Book Review: Hanaoka Seishu (1760-1835)
Hanaoka Seishu （華岡青洲）was a doctor who became the first in the world to successfully perform surgery using general anesthesia. His father was also a doctor, and from a young age he grew up seeing people suffering from illness and injuries.
At the age of 23, he went to Kyoto to study medicine. There, he learned both traditional Chinese medicine, known as kampo, which uses herbs to treat illness, and Western medicine, which aims to cure disease through surgery.
He learned that Chinese doctors used anesthesia so that patients would not feel pain during surgery. Wanting to know whether anesthesia truly worked, his mother and his wife volunteered to become test subjects. As a result, his mother passed away, and his wife lost her eyesight.
In 1804, he successfully performed the world’s first surgery under general anesthesia.
It is thanks to people like him that modern medicine exists today. I did not write this journal simply because I want to feel proud that the first person to perform surgery under general anesthesia was a fellow Japanese. Rather, I am deeply impressed by those who aspire to become doctors—people who spend years studying, paying high tuition, and living without any guarantee that they will succeed.
Not only in medicine, but in any field, studying is something that ultimately helps others. With that in mind, I want to continue studying English.

Learing English
I'm so tired today that sleepiness crept through me now, two hours earlier than my daily sleeping time. I spent a lot of time reading literatures and documents. And after sending this, I'll take a break.

1. hold up
A mistake is holding up experiment.
She always hold up her daughter as models of good behavior.
2. wield

5. sue

1. A: The committee thinks that you have been guilty of disloyalty.
B: I don't know why the committee should think that.
Why can't I use would there!!!!!!!

L’endurance
L’une des choses que je trouve le plus fascinant à propos les humains est notre endurance. Les humains ont la meilleure capacité d’endurance de tous les animaux. C’est grâce à quelques adaptations : les glandes sudoripares et le manque de fourrure pour la thermorégulation, une structure écoénergétique (le bipédisme et les tendons longs et élastiques) et une proportion élevée des fibres musculaires à contraction lente. En outre, les muscles de nos jambes sont vraiment puissants. De ces faits, les chasseurs-cueilleurs ont été utilisé la technique de la chasse à l'épuisement. En cette technique, les chasseurs chassent leurs proies jusqu'à qu’elles soient complètement épuisées. La plupart des animaux proies utilisent le halètement pour la thermorégulation, alors ils doivent s’arrêter pour se rafraîchir. Puis, les chasseurs agissent. De nos jours, évidemment, cette technique n’est pas vraiment populaire : je chasse mes aliments principalement dans l'épicerie. Mais beaucoup de gens aiment les marathons et les ultramarathons, qu’ils peuvent faire grâce à ces adaptations. Il y a des courses qui font plus de 100 km ! Une course Ironman est composée d’une nage de 3.8 km, une balade à vélo de 180 km et une course de 42 km ! C’est à moitié impressionnant, à moitié fou. Les animaux ayant la deuxième meilleure capacité d’endurance sont les chiens. Je suppose que c’est la raison pour laquelle ils sont les meilleurs compagnons de course. Avant, je courais beaucoup. Je voudrais recommencer, et peut-être même courir une course. Mais je ne pense pas que je courrai un ultramarathon. J'admire la capacité humaine d’endurance seulement en théorie.

Week-end de Pâques
C'était le week-end de Pâques ici au Canada. J'imagine que les dates sont les mêmes partout dans le monde ou l'on pratique le christianisme.
Mais, je ne sais pas du tout si c'est devenu aussi commercialisé qu'en Amérique du Nord.
Tout comme pour Noël, l'accent n'est plus mis sur la dimension religieuse, mais plutôt sur l'occasion de se fair plaisir.
Pâques est une fête particulièrement étrange, car le passage entre la mort et la résurrection du Christ et les lapins qui cachent des œufs en chocolat est un grand saut.
Malgre tout, j'apprécie toujours ces moments précieux passés en famille.

The (un)known profession of forestry
Dear readers,
a few days ago I listened to the news about forestry. Since I hadn't heard so much about it before, I did some research and found an article about foresters in Saxony, Germany.
Four years ago, Sachsenforst, the governmental organisation being responsible for the forests in Saxony, used to save money by reducing costs for apprenticeships. If it hadn't come to such surprisingly destructive storms in spring 2018, the spending would still have been reduced. Massive damages in the forests were caused by those storms. Furthermore, there are constant damages by bugs an droughts. Considering also the fact that many foresters are getting older and are going to retire soon, the demand of young foresters was in fact huge. Consequently, Sachsenforst canceled his reducing-costs- program and invested in training places instead. So it comes that a variety of students have been interested in a career as forester. As a consequence, in 2020 there were 40% more trainees than three years before.
During their trainings, they are not only cutting down trees. In order to react appropriately to climate change, they are learning about environment protection as well as methods for planting, wood working and forest conversion. As part of their apprentice, the trainees are supposed to work on a project themselves to protect the environment.
While 64 people chose to do the apprentice in 2021, even more began their studies in forestry at University in Dresden.
In summary one can say that the interest in the forest has increased in the last few years in Germany; either apprenticeship or going to University has become more popular. This is a hopeful sign for Saxony and its field of forestry.

Procrastinating because of excuses.
I'd been stopped for a long time of not writing anything on LangCorrect.
Cause I can't think of any. My head is always empty, I'm energiseness (no energy), blah blah...
So after spending a moment to sit and ... doing nothing, I thought of some like this:
1. Always having ideas on digital note as soon as possible whenever I have some in mind, so later I could use them as references. (references or reference here)
2. Write everyday. Even when I feel like not to write, I'll still write something down, clueless or meaningless etc. just one word, then post.
I was thinking of sending money to people whenever they find that I lost my streak here, but I ain't do that, I'm broke.
That's it. Start doing so (I don't even know what that means).

Breakfast in the First Morning in Prague
I was able to safely purchase tickets to Moravia, and spent the time before departure at a café inside the station. It was a well-known café, even featured in guidebooks, and visiting it was something my eldest daughter had wanted.
I ordered coffee, but recommended chocolate drinks to my daughters.
Inside the café, I noticed a group of young Japanese women, and there were also many Koreans in the area nearby.

Rudern
Gestern war ich zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben am Rudern. Ich habe schon lange mit der Idee geliebäugelt, das Rudergerät in meinem Gym auszuprobieren. Gestern kam ich endlich dazu und ich war ehrlich gesagt etwas enttäuscht. Es war mir zu leicht! Beim Schwimmen oder Radfahren, zum Beispiel, wird man ziemlich schnell erschöpft, falls man sich auf seinen Maximum abmüht. Dennoch ist es beim Rudern anders und es geht in dieser Aktivität scheinbar eher darum, die Ausdauer durch lange Trainingszeit zu stärken. Das ist nicht so meins; ich bevorzuge es, meine Kardio-Workouts intensiver und daher kürzer zu machen. Man könnte ja den Gerätwiderstand erhöhen, aber das Internet rät mit einer Stimme davon ab. Tja, mit Rudern hat es nicht geklappt.

A Brief Review to Flipped
Films have been playing an important role in people's life nowadays, providing emotional support or revealing societal problems. I watched an old film called Flipped several weeks ago.
Generally speaking, it is an extrordinary film to enjoy. First of all, actors' and actresses's performances are excellent. I could feel their emotions through their words, actions and facial expressions, such as lingering frustration, simmering angry and explosive ecstacy. It seemed that they were presenting their daily lives to audiences instead of acting merely. I even cried at the end of this film, where Bryce and julianna planted a tiny sycamore in the garden together. Secondly, this film reveals a vital virtue to us, which is being kind and respectful to others and never looking down on others. In this film, Bryce's father has been looking down uopn his neighbours since he moved to the new community, because he foster an egregious and unfair impression which is based on the shabby outer appearance of Julianna's home. It not only tells a fanscinating story, but also promote behavioural righteous to people.
When it comes to its drawback, in my opinion, it is that this film neglected part of details from the same-title novel which is written by Wendelin Van Draanen. People will be a bit disappointed if they watch this film after reading that novel at first. Please ingore this drawback if you are going to jump into this film directly.

Группу Битлз я совсем не люблю
У меня различные непопулярные мнения но избегая слишком полемические темы, я просто хочу сказать, что Битлз мне не нравится.
Я осмелился сказать это при уроке английского языка в лицее и преподавательница посмотрела на меня, как будто я благохульствовал: « Чёёё Господин Слон, Битлз тебе не нравится? Как это возможно, не любить Битлза?». Ну... это возможно! Может быть это самая известная, легендарная группа в мире, но ёе музыка просто переоцененная, по моему мнению. «The Fab Four» — музыкальные предки всех бездушных настоящих групп попа-рока, такие как One Direction или Imagine Dragons.... Роллинг Стонз мне больше нравится. Эта группа — мать всего металла и гард-рока, которые намного интереснее с музыкальной точки зрения.
А самая известная русская группа рока, Кино? Кино я очень люблю и регулярно слушаю. Я обожаю стиля Виктора Цоя, и в мелодиях и в текстах. На самом деле я учил многие русские слова поискав переводы этих текстов. Спасибо Кину!

The flight was canceled
I got up earlier than usual to go to the airport and my mom told me that our flight was canceled this morning. And I heard that we will transport two times till arrive at Netherlands's airport. That sounded so tough. After I heard it, my dad also told me it will take us 10 hours at least.
This trip will be the hardest trip that we had been ever.

¿Sólo información?
Un periodista se está escondiendo en el matorral. Él está mirando a un animador famoso. Descubrió alguna información interesante sobre el animador. Es algo inofensivo, pero es un secreto que no sería bueno para revelarlo. Como un periodista, hay que manejar información con responsabilidad, pero este periodista no le importa la privacidad. Para él, la exclusiva es toda.

Fasting and Praying
It's raining heavily today and the sky is very dark.
Thank God for giving us a new day.
Oh God, please bestow upon me peace and joy, so that I may be free from the disturbances of Satan.
Let me stay away from the temptations of Satan.
I'm fasting and praying today.
Oh God, I wish my stomach would calm down.
God, I need you more than bread.

Spring
As spring arrives the Earth slowly wakes up.
The cold of winter fades away and the air becomes warm.
Cedar trees begin to grow new leaves.
Many kinds of flowers bloom at the same time.
Due to heavy rain, rivers come alive again.
I like to walk around the river, taking a deep breath.
Spring is a season of hope, people are full of hope.
Farmers begin to plant seeds in the soil, looking forward to the harvest in autumn.
Spring does not last long, but it leaves a deep impression, it shows the power of life.
In this season, everything is growing, everything is moving forward.
Spring is a fresh beginning full of hope.

Мои непопулярные мнения
1. Мне очень не нравятся собаки. Правда я боюсь собак, потому что в детстве, одна гналась за меня. Думаю что, люди у которых есть собаки хотят что бы у всех нравятся свои собаки. Когда хожу к кому-то с собакой, обычно ему жаль потому что я не хочу играть с него собакой.
2. Где я живу, часто идёт дождь. Это — многим людям не нравится. Но я занимаюсь всеми хобби дома или в каком здание, поэтому мне всё равно.
3. Я люблю звонки. Пять лет назад мне не нравились, но при пандемии я начиналась звонить моим друзьям. Можно говорить с кем-то пока делать домашние дел или водить. Обычно я позвоню когда я свободная, но у меня есть подруга которая живёт очень далеко от меня, а из-за пояса, нам надо решить время чтобы позвонить.

¿Cuál me gusta más: el ocaso o el amanecer?
Por desgracia, no me queda mucho tiempo para escribir esta noche debido a que tuve que trabajar un poco más tarde de lo normal. Diría que a mí me gusta más el ocaso tanto por su belleza oscura como por lo que viene después: la noche. En la puesta del sol, el mundo empieza a quedar en silencio y las lucecitas de los balcones, los postes, las farolas y otras fuentes llenan la oscuridad como un lecho de estrellas sembrado en la profunda vastedad del espacio exterior. La noche es el momento perfecto para escuchar música, estudiar o reflexionar. Demos algunos pasos atrás: A la puesta del sol, el cielo mismo parece estar en llamas, una vista que jamás dejará de encantarme.

Forschung präsentieren trotz Krankheit
Eintrag vom 06.04.2026
Trotz meiner Krankheit arbeite ich als Lehrerin an einer Schule in der Nähe des Hauses meiner Eltern. Ich bin nicht entspannt, aber ich muss etwas Geld verdienen. Eben habe ich meinen Computer vergessen. Warum?
Jedoch bin ich jetzt glücklicher, weil ich am Freitag meine Forschung über Autismus, Geschlechtsidentität und Freundschaften im Erwachsenenalter präsentieren werde. Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich über meine eigene Forschung erzählen kann. Zuvor habe ich Forschung meiner Professor:innen an der Cornell-Universität und auf der Grace-Hopper-Konferenz vorgestellt. Leider habe ich das Forschungsposter noch nicht fertiggestellt, aber ich werde es heute oder am Mittwoch erledigen. Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob alles klappt.
Bis bald und Tschüss!
