# Contemporary Japan

Contemporary Japan: A Review of Far Eastern Affairs was a quarterly Japanese English-language magazine published between 1932 and 1970 by the Foreign Affairs Association of Japan.
Though independently published, throughout its existence the magazine had close ties with the Japanese government. It was described by John W. Dower as "a valuable semi-official Japanese publication".

## Origin and content

Contemporary Japan was the flagship publication of the Foreign Affairs Association of Japan, an organization founded in October 1931 by Japanese politicians and intellectuals seeking to promote awareness in foreign countries about Japanese affairs. The editorial preface of the first issue explained the magazine's aim "to know and to make known what is going on in Japan and in the minds of the Japanese."
The bulk of each issue consisted of translations into English of the articles and speeches of Japanese writers, scholars, and politicians. The first issue, for instance, included contributions from Hakucho Masamune, Taketora Ogata, Yamamoto Jōtarō, and Sakutaro Tachi who was also one of its editors. The launch of the periodical was praised by the Financial Times "for the good work it will do in the propagation of a better knowledge of the nation" at a time when Japan's relations with the outside world were "increasingly complicated".
In June 1932 the magazine could be purchased for 1 yen and 50 sen per issue, but by 1970 the price per issue had risen to 1,500 yen.

### Links with the Japanese government

The Foreign Affairs Association of Japan which published Contemporary Japan had links with the Japanese government. In 1932 its administrative council included such figures as Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal Nobuaki Makino, former prime minister Kosai Uchida, future prime minister Fumimaro Konoe, and former foreign ministers Kijūrō Shidehara and Kikujiro Ishii. Though the magazine's first issue stressed that it had "no party affiliations, political or otherwise" and sought "to obtain as many representative opinions as possible", it also opened with a special message from Foreign Minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa, which was stridently defensive of Japan's conduct in Manchuria and Shanghai. The periodical later explained that "on controversial subjects, where national viewpoints are in conflict, it can be taken for granted that our contributors will defend, expound, and do their utmost to propagate, the Japanese view".
During the 1930s and 1940s Contemporary Japan was strongly supportive of Japanese imperialism and expansionism in China and after its formation the Cabinet Information Bureau, the official propaganda arm of the Imperial Japanese government, supported the magazine. Because of this its parent body, the Foreign Affairs Association of Japan, officially registered itself in the United States on November 29, 1938 as being an agent of the Japanese government.

## End of the magazine

Though Contemporary Japan continued to be produced during World War II and for decades after, publication abruptly ceased with volume 29 number 2 which was released in March 1970.

Mirrorwork is an album by the New Zealand musician Alastair Galbraith, released in 1998. It was released by Emperor Jones in the U.S.

## Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Where the joy of Mirrorwork comes in is how [Galbraith] works that combination to his own ends, coming up with some new, intriguing results. The combination of soft and clattering has been done before, for instance, but 'Ludd,' with prominent acoustic guitar in one speaker and various feedback growls and random noises in the other, is one of Galbraith's best balances between the two extremes."

# Corentin Cariou station

Corentin Cariou (French pronunciation:) is a station of the Paris Métro.

## History

Corentin Cariou opened on 5 November 1910 with the commissioning of the first section of line 7 between Opéra and Porte de la Villette with service provided by all trains on the line until 18 January 1911, when a branch opened from Louis Blanc to Pré-Saint-Gervais, resulting in 1 of every 2 trains serving this branch. It was once again served by all trains on the line when the branch from Louis Blanc to Pré-Saint-Gervais was split to form an independent line, line 7bis, on 3 December 1967.
It was originally named Pont de Flandre, after the nearby bridge spanning the Canal de Saint-Denis on which the rue de Flandre ran on, the main road in La Villette. On 10 February 1946, the station was renamed after Corentin Cariou (1898–1942) who was a member of the municipal council of the 19th arrondissement and was shot by the Nazis during the occupation as a hostage. It is one of 8 stations which were renamed after resistance fighters who had died for France, the others being Charles Michels (line 10), Colonel Fabien (line 2), Corentin Celton (line 12), Guy Môquet (line 13), Jacques Bonsergent (line 5), Marx Dormoy (line 12), and Trinité - d'Estienne d'Orves (line 12).
In 1982, the station was decorated with an artwork by the French artist Hervé Mathieu-Bachelot, De la verticale à l'oblique, consisting of a fresco that line the sides of the corridors.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station was renovated and modernised on 23 November 2001.
In 2019, the station was used by 2,766,678 passengers, making it the 191st busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.
In 2020, the station was used by 1,329,810 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 196th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.

## Passenger services
### Access

The station has 2 entrances:
* Entrance 1: rue Benjamin-Constant
* Entrance 2: Avenue Corentin-Cariou - Cité des sciences et de l'industrie

### Platforms

Corentin Cariou has a standard configuration with two tracks surrounded by two side platforms, although the lower part of the walls are vertical instead of a typical elliptical shape. The decoration is in the style used for the majority of metro stations. The bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, vault and tunnel exits, and lighting canopy is provided by two tube bands. The advertising frames are metallic and the name of the station is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plates. The seats are white 'Motte' style.

### Other connections

The station is also served by lines 60 and 71 of the RATP bus network and at night, by N42 of the Noctilien bus network.

# Misty (satellite program)

Misty is reportedly the name of a classified project by the United States National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to operate stealthy reconnaissance satellites. The satellites are conjectured to be photo reconnaissance satellites and the program has been the subject of atypically public debates about its worthiness in the defense budget since December 2004. The estimated project costs in 2004 were, at the time of statement, US$9.5 billion (inflation adjusted US$15.3 billion in 2023).

## Launches

The first satellite (USA-53 or 1990-019B, 19,600 kg) launched for the program was deployed on 1 March 1990 by the Space Shuttle Atlantis as part of Mission STS-36. Objects associated with the satellite decayed on 31 March 1990, but the satellite was seen and tracked later that year and in the mid-1990s by amateur observers. The second satellite (USA-144 or 1999-028A) was launched on 22 May 1999, and by 2004 the launch of a third satellite was planned for 2009. Circumstantial evidence suggested that the third satellite might be the payload of the Delta IV Heavy launch designated NROL-15, which was launched in June 2012.
| Name | COSPAR ID SATCAT No. | Launch date (UTC) | Launch vehicle | Launch site | Launch designation | Orbit | Remarks |
| USA-53 | 1990-019B 20516 | 28 February 1990 07:50 | Space Shuttle Atlantis | KSC LC-39A | STS-36 | 804 km × 804 km, i=65° | |
| USA-144 | 1999-028A 25744 | 22 May 1999 09:36 | Titan IV(404)B | VAFB SLC-4E | NROL-9 | | Enhanced Imaging System |

## Criticism

Porter Goss, a former Congressman and former CIA director, and George Tenet, former CIA director, have both vigorously supported successors to Misty, despite several attempts by Senators Dianne Feinstein and John D. Rockefeller IV to terminate the program. The primary contractor is Lockheed Martin Space Systems.
On 21 June 2007, the Associated Press reported that Director of National Intelligence John Michael McConnell had cancelled the Misty program. A spokesperson for McConnell confirmed that McConnell has the authority to cancel projects, but declined to comment further.
