Hills Brothers
Hills Brothers
2005.10.22 4:20
Roppongi Hills in Tokyo -where we can find many young internet tycoons, one of them Hiroshi Mikitani, chairperson of Rakuten, recently bought 15.46% of shares of Tokyo Broadcasting System, one of the major 5 TV networks in Japan. This broadcasting company is a parent company of Mariners -one of the professional baseball teams.
Hills brothers- Hiroshi Mikitani -Rakuten and Takafumi Horie -Livedoor, both live in the same supper condominium -Roppongi Hills, they are not only acquired the Internet but try to acquire the media -especially TV companies. Horie's attempts to gaina control over FUJI-SANKEI TV network were failed. But now another IT tycoon is in a bid to gain the TV. By the way Rakuten already have had a proffessional baseball team, and needless to say SoftBank - affiliate of Yahoo! owns the baseball team here in Yahoo! City.
YUSEN -another IT company expressed their wishes to buy Marines. The president of USEN also lives in Roppongi Hills.
Those who rule the Internet have been successfully gaining the control of the trunk of this country.

I sometimes make coffee on my own -I don't have wife to make me coffee, I've got two favorites, one is MJB (founded in 1881) and the other is Hills Bros(1900).
All day long our TV has been airing this news, and that reminds me one of my favorite coffees. Rationings in the US? Unbelievable!
Recent surge by Hills Brothers are about to overcome the established authorities as if it were Original Hills Brothers that put an end to roasting shops and coffee mills.

Back during WWII- it was dangerous to get shipments from Hawaii, due to your people's submarines, and trade with S. America wasn't yet at the present state of affairs. No place else in the United States has the climate for growing coffee, though in the late 1990s it became possible to grow coffee hydroponically. So for the duration of the war, coffee, like so many other items, was rationed.Sometimes I think it would be a good idea to use rationing again today- given the current mess with the middle east, 50% gasoline rationing would be a heck of a good idea, and would encourage the U.S. to become energy independant again.Speaking of which- have there been any good wind power and wave power projects in Japan yet? Here in Oregon, on a recent trip to Condon, I got to visit the Condon Wind Farm- 800 1-megawatt windmills.

I think one wind power plant is located off the coast of Saga prefecture and a wave power plant is located off the coast of Maizuru, Kyoto prefecture. Both are very small and they are not yet really a practical use, I mean still in an experimental stage.
I encountered hundreds of windmills that were generating electricity in the vast field of New Mexico, that landscape was just amazing.

Wave power seems to be an obvious solution for Japan- especially with the new vertical generation 100kw bouys, 500-600 of them could power Tokyo.

Shark Fin Soup
2005.10.20 5:21
Shark fin soup used to be a very expensive cuisine -usually cost at least $50 in a restaurant in Japan. So nobody dares to try tasting it.
In Baguio, the Philipines I got tasted the soup in $5 with my former wife -Philipina, it was already more than ten years ago. After I came back from the Philipines I talked to my friends that we tasted the shark fin soup in $5 in the Philipines, but nodody here didn't seem to believe what I told.
Now many years have passed. We can avail ourselves of the soup in the form of canned food only in $1 per each person.
What actually the price means!

I found doki_doki, and Real World Stuff in my fans list- thank you very much for befriending me. Real World Stuff - I noticed your entry few days ago but I was just unable to find where I should say my gratitude.
You see I am foreign to many people here so basically I am alienated, it might be just a word play though. So that would be one of main reasons I feel really secured when I found the new names in my fan's list. Fans are most valuable assets in my life, thanks.

No Pain, No Gain

Three weeks have already passed since I quit my second job. I think I have already restored my health and have been ready to start another job soon. I intend to find a job by the end of this month.
I will return to a hard worker, but at the same time I want to make use of the time well.
No pain, no gain. I am spending all the time in reading and analysing many issues relating to politics, economics, new technology, especially I knew nothing about information technology but now I'm quickly learning. But most of all what I need is experiencing in a real work. There will be another pain, but there will sure be another gain.

If we won the game last night, we were sure to watch many people went dive to the Naka River, that's similar to River Liffey in Dublin, that goes through the centre of the city, small stream. We usually have about 100 plus stupid guys and girls who dive into the river from Fukuhakudeaibashi Bridge. Imagine just hundreds people jump from Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. Some are with clothing and others are naked. In this late autumn they who dived are subject to being caught a cold. We didn't win. No people dived. This is the happiest thing in this unpleasant result.

The first snow of each Winter is greeted by the sophomores of Princeton university with the Nude Olympics. This consists of a nude footrace through town (footwear and headwear allowed) plus a few other events involving slipping and sliding in snow to whihc I have not personally been privy.

In the limited place at the special occasions, naked sliding on the snow or diving into the river would be allowed, here in my town a few among a hundred undressed and dived into the river but we hadn't heard any of them were arrested.
Probably it would be a tradition from the ancient world that people undressed dance and sing when they celebrate something.

Nice to meet you, I'm afraid you don't have to disagree with my comments. People who start the war usually do not believe their war is aggression, they think they are just simply defending their country from outsiders. Both Afgan &Iraqi wars were held far from main land US but many Americans as well as American soldiers are supposed to have thought their wars were for defending their country from terrorists' threat. So I guess all soldiers deployed outside US soil believe that they are defending US with pride & dignity.
As to hero. Hero in traditional sense refers to a man who led his country to victory. Usually 'a man' refers to military commander like Admiral Nelson, General McArthor or political leader like Winston Churchill, President Trumann. Of course there are thousands 'heroes without their names' so you are right, true heroes are tens of citizens who sacrificed their lives for the sake of others.
Almost all wars were held under the name of self-defence, if they were lost all wars turn to be aggression that suffered happiness of millions of people.

Military exists to fight, be deployed, if they kept on excercising they would not be respected. For them, human life is the second thing. The first thing is pride and dignity, and even if they cost their lives, their family and relatives would be rewarded. For them President Bush keeps on being their heroes forever. These are similar to the spirit of samurai.

I bought the short wave radio -Skysensor 5800 made by Sony for the first time at age 13. At that time I greatly enjoyed listening to the broadcasting from overseas. I started listning to FEN at age 21, and I started listning to BBC at age 27. I changed the short wave radio three times and all were made by Sony. Now I sometimes listen to the radio through the Internet. Radioes are no more needed. Times have passed.

I am the perfect person that can tell. Flat-screen is very expensive, and I don't buy the flat-screen next time. There are two corners in any premises, in which large section was shared in flat-screen while other sections were all occupied by many small CRT versions.
I would say it will take more than 5 years for flat to occupy the whole share of CRT.

Some call them 'junk' but actually they have been waiting to be replaced in case of gene defects in a position elite DNA has been occupied. When they are replaced, we call it a moment of evolution--

We only knew humans who lived near one millennium in Genesis, and after four hundred years from the last description of Genesis, human life came to be such as that of current humans.
Something terrible related to making human life span short in these four hundred years occurred.
Another perspective. The expansion of human life span doesn't help population problem. Or make worse. We have to solve this population problem - how to nourish this large population first.--

Few years ago new type pneumonia SARS -sever acute respiratery syndrom was found among Chinese in China sporadically and later cases of bird flu started to be reported among south east Asia. At that time we hadn't decided whether two incidents were related each other.
Since then here in Japan, cases of bird flu were reported occasionally in different parts of Japan, all infected chickens were terminated and still we haven't found the patients of new type pneumonia. We are still arguing whether bird flu is transmissable to humans.
This news was new to me. If it were true, bird flu is in general transmissable to humans. That could kill this large population. In Asia public hygiene remains to be higher priority.--

We might as well say that the existence of gravity itself is a riddle. Under the influence of different gravity, time line varies each other. -In the moon and the Earth, the timeline varies 'relatively' each other, that's what theory of general relativism tells us.
These assessments were made in 3 dimensions -where we see and certified under the theorem of general relativism, so this theory seems valid to explaining 'why gravity is so weak?'
But if we all were put under the influence of 4 dimensions -existing 3 plus time, are we able to assess the same conclusion as we did in 3 dimensions? The answer is probably 'no'. Since our wisdom is limited in the 3 dimensions, in 4 dimensions there would be probably other theorems valid and applied to the ones who are in 4 dimensions.
It is already taken for granted that the gravity indicates the difference in different dimensions since Einstein. But it is just the result of theoretical consistency from the perspectives of 3 dimensions. The rest of the assessment from more than 3 dimensions belongs to still unknown realm.--

The weakness of gravity would be explicable from extra-dimension hypothesis, but unfortunately this hypothesis cannot explain why gravity is so weak.
This human assessment was made in this dimension, if it were made in extra-dimension, the result would be definetely different from what we did in our dimension.--

A Tale of Three Kings (Politics)By mercedo Sun Oct 23rd, 2005 at 02:05:51 PM EST
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
Back in 589BC, Kingdom Juda was a tribute of Babylon, King Zedekiah came to be king, he was set as a figurehead of Kingdom Juda and thought to act according to the will of King Nebchadnezzar, all other kings were thought to be against the will of Nebchadnezzar and kicked out by King Nebchadnezzar.
Kingdom Juda under Babylonian rule enjoyed some prosperity in certain degree though it was a tribute of Babylon. Canaan(what is now Palestina) were thought to be important land geographically - knots of three continent, Nebchadnezzar had to help Kingdom Juda in order to defend his territory from the strong power in the east -Egypt.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. King Zedekiah was fulfiled, fulfiled enough to think about the possibility of seeking for independence from the rule of Babylon, then he allied with Egypy and made a rebellion against the rule of Babylon. Historically speaking, in the age of Moses, once he tried to seek for a financial help from Egypt, and King Solomon took his wife from a daughter of King of Egypt. According to Bible, Jewish people used to live in Canaan before they went to Egypt and after they spent several hundred years in Egypt, after the Exodus led by Moses Jewish people started settling down again in Canaan.
King Nebchadnezzar got furious. He gathered all his troops possible and attacked Jerusalem. Jerusalem fell. King Zedekiah captured. King Nebchadnezzar captured not only him but also lots of Zedekiah's country men, craftmen, educated people then took all of them to Babylonia, that is so called Babylonian Captivity. Jewish people had to spend many years till king cyrus conquered Babylonia and allowed Jewish people to return to their homeland.
King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.
It depends on individuals how to interpret history, but one thing is certain. -History repeats -changing the roles .

The common spelling and pronounciation for the king's name is Nebuchadnezzar.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. What? How about some spelling here. Maybe using English? This would work much better as "Then King Nebchadnezzar helped the Kingdom of Juda greatly, both financially and militarily."
You should capitalize "king cyrus" in paragraph 5.
Is this supposed to be a really nice way of saying we call all live together, Muslim and Dhimmi, if we can all just agree that the Muslim way is right? And pay for the privilege of being allowed to live as their serfs?[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

don't but a - hyphen in front of it.

A Tale of Three Kings (Politics)By mercedo Sun Oct 23rd, 2005 at 02:05:51 PM EST
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
The name of three kings are King Zedekiah the king of Juda, King Nebchadnezzar the king of Babylon, King Cyrus the king of Persia.
Back in 589BC, Kingdom Juda was a tribute of Babylon, King Zedekiah came to be king, he was set as a figurehead of Kingdom Juda and thought to act according to the will of King Nebchadnezzar, all other kings were thought to be against the will of Nebchadnezzar and kicked out by King Nebchadnezzar.
Kingdom Juda under Babylonian rule enjoyed some prosperity in certain degree though it was a tribute of Babylon. Canaan(what is now Palestina) were thought to be important land geographically - knots of three continent, Nebchadnezzar had to help Kingdom Juda in order to defend his territory from the strong power in the east -Egypt.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. King Zedekiah was fulfiled, fulfiled enough to think about the possibility of seeking for independence from the rule of Babylon, then he allied with Egypy and made a rebellion against the rule of Babylon. Historically speaking, in the age of Moses, once he tried to seek for a financial help from Egypt, and King Solomon took his wife from a daughter of King of Egypt. According to Bible, Jewish people used to live in Canaan before they went to Egypt and after they spent several hundred years in Egypt, after the Exodus led by Moses Jewish people started settling down again in Canaan.
King Nebchadnezzar got furious. He gathered all his troops possible and attacked Jerusalem. Jerusalem fell. King Zedekiah captured. King Nebchadnezzar captured not only him but also lots of Zedekiah's country men, craftmen, educated people then took all of them to Babylonia, that is so called Babylonian Captivity. Jewish people had to spend many years till king cyrus conquered Babylonia and allowed Jewish people to return to their homeland.
King Cyrus not only allowed Jewish people to return to Canaan but also allowed them to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, once reknowned by its splender built by King Solomon.
Throughout the reign of Persian rule, Jewish people were treated very good. See The book of Esther, Esther-Jewish was married to Persian King and her caretaker Mordecai and overall Jewish people were treated good. The times at that time was thought to be a pax-Persia, all the people regardless of their national origin, treated fairly.
It depends on individuals how to interpret history, but one thing is certain. -History repeats -changing the roles .

The common spelling and pronounciation for the king's name is Nebuchadnezzar.
Then King Nebchadnezzar helped Kingdom Juda greatly -financialil militaliry. What? How about some spelling here. Maybe using English? This would work much better as "Then King Nebchadnezzar helped the Kingdom of Juda greatly, both financially and militarily."
You should capitalize "king cyrus" in paragraph 5.

It depends on individuals how to interpret history, but one thing is certain. -History repeats -changing the roles .
don't but a - hyphen in front of it. Instead use the italics tag ( word ), or use "quotes", some people like _underscores_ or *asterixes*, try not to overuse bold as it can appear messy."if you are uncool, don't worry, K5 is still the place for you!" -- rusty[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

Editorial: Don't repeat intro in text. (none / 0) (#5) by localroger on Sat Oct 22nd, 2005 at 07:39:48 PM EST(localroger@hotmail.com) http://www.kuro5hin.org/prime-intellect/
Don't repeat intro in text. It's the style here.
Also it's riddled with grammar and spelling errors too numerous to enumerate. In the very first sentence "The name of the three kings are..." should be "The names of the three kings are..." and it only goes downhill from there.
It is also not real clear, after trying to penetrate the grammar, whether this story has a point. So it may not be worth the effort of editing.I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds -- J. Robert Oppenheimer[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

A fool come to be the king. He rules all the territory of the former three kings, and he teaches all the people something called "demo-crazy." He killed all these who do not believe in demo-crazy and make trouble, and only the crazy demos stay. And all people there live happily ever after. And it is called the peace of Bush, or Pax Bux.2Q: What kind of fool are you? A: We are the United Fools![ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]

Was there a point to this, or did you just vomit into the edit queue?Suggestions for improvement:1) Learn English. Your grammer is terrible and your spelling is also.2) Cite something. Your article is op-ed without sources.3) Have a point. If your point is in the last paragraph, it's not well illustrated.[ Reply to This noneHide (0)Discourage (1)Neutral (2)Encourage (3) ]
