自衛隊の縦割り組織-Sep.23
誰が言い出したか、自衛隊の組織の特徴を捉えた四字熟語がある。
陸自は「用意周到、動脈硬化」。
海自は「伝統墨守、唯我独尊」。
空自は「勇猛果敢、支離滅裂」。
簡単に解説すると、こんな意味だ。
陸自は全体の6割を占める巨大組織。書類などの準備は入念だが、動きは鈍い。
海自は旧海軍の人員を引き継いで発足した。伝統を重んじる気風が強い。それだけに他の組織とのあつれきを生むこともある。
空自は戦闘機のパイロットが組織の中核を担う。パイロットは臨機応変な対応がモノを言う。スピード感はあるが、他の組織からみれば筋道が立っていない部分もある。
強固な縦割り組織は各国の軍隊でもよくみられる。
これまでは「縦割り」がそれほど問題視されることはあまりなかった。
在外日本大使館に駐在する陸海空の武官などをのぞくと、通常は互いが混じり合って働くことはほとんどないためだ。

これまでは「縦割り」がそれほど問題視されることはあまりなかった。
在外日本大使館に駐在する陸海空の武官などをのぞくと、通常は互いが混じり合って働くことはほとんどないためだ。
しかし安全保障環境は激変し、従来の組織の枠組みでは対応しきれない事態も出てきた。代表例が陸海空の混成部隊として2014年3月に発足した「サイバー防衛隊」だ。
サイバー空間への対応と統合部隊の立ち上げ。自衛隊にとって二つの新たな領域だ。
Main Idea-Sep.23
Write the main ideas of the article in four to six sentences.
Artworks in museums represent human history and are valuable to all of us.
Museums try to prevent such treasures from being stolen by various measures, such as security cameras, alarms and secured cases.
Thieves try to steal those valuable objects from smaller museums because their security measures aren’t as sophisticated/tight/strict as large museums.
Selling stolen artworks is more difficult than stealing them because the potential buyers, usually art dealers, are warned about the theft.
Though the police try to find the stolen artworks and arrest the thieves, they don’t always succeed.

Sep.11 Attacks-Sep.12
The September 11 attacks, or 9.11, were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 and injured over 6,000 others.
Four passenger airliners that departed from New York or Boston were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists.
Two of the planes were crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed.
A third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense.
The fourth plane was initially flown toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after its passengers prevented the hijackers from piloting the aircraft.
9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history.
The United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had failed to comply with U.S. demands to hand over Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9.11 and expel al-Qaeda from Afghanistan.

Write what
the UPC code is and does, and what 2-D bar code is in three to four
sentences.

While a UPC bar code is one-dimensional code in just horizontal pattern, a two dimensional, or 2-D, bar code consists of shapes in both vertical and horizontal pattern.
While a 1-D bar code identifies only the product and its manufacturer, a 2-D bar code can show much more information about the product or service.
While 1-D bar codes are printed on products and read by scanning machines, 2-D bar codes can be printed on anything, such as paper, cards, or products and read by smartphones or tablets.
