Today’s topic: Japan launches “Wife Robots” which has a beautiful face, realistic, and three major functions.

First of all, it’s “custom function” you should know that the appearance of simulation robots itself is designed and produced by imitating the characters in models and animations, and its appearance is already very beauty, however, the so called “radish and vegetables have their own love”, so the COCORO robots research institute in Japan has launched the robots “appearance customized” service, which can be customized whether it is hot or elegant!

Secondly, it is the “practical function” of the simulation robots, which is not a “toy” as everyone understands it, but its practicality is also very strong. Because the internal structure is made by simulation, the robots have mechanical hands and legs, which can work slowly and do some simple housework, such as cleaning, washing dishes, which brings many surprises to the users.

Finally, it is the “companion function” of the robots! The Japanese “wife" robots are not only in beautiful shape, but also made by high-grade silica gel on the outside and equipped with a constant temperature system inside, so it feels realistic to the touch. Not only that, the robots are equipped with the latest AI intelligent system, which can realize barrier-free dialogue. Just like a humanoid computer, it can help users search for answers, answer questions, and even play games together. The most important thing is only to listen to the instructions of users.

Une Île de Rêve

Si je vivrais avec des amis dans une île de rêve, je m'amuserais beaucoup. J'habiterais dans une grande cabane dans les arbres avec mes amis. J'aurais ma propre chambre avec un paysage de la mer. La cabane aurait les pontes pour connecter les chambres différentes pièces. Tous les jours, on se lèverait pour regarder le soleil se lever. On cuisinerait un petit-déjeuner et on mangerait sur le balcon. Après, je surferais tout le matin. Pour déjeuner, je marcherais à la ville où j'achèterais des fruits et de pan. Pendant le après-midi, je lirais ou marcherais sur la plage. Toutes les nuits, mes amis et je aurions un fête à nos cabane avec le dîner et la musique. Beaucoup de personnes viendraient et danseraient. Ça serait très amusant! Et le prochain jour, on pourrait le faire encore.

Due lati della stessa pianeta

Oggi, andiamo ad una festa giapponese a Melbourne. Oggi più che mai mi sento vivere dall’altro lato della pianeta. Quando noi abbiamo il nostro secondo Lockdown, l’Europa stava uscendo del suo e godendo della libertà (relativamente parlando) e l’estate.

Ma adesso è il contrario. L’Europa sta soffrendo e qui a Melbourne possiamo festeggiare (con limiti e codici di QR). Alle volte ho ancora paura del virus, sopratutto adesso perché ci sono giocatori di tennis in quarantena con il virus. Sono venuti per il Australian Open, ma nessuno qui vuole questo. C’era uno scoppio a Sydney e Brisbane e la gente dello stato di Victoria che sono andati a questi luoghi sono proibiti di rientrare in Victoria. Ma lassiamo entrare i giocatori?

Comunque, non vogliamo tornare in Lockdown per mesi. Non ho visto la mia famiglia per più di tre mesi perché non si poteva viaggiare più di 5 chilometri. Quindi vado oggi con apprensione.

C’è una mia amica che suona oggi e voglio appoggiarla dopo mesi senza la possibilità di guadagnare soldi. Nel frattempo, spero che il virus non scoppi dalla quarantena e possiamo vivere con pochi casi fino alla vaccinazione del popolo australiano.

Présentation Orale

Salut! J'ai une épreuve orale lundi prochain où il faudra que je fasse une présentation sur la thèse : " Nous avons l'art pour ne pas périr de la vérité" - Nietzsche. C'est mon premier brouillon donc j'apprécierais tous vos feedbacks!

Nous avons l’art pour ne pas périr de la vérité
Une des caractéristiques la plus exceptionnelle du travail de Friedrich Nietzsche, c’est la nature ornementale et ensorcelante de sa prose. Son passion pour les arts brille à travers ses travaux, et à mon avis, on pourrait tout aussi bien admirer les écrits dans le cadre de l’art, qu’on pourrait être émerveillé par les arguments solides.

Mais avant qu’on commence à discuter la validité de cette thèse, il faut qu’on extraie les définitions des 2 mots-clés de la citation: “L’art” et “La vérité”. Malheureusement pour nous, les philosophes ont essayé de définer ces termes depuis les millénaires et il ne reste que 4 minutes 30… néanmoins, je ferai de mon mieux.

L’Art, selon Kheira Chakor, c’est brouiller la vision des autres, pour les pousser à douter. L’art est l’expression de l’âme et cette expression peut prendre de nombreuses formes, des coups de pinceau sur la toile à la danse délicate des doigts sur les touches du piano. L’art peut être exprimé d’autant des manières qu’il peut être admiré et parce qu’il était lui-même artiste, je crois que Nietzsche aurait voulu que nous ayons un profond respect pour les arts aussi.

Maintenant, il faut qu’on aborde “La vérité”. Le petit Robert nous donne une définition simple avec “Connaissance conforme au réel” pendant que Larousse propose le plus poétique: “Adéquation entre la réalité et l’homme qui la pense”. Bien que les deux définitions soient bonnes en soi, dans le cadre de cette citation-ci, je crois que ces vérités ne sont pas les mêmes vérités dont Nietzsche parlait. Né en 1844 d’un pasteur luthérien, la religion a joué un rôle important dans l’enfance de Nietzsche, et c’était un facteur décisif dans son choix de poursuivre la théologie à l’université pour devenir ministre. Pourtant, il a fait seulement une semestre jusquà ce qu’il a perdu sa foi et s’est déclaré comme athée. C’est ici qu’on peut vraiment comprendre la dichotomie de la vérité que Nietzsche a remarqué au monde, resumé bien dans une lettre qu’il a envoyé à sa soeur, lorsqu’il a écrit:

“Si tu veux chercher à obtenir la paix et le plaisir, alors crois; mais si tu veux être un adepte de la vérité, réfléchis…”

À l’époque, la vaste majorité de la population a cru que la vérité était une tautologie universelle, autrement dit, un dieu omniscient et omnipotent mais Nietzsche n’était pas d’accord … il a cru que Dieu n’existe pas, ou pour reprendre de célèbres paroles de ‘Le Gai savoir’: “Dieu est mort… et c’est nous qui l’avons tué!”. Pour résumer, je crois ce qu’il essayait d’expliquer quand il a dit “Nous avons l’art pour ne pas périr de la vérité”, ce n’est pas que nous avons l’art pour ne pas périr du Dieu, mais que nous devons utiliser les arts, la culture et l’esthétique pour combler la lacune dont l’absence du Dieu crée.

À mon avis, la citation de Nietzsche “Dieu est mort” est souvent mal interprétée. Beaucoup de gens interprètent cette expression comme une exclamation de célébration, mais je ne suis pas d’accord. Lors de ses écritures, bien que Nietzsche assure que les croyances religieuses sont malavisées, il croit aussi que la foi aide les gens à mener de meilleures vies. Nietzsche était un fervent partisan du concept de Selbstüberwindung ou ‘le dépassement de soi’ – un processus par lequel personne peut surmonter des souffrances de la vie et devenir le gen ce qu’il est vraiment – et il estimait que les communautés de la foi peuvent créer des environnements où personnes peuvent cherecher sans cesse à s’améliorer. Il croyait aussi que la foi pourrait développer un sens de commuanité et sens en soi mais le noyau de l’argument de Nietzsche n’était pas qu’il n’y a pas des bénéfices de la religion, mais que l’art nous fournit tous les mêmes bénéfices et plus. Selon Nietzsche, la culture doit remplacer les Écritures et en ayant l’art dans nos vies, nous pouvons nous empêcher de succomber à la crainte psychologique et existentielle liée à un manque de foi.

Quoique la philosophie de Nietzsche ait une réputation d’être assez déprimée et pessimiste, personnellement je trouve un réconfort curieux dans cette-thèse-ci. C’est vrai qu’elle possède un air morbide en surface, oui, mais je crois qu’on creuse un peu la surface, la citation a des pépites de l’espoir en dessous. C’est une possibilité que Dieu n’existe pas donc on ne peut pas définitivement trouver consolation dans la foi, mais Nietzsche nous explique que ce n’est pas la fin du monde, parce qu’on peut trouver le même sens dans l’art, quelque chose qui existe certainement.

Merci beaucoup.

I var en jättebra dag men jag har gjort ingenting och nu är det sant. Antingen gör jag allting nu och jag lägger mig i sången sent, eller jag gör en lite av allting och lägger mig ganska snart. Jag väljer det här andra valet. Jag är jättetrött. Jag försöker lägga mig och vakna varje natt och morgon på samma tid och nu är det nästan dags för att lägga mig.

Jan. 16, 2021 About spam emails.

I watched a Ted speech that was speeched by James Veitch. He talked about spam emails.

I think James Veitch is funny and brave. When I receive spam emails, I just do one thing that is to delete them, I think the most people are doing the same things with me. But he did something different, in a funny way. In his talk, his tones and emotions made that their emails sounded funnier. The things what he did are may not a big thing, but, like he said, he had some fun, and he wasted them time to give other’s behalf.

Mi amigo de Chile

Tengo un amigo de Chile. Él es el novio (pololo según él) de mi mejor amiga, quien es americana. Está en los Estados Unidos para ganar su doctorado en la planificación urbana de la universidad de Portland State. Mi mejor amiga está intentando aprender español también para que pueda hablar con la familia de su pololo y porque ellos necesitarán vivir en Chile por cinco años a cause del typo de beca que el pololo tiene. Ayer, nos tres fueron a un bar (exterior, con mascaras), y intenté hablar español contigo para practicar. No sé si fue las cervezas o algo otro, ¡pero no pude hablar español sin importar cuánto lo intenté! ¡Esta mañana, tengo una nueva determinación de estudiar mi español!

"Intelligent robots" has always been concerned by many science and technology enthusiasts. With the advent of the 5g network era, date transmission speed becomes faster, AI, VR and artificial intelligence technologies are constantly improving, intelligence robots are used in more and more fields.

For example, some common sweeping robots, dishwashing robots, although simple, have brought convenience to people's lives, and some factories, unmanned banks and unmanned hotels have also begun to use intelligent robots instead of manpower.

When it comes to intelligent robots, we have to mention its branch"simulation robots"! Nowadays, many big countries in science and technology have launched their own "masterpieces" of simulation robots, such as Jiajia in China, Miss Mumo in Japan, and Henry in the United States, among which, the Japan "Wife" series simulation robots are undoubtedly the most concerned.

Why are Japanese simulation robots so famous? In fact, the reason is so simple, because Japan, like China, is a country with a serious imbalance between men and women, and single men in their thirties and forties are also very common in Japan, so Japanese scientists have developed a "simulated female robots" to meet the needs of many old single men.

I want to keep a cat

I love cats. They are always around my side, and scratch my feet gently. But my mother disagreed with me that I could keep a cat. she said " keeping a cat needs a lot of patience which you don't have. what's more, you're using my money to keep a cat." well. I think she is right. I will definitely keep a cat once I worked.

MEMORANDUM

QUESTION PRESENTED

Under the New York Dram Shop Act, which requires a plaintiff to establish that a defendant served alcohol to a “visibly intoxicated” person, could the court find that the patron was visibly intoxicated at the time of service when the current evidence suggests that (1) she did not slur her words or lost her balance at the bar, (2) exhibited glassy eyes, tripped over the doorframe, and consumed more alcohol after leaving the bar, and (3) failed the field sobriety test and had a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.182 at least 1 1/2 hours after the time of service?

BRIEF ANSWER
No. The current evidence could not prove that The Devil’s Advocate served alcohol to Eleanor Shellstrop when she was “visibly intoxicated.” To support a finding of visible intoxication, a court will consider all direct and circumstantial evidence. The less circumstantial evidence is in temporal proximity to the service of the bar, the less likely it is to support a finding of visible intoxication. Here, direct proof of intoxication is absent. Circumstantial evidence is insufficient because there is only one piece of circumstantial evidence in temporal proximity to the service of alcohol. Further alcohol consumption and a substantial time gap between the service and the later evidence severs the evidentiary link to support an inference of visible intoxication.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

In the evening of July 26, 2019, Shellstrop spent several hours with her friend at a bar called The Devil’s Advocate, the defendant, and drank four Martinis and two beers. The bartender on shift testified that he continued to serve Shellstrop because she neither slurred her words nor lost her balance. Shellstrop paid her bill at 11:03 p.m. and left shortly after.

Shellstrop returned to her apartment around 11:15 p.m. and drank two beers. Her housemate testified that the only sign of drinking he noticed was “glassy eyes.” Although Shellstrop tripped over the doorframe when she came in, there was “a bump to watch out for,” and the same happened when she first moved in. Shellstrop did not stagger, wobble, or slur her words. They talked for an hour until Shellstrop left around 12:15 a.m. on July 27, 2019.

At 12:30 a.m., the police found that Shellstrop ran a red light and struck the car of Chidi Anagonye. The police officer smelled alcohol on her breath, administered the standardized field sobriety test, and determined that she was intoxicated. Her BAC was 0.182, above the legal limit of 0.08. Anagonye sued The Devil’s Advocate under the Dram Shop Act, which requires him to prove that The Devil’s Advocate served alcohol to Shellstrop when she was “visibly intoxicated.”

DISCUSSION

The current evidence cannot prove that Shellstrop was “visibly intoxicated” when The Devil’s Advocate served her. Under the Dram Shop Act, a party who unlawfully sells alcohol to another person is liable for injuries caused by that person’s intoxication. N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 11-101 (McKinney 1980). Furnishing alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person is unlawful. N.Y. Alco. Bev. Cont. Law § 65(2) (McKinney 2016). The term “visible” does not create a rigid requirement of direct proof: when direct proof is absent, circumstantial evidence can also prove visible intoxication. Romano v. Stanley, 90 N.Y.2d 444, 450 (1997). The court will weigh all the evidence together to determine whether a finding of visible intoxication is warranted. Adamy v. Ziriakus, 92 N.Y.2d 396, 401 (1998).

Direct proof is testimony from a person who observed the allegedly intoxicated person’s demeanor “at the time and place that the alcohol was served.” Id. This may include alcohol on the person’s breath, glassy and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and poor motor coordination. See id. at 450. A large amount of alcohol consumed in a short time is not valid evidence because “tolerance for alcohol is subject to wide individual variation.” Romano, 90 N.Y.2d at 450; Csizmadia v. Town of Webb, 289 A.D.2d 854, 856 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001) (four drinks in an hour).

Circumstantial evidence includes expert and eyewitness testimony, police officers’ accounts, and lab reports. See Romano, 90 N.Y.2d at 450–51. The more circumstantial evidence is in temporal proximity to the time of service, the more likely it is to cumulatively support a finding on visible intoxication. See Adamy, 92 N.Y.2d at 403 (holding that expert testimony, police officers’ accounts from the accident scene, high BAC level, the non-testifying of the bartender on shift, and the short time between the patron’s departure from the bar and the accident provided ample evidence of visible intoxication). On the other hand, a single piece of circumstantial evidence in temporal proximity is generally insufficient to support a finding of visible intoxication. See Adamy, 92 N.Y.2d at 401 (high BAC alone); Romano, 90 N.Y.2d at 441 (expert testimony alone); Meizinger v. Akin, 192 A.D.2d 1011, (App. Div. 3rd Dept. 1993) (expert testimony alone); Senn v. Scudieri, 165 A.D.2d 346, 351–52 (1s Dep’t 1991) (slurred speech alone).

There may be an alternative explanation for signs of intoxication. Poor motor coordination can be warranted by the circumstances and thus unable to support an inference of visible intoxication. For example, in Csizmadia, parking on the slope and prior clumsiness were an alternative explanation other than intoxication for the patron’s loss of motor control. Csizmadia, 289 A.D.2d at 856.

A substantial time gap and intermediate drinking can weaken the inferential ability of circumstantial evidence. When the later evidence is not in temporal proximity to the service and the patron drinks more alcohol in the interim, the court is not likely to find visible intoxication at the time of service even when the patron is very intoxicated at the later time. See, e.g., Terbush v. Buchman, 147 A.D.2d at 828–29 (granting summary judgment for the defendant when the person consumed liquor in another bar and the accident occurred two hours later); Meizinger, 192 A.D.2d 1013–14 (granting summary judgment for the defendant when the person consumed three or four beers in another bar and the accident occurred 2 1/2 hours later); Donato v. McLaughlin, 195 A.D.2d 685, 688 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993); Sorensen v. Denny Nash Inc., 249 A.D.2d 745, 748 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998); cf. Adamy, 92 N.Y.2d at 404 (affirming the jury verdict for the plaintiff when the accident occurred “only a short time after”).

Here, the current evidence is insufficient to support a finding of visible intoxication.

Direct proof is absent because the affidavit of the bartender suggests no sign of intoxication. Shellstrop neither slurred her words nor lost her balance. Four martinis and two beers in a few hours is not a proof of visible intoxication because the effect of alcohol may vary from person to person.

Circumstantial evidence is also insufficient because the only evidence in temporal proximity to the service of alcohol is her glassy eyes, which is 15 minutes after Shellstrop left the bar. One sign alone is not likely to support a finding of visible intoxication.

Although Shellstrop stumbled on her way into her apartment, the court will not find this to be a sign of intoxication because the unusual bump in the doorframe provides an alternative explanation for her stumble. Indeed, Shellstrop tripped over a doorframe so conspicuous that one could not reasonably ignore its presence, but she had displayed the same clumsiness before when she was sober. Similar to Csizmadia, where the person’s motorcycle fell over on a slope, just as it had happened before, the bump could have caused Shellstrop to trip over the doorframe, just as it did when she first moved in.

The time gap and intermediate drinking weaken the inferential ability of later evidence. Although the police report and the lab report of high BAC level can prove that Shellstrop was visibly intoxicated at the time of the accident, the evidence was at least 1 1/2 hours after Shellstrop left The Devil’s Advocate and she drank two beers in the meantime. In all similar cases with a substantial time gap and intermediate drinking, the court rejected a finding of visible intoxication. Since the 1 1/2 hour gap makes the present case factually more similar to Terbush and Meizinger than Adamy, the court is not likely to find the circumstantial evidence sufficient.

CONCLUSION

With the current evidence, the court is not likely to find that the patron was visibly intoxicated. Direct proof is absent and circumstantial evidence is insufficient because one piece of circumstantial evidence in temporal proximity cannot justify an inference of intoxication. The substantial time gap and intermediate drinking weaken the inferential ability of later evidence. Further testimony from Shellstrop herself, her friend at the bar and cross-examination of the bartender may prove otherwise.

My experience about Zazen

Recently, I want to practice Zazen or meditation again because my mind was very chaos these days. The Zazen and meditation practice brings up the memories of the Zazen course I took in Japan. The Zazen course was taught in a Japanese temple. The buildings of temple was magnificent but not exaggeration. It locates in a beautiful mountain surrounding by trees and rivers. When I first arrived the temple, I was stunned by the scene of temple, and the environment brings me a sense of peace. Sitted on a plain mat, we practice the Zazen in a room with a dim light and sound of winds, emptying our mind to find the inner peace. Even though the Zazen practice make me feel slumber sometimes, it was a nice experience of feeling the inner peace in such a beautiful place. Although I can't do the Zazen at the temple now, I will try to practice it at my room, focusing on sensation of body and feeling the peace.

Eine E-Mail für die Freundin.

(Das ist eine Aufgabe aus dem Unterrichtsbuch. Die Freundin ist ausgedacht. Die Veranstaltungen gab es vor drei Monaten wirklich.)

Liebe Lena,
es freut mich sehr, dass du die Zeit gefunden hast, mich zu besuchen. Kommst du mit dem Zug Nr. 268 an? Dann hole ich dir am Freitag Morgen gegen 10 Uhr vom Bahnhof ab.
Hast du mal Lust an diesem Wochenende was gemeinsam zu unternehmen? Ich habe ein bisschen recherchiert, was unsere Stadt zu bieten hat, und hier sind meine Vorschläge: 1) Am Freitagabend in Cinema Park gibt es eine Dokumentation über Martha Cooper, eine renommierte Fotografin aus New York, die durch ihre Bildband über New York Graffiti bekannt wurde. 2) An gleichem Abend gibt es in der Philharmonie ein Konzert "Orgel im Hollywood", wo Maria Blazevic sowie die Soundtracks von Hollywood Films (wie "Harry Potter" oder "Der Herr der Ringe"), als auch klassische Musik spielt. 3) Oder wir können ins Planetarium gehen. Am Freitag gibt es eine Show der Europäischen Weltraumbehörde namens "Eine Reise zu den Milliarden Sonnen". Die würde ich gerne besuchen, ich habe noch nie in meinem Leben im Planetarium gewesen. 4) Am Sonntag gibt es im Russischen Schauspielhaus ein Theaterstück "Der Beweis" von David Auburn. Dafür hat er im Jahre 2001 einen Pulitzer-Preis bekommen. Es geht um eine Tochter eines gestorbenen Mathematikers, um ihre mentale Gesundheit und den mathematischen Satz, den ihrer Vater zu Lebzeiten nicht veröffentlicht hatte. Der Beschreibung nach, hört es sich ziemlich spannend an. 5) Außerdem können wir ins Restaurant "Azyk-Tulek" gehen und baschkirische Spezialitäten kosten — das an jedem beliebigen Tag.
Schreib mir, wenn du etwas davon interessant findest und besuchen willst, damit ich noch rechtzeitig die Karten besorgen oder die Plätze im Restaurant reservieren kann.

January 16

From today, I can’t write a long English diary like during the Christmas holidays. I have semester exams until February 3rd, so I want to allocate my study time to study for the exams. I want to get a good grade because it’s the last exam at my school.

緑色の目があります。私の日本語の先生は中国人だから目が黒いです。澄む目が欲しいと言いました。でも、私は澄む目が太陽に弱いからよくサングラスを掛けると言いました。彼女はサングラスがありません。決してサングラスを掛けます。私はとてもびっくりしました。

Should school put the equal emphasis on subjects like music?

Some people argue that subjects like music, art and drama should share the equal importance with other school subjects. This essay totally agree with this statement because it helps students to develop their potential and to relax.
 
Providing primary students with more subjects like music, art and drama encourages them to fully develop their own potential in their young age. This is to say that classes like music and art service as a stimulus to help students to find out their own talents since gifts for different fields vary from person to person. Therefore, children can figure out what they good at with more exposure to related fields because their ability in this field can be fully developed only if it can be found in their young age. For example, it was continuous practice since his was 11 that make Langlang one of the most renowned pianist in China.
 
Giving the same importance on subjects like music and drama is a good way to relief students from their heavy study. In other words, now that students are under considerable pressure in academia because they are asked to become top students in classrooms by their parents as well as society, they tend to hit their books all days. In this way, their will be burned out, which is detrimental to their body and psychology. For example, a survey from Tianjin university shows that teenagers from schools where more music and drama courses are provided are healthier both in their physical and psychological than those who from schools where provide less.
 
In conclusion, I totally agree with that schools should put more focus on subjects like music and drama because it makes a contribution to develop students potential by motivating them and it also serves as a good method to unwind.
