It was clear that they had arrived at their destination. The light filtering through the windows was already tinged with orange, as dusk transformed the cream-colored façade of Ulbdor’s most opulent pavilion into a warm hue. The mansion, which primarily catered to royalty and aristocrats of unassuming status, had an austere exterior that contrasted with its elegant interior. Guards clad in lead-colored armor patrolled not only around the gate but also throughout the courtyard and along every possible route into the building. No one dared to tread on this land, where men with formidable swords at their waists and stern headgear patrolled incessantly. Those who ventured here were either foolish or extraordinarily confident in their abilities. Seletina, however, couldn’t help but release a light sigh. Her disappointment stemmed from the fact that although the courtyard was adorned with beautiful flowers, the presence of these pompous men marred the otherwise picturesque scenery. in her that troubled her, but rather the values instilled in her as a lady She was acutely aware that this was a time of emergency, and she understood that the security measures were in place to prevent rioting citizens from surging into this sanctuary. Nevertheless, Seletina couldn’t contain her fervent desire to enjoy the view in peace. “I know, Lichter.” The door of their carriage was already open. Seletina shrugged her shoulders and followed behind Lichter, who had already gotten off. “What were you looking at?” “The garden. It’s in beautiful bloom. It truly is a sight to see.” “Hmph... We men don’t quite get these things you know.” “Hey!” “Oh, right... I forgot you’re a man too.” Poking Lichter around the waist with her elbow, Seletina gave him a stern look. However, Lichter seemed unfazed, wearing his usual aloof demeanor as he strode towards the guest house, whistling as he went. The interior of the guesthouse also exuded luxury. The corridor was adorned with paintings and furnishings seemingly eager to flaunt their opulence to anyone passing through. One might have expected Seletina’s own home to be similar, but it was quite the opposite. In contrast to her own abode, where items were meticulously placed and arranged for maximum elegance, this guesthouse lacked that finesse. It even appeared gaudy. Almost as if it was a display of the stolen goods of a bunch of thieves. For Seletina, who had diligently cultivated her dignity and ladylike refinement, the noble guesthouse left her feeling somewhat dissatisfied. In her view, it lacked taste. Lichter, walking ahead of her, also appeared to be viewing the decorations with dismay. The two men, accompanied by a soldier, proceeded down the extended corridor. The plush carpet felt comfortable beneath their feet, but someone with the sensibilities of a commoner would likely think twice before stepping on it. They walked for approximately three minutes until they reached their intended room. The soldier came to a halt and knocked three times on the door.</s>

The tragedy has been so uncommon, so complete, and of such personal importance to so many people that we are suffering from a plethora of surmise, conjecture, and hypothesis. The difficulty is to detach the framework of fact -- of absolute undeniable fact -- from the embellishments of theorists and reporters. Then, having established ourselves upon this sound basis, it is our duty to see what inferences may be drawn and what are the special points upon which the whole mystery turns. On Tuesday evening I received telegrams from both Colonel Ross, the owner of the horse, and from Inspector Gregory, who is looking after the case, inviting my cooperation.'' ``Tuesday evening!'' I exclaimed. ``And this is Thursday morning. Why didn't you go down yesterday?'' ``Because I made a blunder, my dear Watson -- which is, I am afraid, a more common occurrence than anyone would think who only knew me through your memoirs. The fact is that I could not believe it possible that the most remarkable horse in England could long remain concealed, especially in so sparsely inhabited a place as the north of Dartmoor. From hour to hour yesterday I expected to hear that he had been found, and that his abductor was the murderer of John Straker. When, however, another morning had come and I found that beyond the arrest of young Fitzroy Simpson nothing had been done, I felt that it was time for me to take action. Yet in some ways I feel that yesterday has not been wasted.'' ``You have formed a theory, then?'' ``At least I have got a grip of the essential facts of the case. I shall enumerate them to you, for nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person, and I can hardly expect your cooperation if I do not show you the position from which we start.'' I lay back against the cushions, puffing at my cigar, while Holmes, leaning forward, with his long, thin forefinger checking off the points upon the palm of his left hand, gave me a sketch of the events which had led to our journey. ``Silver Blaze,'' He is now in his fifth year and has brought in turn each of the prizes of the turf to Colonel Ross, his fortunate owner.</s>

I want to leave this up here and come back to it. But before I get to this slide, I just wanted to run you through this. And to say that for me, the next stage of building this platform that now enables us to move forward -- and we mustn't make light of it. It was only 5, 6, 7 years ago we couldn't even talk about the next chapter, because we were in the old chapter. We were going nowhere. The economies were not growing. We were having negative per capita growth. The microeconomic framework and foundation for moving forward was not even there. So let's not forget that it's taken a lot to build this, including all those things that we tried to do in Nigeria that Dele referred to. Creating our own program to solve problems, like fighting corruption, building institutions, stabilizing the micro economy. So now we have this platform we can build on. And it brings us to the debate that has been going on here: aid versus private sector, aid versus trade, etc. is that it's been a simplistic debate. And that's not what the debate should be about. That's engaging in the wrong debate. The issue here is how do we get a partnership that involves government donors, the private sector and ordinary African people taking charge of their own lives? How do we combine all this? To move our continent forward, to do the things that need doing that I talked about -- getting young people employed. Getting the creative juices flowing on this continent, much of what you have seen here. So I'm afraid we've been engaging a little bit in the wrong debate. We need to bring it back to say, what is the combination of all these factors that is going to yield what we want? And I want to tell you something. For me, the issue about aid -- I don't think that Africans need to now go all the way over to the other side and feel bad about aid. Africa has been giving the other countries aid. Mo Ibrahim said at a debate we were at that he dreams one day when Africa will be giving aid. The U.K. and the U.S. could not have been built today without Africa's aid." It is all the resources that were taken from Africa, including human, that built these countries today! So when they try to give back, we shouldn't be on the defensive. The issue is not that. The issue is how are we using what has been given back. How are we using it? Is it being directed effectively? I want to tell you a little story. Why I don't mind if we get aid, but we use it well. From 1967 to '70, Nigeria fought a war -- the Nigeria-Biafra war. And in the middle of that war, I was 14 years old. We spent much of our time with my mother cooking. For the army -- my father joined the army as a brigadier -- the Biafran army. We were on the Biafran side. And we were down to eating one meal a day, running from place to place, but wherever we could help we did. At a certain point in time, in 1969, things were really bad. We were down to almost nothing in terms of a meal a day. People, children were dying of kwashiorkor. I'm sure some of you who are not so young will remember those pictures. Well, I was in the middle of it. In the midst of all this, my mother fell ill with a stomach ailment for two or three days. We thought she was going to die. My father was not there.</s>

While it had been brief, she had analyzed quite a lot. Morris was quite impressed. “That’s all I know. Did you realize anything else, Mister Locke?” Luchila had noticed that I was watching too. “Indeed. But you learned a lot in a short amount of time. I don’t have much to add.” “Thank you.” “But if I were to add one thing...” And so I told Morris what Luchila had failed to realize. “That’s amazing. I didn’t notice that...” ‘Very good, Locke. And of course, you too, Luchila.’ “What do you think? Can you do it?” ‘I was able to gain more information than I was expecting. So I think it should be fine.’ “That’s good.” Once we had finished exchanging information about the bomb, Morris said: ‘...Mister Locke. I hope that my son isn’t causing you too much trouble?’ Morris sounded very worried. Of course, he was talking about Mors. Mors had stayed at Danton’s mansion in order to help strengthen it. “Mors was a great help to us. Thank you.” “Yes. Mors did amazingly. He did so much.” Kathe also gave her approval. ‘I am glad to hear that. By the way, where is he now?’ Perhaps Morris wanted to talk to his son. “We had him stay with Danton.” ‘Did he do something wrong...’ “No, it’s not like that. I told him that I didn’t mind, but he refused to ride on my back.” ‘I see. Well, that is only proper. It would have been unforgivable for him to ride on your back, Your Majesty.’ ‘...Kathe. When will you learn? You are the Wind Dragon Ruler.’ Apparently, riding on someone’s back had a significant meaning in dragon culture. “Hmph. But it’s faster that way...” Kathe did not seem very moved by their opinions. “To us, riding on someone’s back carries a special meaning.” Just then, Dorgo’s voice could be heard from the sky.</s>

However, Mitrof was raised as a nobleman’s son and was not straightforward enough to take praise from others at face value. When Mitrof casually brushed off the compliment, the receptionist gave her a look of surprise, as if she had been snubbed. Adventurers boast about their feats. Especially if they have defeated a famous monster, they will boast about it and make it a topic of conversation. This is a privilege granted only to adventurers who risk their lives in the labyrinth, and it is also their pride. Moreover, Mitrof is still young as an adventurer. The receptionist thought he would be happy to hear the compliment, but she seemed to have misjudged him and corrected her perception. “Are you going to the labyrinth again today?” “No, I want to attend a small shield training course today, but I don’t know where to ask.” “Training course!?” The receptionist’s mouth dropped open, and she covered it with her hand. “...What’s wrong?” “Uh, nothing. I never thought an adventurer would want to attend a training course.” “You’re doing a course for adventurers, right?—Is it because there aren’t many participants?” Mitrof tilted his head. “No, no, of course we’re offering it for free and targeting adventurers—however, it’s just that...” The receptionist looked around and lowered her voice to continue secretly. “It’s said that many adventurers care about their reputation and are sensitive to public opinion—it seems like taking a guild course is considered embarrassing.” Mitrof looked puzzled. It was understandable for adventurers to care about their reputation. Everyone was risking their lives fighting monsters, relying on their own strength and techniques. It was natural to have confidence and pride and to even compete against each other. However, Mitrof couldn’t give a damn if people made fun of him for taking a course at the guild on handling weapons. The receptionist pondered it for a moment and searched for words to convey it to Mitrof in a simple way. “For example, adventurers usually form parties—so let’s say, Mitrov-san is recruiting a tank to hold the enemy’s attacks with his shield. If someone applying for the position were to say, ‘I just attended a course on shield usage at the guild yesterday,’ wouldn’t they seem like a complete beginner who can’t be relied on?” “I think he’s a serious person with a desire to improve.” “Um, well...” The receptionist frowned in bewilderment. She looked around as if seeking help, then pushed up her glasses and cleared her throat.</s>

It's really important to get those images and to show it. But really, where are those birds going to get released to? It's like taking somebody out of a burning building, treating them for smoke inhalation and sending them back into the building, because the oil is still gushing. I refuse to acknowledge this as anything like an accident. I think that this is the result of gross negligence. Not just B.P. B.P. operated because they could. And they were allowed to do so because of the absolute failure of oversight of the government that's supposed to be our government, protecting us. It turns out that -- you see this sign on almost every commercial vessel in the United States -- you know, if you spilled a couple of gallons of oil, you would be in big trouble. And you have to really wonder who are the laws made for, and who has gotten above the laws. Now there are things that we can do in the future. We could have the kinds of equipment that we would really need. It would not take an awful lot that after making 30,000 holes in the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico looking for oil, oil might start coming out of one of them. And you'd have some idea of what to do. That's certainly one of the things we need to do. But I think we have to understand where this leak really started from. of the idea that the government is there because it's our government, meant to protect the larger public interest. So I think that the oil blowout, the bank bailout, the mortgage crisis and all these things are absolutely symptoms of the same cause. that at least we need the police to protect us from a few bad people. And even though the police can be a little annoying at times -- giving us tickets and stuff like that -- nobody says that we should just get rid of them. But in the entire rest of government right now and for the last at least 30 years, there has been a culture of deregulation that is caused directly by the people who we need to be protected from, buying the government out from under us. Now this has been a problem for a very, very long time. corporations were illegal at the founding of America, and even Thomas Jefferson complained that they were already bidding defiance to the laws of our country. Okay, people who say they're conservative, if they really wanted to be really conservative and really patriotic, they would tell these corporations to go to hell. That's what it would really mean to be conservative. So what we really need to do is regain the idea that it's our government safeguarding our interests and regain a sense of unity and common cause in our country that really has been lost. I think there are signs of hope. We seem to be waking up a little bit.</s>

Ah, about that, I left it behind in the room.」「A maid delivered everything after you left the room. Now we can continue our valuable experiments for a while. Thank you.」「Don’t thank me for such little things.」 Mira blushed, looking away from Solomon as she answered. She was indeed excited at making them. 「Ah, that reminds me, I should give it to you while I haven’t forgotten about it.」「Hmm. What is it?」 With those words, Solomon threw a pouch towards her. Mira caught it and something was jingling inside. 「It’s money, money. Do you remember Graia, the officer of the Magic Knights Order? I heard from him that you helped suppress some monsters. It’s the reward for that.」「Ah, is that so? But I already have more than enough money that I can go without worrying about it.」「Really? Do you have it stored somewhere in the warehouse of the Tower or what?」「What are you saying? I have it with me here...」 As she was speaking, Mira paused for a moment to try and retrieve some money. She tried to take out Rils but nothing came out. Incidentally, Ril was the unit of currency in this world. 「Ah, have you noticed? Now take a guess why that happened.」 Solomon showed her a mischievous smile. Mira shivered at the thought. As she hurriedly tried to check her balance in the menu, the number that’d indicate so vanished without trace. 「Where did all my money go?」「It’s the same as the floating continent, probably swallowed by the waves of the digital world. A majority of players believe that money, unlike items, wasn’t actually in the inventory, so it was categorized as something completely different. As it was managed by the game system but it ceased when this stopped being a game, it took with it everything inherently tied with it. That’s the most plausible and believable reason.」「What....My 200 million...」「You stashed quite a lot on yourself huh...

Use it sparingly. You’re good at that, right?」 There were several different coins in the pouch. One gold coin, 3 mithril coins, 3 silver coins, 4 cobalt coins, and 10 copper ones. A gold coin was equal to 50,000 Rils, mithril to 10,000, silver to 5,000, cobalt to 1,000, and copper to 100 Rils. !100,000... Just a mere 100,000...」</s>

The stones flies like a bullet through the air______ And hole the size of the stone appeared in it’s stomach. Looks like I successfully canceled it’s chant. Why didn’t I ue magic, it’s because I felt that I wouldn’t make it. 「Now! Ruin! Orgo!」「「!?」」 They were shocked for a moment, but immediately prepared their attack and magic. 「Well done Alim! Sword・of Eeeaaaarth!」「Again, for Lilo......! Sword・of Liiiight!」 They combined their swords. Orgo’s sword glowed orange. As he swung his sword, he charged at the demon, compared to last time, this time his power is immeasurable. Ruin’s sword is wrapped up in a white light. With his incredible speed, the demon received Orgo’s attack,while it was trying to get up, Ruin slashed at it. These are entirely different people. They must have used a ton of MP, but they are getting better at it. Orgo’s attack is heavy, while Riun relies on agility. So they kept up the pattern. They stopped attacking for a moment, Orgo launched an Earth Ball, Ruin chanted with his Light Emission. The Ash Dog collapsed. As I saw it collapse, I immediately ran towards Muri and Lilo. 「Muri! Lilo!?」「It’s....okay.....I’m just... tired... of healing.」 Her MP seems to be at . Lilo is still wavering. 「We....did it?」「Ah.」「「Yeeeeeaaaaah!!」」 They are feeling relieved for defeating such a strong enemy. The village people came and started cheering for them. 「Thank you...Thank You...」「Now, Carry them to the medical hut!」「You defeated..such a thing!」「You guys are the heroes of the village!」 Voices of gratitude flooded them. Gizefu and Gerbera were also there looking concerned. Orgo and Ruin headed over here.</s>

You did well to come out uninjured!」「I recall that is the subspace that seals the power of Artifacts, right? Miss Inglis is right, you did great to escape there unharmed!」「I don’t really understand it myself......Somehow, my sword became weird, so...it’s much sharper than usual, and its shape even changed......」 Leone pointed to the tip of her sword and, sure enough, the shape was intricate, like a dragon’s claw. 「Mn......is that?」「Not to mention, when I swung it down as hard as I could, a Phantom Dragon came out of it...」「EEeeehh?! How could that happen?!」「I see, Vufailbane’s Dragon Roar must have dwelled in your sword, that must be also why the shape of your sword changed. Dragon Roar is a different kind of power from Mana that Artifacts use, that power couldn’t be sealed since 『Mana Sealing Cage』 has no effect on it.」「A dragon’s power, Dragon Roar? How did it get into my sword?」「You cut a lot of dragon meat, didn’t you? In a manner of speaking, that means you cut down a lot of dragons, which must be why its power dwells in your sword.」 Leone used this sword as a meat cleaver and spent hours every day cutting Vufailbane’s meat. It was simple and hard labor, but it was a necessary job to deliver the meat to the surrounding settlements. A hard work that benefited the people. With how earnest Leone was, she would never cut corners on this work, and she continued to do it without as much as a complaint even though she was drenched in sweat every day. Could this result be considered a reward for Leone’s hard work? 「...Is that how it is?」「......So it seems. Well, this is the first time I’ve seen it too, though.」 In Inglis’ case, the power of the Dragon Roar was placed within her body, and perhaps the same applied to Lahti, but in Leone’s case, it seemed like it was placed not in her body but her black greatsword Artifact. If a god or a goddess put his or her power in a person, that person became a Divine Knight, and if a Divine Knight put that power in a sword, that sword became a Holy Sword. And then, it was said that a sword that slew a god became a Demon Sword or an Evil Sword. Dragons might be similar in comparison. In the end, dragons were beings close to gods. 「......It saved our lives, so I won’t complain. I should be grateful.」「Yup yup. Getting stronger is good, right? Use it the next time we train together, okay? I want to experience it myself! Okay? Okay?」「E-, eeh... Fine by me, but......Hahaha, don’t get too excited, you.」「P-, putting that aside!

We’ve gathered it...” (Mitsuha) When I transitioned to Wolf Fang’s home base, there were many of them on the large training field. ......Bombs, shells, and Molotov cocktails. The safety of the bombs and shells have already been deactivated, so they were separated by type and spaced very widely apart. It would be a disaster if there was an accident. Some of these were transported by transition, with me accompanying them at the time of purchase. The safety devices were still functioning at that time, but it was too far away to buy something like this, so there were a lot of problems to transport it properly, you know. Like danger-wise, legal, expense-wise, time-wise, etc...... Some of them were apparently bought from a mercenary organization familiar to Wolf Fang. I heard that an artillery shell was defined as one with a caliber of mm or more, but that would be insufficiently powerful unless it was fired from a large caliber gun. It’s a bit difficult to use this. So what we have here was about inches ( mm) in caliber. It would be nice if we had something with a caliber of inches (38 centimeters), which was equivalent to the main gun of a battleship, but I don’t think we can get such a thing, so it’s not an option. There are no big bombs, like 400 or 500 kilograms. Only small ones, about 40 – 50 kilograms. Well, they don’t sell bombs that big, do they? Unless it’s old man McCoy...... Besides, the bombs and shells prepared this time were all old and cheap. Wolf Fang has no access to the latest weapons and expensive special ammunition from advanced countries, and most of what it gets were diverted from civil wars, religious conflicts, and other conflicts...... I heard that some of those were also bought from international arms dealers, but they don’t really deal in 15-inch shells and 500 kg bombs either...... Well, I didn’t have much time. “We didn’t get bunker busters, fuel vaporization bombs, napalm bombs, big bombs or large-caliber shells, or anything like that. ... or rather, I didn’t expect to get such things from the beginning. That’s why we got a lot of Molotov cocktails. It’s made by us. When you want to use them, just light them up with torches. ......Now, are you sure you don’t need help?...” (Captain) “Yeah, I don’t need it. I’ll do it alone this time.” (Mitsuha) “............” I guess that’s half of your concern when you said that, right, Captain? And I guess the other half was that you just want to go back to the other world, wasn’t it? That’s okay, but I’ll do it alone this time.

Everything that we interact with, all the experiences that we have, is kind of us flowing through a sea of information and interacting with it in different ways. The Web puts information in the form of text and images. The topology, the geography of the Web is text-to-text links for the most part. That's one way of organizing information, but there are two things about the way you access information in a virtual world that I think are the important ways that they're very different and much better than what we've been able to do to date with the Web. The first is that, as I said, the -- well, the first difference for virtual worlds is that information is presented to you in the virtual world using the most powerful iconic symbols that you can possibly use with human beings. So for example, C-H-A-I-R is the English word for that, but a picture of this is a universal symbol. Everybody knows what it means. There's no need to translate it. It's also more memorable if I show you that picture, and I show you C-H-A-I-R on a piece of paper. You can do tests that show that you'll remember that I was talking about a chair a couple of days later a lot better. So when you organize information using the symbols of our memory, using the most common symbols that we've been immersed in all our lives, you maximally both excite, stimulate, are able to remember, transfer and manipulate data. And so virtual worlds are the best way for us to essentially organize and experience information. And I think that's something that people have talked about for 20 years -- you know, that 3D, that lifelike environments are really important in some magical way to us. But the second thing -- and I think this one is less obvious -- is that the experience of creating, consuming, exploring that information is in the virtual world implicitly and inherently social. You are always there with other people. And we as humans are social creatures and must, or are aided by, or enjoy more, the consumption of information in the presence of others. It's essential to us. You can't escape it. When you're on Amazon.com and you're looking for digital cameras or whatever, you're on there right now, when you're on the site, with like 5,000 other people, but you can't talk to them. You can't just turn to the people that are browsing digital cameras on the same page as you, and ask them, "Hey, have you seen one of these before? Because I'm thinking about buying it." That experience of like, shopping together, just as a simple example, is an example of how as social creatures we want to experience information in that way.</s>

But maybe you don't have to do it alone. Maybe you can do it together with other countries. The solution is open source. By building together open, free, secure systems, we can go around such surveillance, and then one country doesn't have to solve the problem by itself. It only has to solve one little problem. And to quote a fellow security researcher, Haroon Meer, one country only has to make a small wave, but those small waves together become a tide, and the tide will lift all the boats up at the same time, and the tide we will build with secure, free, open-source systems, will become the tide that will lift all of us up and above the surveillance state.

But where do you even start when an entire nation's ideology, my students' day-to-day realities, and even my own position at the universities, were all built on lies? I started with a game. We played "Truth and Lie." A volunteer would write a sentence on the chalkboard, and the other students had to guess whether it was a truth or a lie. Once a student wrote, "I visited China last year on vacation," and everyone shouted, "Lie!" They all knew this wasn't possible. Virtually no North Korean is allowed to leave the country. Even traveling within their own country requires a travel pass. I had hoped that this game would reveal some truth about my students, because they lie so often and so easily, whether about the mythical accomplishments of their Great Leader, or the strange claim that they cloned a rabbit as fifth graders. The difference between truth and lies seemed at times hazy to them. It took me a while to understand the different types of lies; they lie to shield their system from the world, or they were taught lies, and were just regurgitating them. Or, at moments, they lied out of habit. But if all they have ever known were lies, how could we expect them to be otherwise? Next, I tried to teach them essay writing. But that turned out to be nearly impossible. Essays are about coming up with one's own thesis, and making an evidence-based argument to prove it. These students, however, were simply told what to think, and they obeyed. In their world, critical thinking was not allowed. I also gave them the weekly assignment of writing a personal letter, to anybody. It took a long time, but eventually some of them began to write to their mothers, their friends, their girlfriends. Although those were just homework, and would never reach their intended recipients, my students slowly began to reveal their true feelings in them. They wrote that they were fed up with the sameness of everything. They were worried about their future. In those letters, they rarely ever mentioned their Great Leader. I was spending all of my time with these young men. We all ate meals together, played basketball together. I often called them gentlemen, which made them giggle. They blushed at the mention of girls. And I came to adore them. And watching them open up even in the tiniest of ways, was deeply moving. But something also felt wrong. During those months of living in their world, I often wondered if the truth would, in fact, improve their lives.</s>

But only the biggest one there seems to be a passenger boat. It has luxurious decorations on it...” The ships in this graveyard didn’t have cannons located at the starboard side like those battleship (sail-type) on earth. Even so, Hajime was able to conclude they were battleships because there were marks of fierce battle on all of the ships. From the appearance of the ships, they seemed to have received magic attacks. Some have their masts cleanly cut, burnt, carbonized decks, and petrified ropes and nets. They didn’t have any cannon, so they used long-ranged magic to defeat the enemies which was a battle method imaginable from the marks remained. Then, Hajime’s guess was proven to be a fact when he and Kaori were halfway through the ship’s graveyard. — UoOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! — WAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! “Hajime-kun! The surroundings are—!” When they felt they heard shout of many men all of a sudden, the surroundings scenery began to distort. Hajime and Kaori stopped walking from the surprise and they observed the surroundings to observe what was happening. The surrounding distortion became even more intense and before they were aware of it, Hajime and Kaori were already on a ship’s deck, above the vast ocean. Following that, they looked at their surroundings, it was not the ship’s graveyard, but hundreds of sailing ships divided into two groups, confronting each other. Above the ships were people raising their weapons while shouting. “Ha-Ha-Hajime-kun? Am I currently inside a dream? Hajime-kun, you are here, right? Right?” Both Hajime and Kaori were taken aback, but they somehow managed to get out of their confusion, however, they weren’t able to look at their surroundings. While they did so, a big spark rose into the sky, generating firework-like loud voices followed by the hundreds of ships moving out simultaneously. The fleet on the side of the ship Hajime and Kaori rode on also moved out after the firework rose. And when the ships approached a certain distance, they used the momentum to ram the other ships used its bodies, while magic were also fired. GOoOOOOOOOO!! DOoGAaAAAN!! DOBAaAAAA!!! “Owh!?” “Kyaa!” Flame bullets fired accompanied by roaring sounds and created holes in the ships’ bodies. Huge tornadoes advanced aiming at the masts. The sea’s surface froze, stopping the ships. And bullets of gray-colored sphere instantly petrified everything.</s>

This is yet another thing that makes modern parenting so very confounding. We have no clue what portion our wisdom, if any, is of use to our kids. The world is changing so rapidly, it's impossible to say. This was true even when I was young. When I was a kid, high school specifically, I was told that I would be at sea in the new global economy if I did not know Japanese. And with all due respect to the Japanese, it didn't turn out that way. Now there is a certain kind of middle-class parent that is obsessed with teaching their kids Mandarin, and maybe they're onto something, but we cannot know for sure. So, absent being able to anticipate the future, what we all do, as good parents, is try and prepare our kids for every possible kind of future, hoping that just one of our efforts will pay off. We teach our kids chess, thinking maybe they will need analytical skills. We sign them up for team sports, thinking maybe they will need collaborative skills, you know, for when they go to Harvard Business School. We try and teach them to be financially savvy and science-minded and eco-friendly and gluten-free, though now is probably a good time to tell you that I was not eco-friendly and gluten-free as a child. I ate jars of pureed macaroni and beef. And you know what? I'm doing okay. I pay my taxes. I hold down a steady job. I was even invited to speak at TED. But the presumption now is that what was good enough for me, or for my folks for that matter, isn't good enough anymore. So we all make a mad dash to that bookshelf, because we feel like if we aren't trying everything, it's as if we're doing nothing and we're defaulting on our obligations to our kids. So it's hard enough to navigate our new roles as mothers and fathers. Now add to this problem something else: we are also navigating new roles as husbands and wives because most women today are in the workforce. This is another reason, I think, that parenthood feels like a crisis. We have no rules, no scripts, no norms for what to do when a child comes along now that both mom and dad are breadwinners. The writer Michael Lewis once put this very, very well. He said that the surest way for a couple to start fighting is for them to go out to dinner with another couple whose division of labor is ever so slightly different from theirs, because the conversation in the car on the way home goes something like this: "So, did you catch that Dave is the one who walks them to school every morning?"</s>

The Euromaidan protests began peacefully at the end of 2013, after the president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, rejected a far-reaching accord with the European Union in favor of stronger ties with Russia. In response, tens of thousands of dissatisfied citizens poured into central Kiev to demonstrate against this allegiance. As the months passed, confrontations between police and civilians intensified. I set up a makeshift portrait studio by the barricades on Hrushevsky Street. There, I photographed the fighters against a black curtain, a curtain that obscured the highly seductive and visual backdrop of fire, ice and smoke. In order to tell the individual human stories here, I felt that I needed to remove the dramatic visuals that had become so familiar and repetitive within the mainstream media. What I was witnessing was not only news, but also history. With this realization, I was free from the photojournalistic conventions of the newspaper and the magazine. Oleg, Vasiliy and Maxim were all ordinary men, with ordinary lives from ordinary towns. But the elaborate costumes that they had bedecked themselves in were quite extraordinary. I say the word "costume" because these were not clothes that had been issued or coordinated by anyone. They were improvised uniforms made up of decommissioned military equipment, irregular combat fatigues and trophies taken from the police. I became interested in the way they were choosing to represent themselves, this outward expression of masculinity, the ideal of the warrior. I worked slowly, using an analog film camera with a manual focusing loop and a handheld light meter. The process is old-fashioned. It gives me time to speak with each person and to look at them, in silence, while they look back at me. Rising tensions culminated in the worst day of violence on February 20, which became known as Bloody Thursday. Snipers, loyal to the government, started firing on the civilians and protesters on Institutskaya Street. Many were killed in a very short space of time. The reception of the Hotel Ukraine became a makeshift morgue. There were lines of bodies laid in the street. And there was blood all over the pavements. The following day, President Yanukovych fled Ukraine. In all, three months of protests resulted in more than 120 confirmed dead and many more missing. History unfolded quickly, but celebration remained elusive in Maidan. As the days passed in Kiev's central square, streams of armed fighters were joined by tens of thousands of ordinary people, filling the streets in an act of collective mourning.</s>

I’ll try going in, but you two stay on guard at the door.” “Got it!” If they entered with me, it could become a confined battle. There didn’t seem to be anyone there, but it was better to be safe in the off-chance. I opened the door and walked inside while erasing my footsteps. It was quite messy inside, but not to the level where you’d think something happened. It was more or less what an average all-male house would be like. I felt a bit relieved to find out that he didn’t seem to have collapsed due to an illness. “There’s no one here.” I called out to the two that were staying alert at the door and started investigating the room. The windows were closed so the inside was dark. They didn’t have enough luxury to have glass windows it seems. Though, if you gave glass windows to a hut, that’d stand out like a sore thumb. “Kabby, please.” Heeding my request, the Carbuncle lit up the room with Light magic. This magic simply produced light, so it wasn’t part of the interference system, and as such I couldn’t use it. Minimal bedding, tableware, firewood and cooking range. Behind the hut was the storage shed, well and stable. There were no writings anywhere in the hut, so the owner probably didn’t know how to read and write. Even the book I seized was just a picture book. “Hmm...” “If he can’t read, maybe he didn’t realize that we were arriving today?” “That can’t be.” Letina arrived at the same conclusion after seeing the room and made a hypothesis. But I immediately denied it. There was a coarse clay tablet in the room, and it had several X marks carved on it. Perhaps he used it to count the days. “If he used this as a calendar, he should’ve been able to predict the day of our arrival. Rather, he probably remembered it better than us since he looks at it every day. “Ah, I see.” Letina obediently nodded to my explanation and returned back to inspecting the room. But at that moment, I noticed a presence that was approaching the hut.</s>

After that, I added a Permanence spell. Now no one would be able to enter easily. It should be good enough to last until tomorrow, which was when I would do the serious construction work. And with that done, we returned down the secret passage. We walked quickly, as it was a path we had already been through once before. We arrived at the spot with the broken wall that led to the sewers in no time. “Now, to plug this hole.” “But how are you going to do it?” I passed Gerberga over to Luchila. “For now, we will stack up some rocks and create a physical barrier. After that, I’ll strengthen it with magic.” “With the rocks that are right here? Some of them are crushed...” Milka said in a worried voice. “That’s not great. But we will be doing it again tomorrow anyway. This is just temporary.” “It is so no one else enters through here, isn’t it?” “That’s what it is.” It was one thing to have people invade my house, but it would be a disaster to have them invade the palace. “Leave it to me! I will stack the rocks.” “Ah, thank you.” “I will help too.” Milka began to pick up the rocks. I did too. Luchila also put Gerberga on the ground and began to help. Gerberga began to wander around. After a while, the hole was sealed. “There are still some cracks.” “Yes. It can’t be helped, since some of it was chipped when the wall broke.” And so I put dirt between the cracks in the rocks. After that, I held it together with Hardening magic. I really wanted to use magic on the entire tunnel, but it would have to wait. “Now, let’s return.” “Yes.” And so we returned to the basement. When we got there, Milka said, “Well, see you tomorrow then. Let me know if there is any work.” “Milka, what are you saying?” Apparently, Milka intended to sleep in the basement. She had snuck into the basement in order to sleep in the first place. That’s why she misunderstood me. “I-I can’t? Do I have to sleep outside then?” “No, there is no bedding here. You should sleep in a proper room.” “Do you mean it?” “Of course. You are my apprentice now, after all.” “Thank you!” And so Milka came up with us to the first floor. I told her where the bathroom was before heading to the second floor. “I wish I could have you choose a room out of the empty ones. But it’s night right now, and there are guests, so it will have to wait.” “No way.

There were no deep wounds, but there were small scars all over her body. Even though they wouldn’t be completely healed, low-grade healing magic would have at least been able to control the bleeding and pain. The top priority now was to get her back to her normal physical condition. To be fully prepared. For her ninth and final match――the fight against Leidyrune. ◇ ◆ ◇ “Excuse me.” The healing room was filled with injured people. It seemed that on this day, the healing room had turned into a busy place like a battlefield. Despite Claushezade’s warning, there were still several seriously injured people. Sheila thought that they might have been seriously injured intentionally, but such worries disappeared in an instant. Because among those few people, she found the dormitory leader with a carefree face. “Even though it’s a notable injury, what are you grinning at?” Axe had a broken left arm and leg, and his head was also bandaged. Since he was in good health compared to the other seriously injured, he was probably given only first aid and left alone. “You’re badly hurt, did you win?” “Well, I lost. But it’s nice. Fighting someone stronger than you always make your blood boil! Right, guys?!” The seriously injured people lying on their beds pumped their fists in response. They weren’t at all sad, as if they were Axe’s fellow brainiacs. “I’m amazed. I was worried about you....” Axe turned around at Sheila’s blabbering, which was meant to be a monologue. His eyes were filled with an uncharacteristically serious light. “I’m the one who should be worried. You’ve got a matchup with Leidyrune coming up. Are you going to be okay?” It was said that Leidyrune had more magical power than Axe. It was beyond dangerous and reckless for Sheila, who had no magic power, to go up against such an opponent. “――It’s natural to lose, but going against the expectation of everyone else is the fun of the match, isn’t it?” Sheila smiled belligerently, gratefully accepting the concern. Axe’s eyes brighten at once. “Oh! We’re indeed of the same mind! Sheila, you must join our Muscle League!” “I don’t want to be lumped in with the dormitory leader. And anyway, I’ve never heard of such a league....” She was curious, but instinct told her that she shouldn’t cross that line. Sheila politely declined. Axe’s persistent persuasion took up so much time that she was almost late for the match. She hurried to the venue. But it was a nice change of pace. Talking to the dormitory leader helped me relax my shoulders. Muscle League. That might be kind of nice.</s>

Inside the tent, they could leisurely chat because the mind-severing stone was activate, which made it so that demonic beasts do not approach them. Although sometimes there were demonic beasts that came near, Hajime only needed to stick his hand out the window that installed, and shoot it. Moreover, when time for sleep, the three rotated the lookout duty until morning came. Today, it was about time for Yue and Shia to start preparing to sleep. The first on look out was Hajime. Because there were fluffy futons inside the tent, they could sleep comfortably despite it being a camp. Also, Shia went outside the tent before getting into the futon. To Hajime who was dubious of what happened, Shia said with a calm face. “For a while, I wanted to pick flowers” “There are no flowers inside the ravine, you know?” “Ha-ji-me-sa~n!” Hajime’s words that lacked delicacy destroyed Shia’s calm face, she angrily stared at him. Hajime who obviously knew what those words meant said, “My bad my bad”, with a wryly smiling face that didn’t show any remorse. Shia hurriedly went to the tent’s side in anger, after a while... “Ha-Hajime-sa~n! Yue-sa~n! It’s an emergency! Please come he~re!” Was what Shia shouted out, forgetting the possibility of demonic beasts hearing it. Wondering what happened, Hajime and Yue, who came from the tent, looked at each other then dashed out at the same time. When they arrived at the origin of Shia’s voice, they saw that there was a huge monolith that leaned on the ravine’s wall after it fell, and a space was revealed between the monolith and the wall. Shia was inside that space seeing something unbelievable! Being colored in excitement all the while. “Here, over here! I found it!” “I understand, for the time being get out of there.

Lost in thought, he had taken a long soak in the bath. Although he had tried to cool down by plunging into the cold water, his face and body retained some heat. Feeling the cool night breeze, he felt like taking a walk. Several ropes were strung between the buildings, where lanterns, decorative cloth, and occasionally laundry were hung. The street was not particularly wide, but stalls were crammed together, with non-stall vendors spreading their wares and merchandise on the ground. The constant smells of meat and fish being grilled and the smoke mixed with various dried goods, vegetables, fruit, and other items piled up in crates made it hard to choose. The items for sale were not much different from those sold during the day, except for the increase in the number of stalls selling alcohol at night. Large wooden barrels of sake were placed here and there, constantly being poured and handed to customers. While some people walked and drank, others sat on the edges of the street or gathered for drinks on chairs or tables that had been pulled out of somewhere. When Mitrof saw this sight for the first time, he thought it was a holiday, but now it was a completely familiar sight. This place was a festive place every night. People drank, ate meat, and sometimes danced and sang. The brightness of such a lifestyle was like wealth, but it also seemed like a way to escape the anxiety that crept up behind them. The labyrinth made the city rich. Its products became trade goods, materials for manufacturing, and food. The labyrinth gave birth to resources, producing work and money. While the city has been getting richer year by year, excessive changes have also become a source of distortion and inequality. Mitrof’s gaze fell on a narrow path between the buildings, where he saw emaciated (skinny) children. Men holding alcohol and meat skewers passed by, oblivious to their presence. When a city is enriched by the discovery of a labyrinth, people are drawn to its light like moths. Eventually, the city becomes a melting pot, where light and shadow, wealth and poverty, happiness and misfortune are all mixed together. Mitrof’s eyes met the children’s. They stared back at him with dark, cruel eyes. Unable to grasp their gaze, Mitrof turned his head abruptly forward. Mitrof was born into nobility. He never had to worry about his home or food, and he never had any trouble learning. Even worrying about his own way of life was probably a luxury for him. Now he was an adventurer, and his life was no longer peaceful, but the experiences he acquired from living as a noble supported the foundation of his current lifestyle. He learned how to handle a sword, allowing him to fight monsters.</s>

But never mind that. It was when I was at that store...” “Hah... You better not do something like that ever again... And then?” “Yes, I know! ...And then these armored soldiers came out from the back of the store in order to suppress us. ...Just like that one...” Nick said as he pointed at Nicholas. He was wearing iron armor, had a sword on his belt, and also wore a helmet. It was very obvious that he was a soldier. If these men looked the same, then they were likely soldiers as well. “And then what did you do?” “Me and the others tried to fight them, but then this man, who I assumed was the owner, came out as well... And then he said this. ‘We’re here doing business with the approval of a noble house. What you are doing is a bold attack on their house.” “Hmm... In other words, he was threatening you, saying that there would be retribution from the nobles?” “Yes. We didn’t want to get caught when we heard that, so we ran from the place.” However, was it really true that they were backed by a noble house...? I didn’t know if noble houses would involve themselves in such lowly business practices, so I could not say. I would have to talk about it with Sebastian later. “Thank you for telling me. And you must never do that again.” “Of course, I won’t do it. I’m going to do my best to be useful to you!” Nick was already acting like he was my sworn younger brother, but to me he was just a subordinate. Though, I did hope that he would work hard. “Mr. Takumi. What were you talking about?” “Ah, Ms. Claire. The thing is, Nick...” I had gone back over to Leo after I finished talking with Nick, and Ms. Claire wanted to know what we had been talking about. But just as I was answering, Sebastian ended his conversation with Mr. Kalis and started walking this way. That was good. I wanted him to hear this as well. “Hmm...nobles involved with the sales of inferior herbs...” “Mmm...this might get very complicated...” Upon hearing what I had said, Sebastian and Ms. Claire groaned and were deep in thought. If this involved other nobles, then merely punishing the sellers would not be enough to put the matter to rest. I didn’t know much about the world of aristocrats, but when it came to the relationships of powerful people, they would usually develop into complex problems. “In any case, I will have to report this to His Grace.” “Yes... Sebastian. Father wouldn’t have arrived at the house yet, would he?” “Indeed. From the mansion to the main house...he has probably not even reached the halfway point yet.”</s>

I love doing this work, because it really gives many people new hope and new choices that they didn’t have before, and it allows us to talk about things that -- not just diet, but that happiness is not -- we're talking about the pursuit of happiness, but when you really look at all the spiritual traditions, what Aldous Huxley called the "perennial wisdom," when you get past the named and forms and rituals that really divide people, it’s really about -- our nature is to be happy; our nature is to be peaceful, our nature is to be healthy. And so it’s not something -- happiness is not something you get, health is generally not something that you get. you know, the ancient swamis and rabbis and priests and monks and nuns didn’t develop these techniques to just manage stress or lower your blood pressure, unclog your arteries, even though it can do all those things. They’re powerful tools for transformation, to allow us to experience what it feels like to be happy, to be peaceful, to be joyful and to realize that it’s not something that you pursue and get, but rather it’s something that you have already until you disturb it. I studied yoga for many years with a teacher named Swami Satchidananda and people would say, "What are you, a Hindu?" He’d say, "No, I’m an undo." And it’s really about identifying what’s causing us to disturb our innate health and happiness, and then to allow that natural healing to occur. To me, that’s the real natural wonder. So, within that larger context, we can talk about diet, stress management -- which are really these spiritual practices -- moderate exercise, smoking cessation, support groups and community -- which I’ll talk more about -- and some vitamins and supplements. And it’s not a diet. You know, when most people think about the diet I recommend, they think it’s a really strict diet. For reversing disease, that’s what it takes, but if you’re just trying to be healthy, you have a spectrum of choices. And to the degree that you can move in a healthy direction, you’re going to live longer, you’re going to feel better, you’re going to lose weight, and so on. And in our studies, what we’ve been able to do is to use very expensive, high-tech, state-of-the-art measures to prove how powerful these very simple and low-tech and low-cost -- and in many ways, ancient -- interventions, can be.</s>

So, you can't see the black hole itself, but you can convert the gravitational energy of the black hole into the light we see. So, there is the thought that maybe supermassive black holes exist at the center of galaxies. But it's a kind of indirect argument. Nonetheless, it's given rise to the notion that maybe it's not just these prima donnas that have these supermassive black holes, but rather all galaxies might harbor these supermassive black holes at their centers. And if that's the case -- and this is an example of a normal galaxy; what we see is the star light. And if there is a supermassive black hole, what we need to assume is that it's a black hole on a diet. Because that is the way to suppress the energetic phenomena that we see in active galactic nuclei. If we're going to look for these stealth black holes at the center of galaxies, the best place to look is in our own galaxy, our Milky Way. And this is a wide field picture taken of the center of the Milky Way. And what we see is a line of stars. And that is because we live in a galaxy which has a flattened, disk-like structure. And we live in the middle of it, so when we look towards the center, we see this plane which defines the plane of the galaxy, or line that defines the plane of the galaxy. Now, the advantage of studying our own galaxy is it's simply the closest example of the center of a galaxy that we're ever going to have, because the next closest galaxy is 100 times further away. So, we can see far more detail in our galaxy than anyplace else. And as you'll see in a moment, the ability to see detail is key to this experiment. So, how do astronomers prove that there is a lot of mass inside a small volume? Which is the job that I have to show you today. And the tool that we use is to watch the way stars orbit the black hole. Stars will orbit the black hole in the very same way that planets orbit the sun. It's the gravitational pull that makes these things orbit. If there were no massive objects these things would go flying off, or at least go at a much slower rate because all that determines how they go around is how much mass is inside its orbit. So, this is great, because remember my job is to show there is a lot of mass inside a small volume. So, if I know how fast it goes around, I know the mass. And if I know the scale of the orbit I know the radius. So, I want to see the stars that are as close to the center of the galaxy as possible. Because I want to show there is a mass inside as small a region as possible. So, this means that I want to see a lot of detail. And that's the reason that for this experiment we've used the world's largest telescope.</s>

He didn’t know what I was talking about and furrowed his brow. “Do you want me to keep our trash in the dumpster? Have you not noticed that the trash is overflowing?” “Gilles, leave it at that. My father was just following my grandmother’s lead.” Duke said this to me in a low voice so that no one could hear. “What grandmother?” The concubine? I was about to say, and stopped.

They knew the old king and queen had died, but there was no information that the concubine had also died. And it was never mentioned that she was still alive. “I’ll tell you more later.” I obeyed Duke and closed my mouth. “Let’s back up a little. We’re not going to war. But you never know what the world has in store for you. It’s only natural to be prepared for it. A country full of weak soldiers would be finished if attacked. We should strengthen our armed forces.” Everyone’s expressions changed with his words. Their hearts were stirring. Perhaps it may be the prince who could break the spell of Liz Cather’s charm. ...I wonder if that was possible. “War is not good, but preparing for war brings development. This will help me to develop this country.” His eyes do not reflect those of a prince in paradise, but rather those of a strategist thinking about the future of his country. Everyone is riveted and mesmerized by those glowing and powerful eyes of Duke. “That ambition can lead to conflict, which can lead to ruin.” – Liz “Then we only need to stop it by focusing on diplomacy.” Duke directed a sharp glare at Liz Cather and she shuddered. ...She’s got a lot of nerve to look at me like this and still like Duke. “Your Majesty, your single decision can kill or save many people. ...Please don’t make the mistake of using that power in the wrong way.” Shifting his gaze to the king, he just says that and turns to leave. Oh, we’re leaving already? I trotted after him. Duke and I had different pace, so I’d have plenty of time to think about life as I caught up to him. Just as we were about to leave, I heard the King’s voice from behind me. “When did I make a mistake?” Duke stopped and looked back at the king. I could feel the air becoming tense.</s>

It was once used to completely crush all golems that the liberator manipulated, turned huge crowds of demons into a sea of blood, the fangs of the monster which offsetted even the silver feathers of death which [God’s Apostle] shot out. That kind of thing was released, there was no way the puppet soldiers would be able to withstand it. The electrically charged bullets weren’t lukewarm enough to just be said to have shot just one person, it went and broke through all obstacles, while blowing away the plaza wall as if it were just paper trash, with Hajime as the center, everything was being cut down. The puppet soldiers bodies were crushed, reduced into lumps of flesh which scattered around and could not be distinguished at all. Before long, Metsurai’s roaring stopped and once again footsteps echoed in the silent plaza. Everyone who was laying down on the ground was motionless. Naturally, the one who was walking after the attack which mowed down everything in its path was Hajime. Everyone else was similarly desperately lowering their heads until the storm passed by, the tip of shoes appeared in front of Eri’s eyes. Eri slowly raised her face. She glanced up at the owner of the shoes, what she saw there was a pair of eyes which looked at her as if she was just a pebble on the roadside without value. Hajime no longer carried Metsurai in his hands. He was simply standing above Eri and looking down on her. Eri couldn’t say anything and only returned the gaze with an aghast expression, then Hajime slowly began to open his mouth. “And?” Hajime had no further information on what Eri had done. He just simply understood that she was an enemy. If it was simply an enemy then all he had to do was mercilessly murder it and everything would end. However, Eri had touched something which she should have never touched. It was already at the point where just killing her wasn’t enough anymore. Before she died, she needs to feel “despair”...... That’s why Hajime asked her a question. What else can you do? You can’t do anything huh? Eri accurately understood what he meant and began to tightly grit her teeth. The edge of her lip had a cut and blood was dripping down. Up until now she was the owner of this place, she should have been in the position with an overwhelming advantage, however, in an instant Hajime had unreasonably overturned that which caused her to hold hatred and awe. The moment that Eri was about to unintentionally curse out passionately at him, the muzzle of a gun was suddenly pushed against her forehead. “........Whatever your motive was, I have no intentions of hearing any of those worthless things. If you’ve got nothing left to show then.....die”</s>

What I meant by this, was that recently, I had taken to riding on clouds while thinking. Even now, I was lying down on a cloud and staring up at the sky. And before I knew it, I would drift off somewhere. Right now, I was to the north. There were harsh mountain ranges, and there were volcanic mountains that were active here. Hot air would blow when they erupted, so I would probably be pushed back to the south if I stayed still. So I could return to the first town without doing anything... “Still, it really is hot. This wind... I feel like I’m going to burn up... Hmm...? Burn...?” If my heart won’t burn, then maybe I should go to a place that is burning...? At the very least, I should be able to experience a heated adventure! Though, my heart might not be the only thing that burns... “Windcloud Blast! Push the wind against the current!” The cloud I was currently on was a natural cloud, not one made with Floating Windcloud Herd. And so it did not disappear in five minutes, but the wind could easily cause it to change shape. But now, it was best to go on a cloud I was used to riding. “Windcloud Herd! Now, let’s go to the volcano!” “Gar! Gar!” And so on a whim, Garbow and I went towards the mountain. It was the beginning of a new adventure...!</s>

I actually started first grade with a big cast all over my torso. It was taken off six weeks later, but even then, I couldn't extend my elbow, and I had to do physical therapy to flex and extend it, 100 times per day, seven days per week. I barely did it, because I found it boring and painful, and as a result, it took me another six weeks to get better. Many years later, my mom developed frozen shoulder, which leads to pain and stiffness in the shoulder. The person I believed for half of my life to have superpowers suddenly needed help to get dressed or to cut food. She went each week to physical therapy, but just like me, she barely followed the home treatment, and it took her over five months to feel better. Both my mom and I required physical therapy, a process of doing a suite of repetitive exercises in order to regain the range of movement lost due to an accident or injury. At first, a physical therapist works with patients, but then it's up to the patients to do their exercises at home. But patients find physical therapy boring, frustrating, confusing and lengthy before seeing results. Sadly, patient noncompliance can be as high as 70 percent. This means the majority of patients don't do their exercises and therefore take a lot longer to get better. All physical therapists agree that special exercises reduce the time needed for recovery, but patients lack the motivation to do them. So together with three friends, all of us software geeks, we asked ourselves, wouldn't it be interesting if patients could play their way to recovery? We started building MIRA, A P.C. software platform that uses this Kinect device, a motion capture camera, to transform traditional exercises into video games. My physical therapist has already set up a schedule for my particular therapy. Let's see how this looks. The first game asks me to fly a bee up and down to gather pollen to deposit in beehives, all while avoiding the other bugs. I control the bee by doing elbow extension and flexion, just like when I was seven years old after the cast was taken off. When designing a game, we speak to physical therapists at first to understand what movement patients need to do. We then make that a video game to give patients simple, motivating objectives to follow. But the software is very customizable, and physical therapists can also create their own exercises. Using the software, my physical therapist recorded herself performing a shoulder abduction, which is one of the movements my mom had to do when she had frozen shoulder.</s>

Sir Holzdeppe was very good at using scouts and unexpectedly, Neurath also seemed to have a talent for it, so I had Neurath stay at Sir Holzdeppe’s side as an assistant to learn from him. “One group is around here in these valleys, while the other group is moving toward this direction. The last group which refused to leave that hill is still there.” “Got it.” Even the people under my command had never seen a three-dimensional map, so they were surprised, but soon they all understood the advantage of using a three-dimensional map along with a usual map. I wondered if the use of three-dimensional maps would spread soon. If anything, I hope the use of contour maps also spread... Let’s focus on the bandit extermination first. I put a piece on the map and checked the terrain. The first group was in valleys, surrounded by hills. It seemed like they were thinking of quietly letting us pass rather than ambushing us. As for the other group, they seemed to be moving in the direction of the area that Baron Zabel was governing. The last group which refused to leave that hill was still there on that hill. “Let’s start with the first group which wanted to let us pass. Since that group was in valleys surrounded by hills, let the cavalry flank them from the sides while the infantry would attack them from this hill.” “Welner-sama... I heard the tactic used in the Hildea plain battle was something that you had thought.” “Ah, so even that kind of rumor has spread.” The knight who appeared to be Sir Holzdeppe’s lieutenant came to me and mentioned the Hildea plain battle. Come to think of it, that time I asked for the tactic to be submitted under Grand Duke Seyfart’s name, but I never asked him to keep the fact that I was the one who had suggested the tactic a secret. Still, Grand Duke wasn’t a blabbermouth, so I think the people who knew the truth would be few, most likely only influential nobles would know the truth... Did that mean Sir Holzdeppe was connected to an influential noble? Well, as long as Sir Holzdeppe did his job, I didn’t really care about that, though. “How about using that tactic again this time? Our opponents are just bandits, so exterminating them all will not be an issue.” “Do you really think that kind of tactic will always be successful!?” When I inadvertently scolded him like that, the lieutenant was stunned. Even in the history, when Hannibal’s younger brother tried to use the Battle of Cannae’s encircling tactic in another battle, he failed spectacularly. For that tactic to work, you needed to fulfill many conditions which included suitable terrain and a skilled commander who could perfectly move both flanks and make a quick yet precise judgment. To put it bluntly, His Highness, who was a skilled war commander, could pull it off, but there was no way I could do the same. I was just an ordinary person, so I would fight using the way of an ordinary person. “What should we do with the third bandits’ group on the hill?”</s>

I kept my eye on her after that, for I knew there was some devilry in the wind. I saw them from time to time, for I was anxious to know what they were after. Two days ago Woodley came up to my house with this cable, which showed that Ralph Smith was dead. He asked me if I would stand by the bargain. I said I would not. He asked me if I would marry the girl myself and give him a share. I said I would willingly do so, but that she would not have me. He said, I said I would have nothing to do with violence. So he went off cursing, like the foul-mouthed blackguard that he was, and swearing that he would have her yet. She was leaving me this week-end, and I had got a trap to take her to the station, but I was so uneasy in my mind that I followed her on my bicycle.

Well, the town wasn’t too far. I should be able to make it. “Ohh! A guest from the sky! How unusual! Hmm, but you are injured! Let me help you!” And so as I got closer, a kind NPC picked me up and carried me to an inn. While a beginner like me could hardly tell the difference, the NPCs in this game were supposed to be rather unimpressive. They had a very limited range of dialogue and actions. And so this NPC would have been programmed in advance to come and help wounded players. “Where am I?” “Where are you? Why, this is the ‘Hidden Windcloud Settlement’! It’s rather out of the way, but you’d be surprised at how comfortable life is here! There is even a way to descend from the Windcloud Mountain, and we actively trade with other towns.” You could have a proper conversation if they had answers to your questions. Otherwise, it was just short replies. Furthermore, you could not attack NPCs. In the first place, outside of parks, you couldn’t even use skills within a town. I heard that this included using your fists to attack people as well. In other words, it would be quite difficult to cause mischief. Though, I did hear about people looking underneath NPC’s skirts. This involved crawling on the floor and looking up. Obviously, such behavior was a good way to anger female players. Furthermore, management might intervene if you blocked people’s path as well. Most boys seemed to look when there was a D model in front of them. Perhaps it was some kind of instinct... In any case, this was not time to be thinking about that. I had learned that this town was called the ‘Hidden Windcloud Settlement’ and that the mountains were the Windcloud Mountains. The problem was getting back to the original town. As this was also a town, I could just make it my new base and go on adventures and participate in events from here. However, I was a little lonely... There were no other players here. And so I missed the lively town that I started in... In MMOs, it wasn’t just about parties, guilds, and friends. Part of the fun was in seeing the outfits of other players, listening to conversations, and other casual interactions. It reminded you that you weren’t alone in this world. I had learned that this was what made online games interesting. However, it was also exciting to go adventuring to places that were undiscovered. It was time to organize my thoughts. It was possible to fast travel between towns. In other words, warping. However, there were requirements that needed to be fulfilled in order for this ability to be unlocked.</s>

You know, 20 years before it was still, "Ask not what you can do," but with Reagan, it's, "that's where, there's Nancy and I," that kind of language. And so something we kind of knew, but you didn't actually notice syntactically what he was doing. I'll go very quickly. The question now -- and this is the really interesting question -- is, what kind of higher-level shape is emerging right now in the overall Web ecosystem -- and particularly in the ecosystem of the blogs because they are really kind of at the cutting edge. And I think what happens there will also happen in the wider system. Now there was a very interesting article by Clay Shirky that got a lot of attention about a month ago, and this is basically the distribution of links on the web to all these various different blogs. It follows a power law, so that there are a few extremely well-linked to, popular blogs, and a long tail of blogs with very few links. So 20 percent of the blogs get 80 percent of the links. Now this is a very interesting thing. It's caused a lot of controversy because people thought that this was the ultimate kind of one man, one modem democracy, where anybody can get out there and get their voice heard. And so the question is, "Why is this happening?" It's not being imposed by fiat from above. It's an emergent property of the blogosphere right now. Now, what's great about it is that people are working on -- within seconds of Clay publishing this piece, people started working on changing the underlying rules of the system so that a different shape would start appearing. And basically, the shape appears largely because of a kind of a first-mover advantage. if you're the first site there, everybody links to you. If you're the second site there, most people link to you. And so very quickly you can accumulate a bunch of links, and it makes it more likely for newcomers to link to you in the future, and then you get this kind of shape. And so what Dave Sifry at Technorati started working on, literally as Shirky started -- after he published his piece -- was something that basically just gave a new kind of priority to newcomers. And he started looking at interesting newcomers that don't have a lot of links, that suddenly get a bunch of links in the last 24 hours. So in a sense, bursty weblogs coming from new voices. So he's working on a tool right there that can actually change the overall system. And it creates a kind of planned emergence. You're not totally in control, but you're changing the underlying rules in interesting ways because you have an end result which is maybe a more democratic spread of voices.</s>

They are managed by the union departments in the closest cities, so feel free to go there when you need a permit to enter them. There are penalties for breaching the entry rules so please be careful. Lastly, subjugation missions require you to deliver the necessary number of soul stones in the request. If for any reason you were unable to deliver that amount, it will be counted as a failure even if you did complete it. Do you have any questions?」「A permit is required...」 Mira’s current goal was a dungeon and judging by the conversation, without a permit there would be a penalty. 「I wish to enter the underground cemetery after this...the Ancient Temple Nevrapolis, how can I get the permit?」「All of a sudden!? ...well, the reception desk to the furthest right from the entrance handles the dungeon management so you can get your authorization there.」 Slightly twisting her body, Mira looked over at the right side of the reception desks. While there were a lot of people around the central ones, the right side pertaining to the dungeon management was moderately empty. 「Also, the use of union facilities is basically free. Food, drinks, and other consumables are discounted. In the case that you damage the building or furniture, the repair costs will be deducted from your reward so please use them with care.」 Finished with the required explanations, Eureka pulled out a leather case with the same size as the card from her pocket. It was a very cute cardholder, designed in pink color with a wand and ribbons drawn on it. 「It is a present from me. Please use it for your Adventurer’s ID.」「Ye... yea. Thanks.」 Overwhelmed by the girly design, Mira couldn’t just refuse Eureka’s proof of goodwill, thus she meekly nodded. Seeing her actions being accepted to that point, Eureka, happy as none can be, quickly placed Mira’s ID inside the card case and happily handed it over with a blooming smile. Mira could only just accept it with a rather dry expression. 「The union chief also wants to give you something. As today he’s going to be busy preparing, he wants you to come back again tomorrow when you have some free time.」「Something to give me?」「Yes. I don’t know what is it but it seems to be an order from King Solomon.」「From him?... It doesn’t sound that good. Well, fine. I only have to come here tomorrow, right? 「Yes, please.」「Understood.」 Mira had no clue what she would receive from the union chief but considering it’s an order from Solomon, it’d probably be something related to the mission. 「With this, all formalities are finished. Moreover, only I and the union chief know about your situation, so if there’s something you need, feel free to ask me.」</s>

It's always the same three things, so let's explore that. Samuel Pierpont Langley was given 50,000 dollars by the War Department to figure out this flying machine. Money was no problem. He held a seat at Harvard and worked at the Smithsonian and was extremely well-connected; he knew all the big minds of the day. He hired the best minds money could find and the market conditions were fantastic. The New York Times followed him around everywhere, and everyone was rooting for Langley. Then how come we've never heard of Samuel Pierpont Langley? A few hundred miles away in Dayton Ohio, Orville and Wilbur Wright, they had none of what we consider to be the recipe for success. They had no money; they paid for their dream with the proceeds from their bicycle shop; not a single person on the Wright brothers' team had a college education, not even Orville or Wilbur; and The New York Times followed them around nowhere. The difference was, Orville and Wilbur were driven by a cause, by a purpose, by a belief. They believed that if they could figure out this flying machine, it'll change the course of the world. Samuel Pierpont Langley was different. He wanted to be rich, and he wanted to be famous. He was in pursuit of the result. He was in pursuit of the riches. And lo and behold, look what happened. The people who believed in the Wright brothers' dream worked with them with blood and sweat and tears. The others just worked for the paycheck. They tell stories of how every time the Wright brothers went out, they would have to take five sets of parts, because that's how many times they would crash before supper. And, eventually, on December 17th, 1903, the Wright brothers took flight, and no one was there to even experience it. We found out about it a few days later. And further proof that Langley was motivated by the wrong thing: The day the Wright brothers took flight, he quit. He could have said, "That's an amazing discovery, guys, and I will improve upon your technology," but he didn't. He wasn't first, he didn't get rich, he didn't get famous, so he quit. People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe. But why is it important to attract those who believe what you believe? Something called the law of diffusion of innovation, if you don't know the law, you know the terminology. The first 2.5% of our population are our innovators.</s>

And Nigeria, with the oil sector, had the reputation of being corrupt and not managing its own public finances well. So what did we try to do? We introduced a fiscal rule that de-linked our budget from the oil price. Before we used to just budget on whatever oil we bring in, because oil is the biggest, most revenue-earning sector in the economy: 70 percent of our revenues come from oil. We de-linked that, and once we did it, we began to budget at a price slightly lower than the oil price and save whatever was above that price. We didn't know we could pull it off; it was very controversial. But what it immediately did was that the volatility that had been present in terms of our economic development -- where, even if oil prices were high, we would grow very fast. When they crashed, we crashed. And we could hardly even pay anything, any salaries, in the economy. That smoothened out. We were able to save, just before I left, 27 billion dollars. Whereas -- and this went to our reserves -- when I arrived in 2003, we had seven billion dollars in reserves. By the time I left, we had gone up to almost 30 billion dollars. And as we speak now, we have about 40 billion dollars in reserves due to proper management of our finances. And that shores up our economy, makes it stable. Our exchange rate that used to fluctuate all the time is now fairly stable and being managed so that business people have a predictability of prices in the economy. We brought inflation down from 28 percent to about 11 percent. And we had GDP grow from an average of 2.3 percent the previous decade to about 6.5 percent now. So all the changes and reforms we were able to make have shown up in results that are measurable in the economy. And what is more important, because we want to get away from oil and diversify -- and there are so many opportunities in this one big country, as in many countries in Africa -- what was remarkable is that much of this growth came not from the oil sector alone, but from non-oil. Agriculture grew at better than eight percent. As telecoms sector grew, housing and construction, and I could go on and on. And this is to illustrate to you that once you get the macro-economy straightened out, the opportunities in various other sectors are enormous. We have opportunities in agriculture, like I said.</s>

This one entered her left hemisphere, and knocked out her Broca's area, the speech center of her brain. And in this session, Gabby's working with a speech therapist, and she's struggling to produce some of the most basic words, and you can see her breaks down into sobbing tears, and she starts sobbing wordlessly into the arms of her therapist. And after a few moments, her therapist tries a new tack, and they start singing together, and Gabby starts to sing through her tears, and you can hear her clearly able to enunciate the words to a song that describe the way she feels, and she sings, in one descending scale, she sings, "Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine." And it's a very powerful and poignant reminder of how the beauty of music has the ability to speak where words fail, in this case literally speak. Seeing this video of Gabby Giffords reminded me of the work of Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, one of the preeminent neuroscientists studying music and the brain at Harvard, and Schlaug is a proponent of a therapy called Melodic Intonation Therapy, which has become very popular in music therapy now. Schlaug found that his stroke victims who were aphasic, could not form sentences of three- or four-word sentences, but they could still sing the lyrics to a song, whether it was "Happy Birthday To You" or their favorite song by the Eagles or the Rolling Stones. And after 70 hours of intensive singing lessons, the brains of his patients and create a homologous speech center in their right hemisphere to compensate for the left hemisphere's damage. When I was 17, I visited Dr. Schlaug's lab, and in one afternoon he walked me through some of the leading research on music and the brain -- how musicians had fundamentally different brain structure than non-musicians, how music, and listening to music, our prefrontal cortex all the way back to our cerebellum, how music was becoming a neuropsychiatric modality to help children with autism, to help people struggling with stress and anxiety and depression, how deeply Parkinsonian patients would find that their tremor and their gait would steady when they listened to music, and how late-stage Alzheimer's patients, whose dementia was so far progressed that they could no longer recognize their family, could still pick out a tune by Chopin at the piano that they had learned when they were children.</s>

That is, when we get girls in school, we'll get an impact 15 to 20 years later, which is a secular trend which is very strong. That's why we must have that long-term perspective, but we must measure the impact over 10-year periods. It's fully possible to get child mortality down in all of these countries and to get them down in the corner where we all would like to live together. And of course, lowering child mortality is a matter of utmost importance from humanitarian aspects. It's a decent life for children, we are talking about. But it is also a strategic investment in the future of all mankind, because it's about the environment. We will not be able to manage the environment and avoid the terrible climate crisis if we don't stabilize the world population. Let's be clear about that. And the way to do that, that is to get child mortality down, get access to family planning and behind that drive female education. And that is fully possible. Let's do it. Thank you very much.</s>

It seems that someone I know is here.” “Ah, so you are the dragon-slaying sorcerer I’ve heard so much about.” “You have done a remarkable job in rescuing the concubines and dealing with the mastermind of the coup d’état.” “Well, I am truly grateful to have such a powerful individual as yourself on our side.” “Ah, yes.

I wanted to ask you something.” “Hmm. In that case, please excuse me, but I’d like to leave with him.” “Right. I think that would be good because there are some things you don’t want other people to hear.” “Well, shall we take our leave?” “I beg your pardon.” The other nobility withdrew to the opposite side as Count Kunuki and Pumpkin walked in the direction of the vacant balcony. “Now, it seems you have something you wish to ask me, is something the matter?” “Ah, yes. I’d like to ask you something about His Majesty...” When they arrived at the balcony, Pumpkin began to inquire. Count Kunuki cast his face down and thought about something before staring at his face after hearing his question. “You are a reincarnated person, aren’t you? In your memory, there was no one like His Majesty, was there?” “As far as I remember, there was no such person.” “Hmm. No wonder you have doubts then...” Count Kunuki glanced at the king once after nodding his head in agreement with the response. But rather than considering whether or not to discuss it, he seemed to be considering how to do so. Perhaps it is common knowledge for people in this world...

Even if it’s just a game, it’s good to be consistent... For both players and creators.” “Creators... Indeed. I did hear something about you working at a company before. Was it a game company?” “Oh, you did all of that research? Well, I’m the one who revealed it when someone asked... Uh, yeah, I was. But we ignored trends and just made retro games.” “Yeah, and so I quit. But the company is still around, which is a relief.” “So you quit making games and jumped into the world of a game.” “Exactly! I did not think that once I was finished entertaining people by making games, that I would then entertain people by playing them. But the culture of gaming has been good to me.” “Still, there is only so much you can do when playing by yourself. You have to have rivals and people to compete with, or events like these would be boring.” “Well, there is little that is more exciting than a battle between people. In both fiction and sports.” “That’s why I’m glad that it was you who was the last enemy to stand in our way. We know each other, and you’re someone I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be defeated by. Of course, I still didn’t want to lose! That’s why it was fun, scary, and I assume, very entertaining to watch.” “...Well, I’m not sure why I’m saying something so obvious to someone who is a pro gamer! Of course it would be interesting for two strong parties to fight! And I probably sound very smug now... Sorry! I thought there would be some kind of winner interview, and so I thought of different things to say, but I was only asked to say a few words...

And why were they found there? What I haven't told you is that the Indus people were very, very enterprising. They used to trade with people pretty far away from where they lived, and so in this case, they were traveling by sea all the way to Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq. And what seems to have happened here is that the Indus traders, the merchants, were using this script to write a foreign language. It's just like our English and Dutch example. And that would explain why we have these strange patterns that are very different from the kinds of patterns you see in the text that are found within the Indus Valley. This suggests that the same script, the Indus script, could be used to write different languages. The results we have so far seem to point to the conclusion that the Indus script probably does represent language. If it does represent language, then how do we read the symbols? That's our next big challenge. So you'll notice that many of the symbols look like pictures of humans, of insects, of fishes, of birds. Most ancient scripts use the rebus principle, which is, using pictures to represent words. So as an example, here's a word. Can you write it using pictures? I'll give you a couple seconds. Got it? Okay. Great. Here's my solution. You could use the picture of a bee followed by a picture of a leaf -- and that's "belief," right. There could be other solutions. In the case of the Indus script, the problem is the reverse. You have to figure out the sounds of each of these pictures such that the entire sequence makes sense. So this is just like a crossword puzzle, except that this is the mother of all crossword puzzles because the stakes are so high if you solve it. My colleagues, Iravatham Mahadevan and Asko Parpola, have been making some headway on this particular problem. And I'd like to give you a quick example of Parpola's work. Here's a really short text. It contains seven vertical strokes followed by this fish-like sign. for stamping clay tags that were attached to bundles of goods, so it's quite likely that these tags, at least some of them, contain names of merchants. And it turns out that in India there's a long tradition of names being based on horoscopes and star constellations present at the time of birth. In Dravidian languages, the word for fish is "meen" which happens to sound just like the word for star. And so seven stars would stand for "elu meen," which is the Dravidian word for the Big Dipper star constellation. Similarly, there's another sequence of six stars, and that translates to "aru meen," which is the old Dravidian name for the star constellation Pleiades. And finally, there's other combinations, such as this fish sign with something that looks like a roof on top of it. And that could be translated into "mey meen," which is the old Dravidian name for the planet Saturn. So that was pretty exciting. It looks like we're getting somewhere. that these seals contain Dravidian names based on planets and star constellations?</s>

Well, I’ll have something prepared then. Yes, we’ll have a welcoming party for you.” “Please don’t do anything too fancy. I’m really not used to that kind of etiquette.” “You really don’t need to worry about etiquette. It’s just me and the servants here. Oh, and what would the great Leo like to eat?” “She really likes...do you have any sausages? It’s her favorite. ...You know, they are stuffed with meat and...well, I don’t know if you have them in this world...” “We certainly do. Hehe. But it would be very interesting if we could later compare the foods in our worlds and find out what we have and don’t have.” “Yes, it would. ...Leo. It looks like you’ll be able to eat sausages.” “Wuff? Wou! Wou! Wou!” “Yeah? You look so happy.” Leo reacted strongly to the word ‘sausage.’ Her tail wagged and she nearly jumped on me... But wait! I would get crushed if you jumped on me with that huge body! “...Wou?” I somehow managed to make Leo calm down and stop her from pouncing on me. Things were finally starting to go well for me in this world, and I didn’t want to end the lucky streak by getting flattened under my dog. That wouldn’t even be funny. I patted the calmed down Leo on the head, and then she raised her face to look at me. Just then, the Ramogi that was on the table fell down. Apparently, Leo’s excitement earlier had caused the table to shake, and so the Ramogi was already on the edge. “Ah.” “Oh.” I managed to catch three of them before they hit the floor. Ms. Claire reached out a hand to pick up the single flower that was on the carpet. As I was about to return the Ramogi to the table, I couldn’t help but look at the flowers and wonder over how they could turn into medicine. In Japan, I never had the opportunity to see plants before decoction. All the medicine in drug stores and hospitals had already been processed into powders and tablets. While I didn’t know if it was the same thing, I did know that Kawara-yomogi(Artemisia capillaris) could help alleviate a fever. But I had never actually seen it used as medicine. ...Though, I had a vague recollection that they also chopped and dried the flowers. “Mr. Takumi?” “...Ah, I’m sorry. I got lost in thought.”</s>

Can you see what they are doing? What does that mean for the origin of flapping flight? Maybe it's evolved from coming down from trees, and trying to control a glide. Stay tuned for that. So then we wondered, "Can they actually maneuver with this?" So there is the landing target. Could they steer towards it with these capabilities? Here it is in the wind tunnel. And it certainly looks like it. You can see it even better from down on top. Watch the animal. Definitely moving towards the landing target. Watch the whip of its tail as it does it. Look at that. It's unbelievable. So now we were really confused, because there are no reports of it gliding. So we went, "Oh my god, we have to go to the field, and see if it actually does this." Completely opposite of the way you'd see it on a nature film, of course. We wondered, "Do they actually glide in nature?" Well we went to the forests of Singapore and Southeast Asia. And the next video you see is the first time we've showed this. This is the actual video -- not staged, a real research video -- of animal gliding down. There is a red trajectory line. Look at the end to see the animal. But then as it gets closer to the tree, look at the close-up. And see if you can see it land. So there it comes down. There is a gecko at the end of that trajectory line. You see it there? There? Watch it come down. Now watch up there and you can see the landing. Did you see it hit? It actually uses its tail too, just like we saw in the lab. So now we can continue this mutualism by suggesting that they can make an active tail. And here is the first active tail, in the robot, made by Boston Dynamics. So to conclude, I think we need to build biomutualisms, like I showed, that will increase the pace of basic discovery in their application. To do this though, we need to redesign education in a major way, to balance depth with interdisciplinary communication, and explicitly train people how to contribute to, and benefit from other disciplines. And of course you need the organisms and the environment to do it. That is, whether you care about security, search and rescue or health, we must preserve nature's designs, otherwise these secrets will be lost forever. And from what I heard from our new president, I'm very optimistic. Thank you.</s>

So it's right up in the heavens. It's very, very difficult to breath. You get altitude sickness. just hitting your head all the time. That's not the worst part of it. The worst part was this year was the year where they decided to do a big cleanup operation on Mt. Everest. Many, many people have died on Mt. Everest, and this was the year they decided to go and recover all the bodies of the mountaineers and then bring them down the mountain. And when you're walking up the mountain to attempt to do something which no human has ever done before, and, in fact, no fish -- there are no fish up there swimming at 5,300 meters -- When you're trying to do that, and then the bodies are coming past you, it humbles you, and you also realize very, very clearly that nature is so much more powerful than we are. And we walked up this pathway, all the way up. And to the right hand side of us was this great Khumbu Glacier. And all the way along the glacier we saw these big pools of melting ice. And then we got up to this small lake underneath the summit of Mt. Everest, and I prepared myself the same way as I've always prepared myself, for this swim which was going to be so very difficult. I put on my iPod, I listened to some music, I got myself as aggressive as possible -- but controlled aggression -- and then I hurled myself into that water. for the first hundred meters, and then I realized very, very quickly, I had a huge problem on my hands. I could barely breathe. I was gasping for air. I then began to choke, and then it quickly led to me vomiting in the water. And it all happened so quickly: I then -- I don't know how it happened -- but I went underwater. And luckily, the water was quite shallow, and I was able to push myself off the bottom of the lake and get up and then take another gasp of air. And then I said, carry on. Carry on. Carry on. I carried on for another five or six strokes, and then I had nothing in my body, and I went down to the bottom of the lake. but I was able to somehow pull myself up and as quickly as possible get to the side of the lake. I've heard it said that drowning is the most peaceful death that you can have. I have never, ever heard such utter bollocks. It is the most frightening and panicky feeling I got myself to the side of the lake. My crew grabbed me, and then we walked as quickly as we could down to our camp. And there, we sat down, and we did a debrief about what had gone wrong there on Mt. Everest. And my team just gave it to me straight. They said, Lewis, you need to have a radical tactical shift Every single thing which you have learned in the past 23 years of swimming, you must forget. Every single thing which you learned when you were serving in the British army, about speed and aggression, you put that to one side. We want you to walk up the hill in another two days' time.

My foster father's small act of love reminded me of my father, who would love to share his food with me when he was hungry, even if he was starving. I felt so suffocated that I had so much food in America, yet my father died of starvation. My only wish that night was to cook a meal for him, and that night I also thought of what else I could do to honor him. And my answer was to promise to myself that I would study hard and get the best education in America to honor his sacrifice. I took school seriously, and for the first time ever in my life, I received an academic award for excellence, and made dean's list from the first semester in high school. That chicken wing changed my life. Hope is personal. Hope is something that no one can give to you. You have to choose to believe in hope. You have to make it yourself. In North Korea, I made it myself. Hope brought me to America. But in America, I didn't know what to do, because I had this overwhelming freedom. My foster father at that dinner gave me a direction, and he motivated me and gave me a purpose to live in America. I did not come here by myself. I had hope, but hope by itself is not enough. Many people helped me along the way to get here. North Koreans are fighting hard to survive. They have to force themselves to survive, have hope to survive, but they cannot make it without help. This is my message to you. Have hope for yourself, but also help each other. Life can be hard for everyone, wherever you live. My foster father didn't intend to change my life. In the same way, you may also change someone's life with even the smallest act of love. A piece of bread can satisfy your hunger, and having the hope will bring you bread to keep you alive. But I confidently believe that your act of love and caring can also save another Joseph's life and change thousands of other Josephs who are still having hope to survive. Thank you.

And the first words that I spoke were in Washington, D.C., on the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. And my family and friends had gathered there to hear me speak. And I said, "Thank you for being here." My mother, out in the audience, she jumped up, "Hallelujah, Johnny’s talking!" Imagine if you were quiet for 17 years and your mother was out in the audience, say. My dad said to me, "That’s one" -- I’ll explain that. But I turned around because I didn’t recognize where my voice was coming from. I hadn’t heard my voice in 17 years, so I turned around and I looked and I said, "God, who's saying what I’m thinking?" And then I realized it was me, you know, and I kind of laughed. And I could see my father: "Yeah, he really is crazy." Well, I want to take you on this journey. And the journey, I believe, is a metaphor for all of our journeys. Even though this one is kind of unusual, I want you to think about your own journey. My journey began in 1971 when I witnessed two oil tankers collide beneath the Golden Gate, and a half a million gallons of oil spilled into the bay. It disturbed me so much that I decided that I was going to give up riding and driving in motorized vehicles. That’s a big thing in California. And it was a big thing in my little community of Point Reyes Station in Inverness, California, because there were only about 350 people there in the winter – this was back in '71 now. And so when I came in and I started walking around, people -- they just knew what was going on. And people would drive up next to me and say, "John, what are you doing?" And I’d say, "Well, I’m walking for the environment." And they said, "No, you’re walking to make us look bad, right? You’re walking to make us feel bad." And maybe there was some truth to that, because I thought that if I started walking, everyone would follow. Because of the oil, everybody talked about the polllution. And so I argued with people about that, I argued and I argued. I called my parents up. I said, "I’ve given up riding and driving in cars." My dad said, "Why didn’t you do that when you were 16?" I didn’t know about the environment then. They’re back in Philadelphia. And so I told my mother, "I’m happy though, I’m really happy."</s>

I need to drain the blood, I’ll show you how it cuts!” “Oh, hey Chloe.” Pulling out the sword once again, Chloe quickly swung the spirit sword. The head of the fallen one-horned rabbit was cut off, and blood began to flow out onto the dirt road. “I was amazed to see that a wooden sword can really slice through a rabbit’s neck. It’s amazing to live in a different world. And no matter how much of a monster it is, cutting down a rabbit without hesitation is just not good.” However, even a cute looking normal sized rabbit can become the size of a minivan when it grows up.

I’d rather praise her. “Fufu, I’m still a knight in spite of all this!” “Ah, I’ve been wondering about that. Chloe, does being a knight mean that you are a knight at heart?

Moreover, even though he said they were trying to kill each other, from the beginning, the Black Dragon never turned its killing intent and malice towards Hajime and the others. They understood the reason now. With it’s will literally deprived, it only did as ordered just like a machine. Even so, there was no change with how they tried to kill each other. However, in the first place, Will was the only one in the Black Dragon’s eyes, and the reason it battled Hajime was because the Black Dragon confronted Hajime’s intent to kill. Further saying, Hajime would be inconvenienced if Will was dead, so certainly it was an enemy because it aimed at Will, but the one behind the Black Dragon was the robed man. Then, if he were to talk about who the enemy was, it’d be more likely to be that man. Also, there was a reason for her to stop him. Yue knew Hajime’s stance. But, in Yue’s eyes, “enemy” that should be killed and the Black Dragon weren’t the same thing. Because she was the ruler of the Vampire race, having experienced such things, her eyes wouldn’t be mistaken about a person. In Yue’s eyes, there were no essence of “enemy” inside the Black Dragon’s mind. For Yue, she at least didn’t want Hajime to kill things other than the “enemy,” After all, “... ... If one compromised on the important rule imposed to themselves, one would be broken. Wouldn’t your rule changed if you kill the Black Dragon?” She was worried that Hajime would be “broken” if he killed things beside the “enemy.” Having received Yue’s words, Hajime could guess her mind, and he thought more and more carefully if the Black Dragon was the “enemy” as he slightly inclined his neck. Even if it was manipulated, Hajime was not so naive to considered that in a fight to death. He would have most likely killed it without mercy. However, after it regained its mind and the brainwashing was dissolved, to purposely execute it with “enemies will be killed,” he thought, isn’t that a deviation? As she clung on Hajime’s neck, Yue was watching him closely and looked like they’d kiss at any moment, and having thought of that, unexpectedly, it spoke with a quiet desperate tone. “This one is sorry to intrude on such good atmosphere, but even if thou feel lost, at the very least could thou pull out the stake from this one’s ***? If this keep up, this one will be dead no matter what will happened.” “Nn? What do you mean?”</s>

As we design these things, we could be thinking about designing these invisible worlds, and also thinking about how they interact with our personal ecosystems. Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, and these creatures define who we are. The microbes in your gut can influence your weight and your moods. The microbes on your skin can help boost your immune system. The microbes in your mouth can freshen your breath, or not, and the key thing is that our personal ecosystems interact with ecosystems on everything we touch. So, for example, when you touch a pencil, microbial exchange happens. If we can design the invisible ecosystems in our surroundings, this opens a path to influencing our health in unprecedented ways. I get asked all of the time from people, "Is it possible to really design microbial ecosystems?" And I believe the answer is yes. I think we're doing it right now, but we're doing it unconsciously. I'm going to share data with you from one aspect of my research focused on architecture that demonstrates how, through both conscious and unconscious design, we're impacting these invisible worlds. This is the Lillis Business Complex at the University of Oregon, and I worked with a team of architects and biologists to sample over 300 rooms in this building. We wanted to get something like a fossil record of the building, and to do this, we sampled dust. From the dust, we pulled out bacterial cells, broke them open, and compared their gene sequences. This means that people in my group were doing a lot of vacuuming during this project. This is a picture of Tim, who, right when I snapped this picture, reminded me, he said, "Jessica, the last lab group I worked in I was doing fieldwork in the Costa Rican rainforest, and things have changed dramatically for me." So I'm going to show you now first what we found in the offices, and we're going to look at the data through a visualization tool that I've been working on in partnership with Autodesk. The way that you look at this data is, first, look around the outside of the circle. You'll see broad bacterial groups, and if you look at the shape of this pink lobe, it tells you something about the relative abundance of each group. So at 12 o'clock, you'll see that offices have a lot of alphaproteobacteria, and at one o'clock you'll see that bacilli are relatively rare. Let's take a look at what's going on in different space types in this building. If you look inside the restrooms, they all have really similar ecosystems, and if you were to look inside the classrooms, those also have similar ecosystems.</s>

Let me guess. You’re hungry too?” “Wou...” After returning to the camp, she had eaten her sausages as usual, as well as the food that Ms. Lyra made. But she was still hungry. And though she looked a little embarrassed at having been seen drooling, she quietly admitted that she was. “...Ms. Lyra... I’m very sorry, but...” “Yes, you want some for Leo. Don’t worry, we still have plenty of orc meat left.” “Wuff! Wuff!” After hearing me make the request to Ms. Lyra, Leo barked happily and wagged her tail. Leo, I can understand why you are happy to be able to eat some meat. But don’t wag your tail so much. You’re hitting the fenrir, who is trying to eat. A short while later, the meat that Ms. Lyra quickly prepared was ready, and both Leo and the fenrir were eating side by side. As they were so different in size, they looked like a parent and child. Also, as expected, the food was not enough for the fenrir. It ate so much in spite of not being that big... I suppose it was trying to get back its lost energy. “Hehehe. It eats so much.” “Yes, it does.” Ms. Claire watched the ravenous fenrir and chuckled. Then the fenrir and Leo finished eating their late night meal, and we washed the plates in the river. “Oh? It looks like the fenrir is sleeping again.” “Yes. It must have become sleepy after eating so much. Hehe. It is just adorable.” I returned to the camp after washing the plates at the river with Sebastian, and saw that the fenrir was sleeping comfortably in Ms. Claire’s arms, just like it had before. It hadn’t recovered completely, and still needed rest. Ms. Claire was smiling as she looked down at the peaceful fenrir. It was clear that she had become quite fond of it. And then, with the exception of Phillip and Nicholas, who took the first watch, everyone retired to the tents in order to get some sleep. As the fenrir did not want to leave Ms. Claire, she decided to sleep with it. But Leo would also sleep in front of the women’s tent, just in case something happened. Now, I had to sleep as well. As Leo and I had the next watch. And so I entered the mens tent and said good night Sebastian before going to sleep. The next morning arrived without incident, both during the watch and while I slept. But just as I got out of my sleeping bag in order to prepare myself for the morning, I heard a dog-like barking sound coming from outside of the tent. It was that fenrir we found yesterday. “Good morning, Ms. Claire.” “Good morning, Mr. Takumi.” “Kyu, kyu.” I greeted Ms. Claire, who was standing outside of the tent. The rescued fenrir was now running around Ms. Claire’s legs.</s>

I’m sure I look like an absolute mess right now. I wonder if I’ll even be able to open my eyes tomorrow morning after all this crying I’ve been doing. “So you’ve been learning how to use a sword and reading countless books every day in order to become a villainess.....” I give him a huge nod. Grandpa Will smiles broadly at that, the lines around his eyes crinkling. “Never lose that ambition of yours.” Surprisingly, he’s actually okay with me wanting to become a villainess.... to the point of endorsing it? I wonder why..... A villainess is a bad person, you know. She’s someone who won’t care what happens to others as long as she, herself, is doing well..... “You should go home now.” “I’ll come again.” At my quick reply, Grandpa Will’s expression turns troubled. “It would be better if you didn’t come back.” “No. I still want to talk with you more, Grandpa Will.” I wonder if he’s already realized how stubborn I am, and that once I’ve made up my mind to do something I’ll definitely make sure to see it through until the end. On that note, I leave Grandpa Will’s house and head back towards the mist. As soon as I get outside, I’m once again accosted by the awful smell. I cover my nose with my hand in an attempt to avoid the stench as much as possible while I walk. After a few minutes, I’ve walked into and through the fog, and find myself back in the woods. I carry my extinguished lantern, and start running back towards home. At this point, my eyes had already become accustomed to the darkness, and as I make my way back I notice that the terror I had felt while coming here is completely gone now. And as I run home, I think more about what I had just seen. In a few words, that impoverished village is just a place of decay and despair. I would rather not go there again in the future, but I want to talk more with Grandpa Will. Since, of all of my acquaintance, I definitely think that he’s the wisest person I’ve ever met.</s>

With the sound of each sharp slap, I could hear Timu’s moan. Her bottom has become red too. Uuu, this really is tough. I don’t want to see my beloved little sister suffering. But discipline is important. Taking care that it’s not strong enough to hurt her, but still strong enough that she’ll reflect, I continue to spank her as I regulate the power― “Guha-, gahah-! Haa, haa, I-, I’ll die.” “Should I give you another hit?” “Uu-, uuuuu― I-, I was wrong. Please stop it alreadyy!” Timu finally began to break down in tears. There’s still a little chuunibyou left in her speech, but it seems that she’s finally reflected. Seeing Timu crying hurts my heart. Timu, I’m sorry. Even though it was necessary, I still hit my beloved little sister. It was tough for me too. Mn, I’ll stop the scolding here. Timu’s already reflected after all, so I need to comfort her, right? “Timu.” I spoke to her in the gentlest voice I could muster. “Uu-, uuu... K-, Kill me! H-, Having received this kind of humiliation, I can never live it down!” Timu gave me a frantic and angry glare. Timu, humiliation, you said? ―I see! I’m sure Timu is embarrassed. Not only did her chuunibyou get really bad, but on top of that she even raised her hand against her older sister. She’s definitely worrying about that. In my past life when my parents gave me a warning and I acted violently, I wanted to die as well. Because my behavior was shameful, I just kept thinking about it. Timu is probably feeling the same way right now. ―Alright. Then right now, I’ll talk to Timu about my past life. I hadn’t planned on telling anyone about the memories of my past life. I’d hate for them to think I was crazy after all. But I have to say it. If I tell her about how in my past life, I had a severe case of chuunibyou and raised my hand against my family, Timu should be able to empathize and understand. Compared to me, Timu has absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. And to comfort her, I’ll let her know just how much I care about her. “Timu, listen up.” “W-, What...?” I gazed at Timu with a serious expression. And then about how I was a reincarnater, about how I was born in a country called Japan in my past life, about how in my past life I suffered from chuunibyou, ah, but since she wouldn’t understand the word ‘chuunibyou,’ I confessed that as the ‘Evil God Dark Matter’ I did some extremely cringeworthy things. ...I told her all of it. It ended up being all of my dark history, didn’t it? Does Timu understand what I’m really trying to say? “F-, For something like that to have been― W-, What have I done!?” Mmn, though she seems to be in shock, it looks like she believes me.</s>

I mean seriously, the Department of Energy did not have anything to do with fracking. The first frack job was in '47. I saw my first one in '53. I've fracked over 3,000 wells in my life. Never had a problem with messing up an aquifer or anything else. Now the largest aquifer in North America is from Midland, Texas to the South Dakota border, across eight states -- big aquifer: Ogallala, Triassic age.

If so, then Inglis could raise her hope up. If Highlander Knights were weaker than the Knights of Midland, then the Highland wouldn’t be able to suppress them. Therefore, a Highlander Knight must have the power to overwhelm the forces of Midland, or something else equivalent to it. 「You sure seem happy. I’m enthralled to see that beautiful face of yours contort in fear.」「I very much agree. I too want to see my own expression in such an event. If you’re that much of a powerhouse, that is.」「If so——How does this sound? O’ Gate, open!」 A ripple in the space, something akin to a space distortion, vortexes around Faris’ clenched fists. In the blink of an eye, the distortion warped all around, changing the scenery in front of Inglis. Before she noticed, Inglis was already standing in a space with no walls or edges, accompanied with yellow-green light motes floating around. 「This is... a subspace?」「It’s like the 『Maze of Trials』......!」「R-, rather than that, look at the surroundings! There are Magic Stone Beasts everywhere!」「W-, what’s with that number!?」 Just as Leone and Prime Minister Althea said, there were legions and legions of Magic Stone Beasts crowding around. They numbered not in tens, but in hundreds or even bordering thousands. The countless beasts were all encircling Inglis, Faris, and the others from a distance. They seemed to be unable to enter the pale-colored pillar of light Inglis and the others were in, as it seemed to be a safe-zone in this subspace. 「The beasts were gushing out from here, huh......!?」 That would explain why Inglis couldn’t feel their presence until they made their appearance. When Inglis, Rafinha, and Leone were boarding on the Flygear Carrier, the beasts were dwelling in this subspace, and thus they technically didn’t exist. Unlike the Ironblood Chain Brigade’s method of using Prism Powder to produce Magic Stone Beasts, Faris gathered the naturally spawned instances of those beasts and locked them in this space. 「That is what it is. Being in the same space with these monsters makes my skin crawl, though.」「In short, you gathered them to doctor the crime scene as if it was the work of the brigade, is it?」「Spot on. It’s already well known that it’s their modus operandi, isn’t it? Those foolish Knights of the Kingdom were too shortsighted. If you want to frame, make sure that every piece of evidence points in the correct direction. You see, I’m a cautious man.」「I see. So for that reason you asked us to be your guards.」「What do you mean, Glis?」「In his script, the three of us will join the Ironblood Chain Brigade, kill Special Envoy Myynti along with Prime Minister Althea, and ultimately break the ongoing negotiation.」「......

You can put your belt back on, put your computer back in your bag. And then my all-time favorite word at this vote, which is "multi-slacking." of having multiple windows up on your screen so it looks like you're working when you're actually goofing around on the web. Will all of these words stick? Absolutely not. And we have made some questionable choices, for example in 2006 when the word of the year was "Plutoed," to mean demoted. But some of the past winners now seem completely unremarkable, such as "app" and "e" as a prefix, and "google" as a verb. Now, a few weeks before our vote, Lake Superior State University issues its list of banished words for the year. What is striking about this is that there's actually often quite a lot of overlap between their list and the list that we are considering for words of the year, and this is because we're noticing the same thing. We're noticing words that are coming into prominence. It's really a question of attitude. Are you bothered by language fads and language change, or do you find it fun, interesting, something worthy of study as part of a living language? The list by Lake Superior State University continues a fairly long tradition in English of complaints about new words. So here is Dean Henry Alford in 1875, who was very concerned that "desirability" is really a terrible word. In 1760, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to David Hume giving up the word "colonize" as bad. Over the years, we've also seen worries about new pronunciations. Here is Samuel Rogers in 1855 and he says "as if contemplate were not bad enough, balcony makes me sick." The word is borrowed in from Italian and it was pronounced bal-COE-nee. These complaints now strike us as quaint, if not downright adorkable -- -- but here's the thing: we still get quite worked up about language change. I have an entire file in my office of newspaper articles which express concern about illegitimate words that should not have been included in the dictionary, including "LOL" when it got into the Oxford English Dictionary and "defriend" when it got into the Oxford American Dictionary. I also have articles expressing concern about "invite" as a noun, "impact" as a verb, because only teeth can be impacted, and "incentivize" is described as "boorish, bureaucratic misspeak."</s>

Additionally, from its back spouted the numerous legs of a spider. It was a species called [bugkin] within the magical beasts. Similar to the beastkin, they were originally bugs but were transformed to possess human appearances due to the influence of mana. Alternatively, they were originally humans but ended up transforming after consuming too many insects which had absorbed mana. Whichever their origin was, in this world, due to their hideous and repulsive appearances, they were subjected to being categorised as magical beasts, thus it was impossible for them to obtain the same rights and privileges as that of the other humanoids. “Kyahahaha, they’re scared, they’re scared! That’s why I said, the sergeant’s out just from how you look!” The last to speak out was a young girl with a flower on her head. Similar to the previous individual, the appearance of her silhouette closely resembled that of a human’s. However, grass and flowers grew from her limbs, revealing the fact that she was not human. Looking even more carefully, her legs were like that of something that had already transformed into the roots of a plant and did not even have any muscle attached to it. She was of a species which possessed the characteristics of a plant within the magical beast category called dryade – or sometimes known as dryads. This was a species with extremely similar traits to humans. Nevertheless, they were also subjected to the unfair categorisation and subsequently unjust persecution and oppression due to them being categorised as magical beasts. In other words, in regards to the four individuals which were present here, all were from species which did not differ greatly from the rest of the humanoids. Notwithstanding, simply due to the arbitrary definitions of categorisation, they were treated as magical beasts. “You detestable magical beasts! Get away from the guardian dragon-sama right this instant!” Kaineko shouted out in anger and drew his sword. However, the four individuals on top of the dragon showed a greater hint of anger in response to those words. The four individuals looked down at Kaineko with the eyes they might have shown looking at their parents’ killer. Subsequently, the spiderkin responded as their representative. “Magical beast... I guess you’re right. In the current state of this world, we’re magical beasts. We’re forced into that category. But... between you and us, what exactly is the difference?” “What!?” “We’re able to converse with each other. We’re even able to understand one another. Aside from being different in appearance, you and I are completely the same. So then why, why is it that we have to be treated as magical beasts? Why do we have to be persecuted, oppressed, and driven away?” After hearing the spiderkin’s question, there was no one who could answer immediately. What was the difference between them? – even if they were asked such a thing, they did not know. They could only answer, “You just look different.” At this moment, the lamia woman placed her hand on the shoulder of the spiderkin and calmed him down. “Stop it. There’s no point in asking them that. We’ve been trying to advocate for our rights for hundreds of years... We’ve been working hard so that we can understand each other and walk side by side... but even then, we’ve been getting ignored. That’s why we ended up deciding this, wasn’t it? Now that we’ve come this far, there’s no point in talking to these people. Even if we did, nothing’s going to change.” “.... You’re... right. You’re exactly right.” “The only one who can save us is Leon-sama. We shouldn’t depend on the humanoids anymore.”</s>

I sat down at the back of the hall and looked at the slaves. This time’s market was full of sex slaves and soldiers, I couldn’t spot anyone suitable for our needs. After a short break, it was a time for crime slaves to take the stage. I don’t plan to pay a special attention to this section. That being said, it’s not like there is a zero possibility of Mei-level individuals to appear. I shouldn’t overlook him. A while after the start, the stage turned noisy for some reason. It seems that a female crime slave went on a rampage. After a while, three slaves were dragged out to the stage but once I saw them, I received a great shock. ......The idiot heroes of the cat tribe. The female cat is always crying. The men had swollen faces as if they just received a beating. All three wore some tattered clothes. 「Well then, number . A man of the cat tribe, years old; a woman of the cat tribe, years old; a man of the cat tribe, years old. Let’s start with 5000G! 」 Unexpectedly, there was no response. In this still atmosphere, a certain noble-looking man raised his token. 「Is there anyone else? Anyone? 」「10000G!」 I raised my voice before I noticed. 「10000G! Is there anyone else? Anyone?......Then, the final price is 10000G! 」 We didn’t wait for the end of the event and went outside. 「Rinos, why did you buy those cat tribe people?」「Don’t you remember, Rico? He is the cat that claimed to be a hero and caused a mess in the palace」「There was such a thing. Are they truly those people? 」「I don’t think I’m wrong」 I headed towards the room where people collected their purchases. After a while, we were approached by a strange-looking slave trader. 「Thank you for your purchase. Let’s complete the procedures right away」 The man said so and led us to another room. In the same way as with Mei, I paid the money and provided my blood. Immediately after, those idiot cats were brought inside. Different from their tattered clothes from before, the men wore shirts and the woman wore one piece. They stood in a row as my blood was put on their arms and legs. Once the trader chanted the spell, my arm glowed. 「With this, the contract has been completed. If those slaves’ performance isn’t to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to visit us as we can buy them back」 Saying that, the man gave me something like a business card and left the room. 「Thank you for purchasing us this time. We shall perform our duty with utmost effort」</s>

Didn’t I mention something like this before? Since the conception of the [Resonance Spell] and the initiation of Pumpkin’s research, several weeks have passed. By the time he had finished his research on [Resonance Spell・Sleep Cloud], all the trees that had previously begun to fall off their leaves had completely fallen, and the air had started to get colder, albeit at a gradual pace. Well, there is no problem so far. As a pumpkin, he appeared to be at the peak of ripeness, yet rotting seemed to be deemed damage that could be easily prevented by infusing his body magic power. So there is no problem with this aspect too. “Fuu. That should do it for now.” On the roof of the base, Pumpkin used a vine to scoop up the snow and drop it towards the ground. The accumulation of snow on top of the base was the primary issue. “I’m not content to just shovel the snow off the ground.” However, even after removing the snow in this way, snow has been falling in an ongoing manner, causing the snow to slowly start accumulating on top of the roof again. Ah, yeah. If I had properly sloped the roof, I wouldn’t have to work so hard. But I mentioned this before in explaining the location of the base. The base is shaped like a “box”. Yes, that’s right. Rather than saying it looks like a box, it really is box-shaped, and there is a ridiculous amount of snow on the roof. If I hadn’t taken action, my base would have been crushed by the weight of the snow. Pumpkin removed the snow as a result, and at the same time, he built a roof out of the proper lumber on the base, allowing the snow to fall to some extent under the weight itself. “Even so, I didn’t expect this much snow to fall.” In the same manner as when he erected the base, he swept off the newly piled snow and attached the roof. And in front of him, a blanket of snow had fallen, covering the forest’s trees and the ground. From its looks, to centimeters of snow will probably fall in just one day. “In any event, if it’s going to fall this much, the fact that I’m also shielded from the cold by magic self-enhancement is really a lifesaver... Ugh, how cold.” From among the various leaves, he chose one and repressed the magic force it held. By suppressing the magic power of the leaf, the strengthening of the leaf will be weakened, and the frigid outside air that froze his body to the core will be directly transmitted to the leaf. If his whole body were to be subjected to this cold, he would surely freeze to death. It was a fortunate thing that he was able to prevent damage from the cold by strengthening his body with magic power. Even though there was a method to mitigate the transmission of cold by wearing a bear or boar fur, it would have been a drop in the bucket before this extreme temperature and his pumpkin-shaped physique, which produced practically no heat on its own.</s>

And even if you look in ancient African empires, they were all organized around one particular principle -- the confederacy principle, which is characterized by a great deal of devolution of authority, decentralization of power. Now, this is what I have described to you. This is part of Africa's indigenous political heritage. Now, compare that to the modern systems the ruling elites established on Africa. It is a total far cry. In the economic system in traditional Africa, the means of production is privately owned. It's owned by extended families. You see, in the West, the basic economic and social unit is the individual. The American will say, "I am because I am, and I can damn well do anything I want, anytime." The accent is on the "I." In Africa, the Africans say, "I am, because we are." The "we" connotes community -- the extended family system. The extended family system pools its resources together. They own farms. They decide what to do, what to produce. They don't take any orders from their chiefs. They decide what to do. And when they produce their crops, they sell the surplus on marketplaces. When they make a profit it is theirs to keep, not for the chief to sequester it from them. So, in a nutshell, what we had in traditional Africa was a free-market system. There were markets in Africa before the colonialists stepped foot on the continent. Timbuktu was one great big market town. Kano, Salaga -- they were all there. Even if you go to West Africa, you notice that market activity in West Africa has always been dominated by women. So, it's quite appropriate that this section is called a marketplace. The market is not alien to Africa. What Africans practiced was a different form of capitalism, but then after independence, all of a sudden, markets, capitalism became a western institution, and the leaders said Africans were ready for socialism. Nonsense. And even then, what kind of socialism did they practice? The socialism that they practiced was a peculiar form of Swiss-bank socialism, which allowed the heads of states and the ministers to rape and plunder Africa's treasuries for deposit in Switzerland. That is not the kind of system Africans had known for centuries. What do we do now? Go back to Africa's indigenous institutions, and this is where we charge the Cheetahs to go into the informal sectors, the traditional sectors. That's where you find the African people. And I'd like to show you a quick little video about the informal sector, about the boat-building that I, myself, tried to mobilize Africans in the Diaspora to invest in. Could you please show that? The men are going fishing in these small boats. Yes, it's an enterprise.</s>

The country with the least social progress, I'm sorry to say, is Chad. I've never been; maybe next year. Or maybe the year after. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Aha, but New Zealand has a higher GDP than Chad!" It's a good point, well made. two other countries. Here's the United States — considerably richer than New Zealand, but with a lower level of social progress. And then here's Senegal — it's got a higher level of social progress than Chad, but the same level of GDP. So what's going on? Well, look. Let me bring in the rest of the countries of the world, the 132 we've been able to measure, each one represented by a dot. There we go. Lots of dots. Now, obviously I can't do all of them, so a few highlights for you: The highest ranked G7 country is Canada.

Tucked away on the right-hand side, you will see a dot of a country with a lot of GDP but not a huge amount of social progress — that's Kuwait. Just above Brazil is a social progress superpower — that's Costa Rica. It's got a level of social progress the same as some Western European countries, with a much lower GDP. Now, my slide is getting a little cluttered and I'd like to step back a bit. So let me take away these countries, So this shows the average relationship between GDP and social progress. The first thing to notice, is that there's lots of noise around the trend line. And what this shows, what this empirically demonstrates, is that GDP is not destiny. At every level of GDP per capita, there are opportunities for more social progress, risks of less. The second thing to notice is that for poor countries, the curve is really steep. So what this tells us is that if poor countries can get a little bit of extra GDP, and if they reinvest that in doctors, nurses, water supplies, sanitation, etc., there's a lot of social progress bang for your GDP buck. with a lot of people lifted out of poverty by economic growth and good policies in poorer countries.</s>

If it’s the current you, even without Faea Belgaen’s protection, you’ll be able to survive inside the Sea of Trees. That means, this is good bye” Then, he took a peek at Shia. His eyes asked her if she wanted to leave behind some words, and Shia understood perfectly that now was the time to voice her intentions. Even though she’ll be back, conquering three of the Great Dungeons would take much time. She wouldn’t be able to meet her family during that time. Shia nodded, then took a step forward to talk to Kam and the others” “Fath- “Boss! I have something to say!” ... ... huuh, father? This is my turn...” Kam took a step forward while ignoring Shia. ‘Bishi’, then stood at attention. On his side, “Father? Wait, father?”, Shia’s words could be heard and as if he was a British guardsman he just looked ahead while standing upright. “A~, what is it?” For the time being Shia called out, father? father?, but was ignored, while Hajime asked Kam. Kam, while not looking at Shia and ignoring her, started to tell the consensus from the Haulia tribe. “Boss, please take us along!” “Eh! Everyone also wanted to go with Hajime-san!?” Shia was surprised at Kam’s words. In the discussion ten days ago, what happened with that mood when you were sending me off!?, were the words she said. “We are Haulia but at the same time not Haulia! We are Boss’s subordinates! By all means, take us along! This is our tribe’s consensus!” “Wait a sec, father! I’ve never heard of that! Rather, for what purpose did I have to go through those hardships...” “I admit, we are jealous of Shia!” “He admits that! He really said that! Really, what happened in those ten days!” While Kam said the tribe’s consensus, he ignored Shia’s remark. What is this situation?, was what Hajime thought then frankly answered. “I refuse.” “Why!?” Kam tried to ask the reason for Hajime’s quick reply. The other Haulia tribe members also approached Hajime in impatience. “Of course it’s because you will only be hindrances, you idiot-” “But!”</s>

Everyone is looking at you, Glis!」 Rafinha revelled in the attention given to Inglis, even though Inglis herself didn’t really relish in the extra scrutiny. She could still stomach the looks that she received from the females, though they might be a little embarrassing for her. Those could be considered looks one gave when appreciating a piece of beautiful artwork, thus, they didn’t bother her as much. Whereas, the leers that she was subjected to by the males were something entirely different and they were not as pleasing. Especially since this was the first time that she had been on the receiving end of this kind of attention. While Inglis might only be years old, her mature profile would let her pass as a ripe -year-old girl. And in this era, a female at the age of was considered an adult and could be courted by the male population. Inglis’ face, hair, slender legs, and especially her cleavage that was visible through the revealing cut of her dress were being ogled by the lustful males.In her previous life as a male, she had been one of the offenders of such behaviours too. When a beautiful woman showed up on an evening party like this, Inglis wouldn’t have been able to help herself but to appreciate her beauty. It was just a slight interest on her part as a male, but now that she was on the receiving end of those same eyes, she finally realized just how uncomfortable it was to be exposed to those probing and ogling gazes. Only now did she wonder just how the females in her previous life had felt when they were in her position. In spite of herself, Inglis took shelter behind Rafinha’s back. 「What’s wrong with you, Glis? You shouldn’t hide away, everyone is looking at you.」「Th-, that’s exactly why...! I’m being looked at weirdly!」「You look so adult, after all, Glis. Isn’t it good, you’re popular you know? I envy you.」「D-, don’t say something stupid...!」 Inglis thought that perhaps this kind of attention would not be as unpleasant for an actual, inside-out woman. But of course, this was not the case for her because even though she was reborn as a female, her mentality stayed that of a male. Thus, this current predicament of hers was akin to be lusted by people of the same sex. 「Huu... Anyway, let’s go to where lord Marquis is already!」「I-, I understand, Glis.」 She would leave the venue the very second they were done greeting the envoy. With Inglis following closely behind her, Rafinha scanned the room for her father. When they reached the innermost part of the venue, they spotted him leisurely conversing with the guests. 「Father!」「Lord!」 Having recognized the two, the Marquis grinned joyously. 「Ooh, if it isn’t Rafinha and Inglis! You two look wonderful in your gowns. Precisely the flowers needed to make the banquet bloom! You two have grown so big before I even noticed it.」 After which, he introduced them to the people around him. 「Let me introduce you. They are my daughter Rafinha and my niece Inglis.」「I’m Rafinha. Nice to meet you.」「My name is Inglis. Thank you for having me tonight.」 Just like the ladies they were, Inglis and Rafinha curtsied politely.</s>

So, how do you do that? One of the things I should probably tell you is, I worked for the Discovery Channel early in my career, and that sort of warped my framework. So, when you start to think about politicians, you've got to realize these are strange creatures. Other than the fact that they can't tell directions, and they have very strange breeding habits, how do you actually work with these things? What drives the political creature? And there are two things that are primary in a politician's heart: One is reputation and influence. a politician can do his job. The second one -- unlike most animals, which is survival of the species -- this is preservation of self. Now you may think it's money, but that's actually sort of a proxy to what I can do to preserve myself. Now, the challenge with you moving your issue forward is these animals are getting broadcast to all the time. So, what doesn't work, in terms of getting your issue to be important? You can send them an email. Well, unfortunately, I've got so many Viagra ads coming at me, your email is lost. It doesn't matter, it's spam. How about you get on the phone? Well, chances are I've got a droid who's picking up the phone, "Yes, they called, and they said they didn't like it." That doesn't move. Face to face would work, but it's hard to set it up. It's hard to get the context and actually get the communication to work. Yes, contributions actually do make a difference and they set a context for having a conversation, but it takes some time to build up. So what actually works? And the answer is rather strange. It's a letter. We live in a digital world, but we're fairly analog creatures. Letters actually work. Even the top dog himself takes time every day to read 10 letters that are picked out by staff. I can tell you that every official that I've ever worked with will tell you about the letters they get and what they mean. So, how are you going to write your letter? First of all, you're going to pick up an analog device: a pen. I know these are tough, and you may have a hard time getting your hand bent around it, but this is actually critical. you actually handwrite your letter. It is so novel to see this, that somebody actually picked up an analog device and has written to me. Second of all, I'm going to recommend that you get into a proactive stance and write to your elected officials at least once a month.</s>

But if Liz Cather already knew that the wolf wouldn’t kill her, then she could purposely act like she’s protecting them without endangering her own life.” “.....That would definitely raise her popularity,” Paul-san muses, seeming to have understood what Gilles was trying to get at. Wait a second. That’s clearly just reading too much into the situation. I mean, Liz-san is the heroine, you know! There’s no way she’d have to go through with such a meticulous plan just to gain a little favor within the school. Gilles’s hatred of Liz-san must have clouded his judgment and allowed him to have such biased thoughts. “She’s the real pestilence,” Gilles mutters vindictively, a half smile forming on his face. .....This is bad. “Gilles?” I say, looking him straight in the eyes. He must have noticed that I’m being serious right now, since he slowly shuts his mouth and looks back at me. “You’re thinking about this too subjectively. You need to consider only the facts that we’ve confirmed without letting your personal feelings affect your judgment,” I tell him quietly without averting my gaze. “Let’s focus solely on the wolf for a moment. So, we know that it came into our country from the Ravaal Kingdom, and that it somehow was able to sneak onto the magic academy’s grounds. We also know that after Liz-san managed to capture it, she let it go, and the next day it turned up dead.... From this information, what can we surmise?” I say, glancing around at the three of them. Each of their expressions just look somber. Certainly, I’m also very curious about who might have orchestrated this. But, as of right now, I can’t even guess. “....What about its collar?” Gilles asks, still not able to forget about the culprit, but Henry-Oniisama simply gives a small shake of his head. .....What? It didn’t have a collar? “Yeah, it didn’t have one.” “Could magic have been involved?” Outside of this country, there are very few people that are able to use magic. Only noble emigrants or expatriates from Duelkis should be able to wield it, so the three luminaries that were exiled by the king’s mother to the Ravaal Kingdom may very well be the only ones. Not to mention, although I’m not sure what positions they’ve taken up within Ravaal, I’m quite certain that if this incident was planned by them, the downfall of this country isn’t far. Just thinking about it logically, it becomes obvious that they’d be the most likely suspects. Uncle Will said there was likely three people who were banished. Three extraordinary people who were involved in government. To those three, destroying a little iron collar should be child’s play. Plus, it wouldn’t be surprising if they held a grudge against Duelkis. They have a clear motive. And they have the means. The only question remaining is why bother sending the wolf into the magic academy.....? It seems an oddly roundabout way to ascertain the academy’s current state of affairs. Maybe they wanted to test the current strength of the Duelkis Kingdom....? Wait.... didn’t the wolf appear near Liz-san? Sucking in a breath, I jerk my head up and turn towards Gilles. Gilles meets my gaze and we stare at each other hard for a moment before he gives a little nod of his head. It seems that he must be thinking the same thing as I am. His gray eyes shine brilliantly as he whispers, “So they were targeting Liz Cather?”</s>

Apparently, the witch came and gave it to her during the day. Along with an outrageous message. “That’s...did she really say that?” “Yep, she said you were annoying so don’t come back again. The medicine was in exchange for that.” It seems I was being a nuisance.......but with this, Tess would be saved. I took the medicine and went to Tess to give her the medicine immediately. The effect of the medicine was tremendous, and like with my mother, she was able to fully recover after two days. Tess was quite surprised. “What is this medicine.......I also dabble a bit in compounding, but the amount of skill level necessary to make this kind of medicine is.......” She started rambling on about something, but this was always the case when it came to something magic-related. The day after Tess made her full recovery, I headed to the witch’s house early in the morning. I wanted to thank her. She said to never come back again, but I really wanted to say thanks. I arrived at the witch’s house and started knocking on her door. But she didn’t come out. I continued knocking. And then kept on knocking. After knocking for a while, I heard the sound of a lock and the door opened. There was a goddess before me. After that, immediately after returning to the village, I started preparing to return to Harula. I couldn’t afford to stay here any longer. There were still a lot of people in the village who haven’t recovered from the disease, but there was nothing I could do even if I remained here, and it would be bad if me or Collie also caught the disease. Beck was also still waiting. And it would be winter soon. That night a feast was held for us. When asked my mother how she had obtained the money for this, she said that she sold the remaining potions that the witch had given Coco to a merchant who was passing through the village. She was overjoyed that she was able to sell it for a considerable price. But I was surprised upon hearing the purchase price. It was obviously bought at a high discount from what it was actually worth. Considering the effect, there was no doubt that it was above intermediate grade. It should be worth several gold coins in that case. But I couldn’t bring myself to say anything when I saw how happy my parents were. Collie also had a complicated expression on her face. After returning to Harula, we continued to take on subjugation requests. There were always goblins appearing. Because there wasn’t much food in the winter, sometimes the goblins would come close to the town. During the winter, I just helped get rid of goblins, but at the beginning of the new year, there was a period of heavy snowfall so I wasn’t able to do much. So I was relieved that I had saved my money like Beck told me to. Since I wasn’t able to leave the inn and had time to spare, I talked to Beck about the witch. Beck was quite interested and listened to my story.</s>

Since I can see the window misting over, the temperature might have dropped but being protected by a barrier, I don’t feel any colder. I imagine that if I make the wrong choice here, an ice spear might just come flying. I was messing around with her a bit as a revenge for them pressing Brass to me, but it looks like I overdid it. 「Why do I want to learn about it, huh? I just wanted to know about the medicine that was used on me in the past.」「... Sorry for intimidating you.」 Just as the pressure from Carol settled down, she wearily leaned back on her chair. She then places her hand over her face, probably thinking about something. Based on her reaction, it looks like that medicine isn’t just some regular commodity. Ignoring whether it’s well-known or not for now, that medicine might have been something categorized as a lethal drug or even poison. Since anyone unused to controlling magic power practically has a % chance of dying from it, it’s probably the type of medicine that’s forbidden to use for its lethality or as poison. 「You said that it was used on you, how frequent was it?」「Every single day. For the whole years since I was five until I escaped.」「You did well living through that.」「I just want to confirm, but that medicine was something that compressed magic power from magic stones and releases it inside a person’s body, right?」「Right, I haven’t seen it in person but that drug is highly valued among nobles as poison. After all, since it’s simply rampaging magic power, it doesn’t leave any traces behind unlike real poison. The berserk magic power eventually disperses on its own as well, so it’s quite ideal. Though lately, circuit analysis can be done too, so it’s use will be quite clear with one look. Due to how troublesome it is, not only is it forbidden for use, but it’s supposedly forbidden to even own them. Fortunately however, making it would need a considerable sum of money, so it shouldn’t appear anywhere without any reason.」「I think that you won’t die even if you drink it, Carol. It’s extremely bothersome though.」「I have absolutely no plans being made to drink that.」「Having taken it wouldn’t be a crime, right?」「If someone that was forced to drink a poison that’s forbidden to even possess could be seen as a criminal, then sure, it’s a crime.」 For some reason, Carol seems exhausted but was it really that shocking? Frankly, I didn’t feel much danger from that medicine, so I can’t really relate to her. But if I consider that Ciel on her own couldn’t endure it unless she turned her hair into circuits, then it might have been actually quite dangerous. In other words, at that stage, the duke was already taking his chances. His expectation was likely that Ciel would die and in the rare case that she survived, he would exploit her in some way. Given this, it’s possible that the duke was equally surprised as Ciel continued to live on, and discovering that she was a Dance Princess must have caused him immense disappointment. Though, as for me, all I can say is 「Still, now I get it. You have that allowed you to survive even after taking that drug. Of course you’ll be strong.」「The reason I survived was this.」 I combed Ciel’s long hair to my front, as though embracing it. As Carol’s gaze was nailed to the pure white hair, I began explaining. 「The result of forcing down the berserk magic power was this hair.」</s>

It was hard to see from all the rain and wind, but the lightning illuminated the dark and thick clouds for an instant, and there the silhouette of a castle could be seen. It was not just one or two people who saw it, but the entire crew.」「The silhouette of a giant castle floating somewhere in the sky, shrouded in stormy clouds. It did not happen just one time either, but it was seen again multiple times throughout different places. 」「Could that be the...!」「Yes, a castle in the sky, Mira.」 The second rumor was about a floating castle. Those were very common plot devices in fantasy stories, but hearing one could exist in that world she inadvertently stood up, and Fricca followed shortly. The two quickly ran outside the inn. 「If there really exists a floating castle, then I’m sure there are magic records we’ve never seen before stored in it.」「Ohh, that’s an unexpected reaction. You’re finally starting to sound like an actual spellcaster.」 That Fricca could react that way was hard to imagine for Mira, having only seen a different side of her before, but she still took that opportunity to tease her about it. Soon after Emera also came out of the inn. 「She always acts crazy when you’re around, but Fricca is usually pretty serious about her craft.」 She also followed up on Fricca, but then she grabbed Fricca’s hand that was about to reach Mira and twisted it. The sky they saw was dotted with white clouds, and Mira got excited thinking there could be a castle hidden in one of them. Meanwhile, Fricca’s cries of pain came from her side. After imagining all sorts of things hidden in the clouds, the three returned inside the inn. Mira then took the chair that somehow appeared much closer to her own and placed it a distance away, then sat down. Fricca also sat down at her side, and Mira just dramatically hung her head in silence. 「Ever since I heard that I also tend to look at the sky all the time.」 Sero smiled as he said that to Mira. Now that she knew about that, she felt like the next time she would travel with Pegasus, she would want to go even higher than before. Imagining all that, her lips slowly formed a smile. 「The only common factor from all the eye-witnesses was the sudden storm. They were all thrown into a storm, and inside of it saw the castle. I guess that storm is there to protect it from intruders.」「Yeah, that sounds possible. That has to be it.」 The two nodded at each other, then began imagining how the castle would look past the storm, floating in all its glory. They then started exchanging ideas of how it would be up there, and at first the other members felt left out, but eventually the conversation influenced them as well, and the five of them now fervently discussed how their ideal castle in the sky would look like. 「Looks like we got a bit too carried away.

It comes in handy. JN: So you don't want to hear everything that's out there? Girl: No. CL: And so she's phenomenal. And there's no way that you can't look at that as an overwhelming success. It is. It's a huge success story in modern medicine. However, despite this incredible facility that some cochlear implant users display with language, you turn on the radio and all of a sudden they can't hear music almost at all. In fact, most implant users really struggle and dislike music because it sounds so bad. And so when it comes to this idea of restoring beauty to somebody's life, we have a long way to go when it comes to audition. Now there are a lot of reasons for that. I mentioned earlier the fact that music is a different capacity because it's abstract. Language is very different. Language is very precise. In fact, the whole reason we use it is because it has semantic-specificity. When you say a word, what you care is that word was perceived correctly. You don't care that the word sounded pretty when it was spoken. Music is entirely different. When you hear music, if it doesn't sound good, what's the point? There's really very little point in listening to music when it doesn't sound good to you. The acoustics of music are much harder than those of language. And you can see on this figure, that the frequency range and the decibel range, the dynamic range of music is far more heterogeneous. So if we had to design a perfect cochlear implant, what we would try to do is target it to be able to allow music transmission. Because I always view music as the pinnacle of hearing. If you can hear music, you should be able to hear anything. Now the problems begin first with pitch perception. I mean, most of us know that pitch is a fundamental building block of music. And without the ability to perceive pitch well, music and melody is a very difficult thing to do -- forget about a harmony and things like that. Now this is a MIDI arrangement of Rachmaninoff's Prelude. Now if we could just play this. Okay, now if we consider that in a cochlear implant patient pitch perception could be off as much as two octaves, let's see what happens here when we randomize this to within one semitone. We would be thrilled if we had one semitone pitch perception in cochlear implant users. Go ahead and play this one. Now my goal in showing you that is to show you that music is not robust to degradation. You distort it a little bit, especially in terms of pitch, and you've changed it. And it might be that you kind of like that.</s>

Not sure what I'm going to do yet," I told Polly. Without hesitation, she replied, "I've had an abortion." Before Polly, no one had ever told me that she'd had an abortion. I'd graduated from college just a few months earlier and I was in a new relationship when I found out that I was pregnant. When I thought about my choices, I honestly did not know how to decide, what criteria I should use. How would I know what the right decision was? I worried that I would regret an abortion later. Coming of age on the beaches of Southern California, I grew up in the middle of our nation's abortion wars. I was born in a trailer on the third anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Our community was surfing Christians. We cared about God, the less fortunate, and the ocean. Everyone was pro-life. As a kid, the idea of abortion made me so sad that I knew if I ever got pregnant I could never have one. And then I did. It was a step towards the unknown. But Polly had given me a very special gift: the knowledge that I wasn't alone and the realization that abortion was something that we can talk about. Abortion is common. According to the Guttmacher Institute, one in three women in America will have an abortion in their lifetime. But for the last few decades, the dialogue around abortion in the United States has left little room for anything beyond pro-life and pro-choice. It's political and polarizing. But as much as abortion is hotly debated, it's still rare for us, whether as fellow women or even just as fellow people, to talk with one another about the abortions that we have. There is a gap. Between what happens in politics and what happens in real life, and in that gap, a battlefield mentality. An "are you with us or against us?" stance takes root. This isn't just about abortion. There are so many important issues that we can't talk about. And so finding ways to shift the conflict to a place of conversation is the work of my life. There are two main ways to get started. One way is to listen closely. And the other way is to share stories. So, 15 years ago, I cofounded an organization called Exhale to start listening to people who have had abortions. The first thing we did was create a talk-line, where women and men could call to get emotional support. Free of judgment and politics, believe it or not, nothing like our sevice had ever existed. We needed a new framework that could hold all the experiences that we were hearing on our talk-line.</s>

Yup, it’s a multiplication. That’s why this guy’s strength is off the chart. Isn’t the protagonist’s plot device a bit too OP? The seniors are not his match. Even teachers, if they are not careful, could be defeated by Mazell. Plus because of the + effect, Mazell can use every kind of weapon and magic. No surprise, the other students envy him and it’s not only because of his skill and his communication ability but because of me too. I heard some students are jealous of the fact that he and I became friends. Mainly because some young masters want to become friends with me, a talented young master from a count’s family and a hard worker (I just don’t want to die), but are too afraid since they have nothing on their name other than being a noble. A student went too far, so I gathered all evidence of his misdeed and lodged a complaint to the royal family via my father. That guy got disinherited by his family. Since the one that complained is a legitimate heir from a count household, and the country also doesn’t want to lose the man from oracle with precious [Hero] skill, they must have told the academy to launch a proper investigation. Later on, that guy and his lackey attacked me and Mazell out of spite, and of course, we beat them to a pulp. Our action is a bit too much in the academy’s eyes, so we got suspended. After the incident, my life at the academy has been pretty peaceful. But in a few years, this world will become chaotic because of the invasion of the demon king and the hero party will fight him. But this is not a game. I may be inside the game world, but my life and the people with whom I build a relationship here are all real. There was a time when me and my friends from school went to take a trip to a seaside town. I wanted to come to see the difference between the scenery inside the game and the real thing, but I also enjoyed the trip. There was also a time we studied for the final exam together. We also went to the festival. We went from one stall to the other and enjoyed our food. I also made Mazell participate in hunting, a so-called ‘noble pastime’. I wanted to visit Mazell’s hometown but unfortunately it’s located in a very remote area. I mean a village that is far from the capital, I didn’t have a chance to visit. In the academy extracurricular activity, we created a party and fought with actual monsters together. It’s an activity to train our practical combat skills, or so the teacher said. At night, we snuck out from the inn to drink. In this world where magic exists, the teacher probably noticed us but just let us go. Spending my life in the academy with great friends is really fun. It’s not like that I have forgotten my objective of staying alive, but once in a while, I think that taking a breather with friends is important. I don’t want to become burned out like in my past life...Wait, did I used to be a shut-in without any friends....?</s>

In any case, was the second son even Count Bachem’s biological son? Well, since this world didn’t have DNA tests, I guess no one would ever know. “Unable to bear with his wife constantly pushing him, the Count finally left his estate and stayed in the capital with his eldest son. While constantly hoping that his wife would die in an Rafed must have approached the Count because he needed someone to help him from inside. Rafed claimed to be a merchant, but also seemed to know a lot about poison. I remembered one of his men attempted to use a paralyzing poison back when Mazell’s family was kidnapped. in exchange for the Count helping him to bring the Hero’s family to the capital.” That was the reason!? What the hell? No wonder His Majesty was that angry. Ah, no, maybe the Count and his eldest son were constantly facing his wife’s assassination attempt, and that was why he took a desperate measure. I mean, the noble families were often chaotic behind the screen. Either way, I’d like to tell him to not involve others in his own family affair. “The Count explained to His Majesty that the reason why he did so was because the Hero was capable of killing two demon generals. He was a threat to our country, so for the sake of this country, the count wanted to chase Hero off while also sowing the seeds of political strife in another country.” “What did His Majesty say against that?” I asked while keeping my poker face perfect and my voice calm. I had expected that someone would someday say something like that against Mazell. Well, in Count Bachem’s case, it was used as a mere excuse and I was sure that His Majesty wouldn’t accept that excuse since if he did, that would be like declaring to the kingdom that the royal family saw Mazell as a threat. how could Sir’s personal opinion be an excuse for Sir to cooperate with another country to kidnap our people? I felt sorry for him, even though I didn’t want to sympathize with him. , the image that commonly came to mind was a room with stone walls and iron bars filled with several people. Commoners’ prisons in this world were like that too. On the other hand, the nobles’ prisons were different. A noble prison was more like a private room, although there was an iron bar in its window. Of course, there were also harsh prisons where the prisoners would be chained all day long....But the was a prison for criminals with heavy crime. It was about one meter high, centimeters wide, and centimeters deep. It was literally a hole surrounded by stone walls with only a thick board acting as a door.</s>

And the best weapon for that is a bow... And so I followed my instincts and unleashed an arrow at the eyeball that was on the other side of the glass window. “Gatling Burning Arrow!” The exploding arrows broke through the glass and shot towards the eyeball. After taking damage, the eyelids closed over it. And then...the attacks began. The glass windows all over the hospital shattered, and writhing, rotting tentacles invaded the building...! “Rise Rock Wall!” Gray slammed his weapon, which was a pickaxe, onto the ground, creating walls of rock that would cover the shattered windows. However, the walls were not enough to stop the momentum of the tentacles. “Mr. Kyuji. What should we do!?” “It seems like there is no way to stop the tentacles from getting in. And we can’t destroy them either! We have no choice but to crush the eyeballs!” There were fewer normal zombies now... Because the tentacles were blowing away the zombies with their attacks. They weren’t so much monsters as a stage gimmick...! And so everyone began to run around in search of the eyeballs. My guess was that they would be somewhere between the first floor and tenth floor of the central ward. While there were fewer of them, fighting the zombies while running up and down was not easy. You could not break the walls and floors of this hospital, so I couldn’t use I’m Arrow to go through it speedily. I just had to run on foot...! The number of tentacles kept increasing, which meant less space for us to move in. However, the eyeball only appeared in places that we could go. In other words, it was both harder and easier for us now. I jumped over a tentacle that lashed out like a whip. Well, the more tentacles there were, the more severe the attacks. I was starting to feel that things weren’t getting easier after all. But the worst thing of all, was that I lost contact with the others. Once the battle line had retracted all of the way to the seventh floor, we had finished gathering most of the items, and everyone had an earpiece. So I had gotten used to talking to them even when separated. And so I felt even more alone now. “Gar! Gar!” Only Garbow was nearby. As these rotting monsters had to be defeated in a special way, it was likely that Garbow’s AI would not be able to deal with them. And so I brought him with me. Juru...gujuru...ju... I heard sounds that were difficult to describe. It signaled that the tentacles were going to attack...! “Woah...!” A thick tentacle shot out from the floor and into the ceiling.

He's being flown like a kite, or moved around like a kite. And this is a Guinness World Record attempt. They asked me to open their 50th anniversary show in 2004. And again, technology meant that I could do the fastest abseil over 100 meters, and stop within a couple of feet of the ground without melting the rope with the friction, because of the alloys I used in the descender device. And that's Centre Point in London. We brought Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road to a standstill. Helicopter stunts are always fun, hanging out of them, whatever. And aerial stunts. No aerial stunt would be the same without skydiving. Which brings us quite nicely to why I'm really here today: Project Space Jump. In 1960, Joseph Kittenger of the United States Air Force did the most spectacular thing. He did a jump from 100,000 feet, 102,000 to be precise, and he did it to test high altitude systems for military pilots in the new range of aircraft that were going up to 80,000 feet or so. And I'd just like to show you a little footage of what he did back then. And just how brave he was in 1960, bear in mind. Project Excelsior, it was called. There were three jumps. They first dropped some dummies. So that's the balloon, big gas balloon. It's that shape because the helium has to expand. My balloon will expand to 500 times and look like a big pumpkin when it's at the top. These are the dummies being dropped from 100,000 feet, and there is the camera that's strapped to them. You can clearly see the curvature of the Earth at that kind of altitude. And I'm planning to go from 120,000 feet, which is about 22 miles. You're in a near vacuum in that environment, which is in minus 50 degrees. So it's an extremely hostile place to be. This is Joe Kittenger himself. Bear in mind, ladies and gents, this was 1960. He didn't know if he would live or die. This is an extremely brave man. I spoke with him on the phone a few months ago. He's a very humble and wonderful human being. He sent me an email, saying, "If you get this thing off the ground I wish you all the best." And he signed it, "Happy landings," which I thought was quite lovely. He's in his 80s and he lives in Florida. He's a tremendous guy. This is him in a pressure suit. Now one of the challenges of going up to altitude is when you get to 30,000 feet -- it's great, isn't it? -- When you get to 30,000 feet you can really only use oxygen.</s>

You're also talking about baseball. Because baseball is the dominant cultural metaphor that Americans use to think about and we know that because there's all this language in English that seems to be talking about baseball but that's really talking about sexual activity. So, for example, you can be a pitcher or a catcher, and that corresponds to whether you perform a sexual act or receive a sexual act. Of course, there are the bases, which refer to specific sexual activities that happen in a very specific order, ultimately resulting in scoring a run or hitting a home run, which is usually having vaginal intercourse to the point of orgasm, at least for the guy. You can strike out, which means you don't get to have any sexual activity. And if you're a benchwarmer, you might be a virgin or somebody who for whatever reason isn't in the game, maybe because of your age or because of your ability or because of your skillset. A bat's a penis, and a nappy dugout is a vulva, or a vagina. A glove or a catcher's mitt is a condom. A switch-hitter is a bisexual person, and we gay and lesbian folks play for the other team. And then there's this one: "if there's grass on the field, play ball." And that usually refers to if a young person, specifically often a young woman, is old enough to have pubic hair, she's old enough to have sex with. This baseball model is incredibly problematic. It's sexist. It's heterosexist. It's competitive. It's goal-directed. And it can't result in healthy sexuality developing in young people or in adults. So we need a new model. I'm here today to offer you that new model. And it's based on pizza. Now pizza is something that is universally understood and that most people associate with a positive experience. So let's do this. Let's take baseball and pizza and compare it when talking about three aspects of sexual activity: the trigger for sexual activity, what happens during sexual activity, and the expected outcome of sexual activity. So when do you play baseball? You play baseball when it's baseball season and when there's a game on the schedule. It's not exactly your choice. So if it's prom night or a wedding night or at a party or if our parents aren't home, hey, it's just batter up. Can you imagine saying to your coach, "Uh, I'm not really feeling it today, I think I'll sit this game out." That's just not the way it happens. And when you get together to play baseball, immediately you're with two opposing teams, one playing offense, one playing defense, somebody's trying to move deeper into the field. That's usually a sign to the boy. Somebody's trying to defend people moving into the field. That's often given to the girl.</s>

We have no geological record prior for the first billion years. That record exists on Mars. And this terrain that we're looking at dates back to 4.6 billion years when Earth and Mars were formed. It was a Tuesday. This is a map that shows where we've put our spacecraft on the surface of Mars. Here is Viking I, Viking II. This is Opportunity. This is Spirit. This is Mars Pathfinder. This is Phoenix, we just put two years ago. Notice all of our rovers and all of our landers have gone to the northern hemisphere. That's because the northern hemisphere is the region of the ancient ocean basin. There aren't many craters. And that's because the water protected the basin from being impacted by asteroids and meteorites. But look in the southern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere there are impact craters, there are volcanic craters. Here's Hellas Basin, a very very different place, geologically. Look where the methane is, the methane is in a very rough terrain area. What is the best way to unravel the mysteries on Mars that exist? We asked this question 10 years ago. We invited 10 of the top Mars scientists to the Langley Research Center for two days. We addressed on the board the major questions that have not been answered. And we spent two days deciding how to best answer this question. And the result of our meeting was a robotic rocket-powered airplane we call ARES. It's an Aerial Regional-scale Environmental Surveyor. There's a model of ARES here. This is a 20-percent scale model. This airplane was designed at the Langley Research Center. can build an airplane to fly on Mars, it's the Langley Research Center, for almost 100 years a leading center of aeronautics in the world. We fly about a mile above the surface. We cover hundreds of miles, and we fly about 450 miles an hour. We can do things that rovers can't do and landers can't do: We can fly above mountains, volcanoes, impact craters; we fly over valleys; we can fly over surface magnetism, the polar caps, subsurface water; and we can search for life on Mars. But, of equal importance, as we fly through the atmosphere of Mars, we transmit that journey, the first flight of an airplane outside of the Earth, we transmit those images back to Earth. And our goal is to inspire the American public who is paying for this mission through tax dollars. But more important we will inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. And that's a critical area of national security and economic vitality, to make sure we produce the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians and technologists.</s>

I would have never imagined that. Not in my wildest dreams did I think -- I don't even consider myself to be an author. And I'm often asked, "Why do you think so many people have read this? This thing's selling still about a million copies a month." And I think it's because spiritual emptiness is a universal disease. I think inside at some point, we put our heads down on the pillow and we go, "There's got to be more to life than this." Get up in the morning, go to work, come home and watch TV, go to bed, get up in the morning, go to work, come home, watch TV, go to bed, go to parties on weekends. A lot of people say, "I'm living." No, you're not living -- that's just existing. Just existing. I really think that there's this inner desire. I do believe what Chris said; I believe that you're not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but I believe God did. I think there are accidental parents; there's no doubt about that. I don't think there are accidental kids. And I think you matter. I think you matter to God; I think you matter to history; I think you matter to this universe. And I think that the difference between what I call the survival level of living, the success level of living, and the significance level of living is: Do you figure out, "What on Earth am I here for?" I meet a lot of people who are very smart, and say, "But why can't I figure out my problems?" And I meet a lot of people who are very successful, who say, "Why don't I feel more fulfilled? Why do I feel like a fake? Why do I feel like I've got to pretend that I'm more than I really am?" I think that comes down to this issue of meaning, of significance, of purpose. I think it comes down to this issue of: "Why am I here? What am I here for? Where am I going?" These are not religious issues. They're human issues. I wanted to tell Michael before he spoke that I really appreciate what he does, because it makes my life work a whole lot easier. As a pastor, I do see a lot of kooks. And I have learned that there are kooks in every area of life. Religion doesn't have a monopoly on that, but there are plenty of religious kooks. There are secular kooks; there are smart kooks, dumb kooks. There are people -- a lady came up to me the other day, and she had a white piece of paper -- Michael, you'll like this one -- and she said, "What do you see in it?"

Thinking so, Kaori’s cheeks were reddened and she took a peek at Hajime, but it was simply because Hajime didn’t want to create another Kouki or Hiyama. Even though he was in such a miserable appearance, clinging to the Cross Bitt, Viz quickly finished explaining to his father. As the talk advanced, a butler-like person came bringing in a powdered form of Serene Stone which Viz drank, who was still receiving Kaori’s healing magic. Thus, he was cured as if there was no obstacle to prevent him from being cured. Even so, it was only a feeling; the toxin itself was still inside his body’s liquid. It was simply the effect of Serene Stone doing its work. The toxin was merged with his body’s liquid, so there was possibility of it being excreted, and there was nothing more that could be done. “Well then, we should get going. Kaori, you go with Shia to the medical center where the patients are. Bring along Magic-Crystallization Stones. The rest will be securing the water. Lord, is there a broad space around 200 meters on all sides at the lowest?” “Hmm? Um, though there’s one in the farming area...” “Then, other than Kaori and Shia, we will go there. Shia, you must go to Yue if the Magic-Crystallization stones are full.” Hajime issued instruction to all of the members. What Hajime’s party needed to do was simple. Just like Viz’s case, Kaori will use “Holy Ground” to extract magic power from the patients little by little and delayed the disease’s progression using “Ten Thousand Heaven.” The extracted magic power will be stocked inside Magic-Crystallization stones. Then, it will be carried to and used by Yue to create water once they were filled. After he helped Yue create a reservoir, Hajime will go towards the Oasis. He was going to investigate the cause. He will solve it if he find the cause, but if not, he will just go to «Guryuu-en Great Volcano». It was such a plan. Everyone nodded vigorously towards Hajime’s instruction. Currently, the Lord, Randzi, the guards, and his attendants went to a corner of the farmland area in northern part of Ancadi, followed by Hajime, Yue, Tio, and Myuu. The plain was almost three times of the 200 meters on four sides. Normally, it was the place where a certain crop was grown, but it was now in its resting period. Currently, the dubious Randzi was staring dagger into Hajime’s party expressing that if not for the emergency situation, they would receive capital punishment. Although he truly wanted to secure water, common sense told him Hajime’s plan was an impossible one thus it couldn’t be helped that Randzi was glaring at him.</s>

It's a video game move from "Star Fox." "Star Fox 20"? Tom Green: Yeah. And they've been dogging me for a year. I got to tell you, it's driving me nuts, actually. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I scream, "4chan!" Christopher Poole: When I was 15, I found this website called Futaba Channel. And it was a Japanese forum and imageboard. That format of forum, at that time, was not well-known outside of Japan. And so what I did is I took it, I translated it into English, and I stuck it up for my friends to use. Now, six and a half years later, over seven million people are using it, contributing over 700,000 posts per day. And we've gone from one board to 48 boards. This is what it looks like. So, what's unique about the site is that it's anonymous, and it has no memory. There's no archive, there are no barriers, there's no registration. These things that we're used to with forums don't exist on 4chan. And that's led to this discussion that's completely raw, completely unfiltered. What the site's known for, because it has this environment, is it's fostered the creation of a lot of Internet phenomena, viral videos and whatnot, known as "memes." Two of the largest memes that have come out of this site some of you might be familiar with are these LOLcats -- just silly pictures of cats with text. And this resonates with millions of people, apparently, because there are tens of thousands of these, and there is a whole blogging empire now dedicated to pictures like these. And Rick Astley's kind of rebirth these past two years ... Rickroll was this bait and switch, really simple, classic bait and switch. Somebody says they're linking to something interesting, and you get an '80s pop song. That's all it was. And it got big enough to the point where there was a float last year at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and Rick Astley pops out, and rickrolls millions of people on television. There are thousands of memes that come out of the site. There are a handful that have escaped into the mainstream, the ones I've just shown you, but every day, every month, people are producing thousands of these. So does a site like this have rules? We do; they're the codified rules that I've come up with, which are more-or-less ignored by the community. And so they've come up with their own set of rules, the "Rules of the Internet." And so there are three that I want to show you specifically. Rule one is you don't talk about /b/.</s>

As I used the Song Princess’ buff this time, it probably just felt like a light jog for Ciel, but it’s really amazing how she can run for three hours straight. During my lifetime, how long could I run again? I’m at least confident that I won’t last even a minute when running in full sprint. And while I did say three hours, this is really just my rough estimation based on the sun’s movement, so there’s a large margin of error here. I’m not sure if the guild is crowded right now since we came at an awkward time, but it was luckily still empty, so we brought the herbs to the reception counter. Just in case, we decided to keep several herbs, other than the four-leaf clover, for ourselves. The receptionist was the same as the one from yesterday and it looked like she wanted to say something, but after seeing the large bundle of herbs, she was startled and quickly began dealing with them. Incidentally, we also tried asking her about methods of preserving plants for long periods of time and as expected, drying seems to be the best way. She said that herbs would last about one to two years that way. However, dried herbs are never accepted in requests unless the requestor allows it. Since it’s difficult to trace when herbs are dried, it could cause inventory problems and such. As soon as the validation was finished, we left the Hunter Guild. We don’t want any weird people going at us after all. And after that, I asked Ciel if I could borrow her body for the whole day. 『Ain wanting to borrow my body, that’s pretty unusual.』 Ciel’s pleasantly delighted voice echoes in my head. 『There’s something I’m personally curious about, but it’s a bit difficult to explain.』『It’s related to the potions, right?』『That’s right. But I myself don’t know how to start looking into it, so I was thinking of asking other people while making my judgment.』『So having me in between will make this take a lot of time, right?』『I’m sorry.』 Me taking control of the body means that I’m taking away Ciel’s time. Ideally, Ciel should be the one to live her own life and I should be only helping her live comfortably. But Ciel only asks me 『Why are you apologizing?』 like it’s no big deal. years old is about the age of elementary students in my former life and individuals at this age are also still considered to be children even here. While this might be based on my old world sentimentalities, now that I reflect on them, every day at around this age was extremely valuable. I know that having Ciel understand this value is difficult, so I can only reply to her with a vague smile. As we continued on, we arrived at the tool shop from before, so I opened the door and entered inside. Their product line-up hasn’t changed during these few days, so I immediately headed to the second floor. Having another close look around the second floor, I found potions at the place where the bandages and salves are sold. Rather, I guess it might be better to describe it as a potion area with bandages and salve sold as well. What they have for sale are basic and intermediate grade potions. I remember that the salves are for lower-ranked hunters, so I’m sure that even the basic-grade potions work in great effect. As proof, the basic-grade potions are still slightly more expensive than the high-grade salves. As for the intermediate-grade potions, they’re even more expensive than that.

Let's see if we can understand glucose response. I sent Nick off. Nick came back. "Russ," he said, "I've created a classifier that can look at the side effects of a drug based on looking at this database, and can tell you whether that drug is likely to change glucose or not." He did it. It was very simple, in a way. He took all the drugs that were known to change glucose and a bunch of drugs that don't change glucose, and said, "What's the difference in their side effects? Differences in fatigue? In appetite? In urination habits?" He said, "Russ, I can predict with 93 percent accuracy when a drug will change glucose." I said, "Nick, that's great." He's a young student, you have to build his confidence. "But Nick, there's a problem. It's that every physician in the world knows all the drugs that change glucose, because it's core to our practice. So it's great, good job, but not really that interesting, definitely not publishable." He said, "I know, Russ. I thought you might say that." Nick is smart. "I thought you might say that, so I did one other experiment. I looked at people in this database who were on two drugs, and I looked for signals similar, glucose-changing signals, for people taking two drugs, where each drug alone did not change glucose, but together I saw a strong signal." And I said, "Oh! You're clever. Good idea. Show me the list." And there's a bunch of drugs, not very exciting. But what caught my eye was, on the list there were two drugs: paroxetine, or Paxil, an antidepressant; and pravastatin, or Pravachol, a cholesterol medication. And I said, "Huh. There are millions of Americans on those two drugs." In fact, we learned later, 15 million Americans on paroxetine at the time, 15 million on pravastatin, and a million, we estimated, on both. So that's a million people who might be having some problems with their glucose if this machine-learning mumbo jumbo that he did in the FDA database actually holds up. But I said, "It's still not publishable, because I love what you did with the mumbo jumbo, with the machine learning, but it's not really standard-of-proof evidence that we have." So we have to do something else. Let's go into the Stanford electronic medical record. We have a copy of it that's OK for research, we removed identifying information. And I said, "Let's see if people on these two drugs have problems with their glucose."</s>

So for the cost of a house -- or around here, a garage -- you can put, you can have spinning all of the words in the Library of Congress. That's pretty neat. Then the question is, what do you get? You know, is it worth trying to get there? Do you actually want it online? Some of the first things that people do is they make book readers that allow you to search inside the books, and that's kind of fun. And you can download these things, and look around them in new and different ways. And you can get at them remotely, if you happen to have a laptop. There's starting to be some of these sort of page turn-y interfaces that look a whole lot like books in certain ways, and you can search them, make little tabs, and it's kind of cute -- still very book-like -- on your laptop. But I don't know, reading things on a laptop -- whenever I pull up my laptop, it always feels like work. I think that's one of the reasons why the Kindle is so great. I don't have to feel like I'm at work to read a Kindle. It's starting to be a little bit more specified. But I have to say that there's older technologies that I tend to like. I like the physical book. And I think we can go and use our technology to go and digitize things, put them on the Net, and then download, print them and bind them, and end up with books again. And we sort of said, well, how hard is this? And it turns out to not be very hard. We actually went off to make a bookmobile. And a bookmobile -- the size of a van with a satellite dish, a printer, binder and cutter, and kids make their own books. It costs about three dollars to download, print and bind a normal, old book. And they actually come out kind of nice looking. for on the order of one penny per page, sort of the parts cost for doing this. So the idea of -- this technology actually may end up putting books back in people's hands again. There are some other bookmobiles running around. This is Eric Eldred making books at Walden Pond -- Thoreau's works. This is just before he got kicked out by the Parks Services, In India, they've got another couple bookmobiles running around. And this is the opening day at the Library of Alexandria, the new Library of Alexandria, in Egypt. It was quite popularly attended. And kids starting to make their own books, and a happy kid with the first book that he's ever owned. So the idea of being able to use this technology to end up with paper where I can handle sort of sounds a little retro, but I think it still has its place. And being from the Silicon Valley, sort of utopian sort of world, we thought, if we can make this technology work in rural Uganda, we might have something.</s>

If he had time to take on jobs like this, he would instead want to take on the work more suited for their level and earn more. “M-My apologies! But it was all according to the guild’s regulations...” “Then go and f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g hire whoever investigated it!!

Long range...no, it was ultra range. Was there really a place where this would be useful? Having a range that was far superior to others was a good strategy. I would never abandon that. But I wasn’t sure that I could keep up this pace if I relied on Range alone. In a way, ‘Star Area Range’ was a lifesaver. My Range would continue to grow, just more slowly, and the abilities of the arrows would be enhanced...! As the bow was my only weapon, it made sense to raise my arrow abilities instead of my attack status. And in the future, if it turned out that I did need more Range...I could class change back to Bow Master. It was possible to go back to classes that you had before. And since the numbers of Range and Star Area Range were connected, my Range would continue to increase. Perhaps it would come in handy during a new event. This class change had now offered me a new option of switching. I would fight with these two pillars, Range and Star Area Range! “So, I was able to find the answer...to this question I had been asking myself.” There was no change in appearance for Sagittarius. While my arrow glowed brightly, I myself did not shine like gold. However, there was a difference that was even bigger for me than the status and skills. Attacking enemies from far away in order to defeat them without getting hit. That concept I would not change. But the distance between me and the enemy depended on the battle situation. Like this time, large enemies had wide-area attacks that I couldn’t avoid. However, at least I didn’t have to fight them close-quarters. I had the freedom of being able to always move around and still keep the enemy within range of my own attacks. And so my biggest weapon would continue to be Range. “This will be a new start for me.” I said to no one in particular. With this resolve in my heart...my adventure would continue.</s>

So the clock started ticking. I started seeking out triathletes because I found that lifelong swimmers often couldn't teach what they did. I tried kickboards. My feet would slice through the water like razors, I wouldn't even move. I would leave demoralized, staring at my feet. Hand paddles, everything. Even did lessons with Olympians -- nothing helped. And then Chris Sacca, who is now a dear friend mine, had completed an Iron Man with 103 degree temperature, said, "I have the answer to your prayers." And he introduced me to who is the founder of Total Immersion Swimming. That set me on the road to examining biomechanics. So here are the new rules of swimming, if any of you are afraid of swimming, or not good at it. The first is, forget about kicking. Very counterintuitive. So it turns out that propulsion isn't really the problem. Kicking harder doesn't solve the problem because the average swimmer only transfers about three percent of their energy expenditure into forward motion. The problem is hydrodynamics. So what you want to focus on instead is allowing your lower body to draft behind your upper body, much like a small car behind a big car on the highway. And you do that by maintaining a horizontal body position. The only way you can do that is to not swim on top of the water. The body is denser than water. 95 percent of it would be, at least, submerged naturally. So you end up, number three, not swimming, in the case of freestyle, on your stomach, as many people think, reaching on top of the water. But actually rotating from streamlined right to streamlined left, maintaining that fuselage position as long as possible. So let's look at some examples. This is Terry. And you can see that he's extending his right arm below his head and far in front. And so his entire body really is underwater. The arm is extended below the head. The head is held in line with the spine, so that you use strategic water pressure to raise your legs up -- very important, especially for people with lower body fat. Here is an example of the stroke. So you don't kick. But you do use a small flick. You can see this is the left extension. Then you see his left leg. Small flick, and the only purpose of that is to rotate his hips so he can get to the opposite side. And the entry point for his right hand -- notice this, he's not reaching in front and catching the water. Rather, he is entering the water at a 45-degree angle with his forearm, and then propelling himself by streamlining -- very important. Incorrect, above, which is what almost every swimming coach will teach you. Not their fault, honestly. And I'll get to implicit versus explicit in a moment.</s>

So what's biorobotics? Biorobotics is a very active field of research in robotics where people want to take inspiration from animals to make robots to go outdoors, like service robots or search and rescue robots or field robots. And the big goal here is to take inspiration from animals to make robots that can handle complex terrain -- stairs, mountains, forests, places where robots still have difficulties and where animals can do a much better job. The robot can be a wonderful scientific tool as well. There are some very nice projects where robots are used, like a scientific tool for neuroscience, for biomechanics or for hydrodynamics. And this is exactly the purpose of Pleurobot. So what we do in my lab is to collaborate with neurobiologists like Jean-Marie Cabelguen, a neurobiologist in Bordeaux in France, and we want to make spinal cord models and validate them on robots. And here we want to start simple. So it's good to start with simple animals like lampreys, which are very primitive fish, and then gradually go toward more complex locomotion, like in salamanders, but also in cats and in humans, in mammals. And here, a robot becomes an interesting tool to validate our models. And in fact, for me, Pleurobot is a kind of dream becoming true. Like, more or less 20 years ago I was already working on a computer making simulations of lamprey and salamander locomotion during my PhD. But I always knew that my simulations were just approximations. Like, simulating the physics in water or with mud or with complex ground, it's very hard to simulate that properly on a computer. Why not have a real robot and real physics? So among all these animals, one of my favorites is the salamander. You might ask why, and it's because as an amphibian, it's a really key animal from an evolutionary point of view. It makes a wonderful link between swimming, as you find it in eels or fish, and quadruped locomotion, as you see in mammals, in cats and humans. And in fact, the modern salamander is very close to the first terrestrial vertebrate, so it's almost a living fossil, which gives us access to our ancestor, the ancestor to all terrestrial tetrapods. So the salamander swims by doing what's called an anguilliform swimming gait, so they propagate a nice traveling wave of muscle activity from head to tail. And if you place the salamander on the ground, it switches to what's called a walking trot gait. In this case, you have nice periodic activation of the limbs which are very nicely coordinated with this standing wave undulation of the body, and that's exactly the gait that you are seeing here on Pleurobot.

Translate this from Japanese to English: ### JAPANESE: こうして荘厳であるけれど幻想的な抽象概念を伴った中世の神秘主義、魔術、錬金術、新プラトン主義哲学が現れました。それらのせいで、人間は自らの肉体を恥らいながら、それを創造主の祝福のうちへと被造物を同化することの障害物とみなすようになったのです。最後に、ランゲによれば、アリストテレスの未成熟な概念と西欧キリスト教の融合物である、スコラ哲学が現われました。その成果は知的な停滞でした。霧の中の方位磁石をもたない旅人が、道を進んだつもりで長い間さまよい、徒労のはてに出発点にいるのに気付くのと同じように、スコラ学者たちは、「同じ結び目を結んでは解き、同じ雲を沸き立たせては払って」、なん世紀もたってから、自分たちが古い立場に立っているのに気づいたのでした。アリストテレスが中世に及ぼし、またそれほどでないにしても今なお及ぼしている影響に関しては、一言意見を述べさせてください。どの分野かで人間の知力が偉大なことを成し遂げ、非凡な能力があることを示すと、他のどの分野でも同じような能力があると思い込む傾向があります。こうして神学者たちは、ニュートンが啓示の問題を扱っているという考えに慰めと安心を見出してきたのですが、彼が人生で一番脂ののりきった時期にまるで異った種類の考えにその力を注いだことで、神学的で歴史的な問題を扱うには当然資格を失しなったのはもちろん、それを扱う能力を増大させるどころから小さくさせる傾向にあることを彼らは忘れているのです。ゲーテは詩人としての確固たる名声から出発し、さらには博物学での彼の独断的な発見から出発して、ニュートンの色彩についての理論を打破しようと試みた『色彩論』を出版してドイツの画家たちに多大な影響を与えました。このニュートンの理論はあまりにも明白に不合理だと思えたので、ゲーテはその著者をペテン師だと見なし、相応の激しい言葉で非難したのです。博物学の分野ではゲーテは十分重要な発見をなしており、それで私たちは、彼が科学の側にも全霊を捧げて、詩人として得た名声と比肩しうるだけの名声に科学でも到達したにちがいないと、思いこんでしまっても当然です。観察が鋭いことや、たとえどんなに関係が薄く見えても、類比を発見すること、見分けられた類比にしたがって事実を分類し組織化することにおいて、ゲーテは比類のない能力を持っていました。科学的研究におけるこうした要素は詩人の修練に似つかわしいものです。しかし、その一方で、博物学の方面で才能豊かな精神は、もっと厳密に物理学とか力学といわれる科学の関しては、ほとんどその才能を奪いとられているのです。ゲーテはこうした状況にあったのです。彼は明確な力学的概念を定式化できませんでした。 ### ENGLISH: Then came the mysticism of the Middle Ages, Magic, Alchemy, the Neo-platonic philosophy, with its visionary though sublime abstractions, which caused men to look with shame upon their own bodies as hindrances to the absorption of the creature in the blessedness of the Creator. Finally came the Scholastic philosophy, a fusion, according to Lange, of the least-mature notions of Aristotle with the Christianity of the West. Intellectual immobility was the result. As a traveller without a compass in a fog may wander long, imagining he is making way, and find himself after hours of toil at his starting point, so the schoolmen, having 'tied and untied the same knots and formed and dissipated the same clouds,' found themselves at the end of centuries in their old position. With regard to the influence wielded by Aristotle in the Middle Ages, and which, though to a less extent, he still wields, I would ask permission to make one remark. When the human mind has achieved greatness and given evidence of extraordinary power in any domain, there is a tendency to credit it with similar power in all other domains. Thus theologians have found comfort and assurance in the thought that Newton dealt with the question of revelation, forgetful of the fact that the very devotion of his powers, through all the best years of his life, to a totally different class of ideas, not to speak of any natural disqualification, tended to render him less instead of more competent to deal with theological and historic questions. Goethe, starting from his established greatness as a poet, and indeed from his positive discoveries in Natural History, produced a profound impression among the painters of Germany when he published his 'Farbenlehre' in which he endeavoured to overthrow Newton's theory of colours. This theory seemed so obviously absurd that he considered the author a charlatan, and attacked him with a corresponding vehemence of language. In the domain of Natural History Goethe had made fully considerable discoveries; and we have high authority for assuming that, had he devoted himself wholly to that side of science, he might have reached in it an eminence comparable with that which he attained as a poet. In sharpness of observation, in the detection of analogies, however apparently remote, in the classification and organization of facts according to the analogies discerned, Goethe possessed extraordinary powers. These elements of scientific inquiry fall in with the discipline of the poet. But, on the other hand, a mind thus richly endowed in the direction of natural history may be almost shorn of endowment as regards the more strictly called physical and mechanical sciences. Goethe was in this condition. He could not formulate distinct mechanical conceptions;</s>

Not long after, with a bitter face, the captain opened his mouth. “It wasn’t a pleasant scenery but you might have to take a look around Valeritz on your own, Sir” I don’t know what exactly is happening here but for now, let’s just nod. After that, I will come to thoroughly regret my decision. “Urgh...” “This...How should I describe it...” After saying that, both Neurath and Schunzel were speechless. I, too, don’t know what to say after seeing this scene. The things that were probably the castle walls are now just a pile of stones. There’s no sign of people... Hell, there’s not even any sign of life. How to describe it... it’s like this entire place has just suffered from an air raid. And the worst part is that stuff which makes me think that it would be a bit better if I at least saw it during the day... “The smell is also terrible.” “It’s probably been a few days since Valeritz became like this so there’s nothing we can do about the smell.” As I was listening to the conversation of the two, I gazed at the scene in front of me. Crumbled war, the burning remains of houses, and various household items scattered on the road. Along with... a blackened and dried sea of blood, meat and bones. If it’s only a creature of the size of a rat, then the demon can swallow them whole. But on the contrary, if the demon eats a bigger creature, they leave some remains just like the scattered pieces of blood, meat and bones I am currently seeing. No one knows if they belonged to dogs, cats, horses, or humans. No wonder the 2nd division choose to stay outside of Valeritz. The current Valeritz not only will make you feel sick physiologically but it might also be the source of infectious diseases. With Valeritz’s current state, it will be better to just burn this entire place to the ground. It’s no wonder that the Count is still missing. Now, the group that caused this kind of atrocity is heading to Finoi. Seeing this scene makes Dreax look gentle. I might have underestimated the demon army. “Continuously seeing this scene might make me feel sick. Let’s return.” “Yes.” I sigh as I see a small shoe with just an ankle inside of it at the corner of the road. This isn’t good. I feel depressed but at the same time I can feel anger boiling inside of me. Though the thing I’m angry with isn’t here. Damn it. I should’ve understood that this is not a game, but I still felt nauseated when I saw that scene. I don’t want to become a person that feels perfectly calm while seeing such a massacre though. With a rather pale expression, the three of us made our way to return to the Zeacert’s army encampment. When we were just short of reaching the simple encampment, an unexpected voice stopped our track. “Ah, Big bro!” Feli!? Why are you here!?</s>

Mobility, as most other developing country problems, more than a matter of money or technology, is a matter of equality, equity. The great inequality in developing countries makes it difficult to see, for example, that in terms of transport, an advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport. Or bicycles: For example, in Amsterdam, more than 30 percent of the population uses bicycles, despite the fact that the Netherlands has a higher income per capita than the United States. There is a conflict in developing world cities for money, for government investment. If more money is invested in highways, of course there is less money for housing, for schools, for hospitals, and also there is a conflict for space. There is a conflict for space between those with cars and those without them. Most of us accept today that private property and a market economy is the best way to manage most of society's resources. However, there is a problem with that, that market economy needs inequality of income in order to work. Some people must make more money, some others less. Some companies succeed. Others fail. Then what kind of equality can we hope for today with a market economy? I would propose two kinds which both have much to do with cities. The first one is equality of quality of life, especially for children, that all children should have, beyond the obvious health and education, access to green spaces, to sports facilities, to swimming pools, to music lessons. And the second kind of equality is one which we could call "democratic equality." The first article in every constitution states that all citizens are equal before the law. That is not just poetry. It's a very powerful principle. For example, if that is true, a bus with 80 passengers has a right to 80 times more road space than a car with one. We have been so used to inequality, sometimes, that it's before our noses and we do not see it. Less than 100 years ago, women could not vote, and it seemed normal, in the same way that it seems normal today to see a bus in traffic.</s>

Geoffrey Canada: Well, you know, John, 100 percent of our kids graduated high school last year in my school. A hundred percent of them went to college. This year's seniors will have 100 percent graduating high school. Last I heard we had 93 percent accepted to college. We'd better get that other seven percent. So that's just how this goes. JL: So how do you stick with them after they leave high school? GC: Well, you know, one of the bad problems we have in this country is these kids, the same kids, these same vulnerable kids, when you get them in school, they drop out in record numbers. And so we've figured out that you've got to really design a network of support for these kids that in many ways mimics what a good parent does. They harass you, right? They call you, they say, "I want to see your grades. How'd you do on that last test? What are you talking about that you want to leave school? And you're not coming back here." So a bunch of my kids know you can't come back to Harlem because Geoff is looking for you. They're like, "I really can't come back." No. You'd better stay in school. But I'm not kidding about some of this, and it gets a little bit to the grit issue. When kids know that you refuse to let them fail, it puts a different pressure on them, and they don't give up as easy. So sometimes they don't have it inside, and they're, like, "You know, I don't want to do this, but I know my mother's going to be mad." Well, that matters to kids, and it helps get them through. We try to create a set of strategies that gets them tutoring and help and support, but also a set of encouragements that say to them, "You can do it. It is going to be hard, but we refuse to let you fail." JL: Well, thank you Dr. Canada. Please give it up for him one more time.</s>

[I am the one who crosses from world to world.] I scanned the faces of others around me while seated, but none of them exhibited any signs of astonishment or disorientation. Perhaps it was an indication that I was the only one who could hear this voice (or that the others simply didn’t display it on their faces the way I did). [The one that brings transformation to the stagnant world.] Nevertheless, it seemed that the world we were residing in was forsaken by God at some point. Certainly, it was true that no new technology has been developed in the past few decades, and the issues of food supply and war had spiraled out of control, but I still believed that God was irresponsible in abandoning the world.

My instincts, which were practically non-existent due to my peace of mind, were screaming, “Something’s gone haywire.” [I’m going to have you quit being a human being.] “Haaaaahhhhhhhh!?” When I noticed that there were eyes all over me, I completely overlooked them and involuntarily let out a scream. Damn. The way they are shooting their glances at me is really painful. Or rather, it is too excruciating. For the time being, I should depart this place. After all, those glances that were directed at me implied, “What the hell is he doing?”. I headed to an empty classroom at the university.

I beat down the remaining four Goblins, slit their throats with my wrist claw, and tripped their legs with threads and crushed their jaws with a stomp. I roundhouse kicked the remaining one too. By then, I noticed that something was blocking the sunlight. While I was busy dealing with the Goblins, the Goblin Lord had managed to approach me. It already had its rock raised overhead, with an expression convinced of its victory. However, to me who had threads now, that action could be called fatal for the Lord. I immediately flew the thread to twine it around its raised arm at the elbow along with its neck. All that was left was for it to swing down its arm and strangle itself. It was the same strategy I used against the twin-bladed Devil. Convinced of our respective victories, smiles appeared on our faces. And then, the Goblin Lord started to slowly swing its arm down— Only for a steel arrow to pierce through its head.</s>

That insight is what moved me to write my book "The True American." This immigrant begging America to be as merciful to a native son as it had been to an adopted one. In the mini-mart, all those years earlier, not just two men, but two Americas collided. An America that still dreams, still strives, still imagines that tomorrow can build on today, and an America that has resigned to fate, buckled under stress and chaos, lowered expectations, an ducked into the oldest of refuges: the tribal fellowship of one's own narrow kind. And it was Raisuddin, despite being a newcomer, despite being attacked, despite being homeless and traumatized, who belonged to that republic of dreams and Stroman who belonged to that other wounded country, despite being born with the privilege of a native white man. I realized these men's stories formed an urgent parable about America. The country I am so proud to call my own wasn't living through a generalized decline as seen in Spain or Greece, where prospects were dimming for everyone. America is simultaneously the most and the least successful country in the industrialized world. Launching the world's best companies, even as record numbers of children go hungry. Seeing life-expectancy drop for large groups, even as it polishes the world's best hospitals. America today is a sprightly young body, hit by one of those strokes that sucks the life from one side, while leaving the other worryingly perfect. On July 20, 2011, right after a sobbing Raisuddin testified in defense of Stroman's life, Stroman was killed by lethal injection by the state he so loved. Hours earlier, when Raisuddin still thought he could still save Stroman, the two men got to speak for the second time ever. Here is an excerpt from their phone call. Raisuddin: "Mark, you should know that I am praying for God, the most compassionate and gracious. I forgive you and I do not hate you. I never hated you." Stroman: "You are a remarkable person. Thank you from my heart. I love you, bro." Even more amazingly, after the execution, Raisuddin reached out to Stroman's eldest daughter, Amber, an ex-convinct and an addict. and offered his help. "You may have lost a father," he told her, "but you've gained an uncle." He wanted her, too, to have a second chance.</s>

And when they finished, we took it, we put it under the table, and we said, "Would you like to build another one, this time for $2.70?" If they said yes, we gave them another one, "Do you want to build another one?" for $2.40, $2.10, and so on, until at some point people said, "No more. It's not worth it for me." This was what we called the meaningful condition. People built one Bionicle after another. After they finished every one of them, we put them under the table. And we told them that at the end of the experiment, we will take all these Bionicles, we will disassemble them, we will put them back in the boxes, and we will use it for the next participant. There was another condition. This other condition was inspired by David, my student. And this other condition we called the Sisyphic condition. And if you remember the story about Sisyphus, Sisyphus was punished by the gods to push the same rock up a hill, and when he almost got to the end, the rock would roll over, and he would have to start again. And you can think about this as the essence of doing futile work. You can imagine that if he pushed the rock on different hills, at least he would have some sense of progress. Also, if you look at prison movies, sometimes the way that the guards torture the prisoners is to get them to dig a hole, and when the prisoner is finished, they ask him to fill the hole back up and then dig again. There's something about this cyclical version of doing something over and over and over that seems to be particularly demotivating. So in the second condition of this experiment, that's exactly what we did. We asked people, "Would you like to build one Bionicle for three dollars?" And if they said yes, they built it. Then we asked them, "Do you want to build another one for $2.70?" And if they said yes, we gave them a new one, and as they were building it, we took apart the one that they just finished. And when they finished that, we said, "Would you like to build another one, this time for 30 cents less?" And if they said yes, we gave them the one that they built and we broke. So this was an endless cycle of them building, and us destroying in front of their eyes. Now what happens when you compare these two conditions? The first thing that happened was that people built many more Bionicles -- eleven in the meaningful condition, versus seven in the Sisyphus condition. And by the way, we should point out that this was not big meaning. People were not curing cancer or building bridges. People were building Bionicles for a few cents. And not only that, everybody knew that the Bionicles would be destroyed quite soon. So there was not a real opportunity for big meaning.</s>

As thine eye observeth others, so again are the eyes of others upon thee. How sweet and pleasant is it to see zealous and godly brethren temperate and of good discipline; and how sad is it and grievous to see them walking disorderly, not practising the duties to which they are called. How hurtful a thing it is to neglect the purpose of their calling, and turn their inclinations to things which are none of their business. 6. Be mindful of the duties which thou hast undertaken, and set always before thee the remembrance of the Crucified. Truly oughtest thou to be ashamed as thou lookest upon the life of Jesus Christ, because thou hast not yet endeavoured to conform thyself more unto Him, though thou hast been a long time in the way of God. A religious man who exercises himself seriously and devoutly in the most holy life and passion of our Lord shall find there abundantly all things that are profitable and necessary for him, neither is there need that he shall seek anything better beyond Jesus. Oh! if Jesus crucified would come into our hearts, how quickly, and completely should we have learned all that we need to know! 7. He who is earnest receiveth and beareth well all things that are laid upon him. He who is careless and lukewarm hath trouble upon trouble, and suffereth anguish upon every side, because he is without inward consolation, and is forbidden to seek that which is outward. He who is living without discipline is exposed to grievous ruin. He who seeketh easier and lighter discipline shall always be in distress, because one thing or another will give him displeasure. 8. O! if no other duty lay upon us but to praise the Lord our God with our whole heart and voice! Oh! if thou never hadst need to eat or drink, or sleep, but wert always able to praise God, and to give thyself to spiritual exercises alone; O! that these necessities were not, but only the spiritual refreshments of the soul, which alas we taste too seldom. 9. When a man hath come to this, that he seeketh comfort from no created thing, then doth he perfectly begin to enjoy God, then also will he be well contented with whatsoever shall happen unto him. Then will he neither rejoice for much nor be sorrowful for little, but he committeth himself altogether and with full trust unto God,</s>
