The cycle of hatred

It feels as if the pent-up energy of modern conflicts has suddenly exploded. The consequences of the conflict between Jews and Muslims have now become apparent. The Islamic nation, which cannot accept a state built by Zionists who were oppressed by the Holocaust and by pagans who suddenly appeared, will never succumb and will never retreat. The ethnic conflicts in which the three major religions are intricately intertwined are not easy to resolve, given the history spanning several thousand years. The seeds of conflict on Earth periodically become acute, inflamed, swollen, and self-destruct, like malignant tumors. Draining the pus will calm it down, but it will never be completely cured and will repeat the same thing over and over again. In other words, unless the primary lesion that caused the onset is removed, fundamental healing cannot be expected. The risk of recurrence, not knowing when it will occur, still lurks. The basis of fundamental and complete treatment is to thoroughly excrete the primary lesion without leaving it behind. So what should we do? The only thing we can do is to abolish religion and destroy the holy places. This may be a harsh word, but I think the quickest way to resolve conflicts that have continued for thousands of years is to "eradicate" them. If we do not stop interpreting things differently based on different concepts, the conflicts will continue. We must now have the courage to break the cycle of hatred.

WWⅢ？？

Bombers and fighters from both countries are flying over Iraq in addition to land to land missiles. Just not a conflict but true war between nations broke out! The chain of hatred is trembling so hard again! The ugly effect would be scattered all over the world, how come?

WWⅢ started already in the world!

Officially no, but actually yes---the young middle east nation who had been neglected and killed in incredible number could endure without relying on Atomic bomb?

Just thinking about it sends chills down on my spine!

11AD steering gear box oil leak

Oil leak observed in steering gear box equipped on air-cooled VW Super Beetle obliged me to replace them by myself. This kind of obligation is not always a matter for troublesome but a good fun for geriatric. It must be trifle and small job for a professional engineer to do that, consulting the standard and ordering the parts---. Complete amateur who is an outsider could do that if the tools and instrument are prepared with the will to try and establish the work?

As the first step, scail the actually, outer and inner diameter of an oil seal, height is not permissible till removed. Standard size table revealed that both of the sized oil seal had 8mm height only. Even 50 years later after production, standard of the part is not changed. Consequently, oil seal parts would be ordered today as usual.

Remembering the past over 30 years ago, some professional engineer said to me that keeping a air-cooled VW might be a good fun to enjoy residual life of a geriatric---it is to the point!

Miserable Middle East

It's a matter for sad and regret to see the destroyed cities in the Middle East that is exactly the same as the historical European cities after the WW2. Destructions repeat because of the chain of hatered, how come. Differences in relisions, words, races, ideology can be the good reason to kill each other? We did the same for thousands of years, do we repeat again? 

All the people in the War storm are giving up to live in peace so friendly?

Continue stupid struggle again until being exhausted based on thousands death? 

Ashiya Symphony Orchestra 100th concert

100th anniversary concert was held last evening at Hyogo Performing Arts Center Hall, KOBELCO Hall. It goes without describing that Ashiya Symphony Orchestra lasting half a century is not an ordinary group but all the member are amateur with professional talent. Employing the conductor, Mr. Takuo Yuasa, their skill is making remarkable progress year by year without doubt. The program must have selected under deeper consideration as the cerebration.  Fanfare to open the 100th concert was performed.

Especially, improvement of the strings were marvelous with good transition, melody, rhythm and harmony were well balanced. All the instrument were played at nearly saturation revel with threatening energy.

The audience in KOBELCO Big Hall must have enjoyed utmost last night.

Next ASO regular concert is going to be held on November, 16th, Sunday!

AI Nikkor 28mm/f3.5 arrived

An old Nikon wide angle lens was obtained the other day, AI Nikkor 28mm/f3.5 model as clogged helicoid junk at only one yen as a void. After arriving at hand from Yahoo seller, careful checking with no desire revealed that no fatal defeat except small mold on the outer side of frontal glass surface and sticked helicoid, no historic used ugly ware. Engraved letters on the focus ring were clean and clear like new. Deep consideration to recover it's performance led me to put it on the electric room heater for a moment, of course removing rubber ring. As a matter for surprising focusing ring started to move so gradually, grease adhesion was released safe. It proved that it could be continue without disassembling. Though I had no information about this lens, actual test shooting showed excellent result in atmospheric resolution. I have been paying attention only on Minolta MD 28mm/f2.0 and 28mm/f3.5, but this Nikon new comer would be a good partner.

Transition while acceleration

All the complicated vacuum control on the distributor equipped in '71 VW Super Beetle were killed and the result was incredibly excellent. Combustion firing timing at idle speed was set at BTDC 5 degree as a matter of fact. BTDC 5 degree is the most favorable idle speed advanced position to attain comfortable accelerating at middle speed.

All the advancing effect were done without vacuum advancer, only by mechanical centrifugal advancing construction.

Once the information that no vacuum advancing device is required, diaphragm construction for advancing control should be eliminated also nipples for the signals on the carburetor are closed.

I just remembered that I got 009 distributor tens year ago! Now have I no reason not to appear stage if it has no diaphragm vacuum advancer. Some information tells that mechanical signal coupling delayed 90 degree, so hi-tension cord connection must be changed.

Anyway, smooth transition while acceleration phase is the first requirement, it' a interesting task for tomorrow. Super Beetle never betray to keep a geriatric enthusiast.
