【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】For the Love of God A Chronicle of Faith through Suffering【電子書籍】[ John Wagner ]

＜p＞From childhood, John Wagner struggled with dyslexia, ADHD and severe environmental allergies. His young adulthood was marked by the additions of multiple food allergies, ulcerative colitis, and Lyme Disease. Naturally, these physical handicaps led to intense feelings of inadequacy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞John had always known Jesus. He was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church as an infant, attended Sunday Mass with his family every week, and vividly recalls a moment as a young boy when, in his mind's eye, he saw Jesus lovingly holding him in His lap. The dichotomy of John's faith and his many illnesses caused him to question God many times throughout his life, and sometimes even be extremely angry at Him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yet nothing could ever take away John's love for his Father... or could it?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In midlife, as John continued to deal with the challenges of his youth, in addition to an ever-changing array of new symptoms, he begins to wonder if a solution will ever be found... if healing is nothing more than a pipe dream.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞For the Love of God＜/em＞ is the story of a man who is pushed to the outermost limits of his refusal to give up on his Lord despite lifelong suffering. It is the chronicle of seeking the manifested evidence of faith when living for the love of God.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Advanced Multiphasing Switched-Capacitor DC-DC Converters Pushing the Limits of Fully Integrated Power Management【電子書籍】[ Nicolas Butzen ]

＜p＞This book gives a detailed analysis of switched-capacitor DC-DC converters that are entirely integrated on a single chip and establishes that these converters are mainly limited by the large parasitic coupling, the low capacitor energy density, and the fact that switched-capacitor converter topologies only have a fixed voltage conversion ratio. The authors introduce the concept of Advanced Multiphasing as a way to circumvent these limitations by having multiple out-of-phase parallel converter cores interact with each other to minimize capacitor charging losses, leading to several techniques that demonstrate record efficiency and power-density, and even a fundamentally new type of switched-capacitor topology that has a continuously-scalable conversion ratio.＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞Provides single-source reference to the recently-developed Advanced Multiphasing concept;＜/li＞ ＜li＞Enables greatly improved performance and capabilities in fully integrated switched-capacitor converters;＜/li＞ ＜li＞Enables readers to design DC-DC converters, where multiple converter cores are put in parallel and actively interact with each other over several phases to improve their capabilities.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Calories, carbohydrates, and fat have all been accused. That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We put the blame on our diet plans. That was ineffective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's time to examine the activity of dieting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Because they are based on dieting, almost all diets are unsuccessful. Everybody has a diet, but only those who are attempting to lose weight actually follow a diet (verb).

You are aware of this if you have attempted dieting.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If it is treated from the typical dieting perspective, even the "ideal diet" with the correct foods will fail. We often hear amazing lectures about nutrition followed by the same stupid advice to "immediately start eating entirely different things from the ones you're routinely used to eating, and give up everything else," since weight reduction gurus are more interested in biology than neurology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Do You Struggle Against Your Own Body And Mind?＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The brain resists significant changes in behavior. The original How To Lose Weight Once And For All became the best-selling self-help book worldwide as a result of recognizing this and creating a plan around it.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Language of Living Matter How Molecules Acquire Meaning【電子書籍】[ Bernd-Olaf K?ppers ]

＜p＞This book, by an eminent scientist and philosopher, provides strong evidence for the claim that language is a general principle of Nature, rooted exclusively in physical and chemical laws. The author’s radical idea inevitably leads us to view the essence, origin and evolution of life in a completely new light. It shifts the coordinates of our scientific world-view in favor of an overarching concept of language that is able to bridge the gap between matter and mind. At the same time, it removes a blind spot in the Darwinian concept of evolution.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To justify this far-reaching idea, the book takes a long and deep look at our scientific and philosophical thinking, at language as such, at science’s claim to truth, and at its methods, unity, limits and perspectives. These are the cornerstones structuring the book into six thematically self-contained chapters, rounded off by an epilogue that introduces the new topic of Nature’s semantics. The range of issues covered is a testimony to how progress in the life sciences is transforming the whole edifice of science, from physics to biology and beyond. The book is aimed at a broad academic and general readership; it requires no mathematical expertise.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Space exploration and off-world commercial activity engage the attention of both enthusiasts and skeptics. Despite differing opinions, what does seem clear is that such activity has increased and is set to expand further--and dramatically so--during the present century.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores some of the ethical issues of the emerging space frontier and evaluates the prospects for the medium-range future: Can terraforming of other worlds succeed? Would it be defensible? Should there be limits to mining in space? Do lifeless planets have an integrity that ought to be respected? Could indigenous microbacteria have intrinsic value? Do we have a duty to extend human life?＜/p＞ ＜p＞The ethics of sending generation ships on interstellar journeys and the risks associated with seeding other worlds with rudimentary forms of life are also discussed. As exploration is as much about humanity as it is about space, the book concludes with a study of the connection between the sharing of a home planet and membership of a single moral community.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) has been off-limits to human habitation for nearly seventy years, and in that time, biodiverse forms of life have flourished in and around the DMZ as beneficiaries of an unresolved war. In ＜em＞Making Peace with Nature＜/em＞ Eleana J. Kim shows how a closer examination of the DMZ in South Korea reveals that the area’s biodiversity is inseparable from scientific practices and geopolitical, capitalist, and ecological dynamics. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with ecologists, scientists, and local residents, Kim focuses on irrigation ponds, migratory bird flyways, and land mines in the South Korean DMZ area, demonstrating how human and nonhuman ecologies interact and transform in spaces defined by war and militarization. In so doing, Kim reframes peace away from a human-oriented political or economic peace and toward a more-than-human, biological peace. Such a peace recognizes the reality of war while pointing to potential forms of human and nonhuman relations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】AI on the Frontlines Cyber Defence and Offensive Strategies for the Digital Age【電子書籍】[ GEW Intelligence Unit ]

＜p＞The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has drastically altered the conditions of warfare. AI now plays an integral role in every facet of a nation-state's military/surveillance structure, from cybersecurity to espionage to covert operations. AI technologies are reshaping the science of cyber warfare. A single slip could mean dire consequences with the new world order where AI technologies have become mainstream not just for nation states but organisations as well. For organisation and state-sponsored alike, the associated risk grows ever higher against stakes that have outpaced sophistication which can be claimed to be unprecedented. This book outlines the new standards where deep learning, automated reasoning, and advanced algorithms have created new frontiers on offence and defence in digital warfare. A single error in enterprise security could lead to the downfall of a business. Exceeding malware threats and recovering inside jobs have become trivially easy now AI powered programmes have taken the wheel. AI systems can execute actions at lightning speeds allowing business alongside governments to carry out covert operations without breaking a sweat. A powerful pioneer such as AI comes with risks that do not only end at the sidelines. Offensively, AI can now be applied to autonomously run social engineering schemes through swiftly mobilisable global bots that rapidly span across borders. These nodes come armed with advanced features like adaptive maneuvers and evasion protocols, allowing them to adapt the information they feed to infiltrator malware all while dodging identifiers and making undetectable changes in real time. In a world superseded by advanced technologies, one does not simply remain undetected.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By using practical examples and future-focused studies, the book explores how AI can act as both a protective shield and a sword. Most importantly, the book does not act as a mere technical guide. It analyses the social, legal, and political consequences of AI cyber-power strategies. What constitutes permissible boundaries of electronic warfare? How do global treaties cope with autonomous strategy algorithms for attacking? In an AI-enabled warfare, where does human accountability start and stop? It is intended for practitioners in security, IT executives, scholars, and other concerned citizens who wish to engage with the future of digital technology. This book untangles the complicated theories and concepts of modern cyber defence and offence, equipping readers to deal with these challenges in the future. If you are looking for protective strategies for your organisation, or want to understand emerging cyber threats, Cyber Defence and Offensive AI Strategies offers an authoritative yet balanced take on the global intelligence competition that is urgently reshaping the world's digital infrastructure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This text will be highly useful for cybersecurity practitioners, IT managers, penetration testers, and threat intelligence analysts looking to familiarise themselves with the new dimensions of AI technology in both defence and offence of cyber domains. Security architects and CISOs will find relevant actionable strategies on use of AI in their defensive strategies, while educators, students, and researchers in computer science and security studies will find a thorough contemporary reference. Besides, policymakers, lawyers, and ethical commentators concerned with the social consequences of autonomous cyber operations would be interested in the book's discussions on regulation and the limits of warfare in cyberspace. It doesn't matter whether you are a seasoned authority, an emerging professional, or simply someone who cares about the evolution of digital security. This book is a must-read for you.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A new internet is promised as a solution, one that aims to overcome the boundaries between the real and the virtual world, merging reality and digitalityーthe metaverse. Technical, semantic, and organizational details are closely intertwined in this context.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But what does this mean upon closer examination? What technical and technological challenges must be overcome to achieve such a merging? What economic opportunities ariseーand which ones may be precluded? How can we ensure that an open and universally accessible metaverse is created? And how can we prevent a few large providers from imposing their proprietary ideas in this new metaverse?

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Lower Previsions【電子書籍】[ Matthias C. M. Troffaes ]

＜p＞This book has two main purposes. On the one hand, it provides a＜br /＞ concise and systematic development of the theory of lower previsions,＜br /＞ based on the concept of acceptability, in spirit of the work of＜br /＞ Williams and Walley. On the other hand, it also extends this theory to＜br /＞ deal with unbounded quantities, which abound in practical＜br /＞ applications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Following Williams, we start out with sets of acceptable gambles. From＜br /＞ those, we derive rationality criteria---avoiding sure loss and＜br /＞ coherence---and inference methods---natural extension---for＜br /＞ (unconditional) lower previsions. We then proceed to study various＜br /＞ aspects of the resulting theory, including the concept of expectation＜br /＞ (linear previsions), limits, vacuous models, classical propositional＜br /＞ logic, lower oscillations, and monotone convergence. We discuss＜br /＞ n-monotonicity for lower previsions, and relate lower previsions with＜br /＞ Choquet integration, belief functions, random sets, possibility＜br /＞ measures, various integrals, symmetry, and representation theorems＜br /＞ based on the Bishop-De Leeuw theorem.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Next, we extend the framework of sets of acceptable gambles to consider＜br /＞ also unbounded quantities. As before, we again derive rationality＜br /＞ criteria and inference methods for lower previsions, this time also＜br /＞ allowing for conditioning. We apply this theory to construct＜br /＞ extensions of lower previsions from bounded random quantities to a＜br /＞ larger set of random quantities, based on ideas borrowed from the＜br /＞ theory of Dunford integration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A first step is to extend a lower prevision to random quantities that＜br /＞ are bounded on the complement of a null set (essentially bounded＜br /＞ random quantities). This extension is achieved by a natural extension＜br /＞ procedure that can be motivated by a rationality axiom stating that＜br /＞ adding null random quantities does not affect acceptability.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a further step, we approximate unbounded random quantities by a＜br /＞ sequences of bounded ones, and, in essence, we identify those for＜br /＞ which the induced lower prevision limit does not depend on the details＜br /＞ of the approximation. We call those random quantities 'previsible'. We＜br /＞ study previsibility by cut sequences, and arrive at a simple＜br /＞ sufficient condition. For the 2-monotone case, we establish a Choquet＜br /＞ integral representation for the extension. For the general case, we＜br /＞ prove that the extension can always be written as an envelope of＜br /＞ Dunford integrals. We end with some examples of the theory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Never Enough for Yourself: The Fear of Being Seen, the Fear of Failing, and the Anxiety That Keeps You Paralyzed【電子書籍】[ Walter L. Joyce ]

＜p＞For those caught in the relentless grip of self-doubt, there is a silent, ever-present fear that keeps them from moving forward. A fear of being seen, of showing their true selves to the worldーcoupled with a constant, nagging anxiety about failing. These emotions don't just hinder progress; they paralyze, keeping you locked in a cycle of inaction, constantly second-guessing, and unable to move toward your goals with confidence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ dives deep into this paralyzing fear, providing an insightful exploration of the psychological factors at play. It uncovers how the fear of exposureーthe anxiety that accompanies the idea of being judged or scrutinizedーprevents people from living authentically. This book takes a hard look at why we avoid being seen for who we truly are, how we sabotage our own potential, and the cost of living in this self-imposed hiding.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout this book, readers will gain a clear understanding of how the fear of failure and the overwhelming sense of never being ＜strong＞"enough"＜/strong＞ keep them locked in a state of constant self-doubt. The narrative doesn't just highlight the problem; it dissects the internal dialogue, offering a clear map of the mind's constant battle between ambition and insecurity. It challenges the idea that failure is something to be avoided at all costs and shows how this mindset actually limits growth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each chapter is dedicated to unmasking a layer of fear that holds people backーfear of being judged, fear of being vulnerable, fear of not measuring up. By dissecting the nuances of these fears, the book reveals how they quietly dictate actions, keeping the individual from taking risks or stepping into new opportunities. The narrative brings light to the fact that these fears are often rooted in deeper insecurities, learned behaviors, and societal expectations that have been internalized over time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What becomes clear is that the anxiety driving these fears isn't merely about the fear of external judgment or failure. It is a fear rooted in the very core of self-worth. The idea of never being enough creates a deep sense of inadequacy, which further reinforces the cycle of avoidance and paralysis. The book shows how individuals are caught in this loop, never quite able to embrace their full potential because they are trapped in a state of constant self-criticism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through real-life examples and insightful analysis, ＜em＞＜strong＞Never Enough for Yourself＜/strong＞＜/em＞ shows how fear manifests in various aspects of lifeーfrom work to relationships, from creativity to self-expression. The constant pressure to prove oneself, to meet expectations, and to avoid mistakes, prevents people from taking the necessary steps toward success. The book explores how even those with apparent outward success can be secretly drowning in their own insecurities, afraid that any misstep will expose their inadequacies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the book does not leave readers in this state of helplessness. It also provides practical guidance for how to break free from these fears and anxieties. Through a series of exercises and strategies, it empowers readers to challenge the beliefs that fuel their self-doubt. The book encourages shifting the focus away from perfection and external validation to self-compassion and acceptance. It offers tools to help readers confront their fears head-on, allowing them to take the necessary steps toward personal growth and self-empowerment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What readers will find most valuable is the sense of clarity they will gain from this book. It's not about simply identifying fears but understanding how these fears operate and how to disrupt them. By understanding the mechanisms behind the fear of failure and the anxiety of never being enough, readers can start to shift their mindset and take bold actions without being paralyzed by self-doubt.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】High-Performance D/A-Converters Application to Digital Transceivers【電子書籍】[ Martin Clara ]

＜p＞This book deals with modeling and implementation of high performance, current-steering D/A-converters for digital transceivers in nanometer CMOS technology. In the first part, the fundamental performance limitations of current-steering DACs are discussed. Based on simplified models, closed-form expressions for a number of basic non-ideal effects are derived and tested. With the knowledge of basic performance limits, the converter and system architecture can be optimized in an early design phase, trading off circuit complexity, silicon area and power dissipation for static and dynamic performance. The second part describes four different current-steering DAC designs in standard 130 nm CMOS. The converters have a resolution in the range of 12-14 bits for an analog bandwidth between 2.2 MHz and 50 MHz and sampling rates from 100 MHz to 350 MHz. Dynamic-Element-Matching (DEM) and advanced dynamic current calibration techniques are employed to minimize the required silicon area.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】What Science Knows And How It Knows It【電子書籍】[ James Franklin ]

＜p＞To scientists, the tsunami of relativism, scepticism, and postmodernism that washed through the humanities in the twentieth century was all water off a duck’s back. Science remained committed to objectivity and continued to deliver remarkable discoveries and improvements in technology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In What Science Knows, the Australian philosopher and mathematician James Franklin explains in captivating and straightforward prose how science works its magic. He begins with an account of the nature of evidence, where science imitates but extends commonsense and legal reasoning in basing conclusions solidly on inductive reasoning from facts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After a brief survey of the furniture of the world as science sees it-including causes, laws, dispositions and force fields as well as material things-Franklin describes colorful examples of discoveries in the natural, mathematical, and social sciences and the reasons for believing them. He examines the limits of science, giving special attention both to mysteries that may be solved by science, such as the origin of life, and those that may in principle be beyond the reach of science, such as the meaning of ethics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What Science Knows will appeal to anyone who wants a sound, readable, and well-paced introduction to the intellectual edifice that is science. On the other hand it will not please the enemies of science, whose willful misunderstandings of scientific method and the relation of evidence to conclusions Franklin mercilessly exposes.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Contesting Leviathan Activists, Hunters, and State Power in the Makah Whaling Conflict【電子書籍】[ Les Beldo ]

＜p＞In 1999, off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, the first gray whale in seven decades was killed by Makah whalers. The hunt marked the return of a centuries-old tradition and, predictably, set off a fierce political and environmental debate. Whalers from the Makah Indian Tribe and antiwhaling activists have clashed for over twenty years, with no end to this conflict in sight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Contesting Leviathan＜/em＞, anthropologist Les Beldo describes the complex judicial and political climate for whale conservation in the United States, and the limits of the current framework in which whales are treated as “large fish” managed by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Emphasizing the moral dimension of the conflict between the Makah, the US government, and antiwhaling activists, Beldo brings to light the lived ethics of human-animal interaction, as well as how different groups claim to speak for the whaleーthe only silent party in this conflict. A timely and sensitive study of a complicated issue, this book calls into question anthropological expectations regarding who benefits from the exercise of state power in environmental conflicts, especially where indigenous groups are involved. Vividly told and rigorously argued, ＜em＞Contesting Leviathan＜/em＞ will appeal to anthropologists, scholars of indigenous culture, animal activists, and any reader interested in the place of animals in contemporary life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Neutrino Astrophysics with the ANTARES Telescope【電子書籍】[ Vladimir Kulikovskiy ]

＜p＞This thesis is devoted to ANTARES, the first underwater neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea. As the main scientific analysis, a search for high-energy neutrino emission from the region of the Fermi bubbles has been performed using data from the ANTARES detector. A method for the background estimation using off-zones has been developed specially for this measurement. A new likelihood for the limits calculation which treats both observations in the on-zone and in the off-zone in the similar way and also includes different systematic uncertainties has been constructed. The analysis of 2008?2011 ANTARES data yielded a 1.2 σ excess of events in the Fermi bubble regions, compatible with the no-signal hypothesis. For the optimistic case of no energy cutoff in the flux, the upper limit is within a factor of three of the prediction of the purely hadronic model based on the measured gamma-ray flux. The sensitivity improves as more data are accumulated (more than 65% gain in the sensitivity is expected once 2012?2016 data are added to the analysis).＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Self In The System Expanding The Limits Of Family Therapy【電子書籍】[ Michael P. Nichols ]

＜p＞First published in 1988. This thought-provoking volume offers a constructive critical analysis of family therapy for its neglect of the self in the system, and provides a therapeutic approach to clinical problems that takes into account both individual and family dynamics. The author shows that by elevating the metaphor of the system to dogma, family therapy has lost sight of much of the richness and complicating influence of personal feeling, motivation, and conflict, resulting in a proliferation of esoteric, abstract theories and highly mechanistic, technical interventions. The Self in the System describes a different reality that is often overlooked: no matter how much their behavior is coordinated within the system, family members remain separate individuals with private hopes and ambitions, motives and expectations, quirks and foibles, and potentials for creative work. This book provides a unique approach that develops a better understanding of family members' individual experiences, and helps in enhancing their personal responsibility and ability to solve their own interactional problems within the family system. The approach, however, is not just another version of psychoanalytic family therapy, but rather one that utilizes the best tools of family therapy and the most useful ideas from individual psychology and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Chapters cover such important topics as finding the family and losing the self; the problem of change; working with interaction; the effective use of empathy; making assessments that include both the whole family system and the psychology of its members; interactional psychodynamics; a practical guide to object relations theory; how to develop understanding; and working with resistance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
