Last episode we briefly talked about what happened when Ōama passed away, including the apparent conspiracy around the Royal Prince Ōtsu, and then the question as to why his son, Crown Prince Kusakabe, didn't then succeed him to the throne. This episode we are taking a look at that period, but more focused on the rituals and what went into a royal funeral, and then take a look all the way to the eventual ascension to the throne of not Crown Prince Kusakabe, but instead his mother, Ōama's queen, Uno no Sarara. She would eventually be known as Jitō Tennō.

The court ritualists had seen to every detail of what should be done and even said, to the extent that the crown prince's actions almost felt like a performance of grief, rather than a heartfelt tribute.  And yet, Kusakabe could not help but feel some emotion at the sight of his father, once the most powerful man under heaven, now laid out in this place of temporary interment.  There would be many more ceremonies and rituals before the final mausoleum would be built and the former sovereign's body finally laid to rest.  Until then, even though Ohoama's spirit had left, his body would remain as a symbol to the people, and as the centerpiece of an elaborate ritual, designed, in part, to continue to bolster the state he had helped to create.   Last episode we went into some of the shenanigans around the death of Ohoama and the succession to the throne.  As we saw, not everyone was apparently on board with the idea that Crown Prince Kusakabe would take the throne, leading to the arrest and execution of Prince Ohotsu.  However, we noted that Crown Prince Kusakabe didn't end up on the throne after all: for whatever reason, he never ascended to the honor, and died in 689 – not even three years after the death of his father.  And so we saw Uno no Sarara, Ohoama's wife and queen and mother of Crown Prince Kusakabe, formally take the reins of state and go on to reign as the sovereign, the Sumera Mikoto, or Tennou, until 697.  From there she would become the first ever Retired Sovereign, keeping her hand in government until her death in 703. This episode we are going to look a little more in depth regarding everything that went on around Ohoama's death and the various rites accompanying his passing. Ohoama's was obviously not the first royal death that we have seen in the Chronicles.  It is perhaps, however, one of the best documented in terms of the funerary arrangements and the various rituals that accompanied his passing.  Some of those arrangements are mentioned previously in the Chronicles, but not to the same extent as we see for Ohoama.  This leaves me wondering: are we seeing something novel—new rites for a new type of sovereign, perhaps?  Or was this just the first time the ritual had been documented to this level of detail?. Before jumping into what we see this time around, we should probably look back at what we have seen around the death of previous sovereigns, and which are still going on here.  First and foremost is the creation—or at least the designation—of a "Palace of Temporary Interment".    This is the Mogari no Miya, with "mogari" being the term for the period between an individual's death and their eventual burial.  In the Nihon Shoki we see this practice go back to the earliest times.  After all, most deaths do not occur on a set schedule, and once someone has passed away, funerary arrangements would need to be made.  Now, if all you are doing is putting a body into a box and lowering it into the ground, you can probably bring it all together rather quickly. However, for centuries the burial practices on the archipelago had been significantly more elaborate.  Even those without royal blood might be afforded a special mound, or kofun.  There would be giant stones selected to create the chamber, and then tons of earth and pebbles placed on top.  There might also be haniwa—clay cylinders—which then might even be topped with special figures.  All of this had to be planned out and taken care of, and in some cases, such as the creation of haniwa, it appears as there was a major industry involved in funerary preparations. In the case of royal family members things got even more elaborate, and based on the size of many of the kofun that we see one can assume that their construction took time.  In fact, I would not be surprised if the construction of a new tomb mound might not have kicked off on or near the ascension of the sovereign just to make sure it would be ready, but even still it would take time for all of the rites associated with a royal burial to be ready to go. And so it was common practice that one would have to wait before a burial could actually take place.  Since you couldn't just leave a body out in the open in the community, the corpse would be deposited, instead, in a temporary building.  These are sometimes referred to as mogari huts,  which would likely be placed well away from others.  Here we should also take into account the general pollution associated with death in its various forms.  So you would want to have the body kept out of sight and away from people as best you could while you prepared for the actual burial at some later date.  For sovereigns, this mogari hut, or hut of temporary interment, was eventually referred to as a "miya", or "palace".  In some cases it seems as if one of the buildings of the sovereign's old palace was used for this purpose, while a new palace was then also built for the new reign. In addition to the place of temporary interment, one of the common traditions we see in funerals in the Chronicles is the role of the eulogy.  While a person lay in state during their temporary interment, we are told that people could come to eulogize and lament.  In the case of a sovereign, the high ministers and politically connected would come together and deliver speeches.  This served multiple purposes.  On the one hand, these rituals reinforced concepts of the State and the central authority in the body of the sovereign.  On the other hand, they also served as markers of status for those delivering the speeches, and provided opportunities to be seen and heard, signaling their support of the system that provided them their own power and authority. So all of this  process and ritual that we see for Ohoama is familiar, from previous royal deaths.  However, it's interesting to note that in the most recent years before Ohoama's funeral, a lot of these traditions seem to have been scaled back.  For one thing, there was the decline of large, keyhole shaped kofun, ever since the introduction of Buddhism in the 6th century and the move to memorial temples over large tombs. Furthermore, as part of the Taika era reforms we see regulations on how long temporary interment may last for those of princely rank and below—though nothing is clearly stated for the sovereign themselves.    Let's look at the most recent royal death's before Ohoama's, but since the beginning of the Taika era.  There are at least three we've talked about.  First off is the death of Karu, aka Koutoku Tennou.  Karu's death is barely remarked upon—he was buried about two months after he passed away, and very little fanfare is given.  One can't help but wonder if this was, in part at least, due to the fact that Naka no Oe was actually in charge and running things at the Crown Prince. Takara hime, aka Saimei Tennou, would pass away in the middle of the Baekje war against the Silla-Tang alliance.  Her body was sent back to Yamato, but the Crown Prince and many of the elites established themselves in Tsukushi—modern Kyushu—to better conduct the war on the peninsula.  Not only was her interment thus delayed, but Naka no Oe's own ascension wouldn't take place for several more years, possibly because of the new capital he was building in Ohotsu.  Naka no Oe's own funerary arrangements were interrupted by the events of the Jinshin no Ran.  In fact, the building of his tumulus was used by the government as a cover to bring in soldiers to prepare for the conflict.  There may have been various funerary rituals planned or even carried out by the Afumi court, but if so they were overshadowed by the civil war that broke out between the two claimants to the throne. As such, Ohoama's appears to be the first royal funeral of this magnitude in a while, and in this case they really pulled out all the stops.  There were various activities and rituals associated with Ohoama's passing up through the 11th month of 688, over two years later, when he was finally buried.  So let's go over what happened and maybe what dragged it out so much longer. First off were the immediate lamentations and eulogies.  Ohoama passed away on the 9th day of the 9th month, according to the Nihon Shoki.  It was the year 686 according to the western calendar.  Two months later the erection of the temporary palace of interment began in the southern courtyard—presumably the area south of the Asuka Kiyomihara palace, where they had previously held the various archery competitions. This took a couple of weeks, and Ohoama's body was finally placed in the temporary palace as of the 24th of that month. While ritual lamentations were raised at the start of the building of the mogari palace and when the sovereign's body was interred, the major rites appear to have started three days after he was laid to rest, on the 27th day,  proceeding for the next three days, from the 27th until the 30th. The rites started with Buddhist monks and nuns who arrived before sunrise and began to perform lamentations in the courtyard of the mogari.  Later that day, we see food offerings, apparently for the first time in the Chronicles. Offering food to the dead is not unique to Japan.  Some in Japan will offer food to their ancestors, especially during the Obon festival.  People will also offer food to kami.  In the case of Obon, a bowl of rice is often served with two chopsticks sticking straight out of it.  This has actually led to a social taboo on leaving your chopsticks "stuck" in food, as it looks as though you are offering the food up to the dead.  Instead, chopsticks will be placed on a chopstick rest, on the table, or even across the top of a dish, just not sticking up out of the food, especially the rice. In this case it isn't clear exactly how the food offering was done, nor what happened to the food afterwards.  In the case of food offered to the kami, it is often the case that once the kami have had enough time to partake of the aura of the food—its spiritual essence—the food will then be removed and often consumed by people.  So for Ohoama's funerary offerings, something similar may have happened—possibly with a feast of some kind to which the various nobles were also invited. Along with the offering of food, we are told of a whole list of individuals who gave eulogies—though we aren't told what the content was.  It is likely that these eulogies were largely ritual utterances—stock phrasing by the participant to demonstrate their active performance of the rituals, rather than a deeply thought sermon about the sovereign.  After all, this seems to have gone on at a rather constant pace for the next several days.  The ritual order seems to have stayed the same, with priests and nuns kicking things off with lamentations in the courtyard, and various nobles presenting their eulogy.  The third day, the 29th, was the same. On the fourth day, the 30th, the last day of the month, the priests and nuns raised lament, and the eulogies were given by a Baekje prince in exile, on behalf of his father, as well as the various Miyatsuko of the various provinces.  In addition there were all performances of all manner of singing and dancing—which makes it sound more like a wake than anything else. With the close of the 9th month, we have a break in the tale of Ohoama's funeral, as the narrative switches over to the next part of the Chronicles covering the reign of Uno no Sarara, aka Jitou Tennou.  The first order of business—other than telling us who Uno no Sarara was and covering some of her history—was to deal with the Prince Ohotsu conspiracy.  So we see Prince Ohotsu arrested, along with 30 conspirators.  Prince Ohotsu was killed at his residence, where his wife and consort ran to him and took her own life as well.  That all happened the 2nd and 3rd days of the 10th month.  The 30 co-conspirators were apparently held for about twenty-seven days while the court debated what to do with them.  Finally, the decree was made to pardon all except Toki no MIchidzukuri, who was only banished instead of executed, and the monk Heng-sin, who was exiled to a temple in Hida, over on Kyushu.  The month after that, Ohotsu's sister, Royal Princess Ohoku, returned to the capital from Ise Shrine where she had been serving as the Shrine Princess—though we aren't told who replaced her. And so it isn't until the twelfth month that we see what appears to be the rites for Ohoama's passing seem to resume.  This takes the form of a universal great assembly held in Ohoama's name at the Five temples, listed as Daikandaiji, Asukadera, Kawaradera, Toyoradera in Woharida, and Sakadadera.  This is an interesting list, as one would have expected that the rites would have occurred at the National Temples established previously—for more on the National temples, we talked about that back in Episode 142.. Daikandaiji, Asukadera, and Kawaradera were, of course, national temples.  Yakushiji is not mentioned, probably because it was still under construction.  At this date it's only been dedicated, and we won't see it show up in the Chronicles until 688—a year and change from the current gathering.  Toyoradera was the nunnery of Toyoura temple, and Sakada temple appears to be another nunnery, formerly known as Kongoji.  It is said to have been in MInabuchi, and ruins of a temple are found in the southeast of Asuka, in an area known today as, funnily enough, Sakada.  There is also a modern temple known as Kongoji nearby, though I can't tell if there is any connection between the two other than the name— whether its a true successor temple or just given that name because of the proximity of the ruins. Either way, in this phase of the funerary rites, we have a combination of temples and nunneries involved.  I wonder if that was so that men and women could gather in spaces for them.  Either way, it is clear that these rites  were held specifically to build merit for Ohoama.  This was probably also the intent behind the actions of the court a week later, when presents of cloth and silk were made to orphans, as well as childless, widowed, and elderly men and women of the capital—those who didn't have someone else to look after them or who were assumed to not have a stable income. Come the first day of the new year of 687, we see a return to the palace of temporary interment, and this time it is in a new and different fashion.  We are told that the Crown Prince, accompanied by ministers and public functionaries, proceeded to the Palace of Temporary Interments and made lament.  We are told that it was the Nagon, Fuwe no Ason no Miaruji, who performed the eulogy, after which everyone once again raised a lament.  Then the common people raised a lament.  Then Ki no Ason and others of the High Stewards of the Palace made food offerings.  After this, the Uneme of the Steward's department raised a lament and then music was performed by the officials of the Department of Music. This clearly indicates an involved ceremony, with set roles and functions.  It is being headed by Ohoama's son, Crown Prince Kusakabe, and attended by all the high ministers, and it is being held on the first of the year in place of other festivities for that day.  Other than the timing, the basic pattern of events is similar to the other rituals of lamentation.  .  The contents of the ceremony might be different, and it was always someone new who was chosen to give the formal eulogy, but there does seem to be some ritual and pattern to the rites performed.  For major ceremonies, we are told of the Crown Prince, the ministers, and the various public functionaries who are there, in attendance, but in other instances we are just told of who is providing the lamentations or the eulogy.  For example, on the 5th day of the first month—four months after the big ceremony, we are told that everyone—Crown Prince down to the common people—proceeded to the Palace of temporary interment and made lamentations. Either way, the period for the next year and change is filled with various ceremonies either at the palace of temporary interment, where Ohoama's body lay in state, or elsewhere in the capital, such as at various temples.  There were also various gifts from the court.  All of this was as much political spectacle as it was grieving.  There are some suggestions that, according to Confucian tradition, a son was expected to mourn the loss of his father for up to three years.  So perhaps that is part of what was happening—the royal family was participating in some costly signaling to both raise Ohoama—and thus, themselves—up on a pedestal and to try to demonstrate the virtue of Crown Prince Kusakabe.  After all, the Queen and her son had been effectively running the government before Ohoama had passed, so it wasn't like there was any actual change and only minor risk.  The timeframe also allowed the court time to send messengers out to inform the far reaches of the archipelago of Ohoama's passing and give them time to come and do homage.  They even sent messengers to Silla, no doubt to both let them know about what had happened and possibly to solicit a condolence embassy.  All of that would also play into the pageantry and mythmaking of the moment, further strengthening the position of the Yamato court, which was, of course, under the control of Uno no Sarara and her son. And so we see numerous, and quite public, displays.  Besides the lamentations and the eulogies, we see repeated gifts to the underprivileged, like giving gifts of coarse and floss silk to those residents of the Capital who were at least 80 years old, as well as to invalids with little hope as well as to the poor people who had no other means to support themselves.  All of it being done in Ohoama's name, even though the reputation no doubt was actually accruing to his son and widow. In the third month we see a special mention: an ornamental chaplet of flowers, known as a mikage, was offered at the Palace of Temporary Interment.  Today, flowers are often found in abundance at Japanese funerals.  Certain flowers may be "gifted" to the deceased as a last gift from mourners, and large, elaborate flower constructions are often used to decorate the funeral parlor where the corpse is laid out.  Groups and individuals may pay exorbitant sums to place flowers with a name card indicating who donated it, and some flowers may be for the grieving family to take home.  There are meanings behind the type of flowers, and often white flowers are preferred, as white is often seen as the color of death.  Some of this appears to be influenced by the West, but flowers have long been symbols and used in various ceremonies and rites.  It is possible that some of this was influenced by Buddhist and Tang court rituals.  Or maybe they just wanted something that was sweet smelling to help cover up the inevitable odor that no doubt resulted from leaving a body out for about six months at that point. Whatever the purpose, we aren't given too many details on just what this floral display was.  Aston calls the "mikage" a "chaplet" and Bentley simply describes it as decorative flowers placed at the mogari palace—the palace of temporary interment.  Once the flowers were placed, then Taji no Mabito no Maro performed the ceremony of the eulogy. Next, in the 5th month, we see the Crown Prince and various government officials once again involved.  This time they were accompanied by the chiefs of the Hayato and the Ata of Ohosumi, accompanied by their people, advancing and providing a eulogy.  The Hayato and the Ata were both indigenous groups of people from southern Kyushu, who were considered to be outside of the Yamato polity, with distinct cultural differences.  It is unclear if they were ethnically Wa people.  Evidence from that area suggests that the people there, whatever their ethnicity, had adopted many of the Yayoi and Kofun cultural life-ways.  This was not without some differences, such as distinct burial practices, such as underground burial chambers.  Hayato were also known in Yamato for their shields, which are often depicted as long, thin pentagonal shapes with red, white, and black figural paintings. The propaganda-slash-merit making continued over the next few months.  In the 6th month we see an amnesty, where criminals were pardoned, and in the 7th month the court unilaterally cancelled out any interest on debts contracted in the year 685 or earlier.  In cases where the debtors already owed service to their creditors, for some reason, they made it so that the creditors could not demand that they provide additional service.  People still had to pay back the balance, but they didn't have to pay back anything extra. The next ceremony at the palace of temporary interment wasn't for about three months later, in the 8th month of 687.  We are told that offerings of food were made, and that only awokimono—green things—were offered.  Bentley translates this passage to say that it was the feast of first fruits, the Niinamesai, and they do use the character for "namé", but not the full name.  As for "Awokimono" – Aston translates this as plain, boiled rice, and says it is meant that it was without meat of any kind.  Indeed, the characters appear to be for blue or green cooked rice.  There is another reading for "Awokimono" as "Hijikioono", and Aston suggests that there may have been some hijiki, or seaweed, involved.  Regardless this appears to have been specifically a funerary tradition. A day after the food was offered—and we aren't told who did that—the elderly people of the capital, both men and women—some possibly with new duds thanks to the silk they had received earlier—came and made lamentation west of the bridge.  I suspect that this means they didn't enter the actual courtyard where the palace of temporary interment was set up, but simply gathered on the west side of the Asuka River, which flowed past the west side of the courtyard.  Later that month, we see another Buddhist ceremony.  Fujiwara no Ason no Ohoshima and Kibumi no Muraji no Ohotomo invited 300 Buddhist dignitaries, known as Ryuuzou and Daitoku, to Asukadera.  There they gave each one of them the present of a kesa—a Buddhist sash worn as part of their vestments.   Kesa were typically stitched together from cloth donated by Buddhist laypersons, and we are told that these kesa were made from the garments of the late sovereign.  The language of the decree itself was apparently so painful—Aston translates it as pathetic—that it couldn't be fully set forth.  That sounds to me like someone forgot to write it down. Eleven days after the assembly at Asukadera, a national Buddhist feast was sponsored at all of the Temples in the capital.  The day after that, a feast was sponsored at the mogari palace. Later that same month, Silla ambassadors arrived at the archipelago.  The Dazai, the viceroy of Tsukushi, met with them and informed them of what had happened.  It is likely that they had left before any word had reached the peninsula, so this was the first they heard of it.  Nonetheless, they all put on mourning clothes, turned to face the East, and bowed three times and raised lamentations.  This was all being done in Kyushu, but nonetheless it was clearly important to the people who were recording these interactions. A similar note in the record appears on the 23rd day of the first month of the following year, where we are told that Ohoama's death was announced to the Silla ambassador, Gim Sangnim, and his colleagues.  They, in turn, made their lament three times.  It is possible that these are records of the same event, and I even wonder if one was recorded on the date they arrived and the other was recorded on the date that they were formally told what was happening.  Either that, or the events of the 9th month of 687 were an informal notice, so that they could get ready, after which they traveled the three months and change to Asuka, where they then were given the formal notification. Moving on to finish out the year 687: on the 22nd day of the 10th month, the Crown Prince and government officials, along with all of the governors and Kuni no MIyatsuko—and not forgetting the common people—all began work on the sovereign's tomb.  This is one of the few tombs that we have some confidence in, though it isn't a keyhole shaped kofun like many others from previous eras.  Today it looks mostly like a round hill, but originally it seems to have been an eight-sided tomb with five distinct levels.  Eight sides suggests a Buddhist influence, as eight is an auspicious number, such as in the 8-fold path.  I can't help but wonder if the five levels were connected to concepts of five in Confucian and Daoist teachings.  For instance, there was the idea of five Confucian virtues as well as the Wuxing, or Gogyou, where we have five specific elements.  Given the importance and influence of continental thinking at the time, neither one would surprise me. The tomb would take almost a year to complete, which almost doesn't seem like enough time given everything that they did.  It is possible that they had already prepped much of what they needed and that the 10th month of 687 was simply the date they broke ground, but either way it was an impressive feat. Meanwhile, as the construction was ongoing, the public displays of mourning continued.  Once again, new year's day celebrations of 688 were postponed in favor of public mourning, with the Crown Prince and all of the ministers making their lamentations on the first day of the year, followed by a company of priests the following day. On the 8th day of the first month of the year we are told that there was a public great congregation of priests held at Yakushiji.  This is the first official event held at Yakushiji, and so presumably the temple was now finished—or at least finished enough.  Since Ohoama isn't mentioned, it is certainly possible that this wasn't directly connected to the ceremonies around the official mourning of Ohoama.  On the other hand, Yakushiji was commissioned by Ohoama for the health of his wife, Uno no Sarara, so I have a hard time thinking that there weren't any connections at all. In the second month of 688, we get a decree that has a few different interpretations.  The decree states that, "in the future, on all days of national mourning, it is absolutely necessary that abstinence be practiced."  Bentley translates this to mean that there would be a feast on the day of national mourning every year after.  The key contention appears to be whether or not the day of mourning was a monthly or annual thing.  The court appears to have been creating a national holiday around the memory of Ohoama, and it may have chosen the second month for that day of mourning and remembrance.  Alternatively, this was for a day of mourning each month of the current year.  The wording is vague.  It is like the question of whether or not "Bi-weekly" means twice a week or once every two weeks, and I don't know that there is any consensus.  Still, it is interesting that they created their own holiday to remember Ohoama, and as far as I can tell this is the first such example of a holiday being used to remember a person in this way. Once again on the 22nd day of the third month, flowers were again presented at the palace of temporary interment.  This was only two days different from when the mikage had been set up in the previous year, so it would seem that the timing was significant—possibly because it was spring and the flowers were blooming.  Fujiwara no Ason no Ohoshima, the same individual who had helped gather the various priests together at Asukadera to hand out kesa made of the sovereign's own garments, presented the eulogy. The ceremonies are then put on hold for a bit.  There is an account from the 11th day of the 6th month where prisoners guilty of capital crimes would have their punishment mitigated one degree while those in prison for lighter offenses would be pardoned altogether.  In addition, only half of the commuted taxes were to be levied.  This might have been more merit-working for Ohoama or it may have been because the nation itself was undergoing a drought and they were seeking the Buddha's favor to bring the rains. Once again in the 8th month we see offerings of food are made, and a lament raised inside the palace of temporary interment.  This time the eulogy was performed by Ohotomo no Sukune no Yasumaro.  The day after that, Prince Ise was given commands regarding how the upcoming funeral was to be handled, which was to happen three months later. The 11th month kicked off with the Crown prince and the ministers once more going to the palace of temporary interment, this time on the 4th day of the month.  They had with them guests from the "frontier lands" as Aston notes—Bentley says foreign countries.  Offerings of food were made, and the Tatefushi dance was performed.  This was a dance with shields and swords, according to later records.  It seems that the dancers also wore armor, or something to approximate armor.  All of the ministers then advanced, each in turn, and pronounced a eulogy, with each recounting the services that their ancestors had rendered to the throne. The following day, there was further ceremony as over 190 Emishi brought tribute in on their backs, and pronounced a eulogy for the departed sovereign. Six days later, on the 11th day of the 11th month, Fuse no Ason no Miaruji and Ohotomo no Sukune no Mimiyuki both pronounced eulogies, and then Tahema no Mabito no Chitoko recited, as a eulogy, the succession to the throne of the royal ancestors.  And when that was finished, Ohoama's body was finally placed in the Ohouchi tomb and the tomb was sealed. And with that, the sovereign was put to rest, after over two years of mourning and ceremony, specifically designed to put on display the court's apparent grief.  Whether they were actually grieved or not, the importance was the performance of grief through the rituals set forth by the state.  Individuals and groups demonstrated their loyalty through their participation.  Noble families used the platform to recount their service and thus demonstrate their own history and pedigree and thus why they were deserving of their status in the court. Furthermore, during all this ceremony around the funerary arrangements, to try to  also have an ascension ceremony for the new sovereign was probably a little too much to try and push through.  It would have also meant that they would been holding a ceremony that should be joyful and august under the pall of the mourning period.  For the Crown Prince to don the robes of office while his father's body lay in the courtyard was probably, as they say, a bad look.  And, as I mentioned earlier, it wasn't like it was making any real, practical difference.  The ship of state was hardly rudderless, with Kusakabe and his mother both guiding it through the various ceremonies. Sure enough, in the following year, 689, the new year ceremonies were no longer about mourning and lamentation.  The queen gave an audience to all the lands in the Front Hall, and the following day the Ministry of Education presented 80 wooden staves, presumably for an old form of the Setsubun festival.  Today, Setsubun, the day before Spring, is celebrated with soybeans, which are tossed at characters in oni masks, and then inside the house.  The cries ring out "Oni ga soto" – "Demons Out" and then again, "Fuku ga uchi" – "Good luck inside!"  Thus evil spirits are kept at bay and good fortune is welcomed into the home.  In the older version of a similar ritual, it seems that wooden staves were used to symbolically drive the demons out, rather than just a handful of auspicious beans. The first month of year 689 continued to look a lot like previous years, prior to Ohoama's death.  There was a banquet given to the Ministers, and gifts of clothing were handed out to them.  And then, halfway through the month, the various officials brought presents of firewood to the palace.  And then a meal was given to the various public functionaries. A few days after that, Queen Uno left to visit the Yoshino palace for a few days, returning two days later. There is something that is not mentioned in all of this that I suspect was happening.  First of all, they had no doubt torn down the palace of Temporary Interment, and they were likely preparing for Crown Prince Kusakabe's ascension.  There are some that suspect Prince Kusakabe was waiting until three years had passed before taking the throne, mimicking a tradition sometimes observed on the continent, but nothing is explicitly said. Instead, we see that on the 24th day of the 3rd month there was another amnesty across the realm,  and we are explicitly told that crimes that hadn't been pardoned in ordinary amnesties were also excepted in this amnesty.  Amnesties typically seem to be part of merit-making to either prevent disaster or to celebrate something auspicious.  Was this clearing the way for the ascension ceremony to take place?  Or had something befallen the royal family? We aren't given many details, but on the 13th day of the 4th month, we are simply told that Crown Prince Kusakabe died.  We aren't told that he had previously been ill, or that anything in particular had happened.  It is just a simple line in the text.  And yet, this must have had tremendously serious consequences.  I think we can fairly safely assume that he was prepared to ascend the throne—unless he was thinking of pulling something like Naka no Oe and running things from behind the scenes.  However, there is plenty of evidence that Uno no Sarara was more likely to be the one to step back and be the power in the shadow.  She had operated from that position before. Whatever the plan was, clearly that plan was no more.  Crown Prince Kusakabe was dead, and his only heir was still a young child.  He also had no brothers to take the throne.  The Chronicles don't mention it, but this must have been a moment of incredible weakness for the court and the Queen.  History as we know it could have turned out very differently from this point. Also, sidebar—Prince Kusakabe's death is recorded on the 13th day of the 4th month.  While 13 would not necessarily be an inauspicious day until the Western superstition was introduced in recent times, the number 4 has long been associated with death because the pronunciation, "Shi" is the same as—or at least very similar to—the pronunciation of the character for death.  This is also the case in Chinese, and so the number four is often avoided and seen as unlucky.  Sometimes hotels will skip both the 4th and 13th floors in Asia to avoid any inauspicious vibes.  In Japanese, the numbers 4—"Shi" and seven—"Shichi"—will often be pronounced with their kun'yomi readings, so "yon" and "nana" respectively.  So I just find it rather an unfortunate coincidence that Crown Prince Kusakabe died on the 13th day of the 4th month.  Yikes. Anyway, if there was any wavering or grief by Uno no Sarara, it isn't mentioned in the Chronicles.  They continue to march on.  Later that same month, Prince Kasuga passed away.  Prince Kasuga was a non-royal prince, and the death of Prince Kasuga and the Crown Prince were met with an equal lack of fanfare or explanation.  Compare to the death of Prince Ohotsu, who was given an entire eulogy about how he was really well liked. Instead, the Chronicle simply moves on.  The rest of the year passes by as though nothing had happened.  The government continued with Uno no Sarara at its head.  In the first day of the first month of the following year, Uno no Sarara formally ascended to the royal dignity in a ceremony where Mononobe no Maro set up the shields, Nakatomi no Ohoshima recited a prayer for the blessings of Heaven, and Imbe no Shikofuchi delivered the divine seal, sword, and mirror to her majesty.  At that point all of the ministers and government officials made their obeisance in turn, clapping their hands as  they did so. One has to wonder if this ceremony wasn't a little bittersweet, given everything that had happened. A few things about the ceremony to note.  First are the three families mentioned:  Despite the fact that the Mononobe house had been defeated by the Soga centuries back, here they stand in their traditional role as soldiers, raising up the shield.  Then we see Nakatomi no Ohoshima—earlier mentioned as Fujiwara no Ohoshima—as the director of the Ministry of Kami matters, handling the ceremony.  And then there is the Imbe, in some ways the rival to the Nakatomi and their descendants, the Fujiwara, who is handling the regalia. Also of note is that the three regalia here are not the jewel, sword, and mirror, but the seal, sword, and mirror.  We mentioned this many episodes back when we had seen these same three used for the ascension ceremony, and noted then that a royal seal appears to be used, rather than mention of a jewel.  The character used, on the continent, referred to the imperial seal of the dynasty, which itself would have been carved into jade, or a jewel.  And in Japan the character is also said to refer to the "Yasakani-magatama", the sacred jewel.  So was it the jewel, and they just called it the seal?  Or is that a later attribution to try and maintain the concept that the three regalia remained the same?  I couldn't honestly say, but either way we see the concept of these three regalia as central to the ceremony. And with that, Uno no Sarara, known to us as Jitou Tennou, ascended the throne.  She would continue the process of making updates to the court and to the laws and regulations.  She would also see the creation of the Fujiwara palace and accompanying city—designed as the first permanent capital city in all of Japan.  She would also take a hard line with Silla and make her mark on the world stage, as well.  But we'll talk about that in future episodes.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Winter's Silent Confession: Love Amidst Arashiyama's Embrace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ja/episode/2026-01-27-08-38-20-ja Story Transcript:Ja: 冬の冷たい空気が、嵐山の竹林を優しく包んでいた。En: The cold winter air gently enveloped the Arashiyama bamboo grove.Ja: 竹がサワサワと揺れる音が、空気をより一層静かに感じさせる。En: The sound of the bamboo swaying softly made the air feel even quieter.Ja: そして、今日は節分の特別な日。En: Today was a special day of Setsubun.Ja: 観光客も地元の人たちも、豆まきの準備で賑わっていた。En: Both tourists and locals were bustling with preparations for the bean-throwing event.Ja: ハルト、中年の会計士は、静かに歩いていた。En: Haruto, a middle-aged accountant, was walking quietly.Ja: 彼の隣には、幼なじみのアイコと地元ガイドのミツオがいた。En: Next to him were his childhood friend, Aiko, and the local guide, Mitsuo.Ja: ハルトの心の中には、長い間抱えてきた秘密があった。En: In Haruto's heart, there was a secret he had been holding for a long time.Ja: アイコに告白したい、けれどいつも躊躇していた。En: He wanted to confess to Aiko, but he always hesitated.Ja: 「ハルト、どう？この竹林、昔とは少し変わったね」と、アイコが笑顔で言った。En: "Haruto, what do you think? This bamboo grove has changed a bit from the past, hasn't it?" Aiko said with a smile.Ja: 彼女の笑顔は、昔からハルトの心を和ませる力を持っていた。En: Her smile had always had the power to soothe Haruto's heart since they were young.Ja: 「うん、たしかに...」とハルトは答えた。En: "Yeah, it certainly has..."

Aiko said, teary-eyed.Ja: 病院のベッドで目を覚ましたハルトは、心の中で新たな決意をした。En: Waking up in the hospital bed, Haruto made a new resolution in his heart.Ja: 怖がることをやめ、いつか必ず、アイコに自分の気持ちを伝えようと。En: He would stop being afraid and someday, he would surely tell Aiko how he felt.Ja: その時が来るまで、彼は自分の弱さを受け入れ、心を強くすることを学ぶのだ。En: Until that time came, he would learn to accept his weaknesses and strengthen his heart.Ja: 節分の思い出がやがて彼の心に明るい灯火をともすだろう。En: The memories of Setsubun would eventually light a bright flame in his heart.

Aizvadītajās nedēļās pasaules valstu pārstāvji tikās Kolumbijas pilsētā Kali sarunās par biodaudzveidības jautājumiem un ekoloģisko krīzi, kas piemeklē planētu šobrīd. Sākot ar drošticamiem datiem par ekoloģisko stāvokli, beidzot ar rīcības plānu - diskutējamā bijis daudz. Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā pievēršamies dabai un klimatam, un tam, kā mums sokas ar plāniem apturēt sugu izzušanu uz zemes. Nav jaunums, ka šajā gadsimtā piedzīvojam masveidīgu dabas daudzveidības samazināšanos. Lai šajā jautājumā steidzami kaut ko mainītu, reizi divos gados tiekas pētnieki un dažādu valstu pārstāvji. Šogad šī sanāksme norisinājās Kolumbijā, kas starp citu ir viena no dabas daudzveidības ziņā bagātajām valstīm pasaulē. Kas lemts šajā samitā, skaidro Pasaules Dabas fonda direktors Jānis Rozītis un bioloģijas zinātņu doktore, pētniece, Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta Hidrobioloģijas laboratorijas vadītāja Astra Labuce. Jauna rubrika raidījumā Bet raidījuma ievadā jauna rubrika, kurā turpmāk skanēs katru pirmdienu. Tajā aplūkojam, kas interesants zinātnes pasaulē noticis brīvdienās. Aizvadītajā nedēļas nogalē aktuālākais bija rudens vētra un vējš. Tāpēc stāsts par vēju, vējainākajām pilsētām, bet ekspertam, kukaiņu pētniekam Voldemāram Spuņģim vaicājam, kā lapu pūteji, ko izmanto arvien plašāk, ietekmē tos, kas dzīvo uz augsnes. Nobela Miera prēmija piešķirta atombombardēšanu pārdzīvojušo japāņu organizācijai Aizvadītajās nedēļās raidījumā esam stāstījuši par 2024. gada Nobela prēmijas laureātiem dažādās nozarēs. Pasniegta arī Nobela Miera prēmija, un tā atgādina par cīņu pret 20. gadsimtā radītu postošu spēku - kodolieročiem. Ko šādi ieroči spēj īstermiņā un ilgtermiņā izdarīt ar vides un cilvēka veselību? Hirosima un Nagasaki, Bikini atols, Čornobiļa, Fukušima, pēdējā laikā arī Zaporižja Ukrainā - visas šīs vietas pasaulē saistītas ar traģēdijām vai riskiem, kas iespējami, izmantojot noteiktu ķīmisko elementu specifisko dabu. Bet kurš tad to izmanto? Protams, cilvēks. Tieši tāpēc Otrā pasaules kara laikā zinātnes atklājumi noveda pie kodolieročiem, lai viena valsts varētu nolikt pie vietas citu. Savukārt cilvēku paviršība ļāvusi notikt atomelektrostaciju avārijām, un politiskās ambīcijas no šādiem riskiem mūs nepasargā arī mūsdienās. Par kodolieroču tapšanu un to graujošo ietekmi daudzi būs guvuši priekšstatu no vairākas “Oskara” balvas saņēmušās filmas “Openheimers”, kas stāsta par “atombumbas tēvu”, pirmo kodolieroču radītāju, amerikāņu fiziķi Robertu Openheimeru. 1945. gada 6. un 9. augustā kodolieroči “Mazais zēns” un “Resnais vīrs” tika uzspridzināti virs Japānas pilsētām Hirosimas un Nagasaki. Bet šogad Nobela Miera prēmija piešķirta atombombardēšanu pārdzīvojušo japāņu organizācijai "Nihon Hidankyo", kas pazīstama arī ar nosaukumu "hibakusha". Prēmija piešķirta par organizācijas centieniem panākt no kodolieročiem brīvu pasauli. Vai tas ir iespējams un kādu ietekmi uz cilvēka un vides veselību atstāj kodolieroči, par to saruna ar Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes Ķīmiskās fizikas institūta vadošo pētnieci Guntu Ķizāni.

He is also an Executive Fellow at the Harvard Business School where he co-teaches the course “Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer.”  Mr. Higgins' deep operating experience spans multiple industries over his 25-year career, which he draws upon to help founders navigate complex situations in order to reach their full potential. Mr. Higgins began his career in public service as a journalist before becoming the youngest mayoral press secretary in New York City at 26, where he managed the global media response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He became one of the first employees – and ultimately Chief Operating Officer – of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the federally funded government agency created to plan the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site. Mr. Higgins helped organize the largest international design competition in history culminating in Reflecting Absence, the September 11th National Memorial, and the development of the 1,776-feet-tall One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the northern hemisphere. After transitioning to the private sector, Mr. Higgins spent 15 years in senior leadership positions with National Football League teams. He made his mark with two NFL franchises, overseeing the revenue functions of the New York Jets as Executive Vice President of Business Operations, and after leaving the Jets, serving as Vice Chairman of the Miami Dolphins from 2012 – 2021. Higgins co-founded New York City-based RSE Ventures in 2012, amassing a multi-billion-dollar investment portfolio of leading brands across sports and entertainment, media and marketing, consumer and technology industries – including several of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. RSE's backings include Resy, an Open Table competitor that American Express acquired in 2019; the world's premier drone racing circuit, the Drone Racing League; the International Champions Cup, the largest privately owned soccer tournament featuring Europe's top clubs; and Derris, a brand strategy and communications firm that has helped grow many leading brands such as Warby Parker and Glossier. Higgins is also co-owner of VaynerMedia, the largest social-media first agency in the world founded by Gary Vaynerchuk. In 2016, he broadened RSE's investment focus to rapidly expanding fine dining and fast casual concepts, including NYC's iconic Magnolia Bakery, David Chang's Momofuku and Fuku, Milk Bar, &pizza and Bluestone Lane. Mr. Higgins has also been a guest shark on Emmy award-winning TV show “Shark Tank” during seasons 10-11, and Harper Collins' William Morrow imprint will release his book “Burn the Boats!” in 2023. In 2019, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, joining the ranks of seven former U.S. presidents, Nobel Prize winners and other leaders for work to improve society. He is also a longstanding board member of Autism Speaks. Mr. Higgins received his Bachelor of Arts in political science and honorary doctorate from Queens College and his J.D. from Fordham Law, where he was a member of the Fordham Law Review.

Vyspělé státy stárnou. Lidí, kteří vydělávají, ubývá a penzistů je stále víc. Senioři v bohatých zemích se bojí dlouhověkosti a přestávají utrácet, přestože mají enormní úspory. Tím táhnou ekonomiku dolů.Japonská ekonomika přežila zemětřesení, tajfuny i jadernou havárii ve Fukušimě. Zdaleka nejvíc jí však dává zabrat stárnoucí společnost. Růst se totiž už řadu let nekoná.Vysoký podíl „boomerů“ zatápí i americké ekonomice. Generaci „baby boomers“, tedy kohortu narozenou v letech 1946 až 1964, nazval týdeník The Economist před časem nejšťastnější generací na světě. Nezažila války, těžila z ohromného ekonomického růstu a nízkých úrokových sazeb.Tihle šedesátníci až osmdesátníci vlastní v Americe v součtu 76 miliard dolarů, přes polovinu čistého jmění celé společnosti, přitom sami tvoří „jen“ pětinu populace. Své úspory starší Američané neváhali až do roku 2015 utrácet, všímá si The Economist. V poslední dekádě však ochota spotřebovávat prudce klesá.Proč senioři škudlí?Podle ekonomky Jany Matesové jsou za „škudlením“ tím tři důvody.Hlavně prodlužující se střední délka života. „Ta generace se zvětšuje a žije delší dobu. Co jsme si uspořili, nemůžeme roztočit na zábavu. Za druhé si západní společnosti uvědomují, že se naše děti, a začíná se to týkat i České republiky, už o nás nebudou starat. Že budou muset spoléhat na pečovatele, které si budou muset platit anebo doplácet. Nově vytvořená střední třída boomerů začala mít navíc pocit, že by něco měla dětem odkázat,“ říká v podcastu Ve vatě.Čeští penzisté ani nedostali příležitost zbohatnout. „Jsme v úplně jiné situaci. U nás to boomerská generace ‚odnesla‘. Narodila se těsně před nástupem komunistického vedení země. Do doby naprosté ekonomické degradace, kdy Československo kleslo z první do páté desítky zemí podle ekonomické vyspělosti. Ti, co něco zdědili, tak o to přišli při znárodňování. Všichni ostatní dostávali přibližně stejně,“ popisuje československou realitu Jana Matesová.„Nejstarším“ národem v EU jsou Italové, následovaní Řeky, ale i Česko už pociťuje, jak chutná stárnutí. Momentálně v tuzemsku připadá na sto lidí ve věkové skupině mezi 20 a 64 lety celkem 35 seniorů. Ale v polovině století bude muset stovka ekonomicky aktivních živit už 54 starších.Vraťte poplatek u lékaře„Bude čím dál méně lidí na práci, ale ruce a krky, které budou potřebovat peníze z daní na spoustu účelů, budou čím dál nataženější a hladovější,“ míní Jana Matesová. Výdaje na penze a zdravotnictví se zvětší a vlády se budou víc a víc zadlužovat, avizuje ekonomka.„Přijde větší tlak na inflaci a relativně vysoké úrokové sazby. Úrokové sazby na úvěrech nebudou příliš klesat, na to úplně zapomeňme,“ varuje a dodává, že HDP porostou pomaleji.Penzijní systém vláda po letech debat mění. Na větší nároky ve zdravotnictví se ale podle Matesové Česko zatím nepřipravuje. Přitom spoluúčast na financování péče bude nevyhnutelná, míní ekonomka.„Je třeba nějaká forma spoluúčasti, přinejmenším tím poplatkem za návštěvu lékaře, který byl v době, kdy byl zaveden, v ceně tří lahvových desítek piva. Je dramaticky potřeba změnit celé vnímání veřejných služeb.“Nepříznivý výhled pro veřejné rozpočty může zvrátit pokrok, věří někdejší zástupkyně Česka při světové bance Jana Matesová. „Může to zvrátit jenom opravdu dramatický technologický rozvoj, který hodně zvýší produktivitu práce. Může to vylepšit migrace, ale může to i zhoršit, pokud by šlo o migranty, kteří se navěsí na sociální systém,“ míní.Jak se na život ve stárnoucí společnosti přichystat? Myslí banky na zvětšující se starší klientelu?*****Ve vatě. Podcast novinářky Markéty Bidrmanové. Poslechněte si konkrétní rady investorů a odborníků na téma investic, inflace, úvěrů a hypoték.

Episode title: Business Chrollo We will be back in two weeks to talk about... honestly kind of undecided. We'll probably watch Rokk í Reykjavík but we don't want to do a proper episode on it, so expect a more loosey goosey episode where we just do a Non-Homophobia Zone about punk music and maybe a shōnen battle quiz for Niamh or something. I mean, maybe we also manage to squeeze in Inland Empire and it's the proper focus of the episode, but Niamh's kid is sick and Autumn is busy both weekends so don't count on it. You can follow Niamh on twitter @FoxmomNia and listen to faer other podcasts, Ghost Divers, Pondering Pootan, and Around the Long Fire by going to exportaud.io/ghostdivers, exportaud.io/pootan, and abnormalmapping.com/longfire. You can follow Autumn on twitter by going to @Autumnal_Coffee and listen to all of their podcasts by going to exportaud.io.

Sahāras smiltis pavasarī Latvijā nav retums, tāpat arī sniegs no Aļaskas vai pat vulkānu pelni savulaik ir viesojušies pie mums. Kā nokrišņi, putekļi, putekšņi un smiltis pārvietojas atmosfērā un ceļo no tālām vietām? Kas to veicina un kā tas ietekmē laikapstākļus un gaisa kvalitāti Latvijā? Aprīļa sākumā, Lieldienu laikā, iedzīvotājus Eiropā sasniedza trauksmaina ziņa par Sahāras tuksneša putekļu radītu piesārņojumu. Sahāras tuksneša smilšu daļiņas sasniedza arī Latviju, un cilvēki tika aicināti Rīgā samazināt aktivitātes ārā ļoti sliktās gaisa kvalitātes dēļ. Arī sociālajos medijos cilvēki izteica savas bažas, tostarp par automašīnām, kas vēl vakar notīrītas, bet jau šodien noklātas ar Sahāras smiltīm. Cik bieži Sahāras tuksneša putekļi līdz mums nonāk, kāpēc, kādi vēl var būt pārrobežu piesārņojuma veidi un kā tie ietekmē mūsu veselību? Skaidro Latvijas Vides, ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centra Monitoringa daļas vadītāja Iveta Indriksone. Vispirms stāsts par radioaktīvo vielu pārvietošanos Kodolkatastrofas gadījumā radioaktīvās vielas ar vēju un mākoņiem tiek ienestas atmosfērā, un tad atkarībā no vēja virziena šis bīstamais sakopojums nokrišņu veidā nonāk virszemē. Vairāk par to, kā radioaktīvās vielas pārvietojas atmosfērā, kur un cik lielā daudzumā pasaulē tiek aiznestas Čornobiļas un Fukušimas avāriju radioaktīvās sekas, stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Ķīmiskās fizikas institūta pētnieki Gunta Ķizāne un Ingars Reinholds. Atsaucoties uz raidījuma otras daļas tematu par Sahāras putekļiem, Latvijas Universitātes Ķīmijas fakultātes docents, Ķīmiskās fizikas institūta vadošais eksperts Ingars Reinholds teic, ka saistībā par radioaktīvo piesārņojumu nav jāuztraucas, jo ikviens var aplūkot 20 tiešsaistes kameras, kas uzrāda  radiācijas līmeni visā Latvijā un Sahāras atnestajos putekļos bīstama radioaktīvo vielu klātbūtne nebija manāma. Pirms noskaidrojam to, kā radioaktīvās vielas pārvietojas atmosfērā, ir jāatgādina, ka radiācija  dabā pastāv visu laiku un arī mēs cilvēki to izstarojam. To skaidro LU Ķīmiskās fizikas institūta vadošā pētniece, ķīmijas zinātņu doktore Gunta Ķizāne.

V Číně Japonce varují, ať radši nemluví nahlas, tamější restaurace radši předstírají, že nejsou japonské, a na japonské školy létá kamení. V Jižní Koreji lidé pořádají protesty v ulicích i parlamentu. Proč vypouštění vody z Fukušimy probudilo silné protijaponské nálady? Filip Titlbach se ptá Magdaleny Slezákové za zahraniční redakce Deníku N.

Odmeva novica, da naj bi vodja ruske najemniške vosjke Wagner Jevgenij Prigožin umrl v sinočnjem strmoglavljenju letala pri Moskvi. Njegovi privrženci trdijo, da je bilo letalo sestreljeno, in s prstom kažejo na ruskega predsednika Vladimirja Putina, s katerim je Prigožin prišel navzkriž po spodletelem oboroženem uporu konec junija. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Vlada bo potrdila interventni zakon za pomoč prebivalcem in podjetjem po ujmah. - Japonska ob nasprotovanju sosednjih držav začela izpuščati v morje vodo iz nuklearke Fukušima - Tina Šutej ponovila lanski uspeh, na atletskem svetovnem prvenstvu četrta v skoku s palico

Kdo může z místní politické krize těžit? Jak bude probíhat vypouštění vody ze zničené jaderné elektrárny Fukušima? A nakonec se ohlédneme za letošním ročníkem Mezinárodního filmového festivalu v Karlových Varech.

EPISODE 1561: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Matt Higgins, the author of BURN THE BOATS, about how the publishing industry and writers will be impacted by the coming AI stormMatt Higgins is a noted serial entrepreneur and growth equity investor as Co-founder and CEO of private investment firm, RSE Ventures. He is also an Executive Fellow at the Harvard Business School where he co-teaches the course “Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer.” Mr. Higgins' deep operating experience spans multiple industries over his 25-year career, which he draws upon to help founders navigate complex situations in order to reach their full potential. Mr. Higgins began his career in public service as a journalist before becoming the youngest mayoral press secretary in New York City at 26, where he managed the global media response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He became one of the first employees – and ultimately Chief Operating Officer – of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the federally funded government agency created to plan the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site. Mr. Higgins helped organize the largest international design competition in history culminating in Reflecting Absence, the September 11th National Memorial, and the development of the 1,776-feet-tall One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the northern hemisphere. After transitioning to the private sector, Mr. Higgins spent 15 years in senior leadership positions with National Football League teams. He made his mark with two NFL franchises, overseeing the revenue functions of the New York Jets as Executive Vice President of Business Operations, and after leaving the Jets, serving as Vice Chairman of the Miami Dolphins from 2012 – 2021. Higgins co-founded New York City-based RSE Ventures in 2012, amassing a multi-billion-dollar investment portfolio of leading brands across sports and entertainment, media and marketing, consumer and technology industries – including several of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. RSE's backings include Resy, an Open Table competitor that American Express acquired in 2019; the world's premier drone racing circuit, the Drone Racing League; the International Champions Cup, the largest privately owned soccer tournament featuring Europe's top clubs; and Derris, a brand strategy and communications firm that has helped grow many leading brands such as Warby Parker and Glossier. Higgins is also co-owner of VaynerMedia, the largest social-media first agency in the world founded by Gary Vaynerchuk. In 2016, he broadened RSE's investment focus to rapidly expanding fine dining and fast casual concepts, including NYC's iconic Magnolia Bakery, David Chang's Momofuku and Fuku, Milk Bar, &pizza and Bluestone Lane. Mr. Higgins has also been a guest shark on Emmy award-winning TV show “Shark Tank” during seasons 10-11, and Harper Collins' William Morrow imprint will release his book “Burn the Boats!” in 2023. In 2019, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, joining the ranks of seven former U.S. presidents, Nobel Prize winners and other leaders for work to improve society. He is also a longstanding board member of Autism Speaks. Mr. Higgins received his Bachelor of Arts in political science and honorary doctorate from Queens College and his J.D. from Fordham Law, where he was a member of the Fordham Law Review.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

SBE Hospitality Group and virtual brand platform C3's founder and CEO Sam Nazarian has acquired Nextbite, just days after Nation's Restaurant News reported that Nextbite's order management arm, Ordermark, had been sold off to Indian software company UrbanPiper. Nextbite and its virtual brands —which includes both original and licensed brands such as Packed Bowls by Wiz Khalifa, Shawarmama, Nestle Toll House Cookies, IHOP, Super Mega Dilla, Thrilled Cheese, Fuku, George Lopez Tacos, and Nathan's Famous — will live on under the ownership of its former competitor as Nextbite by SBE, but will operate separately from C3's own virtual brands, which include Umami Burger, Krispy Rice, and Sam's Crispy Chicken.Leadership will pass from CEO Alex Canter — who founded Nextbite in 2020 after merging the then-flourishing virtual restaurant company with technology platform Ordermark — to Nazarian, and operations will be relocated to C3's headquarters in Miami. According to Food on Demand, a “suite” of former Nextbite executives will stay on board with the company under new ownership.

Navrhovali mu desať rokov väzenia, dostal dvojročnú podmienku. Bývalého politika Jána Slotu uznali vinného zo zločinu zasahovania do nezávislosti súdu. Slota mal podľa obžaloby zobrať úplatok 15-tisíc eur a vybavovať u žilinského sudcu nižší trest pre vodiča, ktorý spôsobil nehodu s jednou obeťou. Pre Jána Slotu je to po šoférovaní v opitosti a sexuálnom obťažovaní maloletých dievčat ďalśia podmienka v poradí, no za veľké kauzy ako je nástenkový tender či predaj s emisiami nikdy stíhaný nebol. Prečo a je to zlyhanie systému? Jana Maťková sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta Braňa Dobšinského z portálu aktuality.sk. Zdroje zvukov: TA3, TV Markíza, RTVS Odporúčanie: Náš nový filmový podcast Vertigo ma upozornil na jednu zaujímavú seriálovú novinku - The Days o jadrovej katastrofe v japonskej Fukušime. A je vskutku zaujímavé sledovať ako Japonci pristupujú ku krízovým situáciám a ako koordinovane pracujú aj v najväčšom možnom vypätí. The Days nájdete na Netflixe.

O jaderné energetice jsme si nemohli pozvat nikoho jiného než dlouholetou šéfku Státního úřadu pro jadernou bezpečnost Danu Drábovou.CELÝ DÍL NADJETE POUZE NA PATREONU A GAZETISTU. Cena elektřiny na burze opět roste, podíl na tom mají zavřené bloky jaderných elektráren ve Francii, z celkového počtu 56 je jich mimo provoz 21. Francie tak vyrábí o 17 gigawatthodin méně než obvykle. (17 gwh je přibližně stejně jako instalovaný výkon všech českých elektráren.) To rozhodně stojí za pozornost. Do detailu jsme rozebrali Temelín i Dukovany. Kolik let provozu zbývá? A jaké překážky je čekají? Jak velký problém bude nahradit ruské palivové tyče? A zajímala nás i budoucnost. Ať už ta nejbližší, tedy jak to bude s odstavováním JE v Německu, tak ta vzdálenější. V jakém stavu jsou malé modulární reaktory, kdy můžeme očekávat fúzní reaktory a kam se hýbe nukleární vývoj. Došlo i katastrofy – Černobyl a Fukušima.Partnerem podcastu je advokátní kancelář ROWAN LEGAL a společnost young_block.Sledujte nás: 

Nabeel Alamgir was born in Bangladesh and moved to Kuwait seven years later, then to Queens, New York, seven years after that. He began his career as the first busboy at the Bareburger flagship store in Astoria and spent his free time devising marketing objectives for the CEO. In 2019, Nabeel founded Lunchbox, the modern ordering system for restaurants to grow their online revenue, which was built out of the frustration of trying to build his own digital ordering system at Bareburger. Lunchbox has empowered over 2500 restaurant locations across the country, including Bareburger, Clean Juice, Fuku, Little Sesame, Papa Gino's, Sticky's Finger Joint, and Tacombi. To date, Lunchbox has saved restaurants over $43 million that would have otherwise gone to third-party ordering platforms. In this episode… As a brand owner, teamwork and cooperation are crucial to generating an impact on your audience. So, how can you promote high-performance levels for authentic brand equity? Nabeel Alamgir creates a productive and enriching team culture by offering his employees coaching sessions and initiating a space for high performers to thrive. He encourages collaboration among each team member to devise innovative and original ideas that foster growth and positivity. To initiate additional partnerships, Nabeel urges brand owners to support other businesses in their launch phases and help them convey their messages to their audiences.  In this episode of the Brand Alchemist Podcast, Taja Dockendorf chats with Nabeel Alamgir, CEO and Co-founder of Lunchbox, about building brand relationships and strong company culture. Nabeel shares his approach to inspiring growth and connection among his restaurateurs, advice for launching a brand and discovering your passion, and his secret for recruiting talented employees.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Real Realestate: LinkedIn and Twitter have been laced with debates around the future of office space since the pandemic began. Predicting the market cycle for commercial real estate exceeds the current ambition on this podcast however we do have a sound data point regarding startups and early stage companies. Aly Merritt, the MD of the ATV and I chatted amongst the hustle and bustle of the Kula coffee line yesterday. As of this recording, there are over 1200 members and 300 companies. Since the pandemic, this is the first time a waitlist has re-formed at the ATV. Aly described the new work experience which I'm paraphrasing “companies are using the Village as a natural addition to their work experience. Folks may come in later or leave earlier, but there is way more foot traffic and people working on the weekends as well.” The fluidity of the ATV is always exhilarating. We have companies moving out and moving in every 30-60 days  but overall the office is definitely back…but it is back on the terms of the entrepreneurs and employees.   Company Coming Up: For this week's Company Coming Up, this Atlanta entrepreneur has an innovative approach to host kitchens. That's right, host kitchens not ghost kitchens. FranklinJunction is the name and Rishi Nigam is the CEO. What is a host kitchen and how does Franklin Junction leverage them? They match underutilized restaurants, called Host Kitchens, with restaurant brands looking for rapid expansion through delivery. Each restaurant benefits because it involves "capital-free revenue growth for both partners." Franklin Junction works with about 30 brands such as Nathan's Famous, Hooters, and David Chang's Fuku. These brands make their products through approximately 250 host kitchens currently in production. Now, Franklin Junction owns the revenue from each sale, and then pays everyone else a cut. They are still early but definitely a company coming up!  Blog Post of the Week: Transitioning to the Blog of the Week: Ergeon's Pitch Deck Teardown. This comes from TechCrunch and we admire it for several reasons. First, Ergeon is a fence building company, headquartered out of California but they just launched in Georgia – the market is massive. The previous founder of Upwork, Jenny He is on to her next act so you know it will be good. They just raised $53M after being at it for 4 stealthy years of serious first mover advantage.

They are actually pre-launch but this is a time in the company's journey that can be the most fun to connect with founders as you will get early access to services and even help shift the product. What is Storied Collection? There are over 10,000 castles across Scotland and the UK but they are really hard to find. Storied Collection is a collection of the finest castles, chateaux, and estates wrapped around a membership model. Micheal, their co-founder showed me the castle he is staying in for the British Open next month and it is sweet. Keep an eye for their launch or just send them an email today.     Event of the Week:  This week I attended ATLUnlocked at the Russell Center – which is so legit – Jay Bailey and team brought the energy and connectivity. Mayor Dickens kicked it off. There were entrepreneurs showing their products, food trucks, V-103, WAOK, good beer and delcious lemon ice – just all around greatness. Next week, StartupShowdown is next week. My colleague and Atlanta Ventures Partner, Kathryn O'Day is one of the judges. Link to the event in the show notes.  Raise Your Glass: Prokeep, out of New Orleans just raised $9M lead by IronSpring Ventures. Prokeep is simple messaging made for distributors between contractors.

Bizarné televízne šou, noci strávené pri herných automatoch, anime a kostýmy aj umelohmotné jedlo vo výkladoch. Okrem toho však aj sushi a polievka miso, technologické vychytávky, tradície, kimoná a krásne hory. To všetko je esencia Japonska. Hosť najnovšej epizódy cestovateľského Všesvet podcastu Laci Jamnický žije v Japonsku už tri roky, aktuálne aj so svojou japonskou manželkou v meste Kobe. Rozprávali sme sa však najmä o severných častiach krajiny – ostrove Hokkaido a najlepšej lyžovačke, kopcoch v prefektúre Akita aj o katastrofe vo Fukušime. Najmä sme sa však rozprávali o japonskej kultúre – o tom, ktoré jedlo vás môže zabiť, prečo môžu byť japonskí deduškovia posadnutí Hello Kitty, či Japonci naozaj veľa pracujú alebo len prokrastinujú a kde zažiť najlepší prašan.  Budeme tiež radi, ak nás v tvorbe podcastu podporíte na Patreone. Ak máte akékoľvek otázky, neváhajte nám napísať na vsesvetpodcast@gmail.com.
