Mon travail scolaire d'été
On est actuellement à mi-chemin du trimestre d'été à mon université. La session dure 10 semaines, une période qui semble brève et interminable simultanément. J'ai beaucoup de devoirs, y compris deux rédactions (une en espagnol, l'autre en anglais) et plein de lectures bien denses. J'ai appris qu'il faut bloquer une heure entière juste pour lire six pages d'un texte philosophique. Plus souvent qu'autrement, je dois repasser l'extrait deux, trois où même quatre fois pour m'assurer que j'aie bien compris. Ça me donne un sacré mal de tête, mais je suis déterminé à réussir dans le cours, et si je dois passer cinq heures en lisant chaque semaine, ainsi soit-il ! En plus, mon prof de philosophie est super gentil, et je vais aux heures de bureau tous les jeudis. Autrement, je ne peux pas imaginer comment je me débrouillerais avec tout ce que je dois apprendre.

On Erich Kästner
I recently discovered the wonderful poems of german writer Erich Kästner.
I previously had a vague idea of him and his life but i honestly never imagined his poems to be that good. For the vast majority of person i know, Kästner is known for one thing: his books for children. His works are classics of children literature in germany. Notable works are for example "Emil and the Detectives" and "The Flying Classroom". I, much to my suprise while looking back at it, never had any contact with them when i was young. I didn't read them nor listened to them.
But a few weeks ago i read an interesting poem titled "Das Eisenbahngleichnis" by Kästner. It's dated to 1933 and is describing the continous travel to the sense in life.This simple poem catched my attention and i had a sudden urge to get a collection of his poems. Much to my delight, our local library had a very old collection of poems by Erich Kästner that included almost all of his poems. I borrowed it and read almost all of the poems included.
I really, really adore the way Kästner writes and structures his poems. He constantly uses a rather simple language but still achieves to trigger feelings and memories. His work is driven by his pessimism, fatalism, but mostly: his humour. As readers we're presented a mix of humourous, anti-militaristic but also hopeless poems. Kästner prefers the world of the children, which he presents as a happy, righteous, honest place. In contrary, he is potraying the adult world as a dark place, influenced by unethical parents.
While i wouldn't agree with him (since my lecture of "The Lord of the Flies" i have learned a lot about violence from children), i have to admit that i find his ideas quite interesting and innovative.
Apart from his poems and his works for children, Erich Kästner had released one more famous book: "Fabian". It's the story about a moralist in the berlin of the early 30s. I read quite a while ago and didn't really enjoy it. I can't really narrow it down to a simple aspect it's rather the whole story that i didn't really get into.

Il spyware "Pegasus"
Questa settimana è stata una sveglia per il mondo politico. Un gruppo anonimo è riuscito ad infiltrarsi nelle vite private di alcune delle persone più potenti del mondo, solamente attraverso i microfoni e le fotocamere dei propri dispositivi mobili. Così ha potuto raccogliere delle informazioni segrete e venderle ad altri gruppi (chissà, forse i membri del governo in carica per poter conoscere i punti più deboli dei propri nemici).
Al di là delle intenzioni e delle motivazioni, la vicenda ha dimostrato che nessuno è sicuro dagli hacker. Prima di questo, pensavo che i governi contasse già su dispositivi e misure adeguati per poter difendersi da tali attacchi, ma sembra che siano impreparati quanto noi. Un gruppo anonimo che sia capace di trapelare tutti i segreti delle persone più potenti con appena dei messaggi e email falsificati, disegnati per trappolare solamente i più ingenui- è quasi inverosimile, non è? Sembra che il potere non regali la lucidità.
Penso che tutti i cittadini del mondo debbano pensare ad un altro criterio prima di mettere i propri voti nelle urne elettorali: La conoscenza tecnologica. Sono maggiormente i vecchi che tengono le redini del potere, e benché conoscano come i palmi delle propre mani tutte le complessità politiche per vincere il gioco politico, non sanno come maneggiare uno smartphone semplice. Questa disuguaglianza che esiste fra i due campi di conoscenza (cioè, il campo politico e il campo tecnologico) può danneggiare gravemente l'integrità del territorio nazionale per quanto riguarda il mondo cibernetico, a causa di renderlo suscettibile ad attacchi come quelli di Pegasus. -->(Scusatemi per il modo complesso di spiegarlo!)

Que signifie parler couramment
Ça c’est une question que je me pose très souvent. Cependant, ce n’est pas facile à répondre.
Quand j’ai commencé mon apprentissage du français j’ai cru que ça veut dire qu’une personne parle presque parfaitement et sans accent. Mais avec du temps j’ai changé mon avis. Il y a personne qui parle sans erreurs. Même les locuteurs natifs. En plus, il y a plusieurs accents dans une langue. Je suis anglophone et je parle avec un accent canadien mais ce n’est pas la seule accent en anglais.
Alors, au cours du temps j’ai changé mon opinion. Maintenant quand je pense a l’apprentissage d’une langue j’essaie de concentrer beaucoup plus sur la communication que sur la perfection. Je connais plusieurs personnes qui parle en anglais avec une grosse accent et il faut plusieurs erreurs grammaticales mais je suis capable de comprendre ces personnes. Alors je dirais qu’il parle couramment.
En conclusion, si une personne est capable d’aller au bar et parler avec n’importe de qui et s’exprimer dans une manière efficace je dirais qu’il parle couramment. Ça doit pas être parfait mais ça doit être compréhensible.

二零二一年七月二十一號
今天的工作讓我有點累。我一個年前，左右，就開始我的工作，所以我還沒有很多經歷，可是我越來越有重要的任務。這個星期我跟我的同事得解救一個問題，建一個軟件。可惜，我們需要的數據不是我們的，我們得跟一個其他的組一起工作。他們有點麻煩，看起來不想跟我們一起工作。我的組正常請我們的老闆要求其他的人幫忙我們，然而他現在在放假，所以我們不得不繼續跟他們商量。
在更高興的消息裏，我的工作有一個事叫“夏天星期五”。兩個星期五以前我請假了，這個星期五我也會請假。我肯定會上班過一會兒，可是我不會一個整天工作。
今天發生了一個很興奮的事。因爲我是一位電腦工程師，我每天都坐的很長時間，讓我有點不太舒服。我的屁股很酸。所以，我決定我想要一個有時候站，有時候坐的桌子。我當然已經有一個桌子，我覺得我已經有的桌子很好，而且我不想浪費，所以與其買一整個新桌子，不如我買了新的退。我會還用我的桌子，可是就能去上去下。這會當一個很好玩的項目。

Korossol into the Ring 32
Dear myself,
You're lucky, even if you don't know it.
Not only because your family loves you but because people usually like you, even if you don't know why.
Yes, you're confused most of the time and you don't like it. You're afraid most of the time and it's not a nice way to live.
Still, it could be worse. You don't like High School but you don't hate it. You find it boring. You're used to have an interesting life. You never knew normal and you don't like it.
You feel trapped. Because you can't go away. You're not used to the universe getting in your way. Why are you here? It makes no sense.
You've never been bullied. The only girl who treated you badly was trying to make you react. The only professor who talked you harshly honestly believed that you were challenging her.
(It seems to be a recurrent theme.)
You never cared for authority. You don't understand it. It causes problems.
But confusion is not the worse thing. It means nothing at fifteen. So what if you don't understand how things work? There will be no quiz. Stop being so intimidated: you don't have to be a genius. Learning is always a possibility.

Summering at Valley
I've been valley a few days ago.
I went there by train not my car, because driving is very weary these days.
This small town where involves the valley was snug and cozy.
Once we got off the train, the town caught our fancy.
We stayed a cozy inn and it had a big persimmon tree so it was named the persimmon tree inn.
A wooded valley was there alongside roads up to a mountain.
There were lots of rocks in the valley and stream was running between the rocks.
The water was so cold that we went in and out repeatedly.
We could indeed cool down our heat.
We really liked this spot so that we went there throughout three days.

Ein Portal zwischen Städte
Es gibt ein Portal zwischen Lublin und Vilnius. Ok, es ist eigentlich nur eine Kamera mit einem riesigen Panel, also eher wie eine riesige Webcam mitten auf der Straße, aber ich habe es wirklich cool gefunden. Menschen aus Lublin können Menschen aus Vilnius in Echtzeit zu winken. Ich frage mich, ob auf diese Weise einige lustige Freundschaften entstehen werden. Der Schöpfer sagt, dass es eine Erinnerung daran ist, dass wir alle verbunden sind.

Les voyages forment la jeunesse
Les sages disent que « les voyages forment la jeunesse » et je suis d’accord. Mais la valeur de voyager reste le même pour les adultes.
L’aspect plus visible de voyager c’est l’expérience physique grâce à l’endroit différent. Puis, quand l’endroit est différent, c’est la vie quotidienne est différent aussi. Donc, les expériences de voyages souvent inclus lesquels de savoir-faire et de la mode de la vie.
En correspondance aux les expériences physiques sont les aspects de connaissance de la nature, les peuples et la culture de chaque lieu. La connaissance d’autres choses qu’on prend par voyager est sensiblement l’intériorisation d’expériences.
Certes que les voyages forment la jeunesse, mais les avantages de voyager ne cessent pas avec la maturité. Tous le monde peut voyager toute la vie pour continuer de profiter de chaque séjour.

Musik, Filme/Fernsehen, Bücher oder Podcasts?
Dies ist eine sehr schwer zu beantwortende Frage. Ich liebe Bücher und ich liebe Musik, und ich denke, es ist unmöglich, sich für eines zu entschieden.
Ich kann mir mein Leben ohne Musik oder Bücher nicht vorstellen. Seit ich ein Kind war, liebe ich es zu lesen. Und Musik ist ein großer Teil in meinem Leben, ich höre sie den ganzen Tag.
Um ehrlich zu sein, kann ich mir keine Podcasts anhören. Ich habe es versucht, aber ich mag sie nicht. Filme sind nicht meine Lieblingsbeschäftigung. Manchmal schaue ich einen, aber nicht oft. Andereseits lese ich jeden Tag, bevor ich ins Bett gehe.
Ich werde mich nicht entscheiden, sondern nur sagen, dass ich sowohl Bücher als auch Musik liebe.

음악이나 영화/프로나 책이나 팟캐스트나
나는 음악, 영화/프로, 책과 팟캐스트를 다 좋아하는데, 가장 좋아하는 것을 골라야 되면 잘 모르다. 음악은 항상 듣고 있고, 집에서, 밖에서, 학교와 쇼핑에서도 음악을 듣고 있다. 그리고 내 플레이리스트는 500곡 만큼 있고 28시간 만큼 재생한다.
그런데 영화/프로는 너무 재밌다. 아무것이 대한 영화/프로를 찾을 수 있어서 좋다. 하지만 길 수도 있으니까 아마도 심심하지겠다. 아무튼 제가 아직 영화와 프로를
정말 좋아한다.
책은 유용하다. 과거에는 책과 읽기를 싫어했고 책을 읽을 때는 졸았는데, 한국어를 공부하기 시작한 후에, 책을 (유난히 교과서를) 많이 사용하기 시작해서 유용하졌다. 현재에는 항상 책을 읽고 사용해서 좋다. 전에는 팟캐스트도 별로 듣지 않았는데, 한국어를 공부하기 시작한 후에는 많이 듣는다. 어디에서든지 들을 수 있어서 엄청 좋고, 들으면서 아무것도 안 봐서 완전히 집중할 수 있다.

Diary: BCI (pt.2)
Implanted devices use data to learn about the inside of a person, and it can lead to the leak of personal information, while the boundaries of privacy in the internal world of the human body are difficult to define.
1. Someone may view the implanted device itself as a privacy. It depends on what kind of device it is.
2. The information collected by the device is a direct reflection of the private activity. For example, the combination of heart rate and time information recorded by a fitness bracelet can clearly reflect the pattern of sexual life.
3. Further analysis of the information collected by devices is sufficient to reveal intimate activities. For example, movement traces may reveal individual health status, religious beliefs and sexual orientation.

After the Typhoon
The typhoon passed by my town during the night. When I woke up, the wind has gone. It was sprinklinh. I went to the top floor at noon and found a few leaves on the floor which were green. Some of them were bougainvillea leaf, the others were grape leaf. I looked at the vine, it was injured. Its several shoot has gone, what the worst was that there were only a few shoots on it essentially. My heart felt pain. But luckily, the shoot of the trunk was still there with a small injury.
The bougainvillea was fine. It had about ten branches, so I didn't worried about it. There were several red rose petals on the surface of the flowerpot. The two roses had bloomed for a few days, it was time to say goodbye. The passion fruits (I am not sure what it is called in English. It isa kind of passiflora.) were also fine. There were so many drops under the vines which seemed like many diomands.
Then I went to the first floor and opened the door. There were many green leaves and small branches on the floor as well. They were from Magnolia denudata Desr. (I googled the name.)
I remember that when I came home after I put the rabbish out, I saw a jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) on the ground. It was raining a little heavily. I thought that it must be so ripen that it fell apart on the ground. Then I checked the others that were still on the tree, I found one was mature which maybe would fall apart soon. I picked it up, and then put the one which on the ground out.
It extreme weather is the killer of plants.

Olympic
The day after tomorrow, the Olympic will be held in Tokyo, which was postponed by the COVID-19.
Actually, I am not interested in sports, so I haven't watched sports events.
But this is a good chance to teach my sons what the Olympic is and which games are.
As I remember that, they enjoyed watching speed skating and bobsleigh.
I think, they would enjoy the Olympic as well.

A Complaint
My university announced the field trip of the engineering department in September has been canceled because of the situation of COVID-19 in Tokyo. I was looking for the trip because I've been taking only online classes these days. The students haven't experienced specialized experiments and machine processing even though we are learning engineering. I know the judgment is right; the infection status will be getting worse. The number of vaccination is not enough, people are fed up with repeated states of emergency, and the Olympics looks not well-organized, but that's the way it is.

The process of making new law
In 2017, Turkey switched from a parliamentary system to a quasi-presidential system. With this change, the legislative process of the state has also changed, and a different process has been determined to enact laws.
With the new system, the draft law given by the Council of Ministers has been abolished. Now only one or more deputies can propose a law to the turkish parliamentary speaker's office with a bill. The Speakership sends this bill to the commission. The Commission either accepts or rejects this bill. This decision of the commission is discussed in the general assembly of the parliament with 200 deputies for 48 hours. If the general assembly rejects the commission's acceptance decision, the bill is sent back to the commission. If the general assembly accepts the decision of the commission, the bill becomes law and is sent to the president for publication. Finally, if the general assembly accepts the commission's rejection, the bill is rejected.
The final stage is the presidential approval stage. If the President approves the bill within 15 days, it is published in the Official Gazette. However, if the president does not approve it partially or completely, the bill is sent back to the general assembly of the parliament. In this case, a simple majority is required for the law to be adopted as it is.
The biggest problem in this system is the demand for an absolute majority in case of the president's refusal. If the number of deputies from opposition parties in the parliament is less than the absolute majority, then the opposition cannot enact any draft law. It means that only the power to make laws rests with the hands of the president.

Tokyo Olympic
I have a four-days holiday starting tomorrow, thank to the Tokyo Olympic games.
Several games started today before the opening ceremony of Olympics. The Japanese women's softball team played against the Australian team. It is midwinter in Australia. I feel sorry because they came from the cold country to the hot country.

Does language modify perception?
Last night I watched Arrival (2016) for the second time. The film is based in the common idea that language modifies the way we perceive the reality. The true of this claim seems clear. For every person who has had to deal with a new language its obvious that some features of the other language compel him/her to think in a different way. Even so, it's such a difficult task to determine how much this changes the structure of our perceived reality. Sometimes I feel the differences are in the surface, whereas the reality's fabric stays the same; but there are other times, at which I feel as if I were having a brand new experience about a thing known long time ago.
