ISE FoodsMain activity: Distributed solar power generationCommissioning: 2017 we started up our first solar power plant in Japan in Nanao located on the Noto Peninsula on the country’s west coast it generates enough power to serve 9,000 Japanese households through more than 80,000 high efficiency solar panels Since the 2011 Fukushima disaster and the ensuing shut-down of the country’s nuclear power plants the Japanese government has introduced policies to encourage the development of renewable energies It was with this in mind that the Nanao PV power plant was built The first TotalEnergies solar farm in Japan it was constructed on brownfield land owned by the agri-food group ISE mainly because of the geological and climate constraints the site is exposed to the risk of earthquakes and experiences heavy rainfall as well as strong winds and snow The challenge was therefore to build a solar plant on a small site that could effectively generate power despite low levels of sunshine and withstand the elements for more than 20 years We responded by using solar panels able to produce 45% more energy than conventional solar panels meaning the plant achieves high output despite limited sunshine which was crucial for the viability of the project The start-up of the Nanao power plant marked an important milestone in our history in Japan This history is one of the cornerstones of our future in the country and helps strengthen our relationships with Japanese companies and civil society we protected a hill considered to be one of the most sacred places in Japan This series sounds so fun on paper (curses! evil relatives! demon wars! shikigami! and vampires?!), but the execution is mostly giving “We have My Happy Marriage at home.” I've spent the day trying to figure out why The Ayakashi Hunter's Tainted Bride left me so cold overly polished look that tends to smooth out any unique edges Other than some striking images of Nanao's monkey mask the style doesn't give the supernatural elements much panache Second, just like the art, the character writing is also a bit generic. Nanao is a typical passive Cinderella, waiting to be rescued and just happy to be needed. (Dear authors: please read older Cinderella variants where she's an active, clever heroine who facilitates her own rescue.) With the exception of Nanao's dad, her relatives are all cartoonishly wicked. Yako fares a bit better thanks to a touch of moe bashfulness and Nanao and Yako bonding over their curses creates a potentially strong romantic throughline there's not much to help distinguish these characters from other but still worth noting for prospective readers: this world's magic system is founded on gendered stereotypes that combine yin/yang philosophy with “separate sphere” beliefs so they work outside the home; women possess dark spiritual power really hammering home how this society sees her as more Instant Pot than person Maybe the series will challenge that worldview in future volumes I'm probably being too hard on The Ayakashi Hunter's Tainted Bride but the premise sounded like a home run for me and it barely got on base It's a lot of familiar archetypes and story beats without a lot of consideration for how those elements are used or what they mean for the characters and story as a whole Not even Surprise Vampires could win me over but unless I hear that Nanao develops some agency and goals beyond “feed hubby,” I won't be back for more It's almost impossible to read The Ayakashi Hunter's Tainted Bride without thinking about My Happy Marriage That's largely due to surface similarities: the stories both take place in a fantasy Taisho era and star heroines who were abused by their families only to be whisked away in marriage to a powerful man and you have quite frankly a lot of series in no small part because of the worldwide prevalence of the Cinderella tale type this series may turn out to be its own thing and strong enough on its own merits to appeal to readers in no small part because the script is written by Midori Yūma the author of Kakuriyo – Bed and Breakfast for Spirits this volume does make it hard to look past the familiar elements Heroine Nanao was treated horribly by her family because of the actions of her jealous cousin Akemi who tricked her into becoming tainted by leaving the barrier keeping ayakashi out of the family estate although the stealing of Nanao's illustrious fiancé Reito speaks more of a different fairy tale “The White Bride and the Black One,” ATU403a Akemi's cruelty determines Nanao's life from her fall from grace to her rescue by Yako and I'm very afraid that we haven't seen the last of her because the final chapter reveals that Reito is beginning to figure out what his wife has been up to and the near total lack of any likable characters is a hurdle for this volume although he does try to be; his naturally caustic demeanor turns him into more of the dark and brooding hero than I think he's meant to be And he does at least really care for Nanao; his rescue of her is only partially motivated by wanting a bride from her family while the rest comes down to simply wanting to help someone in a terrible position He and Nanao both need a lot more character development to make the story truly work which ultimately is why I say this is worth giving a second volume to see where it goes Right now this feels like a collection of cogs that aren't quite connecting It has folkloric elements in both fairy tales and ayakashi sitings a recognizable romance that risks budding into a love triangle if Reito can keep his head out of his ass whose art is best known from the roughly four hundred Alice in the Country of _____ manga adaptations I'm tentatively hopeful for this – just because it's telling a familiar story doesn't mean that it's not a story worth reading BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 -The Conflict- anime revealed the preview for Episode 11 (Episode 37 overall) The

In 2024, graduate students from across SGS' M.A. programs conducted fieldwork through Global Perspectives Awards which are made possible through the generous support of Mr Read a few highlights about their experiences abroad below.  I had the unique privilege to travel to Astana and Almaty to explore my capstone research question: how had the wielding of political and economic power by Kazakhstan’s government shaped the contours of ownership structure in the country’s post-socialist extractives industries While the Kazakhstani oil industry had attracted an influx of foreign investment into developing its lucrative Caspian Sea basin reserves in the years after its independence control of the country’s vast mining industry had consolidated into the hands of a few Kazakh businessmen and state-owned enterprises Through conversations with academics at KIMEP and the University of Central Asia I gleaned a greater understanding of the historical and political dynamics that had shaped the industries’ development including maintaining economic stability in centrally planned ‘monotowns’ and reclaiming removing influence from unsavory Russian investors in the mining industry Thanks to the Global Perspectives Award and the support of CREEES my observations from Kazakhstan significantly informed my thesis that Kazakhstan’s heavy-handed privatizations had followed a logic of sovereignty-maximization as Nursultan Nazarbayev sought to consolidate power for himself and his patronage network over his nearly three decades at the nation’s helm This research was a continuation of my previous work in the Caucasus Mountains in Azerbaijan where mapping out hiking trails led to encounters with the vast and varied lifestyles and stories present within the mountains both amongst nomadic societies and old settled villages The opportunity to revisit some of these historic settlements through the SGS Global Perspectives Award allowed me to explore some of my unanswered questions about the transhumance movements and the often-overlooked histories embedded deep within the mountains and on their highest ridges—stories that cannot be fully comprehended through traditional history textbooks or urban academic centers which remains as the main gathering and concert hall since Soviet times Nazrin enjoyed a flavorful dinner in Griz after catching up and studying the newly published Grizli language textbook Using the funding from the Global Perspectives Award I visited Gulf of Maine Books in Brunswick to converse with poet and publisher Gary Lawless about his experiences traveling with and publishing Nanao Sakaki and it was very gratifying to see him reminisce about his close friend and mentor I intend to discuss Nanao's non-literary activities in addition to his poetry I was drawn to Nanao because of my interest in ecocriticism and ecopoetry but also because of the mystique surrounding this vagabond poet getting by with the generosity of his friends Gary’s intimate experiences with Nanao elucidated some of the context of his poetry gave me insight into Nanao’s psyche and philosophy I have multiple hours of interview audio covering a vast range of Nanao-related topics that I will sift through which will be an indispensable resource for my prospective thesis Gary also told me about an archive of Nanao’s works and related material at UC Davis that he has been compiling but equally impressive was hearing about some of his experiences with American poet and essayist Gary Snyder Gary Lawless “apprenticed” under Snyder in 1973 Gary discussed the political philosophy of bioregionalism and watershed consciousness—a hot topic of discussion during his time at Snyder’s—to which many of Nanao’s poems correspond The research I was able to accomplish in Brunswick has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to synthesizing some of the information I gathered in Maine in the coming year as I begin writing my thesis Inside the Gulf of Maine bookstore in Brunswick Facade of the Gulf of Maine bookstore in Brunswick My research activities included visiting museums and educational centers in El Salvador and examining the ways in which collective memory of Salvadoran history is publicly preserved Throughout my life and academic experience I have been exposed to two very different sides of El Salvador: that which is recognized in culture and daily life and that which is generally the center of academic studies I decided to pursue this research in an effort to reconcile the disconnect between the understanding of daily life in El Salvador against the largely unspoken traumatic and violent history of the country that is still very fresh in the lives of many Visiting museums and gaining a deeper understanding of Salvadoran history I was also exposed to the deep tensions between state and non-state actors when it comes to truth telling and knowledge production I had the great fortune of my trip to El Mueso de la Palabra y Imagen coinciding with a workshop the museum held on educating mental health professionals on the history of Salvadoran civil war and consequences on ex-combatants Speaking with the individuals who participated in the workshop and seeing their own eagerness to learn about and discuss their country's history in a safe space of reflection was an incredibly profound intersection of the desire and struggle to cultivate and preserve a collective memory that the state may otherwise erase Without the opportunity to have been on the ground and build connections … I would not have been able to see for myself that the desire to reconcile the disconnect between daily life in El Salvador against its violent history is not only my own goal but a broader goal for many Salvadorans who understand the importance of recognizing and preserving the truth and the role this plays in the present day Lola Amaya holding two dogs in El Salvador Make a gift Encina Commons615 Crothers WayStanford, CA

Blown glass is a craft that captures that moment Kota Arinaga encapsulates the long hours spent in the textile process in blown glass which could be called “the beauty of the moment” He has a studio on Notojima Island in Nanao Bay and we will touch on his thoughts as he expresses his own worldview based on the Venetian glass technique bubbly pattern looks as if it might start moving at any moment The play of light and shadow is breathtaking It seems as if life has taken up residence in glass which is normally considered to be an inorganic material you can see the fine fibers in each bubble It looks more like a coarse-textured knitted fabric than a bubble a traditional Italian glass craft known as Venetian glass glass artist Kota Arinaga created “netz” using his own unique techniques When you hear the phrase “textile-inspired” Textiles are made by spinning thread and weaving it together over time which must be shaped before it cools and hardens The processes of glass and textiles seem to be completely opposite “I wanted to capture the time axis of the textile process in the ‘instant’ of blown glass.” This series of works is also created through a precise and laborious process of stretching glass like twisting thread When the time axis of glass and textiles overlap Venetian glass is characterized by its sophisticated he aims to “reconstruct this technique with a Japanese sense of beauty and aesthetics” The Japanese aesthetic sense is unique in that it finds natural beauty in imperfection Arinaga uses highly advanced techniques that are precisely calculated to express this “beauty of irregularity” is a place where you can feel the changing of the four seasons He says that he makes vessels over and over again and that he creates his own form by letting the movement become ingrained in his body one-of-a-kind works that require delicate techniques and the everyday vessels are on the same line of craftsmanship “Techniques and skills are tools for expression That’s why you have to keep looking after them and polishing them and you have to keep using them or they won’t improve.” He keeps his hands busy making everyday vessels polishing up his skills and bringing out his own style Arinaga’s style of production is artisan-like and stoic Arinaga thinks about and tries out various things as he works he has a set of sake cups with different shapes The wide-mouthed flat cups have a shape that makes the rim and tongue of the cup almost parallel so that the liquid stops at the tip of the tongue making it easy to taste the sweetness and bitterness The small-mouthed guinomi cups are said to make it possible to enjoy a clean taste the narrow-mouthed kouhai cups are designed so that the liquid flows easily into the mouth This allows the sake to spread out horizontally The narrow opening also means that the aftertaste can be enjoyed for longer The person who gave me the idea was the owner of a local izakaya He told me about it when he found out I was working with glass ‘I never realized that the shape of a sake cup could make such a difference to the taste of the sake “I didn’t taste the sake at all at the time He says that when he was making the vessels and he tried to make sake vessels that would allow him to experience that He hopes that the vessels he makes will be easy to use and enrich people’s lives The vessels he creates with this wish in mind add color and small discoveries to the lives of the people who use them The Noto Peninsula earthquake that struck on January 1st 2024 also caused damage to the pottery workshop on Notojima Island Many of the solo exhibitions planned for that year had to be cancelled but he says that he felt impatient as the extraordinary situation continued day after day The damage to the area was so great that he also felt unsure about whether it was okay for him to start working again he received a message from a gallery owner he knew well I’ll make sure to sell them.’ Hearing this ‘It’s okay to start making things again.’ All the broken pieces were melted together and remade into a new piece The colors of the fragments were different but the color that was born from mixing them together was a soft blue It was a color that reminded one of the sea of Noto and so it was named “0101 (zero-one-zero-one) blue” he struggled to get back into the rhythm of his creative activities but when he crossed over that time on January 1st the following year “I thought to myself that it was only natural that my pace and style of work would change given the terrible things that had happened.” When he accepted the change he says he suddenly felt a weight lift from his shoulders Arinaga is also involved in something else: expanding the scope of the glass industry It is a high hurdle to become an independent glass artist the crucible used to melt the glass has to be replaced You can’t be away for long periods of time either to maintain the kiln with the fire still burning “If only there was a kiln that was more compact and he took his idea to the kiln manufacturer who developed a kiln that could be turned off when not in use If the entire glass industry comes to a standstill If there were kilns that were easy to use when starting out as an artist it might be possible to increase the number of potters the introduction of “Arinaga-style” kilns is spreading Every day he faces the glass in the “Arinaga-style” kiln that he helped to develop His desire to expand the scope of his work grows stronger “I want people to know that this kiln can create such expressions” Arinaga has encapsulated in his glass also includes time that leads to the future The manga's first part ended in November 2023 along with the announcement that the manga will take a long break to prepare for the second part

"I wasn't worried because I figured there would be some aftershocks but I wasn't leaving until (weeks after the quake) many on the peninsula are pinning their hopes on Kanazawa to give tourism another much-needed kick-start in the hopes that money spent will flow into Noto as well who also called on the central government to present clear reconstruction support measures as soon as possible to give everyone a sense of direction Despite the future of the largely destroyed Wajima morning market remaining uncertain who heads an association supporting the market said the attraction will likely become "a symbol of recovery." even if we don't know how many years it will take," he said FEATURE: Quake leaves deep scars on famed Noto sake brewers To have the latest news and stories delivered to

may change without notice cruel summer finally over and a refreshing chill in the air my thoughts are turning towards the glories of Taiwan’s hot springs not so much to the developed bath houses and resorts of Yangmingshan (although those are very nice in their own way) It’s still a couple of months too early to safely consider visiting most of the finest hot springs — Hayouxi (哈尤溪溫泉) Huisun (惠蓀溫泉) and Lulu (轆轆溫泉) — because it’s still technically rainy season in the southern half of Taiwan and rivers will either be flowing too high to negotiate or be subject to sudden and dangerous flash floods as thunderstorms hit a great time to visit the cluster of springs in the northeastern county of Yilan In November the summertime risk of heavy afternoon showers has gone while the northeast monsoon fronts (which make Yilan wet and miserable for much of the winter) have yet to strengthen While several famous ones at Jiaosi (礁溪) and Renze (仁澤) near Taipingshan have long been tapped to provide water for commercial resorts A couple of easy-to-reach springs lie just a stone’s throw from each other on Highway 7 Fanfan (梵梵溫泉) and Paiguxi (排骨溪溫泉) hot springs are both just a short stroll from the road especially with four-wheel drive aficionados who park their motorized monstrosities on the riverbed right beside the spring is only big enough for a couple of bathers at any one time A bigger and more important group lies around the town of Nanao (南澳) one of the main settlements along the magnificent Suhua Highway (Highway No A remote trio lie deep in the mountains on tributaries of Hoping Creek but requires a strenuous three-day camping trip Easier to reach are the four hot spring sources along Nanao Creek Flowing out of the mountains to the northwest the creek passes right through the town before reaching the ocean just north of a beautiful stretch of cliff-bound coastline known as Mystery Coast (神秘海岸) The first two spring sources are easily accessible thanks to a road that follows the first 6km or 7km of the river gorge Bihou (碧候) and Area Four (四區) hot springs lie beside the road and have both been developed with water piped into unsightly artificial pools Wild hot spring lovers should motor straight past these without a second glance park near Area Four Hot Spring and follow the track further in the direction of the blissfully untouched Laka Hot Spring (拉卡溫泉) Walk ahead along the track through the woods parallel to the broad riverbed Clamber down to the riverbed and start walking upstream towards the wide gorge opening up ahead Presently the gorge narrows and the going becomes rougher — the only way is to clamber up over and occasionally under huge boulders (some nearly as big as a house) washed down by past typhoons In a few places the sides of the gorge squeeze the river between low cliffs of grey marble and these stretches are only passable when the river is fairly low About 90 minutes (or 3km) from the end of the road the source will be obvious in rocks on the right bank of the river The powerful source of hot spring water seeps out of a series of cracks in a low sill of rock about 20m in length the water at the base of the rock will be the temperature of a hot bath a small stream of scalding hot water (too hot to even stick your toe in) runs through the gravel and into the river leaving a strip of brightly colored minerals as it flows Several kilometers upstream from Laka lies Yading Hot Spring (芽丁溫泉) but it’s normally approached from a completely different direction via a long mountain road beginning near Dongshan (冬山) If time and weather conditions allow though do walk upstream from Laka Hot Spring a little further (20 minutes) and your reward on a side stream to the right after a sharp left-hand bend is a beautiful small waterfall: a double plunge leaping into a deep pool of pure Richard Saunders is a classical pianist and writer who has lived in Taiwan since 1993 and is the author of six books about Taiwan Visit his Web site at www.taiwanoffthebeatentrack.com Metrics details The plant hormone auxin is a key morphogenetic regulator acting from embryogenesis onwards Transcriptional events in response to auxin are mediated by the auxin response factor (ARF) transcription factors and the Aux/IAA (IAA) transcriptional repressors IAA repressors associate with ARF proteins and recruit corepressors that prevent auxin-induced gene expression IAAs are degraded and ARFs become free to regulate auxin-responsive genes The interaction between ARFs and IAAs is thus central to auxin signalling and occurs through the highly conserved domain III/IV present in both types of proteins we report the crystal structure of ARF5 domain III/IV and reveal the molecular determinants of ARF–IAA interactions We further provide evidence that ARFs have the potential to oligomerize a property that could be important for gene regulation in response to auxin We report here the crystal structure of ARF5 domain III/IV and identify the molecular determinants controlling interactions between ARFs and IAAs We further demonstrate that ARFs and IAAs can oligomerize a property that could be crucial for gene regulation in response to auxin Blue and red asterisks indicate conserved residues of the positive and negative face Blue and red triangles show conserved residues of the positive and negative face found only in the ARF family (a) SEC analysis showing that the wild-type ARF5 is eluted as a large oligomer and that mutation on the positive face (ARF5m1) the negative face (ARF5m2) or both faces (ARF5m3) leads to a monomer with a small proportion of dimer (b) Calibration curve used to determine the apparent molecular weight of proteins shown in a Isolated domains III/IV were used and fused to a 6his-tag III/IVARF proteins and calibration standards were loaded in the same buffer (see Methods) IAA12 (green) or both proteins mixed (red) the ARF5m3 double mutant is unable to interact with IAA12 (right) (b) SEC analysis of ARF5 (left) and IAA12 proteins (right) Oligomerization of ARF5 and IAA12 is impaired by mutation of the positive face (ARF5m1 (c) Calibration curve used to estimate apparent molecular weight of proteins presented in a and b IAA12m2 and IAA12m3 are eluted as monomers Isolated domains III/IV were used for ARF and IAA proteins IAA and calibration standards) were loaded in the solubilization buffer (see Methods) Isolated domains III/IV were used for ARF5 and IAA12 proteins (c) Y2H experiments showing that wild-type ARF5 can interact via both faces of IAA12 P-values from one-sided Mann–Whitney U-test (n=4 for all experiments) by comparison with the results obtained with the two empty vectors (−/−) are indicated Isolated domains III/IV were

ARF7m2) or on both (K1042A-D1092A-D1096A-D1102A-D1103A: ARF7m3) to induce auxin-signalling activity in absence (IAA−) or presence (IAA+) of auxin ARF7 wild-type and mutant forms all significantly increase auxin-induced transcription only ARF7m3 can increase the transcription of DR5::GUS in the absence of auxin (b) Comparison of the capacity of the wild-type IAA17 and IAA19 (IAA17/19wt) and mutant forms affected on the positive face (K114A: IAA17m1; K100A: IAA19m1) on the negative face (D183A-D187A: IAA17m2; D154A-D158A: IAA19m2) or on both (K114A-D183A-D187A: IAA17m3; K100A-D154A-D158A: IAA19m3) to repress auxin-signalling activity in absence (IAA−) or presence (IAA+) of auxin Expression of IAA17 or IAA19 reduces the induction of DR5::GUS in response to auxin indicating repression of auxin signalling by the IAA proteins The repressive capacities are slightly reduced by mutations affecting a single IAA face (m1 and m2) and more importantly affected by mutations affecting both faces (m3) for both IAA17 and IAA19 P-values from one-sided Mann–Whitney U-test (n=3 for all experiments) Cartoon representing the putative role of domain III/IV from ARF and IAA proteins in auxin
