How a Japanese Otaku Decoded Vermeer's Art Materpieces ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Vermeer meets the obsessive mind of a Japanese Otaku!
Japan's Otaku are known for being obsessive about their passions. In fact, that's the definition of an Otaku - and they're socially inept. Professor Shin-Ichi Fukuoka is not just one of those guys, he's the leading Vermeer Otaku in the world with amazing scientific abilities -- and that obsessive mental laser has led to some amazing discoveries in the art field.
Using his Otaku super mind, he's uncovered some new clues into Vermeer's life and also that of Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology. They're things missed for centuries by thousands of experts.
This look into the mind of an Otaku is also a way to see how Vermeer has become so popular in Japan. People wait for hours to see his work and there are even drinks and soups made in honor of his work!
So why is Vermeer so big here? Professor Fukuoka will enlighten us, in the geekiest way possible.
How far has his obsession gone? The professor has also recreated all of Vermeer's work, restoring the color to it's original -- now better than the originals -- as though they were painted over 300 years ago. Yeah, his passion for Vermeer is on another level. It's the highest level!

Tibet: Love the Party Attempt Criticized
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has carried out
love the Party' style education for several decades.
Recently, this is often being criticized,
and resisted by the public.
However, a party secretary in Tibet visited a local school
and urged its headmaster to teach students to love the CCP.
Commentaries blame this as a brainwashing education,
and poison to young people that limits their thinking.
It reverses their standards of good and bad,
as well as their sense of true values.
On July 14, Chen Quanguo, party secretary in Tibet,
visited a school in Lizhi District.
Before Chen left the school, he told the headmaster to pay
great attention on students' love for the communist party.
To actively encourage the students to join the CCP,
and to build up a strong grassroots foundation for the CCP.
To train students' sense of appreciation towards the CCP,
listening to and following the CCP.
To be solid in their minds on the issues
of anti-separatism and maintaining 'stability.'
Sun Wenguang, former professor at Shandong University,
said, to promote school' students to join the CCP is unnatural.
The CCP has persecuted Chinese people for decades,
using deception and violence.
Sun Wenguang: The party secretary went to a school
to brainwash the students.
To tell students to listen and follow the CCP,
is a slavery style education.
Many CCP' talks are incorrect. Following the CCP?
The CCP is wrong, will you still follow it?
This is harmful, to use such a brainwashing education
for the younger generation, is to poison them.
Writer Jing Chu points out
that Tibet is under CCP's heavy control.
Tibet has independent culture and education system, thus
CCP uses brainwashing methods to poison Tibetan students.
They want to control their thoughts, reversing their standards
for good and bad, as well as their true values.
Jing Chu: Regarding the education system in China,
first comes the hatred indoctrination.
The second is ideologically controlled education.
Third is the deceit education, training the child to lie.
The forth is double personality education,
encouraging them to talk one thing, but to do another.
Because the CCP has always been saying one thing,
but doing another over the years.
The CCP has ruled for decades, over 80 million people
were persecuted to death via its various political moments.
CCP admitted to have reduced the population by 400 million
in the past 30 yrs. by one-child policy, most forced abortions.
In addition, many died during campaigns of crackdown
and maintaining 'stability,' like the June 4 movement, and the persecution of Falun Gong.
Sun Wenguang commented on Chen Quanguo's request
for anti-separatism and maintaining 'stability' education.
Sun thinks people complain all over the place, protests
are everywhere, including by students born after 1990.
The CCP faces challenges from the community,
that's why it hopes to strengthen the education of the youth.
Sun Wenguang: Maintaining 'stability' is one aspect.
People also want democracy, election of leaders and declaring leader's property.
This request is increasingly high, so to dealt with it, the CCP
carries out maintaining of 'stability' to secure its power.
Sources said that on July 17, an 18-year old Tibetan monk
set himself on fire in Bharkham county, Sichuan province.
Since February 2009, 49 Tibetan monks have
set themselves on fire to protest against the CCP rule.
This year, tens of thousands protesters' demonstrations
happened frequently, with many of them in July.
For example, Shifang incident in Sichuan province,
Zhongshan migrant workers protested in Guangdong.
As well as incidents of farmers protecting their land
in Yangshan county, Guangdong province.
Jing Chu points out that maintaining 'stability' resulted in
disaster, thus to maintain this means to maintain disasters.
Jing Chu: The so-called maintaining 'stability' policy
is above all.
Actually this is to only maintain the privilege gains
of a small number of people.
It is not for the country, neither for the nation.
Its' aim is to control people's mind by listening to the CCP.
If the CCP tells you to entirely lose your conscience,
you must do it, or your discipline is said to be not up to par.
In September, Hong Kong's primary schools will have
new subjects of moral and national education.
The public questions if this education is for brainwashing,
and is strongly against it.
On July 11, many communities protested to the government,
demanding to withdraw the brainwashing education.

Adinkra symbols
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using

SUMMARY
=======
Adinkra are symbols that represent concepts or aphorisms. Adinkra are used extensively in fabrics and pottery among the Ashantis of Ashanti Kingdom and the baoules who historically migrated from Ghana. They are incorporated into walls and other architectural features. Fabric adinkra are often made by woodcut sign writing as well as screen printing. Adinkra symbols appear on some traditional Akan goldweights. The symbols are also carved on stools for domestic and ritual use. Tourism has led to new departures in the use of the symbols in such items as T-shirts and jewellery.
The symbols have a decorative function but also represent objects that encapsulate evocative messages that convey traditional wisdom, aspects of life or the environment. There are many different symbols with distinct meanings, often linked with proverbs. In the words of Kwame Anthony Appiah, they were one of the means for supporting the transmission of a complex and nuanced body of practice and belief.
