It seems to me that a recent flurry of unsophisticated activities regarding the passage of a controversial bill going on in political circles in the Diet let the Japanese people reconfirm that it needs the development of a two-party system soon. It goes without saying that any relapse into faction-based politics among the members of a dictatorship party has to be avoided.

Mr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela passed away at the ripe age of 95. A large number of politicians from all over the world who mostly have reformist and liberal ideologies paid tribute to his achievements by attending his funeral, according to the news programs.
Consulted some dictionaries for his career. Unfortunately, the previous violent acts by his fellows of the ANC that those dictionaries briefly described reminded me of some unpleasant experiences of ours in the US. The members of the ANC had committed such violent acts while setting their faces against the then Government and its policy of apartheid. Even though there were compelling reasons for doing so, some sort of strict government officials are generally intolerant of their antigovernment behaviors.
Entirely different from the motivations of the members of the ANC to rise in revolt, some of the people in Austin Texas who probably professed to be human rights activists had committed the thuggish acts against an individual in order to bring some benefits to their communities. Those were nothing but the ways of a gang. Especially, a hoodlum act that's designed to make us give more donations to the Red Cross by extortion was disagreeable. Since then, felt always unhappy when seeing the logo of the Red Cross. It's my understanding that the Asian old guards had been pretending to help senior Americans, so that they could let the perpetrators commit one misdeed after another including the act bringing disgrace upon the name of the humanitarian agent those days, for their mutual benefit. Calling down the vengeance of Heaven on the people who do something evil to their advantage while being hidden in the crowds is the only measure left.

By threatening politicians of the parties in and out of government with a series of disclosures of trivial and rather serious secrets for the last couple of months their emotions were guided to be oriented toward self-protectionism and then a controversial bill was suddenly passed. Felt as if a liberal American who belonged to the elite groups of the Harvard and/or Yale networks, a German who's good at political propaganda, or a mutual friend of theirs were supporting the current cabinet and the bureaucracy of Japan as a strategist. Hope that this is the outcome of a progress that Japanese bureaucrats have really become competitive with Western strategists in terms of devising a stratagem.

Enjoyed a few glasses of red wine with full to medium body this evening, as a substitute for celebrating my wife's birthday. It rained hard early in the morning. After the rain, there was a gradual drop in the temperature.

The establishment of a circle of acquaintances may be beneficial in various situations, but the wrong use of it has to be carefully kept under control. The point is that the teamwork of a circle should always be oriented toward creative activities. It shouldn't be used for the motivation for the wicked acts, the concealment of these acts, the victimization of an individual, and so on.

In the modern society of a developed nation that has the abilities of self-examination and self-correction to some degree, any violent protest shouldn't be allowed. On the other side, in the society of a backward nation that has a lot of unbearable problems on its plate, though the present government always tries to control the violent protesters in conformity to their duties, whether the climate of international public opinion should support the violent protesters there or not isn't easily affirmed. So, it simply depends upon the maturation degree of the administration of a nation. It goes without saying that a social amelioration as a result of the methods conforming to the laws i.e. a democratic way, a nonviolent protection must be unsurpassable in any case.
In a future unified nation, there may be no place on earth where the protesters have justification for doing their violent act, though the act of protest in itself may still be allowed somewhat.

On account of the weather in a highland city in Japan that has been getting colder recently, my diary is apt to be lacking in spirit gradually.

The colder the weather is, the less active my liberal way of thinking may be. It seems to me that being in repeated practices is suitable for a cold and inflexible environment for the purpose of preservation of the status quo, rather than being flexible. Finished reading a classic physics book yesterday. Started reading aloud in the English language Volume 1 of the other books provides a comprehensive knowledge of the quantum theory of fields that I once read previously and is appropriate to read following the last book in order to improve my ability to think in English without through Japanese. Also restarted reading aloud the document summarizing my previous publications recently in order to maintain my knowledge of semiconductor devices. Continued to read books regarding semiconductor processes and surface science in the Japanese language.

Not only for the applications of low-power mobile devices but also for those of high-performance computing in consumer products, the development of an energy-efficient processor is a trend of times. The drastic reduction in the power consumption per core while maintaining a reasonable clock speed enables to increase in the number of cores in a parallel processor so that its speed can be boosted up by trading off against the disadvantage of the power consumption. Obviously, a parallel processor becomes expensive with increasing the number of cores in it. This trend may last for a while.
