The Prime Minister of Japan(内閣総理大臣Naikaku-sōri-daijin, or Shushō(首相)) is the head of government of Japan. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Emperor of Japan after being designated by the National Diet and must enjoy the confidence of the House of Representatives to remain in office. He is the head of the Cabinet and appoints and dismisses the other Ministers of State. The literal translation of the Japanese name for the office is Minister for the Comprehensive Administration of (or the Presidency over) the Cabinet.
The head of government is either the highest or second highest official in the executive branch of a sovereign state, a federated state, or a self-governing colony, who often presides over a cabinet, a group of ministers or secretaries who lead executive departments. "Head of government" is often differentiated from "head of state", as they may be separate positions, individuals, or roles depending on the country.
Japan is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian continent and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea in the south.
The Imperial Investiture is an official inauguration ceremony whereby the Emperor of Japan formally appoints the designated Chief Justice or Prime Minister of Japan to office.
Before the adoption of the Meiji Constitution, Japan had in practice no written constitution. Originally, a Chinese-inspired legal system known as ritsuryō was enacted in the late Asuka period and early Nara period. It described a government based on an elaborate and rational meritocratic bureaucracy, serving, in theory, under the ultimate authority of the Emperor; although in practice, real power was often held elsewhere, such as in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, who intermarried with the Imperial Family in the Heian period, or by the ruling shōgun . Theoretically, the last ritsuryō code, the Yōrō Code enacted in 752, was still in force at the time of the Meiji Restoration.
The Constitution of the Empire of Japan, known informally as the Meiji Constitution, was the constitution of the Empire of Japan which had the proclamation on February 11, 1889, and had enacted since November 29, 1890 until May 2, 1947. Enacted after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, it provided for a form of mixed constitutional and absolute monarchy, based jointly on the Prussian and British models. In theory, the Emperor of Japan was the supreme leader, and the Cabinet, whose Prime Minister would be elected by a Privy Council, were his followers; in practice, the Emperor was head of state but the Prime Minister was the actual head of government. Under the Meiji Constitution, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet were not necessarily chosen from the elected members of the group.
A constitution is an aggregate of fundamental principles or established precedents that constitute the legal basis of a polity, organisation or other type of entity, and commonly determine how that entity is to be governed.
Ritsuryō (律令) is the historical law system based on the philosophies of Confucianism and Chinese Legalism in Japan. The political system in accord to Ritsuryō is called "Ritsuryō-sei" (律令制). Kyaku (格) are amendments of Ritsuryō, Shiki (式) are enactments.
Under this system, the Daijō-daijin (太政大臣, Chancellor of the Realm) [1] was the head of the Daijō-kan (Department of State), the highest organ of Japan's pre-modern Imperial government during the Heian period and until briefly under the Meiji Constitution with the appointment of Sanjō Sanetomi in 1871. The office was replaced in 1885 with the appointment of Itō Hirobumi to the new position of Prime Minister, [2] four years before the enactment of the Meiji Constitution, which mentions neither the Cabinet nor the position of Prime Minister explicitly. [3] [4] It took its current form with the adoption of the Constitution of Japan in 1947.
The Daijō-daijin or Dajō-daijin was the head of the Daijō-kan during and after the Nara period and briefly under the Meiji Constitution. Equivalent to the Chinese Taishi (太師).
The Daijō-kan or Dajō-kan, also known as the Great Council of State, was (i) (Daijō-kan) the highest organ of Japan's premodern Imperial government under Ritsuryō legal system during and after the Nara period or (ii) (Dajō-kan) the highest organ of Japan's government briefly restored to power after the Meiji Restoration, which was replaced by the Cabinet.
The Heian period is the last division of classical Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185. The period is named after the capital city of Heian-kyō, or modern Kyōto. It is the period in Japanese history when Buddhism, Taoism and other Chinese influences were at their height. The Heian period is also considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for its art, especially poetry and literature. Although the Imperial House of Japan had power on the surface, the real power was in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful aristocratic family who had intermarried with the imperial family. Many emperors actually had mothers from the Fujiwara family. Heian (平安) means "peace" in Japanese.
To date, 62 people have served this position. The current Prime Minister is Shinzō Abe, who re-took office on December 26, 2012. He is the first former Prime Minister to return to office since 1948, and the 2nd longest serving Prime Minister to date.
Shinzō Abe is a Japanese politician who has been Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) since 2012. He previously served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2007 and Chief Cabinet Secretary from 2005 to 2006. In late August 2019, Abe surpassed Eisaku Satō to become the second-longest serving prime minister in Japanese history, and the longest-serving Prime Minister in post-war Japan. Abe will surpass this milestone and become the longest serving incumbent if he is still in office on 19 November 2019.
The Prime Minister is designated by both houses of the Diet, before the conduct of any other business. For that purpose, each conducts a ballot under the run-off system. If the two houses choose different individuals, then a joint committee of both houses is appointed to agree on a common candidate. Ultimately, however, if the two houses do not agree within ten days, the decision of the House of Representatives is deemed to be that of the Diet. Therefore, the House of Representatives can theoretically ensure the appointment of any Prime Minister it wants. [5] The candidate is then presented with his or her commission, and formally appointed to office by the Emperor. [6]
The National Diet is Japan's bicameral legislature. It is composed of a lower house called the House of Representatives, and an upper house, called the House of Councillors. Both houses of the Diet are directly elected under parallel voting systems. In addition to passing laws, the Diet is formally responsible for selecting the Prime Minister. The Diet was first convened as the Imperial Diet in 1889 as a result of adopting the Meiji Constitution. The Diet took its current form in 1947 upon the adoption of the post-war constitution, which considers it the highest organ of state power. The National Diet Building is in Nagatachō, Chiyoda, Tokyo.
The two-round system is a voting method used to elect a single winner, where the voter casts a single vote for their chosen candidate. However, if no candidate receives the required number of votes, then those candidates having less than a certain proportion of the votes, or all but the two candidates receiving the most votes, are eliminated, and a second round of voting is held.
The Emperor of Japan is the head of the Imperial Family and the head of state of Japan. Under the 1947 constitution, he is defined as "the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people." Historically, he is also the highest authority of the Shinto religion. In Japanese, the emperor is called Tennō, literally "heavenly sovereign". In English, the use of the term Mikado for the emperor was once common, but is now considered obsolete.
In practice, the Prime Minister is almost always the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives, or the leader of the senior partner in the governing coalition.
The Japan Self-Defense Forces, JSDF, also referred to as the Self-Defense Forces (SDF), Japan Defense Forces (JDF), or the Japanese armed forces, are the unified military forces of Japan that were established in 1954, and are controlled by the Ministry of Defense. The JSDF ranked as the world's fourth most-powerful military in conventional capabilities in a Credit Suisse report in 2015 and it has the world's eighth-largest military budget. In recent years they have been engaged in international peacekeeping operations including UN peacekeeping.
Yasuhiro Nakasone is a Japanese politician who served as Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party from 1982 to 1987. He was a member of the House of Representatives for more than 50 years. He is best known for pushing through the privatization of state-owned companies, and for helping to revitalize Japanese nationalism during and after his term as prime minister. He turned 100 on 27 May 2018, and as of 2019, he is the oldest living state leader at the age of 101.
In most other constitutional monarchies, the monarch is nominal chief executive, while being bound by convention to act on the advice of the cabinet. In contrast, the Constitution of Japan explicitly vests executive power in the Cabinet, of which the Prime Minister is the leader. His countersignature is required for all laws and Cabinet orders. While most ministers in parliamentary democracies have some freedom of action within the bounds of cabinet collective responsibility, the Japanese Cabinet is effectively an extension of the Prime Minister's authority.
Located near the Diet building, the Office of the Prime Minister of Japan is called the Kantei (官邸). The original Kantei served from 1929 until 2002, when a new building was inaugurated to serve as the current Kantei. [17] The old Kantei was then converted into the Official Residence, or Kōtei(公邸). [18] The Kōtei lies to the southwest of the Kantei, and is linked by a walkway. [18]
The Prime Minister of Japan travels in a Lexus LS 600h L, [19] the official transport for the head of government, or an unmodified Toyota Century escorted by a police motorcade of numerous Toyota Celsiors.
For long distance air travel, Japan maintains two Boeing 747-400 aircraft mostly for the Prime Minister of Japan, the Emperor, Empress and other members of the Imperial Family, operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
They have the radio callsigns Japanese Air Force One and Japanese Air Force Two when operating on official business, and Cygnus One and Cygnus Two when operating outside of official business (e.g., on training flights). The aircraft always fly together on government missions, with one serving as the primary transport and the other serving as a backup with maintenance personnel on board. The aircraft are officially referred to as Japanese government exclusive aircraft(日本国政府専用機Nippon-koku seifu sen'yōki). [20]
The aircraft were constructed at the Boeing factory at the same time as the U.S. Air Force One VC-25s, though the U.S. aircraft were built to the 747-200 design, while the Japanese aircraft were built to the more contemporary 747-400 design. Both Japanese aircraft were delivered in 1990. [21] The 747s will be replaced by new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in fiscal year 2019. [22]
Until the mid-1930s, the Prime Minister of Japan was normally granted a hereditary peerage ( kazoku ) prior to leaving office if he had not already been ennobled. Titles were usually bestowed in the ranks of count, viscount or baron, depending on the relative accomplishments and status of the Prime Minister. The two highest ranks, marquess and prince, were only bestowed upon highly distinguished statesmen, and were not granted to a Prime Minister after 1928. The last Prime Minister who was a peer was Baron Kijūrō Shidehara, who served as Prime Minister from October 1945 to May 1946. The peerage was abolished when the Constitution of Japan came into effect in May 1947.
Certain eminent Prime Ministers have been awarded the Order of the Chrysanthemum, typically in the degree of Grand Cordon. The highest honour in the Japanese honours system, the Collar of the Order of the Chrysanthemum, has only been conferred upon select Prime Ministers and eminent statesmen; the last such award to a living Prime Minister was to Saionji Kinmochi in 1928. More often, the Order of the Chrysanthemum has been a posthumous distinction; the Collar of the order was last awarded posthumously to former Prime Minister Eisaku Satō in June 1975. The Grand Cordon has typically been posthumously awarded; the most recent such award was to Ryutaro Hashimoto in July 2006. Currently, Yasuhiro Nakasone is the only living former Prime Minister to hold the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Chrysanthemum, which he received in 1997.
After relinquishing office, the Prime Minister is normally accorded the second or senior third rank in the court order of precedence, and is usually raised to the senior second rank posthumously. Certain distinguished Prime Ministers have been posthumously raised to the first rank; the last such award was to Sato Eisaku in 1975. Since the 1920s, following their tenure in office, Prime Ministers have typically been conferred with the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers (until 2003 a special higher class of the Order of the Rising Sun), depending on tenure and eminence. However, honours may be withheld due to misconduct or refusal on the part of the Prime Minister (for example, Kiichi Miyazawa).
Duke Katsura Tarō was a Japanese general within the Imperial Japanese Army, and a politician who remains the longest-serving Prime Minister of Japan to date, having served three terms from 1901 to 1906, 1908 to 1911 and 1912 to 1913.
The Constitution of Japan is the fundamental law of Japan. It was enacted on 3 May 1947, as a new constitution for a post-war Japan.
Count Kuroda Kiyotaka, also known as Kuroda Ryōsuke, was a Japanese politician of the Meiji era. He was Prime Minister of Japan from 1888 to 1889.
Duke Yamagata Aritomo, also known as Yamagata Kyōsuke, was a Japanese field marshal in the Imperial Japanese Army and twice Prime Minister of Japan. He was one of the main architects of the military and political foundations of early modern Japan. Yamagata Aritomo can be seen as the father of Japanese militarism.
Marquess Ōkuma Shigenobu was a Japanese politician during the Empire of Japan and the Prime Minister of Japan in 1898 and from 1914 to 1916. Ōkuma was also an early advocate of Western science and culture in Japan, and founder of Waseda University.
Count Kiyoura Keigo was a Japanese politician. He was the Prime Minister of Japan in 1924, during the period which historians have called the "Taishō Democracy".
Count Katō Takaaki was a Japanese politician, diplomat, and Prime Minister of Japan from 1924 until his death on 28 January 1926, during the period which historians have called "Taishō Democracy". He was also known as Katō Kōmei.
The House of Representatives is the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. The House of Councillors is the upper house.
Keizō Obuchi was a Japanese politician who served as Prime Minister of Japan from 1998 to 2000, and was elected to the House of Representatives twelve times. His political career ended prematurely when, in early 2000, he suffered a serious, and ultimately fatal, stroke.
The Cabinet of Japan is the executive branch of the government of Japan. It consists of the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the Emperor after being designated by the National Diet, and up to nineteen other members, called Ministers of State. The Prime Minister is designated by the Diet, and the remaining ministers are appointed and dismissed by the Prime Minister. The Cabinet is collectively responsible to the Diet and must resign if a motion of no confidence is adopted by the Diet.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan is a Minister of State who is responsible for directing the Cabinet Secretariat of Japan. The main function of the Chief Cabinet Secretary is to coordinate the policies of ministries and agencies in the executive branch. The Chief Cabinet Secretary serves as the government's press secretary, conducts policy research, prepares materials to be discussed at cabinet meetings, and, in time of national crisis, coordinates ministries and agencies of the executive branch. The Chief Cabinet Secretary is customarily nominated as the first in line to serve as temporary Acting Prime Minister in case the Prime Minister is unable to serve due to death or other grave reasons until a new Prime Minister is appointed. The Chief Cabinet Secretary's office is located on the fifth floor of the Prime Minister's official residence in Tokyo.
Prince Sanjō Sanetomi was a Japanese Imperial court noble and statesman at the time of the Meiji Restoration. He held many high-ranking offices in the Meiji government.
The Japanese Air Force One and Japanese Air Force Two are the radio callsigns of the two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft used by the government of Japan for overseas travel by the Emperor, Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials. Each aircraft has a capacity of 140 passengers and can be used for emergency evacuations of Japanese citizens and overseas deployment of Japan Self-Defense Forces personnel. The aircraft are operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

The government of Japan is a constitutional monarchy in which the power of the Emperor is limited and is relegated primarily to ceremonial duties. As in many other states, the Government is divided into three branches: the Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch.
The Cabinet Secretariat is an agency in the Japanese government, headed by the Chief Cabinet Secretary. It organizes the Cabinet's public relations, coordinates ministries and agencies, collects intelligence for the government, and organizes miscellaneous other tasks for the Cabinet, including the Prime Minister's office (Kantei) and residence (Kōtei).
The Okada Cabinet governed the Empire of Japan under the leadership of prime minister Keisuke Okada from 1934 to 1936. Okada was appointed on July 8, 1934 after predecessor Saitō Makoto had resigned over the Teijin Incident. Okada's appointment dashed hopes for a revival of political party influence, his cabinet was the second "national unity cabinet" after the Saitō Cabinet that had marked the end of the party rule of the 1920s and early 1930s, the so-called Taishō Democracy. Key ministers came from the bureaucracy and the military, other posts were held by politicians mostly from the minority Minseitō and the Shōwakai, a militarist breakaway group from the majority Seiyūkai that had refused to let its members join the Okada Cabinet.
The Murayama Cabinet governed Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama from 1994 until a 1995 Cabinet Reshuffle. Murayama was elected prime minister by the National Diet on 29 June 1994 after the threat of a no-confidence vote had brought down the previous minority Hata Cabinet. Murayama's and his cabinet's formal investiture by the Emperor took place one day later.
The Katayama Cabinet governed Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama from May 1947 to March 1948. It was the first cabinet under the postwar constitution.

Anthony Crutcher
Anthony started practicing yoga some 25 years ago to help him reduce and manage work related stress. He began teaching himself using a book titled "Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan" by Richard Hittleman. He was self taught for over three years before he ever took a class with an instructor. As soon as he started taking classes with a skilled teacher, his inner world took on a new dimension, his practice deepened, and his stress levels diminished while his overall well-being increased. This inspired him to share yoga with others and become a yoga teacher.
Anthony believes in a slower, more mindful form of yoga, and that is what you can expect to experience in his classes. He believes that when we slow down and tune in to our movements, we can experience mind-body connections on a deeper, more subtle level. Anthony views his role as that of a guide who takes students on an inward journey of self-discovery; giving them space and time to discover and experience their own individual beauty, strength, balance, peace and acceptance.
When he isn't teaching, Anthony enjoys gardening, writing poetry and woodcarving.
Mina Chong
Mina first started practicing yoga in 2005. She became a certified yoga instructor and has been teaching yoga since 2006. In her classes, you can expect creative, safe and effective exercises, and healing touch.
Mina believes that anyone can practice yoga, and her classes are all about showing up, doing what you can, and enjoying healthy movement. Mina loves to share her time and be of service to others, she also loves to cook/bake, and enjoys the occasional binge watching shows on Netflix(it's all about balance).
Jeanette Jordan
Jeanette first started doing yoga in 2013, and became a 200hr certified instructor in January of 2015. Her journey started when she was a new mom, who was looking for a way to stay active and create space for herself that felt meaningful.
In 2016 Jeanette pursued a license in massage therapy to increase her knowledge of the human body and its functions. This forever changed her yoga practice, and she now teaches a unique style of yoga that is a blend of therapeutic stretch, strengthening, and somatic meditation.

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) of chitosan and ulvan were fabricated to study alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) mediated formation of apatitic minerals. Scaffolds of the PEC were subjected to ALP and successful mineral formation was studied using SEM, Raman and XRD techniques. Investigation of the morphology via SEM shows globular structures of the deposited minerals, which promoted cell attachment, proliferation and extracellular matrix formation. The PEC and their successful calcium phosphate based mineralization offers a greener route of scaffold fabrication towards developing resorbable materials for tissue engineering.

Looking for native plants? Worried about Bambi sneaking into your garden and destroying your hostas? A problem for many gardeners, deer seem to feed on just about everything, aside from maybe those inflatable palm trees you see at the pool. But battle-weary gardeners, take heed (and maybe sit down), because believe it or not there are more than a few native plants that will resist deer and also enhance the beauty of your landscape.
Looking for native plants? Worried about Bambi sneaking into your garden and destroying your hostas? A problem for many gardeners, deer seem to feed on just about everything, aside from maybe those inflatable palm trees you see at the pool. But battle-weary gardeners, take heed (and maybe sit down), because believe it or not there are more than a few native plants that will resist deer and also enhance the beauty of your landscape.
Why native plants?
It seems these days that I get more and more questions about native plants for home landscapes. And what�s the appeal? For the wildlife-friendly folks it may be to establish habitat for our native beneficial wildlife species that are losing a foothold as urban areas continue to expand. It could also be that native plants are low-maintenance once they are established. For the newcomer, this has great appeal. But what about deer? A hungry deer can wreak havoc in the garden. Add a whole family of 20 and you might as well cement your yard. But there are a lot of native tree, shrub, grass, and flowering plants that resist deer, and the side effect of that is that with native plants, you have the ability to support native wildlife species.
Start from the top.
When planning your landscape, first take into account the large trees you want, which should be relative in size to your landscape. A small yard for example might only have one, or maybe even zero, large trees. Large trees like red maple, river birch, sycamore, and white oaks are great selections for a deer resistant landscape. Coming in at 60-80 feet at maturity, American beech is an excellent specimen tree for your yard. Papery leaves and smooth gray bark enhance woodland edges, and the nuts produced in the fall provide a food source for a myriad of bird and mammal species.
If you are looking for smaller trees that are deer-resistant, consider Carolina cherry laurel, eastern redbud, or red buckeye, a small native whose bright red flowers are favorites of hummingbirds. At about 15-20 feet in height, Fringe tree is also an excellent early spring specimen for your yard. Witch hazel is also great, as the bright yellow flowers show themselves in late winter.
Focus on the middle.
Highbush blueberry, inkberry, and arrowood are shrubs with deer-resistant qualities. Buttonbush is a deciduous shrub that tolerates a variety of conditions, and is a host plant for many species of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Coastal doghobble is a great choice for shady areas with well-drained soils and the evergreen leaves provide interest and cover for wildlife in the winter months. Ferns are excellent choices for landscapes. Cinnamon fern is a good choice if you have wet soils, and is also one of the few native ferns that will tolerate full sun. Lady fern is also good in wet soils, but needs some shade in the afternoon. Christmas fern is evergreen and prefers shady areas with well-drained soils.
Perennials like goldenrod, joe-pye weed, black-eyed susan, or asters also are resistant to deer feeding and add seasonal interest throughout the year. Coreopsis is attractive to many beneficial butterfly, moth, and predatory hoverflies whose larvae also feed on the nectar, pollen, and leaves of these plants.
Though no plant is deer proof and they will often continue to challenge our conventional knowledge of what they will feed on, there are more than a few tree, shrub, and groundcover plants you can use in your yard. And do not totally abandon the hope of a deer-free tulip bed. A diverse landscape with deer-resistant plants will make more palatable selections less noticeable to deer.
Where can you find the natives?
A few local nurseries such as Pender Pines in Hampstead carry many native plant species, as well as �My Garden Plants� in Castle Hayne, and Grizz�s Plant Nursery and Shelton Herb Farm, both in the Leland area. Check also with Tinga Nursery and Johnson�s Plant Nursery in New Hanover and Brunswick Counties respectively, as they also carry native, deer-resistant plant selections.

Record Keeping for Sandpaper Letters
This Fall will mark the beginning of my sixth year in the classroom – where has the time gone?! While I have learned much over the years, I have yet to find an ideal method of keeping records specific to Sandpaper Letters. Last year, I kept a separate notebook for keeping record of introduction of sounds and Sandpaper Letters. At first, this was ideal in the sense that I could easily find each child's record and see which sounds and (later) letters had been introduced. After a while, however, it felt as if I was loosing track as to which letters the child had already mastered and which ones still needed practice. For this reason, I wanted to find a solution and better way to keep record within the records!
Thankfully, during the Language Oral Exam at the beginning of this summer, one of our instructors shared with us an interesting method of record keeping for Sandpaper Letters. First, each child has their own booklet with the entire alphabet on the inside cover while the remaining pages are blank. There are enough pages for one letter per page.
|I've made one booklet for each child – they are delightfully small, only about 2×3 inches.
Here is a closer look at the alphabet on the inside cover:
|Handwritten in cursive.
Once a child is introduced a letter, a mark is made like this (on the letter on the inside cover…):
As the child works to master the letter, a second mark is made:
When the child masters the letter, a final mark is made, completing a triangle around the letter:
As each letter is mastered (not necessarily in order), the teacher (or child) writes the letter on a page in the booklet. The booklet stays at school until all letters are complete. Eventually, the entire booklet has one letter on each page which the child can use to review.
|I plan to keep them in the classroom using this adorable basket on a shelf…Seriously, how much fun will this be to carry to each lesson?!
I appreciate how this method not only helps the teacher keep track of progression within the lessons of the Sandpaper Letters, but also the child has a beautiful booklet to take home and share with family. I know that the children in my class LOVE to take home booklets that are part of lessons we've had together! Additionally, I feel this method gives the child more opportunities to see the written symbols (inside cover) as we work through the letters. Likewise, my assistant can easily surmise by looking at through the booklet which letters the child has worked on and which ones still need a lesson.
It will be exciting to implement this new method of record keeping for Sandpaper Letters in the classroom this Fall. In case you are wondering, yes, we use cursive for teaching writing in my class… you can read more about it in this post.

Beagle - Honey Beth - Medium - Adult - Female - Dog
Honey is a little beagle/dachshund or beagle/basset mix, who loves food, other dogs and YOU! She is a cuddly girl who has some confidence issues, but bonds quickly with people who are kind to her. She is a fairly easygoing dog and likes to spend evenings on the couch, but has a good amount of energy to play with toys and other dogs too. Honey's prior history is unknown. She was picked up as a stray in the Carolinas and appears to have had many litters of puppies. She likes the outdoors, but was confused and a little overwhelmed when she went on a walk for the first time. She will need some continued socialization to the outside world and is a little hesitant in new situations, but usually warms up quickly and ends up taking it all in stride. Honey has been a perfect foster except for two things--she snores very loudly and has a high prey drive when it comes to birds and other critters in the yard. She is a joy to have around...!

Some Of The Common Recurve Mistakes Of Archery And How You Can Fix Them
Whenever you play a game, you need to learn its technique, and that takes time. You need to have practised so that you can have accuracy in a sport. A sport like archery needs accuracy, and you need to watch and work on your mistakes. To correct your mistakes, you need to know them first.
Here are some of the common recurve mistakes of archery-
- Losing your aim: there are cases when the archer loses an aiming point when they release even after aiming at a certain point. The trick is you should focus on the centre sight of the pin and not the line of the circle.
- Aiming and thinking too hard: archer often uses to over aim their target by thinking too hard. If you think too much, you will ultimately aim too much, and you can fix this problem by rigorous training so that you don't do anything extra while being on the line of shooting.
- Holding for too long: the key to an archer's accuracy depends upon their consistent timing and shot routine, it is very important to maintain a usual timing. You need to be confident and stop holding a shot for too long.
- Fight with the wind: people tend to fight with the wind without realizing that they cannot control it. Therefore instead of doing that you just need to shoot.
- Focusing on the equipment: people tend to be so much focused on their new and shiny kit that they often lose concentration.
- Chasing perfection: people sometimes make extra movements to seek perfection, but that can ruin your shot so just focus on your basic technique and shoot.
These were some of the common mistakes that people tend to do in archery, and they should stop doing it. Moreover, apart from archery, there are many online games like poker online or video games that you can play if you are not interested in archery.

An in vitro model to assess the immunosuppressive effect of tick saliva on the mobilization of inflammatory monocyte-derived cells
Vachiéry N., Puech C., Cavelier P., Rodrigues V., Aprelon R., Lefrançois T., Martinez D., Epardaud M.. 2015. Veterinary Research, 46 (1) : 11 p..
Tick-borne pathogens cause potent infections. These pathogens benefit from molecules contained in tick saliva that have evolved to modulate host innate and adaptive immune responses. This is called ¿saliva-activated transmission¿ and enables tick-borne pathogens to evade host immune responses. Ticks feed on their host for relatively long periods; thus, mechanisms counteracting the inflammation-driven recruitment and activation of innate effector cells at the bite site, are an effective strategy to escape the immune response. Here, we developed an original in vitro model to evaluate and to characterize the immunomodulatory effects of tick saliva that prevent the establishment of a local inflammatory immune response. This model mimics the tick bite and enables the assessment of the effect of saliva on the inflammatory-associated dynamic recruitment of cells from the mononuclear phagocyte system. Using this model, we were able to recapitulate the dual effect of tick saliva on the mobilization of inflammatory monocyte-derived cells, i.e. (i) impaired recruitment of monocytes from the blood to the bite wound; and (ii) poor mobilization of monocyte-derived cells from the skin to the draining lymph node. This simple tool reconstitutes the effect of tick saliva in vivo, which we characterized in the mouse, and should enable the identification of important factors facilitating pathogen infection. Furthermore, this model may be applied to the characterization of any pathogen-derived immunosuppressive molecule affecting the establishment of the inflammatory immune response. (Résumé d'auteur)

And yes, a rabbi and a preacher really did go to a Pride parade!
"In a climate of oppression and hate, Bert has courageously been the voice of love and inclusion to God's LGBTQ children in a state and denomination that largely denies their equality."

The Ghosts that Haunt Us
Review of Mean by Myriam Gurba (USA: Coffee House Press, 2017)
by Prasanthi Ram
This review contains spoilers and discusses sexual assault.
Mean by Myriam Gurba is a confrontational coming-of-age memoir that begins in Oakley Park, Southern California, where a woman is about to be raped and murdered. This violence, for a reader approaching the book without prior warning, comes as a shock. It begins innocently enough, as the opening paragraphs set the stage: "Let's become a spot upon which the fateful moonlight shines." Through the deliberate use of present tense, the plural pronoun "we" and a tone of couched understatement, the reader is overcome with a dawning sense of horror and helplessness as they are made to bear witness to the violence.
Gurba's choice of incident is deliberate, as she reveals that this is in fact a true rape-and-murder case that occurred on November 15, 1996 in Santa Maria, USA. The rapist was Tommy Jesse Martinez, Jr., his victim a Mexican migrant worker named Sophia Castro Torres. To the victim's discredit, Torres was reported in the news as a "transient," a reductive term that stripped her of any personhood or significance. It is Gurba who revisits the narrative and reclaims Torres' lost agency by deliberately using her first name, an intimate act, almost as if they knew each other well. This familiarity and connection to Torres is, initially, a mystery for the reader. Gurba closes her essay on Sophia by describing how she is burdened by feelings that are not just her own: "Sophia is always with me. She haunts me."
Following that grave opening, Sophia abruptly disappears into the background while Gurba emerges to recount her own growing-up years. She writes of being half-white and half-Chicana; of the privilege of growing up in a middle-class family, unlike Mexican immigrants (such as Sophia herself); of seeking racial solidarity with non-whites or at least non-racist whites, who refrained from calling her mother a "wetback"; of being quietly molested in fifth-grade history class by a classmate named Macaulay while their teacher averted his gaze; and of falling in lust and love with women and women's bodies ("Have you ever wanted to milk a well-endowed lady? Seriously milk her?"). Her tone holds a thrilling and sometimes disconcerting balance between severity and humor, true to the fundamental fact of life that even the most morbid of contradictions occupy the same time and space. And she spares absolutely no details—at one point, she describes having an affair with a Berkeley drama professor who was married and "held office hours in Dwinelle Hall," telling clues for anyone familiar with the then-faculty.
This brutal honesty is part and parcel of Gurba's practice of the titular meanness. As she puts it," "I want to be a likeable female narrator. But I also enjoy being mean." This enjoyment does not negate the fact that it is also a necessity. After all, meanness is not just behaving at the expense of others but, more importantly, a defense against life's cruelties. It is a coping mechanism mandated by experiences of unchecked racial discrimination, misogyny, and violence accumulated and compacted since birth. Moreover, if one is female and is unable to go against the gendered norm of likeability and hone the ability to be mean, one may not survive the harsh reality. In fact, Gurba says, "Sometimes it keeps us alive." Nonetheless, she does draw a clear line between meanness as a survival tactic and meanness as unbridled evil, the kind where one feels entitled enough to inflict harm on another human being. "I'm not so mean that I've ever raped anybody," Gurba writes tellingly. "I've never grabbed a strange woman, pulled down her underpants, shoved my face into her pussy, and inhaled. That's a special kind of mean."
As engaging as Gurba is as a writer, readers may find the first half of Mean to be rather disjointed. The narrative experimentally shifts between lengthy prose passages and brief vignettes, between shape poetry and reproductions of official statistics. The chapters do not always speak to each other, the flow disrupted by unexpected tonal shifts or time jumps. This apparent incoherence is magnified by Sophia's disappearance from Gurba's story, which begs the question: why write about Sophia in the first place? The long-awaited answer comes in a chapter past midway of the book. The chapter title "I Wandered Lonely as a Dissociated Cloud" is a heartrending play on the opening line of Wordsworth's "Daffodils." Unlike the speaker of Wordsworth's poem, whose carefree tone matches his encounter with beauty in the world, Gurba's meeting with reality is an unpleasant one.
It turns out that the overall disjointedness of the book is in fact symptomatic of the underlying trauma of sexual assault—Gurba reveals that she too was raped. As the rest of the memoir unfolds, the truth comes together: the man who assaulted Gurba is the same man who raped and murdered Sophia. Strikingly, even this recount of violence and its aftermath is interwoven with bouts of dark humor, such as being absurdly horrified about being in her period underwear during the assault. Moreover, as Gurba waited for the arrest of her rapist, she recalls that "two ideas swam circles around each other like sharks in the aquarium of [her] skull," which points to the fundamental incongruity of experiencing, processing, and articulating trauma.
With this revelation, it becomes clear that at the heart of Mean is an agonizing sense of survivor's guilt: "I'm not glad you're dead, but I'm glad I'm alive." In the very first chapter, Gurba establishes that "Guilt is a ghost." It has clung onto her through time, repeatedly reminding her that she is alive whereas Sophia is dead. They lived parallel lives, two young Mexican women in the USA, Sophia 25 and Myriam 19, up until Sophia was "touched to death" by a man, and reduced to "a transient," a mere ghost. At the same time, Gurba's guilt presumably stems from what sets them apart as well: her middle-class upbringing, her access to education, and her ability to publish a full-length memoir in English. There is undeniable privilege in even being able to tell her story, a privilege that is governed by factors beyond the mere fact of her chance survival.
Yet, it must be acknowledged that Gurba never uses that privilege to write Sophia's story for her. Sophia is written intermittently into the memoir because she has to be, because the vile actions of one man back in 1996 caused their narratives to become irrefutably intertwined, because Tommy Lee Martinez, Jr.'s deliberate choice to be a "special kind of mean" led Gurba to be haunted by the late Sophia for years. It would therefore be cruel to paint Gurba as anything other than a woman trying to come to terms with the trauma and guilt that was forcibly inflicted upon her.
At the end of her memoir, Gurba does not feign optimism nor offer any form of consolation. Instead, she rightly stresses that sexual assault of women by men is pervasive, if not perpetual, and points to the astounding number of women who have and will continue to lose their lives to it—"Somewhere on this planet, a man is touching a woman to death. Somewhere on this planet, a man is about to touch a woman to death." Whether they like it or not, the reader too leaves the text haunted by its various ghosts: Sophia, Black Dahlia, and even young Gurba, the then-19-year-old who decided not to testify against Martinez but later provided the rawest testimony she could muster through this memoir. Ultimately Mean reminds us that in a world of recurrent cruelty, it is our duty to allow these ghosts to haunt us, to readily confront the truth about violence against women and, most of all, to be brutally honest, even mean, when speaking up about it.

On June 4th, Dammed to Extinction screened in Hood River. I was excited to see this slapped on the poster outside the theater!
Not only did we sell out, we actually OVERSOLD the theater. Some people who purchased tickets in advance didn't show and five minutes before the screening we let in the waitlist. I think that's first time I've ever had a film oversell an independent theater.
Wow, look at the crowds in this blurry low-light photo! The Hood River audience was fantastic; they laughed, cried, and clapped! The Q&A lasted almost as long as the film. The questions were so insightful, even I learned something (which is surprising given how much I immersed myself in this subject matter). I was inspired by the teens in the audience who asked some of the most critical questions of all.
We sold lots of T-shirts like this one and sent postcards to our Governor calling for the removal of the dams. People wandered the lobby afterwards waiting to ask even more questions. I received a few compliments on my editing of the film. The theater kicked us out at 9:30 and we went out for celebratory drinks. It was a bit of a late night, so I ended up crashing in Hood River.
It's not all glamour! Look at the time! Hitting the road bright and early for another day in the creative cave.

Wala nang kotong! Valenzuela signs deal for no-contact apprehension of traffic law violators
The local government of Valenzuela has signed a deal for the development, management and operation of the No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP) in the city.
The program will will utilize CCTVs, certain equipment and applications to capture images and videos of motorists and vehicles violating traffic laws, rules and regulations. Motorists caught violating traffic rules via CCTV will be issued notices specifying the date, time, place, and traffic violation committed.
Mayor Rex Gatchalian recently signed the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) on the city's behalf with QPAX Traffic Systems Incorporated CEO Manolo Ona.
Equipment for the NCAP will be installed starting July along the busiest intersections of the city.
Gatchalian said all revenues driven from the program will go to a trust fund to be used for the medical expenses of dialysis patients in the city.

La Liga president gives honest opinion on Lionel Messi now Cristiano Ronaldo is gone
When the day comes that Lionel Messi retires from football, there's a good chance the Argentine will be widely accepted as the greatest of all time.
As it stands there are still doubts about whether Messi really is the best, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele, Zinedine Zidane and Brazilian Ronaldo also in the running.
But there's no debating that Messi is the greatest to have ever played in Spain, simply because of the amount of time he's spent there and the amount of trophies he's won.
In his 14 years as a Barcelona first-team player Messi has won nine La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey six times and the Champions League on four occasions.
He's also won five Ballon d'Ors - a feat matched only by his arch nemesis, Ronaldo.
Messi and Ronaldo have fought for the title of world's best player ever since 2008, when the latter won the Ballon d'Or at Manchester United.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 and up until this summer, when he moved to Juventus, the Portuguese sought to prove he's better than Messi in the same league.
Who exactly is superior out of the two is entirely subjective, but La Liga president Javier Tebas has made no bones about who he prefers out of Messi and Ronaldo.
Now that Ronaldo is out of the picture, Tebas has proposed renaming the La Liga Player of the Year award after Messi, who he believes will be recognised as the GOAT when he retires.
"We will have to think about it," said Tebas recently. "I believe that Messi will be the greatest player of all time, even if he isn't already.
"Messi has been playing since he was a kid and always at the absolute top, top level and he never wavers.
"It would be a good idea to create a trophy in the future for the best player of that season that has Messi's name on it."
There's no way Tebas would have said that if Ronaldo was still at Real Madrid, let's face it.
Messi, 31, still has plenty of years at the top left in him, though, so it might be a long time before he has the Player of the Year award named after him.News Now - Sport News

From satellites to the rockets that launch them, Boeing Co.'s bold venture into space has been a dud.
Boeing loses satellite sales as Obama administration scrubs NASA moon missions
From satellites to the rockets that launch them, Boeing Co.'s bold venture into space has been a dud.
It's gone from a world leader in satellites to an also-ran. One launch business is in bankruptcy and the other racked up losses until it became a government-subsidized joint venture. Now even its prestigious role in the U.S. manned space program is ending, leaving the Chicago-based aerospace giant without a clear mission in the next era of space exploration.
"Boeing began the new century with what appeared to be a rapidly growing space business, but one by one, the opportunities have evaporated," says Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute, a Virginia-based national security think tank. "Management is going to have to take a hard look at whether it wants to remain in the space business."
Roger Krone, president of Boeing's Network and Space Systems division, says the company is "totally committed to the space business and is well-positioned for future growth in every part of the space business."
Space makes up the bulk of Mr. Krone's division, which generates about one-sixth of Boeing's revenue. Sticking with the business could require the company to make big investments with an uncertain payoff.
Nothing is more up in the air than the future of NASA and what it means for Boeing, historically the brains and manpower behind the space shuttle and the International Space Station. The space station is complete, leaving Boeing with an engineering support role, and the aging shuttle fleet's last flights take place later this year.
"It will be a significant piece of business going away," says Brewster Shaw, the former astronaut and shuttle commander who is now vice-president and general manager of Boeing's space exploration unit.
The shuttle's replacement is unknown. Near term, NASA will rely on Russia to ferry astronauts and cargo to the station. Eventually, the Obama administration hopes to entice Boeing and private companies to build their own spacecraft and compete for low-Earth-orbit missions. That would mean huge investments by Boeing, a radical change from cost-plus contracting, which takes financial risk out of cutting-edge technology development.
"I wouldn't say we're opposed to that path, but we're concerned about certain aspects of it," Mr. Shaw says. "We don't know how the government wants to buy this service," so it's hard to say whether it would make sense for Boeing.
Boeing has had a clear mission in space since 1996, when it acquired Rockwell International Corp., maker of the space shuttle and NASA's largest contractor. Four years later, Boeing added the satellite division of Hughes Electronics Corp., which accounted for about 40% of commercial communication satellites, as part of a goal to become "No. 1 in space."
The worldwide market for commercial satellites is roughly 15 to 25 a year, and Boeing has accounted for only two to four of them annually since 2003, according to Futron Corp., a Maryland-based aerospace market research firm.
Nine of Boeing's 10 satellite deliveries this year are for U.S. government agencies, where cutthroat price competition from foreign firms isn't a problem. But with defense budgets shrinking, Boeing is banking on a cheaper, medium-powered satellite to spark commercial sales. It sold four last year, but none so far this year.
"We expect some sales shortly," says Jim Simpson, vice-president of business development for Boeing's space and intelligence systems business. "Our objective is to get a more balanced portfolio" with commercial satellites accounting for 30% to 40% of sales.
Boeing's Network and Space Systems unit had revenue of nearly $10.9 billion and operating earnings of $839 million last year. The unit includes missile defense, border security, an Army modernization program which also face budget cuts and an unknown amount of top-secret government work, probably spy satellites.
Today, investors focus on Boeing's new widebody 787 aircraft, or its nine-year quest to build new refueling tankers for the Air Force, notes Florida-based JSA Research Inc. analyst Paul Nisbet, while space is "nothing that will move the needle very much when it comes to earnings."

Although, main reason for the exploratory essay is not really to obtain strong advice. The key idea can be to steer downward investigating right into a issue, draw mutually specifics, and post it with audience. Exploratory essay differs from nearly all of other kinds of academic writing because of the fact its identity intends for you to undergo unexplored territory and really should unearth your personal strategies it. If to communicate not as much metaphorically, you begin writing articles without knowing to what final thoughts you might experience. Commonly, you do have a matter at the start and should demonstrate it in essay; at this site you might want to publish an essay in order to find a place. Exploratory essay is typically particular when kids need to learn anything at all themselves, other than getting it defined by professors. It is typically difficult for a few people, others study greater in such a manner. If, you are supposed to take action in order to fully grasp some good information about the way. So, attempt to get it done.
To start out, take into account the situation of essay, its record that is certainly with regards to the key option or key inquiry. Center on why the topic is very important – what exactly is the explanation for the area of interest concerning its beneficial benefits and why your theme should certainly interest your reader. Throughout the principle perception or query – allow the audience to easily understand your pieces of paper by clarifying what exactly it is that you may be discussing about. Whether your document is very long, lightly explain the dwelling the papers follows.
Exclusive affordablepapers.com highlights of simply writing an exploratory essay:
- exploratory essays instructs much more about a concern or dilemma than an idea;
- it may be smart to investigate a few easy ways of the trouble when composing articles, demonstrating their pros and cons prior to you buying any of them.
- the two main practical ways to write down an essay: unplanned and retrospective. The initial check designs natural, which is protected by some course instructors; the actual 2nd – will let you increase the risk for essay softer.
Each method of cardstock includes their own structure, so exploratory essay is just not an exemption. It consists of obtained an introduction, most common appearance and realization. Its design the following:
- establish the topic, restriction its borders. This can be achieved in a number of methods – a quotation originating from a investigation papers, a brief description of some gatherings or ideas, directly wondering a question into the before anything else lines, and many others;
- clarify the matter, why it concerns. Collection the overall points of view within this, or maybe tips for dealing with it;
- be sure the readers comprehends the situation and why it is very important (some complications would like justification and description, but other people are very well referred to you don't really should discuss).
- give some supplementary background information in your particular essay;
- consider some of the viewpoints you will have already mentioned; returning with other people, compare them;
- go for your opinion is the most effective remedy, or package your very own new if you happen to disappointed along with the prior model..
Final result:
- get back to the beginning paragraph, consider regardless of whether you have got addressed on all debate, and tell your feelings with regards to the verdict.
The main thing make sure you do not forget to the exploratory essay is that you simply are supposed to investigate, see products and solutions and comprehend new stuff. Your stance might well be one of these that you summarize in the body, or it might be something that you have create you and your family.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Who seen this coming?
On paper, Sunday's Golden State Warriors game against the Los Angeles Lakers looked to be another easy victory for Dub City.
But the Splash Brothers (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson) shooting a combined 13-of-40 from the field and the Warriors just 13.3 percent from beyond the arc was more than enough to pave the way for one of the bigger upsets in the NBA this season — not to mention, sports, period — with the Lakers winning 112-95, handing Golden State its sixth loss of the year.
Sunday wasn't all a loss for the Splash Brothers and the Warriors, though.
Upon walking off the court, Kobe Bryant implored Curry to "keep pushing," according to Yahoo Sports, and to not give up on the Warriors' pursuit to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' all-time, single-season best mark of 72-10.
Bryant delivered Thompson a different parting gift, altogether, in the form of an autographed jersey.
So, basically Kobe beat them, doled out advice and came bearing gifts. All in a day's work for the Black Mamba during his 20th and final season, right?
"I played my entire career with blinders on, just focused on running the race," Bryant told Yahoo. "I didn't have time to focus on the sides. Now I've had an opportunity to come up for air and soak it all in, it's been great."

Tampa man resurrects retired Chuck E. Cheese's character to teach life lessons
TAMPA, Fla. - Not many adults have the chance to purchase a memory from their childhood, much less bring it back to life.
Jared Sanchez did, and it was one of his favorite characters growing up: "The King" from Chuck E. Cheese's. It was once one of the animatronic figures playing music on stage inside the kid-friendly venue.
"As a child I used to love The King. That was the only reason I'd forced my parents to take me for my birthday every year," the Tampa man explained to FOX 13. "[We would] literally secure a table right by The King and I'd just sit there and listen."
The character was retired in the 1990s, and most of the life-size King characters were given away or destroyed, but finding "The King" was a bucket list item for Sanchez. He finally purchased the character from a vendor and resurrected it in 2016. But around this time, he started to bring his day job home with him, including some emotional baggage that he didn't even know was there.
"I pretty much had a breakdown," Sanchez said. "I've never had a breakdown before that really took a shock to my system and I really didn't ever want to leave the house. I was just staring at the wall basically and I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't even look anyone in the eye and I know that's not me."
Sanchez said he eventually started writing music and singing along with The King, and, in a way it helped him come back to life. He created a YouTube show based on the character. Episodes would try to dissect and educate a variety of topics, like how to not lie, cheat or steal, and understanding depression.
"I would have a dream of literally walking into a Chuck E. Cheese's and asking the manager if you still have The King character and him saying, 'Yeah, it's broken and it's in the back,' and then I'd wake up," Sanchez recalled. "I had these dreams in high school. It's a fire that is burning inside me and it's still burning. When you want something you can make it happen. That's how this whole experience has been. It has taken hard work but I have made it happen."
He said the way The King helped him in his darkest time is helping others going through similar situations.
"I saw this and it helped with my depression. I get a kick out of it," he said. "Just knowing I made a difference in somebody's life or one day or a multitude of days means the most out of anything."
