I had the fifth degree of Aiki-do.
"So what?"
Someone might ask me the above.
Yes. There is no effect of such a degree. In fact, it is useless. To begin with, it was thirty years ago.
Inexpertly, handling basic moves skillfully reminds me well.
-----
The other day, the young lady become the point of falling because of emergency brake in the train, and
I didn't catch the woman's body,
But tried to handle my body, and eventually,
I bowl over the woman.
-----
Thought the lady was surprised at my action, that supervised me very well.
I have remembered handling skillful basic move, whenever anyone rushes at me.
"I lost a chance of romance."
Though It also is possible the above interpretation, it is better to say
"I finally save peace of my family."
I know well that neither "catch a woman's body" nor "bowl over woman's body" are right.
It is clear that which is worse.
Though I am writing my diary about "nationalism" now, I had a little (but very serious for me) mistake yesterday.
I think I have to leave this my mistake in my diary before I forget it.
-----
Yesterday, I gave a message "your new columns has been released just now" from editor company.
Settling a matter of my work, I read the mail after three hours.
After I asked them to modify a part of the title, and I read the column again even I had already done more than 30 times.
When I checked the exponent numbers of a formula, I had doubts about the propriety of the formula.
And I noticed that the exponent numbers between the Japanese energy consumption and the atomic bomb energy were different, though I though it is same.
"Double digits"
-----
I was be in white terror, clung my PC display, and started to check "Energy white paper of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry" and Wikipedia
In a notebook at hand, I scribbled the numerical value and tried division again. Finally I concluded it.
"I made a mistaken calculation at last !!"
I bet the wish that the person in charge didn't leave the office, and send my phone number by email, and I waited to pray for a callback.
As soon as I got the call, I expressed my intention immediately after greetings.
"Please stop showing my column immediately!"
(To be continued)
(Continuation from yesterday)
By the way,
I often find a type of articles of others, and I wonder who writes such articles as follows.
- a talk-show program last night,
- a flames of SNS
The article shows the summary of the above.
The articles seems to be get page views constantly.
But I think that making these articles doesn't need difficult researches, thoughts, and logical thinking.
It is only to describe the results of the observation, in a nutshell, "simple".
"Who can pay for making these articles?"
It is wonder for me.
-----
I could understand the lines at the Web site of the crowd-funding of Yahoo.
There were a lot of job ads of writers who were expected like above.
In addition, the costs were cheap, like the price of set meal of "bean sprouts stir-fried and natto".
-----
Such people are making mass production of the column, and other people are consuming their time with reading the columns.
However, while thinking, I suddenly noticed.
"It is me as both sides."
A TV program introduced a ramen-shop, whose counter has partition boards for each customer.
My wife said "it is like a breeding farm", however, I think this is good way.
I like "eating alone with reading" and I open a book on the counter. Therefore I feel sorry for neighbours.
That means "border issue" on a shop-counter, I feel uneasy not to cause an obstruction, and I don't enjoy eating ramen.
(I think that smart-phone is a good tool for "eating alone with reading" )
-----
To begin with, for ramen, we have to
pick a solid object up from a liquid mass,
which is difficult to eat the solid at a mouthful,
gnaw off the solid on the air, and
drop the fragment solid down to the liquid mass.
Ramen needs special steps, which the other dishes don't need.
Ramen is different from soup and stew, because ramen needs some process of "gnawing" and "dropping".
In addition, the liquid mass includes animal protein and fat.
If the liquid mass attach to clothes, it is difficult to scrub it.
Even so, if the clothes are ours, no problem happens. However if the damage spread other people out, this will be serious problem naturally.
If such troubles make a wonderful dish "Ramen" diminish, I feel very sorry.
-----
In conclusion,
"ramen-shop, whose counter has partition boards for each customer" is,
wonderful system and concept, I believe.
Last night, I was trying rate down of demo video + media conversion - well, in short, "troublesome thing", however I could not be moved well, went home in exhaustion.
When I came home at midnight, I noticed that the second episode of "Steins Gate Zero" was recorded.
I tried to watch it immediately - but I stopped thinking very much.
Because, I think when viewing the "Steins Gate" series,
- First of all, take a bath, drop the body dirty,
- pulling the body with cold water,
- Rinsing mouth with salt water,
- covering myself with white jelly,
- seating in front of the TV,
- paying attention and focusing on one thing
I remembered that I have to comply with my "Steins Gate viewing rule".
-----
By the way, it is almost time for the series of "AI series" to head to the final stage.
I am thinking about sales stuff for the next series,
"Steins Gate Theory"
I thought I would suggest it.
However, at the next moment, I could watch
the smile faces of Mr. T, editor-in - chief, and Mr. M 's editor in charge with saying "Mr. Ebata? Are you serious ?
and
"aura of anger" rising behind it
You will forget the existence of this diary, because it is event of other worlds.
Yesterday, I talked that the anime "PSYCHO-PASS" is a good link to social interests.
However, the original (of course, it is a translated book) is basically difficult and boring.
In my case, when I try to acquire knowledge from books, I don't insist on trying the original and I will read down any number of commentary books and manga.
This is the rule of thumb that I have reached in my previous study of programming languages.
In order to know the a programming language, I try to copy 50 programs within 20 lines. This is the same story as the 80:20 law (Pareto's law).
"If I can understand 20% of the programming language, then 80% of what I want to do with that program can be implemented."
The same is true for "column writing".
At the deadline of the column every month, I do not have time to read the whole original book to cite the literature.
After all, I can not expect to understand 100% of the author's intention with my poor head. At the very least, I can say, "it's much better than sticking with the original book and get frustrated."
That aside
-----
I searched for books related to "society", in "PSYCHO-PASS",
- George Orwell: "1984"
→ I read this completely many times. This is a work as my mental support when researching a video surveillance system (I reject any objection.)
- Jacques Rousseau: "The theory of human inequality"
-> I read textbooks in the high school ethics society
- Philip K. Dick: "Does Android have a dream of electric sheep? "
-> I watched it in the movie "Blade Runner"
- Ortega "Republic of the Mass"
-> Now ordering
- Jonathan Swift: "Gulliver's Travels"
-> When I was in elementary school, I read the originals over and over again. At this time, I felt that I could know the fear of "immortality".
- Unknown author: "New Testament"
-> I have not read it all seriously, but I think that I read it quite often. At least I know the contents to enjoy the movie "Da Vinci Code".
- Marcel Proust: "In Search of Lost Time"
-> Too long. Maybe I will not read in the future.
- Max Weber: "Power and Control"
-> At present, there is no handy manual, so I have no plan to read it.
- Michel Foucault: "The Birth of a Prison"
-> At present, there is no handy manual, so I have no plan to read it.
- Stendhal:"Red and Black"
-> I read it to the end, but I did not understand the meaning, so I didn't have the impression.
It is not a direct quote, but the tone that flows throughout is like this book.
- Frankl: "Night and Fog"
-> I read and read it again and again.
-----
Today, I ordered some books from Amazon and the city-library.
It's a stupid thing to notice at this age,
"I talk too much"
I come to think that again.
-----
Saying that "I can do it" about what I might be able to do it
If I did what I can do it,
Another thing will come by the result.
I've been repeating that.
Repeating that, I finally made my body that I couldn't drink.
There were days when I had a drip, a nutritional supplement, a stabilizer, and a sleeping pill.
This is strange.
There are a lot of people around me who live without breaking my body and holding stabilizers and sleeping pills.
-----
I will say "I cannot do it" about what I might be able to do it
I will not say "I can do it" from myself, even if it is not.
I think from now on, keeping strictly the above rules, I have to live my life.
So even if I meet unfortunate things,
It's better than dying.
I can't hear the theme song for the Tokyo Olympics--
Even for the Olympics held overseas, the theme songs were played at the top of the sports section of NHK news, annoyingly.
This time, I can't hear this.
Also, there is no news about the local towns that host foreign athletes.
There is no news about the entry of the first group of foreign athletes into Japan (although, of course, I'm sure they will need to go through special entry procedures at the immigration office this time).
In the first place, the torch relay is not shown on the news every day -- How can this be?
-----
Of course, I can explain.
It is possible that the government is not actively disclosing this information and the media is refraining from doing so because they do not want to create a situation where people will be attracted by the torch relay.
Even If they are "controlling public opinion to keep the torch relay from gaining momentum," this is a form of information control that would surprise even Goebbels.
Nevertheless, if the decision to cancel the Tokyo Olympics has been made in secret, it would be a major problem in terms of international credibility if the talks have not already started through diplomatic channels.
-----
I am one of those people who have no vested interest in the Tokyo Olympics, so I can remain relatively calm, but the Tokyo Olympics is also a huge social experiment field in which companies and universities are all participating.
However -- nothing is coming into my ears.
Also, is there a gag order on Ebata -- maybe so.
I'm "tight-lipped" but "light on sentences".
Today, I moderated a remote meeting of 80 members.
Japanese are said to be punctual, but that seems to be "only at the start".
"Many Japanese, when asked to give a presentation, usually fail to finish it in time"
They are too unaware of how uninteresting and boring their presentations are to almost everyone else.
I must have warned them at least five times, 'You have six minutes,' but the shortest presentation was eight minutes, and some exceeded 12 minutes.
-----
I, as the moderator of the meeting
(1) Declared skipping of question-and-answer session of a session whose time has expired.
(2) Forced to stop accepting questions one minute before,
(3) Waited for 5 seconds for questions only, then nominated attendees in a person directly
The meeting was forced with a declaration of the adoption of a method called
"The moderator's job is to complete the event on time"
A moderator who cannot control the occasion and time is as good as "not there".
-----
By the way, Ebata's column is described as 'long' in over 90% of the comments -- however, I am not
If you feel painful for "long" sentences, you don't have to read them.
To begin with, what I am writing is a column.
"Column" is a form of literature, the same genre as the novel.
The subjects my columns deal with just happen to be technology, mathematics and statistical results.
Where in the world does anyone complain that "a novel is too long"?
-----
In contrast, no one can "escape" from the organization's meetings.
An uncontrolled, lazy meeting is pretty much hell for the audience.
Therefore, it is no problem to say that a moderator who cannot control the occasion and time is "annoyingly low".
My wife is returning home for a week to care for my mother-in-law.
So, naturally, I am doing the housework that my wife usually does for me.
-----
By the way, when I go on overseas business trips, I also minimize my luggage based on three sets of underwear as my standard of clothing, and only carry-on luggage.
Because I am afraid of lost baggage.
When traveling abroad, washing my underwear is extremely easy.
Plunge my underwear into the bathtub and take a bath together with my underwear.
And then I wash my underwear with soap -- and then I wash my body with my underwear.
If you ask whichi is dirtier, my underwear or me, it is my body, so this is a reasonable win-win.
Then, wring out the underwear and hang them in the bathtub or room to dry. That's all.
After two days of drying, the underwear will be dry.
Hence, three sets of underwear are sufficient.
This is "SDG-style laundry" that can be done in the shortest amount of time without using extra water.
-----
In addition to the above,
- All ingredients that are about to go bad are plunged into the curry and eaten up.
- Freeze food scraps in the freezer and put them out on garbage day.
Various types of expertise, such as above.
These were acquired during six years of student boarding and lodging.
-----
My wife and I have one unspoken rule for anyone (regardless of gender) who wishes to marry our daughter.
The first is "to have a proven track record of establishing a one-person household".
We thought, "we can't give my daughter to a person who is incapable of living independently," but recently I learned a startling fact.
I learned that there was a guy (man) who lived alone for years but could not cook a single meal for himself.
He innocently said, "I don't even know the difference between chicken, pork, and beef meat" -- clearly, that's worse than "mother's boy " or "pedophile".
To be honest, I thought, 'This is a horrible coming out.
------
I have offered several views of my own on the recent rise in the rate of nonmarriage.
However, I keenly felt that the 'lack of life skills' mentioned above was alson one of the major factors.
For the first time in a long time, I was watching YouTube.
As for alcohol, I have talked about it again and again, but if I (Ebata) were to list the disadvantages and advantages, it would be something like this.
■Disadvantages of Ebata's quitting drinking alcohol
- I despair (and still despair) that I will never be able to enjoy alcohol.
- I can only talk about "sake" in my memories.
- I need Sleeping pills and stabilizers on a steady basis.
- I hated drinking even more.
- My consumption of non-alcoholic beer has increased
■Advantages of Ebata's quitting drinking alcohol
- Lost weight.
- Shoulders are no longer stiff.
- I'm able to stand my ground at work.
- My naps are now regular.
- No more warnings from the human health inspectors.
-----
My wife asks me if I can't 'control alcohol' by saying I only drink on weekends or at the end of the year.
However, I am too clumsy to perform such "analog control" well. Therefore, I have no choice but to use digital control.
-----
The WHO may be correct in its assertion that "alcohol is the best of all medicines" is a false theory, and "alcohol is 100% poison" is the true theory.
However, even if alcohol is an addictive drug like morphine, methamphetamine, or narcotics, it is legal if the law allows it.
I don't criticize smokers as long as they don't spread stale air.
In addition, if, on the contrary, alcohol and tobacco have the effect of shortening life expectancy and curbing social security costs, this would even be welcome.
Taxes on alcohol and tobacco are delicious from a state fiscal perspective.
I used to make my alcohol, so I know the cost of alcohol and have a rough understanding of tobacco.
I was pretty shocked when I found out that beer can be made for about the price of tap water +/- (by the way, the statute of limitations has already passed on the contents of this column).
To me, both alcohol and cigarettes seem to be "state-sponsored psychic sales" from the perspective of "continuing to pay taxes while destroying one's own body" -- but still, they are legal.
Here is a story by a tobacco company about the effect of reduced pensions due to the premature death of smokers.
-----
Thanks to the efforts of WHO and various governments, the smoking rate is decreasing year by year.
(I feel it has not decreased as much as I had hoped.)
The government's next target is probably "alcohol".
I am a college student and have never seen a college student smoking on campus (true).
I believe that if the increase in social security costs caused by alcohol becomes quantitatively precise, the government will turn to a "prohibition campaign" with the very survival of the nation at stake.
