Southern All Stars frontman Kuwata sidelined by cancer

Before I read this news, I didn't know who is he so after I read it. Now, I just know that he is very famous singer- songwriter of the popular rock band Southern All Stars. His name is Keisuke Kuwata. Now he has early stage esophageal cancer and will undergo surgery as early as next month. At the age of 54, he will cancel a planned of concert tour that was to run from October 28 to December 31 and postpone the release of a new solo album that had been set to go on sale October 20, the company said. In this statement, the company didn't mention whether the operation would affect Kuwata's voice

"I'm really sorry for causing worries to you" Kewata wrote in a message posted on Amuse's Website. but he told that the cancer was detected at an initial stage and early treatment would be fine.

"First I will recover my health and deliver the album in production as early as possible>>> Please don't worry about me (is that impossible ?) and wait for a while," he wrote.

In my point of view, I think that Kuwata will be fine because he detects the cancer early before it become weak. I think the doctor can eradicate the disease easily because it's an early stage of cancer. He will be back soon and all of disease will gone. I hope that he will back with his beautiful voice and his fan club is waiting for you. You are a wonderful singer in Japan.

Japan tests billboards that know your gender, age

I had a chance to read an article about technology in Japan. Last year, The billboard development in japan that could tell male faces from female faces and display ads according to the gender. This billboard can recognize people by name and shout out purchasing suggestions, the Japanese signs employ cameras and face recognition software to determine just the gender and age of passerby. The camera can detect a person's sex and approximate age. even if the person walks by in front of the display, at least if he or she looks at the screen for a second. Right now, This aim of the project is to collect data on what sort of people look at which ads and what times of day and after collect the information, Marketers could use the information to schedule their campaigns strategically.

In my point of view, this is a very interesting news if the project completely, it can help the marketer to determine which type of people who looking at the billboard.It is going to help the watcher to get the information from the ads according to his/her sex and age. It is a new technology that arrives nowadays.

Overheating iPods: Japan Orders Apple To Act

This article related to electronic device. It's about technology. Nowadays technology became a part of everyone life not only education in the university but also entertainment. You could not say that you didn't know Apple well because Apple is the best seller music player called iPod. This news was about iPod Nano music player overheating and catching fire. There have been at least 27 incidents of the device overheating while charging. Six of these started fires that needed to put out by firefighters. Four people have burn themselves touching the devices but Apple has failed to act. The ministry repeated asked Apple Japan to act something likes giving warning or recalling the products but it has failed to do so. This was not the first time that Apple didn't responsible for their product . The setback follows the troublesome launch of the iPhone 4 with some users reporting loss of signal when the phone was held in the left hand.

In my point of view, I think Apple company should take responsible for the product that have a problem caused by hardware problem. Apple should recall the product and changes the new one for the customers. It is a responsibility of the big company and all of this products have a warranty so Apple should take care all of the customers before they tend to use the product that produced by other company which has the same functions and features.

This Article is about transportation in Japan. This news is about Mori Helicopter add more seat to 8 seat. This service run by Mori Building City Air Services Co. which runs a helicopter service between downtown Tokyo and Narita airport. Koichi Ueno, a managing director said that the exiting helicopter that have 4 seat. It will add up to 8 seat. The helicopter services take time from Tokyo to Narita about 30 minutes. Mori has doubled monthly passenger numbers since stating flight in September. A one-way ticket cost 45,000 yens. Some airlines offers free ride to some business class and first class customers.

In my point of view, it is a good reason to add more seat to the helicopter because there are many passenger who want to use this service. Why this service have a lot of people who want to use it because it take a little time to travel from Tokyo to Narita Airport.

Strange texts for learning English

In Japan had a problem with studying English likes Thailand that is why I chose this article. The main problem is that current textbooks treat English.

In this article, Japan has a poor English textbook and poor pronunciation because the alphabet song was sung incorrectly. Moreover, most elementary teachers are not fluent in English. If Japan wants to raise its English comprehension scores, I think it should choose getting books written by native-speaking English teacher who have strong grasp of correct vocabulary, expressions and grammar.

In my point of view, I think both Thailand and Japan should improve academic English in high school. In Thailand (countryside) is hard to access to the source of information that mean the government should support the information by sending a lot of book to undeveloped area. It can help a lot of student to develop their English skills.

Panel calls for smaller class sizes

I have a chance to read an article about education. I chose this article because when I was studying at Saint Gabriel’s college in Thailand. My class consisted of 60 students. It’s too many students in the small room. I would like Thailand to have this legal about limited class size.

In this article, a committee of the educational ministry’s Central Council for Education has planned to reduce the class size at primary and middle school from 45 to 35 and proposed raising the salaries of the teacher. Moreover, the committee did not specify the maximum number of students per class in the proposal but it should be 35 for primary and middle school and 30 for the early grades of primary school. More than 40,000 teachers agree with this proposed.

In my point of view, this proposed is a good idea because too many students in one class are declining academic abilities. So, I thinks it’s a good idea to have this legal in Thailand.
