#あの保存車両を撮る No.23

辻堂海浜公園 小田急2600形クハ2658

すごかった，推しの話

　特急電車より通勤電車が好き．通勤電車しか来ない路線に住んでいると，憧れより馴染み深さに魅力を感じていた．近くを走る小田急ではRSEやEXEといった新たな時代を予感させるロマンスカーより，旧来の田文字型の二段窓に豚鼻ライトを付けた小田急顔と言われる5000形や2600形が昔から好きだった． 　小田急顔は既に引退していて，身近なところだと辻堂に保存されている2600形だけだ．辻堂海浜公園の交通公園に保存されていて，子どもたちの遊び場になっている．車体の整備が行われたのかクリーム色に青い帯が綺麗になっている．ただ片側だけやって終わったのか，反対側の側面は今も大きな錆びがあり，過酷な環境を物語る． 　それでもあの豚鼻ライトの顔の車両が今も残る．子どもたちにとってこの公園でしか見られない車両．でもかつてはこの車両が凄かったんだぞ，そんな自慢をつい語ってしまいそうになる．そんな話が出てくるのって,もしかしてどんどんおじさんになっているからなのか.

Is the country name Singapore a Chinese word?

‘Singapore’ isn’t a Chinese word, it's an anglicised version of the name ‘Singa pura’ meaning ‘lion city’ which is derived from the Sanskrit language. And before we were even called ‘Singapura’, we were called ‘Temasek’ which is possibly derived from the same root as the word ‘tasek’, which means “lake” in Malay. Tasek implies a reference to a piece of land surrounded by water. The name also appears in sources related to the Zheng He voyages of the early 15th century.

Also, Singapore’s original Chinese name wasn’t even called ‘Xinjiapo 新加坡’. It was instead called ‘Nanyang 南洋’ which in turn is a sinocentric Chinese term for the warmer and fertile geographical region along the Southern coastal regions of China and beyond, otherwise known as the 'South Sea' or Southeast Asia.

Lastly, we were called ‘Syonan-to 昭南島’ during Japanese occupation which meant "Light of the South Island".

A lone tomb, a memory of Syonan Shipyard, and their links to Keppel House

Much has been made about the “mysterious” solitary Japanese tomb sitting on the southern slopes of Mount Faber. The tomb, which could be thought of as a memorial to a painful time in Singapore’s history, contains the remains of a member of staff of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ (MHI) Kobe shipyard, a naval architect by the name of Komoto Ekasa (or Omoto Egasa). Komoto was among an group of 94 MHI…

千島学説

こんにちは 朝晩急に寒くなってきましたね？！とはいえ本来11月ってもっと寒かったかも？！今年はつい最近まで暖かったのであっという間に冬になる感じでしょうか？

地球自体が変化していっているのがわかりますね。 前回予告していました、医学の常識を覆す【千島学説】についてお話していこうと思います。

千島喜久男博士（１８９９−１９７８）が唱えた理論で、現代の医学とは全く違った考え方となっていますが、わたしがすごく納得がいく内容となっています！ ポイント的に説明すると

①腸造血説・・・赤血球は腸粘膜の純毛からつくられている。

食べたものが血や肉になっているということですね！

②赤血球分化説・・・健康体では、赤血球が白血球となり、それが體の全ての細胞、生殖細胞になる。赤血球が病的な場合、がん細部をは��めとするすべての腫瘍の細胞となる。

③バクテリアやウィルスの自然発生説・・・細菌やウィルスなどの病原微生物の感染によって罹るとされる伝染病は、細胞や組織が病的になったとき（腐敗に傾いた時）細菌やウィルスが自然発生して起きているものであって感染しているわけではない。

④自然や生命は波動（リズム・周期性）で螺旋的に動き変化している・・・西洋での変化は一定の方向のみで逆戻りすることがないとされているが、これは間違いの元である。

現代医学では、「骨髄造血説」ですから真っ向から異を唱えるものとなっています。

さらに、感染という考え方はルイ・パスツール（１８３２−１８９５）以来、医学のメインストリームとなっていますが、バクテリア・ウィルス自然発生となると現代の医学の常識を覆すこととなります。因みに、パスツールは人生の最期にご自身の理論を撤回しています。

病気の「症状」が発生する原因の全てはヒトの身体が自然界に無いものを取り入れた時に身体から毒を「排毒」する時に起こるものです。 毒の種類によって症状は異なり、西洋医学ではその症状によって適当に病名を名付けて利権にしています。

前置きが長くなってしまいました（汗）

では、実際に體の中でなにが起こっているのか、わたしたちと共生微生物として、ミトコンドリア、ソマチッドについて詳しく次回説明していきまーす！

Swee Keat - It was very fun, it was a experience that I cannot express. I knew so many places I did not know. The walk to the peranakan museum was very exciting. I knew so many traditional food they make like the kueh bangkit was a food we eat during Chinese New Year. We learnt to not just eat it because it is very nice but to know the origin and hardwork of the people that make it. Another is the National Museum of Singapore, where we learnt the darkest day of Singapore, syonan-to. And how lee kuan yew changed Singapore.

Raffles' rich history.

In 1819, a small port city on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula was founded. This city, known as Singapore, has grown and transformed over the past 200 years and is now one of the most prosperous cities in Southeast Asia. At the heart of this transformation was Stamford Raffles, an ambitious British administrator who set out to develop this small port into a bustling trading hub.

When Raffles first arrived in Singapore in 1819, he saw potential where no one else did. He envisioned transforming this sleepy fishing village into a major trading center that would be open to all traders regardless of race or religion. To accomplish his vision, Raffles proposed several radical measures, such as abolishing slavery and giving freedom of trade to all merchants who chose to do business in Singapore. He also proposed setting up strong government institutions that could help maintain law and order in the city.   The impact of Raffles’ vision. Raffle’s vision for Singapore paid off almost immediately. Thanks to his measures, merchants from all over Asia began flocking to Singapore looking for opportunities to do business in this new port city. With increased trade came increased wealth and prosperity for many people living in Singapore. The influx of new money also allowed Raffles to invest heavily in infrastructure development such as roads, ports, and public buildings which further improved the economy and made life easier for everyone living in Singapore.

hiding here from twitter cause uh

i think its hella telling when the most detailed and heartfelt condolences written on twitter in regards to shinzo abe's death is 99% made up of extreme right leaning profiles... also god the number of people who think he's done nothing wrong and theres no history revisionism going on, when i just highlighted how even now there are extremists calling my island syonan-to, then having 1 Japanese getting shocked that we're being called that, and then proceeded to downplay my sympathy with fellow SEA countries highlighting the same concern is really... something

i mean what is that if not history revisionism... personally i dont need an apology bc the people who did that crap is in the past, but i do expect acknowledgement all that crap happened at the very least

also on the flip side theres a lot of memes about it and it's crossed my personal tolerance so

a break sounds good
