Gosei are a series of questions which each cadet is expected to ask himself each day.
These five open-ended questions are part of the traditions of Japan's Naval Academy.
In the early 1930s, the related Gosei concepts were created by Vice Admiral Hajime Matsushita when he was the Chief of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy.
In the late-Shōwa period, the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) encouraged the use of the Gosei as a self-examination exercise.
In today's JMSDF, Gosei is supposed to be one of the ordinary parts of daily living.
Every evening, Japan's Navy cadets are expected to think carefully about a their actions during the course of the day.
This opportunity for self-reflection is guided by the set of five questions,  including
Have you not gone against sincerity
Have you not felt ashamed of your words and deeds
Have you not lacked vigor
Have you not exerted all possible efforts
Have you not become slothful
The Gosei questions have been translated into English for discussion at the United States Naval Academy.

Loie (or Loïe) Fuller  (January 15, 1862 – January 1, 1928) was a pioneer of modern dance.
She had no dance training, but got experience acting on the stage.
A chance experiment with an over-long skirt gave her ideas which she eventually developed into a dance.
Fuller was born Marie Louise Fuller in the Chicago suburb of Fullersburg (now Hinsdale, Illinois).
She began her theatrical career as a professional child actress and later choreographed and performed dances in burlesque (as a skirt dancer), vaudeville, and circus shows.
Fuller developed her own natural movement and improvisation techniques.
Fuller combined her choreography with silk costumes seen by multi-coloured lighting of her own design.
Although Fuller became famous in America through works such as Serpentine Dance (1891), she felt that she was not taken seriously by the public.
Her warm reception in Paris during a European tour persuaded Fuller to stay in France.
A regular performer at the Folies Bergère with works such as Fire Dance, Fuller became the embodiment of the Art Nouveau movement.
An 1896 film of the Serpentine Dance gives a hint of what her performance was like (the unknown dancer in the film is not Fuller).
In connecting free dance, billowing skirts and materials, color and lighting effects, Fuller was in sympathy with several other dancers of that period.
All performed in Paris, on the Moulin Rouge or Folies Bergère stage, or both.
These stages, as was usual in music hall generally, offered a series of separate acts rather than one continuous work.
Fuller held patents related to stage lighting.
They including chemical compounds for creating color gel and the use of chemical salts for lluminescent lighting, and garments (stage costumes US Patent 518347).
She tried to create a patent of her Serpentine Dance to stop imitators from using her choreography or claiming to be her.
Fuller gave a written description of her dance to the United States Copyright Office; however, a US Circuit Court judge denied Fuller's request for an injunction.
The Serpentine Dance told no story and was therefore not eligible for copyright protection.
At that time dance was only protected if it qualified as "dramatic" and Fuller's dance was too abstract for this qualification.
The precedent set by Fuller's case remained in place from 1892 until 1976, when Federal Copyright Law extended protection to choreographic works.
Fuller's autobiographical memoire "Quinze ans de ma vie" was written in French and published by in 1908 with an introduction by Anatole France.
She drafted her memoires again in English a few years later, which were published under the title "Fifteen Years of a Dancer's Life" by Herbert Jenkins (London) in 1913.
The New York Public Library Jerome Robbins Dance Collection holds the nearly complete manuscript to the English edition and materials related to the French edition.
Frank H. Ono (June 5, 1923 – May 6, 1980) was a United States Army soldier.
Ono was born in Colorado.
His parents were immigrants from Japan.
For his actions in July 1944, Ono  was awarded the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).
Ono's award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
Ono's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in northern Italy in 1944.
He held an advance position alone.
He treated wounded men; and he remained behind to provide covering fire as his unit withdrew.
Private First Class Frank H. Ono distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 4 July 1944, near Castellina, Italy.
In attacking a heavily defended hill, Private First Class Ono's squad was caught in a hail of formidable fire from the well-entrenched enemy.
Private First Class Ono opened fire with his automatic rifle and silenced one machine gun 300 hundred yards to the right front.
Advancing through incessant fire, he killed a sniper with another burst of fire, and while his squad leader reorganized the rest of the platoon in the rear, he alone defended the critical position.
His weapon was then wrenched from his grasp by a burst of enemy machine pistol fire as enemy troops attempted to close in on him.
Hurling hand grenades, Private First Class Ono forced the enemy to abandon the attempt, resolutely defending the newly won ground until the rest of the platoon moved forward.
Taking a wounded comrade's rifle, Private First Class Ono again joined in the assault.
After killing two more enemy soldiers, he boldly ran through withering automatic, small arms, and mortar fire to render first aid to his platoon leader and a seriously wounded rifleman.
In danger of being encircled, the platoon was ordered to withdraw.
Volunteering to cover the platoon, Private First Class Ono occupied virtually unprotected positions near the crest of the hill, engaging an enemy machine gun emplaced on an adjoining ridge and exchanging fire with snipers armed with machine pistols.
Completely disregarding his own safety, he made himself the constant target of concentrated enemy fire until the platoon reached the comparative safety of a draw.
He then descended the hill in stages, firing his rifle, until he rejoined the platoon.
Private First Class Ono's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.

The Nationalist Party of Australia was an Australian political party.
It began on 17 February 1917 when the conservative Commonwealth Liberal Party and the National Labor Party (NLP) joined together.
The Nationalist Party held government until 1929.
It was the major opposition to the Labor party.
In 1931 it joined with a group who left the Labor Party led by Joseph Lyons and became the United Australia Party.
This was the basis of the Liberal Party of Australia which began in 1944.
In October 1915 Prime Minister Andrew Fisher retired.
The Australian Labor Party (ALP) chose Billy Hughes to be the new leader and Prime Minister.
He was a strong supporter of Australia's participation in World War I. After a visit to Britain in 1916 he decided that conscription was necessary to get enough soldiers for the Australian army.
Most of his party, especially the trade unions, did not support conscription.
There were also many Irish Roman Catholics in the Labor Party who did not want to support the British government.
This was because of the British government's actions against the Irish Easter Uprising of 1916.
In October Hughes held a plebiscite to get support to start conscription, but the plebiscite was narrowly defeated.
Melbourne's Catholic Archbishop, Daniel Mannix, was his main opponent on the conscription issue.
Hughes continued to argue in favour of conscription.
This produced a deep and bitter split within the Australian community, as well as within the members of his own party.
On 15 September 1916 NSW branch of the Labor Party forced Hughes from the Labor Party.
When the Federal Parliamentary Labor caucus met on 14 November 1916, there was a lot of argument.
Hughes and 24 other Labor members walked out.
The remaining 43 members passed a motion of no confidence in the leadership.
This removed Hughes and the other members from the ALP.
Hughes and his followers formed a new party, the National Labor Party.
They were able to govern with support from Joseph Cook and his Commonwealth Liberal Party.
In February 1917, the two groups joined to form the Nationalist Party, with Hughes as leader and Cook as deputy leader.
The Nationlists, with Liberal and Labor members, were able to present an image of national unity.
In May 1917 the Nationalists won a huge electoral victory.
At this election Hughes abandoned his working-class seat of West Sydney, and was elected for Bendigo in Victoria.
Hughes had promised to resign if his Government did not win the power to conscript.
A second vote was held in December 1917, but was again defeated, this time by even more votes.
Hughes resigned as Prime Minister but, as he was the leader of the majority party, the Governor-General, Sir Ronald Munro Ferguson, immediately asked him to be Prime Minister again.
Hughes was able to remain as Prime Minister while keeping his promise to resign.
Hughes and the Nationalists governed on their own until the elections of 1922.
The new Country Party gained quite a few seats in the House of Representatives.
The Nationalists did not have a majority to govern and needed Country Party support.
However, the Country Party did not like Hughes' rural policy.
Their leader, Earle Page said he would not serve under him.
Many in the Nationalist Party did not fully support Hughes, suspecting he was still really a socialist.
Page's demand finally gave them an excuse, and without support Hughes was forced to resign in January 1923.
Former Treasurer Stanley Bruce was chosen as leader, and quickly entered into a coalition with the Country Party.
The price, however, was high.
The Country Party demanded five seats in cabinet (out of 11), including the Treasurer's post and the deputy Prime Minister position for Page.
However, Bruce agreed rather than force another election.
This was the start of the traditional coalition of non-Labor parties.
Under Bruce's leadership the Nationalists became much more conservative.
The Nationalist-Country coalition won a huge victory in 1925.
It was reelected in 1928, though with a significantly less support.
In 1929 when Bruce tried to bring in new laws to change the industrial arbitration system, this was too much for Hughes.
He and his supportes voted against the laws, and the government, no longer controlling a majority, called an early election.
The Coalition was defeated, even Bruce even lost his own seat.
He was succeeded as leader by former Attorney-General John Latham.
Having only ever been in government they were not prepared for a role in opposition.
However in 1931, a group of Labor Party members led by Joseph Lyons, left the ALP to join the conservatives.
They formed a new group, the United Australia Party (UAP).
Most of the UAP were former Nationalists, but they chose Lyons as leader and Prime Minister  The UAP replaced the Nationalists as the main conservative anti-Labor Party.
Young Nationalists Organisation
Around 1929 Robert Menzies, a member of the Victorian Parliament, joined with Wilfrid Kent Hughes to form the Young Nationalists Organisation.
The organisation kept its name when even when the Nationalists became the UAP.
Half the UAP members elected in the 1932 Victorian state election were Young Nationalists.
In 1932 the Premier, Sir Stanley Argyle, included three of them in his eight-person cabinet, including Menzies as Deputy Premier.
Later, when Menzies founded the Liberal Party of Australia, he invited delegates from the Young Nationalists to attend.
The Young Nationalists followed the UAP into the Liberal Party, and Menzies formed the Young Liberals to replace them.

The Australian Labor Party (NSW) was an Australian political party commonly known as Lang Labor.
It was the New South Wales branch of the Australian Labor Party which broke away from the national party and acted independently from 1931 to 1936.
In 1931 Jack Lang, the Premier of New South Wales, announced the "Lang Plan".
This plan would reduce the effects of the Great Depression.
The main feature of the plan was to stop making loan repayments to foreign banks.
This was the opposite of the policy of the federal Labor government led by James Scullin.
As a result, Lang's supporters, led by Jack Beasley and Eddie Ward, were forced out of the federal Caucus.
This led to a split between the Federal and State leaders of the Labor party.
In 1931 Lang's supporters voted with the United Australia Party Opposition in the House of Representatives to bring down the Scullin government.
This caused an early election.
The New South Wales Branch ran candidates as the Australian Labor Party (New South Wales).
They were known as "Lang Labor" candidates.
Supporters of the federal party (led in New South Wales by Ted Theodore and Ben Chifley) were known as Federal Labor candidates.
The elections were a huge defeat for Labor, but most of the Lang members had safe working class seats and survived.
Ward was narrowly defeated in East Sydney. (
He was re-elected at a by-election in 1932).
Theodore and Chifley were both defeated, and Federal Labor won only three seats in New South Wales.
At the 1934 federal elections Federal Labor won only one seat (Newcastle).
In 1935 John Curtin became the new federal Labor leader.
In February 1936 he brought about a reconciliation with the New South Wales Branch.
At the 1937 elections Labor ran as a united party in New South Wales.

It has been held by the Australian Labor Party since it was created.
Labor has never got less than 58 percent of the two-party vote in a general election.
It has only come close to losing it once, when it got 53 percent in a 1935 by-election.
It is the only original Division to be held by just one party since the first Federal election.
The Division of Newcastle has had just five members since 1901.
This is the fewest of any of the original Divisions.
From 1901 to 1958, the seat was held by the Watkins family.
David Oliver took over from his father David in 1935.
Allan Morris' brother, Peter was also in the Federal Parliament, representing the Division of Shortland.
Charles Jones' brother, Sam, was in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

He drew fire towards himself so that his platoon could reach cover.
He was killed while rescuing a wounded man.
Staff Sergeant Kazuo Otani distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 15 July 1944, near Pieve Di S. Luce, Italy.
Advancing to attack a hill objective, Staff Sergeant Otani's platoon became pinned down in a wheat field by concentrated fire from enemy machine gun and sniper positions.
Realizing the danger confronting his platoon, Staff Sergeant Otani left his cover and shot and killed a sniper who was firing with deadly effect upon the platoon.
Followed by a steady stream of machine gun bullets, Staff Sergeant Otani then dashed across the open wheat field toward the foot of a cliff, and directed his men to crawl to the cover of the cliff.
When the movement of the platoon drew heavy enemy fire, he dashed along the cliff toward the left flank, exposing himself to enemy fire.
By attracting the attention of the enemy, he enabled the men closest to the cliff to reach cover.
Organizing these men to guard against possible enemy counterattack, Staff Sergeant Otani again made his way across the open field, shouting instructions to the stranded men while continuing to draw enemy fire.
Reaching the rear of the platoon position, he took partial cover in a shallow ditch and directed covering fire for the men who had begun to move forward.
At this point, one of his men became seriously wounded.
Ordering his men to remain under cover, Staff Sergeant Otani crawled to the wounded soldier who was lying on open ground in full view of the enemy.
Dragging the wounded soldier to a shallow ditch, Staff Sergeant Otani proceeded to render first aid treatment, but was mortally wounded by machine gun fire.
Staff Sergeant Otani's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.

That erased the distinction between civil and military resources.
Over 60 million people, the majority of them civilians, were killed.
It is the deadliest conflict in human history.
The Allies were victorious and the United States and Soviet Union emerged as the world's two leading superpowers.
During this conflict 464 United States military personnel received the Medal of Honor.
266 of them posthumously.
By the end of the war only two Asian Americans had been awarded the Medal of Honor.
One was to Sergeant Jose Calugas of the Philippine Scouts.
The second was to Private Sadao S. Munemori of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
A 1996 study commissioned by the United States Army by order of Congress investigated racial discrimination in the awarding of medals during World War II.
The Command History Office at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey, California was tasked with identifying affected service-members and reviewing the records.
After performing a review of the files, the study recommended that several Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who received the Distinguished Service Cross during World War II should be upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
On June 21, 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal to 22 Asian Americans, 21 from the aforementioned study, in a ceremony at the White House.
Of the 24 Asian American awardees, 21 earned the Medal while serving with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team or its component unit, the 100th Infantry Battalion, making the 442nd the most decorated regiment-sized unit of the war.
Only two Asian American officers received the Medal of Honor during World War II: Captain Francis B. Wai who received it for drawing enemy fire to himself to reveal their positions and Second Lieutenant Daniel Inouye who received his medal for destroying two machine gun nests and continuing to fight after being wounded.
Inouye became the first U.S. Representative for Hawaii and the first Japanese American congressman; he served as one of Hawaii's U.S. Senators from 1963 continuously until his death in 2012.
The Korean War was an escalation of border clashes between two rival Korean regimes, each of which was supported by external powers; each tried to topple the other through political and guerilla tactics.
In a narrow sense, some may refer to it as a civil war, though many other factors were at play.
After failing to strengthen their cause in the free elections held in South Korea during May 1950 and the refusal of South Korea to hold new elections per North Korean demands, the communist North Korean Army moved south on June 25, 1950 to attempt to reunite the Korean peninsula, which had been formally divided since 1948.
In the early stages of the war, President Harry Truman sometimes described the conflict under the aegis of the United Nations as a "police action" rather than use the term war.
One Asian American received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Korean War.
Hiroshi H. Miyamura was captured by Chinese forces and held as a prisoner of war for 28 months.
For his protection, news of his Medal of Honor award was classified until his release from captivity.
The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, and in Vietnam as the American War, occurred from 1959 to April 30, 1975.
The term Vietnam Conflict is often used to refer to events which took place between 1959 and April 30, 1975.
The war was fought between the Communist-supported Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the United States supported Republic of Vietnam.
It concluded with the defeat and failure of the United States foreign policy in Vietnam.
On April 30, 1975, the capital of South Vietnam, Saigon fell to the communist forces of North Vietnam, effectively ending the Vietnam War.
Over 8.7 million U.S. forces participated in the Vietnam War; of whom slightly over 47,000 were killed in battle and almost 11,000 more died of non-battle causes.
During the Vietnam War three Asian Americans received the Medal of Honor, all of them posthumously.

The Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) is a species of marine crab, and is the only member in the genus Macrocheira.
It is found only in the waters around Japan.
The Japanese spider crab has the largest leg span of any arthropod in the world, reaching up to 3.8 meters (12 ft) long, and weighing up to 41 pounds (19 kg).
The Japanese spider crab has the largest leg span of any arthropod in the world, reaching up to 3.8 meters (12 ft) long, and weighing up to 19 kg (41 pounds), but the actual body of the Japanese spider crab is only 38 cm (15 inches) long.
The Japanese spider crab has 8 legs and 2 arms used for feeding.
Each feeding arm is 1.5 meters (5 ft) long.
The Japanese spider crab is different from other crab species because the first pleopods (legs which help them swim, catch food, hold their eggs, and sometimes has gills on it) of the males are twisted, and its larvae are not very complicated organisms unlike other crab species larvae.
It is orange in colour, with white spots on its legs.
Although the Japanese spider crab has some ferocious appearances, it is actually known to be very gentle towards others.
The Japanese spider crab is found in the Pacific side of the Japanese islands, Konshu and Kyushu, usually at a latitude between 30 and 40 degrees North.
They are found usually in the Sagami, Suruga, and Tosa bays, as well as off the coast of the Kii peninsula.
However, a Japanese spider crab was once found as far south as Su-ao, in eastern Taiwan.
This is most likely a one time event; it is possible a fishing trawler or extreme weather may have carried this individual much further south than its home range.
The Japanese spider crab is found up to the depths of 2,500 feet (750 meters).
The Japanese spider crab is a scavenger, meaning it feeds mostly on dead animals, but it also feeds on shellfish, opening the shells with its giant claws to feed on them.
After molting, these crabs will eat their own shell to get some important nutrients.
It is one of the longest living creatures in the world, living up to 100 years.
