&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/11/it.html#english&quot;&gt;in English&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;「英語を話せるポーランド人がアメリカに進出…それもポーランドを一歩も離れることなく。」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;そんな記事が &lt;a href=&quot;http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/11/07/polish-programmers-are-joining-u-s-startups-but-staying-in-poland/&quot;&gt;TechCrunch Europe&lt;/a&gt; に掲載された。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3rYZz2N2bXNVKurVohx3nSPx46CPKFSfJxIxwF7thP2isaHYNsIxDZXeyleHhuG6LysJw5YLDKOeoVjbX6qFDSsPv0twd5cAf12oB67foFRXV5KfOoUbkqEpokHVntzNr_wQtnTFSKxqF/s1600/warsaw.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3rYZz2N2bXNVKurVohx3nSPx46CPKFSfJxIxwF7thP2isaHYNsIxDZXeyleHhuG6LysJw5YLDKOeoVjbX6qFDSsPv0twd5cAf12oB67foFRXV5KfOoUbkqEpokHVntzNr_wQtnTFSKxqF/s200/warsaw.JPG&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;どうもポーランドは、IT 開発のアウトソーシング先として徐々に人気を博しているらしい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;アメリカの IT 企業のトップはニューヨークにいながら、ポーランドにいる開発者とメールや Skype を使ってやりとりをし、プロジェクトを進めている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;国境をまたがった協業のかたちはこれまでもいくらでもあったが、この記事で紹介されている企業では、ポーランド人は企業の一員として雇用されている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;さらに記事には、なぜポーランド人がアウトソーシング先として選ばれたのか、いくつかの魅力的な根拠が書かれている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;IT のアウトソーシング先としてよく使われるインドに比べて、最新知識を持った質の高いプログラマーを手頃なコストで確保しやすい。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;（TV制作会社など）アメリカの文化に理解のあるプログラマーが必要。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ロシア、中国に続いて、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.topcoder.com/stat?c=country_avg_rating&quot;&gt;世界のトップコーダー&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;の上位 5 位内に入りながら、唯一ラテンアルファベットを使用する国。 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;この記事が掲載された翌日、昼休みに職場で読んでいたのだが、記事の内容以上に、読者からのコメントが面白くてついつい全部読んでしまった。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;この記事が掲載されたのは&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;日曜日&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;皆、よほどこのネタがツボにはまったのか、続々とコメントが舞い込み、コメント欄だけで本文の 7、8 倍以上の長さになってしまった。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;みんな、休みの日だというのに、パソコンに向かって延々と議論をふっかけている姿を想像するとおかしい。欧米のサイトでは、よく読者がコメントを書き込むけれども、ここまでふくれあがったコメント欄はなかなかお目にかかる機会がない。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;コメントの内容は、記事の賛否両論に始まり、どこの国の開発者はいいか、文化的な差異の話、開発がストップした際のリスク管理、そして共産時代の歴史からポーランドの建国年まで、あちこちへ飛ぶ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;「自分の経験だと、北米、エストニア、オーストリアがいいアウトソーシング先だった」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;という投稿があるかと思うと、筆者に対して&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;「なんでインドについて悪いことばかり書くんだ」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;という批判もあったり、なんともいえない過熱ぶり。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;私の経験では、インドの業者とのやりとりはあまりスムーズではなかった。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ある日、私が依頼内容をメールで送ると、「8 月○日の終業時間までに完了します」という、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;自動返信メールのような機械的な返信がすぐに&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;飛んできた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ところがその後、待てど暮らせど、期日を過ぎても一向に連絡はない。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;これは想定内のことだったし、そこまで重要度の高い件ではなかったので、しばらくそのままにしておいた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;さすがに週間ほどたったのでインドのチームに連絡すると、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;「もう既に、先週の金曜日の○月○日にメールが送られているはずだ。もしないなら、メールの数が多すぎて、迷惑メールのフォルダに入っているんじゃないか」という返信が来て、送付したというメールまで添付してきた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ところが、自分のメールボックスをどんなに探してもそんなメールは出てこない。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;同僚が私のところに来て言うには、「私も、アメリカ本社の関係者の誰一人として、そんなメールは受け取っていない。どうもみんな最近、&lt;/span&gt;インドの業者にはいろいろと困っているみたい」と不服そうな愚痴を漏らす。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;何しろ、持っている皿を割ったら、&lt;b style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;「皿の方が自分から割れていったんだ」&lt;/b&gt;と答える国である。こちらもそれなりな禅問答を予期して臨まなければならない相手だ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;話を記事に戻すと…、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;全体のコメントを見てみると、おおよそ議論の中心は&lt;b style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;「文化的な違い」&lt;/b&gt;と&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;「コミュニケーション」&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;の二点に集約された。どんなに技術が発達し、伝達手段が多様化しても、人と人が理解しあい、共鳴すると気持ちよく仕事ができるものだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;欧米の国々がインドや中国との間でしばしばトラブルに見舞われてしまうのも、それぞれの国の技術の高さだけでなく、文化的な違いがスムーズな意思疎通を阻害してしまった結果なように思われる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;まだ確率はしていないけれど、だからこそ、上手く行った時は面白い。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;English-speaking Polish advanced into the USA...without moving out of their country.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The article appeared in&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/11/07/polish-programmers-are-joining-u-s-startups-but-staying-in-poland/&quot;&gt;TechCrunch Europe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7op2NipdBoCdyLEIFXa7lP4ntzjga_T4_I5ezjwOhHS-fvzfH0T5YAZ-UsPJg3yWn7SBn13r7XgPP76vERn1suFS8x5Qo1ZHpnepmKOE5UzaOXXv9Rz0h1Hgrm4sQ0pwTZA1OST9WGAq/s1600/kracow1.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7op2NipdBoCdyLEIFXa7lP4ntzjga_T4_I5ezjwOhHS-fvzfH0T5YAZ-UsPJg3yWn7SBn13r7XgPP76vERn1suFS8x5Qo1ZHpnepmKOE5UzaOXXv9Rz0h1Hgrm4sQ0pwTZA1OST9WGAq/s200/kracow1.JPG&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It seems &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;Poland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is becoming another main outsourcee for IT development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The manager of the US company in communicates with programmers in Poland by using email and Skype to discuss their project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Cross-border collaboration is nothing new, but the company in the article hired programmers as their employee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The article also put forward the advantages to work with Polish programmers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A much better access to quality programmers fluent in modern frameworks and their competitive rates, comparable to what is offered by regular outsource companies in India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;(Especially western TV productions) a company really needs developers who understand the American culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.topcoder.com/stat?c=country_avg_rating&quot;&gt;The only country in top five&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that uses the Latin alphabet, is just behind Russia and China.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I read this article at lunchtime the day after being published, and couldn&#39;t help but read all interesting posts made by the readers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Despite the article appeared on the Web on Sunday, many people were attracted and left a post after another with their deep interest. Eventually the page was filled with the long comments, nearly the septuple or octuple of the original article.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It was funny to imagine the readers spend whole Sunday to type endless comments and discuss such a topic. Readers often send their views or comments on articles in the USA and Europe. Though, we cannot see such a long list of comments so often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It contained discussion both for and against, reader&#39;s experience (which country is the best to work with, etc.), cultural differences, risk management in the case of development disorder, history of the Communism era, foundation of Poland, and so on…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;One says &quot;In my experience, North America, Estonia and Austria were the best to work with&quot;, another guy said &quot;Why this author put down India?&quot; by objection..the fierce debate sparked on the Web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In my personal experience, it was not a great deal to work with India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;One day, as soon as I sent a request by email to the vendor in India, they emailed me in really automatic style, &quot;We will execute your request and get back to you by Friday xx August EOD (IST) .&quot; It was just like an auto-message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;However…..since then I haven&#39;t heard anything at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;As it was still within my expectations and I was not in hurry with it, I left it for another couple of weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;After long silence, I emailed again to India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What they replied was &quot;We had sent across OO last Friday, xx/xx itself. You might not have received it due to heavy email volume on your outlook...&quot; and forwarded the email which they claimed. Though I checked my email box, I could never find the one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;My colleague said to me &quot;None of the US office didn&#39;t receive their reply, me neither. Everyone has troubles with the vendor in India recently.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Well, when Indian breaks a dish, what they say is &quot;The dish was broken by itself.&quot; We need to expect philosophical discussion when we have to do something with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Now back to the article…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;After reading through all comments, there can see 2 main points, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;cultural differences&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;communications&lt;/b&gt;. Despite the evolution of the latest technology and the diversity of communication tools, we still need to understand each other more by communication. It makes everything work perfect and everyone happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The USA and European countries often get in trouble while collaborating with India or China (possibly other Asian countries, too). I assume &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;it is caused more by cultural differences and miscommunication rather than by the quality of their skills and technology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Though we still couldn&#39;t find the best practice, it spurs us to challenge new ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;涙が出そうなほど刺激的。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ヨーロッパのダンスシーンと言えば、ベルギーの&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rosas.be/&quot;&gt;ローザス&lt;/a&gt;、ドイツの&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theforsythecompany.com/&quot;&gt;フォーサイス&lt;/a&gt;、もう亡くなってしまった&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pina-bausch.de/&quot;&gt;ピナ・バウシュ&lt;/a&gt;、さらにフランスの&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bejart.ch/&quot;&gt;モーリス・ベジャール&lt;/a&gt;など、どちらかというと大陸側に主流があって、イギリスはいまいちだった。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
それが近年、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.new-adventures.net/&quot;&gt;マシュー・ボーン&lt;/a&gt;や（かなりエンターテインメント性が高いが）、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.akramkhancompany.net/&quot;&gt;アクラム・カーン&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rmcompany.co.uk/RMCo_Web_Site/Home.html&quot;&gt;ラッセル・マリファント&lt;/a&gt;といった新進振付家によって、イギリスにもコンテンポラリーダンスの新たな潮流が生まれてきた。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 月末に初来日した ホフェッシュ・シェクターは明らかに、それらとは異なるタイプの作品。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
舞台は、一人の鎧を着た男が自死するシーンから始まる。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
舞台奥には、2 層のプラットフォームが組まれている。&lt;br /&gt;
独裁者とも、あるいはロックミュージシャン、あるいは政治家とも見える人物が、その一番上の中央を陣取る。彼の眼下では、囚われた市井の人々が逃げ惑い、踊らされ、バレエダンスの美しい動きとは違った身体言語で激しい動きを繰り広げていく。高く組まれたプラットフォームが人物の力関係を明確に表していた。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
耳をつんざくようなギターとドラムの音が観客の心理をさらに扇情する。ホールの入口に、通常の公演とは違って「心臓の弱い方、小さなお子様は…」と注意書きがあったのも理解できる。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
時折、制御が効かなくなったかのように、身悶え、身震いし、胸を掻きむしりながら跳躍する姿は、体内の時限爆弾の爆発のショックを受けて、内から放たれる衝撃波を体の外へ放出しているかのようだ。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
舞台上のダンサーにできることは、ただ踊り、駆けまわり、跳び、次々と訪れる予想外な人生の波乱の中で、ともかく何とかして生きようとする人の姿そのものだった。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
これぞまさにフィジカルシアター！&lt;br /&gt;
フィジカルシアターで UK を代表すべきカンパニー、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dv8.co.uk/&quot;&gt;DV8&lt;/a&gt; に引けを取らない、大胆で過激で新風を巻き起こす舞台だ。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
その身体言語で語られるメタファーからはいろいろなものを連想できる。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
肉体や精神に与えられた強い衝撃…閉鎖的な社会からの飛躍、&lt;br /&gt;
コントロールに耐えきれなくなった精神と身体の破壊、&lt;br /&gt;
テクノロジーと人間の間で膨らみすぎた矛盾…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
そして、パフォーマンスの最後には、映画「ラブ・アクチュアリー」でも使われていた、ジョニ・ミッチェルの「ある愛の考察～青春の光と影」がしっとりとかかり、今まで目の前に観た光景がビデオの巻き戻しのように再現され、冒頭のシーンに戻っていくというニクい演出。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: honeydew; border-color: rgb(143, 188, 143); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 17px; width: 65%;&quot;&gt;そう　私は人生を両側から見た&lt;br /&gt;
上からも下からも　そしてなぜかいまだに&lt;br /&gt;
心に浮かぶのは人生の幻&lt;br /&gt;
私は人生をまったく分かっていない&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
その美しい詞とメロディーと歌声がまじりあって、舞台をやさしく包み込む。それまでの荒々しい世界と不思議なまでに調和して、観終わった後に心に残るのは、ざらついたかすれや痛みではなく、夜の帳のようなやさしさ。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ちょうどマシュー・ボーンや英国ロイヤルバレエの来日公演と重なっていたり、日本での知名度も低かったことから、観客席の埋まり具合は正直淋しかった。&lt;br /&gt;
しかし、少なくとも会場に足を運んでいた観客全員の心は確実に捉えていたようだ。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
同演目は、ちょうど先週の 14 日から 17 日にロンドンで上演された。&lt;br /&gt;
日本でもまたすぐにカンパニーの次の公演が観られることを期待！&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This is tear-splashing dynamite!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many remarkable choreographer, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rosas.be/&quot;&gt;Rosas&lt;/a&gt; in Belgium, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theforsythecompany.com/&quot;&gt;William Forsythe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pina-bausch.de/&quot;&gt;Pina Bausch&lt;/a&gt; in Germany, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bejart.ch/&quot;&gt;Maurice Bejart&lt;/a&gt; in France and Switzerland…the last two have already passed away….can be found in Europe. It shows the Continent side has been the mainstream in European dance scene rather than British Islands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last 10 years, a new stream has made by budding choreographers, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.new-adventures.net/&quot;&gt;Matthew Borne&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.akramkhancompany.net/&quot;&gt;Akram Khan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rmcompany.co.uk/RMCo_Web_Site/Home.html&quot;&gt;Russell Maliphant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stage started with the scene of an armoured man killing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a two-story platform on the rear stage.&lt;br /&gt;
A man stood on the top story and looked sometimes a dictator, a rock musician, or a politician. He commanded the dancers who represented the people on the street and were forced to run around and dance. Their movement was created by heady physical language which was totally different from the sophisticated one for classical ballet and modern dance. This towering platform was a metaphor expressing a hierarchy and the relationship between a top and bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earsplitting guitar and drum shook the bottom of audience&#39;s heart so lascivious. There was no wonder that we could find a note of caution saying &quot;Attention, To audience who has heart trouble and all children...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes, dancers nearly lost their control to be convulsed, shake themselves and jump with tearing at their heart. That looked as if their hidden power were released as a shock wave from the body by the timed explosion inside of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dancers could just dance, run around and jump...as if we have to live somehow throughout unexpected destabilizing daily life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is exactly what physical theatre is!!&lt;br /&gt;
They compare favorably with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dv8.co.uk/&quot;&gt;DV8&lt;/a&gt;, one of the most leading and exciting physical theatre companies in the UK. They are so bold and radical that their performance brings new perspective to dance scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can imagine so many things from the metaphor told by their physical language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
High impact to body and soul reflected...exodus from intolerant society, mentally and physically collapse due to excessive control, exploding contradiction caused between technology and human being....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just before a curtain call, Joni Mitchell&#39;s &quot;Both Sides Now&quot; was played (it was also played in &quot;Love Actually&quot;). All scenes and movement were replayed like a super-fast rewind of video to Joni&#39;s heartwarming tune and finally ended with the first scene. They prepared such a pukka ending!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: honeydew; border-color: rgb(143, 188, 143); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 17px; width: 65%;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve looked at life from both sides now&lt;br /&gt;
From up and down and still somehow&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s life&#39;s illusion I recall&lt;br /&gt;
I really don&#39;t know life at all&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Her beautiful lyrics, melody and voice were blended to surround the stage and audience like a warm hug. It amazingly merged into all harsh expression by dancers and left no dry tone or no pain, just peaceful moment in the predawn darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a pity that all of seats were not occupied even at Saturday matinee, as other big-name companies like Matthew Borne&#39;s &quot;Swan Lake&quot;and the Royal Ballet were on at Tokyo during the same period and the company was still not known well in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I&#39;m sure that the company grabbed the hearts of all audience in the theatre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Political Mother&quot; was performed at the Sadler&#39;s Wells in London from 14 to 17 July last week. I&#39;m looking forward to their next visit to Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;前回の&lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/04/jamie-heywood.html&quot;&gt;ジェイミー・ヘイウッド&lt;/a&gt;に引き続き、TED での翻訳第 2 弾は&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomwujec.com/&quot;&gt;トム・ウージェック&lt;/a&gt;。彼はデザインとテクノロジーによって最先端の分野を切り開いてきたパイオニア。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
現在は米オートデスク社のフェローで、最近 iPad 版も話題になっている &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.autodesk.co.jp/sketchbookpro&quot;&gt;SketchBook Pro&lt;/a&gt;、映画やゲームなどの CG アニメーションになくてはならない &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.autodesk.co.jp/maya&quot;&gt;Maya&lt;/a&gt; といった製品に携わってきた。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
本当は彼のユニークな「&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/jpn/tom_wujec_build_a_tower.html&quot;&gt;マシュマロ・チャレンジ&lt;/a&gt;」の動画を翻訳したかったのだが、すでに他の人が担当してしまったため、別のスピーチを翻訳しようと選んだのがこれ。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
彼はスピーチの中で、2 千年以上前に発明され、ヨーロッパやイスラム圏で利用されてきたアストロラーベを例を紹介した。アストロラーベは、現代の iPhone のように、最新のテクノロジーを搭載した道具だった。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
彼はアストラーベと時刻の調べ方を例にとりながら、テクノロジーの進歩とその受容、影響について語った。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: honeydew; border-color: rgb(143, 188, 143); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 17px; width: 80%;&quot;&gt;テクノロジーが向上し。&lt;br /&gt;
多くの人は進歩が、&lt;br /&gt;
我々をさらに知的で賢くさせて&lt;br /&gt;
世界へ結びつけていくと信じています。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…実情は必ずしもそうではなく、&lt;br /&gt;
進歩とは 変化を意味することばでしかありません。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
変化で新しいものを得ることができますが、&lt;br /&gt;
同時に何かを失うのです。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
確かにテクノロジーは新しい体験を我々に与えて、わくわくさせてくれる。しかし、それと同時に必ず失うものがある。彼がまさにいわんとするところが、私にはとても理解できる。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
かつて人類が活版印刷を発明し、これまでの知識を書物として保存することができるようになった時、それと引き換えに、今まで口承で伝えられてきた多くの知識が絶えてしまったと言われている。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
テクノロジーが人間の頭脳の代わりを務め、人間の記憶や知識までも代わりに蓄積するようになり、我々は何をなくしていっているだろう？&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
これまでになかった作業も増えたけど、面倒臭がりであったり、さらなる効率化を求めるために、手足だけでなく、頭脳まで使う領域が段々と減ってきているように感じる今日この頃。そのうち生身の自分を司ることさえ危うくなるのではないかと怖くもなる。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
アストロラーベは、テクノロジーと人間が共存し、テクノロジーを用いることで、人間の知がさらに増すという良い相乗効果をあらわした例である。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/07/gmail-google.html&quot;&gt;とても効率のよい方法&lt;/a&gt;でレビューを進めてくださった Satoshi さん、ありがとうございました。&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tom Wujec demos the 13th-century astrolabe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Following my first translation of &lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/04/jamie-heywood.html&quot;&gt;Jamie Heywood&lt;/a&gt;, I worked on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomwujec.com/&quot;&gt;Tom Wujec&lt;/a&gt; as my second TED work. He is a remarkable pioneer in the fusion of design and technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently a fellow at Autodesk, American software company. He has worked on some innovative software, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.autodesk.com/sketchbookpro&quot;&gt;SketchBook Pro&lt;/a&gt; (its iPad-version is drawing huge attention recently) and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.autodesk.com/maya&quot;&gt;Maya&lt;/a&gt; (must-software for all CG animators).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At first, I spotted his stimulating presentation about &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/tom_wujec_build_a_tower.html&quot;&gt;marshmallow problem&lt;/a&gt;&quot; on the TED&#39;s Web site. However its translation was already in progress. Then I chose this speech.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He showed an astrolabe which was invented more than 2,000 years ago and has been used in Europe and the Islamic world. It has been a top gadget of the time featuring the latest technology like iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used a simple example... how to tell the time by a tool and explained how we have embraced technology and how it has effected a change in our lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: honeydew; border-color: rgb(143, 188, 143); border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 17px; width: 80%;&quot;&gt;As technology progresses,&lt;br /&gt;
and as it advances,&lt;br /&gt;
many of us assume that these advances&lt;br /&gt;
make us more intelligent,&lt;br /&gt;
make us smarter and more connected to the world. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what I&#39;d like to argue&lt;br /&gt;
is that that&#39;s not necessarily the case,&lt;br /&gt;
as progress is simply a word for change,&lt;br /&gt;
and with change you gain something,&lt;br /&gt;
but you also lose something.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no doubt that technology brings us a new experience and makes us excited. However we always lose something instead of it. I can really get his point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once we invented typography, it allowed us to save existing knowledge as books. But it was not only that. Rich oral culture has died which was passed down by word of our ancestors&#39; mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now technology is taking the role of our brain to save our memory and knowledge. What are we losing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As new technology is introduced in the world, we need to do something new which was not required before. As we become lazier and expect efficiency in daily life, I feel like we have less chance to use body but and brain, too. I am downright scared that someday we may not be able to control ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Astrolabe is a good example of synergetic effect between technology and people. By using the tool of technology, it made us more intelligent and connected us to many aspects in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just have to say thank you to Satoshi who reviewed my translation in &lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/07/gmail-google.html&quot;&gt;very clever way&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;そんなイギリスで、&lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/05/2010-uk.html&quot;&gt;前回の総選挙&lt;/a&gt;の時と同様に、2010 年のワールドカップをレゴで再現した、その名も「&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/series/brick-by-brick-fussball&quot;&gt;Brick-by-brick fussball&lt;/a&gt;」を公開中。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;今回のワールドカップの&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/14/world-cup-2010-england-usa-brick&quot;&gt;アメリカ戦&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/21/world-cup-2010-england-algeria-brick&quot;&gt;アルジェリア戦&lt;/a&gt;、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/25/world-cup-2010-england-slovenia-brick-by-brick&quot;&gt;スロベニア戦&lt;/a&gt;の名場面が見事に、いやかわいらしく再現されている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;今日はついに因縁の対決だったドイツ戦の模様も掲載。 あの疑惑のゴールシュートのシーンも再現。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;観客席を埋め尽くすサポーターや、頭の上にヘアキャップがない背番号 10 番はルーニー…というこだわりよう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ボーナス版として、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/02/england-germany-world-cup-brick-by-brick&quot;&gt;1966 年大会優勝時の動画&lt;/a&gt;もある。ちょっと色味が暗すぎるけど、いまだにイングランド人が語り継ぐ名試合を白黒画面で再現。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;もっと見たい人は &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legofussball.eu/&quot;&gt;Lego Fussball&lt;/a&gt; のサイトに行くと過去のヨーロッパチームのゲームも見ることができる（ドイツ語）。先々週の&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legofussball.eu/?Lego-Videos:WM_2010:NED_-_JPN&quot;&gt;日本 vs オランダ戦&lt;/a&gt;の再現動画も。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;子どもの頃に遊んだり、大学のゼミで「レゴと&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.diablock.co.jp/&quot;&gt;ダイヤブロック&lt;/a&gt;の違いに見る文化論」を発表した私にとって、やはりレゴは思い入れがある。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;優勝リーグからは離脱してしまったけど、この Lego Fussball で気持ちを励まそう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Once I wrote about &lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/05/2010-uk.html&quot;&gt;the Lego figures of the UK General Election&lt;/a&gt;. There are also the movies in which Lego figures reproduce the matches in the World Cup 2010, so-called &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/series/brick-by-brick-fussball&quot;&gt;Brick-by-brick fussball&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The movies show the best scenes in England&#39;s games against &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/14/world-cup-2010-england-usa-brick&quot;&gt;USA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/21/world-cup-2010-england-algeria-brick&quot;&gt;Algeria&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/25/world-cup-2010-england-slovenia-brick-by-brick&quot;&gt;Slovenia&lt;/a&gt;. It&#39;s so fabulous and pretty!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Today the site uploaded the last face-off between England and Germany billed as a clash of fate. It caputures the moment of the controversial goal kick by England.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The stands are filled with colourful supporters and a figure without a hair cap has the number 10 on his back...it&#39;s Wayne Mark Rooney!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;There is a bonus movie of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/02/england-germany-world-cup-brick-by-brick&quot;&gt;the England&#39;s victory in the World Cup 1966&lt;/a&gt;. Though the movie uses a bit too dark contrast in black and white, it&#39;s the best reproduction of the legendary game for England.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You can find more matches by European team at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legofussball.eu/&quot;&gt;Lego Fussball&lt;/a&gt; (in Germany). Here is the reproduction of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legofussball.eu/?Lego-Videos:WM_2010:NED_-_JPN&quot;&gt;Japan vs Netherland game&lt;/a&gt; the week before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Personally...I have a special feeling with Lego, since I played with it in my childhood and made a presentation on the comparative culture of Lego and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.diablock.co.jp/&quot;&gt;Diablock&lt;/a&gt; (Japanese block toy) at university.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Even after England has already left the field, Lego Fossball still gives me a fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;それでもロンドンのメディア会社の取り組みは、イングランドチームやファンの士気を上げるのに十分役立つだろう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;ブランドエージェンシーの &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebrandunion.com/&quot;&gt;The Brand Union&lt;/a&gt; が考案したのは、その名も「Footwall」。キャンペーン用の Twitter（&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/thefootwall/&quot;&gt;@thefootwall&lt;/a&gt;）を設け、そのタイムラインをロンドンのファリントンにある会社の建物に映し出しているのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;イングランドチームの応援を兼ねて、自社のブランディングまでしてしまった例。また、The Brand Union は 2018 年ワールドカップのロンドン開催をサポートしているので、この取り組みはそのプロモーションにもなる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;この会社のあるファリントンといえば、ロンドンでもメディアやクリエイティブ業界の企業が多い地域。11-33 St John Street と言えば、私が通っていた大学の目と鼻の先！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The Brand Union の企業サイトでは、建物の様子をライブ中継している。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;とはいえ、この Footwall、問題は夜にならないと建物に投射できないこと。イギリス時間ではほとんどの試合がお昼休みの時間帯に当たるので、一番盛り上がる試合時間には活用できないのが残念。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;イギリスでは昼休みに職場のインターネットで観戦をする人が多く、その時間帯に急激にネットのアクセスが集中しているという&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/back-office-10012454/world-cup-helps-drive-networks-crazy-10016129/&quot;&gt;統計&lt;/a&gt;も出され、社内 IT 担当者を冷や冷やさせている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Footwall、私のツイートも映してくれるかな&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;【後日談】&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/TheFootwall/status/17052101468&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;@thefootwall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; さんからTwitterで&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/TheFootwall/status/17052101468&quot;&gt;メッセージ&lt;/a&gt;をいただきました。しかも日本語でも！ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;(2010 年 6 月 26 日)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Finally England started holding a morale-boosting rally following the first win in the game against Algeria of the 2010 FIFA World Cup yesterday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A campaign by a London&#39;s media company will encourage England team and supporters for the next game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebrandunion.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The Brand Union&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;, a brand agency, launched the campaign called &quot;Footwall.&quot; They created a Twitter account (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/thefootwall/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;@thefootwall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;) and has projected messages in its timeline on their building at Farringdon, central London.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;While cheering up England team, they improved their self-branding, too. They have also improved their reputation. The Brand Union is also a partner in England’s bid to stage the 2018 World Cup, so it’s a fitting campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The area around Farringdon is a famous place where many media and creative agencies are competing. 11-33 St John Street is just around the corner of my old university!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The front of the building is broadcast live on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebrandunion.com/thefootwall/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;their Web site&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;One of the problems is...due to the nature of using a projector, the wall is only available after night fall. It is not available while games are taking place from lunchtime onwards in most cases. It&#39;s a bit of a shame.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So many office workers watch streamed games at lunchtime by using office&#39;s Internet. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/back-office-10012454/world-cup-helps-drive-networks-crazy-10016129/&quot;&gt;A research&lt;/a&gt; shows that It can easily end up to make networks down and give a headache to enterprise IT managers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Well, can I see my tweet on the Wall?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Later...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/TheFootwall/status/17052101468&quot;&gt;@thefootwall&lt;/a&gt; sent me a message by Twitter. What &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/TheFootwall/status/17052101468&quot;&gt;a brilliant tweet in Japanese&lt;/a&gt;! (26-June-2010)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;左のビデオでは正しいブブゼラの吹き方をレクチャーしている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;ワールドカップの影響を受けて、ヨーロッパでは昨秋あたりからブブゼラが大人気。イギリスでも、&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=vuvuzela&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; やスーパーマーケットなどで毎日飛ぶように売れている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;しかしこのブブゼラ、方々で物議を醸している。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;あまりにも音が大きいために、選手・審判・観客など各方面から苦情があがっているのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;数値で表してみると、ブブゼラの音は 127 デシベル。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;これが競技場内では 144 デシベルにもなり、太鼓の 122 デシベル、審判の笛の 121.8 よりもずっと大きく、なんと花火や飛行機の離陸音、ロックコンサートの音量より大きいことを示している。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;イギリスの国営放送 BBC には、6 月 10 日の開会以来、ブブゼラの音についての苦情が 220 件も寄せられた（6 月 14 日時点）。イングランドでは、自宅のテレビで試合観戦している人の 10 人に 6 人が音声のボリュームを下げているのだそうだ。BBC は急遽ブブゼラの音が入らないようにした中継方法も検討中。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 1px solid #668866; font-size: small; padding: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;ワールドカップ出場選手&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
ブブゼラの音が大きすぎて、同じチームのメンバーと意思疎通するのが難しい。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ワールドカップの現地観戦客&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
「ブブゼラの音で、同じ国のサポーター同士で団結して応援歌を歌えない。」&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;サッカーリーグのスポークマン&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
「ワールドカップから帰国した観戦客がブブゼラを本国に持ち込んだら、規制するかどうかは各リーグの判断による。」&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;イギリスのある父親&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
「子どもがブブゼラを吹くのを止めなくなってたまらない。子どもにはサッカーの試合中だけ吹くようにさせた。」&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;イギリスの年金生活者&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
ブブゼラの音がうるさすぎるとケーブルテレビ会社にクレーム。&lt;br /&gt;
別の年金生活者は、ハチの群れに襲われたと思って害虫駆除業者に連絡。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;逆にこれを商機として利用しているケースもある。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;南アフリカの競技場の外では、ブブゼラの音が聞こえない耳栓を売り出したり、イギリスでは、テレビでの観戦時に背景にかけるとブブゼラの音を消す効果のある MP3 ファイルをネット上で販売したりと、付随ビジネスも現れている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;南アフリカでは、熱狂的なサポーターたちがゲーム中だけでなく、空港到着時から街中、朝から夜中までずっとブブゼラを吹いているらしく、これではさすがにげんなり。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;郷に入っては郷に従えという考えも多いものの、全世界的に苦情は少なくない。ブブゼラはワールドカップ後も世界に広がるのだろうか？　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;きっと自分が応援しているチームが優勢に立っている時には、ブブゼラの音も気にならないのだろう。あなたはブブゼラに賛成？　反対？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;出典：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The video above shows how to play a vuvuzela like a professional player.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Millions of Vuvuzelas have been sold in Europe from last autumn due to The World Cup effect. Since Vuvuzela feaver arrived in the UK, vuvuzelas have flown off the racks of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=vuvuzela&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; and sumermarkets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;However, vuvuzela&amp;nbsp;has sparked global debate over loud drone&amp;nbsp;due. Many football players, referees, and supporters have complained about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;According to the survey, the sound emitted by a vuvuzelas was the equivalent to 127 decibels. It can generate a drone of up to 144 decibels inside stadiums, which is lauder than a drum&#39;s 122 decibels, or a referee&#39;s whistle...even fireworks, a plane taking off or a rock concert.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The BBC has received 220 complaints (as of June 14) after the kick-off on June 10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In England, six out of ten fans who watch games at home are now turning down to cut out the horn-blowing. The BBC investigates the possibility of transmitting an alternative &quot;vuvuzela free&quot; version of its World Cup coverage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Football League spokesman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is a matter for individual clubs, as is the case with drums and other musical instruments.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Father of a boy in the UK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But the kids wanted them and I can&#39;t resist it when they get excited about something like the World Cup.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;British pensioner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;One old lady rang her cable provider to complain about the &#39;loud buzzing&#39; coming from her television.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Another pensioner called pest control in over the weekend amid fears her house was being attacked by a swarm of bees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Some people found out a business chance from the complaints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Some started selling vuvuzela ear plugs outside a stadium, and the other £2.45 MP3 file of active noise cancellation to eliminate the horns from broadcasts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In South Africa, lunatic supporters keep blowing the horns not only during the games, but from the arrival at the airport to walking down the street 24-hour a day. It sounds bored to death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Though we said &quot;When in Rome, do as the Romans do&quot;, the fierce debate over vuvuzela has spread all over the world. Will it spread out to the end of the world after the World Cup?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I assume while your supporting team is leading a game, you will not mind the buzz of the horn.

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;一目見て、あまりにも衝撃的…。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;すでに&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.london2012.com/mascots&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;公式サイト&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;では、二人（？）の誕生エピソードがアニメーションで紹介されている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;それによると、オリンピックスタジアムのための資材を造る工場を退職するおじいさんが、家に持ち帰った鉄鋼の液滴から作り出したのがこのキャラクター。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;デジタル時代を意識したメタリックなデザインのキャラクターの頭にはロンドンのタクシーのランプをつけ、カメラのレンズを彷彿させる目玉が 1 つ、オリンピックのシンボルとなっている 5 色の輪をブレスレットとしてつけている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;それぞれの名前はイギリスの地名が由来となっていて、頭のランプの中にあるイニシャルで区別ができる。左側の Wenlockは、近代オリンピックの創始者であるクーベルタンが訪れた Much Wenlock の地名に由来している。クーベルタンは、この地で観たスポーツ大会から着想を得て、現在のオリンピックを始めたのだそうだ。右側のMandevilleは、パラリンピック発祥の町 Stoke Mandeville から名付けられている。そうした歴史を絡める辺りはいかにもイギリス人好み。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;キャラクターの初期のデザインでは、擬人化された鳩やティーポット、手足のついたビックベンまであったらしく、恐いもの見たさでそれはそれで見てみたい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;スポンサーから提供される放映権料と並び、オリンピックの重要な収入源となるのがキャラクターグッズ。今までと全く変わってしまった、グラフィティーっぽく、大胆なグラフィックデザインのロゴもすでに物議を醸し出しているロンドン オリンピック。このキャラクターの評判はどう出るか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ロンドン オリンピックでキーワードとも言える「デジタル」の時代らしく、2 つのキャラクターには Facebook と Twitter まで設けられて人気を競っている（今のところ、Wenlock の方がフォロワーが多い）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;出典：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;Unveiled Mascots for London Olympic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Finally, the next Olympic mascots were unveiled.&lt;br /&gt;
Wow...what can you say about this???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Now &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.london2012.com/mascots&quot;&gt;the official site&lt;/a&gt; shows the animation of their very fast story.&lt;br /&gt;
In the story, a old man retired from a big steel factory producing materials to build Olympic stadium. He brought droplets of steel to home and created these unique creatures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;With the digital age in mind, metallic-textured mascots have a London taxi light on their heads, a single large eye made out of a camera lens, and bracelets representing Olympic rings on their wrists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Both names were named after the town in the UK and can be recognized by an initial in the head light. Wenlock (left) was named after Much Wenlock where Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics. He was inspired by a sports event there and launched the modern Olympic. Mandeville (right) was named after Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympics were founded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Among the designs at the early stage, there were anthropomorphic pigeons, an animated tea pot and a Big Ben with arms and legs. I&#39;d like to see them purely out of curiosity. The British like to quote history like this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In Olympic business, mascots is also a crucial income source following sponsorship revenues. London&#39;s olympic logo has already provoked public controversy as it is a bold and innovative graphic design which is totally different from the past ones. Can they become internationally...at least nationally popular mascots? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;They were born in the digital age (this is a keyword of London Olympic) and have already started internet social media such as Facebook and Twitter to enjoy their competition on popularity (so far, Wenlock has more followers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #cccccc;&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;english&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #274e13; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Brown&#39;s removal - Lego figures of General Election 2010 at Downing Street&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/05/general-election.html&quot;&gt;my last article&lt;/a&gt;, I wrote a summary of UK General Election. I spotted another coverage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;David Cameron and Nick Clegg carried out Gordon Brown from Downing Street, the office of the UK Prime Minister before UK General Election (so-called &quot;Brown&#39;s Removals&quot;)...it&#39;s not yet in the real life, but at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.legoland.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Legoland Windsor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Legoland exhibits the superb miniature collection of many world-famous monuments which are built by their colorful plastic blocks. This Election figures are one of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;There are wives of the competing 3 party leaders...one of them will be the next first-lady. Pregnant Samantha Cameron, who is becoming a political fashion-leader, appears in blue maternity dress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;What a elaborate political artwork! I, LEGO-lover cannot miss this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;今年の総選挙は面白い。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;長らく政権を握ってきた労働党は低空飛行を続けて、それに保守党が反撃に出たかと思いきや、昨年の&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8043057.stm&quot;&gt;不正経費疑惑&lt;/a&gt;で次々と国民の信頼を失って心もとない。2大政党がしどろもどろな間に、今度は今まで陽の目を見なかった自由民主党が浮上してきたのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;とはいえ、3 党のどれも圧倒的な人気をとるるわけでもなく、絶対多数政党がない議会（hung parliament）になる可能性も多い。そうした状況の選挙というのはともすれば面白みにかけるのだが、今回はちょっと違う。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 120%;&quot;&gt;初めて党首討論会を開催&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;270&quot; width=&quot;450&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oAkwsFn-fv0&amp;hl=ja_JP&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oAkwsFn-fv0&amp;hl=ja_JP&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;270&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;意外だが、アメリカと違って、イギリスにはこれまで選挙前に党首討論会を開く風習はなかった。この動画は討論会の一部だが、各党首のアピール方法の違いを見ることができる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;労働党のゴードン・ブラウンは、直面する厳しい現実について触れることで聴衆の危機感を高め、そこに具体的な提案を差し出す。保守党のデービット・キャメロンは、ライバルの労働党を睨み、労働党批判に時間を割き、観衆の愛国心に訴えかける精神論的なスピーチ。自由民主党のニック・クレッグは、フレンドリーでオープンな雰囲気で、どこかオバマ米大統に似たスタイルのスピーチ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 120%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ブラウン首相、「偏屈者」発言&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;現首相のゴードン・ブラウンが選挙活動の遊説中に、ギリアン・ダフィーという 65 歳の年金生活者と会話をすることがあった。彼女は移民や犯罪の問題について質問し、その場は難なく終わったが、彼はここで一世一代の過ちを犯すことにことになる。会話が終わり、車に戻った後も、シャツにピンでつけられたマイクはオフになっていないことに気づかず、「あれはひどかった…彼女はまったくの偏屈女だ」と言ってしまったのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;その発言が物議を醸し出し、TV でも延々とこの話題が放送された。ゴードン・ブラウンは BBC のラジオ2で謝罪し、個人的に会いに行って謝らなければならないという異例の事態。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;その波は&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/election-2010/7664387/General-Election-2010-who-are-the-newspapers-backing.html&quot;&gt;メディア&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;にも押し寄せた。日本と違って、イギリスの新聞はそれぞれの支持政党を明言している。この暴言事件が起こってから、いくつかのメディアは支持政党を変更せざるをえなくなってしまったのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;例えば、フィナンシャル タイムズは保守党支持を明言している。他の新聞社、サン、ネーム・オブ・ザ・ワールド、ガーディアン、タイムズ、エコノミストは長らく労働党を支持してきたが、ここに来てそのスタンスを変更しなくてはならなくなったのだ。ほとんどは労働党から保守党支持に転換し、ガーディアンだけが自由民主党に転換した。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;このように様々なエピソートを作ってきた今回の General Election も投票間近。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;今日の時点の世論調査では保守党がリードしているが、どうなることか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;出典：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This year is getting more exciting than previous one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The Labour is now flying low after being in office for last 13 years. The Conservative was on the counterattack against it, however it really didn&#39;t work since they were blamed for notorious&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8043057.stm&quot;&gt;expenses claims&lt;/a&gt;. While two main parties are struggling, it gave a chance to come under the spotlight to the Liberal Democrats which has been far from the limelight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So far, none of them seems strong enough to take power and it may result in hung parliament. The situation like this is rather boring for observers. But it&#39;s a bit different this time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 120%;&quot;&gt;The First Election Debate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Unlike the US, party leaders didn&#39;t have a chance to debate in the public before in the UK. The video above shows how each leader is appealing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Gordon Brown(Labour) sometimes frightened the audience by the talking about the reality and show his concrete suggestions. David Cameron(Tories) spend his time to criticize the Labour and appeal more to audience&#39;s patriotic spirit. Nick Clegg(Lib-Dems) spoke in more friendly and open style like Obama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Actually, the poll after the debate showed the Liberal Democrats received the highest public support rate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 120%;&quot;&gt;Brown&#39;s &quot;Bigot&quot; made newspapers turn back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;During the election campaign, Gordon Brown, the prime minister had a conversation with Gillian Duffy,&amp;nbsp;65 year-old pensioner. She asked him a few questions about immigrant and crime. The conversation was OK...but he made a big mistake. After he got into his car, he said &quot;That was a disaster...She&#39;s just a sort of bigoted woman&quot; without realizing the microphone pinned to his shirt was still on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So it came to one of the top issues which was broadcast every minute. Gordon Brown had to apologize on a BBC Radio 2 and travel to see her in person. She has supported the Labour all the time but now she stopped it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Unlike Japanese media, British newspapers clearly announce a supporting political party. Some newspapers had to change their political allegiances after the Bigot incidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;For example, Financial Times is backing for the Conservative. Other newspapers, the Sun, the News of the World, the Guardian, the Times, and the Economist have supported the Labour but had to change their allegiances. Most of them switched from the Labour to the Conservative, and only the Guardian from the Labour to the Liberal Democrats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;日本でロケされたシリーズでは、新幹線と日産 GT−R のどちらが目的地に早く到着するか競ったり、車の試乗コーナーでは、イギリスで観た回には装甲車が登場。辛辣なコメントが飛び交い、突拍子もない企画で出演者が重症を負ったり、亡くなったこともある過激なエンターテイメント番組。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;この回は&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BB%E3%83%87%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BB%E3%83%99%E3%83%B3%E3%83%84_S%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;メルセデスの S クラス&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;をジェレミーが試乗し、最新機能を試す中、音声認識機能に「くだらないラジオ局」と言うと、BBC ラジオ 1 がかかってお喜び、といったシニカルな部分はさすがイギリス的ユーモア。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;この回で圧巻だったのは、冒頭の動画にあるメルセデス S クラスの大改造。メルセデスの皮のシートを酷評するジェレミーが、車内を自分の家のようにしてほしいと、インテリアデザインをフランス人のマリーの依頼する。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;そこから始まるのが英仏戦争を呈したぶつかりあい。ジェレミーは、ヘンリー ５ 世の率いるイングランド軍がフランス軍を破った「アジンコートの戦い」を引き合いに出すし、マリーは「フライドポテトにお酢をかけて食べるなんて、どうみたって変よ」と反撃。車番組を超えた応戦は、車マニアでない私でも楽しめる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;最終的に、ジェレミーは強引にセメントを投入し、木の床をひいて、念願の袖付き椅子を置き、暖炉や本棚まで設け、車内にはティーセットまである。しかもその車を試運転してしまうのだが、コンクリートの重さでスピードは出ないし、座席はツルツルに磨いた木の床の上を滑ってしまうし、走行中に暖炉の煙突は吹っ飛んでしまう。ブレーキランプが点灯しないことに気がつくけど、電気系統の配線は全てコンクリートの下で後の祭り…。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;だけど頑にこの車を愛する、偏屈で熱狂的なジェレミーはイギリス人の共感をそそるのだろう。あまりにもイギリス人らしく、私はそんなところが好き。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;私がイギリスにいた頃は日曜日の夕方に放送されていて、日曜日のサザエさんのように、観る度に週末が終わる哀愁を感じる番組だった。じつはあまり観たことがなくて、こんなに面白い番組だったとは…これも字幕があるからなんだけど。英語、がんばろう。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I prefer to study British English, so many UK-manias turn up in a classroom. One of my classmates told me&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.topgear.com/uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Top Gear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;started being broadcast on BS Fuji (Friday 24:00-25:00) and it made me so excited.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Top Gear is one of the best motor TV-shows in the UK which started in 1977. 3 real-British guys, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May drive and challenge lunatic car races in every episode. Though the TV program was suspended once, now it got worldwide renown among car manias and &amp;nbsp;has been broadcast in the US, Canada, and so on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This program is not only a car show, rather huge entertainment with British sense of humor. &amp;nbsp;When they did a shooting in Japan, Shinkansen(Japanese bullet train) raced with Nissan GT-R. Even an armored vehicle appeared in a episode which I&#39;ve seen in the UK. It is sometimes extreme entertainment show in which caustic comments pop-up every minute and some cast suffered severe injury and other was dead from extremely adventurous challenge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of course it showed he stalled without reservation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He tried the latest equipment and shouted &quot;the most lavish radio station&quot;...then he got so satisfied as the car started playing BBC radio 1. You can see a piece of British sense of humor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It&#39;s such a crazy race!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He complained about the leather seats and asked Marie, French interior designer to remodel the car like his home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He had tantrum against her and shouted &quot;Tweed doesn&#39;t go with it, I want...I want wing-back chair!!&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Then Marie insisted &quot;Vinegar on chips are really revolting.&quot; These battles are fun enough for a no-car mania like me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Cement went into the car instead of the floor stripped out and set wooden floor on it. His long cherished items were installed...wing-back chairs, fire stove, small bookshelf and even tea set. They tried the car which didn&#39;t run fast enough with heavy cement. The chairs slipped on the freshly-waxed floor, the chimney went off during the run, and brake lump didn&#39;t work....any way an electric wiring&amp;nbsp;was under the cement. They had nothing to do with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In a sense, he is a typical British. I like him, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It evoked some sorrowful mood at the end of weekend, just like &quot;Sazae-san.&quot; Actually I didn&#39;t watch the program often in the UK. Thanks to subtitles, I could enjoy many cranky words and blue jokes. I need to study English more...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;TED（Technology Entertainment Design）のことを知ったのは、イギリスの TV シェフ、ジェイミー・オリバーの Twitter でのつぶやきからだった。以前、このブログでも彼の&lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/02/ted-prize.html&quot;&gt;表彰スピーチ&lt;/a&gt;を紹介した。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;TED は、著名な方々の革新的なスピーチをインターネット上で惜しみなく、無料で紹介している。それはクリス・アンダーソンの話題の書、「 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4140814047?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=ukgrapefruit-22&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=247&amp;amp;creative=7399&amp;amp;creativeASIN=4140814047&quot;&gt;フリー ~〈無料〉からお金を生みだす新戦略&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.jp/e/ir?t=ukgrapefruit-22&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=9&amp;amp;a=4140814047&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;」でも紹介されている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ネットで全世界に向けて配信する上で必要となってくるのが、動画につける翻訳。なんと TED の動画についた字幕は、全てボランティアの翻訳者・レビュアーによって作成されている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;今回志願して、初めて TED で翻訳をてがけたのが、ジェイミー・ヘイウッドのスピーチ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;じつは、ジェイミー・オリバーを選択しようとして、たまたまジェイミー・ヘイウッドを選んでしまい、担当することになったという偶然のめぐりあわせだった（不純な動機でごめんなさい、ヘイウッドさん）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;でも、この偶然が ALS（筋萎縮側索硬化症）という難病、それだけでなく、人が生きることの本質について、また人が生きていく上でどう社会と関わっているのか、テクノロジーはそのために何をすることができるのか、といったことについて考えるきっかけを与えてくれたのだ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;予備知識も何もなかったので、&lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/04/als.html&quot;&gt;立岩 真也「ALS 不動の身体と息する機械」&lt;/a&gt;など、限られた時間で関連情報を漁った。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;ジェイミーは最新のテクノロジーで、ALS 患者であった弟の生そして死を無駄にしないために、病と闘う全ての人のために Web ツールを開発した。果敢な挑戦は Apple のタイムマシーンの技術まで巻き込んで、この辺りはさすが MIT 卒業生。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;時として、人生は驚くほど残酷だけど、ジェイミーがスピーチの中で紹介している活動のように、厳しい現実から目をそらさず、優しいまなざしでできる限りのことをするという前向きさにはっとさせられた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;動画の翻訳は初めてで&lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/04/ted.html&quot;&gt;慣れないこと&lt;/a&gt;もあったが、無事に翻訳は字幕として公開された。拙い翻訳のレビューをしてくれた Kaori さん、どうもありがとうございました！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Jamie Heywood: The big idea my brother inspired&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I found TED (Technology Entertainment Design) by a tweet of Jamie Liver, English TV chef. I wrote about his winner&#39;s presentation in &lt;a href=&quot;http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/02/ted-prize.html&quot;&gt;my previous post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;TED offers tremendous numbers of speeches by innovative people...scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, activists, and so on. Amazingly they provide all movies for free which is introduced in a simulating book, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Price-ebook/dp/B002DYJR4G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;m=A6U6H3H6WHQPH&amp;amp;s=digital-text&amp;amp;qid=1278405431&amp;amp;sr=8-2&quot;&gt;&quot;Free: The Future of a Radical Price&quot; by Chris Anderson&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Once they started delivering videos across the Internet, the translation for them has been needed for international audience. Believe or not, all translation and subtitles are made by volunteer translators and reviews all over the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This is my first challenge to join TED translation project. My first translation was the speech by Jamie Haywood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;To be honest, I selected Jamie &quot;Heywood&quot; when I was about to choose Jamie &quot;Oliver.&quot; Then I was given an honorable chance to translate his presentation (sorry, Mr.Haywood...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This coincidence brought me the chance to think about ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), intractable disease, then why we live, how we connect with people, and what technology could do for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;As I started without any previous knowledge, I had to find related information (e.g. Books by Shinya Tachiiwa &quot;ALS - immobile body and breathing machine&quot;) over a finite period of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Jamie utilized cutting-edge technologies to develop Web tool for all struggling patients and not left his brother&#39;s life and death in vain. His valiant challenge employed &quot;time machine&quot;... Apple&#39;s unique technology. I have no doubt that he is one of the brilliant and skilled MIT graduate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Generally, life is so cruel. Jamie talked about his activity with strong motivation. I was deeply impressed that he accepted the hard facts of life, tried to do his best and always did not forget to give a benevolent gaze to patients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;It was also &lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/04/ted.html&quot;&gt;a new challenge&lt;/a&gt; for me to translate and caption a movie. Now I&#39;m so glad that my translation was published as subtitles. Kaori-san, thank you for helping with my crude translation as a reviewer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Shinya Tachiiwa &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://minna-chikara.blogspot.com/2010/04/als.html&quot;&gt;ALS - immobile body and breathing machine&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Every their art work has an end. &amp;nbsp;Brevity makes them more artistic and aesthetic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font: 12.0px &#39;Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN&#39;; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I saw one of them which described how they developed and created the idea, plan and art work of the Pont-Neuf bridge. Christo was not satisfied to cover the bridge by large cloth. He has sharp aesthetic sense caring each drape to cover it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font: 12.0px &#39;Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN&#39;; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They get in, explain, and collaborate with thousands of people through the project. Their works appear in a public space all of sudden, and catch everyone&#39;s attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font: 12.0px &#39;Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN&#39;; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They throw a stone to all levels of people for their activities. By the end of completing the works, or even after that, people who never know each other are involved and they start communication. Some criticize the artists and works, the other have in favor. All sorts of things come out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font: 12.0px &#39;Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN&#39;; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They always had to have a long way to repeat communications for fruition.

Both of us got so surprised that Mrs. Baker had 18 miscarriages at 33 for 13 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Her doctor found out that her white blood cells caused a problem with pregnancy. &quot;Eighteen miscarriages is a huge number. You&#39;re more likely to win the lottery than have 18 miscarriages through bad luck.&quot;... his words sound so shocking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Around 100 years ago, many women had to take a fatal risk when they delivered a baby. Even now, some of my friends had to experience a  miscarriage despite of advance in modern medicine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Well, we will easily forget all sorts of things, even the hardest part in your life. One of my friend finally got a baby boy after 2 miscarriages. Now she sometimes becomes hard on his little boy when she lacks a balance between her job and household responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;When she looks stressed out, I tell her &quot;you could finally give birth to a baby boy despite of 2 miscarriages. It&#39;s amazing, you&#39;ve done a great job. Not all women cannot have a baby, so you&#39;re such a lucky girl!&quot; As soon as she is told like that, she looks enchanted and has a big smile on her face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Though I am writing this, who knows what will happen to me?

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;His works are always cynical, witty, pop and filled with sense of British humour.

Moreover, as Banksy keeps his identity a close secret, the collectors will never know who drew the mural.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Anyway, 2 collectors paid ￡30,000 to the construction company. After digging it out of the ground for 9 days and 9 nights, the mural will be removed into a 1-tonne steel frame by using a crane. Finally it will be moved to a secret location in the North of England.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;On my first reading, I thought it was the story of love and passion by 2 collectors who would not care any risks for their love of art. When I knew they were preparing to sell the mural for ￡500,000, my throb turned into disappointment suddenly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;I wonder whether one of Banksy&#39;s works is still existing in the tunnel for old Eurostar at Waterloo station. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;」でギエムを観てきました（2 月 6 日、ゆうぽうと）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;今回の注目の的と言えば、ルグリとギエムの 15 年ぶりの共演。踊られたのは、キリアンの「優しい嘘」とケネス・マクミランの「三人姉妹」の 2 演目でした。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;2007 年に、ニコラ・ル・リッシュと踊った時には、ル・リッシュに抱きかかえられ、その腕の上で体を丸く縮めるギエムの姿が、儚く危うい息吹をもつ胎児のように見え、不思議な安息の瞬間があった。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;毎回、静謐なこの作品を観ていると、音楽がモンテベルディからグレゴリアン聖歌へと移り変わっていくうちに、ついつい観ている自分も無我の境地に陥ってしまうのが難点。瞑想している内にあっという間に小品が終わってしまう。。。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;今回、ルグリと踊る様子は、ともかく二人共よく動くので、キリアンの世界の「静」以上に、冒頭から「動」のイメージが強い。そこまで身体を動かすかと、まず二人の驚愕的な身体性を再認識。双方が対等に動けるが故に、静かな空間を切り裂くような躍動感を相乗効果で醸し出す。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;とはまた異なる静謐で緻密な世界は、禅のような静寂な世界を思い起こさせる。ギエムとルグリのペアは、彼らだからなし得る熟練した形で、動と静の対比の中に巧みに無の境地を表現した。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;チェーホフの同名小説が元になっているこの作品では、田舎教師のクルイギンとの結婚に息が詰まる思いをしていた次女マーシャ（ギエム）は、ヴェルシーニン中佐（ルグリ）と恋に落ちる。今回の公演では、この中から最後の「別れ」のパ・ド・ドゥが踊られた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;この作品も、今までにギエムとニコラ・ル・リッシュのペアで何度か観たことがあるが、ギエムのベストパートナーは、クラシックバレエとしてあるべき形…男性が女性をひきたてるスタイルで相手をサポートし、お互いの苦悩と愛情のぶつかりを表現していた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;今回のルグリでは、あえて「女性をひきたてる」という趣向は薄まった感があった。ここでギエムとルグリという今世紀のスターダンサー二人が全く対等に渡り合って、互いの才能と個性を舞台上でぶつけあい、作品の芸術性を高めているかのようで新鮮だった。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;他の芸術と違わず、バレエでも観客が好むのは喜劇より悲劇。演じる方とってはじつは喜劇の方が数倍も難しいのだけど、観客は自らの悲しみのカタルシスのために悲劇を好み、興行側もその時流に乗ることを忘れない。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

They stands out from any other dancers in dynamic and aesthetic movement. Both of them were free from any restrictions with a hardened body and an aesthetic sensibility.

She fell in love with Lt. Colonel Vershinin.

Le Riche supported and squired Guillem by following the ideal way of classical ballet. Their movement brought their love, passion and sadness directly to the audience. In the end, it turned into emotional conflict to be torn by their family, society, and fate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline- color:initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;  color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;  color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;In contrast, Regris didn’t really follow this classical approach. Two distinguished star-dancers in the century were truly equal again throughout the program. They danced with a strong partnership. The discord of their talent and personality made the artistic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;caliber of the work amazingly higher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Regarding Masha performed by Guillem, I’d like to introduce the words by a dance reviewer, Ann Nugent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style=&quot;border: 1px solid #777777; padding:10px; margin-left: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&quot;Their heroines are prevented from leading fulfilled lives because of social expectations attached to their situations. Guillem, far from suggesting that she is an inheritor of roles, approaches the different characters in her own idiom. Her Masha and Marguritte reveal glimpse of a modern sensibility, and from time to time they brush with danger.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;For Masha, the middle sister, who is trapped into a respectable but loveless marriage, there comes a brief period of happiness when she meets Lt Col. Vershinin. Masha&#39;s joy, as she catches sight of a destiny that could be hers is tinged with sadness. You can feel this in Guillem&#39;s ecstatic sweeps of movement she seems to reach for the unattainable.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ann Nugent &quot;Sylvie Guillem as Masha and Marguerite&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:x-small;&quot;&gt;*Marguerite is a heroine in &quot;Marguerite and Armand&quot; choreographed by Frederick Ashton. One of the Guillem&#39;s best performances at Royal Ballet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt; Romance and love with obstacles and difficulties are the main theme of the work.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Both of Masha and Vershinin had a partner and child, and it was impossible for them to carry on loving each other. As Nugen wrote, Guillem’s all steps traced her love with sadness and made us filled with painful pathos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Guillem has performed only contemporary program recently. After I saw her more emotional dance than when she performed at the one at the Opera national de Paris or Royal Ballet, I cannot stop &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;long for her dancing classical programs. Her Masha realized me that she was still evolving her dance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Like other form of art, audience prefers tragedy to comedy in ballet, too. It’s much harder for artists to perform tragedy than comedy. But audience wants tragedy for cathartic effects, and promoters never forget to chase after what the audience want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;I wouldn’t mind to see tragedy personally,&lt;br /&gt;but I don’t want tragedy in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;アンケート調査によると、男性が最も好む下着の色は黒&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一昔前というと、バレンタイン・デーに男性から、レースのついた赤い下着を女性に送るのがイギリスでは人気だったそうです（外国ではバレンタイン・デーは男女が互いにプレゼントを用意する）。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;それが最新の調査によると逆転し、男性が相手の下着の色として最も嫌いな色として、半数以上が赤と回答。それに続いて不人気なのはピンク系（18%）、ベージュ系（11%）。逆に最も人気なのが黒で、2 番目に人気なのは白だと判明。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;同じ調査によると、イギリスの 3 分の 2 の女性は、まだ赤が一番男性が好むセクシーな色だと思っているので、相互でギャップが生まれているようです。この記事を読んで、バレンタイン・デーの下着の色を変えた女性がどれだけいたのしょう…。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;この結果、イギリスならではでしょうか。少し前にとある日本の女性誌で見かけた調査結果では、日本で男性が相手の下着の色として不人気ナンバー 1 だったのは黒、それに続いて赤系、パープル系とあった記憶が。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;文化圏によって、文化人類学的に色の効果も変わってくるのでしょうか。さらなる調査をお願いしたいところです。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt; Dr Beckmann という衣類・家庭用洗剤を販売している企業でした。確かに、この会社の染み抜きはスーパーにもありました。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Once red, racy lingerie was a popular gift for Valentine&#39;s Day from man in the UK (in Japan. only woman gives a present to man with a confess of love on the day... in most of the case). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;New lingerie survey exposes the totally different result. More than half of British men say red is the least favorite colour for their partner&#39;s lingerie. Pink (18%) and flesh-tones (11%) are following after this. Most favorite colour is black, closely followed by white.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The survey also shows almost two-thirds women think their men prefer to see them in red lingerie. Well, how many women changed the colour of their bra and knickers on Valentine&#39;s Day after reading the article?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;This seems a typical result of British men. The article in a Japanese women&#39;s magazine showed a similar survey which I read a couple of months ago. It said black was the least favorite colour of girlfriend&#39;s lingerie for Japanese men. As far as I remember, red and purple followed after that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Are there any cultural difference in favorite colours in the light of anthropology? I look forward to their further study on this issue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;By the way, I mistook the description of the body of this survey &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dr-beckmann.co.uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Dr Beckmann&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&quot; as lingerie expert instead of laundrycare expert. When I searched the name, what I found was totally different from my expectation... it was a company handling cleaner for laundry or household. Yes, I saw their stain removers in Tesco or Sainsbury&#39;s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Going back to several years ago, there was a gossip that red lingerie was a lucky item for women, especially when they had a exam. Some newspapers said &quot;all women are rushing into a shop for red lingerie, it is difficult to find red one on the street.&quot; But I remember I could easily find it even around Oxford Street. It was really Japanese-like gimmick by retailers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/02/uk.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Noriko Araki)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987515473132420892.post-7799611172449443058</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Feb 2010 03:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-13T12:59:01.098+09:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Life / 生活</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News / ニュース</category><title>ジェイミー・オリバー、TED Prize を受賞</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;は、テレビらしく少し挑発的な演出がされていますが、「この子どもたちが、初めて親よりも短い間しか生きることができない世代だ」と子どもの食生活に関する警鐘には切迫感があります。「家庭」「学校」「社会（Main Street）」の 3 つの側面からの改善策は、企業の CSR にまで話は及びますが、消して大金のかかるプロジェクトではない、と彼は説明します。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;私がイギリスにいた頃は、ちょうど彼がイギリスの学校給食を改善しようと取り組んでいた頃で、そのことがテレビだけでなく新聞でも取り上げられていました。そこでも、そして今回も一番大きな壁となっているのが、大人の無知と給食のおばさんたちの反抗。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;イギリス版の番組の最後では、生徒の親たちが学校に招かれ、改善された給食を試食して、まっとうな食事がどれだけ体にも心にも良いものかと思い知ります。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;

 style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;. He is also famous in Japan. You can watch his speech at the ceremony on 10 February from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/765&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt; or just click the image above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;He became a popular TV chef for his friendly personality and stylish food. He did not become complacent with his status as a celebrity chef. He launched the program to improve school dinner  in England and support dropped-out teenagers by offering working experience in his restaurant. He is a real social entrepreneur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;He was  commended for his 7-year program to improve children&#39;s diet in the US following his achievement in the UK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;A kid take a tomato for a potato (I know they are the same family :-) ) or a cauliflower for a broccoli ...it&#39;s still not so serious. You can see the same thing in Japan. Once I read an article about a lunch box at a kindergarten in Japan. It was filled with rice and many cheep sweets. I assume Japan is still ahead of Britain and US in healthy diet, but this article was something for me to blow a whistle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;There are some clips from the trailer of Jamie&#39;s TV program in his speech video. He made his new challenge in Huntington, West Virginia where nearly half of the adults are considered obese. Family doesn&#39;t know cooking food and pizza is their breakfast. That is normal daily life there. Eating pizza is even worse than in the UK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Even at school, milk means normally processed product containing a lot of sugar, chemical ingredients and artificial color. He demonstrated how children took in sugar for a year after drinking sugared milk by showing shocking visual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-mYAoWu-O8&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Unhealthiest City in America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&quot;, the trailer of TV program is a bit more straight forward and sensational in TV&#39;s emotional way.  But what he said &quot;this is the first generation living shorter than parents&quot; is very serious word regarding children&#39;s diet and life. He explained his project from three aspects, &quot;Home&quot;, &quot;School&quot;, and &quot;Main Street.&quot; It covered CSR and is a really big topic. But he said it didn&#39;t cost a huge amount of money for the project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;While I was staying in London, Jamie was tackling to improve school dinner in England. Not only his TV program but newspapers kept paying attention to this topic. The mighty walls against him is always people&#39;s ignorance and dinner ladies&#39; resistance even in the US.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;In the last story of his UK&#39;s TV program, parents visited school and eat the improved school dinner. They found out what a terrible meal their children ate and that the proper meal made them healthy physically and mentally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Actually  I am not so keen on my meal these days, and don&#39;t eat three times a day.

Creative chefs in the UK are keen on &quot;Umami&quot;, this mystery of Japanese cuisine. Umami is one of the key elements in Japanese cuisine as the “fifth taste” following sweet, sour, salt and bitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.umamiinfo.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;UMAMI Information Center&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; is a organisation which has several offices in Tokyo, London and New York.

My teacher of domestic science taught us about Umami to explain how to cook Japanese traditional soup. Umami seemed a really important issue, we found it was on a semi-final exam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days, Sushi became very popular in the UK, and you can find it even at a supermarket like Waitrose. But most of the British still hesitate to eat raw fish. Only upper or middle class has a privilege to eat them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally speaking, British food is taste-less. The Latin European often pour scorn on and write off the British as no sense of taste. I wonder how the British can enjoy this subtle, delicate and beautiful taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.umamiinfo.com/expert_view/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;UMAMI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.umamiinfo.com/expert_view/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; Information Center&#39;s Web site&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt; introduces not only traditional Japanese cuisine but many kinds of unique fusion inspired by &quot;Umami&quot; culture. Let&#39;s have a look and see what&#39;s going on with the cross-cultural encounters and new mixture of them!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uk-grapefruit.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-umami.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Noriko Araki)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXX0-8kQBiBCAAfPR1P0Oj1kfNtN_pS5AkI6F1PULgfS212kYfMzgvQWiNN63_KRo3Zg1zGld_3w2pKOkdTnlyungj-ChtRmrU2DFwyG4OUSBtTfcxu5mfRRW33B_Fz23Z8nx_tiBRSKQZ/s72-c/dashi_umami.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
