rehabilitation

Apple-Twilight (in production 8/15)：second half、I'm reconsidering my thoughts

Increased finger strength、I started “rehabilitation” with amateur therapy.。two strong fingers、This is a stretch where you turn your left and right middle fingers backwards.。Although it is called “amateur therapy”、This is something that a doctor recommends on the internet as being effective.。If you try it、My fingers become straight, even if only temporarily.、I didn't feel any particular pain after that.、I rely on the feeling that somehow it looks good.。

2It was a year or two ago that I went to a local orthopedic surgeon.。Both cases were diagnosed as "tendonitis."。The sheath that runs through the tendon of the finger is degenerated.、This means that inflammation is caused by friction with the tendon.。This is thought to be caused by overuse、When I was overworked in painting, it was nothing.、Because I have been working a lot on the computer.、At first I thought it was rheumatism。I never felt like I was using my fingers too hard when using a computer.。My spring finger got stronger and I went to the clinic.、At that point, I learned that the tendonitis had progressed considerably.。
Get the ointment、As part of my rehabilitation, I underwent treatment using laser light.、Although I spent a lot of time at the clinic, I didn't feel any effects.、2~I stopped after 3 months.。

Draw a large size picture、Your fingers move in different ways than when you use a computer.。There are big differences in the way you apply force.、It's completely different from a keyboard that you simply press.。After all、Is that a kind of “massage”?、Somehow it feels good。to draw a picture、Even if there are times when I overwork my fingers,、There are many variations in usage、Reaffirming that there is no one pattern。

So、I felt like trying stretching again.。Looking at the reference example、① Curved fingers：102 sets of ~30 seconds x 20 times in the morning and evening = 30 seconds = 20 minutes in total ② Finger bending：102 sets of ~30 seconds x 20 times in the morning and evening = 20 minutes。40 minutes in total。It takes 20 minutes just for one side.、Although it is longer than laser treatment (7 minutes)、There is no "wait time"。
Continue for at least 2 months。I have to forget、Please let us know from time to time。

Hit and Run

Apple-Twilight CG additions in progress

Summer high school baseball at Hanshin Koshien Stadium。Time to watch、I don't have time to listen to the radio、I ended up losing interest in the results.、I suddenly heard the phrase "hit and run" on the news.。I think it's about high school baseball.、If you listen closely, you will hear about the war in Ukraine.、It was the Himas (high-mobility rocket artillery system) provided by the United States.。

The Ukrainian army is struggling with a reversal offensive.、It seems to be the most used weapon.、To my surprise, the topic was that “losses have not been confirmed.”。That means not a single one has been lost.。Even the Leopard 2 tank entered Ukraine with much fanfare.、Several cars have already been reported lost.。Unless the other person is just standing there in a daze.、No matter how good a weapon is, it will still cause some damage.。Even the other person、Because we are fighting with the latest weapons.、Zero losses is hard to believe.。

I think it's the so-called "Imperial Headquarters Announcement".、Apparently not.。The reason is "hit and run"。It's a little different from baseball though、There is a tactic called ``Run (run away) as soon as you shoot.''、Apparently this is the main reason for “zero loss”。Heimas runs on tires、It was placed on a so-called truck-shaped launch pad.、GPS-guided rocket system。The downside is that you can't drive without roads.、It takes 30 seconds from arriving at the scene to confirming the target position with GPS、2It takes 30 seconds after firing the bullet to return the platform to its original position and move.。In other words, it only takes about 1 minute from attack to retreat.。2It takes a little time to load from start to finish.、4It is said that even if the gun is fired, it can be withdrawn in 3 minutes.。Russian army、It takes at least 90 seconds to confirm the launch position of Heimas.、It takes a few more minutes before we're ready to fire a shell or missile back at it.。During that time, the trolley can leave the location at a maximum speed of 85 km/h.、It seems that it can avoid counterattack.。Truly a hit and run。It will also give the soldiers a great sense of security.。on top of that、It is said that "zero loss" is achieved by thoroughly concealing information about the storage location.。That's all、すべてネット上で見た限りですが。

大砲で撃ちあうなんて、第一次世界大戦並みの“古めかしい戦い” などと一方で言われてきましたが、それを聞くとさすがに現代の戦争です。撃った位置に、たちどころに撃ち返されるなんて。逃げ足の速さが勝敗を分ける。同じようにウクライナ軍に供与された、各種の「榴弾砲（自走も含む）」が相当数破壊（当然、その場の人的損失も出る）されているのも、その逃げ足が遅いためなのだとか。その数分間がまさに生死を分けているのですね。
　不謹慎ですが、自分のスピード感覚が時代に遅れていることも感じました。

Hands

8/12（土）アップロードしました

毎日手を使って生活しているのが当たり前で、わたしだけでなくほとんどの人が「いま手を使っているぞ」などとは意識しないでしょう。意識するのは怪我や病気などで一時的に使えなくなるときくらい。あるいは楽器演奏などで、譜面通りに指動かすことができないもどかしさ、工作などであと一本指があれば！とか思うときくらいでしょう。

手は、便利というよりかけがえのないもので、これが人間を他の動物と隔てる壁になっているようです。手が「手」になっているのは人間と「類人猿」だけです。But、それ以外の動物もきっと「『手』が欲しい」とは思ってもいないし、それで満足しているはずです。人間だけが手の便利さを知っているから、手が失われたとき、それを補うための道具を考え、そして何より「作れる」のです。さすがに「類人猿」でもそれはできません。

それが「文化」「文明」の力なのでしょう。思想や技術の蓄積、つまりは歴史。人間だけが「歴史」を持っていると言えば、for a moment、そんなことはないと感じるかもしれません。But、どんな恐竜がどの時代に生きていたかを、人間が作った物差しの中で照らしてみることができるのは人間だけだ、と理解すれば意味は伝わるでしょう。恐竜の骨はたんに「物」であるだけで、それ自体は「歴史」ではないからです。恐竜学者が新しい骨の発掘にワクワクするのは、人類の「新しい歴史」を自分が創っているからです。

もしもわたしたちに手がなければ、すべては「お手上げ」状態で、食事さえままなりません。うまく鳥を捕まえたとしても、ワニのように丸呑みするか、脚で抑えて口で翅をむしり、何より「生きたまま」食べなければなりません。あるいは屍肉か。ほとんどの野生動物がそうしているように。あるいは植物の実や葉を求めて季節ごとに移動しなければ餓死してしまいます（しかも歩いて）。魚など食べることはほぼ一生できないでしょう。And、歴史を持たないまま絶滅します。
recently、手の指がだんだん曲がったままこわばるようになり、ことさら手のことを考えるようになりました。
