Read information about the authorMargret Elizabeth Rey (May 16, 1906 – December 21, 1996), born Margarete Elisabeth Waldstein, was (with her husband H. A. Rey), the co-author and illustrator of children's books, best known for their Curious George
Although she was born in Germany, she fled to Brazil early in her life to escape Nazism. While there, she met her future husband Hans (who was a salesman and also from Germany). They married in 1935 and moved to Paris, France that same year.
While in Paris, Hans's animal drawings came to the attention of French publisher, who commissioned him to write a children's book. The result, Rafi and the Nine Monkeys, is little remembered today, but one of its characters, an adorably impish monkey named Curious George, was such a success that the couple considered writing a book just about him. Their work was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II. As Jews, the Reys decided to flee Paris before the Nazis seized the city. Hans built two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell. Among the meager possessions they brought with them was the illustrated manuscript of Curious George.
The Reys' odyssey brought them to the Spanish border, where they bought train tickets to Lisbon. From there they returned to Brazil, where they had met five years earlier, but this time they continued to New York, New York. The books were published by Houghton Mifflin in 1941, though certain changes had to be introduced because of the technology of the time. Hans and Margret originally planned to use watercolors to illustrate the books, but since they were responsible for the color separation, he changed these to the cartoon-like images that continue to feature in each of the books. (A collector's edition with the original watercolors was recently released.)
Curious George was an instant success, and the Reys were commissioned to write more adventures of the mischievous monkey and his friend, the Man in the Yellow Hat. They wrote seven stories in all, with Hans mainly doing the illustrations and Margret working mostly on the stories, though they both admitted to sharing the work and cooperating fully in every stage of development. At first, however, Margret's name was left off the cover, ostensibly because there was a glut of women already writing children's fiction. In later editions, this was corrected, and Margret now receives full credit for her role in developing the stories.
Margret and her husband moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1963, in a house close to Harvard Square. Following her husband's death in 1977, Margret continued writing, and in 1979, became a Professor of Creative Writing at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Starting in 1980, she also began to collaborate with Alan Shalleck on a series of short films featuring Curious George and more than two dozen additional books.
In 1989 Margret Rey established the Curious George Foundation to help creative children and prevent cruelty to animals. In 1996, she made major donations to the Boston Public Library and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She was also a long-time supporter of the Longy School of Music. The Reys spent twenty summers in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, to enable H.A. Rey to better observe the stars for his astronomy writing. They became an integral part of the Waterville community and their legacy is honored by The Margret and H.A. Rey Center and the Curious George Cottage located there.
Dr. Lena Y. de Grummond, a professor in the field of library science (specializing in children's literature) at The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Miss. contacted the Reys in 1966 about the university's new children's literature collection. H.A. and Margret made a donation of a pair of sketches at the time. In 1996, after Margret's death, it was revealed in her will that the entire literary estate of the Reys were to be donated to the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection at Southern Miss.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The man accused of murdering a Blueberry River First Nations woman nearly four years ago is expected to enter a plea at an arraignment hearing in Fort St. John today.
Wokeley, who is also a member of the Blueberry First Nation, is facing additional charges of arson and indecency to human remains in connection with the death of Pamela Napoleon in 2014. Napoleon's body was discovered inside a burned-down cabin near Buick on August 4th of that year, nearly a month after she was last seen with Wokeley on July 8th.
The judge set a date for the arraignment in late February, nearly four months after Wokeley was arrested. The trial was delayed four times due to insufficient disclosure by police of their case against Wokeley to his lawyer, Georges Rivard. At the arraignment, Wokeley is expected to enter a plea for the three charges he faces.
The arraignment is taking place at the Fort St. John Law Courts on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00.

BTW Julie -- you were right about the free Slurpees. It was the 7/11 that was messed up. Either they weren't participating, or we weren't one of the first 1000. At the very least, they should have told us more than "no."Posted by James at July 12, 2003 1:08 PM
Was just thinking: if the world trade center had been bombed on the 11th of July instead of the 11th of september would 7/11 have had to change it's name?

Tough call.
In any case, perhaps if terrorists drank more Slurpees, they'd be less inclined to run planes into buildings. Unless it's one of those Mountain Dew Slurpees... too much caffeine.Posted by: JP at July 14, 2003 10:07 AM
Well, damn!

Patient bites and near bites can cause stress for staff. Now, a survey wants to identify that stress, in part to offer some solutions, and you and your staff can be part of it.
Low Stress Handling™ and Fear Free℠ certified veterinarian, Sally J. Foote, DVM, CABC-IAABC, is conducting a survey, which runs from June 8 to Sept. 8, to understand the impact of patient bites and near bites on staff.
Any veterinarians, technicians, assistants, and shelter care workers who have been bitten or experienced a near bite—that is, a bite that was avoided through quick action—are being sought to complete the survey.
Foote will present the survey results as part of a continuing education program, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," in Tuscola, Illinois on Sept. 11. Future plans include publication of the survey results.
Foote is the executive director of Cattledog Publishing, the legacy of Sophia Yin, DVM, MS, and owner of Okaw Veterinary Clinic in Tuscola, Illinois.

text: I've always felt constrained by relying on the Tesla sound system equalizer when playing music directly from my USB drive. I've occasionally connected my old Sony Walkman MP3 player to my Tesla via hardwired USB instead, but the system then retrieves songs from the Walkman strictly as a memory device, i.e. the tone controls in the player are bypassed. I would really prefer to take advantage of the audio tailoring capability from something like a good headphone amplifier and then pipe that output to the Tesla sound system, in part to compensate for my hearing loss. As an experiment, I bought an Avantree Bluetooth transmitter from Amazon, which accepts analog audio from a 3.5mm stereo cable and connects to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, thinking that I might be able to interface an analog stereo source to the Tesla this way. I was only briefly able to establish Bluetooth pairing with the Tesla screen, but unfortunately couldn't maintain it or reconnect. Has anyone been able to successfully pair the Tesla to any brand of analog-to-Bluetooth transmitter? Alternatively, has anyone tried an all-digital MP3 in-to-USB out solution, with audio tailoring in between (using IoS devices or other hardware)? If this question has already been addressed, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

iTunes Playlists to Xml - version 0.4b released
This application has since been updated. Read about the current version of iTunes Playlists to Xml.
Having just released version 0.3b of iTunes Playlists to Xml, I've got yet another release.
This release includes menus, the ability to select what data you want in the Xml, and a schema for validation.
Unfortunately, I've discovered one bug (that would have existed before) with playlists getting updated in iTunes, between the refresh in this application, and the time it was clicked on. The application ignores the request for the playlist's tracks. My guess (which just came to me) is that it's because I'm using the name and track count to check against the playlist in iTunes.
I did not update the XSLT, but am instead going to leave it as is, as a working point for others (and may write a tutorial on doing so, to serve another purpose).
I got to do some new stuff with the XSD creation, but that should be set, no matter what is selected in the application.
Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out.
Next time I hope to have 'Save' functionality implemented, so that the Xml file can be saved with the click of a button. I'll also be attempting to create or find an icon for the application. After some thought, I'm torn about using an installer; it's two files, so … ?
Download iTunes Playlists to Xml - version 0.4b.
As before, comments/suggestions appreciated. As it is, I believe I'm pretty close to version 1.0 (final).

Adam Vigneron is a U of S student whose interest in science and travel has brought him around the world. This is the first of two installments of his story of laser testing on a classified airforce base — the Dryden Flight Research Centre — with the University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team. His journey begins after arriving in California.
After finding my way to the Comfort Suites in Lancaster, Calif., I awaited a pick-up from my University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team leader.
Boots, our team leader, and the team's NASA contact strode out to meet the rest of the team at the hotel and to escort us across the airforce base lines. Nobody had thought to get me my visitor's ID for the base, however, and the office was now closed. I couldn't go anywhere cool until the next morning and was forced to head back to camp early for supper.
The next day, the team and I woke around 4 a.m. and were at the base by 5 a.m. I had a hunch I would be left outside the gates — because I did not have a visitor's ID — to await the opening of the visitor's office at 7 a.m. I was right.
I found a cool corner inside the only open door, cuddled up with my backpack as a pillow, and dozed off. I woke up a few more times as various employees arrived for work — I believe one of them thought I was homeless — and they were all entertained when they heard my story. Fortunately, I got a badge without hassle.
As we were waiting to be escorted on-base, I struck up a conversation with a young female soldier in what I learned was a Navy uniform.
Her old job was being in charge of the nuclear reactor that powered the aircraft carrier she was stationed on — how cool is that?
Out stepped a massive dog, an even bigger handler, and a replacement guard with a massive M-4 assault rifle slung over her shoulder.
As we headed to our makeshift lab, we saw a few team members out on the dried lake bed that surrounds Edwards. They were doing laser testing. The rest of us were relaxing: some napped, some worked, but most waited.
We spent the rest of the afternoon puttering in the hangar, working on this and that. (Mostly though, we watched NASA-TV, which is so much cooler than real TV; they have closed-circuit coverage of any testing currently being carried out on-base.)
Boots and our other team leaders, the laser-testing boys, returned from their day on the lake-bed. At this point, I had no idea what the lake-bed was like; it looked wide, brown, and very flat from our cosy, air-conditioned hangar. I'd have to wait until the next morning to find out just how inhospitable the lake-bed could be.
After leaving base to get some groceries, we returned and noticed that the guards were changing out.
The car that pulled up was from the K-9 unit. Out stepped a massive dog, an even bigger handler and a replacement guard with a massive M-4 assault rifle slung over her shoulder.
Imagine pulling up to an inland military base on a public road in the most secure country in the world and watching as the guard steps out of her kiosk in full desert fatigues, combat armament and a gun large enough to take down a small bull elephant. Even an innocent person would immediately start confessing.
By Wednesday morning, I found it progressively easier to wake up at 4 a.m. After a quick bowl of cereal, we headed out to Dryden for the day's testing. Destination: lake-bed.
Our NASA security badges were ESCORT class, which meant that we could only enter the gate or move between buildings accompanied by a NASA personnel. We essentially needed a group babysitter all the time. If, as happened this morning, someone forgot their pass at the campsite, we had to find a NASA employee to drive back to the campsite, and then re-enter the secure area. We didn't have access to food and only had occasional access to a bathroom — it was a bit of a hassle.
However, this was the ideal place to hold this competition. Everyone was used to testing dangerous high technology and the risk of anyone "accidentally" wandering onto our testing site or into our beam path was essentially zero. Not only that, but the compound had almost any facility we could need, the staff understood and got excited about our project, and the military kept the media away.
The trip out to the lake-bed was not a short one, so we needed to bring every tool we wanted at our disposal.
We were explicitly prohibited from taking any pictures of the Air Force half of the base — this included taking pictures of anyone, anything or any planes in between us and Edwards. Our little drive down the business end of an Air Force base took us past an entirely awesome tour of fighters — including the brand new F-22 Raptor — in their hangars, bombers on the tarmac, transport planes, military personnel, jet engine test facilities… You name it, we drove right past it. I loved it.
Now, please let me digress to tell you more about this lake. Imagine a 15 mile radius of flat — just, flat. And this was different than Saskatchewan "flat" for a number of reasons. First, the flat circle was surrounded by mountains, which created a really cool bowl. Second, as the heat picked up and the temperature rose to 40 C, the entire horizon vanished in a shimmer. It was insane how quickly you could barely see the base, even no more than five miles away.
Part two of Vigneron's story will appear in next week's issue of the Sheaf; expect lasers!

A few extra notes from East Bladen's 49-37 loss to Salisbury in the 2A state championship:
Hornets focus on stopping Melvin
It's no surprise Courtney Melvin has been leading the Eagles' offense this year with her 24 points and 12 rebounds per game. That made stopping her priority No. 1 for Salisbury.
"We wanted to front her and have somebody in help position," said Hornets coach Andrew Mitchell. "The thing that we were doing that kind of slowed her early was our guards were putting pressure on the ball.
"When she gets the ball in their hands, there's not a lot of people in the state that can stop herm" he added. "We just went straight 2-3 zone and said that we needed to have two or three or four or five people, whatever it took to stop her"
Melvin finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds despite facing double and triple teams.
Eagles struggle to feed post players
East Bladen has scored scads of points this year by passing in the post to Melvin and also Jazmine Kemp. Coach Patty Evers tried to put both down low early, but bad passes and turnovers forced her to pull Kemp out to the perimeter.
"Whenever I first got posting up, I was open, but we couldn't get the ball in," Kemp said. "It's like we were too slow for the stuff. It was like I couldn't play post because if I was playing post they wasn't going to get it in the post. So I had to play guard and CJ had to play post."
Added Evers, "I thought we would do better than we did with Jazmine and CJ down on the blocks. I really honestly thought we would play better than we did."
Eagles' effort lacking after halftime
Without a doubt, East Bladen was done in by a stretch of 13 minutes, 38 seconds without a field goal spanning from the end of the second quarter to the middle of the fourth. That's darn near half the game.
Bubbles Phifer hit a long three at the end of the first half to give the Hornets a 28-20 halftime lead and tons of momentum. The Eagles' attitude was noticeably different coming out of the locker room, and once Salisbury started scoring in the second half several of the players seemed defeated.
"At times we just acted like we didn't want to be there," said Evers. "I brought some girls in off the bench and they just outhustled some of the other players."
Salisbury's balance outdoes Eagles' stars
Kemp and Melvin struggled at times, but for the most part made their regular contributions. Melvin couldn't dominate in the post like she normally does, but she faced double and triple teams and got few good passes in there. They scored 30 of the Eagles' 37 points and had 18 of their 29 rebounds.
Being responsible for that much of the offense is nothing new, but it wasn't enough against a more balanced team. Eight players scored and six had at least four points.
I asked Evers if that lack of balance hurt her team.
"I'm not going to take anything away from my team and the girls I've coached all year long, and they all got us here, but you're absolutely right," she said. "When you get to this level, even in the regionals, you've got two or three guards like Jazmine. We kind of hidden all year long behind Jazmine and CJ.
"It's going to take the other three or four to be able to … know the game well enough that you can do things on your own. You're playing organized basketball, but at the same time it's almost like PE basketball. Instincts, and we don't have that."
Odds and ends
Stats, notes and more:
— With her 12 rebounds, Melvin surpassed 1,000 for her career. She needed nine going into the game.
— East Bladen attempted 30 shots while Salisbury attempted 58.
— East Bladen grabbed only seven offensive rebounds. The Hornets had 22 and 14 second-chance points.
They said it
The best leftover quotes from my interviews:
"It's all about guard play. … We just couldn't handle the guard play. And Jazmine's not a true point guard. I love her, and she does a good job, but she's a 3-4."
— East Bladen coach Patty Evers
"Even the threes that Phifer hit, we knew the plays, we knew where it was going, we talked about it all week in practice, but we did not get out there and cover it."
— Patty Evers
"Whenever I passed it to someone else, was they going to pass it back or was they going to turn the ball over? That's the most pressure I had out there tonight, of whether or not they were going to be able to do something with the ball."
— East Bladen guard Jazmine Kemp

On 2019.02.05, Dr. Genki Terauchi and Dr. Eligio de Raús Maúre visited the Takeuchi lab to discuss about seagrass mapping situation. Dr. Terauchi and Dr. Maure are from the Special Monitoring & Coastal Environmental Assessment Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC), which is hosted by the Northwest Pacific Region Environmental Cooperation Centre (NPEC) in Toyama, Japan. Two doctor candidates, Han and Truong, represented the lab to present about their research. Seagrass mapping status in Japan, China and Vietnam was discussed. It was understood that though various attempts have been done, current seagrass mapping in these three countries could still be largely improved by further apply remote sensing technology. Specifically, there have been various reports of seagrass distribution in this area, yet the exact extent and density is largely unknown. By gathering high-quality ground truth information, standardizing classification method, and publishing the seagrass distribution mapping results organizedly, understanding of seagrass distribution can be greatly enhanced. It would be a crucial enabler for coastal conservation.
We are looking forward to further collaboration for seagrass and blue carbon mapping.

Following with our continued interest in Google Earth Engine through the last year, many lab members were invited to Google Earth Engine Japan Year-End Meetup on 26th December 2018. The attendees included members of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries; NGO representatives from Japan and abroad; University professors; and students of various Japanese Universities (including UTokyo).
The meetup is, in part, an opportunity for Google to showcase its new (2018) developments of its Google Earth Engine product. They made a point of showing off new databases and a page dedicated to finding the database you need for your research, and new integrations with their Deep Learning program TensorFlow through a python interface in their Collaboratory Notebook product with an example of object recognition in a small mapped area. It is also an opportunity for the many other partner members in-attendance to show their innovations, including Governmental land-misuse risk monitoring, shallow-water body eutrophication, and the awareness activities of worldwide Google Earth educational communities through online mediums.
Of note, two of our lab members – Dr. Prakhar Misra and Mrs. Pegah Hashemvand – were asked to give presentations. Dr. Misra's presentation showed a short overview of our course taught using Google Earth Engine to classify land-usage in hand-drawn maps from the previous century, while Mrs. Hashemvand gave a presentation on her recent paper in monitoring the oil palm harvesting industry activities in Malaysia. Both were received with applause, in-depth questions towards the content, and an air of general interest and attention from the other attendees.

On 25rd Dec. most of our lab member joined forces mad make an all-out effort to clean up our laboratory. Thanks to hard working laboratory members, peace come again to our lab which was chaotic. On the next day 26rd Dec. we held the end of year party after short lab seminar. At this time, we welcomed 2 reaserchers from Bangladesh and 2 lab members' families. The main dish was "Buri-shabu". "Buri" is the Japanese name for yellow tail. "shabu" is abbreviation of "shabu shabu", which is Japanese type hot pot. Moreover, we ate Indian style steamed rice which our lab member from India coocked, Sri Lankan cuisine which our lab member from Sri Lanka coocked and Christmas cake our Professor bought. The party finished up with Arai-san's kind words. we enjoyed eating a lot and we were patting each other on the back for great work in 2018.

In December 2018, Project Researcher Prakhar Misra got an opportunity to attend 17th International Symposium on New Technologies for Urban Safety of Mega Cities in Asia (USMCA) at IIIT Hyderabad, India. This symposium is organized every year in collaboration with International Center for Urban Safety Engineering (ICUS) at IIS. Title of the talk by Dr Misra was – "A Novel Technique For Estimating Expansion Of Residential, Commercial And Industrial Regions In Indian Megacities". Some participants were interested in knowing how this can be useful for estimating air pollution. During this trip, there was an opportunity to interact with senior lab senpai, Dr. Krishnan Sundara Rajan who is now Head of Geospatial Lab at IIITH. This trip also presented an opportunity to collect PM2.5 data from the streets of Hyderabad. Overall participation at USMCA acquainted us with new applications of GPR, promotion of management technologies and new directions for geospatial research in disaster management.

October was a busy month for our wtlab. As all the students were busy with 39th ACRS presentation and cultural performance.
As some of our lab. members use Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform in their research, on October our lab. had a meeting with a group from GEE outreach, in which the possible applications of GEE in our researches have been discussed. We also discussed how open access platform can help nations and societies to move faster toward sustainable development and the possible contributions of science body and its collaboration with GEE in this regard.
As the result, to promote RS researchers to expose the potentials of RS in helping sustainable development of societies to publics, our lab agreed to join in promoting video by GEE team and talking about our missions in this regard. Therefore, a group of people again came to our lab. to shoot the video which was a unique experience for the students.

Takeuchi lab went on a trip to Kawaguchiko in Yamanashi Prefecture on September 11-12, 2018. It was a time to be refreshed by the cool weather of the area while gaining valuable and interesting insights about this place in Japan.
We are particularly impressed by how a museum (Sabo Museum) was put up to commemorate the mud flow that happened on September 25, 1966 in what was used to be called Ashiwada Village in Nenba Area (Fig. 1). Of course, the team has enjoyed fun time together during our trips around Lake Kawaguchi, experienced the chilling temperature inside the Ice Cave (Fig. 2), captivated by the melodies at Kawaguchi-ko Music Forest (Fig. 3), and enjoyed to the full our BBQ party (Fig. 4) at our accommodation overlooking the majestic Mount Fuji.
Indeed, there are a lot of interesting places in Japan that are yet to be explored by both the locals and foreigners. Lab trips such as this has given students the opportunity to go to some of these places and be amazed in the natural beauty and rich culture of this country. I hope to explore more of Japan!

Our Laboratory held small seminar. The topic is classification of objects in old Japanese map. A couple of decades ago, the satellite images were not common, so maps were only way to know what there were in those days. In order to make it clear, we had to read map signs and add color to make it easy to read. We used machine learning and tried to make it automatically. About 4 under graduate students and a few lab members attended it. Before making computer learn data, we had to make train data, which computer learn what each signature means. We made poligons which surrounding the same signs a lot and enjoyed it a lot. The training data showed the personality very well. One categorized small area precisely. Other one made rough poligons in a short time... The outcome was so so. We considered the reasons and discussed with Prof. Takeuchi. I believe it was not my fault. We should also duscuss how to improve the quality from now on. Any way we completed our mission.
We also had BBQ party in August 10. All of the lab members, some former members and some undergraduate students who took the course in this lab joined.
We enjoyed eating meat, drinking sake and talking a lot.

On April 5, 2018, Takeuchi lab went to Komaba Park for a picnic. Although no more cherry blossoms could be seen, the trees and grasses welcomed the group with cool air that made it a perfect day for lunch together in the park. Right after the picnic, the group also went to the old Maeda Family's house located within the park itself. This was not part of the plan that day, but it's as if the house is attracting the group to come inside. We were privileged to explore not only the rooms allowed for visitors but also to some rooms which were restricted from ordinary visitors. The house was unique because tatami floors can be seen everywhere in the house, not only inside the rooms. The garden was also fascinating. You can imagine sitting in the veranda and sipping a cup of coffee or tea while enjoying the relaxing feel of the garden in Maeda family's house.
It's interesting to know that in the busyness of research work, we can go outside and in around 10 mins by foot, we can be refreshed in a nearby park and a well-maintained family house and garden.

- The Autumn has come.
Our campus becomes the most beautiful in this season, this colorful season.
I feel autumn every year, when I see this yellow covered campus and get a sniff of ginkgo. When I was freshman, I hated the smell and was depressed to come to the campus in this odor season.
But I adapted to this stink before I knew it, and now without it I cannot even recognize the change of season in Tokyo, the city whose land is almost covered with asphalt and with few trees. Maybe our lab members also feel the same.
It is getting colder day by day.
Some of our lab members seem to feel sick now, so please take good care of yourself. Dress heavily, drink hot, and prepare for severe coldness.
Winter is just around the corner

- Sep 3th to Sep 9th, Seina's visit to Vladivostok, joining student forum. I have visited Vladivostok from 3rd Sep to 9th Sep to join a student symposium. Prime Minister Abe and President Putin had a Japan-Russia Summit Meeting last year (2016 May), and they agreed on improving 8 areas to benefit both countries. One of the 8 agreement, it says, "Fundamentally expansion of people- to people interaction". This student symposium was held for the first time to realize the 8th topic by encouraging university students to interact with each other. 26 students from Japan and Russia have joined the forum and discussed about Japan-Russia relationship and how we can improve our relation in the future. In addition to the discussion, we had cultural activity including visiting summer camp site and historical museum of war etc. We also had a chance to audience Prime Minister Abe and President Putin during the forum, and also had a small chat with well- known Judo player Yasuhiro Yamashita.
This experience was such an insightful event for me that it definitely changed my life to some extent for sure.
Witnessing the scene of politics move and being fitted in for a project which was directly decided by leaders made me to feel more engaged in about the movements of the society, of the world, and I realized I have to be more aware of me being a responsible person who might be able to change the world. I've been always wanted to change the world a better place to live in and make Japan a better country, but it was always a big dream without any realistic feeling of achieving it. But now I am aware that I need to think of it as my realistic dream, otherwise, it will end up just being a dream. I know I cannot do anything big enough to change the world today or tomorrow, but having this perspective of making Japan a better country always in mind will surely help me to head towards the dream in the long run.
I really appreciate all the support of Takeuchi sensei even though it was just before the submission of ACRS, and all the support of core universities' professors and government side support and lab members and family member's support for letting me have this incredible experience.

- Kazuki Inoue's visit to Yangon, Myanmar. I studied in Myanmar for 15 days from August 19th to September 2nd with an overseas study abroad scholarship which UTokyo provides and aims to encourage students to deepen their international understanding and to contribute to nurturing human resources who act on the world stage. I am currently studying the railway condition monitoring using the portable device for Myanma Railways (MR). When conducting the first field survey in February 2017, we measured the acceleration of the car body using a smart phone based accelerometer for the Yangon Circular Railway Line (YCR). This time is second visit to Yangon for me.
During the first half of the week, I stayed in Yangon city, joined a discussion with students at Yangon Technological University (YTU) and conducted a field survey of the YCR Train. In the latter half of the week, we took an express train to Mandalay station approximately 550 km from Yangon station to measure the train acceleration for the intercity railway. Also, fortunately, I got the opportunity to talk with the professor at Mandalay Technological University. I got an explanation from an expert about the difference of traffic situation among cities in Myanmar and the current situation of MR.
YCR timetable in Burmese. I don't understand but MR staff kindly explained me.
The YCR is currently being implemented with technical assistance by the JICA expert team and an improvement plan with ODA loan. Currently operated at a speed of about 20 km / h, the MR improves it to about 40 km / h, and increases the operation interval at commuting rush hour from about 2 per hour to about 5. At that time, more advanced and precise maintenance is required, but at present there are 600 derailment accidents per year on all railway lines operated by MR. Based on these backgrounds, we conduct field surveys as research subjects to conduct efficient railway condition monitoring using simple measuring equipment and satellite images, and conduct analysis.
While staying in Yangon, I stayed at YTU 's guest house. In Yangon, blackouts occurred frequently. There was a power outage of several hours once every two days. In the night darkness, I stayed in the room while relying on the lights of the smart phone. As I was born and raised in Japan, I have never experienced a blackout, so these new experiences broke my conventional sense and trained me. I learned that "I should do while I can."
I am sincerely thankful to YTU members who helped me during my stay and my university and laboratory who gave me valuable opportunities.

- The IIS Forum which has been held annually marked its twenty-fifth year on March 2 – 3, 2017. The forum was held at Convention Hall, Komaba research campus, The University of Tokyo. The theme of this 25th IIS forum was "Earth Observation, Disaster Monitoring and Risk Assessment From Space". Various researchers attended this event with about 18 participants involved in oral presentation session, and 36 participants took part in student poster session. This event gave remote sensing researchers a valuable opportunity to interact with each other directly. In the poster session, each participant was given the opportunity to introduce their research to all participant. Then the presentation was followed by a small discussion in front of each poster. Through the voting system, Fujiwara Takumi and Mario Rodriguez selected as the best student poster award. Takeuchi laboratory as the executor of this forum gladly giving thanks to all participate who made this IIS forum 2017 conducted well. We are waiting for your active participation in next IIS forum.

- Visiting the exhibition of machine vision in Yokohama during 7-9 December 2016.
The exhibition of machine vision was held at Pacifico in Yokohama (Japan's second largest city) during 7-9 December 2016. This event aims to display the current technology of machine vision including cameras, mechanical devices and digital image processing with the various applications for industrial fields. Many industrial staffs, researchers, professors, students and those who are interesting in camera technology were gathered in this exhibition for showing their works and seeing the other works. For the highlights of this exhibition, a very tiny camera can record in video mode with a high resolution of 4K pixels. A sensor can capture an image of very fast moving items. The real-time image processing technology demonstrates the several potentials in many applications such as the simulations of controlling cars in roads and trains in railways without manual handles.

the art of nonprocessing
stares blanking out imagery of obscene scenery
salesmanship of myriad pyramids
of pitch hook sale
the fish hook sails through words and sentences
and penetrates the final veil through the bullshit filter
and when its sharp end scrapes meat,
pull reel.
Who is that screaming?
magic is now crying and begging to be recognized
a pitiful plea
hope no longer exists on your tv

The bowler hat was a motif in the musical composition that was Sabina's life. It returned again and again, each time with a different meaning, and all the meanings flowed through the bowler hat like water through a riverbed. I might call it Heraclitus' ("You can't step twice into the same river") riverbed: the bowler hat was a bed through which each time Sabina saw another river flow, another semantic river: each time the same object would give rise to a new meaning, though all the former meanings would resonate (like an echo, like a parade of echoes) together with the new one. Each new experience would resound, each time enriching the harmony. [...]Kyle and I talked about exactly this issue about a year ago. If you don't know Kyle, does that make you uncomfortable?...
Now, perhaps, we are in a better position to appreciate the abyss separating Sabina and Franz: He listened eagerly to the story of her life and she was equally eager to hear the story of his, but although they had a clear understanding of the logical meaning of the words they exchanged, they failed to hear the semantic susurrus of the river flowing through them.
And so when she put on the bowler hat in his presence, Franz felt uncomfortable, as if someone had spoken to him in a language he did not know. It was neither obscene nor sentimental, merely an incomprehensible gesture. What made him feel uncomfortable was its very lack of meaning.
While people are fairly young and the musical composition of their lives is still in its opening bars, they can go about writing it together and exchange motifs (the way Tomas and Sabina exchanged the motif of the bowler hat), but if they meet when they are older, like Franz and Sabina, their musical compositions are more or less complete, and every motif, every object, every word means something different to each of them.
