In my diary the day before yesterday, I intentionally ceased explaining what the implications of Star Blazers were. This is because very carelessly the most problematic in these implications may answer a difficult question by the questioners, i.e. "What would the Japanese have done if the Japanese had had that thing earlier than the questioners?" Japan was incapable of developing that thing doubtless at that time, but they have asked the same question. By broadcasting Star Blazers repetitiously, the implication in it has given the same thoughtless answer by a sort of Japanese including a cartoonist to the question. This is annoying because every reader or audience should have his or her own opinion on that imaginary issue.
In a society where people have attached exaggerated importance to remembrance, there may be some peculiar ways to intrude an opinion on others by letting them hear a talk, read a document, or see an image without asking for their assent to an opinion afterward. More unfortunately, not only a daily conversation but also a TV drama, movie, news program, novel, news report, etc. may be used for the purpose of intruding an opinion on people there. I doubt if the most problematic implication of Star Blazers is what a sort of Japanese really wanted to intrude on not only young Japanese but also young people around the world.

Because of complications in its tax calculations, the introduction of the progressive sales tax that I took in my diary a few years ago should be premature. Although the introduction of the reduction in the consumption tax rate that is assessed selectively on some of the necessaries causes less complication than the above-mentioned system does for now, the expected benefits for the weak may be unsatisfactory, and naturally nation's tax revenue should decrease. If it has to be introduced necessarily for some reason such as the reduction of the price with a tax of a main staple diet while protecting its self-sufficiency with a tariff, an import restriction, or another, one of the simplest ideas of "tax-free only on uncooked (polished and unpolished) rice" may be acceptable, though I don't like this old idea, to be honest.
The necessity for the reduction in the cost prices of some of the necessaries by waking a certain degree of price competition with the imports with no or lower tariff can't be denied. Despite the common knowledge that the majority of necessaries in Japan are still more expensive than those in the US and other countries, the prices of most necessaries in Japan are increasing because of Yen's recent depreciation against the US dollar for the last few years.

According to some news sources, the driving range of the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is about 200 miles (322 km) when its next generation Lithium Ion Battery is fully charged. Although there is no bound to the driver's necessity for the higher driving range, the range of it is long enough for most average drivers requiring only an everyday town use to juggle for a week. The cost reduction of an EV should still be the remaining objective to clear.
As written a few times, it seems to me that future hydrogen-powered vehicles are appropriate for the uses of transportation businesses that require a long driving range and a heavy load. It's my view that only professional drivers with a special license will be allowed to drive this sort of future vehicle only for business uses so that the locations of the hydrogen gas stations can be restricted far from the urban and residential areas without causing any inconvenience. It's more desirable that the large hydrogen-powered vehicles for freight transports are restricted to running only on the freeways and highways, and only the small electric vehicles are used for delivery and taxi purposes on the roads and streets in a city. Future school, sightseeing, and city buses may be powered by burning biofuel in a city.
The future construction of small power stations utilizing large-scale fuel cells equipped with some liquid hydrogen tanks at the places where the transformer and distributor substations are currently located outside the urban and residential areas may be a good idea to supply electricity to the residential areas while still using the existing grids of power lines connecting between the previous substations and all the residences in the residential districts and disusing the grids of high-voltage power lines connecting between the large power stations and the previous substations. In virtue of the ramifications of the system containing the power stations and the power line grids and the disuse of the high-voltage power line grids, probable troubles due to an electric power failure can localized in an area and the frequency of it can be reduced. Above all, possible risks attendant upon the explosion of hydrogen can be ruled out in the urban and residential areas. The electricity generation at each residence using a home fuel cell that is connected to the network of utility hydrogen gas lines may be advantageous in terms of the reduction in unnecessary energy consumption and the creation of some new chances in the utility and appliance businesses without bringing liquid hydrogen into the urban and residential areas, but it may be very disadvantageous in terms of the disaster controls and a huge expenditure of money on the maintenance of its infrastructure. Therefore, I'm skeptical about the promotion of the hydrogen gas line.

In history, Democracy was advocated and carried out on trial for the first time in ancient Greece. Geek aristocrats considered Aristocracy to be superior to Democracy in those days. Nowadays, Democracy is highly thought of by people of many countries. In the present difficult situation of the Greek government, however, it's uncertain whether a way leaning greatly toward Democracy such as the referendum is the most appropriate or not. It may be more desirable for the Greek people to find a strong and authentic leadership and to refer its financial crisis to them. The tendency toward Democracy should be fine and further pursued for fairness when the situation is fair or well.
In these latter days, the referendum is sometimes used as a part of a political scheme to appeal to rightness in aid of people's loyalty to today for Democracy when the government party is sure about the coming poll. I think that it's right in principle, though it's rather costly and time-consuming.
Anyway, my wife and I would like to tour the Greek islands someday.

I remember that an engineer who stood next to me either on or near the stage of an auditorium filled with many coworkers introduced himself as an athlete about two decades ago. I believe that he had never become a professional athlete. It's my understanding that he misstated so because he didn't weigh his words in speaking.
For the purpose of clearing up the misunderstandings that some fraudulent Japanese and their friends caused intentionally as a part of their favorite trick, I would like to affirm that I have never said so. Probably I said in a daily conversation or wrote in an email that I had taken part in or was considered to take part in some sorts of sports for fun. However, I have never said or written in Japanese or in English that I intended to be in any sort of professional sport. I have merely had some daily exercises to maintain my muscles, flexibility, and health since my youth.

People make mistakes. The establishment of environments where people can find a mistake beforehand should always be desirable. Encouraging a person who is most responsible for a work to check it several times is most common. By a system for checking work with the eyes of other experts, the possibility of making a mistake may be minimized. These are quite usual with many of the organizations in which people are supposed to team up together.
Friendly rivalry is favorable in most cases. By kindling people's emotions of rivalry excessively inside an organization, however, the outcomes from it can go bad to worse. A moderate rivalry should be oriented properly to those outside or other rival organizations in order to energize people in an organization while avoiding internal mutual interferences.
The reason why I am writing about this rather ordinary issue is that I sometimes feel that somebody has continuously inflamed some kinds of negative emotions in people around me.

Since last November, the stock market index of Shanghai has vigorously raised, partially because of a favorable impression of China's large-scale projects including the AIIB, which many Asian and European countries excluding the US and Japan have joined, on the investors. However, the Shanghai stock prices started going down in the middle of last month. It has recently reached what it was when the AIIB grandly floated early in the spring, and it's still falling while dragging down somewhat the prices of other major stocks in the world markets. What triggered its recent fall from the peak may be inferable from several world affairs of the past, present, and future, including the seriousness of the energy and environment issues and the slight relapse into the Cold War structure.
This rather hurried occurrence of the rise and fall of the Shanghai stock prices for the last half a year reminded me of the previous bubble economy of Japan due to the excess land flipping and its burst, though the change of a present fall following the rise of the Shanghai stock prices is much quicker. If, unlike Japan's previous bubble economy, a bubble economy due to a putative bubble of the Chinese stock prices is small and its economy is solidly equipped to be valued at its recent stock price the government of China may be able to manage this tumble sooner or later.
This rise and fall also reminded me of the way the human wave sweep that was designed to harm my health condition with recourse to the union of the human rights groups as the perpetrators around the year 2003. Indeed, they explored every avenue. Unlike the two cases above, my situation in 2003 wasn't related to any bubbly thing. It goes without saying that my robustness in 2003 and earlier wasn't boosted by any shady thing but was energized only with a high motivation to be successful. Looking back to those days, my situation in 2003 and the following few years was really unhealthy.

Surprisingly, the movement of the Shanghai stock prices turned up yesterday afternoon and it has been still rising since then. It's rather difficult to measure the size of a bubble in the stock prices of the growing Chinese economy. The recent recovery of the Shanghai stock prices following its government's intervention may suggest that it's still a manageable size. It seems to me that the Chinese government may have realized that taking an aggressive course of energy policy, in addition to maintaining the one-party rule by its Communist Party, is still risky.
The season when the worsening recurrence of abnormal weather troubles people in the Northern Hemisphere has come. The degree of the increase in the accumulating losses at the places that the world powers care about due to the natural disasters that may be aggravated by recent climate changes and the environmental deteriorations that may be related to the extraction of energy resources and the general awareness of it should be one of the reasonable indicators to measure its risk. Of course, world affairs, especially concerning the degree of progress of national securities, should be another major indicator.
Any mad gambling shouldn't be recommended to anyone. However, it should be necessary for the people who take up professions that require breaking fresh grounds more or less to take some risks after much consideration and reliable calculations. The pioneers in various fields, the investors, speculators, reformists, artists, researchers, developers, etc. don't have to be reckless but have to be somewhat adventurous.

Nowadays, many Asian people are working on the research and development of various technology generations of the VLSIs utilizing the 16nm, 14nm, or sub-10nm FinFETs, according to many papers published recently. For the majority of the recent logic chips for high-performance and/or low-power applications (PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc.), FinFET technology has already been utilized in general. When I presented my paper regarding the FinFETs at the IEDM Washington DC in December 2005, most Asian people from Japan, India, China, Taiwan, and Singapore didn't expect that the mainstream of the CMOS transistor design for these future technology nodes would become what it's at the present time. I guess that only a limited number of Americans, Japanese, and Koreans may have expected so at that time. I remember that, a few years after my presentation, some companies in the US and some institutes and universities in Japan and India clearly stated in their publications that the FinFETs wouldn't be used for the VLSI logic applications, contrary to my opinion explained in my IEDM paper.
I am wondering whether the people who urged against my opinion explained in my 2005 IEDM paper are the accomplices of those who harmed my health condition with the way the human wave swept around the year 2003 or the rivals of those.

The accomplices of the people who harmed my health condition with the way the human wave swept around the year 2003 are the anti-American-majority people tamed by the old guards in Japan, other Asian countries, and European countries whose privileges were denied after a war or a movement decades ago, and the rivals of those are the women's liberationist people sympathized by the old guards in European and American countries whose privileges were denied or weaken on their own initiatives after a revolution. It seems to me that I am not an enemy of either side.
Some fraudulent Japanese and their friends, who may get along with the accomplices of the above-mentioned people, probably inflamed enmity and envy of the American majorities through the crowds of either side or both sides toward my wife and/or me by spreading malicious rumors about us repeatedly while pretending to be the alleged victims those days, for the purpose of bringing a lot of benefits to some of the public and/or private enterprises taking roots among the locals under their controls, instead of some of the private multinational enterprises in the US. I have been wondering whether they really understood how dangerous both of the accomplices and the rivals of the above-mentioned people could be not only for us but even for them or not. Things became more dangerous when the accomplices and the rivals walked toward each other late in the 2000s.

Both the accomplices and the rivals of the above-mentioned people have a tendency to prefer academic degrees such as the PhD and MBA and the academic cliques of the brand name colleges to the record performances at the undergraduate and graduate schools and the achievements in the professions. This is simply because it's easier for them, their sons, daughters, and friends to get the former than the latter. The establishments in the US have traditionally placed a special emphasis on both academic record performances and career achievements, but the number of people who have promoted the values of the former has gradually increased for the last few decades since the era of the civil rights movement. On the other hand, some fraudulent Japanese and their friends have a tendency to prefer the Japanese brand name universities and other irrational local brands. The values of which they make much are unique and native.
The practical values of the US establishments are inconvenient for all of the three cliques above, so they are always grumbling. I was successful when I worked under the company regulations established and regulated by the US establishments. However, my situation has become difficult when the accomplices of the above-mentioned people and fraudulent Japanese have meddled in my business since the year 2003 or earlier.

Yesterday, NASA's probe, New Horizons traveled closest to a dwarf planet of our solar system, Pluto while proving it. A high-resolution image revealing its surface with complex geographic features including a relatively small number of craters let us reconfirm a piece of common knowledge that the best astronomical data can be obtained at the closest distance. Pluto looks like the satellite of the Earth. Like a rabbit shaped pattern engraved on the Moon's surface, Pluto has a large heart-shaped pattern on its surface. Hades may have a heart-warming appearance, which is visible when he takes his magical hat off. A NASA scientist may say that his heart is very icy indeed. According to the news report, unlike Persephone, New Horizons was able to escape successfully from the gravity of Hades, who is the king of the realm of the dead and the God of Wealth in Greek myths.
Although their intention is unclear, China's Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. offered to purchase a memory chipmaker in the US, Micron Technology Inc. at $23 billion this week. Come to think of it, a new CG animation movie, "Minions" was released and brought Hollywood good returns last weekend. They may just want to say that the Minions don't correspond to the Chinese white-collar workers but the people who are employed in a subsidiary of Micron Technology. They may also say that they want the Minions to work for them. I am wondering if this is just a coincidence. By choosing a memory chipmaker in the US, they may be seriously and eloquently stating that China wants to be a partner of the US for now.
A few days after the Shanghai Stock Exchange composite index was somewhat recovered following the intervention by the government of China last week, it started slithering down again early this week. So far, the recent announcements about both Tsinghua's bid on Micron Technology and China's GDP growth rate during the last quarter of about 7% haven't had any noticeable impact on its stock price.

Of the announcement that the Chinese government made yesterday or other, the Shanghai stock prices stopped falling today. The Japanese government today announced that the correct GDP growth rate in 2015 was 1.7%, rather than 2.0%.
The ayes of the House of Representatives of Japan have it, a controversial bill to revise the Japan-US Security Treaty in terms of some items regarding the logistic supports, the right of collective self-defense, etc. in which a degree of ambiguity necessarily subsists, so that the ninth article of the Constitution could be arbitrarily and rather contradictorily stretched, has been passed. Because this is a bill with ambiguity, nobody exactly knows where it will lead Japanese to if the House of Councilors also approves it soon. What most Japanese people can do is to guess where the governing parties of Japan and the US will lead them in the cases of future emergencies, within the scope that a coming act would regulate. There is no gainsaying the fact that it's rather slippery.

The outward of the main stadium of the Beijing Olympics 2008 left a favorable impression on me at that time. Its design like a bird's nest is auspicious. It suggests that a giant phoenix in the nest is growing to fly high. On the other hand, the proposed design of the main stadium of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 gave an ominous impression on me. It looks like the bottom of an overturned sunken ship. An architect may say that it's basically designed to be associated with a future spacecraft and the keels of its roof represent the hidden dragon. However, the spacecraft stadium appears to be upside-down. Recently, the piling-up of estimated costs for the construction of the stadium wearing an unfortunate atmosphere has aroused much controversy. According to the news sources, it's roughly eight times as expensive as the other stadiums built for the recent Olympics in foreign countries and twice as expensive as what they originally estimated.

For the basic design of the main stadium of the Tokyo Olympics 2020, a heart shape may be agreeable with current trends. Audiences, sports lovers, and music lovers may be pleased with its design, though they may be able to view its large heart shape as a whole only from a bird's-eye view. It's more desirable if most of them on the indoor seats can recognize their heart shape somehow. Whether its roof is equipped with a heart-shaped retractable skylight or not should hinge upon the budget allowed for it.
Actually, I have found the meaningfulness in the Hiroshima Olympics or the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Olympics, rather than in the 2nd Tokyo Olympics, as written several years ago. To be honest, I am not interested in any other site for the Olympics in Japan at all.

Setting the appropriate goals should be necessary for various organizations in a lively society. In some cases for an organization, however, some challenging goals have to be set deliberately. Because of the nature of the challenge, on the first attempt, some of these goals can't be attained. Most of these may not be fulfilled regrettably. The important point of the matter is what the people and/or their supervisors have to do when they realize that their first challenging trials aren't satisfactory. Supervisors, managers, and executives in all levels of managerial positions have to better the situation by adjusting in some way and/or bringing some new ideas in order to lead their men and women to be successful for the next attempt. Not only demanding a stronger push to attain the goals but also giving some constructive suggestions should be incorporated into the next planning session. The people who are capable of improving the situations and breaking the deadlocks should be promoted in an organization while not placing a special emphasis on the seniority system or other outworn systems. Basically, the social escalator should follow the merit-based system in view of both the technical and managerial achievements.

Someone who always complains of difficulty in accomplishing a challenging task doesn't have to keep being responsible for it. The world is congested with people who are staying responsible for their roles without bringing actual accomplishments and profits. On the other hand, someone who can consistently accomplish challenging tasks in a profession doesn't usually feel much difficulty in it. Although it may be difficult for many others, it isn't difficult for him or her to do. He or she may take a supervisory position to guide others, but whether he or she is suited for supervising others should be a different matter. If he or she excels others in both technical and managerial skills, he or she should climb to a higher position faster than others.

NASA announced that its Kepler telescope detected the most Earth-like planet, namely Kepler-452b, about 1,400 light-year distance from the Earth. It's far away, though, from an astronomical viewpoint, it's only a neighborhood of the Earth. Nobody knows whether any humankind can reach there someday or not. Human space travel to Kepler-452b is an example of a very difficult task. It's impossible at the present time. It can be asserted that, if space travel to either Kepler-452b or another closer Earth-like planet were to come true in the far future, an unmanned spacecraft might go there earlier than a manned one. This is because, by choosing an unmanned spacecraft, the difficulties in traveling on a manned spacecraft at the achievable speed, associated with a long travel time lasting for many generations, the influences of cosmic rays on the crew, and the necessity of some life support systems, may be simply avoided. Even if an extraordinary method to travel in interstellar space beyond the limit set by the theories of relativity, which is most difficult and might be impossible forever, were to be discovered, an unmanned spacecraft would go there earlier for safety reasons. For the purpose of resolving the problems associated with population pressure by immigration to another planet, the conversion of either Mars or Venus into an inhabitable planet is probably easier than the development of an extraordinary method for interstellar travel to an Earth-like planet in the other solar system is, maybe somewhat realistic. Planet engineering may be less extraordinary but still very difficult, as many know.
The reason why I am writing this topic is that it typifies the matter of difficulty. Compared to this, most of the tasks such as the development of a desirable consumer device, the establishment of an effective business model, the settlement of a long-lasting conflict, the conclusion of a peace treaty, etc. can be regarded as trivial. The people who engage in these non-extraordinary tasks shouldn't feel grave difficulty. At least, people don't have to plead repeatedly while staying responsible for the roles because it only daunts them. Unfortunately, because it's much easier to interrupt others with various measures than to complete successfully, there has been much sin by fraudulent people in the world since prehistoric times, as seen in many records.

The recent experimental results at the CERN LHC that determine a small rate of decaying the bottom quark into the up quark support the correctness of the original standard model, according to the AFP. What it amounts to is, that the necessity of Supersymmetry is somewhat weakened. Although my motivation to read Volume III Supersymmetry of the Quantum Theory of Fields, which is the last volume, soon was also rather wobbled, I still want to read it someday. Experimental verification of the standard model with higher accuracy should advance continuously while manifesting some inaccurate points of the theory, but a breakthrough discovery isn't expected in elementary particle physics for the time being.

Minimum sunlight is necessary to stay healthy, and mild suntan looks healthy. However, sunburn doesn't. In order to reduce an accumulation of damage to the skin due to the excess exposure to ultraviolet rays from the cradle, which may cause undesirable incidences of freckles and wrinkles, especially in old age and skin cancer at worst, the regular application of an appropriate amount of sunscreen lotion to the skins with less melanin where the sunlight usually penetrates deep inside should be recommended even to children during the spring and summer seasons. I have seldom used any sunscreen lotion previously, but I sometimes use it recently. Although what color of the skin is favorable is merely a matter of taste, the fashion for whitening the skin is questionable because some of the whitening treatments can be unhealthy.
My teeth were only once bleached using a gel that a dentist prescribed in the US about fifteen years ago. Since then I have never felt any necessity for it again because the daily use of some sort of commercial regular toothpaste may have prevented my teeth from being stained noticeably with tea, red wine, and others.

The following images illustrate a rough idea of the stadium that I designed recently. The first figure is the bird's-eye view of the stadium and the second figure is one of the side views of it (from the bottom of a heart). The roof equipped with a retractable skylight was omitted for the reason to reduce the costs. For the same reason, the design of each construct of this stadium, which is basically three hemispheres and a heart-shaped plate, is intended to be simple, but the layout of these constructs should be unique. Probably, by a large heart-shaped open window of the main stadium, two satellite stadiums adjacent to the main, a wide heart-shape concrete base surrounded by the evergreen botanical garden, and very shiny white-color exterior walls, the design of this stadium may be distinguished from others. The long-lasting shininess of the exterior walls takes shape by the placement of the thin tempered glass plates over the white-painted light metal plates. The main stadium has a large oval-shaped field serving track events and various ball games, and two satellite stadiums can be used for various purposes. Some sports events requiring a smaller playing field may be held at these satellite stadiums. For further cost reduction, both of the two satellite stadiums may also be omitted. In this case, the bird's-eye view of this stadium looks more like the shape of a heart than the face of an owl.

The following images also illustrate the other idea of the stadium that I designed recently. The first figure is the bird's-eye view of this larger stadium and the second figure is one of the side views of it. Like the previous idea, this stadium is equipped with a large heart-shaped open window and very shiny white-color exterior walls. Three possible arrangements of the tracks are indicated inside the heart-shaped field in the first figure. The red dotted (#1) and the green broken (#3) lines indicate the arrangements consisting of a large oval track and a small circle track, and the blue solid (#2) line indicates the arrangement consisting of only a large oval track. The large heart-shaped field can be applicable to various sorts of sports events, by changing it into an oval-shaped field (track events, soccer, etc.) and a fan-shaped field (baseball) through the proper adjustments of the extendable stands that can be stored beneath the main stands, as indicated in the third and fourth figures. The seating capacity of this gigantic stadium can be larger than that of the stadium that was explained yesterday.
