10 things to learn from Japan
1. THE CALM Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
4. THE GRACE People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!

The formation of the song
Theme Song of Artistes 311 Love Beyond Borders The Asian Artise came together for a charity show to raise fund for the Japan quake victims.
Lyrics to the song:
ame ni mo makezu, kaze ni mo makezu, kesshite makezu, yuki ni mo natsu no atsusa ni mo makenu, kaze ni mo makezu,
ame ni mo makezu, kaze ni mo makezu kesshite makezu, yuki ni mo natsu no atsusa ni mo makenu, kaze ni mo makezu,
hideri no toki wa namida wo nagashi, samusa no natsu wa oro-oro aruki minna ni deku-no-bō to yobare, homerare mo sezu, ku ni mo sarezu,
jōbu na karada wo mochi, yoku wa naku, kesshite ikarazu, itsu mo shizuka ni waratte iru, arayuru koto wo, jibun wo kanjō ni irezu ni,
hideri no toki wa namida wo nagashi, samusa no natsu wa oro-oro aruki, minna ni deku-no-bō to yobare, homerare mo sezu , ku ni mo sarezu,
ame ni mo makezu, kaze ni mo makezu kesshite makezu, yuki ni mo natsu no atsusa ni mo makenu, sō iu mono ni, watashi wa naritai
Translation (Part 1): Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better. Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer. Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire. Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy. Count yourself last in everything. Put others before you. Watch well and listen closely. Hold the learned lessons dear. A thatch-roof house, in a meadow, nestled in a pine grove's shade.
Translation (Part 2): A handful of rice, some miso, and a few vegetables to suffice for the day. If, to the East, a child lies sick: Go forth and nurse him to health. If, to the West, an old lady stands exhausted: Go forth, and relieve her of burden. If, to the South, a man lies dying: Go forth with words of courage to dispel his fear. If, to the North, an argument or fight ensues: Go forth and beg them stop such a waste of effort and of spirit.
Translation (Part 3): In times of drought, shed tears of sympathy. In summers cold, walk in concern and empathy. Stand aloof of the unknowing masses: Better dismissed as useless than flattered as a "Great Man". This is my goal, the person I strive to become.
Translated by David Sulz

A Mirror or a 2-Way Glass?
How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror or a 2-way glass?
Here’s how: I thought it was quite interesting!
And I know in about 30 seconds you’re going to do what I did
and find the nearest mirror.
Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?
A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on.
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually
a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can’t see them)? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by looking at it.
So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!
"No Space, Leave the Place"
So remember, every time you see a mirror,
do the "fingernail test." It doesn’t cost you anything.
REMEMBER. No Space, Leave the Place:
Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc.
Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in-law, mothers, girlfriends and/or friends.
