Aladdin's Wishes Slots
Designed by RTG, Aladdin's Wishes will take you in a world where a bit of magic still exists, focusing on the well known story of Aladdin and the wishes he gets granted by the Genie from the lamp. It's a theme that's often chosen for slot machines because it tends to be quite popular, so there are plenty of choices out there if you enjoy the thought of winning the lottery, or having someone magically granting you three wishes.
It's a design that offers a fairly typical experience, with its 20 paylines used on 5 reels. RTG didn't skimp on the features in this case, so you will find that you get wild symbols on some of the reels, multipliers, scatter symbols and a bonus game where free spins are awarded. The top payouts of up to $50,000 are a big part of the game's attraction, but so is the progressive jackpot that is offered.
Features of Aladdin's Wishes
Both a wild and a scatter symbol are provided here, each one doing its thing to make things interesting for the player. You will notice that they're not basic features, so they always give you a bit extra when they're around.
The wild symbol's representative in the game is Aladdin himself. It's a feature that has both pros and some downsides, but its power of substitution is always welcome, in any game. It may appear only on reels 2, 3 or 4, but it has a 2x multiplier attached which doubles all payouts that the wild had a hand in forming. This applies even to the top jackpot combo.
The other major feature symbol of Aladdin's Wishes is the scatter, the Genie's lamp being the one used in this case. A small payout is offered when two scatter symbols are on the screen, but the real reward comes when there are at least three. That's when the bonus game triggers.
Bonus Game With Free Spins
Once the bonus game starts, the player is taken to a treasure room, with mountains of gold in it and with five gold lamps placed on top. The number of scatters which triggered the bonus round (3 to 5), will determine how many picks the player has. He clicks on each chosen lamp, being awarded either prizes or free spins. Prizes vary between 2x and 100x the value of the round's wager, while the round of free spins consists in 25 games. Free spins come with 2x multipliers for all their payouts.
The betting system will always cover all 20 lines available, with individual line wagers starting at $0.01 and stopping at $5. A $100 maximum bet is allowed, with the value of the payouts depending on its size.
A random jackpot can be won, requiring no combo of symbols, just pure luck. The game's best combo of symbols involves the presence of five princess symbols on a line, rewarding the player with 5,000x line bet multiplier. With the wild helping out, that top prize doubles to 10,000x.
The game offers a pretty decent approximation of Arabic culture, architecture and manages to do it all with cartoon like characters and graphics. It's quite colorful, with symbols that have received enough attention from the designers to make the game look good.
Symbols: Aladdin (wild), Magic Lamp (scatter), Princess (5,000x), Genie (1,000x), Monkey (500x), Magic Carpet/Sword (250x), Money Bag/Bracelet (200x), Bottle/Fruit Basket (100x).
You will find that the time you spend playing Aladdin's Wishes is not something you're going to regret, certainly not because of the atmosphere and the gameplay. Having a progressive jackpot there to motivate you is always a plus, but the game is fun enough on its own. One downside would be the choice between free spins and cash prizes when you hit 3+ scatters and you get the feature round, while other games usually give you both.
You can play Aladdin's Wishes for real money or for free, at casinos that use the RTG software.

Q: How to properly setup Keycloak redirects behind reverse proxy with SpringSecurity I have a Spring based application, which uses keycloak-spring-security-adapter to handle the Keycloak specific stuff. This server is deployed on same machine as the Keycloak server, and both of them are running behind Nginx reverse proxy.

The Spring app has in its keycloak.json configuration the correct proxy-url. The Keycloak server has the the frontendUrl set to the correct proxy-url. When testing on localhost without the reverse proxy everything works as expected.
The issue is when deployed with the reverse-proxy in front. The Spring application runs the OIDC service discovery during startup. But to do this, is uses the public URL. This fails, because the on the backend side, the reverse proxy is not in DNS record.
How to setup the keycloak-spring-security-adapter in such a way, that for the backend requests it uses local URL. But for the logins that are done through the JSP pages in the browser, it uses the proxied URL?

.....and wheat was not a staple food until after the potato famine of 1847. The majority of patients suffering from gluten-induced enteropathy (coeliac disease) are of tissue type HLA B8. The incidence of coeliac disease in southwest Ireland, particularly Galway, is amongst the highest in Europe, and there is correspondingly a high prevalence of HLA B8 tissue type. It has been suggested that when populations consume large quantities of gluten from wheat cereals the susceptible HLA B8 individuals develop disease and are at a reproductive disadvantage compared with those not genetically predisposed to the disease, leading to a reduced proportion of B8 individuals in subsequent generations.

Federal Fisheries Council Has A Long History Of Secrecy
Special Projects Reeling It In
Part 1: Conflicts, Lax Oversight Shroud This Secretive Fisheries Fund
A federal fisheries oversight council has stymied inquiries by congressmen, journalists and others over the past few years.
Part 2: Little-Used Boat Ramps, An Abandoned Marketplace, Rusting Ice Machines
In American Samoa, some locals say the Wespac fisheries fund projects have been a waste of money. They have more hope for a marina expansion currently in the works.
Part 3: Federal Fisheries Council Has A Long History Of Secrecy
Wespac has for years resisted releasing information, fighting public records requests, lawsuits and even congressional inquiries.
By Patti Epler, Nathan Eagle
Scroll to Read
In 2006, more than 100 Native Hawaiians concerned with traditional and customary fishing practices gathered at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu.
The conference — called a puwalu — was designed to give Native Hawaiians a stronger voice in fishery policy in nearshore areas managed by the state.
But it was the federal fisheries manager — the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council — and its longtime executive director Kitty Simonds that organized and paid for Native Hawaiian participation in the puwalu.
The gathering and several others like it over the next year ultimately resulted in the creation of the Aha Moku Advisory Committee, put in place by the Legislature in 2007. The group, whose members are appointed by the governor, advises the state Board of Land and Natural Resources from the perspective of Native Hawaiian knowledge, built over generations, to balance land and ocean resources and sustain healthy communities.
More recently, Wespac has been behind the formation of a new statewide group, this one called the Association of Aha Moku Councils.
A Civil Beat Investigation
Monday: The limited number of records released to Civil Beat and members of Congress by federal officials over the past two years shows that money is being used to support projects that benefit council members and political allies.
Tuesday: A reporting trip to American Samoa reveals some of the projects paid for by the fund have been failures or are floundering while a new dock for longliners appears to be well-received by fishing interests and local government officials.
Wednesday: Wespac has a long history of resisting the release of financial information about its operations, underscoring the need for a formal federal investigation.
But when Suzanne Case, the head of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, tried to find out why Wespac was mucking around in what is clearly state policy, she got stonewalled by Simonds.
And Case is even on the council. She is the state government representative and is a voting member.
Yet multiple letters to Simonds over the past two years have turned up little beyond generalities when it comes to what Wespac is doing to organize residents — and Native Hawaiians in particular — to weigh in on state fisheries management and land use policies.
How much money has Wespac spent on this particular effort? Case asked. Where has the money come from, who is it going to and what's it being used for?
"I have written to Kitty Simonds three times to ask her 'what is she spending on aha moku,' and three times she has not answered that question," Case said in a recent interview.
It's an all too familiar story when it comes to Wespac and Simonds. The council has long had a reputation for secrecy and blocking information about its operation, especially when it comes to its budget and spending.
In August, Simonds finally wrote back to Case. She acknowledged that Wespac had spent about $700,000 since 2006 on the puwalus, the aha moku organizing effort and associated costs.
Suzanne Case, head of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, wants to know why Wespac has become involved in state fishery issues and how much money it is spending on the effort.
But she sidestepped questions on the source of the funds other than to describe the money generally as coming from "cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of Commerce and numerous other sources." Similarly, she provided no detail on where the money was going beyond "vendors, service providers, contractors and meeting participants."
Case says she does not consider that an adequate response to the questions. And she is troubled by the fact that a federal official is clearly dodging a legitimate inquiry from the state.
State resource managers are worried that the nearshore fisheries — particularly bottomfish — are in significant decline. The 12 designated bottomfish areas have been closed for decades to let the stocks recover but DLNR, under pressure from Wespac, recently agreed to open up four areas as a test to see if a sustainable fishery could be rebuilt.
But instead of waiting to see how the test areas do, Simonds has been pushing on the federal level for the reopening of all bottomfish areas to commercial fishing. At the same time, Wespac's active involvement — including financing the aha moku process — suggests a renewed ground-level effort to influence state policy.
For Case, that is stepping over the line.
Case said the original Aha Moku Advisory Committee has turned out to be a very good thing for the state. It has helped state resource managers make meaningful decisions with input and information they might not otherwise have had.
Longtime Wespac Executive Director Kitty Simonds has a reputation for stonewalling when it comes to releasing information, especially spending and budget details.
"My concern is to ensure more local communities and local fishers have a full voice in that process and that they are not influenced by outside interests" including Wespac, she said.
She wants to see the detailed accounting of Wespac's spending on the aha moku to make sure the money is not being used to improperly influence state policy.
Federal law prohibits Wespac as well as other federal agencies from spending taxpayer money on lobbying and political influence. A 2009 General Accounting Office review of Wespac was conducted because of concerns that Wespac was lobbying on other issues, including opposing the creation and expansion of marine preserves and monuments.
The report didn't find improper lobbying but made it clear that Wespac could state its position on issues only when asked or invited to participate, not initiate action on its own.
"So why is Wespac facilitating the planning process" for community discussions of state policy, Case says. "We don't know the answer."
Questions And Conflicts
Case's concerns over lack of transparency and accountability mirror questions being raised by U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz and U.S. Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii and Gregorio Sablan of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. (Ed Case is Suzanne Case's brother.)
The members of Congress are particularly interested in the Western Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Fund, a separate account that is controlled by Simonds and the council. For the past decade, the fund has paid for numerous projects in Hawaii, the CNMI, Guam and American Samoa but with little oversight or accountability of what the money is being spent on.
It's unclear whether money from the fund has been used by Wespac for aha moku activities.
Simonds was unavailable to answer questions for this series despite numerous requests over the past few weeks.
Patricia Tummons, Environment Hawaii founder, has followed Wespac for 25 years.
But her reluctance to release financial information about Wespac and its operations goes back decades.
Environment Hawaii founder Patricia Tummons has been writing about Wespac for 25 years. The nonprofit subscriber-only newsletter has provided the most diligent coverage of Wespac of any news organization, including occasional investigative reports that chronicle exhausting public records battles with Simonds over the budget and spending.
"There's a procedural problem with obtaining information — and that's huge — and basically it goes back to Kitty Simonds," Tummons says.
Tummons is convinced Simonds uses federal money — including the Sustainable Fisheries Fund — to provide contracts for her supporters on the council and political allies, a concern she's addressed in the publication. In return, Simonds remains in a highly paid job — nearly $190,000 a year — a position she's held "longer than I've been doing environmental writing," Tummons noted.
While Simonds does work with local officials in the territories to develop priorities, Tummons says, "her friends get the contracts."
One example of that, she said, is a pier in Guam where then-council chair Manny Duenas was president of the Guam Fishermen's Cooperative Association. Money from the Sustainable Fisheries Fund was used to build the pier.
"Manny wanted it, Manny got it," Tummons said, adding that "no one uses it."
Duenas' son, Michael, the general manager of the Guam Fishermen's Cooperative Association, now has a seat on the council. He is also a member of the council's executive and budget committee that plays a role in deciding which projects will move forward.
Tummons was so frustrated with Simonds that in 2013 she wrote an editorial calling for her to go — "Goodbye, Kitty: It's Time for Wespac Director to Step Down."
"That Simonds has managed to appropriate so much power reveals a flaw in the very structure of the regional fishery management councils and the law setting them up," she wrote.
Still Waiting For Budget Info
A search of Environment Hawaii's archives shows that stonewalling on financial information is a pattern that continues to repeat itself. The news outlet has had to wait months and even years for information on everything from Wespac's operating budget to travel records to meeting expenses.
In May 2009, it reported on an 18-month effort to obtain information on Wespac's role in the initial puwalu. The news outlet eventually was able to report that Wespac spent more than $300,000 on five puwalu, including a paid coordinator, travel expenses for dozens of people to attend and other costs.
Based in Honolulu, Wespac has 13 voting members who manage more than 1.5 million square miles of ocean.
Earlier that year, three environmental groups had been forced to sue Wespac, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Commerce Department to get information on federal budgets, contracts and grants. The lawsuit came after the groups — the LOST Fish Coalition, Conservation Council for Hawaii and KAHEA — had been waiting on a response to an information request filed two years earlier.
That was also the same year Simonds led the effort to remove much of the council's information from its website including meeting minutes and financial records. At her urging the council voted to make information that had been on the website available only through FOIA. The vote was done without public input. Only the state representative on the council objected.
"Wespac Erects More Hurdles in Path of Public Seeking Council Information," Environment Hawaii's headline read.
Civil Beat has been seeking records on the Sustainable Fisheries Fund since May 2017. Since then, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees Wespac's funding and federal grant process, has made available numerous records on Wespac and its budget but little information that shows spending detail from the fund. It wasn't until September 2018 that NOAA shared a limited number of contract files involving the fund.
Michael Tosatto, the NOAA administrator who deals most closely with Simonds and Wespac, said it is NOAA's responsibility to release the information but that the agency has run into delays getting records from Wespac. At least twice over the past two years, NOAA has acknowledged delays and asked Civil Beat if it even still wants the records.
Earlier this year, in April, NOAA and Wespac finally released pages from a ledger that show what checks Wespac has issued. Civil Beat asked for an electronic version of the ledger covering the period from 2012 through 2017. NOAA shared 50 pages from January 2012 through September 2013, but released it as a photocopied PDF in which important information — like the column that notes the purpose of the check — is obscured.
Civil Beat is still waiting for a readable version as well as the remainder of the ledger, now requested through the current year, along with more contract files from 2012 through the present.
'Longstanding Pattern Of Deflection And Obfuscation'
On May 1, Sablan, the congressman from CNMI, and Ed Case of Hawaii, sent Simonds a list of detailed questions about Wespac's management practices and finances, setting a May 16 deadline for a response. They wanted to know about the health of the fisheries and sustainability, about the quota-sharing arrangements, about the council's makeup representing only fishing interests, about Wespac's political position on marine monuments and endangered species, about international fisheries laws and enforcement, and about Wespac's lobbying practices, among other things.
Simonds finally sent a 44-page response on Monday, the day Civil Beat reported the congressmen were unhappy that she had not replied.

Case wanted to know why Wespac was playing a role in state fisheries management and asked for examples of Wespac's involvement in state issues. He also asked for budget and financial details on those efforts.
Simonds insisted that federal law requires that state fisheries be jointly managed by the state and the feds, including the nearshore bottomfish areas. She briefly named a number of federal scientific research projects on coral and fish stocks but provided no details.
She didn't mention Wespac's financing of the aha moku meetings. And she provided no budget or financial details on anything.
Simonds also provided little information about the Western Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Fund. She sidestepped questions about audits required by Congress, and said the council "takes no position" on whether some contracts issued by Wespac might pose conflicts of interest.
When asked to provide copies of all contracts entered into by the fund for the past 10 years along with documentation of money paid out of the fund, Simonds replied: "Request acknowledged."
Sablan and Case said Tuesday that Simonds' responses fall far short of what they expected and do little to shed light on Wespac's operations, including how it administers and oversees the Sustainable Fisheries Fund.

"The answers that we received Monday from Kitty Simonds continue a longstanding pattern of deflection and obfuscation in response to legitimate Congressional oversight inquiry as to how public policy is carried out and how monies are being spent," Sablan said in a statement. "The responses lead to more questions than answers; NOAA and WESPAC officials are federal employees and need to be accountable for their stewardship of dollars and our ocean resources."
Case was even more blunt in his assessment of Simonds' response. He called the answers "a carefully crafted circling of the wagons in defense of the longstanding status quo as opposed to any appreciation or real consideration of various concerns expressed over many years now."
He pointed out that Wespac's view that it is broadly authorized to involve itself in state fishery management issues was never intended under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which created Wespac and seven other regional fishery councils in 1976.
The council is clearly involved in lobbying that is prohibited by federal law despite Simonds' efforts to define Wespac's activities as simply providing information, he said. The lack of transparency around funding and expenditures is compounding the problem, he added.
"Wespac continues to evade any real transparency as to its operations and finances, as evidenced again by its refusal to commit to providing the Committee with copies of recent Western Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Fund contracts and payments," he said.
Case said he's also now questioning not only Wespac's management, "but up the chain to the National Marine Fisheries Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of Commerce."
U.S. Rep. Ed Case thinks it is time to look at NOAA's oversight of Wespac as well as the fishery council itself.

"I have generally had no real concerns with NMFS and NOAA, but something is awry here if Wespac is essentially being allowed to operate independent of any administrative oversight," he said.
Next steps, he said, include consulting with Sablan but then meeting with officials at NOAA and letting them know how serious the congressmen are about getting the information they are seeking. It's also time for a larger review of federal fisheries policy and the MSA "and whether another direction focused on ocean conservation is better suited to save our oceans."

Q: How to use SplitPipeline with o365 cmdlets I have been trying to check the mailboxes for a specific list of users (about 14k users) because it is possible that a malicious rule has been created.
I created a very simple PowerShell script to achieve that but obviously it took more than 12 hours to finish. I have found a multi-threading option to process all this data: SplitPipeline, but I don't even know how to start.
After installing and importing the module and logging into O365, I'm trying this (please not that I'm just starting in this powershell world, I'm not an expert):
$file = Get-Content  userlist.txt
$outputFile = "outputFile.txt"

$data = @{
    Count = $file.Count
    Done = 0
    }

$file | Split-Pipeline -Count 10 -Variable data {process{
[System.Threading.Monitor]::Enter($data)
try
{
    $done = ++$data.Done
}
finally
{
    [System.Threading.Monitor]::Exit($data)
}
Write-Progress -Activity "Done $done" -Status Processing -PercentComplete (100*$done/$data.Count)

$User2Check = $_
Write-Host "Checking $User2Check"

get-mailbox $User2Check | Select identity

}} | Set-Content $outputFile

The result is the typical message: The term 'get-mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, it is like SplitPipeline is not aware I'm logged against O365.
Do you have any ideas?

A: You have to understand how Split-Pipeline works, it runs in its own workspace. Unfortunately one cannot call/use functions and variables specified outside split-pipeline run space. You can use the -Variable -Function switches provided by Split-pipeline, but keep in mind that in the case of functions, any global variable used by xyz function you are trying to call cannot see the global variable.
Indoor case, get-mailbox is null because Split-pipe does not know about it, you will have to include the model and create a new connection to office in order for the get-mailbox cmdlet to work.

Suzanne Smith, boss of major Leicester licensing firm PPL PRS, has stepped down
She had run the business, which employs almost 300 people in Mercury Place, since April 2017
Tom PegdenBusiness Editor
Suzanne Smith at the PPL PRS launch event in 2018
The boss of one of Leicester's biggest new businesses has stepped down.
Suzanne Smith, managing director of the public performance joint venture PPL PRS Ltd, has decided to step down from her role.
She was appointed in April 2017 and oversaw the the business when it finally went live the following year.
Since then it has grown to 283 staff and is still recruiting.
Based in Mercury Place – the former Leicester Mercury building – it was formed by licensing companies PPL and PRS for Music, to make the process of collecting music royalty payments simpler.
Christine Geissmar, chief operating officer at PPL, has stepped in as interim managing director to lead the business until a new managing director is appointed.
Peter Leathem, chief executive officer of PPL
PPL chief executive Peter Leathem said: "Suzanne, with her drive and energy, has been invaluable in building the foundations of PPL PRS Ltd over the last two years.
"We are grateful to her for the commitment and dedication she has shown to this initiative to simplify access to the licences businesses need when they play or perform music and wish her every success in the future."
PRS for Music chief executive Robert Ashcroft said: "We are indebted to Suzanne for her leadership both before and after the launch of the business and look forward to building on the foundations she has created, to communicating the value that music brings to businesses and to growing the royalty revenues on which our respective memberships depend."
The joint venture is the biggest organisation of its kind in the world, created to provide customers with a streamlined service, a single point of contact, and a single licence covering both companies' respective rights.

The new joint licence called TheMusicLicence brought to an end the need for customers to purchase separate PPL and PRS for Music licences from each individual organisation.
Ms Smith spent 18 years at NatWest after leaving school, in 1991 becoming an assistant manager at one of the two main branches in Nottingham.
She then helped launch a regional call centre.
She became the third person to join Capital One in 1998, when that business came to the UK, becoming a senior manager in Nottingham. She was there for 11 years.
The business is based in Mercury Place, Leicester
She moved to consumer data business Experian in 2009 as director of operations, later joining the UK executive team as managing director for customer experience.
She was headhunted by PPL PRS in December 2016, joining the following year.
The parent companies chose Leicester because of its cheap rents, talent pool and transport links to the capital.
In 2018 Ms Smith told the Leicester Mercury she was attracted to the role by the unique opportunity to help shape a totally new business.

Q: Resetting Locked Customize Mode At one time we locked ArcGIS's customization mode (in an attempt to make the toolbars stop moving). Since then we have forgotten a password. The customize mode is shared through all MXDs, so saving a copy of the MXD or even creating a new MXD does not work.
Is there a way to remove the customize mode password?

A: I hope the following explanations are valid for the locking, too.
Generally there are at least 3 possibilities to save customization in ArcMap. The first is to save them in the MXD itself. Therefore you must check 'save all customization to document'. Due to the fact that all of your MXDs are locked I would guess you did not check this option. The second one is that ArcMap automatically saves settings in the so called normal.mxt. I believe that this had happened in your case. The good thing is that you can remove or better rename the file. ArcMap then loads the standard settings at startup and creates this file new. Please note that ALL your customizations are reseted (including the locking). If this was not your solution just replace the newly created normal.mxt with your backuped one. The third possibility is storing settings in the registry. In this case, I can't help you for the moment.
The normal.mxt can be found in the following location. Maybe you have to show hidden files in your folder settings: C:\Users\'username'\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.X\ArcMap\Templates\Normal.mxt

Just Checking In – 30 Day Blogging Challenge, Day 8
By: Christopher Lynk|Published on: July 8, 2017|Categories: Blog| 0 comments
Taking a break from posting pictures of Dez and jumping right into the juicy bits of picayune per diem.
I caught Spider-Man; Homecoming today. I've been pretty excited about this movie ever since Tom Holland's take on Peter Parker in Civil War. It was a ton of fun, and had some surprisingly tense moments that stood out from the typical super hero movie structure. The movie would have stood up fine on it's own, but the fact that it's so deeply woven into the MCU without feeling cheap or watered down was icing on the cake.
I finally saw Arrival earlier this week. I had heard good things and wasn't able to catch it when it was in theaters last year. I had heard it was a smart, quiet film about aliens who land on Earth and throughout the movie we attempt to communicate with them. I guess they weren't wrong, but I didn't think it was that great. I'm glad I saw it, but it left me feeling unsatisfied, similar to how Contact with Jodie Foster made me feel. For those of you who don't remember, Contact was about us detecting signals from aliens. After three hours of build up, the aliens turned out to be Jodie Foster's dead father. Sorry, that was a spoiler, but I just saved you the trouble. Arrival let me down too. Nobody gained anything. I'll try not to spoil it, but apparently Amy Adams' character gets a special gift, or capability, as she learns how to communicate with the aliens. That said, she was using her newfound ability since the very first scene in the movie, so it probably wasn't all that special. Watch it again and discuss it among yourselves. If you can explain away this plot hole without sounding like you are high, then I'll take it all back.
Also, I discovered Ronald Jenkees on Spotify. Check this out for some schway tunes.
One more thing that I can definitely appreciate; Marc Summers reveals what Nickelodeon slime is made out of.
Interesting Fact: In elementary school we did a project where everyone was supposed to write a letter to a celebrity. Most kids picked people like Michael Jordon or John Elway, but my celebrity of choice was Marc Summers (this was about a year before I discovered "Weird Al" Yankovic). I wrote a letter to Mr. Summers, letting him know that I wanted to be on Double Dare or What Would You Do. He sent me a signed 8×10 and wrote a letter back. Fuck yeah, Marc Summers. The kids who picked Michael Jordon didn't get shit.

\section{Introduction}

For over hundred years, scientists, above all, physicists have tried to
understand the complexity of nature, by decomposing it into simple processes
that can be dealt with by simple theories.  This strategy is often referred to
as
``Ockham's razor".  It was regarded as
ideal, in modern science, to describe a system in terms of a small number of
parameters, variables, equations, etc.  In a strict sense, however, the
reduction to a system with a small number of degrees of freedom is
not always possible.  Then,
one may introduce a ``noise" term instead, in order to take
residual degrees of freedom into account.

In statistical physics, this reduction was successful because of
the introduction of appropriate order parameters.
Even when a system has many degrees of
freedom, it can often well be described by a macroscopic order parameter
with a corresponding noise term, as can, for example be seen
in equilibrium
statistical mechanics, linear-response theory, system-size (omega)
expansion \cite{van-Kampen,KMK}, and slaving principle \cite{Haken}.

A related paradigm is the use of a ``mode".  Here a system is assumed to be
represented by the superposition of some modes, like the
Fouirer modes.  In solid-state physics
these are attributed to some excitation, termed as ``---on's".
The use of modes is powerful as long as the system can be
approximated by a linear one.
In dynamical systems, it is also successful, even
if the system is nonlinear, as long as it is not chaotic.  It can be
employed, for example, in quasiperiodic motion on a torus and in
the representation by solitons.

The {\sl reductionists'} pictures have been challenged by the discovery
of chaos.  First, the amplification of a tiny perturbation in chaos implies
that
the separation
between microscopic and macroscopic levels is no longer possible.
Second, the picture of ``modes" is not straightforwardly applicable to chaos:
Even if a system has just three degrees of freedom,
it can implicitly include continuously many modes.
For example, a  chaotic system cannot be represented by a finite number of
Fourier modes.
A one-to-one correspondence of simply chosen coordinates
(such as Fourier modes) to original
variables is no longer valid here.  Complexity in
grammatical rules to characterize chaos is discussed in detail by
{\bf  Crutchfield} in the present volume.

Another challenge to the traditional picture can be found
in a system called spin glass,
which originated in
the statistical mechanics of spin system with random interaction \cite{SG}.
In relation with the phase transition problem,  physicists searched for
order parameter(s).  However, a detailed theoretical
analysis shows that the order in the low-temperature phase is represented
only by a functional of order parameters, rather than
a finite number of them.
Indeed, in the neural network model based on the statistical
mechanics of nonhomogeneous spin systems ( often called as Hopfield model), a
one-to-one correspondence
between an interaction code and an attractor is no longer valid,
when the number of stored input patterns is larger than a certain threshold.
In spin glasses, the correspondence between an interaction and an attractor
( or a thermodynamically metastable state) is highly complex,
while, the sample dependence (i.e., dependence on the choice
of couplings) remains finite even in the thermodynamic limit.

Thus the one-to-one correspondence between states and representations
is challenged statically by spin glasses and dynamically by chaos.  We need
some framework to deal with the dynamical change of relationships
among elements.

\section{Logic for dynamic many-to-many correspondences}

Let a system be composed of many dynamic elements,
and chaotic motion be assumed in the system.  Then any
perturbation put in one element can be transmitted to other elements with
amplification.  In this situation, a chain of causal relationships
can bring about unexpected results \cite{Tsuda-book,Kawanabe}.
(A Japanese proverb for  such a `strong' causal connection is
``If the wind blows strongly then (finally) bath tubs sell well"
\cite{Tsuda-book,Kawanabe}.) The reasoning is the following:
1. If the wind blows strongly, the number of blind  people increases
due to the dust entering in their eyes.
2. If so, they try to earn  money by playing  a `shamisen' ( a
traditional Japanese musical instrument made of cat's skin).
3. If so, the demand for `shamisen' increases. 4. If so, cats are
hunted recklessly. 5. If so, cats extremely decrease in population.
6. If so, mice increase in population. 7. If so, (wooden) tubs are
gnawed by mice. 8. If so, tubs are sold well.

One of the authors(KK) encountered such situations when working with
coupled map lattices \cite{CML} or networks of chaotic elements \cite{KK-GCM}.
In a coupled map lattice with chaotic dynamics,
a tiny perturbation at a lattice point is amplified
to nearby elements.
A macroscopic order corresponding to the dissipative
structure\cite{Prigogine} can appear, but again be destroyed by the chaotic
dynamics until a next ordered structure appears.
In a network of chaotic elements,
clusters of synchronized oscillations may appear.
Identical elements can differentiate
due to the orbital instability in chaotic dynamics.
This mechanism, called (dynamical) clustering, is commonly seen
in globally coupled dynamical systems. Futhermore, the members of a
strongly correlated group change in time,
leading to a ceaseless change of relationships (see  {\bf Kaneko} in the
present volume).  Clustering and collective behaviors can
also be seen in globally coupled oscillators as
studied by {\bf Nakagawa}.  The synchronization between external (limb's)
and internal (neural) oscillations is essential to the model of
bipedal locomotion by {\bf Taga} in this volume.

Besides in chaos research \cite{Aizawa}, the use of one-to-one
correspondence has been challenged in many branches of science.
In brain science, the hypothesis of a grandmother cell has been
doubted.  Such doubts have led to the notion of a distributed representation
of information, and the research of
neural networks related with the spin glass theory.  However, such challenges
remain at a static level.  In contrast with the static logic, the necessity of
a dynamic logic has been postulated by
Malsburg, Vaadia, Aertsen, Dinse, Freeman, one of the authors (IT), and so on
( see the papers by {\bf Tsuda}, {\bf Aertsen}, {\bf Dinse}, and
{\bf Freeman} in the present volume).

In an ecological system the necessity of a logic {\sl that grasps a
complex system without reduction to an ensemble of simple elements}
has been stressed by Elton \cite{Elton}. Kawanabe has pointed out the
necessity of a logic to represent the above Japanese proverb.
Indeed it is known that in some ecological systems there
are  keystone species, a removal of which strongly damages the whole
ecosystem \footnotemark.

\footnotetext{This does not mean that such ecosystems are dominated by
(few) keystone species.  A role of a keystone species
implicitly emerges within an ecological network, through the amplification of
tiny causes as illustrated in the Japanese proverb.}

Ikegami and one of the authors(KK) have studied a population dynamics model
with many types of hosts and parasites, which are subjected to mutations.
In a weak coupling
regime, a one-to-one relationship between a host and a parasite holds, while
dynamic many-to-many relationships between pairs of hosts and parasites
emerge in a strong coupling regime, together with the maintenance of
a high mutation rate.
We note that the resulting ecology is dynamically stable, sustained
by a high-dimensional chaotic state, in contrast with the
strong instability in a low-dimensional chaotic population dynamics.
Some theory for dynamic many-to-many correspondences
is required to allow for the diversity in an ecosystem.

In the present proceedings, {\bf Yomo} presents the dynamic clustering
of E-coli, bacteria.  Even if these bacteria have identical DNA, they
dynamically differentiate.  The one-to-one correspondence between
a genotype and a phenotype is invalid here.
A novel mechanism for the differentiation
of cells is proposed, based on the idea of dynamical
clustering (see {\bf Kaneko and Yomo}).

Let us recall the history of Japanese literature.
About three hundred years ago, it was popular to have
ceremonies during which  Haiku's (short poems) were recited.
The ceremony staged poets who made poems in succession,
following the previous poem by somebody else.  A poet ``interprets" the
previous poem by him(her)self. This interpretation, of course,
may be different from the original poet's.  Thus
mis-interpretation is enhanced successively, but as a whole
the sequence of poems forms some art more aesthetic than that created by
a single poet.  This process consists of the dynamic amplification of
small deviations.  ``Collective" art at a higher level emerges
as an ensemble of poems.  One might think that this process is just
a kind of bottom-up approach to collective art.
This is not necessarily true.  To address this problem, let us
re-examine the top-down and bottom-up approaches.

\section{Top-down, bottom-up, and emergence}

There have been long debates between the top-down and bottom-up
proponents in artificial intelligence and neural networks.
In both approaches, it is assumed implicitly that the top level is
represented by a few degrees of freedom, while
the bottom level may involve a huge number of  degrees  of freedom.
In the bottom-up approach some kind of ``order parameter"
constructed from the lower level is viewed as a representation at a higher
level, related with some macroscopic behavior. In the top-down approach
only a few instructions are sent as messages to lower-level elements.

As a natural compromise between these approaches, the
inclusion of a weak feedback between the top/bottom levels
has been proposed.
An example is given by a simulation of ants with pheromone \cite{ant}.
In the simulation, an ant emits pheromone when it has food, while
other ants are attracted by pheromone through their motion.
A collective field of pheromone is  formed by the ants' motion.
Since the dynamics of a lower-level unit (an ant's motion)
is governed by the higher-level dynamics ( collective field of pheromone),
this scheme is
analogous with the Prigogine's dissipative structure \cite{Prigogine}
or Haken's slaving principle \cite{Haken}.

In these approaches the relationships between elements
are fixed.  Although it may be possible to introduce
nontrivial dynamics (e.g., in the ants' motion or in the field of
pheromone), the behaviors of each element are passive and
totally susceptible to a higher-level.

Most papers in the present proceedings adopt
a different approach in the following senses. First, the top level is not
necessarily
represented by a few degrees of freedom; second, the relationships between
elements at a lower level can often change dynamically. At  first glance,
the first point may just look like a complication.  This
is not necessarily so.  Even in the midst of highly disorganized states,
ordered motion governed by a few degrees of freedom often
emerges, which, however, does not last for ever due to the second point
(the dynamic change of relationships). Again, high-dimensional motion
comes back, until another structure emerges.  This mechanism, called
{\sl chaotic itinerancy} \cite{KK-GCM,Ikeda,Tsuda-CI,Davis}, can replace the
views
of the top-down and the bottom-up
approaches.  In a network of chaotic elements, for example,
the order at the top level is destroyed by a chaotic revolt against the
slaving principle \cite{KK-GCM}, in contrast with passive elements
in traditional approaches. In the dynamic neural network model by one of the
authors (IT), the chaotic itinerancy leads to a spontaneous recall of memories
\cite{Tsuda-CI}.  A similar dynamical behavior is
also observed in real brain activities.
In the present proceedings, this topic is studied in the papers by
{\bf Tsuda}, {\bf Aertsen}, {\bf Dinse}, {\bf Freeman}, and {\bf Nozawa}.

In the population dynamics model mentioned in
\S 2 \cite{homeo}, the higher-level corresponds to the collective dynamics
for survival as an ensemble of many types.  This higher level emerges from the
bottom level, but
it is not necessarily represented by a few degrees of freedom.
An ecosystem like {\bf Ray}'s TIERRA, with species of programs, is
not necessarily represented by a few sets of features.
Species with different properties appear successively
in a specific condition.  In the paper by {\bf Palmer},
a stock market is formed as a higher level.

The term ``emergence" is often used as spontaneous appearance
of an upper level description
without explicit instruction for it \cite{Polanyi}.
If the upper level is  represented by a few order parameters,
the term ``emergence", in this
case, is just a rephrase of a dissipative structure
in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, or a  collective behavior in
equilibrium phase transitions.
When the upper level is not represented
by a few degrees of freedom, however, the emergence is no
longer trivial.

The term emergence is often used when the behavior found in a computer
experiment is not written in a model explicitly as an algorithm.
In order to be an ``emergent" behavior, an explanation of it
from the implemented program should require at least as
much as the information as the direct computation.
Such ``wishes" for the construction of emergence
may not be rigorously accomplished as long as one uses a finite-state machine
(e.g., digital computer) for a finite time interval,
since the simulated behavior is obtained by a completely controlled program,
with a finite amount of information.  As long as all the information
is finite, it is difficult to define a behavior ``unexpected"
from the implementation.
Thus many people have tried to avoid this term in the workshop,
although we  tacitly feel that
``emergence" is necessary for the understanding of
the dynamics in brains and in biological
evolution.

There can be two possibilities to remedy the above impossibility of
emergence.
One is the assumption of
the use of infinite cells or tapes and/or a possible use of infinite
time step computations.  In connection with the undecidability of the halting
problem, it may be possible to have emergence by taking an
infinite-step limit.

The other is the introduction of uncontrollability
up to an infinite precision.  Let us recall the Japanese proverb;
given the strong wind, the outcome that the tub is sold well is
rather unexpected.  To explain this process, we have to follow each step of the
reasoning, which itself is easily affected by a small error.
The outcome, in this case, can be emergent behavior.
By the introduction of an analog computer with chaotic dynamics and/or
error in it, one may thus expect the occurrence of emergence. We note that
notions of computability in a real-number machine, discussed
by \cite{Blum,Moore} in connection with chaos, may be essential to
explore this possibility.

Another way for the introduction of uncontrollability may be
the introduction of a quantum mechanical computer,
as is discussed by {\bf Conrad}.

Even in our digital computer of finite resources, there can be some hope.
Chaos, for example, cannot be simulated rigorously by
any digital machine:  As long as a state in the machine is
finite, the dynamics becomes periodic (Poincare recurrence),
finally.  Still, we can  grasp the features of chaos
(by taking the limit of infinitely many states) in a digital
computer.  In a similar manner,
emergence may be defined by taking the limit of infinitely many states
from our digital machine.
To understand the nature of this limit, we need to make more efforts to
construct a model with some kind of emergence, and also
some mathematical studies on the relationships between digital and other
computers.

\section{ From a Descriptive to Constructive approach of Nature}

Structural stability \cite{Smale}
had been presented and recognized as a necessary
condition of a real model, before the significance of chaos was appreciated.
On the other hand, for a system with structural instability, a slight change of
the
model may lead to behaviors with different characteristics from real
solution's.
This is why such a system is believed not to be
a good model for nature. However, structural instability can
widely be seen in a nonlinear system including chaos.  For example,
chaos in the logistic map $x'=ax(1-x)$ cannot exist in an open interval
in the parameter space $a$. This means that a map with some fixed parameter
has no topological equivalence in any neighborhood of that map, thus implying
structural instability.

Chaos may have  another transcendental nature.
In some cases with non-uniform hyperbolicity, chaos may lack
the pseudo-orbit-tracing property\cite{POTP,POTP2}. If so, this
means that individual
orbits in chaos cannot be traced by experiments or by numerical
simulations.
It is still questionable if a whole attractor, i.e., a strange attractor
itself can be traced in experiments.
 At least one counter-example exists against the assertion that
a strange attractor itself is traced. In some chaotic systems
such as the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction map,
chaos looses characteristics such as topological and measure-theoretic
quantities,
affected by noise, and consequently order that
does not exist in any neighborhood of the original system appears
\cite{Matsumoto and Tsuda}.
A drastic change appears in the case of somewhat large noise, but the
calculation
of the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy implies
the creation of different chaotic systems even in case
of infinitely small perturbations.
This so called noise-induced order \cite{Matsumoto and Tsuda}
has been interpreted in terms of an observational mismatch between the system's
inherent observation window, i.e. Markov partition, and the external
observation window forced by noise.

A complete description of chaos needs an infinite amount of information.
By a slight change of coding, in the case of a chaotic system,
the description of the system as, for instance, a finite automaton can change
drastically.

{\bf Crutchfield} has dealt with chaos as a class of various levels of
finite automata.
The input information is hierarchically classified as a language
accepted by a machine
that is constituted
of chaos with a finite observation window and observed symbol sequences.
Then, chaos appears as a kind of a finite automaton according to the respective
observation window.  One of the authors(KK) also discussed the
dynamics of  a coding scheme in a network of chaotic elements, where
the coding tree of observed symbol sequence changes forever \cite{KK-GCM}.
Any difference in the observation precision
leads to a crucial change of the dynamics \cite{KK-GCMINF}.

Thus chaos manifests itself in various forms, depending sensitively on
its description.
By these observations, one of the authors (IT)
has introduced the term ``descriptive instability",
although further studies are necessary for its mathematical
definition.

Noise-induced order, a coding tree in the network of chaotic elements,
and Crutchfield's $\epsilon$ -machine have introduced novel viewpoints with
regard
to the `observation' or `description' in complex systems.
Thereby, one may notice the need of a more extended concept than structural
(in)stability in order to capture legitimately all the features of
complex systems. Here, what we need is not a concept representing
the system, but a concept about an `observer' describing the system.
Noise-induced order means that a change of the description of chaos
brings about a distinct phase of chaos due to the ``descriptive instability"
of chaos.

The notion of ``descriptive instability" raises a question about
the validity of a descriptive way of modeling.
Since a one-to-one correspondence is not possible for
each elementary process, a descriptive approach that always accompanies
analysis is not always
relevant for the understanding of a complex system.

In physics, we are used to adopt a descriptive
approach;  for example, an equation at a macroscopic level
( like the Navier-Stokes equation) is approximately
derived from a microscopic level (like the Newtonian equation of
many particles), and then numerically simulated.
Conventionally, a model equation in physics is believed to have a one-to-one
correspondence with the phenomenon concerned.

Studies on chaos, however, may lead one to question this
traditional picture of nature.  Let us take the example of chaos in
fluid dynamics.
If one carries out a splendid numerical simulation on sets of
equations with the velocity and temperature fields ( e.g., Navier-Stokes
equation with buoyancy and heat), one possibly can get the same oscillatory
behavior
of rolls as in experiments. Does this success give any better intuition
on the origin of this strange oscillation than that
provided by a simple chaotic system?   The authors think
that the answer is ``No" for most scientists who know about chaos.
One of the most important lessons
from chaos lies in that it has opened the road to a qualitative dynamical
viewpoint.  Low-dimensional chaos can provide a universal mechanism
underlying the onset of turbulence.

By developing further the viewpoint of chaos, the importance of
a constructive, rather than a descriptive, approach  has been pointed out.
An example of such a constructive approach is the coupled map
lattice \cite{CML},
proposed by one of the authors (KK) for the studies of
spatiotemporal chaos, pattern dynamics, and so on.
The model, constructed by combining some basic procedures (
such as local chaos, diffusion, flow, $\cdots$),
cannot be derived from a
first-principle equation like in conventional physics, but it
still has a strong predictive power
for novel phenomenology classes in complex dynamical systems.

A model cannot be exactly the same as nature herself anyway.
By ``descriptive instability" there may not be a well-defined
quantitative ``distance" between a model and nature.  Thus a descriptive model
based on microscopic knowledge is not necessarily quantitatively very close
to the phenomena under consideration.  Even if a descriptive model
happens to be
quantitatively close to nature, in a complex system, it
is in principle intractable to check
detailed correspondence between the model and nature,
numerically or experimentally.
Furthemore we often do not need the detailed information of nature
which is sensitive to the details of the models.
Rather, we are more interested in universal aspects robust against
changes of the model.
In other words,
we go up to a higher-level description which focuses on structurally stable
aspects. Thus a  qualitatively correct model which forms some universality
class\footnotemark is strongly required, for which
the constructive approach is
often more powerful.

\footnotetext{Here we use the term ``universality class" as a
qualitative class,  thus, in a broader sense
than adopted in statsitical mechanics.}

Through the constructive approach, one tries to understand how such
phenomenology is legitimated, how large the universality class to be described
by phenomenology is,
and what the essence of the phenomena is. Only through this approach we can
see why some type of complex behavior is common in nature,
irrespective of
the details, and then we can predict what class of systems leads to such
behavior.

\section{Why Artificial Reality}

The constructive approach in the last section implies the
necessity of the construction of a model with artificial reality.
The behavior of a model is not
easily derived analytically in complex systems.
One needs computers as a
heuristic tool, as a hypothesis generator, rather than as a descriptor.
The activities often called ``artificial life" belong to this class
of modeling.

Such modeling is especially necessary when one deals with
historical phenomena, like evolution, since it is rather difficult to
understand one historical path, without knowing other could-be paths.
Construction of a model with artificial reality provides
an alternative approach when the traditional one faces difficulties.
In the present proceedings, papers by
{\bf Ray}, {\bf Hogeweg}, {\bf  Lindgren}, {\bf Suzuki},
{\bf Ikegami}, and {\bf H\"{u}bler} present successful examples, as well as
the report by {\sl Fontana} in the workshop \cite{Fontana}.
{\bf Palmer}, and {\sl Yasutomi} \cite{Yasutomi} have shown the power of the
artificial reality approach in economics.

Frequent criticism raised to the artificial modeling is the
lack of quantitative predictions.  In natural science, it
is often presumed to be ideal to predict quantitative results
obtained in quantitatively specified experimental conditions.
Such a precise quantitative prediction is not available in
artificial modeling. Still, the phenomena observed in the artificial
reality can provide a metaphor for what occurs (has occurred) in nature
and in human society.  Furthermore we can understand the
essence of ``real" phenomena through the artificial world, which
makes  qualitative prediction possible in a much broader sense.

In the present volume {\bf Li} discusses an expansion-modification system,
a kind of cellular automata with a growing number of cells.
The long-range correlation found in this ``artificial model"
made him and one of the authors (KK) to expect the existence of
long-range correlations
in real DNA sequences, which was later confirmed.
Another example demonstrating a possible connection between artificial and
``real" biology can be found in the paper by {\bf Kaneko and Yomo} in this
volume.

The significance of such ``artificial science" was first
pointed out by Simon, in the context of engineering science \cite{Simon}.
The  present constructive approach to complex systems also
has some applications to engineering problems, mainly
in the area of information processing.  In such a case, one
constructs a system by combining procedures.  Here we should note
that the combination often leads to some (emergent) performance
un-expected from the sum of procedures.  We have some examples in
these proceedings:
{\bf Nozawa} has shown that a combination of a
network of chaotic elements and
a neural network of Hopfield's type brings about
remarkable efficiency in optimization problems.
{\bf Kitano} has demonstrated that
the combination of a genetic algorithm and an L-system for developmental
processes
provides high efficiency in learning.
{\bf Taga} gives a beautiful application of the synchronization to
bipedal motion, while
{\bf Kopecz} shows some emergent performance in robots whose motion is
controlled by artificial
neural nets, so that they successfully avoid obstacles.

\section{Methodological problems in complex systems}

As we have discussed so far, the behavior in an
artificial world cannot be represented by
reduced sets of degrees of freedom while exactly corresponding to the
complex world.  We need novel methodologies to understand the complex
behaviors emerging in artificial models.  So far we do not have
established methods such as those in (equilibrium) statistical mechanics.
We discuss briefly some possibilities.

a) Multiple viewpoints:

It is often required to describe the observation from
many points of view.  For example, the understanding of
pattern dynamics in spatiotemporal
chaos requires both the views from real space and phase space.
Integration of dynamical systems theory and computation theory
is relevant to the understanding of  complexity in
chaos or cellular automata, as  shown by
{\bf Crutchfield} and {\bf Mitchell}.
For game dynamics, we need viewpoints both from an
algorithmic level of strategy, and dynamical systems theory,
as is seen in the studies of {\bf Lindgren}, {\bf Ikegami},
{\bf H\"{u}bler}, and {\bf Suzuki}.

b) Mathematical anatomy in a high-dimensional phase space:

In low-dimensional dynamical systems, ``anatomical" methods
of geometric structures in
phase space have been developed. In complex systems, it is required to
extend such anatomical studies to high-dimensional cases.

In a system with a static complexity such as the spin glass problem,
the anatomy of the (energy/fitness) landscape has clarified its ruggedness
\cite{SG}, while, for a dynamic case, the studies are more difficult,
(since ``anatomy" itself is a static tool),
although some pioneering approaches have recently been proposed
\cite{Shinjo,Ohmine,Konishi} in Hamiltonian dynamical systems with
many degrees of freedom ( e.g., in molecular dynamics).
The anatomical studies
exploring the high-dimensional phase space will be important in
systems with evolution and adaptability.

c) Naturalists' viewpoints

In complex systems, one possible direction is to make a
collection of complex behaviors, list them up  and then classify them.
This approach, borrowed from natural history, has been adopted
in complex systems.  The classification of the behaviors of cellular automata
by Wolfram \cite{Wolfram}, although not complete, can belong to this approach.
Physicists' preference to make a ``phase diagram" is the simplest
version of such classification.  In complex systems, we
have to face
more complicated classifications. The naive use of a phase diagram may not
be powerful, there.  Indeed, in cellular automata, the
lack of a continuous parameter
makes it difficult to construct a phase diagram following the
classification ( see also the paper by {\bf Mitchell} in the present volume).
If a system's dimension is very high,
construction of a phase diagram is not practical, where
one has to resort to more heuristic approaches.  In such cases
a naturalist's approach may be useful.

The three approaches mentioned above are not necessarily sufficient for
understanding all complex systems.
These are apparently the approaches from without\footnotemark,
which is usual and common to
conventional sciences. A constructivistic approach is different. A
constructivist tries to make an uncontrollable world inside a computer which is
controllable from outside,
to make the world be functional. A decisive point for the success of the
modeling lies in the construction of an internal mechanism.
Therefore, a constructivist's approach is inevitably an approach from within.
We discuss this point in the next section.

\footnotetext{Here we use the word ``without" as the antonym of ``within".}

\section{Internal observer}

In a system with artificial reality, one has
to construct an internal observer; otherwise
a system can never be intelligent. In molecular biological systems,
among others, Conrad\cite{Conrad}, R\"{o}ssler \cite{Roessler},
Matsuno\cite{Matsuno}, and one of the authors (IT) \cite{Tsuda-Endo}
have pointed out the significance of an
internal observer which reacts with high efficacy. In brain modeling
also, it has been pointed out that the introduction of an internal viewpoint
would be essential to understand `the brain understanding itself'. If chaos
works in many phases of brain activities, chaos can be a candidate of such an
internal observer. This viewpoint has been called ``chaotic hermeneutics" by
one of the authors (IT) \cite{Tsuda-Endo}.

The significance of internal viewpoints for the ``understanding" of systems
was first proposed by G\"{o}del \cite{Goedel} in
constructing a theory to involve a description, from without, of formal system
into again the formal system, thus a description from within. By this
constructive approach, G\"{o}del succeeded
to prove that there exists a theorem which
is true, but unprovable only by using theorems of the system. Hereby,
the complexity of formal systems was elucidated.

{\bf R\"{o}ssler} has proposed a new scientific paradigm, that is,
endophysics,
generalizing the internal viewpoint in a formal system to that in physics,
chemistry and biology.
In endo-world, it could be that the observation {\sl from within} differs from,
even contradicts to the observation {\sl from without}. Only the latter
observation has been
explicitly performed in conventional science. In complex systems, however,
as has been discussed here, the observation and description from without
are apparently insufficient. Hence, one may well have to take the
endo-viewpoint
for a sufficient understanding of complex systems.
{\bf R\"{o}ssler} has constructed chaotic models to recognize the world from
within in
these proceedings.

Through the approaches so far we are trying to make a
reconstruction of the story for complex systems.  This
reconstruction is not necessarily unique.
Since the stories can include many variables and parameters,
it is not possible to conclude that only one of them provides the
best model. Thus it could be said that
Ockham's razor has lost its edge for complex systems we face now.
{\bf R\"{o}ssler}'s talk in the workshop seemed to absolve
Ockham's razor.

{\sl acknowledgements}

The speculation here is strongly stimulated by the discussions during
Oji Seminars.  We are grateful to all the active participants in the
workshop, and also to those who contributed e-mail discussions for
the 1992 complex systems workshop at Kyoto.
We would also like to Frederick Willeboordse for critical reading of the
manuscript.  Last, but not least of course,
we would like to thank again the
Fujihara Foundation and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
for their generous supports for the workshop.

Tricuspid valve stenosis is a valvular heart disease that narrows the opening of the heart's tricuspid valve. It is a relatively rare condition that causes stenosis (increased restriction of blood flow through the valve).

Cause
Causes of tricuspid valve stenosis are:
 Rheumatic disease
 Carcinoid syndrome
 Pacemaker leads (complication)

Diagnosis
A mild diastolic murmur can be heard during auscultation caused by the blood flow through the stenotic valve. It is best heard over the left sternal border with rumbling character and tricuspid opening snap with wide-splitting S2. The diagnosis will typically be confirmed by an echocardiograph, which will also allow the physician to assess its severity.

Treatment
Tricuspid valve stenosis itself usually does not require treatment. If stenosis is mild, monitoring the condition closely suffices. However, severe stenosis, or damage to other valves in the heart, may require surgical repair or replacement.

The treatment is usually by surgery (tricuspid valve replacement) or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. The resultant tricuspid regurgitation from percutaneous treatment is better tolerated than the insufficiency occurring during mitral valvuloplasty.

50 bands in 1 month. I figured #50 had to be something special. This band probably doesn't need an introduction, but here's one anyway. The Get Up Kids are a five-piece indie/alternative/emo/pop punk band from Kansas City, Missouri that formed in 1995 and broke up in 2005. They reunited three years later in 2008, and have been active ever since.
Micrografx Windows Draw 6 Print Studio Download there. Without a doubt, The Get Up Kids are one of the most seminal and influential bands to come out of the 90's, particularly on emo and indie in the next decade. From small, underground bands to very, very well-known names such as Pete Wentz and Mark Hoppus, The Get Up Kids have really made an impact on music. This is mostly due to one particular album, 1999's incredible Something To Write Home About, which features 12 insanely catchy pop songs that simply never get old. Prior to Something To Write Home About, they had released a handful of material, including a great EP titled Woodson and another full-length, Four Minute Mile. This was fairly standard, catchy, 90's pop punk/emo fare, and their punk roots somewhat show.
They gained a lot of attention in the following years as their sound grew more and more popular, until they made some huge changes in the early 2000's. On A Wire and Guilt Show found the band exploring new sounds, more in an indie/alternative range, with keyboards and a more mature approach to their music. After their reunion, this sound became even more prominent on their last album, There Are Rules, which is the last recorded material to date. It's all great stuff, so I highly advise checking all of it out, but Something To Write Home About is the clear essential here.
