I am so happy. I thought I would not be able to make it though...
Thank you for reducing the number of blogs 75 to 50!

HAWAII

Hawaii is one of the famous sightseeing place and its biggest market for international visitors is Japan. However the number of international visitors is declining. I think it is not only because the economic downturn but also Japanese visitors are used to getting good services in Japan and they just can not satisfied with Hawaiian services.Hawaii need to work hard to get international visitors coming to Hawaii.

BMW

BMW AG said that its net income fell 74 percent in the third quarter as it continued to be affected by the global economic downturn. It reduced its work force by 5.3 percent.I am looking for job right now and because of the global economic downturn it will be very difficult to get a good job. I wish the economy recover as soon as its possible.

Science to'stop age clock at 50'

Centenarians with the bodies of 50-year-old will one day be a realistic possibility, say scientists.I think that's great! In Japan, aging population is growing rapidly in Japan so that if these people can have bodies of 50-year-old they they can work as much as they want to. Well, I guess there are not much people want to work though...
If I were over 50 years old, I definetly do not want to work.

Woman gives birth at 66

A 66-year-old woman gave birth to a baby girl. She had been receiving fertility treatment for almost ten years before being artificially inseminated. I am concerned with this news because I think that She is too old to have a baby. By the time the baby turns to 20, The woman will be over 85 years old. What if the woman passes away before the baby grow up. Well, I understand how the woman feel but I just think She was being selfish. She had other choices such as adapting a baby without going trough high risks.

Briton furious over politician's expenses

British people are expressing their outrage over how much they have to pay for their politicians. I am sick of hearing such corruption. I can not trust them anymore. I think that most of politicians are trying to earn money instead of making our country better. I feel like paying taxes is throwing my money away.

Rent-a-friend

There are some businesses called Rend-a-friend. The friends for rent are professional fakers. They will pretend to be anyone you want them to be. I think that It is sad that people do not have friends but I think if I do not have any friend, I may ask them to be my friends. You know everybody have secrets that they do not want others to know so that I think businesses like Rent-a-friend is one way to seal their secrets.

Sonnets 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.


When I read the sonnet for first time, I thought Shakespeare is jerk. However the last sentence made the sonnet wonderful. His mistress is not beautiful but the best!
How romantic the sonnet is...

Bullfighting

The article was about the Spanish culture. One of the most famous Spanish culture around the　world is Bullfighting. Bullfighting is only held on Sundays during April to October.The bullfighters are professional so that people who want to become a bullfighter need to go a school. A lot of young Spanish children want to be a bullfighter. I really want to see it but there are some death every year and it is very dangerous.

Children into computers younger than ever

I do not want let my children use computers at the age. I think children should play outsides to built their friendship with others and polish their sensibility. Kids need to use computers when they grow up so it is too early to let them use computers. There are many improper websites for children.

Long hours hazardous to health

Working long hours makes workers to injury and illness, regardless of how hazardous or menial the job is. There are many problems in Japan. Recently, I watch a TV news about the man who was working at Mcdonald's died from overwork and his family sued the company for consolation money. That news was very shocking to me. I think that workers need to have more guts to stand up for companies' faults. They have the right to do that.

West With The Night: Flying The Atlantic

Beryl Markham is born in England and moved to Kenya when she was a child. She worked as a trainer and breeder of race horses. She became the first woman to earn a pilot's license in Africa and the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west.She is one of my favorite heroines. I think that at that time women were discriminated by man and were looked down by the society. However she did not give up on her dream. I want to be energetic as much as she was. I want to be a wonderful woman some day.

Traffic' gridlock' as snow falls

The police in South Wales have urged motorists not to travel after snowfall caused severe traffic problems around the M4 and other major routes. In Okinawa there is no snow so that we do not have such problems, but the weather getting weird every year. Last week was freezing cold and this week is getting hot. Is that because of the global warming?

Guantanamo guard reunited with ex-inmate

The former Guantanamo Bay prison guard track down two of his former captives. After 6 months to serve in Iraq, Mr Neely quite the military to become a police officer　and he still struggling to come to terms with his time as a guard at Guantanamo.He wanted to apologize to his former captives. I have seen some recorded videos which people in jails are beaten by US troops on a TV news. I could not believe such things because most of news were like US troops are fighting for peace of Iraq or saving people from al Qaeda. Such stupid US soldiers need to be punished strictly.

Simple, Low-Cost Ways tp cut Risk of an Early Birth

According to the article, each year an estimated thirteen million babies are born too soon and more that one million of them die as a result of their prematurity. Most preterm births take place in Africa and Asia. There are programs in Africa that teach the skin-to-skin method, also known as kangaroo care. Mothers learn to carry preterm babies in front instead of the traditional African way. I think that nowadays the number of preterm babies are increasing in developed countries because women tend to have babies at older ages and use of fertility treatments.

Facial Expressions Are Not Universal

According to the article, East Asians focus mostly on people's eyes to read an emotion, but Europeans and Americans scan whole face. I am not sure about that, but I always feel that actors and actresses seem exaggerating in Holley Wood moves. I think that Asians express their emotion mostly by whole faces and Europeans and American use facial expressions and gestures.

Woman Fired for Using Capital Letters

Vicki Walker, an accountant was fired due to Sending a Email to co-worker with capital letters. I am curious why she did such thing. I think that there is some cultural differences. I do not think using caps is rude. The company needed to consult with her about what she meant by that.

Cinderella

I think every girls thought of becoming a Cinderella when they were little. I had been dreamed that someday I will marry to a man just like the prince when I was a little. I also liked the music.
In Japanese there is a word called " Cinderella time". It means that twelve o clock. The story is one of my favorite.

U.K. Smoking Ban

The British government will ban smoking in most public places to protect public health and reduce the number of illness and premature deaths caused by secondhand smoke. I think the idea is amazing for me but probably not for smokers. Cigarettes have no good for our health. The idea will help not only nonsmokers but also a lot of smokers who want to quite smoking.

Food companies targeting kids online

Food companies are ensnaring children into the net of consumerism. Some companies focuses its ads more than on enticing kids with cheap, giveaway toys than food. Now such industry has too big to stop so that parents need to be very careful about what their children eat everyday. Children love junk foods and candies which make no good to their health. It is responsible for parents to take care kids' eating habits and health conditions.
