There are many liberals who argue that the pope’s compassion for the poor and his environmental credentials are outweighed by his unbending support for traditional Catholic teaching on abortion and birth control.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016-10-3 Yoshinori Ohsumi

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award

the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

to

Yoshinori Ohsumi

for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy.

Who is he?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016-10-3 Yoshinori Ohsumi

Yoshinori Ohsumi was born 1945 in Fukuoka, Japan. He received a Ph.D. from University of Tokyo in 1974. After spending three years at Rockefeller University, New York, USA, he returned to the University of Tokyo where he established his research group in 1988. He is since 2009 a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Do you know Autophagy? Had you ever heard of it before?

 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016-10-3 Yoshinori Ohsumi

Wikipedia says Autophagy (or autophagocytosis) (from the Greek auto-, “self” and phagein, “to eat”), is the natural, destructive mechanism that disassembles, through a regulated process, unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components.

What does Yoshinori Ohsumi do?

Yoshinori Ohsumi used baker’s yeast to identify genes essential for autophagy. He then went on to elucidate the underlying mechanisms for autophagy in yeast and showed that similar sophisticated machinery is used in our cells.

Meaning of this study

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016-10-3 Yoshinori Ohsumi

His discoveries opened the path to understanding the fundamental importance of autophagy in many physiological processes, such as in the adaptation to starvation or response to infection.

Cells also use autophagy to eliminate damaged proteins and organelles, a quality control mechanism that is critical for counteracting the negative consequences of AGING.

Disrupted autophagy has been linked to Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and other disorders that appear in the elderly. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause genetic disease. Disturbances in the autophagic machinery have also been linked to CANCER.

Finally Intense research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases.

What can we get from this study?

 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016-10-3 Yoshinori Ohsumi

At first, there would be no much difference. Over time, “autophagy” will be emerging as a powerful keyword. Wherever you go, you will see “autophagy”.

Our life is always like yesterday and today… But we will always find the answer!!! Social will get better little by little!!! We can make it!!!

Someone says it is reckless optimism. It is very sharp observation. I want to be a certain person. Also I want many people to be Messenger of PeaceThen the world will be more cool. 🙂

The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 “Al” Gore #4

“Al” Gore

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 "Al" Gore #4

“Al” Gore is an American environmentalist and politician.

I first know him as a environmental activist. He is famous.

WHY?

Now you know? He deliver a talk to warn the world about the dangers of global warming more than a thousand times!!!

The Nobel committee indicate that “Global warming is a serious risk that induce large scale migration and the fiercer competition for the planet’s resources to increase the risk of war and conflict “.

Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Committee alert the world to these risks. So The Nobel committee give credit for Gore and Climate Change Committee.

Do you know ‘An Inconvenient Truth’?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 "Al" Gore #4

It is a 2006 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about former United States Vice President Al Gore‘s campaign. It alerts the public to an increasing “planetary emergency” due to global warming. The documentary was a critical and box-office success, winning two Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song.

Hmm.. I know Al gore is a controversial figure. But I don’t want to say about this problem. I want to focus on “How hard he try to achieve PEACE

The surprising thing is that  More people are becoming interested in environmental issues. So Al gore can win a Nobel Prize. Finally I would like to pay a standing ovation to his efforts. Beyond that I cannot say more.

Judgment is your free. But Freedom carries responsibility.

I think 2nd Annual Commemoration of September 18th WARP Summit largely can be divided into three part.

  • First. Conferences and Forums.
  • Second. “PEACE March”-themed world parade and traditional cultural performances.
  • Third. “War and Peace “ cards section performances.

First. Conferences and Forums.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit   They always make an effort to achieve peace. They go deep into the Action plan(s) based on common ground of understanding and practicality of the DPCW to create “tangible results at a national level”. They are really longing for peace. But in fact, we have to thank them. I was deeply touched by their cordiality.

Why do they want peace more then us?

We are One. We are not different. Do you agree? I agree!!! We want ‘peace’. We don’t want to see my friends and family dying. Who want to? But we turned a blind eye to people dying. Who died? Our friends!!! So many young lives were sacrificed in the war.

What’re they getting out of this war?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

 

Second. “PEACE March”-themed world parade and traditional cultural performances.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

There are so many cultures. I feel like ‘The world come in my mind’. It’s so beautiful and amazing. I can’t imagine how hard they try.

Why? I think they are very culturally advanced.

 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

This is really must be watched. Only someone who are on the spot can feel vividly. This picture is so colorful, isn’t it? It is my favorite picture.   

 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

Lastly after light glows in the dark, international law expert, all over the incumbent ministers, religious leaders, leaders of women and youth groups begin to parade.

Messengers of peace yell out a cheer!!!!  

Someone say “Please give us peace… help us..” “We believe in you guys” 

 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

Everybody joins hands and dances around. There are no authoritative adults. They are becoming one in the name of “peace”. 

I feel like “Peace is really really coming”

 

Third. “War and Peace “ cards section performances.

About 12,000 HWPL members make this picturesque scenery. 12,000 people seem small as numbers. But Look closely and you will find how hard they try. 

Someone must say “How much money you need to move them?” I was curious about that too. If you are sitting over there, Can you put up with it? The sun grew blazing as the day wore on.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

We are so free but that HWPL members can’t move. We eat our snack but that HWPL members can’t eat anything. We can see this beautiful performance but that HWPL members only see their back of card. 

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Peace is Coming!!! HWPL : 2nd Annual Commemoration of WARP Summit

 

They move like that only for peace.

How many people could “move like that”?

Do you know that? He was in prison for a long time. How long?

26 years!!!!! It’s surprising!!!!

It’s sad.. And I have mixed feelings.

Why did he go to jail? Hmm… It’s mixed.

in 1961 Mandela, Sisulu, and Slovo co-founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (“Spear of the Nation”, abbreviated MK). Becoming chairman of the militant group, Mandela gained ideas from Marxist literature on guerilla warfare by Mao and Che Guevara as well as from the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz.(Wikipedia)

So he was captured in 1962. He gave his final testimony  in court. It is called Rivonia Trial Speech in 1964.

I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to see realised. But if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” 

After 30 years later his inauguration took place in Pretoria on 1994.

“We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for allLet there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.” – Inaugural Speech in 1994

One more hour a day!!!

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE One more hour a day!!!

This one hour is what other people don’t have. So It is special. That’s right?

I’m really concerned about how to spend my 1 hour.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE One more hour a day!!!

While this I realize that I write ‘my’ 1 hour.

First, I thought that I wanted to be better than other people to spend that 1 hour.

I asked me a question. What is criteria about ‘better man’?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE One more hour a day!!!

Curiously answer of ‘my’ time and answer of criteria are same.

The criteria for all is God and shepherd with God.

It is not my time. I’m allowed an hour.

The criteria of better man is a man who are recognized by God.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE One more hour a day!!!

Our purpose is clear. It is the healing of the nations.

Also what I have to do is clear. I usually want to write diary if it is an ordinary day.

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE One more hour a day!!!

But I need to grow more and more.

I want to rush into work. And I want to struggle desperately.

And then I will change in spite of myself. 🙂
