I really have to work on it.!

Hi Ken -Hawai Thank you very much pointing me the mistake. I changed it now. After staring at my writing so many times, my eyes get funny. It is hard to notice the misspellings. To prepare the book, I hired a person for editing and correcting my writing. Also, I am re-arranging here and there. Maybe by the beginning of the next year, I hope I am ready to publish the book. Thank you Yurie
