Shop of old friend

Today, I attended an event of professional engineering association. After that, I drank at a shop in Handa city at night.

Name of the shop is “Coffee & Gochisou-Sakaba 36°” that newly opened in this February.

The owner of this shop is my old friend.

While I worked at a company, I was annoyed because I had been transferred to a section whose job was far different from my specialty. However I could continue my work happily because of support of my colleagues.

One of the colleagues at the time quitted her job of the company, and have had her own shop. She is struggling every day to achieve her dream.

Chees! With Ms. Rumi Sakakibara, the owner of the shop

Although I tried to take a photo of Ms. Rumi, she refused to take it. Instead of her photo, I’ll show the photo of the shop.

Huge map of Nagoya city

This is an aerial photograph taken from the above of Nagoya city, not Google – Map.

There is the Nagoya Urban Institute Building in front of Kanayama station.

It’s the map that is printed on the floor tiles of 11^th floor of the building.

And it’s pretty large, scale is about 1/1000.

Walking on this photo, we can feel amusing.

Furthermore, the landscape from windows of this floor is also good, because the aspect of Nagoya city can be seen clearly.

Zounds! It’s failed.

The result of the English Proficiency Test (the Pre 1th Grade) has come.
Zounds! It’s failed.

Although I felt passing of this exam is difficult, I hoped that a little better score could be got.

Next exam will have on Jan. 22th 2017.

If I work in foreign countries more seriously, I feel awkward in the 2nd grade forever.

Let’s revenge next time!

 

U.S. Yahoo

Sometimes I browse U.S. Yahoo.

https://www.yahoo.com/

There are a lot of news about Japan, China and North Korea there.
Korea is also on the news often, but the frequency is not more than foregoing three countries.

Near around Senkaku islands, China invades territorial waters of Japan, and how Japan tackle these problems.

About North Korea, nuclear experiment and launch of missiles are sometimes on the news.

 

Yahoo news of the countries in which English is used as national language, such as England, Canada, India, Singapore, Philippine or Australia, may almost be diverted from U.S. Yahoo news. Thus, these troubles that are happened at the Far East may be browsed all over the world.

Like fire on the other side of the river, they may watch these incidents as bystander.

I have questions such a situation.

Countries of Far East should be more cooperative one another, I feel.

The Japan - Korea Professional Engineers Joint Symposium

The Japan - Korea Professional Engineers Joint Symposium is over successfully. This year, it was held at Nikko, Tochigi - pref. on Oct. 2^nd – 4^th.

The main theme was “Merging and progress traditional technology and state of the art technology”.

This time, I also had a presentation at a session meeting.

I reported that a traditional technology is applied for the current new technology about waste water treatment plant.

I performed not only the presentation by using the powerpoint but also show some microbes for audiences by using my portable microscope.

The performance mainly had be applauded by audiences. However I felt regret because I couldn’t respond appropriately to a question Korea PE said.

At the evening party after the meeting, Mr. Muronaka, the chairman of session meeting, said to me “In future, I would propose the presentation to you again.” So I thought that my presentation was not so bad. I was pretty glad!

Next year, the Japan - Korea Professional Engineers Joint Symposium will be held in Busan city in Korea.

Seminar about AI technology

On Sep. 24^th (Sat.) the seminar hosted by The Institution of Professional Engineers, Chubu Office, Aichi prefecture affiliate has been held. I was a staff of planning and operating team.

The title was “Get there! Correct knowledge and actual situation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. And what is its future?”. There were two instructors. One was Daisuke Bando, the president of Bando professional engineer’s office. The other was Fumito Kondo, IIBA instructor.

 

According to both of instructor’s lectures, the jobs human can do currently may be swapped for AI in future. I was surprised at how quickly the progress of AI technology, however I’m afraid that the jobs I can would be decreased. We have to do more creative jobs that AI cannot implement from now.

 

And on this day, the interesting devices were presented by young professional engineers. By using smart phones the audience have, impressions or comments of seminar was showed on the screen in seminar room in sequence. During the seminar or after that, instructors and audience could watch such messages.

 

It was finished successfully. Thank you for Mr. Kondo, Mr. Bando and the staffs of planning and operating team

In front of Gifu station

This photo was taken around JR Gifu station.

 

This month, I’m working a lot at a construction consultant company.

The ISO renewal job are getting increase.

 

Maybe not only this company‥‥‥

It seems busier for each company that the ISO management systems must be renewed from present version to 2015 version in the next 1 or 2 years.

 

It is cool tonight, autumn has come.
