| Long Description | Father James Schall, the well-known author and professor of philosophy at Georgetown University, inquires about the various orders found in the cosmos, the human mind, the human body, the city, and he seeks to reflect upon the unity of these orders. In a world in which the presence of reason and order are denied - presumably in the name of science - in favor of chance explanations of why things are as they are, it is surprising to find that, in the various realms open to the human intellect, we find a persistent order revealed. At first sight, it may seem that this reality can be explained by chance occurrence, but after a point, there is a growing sense that behind things there is, in fact, an order. This order can be traced in the many areas that are open to the human mind. As Aquinas has noted, the order within the cosmos points to an order outside of it, since the cosmos cannot be the cause of its own internal order. Philosophers have long inquired about the curious fact that the order of things implies not a mere relationship of one thing to another, but a hint that the universe is created with a certain superabundance. Why is the universe, and the things within it, not only ordered but, ordered with a sense of beauty? Not only is there an order in things, but also the human mind seems attuned to this order as something it delights in discovering. This relationship implies that there is some correspondence between mind and reality. What is the relationship between the mind and reality? The Order of Things explores this question. Relying on common sense and the experience available to everyone, Schall concludes that it requires more credulity to disbelieve in order than to experience it. Finally, Schall explores the fundamental cause of order, what it is like? Having looked at the order of the created universe, it is not surprising that the revelation of the Godhead is itself ordered in terms of an inner relationship of Persons. |

Japanese Postal Barcode
The Japan Post Barcode encodes a 7 digit postal code plus an optional address data of up to 13 alphanumeric chars. The postal code section may have a hyphen char at the 4th character position (eg. 108-0075) although this hyphen will not be encoded into the barcode.
There may also be a hyphen between the postal code and the address data (eg. 108-0075-2-16-3). Again this hyphen will not be encoded into the barcode. Any remaining hyphens are encoded, though.
The Japanese Postal Barcode, also known as the Japan Post 4-State Customer Code (JP4SCC), is a barcode system utilized by Japan Post, the nation's postal service. Similar to other 4-state barcode systems like RM4SCC, it's designed to encode alphanumeric data, including postal addresses, in a compact format. This barcode system plays a crucial role in the efficient sorting and delivery of mail within Japan. By encoding information such as postal codes and delivery points, the Japanese Postal Barcode enables automated sorting machines to quickly and accurately process large volumes of mail, contributing to the timely and reliable delivery of postal items across the country.
The Japanese Postal Barcode system has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of Japan Post and its customers. With advancements in technology, newer versions of the barcode have been introduced, incorporating features such as increased data capacity and enhanced error correction capabilities. These improvements have further optimized the sorting and delivery processes, allowing Japan Post to handle the growing volume of mail more effectively. Additionally, the Japanese Postal Barcode system facilitates the tracking of mail items, providing customers with increased visibility and peace of mind regarding the status of their deliveries. Overall, the Japanese Postal Barcode stands as a testament to Japan Post's commitment to innovation and efficiency in its postal operations, ensuring the continued reliability of the country's mail service.
