Outline of the case
In a case in which an employee of a foreign-affiliated company filed a lawsuit against the company demanding confirmation of the invalidity of his dismissal, we represented the company (our client) in pursuing the lawsuit and reached a settlement by paying a settlement amount equivalent to about three months of his previous average monthly salary. The case was resolved quickly and without much burden to the company, and was judged to be a favorable settlement.
In many cases, foreign-affiliated companies have employment contracts written in English and clearly stipulate in the employment contract that the governing law is the law of a particular state in the U.S. (e.g., the law of the State of New York). Since the laws of many states in the U.S., such as New York, do not have provisions restricting dismissals as in Japan, the validity of the dismissal itself will no longer be disputed if New York State law is applied. Therefore, from the company’s standpoint, it would like the laws of the U.S. states to be applied based on the contract. However, under the General Rules for the Application of Laws, while the parties may choose the governing law by agreement (Article 7 of the General Rules), if the worker indicates to the employer that a specific mandatory provision in the law of the place most closely related to the labor contract in question should be applied, that mandatory provision will also be applied (Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the General Rules Law). When labor issue is applied in Japan, Japanese law is considered to be the law of the place most closely related to the labor contract (Article 12, paragraph 2 of the General Principal Law), in this case, the Japanese labor law is applied even if there is an agreement that the law of a particular state in the U.S. is the governing law. In this case, we have decided to quit disputing the governing law and focus our arguments on the validity of the dismissal based on Japanese labor law.
In the English employment contract, the parties agreed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York. Therefore, as long as the terms of the employment contract apply, the plaintiff’s (the employee’s) lawsuit will be dismissed for breach of jurisdiction, and the plaintiff will have to file a new lawsuit in a New York court. Therefore, whether or not the jurisdiction of the Japanese court is recognized is an extremely important factor in determining whether or not a Japanese court has jurisdiction over the case. The law says that if the place of provision of labor services is in Japan, the action may be filed in a Japanese court (Article 3-4, Paragraph 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure). In this case, there was a clear agreement in the employment contract regarding the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, but we did not dare to argue about the breach of jurisdiction, based on our judgment that it would be difficult to dispute the jurisdiction of Japan where the Japanese employee was actually engaged in labor. As for the acquisition of jurisdiction, in addition to the agreed jurisdiction, there is also a counterclaim jurisdiction. If the company pleads without making a claim of dismissal due to the difference in jurisdiction (defense of counterclaim), the jurisdiction will arise due to the counterclaim jurisdiction. If there is a possibility of a jurisdictional dispute, the company as a defendant must make a preliminary allegation of jurisdictional dispute before admitting or denying the plaintiff’s allegations.
When a foreign parent company contracts directly
In this case, the Japanese company of the foreign company was the counterparty to the employment contract. If the U.S. company is a party to the employment contract and has no subsidiary in Japan, the question is whether the U.S. company can be sued in a Japanese court. In conclusion, since the Japanese legal system protects workers, the Japanese jurisdiction will be recognized by applying the Civil Procedure Law. When suing an American company in a Japanese court, service of process must be made by consular service conducted through the Japanese Embassy (Japanese Consulate) in the United States.
Translation of English contracts
If there is an employment contract in the case where the validity of termination is to be judged, said employment contract is an important piece of evidence. The plaintiff must submit that evidence to the court, but since the Japanese court will not accept the evidence in English as it is, it is necessary to translate it into Japanese and attach a certificate of translation. The proof of translation is sufficient if a Japanese lawyer places a document at the end of the translation confirming that it is a genuine translation and affixes his/her seal. The obligation to translate lies with the plaintiff. However, if the contract is long and the translation is burdensome, an abridged translation will often be treated as sufficient. This point should be confirmed with the court. However, as an attorney, it is preferable to translate the entire contract as much as possible, even if an abstract translation is sufficient, because without understanding the contract as a whole, it is possible to overlook provisions that are favorable or unfavorable to the client.
Validity of termination of employment
Article 16 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that “a dismissal shall be invalid as an abuse of rights if it lacks objectively reasonable grounds and is not considered reasonable under socially accepted conventions. Therefore, the grounds for judgment are (1) whether or not the dismissal is objectively reasonable and (2) whether or not it is reasonable under socially accepted norms. In addition, even in the case of disciplinary dismissal, Article 15 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that the dismissal is to be judged under almost the same conditions. We conducted a hearing with the representative of the Japanese corporation (an American) and prepared a written statement in English and Japanese. We were also able to provide the court with a statement of the plaintiff’s extremely poor skills in software development despite the fact that it is an IT company, as well as a number of disruptive acts of cooperation within the company, which were compiled into a statement through testimony from a number of employees. All of the statements were interviewed by the relevant parties and then written by our firm, which required a considerable amount of effort in the preparation of the statements.
The court approached the parties to settle the case, and both parties submitted settlement offers for the court to adjust. In this case, the judge strongly recommended settlement to the representatives of both sides (trial for recommendation of settlement). Since the plaintiff and defendant confer separately with the judge on the settlement date, we do not know what the judge said to the plaintiff’s counsel, but we suspect that the detailed factual explanation of the problems with the plaintiff’s job performance may have helped the plaintiff to be persuaded by the judge.

Easy app for FODMAPs
Monash University has launched an app for the iPad and iPhone that helps patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to accurately judge foods that are high in certain nutrients known to be poorly absorbed by the digestive tract.
Monash University's Department of Gastroenterology has led the world in research into a family of carbohydrates called FODMAPs – fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols – that seem to trigger IBS symptoms.
The university has over the years created a formidable database of knowledge on FODMAP content of foods and has also created a special diet for patients with IBS to help them reduce or avoid foods high in these sugars, called the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet.
While the database is a wonderful resource for researchers, consumers and health professionals don't have easy access to the information. Now, the FODMAP research team – led by Monash's director of gastroenterology, Professor Peter Gibson, and Dr Jane Muir, head of translational nutrition science – has developed an easy to use app to help consumers and healthcare professionals to monitor food intake.
Monash dietitian Dr Jaci Barrett said the team had published medical papers over the years listing the levels of FODMAPs, but they aren't very accessible to the general public.
“Health professionals also don't know where to look for them,” Dr Barrett said. “We were looking for another way to get the information out there and share it in a user friendly manner.”
“That's when we started thinking about some sort of electronic way of sharing the information, leading to the iPhone app.”
FODMAPs are predominantly found in certain fruits and some vegetables, particularly onions and garlic, and in wheat and rye products. Monash University has its own laboratory to test different foods for their FODMAP levels, which Dr Barrett said was not undertaken elsewhere.
“There are international researchers and dietitians who have been interested in our work who send us food from their country to analyse, so there is a lot of interest out there,” she said. “We are gradually expanding our understanding of the levels of these carbohydrates in foods around the world.”
The app uses a traffic light system to show which foods – and how much of it – are high in FODMAPs. Health professionals can also use it if they are caring for an IBS patient on the diet.
“Instead of giving people the actual quantity of FODMAPs in foods we've adapted it into a low (green), moderate (orange) and high (red) traffic light system so people can easily glance at the foods on the list and know whether they are suitable or not,” Dr Barrett said.
“We've given a bit more detail because previous food lists have said 'these foods are high and must be avoided', but we've incorporated a lot more detail into the app. A certain food might be high in FODMAPs, but if they actually eat a small serve of it, they may get away with it without significant IBS symptoms.
“For example, a food may be labelled red if you eat a whole serve, but it's actually orange if you only have a third. Therefore if you love that food, you can try a small amount and it may not cause you symptoms. We don't like overly restricting people's diets so any extra information that helps people expand their diet will help.”
The app also includes a number of recipes and menus, created by a research chef who works with the university.
Dr Barrett said an extra feature had been added for consumers who have a particularly good understanding of what their level of tolerance is with their diet. “If they have worked with a dietitian and know what their sensitivities are, they can filter the settings on the food list,” she said.
“There are five different types of FODMAP sugars and some people might have a major symptom to one of them and tolerate the rest, so they can go into the filter options and adapt it, which adapts the food list for their specific individual needs.
“When it comes to the food lists the patients will be able to use it on their own, but we don't want people being on this diet strictly for a long time. A lot of these foods are really good for us, so I think that encouragement and guidance through a health professional that also understands the app and can use it with them is a really important part of the whole system.”
The app was created by James Eunson, a Monash computer science graduate who is currently working on an Android version.
Dr Barrett has also recently launched an online tool for researchers and dietitians to measure food frequency and adequacy. Devised as part of her PhD, the Food Frequency Questionnaire was developed and validated in 2009, and has just been launched online at www.cnaq.com.au.
Renamed the Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment Questionnaire (CNAQ), the tool is a series of questions that can be given to patients or research participants to fill out.
“We can analyse it and it gives us a snapshot of their normal dietary habits and their adequacy – whether they get enough energy, proteins and vitamins etc – and we obviously put FODMAPs into it, because that was our particular interest,” she said.
“We had a lot of people interested in knowing how to use it and in paper form it was a nightmare. We had an external IT group produce it as an online tool. Users can be researchers or health professionals or the general public who wants to fill out one copy of it; it can be used by anybody.
“We set each new user up with an account with a secure username and password that is emailed to them and they can go in and set up their participation, whether it is for research or just fill in the questionnaire themselves.”
The team has built in the database of FODMAPs and all other nutrients so it automatically calculates the nutrient profile from the answers to the questionnaire, and then exports the results immediately into Excel.
“For researchers who do a lot of dietary analysis this is going to save a lot of time. It's a nice easy way of doing dietary research and hopefully we can use it on a worldwide scale, use it for thousands of people and get really interesting information about dietary habits.”
Dietitians can use it when they are unsure of a patient's nutritional adequacies, she said. “Dietitians can order 10 of them through us and set up their patients on the system. That would then give them a nice easy way of snapshotting the nutritional profile of their diet.
“We could also even use it for compliance, so if you were potentially educating them on dietary change – it doesn't even have to be for IBS, it might be diabetes – you can get them to complete the CNAQ, educate them on dietary change and then in six months get them to repeat the questionnaire to see if their intake of certain nutritional components has changed; for example saturated fat, sugar, carbohydrate or glycaemic index.”The FODMAP app is available from the iTunes store.

Colombian Mercenaries Suspected in Haiti Assassination Have US Military Ties
During a Thursday press conference, President Joe Biden said that he will send Marines to reinforce the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. However, there are no plans “at this moment” to send additional US military personnel to the Caribbean island nation, despite a request from Haiti’s government for a US troop deployment following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise earlier this month.
Biden’s remarks come as the Department of Defense announced that some of the members of the Colombian hit squad implicated in the assassination of Moise had US military training.
“A review of our training databases indicates that a small number of the Colombian individuals detained as part of this investigation had participated in past U.S. military training and education programs, while serving as active members of the Colombian Military Forces,” Lt. Col. Ken Hoffman, a Pentagon spokesman, told The Washington Post. Hoffman declined to elaborate on a specific number and added that the Pentagon’s review was ongoing.
The Associated Press reported earlier this month that 13 of the 15 Colombians implicated in the assassination were former members of the Colombian armed forces. The former Colombian soldiers ranked as high as lieutenant colonel and left the Colombian military between 2018 and 2020.
“The recruitment of Colombian soldiers to go to other parts of the world as mercenaries is an issue that has existed for a long time, because there is no law that prohibits it,” the commander of Colombia’s armed forces, Gen. Luis Fernando Navarro, told Reuters last week.
Locked in a struggle with heavily armed drug cartels and militants such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, Colombia has been in a state of de facto civil war for several decades. The combat experience acquired by government forces after decades of conflict, combined with poor economic conditions, has created a fertile recruiting ground for hardened mercenaries.
As far back as 2015, large numbers of Colombians were fighting in Yemen for hire. According to The New York Times, nations such as the United Arab Emirates value Colombian mercenaries for their combat prowess and affordability. Colombians fighting on behalf of the United Arab Emirates in Yemen received salaries upwards of $4,000 a month, 10 times what the mercenaries would make in Colombia.
“These great offers, with good salaries and insurance, got the attention of our best soldiers,” said Jaime Ruiz, then president of Colombia’s Association of Retired Armed Forces Officials, told The New York Times.
US training for those who killed Moise is probably coincidental due to the relationship that the US military has with the Colombian armed forces. According to The Washington Post, Colombia has received billions of dollars in military aid since 2000. However, recently discovered connections to a US private security firm further complicate the already murky situation.
According to the AP, Miami-based CTU Security used its company credit card to purchase 19 plane tickets from Bogota, Colombia, to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Those tickets went to the Colombian suspects in the assassination of Moise.
A former Colombian soldier turned lawyer, Nelson Romero Velasquez, who is advising 16 families of the Colombians held in Haiti, said that the men had all served in the Colombian military’s elite special forces. Romero Velasquez told the AP that the arrestees’ behavior did not suggest they were in Haiti as part of an assassination plot. Notably, they had the necessary training to operate without detection.
“They have the ability to be like shadows,” Romero Velasquez told the AP.
Richard Noriega, who runs International Security Consulting in Miami, similarly questioned why such a highly trained group of ex-Colombian soldiers would not have an escape plan if they knew they were being sent to assassinate the president of Haiti. Instead, many of them were found hiding in bushes by local residents and police forces.
“It is very murky,” Noriega told the AP.

The PGA Tour continued this weekend with the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Things were set up for a competitive Sunday round.
Brendon Todd entered the day with a 2-stroke lead over Dustin Johnson, but that quickly went away. Todd had an even front nine, then went 5 over par on the back. He dropped, ending up finishing tied for 11th.
Dustin Johnson stayed the course and finished with a final round of 67 (-3), which was good enough to win the tournament. He was -19 for the weekend, just a 1-stroke victory over Kevin Streelman who was at -18.
“I’ve had a few missed cuts, so to come back and finish a solo second is nice. But to be that close and perform and be right there, I’m just a little disappointed right now,” Streelman said.
But the weekend went to Dustin Johnson. He secured his 13th straight season with a win on the tour. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus both won 17 consecutive years, so he will be chasing that number.
“I’m definitely proud of myself for continuing the streak, and I want to keep it going,” Johnson said. “It was a long time between wins, though, and so hopefully it won’t be that long for the next one.”
Johnson was able to get out of trouble several times, including one shot that was inches from the water hazard. This win ended one of his longer droughts since being on tour but, nevertheless, he managed to win his 21st PGA Tour title. This will be good for momentum as they enter a stretch with many majors to play.
Phil and Rory
Phil Mickelson had a strong first two days, shooting a 64 on Thursday and 63 on Friday. However, he didn’t carry that play into the weekend. He finished shooting a 71 on each of the last two days.
This was Mickelson’s first golf tournament since turning 50-years-old.
“I’m looking at this week as progress,” he said. “Certainly, the goal is to win golf tournaments, but keep in mind I’ve missed a bunch of cuts. I haven’t played to the level I’ve wanted to, and this week I came in and had a lot of great finds. I hit a lot of good shots, hit a lot of good tee shots. My misses were much better.”
The top-ranked golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy, stayed in contention most of the week, finishing tied for 11th at -13. He was coming in at -15 but ended up with a double bogey on the 17th hole.
There were some issues this weekend with coronavirus that the PGA had to handle. Seven players had to withdraw for positive COVID-19 tests.
Since some of those players were on the course before testing positive, there are going to be some changes made to the protocols. Players, caddies, and other essential personnel will have to test negative before entering the grounds of the golf club.
These new rules will begin this upcoming weekend in Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

89 UN Staff Members Killed in Gaza in Israeli Attacks to Date
UNITED NATIONS, 13 Nov 2023
UNRWA is the lead UN agency operating in the Gaza Strip, where its schools are currently hosting nearly 725,000 displaced Palestinians.
7 Nov 2023 – The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said today that 89 UN aid workers have been killed since the latest round of Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on 7 Oct.
The aid agency’s latest situation report notes that this is the highest number of UN employees killed in a conflict in UN history.
The UN office in Geneva paid tribute to UNRWA employees killed in Gaza in the indiscriminate and intensified attacks by Israeli forces.
UN officials and staff observed a minute’s silence to remember them, a moment that UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) spokesman Jens Laerke called “a solemn and deeply sad moment at UN Geneva today, in honor of our UNRWA colleagues killed in Gaza.”
— Jens Laerke (@JensLaerke) November 7, 2023
UNRWA is the lead UN agency operating in the Gaza Strip, where its schools are currently hosting nearly 725,000 displaced Palestinians seeking refuge from relentless Israeli attacks.
Some 149 UNRWA facilities are serving as shelters in Gaza’s five governorates, including the north, at a time when at least 10,328 Palestinians, including 4,237 children and 2,719 women, have been killed.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, overcrowding in UN facilities in Gaza remains a major concern. At the Khan Younis Training Center, where 22,000 displaced persons were sheltered, the space per person is less than two square meters, and there is one toilet for every 600 people.
These extremely difficult conditions are in addition to the constant Israeli attacks directly targeting UNRWA facilities. In the last 24 hours, a UNRWA school in northern Gaza was directly hit by the attacks. One person was killed and nine were injured among internally displaced persons sheltering in the school.

That is to say that The Buried Giant is is a fantasy novel in much the same sort of way that Never Let Me Go was a sci-fi yarn... Ishiguro is in full genre-occupying mode here, settling an imaginative region, capturing its tropes and conditions, and establishing within it his own peculiar sovereignty ... The story he tells here is set in a mythical early-Medieval England, in the years after the death of King Arthur ...are addressed, with an intriguing combination of distance and familiarity, by an omniscient narrator...clothes itself in the armor of chivalric romance and fantasy, it is also subtly using these formal structures to subvert from within the kinds of national mythologies that are so often built around them ... But it builds, in its final third, toward what might be described as a devastating anti-climax—the sort of conclusion you don’t realize you’ve been expecting all along until you’ve encountered it.
In The Buried Giant, his seventh and latest, he begins with clear, unhurried, unfussy language to describe the England of some 1,500 years ago, in a novel as well crafted as it is odd ...is a melancholy book, and the mist that breathes through it is a melancholic mist. The narrative tone is dreamlike and measured. There are adventures, sword fights, betrayals, armies, cunning stratagems and monsters killed, but these things are told distantly, without the book’s pulse ever beating faster ... At the heart of the novel is a philosophical conundrum, expressed first by an old woman whose husband has gone on before her, crossing the bar, as it were, to a mystical island to which she has not been allowed ... Still, The Buried Giant does what important books do: It remains in the mind long after it has been read, refusing to leave, forcing one to turn it over and over.
...so we come to The Buried Giant, a spectacular, rousing departure from anything Ishiguro has ever written, and yet a classic Ishiguro story. Set in the misty bogs and moors of England in A.D. 450, not long after the death of King Arthur, the novel is a daring venture into a medieval wilderness of monsters, pixies, dragons, wizards, aging knights and sword-swinging, sanguinary warriors ... has the clear ring of legend, as graceful, original and humane as anything Ishiguro has written. By the end of it, we are made to see that a dark grain can enter our collective bloodstream and poison it with a baffling hate ...Ishiguro seems to say, some things are best forgotten: Betrayals in a long-suffering marriage can be as devastating as the human impulse to war.
Unfortunately, Ishiguro’s new novel, The Buried Giant, does not generate the kind of pressure that might wring shadows from the bemusing transparency of its narration ... He has written not a novel about historical amnesia but an allegory of historical amnesia, set in a sixth- or seventh-century Britain, amok with dragons, ogres, and Arthurian knights. The problem is not fantasy but allegory, which exists to literalize and simplify. The giant is not buried deeply enough ...has far too much dialogue like this, more Monty Python than William Golding...points everywhere but at us, because its fictional setting is feeble, mythically remote, generic, and pressureless; and because its allegory manages somehow to be at once too literal and too vague—a magic rare but unwelcome.
This is an interesting but problematic passage, suggesting the potential of The Buried Giant and also the failings it cannot, finally, overcome ...there's the tone of exposition, of a story explicated rather than told. Certainly, The Buried Giant requires explanation, its world so different from the one we occupy. At the same time, this leaves the narrative at a peculiar distance, one Ishiguro never overcomes ... On the one hand, he remains, as he has often been, compelled by questions of love, commitment, deception — a deception that is not always external but also grows within ...involves people with no real sense of their own past wandering through a landscape with no real sense of its own past, with consequences that don't seem dire or dangerous enough, which means that nothing, really, is at stake ...is not to say that the book lacks anything to merit our attention.
...the way that a single person remembers and forgets is not the same as the way a nation does, and what one wants to remember can also be what the other needs to forget. This is the conflict that lies at the heart of The Buried Giant ... Ishiguro never explicitly tells us what period we are in, and the resulting vagueness shrouds the story in myth ...actually feels very modern — despite all its talk of ogres, warriors, and dragons. It reprises the same themes Ishiguro has dealt with his entire career: deeply flawed people grappling with dueling impulses and loyalties — to their ideals, identities, and nations ... The writing is at times lush and thrilling, rolling the gothic, fantastical, political, and philosophical into one ... The Buried Giant may feel very different from Ishiguro’s previous works, but the concerns that lie at its heart have preoccupied him his entire career.
Which is all a way of saying, I suppose, that it's worth paying serious attention to The Buried Giant, Ishiguro's first novel in 10 years. That's not an easy thing; this one's an odd one ... Taken on its own, the story is unpersuasive. Of course, it's allegory, a mode in which Ishiguro has never worked so definitely... it's not his strongest subject, and as a result The Buried Giant isn't his strongest work. Its action is too pointedly moralistic, and the author's unique, weightless prose is more effective when he's dealing in personal rather than in civic memory ... Effortlessly, almost incidentally, the conversation creates an entire field of unspoken meaning, illuminating the kind of elusive truths about love, time, death and memory that other novelists have to strain even to brush.
In the past, he focused on individual experiences, but now he wanted to look at the behavior of societies as a whole. Specifically, he was interested in memory, and the role that collective remembering and forgetting plays in the ways societies recover after catastrophes ...The Buried Giant is set in a misty, primordial England populated by feuding Saxons and Britons and haunted by traces of a great age just gone by: the ruins of the collapsing Roman Empire and the shadow of the late King Arthur... If at first Ishiguro's language sounds flat and unadorned, it's that very flatness that makes you wonder what's buried underneath. It's a voice he found before he ever started writing, back when he was still a singer-songwriter.
How you respond to Kazuo Ishiguro’s new novel may depend on how well you handle sentences like 'We hear the she-dragon Querig roams that country, and only fools would be abroad there in the dark' ... The Buried Giant is set in Britain not long after the death of King Arthur — and along with the dragon, it features ogres, 'savage pixies,' a cranky and elderly Sir Gawain and a strange memory-erasing mist ... One monk they encounter raises an issue that seems to be at the heart of the book: 'Is it not better some things remain hidden from our minds?' By the time that question is asked, readers may be wondering what on Earth Ishiguro is up to ... The trouble with his use of fantasy in The Buried Giant is that it dissolves the whole moral compass of the book.
Kazuo Ishiguro’s long-awaited The Buried Giant, his first novel in ten years, is set in a mythologized fifth-century Britain in which pixies, dragons, and ogres live alongside humans ... Fantasy or not, at the heart of The Buried Giant is a love story, even though the main characters, Axl and his wife Beatrice, are not your typical lovers in fiction ...is its ability to make readers empathize with the weary couple’s urgency to locate their son and lost memories ...a heartwarming and heartbreaking love story in equal measures ... Despite the mist of forgetfulness, relentless and omnipresent, the elderly couple hold on to fragments of their past and are determined to restore more of their lost treasured memories. Theirs is a love story that triumphs over memory loss, old age, and dragon’s breath. Theirs is a story of hope, even though the ending of the book is left ambiguous.
It's that shadowy state of knowing, but mostly living as though we don't know about all these looming terrors that Kazuo Ishiguro captures in his latest novel, The Buried Giant ... In The Buried Giant, an exhausted group of medieval travelers cross a blasted landscape straight out of the plays and novels of Samuel Beckett ...Ishiguro quests after far more profound mysteries here than the location of that dragon ... This is yet another radiant and deeply moving Ishiguro riff on loss and the tragic nature of life. It'd pay at the tribute of saying that as a novel, it's unforgettable.
Veteran readers of Ishiguro therefore will approach The Buried Giant, his first novel in a decade, in a spirit of deep precaution ... It is hard to shake the sense that Ishiguro is up to his old tricks: one expects the ogres to be revealed as members of a rival village, the dragon to be some kind of a communal delusion, and Merlin to be a crackpot ...he is just as interested in collective memory. What does a society choose to remember? ... For all its dragon-slaying and swashbuckling, The Buried Giant is ultimately a story about long love and making terms with oblivion. It is an eerie hybrid: a children’s fable about old age. In Ishiguro’s novel, as in life, love conquers all—all, that is, but death.
We are in a weird world indeed, not just because it is populated by ogres, sprites, demons and dragons, but also because Ishiguro puts a fog over the narrative, littering it with elisions, false turns and feints that make us doubt what we have read ... The dialogue is uniformly archaic, leaden almost ('I wish it right enough, sir,' etc), as if a distinctive voice would itself be anachronistic ... That may be too specific, but the book can be applied to our own times. It turns out that the collective amnesia of the dragon’s breath may have a more benign purpose than we first thought.
Even so, The Buried Giant, his first novel in 10 years, is likely to surprise with its fantastical events and setting...the mistiness that clouds the minds of the British characters may suggest symbolic interpretations, yet without demanding them ...it’s hard for a 21st century author to work with fantasy without being exposed to charges of delving the mines of allegory or wandering in the clouds of mysticism. The obverse of these charges seems to be what Mr. Ishiguro has achieved ... Readers may admire this novel; many indeed will feel that its oddity demands a second or third reading. With or without such revisiting, it is a novel that solicits respect rather than love, and is likely to garner admiration for its prose and its ambition rather than affection for the experience it delivers.
In Giant, Ishiguro explores love that lasts – but at what cost? ...narrative is seemingly straightforward: An older couple embarks on a journey to reunite with their estranged son whom they have not seen in many years ... It covers just four days and three nights – and yet lifetimes of myth, allegory, and epic discoveries are contained within ...Ishiguro nimbly plays with both content and form. He imbues his leading man and woman with much more than just simple appellations... The changing viewpoints underscore the mutability of memories, and hint at the unreliability of storytelling ... Ishiguro’s 10-year investment comes to eloquent fruition here. The result is a provocative, multilayered mosaic.
...The Buried Giant (four stars out of four), Ishiguro's first novel in a decade, is an engrossing narrative, implacable in its exploration of the same thematic territory (memory, guilt, love and war) that has always preoccupied him ...a fable for modern times set in the ancient past ...are complicated by a kind of mass amnesia that has settled on the land like a fog, robbing its inhabitants of all but the most recent of memories ...Ishiguro invests his tale with almost unbearable metaphoric weight. We long to remember the past, but if forgetting is a burden, it can also be a mercy... It's one of the deftest bits of sleight-of-hand in recent fiction, a literary tour de force so unassuming that you don't realize until the last page that you're reading a masterpiece.
Ishiguro's new novel is set in Arthurian England — not the mythic land of knights, castles, and pageants most of us are familiar with, but a primitive and rural country likely far closer to historical reality ... It's a sad, elegiac story, one that has a tone and texture suited to its subject matter: a dreamy journey, repetitive and searching as lost memory.
There be giants buried beneath the earth — and also the ancient kings of Britain, Arthur among them. Ishiguro’s tale opens not on such a declaration but instead on a hushed tone; an old man has been remembering days gone by, and the images he conjures, punctuated by visions of a woman with flowing red hair, may be truthful or a troubling dream ... The premise of a nation made up of amnesiac people longing for meaning is beguiling, and while it opens itself to heavy-handed treatment, Ishiguro is a master of subtlety; as with Never Let Me Go, he allows a detail to slip out here, another there, until we are finally aware of the facts of the matter, horrible though they may be ...a fairy tale for grown-ups, both partaking in and departing from a rich literary tradition.

Google is working on a service that will enable users to log into accounts just by tapping on their smartphones, eliminating the need to key in hard-to-remember passwords. The internet giant has started sending out invites to select users to test the feature.
A Google spokesperson told VentureBeat: "We've invited a small group of users to help test a new way to sign-in to their Google accounts, no password required. 'Pizza', 'password', and '123456' — your days are numbered."
The no-password feature is still in testing stages and believed to allows users to log into their accounts using their smartphones. When logging in from a new location, like a friend's laptop or a hotel PC, instead of inputting a password, the feature will apparently prompt users by pinging their smartphones. The notification, once addressed, will act as an identity confirmation, allowing users access to their accounts on unfamiliar systems.
Google's planned feature was discovered by a reddit user, Rohit Paul, who was among the few to receive an invite from Google to test the new feature. In his reddit account, Paul wrote: "You authorize your phone to allow you to log into your account.You go into a computer and type in your email. Then you get a message on your phone to allow the login. If you hit yes, the computer logs into your Google account without a password."
He also included screenshots of the procedure, which shows the prompts Google provides before allowing access to user accounts. Two of Paul's screenshots are displayed below:
Google declared that this feature would be made available to both Android and iOS users. However, users will be allowed the option to retain the more traditional method of logging in via a password. The tech giant claims that the new feature will give it a much-needed edge in the fight against phishing.
Earlier this year, Google introduced the Chrome extension "password alert" that reportedly warns users about malicious websites attempting to imitate Google accounts in a bid to steal sensitive information. In October, Yahoo rolled out a similar password-free login feature.

Chandigarh has 3245 hectares under forest and most of it is hilly. The forest areas are mostly around Sukhna Lake, Sukhna Choe and Patiala ki Rao. Near village Kansal on the outskirts of Chandigarh towards the hills is a reserve forest, entry to which is restricted. One has to obtain an entry pass to see it.
At a short distance from Kansal forest is located another reserve forest known as Nepli. Nepli is a bit wilder than Kansal. On two sides it is surrounded by small hills and the whole area is covered by thick forest which is full of wild life. There is a small rest house amidst green and flowery lawns. A walk in these forest areas can be very rewarding as one may come across large variety of wild animals - antelopes, nilgai, hyena, jackals and hares. The Deputy Conservator of Forest Chandigarh issues permits for entry to these forests.
The trek is 8Km long and runs over three hillocks and has a steep gradient. It originates at Nepli Forest Lodge and terminates at Kansal Forest Lodge. It is an educative trek which introduces a different kind of flora and fauna. Permission has to be sought from the Chief Wile Life Warden before commencing on the trek.

The husband of the Massachusetts woman who has been missing for nearly three full weeks has now been charged with her murder.
We’ve been covering the sad case of Ana Walshe, the Massachusetts woman who went missing from her hometown of Cohasset early on New Year’s Day after supposedly hailing a ride share to the airport for a work trip. Almost immediately after her disappearance, though, police were skeptical of husband Brian Walshe‘s story about Ana’s departure from their family home — where she lived with him and the couple’s three sons.
On Tuesday, police announced they have charged Brian with her murder — even as detectives remain tight-lipped while they continue to search for her body. Even more concerning, the prosecutor has cryptically warned that more information about the case will come out in court on Wednesday at Brian’s arraignment. Is it possible they found… something??
As we previously noted, the 47-year-old man pleaded not guilty last week to a charge of misleading investigators about his actions during the period after his wife first went missing on New Year’s Day. He has been held in jail on that charge while detectives continue to investigate Ana’s disappearance.
However, the last two weeks of investigation have clearly brought Cohasset police closer to a shocking realization: they are sure Ana was murdered. By charging Brian in her death, it’s clear prosecutors are zeroing in on what they believe happened to the 39-year-old mother.
In an announcement to the media on Tuesday from the Boston suburb, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey explained that Brian has now been charged with Ana’s murder:
“The continued investigation has now allowed police to obtain an arrest warrant charging Brian Walshe with murder of his wife. Mr. Walshe will be transported to the court for the charge of murder.”
It’s unclear what specific new information led authorities to charge Brian. As far as the public and media are aware, at least, police have not found Ana’s body yet. However, as CNN and others report, something clearly developed in the last week to put this charge on Brian.
Morrissey himself said as much on Tuesday, too. The prosecutor warned that police will reveal “additional” information about the path of their investigation when Walshe is arraigned in court on Wednesday:
“Additional details in the investigation and the evidence in support of those charges are likely to be presented at arraignment but will not be disclosed at this time.”
Clearly, it’ll be interesting to see what is revealed at that point. According to CNN, Brian’s attorney declined to comment on the murder charge.
As we’ve been reporting, police in Cohasset and nearby towns have found grim evidence possibly linked to Ana’s disappearance. At the family home, they discovered blood and a bloody knife in the basement. At a trash collection site in a neighboring town, they found a hacksaw with apparent bloodstains. And among Brian’s recent computer records, forensic investigators have uncovered internet searches seeking information on dismembering and disposing of a body.
Wednesday’s arraignment should contain much more information about this unsettling case. Obviously, this murder charge is a significant development. We can only hope police continue to dig for answers on what happened to Ana, and justice can properly be served.
Here is the latest on the murder charge that was just announced against Brian (below):
Such a scary situation.
According to CNN, the couple’s three young children — who are “all between the ages of 2 and 6” — continue to be held under the care of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.
We continue to send love to them, and to all of Ana’s loved ones.

Google Chromebooks Now Lead for School Usage
mlnews last edited by
Google Chromebooks are now the most popular devices in American schools. Google has managed to supplant Apple as the dominant technology in the classroom.
I have never understood why macs were so popular for school computer labs etc. Glad to see Chromebooks becoming a "mainstream" choice in the place where they make the most sense IMO... should make them easier for IT departments to pitch if "everyone else is doing it".

Marketing. Apple went nuts marketing to schools and schools are suckers for marketing over substance. It paid off. Schools rarely focus on lowering cost or on results, so selling them things that were too expensive and did not help the students didn't cause problems by and large.

I am not surprised, Chromebooks are so cheap, stateless and easy to use. I can only imagine that it would be pretty tough for a school to really want to do anything else.

After a two-year re-investigation, it was discovered that evidence that would have benefited the defense in the trial of Muhammad Aziz, now 83, and the late Khalil Islam was withheld, according to their attorneys, the Innocence Project and civil rights lawyer David Shanies.
Describing his conviction, Aziz said that it was “the result of a process that was corrupt to its core—one that is all too familiar.”
“I do not need a court, prosecutors or a piece of paper to tell me I am innocent,” he said in a statement. But he said he was glad his family, friends, and lawyers would get to see “the truth we have all known, officially recognized.”
The Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr stated that he would join the men’s legal team in requesting that the judge toss out the convictions on Thursday.
“These men did not get the justice that they deserved,” Vance told The New York Times, which first reported on the developments. Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck called the case “one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice that I have ever seen.”
After leaving the Nation of Islam, and establishing the Organization of Afro-American Unity, Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem on Feb. 21, 1965. He was 39.
Aziz, Islam, and another man, Mujahid Abdul Halim, who was also known as Talmadge Hayer and Thomas Hagan, were all convicted of murder in March 1966; they were sentenced to life in prison.
Hagan admitted that he was the lone gunman and testified that Aziz and Islam were involved. Known then as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, both men maintained throughout that they were innocent and offered alibis at their 1966 trial.
No physical evidence was ever introduced that linked either man to the crime.
“Thomas 15 Johnson and Norman 3X Butler had nothing to do with this crime whatsoever,” Hagan said in a sworn statement in 1977.
Hagan was paroled back in 2010. Although he identified two other men as gunmen, no one else was ever arrested.
During the re-investigation, it was discovered that the FBI had documented leads that pointed to other possible suspects and a witness that was still alive at the time, corroborated Aziz’s alibi of being home nursing a leg injury at the time of the shooting.
The witness, known as “J.M.,” who was never interviewed before said he spoke to Aziz on the latter’s home phone the day of the killing.

Time to Take a Rain Check? The Social and Practical Implications of Weather and Seasonality on the Cremation Rite in Early Anglo-Saxon England
Author(s): Kirsty Squires
Cremation was one of the primary funerary rites employed in early Anglo-Saxon England (fifth to seventh century AD). Open-air pyres were used to cremate the dead alongside an array of pyre goods, including personal objects and faunal gifts. The resultant remains were subsequently collected and interred in pottery urns. Despite the fact that this mortuary rite has been subjected to extensive research over recent years, archaeologists often overlook the challenges faced by communities that practiced cremation during this period. Weather and seasonality would have undoubtedly played a major role in the success of an open-air cremation. This paper will explore how early Anglo-Saxon communities dealt with fatalities during winter months and periods of inclement weather. The effects of a death under these circumstances would have impacted populations on a household and communal level. Funeral preparations, interactions between the living, and post-mortem treatment of the dead will each be considered as a means of establishing how communities overcame periods of adversity. An examination of the hardships faced by cremation practicing groups on both a practical and social level can further illuminate how the living interacted, not only with each other, but with the dead in early Anglo-Saxon England.

Bloat is a seasonal ruminant disease caused by extremely accumulation of fermentation gases within the rumen during digestion process. Promptly after cattle feed, the digestion system creates gases in the rumen. Most of these gases are eradicated by eructation. Any obstruction of the process of eliminating these gases can lead to bloat. Primary bloat or frothy bloat is the more common form of the condition. Usually the condition occurs as an epidemic in several animal within a determinate space, in the view of the fact that those animals fed on pastures that contain high levels of leguminous plants (especially clover and alfalfa) during spring. Once the froth has formed in the rumen and the natural eructation is obstructed, the rumen motility is initially increased, causing further frothing. With that occurring loss in muscle tone and rumen motility take place. The cows can die for different reasons, including the depressive effect of rumen distension on the heart and lungs and absorption of toxins from the rumen.
RELEVANT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Generally cows affected by the disease manifest the following symptoms:
- generally exhibit a distended left abdomen (is the most visible sign);
- Usually associated with pain, discomfort, and bellowing;
- no longer graze;
- a reluctance to move;
- generally strain to urinate and defecate;
- rapid breathing - mouth may be open with tongue protruding;
MAIN CAUSES OF THE BLOAT
- A condition secondary to acidosis indigestion;
- certain proteins in forage;
- the amount, rate of intake, and coarseness of the roughage;
- rate of digestion of grains as a result of processing (grinding too fine);
- host-parasite reaction following grub treatment choking;
- an inherited tendency for bloat.
PRACTICES TO REDUCE AND PREVENT BLOAT IN CATTLE
The prevention of bloat is not only advantageous to reduce cattle death, but it can also can reduce the undesirable effect on the cow’s performance. Fast growing and leguminous pastures should be avoided. Many paddocks will have areas of bloat inducing pasture during the spring and autumn growing seasons. The clover content in the pasture can vary markedly over a paddock. Cows will additionally select succulent grasses and legumes to graze, which makes assessing the risk of a pasture difficult. Pasture management should not be solely relied on to control bloat. Increasing the fibre intake of cattle will reduce bloating. Feeding grass hay daily can help to reduce the intake of “bloaty” pasture. However some animals will eat the pasture in preference to the hay. The protective effect is likely to be very short term (a few hours) but has been found to be effective on some farms.
Treatment of bloat usually requires the passing of a rumen tube and administration of vegetable oil or anti-bloat agents. Under organic conditions, proprietary anti-bloat agents require a milk withdrawal period twice as long as the label withdrawal period. The ones that do not indicate a statutory milk withdrawal require a minimum milk withdrawal of 48 hours. The prolonged withdrawal periods should be taken into consideration for meat withdrawal as well. Some certification bodies may operate a stricter withdrawal policy, and this should be checked before the inclusion of milk from the treated animals into the bulk tank. In severe cases, where death is imminent and the animal is lying down, emergency surgery (rumenotomy) by a veterinarian is necessary.
GENERAL ADVISES TO CONTROL BLOAT
Make sure to slowly introduce the cows into new pasture, owing to the fact that you will be able to control and follow the signs of bloat. Always check your cows during the process of grazing. Be aware of “danger seasons” and pay attention to what they feed on, during those seasons. Ensure access to long fibre during the whole grazing season at pasture or prior to going to pasture.

That, according to a new poll. From Politico:
Among Catholics, 54 percent back same-sex marriage, while 38 percent oppose it, the Quinnipiac University poll found. That’s a jump from December, when Catholic support for same-sex marriage was 49 percent to 43 percent.
Among all Americans, it’s a closer margin, with 47 percent supporting and 43 percent opposing. The pollsters noted that’s a dramatic reversal from their July 2008 survey, which found that 55 percent opposed same-sex marriage and 36 percent supported it. It’s also a slight rise in support since December, when Quinnipiac found 48 percent backed gay marriage and 46 percent opposed it.
Meanwhile, as the College of Cardinals prepares to select a new Pope, most American Catholics say that church leaders are out of touch with their views. Fifty-two percent of Catholics say the leaders out of touch, while 40 percent say they’re not.


The IIW’s panel of judges consisting of highly regarded experts awarded its accolades for outstanding achievements on July 7, 2021, as part of a virtual awards ceremony. Dr. Stephan Egerland, a recipient of one of the awards, is a passionate and experienced arc enthusiast. His award-winning specialist article was drawn up as part of his dissertation which he did alongside his professional work for seven years. In it, he investigated the geometry of shielding gas nozzles in detail and conducted special tests. The aim was to discover how the design of these key components affects the physics of their flow behavior and additionally how it affects the distribution of the energy in the arc plasma.
Dr. Egerland learned the welding profession from the ground up, covering all bases from MIG/MAG to TIG and electrodes. He went on to complete advanced training to become a nationally certified trainer and a certified welding expert of the German Association for Welding and Allied Processes (DVS). In 1997, his passion led him to join the technology leader Fronius where he is now a member of the Technology Publication Board of Fronius R&D. His responsibilities include creating technical/scientific publications, giving international presentations, and maintaining cooperative relationships with renowned international welding technology institutes and faculties. Alongside his professional work, Dr. Egerland studied Welding Engineering at Cranfield University in the UK before going on to complete his doctorate.

It is a collection of 100 ideas that that have manifested themselves in various shapes, forms and areas of design. They are ordered in chronological order and range from technical to stylistic to methods and objects.
The book starts with concepts like “the book”, “body type”, “pastiche” and end with modern concepts: “guerilla advertising”, “pixelation” and “designers’ website”.
These ideas are described by the authors as ” the big ideas that created the critical mass that produced the art and craft of contemporary graphic design. Some of these big ideas derive from past centuries; others are situated squarely in the early to mid twentieth; and still others were conceived during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.”
Some of my favorite ideas from “100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design”:
Red With Black
With his 1919 poster “Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge”, the Russian avant-garde artist El Lissitzky capitalized on the stimulating power of red with black, unleashing in the process forces he could not control. Red with black, which he had carefully monitored in a perfectly balanced layout, turned out to be an agressive duo. As a color combination, it has dominated the graphic design world ever since, prevailing against all odds as the most ubiquitous, all-purpose, universal color code.
The goal of what in the 1920’s was called “style engineering”—better known to us as “forced obsolescence “— was to increase consumer interest and make products more stylish through modern design. Marketers, promoters, and commercial artists believed that profits could be increased with packaging and promoting merchandise given a modernistic veneer. The advertising artist and design pioneer Raymond Loewy referred to the notion as MAYA (Most Advanced Yet Acceptable)— that is, avant-gardisms that did not too shockingly defy popular tastes.
Less is more
In Europe after World War II, “Ulm” was a magic word for anyone interested in graphic design. Referring to the Ulm School of Design (Hochschule für Gestaltung), a prestigious German design school founded in 1953 by Max Bill, it symbolized a new aesthetic so radical, so unencumbered, so flawless, that it felt like the dawn of a new age.
