Cosplay nevertheless gets a mixed reception in Japan even today. Events in districts such as Akihabara draw many cosplayers, yet there is no shortage of people in Japan who regard cosplay as a frivolous endeavor.

Fullmetal Alchemist

2010-04-08T00:39:00.000-07:00

Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi?, literally "Alchemist of Steel"), is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.

The manga is serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine (starting August 2001) and currently has 24 tankōbon volumes. It was adapted into an animated television series of 51 episodes by Bones from October 4, 2003 to October 2, 2004, later followed by a film sequel that concluded the story of the anime. Fullmetal Alchemist would later spawn a second series called Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which first premiered in Japan on April 5, 2009. A multitude of spin-off novels, original video animations (OVAs), drama CDs, soundtracks, and video games have been adapted from the series. A collectible card game, multiple supplementary books, and a variety of action figures and other merchandise based on the characters of the series have also been released.

The manga has been licensed by Viz Media for publication in the United States, with twenty-two bound volumes released currently. Although there are no major differences with the Japanese version, some pages have been edited to avoid minor references to western theology. Funimation Entertainment has dubbed the anime episodes in the United States and Canada, and has also released them in all English-speaking DVD regions. The English version of the film premiered in a limited number of U.S. theaters on August 25, 2006 and was later released on DVD. Funimation and Destineer have also been releasing the video games from the series.

In Japan, the Fullmetal Alchemist manga has enjoyed exceptional sales of over 30 million volumes sold as of 2008. The English release of the manga's first volume was the top-selling graphic novel during the year 2005. In two TV Asahi web polls, the anime was voted #1 most popular anime of all time in Japan. It was nominated in six of the eight categories for which it was eligible at the American Anime Awards in February 2007, winning awards in five of them. Reviewers from several media generally had positive comments on the series.

Japanese comic heroes come to life at Cosplay

2009-11-23T19:15:00.000-08:00

Japanese comic heroes come to life at Cosplay
PRINCESSES in flowing ballgowns, pilots of futuristic vessels and gigantic robots competed

on a level playing field at the national Cosplay championship at the weekend.

The grand final of the "costume play" event, held in an Albert Park hotel, brought together

Australia's most fervent supporters of Japanese comics and cartoons, better known as manga

and anime. Rather than just read or watch, people like Adelaide's Jenita Naipal spend

hundreds of hours making costumes of their favourite characters and then parading about in

them.

"I've had 3½ months to make it - that's a short time in the costuming world," the 24-year-

old said, struggling out of her robot suit from Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

"The arms are 190 centimetres, the head would be another 30 centimetres on top of that. I'm

five-foot-one-and-a-half [155 centimetres] so I'm walking with my hands above my head … I

was dying in there."

The fifth-placed Naipal won products from anime distributor Madman, which put on the event.

"I can definitely improve," she added.

Melbourne's Nicole Collis, 21, has just finished a digital arts course at RMIT, but her life

has been "full-time costume pandemonium" since then. The competition's runner-up is widely

known as Siera, her pen-name on internet forums, and she portrayed Rue from Princess Tutu, a

manga with a similar story to Swan Lake.

"I love the performance, being in character, it's a unique and creative way to express

yourself," she said, twirling in her pink and burgundy ball gown.

Her parents and friends were not particularly surprised by her hobby, she said. "They think

I'm a bit more than just crazy."

The competition's winner, Christie Lee of Sydney, was overjoyed with her prize: a trip to

Japan to attend next year's Tokyo Anime Fair.

"It hasn't really sunk in yet,'' she said.

In two outfits - a blue Victorian dress and a tight red number - the 21-year-old explained

how her favourite series was like a "twisted version" of Lewis Carroll's Alice in

Wonderland.

"I did a character named Alice from Pandora Hearts. Pretty much a girl who has a super power

and turns into a demon killer bunny," she explained, casually.

The surfing story

SURFING has taken seven-time world champion Layne Beachley around the world, but she never

thought she would end up in an exhibition.

A new collection celebrating the sport opened at the National Sports Museum at the MCG

yesterday, thrilling the wave-loving Beachley.

"I know, I was in a surfing museum before I was dead," she said, laughing.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think that boards would be hanging up at the MCG."

Collections manager Jed Smith said The Long Ride: 100 Years of Australian Surfing traversed

the origins of the sport through to the professional circuit of today. The exhibition

stretches back to 1909 when Manly's Tommy Walker brought a board from Hawaii and started to

ride. (It was previously held that Hawaiian champion Duke Kahanamoku was the first to ride

local waves in the 1920s.)

Until interest spiked in the 1970s and '80s, surfing was amateur and recreational, he said.

"So to get hold of boards to see the evolution, it's quite extraordinary."

Beachley said her first boards were thick, wide and long. "We'd be encouraged to learn on

'moving sidewalks'," she said. "Now the craftsmanship is just amazing, and it's great to see

it be honoured and admired and appreciated."

The exhibition runs until the end of February.

The corporate lab as ringmaster

2009-08-16T21:57:00.001-07:00

The Internet has changed many things, of course, but one of its more far-reaching effects has been to transform the economics of innovation.

The nation's big corporate research and development laboratories--at IBM, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard and a handful of other companies--have their roots and rationale in the industrial era, when communication was costly, information traveled slowly and social networks were fostered at conferences and lunchrooms instead of over the Web.

Crowdsourcing and other new, more open models of innovation are really byproducts of the low-cost communication and new networks of collaboration made possible by the Internet.

王錫侯

2007-12-16T22:39:00.000-08:00

王錫侯（？－1777年），清乾隆江西新昌縣棠浦鎮沐溪村人。
康熙五十二年（1713年）與兄長王景云共同起蒙，為追求功名，自己鎖在王氏祠堂的小房裡，日以繼夜的苦讀。一天三餐，由家人從地檻下的小洞送進去。二十四岁才补博士弟子，1750年，三十八歲中舉。孟森在“字贯案”说王锡侯“盖亦一头巾气极重之腐儒”，“乡里小儒气象”。以十七年光陰自編《字貫》一書，分天文、地理、人事、物類四大類，共四十卷。此書針對《康熙字典》收字太多，“然而穿貫之難”等缺失，加以補強，并称“字犹散钱，义以贯之，贯非有加于钱，钱实不妨用贯，因名之曰《字贯》”。
乾隆四十二年（1777年）為一個仇家王瀧南向江西巡撫海成舉發，又诬陷说，王锡侯有40里花园，10里鱼塘。乾隆以“罪不容誅，即應照大逆律問擬”，抄家時僅獲七十多兩銀子。《字貫》凡例寫入康熙帝、雍正帝、乾隆帝之名諱（玄燁、胤禛、弘曆），沒有缺筆避諱，更被認爲非常不敬。王錫侯被監送京城問斬，子孫七人都被判斬，其他人“充发黑龙江，与披甲人为奴”。胡思敬的《盐乘》说：“被诛时情状甚惨”。原來江西巡撫海成上奏时建议革去王锡侯“举人”头衔，乾隆认为刑罚太轻，有替罪人说好话之嫌，一樣處斬；江西布政使周克开、按察史冯廷丞也因为看过《字贯》一书，未指出悖逆之處，遭到革职處分。

Findings of Fact

1. Dent holds current a certificate No. 008911 as a certified public accountant (C.P.A.), and a permit to practice that expired September 30, 1999. At all relevant times, Dent’s certificate and permit were current and active.
2. Dent was the secretary and treasurer of the following:

1. Sonny Hill Pontiac-Buick-GMC Truck, Inc. in Olathe, Kansas and

2. Sonny Hill Motors, Inc. in Platte City, Missouri,

for which General Motors Acceptance Corporation provided financing; and:

3. Sonny Hill Saturn, Inc. in Olathe, Kansas,
4. Sonny Hill Chrysler-Plymouth-Jeep-Eagle, Inc. of Kansas City, Kansas,
5. Sonny Hill Oldsmobile-GMC Truck, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri,
6. Sonny Hill North of Platte City, Inc. in Platte City, Missouri,
7. Sonny Hill East, Inc. in Blue Springs, Missouri,
8. Sonny Hill Chevrolet-Geo-Jeep-Eagle, Inc. of Lansing, Kansas and
9. Sonny Hill Chevrolet-Geo-Oldsmobile, Inc. in Lawrence, Kansas,

for which Chrysler Credit Corporation provided financing.

3. To maintain the financing for the dealerships in Findings 2 (the dealerships), Dent and others sent statements of financial standing to General Motors Acceptance Corporation and Chrysler Credit Corporation (the finance companies). Such statements were falsified by inflating the amount of cash the dealerships had. After sending the statements to the finance companies,

the false entries were removed from the statements so the dealerships could have correct financial records to operate on.

4. As a result of relying on the dealerships’ false financial statements,

1. General Motors Acceptance Corporation lost $2,424,770.51;

2. Chrysler Credit Corporation lost $1,265,673.33; and
3. Boatman’s First National Bank of Kansas City, Missouri lost $404,446.

5. On November 22, 1999, the United States District Court for the District of Kansas found Dent guilty based on the facts in Findings 2 through 4 and on his guilty plea of “wire fraud and aiding and abetting” under 18 U.S.C. sections 1343 and 2. The Court imposed a sentence of five years probation and a $5,000 fine. United States v. Dent, Case No. 2:99CR20036-01-GTV.

Automobile manufacturers increasingly turn to outsourcing vehicle components so
they can devote more attention to creating enticing designs and improving production
efficiencies. They partner with experts to supply seats, instrument panels, batteries
and a wide array of other parts – all of which are shipped to auto assembly plants
on a “just-in-time” basis.
The Automotive Systems Group (ASG) of Johnson Controls,
Inc., which provides complete seating systems, headliners
and other interior components to automakers worldwide,
is mirroring the success of its customers by outsourcing
the construction management of its own assembly plants.
That way, ASG can better focus on its core business.
“Outsourcing construction management allows us to build
as many plants as necessary to meet customer demands
without having to worry about staffing,” says Dean Boik,
director of facilities for ASG. “We can undertake one project a year or five projects a
year.” This means his department also is much less prone to add employees in boom
times and lay them off in lean times.
So, when General Motors awarded ASG a major contract to supply seats and
headliners for the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Envoy SUVs at its Oklahoma City plant,
the company turned to its own Controls Group to manage all design and construction
activities for a new facility to serve GM. The Johnson Controls plant encompasses
150,000 square feet, 130,000 of which is dedicated to production and 20,000 to
finished office space.
Construction costs of about $41-per-square-foot were $4-per-square-foot less than
the project’s target, based on the Oklahoma City market. This figure is well below
the range of $45-65-per-square-foot for previous Johnson Controls automotive
seating plants.
