[PolitiC@Sekai] NYT cut the speach of the president Mori on their article to mislead their readers.

これはテレビがあるからやりにくいんだが、女性理事を4割というのは文科省がうるさくいうんですね。だけど女性がたくさん入っている理事会は時間がかかります。これもうちの恥を言いますが、ラグビー協会は今までの倍時間がかる。女性がなんと10人くらいいるのか今、5人か、10人に見えた（笑いが起きる）5人います。　女性っていうのは優れているところですが競争意識が強い。誰か1人が手を挙げると、自分も言わなきゃいけないと思うんでしょうね、それでみんな発言されるんです。結局女性っていうのはそういう、あまりいうと新聞に悪口かかれる、俺がまた悪口言ったとなるけど、女性を必ずしも増やしていく場合は、発言の時間をある程度規制をしておかないとなかなか終わらないから困ると言っていて、誰が言ったかは言いませんけど、そんなこともあります。　私どもの組織委員会にも、女性は何人いますか、7人くらいおられますが、みんなわきまえておられます。みんな競技団体からのご出身で国際的に大きな場所を踏んでおられる方々ばかりです。ですからお話もきちんとした的を得た、そういうのが集約されて非常にわれわれ役立っていますが、欠員があるとすぐ女性を選ぼうということになるわけです。

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say *LOL*

Ito Shunsuke
