Beautiful Parents More Likely to Have Daughters.

,

美男美女の両親からは女の子が生まれやすい.
The London School of Economics and Political Scienxe の和訳です。

Very attractive individuals are 26 per cent less likely to have a son, according to research by Dr Satoshi Kanazawa of LSE's Interdisciplinary Institute of Management.
LSEのInterdisciplinary Institute of Managementのカナザワ・サトシ博士の研究によると、とても魅力的な両親の息子の保有率は26%以下である。

Dr Kanazawa's work has been published in the Journal of Theoretical Beauty
カナザワ博士の研究はJournal of Theoretical Beauty(理論生物学誌)に掲載された。

He explains: 'The generalized Trivers-Willard hypothesis (gTWH) (Kanazawa, 2005) proposes that parents who possess any heritable trait which increases the male reproductive success at a greater rate than female reproductive success in a given environment will have a higher-than-expected offspring sex ratio, and parents who possess any heritable trait which increases the female reproductive success at a greater rate than male reproductive success in a given environment will have a lower-than-expected offspring sex ratio.
彼の説明によると、「一般化されたトリバース-ウィラード仮説(gTWH)(カナザワ、2005)は、与えられた環境において女性より男性を産む傾向にある遺伝的特徴を所有する両親は期待されるより大きい子性比を持っていて、与えられた環境において男性より女性を産む傾向にある遺伝的特徴を所有する両親は期待されるより少ない子性比を持っていることを提案している。」

'One heritable trait which increases the reproductive success of daughters much more than that of sons is physical attractiveness. I therefore predict that physically attractive parents have a lower-than-expected offspring sex ratio (more daughters).
「息子より娘を産む傾向にある一つの遺伝的特徴は身体的魅力にある。従って、私は身体的に魅力的な両親が期待されるより低い子性比(より多くの娘)を持つと予測する。」

'Further, if beautiful parents have more daughters and physical attractiveness is heritable, then, over evolutionary history, women should gradually become more attractive than men. The analysis of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) confirm both of these hypotheses. Very attractive individuals are 26 per cent less likely to have a son, and women are significantly more physically attractive than men in the representative American sample.'
「さらに、美しい両親はより多く娘を持ち、そして身体的魅力が継承されたならば、進化の歴史の上に、女性は徐々に男性より魅力的にならなければならない。National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health)の分析は、これら二つの仮説を確認している。とても魅力的な両親の息子の保有率は26%以下であり、女性は代表的アメリカ人サンプルの男性よりかなり身体的に魅力的である。」

My child is a son.
Individuals are not so attractive.
However, I have doubts to this study.

私の子供は息子。両親はたいして魅力的でない。
息子でよかったと言うことか???
この説には、些か疑問ですね~~。というか、面白くない。

Using Gmail Storage as an Online Drive.

, ,

If you are Japanese, please see HERE

Some Web-based mail providers offer a huge storage for an account. Actually, it is more storage than most people really need. We could use it as an online drive for our store file. However, it may go counter the natural usage that we use the storage like this.
I'll show the example of Gmail bellow.
If you are Firefox user, the "Gspace", Firefox extensions, supports the similar feature.
If you wish to use another Web-based mail provider(include Gmail) as an online hard drive, I recommend the "RoamDrive". It allow you to upload/download files. Currently it supports Gmail, Hotmail and MSN.

[NOTE] About a term used by this article
Gmail = Google web-based mail service.
"Gmail Drive" = Gmail Drive Program
"Gmail Drive\" = The created virtual drive.

■ Necessary Requirement
・ Gmail account (you have to create your Gmail account before doing the following steps.)

■ Tools needed

・ "Gmail Drive" http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm
・ The localizing tool of the "Gmail Drive". (Japanize program : http://blog.livedoor.jp/gmail_get/)
You can download these tools before doing the followin steps.

(Step1) Creating a fiter.
Don't worry that your inbox will be cluttered up.
1/ Logon to Gmail.
2/ Click on the "Create a Filter". This link is next to the "Search the Web" button.
3/ In the "Create a Filter" dialog, enter "GMAILFS"(without quotation) into the "subject" field, for the "Gmail Drive" has always it in the subject.
4/ Then press the "Next Step" button.
5/ Put a checkmark in the "Skip the Inbox(Archive it)", and then press the "Create a Filter" button.

(Step2) Installing the "Gmail Drive".
1/ If you don't download the "Gmail Drive" yet, download it from the link above and then extract it.
2/ When it has completed, it create the "gmailfs" folder.
3/ If you wish to localize the "Gmail Drive", do at this time perhaps. For the localizing procedure, see the ReadMe of your localizing program.
4/ Then double-click on the "Setup.exe" in the "gmailfs" folder.
5/ When it has completed, it will open a help file. When done reading, click "File > Exit".
6/ Open Windows Explorer. You should see the "Gmail Drive\"

(Step3) Using the "Gmail Drive\".
1/ The "Gmail Drive\" is the virtual drive. So we can simply copy some files into the "Gmail Drive\". You can also right-click on files and select "Send to > Gmail Drive" on context menu.
2/ When the file has completed uploading, you will be able to see the files stored in the Gmail archive.
3/ If you want to delete a file, you simply click on the file once and then press the [delete] key. You can also right-click on the file and click the "Delete" on the context menu.
4/ You can create a new folder under the "Gmail Drive\" and move a file(which is into another folder under the "Gmail Drive\") into the new folder, the file moved is deleted and it is uploaded at another subject into your "Gmail Archive".
5/ When you logon to Gmail and then click the "All Mails", you will see your uploarded files.

[NOTE] The "Gmail Drive" is the sending/receiving mail program as a Windows Shell Extensions. I think that it has to be restricted by Gmail rule, but I don't confirm it.
Pick up Gmail rule:
1/ You can send and receive messages up to 10 megabytes (MB) total (including attachments). If you attempt to send a message that exceeds this limit, the message won't be sent.
2/ Google Mail does not allow users to receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) that could contain damaging executable code.
3/ Google Mail allows you to send and receive zipped attachments, as long as they don't contain executable (.exe) files. Google Mail rejects all executable files as a security measure to block potential viruses.
4/ For more infomations, see Help of Gmail.

Landslides Wreak Havoc

, , ,

I posted the damage of a debris-avalanche in Japan a few days ago.
A similar phenomenon seems to cause in Scandinavian.

以下は、Aftenpostenの和訳です。

地滑りで大破壊

Seconds after a passenger train passed Storlien, Sweden on the Norwegian border, the ground disappeared behind it.
スウェーデンとノルウェーの国境Storlienを旅客列車が通過した2秒後、列車の背後の地面が消失した。



A gaping hole framed by two traffic guard rails hanging in thin air is all that is left of that section of highway E14. About 30 meters (98.5 feet) of the road vanished in the landslide.
ミステリアスにぶら下がっている二つの交通用ガードレールによって縁取られた大きな穴は、E14ハイウェイの名残の全てである。凡そ30mの道路が地滑りによって消失した。

"It is at least ten meters (33 feet) deep," a witness told Trondheim newspaper Adresseavisen's web site. The train derailed just after passing the landslide.
「少なくとも深さは10mある。」と目撃者はTrondheim新聞のAdresseavisenのWebサイトに告げている。地滑り地点を通過した後直ぐにその列車は脱線した。

No one was injured as the slide did not make contact with the train. The railway line will be out of use for at least several days.
地滑りが列車を直撃しなかったので負傷者はいなかった。復旧には数日間かかるだろう。

According to Swedish railway authorities, about 200 meters of ground under the railroad track was also gone, leaving these suspended in the air.
スウェーデン鉄道当局によれば、レールの下の凡そ200mの地面が消失した。ただ、空気が残っているだけ。

The landslide was likely due to powerful rainfall, which caused similar troubles within Norway's borders.
地滑りは強烈な雨で発生したようである。地滑りはノルウェー国境内で類似のトラブルを発生させている。

The Experimentation

,

Now, I will begin to experiment one.
The experimentation is how to use GMail storage as a online hard drive.
Gmail gives us about 2.8 GB of free storage for our email and attachments.
This storage is too large for a personal user.
Then, the trial of using this storage as a online hard drive starts.
I will report the result of this experimentation a few days later.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

, , ,

We had a rain for the past few weeks.
And we had a rain yesterday, too.
Though it was fine today, it seems to be rain again from tomorrow afternoon.
A lot of Japanese will be fed up with a rain.
There are some regions with a localized torrential rain in Japan.
In these regions, a debris‐avalanche was caused, and a lot of houses was buried by it.
Almost every year, we have a heavy rain in the end of Japanese rainy season, called "TUYU(梅雨)", but we are having a rain since the beginning to observe in this year.
The following images are the damage situations of Japan.




Rain, Rain, Go Away

It is unusual climatic in worldwide this year.
Aftenposten international edition, Norway, said "Residents of northern Norway are fleeing weeks of rain and chill, and calling this summer the "worst ever" because of bad weather."

PraguePost international edition, Czech, said "Unusually high summer temperatures are forcing Czechs to head out to swimming holes in record numbers this year."


良く降りますね。
雨ばっかし。うんざりです。識者は地球温暖化を声高に叫んでいますが・・・
温暖化すれば空気中の水分は多くなるから、雨も多くなる。理屈はわかりますが・・・、それだけが原因なの??っていう疑問も。
アフテンポステンが伝えるところによれば、北ノルウェーはこの夏、雨で寒いようです。
一方、チェコのプラハポストは、異常に暑い夏で皆、水を目指しているようです。

Japanese Bun

, ,

There is a lot of kinds of buns in Japan.
The following image is the strange bun in Japan.

From left to right, a watermelon bun, a peach bun, an apple bun, a bunana bun.
These buns are generally called fruits bun.
The following image is sections of watermelon bun.

A peach bun and an apple bun include each flesh of fruit, and a banana bun include banana creame.
A watermelon bun and a peach bun include each good fragrance.
But I have not eaten these bun.

日本の不思議なパン。
左から、スイカパン、桃パン、りんごパン、バナナパン。
桃パンとりんごパンは果肉が含まれていて、バナナパンはバナナクリームが含まれている。
未だかって食べたことはないが・・・。
普通のパンのほうが絶対に美味しいと思っているから・・・・。

Football

, ,

Today, I watched a football game of Japanese second league, Vissel KOBE(Deep Red) vs Montedio YAMAGATA(Yellow).
Vissel KOBE won by 4 to 2.
The cause that Montedio YAMAGATA was defeated of made late offence, I think.

サッカーJ2の試合、ヴィッセル神戸 対 モンテディオ山形 を観戦してきました。
試合は4対2.結構面白い試合でした。
ただ、山形は上がりが遅い。せっかく2トップにボールが入っても上がりが遅いため相手のディフェンダが戻ってきている。
その点、神戸の上がりは早かった。この辺がJ1経験チームと未経験チームの差だろうか。
