The incredible real life story of The Elusive Samurai The Elusive Samurai from CloverWorks has been hailed as one of the highlights of the summer anime season Based on a manga of the same name by Yusei Matsui it tells the story of Hojo Tokiyuki — a young samurai noble with a near superhuman ability to flee and dodge attacks — as he tries to avenge his clan after they were betrayed by a trusted general Because of its fantastical elements and a bold mixture of comedy and outlandishly gruesome violence it might surprise some to hear that The Elusive Samurai is based on fact and while the anime does get a lot of details right about him there are still some things that the show skips over which resulted in the end of the Kamakura Shogunate The Hojo were once the de facto rulers of Japan, thanks in no small part to the Nun Shogun their power dwindled and they faced growing opposition from Emperor Go-Daigo and later their turncoat general Ashikaga Takauji The near total slaughter of the Hojo clan in 1333 spelled the end of the Kamakura period and paved the way for the Muromachi period (1336–1573) It was a turbulent time that saw the creation of the Ashikaga shogunate and the establishment of two opposing imperial courts Many modern accounts of this time don’t mention him at all I’ve made it clear that Tokiyuki’s special talent is his skill in running away… because I thought that was not historically wrong.” it’s owned by the Imperial Household Agency and is considered one of the Tenka-Goken — the Five Greatest Swords in Japan Tokiyuki is said to have never parted with Onimaru but was ultimately forced to leave the sword behind in truly gruesome circumstances While retreating from Ashikaga forces in 1335 the Hojo vassal who took Tokiyuki in after the death of his family and helped him raise an army He’s also one of the main characters in the anime so consider this a spoiler warning The story goes that Yorishige and his retainers committed seppuku and had their faces peeled off by the last member of their suicide party Some sources go as far as to claim that they peeled off their faces themselves The point was to obscure their identity and thanks to the presence of Onimaru near the corpses convince the enemy that Tokiyuki was among the faceless dead giving the elusive samurai more time to escape The sword later became one of the regalia of the Ashikaga shoguns said to be where Tokiyuki Hojo was executed Tokiyuki’s fight against imperial forces during the aftermath of Takauji’s betrayal was meant to restore the Kamakura government Tokiyuki took the city back in 1335 and was ready to start ruling Since his clan was no more and he was never officially named regent like his father his time in Kamakura isn’t considered a continuation of the Hojo’s rule And because he was later driven out of the city (resulting in the loss of Onimaru and Suwa Yorishige’s close shave) a tiny link between the Hojo and the later rule of Emperor Go-Daigo and the Ashikaga shogunate And we do mean tiny because Tokiyuki only spent about 20 days in Kamakura before retreating It’s why this whole episode is sometimes called the “20-Day Period.” but as a servant of Emperor Go-Daigo to whom he submitted after Ashikaga Takauji rebelled against the imperial court Go-Daigo continued his fight against the Ashikaga but lost so badly he was the last emperor to hold

You may have seen my article on the Worst Mothers in Final Fantasy following the release of Final Fantasy XVI we’ll have some spoilers ahead for several Final Fantasy games over the years because heaven forbid his daughter be in a relationship with a bard When Anna takes some arrows intended for Edward to save him but not before hearing her father call her fiancé a spoony bard Then he dedicates the rest of his time to revenge and so Gau was left alone in the wilderness because Gau’s dad hated his son so much for apparently killing his wife when Gau meets his father for the first time but Gau is surprisingly chill and just glad that his father’s okay we had Lucrecia on the list before for using her unborn child for an experiment but let’s never forget the truly worst father of all time: Professor Hojo you could say that Hojo is just an atrocious human being of which Vincent Valentine is the leading member of his hate club but Sephiroth wouldn’t even call Hojo his father but the guy spent his son’s entire life using him as an experiment and saying his mother is Jenova Sephiroth went a wee bit homicidally manic but their relationship was pretty damn strained and instead opts to join a freedom-fighting organisation against the exact government he works for you have to wonder what went on behind the scenes and just how neglectful he was that his daughter doesn’t acknowledge him at all if you ever hear that a character in Final Fantasy was created by someone through unnatural means then it probably means there wasn’t anything good going on Zidane was created by Garland to specifically destroy Gaia Considering Garland is also an antagonist of Final Fantasy IX you know that there’s no love lost between our hero and his birth father It’s something that Tidus never lets anyone forget so we knew he would have to be on the list we all know that Jecht was secretly proud of his son Maybe you should have told Tidus that when you were around we won’t go into too much detail about Jecht since we all know what he was like you know that’s not a good mix for a good relationship with your kids he wasn’t a fan of his father’s insane plans and gave up his career as a Judge to roam the skies and change his name because that’s how much he started to hate his father but considering the extent to which Balthier went to get away from him Final Fantasy XV isn’t a game that’s rife with daddy issues But good fathers are still hard to come by in Final Fantasy Verstael is another mad scientist who made a clone of himself he made Prompto as a clone to become a Magitek soldier for Niflheim when Prompto got older after getting kidnapped away from him to live a normal life Verstael was notably unimpressed that Prompto wasn’t a daemon I originally wanted to choose that guy who has a “dog” that he pretends is attacking his son to kill bearers Sylvestre Lestrage went so far as to kill Dion’s biological mother to ensure no one knew that he wasn’t the Queen’s son and if you’ve read my Worst Mothers in Final Fantasy article it’s not Final Fantasy XVI without crippling depression have I missed out any fathers who should’ve been on the list Writing about all sorts like a liquorice allsort Who to help and team up with during the fight on the beach in FF7 Rebirth Choosing who to help on the beach in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will determine how the boss battle in Costa del Sol plays out Helpfully, this boss battle on the beach will play in much the same way whoever you pick, with the only difference naturally being who you are fighting alongside, and which party members won't be in the fray with you thanks to Hojo's schemes putting them temporarily out of action in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth The main reason to choose either pairing depends entirely on who you want to bond with Your relationship will change with the characters you choose to help and the choice will contribute to your bond with them The pair you don't select will also get taken temporarily by the boss You'll be going up against the robotic Grasptropod which has plenty of health to whittle down so you could also factor in who you consider to be the better pairing for support in combat who you choose to help on the beach is really all about which characters you want to develop your relationship with which will feed in to your Gold Saucer date decision later in the game and continued

fairly easy for designers with most of the structural elements in place The Palatine building was first designed by Chicago-based design firm Fitzgerald Architects Associates and the firm was also tapped for the conversion project the designers working on the project weren’t aware their firm was the original designer until the project got underway “We went into the job not knowing that,” Rick Whitney architect-in-charge of the project at Fitzgerald says of the firm’s history with the building It was really exciting to see that and the original design.” While the project offered many advantages in its easy conversion to a permanent living space overcoming the building’s history has proved to be an ongoing challenge changing the image of the building within the Palatine area where it had been a well-known hotel site for several decades executive director at The Grand at Twin Lakes People still come by to see if they can rent a room.” One of the ways Mustardini has been working to change the community’s view of the space is by distributing flyers of the community’s grand opening to virtually all local businesses in Palatine to get the word out she has invited neighbors who are 55 and older in the surrounding area to utilize parts of the community Directly surrounding the community are several condo buildings with a dense senior population and some neighbors have started to enjoy the community’s amenities The proximity with these condos also demonstrates one of the lease-up challenges though: The Grand at Twin Lakes is competing with numerous other living options in the area including the multi-family condominiums in its backyard The Grand is only 20% leased up with just eight residents fully moved in as of mid-October But Mustardini is confident occupancy won’t be a long-term problem What sets the Grand apart from its multifamily neighbors is its multiple dining rooms fitness center and movie theatre—amenities that aren’t standard in apartment buildings or even age-restricted housing “Part of why we liked what was built here is there is more common space than apartment buildings,” Whitney says “This is so much more than apartment buildings Ground-up buildings sometimes don’t have the space.” designers were limited to the size of existing hotel rooms when converting them into studios and one-bedroom apartments “The space limitations of a hotel room are a challenge and the bathrooms are small,” Whitney says the conversion process is relatively straightforward and combining two rooms into one larger apartment is an easy process that can add more space by eliminating one entry door The rooms at The Grand run from $2,600 per month for a studio to more than $3,500 per month for a one-bedroom apartment The rent also includes two meals per day at the community Attached to the building is also a space for four future retail shops which may soon include a doctor’s office and a pharmacy The retail spaces are still currently undergoing construction Converting hotel spaces into senior living with higher levels of care residents who want to age in place at The Grand can turn to the home health agency on site The building also has a home heath care agency on site and residents can age in place in their apartment all the way through hospice services if they choose In addition to the potential benefits of having a doctor next door the hotel’s design offered convenient accessibility for residents of a senior living community As the community continues to fill and more residents move in Mustardini hopes to keep the same intimacy the community currently has with its current group of residents who continue to help shape the community as it completes its transition from hotel to home “Every person who comes in has experiences and passions,” Mustardini says of the residents “Their passions have not diminished with age It’s not our job to run their life or their home just help them live it through their passions.” Written by Amy Baxter , Senior Housing News (SHN) is the leading source for news and information covering the senior housing industry. SHN is part of the Aging Media Network From A vintage postcard (circa 1930-1945) shows the HoJo's on U.S Howard Johnson's restaurants were the biggest chain in the country Their iconic orange roofs were fixtures of the American highway, beckoning hungry motorists to come and dine at HoJo's, as they were affectionately called. The ultra-dapper Don Draper dines at one location in an episode of Mad Men. At one point, the chain even sold a line of frozen foods Now, almost all of the restaurants are gone. One of the three last surviving Howard Johnson's eateries closed its doors yesterday in Lake Placid The restaurant was going nuts Tuesday as locals crowded in to get a last taste of fried clams or the "wonderful world of 28 flavors" of ice cream that HoJo's ads once boasted The Lake Placid HoJo's had been running since April 1956 It stayed strong even as the national brand faltered in the 1980s He had been keeping the Lake Placid HoJo's alive with long hours and help from his sons and we took care of business and this was our life," Butler says Michael Butler works the counter on the final day of business for a restaurant that opened in 1956 Mike Butler started working in the kitchen when he was 5 years old "I'd stand on the milk crates and butter the roll pans and get a quarter or something," he recalls Lake Placid's Howard Johnson's was a place you could bring a hockey team or a big family on a budget "It's a landmark — everyone has good memories," Politi says "I remember coming to the Friday night fish fry with my parents many The Butlers say they loved being part of the brand and part of this chapter of American life they're ready to step away from the restaurant business With the closure of this Howard Johnson's restaurant there are just two of the eateries left in the whole country — one in Lake George A version of this story first ran on North Country Public Radio Become an NPR sponsor by | Oct 20, 2022 | Disneyland Parks, Disneyland Resorts Staying at the Howard Johnson Hotel (HoJo) near the Disneyland Resort offers comfort just 10 years after Disneyland welcomed its first guests It’s been a fan-favorite hotel for tourists on vacation and for locals as a staycation destination Hojo offers so much for guests wanting the Disneyland experience at an affordable price The hotel is located at 1380 South Harbor Blvd making HoJo one of the closes hotels t to the Disneyland main gate It’s a 7-minute walk from the hotel to the park security station When we arrived at the HoJo we received a warm welcome from the friendly staff and experienced an easy check-in process We were given a helpful map of the grounds to find our way around You can expect a fun atmosphere with bright mid-century modern design and touches of Disney throughout the property Don’t miss the fun photo-op located on the property: A giant orange vacation chair that guests can climb and snap an iconic photo We were able to grab all our essentials at the convenience store called “Main Street Market” located inside Building 1 We stayed in building 2 (one of the newly renovated rooms) There’s a lot of counter space and outlets as well as USB ports The bathrooms have two sinks and a large vanity with great lighting you will find two extra comfy double-sized beds with nightstands and plenty of seating There’s a convenience station with an ice box you may have a view of the Matterhorn or the pool stay in the House of the Retro Future suite Walking into this room is like stepping into a time machine The suite was inspired by the House of the Future attraction designed with elements of 1960s aesthetics and a touch of modern conveniences throughout the room In DLR Magazine we will have a full review of the HoJo Hotel with tips to make the most of your stay To use the splash pad you must book a reservation on the HoJo website or scan the QR code just outside the pool area Guests must have a valid reservation for the day and time in order to enter the pool area and use the facilities you can also check out the surrounding area like the Anaheim Garden Walk just a short 15-minute walk with lots of shops If you’re looking for a quality stay at an affordable price- look no further than the Howard Johnson Hotel at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim Experience the beauty and wonder of Disney Parks delivered straight to your door with every issue of WDW Magazine enjoy exclusive member-only perks that make your membership even more magical: Enjoy complimentary access to the Rope Drop Guide app and more;
