But when he was young "You say such hurtful things." He realized he didn’t want to Having been in the Lansing area since he got to Michigan Masaki went to MSU and later Davenport University on a full ride scholarship for computer science He joined the poetry club at MSU where he started to find his writing groove He invested in workshops and one-on-one coaching when he could He didn’t just come up on his own; he knew he had talent Through that he found poetry as a way to unravel his experiences Masaki wrote about what he knew: his life as an Asian American man in the United States Freestyling in his youth gave him a different view of poetry and performance by the time he got into it Maybe poems didn’t have to be written fully maybe that meant he was improvising on stage sometimes He learned to go with whatever feelings were present in the moment.  he told me over lunch at Charlie Kang’s — a restaurant he worked at years ago — that he tries not to write things down immediately when he thinks of them he likes to let his poems simmer for a while often freestyling before he puts them to page “When you start writing off the bat you can hide behind skill and poetry is about vulnerability,” he said "Butcher My Name" opens with a scene of him at a deli A meat clerk attempts to call his name and mispronounces it several times and He uses the anecdote to further explore how microaggressions and stereotypes have contributed to his life-long struggle He goes on to discuss his name being the pride of his family "I would much rather starve than allow anyone to just butcher my name," he says at the end of the poem I first saw Masaki perform at (SCENE) Metrospace for a poetry event he opened his outfits consisting of a lot of sports jackets and cardigans When he came up in conversation at a poetry club meeting but in a way "where he’s a force of positive change." what first struck me was his ability to warm up a crowd he transitions into his poetry nearly seamlessly When I later watched him open for an open mic event held for the anniversary of the MSU shooting I came to understand the effect his approach had on the crowd Performing poetry is rough (there’s a reason I don’t do it) it’s asking the poet to be vulnerable in front of a crowd of people Masaki’s introduction visibly eases up a stiff audience He also sets rules at the start of an event he laid down some ground rules for performance: "Being jarring for the sake of being jarring is really cringey." He also asked for performers to have their phones or books ready by the time they got on stage a change from previous events where he’s said performers should be memorized (although he never really enforced that it seemed more like some kind of encouragement).  I asked him if he’s noticed the effect he has on crowds or if that effect is otherwise intentional He told me poetry sometimes comes with the connotation of being uppity and uptight — for people with more class he wants to be able to deconstruct that and make it more relatable more human — something that comes from his experience in hip-hop "I can't write about pretty flowers when I don't know if I get to stay in this country next week," he said "I can't write about eating an apple when I'm not sure if I have enough money for this pack of diapers." It’s in this way that he bridges a gap that exists between performer and audience I saw him compete at a techno-themed slam sponsored by the MSU Museum The rules work like this: A certain number of poets perform pieces one after another according to the theme of the event and they are judged on a scale of 1-10 by audience members chosen at random at the beginning of the event a second round takes place wherein each poet performs a poem of their choice He would periodically close his hands into a fist and pump his arms as if pushing a bench press when the judges would announce how they rated the performance or if he just wanted to keep track throughout When he got up for the first round he performed a poem on theme with his familiar cadence but he was not in first place by the end of the first round a performance of "Butcher My Name" was enough to land him in first place I sat in on a workshop with the poetry club after seeing him perform a few times he had us each read a sentence off of small slips of paper he gave us which we had to do in accordance with an emotion written on a separate slip of paper the point of the exercise being to show the importance of tonality when performing — which also served as a reminder for why I don’t perform he opened the floor for everyone to share what they were working on.  he often closed his eyes as if falling into a deep meditative state Sometimes he’d open them and stare at the floor nodding he’d ask the same question: "What do you want?" If it’s just positive feedback he’d give that as easily as if they had just wanted help with the ending stanza He later told me that he does that because "I think the reason I do pretty well in these workshops is I break it down like this: All year this is a place where I don't really give them input and they have maximum output in whatever they want to do," so he focuses on asking them questions he has them talk about whatever they want to talk about flatly much like how a computer program works.  He speaks and conducts himself onstage in a way that might come off as intimidating (as someone mentioned a while back) the more I watched him the more I realized that Masaki is someone who is so confident in his skills that I almost feel like he deserves to be a little arrogant So much so that I find it hard to believe that there wasn’t a single point at the Techno open mic where he didn’t think he was going to win first place I asked Masaki if he’s ever gotten into any other kinds of writing "I’m like an amazing sushi shop that serves you one thing … I'm really good at this one thing I am a sushi shop that's not gonna serve you gyoza skill and care for the craft that led him to the title of Lansing Poet Laureate in 2019 a role he recently passed to Ruelaine Stokes in 2024 Lansing’s poet laureate is expected to host a certain amount of community events and workshops every month Masaki said it was an honor to serve with that title for the city so all he had to do was keep organizing events and utilize a stipend which he put toward more workshops with other poets His constant encouragement goes beyond just workshops I've seen him fall into a similar meditative state at performances Other times he’ll face the wall in thought letting out the occasional "new sh–!" if the poet announces that they’ve just recently written what they’re about to perform a high school junior told the crowd it was her first time performing — she was visibly nervous But it was Masaki’s voice that came most clearly through from the crowd: "let’s go!" He’s not just trying to help a high school kid get over her stage fright; he has a genuine appreciation for young new poets and what they bring to the craft Watching students in workshops reminds him of a sense of curiosity that is eventually lost in adulthood he tries to tap into that magic that only exists in the absence of knowledge of technical skills — a genius that only exists in youth He said highschoolers in particular will often finish writing poems and think, this is the best poem ever and it’s far from incorporating any of the technical tools of poetry but he’d never tell them that "because it's genuine to them," he said His desire to help young writers even extended to me he asked what I was going to be writing about he was asking so he could better understand my questions It felt like he completely turned the conversation around on me He suggested an angle for the title to me as well: something highlighting how he’s a man that’s gone from ESL classes in second grade to the Lansing poet laureate just a few years ago Eventually a mutual friend came up in conversation an MSU student he’s known since her freshman year who’s now a senior this person has put in a lot of work to grow and much of that is attributed to the community resources and opportunities she’s had access to no one tells you anything is possible."  she’s become the president of the poetry club and works with Masaki to organize various events around campus to see her graduate thinking: I can do anything now the kind of pure-joy laughter that’s infectious It reminded me of something someone said about him at a poetry club meeting: "The best thing is if you can make Masaki laugh at something." He didn’t have anything like The Poetry Room when he entered college his joy with the craft comes from the people he coaches whether it be younger kids or college students — in part because out of many of the people he did poetry with in college he’s one of the few that is still active.  He told me his favorite poetry memory about the time he visited a middle school in Jackson He did some exercises before eventually turning it over to the students which more or less turned the workshop into an open mic session There were two students in particular who he asked to tell him about something they didn't like which ultimately led to them dissing each other in a playful way — not dissimilar to how he got his start as a teenager.  The teacher pulled him aside to ask if he wanted to get back on track with his original lesson plan the youthful defiance of poetic conventions fueling his joy for the moment He doesn’t want any of it to stop anytime soon He has dreams for The Poetry Room: after school programs involvement from more high schools and project anthologies are all on the list It’s hard to prevent Masaki’s passion for poetry from rubbing off on you A few weeks before deciding to write about him I got back into poetry after years of being unable to write and being uninterested in the craft as a result something I told him when we began talking about the Robin Theatre I later added that I was planning on attending the next open mic to watch him perform "Are you going to bring a poem?" he asked.  Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads

Rock Golf Club in Havre de Grace Southern Illinois - 318-320-325=963 (+99)14 *competed as an individual outside the Husker lineup Dean Takahashi is applying the lessons he learned at the Yale investment office to a new challenge: taking carbon out of the atmosphere Dylan Walsh ’11MEM is a freelance writer based in Chicago noticed pieces of wood on the river bottom He was on a canoe trip with colleagues on the St the watery border between Maine and New Brunswick and building team rapport.The sunken logs stuck with Takahashi He knew that almost a century prior to his boat slipping by on the surface local timber companies had run log drives down the river This well-preserved relic of the time was his first encounter with a carbon sink The drowned tree had lived many years inhaling carbon dioxide converting it to the substance of leaf and branch and root locking it in place so long as the wood did not decay.At the time Takahashi was second-in-command at the Yale Investments Office but the prospect of pulling carbon from the atmosphere and stowing it continued to occupy his imagination He investigated whether the university should purchase a peat bog He awoke one morning beset with nighttime visions of kelp we could farm kelp—one of the world’s most efficient absorbers of carbon—then pack it tightly in concrete cubes and sink those cubes into the deepest reaches of the ocean He ran experiments in his garage to test designs of garbage cans to collect and measure methane. “I had this growing awareness of the importance of dealing with climate and also a growing awareness that it was something I really cared about,” Takahashi says He found himself discussing the topic with financial magnates like Tom Steyer and Jeremy Grantham “I was also realizing that there is this gap in the world in terms of taking ideas that are basic science research and getting them where they need to be as a commercial reality We need people coming up with creative ways to make that jump from research to market.”In late 2019 after 33 years building Yale’s endowment Takahashi announced he was leaving his job to found the Carbon Containment Lab (initially known as the Yale Carbon Containment Laboratory) He raised money from individual friends and supporters He lined up an eclectic team of five full-time employees the management of money gave way to the management of climate.He encountered a steep learning curve There were decades of scientific research to digest; there was a new world of climate adaptation and mitigation technologies to explore But a powerful philosophical cord connected past with present Takahashi and his boss David Swensen ’80PhD redefined the institutional investment model moving away from the safely conventional bonds and S&P 500 to invest in private equity They sought and found value where others weren’t looking.This approach now motivates the Carbon Containment Lab has no interest in the best-known ways for solving our climate crisis These wide paths are relatively crowded with people the lab is hunting for the best unknown solutions to the climate crisis the corners of science and engineering that brim with unrealized promise.The carbon containment lab became an independent nonprofit in February 2024 It currently employs eleven people full-time because Takahashi prefers a flat hierarchy and the intellectually egalitarian culture born from this flatness Ideas are welcomed and debated from all corners People follow curiosity to far-flung ends then rigorously judge the merit of whatever ideas they bring back.“The fact that Dean Takahashi and a group of talented people are scouring the world for investable propositions related to climate change is perhaps the most exciting thing happening in this space on the planet,” says Environmental Defense Fund president Fred Krupp ’75 who has gotten to know Takahashi over the last several decades “This is a giant intellect applying himself to one of the major challenges of his generation.”When the lab finds an attractive idea—“attractive” implying and could one day prove economically sustainable—they often seek partnerships with other people or organizations attracted to or already working on the same idea This search for partnerships is the crux of their work and it is an approach that Takahashi borrowed from his years in the investments office the bias was toward managing university endowments internally They resisted with the simple logic that a greater pool of talent and expertise could be accessed beyond the reach of Yale’s recruitment arm They were in the business of cultivating relationships with smart people in other investment organizations as much as they were in the business of personally hiring smart people to make good investment decisions.The same formula animates the Carbon Containment Lab They join and support the efforts of other universities researchers—whoever it makes sense to partner with when pursuing a particular project “it’s tough to summarize how we work or who we are,” says Justin Freiberg ’10MESc He describes the lab as a “catalytic” force for “convening” and “coalition building,” adding that “the common thread is that we look for bottlenecks or limiting factors in a system which are designed to manage the tinder-dry overgrowth that is increasingly responsible for calamitous wildfires The standard practice for the US Forest Service is to clear and then burn this wood which releases the carbon dioxide stored in the wood back into the atmosphere The Carbon Containment Lab is studying the best way to bury these logs in shallow pits instead (The lab is also looking at ways to process this timber for use in modern wood skyscrapers.)The technology for wood vaults is relatively straightforward: dig a hole cover the wood so that it doesn’t decompose and emit greenhouse gases Nobody has researched the ideal conditions for preserving wood underground Having identified this lack of knowledge as a bottleneck the Carbon Containment Lab has partnered with the Forest Service and private companies to conduct experiments on seven sites across the country They have buried wood in different conditions and are digging it up in two-year intervals and hydrology affect the rates of decomposition and related greenhouse gas emissions. “Very few people are focused on this,” says Sinéad Crotty a director at the lab who is overseeing these experiments “We come back to this question with every project: how can we be uniquely beneficial to implementation?”The answer takes different shapes with each project In the case of the lab’s involvement in capturing and disposing of methane emissions from coal mines the science of these emissions is well understood as are the technologies required to abate them And so the lab has focused its energies on helping a group of entrepreneurs build a business case for their work partnering with them to craft an attractive investment opportunity and then raise funds for the initiative.Central to the lab’s work is the potential for the ideas it pursues to reach market viability the lab invests on timescales far longer than those of most private companies Many years may pass before an idea matures according to former Yale president and Carbon Containment Lab board member Rick Levin ’74PhD is precisely what the field of climate investment needs: money and other resources to help technologies cross the “valley of death” that separates lab-scale demonstrations from commercial application “is identifying the gaps to adoption and then bringing together the people and resources to close these gaps.”Given its ecumenical vision the name “Carbon Containment Lab” is becoming a relic of the group’s founding the most abundant and longest-lasting greenhouse gas traceable to human activity We have known about CO2’s effects for more than a century It is the greenhouse gas most prominent in public discourse But in the lab’s widening hunt for overlooked and economically attractive ways to prevent climate change they have gotten involved in the world of short-lived climate pollutants like methane and hydrofluorocarbons (used in refrigerants) Though these last only years or decades in the atmosphere compared to centuries or millennia for carbon dioxide 80 times and thousands of times more potent short-term drivers of warming than CO2 This makes them intensely problematic over the span of one or two decades. “One of the things I took from the investments office is that you go back to first principles,” Takahashi says this meant supporting the university in perpetuity it implies not just finding ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions “Just as David Swensen and I found that there was a lot of opportunity outside of the S&P 500 there is a lot of opportunity outside of fossil fuel–generated CO2.”The lab persuasively articulates the importance of this approach in a report titled “How to Win the Race Against Climate Change.” They note that decarbonization is a necessary goal for 2050—the target set through the United Nations climate treaty process But the world at large must simultaneously invest heavily in the abatement of shorter-lived greenhouse gases It could help avoid climate tipping points like the conversion of the Amazon rainforest to a savannah the irreversible melting of polar ice caps or the slowing and eventual stopping of ocean currents that define the Western Hemisphere’s pleasantly arable climate The loss of life and the human suffering likely involved if one or more of these thresholds is crossed would render the fight to cut carbon almost pointless.We’re doing an objectively bad job addressing this challenge Carbon emissions were at a record high in 2023 They are projected to set a new record in 2024 Temperature measures in recent years have dramatically exceeded baselines from climate models hitting numbers that climate scientist Zeke Hausfather ’08MEM described as “absolutely gobsmackingly bananas.” And yet the most recent round of international climate negotiations in Azerbaijan ended with annual financial commitments of only about $300 billion even though a London School of Economics study released during the conference suggested a need for roughly $6.5 trillion per year to sufficiently address the crisis.“If you just look at emissions and temperatures it’s not a good story,” Takahashi admits He’s pessimistic about our current political path He finds it highly unlikely that global temperatures can be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial averages—the aspirational target set by international climate negotiations in 2015 and one breached in 2024—and even two degrees appears to be a fading prospect these trends motivate the work of the lab. “Dean’s very focused on implementation on learning as quickly as possible and getting out there in the real world and trying things out,” Crotty says “That’s one of the things that is so encouraging in our work in a world where we see the effects of climate change almost daily.”Takahashi has met with organizations and individuals around the world and the lab is in various stages of collaboration on projects in the UK It has been five years since the lab started or prevent 30 million metric tons of carbon (or equivalent) emissions by 2030 amounting to more than half of annual emissions from the United States transportation sector But reflecting on Takahashi’s record at the investments office suggests it isn’t unreasonable to be hopeful Such magical results are what his team is reaching for when it comes to climate change.“Even if the outlook is grim we can have an impact if we really just work on problem solving on making all of these solutions come to fruition,” Takahashi says The agency again apologized to her fans and everyone involved for causing concern and inconvenience Takahashi herself thanked those who sent her social media messages and letters everyone at the studios who accommodated her hiatus everyone in the industry (particularly her colleagues) who gave advice and everyone at her agency who stood by her She added that this feels like another new step and vowed to work with renewed spirits while asking for her fans' support Takahashi is voicing the character Syrup in the Witch Watch anime which premiered on April 6, Ouka Shiunji in The Shiunji Family Children which premiered on April 8; and the Young Lady in the second Zenryoku Usagi season which premiered on April 9 Takahashi will return as

It won’t be easy but we have to compete and aim for a medal.” Takahashi Ran: Why Japan will be a force to reckon with at Paris 2024'The confidence is at another level' - In an exclusive interview the 22-year-old ace says Japan are ready to take the leap to the podium and end a 52-year medal drought at the Olympic Games 2 behind only Poland in the men’s world rankings Since their quarter-final exit at their home Games ended in tears Japan have made a steady climb up the ladder by demonstrating that they are capable of beating the top teams not by chance but with conviction Japan not only showed improvement but started backing it up with results They won their first-ever Nations League medal last year (bronze) and are back in the knockout phase this season set to play Canada in Friday’s (27 June) quarter-final Japan - who were drawn with the United States Argentina and Germany on Wednesday - are the team nobody wants to play through sheer accountability and dependability is the bedrock of the team but Takahashi is the star with his poster-boy looks and ace game made for the highlight reels He draws screams like the lead of a boy band not only in Japan but also abroad Three years ago when he made his Olympic debut Takahashi was the youngest player on the squad at 19 when he was still a university student The Kyoto native admits to being raw back then and the inadequacy he felt at the Games forced him to test the overseas waters in the Italian Serie A with Pallavolo Padova Takahashi saw team-mate Ishikawa grow as a player and as a man competing in Italy and knew he had to follow in his footsteps to reach the next level “I was selected to the Tokyo Olympics team as the youngest player but I was left frustrated with my lack of international experience not being able to do more,” Takahashi recalled “The Tokyo Olympics made me want to take a shot I felt like I had to go through that experience Playing overseas was the best way to improve the most Picture by Volleyball WorldTakahashi is a rock star - not only at home in Japan but also abroad Takahashi spent 2023-24 at Monza with who he reached the Coppa Italia final he recently signed with the Suntory Sunbirds in the V.League his first Japanese professional club in a big-money move it’s all coming together for Japan and Takahashi who has every intention of guiding his country to the promised land in Paris “We feel like we know how to beat the teams ranked above us Italy last season and we don’t see ourselves taking a backseat to any of them I think it says something about where we stand now against the world’s best The last three years after my dreams in Tokyo were shattered I’ve always wanted to be the one who leads the team to victory at the Paris Olympics Although I'm not a professional racing driver I'm surrounded by numerous professional racers who don't mind driving with me.Recently among them are both drivers who grew up with Honda and racing drivers who have long been with Toyota There's something I sense when talking to professional racing drivers.It's that everyone wants to drive the world's fastest cars.I think that's the way drivers are I'm the person who quit F1.So I think that drivers were never able to frankly talk about it in front of me.It was like there was always this inhibiting atmosphere in our pit I said in front of everyone that I had finally gotten back to being an ordinary older guy who loves cars that ordinary older car-loving guy Akio Toyoda had always regretted having blocked―by pulling out of F1―Japanese youths' path toward driving the world's fastest cars I dare to add that I still believe my decision as the president of Toyota to withdraw from F1 was not wrong I had the opportunity to speak with Team Principal Komatsu.Mr Komatsu himself is someone who has carved out big dreams who always allowed him to freely chase those dreams Komatsu and I have come to share the same desire to be a "father" who allows his children to chase their dreams I believe there are many children all over the country who we need to increase the number of such children I would like to see the day when a Super Formula driver grips the steering wheels of the world's fastest cars I look forward to working with you for the sake of the Japanese motorsports world And....to the media!Please make sure that tomorrow's headlines don't read: "Toyota Finally Returns to F1" it would be great to see headlines and articles that inspire Japanese children to dream of the possibility that they could one day drive the world's fastest cars These are Akio Toyoda's thoughts and his request for today I ask you all to please consider them favorably Good morning!I'm Takahashi of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing.Thank you for being here today Some might jump to the conclusion: "Toyota is back in F1!"But that's not the case what do you think?This MoneyGram Haas F1 Team racing car sports the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing logo and the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team have agreed to a technical partnership concerning the cultivation of young drivers and others and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team vehicle development Why are we entering into this technical partnership TGR has been implementing "driver-first" carmaking as strongly advocated by Chairman Akio Toyoda in which we repeatedly break and fix cars in the arena of motorsports and incorporate feedback from professional drivers into the development of production vehicles This is where the three elements of people and mechanics."Pipeline" refers to data analysis and utilization.And "product" refers to vehicle development Through this technical partnership,we aim to further strengthen people and learn the pipeline which is one of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team's strengths in F1 Of the three elements beginning with the letter "P" please let me explain more about "people" and "pipeline" F1 is the pinnacle of motorsports.The active roles of F1 drivers and mechanics can provide children with dreams it is extremely important to demonstrate such hope to the children who will be responsible for the automotive industry of the future has decided to establish a new driver development program to cultivate drivers who aim for the pinnacle of motorsports TGR training drivers will participate in MoneyGram Haas F1 Team test drives to gain experience in driving in F1 we believe it would be fantastic if we could develop drivers who can secure regular seats in F1 in the future And it will not only be drivers taking on challenges this time.TGR engineers and mechanics will also join MoneyGram Haas F1 Team at the motorsports pinnacle of F1

skillset is fully on display in the multimedia exhibition Peaceable Kingdom This marked not only Takahashi's first standalone show in Hong Kong but also his biggest to date displaying a vast assortment of work that includes some of his bronze sculptures Takahashi's artistic oeuvre is as gracefully dreamy as his acclaimed UNDERCOVER collections emphasizing beautifully surreal illustrations that're remarkably approachable rich palette informs Takahashi's softly realistic renderings of human faces and alien creatures just far-enough removed from convention to surprise They're also laden with deeper intent as the artist explained to us in a rare interview longtime fans of Takahashi's work will recognize several signatures including references to the UNDERCOVER Gilapple toy and several characters that've long appeared in collections because the past remains extant even in Takahashi's new creative future Highsnobiety: Can you describe your creative process when transitioning from fashion design to creating art What similarities and differences do you find Jun Takahashi: The biggest difference is teamwork — creating clothing requires teamwork [That process] is already completely different Does that mean that art as a medium allows you more creative freedom to express yourself but I would like to be at that point where I can be more free when I draw or creating with that sort of overarching idea But perhaps to be able to create something that is constantly changing without the need to always think about those things is the true meaning of being “free” How has using art as a medium allowed you to express ideas that you couldn't explore in fashion clothing is determined by the shape of the human body and you are designing the details within that framework when creating within a canvas where anything is possible The freedom that it gives me is completely different How do your cultural background and personal experiences shape your artistic identity [the works] really stem from the emotions I’m feeling at the time and the things I’ve been thinking about — it’s a direct expression of those Art and fashion are different because they express different things Fashion is all about designing clothing but it’s also determined by the person wearing the garment I think I am able to express myself with both Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked

— now as an artist when I started preparing for my first show Without it I don’t think I can create anything What is the significance of the exhibit's title Like with this painting [gestures to artwork] The differing opinions on what is “good” or “bad” are what causes strife or wars I hope to portray the harmony that can be achieved through understanding and acceptance That is something that I really wanted to express while creating my paintings and I try to express this in my works as well Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this YouTube video.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policySubscribe to Highsnobiety on YouTubeMany of your subjects have their eyes removed What is the creative reasoning behind this choice the lack of eyes will force people to think more the eyes itself express a predetermined tension or emotion you end up narrowing your perspective of the piece viewers are allowed a lot more room to interpret it can be interpreted differently by the listener the minute you look at it you try to understand it and imagine the circumstances of it That’s [what I find] most fun — that there’s no answer A lot of your previous works have been influenced by punk and in the last decade or so it has veered towards “But Beautiful,” a jazz song Does this also express your creative journey how in the beginning there are more frameworks you were working within (like in punk) And art being the ultimate freedom to allow viewers to interpret your works I don’t think viewers will make the connection and say “this is punk” I think art is more about personal analysis how the answer to “what is this painting about” reveals itself It’s better to not have an explanation at all I’ve always wanted to make something with bronze, and for last year’s exhibition I got to try my hand at it for the first time. GRACE is a shape that I’m familiar with, a form I’m familiar with, so I thought it would be good to recreate it in bronze. Can you share the story behind Gilapple and its significance and evolution in your body of work? Gilapple appears once in this exhibition. But in the apples here, it could represent puberty, or it could be seen as GRACE’s egg, food or something else entirely — other people could have other interpretations. With this painting, it’s an existence that is balancing or controlling atop a world in chaos, like a guilty pleasure that distracts you from what is really happening. And so the apple as a symbol has always evolved in a way, in your art. The motif for this exhibition gives the idea that the apples appear as a sweet contrast amongst a chaotic world. Throughout your career, you've navigated the balance between beauty and turmoil. Where do you find yourself leaning more at this moment, or is it always shifting? It’s always been a mix. That is how I want to be, and I don’t think there is one that I am leaning towards. For example, even if I’ve created something incredibly beautiful, there is bound to be something that’s not in there. I’m thinking about what to add to it to maintain the original balance of the garment and what to add or subtract from it. So my answer to that is… it depends on the thing I’m working on. Is there a medium that you haven't yet explored but would like to? I want to try ceramics… well, a lot of different things.

But I think it was better than doing nothing at all." I’m supported by a sponsor who provides me with supplements I believe that as long as I take the necessary nutrients a single stint in the Suzuka 8 Hours lasts about an hour I make sure to keep moving for over an hour I wouldn’t know how my body would hold up in the remaining half-hour." When does training for the Suzuka 8 Hours typically begin "I regularly train as part of competing in the All-Japan series but I start specific heat training around May or June" continued Takahashi "I plan my training sessions targeting on days when it's likely to be hot and train outdoors.. I think I’m more sensitive to heat than the average person I don’t find the Suzuka 8 Hours particularly tough But running for an hour is gruelling no matter what Could the reason for “not liking the Suzuka 8 Hours” be because a rider must pair up with others or because the lengthy race duration brings many uncertainties or perhaps because there are just too many factors beyond individual control I don’t think anyone actually likes the Suzuka 8 Hours Takahashi has claimed the most victories in Suzuka 8 Hours history with six wins and I’ve finally managed to surpass the record of Toru Ukawa (5 wins) Takumi Takahashi In the past two editions the team was built around Tetsuta Nagashima and the machine development focused on his preferences too this time the team was centered on Takahashi with the machine entirely developed to his specifications The 2024 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade/SP has been tuned for enhanced low and mid-range power delivery while its chassis features deliberately reduced rigidity to improve cornering performance the bike reflects my preferences" said Takahashi "My goal was to make it easier to ride and faster I can’t honestly say it was in perfect shape Although we had an advantage over other teams with our private testing sessions I felt that 'two test sessions weren't enough' (though there were also two joint test sessions) the machine still has significant room for improvement I'd say it was only at about 60-70% of its potential during the 8 Hours we should be able to achieve better qualifying lap times and the race itself should be much more manageable to ride." Given that the base machine was designed with improved cornering performance it would be natural for the 8 Hours HRC factory machine to inherit these characteristics The base model itself was designed around the lower-rigidity Pirelli tyres used in the SBK (Superbike World Championship) which likely resulted in the reduced frame rigidity How did the HRC factory machine address this "I think many All-Japan riders using Bridgestone tyres on kit CBRs were dissatisfied at first The frame’s rigidity wasn’t sufficient to match the tyres Before the tyres could compress fully (to maximise contact) "So I proposed increasing the frame rigidity But it’s not just about the frame; there’s also the balance with the swingarm (the kit bikes still use the traditional swingarm designed for higher-rigidity frames) Seki (the lead developer for the Suzuka 8 Hours machine) from HRC first visited the All-Japan series and heard these complaints which led to the development of the 8 Hours-spec machine even in All-Japan series we’ve been working on things like reducing the machine’s weight by removing unnecessary components areas of the frame identified as weak were reinforced It’s a machine where rigidity and weight have been meticulously optimised." the 8 Hours-spec HRC factory machine was fundamentally different from the kit bike I was able to clock lap times in the 2 min 5s range the temperature in late May was cooler than during the 8 Hours but I don’t think the All-Japan-spec bike had ever achieved a 2 min 6s lap." Takumi Takahashi believed that riding the 2024 model CBR1000RR-R in the same way as previous models wouldn’t make the most of its characteristics leaned the bike into an extreme full lean for extended periods during corners minimized the time spent in full lean and navigated corners like the Dunlop Corner by cutting sharply inside I thought changing the riding approach might better bring out the 2024 model's potential" Takahashi continued "I've always believed that taking a tight inside line at Dunlop Corner is the best approach and we've developed the machine to match that riding strategy." Because the 2024 Suzuka 8 Hours-spec machine was fine-tuned by Takahashi riding along his preferred lines made it faster and smoother adapted to the machine without changing Takahashi's setup learning his riding style and lines to apply them in actual competition "I have confidence that I can adapt to any machine and while I have the speed as a MotoGP rider My challenge was to adapt myself to his settings without disrupting them where power and aggressive braking dominate where there’s no electronic aid—you can adapt through extensive track time." Zarco transitions from scraping his right elbow at the Reverse Bank (off-camber corner right-hander) to scraping his left elbow at the Dunlop Corner (uphill left-hander) with sharper and smoother precision than anyone else "Since the machine was designed with that line in mind I think it’s the best and easiest way to ride" said Takahashi and he already knew I had competed in the Suzuka 8 Hours 15 times and won five of them It might not have been a machine tailored to his preferences but he understood that riding it as intended would yield the best results He studied my data and incorporated the strengths he saw into his own approach." Takahashi informed his teammates from the beginning that the machine was set up for tight inside lines and he said he 'wanted to follow my lines,' so we rode together We discussed things like where he could improve his approach I told him that ‘this way of riding is both easier on the tyres and more effective and we've set up the machine specifically to work with this style.'” one might expect him to have strong pride and insist on his preferred machine setup he showed his cleverness by accepting his role as a “guest rider” and placed his trust in Takahashi acknowledging this as the best strategy to achieve victory Zarco also highlighted the HRC factory machine’s superior traction "The YART Yamaha slides at the rear in the final corner but the HRC machine can maintain grip there allowing us to accelerate smoothly onto the straight," Zarco observed This advantage in traction stems from the engine characteristics "The machine was designed to generate excellent traction I have consistently emphasised that with corners being inevitable What matters more is not having a 5 km/h higher top speed but how quickly you can reach that speed." "I really felt this when I participated in BSB (British Superbike Championship) My teammate back then was fast simply because he knew the tracks well enough to compensate for the machine’s weaknesses I think the direction we took for the 2024 model was correct These improvements are beneficial for the future as well Honda was undoubtedly faster than its rivals its excellent fuel efficiency became another key advantage for us." The Three Riders of 2024 "Team HRC with Japan Post": Johann Zarco and Teppei Nagoe (from left) Top 10 Trial on Race Tyres!?Interestingly who had not participated in the Top 10 Trial before and I don't necessarily have to be the one riding in the Top 10 Trial You’re setting good lap times.’ I would have been fine with Zarco and Teppei doing it if they wanted to but I went with hard race tyres instead of soft qualifying tyres Teppei and Zarco used soft tyres for their time attacks but I didn’t like how the soft tyres would compress too much and change the bike’s posture race tyres could warm up within a single lap and deliver good lap times." Takahashi knew he could set even faster lap times with a setup tailored for soft tyres but didn’t want to adjust the machine’s setup before the race Both Takahashi and Zarco participated in the Top 10 Trial with Takahashi clocking 2’05.621 and Zarco slightly faster at 2’05.553 Nagoe had set a time of 2’05.980 during qualifying.) fast lap times can be achieved even on race tyres The pole position was taken by YART Yamaha with a time of 2’05.130 the team’s objective was simply to be within the top five "With new tyres on both front and rear and a full tank of gas I think that lap time was my personal best during the 8 Hours week." Takahashi holds the all-time lap record in the All-Japan JSB1000 set during the MFJ Grand Prix qualifying on November 9 YART Yamaha (Niccolò Canepa) broke away in the lead with DUCATI Team KAGAYAMA (Ryo Mizuno) chasing and making some very close passes—they were really battling it out (Running in third until mid-race) I watched them from behind thinking ‘those two are going to be trouble.’ The first stint is particularly demanding because there are two additional laps (sighting lap and warm-up lap "I stayed in the slipstream to avoid going full throttle on the straights and conserved the tyres in the corners the pace wasn’t picking up as much as I expected the gap to second place started to grow gradually #2 DUCATI Team KAGAYAMA (Panigale V4R) The YART Yamaha team Takahashi led from laps 10 to 14 with a margin of over 3 seconds resulting in a full-course caution that lasted only 14–15 seconds another incident triggered a localised yellow caution that was quickly cleared Takahashi’s lap time for lap 15 was 2’17.802 while the previous lap (lap 14) had been 2’07.795 he recovered with a 2’07.802 and reclaimed the lead "While I appreciate the officials handling the situation quickly I wish they had at least shown the green flag I was watching the safety car signals carefully as I didn't want to get a penalty So when Ryo (Mizuno) caught up and passed me I took that as confirmation that it was OK to race and picked up my pace." Takahashi immediately regained the lead from Mizuno Takahashi remained calm and built a gap of about 10 seconds to second place by the end of the first stint "Even if Yamaha or DUCATI had been lapping in the 2 min 6s range I could have responded to that pace as well." Takahashi was unexpectedly assigned the final stint to take the chequered flag I got the best parts of the race—the start and the finish—but you could also say it was a huge responsibility this was his first Suzuka 8 Hours as part of the HRC factory team and the pressure of leading must have been more intense than he anticipated he was riding during the hottest part of the day ‘Let’s make sure to do more heat tolerance training next time.’" The race's final stages saw unexpected drama the team was penalised for a crew member other than the refueller touching the bike during refuelling The penalty options were either a 10-second stop-and-go or a 40-second time addition to the final race time The team opted for the 40-second time addition but the problem was how to communicate this to Takahashi Then the team decided to change the pit board which had previously shown "+50" (indicating a 50-second lead) to "+10," reflecting the reduced lead by 40 seconds "The gap suddenly dropped so much that I thought I was looking at someone else’s pit board there is a tower displaying race positions and time countdown requiring riders to lift their heads quite high to see it (which is particularly difficult while in a tucked position on the straight) Takahashi checked how much race time was left I thought there’s no way anyone could close a 10-second gap in two laps but I still couldn’t understand what was going on HRC Factory ultimately won the race with a time of 8 hr 1 min 29.693s including the 40-second penalty The gap to second-place YART Yamaha was just 7.860s Takahashi learned the full story after the finish The mechanic in charge of the rear section had lowered the swingarm stand before the refuelling rig was removed Whether the "Hai" (Yes/OK) signal meant the refuelling was complete or was misheard from elsewhere… it became the source of confusion The mechanic responsible for the +40-second penalty had no choice but to apologise "The mechanic has been with us for a long time you’d be in big trouble.’ I watched the footage as well but I think there was a lack of coordination between the team management and the mechanics at that point." Precisely because this was not a routine pit stop the refuelling amount was unusual (less than normal) The mistake occurred because they were working until the end with the mindset of wanting to save even a second in the pit work you really appreciate when crews can save you a second during pit stops a win is a win even with a 7-second margin Whether it’s a 50-second or a 7-second margin the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade/SP achieved its third consecutive win and Takahashi secured an unprecedented sixth victory in the race's history HRC claimed their 3rd consecutive win at Suzuka 8 Hours and Takumi Takahashi made history as the first rider to achieve six victories in the race Written by: Tomoya Ishibashi　Photography by: Naoyuki Shibata/Honda　Edited by: Shigeki Ueno Source: https://mc-web.jp/life/154937/ ADB is a leading multilateral development bank supporting inclusive and sustainable growth across Asia and the Pacific Working with its members and partners to solve complex challenges together ADB harnesses innovative financial tools and strategic partnerships to transform lives ADB is owned by 69 members—50 from the region Masato KandaADB President ADB supports projects in developing member countries that create economic and development impact delivered through both public and private sector operations Learn about ADB activities in member countries and regional offices Get information on country economic data and analysis | Русский | 中文 | Bahasa Indonesia | Tiếng Việt | 日本語 With employees from more than 60 countries Work with us to find fulfillment in sharing your knowledge and skills and be a part of our vision in achieving a prosperous | 日本語 News Release | 07 April 2025Read time: 2 mins MANILA, PHILIPPINES (7 April 2025) — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has appointed Sayaka Takahashi as the new Representative at its Japanese Representative Office (JRO) in Tokyo, Japan.  Ms. Takahashi will lead efforts to raise ADB’s profile, build relationships with Japanese stakeholders, and support strong linkages between Japan and ADB’s initiatives in Asia and the Pacific.  Prior to this appointment, Ms. Takahashi served as Principal Secretariat Specialist at ADB’s Office of the Secretary (SEC), where she acted as the primary liaison between ADB’s Governors, Directors, Management, and staff, overseeing Board of Directors operations and Management administration, among other responsibilities. “I look forward to deepening our relationship with various stakeholders in Japan and connecting Japan’s knowledge and expertise with ADB activities to support our developing member countries (DMCs),” said Ms. Takahashi. “By working together with our partners, we aim to address the most pressing and complex development challenges in Asia and the Pacific.” Ms. Takahashi holds a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard University’s John F.

The recent Supreme Court ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson held that it does not violate the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment to ban individuals from sleeping outdoors even if they have nowhere else to go It is crucial to recognize the utter cruelty of such treatment of homelessness The increasing police raids on homeless encampments should be condemned for what they are — pointless Clearing encampments will not necessarily help homeless people find adequate shelter but rather will continually displace homeless communities out of the public’s sight.  This is especially concerning because people experiencing homelessness often face many barriers in obtaining such items in the first place which recently opened after a significant delay We must proactively make our voices heard to local officials to condemn police raids and harassment and to ask them to support legislation that aims to bar such cruel actions Remi Takahashi ’28 can be reached at san_kwon@brown.edu ayla_kattler@brown.edu and

Thanks for visiting Ridiculously Powerful Deep Value Stock Screener Johnny HopkinsNovember 7, 2024PodcastsLeave a Comment Ben Beneche discussed Knot Theory Meets Private Equity: The Takahashi-Alexander Model Explained actually studying knots and the mathematics behind knots It’s really these loops that are in three-dimensional space that they don’t intersect with themselves and tying into a loop and then joining the ends There’s actually mathematical theories behind all this The main goal is really to classify and understand different types of knots and studying their properties and how they relate to each other There’s these things about knots that don’t change even when they’re stretched and twisted the number of crossings within a knot is an invariant and counts how many times it crosses itself Another important invariant is this Alexander polynomial it’s like this mathematical tool that helps you distinguish between different knots Keep that name in the back of your mind for a minute longer Another thing is this thing called Takahashi manifolds which are a special concept in knot theory These are three dimensional spaces created from knots where they have this thing called Dehn and then reglue it back together in a new way to form different 3D spaces and unique properties I’m just [Tobias laughs] reading off the teleprompter But there’s actually some practical applications from all this this knot theory helps understand these complex phenomena like quantum entanglement and how particles become interconnected in strange ways also studying knots has actually led to improvements in how we allocate resources in complex systems but they actually can help in logistical planning here’s where things get a little bit weird and coincidental the Takahashi manifolds and the Alexander polynomials in the world of like large capital allocation like endowments there’s a model that’s used to help forecast cash flows for private equity and venture capital The name of that is the Takahashi-Alexander model It was developed in 2001 by Dean Takahashi and Seth Alexander at Yale University No relation to these mathematical knot people was famous for David Swensen’s trailblazing asset allocation models that he did Takahashi and Alexander were both Swenson acolytes what’s this Takahashi Alexander model in the endowment world It’s a framework for estimating future cash flows and valuations in private equity and venture capital portfolios It can be really difficult for an allocator to plan because the money is typically called in chunks over the life the money’s then distributed after these businesses are liquidated the model helps you figure out how much money you’ll need to invest upfront and rolling as the investment period runs and then when can you expect to get it back The analogy might be like if you’re planning a road trip and you need to know how much gas you’ll need to buy along the route how many snacks you can afford to buy along the way You don’t want to end up stranded in Barstow with no gas money the Takahashi-Alexander model helps you plan out this liquidity scheduling it relies heavily on assumptions about the future contributions and distribution then the model’s going to give you pretty crap in it can lead to overconfidence in your predictions because it gives you a single point estimate outcome and not really a range of probabilities people have taken that now and run like Monte Carlo simulations lots of historical data inputted that helps you create a range of possible outcomes instead of just one single prediction That makes it a little bit more of a probabilistic approach let’s see if we can wed knot theory and cash flow planning into some unholy matrimony a lot of the key lessons remain

former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito will fight his protege Hiromu Takahashi This came about after the duo had won NJPW’s World Tag League The World Tag League had boiled down to SANADA & Gabe Kidd vs Natio and Takahashi and it was one hell of a battle Naito & Takahashi were able to put down the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion for the three count the situation regarding the NJPW World Tag Team titles is pretty sticky at the moment That’s because HENARE - ½ of the world tag team champions- is currently dealing with an injury New Japan Pro Wrestling officials have stripped the duo of the belts but these won't be getting a crack at them the former got on the mic and challenged Hiromu to a match at Wrestle Kingdom 19 instead The match between Naito and Takahashi has been in the making for years as the duo was originally scheduled to face one another in March 2020 but the bout was ultimately scrapped due to COVID-19 The next few weeks should be interesting as the match was

away as the two night event is scheduled for January 4 & 5th How many fans thrilled to hear voice actor Hayashibara Megumi roar this line again when the all-new anime adaptation of manga artist Takahashi Rumiko’s sublime martial arts rom-com Ranma 1/2 began streaming on October 5 Promotional art for the all-new Ranma 1/2 anime The series is broadcast on the Nippon Television Network System and available for streaming on Netflix Shōgakukan/Ranma 1/2 Production Committee) The protagonist of Ranma 1/2 is Saotome Ranma a 16-year-old boy raised by his father to be the next head of the Saotome Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts But Ranma has a secret: he was knocked into a cursed pond by his father during a training session in China and now he magically turns into a girl when splashed with cold water Ranma goes back and forth between girl and boy as he battles a series of bizarre rivals while bickering with (but gradually drawing closer to) Tendō Akane the girl introduced to him as his betrothed The original manga version of Ranma 1/2 began serialization in 1987 No doubt fans of Takahashi’s previous work Urusei Yatsura (1978–87) chuckled to see Ranma’s cry of “I’m a boy!” because they would have recognized it as the mirror image of Urusei Yatsura character Fujinami Ryūnosuke’s catchphrase Ryūnosuke makes a striking debut in Urusei Yatsura seeming to be a boy with beautiful features clad in a handsome gakuran school uniform Her father wanted a male heir and raised her as a son and so she uses the rough male-coded first-person pronoun ore and has great physical strength Fascinated by things like sērāfuku (sailor-suit-style female school uniforms) and bras she struggles valiantly to overcome her father’s interference and live like a normal girl Fujinami Ryūnosuke—handsome (Courtesy the “Takahashi Rumiko Information” X account @rumicworld1010; © Takahashi Rumiko/Shōgakukan) Ryūnosuke’s first appearance was in 1982 It took until 1985 for Japan to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and in 1986 the country passed its first Equal Opportunity Employment Law gender equality was not yet part of the public debate and there was powerful social pressure to confirm to masculine or feminine norms stylish and cool but innocent at heart: Such was the ideal man during the Shōwa era (1926–89) Ryūnosuke undermined them by meeting them despite being a girl Takahashi wrote that she “made it a rule for Urusei Yatsura that all good-looking male characters had to be idiots,” but “sometimes you do want to draw a cool male character who really is cool. . .  That’s when inspiration struck: Maybe people would accept a character like that if she was actually female” (from Mangaka-bon Vol As the “orthodox”—albeit female—hunk of Urusei Yatsura Ryūnosuke is constantly surrounded by adoring girls Nagisa both reflects the ideal Shōwa woman and—like Ryūnosuke—slips through these fixed conceptions simply by inverting the genders involved Ryūnosuke’s betrothed Shiowatari Nagisa reveals his gender in volume 32 of Urusei Yatsura or the “Rumic World,” transcending boundaries is a regular theme bears the less than heroic name of “Invader.” The arrival of Ryūnosuke was a watershed moment after which the crossing of gender boundaries—or fluctuation among the genders—became a regular theme “Ranma 1/2 is what you might call ‘gender-free,’ with shifts from male to female and female to male I really wanted to explore that kind of idea,” said Takahashi in Rumic World 35: All Stars Ryūnosuke “brought new energy” to Urusei Yatsura when Takahashi was struggling to come up with fresh ideas for the series: “The character’s gender was ambiguous and she was fun to draw,” recalls the artist The experience roused Takahashi’s creative impulse to new heights in which gender fluctuations were even freer and more sweeping Ranma initially insists that he is a boy and refuses to act like a girl in any way but gradually becomes prepared to dress as a girl if that’s what it takes to win a fight Saotome Ranma Ranma puts on a frilly dress to go on a date with a boy I’ll even be the prettiest li’l thing you ever saw!” On other occasions he dresses like a Playboy bunny or in nothing but lingerie Girl Ranma dresses up for a date in the hopes of becoming “all-male all the time” in volume 15 of Ranma 1/2 The harder Ranma strives to attain masculinity it is when he freely flexes his feminine side that his mind is at its most manly This freewheeling back-and-forth between manliness and womanliness effects a transition toward a situation in which the two states are equal to one another all of the characters whose genders are ambiguous in some way—including Ranma himself; Kuonji Ukyō a girl who has “abandoned femininity” and dresses like a boy; and another male character who pines for Ukyō and dresses like a girl—are heterosexual in Kataritsukuse netsuai jidai (Telling It All About the Passionate Years) “Male-female interactions are the foundation you can’t leave out the elements of male and female.” The first character to break that unspoken rule was Jakotsu one of the antagonists in Inuyasha (serialized 1996–2008) Jakotsu is a man who dresses in women’s kimono While Urusei Yatsura’s Ryūnosuke was the result of starting with a hunk and sliding him toward femininity Jakotsu was originally conceived as female but ended up being male when Takahashi realized she was reluctant to depict “Inuyasha fighting a woman to the death,” as she put it “It was the first time I drew a male character that liked men,” Takahashi has stated Jakotsu’s development and design revolved around femininity so he can also be read as a gay character depicting a variation on heterosexual romance Jakotsu falling in love at first sight with the title character in volume 24 of Inuyasha with a conventionally masculine appearance childhood friend of the series’ protagonist Rokudō Rinne having pursued self-improvement in terms of appearance and intellect through sheer effort with no interest whatsoever in the affections of his beautiful female classmate Anju Matsugo in a white tuxedo in volume 22 of Rin-ne also wears a tuxedo rather than being depicted as “playing the female role.” (© Takahashi Rumiko/Shōgakukan) Matsugo insists that what he feels for Rinne is “friendship,” but those around him are quick to remark “You mean love.” When the characters visit a world where people can dream whatever they wish Matsugo skips with Rinne in matching tuxedos through a field of flowers “Let us vow eternal friendship at the chapel!” The result is a slapstick story that goes back and forth between classic male-female romance—like in a shōjo manga where a heroine’s rescuer proves to be a long-lost childhood friend—and a “bromance” between two men characters who transgress gender boundaries leap over fixed conceptions in their quest to attain the appearance or relationship they want They are gloriously energetic and freewheeling guided not by common sense but by who they truly are it should not be overlooked that they are all treated as comic relief or abnormal “perverts.” Urusei Yatsura Ranma 1/2—each of these works reflects the values of its time Takahashi Rumiko’s current series Mao is still ongoing in the weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine always at the forefront of the shōnen manga scene how will Takahashi depict transgressors against gender that no one will laugh at We can only look forward to the day she effortlessly transcends both the expectations of her fans and the hidebound views of gender that still linger Shōgakukan/Ranma 1/2 Production Committee.)
