Kasuga-Taisha is Nara’s most celebrated Shinto Shrine. What to expect and how to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site from 768 AD.
High up on the hills above Nara lies a truly magical place. It somewhat reminds you of a Studio Ghibli movie – only this one is real! This is not your average temple, with a bit of incense and some luck charms to be bought. The Kasuga Grand Shrine (春日大社 Kasuga-Taisha) is one of the most celebrated and famous Shinto Shrines in Japan, probably only rivaled by Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto and Ise Jingu. Here is my travel guide for tourists to Japan.
Close to the spiritual world at Kasuga Taisha
The approach to Kasuga-Taisha leads through a truly primordial forest covering the hillside of Nara’s mountain range in verdant greens. The wide gravel paths are lined with thousands upon thousands of stone lanterns and are part of the Nara Park. Those lanterns have been donated by devotees as a token of faith.
In ages past, when Nara still was the capital of Japan, they are said to have been lit every night, but nowadays this custom sadly has stopped. Lanterns will be lit only on a few shrine festivals throughout the year (see below). Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to see that yet, but it must indeed be an awe-inspiring sight!
Lit or not, take your time walking the slight incline up the hill and breathe in the magical atmosphere of this unique UNESCO World Heritage site. Depending on which source you check, there are said to be roughly 3.000 stone lanterns in Kasuga-Taisha. It’s close to incomprehensible how much there are. After 5 minutes or so you will think something along the line: “Okay, so I guess the shrine will be around the next bend, we must have seen thousands of those lanterns already!”.
But no! The lantern-lined path goes on and on. Ever so often you will see one of the wild deer rushing through the shrubbery or even coming closer begging for fodder. Nara truly is amazing (do read my guide to the 10 must-see highlights, by the way!).
The path will finally lead you to the inner sanctuary and oldest part of Kasuga-Taisha. The whole shrine is painted in a bright red with green accents. A small entrance fee is asked which is well worth it. While outside all lanterns are fashioned from stone, the ones inside are cast in bronze. Some of them are even covered with gold leaf. The main buildings date back to 768 AD. However, the actual structure is less than 200 years old.
Why is that so? In ancient times Japanese Shinto shrines used to be rebuilt every 20 years. In some shrines, this tradition is kept alive to this date (e.g. in the Ise Grand Shrine). What sounds like a horrifying custom to us westerners, is to Japanese actually a healthy renewal of spirituality (and architecture & craft traditions). There is also a great fear that old things will gather evil spirits. But no matter!
The shrine hasn’t been rebuilt ever since the end of the Edo Period. The current building dates back to 1863. The only things that are being renewed every two decades these days are the roofs. The cedar chips would otherwise eventually rot and make the roofs leak (Note: The Grand Ise Shrine is still being rebuilt every 20 years).
But back to the building: the Kasuga Shrine is the family shrine of the Fujiwara clan. A lot of emperors married daughters from this clan, and throughout Japanese feudal history, that clan wielded a huge amount of political influence through its very subtle intermarriage policy. I recommend you to walk around all the buildings and watch the pilgrims go on about their business.
If you want to participate – observe them closely and emulate them as best as you can if you want to enhance the spiritual experience for yourself. It might feel awkward at the start, but go along anyway! (But obviously, try not to disturb anyone and remember this is an active shrine and not primarily a tourist attraction.)
If you got the time, you should make a short detour to the right side of the hill. There is a little path leading further uphill, and along its way (maybe 100 meters or so) you will find a little stall with thousands of heart-shaped ema. Here is where lovers, and those who want to be loved, will hand in their secret (or rather not so secret since you could read them all) wishes. Quite the sight – if a bit cheesy.
Other sights at Kasuga-Taisha
Around the grounds, you will also find the Kasuga Taisha Museum. In my personal experience, those treasure houses are very, very seldom worth the visit. Most of them will feel a bit outdated and the relics on display are usually far away from première qualité. The Kasuga-Taisha Museum is an exception to this rule as it has been only recently rebuilt and renovated. Still, if you really want to see some special Japanese treasure go to one of the big museums located close to the entrance of Nara Park, like the Nara National Museum.
There is also a botanical garden near the Kasuga Shrine. Its theme is the Man’yōshū (which is Japans oldest collection of poems dating back to roughly 500 AD) and you will find mostly plants and flowers mentioned in those books. If you are not very intimate with Japanese literature traditions, this will be somewhat boring. The garden is famous for the Kasuga Taisha wisteria though. So if you are in Nara in April, make sure to drop by since the sight will be amazing. Otherwise, I’d have to say that there are way more interesting gardens to see in Japan – actually in Nara itself.
Rather end your sightseeing tour through the Kasuga Shrine walking the path to the north and stay high up on the hill. This will eventually lead you to the Todaiji Nigatusdo temple (maybe a walk of 20 minutes). While the temple itself is quite impressive itself, the walkway so high up the hill will give you an excellent view over Nara Park – especially on the giant Tōdai-Ji temple. A view you do not want to miss.
Kasugayama Primeval Forest
The mountain behind Kasuga Taisha is called Kasugayama and is home to one of Japan’s most beautiful forest. The Kasugayama Primeval Forest is actually part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that compromises Kasuga Taisha. If you got enough time, you should definitely check out the many tranquil pathways, where only a few tourists can be seen. Instead, you will be more or less one with ancient Japanese nature. Truly awesome, especially as a lot of the native Sika deer are roaming freely around.
When to visit Kasuga Shrine
In my opinion, it really doesn’t matter which time of the year you visit Nara – this city will be beautiful throughout the year. Cherry blossom time and autumn are the most crowded times of the year. There are, however, three auspicious dates you might mark in your calendar concerning Kasuga Taisha. Here are the dates for the festivals (Matsuri) when the lanterns in the shrine will be lit at night:
Setsubun Montoro: February 2-4
Obon Montoro: August 14-15
Kasuga Matsuri: March 13th (there will be gagaku and bugaku performances then!)
If you are lucky you might see a wedding taking place there as well. When I was there the last time, I was probably lucky beyond measure (even today I still can’t believe my luck!) There was some sort of service for a family dressed very, very elegantly going on. Among them was a young couple dressed like court nobles from the Heian era with the woman wearing an authentic jūnihitoe (十二単?).
Can you believe that? She actually had three dress maidens along, which helped her lift the priceless garment high up in the air whenever she moved an inch as to not get it soiled. I can only assume those must have been members of the Fujiwara family or something (if anyone knows what this could have been – make sure to tell me in the comments below!). Anyway – what a sight!!!! I wrote a little article about the whole Jūnihitoe experience here.
Kasuga Taisha shrine entrance fee
Entering the general grounds of Kasuga Taisha is for free. If you want to see the inner sanctum, you will have to pay 500 yen. The adjacent botanical garden will be another 500 Yen and the treasure house 400 Yen per person. All tickets will be for sale directly at the entrance of each attraction and normally you will have no problem getting in.
Kasuga-Taisha Opening Hours
Like most shrines in Japan Kasuga-Taisha is opened throughout the year with no closing days.
- 6 am – 6 pm (April through September)
- 6:30 am – 5:30 pm (October through March)
Opening hours for the botanical garden and the treasure houses differ though. Both will open at 9 ‘o clock and close around 5 pm. The botanical garden will be closed on Mondays during winter.
How to get to Kasuga-Taisha
Nara’s temples are more or less all located in the foothills of the mountain range in the east. Kasuga-Taisha is no exception to this rule. The whole area is known as Nara Park and you will find the shrine with the thousand lanterns at the very end of the Park. Starting from Nara-Station this will actually be quite a long walk of 50 minutes. I recommend you to go for this option. First of all, there are many other attractions located on the way (like Kofuku-ji or Nara National Museum).
Then the park itself is a true beauty and you will see a lot of wild, but very trusting deer on your way (they will actually feed on your hand!). If for whatever reason you can’t walk the way (which is paved all the way to Kasuga-Taisha) you can take the city bus and get off at Kasuga Taisha Honden station. Usually, there is a lot of traffic in the city – so don’t expect to be that much faster.
If you take the bus, however, get yourself a day-ticket since it will be much cheaper. Be warned though that the way up to Kasuga-Taisha gets a tiny bit steeper on the last meters. There will be some stone steps and I am not entirely sure the approach is suitable for handicapped people (or wheelchairs/buggies).
I recommend you to take a map of Nara at the tourist information before you go there, mark down all the things you want to see and then prepare a good and efficient route. Walking will be your best option to see everything, but you should avoid passing the same attraction twice since you will be short on time!
If you are planning to visit Nara on a day trip from Kyoto or Osaka (especially if you got a Japan Rail Pass), my day trip guide will help you to organize your trip efficiently.

Facebook reaches new heights and exceeds forecasts
On the occasion of the publication of its quarterly results, Facebook defies all
expectations with new records.
Did you know that Facebook was wrong? New figures released its fourth
quarter report prove otherwise and show that remains and will remain for
some time a number of social networks.
That Facebook has a billion users is not very accurate. There is now talk 1.23
billion monthly active users, which corresponds to an increase by 16%
compared to the figures there one year (2012). And in December 2013, the
social network has counted 757 million daily active users.
Facebook seems to have solved his problem with mobile. As you know, users
tend increasingly to connect to phones and tablets. However, during its IPO,
we wondered if the social network was successfully adapting to the new
platform – which was initially a service on PC.
New data from the fourth quarter of reassuring investors it. Indeed, 76.8% of
monthly active Facebook users are now mobile users. We can also estimate
that 73.44% of people who connect on Facebook once a day do with mobile.
What to say to you that if you want to start a Facebook campaign or just
have free traffic from the social network, he will think your publications for
mobile platforms first. Because this trend should not deny, quite the contrary.
In terms of revenue, Facebook has achieved a turnover of 2.59 billion in the
fourth quarter. Analysts had expected 2.34 billion dollars. This corresponds to
a growth of 63% compared to revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012. Almost
all of this money comes from advertisers. A small portion was processed
through the online payment service (on games, for example, where Facebook
takes a commission on each purchase).
Successful tranisition to mobile is also visible in these revenues. Indeed, on
2.34 billion generated through advertising on Facebook, $ 1.25 billion (or
53%) were using mobile platforms. Unfortunately, we do not know what
ecosystem produces the most cash for Facebook.
All this information clearly indicate that despite the negative speculations on
Facebook ( Facebook loses young , Facebook Home is a flop, Facebook is
threatened by chat applications, etc..), it is – for the time being – in very

Posts misinterpret space travel carbon emissions finding
CLAIM: Report shows that “Jeff Bezos’ 9-minute joyride to the edge of space created more carbon emissions than 1 billion people produce in an entire lifetime.”
AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. The report stated that an 11-minute trip to space would, per passenger, emit as much carbon as one person emits over their lifetime.
THE FACTS: Recent posts on social media are misinterpreting a section of a report on inequality that looks at carbon emissions. The World Inequality Report, issued by the France-based World Inequality Lab, in part compares the carbon dioxide impact of the wealthiest people on earth to that of the poorest people.
The report cited space travel as “perhaps the most conspicuous illustration of extreme pollution associated with wealth inequality,” using an 11-minute flight into space to make its point. A screenshot of that section was shared on social media with a misleading caption.
“Jeff Bezos’ 9-minute joyride to the edge of space created more carbon emissions than 1 billion people produce in an entire lifetime,” one tweet shared more than 18,000 times reads.
But the section cited does not say that a trip to space emits as much carbon as one billion people do in their lifetimes, combined, as the tweet may suggest.
It says the space flight would result in emissions of at least 75 tonnes of carbon per passenger. In comparison, the report estimated one person at the lowest end of the financial spectrum is responsible for less than one tonne per year.
“It therefore takes a few minutes in space travel to emit at least as much carbon as an individual from the bottom billion will emit in her entire lifetime,” the report states.
Lucas Chancel, co-director of the World Inequality Lab and lead author of the report, confirmed to The Associated Press in an email that the “flight indeed corresponds to lifelong emissions (or more than lifelong emissions) of one person from the bottom billion, not of the entire bottom billion combined, as we make clear in the report.”
Bezos traveled to space in July aboard his company Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. That spacecraft is powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, so it does not emit carbon like conventional rockets.
“Nearly 99% of New Shepard’s dry mass is reused, including the booster, capsule, ring fin, engine, landing gear, and parachutes,” Blue Origin spokesperson Alison Gregg wrote in an email to the AP. “New Shepard’s BE-3PM engine is fueled by highly efficient and clean liquid oxygen and hydrogen. During flight, the only byproduct of New Shepard’s engine combustion is water vapor with no carbon emissions.”
Still, Chancel said the World Inequality Report’s estimate for rocket emissions took into account indirect emissions, such as those required to construct such a rocket — adding that the group estimates “that at least 50 tonnes of CO2 have already been emitted before the spacecraft departs from the launchpad.”
Eloise Marais, an associate professor in physical geography at University College London, also said in an email to the AP that the “fuel that Blue Origin uses doesn’t produce carbon dioxide (CO2), as there is no carbon in the fuel.” But, she said, it does “produce other gases (water vapor and nitrogen oxides) that can harm the atmosphere.”
Associated Press writer Sophia Tulp in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Anfield boss keen on left back?
Liverpool and Juventus are locked in a battle to sign Lyon defender Aly Cissokho.
Cissokho, 24, has been strongly linked with a switch to Anfield but the move never materialised during the summer.
Kenny Dalglish will have to act fast to sign the French international as Juventus are also keen to sign him when the transfer window re-opens in January.
Reports in France today suggest that both Liverpool and Juventus sent scouts to see him in action during the Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night.
Lyon are desperate to keep Cissokho at the club, but are unlikely to stand in his way if they receive a sizeable offer for his signature in the new year.
This move would be to say the least, odd. Aly Cissokho is a recognised left back who can also play further up on the flank, two areas that Kenny Dalglish would appear to have covered. After all the Liverpool boss signed Jose Enrique and Stewart Downing to play on that wing, so why would he be pushing to sign the 24 year old French international? If the idea is to add strength in depth it is worth noting that a number of youngsters at Anfield are available to do that job.
Teenager Jack Robinson proved last term that he is able to play at the highest level but clearly is not ready to put in a regular stint, hence the wise capture of Enrique from Newcastle United. This is not to say that Aly Cissokho is not a good player because the Lyon man is clearly an experienced player with a great deal of potential to grow but a move to Juventus may be more likely this January.
The former FC Porto man may however feel there is no need to leave Lyon, who are currently joint top of Ligue 1 and have started their Champions League campaign with four points from two games.

The Nazi War on Christianity
The Nazis planned the elimination of Christianity. Once, this was common knowledge and authors writing while the Nazis were in power recognized this crucial fact. Today, in a political and social climate drenched with fear and hatred of Christianity, the Nazi war on Christianity and Christian opposition to Nazism is "politically incorrect" history. But the words written in old books cannot be rewritten to fit the contemporary slander of Christianity. The record-from more than forty books published while Hitler was in power, is clear and strong: The Swastika was at war with the Cross.

Historians wll be surprised by this bok. It runs so counter to hat is taught in academia, that the author could only make his case convincingly by doing just what he did: Walker read a lot of very old books and relates just what famous commentators at the time were writing about the pure hatred that the Nazis had for Christianity and the brave opposition that Christians in Germany made to the Nazs. The real eye opener, for me, was at the beginning of the book, when Walker writes from many different sources about just how much the German people BEFORE Hitler had left Christianity. This is avery good reference if you know someone who inists that the Christians ever supported Hitler or that Christians are responsible for the crimes of Nazism.
Finally, a book that tells the truth about Nazis and Christianity! Mr. Walker does not really attack people today who try to make it sound like the Nazis were Christians, but his book makes the case so strongly that noone who reads it can come away thinking anything but that Nazis hated Christians andthat Christians were the only people who fought against the Nazis inside Nazi Germany and that anyone today who thinks different just does not know what he or she is talking about. Walker does not talk about religion much at all. He does not even say whether he is a Christian or not. He just talks about the plain facts of history.

In the late 1940s, Man Ray created Shakespearean Equations, the culmination of years of work across media inspired by photographs of mathematical models. The artist's inquisitive spirit and mastery of transforming three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional imagery is revealed in this exploration of the intersections of art and science.
This is the first exhibition to contrast Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographs of 19th-century mathematical plaster models inspired by Man Ray with his own mathematical models crafted with computer-controlled, precision milling machines.
For more than 25 years, The Phillips Collection has held a staff show to feature the works of artists employed at the museum. In 1984, the staff show was endowed by the family of James McLaughlin, an accomplished still-life painter who worked at the museum for 50 years.

In this blog, 40 Percent Symposium 2016 host, Dr. Birgit Memminger-Rieve from ES EnviroSustain summaries the lively discussions which took place at the conference and looks forward to the content of the 40 Percent Symposium 2018.
On the 3rd November 2016, the 7th International Symposium on Sustainable Commercial Real Estate took place in the Berliner Regent Hotel.
Moderated by the 40 Percent Symposium’s initiator John Pike, who is RICS Chartered Surveyor and currently board member of Bellrock Properties and Facilities Management (UK), the Symposium focused on politics, economics & risks as well as global best practice.
Given the enforcement of the Paris Agreement and the pending Climate Conference (CAM1) in Marrakesh, Martin Brühl – the director of Union Investment’s Dept. for International Real Estate Investment – emphasized that the sole collection of data and facts will no longer suffice to combat climate change.
Action is now required and the Real Estate...
To host the 40 Percent Symposium and bring it back to Germany as an international sustainability conference has been a great experience.
Thanks must go to John Pike who moderated the conference with ease and charm and to the EMA Events team that made sure that our schedule was followed with no delays.
I’ve talked to a lot of attendees to get their feedback which I like to summarise here....The Regent Hotel was a great venue and everyone felt at ease during the day enjoying and discussing versatile and interesting topics with great speakers from various countries. The delegates said they appreciate having this international symposium in Berlin, and the conference gives them insight into the actual political framework, current sustainability studies, and best practice experiences. Attendees were quick to recognise the excellent networking opportunities during breaks and at the drinks reception in the evening.
I'm looking forward to planning the next 40 Percent Symposium...
Scotland’s ‘competitor’ to the much publicised Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), due to be introduced in England and Wales in 2018, has been finalised and will be introduced next month. The approach is markedly different to the plans in place for the rest of the UK.
The scheme in summary
In Scotland, building owners who plan to sell or lease space will need to comply with the new regulations for units over 1,000 square metres in size, from 1 September 2016. An energy performance certificate (EPC) is required, as usual. However, an Action Plan must also be established to identify energy saving opportunities. Action Plans can be issued by qualified Section 63 Advisors (many EPC assessors are in the process of gaining this additional accreditation) who use approved software to calculate improvements. The software has been developed to consider the feasibility of seven improvement opportunities.
Hello and welcome to this brand new website, which has been built specifically for the 7th Annual 40 Percent Symposium, taking place on 3 November at the Regent Hotel in Berlin.
Since the first event in London in 2011, The 40 Percent Symposium has established itself as the leading resource for those working in sustainability within the commercial real estate sector, focusing specifically on the impact that sustainability has on the value of commercial property.
Its mission is to bring its delegates the latest thinking on sustainability in commercial real estate investment, occupation and ownership.
Return to Germany
This year marks a welcome return of the 40 Percent Symposium to Germany, after having been held in London in 2015. As Germany continues to be a world leader in both the renewable energy sector and sustainable policymaking, Berlin seems like a natural host city for this year’s Symposium.

We are delighted to host a guest blog by Jess Stevens, Associate, Sustainability at GVA. The blog centres around the shift in attitude towards the topic of sustainability for UK Fund Managers and Investors.
GVA recently released the fifth report in their Green to Gold series, a survey which investigates how UK fund managers and investors currently view and factor the risks attributable to rising sustainability regulation and market demands.
Since our first report in 2007, we’ve witnessed a significant shift in attitude towards sustainability. The 2014 results highlight consistent trends of increasing consideration, incorporation and reporting of sustainability issues in investment decisions and activities. More than half of the respondents believe that the market no longer sees sustainability as just a ‘nice to have’, but rather that it is starting to be or is already being considered a key driver of investment performance. In addition, 94% of UK fund...
40 Percent Symposium Founder and Managing Director John Pike reflects on the second 40 Percent Symposium Frankfurt held on the 5th November 2014 at the Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof.
Three clear themes emerged through the day and the real estate industry must grapple with these if sustainability is to be a value driver rather than just “something to be added to a property’s details.
1. The property industry needs to move beyond the narrow definition of sustainability in terms of energy management and embrace the broader elements of ESG used at a corporate level.
2. Data collection needs to be done only once in a recognised format, that includes the principles of ESG, so that real estate is more readily a part of a company’s overall reporting structure.
3. If certification and labels such as EPCs are to be effective much more needs to be done to identify the value...
We are delighted to announce a second successful 40 Percent Symposium was held in Frankfurt on the 5th November. The day sparked interesting debate using our unique panel format and it certainly proved to be very insightful. We are delighted with the feedback we have received which we will be sharing shortly, along with our summary of the discussions.

OXFORD ZOOMERS ARE ON COURSE FOR A HAT TRICK
Local windsurfing aces the Oxford Zoomers are just one event away from being crowned Regional Champions for the third year running after winning the penultimate round of the RYA’s Team15 (T15) South Region Youth Windsurfing Championship this weekend (Saturday 26th July).
Having won the Championship for the past two years the Zoomers have been focused on a hat trick and look to be on course to getting it after remaining unbeaten so far this season.
Saturdays event, held at Queen Mary Reservoir London, saw lovely barmy weather however, this resulted in some tricky windsurfing conditions. With very light wind shifting its direction constantly the Zoomers had to keep their wits about them to spot the shifts and pick the winning racing lines round courses.
Racing was spilt into five sail size classes with the less experienced younger sailors sailing in the 3.5m and 4.5m classes and the more experienced older sailors sailing in the 5.5m, 6.8m and 6.8m techno classes.
Going one better than the past two events the Zoomers really pulled the stops out this time and won every class contested with three sailors Molly Todd in the 3.5m, George Simmonds in the 5.5m and Chloe Hopgood in the 6.8m, posting ‘bullets’ (winning all their races).
Zoomer Will Burrows, a new comer to T15 this year, put in an impressive performance in the 4.5m class too loosing just one race to Londoner Jason Harbor, a member of the Queen Mary Skimmers, and winning class victory.
Team mate Chris Guest also had a good event tussling with fellow Zoomer and previous class winner Tom Squires, to win his first victory of the season.
The Zoomers now go into event four, held in Poole, Dorset on 13th September, needing just to turn up with a team of at least 6 members to win their hat trick, the championship and a place at the national final the Champions Cup.
Supported by industry leaders Neilson, Tushingham/Starboard, Ultra Sport/Bic, Windsurf magazine, Boards magazine and Neil Pryde, T15 was set up to provide youngsters, up to the age of 15, with the opportunity to learn all about windsurfing and windsurf racing in a friendly club environment.
Weekly training sessions are run at RYA approved centres and clubs with RYA trained instructors and T15 coaches. All safety aspects are taken care of and equipment is provided so there’s no need to go and buy all your own kit.
Kids benefit from a great social scene as well as learning a new skill.
If you fancy giving windsurfing or T15 a go visit the T15 website www.team15.org.uk where you can find contact details for all T15 clubs. There is also a list of all RYA clubs and centres with contacts on the RYA website www.rya.org.uk who will be more than happy to advise you on how best to get started.

In today’s ever-evolving landscape of military technology, the MQ-9 Reaper drone has emerged as a pivotal asset for the United States military. Developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., the MQ-9 Reaper represents a significant advancement in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities, redefining the dynamics of modern warfare with its unparalleled versatility and lethal precision. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the evolution, capabilities, operational deployment, ethical considerations, and prospects for the future of this formidable machine.
Origins and Evolution
The MQ-9 Reaper, also known as the Predator B, traces its lineage back to its predecessor, the MQ-1 Predator drone. However, unlike its predecessor, which was primarily designed for reconnaissance missions, the Reaper was conceptualized as a multi-mission platform capable of conducting a wide range of operations, including intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and precision strikes against high-value targets. This evolution marked a significant milestone in the realm of unmanned aerial technology, ushering in a new era of unmanned warfare characterized by unprecedented endurance, firepower, and adaptability.
Unparalleled Versatility and Lethality
Central to the MQ-9 Reaper’s operational superiority is its unmatched versatility and lethality, underpinned by a suite of cutting-edge features and capabilities. At the core of its capabilities lies its remarkable endurance, with the ability to remain airborne for extended periods, thus enabling prolonged surveillance and reconnaissance missions over hostile territories. Armed with a formidable array of precision-guided munitions, including Hellfire missiles and GBU-12 Paveway II bombs, the Reaper is capable of delivering devastating firepower with surgical precision, neutralizing enemy targets while minimizing collateral damage.
Complementing its lethal armament is an array of advanced sensors and imaging systems, including electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which afford unparalleled situational awareness and intelligence gathering capabilities. These state-of-the-art sensors enable the Reaper to penetrate hostile environments and deliver real-time imagery and actionable intelligence to ground commanders, thus enhancing decision-making and operational effectiveness in complex and dynamic battlefield scenarios.
Operational Deployment and Triumphs
The MQ-9 Reaper has proven its mettle through a series of successful operational deployments across diverse theaters of conflict, where it has emerged as a force multiplier on the modern battlefield. From the rugged terrain of Afghanistan to the urban landscapes of Iraq and Syria, the Reaper has played a pivotal role in disrupting terrorist networks, neutralizing high-value targets, and providing critical support to ground forces engaged in combat operations.
In Afghanistan, the Reaper’s precision strikes have dealt significant blows to Taliban insurgents and Al-Qaeda operatives, dismantling their command structures and disrupting their ability to mount coordinated attacks. Similarly, in Iraq and Syria, the Reaper has been a relentless scourge to ISIS, raining down destruction on their strongholds and eroding their territorial grip.
Navigating Ethical and Legal Quagmires
However, the rise of armed drones like the MQ-9 Reaper has not been without its share of ethical and legal dilemmas. The remote and detached nature of drone warfare has raised profound questions regarding accountability, transparency, and the ethical implications of conducting lethal operations from afar. Concerns over civilian casualties and the moral ramifications of remote killing have sparked heated debates within the international community, with critics condemning the use of armed drones as a violation of human rights and international law.
Charting a Course for the Future
Looking ahead, the MQ-9 Reaper is poised to undergo further evolution and enhancement, as military planners and defense contractors explore avenues for bolstering its capabilities and survivability on the battlefield. Future iterations of the Reaper may feature advancements in stealth technology, autonomous decision-making capabilities, and enhanced defensive systems to counter emerging threats.
Additionally, ongoing research and development efforts are focused on expanding the Reaper’s payload options, enabling it to carry a broader range of munitions tailored to specific mission requirements. Whether engaging in precision strikes against high-value targets or conducting reconnaissance missions in contested airspace, the MQ-9 Reaper remains at the vanguard of unmanned aerial might, a testament to the relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence in the field of military aviation.

Tony Khan remained a man under fire during Monday Night Raw as his spat with Ariel Helwani rumbles on.
On February 17th, Ariel Helwani appeared on WWE SmackDown, and AEW boss Tony Khan was none too pleased about it. Khan took to social media to brand the journalist a “fraud” before Helwani hit back at the man he dubbed “the snowman.”
At Elimination Chamber WWE decided to get in on the action with Peter Rosenberg introducing Helwani on the pre-show as being “respected by anyone with intelligence.” Michael Cole then followed that on the main show introducing Helwani and MMA legend George St-Pierre, by noting that Helwani is “unbiased” adding that he “asks the tough questions whether you want to answer them or not.”
Not to be outdone, Monday Night Raw announcer threw a subtle jab of his won during the February 20th edition of the red brand. Graves described The Miz as an “unbiased journalist” adding that WWE is “rife with those,” a reference to Khan sarcastically wishing Helwani luck with his “unbiased journalism.”
Ariel Helwani Fires Back At Tony Khan
Speaking on the most recent edition of the MMA Hour, Helwani said that Khan’s initial post about him was “bizarre,” adding that he was determined not to let the AEW President ruin his night.
Khan’s comments appeared to be in response to remarks made by Helwani after he was interviewed on the MMA Hour back in 2022. During the interview, Helwani repeatedly asked questions in relation to CM Punk, which Khan batted away.
The journalist and media personality later criticised Khan for not answering any questions.

Recurrent ischemia during continuous 12-lead ECG-ischemia monitoring in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with eptifibatide: relation with death and myocardial infarction. PURSUIT ECG-Ischemia Monitoring Substudy Investigators. Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable angina: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy.
Journal Article (Clinical Trial;Journal Article)
Computer-assisted continuous monitoring of the ST-segment allows detection and quantification of recurrent ischemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes. In a substudy of the PURSUIT (Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable angina: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy) trial, this technique was used to evaluate the effects of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide on the incidence and severity of recurrent ischemia, and to investigate the relationship between recurrent ischemia and the occurrence of subsequent death or myocardial (re)infarction. A total of 258 patients with unstable angina or evolving myocardial infarction without ST elevation were monitored for 24 hours during infusion with either eptifibatide or placebo with a computer-assisted 12-lead ECG-ischemia monitoring device. Recurrent ischemic episodes were identified by an automated computer algorithm. Two hundred and sixteen patients (84%) had ECG recordings suitable for analysis. Ischemic episodes were detected in 35 (33%) of the 105 eptifibatide patients and in 32 (29%) of the 111 placebo patients (not significant). No difference in ischemic burden was apparent between both treatment groups. Patients who exhibited 2 or more episodes of recurrent ischemia more frequently died or suffered a myocardial infarction, both at 7 and 30 days, as well as through the 6-month follow-up. A greater ischemic burden was significantly related to adverse outcome during the 6-month follow-up period. Real-time computer-assisted continuous multilead ECG-ischemia monitoring may help to identify patients with unstable coronary syndromes at increased risk of adverse outcome and, thus, allow for better prognostic triage and more appropriate selection of therapeutic strategies. Integration of these systems in coronary care units and emergency wards should, therefore, be recommended.

On Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th June, the Performing Arts department hosted our ‘Night at the Circus’ event. Students from Year 1 – Year 12 participated in the event offering a range of ‘circus’ themed performances. Despite disruption to rehearsals, due to a burst water pipe at school, the show did go on! The show was opened by the Orchestra and their performance of ‘Entry of the Gladiators’ to introduce the circus theme. Stage Stars broke up the musical performances with their ‘Commedia Dell’arte’ scenes and in the first half we had choral performances from Sing and Move, BISB Primary Choir, Senior Vocal group and the Primary Rock Band. As we moved into the second half of the show, the Primary Guitar and Ukulele group performed ‘Ring of Fire’ and we had a fantastic display of gymnastics from the Primary students to ‘The Greatest Show’ and the Jazz Band entertained us with ‘Hooked on a feeling’. The combined finale of ‘Somebody to Love’ from our Community Choir and Senior Vocal group encompassed the energy and buzz of the whole evening. All the students involved have worked very hard over the last term to put the two evenings together, showcasing all their combined talents. I am very proud of them all.

With the release of his critically acclaimed album Harry’s House in May of last year, 2022 brought Harry’s popularity to new heights. One year after its iconic release, let’s take a moment to look at everything Harry and this album have accomplished since its launch.
At the start of the Harry’s House era, Harry used many tactics and promotions to help fans get excited about his new project. One of the biggest promos that fans followed was through the You Are Home website. Everyday at 9 am PST, a new photo would be shown behind a closed door on this website. During the same time, he would also tweet cryptic messages that would later connect to the album. Without the title “Harry’s House” even being released, fans were highly confused but quick to make theories and try to decipher what these messages and photos could mean. Shortly after, Harry headlining Coachella meant new music was coming soon. Little did we know what he had in store. Not only did he smash his performances and bring out fun guests, but he also performed 2 unreleased songs. Fans watching at home or those who were in attendance immediately loved the new tracks Late Night Talking and Boyfriends. With these new songs along with As It Was which was already released, it gave fans a taste of what Styles’ new era would sound like.
Closer to the release of the album, Harry also created Pop Up shops. This allowed fans to buy limited edition merch and have fun with different photo opportunities that really embodied the essence of Harry’s House. These Pop Up shops were located in various cities around the world for fans to experience. To top off the anticipation of his latest album, Harry announced a One Night Only concert in New York City. Similar to his One Night Only show for Fine Line in 2019, he would play his new record front to back for fans on the day of its release. There is no better way to celebrate the release of an album, than with Harry himself (forever jealous of those who were able to attend).
Immediately after the release of Harry’s House, it was already topping the charts and breaking records. Just 2 hours after its release, it earned the most first-day streams for any pop album in 2022. Harry’s House also broke vinyl sales records by selling over 180,000 vinyl copies within 3 days. Harry’s House also debuted at #1 and stayed on top for 2 weeks. Fast forward a year later, Harry’s House now has over 5.1 billion streams on Spotify alone.
There were also a lot of individual song successes from this album. 4 songs from Harry’s House would make the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 at the same time (As It Was, Late Night Talking, Music For a Sushi Restaurant and Matilda). This made Harry the first British solo artist to achieve this. As It Was specifically smashed it out of the park and charted at number 1 for 15 consecutive weeks. This would make As It Was one of the longest-running songs to stay at number 1. This song is also currently the 20th most streamed song of all time on Spotify platforms.
From a critical standpoint, Harry’s House received mainly positive reviews from music critics and professional ratings. Some people, such as Rolling Stones, would even say that Harry’s House was Harry’s best album to date. In an album review, The Guardian says: “Harry’s House is extremely well turned out, ticks a lot of the right boxes and has abundant charm, which makes it a perfect reflection of the pop star who made it.”. People, Billboard and The Times were also some of the many organizations who raved highly about this album and even listed Harry’s House as one of the best albums of 2022.
Harry’s House also earned many awards and accolades for Styles. Harry’s House won Album of The Year at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. This was one of the first of many awards Harry would win for his latest record. The most rewarding and prestigious awards given to Harry’s House were at the 2023 Grammys. The night started off with Harry’s House winning Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. He would continue to have a successful evening as he took home 2 Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album Of the Year. Album Of The Year is the biggest award of the night and it was Styles’ first time being nominated for this category. This was a tough category, as he was up against artists like Beyonce, Adele, Bad Bunny and Lizzo. What made this moment extra special, was that a fan was able to present the award for Album Of The Year to Harry. A week later he would go on to win every single award he was nominated for at the 2023 Brit Awards. He won Best Pop/R&B Act, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for “Harry’s House” and Song of the Year for “As It Was”.
Styles also took Harry’s House on tour with him on continued Love On Tour dates all over the world. From residency stops in North America to sold-out stadium shows in several countries, fans everywhere jumped at the opportunity to hear his new album live. Songs a part of Harry’s House would go on to create many traditions and favourite moments for the rest of the tour. His 11th track, Satellite created the famous “Satellite stomps” which is an infamous dance that Harry has done every time he performs this song. The addition of horns to certain songs such as Cinema, Late Night Talking and Music For a Sushi Restaurant excited fans as this was a version of the songs you can only hear live and in person. As It Was also gained popularity on tour as International fans made it a tradition to scream the lyrics “Leave America” exceptionally loud. So loud that you can hear it from quite a distance outside the venues. This became such a tradition that fans in other countries would even go on to yell these lyrics at other artists’ shows if they had As It Was apart of their pre-show playlists. With Styles’ growth in popularity and love surrounding the new album, Love On Tour would become one of the highest-grossing tours of 2022, making $214.4 million.
As someone who has been a fan of Harry Styles since One Direction and the beginning of his solo career, it is crazy to look at the growth and success he has achieved over the years. Harry’s House era was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced as a fan. From attending multiple Love On Tour dates, making friends along the way, and watching Harry break records and win so many awards, it’s truly been such a memorable experience. It’s such a delightful feeling as a fan to experience these moments and look back on all that Harry has accomplished in this past year alone. Not only did this album change Harry’s life but it changed ours too.
He is still on tour for Harry’s House and will finish the final Love On Tour dates this summer in Europe. Once he is done, we don’t know what the future holds for Harry. We can only hope that new music and Harry content will come soon. But in the meantime, we are left with such an amazing discography to enjoy.

Memoir writing, gathering words onto pieces of paper, helps me shape my life to a manageable size. By discovering plot, arc, theme, and metaphor, I offer my life an organization, a frame, which would be otherwise unseen, unknown. Memoir creates a narrative, a life story. Writing my life is a gift I give to myself. To write is to be constantly reborn. On one page I understand this about myself. On the next page, I understand that.
~ from Sue William Silverman’s Fearless Confessions: A Writer’s Guide to Memoir (U of Georgia, 2009)
If you’ve been contemplating the writing of your own life story, this observation by Sue Silverman may convince you to start. The effort it takes to craft the work is more than amply rewarded by seeing your life, often for the first time, as a coherent and intricate pattern.

The company that redeveloped the North Augusta Plaza shopping center said Friday it has acquired Augusta's National Hills Shopping Center.
Toronto-based Slate Asset Management LP said it has no immediate plans for changes at the 160,000-square-foot shopping center off Washington Road, which is 94 percent occupied and anchored by The Fresh Market grocery store and the Electrolux customer service center.
"We're just going to try to lease up the vacant space to a national retailer and continue to drive traffic to the center, and fit into the Augusta community," Mark Cornacchia, director of investments for Slate, said Friday.
Slate acquired the property from Atlanta-based Abernathy & Timberlake Investment Group on Nov. 13 for an undisclosed price. The deal was brokered by Augusta-based The Palomar Group.
Public records on the sale were not immediately available, but Slate reported last month it entered into binding agreement to acquire the center for $24.7 million.
Slate's retail real estate operation focuses on U.S. grocery-anchored properties and holds more than $1 billion in assets.
Unlike the 230,000-square-foot Publix-anchored North Augusta Plaza, which was losing Kmart as a tenant and in need of a makeover, National Hills underwent extensive renovations in recent years and is in excellent condition, Cornacchia said.
Other National Hills tenants include Sprint, Sally Beauty Supply, The Legend's Club and Merle Norman.
National Hills, along with Daniel Village and Southgate Plaza, was one of Augusta's first suburban shopping centers. It opened in 1963 with J.B. White, A&P Supermarket and The Metropolitan State Bank as the largest tenants.

Interview: Hearts legend Ian Baird
Hearts players John Robertson, Ian Baird, Scott Crabbe pictured in 1991
"THE biggest thing about Hearts was how close-knit it was," says Ian Baird, as he recalls fondly the two-year spell at a club where he established himself as something of a cult hero in the early 90s.
The big shaggy-haired striker took his fair share of abuse from the well-oiled denizens of Tynecastle's old shed, but, despite his at times cumbersome style, the 19 goals he amassed in just two seasons ensure Yogi will always hold a special place in the hearts of most Hearts supporters.
Now managing Eastleigh in the Conference South, the 45-year-old, now bereft of his famous ginger locks, was happy to reminisce about the enjoyable time he spent in Edinburgh.
Baird signed up for a crack at the Scottish game when Joe Jordan offered him the chance to join Hearts in 1991. And the Yorkshireman has no regrets about a move which saw him become part of one big maroon family.
"I was fortunate in that I walked into a very good side – we had Dave McPherson, Gary Mackay, Alan McLaren, John Robertson, Craig Levein, Derek Ferguson, Scott Crabbe, Tosh McKinlay," he said. "It was a really close-knit team because the majority of them were brought up in Edinburgh and supported the team as boys. Fergie and Tosh came through from the west but most of the boys were local. The likes of Mackay, Robbo and even the physio Allan Rae had all been there for years. Sandy Clark, who was the reserve team manager at the time, had played for the club and you'd always see the former players like Walter Kidd out and about. It seemed a tradition that everyone connected with the club stuck together.
"For an outsider like me coming up from England, it made a real impression on me to see what Hearts meant to some of these guys. The likes of Gary Mackay and Scott Crabbe were diehards, they loved it! I remember when we were coming back over the Forth Road Bridge on our way back from away games Gary would always say proudly 'welcome back to the capital city'." That pride and spirit took Hearts to remarkable heights in Baird's first season, but they ran out of steam in the second half of the campaign. "The first season I was there we led the table for about six months. I think we were about 15 games unbeaten and then Aberdeen beat us 4-0 at Tynecastle in January and I always remember some Hearts fans throwing their scarves on at the end which was a bit strange. I think the club were pretty skint and we were operating with a squad of about 15 players, so it was always going to be tough. Rangers ran away with it in the end but it was great to pip Celtic to second place."
Ian Baird heads the ball during Hearts match against Slavia Prague at Tynecastle in 1992
While Baird loved life in Gorgie, he at times had a difficult relationship with an element of the Hearts support. "Initially, I was quite popular, but then I ended up tearing my thigh muscle," he recalls. "I came back too soon and didn't play particularly well, and as a result I took a hell of a lot of stick from the Hearts fans. But then I managed to turn things round and ended up winning the Hearts Player of the Year award the following season which is no mean feat for an Englishman.
"You'll always have ups and downs with supporters, but I'll always have good memories of my time at Hearts. I really enjoyed living in the area, I lived in Fairmilehead with my wife and two children. The social life was good at Hearts, after games I used to go up to Morningside for a few beers with Robbo and the other guys."
Baird, Robbo and Crabbe were part of a formidable front three, but the Englishan admits it was hellish having to operate beside the club's record goalscorer. "Playing alongside Robbo was not enjoyable at all," he said. "I played alongside three strikers: Bernie Slaven, Micky Quinn and John Robertson, and between them I think they took about six years off my career because you had to do their running for them. Robbo was what he was – he was a poacher, a really good finisher who never stopped talking about himself. He was a really good lad and I enjoyed his company."
With over 16 years having elapsed since Baird last played in maroon, one of the enduring images of the big man's time in Edinburgh is the occasion he had to don the goalie gloves. "We played Aberdeen away and Nicky Walker got injured in the warm-up," he said. "In those days you didn't have a second-choice keeper and because I had always been messing about in goals in training, I ended up taking the gloves. When you're going in goals in front of 15,000 people at Pittodrie, it's hard to see the funny side.
"In fact, it was probably about as nervous as I've ever been for a game in my life. We lost 3-2 but I was blameless for all the goals. People always mention that game to me."
So does he still keep an eye on proceedings at Tynecastle. "Yeah, I still keep tabs on what's happening," he says. "Funnily enough, Hearts used our ground as a base when they were down this way in pre-season, but obviously everything's totally changed since my time. There are loads of foreigners there now and the stadium's completely changed. The ground looks lovely compared to the old shed.
"I took some abuse from the guys in there, but it always created a great atmosphere."
How the current Hearts team could do with a marksman of Yogi's ilk, not to mention the spirit of the early 90s.
Ian Baird's Hearts career
July 1991: Signed by boss Joe Jordan on a two-year deal from from Middlesbrough.
August 1991: Scores debut goal in opening-day win at Airdrie. Ends his first season in Scotland with eight goals as Hearts finish second, although all his goals came in the first half of the season.
September 1992: Scores against Slavia Prague at Tynecastle as Hearts suffer agonising away-goals exit.
November 1992: Scores the winner against Hibs in the derby at Tynecastle.
April 93: Plays in goals in 3-2 defeat at Aberdeen after Nicky Walker is injured in warm-up.
May 1993: Wins Hearts' Player of the Year award after 11 goals in disappointing season for the Tynecastle side which saw Jordan sacked.
June 1993: Offered a new deal by new Hearts boss Sandy Clark but leaves to join Bristol City after 19 competitive goals in 79 games.

There Are No Socialists
Are There Really Socialists?
Two unconnected developments were announced this past week. President Obama is releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, despite the absence of a global embargo or horrific natural disaster — and despite a litany of assertions from 2008 that drilling and increased supply might only have a marginal effect on prices.
Like the sudden Afghan withdrawal announcement, the tapping is largely explained by political worries about reelection, as in increasing oil supplies to lower gas prices by election time — and thus avoiding campaign ads equating Obama’s opposition to drilling with high prices at the 2012 pump.
In a second piece of news, the Europeans seem to be winning far more plane orders than Boeing. One wonders whether that fact is remotely connected with airlines’ collective worries about obtaining orders on time and as specified — as in uncertainty whether Obama’s NLRB ruling that attempted to shut down a nearly $1 billion new aircraft line in South Carolina translates into something like "who knows what those Americans are doing next?"
All this raises some questions. The strangest things about the global statist crack-up are socialists’ unhappiness with their socialist utopia, and their subsequent efforts to avoid the consequences of the very redistributive state that they themselves once so gladly crafted.
Greece is the locus classicus. Why are the Greeks protesting? Against whom? They obtained long ago the promised bloated sector and high taxes that all schemed to avoid. Their alma mater EU is hardly a demonic capitalist-run plutocracy, but a kindred socialist state. Is Greece an oil producer, industrial powerhouse, high-tech innovator — anything that might explain the sort of upscale life, modern infrastructure, legions of Mercedeses, and plush second homes that one began to see in Greece after 1985?
In truth, socialist Greeks are furious that they have impoverished themselves and demand that private money and far harder-working Germans bail them out — but why so, when socialism should not need outside capitalist-generated dollars? Could not the Greeks, Soviet style, set up a Cuban collective, and adjust their lifestyles (there goes Kolonaki culture) to their means, living in an opportunity of result utopia with a huge public sector, more siestas, high but ignored taxes — with a collective good riddance to those awful intrusive German bankers?
Here at home, Obama got his ObamaCare. Why, then, did he grant hundreds of exemptions — many to northern California liberals? Should they instead not have lined up to volunteer to implement such a wonderful, long-needed entitlement?
He said energy would rightly sky-rocket, given his determination to curb fossil fuel production (cf. “bankrupt” coal companies). Why then is Obama concerned that gas hit $4; is not such a high price a welcomed retardant to burning hot fuels? The higher the gas prices, the more that subsidized wind and solar power, and electric cars are attractive, and thus the more we enjoy “sustainable” power. Right? Am I missing something about this desire within our grasp of "living within our means"?
Obama enjoyed big majorities in both houses of Congress; and on the campaign trail he had promised a de facto amnesty under the euphemism of “comprehensive immigration reform.” So why did he not grant such exemptions, and absorb 11, 15, or 20 million new “citizens” from Oaxaca? Is not that the point of amnesty, to welcome in new constituencies who will remember a benefactor at the polls?
We have heard that taxes, more taxes, and more taxes are the cure for the massive deficits, run up by out of control spending. OK, fine. But why then does multimillionaire John Kerry go to great lengths to avoid taxes on his yacht (why a luxury yacht when so many have so little?); why are redistributive overseers like Timothy Geithner, Eric Holder, Tom Daschle, Charles Rangel, and Hilda Solis either late or delinquent in paying the federal, state, or local governments what they owe? Were not high taxes on the upper incomes like themselves the point of it all? Should not they pay all they can to ensure that their brethren receive needed entitlements? I thought Bono would lead an international effort of multimillionaire rock stars to relocate to socialist states like Ireland or Greece, so that they might gladly pay 75% of their incomes (which at “some point” they had enough of) to help others closer to home. Why instead is he fleeing to low-tax nations? Did not such socialists have enough money by now without undermining the socialist state?

NJPW Dominion News: Kenny Omega Defeats Kazuchika Okada For IWGP Championship & Announces The Era Of The #GoldenElite...
NJPW: #TheGoldenElite Era Has Arrived! The 720- Day Championship Reign of Kazuchika Okada is brought to an end by Kenny Omega. Now it looks like the era of #TheGoldenElite as was mentioned by the new #IWGPCHAMPION Omega at the after match press conference NJPW consistently does following matches at events like these. #NJPWDominion was a rock solid event put on by New Japan Pro Wrestling and Andre Corbeil rates New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion 7.5 out of 10. The first fall was largely Omega’s story, dominating early after countering Okada’s trademark crossbody over the barricade with a wicked V-Trigger, but the champion kept his head in the fight, avoided One-Winged Angel with almost obsessed dedication (and some help from a dropkick that sent Kenny rib-first into the barricade), and eventually was able to take it reversing a Rainmaker reversal into a rana pin. The second fall was largely the reverse, starting slow with Okada in charge, grinding Omega down, but Kenny is able to carve increasingly large openings through a double stomp through a table, a Poison Frankensteiner, and at last escaping a rana pin of the same kind that won the first fall and hitting One-Winged Angel to even the score. The third fall was where things really, truly became great, with both men absolutely spent and digging deep for their last reserves of energy, both trying and failing to hit their finishers despite having clear openings to do so, so worn down were they. But eventually, after a snap One-Winged Angel where the Rainmaker was able to get the ropes, one more classical-style one was enough to end Kazuchika’s record-breaking title reign at long last.

I’ll start with my name. I’m Rodney. The past 6 years I’ve played more auditions than I can count and coached hundreds if not thousands of singers on their auditions and material. This blog will be mostly my thoughts on all things audition and actor related, with anecdotes and things that people behind the table hate…and maybe some things they love.
There will also be large amounts of space dedicated to an often overlooked and scoffed at crippler in the world: anxiety. As an artist with pretty debilitating anxiety, I will share with you some of my journey on finding a way to manage the monster.
I hope you enjoy! And if you do or don’t, leave a comment and let me know what you’d like to hear about!

The season is over already in the English premier league, and our attention is turned towards the fast-approaching summer transfer window.
Chelsea are premier league champions and are going to play in the Champions League next season. Their Italian manager Antonio Conte, as expected, is planning to bolster his squad ahead of a busy campaign next term.
Chelsea has been linked with a handful of top players as the summer transfer window approaches. However, the club are also set to lose some of their stars -one of which is Diego Costa.
Throughout the January transfer window, the Spanish forward was linked with a move to the Chinese Super League.
However, a move failed to materialized and the 28-year-old stay put at Stamford Bridge to assist the west London club win the premier league title.
However, it appears the Chinese side Tianjin Quanjian are not backing off as they are set to pay £76m for the Spaniard (via The Times) this summer. Nevertheless, it was added that the deal is in doubt due to a new update by the Chinese Football Association in regards to tax on money spent on foreign players.
Antonio Conte is already sourcing for a replacement for Costa, and has been linked with Everton star striker Romelu Lukaku ahead of the summer transfer window. However, the Belgian’s club are said to be demanding a world record fee of £100M for him.
The Times claimed the premier league champions are now set to sell Costa for anything above £60m to get more funds for their summer activities.

Suicide death estimates in Nairobi, Kenya: A 10-year retrospective study of Postmortem records
Simon Njuguna, Grace Midigo, Linda Norah Khakali, Salahudeen Mirza, Jasmit Shah
Suicide is a very serious public health problem in Kenya. The country has recently taken steps to address this issue by implementing a national suicide prevention strategy. However, there is still a lot we don't know about suicide deaths in Kenya, which makes it challenging to identify effective prevention measures.
Previous studies on this topic have not provided a complete picture because they relied on methods that may have underestimated the actual number of suicide deaths. To make progress in preventing suicides, it is essential to understand the basic information about those who have died by suicide, such as their age, gender, and other demographic factors, as well as the methods they used.
To address these gaps, researchers plan to study past ten-year forensic records of suicide deaths in Nairobi,Kenya. These records were confirmed through post-mortem forensic autopsies at a large public mortuary. By analyzing this data, the study aims to estimate the prevalence of suicide deaths in Nairobi over the past decade and gain insights into the demographic characteristics of those who died by suicide and the methods they used.
This study is crucial because it will provide much-needed information to guide public policy and targeted interventions to prevent suicide deaths in Nairobi and potentially in other parts of Kenya. By understanding who is most at risk and how they are choosing to end their lives, policymakers and health professionals can develop more effective strategies to save lives and support those in need.


text: Another un-fern like fern. It is a miniature variety that has fan shaped fronds and may reach 8" tall or so. In nature, it grows in rocky arid climates and it can be challenging to grow in cultivation. Be careful not to over-water, although it does seem to like evenly moist conditions with moderate humidity during it's summer growing period, it should be watered sparingly and carefully during colder months. Probably not very well suited for a dart frog habitat although it might do better in a Red Eye Tree frog enclosure. Sometimes also called the 'Eyelash Fern'. Available plants are young, potted in 2" pots. Grows 6" to 8" tall.
