This month we read Forty Love by Jane Costello! We talk about why this midlife rom-com hit so close to home, from empty nesting and letting your kids go to rediscovering yourself and realizing it's never too late to start something new.

The Osage Nation’s Daposka Ahnkodapi language immersion school in Pawhuska, Oklahoma announced it is closing one week before the start of the new school year. Tribal leadership closed the school citing dire budgetary problems. Teachers and parents were left scrambling to find a place for the nearly 100 students. For some, Daposka Ahnkodapi was the only school they'd known. We'll speak with parents about their next steps. We'll also speak with Richard Zane Smith, a Wyandot artist and language teacher who has spent years working to revitalize his tribe's language. He has been actively working to bring back traditional songs preserved on wax cylinders dating to the 1910s. Now, he's seeing renewed interest among younger people in his community who want to learn and study the language. We'll discuss Wyandot language revitalization efforts, as well as his thoughts on President Donald Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario as “Lake America”.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 180 Did you know the explanation for the Communist side of the Red-Green Alliance, including "Queers for Palestine," can be found on the last page of the Communist Manifesto (pdf), written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels? The explanation is simple and brief, "In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things." Communists of all kinds are instructed to side with anyone fighting their common enemy, which is the status quo, or the present society. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the relevance of this sentence, and the one that follows, to our contemporary issues, including intersectionality, the Red-Green Alliance, and Palestinianism (or the "Palestinian Cause"). Join him for an eye-opening look at the Communist version of the friend-enemy distinction.

Connect Malta, Atlantis, and the island's megalithic temples through Plato, older writers, and archaeoastronomy. The conversation weighs the traditional archaeological dating against sky-based alignments and asks whether Malta preserves traces of a much older lost civilization. Bernie is back, going a little deeper in this part of the world. Bernie Taylor, Naturalist, Archaeoastronomer and Author of Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Heroand Biological Time. https://www.youtube.com/@beforeoriondotcom https://beforeorion.com/ We discuss Bernie's three-part framework for Atlantis, the evidence from Malta's temple sites, and why the alignments to Sirius and the solstices matter. Graham and Darren also press on the hypogeum, underwater connections, and how Malta fits into a wider Mediterranean megalithic tradition. Key topics Bernie Taylor lays out his case that Malta belongs inside the broader Atlantis tradition, even if Malta was not Atlantis itself. He argues Plato's Atlantis story draws on earlier writers like Herodotus and Sanchuniathon, not just Plato alone. The group discusses Plato's "9,000 years before Solon" as likely metaphorical rather than a literal date. Malta's megalithic temples are presented as especially important because they have no clear living cultural memory explaining who built them. The conversation contrasts archaeological dating of temple use with the possibility that older foundations or floors could predate the visible walls. Bernie highlights archaeostronomical work by Tor Lomsdalen and Leni Redig showing alignments tied to Sirius, equinoxes, and solstices. Darren and Graham push the idea that reused sites, buried structures, and later contamination could blur the true dates of Malta's temples. The hypogeum is raised as a major unanswered question, especially because it may indicate a larger underground complex. The episode repeatedly returns to the idea that Atlantis, Malta, Gobekli Tepe, and other ancient sites may belong to a shared long-range tradition rather than isolated local inventions. The practical travel angle comes through too, with Bernie recommending compasses and printed temple maps for the Malta trip. Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

After record-setting temperatures across the country, dangerous summer heat continues to spill into September. The number of heat-related deaths in the Phoenix area are on track to triple last year's numbers. Schools, businesses, and events are shutting down across the Midwest from Iowa to Michigan. Institutions are also forced to close down in Pennsylvania and other states along parts of the Eastern Seaboard. Tribal officials are busy reacting to the current threat while also preparing for the likelihood that adapting to such conditions is a permanent concern. We'll look at the affect on people and the environment as the heat moves in. GUESTS Caine Palone (Quechan), Tribal Employment Rights Office director and emergency manager for the Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe David Simeral, associate research climatologist for the Desert Research Institute and Western Regional Climate Center Dr. Paul Charlton, emergency medicine physician and emergency department director for the Gallup Indian Medical Center Break 1 Music: Bird Song (song) Joe Guachino, JR Holmes, & Wally Antone (artist) Bird Songs of the Colorado River (album) Break 2 Music: Mountain by the Sea (song) Various Artists (artist) Traditional Voices: Historic Recordings of Traditional Native American Music (album)
What if the bronze used to build Solomon's Temple came from the spoils of David's wars? In 1 Kings Chapter 7 (part 2), Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel discover a powerful picture of how Israel's battles, sacrifices, and suffering can be transformed into something holy. As the twelve oxen carry the Temple's “Sea” and David's gathered treasures finally become part of the House of God, we are challenged to ask: What will we build with what the previous generation handed us? In this chapter we learn: -Explore the massive bronze Sea in Solomon's Temple and the significance of the twelve oxen facing in every direction. -Discover how the bronze used for the Temple vessels, pillars, and basin came from David's wars and the spoils of battle. -Reflect on the spiritual choice between allowing pain to harden us or allowing Hashem to transform suffering into something holy. -Consider what the Temple's outward-facing posture teaches us about Israel, the nations, and our calling in the world. -Learn from David and Solomon about redemption across generations—-David gathered what Solomon would build with. -Ask the powerful question: What are we going to build with what was handed to us?
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. El Toro Sailing. My US Navy pediatric nurse off-duty days were spent sailing a tiny boat in the shipping channel off the Port of Norfolk. Believe it or not I sailed an 8x4 foot single-masted, centerboard El Toro that flew across the water. An old skipper powered a battered motor boat across the waves, curling around my boat with a great rooster tail spraying, and hurled a white styrofoam block wrapped with an old rope. It landed right in my lap. The block had been hollowed out to fit 2 cold cans of beer. That was a good day! Bad days. But when the days weren't so good, when I had more downs than ups, kids got worse, some died, moms needed comforting and support when dads were away at sea, self-doubts about working pediatrics crowded my thoughts, or a well-deserved leave was cancelled, I had to learn to “hold fast.” Hold Fast at Sea. For centuries sailing was a dangerous profession, and ships were often caught in storms or rough seas. “Hold fast!” commanded sailors to secure equipment, and ropes or lines to prevent accidents or maintain safety and stability on ships especially during turbulent weather conditions. Sailors would shout “hold fast!” to each other when they needed to grab onto something firmly so that they wouldn't get thrown off balance by the towering waves. Sailors learned quickly that “hold fast” means to maintain a firm grip on something despite external forces trying to pull it away. It could come down to saving a life or “man overboard” at a time when few boys and men knew how to swim. Hold Fast Today. Over time, “hold fast” came to mean strength, perseverance and determination in facing adversity when challenges threatened to unmoor your own stability. While the old nautical term and the present day variation have distinct meanings, they share a common thread: steadfastness. Whether you're holding onto a rope during rough seas or standing up for what you believe in, “hold fast” requires unwavering commitment and resilience. The Future Will Prevail. The unprecedented conditions we find ourselves in today demand a grounded personal presence of internal strength and determination, maintaining one's grip on values, kindness, empathy, and holding on to hope. The worn out, deteriorated, broken-down, and decaying patriarchy is railing against the future. The future will prevail. We must hold fast so that it arrives. Hold fast with all the resilience you can muster even when you feel you cannot hold fast a moment longer. That is the place the tide will turn. CTA: What if we hold fast and we get things right?

A soundscene of an island. Asleep. Between the tides. This passage of time is from a 2025 recording the Lento box made in Bigbury-on-Sea, tied to a palm tree facing onto the beach and out towards the island. It's the dead of night, 2am to 3am. The waves are breaking along the soft sandy beach. The tide has turned. Now it is rising. Weather conditions mild. Wind speeds very light, 1 to 2 knots. Human activity virtually nil for tens of miles, in all directions, including the entire dome of the night sky. * What makes this overnight sound photograph of the beach by Burgh Island so precious to us is the crystal clarity of the waves and their movement as they break on the flat sands, under a silent night sky. Being the dead of night and completely dark herring gulls and oyster catchers are still occasionally audible, but their calls are relatively sparse and there are long empty gaps. ** You can listen to other sections of this overnight recording in episode 265 and episode 295.

There's been wave after wave of bad news about the ocean: warming temperatures, overfishing, acidification, coral bleaching. But in the last few years, there have also been some big wins for the big blue—as well as a narrative shift, in which the ocean itself has almost become its own larger-than-life character in conservation conversations. So how should we think about the future of the seas? And how do the stories we tell about the ocean shape how we think about it? Flora chats with marine biologist Helen Scales, author of “What the Wild Sea Can Be,” which is the Science Friday book club pick for September and October. Check out the SciFri Book Club to read along. Read an excerpt from “What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World's Ocean.” Guest: Dr. Helen Scales is a marine biologist and author of several books, including “What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World's Ocean.” Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The eye-opening findings by researchers in Boston that 1 in 4 NFL players who died over a five-year span showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy is the latest in the growing understanding about the need to protect athletes at all levels. CTE is connected to repeated head injuries. The new study of hundreds of test subjects shines a light on the extent of the issue that is difficult to track. It's an additional warning for high school, college, and recreational sports operations about the need for heightened vigilance to keep athletes safe and healthy. We'll talk with Native athletes and sports medicine experts about how awareness around CTE is changing.

Dr. Judy welcomes Dr. Ruth Roberts to the show, examining the health tradeoffs of routine spay and neuter, especially early sterilization, and argue that preserving endocrine function may reduce chronic disease risk in dogs. They link the rise in chronic disease after roughly 2000 to multiple factors, with sterilization presented as one important contributor alongside food quality, vaccines, and environmental toxins. The study results or overwhelming! So, what is Spay-Neuter Syndrome? Early spay/neuter can be linked to obesity, cruciate rupture, hip and elbow degeneration, allergies, IVDD, arthritis, Cushing's disease, thyroid dysfunction, pancreatitis, diabetes, and some cancers including hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and prostate cancer.

This episode we continue with the reign of Uno no Sarara, aka Jito Tenno, and look at records of the various foreigners and immigrants who came to the archipelago. This includes immigrants from the Korean peninsula as well as those foreigners with whom Yamato shared the Central Land of the Reed Plains--like the Hayato and the Emishi. We also take a look at the Yamato court's widening relationship with and use of Buddhism. Along the way we take a look at a few different incidents and reports, including omens, hunting and fishing restrictions, and a story of sweet wine that reportedly cured the worst of diseases.

My name is Joshua and this is episode 155: Immigrants, Priests, and Sweet Wine The three priests and their companions could see the distinctive pagoda from a distance away. It stood several stories tall, and the bells at the eave ends glinted in the morning light. To their right, a tall, conical peak stood out from the other mountains, much like a miniature Mt. Fuji. From there, the mountains swept down to the flat plain, which then ended at the edge of the giant body of water known as Lake Biwa. The pagoda rose up between the two, its uppermost spire jutting upwards towards the sky. Around it, much of the flat area had been carved into rectangular rice paddies, with paths and thatched roof buildings around—most of them low to the ground, distinctive of the muro style still prominent amongst most of the common people. As such, though it didn't come anywhere near the grandeur of the temples in the capital, even a provincial temple stood out with its tiled roof and the brightly colored, red, white, and green walls and windows. As they approached, the group saw a crowd of people by the gates. Many of them seemed ill and infirm. They had come to be healed by the waters of the temple—the same healing waters that had brought these priests all the way from the capital to investigate. We are covering a bunch of different things from the reign of Uno no Sarara, from 686 to 697. This episode we take a journey through a few different topics. Mostly we are talking about foreigners—both those from overseas and the ones that Yamato shared the archipelago with—and with Buddhism and how the court used this continental religion that had already become a key organ of the Yamato State. To start with, let's talk about immigrants. Immigration to the archipelago by this point isn't anything new—and I'm not just talking about the groups that came over and kickstarted the Yayoi culture and the eventual mounded tomb period that we know as the Kofun era. There were numerous ethno-linguistic groups that fell under Yamato's hegemony, and evidence of active migration. Of the various groups on the archipelago, there appear to be several categories. For instance, we have groups that are clearly external immigrants, from outside of the archipelago and then we have those groups that appear to be considered indigenous, at least by Yamato's thinking.. Some of this can be seen in how they are treated, discussed, and even assimilated. Those external, while often presented as being in a tribute status, are still treated differently from those on the archipelago, where the land borders of Yamato would abut against the territories of local ethnic groups. This probably also had something to do with the claim that the Heavenly Grandchild and their descendants, the current Tennou, were presumably given sovereignty over the entire Land of the Central Reed Plains, aka the Japanese archipelago. External immigrants included people from Silla, and, even though the kingdoms themselves had fallen and been absorbed by Silla, Gogureyo and Baekje. This last one might be a bit surprising if we think about it in modern terms where we tend to think in terms of citizenship and nationality first and foremost. So we think of someone as being American, French, or Japanese based on the country they came from. But that American might be Dine—aka Navaho—or they could identify as Cajun or their parents might have been immigrants from somewhere else and they are the first generation born in the US. That doesn't mean they aren't American, but "American" is only part of their identity. Likewise that Japanese person could be Ainu, Ryukyuan, or even one of the Bonin islanders. That is to say they may be from an ethno-linguistic group other than the majority ethnic group in that nation. In the same vein, while it's true that Baekje had been conquered by Silla, that doesn't mean that the Baekje people were suddenly erased and that the people suddenly changed their lifestyles or language overnight. And so, while they may have been subjects of the Silla kingdom, there were still Baekje people both in Silla and in the archipelago. And as late as 690, decades after it was conquered, we see that Baekje immigrants were arriving in Japan. Similarly, we see Goguryeo immigrants who came over in 687, three years earlier, even though that kingdom no longer existed. They were settled in Hitachi, where they were given lands, received an allowance of grain to help tide them over, and then allowed to grow their community and work, as long as they did so peacefully, under the care of the local Yamato officials. And it isn't difficult to see why people of Baekje and Goguryeo might come to the archipelago. Their other options were to head to the Great Tang, which had been the other conquering force, or possibly to go find refuge with various Tungusic ethnic groups around the Amur river area, outside of Tang control. What actually strikes me as a bit more surprising, to be honest, is the immigration of people from Silla. After all, Silla was ascendant, was it not? They had just unified the peninsula and this seems like it would have been a great time to be team Silla, and yet we see people leaving to come to Yamato. For instance, in 687 we see 14 immigrants from Silla settled in Shimotsuke. 22 more were presented by the Dazai-Sochi and settled in the land of Musashi. In 689 and then in 690 we see more Silla immigrants settled in both places. We also had 50 people come over with Buddhist priests, though we don't know where they ended up settling. So both Musashi and Shimotsuke were being settled with immigrants from Silla. Musashi, if you didn't already know, is the name for the area that would largely become the Tokyo metropolis in modern times. Shimotsuke was the land adjoining it to the northeast. In all likelihood, all of these people were probably being located to areas near each other, even though they are mentioned as being in different provinces. That may have been more of an administrative distinction. That also seems to indicate that they were likely being relocated to border areas where there weren't already large populations, probably because that is where there was open land that wasn't already claimed. We see something similar with the court sending the people from Goguryeo all the way to Hitachi. It does make me wonder what must have happened for someone to choose to come to the Japanese archipelago from Silla to be sent all the way to the far end of Yamato to work the land. In previous centuries I would have assumed that these were captives brought back from raids against the mainland, but by all accounts—and the fact that we continue to have relatively cordial diplomatic relations between Yamato and Silla—it appears that Yamato wasn't sending raids and that these individuals were likely coming willingly. Perhaps they were getting crowded out somewhere in Silla, and had heard of new opportunities. Or perhaps they had done something to make them persona-non-grata, as they say, back in their home country. Whatever the reason, there were a number of people coming over, who would have also brought their cultural and technological knowledge along with them. And many of them were being settled in the far eastern end of Honshu—though that may be something for another time. The indigenous category includes not only the Wa people of Yamato, but also the Hayato and the Emishi. Of these we don't have a lot of information about who they were or what languages they spoke. For the Hayato we only have a few possible words of their language, and various other things that we know from Yamato's court records. We know that the Yamato officials needed interpreters to speak with the Hayato. There are those that theorize that the Hayato language had evolved from one of the languages spoken during the Jomon era—which doesn't give us much to go on other than the idea that it may not have been a Japonic language. Attempts have been made to connect the Hayato with the unique burial features and other material artifacts of southern Kyushu, and then to the previous ethnic group, known as the Kumaso—or possibly the Kuma and So—but so far there are theories but no hard and fast connections. For example, we know that the Hayato were said to be from Ata and Ohosumi, according to the records of the court, but they also only show up in the late 7th century. Prior to that we have stories of the Kumaso, and even people called Tsuchigumo. Were those previous names for the ancestors of the Hayato? Or were the Hayato encountered later, as Yamato's borders expanded, having perhaps encompassed the lands of the Kumaso and now running into the Hayato? The fact that they show up so late in the narrative is particularly interesting, as they really only get mentioned in the reign of Ohoama and then Uno no Sarara—though they would be particularly active in the years to come, when the Nihon Shoki was being compiled. For example, we know that the Hayato were brought into the court system, and also that they resisted, with numerous rebellions in the 8th century, though at this early point, things seemed to be going well. So Hayato were coming to the court, likely seeing some benefit in their association with Yamato. They are shown coming in fairly significant numbers as well. Meanwhile, we have the ongoing assimilation of the Emishi. Unlike the Hayato, the Emishi have shown up in the narrative since the legendary period. We've talked about them quite a bit in various episodes. Even within the Emishi, the Emishi of Koshi are differentiated from the Emishi further north in Tohoku. Linguistically, a lot of place names in Tohoku and eastern Honshu have been compared to the Ainu language, with suspicions that a related language was in use in eastern and northeastern Japan for some time. Tohoku is also the area that most resisted Yayoi culture, based on archaeological finds. We know that wet rice paddy agriculture also made early in-roads into Tohoku, but then retreated much farther south, perhaps because it wasn't as suitable for the colder climate at that time. Northern material culture continued to exhibit signs of evolution from the previous Jomon era, with Hokkaido continuing a tradition that we know as the Epi-Jomon, which we first talked about back in episode 50, and several times since then as well.. There were some mounded tombs—even some keyhole shaped tombs around Sendai and Osaki, in modern Miyagi prefecture—but nothing comparable to the large numbers of tombs found in areas further to the south. The Yamato people had had regular encounters with people called "Emishi" since at least the time of Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tenno. During the time that Takara Hime was on the throne a second time, there were massive military operations, first against the Emishi, and then supporting them against the Mishihase people in what appears to have been Hokkaido. The Emishi were further brought under the Yamato court and into the court rank system, and we see rank handed out to various members of the group. Then, in the reign of Uno no Sarara, we start to see further cultural assimilation in the form of the spread of Buddhism. In 689, we are told of Shiriko, an "Emishi of Kikafu, in Ukitamu district, in Michinoku". This possibly refers to Okitama no Kori, a district in modern Yamagata Prefecture. Shiriko had two sons, Maro and Kanawori, who requested permission to shave their hair and become Buddhist priests. Perhaps related to this, about twenty days before, about 231 Emishi men and women had attended a banquet under the tsuki tree by Asukadera, where they were given gifts and rank. Did that inspire them to want to learn more about this "Buddhism" thing? Either way, Uno no Sarara agreed. In the edict she commented that Maro and his brother were both refined and modest, despite their youth, and that they were eating vegetarian dishes and keeping the Buddhist precepts. So presumably this wasn't a last minute decision on their part, though we should probably take the wording in the edict with at least a grain of salt, given their purpose. Only six days later we see that the court is presenting a load of gifts to an Emishi monk named Doushin. Doushin is said to have been a Koshi Emishi, rather than the Kitafu Emishi of Michinoku. The court granted him a Buddhist statue, a purification flag, a wine cup, a begging bowl, five-colored silk cloth, thirteen pounds of flossed silk, 10 bolts of regular cloth, ten hoes, and a saddle. Six months later there is another priest: Jitoku, an Emishi of Michinoku, who is granted a gold-copper image of Yakushi Buddha and a gold-copper image of Kanzeon—or Kannon—Boddhisatva, as well as a bell, a begging bowl, a precious curtain, an incense burner, and a banner. What this looks like, to me, is the court promoting Buddhism among the Emishi. This feels similar to the way that priests also spread the worship of Mt. Miwa or other kami. While Buddhism was technically universal, the Court had ensured that they had a hand on the center of Buddhist teaching, at least early on. Indeed, at the same time that Uno no Sarara was building up the Jingikan and bolstering the worship of Amaterasu at Ise Grand Shrine, she and the court were also leveraging Buddhism and Buddhist concepts in a variety of ways. She put it in an edict to the ministers in 691. She noted that they had erected Buddhist Halls and Sutra repositories, and they practiced the six monthly fasts. The sovereigns would occasionally send Ohotoneri to inquire after the welfare of priests. As such, they should continue to uphold the Buddhsit Faith with zealous hearts. Upholding the faith wasn't just about words. There were actual financial contributions. Besides the national temples, there were gifts made, such as those to the Emishi priests, mentioned earlier. In 692, Kwansei was presented silk and cloth and commended for making white lead, which was a popular ingredient for cosmetics. Later that year, Yamada no Mikata was granted rank, and the fact that he had gone to Silla to study as a priest is mentioned in conjunction with that, though apparently he either didn't take orders or had gone back to being a lay person. And in 693 they gave the priest, Hokyo, 3 chou worth or rice-land. And in 696 there were 30 houses granted as a sustenance-fief to Bendou, a priest of Daikandaiji. And that tells us the kinds of resources the State was putting towards it, but what were they using Buddhism for? What purpose did it serve the State, or was it purely altruistic? A big part of it, as we have discussed in the past, was through the concept of karma and merit. The court seems to have been making a variety of decisions that look to be efforts to increase the State's merit. This is a continuation of things we saw in Ohoama's reign, along with some new moves. For instance, we have previously mentioned in passing how the court was giving alms to the elderly and infirm, at least in the capital, and we see a lot more amnesties—though often qualified amnesties, with various crimes excluded. Then there were things like the edict of 689, in which Hunting and Fishing were prohibited in the Sea of Muko in the province of Settsu for a distance of 1000 paces, and for 20,000 shiro on the plain of Nagino in the district of Ate in the province of Kii, and for 20,000 shiro on the plains of Mino in the district and province of Iga. The edict also attached keepers to these places in the same way as the Sea of Takashi in the district of Ohotori in the province of Kawachi. Right off the bat we know a few things. First off, this is the first time we've seen an edict like this, and yet the Chronicles say that this is similar to the way that "Keepers" were attached to the Sea of Takashi in Ohotori district. The term used for "Keepers" appears to be "shugo", which would later be used for military governors in the Kamakura period, which would eventually become the shugo daimyo and then the Sengoku daimyo—our namesake. But in this case it appears that "shugo" is just a literal translation of a "protector". In front of that is the word "oku", meaning to keep or preserve. Hence Aston's translation of these people as "keepers". What is not clear to me is whether this is a reference to something that happened earlier, and just didn't get recorded, or if the Chroniclers are talking about a later practice which the audience for the Nihon Shoki would have been familiar with. The Takashi sea would refer to the Seto Inland Sea just off the coast of Takashi, which was in Kawachi, south of modern Osaka. The other places we see named are the Sea of Muko, in Settsu, which would have been north and west from modern Osaka, as well as Nagino in Kii and Mino in Iga. Nagino's location is not quite certain. Ate is likely Arida, and Nagino may be what was eventually Nago, now thought to be near or including the Hirogawa region of Wakayama. Later there were be prohibitions on fishining in the areas of Yuasa, Hiro, and Hirogawa, so perhaps there was also a prohibition on hunting on the plains. This is all on the west side of the Kii peninsula, south of modern Osaka, so still facing the Seto Inland Sea. Iga, however, was on the other side of the peninsula. Given that it was in Iga district of the land of Iga, this prohibition would definitely be about hunting, and not fishing. It is also interesting to take a look at the measurements involved. The one clear prohibition on fishing, in the Sea of Muko, is measured in paces while the other two are mentioned as being on the "plains"—though technically it should probably be "Nagi Plain" and "Mi Plain"—and they are measured differently, in something called "shiro". By the way, I tried to find how big a "shiro" was and I couldn't quite do it. I wonder if the difference there, though, is area versus length: For the sea of Muko it probably meant the waters directly out from the shore of Muko, and so I imagine that the paces were measure out from a certain point, walking along the shoreline, and then you couldn't go out into the sea in those areas to fish. For the plains you could have more definitive markers indicating a particular area that was under the prohibition. For another clue to protected areas and distances, we see later that "long-life places" were established throughout the various provinces, each one being 1000 paces. Aston notes that "long life places" indicated areas where animals couldn't be harmed, and given that they talk about it in terms of "paces" I would assume that means these were probably more prohibitions on fishing. That language also suggests to me that there was some kind of Buddhist reasoning behind it—mercy for the creatures of the land. It isn't clear how long these prohibitions remained in effect, either. This may also explain an order just a few days later that a white swallow that was caught in Mike, in the land of Sanuki, should be set free. Unusually white or albino animals were often caught and presented to the throne as auspicious omens, not always in a live state. However, Buddhism often teaches that there is merit in releasing animals, and so this feels like it was a way of demonstrating mercy and building merit, while also acknowledging the auspicious omen that accompanied its appearance. Also in this edict is who it is directed to: Tanaka no Ason no Norimaro, who is named as the "soryo" of Iyo. We've mentioned this before, in passing; this was a position similar to the Dazai no Sochi. Effectively, the government official in charge of Iyo was in charge of the entire island of Shikoku. Unlike the Dazai no Sochi, this position does not seem to have remained for long; instead, Shikoku was divided up into separate provinces and then each province had its own governor. By the way, we've talked about Norimaro before, as well. He was previously in charge of the mission to Silla, when they went to announce Ohoama's demise, but then ran into a bunch of diplomatic etiquette issues such that they weren't able to deliver the news—or perhaps more appropriately they decided they couldn't deliver the news. So from representing the court on missions, Norimaro went on to become the government official in Iyo overseeing all of Shikoku. A couple of years later he would show up again, this time sending gold and silver that had apparently been found at Mt. Mima in Uwa district—modern Uwajima. Unfortunately, after that he disappears from the narrative, and the position seems to end with him. Speaking of animals—the presentation of auspicious plants animals continued, and was often wrapped up with amnesties and similar such things. The year 692 seems to have been of particular significance. There we see the Governor of Sagami presenting a pair of fledgling red crows that had been caught in Miura. Later we see that the governor, the vice governor, and the individual who had caught the crows—Kashima no Omi no Kusu—were gifted with rank and presents, while Miura district had its taxes and forced labor remitted for a period of three years. Later that same year, the Governor of Ise presented auspicious stalks of rice while the Governor of Echizen, that is to say the western part of Koshi closest to the capital, presented a white moth. The stalks of rice don't seem to have warranted much, but the white moth, which presumably was not just a moth that is naturally white, was apparently considered something noteworthy. We are told that it was caught on the shore at Uragami, in the district of Tsuruga. As such, the Fief of the Kebi no Kami—the kami of Kebi, or at least his shrine—was increased by 20 houses. Unfortunately, we have a lacuna or gap in the text so we don't get everything else. This is a good reminder that sometimes we don't have anything because it wasn't written down, and sometimes because accidents happen. Either something doesn't get transcribed properly or something gets damaged early on and there aren't enough copies for it to propagate from another source. Our next omens come in 694—the same year that the Fujiwara Palace was occupied. We are told that a white copper-pheasant was presented by Sarara in Kawachi. So the Governor and Vice-Governor of the district received promotions, as did the many who had caught it, Osakabe no Miyatsuko no Karakuni. Four months later, a white bat was found by a man in Araki, in Hida province. His name was Ohokunibe no Otohi, and he didn't receive a promotion in court rank, but he did get material presents in terms of silk cloth and floss, and, perhaps more importantly, he was exempted from all forced labor for the rest of his life. Not a bad deal, if you ask me. Now omens were good and all, but omens were hardly active expressions by the government. When things were happening—like damaging rains—or perhaps not happening—like droughts—people wanted the government to do something. I know it may be hard for people to believe in this day and age, but many people believed that the government was responsible for all sorts of things that it had little control over. In this case, that was the weather, and the state could at least prepare by collecting taxes in rice and then providing relief via those same resources. But that still only did so much. So when months went by with no rain falling, the state would turn towards ritual. In some cases that ritual was directed at the kami and the new Jingikan, but in other cases, it fell on Buddhist priests. So, for example, in 688 we are told that there was a drought and the court initiated prayers for rain. Those prayers were carried out by the priest Douzou. Douzou was of Baekje extraction, but that didn't concern the court—they just wanted to know that he was effective. Sure enough, after praying for rain, the clouds opened up and before morning the rain had fallen. We are told it fell "across the realm", which I'm pretty sure is hyperbole. It probably fell all across the Nara plains and surrounding areas, which was enough for the court. In 691, they were struck with the opposite problem, which we know because the court issued an edict dated to the 19th day of the 6th month of that year. Apparently rain had fallen for two straight months. And while the fifth month rains—the Satsuki-ame—are well-known, this apparently had started back in the 4th month of that year, and now there was a worry that it would start to injure the crops, reducing the annual yield. The conclusion appears to have been that the country did not have enough merit. Therefore the ministers and officials were prohibited from the use of strong drink or meat—Aston translates it directly as "animal food". They were also ordered to compose their hearts and repent of any sins they may have committed. At the same time, the priests in the temples of the capital and Home provinces were told to recite sutras for five straight days. We also know that a day later they announced an amnesty for various criminals, as well. Another act of mercy and hopefully for making merit. And it seems to have worked. Or one could just say that the natural monsoon rains finally stopped after a particularly heavy season. Who's to say? In the 5th intercalary month of 692, the rains were again pretty bad. This time it isn't that they were long, but that it was heavy rain—what Japanese meteorology reports would likely call "Oyu", or Great Rain—which brought with it floods. Unfortunately, while they could pray for rain to start or stop, floods are another matter. By the time you know the flood has happened it is too late. And so this is where the government's preparedness came into focus. Commissioners were sent to visit the districts and provinces. There they found people affected by the flooding and they were empowered to make loans to provide relief. Furthermore, they allowed people to access resources that might otherwise have been restricted, allowing them to fish and cut wood in the hills, forests, ponds, and marshes, even if that was normally a prohibited activity, so that they could sustain themselves until they were able to get back on their feet. At the same time, the Sutra of Golden Light, the Konkwoumyou Sutra, one of the sutras for protecting the state, was to be read aloud in the capital and the Home Provinces. The Sutra of Golden Light is the one which not only talks about the Shitennou, the four heavenly kings, but also emphasizes that if rulers support and honor the recitation of the sutra, then their kingdoms would be prosperous and peaceful, so what better time to read it than during or just after a disaster? There were other recitations and congregations that were not quite so obviously connected. In 690, there were discourses in the inner precinct of the palace during the "Vassa", known in Japanese as "Ango" or "Dwelling in Peace". This comes from the tradition in Buddhism where it is said that the Buddha and his disciples, though normally traveling around the countryside, would come together during the rainy season. During this time they would talk and share. It is still practiced in many Theravada schools, where monks will gather in temples during the rainy season. Of course, as we've discussed, the 5th month was right in the middle of Japan's rainy season, so it seems like they may have been attempting to emulate that tradition. Three years later, we are told that they held a great-congregation of monks on that same date—the 15th day of the 5th month. This is not referred to as an Ango, however, possibly noting a change in the way they were organizing or conducting it—or possibly just because it was referred to differently in the record the Chroniclers used. That said, a great-congregation was simply a Buddhist gathering, where various priests would provide sermons or sutra readings, and not necessarily tied to a particular time. Another one was called in the 9th month of 693 on behalf of the late sovereign, Ohoama and all prisoners were released, which was no doubt merit seen as accruing to the late sovereign. A month after that, the Benevolent King Sutra, or Ninnou-kyou, was expounded in the provinces for four days. This is another one of the sutras considered important for the well-being of the state. In 694 we have 100 copies of the Konkwoumyou sutra—the Sutra of Golden Light—being sent out to the provinces, with the intent that they should be read together, at a certain time, when the moon of the first month was in the first quarter. Any fees or resources needed by the temples to carry this out were to be defrayed from the public revenues of the provinces. As Aston points out, "revenues" in this case would not necessarily be cash money. Not that they didn't have coins—they had the Fuhonsen coins from Ohoama's time; see Episode 146 for more information. We are even told that in 694 the court appointed three officials—Ohoyake no Maro, Utena no Yashima, and Kibumi no Honjitsu—to be governors for the mint, although Aston notes a Shoku Nihongi account from 708 that claimed that was the "first time" the title was given out. Either way, even though they were minting coins, these wouldn't have been in common circulation. The government may have used them to pay for things, but taxes coming in, especially in the provinces would have been in-kind taxes, meaning that the revenue to the temples were likely paid in rice, cloth, or similar. We similarly see another edict to read the Golden Light sutra on the first day of the twelfth month of 696. This time it wasn't just a one time reading, though: they were setting a precedent. The edict was to expound the Sutra of Golden Light and then, every year hence, they would schedule ten people of pure life who should be inducted as monks on the eve of the New Year. I have to wonder about how they had people take orders—and whether it was a lifelong commitment or, as in some cultures, today, a temporary position. After all, Ohoama took orders but didn't exactly remain "retired" for all that long. The same thing had happened back in 694, when one hundred and four people were made to enter religion for the sake of Royal Princess Asuka. So how long did they remain Buddhist priests? There is a reference, in 693, of a priest being stripped of his monkhood. It was done by royal order for a Goguryeo priest Fukuka, and it isn't made clear why. Was it something that the priest wanted? Maybe they wanted to stop being a monk for some reason? Or was it done as a punishment? There was apparently a great-congregation only about two weeks prior. Maybe there was some drama? We'll probably never know. In 697, there was an uptick in merit-making. In the third month, a great-congregation was being held in the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace was the home of the Crown Prince, so this may have something to do with the planned succession, but then in the 6th month we see a bunch of things happening. There was a royal order for sutras to be read in temples in the Home Provinces, and then, nine days later, an order that people of 5th rank and lower were to go spend time cleaning out the temples in the capital. On the 26th, 11 days after that, we get a record the seems to bring this into focus, as the Ministers and public functionaries started making votive images of the Buddha for the sake of Uno no Sarara's illness. It seems that she was feeling unwell, which probably kicked off a lot of this activity, and may even be why she finally decided to abdicate. There was one more seemingly related note. On the 29th day of the 7th month the Ministers and public functionaries prepared a festival for the installation of Buddhist images in the temple of Yakushiji. This was the temple Ohoama had originally commissioned for Uno no Sarara during his reign when she was sick back then. She had recovered, then, and she would recover again—but her faith in the healing power of the Buddha may have been limited. She would abdicate a few days later, leaving the throne to Prince Karu—the future Monmu Tennou. One last thing, somewhat tangential, it seems. In the 11th month of 693, three priests, Houin, Zen'ou, and Shingi, set out, along with others, to the Yasu district in Afumi to taste the sweet wine of the local springs. This is likely the area around the Yasu river, where it flows northwest from the mountains into Lake Biwa. Today it is Yasu city on one side of the river and Moriyama city on the other. They apparently came back in the third month of the following year, as that is when we get a royal edict concerning said springs. Based on that, we are told that the spring of quote-unquote "sweet wine" or "sweet sake" bubbled up at Mt. Tsuga in the Yasu district of Afumi. Mt. Tsuga, or Tsugayama, may be related to "Moriyama", and Moriyama city is still known for the spring water that comes out of the nearby mountains. In the edict they mention that people who were afflicted with various disease would stay at Yasudera, where they presumably drank the water from the springs, and many of them found themselves healed. For this miraculous occurrence, the temple itself was awarded four chou of rice-land, and an amount of cloth. In addition, the district of Yasu was exempted from taxes and forced labor, as well as from any other kinds of corvees that might be levied, for at least one year. Local authorities were promoted a grade in rank, and gifts were made out to those who were credited with first discovering the springs and their miraculous properties—Kadono no Hatsuki and the daughter of Kudara no Tsurara. A couple of extra notes, based on what we see here. First off, it is unfortunately too often the case that we see women described like this—the daughter of so-and-so—without providing an actual name. It is interesting that she is the daughter of someone with the name "Kudara", meaning "Baekje". During the reign of Naka no Ohoe, aka Tenji Tennou, a number of Baekje people were settled in the areas around Lake Biwa and the Echi River, the next major river to the northeast. The temple mentioned, Yasudera, would have been the local temple, probably run by the local elites. That likely means the Yasu no Atai family. The temple itself is no more, and we aren't sure exactly where it was, but there is a strong case to be made that archaeological remains at Yoshimi-chou, in modern Moriyama city, might be that temple. Still, there is no conclusive evidence. As for springs having healing properties—this is nothing new. Minerals could have given the water a sweet taste, or perhaps there was something that clouded it, like nigori-zake—unfiltered rice wine. Whether or not there were any natural healing properties I leave up to your own imagining. Did people actually benefit from the waters? Or maybe just because they believed? Was the fact that a Buddhist temple was involved part of it, or is this just the same thing we see with people going to various springs and imparting to them some healing properties? Either way, it seems that at some point the spring no longer produced the "sweet wine" that had made it famous in its day, and people moved on to a different location. For now, I think we can stop here. We have probably one more episode talking about specific items from this reign, but we are starting to get more and more sources, including the poetry of the Man'yoshu, which I hope to dig into here in a bit. Plus a few other things in the works. Until then if you like what we are doing, please tell your friends and feel free to rate us wherever you listen to podcasts.

Reverend Dr. Judi Stetson Weaver is a trance channel, energy healer and spiritual teacher who has been channeling since 2013. In this Portal To Ascension transmission from the Mystery School at Sea, she traces an improbable path: a Southern Baptist girl terrified of the "eyes" that watched her from her bedroom walls, a light beam that lit the Bible in her hands, the Holy Spirit sweeping girl-to-girl around a church-camp cabin, and the night a voice woke her and told her to fly to Florida and heal her staunchly atheist, cancer-stricken father — who became a man of faith and lived nine more years. She describes John of God's healers in Brazil inserting "crystal hardware" into her body so it could handle the healing energy to come — then, live before the room, she channels Jamar, a 25,000-year-old Lemurian elder, and Archangel Gabriel, on emotions, fear, and the truth that is found within.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 222 If we really peel back so much of the ranting and the drama around the Nazi Experiment, what are we left with? Well, the point, to be frank. In this episode of the Nazi Experiment series on the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into that point, which Adolf Hitler himself makes clear in a remarkably short chapter of his 1928 "Secret Book," which went unpublished throughout his lifetime. Meant to be something like a third volume to Mein Kampf focused on Nazi foreign policy, this short book barely saw the light of day. Here, we will learn what Hitler means when he declares himself a nationalist, a socialist, and a national socialist, and we will understand with horror his clear-eyed self-awareness that the whole future of his movement lay in the youth pulled from the children of the establishment national bourgeoisie.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Getaway returned to Miami on August 24 after a passenger fell from a stateroom balcony onto a lower exterior deck on the final night of a three-night Bahamas cruise; crew provided life-sustaining measures but the guest did not survive, and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Homicide Bureau is handling the case as an unclassified death investigation. Margaritaville at Sea will begin weekly Galveston sailings in October 2027 under an operating agreement approved August 25, making it the seventh cruise brand operating from the Texas port, with the line already homeporting at the Port of Palm Beach and Port Tampa Bay. And Harland & Wolff's Belfast yard has won the 12-week refit of the Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber, the former Costa Fortuna, a project expected to generate 40 million pounds for the Belfast region before the ship begins year-round Caribbean and Bahamas cruises from PortMiami in January 2027.
Orchids are the botanical poster children for plant-fungi interactions. Every orchid has a close relationship with at least one species of orchid. Understanding how these relationships play out from orchid roots and across ecosystems is key to orchid understanding and conservation. Joining us to talk about the complexity of understanding these relationships is Dr. Melissa McCormick of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and the North American Orchid Conservation Center. Listen in and learn about what it takes to study orchids and their fungi and how that knowledge improves orchid conservation efforts.

María Blanco disecciona la obra de Adam Smith, que sigue siendo una referencia en la actualidad. Hace 250 años, un profesor escocés de filosofía moral publicó un libro que nadie esperaba y que cambiaría para siempre la forma en que el mundo entiende la riqueza, el comercio y la naturaleza humana. Se trata de Adam Smith, uno de los pensadores más influyentes en el mundo contemporáneo. Su legado está íntimamente ligado al liberalismo y funda la economía moderna. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, celebramos el aniversario de La riqueza de las naciones con María Blanco, profesora de Economía y una de las mayores especialistas en Adam Smith en España. Repasamos las enseñanzas del libro que dio origen a la ciencia económica y que, dos siglos y medio después, sigue siendo más relevante que nunca. Lo primero que Smith hace en su obra es un giro copernicano: la riqueza no es el oro acumulado en las arcas del rey, sino el flujo de bienes producidos y llevados al mercado para ser intercambiados. Una definición que hoy suena a definición de manual de PIB, pero que en 1776 era una revolución. El mercantilismo que dominaba la época creía que el comercio era un juego de suma cero: para que una nación ganara, otra tenía que perder. Por el contrario, Smith demostró que era exactamente al revés. Cuando dos partes intercambian libremente ambas salen beneficiadas. Y no solo ellas: toda la sociedad mejora por ese proceso, porque el comercio transmite información, coordina la producción y genera prosperidad sin que nadie lo dirija desde arriba.Música Esta semana, el protagonista de nuestra selección musical es la banda británica Morcheeba.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 179 Woke can be summarized in a single, short way. Woke means thinking with critical theory and acting like a Leninist. That's all it really comes down to: having awakened to the alleged relevance of counter-hegemonic critical theory combined with friend-enemy tribal politics and Machiavellian permission structures. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks it all down, making Woke easier than it ever has been before.

A seven-night Norwegian Jewel cruise review from Philadelphia to Bermuda and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Jacob shares what it was like sailing from Philadelphia's developing cruise terminal, including the unusual hotel check-in and shuttle process, as well as his first impressions of the 21-year-old Norwegian Jewel. We cover his interior cabin, a frustrating plumbing issue, the main dining room and buffet food, and specialty dining at Cagney's, Le Bistro, Moderno, and La Cucina. Jacob also discusses Norwegian's Freestyle Dining concept, entertainment, crowds, and whether the older ship still delivers good value. In Bermuda, he visits Horseshoe Bay, takes a sunset rum cruise, and goes clear kayaking before Norwegian Jewel heads north for a short stop in Halifax. Plus, we cover the week's cruise news, including changes to Norwegian Cruise Line's Free at Sea specialty dining benefit, Carnival's White Hot Night, Margaritaville at Sea's plans for Galveston, and Disney Cruise Line's return to New York.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 221 However weird you thought the Nazis were before, they're weirder than that. In fact, they were outright mystics, and the point of the Positive Christianity movement given in Point 24 of the Nazi Party platform can only be summarized as to take German Christians of all stripes, deconstruct their Christian faiths, and move them into this counterfeit mysticism and the Nazi "Myth of the Blood." Hitler's chief ideologist, Alfred Rosenberg, makes that case powerfully and undeniably in the third chapter of his very strange book, The Myth of the Twentieth Century (https://ia800405.us.archive.org/31/items/alfred-rosenberg-and-the-track-of-the-jew-through-the-ages/The%20Myth%20of%20the%2020th%20Century.pdf). In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues his series of readings from Rosenberg's strange tome with a fifth volume exploring the centrality of German Mysticism derived from the heresies of Johannes Eckhart from the 13th century. Join him for an alarming look at Nazi ideology like you've never seen before.
