「Dairy of the dead」を観にいきました！

 

どうも、こんにちは。

バンコクに住んでいるshaです。

 

昨日、Paragonというバンコクの大型ショッピングセンターにある映画館に

「Dairy of the dead」を観にいきました。

感想は、It was so glosでした。

 

ストーリーとしては、ジェイソン・クリードという欧米人が

あるホラー映画「Dead of the Dead」というタイトルのものを

撮影してたときに事件は起こってしまった。

彼はどんな状況になっても必死でカメラを回し続け、現在起こっている状況を

伝えるために仲間さえも危険にさらしながらカメラを手放さない。

彼が伝えたいものは何なのか。

 

撮影としては、非常に新感覚の撮影になっていて、

本当にハンドメイド感があります。

特に手の込んだメイクやゾンビの斬新な動き等

見所は沢山あります。また、有名俳優は出ていないので

俳優・女優の力ではなく、脚本・撮影・それぞれのキャスティング等

本来あるべき映画監督の腕の見せ所を除かせた作品だった。

 

ストーリーは、バイオハザードの1を思い浮かべてくれればいいと思います。

とにかくゾンビが出てきて、それにかまれたり引っかかれたりすると感染し

ゾンビが繁殖していきます。

そして、最終的には仲間までもゾンビ化し、彼らの手を彼らの仲間を射止めて

しまう。

そんな悲惨な中でもジェイソンはカメラを止めないのはなぜなのか！！

 

私達に問いかけたかったものとは、今起こっていることをそのままありのまま映し

それを伝える、これがそれが解決策につながるかもしれないという

かれの信念と情熱が描いたストーリーである。

現在も情報というのは、コントロールされており真実を掴み取るのには

非常に困難だ。しかし、誰かがこうやって真実を伝えれるような仕組みは

有効である。最後に彼は、インターネット上で動画や情報を簡単にアップロードできる

ことについても非常に危険性を訴えている場面がある。

 

 

 

 

 

どうも。こんにちは。

 

私は、タイランドの首都バンコクで働いている若造です。

ところで、最近若い人が日本以外で働きたいというケースが多く感じます。

 

私自身日本で正社員として働いたことはないのですが、よくお聞きするのが、日本で働くと寿命を削っているとか、自分の時間が持てないとか、

でも、仕事の厳しさ、ノウハウなどを身に着けるのはいいところとか色々聞きます。

みなさんは日本で働くことにポジティブですか？それともネガティブですか？

 

そもそも私は、なぜ海外で働いているかといいますと、大きく分けて2つあります。

まず一つは、語学面です。

語学というのは、若ければ若いほど身につきやすいといわれています。

なので、普通に日本で就職して、語学を五感フルに使って習得するのは、難しいと感じました。

特に、TOEICなどのテストでいい点をとるようにするというのではなく、どちらかというと

実践で使える語力を習得したかったのです。

 

二つ目には、色々な海外の人たちと一緒に働き、生活したかったことです。

国には国の文化、習慣、言語などがあります。

そういった新しい文化に触れることで、また違った考え方が出来るようにしたかったのです。

特に、これからはビジネスをする上でも、生活していく上でも多角的にものごとを考えなければ

ならない時代です。

日本はおそらく人口も減少していますので、これから外国人労働者を受け入れなければならない。

そのときに、今からそれらに対応できるDNAを植え付けておく必要があると思ったのです。

 

要は、いかにいい経験をするかということにつきると思います。

苦い、悪い経験についてもいつかそれを学習し、成功へ導く糧になるかもしれません。

社会人なんて、無茶したところで会社くびぐらいですむ世界です。

昔なんて、組織にはむかうようなことをすれば、本当に首を飛ばされるような世界もあったと

思います。それに比べれば今はそれ程挑戦するときも覚悟はいらないのかもしれません。

 

最後に、挑戦という言葉をあげてきましたが、それを実行に移すには、アクションを起こさなければなりません。

要は考えていることを、実際に行動へ移すということです。

まずは、一歩踏み出すことから始めることが重要ですね。

No matter how someone has good talent, if they lost their health,

they cannot accomplish their job. Their talent won't be utilized.

After all, what is important things to be healthly are like getting a nutrition,

taking a rest, particularｌy having a strong sprit.

These are those who work at the risk of their life.

They won't be tired and get sick in a busy time.

US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has said the inflation outlook for the country is "highly uncertain".

And he said that rising prices, coupled with the effects of the credit crunch, had given the US economy a battering. (引き締め、逼迫)Crungh,Battering(株の暴落)

Mr Bernanke, speaking to a Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, said Fed policy makers had to preserve price stability.

US prices rose by 5.6% in the year to July, the fastest inflation rate since 1991, recent figures showed.Preserve(保存する、保護する)

Inflation watch

Mr Bernanke told delegates at the high-profile economics conference that there had been "some improved functioning in some markets".

However, he said that "the financial storm that reached gale force" around this time last year "has not yet subsided, and its effects on the broader economy are becoming apparent in the form of softening economic activity and rising unemployment".

There were some positives though, as Mr Bernanke pointed out that declines in commodity prices and stability in the dollar were encouraging signs.

The Fed, he said, would monitor the situation closely and "act as necessary" to make sure that inflation did not get out of hand.

Meanwhile, investment guru Warren Buffett said that stocks are "more attractive" than a year ago.

Regulation

Much of Mr Bernanke's speech addressed the need for the US financial system to be more resilient to future economic shocks.    Resilient(弾力性のある、回復力のある)

assess(評価する、見積もる、判断する、査定する)assess improvement(改善を評価する)assess in accurate detail(正確かつ詳細に評価する)

He suggested that regulators in future should assess the health of the entire financial system, rather than the condition of individual banks, Wall Street investment firms or other financial companies - as is the case at present.

"Such an approach would appear well justified as our financial system has become less bank-centred," he said.

"Some caution is in order, however, as this more comprehensive approach would be technically demanding and possibly very costly both for the regulators and the firms they supervise," he added.

The statement came amid renewed concerns over the financial health of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or back more than half of all US mortgages.

Their share prices have fallen this week amid new rumours that the pair are to be the subject of a government bailout. (脱出、救済、緊急援助)

Oil prices have tumbled to seven-week lows amid concerns that the slowing US economy will weaken demand.

tumble(下落)　amid(～の最中に、に囲まれて)　assess(算定する、評価する、査定する)

US sweet, light crude fell $2.23 to settle at $123.26 a barrel - more than $20 off their peak earlier in July, when prices reached a record $147.27.

Brent crude in London also fell, dropping $1.92 to $124.52.

The oil market has been volatile as traders assess whether there will be enough supply to meet demand, with some predicting further price falls.

Analysts at Lehman Brothers predict oil prices could drop below $100 by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

But others are sceptical. (疑問を抱く、懐疑的である)skeptical about(～に疑問を抱く、懐疑的である)

sample; skeptical about the legitimacy of him.(彼の正当性を疑う)

"Nothing in the fundamental drivers has changed," said Harry Tchilinguirian, an oil analyst at BNP Paribas.

Volatile market

Since last September, traders have been betting that the need for oil from economies, such as China, would continue to power the demand for oil.

Earlier this month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) upgraded its economic forecasts for these countries.

At the same time, tensions between politically unstable oil-producing nations and the West sparked fears that supply would be constrained.

The weakening US currency has also encouraged investors to switch into commodities, which have been seen as a more attractive investment as the US economy falters.

A slight rebound in the dollar after a smaller-than-expected decline in new housing sales helped to give oil prices some relief, analysts said.

Golf

 

Yesterday, I paticipated in Golf competition in our company. It was not player.

It was as a camera man.

I was very suprised couse never taken a photos such as this situation.

But it was president's order, so I just had to do it.

 

Morning of playig golf is quite early and there are lot of sttufs to prepare.

My boss came to pick me up and went to the golf place called Loyal Lake Side which

was very famous in Thailand.

 

When playing golf, usually it comes to a cady to take our golf drivers. today I was a person as a camera man.

But cady and mini car were prepared for me and the competition started.

 

First of all, I took the picture which everyone gathered to one place.

They have 5 groups and each person got each oponents.

These teams was devided into Thai  and Japanese.

Everyone's driver shots were quite nice, so it was a good start.

 

We had 18 courses they had 3per , 4per and 5per.

What is the nicest angle is to take a picture from player's back in per 3.

I can take whole player's shot and their distination flag.

Probably I took these photos more than 100 picture.

 

Patar shots was also nice atracted me.

When shotting the pater, everyone think well and predict the way to the hole.

Sometimes they were nervious but when got the hole, gave me a lot of smiles.

In this space , I can feel like there were 2 conponent tension and concentration.

 

It came to the ends, everyone looked very tired.

But they have each situation someone got continued the nice game and other people already lost in advance.

 

This game started from 11am and ended to 17pm.

Of course next was dinner and to be continued to midnight.....

It has passed  2  weeks since I have started to work in Thailand.

I could reunderstand that I got experinced to live in foriengn countries and it is not so difficult for me.

My environmental adaptability is getting better.

What is the most important to live in foreign countries is to get local information.

Of course, we can use Internet easily and look up it by some books.

But sometimes it's useless and workless.

When I was staying in NZ, we could see Internet cafe aound the city and use it.

But it was not real information, so I reliazed that the information form people was

that one.

For instance, it was for advertisement for Flat information, some event, nice place and so on...

Until I could catch English, I taught with Japanese freinds.

Some people said that if you are always in Japanses group, it is not good for you because

that could be caused the situation you cannot study English.

I thought that was right.

But, I didn't want to leave these friiends on purpose.

Becase they were quite nice and they gave me a lot of things I have never experienced .

 

Fortunately, I can continue to get in touch with them

and we always share our experience.

I think human being have a tendation to compete with other and this lead to a synasy each other.

We are in information-generation and we need to utilize these tool to develop our future.

 

 

 

 

 

Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer formaly withdrew(手を引く、撤退する、撤収する) the offer in a letter to Yahoo cheif executive Jerry Yang.

Mr, Ballmer said Microsoft had raised its original offer from $44.6bn to $47.5bn-$33 per share.

 

But he added that Yahoo had insisted on at liast $53bn, or $37 a share - more than Microsoft was prepared to pay.

The software gaint had wanted to do a deal to be able to compete with Google, which dominates the lucrative(金になる、利益の上がる、儲かる) market for internet advertising.

 

This market was worth $40bn in 2007 and is predicted to double to $80 bn by 2010.

In his letter to Mr Yang which has been posted on the Microsoft website, MrBallmer said ;' We continue to beleive that our proposed acqusition made sense(意味をなす、道理にかなう、当然絵ある) for Microsoft , Yahoo and the market as a whole.

 

'Dispite our best efforts, including raising our bid by roughly $5bn, Yahoo has not moved toward accepting our offer.

'After careful considerration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal.'

 

Mr Ballmer also told Yahoo's boss that he would not pursue（追いかける、追求する、続ける、達成しようとする） his original plan B of launching a hostile takeover battle, because Mr Yang would 'take steps that would make Yahoo undesirable(好ましくない人、魅力のない、) as an aquuisition for Microsoft.'

Mr Ballmer told his own employees that Microsoft would achieve its goals without Yahoo, albeit at a slower pace.

Yahoo maintain that Microsoft had offered too little to buy the company.

In a statement issued after Microsoft's withdrawal ' Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock dismissed the unsolicited(要求されていない、未承諾の) bid as a 'distaraction'

 

Microsoft's shares closed on Friday virtually unchanged at $2924. Yahoo's shares were $1.85 higher at $28.67 amid expectations of a higher Microsoft offer.

The BBC's Peter Bowes says analysts believe the breakdown in talks may have an adverse affect on Yahoo shares and generate uncertainty among invertors about the company's management.

 

 

Spam-the sourge of every e-mail inbox - celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend.

 

The first recognisable e-mail marketing message was sent on 3 May, 1978 to 400 people on behalf of DEC - a now defunct(機能していない、存在していない)  computer - maker.

The message was sent via Arpanet - the internet's forerunner(先駆者、前兆) - and won its sender much criticism from recipients(受領者)

 

.Thirty years on, spam has grown into an underground industry that sends out billions of messages every day.

Statistics gathered by the FBI suggest that 75% of net scams snare(捕らえる、人を誘惑してだます) people through junk e-mail . In 2007 these cons（詐欺) netted criminals more than $239m.

Statistics suggest that more than80%-85% of all e-mail is spam or junk and more than 100billion spam messages are sent every day.

 

The majority of these messages are being sent via hijacked home computers that have been compromised by a computer virus.

 

The sender of the fist junk e-mail message was Gary Thuerk and it was sent to advertise new additions to DEC's family of System - 20 minicomputer.

It invited the recipients , all of whom were on  Arpanet and lived on the west coast of the US, to go to one of two presentations showing off the capabilities of

the System - 20.

 

Reaction to the message was swift(敏速な、即座の), with compaints reportedly coming from the US Defense Communications agency, which oversaw Arpanet, and took Mr Thuerk's boss to tas about it.

 

Despite MrThuerks pioneering spam it took many years for unsolicited(未承諾、) commercial e-mail to became a nuisance(迷惑、不愉快、妨害).

It took until 1993 before it won the name of spam. a name bestowed on it by Joel Furr - an administrator

on the Usenet chat system.

Mr Furr reputedly got his inspiration for the name from a Monty Python sketch set in a restaurant whose menu heavily featured the processed meat.

The sketch set in a restaurant whose menu heavily featured the processed meat

The sketch ended with everyone in the restaurant , encouraged by a troupe of chanting Vikings, shouting; 'Spam, Spam,Spam,Spam'

 

April 1994 saw another pioneering moment in the history of spam when imigration lawyers Center

and Siegel sent a commercial spam message to more than 6000 Usenet discussion groups.

 

The canter and Siegel e-mail is widely sennd as themoment when the commercialisation of the net began and opened the floodgates that led to the deluge of spam

seen today.

 

Since those days spam gas grown to be a nuisance and is now used by many hi-tech crime gangs as the vehicle for variety of scams(悪徳商法、詐欺、) and cons.

Spam is burden(負担、荷物、重責) on all of us, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos,

What's worse is that a lot of spam is deliberately(わざと、故意に、意図的に) malicious(意地の悪い、悪意のある) today,aiming to steal your bank account information or install malware(灰工作ソフト、マルウェア).

Microsoft has yet to decide if it will up its $41.8bn(21bn) bid（入札） for Yahoo, go hostile or walk away from the deal. hostile aquisition(敵対的買収)

A meeting of the Microsoft board on Wednesday ended without any decision, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Microsoft had given its rival until 26 April to accept its bid, which Yahoo has said is inadequate.

Buying Yahoo would be the biggest aquistion in Microsoft's history and would give it a ig boost in its battle with market leader Google.

 

Microsoft, which is still expected to make an announcement on the deal by the end of this week, has three options.

Steve Ballmer, the software giant's chief executive has threatened to take the bid hostile and nominate directors to replace Yahoo's board.

Alternatively, it could walk away from the deal but hints that this may happen have been dismissed(解任、解雇、解散) by most analysts as negotiating tactics.

Withdrawing(手を引く、身を引く、撤収する、撤退する) the bid could send Yahoo shares lower. The stock has jumped from $19.18 before the bid was announced in February to $27.41.

The value of the cash and stock offer has dropped from $31 per share or $44.6bn to $29.06 or $41.8bn, as Microsoft shares have fallen.

Microsoft may up(上昇する、上昇させる、) its bid from $31 o $33 per share, but Yahoo might have. They say that while it makes strategic sense, Yahoo comes with a high price tag.

Last week , Mirosoft reported an 11% fall in quarterly profits to $.39bn in the three months to 31 March , from $4.93bn a year earlier. The results were in line with expectations.

Microsofts online services saw a 40% rise in sales to $843m in the quarter, but its online sales still fall far behind Google.

We put away information we got consciously(意識的に） as well as computer do. How we can do is to conceptualize（概念化する） and abstract（抽象化） these information. These information should be processed what you were seeing and reconstracted according to your own thought and way. When overflowing information you got, you may be broken down relevant information into several categories. Also, if you get some new information, you may create some folder in your head.This repeating is the habit to get the essential qualities of information. Always put the customized information with their own way and image it with five senses. Finally, you reconfirm the information and correct it.

These work is quite similar with computers but there is a huge difference between them. We tend to forget something important sometimes, however if getting accustomed to, we may rebirth to new person who is more brilliant.

Japan is depending on mainly imports from other counties for fuel and raw material.

Appreciation of the yen and crude oil amount lead to stock down and accoding to the above reason,

Japanese economy is negatively affected.

But why every news are anounced the negative things even if these things are surely ture.

 

What is the problem is that crude oil exceeded 100 dollars a barrel and appreciation of yen has entered 102.

These matters cause stock down. That is, exceed of crude oil is nagatively affected to small and medium-suzed enterprise which

are depending on it for living.

Seemingly, though it might be corrected if it sees individually respectively, it stands to reasons.

Isn't appreciation of the yen a plus factor the side obviously imported?If crude oil goes up by 5%, and yen went up at the same time by 5%,

too the import price in the yen base is counterbalanced and becomes even.

Both two negative factor always lead to badly Japanese economy. It is wrong to understand at once if it thinks

calmly.

Of course, these matter are true and everyone needs to accept them, but some solutions are indicated to avoid it from economics person, person related

to government and critic.

The problem is the first ideal way of the atomosphere of Japan only to such a minus idea including media.

When translating business changes in Japanese, it is wrriten 「景気」

「気」 means including human's vigor and feeling. Continuing minus broadcastings, everyone's feeling may work negatively.

We have to think positively and find some solutions.

 

 

Living in Japan for a long time, foreign people can feel something strenge when they talk with Japanese.

That is called Honne and Tatemae. There are some reason why they use it even though it sometimes makes troubles.

Japanese people have the way of thinking which is group-oriented and when people speak and talk something, they usually watch other people

because talking different things compeard with others is shameful behaviour and it makes the person isolated.

Accoding to historcal matter, it is related with the policy of prohibiton of Edo which is banned Chiristianity. To enforce them Togugawa

Shogunate created a policy called 「Goningumi」, so people had to watch others behaviour not to be religious.

This matter is just one reason to explain it but it is greatly influenced.

On the other hand, these habit have the aspect of respect and humble. When people usually express thier oponion, firstly they listen

humbly something from speaker. After doing it, they ask some questions and give thier opinion to them.

Thorough the staying in the other countries, I could feel the gap of way of thinking between Japanese and Western people.

In addition, I could find the difference in Asian people and they are quite different even thoough we are very close  when we see from geography.

To sum up, we need to talk with different countries people to reduce the gap of way of thinking.

And it is necessary to think and act standing in other party's standpoint.

 

Environment could be decided our distiny, or our will could be decided our future. This sentense is quite useful even though it has been 21century.

I think that NewZealand is one of most confortable and effective place to spend time when we rethink our life and face some difficulties and problems.

Also, there are a lot of beautiful nature and amazing places to visit there.

If you go out the city of Auckland where is the biggest in NZ, you can find something new.

Auckland is called 'Sail of the city' and most people have thier own sailboat.

Kiwi people has good personalities and charactors and they like slow life, so they can afford to have time such as spending with their family and going to a beach to watch sunset.

So, when going to a beach, you can see the people who are enjoying.

I often go to the beach to excerise and I spent some time to talk them. I always recieved a warm welcome.

Having spent my life in NewZealand, I could have found some Japanese who has been stayed there.

I think there is a huge different to live between Japan and NewZealand and they are opposite.

It effects the fundamental way of their life and thought.

I could find like a positive thinking from Kiwi and they can enjoy their life from the bottom of thier heart.

Only making money is just not our llife and sometimes we have to pass the hard way and indirect way.

NewZealand is the place to do it.
