Geschichte
Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung von Mosel stammt aus einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1248, in dem ein Herrensitz erwähnt wird, der Fridericus de Musella gehörte. Dieser Herrensitz befand sich mehrere Jahrhunderte im Besitz der Adelsfamilie von der Mosel und wurde mehrfach aufgeteilt. Die erste Teilung des Grundbesitzes erfolgte 1441 mit der Aufspaltung in die Vorwerke Obermosel und Niedermosel. Um 1552 werden beide als Rittergut genannt. 1558 wurde das Rittergut Obermosel in die Rittergüter Obermosel I und Obermosel II aufgeteilt. 1559 entstand bei einer weiteren Teilung der Niedermoseler Erbmasse das Rittergut Mittelmosel, welches zwischen 1663 und 1757 wiederum in die Rittergüter Mittelmosel I und Mittelmosel II geteilt war. Die Rittergüter in Mosel befanden sich bis zu folgenden Jahren im Besitz der Familie:
 1622: Rittergut Obermosel II (Obermosel untern Teils)
 1744: Rittergut Niedermosel
 1792: Rittergut Mittelmosel
 1838: Rittergut Obermosel I (Obermosel obern Teils)

Während die Rittergüter Niedermosel, Mittelmosel I und II und Obermosel II (Obermosel untern Teils) bis 1856 im kursächsischen bzw. königlich-sächsischen Amt Zwickau lagen, gehörte das Rittergut Obermosel I (Obermosel obern Teils) als Lehen der Herren von Schönburg bis 1878 zur Schönburgischen Herrschaft Glauchau, Amt Hinterglauchau.

Die Obergerichtsbarkeit der Rittergüter Thurm und Mosel (möglicherweise Obermosel) lag im 16. Jahrhundert beim jeweiligen Rittergutsbesitzer, obwohl es sich um schönburgische Lehen des Amtes Glauchau handelte. Wegen aller steuerrechtlichen und lehnsrechtlichen Belange durften sich diese Rittergutsbesitzer direkt an den schönburgischen Landesherren in Glauchau wenden. Sie hatten also eine weitgehende rechtliche Freiheit vom Amt Glauchau.
Das Rittergut Mosel (Obermosel?) gehörte grundherrlich zur Herrschaft Glauchau der Herren von Schönburg:
laut einem Glauchauer Amtsbuch aus dem Jahre 1536 (Bl.22) fallen Ponitz, Mosel und Thurm unter die "Ritterlehen vnd Erbarmannschafft mit yrer folge vnd dynstenn in diese Herrschafft vnd Ampth Glaucha(u) gehorende".

Der zum Amt Zwickau gehörige Teil von Mosel wurde 1856 dem Gerichtsamt Zwickau und 1875 der Amtshauptmannschaft Zwickau  unterstellt. Nachdem auch auf dem Gebiet der Rezessherrschaften Schönburg im Jahr 1878 eine Verwaltungsreform durchgeführt wurde, kam auch der schönburgische Anteil von Obermosel zur Amtshauptmannschaft Zwickau, wodurch der Ort zu einer Gemeinde vereinigt wurde.

Mosel ist ein zweireihiges Waldhufendorf, das über mehrere Jahrhunderte rein landwirtschaftlich geprägt war. Die Industrialisierung setzte in Mosel mit der Eröffnung der Bahnstrecke Dresden–Werdau im Jahr 1858 ein, an der der Ort einen Haltepunkt erhielt. Dieser wurde 1875 als "Bahnhof Mosel" gewidmet. Er war zwischen 1885 und 1951 Ausgangspunkt der Schmalspurbahn Mosel–Ortmannsdorf (Mülsengrundbahn) und seit 1893  Endpunkt der Industriebahn Zwickau–Crossen–Mosel, welche seit 1999 nur noch teilweise genutzt wird. 1865 erfolgte die Gründung der ersten industriell arbeitenden Unternehmen in Mosel, u. a. einer Brauerei, Kies- und Sandgruben und einer Lackfabrik. Durch die zunehmende Industrialisierung des Orts kam es zwischen 1890 und 1914 zu einem vermehrten Wohnungsbau und einem Anstieg der Bevölkerung.

1952 wurde Mosel dem Kreis Zwickau-Land im Bezirk Chemnitz (1953 in Bezirk Karl-Marx-Stadt umbenannt) zugeordnet. Zwischen 1979 und 1989 wurde das Montagewerk des VEB Sachsenring und das Gelenkwellenwerk errichtet. Zwischen 1979 und 1982 entstanden die Plattenbauten an der "Karl-Kippenhahn-Straße". Seit 1990 gehörte Mosel zum sächsischen Landkreis Zwickau, der 1994 im Landkreis Zwickauer Land aufging. Der Grundstein für das neue VW-Werk nordöstlich des Orts wurde 1990 gelegt. 1992 begann die Verlegung der B 93 im Ortsbereich von Mosel. Die zur Schnellstraße ausgebaute Trasse führt in Mosel seitdem durch einen Tunnel. Am 1. Januar 1999 erfolgte die Eingemeindung nach Zwickau, mit der Mosel seit der sächsischen Kreisreform im Jahr 2008 zum Landkreis Zwickau gehört.

Wirtschaft
Zur DDR-Zeit wurden im weiten Tal der Zwickauer Mulde auf Moseler Flur der neue Zweigbetrieb des VEB Sachsenring Zwickau und das Gelenkwellenwerk von GKN Driveline, einem Tochterunternehmen der GKN Plc, errichtet.

Nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung investierte hier der Volkswagen-Konzern. Die hier ansässige Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH, zu der auch das Volkswagenwerk Zwickau gehört, ist der größte Arbeitgeber Sachsens.

Verkehr
Durch Mosel führt die zur Schnellstraße ausgebaute Bundesstraße 93, die im Ortsgebiet zwei Abfahrten besitzt. Die Bahnstrecke Dresden–Werdau überquert die B93 im Bereich des Moseler Straßentunnels. Der Ort besitzt einen Haltepunkt an der Bahnstrecke. Zwischen 1885 und 1951 war der Bahnhof Mosel Ausgangspunkt der schmalspurigen Mülsengrundbahn. Weiterhin endete zwischen 1883 und 1998 die nur dem Güterverkehr dienende Bahnstrecke Zwickau–Crossen–Mosel in Mosel.

Happy Tuesday, I hope you are all having a nice week!
After ordering this little red number from Dollie Birds (here), it was the perfect start to the Christmas season when the family and I went out for dinner on Friday. It looked so glamorous on the website and luckily it lived up to all my expectations. The colour, as you can see, is a fabulous striking vibrant red.
Red is very much a show-stopping colour and is flattering on everyone. so Christmas is the perfect time of year to wear bold red shades – red dresses are like lippies, you will always find one that suits your skin tone.
Not one to shy away from a little backless number, when I saw this cocktail dress I instantly fell for it. The dress is true to size and very flattering to wear because of the slight fish tail which balances yours hips and shoulders. I know I will definitely get lots of wear out of this little cocktail number during the party season.

Religious conscience and the law probed by new publication
A new publication, launched by a former Bishop of Oxford and others, examines religious and ethical components to conscientious objection.
Musicology and philosophy, religion and political science
Why it is that so few 'secular' scholars engage meaningfully with 'religion', wonders Michael Marten. Or to put it another way: why is it that so many religion scholars depend upon and practice disciplinary heterogeneity, whereas many of the scholars they use do not appear to engage substantially with what they write?
The Arab quest for empowerment
Noting that much of the critical energy and revolt arising from the six-month old 'Arab Spring' has been directed internally rather than externally, respected scholar Elizabeth Kassab, who has a particular focus on post-colonial debates on cultural malaise, looks behind the headlines and media glare to examine features of the newly emerging landscape in the Arab world. Recovering a balanced, healthy and empowering sense of self has not been and will not be an easy task, she suggests.
Being fully and mindfully alive

Transcending shrunken politics in Israel-Palestine
In exploring the often murky and mired politics of Israel-Palestine and the wider region, Harry Hagopian finds hope and encouragement in the unexpected mutual company of atheist Jean-Paul Sartre and Archbishop Rowan Williams.
Citizen ethics in a time of crisis
Ethics. Ah yes, a county just outside London, the old joke goes. But seriously, ethical discussion in Britain is remarkably thin at the moment. That's why a new initiative to stimulate proper debate, launched today, has the potential to be so refreshing.

Ibán Yarza, the bread guru
© ffmag
Since early 2017 we have had the good fortune to have a distinguished new resident on the island. Ibán Yarza, regarded as a bread-baking 'guru' in Spain, is the author of the bestseller Pan Casero (Home-made Bread) (Larousse, 2013). At the time of our interview, he is immersed in the preparation of a new book, Pan de Pueblo (Bread of the Villages and the People) (Grijalbo), a book which "endeavours to be the most comprehensive ever produced about bread in Spain."
"I have covered 25,000 kilometres, and travelled through the 50 provinces of Spain, from Finisterre to Tarifa." With deadlines approaching, we succeed in persuading him to give a couple of hours of his time, but from the autumn onwards, we will be able to enjoy his well-known courses as he assures us that he will be including Ibiza on his usual itinerary.
We talked with Ibán Yarza
How did you start making bread?
I started out of interest; what interested me more than making bread was seeing with a child-like impatience how the dough was made, and seeing how it rose.
And since then you have come to be considered the country's greatest expert on bread, a veritable guru.
It's worth pointing out that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. There are great bakers in Spain, but you often find yourself talking to people who have never read a book, which is neither a bad thing nor a good thing. So what happens is that you read three books, and then people say to you, "How do you know that?" Hell, because I've read three books, that's all. Now there is a young generation of bakers which is coming along very nicely.
How would you encourage people to bake bread at home?
Bread has something that cooking does not: in cooking you transform the ingredients, but bread goes one step further, the rising stage, which is a living metamorphosis. You can put bread dough in front of anybody, and they will be fascinated to see how it grows.
Bread dough © ffmag
Now we are experiencing the bread boom similar to the cooking boom which at the same time, as you have commented on several occasions, can involve a degree of deceit.
Yes, when even Bimbo is advertising its bread using dough. What they normally use is dry leavening, a powder, which is just like a restuarant using Starlux when they are advertising food like grandma used to make. They sell a bag with all the ingedients in it: flour, dry leavening, additives so that the bread turns out springy, golden… All you have to do is add flour and water and there you go. It's the death of baking. And then they sell you that as a gourmet product. The use of mis-named 'improvers' to make the bread more springy is widespread. We have reached a point where if you don't use 'improvers', people think there is something wrong with the bread because it seems very heavy.
Without any previous training, how would you recognise good bread?
Simply by looking at it and tasting it. If your bread is stale by the evening, it's because it is bad bread; if your bread doesn't taste like bread, it's bad bread; if your bread doesn't smell of bread, it's bad bread.
The use of mis-named 'improvers' to make the bread more springy is widespread
And what about youngsters, if the only bread they've tasted is the 40 Euro-cents baguette from the supermarket next door?
That is the problem, and it has already happened with other products. Milk, for example. In Spain we have lost milk; over 90% of the population of Spain don't like milk because they buy UHT milk that has been through a process that has destroyed all the characteristics of milk. What you get in a carton of UHT does not taste of milk, it does not smell like milk, it doesn't have the texture of milk…. And unfortunately, that is what 90% of the population have. For several generations they've grown up with UHT milk, and when you give them real milk they don't like it. And the same thing is beginning to happen with bread.
So, in some respects bread is booming, and in other respects we are losing it?
Absolutely, through snobbery. Cooking is very much in fashion, and we say that we are a force to be reckoned with, and I often laugh, because in Spain we have seen the demise of milk, and we are beginning to see the demise of tomatoes… A little while ago, a chef told me he had arranged a tomato tasting session. People aged under 25 liked the perfect supermarket tomatoes, and they found that a big, juicy tomato fresh from the garden tasted strange. In this situation, there needs to be training: from an early age, children should be given food that tastes as it is supposed to taste.
Kneading bread © ffmag
In the restaurant trade, is bread being given the importance that you believe it deserves?
More and more. We have seen a few years pass where in some very famous kitchens, they did without bread so that it would not steal the show, or so that it would not fill you up, but now I believe that increasingly the spotlight is falling on bread. Last year, Aduritz had bread and cheese as an item on his menu. There are chefs who bake their own bread. Sometimes, too, it all gets a bit silly. You go to a restaurant, and they serve you bread with a million different flavours, and the quality is not that good. It is as if you went to a restaurant and they gave you wine with beer, or with tarragon, wine mixed with a fizzy drink of whatever flavour…
I honestly believe that the average is better than the average bakery on mainland Spain
And on Ibiza, how would you describe the quality of the bakeries?
I honestly believe that the average is better than the average bakery on mainland Spain, because normally the bakeries on Ibiza make the traditional island bread, which is a very simple bread, innocent in the sense that it is made with flour and water. It doesn't contain salt, it doesn't contain 'improvers'. The people on Ibiza are not afraid of a thick, dense crumb, nor are they afraid of a dark crumb, so the bakers do not feel obliged to use a large amount of 'improver' like they do on the mainland, where people panic if the bread is not as white as snow or if it is not 'super springy'. There are also cultural considerations: bread has played such an important part in life on Ibiza that there is an abundance of shapes, textures… The crusty breads are awesome: the crostas, the galleta forta which is thin slices of hard biscuit…. And then there are the wonderful sweet doughs, such as the Christmas biscuit… I love the baking tradition of the island because it is so innocent and pure. It is delicious, and we must not forget the cocas (typical pastries).
And what do you think of the standard of cooking on the island?
I believe Ibiza has a little-known cooking tradition which is fascinating because it has retained the spectacular medieval influence which you find in very few parts of Spain. Sofrit pagés (a typical dish of mixed meats and vegetables), for example, is actually a medieval dish.

Mark Cavendish left out of Tour de France by Dimension Data
July 2, 2019, 9:01 a.m. by jrobinson on Cyclist
Joe Robinson 2 Jul 2019 Manxman overlooked by team for team dedicated to hunting stage wins Mark Cavendish will miss the 2019 Tour de France after being left out of the Dimension Data squad. The African WorldTour team announced their team to tackle the French Grand Tour on Monday morning, opting to back Italian sprinter Giacomo Nizzolo and Norwegian all-rounder Edvald Boasson Hagen over Cavendish. Cavendish had been hoping to earn selection for the race, having run a reduced race schedule in order to be in shape for the Tour, which starts on Saturday 6th July in Brussels. Last year, the 34-year-old was forced to abandon the race after missing the time cut of Stage 11 to La Rosiere. The Manxman was then diagnosed with the Epstein-Barr syndrome which forced him to take an extended break during the latter half of the 2018 season before returning to racing in January ...
Mark Cavendish not selected for Tour de France
Mark Cavendish will not come any closer to Eddy Merckx's record tally of 34 Tour de France stage wins this year, as the British sprinter has been left out of Dimension Data 's squad for La Grande Boucle. Cavendish, who has 30 Tour stages to his name, has been hampered by Epstein Barr Virus in recent years and although he declared he was clear of the threshold in May, he has struggled for form in 2019. Dimension Data were one of the last teams to name their eight-rider roster for the Tour, which begins in Brussels on Saturday. They did so on Tuesday morning, naming a squad that is set up for stage wins, from the likes of Edvald Boasson Hagen, Michael Valgren, and Steve Cummings. In Cavendish's absence, they have a pure sprinter in the form of Giacomo Nizzolo, who won a stage of the recent Tour of Slovenia, ...

Dimension Data 's Roman Kreuziger will race Wednesday's Flèche Wallonne hoping that he can improve on the fourth place he took at last year's race, and hoping, too, that his team's fortunes soon change. The Czech rider will lead the African WorldTour team with Enrico Gasparotto and Michael Valgren , with all three riders left disappointed with their performances at last weekend's Amstel Gold Race, where they had made up the entire podium in 2018, with Valgren having won from Kreuziger and Gasparotto 12 months ago before they all joined Dimension Data for this season. On Sunday, Kreuziger was the team's highest-placed finisher at Amstel in 18th place, with Gasparotto and Valgren taking 41st and 52nd, respectively.

Impey leads Mitchelton-Scott hopes for Amstel Gold
South African road race and time trial champion Daryl Impey will lead the Australian Mitchelton-Scott WorldTour team at the Amstel Gold Race in the Netherlands on Sunday, hoping that he can add to the team's already impressive haul of 17 victories so far this season. In 2019, only Deceuninck-QuickStep – with 24 wins – and Astana (22) have won in 2019 more often than Mitchelton, who currently share a win-tally with Bora-Hansgrohe. Impey – who successfully defended his national titles in February on the back of retaining his Tour Down Under crown in Australia in January – enjoyed a break from racing between finishing the Volta a Catalunya in late March and Wednesday's Brabantse Pijl, and is now raring to go for the hilly Dutch one-day race.

The message is, "I like [x] but I consider myself better than the people who like [x]. I'm more of a [y] person, but by some fluke I just happen to like [x] more than [y]." Nope. You like what you like, and so long as you aren't harming anyone, crack on. Me, I've got no guilt. I like watching property shows, listening to Kenny Rogers, and eating donner kebabs when sober ( though not for £60 ). I like other things, too, but I feel no guilt about any of those choices.

Going for gold: Where your money should be for the Amstel Gold Race
April 18, 2019, 3:09 p.m. by jrobinson on Cyclist
Joe Robinson 18 Apr 2019 Cyclist picks out the best bets for Amstel Gold Race this Sunday The Amstel Gold Race is a different beast these days to what it once was. Until 2017, the entire day centred around the Cauberg. For 260km, the peloton would tour the rolling Limburg countryside, heading up climbs, turning into narrow roads – left, right, left, before hitting the Cauberg. It's a climb that's less than a mile long, not overly steep either, but swamped with local support on race day – mostly Dutch fans packing the roadside, urging the day's strongest riders on to the summit in pursuit of ultimate victory. To win Amstel Gold required you to keep some bullets in the gun for the base of the Cauberg. If you had something left, you could wind it up, put down the hammer and sprint to victory. Just ask Philippe Gilbert, who ...
Aldag: Valgren's talent hasn't just gone
April 18, 2019, 10:40 a.m. on Cycling News
It has been a punishing spring for the Dimension Data team with just two wins this season and sickness wrecking their chances in the spring Classics. Marquee signing Michael Valgren has been unable to showcase his talent but Dimension Data's head of performance Rolf Aldag believes that the Danish rider hasn't become a bad rider overnight and that the team's fortunes and results will improve. "We know why it's been difficult. They were sick and then when everyone else is super good it's just really difficult to catch up again. That's what you have to live with," Aldag told Cyclingnews during the weekend of Paris-Roubaix. Dimension Data signed the entire 2018 Amstel Gold Race podium over the winter with Valgren joined by Roman Kreuziger and the experienced Enrico Gasparotto. Their remaining Classics season will very much depend on those three riders performing at their very best. "The Ardennes are coming. ...
Valverde back in action at Amstel Gold Race
Alejandro Valverde ( Movistar Team ) will return to racing, following a brief break after his Tour of Flanders debut, at this weekend's Amstel Gold Race . Valverde will lead the Movistar team's ambitions at the one-day race on Sunday. Having tested out the cobbles a few times in recent years, primarily as preparation for the Tour de France, Valverde made his Tour of Flanders debut at the start of April and finished eighth. The world champion took a short break from racing after De Ronde as he prepared for the main goal of his spring, the Ardennes Classics. Since his first Ardennes campaign in 2005, Valverde has won Liege-Bastogne-Liege four times and Fleche Wallonne on five occasions. The Amstel Gold Race is one that has eluded him so far in his career, however. Valverde has finished on the podium three times in 10 appearances, once taking third and two ...

Boasson Hagen gives Dimension Data hope for Paris-Roubaix
April 10, 2019, 7 p.m. on Cycling News
Dimension Data have spent the past two off-seasons adding to their squad with the respected riders of Julien Vermote, Michael Valgren and Lars Bak in an attempt to bulk up their Classics squad and support Edvald Boasson Hagen . Boasson Hagen kicked off the 2019 season with a victory on his first race day in Volta Comunitat Valenciana and, alongside the new signings, gave Dimension Data plenty of promise for the spring. Sickness struck down the Classics squad at Volta ao Algarve, however, and the team has only managed a single top-ten during the entire Classics campaign through Giacomo Nizzolo – another new signing for the team – at De Panne. After Boasson Hagen's setbacks, a respectable 32nd place at the Tour of Flanders last Sunday is nothing to be sniffed at. The Norwegian showed his improved form further on Wednesday with a strong 10-kilometre attack in the finale at ...

Valgren bemoans 'stupid bike riders' after neutralisation chaos at Dwars door Vlaanderen
April 3, 2019, 8:42 p.m. on Cycling News
The neutralisation of Dwars Door Vlaanderen on Wednesday certainly looked chaotic, and that was confirmed from within the peloton as Michael Valgren ( Dimension Data ) hit out at "stupid bike riders" who kept fighting for position even though the race had been stopped. The breakaway and peloton were waved to a halt with 76 kilometres remaining to allow for ambulances to access riders who'd crashed in the women's race, which was behind schedule and set to use the same section of the course over the Kluisberg and Knokteberg. Though Valgren finished with the main peloton, 20 or so seconds down on winner Mathieu van der Poel, he found himself chasing for the best part of 20 kilometres when the race resumed. The reason, he explained, was riders jostling to be near the front, even when the race was being slowed and indeed when it was at a standstill, as ...

Valgren only joined the team this year from Astana, with whom he won last season's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Amstel Gold, and the Dane is hungry for more success with his new squad at this year's Classics. Although the 27-year-old has so far failed to fire this year, finishing well out of contention at the Omloop earlier this month, Valgren chose to skip last weekend's Milan-San Remo in order to concentrate on training for the cobbled Classics. "I'm really looking forward to getting back to racing after Tirreno-Adriatico," Valgren said on his team's website. "I think that it was a good idea that I pulled out of San Remo to get some good training done, and I've ...
E3 BinckBank Classic Preview
March 28, 2019, 10 a.m. by shawnm4747 on Podium Cafe
The best non-monument cobbled classic can't stop getting in the way of itself. (There's a saying that I've only heard used in West Virginia that seems oddly appropriate - The E3 organizers can't stop stepping on their own dicks). The always-exciting racing is often overshadowed by the organizer's sexist provocations in advertising the race. This year's addition to their chauvinistic oeuvre was this: Honestly, the body paint thing standing alone is kinda neat. The message, though, is at best muddled— "Who will crown himself prince in Harelbeke?" First, in the Frog Prince fairy tale, it's a princess that kisses a frog, which turns the frog into a prince. (And actually, in one of the original editions of the Frog Prince fairy tale, it wasn't a kiss by the princess that turned the frog into a prince, but rather the princess smashing the frog against the wall in a fit of ...
Strade Bianche: Tuscan delicacy
March 8, 2019, 11:10 a.m. by Jens on Podium Cafe
Is it possible that Strade Bianche is the most anticipated race of all on the calendar save for one or two that the Flemish hype machine have managed to elevate to almost God-like status? I think it probably is. Last year we engaged in a debate over whether it is in fact the sixth monument already and the opposition to such an outrageous claim was surprisingly mellow. It may not be but it's probably not far off in many people's minds. That said, it's still pretty early days and Strade is really just the opening salvo in perhaps the most intense period of the year, Paris-Nice, Tirreno, Sanremo all follow like a string of pearls and the coming weeks promise to be a blur of high caliber World Tour racing. The race also suffers from rubbing up against Paris-Nice this weekend. Like always some riders you'd desperately want to see ...

Did North Korea Really Hack Sony Over The Interview?
No way did North Korea hack Sony's websites over the upcoming movie The Interview about a buffoon-ish attempt to assassinate "president" Kim Jong Un.
I believe Sony in fact hacked North Korea and then piggy-backed on their system to then re-hack themselves to make it look like North Korea hacked them in an elaborate scheme to promote the movie.
The North Korean brand is all about criminal shenanigans, so in reality this movie is actually helping promote their image, not hurting it, so it makes no sense for them to do this. When they wrote about Jesse James and Billy the Kid, those guys loved it (according to Young Guns), when they made movies about Al Capone, he loved it (according to Boardwalk Empire), and even enrolment in outlaw biker gangs has gone up dramatically in recent years (thanks to Sons of Anarchy). Super villains love the spotlight!
When Heath Ledger won an academy award for playing the Joker in a movie, everyone called the guy a genius, so who knows what The Interview could do for the Kim Jung Un stock? Teenagers across America might be dressing up in uniform jump suits and smoking long luxurious cigars like that cool bad guy in The Interview next year, who knows?
Then again, as great as the Saddam Hussein character was in the Hot Shots movies, that still didn't stop the real guy from getting hanged … but he sure had a ton of good years in between.
If North Korea was known for championing humanitarian causes, then it would be pretty ridiculous to make a movie about assassinating their leader, but this is a country that is famous for counterfeiting, heroin production and threats to take over the world, they might as well be Cobra at this point.
So yeah… good one Sony, trying to make us all believe North Korea hacked you! What's next, gonna pretend those "nuclear bombs" in Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't promotion for that Godzilla reboot? C'mon!

What I've been listening to so far in 2015
Do you listen to music when you are working?
Those that know me well know that I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books for education, but there are a lot of times when I just love to crank up my car music system, or plug my headphones in and listen to music purely for entertainment.
I've played guitar for over 15 years and music is a big part of my life, so it gets me fired up and keeps me motivated.
In particular, I love watching interviews and live and studio performances of my favourite b ands and musicians on YouTube.
These are the 5 b ands that I've been listening to the most so far in 2015, and if you don't know me so well, this will give you a good insight into the music I listen to.
All That Remains – The Order of Things
This b and have had a huge influence on me – everything from the guitars I own to the style of music I love to play on the guitar.
I'd safely say that they are one of my favourite b ands of all time.
One of the things I like the most about All That Remains is that they write really good songs, and they like to mix it up. Some of their songs could be classed as 'heavy rock' and not heavy metal. But I really like that about the b and.
Click here, or below, to watch This Probably Won't End Well from their 2015 album The Order of Things.
Architects – Lost Forever // Lost Together
I've been a fan of this British b and since the very early days of their career and followed them avidly. A lot of my close friends are big fans too.
Lost Forever // Lost Together has been played in my car consistently for most of 2015. It's a fantastic album.
Click here, or below, to watch the promotional video for Naysayer by Architects on YouTube.
Lamb Of God – VII: Strum Und Drang
I simply love everything that Lamb Of God produce.
Each member of the b and is at the top of their game and they continually produce high quality records.
When the drums, guitar riffs and vocals come together you can't mistake a Lamb Of God track for another b and.
Click here, or below, to watch one of the newest tracks from Lamb Of God, 512, on YouTube.
Parkway Drive – IRE
Parkway Drive is an Australian b and and I've been listening to their music since they l anded in the UK.
They consistently deliver high quality music, and one thing that really makes them st and out from the crowd is that for every album they produce they do something very different. They are testing their own musical boundaries. I personally think it's a brave and bold move, and they seem to be able to pull it off flawlessly.
Click here, or below, to watch the promotional video for Crushed from IRE – one of my favourites on the new album.
The Ghost Inside – Dear Youth
The Ghost Inside are one of the b ands I listen to for fun. The rhythms and the beat from the way they write and structure their songs really gets me moving.
There's nothing musically complex about the songs but I really like that. Some of their songs and lyrics have really struck a chord with me in my own story, which is probably why I relate to the b and a lot.
Click here, or below, to watch Dear Youth from their 2014 album (I didn't download it until 2015).
I didn't plan on writing a conclusion, but I realised when I was pulling this together that I've been listening to 4/5 of these b ands for about 10 years!
It just shows you that consistently practicing and honing your craft, and working really hard over a long period of time, creates loyal fans. A lot of people in successful b ands agree that you've got more chance of being successful if you can stay the path.
DFTBA!

Luca Scinto of the Farnese Vini-Selle Italia team has won Premio Ennio Piscina as best directeur sportif in Italy for 2012.
Scinto: managing Italian national team has always been my dream
Acqua e Sapone competes for the last time in Italy
Former Langkawi winner Monsalve joins Farnese Vini - Selle Italia
Santambrogio signs for Farnese Vini-Selle Italia
The likeable but often irascible Tuscan secured 26% of the near 10,000 votes, beating Luca Guercilena of Radioshack-Nissan-Trek, who finished second with 10%. Davide Bramati (Omega Quick Step) was a close third with 9% of the vote.
Scinto likes to follow his riders closely, from the team car during races and even during training. Farnese Vini riders Andrea Guardini and Matteo Rabotini won two stages at this year's Giro d'Italia, while Filippo Pozzato went close to victory in the classics before being forced to confess his links to Dr. Michele Ferrari and miss most of the summer. The team will be known as Vini Fantini and has signed Fabio Taborre from Acqua & Sapone and Mauro Santambrogio from BMC Racing Team.
Scinto will collect his award at the Notte degli Oscar tuttoBICI organised by the Italian magazine on November 15 in Verona.
"I'm proud to have won this award, it means that my work has been appreciated by the fans," Scinto told Tuttobici.
"I want to share this prize with my riders. You can be the best DS in the world but if your riders don't listen to what you say, you can't achieve anything."

Book Tour & Giveaway: Concourse, Santino Hassell
About Concourse
Ashton Townsend is the most famous celebutante of Manhattan's glitterati. The black sheep of his wealthy family, he's known for his club appearances, Instagram account, and sex tape. Most people can't imagine him wanting for anything, but Ashton yearns for friendship, respect, and the love of his best friend—amateur boxer Valdrin Leka.
Val's relationship with Ashton is complicated. As the son of Ashton's beloved nanny, Val has always bounced between resenting Ashton and regarding him as his best friend. And then there's the sexual attraction between them that Val tries so hard to ignore.
When Ashton flees his glitzy lifestyle, he finds refuge with Val in the Bronx. Between Val's training for an upcoming fight and dodging paparazzi, they succumb to their need for each other. But before they can figure out what it all means—and what they want to do about it—the world drags them out of their haven, revealing a secret Val has kept for years. Now, Ashton has to decide whether to once again envelop himself in his party-boy persona, or to trust in the only man who's ever seen the real him.

An interview with Anna Grimshaw
Tuesday November 20th, 2018
An interview with Anna Grimshaw about her latest film, "George's Place: the Cellar", which will screen at the 9th Athens Ethnographic Film Festival. The interview was conducted by Lillian Dam Bracia, Traffic and Programme Assistant.
Ethnofest: From your film I got the feeling that George and his friends felt very comfortable with you, they make jokes and occasionally address you. How did you come across George and how long did it take you to introduce your camera and start filming him and his friends?
Anna Grimshaw: I introduced my camera from the beginning. I mean, I'm pretty well known in that place, partly because I had been making films there for quite a number of years. Although I didn't know George, I knew of him, I knew of people around him. I mean I began right away with my camera when I first went to talk to George about making a film, I took my camera. I was greatly helped by Bobby who is the man in the film who you see making the lobster traps – I had known Bobby a long time. And he works, as you can see, in George's cellar during the winter – so the fact he was there everyday made it much easier for me to be welcomed. Though I have to say, you know, George is just a very generous and open person and I think once he realized I was serious about spending time there, you know, not just rushing in and rushing out again, he was and everyone around me, was very serious about including me.
E: And how long were you there, as in with filming George and everything?
AG: Well, I ended up filming George for a year and the film that you are screening is the first film in a series and it is in fact, chronologically when I began filming I began filming in January. And I lived, probably 10 to 20 minutes by car from where George is, so it was always just a matter of driving down to his place and I did that everyday more or less to two and a half months when I began filming. Just like everybody else, I showed up when I felt like it which is just how people go to George's. Especially in the winter time when people are not doing much else. They go when they need to see somebody else, sit and talk for a while, so I did the same, except that (laughs) I spent much longer time than any other people.
E: How was it in the process of making this film, was it also part of your research on this particular community – so, fishermen in Maine and what they do in the winter? Was this a particular part of what you were studying?
AG: No, my project is a film project. I'm not doing anything else in Maine other than making films. So the project is about understanding how people make their lives in this particular landscape. So I'll be making films of lobster fisherman, of clamp diggers, of another man who lives in the Maine woods, so yeah, my interest is how people materially, socially and imaginatively live in that particular environment.
E: Right. This actually leads me to my next question which is about observational cinema and what you have written in your own work. In your co-authored book "Observational Cinema: Anthropology, Film, and the Exploration of Social Life" you talk about the importance of such style as way to "use of pictures to illustrate ideas'' instead of having an expert comment or use rhetoric upon the material. And your other book "Visualizing Anthropology" you mention that, quote:
"MacDougall argues for a genuinely visual anthropology that is not about the "pictorial representation" of anthropology. Instead it is a process of inquiry in which knowledge is not prior but emerges and takes distinctive shape, as he puts it, "through the very grain of the filmmaking" (1998:76)."
In the case of George's place: the cellar, what were some of instances in which you felt that knowledge about this community is emerging, or how do you attain new insights on this community through the very practice of filmmaking?
AG: As I was filming I was very struck by the ways in which people relate to each other. As in how they make community together through a lot of performance and joking. The ways in which yeah, society is emergent. I mean and it is not a given. I mean the people who are in the film, come together rather spontaneously and make this kind of rather interesting texture of social life through their interactions. I mean obviously they are skilled at what they do and there's an interest in how traps are made and what the weather is and how all of those climatic and environmental pressures govern who they are. That was something that was very striking to me as I edited, it's that how often they talk about the weather and how often we see that how they think is shaped entirely by what is going on outside because that's how they make their livelihood that is by being in that environment. But yeah, the other aspect was like I said, the ways they make community themselves, in the absence of any obvious structure. That they come together voluntarily around George and George fosters this very interactional conversation, as I said performative world which also has its caring aspect to it. These are almost older guys who are also reaching the limits of what physically they can do and it is a hard kind of physical life, as a fishermen. And so there are all these ways that they manage to handle vulnerabilities and support each other, which yeah I didn't really had seen how that worked. So how it is a kind of ongoing series of interactions that creates this texture of social life and continues through the other films but is very much present in the winter. And so those are the things the film really brought to the fore as I was doing my work.
E: Right, thank you Anna. Now that you said this, I remember now also how there are many layers to your film. Aging is one and of course the environment, I mean in the winter, it felt almost as if they were trapped in a way and that talking just became this way to pass time and make jokes. But also about gender and masculinity. And I was wondering for you as a woman and filmmaker, how was it? Was that something that also became apparent? Do you think the fact that you as a woman, they behaved differently? I mean, still, you were completely incorporated, but still it felt to be a "man's world".
AG: It is a man's world, but at the same time George is very open. I mean, really, anybody could show up there and women do go there but not very often, more often in the summer when the guys are sitting outside, when somebody comes in the end of their workday. So, it's not – I mean – it's curious, because they are older guys so there isn't kind of a certain tension there and so I never…well, as I said, I really felt that I was invited in and incorporated in that world and that's partly why I include that scene in the film which is unusual for me, to show myself. But because it was organic and just generated in the moment, obviously they let me film and it shows George teaching me – you know, I'm a novice, I'm the apprentice. He would have been like that if it had been a young man. Hmm – so it is not- I mean, it is clearly a man's world but it's not one based on a kind of exclusion of woman.
E: I was also wondering what do you think are the limitations of the approach of observational cinema? I remember talking to this one professor one time and we were talking about spirit-trance possession, that is hard to show this without giving a context to the viewer – because it's something that can play into you know, exotification, without explaining to the audience what you are actually witnessing right now. So I was wondering if you have encountered in your own practices, limitations to this approach?
AG: Well, it really depends on what you are interested in exploring. Obviously the way anyone approaches the subject matter has to be in dialogue with that subject matter and so, for me, and as I mentioned just earlier, I'm interested in time and the way things unfold. And so, for those questions and the way that people relate to each other in their spontaneous and emergent society way, observational work, is the only way where one could explore those areas of social life. But yeah, if you are interested in other kinds of cultural practices, trance ritual for example then yeah, you may need to take a different approach. So there's certainly not one approach and I think one has to, I mean, I think it's an interesting challenge of being a visual anthropologist or ethnographic filmmaker, which is figuring out how best to work with your subjects. I think sort of holding to my observational approach driven partly by the questions that I'm interested in but also as a kind of refusal to fall back in the usual ways that documentary is structured. That doesn't mean that one could never have narration or interview or dialogue or any of these other strategies. It's just one needs to have a good reason for why one is working in a particular way. That's all I ask filmmakers, rather than just being settled for that without giving really thought very hard about other possibilities why they might use a technique rather than another.
E: And have you ever thought about using other approaches to filmmaking in your own practices?
AG: I would if it was called for by my subjects. So far, you know, I seek out places where I can do the work that I find most satisfying but absolutely would allow working in some other kind of way.
"George's Place: the Cellar" is a World premiere at this year's 9th Athens Ethnographic Film Festival, screening at ASTOR Cinema on Wednesday 21st of November, at 17:00 o' clock.


One hundred years ago, history was made when the "Ladies of Lisle" cast the first votes by women in New York.
The special election in the small Broome County town on Jan. 5, 1918, was held to determine whether the town should allow the sale of alcohol. The ladies, who were involved in the local temperance movement, led a lopsided defeat of the proposition — 335 against liquor to 94 in favor.
Attitudes towards alcohol have changed significantly over the last century. Alcohol production has gone from something the government banned to something the government is promoting. Easing regulations and creating new incentives for craft beverage producers has been an important component of New York's economic development efforts over the last few years.
With this new perspective on alcohol and a craft distillery a block away from where the Ladies of Lisle voted, a commemorative whiskey will celebrate the centennial of the first vote.
The whiskey will debut this weekend as part of a celebration to the Ladies of Lisle. On Friday, an historical marker will be unveiled at the location where the women voted. Following the ceremony, self-guided walking tours will offered, and two receptions will be held. A "dry" reception will take place at the Lisle Free Library, where visitors can also learn more about the historic vote; and a "wet" reception, featuring the new whiskey, will be held at French Distillers and Alchemists. Additional walking tours will be available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, with the distillery also be open to visitors.
•Where: Historical marker at Old Village Hall, 9011 Main St. (Route 79) in Lisle. Following the ceremony, a "dry" reception will be held at Lisle Free Library (8998 Main St.) and a "wet" reception at French Distillers & Alchemists (10 Walker Ave.).

Local Natives T-Shirt Ladies
Local Natives band Licensed Merchandise
California's indie rock band, Local Natives, make hooky, nuanced rock that balances post-punk urgency with folk-tinged lyricism. The group had a buzzy moment in 2009 when their debut album, Gorilla Manor, grabbed fans and critical praise for its vibrant mix of kinetic tribal rhythms and soaring falsetto harmonies. Since then, the band have expanded upon that sound, exploring a darker, more ambient aesthetic on 2013's Hummingbird, adding synths and electronics into the mix for 2016's Sunlit Youth, and digging deep into a textural, '70s adult-contemporary vibe for 2019's Violet Street.

A Conservative Lost in the Episcopal Church
Mark Mangie July 24, 2017 0
Pictured: The National Cathedral. I am an activist political conservative. Yet on Sunday mornings I find myself seated in the pew of an Episcopal Church. The Episcopal Church is probably the most liberal of mainline liturgical churches. It led the way in the conventional belief that liberal Christianity was the future for church growth. Make church cool for those on the left and they will flock to your church.
It hasn't worked out. The American branch of the Anglican Communion has never been a large player on America's faith stage, but it was filled with prominent people and was relatively wealthy as American churches go. Over the past few years it has lost 32% of its membership. It has spent over $18,000,000.00 in litigation over who gets local church property when disgruntled congregations leave the church (Answer: usually the national church, but not always). Its current membership is approximately 2.3 million. There are more Jews in America than Episcopalians. It is outnumbered by Catholics 33-1. There is a lot of debt. Meanwhile, conservative evangelical churches have flourished in every possible way.
So how did I get here? More importantly, why have I stayed?
I was raised Catholic. I attended Catholic School for a few years, but mostly got my education in the public-school system graduating in 1968. I was a rebellious Catholic. My friends were shocked when I ate a hot dog on a Friday night at a football game. Arizona had just been granted a dispensation from meatless Friday edicts. It puzzled me that it was not a sin to eat meat in Arizona on Friday but cross over into New Mexico…you had a bus ticket to hell. I didn't know God was that concerned with geography.
All of us who are children of the sixties experienced earth shattering changes in our religion…but especially the Catholics. From the time I was first aware of religion in the early 1950's through the late 1970's I saw my church eliminate the Latin Mass; change the direction of the altar; allow laity to serve Communion (we were taught that the host would bleed if anybody touched it but the priest); watched nuns lose their habits; watch pre-communion fasting shrink from 24 hours to 1 hour…then disappear altogether; watched pre-holy day fast days move from the day before to two days before…then disappear altogether. Attending Protestant churches was forbidden. But the Pope remained infallible when speaking from the Chair of Peter.
My wife was a Lutheran. When we got married in 1972, it was still problematic. We had to be married by a Catholic priest. My wife had to sign a pledge to raise our children Catholic. The priest could not marry us beyond the communion rail. We caught flak from both sides of the family. My cousin called my wife a heathen. My wife's uncle told me that the only good fish-eater was a dead fish-eater.
We found a home in the Episcopal Church…a Protestant church that looked and felt like a Catholic church. Jokes abounded about the Episcopal Church. Catholic light. All the Sacraments-half the guilt. And it seemed to be populated by lots of lapsed Catholics who, for whatever reason, decided to leave Holy Mother, the Catholic Church.
For me, it was an easy decision. I disagreed with the Catholic policy on divorce, birth control, and married priests. I saw a degree of corruption within the clergy when it came to dispensations or annulments. Those with money got what they wanted…the rest of us not so much. I also could see Sister Felicia chasing me down the hall when my mother took my brother and I out of Catholic school shouting that our parents were going to hell for sending us to that sinful public school. Then there was the time I made the mistake asking about evolution in CCD classes. Whoa.
The final straw occurred the first Easter after we got married and I attended Lutheran church services with my wife's family in her hometown. That afternoon, feeling guilty, I stopped by a Catholic church on my own to pay my respects, so to speak. A priest walked over to me and asked what I was doing there and I told him. He berated me in no uncertain terms for sinfully attending a Protestant church service in the morning.
It was clear to me that the church I was brought up in was not going to change, so I opted out. Why stay in a religion with which you philosophically disagree?
The Episcopal Church extends back to Henry VIII who ran out of divorce options. It broke away from the Anglican Church during the American Revolution. After the war, it became part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It practices Apostolic Succession…the laying on of hands extending back to St. Peter. After breaking away from the Anglican Church during the Revolution, Episcopal lore says it was Catholic Bishops from Scotland/Ireland that continued the succession for the newly formed Episcopalians.
What drew me to the Episcopal Church was its tolerance of varying religious dogmas. Here is a list of precepts that the Church believes…but there is lots of wiggle room. Over the years, that wiggle room began to expand. In addition, the culture of Episcopal Church has always been one of social activism. For having a reputation of being the stodgiest of stodgy liturgical religions, it has always been on the cutting edge of social justice issues dating back to our nation's founding. Whether slavery, civil rights, feminism, LGBTQ activism, the Episcopal Church has taken an activist role. In that kind of culture, politics is drawn into the discussion whether we want it there or not.
Unfortunately for the Episcopal Church, the hierarchy of the church has become dominated by social justice warriors whose tolerance level for those who disagree with them is somewhat challenged. The result was a 2016 three year suspension of voting privileges within the Anglican Communion resulting from the American church's stance on gay marriage. In 2006, the Episcopal Church elected a female Presiding Bishop, Jefferts Schori, who openly supported the election of a gay and partnered Bishop in New Hampshire, as well as offering tacit support for abortions.
So why do I stay? The glib answer is I have to be buried out of somewhere. It might as well be from the church I have attended for the better part of 40 plus years. I have made many friends in my local congregation. My parish was the first Episcopal parish west of the Allegheny mountains. It has a long tradition of independence from the national church with a strong and activist laity. The parish also still has a group of old line Episcopalians who are unwilling to give up their home.
At a more serious level, my draw to the Episcopal church now is what brought me here in the first place. Its tolerance of different ideas of God and dogma. Some of its Bishops have attempted to bring in some radical views of Christian dogma that are disturbing and totally out of bounds. But it is still interesting to hear their view, ponder what they say, and arrive at my own conclusions. I can tolerate them so long as they can tolerate me. Who am I to conclude there is only one way to view God's collective church? I rejected that notion when I ate that hot dog at a football game in 1967 and attended Easter church services at a Lutheran church 45 years ago
Religion is what you make it. Organized religion is made up of people. For the most part, people can't agree on the time of day. The kinds of things with which organized religion concerns itself tend to be messy. To expect a unified view on anything is not going to happen.
What we agree upon is more important than any of our disagreements. The Episcopal Church believes in the goodness of God. Redemption. The power of love. The power of faith. Good works and good deeds. Salvation. Hope. We believe in the fallibility of mankind. We are all sinners. God came to show us how to deal with that. Making a good faith effort to get along is much more important than a doomed effort to achieve the unattainable…agreement on everything. The Nicene Creed I said in the Catholic Church is the same one I said in my wife's Lutheran Church and is the same one I say in the Episcopal Church. That is the core of the religion. Everything else is window dressing.
The Book of Common Prayer, a rich and enduring liturgy, old Anglican hymns, and age-old traditions that have stood the test of time and cultural change, that is the commonality of the Episcopal Church. It is a tolerant and welcoming path opened to all regardless of race, creed, gender, and yes…sexual preference.
The foundational beliefs of conservatism are the importance of the individual and personal responsibility for our lives. We believe in finding our own way. Our rights come from our Creator. Notwithstanding what is happening at the top of the church hierarchy, the Episcopal Church allows its members to find their own way to their Creator. No threats. Just acceptance. That is conservative. That is kind of cool.

Insights into Japanese culture from New York's Japan Society.
Lessons From Another World: Three Timeless Folktales From Japan
Life's a mukashi banashi! Illustration by Benjamin Warren.
Whether it's a turtle ride to an underwater palace, bamboo-born princesses, or a thumb-sized samurai besting beasts, Japanese folklore conjures worlds unlike any other where truly anything is possible.
In his fourth volume of Japanese Fairy Tales, Professor Keisuke Nishimoto of Showa Woman's College of Tokyo writes, "[these tales] are more than just entertaining; they also address some of life's enduring themes: how to live a good, kind life; how to achieve happiness; and the price to be paid for cruelty, greediness, and cowardice."
Today Japan Society marked Kodomo no hi, Japan's annual festival to celebrate children's happiness and wellbeing with its first-ever Folklore Family Day, transforming three floors of its landmark building into immersive worlds of Japan's most enchanting and enriching mukashi banashi (folktales).
"We want to share the mystery of stories from a different culture," Jeffrey Miller, director of Japan Society's Education and Family Program told The New York Times, adding that children would see that "the humanity in these stories is common to all cultures."
Japan Society brought to life several folktales, including stories familiar throughout the world such Momotaro (Peach Boy) and Kintaro (Golden Boy). Other featured stories just as beloved and time-honored in Japan, but perhaps less well known outside the country were Urashima Taro, Kaguya-hime (Bamboo Princess) and Issun-bōshi (One-Inch Boy).
Fathoming A Treasure More Valuable Than Time
One day the son of a modest fisherman, Urashima Taro (1) comes across a group of mischievous boys taunting and torturing a tortoise. Thinking quickly, Urashima offers to buy it from them, then releases it back to the sea as soon as they have gone. The following day while out fishing on his boat, Urashima is greeted by the tortoise, who expresses its gratitude with a trip to the Dragon King's Palace at the bottom of the sea. Once they arrive, the tortoise transforms into a beautiful princess and asks Urashima to marry her, which he accepts.
A few short days later, Urashima begins to miss his family, whom he had nearly forgotten during the adventure, and asks the princess to let him go see them. She obliges, giving him a precious keepsake: a box which he must promise never to open. He agrees, returning to the surface, where he finds that more than 300 years have passed. Realizing that he's outlived all of his friends and family, he opens the box in his grief, releasing a small cloud of smoke. He starts to feel weak, with his hair turning grey and his face wrinkling up, as the box had contained his old age.
(Searching for the many meanings hidden in this tale, it's important to understand the rich history of Japan's fishing culture. Up until just one hundred years ago, one out of every twenty Japanese were fishermen.)
Lunacy In Not Letting Go
Discovered in a bamboo stalk by a childless elderly couple, Kaguya-hime, the Bamboo Princess (2) wishes for nothing more than to spend the rest of her time on Earth with her parents. She grows up to be one of the most beloved women in the land, but with no desire to marry, she sends every suitor off to complete impossibly difficult tasks before they can win her hand in marriage. Several men set out on their journeys, with some attempting to deceive the princess, and others simply realizing the futility of their efforts. None complete their tasks (and not all of them make it back alive).
Though the princess manages to avoid marriage, she realizes she won't be able to stay with her parents forever. She tells them she must go back to the moon, her true home. Her parents are devastated, and eventually word reaches the Emperor, who sends his troops to prevent the princess from returning to the moon, to no avail.
Kaguya-hime puts on a special robe that erases her memories as she walks to the carriage sent to take her to the moon. Before she leaves, she hands the Emperor's servant a letter and a portion of the elixir of eternal life that she herself has imbibed. Upon reading the letter, which proclaims the Princess's desire to marry the Emperor if only it were possible, the Emperor, still in love with her, orders his servant to climb the highest mountain in all of Japan, then burn the potion and the letter at its peak, so that the smoke carries his sorrows to the heavens. That mountain eventually became known as Mt. Fuji, and on days when smoke rises up from the mountain, it is believed the letter and potion continues to burn its message for the princess.
(Another story deeply intertwined with meaning, especially when you consider the history of marriage in Japan.)
Big Benefits For The Steadfast Brave
Another elderly couple have been praying at a local shrine every day for a child, when Issun-bōshi, or One-Inch Boy (3) arrives. No bigger than a man's thumb, he is nevertheless determined to become a samurai. When he comes of age, he asks his parents for a needle to use as a sword, a straw for a sheath, a rice bowl for a boat, and a chopstick for an oar, and sets off for adventure. Riding his bowl down the river and fending off a hungry fish with his chopstick-oar, he eventually makes it to the city and starts working for a wealthy man, whose daughter he quickly befriends. One day, while the two are playing outside, they are approached by a group of ogres who intend to kidnap the girl, who was actually a princess.
One-Inch Boy resists and one of the ogres swallows him whole. He responds by poking the ogre's stomach full of holes with his sword. In incredible pain, the ogre spits out One-Inch-Boy and flees, dropping his magic mallet in the process. The princess picks it up, chants, "Grow, One-Inch Boy, grow!" Soon enough, One-Inch Boy quickly outgrows his name, rivaling the princess in height. The story ends with him marrying the princess and becoming a samurai as he had always dreamed.
Enduring Lessons From The Monstrous Mystery
In their delightful (and deceptive) simplicity, folktales, fables and myth are ancient tools to help us cope with life's difficult twists and turns. On the surface, Urashima Taro shows us there are rewards for doing right; but dive deeper into the story and we find that the act of doing right is its own reward: peril awaits those who are distracted by meaningless treasure. Kaguya-hime teaches the importance of loving and appreciating your family, and the difficulty and inevitability of having to let go (imagine a grief so profound it causes Mt. Fuji to bellow!) Sharing many similarities with Tom Thumb from English folklore, Issun-bōshi stresses the importance of inner strength and self-sufficiency, regardless of how immense the challenges one may face.
"The great ideas of courage, duty, beauty, desire, cause, man and animals are themes throughout western literature and many also appear in Japanese children's stories," notes Miller.
According to maverick mythologist Joseph Campbell, there are four purposes to myth (4): to inspire awe of the "monstrous mystery" of existence; to present the inner and outer cosmos in a way that simultaneously dazzles and describes the universe; to advance a society (or community or family) through a shared understanding of right and wrong; and to "carry the individual through the stages of his life, from birth through maturity through senility to death… in accords with the social order of his group, the cosmos as understood by his group, and the monstrous mystery."
Through its Folklore Family Day, Miller says, "Japan Society's Education and Family programs share the great wealth that comes from considering tales that cause children and adults to be in awe and wonder. The imagination of a child is not a small thing and we desire to share stories that excite."
Miller points to a quote from Anthony Esolen's Ten Ways to Destroy Your Child's Imagination: "Fairy tales and folk tales are for children and childlike people, not because they are little and inconsequential, but because they are as enormous as life itself."

An Oldowan stone scraper.
The origin of the wedge is unknown, because it has been in use from as early as the stone age. The first wedge was probably used as a knife or scraper and was probably just a broken piece of a stone. Stones that fit easily in your hand and are sharp enough to cut meat, grass and bark are not hard to find. You can find pieces of stone that can be used as a knife just lying on the ground in some places.
The wedge is one of the very first inventions of humans. The wedge is one of the six simple machines and may have been the first or second developed (along with the Lever. When early humans made scrapers, axes and knives from stone, they were making a wedge. The earliest known wedges made by people were made 2.6 million years ago. Simple stone tools like these are called "Oldowan" tools by archaeologists.
In ancient Egyptian quarries, bronze wedges were used to break away blocks of stone used in construction. Wooden wedges, that swelled after being saturated with water, were also used. Some indigenous peoples of the Americas used antler wedges for splitting and working wood to make canoes, dwellings and other objects.
Cross-section of a splitting wedge. A downward force produces forces perpendicular to its inclined surfaces as shown by the arrows.
A chisel is a type of wedge.
A wedge is a triangular shaped tool that is thicker on one end (the blunt end) and thinner on the other end (the edge.) A slice of pie is the shape of a wedge. Wedges are one of the six simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects, split an object, lift an object, or hold an object in place.
How does it get power?[edit]
Its power comes from outside forces acting on it. A wedge converts a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (at a right angle) to its inclined surfaces. A short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, but it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.
How dangerous is it?[edit]
Because a wedge is thin on the edge, it is sharp. There are many wedges you have to be careful with, like knives and scissors. However, some wedges can be blunt and not dangerous at all...
How does it vary?[edit]
Some wedges are used to separate. Common examples of this type of wedge include knives, axes, nails, scissors, and plows (British English: ploughs). Others are used to lift things or adjust the distance between them. A long tapered piece of wood called a shim is used in carpentry to make fine adjustments. Still other wedges are used to hold things in place. A doorstop is an example of this kind of wedge.
A farmer plowing a field. The blade of the plow is a wedge that digs a furrow into the earth.
How has it changed the world?[edit]
The wedge might be the most important invention in human history. Without wedges, we would not have been able to cut wood, hunt animals, or make clothing. A particular kind of wedge called the plow allowed human beings to farm the land.
What idea(s) and/or inventions had to be developed before it could be created?[edit]
The only thing that people had to know was how to chip rock to make it sharp. Now we usually use metal for most wedges.

Pulse Regeneration was appointed by Yorkshire and Humber Mind Consortium (YHMC) to a Business Development Management support role with the overall purpose of developing and expanding the profile and income opportunities for YHMC. YHMC is made up of 11 Local Mind Associations (LMA's) and recognised the need to compete for and win large regional contracts as a way of generating income as well as providing greater access to mental health services across the region.
The approach has involved getting the consortium tender ready through developing a Tender Readiness Questionnaire, assessing the tender readiness of each LMA, scoping LMA service delivery and facilitating a tender readiness workshop, which supported the development of a YHMC Development Plan. Following this a business development workshop was held to discuss methods of generating income and agreeing activities that YHMC could focus on. An Income Diversification Plan was produced that identified potential income opportunities such as public sector contracts, donors and social enterprise development. A plan for raising the profile of YHMC is now underway including identifying key stakeholders and delivery partners as well as production of promotional materials. A Forward Plan will also be developed, which will include identifying resources to sustain the Business Development Manager role to drive YHMC forward.

From welding student to achieving his dreams.
All his academic life, Pule Nkaenkae had been a great student. He sailed through the first eleven years of his schooling and when he got the chance to do a diploma he succeeded in graduating with several distinctions. All in all, Pule should have been on top of the world. But after graduating it all came to a standstill. He just couldn't get a job. His diploma in Road Transport Management was good, but ultimately, the job market was just too saturated to find a place for him. Pule was never one to sit on his haunches however. He still had a small but steady job as a sales assistant that he had worked steadily at for six years since a year after matric, and though it wasn't enough to achieve his goals, he worked hard at it whilst he looked for something better. At the end of 2013, he heard about Sparrow FET College from a youth development programme he attended. Sparrow was one of the recommended schools for youth in his position or even worse, and Pule immediately took the chance and signed up for the welding programme. He was not hesitant about going back to school all over again.
"I love learning," he says with passion. "Learning the theory of welding was very simple for me as I enjoy studying greatly. From the word go, what I liked about Sparrow FET College was the fact that you could feel the personal vested interest in your education from the college. You had a relationship with them. I was not just a face at a university, I was Pule who was doing Welding and they knew every facet of my learning. If I struggled, they would immediately see and help me."
At first Pule struggled at the college. In those days, the welding programme was new and there were no stipends for students so Pule struggled with transport money. But he grit his teeth and persevered. Attending Sparrow also opened Pule's eyes to opportunities the youth today ignored. "Young people today, they all want to rush to university, but that is not where the jobs are." He says ruefully. "They should research what is in demand."
By July of 2014, Pule was doing his placement at New Heights Tank Design as a trainee. After he finished his training, the company took him in. Here began another rollercoaster. Pule had a great work ethic and all the managers were greatly impressed by him. He was snapped up into another department as soon as he was made a permanent employee, and got the opportunity to travel out of the country for large projects. And as of this year, when the company split and a new one was formed, Pule was the in demand employee everyone wanted to hire.
"I am a very motivated person, and with the training I got at Sparrow, I finally got a chance to apply and be rewarded for my motivation. What I always like to say is don't start something you can't finish. It is a waste of time and energy. It's very difficult to overcome financial struggles, they interfere with everything, but as soon as you begin something you need to work to finish it. Be determined, be motivated, finish the task."
Pule has plenty more tasks he is set to achieve, travel, furthering his new career and more. But with his determination and motivation, he is sure to achieve his dreams.
