He told me his recent awful experience in a review process of a paper that he submitted last year. I understood what he would like me to grasp, thus what had happened to him. I myself have experienced the same thing as a reviewer and also contributor to an IEEE conference, which had been acknowledged a flagship one in the same area of study. We live in a world that is completely different from before the pandemic began. We were too open to totalitarian countries and their followers and misused the concept of diversity. Diversity doesn't allow anybody to support injustice or rogues to squeeze righteous ones. We should have been more careful like a serpent to those evils. <br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M. R.

I've never read any record of quakes that happened on the first day of January in history. The situation is not clear enough that many partial reports appear on SNS. A judge who worked with me on a case stays there in Wajima City, which is located in the vicinity of the epicenter. I'm really worried at the situation that is still going on considerable times of quakes happening. <br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M. R.

They had flowers in November last year, though they did so this year in this late December. This is because of the very hot weather that has never happened yet last month. Anyway, we're now in the winter. And, noel is just a step before us. Why not rejoice it!<br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M. R.

The temperature is just 50 F at noon and it is always cloudy and windy. I hate this bad weather that is very miserable in November. Last week we enjoyed summer-like blue skies and hot days.

Online shoppers have to be very cautious before buying and research for which store you should put trust in by screening reviews and searching physical presence of such store in its homepage. I feel difficult to keep shopping online these days, because some stores suddenly close their homepages on very popular shopping sites daily without any notions to customers. Shopping in stores is sometimes costly, however it is safer than online shopping. I well know that it is a kind of nostalgia, and I hope face-to-face shopping in stores be back near future. <br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M. R.

My garden looks like a desert, literally speaking. I've never seen such that landscape in my youth. The elder generation who survived WWII told me that they experienced a very hot and long summer during the wartime. However, I have not expected to see it in my eyes. We stay home and close shutters and turn on all air-conditioners all the day. When does this crazy weather change here? <br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M. R.

If something positive should have become obvious, the origin of human would be discussed from a point of view that is very much different from before. Anyway, our area of study, AI and mathematics, is based on a system that is based on what human has made artificially so that we don't care much of the on-going discussion on the topic. <br /></p>Dr. Hideyasu M.
