Abstract: An item selection UI is displayed in accordance with a predetermined operation during a standby period at the time of starting a game, and progress of a standby period is stopped until selection of an item is finished.

Abstract: A method and a container for long-term storage in a state in which harmful insects do not propagate, in a case in which grains such as unpolished rice or the like are filled and stored. An inner bag (10) made of a flexible material is accommodated in an outer bag (12) which has high-strength. After grains are filled in the inner bag, the inner bag (10) is filled with carbon dioxide gas and is closed. The grains are stored in a state in which harmful insects are exterminated. It is preferable from the standpoint of the insecticidal effect that the inner portion of the inner bag (10) is able to maintain a carbon dioxide gas concentration of 40% or more for 7 days or more. Because the inner bag has the property of a CO.sub.2 permeation amount of less than or equal to 6300 cc/m.sup.2 .multidot.24 hr 1 atm, an oxygen-deficient state can be maintained.

Abstract: A developing system is provided for a copying process such as an electrophotographic copying process in which a developer is supplied to the surface of a member which is formed with an electrostatic latent image to provide developing thereof. An electrode is disposed opposite the surface of the member with the developer interposed therebetween, and the induction potential of the electrode is maintained below a given value by means of a constant voltage element. The potential of the electrode is induced by either the image portion of the member's surface having the electrostatic latent image or by an unexposed, separate charged portion thereof.
