“Life Underground” is a permanent public artwork created in 2001 by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the 14th Street - Eighth Avenue station of the NYC Subway. The installation is a series of whimsical miniature bronze sculptures depicting cartoon like characters showing people and animals in various situations, and additional abstract sculptures, which are dispersed throughout the station platforms and passageways. The sculptor said the subject of the work is "the impossibility of understanding life in New York” and describes the arrangement of the individual pieces as being “scattered in little surprises”
Understanding wheels are better than legs in terms of speed, Wheel-dolph wanted to give this a try to match up with Zanta Claws's revolution .

Đây là bài viết có lẻ hay nhất về 9 gái, về 1 trong những con người sâu sắc nhất mà te từng biết 8-|, về con người khiến leader của te phải lo lắng, về con người khiến te tự hỏi nhiều nhất, Tiffany.
-----------------------------------------
Fanyism - Understanding Fany.
Khi mình chứng kiến người khác bashing Nấm, mình biết đó là bởi họ chưa thực sự hiểu hết về con người của Nấm. Họ hoàn toàn hiểu nhầm hết, về sự nhiệt tình của cô ấy, về sự cởi mở, quan tâm, rộng lượng cho sự ích kỉ của mọi người. Thật là mỉa mai và bi kịch. Giá mà họ có thể đi được 10 bước trên đôi giày của Nấm, họ sẽ chẳng biết làm gì ngoài việc ngưỡng mộ cô ấy. Mình đã viết tên cả 9 cô gái của chúng ta, cố hiểu những điều kì diệu và tôi có thể nói ra điều này, rằng Tiffany thực sự là một fan lớn nhất của S9.
Để mình nói một lần nữa nhé.
Không ai có thể tin tưởng vào “power of 9” hơn Nấm.
Hãy nhìn vào con đường mà cô ấy đã lựa chọn. trước tiên cô áy phải tin tưởng vảo chính bản thân mình trước, đó là power of 1. Cô ấy đã dám mạo hiểm một mình đến một nước hoàn toàn xa lạ, và kiên tâm đi theo con đường mình đã chọn. Bạn hãy nghĩ mà xem, khác biệt về ngôn ngữ, phong tục, thức ăn, rồi phải vẫy một que kẹo mút kì quặc, rồi văn hóa trong ứng xử…. Nhưng cô ấy đã vượt qua tất cả, cô ấy đã trèo lên đến đỉnh của một ngọn núi cheo leo, không phải bằng cách dẫm đạp lên người khác, mà là giúp đỡ và giữ chặt lấy họ bên mình. Thực sự, điều này còn hơn cả xuất sắc. Điều gì khiến tính cách cô ấy mạnh mẽ đến vậy, điều gì khiến cô ấy tin tưởng ở bản thân mình? Chính ước mơ của cô ấy cho thấy điều ấy.
Khi họ mới debut, 9 cô gái ấy, có người đã là bạn với nhau vài năm rồi. Nhưng quãng thời gian đào tạo dài cùng nhau, cùng làm việc vì một mục tiêu chung đã khiến một cái gì đó rất quý giá được hình thành. Đó là một hạt giống sẽ nảy mầm trong Soshi. Bằng việc leo lên đỉnh núi với chị em của mình, Tiffany đã mở lòng mình với những người ghét mình. Những người khác phán xét cô ấy bởi cô ấy không hiêu sao lại không là gì trong mắt họ. Vốn tiếng Hàn nói ngập ngừng của cô ấy là một trong những lý do mà họ không chịu chấp nhận Nấm. Một số khác lại không ưa Nấm bởi cô ấy theo đạo. Có thể đấy lại chính là nguồn sức mạnh của cô ấy. Theo mình nghĩ, thì cô ấy hiện thân cho lòng kiên định, lạc quan và hy vọng. Điều ấy tệ quá chăng?
Dù có nói thế, thì Tiffany vẫn là thành viên mà mình lo lắng nhiều nhất. Cô ấy là một cô gái đầy mâu thuẫn. Dũng cảm đến mức khiến người khác phải kinh ngạc, khỏe mạnh và chu đáo, nhưng lại cất giấu trái tim mình. Cô ấy rất trong sáng, không thể giấu được những cảm xúc của mình, những gì khiến mình đau đớn và khiến mình khóc. Nếu cô ấy vui vẻ, thì cô ấy như tỏa nắng. Và khi cô ấy cười, thì cô ấy khiến người khác phải nao lòng.
Không ai khắt khe với Nấm hơn chính bản thân cô ấy. Hãy dừng lại và nghĩ một chút mà xem. Không có một lời châm chọc, tàn nhẫn hay một lời chỉ trích nào có thể khiến công việc của cô ấy khó khăn hơn cô ấy làm. Tiffany chào đón cả kẻ thù của mình mà không hề phòng vệ. Cô ấy sẵn sàng nhận những lời lẽ cay độc nhắm vào mình, cố gắng hiểu và cải thiện, cho dù là Nấm còn đau khổ hơn cả bất cứ ai.
Trong các cuộc phỏng vấn, hầu như lần nào Fany cũng là người trả lời đầu tiên, không phải vì cô ấy muốn được chú ý, mà là cô ấy quan tâm Soshi được thấy như thế nào. Cô ấy không bảo vệ mình, nhưng chắc chắn cô ấy sẽ mạnh mẽ bảo về gia đình của mình, chị em của mình, bảo vệ S9.
Trong Hello Baby, Trái tim mình như vỡ vụn khi thấy Nấm bị em bé cự tuyệt. Với mọi thứ mà cô ấy đã trải qua, bất cứ sự kết nối nào mà Nấm có thể làm còn quý giá hơn cả lòng tự trọng của Nấm. Đây chính là một điểm rất đáng yêu của nấm. Vừa ngã gục nhưng cô ấy có thể đứng dậy ngay tức khắc. Dù có phải đổ máu, thâm tím mìh mẩy, cô ấy cũng không quan tâm. Nếu cô ấy có thể, cô ấy rất kiên cường. Hãy xem lại tập 2, khi lần đầu tiên bị chọn là worst mom, lúc ấy họ đang ở phòng khách. Điều duy nhất mà cô ấy nhìn trong suốt lúc ấy là Kyungsan. Nấm lúc nào cũng nhắc nhở mọi người “cẩm thận! cẩn thận! cẩn thận chứ!”. Cuối cùng thì mọi chuyện cũng sáng tỏ, khi môt người cha một ngày- một người cha thực sự đã chọn cô ấy là best mom, BỞI ANH ẤY ĐÃ XEM TẬP 2.
Bởi Nấm đã mất mát người thân, nên Nấm lúc nào cũng sợ mất thêm người nào nữa, và diều ấy luôn hiện hữu trong tâm trí của cô ấy. Cô ấy nhận thức rõ hơn sự mất mát hơn bất kì ai. Trong Wonderful Outing, khi Seohyun chơi xà đơn, bnaj sẽ nghe thấy Nấm nói: “Jho-shim”- Cẩn thận đấy. Khi 8 gái xuất hiện trong Intimate note, Nấm vắng mặt. Bởi ông của Nấm đã qua đời ở Mĩ. Mình thực sự tự hào về 8 gái, họ vẫn làm tốt chương trình dù những trái tim ấy đang ở bên Tiffany, cách đó cả ngàn dặm. Vâng, cả KJE Chocolate show nữa. Nếu bạn nghĩ Soshi là những sản phẩm được chế tạo, những con búp bê nhựa, thì bạn hãy xem chương trình ấy đi. Đó chính là Soshi của chúng ta, những cảm xúc thật sự đằng sau phong cách làm việc chuyên nghiệp. 9 cô gái trẻ ấy đã phải hy sinh quá nhiều để giúp chúng ta giải trí. Ngay cả đá tảng thì cũng phải rơi lệ.
Trong Chocolate, bạn sẽ thấy 8 gái dẹp sự cô đơn của mình sang một bên, để dành sự quan tâm cho Nấm. Taeyeon rất lo lắng cho Nấm, bởi vì Nấm- người mà bị mọi người ghét vì nghĩ cô ấy ích kỉ, lại không hề chăm sóc cho bản thân mình. Cô ấy không hề chạy trốn bản thân. Cô ấy đã cố tháo bột, bởi cô ấy không thể chịu được không được nhảy cùng chị em của mình, đó chính là Tiffany. Hãy xem lại đoạn phỏng vấn ngay sau solo concert mà xem. Hãy nhìn vào khuôn mặt của Fany. Nó khiến mình thực sự sợ hãi, bởi cô ấy hoàn toàn kiệt sức. Hoàn toàn ủ rũ. Cô ấy đã dành toàn bộ sức lực của mình cho concert. Tiffany không biết điều gì gọi là ít hơn 110% nỗ lực cả. Giọng hát và vũ đạo của nấm không phải là xuất sắc nhất, nhưng không ai có thể chăm chỉ được hơn cô ấy.
Bởi Tiffany đến từ nền văn hóa khác, cô ấy thêm chiều sâu cho mối quan hệ trong nhóm. Hàn quốc là một đất nước có nền văn hóa phân tầng rõ rệt. Để được sự chấp thuận của xã hội, thì mọi người phải theo những nghi thức xã giao chuẩn mực. Bởi cô ấy không quen với những điều ấy, nên cô ấy trở thành mục tiêu cho mọi người chỉ trích. Nòa là cô ấy khiếm nhã, cô ấy bất lịch sự vì chẳng biết thế nào là lịch sự…
Nhưng bay giờ, cô ấy đã biết những nghi thức phù hợp. Luôn chào mọi người, luôn vui vẻ với nụ cười từ thiên đường, đó chính là Tiffany. Cô ấy biết phá vỡ bức tường vô hình trong nhóm. Trong nhóm, thì cô ấy chỉ là một cô em họ người Mĩ bình thường, và những lễ nghi giữa các thành viên với nhau thì thật là kỳ cục. Điều ấy đã khiến mối quan hệ của họ trở nên bền chặt hơn. Cô ấy là “mẹ” của Seohyun, là gia sư tiếng anh và là chị của các thành viêc khác, và là vợ của leader hư hỏng nữa.
Cuối cùng, để hiểu Nấm hơn, mình nghĩ rất cần thiết biết những vết sẹo trong tâm hồn mà cô ấy phải chịu đựng khi cô ấy mất mẹ. Tôi không thể hiểu được điều ấy như thế nào, nhưng tôi nghĩ tôi có thể đánh giá được sự khao khát của Nấm. Cô ấy nói khi cô ấy còn là thực tập sinh, cô ấy không thực sự thường xuyên nghĩ về gia đình mình, không hè nhớ họ, không hối hận vì đã chọn con đường này. Nhưng khi cô ấy debut, khi giải thưởng đến với cô ấy, cô ấy mới cảm nhận được khoảng trống trong lòng mình.
Cô ấy biết rằng những thành công ấy không thể trọn vẹn nếu không có người chia sẻ với mình. Những năm tháng quên đi sự cần thiết của một gia đình đã thực sự là một cú giáng đòn vào cô ấy. Đó chính là lí do tại sao chúng ta được chứng kiến những khó khăn, và cô ấy chấp nhận những gì mà việc mất mẹ mang đến cho mình. Bạn có biết Soshi có ý nghĩa gì với cô ấy không? Là tất cả.
Làm sao lại có người không yêu quý Nấm được
Nếu người ấy là bạn, chắc hẳn là đang dối lòng rồi.

I needed a break from work so I took Friday off and walked around my favorite nature preserve. It was a day of calm with gentle rain and rich spring colors to die for. As I wandered for some seven hours, I saw deer (okay, only their white tails running away from me), a crane, a mama goose on her eggs, a group of wood ducks, and a variety of midwestern birds like this guy. We made eye contact and came to the simple understanding that I would sit still and make no sudden moves and he would pose like a model and give me every look in the book :-)

"Understanding Society" is the main theme of Tilburg University in the southern province of Noord Brabant of The Netherlands. But there's only so much 'understanding' a visiting committee can take in at one sitting. So we went on a couple of pleasant walks through the spaciously laid out campus. There's a wonderful, rectangular pond with modern sculpture, and walking in the low, bright sun rays this view delighted our eyes: truly Blazing Autumnal Waters. My precise little Sony T900 recorded what we saw as faithfully as I remember it...
A bit facetiously it might be added that the ciitzens of Tilburg are proud to ply their once offensive nickname of "Kruikezeikers" (Pot-pissers). Tilburg grew from various impoverished hamlets where sheep grazing was the main occupation. The wool was then shipped out to other places. But in early-modern times, households began their own wool industry, taking textile making into their own hands, as it were. Hardly a home could be found without a loom. Industry-size millhouses were established in the nineteenth century, and Tilburg became the wool and textile capital of the Netherlands. In former times, urine was necessary for wool-processing, and it was collected in earthenware jars. Hence that Tilburg epitheton (now fashionably) ornans!
Incidentally, it was this kind of industry that Karl Marx decried in the nineteenth century and led him to write "Das Kapital". Students of the then still Catholic University in 1969 for a short time effected a change of name for their institution, calling it Karl Marx Universiteit.
Whatever the case, after our little stretching of the legs we again turned to "Understanding Society".
Inside the Space Life Sciences Laboratory at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, bobtail squid are part of preparations on May 20, 2021, for the Understanding of Microgravity on Animal-Microbe Interactions (UMAMI) experiment that will launch to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s 22nd Commercial Resupply Services mission. The experiment will examine the effects of spaceflight on the molecular and chemical interactions between beneficial microbes and their animal hosts. Amimals, including humans, rely on microbes to maintain a healthy digestive and immune system. UMAMI is one of several experiments bound for the space station in the Dragon capsule atop the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The mission is scheduled to lift off from Launch Complex 39A on June 3.

According to the UNESCO Website:
Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord is the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the few glaciers through which the Greenland ice cap reaches the sea. Sermeq Kujalleq is one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world. It annually calves over 35 km3 of ice, i.e. 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice and more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. Studied for over 250 years, it has helped to develop our understanding of climate change and icecap glaciology. The combination of a huge ice-sheet and the dramatic sounds of a fast-moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs makes for a dramatic and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
Brief synthesis
Located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland’s Ilulissat Icefjord is a tidal fjord covered with floating brash and massive ice, as it is situated where the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier calves ice into the sea. In winter, the area is frozen solid. One of the few places where ice from the Greenland ice cap enters the sea, Sermeq Kujalleq is also one of the fastest moving (40 m per day) and most active glaciers in the world. Its annual calving of over 46 cubic kilometres of ice, i.e. 10% of all Greenland calf ice, is more than any other glacier outside Antarctica, and it is still actively eroding the fjord bed. The combination of a huge ice-sheet and the dramatic sounds of a fast-moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord full of icebergs make for a dramatic and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
The Greenland ice cap is the only remnant in the Northern Hemisphere of the continental ice sheets from the Quaternary Ice Age. The oldest ice is estimated to be 250,000 years old, and provides detailed information on past climatic changes and atmospheric conditions from 250,000 to around 11,550 years ago, when climate became more stable. Studies made over the last 250 years demonstrate that during the last ice age, the climate fluctuated between extremely cold and warmer periods, while today the ice cap is being maintained by an annual accumulation of snow that matches the loss through calving and melting at the margins. This phenomenon has helped to develop our understanding of climate change and icecap glaciology.
Criterion (vii): The combination of a huge ice sheet and a fast moving glacial ice-stream calving into a fjord covered by icebergs is a phenomenon only seen in Greenland and Antarctica. Ilulissat offers both scientists and visitors easy access for a close view of the calving glacier front as it cascades down from the ice sheet and into the ice-choked fjord. The wild and highly scenic combination of rock, ice and sea, along with the dramatic sounds produced by the moving ice, combine to present a memorable natural spectacle.
Criterion (viii): The Ilulissat Icefjord is an outstanding example of a stage in the Earth’s history: the last ice age of the Quaternary Period. The ice-stream is one of the fastest (40 m per day) and most active in the world. Its annual calving of over 46 km3 of ice accounts for 10% of the production of all Greenland calf ice, more than any other glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier has been the object of scientific attention for 250 years and, along with its relative ease of accessibility, has significantly added to the understanding of ice-cap glaciology, climate change and related geomorphic processes.
Integrity
The property is of sufficient size to adequately represent the geological process of the ice fjord, i.e. the fast-moving ice-stream, the relevant portion of the inland icecap, the glacial front and the fjord. The boundaries of the property are clearly defined in relation to the logical topographic criteria of the natural watershed, and the settlements of the nearby villages of Ilimanaq and Ilulissat are excluded from the property. Along with climatic limitations and the fact that no roads exist at the site, the area’s physical features retain a high degree of natural integrity.
The property has effective legal protection and a sound planning framework, including the prohibition of any mining in the protected area. However, increased management will be required as pressures from tourism and resource harvesting continue to grow.
Protection and management requirements
The property is protected and conserved by an established framework of government legislation and protective designations and by local planning policies. The main legislative measure is the Greenland Parliament Act No. 29 of 18 December 2003 on nature protection. This act is the foundation framework for the protection of species, ecosystems and protected areas. Ilulissat itself is protected under the Greenland Home Rule Government Order No. 10 of 15 June 2007 on protection of Ilulissat Icefjord. The area bordering the property is further controlled by national regulations on waste disposal, use of snowmobiles, building constructions and landscape protection. Extensive hunting and fishing occurs in a portion of the property, and a special hunting law is enforced and monitored to ensure that the exploitation of biological resources in the area is sustainable. The property itself is managed cooperatively by a Board consisting of representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Nature and the Municipality of Ilulissat.
A comprehensive management plan has been developed and the property will benefit from a monitoring programme. Particular attention was paid to the rapidly increasing tourism in the area, and in particular pressures emanating from cruise ships visiting the site and helicopter traffic. Regulations concerning visits to the property by boat, foot, helicopter and dog sledge; the management of waste and waste disposal; building constructions; exploitation of biological resources in the area, and protection of the cultural heritage sites within the property have been put into place. Signage and visitor infrastructure have been upgraded, and a visitor centre in the town of Ilulissat is planned.
All land in the reserve is state-owned and no permanent settlements are allowed. Nearby construction is also strictly controlled. Visitor access to the area is limited by the wilderness character of the landscape, with no roads or human-made structures. Management issues such as crowding (from cruise tourism) and erosion are limited to a small area close to the town of Ilulissat. The protection of the property will be further enhanced when a planned buffer zone is adopted.

Friendship never means equality, it means the understanding and warmth we find in each other.
Rare and precious, it brightens the days softens the heart.
When you find that warmth, stay... it's precious to your soul, for it will only make you better.

My heart, my words. Please respect them.
Every poem, every story, and every thought I share is a part of my soul. To take them without permission is to take a piece of me
a piece that will always remind you these words are mine and can never be yours.
Even if you alter them, it is still my soul that lingers, whispering to you: You are incapable of creating your own, and that is why you copy what belongs to others.
There was a knock on the door.
It sounded like an 'important knock' if you know what I mean.
When I opened the door she stood there...
'Can I keep her dad?'
She found a couple of stray cats and made friends with them.
I live in a freakin' zoo.
I had to get flea medicine and catfood and now I got a couple of cats.
If anyone would be interested in adopting them you know where to find me.
They're some lovey cats.
She wants them to go to a good home.
Please don't make it mine.

Understanding how to grow algae in space might be the key to a successful closed life support system in future spacecraft. And it helps us to better understand Earth's eco system, too.
Zu verstehen, wie man Algen im Weltraum züchten kann, könnte der Schlüssel zu einem funktionierenden geschlossenen Lebenserhaltungssystem in zukünftigen Raumschiffen sein. Und noch dazu hilft es uns, das Ökosystem unserer Erde besser zu verstehen.

### Will Apple Listen to Mark Zuckerberg’s Criticism?
I Don’t Think So—At Least Not for Someone Enchanted by the Apple Vision Pro.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, recently appeared on a well-known podcast, where he criticized Apple for failing to release an innovative product since the iPhone and for experiencing a decline in sales.
Appearing on a podcast originating from Apple and then proceeding to criticize the company might seem like a lighthearted joke, but I believe he was serious.
Why? Because he now wields a weapon—the AR glasses.
With the support of various institutions and a team of highly skilled professionals, he has likely achieved some notable milestones. Yet, as someone who has been a devoted Apple user since the PowerBook 540c, I still do not sense any real craftsmanship or identity in what he creates.
This sentiment extends to other IT giants that currently dominate the world—Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, and Google.
Just by listing their names, readers of this text are likely already picturing their respective CEOs.
In the past, I wrote that Steve Jobs was not an artist.
What he excelled at was weaving together scattered ideas from across the world, expanding upon them, and linking them to the future.
The true creator was Jonathan Ive.
A minority of people may share this perspective with me.
However, when I see these IT moguls quickly shifting their corporate stances the moment the possibility of Trump returning to power emerges, I feel compelled to speak my mind.
The AR glasses, the cars—everything they create lacks a fundamental concept.
Call it ideology or, in lighter terms, identity.
It is true that Tim Cook and Apple’s current team have become more prone to letting slip details about upcoming products before their official release.
I have always loved music.
Artists shut themselves in a studio, cutting off the outside world, pouring their anger, hatred, joy, and sorrow into each note with intense focus.
It’s as if they are entrusting something to their music.
And when they finally release their album, they explain the emotions and thoughts behind its creation.
(Prince, whom I admire, rarely spoke about his work, so understanding his art required engaging with the final product itself.)
Until an album is complete and released, artists say nothing.
It was those artists who moved me to my core.
The faint glow of Apple’s innovation still remains within me.
Not even last year’s widely criticized "failure"—the Apple Vision Pro—could extinguish it.
In fact, it shines even brighter than the iPhone.
Because beyond its cutting-edge electronic components, I can sense a concept, an ideology.
Unfortunately, I will never feel the same from Meta’s AR glasses or Tesla’s cars.
I have written at length, but here is the key article:
**Tim Cook Donates Over $1.5 Million to Trump’s Inauguration Ceremony**
🔗 [Gigazine Article](gigazine.net/news/20250104-apple-ceo-tim-cook-donates-1-m...)
At first glance, this might make it seem like Tim Cook, like other tech CEOs, has sold his soul. But that is not the case.
While Cook personally donated to Trump, Apple itself did not follow the same path as other companies.
Apple refused to bow to Trump.
If asked what Apple’s ideology truly is, I would answer this:
**Apple is a group of individuals who believe in themselves.**
Steve Jobs, watching from heaven, is probably chuckling at this overly serious text I wrote.
A company that does not pander to Trump—
That is Apple. :)

8mm film of our honeymoon resurrected after decades.
youtu.be/zH-dG7bMeL4?si=yLF5_f1m-LhAVdPp
We found the 8mm film of our honeymoon for the first time in decades, and burned it onto a DVD.
On June 6, 1993, we got married, and headed straight to Nassau, Bahamas, via New York.
Our destination was the pink sand beach where the late Princess Diana went on her honeymoon.
If you're heading to the Bahamas, this might be a good reference.
The hotel we stayed at was the Ramada Hotel, which no longer exists.
My wife is showing us the hotel room.
But now you can see the beautiful scenery in real time.
When I played the DVD that arrived, it showed footage of our arrival in the Bahamas.
Please take a look if you'd like.
This time, we asked Fujifilm to make the DVD.
I'll post the link below.

Notice regarding "Lot No.402_”.
From now on I will host "Lot No.402_".
The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.
That is the number when it was put up for auction.
No sign was written on the work.
So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.
However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.
A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.
I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

### **Interview and Novel: My Work**
I published a book in the past.
At that time, I uploaded my interview as a PDF online, both in Japanese and English.
Now, I am making it available for free.
More details can be found on Amazon.
**Writing a Novel.**
**Photography Techniques.**

These all share a common theme.
I put into words the things I felt and left them behind as a record.

### **Synopsis**
Kei Kitami, a student preparing for university entrance exams, meets Kaori Kamimura, an event companion six years his senior, through social media.
Kaori has come to Tokyo with a dream—to befriend famous artists.
To achieve this, she needs the influence of Ryo Osawa, a well-known radio producer.
During a live radio broadcast, Osawa speaks directly to Kaori:
*"I have a wife and child. But still, I want to see you."*
Meanwhile, Rika Sanjo, Kei’s classmate who secretly harbors feelings for him, is closely watching Kaori’s every move...

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

タイトル
“” A.I. アップルのアイデンティティについて””
www.flickr.com/photos/stealaway/54271473379/in/dateposted...
マークザッカーバーグ氏の批判に、アップルは耳を傾けるだろうか。
僕にはそう思えない。アップルヴィジョンプロに夢を見せられた僕には。
メタのマークザッカーバーグ氏は、有名なポッドキャストに出演し、アップルはアイフォン以来革新的な製品を発売せず、売り上げも落ちていると批判したようだ。
アップル発祥のポッドキャストに現れ、アップルを批判すると言うのは軽いジョークに思えるが、真剣に訴えたんだろうと僕は思う。
なぜなら、今の彼はARグラスという武器を手にしているからだ。
おそらく、さまざまな関係機関や優秀なスタッフが彼を支え、それなりの目標を達成したんだろうが、パワーブック５４０cから使い続けてきた僕のような古いアップルファンからしてみれば、まだ物作りのアイデンティを彼からはまったく感じない。
これは他の、現在世界を制覇しているIT企業らも含む。
メタ、アマゾン、テスラ。マイクロソフト。グーグル。
社名が並ぶだけで、このテキストを読まれている方は名前と顔をすでに浮かべているはずだ。
僕は以前、スティーブ・ジョブズはアーティストではないと書いた。
彼は、現世界に散らばったイメージを紡ぎ合わせ、それを膨らます。そして未来へリンクさせる。それが得意だっただけだ。
実際に創作していたのはジョナサンアイブだ。少数ながらも僕のような意見を持っている方もいるだろう。
しかし、先述したIT関連の面々が、トランプ氏に再び権力が戻るとなった途端に会社の方針を覆す様子を見ていると、僕は一言、どうしても意見したいのだ。
彼らが作ったARグラスや車などには、肝心な観念が欠けている。思想という重い言葉や、軽めのアイデンティティと言い換えてもいい。
確かに、ティムクック氏やアップルの現在のスタッフらは、発売前の商品に関して口を滑らせることが多くなった。
僕は、以前から書いているように音楽が大好きだ。
外界を断ち、アーティストらがスタジオにこもって、怒りや憎しみ、喜びや悲しみを一心不乱になって一音に吹き込む。何かを託すと言ってもいい。
そして、完成したアルバムを発表し、どんな思いを込めて制作したのかを語る。（僕が好きなプリンスはほとんど語らなかったので、完成された作品を理解する必要があった）
アルバムが完成し、発表するまで、彼らはひとことも語らない。
僕の胸を震わせたのは、そんなアーティストらだった。
僕の中に淡く灯っているアップルの革新性は、いまでも消えていない。
それは昨年、大失敗だと批判されたアップルヴィジョンプロでさえも消すことはできない。むしろ、アイフォン以上の強烈な光を放っている。
ただの斬新な電化製品ではなく、細かな電気部品の向こうに観念や思想を感じるからだ。
残念ながら、メタのARグラスやテスラの車に、僕がその観念や思想を感じることは今後もないだろう。
長々と書いてきたが、結論は以下の記事だ。
1.5億円超をAppleのティム・クックCEOがトランプの大統領就任式に寄付
gigazine.net/news/20250104-apple-ceo-tim-cook-donates-1-m...
一読すると、ティムクック氏も他のIT会社同様、魂を売ったのかと思われるがそうではない。
ティムクック氏は個人的にトランプ氏へ献金をするが、アップル社だけは他社と同じようには献金していない。
アップルは、トランプ氏になびかなかったのだ。
アップル社の観念や思想とは、具体的に何かと訊かれたら、僕はこう答える。
アップルとは、自分自身を信じる人間が集まっているグループだ。
たぶん、天国のスティーブ・ジョブズは、僕がクソ真面目に書いたテキストを、鼻で笑っていることだろう。
トランプ氏に媚びない会社。
それがAppleさ。:)
１月１５日
嬉しい記事を読んだ後で。

新婚旅行の8mmフィルムを数十年ぶりに復活😃
youtu.be/zH-dG7bMeL4?si=yLF5_f1m-LhAVdPp
新婚旅行の8mmフィルムが数十年ぶりに出てきて、DVDに焼きました。
１９９３年６月６日、僕らは結婚し、そのままニューヨークを経由して、バハマのナッソーへ向かいました。
目的地は、亡くなられたダイアナ妃が新婚旅行へ向かったピンクサンドビーチです。
もしもこれからバハマへ向かうならば、参考に見てもよいかもしれません。
泊まったホテルは、今はもうないラマダホテル。
妻がホテルの部屋を紹介しています。
でも、今はリアルタイムで美しい景色が見られますね。
届いたDVDを再生したら、バハマに到着したところからの映像でした。
もしもよかったら見てください。
今回、DVD化を依頼した場所は、富士フィルムさんです。

今後、僕は、” Lot No.402_ ”を主催します。
このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。
作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。
しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。
誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。
僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

(四百字詰め原稿用紙４５６枚)
あらすじ
大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。
上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

Understanding Guilt
Scriptures: John 8:1-11
Guilt over doing something that violates the conscience is a normal emotion. However, living under a cloud of remorse for no discernible reason is not. The Lord designed feelings of culpability and regret to serve as a reminder that a person has done wrong and needs to repent. But Satan twists those emotions to imprison men and women: those living in shame are uncertain of God's love and often lack self-confidence. Good guilt--the Lord's effective tool for prompting repentance--is a gift that helps us find the right path. However, the Devil encourages false guilt, which involves taking responsibility for things outside our control and then suffering self-condemnation for not changing the outcome. This unhealthy type of guilt is also a widespread problem for those in legalistic churches or lifestyles--certain behaviors or thoughts are labeled as wrong, and then people feel ashamed for doing or thinking those things. Self-condemnation stunts a relationship with Jesus. Instead of enjoying the peace of God, people who are trapped by shame fear His rejection and feel driven to prove their worth. Trust is nearly impossible because they are waiting for God's judgment to rain down. Their guilt even colors how they see themselves: rather than saying, "My action is wrong," they say, "I am bad." Jesus did not come to accuse or condemn us. Christ restored our souls and made us righteous before God so that our guilt is removed. If our Savior forgave the woman caught in an adulterous relationship, just imagine how ready He is to take your shame away too (John 8:11).

I took the info from wikipedia
I ask everyone to respect this page.
I do not want this to be used for a struggle of good against evil.
A fight Isreal-Iran or Israel-Palestine.
Á proper channels for this.
This page is ara to reveal a bit of Israel.
Thank you all for understanding
Is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area.[6] Also adjacent are the West Bank to the east and Gaza Strip to the southwest. Israel is the world's only predominantly Jewish state with a population of about 7.5 million people, of whom approximately 5.7 million are Jewish. The largest ethnic minority group is the segment denominated as Arab citizens of Israel, while minority religious groups include Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans, most of whom are found within the Arab segment.
The modern state of Israel has its historical and religious roots in the Biblical Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), also known as Zion, a concept central to Judaism since ancient times, and the heartland of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Following the birth of political Zionism in 1897 and the Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations granted Great Britain the Mandate for Palestine after World War I, with responsibility for establishing "...such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion..."
In November 1947, the United Nations voted in favor of the partition of Palestine, proposing the creation of a Jewish state, an Arab state and a UN-administered Jerusalem. Partition was accepted by Zionist leaders but rejected by Arab leaders leading to the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948 and neighboring Arab states attacked the next day. Since then, Israel has fought a series of wars with neighboring Arab states, and in consequence occupies territories beyond those delineated in the 1949 Armistice Agreements. Some international borders remain in dispute. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, though efforts to resolve conflict with the Palestinians have so far only met with limited success.
Israel is a developed country and a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel's legislative body. The economy, based on the nominal gross domestic product, was the 41st-largest in the world in 2008. Israel ranks highest among Middle Eastern countries on the UN Human Development Index, and has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. Jerusalem is the country's capital, although it is not recognized internationally as such,[a] while Israel's main financial center is Tel Aviv.
Etymology
Over the past three thousand years, the name "Israel" has meant in common and religious usage both the Land of Israel and the entire Jewish nation. According to the Bible, Jacob is renamed Israel after successfully wrestling with an angel of God.
The earliest archaeological artifact to mention "Israel" (other than as a personal name) is the Merneptah Stele of ancient Egypt (dated the late 13th century BCE), which refers to a people of that name. The modern country was named Medinat Yisrael, or the State of Israel, after other proposed names, including Eretz Israel ("the Land of Israel"), Zion, and Judea, were rejected. In the early weeks of independence, the government chose the term "Israeli" to denote a citizen of Israel, with the formal announcement made by Minister of Foreign Affairs Moshe Sharett.

Meaning country name:
Israel takes its name from the biblical patriarch Jacob, later known as Israel, literally meaning "struggled with God/he struggles with God". According to the account in the Book of Genesis, Jacob wrestled with a stranger (in later tradition said to have been an angel) at a river ford and won through perseverance. God then changed his name to Israel signifying that he had deliberated with God and won as he had wrestled and won with men.
Description Flag:
The flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948, five months after the country's establishment. It depicts a blue Star of David on a white background, between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue color is mandated only as "dark sky-blue", and varies from flag to flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue, sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to hues about 75% toward pure cyan and shades as light as very light blue. The flag was designed for the Zionist Movement in 1891. The basic design recalls the Tallit, the Jewish prayer shawl, which is white with blue stripes. The hexagram in the centre is the Magen David ("shield of David"). It became a Jewish symbol starting in late medieval Prague, and was adopted by the First Zionist Congress in 1897.
Coat of arms:
The coat of arms of Israel shows a menorah surrounded by an olive branch on each side, and the writing "ישראל" (Hebrew for Israel) below it. While the background of the emblem is always blue, the menorah and olive branches can be either white or golden. The white-on-blue version appears on the presidential standard, while the gold-on-blue version is the common one when showing the emblem independently.
The State of Israel adopted its coat of arms after a design competition held in 1948. The design is based on the winning entry submitted by Gabriel and Maxim Shamir's proposal, with elements taken from other submissions, such as Oteh Walisch and W. Struski's and Itamar David and Yerachmiel Schechter's entries.
The image seems as if borrowed from the Zachariah (chapter 4); "I looked and behold a golden menorah with a bowl upon the top of it and seven lamps to it…and there are two olive trees by it, one upon the right of the bowl the other upon the left." However it is unclear whether this resemblance is intended or merely coincidental. The Shamir brothers did not mention this passage from Zachariah as the source of their design, even though they gave detailed account on their work in an interview to Maariv (February 16, 1949).
The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism for almost 3000 years. It was used in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. The olive branches symbolize peace.
National Anthem: הַתִּקְוָה (Hatkvah)
Hebrew
כל עוד בלבב פנימה
נפש יהודי הומי
ולפאתי מזרח קדימה,
עין לציון צופיה,
עוד לא אבדה תקוותנו,
התקווה בת שנות אלפים,
להיות עם חופשי בארצנו,
ארץ ציון וירושלים.

طالما في القلب تكمن،
نفس يهودية تتوق،
وللأمام نحو الشرق،
عين تنظر إلى صهيون.
أملنا لم يضع بعد،
أمل عمره ألفا سنة،
أن نكون أمّة حرّة في بلادنا،
بلاد صهيون وأورشليم القدس.
أملنا لم يضع بعد،
الأمل الأزلي
أن نعود إلى بلاد آبائنا،
إلى المدينة التي نزل عليها داود

As long as in the heart, within,
A Jewish soul is yearning,
And to the edges of the East, eastward,
An eye watches towards Zion,
As long as in the heart, within,
A Jewish soul is yearning,
And to the edges of the East, eastward,
An eye watches towards Zion,

After a couple of those fermented beverages that make me extra friendly I saw this woman walking down the street.
I did that thing... that trick where I say 'hey hey' in a way that makes the person think that I know them.
I think they get a little confused for a few seconds... like they try to figure out how they know me... even though they don't... they respond as if they do until they figure it out.
In the meantime I shoot a few pictures.
Then we laugh and go our seperate ways into the night.
Do you ever wonder about the dreams of people you pass by on the sidewalk?
Do you ever wonder what dreams they've got?
Everybody has dreams.
You've got dreams.
I've got dreams.
After the holidays and some paperwork I've gotta take care of in January I've decided to jump on one of those dreams.
I want to backpack across Iceland.
Not all of Iceland.
Maybe just a week's worth of it.
Fifty or sixty miles maybe.
I've been deprived of lonely wilderness adventure for the last two years and I gotta get lost in inner space.
I've always dug Iceland and I'm gonna save up some dough and grab a plane ticket...
bring my backpack and my camera and hit the trails there.
Those wicked blisters I got hiking across Isle Royale have healed.
I've been breaking those boots in for three years.
I'm ready.
Who doesn't dig volcanos?
It looks like a paradise and the kinda place I can do some deep thinkin' all by myself with only the mountains and the streams, the sound of the wind and the horizon to keep me company.
I gotta knock that dream off the list in 2012 before the Aztec predictions come true.
I wanna buy a sailboat too.
Not a big one.
Just big enough to do some sailing way out on Lake Michigan.
It's time.
I need the chillaxin' in my life and it would be good for the little Viewminders to get out on the water and learn to sail.
You know what else I wanna do?
I wanna buy some land in the mountains and put up a yurt.
One of those cool round tents that the nomadic Mongols live in.
I dig yurts.
It'd be really cool to live in a yurt for a few weeks every year I think.
I've got a little while for that one.
I'd love to backpack across Patagonia too.
I love to travel.
Finding myself in exotic foreign places is kinda cool.
My life's been on standstill for a couple of years and I'm hopin' I'm gonna break out of that in January and get some of those dreams accomplished.
As I get older I realize that people are made of dreams.
Take those dreams away and you're not left with much of a person.
You gotta have dreams.
Just reaching for them makes us alive.
Achieving them is living.
I hope you've got some wonderful dreams in your pocket.
Things you aspire to do.
Moments you look forward to living.
Dream big.
Dream on.
Dream forever.
We're made of dreams.
Dreams.
