JP Domain Name Registry Report 2019
2019.1-12 JP Domain Name Registry Report Japan Registry Services Co.,Ltd. Introduction The Internet is being used in increasingly broad and diverse areas of society as technology advances. Along with that, the need for domain names and the importance of the domain name system (DNS) are also being strengthened. With this background, the number of JP domain names surpassed 1.57 million in January 2020. Over 420,000 names are registered under “co.jp,” making it the most registered category in the Organizational Type JP Domain Name, the domain name space categorized by organizational type of registrants. 97% of publicly-listed companies in Japan have already registered “co.jp” domain names. JPRS is committed to its ongoing effort to improve JP domain name services, develop systems and carry out promotional activities to facilitate the use of JP domain names and deliver greater value to users. The domain name industry saw the number of domain names across TLDs increase. On the other hand, various challenges have continued to threaten the Internet infrastructure, such as domain hijacking that exploits falsified DNS configurations and detection of vulnerabilities in DNS software. As a company supporting the basis of the Internet society through domain names and DNS, JPRS is striving to make the Internet safe for everyone to use. To this end, JPRS promptly provides information and deals with risks and challenges related to domain names and DNS as they arise. JPRS also actively contributes to discussions of global issues and conveys relevant information to the communities in Japan. The management and administration of JP domain names require a high level of commitment to enhancing the public interest and getting ahead in the competition. -

INTRODUCTION Since the early 1990s, trafficking in persons has been among the major human rights problems in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In more recent years, however, "the focus of human traffickers ha[s] shifted to... Central Asia, a region fraught with social, political, and economic tension."' Existing research on the issue suggests that the fastest growth rates of trafficking are currently observed in the former Soviet Union, including Central Asia,2 and estimates that the region "is becoming the most important geographical source of trafficking in women in Asia."3 Further, trafficking in persons is a significant problem in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, * Mohamed Y. -

Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
TITLE:Vietnam Veterans Memorial LOCATION: Washington, D.C., U.S. DATE: . 1982 C.E. ARTIST: Maya Lin PERIOD/STYLE: Minimalism PATRON: The Commision of Fine Arts MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE: Granite FORM: Highly reflective black granite with incised names of 58,000 names ofVietnam Veterans who sacrificed their lives during the conflict. The name is an abstraction that means more to the family and friends than a pictorial representation. The two walls start very short and get progressively taller until they meet at an oblique angle at the monument’s center. One wall points towards the Washington Monument; the other points to the Lincoln Memorial. FUNCTION: It functions as a memorial to the soldiers that died during the Vietnam War. It is an ideal place for people to come and spend quiet time reflecting on the names and perhaps leaving mementos to the deceased. CONTENT: The walls are made of a dark igneous rock called gabbro, a type of granite, which is highly reflective when polished.The surface of the monument is etched with the 58,195 names of the Americans who died or remained missing in action in the Vietnam War. The names are listed in the order in which they were reported killed or missing in action. This makes the names harder to find, and re- quires a listing and numeric system of organization for visitors. CONTEXT: There were 1400 anonymous entries for this commission. There was a real backlash once her identity was known because of latent racism in the post Vietnam era. She defended her design in front of the United States Congress, who eventually reached a compro- mise: A group of more “traditional” sculptures, called “The Three Soldiers,” was erected near the monument. -

A Transpacific Query on f Absence Nayoung Aimee Kwon Franz Kafka, in a 1921 letter to Max Brod, his close confidant and literary executor, writes on the linguistic impossibilities for minor writers in relation to a major or metropolitan language: “[t]he impossibility of not writing, the impossibility of writing German, the impossibility of writing differently. One might also add a fourth impossibility, the impossibility of writing” (qtd. in Casanova 254). As someone researching a distant imperial context, what strikes me about Kafka’s oft-cited dilemma is how uncannily similar it is to the relatively little-known struggles of colonized authors writing from the periphery of the Japanese empire. Noting such parallels among far- flung yet similar power dynamics, this essay begins with a question: what might we learn from paying attention to these similarities be- tween a Jewish Czech author writing from the periphery of Germany, itself a minor empire vis-à-vis the dominant European empires, and the language struggles of minor authors writing in the periphery of Japan, another minor empire? How might comparing the uncanny similarities between these experiences of unhomeliness help us to clarify the little-understood but far-reaching entanglements of shifting border formations among major and minor imperial competitions and collusions?1 MFS Modern Fiction Studies, Volume 64, number 3, Fall 2018. -
