(1) There is not the person who is going to still raise the action with the rational gain body in line with Japanese social reality.

(2) The truth is that they get tired and was over, they become irritated by receiving the bullying of the enemy daringly and comprise it in the future revenge for the enemy.

1(A) 次の英文の内容を、70~80字の日本語に要約せよ。句読点字数に含める。

1(A) 次の英文の内容を、70~80字の日本語に要約せよ。句読点字数に含める。

Japanese is concluded from two of the next.

At first a source language as the shared sound and form exists. Then, the high language that only a ruler can understand exists. This high language is special, and the person ruled over cannot understand this. Japanese race is surely a race sharing a language. However, the language that they share is a sound and form low-grade to the last, and the language for the ruler is never shared to them.

For Japanese shared by a Japanese, there is only the language that is so-called base character.

In the future, the Japanese may not share a high-level language either. The Japanese is divided into the ruler who is a sophisticate and a person ruled over. They are the races which still share a lower language by a sound and the form, but the language equal to a European and American language is never shared. It depends on the next reason.

The Japanese ruler is angry at the native most badness of Japanese people and performs transcendence-like self-generation. He thereby becomes a man of power. That means, it means that the Japanese of the overwhelming majority that cannot be angry at a native human being cannot follow a ruler. In other words, in Japan, the democratic constitution is never agreed. The reason why all the Japanese get ability for agreement for such a constitution is at first impossible. Thus, there is not the constitution of the democracy in Japan.

In Japan, the phenomenon that the agreement for the democratic constitution is concluded is absolutely impossible. It is only an empire constitution that Japan can exist.

The Japanese cannot get a modern nation by the power of GHQ either. The Japanese can make only a German empire constitution of the 19th century.

The Nazis abolished the constitution like superior German welfare principles, but, in Japan, they are surely less than it. Japan cannot agree even the constitution like the principle of welfare. The Japanese ruler can adopt only the empire constitution that a German establish after Holy Roman Empire collapse.

In the first place the phenomenon that 100 million human beings whom there is in Japan agree a democracy constitution is never caused. However, the Japanese emperor can establish a dominant constitution.

百田尚樹NHK経営委員であることの有害さに日本人は気づくべき


百田尚樹しょうもないことを言ってまた注目を集めているが、

彼が海外における日本イメージをどれだけ毀損しているか知らない日本人が多い。

なぜか。

日本人にとっては、彼は単なる探偵ナイトスクープ放送作家上がりの思想的に右よりの売れっ子作家であって、

彼がいくら「南京虐殺存在しない」(数じゃなくて存在の否定!)だの「人間のクズ」だの、他国馬鹿にする発言をしようと「また、百田尚樹が変なこと言ってるな」と捉えて終わりだ。

彼自身「私は世間で叩かれるほどの大物ではない。一介のエンタメ作家で、しかキャリアも浅い素人みたいなもの」と言っているように。

だが、海外メディアはどう伝えるか。

Naoki Hyakuta」なんて知らないし伝わらない。「一介のエンタメ作家で、しかキャリアも浅い素人みたいなもの」と伝える訳がない。

なぜなら彼は、NHK経営委員なのだから

当然見出しは「日本BBC放送局の委員が~」「安倍の側近が~」をしたという風に書かれる。

まり、率直に、"NHK Governor: Nanjing Massacre 'Never Happened'と書かれる。当然だ。これを見た海外の人はどう思うだろうか。

http://thediplomat.com/2014/02/nhk-governor-nanjing-massacre-never-happened/

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26029614

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/how-japans-bbc-is-rewriting-its-role-in-second-world-war-9115827.html

Japan's conservative government has made a series of right wing appointments to the board of NHK, one of the world's biggest public broadcasters.”

http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/radio/program/asia-pacific/abe-government-threatens-nhks-credibility/1315046

これは「BBCの委員がホロコーストを否定し、何のお咎めもない」に相当するものであって、

百田や籾井が失言をする度に、このような表現で報じられるので、もはや日本国営放送は完全に偏向的で、日本人過去歴史を否定するようBrainwashedされてると思われている。

当然のように、このHyakutaなる人気作家はAbeのお気に入りメンバーに選ばれたとの説明("handpicked by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ")がされることが多く、それは実際正しい。

安倍首相も似たような思想を持っていると当然海外では思われているし、政府の抗議を受け修正したものの今年の3月に、NY Timesが

""He and other nationalists still claim that the Nanjing massacre by Japanese troops in 1937 never happened.""と書いたように、これが海外での共通認識となりつつある。

これははっきり言って百田が与えた日本イメージである

これは単なる漫画家であり、何の公的委員でもない、美味しんぼの作者が毀損する日本イメージに比べても悪質だ。

結局のところ、百田尚樹NHK経営委員であり続ける限り、この問題は続く。彼が「失言」をやめるはずがないからだ。

その度に、「JapanBBCの委員でAbeの側近」があれこれした、こんな酷いことを言った、日本はどれだけ右傾化しているんだ、という記事が止むことはない。

海外の人は百田尚樹のことを単なる面白発言する関西弁の右よりのおじさんとは見ない。また「百田か」などと思わない。これは籾井に関しても同じだが。

日本公共放送代表の発言として見る。海外メディアは彼を公的な存在として報じるほかない。これを忘れてはいけない。

I have just come back from a one month trip to Indonesia. While I was there, Microsoft blocked my access to my hotmail account. They claimed that they had noted that I was using a machine overseas. The only remedy that they offered was to obtain a security code that would be sent to my Australian mobile number. However, my Australian mobile phone does not allow roaming without a large security deposit, so I would not be able to see this security code while I was still overseas.

戦後韓国慰安婦制度の使用」に関する海外研究

韓国訪問したオバマが「慰安婦はとんでもない人権侵害だ」と発言した。

それに対して安倍総理は「筆舌に尽くしがたい思いをされた慰安婦の方々のことを思うと本当に胸が痛む思い」だとし、

「20世紀は女性を始め、多くの人権侵害された世紀であった。人権侵害が起こらない21世紀にするため、日本も大きな貢献をしたい」と述べた。

これはちょっと意外な発言で、日韓メディア右派左派ともにちょっと戸惑った感じがしたように思える。

安部首相の真意がどういうものなのか、これからの行動を見ないと分からないが、

これは、慰安婦に対する人権侵害を認めつつ、「慰安婦制度をやっていたのは日本だけでなかった」という文脈を作ろうとしているのかなと思えた。

それはオバマの発言に対して、「米軍慰安婦はどうなんだ」「朴正煕韓国軍慰安婦管理はどうなんだ」という反応が多く見られたものを反映していると思う。

20世紀」という一般化といい、正直なかなかうまい手というか、慰安婦問題に対して右左をなだめる、これまでにないスタンスになるかもと思った。

そうなってくると、戦後韓国慰安婦制度本当にあったのかという話になってくる。あったなら、慰安婦像海外に建てるキャンペーンが別の意味を持ってくる。

別にあいつらもやってから、俺らは悪くない」という意図ではなく、

実際問題として、日本謝罪もし、アジア女性基金設立した一方で、韓国自身が実は同じ問題を抱えていたのに黙殺するという事態は、事実を明らかにする上でも好ましくないと思う。

まとめサイトではソースあいまいものも含めてよく目にするが、いくら内輪で盛り上がっても意味は皆無で

海外でどのようにどのように研究されているか、というのが重要になると思う。

残念ながら、メディアという点では海外では概して「20万人の韓国人日本性奴隷にされた」「日本はその歴史を否定しようとしている」という文脈で報じられているのがほとんどだ。

しかし、アカデミズムの分野では、ここ最近韓国自身の慰安婦制度に目を向けられているものも増えているように見受けられる。

おおよそ中立的立場であると見受けられるC.Sarah Sohという研究者2009年出版された"The Comfort Women"という本は海外でも評判が高いようなので、色々調べようと思った。

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6068978-the-comfort-women

検索すると、Google Readersで一部内容が見ることができ、その部分にちょうど韓国慰安婦制度について記述しているところがあったので、メモ代わりに引用しておく。

もちろん、この本は、日本慰安婦制度、および人権侵害にも厳しい目を向けているが、

この部分の結論としては、韓国慰安婦生存者を日本の抵抗のシンボルとして英雄扱いする一方で、韓国自身の慰安婦制度含む性の人権侵害には目を向けてこなかったということを言っている。

韓国戦後慰安婦制度を使用してきた」という事実は、単なるネット右翼デマではなく、海外研究者にも裏付けられている事実であり、もっと注目されるべきではないかなと思う。

"The Comfort Women: Sexual Violence and Postcolonial Memory in Korea and Japan" by C.Sarah Soh

(p:211~)

After its liberation from Japanese rule in August 1945,the Korean Peninsula was divided into two: Soviet troops occupied the northern half and the US military the southern half. The ongoing US military presence in South Korea led to the formation and maintenance of “Camp towns” (kijich’on, in Korean) around the military bases, a development that has had a striking social impact on Korean communities. Kijich’on (literally, base or camp [kiji] village [ch’on]) refers to the civilian world of commercial establishments and residential buildings that have sprung up around the US military bases and cater to the needs of the American GI’s. It is “ a place where Koreans and Americans- mostly male military personnel- meet in an economic and emotional marriage of convenience”. As of the end of 1996, 37,000 American troops supported the economies of ninety-six kijich’on. The estimated number of kijich’on prostitutes over the first four decades of the American presence ranges between 250,000 and 300,000.

(中略)

The kijich'on sex trade consolidated and expanded during the second phase, which began with the Korean War. In her testimony, Pak Sun-i who had laboured at three different comfort startions in Japan 1944 to the end of the war, recalled:

"At twenty-seven years of age, I was having a hard time making ends meet in Tongduch'on (the largest kijich'on just outside Seoul). I ended up cohabiting with a staff sergeant of the USArmy for about two years... One of my friends from the days at a comfort station in Japan also worked as yang-gonju, but she passed away."

An American veteran who served in Korea in the 1950s after the end of the Korean War recounted that on Friday nights half-ton trucks would bring into the base a few hundred women to stay the night or the weekend with the soldiers. In 1958, five years after the armistice, the majority of about 300,000 prostitutes in Korea reportedly served American soldiers. Some of them, like their earlier Japanese counterparts(RAA), married and emigrated to the United States as wives of servicemen.

The fact that the Korean military also availed themselves of the "special comfort unit" during the Korean War has received little public attention even after the Korean women's movement in support of the "comfort women" began in the 1990s. Only piecemeal anecdotal materials on it had come to light from memoirs written by retired generals and generals and the testimony of soldiers who fought in the war.

(中略)

Characterizing the Korean military comfort system as an "unfortunate offspring" of the Japanese colonial legacy, Kim Kwi-ok called for victimized women, civic organizations, and scholars to come together and confront the unresolved issues of this historical injustice. The media reports of Kim's work, however, have generated little response. There has been no public outcry regarding the Korean military's use of "comfort women" during the Korean War or its violation of women's human rights. Korean silence over these issues is reminiscent of earlier societal indifference toward survivors of imperial Japan's comfort system, It mirrors the reticence of many Japanese to come to terms with the history of their country's wartime comfort system. As in the case of Japan, many in Korea, including retired military leaders, apparently regard the women's sexual labour simply as the performance of gendered customary sex labour in order to meet the needs of fighting men. It is noteworthy that military authorities have acknowledged that the system of special comfort units contradicts the national policy of banning licensed prostitution. Nonetheless, they have insisted that the special units were created to fulfill an important strategic end.

(中略)

(日本人韓国への売春ツアー、及び韓国人東南アジアへの売春ツアーは看過されてきたが、という話の後)

However, when it comes to the issue of Japan's wartime "comfort women" system, which has been redefined by the international community as a prominent case of violence against women in armed conflict, no social critic or public intellectual in Korea would dare to take the customary masculinist position that such a system benefits the economy or promotes national security. This is because the comfort women issue has been redefiend as military sexual slavery and a war crime by the international community owing largely to women's collaborative movement for redress in Japan and Korea.

Still, little critical public discourse has occurred on the legacies of that historical institution or the social structural dimension of Korea'S comfort women tragedy. Few are willing to consider the unsavoury fact that, accustomed to indigenous public institutions that have granted customary sex rights to men, and licensed by the colonial government, many Koreans did not hesitate to collaborate in recruiting and runing comfort stations by trafficking in girls and young women. Rather than deal with the messy and unpleasant complications of the historical record, Korean public discourse has simplistically elevated the survivors to heroic symbols of national suffering under Japanese colonialism and its imperialist war of aggression.

By contrast, Japan, which is unavoidably seen as the perpetrator nation, has been in turmoil over contested representations of the comfort women phenomenon and its responsibility in the matter. Meanwhile, the international - as well as domestic - trade in public sex prospers in capitalist economies of Japan and Korea despite endless incidents of criminal abuse of women so employed by both foreigners and compatriots. The social historical legacies of masculinist sexual culture and political economic realities in the two countries continue to help construct women'S sexual labour as stigmatized yet customary care labour for masculine "need".

ウィークックナビを試してみた感想

週末にまとめて1時間で下ごしらえをして、平日は10分でいっちょまえの食事ができる!という触れ込みの「ウィークックナビ」が話題になっているが、これを一週間試しにやってみたので感想を書いてみる。

http://www.weekcook.jp/

誰かの参考になれば幸い。

前提

はじめに、自分家族構成と生活スタイルを書いておく。



実際の所用時間について

これが一番気になるところだと思うが、駅徒歩何分と同じで、まず時間通りには終わらない。平日の調理と週末の準備の両方やってみたが、おおむね2.5〜3倍の時間がかかった。調理はだいたい30分、準備は2時間半〜3時間だ。あれを時間通りに終わらせられるのは、準備にかかる時間を除外した上で、やるべきことを把握した人間が最高のパフォーマンスを発揮した場合だ。

実際さっき準備を終えたところなんだが、23から始めて2時前に終わった。自分は夜更かししてよく2時3時まで起きてる人間からいいが、普段は12時に寝る規則正しい諸君、作業1時間の見込みで始めると終わらないぞ。3時間みたほうがいい。晩ご飯おわってからすぐに始めよう。

調理の難しさについて

揚げ物があってハードルが高い、という指摘はブクマでもされていた。その通りだと思う。その通りやってたら準備・後片付けだけで10分かかる。(本当はツインバードフライヤーがあるのだが、やはり油の扱いが面倒であまり使ってない)

なので、うちでは油やや大目で揚げ焼きみたいなやり方でごまかした。それで十分おいしかった。「忙しい人向け」を標榜しているくらいなので、この点はこれから改善されるといいな。

よかったとこ

(1)食卓が豪華になること。

今まで会社あがってダッシュで子供迎えに行って家帰ってメシ作って7:00〜7:30に一汁一菜の夕餉、だったのが同じ時間一汁三菜+作り置きになった。これは嬉しい。調理にだいたい〜30分かかるのだが、うちの炊飯器で早炊きモードごはんを炊くのに26分かかるので、時間がかかるといってもちょうどいいのだ。

(2)レシピを考えずに済むこと。

家にある食材(と賞味期限からレシピ計算する必要がなくなった。月曜から金曜まで決まったものを決まった通りやるだけ。頭を使わないので実に楽。あと、レシピが決まって材料があると、夫婦のどっちでも同じように調理ができるのもよい。どっちかが遅くなった日でも、残りの一方が準備されたものを仕上げられる。フェイルオーバーだ。すばらしい。

(3)生協との連携

これはまだ試していないが、うちは生協を頼んでいて木曜にその注文をしている。そしてウィークックナビのレシピは木曜更新だ。材料生協で頼んでしまえば買い込む際に重たい荷物を家まで運ぶ必要がなくなる。すばらしい。ただし生協は頼んだものがその次の周に来るシステムになっている。なので、掲載されているレシピとは1週間ずれてしまうことにはなる。

変なとこ

(1)ちょっと変なレシピがある

先週の火曜は、菜花豆腐和え物豆腐油揚のみそ汁、その翌日は麻婆豆腐だった。この豆腐ラッシュはアホじゃなかろうかと嫁が言っていた。自分もそう思う。

(2)物理的に無理な要求

4人分のカレー冷凍できる容器もスペースもうちの冷蔵庫にはない。

(3)謎のstillたれ(=醤油+みりん+酒+砂糖

自分のように説明をよく読まずにやるタイプ人間は、たぶんレシピ唐突に現れる「stillたれ」に困惑すると思う。これは「醤油+みりん+酒+砂糖」のことだ。レシピを考案した人のハンドルstillで、その人オリジナルのたれなのでstillたれなのだそうだ。作ることもできるが普通に元のを入れてもいいと思う。うちはstillたれ大2=(醤油みりん・酒)各大1+砂糖少々に変換している。

一人暮らし用について

一人暮らし向けのレシピがほしいというブクマがちらほら見られたが、簡単だ。レシピが4人前なので分量を1/2にして作れば良い。晩めしで1食、次の日の朝食orお弁当で1食でちょうどいいぞ。新生活にピッタリだ。



ああ、こんなこと書いてたらもう3:30だ。明日うまい飯食いたいな。

NYTimesが「安倍南京大虐殺存在を否定してる」って書いてるんだが

昨日の記事ね。

"He and other nationalists still claim that the Nanjing massacre by Japanese troops in 1937 never happened."

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/03/opinion/mr-abes-dangerous-revisionism.html

これってソースあるわけ?

ないなら、相当まずいレベルだと思うんだけど。

前々から日本に対する知識を持つ記者が減ってるって話はあるけど、このレベルじゃ本当やばい一定程度の知識があれば、確かめずに軽率に書かないでしょ。

安倍やばい右翼で、あらゆる歴史を否定してる奴だ!」って思い込んでないと、この文は書けない。

最近欧米メディアは明らかに中国見方に引きずられてる。

こういうのを日本の「知識人」たちが抗議せずに安倍への攻撃材料として使えるとばかりにはしゃいでるのを見てると力が抜ける。

アンネの日記事件でも、「安倍日本右翼化」と結びつける視点で書いてるし、

右よりでもなく、日本で割りと普通に流通してるような中立的でまともな意見英語で発信するジャーナリストがいないとまずいよ。

俺も安倍周辺の右翼たちは危ないと思うけど、明らかに海外に伝えられてる事項は驚くほどバイアスがかかってる。やばすぎ。

例えば、アジア女性基金の経緯というか、存在すら全く知らないしね。慰安婦問題の基礎の基礎じゃん。やばすぎ。

意訳

I’m not sure what I just watched.

「え、俺いま何見たの?」って感じですよ

Our new music video is totally yabai (“yavay”).

ヤバいでしょ。うちらのビデオ

Yabai?

ヤバいって?

Japanese slang for cool, dope, sick, ill. Fast, intense. What moves you. Yabai is yabai. There’s no other word to describe it.

日本語で、クールとかラリってるとか、病気とか、悪いって意味で……なんなんだろう。とにかく「ヤバいヤバい」としか言えないんですよ

Sort of like kawaii?

cawaiiというのとは、違うの?

No no, kawaii is only for “cute” things. Yabai is for awesome things. Bite into piping-hot pizza, it tastes yabai. Once a good DJ takes the

stage, the club gets yabai. Funky Kota is totally yabai.

違う違う。cawaiiは「可愛いもののことで、yabayは「凄い」もののこと。例えば、凄い熱いピザをガブっと食べたりすると、味が「ヤバい」。良いDJプレイ

したりすると、そのクラブが「ヤバい」。そしてFunky Kotaは、全体的に「ヤバい

You’re losing me again.

ますます意味がわかりません(笑)

Funky Kota is a new style of rave and house music from Indonesia. Over there they call it Dangdut, but it’s also contracted as Funkot. The beats

are hyper fast, usually around 180 to 200 BPM, like happy hardcore except with more vocal samples. “Are you ready!” “Hey DJ!” That kind of

stuff. Except to Japanese ears, it sounds like “TICCCKKEE!” It doesn’t mean anything but it gets you pumped up.

Funky Kota」は、インドネシアから来た新しいダンスミュージックで、現地では「Dangdut」ってよばれてるんですけど、同じ様に縮めて「Funkot」とも呼ばれ

てるんです。テンポが凄く速くて、BPMが、大体180から200くらい。ボイスサンプルをもっと使いまくるハッピーハードコアって感じで“Are you ready!” “Hey

DJ!”とかそういうのなんだけど、日本人の耳には「ティッケー!」って聞こえて、全然意味はわかんないんだけど、凄くアガるんですよ。

What’s the Funky Kota scene like in Japan?

日本Funky Kotaシーンって、どんな感じ?

Mandokoro Takano, AKA DJ Jet Baron pioneered the craze back in 2009 on a radio talk show with the rapper Utamaru from Rhymester. He layered Funky

Kota bass lines and samples over J-pop, folk tunes and old super hero theme songs. Now he’s remixing our stuff. Very yabai.

高野政所さん(DJ Jet Baron)が、2009年ラッパーライムスター宇多丸さんのラジオから流行らせました。Funky KotaベースラインにJ-POPとかフォーク

ングや昔の特撮番組主題歌サンプリングを重ねたんです。その高野政所さんが、いまうちらの曲をリミックスしてくれてるんですけど、凄く「ヤバい」です

So this is a new direction for the group? Your older songs are conservative as far as idol music go.

これは、グループにとって新しい試みなんじゃない? これまでの君たちの曲って、正統派のアイドルソングって感じだよね?

We were in before AKB48, playing free shows in Akihabara and making a name for ourselves. The current idol culture didn’t exist back in 2006.

AKB48’s rise to fame set the standard for all other acts to follow. They made idols yabai. Now you need to have a hook to stand out from the

crowd.

うちらはAKB48より以前から秋葉原無料ライブをやって名前を売ってきたんです。でもいまみたいなアイドル文化は、2006年より以前には無かった。AKB48

が売れて、それがスタンダードになったんです。彼女たちはアイドルの「ヤバい」を作った。でもいまみんなが求めてるのは、そういうのを抜け出す何かだと思

う。

And you’re carving out a nice niche with Funkot. You’ve played over 600 shows but are still underground. What’s the goal of the unit?

そして君たちは、Funkotでニッチ鉱脈を掘り当てた。これまで600回以上もライブをやって、それでも地下アイドルのままだった君たちにとって、これはゴール

と言って良いのかな?

If AKB are the heroines of the idol world, then we’re the heels. We belong just outside the mainstream. Anything too popular loses its edge.

Being on a prime-time variety show like other Top 40 groups would rob us of our essence. But we’d thrive on a late night comedy program!

AKBヒロインなら、うちらは悪役。メインストリームからは外れてます。あんまり有名になりすぎると、エッヂがなくなっちゃうじゃないですか。他のTop 40の

グループみたいにゴールデンバラエティに出ても、うちらの味は出せない。でも深夜のお笑い番組だったら、うちらヤリますよ。

Those shows like to put their guests in bikinis. Funkot club dancers tend to be dressed very sexymaybe you could play on that angle?

そういう番組って、ゲストビキニを着せたりするよね。Funkotのダンサーも、かなりセクシー衣装を着てるけどーー君たちも、そういうの、着る?

No, unlike some other groups we don’t do the bathing suit thing anymore! We want to keep our act more pure, more genuine.

いや、他のグループとは違って、うちらは水着とか着ませんから! うちらはうちらのやることを、純粋に突き詰めてくだけです。

Have you changed over the years?

ずっとやってきて、変わってきたことってある?

We’re more hyper than ever! If anything, we’ve learned how to be humble. We used to expect to be pampered. I mean, that’s one of the perks of

being an idol, right? But now we aim to emulate the humble shrimp – head down, waist bowed in respect.

何かあるとしたら、謙虚になることですね。最初はうちら、もっとちやほやされると思ってて、それがアイドル特権だと思ってたんだけど、いまはもう、エビ

みたいに謙虚になるのが目標ですからーーエビみたく頭を下げて、腰を折ってお辞儀しまから

What makes Hyper Yoyo hyper?

何がハイパーヨーヨをハイパーにするの?

Non-stop adrenaline! If we’re not having a blast on stage, then how can the audience enjoy themselves?

まらないアドレナリン! うちらがステージで爆発しなかったら、お客さんも盛り上がれないでしょ?

With the advent of live streaming sites such as Nico Nico Live, more people are content to stay at home rather than venture out to events.

ニコ生みたいなサイトの出現で、ライブに来るより、家で満足しちゃう人の方が多くなっちゃったんじゃない?

Funky Kota isn’t something you listen to, it’s something you experience! The sound reverberates through your body. Watching through the

computer screen dulls the impact. The monitor stands between you and the party.

Funky Kotaは、聞くものじゃなくて体験するものです! 音が身体で反響するんですよ。この衝撃は、パソコンモニターで見てたんじゃわからないですからモニター邪魔

Even with that buffer, your new music video is pretty intense!

そんな邪魔があっても、君たちの新しいPVは、かなり激しかったよ!

Oh yeah, that’s a perfect example of what our concerts are like! It was filmed inside Robot Restaurant, the most yabai place in Japan. 10

billion yen to build, all of it going into colored light bulbs and makeup for the robots.

おおぅ。あれって、うちらのギグそのものなんですよ! ロボットレストラン撮影したんです。日本で一番ヤバいスポット。あのロボットや照明を作るのに100億円かけたって話です。

It’s been all over the news since it opened last summer.

それって、去年の夏にオープンしてから、かなり話題になってるよ

Seriously? We hope the video shows people how yabai Japan is. See, the Japanese take on Funkot is different from Indonesia, so the originators

are starting to reverse-import it. Even the way we dance isn’t authentic. It’s half cobbled together from YouTube clips, half improv.

本当に? あのPVを見て、日本いかヤバいところか知ってほしいですね。日本のFunkotは、インドネシアのとは違ってると思うんだけど、最近本家のそっちの方に、逆輸入され始めてるそうなんです。うちらはダンスも本場とは違ってるんだけど、あれって急いでyoutubeクリップから作ったのと改良したのが半々なんです。

It’s as if we’re going full circle, with DJs in Indonesia remixing copies of their original tracks…

それって円になってるみたいだね。インドネシアDJが、彼らの曲のコピーを更にリミックスするという……

Next step, Jakarta! We want to party with the local club kids and experience the scene firsthand. Get the authentic experience.

Imagine, our first Asian tour. How yabai would that be!?

次の目標ジャカルタ! 現地のクラブキッズパーティーして、現地のシーンを直に体験したい。本物を体験したい。想像してくださいよ。うちらの最初アジアツアーですから。相当、ヤバいですよ!?

a.

My impression before i coming shanghai has never changed....in fact, some people is noisy, no manner, and there are garbage on streets. but my image that chinese people is honest and they are good at merchandise is also true actually.

The changed point is ....fact that chinese elite is not so smart. I mean they are good at studying and getting a good score on the paper test but they dont have mind of creation. Deeply thinking, there are nothing good product originated in china...many are made in america or japan. Basement of economic of china is rehash...? and that have not still changed? that culture make chinese elite boring? anyway, i can meet earnest guy easily, but it is difficult to find guy beyond my mind. their opinion tend to be like newspapers, just there is little different from which newspaper they choose as their opinion.

more or less, i have some prejudice. what do u think about it?



3. As you know, China-Japan relationship is not quite good in recent days because of the SENKAKU ISLANDS(DIAOYU ISLANDS) dispute. How do you think about it?

a.

As many japanese, i also think diaoyudao is japanese. also historically...lol

And i wanna present u two mistakes made by both country.

from japanese side..... goverment shouldnt buy that island. buying is too radical and they dont know chinese calture...讲究面子.

after that, chinese goverment cant go back.....for thier mianzi and national interest.

from chinese side... chinese goverment always choose radical way especially in territory problem and always depends on their force... not only with japan but also with vietnam, philipine...



4. Few weeks ago, there are many anti-Janpan protests over China. And I know that Japan doesn't have this kind of protest. As you are a Janpanese, how doyou think bout the protest in China by comparing your country?

The inevitable decline of CDs

http://www.dailytitan.com/2011/04/the-inevitable-decline-of-cds/より転載

Almost 11 years ago, stores like Tower Records and Wherehouse Music were mobbed with over 2.4 million people waiting to purchase N'Sync's No Strings Attached album.

Today, music stores like those are almost non-existent, and those that are still in business do not receive much foot traffic in the CD aisles.

The sales of compact disc albums have seen a significant decline since that record week in 2000. Nielsen Sound Scan reported that over 730 million units sold in 2000. In 2010, album sales hit an all-time low of 326 million units sold, including digitally downloaded albums.

"Nobody wants to go through the trouble of going to a music store, finding and buying a CD, opening the package, etc. Now we just click a button on the Internet and instantly have music," said Keegan Gogerty, 22, a singer/songwriter and radio-TV-film student.

Digitally downloading music has played a major role in the decline of CD sales, but the biggest factor is the illegal digital downloading of music.

Pirating music has been on the rise since Napster launched its peer-to-peer file-sharing software in 1999. Napster was known for allowing users to share and trade their MP3 files with one another over the Internet for free.

Napster was later shut down after multiple lawsuits, but more peer-to-peer outlets surfaced, such as Kazaa, Morpheus and LimeWire.

Peer-to-peer sharing has grown from MP3 sharing to multiple-file sharing and torrent sharing.

"I don't blame people for not wanting to purchase music. If I want to support a band, I will attend their concerts or buy a T-shirt. That is where they receive the most royalties anyway," said Charlie Hatano, an advertising graduate student.

"We live in a generation of simple living, the digital age," Gogerty said.

Online music stores such as iTunes and Napster give consumers the option to purchase music at the click of a button.

However, Ashley Sutton, 24, a psychology major, still buys compact discs.

"Nothing beats getting a new CD, reading the booklet and reading the lyrics," said Sutton. "I agree Internet downloading is more convenient, but I find owning a physical CD collection rewarding, rather than clogging up my computer with music I download."

The music industry has tried to crack down on the peer-to-peer file-sharing software programs, but people are still using different forms of illegally downloading or sharing music.

"I'll admit that I have had friends burn an album for me or copy them into my computer for my iPod," Sutton said. Making copies of CDs, illegally downloading the album and sharing, it is all the same.

In an interview with USAToday.com, the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) CEO said illegal music sharing has been "contained."

"I remember people downloading one song at a time with Napster. More recently I have seen people download 10 albums at the same speed they could download one song in 1999," Hatano said.

How do you know to the Nikon D90

It had been a little situation of one's before one of the many high-end camera makers learned the particular Live life Access manner with a DIGITAL SLR requested a good online video media picture after which you can created a way to help you listing the item. Olympus seemed to be hinting at the capability in Present cards 2006, as soon as E-330 (the very first video camera by means of survive viewing) is released. Nonetheless Nikon was towards the blog post while using the D90 along with Cannon is definitely soon after along with the just-announced Canon EOD 5D Mark II Battery.

Typically the 12. 3-megapixel D90 carries LARGE DEFINITION online video from a conclusion with 1280 back button 720 pixels at 27 frames/second using the understanding and also depth-of-field restrain which usually simply a DIGITAL SLR offer. Naturally, Nikon isn't going to space an expensive precedence about this skill (and not undertake most people, finding the software when alot more of the adjunct you'll take advantage of once in a while, than only a main objective just for obtaining that D90). But, because this can be a 'world first', Photography Analyze is going to tackle the application ahead of moving on that will alternative further important qualities.

Virtually no owner guide book was initially supplied with a analysis camera still (after some hassles) most of us made it possible to down load an important PDF FILE type from Nikon European union ?nternet site. Surprisingly, this manually operated exclusively devotes one-and-a-half of 270 pages of content for you to video clip producing tasks and approximately a couple thirds of the site to help you videos playback. Less a page can be specified up to a show frame proportions in addition to appear possible choices : the 120 websites following on from the primary arguments belonging to the video clip manner.

Picture Abilities

Training video in any DIGITAL CAMERA is really a important loan -- primarily for the Nikon D90 Battery cost. Beforehand, any time you required a fabulous video camera by using compatible contact lenses, which you were taking a look at round $7000 for just a unit which will would not quite possibly track record high-definition, widescreen picture. However the D90 presents way more for just a cheaper package price by providing visitors while using same sorts of manipulate in excess of centering, subjection and additionally depth-of-field like they have having a DIGITAL CAMERA digicam, combined internet site snap by using almost any Nikkor website.

But, the actual D90's online video media model is absolutely not fantastic. As movie can certainly sole often be captured throughout Are located Perspective application, you are jammed aided by the prohibitions this means that (see below). The actual noise is normally taped monaurally and then the video recording formatting is certainly AVI which will, even though it truly is best with a large number of updating functions, uses so much ram (roughly 400MB for minute). Within assessments, some 24-second cut saved for 1280 times 720 LARGE DEFINITION method for 176 kbps appeared to be 40. 7MB dimensions.

Amazingly, this high-end camera works iwth using the premier random access memory playing cards. SOME SORT OF 32GB SDHC should help you track record as much as sixty units for training video, even though a different reduction is definitely which will video plans will be available to personal training minutes for HARLEY-DAVIDSON function and 20 short minutes with typical quality.

Saddest of can be the possibility that any autofocusing procedure :Nikon D90 Charger as well as some other primary adjustments - are not to be implemented if you find yourself photographing online video media. You can actually place emphasis quickly well before taking any preview not to mention make use of the manual place emphasis wedding ring within the contact lens even while photographing. Although if the content steps near as well as from everyone as long as you're taking, blurring might be unavoidable.

Different works that need to be placed well before taking a good movie involve getting exposed compensation, vivid white stability in addition to tact surroundings. For anyone utilizing aperture-priority AE, you can actually transformation a aperture functions even though tracking your movie and as well lens quality in and additionally available - nevertheless it will be hazardous seeing that sticking to center is usually hard.

What kind of batteries belong to the green environmental protection battery?

The green environmental protection battery is to point to in recent years has been put into use or are development, the development of kind of high performance, no pollution batteries. At present already use large nickel metal hydride battery, the lithium ion battery and is expanded use of mercury free alkaline battery manganese zinc and rechargeable batteries and is research and development of lithium or lithium ion plastic pack and fuel cells belong to this category. In addition, it is widely used and use of solar energy for photoelectric convert solar cell (also called photovoltaic power generation), can also be included in this category.

Nickel metal hydride battery (Ni-MH) and nickel cadmium battery (Ni-Cd) have the same working voltage (1.2 V), due to the adoption of rare earth alloy or TiNi alloy anode materials for the activity of hydrogen storage material, replacing the carcinogen cadmium, which not only makes this battery became a kind of green environmental protection battery, and make a battery of energy than increased nearly 40%, to 80-60 Wh/kg and 210-240 Wh/L. The battery is 90 s gradually realize industrialization PANASONIC VW-VBK360 Battery , and the first to use in the cell phone battery. At present although it on their dominance of the gradually be lithium ion battery replaced, but mobile phone applications in Europe and America, and its market share is still at about 50%.

The lithium ion battery (Li-ion) is by can make the lithium ion embedding and take off the carbon embedded as negative, reversible intercalated-li metal oxide as the positive (LiCoO2, LiNiO2 or LiMn2O4) and organic electrolyte constitute, the working voltage of 3.6 V, so a lithium-ion battery is equivalent to three cadmium nickel metal hydride battery or nickel. Thus the batteries than energy is the over 100 Wh/kg and 280 Wh/L, and considerably more than the nickel metal hydride battery than energy. In view of the above advantages, since the 1993-2000 in just a few years, its production and usage with extremely high speed growth.

Alkaline manganese zinc dry (alkaline) compared with ordinary dry cell size has higher capacity PANASONIC CGA-S005E Battery, and have high discharge current ability. In recent years has been used on mercury zinc powder, therefore make the battery become a green battery, and become the mainstream battery products, at present the alkaline xinmeng dry cell is still BP machine use most power supply. At the same time, the world is the battery charged on the sex, an American company has launched a charged battery alkali manganese, product and application of slow growth. Such batteries keep the battery discharge characteristics, but also can be recharged using a dozen times to hundreds of times (deep recharge cycles life of about 25 times).

Lithium plastic battery (LIP) is for lithium metal anode, conductive polymers of electrolyte for new battery, the energy than has reached 170 Wh/kg and 350 Wh/L. The lithium ion battery is will present plastic of organic lithium ion battery electrolyte stored in a polymer membrane, or use conductive polymer as electrolyte, make a battery in no free the electrolyte. Such batteries can use aluminum plastic composite membrane realize hot pressing encapsulation, with light weight, shape can be arbitrary change, safety better characteristics.

Fuel cells (FC) is a kind of use of fuel (such as hydrogen or contain fuel) and antioxidant (such as pure oxygen or the oxygen in air) for power generation device directly, because avoided the carnot cycle limit, this power unit is not only high efficiency (electrochemical reactions conversion efficiency can be as high as 40% or more), and no pollution discharge gas, so is the future of efficient and clean power generation method. Many companies at home and abroad are engaged in development for mobile phones, notebook computers, the PEM fuel cell, once put into application, and its economy benefit greatly.

Seal lead-acid battery is a kind of lead-acid batteries.

If users want to prolong battery the efficient use of the time, in addition to the quality of the charger to have the guarantee, the right skills and charging is essential, because of low quality charger or wrong charging methods would affect battery time and life cycle, the following is about to charge skills:

1. The battery before they leave the factory, manufacturers were activated processing, and the charge, so the battery are more electricity, my friends say battery charging adjustment period in accordance with the time, standby still seriously insufficient, assuming that the battery is really quality goods battery of words, this kind of circumstance should extend the setting and then 3 ~ 5 times fully charge and discharge.

2. If new phone is lithium ion battery, so before 3 ~ 5 times charging commonly known as adjustment period, should be charged more than 14 hours, in order to ensure that the fully activate lithium ion activity. The lithium ion battery no memory effects, but have very strong sui sex, should give full activated PANASONIC CGR-D220 Battery, to guarantee the use of after can reach the right performance.

3. Some automation intelligent quick charger when instructions lights change, said only full of 90%. The charger will automatically change with slow charge will batteries. Best will use after batteries, otherwise, it will shorten use time.

4. Before charging and discharging lithium battery does not need special, but will not discharge damage to the battery. As far as possible when charging at the slow ChongChongDian, reduce the way quick charge; Time don't more than 24 hours. The battery after three to five times fully recharge cycles of internal after chemical will be all "activate" to achieve the best use effect.

5. Please use the original or the reputation of the good brand charger, li-ion battery to lithium battery charger with special, and follow the instructions, otherwise, it will damage to the battery, and even dangerous.

6. Have many users often in charge still leave her cell phone, actually such will be very easy to PANASONIC CGA-S101E/1B Battery damage the service life of the mobile phone, because in charge of the process, the circuit boards of mobile phone can calorific, if this time more exotic phone, may produce instant backflow current, internal parts to mobile phone damage.

7. The battery life depends on the number repeatedly charging and discharging, so should try to avoid more battery electric charge when, this will shorten battery life. Cell phone time more than 7 days, supposed to completely discharge the cell phone battery, enough electricity before use.

8. The cell phone battery have self-discharge, need not when the nimh batteries will press the residual capacity every day, about 1% of the discharge, lithium battery every day to 0.2% ~ 0.3% discharge. In for the battery, try to use the special socket, don't will the home appliance such as the Shared and the TV charger socket.

9. Though the phones in the network coverage area, but in the cell phone charge, cell phones have been unable to accept and call. At this time, can use of the mobile phone is not transfer function, will be transferred to the mobile phone side of fixed telephone in order to prevent calls lost, this kind of method for mobile phone is not in the network coverage of the area or weak signal and temporarily unable to the applicable also.

10. Don't will be exposed to high temperature or cold PANASONIC DMW-BCG10E Battery , as the dog, should not put the phone on the car, and the sun blazed through the; Or get air conditioning room, in air conditioning to be blown continuously place. When charging, the battery is a little heat is normal, but can't let it what the high temperature "suffer". In order to avoid the happening of this kind of circumstance, had better be in charge at room temperature, and don't cover anything on the mobile phone.

11. Nickel cadmium (N iCd) before the battery must ensure that the batteries are no electricity, recharging the battery must ensure that sufficient electricity after.

12. If the cell phone battery placed too long and not use, the best maintenance department to cell phones to the application for a live processing, also can use a constant dc voltage is the voltage adjustment for 5 ~ 6 V, current 500 ~ 600 mA reverse connect battery. Note that a touch namely release, the most repeated three times can, through such treatment after another, with the original adapter to "adaptation" charge.

Types of digital cameras

Digital cameras are made in a wide range of sizes, prices and capabilities. The majority are camera phones, operated as a mobile application through the cellphone menu. Professional photographers and many amateurs use larger, more expensive digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR) for their greater versatility. Between these extremes lie digital compact cameras and bridge digital cameras that "bridge" the gap between amateur and professional cameras. Specialized cameras including multispectral imaging equipment and astrographs continue to serve the scientific, military, medical and other special purposes for which digital photography was invented.

[edit]Compact digital cameras

Subcompact with lens assembly retracted

Compact cameras are designed to be tiny and portable and are particularly suitable for casual and "snapshot" uses. Hence, they are also called point-and-shoot cameras. The smallest, generally less than 20 mm thick, are described as subcompacts or "ultra-compacts" and some are nearly credit card size.[2]

Most, apart from ruggedized or water-resistant models, incorporate a retractable lens assembly allowing a thin camera to have a moderately long focal length and thus fully exploit an image sensor larger than that on a camera phone, and a mechanized lens cap to cover the lens when retracted. The retracted and capped lens is protected from keys, coins and other hard objects, thus making it a thin, pocketable package. Subcompacts commonly have one lug and a short wrist strap which aids extraction from a pocket, while thicker compacts may have two lugs for attaching a neck strap.

Compact cameras are usually designed to be easy to use, sacrificing advanced features and picture quality for compactness and simplicity; images can usually only be stored using lossy compression (JPEG). Most have a built-in flash usually of low power, sufficient for nearby subjects. Live preview is almost always used to frame the photo. Most have limited motion picture capability. Compacts often have macro capability and zoom lenses but the zoom range is usually less than for bridge and DSLR cameras. Generally a contrast-detect autofocus system, using the image data from the live preview feed of the main imager, focuses the lens.

Typically, these cameras incorporate a nearly silent leaf shutter into their lenses.

For lower cost and smaller size, these cameras typically use image sensors with a diagonal of approximately 6 mm, corresponding to a crop factor around 6. This gives them weaker low-light performance, greater depth of field, generally closer focusing ability, and smaller components than cameras using larger sensors.

Starting in 2011, some compact digital cameras can take 3D still photos. These 3D compact stereo cameras can capture 3D panoramic photos for play back on a 3D TV.[3] Some of these are rugged and waterproof, and some have GPS, compass, barometer and altimeter. [4]

[edit]Bridge cameras

Sony DSC-H2

Main article: Bridge camera

Bridge are higher-end digital cameras that physically and ergonomically resemble DSLRs and share with them some advanced features, but share with compacts the use of a fixed lens and a small sensor. Like compacts, most use live preview to frame the image. Their autofocus uses the same contrast-detect mechanism, but many bridge cameras have a manual focus mode, in some cases using a separate focus ring, for greater control. They originally "bridged" the gap between affordable point-and-shoot cameras and the then unaffordable earlier digital SLRs.

Due to the combination of big physical size but a small sensor, many of these cameras have very highly specified lenses with large zoom range and fast aperture, partially compensating for the inability to change lenses. On some, the lens qualifies as superzoom. To compensate for the lesser sensitivity of their small sensors, these cameras almost always include an image stabilization system to enable longer handheld exposures.

These cameras are sometimes marketed as and confused with digital SLR cameras since the appearance is similar. Bridge cameras lack the reflex viewing system of DSLRs, are usually fitted with fixed (non-interchangeable) lenses (although some have a lens thread to attach accessory wide-angle or telephoto converters), and can usually take movies with sound. The scene is composed by viewing either the liquid crystal display or the electronic viewfinder (EVF). Most have a longer shutter lag than a true dSLR, but they are capable of good image quality (with sufficient light) while being more compact and lighter than DSLRs. High-end models of this type have comparable resolutions to low and mid-range DSLRs. Many of these cameras can store images in a Raw image format, or processed and JPEG compressed, or both. The majority have a built-in flash similar to those found in DSLRs.

In bright sun, the quality difference between a good compact camera and a digital SLR is minimal but bridgecams are more portable, cost less and have a similar zoom ability to dSLR. Thus a Bridge camera may better suit outdoor daytime activities, except when seeking professional-quality photos.[5]

In low light conditions and/or at ISO equivalents above 800, most bridge cameras (or megazooms) lack in image quality when compared to even entry level DSLRs. However, they do have one major advantage: their much larger depth of field due to the small sensor as compared to a DSLR, allowing larger apertures with shorter exposure times.

A 3D Photo Mode was introduced in 2011, whereby the camera automatically takes a second image from a slightly different perspective and provides a standard .MPO file for stereo display. [6]

[edit]Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera

Main article: Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera

In late 2008, a new type of camera emerged, combining the larger sensors and interchangeable lenses of DSLRs with the live-preview viewing system of compact cameras, either through an electronic viewfinder or on the rear LCD. These are simpler and more compact than DSLRs due to the removal of the mirror box, and typically emulate the handling and ergonomics of either DSLRs or compacts. The system is used by Micro Four Thirds, borrowing components from the Four Thirds DSLR system.

[edit]Digital single lens reflex cameras

Main article: Digital single-lens reflex camera

Digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) are digital cameras based on film single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs). They take their name from their unique viewing system, in which a mirror reflects light from the lens through a separate optical viewfinder. At the moment of exposure the mirror flips out of the way, making a distinctive "clack" sound and allowing light to fall on the imager.

Since no light reaches the imager during framing, autofocus is accomplished using specialized sensors in the mirror box itself. Most 21st century DSLRs also have a "live view" mode that emulates the live preview system of compact cameras, when selected.

These cameras have much larger sensors than the other types, typically 18 mm to 36 mm on the diagonal (crop factor 2, 1.6, or 1). This gives them superior low-light performance, less depth of field at a given aperture, and a larger size.

They make use of interchangeable lenses; each major DSLR manufacturer also sells a line of lenses specifically intended to be used on their cameras. This allows the user to select a lens designed for the application at hand: wide-angle, telephoto, low-light, etc. So each lens does not require its own shutter, DSLRs use a focal-plane shutter in front of the imager, behind the mirror.

[edit]Digital rangefinders

Main article: Rangefinder camera#Digital rangefinder

A rangefinder is a user-operated optical mechanism to measure subject distance once widely used on film cameras. Most digital cameras measure subject distance automatically using electro-optical techniques, but it is not customary to say that they have a rangefinder.

[edit]Line-scan camera systems

A line-scan camera is a camera device containing a line-scan image sensor chip, and a focusing mechanism. These cameras are almost solely used in industrial settings to capture an image of a constant stream of moving material. Unlike video cameras, line-scan cameras use a single row of pixel sensors, instead of a matrix of them. Data coming from the line-scan camera has a frequency, where the camera scans a line, waits, and repeats. The data coming from the line-scan camera is commonly processed by a computer, to collect the one-dimensional line data and to create a two-dimensional image. The collected two-dimensional image data is then processed by image-processing methods for industrial purposes.

Further information: Rotating line camera

[edit]Integration

Many devices include digital cameras built into or integrated into them. For example, mobile phones often include digital cameras; those that do are known as camera phones. Other small electronic devices (especially those used for communication) such as PDAs, laptops and BlackBerry devices often contain an integral digital camera, and most 21st century camcorders can also make still pictures.

Due to the limited storage capacity and general emphasis on convenience rather than image quality, almost all these integrated or converged devices store images in the lossy but compact JPEG file format.

Mobile phones incorporating digital cameras were introduced in Japan in 2001 by J-Phone. In 2003 camera phones outsold stand-alone digital cameras, and in 2006 they outsold all film-based cameras and digital cameras combined. These camera phones reached a billion devices sold in only five years, and by 2007 more than half of the installed base of all mobile phones were camera phones. Sales of separate cameras peaked in 2008. [7]

Integrated cameras tend to be at the very lowest end of the scale of digital cameras in technical specifications, such as resolution, optical quality, and ability to use accessories. With rapid development, however, the gap between mainstream compact digital cameras and camera phones is closing, and high-end camera phones are competitive with low-end stand-alone digital cameras of the same generation.

[edit]Waterproof

Waterproof digital cameras are digital cameras that can make pictures underwater. Waterproof housings have long been made but they cost almost as the cameras. Many waterproof digital cameras are shockproof and resistant to low temperatures; one of them is Canon PowerShot D10, one of the first underwater digital cameras.

These cameras become very popular during the holiday season, because many people want to save the best moments from their holidays at the seaside. Waterproof watches and mobile phones were produced earlier. Most makers of digital cameras also produce waterproof ones and every year they launch at least one new model, for example Sony, Olympus, Canon, Fuji.

Healthways Mako Shark, an early waterproof camera,[8] was launched in 1958 and cost around 25 dollars. It was a huge camera and pictures were black and white.

MIT develops new fast-charging battery technology ideal for automobiles

February With the world going mobile and billions of new devices requiring electrical storage, battery technology is almost certainly due for a renaissance in the near future and recent developments suggest MIT will play a role in the next significant battery technology. Less than a week ago, we reported on work being done by MIT's Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems (LEES) that could become the first technologically significant and economically viable alternative to conventional batteries in 200 years. Now a second new and highly promising battery technology is emerging from MIT - a new type of lithium battery that could become a cheaper alternative to the batteries that now power hybrid electric cars.

Until now, lithium batteries have not had the rapid charging capability or safety level needed for use in cars. Hybrid cars now run on nickel metal hydride batteries, which power an electric motor and can rapidly recharge while the car is decelerating or standing still.

But lithium nickel manganese oxide, described in a paper to be published in Science on Feb. 17, could revolutionize the hybrid car industry -- a sector that has "enormous growth potential," says Gerbrand Ceder, MIT professor of materials science and engineering, who led the project.

"The writing is on the wall. It's clearly happening," said Ceder, who said that a couple of companies are already interested in licensing the new lithium battery technology.

The new material is more stable (and thus safer) than lithium cobalt oxide batteries, which are used to power small electronic devices like cell phones, laptop computers, rechargeable personal digital assistants (PDAs) and such medical devices as pacemakers.

The small safety risk posed by lithium cobalt oxide is manageable in small devices but makes the material not viable for the larger batteries needed to run hybrid cars, Ceder said. Cobalt is also fairly expensive, he said.

The MIT team's new lithium battery contains manganese and nickel, which are cheaper than cobalt.

Scientists already knew that lithium nickel manganese oxide could store a lot of energy, but the material took too long to charge to be commercially useful. The MIT researchers set out to modify the material's structure to make it capable of charging and discharging more quickly.

Lithium nickel manganese oxide consists of layers of metal (nickel and manganese) separated from lithium layers by oxygen. The major problem with the compound was that the crystalline structure was too "disordered," meaning that the nickel and lithium were drawn to each other, interfering with the flow of lithium ions and slowing down the charging rate.

Lithium ions carry the battery's charge, so to maximize the speed at which the battery can charge and discharge, the researchers designed and synthesized a material with a very ordered crystalline structure, allowing lithium ions to freely flow between the metal layers.

A battery made from the new material can charge or discharge in about 10 minutes -- about 10 times faster than the unmodified lithium nickel manganese oxide. That brings it much closer to the timeframe needed for hybrid car batteries, Ceder said.

Before the material can be used commercially, the manufacturing process needs to be made less expensive, and a few other modifications will likely be necessary, Ceder said.

Other potential applications for the new lithium battery include power tools, electric bikes, and power backup for renewable energy sources.

The lead author on the research paper is Kisuk Kang, a graduate student in Ceder's lab. Ying Shirley Meng, a postdoctoral associate in materials science and engineering at MIT, and Julien Breger and Clare P. Grey of the State University of New York at Stony Brook are also authors on the paper.

The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.
