Intelligence quality

What do you think about IQ?
There are two different theories that the average of IQ is getting down among people than before, the other hand IQ is getting up as the developing society.

It seems contradicted but making sense in some ways that people are getting extremely different, became bipolarity they say.

I'm not sure whether my ancestor was inferior to me or my descendant would be superior to me. What I can tell is life got much easier than a century before if it were not for wars or disasters.
We can share the ancestors' wisdom and send it to the descendants in future.

IQ getting down?

Smart city

Our town Toyama is now commendable as a smart city among the local town.
Not so large a compact city, citizens are comfortable to go everywhere. For example, I can go to the station within 10 minutes by a car or by a street car. 20 minutes' drive takes me to the nearest beach and 40 minutes' drive to the mountains.
It's really good location and size.
So it's introduced in the "President".
I feel very proud if it.
Good citizenship

My review of the movie

"Dear John"

The movie "Dear John" is pretty sweet love story complexed with bitter, sorrowful and human taste.
Anyway I like to see the happy ending and heart warming story to encourage life.
This is the one I really feel moved after watching and reminds me of the affection when I was in love with someone.
And the more the casts are adorable pretty girl Amanda Michelle Seyfried, who was seen in Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!, Letters to Juliet and so on, and a cool guy Channing Matthew Tatum, who has a brilliant muscle body. I've got to be a fan of them very much.
"See you soon" was their steady word when they are apart for a while but cruel fate made him tell to her"Good bye".
What was happening to their love?
It was very sorry for their broke up but their love needed painful moment and time to grow from puppy love to mature one.
If you want to see it, Japanese title is different. Check it online.

Ristorante Trattoria, and Bar

There are many Italian restaurants in Toyama as well as in Tokyo.
They are called ristorante, trattoria and bar as their size.
I've checked into the wine bar which is a small restaurant with counter and two box seats.
I like to sit on the counter seat to be able to see and talk to the owner well.
I asked what the menu of the day special and good match for sparkling wine.
I ordered Cava and Rose for sea food Carpaccio with salmon, octopus and scallop and Cioppino, which is Italian seafood stew.
Wine bar is very light and easy so very popular among ladies.
There were almost ladies after 5 or Hanakin weekend.

Dean & Deluca

Don't you think it delicious in the picture if you love bread?




It's Italian bread sold at the bakery.
It's been familiar "Delica foods" in Japanese. I didn't notice that meaning exactly but the word Delica in Japanese origins from delicatessen in German.
But this company "Dean & Deluca" is American company LOL;^^
I met the confection bread in Ebis Atre. I love it very much!
I felt like Italian taste, sort of Sozain in Japanese.
The difference of the culture lives in the neighborhood.
When the bullet train starts to run many different tastes will come around soon.

Bad influence

It's been very bad phenomenon that dengue fever is getting increased and spread in Japan.
As long as the news resource, there were found a few people infected dengue fever in the Yoyogi park but now other parks, Meiji Jingu, Shinjuku park and also Yamashita park.
There were found infected mosquitos still alive in the Yoyogi park and it's banned to enter those parks.
I wonder how the infected mosquitos came from the place of origin. It's clear that people infected dengue fever brought them into....but not knowing yet.
We need to learn more about the situation and take a good care if we walk into the park or crowded warm place where the mosquitos are active.

iCloud hacked

When I've heard of the bad news that iCloud was hacked and the the security was broken, I got very nervous about it.
And I really carefully searched on the net and got to the solution for my caution.
Never use the same ID and password for each web service for AAG ( Apple, Amazon, Google )and other social media or shopping site as well as bank accounts.
But it's very tough to use different ID and password it might be totally amount of 20.
So I'm getting to give up connecting social media SNS, which I didn't get involved so much.
I choose and cut which I really need to use and manage them what I can do!
Cloud storage is very useful and easy but very risky if you use it wrongly.
Just use it as you can make use of and never regret if you might lose it!
Don't blame iCloud

A mutter to myself

'Words'
He has his word.
She tells a lie.
Some one talks cheerfully.
They irritate when they speak.
She talks charming but sometimes cool.
He tells calm and gentle.
There are many words but I think words are not real only the tool to communicate each other.
Words can tell lies but they can let people live and kill.

'Which type are you?'

A pretty liar or an honest donkey?
Clever fox or stupid dog?
Genuine tenderness or strong mind?
Popular or unpopular?
Gainer or loser?
Stressful or stress free?
Flexible or stubborn?
Curved or straight ?
Flattered or self-sufficient?

I have no idea to judge people but I have to evaluate myself and responsible for myself.
Soseki Natsume said in his book "Kusamakura"

"If we work hard it might be obsessed too much and if caring for people too much it might be lost...anyway to be or not to be, life is not so easy..."

Totally saying, it's important to make a good balance in a life. Whether being fine, stupid, making progress, mistakes or failure we should know ourselves clearly to live in good nature in the end.
There is no such mistake in a life.....I'm convinced.

I'm sorry this is what I have in my mind but not perfect yet. It's my private thought just a mutter to myself.

It's so cute to bloom this morning.
The morning glory appears in early autumn in my garden.

The most liveable city 2014

Melbourne takes first place for fourth year in a row.
The top 10 list hasn't changed since 2011 and of the 140 cities surveyed, only 20 changed score in the last year.
Though any cities of Japan were not ranked in the top 10, Osaka 13 and Tokyo 19.
I wonder if Osaka and Tokyo were more liveable than Toyama.
The report is based on the data of factors so it doesn't count in emotional point for human nature.

Active at night

It's got cool like really autumn these days. I heard insects in autumn singing at night.
It seems very difficult for cicadas to live in this summer because of bad weather and different temperature each time.
I've heard of Meimuna opalifera( tsukutsukuboushi) more often than large brown cicada(aburazemi) near my house.
It's so abnormal. I guess short and rapid summer heat brought differences.
It also says that this article strange in urban area in Japan.
