Snažili se, aby proruské strany dohromady měly dostatek křesel v parlamentu, a mohly tak zabránit radikálním ústavním změnám,“ říká ve Studiu N reportérka zahraniční redakce Petra Procházková. „Putinova největší noční můra je Trump v Jerevanu,“ dodává v rozhovoru. Arménský premiér Nikol Pašinjan sice vyhrál volby a na první pohled by se zdálo, že země potvrdila proevropské směřování. Výsledek je ale složitější. Proruská opozice nečekaně posílila, premiér nedosáhne na ústavní většinu a čísla ukazují, že skoro čtyřicet procent Arménů chce dobré vztahy s Moskvou. „Pro Armény je určující pragmatismus a touha přežít – a to ne v úplné nuzotě. Oni podřídí zahraniční politiku tomu, co bude pro Arménii prospěšné, ne co bude hodnotové,“ vysvětluje v podcastu Procházková. Jak se stalo, že Pašinjan politicky přežil porážku v Náhorním Karabachu? Proč tolik Arménů pořád věří Rusku? A dokáže Evropa kavkazské zemi nabídnout skutečné bezpečnostní garance? Podívejte se na celý rozhovor.

What happens to a man when he stops believing tomorrow can be better than today? Men over 55 make up 28% of suicide deaths despite being only 12% of the population — and at the core of that crisis is a loss of FutureVision. In this episode, JT and Anthony explore what it means to have a "why" big enough to sustain you, the role of faith and load-bearing friendships in keeping that vision alive, and why moral decisions and meaningful living both demand that you see beyond today. Vision has no age limit — but it does require the courage to act in the present like the future depends on it.I'm looking for a reasonRoaming through the night to findMy place in this worldMy place in this worldNot a lot to lean onI need Your light to help me findMy place in this worldMy place in this world- "My Place In This World," Michael W.

U novom izdanju Radar Foruma, sudija Miodrag Majić, u ulozi izazivača, ugostio je profesora Miodraga Jovanovića s kojim je otvoreno govorio o slomu profesionalne etike, ali i o tome kako bi morao da izgleda „veliki reset“ društva kroz pravnu odgovornost onih na samom vrhu i beskompromisnu lustraciju onih koji su lažima zatrovali javni prostor. Pitanje kako očistiti i resetovati duboko kompromitovani sistem nakon tektonskih političkih promena ostaje ključna tačka razilaženja srpske intelektualne elite. Majić upozorava da se nijedno pravosuđe ne može samo izboriti sa masovnim kršenjem zakona u koje je uvučena polovina građana. Profesor Jovanović podvlači da je lustracija moćno, ali i izuzetno opasno političko oružje koje se lako može pretvoriti u sredstvo revanšizma narednih vlasti ukoliko se njome barata bez hirurške preciznosti. „Oni koji priželjkuju 'veliki reset' često zamišljaju bajkovitu situaciju u kojoj se budimo sa potpuno novim ljudima u državnom aparatu. To je praktično neizvodljivo i politički nepotrebno. Odgovornost, i to pre svega pravna odgovornost, mora biti ustanovljena za glavu te ribe, a ne za rep – to je ono što ljudi podrazumevaju pod '6. oktobrom' i odatle se kreće. Beskompromisna odgovornost stvara zamajac da više nijedna politička elita ne sme da bude sigurna da joj se ništa neće dogoditi dok je na vlasti. Moraju stalno da imaju strah nad glavom, da paze šta rade na dnevnom nivou, umesto da se bahate. To je na jednoj strani, ali na drugoj strani, lustracija je opasan mehanizam ako mu se jednom pribegne, a bez dovoljno jakih i valjanih i opravdanja, a dodao bih i razloga političke razboritosti, onda to može biti alatka kojoj će svaka naredna vlast pribegavati."

Hebrejom 8,1-13 1 Zo všetkého, o čom hovoríme, je hlavné toto: máme takého veľkňaza, ktorý si zasadol po pravici trónu Velebnosti v nebesiach 2 ako služobník svätyne a pravého stanu, ktorý postavil Pán, a nie človek. 3 Veď každý veľkňaz je ustanovený na to, aby prinášal dary a obety, preto aj on musel mať niečo, čo by obetoval. 4 Keby bol na zemi, nemohol by byť kňazom, pretože tu sú tí, čo prinášali dary podľa Zákona. 5 No oni slúžia obrazu a tieňu nebeskej skutočnosti, ako to bolo prikázané Mojžišovi, keď sa chystal zhotoviť stan: Hľaď — povedal mu —, aby si všetko urobil podľa vzoru, ktorý ti bol ukázaný na vrchu. 6 Teraz však dostal o toľko vznešenejšiu službu, o koľko je lepšia zmluva, ktorej je prostredníkom, lebo je ustanovená lepšími prisľúbeniami. 7 Veď keby tá prvá bola bývala bez chyby, nebolo by sa hľadalo miesto pre druhú. 8 Keď ich karhá, hovorí: Hľa, prichádzajú dni, hovorí Pán, a uzavriem s domom Izraela a s domom Júdu novú zmluvu. 9 Nie takú zmluvu, ako som uzavrel s ich otcami v ten deň, keď som ich vzal za ruku, aby som ich vyviedol z egyptskej krajiny. Oni totiž nezotrvali pri mojej zmluve a ja som ich opustil, hovorí Pán. 10 Lebo toto je zmluva, ktorú uzavriem s domom Izraela po tých dňoch, hovorí Pán. Svoje zákony vložím do ich mysle a napíšem ich na ich srdcia. Budem ich Bohom a oni budú mojím ľudom. 11 A nikto už nebude poúčať svojho blížneho ani brat svojho brata slovami: „Poznaj Pána!“, lebo ma budú poznať všetci, od najmenšieho po najväčšieho, 12 pretože sa zľutujem nad ich neprávosťami a na ich hriechy si viac nespomeniem. 13 Keď povedal novú, vyhlásil prvú za zastaranú. Čo však zostarlo a je prežité, blíži sa k zániku. Kristus – dokonalý Veľkňaz Novej zmluvy. Tieto verše sú nádherným obrazom Božej milosti. Boh už nevyžaduje vonkajšie obete a pravidlá, ale ponúka osobný vzťah založený na odpustení a vnútornej premene človeka. Nová zmluva je lepšia než Stará zmluva preto, lebo je založená na Božej milosti, nie na zákonníctve. Už nie sme odkázaní na vonkajšie predpisy, ale na živý vzťah s Bohom, ktorý premieňa naše srdcia zvnútra. Je to pozvanie k dôvere, že Boh nás prijíma, odpúšťa nám a vedie nás k hlbšiemu poznaniu Jeho lásky. Osobne som vďačný za to, že Ježiš ako Veľkňaz je pre mňa Tým, Kto sa neustále prihovára za mňa pred Bohom. Nie je vzdialený Sudca, ale blízky priateľ, Ktorý rozumie mojim slabostiam. V duchovnom raste mi pomáha uvedomiť si, že nemusím byť dokonalý, ale môžem sa spoliehať na Jeho silu a vedenie. Nová zmluva je pre mňa obrazom Božej blízkosti a vernosti. Vnímam ju ako nezaslúžený dar, ktorý ma učí pokore a vďačnosti. Odpustenie nie je len o tom, že Boh zabúda na hriechy, ale že mi dáva nový začiatok – možnosť rásť a meniť sa. Modlitba: Nebeský Otče, ďakujeme Ti za Novú zmluvu v Kristovi, ktorá nám prináša odpustenie a život! Vpíš Svoje zákony do našich sŕdc, aby sme Ti slúžili s vierou a láskou! Amen. Pieseň: ES 455 Autor: Jaroslav Majer Milosrdenstvo Hospodina chcem ospevovať naveky, Tvoju vernosť hlásať svojimi ústami z pokolenia na pokolenie. Žalm 89,2 Učeníci sa rozišli a všade kázali. Pán im pomáhal a ich slovo potvrdzoval znameniami, ktoré ich sprevádzali. Marek 16,20 Izaiáš 32,11-18 •  Modlíme sa za: Rimavská Píla (RiS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes vnímam, že máme veľkňaza, ktorý zasadol po pravici Pána — pristupujem k nemu s dôverou, vedomý/á, že On slúži v „pravom stane“ nebeskom? Kde sa vo mne ešte prejavuje snaha napĺňať Boha „vonkajšími obradmi“ namiesto toho, aby som nechal/ nechala Ježiša vpísať Jeho zákony do môjho srdca a mysle? Ako môže nová zmluva ovplyvniť moje každodenné rozhodnutia tak, aby som žil/žila ako Boží ľud — viac prijímajúc odpustenie, menej súdiac a viac milujúci/ca v službe druhým? Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný a ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Start Your GovCon Career: https://www.govclose.comMost government contractors are searching SAM.gov and missing the majority of opportunities. In this session, I walk through the One Nation Innovation marketplace. Marketplaces like ONI are being used at an increasing rate, and it's good to know where to find and how to use the marketplaces that are alternatives to SAM.gov. I also cover why I no longer pay for government contracting research tools, how to use the MITRE consortium list to find the right OTA pathway for your technology, and how to talk to a contracting officer about an upcoming recompete (a question from one of our recent GovClose coaching calls with Harold).If you're selling innovative tech, prototypes, or services to the federal government — especially DoD — this is the workflow I use every day.⏱ TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Why SAM.gov isn't enough anymore00:50 - Vetting One Nation Innovation: is this marketplace real?02:53 - Inside an O&I challenge: USSF Go Coliseum & scoring rubrics05:02 - Why I stopped paying for government contracting tools06:40 - Tony's story: from Marine Corps to GovClose member08:08 - SAM.gov contract awards search (the new FPDS replacement)09:30 - Finding OTA awards by awardee — the trick most people miss10:45 - The history of OTA: from the Space Race to the Department of War13:40 - How to verify a consortium is actually awarding contracts15:21 - Tom Clancy's question: do you need a relationship to win an OTA?19:30 - Pulling all OTA awards from the past 90 days22:09 - Tom's follow-up: are O&I OTAs required to be listed on SAM?23:09 - Finding more consortiums: the MITRE list method27:07 - DIU and the three currently open OTA pathways29:13 - Project Titan Core: modular data centers for AI compute32:22 - Harold's question: how to ask a CO about an upcoming recompete35:53 - Why upselling existing customers is the best government sales play39:25 - GovClose graduate results: real outcomes from the program

Oni nedělají politiku, oni dělají cirkus pro lidi, prohlásil o vládě Andreje Babiše (ANO) novinář Vratislav Dostál z Aktuálně.cz. Zda je Babiš silným, nebo slabým premiérem, se dá podle něj hodnotit z různých úhlů. „Pokud bychom to hodnotili ve vztahu k opozici, tak mám dojem, že to má Babiš rozehrané tak, že bude premiérem i po příštích volbách. Jinými slovy, Babiš je v tomto kontextu tak silný, jak slabá je jeho konkurence,“ uvažuje Dostál.Všechny díly podcastu Osobnost Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

7 maja 1945 roku – bezwarunkowa kapitulacja III Rzeszy. Dlaczego do niej doszło, mimo oszałamiających sukcesów w pierwszym okresie wojny? Czy ta historia mogła potoczyć się inaczej?

Pre opozičnú alternatívu dnes tiká najvyšší čas. Ak chce vystriedať Fica, nemôže to byť o menách a koalíciách, ale musí ponúknuť spoločné odpovede na kľúčové problémy Slovenska. Toto tam však vôbec nevidieť. Hovorí jeden z kľúčových architektov Mečiarovej volebnej porážky a spoluautor SDK Ivan Šimko. Napriek tomu, prečo nie je dôvod sa mentálne opúšťať?Kedy, ak nie teraz a kto, ak nie my? Otázka reálnej zmeny Ficovej vlády čoraz viac súvisí aj s témou integrácie roztrieštených opozičných síl. Má však opozícia na to aby vystriedala unavenú vládnu moc?Jej líder - Progresívne Slovensko, síce dominuje prieskumom preferencií, viacero opozičných subjektov však bojuje s hrozbou prepadu ich voličských hlasov. Opozičným politikom sa však sily spájať veľmi nechce a často - namiesto spolupráce, voči sebe radšej bojujú. Neexistuje ani kedysi obľúbený formát tieňovej opozičnej vlády, ktorá by mohla spoločným opozičným hlasom voličom formulovať konkrétne alternatívy ďalšieho vývoja Slovenska.Porážku veľmi obľúbenému premiérovi Vladimírovi Mečiarovi a tým stopku jeho vláde, pritom uštedril práve takýto spoločný opozičný subjekt - Slovenská demokratická koalícia (SDK), v ktorej sa na jednej kandidátke stretlo až 6 politických subjektov. Je čas na podobné spájanie sa a dá sa dvakrát vstúpiť do tej istej rieky? Ako sa spájajú politicky veľmi rozdielne strany a kde sa stretá umenie kompromisu a integritou vlastnej tváre? No a prečo sa dnešná opozícia nevie zjednotiť ani na vecných riešeniach kľúčových problémov Slovenska?Na integráciu opozície je najvyšší čas. Ak to myslia vážne, musia začať s programovými otázkami - teda ponukou spoločného riešenia kľúčových problémov Slovenska, nie debatou o menách či formách spájania sa. Túto logiku tam však nevidím. Odkazuje opozičným lídrom Ivan Šimko, jeden z architektov SDK, ktoré integráciou opozičných síl dokázala odstaviť od moci populárneho premiéra Vladimíra Mečiara. Oni sa o tom, ako nájsť spoločné prieniky v riešení zásadných a aktuálnych problémov tejto krajiny vôbec nerozprávajú a ani to – ako spoločná alternatíva, neformulujú verejnosti. Opantal ich premiér Fico a jeho témy. Opozícia má pritom dnes na rukách silné karty, niet dôvodu sa opúšťať, dodáva Šimko.Sledujete Ráno Nahlas, tentoraz s jedným z architektov SDK a bývalým podpredsedom KDH Ivanom Šimkom.

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. For photos and links to other episodes, check out our blog post: https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-148   Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua and this is Episode 148: A Nation Mourns Crown Prince Kusakabe approached the temporary palace structure that had been hastily assembled in the courtyard in front of the Kiyomihara Palace.   Solemnly arrayed around him, dressed in their court garments, were the ministers and government officials.  Together, they approached the palace building, where the Crown Prince's father, Ohoama, also known as Ame no Nunahara oki no Mabito, lay in state.  He had passed away, and according to the imported Confucian values of filial piety, Kusakabe was now expected to mourn in ritual fashion. 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.

„CO2 v tom pojetí, jak ho provozuje Evropská unie, je za prvé blbost a za druhé lichva. Oni si z toho udělali ideologické platidlo, zelené odpustky, za kterými už není jenom hřích, ale to, že když normálně žijeme, tak musíme zaplatit odpustek. A tento odpustek nejde Evropě,“ říká tajemník České společnosti pro energetiku Hynek Beran v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 1. díl, 14.04.2026, www.RadioUniversum.cz

Daňové priznania sa stali krutým zrkadlom zlyhávajúcej vládnej konsolidácie. Na jednej strane štát ukrojil nemalé sumy ako občanom, tak aj živnostníkom či firmám, na strane druhej napriek získaným miliardám ani tri konsolidačné balíčky nepriniesli žiadny výsledok a rozpočtový deficit je prakticky tam, kde bol.Zlyhávanie vládnych plánov priznáva už aj samotný premiér, ktorý hovorí o obrate k daňovým či odvodovým úľavám, podľa ekonómov to však rozhodne stačiť nebude. Motor Slovenska, teda rast ekonomiky, sa pritom prakticky zastavil a vládna garnitúra nemá v týchto globálne mimoriadne turbulentných časoch pre Slovensko žiadny alternatívny plán. Víziou ale nedisponuje ani politická opozícia, ktorá oprašuje recepty staré desiatky rokov a o gréckej ceste začala hovoriť už aj naša Národná banka.Miliardy z konsolidácie sa roztratili vo vládnej rozšafnosti. Oni si však svojich voličov dlhodobo otestovali a zistili, že to, že vodu kážu a víno pijú im vôbec nevadí. Oni im ukradnú aj stoličku spod zadku, ožobráčia rodiny, ale ich voličom to nevadí a dokonca im za to ešte aj tlieskajú, hovorí exminister Mihál.Sledujete Ráno Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

Łk.23,32-43 (32) Prowadzili też dwóch innych ludzi. Byli oni przestępcami i mieli być straceni razem z Jezusem. (33) Gdy więc przyszli na miejsce zwane Czaszką, ukrzyżowali tam Jego i obu przestępców, jednego z prawej, a drugiego z lewej strony. (34) W tym czasie Jezus mówił: Ojcze, przebacz im, bo nie wiedzą, co czynią. Oni zaś losowaniem rozstrzygali, co komu ma przypaść z Jego szat. (35) Lud stał i patrzył. A przełożeni nie szczędzili drwin: Innych ratował, niech uratuje siebie — jeśli jest Bożym Chrystusem, tym wybranym. (36) Szydzili też z Niego żołnierze. Ci podchodzili, podawali Mu kwaśne wino (37) i wołali: Jeśli Ty jesteś królem Żydów, uratuj się! (38) Widniał bowiem nad Nim napis: To jest król Żydów. (39) Zaczął Mu również urągać jeden z ukrzyżowanych przestępców: Skoro jesteś Chrystusem, uratuj siebie i nas! (40) Drugi natomiast skarcił go: Czy ty się Boga nie boisz, choć wymierzono ci taki sam wyrok? (41) Nam wprawdzie sprawiedliwie, bo zasłużyliśmy na to, ten człowiek jednak nie zrobił nic złego. (42) I dodał: Jezu, wspomnij o mnie, gdy przyjdziesz do swego Królestwa. (43) Jezus mu odpowiedział: Zapewniam cię, dziś będziesz ze Mną w raju. Refleksja z okazji Wielkiego Piątku, 3 kwietnia 2026

CELÝ ZÁZNAM DISKUZE NAJDETE NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION „Fanoušci Motoristů mě nemají rádi, protože útočím na jejich modlu. Ale vůbec ne neprávem. Ve společnosti je silná nevraživost a lidem je jedno, jestli jim říkáte fakta, nebo ne,“ líčí ve Studiu N vědec Daniel Kortus, který na účtu Klimatomluva vyvrací mýty a dezinformace o klimatické změně. Že ve veřejné debatě postupně přestává záležet na faktech, pozoruje podle svých slov od covidové pandemie. „Celá klimadezinformační scéna útočí na vědu a zpochybňuje ji, protože ví, že nemůže vyhrát pomocí faktů. Tam opravdu neexistuje žádná skulinka. Ze všech možných oborů – od biologie přes geologii, chemii až po fyziku – docházíme k tomu, že za klimatickou změnu můžeme my. Není co zpochybňovat. Oni se snaží vytvářet falešné autority, které napadají mainstreamovou vědu,“ vysvětluje výzkumník, který působí na Vysoké škole chemicko-technologické v Praze. „Motoristé a celá ta bandička kolem nich se snaží udělat z tématu ideologický politický boj, místo aby to nechali ve vědecké rovině. Přírodě je ale jedno, jestli jste levičák, nebo pravičák, klimatická změna se prostě děje,“ zdůrazňuje Kortus. Od té doby, co se pohybuje ve veřejném prostoru, dostává výhrůžky. „Babička se bála, aby mi Motoristé nepřejeli kočky,“ směje se. „V jeden čas mi ale opravdu chodily e-maily typu ať si dávám bacha, kudy chodím,“ popisuje. Ve Studiu N natáčeném v Lucerně během festivalu Jeden svět se vyjádřil také k aktuálním personálním čistkám a škrtům. Připomněl například práci Českého hydrometeorologického ústavu, jehož varování během bouře Boris v roce 2024 pomohla zachránit miliardy korun. „Brát peníze ČHMÚ je nejenom nezodpovědné, ale také riskantní,“ tvrdí.

W Indiach, podaję za Internetem, mysz dostała się do bankomatu i zjadła 18 tysięcy dolarów. Może to były rupie. W każdym razie zdechła. Jak więc widzimy za dużo pieniędzy naraz szczęścia nie daje. Najlepiej najeść się małymi kwotami, a nie od razu chapać. Pod tym względem sporo szczęścia mieli najwięksi finansowi gracze z Wall Street, tak zwani. „władcy wszechświata”. Oni w krótkim czasie stracili dziesiątki miliardów dolarów, bo zmieniły się warunki rynkowe, które wcześniej pozwalały im szybko się bogacić. droższy pieniądz, ryzyko kredytowe, spadki wycen, zmiany technologiczne. No i stracili miliardy. Nic z tym nie mamy wspólnego, ale trochę cieszy. Nikt nikomu źle nie życzy, z oczywistymi wyjątkami, każdy niech sobie po swojemu wypełni tę rubryczkę...

A new flavor that fills at least half a health bar. This week, we're back at it with more Marathon, now that we've both set foot on the visually striking world of Tau Ceti IV. Through devious contracts, vicious life-draining plants, and many intense losses, the runners continue their scavenging across this devastated planet. We've got more, though, including Rift of the Necrodancer's super tough take on the rhythm genre. We also delve into Batman: Arkham Origins as the playthrough of the series continues. There's also more Ghost of Yotei Legends as we take on the Oni, and just the smallest little preview of Pokopia. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Naukowcy odkryli sekret potężnych pytonów birmańskich. Przełom w leczeniu otyłości? Pyta artykuł czy odkrycie sekretu pytonów jest przełomem w leczeniu otyłości. Walka z otyłością najogólniej rzecz biorąc polega między innymi na opanowaniu apetytu. Naukowcy zidentyfikowali wyjątkową cząsteczkę w krwi pytona, która skutecznie ogranicza apetyt u otyłych myszy. Można by się przez chwilę zastanawiać jakimi drogami szło myślenie naukowców, że postanowili podać myszom kawałek krwi pytona birmańskiego. Czy takimi jak tych naukowców, którzy kiedyś badali wpływ alkoholu na pszczoły? Okazało się, że, jak w przypadku ludzi, pszczoły po alkoholu bzykały bez sensu. Otóż nie. Oni odkryli, że jak pyton birmański coś zapytoni do jedzenie i strawi, to może przez wiele miesięcy łobuziak nie odczuwać głodu, dzięki cząsteczce we krwi, którą nazwali, cząsteczkę, nie krew, pTOS. Brzydko.

CELÝ ROZHOVOR NAJDETE NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION „Čeká mě teď s mými právníky jedna věc – budu posílat zpátky do České televize peníze, abych se vyvázal z konkurenční doložky,“ říká ve Studiu N moderátor Václav Moravec. V rozhovoru s Filipem Titlbachem reaguje i na kritiku kolegů a kolegyň z Kavčích hor: „Neřekl jsem, že jsou tam zcenzurované ovce, to bych si vůči kolegům v životě nedovolil. Ale že se sami adaptují na prostředí, ve kterém už se já necítím dobře.“ Management zpravodajství podle něj počítal s tím, že do vysílání s Tomiem Okamurou vůbec nedorazí. „Myslím si, že se většina redakce domnívala, že využiju klauzuli svědomí. Michal Kubal v rozhovoru pro Seznam Zprávy řekl, že Moravec má osobní problém s Okamurou – to byla lež –, a že pokud využiju klauzuli svědomí, budu se na tom pořadu s někým střídat. Oni počítali s tím, že budou hrát příběh mé neprofesionality a egomaniactví,“ tvrdí moderátor. O tom, že se chystá v závěru pořadu oznámit svůj konec v České televizi, věděli na place jen dva lidé. „Nechtěl jsem znervóznit štáb,“ říká Moravec. „Nevěděl jsem, jaký bude Tomio Okamura, ale musím říct, že mě překvapil. Dovolím si říct, že jsme byli oba nervózní. Je fakt skvělý, protože ukázal ostatním politikům cestu, jak dál zraňovat a dostávat do defenzivy médium veřejné služby.“ Moravec ve Studiu N tvrdí, že je překvapený z toho, jak jeho konec zaskočil vedení redakce. „Počítali s tím. Michal Kubal říkal, že když Moravec odmítne, mají připraveného jiného moderátora. Jak mohli být zaskočeni?“ Proč si přinesl na vysílání s Tomiem Okamurou svou výplatní pásku?

Support my work on Patreon- https://patreon.com/realdavejackson Discord, Socials and more- https://linktr.ee/talesfromthebacklog Ghost of Tsushima (2020) was one of my favorite games of that year, and happens to be episode 2(!!) of this podcast, an early game that screamed to me "you should talk about this into a microphone for 2+ hours). That being the case, Sucker Punch's follow-up, Ghost of Yotei, was an instant day-one buy. And while the things I expected to impress were great, there were certain aspects of the game that felt worse to me than Tsushima's version. Did I change over the past five years?

This episode, we talk about two monumental projects that were started in this reign.  One was the historiographical project that likely led to the creation of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki.  And then there was the start of the first permanent capital city:  the Fujiwara Capital. Listen to the episode and find more on our website:  https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-143   Rough Transcript   Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua and this is Episode 143: Temmu's Monumental Projects     Ohoama sat astride his horse and looked out at the land in front of him.   He could still see the image of the rice fields, now long fallow, spreading out on the plain.  To the north, east, and west, he could see the mountains that would frame his vision.  As his ministers started to rattle off information about the next steps of the plan, Ohoama began to smile.  He thought of the reports his embassies to the Great Tang had brought back, about the great walled cities of the continent.  In his mind's eye, Ohoama envisioned something similar, rising up on the plain in front of him. There would be an earth and stone wall, surrounding the great city.  The gates would be grand, much like the temples, but on an even greater scale.  Houses would be packed in tight, each within their own walled compounds.  In the center painted red and white, with green accents, would be a palace to rival any other structure in the archipelago.  The people would stream in, and the city would be bustling with traffic. This was a new center, from which the power of Yamato would be projected across the islands and even to the continent.   Greetings everyone, and welcome back.  This episode we are still focused on the reign of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, between the years 672 and 686. Last episode we talked about the Four Great Temples—or the Four National Temples.  Much of this episode was focused on the rise and spread of Buddhism as we see in the building of these national temples, but also on the changes that occurred as the relationship between Buddhism and the State evolved.  This was part of Ohoama's work to build up the State into something beyond what it had been in the past—or perhaps into something comparable to what they believed it to have been in the past.  After all, based on the size of the tomb mounds in the kofun period, it does seem that there was a peak of prosperity in the 5th century, around the time of Wakatakeru, aka Yuryaku Tennou, and then a decline, to the point that the lineage from Wohodo, aka Keitai Tennou, seemed to have come in during a time when they were rebuilding Yamato power and authority. This episode we are going to talk about two projects that Ohoama kicked off during his reign.  He wouldn't see the completion of either one, since both took multiple decades to complete, but both focused on linking the past and the future.  The first we'll talk about is a new attempt to gather historical documents and records—the last time that was done was in the time of Kashikiya Hime, over 50 years ago.  That was during the height of Soga power.  Since then a lot had changed, and presumably there were even more stories and records that had been written down.  Plus the tide had changed.  So they needed to update—and maybe even correct—the historical record. But beyond that, there was a greater goal: Ohoama and his court also needed to make sure that the past was something that they wanted to go back to, among other things. The other thing we are going to discuss is the start of a project to build a brand new capital city.  And when we talk a bout city, we really mean a city.  This was a massive undertaking, likely unlike anything that we've seen so far.  Sure, there had been monumental building projects, but this was something that was going to take a lot more work - how much more monumental could you get than a new city?  And it would create a physical environment that would be the embodiment of the new centralization of power and authority, and the new state that Ohoama was building, with his administration—and Yamato—at the center.   Let's start with the big ones.  First and foremost, we have the entry from the 17th day of the 3rd month of the 681.  Ohoama gave a decree from the Daigokuden to commit to writing a Chronicle of the sovereigns and various matters of high antiquity.  Bentley translates this as saying that they were to record and confirm the Teiki, which Aston translated as the Chronicle of the Sovereigns, and various accounts of ancient times.  This task was given out to a slew of individuals, including the Royal Princes Kawashima and Osakabe; the Princes Hirose, Takeda, Kuwada, and Mino; as well as Kamitsukenu no Kimi no Michichi, Imbe no Muraji no Kobito, Adzumi no Muraji no Inashiki, Naniwa no Muraji no Ohogata, Nakatomi no Muraji no Ohoshima, and Heguri no Omi no Kobito.  Ohoshima and Kobito were specifically chosen as the scribes for this effort.  We aren't told what work was started at this time.  Aston, in his translation of the Nihon Shoki, assumes that this is the start of the Kojiki.  Bentley notes that this is the first in a variety of records about gathering the various records, including gathering records from the various families, and eventually even records from the various provinces.  And I think we can see why.  Legitimizing a new state and a new way of doing things often means ensuring that you have control of the narrative.  Today, that often means doing what you can to control media and the stories that are in the national consciousness.  In Ohoama's day, I'd argue that narrative was more about the various written sources, and how they were presented.  After all, many of the rituals and evidence that we are looking at would rely on the past to understand the present.  The various family records would not only tell of how those families came to be, but would have important information about what else was going on, and how that was presented could determine whether something was going to be seen as auspicious, or otherwise.  Even without getting rid of those records, it would be important to have the official, State narrative conform to the Truth that the state was attempting to implement. Ultimately, there is no way to know, exactly, how everything happened.  If the Nihon Shoki had a preface, it has been lost.  The Kojiki, for its part, does have a preface, and it points to an origin in the reign of Ohoama—known as the sovereign of Kiyomihara.  In there we are told that the sovereign had a complaint—that the Teiki and Honji, that is the chronicles of the sovereigns and the various other stories and legends, that had been handed down by various houses had come to differ from the truth.  They said they had many falsehoods, which likely meant that they just didn't match the Truth that the State was trying to push.  Thus  they wanted to create a so-called "true" version to pass down. This task was given to 28 year old Hieda no Are.  It says they were intelligent and had an incredible memory.  They studied all of the sources, and the work continued beyond the reign of Ohoama.  Later, in 711 CE, during the reign of Abe, aka Genmei Tennou, Oho no Yasumaro was given the task of writing down everything that Hieda no Are had learned.  The astute amongst you may have noticed that this mentions none of the individuals mentioned in the Nihon Shoki.  Nor does the Nihon Shoki mention anything about Hieda no Are.  So was this a separate effort, or all part of the same thing?  Was Are using the materials collected by  the project? As you may recall, we left the Kojiki behind some time ago, since it formally ends with the reign of Kashikiya hime, aka Suiko Tennou, but realistically it ended with Wohodo, aka Keitai Tennou—after that point there are just lists of the various heirs.  As such, there is some speculation that this was originally built off of earlier histories, perhaps arranged during the Soga era. The general explanation for all of this is that Hieda no Are memorized the poems and stories, and then Yasumaro wrote them down.  Furthermore, though the language in the Kojiki does not express a particular gender, in the Edo period there was a theory that Hieda no Are was a woman, which is still a popular theory. Compare all of that to the Nihon Shoki.  Where the Kojiki was often light on details and ends with Suiko Tennou, the Nihon Shoki often includes different sources, specifically mentions some of them by name, and continues up through the year 697.  Furthermore, textual analysis of the Nihon Shoki suggests that it was a team effort, with multiple Chroniclers, and likely multiple teams of Chroniclers.   I have to admit, that sounds a lot more like the kind of thing that Ohoama was kicking off. We have an entry in the Shoku Nihongi, the work that follows the Nihon Shoki, that suggests 720 for the finished compilation of the Nihon Shoki.  So did it take from 681 to 720 to put together?  That is a really long project, with what were probably several generations of individuals working on it. Or should this be read in a broader sense?  Was this a historiographical project, as Bentley calls it, but one that did not, immediately, know the form it would take?  It isn't the first such project—we have histories of the royal lineage and other stories that were compiled previously—much of that attributed to Shotoku Taishi, but likely part of an earlier attempt by the court.  In fact, given that the Kojiki and Sendai Hongi both functionally end around the time of Kashikiya hime, that is probably because the official histories covered those periods.  Obviously, though, a lot had happened, and some of what was written might not fit the current narrative.  And so we see a project to gather and compile various sources.  While this project likely culminated in the projects of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, I doubt that either work was necessarily part of the original vision.  Rather, it looks like the original vision was to collect what they could and then figure things out. It would have been after they started pulling the accounts together, reading them, and noticing the discrepancies that they would have needed to then edit them in such a way that they could tell a cohesive story.  That there are two separate compilations is definitely interesting.  I do suspect that Oho no Yasumaro was working from the efforts of Hieda no Are, either writing down something that had been largely captured in memory or perhaps finishing a project that Are had never completed.  The Nihon Shoki feels like it was a different set of teams, working together, but likely drawing from many of the same sources. And as to why we don't have the earlier sources?  I once heard it said that for books to be forgotten they didn't need to be banned—they just needed to fall out of circulation and no longer be copied anymore.  As new, presumably more detailed, works arose, it makes sense that older sources would not also be copied, as that information was presumably in the updated texts, and any information that wasn't brought over had been deemed counterfactual.  Even the Nihon Shoki risked falling into oblivion; the smaller and more digestible Kojiki was often more sought after.  The Kojiki generally presents a single story, and often uses characters phonetically, demonstrating how to read names and places.  And it just has a more story-like narrative to it.  The Nihon Shoki, comparatively, is dense, written in an old form of kanbun, often relying more on kanbun than on phonetic interpretations.  It was modeled on continental works, but as such it was never going to be as easy to read.  And so for a long time the Kojiki seems to have held pride of place for all but the most ardent scholars of history. Either way, I think that it is still fair to say that the record of 681 was key to the fact that we have this history, today, even if there was no way for Ohoama, at the time, to know just what form it would take. Another ambitious project that got started under Ohoama was the development of a new and permanent capital city. Up to this point we've talked about the various capitals of Yamato, but really it was more that we were talking about the palace compounds where the sovereign lived.  From the Makimuku Palace, where either Mimaki Iribiko or possibly even Himiko herself once held sway, to the latest palace, that of Kiyomihara, the sovereigns of Yamato were known by their palaces.  This is, in part, because for the longest time each successive sovereign would build a new palace after the previous sovereign passed away.  There are various reasons why this may have been the case, often connected to insular concepts of spiritual pollution brought on by the death of an individual, but also the practical consideration that the buildings, from what we can tell, were largely made of untreated wood.  That made them easier to erect, but also made them vulnerable to the elements, over time, and is probably one of the reasons that certain shrines, like the Shrine at Ise, similarly reconstitute themselves every 20 years or so. Furthermore, we talk about palaces, but we don't really talk about cities.  There were certainly large settlements—even going back to the Wei chronicles we see the mention of some 70 thousand households in the area of Yamateg.  It is likely that the Nara basin was filled with cultivated fields and many households.  Princes and noble households had their own compounds—remember that both Soga no Umako and Prince Umayado had compounds large enough that they could build temples on the compounds and have enough left over for their own palatial residences, as well.  However, these compounds were usually distributed in various areas, where those individuals presumably held some level of local control. It is unclear to me how exactly the early court functioned as far as housing individuals, and how often the court was "in session", as it were, with the noble houses.  Presumably they had local accommodations and weren't constantly traveling back and forth to the palace all the time.  We know that some houses sent individuals, men and women, to be palace attendants, even though they lived some distance away.  This was also likely a constraint on the Yamato court's influence in the early days. We do see the sovereign traveling, and various "temporary" palaces being provided.  I highly doubt that these were all built on the spot, and were likely conversions of existing residences, and similar lodging may have been available for elites when they traveled, though perhaps without such pomp and circumstance. What we don't really see in all of this, are anything resembling cities.  Now, the term "city" doesn't exactly have a single definition, but as I'm using it, I would note that we don't see large, permanent settlements of significant size that demonstrate the kind of larger civil planning that we would expect of such a settlement.  We certainly don't have cities in the way of the large settlements along the Yangzi and Yellow rivers. We talked some time back about the evolution of capital city layouts on the continent.  We mentioned that the early theoretical plan for a capital city was based on a square plan, itself divided into 9 square districts, with the central district constituting the palace.  This design works great on paper, but not so much in practice, especially with other considerations, such as the north-south orientation of most royal buildings.  And then there are geographic considerations.  In a place like Luoyang, this square concept was interrupted by the river and local topography.  Meanwhile, in Chang'an, they were able to attain a much more regular rectangular appearance.  Here, the court and the palace were placed in the center of the northernmost wall.  As such, most of the city was laid out to the south of the palace. In each case, however, these were large, planned cities with a grid of streets that defined the neighborhoods.  On each block were various private compounds, as well as the defined markets, temples, et cetera. The first possible attempt at anything like this may have been with the Toyosaki palace, in Naniwa.  There is some consideration that, given the size of the palace, there may have been streets and avenues that were built alongside it, with the intention of having a similar city layout.  If so, it isn't at all clear that it was ever implemented, and any evidence may have been destroyed by later construction on the site.  Then we have the Ohotsu palace, but that doesn't seem to be at the same scale as the Toyosaki palace—though it is possible that, again, we are missing some key evidence.  Nonetheless, the records don't really give us anything to suggest that these were large cities rather than just palaces. There is also the timeline.  While both the Toyosaki palace and the Ohotsu palace took years to build, they did not take the time and amount of manpower that would be needed to create a true capital city.  We can judge this based on what it took to build the new capital at Nihiki. This project gets kicked off in the 11th month of 676.  We are told that there was an intent to make the capital at Nihiki, so all of the rice-fields and gardens within the precincts, public and private property alike, were left fallow and became totally overgrown. This likely took some time.  The next time we see Nihiki is in the 3rd month of 682, when Prince Mino, a minister of the Household Department, and others, went there to examine the grounds.  At that point they apparently made the final decision to build the capital there.  Ohoama came out to visit later that same month. However, a year later, in the 12th month of 683, we are told that there was a decree for there to be multiple capitals and palaces in multiple sites, and they were going to make the Capital at Naniwa one of those places.  And so public functionaries were to go figure out places for houses.  So it wasn't just that they wanted to build one new, grand capital.  It sounds like they were planning to build two or three, so not just the one at Nihiki.  This is also where I have to wonder if the Toyosaki Palace was still being used as an administrative center, at the very least.  Or was it repurposed, as we saw that the Asuka palaces had been when the court moved to Ohotsu? This is further emphasized a few months later, when Prince Hirose and Ohotomo Yasumaro, at the head of a group of clerks, officials, artisans, and yin yang diviners were sent around the Home Provinces to try and divine sites suitable for a capital.  In addition, Prince Mino, Uneme no Oni no Tsukura, and others were sent to Shinano to see about setting up a capital there as well.  Perhaps this was inspired by the relationship between the two Tang capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang.  Or perhaps it was so that if one didn't work out another one might. Regardless, Nihiki seemed to be the primary target for this project, and in the third lunar month of 684 Ohoama visited the now barren grounds and decided on a place for the new palace.  A month later, Prince Mino and others returned with a map of Shinano, but there is no indication of where they might want to build another capital. After that, we don't hear anything more of Shinano or of a site in the Home Provinces.  We do hear one more thing about Naniwa, which we mentioned a couple of episodes back, and that is that in 686 there was a fire that burned down the palace at Naniwa, after which they seem to have abandoned that as a palace site.  And so we are left with the area of Nihiki. This project would take until the very end of 694 before it was ready.  In total, we are looking at a total of about 18 years—almost two decades, to build a new capital.  Some of this may have been the time spent researching other sites, but there also would have been significant time taken to clear and level.  This wasn't just fields—based on what we know, they were even taking down old kofun; we are later told about how they had to bury the bodies that were uncovered.  There was also probably a pause of some kind during the mourning period when Ohoama passed away.  And on top of it, this really was a big project.  It wasn't just building the palace, it was the roads, the infrastructure, and then all of the other construction—the city gates, the various private compounds, and more.  One can only imagine how much was being invested, especially if they were also looking at other sites and preparing them at the same time.  I suspect that they eventually abandoned the other sites when they realized just how big a project it really was that they were undertaking. Today we know that capital as Fujiwara-kyo, based on the name of the royal palace that was built there, and remarkably, we know where it was.  Excavations have revealed the site of the palace, and have given us an idea of the extent of the city:  It was designed as a square, roughly 5.3 kilometers, or 10 ri, on each side.  The square itself was interrupted by various terrain features, including the three holy mountains.  Based on archaeological evidence, the street grid was the first thing they laid out, and from what we can tell they were using the ideal Confucian layout as first dictated in the Zhouli, or Rites of Zhou.  This meant a square grid, with the palace in the center. Indeed, the palace was centered, due south of Mt. Miminashi, and you can still go and see the palace site, today.  When they went to build the palace, they actually had to effectively erase, or bury, the roads they had laid out.  They did the same thing for Yakushi-ji, or Yakushi-temple, when they built it as part of the city; one of the reasons we know it had to have been built after the roads were laid out.  We will definitely talk about this more when we get to that point of the Chronicles, but for now, know that the Fujiwara palace itself, based on excavations of the site, was massive.  The city itself would surpass both Heijo-kyo, at Nara, and Heian-kyo, in modern Kyoto.  And the palace was like the Toyosaki Naniwa palace on steroids.  It included all of the formal features of the Toyosaki Palace for running the government, but then enclosed that all in a larger compound with various buildings surrounding the court itself.  Overall, the entire site is massive.  This was meant as a capital to last for the ages. And yet, we have evidence that it was never completed.  For one thing, there is no evidence that a wall was ever erected around it—perhaps there was just no need, as relations with the mainland had calmed down, greatly.  But there is also evidence that parts of the palace, even, were not finished at the time that they abandoned it.  Fujiwara-kyo would only be occupied for about 16 years before a new capital was built—Heijo-kyo, in Nara.  There are various reasons as to why they abandoned what was clearly meant to be the first permanent capital city, and even with the move to a new city in Nara it would be clear that it was going to take the court a bit of time before they were ready to permanently settle down—at least a century or so. Based on all the evidence we have, and assuming this was the site of the eventual capital, Nihiki was the area of modern Kashihara just north of Asuka, between—and around—the mountains of Unebi, Miminashi, and Kagu.  If these mountains are familiar, they popped up several times much earlier in the Chronicles--Mostly in the Age of the Gods and in the reign of the mythical Iware-biko, aka Jimmu Tennou.  Yet these three mountains help to set out the boundaries of the capital city that was being built at this time. There is definitely some consideration that they were emphasized in the early parts  of the Chronicles—the mythical sections, which were bolstering the story of Amaterasu and the Heavenly Grandchild, setting up the founding myths for the dynasty.  Even though the Chronicles  were not completed until well after the court had moved out, the Fujiwara capital is the climax of the Nihon Shoki, which ends in 697, three years into life at the new palace.  And so we can assume that much of the early, critical editing of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki were done with the idea that this would be the new capital, and so it was woven into the histories, and had it continued as the capital, the very landscape would have recalled the stories of the divine origins of the Royal family and the state of Yamato itself.  This was the stage on which Ohoama's state was built.  He, and his successors, didn't just change the future path of the Yamato government.  They rearranged the physical and temporal environment, creating a world that centered them and their government.  I suspect that Ohoama didn't originally consider that these wouldn't be finished during his reign.  That said, he came to power in his 40s, only slightly younger than his brother, who had just died.  He would live to be 56 years old—a respectable age for male sovereigns, around that time.  From a quick glance, Naka no Oe was about 45 or 46 years old, while Karu lived to about 57 or 58.  Tamura only made it to 48.  The female sovereigns seem to have lasted longer, with Ohoama's mother surviving until she was 66 or 67 years old, and Kashikiya Hime made it to the ripe old age of 74.  That said, it is quite likely that he thought he would make it longer.  After all, look at all the merit he was accruing!  Still, he passed away before he could see these projects fully accomplished.  That would have to be left for the next reign—and even that wasn't enough.  The Fujiwara Capital would only be occupied for a short time before being abandoned about two reigns later, and the histories as we know them wouldn't be complete for three more reigns.  So given all of this, let's take another quick look at Ohoama himself and where he stands at this pivotal moment of Yamato history.When we look at how he is portrayed, Ohoama is generally lionized for the work he is said to have accomplished.  I would argue that he is the last of three major figures to whom are attributed most of the changes that resulted in the sinification of the Yamato government.  The first is prince Umayado, aka Shotoku Taishi, who is said to have written the 17 article constitution, the first rank system, and the introduction of Buddhism.  To be fair, these things—which may not have been exactly as recorded in the Chronicles—were likely products of the court as a whole.  Many people attribute more to Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tennou, as well as Soga no Umako.  Of course, Soga no Umako wasn't a sovereign, or even a member of the royal family, and Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tennou, seems to have likewise been discounted, at least later, possibly due to the fact that she is thought to have come to power more as a compromise candidate than anything else—she was the wife of a previous sovereign and niece to Soga no Umako.  Many modern scholars seem to focus more on the agency of Kashikiya Hime and suggest that she had more say than people tend to give her credit for.  That said, Shotoku Taishi seems to have been the legendary figure that was just real enough to ascribe success to.  That he died before he could assume the throne just meant that he didn't have too many problematic decisions of his own to apparently work around. The next major figure seems to be Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tennou.  Naka no Oe kicks off the period of Great Change, the Taika era, and is credited with a lot of the changes—though I can't help but notice that the formal sovereign, Naka no Oe's uncle, Karu, seems to have stuck with the new vision of the Toyosaki Palace and the administrative state while Naka no Oe and his mother moved back to the traditional capital.  And when Naka no Oe moved the capital to Ohotsu, he once again built a palace more closely aligned to what we see in Asuka than the one in Naniwa, which brings some questions about how the new court was operating.  But many of his reforms clearly were implemented, leveraging the new concepts of continental rulership to solidify the court's hegemony over the rest of the archipelago. Ohoama, as represented in the Chronicles, appears to be the culmination of these three.  He is building on top of what his brother had implemented through the last three reigns.  Some of what he did was consolidate what Naka no Oe had done, but there were also new creations, for which Ohoama is credited, even if most of the work was done outside of Ohoama's reign, but they were attributed to Ohoama, nonetheless.  Much of this was started later in Ohoama's reign, and even today there seem to be some questions about who did what.  Nonetheless, we can at least see how the Chroniclers were putting the story together. There are a lot of scholars that point to the fact that the bulk of the work of these projects would actually be laid out in the following reigns, and who suggest that individuals like the influential Uno no Sarara, who held the control of the government in Ohoama's final days, may have had a good deal more impact on how things turned out, ultimately.  In fact, they might even have been more properly termed her projects—there are some that wonder if some of the attributions to Ohoama were meant to bolster the authority of later decrees, but I don't really see a need for that, and it seems that there is enough evidence to suggest that these projects were begun in this period. All of this makes it somewhat ironic that by the time the narrative was consolidated and published to the court, things were in a much different place—literally.  The Fujiwara capital had been abandoned.  The court, temples, and the aristocracy had picked up stakes and moved north.  Fujiwara no Fuhito had come on the scene, and now his family was really taking off.  This was not the same world that the Chronicles had been designed around. And yet, that is what was produced.  Perhaps there is a reason that they ended where they did. From that point on, though, there were plenty of other projects to record what was happening.  Attempts to control the narrative would need to do a lot more.  We see things like the Sendai Kuji Hongi, with its alternative, and perhaps even subversive, focus on the Mononobe family.  And then later works like the Kogoshui, recording for all time the grievances of the Imbe against their rivals—for all the good that it would do.  With more people learning to write, it was no longer up to the State what did or did not get written down. But that has taken us well beyond the scope of this reign—and this episode, which we should probably be bringing to a close.  There are still some things here and there that I want to discuss about this reign—so the next episode may be more of a miscellany of various records that we haven't otherwise covered, so far.  Until then if you like what we are doing, please tell your friends and feel free to rate us wherever you listen to podcasts.  If you feel the need to do more, and want to help us keep this going, we have information about how you can donate on Patreon or through our KoFi site, ko-fi.com/sengokudaimyo, or find the links over at our main website,  SengokuDaimyo.com/Podcast, where we will have some more discussion on topics from this episode.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Aubrey Sitterson, author of Free Planet Volume 1. About Free Planet Volume 1: In the wake of a grueling war of independence, a team of revolutionary heroes is tasked with defending their home and its uniquely potent energy source from multiple intergalactic superpowers intent on domination. But though they are each deeply committed to the dream of a free planet, they all have completely different ideas about what complete freedom actually entails. Faced with separatist movements, counterrevolutionaries, political deadlock, famine, equipment shortages, a looming trade war, violent attacks and wildly divergent ideas of how to handle each, can true freedom endure? Informed by real-world research and extensive design work, Aubrey Sitterson (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts, Worlds' Finest) have created a comic that functions as both literature and art object, a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence. About Aubrey Sitterson: Aubrey Sitterson is a Los Angeles based writer, best known for the science-fantasy action comic No One Left to Fight, co-created with Fico Ossio; The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling graphic novel, co-created with Chris Moreno; and the successfully crowdfunded BEEF BROS, co-created with Tyrell Cannon, and Stoned Master, again with Chris Moreno. He has written for all of the industry’s top publishers, including Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, IDW, BOOM!, Oni, Dynamite and Viz.

Figuring out what to eat can sometimes feel like a relentless chore. And for people on the autism spectrum, mealtimes can be even more challenging—from food aversions to noisy restaurants to feeling ostracized because of what or how they eat.Today we're digging deeper with the co-hosts of The Autistic Delicatessen. It's a food podcast that centers the voices of adults with a neurodivergent perspective. Dalia met the show's producer and co-host, Larrnell Cross, at a podcasting workshop in Tampa. In this conversation, Dalia and Larrenell are joined by Autistic Delicatessen co-hosts Shalese Heard and Candi Carpenter. (Other co-hosts include Nikko Gomez, Melissa Pappas, Rachel Ann Harding and former co-host Oni.)In this conversation, Larrnell, Shalese and Candi share: Why food is a natural conversation starter for people with or without autism Why some people on the autism spectrum have aversions to certain foods or food textures. How restaurants can be more inclusive Whether you're on the spectrum or you love someone who is, settle in for this candid conversation.
