This week for “Duke Energy Presents…Conversations About Living Young”, Marina’s guest is Eric Bell of the David A. Hall Mortuary in Pittsboro to discuss what’s involved in making yours or a family members final arrangements.

Show Notes This week, we recap, review, and analyze Mobile Suit Gundam episode 38/37 "Char and Sayla" (再会、シャアとセイラ), discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on the Gelgoog’s decidedly low-tech sword, the word “kanchou,” and gold in WWII. - The warrior monks who favored the naginata and nagamaki were closely affiliated with the mythical warrior demons called Tengu. For more about how the Tengu supposedly taught them the use of their weapons:Roald Knutsen, "Tengu: The Shamanic and Esoteric Origins of the Japanese Martial Arts"(Knutsen is a former soldier, and has a menkyo kaiden in iai-jutsu. We weren't able to get our hands on it, but Knutsen's 2004 book "Japanese Spears" is supposed to be the very best English source on the subject).- A very interesting Sword Forum discussion of the differences between nagamaki and naginata, plus different examples of nagamaki and lots of pictures.- A photo of a historical nagamaki.- For an authority who views the nagamaki as more of a short polearm rather than a long sword: Encyclopedia of Japanese Martial Arts, David A.

Fascinating look at American attitudes towards dictatorships and neutral countries, prior to the US joining the war:“Portugal: The War Has Made It Europe's Front Door.” Life, 29 July 1940, pp. 65–73.- Book about Portugal during WWII, with detailed chapters on the economy, Nazi gold and gold laundering, and espionage in Lisbon, among other things:Lochery, Neill. Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-45. Scribe Publications, 2011.- The section from Alan Ross' diary (used in the memorial) is printed in:"Leaves in the storm : a book of diaries / edited with a running commentary by Stefan Schimanski and Henry Treece."

This episode has never been included in an English-language release.- For an explanation of why the Japanese Ministry of Education used katogi rather than budo to describe martial arts in schools, check out this book: García, Raúl Sánchez.
