The performance assessment is one of the most important things to most people in most of the fields in the world today. As far as one's performance is correctly recognized and assessed in an organization, one's visibility may not be a matter of serious concern. Probably, it depends upon the degree of one's relative priority. If it isn't assessed fairly, however, one may need to improve one's visibility in an organization, or, unless a difficulty in an organization is dealt with successfully, one may need to gain public recognition.
It goes without saying that the accurate assessment of one's performance should be carried out without bias and without favor.

According to the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia in Japanese, "bronchitis is an illness exhibiting symptoms of a productive cough and a sensation of chest congestion". "When it's acute, bronchitis may entail a relatively high fever and chest pain". "In most common cases, bronchitis is developed from a cold or influenza". "The chilly atmosphere may also induce bronchitis". "When the unfavorable conditions repeat, the deformation or the degeneration of the mucosal tissues in the bronchial tube is caused, so that it becomes chronic bronchitis".
Although my coughing didn't entail any high fever and wasn't developed from a cold or influenza, the symptoms I had mostly in the late half of 2003 were similar to the symptoms that are described in the Britannica Encyclopedia as seen above. It can be said that my bad cough persistent from 2003 until 2004 was a symptom of bronchitis, air-conditioning-induced disease, stress-induced disease, side effects, or autonomic imbalance. Some of them may be the correct answers. In other words, a combination of the prescription medications for blood pressure reduction, overwork, and some other unhealthy conditions including the very chilly condition around my desk triggered a persistent cough. Because a powerful cough persistent for about a year increased the burden on my heart those days, dizziness might have sometimes seized me when I stood up suddenly for the following few years.
Taking rest and keeping warm had recovered the condition of my health, as written previously.

According to some news sources, an asteroid approximately 400 meters in diameter, which was found in 2005, is passing near the Earth today. Its closest distance from the Earth is about 85% of the spacing between the Earth and the Moon. Maybe I am imagining things, but there have recently been too many news suggesting the possibility that things may be falling from the sky and influential people may be falling from high positions.

Found that the pivot arm (mount) of one of the outside mirrors of my wife's car was broken this evening. Probably, something happened when we went out shopping at grocery stores last weekend.

Fastened the outside mirror of my wife's car with adhesive tape tentatively this afternoon. Tried to find a replacement part for the outside mirror of my wife's car at several online shops by doing Internet searches. However, it wasn't found.

Got up at nine forty-five in the morning. Ate a bowl of rice porridge for lunch. Went to see "J. Edgar" and "Immortals 3D" at the movie theaters this afternoon. Ate a meal at a restaurant this evening. Stopped at grocery stores on the way home.
The film entitled "J. Edgar" gives a vivid portrait of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, who restructured the FBI as its director in the early twentieth century and led it until his death in 1972. The restructuring of the agency involved the implementation of strict discipline and training, the introduction of scientific criminal investigation and intensive surveillance, and the advancement of its publicity. Although the subject who first invented fingerprint verification is an unknown field to me, it's true that he directed the FBI to collect a huge stack of fingerprint files. The description of the psychology of an outstanding US patriot from the inside in this film is interesting. According to the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, "Hoover habitually used the FBI's enormous surveillance and information gathering powers to collect damaging information on politicians throughout the country, and apparently, he was able to intimidate even sitting presidents by threatening to leak damaging disclosures about them". What menacing acts he had taken habitually! It seems that his followers in the FBI, CIA, or political parties have been continuously taking such activities until now. Indeed, there may be quite a long history of such a political trick in many places all around the world.
In a scene of this film, Mr. Hoover made a long speech while referring to its draft written on the boards that are hidden from the sight of his audience. I don't know who first invented the idea that allows a speaker to pretend to make a speech extempore or to memorize its entire draft. At the present time, this way of speech is very common in broadcasting stations and political fields, as well known. However, it still isn't common in the academic fields.
The frequent use of flashbacks doesn't confuse the audience if the film tells the episodes of a person famous as this world goes. It seems to me that, whether what the film tells is true or not, his portrayal of possible homosexuality in the film doesn't hurt the senior audience's feelings.
The film entitled "Immortals 3D" tells a new sanguinary story on the sceneries made with the full use of the latest computer graphics in 3D. Although the film is made on the theme of a tale of Theseus's heroic adventures found in Greek mythology, its plot is quite different from the original plot of Greek mythology. Several foreign essences such as the dualism of good and evil, Apocalypse, and Ragnarok seen in Christianity and Norse mythology are incorporated in this film. In the world of good and evil, as seen in this fictional film, only the way people on the good side may be able to choose is the all-out resistance. No negotiation for evils should be helpful.
On the other hand, in the case of the conflicts between gangs and even the conflicts between the government and the antigovernment in the real world, the negotiation should always be meaningful. The virtue of the battle lasting for a century was praised in the medieval period and earlier. Needless to say, however, it shouldn't be so in modern times because of the tremendous advancement of the lethality of weapons and especially the existence of weapons of mass destruction. It's rather ironic in this film that the existence of the weapons created by Cyclops makes even the immortals mortal.
The 3D effect of this film is mild and natural. It didn't bring on my headaches at all. The scene in which Theseus heightens the morale of the troops by commanding in rhythm with beating his shield is impressive. My wife said that that sounds like rap music. That may sound like so, but Theseus doesn't say "Yo".

According to some news sources, a few bullets hit the bulletproof glass windows of the White House. Needless to say, this sort of act is more menacing than that to intimidate a person by threatening to leak damaging disclosures.

The year 2011 is a strange year for particle physicists and astrophysicists. As the experimental results using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, suspicions about the existence of the Higgs boson and supersymmetry increased. Additionally, the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tracking Apparatus (OPERA), which is a collaboration with CERN, reported recently that neutrinos might travel faster than light.
Because neutrino is a subatomic particle with no electric charge, little mass, and half-integral spin, neutrino interacts with other particles by weak force and very weak gravity. Today, OPERA reported that its new measurements of the speed of this very penetrating subatomic particle traveling from CERN again suggest with a higher degree of accuracy than previously reported that neutrinos travel faster than light. This result is contrary to the Special Theory of Relativity, which describes that the unreachable upper limit of the speed of a matter with a mass that is accelerated from a speed less than the speed of light is the speed of light.
Most scientists are still considering that there may be an unknown source of error in the experiment, according to some news sources. The question of whether the mass of the subatomic particle that OPERA detected is nonzero or not is interesting personally if it really travels faster than light.

It goes without saying that poisoning a person by putting poisonous substances such as toxins, venoms, chemical materials, and radioactive materials in food must be a criminal act. Don't repeat such a criminal act, whoever orders you to do so.

My personal opinion on the education of children at the present time is that further developments of objectiveness are necessary in many fields. The possession of objectiveness should be a necessary condition in natural science and other academic fields. It also helps strengthen people's control over themselves. The higher degree of people's objectiveness the society attains, the less egocentric people it has without the smallest strain.
Education in military fashion may have a similar influence on people's mental orientedness in terms of less selfishness, but it tends to make people bored. People shouldn't be educated to be just the cogwheels for the society. However, education in a military fashion can't be completely denied because the implementation of education in a military fashion is much easier than that of the education intended to develop objectiveness. That's merely a matter of degree.
It goes without saying that people's emotional development is also important, especially in the fields of literature and art. However, it seems to me that the development of objectiveness doesn't check people's emotional development. Instead, it helps improve the ability in the composition in these fields.

Because of the freedom from the established ideas, a genius may be seen not only as a childish person in some cases but also as an aged person in other cases. One of the key features of a genius is the librated thinking that isn't bound to established ideas. Under a misunderstanding about a genius, a childlike quality is sometimes overvalued. I believe that any low mental maturity shouldn't be highly esteemed.
Unlike a genius for thinking, a genius for skills may be developed most efficiently with early education, as well known. Early education for skills helps grow the specialized abilities in a child. However, too strict early education has often been criticized because it just grows a person like a machine.
