　The ancient Italian city of Pompeii was located on the Bay of Naples. A vesuvius volcano erupted and rock and ash flew through the air. The city and Many people were buried under the ash in 79 A.D. In this century, the excavated Roman city seemed to a second death because of years of inattention and mismanagement, not eruption. However, Pompeii is starting a rebirth. A restoration project prevented the ruins from damaging by using the latest computer technology. The Great Pompeii Project was a $120 million restoration effort that ended in 2016. It helped stop the ruins from further harm. But, the ruins battle against time and new problems occur now. AI and robots doing work that is impossible for people.  we make the most of AI at the ruins. AI and robots keep the ruins from collapsing and help repair damage to structures in a building. In addition, the goals of the Pompeii park go further than protecting ruins. We can try to contribute to a change. We can overcome new difficulties. 

　

　I leaned that ruins of Pompeii faced new problems and tried to deal with them. I chose to introduce this story to this class because I learned about Pompeii in other class and was interested in it. This story made me feel like became wiser.

    Hi, Kaho!
    I first heard the name of the city "Pompeii" on this blog. I was surprised to learn that AI technology is being used in the project to restart or restore the ruins!
    Thank you

    Hi, Kaho! At first, although I have heard Pompeii, I didn't know what happened before and what's going on now. I think robots doing work that is impossible for people is very good things! I hope Pompeii continues to rebirth with technology.

    If ancient people knew that Pompeii was protected by AI and robots, they must be surprised! Even if such historical places face collapse or ruin, I think people have to prevent destruction by using every way they have. I hope the AI and robots preserve historical things in the future.

    I read this summary with interest, because I am also interested in Pompeii very much. There have been some problems still now, I believe could rebuild ruins in Pompeii and see old, beautiful townscape in the end. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Kaho,

    Thank you for sharing me about this story. I have been to travel in Rome twice time.
    As you informed, this problem is faced on serious things and we also need to preserve the remains at Pompeii, and pay attention to another heritages in Rome or the whole Italy.
    I saw some heritages such as Colosseo or Terme di Caracalla etc..
    To keep a preserve many heritages, it needs to invest a huge amount of time and money.
    So, Something you said got me thinking again.
    Thank for reminding me this cause.

    I hope that you would continue to raise an intriguing question for everyone.

    Thank you.

    Nozomi☺

    I knew the name Pompeii but I didn't know well about it.
    I was very surprised that many people and the city were buried under the ash when a vesuvious volcano erupted!
    I understood that Pompeii has experienced various difficulties.

An newspaper company attacked by pressure group　Hinata Nishizawa & Yuki Sawano

   Yesterday morning, Yamaguchi-gumi, a right-wing pressure group, attacked the Asahi newspaper company in Tokyo. As a result, about 20 members of the group were arrested. At that time there were 500 people who were working in the company. There were 100 people injured. There were no fatalities. They used something like baseball bats to attack. Due to this attack, the company was damaged. For example, 1000 windows were broken, and some articles were stolen. The cost to repair the windows is 1,000,000 yen. The group suggested that the Asahi company tells people incorrect news, so they attacked. The Asahi did not publish today’s newspapers. The prime minister, KISHIDA Humio, said “It is unforgiveable to attack freedom of expression. We need to defend it.”

Hello! My name is Yu Obata, please call me Yu. I grew up in Niigata, and I live in an apartment near the Niigata University with my twin sister who also belong to Niigata University. I'm a 2nd year student, and my major is agriculture engineering. To overcome the weakness of speaking and listening to English, I take part in this English-language course. After this program, I will be able to speak English better than before. I like vegetable, rice, meat, fruit, and everything to eat, but I don't like bitter one like coffee. When I have free time, I often watch movies, eat something, drive a car, or talk with my sister. Though I like eating, I don't like eating out. As a part-time job, I have typed what teachers said for those who are hearing impaired. It was conducted by Niigata University.  I describe my good points as having rich imagination. However, I have a bad point spending much time to decide something. I'd like to travel all over the world as well as Japan in th...

Hi, my name is David Woodfield. I live in Dunedin, NZ, together with my wife, Patricia, our dog, Neo, and our daughter’s cat, Beetlejuice. I’m teaching this course in fulfilment of my duties as a teacher at the University of Otago. My likes include reading, watching TV and walking. I like reading books about faith, art & society. As for TV, I enjoy watching romantic movies. I like walking from my home to my office and taking Neo for walks around my neighbourhood . I’m not a fan of waiting in queues, eating chocolate that has a sticky or chewy centre, or trying to figure out what’s wrong when my computer isn’t doing what I want it to do. As you know, I am an English language teacher. I enjoy my job because I am interested in language and I like working with people from a variety of cultures. As for my good point, I would say it is that I’m optimistic. My bad point though is ‘leaving things to the last minute.’ My goal is to be a better person.
