Qite a few people are agree with President Obama's decision to send a battleship to South China Sea.

Friday, October 30, 2015

It seems that some international xourt will judge about souther China sea problem but maybe China won’t respect the judgement because China always believe they are 100% right.

I took the entrance exam to the University of Kyoto 7 times and these are the admission tickets.

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

My students have to choose the schools they would like to enter because the entrance exam is coming up.

It seems that an American battleship is around island near Philipin.  It is now occupied by Red China.  What will come next?

 We have been under recession for a long time but it seems that we are going out of it.

Young Japanese students don’t like TV program these days.  They like Youtube better in general.

  Japanese goverment made a new law maybe to prepare for Chinese invasion.  We don’t know this is good or not yet.

Friday, October 23, 2015

These days in Japan, President Obama is not popular because we cannot trust him.  It seems he won’t fight with China when China invades our country although we have a treaty.
  Is  Mr.Putin so popular in Russia?  These days Japanese TV program tells us he is so popular among Russian people.  Maybe because his image is a strong man who fights with the U.S.  Is that true?

I'm running my own school in central Japan.  Competition among jnior highs and senior highs is very keen.  That is why my school has many students.  They have to learn hard to pass the entrance exam.

A famous handsome Japanese actor got married and many Japanese girls are disappointed.  But why?  He has nothing to do with them.

  When I was in Utah, a boy in calss asked me "Did Japanese people get mad at dropping an atomic bomb?"  I still think about it after 30 years.

 Now TV program tells us that we still have a lot of fraud using phones.  Suddenly a phone rings and it says "I'm --(son's name) .  I have run a woman and I need money to compensate immediately." or something like that.  Then his mother or grandmother rushes to a bank and transfer money to a certain account.  Very bad.

 Why is it difficult just to live in peace?  I believed that I was smarrt enough when I was a child.  But it seems thiat is not true.  I got divorced and I failed to give happy family life to my children.

It is fine today here in central Japan.  Today is Sunday and I have classes in the morning.  I don't like Japanese church and don't want to go.  Most members are lazay, poor and not intellectual.  They have a hard time in general and seem to believe that is not their fault but government's.  I don't like this way of thinking.  In Utah, a few people might think that way but most of them were different.



World heritage or something like that.   Nanking massacre?  Chinese government says Japanese soldiers killed more than all the population in Nanking at that time and Unesco accepts such a lie.  This trouble is originated from Tokyo in and around 1945.  American people did it. 
 Recently I've often thought about Utah's life I had 1n 1982.  It's a long time ago but my memory is very clear.  Since I'm living in a rural area in central Japan, my daily life has nothing to do with American people.
  I miss Logan and Provo.  Are my host family members fine?  I want such an information.

I love this toy.
I used to go to Yokkaichi senior high school.  At that time, we had a female student from Australia.  It was around 1973.  Her name was Jenifer Oppie or something like that.  We went to Kyushu on a school trip.  Does anyone know her ?


  I graduated from this university.  Nagoya University.  So I know in and around Nagoya.  If you need some information about central Japan, I can tell you such an information.

  My correspondent course students are from Hokkaido to Kyushu.  If you are living in a foreign country, check my school using the word "Takagi Shigemi" my name.  You can easily find my school's homepage and Japanese version blog.  You can also enjoy my Youtube motion pictures.

How China's military buildup threatens the US

As China continues to pour billions into its massive military buildup, a pressing concern is its territorial ambitions in the South China Sea. Within the next two weeks the Pentagon is expected to send U.S. Navy warships to the area that will steam past China's artificial South China Sea islands in the first direct challenge to China's claims in the region.
The stakes are high, and the U.S. naval action could drive them higher still. Trillions in global seaborne trade transit the South China Sea each year (including roughly $1.2 trillion in goods bound for U.S. ports), but the vast majority of East Asia's energy resources pass through the Strait of Malacca and South China Sea as well.
  Governor of Okinawa object to American base.  Majority doesn't like his attitude because we are now threatened aroud Okinawa by Chinese battleship.

  When I sent my resume to 7 major schools in Nagoya before coming home from Utah, I got no response, which meant I lost my job.  In my view, it must be easy for me to find a job because at that time we had a few English teachers who studied abroad.  But I was wrong.
   Teachers major schools wanted were those who had a wellknown certificate like Step test, which is not known except Japan.  This was ridiculous.  However I had no choice and had to start preparing for the test.

   I love eel.  However these days it is very expensive in Japan because they say it is almost extinct.  This is 17 dollars.

Are you interested in math?  This is what I taught today.  10th grade level in Japan.  Even if you cannot read Japanese language, math sign is the same all over the world, isn't it?



まず、”√2”が無理数の時、以下のような事実が
成り立ちます。これを利用します。

”p、q:実数”とすると、”p+q・(√2)=0”が成り
立つのは”p=q=0”の時に限ります。また、この逆
も成り立ちます。

”a、b、c:整数”なので、これらの任意の組み合わせの
加減乗除の結果は必ず”実数”になります。

”x²-2x-1=0”の解を”α”とすると、これを解いて、
”x=1+√2、1-√2”より、”α=1+√2”とします。
”α²=(1+√2)²=3+2√2”です。

”(a+5α)(b+5cα)=1”の左辺を展開します。
ab+5・(ca+b)・α+25c・α²=1、これに
”α=1+√2”、”α²=3+2√2”を代入し、整理します。

ab+5・(ca+b)・α+25c・α²
=ab+5・(ca+b)・(1+√2)+25c・(3+2√2)
=ab+5・(ca+b)+(5√2)・(ca+b)+75c+50c・(√2)
=1

よって、以下のようになります。
(ab+5ca+5b+75c-1)+(5ca+5b+50c)・(√2)=0
・・・①

①がまさに、”p+q・(√2)=0”の形になっています。
よって、①が成り立つには、以下のようになっていなくてはいけません。
ab+5ca+5b+75c=1 ・・・②
5ca+5b+50c=0 ・・・③

③より、b=-ca-10c ・・・③’、③’を②に代入します。
ab+5ca+5b+75c
=a・(-ca-10c)+5ca+5・(-ca-10c)+75c
=-ca²-10ca+5ca-5ca-50c+75c
=-ca²-10ca+25c=1
よって、c・(a²+10a-25)=-1 ・・・④

④より、”c”、”a²+10a-25”が共に整数になる組み合わせは
以下の2通りしかありません。

”c=1、a²+10a-25=-1”の時、
a²+10a-24=(a+12)(a-2)=0、よって、a=-12、2
これらと”c=1”を③’に代入して、直ちに、b=2、-12
よって、(a,b,c)=(-12,2,1)、(2,-12,1)

”c=-1、a²+10a-25=1”の時、
a²+10a-26=0、この二次方程式の解は明らかに、整数には
なりません。よって、不適です。

”α=1-√2”、”α²=(1-√2)²=3-2√2”の場合も、上記と
全く同様に、以下のようになります。
ab+5・(ca+b)・α+25c・α²
=ab+5・(ca+b)・(1-√2)+25c・(3-2√2)
=ab+5・(ca+b)-(5√2)・(ca+b)+75c-50c・(√2)=1
(ab+5ca+5b+75c-1)+{-(5ca+5b+50c)}・(√2)=0

 Some of my students are really smart.  They are smart enough to be able to pass the entrance exam to the University of Kyoto.  So I have to study hard to teach them.  I teach not only English but also math of high school level.  I love this teaching job.

Big Mac is about 3 dollars in Japan.  Is this reasonable?
  These days, the books that speak ill of Korea and China are selling very well in Japan because we know both of these countries are trying to spread false history about Japan. 
When I was around 26, Jacky Chen (I don't know how to spell his nameI came to Japan and I was in the same TV show with him.  It was maybe around 1978 or so.

 my school
 I was teaching junior highs and senior highs math and English today, too.  It seems they are enjoying autum festival or something like that.  But have nothing to do with it.  I don't like my neighbours.

  Actually it was much more fun to live in Logan Utah.  Although they say we have the freedom of speech, we don't.  We  have some taboo.  When I got married, my wife's mother doubted that my parents' are from people who are strongly discriminated against.

  This is ridiculous because such a story is from our feudal times.  Everyone can know some of American are racists.  However it is not so clear in Japan because people don't say such a thing except they get married or try to find a job.

  I don't like this.

Petitioning Director-General of UNESCO and International Advisory Committee

We protest against China’s application to register ‘Nanking Massacre' and 'Comfort Women issue' to the UNESCO Memory of the World as historical facts.

(Japanese 日本語版オンライン署名はこちらをご覧ください⇒http://goo.gl/8JySJb)
What would you do if someone was spreading rumors around town that your grandfather had committed an inhumane crime? Self-serving lies that show contempt for others are wicked are intolerable and should not be overlooked by society at large.
Today, China has been trying to spread these kinds of lies about Japan on a global scale. This June, the Chinese government announced that it had applied for registration of documents relating to the so-called “Nanking Massacre” and “Comfort Women Issue” to be included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
However, these two matters are not historical facts. The ‘Nanking Massacre’ is an issue China has been claiming that the Japanese army slaughtered 300,000 Chinese people including civilians during the Battle of Nanking in 1937. However, the population of Nanking back then was about 200,000, and civilians had already been evacuated to safe area when the Japanese army entered. Therefore, China’s claim that 300,000 people were massacred is simply groundless. Furthermore, according to recent research, it was revealed that the photographs used for evidence were fabricated.
The comfort women issue refers to the claims that, during World War II, the Japanese Army forcibly rounded up many women in countries such as today’s South Korea and transported them to work in battle fields. However, no investigations so far have found any documents that back up assertions of such coercion. Even the major Japanese newspaper, The Asahi Shimbun, announced on their 2014 August 5 morning edition that they removed their article published in the 1980’s and early 1990’s based on testimony that was considered to be one of the grounds of proof for the comfort women issue. The testimony was that a former Japanese soldier, who is said to have revealed the forcible transportation of women, admitted that this too was a fabrication. The Asahi Shimbun admitted that there was no evidence to back claims made. Thus, Nanking Massacre and Comfort Women issue are not historical facts.
China’s attitude toward other countries is nothing but pure disrespect. Do not allow false history to be admitted as a fact and left for future generations. The falsification is against UNESCO’s objective: “Peace must be established on the basis of humanity’s moral and intellectual solidarity.” We strongly request for UNESCO and IAC, the international cultural agency, to not authorize the fabricated history, but to make a correct decision based on global justice and reject the application from China.
 The decision will be made after being deliberated by the International Advisory Committee (IAC) in the middle of 2015. If you agree with our cause, please support us with your signature.  Your signature will add valuable power to defend what is right in this world. Let’s work together to build a free and peaceful world based on the Truth.

    These days we have a lot of foreign visitors in Japan.  As a Japanese who can use English and has a national license of a tour guide, I might be able to give some information about Japan.  I'm living around the central part of Japan.  The nearest big city is Nagoya.  I graduated from the University of Nagoya.

  Now I'm teaching junior highs and senior hights math and English at my own school.  It's an after-school. 
 
I was in Utah State in 1982 as a junior high exchange teacher.
