(A tree nearby or somewhere around Tokyo, the photo taken by EEE Reporter:Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is a fast growing tree in the conifer family Cupressaceae native to the Sichuan-Hubei region of China.
Metasequoia was first described as a fossil from the Mesozoic Era by Shigeru Miki in 1941, but in 1944 a small stand of an unidentified tree was discovered in China in Modaoxi by Zhan Wang…[Wikipedia])
CONDOLENCES OVER AND OVER AGAIN
PART I: May, 26, 2008

TV presenter Ako Kawada apparently committed suicide Monday by inhaling a lethal amount of toxic carbon monoxide gas, police said.
The 29-year-old freelance presenter's body was found in a car belonging to her talent agency in Tokyo's Minato-ku on Monday morning.

But, the fact is reportedly that she had a very bad personal association with a kind of gangster making business around TV stations in Tokyo.

Actress Sharon Stone, known for her off-the-wall comments, is at it again — this time saying the devastating earthquake in China might have been "karma" for the Communist nation's treatment of Tibet and the Dalai Lama.
During a red-carpet interview at the Cannes Film Festival Thursday, Stone said she'd been torn about what to do for the victims of the earthquake in China, whose staggering death toll has been steadily climbing and could surpass 80,000, because she doesn't agree with the country's policies…
But the "Basic Instinct" actress had a change of heart when she got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation saying the organization wanted to be helpful to the quake victims. Stone was humbled.
"That made me cry," she said. "Sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service, even to people who aren't nice to you. That's a big lesson for me."

You had better blame EEE Reporter than an American actress, since EEE Reporter was waiting for a miracle in those days.
And, the Great Sichuan Earthquake occurred while some blog viewers, looking like looking for wealth but not God, were just holding EEE Reporter and the Holy Angels in derision.

The huge pieces smashed into the penthouse of a nearby building, then tore off a row of balconies and plummeted to the street in a shower of bricks, dust and debris. Two men, both workers, were killed…
The Friday collapse occurred just after 8 a.m. at the site of a tower at 91st Street and First Avenue that is to house Intermediate School 114 and apartments. Witnesses said the boom — the long arm that hoists materials onto the building’s newly laid concrete slabs — snapped off its turntable, the platter-like platform that holds the cab for the operator. Then, witnesses said, the cab and the boom flopped to one side.
They went into free fall, slamming into a corner of the 23-story building across 91st Street at No. 354, shearing off balconies and leaving a trail of pockmarks as they clattered to the street.
"It was like an earthquake,"...

The "91st Street and First Avenue" is really a miracle warning against Americans, including Ms. Sharon Stone.
*******************************************************************************
Last night, or very early this morning at 1:20 a.m. of Saturday in Japan, I started to watch a TV discussion program with participants including politicians and journalists.
This program moderated by Mr. Soichiro Tawara has been hotly supported by politically-minded citizens for decades in Japan, though I have seldom watched it.
(More than a decade ago, in this TV program, I saw Mr. Shintaro Ishihara, incumbent Governor of Tokyo but then a Parliament legislator, taking on a troubled or embarrassed expression while confronting some young politicians of opposite parties.
I thought it was not a place for such a politician as Mr. Shintaro Ishihara who had his own political view and faith, no matter if so classic, since he is a famed author, too.
And, sometime after that, he gave up his seat in the Diet or the Parliament of Japan.)
Very early this morning, they were talking about issues related to politicians and bureaucrats in Japan.
But till I turned off the television about half an hour after, no one reminded other attendees of the late Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry who had committed suicide one year ago before a national election, causing the defeat of the ruling parties and thus the surprising resignation of the then Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe a few months after.
The unlucky minister, having been tenaciously attacked by the opposition parties for a money scandal for several months till his death, was an ex-elite-bureaucrat of the Japanese Government.
What I mean is you had better not neglect even one female announcer’s death, two workers’ deaths, and 80,000 people’s deaths in Tokyo, New York, and China, respectively, in these days, since more pious people are suffering in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Tibet, New Orleans, etc., if they do not trigger a regime change…
Or, will you rather join New Revolutions here and there before your future death, accidental or not?
Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
