I happened to find that Canadian Catholic Conference held in Ottawa, Ont., 1972 approved the "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" (originally written in German with the title "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott") in their Catholic Book of Worship and that it was included in a list of suggested hymns in "Cantica NOVA Publications" in the States. 

My paternal grandmother would feel happy to have known that, because her grandson is allowed by the grace of God to sing the hymn at Mass in the Roman rite that she surely loved singing, though she belonged to the Reformed Church.

I really love the hymn!

I celebrate the memorial of St Rafael Arnáiz Barón (1911-1938)  in the Catholic calendar today. I'm very happy to be named after him and my Godfather and Maryknoll Missionary by the grace of God.

"The winner is the last warrior to stay standing": That is same at the court in any state or country.

I thank God who has rescued me from a nest of evils today. Now I'm free and enjoy thirty eight paid days-off! What a lovely gift it is that you keep away from "politics."

The Japanese chose to Make Japan Great Again!!! Finally, the history of the defeat of the second world war had ended. People have stepped forward to protect homeland and history and integrity!!! This is the voice of people and the way for victory!!! We would take back our homeland from enemies and kick out all invaders from the borders!!!

My paper that was presented at The 14th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications (IBICA 2023) has been finally published from Springer Nature in its lecture notes. They have not described any reasons why the book title including my paper and others was delayed in the publication process. We presented papers on December 2023 and submitted everything including a copyright contract and a final camera ready file. What happened during almost one year and a half long? I emailed to Springer Nature for asking them to describe the situation on going. Every time they apologized to me and didn't provide me with any detail on the situation. Something has changed in the publication process of the Company during the Covid-pandemic era. I guess that you would face a similar situation like ours often from now on in academia. We live in a very difficult time that you have never experienced before. It is a sad.

I happened to find a program committee of an IEEE international conference choose a master program student as a reviewer for its review process. It is horrible! Who could trust any results provided in the process? When has it happened in IEEE conferences? You should stop that stupidity right now!!!
