Japan’s Strict Building Codes Saved Lives
“Amazing. // Japan’s Strict Building Codes Saved Lives - http://nyti.ms/dTjIQb”Yes. Are they strict enough? Are they too strict? Do they encourage the right things? Lives are a personal matter.

Memoirs About Language-Learning
“Read one and couldn't get through the first 50 pages of the other. Memoirs About Language-Learning - http://nyti.ms/fKD0Yv”English is such a powerful tool it is a shame not to master it.Most failures of expression are confessions of insufficient investment in thought and memory.

Sympathy for Japan, and Admiration
Our hearts are all with the Japanese today, after the terrible earthquake there – the worst ever recorded in Japan. But, having covered the 1995 Kobe earthquake (which killed more than 6,000 people and left 300,000 homeless) when I lived in Japan ...umh--no.I do not wish them any ill luck and they do better than many. This will put more stimulus in that economy. -

Afternoon Tea in New York: Serenity in the City
“Afternoon Tea in New York: Serenity in the City - http://nyti.ms/eHzdJE #NYC #Travel”Tea is a foreign custom. These tisanes and other infusions have nothing to do with it. It is the fourth meal, taken in the afternoon.Essentially it is a substitute for the beer after work.

Japan Declares Emergency at Nuclear Plant
The Japanese government evacuated thousands of residents after a mechanical failure in the cooling system.A very little bit of tritium and deuterium are not going to hurt people. A well designed seawater contact condenser would be a practical measure but would be politically impossible. -
