	<description>Rational beings make choices. To make the right choices, we need accurate maps. This is a personal search for such maps of life, including of society and culture, learning and teaching languages, cross-cultural communication and economics</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update: Though she would never have put it so indelicately, in this quote (from a letter, August 16, 1849 ), Charlotte Brönte kicks ass, with spirit and decision! I do not respect an inconsistent critic. He says, &#8216;if Jane Eyre be the production of a woman, she must be a woman unsexed.’ In that case [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A video I won&#8217;t be imitating any time soon, unless I ever want to put people off. Altho the speaker is facing the camera, he has his eyes closed or looking off-screen much of the time. I don&#8217;t get the feeling he is really interested in talking to me. It looks like a self-indulgent rant. [...]]]></description>

This guy has gone to the trouble of translating into English the results of online surveys that deal with consumer and life-style trends in Japan, surveys that I wouldn&#8217;t couldn&#8217;t read in Japanese.
