perceive me with the negative stereotypes that come with those words: fake It almost seems forbidden to say it without contextualizing it.  I’m not going to sugarcoat my perspective and say the stereotypes are lies about sororities across the country because I cannot speak for other sororities after almost two years in my own sorority and being on the recruitment side I can confidently say that nothing about my friendships in my sorority is fake While I agree with the notion of social media the setups and some parts of recruitment being “fake,” labeling an organization as lacking depth and superficial are lazy stereotypes based on surface-level observations.  Especially since the rise of “Bama-Tok — the surge in TikTok videos of students going through recruitment at the University of Alabama — the talk of the town has been the “fakeness” surrounding the recruitment process.  formal recruitment at American University is a three-day event that takes place right before the spring semester The three days start with an orientation and are followed by “sisterhood day,” “philanthropy day” and “preference day.” All potential new members or PNMs — girls who wish to join a sorority for the first time — are invited to the first day depending on whether there is a mutual match between the PNM and the organization those going through recruitment may or may not be invited back A person would not be invited back if the organization felt a connection but the individual did not The rounds become longer and the conversations deeper as the days go on.  Given that I do not love the system and believe it takes more than a few minutes to get to know someone’s personality and values it is impossible to spend hours getting to know each of the hundreds of PNMs I can say there is genuineness in the conversations and their intentions despite their short time The recruiters are just as nervous to meet new members because we care and are looking for meaningful connections The limited time can lead to approaching deeper topics quicker and the vulnerability from both sides is very real so even if the PNM ends up committing to a different organization the few conversations that were had during the recruitment process can be the spark of a new friendship.  sororities also value a PNM’s commitment to academics philanthropy,service and leadership to determine a fit holistically it is easier to make authentic connections and holistic impressions at a school like American where Greek life has a smaller presence with fewer members with an emphasis on diversity and individuality that reflects the values of the AU campus.  makes it seem like the connections formed within it are transactional and only for appearances there are girls we click with and don’t click with but that is completely normal in any social group each member is genuine in their attempts to form closer bonds It seems forced because of the initial process of becoming a part of Greek life forming relationships from friendships to mentors The uniformity in sororities and the attempts to showcase the best parts of themselves on social media have the opposite effect by appearing to play “pretend” friends but once you can look past the traditions and structure of the organization I am lucky to say that I have created meaningful connections and have a great support system that always shows up for me in every way imaginable I know the friends I made in the organization will continue to be my closest friends.  It is difficult to reinvent the perception of sororities after the movies and stereotypes but I implore everyone to open their minds and see it from a different perspective and beyond the matching outfits and the events the real value comes from the connections and willingness to authentically get to know everyone.  Sara Shibata is a junior in the School of Public Affairs and School of Communication and a columnist for The Eagle.  Copy editing done by Luna Jinks

sat played his cards right,” Richards said of Shibata Richards said that Shibata is mentally and physically mature for a sophomore “He's so much fun to coach because he's excited about running,” Richards said “He reads books and asks me all these coaching theory things and is a real student of it Shibata is “super strong,” according to Richards He trains really smart and listens to pacing advice Richards is keeping expectations in check for Shibata but believes he could crack the top 10 at state The coach isn't as concerned about Shibata's times as he is about positioning for highly competitive races “He needs to be prepared for that kind of race,” Richards said so we need to think about practicing that kind of close because that's going to be something you need to call on.'

Shibata (MD, PhD) the question necessitates a more complex and detailed response “I was born in Kentucky and then moved to Japan when I was about 8 years old including my medical school education and my residency in otolaryngology,” Dr His interest in medicine began at a young age and with two older brothers who went to medical school it was hard not to follow in their footsteps (both of his brothers are now practicing doctors in Japan one an orthopedic surgeon and the other an anesthesiologist) Shibata’s interest in otolaryngology in particular actually originated in high school when he did an exchange program in Germany and stayed with a host family where the father was an otolaryngologist and spoke very highly of the field Shibata was drawn to the breadth of otolaryngology and the nuances of neuro-anatomy that he was exposed to during rotations Shibata continued his medical education in the United States after finishing his residency in Japan He realized that he was interested in conducting research in addition to practicing as a physician and in pursuing his career as a clinician-scientist he returned from Japan to the United States as a postdoctoral fellow in basic science research at the University of Michigan He then furthered his training by completing a second residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and a surgical fellowship in Neurotology at the world-renowned University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Shibata was drawn to becoming a clinician-scientist in part because of his curiosity and his desire to better understand why a certain medical intervention works in a given situation especially in the sub-field of otology (the anatomy and diseases of the ear): “There are a lot of unanswered questions in the field of otology and the current treatment options are often limited because of this knowledge gap.” There is an almost poetic beauty to the mysteries of the inner ear Shibata described it: “It’s simultaneously very fragile but also very robust a single base-pair point mutation in your DNA surgery using a small prosthesis can completely restore hearing–it’s very fascinating.” Receiving his secondary and post-secondary education in Japan Shibata’s perspective on the world at large and he appreciated that becoming a doctor could enable him to help people in a more globalized context Shibata is able to improve people’s quality of life and do something that allows them to feel better and in his research on hearing loss and regenerative gene therapy in the inner ear he hopes to make contributions that will have an even broader impact Shibata discussed how the auditory nerve is crucial for hearing and because the auditory nerve does not regenerate on its own in mammals this means that there are very few options for people who experience loss or degeneration of this nerve for various reasons “I’m looking for ways to regenerate the auditory nerve through reprogramming glia cells that can survive nerve damage,” Dr “If we’re able to figure out how to not just reprogram glial cells in a dish but to do it in vivo/in situ we could transdifferentiate glial cells into a new induced neuronal phenotype and possibly restore hearing.” In other words there might be a way to restore the auditory nerve which could have a monumental impact on combating hearing loss This ties back into why Dr. Shibata was so thrilled to join the USC Caruso Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in the first place As someone looking to pursue a career as a clinician-scientist “There aren’t a lot of places that actually have a robust cohort of talented scientists in the field of hearing research and I wanted to go somewhere that provided an environment/structure for that USC has a culture of embracing people who want to go the clinician-scientist route and the program at USC has a tremendous amount of growth potential.” Dr Shibata also enjoys the diversity of patients that he gets to see and especially appreciates his ability to serve Japanese-speaking patients (Los Angeles is the city with the largest Japanese population in the United States.) “Many of my older Japanese patients aren’t fluent enough in English to be able to convey the information that they would want to tell their doctors and by being able to speak to them in the language they’re most comfortable in it enables me to build more trust and rapport.” Dr Shibata’s philosophy as a physician is to treat patients as family to explain everything and have the patient decide what they want to do “This is what I would do for my dad or a family member,” Dr “The patient should get to be involved in the decision.” Dr Shibata is a shining example of how a globalized approach to medicine is oftentimes a more personalized approach as well Phone:

Takeshita was making the seventh defense of his title reign against Shibata who had last been seen in an AEW ring unsuccessfully challenging for Daniel Garcia's TNT Championship and the bout proved to be fairly competitive throughout in a meshing of power against technicality Shibata started with the advantage after a feeling out process locking in various holds and submissions before Takeshita

were fixed firmly on Ring of Honor on Honorclub Episode 89 The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) (w/Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) defeated Tom Mitchell & Trace Parker the Infantry shocked everyone by signing up with Shane Taylor Promotions This immediately helped them get a somewhat shady win over Spanish Announce Project which possibly signalled a heel turn for the group they have significantly less imposing foes in Mitchell and Parker who… well taking the greener wrestler to the woodshed quickly The Infantry’s newfound agression was on full display as Dean grabbed Parker from the outside Mitchell jumped in to help his partner and ate a Boot Camp but Parker was the legal man so the Infantry gave him a “Two To The Head” to pin him Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) defeated LSG & Shawn Donavan last week Serpentico and Angelico lost in dubious fashion to The Infantry and the laid-back duo looked to right the ship with a win over the first-time pair LSG has been popping up this year as part of the horribly-named Ace of Space Academy but professional Dax Harwood impersonator Donavan hasn’t been seen in ROH in over 5 years It was beef vs bean (string bean that is) as Angelico and Donavan kicked things off The shorter Donavan had the density of a dying sun so Angelico wasn’t able to get him off his feet allowing him to lock in the longest wrist lock I’ve ever seen Serpentico had to break it up from the top rope They were able to keep both Donavan and LSG on their heels and making sloppy mistakes LSG and Donavan got some decent work in against Serpentico but Serpentico’s speed was able to deke them out and bring in Angelico Angelico might be part snake the way he was able to slide and slither around LSG He locked him into a crazy hammerlock/abdominal stretch/airplane spin that caused him to tap out -ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty cut a promo from backstage who had entered the Pure Division for the first time last week in advance of their inevitable PURE Championship match in the future Spoiler: Moriarty does not think Taven will win Sammy Guevara (w/Dustin Rhodes) defeated Preston Vance the reigning ROH Tag Champions were called out confronted and then jumped by The Righteous They are looking to take those titles and being The Righteous they don’t care if they do it in a strictly “legal” way But it remained to be seen if they would cause some chaos in Guevara’s match with Vance Guevara gave up a bit to Vance in terms of muscle but right off the top Guevara’s speed had him in control That speed came back to bite him though as Vance caught him with a back elbow while he was running the ropes That didn’t slow Guevara down though as he took Vance to the outside a drove him in to the guardrails while Rhodes watched diligently for any sign of The Righteous As much fun as it was watching a guy named Vance get punched in the face it came to an end when Guevara hit a big cutter followed by a GTH for the win the lights got all weird and the sound of snapping was heard Vincent and Dutch were nowhere to be found though EJ Nduka & Lee Johnson defeated The Philly Marino Experience (Marino Tenaglia & Philly Collins) Now that Nduka and Johnson have officially joined forces it’s gotta make a lot of other teams in ROH nervous Especially The Philly Marino Experience (which sounds like a hip new Tapas spot by the way) who were making what appears to be their ROH Debut I’m sure it’ll work out great for them.  Johnson started the match against Tenaglia which was a nice matchup in terms of size and speed Johnson’s experience gave him the advantage though and he was able to keep Tenaglia off his feet and firmly in a chin lock Tenaglia didn’t burst into terrified tears He took a swing ot two and Nduka picked him up like a loaf of bread and threw him across the ring Collins tagged in and even though he had a bit more size punched and threw both of them around with ease Johnson tagged back in and hit a frog splash pinning what was left of Collins to get the win but Nduka needs to expand his move set a bit just to keep things interesting -ROH Women’s Champion Athena called an emergency MEM (Minion Empowerment Meeting) in the back Athena managed to barely hold onto her title against Abadon last week so she has some things to say to her MiT’s (Minions In Training) Athena said the she is ready to take on porcelain hussies all around the world While Lexy Nair has been loyal to the Forever Champion Starkz has been pretty moody and uninterested in helping the champion out Nair put Starkz in Minion Time Out and walked out after the champ Ellering has been trading fashion tips with Harley Cameron and this match is her return to the ROH ring for the first time since August Leyla Hirsch has had beef with Diamante for a long Diamante failed to capture the ROH Women’s TV Title a few weeks back but did pick up a win last week against Aminah Belmont Diamante had the adventage off the top because though she be wee as well as hold Diamante by the waist in a gut wrench suplex but telegraphed it and Diamante was ready with knees up Diamante’s mean streak was on display as the dragged Ellering’s face along the rope between turnbuckles Ellering caught Diamante with a huge back elbow and landed her Squish senton She raked the eyes while the ref couldn’t see and landed a huge DDT to make Ellering’s night a bad one Diamante called out ROH Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet who appeared in the ring and hit her with a big spinning kick Diamante retreated up the ramp while the two debated the places they were from Hirsch’s last match was the excellent Texas Death Match against Diamante at Death Before Dishonor back in July Or will she start the climb towards a bigger prize And will San Antonio get a surprise upset in her ROH Debut technical style and it looked like her injury hadn’t cost her a step San Antonio had a bit of a height advantage but Hirsch was fired up and managed get out of everything San Antonio threw at her Hirsch managed to catch San Antonio with a huge knee to the head and get the pin to win looking like she had never left in the first place Matt Taven responded to Lee Moriarty’s earlier promo Taven has won every title in ROH except the Pure title So Moriarty better be ready because Taven’s bringing it home to the Kingdom stomped down to the ring to face former Nightmare Family member Solo Solo has not won a match in ROH since April It almost seemed mean to put Solo up against Ishii had very little defence against the sheer strength and power of Ishii Every punch and attempt to send Ishii to the ropes was shrugged off Ishii unleashed the chops and Solo was lucky his lungs didn’t pop out Ishii tried to pin Solo off of a side suplex Solo tried to take the match to the air with a big double stomp from the top rope Ishii got Solo up and then brought him down with a big Brainbuster and got the pin -The Righteous headed out to the ring for a match and were immediately jumped by Rhodes and Guevara in payback for the attack by Vincent and Dutch last week Everyone seemed to forget that there was a match scheduled and the ROH Tag Champs Rhodes and Guevara stood tall as the Righteous exited up the ramp Nick Wayne (w/Kip Sabian & Mother Wayne) defeated Ryan Clancy Wayne has been making some noise for The Patriarchy in ROH recently this time bringing Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian with him A couple of weeks ago Wayne came out on top in a match against Brian Cook he’s up against (checks notes) “Fancy” Ryan Clancy Clancy ended up being a pretty decent bruiser wrestling a “classic” style and keeping up with Wayne in both speed and intensity Wayne had him beat in the posing department though After a very impressive flurry of Clancy offence Wayne picket up speed with a series of near falls Clancy responded with a few near falls of his own Wayne kicked out every time though while Mother Wayne looked on but Wayne pushed the Ref into the ropes causing him to fall Wayne hit a dragon suplex followed by a huge cutter from the corner to get the win -The Infantry and STP entered the ROH locker room backstage They were met byt 4 NPC’s dressed in black Taylor asked if they had seen Rhodes and Guevera Guevara and Rhodes have several targets on their backs now ROH Classic Match: ROH World Six Man Tag Team Title Match: Shane Taylor Promotions (Kaun Moses & Shane Taylor) vs MexiSquad (Bandido With Taylor and company hunting down the Tag and Six Man Tag belts in ROH it made sense to see this classic match from the Pandemic era of pro wrestling and Maria Kanellis joined the commentary team for this match and she added some really fun color It was a hard-hitting affair and definitely worth 9 minutes of your time AR Fox defeated Josh Woods (w/Ariya Daivari & Mark Sterling) Fox got his first ROH singles win three weeks ago against the one and only Jack Cartwheel He’s looking to add to those stats against the Premier Athlete and Very Large Dude but Wood’s teammates Daiavari and Sterling accompanied him to the ring while Tony Nese is still out relentlessly celebrating the birth of his twins.  Sterling added “flogging our new shirt” to his opening schtick as the Athletes came down to the ring in what can only be assumed was a move of protest came down to the ring with no shirt on at all Woods and Fox stood at about the same height but Woods had the upper pectoral in the muscle department Woods tried to keep things technical and on the mat where he excels Fox wasn’t used to that and he seemed confused as to how to proceed he settled on a headlock while he figured out his strategy Fox figured out he had the high-flying advantage and hit a big splash on the outside Fox tried to leap over a running Woods but caught his foot on his opponent and smashed his face into the match That gave Woods an opening to club a prone Fox Sterling got involved behind the Ref’s back and hung Fox up on the ropes for Woods to pick apart but Fox kicked out and spiked Woods on his head with a big second rope DDT The fight moved to the outside where Fox drove Wood’s head into the mat Fox went for a springboard from the top rope but hit his face on Woods’ knee on the way down but Woods attempted to knock him off the top rope The agile Fox rolled through though and hit a 450 splash to pick up the surprise win Then a wild Nick Wayne appeared and took Fox apart Fox and Wayne have a match coming up on Collision This match was taped way back in June of this year One can only assume it fell behind a filing cabinet or something The Butcher was making his ROH Singles debut here while his partner That’s because he’s very good at wrestling and hasn’t lost a match in ROH in 2024 Butcher had about 50 lbs and 6 inches on Shibata Shibata drove him into the corner off the top leading to Butcher moving into a more technical strategy It was a big risk taking on one of the best technical wrestlers in the world in his preferred style He drew Shibata out of the ring and then drove him into the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring!) Butcher’s powerful strikes kept Shibata on the ground and Butcher locked in a one-legged crab hold Shibata wrigged under the ropes to break the hold and sent Butcher to the corner to take a big double dropkick Butcher fought back and tried to set Shibata up for brain buster but Shibata countered and put on a sleeper hold followed by a big PK to put the Butcher down for good comics and pretty much anything else he can get his mitts on Pro Wrestling has always been his passion for reasons even he doesn't understand Tonight’s Homecoming edition of AEW Collision from Jacksonville will feature several champions in competition AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita will put his title on the line against Katsuyori Shibata in a first-time-ever meeting AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika

King vs We got pre-roll promos from The Patriarchy Tony Schaivone & Nigel McGuinness were joined by Jim Ross for this week’s show Samoa Joe (w/ Hook & Katsuyori Shibata) defeated Nick Wayne (w/The Patriarchy) Good to see Joe back in a fun opener to continue the Patriarchy/Hook & Friends feud This match was originally scheduled for Dynamite but Samoa Joe had travel issues due to winter weather The Patriarchy surrounded Joe before Hook & Shibata came out to ward them off Joe came back with the uranage in the corner but Wayne clawed at Joe’s eyes to avoid another Muscle Buster attempt Wayne hit a rolling Code Red for a nearfall and Joe laid out Wayne with a sick lariat before scoring with the Muscle Buster for the win We got a recap of the angle from Dynamite with Will Ospreay Champion Non-Title Match – AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada defeated ROH TV Champion Komander with Komander having another good showing against a top-line star in Okada Komander refused to shake Okada’s hand and used his pace to keep Okada off balance to start the match Komander hit a tope to the floor before Okada dropped him with a boot Komander came back with a step-up armdrag to the floor but got caught on a headscissors attempt on the floor and dropped with a DDT Okada tried to catch another headscissors attempt A wheelbarrow bulldog got Komander a nearfall but Okada cut off a

Lexy Nair who were interrupted by The Undisputed Kingdom Adam Cole came in and did the Boom with them Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) defeated Daniel Garcia This is the best way to rehab the Undisputed Kingdom after the MJF feud by having them earn back their cache in-ring A solid match here to build a few issues in the midcard with both teams getting quick tags in before Garcia laid out O’Reilly on the floor for a commercial break the former Jericho Appreciation Society members were laying into O’Reilly in the corner before O’Reilly fought to his corner Cole got the hot tag and traded shots with Garcia dropping him with a neckbreaker over the knee with Strong running wild with backbreakers O’Reilly and Strong laid out Menard with double forearms before pinning Parker with a Total Elimination Both teams shook hands after the match as Shane Taylor Promotions glowered at the scene at ringside upset that his partner and his mentor turned their backs on him last week He called himself a survivor and announced an Open Challenge Series daring people to step up to the Best Wrestler Alive There was a blink-and-you’ll-miss it tease for Hologram who has been out on paternity leave recently Dante was upset that Lio Rush & Action Andretti weren’t in the building noting that he never wanted Rush in the group to begin with Andretti had helped them out while Dante was hurt but Rush bailed on Dante when Darius got hurt prior to that Darius challenged Rush to a match and promised to send him packing again as it continues to evolve in a logical way and continues to keep these four talented guys on screen.) Mariah May & Toni Storm’s Face-To-Face and I still don’t really understand why Storm pretended to not remember anything But she got a big pop for the Timeless reveal and cut a good promo Tony Schiavone was in the ring to moderate the face-to-face between Toni Storm & Mariah May ready to get this s**t over with in her own words calling her a joke and a meme before promising to humiliate Storm in her hometown having followed her career from the UK to Japan to AEW Storm said that she wanted to be just like May and gave her a hug May reciprocated before slapping her in the face and laying her out with the title belt but Storm took the mic and asked why May thought she’d forgotten everything Storm got back into her Timeless Toni voice and disrobed out of her rocker clothes revealing that she was playing the role of herself and had given the performance of a lifetime Storm fired up and said that she would rip May apart in Australia as the crowd went crazy We got a preview of a long form interview with Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli with Renee Paquette Hounds of Hell (Brody King & Buddy Matthews) (w/ Julia Hart) defeated Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) King and Matthews can be a cornerstone team in a rebuilt tag division and can be a credible threat to the Hurt Syndicate moving forward King & Matthews came out with a new presentation and a new name as the Hounds of Hell Matthews and Liona started off before King and Liona traded big shots Kaun tagged in and helped Liona clubber on King in the corner Matthews tagged in and took the Gates to the floor before hitting a big dive into the commercial break The Gates were running wild as we came back dumping King over the timekeeper’s table before hitting a double tree slam on Matthews for a nearfall in the ring King made his way back to the corner and got the tag running wild on both Gates and hitting a DVD on Liona for a nearfall but Matthews hit a Meteora to take him out Matthews and King hit a corner cannonball/dropkick combination on Kaun for the win Big Boom AJ & Big Justice were backstage with Lexy Nair & Harley Cameron and Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie interrupted them all

the match and Sakazaki caught Purrazzo with a flash pin to win the title shot on Wednesday’s Dynamite The Hounds of Hell were in the back with Lexy Nair with Buddy Matthews saying they barked as one Kazuchika Okada was laughing at them off to the side Matthews challenged Okada to a title match with Okada giving him a middle finger in denial Matthews said that made Okada the bitch and walked off Hobbs came out and bumped a bunch of security guards to get to the ring Bill went after Hobbs’ knee and hit him with a backpack that contained a brick Bill punched Hobbs with the handcuffs and bloodied him up as they made their way to the announce table Hobbs came back and took Bill off the stage with a belly-to-belly off the stage through a table We got a pre-tape of the Don Callis Family meeting in Callis’ palatial estate Callis noted that this was a different Kenny Omega one that was bloodthirsty and ready to spill Callis’ blood Cage brought up how they had the numbers advantage as it was five-on-two but Callis reminded him that a barely focused Omega won three World Titles with Callis by his side Callis said that Cage was wrong that there were only five of them with the camera focusing on a sixth plate at the table AEW International Title Match – Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Katsuyori Shibata as Shibata took Takeshita to the brink with Daily’s Place red-hot for it Takeshita looked strong going into the big-time Grand Slam Australia tag match with Shibata almost scoring with the Penalty Kick but Takeshita fired out of the corner with a lariat Takeshita took Shibata over the barricade and went for a running boot but Shibata caught him with a boot and knocked him over a chair as we went to commercial Shibata hammered Takeshita in the corner as we came back from the break landing the hesitation dropkick and the half-hatch suplex for a nearfall but Takeshita came back with strikes of his own The two traded forearms before Shibata snatched on a sleeper hold Takeshita transitioned out of the sleeper into a Bastard Driver and a German suplex but Shibata hammered Takeshita with a Penalty Kick as the fans chanted AEW Shibata locked in the Cobra Twist as Don Callis went to ringside from the announce booth The two men traded suplexes before Shibata got the sleeper hold on again allowing Takeshita to counter the sleeper with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a one count Takeshita ran through Shibata with a lariat and the Powerdrive Knee before landing Raging Fire for the win Suit Williams has written about pro wrestling since 2017 and has reviewed Collision

become someone I was not.  After a grueling six months of not feeling like I was “enough” during my summer internship search I finally received an offer letter to be a newsroom intern in May My self-esteem was on the floor at that point I imagined countless worst-case scenarios of my internship being rescinded due to a mistaken offer letter.  regardless of a few blunders of pulling a push door or my inability to locate the office door chime I felt invincible and ready to conquer anything thrown my way.  Walking into the newsdesk — in a surprising twist — I was told they were not expecting a newsroom intern I could not get started until I received log-in credentials for a computer.  I spent the day shadowing and observing my new coworkers — how they spoke to each other the different ways each person dealt with stress their roles I assumed — writing it all down to quickly learn how the newsroom operated I thought it was best to keep to myself without bothering anyone but I regretted that later in the week.  finishing up her six-month trainee program I immediately sensed a shift in the energy from Grace’s presence from the hours I observed the day before She was not only amazing at her job but was everyone’s break from a stressful work environment through her laugh that echoed throughout the newsroom and the jokes she made at all the right times.  I could feel the imposter syndrome creeping back into my mind  Despite knowing of Grace’s months of experience I felt I could never be enough until I became the “new Grace.”  I also quickly learned that her last day was approaching seeing the disappointment and hearing the despair about her leave from coworkers made the pressure very real.  but seeing her be the polar opposite of my reserved personality made me mark everything about mine as a flaw.  I noticed myself striving to be someone I was not every day Although my job skills improved daily and I felt more comfortable in that aspect I could not shake the feeling that my personality — one that is not as extroverted and humorous as Grace — was lacking In a room full of outgoing and big personalities I was always taught about and experienced imposter syndrome in skills and achievements but it never occurred to me that it could be applied elsewhere I dragged on the weight of becoming her exact replacement with the arrival of a new intern with a completely different personality and so much to offer I realized the importance of growing from the influence of others rather than trying to become their replica.  Although I went through a period of attempting to imitate Grace’s every move I felt the positive impact she made on me since meeting her.  When I stopped trying to become my role model and learned from her instead I started to add to my sense of self instead of completely changing it but I have accepted that I just focus on perfecting every task I now go out of my way to talk to others and step out of my comfort zone to voice my opinions more to balance out my “seriousness.”  sometimes it is necessary to experience it to overcome it.  Difficult experiences can sometimes be labeled as unnecessary there is always a way to use such experiences to your advantage.  Sara Shibata is a sophomore in the School of Public Affairs and School of Communication and a columnist for The Eagle.  Copy editing done by Luna Jinks and Charlie

In the world of high-stakes investments, few accomplishments rival the successful mobilization of capital for ambitious, sustainable projects. The stakes in these ventures are exceptionally high: if an investment fails to deliver, it reflects poorly on both the investment firm and the client, who expected gains from the project. Yet, when such capital is effectively allocated, and the project thrives, the results can be remarkable. Tatiane Shibata stands out as a seasoned global infrastructure investment expert with nearly 15 years dedicated to dealing with execution, due diligence, asset management, and fund underwriting. Her transactional experience spans sectors such as renewable energy, energy transition, power distribution, transmission, and digital infrastructure across regions including North America, Latin America, and Europe. Today, we will delve into some of Tatiane's most significant projects, including supporting the formation of the $15 billion Brookfield Global Transition Fund (BGTF I), the largest private fund dedicated to net-zero initiatives. Additionally, we'll explore two key transactions Tatiane and her team at IMCO successfully executed: a $500 million investment in Scala Data Centers, a leading data center platform in Latin America, and a $1 billion commitment to NextWind, a German renewable energy platform focused on repowering wind assets. Tatiane's leadership across these projects highlights her prowess in mobilizing capital to fuel large-scale, sustainable investments. ⓒ 2025 TECHTIMES.com All rights reserved.

Austin, Texas didn’t seem sold on the name (which spoilers had as “Ops” in the military sense but let us know what you think in the comments below Get complete results from tonight’s episode of Dynamite here and Mark Davis hyping the AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament Then FTR said they would spoil any chance of the Undisputed Kingdom winning the main event and going for the AEW Tag Team Titles -The Elton John’s opening theme played -Tony Schiavone welcomed everyone to the show RICOCHET – AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament Shibata started the match by kicking Ricochet in the hamstring Shibata whipped Ricochet to the ropes and hit a chop of his own to Ricochet Ricochet went for a cover on Shibata but only got a two-count [c] both men exchanged firearms in the middle of the ring “You still suck!” towards Ricochet Both men sat down in the middle of the ring and exchanged strikes Shibata teased doing the PK in the corner but slapped Ricochet in the back of his head instead Shibata nailed Ricochet with a butterfly suplex and got a near fall “This is Awesome.” Shibata locked in an STF submission but Ricochet made it out of bounds to break the hold Ricochet had a flurry of offsite that ended with a standing shooting star press for a near fall but Ricochet ducked it and rolled up Shibata with his feet on the ropes The official didn’t see Ricochet’s feet on the ropes which allowed him to secure the pinfall victory and move on to the AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament (Brian’s Thoughts: The much picked up after the commercial break The finish ultimately makes sense and protects Shibata.) -A highlight package was shown to hype up the AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament -The Murder Machines and Mark Davis were backstage beating up jobbers and Vance tried to jump Hobbs after the match -Lexy Nair was backstage with Thunder Rosa Rosa said Megan Bayne lacks respect; Bayne then jumped during the interview MARK DAVIS – AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament Briscoe pulled a steel chair from under the ring and set it up on the apron Briscoe used the chair as a launching pad to hit another dive onto Davis Briscoe won the battle and hit a shotgun dropkick from the ropes Both men exchanged stiff chops in the corner to each other Davis recovered to hit a reverse suplex and running knee for a close near fall Davis went for a power drive on the floor to the outside and he countered with a blockbuster to the apron Briscoe rolled Davis back in the ring to hit a fisherman buster and got a close near fall Davis hit a stiff-looking power driver for a near fall the Murder Machines came down ringside to distract the official which allowed Cage to push Briscoe from the top rope Davis hit a jumping power drive onto Briscoe to secure the pinfall victory and advance in the tournament (Brian’s Thoughts: Not everyone needs to look the same Davis is a mean guy throwback regarding his in-ring presence and work Briscoe losing frees up a potential feud with Gabe Kidd that was teased backstage a few weeks ago.) (4) MURDER MACHINES (Brian Cage & Lance Archer) vs BRYCE SATURN & EL FATAL & MATT VANDAGRIFF & SONICO -Post-match Mark Briscoe came down in the ring with a steel chair Hobbs made his way to the ramp to even the odds -A recap of the main event of the AEW Revolution was shown -Swerve Strickland cut a promo in the ring “Could history repeat itself on April sixth?” he said I did exactly what I said I was going to do and that was defeat Ricochet to become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship I don’t take anything away from that man He’s probably one of the best to ever step foot in this ring But I warned him about stepping into the most dangerous man in AEW and I will smack your bald ass right back down again I’m sorry I couldn’t bring Nana here with me safeguarding the Embassy robe so I can focus on the big important things and the AEW World Championship we’re talking about the top prize with the best roster in the world History repeats itself because I will be standing across the ring from the AEW World Champion in three weeks and I will have a chance to lead the dynasty once again you have Jon Moxley facing off against Cope for the AEW Championship once again in a street fight I looked up to that man pretty much all my life since I was a kid he was the man who took me under his wing and taught me what it was like to really seize the opportunity you don’t become dangerous without learning from Rated-R Cope; I’m going to reiterate something that you taught me a long time ago: Whether you are a challenger but you are standing in the way of the future of All Elite Wrestling You don’t become that without being an elite-level performer I used to really think that I and you were cut from the same cloth until you mentioned that there’s nobody in the back that can hold down the World Championship as you can I really don’t believe you believe what you’re saying I don’t believe you believe anything of what you’re saying so much that we got to listen to this dribble every week Desperation is all you’re going to have to hold on to because to catch a maniac Moxley jumped Strickland from behind with a crowbar to the back of the knee driving Strikland’s reputed eardrum to the mat (Brian’s Thoughts: Excellent promo from Strickland You saw and felt the pose of someone who wants to be the face of the company A good angle for Moxley to get involved without the Death Riders.) and Rosa confirmed that she would wrestle Megan Bayne later tonight (5) HOLOGRAM & TOP FLIGHT (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) vs SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS (Carlie Bravo & Lee Moriarty & Shawn Dean w/Shane Taylor) Action Andretti set up chairs on the ramp to watch the match Hologram and Moriarty battled to see who could get a bridge pin over the other Dante hit Dean with a dropkick and started to talk trash to Rush and Andretti which allowed Dean and Bravo to hit kicks to the face toward Dante Darius hit Dean with a flat liner for a near fall Dean and Bravo double-teamed Darius and went for a pin attempt The match broke down and everyone hit big moves Top Flight hit a German suplex double team onto Bravo to secure the pinfall victory for his team WINNERS: Hologram & Top Flight in 9:08 -After the match Top Flight starred down Rush and Andretti -Hologram and Komander challenged LFI to a tag team match Rosa walked down to the ring with tapped ribs selling the attack from Bayne earlier on the night Rosa bull-rushed Bayne with three drop kicks in the corner followed by Rosa laying in a hard chop to Bayne’s chest Bayne took Rosa down with a shoulder block While Rosa tried to regain her balance on the apron both women exchanged forearm shots in the middle of the ring and followed up with a dropkick to the floor Bayne grabbed Rosa and hit an F-5 to the ramp Rosa crawled to the ring to beat the countout (Brian’s Thoughts: AEW did an excellent job selling the story of this match throughout the night I hope AEW continues to add these details to the Women’s Division you need to see how Bayne looks and sounds on a live promo but AEW could pivot from that and allow someone like Stokely Hathaway to be her mouthpiece in the interim Rosa did a great job working underneath as the baby face and selling her injury.) -Post-match continued to beat down Rosa after the match but Bayne won the exchange and laid out Storm with an F-5 (7) UNDISPUTED KINGDOM (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) vs Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia joined the commentary team for the match The crowd chanted ” Tag Team Wrestling.” The Undisputed Kingdom hit a double-team suplex on Wheeler and went for a pin attempt but only got a one-count Harwood went for a powerdriver but Strong avoided it so he didn’t see the tag for O’Reilly FTR hit the heart attack on

Project’s Serpentico & Angelico Other stars in action but without announced opponents includes Abadon The Righteous & Lance Archer in trios action Thursday and 7pm EST arrived precisely when they meant to and Episode 80 of Ring of Honor on Honor Club arrived with ’em Rocky Romero is a wrestler who works at ROH/AEW Aaron Solo is also employed as a wrestler for ROH/AEW That seemed to be pretty much the only reason that these two locked up It was a little surprising to see this match kick off such a jam-packed show but it gave these two a chance to show the kind of workers they are Solo was a little lighter on his feet and managed to trade holds with Romero until Romero got a little silly and began tapping the back of Solo’s head Romero started taking Solo seriously though as Solo was able to get some lighthearted taps of his own in Solo is one of the top contenders for the ROH TV Title so a win over Romero would help his case in the regard That showed as Solo controlled the pace of the match until Romero caught him in a abdominal stretch bringing some energy to the match and going for high-impact offence like hurricanranas and multiple big back elbows in the corner but it wasn’t enough to put Romero down Romero answered back with a super bulldog off the top rope and Romero was able to get the pin and win the match She wants a shot at the Women’s World TV Title and called out Red Velvet asking for a Proving Ground match Lee Johnson defeated Nick Comoroto (w/Jacoby Watts) This match was taped prior to Comoroto getting injured and having to step back until well into next year it was a bittersweet match for the big man Johnson nearly became ROH TV Champion on two occasions this year Johnson took advantage and sent Comoroto out of the ring sending Johnson into the ring post head first like so many Rey Mysterios being “lawn-darted” by the NWO Comoroto’s size was becoming a problem for Johnson Comoroto whipped Johnson from post to post Watts got involved to the chagrin of the crowd and Johnson looked like he was about to give up a rare loss Comoroto clubbed him back down to his feet Johnson finally countered a suplex into one of his own It didn’t last long though as Comoroto regained the momentum But then Watts got up in the ring apron and distracted Comoroto enough to allow Johnson to get a quick rollup and the win Comoroto and Watts started a beatdown on Johnson but EJ Nduka arrived from the crowd to make the save and send the heels running there was an announcement from Tony Khan: Tonight Red Velvet would face Lady Frost in a Proving Ground match Ellering lost last week to RevPro Women’s Champion Mina Shirakawa in a hard fought battle so this week she was looking to get that momentum back on her side Ellering has also been dealing with a snarky Harley Cameron lurking about Rey actually had Ellering on her heels off the top of the match Rey made a mistake when she tried to outpower Ellering and found herself on the receiving end of a big shoulder tackle for her trouble Lots of hard strikes and devastating kicks Rye tried to use her speed to get one over on Ellering but Ellering’s experience and strength were too much for her A spinning Bosswoman slam took out Rey for good Anthony Henry & BEEF defeated Jay Lucas & Terry Yaki Beef showed some skill that led us to believe he’s not just a wild The crowd chanted “Beef!” as the match began Henry sent his cousin to the outside and started things off Beef hit a blind tag so that he got to start things off against Lucas Beef’s enthusiasm and strength had him in control but also caused him to make rookie mistakes when facing Yaki Beef powered through and brought Yaki to his and Henry’s corner Henry worked the neck of Yaki like a horse (see what I did there?) and then the same against Lucas Beef called for the tag and immediately tried to pin Lucas which confused Henry who was expecting a double team Beef climbed the ring post and delivered a big splash on Lucas to get the pin but a little concerned about Beef’s over-enthusiasm leaving up the ramp to let him celebrate in the ring Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) defeated Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) (w/Jacked Jameson) This match pitted some really high-energy and beefy citizens of Titty City against the smooth and laid back jams of the Spanish Announce Project It was an interesting clash of styles with the winners inching ever closer to a shot at Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara’s ROH Tag Titles Jameson did a great Scott Steiner ’99 promo on the way down to the ring that was full of energy and catchphrases Angelico kicked things off against Bronson and right away it was a great juxtaposition of speed and agility vs brawn and brutality bringing in the fastest man int he match vs the strongest man in the match Serpentico managed to avoid the big man at first but was caught between a Boulder and a Bronson place he ducked and the two Savaged collided though Jameson took the opportunity to throw Serpentico at the barricade on the outside Serpentico got a hot tag into Angelico who cleared the ring Angelico hit a flatliner on Bronson and Serpentico followed it up with a big frog splash Angelico got a toehold on Bronson and flipped him over PROVING GROUND MATCH: ROH Women’s Television Champion Red Velvet defeated Lady Frost This surprise match was booked by Tony Khan himself earlier in the evening If Frost could last 10 minutes or pin the Champion she would earn a shot at Velvet’s ROH Women’s TV Title Winning a Proving Ground match would be huge for Frost The two were pretty evenly matched with neither women getting the jump on the other off the top and each move being met with a countermove All she had to do was last 10 minutes and she’d get her title shot and seemed to be taking her opponent seriously Frost began to overpower Velvet with some handspring strikes in the corner Frost locked in a chinlock with Velvet in the middle of the ring Velvet reversed it into an abdominal stretch Frost planted Velvet with a cartwheel powerbomb Velvet hit a hip-toss neckbreaker out of nowhere and the two rolled around in pinning combinations until Velvet finally got the three-count on Frost -Taya Valkyrie joined us backstage and hyped up her match later with Mina Shirakawa Valkyrie was offended by Shirakawa being in ROH That brought out the RevPro Women’s champ herself who shook her money makers at Valkyrie who walked off in a huff Lance Archer & The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) defeated Lights he was beating up someone named “Ozzy” for reasons known only to him he re-joins his compatriots Dutch and Vincent These three haven’t exactly been known to follow rules and seem more interested in hurting their opponents so who knows what we would get here.  No one bothered to mention the names of the members of Lights Camera Faction so the one I’ll call Lights* kicked things off against Vincent He didn’t last long though as Archer tagged in He no sold some strikes from Camera** before absolutely levelling him That brought in Dutch and Faction*** who dutch laid out and setup Orange Sunshine Archer delivered a Black out to Faction and scored the pin even though it was somewhat pointless and chaotic Diamante planted James on her fast about thirty seconds into the match to get the pin in a textbook squash Diamante beat up James a bit after the match but Red Velvet made a triumphant return from 15 minutes ago to break it up and run Diamante off -Lee Johnson was interviewed backstage about EJ Nduka saving him from Comoroto and Watts Johnson called him a friend and NDuka joined him in a sweet Kylo Ren t-shirt Nduka said that he was The Judge and Johnson getting jumped after matches was over because he was here to protect his back Griff Garrison (w/Maria) defeated Angelo Parker Two men without their tag team partners went head to head in this singles bout The wild(est) card would of course be Maria She no longer has Serpentico’s mask to keep her company so she pushed Garrison hard to win this match and give them a reason to keep going.  Garrison tried to mock Parker for being short (which was kind of laughable as he only had about an inch of height on him) and Parker took that opportunity to kick him in the shins Garrison responded with some stiff uppercuts driving Parker into the corner while Maria chirped on the outside Garrison seemed to have everything under control Parker managed to dodge Garrison and deliver a big clothesline and running neckbreaker Parker hit a big elbow on Garrison and Maria jumped up on the apron She pretended to toss her boot in the ring and while the ref was distracted she hit Parker with the other one Garrison capitalized and pinned the dazed Parker The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) (w/Mark Sterling) defeated Joe Alonzo & Josiah Jean Mark Sterling has been pushing the Premier Athletes down our throats the last few weeks with Nese losing to Lio Rush and Daivari taking a pin from The Conglomeration’s Tomohiro Ishii last week.  Nese started thing off by throwing Alonzo to the mat as if he was a bag of feathers Nese dragged him to Daivari in the corner and the two double teamed Alonzo Nese and Daivari had the advantage of being teammates and their cohesion was hard for Alonzo and Jean to get around Jean tried to help his partner but was clothselined to the outside for his trouble A lawn dart cutter combo led to a big splash from Daivari and a pin to get the Premier Athletes the win John Silver (w/Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno) defeated Fuego Del Sol The Dark Order has been cranky as heck the last few weeks furious that Dustin Rhodes and the Von Erichs have been able to hold on to their ROH Six-Man tag titles it was pretty much three on one before the match even started the two locked up with Del Sol coming out on top and Silver sliding out of the ring to get some advice from Uno and Reynolds Del Sol hit a big moonsault on Uno and Reynolds to break up the party and brought things back into the ring with Silver Silver got the momentum on his side with a series of kicks He fought back until Silver silenced him with a suplex He then locked in a chinlock to try and get Del Sol to tap but no dice as the luchadore fought out and delivered some European uppercuts in the corner Silver used his power to catch Del Sol and suplex him Del Sol fought back with a stomp to the head though and set up a tornado DDT distracting everyone so Uno could attack from behind unnoticed Silver hit a spinning backbreaker and pinned Del Sol for the win Abadon has had her spooky sights on the ROH Women’s Championship She’s driven legit fear into the heart of the champion on more than one occasion so the notion of Athena looking to spread some fear of her own was on everyone’s mind as the match kicked off.  but had never faced anything quite like Abadon Chanel wasn’t able to get any kind of momentum in against Abadon with the Living Dead Girl no-selling all of Chanel’s offense Abadon hit a devastating cutter and a Black Dahlia to pin Chanel and get the win Katsuyori Shibata defeated Josh Woods (w/Mark Sterling) the lone singles winner amongst the Premier Athletes lately he’d be looking down the barrel of a former ROH Pure Champion in Shibata “The Wrestler” was a specifically boring create-a-wrestler I used to make in Wrestlemania 2000 speed and much more when applied to Shibata The two locked up and Woods’ strategy seemed to be to keep Shibata off his feet The two engaged in a really fun technical swapping of holds and moves A frustrated Woods knocked Shibata to the outside Woods tossed the smaller Shibata back into the ring and began stomping a Texas-sized mudhole on him in the corner Shibata switched on the aggression and managed to reverse Woods into the corner and hit a big dropkick Shibata reversed a suplex into a sleeper though and Sterling jumped up to cause a distraction Shibata ran him off and hit an STO on Woods followed by a cross armbreaker Mina Shirakawa defeated Taya Valkyrie (w/Johnny TV) As Shirakawa was celebrating her win over Rachael Ellering but the fly in the ointment was Valkyrie’s husband Shirakawa’s dancing seemed to enrage Valkyrie Valkyrie sent Shirakawa to the corner for some big stomps putting her on her heels right from the start Valkyrie dig into her bag of dirty tricks early leaving her hobbling and trying to get a quick pin Shirakawa locked in a figure four on Valkyrie who pulled herself to the ropes to break it clubbing and pounding on Shirakawa while TV cheered her on Stopping for a quick makeout on the outside with TV Valkyrie tried to throw Shirakawa into the barricade but Shirakawa ducked it and headed back to the ring bit it was a possum play as Shirakawa was able to grab Valkyrie’s leg when she came in for a kick On the outside a miscommunication between husband and wife saw TV and Valkyrie crash into each other giving Shiarakawa a chance to hit a big splash on them both from the top rope Shirakawa hit a massive kick on Valkyrie’s jaw Shirakawa set up Valkyrie for a big splash from the top of the ringpost followed by a blue thunder bomb for a two-count Valkyrie tried to get Shirakawa up for a surfboard but Shirakawa reversed it into a second Figure Four She held it on Valkyrie in the middle of the ring until Valkyrie was forced to tap As the TV family slunk away Shirakawa celebrated with the crowd as the show when off the air From Tubes To Turns, Jai Glindeman's Surfing is a Treat to Behold Gerry Lopez Goes Deep With Justin Jay On The

mistake: Jason Shibata isn't ready to pass the competitive torch just yet Just when the 29-year-old starts talking about a life after pro surfing life he turns in the biggest result of his career to take first place in the $25,000 Sponsor Me Hawaii Shibata's win of this 2-star rated Association of Surfing Professionals event earned him $5,000 and a long-awaited turn on the victory dais Shibata couldn't have written the script any better for himself: Perfect five-foot surf at his childhood stomping ground of Ala Moana Bowls with all of his peers there to enjoy it with him opting for something a little less crowded and intense But the opportunity to dominate the coveted South Shore lineup with just three others out was one he couldn't help but put to good use which earned him an 8.6 and ultimately clinched the final “I was tripping because I wasn't really in the spot (for the tube),” said Shibata it started off really tight and almondy and I'm going for it But it let me out and from then on I had a huge smile on my face and thought Along with his fellow finalists Kai Barger (Haiku Shibata surfed through five rounds over 11 hours today It was a grueling day that was well worth the effort Barger gave Shibata the best run for his money putting it all on the line to the final horn where he popped a reverse air 360 “We had a pretty good pulse of waves for half an hour so everybody was relaxed and knew that we could all get at least two good chances to bang ‘um and Shibats just got us.” Worthy of a special mention today was downtown Honolulu civil engineer Gregg Nakamura who took a day off work and took down former world champion Sunny Garcia in his opening heat of the morning Nakamura had also posted heat wins over both Shibata and Barger He's now considering a trip to Las Vegas to test his lucky streak; while he was in the water taking out heats his wife won a Sponsor Me lucky draw surfboard closely followed by his cousin from out of town who was also drawn at random to win a board Granger Larsen and Kai Barger in the round of 64: “That was the gnarliest heat I've ever been in in my life!” said Nakamura “It was the most anticipated heat of

original designs based on Torigoe bamboo weaving A small gallery in Tokyo recently held an exhibit on bamboo weaving from the small community of Torigoe in Iwate Prefecture The show was a valuable chance to see creations by Shibata Megumi a leading figure in the Torigoe handicraft tradition which boasts roots stretching back more than 1,000 years and now only a handful of artisans still produce the bags and other everyday items that Torigoe is famous for a cozy venue tucked away in a residential area of Bunkyō in the center of the capital opened the exhibition space in a corner of her home to showcase different weaving traditions from around Japan Shibata is the leading figure in efforts to preserve the Torigoe bamboo weaving tradition Hori and Shibata in 2023 launched a crowdfunding campaign to publish a book highlighting the history and beauty of Torigoe bamboo handicraft raising awareness and fostering appreciation of the ancient art There is much to admire about Torigoe weaving Bags and other items made in the style are beguilingly light maturing to an amber hue with time and use A Torigoe bamboo handbag a type of dwarf bamboo native to Japan and other parts of Asia Shibata explains that the variety has long been a vital resource for making the familiar tools of rural life—everything from draining baskets for noodles to bentō boxes to farm baskets used in fields “I grew up surrounded by it,” she declares Lauding the sturdiness of the weaving style she insists that most items will last for decades Shibata Megumi during an exhibit of her work at Gallery Keian The beauty and practicality of Torigoe bamboo weaving won the approval of Yanagi Sōetsu (1889–1961), a leading figure of the mingei folk arts movement Impressed by the practical nature of items Yanagi praised the tradition as epitomizing yō no bi (用の美) a concept encapsulating the beauty intrinsic in the crafts themselves and in their usage in daily life The show at Gallery Keian spanned eight days and served to highlight the growing interest in Shibata’s creations A large-scale mingei exhibition currently touring Japan also features a selection of her works Torigoe bamboo weaving draws people with its quality and handmade craftsmanship is facing an existential threat to its survival as the population of artisans dwindle with age a situation that is deeply intertwined with the history of Torigoe and the characteristics of suzutake bamboo itself Mount Torigoe shimmers in the Iwate sunshine is said to have been founded in the early ninth century by the priest Ennin (794–864) Ennin is also credited with introducing bamboo weaving to the area the monk encouraged residents to pray to Kannon and forbade them from consuming meat as hunting supplemented the meager diets of the farming community Ennin is said to have introduced bamboo weaving as a means for residents to support themselves The story is likely apocryphal, as archeological evidence from excavations at nearby Goshono, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing of ancient sites in northern Japan, includes items made from woven suzutake that date to the prehistoric Jōmon period This has not impacted Shibata’s reverence for the Kannon The worshiper’s path (left) and the steep staircase of the Torigoe Kannon’s Okuno-in the tradition of bamboo weaving is intricately intertwined with the Torigoe Kannon She rises early on the monthly holy days associated with the bodhisattva of compassion and mercy and travels to the temple to pay her respects noting that she also pays heed to Buddhist precepts against eating meat even to the point of not consuming soup stock produced with niboshi dried fish “The whole family was involved—kids so there wasn’t time to teach techniques You just picked it up by watching and doing.” The weaving process starts with a trip into the surrounding forest to collect bamboo something that Shibata says she learned to do by helping her father Suzutake is much thinner than other types of bamboo and several stalks are needed to make even simple items making the excursions time-consuming and tiring endeavors Collecting suzutake in the forest After harvesting and allowed to dry (left) before it is shaved down to a uniform thickness using a special device suzutake in the Torigoe area has been withering at an alarming rate Records show a similar occurrence in the 1780s and again in 1897 suggesting die-offs happen every 120 years or so Little is known about what triggers the phenomenon and experts warn that it could take as many as 20 years for the bamboo to fully recover and there’s no guarantee that climate change won’t worsen the situation,” she says with concern Given the current challenges that Torigoe already faces a pause of that length would spell almost certain doom Shibata is determined to overcome the crisis “I’ve cut back on the number of items I make to extend my stock of suzutake—I should have enough to last me another year or two If I have to use a different variety of bamboo to tide me over she recognized the need to bring the designs of her creations into line with the changing needs of customers she has come up with items like a wallet-sized shoulder bag capable of holding a smartphone and different styles of bags based on classic and popular designs Shibata’s creations range from traditional items like kōri storage baskets (left) to fashionable handbags inspired by the “M-style” items produced for export in Matsumoto “Artisans typically have certain items that they specialize in,” Shibata explains “I’m somewhat different in that I don’t have any one field that I focus on handbags—whatever.” Shibata insists that this gives her the freedom to be imaginative in her designs “My creativity is my strong point.” Torigoe bamboo weaving runs in Shibata’s family Both of her parents were accomplished artisans although she herself did not initially intend to carry on the tradition her mother’s sudden illness when Shibata was in her 30s changed everything and was caring for her young family when her mother collapsed She made the difficult decision to return home but coming back to weaving after so many years away was challenging Complicating matters was her mother’s diminished ability to communicate her skills and knowledge “Her physical condition—she had become paraplegic at the time—made it difficult for her to demonstrate techniques to me,” recounts Shibata so her explanations went right over my head.” Shibata regrets not learning more from her mother while she could but says that even after so many years away she discovered that many of the skills she had acquired in her childhood remained with her “It was almost as if my fingers knew what to do on their own I quickly became absorbed in working out the different techniques.” When Shibata returned to Torigoe in the late 1980s the community still boasted a healthy population of artisans a situation that combined with other factors placed the tradition’s survival in jeopardy “Today there are only about ten or twenty people still active,” Shibata explains “I’m the baby of the group.” The most pressing issue for Shibata is bringing up a new generation of artisans This has meant letting in outsiders—some of whom are showing interest in learning the craft—something that was unthinkable in the past families in Torigoe wouldn’t even allow their daughters to marry outside the community for fear others would steal their weaving techniques,” she says She has relegated such insular thinking to the dustbin of history and now runs her own school “Bamboo weaving is a skill best learned gradually through trial and error,” she explains “But there really isn’t room for such a leisurely approach If the tradition dies out before it can be passed on to a new generation then it’s gone forever.” To avoid this heart-wrenching possibility Shibata has changed her approach to speed the teaching process along breaking down the different techniques into their different parts to help build her students’ abilities in a shorter amount of time Shibata remains focused on honing her craft Her current aim is on making a double-weave basket called an oboke similar to what her mother made before she fell ill “I’ve wanted to try my hand at one for a while,” she says She has kept the basket her mother wove nearby for inspiration and feels she is nearly ready “I came up with a completely new design that I’m keen to try out.” Shibata’s dog Chako watches over an oboke basket Shibata and her fellow artisans face an uncertain road ahead in preserving Torigoe suzutake bamboo weaving They will need to tap into unknown markets with novel products and build new networks of fans and supporters It is unreasonable to expect them to go it alone Government assistance in the endeavor will be a must but average citizens must also realize they have a role to play in sustaining traditional handicrafts One hopes that Shibata’s efforts will take root and bear fruit for Torigoe for another 1,000 years Shibata Megumi Photos by Arimoto Yayoi are courtesy of Hori Kēko Banner photo: Torigoe bamboo weaving artisan

The logo for the anime lists the title in English as Tojima Tanzaburo Wants to be a Masked Rider Shibata drew a visual to commemorate the announcement The manga follows the titular Tanzaburo Tojima a man who has just turned 40 and who still seriously dreams of becoming a Kamen Rider Just as he is about to give up on this dream he gets caught up in a "false Shocker" robbery Shibata launched the manga with cooperation from Ishimori Production and Toei in the Monthly Hero's magazine in 2018 and the manga moved to the Comiplex website Hero's published the 15th compiled volume on September 28 The anime will have a stage presentation at the Aniplex booth at the AnimeJapan 2025 event on March 23 at 1:05 p.m which will reveal the cast for Tojima Tanzaburo along with other new information Sources: Tōjima Tanzaburō wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai anime's website, Comic Natalie Volume 7 - 2020 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2020.00018 This article is part of the Research TopicMetabolic Shifting: Nutrition, Exercise and TimingView all 12 articles The mammalian circadian clock drives the temporal coordination in cellular homeostasis and it leads the day-night fluctuation of physiological functions The mammalian circadian clock system in the body is classified hierarchically into two classes the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus and the peripheral clocks in peripheral tissues such as the intestine and liver as well as other brain areas outside the SCN The circadian rhythm of various tissue-specific functions is mainly controlled by each peripheral clock and partially by the central clock as well and metabolic capacities of nutrients also show the day-night variations in several peripheral tissues such as small intestine and liver It is therefore indicated that the bioavailability or metabolic capacity of nutrients depends on the time of day the postprandial response of blood triacylglycerol to a specific diet and glucose tolerance exhibit clear time-of-day effects Meal frequency and distribution within a day are highly related to metabolic functions and optimal time-restricted feeding has the potential to prevent several metabolic dysfunctions we summarize the time-of-day-dependent postprandial response of macronutrients to each meal and the involvement of circadian clock system in the time-of-day effect the chronic beneficial and adverse effects of meal time and eating pattern on metabolism and its related diseases are discussed we discuss the timing-dependent effects of exercise on the day-night variation of exercise performance and therapeutic potential of time-controlled-exercise for promoting general health This negative feedback loop of clock genes exists in nearly all tissues in mammals Transcriptional and translational negative feedback loop of core molecular clocks in mammals The heterodimer of CLOCK and BMAL1 activates the transcription of Crys The translated and phosphorylated PERIODs and CRYs form a complex along with CKIε/δ and then this complex is translocated into the nucleus to inhibit its own transcription induced by the heterodimer of CLOCK and BMAL1 (blue lines) A part of phosphorylated CRYs and PERIODs is degraded via ubiquitin-proteasome pathways The translated REV-ERBs and RORs inhibits and activates the transcription of Bmal1 and Clock genes via binding to RORE The rhythmic expression of Ccgs results in oscillation of several physiological functions (Crys Retinoid-related orphan receptors; Rev-erbs Clock-controlled genes; CKIε/δ we discuss the time-dependent physiological response to nutrients and a role of circadian clock in these time-dependent effects we also summarize the time-dependent effects of exercise on physiological functions and athletic performance Although there are many reports focusing on the postprandial metabolic response to a single meal it is rare that the research focuses on the comparison between metabolic responses to breakfast we review the time-of-day effects on the postprandial metabolic responses of macronutrients and the influence of circadian rhythm to these time-of-day effects developed and used the two-meals-per-day feeding model The blood levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are higher in the mice fed with a fish oil during the time of activity onset compared with that during the onset of inactive phase suggesting that feeding-time dependent therapeutic effects of fish oil rely on the temporal capacity of intestinal absorption of DHA and EPA thus highlighting the importance of alignment between both rhythms for prevention of diabetes in shift-workers the diurnal variation of glucose tolerance is regulated by both endogenous and behavioral rhythms and the molecular clock in peripheral tissues drives endogenous rhythms such as glucose uptake and insulin secretion These data suggest that the postprandial amino acids response in humans depends on the feeding time It suggests that consuming high calorie meal during the night induces the dysfunctions of lipid and glucose metabolisms even if the feeding window is shortened Mechanistic insight into the effects of time-restricted-feeding during active or sleep phase Upper left panel: In standard-diet-fed mice timing of the entrainment cues between feeding cycle and central clock is matched for peripheral clocks Upper right panel: High-fat-diet not only induced metabolic dysfunction due to a high calorie but also arrhythmic feeding cycle This dysregulation of feeding cycle attenuates the feeding-induced-entrainment of peripheral clocks Lower left panel: TRF during active phase rescues the attenuation of peripheral clock functions due to perturbation of feeding cycle Lower right panel: Although TRF during sleep phase also entrains peripheral clocks timing of the entrainment cues between feeding cycle and central clock is mismatched It is suggested that this mismatch partially attenuates the beneficial effects of TRF the diurnal regulation of DNA synthesis is not affected by TRF the rest-phase-TRF leads to the mismatch of temporal regulations between DNA synthesis and repair resulting in the increased sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage could be effective for the maintenance of several biological functions while TRF during the sleep phase might attenuate muscle and skin functions as compared to TRF during the active phase It is a possibility that the different training conditions and the passive warm-up effect of the environment may have influenced the results Figure 3. Scheme for effect of training-time on diurnal physical performance. The muscle performance exhibits diurnal variation with the peak at afternoon and the trough at morning and night (dotted line). This diurnal characteristic of muscle performance is changed by training and its effect depends on the time of day (93) Morning training increases the performance in morning resulting in the low amplitude (blue line) while evening training increases it in the evening resulting in the high amplitude (red line) suggesting that the morning exercise promotes the reactivity of vasodilation the net change of blood pressure is not evaluated under the adjusted condition described before thus it is possible that some effects of morning exercise mask by the morning surge thus it is possible that evening exercise progress the circadian disturbance of blood pressure via a phase-delay of circadian rhythm Further studies are required to evaluate the effect of exercise both in terms of hypotensive effect and circadian rhythm is required for the control of circadian blood pressure in hypertensive subjects it is possible that the beneficial timing of exercise is different by your aim exercise in the evening is better for the induction of muscle hypertrophy while in the morning is better for the prevention of muscle loss because there are few studies in this field called chrono-exercise further studies are expected to generate strong and conclusive evidence acute response of fat oxidation to exercise is greater in the evening while the longer effects of exercise on fat oxidation are observed before breakfast further evidence is needed to discuss the effects of exercise timing in the context of therapeutic effects and its circadian rhythms SA was involved in conceptualizing and

Hidekatsu Shibata — known for his roles in classic anime series – continues to rock at the age of 87 Having started working as a TV personality in 1953 Shibata later ruled the anime world with roles in Mr Baron Ashura in Mazinger Z and Count Mecha in Galaxy Express 999 as well as famous anime series such as: Monkey D Fuhrer King Bradley in Fullmetal Alchemist and more “When I started animation began as part of early childhood education but there were very few actors willing to appear in it,” he said “My first appearance in an anime series called Ken the Wolf Boy was done at the recommendation of a producer at Toei Animation I founded the voice production company ‘Aoni Productions’ with my university classmate Kubo Susumu and from there I began to work as a full-fledged voice actor,” he added Shibata said that he likes all the works that he has been in them equally listening and trying are important nourishment for an actor I’ve been blessed to have been able to star in works and characters that everyone knows.” About the most inspirational thing from Japanese culture that he has adapted into his daily life Shibata said: “I’ve specialized in Edo literature and national theater (kabuki) at university I think that is the origin of what is now known as the Shibata style.” X from the original ‘Tiger Mask’ was his first major role in an anime series he said: “I don’t know why I was chosen for the role as I didn’t do audition for it and I don’t know about any sales efforts by agencies I was told about most roles after I was selected for it.” “my role as Calgara from ‘Skypiea Arc’ in One Piece was also memorable.” Shibata is known as the voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi in Naruto franchise The third Hokage died in a fierce battle with Orochimaru but as an actor it’s gratifying that this line fire burns…the shadow of the fire illuminates the village and the leaves sprout again,” has lived on for years to come” “Japanese ninja stories are popular all over the world Perhaps it’s something like ‘One and Only Flower in the World.’ Just like One Piece I don’t perform any of my works with particular awareness of popularity,” he added About the main changes between the skills and working conditions of voice actors between the past and present Shibata said: “What’s expected of a voice actor has changed with the times Our generation gained popularity with exaggerated acting in the early days of anime It’s a bit tricky to say whether you can make a living just from your appearance fee for anime Even for voice actors who are blessed with popular characters their appearance fee for anime is not as high as people might imagine.” Hidekatsu Shibata was one of the international celebrities who was invited to CFCC event in Kuwait last month and he was very pleased to meet the fans at the event Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East region before my trip to Kuwait heartfelt hospitality everywhere in the region.” Shibata said: “There are several ongoing series There are fewer senior voice actors these days so I don’t know how long I can continue or whether I will get offers But I still feel like I want to continue.” About his recommendations for those who want to be voice actors for animation projects Shibata said:” The way of a voice actor is interest and curiosity Steal from the good and learn from the bad The way of the arts is that it’s not a crime to steal.” Today's print edition Home Delivery Renesas Electronics was under government control and bleeding cash the Japanese chipmaker is targeting a market value of

Yu Taniguchi taught me the basics of playing the keyboard and was present during the recording encouraging me when I felt I couldn’t play anymore I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked with me and provided this invaluable experience I believe it turned out to be a great album I hope you enjoy this one along with “Your Favorite Things.” Thank you very much a solo live show titled “Satoko Shibata’s Solo ’24 ~ My Favorite Things ~” has been announced for November The performances will take place on the 13th (Wednesday) at ABC Hall in Fukushima and on the 24th (Sunday) at Hulic Hall Tokyo in Yurakucho Tickets will be available for official pre-sale on Lawson Ticket until August 15th (Thursday) with general sales starting on September 21st (Saturday) Satoko Shibata – “My Favorite Things” Lyrics and Composition: Satoko ShibataProduction and Arrangement: Satoko Shibata Pre-Order Bonus for Satoko Shibata’s New Album “My Favorite Things”For the release of Satoko Shibata’s new album “My Favorite Things,” scheduled for October 23 customers who pre-order the album at select stores between August 5 2024 (Sunday) will receive a special bonus: a DVD of the additional performance from the “Satoko Shibata Tour 2024 ‘Your Favorite Things'” held on May 31 Participating Stores:TOWER RECORDS / HMV / diskunion / Rakuten BOOKS / COCONUTS DISK Satoko Shibata’s Solo Live 2024: “My Favorite Things” 2024 (Wednesday)Venue: ABC HallOpen: 18:30 / Start: 19:00 2024 (Sunday)Venue: Hulic Hall TokyoOpen: 16:00 / Start: 17:00 Ticket Price:Advance: 5,000 YenGeneral Sale: September 21 2024 (Saturday)Official Site Pre-Sale: August 5 2024 (Thursday) 23:59[ https://l-tike.com/shibatasatoko ]
