Initial Meetings Definition The first meeting at the beginning of a relationship. In the context of ICU, this is how April/September/OYR students find themselves in situations where they have a chance to meet each other. Explanation Finding people Japanese POV It may be a simple matter of finding someone to talk with for some people. But for others it can be stressful and energy-consuming. At the first meeting, they select the persons whom talk with carefully. On the other hand, other person do not mind that. Outsider POV A basic characteristic of forming Japanese relationships seems to be the consideration of the benefit of the relationship beforehand, because in Japan, individuals are not so much considered for their own ability, but who they know. Starting conversations Japanese When a suitable person is found to talk to, they approach the person shyly. The conversation is started by asking where the person lives, how old the person is, or which club the person belongs to. If they find they have things in common (same hobby or same hometown), a good feeling develops. However, their nervousness will continue. On the other hand, other people find it easier to meet people for the first time. When they find someone new, they will approach them with a smile and start some kind of small talk. Outsider Americans don t really consider where and when they meet people or hesitate to start conversations. During conversation Japanese Some people find these inital conversations worrysome or stessful, and other people are good at making conversation. They can follow the subject with ease. They can easily bring out the characteristics of the person they are talking with. Thus the conversation can progress enjoyably, and it can continue or stop naturally. Outsider Japanese people are concerned about 間合いのつめかた(maai no tsumekata), which means how/when to progress in a relationship, a concept that most foreigners are thoroughly unaware of. The context of a situation and the ability to "read the air" dictates the appropriate behavior in Japanese mind. The end of the meeting Japanese The end of the meeting, some people will exchage e-mail addresses, hoping to later to send email. However, they are glad to exchange e-mail addresses because that is proof of their new friendship. Exchanging e-mail is the best way to keep a friend, and as they get to know each other, their conversation will improve in time. Outsider Americans may exchange phone numbers, and it doesn t matter if they will call the new person or not. Often phone numbers are exchanged for other reasons than simply just to "become friends." Another day after the meeting Some people worry about whether they have become friends or not, so when they meet the persons, they hesitate to interact with them. On the other hand, some people do not think about weather or not they have become friends, they think only of the good time they had with the new person. Outsier For [Americans], personality and individual compatibility determine how the relationship will progress. One of the main problems between the groups at ICU, the OYRs, the September students and the April students seems to be actually meeting one another. In Japan there are certain ways one normally makes friends, such as joining a club or living in the dorms. But many of the students do not have these opportunities. For example, many clubs do not want OYR students, who are preoccupied with traveling and are only at ICU for a year anyway. Compared to other Japanese universities, a relatively small number of people join clubs at ICU. So ICU students are already at a disadvantage when it comes to meeting people. Relationships in Japan are taken very seriously, maintained, nurtured, and sometimes extinguished. To many OYRs, this is a strange process...especially to many Americans, who make friends with anyone, anywhere, and for any reason, and rely on their own personal ability to make it in life rather than the relationships they form. That is to say, the way of making friends is serious problem for some people, and for others it is quite easy. Of course, friends are a very important part of life for everyone. Examples / Actual Cases Many OYRs initially were interested in joining the Smooth Step circle, which would have been a great way to interact with Japanese students however, it turned out that the Smooth Steppers didn t want OYR students because they couldn t participate in March practices. The practice seemed to be made as to completely discourage OYR participation. It also seems that many Japanese people feel intimidated by foreigners joining clubs! Smooth Step didn t want foreign girls because they are "too cute." This competitive factor completely discourages meeting in a club or circle scene. And even Japanese people have trouble meeting other Japanese people. A September says When I first entered ICU, I didn t know anyone - I felt so alone, because there were no friends that I could spend time with. I was very motivated and wanted to make friends, but it was hard. The JLP classes were too small and the other classes were too big (since I was taking GE classes), and those classes were almost completely comprised of individual work. There was no "出会い", no chances to meet people. Even though I met many other September students, I didn t get a chance to meet OYR students and April students. Solution / Recommendation / Suggestion etc. Suggestion 1 It is impossible to tell Japanese people to give up on their mindset, so the best thing for a foreigner in Japan to do is understand how Japanese people approach making new relationships. Foreigners should take the initiative when it comes to making Japanese friends, and they should also be aware of "imposing" too much of their own personality on sensitive situations; ie any first meeting one has with Japanese people they hope to befriend! Suggestion2 Good initial conversations are a solid foundation for a good friendship! When having conversations with Japanese people, be aware of quanity(make your contribution only as informative as required), quality (make your contribution truthful, and do not say anything for which you lack evidence), relation (allow people to know how they relate to you), manner (communicate clearly, avoid ambiguity and be bfief), and behavior (be aware of the other person s feelings, and listen and respond to what they have to say).

It s a sort of urban water cooler legend. "Whatever happened to Alvin Peats?" No one knows, but there are lots of theories. Some say they ve heard he s being kept alive by machines, and that he still controls WATIcorp. It s the kind of thing you have a good laugh at. He wasn t just hooked up to a machine, Damien. He looked like he was a machine. At least, partly so. I ll have to be careful, though, especially since the worm s still working its way into the core. I can t do anything to draw attention to myself. When is it going to start transmitting data back to you? In a day or two. Hopefully. Things are on high alert right now, and every bit of data going in and out of the core is being analysed. (Yawns) You must be tired. I m keeping you up. I m sorry, I m just... Hey, no, no need to find a hotel. You can stay here. I mean, if you re comfortable with that. I can sleep on the floor. You really don t have to― I know. But you ve been through a lot, and you re helping me out, so the least I can do is let you sleep in my bed. (Laughs) Thanks, Damien. If you re okay with me staying here, I will. Okay, so... Let me get the bed ready for you. That s okay, I can― Um. Yeah. Just... I guess you can give me a hand. Okay. Yes. Great. By the way, if I m gone when you wake up tomorrow, don t be alarmed. I have to be at the office quite early. That s okay. I ll be fine. I ll just stay here. Good. Let me find you a sheet and cover. Damien s Apartment Night Use Examine the guardian Crow is the most loyal friend I ve ever had. Examine crow in guardians realm Examine flower Backyard The Fringe War Garden Wati Museum Wati Dreamcore Inner Wati Dreamcore Wati Arboretum Temple Square Guardians Realm Russia Outside Inside Factory That door leads to the other half of the monastery. Look at It s closed. That s the door to the room with the glass walls. It s a card reader. That opens up to the loading bay. It s a heavy duty hook, connected to a winch, which is again connected to the boom. That s the main entrance. Oh my God, what did I unleash? That s the freakiest thing I ve ever seen. It s been ten years since I ve walked through one of those. I need to speak with the Guardian before going back to Arcadia. Swamp City Town That s one huge dead animal. The Captain got the ship out of Marcuria just in time. Another few hours, and they would have arrested everyone, I m sure of it. I m so glad to see that Na ane is safe...though I wonder how she managed to escape the Azadi. Examine before Na ane told me to meet the messenger on the pier. Examine after Kara is the closest thing this town has to a mayor. She was elected to head the council last spring. I think the supplies will improve everyone s morale. Life s been tough this winter, but now there s food for everyone, and medicine for the sick. The supplies are being distributed around town. We don t want to keep it all in one place, in case of...trouble. What s that? Seeing it The witch is here, as promised. She will bring me the Scorpion, and then my mission will be...completed. Examine before talk I need to speak with her, so that she can tell me where to find the Scorpion. Examine again What is that? Spotting the arrow Rebels. But I m not here for them. I m here for the Scorpion. The supplies made it here. Good. I had no wish for their women and children to starve or to fall ill. Faith or no faith - innocent lives are precious. April! MISSING TEXT I m here. I have kept my part of the bargain. Now it s your turn. I have done what you asked of me, Azadi. Your Scorpion waits on that pier. Alone. Leave. If I ever see you again, my sword will kiss your throat. For what I have done, I am already dead. Who are... You. I remember you. From Marcuria. But you re... You re the Azadi. What are you doing here? Have you been― Shit. You followed me here. I swear by my sword, I did not follow you. I came here by...other means. I wish you no harm, mistress. You spoke to me with honesty back in the city, and I respect that. So what the hell are you doing here? If you brought soldiers with you... There are civilians here, women...and children. I did not bring any soldiers. I am alone. Please. Let me explain. I m an Apostle. We are...missionaries. We bring the Word of the Goddess to unbelievers. But we do so with cold steel and swift death instead of sermons and prayers. We are the last resort. And we are feared. I have never before doubted the righteousness of my mission. The Goddess is the one true deity, and we must bring her light to the darkest places. And yet... I have seen and heard many things in my brief time here in the Northlands. I have seen with my own eyes how ignorance and fear are leading some of my people astray, how arrogance and distrust threaten to corrupt our mission. I have witnessed deeds – deeds of which you spoke so passionately when we first met - that have lifted a veil from my eyes. Does the Goddess, in her infinite and unquestionable wisdom, truly want us to commit these deeds on sovereign peoples, in these sovereign lands? Bravo. That s a very convincing speech, Apostle . You almost had me going there for a moment. I am an assassin, and my mission is plain and undisputable. Only... I believe now that the Goddess has led me here for another reason. Led me to you. Why else would She have brought us together, first in Marcuria, and now here, if it wasn t to show me – show us – a different path? Sorry. I don t believe in destiny or divine intervention. Not anymore. I believe that some things are meant to happen. Call it destiny. Call it the will of the Goddess. Call it chance. But do not call it coincidence. So, what now? You expect me to just let you walk out of here, to accept that you ve seen the light ? No. Yes. I...don t know what to think anymore. I only wish to speak with you for a little while longer. To understand. To open my heart to a different truth. I believe the Goddess wishes to speak to me. To me, and not to those who would interpret her Word to suit their needs. And what s your goddess telling you? That my path, a path I have never even considered questioning until this moment, may be one that leads into shadows, and not into light. Look... If you came here to find enlightenment, Azadi, you ve come to the wrong person. The name is Kian, mistress. I cannot claim that I came here to find enlightenment. Quite the opposite. Yet now I m starting to see that a great injustice may have been done to the peoples of the Northlands. You re planning on turning against your own? I will never take up arms against those I have sworn to protect, but I intend to return to Sadir and inform the Six - our Empresses – about what goes on in the provinces. Why? Because it is not right, it is certainly not the will of the Goddess, and it is a betrayal of everything I ve been taught to believe in. I still don t understand...Kian. Faith, mistress. I feared I was losing it, but I was wrong. My faith is as strong as ever. I... I guess I owe you a name. I m April. April. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. You shouldn t stay. If anyone sees you... You will not tell them? I don t have an easy time trusting anyone, Aza― Kian. But I m beginning to believe that you re the real thing, an honourable man. I try to be. But I still don t understand why you re here. And I don t understand why Na ane told me that you re― I knew you were weak, Apostle, but I never imagined you would go so far as to betray your own people. Vamon? What in the name of the Goddess are you doing? Your job, Alvane. Destroying the enemy. Or did you forget that was why you were sent here? There are women and children in this city, Vamon. Civilians! They re all equal in the eyes of the Goddess, are they not? Terrorists, wives of terrorists, children of terrorists... Sinners. Every one of them. As for this one... Is this who you were sent to kill? To...kill? No. I was about to tell you. I did not know who you were. I came to find the Scorpion, and I found you in his place. Scorpion... That s― That s the name your people gave me. After I put the fear of the Balance into them. You re...him? Your mouth is filled with venom, witch, even to the last. You are truly beneath us. And you, Alvane... Arrest him. Lower your weapon, soldier. I m an Apostle. No more, Kian Alvane. You have betrayed the Six, you have strayed from the Path, and you have forsaken the Mission. You have become soft like a spoiled fruit. You actually empathise with these heathens and murderers. You, Apostle, have committed a mortal sin. You have lost your Faith. No, Vamon. It is not I who have strayed from the Path. It is not I who have lost my Faith. What are we doing to these people? Why are we trespassing on their land? This is not the will of the Goddess. So now you question your Empresses, too? Your hole grows deeper by the second, Apos― Alvane. Still, the Goddess is merciful, and so am I. I ll give you one more chance to prove your loyalty and save yourself from eternal damnation. Do what you came here to do. Kill this murderous witch. Kill the Scorpion. Just get it over with. I came here to face the Scorpion, but I didn t know who the Scorpion was. I could never harm you. No I have no right to end her life, she was only protecting her people How do you know that this woman is the Scorpion? Are you feeble? Or just deaf? She confessed to us. I am the Scorpion. Do you honestly think I fear death? I ve faced it countless times, and I ve never blinked. You should fear death, witch. The Goddess does not smile on murderers and heretics. What stays your blade, Alvane? Whomever she is, whatever she s done, she does not deserve death. I cannot kill her. Stall I need to stall them Spare her life, Vamon. Please. She has only killed to protect her land and her people. She has murdered trueborn, Alvane. Her hands reek of their blood. How can you proclaim her innocence when she admits her own guilt so readily? At least let her stand trial. Let her speak. Let her explain her actions to the Council. Maybe then― I m not going to stand in front of your judges and plead for my life. I d rather die here. Plead Her life must be spared If I do not kill you, he will. And that makes it all right? I guess the true measure of a man is what he does when a knife is put to his throat. And you, my friend... You failed. Don t say that. I have no wish to kill you, but my Mission― Your mission ? You ve been blinded by faith, Kian. You can t see wrong from right. I feel sorry for you. I... I can t. I cannot kill you. You do not deserve to die. Yes She has murdered many of my people, and she deserves to die Very well. You ve made your choice. Kill her. No! Please don t tell me you felt for that Goddessless butcher. What you re doing here is wrong! What, protecting our people from terrorists? Destroying the enemy s stronghold? Tell me, Kian, what exactly am I doing wrong? These people are only defending their homes and lands from invaders. We re in the wrong here, not them. You ve fallen far deeper than I thought possible, Alvane. It will be entertaining to see you stand trial. It will not happen. When the Emissary― The Emissary was the one who ordered you arrested, Alvane, after you let the innkeeper and that smuggler vessel go. It was clear to the Mistress that your loyalties were no longer with the Empire. Although, ironically enough, you were the one who led us here. I am sure that will count in your favour at the trial. Maybe they ll even let your body lie in a marked grave. Take him away. I ll make you pay for this, Vamon. I swear by the Goddess, I will not rest until your beating heart is in my hand. Such unpleasantness... Kill them all. Burn the city down. Leave no prisoners. Na ane? April-an. It brightens my heart and spirit to see you here, safe and in good health. We heard that you had escaped Marcuria, but I was worried nonetheless. And now the stars have brought you back to us. How did you get out of Marcuria? I heard they shut all the gates and posted guards at all exits. As a stowaway on a tradeship bound for Corasan, and on a leapfur s back north along the old paths. A Zhid was generous enough to share her mount with me. I m glad you re safe. Good thing Brynn and Chawan had just left with the supplies. They were the lucky ones. The stars shine on all of us, April-an. What about our friends at the Journeyman? What about Benrime? I m sure they don t feel so lucky right now. Fortune often has a dark side. But there may still be a chance to aid the innkeeper. What? How? I have just been told that someone arrives from Marcuria with word of Benrime. He wishes to speak with you. Who? A stranger...a friend. A messenger. He wishes to meet with you on the west pier. He will speak with you, and no one else. And you re sure this man is a friend? How did he find us? Would I lie to you, April-an? I m sorry, Na ane. Of course not. I trust you. I ll go right away. Listen, if it turns out this man has important information, and I have to go back to rescue― I would not let you walk alone, April-an. Go now. He arrives soon. You must go to the west pier. The messenger will meet you there shortly. We ll need to make another run south before the ice breaks, though I m guessing Marcuria is out of the question. We lost some good people. We got careless. Bah! We were as careful as we could be. We just got unlucky. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Let s just hope we got enough intelligence out of it to justify the losses. I wish I could say that s the case. The fact is, they re getting too strong for us. They tore us apart down there, easy as― Ah, quit your whining, woman! The Raven I know is tougher than that! There s enough doom and gloom in this place already. Which is why I m going back. To Marcuria? Are you sure that s wise? We stay here, we go there - it s all the same. They re coming, and they won t stop, not until we strike at their heart. Marcuria. The tower. Ha! The tower! It ll take more than you and your band of merry rebels to topple that one, Raven! And even if you do, you think that ll stop them? No, we need to stay strong, build our allegiances, recruit more people, and keep the enemy from our doorstep. Time and patience will decide the victor. We don t have time. Look at what happened in Marcuria! We have to act now. We have to take the war to them. I m inclined to agree, Raven, but we re not strong enough. Not yet. If you stay here, we can train more people, build our strength, and― And talk about how, some day, we ll crush the enemy and take back our lands and our cities. That s what we do best. Talk. They murdered my friends, they arrested our most trusted ally in Marcuria, and they re probably moving north even now. And you say we should wait? I m done waiting. Bah! The Azadi don t have a clue where we are. Trust me, Raven, we re safe here. Besides, no one but me and my boys can navigate the rivers and swamps between us and the Bay of Fire. Even if the Azadi should learn of our whereabouts, the scouts will give us two days warning. We ll sink their boats before they even know what hit em! Even so, I can t just sit here and wait. I have to do something. I swear, Raven, you ll get yourself killed one of these days. Huh. Sometimes I wonder if that s not what you want. But if it s south you want to go, if you want to take your war to the Azadi, then fine, you ll have my boat. I ll take you where you want to go. Now, you ll have to excuse me. We still have to unload the grain and move all the supplies into storage. I ll come by later and give you a hand. I just have a few people I need to speak with first. Enemy soldiers! You will be with your Goddess soon enough! I ll take a hundred of you to the grave with me! Kara. A moment, April. Please make sure the herbs are distributed to the lieutenants. They are each responsible for their group getting the medicine they need. April. Thank the Balance you escaped Marcuria, and that Brynn and Chawan made it here with the supplies. Your efforts are much appreciated. Kara, about Benrime. We need to do― She put her life on the line for us. We won t forget that anytime soon. We ll sing her song at the tables tonight. The Azadi will be keeping her alive until they can ship her west. They like to have a show trial before executing their prisoners. If I can take a dozen people with me south, I can― You intend to take on the entire Azadi army by yourself? No, April. This war will have its victims, and you ll have to learn to live with that. You may have a death wish, but not everyone shares your lack of faith in the future. In time, we shall prevail. I ve dedicated my life to fighting the Azadi, Kara. What makes you say that I have no faith? You ve already given up your life. You don t fight because you want to destroy them. You fight to destroy yourself and your demons. Granted, your ferocity and guidance have strengthened us. The enemy fear and curse your name, and you ve made them tread more cautiously in the north... But both you and I know you re not doing this for any greater cause. You re doing this because it s the only thing you have left. And I can t have you taking our people with you on a suicide mission. So we let Benrime rot in prison, is that it? We let them take her to their country, where she ll die because she helped us? Yes. We do. Benrime wasn t― isn t stupid. She knew the risks, she knew it was a dangerous game to play, and she played it as safe as she could. Unlike you. I don t accept that. I can t leave her to die. Accept it or not, you re not taking anyone south. We have enough trouble protecting our homes and our supplies. We can t afford another setback. They re not your people. They make their own decisions. That they do. And you may find that, for once, you re on your own. Now, if you ll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to. I ll see you at dinner tonight, April. And thank you again for bringing us the supplies. Without them, we wouldn t have lasted through the winter. There s no point. She won t understand. I would just be wasting my time. Azadi! There are too many of them! Run! Where did they come from? Under attack I know they re running short of warm clothes in Snapjaw s Cove, Jiran. We need to send a boat over there with coats, shoes, and blankets. And in Bunnvik, they are fighting a fierce fever. We need to get them some medicines, and soon. It s not safe for them to travel to Corasan any longer. There are more and more Azadi in that city. It s only a question of time before the council announces their allegiance to the Empire. We ve all lost our homes and our lands, but thanks to you, Raven, there s still hope that we will see them again some day. The Azadi will never find us here...will they? I don t want to run again. I m tired of running. How s Marcuria doing? I wonder if I ll ever be able to freely walk her streets again... Who are you? I haven t seen you before. So many newcomers... Will the Azadi ever stop moving eastward? You must be one of the Southlanders from Ge en. Have the enemy taken over your lands as well? We need more of you to come here. That s a great outfit. Where did you get it? The enemy s attacking! It s the Azadi army! They re here! The enemy s here! My entire family was taken from me by the Azadi. For every loved one, I will slay a hundred of them. A thousand! Thank the Balance you all made it home, Raven. We ve seen this war claim too many lives already. I never wanted this, but the enemy left us with no choice but to take up arms against them. To April I haven t seen you around the campfire, handsome. Are you from the eastern fringes of the swamp? I think I would have noticed you. I don t talk to strangers. You never know who to trust. Did you hear about Raven and her team? They brought the supplies with them from Marcuria. There s going to be a feast tonight! To Kian The enemy! How did they find us? The Azadi are here! Azadi Don t let anyone escape! Round them up and kill them, every one of them! Leave no one alive...not even the women or children! They are all heathens in the eyes of the Goddess! There are more over here! Break down this door, soldier! Swiftly! Over here, boys! Hurry! For the Goddess! Victory! Your war is at an end, rebel scum! Stand down! Battle cries Yes, sir. Don t move. Stand down. As you please.

Every time I return, there s another new addition. There are five separate sections of the city, and you can only get from one to the other via boat.

Reza Climb Hands behind your head! That s him, the man I ve been following. new Keyword Castillo home Localized name of character I promised Liv I d stop by her shop after the gym. She wants to show me something . It s not that she tries to be cryptic - she just can t help it. Whatever she wants to show me, I m sure it ll be interesting. Liv rarely disappoints. I should stop by the shop. Liv wanted to show me something . It s not that she tries to be cryptic - she just can t help it. Whatever she wants to show me, I m sure it ll be interesting. Liv rarely disappoints. I ran by Liv without saying hello! What was I thinking? That was rude. I ll have to go back to the shop later to make it up to her - but I ll wait until after the gym. Chances are she s already forgotten all about it, anyways. She s not exactly the resentful type. What s happened to Reza? Where is he? No one knows where he is - not even Martin. I can t get a hold of him, and the EYE s looking for him. I have to help him somehow. I have to find him. Reza left a message for me with Wonkers, something about a hidden safe in his apartment. Lucia, Reza s Watilla, can open it for me if I tell her the correct codeword. Whatever s in that safe, maybe it ll lead me to him...or at least point me in the right direction. Olivia gave me a hack that can be used to disable locks. I ll need that to get into Reza s apartment. Shit. They ve placed a surveillance spider in Reza s place. I ll need to find a way to disable that to get into his safe. Also, the spider fried Lucia. Hopefully, I ll be able to fix her. I took a close look at the spider. It has a logo that looks like a lion s head. I ve seen that before on other robots, but I can t remember which company it belongs to. Liv might be able to make use of that information. Good job, Zoë! You re well on your way to becoming a secret agent. Okay, so now I need to find a way to fix Lucia before she can open the safe for me. Lucia s battery and processing unit have been completely fried by the spider. I must find replacements for both of them. I got a new Watilla battery from Liv. Now I just need a functioning processing unit. Where can I find a working Watilla? I borrowed Wonkers processing unit. Poor guy, I feel terrible. All I need now is a working battery I have both the battery and the brain. I ought to be able to get Lucia back on her feet again now. Fingers crossed. Lucia s awake. I ll just need to tell her the codeword, and she ll open Reza s secret safe...I hope. That was close. I have become a magnet for trouble...or, more accurately, Reza s gotten himself involved in something really bad, and I just happen to be in the wrong places at the wrong times. These past two days have had enough close shaves to last me a lifetime...and if it keeps going like this, it ll be a very short lifetime Is it just me, or did that cat look a little creepy? There was something odd about its eyes... They looked a bit glassy. Reza was going to Newport in North America - to a place called Venice - to meet someone called Charlie at The Fringe...whatever and wherever that may be. If that s where he s headed, I m going after him. He definitely needs my help I m here. Newport. Venice. Now to find The Fringe and this Charlie person. Maybe one of the locals could point me in the right direction? That Chinese guy told me where to find The Fringe. What was it again... The other side of the Crossroads, and through Via Milano to Florence Square? Reza s okay, thank God. It appears that he was planning to break into a place called the Victory Hotel. That was last night...but it s the only clue I have to go on. I have to follow him. He could still be there. That girl again! This is not viral marketing, that s for sure. She s talking to ME. I don t know who s doing it, or how, but someone s definitely trying to tell me something Marcus promised to meet me later tonight at the The Fringe. I guess I ll just go there and wait for him. I need to speak with Charlie, too. The only thing in that wardrobe was the picture of him and the two girls. I don t see how that has anything to do with Reza or the scary girl on the screen, but it s all I have to go on. I should try and call Reza again. Charlie said I could use one of the VIP rooms upstairs. There must be a way to get to the top of that waterwheel. Looks like that s the only way out of here. Dream or no dream - drug-induced or not - I have to deal with the reality of this place, and that means doing what this innkeeper is telling me to do. She seems friendly enough The innkeeper can t make any mulled wine until she gets her delivery of spices, so I ll need to go to the South Gate Market to pick them up for her More running around! The spice merchant hasn t received his delivery of spices this morning, so I agreed to pick it up for him I got the spices. Now I ll just have to run back - again! - to the spice merchant to give him the spices and get the innkeeper s delivery.. I have the innkeeper s delivery of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices. Time to get back to the inn to get that mulled wine for Blind Bob. I should get the mulled wine to Blind Bob. I found Crazy Clara, but she s not being very communicative. She misses her baby - a pet of some kind - which, as far as I can tell, was taken by the soldiers and put in a cage Clara seems very happy to have her baby back, and now I know where to find Minstrum Magda. She s the soup lady down in the marketplace - the one I ve passed by several times already, go figure. Time to go talk to her. That boy really wants me to follow him. If he can get me in touch with April, I don t think I have a choice Was it all just a dream, or did I really go to this Arcadia place? Who knows, and it doesn t matter. My priority is findin Wati City, Japan. God, it s freezing Reza s contact is a Damien Cavanaugh, and he works right here at WATI HQ. Liv said he s most likely at work today. All I need to do is find a way into the heavily fortified headquarters of one of the world s largest corporations, search through their offices - which are no doubt guarded by aggressive bots - and convince this Damien guy to talk to me All right, this is it, I ve completed the transition from bored college drop-out to secret agent. My mission? To infiltrate a high security lab, insert a worm into an organic computer, and get out undetected Okay, that s one thing crossed off the list. Now I need to find a capsule to put this worm into. Damien said to look in th Next, I need to scan both the worm and myself. The scanners are in the medlab. Now I have to find the key to get into the Dreamcore. Damien told me there would be a datakey in the security office somewhere, and he d make sure the guard would be away from his post. There s heavy security in the security office - that didn t come as a big surprise - so now I have to shut down the grid. The only way to do that is from inside the security office, using a spider The security office should be accessible now. I ll need to find the datakey to unlock the door to the Dreamcore. This is it. Time to enter the core room itself and insert the worm into the Dreamcore. I ll need to keep an eye out for people. If they see me, they ll trigger the security routines. The alarm s gone off! I hope it wasn t me. I need to find a way out of here - but I won t be able to get out the same way I got in. The elevator s probably my best bet at this point. Why did the girl send me up here? There must be something she wants me to do... Back in this strange place again... This definitely feels like a dream. I m not cold at all, and everything s sort of...warped I m in prison Yay! April has found me, and she s sent her friend Crow to help me. Crow s a talking bird. (Yeah, I m starting to get used to the weirdness of this place. Too used to it. Crow s delivered the goods. I should be able to melt that lock with the acid potion, and knock the guard out with the smoke bomb. I ll just have to get close enough to hit my target, but not so close that he notices me. So, Zoë, stay low and aim well. The guard s out of commission and the coast is clear. Now I ll have to find a way out of this horrible place. There s no way past the guard on the floor below, but he s waiting for a sandwich to be delivered. I don t know if that information will be helpful to April, but it can t hurt. If nothing else, I guess it could get her into the building. That s a start. Day two aboard the airship, and I think I m starting to smell. Other than that, it s going well. Westhouse and Crow are good company, and the hammock is reasonably comfortable This city is completely amazing. Nothing I ve ever seen can compare with it. I wish I had a camera.. Where am I? I thought the White Dragon would send me back to my world, but this definitely isn t it. So what am I doing here? The virus originated from below my current position. There must be a basement of some kind. I need to find a way down there. Home again The EYE has sealed off Reza s apartment. I ll probably need Liv s help to get through the lock. She s the master of breaking into stuff. Liv gave me a hack to use on the spider. If I m successful with that, the spider will be permanently disabled. Liv told me that I ll need to stay quiet around the spider, or it ll wake from its sleep mode. If that happens, I ll have to stay completely still. It reacts to sound and movement, but it s otherwise quite stupid. To disable it, I ll need to find a way to expose it to running water. I have to get Reza s notebook to Liv. Okay, now I m running REALLY late for the gym! I shouldn t waste any more time. Jama will give me hell...in that quietly menacing way of hers. That thing with the screens... Am I the only one who s seen it? And what s with that girl?

It just can t Great. Turns out Blind Bob doesn t know where Minstrum Magda is, so he told me to go see someone called Crazy Clara who lives up Crab Bend , wherever that may be That Theoretically Blind Bob guy wants some mulled wine, made with Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices. Apparently, only the best will do even when you re living on the streets. Just your basic console. Look at back There s an icon here that says hallway . Look at front There s a corridor back there.

I think there s some sort of clockwork mechanism inside. Maybe that s what s generating electricity. On stick second It s cold and smooth, like an egg. And it s ticking like clockwork. In inventory It looks like a machine with a big wheel and a socket on top. I wonder what it does...and if it still works. Without egg first It s definitely mechanical. And old.

They are especially useful for expanding your civilization s borders during the early game. In Civilization IV, a temple is defined as a building where the faithful come to worship. Christians call their temples "churches," while Muslims call theirs "mosques," and Jews call theirs, simply, "temples." Temples are far more common than cathedrals, but much less large and ornate. Even the smallest village can possess a temple. Traditionally, the term "synagogue" is used to describe all Jewish houses of worship. For purposes of game clarity, Civilization IV uses the term to describe only the larger and more imposing structures; smaller religious structures are called "Jewish temples." Temples are places of prayer and study. Worshipers attend services on the "Shabbat" (or Sabbath), the day of rest which begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday. Jewish temples are often the center of Jewish life in a community, and may serve as schools, meeting places, libraries, and so forth.

They also provide culture and a slight boost to research. A monastery is a building where monks can retreat from the world and concentrate upon the divine. Usually a monastery will have strict rules of conduct to protect its unworldly members from temptation. In some monasteries, the monks are totally silent; in others no visitors are allowed inside. Monasteries usually have many daily rituals and religious services. Throughout the ages monasteries have often been centers of learning. In remote areas the monks may be the only literate people for miles around. Monks have often been employed as scribes, copying out the words of their religion s sacred scripture. Monasteries frequently have extensive libraries, holding religious, scientific, medical and philosophical texts. Though Judaism does not possess monasteries in the traditional sense, it does have Talmudic Academies, centers of learning where Rabbis discuss and debate the "Talmud," a record of rabbinical writings on Jewish law, ethics and custom. Aside from the Bible, the Talmud is the sole authority on many aspects of Jewish life and religious practice. Based upon earlier Jewish oral tradition, the Talmud was first put to paper in the second century, AD. It has been added to, debated and studied ever since.

It makes a city s citizens happy (if Judaism is the state religion). In Civilization IV, a cathedral is defined as an especially large and ornate religious building where the faithful worship. Only the most prosperous cities can afford to create cathedrals, as they require huge amounts of raw material and years of dedicated labor by skilled craftsmen. For example, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, took over two centuries to complete. Traditionally, the term "synagogue" is used to describe all Jewish houses of worship. For purposes of game clarity, Civilization IV uses the term to describe only the larger and more imposing structures; smaller religious structures are called "Jewish temples." A Jewish synagogue is a place both of worship and of study. Worship and prayer take place in the main room. The prayer may be led by a "rabbi" (teacher), but it is not necessary, and many synagogues do not have a rabbi in attendance. Many of the most beautiful synagogues in the world are found in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, many of the local worshipers were killed during the Holocaust, and most survivors fled to Israel, leaving these holy buildings sadly unattended.

It also spreads Judaism thoughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . According to Jewish tradition, Solomon s Temple was the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem, and, as the "dwelling place of God," the single most important building in the Jewish religion. Construction was begun by King David and completed by his son, Solomon. The temple was built by Phoenician workers using the finest materials available - stones quarried from beneath the city, wood from Lebanon, and 3000 tons of gold and 30,000 tons of silver. The result was an astonishingly beautiful edifice standing some 30 yards long by 10 yards wide by 16 yards in height. It took seven years to complete the Temple. The Temple consisted of three main rooms surrounded by smaller chambers. Upon climbing a set of stairs, the visitor would enter the vestibule, which was topped with two enormous pillars given the names of Jachin and Boaz. From there the visitor would proceed into the "Greater House" or "Holy Place," wherein important religious services were performed. Beyond the Greater House lay the "Holy of Holies," a square, cedar-lined room which held the "Ark of the Covenant." The Ark of the Covenant was a sacred container which held the stone tablets upon which were written the Ten Commandments, given by God to Moses. The building was surrounded by a courtyard in which the people worshipped. The Temple was pillaged many times over the years, and it was finally looted and burned to the ground by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon some time around 580 BC, during the time of the "Babylonian Captivity." Years later, many of the Temple s treasures were returned to the Jews by King Cyrus of Persia, but the Ark was missing. Some believe that the Ark was removed and hidden before the Babylonian attack, while others believe that the Ark was captured by Babylon and then destroyed or lost. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church claims to possess the Ark, it having been brought there by one of Solomon s sons. In any case, the destruction of the Temple was total, and there is much controversy and debate about where it originally stood. The "Second Temple" was constructed in Jerusalem in approximately 500 BC. It in turn was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. All that remains of this building is the "Western Wall," also known as the "Wailing Wall."

They are especially useful for expanding your civilization s borders during the early game. In Civilization IV, a temple is defined as a building where the faithful come to worship. Christians call their temples "churches," while Muslims call theirs "mosques," and Jews call theirs, simply, "temples." Temples are far more common than cathedrals, but much less large and ornate. Even the smallest village can possess a temple. Facing Roman persecution, the earliest Christians worshiped in secret in private homes, catacombs, and the like. The Emperor Constantine I legalized Christianity in 325 AD. Though not a Christian himself as is often mistakenly claimed, Constantine I built many Christian churches across Roman territory, including the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which many Christians believe is on the site where Jesus was born.

Usually a monastery will have strict rules of conduct to protect its unworldly members from temptation. In some monasteries, the monks are totally silent; in others no visitors are allowed inside. Monasteries usually have many daily rituals and religious services. Throughout the ages monasteries have often been centers of learning. In remote areas the monks may be the only literate people for miles around. Monks have often been employed as scribes, copying out the words of their religion s sacred scripture. Monasteries frequently have extensive libraries, holding religious, scientific, medical and philosophical texts. The first recorded Christian monastery was founded by Saint Anthony in Egypt around 300 AD. The idea spread throughout the Christian world, and eventually Christian monasteries could be found across North Africa, the Middle East, Western Asia, and Europe. The Roman Catholic Church has dozens of monastic orders, including the Benedictine, Franciscan, Jesuit, Carmelite, Trappist, Augustinian, and Knights Templar.

Only the most prosperous cities can afford to create cathedrals, as they require huge amounts of raw material and years of dedicated labor by skilled craftsmen. For example, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, took over two centuries to complete. Christian cathedrals are considered among the most beautiful buildings in the world. Many of the most imposing were built during the Middle Ages.

It also spreads Christianity thoughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . The Church of the Nativity was built in Bethlehem, atop the place where Jesus was born. Constructed in 325 AD, burnt during the Samaritan Revolt in 529 and then rebuilt over the next 50 years, the Church is one of the oldest continuously operating Christian churches in the world. It is also one of the most fought over. Over time the Church has been held by Crusaders, Muslims, and various Christian sects. Externally, the Church represents more a fortress than it does a house of worship. It is surrounded by a thick stone wall with few windows or entrances. The Church is laid out in the typical Roman basilica design, with three aisles leading to a semicircular apse containing the altar. The main room once featured walls covered with golden mosaics, but is now somewhat fallen into decay. Beneath the Basilica lies the "Grotto of the Nativity," an underground cave covering the place where Jesus is said to have been born. The exact spot of Jesus birth is marked by a silver star and surrounded by silver lamps. The compound containing the church is approximately 14,000 square yards in size. In addition to the Basilica, it contains a number of other important religious sites and three convents. Since its inception, Christianity has fragmented into a number of distinct sects. For many years these different groups have fought for control of the Church, and much blood has been shed on the sacred grounds. In recent years it has been administered by a coalition of Roman Catholic, Armenian and Greek Orthodox clerics, who in uneasy alliance make the Church available to all who wish to enter. Each year the Church is visited by thousands of Christian pilgrims. The Church s recent history has been as turbulent as it s past. The town of Bethlehem is in the West Bank of Palestine, which is periodically under Israeli occupation, and in 2002 the Church itself was occupied by 50 Palestinian fighters seeking refuge from Israeli defense forces. Somewhat miraculously the Church itself has suffered no damage in the recent conflicts, although the turmoil has greatly diminished the number of visitors to the site, which in turn limits the money available for its upkeep. Still, the Church remains one of Christianity s holiest of places, where God s only Son and the Savior of mankind entered the world.

Typically, a mandir is dedicated to a primary Hindu deity and other deities associated with that particular god, though in the US many different gods are worshiped in each mandir. The earliest mention of a mandir appears in the fifth century BC. The Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple built in the 12th Century AD, is one of the finest surviving Hindu mandirs in the world.

It also spreads Hinduism thoughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . Kashi Vishwanath was a temple located in Varanasi, "the oldest living city in the world," and the place most sacred to Hinduism. The origins of Varanasi are shrouded in history, but it is believed that the city is more than 3000 years old. After visiting the city, Mark Twain wrote that Varanasi "is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together." According to Hindu tradition Varanasi is the home of Lord Shiva and his consort, Parvati. Known as the Destroyer, Lord Shiva is part of the "trimurti" - the three aspects of God - creation, preservation, and destruction. Shiva s consort Parvati is seen as Earth Mother, and, according to tradition, the two are the parents of all living creatures. The city is also held sacred because it is here that the Ganges River gained the power to wash away sins. The Kashi Vishwanath is a golden temple standing at the city s center. The date of construction of the original temple is not known. It was destroyed in 1669 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who built a mosque atop the ruins. The present Kashi Vishwanath was built in 1776, across the street from its original location. The newer building s spire is about 50 feet in height and covered with over one ton of gold plating, donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The temple s interior consists of a mandapa (pillared hall) and a sanctum containing a silver altar. According to Hindu tradition, it was here that the first jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light by which Shiva manifested his supremacy over other Gods, broke through the earth s crust and flared towards the heavens. The altar contains a Shivalinga (an ancient symbol of Shiva) in its center to commemorate this event. It is believed that viewing the temple can transform a worshipper s life and put him on the path of knowledge and devotion, and each year the temple is visited by tens of thousands of Hindu faithful seeking enlightment.

The first mosque built was the "Kaaba," in Mecca, which resides inside of the the Masjid al-Haram. According to tradition, the Kaaba was originally a temple constructed by the prophet Abraham and his son, Ishmael. By the Prophet Muhammad s time, the Kaaba was being used to worship many "false" gods; he destroyed the idols and rededicated the structure to Allah when he captured Mecca in 630 AD.

It also spreads Islam thoughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . The Masjid al-Haram is an Islamic mosque in the center of the holy city of Mecca, which is located in western Saudi Arabia. The mosque contains the Kaaba, an ancient cube-shaped building which is said to have been built by the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son, Ishmael, at the orders of Allah, and which is believed to be the holiest place on Earth. The Kaaba in turn houses the "Black Stone," which it is said has fallen from heaven and has the power to cleanse worshippers of their sins. The Kaaba has always been revered as a holy place. Before the rise of Islam, the Kaaba was filled with idols, and Arabs from miles around came to worship there. Upon his return from exile, the Prophet Muhammad smashed the idols and rededicated the mosque to Allah and Islam. It has remained an Islamic holy place ever since and non-Muslims are forbidden to enter Mecca. The Masjid al-Haram is the focal point of the "hajj," a religious pilgrimage to Mecca required of all able-bodied Muslims (at least according to the Sunni sect). Every year during the holy month of Dhu l-Hijjah, upwards of three million people visit the holy city and the most holy mosque within, thus fulfilling one of the "five pillars of Islam." The mosque has been enlarged and modernized to handle the extraordinary influx of faithful, but both the city and the mosque can barely handle the traffic. The mosque is in the form of a huge sprawling building surrounding a mighty courtyard with the Kaaba in the center. The building is extraordinarily beautiful and constructed of marble and porcelain and gold and bedecked with graceful minarets (towers). The interior is a wonder of columned halls filled with tapestries and other marvelous decorations. The courtyard itself is paved with marble. Truly a magnificent place of worship, Masjid al-Haram is said by some to surpass the Taj Mahal in glory and wonder.

Buddhist monasteries were originally created to provide places for the wandering Buddhist monks to make their annual retreats. Some Buddhist monks stay indoors during the three-month rainy season to avoid damaging new plant growth (and to avoid being stranded during inclement weather). In the past, wealthy supporters donated plots of land where the monks could retreat; over time these have evolved into monasteries, often large and wealthy structures where monks can live year round.

It also spreads Buddhism throughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . Located near Patna, in Bihar state, India, the Mahabodhi is a Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya, the place where, according to Buddhist tradition, Siddhartha Gautama gained enlightenment and became the Buddha while meditating under a Bodhi (Peepal) tree. The Emperor Asoka constructed the "Golden Throne" sometime around 250 BC, and over time many other buildings and statues were added. In the 12th century the area was overrun by Muslims, and the temple sacked and largely destroyed. In the 16th century a Hindu monastery was established, and the monastery s abbot was given control over the temple grounds. Eventually the area came under British control. In the 1880s they began a major restoration of the temple, much against the wishes of the Hindu abbot. In the 1940s control over the site was given to the state, which manages the site with the advice of a committee containing Buddhists from the world over. A building of remarkable beauty and grandeur, the Mahabodhi is one of the oldest surviving brick buildings in India. Standing on the ruins of an even older "stupa," the temple consists of a high central tower surrounded by four smaller towers. The central tower rises some 60 feet in height. The edifice is covered by ornate and colorful molding, pilasters (pseudo columns), and arches, many of which contain bas relief sculptures. Inside sits a very large gilded statue of the Buddha. The statue sits where, legend has it, the Buddha was sitting when he achieved enlightenment. Near to the building stands a mighty Bodhi tree, a descendant of the one under which Buddha found enlightenment. The temple stands within an extensive complex of smaller temples, statues, and pathways running through beautiful parklands and alongside peaceful lakes. The temple and its surroundings remain a focus of Buddhist worship, and people from across the world come every year to honor the Buddha and to marvel at the beauty of the Mahabodhi.

It also spreads Confucianism thoughout the world and increases its city s chances of generating a Great Prophet . The Kong Miao, or Temple of Confucius, is located in the city Qufu in China s Shandong province. The origins of the temple date back to 478 BC, when a local ruler built a temple to honor Confucius (who had only recently passed away and was relatively unknown in most of China). As time passed and the fame of Confucius began to spread, the Kong Miao grew in stature and importance as well. The Han Emperor Wu Di offered sacrifices at the site in 205 BC, and the Kong Miao continued to be patronized by various emperors across the centuries. The actual buildings that make up the Kong Miao have been torn down and rebuilt many times over the centuries. The present layout dates to the early 16th century, when the temple was rebuilt following a massive conflaguration in 1499 sparked by lightning. Since this construction took place at the same time as Beijing s Forbidden Palace, there are many design similarities between the two complexes. The Kong Miao is known not only for its size (it comprises some 466 rooms), but also for its stone sculptures and calligraphy dating back to many different dynasties. Today it is both a holy Confucian shrine and a popular tourist attraction.

Unfortunately, many great Taoist pagodas were constructed of wood - wood holds special religious significance for Taoists - and have not withstood the onslaught of time. Taoist pagodas tend to be bright and colorful structures, with broad curving roofs that are adorned with divine figures and traditional symbols of luck such as dragons and carp.

The Taoist Dai Miao, or "Temple of the God of Mount Tai," is located on Mount Tai in Shandong Province, China. One of the "five sacred mountains of China," Mount Tai has been of great religious importance throughout Chinese history, and evidence suggests that pilgrims have been climbing the mountain for at least 3000 years. There are 22 temples, 97 ruins, and several thousand stone tablets and inscriptions scattered across the its rugged shoulders. The Dai Miao is the largest temple complex on the mountain, covering an area of about a million square feet. The buildings within the temple have been built and rebuilt a number of times, the most recent major overhaul occurring about 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. In its latest incarnation, the temple is a replica of the Imperial Palace. The complex has five major halls and many small buildings. The most important building is the Palace of Heavenly Blessings, constructed in 1008. The building contains a mural titled, "The God of Mount Tai Making a Journey."

Many people are looking for casual dating partners. Casual dating is a type of dating that usually happens without much planning. It typically involves one night stands, friends with benefits, and other types of short-term relationships. Some people say that the best way to find a casual date partner is to just go out and meet someone you re attracted to that you know you d like to sleep with. Others claim it s better to go on an online dating site or apps. While others suggest social gatherings, parties, bars, clubs, restaurants, grocery stores and other public places where people might be looking for casual dates. The Importance of Finding the Right Casual Dating Partner It is important to find the right casual dating, because there are many options available. People have different preferences when it comes to dating. Some prefer serious relationships, others prefer occasional dates with no commitments, while some want just a hook up. The good thing about casual dating is that people can take things at their own pace and find someone compatible for them. The downside of casual dating is that people are more likely to get hurt emotionally because the other person might not be interested in any kind of commitment or they might not even show up on the date. The other downside is that people will often feel guilty for finding someone who they can have fun with instead of focusing on finding a serious relationship partner. Finding the right casual dating partner can be difficult. However, there are many ways to get to know someone casually before you commit to anything serious. The best way to find a suitable casual date is by looking for someone who shares mutual interests with you. It will make the interaction more natural and you ll enjoy it more, too. What to Look for in a Casual Dating Partner When we are looking for a casual date partner, we should look for someone who is physically attractive to us and has a sense of humor. One way to get to know someone is by having a casual date. This means that there are no strings attached and you can get to know the person outside of the context of work or school. Casual dating partners must have specific attributes in order to suit your needs. If you want to have a fun, enjoyable evening on a casual date, then there are certain attributes that you should look for in your partner. It s not necessary to find someone who is like you, and it may be more fun and less awkward if you focus on finding someone with different interests. That way, they can show you new things and teach you about what they like to do in their free time. Anyway, you ll likely want to find someone who has similar values. Tips for Successful Casual Dating Online There are numerous ways to find a date, but the easiest and most convenient way is through dating apps. Here are some tips for finding a date on dating apps. 1. Upload photos of yourself from your profile. If one has no pictures up, it may be hard for others to see what they would be looking at when they went on a date with them. 2. Complete the bio - fill in as much information as possible about oneself and what they re looking for in a partner, including height and weight requirements if there are any. 3. Have someone else take photos of you if you don t know how to do it well or just prefer not to take selfies - this will ensure that the pictures are flattering and not awkward-looking shots taken from below your chin or something like that! When it comes to finding a date, there are so many options available. But, if you don t want to go to a bar and wait around for someone, you can try online dating. What is the Different between Hooking up and Casual Dating? Hooking up is different than casual dating because of the level of commitment and intimacy. Casual dating is more of a committed relationship where you are in a committed relationship but you are not yet ready to be in one. A hookup can be anything from making out to sexual intercourse. It may last only a few minutes or hours and doesn’t always involve exchanging names or contact information. Research has shown that there is no correlation between hookups and mental health, but casual dating will last longer than just one night. There appears to be an inverse correlation between casual dating frequency and mental health, meaning that the more often they date, the better their mental health will be.

There are some arguments against NEON OO Model on which Mops and Win32Forth are based. Most of those arguments stands on some implicit presuppositions that lead to the conclusionthat NEON OO Model is bad. I hate to participate in political debates disdaining something. But I will try here to defend NEON OO Model against tricky arguments. By the way, I never try to refute other OO models than that of Mops. Simply I want to free Mops OO Model from wrong images. An Object should be passed via parameter stack in Forth dialects? In Object Orientation Semantics, Object is a receiver of messages and an actor. It is not considered as a Data or Parameter or other thing to be passed to a procedure via parameter stack. Surely, an object is internally some data in Mops and Win32Forth, too. But the fact belongs to the implementation details. Implementation detail is another problem than the syntax and semantics of a language. If one says objects must be data so that they must be passed via parameter stack as parameters, the one is losing sight of OO semantics and sticking to the second class or pseudo OO, say, "Data Orientation". Of course, it is never wrong in itself for objects to be able to be passed as parameters. The objectID (normally pointer) of an object is surely a datum. But at the same time it could not be called a defect of the system if an object would not be passed as a parameter in normal message sending. So "selector object" syntax is never worse than "object selector" syntax from the view of OO semantics (human interpretation). Or rather "selector object" syntax is better in message sending appearance in my opinion because it distiguishes the actor (object) from parameters to be processed by it. The fact that Selector cannot be ticked hinders extensibility. By the way, why can Selector always be ticked? Tick pushes xt of the word ticked to data stack. Which xt? Selector is not a word in that its execution semantics is undefined without combining witha class or object. Surely, after defining a way of binding a selector can be ticked. That is, we can do in NEON Model AMETHOD SELECTOR [] ; AMETHOD But it is because by defining the selector as being late bound, looking for the appropriate method of a passed object through class linkage becomes a part of contents of SELECTOR s execution semantics.The opinion that a selecor should always be tickable is based on a presupposition thatselector always has its definite execution semantics.But the presupposition itself is false in NEON Model.In OO semantics of NEON Model it is object, not selector that looks for method in its class on gentting message. Normal selector in NEON model is a part of message but not a name of a procedure by itself. Still you need early bound method xt? If so you can do in PowerMops ref ACLASS AnObjRef no_subclasses \ ossia ObjPtr AnObjRef class_is ACLASS AMETHOD ( param1 param2 ... ^obj -- ? ) - AnObjRef SELECTOR AnObjRef ; AMETHOD Or you need faster late bound method xt using a methods table? If so you can do in PowerMops ref ACLASS AnObjRef AMETHOD ( param1 param2 ... ^obj -- ? ) - AnObjRef SELECTOR AnObjRef ; AMETHOD AnObjRef can be a temporary (that is, local) object when it is declared with "ref". Addition (8/3/06) An object could be seen as an actor or data+index to method. parameters selector object syntax shows the object as an actor and parameters+selector=message as Input to the object. That is, selector is a part of input to object.It is default OO syntax of NEON model, so we cannot reproduce the process or function from selector via tick. Why could we know from a part of the input, the process in which it will be thrown? On the other hand, Mops allows also to see an object as data+index to method.Index to method is a pointer to the class or to the method table in PowerMops.Other optional arrangements for method binding represent this consideration. Smalltalk-like late bind is slow. Yes, it is slow compared with early bind. Late bind is about 20 times slower than early bind in some bench mark code in PowerMops.But early bound method is very fast in PowerMops. Although it can not be generalized, early bound method of PowerMops on PPC seems to be about 5 times faster than equivalent non-OO code in GForth native on x86 machine in CPU clock base from some data. Anyway, PowerMops early bound method is really fast.Late bind is slower than _it_. On PowerPC, PowerMops late bound method is about 10 % faster than non-OO equivalent codein GForth 0.6.2. Damn slow? Definitely NO. In reality, iterative late binding (polymorphism) happens often on a heavy task in itself like "DRAW".In such a case over head concerning method binding is almost negligible. Besides. Who can say NEON Model is incompatible with a vtable like late bind?PowerMops class does build a methods table. It is not the matter of OO model.Again, an implementation detail!PowerMops doesn t require something like VIRTUAL declarations of methods, unlike C++.Quite handy. To tell the truth, PowerMops normal (wihout vtable) late binding implementation has a special search optimization (acceleration) mechanism. As the result, it becomes fast as it is.System implementer can and should elaborate one s implementation in order to make the system fit with the preference, unless the implementation details should be controlled by others. Conclusion An argument such that using such and such technique internally is bad will come typically from the view of language system implementers, not from that of users of the language. We could see the OO feature of a language as one of the tools to write application in the language. Implementation details could be left to the ingenuity of system implementers.Then we could concentrate the syntax-semantics relation of OO constructs.In this respect NEON model is not bad. If you have your own (favorite) Forth with OO extension different from NEON model,NEON model may look bad and ununderstandable. So what?From my experience Mops OO feature is very good for application programming.But if you don t understand and never have done programming in Mops, Mops code will look like unreadable. That would hold for any languages.The strength of OO syntax of PowerMops may be best realized when you are writing some application in PowerMops. -- Maybe not when you are trying to implement the OO model for your system. Theories concerning OO generally look like bound by (negatively or positively) the world view of Algol family (C, C++, Java). But Forth is flexible and extensible language, instead of inflexible and fixed language, like C.Why do we need to worry about OO theories build (aversively) on (procedural or sometimes even including hybrid type) Algol family languages?Java model may be good (the best? how about Objective-C? you stick to the (a bit old) industry and/or scholastic standard? It may be ok. But unfortunately we are free from such a credo.) OO construct in context of C. But its OO syntax and semantics look still in half way. "When an object is passed as a parameter to a procedure,the procedure checks the class and ..." This sounds like always-virtualized C++. But we really need it on Forth?Surely NEON model didn t look like (reversed) Java. But so what? Is it a bad signal in itself? In my opinion, the thought that an object is data is a quite low level idea.Even if such a thought is allowable, taking an object quite the same as other parameters is wrong according to the standard OO way of thinking. It might be better to push object IDs onto another stack than normal parameter stack in that such a thought, at least, is not confusing objects with data parameters.But once we suppose a special object stack to which objects are dynamically pushed at runtime, default late binding begins to look very natural in order to send messages consecutively to anonymous objects in the object stack. This thought seems to treat objects as a group of data.This grouping is realized as class-structures in Java or C++. Late binding loosens tight and narrow restrictions of class-as-type mechanism in Java or C++,and virtual method utilize this looser grouping. So late binding (sometimes identified with polymorphism) is seen as the true establishment of OO for Java or C++. In this philosophy, an instance (individual) is derived from its group (whole or class structure). Building the structure (set-subset grouping) is more important than individual objects. Objects (instances) are processed by something (method) according to the group they belongs to. Methods are the first class entities in this view, so each of them should have the independent meaning inspite of naming collisions.This is quite different from the philosophy of NEON model where the property of an individual object is more important than class structure, and the structure is a mere result of the similarity of properties among objects. Objects (instances) process some data as processors using their methods.Objects are the first class entities and methods are secondary (ancillary) to the object that knows them. Surely, PowerMops uses systemcall functions. Those are written in C++ so that a system object is a data -- low level object -- to be passed as a parameter to a function.But we know our OO model can cohabit with it because ours lives at higher level. In NEON OO model we don t need to stick to the lower level to keep low level accessibility because our moving to the higer level never sacrifice the lower level constructs. Such a cohabitation of low level and high level is Forth, I think. In my humble opinion, C++ or Java looks like taking a side road to OO. In Smalltalk or NEON model we think that an object has its ability (functionality) and propertiesand shares those with other objects by inheritance. While in C++ or Java all such things seem to be treated in view of accessibility. It is not, of course, illogical. But at the same time such accessibility definitions can be so much complicated thatan object cannot be recognizable as a semantically definite entity. I suspect that this growing tendency of the complication of rules to define wether to allow/prohibit accessing may cause, so to speak, concentration of abstract class structure and thought that an object is a mere data because such a complication is very likely to break the unity of an object as an actor. Of course, such way of thinking or programming habit comming from the C++ or Java situation is neither bad nor good in and by itself. My point is that different presuppositions will lead to different ways of thinking or programming habits. Terribly bad design fom one point of view may not be so bad from another point of view, vice versa. We should reflect on which presupposition we are putting in evaluating something. That s all. Mops default method binding is said to be Early Binding. But it is programming-default or a kind of standard, not interpreter and/or compiler default. Mops allows plural ways of message sending. But the way of binding is always explicit in code. Mops doesn t try to force programmers to take one certain way. It simply leaves many possibility to the programmers.It may be considered bad in the world of standard programming. But if they were true, Forth itself would be bad.Additionally we never confuse normal words with messages to invoke corresponding methodsin Mops code because they obey distinguishable syntax rules. Word and selector are different entities in NEON model, so they look different in Mops code. It is natural, I think. NEON OO model is said to be based on Smalltalk model.It is true that Smalltalk is too different from Forth since it is pure OO language. But we should be able to learn from Smalltalk (or other pure OO language) a natural and straightforward OO syntax-semantics correspondence, and think about its realization in Forth. From this point of view, NEON model has a excellent mesage sending appearance in my opinion. Moreover, advantages of NEON model are more in practical aspects of programming than in theoretical ones.This achivement is surely an evidence of Forth s tremendous expressive power since whole the OO construct has been written in Forth. Or you insist we should keep Forth pure? Well, but we never lose the pure Forth by adding OO constructs. Supplying NEON OO feature will never prevent us from programming in pure Forth.It is the strength of Forth we are referring to. You may need a simplicity. But there is no THE simplicity. Simple doesn t always mean short code.Fortunately, everything is already simple in Forth -- aren t you confused by your implicit suppositions?You may say "we should wipe it hour by hour and let no dust alight".But we will reply "it is always clean so where can the dust alight?"(Zen of Forth). Appendix a defect of some of Object-Method syntax (unfinished) My argument was(is) supposing PowerMops as a typical example of NEON OO model. And I treated only standard OO syntax of PowerMops. PowerMops has some OO related features that were not mentioned above.For example PowerMops allows also object-method(+class information) syntax for binding. We can select one way according to the situation. PowerMops class can have a method whose content may be different object-wise, and, when needed, can be changed dynamically. But this feature is achived by xt-variable functionality, which is already in standard Forth.That is, PowerMops solves this problem via instance variables, not inheritance. Since standard Forth already has the solution, NEON model doesn t need additional theoretically sophisticated late binding mechanism or other OO functionality to solve it. (I don t know what OO features Win32Forth has. But I think what features PowerMops has could be implemented in Win32Forth.) This article was written as a reaction agaist the claim "message-object syntax is bad or simply wrong". So, this article doesn t contain all features of PowerMops OO. I used an OO semantics to support message-object syntax. But I am not a Dogmatiker. I never insist that this semantics is one only theoretical foundation for PowerMops OO coding.I have never imagined that every PowerMops user should first be taken by this semantics to understand the OO code in PowerMops. My intention was simply that since one simple and understandable semantics can support message-object syntax, this syntax should have some reason. So I think that a claim "message-object syntax is bad or simply wrong" was shown to be baseless. I like PowerMops OO syntax by practical reason, not by dogmatical one. I have been thinking about philosophy to support PowerMops language including pure Forth part.But the motivation comes from experience of real coding on PowerMops.I have realized PowerMops is very powerful. Moreover PowerMops, which is optimizing native Forth compiler for PowerPC with OO feature based on NEON model, is wholly written in Mops.That means, PowerMops itself is an example software of NEON type OOP. And its syntax and semantics make communication with other programmers by codequite easy.I have been trying to undestand what in PowerMops language makes it so (in my opinion) great. I found Dogmatikers tend to hate NEON OO model, or even Forth ideas.Perhaps, because those ideas doesn t fit for their dogma.It is true, theory may help to simplfy the grammar of programming language. But excessive simplification could cause practical confusion. What I call practical reason to favour PowerMops, is the fact that what we are doing is clear from the code in PowerMops. Selectors have a bit different appearance from normal words.By that, we can easily realize whether certain part of the code is written in OO or in normal Forth. In all cases of OO coding, selector supposes object near by and may be followed by class name or certain token, which are context elements used to define appropriate method. (I tend to think such a combination of words as a "phrase", which is an extension of concept ‘word’.)The context is very local. It is consumed with one selector. (Well, now PowerMops has a syntax to extend the context in a case. But the ends of the context can be made clear in code.) Locality of information for interpretation of code is important factor for readble code. I realized that in some OO Forth using object-method syntax, object and method cannot be distinguished from normal Forth word in the names.And according to object-method synax theory, object (or class name) switches the contexts.Since we cannot see whether a word is an object or a normal forth word from its name,object can be said to cause implicit context change.Introducing implicit context change in a language is a really bad idea, I believe.OO system of such type will be, sooner or later, unable to live without some naming convention,such as, Begin Object name by a capital letter, etc.. But setting conventions will be too weak to avoid all possible problems coming from implicit context change. For example aFile dup may duplicate ‘aFile’ (File duplication when dup is a mothod of file). Or ‘aFile’ may do something and ‘dup’ duplicate a stack item. How could you know which is the case from this line?If you know aFile is an object and has a method ‘dup’, the definition of dup will be found in method implementation (definitioin). But the method operating code above doesn t contain the information. That is, introducing implicit context change may break the reliability of normal forth words in the meaning of the actions when reading code(especially when debugging the code other programmers wrote). In Reality, syntactical details are trivial. Implementing some features or flavors is also trivial in Forth based environment. Anything isn t very difficult to implement in Forth environment compared with some other languages. But I think confusing syntax should be avoided, even if that might be a result of exact mapping of OO to standard Forth syntax. Surely, good programmers could avoid all such troubles by some coding conventions or goood memory.Some may say, "I have no problem with that. So it is perfect."OK. I could believe it is true for you. But how about anyone other than you? Forth should be only for good programmers?But no one is born as a good programmer, andnot every person will begin programming as a good programmer. Such an elitism might kill the language. However I myself don t care about what floavors will be adopted as the future OO standard of Forth. Once the specification becomes clear, PowerMops surely can support it by an optional library. Top Page

The statement, submitted by the council s five permanent members and Japan, won unanimous support from its 15 members. The statement does not specify whether North Korea launched a missile or a satellite. Nevertheless, it condemns the April 5th launch, calling it a contravention of a 2006 Security Council resolution banning North Korea from ballistic missile activities. The statement demands that North Korea refrain from launching further rockets. It also says the Security Council s committee on sanctions will list groups that are subject to asset freezes by April 24th. (Susan Rice / U.S. Ambassador to UN) "And the United States is very pleased that the Council today issued a strong unanimous statement clearly and unequivocally condemning the launch."

To prepare for the rare moment, about 400 novice astronomers attended a seminar in Tokyo on Sunday. The event was organized by the Solar Eclipse Information Center. The lectures included advice on how to observe the eclipse without damaging eyesight . The seminar was so crowded that some people couldn t find seats, an indication of the high level of interest among the public . The total eclipse will be observed on July 22nd in some parts of Asia. In the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan, it will last more than 6 minutes ―the longest anywhere on the globe this century. A partial eclipse will be visible in other parts of the country. novice 初心者、素人 astronomers 天文学者 organize 主催する eyesight 視覚、視力 public 国民、一般 // 人々 total eclipse 皆既日食 partial eclipse 部分日食 日本で見ることができる皆既日食が46年ぶりに近づいています。 このめったにない瞬間に備えるため、およそ400人の天文ファンたちが日曜日に東京で開催されたセミナーに参加しました。 このイベントは、日食情報センターが主催したもので、勉強会では、目を痛めずに日食を観測する方法などが紹介されました。 セミナーには、立ち見が出るほど多くの人が集まり、関心の高さがうかがわれました。 皆既日食は7月22日、アジアの一部で観測されます。 日本の南部、鹿児島県のトカラ列島では、皆既日食が6分あまり ―今世紀、地球上で観測できる最長時間― 続きます。 部分日食は、国内のほかの地域でも見ることができます。 13 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090521 The leader of Japan s largest opposition Democratic Party , Ichiro Ozawa, has announced his intention to resign as party leader.

(Hillary Clinton / U.S. Secretary of State) "Our leadership in the area of arms control and non-proliferation is of such profound global concern that that is at the top of the list." U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met in Washington on Thursday. Clinton said the two countries agreed to promote arms reduction talks. The 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START 1, expires at the end of this year. Foreign Minister Lavrov said he agrees with Clinton, and (that) the talks are important in laying the groundwork for a July summit between Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama in Moscow. But Lavrov added (that) the two countries should also discuss Russian concerns over a U.S. missile defense deployment in Europe. non-proliferation (核兵器などの)拡散防止、不拡散 profound 重大な promote 促進する groundwork 基礎、土台 deployment 配備 アメリカとロシア両国が、新たな核軍縮条約のための交渉を加速させることで一致しました。 (ヒラリー・クリントン米国務長官) 核兵器の管理と拡散防止の分野で我々両国がリーダーシップを発揮することは、世界的な関心事であり、最重要事項なのです。 ヒラリー・クリントン米国務長官とロシアのセルゲイ・ラブロフ外務大臣は、木曜日、ワシントンで会談しました。クリントン長官は両国が(核)軍縮のための交渉を促進することで一致したと述べました。 1991年の第1次戦略兵器削減条約(START1)は、今年の末に効力を失います。 ラブロフ外相は、クリントン長官と合意し、7月にモスクワで行われるロシアのディミトリ・メドベージェフ大統領とバラク・オバマ米大統領の首脳会談に向けての下準備として、(新たな)核軍縮条約制定のための両国の交渉が重要であると述べました。 その一方で、ラブロフ外相は、ヨーロッパにおけるアメリカのミサイル防衛計画に関するロシアの懸念についても両国で討議すべきであると付け加えました。 15 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090525 Astronauts on the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis, on a mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope , have successfully pulled off the most difficult part of their job. Two astronauts went on the mission s third spacewalk on Saturday to replace faulty computer circuit boards in the Hubble s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The camera had been impaired since 2007, when its electronics shorted out . The spacewalkers carefully opened 36 tiny screws on the camera, and took out the circuit boards. Special tools had to be developed for the repair work, as the advanced camera was never meant to be repaired in space. The Atlantis team will install a new spectrograph on the space telescope, which is expected to involve another round of intricate work. spacewalk 宇宙遊泳、船外活動 faulty 欠陥のある、故障した impaired (十分に)機能を果たさない、(機能などが)損なわれた shorted out (電気が)ショートする screws ネジ spectrograph 分光器 intricate 複雑な、入り組んだ 「ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡」の補修作業に就いている米スペースシャトル「アトランティス」の宇宙飛行士は、今回の作業で最も難しい工程を行い成功させました。 2人の宇宙飛行士は、土曜日に3回目となる船外活動を行い、ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡に取り付けられたACS(掃天観測用高性能カメラ)の故障したコンピューター回路基板を交換しました。 2007年以降、このカメラは電子系統の異常により十分に機能していませんでした。 船外活動を行う宇宙飛行士は、カメラの小さいネジ36本を慎重に抜いてゆき、回路基板を取り出しました。ACSは宇宙空間での修理を想定した構造になっておらず、今回、特別な工具が補修作業用に開発されたということです。 今後、スペースシャトル「アトランティス」のチームは、ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡の分光器の修理作業に入る予定で、再度、複雑な作業に取り組むこととなります。 16 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090526 Japanese Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone has urged Myanmar s military government to ensure that Aung San Suu Kyi is treated humanely .

Tsukuba University of Technology is the only higher education institute in the country designed for the disabled. It opened in Tsukuba city, north of Tokyo, as a two-year college and later became a four-year university in 2005. With the institution about to award its first bachelor s degrees next March, it has decided to add a graduate school offering two master s programs. One will be for the study of health sciences such as physical therapy, and the other will be in industrial technologies such as mechanical or electronic engineering. The institution will apply for government approval this month. If granted, it would be the world s third graduate school for the disabled. designed for ~向けである physical therapy 理学療法 grant (権利、許可などを)与える 耳や目が不自由な人が学ぶ大学が、日本で初めてとなる障害者のための大学院を設置する見込みです。 筑波技術大学は、国内で唯一の障害者のための高等教育機関で、つくば市に2年制の大学として開校し、2005年に4年制の大学になりました。この大学では、一期生が来年3月に卒業するのにあわせて、新たに大学院を設置し2つの修士課程を設けることを決めました。ひとつは理学療法などを学ぶ保健科学専攻で、もうひとつは機械工学や電子工学などを学ぶ産業技術専攻です。 大学側は、今月中にも政府に認可の申請をする予定で、認められれば、世界で3校目の障害者専門の大学院となります。 18 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090528 Japan s lay judge system, allowing ordinary citizens to serve as judges in criminal court trials, comes into effect on Thursday. The nation s first trial using the new system is expected to begin as early as late July. Under the system, six citizens are selected randomly from people aged 20 or older to sit on criminal cases. They will decide with three judges whether the accused is guilty, and how much punishment should be handed down. The judicial system will be applied to murder, robbery and other criminal cases. The courts will begin summoning lay judges in July. Prime Minister Taro Aso on Wednesday told reporters that the new system has some unknown areas, but he hopes to see good results. However, 60 percent of respondents to an NHK survey conducted in May called the system unnecessary, and more than 70 percent said they would be reluctant to take part in jury duty. lay judge system 裁判員制度 // lay (聖職者に対して)普通の人 criminal 刑事上の comes into effect 実施される trial 裁判、公判、審理 // 頻度的にはこの意味で用いられることが多い the accused 被告人 handed down (判決などを)言い渡す judicial 裁判の、司法の summoning 召喚する reluctant 嫌がる、気が進まない jury duty 陪審員としての努め 一般の人が刑事事件の裁判員として加わる、日本の裁判員制度が木曜日に始まりました。新制度による最初の裁判は、早ければ7月下旬に開かれる見込みです。 この制度では、20歳以上の国民から無作為に選ばれた6人が3人の裁判官とともに刑事事件を審理し、被告の有罪・無罪や量刑を判断することになります。この司法制度は、殺人、強盗などの刑事事件を対象とするもので、7月には裁判員の召喚が始まる見込みです。 水曜日に麻生太郎総理大臣は記者団に対し、新制度にはやってみなければわからない部分があるのは確かだが、効果が出てくることを期待している、と語りました。 一方NHKが5月に行った世論調査では、回答者の60%がこの制度は必要ないと答え、70%を超える人が裁判員に参加したくないと回答しています。 19 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090529 A load of reprocessed nuclear fuel has arrived in Japan from France. The fuel is scheduled to be used at three nuclear power plants. A ship carrying the mixed oxide fuel docked at Chubu Electric Power Company s wharf in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan, on Monday morning amid protests by a civic group. A large crane was used to move three containers carrying the fuel from the ship to trailers. The fuel will be transported to Chubu Electric s Hamaoka nuclear power plant. Japan had planned to begin using a mixture of uranium and plutonium extracted from spent nuclear fuel at its nuclear power plants in 1999. But it shelved the plan after revelations that data on the fuel had been falsified. If preparations proceed smoothly, one of Kyushu Electric Power Company s nuclear reactors in Saga Prefecture will be the country s first to use the recycled fuel. load 積荷 wharf ふ頭 container コンテナ transport 輸送する shelve 棚上げする、延期する revelation 明らかにすること、暴露 falsify 改ざんする、ねつ造する 再処理された核燃料がフランスから日本に到着しました。この燃料は、国内の3つの原子力発電所で使用される予定です。プルサーマル用のプルトニウム・ウラン混合酸化物(MOX)燃料を積んだ船は、市民グループによる抗議の中、月曜日の朝に静岡県の中部電力の専用ふ頭に接岸しました。燃料が入った3つのコンテナは大型クレーンで輸送船からトレーラーに移され、中部電力の浜岡原発に輸送されることになっています。日本では使用済み核燃料から取り出したプルトニウムとウランの混合物の再利用を1999年からはじめる予定でしたが、燃料のデータが改ざんされていたことがわかったため、計画は棚上げになっていました。準備が順調に進めば、佐賀県にある九州電力の原子炉の1つで再利用燃料が国内で初めて使われることになります。 20 http //cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/news/index.cgi?ymd=20090601 A satellite developed by a group of small companies in Osaka, western Japan, has succeeded in taking a picture of itself in orbit around the earth. The latest photograph shows the satellite and the blue-colored earth in the background. The image was received from the satellite on May 12th. Logos of the companies and universities that developed the satellite are also visible. Maido Number 1 was launched in January and has been orbiting about 660 kilometers above the earth s surface. It has been observing lightning and testing a sensor to determine the position of the sun.
