We have blended families, adopted families, we have nuclear families living in separate houses and divorced families living in the same house. But through it all, the family has grown stronger. Eight in 10 say the family they have today is as strong or stronger than the family they grew up in. Now, here's the bad news. Nearly everyone is completely overwhelmed by the chaos of family life. Every parent I know, myself included, feels like we're constantly playing defense. Just when our kids stop teething, they start having tantrums. Just when they stop needing our help taking a bath, they need our help dealing with cyberstalking or bullying. And here's the worst news of all. Our children sense we're out of control. Ellen Galinsky of the Families and Work Institute asked 1,000 children, "If you were granted one wish about your parents, what would it be?" The parents predicted the kids would say, spending more time with them. They were wrong. The kids' number one wish? That their parents be less tired and less stressed. So how can we change this dynamic? Are there concrete things we can do to reduce stress, draw our family closer, and generally prepare our children to enter the world? I spent the last few years trying to answer that question, traveling around, meeting families, talking to scholars, experts ranging from elite peace negotiators to Warren Buffett's bankers to the Green Berets. I was trying to figure out, what do happy families do right and what can I learn from them to make my family happier? I want to tell you about one family that I met, and why I think they offer clues. At 7 p.m. on a Sunday in Hidden Springs, Idaho, where the six members of the Starr family are sitting down to the highlight of their week: the family meeting. The Starrs are a regular American family with their share of regular American family problems. David is a software engineer. Eleanor takes care of their four children, ages 10 to 15. One of those kids tutors math on the far side of town. One has lacrosse on the near side of town.</s>

Please give me the report.” “Yes, sir. We succeeded in eliminating all demons inside the village. We have yet to confirm that all fire has been extinguished, but for the time being the village should be safe.” The most senior knight answered me. As expected for someone that Max recommended to me, he’s pretty calm. He must have done a pretty good job in my absence. “What about the injured?” “Some villagers are injured but we are still in the middle of confirming the total number of people. The injuries of the innkeeper have recovered, and his life is no longer in danger. We used all our potions. As for us, people suffered minor injuries.” I bowed my head out of habit and the knights were panicking. I know that as a noble, and a commander to boot, I can’t easily lower my head. However, this time, they were dragged here because of my recklessness so I need to do at least this much. “U...Um... Thank you for saving her...” When Mazell’s mother is about to bow, Neurath and Mazell suddenly become alert. It’s not because of Mazell’s mother. In the direction, they are both gazing, there’s a wrinkled old man who brought several male villagers rushing towards us. As I began to wonder if that old man appeared in the game, the old man pointed to Mazell’s family and shouted, “IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!” Excuse me??</s>
Translate this from Japanese to English: ### JAPANESE: 昇華魔法は〝存在するものの情報に干渉する魔法〟というのが、より正確な定義だった。能力が一段進化するというのは、例えばレベル1という身体情報に干渉して、レベル2に引き上げるというもの。根本に至れば、あらゆる既存の物体に対し、その情報の閲覧と干渉が可能になる。ハジメ達が今まで認識していたそれぞれの神代魔法の名称は、人の身で干渉できる限界を考慮して名付けられたのだろう。ちなみに、〝導越の羅針盤〟は、魂魄魔法により使用者の望むものを汲み取り、その対象を空間魔法によって空間的な隔たりや距離を無視して探査し、昇華魔法によって対象の情報を補足するというものらしい。いずれも、そのままの神代魔法では成し得ないことだ。その辺りのこともハジメが追加で説明すると、雫が難しそうな表情になった。「なるほどね。本当に、大きな、それでいて根本的な事柄に干渉できる魔法なのね。人が触れていい領域を超えているように思えるわ。......でも、そうすると、まだ帰還の為の概念魔法は生み出せそうにないってことかしら? 聞く限り、相当難易度が高いように感じるけれど......」「まぁ、確かに難しくはある。リューティリスが極限の意思なんてふわっとした説明をしていたが、実際、その通りなんだよな。魂魄魔法と昇華魔法で〝望み〟を概念レベルまで引き上げて、それに魔力を付与して無理矢理事象を現出させる......簡単にいうと、そういうことなんだが、普通は昇華魔法を使ったところで成功はしない」それどころか、概念魔法は、その時の意思を元にするので一度発現したからといって次回以降も安定して使えるというわけではないのだ。通常は一回こっきりの魔法となってしまう。「......ん。ハジメの生成魔法で羅針盤みたいに物へ付与しないと」「そうだな。ユエの魔法に対する制御能力と俺の錬成......息を合わせて世界を越える為の概念を付与したアーティファクトを作る。だが、召喚防止の為の概念も、となると......少し時間がかかりそうだ」「出来なくはないんですね?」「当たり前だろう? 何が何でも成功させる。その為に足掻いて来たんだ。帰還のアーティファクトだけなら直ぐに取り掛かれるし、奴らからの干渉を防ぐ概念も必ず編み出してやる」ハジメの瞳が、ゴゥ! と炎を宿したように見えた。過酷な環境を生き延びて、切望し続けた帰郷に手が掛かったのだ。こんな場所で躓いているわけにはいかないという強烈なまでの意思が瞳を煌めかせる。 ### ENGLISH: Expressing sublimation magic as ‘magic that interfere with the information of existing thing’ was more accurate definition. Its function that evolved an ability by a level was, for example, interfering a body information that said level 1 and raised it up to level 2. If the user reached the root, it was possible to browse and interfere with the information of all existing object. The names of the age of god magic that Hajime and others recognized until now were only given by taking into consideration the interference that was possible to be done using the human body. By the way, the ‘compass of guidance’ used soul magic to surmise what the user was wishing for, then using space magic it ignored the spatial gap and distance and searched the target, it seemed that the compass used sublimation magic to supplement the information of the target. All of those functions couldn’t be accomplished using the age of magic as they did until now. After Hajime explained about those things too, in addition, Shizuku’s expression turned complicated. “I see now. This is real, big, and yet these magics can interfere with fundamental matter. It seems that these surpassed the territory that humans can touch. ... But, after hearing all those, I guess that you two still cannot create the concept magic for the sake of returning home then? Based on what I heard, it feels like it has considerable difficulty...” “Well, certainly it will be difficult. Luluo explained it lightly as the purpose of the utmost limits or something, but in reality, it’s exactly as she said. We need to raise up our ‘wish’ using soul magic and sublimation magic until concept level, then we need to grant it magic power and forcefully materialize it... saying it simply it’s like that, but normally it won’t succeed even using sublimation magic.” On the contrary, in concept magic the user needed the purpose of that time as the base, so just because it succeeded to be used once didn’t mean in the next times from then on it would be stable to use. Normally it became a magic that was just onetime use. “... Nn. We have to use Hajime’s creation magic to endow the concept magic to something like the compass.” “That’s right. Yue’s control ability for magic and my transmutation... we need to match our breath and create an artifact endowed with the concept to cross the worlds. But, we also need a concept for preventing summoning here again, like that... it will take some time for those.” “It’s not impossible, right?” “Isn’t that obvious? I’ll make it a success no matter what. I crawled until here for that sake. I can start right away for the returning home artifact, I’ll work out the concept for defending against interference from those guys too without fail.” Hajime’s eyes looked like it was blazing up fiercely. He had survived through a severe environment and continued to wish earnestly to return home. It was unforgivable to stumble in this kind of place, such fierce will was gleaming inside his eyes.</s>

Sitting in the hot spring at this moment, Mitrof thought that it wasn’t so bad. Being shoulder to shoulder with a total stranger with a beast’s head was an interesting experience. Mitrof repeated the phrase ‘the joy of living.’ “Ah, this feels good.” “Exactly—hot springs are truly amazing.” Mitrof and the man with the beast’s head sometimes exchanged conversation as if they’d suddenly remembered. When the conversation ebbed, they’d fall silent and stare thoughtfully at the scenery. Occasionally, someone who seemed familiar with the man with the beast’s head would pass by. They would wave and exchange a few words before moving on. “Being in a hot spring means being liberated—not forced, not rushed.” The man with the beast head said as he rumbled his throat. Looking up at the ceiling, Mitrof nodded vigorously. “Baths are the best.” The two of them remained in the hot spring, listless, for a while. Amazingly, the public bath is never closed for hours. Regardless of whether it is late at night or early in the morning, one can always soak in the tub. Because it is run by the government, it is there as a paradise for people, disregarding profits and relieving their fatigue. For adventurers returning from the labyrinth, there is neither morning nor night, and those who work with adventurers have irregular lives. Bakers start working from late at night, and lower-ranking officials and soldiers working in the royal castle also have changing work hours from morning to night. Tired people exist at any time. There are people who want to take a bath. Mitrof and the beast-headed man got out of the bath at the same time. Mitrof was a little dizzy. “You’ll feel that way when you’re not used to the hot water—the body gets too hot. It’s essential to drink plenty of fluids before entering.” They left the bathhouse under the beast-headed man’s direction. He thought it was only a dressing room, but there was a resting area beyond the shelves. There were wooden benches, and naked men were sitting and chatting. Menial workers were blowing wind with large fans. The beast-headed man ordered something at the reception by the wall and came back with a wooden jug in both hands. “Here, drink this.” “What is this...?” Looking closely, it was a white liquid with foaming bubbles. “It’s Milk Ale—try it—It will make you fly.” Saying that, the beast-headed man swung the jug and gulped it down. Mitrof stared fixedly at the contents of the jug. It seemed to be some kind of milk. But isn’t ale beer? Perhaps the two were mixed together. Would it be delicious?</s>

So we are pursuing this line of work and hopefully we'll have more results to report soon. Looking ahead, if you think of this disk as representing all of the children we've treated so far, this is the magnitude of the problem. The red dots are the children we have not treated. So, there are many, many more children who need to be treated, and in order to expand the scope of the project, we are planning on launching The Prakash Center for Children, which will have a dedicated pediatric hospital, a school for the children we are treating and also a cutting-edge research facility. The Prakash Center will integrate health care, education and research in a way that truly creates the whole to be greater than the sum of the parts. So, to summarize: Prakash, in its five years of existence, it's had an impact in multiple areas, ranging from basic neuroscience plasticity and learning in the brain, to clinically relevant hypotheses like in autism, the development of autonomous machine vision systems, education of the undergraduate and graduate students, and most importantly in the alleviation of childhood blindness. And for my students and I, it's been just a phenomenal experience because we have gotten to do interesting research, while at the same time helping the many children that we have worked with. Thank you very much.</s>

When I first went in there, I walked into the freshmen dining hall, which is where my friends from Waco, Texas, which is where I grew up -- I know some of you know this. When they'd visit, they'd look around, and say, "This dining hall looks like something out of Hogwart's." It does, because that was Hogwart's and that's Harvard. And when they see this, they say, "Why do you waste your time studying happiness at Harvard? What does a Harvard student possibly have to be unhappy about?" Embedded within that question is the key to understanding the science of happiness. Because what that question assumes is that our external world is predictive of our happiness levels, when in reality, if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10% of your long-term happiness. 90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world. And if we change it, if we change our formula for happiness and success, we can change the way that we can then affect reality. What we found is that only 25% of job successes are predicted by IQ, 75 percent of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat. I talked to a New England boarding school, probably the most prestigious one, and they said, "We already know that. So every year, instead of just teaching our students, we have a wellness week. And we're so excited. Monday night we have the world's leading expert will speak about adolescent depression. Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying. Wednesday night is eating disorders. Thursday night is illicit drug use. And Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex or happiness." I said, "That's most people's Friday nights." Which I'm glad you liked, but they did not like that at all. Silence on the phone. And into the silence, I said, "I'd be happy to speak at your school, but that's not a wellness week, that's a sickness week. You've outlined all the negative things that can happen, but not talked about the positive." The absence of disease is not health. Here's how we get to health: We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success.</s>

You're at the threshold of the Sistine Chapel. So what are you expecting? Soaring domes? Choirs of angels? We don't really have any of that there. Instead, you may ask yourself, what do we have? Well, curtains up on the Sistine Chapel. And I mean literally, you're surrounded by painted curtains, the original decoration of this chapel. Churches used tapestries not just to keep out cold during long masses, but as a way to represent the great theater of life. The human drama in which each one of us plays a part is a great story, a story that encompasses the whole world and that came to unfold in the three stages of the painting in the Sistine Chapel. Now, this building started out as a space for a small group of wealthy, educated Christian priests. They prayed there. They elected their pope there. Five hundred years ago, it was the ultimate ecclesiastical man cave. So, you may ask, how can it be that today it attracts and delights five million people a year, from all different backgrounds? Because in that compressed space, there was a creative explosion, ignited by the electric excitement of new geopolitical frontiers, which set on fire the ancient missionary tradition of the Church and produced one of the greatest works of art in history. Now, this development took place as a great evolution, moving from the beginning of a few elite, and eventually able to speak to audiences of people that come from all over the world. This evolution took place in three stages, each one linked to a historical circumstance. The first one was rather limited in scope. It reflected the rather parochial perspective. The second one took place after worldviews were dramatically altered after Columbus's historical voyage; and the third, when the Age of Discovery was well under way and the Church rose to the challenge of going global. The original decoration of this church reflected a smaller world. There were busy scenes that told the stories of the lives of Jesus and Moses, reflecting the development of the Jewish and Christian people. The man who commissioned this, Pope Sixtus IV, assembled a dream team of Florentine art, including men like Sandro Botticelli and the man who would become Michelangelo's future painting teacher, Ghirlandaio. These men, they blanketed the walls with a frieze of pure color, and in these stories you'll notice familiar landscapes, the artists using Roman monuments or a Tuscan landscape to render a faraway story, something much more familiar. With the addition of images of the Pope's friends and family, this was a perfect decoration for a small court limited to the European continent.</s>

Usually, the first step would be holding her hand or patting her head, and she realized that was where she should have started. But the first time Mira had touched her was to wipe her tears, so she instinctively touched her the same way again. Still, gently caressing a girl’s cheek like that was a pretty bold act. 「Anyway, let’s eat before it gets cold!」 Trying to mask her internal struggle, Mira quickly put her hand away and sat on the couch again. 「Yes, of course.」 Mariana bashfully brought her own hand to cover the spot where Mira’s palm was, dearly keeping the lingering heat for as long as possible, then resumed getting things ready in higher spirits than before. The food Mariana prepared and brought to the table looked extremely exquisite, making Mira feel like she had just walked into an expensive restaurant. 「This looks amazing.」「I just had really good ingredients.」 They spoke while Mariana cut a beautifully seared steak. As she had explained, everything used to make that dinner was of high quality as well. Even with her limited cooking knowledge, Mira could tell from the steak’s cross-section that it was good, her mouth watering just from looking at it. Other than the steak, there was also a colorful salad, an amber-colored soup, small pieces of bread and large cuts of steak. There were also some vegetable sticks for the pure rabbit. 「Please enjoy.」 When everything was laid out, Mariana bowed indicating Mira could eat, who promptly stabbed a piece of meat with her fork and carried it to her mouth. (So tasty! I never understood what people meant when they said the food melted on their tongues, but I guess this is it!) 「Mm, it’s delicious.」 Mira stopped herself from blurting out her true feelings of delight, pretending to stay composed. But all she could control were her words, since a really wide smile adorned her cute face showing just how much she enjoyed it. Hearing and seeing Mira like that, made Mariana smile as well as she nodded slightly before grabbing a napkin and cleaning Mira’s lips. Mira said that was something she could do herself, but Mariana shook her head and insisted on doing it for her. 「And so, aren’t you eating as well? Let’s eat together.」「I’ve already eaten.」 Mira’s suggestion was shut down instantly, but Mariana was still in a very good mood throughout the meal, constantly spoiling Mira with any little thing she could. Mariana’s care, or maybe her very nature, made her care about every single thing, which included the pure rabbit who remained in Mira’s arms enjoying a good time with them. After Mira filled her stomach, the sound of silverware being washed filled the living room, while Mira lay down on the couch staring at her map.</s>

If I sneaked over there, they would know, right? This was probably the prince’s place. Was there something in that tower, or someone locked in there, or... a trap? “Hey! Are you even listening to me?” A loud voice suddenly brought me back to my senses. A large man’s face appeared in front of me. ...What a stern looking face. Happiness would flee from him if he kept wrinkling his brow like that. “You’ve been dawdling for a while now. If you’re not going to do anything, you should go back to your mother.” I can agree with that. I also wouldn’t want someone who was unmotivated. One lazy person could upset the discipline at once. “I’m sorry, sir!” I bowed my head deeply, my voice strained. Yes, I must do my best here. I will definitely rise to the top. The man’s eyes widened, as if he didn’t expect me to apologize honestly. The surrounding soldiers also froze. “...What’s your name, rookie?” “Ria.” “My name is Marius, Reid Marius. I’m the captain of this squad.” “...This squad?” “You don’t even know what squad you’re in, and you’re here?” Captain Marius looked dumbfounded. I was suddenly thrown in here by Victor. He didn’t explain anything about all this. “Look, this is Prince Victor’s special unit. All the soldiers in the world are dying to join this unit. ...And somehow the prince threw this poor kid in here with no experience. I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking.” “I just have to stay here on my own merits, don’t I?” The air froze at my words. Captain Marius tightened his face. ...Ah, I think I offended him. It wasn’t like I was going to get any villainess points for pissing off people by dressing up as something other than a lady. “You’re right, rookie.” Thinking about it, this might be the first time I talked to the captain like this. I didn’t have much to do with the soldiers in Duelkis. “Eh?” That’s it? Two hundred push-ups? That’s not a punishment at all, is it? I wonder if I should tell him... A thousand push-ups would be a better punishment. “You’re freaking me out.” “The captain is also a jerk, forcing him to do push-ups right now, right after he arrived.” “I bet he won’t last a week.” “I think he’ll only last a day.” One by one, the soldiers spoke. It’s getting shorter and shorter. I wonder how gutless they thought I was. Not that I’m being rude about it, by the way. “If I fail, do I have to start all over again?” “Hey, you’re getting carried away, rookie.” “Two hundred times?” A short man with cream-colored hair tried to stop Captain Marius, but I interrupted him.</s>

Yue, understanding what Hajime was thinking, kept an empty expression. “As I said, I couldn’t care less about what you think. If you want to take them away from me, then you are trying to obstruct me.” (Hajime) Hajime, glaring at the Elders, reached out his hand and put it on the crying Shia’s head. Surprised, Shia looked up at Hajime. “If you want to take them away from me, I hope you’re prepared to bear the consequences.” (Hajime) “Hajime-san...” (Shia) Hajime would not allow anyone or anything to obstruct his way. He would not hesitate to wage war against Faea Belgaen, the stronghold of demi-humans, for the Haulia tribe. That resolution pierced into Shia’s heart, which had already sunk into the depths of despair. “You are serious, right?” (Ulfric) Ulfric glared at Hajime with a sharp gaze, permitting no deceit. “Obviously.” (Hajime) Hajime wasn’t shaken at all. His unyielding resolve could be seen. He had no respect for this world nor its inhabitants. Those who obstructed his way would have no mercy. This was the decision he had made in the Abyss. “Even if I say there will be a guide provided by Faea Belgaen?” (Ulfric) The execution of the Haulia tribe had been established in a prior Elders’ Conference, and if they decided to overturn this decision due to Hajime’s threat, the Elders would lose their prestige. Therefore, Ulfric had to remind Hajime of the guide Faea Belgaen had prepared in order to seek a result where neither confrontation nor the loss of prestige occured. However, Hajime made it clear that there was no room for negotiation. “I’ll say it for the last time. My guide is the Haulia tribe.” (Hajime) “Tell me your reasoning as to why the Haulia must guide you. If you want to reach the [Great Tree], anyone here could be your guide.” (Ulfric) Shia peered upwards, looking at Hajime’s face. Shia kept staring at Hajime, and their eyes met only for a moment. She felt her heart slightly throbbed, her pulse rising. “I promised them that I’d protect them in exchange for their services.” (Hajime) “... A promise. Have you not already fulfilled your promise? Have you not protected them from the demonic beasts of the canyon and the empire’s soldiers? It is the Haulia who have yet to fulfill their promise. However, there should not be any problems if Faea Belgaen completes this promise in their stead.” (Ulfric)</s>

It was not 'sophistry,' but the dread of theologic vengeance that generated this double dealing with conviction; and it is astonishing to notice what lengths were possible to men who were adroit in the use of artifices of this kind. Towards the close of the stationary period a word-weariness, if I may so express it, took more and more possession of men's minds. Christendom had become sick of the School philosophy and its verbal wastes, which led to no issue, but left the intellect in everlasting haze. Here and there was heard the voice of one impatiently crying in the wilderness, 'Not unto Aristotle, not unto subtle hypothesis, not unto church, Bible, or blind tradition, must we turn for a knowledge of the universe, but to the direct investigation of Nature by observation and experiment.' In 1543 the epoch-making work of Copernicus on the paths of the heavenly bodies appeared. The total crash of Aristotle's closed universe with the earth at its centre followed as a consequence, and 'the earth moves!' became a kind of watchword among intellectual freemen. Copernicus was Canon of the Church of Frauenburg, in the diocese of Ermeland. For three-and-thirty years he had withdrawn himself from the world and devoted himself to the consolidation of his great scheme of the solar system. He made its blocks eternal; and even to those who feared it and desired its overthrow it was so obviously strong that they refrained for a time from meddling with it. In the last year of the life of Copernicus his book appeared: it is said that the old man received a copy of it a few days before his death, and then departed in peace. The Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno was one of the earliest converts to the new astronomy. Taking Lucretius as his exemplar, he revived the notion of the infinity of worlds; and, combining with it the doctrine of Copernicus, reached the sublime generalization that the fixed stars are suns, scattered numberless through space and accompanied by satellites, which bear the same relation to them that our earth does to our sun, or our moon to our earth. This was an expansion of transcendent import; but Bruno came closer than this to our present line of thought. Struck with the problem of the generation and maintenance of organisms, and duly pondering it, he came to the conclusion that Nature in her productions does not imitate the technic of man. Her process is one of unravelling and unfolding. The infinity of forms under which matter appears were not imposed upon it by an external artificer;</s>

Functioning law enforcement for us is just a total assumption. which, of course, is the number for the emergency police operator here in Canada and in the United States, where the average response time to a police 911 emergency call is about 10 minutes. So we take this just completely for granted. But what if there was no law enforcement to protect you? A woman in Oregon recently experienced what this would be like. She was home alone in her dark house on a Saturday night, when a man started to tear his way into her home. This was her worst nightmare, because this man had actually put her in the hospital from an assault just two weeks before. So terrified, she picks up that phone and does what any of us would do: She calls 911 -- but only to learn that because of budget cuts in her county, law enforcement wasn't available on the weekends. Listen. Dispatcher: I don't have anybody to send out there. Woman: OK Dispatcher: Um, obviously if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away? Or do you know if he is intoxicated or anything? Woman: I've already asked him. I've already told him I was calling you. He's broken in before, busted down my door, assaulted me. Dispatcher: Uh-huh. Woman: Um, yeah, so ... Dispatcher: Is there any way you could safely leave the residence? Woman: No, I can't, because he's blocking pretty much my only way out. Dispatcher: Well, the only thing I can do is give you some advice, and call the sheriff's office tomorrow. Obviously, if he comes in and unfortunately has a weapon or is trying to cause you physical harm, that's a different story. You know, the sheriff's office doesn't work up there. I don't have anybody to send." Gary Haugen: Tragically, the woman inside that house was violently assaulted, choked and raped because this is what it means to live outside the rule of law. And this is where billions of our poorest live. What does that look like? In Bolivia, for example, if a man sexually assaults a poor child, statistically, he's at greater risk of slipping in the shower and dying than he is of ever going to jail for that crime. In South Asia, if you enslave a poor person, you're at greater risk of being struck by lightning than ever being sent to jail for that crime. And so the epidemic of everyday violence, it just rages on. And it devastates our efforts to try to help billions of people out of their two-dollar-a-day hell. Because the data just doesn't lie. It turns out that you can give all manner of goods and services to the poor, from taking it all away, you're going to be very disappointed in the long-term impact of your efforts.</s>

Now, you may remember me asking the question as well, a very interesting observation, that actually those strange little signs that actually flash "35" at you, occasionally accompanying a little smiley face or a frown, at preventing road accidents than speed cameras, which come with the actual threat of real punishment. So there seems to be a strange disproportionality at work, I think, in many areas of human problem solving, particularly those which involve human psychology, which is: The tendency of the organization or the institution is to deploy as much force as possible, as much compulsion as possible, whereas actually, the tendency of the person is to be almost influenced in absolute reverse proportion to the amount of force being applied. So there seems to be a complete disconnect here. I'll come to this a little later -- and perhaps the addition of a new word into the English language. Because it does seem to me that large organizations including government, which is, of course, the largest organization of all, have actually become completely disconnected with what actually matters to people. Let me give you one example of this. You may remember this as the AOL-Time Warner merger, okay, heralded at the time as the largest single deal of all time. It may still be, for all I know. Now, all of you in this room, in one form or other, are probably customers of one or both of those organizations that merged. Just interested, did anybody notice anything different as a result of this at all? So unless you happened to be a shareholder of one or the other organizations or one of the dealmakers or lawyers involved in the no-doubt lucrative activity, you're actually engaging in a huge piece of activity that meant absolutely bugger-all to anybody, okay? By contrast, years of marketing have taught me that if you actually want people to remember you and to appreciate what you do, the most potent things are actually very, very small. This is from Virgin Atlantic upper-class, it's the cruet salt and pepper set. Quite nice in itself, they're little, sort of, airplane things. What's really, really sweet is every single person looking at these things has exactly the same mischievous thought, which is, "I reckon I can heist these." However, you pick them up and underneath, actually engraved in the metal, are the words, "Stolen from Virgin Atlantic Airways upper-class." Now, years after you remember the strategic question of whether you're flying in a 777 or an Airbus, you remember those words and that experience.</s>

Nagumo-kun, usually you only call me ‘sensei’ so...” “Is that so?” Hajime tilted his head. Aiko was fidgety, or rather she was being bashful while she opened her mouth with looking up eyes. “You did. ... That... can you, say that just now, one more time?” “... Just now, about the last bit?” “Yes. However, this time, say it without ‘sensei’...” Hajime’s cheeks were cramping. At the same time, the small animal who kept glancing at him with an upward glance while blushing at the opposite seat made him wanted to put a tsukkomi whether she understood her own standpoint and the surrounding situation. Aiko’s ‘coaxing’ made the classmates to make a fuss. “Eh, what is this?” or “What, this atmosphere...” or “I, it’s a lie right...” or “Hajime-sama... as expected” Murmurs like those could be heard. Incidentally, the sound of grinding teeth was resounding from the lot of Ai-chan protection squad. Perhaps because of nervousness, but the voice of the surrounding didn’t reach Aiko. If she was speaking like this understanding everything... then how terrifying that was. That was because Ai-chan had thrown to the winds various things to charge until this far. Doing something like abandoning her teacher self had the risk of collapsing her identity. Hajime could only pray that she wasn’t acting like this while knowing that it should not be. However it was also a problem for her to lose strength just before the final battle, having said that, it didn’t seem like any deception would work on the current Aiko who was running wild. Even when he sent his gaze at Shia, Kaori, and Shizuku, everyone was only smiling wryly and didn’t send him any lifeboat. He wished that they wouldn’t sympathize with the complicated heart of a maiden at this kind of time. Hajime was sighing deeply, in the middle of the gathering piercing attention, he resolved himself and opened his mouth. “... Aiko, please.” “-!! Yes! Leave it to me! I’m going to incite them like mad! This is the time for a teacher of social study to show her real ability!” Was incitement the real ability of a social study teacher... he wanted her to apologize to all the social study teachers in the country. Hajime once again sighed while taking off his gaze from Aiko who was absurdly in high spirit. Toward his ears, “Te, teacher and student... is this ero game-” or ‘A, Aiko-chan got the poisonous fang of the demon king...” or “Casanova... the guy there is a Casanova! You mustn’t meet his eyes! You will get pregnant!” those murmurs could be heard. The twitching of Hajime’s cheeks couldn’t be stopped. “Co, cough-! Na, Nagumo-san...

And they, if you try to produce a different wall with this 18th one, it will have to have the same symmetries as one of these 17. But these are things that we can see. And the power of Galois' mathematical language is it also allows us to create symmetrical objects in the unseen world, beyond the two-dimensional, three-dimensional, all the way through to the four- or five- or infinite-dimensional space. And that's where I work. I create mathematical objects, symmetrical objects, using Galois' language, in very high dimensional spaces. So I think it's a great example of things unseen, which the power of mathematical language allows you to create. So, like Galois, I stayed up all last night creating a new mathematical symmetrical object for you, and I've got a picture of it here. Well, unfortunately it isn't really a picture. If I could have my board at the side here, great, excellent. Here we are. Unfortunately, I can't show you a picture of this symmetrical object. But here is the language which describes how the symmetries interact. Now, this new symmetrical object does not have a name yet. Now, people like getting their names on things, or new species of animals. So I'm going to give you the chance to get your name on a new symmetrical object which hasn't been named before. And this thing -- species die away, and moons kind of get hit by meteors and explode -- but this mathematical object will live forever. It will make you immortal. In order to win this symmetrical object, what you have to do is to answer the question I asked you at the beginning. How many symmetries does a Rubik's Cube have? Okay, I'm going to sort you out. Rather than you all shouting out, I want you to count how many digits there are in that number. Okay? If you've got it as a factorial, you've got to expand the factorials. Okay, now if you want to play, I want you to stand up, okay? If you think you've got an estimate for how many digits, right -- we've already got one competitor here. If you all stay down he wins it automatically. Okay. Excellent. So we've got four here, five, six. Great. Excellent. That should get us going. All right. Anybody with five or less digits, you've got to sit down, because you've underestimated. Five or less digits. So, if you're in the tens of thousands you've got to sit down. 60 digits or more, you've got to sit down. You've overestimated. 20 digits or less, sit down. How many digits are there in your number? Two? So you should have sat down earlier. Let's have the other ones, who sat down during the 20, up again. Okay? If I told you 20 or less, stand up. Because this one. I think there were a few here.

There won’t be any candies anymore. I’m truly sorry」「N-No. I re-received so many from you, t-t-thank you very muf」「So cute. Instead of a candy, I’m going to pet you」「Hieee.........」 After that, Iris was being patted until the granny was satisfied. For someone, who had her heart jumping out of her chest after a light conversation, headpats held a fatal danger. I did well living through this, Iris praised herself. 「A-Anyway, we’ve arrived at the shop that can appraise my grass. My communicative powers aren’t to be underestimated」 Punigami too praised with「you worked hard」. Having obtained her confidence, Iris grasped the grass tightly and entered the shop. 「Ah? What are you saying, young lady? 」 The moment she entered the shop, she immediately attracted the attention of a beardy shopkeeper, who had a wondering expression. Iris’ confidence crumbled in a second. 「No more. I’m going home」 With Punigami getting angry at her, she barely managed to restrain herself. She took upon this challenge once again. 「T-This grass.........I think it has medicinal value, I want to know........how much does it cost........I mean, I don’t want to be unreasonable...............I want you to look at it if you can........kind of」 Although mumbling, Iris managed to properly state her business and placed the grass on the counter. 「Grass? Is it medicinal plant of something.......is this?!」 The shopkeeper, who nearly lost his interest, immediately grabbed the grass the moment he laid his eyes on it. Apparently, unexpectedly to Iris, this grass had some value to it. As the shopkeeper was busy appraising, Iris decided to look around the shop. It wasn’t that wide. Maybe enough to fit around ten beds. On the shelves filling this small space there was a suspicious potion, weirdly shaped wands, a dagger, dried meat, ropes, candles, parchment, tableware, a crystal sphere, a skull, and a lot of other miscellaneous goods. There was only one customer besides Iris. A slender man with a nervous look on his face. Once Iris saw the slender man, 「there is a customer, scary」she trembled. The shopkeeper seemed to be busy changing his expression from an ecstatic one to a disappointed one. Apparently, the grass brought by Iris was an amazing item. 「Um, that......is the elixir grass that amazing......? 」「Of course it’s amazing!」「Hiyaa, please forgive me!」 The shopkeeper cried out loud and Iris reflexively apologized. Seeing this, the shopkeeper made an apologetic face.</s>

Or rather, I can’t possibly refuse anything after seeing this. I really want to avoid making enemies with Arkite.」 Silver carefully returned the medal. Mira tilted her head at Silver’s exaggerated expression, but still felt relieved knowing the medal helped her situation. 「I’ll tell you where the headquarters are instead of just a base, and I’ll also write you a letter of introduction, that’s the most I can do for you.」「Ohh, your headquarters you say. Is that really okay?」「Of course. It’s really hard to say if a mere base will have the knowledge you want, and with the proof you’ve shown me I can only point you towards the headquarters.」 She would be pointed towards the headquarters and not a base, to the place where everything related to the Fifty Bells converged. On top of that, she was getting a letter of introduction. With all of that, she would probably be able to gain even more information than she expected at first. Satisfied with that result, she glanced once over the medal before returning it to her Item Box. (Well, this worked even better than I expected. It came in handy faster than I thought.) 「Wait a moment, I’ll get it ready.」 Saying that, Silver took out paper and ink from a large bag and began writing the letter. 「Whew, I’m glad you got something from this. At least I was able to repay my favor.」「It still bothered me. I wouldn’t be able to sleep in peace otherwise.」「I get told that a lot.」 Blue shrugged it off while joking about it. The two continued chatting randomly while Silver got the letter ready. 「I’ve marked the spot on this map, and here is the letter.」「Thank you, you’ve been really helpful.」 Mira thanked him as she received the map and letter from Silver. 「I’m also glad to know that even young girls like you care so much about the spirits. That we met like this was also thanks to them, so let’s protect the spirits with all our might.」「Maybe we should let her join the Fifty Bells then? At least I would welcome her.」「I’ll think about it.」「By the way, was it really a good idea to go into so much detail about our organization? And then even go as far as telling her where the headquarters are.」 Silver forced a smile hearing Blue’s question, replying while he returned the writing tools to the bag. 「We have seen how good she is when fighting against Chimera. Instead of half-a̲s̲s̲e̲d̲l̲y hiding information, it was best to be honest and upfront so maybe she considers joining us. I think she cares enough about spirits for that. And you saw that medal as well, that’s no common item. It had the emblem of Arkite engraved in it, a symbolizing the towers, and the ring pattern unique to King Solomon. All of that combined means that she’s someone with absolute command under the Nine Towers. Or put simply, King Solomon and Arkite guarantee the honor of the medal’s owner, and she works directly under King Solomon’s command. That’s the meaning of that medal.」「Woah...」</s>

She leaned in close to Mitrof’s ear and whispered in a low voice. “Mitrof-sama, the beastmen are a noble race—I hear they never accept one-sided charity.” “...I see—if I only keep helping without taking in return, I may hurt their pride.” There are many different races living in the country, each with their own vastly different cultures and ideologies. Even in the labyrinth, it seems that this fundamental truth remains unchanged. Mitrof pondered for a moment and took out medical tools from Canule’s baggage. “Wait, Apélie Tiff, I want to sell this to you.” Apélie Tiff stopped and turned around hesitantly. “Clean fabric, a hemostatic ointment, and bandages to protect your wounds—these pills are for pain relief.” “...I don’t have anything.” “I know. But you live in the labyrinth, don’t you? I’ve heard that there are precious plants and minerals inside. And also, let’s see, information. There may be hidden paths or dangerous places in the labyrinth that other adventurers don’t know about. Things that you take for granted may be valuable to us.” Apélie Tiff looked at Mitrof skeptically. “...It seems like you have nothing to gain from this.” “Of course, there is a profit to be made—the selling price is double what it is on the surface—and I’ll take twice the amount I paid for it from you,” Mitrof said. Apélie Tiff squinted her eyes, appearing to be considering Mitrof’s proposal or observing the unique individual before her. “...Don’t you think I’d take it and run?” “Are you planning to run?” “I won’t run—I won’t do that kind of thing.” Apélie Tiff said resolutely. It was the response Mitrof was hoping for. “Well then, it’s settled—I’ll trust you, and we have a deal.” Mitrof placed the item on the spot and took a few steps back. Apélie Tiff looked at Mitrof and the item, seeming to be pondering for a while. Finally, she approached the item, sat down, and took the ointment in her hand. She bent her leg, piercing her pants with her canine tooth. With a pop, the fabric was easily removed, exposing the wound on her thigh. It seemed like a scrape on the outside of her thigh, but it was hard to tell from where Mitrof was standing. He was worried that a blow like the one from the swordhorned rabbit would have pierced through, but for the time being, it seemed safe. If it were a serious injury, ointments would only be a placebo. They probably would have returned to the ground with Apélie Tiff in their arms and thrown her into a treatment center.</s>

Don’t worry, if push comes to shove, there’s me, Barbera, and Anna’s skeleton squad! If we don’t have enough meat, we’ll go hunting!” “If we let the ...... employees do the stocking, the hunt is about to happen. It’s not just a different culture, it’s a whole different world.” “The meat sold at the butcher’s is usually from monsters killed in the area! There is also a small amount of meat that is brought in by magic tools for safekeeping.” “Ah, I wonder what happens to the time inside the item pouch, the magic tool of safekeeping? Is it one of those things where time stops?” “Naoya, the ‘item box’ that completely stops time is a legendary magical tool. The normal ‘item pouch’ has normal time flowing through it. If you want to carry it from afar, you need to put ice together with it.” “No, I don’t get it. How does space work? Why does it get cold if you put ice in it? I’m scared of magic. This is another world.” I couldn’t help but look at her with a faraway look because our common sense is so different. Seeing me like that, Chloe tilted her head and looked at me strangely. If she didn’t talk, Chloe would be quite beautiful. “Hey big-sis, can you sell me some of this? I’m not used to eating preserved food in the open air.” “Thank you, Mr. Adventurer. But today is just a sample, and we haven’t decided when we will start selling them.” “Guah-, seriously? Geez, let me know when you decide to start selling them!” “Yes, of course!” The response to the sampling was positive. Also, it seems that even adventurers don’t realize that Anna-san is a Lich. It’s something I knew, but just in case, just in case. “Okay. As long as we don’t say anything, it doesn’t seem to matter if the undead are involved in the cooking.” Chloe didn’t seem to hear what I said in a whisper. “Well then, Chloe, I’m preparing the third dish. Anna-san will be in charge of serving the customers, Chloe will do the shopping, and Barbera-“ “Barbera’s on patrol, you know? She’s going with Captain Skeleton to see if there are any monsters outside the territory.” “Ah, right. I see that dragons and skeletons are getting along very well. Yeah, that’s fine then.” This is a different world infested with monsters. Security, vigilance, and killing are important, so it’s a good thing that Barbera and Captain Skeletor are doing a good job. Though they are in fact monsters! I kept my criticisms to myself. Anyway. Now that we have vegetables from the farmers, let’s go to the kitchen and try our third dish! With skeletons with aprons today, too!</s>

After returning to the surface, Mitrof and Canule moved to a new location. They took a seat at the end of a small dining hall in the inn where Grace once stayed. They didn’t know of any other suitable place to talk about things they didn’t want to be asked about by others. The sun had yet to set, and it was still early evening. The dimly lit dining hall had few customers, with only a male elf drinking alone at the opposite table. Mitrof ordered red wine and a rabbit meat dish. He gave the smallblade rabbit he brought back from the labyrinth to the innkeeper and asked him to prepare it. This way, he could eat meat to his heart’s content, cheaply. The unsmiling innkeeper brought a bottle of red wine and two glasses. Mitrof poured the wine into both glasses. Canule hasn’t eaten or drunk anything since being cursed. However, placing an empty glass in front of her made Mitrof hesitant. “...Once again, I have caused trouble for you, Mitrof-sama.” Mitrof nodded in response to Canule’s apology. He didn’t think he had caused any trouble, but denying it wouldn’t make the conversation progress. “Is that really Canule’s older brother?” “...Yes, without a doubt.” “Were you knighted?” Canule nodded in response to Mitrof’s question and dropped a few words. In the past, countries fought each other, and among them, the era of noble lords competing for territory continued for a long time. Many young men became soldiers, and those who performed outstanding deeds were granted the title of knight. However, that is now a thing of the past. The world was governed, and diplomatic maneuvering prevailed over warfare. The stage of the knight in armor has long since fallen into disuse. The Royal Guard Knights still exist, but they haven’t been to battle in decades. Nevertheless, knighthood has not yet disappeared, and a title called “Knight Baron” has been established for the quasi-nobility, with selected families inheriting the knightship. “Women born into a knight baron family learn both ladylike behavior and martial arts—and as they reach the age of maturity, they become a quasi-knight and a guard attendant for noblewomen.” “I have heard of it—for noblewomen, a female knight is indispensable for dressing up in high society.” To have a beautiful appearance, impeccable manners, and a female knight with superior combat skills by one’s side. It is the “trend” in high society. The story of knights has always captivated people’s hearts. To have a courageous knight offer their sword and pledge loyalty is still a noblewoman’s dream today.</s>

First the guild is an organization that deals with adventurers who have been registered, and can be accessed throughout every country. Receiving requests, choosing what requests to do, oh by the quests are available in the quest board, well there are also requests given directly to the adventurers. As for compensations, the adventurer will receive some rewards but 10% of the rewards will go to the guild, the client also pays 10% extra to the guild, adventurers can also have their requests submitted to the guild, its on the other window, there are also some people who directly call for requests without using the guild. That’s all the information, is that good enough? 」「Okay, next we go to the types of requests. Basically quests are divided into 3 types, those are subjugation, collection, and escorting. Subjugation is for defeating designated monsters in designated places. By the way any demon you have defeated will belong to you. It is also required to present a part of the demon as subjugation proof. Collection includes requests to bring specific objects that was requested, also proof of subjugation can also be included in collection requests. This is also the easiest known requests that is taken by beginners. The other is escorting and direct requests which are easy to understand what it’s like.」 Oh, demon that you have took down can also be submitted. That surely is helpful. In making money that is. 「Next will be about parties. A party is a group of adventurers doing a request together. A party consist of at least 2 people and will be really helpful in doing harder requests. Since there are quests that cannot be done alone or would need more people to make it easier to accomplish. Any people can make their own party. There are also parties that exceed 100 people and accumulates all rewards they have collected. Such parties are called “Team” A team have plenty of privileges. got it?」「Ummm... is it ok if the demon cores that I have collected from some time ago?」「Nn? Well it doesn’t really matter even if the core was collected 100 years ago. I don’t know how it works but it will still be usable even after a longer time has passed. Well then the last part」「Please continue」「It’s about this. This part of the guild which includes the bar that works in a collaboration. There are a few shops in the area that is working in collaboration with the guild. The guild also provides services that these places offer but only in a more simplified form. The price for the inn is 50 bell per night. Items can also be sold to the guild the same as in other merchants that are specialized in collecting them. Oh that’s right We only buy demon cores by the way, other usable parts can be sold to specialized shops, and merchant organizations. And this here is the guild card. This is given to all adventurers. It also serves as a proof of being one, so do not easily lose it. In case you lost it, it can be reissued. When your rank changes. the rank of your card will also be changed. Information about your skills can also be shown if you allow another person to see it. You can also limit the skills that you want to show if needed.」 The explanation was really understandable. Thank you for explaining. 「Thank you very much!」「And so do you really want to be an adventurer?」「Well then what’s your name jou-chan?」「My name is Alim.」「I see Alim-chan... so then what’s your second name?」「Eh?」 Eh, do I really need to have a surname?

If it is useless from the outside, how about from the inside? Two boads, who had the dark attribute mana injected into their body, had their intestines disappear, leaving only fur behind. Boads, who saw them disappear leaving only the fur, became agitated. Fear of the boy in front of them mixed with anger from having their comrades killed. 「Apparently, magic seems to work from the inside of their bodies. Only the outside is protected」「I understand......」 Yua hearing his words casts a spell. 「『Holy Maiden』Yuriel」 Immediately after saying the spell’s name, rapier appears in her right hand. The spell she used is holy attribute beginner spell 『Holy Maiden』, it creates a rapier utilizing the special effect of the holy attribute『creation』. The rapier created by Yua is one of her favorite weapons, its name is Yuriel. Yua stabs the bellies of the three boads with the Yuriel and immediately pulls out. Of course, they won’t die from such a small wound, they tried to hit her using their claws. Regretfully, they couldn’t even touch her. Just before their claws were about to land on her, they exploded from the inside and became a meat paste. Although the blood splashed in all directions, Yua avoids it by deploying a light attribute intermediate spell 『Wall of Light』and remains unstained. Seiya has a bitter smile on his face after seeing her attack. He has read about a similar attacking method in a book once. Among the magicians who use the fire attribute, it is a technique used by especially high-level magicians, it is a technique that detonates the body by pouring the mana of the fire attribute inside the opponent’s body. Yua’s way of attacking is similar to that attack method, but there were no signs of using fire attribute. The magical attribute used by Yua is a light attribute, and it shouldn’t be possible with the light attribute alone. But Yua did it right in front of his eyes. So how did she do it? She pushed the magical power of the light attribute in boad’s body and raised its power. The special effect of the light attribute is『rising』, which has the effect of improving the object. Yua activated『rising』on the whole body of boad. Originally it should be strengthened, but boad’s fur is resistant to magic and will not improve. When inflating the balloon, if the endurance of its material is not enough, the balloon will just explode from the excessive air. It is the same principle here.</s>

I put on the one intended for training—I sure have gotten used to doing this—and changed into leggings and short sleeves. Then I put an unrefined coat on top and we headed to the meetup place. Before long the bell that signaled the start of the class was heard and the teacher in charge of the practical class showed up. “I see you’re all here. Whoever is absent, speak up.” “They can’t if they are absent.” The teacher broke the tension with a cliche joke, had the students stand in a row, and took a roll call. After that, he spoke about today’s plans and called about ten Adventurers to the sports grounds. Cloud and Michelle were also among them. “H-Huh?” They realized that I discovered them and waved back at me. They had smiles like kids pulling off a prank. “As planned, we will do magic practical training inside the forest today. Of course, you are probably not used to such things, so the Adventurers will follow you as guards. At the teacher’s words, the ten-odd Adventurers gave slight bows one by one. They were lined up with tense expressions. “They are your seniors when it comes to acting inside the forest. Even if you’re nobles, be sure to listen to what they say. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your lives.” At those words, I heard the students swallow saliva here and there. As expected, even noble kids couldn’t hide their nervousness before a real battle. Letina and I, who had abundant experience, were already used to it, however. “Now then, form four or five-member teams. Then have the Adventurers accompany you. I reserved the second and third period for us today, so you can enjoy yourselves in the forest until noon.” With that, the students started making teams as they saw fit. I teamed up with Letina, but the other students didn’t approach us. “Why...?” “That should be because this is a practice where you entrust your lives to each other. You faint all the time so it is natural to avoid you, no?” “Ugh, but I have the most experience here.” “I am the only one who knows that.” “Guh.” No matter how much of a beauty I was, the ability was what mattered when it came to life-threatening situations. But as the saying went that when one door shuts, another opens, a pair of girls called out to me. “Miss Nicole. If you don’t mind, could you join us?” It was the girl that greeted us at the lockers in the morning. She seemed like a little docile student, but her personality was exceedingly gentle for an academy like this full of haughty students. “Uh, are you sure?” “Of course. Miss Letina also has excellent records, so I would like you to join by any means.” “Then, we’d be glad to.”</s>

The sixth graders were also rolling around on the ground, but the ratio between them was different. Sheila, who had more endurance than others, was also lying on her back. But it wasn’t from fatigue but from a sense of fulfillment. “We won....” Why was it that the victory that was obtained with the help of one’s friends was so moving? As Sheila was basking in the afterglow of victory, Seiryuu’s face appeared in her field of vision. “Sheila.” She grabbed the hand held out in front of her. Leaving herself up to him, Sheila sat up. “It was a great match. It’s embarrassing, though, as an upperclassman, that you won so easily.” “No. It wasn’t easy at all.” It might have gone by in a blink of an eye, but for Sheila, it was a fierce battle. Perhaps for her classmates as well. Looking around the training hall, she saw that Cody, Zechs, Hyderion, Toldrid, and her other classmates were also lying on the ground. Her smile deepened at the sight of nobles and commoners alike. Sheila’s expression as she gazed at her friends was dazzling and proud, like a boy with a treasure in his hands. Seiryuu narrowed his eyes at his junior and scrunched her head. He smiled gently at Sheila, who blinked at his unusually rough touch. “I gave away the win this time, but I won’t lose next time. I’ll be even tougher in the upcoming competitions.” “Eh, I think you don’t have to be any stronger than that.....” Sheila smiled dryly as she saw Seiryuu off. Hyderion had predicted that once they won, their other competitors would be wary and it would be difficult to win again, but to think that they would raise the level of caution so early in the game like this. Sheila shivered at the prospect of a heated battle. Let’s just say that she was shivering from the anticipation of encountering even stronger opponents. She returned to her tent, and they all praised each other’s efforts. They were exhausted, but the next game was between the fifth and sixth graders. Sheila and the others could rest, albeit briefly. When the match began, Sheila and her teammates pushed aside their fatigue and began to watch the game seriously. The purpose was to get an idea of the strength of the fifth graders who they would be fighting next. Leidyrune was on the offensive. Even though he couldn’t use magic, he had a good foundation in the physical arts, which made him a dangerous player. Incidentally, Wilfrecht was absent today. Sheila was told that he would show up around the time of the Imperial Matches, as he would be attending as a member of the royal family.</s>

So catadores are leaving invisibility behind and becoming increasingly respected and valued. Because of their pimped carroças, they are able to fight back to prejudice, increase their income and their interaction with society. So now, I'd like to challenge you to start looking at and acknowledging the catadores and other invisible superheroes from your city. Try to see the world as one, without boundaries or frontiers. Believe it or not, there are over 20 million catadores worldwide. So next time you see one, recognize them as a vital part of our society. Muito obrigado, thank you.</s>

So we developed the AngelMed Guardian System and we have a device inside this patient, called the Implanted AngelMed Guardian. And when you have a blockage, the alarm goes off and it sends the alarm and the electrogram to an external device, which gets your baseline electrogram from 24 hours ago and the one that caused the alarm, so you can take it to the emergency room and show them, and say, take care of me right away. Then it goes to a network operations center, where they get your data from your patient database that's been put in at some central location, say, in the United States. Then it goes to a diagnostic center, and within one minute of your heart attack, your signal appears on the screen of a computer and the computer analyzes what your problem is. And the person who's there, the medical practitioner, calls you -- this is also a cell phone -- and says, "Mr. Smith, you're in deep doo-doo; you have a problem. We've called the ambulance. The ambulance is on the way. It'll pick you up, and then we're going to call your doctor, tell him about it. We're going to send him the signal that we have, that says you have a heart attack, and we're going to send the signal to the hospital and we're going to have it analyzed there, and there you're going to be with your doctor and you'll be taken care of so you won't die of a heart attack." That's the first invention that I wanted to describe. And now I want to talk about something entirely different. At first I didn't think migraine headaches were a big problem because I'd never had a migraine headache, but then I spoke to some people who have three or four every week of their life, and their lives are being totally ruined by it. We have a mission statement for our company doing migraine, which is, "Prevent or ameliorate migraine headaches by the application of a safe, controlled magnetic pulse applied, as needed, by the patient." Now, you're probably very few physicists here. If you're a physicist you'd know there's a certain Faraday's Law, which says if I apply a magnetic pulse on salt water -- that's your brains by the way -- it'll generate electric currents, and the electric current in the brain can erase a migraine headache. That's what we have discovered. So here's a picture of what we're doing. The patients who have a migraine preceded by an aura have a band of excited neurons -- that's shown in red -- that moves at three to five millimeters a minute towards the mid-brain. And when it hits the mid-brain, that's when the headache begins.</s>

"And why can't you?" I asked. While she spoke she turned a silver bracelet round and round her wrist. She could not go, she said, because there would be a retreat that week in her convent. Her brother and two other boys were fighting for their caps and I was alone at the railings. She held one of the spikes, bowing her head towards me. The light from the lamp opposite our door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. It fell over one side of her dress and caught the white border of a petticoat, just visible as she stood at ease. "It's well for you," she said. "If I go," I said, "I will bring you something." What innumerable follies laid waste my waking and sleeping thoughts after that evening! I wished to annihilate the tedious intervening days. I chafed against the work of school. At night in my bedroom and by day in the classroom her image came between me and the page I strove to read. The syllables of the word Araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul luxuriated and cast an Eastern enchantment over me. I asked for leave to go to the bazaar on Saturday night. My aunt was surprised and hoped it was not some Freemason affair. I answered few questions in class. I watched my master's face pass from amiability to sternness; he hoped I was not beginning to idle. I could not call my wandering thoughts together. I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire, seemed to me child's play, ugly monotonous child's play. On Saturday morning I reminded my uncle that I wished to go to the bazaar in the evening. He was fussing at the hallstand, looking for the hat-brush, and answered me curtly: "Yes, boy, I know." As he was in the hall I could not go into the front parlour and lie at the window. I left the house in bad humour and walked slowly towards the school. The air was pitilessly raw and already my heart misgave me. When I came home to dinner my uncle had not yet been home. Still it was early. I sat staring at the clock for some time and. when its ticking began to irritate me, I left the room. I mounted the staircase and gained the upper part of the house. The high cold empty gloomy rooms liberated me and I went from room to room singing.</s>

The work comes in all shapes and sizes. It's small and large. This is an ashtray, a water glass. From urban planning and master planning to theater and all sorts of stuff. The thing that all the work has in common is that it challenges the assumptions about conventions of space. And these are everyday conventions, conventions that are so obvious that we are blinded by their familiarity. And I've assembled a sampling of work that all share a kind of productive nihilism that's used in the service of creating a particular special effect. And that is something like nothing, or something next to nothing. It's done through a form of subtraction or obstruction or interference in a world that we naturally sleepwalk through. This is an image that won us a competition for an exhibition pavilion for the Swiss Expo 2002 on Lake Neuchatel, near Geneva. And we wanted to use the water not only as a context, but as a primary building material. We wanted to make an architecture of atmosphere. So, no walls, no roof, no purpose -- just a mass of atomized water, a big cloud. And this proposal was a reaction to the over-saturation of emergent technologies in recent national and world expositions, which feeds, or has been feeding, our insatiable appetite for visual stimulation with an ever greater digital virtuosity. High definition, in our opinion, has become the new orthodoxy. And we ask the question, can we use technology, high technology, to make an expo pavilion that's decidedly low definition, that also challenges the conventions of space and skin, and rethinks our dependence on vision? So this is how we sought to do it. Water's pumped from the lake and is filtered and shot as a fine mist through an array of high-pressure fog nozzles, 35,000 of them. And a weather station is on the structure. It reads the shifting conditions of temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, dew point, and it processes this data in a central computer that calibrates the degree of water pressure and distribution of water throughout. And it's a responsive system that's trained on actual weather. So, this is just in construction, and there's a tensegrity structure. It's about 300 feet wide, the size of a football field, and it sits on just four very delicate columns. These are the fog nozzles, the interface, and basically the system is kind of reading the real weather, and producing kind of semi-artificial and real weather. So, we're very interested in creating weather. I don't know why. Now, here we go, one side, the outside and then from the inside of the space you can see what the quality of the space was. Unlike entering any normal space, entering Blur is like stepping into a habitable medium.</s>

This is what our teammates, we dream of at night. We hope that we can sometime clean up oil spills, or we can gather or collect plastic in the ocean, or we can have swarms of our machines controlled by multi-player video game engines to control many of these machines, to monitor coral reefs or to monitor fisheries. Our hope is that we can use open hardware technology to better understand and protect our oceans. Thank you very much.</s>

But we were quite far from the quest board, so she must have good eyes. It was no wonder that they were such good hunters. “Goblin hunting? Alright, let’s accept it.” Said Ario, and Ginny nodded with a serious expression. “Yes, brother. Right now, there are hardly any other Adventurers here.” “Then I will help you.” “Are you sure?” “Aye. I try to hunt goblins as much as I can.” “If you’re going to help us, Mr. Locke, it will be like having the strength of a hundred people.” Ario said in a relieved voice. Perhaps he was a little scared by the thought of hunting goblins with just Ginny. But even if he was afraid, he was going to brave the danger in order to save the helpless villagers. That was quite a brave thing to do. “Well, I’m going to go directly from here. Do you want to go home, Grulf and Lord Gerberga?” “Grau!” Grulf and Lord Gerberga looked like they wanted to go. But I was a little worried. There was no problem with Lord Gerberga. If he became tired, he could just rest in my jacket. But Grulf... Would he be okay? While it hadn’t been particularly strenuous exercise, we had still been on a walk. What if he became too tired to move... “...I suppose if it came to it, I could just carry you.” “Groof?” Grulf looked at me with a puzzled expression, and so I patted him on the head. “Ario, go tell them that you’ll accept the quest. I’m going to contact the people at my house.” “Understood. Leave it to me!” And so Ario and Ginny ran to the counter in order to accept the goblin hunting quest. I then left the guild building and used my communication bracelet in order to contact Kathe. “Kathe. Have you arrived at the mansion yet?” ‘Huh? Ah, yes, I have! Tama drank some water and then ran off to Philly’s laboratory.’ “That’s good. Kathe, I need you to give a message to Shia and Serulis.” ‘What is it?’ “I accepted a goblin hunting quest, and will go directly from here.” ‘What? But you said you were coming straight back.’ “I’m sorry. But there are people who need my help. And there isn’t anything that I can do over there.” Philly, the genius alchemist was dealing with the bomb. And Eric and his privy council were dealing with the search for the enemies hiding in the palace. Aside from that, Goran and the Adventurers Guild were doing everything that they could do to investigate the ruins of the dark ones. And I was just waiting for the results. Once I knew who the enemy was and where they were, then I could defeat them. But there was nothing that I could do currently. “And so I need you to pass on that message.”</s>

That said, we hadn’t made any grand preparations. Maxwell would be taking us back, so there was no need to prepare food and such things. In place of it, Temuru proposed we fill the empty space in our carriage with Berith specialties. If we fill the space with merchandise, the profits would skyrocket. But this way, it would be unfair that only Temuru would gain from it, so I requested additional pay. This was a profitable deal for him, so after some bargaining, he pleasantly agreed to it. Cortina was taken captive by Maria ahead of us. Maxwell took her place, so our numbers remained unchanged. Though, visually, it was somewhat of a degradation. “Yeah, Cortina was better.” “Do not whine. That aside, I see that even little Finia has found out about you.” “Gh... There was an unavoidable circumstance at play.” Opening up a big Portal Gate inside the city could get unrelated bystanders rolled up into it, so we were trying to refrain from it as much as we could. We needed to transfer two carriages, so he needed to create a three times bigger gate than usual. Due to that, we would be teleporting after leaving the city. Thus, we moved to the western gate to leave. On the way, I told Maxwell that Finia had found out about me. “I was in extreme pain and weakness back then, so I couldn’t even think properly.” “So you went crazy.” “Shut up!” Maxwell and I were currently riding on the coachman’s seats. Finia and Michelle moved inside the cargo carrier, while Cloud was on horseback a little away. I spoke to Maxwell in a low voice so the people around wouldn’t overhear. “How about you just give up and let Cortina and Lyell know too?” “That alone I can’t do. I have no intention of letting Lyell and Maria know, in particular.” “Why?” “I told Gadius already, but it’s because I know how much they love . If they realize that it was me on the inside, I feel like I would be betraying their love. Nicole and I were one and the same, but the Nicole that was me versus the Nicole they thought of were different. I felt like I would be pouring water on their feelings, so I just couldn’t come out with it. While we were talking about that, we arrived at the western gate. Temuru took the lead and presented his merchant guild’s ID, receiving the inspection. They weren’t giving such thorough checks since we were leaving the city, but apparently, there were people trying to smuggle contraband too. In this case, contraband would be drugs and such dangerous goods. It was rare in Forneus, but it happened commonly in the verdant Raum. Following it, the guard checked Maxwell, and then me. But the moment he saw my face, he stiffened as if petrified. “C-Could you be Miss Nicole? The one who saved the Pope from danger?” “Well, I did save her from an assassin but...” “So it was you! I was the one who rushed to the scene at that time.” There were no knights at the scene then. So he was probably part of the knights that came rushing afterward. Back then I drove a fist into the assassin while straddling him. I don’t get it, just what part of that scene was so moving? “No such thing! I have heard that you put your body at risk and saved the Pope, I was deeply moved!”</s>

Well, to a certain level with the shrine maiden’s skill―in the case of the Nu Gruv tribe, Asmina is quite a prodigy. With that ability, wounds can be cured, but nothing can be done if they lose a limb and such. In that situation, whether they stop or not is up to them, but usually they continue to fight and die.” What an unproductive race they are. No one seems to realize that those who run away may fight for another day. By the way, the Beast King himself didn’t go through this kind of tournament. It seems that his strength and pure soul had been recognized to the point that he was crowned as the Beast King. In that case, isn’t this tournament useless? With this, simply by winning, even a thug can become the “Beast King”―I asked, and actually, this tournament in the end is to select the candidate for the “Next Beast King,” so not the official “Beast King.” Currently, the Beast King and those clan leaders will confirm their strength and soul. If there are no problems, then the candidate will officially become the “Beast King,” or so he said. Even so, he entrusted the current Cres Kingdom’s problem to the next generation; therefore, the relation becomes “Beast King title > fate of the country.” What an irresponsible person. “Also, the participants’ names are attached. I wonder, how is it from your point of view, master? Can Revan win?” I presented the participant names to the “Beast King.” This world’s beastman is different from Eternal Horizon Online which had three standard races, the variety is many. What kind of ability do they have? That is really unpredictable, isn’t it? “Hmm, victory or defeat is like a jar of water. I really can’t possibly say it before I open the lid.” Or so the Beast King said as he partially closed his eyes while gazing at the list of registrants that he received from me through Mikoto. “Fumu, the first one, Acheron, is the Tigerkin tribe leader. If I remember correctly, he did not lose any disputes between tribes, so he received the nickname ‘Strong Arm.’ This is difficult. My stupid pupil’s chances of winning probably dropped to 40%...” “Next is David the Pantherkin tribe hero. He’s a spear master. It was said that he has slain an earth dragon with a single spear of his. This one, if dealt carelessly, will make him lose too.” “Eugene the ‘Huge Rock’ of the Bearkin tribe. His huge body, which is three meters in height and 700kg in weight, is a weapon just in and of itself. Fighting him head on is reckless, but oh dear, can that moron even use any alternative methods?” “And then Cyril the mercenary from the Snakekin tribe. Even normally those tribes are scary because of their tough shells, flexible movements, and poisonous fangs. Furthermore, with his actual experience as a mercenary, well I wonder how it will be.” It feels like the Beast King enjoyed speaking about all of these anxiety inducing matters. “Doesn’t that mean that Revan is in a really tough spot?” “Practically, he has poor prospects. ―Be that as it may, is it even possible to only fight battles where you know you can win?”</s>

Oh, but who is this?” “I’ll tell you over breakfast.” And then Luchila and Gerberga came out as well. Gerberga was walking behind Luchila. Perhaps Luchila would not have to carry Gerberga too much inside of the house. And that was a good thing, as Gerberga needed to get some exercise. “Ah, so Grulf is awake now.” Luchila knew all about Grulf’s deep sleep the previous night. “You should wake up when there is a noise like that.” Grulf’s ears flattened on his head as Luchila petted him and gave a gentle lecture. And then Gerberga approached Grulf. “Cluck-cluck!” Gerberga was less gentle in his reminder of Grulf’s failure, and the wolf seemed to shrink down in size. I didn’t understand what Gerberga was saying, but it must have been a rebuke. “Well, Grulf. Don’t take it too hard.” I encouraged him. Then Milka said, “Mister Locke. Where are the cleaning tools?” “Ah, now that I think about it. We probably don’t have any.” “What? You don’t?” “We only moved in yesterday.” “We will have to go and buy some later on.” Milka said cheerfully. And then we had a simple breakfast. As there was no cook, we could only eat the leftover bread from yesterday. “Delicious, delicious! This is so incredibly delicious!” Milka was visibly impressed by the leftover food. As we ate our breakfast, I explained to Goran and the others about what had happened. About Milka and the secret passage. “A secret passage to the palace, eh?” “That makes me suspicious of its security.” Goran and Serulis said with worry. “I plan to reinforce the hole and the entire tunnel today. I will also install a door on the palace side.” “A door?” “A door that only chosen people can use. I think it would be good to have an emergency escape route.” “That’s true.” Royalty generally had secret escape routes. And they might as well have more than one. Shia had been listening quietly, but now said, “But why did this baron’s wife set those traps?” “The trap that Milka was caught in?” “Yes. I do not understand why she would make it for a passage that only she and the king would walk through.” “Maybe she was cautious of someone else entering.” “Like who?” “Well, the previous, previous queen, of course.” “I see... That could be a possibility.” Shia nodded with a serious expression. A king would likely have lovers with little shame. That would not have made the queen very happy. Perhaps the queen had followed them to the mansion during their tryst.</s>

Both of them are caring and respectable seniors. And, really, let’s stop with the ‘Sister.’” “I mean, these big brothers were so far away, but they noticed Sister. They were running because they were worried about Sister, weren’t they?” Sheila was sure that the little girl had no bad intentions, but she would like to end this topic quickly. Seiryuu and Leidyrune were standing still with a difficult look on their faces. Even though they might be seen as a nuisance because they were creating traffic in the streets, the people of the city were keeping their distance because of Leidyrune, who clearly looked like an aristocrat. “Um, putting Seiryuu-senpai aside, I would never misunderstand that Leidyrune-senpai was worried about me. It’s just something a child says, so if you could just tolerate it.....” “If you say that, doesn’t it sound like I’m a cold-hearted person?” It seemed that Sheila’s remarks were more offensive than Abby’s. Questioned in a pressing tone, her eyes widened. “Then, were you worried about me?” “.... That’s right. Because you looked troubled.” There was a subtle pause, so maybe Leidyrune didn’t really mean it, but he didn’t deny that he had rushed over. Since she was actually saved, Sheila should thank him. “Thank you very much. I knew it, Leidyrune-senpai is very kind.” When Sheila laughed, swallowing the part that might be considered rude, his purple eyes shook just slightly. “.... Only you would describe me as kind.” While Sheila gazed at him in a puzzled manner, a group of men in armor appeared. They were members of a patrolling corps who were making their rounds and came to check on the fact that the crowd around Leidyrune, a high-ranking noble, was causing a bit of a commotion. Sheila didn’t notice at all. She took the opportunity to inform them of Abby’s presence, and they told her that her parents had come to the military post looking for her. Sheila felt relieved and left Abby in the care of the patrolman. Waving back at the girl as she walked away, Sheila looked up at Seiryuu, who was waving next to her. “What a relief, right, Seiryuu-senpai?” “Ah, yes, it’s a relief.... By the way, Sheila, you can call me by my name. I’m sure it’s a hassle to call me “senpai” every time.” Sheila blinked her eyes at the sudden offer. “Is that okay?” “I don’t mind.” Seiryuu looked down at Sheila with a warm smile. If he felt familiar and close to her, she was honestly glad.</s>

So I had to find a different method, preferably involving total strangers. And luckily there's a website for that called Mechanical Turk, which is a website where you can post tasks that you don't want to do yourself, such as "Please summarize this text for me in six words." And I didn't allow any low-cost countries to work on this, but I found out I could get a six-word summary for just 10 cents, which I think is a pretty good price. Even then, unfortunately, it's not possible to summarize each TEDTalk individually. Because if you do the math, you have a thousand TEDTalks, the pay 10 cents each; you have to do more than one summary for each of those talks, because some of them will probably be, or are, really bad. So I would end up paying hundreds of dollars. So I thought of a different way by thinking, well, the talks revolve around certain themes. So what if I don't let people summarize individual TEDTalks to six words, but give them 10 TEDTalks at the same time and say, "Please do a six-word summary for that one." I would cut my costs by 90 percent. So for $60, I could summarize a thousand TEDTalks into just 600 summaries, which would actually be quite nice. Now some of you might actually right now be thinking, It's downright crazy to have 10 TEDTalks summarized into just six words. But it's actually not, because there's an example by statistics professor, Hans Rosling. I guess many of you have seen one or more of his talks. He's got eight talks online, and those talks can basically be summed up into just four words, because that's all he's basically showing us, our intuition is really bad. He always proves us wrong. So people on the Internet, some didn't do so well. I mean, when I asked them to summarize the 10 TEDTalks at the same time, some took the easy route out. They just had some general comment. There were others, and I found this quite cheeky. They used their six words to talk back to me and ask me if I'd been too much on Google lately. some people really came up with their own version of the truth. I don't know any TEDTalk that contains this. But, oh well. In the end, however, and this is really amazing, for each of those 10 TEDTalk clusters that I submitted, I actually received meaningful summaries. Here are some of my favorites. For example, for all the TEDTalks around food, someone summed this up into: "Food shaping body, brains and environment," which I think is pretty good. Or happiness: "Striving toward happiness = moving toward unhappiness." So here I was.</s>

That's a big deal. Give me a hand for that. That's a big deal. That's a big deal. It really is. You see, most people don't realize that it's not just minorities who don't do well in science and engineering. Quite frankly, you're talking about Americans. who begin with a major in science and engineering will actually graduate in science and engineering, only 32 percent of whites who begin with majors in those areas actually succeed and graduate in those areas, and only 42 percent of Asian-Americans. And so, the real question is, what is the challenge? Well a part of it, of course, is K-12. We need to strengthen K-12. But the other part has to do with the culture of science and engineering on our campuses. Whether you know it or not, large numbers of students with high SAT's and large numbers of A.P. credits who go to the most prestigious universities in our country begin in pre-med or pre-engineering and engineering, and they end up changing their majors. And the number one reason, we find, quite frankly, is they did not do well in first year science courses. In fact, we call first year science and engineering, typically around America, weed-out courses or barrier courses. How many of you in this audience know somebody who started off in pre-med or engineering and changed their major within a year or two? It's an American challenge. Half of you in the room. I know. I know. I know. And what is interesting about that is that so many students are smart and can do it. We need to find ways of making it happen. So what are the four things we did to help minority students that now are helping students in general? Number one: high expectations. It takes an understanding of the academic preparation of students -- their grades, the rigor of the course work, their test-taking skills, their attitude, the fire in their belly, the passion for the work, to make it. And so doing things to help students prepare to be in that position, very important. But equally important, it takes an understanding that it's hard work that makes the difference. I don't care how smart you are or how smart you think you are. Smart simply means you're ready to learn. You're excited about learning and you want to ask good questions. I. I. Rabi, a Nobel laureate, said that when he was growing up in New York, all of his friends' parents would ask them "What did you learn in school?" at the end of a day. And he said, in contrast, his Jewish mother would say, "Izzy, did you ask a good question today?" And so high expectations have to do with curiosity and encouraging young people to be curious.</s>

The energy of empty space brings to life quantum fluctuations. And so even though the universe will last forever, and ordinary matter and radiation will dilute away, there will always be some radiation, some thermal fluctuations, even in empty space. So what this means is that the universe is like a box of gas that lasts forever. Well what is the implication of that? That implication was studied by Boltzmann back in the 19th century. He said, well, entropy increases because there are many, many more ways for the universe to be high entropy, rather than low entropy. But that's a probabilistic statement. It will probably increase, and the probability is enormously huge. It's not something you have to worry about -- the air in this room all gathering over one part of the room and suffocating us. It's very, very unlikely. Except if they locked the doors and kept us here literally forever, that would happen. Everything that is allowed, every configuration that is allowed to be obtained by the molecules in this room, would eventually be obtained. So Boltzmann says, look, you could start with a universe that was in thermal equilibrium. He didn't know about the Big Bang. He didn't know about the expansion of the universe. He thought that space and time were explained by Isaac Newton -- they were absolute; they just stuck there forever. So his idea of a natural universe was one in which the air molecules were just spread out evenly everywhere -- the everything molecules. But if you're Boltzmann, you know that if you wait long enough, the random fluctuations of those molecules will occasionally bring them into lower entropy configurations. And then, of course, in the natural course of things, they will expand back. So it's not that entropy must always increase -- you can get fluctuations into lower entropy, more organized situations. Well if that's true, Boltzmann then goes onto invent two very modern-sounding ideas -- the multiverse and the anthropic principle. He says, the problem with thermal equilibrium is that we can't live there. Remember, life itself depends on the arrow of time. We would not be able to process information, metabolize, walk and talk, if we lived in thermal equilibrium. So if you imagine a very, very big universe, an infinitely big universe, with randomly bumping into each other particles, there will occasionally be small fluctuations in the lower entropy states, and then they relax back. But there will also be large fluctuations. Occasionally, you will make a planet or a star or a galaxy or a hundred billion galaxies. So Boltzmann says, we will only live in the part of the multiverse, in the part of this infinitely big set of fluctuating particles, where life is possible. That's the region where entropy is low.</s>

Take care―” “I’ve decided to apply for the knight department at the Steitz Academy.” Melvis interrupted her in the middle of her farewell speech. Sheila’s eyes widened. “What? Even though you’re that small?” “Don’t call me small!” “I mean, Melvis is ten years old now, right? Are you going to be able to study in time?” You had to learn even religious studies, which weren’t taught to commoners, to become a special student. Sheila was truly a special case. Because of that, though, she was still busy with her studies to this day. Melvis bit back at the realistic remark. “I’m going to make it in time! I mean, you’re the one who made me feel like this!” “Eh? Did I put you up to it?” Melvis, frustrated by the unintelligible conversation, grabbed Sheila’s hand. The boy’s hand, which she had expected to be small, was surprisingly almost the same size as hers. He smiled boldly while laying his palms on top of hers as if to confirm that fact. Sheila blinked as she couldn’t understand his challenging gaze. The boy slowly weaved his resolve as though he were thinking about it. “I want to be a man who can protect someone like my brother. I don’t want to be someone who is only protected by you.” Melvis’s hands wrapped around Sheila’s hands protectively. His cheeks were dyed red, perhaps due to his desperation. “That’s why, I’ll definitely catch up with you, so just.... wait for me!” As if to say goodbye, Melvis, who turned bright red, ran away. Sheila was going to reply, “I’ll be waiting for you,” but she guessed he didn’t need a reply. Cody tapped Sheila on the shoulder as she stared at Melvis’ shrinking back. “.... What did you do to that boy?” “Eh? What? Why did you ask that in a definite form?” Tilting his head, Cody squinted at the boy’s back again. “But I’m happy. I’m glad to hear that people are following in our footsteps and want to join the Knight Order or the Patrol Corps.” “I don’t think that one was even like that.....” Cody’s mutterings didn’t reach Sheila’s ears, who smiled proudly. “Ah. Tomorrow, we’ll be back at the academy――” Sheila went back to the academy with the feeling of loneliness from the parting and many travel stories.</s>

Besides, it will be easier to move around in.” “I see. Thank you, Serulis.” Kathe seemed satisfied. “So, it will be me, Kathe, Goran and Eric who will go.

And the way the drug gets tested is through a series of, basically, experiments, through these large, they're called trials, that they do to determine whether the drug is safe and whether it works and all these things. So the FDA has a very specific protocol. In the first phase of this testing, which is called testing for toxicity, it's called Phase I. In the first phase, you give the drug to healthy people and you see if it actually makes them sick. In other words, are the side effects just so severe that no matter how much good it does, it's not going to be worth it? Does it cause heart attacks, kill people, liver failure, this kind of thing? And it turns out, that's a pretty high hurdle. About a third of all drugs drop out at that point. In the next phase, you test to see if the drug's effective, and what you do there is you give it to people with cancer and you see if it actually makes them better. And that's also a higher hurdle. People drop out. And in the third phase, you actually test it on a very large sample, and what you're trying to determine is what the right dose is, and also, is it better than what's available today? If not, then why build it? When you're done with all that, what you have is a very small percentage of drugs that start the process actually come out the other side. So those blue bottles, those blue bottles save lives, and they're also worth billions, sometimes billions a year. So now here's a question: if I were to ask you, for example, to make a one-time investment of, say, 200 million dollars to buy one of those bottles, so 200 million dollars up front, one time, to buy one of those bottles, I won't tell you which one it is, and in 10 years, I'll tell you whether you have one of the blue ones. Does that sound like a good deal for anybody? No. No, right? And of course, it's a very, very risky trial position, and that's why it's very hard to get funding, but to a first approximation, that's actually the proposal. You have to fund these things from the early stages on. It takes a long time. So Andrew said to me, he said, "What if we stop thinking about these as drugs? What if we start thinking about them as financial assets?" They've got really weird payoff structures and all that, but let's throw everything we know about financial engineering at them. Let's see if we can use all the tricks of the trade to figure out how to make these drugs work as financial assets? Let's create a giant fund. In finance, we know what to do with assets that are risky.</s>

There were those who burned with ambition to establish a nation, those that longed for government positions, those who loved freedom and adventure, those who created secret societies, and those who became merchants and assassins. Because of this, complaints gradually subsided. Furthermore, the freedom in the game wasn’t limited to that degree alone. For example, there were many kinds of items such as weapons, armor, and medicine that even included the legendary class. But on top of that, it was also possible to create totally new items depending on the creativity of the player. They were even able to create things beyond the legendary level. You could say that you could do anything in game that you could also do in reality. For some players that were totally addicted to playing the role of a blacksmith, they will be known under the name of a skillful craftsman by the players. For example, one sword had been traded for millions. For those who choose to do carpentry, some players developed building technology and some had even built castles as well. The players who were obsessed with digging undiscovered hot springs, and are now managers of hot-spring resorts. A friend of Kagami’s thought of teaching fencing and opened up a dojo in order to teach. What kind of skills are possible? What kind of things are possible? Players challenged a variety of things, anyone could become successful. People said that there were no limits to the system in sight. People were able to invent new sports, people were able to realize their romantic dreams of pirates, there were people who collected information single-handedly, and there were even those who sold information while walking on a tightrope of danger. Also, there was a person who created lists of skills that were divided by class. They visited players who created original skills and summarized it in a book for those who wished to learn the details of the skills. The book was published as a skill list book, and it became a huge bestseller. He amassed a great amount of wealth. As a matter of fact, Danbulf is a great man who developed some special skills as well. One is a skill that he made from trial and error to make up for the weaknesses of a magic class. What was the skill? It was a second class. Kagami’s main class was a Summoner, in addition to that, he had another magician class that was called the Sage. This was a class that specialized in close-quarters combat. In order to acquire the class, various training methods were used. From being struck by a waterfall, hanging upside down from trees for a day, walking against a storm, and various other things. By the way, one month since the game was released, someone was able to find a way to acquire magic skills. A magic catalyst was paired up with a piece of magic paper with a magic circle drawn on it. Then, magic experts had to use 【Magic: Flame】 to burn it. The problem was that many catalysts were needed and the paper itself hardly appears.</s>

You do not expect me to listen to your request without an explanation, do you?” “Then, if I explain it, will you teach me?” Shurei pondered for a moment. The technique to transform into a human was not something he was reluctant to give... but it was natural for him to feel something was up for Kafal who left their group to suddenly come back just for that. “...So be it. It remains contingent, however. Should I hear that you have succumbed to the charms of a human man this time, I may be compelled to contemplate locking my youngest tomboy daughter away.” Kafal raised her head slightly.

I hadn’t eaten such delicious food even in my past life. Certainly, since it was a farming village the food was bland and there was no gourmet cooking. Yet, taste isn’t determined purely by the ingredients and technique. I believe who cooked the food is equally as important. There’s nothing quite like a mother’s cooking. So I absolutely refuse to waste such food again. Sierra complained next to me, interrupting my secret vow. It looks as if Princess Sierra greatly desires some water. “Okay, okay. Have half of mine.” I answered and handed her my half empty cup. But then, Sierra was about to drink when the cup slipped out of her hands. The water spilled from the cup, soaking her clothes. “Ah.” “Oh no...you’re drenched,” Mother and I cried out. “No choice. Sierra, let’s go change.” “No, it’s okay. I can dry it now.” I said and pointed my palm towards Sierra’s wet clothes. Mother looked at me concerned. “Gerald-chan...” “Yes?” “Sierra isn’t like soup; we can’t lose her.

I cleared my throat, breaking the infinite loop. “It’ll be fine, look. Drive away the dampness, the abominable clamminess!” A warm breeze was released from my palm, instantly drying Sierra’s damp clothes. The effect of this ridiculous incantation was to dry things. It had the power to dry wet things. With this, it was possible to quickly dry clothes even if it’s raining. If the washing line was inside, it won’t become humid and would prevent the clothes from smelling. “Amazing, Gerald-chan! I believed you could do it!” Mother exclaimed overjoyed. She was excited like a child. I didn’t know whether to feel proud or insulted by her reaction, due to her lack of confidence not so long ago. Yep, Sierra was still innocent and cute. So adorable. What a wonderful creature. “That’s weird, I was sure Mother was extremely skeptical before.” “Of course. There’s no way I wouldn’t believe in Gerald-chan.

Since he was supposed to be a dragon skeleton, it would mean that he was dead from the very beginning. Yet what was with him dying and then turning into an Argonaut? Or rather, if he was going to resurrect at all, then he should at least properly resurrect with the same appearance as before he died. Why did he even remain as a skeleton? “Ruphas-sama, we’ll soon be leaving the humanoids’ domain. I predict that we may be attacked by demons. Please prepare for such an outcome.” I acknowledged Libra’s warnings and then looked outside of the ship. When I did, I saw a bunch of demons rushing towards the ship and aiming for us. If it was against just those guys, now that we had a heavily concentrated amount of significant war potential, even if I did not do anything, Libra and the crew would be able to do something about it, but... since it was a good opportunity... I thought that it would be better for them to experience firsthand the resurrection of Ruphas Mafahl. “There’s no problem. I will go.” I cut in front of Libra and hopped out of the ship before taking flight. By doing this, I was able to see the swarms and swarms and swarms of demons. This is pretty amazing. They’re filling up the whole sky. In terms of numbers... there’s so many that I can’t count them all, but maybe there’s over a hundred thousand of them? Either way, if you think normally, we’re significantly outnumbered. If you think normally, that is. “Heheh! There are idiots that came out from the humanoids’ domain!” “Phew, it’s a chick!” “Ain’t she a good woman? I wanna do her.” The demons, who were impressed by my appearance, started jeering and the likes, yet I simply pointed my index finger upwards. On top of my index finger, a small marble-sized ball of light was created, illuminating my face. “What a brave lady she is. She probably doesn’t realise our levels. Ignorance is so scary, isn’t it?” “Alright, before we fight, I’ll teach you despair... hopeless despair. Listen well and be amazed, for all of our levels are 250! Those Seven Luminaries that you guys are desperately fighting against are, you know, actually not that much stronger than us. In this Dark Continent, there are people with those kinds of abilities everywhere!” “You can’t even say anything cuz you’re scared, right? Of course you are! After all, there are so many enemies with the same strength as the ones who are tormenting you guys. You must be so scared that you can’t even squeak and you’ve leaked yourself, right??” Ahh, yeah, they’re raising flags. There’s a lot of these guys in RPG games, aren’t there? These kinds of enemies show up in the early or mid-game as enemy officers or commanders and even though they’re overwhelmingly stronger than other enemies, for some reason, in the late-game dungeons, they only show up playing the role of a small-fry mob. When I was playing games, I wondered why they didn’t go and become officers elsewhere. I was quite curious back then.</s>

If he asked the miracle-working priest for help, it would heal in no time. However, he would have to be prepared to increase his debt, which was a necessary note. He could not rest calmly and could not recover quickly either. Perhaps he had been working too hard as an adventurer lately. Habits were a frightening thing, as even someone who had previously led such a lazy life like Mitrof was now struggling with boredom. Sleeping alone in his cramped room felt too idle, so Mitrof decided to leave. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he had his sword belt and thrusting sword hanging from his waist. He knew it was unnecessary, but the weight of having it by his side gave him a sense of calm. During bright daylight, the city was bustling with different activities than at night. Mitrof would usually walk around during the night after returning from his explorations. Sometimes, he would walk until late at night. Within the labyrinth, where there was no sun or stars, it was difficult to tell time. There were horse carriages running along the main streets. To clear the way for people passing by, the coachmen would ring their bells. Newspaper boys would walk around shouting, while street performers would entertain the crowds on other streets. The deafening noise slowly blended in with the lively atmosphere of the city. Mitrof walked aimlessly, without any particular destination in mind, without any acquaintances to visit, and with only a cheap inn to return to. Even amidst the crowd of people passing by, Mitrof felt lonely. Suddenly, he left the crowd and headed towards a narrow path. He did not know where it would lead him, nor did he have a specific destination in mind. As he turned a few corners, the presence of people around him gradually faded, and the small paths sandwiched between buildings seemed to go on endlessly. Even though it was midday, there was a dim light cast over the area. Tattered clothes were hung overhead for shade, and emaciated men sat on the roadside, smoking cigarettes. A bit further up, a group of men were gathered around a barrel with wooden pieces, playing a card game. Their glares told Mitrof that he didn’t belong there. Just as he thought about turning back, one of the wooden doors at the end of the street opened, and a small figure emerged from within. The light leaking through the gap in the canopy above was harsh, shining on a hooded figure. The silver hair flowing down the figures’ necks reflected the particles of light. Suddenly, their gazes met. They both recognized each other’s faces without a doubt. Mitrof was surprised, it was a face he knew well. “——Grace?”</s>

The giant forest located northeast of Juka Kingdom. It’s inhabited by all kinds of monsters. Regarding monsters. They are classified by the kingdom from S rank to E rank. In Runo forest, there are monsters from A to E rank, rather wide range. Moreover, there is also Juka Mountain Range with dragons living atop the mountains; it’s extremely difficult for a human to reach such altitude. Without any alternatives, although the trade with Baitos Dukedom exists, it is happening only once a year, during the New Year celebrations. And right now, I’m standing inside this forest. For some reason, Eril is with me. The day before I needed to go to the Runo forest she said that she will accompany me all of the sudden. 「You can meet with powerful monsters, right? You need some protection, Rinos」 This reason lacked credibility but she forced it. Then, right before the departure, she dragged me on the horse and placed me behind herself. 「Hold on tight!」 And then we rode at full speed. There are regulations against running at full speed in the capital, though it’s not that rare for soldiers to run at full speed during the emergencies. Since it was the morning, there weren’t many pedestrians on the streets, so the chaos was avoided. From the Versam family to the Runo forest it’s hour-long walk on foot. Since I’m a kid, I tried to get ready early to save some time, bit thanks to Eril I arrived in just minutes. Due to her rather rough style of riding, I bit my tongue at one moment and stealthily healed it. Let’s make it a secret. 「All right, let’s hunt some monsters!」「My lady, I’m the one who supposed to hunt today」「I-I mean in case you meet a monster you can’t handle」「I see, I will do my best to avoid that」 I will try to scan the forest with the mana detection. The LV is low so the range is small, but I still can detect a number of presences. Their mana is low so it’s probably something like a goblin. As long as it is a monster, it has mana and can be sensed. According to the theory, monsters were born from mana, and the stronger they are the more mana they have. I enter the forest while tracking the enemy’s mana. The light dims deeper into the forest and my line of sight shortens. Although I usually maintain the barrier around me, let’s raise its strength a little.</s>

The hind legs have got the same action. BJ: And Mikey also has, in his fingers, the ability to move the tail from left to right, and up and down with the other hand. And together, there's quite a complex possibility of tail expression. AK: You want to say something about the breathing? BJ: We had a big challenge with breathing. Adrian thought that he was going to have to split the chest of the puppet in two and make it breathe like that -- because that's how a horse would breathe, with an expanded chest. But we realized that, if that were to be happening, you wouldn't, as an audience, see the breath. So he made a channel in here, and the chest moves up and down in that channel. So it's anti-naturalistic really, the up and down movement, but it feels like breath. because all that happens is that the puppeteer breathes with his knees. AK: Other emotional stuff. If I were to touch the horse here on his skin, the heart puppeteer can shake the body from inside and get the skin to quiver. You'll notice, of course, that the puppet is made out of cane lines. that I was making a three-dimensional drawing of a horse that somehow moves in space. But of course, it was the cane is light, the cane is flexible, the cane is durable and the cane is moldable. And so it was a very practical reason why it was made of cane. The skin itself is made out of a see-through nylon mesh, which, if the lighting designer wants the horse to almost disappear, she can light the background and the horse becomes ghostlike. You see the skeletal structure of it. Or if you light it from above, it becomes more solid. Again, that was a practical consideration. The guys inside the horse have to be able to see out. They have to be able to act along with their fellow actors in the production. And it's very much an in-the-moment activity that they're engaged in. It's three heads making one character. But now we would like you to put Joey through some paces. And plant. Thank you. And now just -- All the way from sunny California we have Zem Joaquin who's going to ride the horse for us. So we would like to stress that the performance you see in the horse who have studied horse behavior incredibly thoroughly.

And it carried 56 people at the speed of a Buick at an altitude you could hear dogs bark, and it cost twice as much as a first-class cabin on the Normandie to fly it. So the Hindenburg wasn't, you know, it was inevitable it was going to go. This is auto-gyro jousting in Malibu in the 30s. The auto-gyro couldn't wait for the invention of the helicopter, but it should have -- it wasn't a big success. It's the only Spanish innovation, technologically, of the 20th century, by the way. You needed to know that. The flying car which never got off the ground -- it was a post-war dream. My old man used to tell me we were going to get a flying car. This is pitched into the future from 1946, looking at the day all American families have them. "There's Moscow, Shirley. Hope they speak Esperanto!" Faux-nostalgia, which I'm sort of -- not, say, famous for, but I work an awful lot in it. It's the achingly sentimental yearning for times that never happened. Somebody once said that nostalgia is the one utterly most useless human emotion -- so I think that’s a case for serious play. This is emblematic of it -- this is wing dining, recalling those balmy summer days somewhere over France in the 20s, dining on the wing of a plane. You can't see it very well here, but that's Hemingway reading some pages from his new novel to Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford until the slipstream blows him away. This is tank polo in the South Hamptons. The brainless rich are more fun to make fun of than anybody. I do a lot of that. And authenticity is a major part of my serious nonsense. I think it adds a huge amount. Those, for example, are Mark IV British tanks from 1916. They had two machine guns and a cannon, and they had 90 horsepower Ricardo engines. They went five miles an hour and inside it was 105 degrees in the pitch dark. And they had a canary hung inside the thing to make sure the Germans weren't going to use gas. Happy little story, isn't it? This is Motor Ritz Towers in Manhattan in the 30s, where you drove up to your front door, if you had the guts. Anybody who was anybody had an apartment there. I managed to stick in both the zeppelin and an ocean liner out of sheer enthusiasm. And I love cigars -- there's a cigar billboard down there. And faux-nostalgia works even in serious subjects like war. This is those wonderful days of the Battle of Britain in 1940, when a Messerschmitt ME109 bursts into the House of Commons and buzzes around, just to piss off Churchill, who's down there somewhere.</s>

What do we do? I wish we could just fight back, but we only have spellcasters so the front lines will be too weak! And we barely have any warriors on our side, aaahhhh!」 (Hmmm, I guess this is what they call youthful indiscretion, to show this meeting in a play...) On top of that, the salute given by the Nine Wisemen only existed after the defense of Elderwood, all members thinking of it collectively in an excited meeting. It was inaccurate to show it so early in the play. Though that was a detail only those present at the time would be aware of. Mira tried to push those thoughts aside and focus on enjoying the play the way it was meant to. During the fourth act of the play, they recreated a scene where Danbulf summoned a Holy Knight to hold the front lines while Luminaria made a barrage of flames rain on the enemy troops. It was the moment in the battle that showed just how overpowering spellcasters were. (I’m so cool!) The special effects and music on display made the scene all the more impactful, with loud cheers coming from the crowd. But Mira was mostly focused on the actor portraying Danbulf. He was already past middle-age, and clearly a veteran actor as he skillfully portrayed his role. All his movements were majestic and well-rehearsed, showing how experienced Danbulf was as a spellcaster. In a way, he looked even better than Mira did herself during her time as Danbulf. Having met two men resembling her ideal, Mira was in the best of moods as she tipped her glass to take a sip. The play ended and the curtains closed amidst a torrent of cheering. Once the lights were turned on again, Mira happily stuffed her cheeks with the cake she received as dessert. The orchestra that had livened up the earlier play now performed soft and calming music like the flow of water. There were still some traces of the melody used in the exciting last scene, but they were all subdued and slowed down. Done eating her cake, Mira lifted her now empty glass with a slight frown, getting out a bottle of Apple au Lait instead and downing it in a breath. Her lips pursed as she glared at the empty bottle of Apple au Lait, recalling her stock was running low. Next, she slammed her hands on the table as she propped herself up, walked to the bar and spoke to the cook 「Can I ask you something real quick? Do you sell Apple au Lait in bottles like this one here?」 As she spoke, Mira slammed the empty bottle on the counter. There were few clients around, so the woman across was busy washing dishes, but she turned hearing Mira’s voice, a quizzical look quickly overtaking her face. 「Are you feeling alright?」「Hm?」</s>

And the theme of the article was how to remove Lyndon Johnson from power. So I was certain he would kick me out of the program. But instead, surprisingly, he said, "Oh, bring her down here for a year, and if I can't win her over, no one can." So I did end up working for him in the White House. Eventually accompanied him to his ranch to help him on those memoirs, I like to believe it was because I was a good listener. He was a great storyteller. Fabulous, colorful, anecdotal stories. There was a problem with these stories, however, which I later discovered, which is that half of them weren't true. But they were great, nonetheless. So I think that part of his attraction for me was that I loved listening to his tall tales. But I also worried that part of it was that I was then a young woman. And he had somewhat of a minor league womanizing reputation. So I constantly chatted to him about boyfriends, even when I didn't have any at all. Everything was working perfectly, until one day he said he wanted to discuss our relationship. Sounded very ominous when he took me nearby to the lake, conveniently called Lake Lyndon Baines Johnson. And there was wine and cheese and a red-checked tablecloth -- all the romantic trappings. And he started out, "Doris, more than any other woman I have ever known ... " And my heart sank. And then he said, "You remind me of my mother." It was pretty embarrassing, given what was going on in my mind. But I must say, the older I've gotten, the more I realize what an incredible privilege it was to have spent so many hours with this aging lion of a man. A victor in a thousand contests, three great civil rights laws, Medicare, aid to education. And yet, roundly defeated in the end by the war in Vietnam. And because he was so sad and so vulnerable, had I known him at the height of his power -- sharing his fears, his sorrows and his worries. And I'd like to believe that the privilege fired within me the drive to understand the inner person behind the public figure, that I've tried to bring to each of my books since then. which Erik Erikson had tried to instill in all of us about the importance of finding balance in life. For on the surface, Lyndon Johnson should have had in the sense that he had been elected to the presidency; he had all the money he needed to pursue any leisure activity he wanted; he owned a spacious ranch in the countryside, a penthouse in the city, sailboats, speedboats. He had servants to answer any whim, and he had a family who loved him deeply.</s>

So what is evolution's answer to the problem of uncertainty? It's play. Now play is not simply a process. Experts in play will tell you that actually it's a way of being. Play is one of the only human endeavors where uncertainty is actually celebrated. Uncertainty is what makes play fun. Right? It's adaptable to change. Right? It opens possibility, and it's cooperative. It's actually how we do our social bonding, and it's intrinsically motivated. What that means is that we play to play. Play is its own reward. Now if you look at these five ways of being, these are the exact same ways of being you need in order to be a good scientist. Science is not defined by the method section of a paper. It's actually a way of being, which is here, and this is true for anything that is creative. So if you add rules to play, you have a game. That's actually what an experiment is. So armed with these two ideas, that science is a way of being and experiments are play, we asked, can anyone become a scientist? And who better to ask than 25 eight- to 10-year-old children? Because they're experts in play. So I took my bee arena down to a small school in Devon, and the aim of this was to not just get the kids to see science differently, but, through the process of science, to see themselves differently. Right? The first step was to ask a question. Now, I should say that we didn't get funding for this study because the scientists said small children couldn't make a useful contribution to science, and the teachers said kids couldn't do it. So we did it anyway. Right? Of course. So, here are some of the questions. I put them in small print so you wouldn't bother reading it. Point is that five of the questions that the kids came up with were actually the basis of science publication the last five to 15 years. Right? So they were asking questions that were significant to expert scientists. Now here, I want to share the stage with someone quite special. Right? She was one of the young people who was involved in this study, and she's now one of the youngest published scientists in the world. Right? She will now, once she comes onto stage, will be the youngest person to ever speak at TED. Right? Now, science and asking questions is about courage. Now she is the personification of courage, because she's going to stand up here and talk to you all.</s>

In the end, Mira obtained two Nilt Cores, since it was impossible to retrieve one from the Niltreant that burned to ashes. Next, Mira let the unexpectedly hardworking Cait Sithclimb on her shoulder as they headed to the location with the next Founding Seed. Around one hour later after they entered the Tenma Labyrinth Primal Forest, and by the time Mira’s stomach began feeling somewhat empty, she had already gathered the ten Founding Seeds Solomon had requested. All thanks to Cait Sith’s great efforts. By the time Mira defeated the umpteenth Niltreant, she began getting the hang of using partial summoning out of something akin to muscle memory. Around them there were many black stains everywhere as well, the remains of the poisonous fruits some Niltreants would throw. While Niltreants were a subspecies of treemen, they too were divided into three types. Those who had arms like spears, others that threw poisonous fruits, and lastly those who could throw poisonous fruits as well as conifer leaves. So far, Mira had remained in the outer edge of the Tenma Labyrinth Primal Forest. As one headed towards the center, even more valuable items could be found, but the monsters would also grow proportionally stronger. The very center was home to powerful foes that could make even someone as strong as the Nine Wisemen struggle, at least if it was someone alone. But even then, Founding Seeds could be found in every area of the forest, so there was no need to go that deep inside. 「I’m pretty much done here, so it’s about time I go back.」 Cait Sith climbed back on Mira’s shoulder to his usual spot. Since the entrance and exit were in different locations, they had to search for their way out now, but since the place was like a very irregular forest, any regular person would lose their bearings almost instantly, making justice to the labyrinth part of the location’s name. But since Mira had been there many times before, she knew how to find the exit. She narrowed her eyes and looked around, trying to find a landmark. 「Hmmm... I can’t find it. First lieutenant, can you see a blue flower anywhere?」「A blue flower? I’ll try searching for it.」 Since she was unable to find it herself, she asked Cait Sith for assistance. He accepted the request, the sign changing to 「Searching...」 and his eyes turning round as he looked around, carefully examining every branch, every leaf, anything that hid under the vines, everywhere he could. 「I meownd it. It’s over there!」 Atop Mira’s head, he signaled with the light of his eyes to a certain location. 「Good job,」 she said, lightly caressing his chin before leaping towards that direction.</s>

So we invented, without asking, of course, the Incredible Edible Green Route.

And then there's the second plate, the learning plate. Well, we're in partnership with a high school. We've created a company. We are designing and building an aquaponics unit in some land that was spare at the back of the high school, like you do, and now we're going to be growing fish and vegetables in an orchard with bees, and the kids are helping us build that, and the kids are on the board, and because the community was really keen on working with the high school, the high school is now teaching agriculture, and because it's teaching agriculture, we started to think, how could we then get those kids that never had a qualification before in their lives but are really excited about growing, how can we give them some more experience? So we got some land that was donated by a local garden center. It was really quite muddy, but in a truly incredible way, totally voluntary-led, we have turned that into a market garden training center, and that is polytunnels and raised beds and all the things you need to get the soil under your fingers and think maybe there's a job in this for me in the future. And because we were doing that, some local academics said, "You know, we could help design a commercial horticulture course for you. There's not one that we know of." So they're doing that, and we're going to launch it later this year, and it's all an experiment, and it's all voluntary. And then there's the third plate, because if you walk through an edible landscape, and if you're learning new skills, and if you start to get interested in what's growing seasonally, you might just want to spend more of your own money in support of local producers, not just veg, but meat and cheese and beer and whatever else it might be. But then, we're just a community group, you know. We're just all volunteers. What could we actually do? So we did some really simple things. We fundraised, we got some blackboards, we put "Incredible Edible" on the top, we gave it every market trader that was selling locally, and they scribbled on what they were selling in any one week. Really popular. People congregated around it. Sales were up.</s>

That’s because even though your stamina is back the blood is still lost.” Hmmm, since he lacks blood—then food which can increase his blood is necessary. To make blood you need protein, then that would mean meat. Other things are dairy products, something like cheese. Vegetables are also good for blood vessels, for quick energy recovery then it’s grains or oil, also sugar. Then, that “—then, I will cook an easy to eat food and bring it to you when I visit tomorrow, as an apology.” At my suggestion, Joey’s expression turned complicated. “Cooking.... You will?” “......That’s rude. I don’t care if you’re unable to stand up because of the surprise after eating it!” ◆◇◆◇ “When it comes to meat, cheese, vegetables, and bread, of course that would mean a cheeseburger!” “Hamburger huh? Then how about we buy it from the rival burger shops on the main road, ‘Death Burger’, ‘Burger in Monster’ or ‘Dung Beetle Burger Shop’?” What a bunch of scarily named stores. “...No, if we bought from there then that would mean it’s not handmade.” I won’t be able to look him in the face anymore if my get-well gift dealt a coup-de-grace to him. Then the next day Joey, who ate the cheeseburger Hiyuki made, was impressed by its deliciousness. “It’s delicious! What is this thing!?” As she looked at him while he happily ate in surprise, Hiyuki puffed her chest with pride and proclaimed, “How is that, it’s pretty good, isn’t it?” “This is incredibly delicious! It’ll be great if I can eat this dish every day.” Joey looked at Hiyuki with a meaningful glance, but Hiyuki who didn’t notice it frowned and tilted her head a little, “If you eat it every day, won’t the calories be bad for your body? Well, if it’s only once in a while it won’t become a problem, so I’ll teach the landlady the recipe later.” That answer dealt a coup-de-grace to the young boy’s heart.</s>

The onus is not on the rest of us to say why not. We, who are atheists, are also a-fairyists and a-teapotists. But we don't bother to say so. And this is why my friend uses "tooth-fairy agnostic" as a label for what most people would call atheist. Nonetheless, if we want to attract deep-down atheists to come out publicly, we're going to have find something better to stick on our banner than "tooth-fairy" or "teapot agnostic." So, how about "humanist"? This has the advantage of a worldwide network of well-organized associations and journals and things already in place. My problem with it is only its apparent anthropocentrism. One of the things we've learned from Darwin is that the human species is only one among millions of cousins, some close, some distant. And there are other possibilities, like "naturalist," but that also has problems of confusion, because Darwin would have thought naturalist -- "Naturalist" means, of course, as opposed to "supernaturalist" -- and it is used sometimes -- Darwin would have been confused by the other sense of "naturalist," which he was, of course, and I suppose there might be others who would confuse it with "nudism". Such people might be those belonging to the British lynch mob, which last year attacked a pediatrician in mistake for a pedophile. I think the best of the available alternatives for "atheist" is simply "non-theist." It lacks the strong connotation that there's definitely no God, and it could therefore easily be embraced by teapot or tooth-fairy agnostics. It's completely compatible with the God of the physicists. When atheists like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein use the word "God," they use it of course as a metaphorical shorthand for that deep, mysterious part of physics which we don't yet understand. "Non-theist" will do for all that, yet unlike "atheist," it doesn't have the same phobic, hysterical responses. But I think, actually, the alternative is to grasp the nettle of the word "atheism" itself, precisely because it is a taboo word, carrying frissons of hysterical phobia.</s>
Translate this from Japanese to English: ### JAPANESE: アート作品がただ一つしかないということは、伝統に組み込まれていることと、分けて考えることはできない。この伝統は変わることなく、いまでも脈々と受け継がれている。異なった伝統の流れにもとづいているからだ。しかしながら、両方とも等しく、「アウラ」という、ただひとつしかない、という事実に直面している。もともとは、伝統におけるアートの文脈の一本化は宗教におけるアートのなかに見出されたものである。最も初期のアートは、儀式などに用いられたものだというのはよく知られている。 ---最初は魔術的な用途で、だんだん儀式的なものに移り変わってきたのだ。重要なのは「アウラ」を持ったアート作品が儀式的な役割と切っても切り離せないところだ。言い換えれば、「ホンモノの」アート作品の、ただひとつしかないという意味での価値は、儀式的なものに基づき、オリジナルだという価値もそこにあるのだ。この儀式的な基礎は、間接的であるにせよ、美の信仰対象のありかたにおいて世俗化した儀式として認識できる。世俗的な信仰対象の美は、ルネッサンスの時代に発展し、三百年もの間、主流になった。これは、儀式的なものの衰退と危機をはじめてはっきりと示したものだ。複製の本当の意味での革新の到来とともに、写真や社会主義の台頭とともに生まれたアートは、100年ほどのちに現実となる、すぐそこにある危機を意味していた。そのとき、時代のアートは理論とともに「アートのためのアート」という考え方を掲げていた。これは、「アートのための」考え方としては、ネガティブな理論である。社会におけるアートの、どんな役割をも否定し、その主題によって分類することをも否定した。 (文学においては詩人のマラルメが最初にこの立場をとった。) 機械的な複製時代のアートの分析はこれらの関係をもとに判断を行っていく必要がある。その分析が、すべて重要な洞察を導いていく。歴史上、初めて機械的な複製はアート作品を儀式的なものに寄生して頼らなければならないということから解き放ったのだ。アート作品がかつてないほどに複製されるということは、アート作品自身を複製に適しているように、姿を変えさせた。写真のネガフィルムから、いくらでも写真を焼き増しできるのは、そのよい例だ。写真の場合において「ホンモノの」プリントというのは意味のないことだ。そして、「ホンモノらしさ」の基準が、アート作品を制作することにおいて問題ではなくなったとたんに、アートのすべての役割はひっくり返されてしまうのだ。儀式的なものに基づく代わりに、別のものに基づくようになる ---そう、政治だ。アート作品は異なる水準で受け取られ評価される。すなわち、二つの見方による。ひとつは、昔ながらのもので、宗教的な価値だ。 ### ENGLISH: The uniqueness of a work of art is inseparable from its being imbedded in the fabric of tradition. This tradition itself is thoroughly alive and extremely changeable. An ancient statue of Venus, for example, stood in a different traditional context with the Greeks, who made it an object of veneration, than with the clerics of the Middle Ages, who viewed it as an ominous idol. Both of them, however, were equally confronted with its uniqueness, that is, its aura. Originally the contextual integration of art in tradition found its expression in the cult. We know that the earliest art works originated in the service of a ritual --first the magical, then the religious kind. It is significant that the existence of the work of art with reference to its aura is never entirely separated from its ritual function. In other words, the unique value of the "authentic" work of art has its basis in ritual, the location of its original use value. This ritualistic basis, however remote, is still recognizable as secularized ritual even in the most profane forms of the cult of beauty. The secular cult of beauty, developed during the Renaissance and prevailing for three centuries, clearly showed that ritualistic basis in its decline and the first deep crisis which befell it. With the advent of the first truly revolutionary means of reproduction, photography, simultaneously with the rise of socialism, art sensed the approaching crisis which has become evident a century later. At the time, art reacted with the doctrine of l'art pour l'art, that is, with a theology of art. This gave rise to what might be called a negative theology in the form of the idea of "pure" art, which not only denied any social function of art but also any categorizing by subject matter. (In poetry, Mallarm* was the first to take this position.) An analysis of art in the age of mechanical reproduction must do justice to these relationships, for they lead us to an all-important insight: for the first time in world history, mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual. To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From a photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the "authentic" print makes no sense. But the instant the criterion of authenticity ceases to be applicable to artistic production, the total function of art is reversed. Instead of being based on ritual, it begins to be based on another practice --politics. Works of art are received and valued on different planes. Two polar types stand out:: with one, the accent is on the cult value;</s>

As expected, a jail worthy of the Imperial castle, the quality of the metal ore that was used to create the dungeon was certainly excellent, the magic formations carved on the ground in order to not let any prisoners escape was also excellent. Any person that attempts to break out, or anyone sneaking in will definitely die, there were also traps engraved onto the walls that seemed to be extremely painful when tripped, but, as long as the aria that releases the trap is not recited properly it’ll be fine, though in the first place, arbitrary actions might have been predicted and sealed off already. With that, there is no possibility of being able to break into the prison, while being tormented by the putrid smell without even one light, if someone is placed in a cell, an ordinary man would go insane in just a day. Guards are situated in front of the only door leading down from the outside, their replacement schedules are much longer during the night time. However, despite being one of the worst places, now, for some reason there were many voices heard. “Oi, how many did you break today?” “All his fingers, and 2 ribs....You?” “Hehe, it’s my win. All his fingers and 3 ribs I believe?” “Ha, only to that extent? I broke 7 ribs and his cheekbones.....and also one of his Usamimi’s” “Are you serious? Just what did you do? Though they don’t really care how we beat them, they specifically said not to put our hands on their Usamimi’s....” , it’s just the usual, who’s the person that you’re working for? because, he never answered my question properly. .....Then he said. “Uwaa~, I guess, anyone would lose their temper over that....” “But, those fellows, their Usamimi’s aren’t dropping down at all, maybe they’ve received orders? it might be something like disobeying us “Ah~, they’ll definitely be disposed of. Kekeke, I can’t get enough of this stuff~!” When I heard them, they were boasting of who inflicted the most damage. Though they didn’t die because the minimum amount of recovery magic was used, to have the courage to talk about it in the middle of the room, the owners of the voices state that their prisoners are all covered in wounds. Still holding it in and enduring it, the identities of those being joked about was, the Hauria that were caught by the Empire. They, competing who dealt the most injuries, weren’t particularly out of order. As they’ve already prepared themselves for it.</s>

And that was when, before we did this in any developing countries -- we're doing it, in fact, in three developing countries right now: Pakistan, Colombia and Senegal -- we did it in some pretty rough areas of New York City. And one child, whose name I've forgotten, was about seven or eight years old, absolutely considered mentally handicapped -- couldn't read, didn't even make it in the lowest section of the school's classes -- and was pretty much not in school, though physically there. But did hang around the, quote, "computer room," where there were quite a few computers, and learned this particular language called Logo -- and learned it with great ease and found it a lot of fun, it was very interesting. And one day, by chance, some visitors from the NIE came by in their double-breasted suits looking at this setup, and none of the children who were normally there, except for this one child, were there. He was, and he said, "Let me show you how this works," and they got an absolutely ingenuous, wonderful description of Logo. And the child was just zipping right through it, showing them all sorts of things until they asked him how to do something which he couldn't explain and so he flipped through the manual, found the explanation and typed the command and got it to do what they asked. They were delighted, and by the time it was time to go see the principal, they went upstairs and they said, "This is absolutely remarkable! That child was very articulate and showed us and even dealt with the things he couldn't do automatically with that manual. It was just absolutely fantastic." The principal said, "There's a dreadful mistake, because that child can't read. And you obviously have been hoodwinked or you've talked about somebody else." And they all got up and they all went downstairs and the child was still there. And they did something very intelligent: they asked the child, "Can you read?" And the child said, "No, I can't." And then they said, "But wait a minute. You just looked through that manual and you found ... " and he said, "Oh, but that's not reading." And so they said, "Well, what's reading then?" He says, "Well, reading is this junk they give me in little books to read. It's absolutely irrelevant, and I get nothing for it. But here, with a little bit of effort I get a lot of return." And it really meant something to the child. The child read beautifully, it turned out, and was really very competent. So it actually meant something. And that story has many other anecdotes that are similar, but wow. The key to the future of computers in education is right there, and it is: when does it mean something to a child? There is a myth, and it truly is a myth: we believe -- and I'm sure a lot of you believe in this room -- that it is harder to read and write than it is to learn how to speak.</s>

At the same time, Benetnash suddenly overflowed with divine power all throughout her body. Power filled her entire being. Is this it? So this is the secret behind how the Heroes won against Ruphas. She had always thought that everything was strange. She had always thought it was a mystery that even though there was such a massive difference between Ruphas and the Heroes, the Heroes were able to come out victorious. But finally, she understood. If it was like this, it was understandably no longer impossible to end up victorious. All the more, if it was her which gained such a power, it would enable her to fight against Ruphas on almost equal footing. With this... if I have this power, I’ll be able to battle against her. As a consequence, Benetnash laughed at the situation and then opened her mouth. “You’re in the way. Scram.” Benetnash could feel that the owner of the voice was surprised by her response. However, she did not know why she was surprised to that extent nor did she care to want to understand why. This fight was hers. The battle that she had long continued to seek. And at the end of that battle, whether it be a victory or defeat, whether it be life or death, everything was hers alone. As if I’ll even give a single millimetre of it away. What kind of a misunderstanding is this stupid woman under? Did she think for a moment that I would be happy with this? Did she think that everyone would get on their knees to pray, worship and say, “Ah, thank you very much, Goddess” like fools or something? Know your place. There’s a limit to how impudent you can be. I’ve never once called for an idiot like you nor have I ever had the need to. When did I ever say I needed your support? Since when have I ever wished for help from an insignificant idiot like you? That affectionate Goddess mask of yours and your hands that try to bless me are disgusting and make me want to puke. Don’t you dare try to touch me, trash. The only one in this place that’s permitted to come in contact with me is her alone. “Didn’t you hear me? I’ve said to scram already, Alovenus – you third rate author!” Benetnash shouted out loud and silvery light overflowed from her body. At the same time, the power, which was seeping from her body, was extinguished and the divine power itself was blown away from her. I don’t need it. I have no need for a fake power like that. Sure, I want to win against Ruphas even if I have to exchange my life for it, but if I have to win using a borrowed power like that, even dying would be better. In the first place, winning like that is not your own victory. Even if a person were to win like that, it would merely mean that an individual that received the Goddess’s power won and it would not be the individual’s victory alone. I thought to win regardless of what kind of dirty tactics I had to use. I wished to surpass her even if I had to look unsightly. But I’ve never wished to fall to the point of becoming someone else’s tool nor win using someone else’s power. That’s right, this battle is my fight. This stage is for just Ruphas and myself.</s>

Returning to the talk, if it is with a degraded version of the crystal key perhaps it’s possible to break through that Divine Gate. It’s vexing but... there is nothing to do but wait until the large invasion three days from now when the apostles reappear.” “it will be easier if Ehito is worried when Aruvheit doesn’t come back and he come out himself from the other side, though...” Kaori murmured that, but the possibility seemed low. Ehito most likely wouldn’t come out until he became able to completely control the body, and the time that he was able to do that would be the time of the large invasion. In that case, it didn’t change that it would be the other side who came and this side who had to go to them. “... Before talking about that, can we win, I wonder?” The one who murmured that was Suzu. She was looking down and a thick shadow covered her face. Surely, she was remembering when they were unable to do any single thing when facing Ehito. Everyone made a complicated expression. In the middle of that, it was Hajime who easily answered. “We’ll win.” Suzu objected at that light tone with a slightly sullen expression. “Yeah. Even so, I’ll win the next time.” “How, can you say that-! He can do anything to us just with a word, his magic is powerful without compare. To make matters worse, the apostles, Freed, monsters... and Eri... even Kouki-kun are on the other side... that guy is genuinely a monster, you know?” It appeared Suzu’s heart was almost breaking a little bit. Eri who she wished to be reunited with didn’t listen to her at all. Far from that, she was thrown into confusion easily and unable to do anything. Actually, the monsters that she summoned using the simple gate in the middle of battle were also instantly killed by the apostles. Although it couldn’t be denied that she was still not used to metamorphosis magic, even the age of god magic that she finally obtained with great pain ended up as nothing. Suzu was gritting her teeth from her powerlessness. And then above all, the illusion that Ehito put her into――at that time, Suzu and the others tasted the sensation of being torn into pieces within an instant that felt so real they mistook it for reality. Their hands and legs severed with blood spraying everywhere, and while they tumbled down and fell down, their upper body and lower body separated, their shoulders fell, and last their neck went flying.</s>

Mind reading is important for lying because the basis of lying is that I know you don't know what I know. Therefore, I can lie to you. The second key ingredient for good lying is self-control. It is the ability to control your speech, your facial expression and your body language, so that you can tell a convincing lie. And we found that those young children who have more advanced mind-reading and self-control abilities tell lies earlier and are more sophisticated liars. As it turns out, these two abilities are also essential for all of us to function well in our society. In fact, deficits in mind-reading and self-control abilities such as ADHD and autism. So if you discover your two-year-old is telling his or her first lie, instead of being alarmed, you should celebrate -- because it signals that your child has arrived at a new milestone of typical development. Now, are children poor liars? Do you think you can easily detect their lies? Would you like to give it a try? Yes? OK. So I'm going to show you two videos. In the videos, the children are going to respond to a researcher's question, "Did you peek?" So try to tell me which child is lying and which child is telling the truth. Here's child number one. Are you ready? Adult: Did you peek? Child: No. Kang Lee: And this is child number two. Adult: Did you peek? Child: No. KL: OK, if you think child number one is lying, please raise your hand. And if you think child number two is lying, please raise your hand. OK, so as a matter of fact, child number one is telling the truth, child number two is lying. Looks like many of you are terrible detectors of children's lies. Now, we have played similar kinds of games with many, many adults from all walks of life. And we show them many videos. In half of the videos, the children lied. In the other half of the videos, the children told the truth. And let's find out how these adults performed. Because there are as many liars as truth tellers, if you guess randomly, there's a 50 percent chance you're going to get it right. So if your accuracy is around 50 percent, it means you are a terrible detector of children's lies. So let's start with undergrads and law school students, who typically have limited experience with children. No, they cannot detect children's lies. Their performance is around chance. Now how about social workers and child-protection lawyers, who work with children on a daily basis?</s>

I would like here to point out the reports on the plans of the Israeli government to withdraw from the Gaza Strip. We see that Israel is practicing on the ground a comprehensive campaign of destruction that is in contradiction to its purported intents. Yet, we would like to confirm the readiness of the PNA to extend Palestinian national sovereignty, and to bear full responsibilities on any piece of land from which the Israeli occupation withdraws. We believe that any withdrawal from the Gaza Strip has to be parallel to other withdrawals in the West Bank in a way that maintains the geographic contiguity and the demographic and political unity of the two wings of our homeland. This withdrawal should also be total and comprehensive in the Gaza Strip and be a part of the implementation of the Road Map, so as to realize the withdrawal from all the Palestinian Territory occupied in 1967 and to establish the state of Palestine to the side of Israel. In this regard, I would like to express our appreciation of the position and efforts made by the blessed President, Husni Mubarak, and our other brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt, who did not stop making for one moment, true efforts in support of our people and the revival of the peace process. We have responded positively to all their opinions and efforts. I would like here, as well, to make note of the positions of the Arab counties, especially our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who persevered in their support of our cause and in providing our people with financial support, our people who are living through very difficult times. I would like, as well, to appreciate the positions of the brothers in Tunisia, Jordan, Syria and the other Arab brothers from Yemen and the Sudan in the south to Oman and the Iraq to the east. I would like, also, to take note of the positions of Latin America, Japan, China, the Islamic, African and Nor-Aligned Movement summits. We also appreciate the positions of Europe, Russia and the UN, as well as, the determination of President Bush to establish the State of Palestine, side by side with Israel. Sisters and brothers, Let us move to talk about the other part of the National Working Program which our people and institutions have taken upon themselves to realize since the establishment of the PNA, ten years ago.</s>

This capital was surrounded by strong stone walls from all sides, so you had to pass the gate to leave. In other words, the guards should have seen them. I rushed to the nearest gate and called out to the gate guard on duty. “Mister!” “Oh, Nicole. Not on an adventure today?” “More importantly, have you seen a cart pass here?” “Of course I have, as many as you want. This is a capital after all, and we have a big flow of reconstruction materials too.” His words made me finally notice it too. Even now, there was a longer than usual line of carts at the gate. The city had taken big damage during the Goblin assault, so large amounts of wood and stone were carried in for the reconstruction. Given the situation, one cart passing by would not have stood out. “Then... How about ones that had strange cargo?” I tried changing my question. Even if the carts themselves weren’t uncommon, the kidnappers were carrying Michelle’s parents with them. A cart carrying tied up and wounded people would naturally stand out, so they should have camouflaged it quite a bit. I was asking about that. “Strange cargo, huh... Let’s see, there was one that carried a big pile of straw. I laughed wondering what they were planning to do by carrying all that straw outside.” Straw could be mixed with manure and used as a fertilizer, so it wasn’t such a rare thing for farmers to do. That said, there were no big fields near Raum. This city was surrounded by a forest, so it wasn’t suitable for growing grains. Part of the food was mostly imported. Wheat and rice, in particular, were imported practically in full. As such, preparing straw here was, in a way, unusual. And when you had a large pile of it and carried it outside on top of it, it would stand out no matter what. Still, straw served as a good camouflage and it also allowed air to pass through. Even in large amounts, it didn’t have much weight, and there was no fear of it crushing people under. You could say it was the ideal cargo to hide people inside and pass the gate. “That’s it! Where did that cart head to?” “Hmm? I think they headed towards the southern highway...” “When?” “I suppose about an hour ago.” “Thank you!” This city had gates at east and west. And from there, the highway forked to north and south, allowing one to head to any direction. I was at the eastern gate now, so going straight, I would find myself on the road leading to the Holy Tree Kingdom of Forneus. Forneus was the kingdom where the head temple of the World Tree religion was located, as well as the largest kingdom of the continent. On the way, the road forked north and south, but few people passed on the southern road compared to the one leading to the temple. As such, it would be much simpler to choose that one if you wanted to avoid the human eyes. Thanking the guard, I rushed out of the city. The guard tried to stop me, warning me that it was dangerous to leave the city on my own, but I couldn’t afford to stop now. After advancing a few dozen meters on the highway, I reached the fork that split into north and south. This place was visible from the gate, so that’s how he knew where the cart was headed to.</s>

And even if Garbow was away due to the cooldown, I would still have to fight against four others in that state. There was a good chance that I would be pushed into defeat... And so I chose the third option... To go down the hole that Necoco dug, and escape! I held the Collect Shield over my head like an umbrella as I ran to the hole, and even while being hit, I slid inside. Then I killed Necoco as she finished digging and popped back out of the ground. And that is how I am standing here now. The only enemies left were the old man and Satomi...huh? Satomi was gone!? “I don’t know how you escaped, but this is still the end for you!” Satomi had thrown his arms around me from behind! Since when had he... Ah! ‘It’s because of Auto Battle Mode!’ “Exactly. Right before the effect ended, my body suddenly moved towards the other side of the battlefield. That was proof that there was an enemy remaining in that direction. Because Auto Battle Mode will react to enemies that even the player cannot see...!” Indeed. So he detected my survival immediately and moved around to my back...! As for an attack that he could unleash at this distance...! This combination charge attack with Gochu involved shooting out a fiery aura from his body and burning the enemy with it! And it had this strange effect, where it did more damage if you shouted! But as it only did damage to anything above you, it was difficult to target enemies. However, that wouldn’t be a problem if you were hugging the enemy! ‘That’s a surprisingly sloppy attack, coming from you! And I still have my Collect Sword!’ And so the fiery aura started to get sucked into the blade. “Burning Arrow Storm!” I knew that the old man would try and attack me! As combination charge attacks were generally more powerful that fused charge attacks, the arrows would not break through the fire and reach me! And since I was holding Satomi’s arms so he wouldn’t let go, he would get hit right back with his combination charge attack! Touch an idol’s body and you will get burned! Now the only remaining enemy was the old man...! When Katenrou was finished activating, I had to immediately hold up Collect Shield. The only attacks the old man had left were Sky Tear and I’m Arrow. So it was very possible that he could combine them and come shooting at me as an arrow! He also had Warp Arrow left. So I didn’t know which direction he would come from...! Right now, Burning Arrow Storm was making a lot of noise, but once it settled down, I would listen carefully and find out which side he would come flying from, and activate the shield’s charge attack, Cosmos Guard! If I did, I would lose...!</s>

I was six years old when I first heard stories about the poor. Now I didn't hear those stories from the poor themselves, I heard them from my Sunday school teacher and Jesus, kind of via my Sunday school teacher. I remember learning that people who were poor needed something material -- food, clothing, shelter -- that they didn't have. And I also was taught, coupled with that, that it was my job -- this classroom full of five and six year-old children -- it was our job, apparently, to help. This is what Jesus asked of us. And then he said, "What you do for the least of these, you do for me." Now I was pretty psyched. I was very eager to be useful in the world -- I think we all have that feeling. And also, it was kind of interesting that God needed help. That was news to me, and it felt like it was a very important thing to get to participate in. But I also learned very soon thereafter that Jesus also said, and I'm paraphrasing, the poor would always be with us. This frustrated and confused me; I felt like I had been just given a homework assignment that I had to do, and I was excited to do, but no matter what I would do, I would fail. So I felt confused, a little bit frustrated and angry, like maybe I'd misunderstood something here. And I felt overwhelmed. And for the first time, I began to fear this group of people and to feel negative emotion towards a whole group of people. I imagined in my head, a kind of long line of individuals that were never going away, that would always be with us. They were always going to ask me to help them and give them things, which I was excited to do, but I didn't know how it was going to work. And I didn't know what would happen when I ran out of things to give, especially if the problem was never going away. In the years following, the other stories I heard about the poor growing up were no more positive. For example, I saw pictures and images frequently of sadness and suffering. I heard about things that were going wrong in the lives of the poor. I heard about disease, I heard about war -- they always seemed to be kind of related. And in general, I got this sort of idea that the poor in the world lived lives that were wrought with suffering and sadness, devastation, hopelessness. And after a while, I developed what I think many of us do, is this predictable response, where I started to feel bad every time I heard about them. I started to feel guilty for my own relative wealth, because I wasn't doing more, apparently, to make things better. And I even felt a sense of shame because of that. And so naturally, I started to distance myself. I stopped listening to their stories quite as closely as I had before. And I stopped expecting things to really change. Now I still gave -- on the outside it looked like I was still quite involved. I gave of my time and my money, I gave when solutions were on sale.</s>

Seeing Lyell and Maria trying to set out on a fruitless journey put me in a serious mood too. It wasn’t because I was discovered. It was because I knew that their journey would bear no results, so letting them go would make me feel guilty. That said, If I went and said something like, “Actually, I’m Reid’s reincarnation. Tehe~”... there was no knowing what would become of my life from then on. At the very least, I have sucked on Maria’s breasts, entered the bath with girls and massaged them, and in Finia’s and Cortina’s extreme case, I was kissing them every morning and evening to have much magic power absorbed. “No way I can say it...” “Hm? What’s wrong, Nicole?” Finia always stood behind me. This didn’t change even when Lyell and the rest came here. Because of that, she overheard my anguished mutter. Fortunately, she didn’t hear what I actually said. “Wait for us, Nicole. We’ll bring a new friend with us!” Maria made a fist pump while throwing out her abundant chest. That gesture suited her well, because she looked young despite being close to forty. Still, I couldn’t just let them go. That would be far too pitiful. If I couldn’t think of a reason to prevent their journey, my conscience would receive heavy damage. “Hm, what is it? Are you worried? Don’t worry, mommy is super strong!” “I know that.” That’s not it, Maria. Now then, what kind of excuse should I make up? One that wouldn’t expose me and suitable for my current age... “That’s not it. We finally get to be together, and you are leaving already...” “Ah, right... That would make you feel lonely, huh, Nicole.” Maria knew Teleportation magic, that’s why I could meet her almost every night. However, when it came to a journey, using a spell with slow activation and large consumption would put a big burden on her. It would be close to impossible for them to pop up here every day like they’ve been doing so far. Maxwell would be able to do it effortlessly though. “Yes, so...” “But Reid is an irreplaceable comrade for us.” “I’m very grateful that you say that, but...” “Huh?” “No, I mean, err...” I was desperately racking my brains to get them to give up. My thoughts were going nowhere, though, so I couldn’t think up anything good. No wait... err... “But he would be a child now, right? Then he should have a mother now.” “Ah, true... If we found and brought him back, we’d be separating him from his parents.” “You are so kind, Nicole, thinking of the others’ well-being before yours. As expected of my angel.” Because I was too focused on finding the excuse, I couldn’t notice Lyell creeping at me from behind.

From my abdomen to my heart, from my heart to my limbs and head, from my limbs to each of my fingers, and from my head to my eyes, ears, nose, and other parts of my body related to my five senses, I concentrated the power I had channeled to my body. I lifted my eyes. My whole body was invigorated, my vision was broadened, and my hearing and sense of smell were greatly heightened. “I feel great.” I moved my body in this state to confirm my condition. Compared to when I am not using ≪Circulation≫, my physical capabilities had probably been enhanced by . to times. Now, as for why I was doing this, it was, of course, for training. For the past ten years, I had been developing Outer Skills by fundamentally reviewing the usage of each skill. After all, half-hearted efforts were futile against the God of Calamity. “Well then, let’s start with this state.” While retaining the enhancement by ≪Circulation≫, I assumed a posture. “‘Black blood flows in my body. All is devoured by the black mist. Now, let my blood become an ice storm and devour everything. Outer Skill・ Kurokiribaku’.” A black sphere was conjured in my right hand and flew forward at the same time I waved my right hand. And along with the sound of the explosion, it scattered more black ice and mist than a standard Kurokiribaku. Apparently, thanks to the power of ≪Circulation≫, the activation efficiency of the skill had also improved. Then, next is... “‘From the land of illusion arises the black water of death. That freezes and revolves, and revolves and freezes. The form to serve is the sword. What is severed is reality. Behold, hear, and feel. The moment when the illusion is replaced by reality. Outer Skill ・ Kurokirino... ugh!’.” A black sword was about to be sprung into existence in front of my eyes. However, right before it could materialize and become an actual thing, the ≪Circulation≫ that had been reinforced throughout my body burst out accompanied by acute pain, and the Kurokirinodachi also reverted to its original illusion and dissipated. “Ugh... hah... it’s still tough to get Kurokirinodachi in an enhanced state.” Why did the Outer Skill fail? I knew the reason for that. The Outer Skill was a technique that involved the usage of skills external to the system of skills created by the God of Calamity. Neither the safety and lock that each skill was equipped with in advance were imposed on it. Therefore, its destructive capability was boundless, and as its power escalated, so would the competence demanded of the user. And if the user lacked the ability to activate the skill, the result will be as it was now.</s>

Market conditions were fantastic. I mean, we use TiVo as verb. I TiVo stuff on my piece-of-junk Time Warner DVR all the time. But TiVo's a commercial failure. They've never made money. their stock was at about 30 or 40 dollars and then plummeted, and it's never traded above 10. In fact, I don't think it's even traded above six, except for a couple of little spikes. Because you see, when TiVo launched their product, they told us all what they had. They said, "We have a product that pauses live TV, skips commercials, rewinds live TV and memorizes your viewing habits without you even asking." And the cynical majority said, "We don't believe you. We don't need it. We don't like it. You're scaring us." What if they had said, "If you're the kind of person who likes to have total control over every aspect of your life, boy, do we have a product for you. It pauses live TV, skips commercials, memorizes your viewing habits, etc., etc." People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it, and what you do simply serves as the proof of what you believe. Now let me give you a successful example of the law of diffusion of innovation. In the summer of 1963, 250,000 people showed up on the mall in Washington to hear Dr. King speak. They sent out no invitations, and there was no website to check the date. How do you do that? Well, Dr. King wasn't the only man in America who was a great orator. He wasn't the only man in America who suffered in a pre-civil rights America. In fact, some of his ideas were bad. But he had a gift. He didn't go around telling people what needed to change in America. He went around and told people what he believed. "I believe, I believe, I believe," he told people. And people who believed what he believed took his cause, and they made it their own, and they told people. And some of those people created structures to get the word out to even more people. And lo and behold, 250,000 people showed up on the right day at the right time to hear him speak. How many of them showed up for him? Zero. They showed up for themselves. It's what they believed about America that got them to travel in a bus for eight hours to stand in the sun in Washington in the middle of August. It's what they believed, and it wasn't about black versus white: 25% of the audience was white.</s>

When the surrounding area became a sea of flames, he can’t help but feel his courage shrink. After the admonishing gazes from the other members, Hajime, who already had taken out the Getsurin Rings and Cross Bits reluctantly put them back into the “Treasure Box”. At that time, obviously, they didn’t think that Hajime will repent on what he did. From now on they will become more attentive, because they don’t want to taste the carpet bombing by themselves, especially Shizuku. “.... hm? Raining?” “It’s true. It’s falling drop by drop.” Suddenly, feeling the dampness over his head, Kouki frowned. Suzu agreed while holding her hand over her head.

It’s possible this liquid that was pouring on us was a trap of some sulfuric acid or some other toxic, or is it a sort of demon?......... Whatever. Right now, It seems it’s the latter this time. “Nagumo-kun, the surrounding area.” After carefully watching over the situation of the surrounding area, Shizuku called out with a tense voice to Hajime.

Damn, it’s also the concealing type too, no wonder I couldn’t sense it with the Devil Eye.” “Nagumo!

Even though “Divine Interruption” was a spherical barrier that can form in the ground, it’s impossible to intercept something which was attacking from inside the ground itself.

After that, the two headed to the dining room to have breakfast. When they reached there, Yua and her parents were already there. They seemed to have waited for everyone to gather before starting. For breakfast, there were pancakes, eggs, sausages, and salad. As for drinks, there were fruit juice, coffee, tea, milk and so on.

How about we go shopping today with just us women? 」 To her words, Yua and Lily made a questioning expression, so Kana explained to them. 「It will be hot soon, right? Let’s buy some clothes for that. How about a one piece that will make Seiya-kun melt? 」 Kana grinned while looking at Seiya, who was troubled how to react. And Yua and Lily immediately answered. 「I’ll go...」「I’ll go!」 Answered Yua and Lily with serious expressions.

We're flying through 2,000 lattice of atoms -- oxygen, hydrogen and zinc. You view the bond in the triangle. It's four blue zinc atoms bonding with one white hydrogen atom. You see the electron flow with the streamlines we as artists have generated for the scientists. This is allowing them to find the bonding nodes in any lattice of atoms. We think it makes a beautiful structural art. The sound that you're hearing are the actual emission spectrums of these atoms. We've mapped them into the audio domain, so they're singing to you. Oxygen, hydrogen and zinc have their own signature. We're going to actually move even further down as we go from this lattice of atoms to one single hydrogen atom. We're working with our physicist colleagues that have given us the mathematical calculations of the n-dimensional Schrödinger equation in time. What you're seeing here right now is a superposition of an electron in the lower three orbitals of a hydrogen atom. You're actually hearing and seeing the electron flow with the lines. The white dots are the probability wave that will show you where the electron is in any given point of time and space in this particular three-orbital configuration. In a minute we're going to move to a two-orbital configuration, and you're going to notice a pulsing. And you're going to hear an undulation between the sound. This is actually a light emitter. As the sound starts to pulse and contract, our physicists can tell when a photon is going to be emitted. They're starting to find new mathematical structures in these calculations. And they're understanding more about quantum mathematics. We're going to move even further down, and go to one single electron spin. This will be the final project that I show you. Our colleagues in the Center for Quantum Computation and Spintronics are actually measuring with their lasers decoherence in a single electron spin. We've taken this information and we've made a mathematical model out of it. You're actually seeing and hearing quantum information flow.

So three of those penguins -- Peter, Pamela and Percy -- wore satellite tags, and the researchers crossed their fingers and hoped that by the time they got back home, the oil would be cleaned up from their islands. And luckily, the day they arrived, it was. So it had been a huge gamble, but it had paid off. And so they know now that they can use this strategy in future oil spills. So in wildlife rescue as in life, we learn from each previous experience, and we learn from both our successes and our failures. And the main thing learned during the Apollo Sea rescue in '94 was that most of those penguins had died due to the unwitting use of poorly ventilated transport boxes and trucks, because they just had not been prepared to deal with so many oiled penguins at once. So in these six years between these two oil spills, they've built thousands of these well-ventilated boxes. And as a result, during the Treasure rescue, just 160 penguins died during the transport process, as opposed to 5,000. So this alone was a huge victory. Something else learned during the Apollo rescue was how to train the penguins to take fish freely from their hands, using these training boxes. And we used this technique again during the Treasure rescue. But an interesting thing was noted during the training process. The first penguins to make that transition to free feeding were the ones that had a metal band on their wing from the Apollo Sea spill six years earlier. So penguins learn from previous experience, too. So all of those penguins had to have the oil meticulously cleaned from their bodies. It would take two people at least an hour just to clean one penguin. When you clean a penguin, you first have to spray it with a degreaser. And this brings me to my favorite story from the Treasure rescue. About a year prior to this oil spill, a 17-year-old student had invented a degreaser. And they'd been using it at SANCCOB with great success, so they began using it during the Treasure rescue. But partway through, they ran out. So in a panic, Estelle from SANCCOB called the student and said, "Please, you have to make more!" So he raced to the lab and made enough to clean the rest of the birds.</s>

Her petite figure fit perfectly between Hajime’s arms. Yue couldn’t stand the feeling of Shia’s weapon upon her back. Hajime revealed a wry smile after guessing the reason why Yue switched seats while Yue wore a bitter expression. Shia, confused about what had just happened, clung to Hajime’s waist with a happy expression. Hajime acted as though nothing had happened and just drove along. But it’s not like he had no reaction at all. He’d be lying if he didn’t. Without noticing the conflict in Hajime and Yue’s mind, Shia asked Hajime a question over his shoulder. “Uummu, even though travelling faster is better, what kind of vehicle is this? Moreover, Hajime-san and Yue-san are both magic-users, right? Even though magic shouldn’t be able to be used here...” (Shia) While saying so, Hajime increased his magic power output and accelerated the bike. The vehicle moved smoothly, and over Hajime’s shoulder, Shia’s thrilled scream could be heard. The ground and cliff face seemed to blur as they accelerated. At the bottom of the canyon, Shia clung tightly onto Hajime while closing her eyes due to the wind. After getting accustomed to the speed, Shia gradually became more and more excited. When Hajime suddenly curved around a boulder, Shia squealed excitedly. On the way, Hajime started to explain why they could use magic, how the bike operated, and how Hajime’s left arm and bike were similar to an artifact. Shia opened her eyes wide in astonishment. “Eh?? Then both of you are able to directly manipulate magic and also capable of using unique magic...” (Shia) For a while, Shia’s mind was blank from surprise. Suddenly, she buried her face into Hajime’s shoulder, starting to sob. “... What is it now? You went from being an annoying rabbit to a depressed bunny, and now you’re a sobbing mess... You’re truly a failure rabbit.” (Hajime) “What do you mean? I’m not a failure! ... It’s just that, when I think I’m not alone anymore, it somehow makes me happy...” (Shia) It seemed that because her ability was similar to the demonic beast’s, she always thought she was the only one in this world with this ability. Her family raised her for years and called her a family member. Although protecting her ultimately brought danger upon them, causing them to flee Faea Belgaen for her sake, they still loved her. Despite their love... no, because of their unique love for her, she felt isolated and alone; she was different from everyone else.</s>

Because if you have those young minds, they cause everyone in the room to think younger. Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is when he or she grows up, is how to remain an artist." We all saw the world more clearly when we saw it for the first time, before a lifetime of habits got in the way. Our challenge is to get back there, to feel that frustration, to see those little details, to look broader, look closer, and to think younger so we can stay beginners. It's not easy. It requires us pushing back against one of the most basic ways we make sense of the world. But if we do, we could do some pretty amazing things. For me, hopefully, that's better product design. For you, that could mean something else, something powerful. Our challenge is to wake up each day and say, "How can I experience the world better?" And if we do, maybe, just maybe, we can get rid of these dumb little stickers. Thank you very much.</s>

I’m an adventurer. I left my village at the age of and registered with the adventurer’s guild in Harula towards the east of the village. At that time, my sister Collie and her best friend Tess came together with me. Somehow, they were worried about leaving me alone. I told them not to treat me like a child, but they completely ignored me. Sure, when I first started out, I was tricked and ended up losing all my money, but at that time there wasn’t any lasting damage, so it wasn’t a big deal. ......Well, it was also true that I wasn’t good at talking, or good with negotiating, and that Collie had saved me multiple times when it came to those situations. However, there were also many times when arguments would arise because of her. And during those times, Tess wasn’t all that helpful either.......I knew I should’ve gone at it alone, I thought of these numerous times. During my two years as an adventurer, I took on many jobs and traveled to the eastern capital city several times. I also met Beck during those times and we ended up forming a party together. Beck was two years older than me and was already a C-rank adventurer when I first met him. At that time when we first met, I was still just an E-rank so I wasn’t really a great match for him, but strangely enough we somehow managed to click and we ended up forming a party. And now he was one of my closest friends. And so I continued working hard, and just recently I was promoted to D rank. The D rank me was different from before. I was no longer someone who would be a burden to Beck. I had gone back to the village once in commemoration of the rank-up. I wanted to report the news to my father and mother, and to show them how much I’ve grown. I invited Beck to come with me, but he said he would stay and wait for me back in town, since he didn’t want to intrude upon my visit back home. I was a bit disappointed but it couldn’t be helped. During the past two years, Tess also became my lover. So my return back home was also to officially announce this. But when I came back, the village was in a terrible state. There was a disease spreading around. And many people seemed to have died from it. Furthermore, my mother had also fallen ill. She had been bedridden for days. My older brother who was planning to take over as the head of the household was also sick, and my father was in a very exhausted state. Due to the situation being like that, it wasn’t the place to introduce Tess. Rather, Tess has also been contracted by the illness and this is no longer the time for that. The medicine in the village was out of stock, so to begin with, it was impossible to buy anymore. I only had a few recovery potions on hand, but I couldn’t afford not to use them. I gave Tess one to drink, and I gave what I had left to my mother and older brother. But it wasn’t very effective.</s>

Not all of them have happy endings. So how did I get started cartooning? I doodled a lot as a kid, and if you spend enough time doodling, sooner or later, something happens: all your career options run out. So you have to make a living cartooning. Actually, I fell in love with the ocean when I was a little boy, when I was about eight or nine. And I was particularly fascinated with sharks. This is some of my early work. Eventually, my mom took the red crayon away, so it was [unclear]. But I'd like to relay to you a childhood experience of mine that really made me see the ocean differently, and it's become the foundation of my work because, I feel like, if in a day, I can see the ocean differently, then I can evoke that same kind of change in others, especially kids. Before that day, this is how I saw the ocean. It's just a big blue surface. And this is how we've seen the ocean since the beginning of time. It's a mystery. There's been a lot of folklore developed around the ocean, mostly negative. And that prompted people to make maps like this, with all kinds of wonderful detail on the land, but when you get to the waters edge, the ocean looks like one giant puddle of blue paint. And this is the way I saw the ocean at school -- as if to say, "All geography and science lessons This part's not going to be on the test." But that day I flew low over the islands -- it was a family trip to the Caribbean, and I flew in a small plane low over the islands. This is what I saw. I saw hills and valleys. I saw forests and meadows. I saw grottoes and secret gardens and places I'd love to hide as a kid, if I could only breathe underwater. And best of all, I saw the animals. I saw a manta ray that looked as big as the plane I was flying in. And I flew over a lagoon with a shark in it, and that was the day that my comic strip about a shark was born. So from that day on, I was an ordinary kid walking around on dry land, but my head was down there, underwater. Up until that day, these were the animals that were most common in my life. These were the ones I'd like to draw -- all variations of four legs and fur. But when you got to the ocean, my imagination was no competition for nature. Every time I'd come up with a crazy cartoon character on the drawing board, I'd find a critter in the ocean that was even crazier. And the differences in scale between this tiny sea dragon and this enormous humpback whale Whenever I talk to kids, I always like to tell them, the biggest animal that ever lived is still alive. It's not a dinosaur; it's a whale, animals as big as office buildings still swimming around out there in our ocean. Speaking of dinosaurs, sharks are basically the same fish they were 300 million years ago. So if you ever fantasize about going back in time and seeing what a dinosaur looked like, that's what a dinosaur looks like.</s>

She didn’t even twitch at Hajime’s tsun-remark. Even if she received the shock, she immediately revived and repeated her strong and positive approach. “... ... Like I said, how did you know that mate-... ... no, it’s nothing. I understand, so quickly hand over the meat.” “Fufu, do you want to eat it? Th-Then, a~n” While blushing, Shia presented the well-done skewered meat in front of Hajime’s mouth. He seemed to really want to eat it. That’s why Hajime took a peek at Yue. Yue readily stood by his side with skewered meat at hand. Probably, she would follow after Shia’s “A~n”. While feeling the adventurers’ gazes, Hajime let out a sigh then opened his mouth toward Shia. Shia’s expression was dyed in happiness. “A~n.” Hajime bit then chewed the presented meat in silence. Shia’s expression was in pure bliss while she looked at Hajime. Then, this time another skewered meat was presented from his other side. He once again took a bite. Silently chewed it. Again, he took a bite when Shia from his other side, “A~n”. He bit again when Yue said “A~n”. Their subjectivity aside, the voices of the men’s hearts who had objectively seen this spectacle were splendidly unified. In their minds, “We beseech you, please just explode already!!”. They could only use formal words in their minds because they were clearly shown that they couldn’t do anything in face of Hajime’s power . Two days had passed since then. The distance was only one more day of travel, finally someone appeared to inelegantly obstruct their travel and to assault them. Shia was the first to notice it. Her rabbit ears, piko piko, moved while pointing toward the forest beside the highway, her unconcerned expression suddenly tightened and she warned the others. “Incoming enemies! They number more than ! They’ll come from the forest!” When they heard her warning, the tension between the adventurers immediately increased. The highway that they were currently advanced on was not known for the danger from the adjacent forest. After all, it was the only route to the one Neutral Commercial City in the continent. The highway was safe, was what was guaranteed. That’s why, although there were stories of encountering demonic beasts, they were only , at most. Even if there were a lot of them, was the limit. “****, more than 00 you say? Recently, I haven’t heard stories of assault. are they saving up their power for this time’s sake? Damn, even though I had investigated about accidents along the highway!” The leader of the escorts, Galitima, was cursing with a bitter expression. The escorts of the merchant company numbered 15. If Yue and Shia were included, they became 17 people. Considering the number of people, it’d be difficult to flawlessly defend the merchant company. It was simply because they were overwhelmed in number.</s>

The second time, maybe you know enough to do it right. So if you want to get it right, be ready to start over at least once [JB]. Well (I told myself) the changes to fetchpop had been my first try. So I switched. After I sent my first set of popclient patches to Carl Harris on 25 June 1996, I found out that he had basically lost interest in popclient some time before. The code was a bit dusty, with minor bugs hanging out. I had many changes to make, and we quickly agreed that the logical thing for me to do was take over the program. Without my actually noticing, the project had escalated. No longer was I just contemplating minor patches to an existing POP client. I took on maintaining an entire one, and there were ideas bubbling in my head that I knew would probably lead to major changes. In a software culture that encourages code-sharing, this is a natural way for a project to evolve. I was acting out this principle: 4. If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you. But Carl Harris's attitude was even more important. He understood that 5. When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor. Without ever having to discuss it, Carl and I knew we had a common goal of having the best solution out there. The only question for either of us was whether I could establish that I was a safe pair of hands. Once I did that, he acted with grace and dispatch. I hope I will do as well when it comes my turn. The Importance of Having Users And so I inherited popclient. Just as importantly, I inherited popclient's user base. Users are wonderful things to have, and not just because they demonstrate that you're serving a need, that you've done something right. Properly cultivated, they can become co-developers. Another strength of the Unix tradition, one that Linux pushes to a happy extreme, is that a lot of users are hackers too. Because source code is available, they can be effective hackers. This can be tremendously useful for shortening debugging time.</s>

There's only about 40 of them. You'll be okay. We'll find them." So off we went on this journey. When we arrived there, after a month of traveling across the ice, and we'd got to them, but then I was not allowed to photograph them. They said, "You cannot photograph us. You have to wait. You have to wait until you get to know us. You have to wait until you understand us. You have to wait until you see how we interact with one another." And only then, it was many, many weeks later, I saw a respect. They had zero judgment. They observed one another, from the youth, from the middle aged to the old. They need each other. The children need to chew the meat all day because the adults don't have any teeth, but at the same time, the children take the old aged people out to the toilet because they're infirm, so there's this fantastic community of respect. And they adore and admire one another, and they truly taught me what beauty was. Now I'm going to ask for a little bit of audience interaction. This is extremely important for the end of my talk. If you could look at somebody left to the right of you, and I want you to observe them, and I want you to give them a compliment. This is very important.

And it's totally overkill. And your eye doesn't know which level to read. And you become trapped into this kind of representation. So I decided to make these very simple renderings, that at first they are taken as a line drawing -- you know, something that's very -- and then I did it with wire. The idea was to -- because everybody overlooks white -- like pencil drawings, you know? And they would look at it -- "Ah, it's a pencil drawing." Then you have this double take and see that it's actually something that existed in time. It had a physicality, and you start going deeper and deeper into sort of narrative that goes this way, towards the image. So this is "Monkey with Leica." "Relaxation." "Fiat Lux." And the same way the history of representation evolved from line drawings to shaded drawings. And I wanted to deal with other subjects. I started taking that into the realm of landscape, which is something that's almost a picture of nothing. I made these pictures called "Pictures of Thread," and I named them after the amount of yards that I used to represent each picture. These always end up being a photograph at the end, or more like an etching in this case. So this is a lighthouse. This is "6,500 Yards," after Corot. "9,000 Yards," after Gerhard Richter. And I don't know how many yards, after John Constable. Departing from the lines, I decided to tackle the idea of points, like which is more similar to the type of representation that we find in photographs themselves. I had met a group of children in the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts, and I did work and play with them. I got some photographs from them. Upon my arrival in New York, I decided -- they were children of sugar plantation workers. And by manipulating sugar over a black paper, I made portraits of them. These are -- -- Thank you. This is "Valentina, the Fastest." It was just the name of the child, with the little thing you get to know of somebody that you meet very briefly. "Valicia." "Jacynthe." But another layer of representation was still introduced. Because I was doing this while I was making these pictures, I realized that I could add still another thing I was trying to make a subject -- something that would interfere with the themes, so chocolate is very good, because it has -- it brings to mind ideas that go from scatology to romance. And so I decided to make these pictures, and they were very large, so you had to walk away from it to be able to see them. So they're called "Pictures of Chocolate." Freud probably could explain chocolate better than I. He was the first subject. And Jackson Pollock also. Pictures of crowds are particularly interesting, because, you know, you go to that -- you try to figure out the threshold with something you can define very easily, like a face, goes into becoming just a texture.</s>

Well the root of this problem, in my view, is the idea of disposability itself. You see, if you understand the link between what we're doing to poison and pollute the planet and what we're doing to poor people, you arrive at a very troubling, but also very helpful, insight: In order to trash the planet, you have to trash people. But if you create a world where you don't trash people, you can't trash the planet. So now we are at a moment where the coming together of social justice as an idea and ecology as an idea, we finally can now see that they are really, at the end of the day, one idea. And it's the idea that we don't have disposable anything. We don't have disposable resources. We don't have disposable species. And we don't have disposable people either. We don't have a throwaway planet, and we don't have throwaway children -- it's all precious. And as we all begin to come back to that basic understanding, new opportunities for action begin to emerge. Biomimicry, which is something that is an emerging science, winds up being a very important social justice idea. People who are just learning about this stuff, biomimicry means respecting the wisdom of all species. Democracy, by the way, means respecting the wisdom of all people -- and we'll get to that. But biomimicry means respecting the wisdom of all species. It turns out we're a pretty clever species. This big cortex, or whatever, we're pretty proud of ourselves. But if we want to make something hard, we come up, "I know, I'm going to make a hard substance. I know, I'm going to get vacuums and furnaces and drag stuff out of the ground and get things hot and poison and pollute, but I got this hard thing. I'm so clever," and you look behind you, and there's destruction all around you. But guess what? You're so clever, but you're not as clever as a clam. A clamshell's hard. There's no vacuums. There's no big furnaces. There's no poison. There's no pollution. It turns out that our other species has figured out a long time ago how to create many of the things that we need using biological processes that nature knows how to use well. Well that insight of biomimicry, of our scientists finally realizing that we have as much to learn from other species. I don't mean taking a mouse and sticking it with stuff. I don't mean looking at it from that way -- abusing the little species. I mean actually respecting them, respecting what they've achieved. That's called biomimicry, and that opens the door to zero waste production, zero pollution production -- that we could actually enjoy a high quality of life, a high standard of living without trashing the planet.</s>

Together with Lyco. And as usual, we had a good chat over meals. Eh, study? Ah, I just finished teaching them a while ago. The lesson was simple calculations. As long as they could do addition and subtraction, they should’ve covered the basics. “Today’s food is delicious too!” “Lyco, please restrain yourself a little more... Haa.” By the way, today’s meal was grilled rice balls. Personally, this was my favorite. Be it freshly made or cooled, it still tasted delicious. Other than that was a vegetable soup I made from soup broth using horned rabbit bones. It was also pretty good. Hmm. “If she doesn’t eat well, she won’t grow up, you know?” “Yeah! Isn’t that right, Triela?” “You guys... Haa.” Well, I’d been eating a lot, but I was this short. ...Eh? My current height? ...Maybe around cm. I could see my height using [Analysis] skill. Eh? I told you that I was cm a little over a year ago? Shut up, it was my wishful thinking! Leave me alone! ...Actually, I had grown by around cm since that accident. But then, 38cm should have been the average height of a ten years old girl in modern Japan, and I was also considered the tallest one in the orphanage... But maybe that could also mean that the kids in the orphanage lacked nutrition? “By the way, what happened after you guys went home that day?” “Ohh, that. It’s awesome. The three fools made a fuss when they saw the weapon. Then they were overjoyed after seeing the meat and became noisy. The people at the inn were very angry at them.” “After that, they found out that Triela and the others had eaten earlier, so they became even noisier. Even I wouldn’t get angry over such a trivial matter!” “Lyco, I already apologized to you, right? You’re persistent.” “I’m not angry, though.” Lyco was an understanding child, so she wouldn’t fret over this kind of thing. I’m sure they were just bantering... right? Don’t fight, okay? “And then, Ryuu showed us how idiotic he was by swinging his spear in the room. He almost hit Arle, so all of the girls beat the s̲h̲i̲t̲ out of him.” “It’s better if he died.” “Ren, killing him will be a bit too extreme, won’t it...

Since we have enough money, we decided to make sure everyone is used to the spear.” “But after getting used to it to some extent, we plan to continue collecting herbs. It’s not like we can always catch a lot of rabbits after all. I mean, we could only catch four rabbits even after hunting until evening on the first day.

And they are showing the signs of this. I'm sorry to have a sad slide like this, but not everything is all that happy, especially in my work. They are loaded with toxic chemicals in their body, hundreds of compounds, all kinds of compounds -- it's staggering. And they're dying off rather regularly, tens of thousands around the world. It's predicted they may go extinct -- about a third of them -- within about 30 years. So my project is along the Northwest Atlantic. It's called Seals as Sentinels. We're tracking pollution at the top of the food web, in marine mammals and fish. It's a region-wide, eco-toxicological investigation. We're looking at a lot of compounds, but recently been quite interested in the flame retardants, the brominated flame retardants that are in many, many things that we use in our everyday life, from the cushions in the chairs we're all sitting on to the plastic casings of our computers, our television sets and so on. So we are tracking how do these things get from the products into the ocean, which is the final sink for them. And there's quite a complicated pathway for that because, as these products age, they get concentrated in dust, and then they also get thrown out, so they go to the landfills. They wind up in waste water treatment plants. As you all know, we throw out billions of computers and TVs every year. And those go to e-waste dumps. And all that gets into surface waters, eventually reaching the ocean, the final sink. So, in our study, we did find quite high levels, as we expected, of these flame retardants in the harbor seals' bodies. And we reported this. It led to a ban of this neuro-toxic flame retardant called Deca in Maine, where I am based, and also then a phase-out, U.S.-wide, at the end of last year. But we said, well, on the bright side, our harbor seals at least will not be bursting into flame anytime soon. So then I got really curious, myself, as a toxicologist, and I donated some blood to my lab and said, "Okay, let's do it." Well, we detected 113 different compounds in my blood. And I must say, if any of you would have this done, you'd probably find a similar profile, or cocktail, as they call it.</s>

Now, this perfect storm that we are facing is the result of our rising population, rising towards 10 billion people, land that is turning to desert, and, of course, climate change. Now there's no question about it at all: we will only solve the problem of replacing fossil fuels with technology. But fossil fuels, carbon -- coal and gas -- are by no means the only thing that is causing climate change. Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert, and this happens only when we create too much bare ground. There's no other cause. And I intend to focus on most of the world's land that is turning to desert. But I have for you a very simple message that offers more hope than you can imagine. We have environments where humidity is guaranteed throughout the year. On those, it is almost impossible to create vast areas of bare ground. No matter what you do, nature covers it up so quickly. And we have environments where we have months of humidity followed by months of dryness, and that is where desertification is occurring. Fortunately, with space technology now, we can look at it from space, and when we do, you can see the proportions fairly well. Generally, what you see in green is not desertifying, and what you see in brown is, and these are by far the greatest areas of the Earth. About two thirds, I would guess, of the world is desertifying. I took this picture in the Tihamah Desert while 25 millimeters -- that's an inch of rain -- was falling. Think of it in terms of drums of water, each containing 200 liters. Over 1,000 drums of water fell on every hectare of that land that day. The next day, the land looked like this. Where had that water gone? Some of it ran off as flooding, but most of the water that soaked into the soil simply evaporated out again, exactly as it does in your garden if you leave the soil uncovered. Now, because the fate of water and carbon are tied to soil organic matter, when we damage soils, you give off carbon. Carbon goes back to the atmosphere. Now you're told over and over, repeatedly, that desertification is only occurring in arid and semi-arid areas of the world, and that tall grasslands like this one in high rainfall are of no consequence. But if you do not look at grasslands but look down into them, you find that most of the soil in that grassland that you've just seen is bare and covered with a crust of algae, leading to increased runoff and evaporation. That is the cancer of desertification that we do not recognize till its terminal form.</s>

So what are the five miracles needed for autonomous vehicles? One, you need to know where you are and exactly what time it is. This was solved neatly by the GPS system, Global Positioning System, that the U.S. Government put in place. You need to know where all the roads are, what the rules are, and where you're going. The various needs of personal navigation systems, in-car navigation systems, and web-based maps address this. You must have near-continuous communication with high-performance computing networks and with others nearby to understand their intent. The wireless technologies developed for mobile devices, with some minor modifications, are completely suitable to solve this. You'll probably want some restricted roadways to get started that both society and its lawyers agree are safe to use for this. This will start with the HOV lanes and move from there. But finally, you need to recognize people, signs and objects. Machine vision, special sensors, and high-performance computing can do a lot of this, but it turns out a lot is not good enough when your family is on board. Occasionally, humans will need to do sense-making. For this, you might actually have to wake up your passenger and ask them what the hell that big lump is in the middle of the road. Not so bad, and it will give us a sense of purpose Besides, once the first drivers explain to their confused car that the giant chicken at the fork in the road is actually a restaurant, and it's okay to keep driving, every other car on the surface of the Earth will know that from that point on. Five miracles, mostly delivered, and now you just need a clear vision of a better world filled with autonomous vehicles with seductively beautiful and new functional designs plus a lot of money and hard work to bring it home. The beginning is now only a handful of years away, and I predict that autonomous vehicles will permanently change our world over the next several decades. In conclusion, I've come to believe that the ingredients for the next Pantheons are all around us, just waiting for visionary people with the broad knowledge, multidisciplinary skills, and intense passion to harness them to make their dreams a reality. But these people don't spontaneously pop into existence. They need to be nurtured and encouraged from when they're little kids. We need to love them and help them discover their passions.</s>

Let’s peel our eyes wide.」 Rafinha and Leone both braced themselves. As the Highland’s flying ship approached, then came to a halt in midair, the Carriers that had been suspended went to dock there one after another, carrying supplies from the Midland. Of course, the Carrier that Inglis and her associates were on wasn’t an exception. 「I’ll do a checkup on the cargo. You guys can wait inside.」 A man who looked like a Highlander official approached Inglis’ group and instructed them to do so. On either side of the man were lifeless, full-body armored humanoid figures. Could they be the escorts? More Highlanders came out onto the deck, and they all had escorts with them. 「Now, go along.」 Faris tried to lead everyone down into the cabin. 「Mister Faris. Those armored soldiers, were they formerly——?」 As they descended the stairs, Inglis asked in a whisper. 「You got it right. They were former Midlanders. They were kidnapped, sold, and bought as slaves to be used as pawns. There aren’t many Highlanders who would stand on the front lines, you know.」「......So it’s the same kind as the one Mr. Rahal brought.」「It’s a cruel story——the Highlanders will force Midlanders to do things they themselves don’t want to do.」 Rafinha and Leone knitted their brows. Indeed, it wasn’t the most agreeable. goods that can’t be demanded to the King so willy-nilly. In other words, slaves and all that jazz. Our firm used to dwell in that kind of business too, during the previous president’s reign. That’s why the previous president and Mr. Rahal could become Highlanders through great achievements. We no longer do such a thing under my leadership, though.」 Faris spoke with a shrug and seemed to have gotten overexcited as he took a wrong turn. The moment he turned around the corner, he hit something metallic. It was a stocky, humanoid mass of black iron——a Golem made by the Highland. 「......! Uh-oh——!」 Perhaps it regarded Faris who hit it as an intruder; its large fist was swung at him. The fist drew near the hollering Faris——but it suddenly halted in its track. The fist was completely motionless in the face of Inglis’ pearly-white hand. 「Please step away, Mister Faris.」 Seeing how Faris had stepped away, Inglis also released the Black Iron Golem from her grasp—— But the golem continued to chase Faris and attacked. So it wouldn’t stop once it started attacking? 「It could pose a problem if we destroy it without permission. Can you please get the permission?」「Understood, give me a minute!」「You okay, Glis!?」「Yeah. It’s quite a good distraction, you know? It’s good to move your body around when you’re feeling shaggy.」 Replied Inglis as she parried the golem’s attacks. Once Faris received permission from a Highlander, he called—— 「Well then——!」 DAANNNN!!!</s>

The white slimes continued to burn and perish without a means to be free, but still the flames spread and thoroughly burned everything down. The tsunami of scarlet, which contained the murderous intent of Hajime, burned the trees, melted the ground, swallowed the sea of trees and even scorched the air. The scorching red finally showed its visage when the slimes on the barrier and created a gap to look outside. At the next moment, someone who noticed it “Ah” raised a voice, outside the barrier had been transformed into a sea of flames. Before long the white slimes naturally flickered and turned into ash. Before long, the white slimes completely disappeared from the surroundings. While observing the situation outside, the remaining tar was collected as only the fuel was blazing here and there. Hajime muttered... “Nn~, apparently, it seems everything was roughly burnt out.” “...Geez, is it safe to take down the barrier?” Yue takes a confirmation from Hajime’s words. “No, keep maintaining it a little more. There is a chance that some are still lurking underground.” When Hajime said that, the divine stone on the ring shined bright. Just now, innumerable black objects fell from the ceiling at a fixed speed. The spider-type golem descended with its thread from the ceiling. The surprised Shizuku instinctively let out an adorable scream towards the shocking scene of numerous little spiders falling from the sky. However, everyone agreed to magnificently ignore it. They didn’t see Shizuku cheeks blush from her scream. Although, some of their mouths were grinning broadly. The spider golems landed, spread to the surroundings and simultaneously began drilling up to the giant tree like they did on the ceiling. Hajime began to concentrate while closing his eyes and said something to everyone. “It’ll take awhile to drill and reach the target of the giant tree. I don’t know how many of the white slimes there are, it would be fine if there was no trouble, but you all should prepare an attack measure in this spare time to avoid a timely defeat. In the meantime, though it may be difficult please keep maintaining the barrier, Yue.” While still concentrating on moving the spider-type golems, Yue willingly consented to Hajime’s direction. The other members understood that the crisis was temporarily avoided and they slumped their shoulders. Still, after being removed by Kaori, the ladies who were dirtied by the cloudy liquid all have clean appearances. Although the fate of Ryuutaro’s memory hadn’t changed. Hajime was drilling the ground rapidly, but it takes a little while to plan for counter-measures so the distance to the giant tree wasn’t obstructed. So,</s>

And if you're in this room today, most of us grew up in a world where we have basic civil rights, and amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don't have them. But all that aside, we still have a problem, and it's a real problem. And the problem is this: Women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. The numbers tell the story quite clearly. 190 heads of state -- nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, 13 percent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top, C-level jobs, board seats -- tops out at 15, 16 percent. The numbers have not moved since 2002 and are going in the wrong direction. And even in the non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent. We also have another problem, which is that women face harder choices between professional success and personal fulfillment. A recent study in the U.S. showed that, of married senior managers, two-thirds of the married men had children and only one-third of the married women had children. A couple of years ago, I was in New York, and I was pitching a deal, and I was in one of those fancy New York private equity offices And I'm in the meeting -- it's about a three-hour meeting -- and two hours in, there needs to be that bio break, and everyone stands up, and the partner running the meeting starts looking really embarrassed. And I realized he doesn't know where the women's room is in his office. So I start looking around for moving boxes, figuring they just moved in, but I don't see any. And so I said, "Did you just move into this office?" And he said, "No, we've been here about a year." And I said, "Are you telling me that I am the only woman to have pitched a deal in this office in a year?" And he looked at me, and he said, "Yeah. Or maybe you're the only one who had to go to the bathroom." So the question is, how are we going to fix this? How do we change these numbers at the top? How do we make this different? I want to start out by saying, I talk about this -- about keeping women in the workforce -- because I really think that's the answer. In the high-income part of our workforce, in the people who end up at the top -- Fortune 500 CEO jobs, or the equivalent in other industries -- the problem, I am convinced, is that women are dropping out.</s>

It was merely a wish for returning home. A wish of not wanting to let their friend died. In order to grant just that much wish, they had to fight with everything they had leaving nothing to spare, finally they were convinced of that and they mustered their courage. For the front line group, this support that they received came from a group who even though their heart was once smoke stained but they were still a group of cheat holder from another world. As expected, even though the enemy was the apostles but with their specs lowered, taking on the classmate group who had been strengthened put them at disadvantage. Seeing the apostles being exterminated one after another, the allied force soldiers at the area raised their acclamation. But, at that time, one of the apostles that broke through the front line rapidly approached one of the girl student. “Hih!?” The female student reflexively screamed. But, at the next moment, the fear of death changed into shock. The head of the apostle flew up with a plop, the body that lost its strength slid in vain beside the girl student. Furthermore the apostles who were trying to surround the front line group had their necks reaped up in turn from the outside and their lives expired instantly. Regardless when they moved their gaze over there, other than the corpses of the headless apostles, there was nothing and no one there. One of the apostles turned her gaze around at the surrounding with a grim gaze toward this obviously strange situation. “Kuh, just where in the world the attack came fro-” “Right in front of you here! ********!” The apostle was startled that her murmur was replied right from the front and her gaze returned forward. In her eyes, the shadow of a kodachi being sucked toward her neck was reflected. And then that became the last view of that apostle. Cutting down the apostles who had the figure of a human female was a really great burden mentally. What became salvation was that all the apostles had the same appearances, their cold figure where no emotion could be felt made anyone that saw them felt that they were like a puppet. Coupled with the miserableness of having a shadow so thin that made even the worst enemy to show expression of “Eh? He is actually there!?”, the young man with the vocation of ‘Assassin’――Endo Kousuke was earning kill point that was the highest among his classmates while half giving in to despair. “As expected from you, Kousuke-! I don’t know where you are though!” “Aawesome, Kousuke! Though I don’t know where you are!” “Endo-kun do your beeest! Though I cannot see your figure doing your best!” “Eh, ah, I see, Endo-kun is also fighting! Thanks for helping ‘kay!” With a drop, something shining fell from Kousuke’s eyes.

I was somebody when I came. I'll be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful, and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here. I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go." And they said, "Yeah!" You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you. I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley face. He said, "Ms. Pierson, is this an F?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face?" I said, "Because you're on a roll. You got two right. You didn't miss them all." I said, "And when we review this, won't you do better?" He said, "Yes, ma'am, I can do better." You see, "-18" sucks all the life out of you. "+2" said, "I ain't all bad." For years, I watched my mother take the time at recess to review, go on home visits in the afternoon, buy combs and brushes and peanut butter and crackers to put in her desk drawer for kids that needed to eat, and a washcloth and some soap for the kids who didn't smell so good. See, it's hard to teach kids who stink. And kids can be cruel. And so she kept those things in her desk, and years later, after she retired, I watched some of those same kids come through and say to her, "You know, Ms. Walker, you made a difference in my life. You made it work for me. You made me feel like I was somebody, when I knew, at the bottom, I wasn't. And I want you to just see what I've become." And when my mama died two years ago at 92, there were so many former students at her funeral, it brought tears to my eyes, not because she was gone, but because she left a legacy of relationships that could never disappear. Can we stand to have more relationships? Absolutely. Will you like all your children? Of course not. And you know your toughest kids are never absent. Never. You won't like them all, and the tough ones show up for a reason. It's the connection. It's the relationships. So teachers become great actors and great actresses, and we come to work when we don't feel like it, and we're listening to policy that doesn't make sense, and we teach anyway.</s>

At least it had improved a lot since Alicia’s first visit to this village. At that time, the air was much dirtier, and everyone’s eyes were dead. “I’m Duke Seeker, first prince of the Duelkis Kingdom.” He looked straight at Nate. Nate’s face tightened a little at the presence of a foreign man. He must be thinking that another troublesome person has arrived. And when he heard that he’s the first prince, he backed away from the stone. “Where’s all that swagger you had earlier?” Rebecca whispered in Nate’s ear. She didn’t seem intimidated by the prince, probably because she was used to dealing with nobles like Alicia. Besides, Duke didn’t come here to wield his power in the first place. “Shut up.” Nate clicked his tongue while Duke watched the situation silently without saying a word.

I created chairs and desks according to the number of people using earth magic. Next, I made a teaching table and a stand for the blackboard. I unpacked and assembled the blackboard, put the mini blackboard, chalk, and rag on each desk. With this, everything was done. All we had to do was to wait for Maricle and the three fools to come. I wouldn’t forgive them for being late on the first day, okay? It’s not the time to start the lesson yet though. But then, they didn’t really know what time it was now, right? Hmm. “Triela, I’ll give you this, so please make sure you won’t be late.” “Eh? This is... a clock!? I can’t accept such an expensive item!” “I personally made this, so it’s not particularly expensive. But since you’re going to be uncomfortable even if I tell you it’s okay... Just pay for the material. It’s three small silver coins.” What I took out was the pocket watch I made before, with the same design as the one hanging around my waist right now. By the way, it was incorporated with a triple-axis tourbillon. Ah, I also attached a chain on it. I made around ten in a batch, so giving one or two of them didn’t really matter. But now that she said it, pocket watches were luxury items. Probably, the price of this item at a store would be a couple of small gold coins.

No, I was talking alone with Marquis-sama in the reception room of the Bozes family, but Iris-sama and Beatrice-chan, who had been out, came back, so the conversation was cut off. Even Marquis-sama, who said that it was just the two of us, couldn’t force a woman from another family to say her age in front of Iris-sama and Beatrice-chan. ......I was saved...... However, Iris-sama will be told the fact that I am an adult as soon as I return. Then the party thing will become a reality. And the fact that the host is Marquis-sama means that he’s also the one who selects the invited guests. ......What kind of arbitrary selection of people is going to take place? Now I’m scared! But really, what purpose is the party going to serve?..... There’s no possibility that it’s a party to choose my fiancée, right? Considering the current political situation in this country, I don’t think that Marquis Bozes intends to marry me off to another family as quickly as possible. Of course, marrying outside the country is out of the question. It will take me and the people I brought with me, the Shipbuilding Three Musketeers, etc., to build the large ships, to research and develop rifles and grenades, miniè guns or breech-loaded rifles, ship’s equipment and tools, and all the rest of it. I am fluent in New Continental languages and know technical terms related to shipbuilding, so I can be an interpreter when complicated problems arise. So, since it’s Marquis-sama, I’m sure that other countries, other factions, and even those of the same faction, would not want young men near me. No, to begin with, no matter how much my guardian Marquis-sama is, I am the head of an independent noble family, so Marquis Bozes have no right to decide who I marry or force me to get engaged, right? That is interference with other noble families and is an act of overreaching. If they find out I’m an adult, then they don’t need to be my guardian anymore, right? And if push comes to shove, I can tell the king, “I’m in trouble because he’s forcing something selfish against me, Viscount Yamano”. If I ask the king to remove him as my guardian, it will work out somehow. Although, if I asked for help, nobles from other factions would criticize the Bozes family and move to defend me. It’s the pattern that Marquis Bozes-sama was worried about. No, I’m not looking for a fight with Marquis Bozes-sama. But being forced to marry against my will is a different story. Does a daughter of a noble family marry for the sake of her family, not of her own will? No, it’s “according to the judgment of the head of the family”. ......And I am the head of the Yamano family, not Marquis Bozes-sama.</s>

And I realized that we had a frontier here, a very important one, that it was just a matter of changing the perspective, and the web could be actually used, already used, as a colossal and uncontrollable and highly anarchical TV channel, TV network, and anyone with very basic skills and very basic equipment, even someone like me who had this little stuttering issue, so if it happens, bear with me please, even someone like me could become a broadcaster. And that sounded revolutionary in my mind. So for the next couple of years, I started to experiment with livestreaming in different ways, not only in the streets but mostly in studios and in homes, until the beginning of 2013, last year, when I became the cofounder of a group called Mídia NINJA. NINJA is an acronym that stands for Narrativas Independentes Jornalismo e Ação, or in English, independent narratives, journalism, and action. It was a media group that had little media plan. We didn't have any financial structure. We were not planning to make money out of this, which was wise, because you shouldn't try to make money out of journalism now. But we had a very solid and clear conviction, that we knew that the hyperconnected environment of social media could maybe allow us to consolidate a network of experimental journalists throughout the country. So we launched a Facebook page first, and then a manifesto, and started to cover the streets in a very simple way. But then something happened, something that wasn't predicted, that no one could have anticipated. Street protests started to erupt in São Paulo. They began as very local and specific. They were against the bus fare hike that had just happened in the city. This is a bus. It's written there, "Theft." But those kind of manifestations started to grow, and they kept happening. So the police violence against them started to grow as well. But there was another conflict, the one I believe that's more important here to make my point that it was a narrative conflict. There was this mainstream media version of the facts that anyone who was on the streets could easily challenge if they presented their own vision of what was actually happening there. And it was this clash of visions, this clash of narratives, that I think turned those protests into a long period in the country of political reckoning where hundreds of thousands of people, probably more than a million people took to the streets in the whole country. But it wasn't about the bus fare hike anymore.</s>

A pair of dragonflies swam happily in the clear autumn sky. It was the first month of autumn, and half a year had passed since she came to the academy. Sheila came to Felix’s mansion like usual on a lunar day. It was a debriefing as usual. When she entered the mansion with Lulu, who was there to welcome her, she was greeted by Richard. “It’s been a long time, Miss.” “That’s an exaggeration, Richard-san. It’s been about two weeks at most.” Sheila couldn’t come visit last week because she was working at the pharmacy, but it hadn’t been that long. Richard made a wry face at Sheila, who laughed it off. “For the past two weeks, I’ve been waiting a thousand times a day for your visit.” “Eh?” Upon closer inspection, Richard looked heartbreakingly gaunt, and with all due respect, his hair seemed scarcer than before. Although he never stated it explicitly, she could sense that he had been through a lot. “Um.... It’s because of Felix, isn’t it?” Felix had the annoying habit of pestering and messing with those around him when he wasn’t with his sister. Come to think of it, he once came for a visit during a training session because he couldn’t stand it. Just how many unreasonable demands was the middle-aged butler exposed to? On behalf of her brother, Sheila bowed her head in sincerity. Richard, who laughed and forgave her, saying, “You mustn’t bow to me, Miss,” was the very definition of a servant. Just like that, she was guided to the office where Felix was. Lulu left for the time being to prepare tea. “Sorry to disturb you, Felix.” At his office desk by the window, Felix, bathed in the autumn sunlight, was working on a document. His silver hair shone transparently and his face was delicately beautiful as he worked on his papers. The young man broke into a sweet smile the moment his gray eyes caught Sheila’s. “――Ah, Sheila.” He stood up and immediately closed the distance. He hugged her to his chest with such force that Sheila found it hard to breathe. “Wait, Felix?” “I’ve wanted to meet you for so long. It’s really the real Sheila, isn’t it?” “Of course I’m real, what are you talking about?” Felix stared at Sheila with wistful eyes as she pulled out of his arms and escaped from him. “I’ve been thinking about Sheila a lot lately because I miss you so much. Then, strangely enough, I gradually began to see hallucinations of you....” “――So, you didn’t get any paperwork done?”</s>

I realized how great a prince’s power was. Everyone thought Duke could fix the problem. Liz and the other five nobles were standing there with pale faces, but they seemed somewhat relieved when Duke arrived. They didn’t seem to have gone inside yet. A foul odor wafted from the classroom, making me sick. We continued inside the classroom, covering our mouths with our hands. “What the hell...” The grim reality before us made me nauseous. Several decapitated rats lay on the floor. The smell of blood combined with the smell of rats made it even worse. I had not seen a dead rat in a long time. I had only seen them in the impoverished village. Duke ran over to a female student who was lying on the table. We also rushed to the girl’s side. I had seen this girl’s face before.... Chestnut hair and freckles...it was Emma! She was a Liz follower who had previously attempted to set up Alicia, but she was no match for Alicia. Marika, who was also a firm believer in Liz, was actually taking advantage of Emma. But then, when Alicia overheard Marika and the others ridiculing Emma in the cafeteria, she threw a knife against the wall and threatened them. That was fantastic. Oh, I could not wait to see Alicia... I was missing Alicia’s presence even more. I was thinking about this while watching Emma, who was now in a terrible state. I had grown accustomed to seeing scenes like this in the impoverished village. An ordinary aristocrat would have vomited and run away from this place at first sight. I believed that it would be that unbearable. Emma had a bruise on her head, and blood was running from her forehead down to the teacher’s table. Her body was also probably covered in bruises. Her leg was broken, and it was pointing in an unusual direction. She must be in a lot of pain. She was barely breathing and even though she was unconscious, she had a pained expression on her face. “She was a Liz follower before becoming an Alicia follower, and I wonder if she was made this way as an example to all of them.” “That may be so.” Duke nodded at my words. I was certain that Duke knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes with Marika and Emma. Because it had something to do with Alicia.... “For now, clean up the blood on the floor.” Duke said to Curtis, who pulled an “Oh, really?” face and grimaced. I remembered that look from when Alicia was kidnapped in a shed and Curtis cleaned up the blood on her clothes a long time ago.</s>
