micrometers with a width of 300 micrometers which is processed to a gold tube with a diameter of 150 micrometers.

In the early 16th century, the Iwami silver mine in western Japan, recently registered as the World Heritage, was discovered. The silver mine then produced one third of the world silver for a century or so.

In the early Edo period, namely, the 17th century, copper was one of major exported articles from Japan. Brass was also widely used in various products in the Edo period when other smithery techniques were also developed.

Even before Japan opened the door and started to introduce Western Civilization in the late 19th century, the country had enjoyed its own unique but fine material civilization based on gold, silver, and copper its national land produced.


3. An Innovative Technology
Recently Japanese researchers and engineers have developed a new Underwater Acoustic Radar system that can scan and detect underwater objects, such as a sunk ship and a swimming diver, and present them in real-time pictures showing a clear shape of each target.

The effective range of the detection is 300 meters (330 yards). It can show a picture,as if taken by a visual camera, of a fish swimming in water 100 meters far.

This is truly amazing technical innovation, but it now costs 250 million yen, including the acoustic radar and the imaging system.

4. This Weekend
The next Monday is a national holiday in Japan.

Most people will have three consecutive holidays through this Saturday to the next Monday.

If you have three days for any operation, you must focus on one single and specific day.

If you fail in the last day, you cannot compensate it any more. If you take a decisive action on the first day, it may be still premature.

So, you may like to estimate the situation on the first day, take a main action on the second day, and further strengthen or modify it on the third day, so that things will go smooth after this mission period.

What matters is that you should be content to be a hero or a heroine on one day even if you may be able to for all three days.




Teaching of Jesus Christ:
Mar 10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

Mar 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

Mar 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

The Wife of a Priest

Spring to Summer around Tokyo
(Der Frühling zum Sommer um Tokyo)



The Wife of a Priest
(L'épouse d'un prêtre)



A priest is not allowed to marry a beautiful woman.

When young men see that the wife of a priest is beautiful, they will envy the priest and decide to get a beautiful wife each for themselves.

Then, young men will compete in getting a beautiful girl. Young girls will also compete in making themselves look beautiful.

This situation will be inevitably accompanied with or trigger off violence, betrayal, slanders, frauds and plots, various crimes and troubles, damages and injuries physically and psychologically, and apathy to losers.
* * *

If the wife of a priest is not beautiful, young men will not envy the priest consciously or unconsciously.

They will not think it is a shame not to marry a beautiful woman.

American priests conspicuously showing their wives, if truly beautiful or mistakenly thought to be based on each couple's biased aesthetics, are all wrong.

They are actually tempting young people into wrongdoing, since young men will think that they have to be rich and successful to get a beautiful wife, so that they must be tough enough to carry out wrongdoings and get cruel to losers.

This explains most of troubles caused by young men in America.
* * *

In this context, true Catholic clergies and Muslims as well as true Buddhist priests are better than American priests conspicuously showing their wives, if truly beautiful or mistakenly thought to be based on each couple's biased aesthetics, to public.

Unless their wives are less beautiful than yours, you should not go to their churches, since they are doing what Jesus Christ carefully avoided in order not to lead young people to a criminal world.

A priest should marry a woman least attractive in his community so as not to make anybody commit a sin of envy, at least.

(In principle, a Pope's wife should be the least attractive in this world.)
* * *

American priests should learn that everything causing an emotion of jealousy in the minds of others is so sinful and thus is to be rejected in Heaven.

Therefore, having a wonderful wife, a wonderful income, and a wonderful title would lead an American priest, without doubt, to the hell.



(I am not a priest. I am not an American priest, just like Jesus Christ was not. Anyway, remember that Jesus Christ never praised any woman for her beauty.

Yet, if an American priest chooses to fight for this cause, he must show his wife to God or Allah; we will see how he will be praised due to his wife.)


Teaching for October:
Mar 10:1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

Mar 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

Mar 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

Mar 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

Mar 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Mar 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

Mar 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

Mar 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Temperature, Sound, Radar, and God's Eye

Temperature, Sound, Radar, and God's Eye
(La température, bruit, radar, et oeil de Dieu)


Those concerned with global warming should read the article on the Radio Acoustic Sounding System now operated by Japanese scientists in India to measure temperature in the stratosphere.
http://premium.nikkeibp.co.jp/em/column/yamane/10/index.shtml
* * *

At the altitude of 50km (30 miles) above India, temperature has been decreasing since 1998.

At the altitude of 60 to 70km (38 to 44 miles) over the Indian subcontinent, temperature dropped by 0.6 to 0.7 degrees Celsius between 1998 and 2006.

Green house gas is concentrated in the troposphere, the atmosphere between the ground level and the altitude of 10 to 15km. This gas, including CO2, prevents heat generated on the surface of the earth due to energy of the sun light from escaping to the outer space. Therefore, while the temperature in troposphere is increasing, the temperature in the atmosphere above the troposphere (and thus near the outer space) is decreasing.

Conversely, if the temperature in the atmosphere above the troposphere, which is called the stratosphere, is found to be decreasing, it is confirmed that the temperature in the troposphere is increasing.

To measure the temperature in the stratosphere, Japanese scientists use powerful sound waves emitted from an observation base on the ground. While the sound waves are running up through the air, the air on its path vibrates. This vibration follows the sound speed decided by a temperature at each altitude. Accordingly, by measuring the time the sound waves take to reach a certain altitude, we can find a temperature at the altitude.

In order to measure the time the sound waves take to reach a certain altitude, a specific radio monitoring system or a radar system is used. It is because the vibration or the disturbance of the air at a certain altitude can be detected by use of radio waves or a radar.

In this way, we can measure temperature at the altitude from 50 to 70km by use of the Radio Acoustic Sounding System.
* * *

Put simply, a radio wave can be used to measure a temperature at a specific altitude, since a radar using the radio wave can measure the magnitude of disturbance or vibration of the air which indicates a sound speed decided by the temperature at the altitude.

This scientific theory has been well known for a long time; but it is Japanese scientists who have first applied it to practical measurement.
* * *

Consequently, it is conformed that the troposphere, the space between the ground level and the altitude of 10 to 15km, is becoming warmer.

We surely live in the atmospheric environment the temperature of which is increasing.
* * *

My dream is to control the atmospheric environment of the earth. Mankind should be able to control, for instance, movement of the air, creation of clouds, occurrence of rains, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

They just consist of atoms and molecules, or more specifically, water molecules, O2 molecules, CO2 molecules, nitrogen, etc.

If we can target each of them and work on it, we may be able to control a mass of those atoms and molecules which is namely air, a cloud, and rain.

As their features are mostly based on electrons flying around a core of an atom or a molecule, radio waves may be also effective.

So, in principle, we can control air, clouds, and rain through our control of atoms and molecules, though there are virtually an infinite number of them.

Most significantly, I believe that God knows a location and movement of every atom and every molecule at any moment.

It may take 2000 years for mankind to invent a machine to track and record a location and movement of every atom and every molecule in the air at any moment, which is though possible in principle, so that mankind can control all atmospheric phenomena on the earth.
* * *

Now you know at what level our science of today is.

We can measure movement of the air at 40 miles high, but we cannot control it, since we cannot see any atoms and molecules in the air and space.

Indeed, we can measure it; but we can neither control nor create it.

But, God, as the Creator, should be able to see every atom and molecule in the air and thus control them.

If we love God more, He will give us a chance to get such ability as that needed for addressing the global warming.



(Again, we have confirmed the greatness of God and a great contribution from Japanese scientists to the world.

As for global warming, the simplest solution is for you to be poor.

Indeed, you have to be as poor as those who live in sub Saharan Africa.

So, with what are you going to begin?

Indeed, you should not love rich people, for people's desire to be rich is the true source of the global warming.

Truly, you must love the poor.
[Wirklich mußt du die Armen lieben.])

JAXA presented the latest image of the earth observed from its lunar probing satellite now flying on its way to the moon:
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/10/img/20071001_kaguya.jpg

However, on the earth people are consuming oil and spending money for what they are mostly engaged in without fear in God.

We have to check the state of the human world with whatever hope of being pardoned by the Lord God Almighty.

Then and now, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a unique site to present ranking data in various fields:
http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/world/ranking/index.html


1. Who Are Blessed with Oil?

Sates with Larger Oil Production per Day in 2006:
#1.......Saudi Arabia.........11.0 million barrel
#2.......Russia.....................9.55
#3.......USA........................6.83
#4.......Iran........................4.05
#5........Mexico...................3.76
#6........China......................3.63
#7........Canada...................3.05
#8........Venezuela...............3.01
#9.........Norway..................2.97
#10.......UAE.......................2.75
(Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2006)

These data tell everything behind US diplomatic strategies.

It is as if the U.S. and AlQaeda were fighting over decisive influence on the Saudi Arabian Government.

Otherwise, Russia is always a non-nonsense issue for US diplomacy and security.

In addition, Iran can remain a potential target of US military operation.

However, if China pretends to be another Mexico, there will be peace for the time being.


2. Who Help Developing Countries?

Countries Offering More Aid in 2005:
#1...........USA..............27.457 billion dollars
#2...........Japan...........13.101
#3...........UK................10.754
#4...........France..........10.057
#5...........Germany.........9.915
#6...........Holland............5.131
#7...........Italy.................5.053
#8...........Canada.............3.731

Respect Japan as the only Asian nation helping the poor countries as much as the US have done in these decades.


3. Who Import Oil More?

Oil Importing Countries and their Amounts:
#1.........USA.............516 million tons
#2.........Japan..........205
#3.........Korea...........107
#4.........Germany......106
#5.........China.............91
#6.........India..............90
#7.........France...........85
#8.........Italy...............84
(Source: Oil and Gas Journal, 2005)

Apparently, Japan, Korea, Germany, India, and Italy are entitled each to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.


4. Who Learn the Japanese Language?

Countries with More Japanese Learners:
#1..........Korea..................894,131 learners
#2..........China..................387,924
#3..........Australia............381,954
#4..........USA....................140,200
#5..........Taiwan................128,641
#6..........Indonesia.............85,221
#7.........Thailand................54,884
#8..........New Zealand....。....28,317
#9..........Canada.................20,457
#10........Brazil....................19,744
(Source: Japan Foundation, 2003)

I hope that they also learn God and Japan through EEE Reporter.

Conversely, Japanese may visit Korea, China, and Australia if the God allows.

(With what or whom are you blessed, too? With oil, aid, or the Japanese language?

Believe God and be pardoned for using oil, money, or the Japanese language as I do.)

Divine Comedy 2007 (XVI)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - XVI]



1. Electric Heater
As it is cloudy, wet, and cold today, I have started to use an electric heater for the first time this season, though only for a short time. But, a few days ago I was using an electric fan. Indeed, traditionally, October 1st is the day for seasonal change in dressing in Japan.

Now, office workers in Tokyo, including Cabinet ministers, all wear a jacket or a suit coat as well as a tie.

The summer has really gone in most part of Japan; leaves will begin to turn red soon. I have to really purchase a new PC set with less heat dissipation.


2. Death Merchants
New York Times has reportedly reported the top three arms exporters and their sales amounts in 2006 as follows:
#1.....USA............16.9 billion dollars.
#2.....Russia...........8.7 billion dollars
#3.....England........3.1 billion dollars

Japanese companies are forbidden by law to export arms. Japan is an apparently more pious country than the U.S., Russia, and the U.K.

Or do you think that Jesus Christ praises Americans, Russians, and British, while they are the world worst death merchants?


3. Miracle
Islam is a miracle. You have to admit it. There are some reasons for that.
1) It was neither Rome, Jerusalem, Egypt, nor Persia, but the Arabian Peninsula that Islam was given.

2) The above fact produced amazingly a proper balance in the ancient, civilized sphere with Jerusalem at its center. If Islam had not been given in the Arabian Peninsula, the international politics in the sphere must have been drastically different.

3) Islam conquered Persia, which saved and preserved traditions of the Sumerian Civilization in the Arab world.

4) The significance of Islam's emergence in the Arabian Peninsula became clear when Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran were all found to be great oil states. Without Islam in those regions, Europeans should have implanted their version of Christ's teaching called Christianity in the regions and perfectly colonized them to be the owner of all the oil there. In that case, the Arab world could not have kept independence.

Now you must agree that the emergence of Islam is one of the greatest miracles in the human history, almost comparable with the emergence of the Son of Man.


4. Earthquake
Last midnight or very early this morning, a strong tremor (M 4.9) was felt in a mountain region near Tokyo or around the Mt. Fuji.

From October 1st, the Earthquake Early Warning system has started in Japan, though not effectively last midnight. Citizens in Japan are expected to be informed of occurrence of an earthquake that has happened nearby several seconds prior to its main tremor arriving at their homes or work places.
http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/indexe.html

It is said that you can seek nearby refugee, such as under a table, in these precious several seconds or luckily scores of seconds.
* * *

So, these are the things I have minded today. Are you still minding money and law, or drinks or foods, otherwise clothes or a house in addition to pride and grudge?

Have fear in the God or Allah who decided your fate even before your birth in this world.


(Of course, I use an electric heater with fear in God as well as my PCs. Are you using the Internet in the same manner?)
