HK: Degital Contents Gateway?

What???? I found the today article in Nikkei: Seminar 再生と創造性 No 15 デジタルコンテンツ　香港がゲートウェイに。HK was so famous of distributing counterfeiting contents. So, copyright holders such as Microsoft has a big combat group in HK. But this article said that HK can become a HUB of degital contents industry because HK is the gateway of growing mainland China. It has the agent feature as international trade base, the show window feature which has the power to collect customers, and the fund raising feature as international finance city. I did not totaly agree with this view (only look at China market) This article also has SWOT analysis(I did not agree much this analysis) Strengh: competitive price. Weakness: Lack of professional engineer, experience etc Opportunity: Online game/ Mobile game Threat: copyright infringement/ small company

ECONOMIC: Adam Smith

Today's article in Nikkei: Keizai Kyositsu is great. Most impressive part is スミスは、道徳感情論のなかで、人間の中に賢明さと弱さがあることを認めた。賢明さとは自分の心の中にある、利害関心のない「公平な観察者」の判断に従って行動することで、「弱さ」とは自分の利害や世評に左右されて行動すること。弱さに含まれる利己心は個人と社会の原動力になり得るが、そのためには、これが賢明さ、特に正義によって制御されなければならなかった。 とし、 英国が弱さにとわられることをやめ、賢明さに基づいて行動することにより、英国と他国が秩序と繁栄に向け全身できることを示したと記載している。 Why I feel impressed? I feel that this thought also apply my current positon of career development. Yes, Money & title are the motivations to move on, but I really agree that the fair ovserber's point of view are now required.

COSMETIC: UNO

Only cosmetic I use is GEL and my favorate brand is UNO super hard gelt: http://www.shiseido.co.jp/uno/ My value of UNO is i) to oraganize my very strong short hair and ii) not to have any white things come out even after having that GEL. Men tends to become very dedicated customer and that's actually I am. Very high swithing hardle and but if they are pesuade to change, they stick to that product. Why I wrote this? Today I found the article about UNO renewal. I have never thought about why UNO is the best and never did comparison analysis. 2007/8/14

MOVIE: CASINO ROYALE

My apartment jsut bought this on my request. And now finish watching this. James Bond is my ideal man and Daniel Craig, New James Bond is the closest man to myself (I know it is still very far from him in reality but compartively). Maybe that's why I was totally satisfied with Casino Royale. But bonus disc: Bonds Girls are forever. You can find the types of bond girl are changing from 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s... In 60s when Marilyn Monroe was so popular, the sexy and elotic lady are ideal actress but First 007 movie "Doctor No" shows the girls who has the stronger will and more active. http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~h-takeda/JDNMain.htm In thunderbolt, you can find the girl on the bad side. she can drive, shoot and very aggressive. http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~h-takeda/JTBMain.htm In 60s, bond girl is sexcy and is having freedom. In 70s, bond girl is more self-assertive, confident, take charge of herself. Diamond forever, http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~h-takeda/JDFMain.htm But after Roger Moore become new bond, the bond girl is weaker. Bond is more physically aggressive. In 1979, moonlaker changes the position of bond girl. Now bond girl is intelligent and can handle everything like bond. http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~h-takeda/JMRMain.htm In 80s when Timocy dolton is 007, the bond girls are different: Musician/ CIA person. But movie said that these two works takes a half step into 90s. In 1995, when pierce brosnan is 007, now bond girl is the equal posion of 007. More show up. Now bond girl is positioned as more cool girl. But Sophie Marceau is so beautiful and attractive @ The World Is Not Enough. BTW, I made my suit @ BATAK (J.B model: James Bond model). http://norigueira.exblog.jp/5922765

Lumbago Consulting

2007/8/7 @ Tokyo Midtown Clinic. Learning: My body structure Which part of my body should be stretched and exercised. Lumbago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbago ◇ 腰痛 http://www.kenkozaidan.or.jp/healthy/strechi/strechi.html 　病的なものを除いた一般的な腰痛は、腰椎の前彎が増すことが原因で引き起こされるといわれています。骨盤と大腿骨の間の筋肉、下背部の筋肉、胸の筋肉が疲労して短縮すると腰椎を前へ前へと押し出す結果になります。特に骨盤と大腿骨の間の筋肉と下背部の筋肉の疲労は直接腰椎を前へ押しだし腰痛の直接の原因となります。　腰痛はストレッチ運動で予防することができます。 First time I learnt that Fukushiki Kokyu helps curing Lumbago http://dream-osteopathy.ameblo.jp/entry-d35a6e4a61e145685a60281ef46576a5.html ＜目的＝腹筋群の筋緊張を取る＞腹筋呼吸　　腹筋呼吸とは、腹筋群を主に使う呼吸法です。　　意識して行なう必要があります。＜やり方＞　　①始めに息を吐けるだけ吐きます。（お腹をへこませます）　　　お腹をへこませると、横隔膜が押し上げられ空気が出て行きます。　　②吸うのは自然にまかせます。カラになった肺に自然に空気が入ります。＜どんな人がやるべきか＞　　①腹筋が衰えている人。　　②腰痛がある人。　　③うつ症状がある人。　　④下っ腹ポッコリの人。（腰が反っている人）
