Hungry Bears

Bears are appearing in various areas in Japan recently. Many were found wondering into places where they may pose a danger to the people living there. Is the food supply for these bears dwindling and forcing them to leave the mountains? Four persons have been reportedly killed by bears so far. These bears are not known to eat humans, but an autopsy done on a recently killed bear turned up what appeared to be human flesh in its stomach.

About my name Candilin

In recent years, I have come to realise that my name 'Candilin' has been used by others. Once in a while I run checks on my name on Google to see what it turns up with. Recently I find people with the same names. There is also an anti-fungi drug in my name!As such I thought I should at least tell you where my name Candilin came from, in case you think I am a copier, instead of the originator.When I was 12 years old (some 30 years ago!), I started using the nickname of Candy because at that time there was a famous Japanese anime called Candy Candy. But then I thought the name to be a little too common and wanting to be special, I tried to modify that name into something original. My first penpal was named Adeline, and I thought girls' name should end with a 'line' like hers. So I played with adding 'line' to Candy, and in grammar, we learnt that by changing a noun to plural, 'y' becomes 'i', I changed Candy to Candiline. My name was Candiline for sometime until I dropped the 'e' at the back so that people would stop pronouncing it as Can-di-line, instead of Can-di-lin.That was how I came up with my name 'Candilin' 32 years back. Maybe someone somewhere too came up with this name on his or her own, and I really don't mind. I just want to clarify that I did not copy my name from somewhere, I invented it!
