Q: Dynamic visibility layer markers in LeafletJS I am trying to render 5 sets of data on a map, one at a time, selectable by the user.
I'm using layers to store each set and I can switch between them - works well.
I want to be able to filter each set based on user input. I was using L.layerGroup but tried reformatting my data at load time to GeoJSON so I could use the built in filter feature. That only seems to work if I remove the layers and re-add each marker.
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/callum/5sunB/
For 1000 points, on my system it takes about 200ms which is too slow.
Is there a way to only show/hide the markers already in a layer based on a filter function?
Thanks.

A: Not really.  You can save your markers and then it's faster to just add them to the map than it is to re-create them and then add them.
For example,
var markers = new Array();
...
// create a marker using some unique id and save it to the markers array
var i = feature.properties.id;
markers[i] = L.circleMarker(latlng, {
        ....
        });
return markers[i];

Then when you filter (on click or other event), clear the marker layer and re-add the (saved) markers that match:
if (map.hasLayer(marker_layer)) {
    map.removeLayer(marker_layer);
}
marker_layer = new L.featureGroup();
// filter criteria here
for (var i = 0; i < src_data.features.length; i++) {
    var feature = src_data.features[i];
    if (feature.properties.hits >= n1 && feature.properties.hits <= n2) {
      marker_layer.addLayer(markers[i]);
    }
}
marker_layer.addTo(map);

I updated your JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/5sunB/5/ so you can compare re-creating the filtered markers vs just re-adding them.

BMW Vision M NEXT is BMW M brand's electrified future
Toyota Launches New Prius PHV in Japan
Toyota Motor Corporation has launched the new Prius PHV in Japan and sales will begin immediately across all dealerships in the country.
Toyota is producing the model at its Tsutsumi plant and is targeting sales of 2,500 units in Japan. Toyota said it expected to sell up to 60 000 worldwide a year, with more than half of the sales coming from Japan.
The Prius PHV has a range of 68.2 km (42.4 miles) according to Japanese standards. Due to a different methodology in measuring a car's electric mode range, the vehicle's' range is listed in the United States as about 40.2 km (25 miles).
The Prius PHV is powered by an inline four-cylinder 1.8-liter engine that produces 72 kW (98 PS) and maximum torque of 142 Nm. Dual electric motors then come into play, one producing 53 kW (72 PS) and the other generating 23 kW (31 PS). The Prius PHV has a maximum EV mode speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).
The Prius PHV features the world's first "solar charging system" in mass-produced cars. This system supplies energy from sunlight to the traction battery while the vehicle is parked, supplying the amount of electricity sufficient for driving the vehicle a maximum of around 6.1 km/day (approximately 2.9 km/day on average).
When the newly added EV Power Supply Mode has been selected, the vehicle's external electrical power supply function can supply household electricity without the engine being turned on. In addition, when the HV Power Supply Mode has been selected, the Prius PHV (with the engine running) can supply electricity for about two days at a maximum output level of 1,500W, when starting with a full tank of gasoline. The Prius PHV thus helps to support Toyota's disaster recovery support activities. For example, vehicles equipped with the external power supply function can be introduced into company fleets and loaned out following disasters.
With the new Prius PHV (Prius Prime in the US), Toyota has greatly advanced on the environmental performance that is characteristic of the Prius lineup, along with the powerful and smooth drive which is an attribute of an electric vehicle. Futuristic advanced equipment has been added and charging convenience greatly improved, thus evolving the new Prius PHV into a prime vehicle.
Toyota will also launch new Welcab versions (special features have been installed by Toyota) in April. A new model with a rotating and tilting front passenger seat makes it easier for a person requiring assistance to get in and out of the vehicle, thus easing the burden on the caregiver.
In January 2012, Toyota launched the Prius PHV with the goal of promoting vehicle electrification. To date, sales of the Prius PHV have totaled approximately 22,000 units in Japan, and approximately 75,000 units worldwide, including the US and Europe.
Toyota positions plug-in hybrids as the core vehicle segment in the company's Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050―where the goal is to achieve a society in which cars, people and the environment co-exist harmoniously – and plans to continue strengthening this product line.

What is the going cap rate for 10 year old or less mobil home parks in Texas?
While I am not an expert by no means on Mobile home parks in Texas, I have a pretty good handle on cap rates of multi-family properties and they more or less have the same fundamentals. Historically mobile home parks have higher cap rates than apartments. My guesstimate is the going cap rate would be somewhere in the 11% to 12% range. You should talk to a few local brokers and get their insights. You can do a search here on Loopnet to get an idea of who in your area is working these kinds of deals.

Brighton's Jayson Molumby joins West Bromwich Albion on season-long loan
By Robin Denny on	 August 27, 2021 Uk loans
Brighton midfielder Jayson Molumby has joined the Championship's top players West Bromwich Albion on a one-season loan, with a view to a permanent move on undisclosed terms.
The 22-year-old has struggled to find playing time at Albion since returning from his loan spell at Championship side Preston in the second half of last season, where he made 16 appearances and collected an assist .
So far this season, he hasn't played for Graham Potter's side with his two appearances for the U23s in their wins over Derby and West Ham in BPL 2 earlier this month.
He will now join Albion teammate Matt Clarke and join the Baggies who are so far undefeated in the championship and sit second in the standings, behind leaders Fulham on goal difference.
The Republic of Ireland international will also meet his compatriots Dara O'Shea and Callum Robinson at the Hawthorns.
Albion head coach Graham Potter said: "Jayson has done really well on his previous Championship loans with Preston North End and Millwall, and he's at the stage where he got that taste of senior football and wish to play regularly.
"It's a very good decision for him, West Brom have made a good start to the league season and are keen to return to the Premier League, and there is the possibility of playing regularly and potentially sealing a permanent transfer to the club.
"He's a great professional and he has great qualities.
"We will be following his progress and development this season, and we wish him the best of luck for the season ahead."

BIXBY, Maynard.
BIXBY, Maynard. (1853 - 1935)
(Born: Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 28 June 1853; Died: San Diego, California, U.S.A., 18 February 1935) American mineral dealer & collector.
Bixby was a professional "rockhound" in the truest meaning of that description. He collected minerals from the Tintic and other Utah mining districts. These specimens, which he sold from his Salt Lake City premises at 539 Atlas Block, now reside in many of the world's finest museums. The mineral species "Bixbyite," which he first discovered, is named in his honor.

I want to try that Heretic demo.
I'll patiently sit by and wait for you to deliver the assets to me, and then I'll plug them into UE4, create all of the Instance Static Mesh arrays and have some screenshots for you before the day is out.
My point (crudely made by me) is that using arrays to create large scenes is old news, and can be put together in Unreal (and has been like this for years) very quickly.
This is really good tool I use, and...it was free!
The basics of not loading similar models, but using arrays is a very very very cheap way of populating levels - but not making game graphics fall apart under the stress.
These guys are super-laser-focused on game development, and just use some pretty nifty mathematics to create node-based solvers to just 'fix' the problem(s) of huge levels, physics, instancing etc.
@Loobyluggs : I think you missed point of demo. It is not about developing large game worlds fast. It is about having large number of objects in large world on screen while having playable fps. In other words: "A lot of details."
None of the things you shown have that kind of details.
Um, cross purposes here as I really think I do and did understand what it is they are showcasing: instancing and arrays, which is what I referenced in the examples I pointed you to.
INSTG8R and Fox2232 like this.
Even if you may have got idea, things you shown are nowhere near in terms of complexity and density as demo in OP.
It wasn't to showcase an exact copy of it, but to serve my point; which it did.

I love how life takes you down paths, and connects you to people you would never expect to meet – but when you do, you are so glad to have them in your life. Before I had Jenna I worked in Cardiology at a few hospitals. I met such great and amazing people in healthcare, and funny enough, so many of my photography clients are people I knew from that. I was lucky enough to shoot Ashley and Chris's beautiful wedding in 2014 – and after meeting them I had secretly wished to be adopted by their amazing family. (Nothing against my own – they were just that much fun, I wanted to be added in there too!) So… when Ashley's cousin Kevin contacted me about shooting his wedding, I was SUPER excited to get to see their INCREDIBLE family again. They all truly make you feel like part of the family. When I met with Kevin, his beautiful bride to be Kaitlyn, and their adorable son Easton – I could not wait to get to their big day.
Kaitlyn and Kevin had a large bridal party, and I've worked with quite a few bridal parties in my day. I can confidently say that they were some of the most polite, kind, respectful people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They were ON TIME all day!!! That is almost unheard of in the wedding world, and I always roll with whatever happens, but it's just says something extra when a big group comes together like they did.
We had pretty much every kind of Michigan weather on the big wedding day. Cloudy, sunny, downpours of rain, warmer, cooler – you name it. The think I loved best was that everyone just happily said, the day will be great no matter what. And it truly was. We got ready at Kaitlyn's house, and just as we were about to leave for Greenmeade Historical Park, it started to pour. We just grabbed umbrella's and Kaitlyn's smile never ever went away. The groomsmen, were patiently waiting the rain out under an awning, and we did their photos despite the weather. We found a gorgeous evergreen tree that shielded the rain for their first look – and I think the rain adds just and extra element of awesome in the photos.
How gorgeous are these two?!?!

Aim To identify the factors that impact upon attendance at clinical mandatory training sessions.Method A quantitative approach was used, utilising a questionnaire sent to 400 randomly selected participants. A total of 122 responses were received, providing a mix of data that was statistically analysed, and open ended responses that were reviewed utilising a mini thematic analysis.Findings The study demonstrated that clinical staff hold mandatory training in high regard, and are fully aware of the value and need for such training. However, it was clear that a review of the current delivery format is required.Conclusion To ensure that patient safety is a priority, and that staff remain aware of current practice, the delivery of mandatory training needs to move away from classroom based sessions, and into the clinical area.

When it comes to pop music and football, the rules are pretty simple. The song must have an easy chorus to chant, and be easily adaptable lyrically for optimum praise of a club's player, or insult of the opposition.

Various investigations have focused on understanding the relationship between mucosal serotonin (5 HT) and colonic motility, however contradictory studies have questioned the importance of this intestinal transmitter. Here we described the fabrication and use of a fecal pellet electrochemical sensor that can be used to simultaneously detect the release of luminal 5 HT and colonic motility. Fecal pellet sensor devices were fabricated using carbon nanotube composite electrodes that were housed in 3D printed components in order to generate a device that had shape and size that mimicked a natural fecal pellet.

Hence, their integration into the capitalist system risks provoking that system TMs downfall, heralding the emergence of an Aesthetic State in which work itself will be modelled on disinterested creative activity and genuine emancipation will follow.

Metal loss due to corrosion is a serious threat to the integrity of pressurised oil and gas transmission pipes. Pipe metal loss defects are found in either single form or in groups (clusters). One of the critical situations arises when two or more defects are spaced close enough to act as a single lengthier defect with respect to the axial direction, causing pipe ruptures rather than leaks, and impacting on the pressure containing capacity of a pipe.

2022 Commonwealth Games: £778 million budget passed for Birmingham Games
Sports Agence France-Presse Jun 26, 2019 11:43:36 IST
London: The British government voted a budget of £778million ($990 million) for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Tuesday, double the amount contributed when the event was held in Glasgow five years ago.
Birmingham will host 2022 Commonwealth games after beating Manchester in the race. Reuters
The Games, in which 5,000 athletes from 71 nations compete in 19 sports between 27 July and 7 August, will be the biggest sporting and cultural event staged in the West Midlands.
Birmingham beat Liverpool in a truncated all-English race to host the event in December 2017 after original host Durban was stripped of the Games after running into financial problems.
Central government will provide three quarters of the funding (£594 million) with a further £184 million to be raised by Birmingham City Council.
The pot of public money will underwrite the city's preparations for the 11 days of sport and provide key funding for the Games' two main building projects: the redevelopment of Alexander Stadium and the construction of an aquatics centre.
"Having our budget confirmed is a key milestone for us and we can now look forward to delivering a fantastic Games for the people of Birmingham, the West Midlands and the country," Birmingham 2022's chief executive Ian Reid said in a statement.
The last time the Commonwealth Games were held in the UK, Glasgow was given £372 million of public funding for operational costs for 2014.
However, the Commonwealth Games Federation is keen to highlight that Birmingham 2022 should cost the British public £200 million less than Gold Coast 2018 cost Australians when operational and capital costs are considered.
Commonwealth Games Federation president Dame Louise Martin said: "We are pleased to have confirmation of the public investment in Birmingham 2022, which reinforces the Commonwealth Games' position as a cost-efficient multi-sport event focused on delivering numerous long-term benefits for the host city.
"An important element of the budget detail is the significant decrease in direct Games delivery costs compared to Gold Coast 2018."

PM Prayuth Receives Royal Endorsement, Promises 'Good Governance'
Gen. Prayuth thanking a portrait of HM the King after receiving his royal endorsement to become the country's next Prime Minister, 25 August 2014.
BANGKOK — Junta leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha has received a royal command from His Majesty the King officially endorsing him as Thailand's 29th Prime Minister.
Gen. Prayuth received the endorsement in front of a giant portrait of King Bhumipol in a ceremony at the Royal Thai Army headquarters this morning. The 86-year-old king was not present at the ceremony, which is usually held at the Government House, as he is currently residing at a hospital in Bangkok for "medical examinations."
The ceremony was attended by the president of the junta-appointed National Legislative Assembly (NLA), commanders-in-chief of the armed forces, leaders of the junta's National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), and other high-ranking officials.
The junta leader, who was selected as Prime Minister by the NLA on 21 August, said in a speech that he felt grateful for His Majesty the King's royal endorsement, which he said is the highest honour he and his family have ever received.
Gen. Prayuth also said he will strive to lead the country forward with widespread reforms of the country's political, economic, and social sectors.
"The reforms will promote good governance in the political system and administration of the country," Gen. Prayuth said.
He added, "Let me give a promise to the people that I will fully dedicate myself as I carry out my duties. I will be honest, transparent, and I will uphold the interest of the nation and the people as the priority … in order to restore happiness and peace to the people."
There was a slight confusion when Gen. Prayuth said he would form a Cabinet in "October," contrary to the NCPO's claim that the new government will be sworn in before the end of this month. A spokesperson of the military junta, Col. Winthai Suwaree, later explained that Gen. Prayuth's remark was an error.
"I have received confirmation from Gen. Prayuth that everything will be according to the schedule set by the NCPO, which is to submit the list of the Cabinet for His Majesty the King within September," Col. Winthai said.
After receiving the royal endorsement, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha now officially holds three titles: Prime Minister, chairman of the NCPO, and commander of the Royal Thai Army, although he is scheduled to retire from the latter in September.
Gen. Prayuth is the first individual to amass such concentrated and widespread power over Thailand's national administration since 1971, when Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn installed himself as Prime Minister, chairman of Revolutionary Council, and commander of the armed forces.
According to Gen. Prayuth, his interim government will administer the country for the next year, after which a general election is scheduled to be held in October 2015 if the political climate is deemed stable.

BEST SELLING FEMALE GOSPEL ARTIST OF ALL TIME
12 GRAMMYS
20 DOVE AWARDS
7 STELLAR AWARDS
BMI TRAILBLAZER
The best-selling and most-awarded female gospel artist of all time, CeCe Winans has long since cemented her status as one of the most accomplished and celebrated women in modern music history. It'd be easy to look back and rest on such illustrious laurels, but Winans has always had her eyes fixed firmly on the future, so it should come as little surprise that she jumped at the opportunity when her son, Alvin Love III, proposed she record the generation-bridging new album 'Let Them Fall In Love.' Her first in nearly a decade, the record finds Winans returning to the studio with gusto, working for roughly three years to craft her most confident, adventurous collection yet.
Recording and performing as both a solo artist and as a duo with her brother BeBe, CeCe has influenced a generation of gospel and secular vocalists over the course of her astonishing career. Her mantel today holds a staggering 12 GRAMMY Awards, 20 Dove Awards, and 7 Stellar Awards. She's been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Nashville Music City Walk of Fame, in addition to being named a Trailblazer of Soul by BMI and garnering multiple NAACP Image Awards, Soul Train Awards, Essence Awards, and more. She's sold in excess of 5 million albums in the US, topping the Gospel charts repeatedly while crossing over with smashes like "Count On Me," her stunning duet with Whitney Houston from the multi-platinum 'Waiting To Exhale' soundtrack, which sold 2 million copies and cracked the Top 10 on the Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts. She touched millions more with inspirational performances everywhere from Oprah to The White House, and even showed off her acting chops on television series like '7th Heaven' and 'Doc.'
12 GRAMMYS • 20 DOVE AWARDS • 7 STELLAR AWARDS
For CeCe, nothing on the planet compares to her love of family. As one of ten siblings, CeCe has always been part of large, musically-talented family. Her parents and siblings have released music under a wide variety of artist names including Mom and Pop Winans (CeCe's parents), The Winans (four of CeCe's Brothers), and BeBe & CeCe (a duet with her brother Benjamin). The musicality of her family remains today as she works closely with her family at Nashville Life Church. CeCe and her husband Alvin Love II serve as pastors, their son Alvin Love III serves as Executive Pastor, and their daugher Ashley serves on staff. When they aren't working together, gathering the family is still a priority and a passion for CeCe. Spending quality time and seeing her children grow strong and walk with the Lord is her greatest joy. She is enthusiastically anticipating the growth of her family as she is a grandmother-to-be.

Calling for policy reversal ... Federal Member for Murray Damian Drum, Victorian Shadow Water Minister Steph Ryan and Tatura dairy farmer Hamish Crawford. The Nationals say communities and farmers will be worse off under Federal Labor's policy to lift the cap on water buybacks.
The Victorian Government is against future water buybacks but will not sign a letter penned by the state's National Party to Bill Shorten asking for Federal Labor to reverse its position on the issue.
Despite the government's position, a spokesperson said the letter was a stunt.
''Our views on this issue are well known — we're opposed to further buybacks,'' the spokesperson said.
Tatura dairy farmer Hamish Crawford, who hosted Victorian Shadow Water Minister Steph Ryan and Federal Member for Murray Damian Drum last week, said if Federal Labor went ahead and lifted the cap on water buybacks it would reduce the amount of water available.
''It just takes water out of the pool,'' he said.
''When water is available there is less of it and of course the price goes up.
Ms Ryan said if Federal Labor did lift the cap, communities would be worse off rather than better.
''We think buying more water back from our communities is going to lead to further job losses, to more businesses closing, to more dairy farms shutting up shop,'' she said.
Ms Ryan also accused Premier Daniel Andrews of having ''double standards''.
''This is not without precedent,'' she said.
''Several weeks ago the premier put a letter to both Michael O'Brien (Victorian Liberal leader) and Peter Walsh (Victorian Nationals leader) around drought, which both Peter and Michael were happy to sign because they believed that more support was required from the Federal Government for drought and drought measures.
Federal Member for Murray Damian Drum echoed Ms Ryan's comments.
''This is the most destructive, most dangerous and the laziest of all water policies,'' he said.

Blinded comparison of an 'ultrasound stethoscope' and standard echocardiographic instrument

We evaluated blinded readings by a physician using a miniature real-time 'ultrasound stethoscope' compared with a 'standard' echo instrument used by an independent physician. Size of all four cardiac chambers, wall motion, all four valves, thickness of interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, and pericardial effusion were assessed in 66 patients. Each physician estimated whether he had answered the referring question and gave a final diagnosis. The physician using the ultrasound stethoscope correctly assessed chamber size in 87 percent of cases, segmental left ventricular wall motion in 71 percent of segments studied, and wall thickness in 88 percent of cases, and the diagnosis by the ultrasound stethoscope agreed with that made by the standard instrument in 68 percent of cases. The physician with the ultrasound stethoscope detected structural valvular problems (eg, stenosis) in 70 percent of cases but only detected flow abnormalities (eg, regurgitation) in 14 percent of cases. We conclude that (1) an experienced echocardiographer using an ultrasound stethoscope can detect most structural abnormalities found by a standard echocardiographic instrument; (2) chamber size, valvular stenosis, and pericardial effusions were accurately assessed; (3) the ultrasound stethoscope cannot be used to detect valvular regurgitation; and (4) limitations include the lack of freeze-frame, M-mode, hard copy, and Doppler.

Size of all four cardiac chambers, wall motion, all four valves, thickness of interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, and pericardial effusion were assessed in 66 patients. Each physician estimated whether he had answered the referring question and gave a final diagnosis. The physician using the ultrasound stethoscope correctly assessed chamber size in 87 percent of cases, segmental left ventricular wall motion in 71 percent of segments studied, and wall thickness in 88 percent of cases, and the diagnosis by the ultrasound stethoscope agreed with that made by the standard instrument in 68 percent of cases. The physician with the ultrasound stethoscope detected structural valvular problems (eg, stenosis) in 70 percent of cases but only detected flow abnormalities (eg, regurgitation) in 14 percent of cases. We conclude that (1) an experienced echocardiographer using an ultrasound stethoscope can detect most structural abnormalities found by a standard echocardiographic instrument; (2) chamber size, valvular stenosis, and pericardial effusions were accurately assessed; (3) the ultrasound stethoscope cannot be used to detect valvular regurgitation; and (4) limitations include the lack of freeze-frame, M-mode, hard copy, and Doppler.

STADIUM RETAIL 218 • SHOPPING CENTER BUSINESS • May 2018 T oday's stadium and arena devel- opment goes far beyond where the game itself is played. The resi- dential, retail and office districts that sur- round these sports venues encourage lo- cal residents and tourists alike to frequent the area all year round, not just on game day. And the benefits are easy to spot — increased traffic, reinvigorated retail mar- kets and a better return on investment. "What's happened across the coun- try is that the game is just part of the entertainment of the day or night," says Todd Sachse, founder and CEO of De- troit-based Sachse Construction. "Now it's about the entire experience of din- ing, entertainment and socializing. People want to live and be a part of it." The Motor City is a perfect example. The District Detroit, a 50-block mixed- use development undertaken by the Ilitch organization, is already being hailed as a success even though the project will take years to complete. Albert Ellis, a vice president with South- field, Michigan-based Farbman Group, says it's remarkable how local businesses are already benefiting from events at Little Caesars Arena — the centerpiece of The District Detroit — which opened in Sep- tember 2017. "Try to go to a restaurant or bar the night of an event and there is a half-hour to hour wait in a city that never needed reservations before," he says. Little Caesars Arena is now home to both the Detroit Red Wings and the De- troit Pistons. Also located downtown are Ford Field, the stomping grounds of the Detroit Lions, and Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. Detroit holds the dis- tinction of being the first city in the country to have all of its professional sports teams housed in one downtown core. An overarching goal of the District Detroit is to bring the downtown and midtown areas together as one walkable destination. In contrast, Joe Louis Are- na, the former home of the Red Wings that closed last year, was "effectively on an island" in Sachse's words. A stadium with limited retail and residential options forces it to be strictly a destination place. The same goes for The Palace of Au- burn Hills, the former home of the Pis- tons and a popular concert venue in De- troit's northern suburbs. Most industry experts speculate that the Palace site will be transformed into light industrial use. Sachse describes the Motor City as being in the first or second inning of the development phase. "We will measure success in Detroit by the decade, not by the months or years," he says. Detroiters who have moved into down- town or midtown over the past few years are what Sachse calls "early adopters." The plan is for others to follow suit. Last summer, Olympia Development, the driv- ing force behind The District Detroit, unveiled plans for the largest residential development initiative in Detroit in more than 20 years. Spread across six buildings, the initial phase will create 686 units, 139 of which will be designated affordable housing for those persons earning no more than 80 percent of the area median income. Only two of the buildings are new construction. The others involve the redevelopment of Retail And Dining Are Part Of A Winning Formula For Stadium Development Constructing a stadium within a surrounding mixed-use district benefits all players in the real estate game. Kristin Hiller The St. Louis Cardinals and The Cordish Companies have broken ground on the second phase of Ballpark Village. The $260 million phase includes an office tower, apartment building, hotel and retail pavilion.

"Reiwa" means "beautiful harmony".
2019年5月8日 水曜日
written by Masako Inkyo
Master calligrapher, Masako Inkyo, writes "Reiwa" in calligraphy, the name of the new era started on May 1st.
The new era started on May 1 when Crown Prince Naruhito ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne a day after the abdication of his father, Emperor Akihito, brought to an end the 31-year Heisei era.
The name, or "gengo", figures in daily life on coins, drivers' licenses and official paperwork, as well as in counting years, though many Japanese also use the Western calendar.
But Reiwa's meaning has generated confusion and controversy. The first character, "rei," is often used to mean "command" or "order," imparting an authoritarian nuance that offends some. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his government prefer "good" or "beautiful", a less widely known sense. The second character, "wa," is defined as "peace" or "harmony", and together they mean "beautiful harmony," Japan's consulate in New York said in a bid to dispel confusion. "It does not mean 'order and harmony' as has been reported in the press," the consulate said in a statement.

History of Kumanofude and Our Company
2018年9月21日 金曜日
The history of our company has a close relation with the history of Kumanofude-making (brush-making) in Kumano Town.
About 180 years ago (the end of the Edo-period), the young villagers, who were the pioneers of fude- making in Kumano Town, learned the skills from fude craftsmen in Kinki area in Japan. At the same time, Hiroshima clan encouraged selling fude as one of Hiroshima's crafts toward all over the country. Then both fude-making and selling toward the other area was established in Kumano Town.
Mr. Yasubei Shiromoto (great-great-grandfather of the current President) became a brush craftsman in 1868 (Meiji 2) and started fude-making in Kumano Town.
Mr. Shodai Joichi Shiromoto (Joichi Shiromoto I (First)) received the license from Hiroshima Prefecture as "Fude Yui (making and selling brushes)" first in Kumano Town in January 1881 (Meiji 14), and we, as a company named "Shiromoto Shouten," started brush manufacturing and selling, officially. Therefore, January 1881 is the official foundation year of our company.
Mr. Nidai Jouichi Shiromoto (Jouichi Shiromoto II (Second)) worked with the other manufacturers in Kumano Town to establish Kumanofude Cooperative (so called "Fude Kumiai") in order to achieve manufacturers' and craftsmen's technological improvement and joint buying of raw materials of Kumanofude in 1947 and appointed as First Chairman of Kumanofude Cooperative. He and his son, Mr. Katsushi Shiromoto (Second Chairman of Kumanofude Cooperative) had endeavored for development of Kumanofude.
We built a small Temple dedicated to the Kannon, who protects people in the town, on the premises of the company in appreciation of the ancestor and/or senior fude craftsman's achievement in 1869 (Meiji 3). Although Houto, stone lantern, remained with that time, the temple was rebuilt in 1964 (Showa 39).
We promise and respect tomorrow's prosperity of the town and the company.
What is good about Kumanofude?

The Line: Boston Bruins -164 / Anaheim Ducks +140 — Over/Under: 6 See the Latest Odds
TV: NESN, TVA
The Anaheim Ducks and the Boston Bruins meet in NHL action from the TD Garden on Thursday night.
The Anaheim Ducks come into this game looking to bounce back after a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers in their last outing. The game was a scoreless tie through the first period and through the first half of the 2nd period before Pontus Aberg got the Ducks on the board. However, that was all of the scoring that the Ducks would do as New York tied the game just before the midway point of the 3rd and took the lead in the final minute of the period before icing the win with an empty netter to send Anaheim back empty-handed. Chad Johnson took the loss, falling to 2-7-0 this season after allowing 2 goals on 23 shots in the losing effort.
Anaheim is 9-2 in their last 11 games overall and 6-1 in their last 7 road games while the under is 12-3-1 in their last 16 games against the Eastern Conference. Boston is 37-15 in their last 52 home games and 19-7 in their last 26 Thursday games while the under is 19-8-1 in their last 28 games overall. Anaheim is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings between these two teams and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams in Boston.

Home Daily News Cartoons Are the Left's New Weapon to Target Your Kids
Cartoons Are the Left's New Weapon to Target Your Kids
Douglas Blair
It's an open secret that the left dominates the media landscape. It's impossible to go a day without some actor in the Hollywood Hills tweeting how conservatives are ruining the country, or a journalist penning a story on why all we need is more government.
In the past, these attacks were mostly relegated to adults. The shows kids consumed were politically agnostic, more aimed at entertaining than moralizing. However, the days of fun, imaginative children's TV are over. Now shows must be sufficiently woke, and must condition children with the leftist philosophy du jour.
Take the once entertaining Cartoon Network. The channel was a quintessential part of my childhood. I can remember finishing school for the day and rushing to aftercare where the latest episode of "Pokémon" would air on Cartoon Network. It was nice, harmless fun for a kid growing up in the mid-90s.
Looking at Cartoon Network now, it's almost unrecognizable. One of the new flagship programs for the channel is "Steven Universe." The show follows Steven, a young boy who goes on adventures along with his magical, humanoid alien friends. "Steven Universe" has received praise from many LGBT organizations, and in the words of LGBT-focused magazine Them, is "the queerest cartoon on television."
Them continues:
[I]t may stand as the most progressive cartoon on TV in terms of queer representation. Steven, for example, is surrounded entirely by female superheroes, and often mirrors their feminine behavior. Even more, one of them is a fusion of two female characters who are in love, and another used to be in love with Steven's mom. The show has featured women in tuxedos, boys in dresses, and a non-binary person in whatever clothing they want, and all of it is celebrated.
Regardless of your opinions on LGBT issues, Cartoon Network is now a far cry from the network that aired apolitical content like "Pokémon." "Steven Universe" openly wears its woke messaging on its sleeve, teaching children that gender doesn't exist and that men can be women and women can be men.
In a tweet from Dec. 14, Cartoon Network posted a comic designed to teach children about gender pronouns, and how they must make sure to ask every person they meet what their pronouns are.
"We can't tell someone's gender just by looking at them, and we shouldn't assume we know," reads the comic. "There are many gender identities beyond 'girl' or 'boy.' Some people don't identify as any gender!"
But it doesn't stop there. Cartoon Network has dipped its toe into the woke cause of "anti-racism." In a TV ad from earlier this month, a character from "Steven Universe" attempts to reframe history by claiming Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, and that the credit should instead go to black inventor Lewis Howard Latimer. This is incorrect, as even CNN is willing to admit.
The ad continues with an "anti-racist" tirade, claiming all history is whitewashed and that systemic racism is inherent in the education system. The character grows more incensed, yelling, "Was this [history] modified to make white readers comfortable? Are major details being left out that would credit people of color and center their point of view?"
As of the publishing of this article, the ad is the pinned tweet on Cartoon Network's Twitter feed.
No one is claiming children's entertainment needs to be bland and meaningless. I learned many lessons from "Pokémon" growing up, from the importance of never giving up, to the hard realities of saying goodbye to someone you love. But Cartoon Network has moved past stories with important morals, choosing instead to produce actual leftist propaganda.
Parents need to be aware of what their children are watching. Because cartoons aren't just harmless fun anymore, they're weapons.

Music wherever you go! These sets of four bells have sturdy bands and easy closures so that anyone from three and a half years old and up can wear or carry the jingle on their wrist or ankle while walking, dancing, listening, or performing. Choose from two colors.


September's morning fog lay low in the fields, pushing up against ancient rock fences. My hiking sticks tapped on stones worn smooth from centuries of footsteps. Mist, floating free of the fog, rose, illuminated and golden, before disappearing into the light of the sun.
A few years ago, our same foursome (myself, my husband Kevin and our friends Yvonne and Bruce) completed a wonderful walk in England's Yorkshire Dales. It had been a journey replete with old inns, pub dining, and plenty of that Ye Olde Englande feel to things. Very importantly, it included the transfer of our luggage to each night's hotel. This left us free to carry a small daypack with rain gear and our lunch.
So, when we booked this walking trip in France, I thought it would be similar to that one, except, of course, we'd be trekking in the land that celebrates cuisine. What I'd failed to read was that we were doing more than just a hike.
It seemed we'd signed up for a pilgrimage.
I'd certainly heard about the UNESCO-designated Camino de Santiago. But I hadn't realized that there are literally dozens of pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela and that when we booked our trip in France, our walk would be on one of them. When I read the brochure again...yup...that's exactly what it said. How'd I miss that?
Still, no one was forcing us to call our seven-day-150-kilometre hike a pilgrimage. But when your first night's accommodation is in a converted abbey that holds 96 pilgrims in monastic cell-like rooms within the UNESCO-designated city of Conques, a village that has been a holy site since the 7th century...well...it sort of sets the tone.
That night we sat in the grandeur of an eleventh-century church listening to the haunting notes of the huge pipe organ above us. Behind me, I heard a woman quietly weeping.
Some walkers had large scallop shells on their packs, symbolic of a pilgrim. Most of them had started in La Puy-en-Velay, already covering the first 150 kilometres of The French Way of St. James. Many of them would be traveling for much longer, with only what they could carry on their backs.
At first, parachuting into the middle of the pilgrimage made me feel like a poseur but I soon realized no one knew was there to judge.
Halfway through that first day, the interior lining of my left boot began bunching in the arch of my foot. By the time I looked, the blister was already fat and growing. I slapped on some Moleskin but it was obvious I needed new boots. I left my old boots in the store and staggered out, stunned by the day's exertion in the unusual heat wave.
If suffering is part of a pilgrimage, it would seem we were being initiated quickly. A few days later Yvonne's toes started to blister, then Kevin and Bruce showed off their blackening toenails. Each day we passed around ibuprofen, Voltaren, sunscreen and Moleskin like party favours.
We learned that all of it was surmountable. Walking all day becomes its own meditation. Plus, it turns out that pain has a curious way of removing all other thoughts.
Each day we drizzled olive oil on baguettes, tucked into aromatic sausage, delectable cheeses, olives, fragrant tomatoes and nuts for our picnic lunches. Our feet carried us through history, as forests of chestnut, oak, Montpellier maple and boxwood gave way to fields of chateaus, churches, cows and sheep. We stumbled through tiny villages, incredible cathedrals, tiny roadside churches and another UNESCO-designated city, Figeac. Curious donkeys watched our progress. Dying sunflowers bowed their heads.
On our final day the trail briefly opened up near a highway. Looking down at the speeding trucks and cars, it struck me as ridiculous. Everyone was in such a hurry. It seemed wrong for bodies to be hurtling through space and time like that. When had we all decided that faster was better? This slowed down version of life seemed infinitely richer and deeper.
I turned my back on the highway and faced into the ancient landscape, trodding in the footsteps of all those seekers before me. And that is when I knew. This had been so much more than a walk.
I had been on a pilgrimage after all.

Alpha Guide: Franconia Ridge in Winter
|In New Hampshire, Upper-Right, White Mountains
|By Tim Peck and Doug Martland
Take on one of the Northeast's most stunning ridgelines while tagging two of New Hampshire's 10 tallest mountains.
A true classic, this winter hike crosses one of the White Mountains' most prominent features, Franconia Ridge; delivers moderate climbing that doesn't require the use of an ice axe; and features a roughly 1.5-mile above-treeline ridge run between Little Haystack and Mount Lafayette. With 360-degree views of the Whites from the ridge, it is one of the Northeast's most beautiful hikes. And, with a large section of above-treeline hiking, it's also one of the region's most exposed hikes, making it a fantastic winter test piece.
Distance: 9 miles round-trip
Time to Complete: 1 day
Difficulty: ★★★★
Scenery: ★★★★★
Season: Winter
Fees/Permits: None
Contact: https://www.nhstateparks.org/visit/state-parks/franconia-notch-state-park.aspx
Turn-By-Turn
Most hike Franconia Ridge as a loop, beginning and ending at the Falling Waters and Old Bridle Path trailhead and parking lot on Interstate 93N (44.142048, -71.681206) in Franconia Notch State Park.
Hikers driving north on I-93 will find the parking lot just after the exit for The Basin trailhead. Hikers coming from the other direction should park in the Lafayette Place Campground parking lot and use the tunnel that goes under I-93 to access the lot and trailhead. The trailhead is opposite the entrance to the parking lot, where it climbs a short, paved incline to an outhouse and then becomes dirt as it heads into the woods.
Hikers, take notice: This ultra-classic hike is super-popular on weekends and holidays. So, get there early to find a parking spot.

Time to split
Just 0.2 miles in, hikers will come to the junction (44.139702, -71.679512) of the Falling Waters Trail and the Old Bridle Path. The loop is best done counterclockwise, first up the Falling Waters Trail and then descending the Old Bridle Path. The Falling Waters Trail, which veers right at the junction, gets extremely icy in winter and is much easier to go up than down. Plus, the various waterfalls are more scenic on the approach, as well as more easily overcome with fresh legs early in the day.
Following Falling Waters
From the junction, the Falling Waters Trail heads southeast on a moderate track, until it reaches Dry Brook. From there, the trail intermittently steepens and poses some small technical challenges, as it crisscrosses the icy stream climbing under, around, and over a series of semi-frozen waterfalls. Between the water and ice, the footing along here is often slick, and you'll probably want your MICROspikes and a pair of trekking poles to negotiate the potentially treacherous terrain. Take care not to slip or plunge a foot into the brook.
Eventually, the trail leaves the brook and begins a series of long, gradual switchbacks up toward Shining Rock. As the trail moves away from the brook, the short, steep, and technical sections dissipate, and the terrain and grade become more consistent—especially once the snow on the ground is packed and covering the ordinarily rocky and rooty terrain.
Shining Rock
After 2.5 miles, the Falling Waters Trail reaches a junction with a short spur trail (44.140186, -71.650940) that heads downhill to Shining Rock, a large granite slab flanking Little Haystack Mountain and visible from Interstate 93. If you have time (remember, darkness comes early in the winter), consider the brief detour.
The Shining Rock junction is also a great place to refuel, add an extra layer and traction devices (if you haven't already), and get your above-treeline gear ready (such as a balaclava, warmer gloves, goggles, etc.). From the junction, continue upward on the Falling Waters Trail, which steepens and gradually becomes more exposed to the weather for the final 0.5-mile push to the 4,760-foot summit of Little Haystack.
Little Haystack
Shortly after departing the junction for Shining Rock, hikers will push past the treeline to the rocky and icy landscape of Little Haystack Mountain's summit (44.140362, -71.646080). Although Little Haystack isn't one of the 48 New Hampshire 4,000-footers (it's technically a subpeak of Mount Lincoln, the next stop on your journey), it is an awesome summit with fantastic views. Find the hard-to-miss summit cairn, and then, head north on the Franconia Ridge Trail toward Mount Lincoln.
Mount Lincoln
From Little Haystack, it's 0.7 miles to Mount Lincoln's summit. The path is easy to follow and, at first, quite moderate. Then, it begins to climb on rockier terrain and crests an ego-deflating false summit, all the while offering fantastic views in every direction and fully exposing you to the wind and weather.
Once you get to the summit of 5,089-foot Mount Lincoln (44.148682, -71.644707), the first of two New Hampshire 4,000-footers on the traverse, take a moment—or more, if the weather allows—to soak in the dramatic landscape and fantastic views. From here, you get views in all directions, with the Kinsmans, Lonesome Lake, and Cannon Cliff to the west and the Pemigewasset Wilderness to the east. To the south, the pyramid-like tops of Mount Liberty and Mount Flume dominate the view, while to the north lies your next objective, the summit of Mount Lafayette.
Mount Lafayette
Standing one mile away on the Franconia Ridge is the day's high point, the 5,260-foot summit of Mount Lafayette. To get there, you'll give up much of the elevation you've gained since Little Haystack by descending rocky, slabby terrain similar to what you just ascended. The saddle has a scrubby pine grove, which provides a brief respite from the weather on less-optimal days. Beware that snow can build up in the trees, making this section more difficult and take longer than you may have expected.
From the trees, the Franconia Ridge Trail makes a sharp ascent—the steepest section since the climb from Shining Rock to Little Haystack—to Mount Lafayette's summit. Relatively straightforward, the climb does contain a few slabby sections and rock outcroppings that warrant your full attention before you get to the summit.
The High Point
Lafayette's summit (44.160717, -71.644470) is well marked with both a large cairn and sign, and is quickly recognizable, as it's the region's highest point. If the weather is good, grab a seat in one of the summit's windbreaks—rock walls built to shield hikers from the elements—and soak up the views. The 4,500-foot Mount Garfield looms in the north, and on clear days, the Presidential Range is visible behind it. To the south, you can admire the distance you've traveled, as the peaks of Mount Lincoln and Little Haystack are both visible from this vantage point.
The windbreaks are also a great place to have a quick snack. And, don't de-layer just yet, as there is still some exposed trail left on the descent.
From Lafayette's summit, take the 1.1-mile Greenleaf Trail toward the Appalachian Mountain Club's Greenleaf Hut. This section is well defined, but the vast majority of it is above-treeline and is very exposed to the weather—in particular, winds blowing from the northwest.
With the hut visible most of the way, progress can feel sluggish. The slow-going is often exaggerated by the trail's rugged nature, made even more difficult by patches of snow and ice.
As you near the Greenleaf Hut, the trail dips into tree cover, the first real break in exposure you've had for nearly three miles. You're not out of the woods yet, though, as the area around the hut is often very icy.
Unlike during the summer, there is no hot chocolate, soup, or delicious baked goods in your future—unless you brought your own—as Greenleaf Hut (44.160206, -71.660316) is closed in the winter. However, the building itself provides a good windbreak and is a logical place to stop for a snack and to de-layer.
The Old Bridle Path
From the hut, take the Old Bridle Path for 2.7 miles to the Falling Waters trail junction, and then, enjoy the short walk back to the car. Below treeline, hikers may feel that the crux of the day is behind them, but the Old Bridle Path's upper third is challenging and, in places, exposed. Use care negotiating these ledges, slabs, and steep sections.
As you descend the ledges, take a moment to peer back up at the ridge. It's nice to enjoy the relative warmth of the sun found on these protected ledges while you peer up at the ridge and remember the bone-chilling cold experienced only a short time ago.
After the ledges, the Old Bridle Path begins to mellow, getting more forested with progressively easier switchbacks. From here, it's a straightforward, albeit longish, walk back to the junction and then to the car.
Trekking poles and traction devices, like Kahtoola MICROspikes, are essential for negotiating the icy terrain on the ascent and descent. And, although the wind often blows the snow off the ridge proper, it, too, can be quite icy.
Bring a vast array of winter accessories to contend with unpredictable, above-treeline winter conditions. A winter hat, balaclava, multiclava, and gloves of varying warmth are a good place to start. And, if there's wind in the forecast, goggles should also be included.
A warm down or synthetic parka, like the Outdoor Research Incandescent Hoody, is great for staying warm during rest breaks, cold traverses and descents, and emergencies.
Because it gets dark quickly in the winter and the Old Bridle Path descent is treacherous, add a headlamp, like the Black Diamond Spot, to your pack.
Snickers bars and gels are great in the summer but can freeze in the frigid temperatures. Nature Valley bars, trail mix, and leftover pizza—just to name a few—are all excellent winter food choices that won't freeze in your pack.
Have more questions about what gear to bring? Check out "What's in Our Winter Peak-Bagging Packs." Don't be that guy in jeans and a hoodie hiking across the ridge.
Keys to the Trip
Need a good reason for an alpine start? The parking lots fill up fast! In the summer, excess traffic even goes along the highway, but depending on the amount of snow the mountains have received, that might not be an option in winter.
Start cold, so you won't have to stop after 10 minutes to lose a layer. More importantly, if you're not over-layered, you're less likely to sweat through your garments and will stay warmer in the long run.
Bring a thermos of something hot to drink. It's great for warming up your core temperature and a nice morale booster when the going gets cold.
Know when to say when. If you get above treeline and decide that it's too windy or too cold, or you just have a bad feeling, don't hesitate to turn around before committing to the traverse.
Have a backup plan. If you live a few hours from the mountains, like many people do, it can be hard to know exactly what the weather will be doing until you get there. If the weather isn't cooperating for a traverse, Mount Liberty and Cannon Mountain are close by and are less committing than Franconia Ridge.
After a cold day in the mountains, warm up at One Love Brewery in Lincoln, New Hampshire. Their Meat Lover's Burger features grilled pork belly, BBQ pulled pork, jalapeño slaw, and Swiss cheese, and is a great way to replace some of the calories you burned!
