Gods, Religion and Its Criticism in the Greek Aesopic Fables
About a hundred Greek fables from the Aesopic tradition contain direct or allegorical references to religion. These references were not sufficiently studied. As a whole, they represent an anonymous, popular approach to religion from the Hellenistic period, with some sources in the earlier times. They have some importance for the history of Greek religion. These fables may be divided into two groups. The first group presents gods and mythology, with the dominant role of Zeus, near to henotheism; other gods are not really important. However, Prometheus is sometimes presented as the maker. The second group contains criticisms of religion, idolatry and misguided prayer (with Hermes as the butt of jokes)
Technology Choice in the IT Industry and Changes of the Trade Structure
In the IT industry, there has been a remarkable increase in the demand for
system LSI. A system LSI must be produced, tailor-designed for each electrical
appliance. It is said that this production method has made the IC cycle ambiguous in
recent years. It can be sought that the choice of whether the economy pursues a
development path centering on technology which is tradable or technology which is
embodied in labor, depends on the historical background. The relationship between
these two types of technologies is changing rapidly every one or two years. In this
background, the analysis is focused on the new trend of technology. In the section 2,
the newest trend of technology in the field of system LSI is explained. Then, which
kind of technology will be developed and how it will have an affect in the near
future, is considered.Technology Choice, IT industry, Trade Structure, System LSI, Information technology, Information services industry

Enemy resistance was stronger than expected and teh Canadian attack was met by strong German counterattacks supported by armour. During the course of the battle, two units, the Essex Scottish Regiment and the South Saskatchewan Regiment were driven back. In the aftermath of the battle the Essex Scottish Regiment and their commanding officer were criticized for their poor performance. This article examines the battle in an attempt to understand who was to blame. Lieutenant–Colonel B.J.S. MacDonald, the commanding officer of the Essex Scots, was fired for his role in the battle, but this article posits that Brigadier Hugh A. Young bears the greater share of responsibility for the operation’s failure
