Thanks Patrick, really enjoying this build. It's a modular 3 piece build. Today I primed the roof as I want to start some work on this early next week. What's the best finish available for corrugated asbestos roof? Is Slaters too thin or is Wills better thickness?
Slayers is thin and Wills is thick. Indeed, I use Wills asbestos for 7mm scale wiggly tin. The best stuff is made by Ambis Engineering, so worth Googling, as this project is to a high standard and deserves the best.
Something worth noting if you are planning on using Wills Red Brick headers over arches. Although Omagh had three brick headers over all arch openings, Wills brick headers appear to be over-sized and look out of place. Acting quickly before my adhesive totally set, I removed these headers and reduced them to two brick headers, as can be seen below.
Tomorrow, the Carpenter at Omagh GNRi station Is calling to check the finer detail of this build with me. He repaired many of the sheeted doors in the Goods store and repaired the roof many times. He went on to work as Clerk of Works with the lifting train squads at Omagh.
Today, ex-GNRi carpenter Billy Caldwell called to check out my model of the Goods store. He talked in detail of how he worked with a squad of tradesmen 1954-55 to lower the entire roof of the building. He gave me a commentary of the 'goings on' inside when Omagh was a busy mainline station.
According to Billy, the model is very exact!
That is nice - even the currently visible white marks from the filling would look quite prototypical where I live, on the edge of the salt fields.
Broithe, this is all pre-paint. Will be grey in the end.
Very impressive shed Tony, certainly a center piece for a diorama in its own right.
I have used the Wills stone sheets for smaller buildings and generally brush paint the building in a dilute light grey to pick out the mortar joints and then paint the stone work with a dry brush technique.
This is a very nice example, Thanks for posting. My plan was to run a light grey into the joints and pick out the individual stones with various shades as illustrated in the picture I took of the original store below. Although this one is b&w, I did take many colour shots too.
I think there are basically two ways of painting buildings - mortar colour first and then pick out each stone, or put a general stone colour on first and add the mortar as a dilute wash.
The latter is the technique used by scenic master Martyn Welch (The Art of Weathering). The stones can be done in a semi 'dry brush' method, when you skim the top surface with a broad, flat brush, sponge, cloth or what ever. Much depends on whether the stone is a uniform colour or a variety of shades. Once dry, probably 48 hours with enamels, the mortar colour used should be a very dilute mix. The trick is to hold the model at about 45 degrees and, using a largeish, flat brush, well loaded with paint, touch the brush at the top of the model - the paint will then run down all the mortar lines by capillary action. Repeat as required, down and across the building. Any paint on the stones themselves can easily be wiped away.
Having tried it myself, it became the usual method for Arigna Town's stonework, though as always, best to test on a scrap piece first.
David, very helpful tips there. Do you recommend acrylic or oil based enamels?
What ever you prefer, to be honest, Tony. Or even, what you have in stock. Either will work well, but do suggest you practice on a piece of scrap first.
Lorries reversed into the Goods yard through various entrances. This one was one of a couple that Scott's Mill used to pick up bags of loose grain.
It really is an impressive model. What are the overall dimensions?
The overall footprint is around 1200 x 550mm and this was taken from the original Dundalk engineers drawings. As stated earlier, some alterations were made to the roof when the height was greatly reduced in 1955. Over the years some arch openings along the side were built up with stone from the reducing work in an attempt to secure the building. The huge sheeted doors were pulled at night to close the rear and front access to the store interior.
It will make for a small shunting project but I believe, with only 2.8metres aavailable in total it will lend more towards a diorama than actual layout.
It has generated much interested locally from the few surviving GNRi staff in town. This pleases me more than anything.
Not surprised! A working diorama sounds good to me. Can see a lot of invites across the exhibition circuit - accurate, historical scenes like this are always popular and generate a lot of conversation, nostalgia etc.
It'll be great to see your UG slowly pushing vans in and out of it!
Took a step back today and primed the entire build with Halfords grey primer. The enamels were not taking to the plasticard very well.
Top level modelling. Great detail.
The local press are coming next week!
You asked about doing guttering in another thread, Tony. An effective compromise I have used for years is not to bother with hollow section guttering. It can barely be seen in 7mm scale, so must be pretty much invisible in 4mm.
Instead, use a strip of plastic of the right thickness and simply sand/file the front, visible edge to the profile you want. Make the strip wide enough so you can glue it to the wall, just below the roof, so it sticks out just below the tiles, slates etc. Where the ends of this guttering are visible, profile both sides of the strip, though you only need to do a couple of cm against the wall side. The rest can't be seen.
Simple and effective, because the square, rear edge of the strip is easily glued to the wall and the underside will not be seen from any normal viewing angle.
All Arigna Town buildings and those on Fintonagh have been done this way.

Roxanne Reid is an award-winning travel author, blogger and photojournalist who writes about her travels through much of Southern and Eastern Africa. This month, she put together a helpful list of destinations in Africa she thinks make for a great Safari Honeymoon in Africa: Romantic Breaks for Nature Lovers. Included are the Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, Sossusvlei, Victoria Falls, Kruger National Park, and, of course, the great and much loved Okavango Delta.
A bit lower in price (though it still helps if you're paying in dollars or Euros in this high-value, low-impact destination) is Gunn's Camp overlooking Chief's Island. Take a dip in the pool, watch one of Botswana's arresting sunsets, enjoy a private dinner on your balcony overlooking the Delta's pristine waterways, step into the freestanding bath or take a romantic shower in the great outdoors.
Things to do in the Okavango Delta include game drives, bush walks and lounging by the pool. Some camps will organise a romantic bush breakfast or Out-of-Africa lunch on an island. Two of the most magnificent activities here are to see the Delta from air as you fly in to camp and to drift silently along the waterways in a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) to get close to water lilies and small creatures like birds and frogs, maybe even watch some elephants.
Contact us to plan, book and experience your dreamy safari honeymoon in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve or Chobe National Park.

Lakes of Kumaon Circuit
Destinations Covered : Naini Lake, Nal Damayanti Tal, Sat Tal, Bhimtal, Khurpa Tal, Naukuchiya Tal
Kumaon is home to several lakes which have both natural and cultural significance. Nainital presents a vision of a wondrous water body at an altitude of 1938 msl situated on the southern extremity of the Himalayan Zone. The center piece of this valley is the Naini Lake, a natural crater lake fed by underwater springs and streams that flow into it from the surrounding mountains. The surplus water exits from the eastern side of the lake forming the principal source of the Bhaliya Naula (or stream). It is said that when Lord Shiva's father-in-law Daksha invited everyone else for a sacrificial ceremony but did not invite Shiva, his daughter Sati still attended it. On finding that no sacrificial offering had been made in her husband's name, she leapt into the sacrificial fire and her charred remains were carried by her enraged husband. It is at this time that her left eye dropped (at a place called Smuggler's Rock near the lake) and this became the area of Goddess Narayani or Naini who lends the town its name.
Close by is the Nal Damyanti Tal. The fishes of this lake are believed to be a blessing in the area and there are two colourful fishes in particular which are said to be the souls of King Nal, the ruler of Ayodhya, and his wife Queen Damyanti. The story of Nal-Damayanti is narrated in the epic Mahabharat, which says they were a royal couple in love. It is believed that their love story is set in the banks of this lake and hence the name.
The lake is considered auspicious by the locals. The Nal Damyanti tal is a part of the seven lakes of the Sattal The names of these seven Lakes are Purna Tal, Nal Damyanti Tal, Ram Tal, Laxman Tal, Sita Tal (named after Legends of the epic Ramayana), Sukha Tal (Formerly named 'Khudariya Tal' but renamed Sukha Tal meaning 'Dry Lake' since it has almost dried up), Garud Tal (named after the mythical bird-like creature that rides the Chariot of Lord Vishnu).
Another lake is the Bhimtal which is not only known for its lake named after Pandava prince Bhima but also places like Hidimba parvat (named after Bhima's wife) and churches on the Bhimtal-Bhowali and Bhimtal-Sattal road. A 12-kilometer drive on the Bhimtal-Bhowali road gets one to the St. Gemma Galganic Catholic Church, built in 1972. Maria Gemma Umberta Galgani was an Italian mystic who was given sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. She was beatified in 1933 and canonized in 1940. Popular in Italy and Latin America, she is the patron saint of students and pharmacists, her father being one!
Seven kilometers from Bhimtal on the Sattaal road is the Old Methodist Church. The beautiful church with a green roof and white Gothic arches, surrounded by tall deodars, is part of the Christian Ashram established by Methodist evangelist E. Stanley Jones in 1930.
The tryst with the lakes of Kumaon continues at Khurpatal, a lake surrounded by lush green farmlands and frequently visited by those interested in angling. Angling, paragliding, fishing, rowing, paddling or yachting also takes place at Naukuchiatal or the lake of nine corners. It is believed that Naukuchiatal was created after Lord Brahma performed hard meditation. Hence, it also has a temple nearby dedicated to Lord Brahma.

I have tried to send the values using post and create some php rules by its not working as it should.
Several people adiced me to do this with JSON, but i have no ideea how to do this.
Of helps the Instruction for this API system can be found at : www.hotelspro.com/xf_4.0/HotelsPro_XML_booking_system_4_1.doc

A:
Several people adiced me to do this with JSON

Well, might be they did but you should keep things much more separated here if you're looking to solve this with more ease.
What you do with the HTML form and how you submit the data (either via the classic submit button resulting in a HTTP POST request to the server or by using some javascript code that takes the form data and creates a HTTP POST request to the server) is not so much an issue on how to interact with the remote API.
Take this sentence of yours for example in which you describe your problem:

I have tried to send the values using post and create some php rules by its not working as it should.

Given that there are two major parts in the application (most likely there are three, next to input (1) and processing (2) there is also output (3)), you have to locate the where the problem occurs first.
For example: The input UI/routines might not yet be 100% perfect (hat is in input (1)), but creating the wrong intermediate data formats in processing (2) does already count as an error on it's own. It's not that a possible wrong input from (1) is the problem, but that processing (2) is not able to detect that.
So now looking in input (1) to solve a problem in processing (2) is not often working well, because too often you're looking at the wrong place.
So first mock the input (just set the variables as you need them) and check if interacting with the remote API works as expected.
This should also ensure that you don't get distracted only because somebody shipped just another new term to you which only creates more question marks.

news, federal-politics,
Communications Minister Paul Fletcher has ruled out any chance of Telstra buying the National Broadband Network and nixed hopes of a cut to wholesale prices to ease pressure on the listed telco's profits. Telstra has been battling falling profits amid fierce competition in both the mobile and fixed line markets. As part of a broader turnaround effort, it last year created a division called InfraCo, which houses the infrastructure it leases to the NBN including pits and ducts. The move positioned Telstra to strike a significant deal with the taxpayer-funded network, or even acquire it. Telstra chairman John Mullen said at the time it would provide the government a possible "solution" should it choose to privatise the NBN Co once the rollout was finished. But the plan has now been dealt a blow with Mr Fletcher saying the policy structure of the NBN Co meant a business like Telstra would not be able to own the wholesale network. "A clear feature of the policy structure is that NBN cannot be owned by a vertically integrated telco. In other words, somebody who delivers retail telecommunications services cannot own NBN. That's baked into the legislation," Mr Fletcher said, adding the rules were there for "good public policy reasons". He said the government needed to ensure the owner of a wholesale network did not also supply retail services. "I don't see any scenario in which the very clear legislative restriction on the NBN being owned by a company which is also a retailer of telecommunications services is changed. I don't see any prospect of that restriction being changed." The managing director of telco and digital consultancy Venture Insights, Nigel Pugh, said he was "surprised the Minister made that comment" as there were several steps to be followed in order to sell the NBN, including a Productivity Commission review. While the legislation does limit retail service providers, he said InfraCo would not necessarily fall into this category. "As a combined company it might not be allowed but as a separate standalone business it might work," he said. "Why should there be [any] concern if InfraCo is a completely separate company?" Mr Fletcher, a former Optus executive, moved to cool suggestions the NBN could be quickly sold by the government when the rollout of the $51 billion network is completed next year. "While the network rollout will complete next year, in my judgment we're still quite some way away from looking at any change to ownership," he said. Mr Fletcher, also poured cold water on Telstra chief executive Andy Penn's hopes for a reduction to the prices the NBN Co charges retail service providers. Mr Penn said in February that a Labor government, which had been widely expected to win the Federal Election, may bring a "more sensible" approach to NBN pricing and help relieve pressure on profit margins. Telstra and other telcos have complained it is difficult to make a profit reselling the NBN. "I believe that there is an opportunity with a change of government to try and see if we can get some policy change on the economics of NBN and ultimately give the opportunity for a more sensible pricing regime," Mr Penn said at the time. The comments were met with scepticism from rival network bosses and renewed analyst speculation about whether the government would need to writedown its investment in the network if lower prices were charged. But Mr Fletcher vowed to leave pricing decisions up to the taxpayer-funded network's executives. "What I think is the sensible approach is for the board and management of NBN Co to make pricing decisions having regard to, first of all, the regulatory requirements on them, which are designed to ensure that they don't misuse monopoly power," Mr Fletcher said. "If you're building out a monopoly fixed line broadband network ... you need to make sure there's a regulatory framework which controls the pricing that can be set, and indeed there is. So the first thing they need to do is comply with those regulatory requirements," he said. Ensuring the business was sustainable and keeping a close eye on the take-up of broadband services were the main considerations of the NBN Co when deciding on pricing, he said. The NBN is currently reviewing its prices with a focus on attracting households which have chosen not to connect. Telstra declined to comment.

"While the network rollout will complete next year, in my judgment we're still quite some way away from looking at any change to ownership," he said.
Mr Fletcher, also poured cold water on Telstra chief executive Andy Penn's hopes for a reduction to the prices the NBN Co charges retail service providers.
Mr Penn said in February that a Labor government, which had been widely expected to win the Federal Election, may bring a "more sensible" approach to NBN pricing and help relieve pressure on profit margins. Telstra and other telcos have complained it is difficult to make a profit reselling the NBN.
"I believe that there is an opportunity with a change of government to try and see if we can get some policy change on the economics of NBN and ultimately give the opportunity for a more sensible pricing regime," Mr Penn said at the time.
The comments were met with scepticism from rival network bosses and renewed analyst speculation about whether the government would need to writedown its investment in the network if lower prices were charged.
But Mr Fletcher vowed to leave pricing decisions up to the taxpayer-funded network's executives.
"What I think is the sensible approach is for the board and management of NBN Co to make pricing decisions having regard to, first of all, the regulatory requirements on them, which are designed to ensure that they don't misuse monopoly power," Mr Fletcher said.
"If you're building out a monopoly fixed line broadband network ... you need to make sure there's a regulatory framework which controls the pricing that can be set, and indeed there is. So the first thing they need to do is comply with those regulatory requirements," he said.
Ensuring the business was sustainable and keeping a close eye on the take-up of broadband services were the main considerations of the NBN Co when deciding on pricing, he said. The NBN is currently reviewing its prices with a focus on attracting households which have chosen not to connect.
Telstra declined to comment.

Viewer Discretion Advised! Mass Amounts of Pollen! Learn About the Causes, Symptoms and Treatments of Hay Fever, Which Affects Many People in Japan!
What Is Hay Fever? If you're allergic to cedar pollen, just watching this video might cause you hay fever symptoms. The video, titled "スギ花粉の飛散 Cedar Pollen Dispersal ( Shot on RED EPIC High-speed )," is a super high-speed video that shows detailed footage of cedar pollen dispersing. It was created by "AQUA Geo Graphic." People with cedar pollen allergies show start to flare up just after watching some yellow cedar pollen be dispersed on TV commercials for anti-allergy medicine. It's said that there are currently 25 million people with hay fever in Japan. The most common form of hay fever is cedar hay fever, but the number of people who suffer from other types of pollens, such as cypress, ragweed, and birch pollens, has been increasing rapidly, and countermeasures for hay fever are needed throughout the year. Treatment of Hay Fever Photo:A woman blowing her nose Is there any treatment for hay fever, which causes painful attacks every year when the pollen season arrives? In short, the only way to treat hay fever at its root is sublingual immunotherapy for cedar pollen allergies. In this treatment, a weakened cedar pollen pill is placed under the tongue and gradually taken into the body, in an attempt to get the patient's body used to cedar pollen. The therapy takes more than 2 years and those who have severe hay fever attacks can have them during the treatment, so it's not an effective cure for all, but it's more than 60% likely to abate symptoms of cedar hay fever. For other types of pollen allergies, symptomatic treatment with medication or evacuation to pollen-free areas (Hokkaido and Okinawa) is necessary. Regarding anti-allergy drugs, the most effective ones are prescribed drugs, but over-the-counter drugs can be sufficiently effective as well if you act preemptively by using them before the pollen in the air is at its peak. The Causes of Hay Fever Photo:Cedar pollen Cedar pollen is called wind-borne pollen because it's dispersed by the wind. At the start of the video, you can see a large amount of pollen being dispersed by the wind on the branches of a cedar tree. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, evergreen coniferous trees (cedar and cypress) are native to Japan, and their straight wood, which is not distorted, is suitable for use as lumber for wooden buildings, so large scale cedar plantations were established to revitalize the forestry industry after World War II, which led to major outbreaks of hay fever. The name "花粉症, kafunsho" ('hay fever' in Japanese), was first coined in October 1963, when the existence of allergic symptoms caused by cedar pollen was identified and presented at the annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Allergology in the fall of that year. The size of cedar pollen is just smaller than a heliozoan and can be seen with the naked eye using an optical microscope. Each cedar flower contains about 400,000 pieces of pollen, so during strong winds, large amounts are dispersed. When Do Hay Fever Symptoms Appear? Photo:Hay fever symptoms The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Public Health has been providing pollen information since 1985, and nowadays, the Japan Meteorological Agency and private meteorological forecasting services provide forecasts for the start of pollen dispersal and pollen distribution throughout the year. You can also check pollen forecasts for plants other than cedar, cypress, and ragweed on the Internet, so if you have hay fever, be sure to stay up to date. Even after December, when peak pollen dispersion has passed, early spring hay fever may come straight after the cold and flus of the year, so be sure to take countermeasures, such as keeping your room humid, ventilate and clean frequently, wash your hands, and gargle. Summary of Cedar Pollen and Hay Fever Cedar pollen allergies, which were once thought to be endemic in Japan, have spread, and are now common worldwide. Tomatoes can also worsen hay fever, so we recommend avoiding them during hay fever season!
'War' - Japan's 2022 Kanji of the Year! Why the Kanji Was Chosen and Kanji From Previous Years
News Life & Business
Japan's Kanji of the Year for 2022: Video Introduction This video, titled "The Announcement for the Kanji of the Year for 2022 at Kiyomizudera Temple, Kyoto, Japan (December 12, 2022)" (京都・清水寺で2022年「今年の漢字」発表(2022年12月12日 京都市東山区)), was uploaded by "Kyoto Shimbun" (京都新聞). Every year around December 12, Japan's Kanji of the Year is announced. When the announcement is made each year at Kiyomizudera, a famous temple in Kyoto, it attracts a large crowds and media outlets from all across Japan and is broadcast live on the news, making it a well-known event. The powerful kanji written on Japanese paper and placed on a special stand on the stage of Kiyomizudera is both powerful and elegant. The time has come for the announcement of Kanji of the Year for 2022. For many people in Japan, it's a year-end tradition to watch the announcement. It's become a symbol of the year's end. So, without further ado, let's take a look at 2022's Kanji of the Year. The Kanji 戦 (Ikusa, 'War') and Why It Was Chosen Photo:The kanji for 'war' The Kanji of the Year for 2022 was announced on December 12, 2022. The Kanji 戦 (Ikusa), meaning "fight" or "battle," received 10,804 of the total 220,000 votes that were cast. The following is the list of kanji that came in places 2 through 10: 2. 安 (An, Stable/Calm); 3. 楽 (Raku, Comfortable/Peaceful); 4. 高 (Taka, High/Expensive); 5. 争 (Arasou, Conflict); 6. 命 (Inochi, Life); 7. 悲 (Hi, Grieve/Sadness); 8. 新 (Shin, New); 9. 変 (Hen, Change), 10. 和 (Wa, Peace/Harmony). This is the second time that 'War' has been chosen, as it was also chosen in 2001. What events in the year 2022 come to mind when you see this kanji? Themes that may come up when you hear the words "fight" or "battle" might be Japan's strong battle in the World Cup... However, that's not the reason why the kanji was chosen. According to the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation, the organizer of the event, the reason for 'War' being chosen is that the world was stunned while witnessing the horrors of the war caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and also because of the battle fought by people in their daily lives while trying to survive with a weakening yen and rising costs of living, as well as heated sports competitions. Where Japan's Kanji of the Year Was Announced and Why Photo:Autumn at Kiyomizudera Japan's Kanji of the Year is usually announced around December 12 every year. Now you might be wondering, "What's the significance of December 12?" Well, there's actually a good reason for this. December 12 is recognized as "Kanji Day" in Japan, and it's hoped that people will learn at least one kanji every year. Since the headquarters of the organizer, the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation, is located in Kyoto, the world-renowned temple Kiyomizudera is the setting for the presentation. Hopefully this helped you understand the significance of the date and location of this Japanese year-end tradition. When the 'Kanji of the Year' Tradition Began in Japan, Who Writes Them, and More! It's no exaggeration to say that the announcement of the Kanji of the Year is a year-end tradition, but, when did this tradition start exactly? The first Kanji of the Year was announced in 1995, 27 years ago. The Kanji of the Year is a one-character description of the year. The person in charge of writing the kanji is Seihan Mori, the chief abbot of Kiyomizudera Temple, who is also the chief priest in charge of the temple. The ceremony has been conducted by Seihan Mori since 1995, when it was first announced. The kanji is written by chief abbot Mori on the famous stage of Kiyomizudera. [Video] 0:00 - The Kanji of the Year Being Written Kanji of the Year From Previous Years Source :YouTube screenshot Here is a list of Kanji of the Year from previous years. 1995 - 震 (Shin, Quake/Tremble) The year 1995 was marked by a series of astonishing events. This kanji was chosen as a year of "trembling" due to natural disasters, such as the Great Hanshin Earthquake, and the Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack, as well as political turmoil. 1999 - 末 (Sue, End) In this year, which marked the end of the century, events that seemed like the "end of the world" occurred frequently. The Tokaimura Nuclear Accidents, police scandals, the collapse of the myth of bullet train safety, restructuring due to economic downturn, and many other seemingly "end-of-the-century events" occurred in this year. However, the character "End" was chosen in the hope that the following year will be a year of "Sue-Hirogari" (末広がり, Prosperity). 2005 - 愛 (Ai, Love) Despite the marriage and love (愛) of Princess Nori, the success of Expo 2005 Aichi (愛知), and the success of women named "Ai" (愛), the year was also marked by a number of incidents without love. While in Japan, people were taught the importance of both loving things close to them, and loving things on a global scale, 愛 (Ai, Love) was chosen because there were many incidents involving children and juvenile crimes where there was not enough "love." Photo:The Japanese era Reiwa 2019 - 令 (Rei, Order/Decree) In this year when a new emperor acceded to the throne and a new era began, it can be said that the Kanji of the Year expressed people's joy at the dawn of a new era as well as their hope for brighter days. The character 令 (Rei, Order/Decree) was also chosen due to events related to order, such as the revision of laws and regulations and compliance with laws and regulations among other things. 2021 - 金 (Kin, Gold) Up until this point, the character for "gold" had been selected three times. Its selection in 2021 marked the 4th time it was selected, making it the most selected since the tradition began. Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics were held a year late, with many Japanese athletes winning gold medals. They provided courage and inspiration not only to the people of Japan but also to people around the world. It was also selected because of milestones reached in various fields and money-related topics, such as the announcement of a new banknote. Despite the fact that the Kanji of the Year is in the news every year, many people don't know they can actually participate in the tradition. How Are Japan's Kanji of the Year Chosen? This year's Kanji of the Year will be chosen by the general public from all over Japan. Submitted kanji will be used as candidates, and the kanji with the most submissions will be selected and announced at Kiyomizudera around December 12. The application process is very simple: access the website of the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation and cast your voter using the Kanji of the Year Application Form. Postcard submissions are also accepted, so you can submit your entry through the application boxes located in bookstores and libraries throughout Japan, at Kiyomizudera, and the Japan Kanji Museum & Library in Kyoto. The submission period is usually from November 1 to around December 5. You can submit any kanji you like. If you're interested in participating in 2023, give it a shot!

The Kanji of the Year is announced on or around December 12 every year. If you decide to participate your kanji might even be chosen! Now that it has become a year-end tradition in Japan, the Kanji of the Year is an event loved by many people. For many people it's fun trying to guess what the kanji will be for that year!

Adorable Japanese Weasels Caught on Camera! See Them Swimming, Relaxing, and Playing in Their Natural Habitat in the Great Outdoors!
An Introduction to Japanese Weasels! The video「二ホン イタチ(mustela itatsi) カワウソのような泳ぎ・素早い走り Japanese Weasel-Swimming and running Donnola -nuoto e corsa」, was created by "AndreaNature." The Japanese weasel (Mustela itatsi) is a mammal similar to the Japanese otter, and is endemic to Japan. Their body size ranges from 27 to 37 centimeters in length for males and 16 to 25 centimeters for females, with a weight range of 290 to 650 grams for males and 115 to 175 grams for females. Their fur is a brownish-red to a yellowish-orange, and it belongs to the genus Mustela in the family Mustelidae. It is similar to the masked palm civet or the Japanese marten in appearance, and makes squeaking sounds. Its average lifespan is 1.9 years. You wouldn't be able to tell that something so cute was so vicious, just by looking at it. A Look at the Endangered Japanese Weasel Source of photo :YouTube screenshot This video was shot in Moriya city, Ibaraki, in Japan's Kanto region. In this video, we see the Japanese weasel swimming under ice starting around 1:05, swimming in the water around 1:33, and running wildly about at 3:05. The Ecology of Japanese Weasels Source of photo :YouTube screenshot Japanese weasels don't hibernate, and are active throughout the year. They use holes and crevices as nests, but they generally just prefer any sort of hole, regardless of it being their den. Japanese weasels are solitary animals that are active during the day and night. They live near bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and bogs, and are excellent swimmers thanks to their webbed hands and feet. At around 1:35 in the video, they can be seen swimming about, just like otters. They eat meat but also eat plants as well, making them omnivorous. Japanese weasels were introduced to Tokyo as a form of pest control. Its natural predators are birds of prey such as hawks and owls, and mammals larger than the Japanese weasel, such as foxes and cats. Japanese weasels didn't originally inhabit in Hokkaido. However, they were unintentionally brought there by ships that some Japanese weasels had snuck onto, and landed in the region. Most of the Ezo weasel (Ezo Itachi, エゾイタチ) species in the literature refer to the Ezo Okojo (Mustela erminea Orientalis), which is a slightly smaller species than the Japanese weasel. The Non-Native Siberian Weasels (Mustela Sibirica) Photo:Japanese weasels Siberian weasels were also introduced to the Honshu region as non-native animals. They used to only inhabit Tsushima in Japan's Kyushu region, but after the Manchurian Incident, it was introduced to Japan and raised for fur production. Unfortunately, Siberian Weasels won the competition for survival against the Japanese Weasel and expanded their territory. Therefore, Japanese weasels are listed on the IUCN Red List as a near threatened species and as endangered species in both Saga prefecture and Osaka prefecture. They are also designated as a game animal by Wildlife Protection and Hunting Management Law. There are three major differences between Japanese weasels and Siberian weasels. The first one is the tail. Siberian weasels have a longer tail (about 21 cm) than Japanese weasels. The second is weight. Siberian weasels weigh twice as much as Japanese weasels do; the largest ones can reach sizes up to 850 grams. Third is body color. Siberian weasels are more yellowish than Japanese weasels, and Japanese weasels have grey hair around their eyes. Summary of the Japanese Weasel Source of photo :YouTube screenshot What'd you think about the Japanese Weasel? Although this animal is indigenous to Japan, it's difficult to see these days. We hope you enjoy the rare footage of these cute critters!

The Amazing Teamwork of Japanese Honey Bees as They Fight off an Invading Hornet! Take a Look at Their Ferocious Counterattack!
Hornets V.S. Japanese Honey Bees This video is titled "Small Japanese Honeybees Unite to Repel an Invading Hornet|Nat Geo" (スズメバチを撃退するニホンミツバチ | ナショジオ). The video is produced by "National Geographic." To repel the wasps, which are several times larger than they are, the Japanese honeybees use a special technique in which they cover the body of the wasp and quite literally cook it alive. Please enjoy the awesome footage shown in the video! Japanese Honey Bees Photo:A honey bee The Japanese honey bee is an insect of the order Hymenoptera and family Apidae. It is a living species that has been inhabiting Japan since ancient times. In addition to Japanese honey bees, there are other types of bees, including the dwarf honey bee and giant honey bee. These bees help pollinate flowers and grasses and make wax from the pollen in their nests in trees and under houses. The flower nectar has been processed and sold for a long time as products such as honey, propolis, and royal jelly. Most Japanese honeybees live in the wild, and those that are kept in captivity are released into the wild to collect pollen and take it back to their hives. The non-native honey bee species, the western honey bee, often helps with pollination in agriculture. Japanese honeybees live in large areas of Japan and can be seen all over Japan, excluding Hokkaido, Okinawa, and some remote islands. In addition to living in the mountains, they can also be found in urban areas, and although they are said to be endangered, the Japanese are very familiar with them. Also, unlike the hornet, the Japanese honeybee has a warm personality and is famous for not stinging people often. Combined with their cute appearance, they have a good reputation in foreign countries. You don't need a special license to keep them, and anyone can do so, provided they file the proper documents. Japanese Hornets. How They're Different From Honey Bees Photo:Adult hornets While Japanese honeybees feed on the nectar of flowers, adult hornets feed on nutrients secreted by their larvae. The larvae feed mainly on insects, and capture and feed on smaller insects such as honey bees in order to grow. These differences in feeding habits are due to differences in the body structure of the adult hornet. Adult hornets have a narrowing between their chest and abdomen, which prevents them from ingesting solids, such as insects. It's also very different in that the larvae of the Japanese honey bee makes honey, whereas the larvae of the wasp does not. Hornets V.S. Japanese Honey Bees - The Showdown Source :YouTube screenshot As you can see from the video at 0:13, hornets often attack honeybees to feed their young. In particular, the giant hornet is so ferocious that it invades the nest of bees and attacks not only adult bees but also larvae and pupae. The bee's response to such an attack is the killer heat ball that can be seen at 0:24 in the video. This takes advantage of the weakness of the hornets, as we all know bug types are weak to fire. The bees, rather than using their stingers, form up on the hornet, attaching themselves to it and creating a ball of bees. In the video, 500 Japanese honey bees can be seen covering the hornets. The internal temperature of the Japanese honeybee rises to 47.2° C (117° Fahrenheit), and the increase in carbon dioxide repels the hornets. Summary of Honey Bees V.S. Hornets Did you enjoy learning about the fierce war between honey bees and hornets? The amazing counter attack of the bees shows just how amazing nature is!

How to Clean and Dry a Tent After Camping in the Rain! Useful Tips and Appliances for Camping in Japan!
Enjoy Camping Even During Japan's Rainy Season Japan has four distinct seasons, each of which has its own variety of natural beauty to enjoy, such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. However, after spring comes the rainy season, otherwise known in Japanese as "tsuyu." Camping is experiencing a big boom in Japan right now, and so, in this article, we'll introduce how to clean up when it rains during a camping trip. Video Introduction: How to Clean Up After Camping in the Rain and Useful Appliances Photo:Camping in the rain This video, titled "How to Clean Up After Camping in the Rain and Useful Appliances" (雨キャンプ後のテント片付けと、便利な物を紹介), was uploaded by "HIRO channel," a channel focused on introducing various camping-related videos. Have any of you ever had the experience of being rained out during a camping trip? Tents are already a pain to pack up and clean, but this is especially true if it rains when camping. Mud and dirt get stuck to your tent and other equipment making it a hassle to clean. Perhaps you don't even want to try camping in the rain because of how difficult it may seem. Well, this video will show you how to easily clean up your tent and tarps after camping in the rain, as well as some useful tips to make cleaning your camping gear easier. Be sure to check out this quick 10-minute video to learn how to easily clean up and maintain your tents and other equipment. What to Do When It Rains While Camping Photo:A campground In Japan where it's said to rain on average about once every three days, it's not uncommon that the weather turns to rain on the day you're going camping. Thus, although not mentioned in the video, we'll first introduce a few measures to take when camping in the rain. First, when camping in the rain, be careful where you set your tent up. Avoid camping near rivers and set up your tent on gravel or other areas with good drainage. Next, when setting up your tent, hang the tarp first, then the tent. This creates a space to keep out the rain and makes the process go more smoothly. If it's raining when you're packing up to leave, we recommend putting the tarp away last. In addition, to combat the rain, tents and tarps should be coated with a water repellent to keep rainwater off them, which will make your job easier when it comes time to take them down. Finally, place a sheet under the tent to combat the rain. This will prevent water and dirt from getting into your tent and make cleanup easier. Knowing the above measures will help you safely enjoy a camping trip even in the rain. Pack It in a Dry Bag and Head Home Source :YouTube screenshot Cleaning up a tent after camping in the rain can be very difficult. It can be especially difficult to take home a tent that is covered in dirt or sopping wet. That being said, if your tent or tarp is large and you have a lot of stuff, pack it wet in dry bag, such as the "Coleman 110L Dry Bag." The large capacity makes it very convenient, especially when compared to carrying several smaller garbage bags made of thicker material. Rinse With Water After You Get Home When you arrive home, first wash your tent or tarp with water. The dirt will be even harder to remove once it dries, so it's important to wash it before the dirt has a chance to dry. After washing off the dirt, hang the tent outside in a covered area, such as under the eaves of your roof or on a balcony, or inside in a bathroom. Dry in the Sun or With Convenient Appliances Source :YouTube screenshot Once water is no longer dripping from the tent/tarp, allow it to dry. Make sure to dry it thoroughly, as, if not properly dried, mold can start to grow. As for drying, if the weather is good, dry it in the sun. If it's difficult to dry in the sun due to rain, a clothes dryer or futon dryer can be used. If you put a washed tent or other items in a drying bag, a tent will dry in about 4 hours. If you place a sheet or mat on or under the bag, you can kill two birds with one stone by drying them together. Even if not directly wet from the rain, sleeping bags and other items may be damp as well, so we recommend that you dry them in a bag made for drying bedding. This is a really handy trick for cleaning up after a rainy camping trip. And That's How You Handle Camping in the Rain As shown in the video, the first thing to do when you finished camping during a rainy camping trip is to quickly bring back the we gear and dry them thoroughly after rinsing them with water. In addition, if you make use of some convenient household appliances, cleaning up after a rainy camping trip will be a breeze. If you've had a bad experience camping in the rain and felt discouraged from going camping because of the cleanup, consider trying these methods to help make your camping trip one to remember!
