Nothing, Japan is a racist shithole that gets away with it because of its privileged position as a US ally.

>>134423

I find that hard to believe.

>>134427
You should probably read up on Japanese law, then.

>>134429

No, nothing part.

You could film pornography.

Anyone?

Business. If you do it right, its a great place for a small business, apparently.

My uncle does tech support for some company over there...

You can do anything as long as you are good at it. Which you are not cause you are a lazy stupid fuck, enjoy your dreams.

You can work in a cafe/restaurant where white guys serve japanese females cakes & shit like those maid shit they have for guys.

nothing. Unless you have som mad skillz in something that they are in need of. Like in most countrys you need a degree ine something,and even then it's hard to get work. So stop beeing a weeabo and just go there for vacation instead.

>>134490

Well I have family there, and thought it would be nice to stay there a while..

Ok, time for a serious response.

Technically you can do almost anything, but practically it's a little more difficult.

The reason that everybody does language related jobs is that it's by far the easiest. It's extremely easy to qualify for a cultural specialist (English teacher or translator) visa. Also, English teaching is popular because companies don't generally expect you to speak Japanese.

Almost any other job is going to require two things: Japanese fluency and your own work visa. If you don't already live in Japan and have a stable income, it's almost impossible for you to sponsor yourself for a work visa, and most companies outside of the language sector and a few specialized technical fields will not sponsor you.

That leaves you with two options. The first is to marry a Japanese citizen, which will get you a spouse visa. The second is to come to Japan on a student visa and attend a Japanese university, which will allow you to enter the workforce with native Japanese people.

Keep in mind that competition for jobs outside of languages is pretty tough. In most Japanese companies, connections are more important than experience. If you have a degree from Harvard or Princeton, you won't have much trouble finding a job. If you have a degree from Bob and Joe's Community College plus ten years of experience at small or relatively unknown companies, good luck.

Also keep in mind that the most critical thing is Japanese skill. Just like nobody in America is going to hire someone for a good job if they can't speak English, nobody in Japan is going to hire you for a good job if you can't speak and read Japanese fluently. There are a few exceptions to this, but generally you need some super-specialized skills that aren't readily available in the Japanese labor pool. That's how a few engineers and programmers manage to find jobs without knowing Japanese.

>>134493

Say I get a bachelors in whatever, and go to teach there. Is the money generally enough to survive/find a wife to get spouse visa to work there at a better job.

>>134493

btw thanks for the response

>>134495 Is the money generally enough to survive/find a wife to get spouse visa to work there at a better job.

Yes, provided you can find a job. Things are getting kind of tight right now because of the economic clusterfuck.

That reminds me of another thing I wanted to mention. Another reason people go for English teaching jobs is because of the pay. Average hourly pay is between $20 and $30 for an English teacher, and the more specialized your field the more you make. Salaries in other jobs are somewhat comparable to the US, so if your options are to stock shelves in a department store for $9/hr or talk English for $25/hr, it's no surprise that most people go for talking.

>>134499

That wages is with a bachelors right?

>>134505
Yes, it's almost impossible to get a job without a degree. Companies will hire you, but in order to qualify for a cultural specialist or teacher visa, you need either a bachelor's degree or a minimum of two years verifiable full-time work experience as an ESL teacher.

>>134508

I see, if jobs are tight.. should I go through the companies like JET?

>>134423
Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy racism in Asia, it keeps the population ASIAN.

The only thing westerners can do is cry about it while they get bred out of existence by brown people.

Enjoy.

>>134510
You can try. There are advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages: They take care of everything. Your training, transportation, housing, paperwork, etc. All you do is sign on the dotted line.

Disadvantages: You don't get much, if any, choice in where you go. Most postings are in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. If you don't mind, it's great. If you want to be near a major city, it can suck.

>>134513

I see, is there a program where you get a little bit of a say?

ennn

>>134427
Japan is fucking totally xenophobic man
its not the magical land of technology and anime that you think it is
they don't really understand the concept of racism because there is no alternative

>>134559

I knew it was, i meant i didn't believe the fact that you can't find a job outside language based things.

>>they don't really understand the concept of racism because there is no alternative

This isn't a totally bad thing.

>>134621
Umm, overall, yes it is. It is an outdated and unacceptable worldview in our increasingly globalized world.

>>134628
Who are you to say it's unacceptable? It's not like they believe in social darwinism or anything.

Anyone knows racism can be used to your advantage one way or another. I've never been to Japan, but I know that for every xenophobe there's a closeted xenophile.

You know what would be good? If fluent Japanese speaking westerners could become farm hands on Japanese farms.

>>134630
Just a globalist pushing my agenda. If I keep saying it is unacceptable, and everyone else repeats it, it becomes unacceptable.

So, to repeat, racism is unacceptable.

Ah yes, the inevitable wankfest that is globalisation. Hopefully these racist nips can hold out a bit nlonger than the rest of us drones.

>>134493
This is why after I finish my Associate's Degree at the local shitty college I'm attending, I'm going to apply at Sophia University and get a student visa. Hopefully, I should get some connections and find an alright job by the time I graduate. If I even want to stay after school that is.

I'm studying for a bachelor's in Modern Language Studies (Spanish and English), I'm also learning Japanese and would like to study at university in Japan after I graduate.

Can anyone give me any idea, whether or not it would be possible for me, with just the aforementioned degree and basic fluency in Japanese. Do Japanese universities general require more from a gaijin, or would my BA be enough?

Why so anti-globalization, /trv/? Scared of being rejected by even more races?

Maybe you can find foreign company where they speak mostly english?
My uncle moved to Germany to work for a company there as an engineer without knowing a single german word prior to that.
There's always easy, low-pay jobs that don't require a lot of vocabulary to know (janitor, burger-flipper, etc.)
Alternatively, you can always grab opportunities that require only a computer and an Internet connection (web design/developpement, referal-advertising, ebay, etc.).
No matter where you end up, your income will be based solely on your level of ambition. The rest will follow.

Clearly you don't know much about the Japanese economy. Japan is right behind, possibly even on par with the US in terms of globalization.

It may not be full of foreign people, but it's full of foreign things. Nothing in Japan is from Japan. Even things that are made in Japan are made with imported products.

Japanese people totally love chain businesses, and just like in the US, huge multinational chains are killing independent business.

In 20 years, any random streetcorner in Tokyo will look no different than any random streetcorner in New York or London.

>>134758
Your B.A. will be fine. Most Japanese universities are hurting for students and there isn't a lot of competition. But if you don't get a monbugakusho scholarship, be prepared to prove you have access to about $30,000 in cash in order to qualify for a visa.

>>134645 You know what would be good? If fluent Japanese speaking westerners could become farm hands on Japanese farms.
They can, but nobody wants to. Japanese is a fairly tough language to learn and there aren't a whole lot of truly bilingual people, so any westerners that are fluent tend to want (and qualify for) better jobs than shoveling horseshit for minimum wage.

>>136319
wise anon is wise

What about going to an Jap University after High school(w fellowship) ? Is this possible? How much will I need to pay?

>>136359

There's a reason Japanese come to college in the United States.

>>136359
Provided your Japanese and wrote memorization of random facts are good enough to pass the entrance exam, your education will probably be free. The Japanese Ministry of Education (monbukagakusho) gives scholarships for that to encourage foreign students.

However, >>136532 is right. Universities in Japan, even the famed Tokyo University, are very low quality compared to those in the US. And outside of Japan, the names mean nothing.

>>136556
>>136532
i call bullshit, it's well known that japan has one of the most challenging education systems in the world. kids over there are always killing themselves from the pressure to succeed, etc.

>>136881

In every level before college you are correct sir.

However, I've read on multiple forums/articles and had my family in Japan (who is sending their kids to the USA for college) that the Japanese college system is not nearly as good.

>>136881
The japanese college is 99% for future salarymen who won't need anything being taught in the actual school except the diploma.

>>136881
challenging does not equal good

>>136912
er, yes it does, at least in terms of quality.

jap college is impossible to get into but simple once you are there

Well said. I started studying music in a revered provincial university here, and eventually I was awarded a scholarship to study at Berklee.

Now again I am transferring, this time to Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo. I don't even speak a lick of Japanese.

Any of the people here crying racism ever been to Japan? Or are you just repeating what you read on 4chan?

3 years here, never experienced racism.

Good luck with getting a job in Japan or any foreign country at the moment with the recession hitting.

Most governments are only allowing employers to hire locals or permanent residents, if they do hire a foreigner they have to give a good explanation as to why they chose them over a local.

>>137040
Some of the most racist people in Japan you will meet are other bitter, white expatriates.

>>134423
The same people who post shit like this are the same ones who flood bell curve-stormfront-niggerdeath-antisemite claptrap.

My experience with racism as a very obvious foreigner in Japan isn't any worse than as a native citizen growing up in a supposedly liberal part of the US.

Every time I was in Japan the people were very nice.. they even went out of their way to speak English to me.

>>134493
Now if a Japanese/American couple were to marry in the US, is it still possible to get a spouse visa in Japan? I know it can be if the couple were to marry in Japan and get one in the US, but not sure the other way around.

NOT do with Japanese language in Japan?

ok, i cant find a job doing TESL after applying to 10 schools. i just got my BA (history) from university of michigan, which, i think, is a pretty good university. what am i doing wrong here?

>>136319

20yrs?

>>137566

Tried JET?

>>137601
i was looking for something that didn't have such a long waiting period. also, i think their requirements are even more stringent than the average eikaiwa. all the jobs i've applied to list their minimum requirements as a BA in any field and native english ability. i figure i'm losing out on position because i have no experience or TEFL certificate. and of course, i cant get experience unless i get a job.

Pretty much any non-English teaching job is going to require really good Japanese. JLPT level 3 absolute minimum but anything below 2 is unlikely. I have several friends in science over here, so thats possible. But if you can get a spouse VISA youre golden.

JET is difficult to get into, but any of the dispatch companies (Interact, W5 etc.) are much less choosey, but you`re not as pampered or well payed.

>>134473
Haha, does these really exist? I want to try working at those, hahaha.

In a recent episode of Madventures the guys were in Japan and suggested that you could work as a platter. It pays well (about 100$/h) and you dont have to speak a lick of japanese. You just lay still.

>>137667

haha. saw that too. that is really well-paid job!

And in an old episode they got money by selling girls' panties (which the fat guy used for 4 days) to a collector

>>137669
Some finnish woman had used them for four days... who the fuck would buy undies worn by a fat dude.

>>137689

The one who would think that they were worn by a finnish lass

>>137620

>i figure i'm losing out on position because i have no experience or TEFL certificate. and of course, i cant get experience unless i get a job.

Well, how about trying to get some experience in your own country first before trying to teach in another country? I think most schools in a foreign country, such as Japan, would pref someone to have at least done some teaching in his life.

Durrrr.

Get an engineering degree.

>>137766
I have an engineering degree, and it appears to me like if I work in Japan I'll be overworked for about the same pay, and if I go for a master's degree, well, I can't because all the decent schools are japanese-only, and my jap is only conversational.

>>137566 ok, i cant find a job doing TESL after applying to 10 schools
Are you physically located in Japan right now? The vast majority of schools won't even consider you if you're not here when you apply. The ones that do hire overseas only take overseas applicants if they can't fill the positions with people who are here. Companies like a face to face interview, and they really like people who've been in Japan a while so that they know you're not going to freak out from culture shock and disappear after three months (which happens a lot).

>>137053 Some of the most racist people in Japan you will meet are other bitter, white expatriates.
This is true, however...

>>137040 3 years here, never experienced racism.
Then you must not have been paying very much attention. Racism in Japan is very real, but it is different than in the US. There are no lynch mobs or overt racial hate groups (against white people, anyway; there are plenty of overt anti-Korean and anti-Chinese hate groups). The majority of the racism here is ingrained in the social structure. For example, the government regularly insisting that the majority of crime is committed by foreigners, and cracking down on foreigners whenever there's a high profile crime committed by a Japanese person. Or landlords who refuse to rent to foreigners because they're afraid they'll be loud or messy. Another example is businesses that refuse foreigners. Another example is the haafu issue, half-Japanese half-foreign children are not treated the same as ethnically 'pure' Japanese children despite the fact that they have full citizenship and speak fluent Japanese. I'm not going to make an exhaustive list of racist issues in Japan, but the general idea is that they're more subtle and usually less directly harmful than racism in the US. But I don't think that makes it acceptable, particularly because most Japanese people won't even acknowledge it exists.

>>136965 er, yes it does, at least in terms of quality.
No, it does not. I could easily create a class that would challenge the fuck out of you, in fact there's no way you could pass, but I guarantee you wouldn't learn anything useful.

There are two aspects of the Japanese education system that you fail to understand. The first is that university is superfluous. Japanese students work their asses off and learn far more information than the average American university graduate in order to pass the university entrance exams. After that, the next four years are spent relaxing and making the connections that will secure their positions for the rest of their lives. Japanese society is based on who you know, not how well you do your job.

The second is that the Japanese education system through high school is based on the wrote memorization of a massive quantity of facts. There is virtually no emphasis on developing critical thinking or creative skills. That is why Japanese students tend to blow western students out of the water on standardized tests, but they generally can't write a simple position paper or argue a point.

A quality education teaches you how to think, information is secondary. A Japanese high school education is challenging because you have to spend every waking moment memorizing random data to be recited on a test, not because you have to give serious thought to anything. Thus here is an example of an education that is challenging yet not particularly good.

Japan invented anime how can it be racist?

this is the reason azns haven't been inventing much for over 9000 decades all they do is recite and NOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES

The Chinese were ahead of the rest of the world in inventions til the Ming dynasty..

dude, rote memory is just a stereotype from the 60s. It's true that MODERN Asian schools cover a lot of material, but they do the creative thinking and socratic approach things too

Ok,

I may know a small solution to your problem

Depending on your nationality there may be a job that only targets the expat community in Japan, mainly Tokyo or Osaka.

That is the offshore Financial Services industry... And it happens to be the industry I am in.

However I have been to Tokyo but do not and have not lived there but if you are looking for a job its worth filing through the offshore financial adviser websites for Asian based companies.

Some I can give you off the top of my head would be.

Devere & Partners
GWM (Global Wealth Management)
Austen Morris
Financial Partners
Globaleye
AES International
Tenbridge
Montpelier

Most of these will have a careers section, and look for you educated people to bring into the industry.

I personally got into it myself in Malaysia and its been the best decision of my life.

However you will be expected to fund your own move to Japan and it will be expensive.

>>138112
Sonny, it most certainly is not a stereotype from the 60s. First of all, lets establish that we're talking about the Japanese school system, not the "Asian" school system. Asia is a big place and, contrary to popular belief, not all slant-eyed yellow countries are the same.

The Japanese education system has been through several reforms since it was invented by the Americans in the 1950s. The current iteration is more progressive than ever before, but it's still very heavily biased toward memorization rather than critical thinking. Most of the reforms have been about reducing the number of hours students spend in class, but because the university entrance exams were not changed to match, it just forced students into after-school cram schools to make up the time they were missing.

Currently the Japanese government is discussing and implementing a several part reform that is intended to do several things. It is intended reform the university entrance process to take into account students' grades and other achievements rather than entrance exam scores exclusively, and to change the focus of the tests from the recitation of a wide assortment of random pieces of information to an evaluation of problem solving and reasoning skills. The goal is to de-emphasize the tests in hopes that it will make room for real reform at the primary and secondary school levels, since without it any changes will be negated by students' need to score well on entrance exams over all else.

Japanese classes still emphasize the teacher as the active presenter and the students as passive learners. Material is presented as gospel and students dutifully copy it down. The concepts of seminar-style classes and learning through discussion and by questioning and defending ones ideas are only barely starting to catch on.

>>138117

is this trustworthy?

seems kinda like what you'd see on an infomercial.

>>138168

The web provided is a bit like that yeah...and is linked to devere and partners but there are many MANY more.

But its true there is an industry that caters for only the offshore expat and provides financial services to them.

Depending on the country the local financial services authority regulates them and grants them visa's

However the industry is very performance driven so I wouldnt attempt it unless thats the kind of person you are.

I'm a student at a Japanese university. I transferred from a major US university and came here because I thought it would be fun. I regret it for the poor quality of education, though I really do enjoy living here.

I also teach English part time, but it's exceptionally boring and I only do it because it pays very well for almost no work. I also do a little translation and editing work on the side, but not enough to make a living.

>>138121 (awesome info BTW)

Don't forget about sougouteki gakushuu, the program that the ol' Mombusho developed to combat the fact that Japanese education was absolutely nothing more than the rote memorization of facts. Sougoutekina gakushuu, or "cross-curricular class", was supposed to allow students for a few hours a week to choose what they wanted to study creatively, directed, with measurable results, but again to apply skills creatively to problems.

It lasted, what, about 5 years? Then mombusho (now renamed) yanked it out of the schools. Why? Because the rote memorization national tests were showing slightly lower numbers than in previous years. They got rid of all that creativity bullshit in order to get back to the business of misapplied knowledge so that their math grades would be good.

I taught for years at JHS, HS and College. It was impressive (students mostly obey teachers and fall in line, even at "bad schools"), and at the same time fucking horrifying for Europeans or N Americans.

They don't write essays in Japanese schools but for a few times a year. And "essay" is *never more* than about 3 paragraphs, or one single page of paper.
The "highly ranked" public schools (like the number one female HS, male HS in some kanto prefrectures) in Japan have an interesting science program: They never perform science experiments. Nope, gets in the way of rote memorization and tests. Instead, this is great: They rote memorize the ideas behind famous experiments, memorize the results, and memorize the science/math behind it. No dissection, no dropping potassium in water. Instead, they'll read a chapter in a book that shows you a picture of potassium in water, and have you memorize what happens.

Love Japan in many, many ways. But I would rather homeschool than to have my kid touched by the Japanese Ministry of Education.

Oh! How could I forget?

If you already have another job, a great way to make money on the weekends is to buy a Catholic Priest costume and a bible, and fake your way through being a priest at weddings!

I've done it once (as kind of a favor), I had two friends that did it as a racket. Doesn't matter that you're an atheist, or that you slip in silly shit into the ceremony, if you are White, Big, Foreign-Looking, have a good, peaceful smile, there are young Japanese out there who want to give you $300-500 US to stand in front of them and smile and babble for a few minutes. They don't ask, you don't tell, both sides walk away happy.

It's not a career, but it's certainly a decent job.

medeterranians: revolutionized military science, great strides in the fields of geometry and ancient philosophy.
south asians: first cities and organized civilizations. cotton gin, water wheel, first artillery shells. wrote first books on medicine and mathematical methods for calculus.
mesopotamia: first to make the innovations that allowed for the creation of empires, including mailing system. invented algebra as we know it and modern number systems, written language, windmill.
mainland orientals (chinese): printing, hydraulics, gunpowder, paper, holistic medicine, many mechanical devices.
pacific islander: improved upon the inventions of others, but cannot claim originality for anything in widespread use today, or anything that lead to the inventions in widespread use today.

Maybe the porn is better but that's subjective.

These posts pretty much confirm everything I already suspected. The Japanese are good at copying and memorizing, but not creative thinking. Maybe the education is to blame, but the education style is a reflection of the Japanese character and attitude to learning.

Their shamelessly pedosexual society plus the fact they seem to be behind most of the twisted and awesome sickfuckery on the internet means anon will always revere them. Even if they have contributed very little in the scheme of things bar anime and katanas zomg

Me neither, and I've been to the seedy ass shit holes and porn stores.

lawl, do share what else you saw down there.

You know how once upon a time people bought porn the old-fashioned way? By shuffling into an adult bookstore and quietly browsing the wares, and exchanging money for playboy and what not?
Basically just like that, except it's a bunch of asian men (and women!), and the porn is the kind of stuff you see right here on 4chan /d/, /h/, /t/, /y/

What do you call it?

>>143748
A magazine with mostly (boring) articles and some heavily airbrushed models.

>>143849

Would they happen to be naked?

>>143977

Eventually, barely. And if you think nudity makes something pornography... well, then you must be American. They're just pin-up models.

Granted, I haven't seen a Playboy since I was a teenager, so if they've suddenly turned into porn, this is the first I've heard of it.

por·nog·ra·phy
1. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.

Sexually explicit material (...) is often used as a euphemism for pornography. It includes images and descriptions of nudity, especially genitalia, and unsimulated sex acts.

Anywho, this thread needs more jobs you can get in Japan that isn't based on using English.

>>144269

I wouldn't call anything in Playboy explicit. I also don't think it's intended to cause arousal. It's just like FHM and whatnot, only they're allowed to show nudity in Playboy. They're just "pretty" girls because it's a mens magazine and men like pretty girls.

Also, I've seen lots of things, like documentaries and such that contained nudity and I wouldn't have called them sexually explicit or porn or whatever either.

And yeah, why isn't anyone talking about non-language based jobs?

>>144281
hey. youre an asshole.

>>142852
you pretty much cant do it. japanese like looking at other japanese have sex. if they want you, you'd only be filling a small niche market, (read: like blacks in japanese porn). but in general, westerns arent sought after.

>>145045
There's a large enough market for thin, scrawny, gymnast-looking slavic chicks in Japanese porn.
Search dmm.co.jp for 外国人

>>144281

Just because you're jaded from watching too much tranny scat porn, it doesn't mean Playboy isn't INTENDED TO CAUSE SEXUAL AROUSAL.

It's pornography. Just not very good pornography.

And thanks to all the anons giving actually useful info here instead of douchebaggery about what's real porn, bukkake, and niggerism.

>>145063
unless the person who was asking about getting into porn is a hot chick, its not really the same. those girls are probably part of the ever growing number of eastern european call girls. not really porn stars.

>>145045
What if you are already a model in the West, a very petite model? I don't necessarily mean movies. I'm thinking more nude photography.

>>145097
But can you get work over there, if you're just a small time model? And how would that work anyway?

>>145096
If you're a petite white conventionally attractive blonde chick, you're probably better off doing modeling work in tokyo than in the US

I look nothing like her. More like Angelina Jolie crossed with Cindy Crawford, only in miniature and younger.

Also, I'm half Lebanese, so I don't know if that will go over well.

>>145102
Half-Lebanese means you're white (in asia)
I don't know the details, not being a model myself, but I was just reporting hearsay from actual expat models that I knew and walking around Ginza where I witnessed a bunch of high-roller, prissy ass, well-dressed white chicks strutting around like they were in a photo shoot.
Consult modelmayhem and gaijinpot for asia gigs.

Thanks.

you will most likely need an 'entertainer' visa for whatever modeling job you get (google it)

>>145108
I didn't even know there was such a thing as an entertainment visa. I always though entertainers just got regular working visas like everyone else.

Thanks for the information.

Sorry to say but the MINIMUM for getting a job in Japan is a Bachelor's Degree. An associate degree in Japan is going to be looked at the same way as someone who is in their sophomore year of college.

>>138112
This isn't true. I spent a year at a Japanese high school as a student and can vouch for the fact that its entirely rote memory.

Have a look at the entrance exams for any Japanese middle school, high school, or university or try and find video from a class. The tests are almost entirely multiple choice, and it's all about recalling information.

On an English "test" I took, I got a question wrong for writing "ancient" instead of "antique" for "a word that starts with a meaning 'old'". The pic is the name of the English Target 1000 series, which every Japanese high school students use for learning words. If you could guess, the book features 1000 words which are expected to be "learned" and replicated on a test.

Even the JLPT (Japanese proficiency test) is entirely multiple choice. This means that someone who has never spoken Japanese or been to Japan before has a (low but) actual chance of passing the Level 1 (Native Level) test.

I have to say I don't come here a lot but this thread has had a lot of honestly good and accurate information about Japan. Of course there are plenty of assholes who still believe all the stuff they read on the internet and have a pretty warped idea about Japan, but some of you have been spot on.

>>139552
Yeah, you can become a host regardless of your looks under two conditions.

1) You can talk for hours.
2) You can drink for hours.

Most of the people reading this know will have a higher alcohol tolerance, but there's no way you'll be able to get a job unless you can shoot the shit with weird Japanese people for hours.

>>145102
pics?

I'm a senior concentrating in finance and management in Wharton @ Upenn. I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I've been taking it for two years, and I'd say I'm conversational. I'd like to work in Japan after I graduate (probably in banking). However, these jobs are pretty competitive, especially in a shrinking market like Japan. Any suggestions? Are there other industries with more opportunities?

>>145950

Also, is it worth getting a tutor or something and trying to pass a proficiency exam? thanks.

enjoy your xenophobic island dwelling chinese supremacists

>>145950
I'm somewhat like this guy, majoring in Business Administration with either International Business or Finance (probably IB) and then getting an MBA. Any advice on getting a job in Japan in Banking or anything similar would be greatly appreciated.
