The Mythic World of Joseph Campbell Topic
The Function of Myth
In the Individual Life
Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god. And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world

From The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers
Bill Moyers: I came to understand from reading your books - The Masks of God or The Hero With A Thousand Faces, for example - that what human beings have in common is revealed in myths. Myths are the stories of our search through the ages for truth, for meaning, for significance. We all need to tell our story and to understand our story. We all need to understand death and to cope with death, and we all need help in our passages from birth to life and then to death. We need life to signify, to touch the eternal, to understand the mysterious, to find out who we are.
Joseph Campbell: People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That's what it's all finally about, and that's what these clues help us to find within ourselves.
Bill Moyers: Myths are clues?
Joseph Campbell: Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Bill Moyers: What we are capable of knowing and experiencing within?
Joseph Campbell: Yes.
Bill Moyers: You changed the definition of a myth from the search for meaning to the experience of meaning.
Joseph Campbell: Experience of life. The mind has to do with meaning. What's the meaning of a flower. There's the Zen story about a sermon of the Buddha in which he simply lifeted a flower. There was only one man who gave him a sign with his eyes that he understood what was said. Now, the Buddha himself is called "the one thus come". There's no meaning. What's the meaning of the universe? What's the meaning of a flea? It's just there. We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it's all about. Bill Moyers: How do you get that experience?
Joseph Campbell: Read the myths. They teach you that you can turn inward, and you begin to get the message of the symbols. Read other people's myths, not those of your own religion, because you tend to interpret your own religion in terms of facts - but if you read the other ones, you begin to get the message. Myth helps you to put your mind in touch with this experience of being alive. It tells you what it is. It's the reunion of the separated duad {A unit of two objects; a pair}. Orginally you were one. You are now two in the world {duality}, but the recognition of the spiritual identity is what marriage is. It's different from a love affair. It has nothing to do with that. It is another mythological plane of experience. When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity. If we live a proper life, if our minds are on the right qualities in regarding the person of the opposite sex, we will find our proper male or female counterpart. But if we are distracted by certain sensuous interests we marry the wrong person. By marrying the right person, we reconstruct the image of the incarnate God, and that's what marriage is {physically and spiritually} .
Bill Moyers: You taught mythology for thirty-eight years at Sarah Lawrence. How did you get these young women, coming to college from their middle-class backgrounds, from their orthodoxed religions - how did you get interested in myths?
Joseph Campbell: Young people just grab this stuff. Mythology teaches you what's behind the literature and the arts, it teaches you about your own life. It's a great, exciting, life-nourishing subject. Mythology has a great deal to do with the stages of life, the initiation ceremonies as you move from childhood to adult responsibilities, from the unmarried state into the married state. All of those rituals are mythological rites. They have to do with your recognition of the new role that you're in, the process of throwing off the old one and coming out in the new, and entering into a responsible profession.
When a judge walks into a room, and everybody stands up, you're not standing up to that guy, you're standing up to the robe that he's wearing and the role he's going to play. What makes him worthy of that role is his integrity, as a representative of the principles of that role, and not some group of principles of his own. So what you're standing up to is a mythological character. I image some kings and queens are the most stupid, absurd, banal people you could run into, probably interested only in horses and women, you know. But you are not responding to them as personalities, you're responding to them in their mythological roles. When someone becomes a judge, or the President of the United States, the man is no longer that man, he's the representative of an eternal office; he has to sacrifice his personal desires and even life possibilities to the role that he now signifies.
Bill Moyers: You've seen what happens when primitive societies are unsettled by white man's civilization. They go to pieces, they disintegrate, they become diseased. Hasn't the same thing been happening to us since myths began to disappear?
Joseph Campbell: Absolutely, it has.
Bill Moyers: Isn't that why conservative religions today are calling for the old-time religion?
Joseph Campbell: Yes, and they're making a terrible mistake. They are going back to something that is vestigial {something that has passed}, that doesn't serve life.
Bill Moyers: But didn't it serve us?
Joseph Campbell: Sure it did.
Bill Moyers: I understand the yearning. In my youth I had fixed stars. They comforted me with their permanence. They gave me a known horizon. And they told me there was loving, kind, and just father out there looking down on me, ready to receive me, thinking of my concerns all the time. Now, Saul Bellow says that science has made a housecleaning of beliefs. But there was value in these things for me. I am today what I am because of those beliefs. I wonder what happens to children who don't have those fixed stars, that known horizon - those myths?
Joseph Campbell: Well, as I said, all you have to do is read the newspapers. It's a mess. On this immediate level of life and structure, myths offer life models. But the models have to be approperiate to the time in which you are living, and our time has changed so fast that what was proper fifty years ago is not proper today. The virtues of the past are the vices of today. And many of what were thought to be the vices of the past are the necessities of today. The moral order has to catch up with the moral necessities of actual life in time, here and now. And that is what we are not doing. The old-time religion belongs to another age, another people, another set of human values, another universe. By going back you throw yourself out oy sync with history. Our kids lose their faith in the religions that were taught to them, and they go inside.
Bill Moyers: Don't you think Americans have rejected the ancient idea of nature a a divinity because it would have kept us from achieving dominance over nature? How can you cut down a tree and uproot the land and turn the rivers into real estate without killing God?
Joseph Campbell: Yes, but that's not simply a characteristic of modern Americans, that is the biblical condemnation of nature which they inherited from their own religion, and brought with them, mainly from England. God is separate from nature , and nature is condemned of God. It's right there in Genesis: we {man}are to be the masters of the world.
But if you think of ourselves coming out of the earth, rather than having been thrown in here from somewhere else, you see that we are the earth, we are the consciousness of the earth. These are the eyes of the earth. And this is the voice of the earth.
Bill Moyers: Scientists are beginning to talk quite openly about the Gaia principle.
Joseph Campbell: There you are, the whole planet as an organism.
Bill Moyers: Mother Earth. Will new myths come from this image?
Joseph Campbell: Well, something might. You can't predict what a myth is going to be any more than you can predict what you're going to dream tonight. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from the realizations of some kind that have then to find expression in symbolic form. And the only myth that is going to be worth thinking about in the immediate future is one that is talking about the planet, not the city, not these people, but the planet, and everybody on it.
And what it will have to deal with will be exactly what all myths have dealth with - the maturation of the individual, from dependency through adulthood, through maturity, and then to the exit; and then how to relate to this society and how to relate this society to the world of nature and the cosmos. That's what the myths have all talked about, and what this one's got to talk about. But the society that it's got to talk about is the society of the planet. And until that gets going, you don't have anything.
Bill Moyers: So you suggest that from this begins the new myth of our time?
Joseph Campbell: Yes, this is the ground of what the myth is to be. It's already here: the eye of reason, not one of nationality; the eye of reason, not of my religious community; the eye of reason, not of my linguistic community. Do you see? And this would be the philosophy for the planet, not for this group, that group, or the other group.
When you see the earth from the moon, you don't see any divisions there of nations or states. This might be the symbol, really, for the new mythology to come. That is the country that we are going to be celebrating. And those are the people that we ar one with.
Bill Moyers: No one embodies that ethic to me more clearly in the works you have collected than Chief Settle.
Joseph Campbell: Chief Seattle was one of the last spokesmen of the Paleolithic moral order. In about 1852, the Untid States Government inquired about buying the tribal lands for the arriving people of the United States, and Chief Seattle wrote a marvelous letter in reply. His letter expresses the moral, really, of our whole discussion.
"The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
"Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.
"We know the sap which courses through the trees as we know the blood that courses through our veins. We are a part of the earth and it is a part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky creast, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man, all belong to the same family.
"The shining waters that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.
"The rivers are our brothers. They quinch our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.
"If we sell our land, remember the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sight. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers.
"Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.
"This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
"One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap comtempt on its creator.
"Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is it to say goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.
"When the last Red Man has vanished with his wilderness and his memory is only a shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people left?
"We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you received it. Preserve the land for all children and love it, as God loves us all.
"As we are a part of the land, you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us. It is also precious to you. One thing we know: there is only one God. No man, be he Red Man or White Man, can be apart. We are brothers after all."

Deep within Edo Castle was the oh-oku (the inner palace)-the expansive living quarters for the wives and concubines of the Tokugawa Shogun. The entrance was under the tightest security, and the corridors were barred to all men except the Shogun himself. It is said that over 1,000 women lived in the oh-oku to serve the Shogun. For him, life in the oh-oku was like living in paradise.
Oh-oku is the story of the picturesque lives of the women living in the hidden, maze-like inner structure of Edo Castle. Inside, the women wielded their beauty and knowledge: some of them to win the Shogun's love, to obtain political power, or to climb the ladder of the oh-oku hierarchy. Their lives were filled with romance, hatred, anger, envy, tears, and persecution.
The first Oh-oku series aired from June to August 2003, and focused on the last several years of the oh-oku history. It told the story of the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the oh-oku, and the lives of the women who lived through these times.
The second series, Oh-oku - Episode One- aired from October 2004, focused on the birth of the inner palace. The 2nd Shogun Hidetada's wife Oeyo established the oh-oku. It was then enhanced and perfected by Kasuga-no-Tsubone, the nanny of the 3rd Shogun Iemitsu-also known as one of the most influential and powerful women in the oh-oku, and the main character of this drama. The story takes place in the Sengoku Era, also called the Warring States Period.
The third Oh-oku series takes place during the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi's era. Oh-oku is completely controlled by the Shogun's mother, Keishoin. Giving birth to the Shogun's two children, Tokumatsu and Tsuruhime, Oden-no-kata is Keishoin's favorite concubine. Tsunayoshi's official wife, Nobuko - who came from the famous Takatsukasa Family in Kyoto - has no children yet. Coming from a very noble family, Nobuko always stands against Keishoin and Oden-no-kata, both who come from average households.
More than anything, Shogun Tsunayoshi loves to study. Since a very early age, Keishoin valued studies rather than martial arts and provided her son with plenty of education. Especially passionate about Confucianism, Tsunayoshi was eager to follow the �gfilial duties" (duties of a child to his parent) written in �gThe Analects of Confucius". That is why he devoted himself to his mother, and is at her beck and call.
The OST for tis part of ooku, is nice esp the opening music which really make me WOW, its a fusion of western and chinese instruments and its really a good fusion..
After watching Ooku 1 and 2, this seems overly repetitive. Noriko very evil in here. Uchiyama Rina's acting has improved immensely in here. Would like to see her acting outside of Ooku 3...because it really is getting to be the same thing over and over again. Not much plot.
Pretty well chosen cast of stars. I tried to really follow it well, though its part of a long series of such historical topic. Seeing my beloved Uchiyama being the main focus has made my day, plus Kitamura kazuki is the man here, hands down!!
At first I thought it was the most boring thing I've ever seen, but after 2 episodes it got better. Lots of bitching and plots. Finally something with Rina as the main character.
Not to be confused with the brilliant 1994 drama Hana no Ran, which remains one of the very best historical series ever produced.
The first few episodes were alternately corny and alarming but the drama settled down into pretty reliable jidaigeki.
These Ooku series are always enjoyable..this one is no different!
Serious dorama.......lots of twist and plots.......bravo!
Partially watched...not my type of drama.
iz that based on true story???

We Need To Talk About Micheál
September 11, 2020 January 20, 2021 by dsmooney, posted in Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Leo Varadkar, Micheal Martin, Politics, Tanaiste, Taoiseach
This opinion piece appeared on Broadsheet.ie on Sept 7th and continues a set of themes I have addressed in previous op-eds, namely (i) the problems of a rotating Taoiseach, (ii) the paucity of government's communications and messaging and (iii) the lack of identity and vision dogging a Fianna Fáil led by Micheál Martin
Tánaiste and Taoiseach at Convention Centre…. or joint Taoisigh?
"The office makes the man" is a phrase heard many times before Bertie Ahern and Enda Kenny became Taoiseach. It stems from the notion that you cannot properly envision someone as a Taoiseach (or Prime Minister or President) until they assume the office, as the trappings of office and the authority that come with role help increase their stature.
Afterall, very few people, apart from Gregory Peck, Martin Sheen or Oprah Winfrey, can truly act and sound presidential without being it.
Before he become Taoiseach, Enda Kenny was portrayed as too gauche and too hail fellow well met to be a commanding Taoiseach. While the personal traits that make him a likeable and approachable politician stayed with him as Taoiseach the added sense of authority that goes with the office lifted him up. His Dáil performances improved. Helped by a combination of simply sitting in the prime seat, to the right of the Ceann Comhairle, plus having a strong team of speechwriters, from both the civil service and the political world.
The same applied to Bertie Ahern. Prior to him becoming Taoiseach there had been a barely one-dimensional portrayal of him as an anorak wearing north-sider who would much prefer to be watching the Dubs play in Parnell Park than attending an EU Summit. His capacity to use the English language like a Rubik's Cube didn't exactly help in persuading critics otherwise.
In reality, Bertie was an intelligent and astute politician who possessed an incisive strategic mind. He saw the importance of maintaining visibility in, and a strong personal connection with, your home place. As with Enda, Bertie got the balance right. He ensured that the trappings of office, the extra staff, flunkies, car, were deployed to increase his authority while skilfully avoiding the pitfall of becoming remote.
Bertie became more styled. His wardrobe expanded and improved. Out went the anorak and the ill-fitting jackets, and in came some well-cut and pressed suits, plus a sharp pair of canary yellow trousers for those walks on the beach with the leaders of the G8.
So, is Micheál Martin set to be the Taoiseach that proves the rule wrong?
I fear he is, but this has less to do with Martin's political skillset than it has with how the arrangement agreed with his immediate predecessor and ordained successor, Leo Varadkar, has diminished the role.
This is something I warned about in the months before this government was formed. It is one of the many reasons why I trenchantly opposed the Programme for Government and am now an ex Fianna Fáil member.
Agreeing to a rotating Taoiseach while also agreeing to having a beefed up office of Tánaiste, now with an added extra Aide de Camp, plus allowing Fine Gael to hold the post of Finance Minister, condemned this arrangement to being a Fine Gael led government in all but name. It also considerably diminished the authority and effectiveness of any non-Fine Gaeler who went first in the rotating Taoiseach arrangement.
Martin and his team of advisers saw all of this, but still decided not only to consent to weakening the office of Taoiseach, they also insisted on going first. This raises questions about their political judgement and their capacity to distinguish between advancing personal and political ambitions.
But here's the rub, while Martin entered an office whose authority he had diminished, he couldn't reduce the level of scrutiny and focus that falls on the one at the top. The office does make the man, but it also throws a massive spotlight on the weaknesses and frailties of the office holder.
The flaws and failings that were not so evident when Micheál Martin was opposition leader, not only became apparent upon taking up office, they were magnified.
I do not think that Martin is the compulsive ditherer, incapable of making up his mind or sticking with a plan, as some portray him. The issue, I fear, is with Martin's constant need to tell us how much he knows. As I said here a few weeks back:
"…in any given interview, be it on radio or television, Martin is more likely to remind us that he used to be the Minister for Education, Enterprise, Health or Foreign Affairs than he is to set out a clear vision of what he wants to achieve in government."
It's as if there is some inner insecurity, a fear of being found out, which must be masked by appearing knowledgeable and spewing out an array of facts and figures. But appearing strong and in complete control is no substitute for being both and Martin has, to his own detriment, agreed to a model that impedes his ability to do either.
Martin is having all the downsides of being Taoiseach without any of the upsides. This cannot end well – but paradoxically an end is all that is in store for him.
Over the last few weeks Fine Gael sources have been busily regaling folks with a story arising from the reported August 18 clash between Martin and Varadkar. According to the Fine Gael Oireachtas members who relayed the tale to me, the Tánaiste was bitterly complaining to cabinet colleagues about how only the Taoiseach's advisers seemed to know what was going on and they were not telling anyone. "Welcome to our world", a Fianna Fáil minister disdainfully responded.
I have no idea if the story is true. The people who told it to me could not know either as they weren't there – but, that isn't the point. The story may be 100% apocryphal, indeed it probably is, but a lot of people now believe the story is true and there lies the damage.
If acting strong is more important to the Taoiseach than being strong, then it works the other way around too. A few weeks ago I was on a work Zoom call with colleagues, including a former British Labour MP. Just before the call ended the former MP, who has a strong interest in Irish politics, asked me how Ireland's experiment with operating a joint premiership was going.
They weren't being facetious. I found myself trying to defend the arrangement, citing the inconclusive election result, to which the former MP said, well I can only tell you what it looks like from where I am, and it looks like a joint premiership with Martin bringing up the rear.
Out of the mouths of babes and labour MPs comes such truths.
Here are a few more truths. Varadkar will not bring this government down. Neither will the Greens – though this may come as news to them. The Greens may walk away as a group, or in dribs and drabs, but either way they are replaceable.
Though Varadkar may find the current set-up frustrating (á la the story above), it is still a set-up primarily designed to suit him. Time is Varadkar's friend. He'll be Taoiseach again in two years, if he just bides his time.
Varadkar has the complete measure of Martin and, for as long as Fianna Fáil present Martin as its only alternative to Varadkar as Taoiseach, Fine Gael hasn't a thing to worry about.
That could all change dramatically if, and when, Fianna Fáil TDs wake up and recognise that they need to offer a clear alternative to Martin if they are to survive, individually or collectively.
It is yet another reason why time is not Martin's friend. His clock has been ticking down and has been since June 27th. He is a lame duck and across his government people are standing by with the hoi sin, pancakes and shredded spring onion.
Martin's highest point was the moment the Dáil voted him in as Taoiseach. It was always going to be downhill from that moment, but even I never thought the descent would be conducted at as brisk a pace as this.

Well written Derek. As I said to, good analysis such as this has only made me regret not leaving sooner. Its obvious that SF have taken most of FF's working class votes and FG have most of the middle class. This leaves FF without a base of any critical mass. The core vote standing at 10/11% is shocking. What do you think of his shared Island announcement? The jettisoning of another principle without consultation? Hope you're well. Liam

I think this is such a star ingredient for many Thai recipes, that it deserves it's own entry. Fried, crunchy belly pork, or as we call it, 3 layer pork. The skin is crispy, the fat is cooked down, and the meat still juicy. We use it fried with Kannah, Brocolli, or other leafy greens. Although it's fried, and fatty pork, if you think of it as a flavour, and use it sparingly as the meat part of vegetable dishes, it does not need to be fattening.
The frying process can be quite dramatic, so I've made a video below.
1. You'll need a deep frying pan with a heavy lid to make this.
2. Bring water to the boil, and boil the pork. The pork needs to be submerged in the boiling water and cooked for 25 minutes.
3. Take it out, prick the skin side carefully with forks. The more holes the better, make sure you prick right through the skin and deep into the fatty layer.
4. Pour white vinegar over the skin side, into the holes. Give it 10 minutes like that to give the vinegar a chance to bite.
5. Dry it with kitchen paper. If you want skin more like Puffed Pork Rind, then you can take off the skin and leave it for days to dry in the sun, but for crunchy pork, it's enough just to pat it dry.
6. Heat the oil, medium hot in the large pan.
7. When you fry it, the water in the pork will cause bangs and cracks. This is normal, but it can spit hot oil everywhere, so be careful. When you want to check the progress of the pork, better to turn off the heat first.
8. Tip: when lifting the lid, if you tilt it, the water condensed on the lid will slide into the oil, creating spitting oil. It's better to lift the lid completely off, rather than let that water drop back into the oil.
9. Frying takes 10-20 minutes, over a medium heat. It needs time to brown the fat too, not just the skin.
9. Drain it, leave it to cool, chop it finely and it's ready to eat.

Matt Adams relishes a chance to help Nationals
Matt Adams
Dave Martinez
The Nationals

By David Driver — Special to The Washington Times - - Thursday, February 22, 2018
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Matt Adams, wearing his No. 15 white jersey with red letters, lay on the grass in short left field at a practice field here Thursday morning at the Washington Nationals spring training complex.
The strapping 6-foot-3, 245-pound slugger did a series of leg stretching exercises along with about 25 of his teammates as a nearby jukebox blasted "For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)" from the 1960s.
The sound that is music to the ears these days for new Nationals manager Dave Martinez is that of the baseball coming off the bat of Adams, 29, who is also in his first season with Washington.
"He looks really, really good. Watching him take batting practice and the ball coming off his bat, it is impressive," Martinez said of Adams. "Right now he is just at first base. We will get him in the outfield a little bit later on in camp."
Before they joined the Nationals this offseason, Adams and Martinez were bitter rivals in the National League Central.
And both were able to accomplish with their previous clubs something that has eluded Washington — postseason success and ultimately a World Series appearance.
Adams made his big league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012 and was with the team until he was traded to the Atlanta Braves during last season. He was with the club in 2013 when the Cardinals lost to the Boston Red Sox in the World Series.
"He is definitely a competitor and wants to win and he will do whatever it takes to win," Martinez said of Adams.
Martinez was a bench coach for manager Joe Maddon when the Chicago Cubs, the long-time St. Louis nemesis, won the Fall Classic in 2016.
Now Adams will try to get his first ring while playing for Martinez, who took over for Dusty Baker. The Nationals have never won a postseason series, losing in the first round four times under three managers since 2012.
But that didn't stop Adams from signing with the Nationals in December. He had very few connections to the club outside of new pitching coach Derek Lilliquist, who held the same position with the Cardinals for nearly six years.
"I am thankful for this opportunity and being part of this team and being able to go deep into the playoffs, for sure," said Adams, standing by his locker this week at the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
Having a chance to contend for a title played a big role in his decision.
"It is huge. Everyone's goal is to make it to the World Series and bring that championship home," said Adams, who fell just short of that in St. Louis. "The guys who are here on this team and the leaders we have is special. I am glad to be a part of it."
Adams is one of the few products of a Division II college who is active in the majors.
He played three years at Slippery Rock, north of Pittsburgh, part of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. He played for coach Jeffrey Messer, who has held the post for 33 years.
"He was a special, dominant hitter the first day he stepped on campus," according to Messer. "He was primarily a catcher and DH his first year and a catcher/first baseman his sophomore and junior years. I definitely think Matt could be a backup catcher in the (majors) if needed. He was a solid catcher in college and numerous teams looked at him as a potential catching prospect."
Adams had the same head coach in college but will now play for his third manager in a calendar year with Martinez.
Former St. Louis teammate Jon Jay, who played for the Cubs last season, told Adams he'll enjoy playing for Martinez.
"I have talked to John Jay and other guys who have been around him and they have great things to say," Adams said. "I feel like he is a lot like Joe. He is smart about how he puts the lineup together. It seems like it is going to be a fun year, for sure."
"Everyone's goal is to make it to the World Series and win it," Adams added. "A group of 30 guys that have the same goal goes a long way."
Last season Adams hit .291 with one homer in 31 games for the Cardinals. After he was traded to the Braves he hit .271 with 19 homers in 100 games for Atlanta.
Adams will be the backup first baseman to starter Ryan Zimmerman and could see some time in left field. He takes over Adam Lind's role, who hit .303 with 14 homers last season for the Nationals but was not re-signed.
After the 2016 season, Adams met with a fitness expert he had met while playing with the Cardinals. He's since lost about 30 pounds and about eight percent body fat. "A testament to how hard he worked," Martinez said.

Willow, I will agree to disagree. You have a right to your own beliefs and I respect your honesty about your feelings. The post from #107597 does not merit a response. It clearly speaks for itself.
PS: I see #107597 edited the post. It's now not as bad as the original.
Well instead of everyone bashing Anya I think we should thank her .... for taking down that nasty transvestite photo!
I don't know why people are accusing anybody of diagnosing anything. Nobody here has done that. This thread was started by a poster asking questions who gave no information about themselves. The poster was asked for more information so people here would know what kind of advice to give. The original poster never answered the questions and this thread turned out to be quite amusing and lifted the spirits of many of us, until of course people started coming here and accusing Mouseclick of diagnosing. I wish you would show me where in this thread he has diagnosed anybody!
No body here diagnosed Lauray with an ED either, she did that herself in her posts. You've said you read them so you know that.
"if it is dangerously stupid that could cause a newbie to seriously be injured or killed, it's a damned good candidate for deletion. (These would include things like "brushing my teeth with Clorox really makes them white!") In the meantime, we'd post a counter with medical reasons why it is not good IMMEDIATELY!"
Steve acted according to the Support Forum Rules in regards to Laurays posts. Well, to be accurate he didn't, instead of deleting them he moved them to another forum out of consideration for Lauray. Maybe he should have just deleted them according to the Support Forum Rules , but I'm sure you would have objected to that also. I find it amusing that you would come here to attack him for doing what is posted in the rules.
A moderator is supposed to use his or her own judgement on things, and in the case of Lauray several here thought what she was doing was dangerous, and told the moderator what we thought. In this case he acted on what the majority of the forum thought. He did what the majority thought was best for the forum.
"Mouseclick... should we transfer your posts to the AA Forum because you indicated that you had had 'a drink or 3' when you posted your comment?"
Are you in all good conscious telling me that you think Mouseclick's having "a drink or 3" said jokingly compares to the erratic behavior that Laurays posts displayed? Come on get real.
I totally agree with your posts Willow.
However, one particular poster (not you) has transformed this into a debate and this thread should therefore be transferred into the Fasting Debate forum, but then I would be criticized for doing so.
In addition, although Laurays posts were transferred to the AB forum, it was I who transferred another of her post/threads into the Fasting Debate forum, as that was the end result of her post.
Despite the criticisms of Steve, I do fully agree with his actions and the reasons for those actions in "playing safe" with the health of certain posters looking for support with their perceived disorder.
I wonder if the psychologist/psychiatrist who posted in this thread knows of the unsuccessful track record of their profession and where many of these qualified personnel freely admit to not being able to help or cure any of their patients.
Psychiatry has a dismal track-record of cure in their patients, so who is she to comment on the altruistic endeavours of those who have been successful, and the desire to pass on that information to others?
Thank you Chris and yes the mind boggles! I was wondering why the said psychologist/psychiatrist felt the need to post here anyway. I find it odd that she has blocked her posts so that no one can read her posting history, that to me is strange especially in light of her said profession.
"However, one particular poster (not you) has transformed this into a debate and this thread should therefore be transferred into the Fasting Debate forum, but then I would be criticized for doing so."
I agree it is now a debate, it didn't start out with anyone giving any medical advice, the way I see it, the whole thing is uncalled for. I just don't understand some people.
"Despite the criticisms of Steve, I do fully agree with his actions and the reasons for those actions in "playing safe" with the health of certain posters looking for support with their perceived disorder."
I agree 100% with that statement and no matter how many debates people want to start regarding this matter, my mind is set.
"I find it odd that she has blocked her posts so that no one can read her posting history, that to me is strange especially in light of her said profession."
Ask the Webmaster why you can't pull up my posting history... because I would like to be able pull it up too! I'd ask him myself... but he hasn't responded to the personal email that I sent him last week.
For the time being... you can find me at my forum... although I also post on other forums and it would be incredibly helpful to me if I too was able to locate all my past posts... given that I also don't get email alerts!

Had you carefully read my post... you would have known that I am a psychologist. I also specialize in health psychology... have done extensive independent study and certification training in various natural and holistic healing modalities... have also worked as a colon hydrotherapist, detoxification specialist, nutritional consultant, energy worker and teacher of meditation and qigong. The clients I have worked with would disagree with your opinion that they were not helped... although I don't cure anybody! That ability for a cure comes from within the client... and all I can do is assist them in facilitating the healing process. Nothing more. Unlike your stereotypical assumption of those with advanced education who are in the healing professions.... my approach is TRULY holistic... encompassing the body-mind-spirit human being and recognizing them as part of the larger social system.
And to really blow your mind... I don't even believe there is such a thing as 'mental illness'! The symptoms that people are manifesting and thought of as 'mental illness' are the result of physiologic, metabolic, hormonal and brain dysfunctions... related to stress... that are rooted in energetic imbalances and often spiritual crises. Psychiatry is one of the biggest and most dangerous scams in the allopathic 'health care' system! I don't even diagnose unless a client wants my services covered by insurance... and only then because that's what health insurance requires. I have a full understanding of what the stigma of having a 'mental illness' does to a person in all aspects of their lives... and I make it a point to discuss this with my clients... leaving the choice of having a diagnosis up to them. I am adamantly opposed to forced or coercive 'mental health' treatment of any sort as I have seen first hand the damage it does. If people voluntarily seek out my services... I provide them with the utmost respect and understanding that the answers they are seeking already lie within them.
Don't try to put me in a box... you'll never find one that fits!
To answer a question... the reason for my posting on this forum was because of seeing that Lauray's post had been moved to the A/B Forum. I won't be posting here again.
LOL you shouldn't even bother going into great depths of your education and background. They just belittle it and call you self righteous and arrogant for questioning their WF Leaders and voicing your educated response. Its even funny that they belittle the Alternative Medication and this is cure zone ( My fave is when they put it in quotations lol).. because what its not WF? Sorry people but WF isn't the end all be all. I have yet to see anyone on here who has a real success story.. except maybe what Steve? And well that was weightloss again no rocket Science in not eating and losing weight.
But you're take on treating your clients is exactly how I treat mine, so its nice to know, and I do believe that recovering in most cases does come from within the client, especially in holistic measures. Intention goes a long way.
"The symptoms that people are manifesting and thought of as 'mental illness' are the result of physiologic, metabolic, hormonal and brain dysfunctions... related to stress... that are rooted in energetic imbalances and often spiritual crises"
This pretty much summarizes the belief in Chinese Medicine, especially the energetic or chi imbalances/deficiencies/stagnation etc, as far as illness and disease related issues. I find it interesting and inspiring that you view things in a similar way, being a psychologist with a holistic background.
Perhaps they should try working in an Integrative Oncology unit and having deaths on their hands and then see why I would never ever play doctor online nor should anyone in general. When people come to my private practice they don't even tell me half of whats going on.. until layer by layer.. and sometimes I have to pry a bit.
People don't even tell regular MD's what supplements and herbs they are on usually.. and then they have all these issues coming about.
It boggles my mind when you see people asking one of the mods about medications. NO real background, no nothing, just googling and books.
But I digress, it's a scarey thought.
And regarding Loosie well you know,she's broken the Forum Rules , have abused people etc numerous times, its kinda her forte. Said Mod(s) use and abuse their power when they feel the need to. I don't even read her posts anymore, its the same nonsense, as entertaining as it was, it got old eventually. Let her say what she wants how she wants, but when I do loorddddy.. I get talked down to like I'm a 5 yr old. Whatever.
If I had the authority, if there were any way, if I just could, I would give your post here ten million Rs! Thank you so much for this badly needed post. Though it is so sad that hardly anyone will listen. The blind will remain blind. The deaf will remain deaf. Isn't that the way it always is? They don't realize what they did, and are even now doing, and they say they care. About who I wonder? What has become of this great Water Fasting forum? It has become very, very sick. It has become sick on a place like CUREZONE. What irony.
If you are not joking, you are serious, and then it means you have not realized that only you can motivate yourself. You can get support from this forum and other sources, but the initial move to fast has to be yours only. There is a weakening of the Will when we have inner conflicts or are depressed.
I am sure Steve and others can help you understand your own personal circumstances. But I would also ask for help at the Depression forum if I were you.
I agree with Mouseclick it would be good if you could tell us more about yourself and why you want to fast.
I also agree with latinmess, the only person who can make you fast is you. You have to make up your mind that your going to do it, then do it. Your mind is a powerful tool, you can use it to achieve your goals.
People here can support you if detox gets rough, or if you have questions about what's happening, but only you have the power to stay on your fast. So ultimately it's up to you.
Good luck, and please tell us more.
The best thing to do is decide firmly what you intend to do and make sure to see it through no matter what.
Some things in life are not easy, apparently doing a fast right now is not easy but you probably know that it will become easier once you conquer the mountain.
If people have finished posting here this thread will be moved to Fasting Debate where it belongs. You will still be able to find it there if anyone wants to debate further.

For Sunday we had batted around a few ideas, but eventually settled on a through trip from OFD1 to Cwm Dwr with a divertion up to Fault Aven.
There was a note on the board at Penwyllt warning that there had been an issue with the OFD 1 lock lately and so we decided to take Loz's car down the hill in case we couldn't get in that way. As it turned out the problem was that the lock splits into two parts when unlocked, rather than an issue opening it.
Because of our planned trip we were each loaded with a kit bag as we headed in. Jess took the lead for the trip to cement the route in her head. OFD1 proved easy going with the water levels very low and we were soon past the stream way, up the choke and making our way through the connection before we knew it. At the Letterbox we tried grabbing the chain and walking up the wall to post ourselves in feet first staring at the ceiling and this worked extremely well. On we went through the crawls, down the Divers Pitch and to the Confluence where again we met a very low main stream way.
At the first river chamber Jess went up first to get the ladder rigged at the pull through. I went up the pitch first and re-rigged to belay the girls up and then off we went to the photographic objective of the day, Fault Aven.
After navigating a rather intimidating traverse around a big hole in the floor I sent the girls off to have a look at the sand blocked rift passage whilst I set up flash guns. We spent a good 20 minutes trying to get a shot before eventually deciding to call it a day and continue with the through trip. We decided to turn right after the confluence and head out via the waterfall, but at some point we took a wrong turn, perhaps climbing out at the wrong point, and eventually exited via a squeeze in boulders about 30m from the Smithy.
Back on route we had no further problems making our way out aside from an incident where my balanced camera box slipped off a rock above me giving me a black eye!


BARON OF GODSMERE and BARON OF EMBERLY now available in real, live, crisp, smell-good, feel-good paper. Finally! DREAMSPELL coming soon!
England, 1308 ~ Three noblemen secretly gather to ally against their treacherous lord. But though each is elevated to a baron in his own right and given a portion of his lord's lands, jealousy and reprisals lead to a twenty-five year feud, pitting family against family, passing father to son.
England, 1333 ~ The chink in Baron Boursier's armor is his fondness for a lovely face. When it costs him half his sight and brands him as one who abuses women, he vows to never again be "blinded" by beauty. Thus, given the choice between forfeiting his lands and wedding one of his enemies to end their feud, he chooses as his betrothed the lady said to be plain of face, rejecting the lady rumored to be most fair.
England, 1334 ~ In the second book of The Feud series, Baron Magnus Verdun is a warrior whose handsome face gives little indication of the darkness he struggles to contain. While pursuing the murderous brigands who plague his lands, he becomes the unwitting savior of the woman the king has decreed he wed—the reckless Lady Thomasin, whose very presence threatens his carefully ordered life. And more so when she proves outspoken beyond what is required of a dutiful wife. Can he tame this woman whose willful ways ought to offend, but instead captivate? More, dare he allow her near and risk exposing the secret that could push her away?
Despite efforts to make a proper lady of her, the illegitimate Thomasin de Arell knows she is no match for the Baron of Emberly. Though she expects her new husband will think her beneath him, she is unprepared when he insists on separate chambers. When he also demands she control her behavior, the spurned Thomasin rebels—and unknowingly becomes the pawn of forces determined to further the feud. But upon finding herself in Magnus's arms, she discovers he is not as indifferent as he would have her believe. And when she glimpses his torment, she is determined to shine light on his darkness. Will he let her in? Or will their enemies use the distrust between husband and wife for their own ends?
In this sequel to the bestselling medieval romance, Baron Of Godsmere, join Baron Verdun and his lady as they discover that true love seeks first the soul, and is as easily seen in the dark as in the light.
NAH #2: This one… I like her. She's different–unique–but she isn't quite Lady Joslyn. Next!
NAH #3: This one… A good fit for how I envision Lady Joslyn–all that determination–but not quite there.
NAH #4: This one…lots of determination, but not quite Lady Joslyn and the pose is too…posed.
YEAH #1: With 4 "Nahs" I spent a day searching for my Lady Joslyn. And found this… And now for Evolution Of A Cover!
PART I: THE PERFECT LADY JOSLYN ~ My cover designer, armed with a better idea of what I envisioned for LADY UNDAUNTED, did me one better with this model. Now to place Lady Joslyn against an appropriate background and see her into a 14th-century gown.
PART II: THE PERFECT BACKGROUND ~ Hello Ashlingford Castle! I see why we had to switch horses, the original's neck and head too far forward to fit the cover. What do you think of a different mane? As for the gown, I love its transformation and the addition of the sword belt (I'll have to work that into the rewrite). Definitely keep the stunning pink, but lower the sleeve toward the wrist and nix the multi-colored ruffles.
PART III: HORSING AROUND ~ I thought the background was lush before, and now this… Sigh! The sleeve looks great, but I miss the gauzy bit of gown behind her. Can you add it back in? Horse-wise, this one has too much movement considering the heroine appears to be at a standstill. Let's go back to the last horse and lighten its mane.
PART IV: PERFECTING HORSE & GOWN ~ Wishy-washy me says the mane's original color looked better, so…you know. Love the gauzy bit of material returned to the back of her gown. Hey, this was a relatively easy one. So just one more thing–darken and soften her hair.
PART V: TA DA! ~ The finalized LADY UNDAUNTED. Happy dance time! Thank you for joining me.
LADY OF FIRE now available in real, live, crisp, smell-good, feel-good paper. About time 🙂 LADY OF CONQUEST, BARON OF GODSMERE, BARON OF EMBERLY and DREAMSPELL coming soon!
Believing only death will prevent him from returning to England, Sir Lucien de Gautier answers his king's call to arms. When he is captured and his family refuses the ransom demand, he finds himself bound to the oars of a galley. Enraged and embittered, he has no hope of escape—until a rich merchant's wife offers him freedom. In exchange, he agrees to smuggle a virtuous young woman out of a harem and onto a ship bound for England, unaware the real danger lies in the bond forged between him and his fiery charge. But when he learns she is as much his enemy as those who enslaved him, can he forgive her? More, can he forget her?
Determined to wed her childhood friend, a betrothal her English mother will go to any length to break, Alessandra refuses to abandon the only life she has known in Algiers—even if it means compromising her faith. But when she is entrusted to a new bodyguard whose scarred face and soul draw her to him, she soon discovers the bold Englishman is only playing a part, biding his time until he can fulfill his end of a treacherous bargain. Desperate to turn him from his course, she reveals her identity, but only succeeds in gaining his contempt. Now that he knows the truth, will he ever feel for her all she feels for him? And will it be enough for her to forsake her world to live in his?

Q: process.env.USER not what I'm expecting on Linux Mint 18.x I have a simple Node.js test app that uses dotenv package.
I have .env file
USER=DesiredUser

app.js
require('dotenv/config');

console.log(process.env.USER);

However when I run the app it is using the login user for my computer.
Any ideas? Doesn't happen on my Windows test.

A: From the official docs:

What happens to environment variables that were already set?
  We will never modify any environment variables that have already been set. In particular, if there is a variable in your .env file which collides with one that already exists in your environment, then that variable will be skipped.

In this particular case, it's probably a security issue too. On Linux you need sudo to become another user.

A: dotenv doesn't override existing environment (as another answer already mentions).
As it can be seen, it checks if properties exist on process.env.
As explained in this question, it is process.env.USERNAME on Windows and process.env.USER, this is the reason why it behaves differently.
If overriding is expected behaviour, it can be achieved at your risk:
delete process.env.USER;
require('dotenv/config');

Although this won't make the application run as another user.

Centered around a student organization devoted to helping others, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi (lit. Ookami-san and Her Seven Companions) is an action, comedy, and romance show rolled into one… Or at least, it tries to be.
I liked this series and its a shame it didn't get a second season.

Alexander McQueen was found dead today at his London home, according to the Fashion Insider Special Newsletter, which just popped up in my inbox. The death is apparently the result of a suicide.
At age 40 McQueen had become one of the world's most respected designers. According to reports, emergency services were called to his home. He was pronounced dead upon their arrival. A Scotland Yard spokesman stated that the death was not being treated as a suspicious case or foul play.


María Gombau and her boyfriend Gabriel Carvajal wanted their children and they cared for them. In this half a dozen sources consulted, two of them close to the couple accused of killing, between Wednesday night and Thursday morning his two children in Godella (Valencia), Amiel, three and a half years, and Rachel, who was going to serve six months. They not only wanted them; they went out of their way to care for them, in the words of a friend of the 27-year-old girl, as well as two "cornice angels". What few knew was that both had been sliding in a whirlwind of madness for some time. And what nobody imagined was that this path could lead to horror.
The situation of the children was not under the supervision of social services until Wednesday because, according to municipal sources and people close to the family agree, the couple had not given reasons for it. The images that the media have published, taken from where the perimeter established by the Civil Guard allowed, do not show the squatted house where Gombau and Carvajal resided with their children, but an abandoned abandoned warehouse. The house had running water and electric light thanks to the solar panels that had been installed, it was clean and had been rehabilitated with care, says a friend. The children were clean, the oldest was enrolled in school, both went to swimming lessons, played in the park with other children, were well fed and showed no signs of abuse. On the contrary, according to six people who knew them and defended this Friday also the grandmother, they received from their parents a lot of affection, something especially visible in the case of the mother.
Until this week, the couple appeared in the municipal files following the request made in 2016 by the Court of Instruction 2 of Paterna so that the social services of Godella intervene in a "conflict of neighborhood coexistence," reported Friday the mayor of Godella, Eva Sanchis. The file was closed because the family temporarily left the municipality. Gombau, who participated in the 15-M and another contemporary student movement, the Valencian Spring, was arrested in a protest and sentenced for resistance to the authority to perform community work in the Rocafort library.
Since 2017, the young woman received psychiatric treatment at the Godella health center, but that is not in itself a reason for the withdrawal of custody, say municipal sources. The Generalitat, in that scenario, had not intervened because nobody had asked for it, they say. The Office of the Children's Prosecutor, the other way to withdraw custody, did not receive an alert until this week, when the grandmother denounced the case. First he called the police on Monday, because Gombau did not answer the messages, but the agents did not see anything abnormal in the house. As she still did not know anything about the daughter and grandchildren, the woman called again on Wednesday to the Child Care Department of the Valencian Government, from where the social services of Godella were notified that they opened a file: they requested information from the grandmother of the children, to the public school of Rocafort where Amiel attended and to the center of health of Godella. The mechanisms were put into operation, but they could not avoid the unexpected tragedy: that same night, or maybe on Thursday morning, the mother allegedly killed the children and buried them with a father's participation yet to be determined, but according to the researchers was, at a minimum, a cover-up.
How did Gombau get to that point? Her friends explain that the alternative philosophy of the young woman resulted in an increasingly intense "paranoia of control" mixed with mystical theories about the existence of previous lives. Gombau and Carvajal had talked for some time that the world was dominated by a sect of pedophiles. But the process experienced an exponential jump a month and a half ago when their behavior adopted, according to research sources and two of their acquaintances, the characteristics of a psychotic outbreak probably stoked by the regular consumption of psychotropic drugs, especially marijuana. "At the beginning of February they began to say that everyone was part of that sect and that they were being persecuted. The teachers of the school of Amiel, the townspeople ... doubted even the mother of Maria and her friends, "says a friend of the couple.
Only the closest circle knew that the couple had spent months taking turns to spend the nights awake, keeping watch to prevent the alleged sect from entering the house at night and taking their children away. And not even his closest friends imagined that on Thursday, before the interrogators of the Civil Guard, Carvajal was going to declare that, by killing them, Gombau expected the children to reincarnate in her body. As if to protect them.
In mid-February, the father was fired from work because of his tardiness. And the mother called to remove the child from school because, he said, they were going to leave town. In the center they were told that they had to go and process the leave in person. During the following weeks, the school telephoned Gombau twice to ask him why they did not take the child to class or go to school to tell him about his new school - despite the fact that schooling is only compulsory after six years of age. . The young woman said in both cases that they were preparing the move, that they would do it. They never went.
María Gombau was transferred this Friday to a hospital center to determine, by specialists in psychiatry, if she is in a mental condition to give a statement.
The young woman and her partner, Gabriel Carvajal, regularly consumed, at least, marijuana, several people who knew them agree. Miguel del Nogal, psychologist expert in addictions, points out that psychotropic substances and in particular hallucinogens can cause the appearance of two types of psychotic symptoms. On the one hand, the so-called psychosis induced by a substance, which with the appropriate medication usually remit within two weeks or a month. But hallucinogens can also unleash "a psychotic picture latent in the person, and in this case the case may remain for a lifetime," warns Del Nogal.

On August 2016, our CSR department officer Mutsuo Minowa gave a lecture to MBA students at the University of Leicester in the UK for the first time as a Japanese enterprise. Minowa explained our strategic CSR, which started from a historical verification of the Three-Way-Good from Omi Merchants philosophy. This lecture was arranged by Professor Wagner of the University of Leicester, who is famous in CSR research, showed interest in our CSR.
CSR Lecture at The University of Leicester
Typical Activities in Our CSR
Since establishment, we have integrated our values and advantage with business and developed our business, with the principle to "resolve issues that our customers have about their hair". We categorized our activities into four themes, "Social and Regional Contributions", "Comfort and Safety for Customer", "Environmental Efforts" and "Academic and Cultural Activities".
Through our hair-related business, we have continued to make efforts in various activities, both domestically and outside Japan, as we consider ways to spread smile and joy not only for our customers who use Aderans Group products but broadly across society.

Wig Donation to Thailand Hospital
At the Thailand factory, we donate new prototype wigs to the local hospital. In the past, we discarded prototype wigs because of operational issues, but since 2012, the challenge has been solved so that we can donate to Thailand hospital.
Reduction of human hair usage by artificial hair
Human hair has been always used for the custom-made wig. Aderans Group has carried out research on artificial hair since 1983 due to the difficulties to secure a stable procurement of human hair. With successful development on its quality akin to that of human, artificial hair has been used for Aderans' products namely "Cyber Hair" and "Vital Hair" since 1990.
The Aderans Group carries "heartfelt service" as one of the management philosophies that it "aims to achieve". We have continued our activities, which involve the entire company as a united body and are deployed to raise the satisfaction level and trust of our customers.

Medical Wig JIS Standardisation
Medical Wig was approved as the world first national standard for wigs on 20 April 2015. In JIS process, Aderans Group played a leadership role in the industry.

Since 2009, we have been involved in an initiative, dubbed "Fontaine Green Forest Campaign". This project has been recognized by Prof. Wagner from University of Leicester that "it is a very unique activity which successfully has both aspects of social contributions and sales, along with sustainability".
Collaboration with Sakura Namiki Network
We expanded our "Fontaine Green Forest Campaign". By taking advantage of Aderans strength, our nationwide sales office, we are planning to expand our support for environmental conservation all over Japan.From 2016, we started supporting the NPO Sakura Namiki Network.
Mold making system by 3D scanner
By introducing the new mold making system, we actively manage to be environmentally friendly since we can reduce the amount of fitting materials. It also leads to the reduction of power usage because both domestic and internationaltransportation of those objects are no longer required.
To realize a society that is full of "smile" and "joy", we have focused on activities in the area of "hair and wigs", where it can leverage the strengths of the Aderans Group.
"Studio AD", experts in wig and hair and makeup
We have contributed the wig culture in Japan. Our original wigs for the performing arts have been used in various theaters, movies, TVs and concerts.

An Italian consumer group is planning a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft seeking compensation for Windows software pre-installed on computers for people who did not want it.
The Aduc consumer defence association said yesterday it would present its case at a court in Florence after today's Epiphany holiday.
The move against Microsoft, the world's biggest software company, comes after a law took effect on Friday allowing consumer associations to file suit for groups of consumers. "Individual cases affect a limited number of users," Aduc Chairman Vincenzo Donvito said.
"Therefore, as there are a large number of users involved, we are taking a collective legal action against Microsoft."

Shaq, who backed Republican Christie in 2013, backs Democrat
NEWARK — New Jersey native and former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has endorsed a Democrat in this year's contest to succeed Republican Gov. Chris Christie, whom he supported in 2013.
