<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>昨日の虹、ご覧になりましたか！　すごかったですね。</p>
<p>ところで、世田谷ものづくり学校を舞台に「自由大学」というものが<br />
はじまっています。<br />
<a href="http://www.freedom-univ.com/home/">http://www.freedom-univ.com/home/</a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>いわゆるシブヤ大学とも似通った「誰でも先生」な<br />
ものなのですが、違うのは有料なところ。</p>
<p>基本5回シリーズで3万円くらいなのですが、<br />
これは講義する先生だけでなく、講義をPRなどの面で補助する「キュレーター」<br />
も、働いただけ報酬がもらえる「フリユニ」制度を設けています。</p>
<p>講座だけでなく、新しい働き方も提示しているのです。</p>
<p>新しい講座が色々始まっていて、<br />
編集学校とか　<a href="http://www.freedom-univ.com/lecture/detail75.html">http://www.freedom-univ.com/lecture/detail75.html</a></p>
<p>動きながら学ぶ「Action English」とか　<a href="http://www.freedom-univ.com/lecture/detail50.html">http://www.freedom-univ.com/lecture/detail50.html</a></p>
<p>面白い講座がたくさん始まっています。</p>
<p>私も、実は秋から講座を開催するのですが、<br />
それは置いておいて、</p>
<p>今までステキな本を何冊も書かれた深井さんが、ご自身の講座をはじめることになりました。</p>
<p>それぞれ、みなさんステキな経験をしても、どう出力すればよいか……。困ることがありますよね。そこを、最も分かりやすく分解して、伝える講座です。<br />
詳しい講座内容は下記のリンクをクリックして頂いて……。</p>
<p>あの、たくさん本を出されている中谷彰宏さんが、ゲストでいらっしゃるそうです。</p>
<p>──────────────────────────<br />
『　自分の本をつくる方法　』　<br />
　<br />
講師：　深井次郎 （文筆家・コミュニケーションディレクター）　<br />
日時：　８月４日スタート　（毎週火曜・全５回）<br />
場所：　世田谷ものづくり学校</p>
<p>あの人気作家　“ 中谷彰宏さん ”　ゲスト出演決定！</p>
<p>●講座の詳細はこちら<br />
　⇒　http://www.freedom-univ.com/lecture/detail86.html<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>「　なぜ中谷さんは、830冊も本が書けるんですか。<br />
　　まさか、クローンが何人かいるんじゃないですか　」</p>
<p>「　はははっ、違うんだよ、実はね・・・　」</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
■「良質×大量×継続」のアウトプット術</p>
<p>深井次郎さんが、中谷彰宏さんにキワドイ質問をぶつけます。</p>
<p>・もし中谷さんが今、無名の若者に戻ったら<br />
　最初の１冊目をどのようにして出しますか<br />
・仕事が殺到するためにした仕組みとは<br />
・中谷ブランドを築くために、特化したことと、捨てたもの<br />
・８３０冊書いてわかった、売れるコンテンツ<br />
・質を落とさずに、アウトプット量を増やすには<br />
・中谷彰宏事務所で行われている知的生産システムとは<br />
・本の未来、未来の文筆業はどのように変わっていくのか、etc.</p>
<p>この機会を逃したら二度と聞けない丸秘レクチャー、要チェックだ。</p>

<description><![CDATA[I was reading this recipe book on Macrobiotic eating and one of the ingredients featured is Burdock ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was reading this recipe book on Macrobiotic eating and one of the ingredients featured is Burdock (<span lang="zh">牛蒡</span>). Noted that it has blood cleansing properties, I decided to give it a try because Alex eats mostly the same type of fish, Threadfin for his source of animal-based protein. I must say I don&#8217;t have much knowledge on medical properties of food ingredients, hence reading up as I go along.</p>
<p>For cooking, I added burdock into the soup base which I cooked. The root can be stored for 2-3 weeks in fridge, so I&#8217;ll keep aside what I don&#8217;t use for the next time.</p>
<p>Use of Burdock (from <a href="http://www.naturalherbsguide.com/burdock.html">Naturalherbalguide</a>)</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Burdock root has often been used to purify the blood by removing toxins that can build up in blood. It can be taken orally or used topically as a remedy for skin disorders. Also, burdock root can be a diuretic or soothe aching joints. Traditional Chinese healers used burdock root in combination with other plants to make cures for colds, measles, throat pain, and tonsillitis.</span></p>
<p>Medical properties (<a href="http://baike.baidu.com/view/9480.htm">from 百度百科</a>)</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">牛蒡的纤维可以促进大肠蠕动，帮助排便，降低体内胆固醇，减少毒素、废物在体内积存，达到预防 中风和防治胃癌、子宫癌的功效。西医认为它除了具有利尿、消积、祛痰止泄等药理作用外，还用于便秘、高血压、高胆固醇症的食疗。中医认为有疏风散热、宣肺 透疹、解毒利咽等功效。可用于风热感冒、咳嗽痰多、麻疹风疹、咽喉肿痛。</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In one of my last post of &#8220;<a href="http://alloverdeplace.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/alex-says-mao/">Alex says &#8216;mao&#8217;</a>&#8220;, Alex loves this animal book that I borrowed from the library. I have returned it since and will borrow it for him again if I come across it.</p>
<p>There are two titles which I borrowed, on transportation and animals. I love how mind invoking the books are for kids.  As the kid first turned a page, a cryptic picture came to view. Only when the page  with a cut out is turned, the kid can tell what the picture really is. There is also a breadcrumb trail of which animal has been shown, and this could be used to test the kid&#8217;s memory. The parent read the accompanying text to allow the kid to make a guess. Alex is still young to appreciate the text. For now he could just enjoy the vibrant colours and the &#8220;magic&#8221; the book created for him. Hope the books make his imagination soar to a newer height. :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This world is pressing upon me like an elephant<br />
I cannot focus<br />
my stomach has turned<br />
I am making the same mistakes I&#8217;ve done before<br />
I am angry at myself for letting these things escalate.<br />
I am jumping ship as quickly as I can and yet I am jumping no where new.<br />
I need to grow I want to grow I must grow.<br />
Life is joke<br />
Life is long<br />
Life is short<br />
I am what I am<br />
the cultural measuring stick has sunk<br />
My happiness will not be based around the flash and the shine.<br />
I am bigger and more significant then that.<br />
I must find whats mine. But to do that I must grow. Or see that I have grown already and accept the now.<br />
Be here now, for that is all we ever have.<br />
I am good.<br />
I am well.<br />
I am growing.<br />
Only I can change the course of my life. I am the captain the world is my sea.<br />
I will sail to what island will satisfy me.<br />
But the secret is you are never done, so relax. Do all you can but be easy on yourself. Be easy.</p>
