ZEISS Lens, I have not known before.

 (Contax Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/28)
As for "Carl Zeiss Lens", it seemed to be German product for any camera geek..
But it was a Japanese lens which I get cheap as a used.
"Contax"was such a Japanese brand for believers of legendary Zeiss camera lens.
Not so few Japanese camera freaks are obsessed by the peal of "ZEISS". 
In fact, Zeiss don't product camera lens so much now. On the more, it had to compensate Nikon for infringement of "stepper patent"with huge reconcile money. But Zeiss does their business with rendering only their brand value to Japanese consumers.
By the way, I used Japanese Zeiss" Distagon".
It was needed to renovated to mount on Canon SLR. It was high color contrast lens (especially azure of sky).Resolution was not so high as Nikon.

Arrest On Different Or Misdemeanor Charges

Prosecutors often take a nasty way to get someone entrapped. When AUM shinnrikyou incident (1995)happened,Many adherents got arrested on misdemeanor charge,for example offending parking prohibitions. They could have got arrested on treason,but didn't.
 By the way, Some collaborators or conspirators for WikiLeakes might be arrested on TREASON.
It is an unnatural fact that Assange got accused of a rape. In fact,it is easy for nasty administration or prosecutor to forge someone a sexual offender. Any woman who had relation with him can claim his sexual abuse. All Prosecutors have to do is to coax such a girl.
 Establishments might feel like avoiding to arrest someone on TREASON. Because to do such a thing is to give him an opportunity to manifest his political belief. It will be backfires. "Arrest him on disgraceful charge.and give no chance for his political manifestation" Will Assange quit being a fugitive?

Bought The Farm

Why does the phrase "bought the farm" mean to die in action ? I can't find etymological origin of the phrase still now. If the phrase were to be "bought the tombstone" I could comprehend it. It might be the most unique phrase for non-native speaker of English.

We shall all die. But I don't want to die in a hospital. We were all farmer. and Someday may buy the farm.

Linguistic Deiversity

Why has English got the status as the global medium language? Because of the same reason, Windows,Microsoft  subdued  OS system in the PC world.
 Almost people feel tough to learn foreign language, and if one take a minor language as a first foreign language, he might repent it, and be bewildered to say"The arduous lesson to master language which is used for few people, was only waste of effort"Of course, It was the reason for many people to select English as the first foreign language.
  local languages will disappear sooner or later, and several global languages will prosper. Spanish, Chinese will still remain global language except for English. This three languages can be told as a language imperialism.
  German might be difficult to survive. German was only dialect,and German nobles spoke French before Goethe's Era. German language has accompanied with Nationalism. German can master English much easier than other language speakers. But, on the other hand,English speaker feel always tough to learn German, and Many German use not German but English so often abroad.
 Moreover, Many German singers sing their songs in English as much as"Schlager(Hits)" sung in German. Many people might think "It is convenient to dispense with German language."
 Japanese will survive absolutely. Because Japanese can't master English so easy and English speaker can't do Japanese alike too. Not to be intelligible may be advantageous in survival of languages.

Language Business gets tough on a docile people in Japan.

My plan to build up my English skill has been decided,and all I have to do is the regular exercise everyday.
In Japan, Leaning English is the opportunity for various business. Many Japanese worry about their own skills of English, and feel  pressure for it. English teaching shark threatens poor skilled employees. "Without English skills, You shall be dismissed!"
English has come to be a kind of "Fear Industry"in Japan.  Will English force Japanese to discard indigenous language ? It might not to be .Japan was defeated at WW2. But Now language battle between English and Japanese will end in Japanese winning before long. Because Japanese won't be able to use English so well.
Some teachers say foreseeing ,"Children will lose their interests in English, blaming it on utilitarianism in education . After all , not all of us need to speak foreign language, do we?"
 Majority of Japanese will get nothing from learning English, even though businesses recite a cliche "English is indispensable for business."
