03-08 The Common Sense of the Academy
"Now that Padyuel-san is done, let's talk about Foster." Frank spoke as if nothing at all was out of the ordinary, but that in and of itself was the same as pouring salt to a certain flustered girl's bleeding heart.
"To think that of all people, I would…"
It might've been because of her high regard for herself, but she did not appear down.
Whether that was a good thing or not was difficult to answer, but Shinichi, nonetheless, found it amusing.
He really should repent a bit more though.
"So, what is that Foster thing?" Shinichi asked.
This was more important right now, so Shinichi decided to let her off.
It might be a bit unexpected, but even he can be considerate once in a while.
But then, with how bad he is at reading the atmosphere, in the end, it just cancels itself out, netting him a zero.
"…You're starting there? I'm pretty sure there's a terminal that's been circulating with the same name, but anyway… Foster is short for Foton Use Terminal. That thing I used to show you those images a while ago, as well as the one Padyuel-san has with her – those are both fosters."
They showed Shinichi those tablet-like terminals again. One was A4-sized, while the other was just small enough to hold with one hand.
"It's a product resulting from the fusion of Garesto's portable military equipment and Earth's tablet technology. It was originally created for the students of the academy.
The abbreviation fosuta is foster in English, and since the meaning fits perfectly, it was decided that it would be called that from then on."
"…Sorry, but what does it mean in English?"
Frank carefully explained what the tool was and the origins of its name, but Shinichi got confused when a foreign language was brought to the equation.
The translator machine won't work if a foreign language is intentionally used.
And the translator he had with him wasn't that high-spec'd to begin with.
"Oh? Isn't foster a common English word?"
"Unfortunately, I never got to finish middle school because of my situation, so…"
This had been bothering Shinichi for a long time now.
Just when he'd finally become a second-year middle school student, he was suddenly swept into another world.
He'd already had difficulties with English, so when the burden of having to learn so many new things all of the sudden was added, it's not strange to see how he was able to forget most of what he'd learned.
At most, now, all he can do is to read and write the English alphabet.
"I see. Then… I'll translate it for you. Basically, it's a 'terminal that uses photon.' Yeah, that sounds about right.
Foster means to raise or to rear. So, when you think about it in a mental sense, it's exactly on the same line as "kokoro ni idaku (to harbor a feeling)."
"And by mental, I suppose you're referring to the one from the status?
That odd one out of the bunch that's hard to understand."
He was surprised to find that humans now had those status things when he came back here.
And from among the different statuses listed, the one he couldn't understand at all was the "Mental" or "Mind" stat.
"You really don't know anything, huh? But, well… You did enroll as soon as you returned, so I guess it can't be helped."
For a moment, Frank looked fed up, but it was only for an instant before he put up his teacher act again. He did look annoyed though, not that Shinichi minded.
"How much do you know about photons?" He asked.
"Umm… Photons are crystallized forms of the energy Garesto uses. But, nowadays, it's gotten much rarer, and it's use is being limited," Shinichi replied.
A smidgen of knowledge was all he had.
Frank nodded. "Photons aren't just crystallized energy, however. It's rare, but sometimes they also possess a special trait which allows them to sympathize with the will of a living creature."
"How cliché…" Shinichi mistakenly said.
"Orthodox?" Frank didn't understand.
The cliché setting of a mysterious power that will bring forth tremendous strength when the hero is in a pinch. The promised tale of a hero that shall slay a great evil.
A common story in Shinichi's childhood days, but it's also exactly the kind of power one would expect from a different world. But, a power like that was just too cliché as far as Shinichi was concerned.
"Sorry, it's nothing. Please –continue."
A poor attempt to move the conversation.
"A-Ahem!
Anyway. It's a lot faster than using a machine to pull out energy once.
The "Mind" status indicates how easy it is for a person to gather energy. Of course, the higher the Mind, the greater the energy. Literally, ishi no chikara (power of the will). So, it was translated to "Mind".
Meaning-wise it didn't really match, but with this, Shinichi finally understood what the "Mind" status was about.
No wonder I have a D on it, he thought to himself. As untalented as ever.
"…Since you didn't know anything about mind, I take it you don't know anything about the other statuses either?" Padyuel asked.
While Shinichi was at a lost on whether he should be relieved or sad, the voice of a certain girl who had finally gotten over her slump reached his ears.
It's fine, he caught himself wanting to say, but he changed his mind and asked her to explain.
"Very well. Consider this as an apology for Rizet's behavior earlier.
I'll use my status to explain.
Sensei, please take care of the foster's initial settings.
Let's start. Status Open." Padyuel said.
She spoke as if to command the foster itself. And without even lifting a finger to touch it, a window appeared between her and Shinichi.
Name: Aristel F. Padyuel
Weight: 60kg (132.277lbs)
Strength, A
Stamina, AA
Mind, AAA (MAX)
Resistance, B+
Agility, A-
Three Sizes, B89;W54;H85
Shinichi felt some parts to be too much info, but there was something he needed to point out first.
"So, the ringlet curls were heavy…"
"Can you please drop the hair stuff already!"
The difference in their height wasn't much, but for some reason there was a 12kg (26.5lbs) difference in their weight. That couldn't possibly be all muscle, right? Then it must be those curled sausages of hers. Women sure has it rough, Shinichi thought as he looked at her with pity.
He decided to ignore her three sizes that were being clearly put on display.
This was, after all, her apology for having intruded his privacy earlier.
"Calm down, calm down… A member of the Padyuel House must not lose her composure." Padyuel took a deep breath, then she began her explanation. Shinichi also refrained from any further teasing and focused on listening.
"Fuu… The following status can be described as follows—"
Strength pertains to the maximum power the physical body can produce unaided.
Stamina pertains to the longest a person can maintain his strength.
Mind pertains to the greatest amount of energy a person can muster.
Resistance pertains to how much damage a person's bare flesh can endure.
Agility pertains to one's speed and reflexes.
"—And that about sums it up."
Shinichi nodded. It was the same standard as Falandia.
The only difference was that there were attributes that they didn't have here.
And one of those was the attribute said to be the most important.
That's probably the reason why Shinichi saw statuses differently from the people here.
"As for the hierarchy of ranks, E is the lowest theoretically, but in actual practice D is the lowest and S is the highest. There is also the Double A Rank and the Triple A Rank between A Rank and S Rank.
Minuses and pluses are also used when letters alone aren't sufficient.
In my case, for example, my resistance is shown as B+. That's because it's greater than just B, but not enough to be called an A-. So, it's called B+.
The same goes for my agility, which is an A-. It's not high enough to be called an A, but it's still greater than a B+, so it's given an A- Rank instead."
"…It's the same until here, huh."
"Hmm? Did you say something?"
Strange… The definitions and the ranks are the same.
Does that mean there's not much difference between the three worlds? Or is that as far as their similarities go?
"It's nothing. I just thought it impressive how you're able to look so good despite such high values in strength, endurance, and resistance. It's not a feat you can accomplish with meager talent alone or effort.
You must have been training hard since you were young.
You're pretty amazing, aren't you?"
He didn't want her to ask something troublesome, so he steered the conversation away. At the same time, however, those were his honest thoughts.
The easiest way to train was to build up muscle, though that didn't guarantee an increase in stat, as muscles and statuses weren't directly related.
It was for the same reason that most of the women of Falandia who fought in the front lines were muscular, while those who wanted to keep their appearance fought from the back.
There was only one way to maintain one's appearance with high stats, and that was through a long period of calculated training. There was no other method. It took a lot of guts and perseverance, which is exactly why Shinichi praised her. Yet by doing so he had inadvertently confessed that he knew more than he let on.
"Eh—-!?"
Padyuel went beet red, and she failed to notice the oddity of the fact.
Here was a man who hadn't the slightest clue about "Mind", yet somehow someway, he actually understood the difficulties of keeping one's appearance with a high status.
Moreover, she was a high ranker with a high social status. It shouldn't have been possible for her to lose her composure with just a compliment or two.
Yet that would only prove true if what he praised was something else.
Yes, it was neither her beauty nor her status that he praised, but her effort.
It was something she'd taken for granted, like the rest of the people around her. Giving her best was a given. There was nothing exceptional about that, yet here was a man who praised just that.
It was odd, but for some reason, she felt proud to have "his" praise.
Enough to make her heart beat.
"B-But, of course!
As a member of the Padyuel House, it's only expected to be exemplary!
It's pretty much my duty to be both strong and beautiful!"
"Yep, you're amazing."
She tried to hide her embarrassment by running off her mouth, but the tender gaze of that supposedly younger boy dyed her flush deeper.
"Kyu~ Kyu~" A certain girl who had been watching from a distance was stupefied. She skillfully moved her forelegs and took on the pose of a person shrugging shoulders as she shook her head. 'Same as ever, huh', she seemed to say.
"You seem to be done explaining the status. Shall we return to the original topic?"
"Ah, y-yes. By all means!"
After coming back to her senses, Aristel stepped down and let Frank explain.
She distanced herself from Shinichi and took a deep breath to calm down, while Frank took out a "Foster" from the box he was carrying.
From what Shinichi knew, that was none other than a tablet.
It was already on and it was no different from the ones he'd seen on TV or in the streets before being swept to another world.
But the senses he had that had been trained in Falandia clearly felt the presence of "power" inside it.
Shinichi was stunned.
"Is this!?"
"…I guess with this much photon even a useless returnee can feel it, huh."
That ever expressionless face of Shinichi broke when Frank took the tablet out.
His eyes went wide as he felt the surge of photon.
"This is Foster. It can be used as a portable terminal, but as far as the academy or this city is concerned, it's an indispensable tool for studying.
It's your ID, your textbook, and your weapon.
Just like that, see?" Frank pointed to the other students who had their tablets equipped on their arms as they sparred with one another. It was the place with the greatest concentration of photon.
The students fought under the protection of the photon energy. They hit and kicked, and were hit and kicked in turn. It was more a brawl and less an actual spar like two sandbags that had grown a pair of arms and legs, and were hitting each other. But what surprised him was that light.
"That thin layer of light is a barrier. It comes from the foster and it protects the students.
It's necessary to ensure the safety of the students during combat training and hunting duties.
It's also used to ensure that no one gets hurts during quarrels between students.
As long as it's up, no hits will actually reach the body.
Well, the shock can still reach the body though."
Frank seemed to be joking at some point, but Shinichi couldn't laugh.
He didn't like the way this school did things, but now he finally understood.
When he first saw the students fight, he was annoyed by something, yet he couldn't tell what that something was. But now, he finally understood.
The students didn't know how to fight. They were too soft.
It's not because of the barrier, Falandia had that as well.
The real problem was that they were using that to beat each other senselessly, flailing their fists about wildly, then smiling when they got hit as if all was right.
These students were all on the road to death. And if this were an actual fight, they would all – without exception – be slaughtered.
Even more surprising was how they belittled shock waves.
Did they think that their barrier was invincible? There were countless ways to kill a person without touching them. In fact, Shinichi himself knew enough to pile a mountain.
"A-Ahh… This isn't good… I'm thinking strange things again." Shinichi shook his head.
That way of thinking was too close to that of Falandia, a war-torn world where battles occurred at every corner. Monsters frolicked the perimeters of the city walls, and bandits ever lurked in the shadows for unsuspecting travelers.
War and terrorism dyed the world in its color. It was a world completely unlike Earth, which was currently trying to adopt Garesto's way of life.
It wasn't right to judge another world by the standards of another, something that Shinichi kept doing. He had to stop, but…
"…Sensei, what, is that?"
"Hmm? Oh, that? Well, that's because fosters are also weapons.
Swords and shooters are standard equipment."
The answer wasn't wrong, per se, but that wasn't the question.
What Shinichi was really asking was "Is that really how you're supposed to use your weapon?"
A terminal was equipped on each of their arms. A blade of light or the nozzle of a gun extended from their hands. Facing each other, they let loose a barrage of attacks. That was it. It was like two kids play fighting.
Their skills were poor. That's to be expected, but everyone looked on at that as if it were perfectly normal.
The students looked to be trying, but there was no fear in their actions.
The fear of holding a weapon. The fear of using a weapon. The fear of hurting your friend. The fear of hurting yourself.
It was as if the concept of fear was swept off to another world, there was no fear at all. Moreover, the students that were supposedly sparring looked no more than a bunch of brats messing around.
—They probably don't even realize the existence of such fears.
He wanted to ask, just where did Earth's —no, Japan's common sense go?
Wasn't Japan a country supposedly blessed with a culture of morality, etiquette, and martial arts?
Did all that go away just because of another world's culture?
Suddenly, his head that shouldn't have been hurting began to hurt. Before he knew it, his palm was supporting his forehead.
That quiet mutter and that slight action went by unnoticed by Aristel, who was watching him intently from behind.
Her gaze seemed to be searching for something, though they also carried with them a hint of respect.
It was as if she was looking at someone she respected. Yet, hidden even deeper neath that gaze full of yearn was a fire unknown.
"U-Umm…"
"All of you stop! Just stop!
What's with those movements? Nothing's changed at all since you've entered this school!
You have to look at your opponent properly and then move!
Just swinging your weapons doesn't count as fighting!"
Frire Doneju harshly reprimanded the students.
Some of the students frowned upon being told they've made no progress, but whatever complaints they had were suppressed by a swing of her blade.
It was fast and brimming with power. And though it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, the pressure alone was enough to overwhelm them.
"I won't hear any of it! You have to look at your weapon properly and use it!
Just hitting someone with them doesn't take any "technique"!
Are you humans or a bunch of drones!? Then stop moving around aimlessly and use your heads!" Frire demonstrated for the students, instructing them as she showered them with abuse. From time to time, she would even hit them. It was starting to turn troublesome, but her older brother, Frank, only shook his head, muttering "Goodness gracious" under his breath as he wondered whether such rough teaching was warranted.
"Goodness gracious, what a rough woman." Frank said.
"On the contrary, Sensei.
If you had just thrown them out to fight for themselves in the field, they would have everything learned in a day," Shinichi disagreed.
Frank was just looking to hear someone agree with him, but out of the blue, a method even harsher than Frire's came knocking. He froze.
"You're… Too extreme.
They won't be able to do anything if a strong raybeast comes out." Frank advised.
He was shocked, but he figured Shinichi must've made that remark because he didn't understand just how dangerous the raybeasts were.
"Er… That's exactly why I want you to throw them out there… Actually, never mind. Let's just continue."
It's precisely because it's dangerous that it makes sense.
That danger is what will hammer the basics into their body.
But just as Shinichi was about insist, he stopped.
There wasn't any meaning in that, so he forcefully changed the topic.
"…As for the rest, you'll figure it out as you use it.
It's been set to its default setting, so, just change it later as you see fit." Frank seemed displeased for a moment, but he quickly handed the foster.
Shinichi strapped it to his non-dominant arm, his left arm, where it automatically turned into an arm band.
The now angular-shaped foster fit perfectly.
It was hard to tell from a distance, but it looked just like a kote (bracer used in Kendo).
"…So needlessly high tech."
Any other Earthling would've been goggle-eyed at the transformation, but Shinichi wasn't impressed.
On the screen of the terminal appeared some large Japanese characters which read "Registration Complete", and the energy began to seep out.
A photon barrier wrapped around Shinichi just like the rest of his classmates.
He wasn't good with this sort of stuff. Having a barrier cover his own body was like being stuffed in a sleeping bag. It was hard to move.
He waved his hands a couple of times. Opened them. Closed them. He wanted to find out if it would really be a hindrance to his movements, and unfortunately, that seemed to be the case. In truth, it was all just in his mind. It was just a feeling and nothing more, but it still felt like he was being constrained. He had to get used to it.
"Padyuel-san, I think you'll be a better fit for teaching what comes next. Do you mind?"
I'll make sure to explain everything. Now then, if you'd follow me."
A stage just like he'd seen during recess at the first sports ground rose from the ground.
Aristel wore her terminal on her left arm like a kote just like he did, and she faced him atop the stage.
The reason she joined this class was to lift the veil from Shinichi. Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to say that out loud.
"Then let's start with the basics of foster combat.
You have already been registered to that foster, so please go ahead and say 'Sword' or 'Shooter' to it."
"…Say it? You mean with my mouth? When we have to use our weapons?"
Aristel was clearly serious when she said that, but Shinichi still couldn't help but do a double-take.
"Huh? Umm, yeah.
You can also input it manually… Oh, right. You must find it odd to have to say the name of the weapon you're using while fighting, huh?"
There were many people who thought it stupid to have to call out the name of your weapon in actual battles, so, she was able to immediately deduce why Shinichi reacted like that.
There also weren't any people who had to rely on voice activation during the sparring in recess, which Shinichi had observed.
In actuality, those weren't the only things Shinichi was confused about, but he let it slide.
"Well, yeah, something like that."
The real thing can change shape with just a thought, but these things we have are – in the end – meant for school use.
They're not meant to be used against people, only raybeasts. Think of them as exclusively for training .
The only students equipped with such fosters are those of the special class." Aristel explained.
"I see." Shinichi nodded.
Actually, Shinichi found the very thought of having to call out the name of his weapon embarrassing.
He'd often done something similar in his childhood days when he acted out the heroes he on television.
"Sigh… 'Sword'" Shinichi said monotonously.
A sword of light just like the rest of the class' extended from his left palm, where the kote-like terminal was strapped.
The photon sword shone a golden hue and was a double-edged 30cm blade.
It was only about half the size of the other students.
"Huh, is it because my mind stat is low that it's smaller?"
"Y-yeah, probably… It's not true for all ranks, but a difference will probably appear when the rank is as low as C or D."
"As I thought. Anyway, this suits me just fine."
Because I'm bad with long weapons, he nonchalantly added as he swung the sword a couple of times.
There wasn't a hint of a sense of inferiority about him, even though his sword was smaller than everyone else.
In fact, he swung his sword like all was right in the world. And he was so used to it that Aristel felt like her common sense wasn't so common.
"N-Next is the shooter. Please give it a try.
It would be problematic if a problem shows up later, so…"
"Right…" Shinichi took a deep breath, then with a stiff face that spoke of the hesitation he had to overcome to utter the next few words, he said, "Shooter"
He really didn't want to say it. In fact, he'd suffered a similar fate back in Falandia, since using magic required one to say the attribute.
"Good. It seems there's nothing wrong with the foster."
I mean he might be a 1-D student, but I'm not about to hand out defective fosters now."
The foster was working properly. When the foster changed shape from a sword to a shooter, the blade vanished, and a nozzle appeared in its place.
Although, he felt it closer in appearance to that of a fire hose than a gun. But, considering it's supposed to shoot out energy, he figured it made more sense this way.
"Then, let's have some shooting practice… Shoot me some stationary targets." Aristel ordered the foster.
Suddenly, a gutter opened on the floor, and circular-shaped targets came shooting out, aligning themselves at a fixed height. No strings were attached to them, but they floated there as still as a mountain.
"…Seriously, unnecessarily high-tech." Shinichi said.
Everything about the whole system from the way the targets came out to the way they floated there in the air stupefied Shinichi.
They could've just relied on people, he thought to himself. Or they could have just made a simpler system.
"You shoot with your mind. Aim, then give out an order in your mind to shoot.
You can also say it out loud like this… 'Shoot'!"
A fist-sized bullet came shooting out of the shooter-form foster.
It shot through the highest one of the floating targets, extinguishing it so that it left no trace but the scattering minute fragments.
"Ho~ not bad." Shinichi clapped.
It was a remarkable shot, and he found himself honestly praising her.
His eyes were focused on the automatic cleaning system that took care of the fragments.
"No, I had some help with the aim, so anyone could have done the same.
Anyway, try shooting the remaining targets." Padyuel humbly replied as she boasted of the machine's capabilities.
Shinichi set his sights on the floating targets. There were still three remaining, behind which was a wall in the off-chance he missed.
Shinichi calmly aimed his foster at the targets that resembled those of darts.
"Haa… 'Shoot'"
He didn't have to say it out loud, but the person who was teaching him did, so, he figured it would be safer to follow suit.
As he said that one word out loud, three consecutive shots resounded, and before anyone knew it, teeny 2cm balls of energy penetrated the targets.
It was so accurate it felt as if the bullets were sucked into the center of the targets.
The sound of teeny bullets hitting resounded as they shot through. And as they watched on, the question begged itself, how many people in this academy could shoot like that?
"Good shooting for a first timer," Frank said. "But… while I know you're a D Rank, aren't those things a tad too small?"
Although the teacher didn't really understand, he still felt something was off.
Compared to him, Aristel was shaking in admiration.
She had instructed him to shoot normally, and the result was far greater than what she'd expected.
She gulped. She'd joined this class just for the sake of confirming it with her own eyes, and now that the prize was right before her eyes, her instincts screamed at her to stop.
But it was too late. She needed to confirm it – with her own two eyes – whether that something she'd seen once upon a time was real or not.
And this was the fastest way to do it.
"What about— Padyuel-san?"
Her shooter was aimed at Shinichi—

Thanks for the chapter, now I want the next! dammed cliff
why two? did he miss one of his shots?
I think she's challenging him, and he'll probably lose on purpose. Or doesn't have enough power in his weapon to do much damage.
alu says:
do you think the really small projectiles is him simulating a low magic capacity?
Jay of the Void says:
I'm pretty sure he somehow compressed them. Why make a needlessly large projectile when one compressed with less energy will penetrate the target just as well? The only time you need a large projectile is when you want to obliterate the target instead of just piercing a weak point.
the MC keeps mentioning the missing 2 stats that are supposedly the most important. one of them should be something like mastery or quality, or the ability to pull out everything from your stats. if an analogy can be made it would be something like density. in the case of photon, higher mind stat means a bigger sword or a bigger bullet. but with the ??? stat the sword and bullet will be denser. so a person with all D stats but S ??? stat will have a sword that can cut through a sword from a person with all A stats but D ??? stat, even if it is smaller. In terms of strength it would be something like having better overall strength but being only to use the strength of your arms when punching vs a person who has a smaller body but uses all the muscles in their body to deliver a punch
crash331 says:
probably not considering how it's been written so far. This chapter was him mostly going how the people here are incredibly inept because their playing around, and he's going to see her challenge as a joke, and curbstomp her for treating what should be a sparring drill into a game.
Chuo says:
Yeah, did he use two energy balls to hit three targets?
Thanks for the translation👍✌

Thank you for the chapter! I can't get enough of this!
small typo question:
Are those supposed to be "2cm tiny balls of energy" instead of "2 tiny cm balls of energy"?

Beatriz Seigner – Brazil – 2018

Lisa Faessler – Ecuador – 2009
The mountain massif of Cutucú in the south of the Amazon region in Ecuador was a kind of defense against the environmental destruction for the native population but in the same time an obstacle. The people had no access to the modern world outside. The road through the Cutucú now allows mobility in order to exploit the fossil resurces but it grants the natives a way to reach the so called civilized world.

Harbin (; mandschurisch ; russisch Харби́н / Charbin ) ist die Hauptstadt der Provinz Heilongjiang (Amur-Provinz), Mandschurei, Volksrepublik China, am Fluss Songhua Jiang mit 5.242.897 Einwohnern im Stadtgebiet (Zensus 2020). Im Gesamtgebiet lebten im Jahr 2020 zehn Millionen Personen.

Administrative Gliederung und Bevölkerung

Administrative Gliederung
Die Unterprovinzstadt Harbin setzt sich auf Kreisebene aus neun Stadtbezirken, zwei kreisfreien Städten und sieben Kreisen zusammen. Diese sind:

Bevölkerungsentwicklung der Agglomeration
In der eigentlichen Agglomeration der Stadt lebten laut UN knapp 6 Millionen Einwohner (Stand: 2017). Die restliche Bevölkerung lebt im ländlichen Umland. Aufgrund der voranschreitenden Urbanisierung wird bis 2035 mit 7,9 Millionen Einwohnern in der Agglomeration gerechnet.

Ethnische Zusammensetzung der Gesamtbevölkerung Harbins (2000)
Beim Zensus 2000 wurden für das gesamte Verwaltungsgebiet Harbins 9.413.359 Einwohner gezählt.

Geschichte
Die Stadt wurde 1898 – nach der Besetzung der nördlichen Mandschurei durch Russland – als Bahnstation der von Nikolai Swijagin gebauten Transmandschurischen Eisenbahn von Russen gegründet, weswegen das Stadtbild der älteren Stadtteile heute noch von russischer Architektur geprägt ist. Besonders nach der Oktoberrevolution flohen viele Russen nach Harbin und trugen zum Aufblühen der Stadt bei. Im Hinblick auf den Personalbedarf der Transmandschurischen Eisenbahn wurde 1920 eine russisch-chinesische technische Schule unter der Leitung von Dmitri Horvat mit dem Verwaltungsratsvorsitzenden Nikolai Gondatti eröffnet. Im April 1922 wurde die Schule als russisch-chinesisches polytechnisches Institut die erste höhere Bildungseinrichtung in Harbin. 1932 wurde die Stadt von japanischen Truppen besetzt. Nach der Kapitulation Japans im Zweiten Weltkrieg übernahm die Sowjetunion die Stadt. Zwar übergab sie die Stadt vereinbarungsgemäß der Republik China, aber die Truppen der Roten Armee blieben weiterhin dort stationiert. Unter ihrer stillschweigenden Duldung konnte die Kommunistische Partei Chinas die Stadt bereits 1946 erobern. Die Industrieanlagen dort dienten ihnen als Basis für den Sieg im Bürgerkrieg.

Nach der Gründung der Volksrepublik China wurde die Schwerindustrie in Harbin noch ausgebaut. Dafür wurden Menschen aus dem Süden Chinas hierher umgesiedelt und die Technische Universität durch Lehrkräfte aus dem Süden verstärkt. Viele dieser Menschen kehrten nach der Lockerung der Wohnbestimmungen wieder in ihre alte Heimat zurück.

Seit der wirtschaftlichen Reform versuchen Harbin und die Provinz Heilongjiang, sich als Brückenkopf im Handel mit Russland zu profilieren.

Im November 2005 verseuchte der Chemieunfall von Jilin das Wasser des Songhua Jiang mit Benzol, woraufhin die Trinkwasserversorgung der Stadt für mehrere Tage unterbrochen werden musste.

Am 20. Oktober 2013 breitete sich über Harbin ein schwerer Smog aus. Flughafen, Schulen und Kindergärten wurden für drei Tage geschlossen. Alle Autobahnen wurden nach Unfallserien geschlossen. Bei windarmem, relativ warmem Wetter war das kohlebefeuerte städtische Heizungssystem gestartet worden. Am 25. Oktober bewirkte kalte, aus Sibirien zuströmende Luft, dass sich der Smog nach oben hob und abzog.

Geografie

Das Stadtgebiet erstreckt sich hauptsächlich am Südufer des Songhua Jiang, eines Nebenflusses des Heilong Jiang (Amur). Das Nordufer wird als Naherholungsgebiet ausgebaut. Das Stadtgebiet ist weitestgehend eben, es gibt nur Niveauunterschiede von rund 150 Metern. Die Fläche umfasst 56.579 km², davon 7086 km² Stadtfläche.

Klima
Die Winter in Harbin sind sehr kalt, in den Nächten kann die Temperatur bis auf −40 °C sinken. Oft beginnt es im Oktober schon zu schneien und der Frost endet meist erst Ende April. Dementsprechend ist die Vegetationszeit relativ kurz. Im Sommer ist die Stadt für chinesische Verhältnisse angenehm kühl, so dass sie im Sommer ein beliebter Konferenzort Chinas ist.

Wirtschaft
Laut einer Studie aus dem Jahr 2014 erwirtschafte Harbin ein Bruttoinlandsprodukt von 127,9 Milliarden US-Dollar in Kaufkraftparität. In der Rangliste der wirtschaftsstärksten Metropolregionen weltweit belegte die Stadt damit den 104. Platz. Das BIP pro Kopf liegt bei 12.865 US-Dollar (KKP). Mit 10,1 % im Zeitraum von 2009 bis 2014 wuchs das BIP pro Kopf schnell.

Produktionszweige
Harbin ist ein Industriestandort mit Branchen wie Maschinenbau, Leichtindustrie, Textilindustrie, Medizin, Lebensmittelindustrie, Automobilindustrie, Elektronik, Chemieindustrie. Eine dominierende Rolle spielen die Herstellung von Kraftwerksausrüstungen, Flugzeugen, Omnibussen, Messinstrumenten sowie die Produktion größerer Mengen Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungen zur Weiterverarbeitung in anderen chinesischen Werken oder für den Export. Die Harbin City Commercial Bank ist im Bereich der Vergabe von Kleinkrediten sehr aktiv.

Handelsplatz
Die Harbiner Messe findet jährlich vom 15. bis 21. Juni statt. Sie ist die wichtigste universale Messe in Nordostasien und wurde erstmals im Jahr 2001 abgehalten.

Bildung
In Harbin  befinden sich 19 Hochschulen mit rund 70.000 Studenten, davon gehört die Technische Universität Harbin (engl.: Harbin Institute of Technology) zu den Top Ten in China. Zudem bestehen 22 Erwachsenenhochschulen mit rund 116.000 Studierenden.

Verkehr

Flugverbindungen
Harbin Taiping (IATA: HRB, ICAO: ZYHB) ist der größte internationale Flughafen in Nordchina, Direktflüge in die USA, Russland, Japan und Korea sind möglich.

Eisenbahn

Zudem ist Harbin ein wichtiger Eisenbahnknotenpunkt Nordostchinas. Fünf Eisenbahnlinien verbinden die Stadt mit Peking (Jingha Line), Suifenhe (Binsui Line), Manzhouli (Binzhou Line), Bei'an (Binbei Line) und Lalin (Labin Line). Darüber hinaus verläuft eine Hochgeschwindigkeits-Eisenbahnstrecke zwischen Harbin und Dalian, eine weitere wurde Ende 2018 eröffnet: Die Bahnstrecke Harbin–Mudanjiang. Die Stadt verfügt über folgende Bahnhöfe:
 Hauptbahnhof (1899 eröffnet und 1999 erweitert)
 Harbin-Ostbahnhof (1934 eröffnet)
 Harbin-Westbahnhof (2012 fertiggestellt)
 Harbin-Nordbahnhof (seit 2014)

Metro
Im Jahr 2009 begann der Bau eines U-Bahn-Systems, der Harbin Metro. Um das Jahr 2027 soll das Netz neun Linien und eine Ringlinie umfassen. Die erste Linie wurde 2013 eröffnet und bildet eine Ost-West-Verbindung zwischen der Medizinischen Universität und dem Ostbahnhof. Zwei weitere Linien wurden bis 2022 eröffnet.

Hafen, Wasserstraßen und Brücken
Der erste und zugleich auch der einzige Inlandhafen in China befindet sich im Gebiet von Harbin und ist ein ausgebauter Naturhafen. Er ist von mittlerer Größe, besitzt eine Anbindung an das Eisenbahnnetz und dient auch für die Verschiffung von Exportgütern.

Harbin ist über seinen Songhua Fluss mit dem System der etwa 1.900 Flüsse in der Provinz Heilongjiang verbunden. Das ermöglicht umfangreiche Personen- und Frachtschifffahrt.
Von der Hängebrücke Harbin Yangmingtan Bridge, die im Jahr 2011 dem Verkehr übergeben worden war, brach im Sommer 2012 eine Fahrbahn (wahrscheinlich) unter der Last mehrerer schwerer Fahrzeuge ein, wobei auch drei Menschen ihr Leben verloren.

Über den Fluss spannt sich außerdem die Harbin Songpu Bridge, eine moderne Schrägseilbrücke. Sie wurde im Oktober 2010 dem Verkehr übergeben, ist rund 4 Kilometer lang, besitzt je Fahrtrichtung zwei Fahrspuren und ihr Bau kostete 1,6 Milliarden Yuan.

Straßensystem
Durch die Stadt oder an der Tangente verlaufen fünf Express Highways und fünf Autobahnen. Über dieses gut ausgebaute Straßensystem zusammen mit den Stadtstraßen werden die Bewohner mit allem Wichtigen versorgt.

Tourismus

Eis- und Schneefeste

Im Winter, in der Regel von Anfang Januar bis Mitte Februar, finden in Harbin das Eis- und Schneefestival und das Eislaternen-Festival statt. An verschiedenen Orten im Stadtgebiet werden dann zum Teil filigran ausgearbeitete Eis- und Schneeskulpturen ausgestellt. Die größten Skulpturen sind Nachbauten berühmter Baudenkmale wie des Louvre in Paris oder des Pekinger Sommerpalastes. Dabei können die Skulpturen mehrere Meter hoch werden und sind nachts von innen mehrfarbig beleuchtet. Nicht nur zum Anschauen, sondern auch zur Benutzung gab es im Januar 2009 auch vier Bahnen Eisrutschen, die komplett aus Eis gefertigt waren. Das Festival wurde im Jahr 1984 erstmals ausgerichtet und hat sich mittlerweile zu einer Winter-Touristenattraktion entwickelt. Es gehört zu den vier größten Eis- und Schneefestivals der Welt (neben dem Sapporo-Schneefestival, dem Skifestival in Oslo und der Winter-Sonnwendfeier in Québec).

Zu den Veranstaltungsorten gehören das Gelände der Harbin Engineering University, der Zhaolin-Park und das Landschaftsgebiet Sun Island (hier werden vor allem die Schneeskulpturen errichtet). 2012 wurde ein neuer offizieller Weltrekord aufgestellt: 52 Teams aus der ganzen Welt haben 1858 Kubikmeter Schnee für ihre Skulpturen verwendet. Den ersten Preis beim International Collegiate Snow Sculpture Contest 2012 gewann ein Studententeam der Universität Milwaukee aus den USA.

Bierbrauerei

Seit 2002 wird jährlich im Juli ein (an das Münchener Oktoberfest angelehntes) Internationales Bierfestival ausgerichtet.
Innerhalb Chinas kann die Stadt auf die längste Tradition im Bierbrauen zurückblicken:
Die Gründung der Harbiner Brauerei erfolgte bereits 1900 und damit drei Jahre vor der weltbekannten Tsingtao-Brauerei.

Musik
Das Harbin Sinfonieorchester, 1908 gegründet, ist Chinas ältestes Orchester. Die Musikschule Harbin Nr. 1 wurde 1928 von Zuwanderern nach Harbin gegründet, die mit der Eröffnung des Hauptbahnhofs hier eintrafen, überwiegend Russen. Aus dieser ersten Musikschule in China sind inzwischen rund 100 weltbekannte Musiker hervorgegangen.
Das Harbin Summer Music Concert umfasst eine ganze Serie von Konzerten und wird gut besucht. Es nahm seinen Anfang im Jahr 1958 (offiziell 1961) und wurde jährlich bis zur Kulturrevolution 1966 organisiert. Eine Wiederaufnahme erfolgte im Jahr 1974, zunächst weiterhin jährlich im August. Seit 1994 findet es im Zweijahresrhythmus an verschiedenen Orten der Stadt statt.

Die UNESCO nahm Harbin im Jahr 2010 als Mitglied des Creative Cities Network als Music City auf.

2015 wurde das Harbin Grand Theatre eröffnet.

Tigerfarm
In  einer Tigerfarm in Harbin leben ca. 800 Sibirische Tiger, um den Druck von den freilebenden Tigern zu nehmen und eine Wiederansiedlung von Tigern in ehemaligen Tigergebieten (Kasachstan, Ostchina) zu ermöglichen.

Hervorhebenswert ist der im Jahr 2000 fertiggestellte Drachenturm als einer der höchsten Stahlfachwerktürme der Welt.
Entsprechend der ethnischen Zusammensetzung der Einwohner finden sich im Stadtgebiet auch die verschiedensten Religionsbauten.

Frederique Constant Classic Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture (Specs and Price)
Frederique Constant launches two new limited editions in stainless steel or 18K rose gold. Both feature a classic navy-blue skeleton dial, offering its wearer a precious glance at the watch's complex mechanics.
This exclusive watch has been specially created to celebrate the opening of Frederique Constant's new Manufacture building in the watchmaking hub of Plan-les-Ouates in Geneva, Switzerland.
Frederique Constant Classic Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture
Democratic complications
The Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Manufacture timepiece embodies the founders' visionary quest to democratise Swiss watchmaking savoir-faire and innovation.
In 2004, after a few years of research and development, Frederique Constant introduced its first in-house patented manufacture movement: the award-winning Heart Beat Manufacture Calibre. Four years later, the brand unveiled its first in-house manufacture Tourbillon, one of the industry's most intricate complication based on the Heart Beat Manufacture calibre.
Later in 2016, to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the Frederique Constant manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, another grand complication was created: the Manufacture Perpetual Calendar watch, paving the way for a new generation of Swiss Made complicated watches at a democratic price tag and becoming a beacon of the brand's know-how and expertise.
Aiming to provide ultimate precision, the in-house automatic FC-975 movement is equipped with a silicium escapement wheel and anchor. This specific material counters problems caused by the effect of the earth's gravity when the movement is in a vertical position and is resistant to temperature change.
This grand complication also bears a smart weight balance wheel and an delicate and even Tourbillon cage. Frederique Constant patented its Tourbillon cage composed of 80 components all produced with a precision of 1-2 micron (0.001-0.002 mm) thanks to its CNC machines. In order to achieve the highest degree of precision, small weights are added in the Tourbillon's cage to obtain a perfect balance. When the Tourbillon is constructed, the cage's stability is slightly off, as the escapement wheel and anchor are decentered. Frederique Constant added a "smart screw" system on the outer edge of the Tourbillon to equalize the weight and deliver a perfect balance within the cage, resulting in a more stable amplitude and rate.
The two new Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Manufacture models are presented in a substantial 42mm diameter 3-part case, available either in polished stainless steel or in 18K rose gold. Both come with a see-through case back to let one admire the delicate Perlage & Côtes de Genève decorations.
The watches feature a stunning, skeletonized silver colour dial with navy blue sub-dials and outer ring and a navy-blue alligator strap.
The Perpetual Calendar complication also displays the day, date and month and requires even less adjustments than an annual calendar. This highly sophisticated complication acknowledges the number of days each month, displays the year and automatically adjust itself for the leap year. Once set, it will remember the months with 30 and 31 days, the 28 days of February as well as the leap year cycle with the return of 29th of February every four years. The Perpetual Calendar doesn't require any manual correction before 400 years, although there is an exception in the Gregorian Calendar, the watch will need to be adjusted on March 1st, 2100. The hour and minute functions are all adjustable through the crown. The dial presents at 12 o'clock the months and leap year, at 3 o'clock the days and at 9 o'clock the week days.
The tourbillon's cage sits at 6 o'clock, with its incorporated seconds hand that rotates once every minute. Each cage is sequentially numbered on the top plate in the center of the cage, matching the limited-edition number on the case. This combination showcases the limited edition of 88 pieces for the stainless-steel version and 30 pieces for the 18K rose gold case.
What makes Frederique Constant's collections memorable is the commitment to develop, produce and assemble all movements entirely in-house, keeping the price of the Manufacture watches very competitive. The Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture stands as a perfect embodiment of these values and stays in line with the brand's motto: Let more people enjoy luxury.

Cybersecurity and compliance may be the most over-used and under-explained terms in the world of IT. We all want our networks to be secure. We all want our networks to be compliant. But what does that mean in practice?
At BlueCat, we know that DNS has a strong role to play in advancing both cybersecurity and compliance. But we also know that it's not enough to simply say that.

TC13 SK Modified Shootout At Stafford Returns With Support From Sponsors
July 3, 2019 raceproweekly Stafford Motor Speedway
Story By: PAUL ARUTE / STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY – STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT – The TC 13 SK Modified® shootout in honor of the late Ted Christopher returns to Stafford Speedway Friday, July 12th with support from multiple sponsors.
The 13-lap shootout held after the conclusion of the scheduled 40 lap SK Modified® feature was introduced in 2018 to honor 9-time track champion Ted Christopher who tragically lost his life in 2017. The TC 13 Shootout is made possible by generous partners who have committed to supporting the event in its second year. Gaston Racing Enterprises, Life Care Family Chiropractic – Dr. Sean Noel, John Rayner Real Estate and Big Haus USA Racing Products have each posted $500 to the purse.
"We introduced this event last season in an attempt to honor Teddy," explained Stafford General Manager Mark Arute. "With 131 career wins, Teddy was the king of Stafford and thrilled fans for years. We thought it made sense to do a unique shootout event in his honor. We have an amazing trophy from Sign Pro and we've had great sponsors step up to support the purse that TC would have loved to run for."
The Inaugural TC 13 SK Modified® shootout was won by Glen Reen, driver of the #17 SK Modified® owned by Dan Avery. Reen, sporting a Ted Christopher tribute paint scheme, won the feature in thrilling fashion holding off Chase Dowling for a breakout win. Since his win in the 2018 TC Shootout Reen has grabbed two more wins including a win early in 2019.
"I think it's going to be another race of survival to make the TC 13 field," said Reen. "Last year was extremely hard to just make it. I think going for the win last year was easier than the race for 13th place was. I think we have a good car we just have to see what happens. I think the invert is a great idea. Winning that race meant a lot, it probably ranks right up there with my Tour win as the biggest wins of my career. Especially to win that race for Dan Avery, I saw him wreck last year and I know how bad he wanted to be in that race and win it. If it couldn't be Mike, Jr. winning the race, then I said to myself there's no way I wasn't winning that race for Dan. To bring that trophy back to Dan's shop and put it up on the wall next to a photo of Teddy hugging Dan after Dan won his first race driving one of Teddy's cars, that's where the trophy belongs. My pattern this year seems to be good, bad, good, bad, so hopefully we can be good that night."
The 2019 event will be similar to the 2018 edition with the top-13 finishers in the 40-lap SK Modified® feature transferring to the TC 13 SK Modified® Shootout. New for 2019, the winner will draw a number 1 to 13 to determine the invert. If 13 is drawn the 13th place finisher will start on the pole of the shootout.
Stafford Speedway is still looking for additional partners to join the program. Any individual or business interested in supporting the event may contact the track office (860-684-2783).
The TC 13 SK Modified® Shootout will once again be paired with the Bud Light Open Modified 80, the 3rd Open Modified event of the 2019 season. Stafford's Late Models, SK Lights, Limited Late Models, and Street Stocks will also all be in action. Tickets for the Bud Light Open Modified 80 / TC 13 SK Shootout are priced at $30.00 for adult general admission, $5.00 for children ages 6-14, and children ages 5 and under are admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult. Reserved seat tickets are $32.00 for all ages. All ticket prices include 10% CT Admission Tax. Stafford Motor Speedway offers plenty of free parking along with overnight camping available for self contained Recreational Vehicles.

Neomi Jehangir Rao (born March 22, 1973) is an American jurist who serves as a federal appellate judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019, having served in the Trump Administration from 2017 to 2019 as Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

Early life and education
Rao was born on March 22, 1973, in Detroit, Michigan, to Zerin and Jehangir Narioshang Rao. Rao's parents were Parsi physicians who immigrated to the United States from India in 1972. She grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and attended Detroit Country Day School, graduating in 1991.

Rao studied ethics, politics & economics, and philosophy at Yale University, graduating in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude. From 1995 to 1996, Rao was a reporter for The Weekly Standard. She then attended the University of Chicago Law School, where she was a comment editor on the University of Chicago Law Review and executive editor of a symposium issue of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. She graduated in 1999 with a Juris Doctor with highest honors and Order of the Coif membership.

Career
After law school, Rao clerked for judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1999 to 2000. She was legal counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee from 2000 to 2001, then clerked for justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court from 2001 to 2002.

In 2002, Rao entered private practice in London with the British law firm Clifford Chance, where she practiced public international law and arbitration. From 2005 to 2006, during the presidency of George W. Bush, Rao was an associate with the White House Counsel. In 2006, she became a professor of law at the George Mason University School of Law (now Antonin Scalia Law School), where she received tenure in 2012. In 2015, she founded the Center for the Study of the Administrative State.

She is a member of the Administrative Conference of the United States and the governing council of the American Bar Association's Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, where she co-chairs the section's regulatory policy committee. She is a member of the Federalist Society.

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
On April 7, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Rao to become the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Office of Management and Budget. Former OIRA Administrator Susan Dudley, who served under President George W. Bush, described Rao as "an excellent choice to lead OIRA...In addition to a sharp legal mind, she brings an openness to different perspectives and an ability to manage the competing demands of regulatory policy."

Legal commentator and law professor Jonathan H. Adler wrote that "Trump's selection of Rao suggests the administration is serious about regulatory reform, not merely reducing high-profile regulatory burdens." Opposition to Rao came from groups such as the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), who said she has "led efforts to roll back fundamental environmental protections" and has "misuse[d] the regulatory review process for partisan political purposes." Rao was confirmed to the position by the United States Senate on July 10, 2017.

Federal judicial service

Nomination and confirmation
On November 13, 2018, Trump announced that he would nominate Rao to the vacancy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit created by Judge Brett Kavanaugh's elevation to the Supreme Court of the United States. Her nomination was sent to the Senate later that day. On January 3, 2019, her nomination was returned to the president under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6, of the United States Senate. On January 23, 2019,  Trump announced his intent to renominate Rao for a federal judgeship. Her nomination was sent to the Senate later that day.

Rao's nomination attracted some opposition due to some of her college writing on race, sexual assault, and feminism. In response, Rao publicly apologized for some of these writings. Rao was criticized by disability rights activists such as Rebecca Cokley for a 2011 blog post where she expressed opposition to bans on dwarf-tossing. A hearing on her nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee was held on February 5, 2019. Rao was asked by several Senators about her college writings, some of which they viewed as sexual assault victim blaming. Rao responded, "A victim of a horrible crime is not to blame and the person who commits those crimes should be held responsible."

Democrats expressed concern that rules Rao worked to repeal in her role as administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs could face legal challenges and wind up before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is considered the second most powerful appeals court. Rao said she would "look carefully at the standards for recusal, consult with her colleagues and follow the precedent and practices of the D.C. Circuit." Republican Senator Josh Hawley questioned whether she was sufficiently socially conservative regarding abortion rights but ultimately voted for her confirmation. On February 28, 2019, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote. On March 12, 2019, the Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 53–46 vote. On March 13, 2019, Rao was confirmed by a 53–46 vote. She received her judicial commission on March 18, 2019.

Notable opinions
In an October 11, 2019, opinion of a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Rao was the dissenter in a 2–1 ruling to affirm a district court ruling supporting a congressional subpoena for President Trump's records from the accounting firm Mazars. She wrote in her opinion that "allegations of illegal conduct against the president cannot be investigated by Congress except through impeachment."

Rao participated in the May 2020 appeal of Judge Emmet G. Sullivan's actions appointing amicus curiae in response to the Department of Justice moving to dismiss charges in United States v. Flynn. The Appeals Court initially ordered Judge Sullivan to file a response regarding the appeal within 10 days. On June 24, 2020, Rao wrote the 2–1 decision to dismiss the conviction of Flynn, joined by Judge Karen Henderson and with the dissent from Judge Robert Wilkins. Observers were surprised because Henderson had expressed skepticism over the government's position during the hearing. "I don't see why we don't observe regular order and allow him to rule," Henderson said. Flynn's lawyer, Sidney Powell, argued there was no longer any case or controversy, and the trial judge must dismiss the case against Flynn, at the request of the Trump Justice Department. After vacating the Rao decision, the full court heard the case on August 11, with many of the judges expressing skepticism about upholding the ruling. On August 31, 2020, the appeals court en banc ruled 8–2 in favor of denying the writ of mandamus, and not reassigning the case to a different district court judge, and remanded the case to Sullivan, with Judge Rao writing in dissent, joined by Henderson.

Personal life
Rao is married to Alan Lefkowitz, a former law school classmate, with whom she has 2 children. After marrying her husband, Rao converted to Judaism, however she still identifies as a Zoroastrian.
