             The biggest growing area in Hita city, there was a beginning of a man - made pollinating operation of a cultivated house [for breeding]. At the thought of the house on the day that the temperature has risen up since the early summer it was the time for breeding for the white flowers that has already bloomed, the farmhouses were pursued by the pollinating operation

               Itou Kou – san (60) the woman of this summer garden house that was held on 18th, with 45 areas for breeding flowers she informed that it was counted as the third of the pollinating operation in this year. The farmhouse and some people came to join and made a pollen flowers, then the productions from the pollinated pistil came out.

             Due to the severe winter period that was cold in this year, when compared with the last year, it was the decreasing level of blooming ability, on this weekend the meeting of the pollinating operation will be held. On the first ten days of April they will thin out superfluous fruit, and in the middle ten days of July the shipment will begin.

              The domination of the increasing of fuel coast influent to Fukuoka for example, the heat was searching to be used in the heating house this year. Itou – san said with disappointed feeling that [the shipping of the heating house is going to be in slowly progress for the house in Hita city that could not find the heat the shipment has become important, means that there is a possibility of these decreasing  productions value in the future].

Comment: This news makes me realize that it is the time for looking back to the past, what we have done to the nature and environment. We can not reject that we have to lean on plants – do the role as the producer that we used to study in the science class – that give us the element needs, for human like us just take the benefit from them and damage the earth ,now won’t you think that all things we have done serve us right…

A little bit more that I want to say is not only growing plants but also growing the consciousness in people mind which is comes from inside that  should be the best way of growing the future of the earth.

             In the last Fall, there were 2 foreigners instructors who worked for Nakatsu NOVA School, the broken business English conversation school opened their own English conversation school at a metropolis of Nakatsu city “We have done a new start at Nakatsu. We want to convey a fun of the English converstion tightly” and “To start it all over again” said with confidence.

             These 2 instructors, one of them is Micheale Mucheri (29) from Canada and another one is Stuard Benson (21) from New Zealand. Micheale had a teaching experience at NOVA for 2 years and for Stuard is 3 months. Micheale also has a wife from the same hometown.

             After the sudden of the broke, Micheale also thought about returning back to his country, but he said “I want to continue my work in Japan, I want to take a responsibility for teaching English conversation”, as same as Stuard’s view point, he is studying Japanese at the University “I want to be an English teacher in Japan”. So, they chose the place of the new beginning with their attachment.

             “By the condition of feeling groping, there was also the discouragement for us, but from the support of NOVAs’ students and previously our friends who are at the same condition have just begun a school. We shaped the enthusiasm that was supported by the attemption of friends in Oita and the North Kyushu.

             These 2 guys want to try this work with their jumping spring from all of power they have got and by the experienced occurrences they faced with.

              (Neez, the proper system, can hold your English conversation tightly with the content of the lecture has been taken. “We want to teach English conversation by being fun and being important to the feeling – like your home’s atmosphere in the class). These are things they are eagle to do for students.

              This is a real good chance for Japanese kids to learn English practically from natives.  So, let's go ahead!!
