This is the first JEI newsletter of 2024 (Reiwa 6). We look forward to your continued support this year as well. The JEI newsletter vol.12 (Winter issue of 2023) has been published!

We have been grateful for your continued patronage of our 1 and 2 line electric lock control panels (CB-1A, 2A) for many years. However, despite considering various options, it has become difficult for us to manufacture a product that can be switched over immediately, and we have decided to discontinue production and end sales. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers. We kindly ask for your understanding and continued support.

A month has passed since the New Year began. This month, I will write about the modern media article, "The Gen Z Facing 'The Cruelty of Kindness' That Can't Be Scolded by Adults." You can find more details in the related links.

This time, I will write about the National Exchange Conference of the Public Corporation on October 19, the lecture by the Director of the Sports Bureau of Teikyo University, and how to create an autonomous organization through a psychologically safe environment. The director is a legend in the rugby world, having led the Teikyo University rugby team to nine consecutive championships.

The change of seasons is swift, and there is only one month left this year. This month, I will write about the Harvard University professor featured in the Nikkei newspaper, who is testing the "meaning of being human" with AI.

Finally, it has become a comfortable season. This month, I will write about the June 29th opinion column in the Nikkei Newspaper, "Will Sony surpass Suzuki?" You can find more details through the related link.

We have received certification as a "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2023 in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Division" and recently had an interview with AXA Life Insurance as a certified company.

- Health Management Project Newsletter No. 28 (Autumn 2023) - Gassho, JEI aims to achieve the happiness of all employees in both mind and body, striving for a health management approach that allows for healthy and enjoyable work. I completely forgot about the publication of the summer issue. Now, while there seems to be a trend in society that the COVID-19 pandemic is subsiding, among the students of my dojo, Shiseikan, there are those who have contracted the virus for the second time. In the middle school that one of these students attends, as many as 10 students in a single grade have been reported to have contracted the virus, making it a situation where we cannot let our guard down. Please continue to be mindful of infection prevention. Thank you as always. Please read this with your entire family. Yui-te.

The temperature has dropped a bit, and the climate has become more comfortable. The JEI Newsletter vol.11 (Autumn 2023 issue) has been published!
