In the second century of the Christian Aera, the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth, and the most civilized portion of mankind. The frontiers of that extensive monarchy were guarded by ancient renown and disciplined valor. The gentle but powerful influence of laws and manners had gradually cemented the union of the provinces. Their peaceful inhabitants enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury. キリスト教時代の2世紀、ローマ帝国は地球のもっとも美しい地域と 人類のもっとも文明化された部分を持っていた。拡張した帝国の国境は 古代の名声と武勇によって守られていた。法と風習の穏やかだが 強力な影響は徐々に属州の結びつきを強めていった。 その平和な住人は富と贅沢のメリットを楽しみ乱用した。

The Miracle of Freedom: Seven Tipping Points That Saved the World [Hardcover] 自由への転機となった7つの歴史上のできごと>>101を解説。 歴史書です。我々が現在自由に生きることができるのは幸運な歴史上の 7つのできごとに支えられているのである。

In a little district west of Washington Square the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called "places." These "places" make strange angles and curves. One Street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account!

Over the past two months, Darpa, has awarded nine contracts totaling $49 million for its Integrity and Reliability of Integrated Circuits (IRIS) program to check for compromised chips. Seven companies and two universities received the awards.
But in a last word to the wise of these days, let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest.
The most extreme criticism is that S&P and its peers should not really be in the business of rating the American government anyway. A credit rating is far less relevant to Treasury bonds than it is to, say, a corporate bond.
Several days ago, I took off for a late afternoon hike in the beautiful rice paddy countryside of northern Chiba Prefecture. The transition from late summer to early autumn is a wonderful season. With harvest time just around the corner, the rice plants have reached their full height, and the grains are already starting to yellow. On these yu-suzumi strolls, I normally stick to the narrow farm-roads that run alongside the paddies, hoping to encounter some interesting wildflowers or dragonflies. On this day, however, as dusk descended I found 〜
