IOC approve switch of cycling venues for 2020 Tokyo Olympics

[summary]

after month of negotiation, the IOC on Wednesday approved cycling venues for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, including cost-cutting move of indoor tracks events to a facility in Izu.

The international cycling union had resisted the move to Izu because it would detract from the Olympic experience for athletes and fans. However, international cycling union eventually agreed to the change.

The IOC said that Izu venues will undergo significant renewal and seating capacity will be increase.

Some competition will be held in Tokyo, others one will be held in Izu.

As he solution of distance from Tokyo, athletes and staffs stay at a satellite village located close to venues.

[my opinion]

I think that moving venues is a good idea especially the side of economics.

Tokyo Olympic committee have a lot of problem. For example, copyright of symbol mark designed by Mr. Sano, and lack of cooperation between government and Tokyo prefecture, and lack of money to construct the National Stadium.

National Stadium’ construction plan become blank paper because of lack of budget.

Like this example, Tokyo Olympics committee should save money for Japenese economy. So, I think that reducing budget to be held Izu, where is far away from Tokyo.

I think there are a lot of way to solve the problem about distance like in this article.

I’m so sorry to submit lately because of my careless, I forgot to push the “publish” button last Sunday. I’m so sorry.

Tokyo Olympics’ economical effect

summary

Tokyo Olympics make Japan’s GDP lift around 1 percent. First, to hold Tokyo Olympics, we have to need many buildings, including studiums　and an athletes’ village so construction company gets 10 trillion yen. Second, 33 million foreign tourists will come to Japan and spend a lot of money. In conclusion, Tokyo Olympics make far greater influences in economics.

Opnion

I want Tokyo Olympic games to provide a good influences for Japan. According to this article, it makes large effects for economics but I think that the most importance is mental effect. Japanese people have no identities and patriotisms. Japanese are not interested in Japan. I expect that Tokyo Olympics make Japanese people take pride in our country.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got Caf award

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got the Confederation of African Football’s player of the year award. In the vote, he got seven points more than Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure. Aubameyang is from Gabon, and now play soccer in the Bundesliga’s league. He thanked his family, team mates and the President of Gabon. The President returned a compliment, describing him as a great Gabonese. And the President thought that he would be a key person when they host the next Africa Cup of Nations in 2017.

To be honest, it is not until I read this artcle that I recognize Aubameyang, who is a star soccer player. For Gabonese children, he is a hero, and he gives dreams to a lot of people in Gabon. As he plays a more active play, Gabon will be famous, and will host the Africa Cup of Nations, I think. So far, in Africa, Cote d’Ivoire and Algeria is strong countries in soccer, but after a several years, Gabon would be stronger than now and turn out star players like Aubameyang.

British committee proposed that all athletic records should be abolished because more and more athletes use illegal drug and ruin sprotmanship. This disappointing fact make fans all over the world distrust the confidence of sports. Athletes who takes drugs should be punished strictly. This is very difficult problems because there are true atletes who don’t use illegal drug and they make an effort to achieve their goal every day,while there are false athletes who want to get an honer using the dirty way. I think that it is impossible to abolish all world records. There are some reasons. First, many atheletes who have world records without using illegal drugs oppose this drastic idea.They will say that ruining efforts is wrong because of part of injustice. Second,there are many wonderful records that we won’t breakthe world records. We have to find best ansewer to solve this miserable problem. Both abolishing all athletic world records are not good and paying no attention to using illegal drugs ane not good. It may take long time to restore confidence of sports,but we should try to maken an effort to solve this problem.In fact, punising severely athletes who don’t have sportmanship is a good idea.For example, depriving them of the right of participating in competition for ten years is a good idea.

Gamba’s Patric considering to participate in the World Cup for Japan

Patric is a soccer player of Gamba since July 2014 and play an important role in helping them win. He want to apply for Japanese because he want to join Japanese national team. He think that there are very few players whose position are like him. After he said, he was racially abused by Urawa supporters. He was very disappointed that the opinion. However, he never gave up. He said “I’m really proud of to be black” and “I never dreamt of being on the receiving end in” Japan.

I think there is no problems if Patric apply for Japanese citizenship. There are some reasons. First, it is fun if the national team strong. When the Japanese rugby football team victory the big game, lots of people were delighted though the national team has many player from foreign country. Second, the most important thing is the spirit. For winning the game, the team must fight as one. If the player from foreign country has another mind, the team will breakdown. However,like the Japanese rugby team, it is possible to fight as one because we are same the human race.

Funassyi shakes up Japanese Character world

A few years ago, Kumamon, popular bear character representing Kumamoto prefecture, made the “yuru-kyara” boom in Japan. Yuru-kyara means typically soft, plush mascots representing cities, government bodies or companies with a mix of cute and bizarre. Recently, Funassiyi, “pear fairy” unofficially representing Funabashi city, has shaken up Japanese Character world. In a packed room of reporters, Funassyi told that he respected Kumamon as a “senpai”. Funassyi has appeared on television many times and made the Funabashi city famous as a leading grower of pears. Funassyi goods have been sold in a store of Funabashi shopping center. He said the “economic effects” of its popularity have reached into the hundreds of millions of yen.
I think Yuru-kyara can make the features of local cities and prefectures known to many people and can make economic effects. In Japan, many local cities and prefectures have very few young people and little money, although urban cities have many young people and much money. Yuru-kyara advertises the good points of his city or prefecture. People who like the yuru-kyara go to the city or prefecture where the character lives and cheer it. Yuru-chara can help the local city or prefectures which don’t have much money.

Star Wars on course to land US box office record

1) The summary of the article

Finally the latest theater exhibition of Star Wars began last week. The public opening sales were record breaking. More than 200 million dollar ticket sales overnight, it’s a record since Jurassic Park. In the United States and Canada of the public first night it was more than a record of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows : Part 2 in 2011. Not only Japan and the United States, its also sales in the UK was a record. Furthermore, analysts explain that the space saga will increase sales more and more. Of course the world of people, and also Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher reprise this one.

2) Opinion

I also tried to see in the public first night, but tickets did not enter into the hands. Was almost the ticket is sold out at the stage of two days before the reservation begins in the center of Tokyo movie theater. Popular series work to be loved in the world is immeasurable. I wonder that Star Wars is loved by how many people. Enthusiastic fan of friends is said to go to see again. Economic effect is likely to be expected in the future, I think that the publication period of the movie long. I’m looking forward to next project.

The technology of 3D projection mapping

[SUMMARY]

FACE (Foundation for Audiovisual Commerce & Engineering) has created a technology of 3D projection mapping with Digital Projection projectors and a d3 Technology media server. The commissioner of this installation, Aromazz NV, had its debut at the Day of Entrepreneurs that were hosted by Unizo Limburg.

The projection mapping with FACE and two Digital Projection Titan Quad 20000 ANSI lumen projectors lighted up the face of building in the city through the glass wall of event venue Hangar 58. The contents of the event were made by d3 Technologies 4×2Pro media server.

Making 3D projection mapping have some processes.

First, taking a 3D scan of the facades which were converted in millions of individual points. Then these points are converted into a wide UV (UV means 2D) mapping by the d3 software generator. What the d3 software generator made become an image that fits the facades and corner of building shape exactly.

DVI extenders can convert the video output to fibre and be used for the communication between the servers and projectors. Besides a tablet can control the entire setup .

It is not necessary for us to be expert if you want control the software of 3D projection mapping. This software allow event organizers to customize contents of projection show.

[OPINION]

This article explained about the technology of ３D projection mapping. It is difficult for me to have an opinion about that, so I’ll write my thought about 3D projection mapping.

Disney land is famous for starting 3D projection mapping show. The reaoson why Disney land started though making 3D projection mapping cost too much is that 3D projection mapping show don’t need any dancers and any characters like Micky Mouse, so Disney can cut a lot of cost to hire them. It means that Disney can earn much money in long-term.

Researchers hope to harness human DNA to fight HIV

Researchers team at the University of Saskatchewan are learning about how an ancient “error correction” system in the human genome helps protect the body against HIV.
The system is occurred by enzymes produced by seven genes called APOBEC3.
The biochemist in the team, Linda Chelico explained that there are seven different variations of the APOBEC3H gene in humans, and they studied two of them particular, and they found both interfered with HTV, but in different ways.
Their discovery may point to ways of enhancing APOBEC3H performance, but they’ve got to be careful when designing an inhibitor because it can bind the protein, but interfere with function.
They are now searching for molecules called peptides that might fit the bill. It’s been a slow process, but they are trying an approach that hasn’t been done before.
After I read this article, I was really surprised that biological technology is developing in so fast speed. These days, many diseases which were impossible to cure in the past are becoming able to treat. I suggest that in the near future, HIV might become able to treat.
I some times think when human become able to cure all diseases, what will happen?
Of course, the development of the biological/medical technologies are wonderful. But I become scared when thinking the future which human got too much technologies(or human would not exist until that point, also).

influence on phones

In the last class, we discussed influence on smartphones, tablets and e-readers. They emit blue light that delays the body clock and keeps people awake later into the evening. A doctor tells that they should have an automatic “bedtime mode” that prevents them from disrupting people’s sleep. As it gets darker in the evening, the body begins to produce the sleep hormone melatonin which helps people asleep. Prof Gringras concluded that there was an obvious trend for new devices to be bigger, brighter, have higher levels of contrast and give off more blue light. The professor of children’s sleep medicine said,” That is great for use in the day, but awful for use at night.

It is true that smartphones, tablets and e-readers have given people various benefit in many fields, but they have had a bad influence on people’s health. As for me, my smartphone prevent me from falling asleep by an extra hour and so do many people. This article tells that manufacturers need to show more “responsibility”. However, I think that people who should need responsibility are childrens’ parents. Their parents have to control their childrens at hand. If their parents control their childrens’ use of smartphones, that would lead to decrease health problems, I think.
