The Paris newspapers were there to record the American invasion most of the ink devoted to Weissmuller and Hawaii’s Duke Kahanamoku the two-time Olympic gold medal winner in the 100-meter freestyle These Games would bring a much-awaited showdown between the twenty-year-old upstart and the thirty-four-year-old elder statesman Though the two men were public comrades on the same American team with athletes more aligned with hometown sporting clubs than the stars-and-stripes-branded national organization Weissmuller was the face of Chicago’s cockily dominant Illinois Athletic Club Kahanamoku was the face of territorial Hawaii which had raised the funds for all three of his Olympic appearances He and his Waikiki beach friends had become locally famous years earlier when they started their own grassroots club Magazines and newspapers were obsessed with the swimmers’ physical numbers — height Weissmuller had smaller feet: size ten and a half to Kahanamoku’s thirteen The defending Olympic champ had larger hands Future high-flying dunkers like Wilt Chamberlain and Dr J had similar sized hands but were seven-foot-one and six-seven The fascination with Duke’s hands was such that an avid memorabilia collector considered a hastily drawn outline of them on lined notebook paper his most cherished Kahanamoku artifact Both Weissmuller and Kahanamoku shared the perfect body proportions of long upper torsos and comparatively short legs commonly the same length as a person’s height Longer arms equated to longer distance per stroke People were still not clear on what truly governed speed — early crawl adoptees mistakenly emphasized a fast windmilling stroke — but it eventually would be apparent that stroke length How fast the two swimmers could push each other was the question It hit upon a larger question that pervaded all human exploits from running to flying to auto racing to mountain climbing: What was the limit of possibility British alpinists George Mallory and Andrew Irvine were clawing their way up Mount Everest despite the prevailing belief that no one could survive the upper reaches where life-sustaining oxygen was scarce Anything was possible in the record-setting age before the freestyle stroke was universally adopted the barrier to be broken was 100 yards in one minute Weissmuller was threatening to break fifty seconds slicing through water at a rate of speed akin to runners circling a park Humans had been land animals but they were something else now The wild card in the coming showdown was Weissmuller himself Could the exuberant star stay out of trouble Weissmuller had heard an anti-American jeer from a passing bicycle rider dragging him to the ground and badly beating him and only because of coach Bill Bachrach’s persuasive defense did he avoid being sent home Just before they had disembarked the SS America he had sternly reminded everybody aboard: “Now remember you are ambassadors of the United States “an army cantonment without any soldiers,” in one writer’s words looked like a dusty Old West outpost — a smattering of shacks Every day the swim team left the Piscine des Tourelles outdoor stadium for lunch at Gruber’s American Café where they returned for dinner following the afternoon training session Rarely was the team happy with the food or the service The favorite pairing was the champion swimmer Gertrude Ederle (soon to become famous for being the first woman to swim the English Channel) and the runner Joseph “Joie” Ray officials eventually found out and put a stop to the matches There were numerous formal events where the swim team was expected to be polished representatives of their country They were feted at the Place de la Concorde and did water stunts at the Sporting Club There were hundreds of ways for Weissmuller to make the wrong kind of news The coaches and American dignitaries simply held their breath Both turned heads but for opposite reasons the original record setters of modern times had faded faster than anyone thought likely having dramatically changed everything in a comparative heartbeat — the antiquated strokes and breathing techniques of their last Olympic outing their unshakable belief in a swimming style that dated back to the samurai era As they watched the Japanese during training sessions British experts admitted they were impressed and predicted they would have to look out for them at the next Olympic Games in four years’ time Instead the early results suggested something unthinkable: They had to look out right now They had to beware of one swimmer in particular In the opening round of qualifiers in the first middle distance event an unknown nineteen-year-old named Katsuo Takaishi had not only advanced but swam faster than the favored British there were few racing coaches in Japan and only two swimming pools one of which Takaishi and his teenaged teammates had dug for themselves He was part of a tiny Japanese delegation of twenty-four athletes versus 350 Americans As an Asian who was dismissed as just one more of the “little yellow men” by the French founder of the modern Games Takaishi surely shared a sensibility with the Pacific Islander He knew what it was like to be demeaned as less than But he also had the arrogance of Weissmuller He would go on to become the first Asian to medal in the Olympics in swimming and from 1924 to 1928 was considered the leading challenger to Weissmuller’s sprint crown Observers in Paris watched Takaishi and saw something unorthodox One Australian reporter argued that his flutter kick couldn’t account for his speed given he had small feet and hands “of which any woman would feel proud.” He was clearly double-jointed The Australian newspapers would mix admiration with racist stereotypes when Takaishi visited the Commonwealth two years later The White Australia policy had long barred immigration of Asians and Pacific Islanders Swimmer Noel Ryan wrote in a coaching bulletin “[the] Japanese crawl was aided by natural looseness and development of the thighs and ankles — probably made so strong and supple by centuries of squatting around the communal rice bowl.” his agility and flexibility evoking muscle and sinew rather than stiff skeletal framing He didn’t require freakish hands the size of dinner plates and feet like fins The fans threw their support behind the small outlier they

of each other in a front-row box beneath the diving platform and motion picture operators worked the deck nicknamed “Le Parleur Inconnu” (the unknown speaker) He had been banned at the start of the

Star-Spangled Banner” and three American flag raisings since morning In one of the most U.S.– dominant days in Olympic history the Americans had won three consecutive races and the 100-meter women’s freestyle and winning all but one of the other six medals “Looks like an American holiday,” said Clary to the American VIPs in attendance Many of the track-and-field athletes who competed in the weeks earlier had gone home but some had stayed to see swimming’s battle of the century had stayed around with the apparently unrealized dream of a midnight journey up a Paris flagpole to swipe an Olympic flag If coaches was concerned that Duke Kahanamoku and his brother Sam—another elite Hawaiian on the U.S team—would race together to defeat Weissmuller someone had taken care of it by putting Sam in lane one Johnny and Duke were next to one another in lanes four and five There was no evidence that the brothers would have engaged in cynical tactics if the trio were clumped together — for example Sam and Duke squeezing Johnny by boxing him in and disrupting his stroke There was no history of such behavior by either brother but having Sam unavailable to help Duke was a boon to Weissmuller’s positive race psychology Weissmuller could relax knowing the biggest doomsday scenario was erased The 400-meter final on Friday had required a Weissmuller effort few had seen before He had been taken to the limit by Sweden’s Arne Borg and the Aussie Andrew Charlton He had gathered himself for a triumphant come-from-behind sprint in the final 100 meters he needed to clutch hold of the guard rope to keep from falling over Weissmuller was also anxious about how the crowd would receive him howling at his comedic antics but hissing when he disrespected his competitors In the 400- meter preliminaries he had drawn the fans’ ire when he waved his hands around on the final lap to “show how easily he was taking it.” He had no time to recover given Saturday’s 100-meter prelims and the 4-by-200 relay final In the latter he didn’t have the strongest team to support him A core group of Chicago-based swimmers replaced the Hawaiians like Duke who had helped win gold for the U.S Weissmuller managed to swim a blistering anchor leg to record a new world-record time The Americans knew a good start couldn’t win the 100-meter race but a bad start could lose it Duke tended to project more steeply downward eager to get into the water and begin stroking stretching his long body for as long as it could fly Moments before he hit the water he didn’t appear to be diving at all; he held his line as straight as a pencil and legs in what he and Bachrach described as a “shallow plunge.” The pancake landing prevented his body from going as deep as most other swimmers at the start His slightly bent right leg was poised to kick at the same instant he landed Bill Bachrach thought he had slow reflexes He didn’t want Johnny to try to beat any gun kicking his feet six times for every full stroke

our program into a leader in performance on the course Women’s golf is coming off one of the most successful seasons in its history and has continued to perform at a high level this year We look forward to the continued upward momentum under Kathleen’s leadership.” Takaishi led the Wolf Pack to one of its best seasons in program history in 2022-23 as Nevada captured three team titles with senior Victoria Gailey competing in the NCAA Regionals as an individual marking the fifth time a Nevada women’s golfer qualified for NCAAs Nevada set program records for the best single-round score

signed her extension below The struggle to survive emotionally-charged physically demanding situations can often become easier with the introduction of humor That has certainly driven the success of the action comedy film genre especially when they include mismatched protagonists The new martial arts-driven action comedy, Baby Assassins 2 the sequel to the hit 2021 feature Baby Assassins is one such alluring slacker comedy with some extreme action beats Writer-director Yugo Sakamoto and lead actresses Akari Takaishi and Saori Izawa returned to the franchise to make Baby Assassins 2 The trio once again elevates the standard for thrilling and hilarious slacker action-comedies with their latest collaboration Set two years after their epic quarrel with the Assassin Guild and a brutal killer in the first film Baby Assassins 2 follows the titular killers as they’re still living together as roommates The excessively cutesy and excitable Chisato discovers they haven’t paid their gym membership in approximately four years The last payment they made to the gym was when they first joined on a whim in high school and now their years of overdue fees must be paid before they lose their membership in the Assassin Guild ask questions later partner must settle their debts or incur another late penalty The girls’ frantic journey to resolve their bill leads on a wacky but equally comical journey While trying to send a last-minute payment to the gym the assassins’ bank is taken hostage Chisato and Mahiro must give up their preferred easygoing lifestyle of enjoying food binges between executing their big-money targets With all their money spent on elaborate sweets the pair are forced to take part-time jobs while waiting to be reinstated by the Assassin Guild as hired killers The girls face further conflict when a duo of determined brother assassins — Makoto (Tatsuomi Hamada) and Yuri (Joey Iwanaga) — who want to steal their spot in the Assassin Guild begin targeting them The girls take whatever means necessary in order to survive Action comedies often thrive on their ability of creating genuine emotional tension between their stunt work and humorous gags Baby Assassins 2 instead largely appeals to both fans of its predecessor and series newcomers through the absurdity of its entire plot Takaishi and Izawa once again highlight Chisato and Mahiro’s commitment to carrying out the Assassin Guild’s physically challenging – and possibly lethal – missions for them The actresses also maintain the spirit of the original film’s toned down emotional tension and lack of true moral quandary by focusing on the protagonists’ lighthearted nature engaging action sequences as gorging on a variety of food Despite its deviance from other action comedies Baby Assassins 2 still thrives in its approach to serving as a quirky character dissection While it features fewer action set pieces than movies like Timo Tjahjanto’s The Night Comes For Us Sakamoto’s latest feature still keeps the characters’ adrenaline pumping Whether Chisato and Mahiro are running to the bank to pay their bill before it’s due because they continuously procrastinate or take on jobs as lottery vendor spokespeople in animal suits when they’re suspended from the Assassin’s Guild they amusingly show that they don’t think about long-term consequences Takaishi and Izawa once again have effortless chemistry as their unique but equally relatable protagonists in the new sequel The dynamic actresses are synchronized as co-stars whether they’re telling jokes or engaged in tandem combat The duo’s free-spirited bond infuses the franchise’s dangerous world of assassins with charm when they’re dispatched to kill their dangerous opponents The protagonists’ physicality was crafted by another series veteran who also worked on the stunts for the original movie His work once again brilliantly takes advantage of the space the scenes take place in as well as the performers’ physicalities and abilities Standout action sequences in the follow-up include when the girls frantically but nonchalantly react when they initially realize they have to pay their massive gym debt while in their shared apartment Another standout action sequence follows the girls as they’re prancing around in their animal costumes for their new part-time lottery jobs which quickly turns into a fun but compelling brawl between them Besides their stellar portrayals of Sonomura‘s stuntwork the actresses once again play well off of each other in their characters’ bombastic and drastically different personalities Takaishi once again plays Chisato as bubbly and goofy while Izawa plays Mahiro as more sedate and sensible While Chisato and Mahiro serve as the feature’s protagonists Baby Assassins 2 is ultimately an ensemble comedy and the rest of the cast is equally strong in their comedic and physical performances Hamada and Iwanaga also portray Makoto and Yuri as being just as likable a pair despite their ambition to take over the girls’ spots in the Assassin Guild Baby Assassins 2 relentlessly fights to prove its worth as a comedically stellar exhilarating action-packed feature that needs to be seen on as big of a screen as possible As with the franchise’s first installment Izawa and Takaishi slay in their performances as they struggle with their day jobs while scheming to be accepted back into the Assassin Guild Both actresses once again perfectly take their protagonists’ over-the-top humor and Sonomura‘s awe-inspiring fight choreography to even greater heights in the sequel including questioning their worth at their jobs and where they belong in overall society into the everyday lives of the film’s low-level assassins premiere on September 21 during

brake for the accelerator These are the ultimate causes of collisions the real risk lies in the feeling of anxiety drivers experience while driving Every driver is feeling various concerns while driving Some say they are worried about becoming a cause of a problem and others say their concerns are more about themselves and their families Some are worried about how they can stay away from collisions caused by others Driving while feeling such anxiety has an effect on the driver such as operating errors and a narrow field of vision announced that Honda will strive for zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles globally by 2050 we must eliminate risks that lead to collisions Honda aims to realize a society in which people can travel with complete peace of mind what we need is not only the mechanisms for automobiles and motorcycles * Source: The National Police Agency report on the number of fatalities caused by traffic accidents Safety technologies such as ADAS are generally considered as measures for the time of these technologies are designed for collision avoidance and collision damage mitigation it is important to further advance these technologies to make our vehicles safer advancement of automobile and motorcycle technologies and the traffic environment are not enough to realize zero traffic collision fatalities all over the world because “people” are the ultimate cause of traffic collisions We want to build a society where people can enjoy mobility freely with total peace of mind by eliminating the worries and anxieties of people while driving and liberating people from the risk of collisions The initial step Honda engineers took to address these fundamental challenges was to sincerely consider people issues shared the story about how the research in this field started and what kind of technologies resulted from the research It all began with considering the concerns and worries of our customers and each customer experiences different concerns depending on the situation Please take a look at these nine concerns we identified Have you felt any of these during your routine driving These worries cause driver operating errors and distraction the feeling of anxiety has already heightened the risk of a collision before the collision actually occurs This means the driver does not have to come close to risking a collision but we want to go further and create a situation where the driver doesn’t even feel there are risks Pursuing drivers’ peace of mind will lead to the realization of a society with zero traffic collision fatalities Honda has conducted a comprehensive study of human beings we conducted discussions with outside experts including some futurists to think about what our society will look like in the future What became clear to us was that people’s desire to act on their own will become stronger technology that does not cater to each individual’s desires and wishes will not be accepted It is not only about fully automating mobility products and eliminating collisions Honda’s goal is to enable people to drive with confidence Wouldn’t it be great if technologies can support insecure drivers to make no mistakes One of the technologies to make this real is our Intelligent Driver-Assistive Technology These technologies give the driver confidence for novice drivers who tend to be preoccupied with looking straight ahead the AI-based system will alert the driver to cars and pedestrians approaching from the side For elderly drivers who are not confident in their responsiveness the system can offer various support including operational assistance Our next-generation driver-assistive technologies will enable all drivers to drive with peace of mind While developing technologies to eliminate worries and anxieties for each and every driver to boost their confidence Honda is also taking initiatives toward safety for everyone sharing the road We are currently developing the “Safe and Sound Network Technology” which connects people mobility products and infrastructure via telecommunications to avoid various risks Honda’s safety slogan is “Safety for Everyone.” Although this slogan represents Honda’s passion toward realizing safety for all people we do not say “Safety for All.” This is because Honda is not aiming to realize safety by applying uniform safety systems and technologies for everyone using the road We say “Safety for Everyone” because Honda strives to create a safe society where everyone can enjoy mobility with peace of mind and we will do this while respecting the will of each individual Honda aims to realize zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles globally by 2050 Honda is the world’s largest manufacturer of mobility products and therefore we will strive to bring peace of mind to everyone on the planet Japan is one of the most advanced countries regarding traffic safety One of the reasons why the world’s first production car with a Level 3 automated driving system was realized in Japan is because the necessary laws and regulations were promptly enacted and CMBS is already mandatory for new automobiles sold in Japan three years ahead of Europe which plans to mandate it in July 2024 With the addition of advanced technologies it may be easy to visualize a safer society where people can enjoy mobility with peace of mind the biggest challenge is to address motorcycle collisions in developing nations over 20 million motorcycles are sold in India with an additional 15 million in Southeast Asia According to an analysis of collision classification in Thailand approximately 75 percent of all traffic fatalities in Thailand involve motorcycles One of the reasons for such a high rate of motorcycle collisions is the lack of rider education it is not the custom to learn motorcycle riding skills at driving/riding schools like we do in Japan the majority of motorcycle riders have no experience in taking rider skill training Another factor is that motorcycles are inexpensive and durable Due to the long product life of motorcycles it takes a long time to go through the cycle of replacing old products with new products and start seeing the effect of applying advanced technologies there is a device that is being adopted at an explosive pace Honda is taking advantage of the quick advancement of telecommunication technologies to enable people to ride motorcycles with peace of mind If we can connect everyone sharing the road with our “Safe and Sound Network Technology,” motorcycle riders and pedestrians can be better protected Through these technologies and initiatives but aim to realize a society where everyone can enjoy the freedom of mobility Honda will go beyond the improvement of automobile and motorcycle performance and use any technologies including network technologies to make progress toward the realization of a society that provides enhanced peace of mind to everyone sharing the road Once zero traffic collision fatalities is achieved and everyone will enjoy the “freedom of being liberated from the risk of traffic collisions” where people can go anywhere That is the future society Honda envisions We had many discussions about what “freedom” means in our society Freedom does not mean doing whatever we want which may lead to endangering people around us our definition of “freedom” is closer to “autonomy.” We can go places through our own power so we control our mobility as our own responsibility It is close to the floating feeling we experienced when we were able to ride a bicycle for the first time we expand our world further and further from home Honda wants people everywhere in the world to experience that feeling but we are moving forward one step at a time envisioning the path to realize our goal of zero traffic collision fatalities *The information in this article is true and accurate at the time of publication Shigeru Ishiba speaks at a press conference today following his election as party leader Japan’s incoming new prime minister is a 67-year-old former banker who has served as defence minister and has headed up the agriculture department Having narrowly defeated his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) colleague Sanae Takaishi in a vote of “law makers” (MPs) in the Japanese Diet today he will formally take over from Fumio Kishida at the beginning of October Excitement here in Tokyo has been restrained, given how often Japan changes leaders without any significant consequences. However, there are reasons to believe that Ishiba, if he can assert himself in the notoriously Machiavellian world of Japanese politics and that his elevation could have consequences for the region and the wider world Neither of these ideas are feasible in the near term but they do reveal a man who understands that in a region of increasing threats and global instability Japan needs to become more capable of mounting its own defence As for the UK, there may be areas for fruitful cooperation. A slightly more self-reliant Japan would surely be open to developing its relationship with a post-Brexit Britain and even reviving the spirit of the successful alliance between the two countries from 1902-22 Whether the more pro-EU Keir Starmer-led government is quite so keen is another matter Yet Japan and the UK today face many of the same challenges One area of mutual concern is the revitalisation of the countryside He represents the struggling Japanese coastal prefecture of Tottori which has struggled with depopulation and economic decline in recent decades with the highest percentage of migrants being in the 20-24 age group Ishiba has vowed to make reviving the regions a priority with concrete proposals incentivising businesses and entrepreneurs to come to the seemingly moribund ghost towns and cities which proliferate in Japan’s interior and though the Tories’ “levelling up” label has been rebadged as “securonomics” the basic policy goal of minimising disparities remains the same If Ishiba can make any progress at all in this extremely difficult policy area it would make sense for the UK government to pay close attention The same can be said for Ishiba’s plans for the economy, given that Japan, like the UK, has colossal public debt He has also vowed to do more to relieve the financial burden of low-income families by boosting wages and removing consumption tax on certain items Through all of this, Ishiba — interestingly — does not appear to be especially ideological. He has maintained a consistent anti-corruption line throughout his career but has frequently changed his mind on policy such as his turn from championing renewables to backing nuclear Whether that was due to admirable flexibility and intellectual honesty or a lack of firm principles and indecisiveness could well determine the fate of Ishiba’s premiership Please click here to view our media pack for more information on advertising and partnership opportunities with UnHerd.

Throughout her career Mochizuki says she loved dancing to other choreographers’ work but it didn’t always feel like she was being true to her identity when she did "It didn't feel like it was my artistry so much as I was their medium "Almost like I had to leave a piece of myself behind in order to be a dancer.” Elizabeth Mochizuki leads a class of high school aged students at the Tony Williams Dance School she kept thinking about founding her own company “I was nervous to start a company right away teaching transitioned to virtual classes and that was when Mochizuki do I want to be a teacher the rest of my life?” she remembered thinking at the time Nina Yoshida and Delilah Danh Huynh in Asian American Ballet Project's "Sleeping Beauty," staged by Elizabeth Mochizuki (Courtesy Nicole Marie Photography)Mochizuki set out to create the space she had been missing in her professional career: a space for and about Asian Americans She said she wanted the company to serve as a source of empowerment for dancers like her “There was a lot of anti-Asian violence going on,” said Mochizuki “And I thought maybe this is what we need… Maybe I can be a part of the solution by creating a space that humanizes Asian Americans.” But going from idea to action was challenging Someone told her to start posting online and create a social media presence for her new venture Then came networking and finding the funding to bring her dreams to reality Mochizuki participated in a mentorship program with the Network for Arts Administrators of Color with ArtsBoston. It was there she met Jessica Roseman, a choreographer in the city. Roseman says what Mochizuki is doing with the Asian American Ballet Project is difficult but impressive work. “It's three jobs, really, because it's the vision and then there's the financial side and the marketing side and then she’s choreographing on top of all of this,” said Roseman. “And then also resourcing where in the town this was all going to happen, negotiating contracts and hiring stage managers and lighting design. It's a multifold position.” From left: Nina Yoshida, Mollie Petrizzo and Amane Takaishi in Asian American Ballet Project's "Unspoken Words," with choreography by Hyung Ji Yu. (Courtesy Nicole Marie Photography)The company currently employs six dancers, and together they’ve done two annual showcases, each featuring four short ballets. The work has proven affirming for dancers like Amane Takaishi, who played one of the three sisters in the “Lon Po Po” ballet and has known Mochizuki for a decade. “Rather than being like ‘Oh, I'm the other one out. I want to hide in this community’ … I feel very empowered to put that side of me out there,” said Takaishi. “And to have a company based on that theme is even more empowering because then we're all together… I feel like our voices are heard.” It's a feeling Mochizuki hopes to pass on to her son, Stefen, who is 8. She sometimes brings him to the studio to see her at work.

(Jesse Costa/WBUR)“It's something good for him to see that, first of all, a woman can be in charge of a company and also an Asian American, person of color, can be in charge,” Mochizuki said. “I think all that is really great for him.” The Asian American Ballet Project wrapped up its second annual showcase in June. Now, Mochizuki is working toward next year. The project doesn’t have its own physical location yet, but for the moment, Mochizuki’s focus is finding money to fund the performances she wants to put on and thinking about ways to move her company forward. “I think we can do more,” she said. “And I think the more we're out there in the world creating new things, the more we'll draw the audience.” Amanda Beland Senior ProducerAmanda Beland is a senior producer for WBUR Kids movies so often bear little of the actual lived-in experience of growing up, but Yamada Naoko’s luminous anime “The Colors Within” gently reverberates with the doubts and yearnings of young life Totsuko (voiced by Suzukawa Sayu) is a student at an all-girls Catholic boarding school she explains how she experiences colors differently like an aura she senses from another person has the tendency to blurt things out before she quite intends to She accidentally tells a nun that her color is beautiful she’s transfixed by the purple and yellow blur of a volleyball hurtling toward her — so much so that she’s happily dazed when it smacks her in the head “The Colors Within” wears its heart on its sleeve a slinky brushstroke shapes the contours of a hillside horizon That evocative sensibility connects with the movie’s spiritual underpinnings Totsuko prays “to have the serenity to accept the things she can’t change.” In “The Colors Within,” a trio of young loners bond over what makes them uniquely themselves The ball that knocks down Totsuko is thrown by a classmate named Kimi (Akari Takaishi) who not long after that gym class drops out of school — hounded (Boys are off-limits for the boarding school.) Totsuko and eventually does at a local used bookstore When a bespectacled boy named Rui (Kido Taisei) approaches and says he plays the theremin Totsuko blurts out that they should start a band They aren’t much more than strangers to each other but they do — a group urged together by Totsuko’s earnest positivity and her instinct that they are suited to one another Despite their relatively scant experience (none in the case of Totsuko) They practice in an old church near Rui’s home that Kimi and Totsuko take a ferry to get to loves music but has parents who expect a different professional path But much goes unspoken in “The Colors Within.” If there’s a character who voices what isn’t articulated it’s the kindly Sister Hiyoshiko (Yui Aragaki) it’s clear that her sense of guidance and atonement goes beyond school policy “We can chart a new course any time we wish,” she says But much of what matters in “The Colors Within” isn’t said aloud regardless of any missteps or

new friends Mahiro Fukagawa is an indecisive person who finds it difficult to talk to others How did you go about creating the character of Chisato Takaishi: When the first movie was in production I always carried around a replica gun — even off-set — just to get used to it I practiced reloading a gun at home every day I thought that that was the first step in getting closer to Chisato as you’re a stunt performer who specializes in action scenes Izawa: I regularly head to work with a gun and knives in my bag a professional killer and a stunt performer are very similar I was easily able to slip into the role of a killer I already have many guns and knives at home Yomiuri: I heard that you have great chemistry because you two get along off-set She met me at the station but was jumping

in his 70s died five years ago City officials could find no heir to the property a neighbor reported to prefectural police that a corpse was inside the house The skeletal remains of an elderly woman were found lying on a bed and a police autopsy determined she had died of starvation She was the common-law wife of the deceased homeowner was found emaciated and taken into protective custody were never entered into the family registry in Japan for unknown reasons Perhaps because they did not technically “exist,” they never sought help from their neighbors or local government offices bought the two-story wooden house that was built more than 50 years ago in a residential area of the city center The woman and her son used to hold part-time jobs but they were apparently out of work in recent years They relied on the man’s inheritance for their living needs after he died in 2016 According to city officials and other sources the son said that they fell short of living expenses and survived on only water and salt after they had “somen” noodles in late August He said he was watching over his weakening mother but was hesitant to call an ambulance contact the city office or seek other help because they had no family registration Those around them found nothing unusual about the elderly widow and her middle-aged son She was often seen cleaning up around the house and had a good relationship with the neighbors offering them rice cakes and sweet sake during the New Year holidays She continued to pay the monthly dues for the neighborhood association until August and no one seemed to notice the poverty of the household the son said his mother was born in the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture and was orphaned during World War II The family of three originally lived in an apartment complex in another part of Takaishi The son didn’t attend elementary and junior high schools and instead studied under the tutelage of his mother and he was a kind child who never spoke ill of others,” said a 50-year-old company employee who had frequently played with the son when they were small “I never knew they were unregistered,” said the former neighbor who was once invited for a meal at the family’s house The head of the neighborhood association who lives nearby also expressed regret for what happened “I wish they had come to us for help much sooner,” he said “They might have had feelings of guilt for being unregistered.” the son is currently receiving medical treatment and is preparing to create an individual “koseki,” or family registration The Takaishi city government accepted the death notification of the father who had a family registration and a registered residence according to officials at the citizens’ affairs division The officials said they are not required to check if other people live in a house or look into other details when they receive a notification of death Although various other sections of the city government had some involvement with the mother and the son A city public relations official explained that the law prohibits personal information obtained by an administrative organ from being used by another division beyond the original purpose “No city officials had come into contact with the two,” the official said “It was difficult for us to learn about them because there are many people who hide the fact that they are unregistered.” The central government estimates that about 900 people in Japan do not have a family registration birth notifications for 70 percent of them were not submitted to authorities because the parents wanted to avoid application of a much-criticized provision of the Civil Law It states that a child born to a woman within 300 days of her divorce is considered the child of her former husband A Tokyo-based civic group that supports families with unregistered children estimates there are about 10,000 such people in the country Some of them were not registered because they were born in the turmoil during and after World War II points out the danger of unregistered people growing old and falling through the safety net of welfare and other public support “I hope the central and local governments strongly recognize that the case involving the mother and the son is just the tip of the iceberg,” Ide said Many people who are unregistered believe that they are “illegal and wrong,” so they are hesitant to ask neighbors or administrative offices for help they still can receive various support and administrative services including livelihood assistance,” Ide continued “I encourage them to seek help from support groups and municipal governments.” Unidentified man starts new life decades after losing memory Civil Law faces revision to lower unregistered births LDP rolls

Kenichi Suemitsu is scripting and directing the play, and Shunsuke Wada is composing the music Gotouge launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2016. Viz Media is publishing the manga in English digitally and in print The 26th episode ended on September 28 with an announcement of a sequel anime film that will cover the manga's Demon Train Arc Source: Shonen Jump issue 47, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba stage play's website and Twitter account Metrics details To evaluate our recent treatment strategy for intramedullary spinal cord tumors We reviewed 68 cases of intramedullary tumors (ependymoma There were 42 males and 26 females whose mean age at the time of surgery was 43 years The tumor malignancy grade according to the WHO classification was astrocytoma grade I Three of the 12 hemangioblastomas were associated with von Hippel–Lindau disease Total excision was achieved in 90% of the ependymomas and functional improvement was obtained when the preoperative neurological deficit was mild Approximately 50% of low-grade astrocytomas could be totally excised with favorable survival outcomes suggesting that total excision should be attempted for low-grade astrocytomas total excision of high-grade tumors was difficult and the functional outcomes were poor Cordotomy should be considered in patients with a thoracic high-grade astrocytoma Total resection was possible in 92% of hemangioblastoma more attention should be paid for tumors with feeding arteries on the ventral side and for those associated with von Hippel–Lindau disease Predictors of good surgical outcome for intramedullary spinal cord tumors were histological grades of the tumors and neurological status of the patient before surgery the three most common intramedullary tumors of the spinal cord that were treated surgically at our hospital during the recent 10 years to elucidate the problems associated with surgery and to validate our treatment strategy for intramedullary spinal cord tumors The prognosis of ependymomas thus appears to be favorable with 32 (97%) of the 33 patients still surviving One patient had underlying pulmonary fibrosis and developed pneumonia and died of respiratory failure 3 months postoperatively Functional outcomes of the patients with ependymoma Changes in the severity of paralysis by the modified Frankel grade before surgery and at the final examination Total resection was achieved in six of the 11 cases of low-grade astrocytomas. Total resection could not be performed in one case because of frequent decreases in intraoperative spinal evoked potentials, and biopsy alone was performed in other four cases, because the boundary between the tumor and the spinal cord was indistinct (Table 2) subtotal and partial resections were performed in one case each Spinal cord transection was supplemented in a two-stage manner in two patients with a thoracic astrocytoma who initially had partial resection or biopsy of the tumor (a) Cumulative survival curve of the patients with astrocytoma. (b) Impact of the tumor pathological grade on the survival of the patients with astrocytomas: there was a significant difference in survival between patients with the low-grade and high-grade astrocytomas (Breslow–Gehan–Wilcoxon's test, P=0.001). Impact of the surgical procedure on the survival of the patients with astrocytoma: (a) low malignancy group, (b) high malignancy group. Impact of the level of astrocytomas on survival: there was no significant difference in the survivals between patients with cervical cord and thoracic cord astrocytomas Functional outcomes in the patients with astrocytoma: change in the severity of paralysis by the modified Frankel grade before surgery and at the final examination Total resection was possible in 11 of the 12 cases (Table 2) because there were multiple feeder vessels in the ventral aspect of the tumor it was difficult to control intraoperative bleeding which resulted in partial resection despite two operations Functional outcome of hemangioblastomas (a) Change in the severity of paralysis by the modified Frankel grade before surgery and at the final examination (b) Changes in clinical symptoms before surgery and at the final examination Early-onset complications developed in eight patients (12%) Five patients developed major early-onset complications Two patients had a cerebrospinal fluid leak which were treated successfully by lumbar drainage Two patients developed aspiration pneumonia requiring intravenous antibiotics and in one patient with a high cervical tumor postoperative extubation was unsuccessful requiring a tracheostomy Urinary tract infection developed in three patients as minor early-onset complications and were treated with oral antibiotics Adherent arachnoiditis developed in one patient (1.5%) with hemangioblastoma as a late-onset complication and was treated surgically concluded that early diagnosis and early surgery are important to obtain good functional outcomes in cases of ependymomas Early surgery may be particularly important in cases with the tumors arising in the thoracic cord The functional outcomes were also much better than those in the patients with ependymomas or astrocytomas but because of the high possibility of persistent paresthesia and pain after surgery it is most important to obtain preoperative informed consent when a hemangioblastoma is associated with von Hippel–Lindau disease it is important to exercise care to prevent the development of adhesive arachnoiditis due to repeated surgeries to prevent aggravation of paralysis predictors of good surgical outcome for intramedullary spinal cord tumors were histological grades of the tumors surgical margins and neurological status of the patient before surgery In cases of intramedullary spinal cord tumors are important to obtain good functional outcomes Surgery for intramedullary spinal cord tumors should aim at complete removal of ependymomas low-grade astrocytomas and hemangioblastomas Because radical surgery is extremely difficult for high-grade astrocytoma saving the patient's life by spinal cord transection would be a reasonable choice for high-grade thoracic cord astrocytomas

into Ghost Killer to deliver a zany and action-packed outing genre fans are nevertheless bound to have a blast here with a script penned by franchise creator Yugo Sakamoto the plot follows college student Fumika (Takaishi) become haunted by the ghost of recently murdered hitman Hideo (Masanori Mimoto) when she finds the bullet that killed him When it’s discovered that he’s able to possess her body effectively turning her into an unstoppable fighting machine they decide to form a pact to enact vengeance on Hideo’s killer so that his spirit can leave Fumika alone Before the unlikely duo get to the vengeance part of the plot viewers will have to sit through a lot of extraneous material as the pair learn to work together while taking care of some other problems which can only be solved by beating up some bad guys While the onscreen violence doesn’t reach the same levels of insanity and gore as Machine Girl the action is fast and fluid and each blow lands with a satisfying squelch or crunch is Takaishi’s scene-stealing dual performance Playing both the non-violent student and a possessed Fumika the star effortlessly switches between both roles during brawls to deliver what are this flick’s best gags Although there’s plenty of joy to be found within Ghost Killer’s creative action and offbeat humour its blend of comedy and thriller doesn’t always work as intended In addition to slapstick that often doesn’t stick the landing Hideo’s quest for revenge likewise follows a generic route that lacks surprises A rushed final act that sees an ultimately inconsequential antagonist meet a disappointingly quick end also dulls the excitement and leaves this movie feeling underwhelming at points Its combination of genres doesn’t always hit the mark is a whole lot of guilt-free fun that’s filled with excellent action and a superb performance from Takaishi Ghost Killer does not have a release date yet Read more reviews from our Glasgow Film Festival coverage here For further

the coaching team’s focus on a quick passing game which was evident throughout this emphatic victory Cyclone Alfred off the coast added to the wind strength at Girraween but the slick passing and movement of the Noosa team literally blew Baringa away in a dominant first half performance The home side going into the break 5-1 in front though disappointed that they had conceded to Baringa’s solitary attack led by example with his energy and commitment to every tackle whilst Ollie Blackmore pulled the strings in central midfield as Baringa struggled to cope with the pace and movement of

21st minute and scored a second header in the 67th minute ‘T’s second goal was a clinical finish at the near post following a flowing move across the pitch with Nick Cookman’s long range strike being the pick of the goals as he timed his connection to another Blackmore corner to perfection “The boys have been training well and today was a solid performance for our first league game,” Michael Williams said who was also delighted that despite making five substitutions the team never lost their shape or intensity and scored three goals in the last twenty minutes The Under 23’s were pegged
